The Glenn Beck Program - 'Armed with The Truth' (Michelle Myers joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, love, courage, truth, Glenn Beck.

00:00:21.840 Where do we begin today?

00:00:23.920 I guess the quote, he looked lost, absolutely lost.

00:00:34.240 That's the way that James Sneed described the 19-year-old Florida school shooter.

00:00:40.160 He saw him up close. He was led inside a police headquarters in handcuffs.

00:00:47.080 James Sneed and his wife had tried to help the teenager.

00:00:49.900 They had been, they took him in. He was living with them.

00:00:57.120 The shooter's mom, who had adopted him when he was a baby, died last November.

00:01:03.240 His adoptive father died in 2004.

00:01:06.880 So, this couple took him in.

00:01:10.260 The latest school shooting in Florida is the ultimate nightmare.

00:01:14.360 And I don't care who you are.

00:01:18.660 It hurts your heart.

00:01:22.640 Our hearts ache for the families of the murdered and injured students.

00:01:27.540 And there aren't any words for this kind of tragedy.

00:01:31.800 It's unreal to me that we're referring to this as the, quote, latest school shooting.

00:01:38.240 We are caught in a vicious cycle of tragedy.

00:01:47.220 And it's dividing us because we're all trying to win.

00:01:59.000 We're pointing fingers.

00:02:01.440 We're blaming.

00:02:03.840 We're making the other side into monsters.

00:02:08.240 When something like this happens, it's natural to scramble, to pinpoint something or someone to blame.

00:02:18.620 It's the human way of trying to make sense of a tragedy and trying to make things better.

00:02:25.580 It's the gun.

00:02:26.460 It's the person.

00:02:27.400 It's the FBI.

00:02:28.520 It's the social services.

00:02:29.920 It's the school district.

00:02:31.340 We all want to prevent this.

00:02:37.080 All of us.

00:02:38.460 Those who believe in the Second Amendment and those who don't.

00:02:42.300 We all want to solve this.

00:02:47.200 But nobody has all the answers.

00:02:50.060 And there isn't a single solution.

00:02:52.080 And we, as a people, are being pushed into ridiculous corners.

00:03:01.460 The political hard left sees no issue other than guns.

00:03:07.360 And you'll notice it's, why won't the Republicans do anything?

00:03:11.140 And the hard political right sees no issue beyond gun rights.

00:03:18.020 They're just coming after our guns.

00:03:21.400 Well, they can argue all they want.

00:03:25.200 But that leaves this huge, deep canyon of problems all in the middle that everyone is refusing to even look at.

00:03:35.340 We're sick as a society.

00:03:44.680 A kid could have walked in the 1960s into any gun store and bought any gun and all the ammunition he wanted at any time.

00:03:51.420 And no questions asked.

00:03:53.280 We didn't have shooters.

00:03:54.980 There were more guns per capita 150 years ago than there are now.

00:04:00.220 We didn't have people going in and doing this.

00:04:02.580 Why?

00:04:03.280 What is happening to us?

00:04:04.880 It is clearly not the gun.

00:04:07.800 There is something deeply wrong and ill in our society.

00:04:16.700 Have you heard anybody talk about this one fact?

00:04:20.980 The Florida shooter had something else in common with almost every other single mass murderer in recent years.

00:04:31.980 He grew up without a father.

00:04:34.880 Why aren't we talking about that?

00:04:38.840 The data is so clear about the links between fatherless children and violence and suicide and dropping out of school and drug and alcohol abuse.

00:04:50.200 Of the deadliest mass shootings in the last 15 years, nine of them were committed by males under 30 years old.

00:05:00.220 Seven of those nine came from fatherless homes.

00:05:04.360 And obviously, not everybody who grew up without a father has their life ruined, becomes a criminal, becomes a murderer.

00:05:23.460 But America has an epidemic of fatherless homes and we are now saying that every single choice is acceptable when we don't know if that is true.

00:05:39.820 We're conducting a grand experiment on the human race and we have no idea.

00:05:49.620 Do you know what really, really the effects are of your kids on social media?

00:05:55.060 No, we can guess.

00:05:56.960 I can tell you this.

00:05:58.000 The leaders of Silicon Valley, they don't have their kids on Facebook.

00:06:02.320 They don't have their kids on Instagram.

00:06:05.320 What do they know that we don't?

00:06:09.680 We don't know what that effect will be in 20, 30 years.

00:06:13.340 It may be nothing.

00:06:14.460 How about video games?

00:06:18.240 How about violent movies?

00:06:21.680 Do you know that you can say all you want?

00:06:25.960 My kids, no.

00:06:27.040 Well, they don't.

00:06:27.960 Until they're 24, they don't.

00:06:30.600 The brain is different in children.

00:06:34.980 Do you also know that even your brain, it doesn't separate fact from fiction?

00:06:41.220 You can, you can, you can look at that and go, well, that was a movie.

00:06:47.100 But your brain processes the trauma as exactly the same thing as if you would have seen it firsthand.

00:06:54.280 How many murders have we all seen?

00:06:56.240 How many violent murders have we all seen?

00:06:59.120 Have we even noticed that heads pop on the screen now?

00:07:04.560 That people take headshots and they pop and you see the gore.

00:07:08.620 What, what, what, what, where were the people that used to say all the time?

00:07:12.760 Well, don't show, I don't want to see all the gore.

00:07:14.900 That's in everything now.

00:07:21.920 You know, this, this kid, he shot two people in the head.

00:07:29.200 Headshots are pretty difficult.

00:07:30.540 Not only are they difficult in skill level, headshots are also really difficult emotionally.

00:07:42.760 It, it took us over a hundred years to get people to do headshots on the first time shooting a human being.

00:07:51.080 There's so many problems, but can, can we talk about some of them that we can solve?

00:08:03.040 In 1960, 5% of American children were born out of wedlock.

00:08:07.980 Today, that's over 40.

00:08:11.920 40.

00:08:12.440 And it's not getting better because marriage means nothing to people.

00:08:19.180 Why does it mean nothing?

00:08:23.800 I hear the lecture my grandmother gave me.

00:08:28.440 Do you think your grandfather and I loved each other all those years?

00:08:32.140 Well, yeah, grandma, I kind of did.

00:08:35.660 No, marriage is hard.

00:08:37.760 Sometimes we chose just to stick it out because we were married and it meant something.

00:08:52.960 I don't want to bring more anger and divisiveness.

00:08:55.460 Boy, that is the problem.

00:08:57.760 Our society is feeling the stress of more than half a century of this epidemic.

00:09:05.100 So many of our children are lost and it's getting worse.

00:09:10.360 Look at the depression and suicide rates.

00:09:13.060 It's getting worse.

00:09:15.700 They have no moral compass, no truth to anchor their souls.

00:09:21.340 Our schools, we should remove guns.

00:09:23.600 Well, you've already taught them that you use a finger gun and it's dangerous.

00:09:28.440 And yet it seems to be getting worse because the problem is in the soul.

00:09:33.240 The problem is inside each of us.

00:09:40.720 How many of our kids are growing up without an identity or, you know what, a fake identity?

00:09:47.220 They're growing up with a fake identity.

00:09:49.960 Everything is great.

00:09:51.340 You're perfect.

00:09:52.220 You're special.

00:09:53.300 You know what?

00:09:54.780 That's a lie.

00:09:55.940 You're not, you're, I'm sorry, your singing wasn't so good.

00:10:01.900 Let's find some things that you are good at because everybody's good at something.

00:10:07.740 It's just not everybody is great at that.

00:10:11.980 Our kids don't know who they are.

00:10:13.840 In the U.S., genealogy websites are the second most visited category site after pornography.

00:10:26.300 Genealogy.

00:10:27.380 Why?

00:10:28.980 People are trying to figure out who they are.

00:10:33.820 What is true?

00:10:35.480 Where did I come from?

00:10:36.800 Having a father isn't a guarantee of anything.

00:10:42.460 It's not a cure-all.

00:10:45.420 We make our own choices.

00:10:47.320 We're responsible for our own choices.

00:10:49.420 And there are plenty of abusive or fathers that are in the home but are completely absent.

00:10:56.640 Trying to be a good dad seems like a niche thing these days.

00:11:02.760 Trying to be a good man.

00:11:04.560 I don't even know what that means.

00:11:06.180 How do we expect a teenage boy to understand what a man is when you can't even talk about it?

00:11:15.520 Try to understand what a, what is a man?

00:11:18.580 Tell me, what is a man?

00:11:20.600 What is a good man?

00:11:22.480 Is a good man a guy who picks up the recent Sports Illustrated bikini issue that doesn't have them in bikinis at all but has,

00:11:32.180 what is it, no more hashtag bullcrap written all over their bodies so we can teach our kids not to objectify women through the objectification of women?

00:11:45.680 Oh my gosh.

00:11:46.820 How do you expect a young man to grow up?

00:11:50.660 How do you expect them to know what's right and what's wrong, what's up and what's down?

00:11:55.100 Our society is running the narrative right now that men are bad, that we don't place cultural value on masculine influence.

00:12:06.220 We think we've evolved beyond the need for fathers.

00:12:11.420 We don't need them anymore because they've done too much damage, you know.

00:12:15.700 And men, you're not off the hook.

00:12:20.960 We have not done ourselves any favors with our behavior.

00:12:24.740 Too many of us, too many of us are pigs, too many of us are lazy, too many of us are absence.

00:12:30.820 And I include, I include myself in these.

00:12:36.400 The unpopular truth is we need a nuclear family.

00:12:41.320 We need a father.

00:12:45.620 We need to know what a man is.

00:12:50.720 The nuclear family is not something from the 1950s.

00:13:02.400 It's from the beginning of time.

00:13:05.200 It's the bedrock of every society.

00:13:07.440 And our bedrock has deep cracks into it, and it is starting to shake into sand.

00:13:15.640 You want to know what you can do?

00:13:19.480 If you're a dad, dig in and do better.

00:13:24.400 If you have the means, reach out and be a father figure to somebody who doesn't have a father.

00:13:30.820 We can make a bunch of reactionary laws, but laws mean nothing.

00:13:34.600 Eventually, we can all be in a prison, and somebody will still be shivved in the prison because it's not the shiv or the gun.

00:13:44.260 It's what's inside.

00:13:46.920 And these reactionary laws will make us feel better for a while because we fixed it.

00:13:53.000 But you cannot legislate the deepest needs of the human soul.

00:13:58.920 And those deepest needs are to be known, to be heard, to have a place, to be accepted, and to be loved.

00:14:11.060 It's Monday, February 19th.

00:14:25.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:28.520 Wow, I'm sorry.

00:14:29.280 I had about literally two minutes of notes.

00:14:31.800 I didn't realize that I just spent 15 minutes on that.

00:14:35.180 Well, you had a lot.

00:14:38.040 Three days of being sick.

00:14:39.620 You had a lot to say, apparently.

00:14:40.940 And I have so much more to say on that.

00:14:44.160 But we're going to have to take a quick break, and then we'll come back.

00:14:48.080 I have a ton to say today.

00:14:51.460 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:14:53.640 It's LifeLock.

00:14:54.820 When you thought cybercriminals couldn't stoop any lower, they're now stealing and selling social security numbers and other personal information of infants.

00:15:06.800 Infants.

00:15:08.280 Why?

00:15:09.760 It's actually quite brilliant if you look at it from the thief's point of view.

00:15:16.180 You buy the infant information on the dark web because they have a clean credit history.

00:15:21.780 They can take out a mortgage.

00:15:23.240 They can apply for credit cards.

00:15:24.600 They can receive government benefits.

00:15:27.300 And the crime goes undetected for years because the infant isn't actually applying for anything.

00:15:34.180 And when they do, it's a huge headache for years as they're growing up.

00:15:39.320 There's so many threats that are, you know, happening in our connected world now.

00:15:43.660 But LifeLock is there with identity theft protection that now is adding the power of Norton security to help protect you against the threats to your identity and your devices.

00:15:53.080 So, you know, those things that you can't easily see or fix, they're there for you.

00:15:58.180 And if there's a problem, their agents will work to fix it.

00:16:01.480 Nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity thefts, or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:16:06.560 But the new LifeLock with Norton security can uncover the threats that you might miss most likely will.

00:16:12.800 Go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK.

00:16:16.500 Use the promo code BECK for an extra 10% off your first year.

00:16:20.320 That's promo code BECK for an extra 10% off now.

00:16:24.500 LifeLock.com promo code BECK.

00:16:28.160 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:16:35.600 Glenn Beck.

00:16:36.640 So I've had a hard time, had a hard time of watching and listening to the arguments back and forth about guns.

00:16:50.100 And I fear we are going to start losing rights.

00:16:55.920 It's only a matter of time before something happens that we're going to start losing our rights.

00:17:03.740 And it's because we're focused on all the wrong things.

00:17:08.900 We're not having an actual conversation.

00:17:10.980 We're letting politics drive the debate instead of science and heart.

00:17:19.420 Politicians are just doing what politicians do.

00:17:22.220 Grab more power and fly in to try to solve problems that they can't.

00:17:28.560 Let's listen to a couple of things.

00:17:30.120 Here's first the guy who is running for president as a member of the GOP.

