A report from the Office of the Inspector General finds no evidence of political bias in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Glenn and Jason discuss the report and explain why it is so difficult to prove political bias and why the FBI should have found no bias at all.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:08.300 All right, no political bias.
00:00:11.420 That's the catchphrase you're going to hear everywhere.
00:00:13.460 No political bias.
00:00:15.960 The officer, the office of the inspector general found no evidence that there was any political
00:00:20.900 bias that played any role, either with former director Comey or the other FBI agents during
00:00:26.680 the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
00:00:29.080 So it's all good now.
00:00:31.220 Carry on.
00:00:31.800 Nothing to see here.
00:00:32.880 No, no, no, no.
00:00:34.760 Hold on.
00:00:36.460 There are a few highlights of the 568 page report that probably are worth a discussion.
00:00:43.620 The report makes it really, really clear that there is no evidence of political bias influencing
00:00:50.020 this investigation.
00:00:52.560 So why did they take 568 pages to make that point?
00:00:57.040 Because it's really, it's really not hard.
00:01:01.380 If there's nothing going on, why have almost 600 pages that say, oh, yeah, there was nothing
00:01:07.720 going on?
00:01:09.260 Well, if you read this, I think what they want us to understand is how difficult it is to
00:01:15.960 prove political bias.
00:01:17.500 I think the inspector general wants us to read this report in its entirety and read between
00:01:24.680 the lines.
00:01:25.340 And here are a few of the highlights.
00:01:27.960 The first and foremost, the the report straight out eviscerates James Comey.
00:01:36.280 Now, one of the most controversial decisions President Trump has made so far has been his decision
00:01:43.260 to fire the former FBI director.
00:01:45.880 Now, let's imagine just for a second that Trump never did that.
00:01:51.480 And Comey was still sitting in his desk at the Hoover building yesterday.
00:01:54.600 I can almost guarantee you that after the release of this report yesterday, Comey would have
00:02:01.100 been fired by this morning.
00:02:03.320 Now, here are just a few of the quotes that the IG uses to explain his behavior.
00:02:09.940 Extraordinary and insubordinate.
00:02:13.320 Not reasonable.
00:02:15.740 Engaged in and ad hoc decision making.
00:02:19.620 Serious errors of judgment.
00:02:21.580 It goes on and on and on and on.
00:02:25.740 This report destroys Comey's behavior.
00:02:29.940 There is no way that if Trump hadn't have fired him, he could have remained FBI director.
00:02:36.620 Now, the report also goes on to analyze the behavior of several FBI agents that were involved
00:02:42.140 in the Clinton administration.
00:02:44.040 There was Strzok and Page.
00:02:45.960 But two of the five employees that showed questionable behavior, either through text messages or instant
00:02:53.720 messaging, if you read the text and the transcripts, it's pretty damning.
00:02:59.740 In Strzok's case, his bias could have caused a delay in analyzing the contents of Anthony Weiner's
00:03:06.900 laptop.
00:03:07.640 And I want to explain this later, but let me just emphasize it could have.
00:03:12.700 But as the OIG alludes, political bias is really hard to prove.
00:03:19.720 Now, another agent that had been caught saying questionable things and instant messaging was
00:03:24.660 actually one of the agents that conducted the Hillary Clinton interview.
00:03:29.040 In that interview, the OIG seems to acknowledge that the FBI caught Hillary in a lie.
00:03:37.140 And still let her go.
00:03:40.020 No political bias.
00:03:41.560 Why?
00:03:42.680 Because it's hard to prove.
00:03:45.940 That story is fascinating.
00:03:49.620 So if you read this, do you see a theme here?
00:03:54.000 The Hillary train just keeps on rolling.
00:03:57.000 She's going to escape a courtroom for the 14,000th time.
00:04:00.980 But as is the common theme for the entire Clinton family, it is those around them that suffer
00:04:07.600 the most.
00:04:08.120 The FBI has been tarnished.
00:04:11.160 People have lost their jobs.
00:04:13.840 Agents have been humiliated.
00:04:16.300 And all of this for an arrogant and corrupt politician.
00:04:20.620 It's Friday, June 15th.
00:04:26.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:04:28.260 We have Jason Patrillion, who is our head researcher and head writer for the program.
00:04:38.940 And Jason is former military intelligence.
00:04:42.280 And we had him read the report.
00:04:44.900 You didn't get it to all 560-some pages.
00:04:48.660 But you did read about 300 pages solidly.
00:04:51.880 And the rest you kind of glanced through.
00:04:53.480 I quit because I was going blind.
00:04:55.560 Yeah.
00:04:56.140 I know.
00:04:56.800 Is this unusual for a report to be this long?
00:05:01.200 Yeah.
00:05:01.680 I mean, some of the others that we've read from the IG have been, what, like 10, 20 pages,
00:05:07.740 something like that.
00:05:08.540 I mean, this was insane.
00:05:09.540 This was like approaching 600.
00:05:12.300 And the scope of it was like what will really make your eyeballs fall out of your head.
00:05:16.500 Because it's supposed to just be centering around the Hillary Clinton investigation.
00:05:20.860 But they talk Russia investigation a little bit in this, just briefly, to describe some
00:05:25.040 of their actions.
00:05:25.540 We can get that in a second.
00:05:26.700 But then they also talk about leakers.
00:05:29.000 This is the craziness and the, I guess, the incompetence and just some of the weirdness
00:05:36.460 that was going on in the FBI was all pretty much brought to the surface in this investigation.
00:05:40.400 And that's kind of, I think, why it was so long.
00:05:42.480 So, Jason, tell me about the part where they catch Hillary Clinton in a lie.
00:05:48.520 Because it's interesting, the conversations they have before she's interviewed.
00:05:54.060 Right.
00:05:54.420 So, there was about five, I think, exactly five people that the IG fingered as these people
00:06:02.560 either sent biased text messages or using an instant messaging service that was like,
00:06:08.260 you know, organic to the FBI.
00:06:09.620 They used to speak from agent to agent.
00:06:10.880 And this specific one had to do with the instant messaging service.
00:06:14.640 But one of the agent who was described as agent one was sending some pretty biased stuff,
00:06:21.400 talking about how this is stupid, this is pointless, we've already made up our mind,
00:06:26.240 that type of stuff.
00:06:27.020 That's almost a direct quote.
00:06:28.580 Nothing's going to come out of this.
00:06:31.160 You know, I mean, maybe I could give him a pass if he's working on, you know, organized
00:06:35.140 crime division or behavioral science.
00:06:36.840 But no, he was the guy that was supposed to interview Hillary Clinton.
00:06:41.080 Now, a little bit more background on this.
00:06:42.660 Comey said in his interview, in this report, they said, look, we had, we, yeah, this is
00:06:46.940 pretty much true.
00:06:47.680 We had already made up our mind.
00:06:49.260 She, there was no way that we were going to press for an indictment on this.
00:06:53.540 So she was off the hook.
00:06:55.100 The only thing that would make her, the only thing that would make it to where we would
00:07:00.980 do anything and indict was if we could prove her, prove that she was lying, that she had
00:07:04.180 told a lie in this.
00:07:06.220 Now, in this interview, the same guy that showed bias, he asked her a question.
00:07:10.840 He said, you know, did you ever know that classification mark, that these were classified?
00:07:14.700 And she goes, no, didn't know it.
00:07:16.560 So he pushed back.
00:07:17.380 Like, and basically the OIG, you know, admitted he had to push back because the prosecutors
00:07:21.920 were standing over his shoulder and they would have dinged him if he wouldn't have.
00:07:24.700 So he slides an email across the table to her and says, what's this?
00:07:28.660 On this email is in parentheses a C.
00:07:31.640 It's very obvious what that C is.
00:07:33.680 If you have ever looked at a classified document, you know what that C stands for.
00:07:37.100 It stands for confidential.
00:07:38.720 Hillary Clinton has been looking at these things since the early 90s.
00:07:42.620 She knows exactly what this was.
00:07:44.840 Her response to that was, I had no idea what that was.
00:07:48.480 I thought maybe, you know, these paragraphs were just organized in alphabetical order and
00:07:52.220 this is paragraph C.
00:07:53.720 It was the most ridiculous and hilarious response.
00:07:56.520 And the FBI agent who had been caught for bias and messaging acknowledged that.
00:08:01.640 He was like, I can't remember the direct quote, but he was like, I filed that in my brain
00:08:06.040 as, you know, one of the biggest, you know, bullcrap statements or something like that.
00:08:09.460 So they caught her in a lie.
00:08:11.040 They caught her in an important lie.
00:08:13.140 The lie that probably would have meant that they said, okay, we can't now say that she
00:08:17.800 didn't have the intent.
00:08:19.360 This goes to prove intent.
00:08:21.480 But what did they do?
00:08:22.620 Not a thing.
00:08:23.860 They let her go.
00:08:25.360 Just insane.
00:08:26.220 So at the end of this, the OIG was like, okay, so again, to reiterate, we can't prove bias,
00:08:33.720 but it's incredibly hard to prove bias, more or less.
00:08:36.800 Well, that's particularly interesting in the context of the Mueller investigation, which
00:08:42.680 we, of what we know so far, right?
00:08:44.820 The indictments of people like Papadopoulos who, and even Flynn, people who were, you know,
00:08:51.480 getting in trouble because, solely because they lied to the FBI.
00:08:58.460 I mean, that's what they got convicted for.
00:09:00.680 And so it's interesting in that that's all she did, right?
00:09:03.080 She just lied to the FBI.
00:09:04.720 Now, maybe that's not a provable lie.
00:09:06.480 I guess you'd have to have evidence of her knowing.
00:09:09.120 But I mean, everybody on earth knows that Hillary Clinton knows what a classified...
00:09:13.060 She's the Secretary of Freaking State, let alone in the 90s.
00:09:16.080 I mean, when she obviously got, you know, had some, you know, parallel sort of information
00:09:21.420 here that she may have stumbled upon.
00:09:23.860 But she was the Secretary of State and a U.S. Senator.
00:09:26.260 Of course she knows this.
00:09:27.140 So that's kind of interesting in context of maybe they're, this is a good point for
00:09:34.540 the Trump people who are saying, like, look, they're not being fair in the Mueller investigation.
00:09:39.320 If you apply the same standard that they're applied to Papadopoulos, right, you probably
00:09:43.640 have to do something to her.
00:09:45.800 Yeah.
00:09:46.460 No, absolutely.
00:09:48.040 So here is, you know, what you kind of walk away with.
00:09:52.880 The Clintons have been doing this for a very long time, and they know how to pull these
00:10:01.160 heists.
00:10:01.880 They know how to stay away from trouble.
00:10:06.060 The it is.
00:10:09.840 It's hard to prove bias, but it's also hard not to see it and recognize it.
00:10:18.220 But to prove it in a court of law is different.
00:10:21.340 This is exactly why the founders said, we have to, even if we think that they're being
00:10:27.300 malicious and they're making things up, we have to stand by people's right for free speech
00:10:34.420 and a free press, because there are many things that you cannot prove.
00:10:41.100 This is one of them.
00:10:42.600 If we didn't have freedom of the press, assuming they did their job, if we didn't have freedom
00:10:48.240 of the press, I couldn't get on the radio today and say, this is clearly bias.
00:10:54.660 This is clearly corrupt because the government could then hold me responsible for saying that
00:11:01.860 when they just had an IG report that said there is no political bias.
00:11:06.440 Well, no, no, we're reading between the lines.
00:11:12.320 You're saying legally you can't prove it, but you're also sending the message.
00:11:18.600 I mean, it's hard to come up with any other thing other than political bias.
00:11:24.780 We're going to see.
00:11:25.580 I think at least I think there's multiple OIG investigations that are going to come off of
00:11:31.180 this.
00:11:31.420 They acknowledged one when they talked about they were looking at all the different leakers
00:11:36.080 that were involved here, and they were basically said that like there's so many leakers in the
00:11:40.040 FBI that we've started another investigation because we it's just it's just a it's just a
00:11:44.480 you know, it's it's a huge deal within the bureau.
00:11:47.060 And they said that they they identified numerous agents across multiple different areas within
00:11:52.060 the bureau that had personal relationships with reporters that they had received gifts.
00:11:57.180 This is disturbing.
00:11:57.900 This is insane.
00:11:58.740 Like they received sporting tickets, golf outings, high high priced meals, invitations to
00:12:05.600 non-public social events.
00:12:08.540 I mean, we haven't heard the last of this.
00:12:11.320 This one might be a 800 page OIG report that I'm probably going to end up having to read.
00:12:18.380 Remember, though, what's interesting is if if you remember what we went through with the
00:12:24.580 Secret Service under Obama, it was shown to be completely out of control and corrupt.
00:12:32.720 I don't think we ever really fix that.
00:12:34.740 Did we do we ever really fix that?
00:12:37.200 Was there ever really a hard tree shaking of the Secret Service?
00:12:42.240 Not that we heard of.
00:12:43.200 Yeah.
00:12:43.420 Not that I know of.
00:12:44.340 And and and now we're seeing this infection in the FBI, which you can't have that in a
00:12:53.100 you know, in a in a police organization.
00:12:55.340 You have to we must clean this up.
00:12:59.120 Right.
00:12:59.520 And these are people, right?
00:13:00.900 They're people that are flawed and people that can learn lessons.
00:13:04.060 Right.
00:13:04.420 It's not just that you don't want that in the FBI.
00:13:06.560 You don't want it anywhere.
00:13:07.520 And here's a great example.
00:13:08.700 A great lesson is spoken here.
00:13:11.300 Peter Strzok hates Donald Trump.
00:13:13.500 He's against him the entire time.
00:13:14.960 He's the lead investigator in these two in these cases.
00:13:17.240 He comes out and the only time they really not the only time there's a lot of accusation
00:13:22.820 is hints at bias.
00:13:24.320 But the most concrete hint at bias in the entire report is a decision Peter Strzok made about
00:13:31.100 Anthony Weiner's computer.
00:13:32.340 This is insane.
00:13:32.940 The computer comes in late September.
00:13:34.560 I think it was 29th or 26th, something like that.
00:13:36.440 Yeah.
00:13:36.560 It comes in.
00:13:37.660 They find out about it from New York.
00:13:39.640 This is where all the emails are.
