00:00:28.460 My son asked me the other day, can we go bowling, Dad?

00:00:31.900 I was like, oh, no, please.

00:00:34.260 Not bowling.

00:00:34.900 You mean the sport where you take like three steps and swing your arm?

00:00:37.780 Oh, my gosh.

00:00:39.540 Oh, my gosh.

00:00:40.720 Yeah.

00:00:41.640 Not, not, not.

00:00:42.500 You run a triathlon, right?

00:00:44.000 Yeah, not good.

00:01:12.420 Go there now.

00:01:12.980 Relief Factor dot com.

00:01:15.060 Glenn Beck.

00:01:16.860 Okay.

00:01:17.300 There's something that the there's a new tactic being employed by the left.

00:01:21.960 And it came out this weekend or this week.

00:01:24.800 And if it doesn't backfire, may I use the president's word bigly,

00:01:29.700 then I think we're in serious trouble.

00:01:31.780 And when I say we, I don't mean the GOP.

00:01:34.140 I don't mean conservatives.

00:01:36.280 I don't even mean we as a country.

00:01:38.580 I think I think we as a species are screwed.

00:01:44.320 First, it was a commercial ran by Planned Parenthood,

00:01:47.880 and it used a precious looking little baby in a lullaby.

00:01:51.380 And then these words.

00:01:53.660 She deserves to be loved.

00:01:55.220 She deserves to be wanted. 0.97

00:01:57.740 She deserves to be a choice.

00:02:01.100 Wait, wait, wait.

00:02:02.680 What?

00:02:03.320 Am I the only one that's not dead inside?

00:02:06.820 How evil do you have to be to see this beautiful child,

00:02:11.880 to hear a lullaby, see this cooing little baby,

00:02:15.900 and then try to think that this baby could have been killed

00:02:22.460 and it would have been a good thing.

00:02:24.600 I mean, it's just really, it's crazy.

00:02:28.620 You know, if you were struggling,

00:02:31.040 this baby deserves to be loved unless it was inconvenient for mom.

00:02:36.560 And then mom should have killed it. 1.00

00:02:39.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:02:40.160 Now, this was just the first crazy ad.

00:02:43.880 The second crazy ad, I don't even know what it's about.

00:02:47.480 I had to ask around, what the hell is this?

00:02:51.120 Celine Dion, everybody's personal favorite.

00:02:54.900 Celine Dion has just launched a new clothing line.

00:02:59.080 You know, that's just what I've been waiting for.

00:03:01.140 I mean, I've been hearing the clamoring all around the streets of America going,

00:03:06.320 could we just get a clothing line from Celine Dion?

00:03:09.460 Well, yes.

00:03:10.320 Yes.

00:03:10.760 She now, she's launched her clothing line with a little mini movie style commercial.

00:03:17.540 But I have to warn you, it's one of the creepiest things you'll hear.

00:03:23.080 Well, I was going to say all year, but we're still three, four weeks away.

00:03:26.620 We might hit something even more creepy by the end of the year.

00:03:30.860 Listen to this.

00:03:31.420 Our children, as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life.

00:03:38.840 Oh.

00:03:39.400 For us, they are everything.

00:03:41.600 Everything.

00:03:42.480 But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe.

00:03:46.220 Yes.

00:03:47.700 Mom and dad.

00:03:49.120 We miss the past.

00:03:50.120 Oh.

00:03:50.620 They dream of tomorrow.

00:03:52.640 Oh, that's great.

00:03:53.400 We may thrust them forward into the future.

00:03:56.120 Yeah.

00:03:56.600 But the course will always be theirs to choose.

00:03:59.680 Of course.

00:04:00.180 Now, they're wrapped in pink and blue blankets, but she's about to blow out of her hand some

00:04:08.380 sort of magical, well, it kind of looks like ashes.

00:04:13.720 And it floats around the room of this nursery in a hospital, and all the blue and pink goes

00:04:22.200 away.

00:04:22.940 It all goes away.

00:04:25.480 Oh.

00:04:26.980 Isn't that great?

00:04:28.460 And then everybody's wearing black and white because our children aren't really ours.

00:04:36.100 Yes.

00:04:36.660 They're the focus of our lives, but we're just an insignificant little nothing to them.

00:04:45.260 Celine, it doesn't make me want to buy your baby clothes.

00:04:48.160 In fact, it makes me want to do the opposite.

00:04:50.080 It really does.

00:04:51.400 Really does.

00:04:53.200 This is Marxist propaganda.

00:04:56.720 Now, our children are not our children.

00:04:59.560 And this has been coming for a long time.

00:05:01.660 Now, Celine loves this because, isn't she Canadian? 0.99

00:05:05.460 Canada's been on this whole thing of, oh, you know, your children, you know, they're your

00:05:10.260 children until we tell you they're not your children.

00:05:12.400 Because, really, they belong to all of us.

00:05:16.380 You know, the great we.

00:05:19.800 Oh, my gosh.

00:05:21.440 By the way, does anybody know what 1984, they claim that George Orwell may have stolen this

00:05:31.520 idea of 1984.

00:05:32.800 And 1984 is a big government.

00:05:34.540 It controls everybody.

00:05:35.560 Everybody has a number and a name and big brothers watching you.

00:05:40.180 But it's actually, and now that I've read the book, I think you could make a pretty strong

00:05:44.820 case that it was stolen from a Russian novel in 1922.

00:05:49.280 You know what the name of that Russian novel is?

00:05:52.200 We.

00:05:53.860 We.

00:05:54.940 Have you read Anthem by Ayn Rand?

00:05:57.440 And where nobody can say I or me, each individual is we, because the individual doesn't exist.

00:06:06.560 You're not an individual.

00:06:07.960 You're part of the collective.

00:06:09.280 You're just a spoke on a giant wheel.

00:06:12.540 That's all you are.

00:06:13.920 And, you know, if we start to run down to too many spokes or, you know, not enough spokes,

00:06:19.020 you're not really even a spoke.

00:06:21.180 Because you have to be identical to everybody else, and you're just part of the collective.

00:06:24.940 This, again, is Marxist propaganda.

00:06:30.860 And Celine Dion is shown in this little mini movie, breaking into the hospital nursery,

00:06:35.320 where she delivers the line, they have the right to choose.

00:06:40.360 Oh, really?

00:06:41.800 Which turns the hospital into some Orwellian, you know, black and white room, removes all

00:06:47.300 of the pink and blue, and changes all the boy-girl symbolism into, like, hospital crosses that

00:06:55.720 are just black.

00:06:57.160 Honestly, it looks like they're almost wearing prison clothes.

00:07:00.660 It's beautiful.

00:07:01.680 No, I seriously, I love my kids so much where they, just everything is black and white in 0.99

00:07:08.340 their world.

00:07:09.760 You know, gray.

00:07:10.660 Oh, if we could get them those Nehru jackets, if we could get them the old communist, you 0.98

00:07:15.840 know, uh, like Mao jacket for the kids, wouldn't that be cute?

00:07:22.020 The scariest thing about the past seven days or so is I haven't heard any real backlash

00:07:27.320 from either of these.

00:07:29.060 Have you seen a backlash where a beautiful baby is, is, is used as a choice?

00:07:37.720 It deserves to be loved, deserves to be wanted, and deserves to be a choice.

00:07:41.840 Mom should be able to kill this beautiful baby. 1.00

00:07:44.360 Are we dead inside?

00:07:48.600 Are we so, are we so Marxist now?

00:07:59.060 Has the, has the cultural Marxist movement washed over us so much that we're now either

00:08:08.580 just dead inside from all of it because we just, I don't know, it's just, or are we starting

00:08:15.940 to believe it?

00:08:18.260 How long are we going to allow this crap?

00:08:20.740 How long before we all start standing up and saying, no, our children are our children.

00:08:31.940 That's my child.

00:08:33.820 My child.

00:08:35.160 My child is an individual.

00:08:37.620 My child is not a number for the state, not part of the collective.

00:08:42.340 It's my child.

00:08:44.020 I have the responsibility.

00:08:48.440 No government, no Marxist, no capitalist has any claim to them.

00:08:54.120 And gender?

00:08:59.120 You know, I really feel, I really do feel for Bruce Jenner.

00:09:05.780 I, I, I will call Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn, out of respect.

00:09:14.660 I can't, I feel for him.

00:09:17.020 I feel for the life that he led.

00:09:20.420 I feel, my heart breaks to think the guy that was on my Wheaties box, at the whole time,

00:09:27.160 felt like he wasn't himself.

00:09:29.200 He spent his whole life hiding.

00:09:32.200 That is horrible.

00:09:34.920 It's just horrible.

00:09:40.400 But he's still Bruce Jenner.

00:09:42.700 He's still a guy.

00:09:44.000 He might have changed his name.

00:09:45.480 And if he wants me to call him Caitlyn, I'll call you Caitlyn.

00:09:50.220 Because I don't want, I don't want to be a part of any of your pain.

00:09:54.080 But if you have to put me on the stand and say, is that a male or a female?

00:09:57.780 That's a male.

00:09:59.180 It's a male, period. 0.96

00:10:00.240 It's Bruce Jenner.

00:10:01.420 And I can understand, but I am not going to change reality.

00:10:08.940 Now, if Bruce Jenner wants to become Caitlyn Jenner and wants to have surgery and everything

00:10:14.700 else, he's an adult.

00:10:16.400 He can do that.

00:10:18.360 He can do that.

00:10:20.340 You have a right to do that.

00:10:23.080 But it is child abuse.

00:10:24.960 Child abuse to suggest that a 10-year-old should be giving hormones.

00:10:35.160 That a 10-year-old should be allowed to choose at that point.

00:10:40.000 Any attempt to trivialize or diminish the family, any attempt to trivialize or diminish the individual

00:10:58.880 into the basic we, any attempt to trivialize or dismiss basic science should be met head on.

00:11:09.340 Now, I don't know how many people can still stomach hearing my heart will go on one more friggin' time.

00:11:20.160 But please, for the sake of sanity, Celine, I'll buy a ticket to your show.

00:11:30.480 I'll endure that if you will just close your mouth, stop trying to preach Marxist propaganda,

00:11:41.400 and we'll listen to your damn, oh my gosh, the boat is sinking song. 0.60

00:11:56.520 It's Friday, November 16th.

00:11:59.380 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:12:03.600 She has a right to speak out.

00:12:05.920 Yes, she does.

00:12:06.940 Yes, she does.

00:12:08.520 And you know what?

00:12:09.320 I'm not going to protest her show.

00:12:11.680 Saying, you know, she doesn't have a right to say anything.

00:12:15.340 Could we play from yesterday?

00:12:16.960 I just want to play those students again from out front of the Ben Shapiro speech.

00:12:23.580 These are college students.

00:12:25.980 Here's what we should not do to Celine Dion.

00:12:30.080 Do you think he should speak tonight or no?

00:12:31.520 No.

00:12:32.140 Not at all.

00:12:33.080 About free speech and the Constitution, how does it work?

00:12:36.580 That's a good point, but he shouldn't be allowed to have free speech

00:12:40.080 if he's going to preach the kinds of things that he does.

00:12:41.940 Okay, stop for a second.

00:12:43.200 Stop right there.

00:12:43.860 Stop right there.

00:12:44.720 So wait a minute.

00:12:46.120 You shouldn't have free speech if you're going to preach the things that he's preaching.

00:12:52.420 Okay, well, then there is no free speech.

00:12:56.800 There is no free speech.

00:12:59.280 Free speech is all about politics.

00:13:02.760 It is all about life.

00:13:05.240 It is all about pushing the boundaries of ideas.

00:13:08.740 Because that's what freedom of speech is.

00:13:12.020 That's why we have it protected.

00:13:14.520 What do you think the founders did that?

00:13:17.840 Because they were speaking against the government and there were only 20%.

00:13:22.660 It was about 20 to 25% of the American population that believed we should break away from the king.

00:13:30.700 25%.

00:13:31.380 So this wasn't to the majority thought.

00:13:35.940 In fact, a lot of Americans thought they were very, very dangerous.

00:13:39.960 Oh my gosh, they're going to get us all killed.

00:13:43.420 But they continued to do it.

00:13:45.060 And the king wanted to silence them.

00:13:47.560 And they said, no, we are not subjects.

00:13:51.280 We are people.

00:13:54.800 That was heretical.

00:13:57.240 That was something that's a completely new idea.

00:14:01.380 Now you want to silence people?

00:14:06.540 No, freedom of speech is absolute.

00:14:09.960 I'm sorry.

00:14:10.860 And by the way, I can prove this to you.

00:14:13.900 Because while on tour, I went into crowded movie theaters and shouted, fire.

00:14:21.520 In every stop, in every city, I was on stage.

00:14:26.080 Fire!

00:14:29.360 Was I arrested still?

00:14:31.380 No, but that did really happen.

00:14:32.920 Yes.

00:14:34.480 You can, in a crowded movie theater, cry fire.

00:14:38.700 There is no law against that unless your intent is to cause panic, to cause chaos, to lie, to cause people to be trampled to death.

00:14:59.420 If you really think there is a fire, you can do it.

00:15:03.800 Or if you're trying to make a point, you can cry fire.

00:15:07.740 You can't do it if you're trying to get people trampled to death.

00:15:11.160 So, no, the freedom of speech, as long as you're not trying to get people killed, and even that is questionable.

00:15:26.220 Because you could say, that's what the founders were preaching.

00:15:31.760 The founders were preaching people getting killed.

00:15:34.140 Yes, they were talking about war.

00:15:40.260 So, let me pick up the rest of it, because this is the most important part that we heard from these college students being interviewed about why Ben Shapiro should not be heard.

00:15:52.100 Specifically, what does he say?

00:15:56.740 I don't know what he said specifically.

00:15:59.560 Do you know any quotes or anything?

00:16:00.920 I don't know what he said specifically.

00:16:02.200 I just don't agree with his platform.

00:16:04.020 Okay, stop.

00:16:04.980 Okay, so what is Ben Shapiro's platform?

00:16:08.960 What is it?

00:16:09.920 They don't even know.

00:16:12.080 Now, here's the really hopeful part.

00:16:14.420 I talk to millennials.

00:16:17.040 I meet with millennials.

00:16:19.040 The millennials that I know, the millennials that I work with, they are hungry.

00:16:24.920 They're hungry.

00:16:25.560 They're starving.

00:16:27.080 And here's what they're starving for.

00:16:28.820 They're starving not for somebody to tell them what to think and what to say.

00:16:33.580 Here, just chant this back.

00:16:35.460 Mic check, mic check.

00:16:37.140 Just follow me.

00:16:39.100 They can get that anywhere and everywhere.

00:16:41.480 Every teacher they've ever had has told them what to think.

00:16:45.860 Society tells them what to say, what's popular, what's not popular, where to stand at all times.

00:16:54.420 Get in a single file.

00:16:55.320 Get in a single file.

00:16:56.400 Hey, by the way, we are all individuals here.

00:16:59.360 We're all we're for freedom, absolute freedom.

00:17:02.200 We're not like those fascists.