00:17:36.240 Here's John Kasich.

00:17:37.920 I was talking to a friend of mine this morning.

00:17:40.060 He's a big gun collector.

00:17:41.200 I said, if all of a sudden you couldn't buy an AR-15, what would you lose?

00:17:45.500 Would you feel as though your Second Amendment rights would be eroded because you couldn't buy a goddarn AR-15?

00:17:51.980 These are the things that have to be looked at.

00:17:54.120 And action has to happen before.

00:17:56.000 And look, you're never going to fix all of this, but common sense gun laws make sense.

00:18:04.120 I can't take it.

00:18:05.860 Okay.

00:18:06.120 So, John, first of all, notice he didn't say what his friend responded.

00:18:10.600 John, it just shows you don't know.

00:18:12.840 If we're going to have a debate on guns, then half of the country must educate themselves.

00:18:20.380 I cannot debate guns if you don't know anything about them.

00:18:30.200 Okay.

00:18:30.680 An AR just looks scary.

00:18:33.660 If I put a wooden stock around that gun, it's the same as all the other rifles.

00:18:41.800 It is a semi-automatic.

00:18:45.320 You know what else is it?

00:18:46.200 That sounds scary.

00:18:47.300 You know what else is a semi-automatic?

00:18:49.240 Everything other than cowboy guns.

00:18:54.140 Let me say it again.

00:18:55.980 Everything other than cowboy guns are semi-automatic.

00:19:00.500 If I have two semi-automatic handguns, which are normal handguns, anything other than a six-shooter,

00:19:10.580 I can have, unless you're in New Jersey, 13 rounds in the magazine.

00:19:20.560 If I have two of them, I have almost 30 bullets.

00:19:25.180 That's common core math.

00:19:27.060 Seems like it would be easier to hold two handguns than two AR-15s.

00:19:31.040 You get rid of the AR-15s.

00:19:33.600 You're going to replace them with something else.

00:19:35.340 It doesn't matter.

00:19:36.700 It is not about the gun.

00:19:39.920 It is not about the gun.

00:19:42.240 And I just cannot take this ridiculous conversation about the AR.

00:19:49.680 The AR has been made into this really spooky weapon.

00:19:54.220 You know what?

00:19:56.240 Put wooden stocks on it.

00:19:59.420 And everybody will go, well, then that's fine.

00:20:01.780 That's fine.

00:20:02.680 It's not that spooky gun over there.

00:20:05.200 He used the word eroded.

00:20:06.980 I might use a different term.

00:20:09.400 Infringe upon might be something.

00:20:12.060 Wow.

00:20:12.620 I don't know why I would use that word exactly.

00:20:15.360 But it's an important word.

00:20:16.500 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:20:28.580 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:31.960 The Second Amendment was about muskets.

00:20:34.680 Gun control works in other countries.

00:20:37.100 Do you know 40% of all guns sold are sold without background checks?

00:20:41.460 More guns mean more murder.

00:20:44.200 Mass shootings are becoming more and more common.

00:20:46.500 These massacres are unique to America.

00:20:51.480 No civilian needs a weapon of war like the AR-15.

00:20:56.200 Armed guards in schools do nothing.

00:20:58.200 Just look at Columbine.

00:21:00.400 Stop fear-mongering.

00:21:01.840 No one's talking about taking your guns away.

00:21:05.260 All of those are answered in a book that I published two years ago.

00:21:10.120 Control.

00:21:10.640 Get it now.

00:21:12.700 You can get it on Amazon.

00:21:14.320 You can download it.

00:21:16.460 Start reading it today.

00:21:17.620 It is every argument to all of these lies.

00:21:23.640 If you want to have a real conversation about what's happening,

00:21:28.780 and I will talk to you about common sense.

00:21:32.380 I will talk to you about things that we can do for people who are mentally ill.

00:21:37.760 If you're mentally ill, okay, let's have that conversation.

00:21:40.900 Should you be able to buy a gun?

00:21:42.160 No.

00:21:43.300 Now, how do we do it?

00:21:44.840 There's a million things that we can talk about before blaming all of this on the AR-15.

00:21:52.580 It's ridiculous.

00:21:54.280 It's ridiculous.

00:21:55.000 But let's have that real conversation.

00:21:58.620 And if you want to have it, you need to be armed with the truth and the facts.

00:22:02.760 The name of the book is Control, the Exposing the Truth About Guns.

00:22:09.060 Make sure you pick it up.

00:22:10.120 You can find it at Amazon right now.

00:22:12.800 We know the problem is not guns, Glenn.

00:22:14.540 We know the problem are males.

00:22:17.380 That's the problem.

00:22:18.360 Is that what it is?

00:22:19.100 It's masculinity.

00:22:20.100 This toxic masculinity.

00:22:22.280 That is the problem.

00:22:23.080 That goes back to my original argument of the hour.

00:22:28.660 Toxic masculinity.

00:22:30.940 What does that even mean?

00:22:33.200 What does it mean to be a man anymore?

00:22:37.120 Listen to this.

00:22:38.240 Toxic masculinity.

00:22:40.500 This is a point that we really have to think about.

00:22:42.940 There's a kind of toxic masculinity at the heart of this gun.

00:22:46.500 This gun culture.

00:22:47.980 Rooted in a myth about who we take ourselves to be.

00:22:51.840 America's rugged individualism.

00:22:53.480 The government is not going to protect you.

00:22:54.840 We can protect ourselves.

00:22:56.580 Right?

00:22:56.940 And there's a way in which this AR-15 is actually the weapon of the minute man.

00:23:01.460 Right?

00:23:01.720 There's this old myth around it.

00:23:03.680 So we have to begin to imagine ourselves differently.

00:23:06.500 I think we need a revolution of value in this country.

00:23:10.320 Myth around that, Glenn.

00:23:11.680 There's a myth around the minute man.

00:23:14.080 There's a myth around the government can't protect you.

00:23:21.000 That's not a myth.

00:23:23.120 The government can't protect you.

00:23:25.560 Tell me how it's protecting these kids in the schools.

00:23:28.120 Government can't protect you.

00:23:30.140 You know, Stu.

00:23:33.620 You know there hasn't been any shootings at all with an automatic weapon.

00:23:40.400 Any mass shootings since the 1920s.

00:23:42.260 Yeah, and that proves that gun laws can work.

00:23:44.500 It does?

00:23:45.000 Yeah, it does.

00:23:45.940 Because what's happening here is they ban the automatic weapons.

00:23:48.560 And now you're seeing these mass shootings.

00:23:49.640 But you're not seeing them without these automatic weapons anymore.

00:23:52.220 None of them are happening with automatic weapons.

00:23:54.000 And that proves that gun laws can work.

00:23:55.420 But wait.

00:23:57.380 The mass shootings are happening.

00:24:00.240 Not with automatic weapons.

00:24:02.040 Because we banned them.

00:24:04.220 But doesn't that prove that if you ban something...

00:24:09.420 Go ahead.

00:24:11.320 That if you ban something, then the shootings will stop with that thing.

00:24:15.320 Yes.

00:24:15.940 But they will just start picking up something else to do those mass shootings.

00:24:21.380 This is a legitimate point the left is making right now.

00:24:23.400 Look, if you ban automatic weapons, these shootings went away.

00:24:25.840 Is your point to stop mass shootings with the AR-15?

00:24:31.100 Because maybe you would.

00:24:32.780 I guess.

00:24:33.640 I mean, there's 10 million of them out there.

00:24:34.860 But maybe you would cut back on mass shootings with AR-15s.

00:24:38.500 You'd just increase them with handguns or shotguns or whatever other weapon of choice.

00:24:43.460 Whatever thing you didn't ban or whatever was already out there, that's how the mass shootings would occur.

00:24:47.220 Why didn't we ban planes?

00:24:49.540 Why didn't we ban planes 20 years ago?

00:24:52.460 Why didn't we do that?

00:24:53.760 Because it's not the plane.

00:24:56.100 It's not the plane.

00:24:57.440 It's the person in control of the plane.

00:25:00.220 That's why.

00:25:03.020 That's why.

00:25:05.160 And it's sort of a cultural thing, too, right?

00:25:08.120 Mass shootings are more common here than in other countries, though per capita, those numbers are blown way out of proportion.

00:25:16.360 But it's like, if you look at here, you mentioned in the break about how assassinations were a big thing in the 60s and 70s, right?

00:25:27.340 And we took steps and we were able to do things to slow them down.

00:25:32.060 But also, they lost their sort of cultural zeitgeist, right?

00:25:34.500 They were not the thing.

00:25:35.960 Now, mass shootings are the thing here, but they're not the thing everywhere else.

00:25:39.680 You know, suicide has been a cultural thing in Japan forever.

00:25:43.780 However, it's why their suicide rate, despite the fact they have no guns at all, is higher than ours, right?

00:25:50.760 Suicide bombers in the Middle East are the cultural way that really bad people take out their whatever they want to get out of their system to kill other people.

00:25:59.680 And there they do it with car bombs and suicide vests.

00:26:03.380 You have to obviously try to minimize these things, but you're not going to stop if you take away the guns.

00:26:08.480 I mean, the biggest mass shooting in history, I should clarify, all of the biggest mass shootings in history are from governments against their unarmed populists.

00:26:18.280 So, when we take those out, though, if we eliminate, I don't know, the hundred thousand examples of the biggest mass shooting being a bunch of governments who just shot a bunch of the people that didn't have guns.

00:26:28.860 If we take all of those out, the biggest mass shooting in history is in Norway, where there was no one, there was no guns to get.

00:26:37.100 Somehow, a guy got a gun, and he still shot 90 people or whatever it was.

00:26:40.960 And the problem with that was they were sitting ducks, and there was no help coming.

00:26:46.400 No.

00:26:46.520 This guy who talked about the toxic masculinity and the myth of who we are.

00:26:52.480 Let's make sure that we understand myths.

00:26:55.020 It's a myth.

00:26:56.000 I cannot tell a lie.

00:26:58.680 I did, Father, chop down the cherry tree.

00:27:00.860 That's a myth.

00:27:01.880 Why we tell a lie to teach kids about how honest someone is is remarkable to me.

00:27:09.500 That's a myth.

00:27:10.860 The Minuteman, that's not a myth.

00:27:12.840 The idea that we are rugged individualists that don't wait for the government, that's who we are.

00:27:19.600 Now, that's not who everybody else is, but that's who we are.

00:27:22.680 At least, that's who we were.

00:27:25.000 Progressives have been trying to change that forever.

00:27:27.720 Now, we can have that conversation, but let's have it honestly.

00:27:31.780 That is who we always have been up until probably the last 50 years, when it's really started to grind.

00:27:42.380 Half of the country still wants to be that.

00:27:45.100 The other half doesn't.

00:27:47.320 Well, we have to have that conversation.

00:27:51.540 It's not a myth.

00:27:52.720 The other thing was that he said was, you know, this myth that the government can't save you.

00:27:59.200 Let me play another.

00:28:00.300 This is the chief of police, I think, from Broward County.

00:28:05.060 Polk County.

00:28:06.000 Polk County, Florida.

00:28:07.160 Listen to this.

00:28:08.400 There's no absolutes in life, but I can tell you this.

00:28:11.060 At least two coaches were killed standing in front of and trying to protect kids.

00:28:16.340 Don't you believe it would be a game changer if they had a gun to defend the children?

00:28:21.220 I do.

00:28:22.640 Here's the basic math.

00:28:24.900 The average shooter is finished with his evil deed in two to five minutes.

00:28:29.480 We study these things.

00:28:31.300 In fact, in Broward County, it was three minutes.

00:28:34.200 The average police response is plus five minutes.

00:28:38.500 When 911s call, the shooter is on the campus wreaking havoc.

00:28:44.880 That's too late.

00:28:46.640 We have got to wake up.

00:28:48.560 The first responder, that term, first responders, that's from Jimmy Carter.

00:28:58.840 America, you have to understand you are the first response.

00:29:04.840 Do you know one of the things that we can do to stop these shooters?

00:29:09.520 And this is not a solution.

00:29:12.400 This is a temporary band-aid.

00:29:14.900 The solution is let's look inside of our culture and find out what is rotting us to the core.

00:29:21.440 What is causing children to want to kill children?

00:29:26.480 There's something really wrong here.

00:29:28.580 And it's not the gun.

00:29:29.800 There's something really wrong here.

00:29:33.880 Okay.

00:29:37.000 Here's what you do.

00:29:38.900 You tell all of the school children, and you run drills.

00:29:42.860 You tell all of the school children, if somebody comes into the classroom with a gun, everybody, no matter what you have, your book bag, your books, your pencils, your pens,

00:29:51.820 whatever you have, you immediately throw it, all of you, as a class, you all throw everything you have at it.

00:30:00.680 And whoever is closest, those four people, whoever closest, get him.

00:30:05.600 Now, that will take most of the shooting down to maybe one or two killed.

00:30:17.140 Well, we don't want to do that because we're not going to tell what if it was your kid that was told, get him.

00:30:23.140 Well, he's the first responder.

00:30:26.500 He's running to protect his life.

00:30:28.420 Didn't we hold those people up on the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania?

00:30:34.900 Didn't we hold those guys up who said, get him?