00:13:40.840 New York says, hey, there's a bunch of emails on here might be pertinent to your investigation.
00:13:45.440 The IG report says basically they hint at Strzok basically made the decision to prioritize
00:13:53.100 Russia over the Weiner laptop.
00:13:56.200 OK, so instead of responding in a timely manner and following up on this lead, they push that
00:14:03.020 one to the background there.
00:14:04.020 He's going after Russia the whole time.
00:14:05.420 So he's used his bias in the situation to manipulate multiple government investigations.
00:14:12.520 It's a huge deal.
00:14:14.300 So he waits and waits and waits and waits.
00:14:17.020 Well, what happens is that eventually New York, the state of New York, Hillary Clinton state
00:14:23.100 where she was a senator follows up and says, hey, are you guys ever going to do anything
00:14:26.840 about this Weiner computer?
00:14:27.820 That's a month later.
00:14:29.920 So instead of the entire investigation coming out a week before and Comey sending the letter
00:14:38.400 alerting the nation that there's an ongoing FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton 10 days
00:14:43.900 before the election, instead, as Comey hints to in his testimony, I would have probably not
00:14:50.260 told Congress if we had started in September because we started in September.
00:14:55.420 We would have had enough time to go through the emails and we would have had an idea if
00:14:58.980 there was something bad in there.
00:14:59.920 We could have told people.
00:15:00.740 But if there wasn't, which is what they wound up finding, nothing, then they could have easily
00:15:05.340 not told Congress about it.
00:15:07.280 So in a way, his bias, right, results in Donald Trump becoming president or at the very least
00:15:15.880 making his road a much easier to become president.
00:15:18.680 And it's a nice lesson to learn when you want to throw your principles out to get some
00:15:23.080 short term end.
00:15:23.900 This guy may have put, struck, might be responsible for Donald Trump being president.
00:15:30.240 And that's from the IG report.
00:15:31.960 I mean, it's not a crazy diagonal curved line to get there.
00:15:36.780 It's a pretty straight line.
00:15:38.740 And, you know, it's a good lesson because you might as well just do the thing that you
00:15:42.480 know is right and let the chips fall where they may instead of trying to manipulate the
00:15:45.780 world.
00:15:46.260 All right.
00:15:46.560 Back in just a second with more on the IG report.
00:15:50.160 First, we want to thank our sponsor.
00:15:52.100 It's Filter By.
00:15:53.180 If you, you know, own your own home, you have a air conditioning unit that is just working
00:16:00.960 overtime.
00:16:01.340 I cannot even imagine what the air conditioning bill is going to be like this month for this
00:16:06.760 building because we are trying to bring the temperatures down in this whole building.
00:16:11.700 And our our HVAC system is just on overload.
00:16:16.120 It is so hot here in Texas.
00:16:18.700 Well, the one thing we have to have are clean filters.
00:16:22.500 You need them in your home, too.
00:16:24.080 If you don't have a clean filter, all of the air that is is being sucked into your HVAC
00:16:29.580 system, it's clogging up because it's pulling all the pollens and everything else out of
00:16:34.860 the air.
00:16:35.320 And that filter and you pull that out, your your HVAC system is running hotter and harder
00:16:42.980 because it's trying to suck air through that thing.
00:16:46.480 So you need filters and you need them to be replaced.
00:16:49.480 But I never remember to do them.
00:16:51.020 This is why filter by is really, really good.
00:16:53.540 They have over 600 sizes.
00:16:54.900 They ship for free within 24 hours.
00:16:56.940 They're all made right here in America.
00:16:59.260 And they also have auto delivery.
00:17:01.680 That way you never forget to change your filters and then knock 5% off the order just for making
00:17:06.460 your life a little bit easier.
00:17:07.720 So save time, save money, breathe better with filter by.
00:17:12.020 That's filter, B-U-Y dot com, filter by dot com.
00:17:19.780 So let me go to Jason, who read almost all of the I.G.
00:17:27.820 report.
00:17:28.500 So you didn't have to.
00:17:30.400 If you round up, you had almost all of it.
00:17:32.520 Yeah.
00:17:33.140 Well, he glanced at the last, I mean, you know, about 200 pages.
00:17:36.940 But he read over 300 pages.
00:17:38.840 So he read more than any human being should have to endure.
00:17:41.580 Yes.
00:17:42.780 And so, Jason, what's what what do we expect to come from this?
00:17:47.900 Are they going to charge anybody with anything?
00:17:50.640 Well, I think that I think McCabe was vindicated a little bit on this.
00:17:55.700 So I had never heard this before.
00:17:57.140 But apparently McCabe, you know, when he was called out for, you know, his wife receiving
00:18:03.040 campaign donations, he went straight to the ethics board or whatever at the FBI and said,
00:18:07.920 hey, this this could be a problem.
00:18:09.380 So I'm getting all my cards on the table.
00:18:11.400 This is so it looks really good for him.
00:18:13.040 Problem is, the FBI basically screwed him.
00:18:15.600 They said, no, no, no problem.
00:18:17.120 There's there's no optics issue with that whatsoever.
00:18:19.080 There's no you know, there's no problem whatsoever.
00:18:21.360 So he continued on with doing his thing.
00:18:23.220 So he's vindicated in that.
00:18:25.040 However, the issue is he lied to the FBI director.
00:18:27.680 And he lied when he talked about trying to cover up and leak afterwards.
00:18:32.060 That's where he got in trouble.
00:18:33.220 So maybe a little bit vindicated, but still getting in trouble for that.
00:18:36.760 I think that there's going to be a lot more investigation looking looking into struck and
00:18:43.580 what he did during the rest of investigation.
00:18:45.740 They are very heavy handed on, you know, coming out and saying, look, what we can't prove what
00:18:50.640 they did affected this investigation.
00:18:52.540 Although read between the lines, it's kind of seemed like it did like the laptop.
00:18:55.340 But they said they keep on talking about all this pertain to the Russia investigation.
00:18:59.920 Really talks.
00:19:00.580 They mentioned that multiple times.
00:19:02.180 This is a direct quote that I copied down about how bad it was.
00:19:06.260 They said that strucks comments and texts were not only indicative of a biased state of
00:19:11.480 mind, but even more seriously implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential
00:19:18.000 candidates electoral prospects.
00:19:19.780 It's amazing.
00:19:20.880 That's huge.
00:19:22.180 I mean, can you imagine?
00:19:23.200 Honestly, can you imagine if Trump lost?
00:19:26.340 Oh, my gosh.
00:19:26.740 Imagine this report after Trump loses.
00:19:29.240 It wouldn't have come out.
00:19:30.760 Well, maybe you're right.
00:19:32.140 I don't think it would have come out.
00:19:33.420 If Trump would have lost, Clinton would have had every reason to bury this information.
00:19:40.220 Yeah.
00:19:40.700 I mean, because this is, you know, we can look at this in an interesting way of people should
00:19:44.840 be punished for their past actions and everything else.
00:19:46.740 But I mean, in reality, he wound up winning anyway, so it didn't affect the election.
00:19:50.340 Imagine if it did.
00:19:51.700 I mean, this would have sounded like an Alex Jones conspiracy theory.
00:19:55.380 But I mean, here it is.
00:19:56.620 I mean, the lead investigator was trying to do this.
00:19:59.240 I think this would have been Hillary Clinton's Russia investigation.
00:20:01.560 When you go to buy a car and you ever walk into like a car dealership and you realize you
00:20:07.080 have the really like terrible car salesman with you and you just want to change.
00:20:11.940 But at that point, you know, they're on commission.
00:20:13.280 So they're like locked into you and it's a real pain.
00:20:16.740 You just want to get to the right person, someone who knows what they're talking about, that
00:20:20.200 knows and will be honest with you about whether this is a good car or not, whether this is
00:20:25.480 a good deal or not.
00:20:27.180 Everyone needs to make sure that a transaction goes well for both sides and you need to have
00:20:32.120 the right person handling that transaction for you.

00:20:37.900 you want.

00:21:05.940 Here's a couple of things that we need to talk about.
00:21:09.180 Mike Lee really needs your support.
00:21:12.860 By the way, did you see that Mike Lee is being considered for the next appointee for
00:21:17.080 Supreme Court justice?
00:21:18.880 Would that not be outrageously great?
00:21:22.320 That would be fantastic.
00:21:23.300 Although that was kind of rumored earlier and his brother was on the initial list, wasn't
00:21:27.360 it?
00:21:27.680 Yes.
00:21:28.140 But apparently Mike is, you know, Mike is, is, is now becoming popular in Washington
00:21:37.340 and he may be on the list to be Supreme Court justice, which would be unbelievable, just
00:21:46.280 unbelievable.
00:21:47.900 Yeah.
00:21:48.140 Hopefully we have, hopefully we have the votes to get that passed in the, you know, in the
00:21:54.200 next half term.
00:21:56.160 I mean, look, they're always going to say whoever is appointed is going to be, is going to be
00:22:01.040 problematic.
00:22:01.700 However, Mike, if there's anybody who can get through a tough Senate hearing, it's Mike
00:22:05.500 Lee.
00:22:05.740 He's not going to have a problem with that.
00:22:06.960 And he's not partisan.
00:22:08.560 He's not partisan.
00:22:09.860 He's just constitutional.
00:22:11.280 Yep.
00:22:11.640 Period.
00:22:11.800 And he's also, you know, impossibly clean and does not make mistakes with his language.
00:22:19.220 He is very precise.
00:22:20.740 And you know, it's very difficult to.
00:22:22.560 What's great is the Senate probably would rather have him out.
00:22:27.080 The Senate would probably be like, oh, just please get this guy out.
00:22:29.840 He's always talking about the Constitution.
00:22:31.440 Now we have to play by the rules.
00:22:33.560 Have you seen what's happening?
00:22:34.760 He did.
00:22:35.780 I just read this on his Facebook page last night.
00:22:38.160 Here's the latest development in the unfolding saga of the yet to be passed due process guaranteed
00:22:44.040 act.
00:22:44.960 Now, you wouldn't think we would need an act of Congress to guarantee due process.
00:22:53.880 The Republicans and Democrats voted yesterday to let this proposal receive a vote easily
00:22:59.440 defeating a motion to table.
00:23:00.740 In light of that outcome, I asked unanimous consent for roll call vote.
00:23:05.860 One member of the Senate, my colleague Lindsey Graham from South Carolina, objected to that
00:23:10.160 reasonable request, explaining that he's not only unwilling to support the measure, which
00:23:15.020 is his right, but he is unwilling to even let his Senate colleagues vote on the measure.
00:23:20.520 His position is a curious one, given that the overwhelming majority of senators want a vote
00:23:25.200 on this proposal, especially considering that Senator Graham himself voted for a nearly identical
00:23:30.720 version of this amendment six years ago.
00:23:33.560 I respectfully but strongly implore Senator Graham to change his mind.
00:23:38.840 Let us vote to protect due process in America.
00:23:42.280 Let us condemn indefinite detentions of Americans apprehended on American soil.
00:23:49.480 Soil, let us vote.
00:23:53.040 So what this means is they can take, this is against everything in the Bill of Rights, everything.
00:24:02.600 If you're apprehended here, you can't, where do I even start?
00:24:09.920 This is so, this goes back to the basic, this is the liberty part in the Declaration of Independence.
00:24:16.840 Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:24:20.680 What does liberty mean?
00:24:23.400 It means, and the way they were talking about it, is that the king cannot come into your house
00:24:30.380 and just take you.
00:24:32.600 Now that's what happens in communist countries and a lot of other countries.
00:24:36.980 They don't have to charge you.
00:24:40.180 They can come and take you in for questioning, and then you're just disappeared.
00:24:44.340 And nobody knows what happened to you.
00:24:47.500 You didn't have a trial.
00:24:48.920 They didn't charge you.
00:24:49.940 And your family is like, what the hell happened to them?
00:24:52.880 We can't talk about that, and neither can you.
00:24:56.520 This is the life liberty part before the pursuit of happiness.
00:25:01.440 You cannot do it.
00:25:03.540 You must have due process.
00:25:06.380 I don't know what Lindsey Graham is thinking, but he is not thinking about the Bill of Rights.
00:25:14.760 If someone is picked up here, an American soil, they must have due process.
00:25:23.900 This goes to the government just coming in and taking your money.
00:25:30.640 How many cases are we watching on this?
00:25:32.900 No, a ton.
00:25:33.800 I mean, it's a huge problem.
00:25:35.140 And we're not even scratching the surface on it yet.
00:25:37.340 No, it's civil asset forfeiture, which means they can come in, and they're doing it everywhere.
00:25:44.940 And I'm telling you, as these cities and states become more and more desperate to meet their bills, they are just going to start taking it because they can.
00:25:57.200 They will say, well, we had, you know, for instance, the one guy that I know that ran his own store, he was told by the bank, you know, don't make deposits over $10,000 because then you're going to be put on a list.
00:26:14.400 Okay, so he would go to the bank every day and he would make a deposit and it was always under $10,000.
00:26:20.060 Well, that marked him for suspicious activity because why is it always just under $10,000?
00:26:27.200 Well, because that's what the bank told him to do.
00:26:29.960 They came in, they took his money, no due process.
00:26:34.620 He had no money left, no bank account, nothing, and no due process.
00:26:42.000 They didn't even charge him with anything.
00:26:44.140 We know of another guy that was walking through the airport.
00:26:46.940 Yeah, that was another one where he was bringing his money back to his home country because he was going to help some family members.
00:26:53.520 He lived here forever.
00:26:54.320 He had lived here for 20 years, something like that.
00:26:57.360 Yeah, yeah.
00:26:57.580 Saved up over $50,000.
00:26:59.440 It was going to help.
00:27:00.240 And, you know, it was a Croatian.
00:27:02.460 I think it was Croatian, maybe.
00:27:03.980 Whatever it was.
00:27:05.440 Latvian?
00:27:06.080 Perhaps.
00:27:06.400 I think it was Latvian.
00:27:07.660 Whatever it was, he was not confident in the banking system to be able to send his money.
00:27:11.660 So he decided to just bring it with him and carry it on the plane.
00:27:15.220 Which is legal.
00:27:15.980 Which is legal.
00:27:16.940 I mean, it's your money.
00:27:17.840 As long as you declare it.
00:27:18.760 So he's leaving the country and they stop him, take his money, don't charge him with anything, and he still doesn't have his money.