00:17:03.500 Get in the single file.

00:17:04.900 Get in a single file.

00:17:06.560 Repeat this.

00:17:07.360 Like I said, we're not about fascism here.

00:17:09.560 We're fighting.

00:17:09.960 Get in line.

00:17:14.740 At some level, millennials know that doesn't make sense.

00:17:21.220 Now, they may not have even thought of it that way because they're not encouraged to think.

00:17:26.520 But the minute you engage a millennial and you start asking them questions, and not questions that trap them,

00:17:34.600 just questions, honest questions, to hear their point of view, and to continue to pull at that thread, it doesn't last long.

00:17:50.840 Because all they've been told is, get in line.

00:17:55.460 They're starving for someone to help them understand the world.

00:18:04.620 They're starving for someone to teach them how to question and how to find the answers.

00:18:12.420 They've got enough people trying to tell them what the answers are.

00:18:17.820 They don't have anybody trying to teach them how to find the answers on their own.

00:18:22.920 I re-read a book last night that I want to share with you when we come back.

00:18:37.900 Our sponsor this half hour is My Patriot Supply.

00:18:40.980 My Patriot Supply is...

00:18:42.800 Do you have food storage, Stu?

00:18:44.700 You do, don't you?

00:18:45.240 Yeah, from My Patriot Supply.

00:18:46.200 And you were not a guy who was on that bandwagon for a long time.

00:18:50.760 Oh, no.

00:18:51.140 It was one of my favorite things to make fun of you about.

00:18:53.280 Yeah.

00:18:53.940 What was it that got you?

00:18:55.620 What was it that made you say, I think I need you to do this?

00:18:58.360 These two little humans have been walking around my house a lot. 0.68

00:19:02.180 And when you realize you have kids and you think, hey, one of these things is not just you that could be screwed.

00:19:09.060 I mean, my wife can probably figure it out. 1.00

00:19:11.940 But honestly, like, you know, you have kids, you actually feel like maybe you're a responsible adult at this point.

00:19:17.240 You should probably prepare for things.

00:19:19.100 So it's a great relief when you as a dad have prepared and you have that.

00:19:25.360 You can check that box and say, no matter what happens, I die tomorrow and the family has no money coming in.

00:19:32.820 My kids are going to be OK for a while.

00:19:34.740 My family is going to be OK.

00:19:35.860 I can't tell you what a relief that is when you actually realize that.

00:19:39.880 But we're not talking about you dying or, you know, even fires or earthquakes or hurricanes, although those things seem to be happening an awful lot.

00:19:48.940 My Patriot Supply is there.

00:19:50.780 They can give you now their two most popular emergency food kits on their Web site.

00:19:55.940 Prepare with Glenn dot com.

00:19:57.520 You're going to get a special price.

00:19:59.640 Food kits include breakfast, lunches and dinners that last up to 25 years.

00:20:04.020 Prepare now.

00:20:05.380 You see this this snowstorm in New York last night.

00:20:08.360 I mean, there are people just stuck for hours and hours and hours and there's nothing open.

00:20:12.160 They couldn't get out.

00:20:12.900 I mean, even then, it's a great it's a great thing to have.

00:20:15.720 Prepare with Glenn dot com.

00:20:17.000 Go there now.

00:20:17.580 Prepare with Glenn dot com.

00:20:19.120 So we are just a few days away from gathering with our families and thinking, I've got to get into the kitchen before I stab this person with a fork.

00:20:34.280 How many times you get up, say, you know, I got to get to say, you don't want anything to drink.

00:20:37.880 Anybody want anything to drink?

00:20:40.660 You know, that's that's what's been happening with our holidays.

00:20:43.220 And we're having a hard time talking to each other.

00:20:45.600 I want to share the way you can you can actually make a positive impact with your family this holiday.

00:20:58.140 And it is it's so simple and so brilliant that, you know, it obviously didn't come from me.

00:21:06.580 So so you can trust it.

00:21:09.120 But we'll do that next.

00:21:13.220 Welcome to the program.

00:21:20.340 So yesterday, this this guy, this kid in junior high calls me up and he says, Glenn, I'm having a really hard time educating my friends because they don't really want to hear it.

00:21:32.360 And I can I can be I don't remember the word he used exactly, but it was basically I can I can get heated at times belligerent.

00:21:43.500 Yeah, a little belligerent.

00:21:44.600 Was that the word that he used?

00:21:45.520 I don't remember.

00:21:46.220 But yeah, it was it was that it was probably not that strong, but it was in that neighborhood.

00:21:50.960 And so he asked for advice.

00:21:53.080 And the thing that came off right off the top of my head was you need to read how to win friends and influence people.

00:21:59.780 Now, I haven't read this probably since I was a teenager.

00:22:02.400 This is my dad.

00:22:03.520 My dad was, I mean, how to win friends and influence people.

00:22:07.980 It's the greatest book ever written.

00:22:09.040 It'll change your life.

00:22:11.140 Last night, I reread it.

00:22:13.320 And it was like having a conversation with my dad.

00:22:15.500 And I realized where so much of what I believe comes from.

00:22:20.820 I mean, if you really want to know who I am or the or the the basis of of me, a cornerstone of me.

00:22:33.720 It's this book.

00:22:34.960 And it's amazing.

00:22:36.360 It is amazing.

00:22:37.620 I had forgotten how good it was.

00:22:39.480 You're going to have dinner.

00:22:41.920 Welcome to the program, Pat Gray.

00:22:43.200 You're going to have dinner with your relatives who are absolutely the on the wrong side of every argument.

00:22:54.900 Here's how you here's how you have a really good Thanksgiving.

00:23:00.160 I'm just going to I'm going to give you the highlights.

00:23:03.640 Fundamental techniques in handling people.

00:23:06.720 Number one, don't criticize, condemn or complain.

00:23:10.160 Human nature does not like to admit fault.

00:23:12.460 When people are criticized or humiliated, they rarely respond well to give honest and sincere appreciation.

00:23:22.780 Appreciation is one of the most powerful tools in the world.

00:23:25.700 People will rarely work at their maximum potential under criticism.

00:23:29.920 Three arousing other in the other person and eager want to get what we want from another person.

00:23:36.960 We must forget our own perspective and begin to see things from other people's perspectives.

00:23:42.460 Six ways to make people like you more.

00:23:45.460 Be genuinely interested in other people.

00:23:50.060 Two, smile.

00:23:51.920 This is something my father did.

00:23:54.880 If he told me that story one more time.

00:23:57.480 My father was he look, he was he was horribly abused as a kid and he had nothing to go on.

00:24:05.480 So he just looked for great ideas.

00:24:08.460 He he was kind of a Willie Loman kind of guy where he just didn't have a lot of friends and he just worked all the time.

00:24:16.840 But he his friends, I found out later in life, were people like this Norman Vincent Peale that were just his book friends.

00:24:24.700 And and he would take these ideas and he would apply them.

00:24:28.340 And he told me, he said, son, he said, I want you to do this.

00:24:31.160 He said, I did this when I was like 18.

00:24:32.680 I walked down the streets of Seattle and he said, I walked down one side of the sidewalk, one side of the street and I frowned at everybody.

00:24:43.600 And I just kind of looked at them and just kind of dismiss them.

00:24:47.260 And he said, everybody I met was a grump.

00:24:51.620 He said that I crossed the street after a few blocks and I decided to smile.

00:24:56.840 And everyone I met on the other side of the street greeted me with happiness.

00:25:02.780 He said, so either there's a problem.

00:25:06.140 You're on the wrong side of the street or it's what you're putting out.

00:25:11.900 This is Norman Vincent Peale again.

00:25:14.680 Smile.

00:25:15.200 Remember that a person remember a person's name.

00:25:18.640 Oh, that's a really hard one.

00:25:19.860 Be a good listener.

00:25:21.140 Encourage people to talk about themselves.

00:25:22.760 Talk in terms of other people's interest.

00:25:24.720 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:25.500 OK, now listen to this.

00:25:27.520 If you apply these at Thanksgiving, you are going to find a completely different atmosphere.

00:25:33.820 Listen to these 12 ways to win people to your thinking.

00:25:38.600 One, the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.

00:25:43.780 Whenever we argue with someone, no matter if we win or lose the argument, we all still lose.

00:25:50.220 The other person will either feel humiliated or strengthened and will only seek to bolster their own position.

00:25:57.720 We must avoid arguments whenever we can.

00:26:00.400 Two, show respect for other people's opinions.

00:26:04.660 Never say you're wrong.

00:26:07.960 How many times have we said that?

00:26:09.620 How many times have I said that?

00:26:11.700 We must never tell people flat out that they are wrong.

00:26:15.280 It will only serve to offend them and insult their pride.

00:26:18.480 No one likes to be humiliated.

00:26:20.400 We must not be so blunt.

00:26:22.880 That's the word that kid used.

00:26:24.420 Blunt.

00:26:25.000 Yeah, right.

00:26:25.980 Three.

00:26:26.760 Yep.

00:26:27.240 Three.

00:26:27.940 If you're wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

00:26:32.140 Whenever we're wrong, we should immediately admit it.

00:26:36.580 Four, begin in a friendly way.

00:26:38.720 If we begin our interactions with others in a friendly way, people will be more receptive.

00:26:44.700 Five, start with questions to which the other person will always answer yes.

00:26:52.560 That is, that's the theory of, in my book, about the unum.

00:26:56.220 Where do we agree?

00:26:58.080 Where do we agree?

00:26:59.040 Find the things that we agree on.

00:27:01.420 Start there.

00:27:02.740 Let the other person do a great deal of talking.

00:27:06.580 Number seven, let the other person feel the idea is his or hers.

00:27:11.580 Try to see things from the other person's point of view.

00:27:14.580 Other people may often be wrong, but we cannot condemn them.

00:27:18.160 We must seek to understand them.

00:27:20.440 Success in dealing with people requires a sympathetic grasp on the other person's viewpoint.

00:27:25.780 Nine, be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.

00:27:29.440 People are hungering for sympathy.

00:27:32.740 They want us to recognize all that they desire and feel.

00:27:36.980 If we can sympathize with others, they will appreciate our side as well,

00:27:40.720 and it will often come around to our way of thinking.

00:27:43.680 Now, think of that.

00:27:45.140 When people say, I don't want to know what they're thinking.

00:27:48.160 I don't want to because it's wrong.

00:27:50.780 Well, no, no, no, no.

00:27:52.240 You're looking at the solution.

00:27:55.700 Listen to what they're feeling.

00:28:00.020 What they're feeling is real.

00:28:03.460 Their solution may be bogus, but what they're feeling and think about you.

00:28:10.240 Where is a lot of this anger coming from?

00:28:12.660 This anger is coming from the place where we don't feel heard.

00:28:16.580 If the media would actually listen to us, actually listen to us, our world would be a lot different if they reflected our point of view.

00:28:28.980 And if they would look at us and say, well, that's not racist.

00:28:32.640 Wait a minute.

00:28:32.940 You have to understand what these people are feeling is a loss of the country that they grew up in, a loss of the values that they grew up in.

00:28:42.740 And those were values that have been here for 5,000 years.

00:28:46.660 They're not racist or xenophobic.

00:28:49.540 They're having all of the basic principles shift under their feet.

00:28:54.940 Wouldn't you be more apt to listen to somebody who understood you?

00:29:00.120 Dramatize your ideas.

00:29:05.840 Throw down a challenge.

00:29:07.480 The thing that most motivates people is the game.

00:29:11.340 Everyone desires to excel and prove their worth.

00:29:13.720 If we want someone to do something, we must give them a challenge and they will oftentimes rise to meet it.

00:29:19.420 But be a leader.

00:29:22.340 Don't give offense or arouse resentment.

00:29:25.440 Begin with praise and honest appreciation.

00:29:28.500 Call attention to people's mistakes indirectly.

00:29:32.860 No one likes to make mistakes and no one likes to have others point it out in front of other people.

00:29:38.380 Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the others.

00:29:41.320 Ask a question instead of giving the direct order.

00:29:44.580 Listen to this one.

00:29:45.440 Let the person save faith face.

00:29:48.480 Nothing diminishes the dignity of man quite like an insult to his pride.

00:29:53.460 How many times have we said, for those people who, let's take on our own side.

00:30:00.220 For those people who have been with Donald Trump the whole time, what are you doing?

00:30:05.220 What are you doing?

00:30:06.700 When you have people that are coming, like for instance me or anybody else,

00:30:10.340 when you have people start to come into the tent, why would you say,

00:30:15.060 Well, it's about time.

00:30:17.540 You were so stupid.

00:30:19.600 Why would you do that?

00:30:22.320 Why would you do that?

00:30:24.680 Welcome them.

00:30:26.240 If you have somebody from the other side, well, you've been wrong your whole life. 1.00

00:30:30.320 You know, it's part of your problem that we have these problems.

00:30:32.880 They're not.

00:30:33.380 Stop.

00:30:35.500 They're coming into the tent.

00:30:37.760 Embrace them.

00:30:38.660 Hug them.

00:30:39.480 Oh, man.

00:30:40.460 We're glad you're here.

00:30:43.160 See, this would be the Clinton thing right now is one that I struggle with because, you know.

00:30:47.480 Oh, I know.

00:30:48.100 Where were where was the media?

00:30:49.460 Where was the left during all of these years where Bill Clinton was the same horrible person he is today?

00:30:55.200 Now, finally, after Hillary's lost a couple of times and the family's going, you know, see this.

00:30:59.860 But they set out to pasture.

00:31:01.200 It's OK.

00:31:01.760 But this is, I think, where we miss the boat because we immediately jump to the media and the politicians.

00:31:07.660 They're not honest.

00:31:08.860 Yeah, no, that's true.

00:31:09.580 That's not who I'm talking about.

00:31:11.600 Forgive the media for what they're doing.

00:31:13.480 No, let's point out when they're right.

00:31:15.160 Let's point out when they're wrong.

00:31:16.400 And let's welcome them when they're right, you know, if that ever happens.

00:31:21.340 But it's not we're not talking about them.

00:31:24.040 I'm talking about the people at your table next week.

00:31:27.460 I'm talking about the neighbors.

00:31:29.060 I'm talking about the people that you work with.

00:31:31.440 This is about one on one.

00:31:33.780 This is not about changing the media.

00:31:36.360 This is or Washington.

00:31:38.280 This is about changing the people around you.

00:31:41.720 Yeah, because we do basically the opposite of everything you just described.

00:31:45.620 In the from the book right now, we're doing the opposite of all of it.

00:31:49.040 Everybody does both sides.

00:31:50.820 One side's worse than the other.

00:31:52.500 Yeah.

00:31:53.740 And I don't know.

00:31:54.840 I mean, I think because I definitely handle issues on this show differently than I would

00:31:59.620 handle them with friends.

00:32:01.440 I was trying to convince.

00:32:02.800 No, like if I was trying to convince, you know, because, you know, because we do this for

00:32:07.000 a living.

00:32:07.440 Yeah.

00:32:07.680 When you go out to dinner with anyone, they basically ask you lots of political questions

00:32:12.300 because, you know, that's what you do.