00:30:39.120 We did.

00:30:40.060 They were the first responder.

00:30:41.520 There was no help coming.

00:30:43.780 No, no, no.

00:30:44.680 Stay in your seat.

00:30:45.540 Wait until we get on the ground.

00:30:46.800 You're not going to get on the ground.

00:30:48.420 The person who's walking into that room is planning on killing as many as he can.

00:30:53.880 Get him.

00:30:54.380 Instead, we teach our kids to hide and wait for five plus minutes.

00:31:02.880 They are done with their shooting between two and four minutes.

00:31:09.080 So there is no first response there.

00:31:13.700 You either put armed people in the schools.

00:31:17.580 Or you teach the kids to stand up and defend themselves because the police cannot make it in time because they're not the first responders.

00:31:28.360 They're the second responders.

00:31:30.880 You are the first.

00:31:32.420 Do you know how many kids we have lost in fires in schools, mass school fires?

00:31:37.300 And since the 1950s?

00:31:39.760 I don't think any.

00:31:42.320 We have fire drills all the time.

00:31:45.380 How many of us have mass shooter drills?

00:31:50.480 That's much more dangerous right now than fires.

00:31:54.220 How many have mass shooter drills?

00:31:57.160 And are the drills doing exactly the same thing in their minds that, let's be honest, if you're my age, when we had a nuclear drill, that we had a missile launch.

00:32:10.600 Does anybody remember these?

00:32:11.820 It was crawl under your desk.

00:32:15.380 Now, I remember those were big, heavy steel, American-made steel desks when steel was steel.

00:32:23.420 I remember how heavy those things were.

00:32:25.600 But even in the second grade, I remember thinking, this isn't going to help.

00:32:30.280 Don't look at the flash.

00:32:32.580 We're going to burn to death.

00:32:34.080 What the hell is that?

00:32:35.220 Crawl under my desk.

00:32:36.720 You don't think our kids are thinking the same thing?

00:32:42.800 Let's give our kids a chance.

00:32:46.940 Let's stop with the myth that the police are the first responders.

00:32:52.940 Because they're not.

00:32:55.040 Let's stop with the myth that this is because of guns.

00:32:58.940 Because it's not.

00:33:00.340 Are there some common sense things we can do to make sure that disturbed people do not have guns?

00:33:09.460 Yes.

00:33:10.520 Let's have that conversation.

00:33:12.920 But that should not be the end of the conversation.

00:33:17.780 I don't even think that should be the beginning of the conversation.

00:33:20.240 The beginning of the conversation is, what's happening to us?

00:33:23.340 What's happening to our children?

00:33:25.020 That's the beginning of this conversation.

00:33:29.500 Notice nobody's willing to start there.

00:33:32.240 You know, Hollywood really, they rallied around cigarette smoke.

00:33:46.060 It's going to be cancer.

00:33:46.760 It's killing people.

00:33:47.780 Cancer sticks.

00:33:48.840 They've rallied.

00:33:50.240 Nobody's going to smoke.

00:33:51.540 They put it.

00:33:52.160 They even put it in the ratings.

00:33:54.760 Second.

00:33:55.380 I've seen it.

00:33:57.060 PG-13 or whatever.

00:33:59.900 Second hand smoke.

00:34:02.240 Okay, it's in the ratings now.

00:34:06.280 But when they wanted to stop America from smoking, they stopped glamorizing it.

00:34:11.180 They stopped putting it in all of the movies.

00:34:12.960 Hollywood, if you're so serious, stop all movies that glorify guns.

00:34:20.560 Only use guns in war movies.

00:34:24.580 Let only the good guys, the police, have guns.

00:34:29.180 But don't glorify it.

00:34:30.600 Don't glorify the shooting of people.

00:34:33.740 You won't do it.

00:34:34.960 And you know why?

00:34:36.780 Because you'll lose too much money.

00:34:42.380 Hypocrites.

00:34:42.900 All right, you want a great night's sleep?

00:34:48.100 Grab a Casper mattress.

00:34:49.880 A great night's sleep every single night.

00:35:26.020 There's no way you can try these things out in stores.

00:35:28.160 It's ridiculous.

00:35:29.100 You lay there in your clothes and you're like, I don't know, it's fine.

00:35:31.960 And you get it out of your house and after like five, six nights, you're like, I hate this thing.

00:36:35.320 Welcome back to the program.

00:36:41.840 Tonight we have a beginning of a series on the Blaze TV at 5 o'clock that I urge you to see.

00:36:50.200 These are three of the most powerful women I have ever met that have.

00:36:57.380 They are the opposite, quite honestly, of what's happening in our society.

00:37:02.880 They are not victims.

00:37:04.540 They refuse to be called victims.

00:37:07.260 Women that were literally chained by the neck as slaves.

00:37:12.960 And their amazing story of escape and recovery begins tonight at 5 o'clock on the Blaze TV.

00:37:43.500 Glenn Beck.

00:37:45.140 I want you to put yourself in his situation for a second.

00:37:47.880 The traffic was unbearable.

00:37:50.420 He had heard the news.

00:37:51.440 He felt, as a dad, it's going to take forever before I could get to the high school.

00:37:59.440 Police cars and police officers dotted every foot of the asphalt.

00:38:04.700 He rolled down the window and he held out a picture of his daughter, Meadow, on his phone to the passing officers.

00:38:10.020 Have you seen her?

00:38:11.020 Have you seen her?

00:38:14.920 This moment of this dad holding up a photo of his daughter was captured and posted on social media.

00:38:22.380 I think most people saw a father barely hanging on to the last bit of hope that he had that his daughter had survived the shooting.

00:38:36.120 Some only saw his Trump 2020 t-shirt.

00:38:41.320 The reactions were instant.

00:38:48.320 I don't feel sorry for him and F Trump.

00:38:52.740 Maybe he should have thought twice before voting for hashtag terrorist Trump.

00:39:00.920 Andrew eventually found Meadow.

00:39:02.780 It was every parent's worst nightmare.

00:39:09.780 She was one of the victims of the shooting.

00:39:14.660 And yet the comments continued to pour in.

00:39:18.480 He's pro-Trump, which means he supports the guy who's responsible for the death of his child.

00:39:29.800 How did we get here?

00:39:32.780 How are we not noticing how callous we're becoming to each other, both sides?

00:39:44.660 We now live in a world where it's easier to choose cynicism over compassion,

00:39:49.300 where a snarky remark is more satisfying than a kind word.

00:39:56.580 You can blame it on our phones and our computers.

00:39:59.020 Well, they allow us to, you know, be our worst self.

00:40:01.740 Really?

00:40:02.780 The computer does that.

00:40:04.580 Or are we doing that?

00:40:08.800 Both sides use the screen as a shield,

00:40:11.440 and we hurl grenades at our perceived enemies.

00:40:15.540 How are we blind to the despair in Andrew Pollack's eyes?

00:40:30.040 How are we blind to the despair in anyone who is suffering in this country?

00:40:36.120 Left, right, in the middle, it doesn't matter.

00:40:38.020 How is it we're only seeing labels or T-shirts?

00:40:47.520 I thought about this a lot this weekend.

00:40:49.560 I'm going to say some pretty unpopular things,

00:40:59.300 and I want you to listen and stew on it today.

00:41:04.820 It's pride.

00:41:05.820 It's pride.

00:41:06.820 It's pride.

00:41:12.140 It's arrogance.

00:41:16.120 We are so arrogant.

00:41:17.780 We are so proud that our side has the answer.

00:41:21.920 We're too proud to see past our insignificant differences with each other.

00:41:30.440 It's pride.

00:41:31.220 It's otherness.

00:41:36.100 If we can't get past our political opinions,

00:41:38.860 how are we ever going to get past the big stuff?

00:41:43.440 We have become so proud,

00:41:46.240 so proud that we have the answer,

00:41:50.000 and that our answer will alter the very fabric of humanity.

00:41:53.480 We're so proud that we really believe

00:42:01.600 that we can legislate violence out of civilization.

00:42:06.600 Violence is a consequence of the gift of free will.

00:42:14.880 And the poison in our soul

00:42:18.020 is also a consequence of the gift of free will.

00:42:27.360 We are not God.

00:42:31.000 We don't have all of the answers.

00:42:40.140 We've got to stop making this about political positions

00:42:45.300 and see each other again.

00:42:50.580 And the only way that will happen is if we humble ourselves.

00:42:55.400 But to me, over the last few days,

00:42:58.480 the only thing that has been screaming at me

00:43:02.880 is God will have a humble people.

00:43:09.240 We need humility now more than ever.

00:43:12.320 Because we're all so convinced that we are right,

00:43:18.900 that we are stopping,

00:43:21.360 we are not allowing ourselves

00:43:23.780 to see the basic threat of humanity in others.

00:43:27.520 It's Monday, February 19th.

00:43:40.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:43.700 I want you to ponder this today.

00:43:46.960 We all began to lose

00:43:49.040 the minute we decided we had to win.

00:43:57.520 Most things, I think,

00:44:03.120 that come from

00:44:04.320 an eternal perspective.

00:44:07.700 You know the phrase,

00:44:09.140 God works in mysterious ways.

00:44:11.720 Yeah.

00:44:12.720 Yeah, it really does.

00:44:14.300 Not really mysterious to him,

00:44:15.680 but mysterious to us,

00:44:16.660 because sometimes

00:44:17.900 they just don't make any sense.

00:44:21.440 We all began to lose

00:44:23.340 the minute we decided we had to win.

00:44:25.760 What?

00:44:30.940 Universal laws go against,

00:44:33.080 I think,

00:44:33.780 man's basic nature.

00:44:35.640 And that's the point.

00:44:37.580 That's the point.

00:44:39.460 We're not animals.

00:44:41.460 Well, technically we are.

00:44:44.300 But our brain and our free will

00:44:46.420 gives us the ability

00:44:47.700 to be something bigger than that.

00:44:49.700 But for some reason,

00:44:50.760 we are convinced

00:44:53.760 and we are convincing ourselves

00:44:55.800 and our culture

00:44:56.560 is convincing ourselves

00:44:57.640 to just be your base animal.

00:45:01.000 Just go for it.

00:45:02.440 What feels good,

00:45:03.840 do it.

00:45:05.320 That's the opposite

00:45:06.680 of where we should be headed.

00:45:09.080 Who's pointing up?

00:45:10.900 Who's saying be that?

00:45:13.080 Let's reach for the stars.

00:45:14.760 There's something bigger.

00:45:15.800 There's something brighter.

00:45:16.800 There's something better.

00:45:18.080 Our arrogance

00:45:23.040 has become

00:45:24.820 so profound

00:45:26.440 we are all

00:45:27.400 so busy

00:45:28.240 looking down

00:45:29.280 at someone

00:45:30.240 or down

00:45:31.180 on something.

00:45:33.780 And that's our problem

00:45:35.100 because when you spend

00:45:36.260 your whole life

00:45:36.940 looking down,

00:45:38.000 you're never looking up

00:45:39.380 to see what's above you,

00:45:40.860 to see what's in front of you,

00:45:42.060 to see what's possible.

00:45:43.380 Everyone is teaching you

00:45:48.680 look down on them.

00:45:56.080 We all began to lose

00:45:57.520 the minute we decided

00:45:58.380 we had to win.

00:46:00.020 Lose your life

00:46:00.820 to gain your life?

00:46:02.120 What?

00:46:02.500 What?

00:46:09.320 When I was younger,

00:46:10.600 I searched

00:46:13.600 for certainty.

00:46:19.440 I feared doubt.

00:46:21.320 I don't want to have doubt.

00:46:22.380 I want certainty.

00:46:25.780 I find myself

00:46:27.260 in a weird position

00:46:28.720 to where

00:46:29.340 I now fear certainty

00:46:31.860 and I find

00:46:34.840 profound answers

00:46:36.480 in doubt.

00:46:37.300 it is our arrogance

00:46:41.640 and our certitude.

00:46:45.160 Certitude

00:46:45.720 is the

00:46:46.720 is the

00:46:47.540 mortal

00:46:48.260 enemy

00:46:49.060 of tolerance.

00:46:55.860 I'm right.

00:46:57.500 They're wrong.

00:47:00.860 Well, if they're wrong,

00:47:02.000 then they have nothing

00:47:02.740 to teach me.

00:47:04.400 They just have to

00:47:05.480 sit down and listen.

00:47:07.300 Tell me how that

00:47:12.420 has worked

00:47:12.900 with any of your

00:47:13.500 children.

00:47:15.500 My children

00:47:16.220 have taught me

00:47:17.040 a ton.

00:47:23.300 I learned something

00:47:24.340 from my son

00:47:25.100 just this weekend

00:47:26.600 as we were having

00:47:28.180 a father and son

00:47:29.500 discussion

00:47:30.680 where everything

00:47:32.140 in me wanted to

00:47:33.020 throw him up

00:47:33.520 against the refrigerator.

00:47:34.380 and I told him

00:47:36.500 that I am about

00:47:38.680 to throw you

00:47:39.300 against the refrigerator

00:47:40.200 and I don't think

00:47:41.300 that's a wise

00:47:42.760 idea.