00:27:26.240 And it's his entire life savings.
00:27:27.900 They just took it from him because they thought, I don't know, this doesn't seem right.
00:27:31.980 And they didn't actually have anything on him at all.
00:27:36.220 And then now they're just still holding his money.
00:27:38.060 It's been weeks and weeks and weeks.
00:27:39.100 We talked about Chicago as well as on this.
00:27:42.740 Amazing what they're doing in Chicago right now.
00:27:44.920 Listen to this story.
00:27:45.520 This is a guy, Spencer Bird.
00:27:47.940 This happened in 2016.
00:27:49.740 He's been fixing cars since he was 16 years old.
00:27:53.180 Sometimes he did service cars and calls and would give clients rides when he couldn't repair their cars on the spot.
00:27:59.400 One night, he's giving a client, a man he's never met before, a ride in his car, Cadillac DeVille.
00:28:05.640 Police pulled them both over.
00:28:07.500 They searched the car.
00:28:09.140 What they find is the mechanic, Bird, he's completely clean.
00:28:12.480 Didn't do anything wrong.
00:28:13.260 But the passenger, what he's carrying in his pocket was a bag of heroin the size of a tennis ball.
00:28:19.440 Okay?
00:28:19.880 Wow.
00:28:20.240 No one's accusing the mechanic of having anything to do with this.
00:28:24.340 He was giving a ride to someone who happened to be carrying heroin.
00:28:27.960 What they did is they took his car, the mechanic's car.
00:28:35.040 Now, again, he's a mechanic.
00:28:36.960 He probably needs his car to be able to shuttle people around like this.
00:28:40.900 They've taken his car, they've impounded it, they are holding it and holding it and holding it.
00:28:45.780 Then, they start charging him storage fees.
00:28:49.440 Storage fees on top of storage fees on top of storage fees.
00:28:52.080 Plus, penalties on top of penalties on top of penalties.
00:28:55.220 He can't get his car back.
00:28:56.900 He now owes the city more than the entire car is worth.
00:29:00.360 So, with the exception of legal proceedings, the sensible decision is to just give it up.
00:29:07.460 Let the city have the car.
00:29:09.680 And this is happening over and over and over again.
00:29:11.600 And why is Chicago doing it?
00:29:12.780 Because they're trying to pay down their bills.
00:29:15.840 They're trying to screw every citizen they can because their balance sheet is so screwed up from years and years and years of progressivism that they're just taking people's money and taking people's property to try to get as close as they can to breaking even.
00:29:29.320 So, here's the thing.
00:29:30.900 Without due process, you don't have a chance.
00:29:36.620 Look at the hoops that they are jumping through for the politicians in Washington, D.C.
00:29:42.220 Look at the hoops that they are jumping through to prove that Hillary Clinton did no wrong.
00:29:48.360 They give her every opportunity and every opportunity to just clearly lie.
00:29:54.440 Oh, I didn't know what that C meant.
00:29:55.960 You were a senator.
00:29:59.200 Secretary of State.
00:30:00.760 Secretary of State.
00:30:02.160 And was in the White House for years.
00:30:06.120 You're telling me you didn't know that that C stood for classified?
00:30:10.820 Clearly, that's a lie.
00:30:12.660 However, what did they say?
00:30:15.560 The inspector general comes out and says,
00:30:19.920 We cannot prove it.
00:30:22.580 We suspect it.
00:30:24.080 It seems obvious, but we cannot prove it.
00:30:28.120 So, we have to move on.
00:30:30.320 Now, nobody feels like that's justice.
00:30:33.060 But is it justice that the ruling class has a separate standard that all of a sudden they get the benefit of the doubt?
00:30:43.600 But you're a guy who's a mechanic.
00:30:45.600 You're giving a guy a ride home because his car is in your shop and you are paid or you have to pay the penalty that you lose your car?
00:30:56.560 However, due process, if we do not have due process, we are done as a country.
00:31:06.120 That is not hyperbole.
00:31:08.480 There is nothing left.
00:31:11.280 Life, liberty, and property.
00:31:15.360 Due process protects all three of those.
00:31:20.560 And Lindsey Graham doesn't want a straight up or down vote to protect due process.
00:31:32.160 You need to call your senator and you need to tell them you must vote for due process.
00:31:40.100 You need to call and write or whatever Facebook post Lindsey Graham.
00:31:47.260 Americans don't stand in the way of protecting due process.
00:31:52.980 What Mike Lee is trying to do is to reassemble the Bill of Rights.
00:31:58.420 To put new safeguards around it because it's just being dismantled piece by piece.
00:32:06.900 Tell Lindsey Graham.
00:32:09.720 Sit down.
00:32:11.820 You can vote against it because you don't believe in it.
00:32:15.660 But you don't have a right to sit and block a vote of due process in the United States Senate.
00:32:25.560 It's critical.
00:32:27.300 Do it today.
00:32:28.420 I want to thank our sponsor this half hour, which is Mercury Real Estate.
00:32:39.780 Thanks for making this part of the program possible.

00:34:22.580 All right, so Stu would like to tell us who gay people are.
00:34:27.620 Yay!
00:34:28.460 Which I think is an interesting choice, a career choice, really.
00:34:33.000 I think it is.
00:34:33.680 It's very interesting to dive into this.
00:34:35.060 We actually have Brad Palumbo coming up, who happens to be gay, in hour three.
00:34:39.240 And he wants to talk about the Masterpiece Cake Shop ruling, and whether that's okay.
00:34:43.560 I think it's, it is interesting to hear, I think, the perspective.
00:34:47.380 Because I think what happens in the media is, I've had people tell me before,
00:34:51.020 there are absolutely no gay people who agree with you on gay rights issues.
00:34:58.020 And you think that's kind of how the media presents it, right?
00:35:00.840 I don't think that's actually true.
00:35:01.980 Listen to the profile, they just did a poll of LGBTQ, who are LGBTQ?
00:35:10.200 This one was fascinating to me, completely separate from politics.
00:35:13.420 Okay.
00:35:14.220 Give me a breakdown of, percentage-wise, your guess on LGB.
00:35:19.620 Okay, lesbian, gay, bisexual.
00:35:21.260 What's the breakdown, percentage-wise, of those three groups?
00:35:23.880 What do you mean, what is it?
00:35:24.940 Okay, there's 100%, would be all of them.
00:35:27.060 All of them.
00:35:27.500 What's the breakdown between the three groups, L, G, and B, lesbian, gay, bisexual?
00:35:33.200 It would be maybe 40, 40, 10.
00:35:40.680 And 10 being?
00:35:42.460 Bisexual?
00:35:43.160 Bisexual.
00:35:43.960 Here's the actual breakdown.
00:35:46.460 16% lesbian.
00:35:48.340 What?
00:35:49.500 32% gay.
00:35:51.540 46% bisexual.
00:35:53.640 They're the largest group by far.
00:35:56.160 B is the biggest.
00:35:57.500 You mean in real life or in this, in this club?
00:36:03.140 Out of LGB people, out of those people, lesbian, gay, and bisexual.
00:36:07.960 Okay, so this is not talking about the-
00:36:09.440 46%.
00:36:09.860 This is not talking about the people who are, um, activist in that.
00:36:14.800 You're talking about just percentage of all Americans who are-
00:36:19.520 Yeah, it's a poll of people.
00:36:20.680 Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
00:36:21.680 I thought you meant about, uh, you know, the activist involved.
00:36:26.280 Sorry.
00:36:26.560 No, that's all right.
00:36:27.560 Um, so, uh, how about marriage?
00:36:29.980 Uh, 39% say they either don't want to get married or are unsure if they ever want to
00:36:36.080 get married.
00:36:36.460 39%.
00:36:37.900 So we hear this whole thing about, you know, how important of a right that was.
00:36:42.040 There's a lot of people who have no interest in it.
00:36:44.620 I know that from my own life.
00:36:45.820 Of course.
00:36:45.940 That people are saying, I know, I know plenty of gay people who say, why would I want to
00:36:52.380 do marriage?
00:36:53.100 I mean, it doesn't seem to do you guys any good.
00:36:58.260 You keep getting divorced.
00:36:59.740 We're fine.
00:37:01.100 I guess maybe the same with children.
00:37:02.780 Yeah.
00:37:03.140 Because you hear about like, uh, adoption and everything.
00:37:05.440 Um, 62% either don't want children or are not sure that they ever want to have children.
00:37:10.540 And the biggest group is, I don't want children 44%.
00:37:13.660 Wow.
00:37:14.360 Which is, is, is a large amount.
00:37:15.760 I thought this was somewhat self-evident, but bisexual people are having more sex than
00:37:20.880 their gay and lesbian peers.
00:37:22.560 You've doubled the chances of who you can have sex with.
00:37:25.420 Surprisingly, it's 29% of bisexual people having sex once or twice a week, 15% several
00:37:31.080 times a week, a lot higher than gay and bisexual.
00:37:33.180 You're doubling the amount of available people.
00:37:35.580 Uh, but yeah, it's kind of an interesting, by the way, uh, 36% either moderate or conservative.
00:37:41.720 36%.
00:37:42.200 Glenn back.
00:37:45.480 So several months ago, at the Miss Universe competition, two women took a selfie and then
00:37:50.500 posted it on Instagram.
00:37:52.120 The caption read, peace and love.
00:37:54.680 As a result of that selfie, both women have faced death threats.
00:38:00.240 Now, one of the women, along with her entire family, had to flee her home country.
00:38:05.720 The occasion was the 2017 Miss Universe competition, which I think is a little arrogant of all of
00:38:11.320 us earthlings, but that's another story.
00:38:13.120 The women were Miss Iraq and Miss Israel.
00:38:16.800 Miss Iraq is no longer welcome in her own country.
00:38:20.820 The government threatened to strip her of her crown.
00:38:23.640 Of course, she was also, you know, badgered for wearing a bikini during a competition.
00:38:28.900 I mean, that's kind of what Miss Universe is.
00:38:31.580 And if you didn't like bikinis, why does anybody in Iraq know about the Miss Universe competition?
00:38:42.320 I'm just saying it seems like you might be watching it.
00:38:45.100 Anyway, in an interview, Miss Iraq, Sarah Aydin said, when I posted the picture, I didn't think
00:38:50.940 for a second that there'd be any blowback.
00:38:52.780 I woke up to calls from my family and the Miss Iraq organization going insane, and the
00:38:57.960 death threats I got online were scary.
00:39:00.320 The director of the Miss Iraq organization called me and said that they were getting heat
00:39:04.100 from the ministry.
00:39:05.820 He said, I have to take down the picture or they will strip me of my title.
00:39:09.820 Well, yesterday, Miss Iraq, Sarah Aydin, posted another selfie.
00:39:13.920 This time, did she learn her lesson?
00:39:19.860 She posed in another selfie with Miss Israel during a visit to Jerusalem.
00:39:27.000 In an interview, she said, I don't think that Iraq and Israel are enemies.
00:39:31.640 I think maybe the governments are enemies with each other.
00:39:34.460 And there's a lot of Iraqi people, though, that don't have a problem with Israelis.
00:39:38.380 This, of course, is quite an understatement.
00:39:41.080 Iraq, home to roughly 15,000 Palestinians, refused to acknowledge Israel as a legitimate
00:39:47.940 country, as it is, technically, they are at war with Israel.
00:39:53.400 The adage says that the picture is worth a thousand words.
00:39:58.220 But what do we do when those thousand words are all hateful and deadly?
00:40:05.000 How can we find the goodness in such bad situations?
00:40:11.080 It's Friday, June 15th.
00:40:15.420 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:40:19.240 Welcome to the program.
00:40:21.140 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, the author of the upcoming book, Killing the SS, The Hunt for the Worst War
00:40:26.260 Criminals in History.
00:40:28.260 Hello, Bill.
00:40:28.760 How are you?
00:40:30.220 Beck, I'm good.
00:40:30.980 Thank you for asking.
00:40:31.980 I appreciate that.
00:40:33.020 Yeah, it's not like I really cared, but I thought I would ask because it sounds polite.
00:40:36.200 I mean, but just the fact that you made the effort.
00:40:38.760 Yeah, I know.
00:40:39.320 I know.
00:40:40.440 Thank you for recognizing that.
00:40:41.980 Now, Bill, I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things.
00:40:44.800 Let's start with the OIG report.
00:40:48.480 Your thoughts.
00:40:50.100 Well, I'm not surprised.
00:40:54.220 There were a couple of headlines that we spotlighted on Bill O'Reilly.com.
00:41:00.260 The first one is that the FBI and the Justice Department held back that key memo, the headline
00:41:09.200 of the whole story, where Peter Strzok, the lead FBI agent on the Hillary Clinton email
00:41:14.640 thing, and in the beginning on the Trump-Russian collusion thing, sent to his mistress, an FBI
00:41:22.580 lawyer named Lisa Page, that we, he used that word we, would prevent Donald Trump from becoming
00:41:30.920 president after Ms. Page, semi-hysterical, said, oh, he's not going to get elected, is
00:41:36.540 he?
00:41:38.520 That's the headline.
00:41:39.640 That's the big smoking gun.
00:41:41.940 I didn't expect a smoking gun, but there it is.
00:41:44.720 But that memo should have been out a long time ago because congressional investigators
00:41:48.540 asked for the correspondence between Page and Strzok.
00:41:51.900 They held it back.
00:41:53.920 Why?
00:41:55.080 Because the FBI and the Justice Department knew what a damning thing that would be.
00:42:00.460 But if you listen to the media last night, the Trump media, that was buried.
00:42:05.440 But that is the big headline of the whole thing.
00:42:08.740 Did you get the impression that the inspector general was also saying, of course there was
00:42:15.020 political influence.
00:42:17.400 We just can't prove it.
00:42:18.900 It's really hard to prove.
00:42:20.480 But look, I'm going to spend 600 pages on something that if there was nothing there, I would have
00:42:27.140 done it in 20.
00:42:28.520 But you need to know all of the details and you judge for yourself.
00:42:32.840 I didn't like the report.
00:42:36.280 I thought the report was sloppy and I thought the report was misleading.
00:42:43.300 I'd like to talk to Horowitz and interview him about it.
00:42:45.860 And there are two things I didn't like about the report.
00:42:48.580 Number one, he was very generous to James Comey.