00:32:14.840 You talk about the other person's work.

00:32:16.040 And if the person I'm talking to is not on the same side of the issue as me, I tell them

00:32:23.580 how stupid they are. 0.70

00:32:24.200 I tell them how dumb they are.

00:32:25.280 Morons.

00:32:25.840 No, what's wrong with you?

00:32:26.760 Why are you such a dumbass?

00:32:27.960 I am not reaching for the check when it comes.

00:32:30.620 You try.

00:32:31.380 You do almost all the things you just listed.

00:32:33.240 And I would do.

00:32:33.940 I do those all the time.

00:32:34.900 If you're trying to convince them or at least trying to make them open their mind to the

00:32:39.480 possibility that maybe they're not right, you use those things.

00:32:43.200 Now, when we're on the show, I don't do that.

00:32:45.020 And I think that's a problem.

00:32:46.560 I don't know if it's a problem or not.

00:32:47.680 I'm conflicted with it because part of it is we're talking to an audience largely that

00:32:52.000 understands the basic foundations of what we're talking about, right?

00:32:56.500 Like this audience, generally speaking, is going to know that higher taxes are bad, right?

00:33:02.060 So I don't need to I don't need to slow play that and and and no, but try to convince them

00:33:07.740 of that.

00:33:08.720 No, but here's where we don't do.

00:33:10.900 Why was Rush Limbaugh so popular in the 90s?

00:33:14.220 Because he taught you how to win an argument.

00:33:18.200 OK, and he had to he had to teach you.

00:33:22.220 He wasn't talking about how to finesse it.

00:33:24.820 He was just teaching you the basic principles that we now you say we all have that this audience

00:33:30.740 understands basics, you know, the basic principles.

00:33:33.340 OK, but what we didn't do that was back in the 90s.

00:33:37.600 And that worked because nobody had any of the facts.

00:33:40.940 We needed to have that baseline and we still need to teach people baseline stuff.

00:33:45.300 But now, you know, around 2000, that was over.

00:33:50.520 People people were condemning Rush Limbaugh.

00:33:53.020 And if you said it came from Rush Limbaugh, well, you roll your eyes.

00:33:56.600 Now it's Fox.

00:33:57.380 Anything comes from Fox.

00:33:58.580 They roll your eyes.

00:33:59.400 You used to say you didn't want to put your own names on your books.

00:34:01.900 You didn't want to put Glenn Beck on the book because it was just right.

00:34:04.780 People wouldn't take it seriously if they were correct.

00:34:07.040 Correct.

00:34:07.540 So what we need to do is start teaching people and you can't.

00:34:11.100 Here's lesson number one.

00:34:12.420 Read this book.

00:34:13.980 How to win friends and influence people.

00:34:16.900 Read it.

00:34:17.400 Because it has all of the answers on how we can move forward and actually make a difference, not just politically, but also at the Thanksgiving table next week.

00:34:31.580 One thing you don't want to do is just start calling people morons.

00:34:34.260 By the way, Pat, what's the moron trivia score today?

00:34:36.460 It was 1310 Indianapolis over Tennessee.

00:34:39.480 The morons in Indianapolis beat the morons in Tennessee.

00:34:43.980 Wow.

00:34:44.560 Congratulations.

00:34:44.960 Any spectacular morons today?

00:34:46.900 Yeah, some pretty good ones.

00:34:47.840 Okay, good.

00:34:48.220 We'll hear about those on Monday.

00:34:49.280 Thank you, Pat Gray, for joining us.

00:34:51.220 Pat Gray and Pat Gray Unleashed is a podcast that I listen to every day and you should too.

00:34:59.160 All right.

00:35:00.000 Simply Save Home Security.

00:35:01.160 They've been securing about 2 million homes now for quite some time.

00:35:07.680 They are the fastest growing security company out there.

00:35:11.160 2 million homes and businesses across the country.

00:35:14.660 And the reason why they're growing so fast is because the system, I think, is the best in the business, especially at the price point.

00:35:25.120 When you see the price of this system, you're going to be, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:35:28.720 I think I've been ripped off my entire life.

00:35:32.160 Spoiler alert, you have.

00:35:33.420 Yeah.

00:35:34.560 And the monitoring, which doesn't come with a contract.

00:36:07.540 I'm glad that you've tuned in today.

00:36:10.640 Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a second.

00:36:13.020 We also have something really, really, really cool in our number three.

00:36:20.540 Some stories with some actual people that have no reason to come together.

00:36:27.540 And they would have been enemies had conflict not happened around them.

00:36:34.220 And they came together and were on the same side.

00:36:37.080 And at the end of the battle, they were like, wait a minute.

00:36:40.800 I was here against you.

00:36:43.440 And the other was like, I was here against you.

00:36:45.600 And yet they were on the same side.

00:36:47.040 It's amazing.

00:36:47.960 It's an amazing story we have to share.

00:36:50.740 Also, we are going to be calling somebody else.

00:36:55.980 You know, yesterday we pulled, I don't know, 1,400 names from people who we were trying to say, hey, come on down to Dallas and have dinner with us on Saturday for the M1 gala.

00:37:09.060 And nobody could.

00:37:11.500 All had stuff to do.

00:37:12.700 All had stuff to do.

00:37:13.580 Well, one was Hawaii.

00:37:14.920 But I think the other one was a, it might have been a movie.

00:37:17.360 It might have been a movie.

00:37:18.220 I'm not really sure.

00:37:18.960 It was one movie.

00:37:20.180 There was one person who said they had to rake their leaves.

00:37:22.700 Yeah.

00:37:23.380 Somebody was clipping their toenails, which I thought, okay, this is getting ridiculous.

00:37:26.960 Anyway, we have a winner.

00:37:30.160 We're going to talk to her.

00:37:31.300 I really want you to meet her.

00:37:34.580 And I think you will appreciate her.

00:37:37.900 But I also implore you to go to mercuryone.org.

00:37:42.460 This is our annual fundraiser.

00:37:44.680 And we would ask that you would go to mercuryone.org.

00:37:47.320 See the auction that we're holding, including the only copy of the Gettysburg Address for sale at auction this weekend.

00:37:57.980 Check it out, mercuryone.org.

00:38:02.100 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:38:03.160 And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.

00:38:09.100 And that is the news and why it matters.

00:38:11.980 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

00:38:15.240 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.

00:38:21.680 The news and why it matters.

00:38:22.840 Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

00:38:26.140 All right.

00:38:26.640 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:38:28.180 It is Relief Factor.

00:38:29.980 Yeah.

00:38:30.160 This is we've seen a huge change in Glenn over the years because of Relief Factor, which is good for me, too.

00:38:35.400 It'll help change the lives of people around the person in pain because the person in pain is less annoying.

00:38:41.160 I don't think that's the slogan of Relief Factor.

00:38:43.680 Is it really?

00:38:44.140 Yeah, it is.

00:38:44.680 It's a new one.

00:38:45.260 I came up with it.

00:38:45.760 You'll be able to tolerate the people who are in pain.

00:38:48.600 That is so empathetic of you.

00:38:50.240 Thank you very much.

00:38:51.280 You struggle with this, you know, for a long time.

00:38:53.740 Yeah.

00:38:53.940 And I was at the end of my rope about a year ago, and my wife said, just try it.

00:38:59.080 Just try it.

00:39:00.360 Everybody at work is trying it.

00:39:02.260 And I'm like, it's not going to work.

00:39:05.060 It did.

00:39:06.020 I took it for three weeks.

00:39:07.600 I saw an enormous change, and I haven't stopped taking it since.

00:39:12.700 And that's about what 70% of the people who try it for three weeks.

00:39:16.000 That's about 70% of them do exactly what I did.

00:39:18.840 Oh, my gosh.

00:39:19.360 It works.

00:39:20.400 So take it.

00:39:21.540 Relief Factor.

00:39:22.460 Try it for three weeks.

00:39:23.520 If it doesn't work, you know, you're out 20 bucks in three weeks.

00:39:27.180 If it does work, you get your life back.

00:39:30.040 ReliefFactor.com.

00:39:31.300 That's ReliefFactor.com.

00:39:34.040 Glenn Beck.

00:39:36.020 Mr. Bill O'Reilly, it has been a pretty hectic week, but I don't know the last week that we

00:39:42.860 went, ah, really nothing happened.

00:39:44.960 And I think we should start with your op-ed today, the Trump media war.

00:39:51.360 Okay, Beck, I'm ready to go.

00:39:54.240 Good.

00:39:54.520 Good.

00:39:54.600 Then go.

00:39:56.680 The Trump media war is, I would say, depressing to Americans who are thinking people because

00:40:07.080 it basically signals that there's not going to be any unity in this country while President

00:40:15.020 Trump is holding the office, because neither side is going to back down.

00:40:19.540 All right.

00:40:19.780 But then I took a letter out of my historical collection by Harry Truman, which makes the

00:40:25.560 column really worth reading.

00:40:27.380 And I say, this is nothing new.

00:40:30.260 And Truman just excoriates the media and gives examples about how it was so unfair to Abraham

00:40:38.180 Lincoln and George Washington and other presidents.

00:40:40.760 So it really isn't new.

00:40:42.180 What is new is the machines, the tweets, the hysteria on cable news.

00:40:47.140 All of that is new.

00:40:48.620 But, you know, it seeps into the culture and it makes us a more disagreeable population,

00:40:55.400 Beck.

00:40:55.600 So let me go back, because the first paragraph of your op-ed, which is honestly the only paragraph

00:41:03.660 I read, was about Jim Acosta.

00:41:14.040 So let me go here, because you're absolutely right on this has always been this way.

00:41:21.020 It's just everywhere now, and it's in our own personal life, and we are participating in

00:41:27.520 sharing it now.

00:41:28.460 So it's everywhere.

00:41:29.480 But let me specifically go to Jim Acosta, because I'm really I'm I'm I'm sick of this

00:41:37.540 debate here, I think.

00:41:40.020 And correct me.

00:41:41.220 Tell me where I'm wrong here.

00:41:42.320 I think the president taking away Jim Acosta's pass, White House pass, is justified in this

00:41:53.280 case because Jim Acosta needs somebody should be CNN to say.

00:41:59.480 Jim, there are rules and you can ask a follow up question.

00:42:02.560 It used to always be, sir, I have one question and I'd like a follow up.

00:42:06.260 Yes, go ahead.

00:42:07.540 Then the follow up.

00:42:08.620 He would not stop asking questions.

00:42:11.280 The president answered.

00:42:12.760 He really tried to answer to the best of his ability and peacefully and nice nicely.

00:42:18.340 Jim Acosta really didn't even ask a question.

00:42:20.860 He was just trying to condemn the he was picking a fight with the president.

00:42:24.240 CNN should have said, Jim, stop it.

00:42:28.520 We don't behave that way.

00:42:30.160 And I don't care how the president behaves.

00:42:32.640 We're not going to behave that way.

00:42:35.520 So the question is, is this a freedom of speech issue or freedom of the press issue?

00:42:43.580 I don't think it is.

00:42:45.480 No, it's a quality control issue.

00:42:48.020 On Bill O'Reilly dot com, that's where the column that you refuse to read it.

00:42:52.580 In fact, you're wealthy enough to have people read it to you.

00:42:55.340 Oh, I can't pay people enough.

00:42:56.760 I can't pay people enough to follow you and read it.

00:42:59.700 Oh, they can't do it.

00:43:01.320 They're like, please.

00:43:02.160 The column's on Bill O'Reilly dot com.

00:43:03.440 I mean, yesterday we brought in a guy, a lawyer, former prosecutor, who went down line by line over CNN's complaint and pointed out at least a dozen inaccuracies in the complaint to the federal judge.

00:43:18.740 They were flat out wrong and provable wrong.

00:43:20.920 You could see it with your own eyes.

00:43:22.880 And I said, well, will that influence the judge?

00:43:24.820 If CNN's not telling the truth about Jim Acosta and what happened in the White House briefing room, will that?

00:43:31.720 He said, well, it shouldn't influence the judge's ruling on a constitutional request, but it'll tee off the judge because the judge will see that CNN is lying, which they clearly were in the complaint.

00:43:45.040 So that tells you that CNN has no interest.

00:43:48.080 Give me the give me the lies, because I miss that.

00:43:51.340 And that sounds like the first bill O'Reilly dot com every night.

00:43:55.440 I know. It sounds like the first segment in three years that I've been interested in.

00:43:59.320 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:44:00.380 He's such a jealous guy.

00:44:03.920 He is, Bill. I agree with you.

00:44:04.640 Rub some of that painkiller on your forehead right now, will you?

00:44:08.460 Jeez.

00:44:09.500 Okay, go ahead.

00:44:10.440 Okay.

00:44:11.080 So basically, CNN alleges in its complaint to the federal judge that Acosta simply asked a question.

00:44:19.620 That's lie number one.

00:44:21.140 Yes.

00:44:21.420 It's not what he did.

00:44:22.160 All right.

00:44:22.900 He harangued the president and insinuated that he was lying when he labeled the caravan an invasion.

00:44:31.300 That's not a question.

00:44:32.820 It's an insinuation and a harangue.

00:44:35.320 And everybody knows it.

00:44:37.880 Nobody's going to say it isn't.

00:44:40.280 Even the people at CNN wouldn't say it isn't.

00:44:43.140 No, let's...

00:44:43.540 Yet the management puts that in writing to a federal judge.

00:44:47.640 Come on.

00:44:48.600 It's ridiculous.

00:44:49.620 So, your question was, shouldn't CNN try to rein in its chief White House correspondent from disrupting a national press conference?

00:45:02.060 And the answer is, CNN wants the disruption.

00:45:05.900 It's the only way they're going to get in the news.

00:45:08.540 Their ratings are horrible.

00:45:10.940 And their business model is to destroy the Trump presidency.

00:45:16.020 So, of course, they're going to say, Jim, you know, go on in.

00:45:19.780 CNN's not banned from the White House.

00:45:21.540 They have correspondents that cover the presidential press conference.

00:45:24.540 Just not Acosta.

00:45:26.140 Because he will not obey the rules of decorum.

00:45:30.180 Well, here's the...

00:45:31.320 Let me play devil's advocate.

00:45:33.140 And I do not think this is what's going on.

00:45:35.820 But we have to protect.

00:45:36.940 I don't want a...

00:45:38.940 You know, I wouldn't want, you know, Fox News to have...

00:45:43.360 Who was it?

00:45:43.940 Major Garrett was really good at holding Obama's feet to the fire.

00:45:49.260 Jake Tapper, when he was, I think, with ABC, he was really good at holding...

00:45:53.680 They were the only two that did.

00:45:55.960 And I don't want the...

00:45:56.900 Hang on.

00:45:57.740 Hang on.

00:45:58.400 Just hype down for a second, man.

00:46:01.820 So...

00:46:02.300 For...

00:46:03.100 I don't want the president to be able to say,

00:46:05.240 I don't like the fact that he asked me tough questions.

00:46:08.300 What I want is they have to be respectful.