00:47:44.160 So why don't we

00:47:45.500 take it down

00:47:46.500 a notch?

00:47:50.060 And we did.

00:47:51.100 I learned

00:47:55.440 humility.

00:47:57.700 I stopped

00:47:58.600 trying to win.

00:48:08.020 If there's only

00:48:08.900 certainty,

00:48:09.560 then there is no doubt

00:48:10.600 and without doubt,

00:48:11.700 there's no need

00:48:13.000 for faith.

00:48:13.560 there's no mystery.

00:48:18.600 Doubt

00:48:19.200 is what breathes

00:48:20.800 life

00:48:21.360 into our faith.

00:48:24.680 And how often

00:48:25.940 do we speak

00:48:27.260 and do we argue

00:48:28.280 about things

00:48:30.040 that we really

00:48:31.060 don't know?

00:48:31.820 you've regurgitated

00:48:32.960 from something

00:48:33.600 that you've heard

00:48:34.260 and I don't know

00:48:35.180 I can't make the

00:48:36.220 why can't you

00:48:36.940 make the case?

00:48:37.740 It's your job

00:48:38.700 to make the case.

00:48:42.120 And if you can't

00:48:43.160 make the case,

00:48:43.840 stop trying

00:48:44.760 to make the case.

00:48:53.400 How many times

00:48:54.320 have we

00:48:54.720 spoken with

00:48:55.760 absolute certitude?

00:48:57.620 I know

00:48:58.640 these things

00:48:59.560 are going to happen.

00:49:00.400 I know

00:49:01.560 this is true

00:49:02.500 only to

00:49:03.540 later have

00:49:04.200 a deeper

00:49:04.600 understanding

00:49:05.440 a different

00:49:07.860 understanding.

00:49:09.980 Did we

00:49:10.940 notice

00:49:11.560 that our

00:49:12.280 certitude

00:49:12.920 was misplaced?

00:49:18.080 How many times

00:49:19.280 have we fought

00:49:19.680 for our beliefs?

00:49:26.020 Not knowing

00:49:27.300 or not recognizing

00:49:28.640 or not giving

00:49:29.560 the ultimate

00:49:30.620 power

00:49:31.180 to the idea

00:49:32.380 that the truth

00:49:33.140 cannot be

00:49:34.340 vanquished.

00:49:35.600 I may lose

00:49:36.740 this battle

00:49:37.300 but the truth

00:49:37.920 will win.

00:49:43.040 Humility

00:49:43.640 is a surrender

00:49:45.900 to the truth.

00:49:50.220 Because no matter

00:49:51.300 how our battle

00:49:52.140 goes

00:49:52.520 the truth

00:49:53.480 wins.

00:49:54.580 how often

00:49:57.800 do we

00:49:58.100 fight?

00:49:58.640 How often

00:49:59.020 do we

00:49:59.260 get on

00:49:59.560 Facebook

00:50:00.060 and say

00:50:00.600 horrible

00:50:01.440 things

00:50:02.000 to each

00:50:02.420 other?

00:50:03.400 Well,

00:50:03.900 I'm not

00:50:04.240 saying horrible

00:50:04.760 things.

00:50:05.220 They're saying

00:50:05.760 horrible

00:50:06.040 things.

00:50:06.540 I've got

00:50:06.960 to defend

00:50:07.540 it.

00:50:07.800 I mean,

00:50:08.700 we've got

00:50:09.500 to.

00:50:09.880 We can't

00:50:10.540 lose this.

00:50:11.300 Losing's

00:50:11.820 not an

00:50:12.220 option.

00:50:15.520 How many

00:50:16.200 times have

00:50:16.600 you thought

00:50:16.980 it has

00:50:18.260 to be

00:50:18.580 this way

00:50:19.080 and then

00:50:19.840 you lose.

00:50:22.260 I have

00:50:23.220 to have

00:50:23.580 this job.

00:50:24.700 I cannot

00:50:25.880 lose this.

00:50:27.560 I cannot

00:50:28.120 and then

00:50:28.820 you do.

00:50:30.340 You lose

00:50:31.080 it.

00:50:31.640 You don't

00:50:32.020 get it.

00:50:34.840 And you're

00:50:35.580 convinced

00:50:36.280 that's the

00:50:36.700 worst thing

00:50:37.100 ever.

00:50:37.740 And years

00:50:38.160 later you go,

00:50:38.960 man,

00:50:39.420 if that

00:50:39.880 would have

00:50:40.120 happened,

00:50:40.460 that would

00:50:40.660 have been

00:50:40.840 the biggest

00:50:41.300 mistake

00:50:41.820 ever.

00:50:43.940 Our

00:50:44.460 certitude

00:50:45.380 is our

00:50:46.040 enemy.

00:50:49.840 I've

00:50:54.600 pondered a

00:50:55.060 lot this

00:50:55.420 weekend.

00:50:56.080 My God,

00:50:56.620 my God,

00:50:57.100 why have

00:50:57.440 you forsaken

00:50:58.000 me?

00:50:58.860 This is

00:50:59.620 the guy

00:51:00.380 that Christians

00:51:01.240 believe is

00:51:02.400 God.

00:51:06.400 This is a

00:51:07.200 guy who

00:51:08.380 doesn't doubt.

00:51:09.640 He knows.

00:51:10.820 He doubted.

00:51:12.300 He doubted

00:51:13.440 for a fraction

00:51:14.440 of a second.

00:51:15.520 I'm alone.

00:51:18.480 Why have

00:51:19.260 you forsaken

00:51:19.920 me?

00:51:20.940 What did

00:51:21.560 he do?

00:51:24.060 He didn't

00:51:25.060 surrender to

00:51:26.040 his doubt,

00:51:27.520 but he

00:51:29.600 surrendered to

00:51:30.820 victory because

00:51:32.780 the die was

00:51:34.000 already cast.

00:51:35.820 The truth

00:51:36.620 will win.

00:51:38.160 Surrender.

00:51:41.420 Humility is

00:51:42.640 seen as a

00:51:43.460 weakness,

00:51:44.000 and I don't

00:51:44.560 understand that

00:51:45.620 for a so-called

00:51:47.580 God-fearing

00:51:48.700 nation.

00:51:49.240 I don't

00:51:50.060 understand how

00:51:51.340 we see

00:51:51.980 humility as

00:51:53.060 a weakness,

00:51:53.660 how we see

00:51:54.820 surrender as

00:51:56.160 a weakness.

00:51:58.700 Humility is

00:51:59.520 not a

00:51:59.920 weakness.

00:52:00.500 It is the

00:52:00.940 key that

00:52:01.520 unlocks the

00:52:02.300 ultimate power

00:52:03.540 of God,

00:52:04.360 the ultimate

00:52:04.800 power of

00:52:05.380 Christ,

00:52:05.940 the ultimate

00:52:06.500 power of

00:52:07.060 the universe,

00:52:07.660 whatever you

00:52:08.060 want to call

00:52:08.620 it.

00:52:09.120 It is the

00:52:09.960 ultimate

00:52:10.320 power.

00:52:10.880 what is

00:52:14.700 Luke trying

00:52:15.340 to do to

00:52:16.120 Darth Vader?

00:52:17.120 Surrender.

00:52:18.140 Just surrender.

00:52:19.280 Dad, put your

00:52:20.180 sword down,

00:52:21.060 man.

00:52:21.780 I get to

00:52:22.540 take your

00:52:22.920 mask off in

00:52:23.680 the end.

00:52:24.040 You're going

00:52:24.240 to smile at

00:52:24.880 me and say

00:52:25.300 it was all

00:52:25.680 great.

00:52:26.520 You saved

00:52:27.240 me.

00:52:27.660 All you

00:52:28.140 did was

00:52:28.840 surrender.

00:52:29.660 We can

00:52:34.940 respond to

00:52:35.980 our unfair

00:52:36.560 treatment.

00:52:37.140 We can

00:52:37.380 respond to

00:52:38.320 people who

00:52:39.780 are unkind

00:52:40.620 without being

00:52:41.420 bitter.

00:52:44.380 Humility means

00:52:45.500 you don't have

00:52:46.320 the need for

00:52:47.080 vengeance or

00:52:47.980 revenge.

00:52:49.660 Humility means

00:52:50.520 you don't have

00:52:51.040 to act like

00:52:51.660 you're bigger

00:52:52.060 than you are.

00:52:54.680 The better you

00:52:55.620 understand humility,

00:52:56.800 the more you

00:52:57.380 know God,

00:52:58.140 the less you

00:52:59.080 have to prove.

00:53:03.740 Being humble

00:53:04.660 doesn't mean

00:53:05.540 that you're a

00:53:06.140 pushover.

00:53:07.520 The most

00:53:08.300 humble man

00:53:08.940 that ever

00:53:09.360 lived was

00:53:10.200 Christ and

00:53:11.140 he threw

00:53:11.540 the table

00:53:12.120 over in

00:53:12.620 the temple,

00:53:14.180 the money

00:53:14.640 changers.

00:53:16.120 It doesn't

00:53:17.020 mean you

00:53:17.340 don't speak

00:53:17.820 with directness.

00:53:18.920 It means

00:53:20.000 that you've

00:53:20.700 checked yourself

00:53:21.480 and you're

00:53:21.920 speaking with

00:53:22.600 kindness.

00:53:24.320 You're speaking

00:53:25.320 to another

00:53:26.040 human being

00:53:26.880 that doesn't

00:53:27.740 agree with

00:53:28.260 you and

00:53:29.000 you realize

00:53:29.740 they may

00:53:30.420 have something

00:53:31.000 to teach

00:53:31.520 me.

00:53:32.180 In fact,

00:53:32.660 I'm sure

00:53:33.340 they do.

00:53:34.660 So let's

00:53:35.460 have a

00:53:35.820 conversation.

00:53:40.280 Again,

00:53:40.920 you're left

00:53:41.280 with a

00:53:41.560 paradox.

00:53:43.020 The

00:53:43.280 smaller,

00:53:44.380 the

00:53:45.580 smaller,

00:53:46.660 the smaller

00:53:48.660 you become,

00:53:49.800 the more

00:53:50.120 meek you

00:53:50.660 become,

00:53:51.120 the quieter

00:53:51.680 you become,

00:53:52.900 the more

00:53:53.960 effective you

00:53:54.660 become.

00:53:55.100 it actually

00:53:58.200 means that

00:53:59.720 in the end

00:54:00.300 with humility

00:54:02.400 you're the

00:54:05.540 winner.

00:54:07.840 Even though

00:54:08.800 you may have

00:54:09.800 lost that

00:54:11.040 battle.

00:54:11.440 America needs

00:54:24.100 to understand

00:54:24.700 a few

00:54:25.220 things.

00:54:25.900 One is that

00:54:26.600 we're more

00:54:26.960 vulnerable to

00:54:27.600 disaster than

00:54:28.320 ever before.

00:54:29.040 FEMA has

00:54:29.640 admitted failure.

00:54:31.100 They did this

00:54:31.600 in December,

00:54:32.100 I think like

00:54:32.460 the 17th,

00:54:33.180 right before

00:54:33.500 Christmas,

00:54:33.840 when everybody

00:54:34.500 was paying

00:54:34.900 attention to

00:54:35.380 FEMA.

00:54:36.320 They said

00:54:36.780 they're broke.

00:54:37.560 FEMA is

00:54:38.280 broken and

00:54:39.180 don't wait

00:54:39.920 for us

00:54:40.600 the next

00:54:41.040 crisis because

00:54:41.880 we're not

00:54:42.620 going to be

00:54:42.880 able to do

00:54:43.280 that.

00:54:44.100 Okay,

00:54:44.400 so what does

00:54:44.780 that mean?

00:54:45.660 That means

00:54:46.220 you are the

00:54:47.420 first responder.

00:54:48.780 Make sure

00:54:49.280 your family

00:54:49.860 is ready.

00:55:26.780 Glenn,

00:55:27.760 back,

00:55:34.860 Glenn,

00:55:35.900 back.

00:55:40.080 Facebook and

00:55:40.820 Twitter,

00:55:41.200 I'm not sure.

00:55:44.600 I think if it

00:55:45.080 was,

00:55:45.340 if it was,

00:55:46.380 if it wasn't

00:55:46.780 for this job,

00:55:47.480 I don't think

00:55:48.280 I would be on

00:55:48.920 it.

00:55:49.520 I don't,

00:55:50.020 it makes me

00:55:51.160 feel awful.

00:55:52.960 It makes me

00:55:54.040 believe less

00:55:55.580 in people.

00:55:57.500 Yeah,

00:55:57.580 that's the part

00:55:58.080 that I've

00:55:59.100 recently crystallized

00:56:00.320 to me is that

00:56:01.340 it's not just

00:56:02.300 that people

00:56:02.760 say dumb

00:56:03.280 things or

00:56:04.080 that like

00:56:04.580 there's annoying

00:56:05.380 people out there.

00:56:06.140 It makes,

00:56:06.640 it makes me

00:56:07.480 have less

00:56:08.180 of a hope

00:56:08.960 for the future

00:56:09.860 of the country,

00:56:10.500 for the future

00:56:11.080 of humanity

00:56:11.660 because you see

00:56:12.740 these people

00:56:13.340 constantly saying

00:56:15.100 things that

00:56:15.620 it's almost like

00:56:16.680 there's no possible

00:56:17.400 way they could

00:56:17.820 believe them.