00:42:51.780 Extremely generous by saying, well, we didn't find any bias in James Comey's activities.
00:42:58.440 But we found that he did all of these other things wrong.
00:43:03.300 He was arrogant.
00:43:05.100 He was defiant.
00:43:07.900 He went outside of Justice Department guidelines.
00:43:10.540 He blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:43:11.760 But we didn't find any bias in that.
00:43:14.840 So then the logical question that a six-year-old would ask would be, why did James Comey do
00:43:22.600 all of these?
00:43:23.180 But don't you think that's what he was trying to say when he says it?
00:43:27.440 Well, because because by wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, but he
00:43:30.600 was he said in the report.
00:43:33.000 Yeah, it's very difficult, if not impossible to prove political bias.
00:43:39.740 And I think that they were just, there's all smoke there.
00:43:44.180 Just leave it there.
00:43:45.580 He did.
00:43:46.300 But no, he didn't.
00:43:48.000 He said that we couldn't find any political bias in James Comey's behavior.
00:43:55.220 And that was what the hate Trump media latched onto.
00:43:59.240 That was the first thing that CNN reported and the New York Times and the Washington Post,
00:44:05.860 you know, the usual suspects.
00:44:08.080 Bloomberg as well.
00:44:08.780 So, look, there's a discipline that should be applied to these kinds of extremely important
00:44:15.000 documents.
00:44:16.420 And I did not see that discipline in Michael Horowitz's end product.
00:44:22.180 And why should it be applied?
00:44:23.940 Because this is extremely important to every American citizen.
00:44:28.580 Why?
00:44:28.840 Most of us, you know, I mean, you go out today to the mall and you go, hey, did you read
00:44:33.380 the inspector general's report?
00:44:34.600 These people are going to look at you like, ah, well, ah, ooh.
00:44:37.200 Okay.
00:44:38.120 And it's becoming even more, more deranged in this country where people just don't pay
00:44:44.820 attention.
00:44:45.460 So, why is it important to every American citizen?
00:44:49.800 Because you have the premier and most powerful law enforcement organization rife with corruption.
00:44:58.920 And that's the FBI.
00:45:00.660 And there's no doubt about it.
00:45:03.060 When you have your lead investigator on Hillary Clinton email and Russian collusion, a guy
00:45:07.860 who was hired by special prosecutor Mueller to come on over, a guy who co-authored James
00:45:14.560 Comey's public statement, first public statement exonerating Hillary Clinton.
00:45:18.500 When you have that man showing the malice that he showed toward Donald Trump, that is corruption
00:45:26.860 at the highest level.
00:45:28.760 And this is the FBI.
00:45:30.460 So, what was the attorney general's motivation for not just going after them, other than
00:45:38.440 he couldn't prove it?
00:45:42.460 What do you mean, the inspector general?
00:45:44.340 Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:45:44.960 Yeah, not the AG.
00:45:45.640 The AG.
00:45:46.100 The attorney general?
00:45:46.660 Yeah, yeah.
00:45:47.060 The inspector general.
00:45:47.220 I don't know if, you know, Sessions even knows that this is out yet, by the way.
00:45:50.400 I don't know if he's down in Muscle Beach, down in the Redneck Riviera.
00:45:57.540 You know, where's Sessions?
00:46:00.060 Where is he?
00:46:00.780 The guy is just unbelievable.
00:46:03.680 I mean, you should, Gomer Pyle could do a better job.
00:46:06.240 All right, all right.
00:46:09.060 Where is the man back?
00:46:11.620 Where is he?
00:46:12.740 What is the motivation of the IG?
00:46:16.200 I don't know, other than the fact that it is becoming clear that the Justice Department
00:46:23.500 is just like every other government department, full of bureaucrats who want to cover their
00:46:29.380 butt.
00:46:29.940 It was disturbing to me to see in the report that there is, it seems to be a little rampant
00:46:35.400 of the FBI agents themselves taking all kinds of favors from members of the press.
00:46:43.040 No, I know.
00:46:44.580 It's so outrageous.
00:46:46.200 Every, you know, they expose that the FBI rank and file now.
00:46:52.500 The agents involved in investigations have all these cozy relationships and are going
00:46:56.700 to ballgames and getting dinners and going out drinking with the press.
00:47:01.640 And the press, of course, is getting these leaks.
00:47:05.000 And that's why we have anarchy in Washington, D.C.
00:47:09.540 It's not just the FBI.
00:47:10.620 It's almost every federal agency leaking to the press, selective leaks that the press doesn't
00:47:15.820 care to follow up on.
00:47:17.120 And they just print them.
00:47:18.460 They just print them.
00:47:19.800 They don't know if it's true.
00:47:20.900 They don't know why it's being leaked.
00:47:22.260 They just say, here it is.
00:47:23.220 Here's the headline.
00:47:24.500 We don't care if it's true.
00:47:25.960 We're not going to take the time to find out.
00:47:27.920 And so this is another part of the corruption that has just enveloped Washington, D.C.
00:47:34.620 Do you think, Bill, as we're on the road to, I think, a banana republic, if you can't trust
00:47:42.920 your trust, your justice system, then you really don't have anything.
00:47:46.840 There is no justice system anymore.
00:47:49.360 If you ask anybody who's been into civil court and you ask anybody who's gotten a beef,
00:47:55.260 who's been sued by, you know, somebody maliciously, you ask anybody.
00:47:59.820 You have to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars to just be represented.
00:48:03.940 What kind of justice system is that?
00:48:06.460 You have to wait years.
00:48:08.040 You're smeared if this gets out to the press.
00:48:10.620 It's a justice system.
00:48:11.920 But here's what's even worse.
00:48:13.840 I think that Peter Strzok committed crimes.
00:48:17.840 And that's what we did last night on the No Spin News.
00:48:20.740 He brought in a former U.S. attorney, Brett Tallman, who's probably the smartest guy in
00:48:24.260 the country on this.
00:48:25.480 And I said, this looks like a conspiracy.
00:48:28.620 This looks like a conspiracy.
00:48:29.900 You can charge this guy, Strzok, and perhaps Lisa Page, with a crime.
00:48:36.000 All right?
00:48:36.440 But who's going to investigate it?
00:48:39.000 So Horowitz refers five FBI agents to disciplinary action.
00:48:46.420 Well, who's going to investigate that?
00:48:48.540 Other FBI agents?
00:48:51.020 Who's going to do that?
00:48:52.240 If you look at what Strzok did throughout the whole investigation, again, this is the
00:48:58.120 top guy at the FBI investigating Hillary and Trump collusion, okay?
00:49:03.760 If you look at what he did behind the scenes and how he maneuvered things that, well, we're
00:49:10.540 not going to say this.
00:49:11.540 We are going to say that.
00:49:12.800 They held back the Hillary Clinton thing for almost a month when the stuff was discovered
00:49:18.500 on Wiener's computer, okay?
00:49:20.420 That's a crime.
00:49:22.040 Well, who's going to investigate Strzok?
00:49:24.300 Who?
00:49:25.700 You know?
00:49:26.220 I mean, that's how bad it is.
00:49:27.800 You talk about a banana republic.
00:49:30.160 Who's going to do it?
00:49:31.820 So we got another special prosecutor.
00:49:34.380 Oh, my God.
00:49:35.820 Who wants another special prosecutor?
00:49:37.620 So, Bill, here at the Mercury Studios, we're doing this museum, and it's all on the Bill
00:49:45.220 of Rights, and we're showing the pieces from history that kind of explain the Bill of Rights
00:49:53.320 and explain when we go wrong.
00:49:55.780 But it starts with the Declaration of Independence.
00:49:58.200 We told these truths to be self-evident.
00:50:01.760 What's really run through my mind in the last few weeks is, first of all, they're not
00:50:05.780 self-evident, they have to be taught.
00:50:08.500 They're taught for generations, then they become self-evident.
00:50:12.300 But as soon as they start to be decayed, you're taught something different, that somebody else
00:50:18.200 is in control.
00:50:22.260 Do we, I mean, I keep thinking of the line from, I think it was John Adams that said,
00:50:30.280 you know, the system that we have is built for a religious and moral people.
00:50:35.780 Without that, this system is wholly inadequate.
00:50:40.440 We're no longer people who say, no, no, no, you know, that's unethical.
00:50:44.080 I'm not going to do that.
00:50:45.020 No, I'm not going to do this.
00:50:46.280 I'm going to, we're now a people who's like, I don't care.
00:50:48.560 Everybody's doing it.
00:50:49.620 Are we able to rule ourselves anymore?
00:50:52.460 Oh, boy, Beck, that's, I mean, that's philosophical.
00:50:59.180 I'm going to give you, I tell you what, I'm going to take a pause.
00:51:01.700 I'll give you a chance just to think about that.
00:51:03.860 Yeah.
00:51:04.040 I've got to call some people to get an answer.
00:51:05.880 Yeah, you call, you need a lifeline, you call somebody, and then we'll get your answer
00:51:11.140 here in just a second.
00:51:12.480 Like, he's not a deep thinker at all.
00:51:14.800 All right.
00:51:15.340 Thanks, Bill.
00:51:15.920 Hang on just a sec.
00:51:16.680 We'll be back in a second.

00:52:25.520 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, we are a nation that doesn't seem to care about the truth anymore.
00:52:32.340 We don't know how to find the truth.
00:52:34.220 We don't know how to think.
00:52:36.020 You know, more and more millennials now believe that they are going to retire at 55 and they
00:52:43.640 are higher in debt.
00:52:44.760 There's no there's no common sense.
00:52:46.880 There's no common decency anymore.
00:52:49.700 Can Americans rule themselves anymore?
00:52:53.140 Well, I'd have to say, yes.
00:52:56.960 I mean, I can't bail on the country per se.
00:53:02.960 I think that there is a strain of common sense among Americans over 35.
00:53:08.980 I think that that gap now, it used to be because during World War II, I mean, you had 18 year
00:53:15.360 olds, 19 year olds fighting for their lives in defense of their country and they had to grow up real fast.
00:53:21.140 And same thing in the Depression.
00:53:22.400 They had to grow up, you know, when you were 16, you were a man or a woman.
00:53:26.100 Now it's these people are sloppy and they're, you know, lazy.
00:53:29.760 I'm generalizing and certainly some very, very good millennials.
00:53:33.380 But the schools don't challenge them.
00:53:35.860 The parents are on the machines 24-7 themselves.
00:53:39.360 They're not paying attention to them.
00:53:40.760 There's no moral core.
00:53:43.100 Religion has declined drastically in the country.
00:53:45.780 There's no discipline across the board.
00:53:48.540 It takes them a while to, you know, figure it out.
00:53:53.160 But it is troubling that the truth really doesn't matter because it's your truth.
00:53:58.460 And you see this now in all kinds of public pronouncements.
00:54:01.680 I'm going to tell you my truth.
00:54:04.020 No, there's the truth and then there's deception.
00:54:07.680 It's not your truth.
00:54:09.920 You can basically present an argument that can be overwhelming in the sense that this did happen.
00:54:16.940 And we have to accept that.
00:54:18.880 And if you don't want to accept it, that's not your truth.
00:54:21.640 You're a moron and you're deceiving yourself.
00:54:24.160 So I don't want to have anything to do with you.
00:54:26.060 But that's being embraced as a legitimate point of view.
00:54:29.480 I was just looking for a yes or no on that.
00:54:32.100 Oh, you were.
00:54:32.880 I'm sorry.
00:54:33.360 I didn't want to confuse you.
00:54:34.840 But I did call my friend Plato.
00:54:37.900 You did?
00:54:38.660 Yeah, in the break.
00:54:39.480 Right.
00:54:39.980 And to try to get a philosophical view that I just imparted.
00:54:42.440 Yeah, you just like to take the top off of Plato and smell it.
00:54:45.460 I know.
00:54:46.200 Oh, my God.
00:54:47.740 So, Bill, let's spend a couple of seconds.
00:54:52.520 You know what?
00:54:54.240 I want to go to the summit when we have a little more time after the break.
00:54:56.660 So let me just let me start with this.
00:54:58.520 Looks like the trade war with China is getting really serious.
00:55:02.480 Yeah.
00:55:02.860 A new a new tariff going in.
00:55:07.060 Twenty five percent tariff on China.
00:55:09.940 They said they're going to respond.
00:55:11.920 Is this helping us?
00:55:14.360 Is this going to get things as if the deal is made, which I think it will be?
00:55:19.200 I think the Chinese opened it up with will buy 90 billion dollars more American goods a year.
00:55:23.900 And Trump wants it to be one fifty.
00:55:25.640 And I think that's what this is all about.
00:55:28.000 I don't want to trade war.
00:55:29.500 That's ridiculous.
00:55:31.460 And, you know, when you call for Chinese takeout now, it's twice as much as it was.
00:55:36.140 All right.
00:55:37.220 That's wrong.
00:55:38.680 That's right.
00:55:39.580 I think that's just for you.
00:55:41.460 It's O'Reilly's house.
00:55:43.260 Charge him twice.
00:55:44.040 Charge him double.
00:55:45.220 It's a tariff.
00:55:46.420 Right.
00:55:46.960 Well, but real tariffs have been put on, for example, on washing machines, Bill.
00:55:50.660 And so now they're saying their highest prices they've ever been.
00:55:53.620 They're up 17 percent.
00:55:55.360 Yeah.
00:55:55.520 So now we have real Americans, the folks, paying 17 percent more for washing machines.
00:56:01.300 Why would you buy that washing machine?
00:56:02.900 Buy one from Portugal.
00:56:04.620 Well, because there's tariffs.
00:56:06.420 Chinese washing machine.
00:56:07.300 There's tariffs on all the washing machines coming in now because the Obama administration tried to tariff
00:56:13.100 Korea, South Korea and Mexico.
00:56:15.700 So they moved it to Thailand.
00:56:17.120 Then they did it to Thailand.
00:56:18.360 Now they're doing it to everyone.
00:56:19.620 So now they're all having to pay more.
00:56:21.480 And the folks are getting hit with 17 percent more cost.
00:56:24.380 And it's just funneling into a niche industry here where it's costing hundreds of thousands
00:56:30.840 of dollars per job.
00:56:32.440 It makes no sense.
00:56:34.280 And this is not a negotiation.
00:56:35.500 It's been going on.