00:46:12.220 And those guys were.

00:46:13.400 They were always respectful of the president and the office.

00:46:17.240 That's not what's happening with Jim Acosta.

00:46:19.560 If he were asking questions, tough questions,

00:46:23.220 he would have every right to do it.

00:46:25.380 And I would celebrate.

00:46:26.320 And I would stand behind his right to ask the toughest questions.

00:46:30.080 But that's not what he's doing.

00:46:31.920 But it's obvious it's not what he's doing.

00:46:35.260 And the White House denying him the press pass was not based on editorial content.

00:46:42.920 It was based on behavior.

00:46:45.700 He was misbehaving in their opinion, in the White House opinion.

00:46:51.460 So now the judge has to make that termination.

00:46:54.100 I have to say, was it the banishment of Acosta based on his behavior?

00:47:00.080 Or was it an editorial statement?

00:47:02.920 And I think it's clear.

00:47:04.560 Clear.

00:47:05.520 That it was behavior.

00:47:07.500 Bill, you mean...

00:47:08.140 We'll see if the judge, who is a Trump appointee, comes back today and gives CNN relief.

00:47:15.080 All CNN is asking for today is a restraining order against banning Acosta, not the whole decision.

00:47:24.000 But what the judge will say is yes or no, you have to give him the pass back, which...

00:47:29.460 Why did he ask for an extra day?

00:47:31.160 I don't know.

00:47:33.980 I believe that this is obviously the judge's big moment in the spotlight.

00:47:41.000 And he wants to probably go over his decision, every word of it, because he knows he's going to get hammered either way.

00:47:48.820 Whatever his decision is, the judge is going to get hammered.

00:47:51.180 So he wants to go over a little more time and just get the wording correct.

00:47:54.560 That's speculation, but that's what I would surmise.

00:47:57.160 Bill, separate from the actual court proceedings, because you said something, and I think I totally agree with it, which is CNN wants the disruption.

00:48:05.760 This is the way they're making news.

00:48:07.640 You know, Jim Acosta doesn't care about the truth.

00:48:09.680 Jim Acosta wants to be a star.

00:48:11.380 He wants to make...

00:48:12.660 He wants to put himself and elevate himself to the level of a fight with the president of the United States.

00:48:17.200 My question is, just strategically, from the Trump administration's standpoint, doesn't this elevate him and put him on this platform where it's Trump versus Acosta, and it's giving Acosta everything he wants to be a martyr for the First Amendment?

00:48:32.740 Well, Trump sees it differently in the sense that Trump wants to build a wall, not only to keep out migrants on the southern border, but against criticism from the national press.

00:48:45.380 And part of the wall is convincing Americans that the press will never report accurately on him.

00:48:52.420 And look at this guy.

00:48:54.320 Look at him.

00:48:55.520 So the Trump administration believes that Acosta's aggression helps them by diminishing the press in general.

00:49:05.220 And, you know, I'll tell you what, if you look at the surveys about Americans and how they feel about the American media, they're down there in the 30s now.

00:49:14.440 They don't trust them.

00:49:15.260 They don't like them.

00:49:16.480 So this could be something to that.

00:49:19.000 So that's why Trump is doing it.

00:49:20.780 Why did Fox take the stand with CNN?

00:49:23.660 Well, that's an excellent question, Beck.

00:49:27.720 Of course it is.

00:49:28.420 It came from me.

00:49:29.520 I know.

00:49:30.140 A guy who doesn't read the research material before he interviews.

00:49:33.340 Oh, you know I read every word of that damn thing.

00:49:36.520 I had to take no-dos to get through it.

00:49:40.300 I know, Beck.

00:49:41.780 Beck, this is an evaluation on the Glenn Beck radio program based upon my knowledge of what is happening at FNC.

00:49:53.480 Okay.

00:49:55.100 Regime change.

00:49:56.900 That happened when Roger Ailes left the company.

00:50:00.200 Now the new people are not of the same mindset of Mr. Ailes.

00:50:07.580 All right?

00:50:07.880 That's number one.

00:50:09.020 So there has been a change, a shift.

00:50:11.800 And the shift has basically been we have to become more mainstream, not more liberal, all right, but more mainstream.

00:50:19.900 We have a powerful brand.

00:50:22.360 We have a loyal audience.

00:50:25.260 And now we have to get closer to the other national media.

00:50:30.980 That's what we want to do.

00:50:32.380 That is the strategy.

00:50:34.420 That won't work.

00:50:36.000 Okay.

00:50:36.640 Well, maybe not.

00:50:37.660 Well, I mean, what is mainstream?

00:50:38.940 Why they did what they did.

00:50:41.000 Right.

00:50:41.160 But what does mainstream mean?

00:50:43.840 We want to be closer to the mainstream mean.

00:50:45.680 They want to be in the club.

00:50:46.960 They'll never be in the club.

00:50:48.840 Well, we celebrated when you and I were there.

00:50:51.940 We celebrated the fact that we were not in the club.

00:50:54.900 Correct.

00:50:55.000 We enjoyed the maverick status.

00:50:57.800 Yes.

00:50:58.140 Which propelled Fox News to the top of the news ratings.

00:51:03.160 Right.

00:51:03.700 That attitude, like, we don't care about the corrupt media because we know they're not telling the truth.

00:51:09.400 And we're happy we're not in that club.

00:51:12.060 That has changed.

00:51:13.100 The day that Fox News fires their entire primetime lineup and to replace it with Shep Smith is the day they would consider, consider allowing Fox News into the club for about two days.

00:51:30.880 Well, that's true.

00:51:32.540 I mean, Fox News is so demonized by the far left that no matter what it does.

00:51:38.120 Yeah.

00:51:38.600 But Fox News does not want to be criticized by the Washington Post and the New York Times and CNN.

00:51:44.560 So they said, OK, well, we'll throw in with the freedom of peace, freedom of press movement, and we'll file an amicus brief.

00:51:54.260 And maybe that'll send a signal that we want to be friends.

00:51:59.500 We want to be friends with you guys.

00:52:02.340 OK, so, Bill O'Reilly, when we come back, I want to talk to you a little bit about the border and what is happening.

00:52:07.280 And something I actually heard today driving in on, I don't remember what it was, some liberal podcast that I was listening to driving in.

00:52:18.980 And they said, you'll notice that the left is or the right is not even talking about the border.

00:52:24.620 They don't even care about the border.

00:52:25.860 They've dropped that.

00:52:26.920 No, no, no.

00:52:27.380 We're talking about it.

00:52:28.620 We're very concerned about it.

00:52:30.020 In fact, I'm wondering what the president is going to be doing about this now.

00:52:34.620 So we go to the caravan.

00:52:37.280 And Mexico and how Mexico has provided police escorts to our border.

00:52:45.080 When Bill O'Reilly comes back, by the way, Bill O'Reilly, new book, Killing the SS.

00:52:49.900 I tell him I haven't read it, but I've read every word of it and it's fantastic.

00:52:54.880 It is a great book, Killing the SS.

00:52:58.340 All right.

00:52:58.960 Our sponsor this half hour is X chair.

00:53:15.040 And when we're, you know, if you're in charge of buying the office furniture, you know, you're just looking at the price of everything and you're just like, okay, I'll just take, you know, X number of these.

00:53:24.360 And we have to consider more than just the price.

00:53:30.400 We have to consider also people are spending more time in their chair than they do usually in bed.

00:53:36.300 And the chairs can get really uncomfortable.

00:53:39.860 Now, you don't have to go out and spend a whole bunch of money, a buttload of money on a great chair.

00:53:43.580 The X chair is here and it makes the perfect gift for a hardworking employee or a spouse.

00:53:49.780 And also, if you're looking for office chairs, this is a great, great office chair.

00:53:56.500 It's one that you kind of sit in and you're like, yeah, this, I deserve this chair.

00:54:01.260 And it is not crazy expensive by any stretch.

00:54:06.760 Don't go out to Staples and buy another chair.

00:54:09.880 If you need a good office chair, X chair, X chair.

00:54:14.260 Now, they're offering two new colors for the holidays, red and white.

00:54:21.340 What does that mean?

00:54:22.100 We have to come up with something that people can be pissed at about the red and white thing.

00:55:04.340 I am here.

00:55:06.860 Thank you.

00:55:07.840 That was just doing a roll call.

00:55:11.680 Bill, you know, I enjoy our talks.

00:55:14.680 I hope so.

00:55:15.560 Beck, I mean, you know, I mean, you learn, you learn and you cannot do it.

00:55:22.040 He cannot do it.

00:55:22.980 He can't.

00:55:23.460 He is incapable of saying, you know, me, too.

00:55:25.860 Me, too.

00:55:27.320 Well, I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it.

00:55:30.060 OK, so, Bill.

00:55:31.340 Yeah.

00:55:31.600 Talk to me a little bit about the border and what's happening.

00:55:35.740 Well, first of all, you know, we were told that it was mostly women and babies and children marching to the border.

00:55:43.300 Remember, we were told that.

00:55:44.240 Yes. And then we were told that they're never even going to make it to the border.

00:55:48.560 Right.

00:55:48.880 So now the latest pictures from San Diego sector, where it seems that most of the migrants are going, have baby carriages on top of the wall.

00:56:01.540 Did you see that?

00:56:02.320 No, I didn't.

00:56:03.380 It's weird.

00:56:03.940 I'm seeing like 20 year old guys.

00:56:06.180 It's weird.

00:56:06.880 Oh, I thought I saw a baby carriage.

00:56:09.440 Right.

00:56:09.760 No.

00:56:10.360 On top of that 10 foot wall.

00:56:12.080 Yeah, no.

00:56:13.200 And then go.

00:56:14.020 Let me in.

00:56:15.620 Let me in.

00:56:17.540 OK, so number one, Americans should know that all of the reporting on this situation has been a giant lie and a ruse.

00:56:27.480 So what has happened is that this organization, Pueblos and Frontieras, received a grant of anywhere from 10 to 20 million dollars.

00:56:39.780 All right.

00:56:40.500 Organized these people in Honduras and other countries to come here.

00:56:45.000 Where did the grant of 20 million dollars come from?

00:56:47.720 It came from the usual suspects, the far left crews that fund all of the open border stuff.

00:56:54.220 In Hungary, a law was passed against George Soros specifically.

00:57:01.920 The law says anyone giving money to aid illegal immigration into Hungary will be charged with a felony.

00:57:10.640 Did you know that?

00:57:12.080 Yeah, I did.

00:57:12.880 I did.

00:57:13.560 That passed the parliament in Hungary.

00:57:15.880 That is a law.

00:57:17.020 They call it the anti-Soros law.

00:57:19.520 Unless you're on the left and they call it the anti-Semitic law.

00:57:25.280 Yeah, you know, but it's I know.

00:57:27.220 I know.

00:57:28.360 OK.

00:57:29.040 So anyway, the goal is to break to break the asylum system in America, to crash it. 0.75

00:57:37.980 That's why you're seeing record numbers of families coming across the border and being detained.

00:57:42.020 They're being told, the migrants in Central America and in migrants, if you get here with your children, you get in.

00:57:49.080 And that's largely true, as there is a three-year backlog to hear asylum cases, soon to be four years, if any of these thousands of people get in and ask for asylum.

00:58:00.960 So that is a strategy.

00:58:02.660 People should know the overall strategy of this.

00:58:04.840 It's to break the system apart so that anybody could come here and ask for asylum and their case won't be heard for six years.

00:58:14.740 Meantime, they're released into America.

00:58:18.060 And there is another thing going on.

00:58:19.640 I don't know if anybody picked this up.

00:58:21.200 In the trial of El Chapo, currently underway here in New York, he is the cartel kingpin.

00:58:28.440 There are allegations being made that the president of Mexico, Nieto, was being paid by El Chapo.

00:58:35.680 What a shock.

00:58:36.480 Yeah, not a shock at all.

00:58:37.920 All right.

00:58:38.240 El Chapo, not only a drug dealer, but a people smuggler.

00:58:42.100 OK.

00:58:42.880 So now we have that.

00:58:44.500 And now the new president, coming into power in about three weeks, has said, I'm going to legalize all drugs in Mexico.

00:58:52.300 I'm going to make them legal.

00:58:53.720 Oh, that'll be good.

00:58:54.540 That'll be good for America. 0.92

00:58:55.560 So that's another reason.

00:58:57.800 And Trump hasn't picked up on this, which is amazing to me, because that's another big argument for the wall.

00:59:04.080 So you're going to have legalized narcotics, not pot, legalized poppy fields, heroin labs, everything.

00:59:13.300 And you don't want a wall?

00:59:15.360 OK.

00:59:16.060 All right.

00:59:16.520 We're going to pick it up there with Bill O'Reilly, because honestly, that kind of takes the Al Capone out of the booze business.

00:59:26.880 But I want to hear Bill's opinion on that when we come back.

00:59:31.040 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:59:32.840 I've been sleeping on my Casper mattress for a while, and I would pick it over any mattress that I have ever had.

00:59:42.260 In fact, I did pick it.

00:59:44.320 I bought it, sent it to my house.

00:59:47.200 I tried it for, I think, five days.

00:59:49.700 I actually was honest, which I don't know if everybody appreciates this, but I said, I'm not sure I like it.

00:59:56.240 Well, it took me a few more days before I really started to have my body settle down.

01:00:00.200 I love this bed.

01:00:02.160 It is Casper.

01:00:03.520 It's a no-brainer.

01:00:04.340 All you have to do is just order it and try it for 100 nights.

01:00:08.240 If you don't have the experience that I have, they come and pick it up, and they refund every single dime.

01:00:13.100 So put Casper to the test in your home.

01:00:16.160 The only way to test a mattress is by sleeping on it night after night, risk-free, for 100 nights.

01:00:22.280 Casper.com slash Glenn, and use the promo code G-L-E-N-N.

01:00:26.180 That'll get you $50 towards the purchase of your brand-new mattress at Casper.com slash Glenn.

01:00:40.540 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:00:42.680 Bill, some news just broke that the judge has sided with CNN on...

01:00:48.340 Yeah, I see it.

01:00:49.260 Yeah.

01:00:50.160 Your thoughts?

01:00:51.560 Well, you're so lucky to have me here.

01:00:53.140 I know I am.

01:00:53.760 It'll be interesting to see if the White House appeals, because basically the judge is saying,

01:01:00.400 and this is Timothy J. Kelly, you can be rude, you can be disruptive, and he says it.

01:01:06.980 All right?

01:01:07.380 You can do whatever you want and not lose your credentials.

01:01:11.720 That doesn't make any sense.

01:01:13.060 So, okay.

01:01:15.780 That doesn't make any sense.

01:01:16.660 Yeah.

01:01:18.020 Well, certainly, he will be overturned, I think, by the Supreme Court.

01:01:23.980 And, you know, if they appeal it to the liberal appeals court in D.C., they'll lose.

01:01:29.220 But if they want to bring it to the Supreme Court, they'd win.

01:01:34.420 No doubt, in my mind, they'd win.