00:56:18.740 There's,

00:56:19.040 you know,

00:56:19.740 angry,

00:56:21.120 vicious points

00:56:22.020 that don't make

00:56:22.660 any sense

00:56:23.480 and they defend

00:56:24.180 to the death

00:56:24.920 and it's like

00:56:25.640 if those are

00:56:26.320 the people

00:56:26.900 in the real

00:56:28.120 world,

00:56:28.780 we have no

00:56:29.600 chance.

00:56:30.440 And I think

00:56:30.920 that's a,

00:56:31.260 it's a somewhat

00:56:33.000 emotional response

00:56:34.060 to it in that

00:56:34.760 like I don't,

00:56:35.820 I really hope

00:56:36.680 at least that

00:56:37.260 those aren't

00:56:38.460 really how people

00:56:39.360 are.

00:56:39.920 People are maybe

00:56:40.580 different on the

00:56:41.180 internet and they

00:56:41.680 don't care as much.

00:56:43.000 I don't know what it is.

00:56:43.620 I know Tanya,

00:56:44.160 I know Tanya,

00:56:45.600 if I could use the

00:56:46.640 internet like Tanya

00:56:47.300 does,

00:56:48.040 she's just connected

00:56:48.980 with her family

00:56:49.580 and friends

00:56:50.140 and she,

00:56:52.260 I don't ever really

00:56:53.200 hear her get

00:56:53.780 outraged on the

00:56:54.620 internet.

00:56:54.900 She's always laughing

00:56:55.640 because her friends

00:56:56.440 will always send her,

00:56:57.160 you know,

00:56:57.360 funny cat videos

00:56:58.280 or whatever

00:56:59.260 and so she's always

00:57:00.200 laughing.

00:57:01.420 We will sit

00:57:02.420 next to each

00:57:02.880 other and I'll

00:57:03.460 be reading stuff

00:57:04.160 for work.

00:57:04.720 She'll just be

00:57:05.240 going through

00:57:05.740 Facebook for her

00:57:06.620 friends and stuff.

00:57:07.620 She'll be laughing

00:57:08.260 and I'll be like,

00:57:08.880 oh my gosh,

00:57:09.760 I can't take this

00:57:10.560 anymore.

00:57:11.140 It's a totally

00:57:12.080 different experience.

00:57:13.720 Yeah,

00:57:13.920 I know.

00:57:14.820 I was following

00:57:16.660 the Onion,

00:57:18.400 one of the Onion

00:57:18.840 sites.

00:57:19.360 Yeah.

00:57:19.720 I just started,

00:57:20.540 I added a couple

00:57:21.220 of theirs to my

00:57:22.080 Twitter feed and I

00:57:23.400 realized that that's

00:57:24.040 the only thing that

00:57:24.560 I ever get in there

00:57:25.100 that I really like

00:57:25.660 to laugh at.

00:57:26.820 It's a lot of

00:57:27.480 time just completely

00:57:28.100 nonsensical but I

00:57:29.060 I don't get any

00:57:30.000 of that from the

00:57:30.560 internet.

00:57:31.400 I don't get any of

00:57:32.280 the good things that

00:57:32.880 it's supposed to

00:57:33.360 deliver.

00:57:33.820 We should destroy

00:57:34.600 it.

00:57:34.760 Destroy it.

00:57:35.520 Ban it.

00:57:36.000 Ban it now.

00:57:36.940 I don't like it.

00:57:40.320 Glenn Beck

00:57:41.500 This is the Glenn Beck

00:57:54.040 program.

00:57:54.840 So I see Black

00:57:56.520 Panther over the

00:57:57.620 weekend.

00:57:59.540 Apparently with

00:58:00.260 everyone else in

00:58:00.940 America.

00:58:01.940 Over 200 million

00:58:03.140 dollars it's made

00:58:03.740 already.

00:58:04.200 Really good.

00:58:04.980 Now I sat in the

00:58:06.260 fourth row so I have

00:58:07.380 to go see it again

00:58:08.300 because I haven't

00:58:09.460 seen a movie in the

00:58:10.360 fourth row since I

00:58:11.360 was about eight and

00:58:13.680 I saw it on a big

00:58:15.300 you know.

00:58:16.340 Oh wow.

00:58:16.840 And it was so it

00:58:17.960 was a little distorted

00:58:19.020 it was like I went

00:58:20.380 and I was drunk.

00:58:21.700 It was like I think

00:58:23.220 that somebody just

00:58:24.440 killed somebody.

00:58:25.860 Did you go to a

00:58:27.060 theater with no

00:58:27.580 assigned seating?

00:58:28.320 That's not very

00:58:28.720 Glenn Beckish.

00:58:28.920 No I did.

00:58:29.740 It was the only ones

00:58:30.540 we could find.

00:58:31.280 The only seats we

00:58:31.760 could find.

00:58:33.140 So we went and I

00:58:35.340 really it was

00:58:37.500 strange because let

00:58:39.100 me speak as a white

00:58:39.980 man here.

00:58:41.480 I the one thing

00:58:43.640 that in Stu and I

00:58:44.580 were talking about

00:58:45.200 this.

00:58:47.920 I don't.

00:58:52.040 I guess I don't

00:58:53.620 understand the

00:58:56.700 the idea that there

00:58:59.220 are no black

00:59:00.280 superheroes or

00:59:01.500 anything.

00:59:01.780 I just never

00:59:02.160 noticed it.

00:59:03.220 Yeah that's it's

00:59:03.900 it's our white

00:59:04.760 privilege Glenn.

00:59:05.680 Yeah I know in a

00:59:06.320 weird way that's like

00:59:07.120 a real example of it

00:59:08.320 and that like I

00:59:09.240 honestly when they

00:59:09.860 were like oh the

00:59:10.540 black superhero coming

00:59:11.740 out like I never

00:59:12.740 noticed there weren't

00:59:14.020 any or were there

00:59:14.740 none.

00:59:15.140 I don't know.

00:59:15.820 Will Smith was in a

00:59:16.560 movie except he was a

00:59:17.540 drunk superhero.

00:59:18.680 And that was horrible.

00:59:20.120 I didn't think it was

00:59:20.800 horrible.

00:59:21.200 I thought it was okay.

00:59:22.020 All right.

00:59:22.680 But I'm not a big

00:59:23.880 superhero fan anyway so

00:59:25.320 I'm not in that world

00:59:26.400 where I dissect it like

00:59:27.400 a lot of people do.

00:59:28.260 So it is it is you

00:59:29.940 know the the strength

00:59:31.520 that came from Africa

00:59:33.800 and you know all of

00:59:36.340 this stuff that is is

00:59:38.560 you know is is like

00:59:39.860 Thor you know I'm

00:59:41.240 watching it and I'm

00:59:41.920 like okay this is it's

00:59:43.440 kind of like Thor you

00:59:44.240 know they're there you

00:59:45.520 know the mythological

00:59:46.520 gods that came down

00:59:48.160 and you know okay so I

00:59:50.120 guess the super super

00:59:51.240 white people had Thor

00:59:52.720 and you know African

00:59:55.680 Americans have Black

00:59:56.620 Panther so I guess but

00:59:58.840 I really liked it.

01:00:00.100 I was struck I was

01:00:06.180 struck that it is

01:00:07.260 probably the most

01:00:08.920 healthy movie I have

01:00:10.460 seen in a very very

01:00:13.200 very long time.

01:00:15.840 Healthy?

01:00:16.880 I do.

01:00:17.720 I think it is first of

01:00:19.360 all it it's the story

01:00:21.440 I mean I'm you know

01:00:22.880 this is.

01:00:23.720 Oh no are we going to

01:00:24.420 go into.

01:00:25.060 In case you're not

01:00:27.020 someone who listens

01:00:28.300 you know you're someone

01:00:29.200 who just tuning in for

01:00:29.940 the first time and

01:00:30.800 hearing you're like hey

01:00:31.740 I would like to I want

01:00:32.400 to see Black Panther.

01:00:33.840 No I'm not going to

01:00:34.440 say that I'm not going

01:00:35.360 to know anything.

01:00:36.160 Oh you'll you'll blow

01:00:37.000 something because you

01:00:37.620 always blow something

01:00:38.420 of every movie you talk

01:00:39.480 about.

01:00:40.240 So just this is your

01:00:42.040 warning if you're going

01:00:43.580 to go see it this week

01:00:44.600 and you're worried

01:00:45.140 about spoilers you

01:00:46.420 should you should be

01:00:47.320 boiling you say that

01:00:48.780 every time and every

01:00:49.700 time you say well this

01:00:50.960 doesn't give anything

01:00:51.560 away but obviously the

01:00:52.740 guy dies at the end

01:00:53.580 and well you just wrecked

01:00:56.040 it.

01:00:56.240 I don't even know who

01:00:57.140 the guy is.

01:00:58.040 All right so so here's

01:00:59.260 what I was going to

01:00:59.880 say this is you know

01:01:00.900 the world according to

01:01:01.900 me I think this was a

01:01:03.760 story of Malcolm X and

01:01:04.900 Martin Luther King.

01:01:07.700 Both thought they had

01:01:08.640 really good points.