00:56:36.260 And it started, to Trump's credit, it started with Obama.
00:56:38.820 Obama started with it.
00:56:39.980 And now Trump's continuing it.
00:56:41.020 Isn't it just a bad idea to tax people who should be able to keep their own money?
00:56:47.620 Listen, I don't know anything about the washing machines, but I do believe what you say, Stu.
00:56:52.300 Thank you.
00:56:52.660 So I'm basically taking my wash out to the brook and pounding it with rocks this afternoon.
00:56:57.780 I mean, I'm fighting back.
00:56:59.580 I'm not going to take this.
00:57:03.120 That's what I'm doing.
00:57:04.900 All right.
00:57:05.660 You want to play that on the ejector seat?
00:57:07.700 Yes, that's what that was.
00:57:09.380 All right.
00:57:10.900 When we come back, I'm sure you have a lot to say about Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un.
00:57:16.480 And I'd like to hear your digest, if you will, of that.
00:57:24.760 But I also want to make sure that we hit a couple of things.
00:57:27.260 What the president said about Kim Jong-un and how he rules his people.
00:57:31.860 He's a strong leader.
00:57:32.720 And when he talks, people sit up and listen.
00:57:34.480 And, quote, I'd like our people to do that as well.
00:57:38.900 We'll get Bill O'Reilly's take in a minute.
00:57:44.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:57:46.540 Well, every week we spend an hour with Mr. Bill O'Reilly, so you don't have to.
00:57:50.860 And just get his opinions on the goings-on around the world.
00:57:55.380 And it's a big weekend this weekend with the museum going on right now.
00:57:58.640 You can go to mercuryone.org slash museum2018 to get your tickets.
00:58:02.560 You can take a tour of the entire museum.
00:58:04.660 Went through the whole thing yesterday.
00:58:06.220 It's incredible.
00:58:07.360 You have access to documents.
00:58:08.740 You can put them in the plastic sheets, but they're right in your hands.
00:58:11.860 And you can read the documents from the founders.
00:58:14.360 It's really incredible.
00:58:15.100 Plus, all sorts of really dark stuff from the Soviets and from the Chinese regime and all sorts of different eras of history, as well as the Nazis.
00:58:25.980 If only we had an expert on, let's say, the SS, who maybe wrote an entire book, Killing the SS, that's coming out soon.
00:58:34.160 If only we had someone like that.
00:58:35.700 We'll try to find him.
00:58:36.800 We'll try to find him.
00:58:37.580 Right now, we're talking to Bill O'Reilly.
00:58:39.320 By the way, we're going to open the case.
00:58:43.480 The Gettysburg Address came yesterday.
00:58:45.420 Did you lose the key?
00:58:46.400 No, it was not.
00:58:47.720 It didn't arrive.
00:58:48.920 It didn't arrive.
00:58:50.260 It didn't arrive.
00:58:51.320 It didn't arrive, Federal Express.
00:58:54.180 And it came separately.
00:58:56.900 And we called yesterday, and we're like, the key hasn't arrived.
00:58:59.980 And they're like, uh-oh.
00:59:01.580 It's supposed to be here at 1030 today.
00:59:04.380 If it's not, think of this.
00:59:06.020 We have to call a locksmith to open up the case with the Gettysburg Address in it.
00:59:13.680 I mean, what locksmith wouldn't?
00:59:16.120 I mean, it's like you're in a movie.
00:59:17.540 I broke the lock to get the Gettysburg Address.
00:59:21.140 Okay, you're in a national treasure with Nicolas Cage.
00:59:23.660 So anyway, we're going to open that live, hopefully, at 12 o'clock Eastern time today on Facebook.
00:59:31.380 I really hope it's on Facebook.
00:59:31.560 It would really suck if we opened it up and there's nothing there.
00:59:34.460 It's like Geraldo's vault.
00:59:35.500 Anyway, Bill O'Reilly, welcome back to the program.
00:59:38.580 Let's talk a little bit about what happened with Kim Jong-un.
00:59:43.960 Yeah, I wrote a column on it, of course, on BillO'Reilly.com.
00:59:48.240 And it basically was a very big victory for Donald Trump because he was able to show the world that, look, we'd like to have peace.
00:59:59.420 We'd like to negate this guy.
01:00:00.920 We'd like him to cooperate with us.
01:00:04.320 And so I'm going to do whatever I can to make that happen.
01:00:08.080 And that includes actually complimenting this jerk.
01:00:14.120 So I think most non-Trump-hating people understand that was a positive, not just for the United States, but for the world.
01:00:22.980 So, you know, it's interesting to see the reaction to Trump, but he gets a big win out of that.
01:00:28.960 So, Bill, I think you know Donald Trump.
01:00:31.620 I've met him a couple of times, and I don't, you know, it's not like, I think it's safe to say it's not like we're friends.
01:00:37.280 He doesn't like you, Beck.
01:00:37.940 Yes.
01:00:38.300 He doesn't like you.
01:00:38.860 Yes.
01:00:39.300 Okay, so.
01:00:39.980 Join the club, right?
01:00:41.060 Yeah.
01:00:41.740 Wait a minute.
01:00:42.580 Hang on just a sec.
01:00:43.160 So, do you believe, because I do, do you believe he is, he's self-aware enough to know I recognize this guy.
01:00:59.900 I see, you know, that he is, I see his want for fame and power, and I know that if I carry a big stick, but then I say, come on into the circle, he's going to want to be into that circle.
01:01:20.220 Is he self-aware enough to know that that's kind of his MO, and it will work on somebody like Kim Jong-un?
01:01:28.560 Well, he's got a pattern of negotiation that he uses, flattery, threats, not sophisticated, but he's worked well for him.
01:01:40.100 So, he uses that, and, you know, in this case, he threatened the little rocket man, diminished him, and then, you know, by back channels, China, said, look, you know, you want things to get better, we can do that too, and I'll prop them up.
01:01:55.200 So, the little rocket man said, you know what, I'm going to try this, and we'll see how it works out.
01:02:00.840 But, is he self-aware?
01:02:02.380 Yes, Trump is self-aware in the sense that he has a way to operate that's worked for him in the past, and he continues to do it now.
01:02:09.460 Now, that, if you take that into consideration, then your next question might be, and I don't want to tell you guys what to ask me, but then why would you go out this morning and say that Americans should sit up at attention when the president speaks, just like they do in North Korea?
01:02:25.940 Why would you go out this morning, then, and say the Americans should just stand up at attention like King John Moon?
01:02:31.060 That's weird, that was my next question.
01:02:31.920 Oh, really?
01:02:32.440 Okay.
01:02:32.960 Excellent question.
01:02:33.940 Thank you.
01:02:35.060 Because there's a lack of discipline on the part of Donald Trump that, you know, we talked about discipline on Michael Horowitz in the Inspector General's report, and again, that's very troubling to me, because, you know, that's his job, and the report was so imprecise about why James Comey did what he did.
01:02:50.620 But Donald Trump doesn't, he basically is a guy who acts on impulse, and you're the president now.
01:03:00.140 He's the exact opposite of Barack Obama, exactly.
01:03:03.420 Obama never acted on impulse, ever.
01:03:07.080 But Trump says, oh, there's Steve Doocy out on the front lawn of the White House, I'm going to go out and kick some butt rhetorically, which he did.
01:03:16.640 And, you know, Trump doesn't even know what he's saying half the time.
01:03:22.720 You know, when I see all this, and then you look at the reaction, MSNBC, oh, you know, I'm going, don't you realize that he just says stuff?
01:03:33.260 Everybody knows people who just say stuff.
01:03:36.260 So that was the big discussion, and I couldn't take it from David Gregory this week on CNN with Mr. David Gregory.
01:03:44.020 Look, I speak French, so I am smarter than you.
01:03:48.420 David Gregory is like this president.
01:03:50.460 He just says things, but there is a responsibility, and we're not the enemy of the people.
01:03:56.640 We're a bigger enemy than ISIS and Russia.
01:03:59.600 I also had a problem with Wolf Blitzer saying we're a bigger enemy than Russia because they were mocking anyone who said Russia was an enemy before this president.
01:04:11.120 You know, I just can't take it.
01:04:15.580 However, I also do see that it's not good to have somebody who's just saying things and not meaning it.
01:04:29.180 The weakest part of the Trump administration is the president himself saying stupid stuff.
01:04:36.340 It's as simple as that.
01:04:38.320 If he would discipline his message, he would be 15 points up in the job approval rating and almost have a lockdown on re-election.
01:04:47.920 But he is incapable of doing it, which makes him very amusing.
01:04:51.740 One of the reasons that I got to know Donald Trump was because he and I would go to sporting events in New York City, go to the Yankees, the Mets, the Knicks, whatever.
01:05:01.180 And he was so outrageous.
01:05:03.880 Sitting next to him for two hours in this stream of conscious monologue was about the most entertaining thing that I could possibly imagine.
01:05:14.140 And that's why I went.
01:05:15.600 I mean, I went and I learned an amazing amount about what his business was, how he conducted it, and what he thought about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:05:24.460 But he's totally uncensored.
01:05:26.920 He always has been, since he's been one year old and learned how to speak the language.
01:05:31.340 Nobody's saying, Donald, you can't really say that.
01:05:33.600 They're going, Donald, here's the gold card.
01:05:35.380 Go out and do whatever you want.
01:05:36.800 He's a rich guy.
01:05:38.020 And rich guys have a tendency to spout.
01:05:40.080 And he spouts.
01:05:41.340 And, you know, the method to his madness is that he likes to drive people crazy.
01:05:47.080 Yes.
01:05:47.400 He likes that.
01:05:48.480 That's fun for him.
01:05:49.920 It's his hobby.
01:05:50.720 What are Donald Trump's hobbies?
01:05:53.180 Golf and driving people crazy.
01:05:55.640 Those are his two hobbies.
01:05:57.620 Right.
01:05:57.960 And it helps to understand that so that the American people go, you know, so what?
01:06:04.120 You know, when I hear this stuff about Trump saying this crazy stuff, I go, so what?
01:06:09.820 So what?
01:06:10.720 I mean, I don't care if he says that.
01:06:13.360 It doesn't bother me if he wants people to sit up like they do in North Korea because he'll forget about it in an hour.
01:06:20.720 And that's what I want to get across.
01:06:22.840 It's about trying to get the country in a better place.
01:06:27.740 All right.
01:06:27.980 And on some things, he has improved the country dramatically.
01:06:31.500 And on others, he hasn't.
01:06:33.160 Can we talk about some serious business, Bill, which is when do we get Killing the SS?
01:06:37.660 Why don't we have a copy yet?
01:06:39.200 Well, because the galleys, as you know, because Beck writes a book every year and the galleys will be out, I think, in 10 days.
01:06:46.700 It's a sharp looking book.
01:06:48.340 I design the whole thing, as I always do.
01:06:50.900 Okay.
01:06:51.120 Hang on just a second.
01:06:51.920 You know there are words in this book?
01:06:54.740 Yes.
01:06:55.140 Okay.
01:06:55.420 Good.
01:06:55.700 All right.
01:06:56.000 Good.
01:06:56.180 But, no, they're in French.
01:06:58.000 All right.
01:06:58.360 Well, when you're talking about a book and you're like, and I designed the whole thing.
01:07:02.540 Oh, no, no, you'll do that.
01:07:03.740 We'll make fun of the French.
01:07:05.860 We have good mustard.
01:07:07.060 You're going to really like this book because it's not the typical World War II book in the sense that, well, I knew that.
01:07:16.440 I knew that.
01:07:17.320 There's a lot of new stuff.
01:07:18.920 And the headline is that the Israeli government opened up stuff to us about the pursuit of SS war criminals like Eichmann and Mengele that they had never made public, that this has been secret stuff, classified stuff.
01:07:35.900 We were able to get it.
01:07:37.660 And, therefore, we were able to walk you through how they got away after World War II.
01:07:42.220 We believe Martin Bormann, second in command to Adolf Hitler, did get away where the Allied propaganda and Russian propaganda was he was shot in Berlin.
01:07:52.260 We don't believe that happened.
01:07:54.100 And we present an unbelievably compelling case.
01:07:57.440 Do you make a case of where he might have gone?
01:08:00.540 Yes.
01:08:00.900 We trace him to Bariloche, Argentina, and where do you see the evidence that we have?
01:08:08.840 It is so unbelievable, some of the stuff that we found out, that people who are interested in the most evil acts ever perpetrated on this earth, and now kids don't know anything about it.
01:08:21.200 You mentioned the Holocaust.
01:08:22.120 I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08:23.400 I'm hoping that this book galvanizes the country and the world.
01:08:27.020 It's going to do very well overseas, and that people start the conversation again about evil.
01:08:31.860 This is about evil, okay, and how evil is accepted in many quarters.
01:08:39.240 There are a lot of people that help these SS guys get away, and we name those people, and some of them will shock you.
01:08:47.140 Bill O'Reilly, always good to talk to you, sir.
01:08:50.180 Is it really, Beck?
01:08:51.280 No, it's not.
01:08:52.260 Hey, what are you doing for...
01:08:53.320 I want your audience to just get the unfettered truth.
01:08:56.220 Yeah, what are you doing for Father's Day?
01:08:58.660 You know, I'm out on eastern Long Island, the most beautiful place in the summer, and I'm going to shake down the kids for presents.
01:09:07.140 You're going to shake down the kids?
01:09:08.240 What are you hoping for?
01:09:09.160 What does Bill O'Reilly want as a gift?
01:09:14.120 I want the children to act like they do in North Korea.
01:09:18.600 Sit up.
01:09:21.640 Bill O'Reilly, thank you very much.
01:09:23.080 Appreciate it.
01:09:23.940 Okay, guys.
01:09:24.700 All right, buddy.
01:09:25.300 Bye-bye.
01:09:25.500 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.
01:09:34.180 And his new book, Killing the SS, coming out.
01:09:37.020 All right, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:09:39.240 It's Casper.
01:09:40.460 Now, imagine taking a car out for a 100-day test drive.
01:09:43.320 I mean, that's how you know, you know, if you love it.
01:09:46.380 Unfortunately, there would be a lot of people that would be returning the keys of that Ferrari.
01:09:50.160 You know, going, ah, I don't think I'm going to get a Hyundai instead.