01:01:35.940 But the other way to handle it is, all right, Acasa, you know, here's your press pass back,

01:01:41.680 and never mention him again, never recognize him, never call on him, just freeze him.

01:01:47.180 So what do you do then?

01:01:48.200 Then if he disrupts the press conference, if he, like, says, Iowa, my question, you haven't

01:01:52.640 called on me or whatever, then you can say, thank you, ladies and gentlemen, we'll see

01:01:56.540 you soon, and walk off the stage.

01:01:58.460 He won't do that.

01:01:59.260 You know, you could do that.

01:02:00.800 You could do the passive-aggressive thing and just ice them.

01:02:05.480 Or you could try for the big, you know, kahuna and have the Supreme Court say, no, the government

01:02:12.840 does have a right on its own property to regulate disruptive behavior, not editorial behavior.

01:02:19.460 There's nobody in their right mind.

01:02:21.460 You cannot run a society.

01:02:25.060 There is no civilization without being civil.

01:02:27.780 That's right, without rules.

01:02:28.980 Right, so, I mean, this doesn't make any sense at all.

01:02:32.060 You cannot just act any way you want.

01:02:35.620 The Trump administration, the first thing they have to do is make some rules and distribute

01:02:40.960 the rules.

01:02:41.740 They don't have those now.

01:02:43.420 That's a problem.

01:02:44.040 But again, if they did, then they'd sue on that.

01:02:47.360 Well, you mean, they're limiting our access to the president and limiting what we can do

01:02:50.820 or what we can't do.

01:02:51.880 Bad ruling.

01:02:54.340 What are you going to do?

01:02:55.340 This is our democracy.

01:02:57.100 This is the way we do it.

01:02:58.060 But the Trump administration has a couple of avenues to go if they want them.

01:03:02.340 Let me go back to the border.

01:03:04.020 You say that the new incoming president of Mexico says he's going to legalize all drugs.

01:03:11.080 Doesn't this take the Al Capone out of the...

01:03:16.800 No.

01:03:17.920 All it does is cut the overhead for the cartel so they don't have to bribe as many Mexicans

01:03:23.260 and hire as many gunmen and shoot at the police and the army.

01:03:27.220 Wait, but you don't have to shoot at the police if it's legal.

01:03:29.580 I know.

01:03:30.040 That's who it cuts their overhead. 0.95

01:03:31.940 So they don't have to spend that.

01:03:33.920 All right?

01:03:34.400 And it only goes, oh, thanks.

01:03:35.780 Where do they make their money back?

01:03:37.860 Not Guadalajara, not Mexico City.

01:03:40.480 They make their money in Chicago, New York, L.A., and all American cities.

01:03:44.180 So it just makes it easier for them to bundle up their product and send it El Norte.

01:03:50.360 This is the best thing that could possibly happen to the cartels.

01:03:54.380 So what does that mean for America and our policy?

01:03:59.640 It means we have twice as many hard drugs here as we have.

01:04:01.320 No, no.

01:04:01.380 I mean our policies.

01:04:02.500 Our policies.

01:04:03.340 For instance, I'm done with Mexico. 0.99

01:04:06.620 When they escorted those buses, they escorted the buses with federales to our border.

01:04:15.220 That's not what a partner does.

01:04:16.860 They're doing that to protect the migrants from, you know, people who would beat them up and rape them.

01:04:22.300 Right.

01:04:22.720 I've been done with Mexico for a long time. 1.00

01:04:25.360 And I did go down there in the spring to Baja.

01:04:29.380 And I did some reporting down there about how they were handling their military and dispersing them to fight the cartels.

01:04:37.060 That's all gone.

01:04:38.300 But now the argument for a border wall becomes even stronger when you say, okay, so now we have a free fire zone in Mexico.

01:04:46.140 They can do anything they want in hard drugs.

01:04:50.240 So we've got to make it harder for them to get it into America. 0.86

01:04:52.900 No.

01:04:53.760 And they still, the liberals still wouldn't put the wall because eventually they want legalized hard drugs here. 0.67

01:05:01.140 You know, it's interesting.

01:05:01.840 I'm watching, switching back on the TV, Fox News is ignoring the ruling.

01:05:07.580 I know they are.

01:05:08.380 They're ignoring it.

01:05:10.000 And CNN is having a limbo party.

01:05:13.740 Limbo lower now.

01:05:15.120 This is so funny.

01:05:19.900 You know, how this whole media thing is now based on Trump.

01:05:28.120 Everything, 100% of it is Trump.

01:05:30.620 They don't have anything else.

01:05:31.860 They're going to have to run Andy Griffith reruns if Trump, you know, takes a vacation for two weeks.

01:05:37.280 They don't have anything.

01:05:39.440 Go ahead.

01:05:40.060 Bill, let me change subjects here.

01:05:43.100 You know, I do a, I run a charity as you run yours.

01:05:47.420 And this weekend we're having an auction to raise funds.

01:05:51.500 And I just wanted to bring a couple of things to your attention because I know you, you collect, you know, rare, rare writings.

01:05:59.560 We are, we've formed a partnership with the Lincoln Museum in, in Illinois.

01:06:07.920 And they're the ones who have the original Gettysburg address.

01:06:11.380 And as you may know, there's only Abraham Lincoln made a copy of it.

01:06:16.720 And there are no other copies.

01:06:18.600 This, we have asked them, and shockingly they said yes, if they would make a high-res certified copy off of the original.

01:06:31.200 So it's the only copy of the handwritten Gettysburg address that we know of that is, you know, up for auction and in existence.

01:06:42.960 And I just wanted to bring it to your attention that, you know, the biddings.

01:06:47.200 Are they going to make a lot of copies or just one?

01:06:49.500 No, this is it.

01:06:50.460 This is it.

01:06:51.320 Are they going to make one high-res?

01:06:53.280 This is it.

01:06:53.860 I'm holding it right now.

01:06:55.560 This is the only copy that they have ever made and they will make.

01:07:00.940 I might bid on that deck.

01:07:03.620 So can I, can I put you down for a number?

01:07:06.280 Well, what do you have now?

01:07:07.400 $3 million.

01:07:08.260 That's what you have.

01:07:08.700 No, the bidding, I don't even know.

01:07:11.320 Do we have a bid on this yet?

01:07:14.920 Yeah, but he's going to, I got to nail him down to a price now.

01:07:18.020 What kind of, what do you know the number?

01:07:22.120 $15,000 is the opening bid there, Bill.

01:07:25.240 You just tripled that at least.

01:07:27.080 Huh?

01:07:27.780 All right, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go $20,000.

01:07:31.460 You go $20,000?

01:07:32.920 Yep.

01:07:33.120 For Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

01:07:34.480 Wow.

01:07:35.020 Wow.

01:07:35.480 Nice work, Bill.

01:07:36.400 What a guy.

01:07:37.340 What a guy.

01:07:37.920 I am, I am a swell guy.

01:07:39.000 You really are.

01:07:39.560 You're a great guy and you've just bought something that Glenn wrote down with a pencil

01:07:43.220 a half hour before the show started.

01:07:47.920 You know, I'll frame it and put it in my garage.

01:07:51.560 Next to a picture of Beck.

01:07:52.900 Bill O'Reilly.

01:07:53.640 Next to a picture of Beck forging this, by the way.

01:07:55.420 If you do, I'd like to have that.

01:07:58.220 All right, Bill, thank you so much.

01:07:59.640 God bless you.

01:08:00.360 Thank you.

01:08:00.760 All right, happy Thanksgiving to all you guys.

01:08:03.240 And check out Killing the SS.

01:08:06.020 Great gift for anybody who likes history for Hanukkah, Christmas, and all of that.

01:08:10.220 It is a great book.

01:08:11.100 Thank you so much, Bill.

01:08:11.980 Appreciate it.

01:08:12.360 All right, guys.

01:08:12.920 Cheers.

01:08:14.140 I want to show, if you happen to be watching us, I want to show you something else that

01:08:19.340 is up for auction tomorrow.

01:08:21.040 It is directly behind Stu.

01:08:22.460 Can we get a camera on that by any chance?

01:08:24.820 It is directly behind Stu.

01:08:26.760 This is, I think this is one of my favorite pieces that we have in our museum collection.

01:08:31.160 This, again, is a high-resolution copy.

01:08:34.580 But this is the first draft of the Declaration of Independence.

01:08:39.320 And this is truly remarkable because you can see Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams.

01:08:49.540 They all signed where they changed things.

01:08:53.280 They were making, it's like a Google Doc where you change things and then you have to say who changed it and why and when.

01:09:04.100 And then Thomas Jefferson would go back and click on the change if he approved it.

01:09:09.080 And it is remarkable because it has on the third page, Thomas Jefferson, his handwriting changes.

01:09:20.180 He capitalizes the word men.

01:09:23.100 The only words that are capitalized in the Declaration of Independence are United States of America.

01:09:29.040 And in this copy, the word men.

01:09:33.500 And it's not all men are created equal.

01:09:35.680 It's when he's talking about the slave trade and how this Christian king is enslaving people and then selling capital letters men. 0.92

01:09:45.740 And how he is violating the most basic of rights of men from a different continent by bringing them over on this hemisphere. 1.00

01:09:58.400 It's truly a remarkable piece.

01:10:00.840 This is taken from the original engraving from, I think it was done in 1820 or 1830.

01:10:07.620 Uh, and this also is, is opening up.

01:10:11.640 I think, I think this one has a starting bit of like 2000 or $2,500.

01:10:15.920 I mean, the frame is worth more than that.

01:10:18.480 Um, but it is, it's exceptional.

01:10:21.520 It's just exceptional.

01:10:22.800 So if you would like to bid on that or any of the other things that we have up for auction, you can go now and look at what we have up for auction, including, you know, you're spending the day with, uh, with, uh, David Barton.

01:10:36.780 And you're going to our vault, our document vault with wall builders.

01:10:41.720 Uh, and I mean, he'll see things you've never seen before.

01:10:46.000 Uh, there's up for auction, uh, a day with me, uh, where we can do anything from, uh, learn to paint.

01:10:53.860 Cause I'm taking painting classes, uh, to, uh, uh, just going through our vaults up here too, as well.

01:10:59.860 Didn't we already go through this?

01:11:01.400 You tried to give away a day with you and people kept rejecting it.

01:11:04.420 I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think an auction is going to be a successful, well, you know, you know, I'm just saying maybe, do you think about just bidding on it yourself to spare the embarrassment?

01:11:15.960 Is there something bidding does start at $10 on that one?

01:11:18.980 I'm just, uh, I mean, you might just saying there's also a Chuck Norris, a tribute Henry rifle to him, uh, and, uh, a chance to go to his gala.

01:11:31.220 You have a VIP gala experience with, with Chuck Norris and be able to go, um, uh, down there and, and spend the day with him or the evening with him.

01:11:39.740 It's, it's really amazing.

01:11:41.120 One of the things I really like is learn how to shoot or sharpen your skills with Navy SEALs, Dave Lopez and Ephraim Matos.

01:11:51.420 Now these two guys are unbelievable Navy SEALs.

01:11:57.080 Can you imagine going to the range with two Navy SEALs who are going to spend the day teaching you how to shoot?

01:12:01.600 Oh my gosh.

01:12:02.840 That's really cool.

01:12:03.920 I mean, I've, I've done it with Marcus Luttrell.

01:12:05.920 Marcus Luttrell could change the way I shot in about three minutes.

01:12:11.840 He's like, go shoot.

01:12:13.200 And I shot and he's like, okay, dummy, here you go.

01:12:16.320 This is how you actually do it.

01:12:17.640 This is how you do it.

01:12:18.200 First of all, uh, you got the gun pointed in the wrong direction, but, uh, uh, these guys can, I mean, they are pros at this obviously, and they will change the way you shoot.

01:12:28.120 Anyway, all of these things make great Christmas gifts and all of the proceeds go to help Mercury one do the things that we do, uh, which is be there for natural disasters and disasters here in the United States.

01:12:42.840 And to help free slaves all around the world.

01:12:47.260 So if you would like to go to mercury one.org.

01:12:50.400 Also, if you just have a hundred bucks and you'd like to donate it, may I suggest you donate it, but, but, but buy a raffle ticket.

01:13:14.020 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:13:15.820 It's American financing.

01:13:16.880 Uh, if you're having a financial problems, uh, you might be solicited by a credit repair service to settle your debts for less.

01:13:25.360 But if that happens, uh, that goes against your, your credit score and you're paying all kinds of fees to the settlement company and taxes on the debt you write off, et cetera, et cetera.

01:13:36.040 There is a better way.

01:13:37.560 And that is a consolidation loan.

01:13:40.720 When you have consolidation loans, you, you move everything that you owe into a loan that, that pays everybody off.

01:13:48.860 And then you have a lower payment so you can get all of this behind you.

01:13:53.620 It actually helps your credit score because you're paying off all of your debt.

01:13:58.360 Your credit's not going to take a hit.

01:14:00.480 And because you're now making a payment that you can afford, your credit score actually goes up because you're making loan payments and you're staying on time and not getting behind.

01:14:10.940 Get started today on debt consolidation.

01:14:14.000 It's American financing.

01:14:15.840 If you own your own home and you have any equity in it at all, you may be qualified for this.

01:14:21.760 It'll take you 10 minutes and it could save you 500 to a thousand dollars a month.

01:14:25.180 That's $12,000 a year.

01:14:27.720 Call American financing at 800-906-2440.

01:14:31.500 That's 800-906-2440.

01:14:51.520 Are you dreading that awkward Thanksgiving dinner conversation that inevitably turns to politics?

01:14:56.380 Hey, Susan, could you pass the brown gravy, please?

01:14:58.200 I don't know, Ted.

01:14:59.260 Can it cross your wall of bread without being turned back?

01:15:02.680 Don't get trapped.

01:15:05.860 By reading Glenn Beck's new book, Addicted to Outrage.

01:15:08.940 And you might want to pick up a couple of extra copies for your less enlightened family members.

01:15:12.920 You know, immigrants built this country.

01:15:14.480 Oh, I'm going to vomit.

01:15:16.100 Addicted to Outrage.

01:15:17.280 The new book from Glenn Beck.

01:15:18.780 Available everywhere books are sold.

01:15:20.040 So, Michael Little is joining us.

01:15:23.040 He is actually, who happened to be here for the event tomorrow for Mercury One.

01:15:29.680 He's the COO of the Lincoln Museum and Library up in Illinois, which is this amazing museum that has preserved everything from Abraham Lincoln or as much as they could get their hands on.

01:15:40.460 And I just got a $20,000 bid from Bill O'Reilly.

01:15:44.060 Fantastic.

01:15:44.900 Thank you.

01:15:45.440 Now, he asked, is this the only copy that you guys have made and will make?

01:15:50.120 Yes.

01:15:50.560 So, this is the only copy that we've ever made.

01:15:53.160 And I can guarantee this will be the only copy that we'll make.

01:15:57.060 So, this is the original Gettysburg Address.

01:16:01.300 We don't know where it is.

01:16:02.700 Yeah.