01:01:09.900 One was right one was

01:01:11.180 wrong one one one

01:01:13.480 didn't but it is it's

01:01:15.540 the same argument of

01:01:18.040 Martin Luther King and

01:01:19.620 and Malcolm X and I

01:01:21.580 thought it was really

01:01:23.180 important if you stay

01:01:26.500 after the trailers or

01:01:28.560 you know stay after

01:01:29.340 the the titles you

01:01:32.040 know ago they always

01:01:32.820 give you a preview of

01:01:33.680 the next movie that is

01:01:35.940 that should be that

01:01:37.080 should be played at the

01:01:37.980 top of the hour of

01:01:39.040 every cable news

01:01:41.060 broadcast on every I

01:01:44.100 mean on on you know

01:01:46.020 the whitey white

01:01:46.860 network and BET should

01:01:48.760 be played in its

01:01:50.620 entirety at the top of

01:01:52.680 every hour until we get

01:01:53.920 it I mean it's it's

01:01:56.380 it's good it's a good

01:01:59.100 message and it's not

01:02:00.760 the message that we're

01:02:01.740 hearing everywhere and

01:02:03.500 suddenly because your

01:02:05.280 description of it make it

01:02:06.400 seem like it's somewhat

01:02:07.420 uniting and yet it's

01:02:09.040 being used as this

01:02:09.860 divisive thing where

01:02:11.080 very united white people

01:02:12.340 are saying I I don't

01:02:14.000 want to root suck the

01:02:15.180 black joy out of the

01:02:16.420 room by going to the

01:02:17.340 movie as a white person

01:02:18.340 white people are as a

01:02:20.380 white person you're going

01:02:21.440 you're going to learn

01:02:22.380 things about black

01:02:25.180 culture I guess that

01:02:26.440 maybe you didn't really

01:02:27.620 see maybe you've heard

01:02:29.440 but you you've done you

01:02:30.420 didn't it just it it

01:02:32.440 it speaks a different

01:02:34.940 language and one that

01:02:36.340 you can understand and

01:02:37.840 you're like hmm I never

01:02:39.460 really I never thought of

01:02:41.200 it that way exactly I

01:02:42.660 never noticed that

01:02:43.860 that's interesting and

01:02:46.440 and it's still but it's

01:02:47.640 not a it's not a message

01:02:48.720 movie right I'm not going

01:02:49.620 to go in there and like

01:02:50.420 I think it is a message

01:02:51.880 movie but it's a message

01:02:52.760 you'll like but it's but

01:02:53.740 also it's a good movie

01:02:55.180 oh yeah it's a great

01:02:56.180 movie good action scenes

01:02:57.600 it's a good it's a good

01:02:59.120 superhero it's great movie

01:03:01.200 the the I mean just the

01:03:03.620 visuals on it are great I

01:03:04.940 think it's even going to

01:03:05.740 change I think it will

01:03:06.880 change clothing I think

01:03:08.820 you will see clothing

01:03:11.220 styles in the African

01:03:12.760 American community change

01:03:14.120 and if not you get that

01:03:16.480 one for free anybody who

01:03:18.260 is in the clothing industry

01:03:19.640 for African American

01:03:20.760 we have a huge textile

01:03:21.720 industry here that

01:03:23.000 listen I'm telling you

01:03:23.900 that the the costuming

01:03:25.680 I think will change

01:03:29.180 fashion I was watching

01:03:32.220 the slam dunk contest

01:03:33.240 which I'm sure you did as

01:03:34.360 well oh my god this

01:03:35.540 weekend but that one of

01:03:37.080 the guys put on a black

01:03:38.640 panther mask for one of

01:03:39.860 his dunks like it's like

01:03:41.000 it's one of those things

01:03:41.640 that's really penetrating

01:03:42.960 beyond it's you know I I

01:03:46.640 I didn't I don't think I

01:03:51.420 really understood it until

01:03:52.640 I went and I was like

01:03:53.820 okay come on there's been

01:03:55.580 black cast before there's

01:03:57.980 been you know now not not

01:04:00.180 like this not like this this

01:04:02.240 is groundbreaking this is a

01:04:04.100 this is a history making

01:04:05.400 movie and because of that it

01:04:08.100 will win every single award

01:04:10.840 um but it is also really

01:04:13.420 good so um let me I'm just

01:04:20.320 thinking if I should let me go

01:04:23.820 to the Olympics for a second

01:04:25.040 oh yeah are you talking

01:04:28.000 sports this is never a good

01:04:29.340 idea I know I know so you're

01:04:31.280 gonna do we're gonna ruin

01:04:31.900 movies and talk sports at the

01:04:33.740 same break I can't take it

01:04:36.460 okay so here's the thing

01:04:38.060 have you ever seen Johnny

01:04:40.500 Weir you know Johnny Weir

01:04:42.420 is you're not watching the

01:04:44.540 Olympics at all I have

01:04:45.760 watched zero minutes of the

01:04:46.900 Olympics so I don't care

01:04:51.740 about Johnny Weir and I

01:04:52.720 don't I don't I don't care

01:04:53.860 about it who is he can you

01:04:54.740 explain he's a Olympic figure

01:04:56.860 skater I guess okay um and

01:04:59.360 they're making a really big

01:05:00.420 deal out of this guy whose

01:05:02.100 politics are uber uber left

01:05:03.900 he's the uh he's the

01:05:06.380 like one of the American

01:05:07.600 skaters this is the guy uh

01:05:10.120 yeah I'm not gonna make my

01:05:11.960 whole thing about Mike Pence

01:05:14.240 and it's like right okay that

01:05:15.820 guy yeah what a jerk he is

01:05:18.400 okay first of all yeah he set

01:05:21.280 himself off there for me and

01:05:22.860 I was like okay I got I know

01:05:24.240 you are then he did an

01:05:26.260 interview after one of his

01:05:27.280 skates uh and uh you know the

01:05:29.800 lady was interviewing him and

01:05:30.920 he said well she said what were

01:05:33.420 you thinking he said that I

01:05:34.500 had to I any very sarcastic

01:05:36.340 that I had to do this

01:05:37.600 interview because you're

01:05:38.460 wearing a necklace that that

01:05:39.940 is a statement piece and she

01:05:42.520 was like uh okay but what

01:05:45.500 were you back to your

01:05:46.380 skating what were you

01:05:47.340 thinking and he said I'm not

01:05:48.540 here to explain witchcraft

01:05:50.020 okay shut up shut up can you

01:05:53.180 be a normal human being for a

01:05:55.300 second right all right you

01:05:57.360 might note that this is your

01:05:58.440 15 minutes of fame that will

01:05:59.760 lead to probably all of your

01:06:01.220 income for the next 30 years

01:06:02.680 while he's skating Johnny Weir

01:06:04.480 is this guy he's very

01:06:06.040 flamboyant and and and and it's

01:06:08.660 not that I don't care I don't

01:06:10.800 care I don't care how he

01:06:11.700 dresses or anything else it's

01:06:13.120 just that nobody is I think

01:06:14.700 allowed to notice he's he's

01:06:17.640 dressed like a woman he looks

01:06:19.440 like a woman he's wearing you

01:06:21.900 know a woman's top and a jacket

01:06:24.660 and the everything and he looks

01:06:27.160 like a woman and my kids walk in

01:06:29.480 and they're like I didn't know

01:06:30.820 who Johnny Weir was dad is that

01:06:32.760 a man or a woman and I said

01:06:35.700 yes I don't know the proper

01:06:38.520 answer is how dare you even

01:06:40.620 notice how dare you so so here's

01:06:43.280 the thing Johnny Weir apparently

01:06:45.120 everybody knows who he is I'm

01:06:46.620 out of touch everybody knows who

01:06:49.280 he is so Johnny Weir has always

01:06:51.440 been this way he's he's very

01:06:54.020 flamboyant when this guy is

01:06:57.580 skating this other guy is

01:06:59.280 skating they're making such a

01:07:01.020 big deal out of him being you

01:07:03.900 know groundbreaker and and he's

01:07:08.140 well they're never saying that

01:07:10.560 he's gay just say he's gay and

01:07:12.980 he's you know out you know and

01:07:15.420 everybody knows he's gay whatever

01:07:16.840 but it's not like we've never

01:07:18.580 had gay skaters before I mean it's

01:07:20.540 like Johnny you skated I mean it's

01:07:23.280 it's and I don't think you were

01:07:25.180 fooling anyone if he were in the

01:07:27.180 closet at the time nobody

01:07:28.640 believed it nobody believed it

01:07:30.400 and I don't know why it is such a

01:07:33.160 big deal now and he was talking

01:07:35.360 about the bravery of him and how is

01:07:38.840 it brave how are you brave if

01:07:41.660 everyone in your in the power

01:07:44.000 circles agree with you endorse you

01:07:47.720 hold you up as a hero that's not

01:07:49.500 bravery Johnny you were brave you

01:07:53.860 were brave you know if you would

01:07:56.580 have come out or you were as

01:07:57.940 flamboyant as you were you were

01:07:59.680 being brave when it wasn't okay to

01:08:03.180 be gay now it's not bravery now it's

01:08:06.020 not bravery just let the man skate

01:08:07.580 let the man skate and not make it

01:08:09.940 about his sexuality right and let's

01:08:11.620 not make his let's not make it about

01:08:13.220 politics or anything just skate

01:08:15.320 let's skate like for example it's not

01:08:17.560 necessarily a brave act to be an

01:08:19.900 african-american baseball player

01:08:21.440 today but man Jackie Robinson was

01:08:23.520 freaking exactly right like exactly

01:08:25.580 right so you're yeah so it's perhaps

01:08:27.280 across that threshold where it will

01:08:31.620 not be brave to make a black

01:08:34.360 superhero movie with an all-black cast

01:08:37.320 and a you know all black behind the

01:08:39.920 scenes that won't be brave in 10

01:08:41.940 years that's not gonna be brave yeah

01:08:43.280 right it is now right yeah it's not

01:08:46.160 then and I just I I I don't know

01:08:50.840 maybe it was just me I I mean I'm

01:08:53.280 still mourning the loss of you know the

01:08:55.700 USSR that we you know I had something

01:08:58.120 to root for now it's like I don't know

01:08:59.920 I mean I guess the Finns are okay I

01:09:02.340 don't know well you have the Olympic

01:09:04.240 athletes from Russia yeah which by the

01:09:05.920 way are not the Russian Olympic team

01:09:07.780 those are just Olympic athletes that

01:09:09.200 happen to come from Russia not the

01:09:11.400 team by the way there's something else

01:09:13.840 I don't understand well I don't

01:09:15.320 understand curling in the first place

01:09:16.820 but the Olympic athletes from Russia

01:09:19.640 were caught using steroids on the

01:09:23.580 curling team now I don't know about

01:09:26.180 anybody else but curling I think could

01:09:29.460 be done with a beer in your hand I don't

01:09:32.460 know why why are you doing steroids you

01:09:36.160 slide that's all it's really all you're

01:09:40.340 doing I I don't again I shouldn't talk

01:09:44.300 sports ever

01:09:44.840 so we have a farm and we we have cows

01:10:04.340 and chickens and everything else and and

01:10:10.200 you need it you need a good truck but

01:10:11.660 you know at least for me I want I want

01:10:14.380 trucks where the doors will fall off

01:10:15.940 eventually not now but eventually I'll

01:10:18.280 drive it until the doors fall off and so

01:10:21.320 I have a couple of old trucks and they're

01:10:22.860 reaching the age now where you know you

01:10:24.960 start to worry things are going to start

01:10:26.400 going wrong the doors might actually fall

01:10:28.480 off and this way I have it excuse me an

01:11:42.680 my daughter was telling me about a store

01:11:58.620 she went into here in the Dallas area over

01:12:03.400 the weekend and they've they've decided to

01:12:07.160 sell only products that are made without

01:12:10.940 slave labor and she was talking to the lady

01:12:13.340 and she said you know the the number one

01:12:16.780 thing that people come in and say what do

01:12:18.100 you mean made by slave labor there are no

01:12:19.880 slaves anymore

01:12:20.540 she said she has to explain to so many

01:12:25.400 people

01:12:25.900 yeah it's a bigger problem than it's ever

01:12:28.880 been there are more slaves today in

01:12:32.200 chains than there than there were in the

01:12:35.520 400 years of the Western slave trade combined

01:12:39.760 yeah combined I mean that's that's that's

01:12:42.580 remarkable on Wednesday we are going to give

01:12:48.060 you a report of some of the things that are

01:12:49.700 being done in the Middle East to slaves

01:12:51.980 regarding our organ harvesting no one is

01:12:54.680 talking about this we have done a study on it

01:12:58.720 and it's it's pretty hair-raising we'll tell you

01:13:01.100 about that and tonight is a three-part special

01:13:06.000 and it is three women that I met in Mexico

01:13:11.060 City that were literally chain around their

01:13:14.260 necks slaves and their stories are just

01:13:18.800 unbelievable but it's the reason why I have

01:13:24.900 them on TV this week is because their story

01:13:29.040 of recovery they are the strongest women I

01:13:32.040 have ever met from slaves to literally

01:13:38.080 Forbes 100 most powerful women in Mexico

01:13:41.120 they're they're remarkable remarkable and

01:13:47.480 to see their story and to I I asked them

01:13:52.960 each to hold up a blank piece of paper at

01:13:56.380 the end and they said they said their name

01:13:59.120 and they said you know my name is so-and-so

01:14:00.900 and I I was a slave but I write my story my

01:14:06.620 life story is a blank page and only I can

01:14:09.820 write it that's a totally different message

01:14:12.820 than what's happening now yeah I mean me

01:14:14.680 too is a message of victimization it's

01:14:16.700 important there's a lot of things that are

01:14:17.860 happening that are really positive out of

01:14:19.380 it but this idea that you know this this

01:14:21.760 terrible thing happened to me too is the

01:14:23.640 opposite message of what these women in

01:14:26.020 Mexico dealt with and all of their stories

01:14:28.540 are far worse than I think anything that

01:14:30.060 we've heard oh at least I mean we're

01:14:32.520 talking torture over a period of years you

01:14:34.940 you you you you will be inspired yeah

01:14:39.120 horrified for a couple of minutes but

01:14:41.380 inspired by these women tonight five o'clock

01:14:45.120 only on the blaze TV Glenn back mercury

01:14:50.160 love courage truth Glenn back this is this

01:15:06.040 is an amazing day we now have few of the

01:15:09.000 details on what could be possibly the

01:15:11.440 largest and most successful intelligence

01:15:13.780 operation aimed against our country in

01:15:16.360 decades and I don't think anybody's really

01:15:19.080 paying attention to it the Mueller

01:15:21.600 investigation is finally delivering now

01:15:24.320 this is what we've been waiting for and

01:15:26.160 quite frankly frankly desperately needing

01:15:28.540 ever since the intelligence community

01:15:30.480 assessment was released to the public over

01:15:32.480 a year ago there's a 37 page indictment it

01:15:36.040 names 13 individual Russians and three

01:15:38.940 Russian businesses the operation involved

01:15:41.660 multiple shell companies in order to mask

01:15:44.320 their actions and hide the funding several

01:15:47.360 hundred employees worked around the clock on

01:15:49.880 shifts on social media shifts and the

01:15:52.640 internet in addition to that several agents

01:15:55.460 were sent to the United States to gather

01:15:57.640 intelligence in some cases political rallies

01:16:00.640 were actually organized and promoted

01:16:02.840 thousands of miles away from offices in

01:16:05.880 St. Petersburg Russia now this could be a

01:16:09.580 galvanizing moment in our country we have

01:16:12.200 been attacked by a hostile country we know

01:16:14.740 the names and the faces and the people that

01:16:16.580 did it but are we gonna let that stop us from

01:16:20.200 bickering of course not the left is saying

01:16:23.500 see Putin loved Trump gave him the election

01:16:25.920 the right will say this proves Trump is innocent

01:16:28.180 fake news fake news fake news and we won't get

01:16:31.580 anywhere first of all let me say this if

01:16:34.560 anybody actually believes 13 Russians swung the

01:16:37.440 election they're delusional if anybody swung the

01:16:40.120 election it's Mueller himself it's a Comey that

01:16:43.520 did it Trump won because he appealed to millions

01:16:47.560 of people who have been ignored for years you can

01:16:50.540 like it or not like it it doesn't matter that's

01:16:52.720 the fact he ran also against the worst candidate

01:16:56.460 in modern history that's why he won to say the

01:17:00.400 Russians love Trump is completely misreading the

01:17:03.440 evidence yes they supported his campaign but

01:17:06.440 they also supported Bernie Sanders and Jill

01:17:08.540 Stein basically they supported anyone other than

01:17:12.180 Hillary they were a-okay with anyone but

01:17:15.260 Hillary the Russians more importantly wanted us

01:17:19.620 to doubt our government doubt our own ears and

01:17:23.300 eyes doubt what we think we knew they want

01:17:26.720 chaos they want us to eat one another if we

01:17:32.300 weren't so polarized and the media wasn't you know

01:17:38.880 the one with a giant fork we would easily see

01:17:43.360 this Friday's indictment was a critical first

01:17:46.760 step in finding out what happened but we as a

01:17:49.280 country now need to work on fixing whatever it is

01:17:52.000 that made this so easy for the Russians to pull

01:17:54.200 off our political blinders must come off both the

01:17:59.240 right and the left we have to come together and

01:18:02.500 heal if we don't we are setting ourselves up for a

01:18:07.260 bigger attack very very soon

01:18:11.160 it's Monday February 19th this is the Glenn Beck

01:18:23.340 program Michelle mom Michelle Myers is a mom of

01:18:28.200 seven she lives in Buckeye Arizona she's a former Texas

01:18:33.800 beauty queen she has never left the United States that's an

01:18:38.800 important fact to remember when we speak to her she has been

01:18:42.280 diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic with a with a couple of