01:09:57.560 So, they don't let you do that.
01:09:59.280 Same with shoes.
01:10:00.280 But Casper lets you do that with their 100-night sleep challenge.
01:10:07.140 100 nights in a Casper bed.
01:10:10.020 Try it.
01:10:10.500 Now, the reason why they do this is they know that, you know, if you lay down, you know, for 20 minutes in a store, it's not the same as sleeping on a bed night after night after night.
01:10:20.880 It will change the way your back feels, your body feels, and you sometimes will get a mattress, and you'll be 10 days into it, and you're like, oh, this sucks.
01:10:29.880 The opposite happened to me.
01:10:31.920 I put the new Casper mattress in my house.
01:10:35.160 I had an old Casper mattress.
01:10:36.580 I tried the new Casper, and I really didn't like it the first week.
01:10:41.060 I didn't like it, and I was like, good thing we saved the other one.
01:10:44.240 I shipped this one back.
01:10:45.980 In 10 days, I loved that mattress.
01:10:48.780 It's something that you have to sleep on, and that's why they're giving you a 100-night sleep guarantee.
01:10:55.900 Now, it'll ship to your door in a little teeny box.
01:11:00.680 If you don't love it, you don't have to put it in the box.
01:11:02.820 You just call them.
01:11:03.340 They come and pick it up.
01:11:04.520 When the choice is to test a mattress by actually sleeping on it for 100 nights in your home, there is no question.
01:11:11.800 What I want you to do is go to Casper.com and use the promo code BECK.
01:11:15.740 Casper.com.
01:11:16.940 Use the promo code BECK, and that way you'll save $50 on select mattresses if you use the promo code BECK.
01:11:24.900 Casper.com.
01:11:26.200 Terms and conditions do apply.
01:11:27.680 Looking for a great Father's Day present?
01:11:31.560 Then bring the whole family to the Rights and Responsibilities Exhibition presented by the Mercury Museum.
01:11:36.400 Take a glimpse of what the world was like before men had rights and tyrants ruled.
01:11:40.320 Join us Father's Day weekend, June 15th through the 17th, here at Mercury Studios in Dallas.
01:11:45.160 Get your tickets at mercuryone.org slash museum2018.
01:11:48.180 So last night we had, oh, I don't even know, about 400 people here last night.
01:11:55.120 And, you know, some VIPs that came in to see the museum before we opened it up to the public.
01:12:02.620 People were a little surprised on how dark it is at the beginning because we're showing you what life is not only like living under a tyrant in the past, but also what it's like currently living for a tyrant.
01:12:20.660 And it's a little dark.
01:12:24.200 There is a pass-through if you don't want to bring your kids to that portion of it.
01:12:28.780 You know, it just depends on how sensitive they are.
01:12:31.080 There's some pretty disturbing things in that opening few minutes of the museum.
01:12:36.860 But it's great.
01:12:38.200 We would love to have you here.
01:12:39.780 One of the things that the VIPs didn't get to see last night, they saw a trunk that is all locked up that has been flown in from Illinois.
01:12:50.660 And the key was supposed to arrive separately, so nobody had the key to the trunk and could open it.
01:12:59.400 Unfortunately, we haven't found the key yet.
01:13:04.720 And so one way or another, we're opening it at 11 o'clock today, whether it takes a locksmith or if the key arrives.
01:13:13.100 But we're opening up today, and that'll be 11 o'clock Central, 12 o'clock Eastern.
01:13:18.720 And we'll do it on Facebook Live on both the Blaze and Glenn Beck.
01:13:24.480 We're really excited.
01:13:26.060 I mean, I can't imagine what it's going to be like to open up a trunk and reach in and pull the Gettysburg Address out.
01:13:35.200 You know, the handwritten Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg Address.
01:13:39.460 Pretty incredible.
01:13:40.120 I mean, we've done these museums before, but nothing like this.
01:13:43.760 I mean, this is three or four times as much as that we've ever had before.
01:13:49.040 And, you know, there's always been great items.
01:13:51.360 But, I mean, this is really – there's so much to explore, too.
01:13:55.400 It's not – what I kind of like about it is you kind of have the idea of it's not just a few things you can kind of walk up to and read about.
01:14:01.540 Like, you can go through, like, these things and find your own – find your own history, which is really cool.
01:14:07.120 Yeah.
01:14:07.640 Anyway, it's happening here if you'd like to see it.
01:14:10.120 We're also having a big dinner tonight.
01:14:11.600 Tickets are still available.
01:14:13.080 This one is a little pricey.
01:14:14.700 But all the proceeds go to Rescuing Slaves.
01:14:18.140 But it's dinner and a movie tonight here at the studios and a private tour.
01:14:23.300 Or, if you'd like to go, sorry, the mercuryone.org slash museum2018.
01:14:31.220 Glenn Beck.
01:14:33.280 Attention, Earthlings.
01:14:35.340 This is not a test.
01:14:37.500 This is the activation of the climate emergency system.
01:14:42.960 Again, this is not a test.
01:14:46.580 The Berkeley City Council has declared this climate emergency.
01:14:51.600 Now, maybe you've been living under a rock and you didn't already know that a state of climate emergency already exists.
01:15:01.320 But if you don't know something about it, like, now, like, I don't – where have you been?
01:15:09.260 How – I mean, how do you not know?
01:15:12.440 According to the foremost authority on climate doom, the Berkeley City Council.
01:15:18.200 Now, Stu, I'm a doctor, so I don't – I may get into this and talk above people's heads because I'm a – you know, I'm a doctor.
01:15:27.600 Sure.
01:15:28.100 Yeah.
01:15:28.300 But can you give me the qualifications of the Berkeley City Council on their climate?
01:15:36.460 Yes.
01:15:37.520 Master's in climatology.
01:15:39.220 Really?
01:15:39.780 Yep.
01:15:40.300 Yeah.
01:15:41.060 Doctorate in physics.
01:15:42.660 Really?
01:15:43.900 And just – they stated a holiday in Express last night.
01:15:48.360 Wow.
01:15:48.780 Okay.
01:15:49.080 I didn't realize they were that.
01:15:50.180 Okay, so according to the Berkeley City Council and the experts that you just heard Stu outline, they have declared emergency as dire as World War II.
01:16:00.240 City Council member Shara DeVilla, she warns that global warming is driving us toward the sixth mass extinction of the species, which could devastate much of life on Earth for the next 10 million years.
01:16:17.320 Now, I feel uncomfortable making predictions that are a year out, but I'm not one of the experts in the Berkeley City Council talking about the end of all civilization and serious ramifications for the next 10 million years, but they're not afraid to say it.
01:16:38.740 City Council resolution says, during World War II, I'm quoting, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender, and other differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization, building and repairing Liberty ships, converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities.
01:16:59.820 Now, Stu, again, I am not an expert, but would you say that during World War II, the people in the Pacific coast, you know, in the Bay Area, that they did come together across all race lines?
01:17:20.900 Oh, it was a time of racial harmony, Glenn.
01:17:23.440 Was it?
01:17:23.940 Oh, my gosh.
01:17:24.800 Because I thought that we rounded up all of the Japanese in the Bay Area.
01:17:29.580 Mm-hmm.
01:17:30.520 Well, yes, they were, the harmony existed in a camp, yes, but there was harmony.
01:17:35.540 Okay, all right, good, okay.
01:17:36.440 The Berkeley City Council says, the only way to avert World War II level disaster is if Americans mobilize in the same way to confront climate change as we did in 1942 to confront Nazism.
01:17:49.300 Because climate change and Nazism are definitely the same.
01:17:59.000 I don't think I've, no, please, this is a climate emergency.
01:18:03.540 I can give you an example if you want.
01:18:05.540 Okay, hurry up, because we're on the emergency climate system.
01:18:07.020 You know what the Nazis did.
01:18:08.180 I don't have to tell you what that is.
01:18:09.200 You can look at that at the museum here.
01:18:10.800 Yes.
01:18:11.040 I mean, they can see that.
01:18:11.620 And what the climate is doing is very similar.
01:18:15.600 For example, New York Times just reported that they believe now that the ice melting around Antarctica has now led to three-tenths of one inch of sea level rise.
01:18:30.200 So, I mean, if you think of three-tenths of one inch or the Holocaust, which one would you, I mean, they're basically the same.
01:18:39.140 You could certainly see how it's pretty much, how you can almost not tell the difference.
01:18:42.940 They could have gone together really well, because water would have put out the fires of the ovens.
01:18:48.340 Well, there you go.
01:18:49.640 But.
01:18:50.460 It's a little dark, but yes, there you go.
01:18:52.440 Well, yeah, and it was probably not enough water at three-tenths of an inch.
01:18:56.820 Yes, no, definitely not.
01:18:58.480 The Berkeley City Council says the only way to avoid is to mobilize.
01:19:03.520 It gets worse.
01:19:04.760 The resolution calls our current climate change emergency, and I'm quoting, it could not be on the emergency broadcast system, the emergency climate broadcast system, and say this if it weren't true.
01:19:16.540 The Berkeley City Council has declared this the greatest crisis in history.
01:19:23.440 Now, here's where it really gets good.
01:19:28.880 They have to.
01:19:29.580 I mean, this is right out of the Galactic Empire Handbook.
01:19:32.000 They say you have to mobilize workers to build and install renewable energy infrastructure.
01:19:39.960 Berkeley says it wants to become a carbon sink by 2030.
01:19:45.280 Well, a sink is in the same room as the crapper, but I have a feeling you'll be probably better off predicting that you're going to be the crapper.
01:19:55.520 For the initiated, what a carbon sink means is they want the city's greenhouse gas emissions to be negative, which is kind of hard to do.
01:20:07.960 To have a negative carbon footprint, you know, you have to be Amish without any farms.
01:20:20.600 There's a trick to that.
01:20:22.180 Yeah, there is, because you can't truck anything in.
01:20:25.100 You can't use any pesticides or anything else, but you also can't have any animals to help you plow fields or anything else.
01:20:33.620 It's going to be a fun life.
01:20:35.240 It's going to be great.
01:20:36.220 And here's the good news is they want it done in the next 12 years.
01:20:40.340 So, but by the way, that's not their only strategy.
01:20:43.620 I mean, this is a climate emergency.
01:20:44.960 One of the biggest.
01:20:45.700 No, I'm sorry.
01:20:46.380 The biggest in history.
01:20:47.860 So they've got to take some actions.
01:20:49.560 Their resolution also mentions that Earth has too many people screwing up the atmosphere.
01:20:56.520 So we must, quote, humanely stabilize the population.
01:21:03.680 That's weird because we have the museum going on.
01:21:06.280 And I've read a lot about stabilizing the population because there were too many insects that were infesting the Soviet Union.
01:21:17.520 Or too many, you know, too many undesirables infesting Europe.
01:21:24.540 But I'm sure this time.
01:21:26.240 Yeah, I'm sure this time it's going to be completely humane.
01:21:35.160 It's Friday, June 15th.
01:21:37.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:21:40.000 Brad Plumbo.
01:21:41.200 He is a editorial intern with Young Voices.
01:21:45.900 He is really, really bright.
01:21:48.200 He has written a piece for Glenn Beck dot com.
01:21:51.720 He is a, to quote Phil Hendry, a gay man and a gay journalist.
01:21:56.760 And he's written his article as a student from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst,
01:22:03.680 about the ruling of the Supreme Court on, does a baker have to make a wedding cake for a gay couple?
01:22:15.880 And we welcome you to the program.
01:22:17.540 Brad, how are you, sir?
01:22:19.240 Hey, thanks for having me on.
01:22:20.640 Good.
01:22:21.160 So we really enjoyed your article and wanted to give you some additional exposure here.
01:22:28.180 Tell us, tell us your thoughts on the Supreme Court's ruling.
01:22:32.520 Yeah, absolutely.
01:22:33.800 So I really felt very strongly about this issue coming towards the Masterpiece case from the perspective of a gay libertarian.
01:22:41.100 I felt really strongly that if we're going to live in a free society, there have to be things both in life and in business that we can object to and say that violates our conscience.
01:22:51.880 So I don't agree with the Christian baker, but I think that he has to have that right to say, I'm not going to provide that service because it violates my conscience, because I want that right for myself.
01:23:03.100 You know, I wouldn't want to bake a cake that had homophobic verses on it.
01:23:07.480 So, Brad, let me play something.
01:23:10.540 This is from Campus Reform, where they're talking to students about bakers having to make a gay wedding cake.
01:23:17.660 And I would love to get your response, seeing that you are also a millennial.
01:23:22.220 Listen.
01:23:23.160 I think you should have to bake the cake because it's his job.
01:23:25.360 The fact that our Supreme Court found that this was an okay thing, I find appalling.
01:23:30.920 And if his job is to bake a cake for a wedding, even if he doesn't agree with it, he should still have to bake a cake for that wedding.
01:23:35.980 Do you think that he should be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding?
01:23:39.960 I definitely think so.
01:23:41.580 People have a right to eat the cake that they want to eat.
01:23:44.240 Yeah, I mean, I feel like he should have to.
01:23:46.340 Well, it's in the cake clause.
01:23:47.840 Because it's his job.
01:23:49.040 If there were an African-American baker and someone came in and asked them to make a cake for a KKK rally, should they be forced to do it?
01:24:01.400 I'm going to say no.
01:24:02.760 But they're a baker.
01:24:04.280 It's their job, right?
01:24:06.240 Well, yeah, no.
01:24:08.140 I mean, like, they shouldn't.
01:24:10.600 But, like, I guess that kind of just, like, contradicts what I just said.
01:24:15.520 As for his religion, I think that his ability to exercise his freedom in religion ends when that encroaches on another person's ability to be who they are.
01:24:24.780 So, Brad, give us hope, please.
01:24:30.300 Can you give us hope in the millennial generation?
01:24:34.100 Yeah, absolutely.
01:24:35.020 So I'll say that not all of us are that constitutionally illiterate.
01:24:39.000 You know, there's no constitutional right to eat cake for that cake.
01:24:43.400 No, I believe Stu is right.
01:24:45.460 That is buried in the cake clause.
01:24:47.680 Well, I would support an amendment on that direction.
01:24:50.520 I mean, I'm not opposed to that.
01:24:52.400 Right.
01:24:53.800 But what I'll say is, listen, obviously these guys don't understand.