01:16:02.920 The original Gettysburg Address was given to a reporter, apparently from New York City, right after the speech.

01:16:11.340 And that reporter, the story is, didn't think that the speech would be worth much and just kind of threw it away.

01:16:17.720 Oh, my gosh.

01:16:19.300 So, that's the one he wrote on the way there.

01:16:22.260 Correct.

01:16:22.660 And he was walking off the stage and just handed it to him?

01:16:25.140 And he just handed it to him.

01:16:26.860 Oh, my gosh.

01:16:27.300 And then this one is your copy that only is allowed to see the light of day for three days a year to keep it vibrant.

01:16:37.840 And this was the one Abraham Lincoln wrote for the guy who gave the two-hour speech.

01:16:43.540 Yeah, so, yeah, so, Everett, who was the main speaker that day that got up and gave about a two-and-a-half-hour speech shortly after this event,

01:16:54.100 asked President Lincoln if he would write him a copy of the Gettysburg Address.

01:16:59.360 And this is the only one that has God, under God in it.

01:17:02.020 Correct.

01:17:02.580 So, this is a remarkable thing.

01:17:04.140 At least see it online.

01:17:05.260 It goes up for auction tomorrow, and all of the proceeds go to Mercury One.

01:17:11.460 And I think we're actually helping you guys on this as well because you're helping us.

01:17:17.720 I think the Lincoln Museum and Library up in Illinois is so critical to continue their work.

01:17:25.660 Help.

01:17:26.400 MercuryOne.org slash M1 Ball.

01:17:29.220 Mercury.

01:17:32.600 Glenn Beck.

01:17:35.260 A few months ago, I had a guy walk into my office with his team, and he said,

01:17:48.080 we're really concerned about the country, and we're concerned about the fact that we're not talking to each other anymore.

01:17:56.880 And I said, wow, me too.

01:18:00.460 He said, I know.

01:18:01.220 That's why we're here.

01:18:01.900 Now, this is a guy who probably had people advising him, no, I wouldn't go talk to Glenn Beck.

01:18:14.180 I don't know that.

01:18:15.280 But that would be my general impression.

01:18:18.440 He took probably some personal hits saying that he was going to go talk to Glenn Beck.

01:18:24.680 And he asked me at the time, could you help get your audience to participate in something?

01:18:34.840 Because without your audience, this won't work.

01:18:37.920 Without the people who are in the middle of America and who are not thinking like the, you know, NPR listener, if you will. 0.94

01:18:50.400 If they don't participate, this doesn't work.

01:18:55.440 And what they're trying to do is, A, record the voices of people and how people feel right now and what they're really thinking.

01:19:05.100 But more importantly, they're trying to bring people together that society would say have nothing in common, but they find their way to each other and to record it.

01:19:19.460 If you've ever listened to NPR, you might have heard something called StoryCorps, which is really a fantastic record of our society, an audio record of our society.

01:19:34.020 And really, only the people who listen to NPR kind of know it.

01:19:37.700 The conservatives don't.

01:19:39.060 And it is tremendous.

01:19:40.860 But our voices are being left out.

01:19:43.640 Dave Issey is with us.

01:19:45.100 He's the founder and president of StoryCorps.

01:19:47.280 Welcome to the program, Dave.

01:19:48.980 Hey, Glenn.

01:19:49.820 Thanks for having me.

01:19:50.640 You bet.

01:19:51.080 Now, did I describe what you're doing and how you approach this accurately?

01:20:00.020 Yeah.

01:20:00.380 I mean, just to wind back for your audience, StoryCorps started 15 years ago.

01:20:06.420 And it's a real simple idea.

01:20:07.480 We put a booth just to start out in Grand Central Terminal, where you bring anyone you want to honor by listening to their story, a parent, a friend, a kid.

01:20:15.820 And you come to this booth, and you're met by a facilitator who works for StoryCorps.

01:20:20.320 And you go inside the booth.

01:20:21.340 The door shuts.

01:20:22.080 You're in a silent space.

01:20:24.640 Lights are low.

01:20:25.500 And you sit across from your grandmother, and you talk to her for 40 minutes.

01:20:28.800 And you know that the microphone gives you the license to talk about things you never usually get to talk about.

01:20:34.260 So many people think of it as if I had 40 minutes left to live, what would I say to this person who means so much to me?

01:20:39.980 At the end of the 40 minutes, you get a copy, and another stays with us, and it goes to the Library of Congress so your great, great, great, great grandkids can get to know your grandmother through her voice and story.

01:20:50.000 So it's really about the poetry and the grace and the beauty and the eloquence and the stories kind of hiding in plain sight all around us when we take the time to listen.

01:20:58.980 It started as this kind of crazy idea, and we've now had about half a million people participate.

01:21:03.180 So it's the largest collection of human voices ever gathered.

01:21:06.180 And because of the nature of what happens in the booth, we're kind of just collecting the wisdom of humanity.

01:21:11.140 It's about, you know, no matter where you are, it's always the great themes of human existence that come out in StoryCorps.

01:21:18.560 People talk about their parents and their kids and, you know, death and what they dream of for their future, how they want to be remembered.

01:21:27.140 And we did.

01:21:28.200 Go ahead.

01:21:28.660 I was just going to say, and when you're recording it and you know this is for history, you take things a little more seriously.

01:21:37.160 Yeah.

01:21:37.700 I mean, I think it's – my people kind of hate me saying this, but it reminds us of our mortality.

01:21:45.700 You know, it really kind of shakes you on the shoulder and says, like, you know, life is important.

01:21:50.140 Ignore some of the – all the nonsense that's coming in, you know, and it forces you to focus on what really matters to you.

01:21:56.020 So it's a very kind of intense experience.

01:21:58.840 We're a nonprofit, and we think of it as, you know, we treat it as if it's a sacred experience in people's lives.

01:22:05.040 And often it is because, you know, like I did a StoryCorps interview with my dad many years ago, and then he died, you know, very suddenly.

01:22:11.840 And, you know, the night that he died, I listened to it for the first time.

01:22:15.940 And I have young kids, and I knew this was going to be the way they were going to get to know my dad.

01:22:23.400 And, you know, I thought I couldn't believe in StoryCorps any more deeply than I already did, but that night is, you know, when the rubber really hits the road.

01:22:30.400 It's who he is.

01:22:31.980 You know this very well from all the radio work you've done.

01:22:34.920 The soul is kind of contained in the voice.

01:22:37.100 So it's a no-nonsense.

01:22:38.660 It's the opposite of reality TV.

01:22:40.460 No one comes to get rich.

01:22:41.660 No one comes to get famous.

01:22:42.700 It's just about love, you know.

01:22:44.820 And as you said, I came to you a bunch of months ago, one of my very first meetings, to talk about this new thing, crazy new thing we're trying with StoryCorps.

01:22:54.700 Because up to now, everybody who's participated has known and loved each other.

01:22:58.840 And, you know, seeing the country kind of coming apart and recognizing, you know, that really there's just such contempt across the political divides that we don't see each other as human beings anymore.

01:23:10.720 And the danger, the existential threat that poses to the country.

01:23:14.900 We started experimenting with a new kind of StoryCorps interview.

01:23:17.980 We started with family members, which is easier.

01:23:20.140 Family members who disagree about politics.

01:23:22.500 Having them come into a StoryCorps booth not to argue about politics.

01:23:25.520 This is not about finding common ground.

01:23:27.460 It's about recognizing that, you know, frankly, that you don't really wish people across political divides dead.

01:23:34.520 But, you know, it's weird to say that, isn't it?

01:23:37.400 It's weird to have to say that.

01:23:38.380 I know. It's crazy.

01:23:38.880 It's crazy.

01:23:39.560 But, you know, unfortunately, you know, I came, I first met you four months ago.

01:23:44.200 And where are we now?

01:23:45.320 It's a hundred times worse than it was four months ago, right?

01:23:48.480 So we started with family members and friends.

01:23:53.260 And then we moved to strangers.

01:23:54.400 We just launched a couple of weeks ago.

01:23:56.840 And the idea...

01:23:57.840 Could I play one here?

01:24:00.400 Tell me the story about Amina and Joseph.

01:24:03.560 This comes from the...

01:24:05.160 They were at a march right after the 2016 election.

01:24:09.200 That's right.

01:24:09.780 This is a guy named Joseph Widenacht, who's a laid-off sheet metal worker.

01:24:16.780 And he showed up at an anti-Trump protest in Austin with a MAGA hat.

01:24:23.420 And Amina Amdin was a student at the University of Texas.

01:24:27.400 And she was one of the marchers that day.

01:24:29.820 And they came...

01:24:30.860 He also had a sign or a t-shirt or something that said, proud to be a deplorable.

01:24:34.460 That's right.

01:24:35.000 Right.

01:24:35.200 That's right.

01:24:35.840 And they came to StoryCorps to remember the moment that brought them together.

01:24:39.440 Okay.

01:24:39.740 So listen to this, America.

01:24:41.440 Listen.

01:24:42.280 I noticed you with the hat.

01:24:44.820 And I noticed that you were surrounded by some people.

01:24:48.500 And I noticed that they were being kind of threatening.

01:24:51.040 I heard a click of a lighter right behind my ear.

01:24:54.260 And there were about three people trying to light my shirt on fire with lighters.

01:24:57.900 And then somebody snatched your hat off your head.

01:25:01.180 And that's the point where I...

01:25:03.500 Something kind of snapped inside me because I wear a Muslim hijab.

01:25:07.520 And I've been in situations where people have tried to snatch it off my head.

01:25:11.120 Wow.

01:25:11.400 And I rushed towards you.

01:25:14.580 And I just started screaming, leave him alone.

01:25:16.920 Give me that back.

01:25:18.680 I don't think we could be any further apart as people.

01:25:23.740 And yet it was just kind of like this common, that's not okay moment.

01:25:27.960 That's remarkable, Dave.

01:25:32.600 Remarkable.

01:25:33.160 Because that's, I think, who America really is.

01:25:37.060 But nobody's paying attention to it.

01:25:39.780 Nobody's recording this.

01:25:41.860 Well, you know, the facilitators who travel the country for StoryCorps and record these stories,

01:25:46.580 they call it, you know, they're basically collecting the wisdom of humanity.

01:25:49.140 They call it kind of bearing witness to these stories.

01:25:51.240 When they come off the road, every single one of them, if you ask them, what have you learned?

01:25:57.020 We've had hundreds of them.

01:25:58.660 They give some version of that Anne Frank line, you know, that people are basically good.

01:26:03.560 And, you know, I think you could say at the beginning of StoryCorps, maybe there was a selection bias.

01:26:07.340 But we've been everywhere, every kind of person, half a million people.

01:26:11.120 And that's the truth.

01:26:12.580 I mean, in your newscast, I was listening to the story of the homeless, the supposedly homeless guy, the people who did this scam, right?

01:26:22.220 In California, yeah.

01:26:23.400 Yeah, and that's like the reality TV world we live in.

01:26:26.300 But for every story like that, there's a thousand, thousand stories of just decency and kindness and honesty.

01:26:33.120 And that is who we are as a country.

01:26:35.480 You know, Mother Teresa used to say, you know, we've forgotten that we belong to each other.

01:26:39.340 And what we're trying to do with StoryCorps is remind people that indeed we do.

01:26:45.040 Okay, so Dave, how can we help you?

01:26:50.540 Well, we want every one of your listeners to participate in One Small Step.

01:26:53.680 We just launched.

01:26:54.980 And what we're trying to do is a real long-term culture change here.

01:26:59.380 We would love to have people volunteer to be a part of this.

01:27:02.520 It's going to take a little while as we get up to speed.

01:27:05.920 But if people want to learn more about this, they can go to our website, to storycorps.org, or they can send an email to onesmallstepatstorycorps.org.

01:27:16.780 StoryCorps is S-T-O-R-Y-C-O-R-P-S dot O-R-G.

01:27:20.960 And say they want to participate.

01:27:22.180 Right now, we're actually looking for participants in Houston.

01:27:25.380 So, in particular, if there are people in Houston who want to be a part of this, we'd love that.

01:27:30.720 And we're going to pair you with someone who is on the opposite sides of the political divide.

01:27:36.280 You're not going to know who they are, but we're going to ask you for a little bio.

01:27:42.920 We're going to strip your name off it, and you'll get a bio from the other person.

01:27:45.920 So you'll know we've been experimenting with this, how to make this work.

01:27:48.700 And it's important for people to know a little bit about the other person.

01:27:52.540 We're going to match you with someone who's got something in common with you.

01:27:56.020 It could be that you're both single parents or there's a sports team that you like in common.

01:28:01.480 And you'll sit and you'll talk, and you won't talk about politics.

01:28:04.380 You'll talk about what you care about, who you love, who's been kindest to you.

01:28:09.160 And you'll talk about politics in a way that, you know, doesn't drive people into their corners.

01:28:14.000 You know, you'll ask questions like, what is it in your life that kind of formed, was there a moment in your life that formed your political views?

01:28:20.700 What is it that's most hurtful that people say across the political divides to you?

01:28:26.220 What really bothers you?

01:28:27.380 What is it you respect about people across the political divides?

01:28:30.440 Why are you here?

01:28:31.800 And we're just, we call it one small step because it's just, it's one step.

01:28:35.860 You know, if we despise each other, you know, we're never going to get anywhere.

01:28:41.580 And we have to see the humanity in each other, or it's a real threat to our democracy.

01:28:46.880 You know, democracy can't breathe without hope.

01:28:50.540 And we need hope, and we need to respect one another.

01:28:53.840 I mean, I've been thinking a lot about, in Nazi Germany, the Nazis used to call Jews and black folks and others untermentioned less than human.

01:29:05.900 And slavery was built on, you know, people being looked at as less than human.

01:29:10.820 And there is a very, very deep danger in seeing people as less than human.

01:29:15.860 And that's just the little piece of this that we're trying to attack and set right.

01:29:20.940 We have to see each other as human beings.

01:29:24.620 And all of these, so you're not, you're definitely not looking for people who are going in there trying to win.

01:29:29.820 Nope.

01:29:30.440 Yeah.

01:29:30.740 Nope.

01:29:31.080 This is, this is not about convincing, you know, we, we ask you just not to talk about politics, but we do hope that you, that you, you know, I, I think there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's, there's just a lot of fear everywhere, you know?

01:29:44.560 And, and I, there, there's a great quote that I saw recently.

01:29:49.640 I've seen versions of this, you know, it's, it's impossible to hate up close.

01:29:53.080 You know, Mr. Rogers used to carry a line in his wallet from a nun in Philadelphia that said, it's impossible not to love someone whose story you've heard.

01:30:04.740 So, so it's just about getting rid of that fear.

01:30:08.800 You know, we live in a, in a country, I think where there's, there's less and less hope and more and more fear.

01:30:13.760 And, you know, we're our, our most dangerous and worst selves were, were in fear.

01:30:18.960 So it's really about just seeing the other as a person and being with that person just for a little bit of time.

01:30:25.520 Again, they're 40 minute sessions.