01:18:46.120 diseases one of them is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and that

01:18:52.980 causes her to easily bruise rupture blood vessels painful

01:18:57.920 joints her joints are easily dislocated it's really really

01:19:04.040 painful the other thing she has I had never heard of and I

01:19:11.280 gotta believe for anybody who has been to the doctor over and

01:19:14.760 over and over again they're like well I can't see anything here

01:19:17.580 this has to be really frustrating she has blinding headaches but in

01:19:27.040 three different occasions she has woken up the first time with an Irish accent she

01:19:34.420 had that for a while the second time she had an Australian accent and now she has a

01:19:41.320 British accent I gotta believe people would say she's faking it no she she has a

01:19:51.500 rare disease uh it's the what is it the foreign accent I can't remember foreign

01:19:57.100 accent syndrome I didn't even know it existed and she's here to to tell us about

01:20:03.440 it hello Michelle how are you hello Mr Beck good morning how weird is it for you to

01:20:14.120 to sound as you described like Mary Poppins and you're not trying to

01:20:20.720 no not talk first I want to say thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to speak

01:20:26.640 for people whose voices pun intended are not being heard exactly second the Mary Poppins

01:20:33.240 thing definitely came from everyone who makes me think that I'm from somewhere else but I'm not

01:20:38.240 I'm a very proud American daughter so Michelle how this you literally just wake up and you were

01:20:48.460 Irish how long how long do these spells usually last the very first one was in 2011 and actually a

01:20:58.740 lot of people I really want to make this clear some people think I kind of fell asleep and woke up

01:21:03.800 innocently and you know like Mary Poppins skipped off into the sunset but that's not exactly how it

01:21:08.920 happened I actually have what's called hemophagic migraines which paralyze you down the side can cause

01:21:14.720 blindness in the eye it's also very painful aside from the airless downloads and other things so I laid

01:21:22.580 down because I had a headache I had thrown up I could barely see in my eye so I laid down because when I

01:21:29.000 told my doctor that I didn't feel well he kept telling me I had hormone problems so I

01:21:33.740 didn't go back to see him so the next thing I knew it popped up and it was like I tried to say

01:21:40.200 child's voice all of a sudden this Irish sound came out of my face and I just shocked shocked

01:21:46.320 okay I know there are millions of people in America that have uh you know have diseases and have problems

01:21:58.520 that nobody can diagnose and uh they just feel I mean you get to a point to where you're like look I'd

01:22:06.120 I'd rather have you tell me that I have cancer than uh you got nothing you know because you just like I

01:22:12.460 I'm not making this up man how long did you did the doctors immediately know or did doctors start to say

01:22:20.360 okay okay Michelle I mean I mean yeah did they know automatically what this was because I've never

01:22:28.360 heard of this I never um I a lot a Mayo Clinic and some other people have made reports about it but I

01:22:33.980 never went to the Mayo Clinic some of that's getting reported um okay and it's just because

01:22:38.960 different facilities are commenting on the story so it can kind of get messed up there okay but honestly

01:22:44.060 um I didn't go to the doctor for years because I literally thought I was crazy I thought that

01:22:50.260 something was mentally just wrong with me which is what everyone thinks the other thing is it's not

01:22:56.060 I don't know why it was coined in 1907 by a neurologist with the last name Murray Pierre Murray and

01:23:03.240 he called it for an accent syndrome because what you hear from me sounds kind of sing-songy

01:23:07.820 and it sounds like I'm from somewhere else however it is a speech impediment due to something that

01:23:13.780 traumatic happens to your body so you wouldn't tease someone who has a stutter we would all be in like

01:23:20.460 a tizzy about it but when there's people like me and there are other people like me I know them

01:23:25.260 personally we've met through social media and things and we get thrown under the bus by physicians and

01:23:31.340 doctors and health care people and we asking for help it's not just me I speak for a little

01:23:38.520 microcosm of people who have had this happen so yes my doctors they sent me to a neuropsychologist

01:23:45.820 a psychiatrist you know all that stuff so just just one more question on this and then I'll go a little

01:23:52.940 deeper with you but but um did you uh I mean it is it's it's a consistent accent so it's not like a

01:24:02.700 stutter or slurred speech or anything it I mean it's consistent accent uh and before it was Irish

01:24:09.020 and then Australian did it was there any influence in your life that put that or is it just really

01:24:16.560 mechanical no it truly I've had people even contact me and say Michelle your DNA has memory in cells so

01:24:24.960 perhaps what's happened is some type of reset some divine reset has happened there's also been some

01:24:29.920 weird people that are like I see a dead English woman wrapped up in your body

01:24:33.160 none of that none of that except some guy actually contacted the news here and they

01:24:39.040 let me know he wants to do an exorcist on me because he saw some dead lady from Britain I'm like no

01:24:44.020 Jesus took care of that I don't have that um it's frustrating because people think that it is

01:24:50.880 consistent but people in the SAS community we have a little community um our accents will sometimes be

01:24:58.240 thicker and sometimes be less of thick and sometimes it depends on if we have migraines headaches or

01:25:03.980 another stroke um some traumatic thing that happens to your brain in any way neurologically at all

01:25:09.320 it can change it can change sounds it as well can change intensity as well can this just go away on you

01:25:16.480 can you can you I haven't had mine I haven't had mine leave in three years the uh the first one the

01:25:25.040 Irish one lasted eight days and then the next one lasted for just barely like an afternoon and then

01:25:31.500 in 2015 on May in May it's been three years it'll be May three three years in May it's fascinating

01:25:39.660 because I mean because you have a it's very consistent yeah and but you'd have to have the

01:25:45.880 knowledge of the accent right like people who grow up with an English accent because they're hearing it

01:25:51.680 constantly and obviously you've heard English accents in your life but to to to be able to

01:25:56.060 apply it to every word you're trying to say all the time how do doctors explain three years yeah how

01:26:02.080 do they how do doctors explain that well that's the thing that's why we do need more people to

01:26:07.460 research and we if you think about it globally if there's around a hundred people in all the billions

01:26:12.680 of people that we have and that's just reported because I know many people that they haven't reported

01:26:17.200 anything for seven years I've gone through people blaming it on my hormones or blaming it on I need

01:26:23.240 anxiety medication all these other things but there was a catalyst there's always a catalyst people all

01:26:31.060 of us report there was a brain trauma of some sort even if it was even the lady with the dental surgery

01:26:36.440 she actually had you know a drug that altered her mind put her out so everything has catalyst if no one

01:26:42.580 has a story that like they want to think like I was am I allowed to mention other news media outlets

01:26:47.920 yeah yeah yeah that's fine yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah well a lot of my a lot of my friends and I were

01:26:53.120 actually quite offended because on the live with Kelly and Ryan show they got a hold of my story I did

01:26:58.700 not talk to them so I guess they decided to read it on their morning show they literally Kelly ended up

01:27:05.080 saying she would like to throw herself down the stairs in order to sound like me and Ryan said oh that's

01:27:10.620 kind of like Madonna and other people and they live someplace they have that accent that is that

01:27:16.440 that's greatly offensive we have to struggle so hard there are people who lose their jobs because

01:27:22.300 their voice is switched so much these people have families they have children they have lives they'd

01:27:27.440 like to leave but you got to get we have the accent why because we have neurological issues that

01:27:32.500 are going on and no one can really explain them I mean it's really it was very hard I will tell you

01:27:37.700 this Michelle I mean um you know the the the British accent does I mean there's worse accents

01:27:44.080 to have uh and you know so it's it's if if you're looking at it from the outside and you're like oh if

01:27:50.580 I could pick an accent people will think I'm smarter and everything else um however what we you know if

01:27:58.380 you joke like that what you don't uh recognize is this isn't your choice and I I read something from

01:28:05.720 you you said that you you watch videos uh of you with your kids and it's difficult can you explain

01:28:13.000 that you know I am a believer in the Lord and when I was 13 years old the Lord told me about my first

01:28:20.880 daughter that would be born I wrote it in a little journal like a little girl does and when I got older

01:28:25.940 I had that child and she is now 22 years old but all of my children he told me their names

01:28:31.600 and particularly I have twin boys that are 14 now I named them Tyler and Tyson I can no longer say

01:28:38.480 that are on the end of the name and while everyone would be like that's such a silly thing to be upset

01:28:44.240 about I named him because his name that meant builder like the Lord he has this build thing in him

01:28:51.600 and so for me speaking destiny over my son it was very important to name him what I felt God told me to

01:28:57.180 name him in prayer so now when I can't simply pronounce this some of the children's names when

01:29:02.280 I say them they don't sound like my heart said them while they were in my womb and so there's a

01:29:07.320 little bit of a grief there because I did not choose for this to happen to me I'm also a survivor of

01:29:12.340 sexual assault it while it's not as drastic and as violent in that manner it was taken from me and

01:29:19.860 that's what people lose about this whole thing there's so many thousands of jokes on the internet and

01:29:24.260 terrible things going on I didn't do this on purpose no one did

01:29:28.220 Michelle I I'm I'm thrilled to talk to you and uh and to get your perspective on this I hear that

01:29:38.060 you and your husband are are fans of the show and listen to the show and and uh oh good lord no I

01:29:43.360 don't have a husband oh you don't have a nasty rumor oh really I thought wow um okay well then

01:29:50.220 you're available and uh uh people are lying to us apparently my brother oh your brother your

01:29:56.580 brother your brother okay and he's listened to me for so many years he's like running around here

01:30:02.080 like a little he has a man cross or something well my younger brother he'll probably kill me

01:30:08.180 well well thank you so much and I I can't imagine and we'd love to hear from you again if if it uh if

01:30:15.000 it goes away we'd love to hear from you and if anybody happens to be listening and and has this

01:30:20.480 do you do you have a way for people to contact you well there are some different groups that people

01:30:26.620 have sprung up one way to contact me obviously is just through website you can go to butterfly25.com

01:30:32.700 it's really easy and I try to lead people in the right direction I thank you for helping me give a

01:30:37.700 voice to it but it's really about chronic illness and invisible illnesses there's so many I know so

01:30:43.420 we just thank you for this opportunity to talk about it but thank you so much Michelle thank you

01:30:48.540 so much God bless you okay thank you so much God bless you too pal you bet all right

01:30:52.100 I'm just happy she was mad at Kelly and Ryan it's like the first time we've ever had one of these

01:31:03.680 things that we weren't the ones we were mad at I know when she said that I was like what did we said

01:31:07.600 what did we say all right anyway uh there's one thing that you really need to understand right now we

01:31:11.940 are more vulnerable to disaster than ever before if you look at the federal government as the first

01:31:17.240 responder FEMA in December admitted failure they said FEMA is broke and broken and Americans need to

01:31:25.680 prepare for the next disaster because we will not be able to provide that was pretty shocking they said

01:31:32.680 it right before Christmas so nobody paid attention here's what I need you to do I need you to be

01:31:37.820 prepared two-week emergency food supply is only now $67 that's breakfast lunch and dinner for one

01:31:45.400 for two weeks for $67 that's incredible and it's a $50 savings so two weeks emergency food for breakfast

01:31:55.360 lunch and dinner one person $67 you save 50 bucks you can order more than one obviously but this is the

01:32:02.680 easy way to at least have something that's grab and go so god forbid something happens you're not

01:32:08.700 having to worry about where do we have the money to even eat prepare with glenn.com go there now

01:32:13.940 prepare with glenn.com this is only uh happening this week two weeks for $67 prepare with glenn.com

01:32:21.360 800-977-0542 prepare with glenn.com

01:32:25.740 glenn back mercury

01:32:29.840 glenn back

01:32:35.380 uh

01:32:36.880 sarah do we have the uh the audio and video of

01:32:41.680 of uh michelle myers

01:32:43.500 uh her brother took a

01:32:46.120 a videotape go ahead and roll a little bit of this this is her

01:32:49.500 this is her okay this is her uh in the hospital

01:33:01.060 uh it causes extraordinary pain imagine that

01:33:10.660 i just can't imagine that and

01:33:15.060 you know sometimes the reason why she wanted to come on

01:33:19.460 uh is because she wanted to talk about people with undiagnosed

01:33:24.200 you know uh diseases and people who are going from doctor to doctor

01:33:28.620 and they can't find out what is wrong with them

01:33:31.480 and um

01:33:33.720 and i will tell you i i i have a video similar not that intense similar to that