01:24:58.360 I know it's a gotcha video, so they're picking the worst.
01:25:01.020 But these people, these young people that were questioned, don't understand that you can't have the best of both worlds.
01:25:07.200 If you don't want a Jewish tattoo artist to have to make a Nazi symbol on someone, if you don't want a gay baker to have to make a cake with anti-gay Bible verses, then the people you don't like have to have those rights, too.
01:25:21.860 You know, you can't have it both ways.
01:25:24.440 Either everyone has the right to ideological exception or no one does.
01:25:28.700 So that's what we've got to decide.
01:25:30.000 And I think this case decided it correctly.
01:25:32.800 So, Brad, I really, truly believe that the move to socialism, collectivism and away from libertarian and and American Bill of Rights is only because they have not heard these ideas.
01:25:49.160 Nobody has expressed them.
01:25:51.700 Nobody's asked them the question.
01:25:52.940 It was clear that none of these people had been asked that question or even thought that way.
01:25:57.920 So there is no pushback mentally in their life.
01:26:01.680 Is it is that the case or do they or is there a real movement because people really believe it and they know what they're talking about?
01:26:10.160 Well, I would agree with you that many of these young people probably have not been exposed to the libertarian conservative argument.
01:26:17.460 And I think there's two two problems that are causing that.
01:26:20.680 One would be the hyper biased nature of our higher education system.
01:26:24.760 You know, many of them are probably college students.
01:26:26.560 But liberal professors outnumber conservative professors by some estimates five to one, by some estimates twelve to one.
01:26:32.980 So, you know, I'm I'm a college student.
01:26:34.680 I can attest to this.
01:26:35.620 Well, they're only hearing one side of the story.
01:26:38.160 The other side is social media.
01:26:39.780 They create an echo chamber where they only see less friendly content.
01:26:42.860 So that's one of the things that I try to do as a writer and an activist is to bring conservative ideas to young people.
01:26:51.820 You know, we were we have a museum going on here and it's all about the Bill of Rights.
01:26:57.260 And David Barton was talking about the freedom of religion, and he said it's actually way too narrow to define it that way.
01:27:06.400 He said they chose the word religion, he said, but that's not the way they referred to it.
01:27:11.800 And he said, I wish they would have used the the real word.
01:27:15.180 And that is freedom of conscience.
01:27:18.040 And that is that is at the crux of the issue here.
01:27:24.060 It's it's being made about evil religion, but it's actually about freedom of conscience that all of us have to have that right.
01:27:34.040 Because the the the question is, how do we stop bigots from using their religion as excuses to not serve people?
01:27:42.520 Well, it doesn't matter if they're a bigot or not, does it?
01:27:45.060 I would say that, obviously, it matters whether they're a bigot or not.
01:27:50.540 You know, that's not good to be a bigot, but correct law and their constitutional rights.
01:27:54.780 Correct. They still have those same rights.
01:27:56.800 You know, you have to have rights for the people you disagree with if you want them for yourself.
01:28:01.140 So I would agree that it is absolutely a question of freedom of conscience.
01:28:04.960 But it's also a question of freedom of speech, because in this case, what's really at issue is expressive conduct.
01:28:10.960 And what the court really had to answer was, can a gay couple force a Christian baker to violate his conscience and create something that's expressive and conveys a message he disagrees with?
01:28:24.240 And I think the answer has to be no, because I wouldn't want to have the reverse happen to me.
01:28:29.580 Wouldn't you say, though, if they do, that that lessens your ability to live your life free and, you know, without having anybody discriminate against you?
01:28:42.060 I would I would not say I would not say that directly, you know, because there is no shortage of people willing to bake gay cakes.
01:28:51.200 They could have gone anywhere. And I actually think that this decision is, in a way, a win for gay rights, right, because it protected freedom of conscience narrowly.
01:29:00.180 But it did. And, you know, gay people more than anyone should understand how important it is to have the right to some ideas you disagree with.
01:29:07.320 Yes. Because we went through years of discrimination, years where we couldn't get married, years where we would have our children taken away just for being gay.
01:29:14.680 So we should appreciate these constitutional rights more than anyone. We shouldn't be assaulting them.
01:29:19.560 First of all, I would just like to propose when we're talking about gay cakes, we use the term gake.
01:29:24.400 So I think it's a good summary. Yeah.
01:29:26.240 You write in your story, Brad, if anything, this decision didn't go far enough.
01:29:29.720 The court ruled 7-2 in the favor of the baker, but it was a narrow ruling in scope.
01:29:33.720 It didn't hand down any broad declarations protecting free speech or individual conscience rights.
01:29:38.800 A broader pro-liberty decision would have done more to advance individual freedom.
01:29:43.980 Surely, you write, the gay community can appreciate the necessity of individual freedom and importance of protecting the First Amendment and right to dissent from ideas you agree with.
01:29:53.020 You use the word surely. How sure are you on that one?
01:29:57.680 Well, you know, I think that's how I think they should feel.
01:30:01.060 Well, obviously, that's not how the majority of LGBT people probably feel, but I will say that there are much more than you think.
01:30:07.740 You know, I write and I tweet about conservative LGBT perspectives all the time, and there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way that I do, coming from that perspective.
01:30:16.540 But it really is true.
01:30:18.020 This decision didn't go far enough.
01:30:19.680 It only talked about the specifics of this case.
01:30:21.940 I really would like to see the court, and they probably will have to in the future, address this issue in a broader sense and hand down a broad decision that protects conscious rights for Christian bakers, for bigoted people, and for everyone.
01:30:35.760 Because that's what a free society looks like.
01:30:37.980 It's a great story. It's up at glenbeck.com.
01:30:39.580 The masterpiece cake shop ruling is actually a win for LGBT rights.
01:30:43.660 Brad, can I just get your buy-in and endorsement of the term gake?
01:30:46.760 Yeah, absolutely. You know, that sounds delicious.
01:30:51.880 Thanks, Brad.
01:30:52.460 Brad, thanks a lot, and thanks for a great story, and thank you for standing up for liberty and doing your homework to know what you actually believe.
01:31:03.500 In other words, thanks for not being a moron.
01:31:05.140 You're welcome. Thanks so much.
01:31:06.540 Yeah, by the way, that poll we talked about earlier, 36% of LGBTQ...
01:31:12.680 I think it was only LGBTQ in this particular poll.
01:31:15.880 But 36% identified themselves as moderate or conservative.
01:31:18.920 It's not a... We look at this as like...
01:31:20.920 It's not a block.
01:31:21.620 Yeah, it's not a block.
01:31:22.300 It's not a block. I mean, unless Kathy Griffin has something to do with it, then...
01:31:25.740 Oh, gosh, we should talk about that.
01:31:26.780 Yeah, we got to talk about that when we come back.
01:31:28.700 First, let me tell you about Tika Tiwari.
01:31:31.560 He was in yesterday. Did you get a chance to see Tika?
01:31:33.640 No.
01:31:34.040 Yeah, he was in yesterday.
01:31:35.360 I spent about 20 minutes with him.
01:31:36.680 We're so wrapped up in so many other things, but I just...
01:31:40.000 I saw him in the hallway, and I said,
01:31:41.480 Hey, Tika, I got to talk to you.
01:31:43.100 A little freak out about the digital currency.
01:31:47.240 And I asked him to be on the show next week, because he...
01:31:50.260 Oh, good.
01:31:50.540 He...
01:31:51.300 Man, did he make me feel better.
01:31:53.180 Really?
01:31:53.720 Yeah.
01:31:54.020 And he has examples from history on why you should feel really good about it right now.
01:31:58.960 But anyway, Tika is an expert.
01:32:01.120 He was a Wall Street trader for a long time.
01:32:03.760 And then he started seeing the writing on the wall and in high tech and cryptocurrency.
01:32:09.560 It was like, this is the future.
01:32:11.960 He came in as a consultant for us to try to teach us exactly what Bitcoin is and how it works and everything else as we were trying to explain it to you.
01:32:19.600 About halfway through the meeting, I said, could you just make this available to our audience?
01:32:23.880 Could we just put a course together?
01:32:25.280 So he has.
01:32:26.660 It's called SmartCryptoCourse.com.

01:32:42.940 The Intellectual Dark Web is apparently nothing more than a guise for Nazis.
01:32:59.780 Thank you.
01:33:00.640 Finally.
01:33:01.360 Somebody says it.
01:33:02.760 Right.
01:33:03.420 Organizers, this is from The Gothamist.
01:33:06.260 Organizers of a panel celebrating self-identified members of the Intellectual Dark Web, a very serious circle,
01:33:12.280 mostly consisting of men who really don't want you to call them alt-right, have persuaded a few real-life intellectuals into joining them on stage for a day of reflection at the Lincoln Center.
01:33:23.800 New Yorker contributor and author, Marsha Gessen, tells The Gothamist that she was shocked to learn late last night that an event she'd agreed to speak at is actually an alt-right crap show.
01:33:37.620 Hosted by racism-debunking podcaster Dave Rubin.
01:33:46.080 Come on.
01:33:47.240 I mean, at least try.
01:33:48.880 Dave Rubin.
01:33:49.980 Dave Rubin was as left as you could come.
01:33:54.860 I mean, he was on the Young Turks.
01:33:56.300 He was on the Young Turks.
01:33:57.900 He had an awakening and went,
01:34:00.200 Crap, I'm not a Republican, but I'm not a progressive either.
01:34:04.900 I think I believe in the Constitution and the rights that that guarantees.
01:34:14.740 Dave Rubin's going to be joining us next week.
01:34:18.040 You don't want to miss it.
01:34:23.680 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:34:25.840 Welcome to the program.
01:34:27.100 Really glad that you are here today.
01:34:28.740 Welcome to Mr. Pat Gray from the Pat Gray Radio Roundup and his orchestra, which begins in 25 minutes.
01:34:38.100 Mm-hmm.
01:34:38.360 So it barely fits on the letterhead.
01:34:42.620 Yeah.
01:34:43.020 That entire title.
01:34:44.040 Yeah.
01:34:44.480 But it's worth it because it's a powerful, powerful name of a show.
01:34:47.560 Yeah.
01:34:47.620 Even the begins in 25 minutes is part of the show title.
01:34:50.240 It is.
01:34:50.680 Yeah.
01:34:50.960 It is.
01:34:51.360 Yeah.
01:34:51.440 Which is weird because it only works like right now.
01:34:55.080 Right now.
01:34:55.440 But that's when we expect people to use the letterhead is right now.
01:35:01.580 All right.
01:35:02.180 So, Pat.
01:35:02.840 Yes.
01:35:03.160 Welcome to the program.
01:35:04.100 How are you?
01:35:04.660 I'm good.
01:35:05.320 I was excited about the museum last night.
01:35:08.580 I couldn't believe that.
01:35:09.920 I mean, but I forget that you do your own homework and you're busy on your show because I have.
01:35:15.960 He came up to me.
01:35:17.300 You were there.
01:35:17.860 Were you there with him?
01:35:18.940 No.
01:35:19.520 He was standing there, but not with you at the time.
01:35:21.680 And Pat came up to me and he said, this Thomas Jefferson thing changes everything.
01:35:27.040 Changes everything.
01:35:28.480 How do we not know about it?
01:35:30.320 And we've been talking about it on the air this week, but you must have missed it.
01:35:34.720 But I feel the same exact way.
01:35:37.520 Stu and I were looking at it, what, 10 days ago?
01:35:41.180 Mm-hmm.
01:35:41.820 And Stu's like, look at these words.
01:35:44.200 Why are these capitalized?
01:35:45.300 And we start reading them.
01:35:46.120 We're like, wait, wait, what?
01:35:48.260 It's absolutely incredible.
01:35:49.720 It's the exact opposite of everything taught about the person.
01:35:53.480 Right.
01:35:54.540 Disproved in his own handwriting in the Declaration of Independence first draft.
01:35:59.540 Now, there's going to be a lot of pushback because he was a slave owner.
01:36:02.060 But what we're talking about is that he was a real strong abolitionist.
01:36:06.540 Strong.
01:36:07.100 Strong abolitionist.
01:36:08.480 And people will say, well, he had slaves.
01:36:10.920 If he's such an abolitionist, how do you own slaves?
01:36:13.960 Well, first of all, you couldn't free your slaves in Virginia.
01:36:17.160 It was illegal to free your slaves.
01:36:20.520 Even upon your death in Thomas Jefferson's time in 1826, you couldn't free your slaves
01:36:27.300 upon your death.
01:36:28.140 If you were in debt, especially.
01:36:29.980 If you're in debt.
01:36:30.640 If you're in debt.
01:36:32.220 In fact, before that, it didn't matter if you were in debt or not.
01:36:35.560 Right.
01:36:35.760 That's why George Washington freed his slaves on death.
01:36:38.740 Because in Virginia, that's the only way you could free people.
01:36:42.680 They're like, yeah, he did it only when he died.
01:36:45.320 Yes, because they tried to change the law and tried to change the law.
01:36:50.420 And in the Declaration of Independence first draft, it says the king thwarted us every
01:36:56.180 step of the way.
01:36:57.560 Yeah.
01:36:57.900 So they got it on death that you could free your slaves.
01:37:04.020 But then after that happened with George Washington, I think they changed it.
01:37:07.600 Yeah.
01:37:07.920 It was that law was revoked.
01:37:09.260 Right.
01:37:09.520 So and then especially if you were in debt, if you were in debt before the law had been
01:37:15.700 changed, if you were in debt and you died, you couldn't free your slave because that
01:37:20.820 was asset.
01:37:21.680 I don't think it's unfair to read that document and say that the main reason he wanted to
01:37:26.680 break away from England was slavery.
01:37:28.660 I think that's true.
01:37:29.860 That's how that's how overwhelming it is.
01:37:32.700 It's visceral.
01:37:33.440 He's capitalizing letters that you could see.
01:37:35.900 I mean, and it's he is insulting.
01:37:39.380 It's not just, you know, here's an interesting argument about the Constitution we're about
01:37:43.900 to create.
01:37:44.460 No, it's like he's pissed off.
01:37:46.120 It's like it's like a tweet.
01:37:48.040 Yeah, it is.
01:37:49.240 It is.
01:37:49.880 I've never seen.
01:37:51.600 I've never heard of this.
01:37:53.680 I've never seen it.