01:30:26.940 And then hopefully we'll get, we'll get you addicted to story core and you'll start listening to these stories and, you know, finding out about people, the lives of people who you may have thought were, were very different than you.

01:30:39.200 And, you know, recognizing yourself in that person and walking in their footsteps for just a minute and all, all of the good and important things that come from that.

01:30:47.260 So I'll tell you, Dave, this, this works and I'll tell you how I know it does.

01:30:50.320 There was a guy who is one of the bigger Hollywood writers wrote for some of the biggest TV shows in, in Los Angeles.

01:30:58.860 And you must be in New York.

01:31:01.020 Yeah.

01:31:01.500 Okay.

01:31:01.780 You hear the sirens.

01:31:03.140 Yes.

01:31:03.420 Yep.

01:31:04.400 Yeah.

01:31:05.340 But he was one of the bigger writers in, in Los Angeles.

01:31:08.360 And he came out, uh, to meet with me on a project.

01:31:12.920 And, um, I, I wasn't aware that he hated my guts as much as he did.

01:31:17.160 And he, he started the conversation like this.

01:31:20.060 His hands were shaking.

01:31:21.420 He said, uh, I want you to know, I have waited for this moment.

01:31:26.820 I have, I have talked to my friends for years.

01:31:29.640 What I would say to you if I ever met you.

01:31:32.640 Uh, and I, I want you to know, I hear people tell me all the time, once they meet you, they like you,

01:31:38.180 but you're not going to work that voodoo on me.

01:31:41.100 Um, and so we sat down and I, for 40 minutes, we only had an hour to meet.

01:31:45.340 And for about 40, 45 minutes, I just listened to him.

01:31:49.160 And I said, we can't talk about anything else until you get all of it.

01:31:52.500 You got to say all the things you want to say to me.

01:31:54.100 And I just listened to him.

01:31:56.000 Um, in the end, he walked away and he told the people we were meeting with, he said, I feel kind of bad now.

01:32:02.180 He said he was, he was nice.

01:32:03.680 He's, uh, and we've actually become friends.

01:32:06.800 Um, and we don't agree on anything.

01:32:09.760 Right.

01:32:10.160 But he doesn't, he doesn't want to see me dead, uh, which is, it was not where we started.

01:32:17.640 And that is remarkable when you, and, and, and, and, and it is, it's about listening, you know, and it, it isn't, you know, there are issues that we're, we're never going to agree on and that's okay.

01:32:27.080 And there's, and you know, there's, and there's a place for, you know, shouting and fighting for issues, but there's also a place for kind of whispering in each other's ears.

01:32:33.640 And we need both, we, we need both of those pieces to be a functioning democracy.

01:32:37.880 All right.

01:32:38.660 If, if you want to volunteer, if you want to find out more, just go to story core.org story, C O R P S story core.org. 1.00

01:32:49.720 Uh, and, uh, it'll give you all the information that you're looking for.

01:32:53.640 Um, but, uh, please participate in this.

01:32:56.520 I think it's important and it is going to be preserved for future generations.

01:33:01.320 So Dave, I so respect what you're doing and, and thank you so much.

01:33:05.940 And we'll talk to you again.

01:33:07.560 I hope so.

01:33:08.540 Glenn, thanks for the time.

01:33:09.720 You bet.

01:33:10.240 God bless.

01:33:20.600 Simply safe is our sponsor.

01:33:22.380 This half hour simply safe is a, um, is a, uh, is a remarkable system, uh, built by a team of people that I know.

01:33:30.360 I think when they started with us, they had, I think there were five of them and, uh, they had, they had started this company and, um, and they thought, you know, we, we started this just as something to help our friends.

01:33:45.480 And then it just grew and everybody was saying, Hey, can you make one of those for me?

01:33:49.260 And so they did.

01:33:50.960 And then it grew into simply safe.

01:33:53.780 And when we started with them, they were just brand new.

01:33:56.420 Now they have over 2 million people.

01:33:59.160 They're watching.

01:33:59.620 They're starting to, I think they're launching overseas.

01:34:02.960 Um, it is, it, it is the fastest growing security, uh, alarm system company, uh, I think in the world.

01:34:09.480 And, um, I'm so thrilled to be a partner with them because they're good people that care about quality and they, they really think about the way it affects your life because they use it too.

01:34:21.120 And they know how it affects their life.

01:34:22.900 Yeah.

01:34:23.120 And, you know, they've come up with a great technology.

01:34:25.700 They keep it easy.

01:34:26.720 They don't have, you don't have to drill holes all over your house.

01:34:29.080 You know, there's, uh, no contracts.

01:34:31.260 There's no contracts.

01:34:31.980 You can come in and out whenever you feel like it.

01:34:33.760 It's really great.

01:34:34.460 And it's so, it's always amazing to me.

01:34:36.500 I mean, I still have relatives that don't have a security system at all.

01:34:41.500 2018.

01:34:52.900 $14.99.

01:35:23.680 I didn't get a chance to listen to something's off with Andrew Heaton yesterday.

01:35:28.860 So, and I always learn something new.

01:35:30.740 What, what, what did I miss yesterday?

01:35:32.580 Well, it was, uh, yesterday I unveiled a new segment.

01:35:36.460 Yeah.

01:35:36.660 Pull your microphone.

01:35:37.500 Thank you.

01:35:37.780 Thank you.

01:35:38.180 Go ahead.

01:35:38.360 There we are in the little top thing there.

01:35:39.620 Yeah.

01:35:40.060 Uh, yesterday I unveiled a new segment called naughty parts around the world.

01:35:44.180 Naughty.

01:35:44.640 I was going to call it genitals around the world, but I was talked out of that.

01:35:47.780 So naughty parts around the world.

01:35:49.000 And you did make sure to work the word genitals in several times.

01:35:51.920 I did.

01:35:52.240 Yes.

01:35:52.660 I, it became, well, you're still fighting against the man.

01:35:55.180 Yes.

01:35:55.580 I, this is my, my small, my small battle is to, is to do that.

01:36:01.800 So this, so it's a segment involving scandals, nudity, things like that.

01:36:05.900 Like, uh, Canada's opening up a water, uh, a, uh, adults only nude water park.

01:36:12.000 Oh, who wants to go gentlemen in Canada?

01:36:15.460 Shrinkly cold Canada.

01:36:17.940 It just seems like a terrible, like Bermuda. 0.99

01:36:19.720 I could kind of get that.

01:36:20.600 I I'm with you.

01:36:21.260 Cause I've, I've, uh, no, have you seen people at the water park?

01:36:24.320 Well, I put the water park.

01:36:25.500 I have no problem with.

01:36:25.960 I've been to nude beaches though.

01:36:27.060 And I can tell you that the kind of people that want to hang out at a nude beach should

01:36:29.840 never be naked, even by themselves at home alone.

01:36:32.800 I mean, I'm to the point where I want to shower in my clothes.

01:36:35.340 Yeah.

01:36:35.580 That's, I'm like, you know, well, you're respecting, well, America, that's just, you know, what

01:36:39.180 you do.

01:36:39.560 I mean, some people say that's Puritan, but I'm offended by my naked body.

01:36:44.080 I only, I only take my clothes off when I leave the country.

01:36:46.700 That's how much respect I have for the United States of America.

01:36:48.720 I only see myself nude when I go to Amsterdam every three years.

01:36:51.900 So, uh, what, what, what, what, what other, uh, the one I think that you would

01:36:55.340 enjoy the one, the one that I got a kick out of 30 seconds, uh, 30 seconds.

01:36:58.840 Yeah.

01:36:59.060 Oh, wow.

01:36:59.440 Okay.

01:36:59.700 In the United Kingdom, there's an MP pushing to teach orgasms in school, uh, which I kind

01:37:04.400 of followed for a minute, but the reason is because there's an orgasm gap between men

01:37:07.960 and women. 0.98

01:37:08.300 And I thought, way to bring in Bernie Sanders to sex ed education. 0.95

01:37:12.100 And the way to deal with this is I think to have a higher marginal tax rate on people

01:37:15.780 that have more sex. 0.92

01:37:17.200 There you go.

01:37:18.200 Or redistribute.

01:37:19.640 Yes.

01:37:20.060 I don't know how that works.

01:37:21.660 I don't know how that works either, but we should pursue it.

01:37:24.760 Uh, Andrew Heaton from something's off with Andrew Heaton.

01:37:27.740 It's a new podcast.

01:37:29.020 Make sure you subscribe.

01:37:30.180 It's very good.

01:37:31.640 Back.

01:37:32.700 Mercury.

01:37:37.900 This is the Glenn Beck.

01:37:39.560 I don't know if you ever have a, one of those moments where you kind of question yourself,

01:37:43.840 uh, and your existence and all that you do.

01:37:45.920 And, uh, I think yesterday was one of those days, uh, around this time yesterday, we, we

01:37:51.160 had a drawing for people who, who had put their name in for a hundred dollars, uh, to, uh,

01:37:58.280 donate to Mercury one.

01:37:59.700 And the idea was we were going to draw your name the next day and you could come and have,

01:38:04.220 have dinner with us at the, at the Mercury one gala.

01:38:07.660 Uh, and that didn't really go really well.

01:38:10.640 Um, I'm concerned why you'd want to repeat the process from yesterday.

01:38:13.900 Well, cause I have, I have, we, we finally have, we finally have somebody who wants to,

01:38:18.660 to, to join us.

01:38:20.060 Do we have Jody on the phone yet?

01:38:21.600 Can we call Jody please?

01:38:23.260 Uh, we, we, you know, she wasn't, uh, uh, you know, she wasn't available yesterday.

01:38:28.840 Uh, and so I, I wanted to actually talk to her and, um, uh, and I, I'm told that she's,

01:38:34.780 she's very excited.

01:38:36.020 And I, before we make another drawing for somebody who's going to come to the studios

01:38:41.080 in February or somebody that we're, we're hoping we'll want to come to the studios in

01:38:45.920 February, uh, I thought we call, uh, Jody, uh, Sarah, we, we, we, we, uh, oh, she's on

01:38:52.060 right now.

01:38:52.560 Jody, are you there?

01:38:55.220 Jody or Jody, are you there?

01:38:57.500 Yes.

01:38:57.940 Hi, Glenn.

01:38:58.460 How are you?

01:38:59.400 I'm good.

01:39:00.060 How are you?

01:39:00.600 I'm very excited to, uh, uh, to talk to you.

01:39:03.040 You know, yesterday you, you, you won the trip here to, uh, to Dallas, Texas.

01:39:07.440 I did.

01:39:08.420 And we were, uh, I didn't, why, and, and why are you, uh, why am I not coming?

01:39:18.640 You're not coming.

01:39:19.760 No, I was just going to say, why did you say I did?

01:39:22.820 I did.

01:39:23.620 You're not coming.

01:39:24.820 I'm not coming.

01:39:26.200 Um, and you know, funny story is that on Wednesday when you were able to buy the tickets, all,

01:39:32.380 all day long, I had this voice in my head, buy a ticket, you're going to win, buy a ticket,

01:39:36.860 you're going to win.

01:39:37.840 So at nine o'clock at night, I finally listened to that voice and I bought a ticket.

01:39:41.320 I went to bed thinking, I'm going to win.

01:39:43.740 And I had to leave my house at 1115 yesterday.

01:39:47.820 And I went to the grocery store and kept getting all these phone calls saying, Glenn just announced

01:39:51.420 your name on the radio.

01:39:52.660 So, and, and, and I was, and so, so, so, so you knew you were going to win and you bought

01:40:00.520 the ticket cause you wanted to win, but you're not coming.

01:40:04.660 And why is it?

01:40:06.820 Please tell me that it's something more important than like a movie.

01:40:09.880 I hope so.

01:40:10.920 Yeah.

01:40:11.100 What is it?

01:40:11.600 Yes.

01:40:12.240 I actually am a volunteer at our, one of our food banks or food pantries here in Corny,

01:40:17.780 New York, where I live and Saturday is our annual Thanksgiving distribution day, where

01:40:23.660 we're giving out Thanksgiving baskets to almost 400 of our clients.

01:40:29.980 And I am one of the people that are leading that, that charge and it's near and dear to

01:40:35.580 my heart.

01:40:36.180 And although I love you, Glenn.

01:40:38.080 Oh no, I think this is, this is the best reason.

01:40:41.080 It's the best reason I've heard.

01:40:42.760 Well, the Hawaii one was good too.

01:40:44.640 Hi, Jody.

01:40:45.280 My name's Andrew.

01:40:45.960 I'm delightful.

01:40:46.360 If you met me, we'd really get along.

01:40:48.780 You're, you're skipping the ball to do volunteer work.

01:40:52.540 Is that right?

01:40:53.560 Believe it or not.

01:40:54.680 Yeah.

01:40:54.860 Wow.

01:40:55.120 You are such a better human being than me.

01:40:58.540 I'm very impressed with you as a person.

01:41:00.620 You're much funnier than I am, Andrew.

01:41:01.580 Do what?

01:41:02.320 You're much funnier than I am, though.

01:41:03.820 It's the one thing I got going.

01:41:04.800 Thank you.

01:41:06.620 And I'm talking.

01:41:07.960 No, I was thinking, I don't know if you could count that as a whole thing, but so Jody,

01:41:13.340 that is fantastic.

01:41:13.940 So tell me about, tell me about the, the soup kitchen and what you guys do.

01:41:18.140 Well, it's a food pantry.

01:41:19.880 And we've been around since 1973, started in the church of a basement of a Catholic church

01:41:25.280 and have grown over the years to now we have a beautiful facility that affords us to do,

01:41:31.920 not only just give food, but we also, we give cooking classes and we have a lending library.

01:41:37.280 We do education for the kids in our community, getting them to get involved in community

01:41:43.820 service and learning about hunger and helping out others that are not as fortunate as they

01:41:48.940 are.

01:41:49.560 We work with Head Starts.

01:41:50.660 We work with veterans.

01:41:51.920 So we do all that with, we have about a hundred volunteers.

01:41:55.700 None of us are paid to do any of this.

01:41:58.120 And we give away probably about 25, that we have about 25,000 people that come through our

01:42:03.920 doors every year.

01:42:05.080 And we give away about 130 tons of food and it's all on a donation basis, mainly donations

01:42:12.500 and grants that we go out and seek.

01:42:15.020 All right.

01:42:15.240 So, uh, I mean, I just, I was, uh, just, uh, given a note from, uh, Suzanne, who's with,

01:42:21.920 uh, Mercury one.

01:42:23.360 And, and, uh, I think this is fantastic.

01:42:25.960 Um, you know, we were going to fly you out and everything else.

01:42:28.860 May we, may we make a donation to, uh, your food pantry instead?

01:42:33.700 Oh my gosh, that would be absolutely incredible.

01:42:36.180 We would so honor that.

01:42:37.700 Um, well, we'll, we'll make it out, uh, in your name, uh, for $5,000.

01:42:43.400 Oh my gosh, Glenn, you're kidding.

01:42:44.880 You know, Mike, I cannot, I cannot tell you how thrilled we were on that, you know, for

01:42:49.420 every $5 donated, we can use that money to leverage $28 of food.