01:33:40.160 from when i was under with anesthesia my wife took a video of it my doctor was

01:33:46.640 like okay well yeah all right okay you got you know this and that and you know

01:33:50.560 not knowing what it was i'm going in for some surgery for something else

01:33:55.200 and under anesthesia i start to come out and it just the pain shoots off the off

01:34:02.320 the charts that i normally have not from surgery

01:34:04.940 and um and i like finally came conscious and he was and all the nurses were holding

01:34:11.580 me down and everything else and i'm like okay

01:34:13.320 he said uh okay i believe you uh and my wife captured it on video and so we

01:34:22.680 could take it to other doctors because they think that you're faking it

01:34:26.540 and you know the only way i can prove it is now with that video going look

01:34:31.020 there's i'm not conscious there's no way i did that this is what happens to me

01:34:36.200 um and it's horrible because you go from doctor to doctor and they

01:34:40.980 they just don't know and she wanted to come on because if you're in that

01:34:46.120 situation and i wanted to have her on for this

01:34:48.200 don't give up don't give up it's you know the doctors only know what doctors

01:34:55.300 know and there is hope back in a minute

01:34:59.940 glenn beck mercury

01:35:07.700 this is the glenn beck program well welcome pat gray into the studio who does

01:35:18.200 thank you pat gray unleashed in about a half hour on the blaze

01:35:21.100 could we just get something clear yeah it's not about democrats and republicans

01:35:25.080 it's it's this is a non-partisan issue i didn't okay it is a non-partisan issue it's

01:35:33.460 not about democrats or republicans okay it's it's not about uh uh left and right

01:35:41.000 uh-huh it's about right and wrong this is about stopping this this is about

01:35:46.840 doings can we finally do something can we do something to finally stop the slaughter can we

01:35:53.700 do something would you say the sense needed to do something is common common sense is a really

01:36:00.360 that's a great phrase thank you may i just point out the last time there was a big tragedy that we

01:36:06.060 just did something we went to war yeah and yeah and it seems like people weren't that happy about it

01:36:12.880 yeah 17 years later that might have we might have wanted to spend a few more minutes on that

01:36:17.640 i'm just saying it i i'm a little concerned about this because this involves

01:36:24.300 kids marching on on washington now next month i guess oh yeah

01:36:28.740 uh oh it's gonna be huge that's gonna be huge and you've got these parkland kids out there who

01:36:33.920 are 16 years old and they know right they know better than the the adults i just saw an interview

01:36:38.840 where the adults are screwing things up the adults can't get this done oh okay yeah let's listen to the

01:36:44.240 teenagers with all their life experience let's let's do that now that's a brilliant idea it's not

01:36:49.160 usually a it's not a good way to solve a problem any any problem little on this one if i may quote

01:36:56.480 al gore and the progressives there are things our kids know that your parents just don't know

01:37:03.480 oh and that's going to be encouraged oh yeah uh i i will tell you this i had a conversation with my

01:37:08.300 family this uh this weekend it's not unusual for me to say these things but i said uh kids i think

01:37:14.620 we're on the verge of of losing the second amendment it may mean it may mean civil war i'm not sure

01:37:25.300 what it means glenn we all love the second amendment i hate nobody likes the second amendment

01:37:32.880 more than i do really but but but what we've got to do some things too well there's nobody that

01:37:39.240 there's nobody that understands and loves rights more than me the bill of rights and the second

01:37:44.700 amendment but but there are some rights that we may have to lose well yeah there there are restrictions

01:37:51.260 on all of these rights none of them none of these rights are infinite none of these rights are all

01:37:56.820 inclusive for example the second amendment is sure it's about uh bearing arms but you know what's to

01:38:02.000 say if we had a little bit of a restriction in which you could not bear arms any longer right what if

01:38:07.200 something like that was yeah right something what if what if i know the phrase is shall not be

01:38:12.320 infringed but what if we just infringe a little bit right well yeah what if we just take the word not

01:38:16.380 out it shall be infringed and it works perfectly hang on just a second let's find some common ground

01:38:21.300 here i i am i am willing and i think it's sane and common sense to say and i don't know the

01:38:32.560 ramifications but to say this let's have a serious conversation about a way to have a a restraining order

01:38:42.700 on guns or a uh or you are you are you know the doctors are concerned about you with guns to make

01:38:53.200 sure that that's reported so you can't have access to guns at least for a while that goes through a

01:38:59.720 court process goes through a court process something that something that is clearly put out so like if

01:39:06.560 you've got uh mental illness yes then we go through a doctor and but how does that affect the family

01:39:12.440 members with guns in your house right that's because i mean i don't know that's why i say

01:39:15.960 that's why i said we we have to i know we have to have that discussion right there's a lot there to

01:39:22.840 to be hashed out there is and i think they were talking about this i think california has something

01:39:27.420 like this david french had written a column about this recently saying that that's something maybe

01:39:31.680 conservatives could get on board with which is just a like just like you'd have like a i mean and

01:39:36.120 look there's always opportunity for abuse with these things yeah something you have to acknowledge but

01:39:39.560 like just like you'd have a restraining order against an abusive husband who's not convicted

01:39:44.060 necessarily of the crime yet but there's a scare so there's a temporary restraining order to keep

01:39:49.160 that person away from you same thing if you start push posting internet you know uh youtube comments

01:39:54.380 that saying i'm going to be a school shooter maybe there would be at least a temporary way to act on

01:39:59.640 that because right now you know unless you do something unless you're convicted of a crime it's not

01:40:04.740 going to go away so i can understand that makes me very nervous though i will say i mean

01:40:09.000 the slippery slope is there they had the guy's name they had his statement yeah they couldn't

01:40:13.360 find him and then they called no no no no they they they had two times they couldn't find him once

01:40:18.280 but then they got a tip from somebody who this broke after the show on friday oh the guy got a tip

01:40:23.880 they got a tip from someone in florida who said i know this person here is his name he has these guns

01:40:30.060 and they still didn't he is oh my gosh uh he is uh i think he's gonna shoot up yeah and what the issue

01:40:35.320 was and and the fbi admitted this we didn't follow protocol it should have been forwarded to the

01:40:40.820 miami bureau what are you supposed to do then i mean so you had the power to follow up on a guy and

01:40:45.300 you didn't do it so here's the here's the problem wow if they would have followed protocol they would

01:40:49.560 have had this guy if they would have followed protocol in the air force we would have had the

01:40:54.380 texas shooter yes you know i mean if you just follow protocol how how many of these things are taken

01:41:01.780 off and if you're not going to follow protocol what does it matter if you ban guns it doesn't

01:41:06.020 matter yeah it doesn't matter and talking about improved background checks i'm not sure what that

01:41:10.520 means but i don't mind if you improve the background check depending on on what that entails and if

01:41:17.680 you're talking about you got to wait two weeks or or seven weeks or six months or something then

01:41:22.620 that's a problem and it seems like to it would have a further further reaching right like they would

01:41:27.240 look into more records and find more people that were not qualified and then you're into the

01:41:31.400 hipaa laws which yeah came from hillary clinton so you talk to her about that um you can't really

01:41:37.880 release these records to people right i mean it's against the law there should be a tripwire that

01:41:43.300 somebody is dangerous you know if a doctor is going you're going through therapy and they're like

01:41:49.300 he should not be around guns uh then you know that should be put on with a time you know variant

01:41:56.840 somebody has to take it off you know that it alerts the doctor at some point every three months

01:42:02.480 or something so he has to continue to renew it or it falls off but there there should be something

01:42:08.560 there that if uh if you're under psychiatric care that it is reported yeah this entire strategy though

01:42:17.460 from the left when it comes to these incidents because they're not trying to solve any of these

01:42:21.160 other problems they're only going after guns why because that's their goal it has nothing to do

01:42:26.360 i don't think with the victims it has to do with them going after this and i think like their strategy

01:42:31.160 is wait for the tides of emotion to eventually solve this problem for them and that's what's

01:42:39.080 happening now yeah i mean it is solving these kids is a good example of it like they're using these

01:42:43.120 kids to try to make the rest of the country emotional to so they start believing whatever the left

01:42:48.640 believed so the fbi pulled in four kids on what was it friday brought in four kids uh one was a

01:42:58.100 teenager i think from washington state his grandmother had uh read his diary where he was

01:43:04.080 making a list yeah we talked about that yeah um and so they they they they arrested four kids

01:43:09.300 on i think thursday night or friday after the shooting uh and uh all this is going to take is

01:43:17.800 you know one or two really bad shootings and i just don't think you're gonna it spirals it's out

01:43:24.240 of control out of control let me this is an interesting because i thought about this this is

01:43:28.480 a real fear point if you actually care about the second amendment think about this the changes that

01:43:33.540 have happened on our political divides here you know things like you know people both sides have

01:43:38.780 switched on who likes russia and who doesn't right daca was a thing that you could not even think

01:43:44.260 about endorsing just a few years ago or a few months ago as a conservative and now it's the

01:43:48.360 position of the party right these things happen fast and i think a lot of times these big political

01:43:54.080 positions that look like their principles gay marriage for the for the democrats you know

01:43:59.300 hillary clinton got on stage and said it's a foundational moral principle of mine that

01:44:03.380 marriage is between a man and a woman and then it's not right all of a sudden they're fighting

01:44:07.260 completely on the other side of that because of the winds of change because of the winds of change and

01:44:11.960 this is one of those things that one of the reasons for that is a just the generic political

01:44:17.980 partisanship right where people just pick their sides and they fight against each other and b

01:44:22.060 except not in this case too because this isn't about this is not about republican and democrat and the

01:44:27.180 other side is just what side is the winning argument where do you find the win here and with enough

01:44:32.580 emotion and enough polling the win here will be on the side of take guns away well that's what

01:44:39.900 happened in australia yeah and that's because it wasn't enshrined as a constitutional right

01:44:45.320 here it stopped them so far but i don't think it's gonna last so did anyone else have this uh

01:44:52.760 conversation because you would never get it through as to repeal the the amendment you'd never get it

01:44:57.940 through because it would take too long it's too long of a process everything is made to slow things

01:45:03.320 down so i just i mean but they did prohibition so before i just they understand how most americans feel

01:45:09.800 about the second amendment and the constitution they know that that's not a winning strategy that's

01:45:14.560 why everybody starts it out with i love the second amendment as much as the next guy but

01:45:19.000 yeah but i mean go that so i mean if they can take the second amendment out uh and and do it

01:45:25.740 constitutionally we're in a whole different world we're in a whole different world you'll start to lose

01:45:31.100 all kinds of rights um um however did anybody else think this weekend gosh what do i do they come

01:45:38.980 knocking at your door for guns what do you do because i'm i'm not going to shoot people no i'm

01:45:46.660 not but i'm but i'm not going to give them up i don't know what i don't know where that leaves you

01:45:51.740 and jail and which yeah i think it does and then and then and then what i mean how how many people

01:45:58.880 would go to jail you know it's kind of like oh you know i'm i'm small government you know low taxes i'm

01:46:06.040 conservative constitutionalist yeah right well let's look at the last few elections um you know

01:46:12.500 how many people really are going to stand totally committed totally committed to the constitution

01:46:19.320 who aren't nut jobs who aren't like our revolution you know what i mean and no one seems to care about

01:46:26.900 it i think so far traditionally it's been a republican position to defend the second amendment

01:46:31.440 but when it's not which could happen as we have to acknowledge today minute this could happen at

01:46:37.800 any minute that republicans become the anti-gun party at any minute so i mean because there's not

01:46:42.760 a principle there as we've seen that's not what it's about so at some point that could switch and

01:46:48.140 that is i mean then you're going to lose these rights because i i think you're right repealing the

01:46:52.600 second amendment would be insanely difficult i wonder though how difficult it would be for them to pass

01:46:58.220 essentially another amendment to modify the second amendment if they went after certain parts of gun

01:47:06.000 ownership it'd start taking a long time but i bet i bet you it would have the overwhelming support in

01:47:10.420 the polls i bet you they could go after it and have a a good because i think the issue with the second

01:47:15.220 amendment now is even if they pass one of these laws with the court the way it's made up there's a

01:47:19.580 good chance it gets overturned anyway as unconstitutional but the path of least resistance

01:47:23.700 is the continuation of we've got to do something we've got to do common sense reform and that's

01:47:29.640 how they and the using and the using of children and the march oh my gosh imagine if high school

01:47:36.920 students would have organized themselves to march against you know uh the debt under obama uh which

01:47:44.560 affects them enough of this debt if if that would have been organized at all at all

01:47:50.800 no i mean and by whatever level it was organized turned into what we'd say the tea party that won

01:47:56.280 use two landslide elections right i know that but think of this remember what they said they're using

01:48:01.560 their children they're they're abusing their children with it that what about this what about this

01:48:09.720 are those kids going to bust themselves there are they organizing this or are there other parties that

01:48:15.360 are going to be helping organize that you can guarantee oh michael bloomberg's oh yeah organization

01:48:21.880 oh yeah you know they're pumping yeah the millions into this yeah i'm sure we're going to be spending

01:48:26.040 some time talking about this uh tonight at 5 30 on the news and why it matters i don't think there's