01:37:54.840 There are there are several things.
01:37:57.380 Did you see of the the the Eastland, the SS Eastland thing from Woodrow Wilson about the
01:38:03.200 10th Amendment at the end of the museum?
01:38:05.840 Yeah.
01:38:06.200 I mean, there's stuff that you didn't you've never known.
01:38:09.760 And it completely turns everything upside down.
01:38:13.220 It you you look at the Declaration of Independence and people always say, how can that man how
01:38:19.960 could he possibly write all men are created equal and then not see slaves even as men?
01:38:25.780 And we've always had to dance around and go, well, well, but it was a different time.
01:38:31.380 And he did.
01:38:32.380 And he wanted to free the slaves.
01:38:34.200 Well, why didn't he put it in the Constitution?
01:38:35.880 He did.
01:38:37.000 He put it in the Declaration of Independence.
01:38:39.400 And because John Hancock had said beforehand, you know, almost quoting Ben Franklin, guys,
01:38:50.980 we all better hang together or we're certainly going to hang separately.
01:38:54.580 They knew if they broke broke up the 13 colonies, if they weren't in lockstep, the king would
01:39:02.520 start to meddle with one of the colonies or two.
01:39:06.280 And he would whoever dissented, whoever dissented.
01:39:09.680 And he would throw the whole thing out of line and it would be over and they'd all be dead.
01:39:15.900 So they had to have a unanimous consent.
01:39:20.480 That's before the draft.
01:39:22.860 So Thomas Jefferson goes and they say, you have to draft the Declaration of Independence.
01:39:27.440 He said, great.
01:39:28.260 You know what it is we're going to cover and, you know, life, liberty and the pursuit of
01:39:31.600 happiness.
01:39:32.000 They go through the usurpations, all the things the king had done, the reason why they have
01:39:35.780 to break away.
01:39:36.800 All of them are one line.
01:39:38.980 Oh, yeah.
01:39:39.540 And he's raping our children.
01:39:41.100 Oh, yeah.
01:39:41.700 And he's taking our houses.
01:39:43.160 Oh, yeah.
01:39:43.920 And he's arresting people and they just disappear and we don't know where they are.
01:39:47.380 One line when he gets to slavery.
01:39:50.380 It's a passionate paragraph.
01:39:54.440 If you ever heard the line, because I know God is just, I tremble for my country.
01:39:59.760 That was Thomas Jefferson's response when this failed.
01:40:05.660 When this failed, he started to write nasty things about not just the Carolinas and Georgia,
01:40:15.080 but also he started writing nasty things about the cowardice of others.
01:40:20.820 Like the North.
01:40:21.360 Like the North that wouldn't stand up.
01:40:23.940 It's incredible.
01:40:24.820 So the guy who was one of the most passionate abolitionists at the writing of the Declaration
01:40:33.500 of Independence, he's known as the fly in the oeuvrement.
01:40:38.860 As a bad guy, really.
01:40:40.220 Unbelievable.
01:40:42.140 I mean, so often people consider him just a bad guy.
01:40:47.080 And at best, they consider him a real complicated guy because he was...
01:40:51.800 He's the American Sphinx.
01:40:53.020 Uh-huh.
01:40:53.940 No.
01:40:54.640 No, he really wasn't.
01:40:55.920 He was stuck in a situation he couldn't get out of, but he hated the situation.
01:41:00.080 And he fought against it.
01:41:02.480 Fought against it.
01:41:03.320 It's the most clear cut stuff.
01:41:05.760 I know how he fought in Virginia, but I've never been able to reconcile the Declaration
01:41:10.900 of Independence.
01:41:12.040 I've never been able to say all men are created equal.
01:41:16.140 And I've never been comfortable with, well, they didn't consider them men.
01:41:19.960 And I thought, well, you know, I got to give...
01:41:22.140 No.
01:41:22.600 That's why one of the words in this visceral writing of Thomas Jefferson, he capitalizes
01:41:33.460 the word men.
01:41:35.200 Now, think of this.
01:41:36.420 Back in the days of slavery, they were slaves.
01:41:38.700 They were not men.
01:41:39.620 They were African-American.
01:41:40.940 Or they were blacks.
01:41:41.820 They were not men.
01:41:43.200 They were Africans.
01:41:44.360 Africans, they were savages, right?
01:41:46.000 They were definitely not men.
01:41:49.000 He capitalizes.
01:41:50.960 He says the so-called Christian king goes over to another country, takes captives, take
01:42:00.660 captives its natives.
01:42:03.180 And they have never done anything wrong against him.
01:42:06.920 He ships them to another hemisphere if they make it through the grueling and horror of the
01:42:13.760 journey.
01:42:14.960 And then he takes these capital letters, men, and puts them for sale on the open market.
01:42:24.320 Wow.
01:42:24.820 It's completely open and shut.
01:42:27.300 That's unbelievable.
01:42:28.160 It is incredible.
01:42:29.660 He talks about how one of his...
01:42:32.040 Basically, his main objection to the king is that he wants to continue a market of men
01:42:38.100 being bought and sold and claims to be a Christian.
01:42:41.940 How...
01:42:42.380 You know, how...
01:42:43.260 You wonder how the general public doesn't know that.
01:42:47.020 But I'm really ashamed I don't know that.
01:42:49.920 Yeah.
01:42:50.360 I felt the same way.
01:42:51.500 I was shocked.
01:42:52.140 I was the founder since the 80s.
01:42:54.020 Yeah.
01:42:54.320 And certainly intensely since the 2000s and ever since we've been together in 2009 until today.
01:43:02.180 And then just this week, we're hearing this information.
01:43:05.300 It's amazing.
01:43:05.760 And we only...
01:43:06.960 It's amazing.
01:43:07.100 We only...
01:43:07.540 You know, the only reason we found it?
01:43:09.100 Stu.
01:43:10.560 I've had that copy of the Declaration of Independence.
01:43:13.640 It's from 1821.
01:43:15.040 It's an engraving of the first copy.
01:43:17.740 I've had that for I don't even know how long, how many years I've had that.
01:43:22.200 And I never noticed those two words until I was standing.
01:43:26.780 Stu was reading it.
01:43:27.940 I was on the other side of the document.
01:43:30.360 And he says, look at this.
01:43:33.320 And he's got a pointing and I noticed for the very first time, these two capitalized words.
01:43:38.600 And I think you said, why are these capitalized?
01:43:41.600 I think was the first.
01:43:42.400 That's what drew me in.
01:43:43.020 Honestly, I probably wouldn't even notice it if it wasn't capitalized.
01:43:45.900 What?
01:43:46.200 That's how crazy it is.
01:43:49.320 That's crazy.
01:43:50.020 And you know...
01:43:51.160 What an effective job they've done.
01:43:53.060 Hiding this.
01:43:53.680 You aren't kidding.
01:43:55.180 Man.
01:43:55.720 Burying it.
01:43:56.340 You aren't kidding.
01:43:57.320 And then repositioning him.
01:43:59.440 And Washington.
01:44:00.520 And you know why?
01:44:01.200 You know why?
01:44:01.940 I really believe it makes sense now why they stick Thomas Jefferson out as the slaveholder.
01:44:08.760 Can you think?
01:44:11.840 Theory.
01:44:13.160 Can you think of?
01:44:15.340 Because he's the one who actually wrote all men are created equal and endowed by their creator.
01:44:24.940 So if you want to discredit that, you have to discredit the author.
01:44:30.600 And you have to discredit him in a way where you say, he didn't even believe that.
01:44:36.720 Right.
01:44:37.360 And that's what they've done.
01:44:38.340 To discredit the Declaration of Independence, you have to show that the guy who wrote it was a liar.
01:44:47.560 It's incredible.
01:44:49.600 You really have to almost admire their evil work over the years.
01:44:53.960 It's true.
01:44:55.100 Pretty thorough and impressive.
01:44:56.560 When we were talking about the progressives and we were really doing our work, we said that a lot.
01:45:00.680 Yeah.
01:45:01.000 You've got to admire this.
01:45:02.340 This is impressive the way they have just dismantled this country and our history.
01:45:09.240 Amazing.
01:45:09.720 Anyway, put it back together.
01:45:11.940 Have you read some of the other stuff in there?
01:45:14.360 Have you read the Thomas Paine letter yet?
01:45:16.280 No.
01:45:16.840 Oh, you've got to read the Thomas Paine letter.
01:45:18.960 It's unbelievable.
01:45:19.300 So much good stuff here this weekend.
01:45:20.720 Oh, it's so good.
01:45:21.820 So good.
01:45:22.480 And the Lincoln stuff is great too.
01:45:24.360 Which came from the Lincoln Library, right?
01:45:26.320 Not the stuff that's out.
01:45:27.700 Really?
01:45:28.020 The stuff that came from the Lincoln Library is still in that case in my office.
01:45:32.460 Oh, yeah.
01:45:32.740 It has to get to room temperature?
01:45:34.340 Yeah.
01:45:34.620 Glenn lost the key.
01:45:35.860 I did not lose the key.
01:45:37.180 He lost the key.
01:45:37.600 I did not lose the key.
01:45:39.240 He's claiming he didn't lose the key, but where's the key?
01:45:41.500 Does Glenn have the key?
01:45:42.520 No, Glenn does not have the key.
01:45:43.740 I did not lose the key.
01:45:44.340 And we don't know who has the key.
01:45:45.740 We do not know who has the key.
01:45:47.260 What's in the box?
01:45:48.600 The Gettysburg Address.
01:45:49.720 Oh, don't worry about that.
01:45:52.160 Are you kidding me?
01:45:53.400 I did not lose the key.
01:45:56.840 You're telling what?
01:45:57.500 The Lincoln Museum lost the key?
01:45:58.940 I don't know who lost the key.
01:46:00.540 I blame it on Federal Express because the key was sent by itself so nobody had the key.
01:46:07.420 Now, I'm leaving the studio.
01:46:09.320 We're going on Facebook Live on The Blaze and Glenn Beck.com.
01:46:13.440 And I'm going into my office.
01:46:16.420 And if this is so Glenn Beckian, so if the key isn't there, then I think we have to call
01:46:23.960 a locksmith because the museum opens in an hour.
01:46:29.680 Yeah.
01:46:30.220 And so and so I think we have to call a locksmith.
01:46:33.440 But I don't know.
01:46:35.000 I mean, it would be a real honor if you knew it was good.
01:46:37.560 But I'm not sure that if I call a locksmith and say, hey, I need you to open a giant security
01:46:44.600 case, you know, so you so we can get the Gettysburg Address out.
01:46:50.340 I'm not sure they will believe it or think it's right to do it because it could seem like
01:46:57.020 you're just in the middle of a national movie.
01:46:59.540 Yes, it might.
01:47:01.200 It might feel that way.
01:47:02.700 Just just just a little bit.
01:47:05.960 So and I did call the Lincoln Museum yesterday and said.
01:47:11.820 OK, the good news is we haven't lost the Gettysburg Address yet, but well, you haven't checked
01:47:19.320 outside the studio yet.
01:47:20.740 I haven't checked that box.
01:47:22.200 I haven't checked that box.
01:47:23.220 Might already be gone.

01:49:04.340 So, Stu, I just found out that the head of the Lincoln Museum is here.
01:49:10.640 Oh, great.
01:49:12.480 What do you think?
01:49:14.320 Just asking for etiquette purposes.
01:49:16.800 Mm-hmm.
01:49:17.720 Is it bad to say, so do you have the key?
01:49:24.880 Yes.
01:49:25.360 Yes.
01:49:25.740 That would be bad.
01:49:26.040 That would be bad.
01:49:26.460 That would be very bad.
01:49:27.320 All right.
01:49:27.500 Okay.
01:49:27.900 You should instead.
01:49:28.720 We just, I just got word a minute ago that the key is on its way and it's UPS, not Federal Express.
01:49:35.000 It is on its way.
01:49:36.620 It's just, it's a bit delayed or lost in transit and it's on its way.
01:49:45.520 So.
01:49:45.540 Well, the original copy of the Gettysburg Address, we've, the key is lost.
01:49:50.920 No, it's, no.
01:49:52.340 It's in transit.
01:49:53.620 It's absolutely.
01:49:54.820 Well, I guess, I guess.
01:49:55.660 Look at me.
01:49:56.560 Look at me.
01:49:57.000 Pretend you're the, pretend you're the guy who just loaned us the Gettysburg Address.
01:50:00.920 Okay.
01:50:01.180 Hey, here's the, I loaned you the Gettysburg Address.
01:50:03.440 Yeah.
01:50:03.560 Alan, key's in transit.
01:50:08.360 It's about here.
01:50:09.720 So you've, so you've lost the key.
01:50:12.360 No, no, no, no.
01:50:13.600 I.
01:50:13.880 So, okay.
01:50:14.340 So you know where the key is then?
01:50:16.500 Absolutely.
01:50:17.060 It's in transit.
01:50:17.860 You do?
01:50:18.400 Yeah.
01:50:18.700 Okay.
01:50:19.160 Where?
01:50:20.400 In a truck.
01:50:22.100 In a truck.
01:50:22.700 Where's the truck?
01:50:23.380 Or a car.
01:50:24.080 Or the car?
01:50:25.080 Look at, I, I, did you bring a key?
01:50:29.960 There's no way to have this conversation with him in work.
01:50:32.160 Because the reverse of the word lost would mean someone knowing where it was.
01:50:36.980 Right.
01:50:37.140 And you don't know that.
01:50:39.680 Right.
01:50:39.880 So it's lost.
01:50:41.540 Yes.
01:50:42.000 Okay.
01:50:42.400 So anyway.
01:50:43.280 No, it is.
01:50:44.320 So anyway, just watch the, we're not going to go live here because.
01:50:48.040 What makes you believe the Gettysburg Address is actually in the box?
01:50:51.960 Alan is here.
01:50:53.060 Yeah, but Alan.
01:50:54.140 Alan trusted you with it.
01:50:55.600 Yeah, but Alan could have actually had it in his safe back at home.
01:50:59.280 And he's, then he's here to open it up and go, I am shocked.
01:51:02.740 That's brilliant.
01:51:03.820 I blame it on Alan.
01:51:06.480 Join us.
01:51:07.120 We'll see you this weekend.
01:51:07.820 If you can make it at the Mercury Museum.