01:42:54.000 So I, I cannot tell you how far $5,000 would go.

01:42:57.700 That is just, it's amazing.

01:42:59.160 Thank you.

01:42:59.840 Well, maybe that is why we were, that's why the spirit was prompting you because, uh,

01:43:05.140 this is turned out to be so much better than a, a meaningless night with us, really.

01:43:11.700 Although that would have been so much fun.

01:43:13.020 It would have been fun.

01:43:13.700 I hope you enjoyed it, but you'd be surprised.

01:43:15.320 Jody, I'm going to, I'm going to try and push back on this a little bit.

01:43:18.000 If you decide to come to the Mercury One Ball, I will give you eight canned goods.

01:43:23.000 Oh.

01:43:24.080 Wow.

01:43:24.640 Wow.

01:43:24.960 That's a tough one.

01:43:25.580 So either way, you get, so hang on just a second.

01:43:28.320 Jody, you may retract those eight canned goods here if I ask this question.

01:43:31.700 Are you married?

01:43:32.800 I am.

01:43:34.260 You're taking the canned goods back off the table.

01:43:35.880 Yeah, it was just, it was just a scam.

01:43:39.900 Jody, thank you so much.

01:43:41.200 Oh my God.

01:43:41.860 Hold on.

01:43:42.200 I have one quick thing.

01:43:43.320 Yeah.

01:43:43.700 Jody, they, uh, I'm, I did some back of the envelope math here and you said that you can

01:43:47.200 get, uh, 28, uh, $28 leverage for every, every $5 in or something like that.

01:43:52.260 Yes.

01:43:52.780 Okay.

01:43:52.960 Okay.

01:43:53.380 Uh, so the, so Glenn, the foundation giving you $5,000, you could go out and buy a bunch

01:43:57.640 of food or I did some calculations here.

01:44:00.080 You could buy one pound of black truffle, two pounds of Wagyu beef and two bottles of

01:44:05.920 water from Niagara Falls.

01:44:07.060 Now, how great would that be?

01:44:08.460 Oh my God.

01:44:09.040 Why are you trying to talk her out of?

01:44:10.520 I don't know.

01:44:11.080 It's still the same amount of money.

01:44:12.320 It's just very small and high quality.

01:44:16.740 Uh, Jody, thank you so much.

01:44:18.440 I appreciate it.

01:44:19.060 Thank you, Glenn.

01:44:19.580 I so appreciate it.

01:44:20.540 Thank you so much.

01:44:21.180 God bless.

01:44:21.880 And, uh, thanks to Mercury one for, um, making that donation.

01:44:25.420 Okay.

01:44:26.320 Are we going to pick another name?

01:44:27.960 Uh, now this is for the people.

01:44:29.720 I'm not even going to call.

01:44:30.760 I don't even want to call.

01:44:32.020 Uh, this is for somebody.

01:44:35.500 We'll make one call.

01:44:37.520 Again, this was, this is what yesterday, Andrew, you brought Andrew in to do this and it did

01:44:42.160 not go well.

01:44:43.240 Would you like to, would you like to, is it possible?

01:44:45.180 Andrew's the problem is what I'm trying to do.

01:44:46.620 Would you like to draw?

01:44:47.480 No, I want to see if Andrew fails again.

01:44:50.100 Okay.

01:44:50.580 Go ahead.

01:44:50.840 Uh, this is Lori Burns and do you want the one, the number three, one, two, nine.

01:44:57.680 That's her pin number as we've discussed.

01:44:59.640 Yeah.

01:44:59.740 So if you, if you can just get her a credit card number, uh, you've got the pin number,

01:45:04.320 you can, you can clean her out.

01:45:06.320 That's what a wonderful person we just spoke to.

01:45:08.280 I know it does make you feel a little, yeah.

01:45:12.080 Cause I mean, if I, if I heard from somebody in there, like I get a free trip for the weekend,

01:45:15.180 I'd be like soup kitchen thing.

01:45:16.760 I go, yeah, we got other people are doing that.

01:45:19.440 That's fine.

01:45:19.940 I'll go the following week or something.

01:45:21.380 I'd figure out a way to make it sound good in my own mind.

01:45:24.200 That's what I would do.

01:45:24.860 I wouldn't, I wouldn't blow it off in a mean way, but I'd figure out how to do it.

01:45:27.780 No, you wouldn't.

01:45:28.460 And you would, and you would, you would absolutely.

01:45:30.360 And then like two weeks later, you'd be like, that really says a lot about me, doesn't it?

01:45:35.000 And you would carry that guilt around for a while.

01:45:36.840 But Jody didn't have to worry about any of that.

01:45:39.420 I would, I think what I would do is I would come, but on the plane ride, I would think

01:45:43.180 about charity events that I, I intend to do in the future to make myself feel good.

01:45:49.240 And then I would forget.

01:45:50.560 I would not actually get around to it.

01:45:51.900 Right.

01:45:52.020 I'd get Saturday morning.

01:45:53.180 I'd be like, you know, I'm pretty tired.

01:45:54.760 I'm going to catch up on the marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

01:45:56.680 That seems like a good use of my time.

01:46:00.560 Okay.

01:46:01.880 Do we have, do we have the, the number going?

01:46:04.920 Well, there's no answer.

01:46:07.600 So you have, you're 0 for 4?

01:46:09.360 I am, you're 0 for 4.

01:46:10.460 Wait, no, wait.

01:46:10.880 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:46:11.800 They'll call, they'll, they'll call.

01:46:12.920 No, you're not reaching in.

01:46:13.820 No, reach again.

01:46:14.500 I said, we're doing one.

01:46:16.240 All right.

01:46:16.660 We're doing one.

01:46:18.020 And, and think about, it's really nice that Mercury One is giving the $5,000.

01:46:21.940 I think they're going to love that truffle.

01:46:23.760 And that, that Wagyu beef.

01:46:25.640 The two people that get to enjoy that Wagyu beef are really going to get a kick out of that.

01:46:29.660 No, that's actually not, that's not what's, what's, what's happening.

01:46:33.020 Okay.

01:46:33.680 Back in just a second.

01:46:34.560 In fact, Michael, can you just come in for just a second?

01:46:36.840 Michael Little, he is the CEO of the Lincoln Museum.

01:46:40.440 Just to, just kind of crawl in.

01:46:42.440 Andrew.

01:46:43.340 Andrew's very smuggly.

01:46:44.540 He's huggable.

01:46:45.520 You can, yeah.

01:46:46.460 You can get right in there with him.

01:46:47.880 Right in his, Michael is the CEO of the, or COO of the Lincoln Museum and Lincoln Library.

01:46:54.640 Tell her to hold.

01:46:55.300 And you have donated.

01:46:58.520 And Bill O'Reilly just bid $20,000 on this.

01:47:02.100 Fantastic.

01:47:02.820 Thank you, Bill.

01:47:03.320 And, and I don't think it's going to stop there because I just want you to talk me into buying it because it is, this is the only copy of the Gettysburg Address that you've ever made or ever will make.

01:47:17.100 And you guys have the copy of the Gettysburg Address.

01:47:20.280 Correct.

01:47:20.720 We're doing this one time.

01:47:22.880 And we're doing it for you, Glenn, because this is a very special occasion.

01:47:27.220 So we've never done this before and we'll never do it again.

01:47:30.480 So this is a really, truly, it's a one of a kind item that's only available this one time.

01:47:37.380 It's one time.

01:47:38.040 And this is a high resolution laser copy or whatever it is.

01:47:43.840 Correct.

01:47:44.140 Done by the only person that can even touch the Gettysburg Address.

01:47:47.580 Correct.

01:47:48.080 So.

01:47:48.560 How do you get that on her? 0.99

01:47:49.780 How do you, when you're, when you're, do you, do you, do you put a job search out and like looking for someone who can touch the Gettysburg Address?

01:47:57.860 Well, it's somebody that has a lot of skill and she has a lot of letters behind her name so that she is able to work with just incredible items.

01:48:08.780 So from the, she has no children, right?

01:48:10.600 I mean, I was, no jam hands.

01:48:13.300 No, no, no.

01:48:14.120 Right, right.

01:48:14.600 No.

01:48:14.780 And she's just done a great job for her.

01:48:17.380 She's, in addition to the Gettysburg Address, she's worked on the 13th Amendment.

01:48:21.660 She's worked on the proclamation.

01:48:25.520 You know, she's worked on some just rare, rare items.

01:48:28.780 What's coming down for the museum in February?

01:48:31.360 We're doing black history and we've, we've partnered with you and another, what is the name of the other African-American museum?

01:48:37.720 It's just African-American museum in Dallas.

01:48:42.460 And so it's going to be quite an amazing collection and a, and a, and a take on the African-American experience that you just don't see everywhere.

01:48:49.180 Right.

01:48:49.640 What's coming down from Lincoln?

01:48:51.240 You know, actually right now, I think we're still working with your team to figure out what would be the best pieces to bring down.

01:48:57.220 So we'll definitely have some incredible pieces because we do have the largest collection outside the Library of Congress for President Lincoln.

01:49:05.940 We have the largest collection of Mary Todd Lincoln items and documents.

01:49:09.740 Have you seen her dress we have?

01:49:11.140 Yes.

01:49:11.740 Isn't that amazing?

01:49:12.400 Oh, it's incredible.

01:49:13.040 We have her, we have her funeral dress.

01:49:15.380 Yes.

01:49:15.640 And, uh, I don't know, I'm, I'm one of the only people allowed to touch it.

01:49:18.980 So I'll have to show it to you myself.

01:49:20.580 Um, but if you actually turn the hem underneath, you can see how quickly it was cut and stitched.

01:49:27.920 It's crazy.

01:49:29.200 Well, the thing is that she probably did it herself.

01:49:31.540 Um, she was a great seamstress. 0.97

01:49:34.180 She, um, pretty much made all of the clothes for her kids. 0.98

01:49:37.580 Really?

01:49:38.040 The Lincoln boys were notorious for being wild and, uh, not really having a lot of rules.

01:49:43.280 So their clothes were always getting, uh, torn and ripped and she would fix them.

01:49:48.400 Um, and people always commented how great the little boys looked, even though they were kind of wild and like to get into things.

01:49:56.240 So, um, uh, by the way, we're, so, you know, we're taking the money raised for the Gettysburg address and we're turning it back over, uh, to you guys.

01:50:06.140 I think you're getting every dollar of that.

01:50:07.800 Thank you very much.

01:50:08.560 Because we really, um, the, the, the stuff needs to be kept together, uh, and they're having a hard time.

01:50:15.560 They have the hat and bloodstained gloves that Lincoln was wearing, um, at the night he was killed.

01:50:22.240 And, uh, it, it, it, this first time that they've been in, in public hands, they sat in somebody's house or somebody's, you know, office in their own private collection and unseen for so long.

01:50:35.360 And they must remain in public view, in my opinion, uh, and they've got a lot of money to raise and we would love to help them.

01:50:44.280 If you would like to help five for Lincoln, five for Lincoln, uh, dot com, just give $5, do $5 a month and help pay for, uh, this hat.

01:50:55.700 So it can be seen in public, uh, for, uh, for generations to come.

01:51:01.180 We have Lori Burns real quick. 1.00

01:51:03.340 Lori, just one to come to our museum in February.

01:51:07.360 Lori.

01:51:09.300 Yes.

01:51:09.900 Good morning, Glenn.

01:51:10.880 How are you?

01:51:11.500 Can you make it?

01:51:13.280 Uh, absolutely.

01:51:14.280 We are honored.

01:51:15.720 That's a miracle.

01:51:16.940 That's great.

01:51:17.380 Where are you from, Lori?

01:51:19.080 Uh, from McAllen, Texas.

01:51:20.860 So, oh, you're from Texas.

01:51:22.480 Okay.

01:51:23.300 All right.

01:51:23.680 Good.

01:51:24.080 Great.

01:51:24.660 Lori, thank you so much.

01:51:25.740 Hang on the phone.

01:51:26.400 We're going to get some information and we can't wait to meet you.

01:51:28.660 More trouble for us.

01:51:29.620 Thank you.

01:51:30.380 All right.

01:51:32.060 Uh, all right.

01:51:32.900 Thank you so much.

01:51:34.000 I appreciate it.

01:51:35.720 For everything that they do.

01:51:36.940 We really appreciate it.

01:51:37.940 You got it.

01:51:39.360 Five for Lincoln.com.

01:51:41.580 All right.

01:51:42.040 Our sponsor this half hour.

01:51:43.060 Uh, is a filter by.

01:51:45.860 Here's the thing with filter by a filter by.

01:51:48.040 I don't know about you, but I've never changed the air filters.

01:51:51.760 I, I, I don't.

01:51:53.940 I honestly thought about this the other day and I thought, I don't remember the, if I ever

01:51:58.380 have changed an air filter.

01:51:59.400 I think I buy a house, the air filter is there.

01:52:02.080 And when I sell the house, it's just gotta be black. 1.00

01:52:05.060 Uh, and that's what you do when you move in, you change the air filter once and it lasts

01:52:08.300 the lifetime of, no, I just assumed that somebody else had changed it, but I bought it.

01:52:12.220 It's like new, you know, it's like a, it's gotta be new, even though it's an old house.

01:52:15.780 That's gotta be part of the inspection or somebody else did it.

01:52:18.340 Right.

01:52:19.280 Uh, so if you are a little like me, uh, it's pretty irresponsible.

01:52:23.220 The air in your, uh, house is really bad and it hurts your HVAC system.

01:52:26.900 I don't have to worry about it anymore because I have filter by.com.

01:52:29.760 Now what filter by.com is, is it, it sends the right filter to your house.

01:52:34.160 And so when it shows up, you're just like, Oh, time to change the air filter already.

01:52:38.300 And you go upstairs or wherever it is and you pop the new air filter in, throw the other

01:52:42.100 one away and you're done.

01:52:43.440 You'll also save 5%.

01:52:45.220 If you do it this way with filter by.com that's filter by.com do it.

01:52:50.760 It's so easy.

01:52:51.520 Save 5%.

01:52:52.720 Do it and forget about it.

01:52:55.060 Filter B U Y.com.

01:52:57.220 So what does Mary had a little lamb and Thanksgiving have in common?

01:53:07.140 Maybe now, you know, the poem, Mary had a little lamb.

01:53:10.620 Police is white as snow.

01:53:11.820 You know who wrote that?

01:53:14.140 Eminem.

01:53:15.620 No, no.

01:53:18.080 Uh, her name is Sarah Hale and she wrote, and she's the one that we have, we have to thank

01:53:23.400 for Thanksgiving because she wrote president after president, after president, George Washington

01:53:29.040 did the first one.

01:53:30.040 And so we should have this as a national holiday.

01:53:33.360 And, uh, in 1861, we were in the middle of the civil war or the beginning of the civil

01:53:37.980 war.

01:53:38.260 And, and, uh, Lincoln said, you know what?

01:53:40.420 We should have a day of Thanksgiving.

01:53:42.920 Uh, and, uh, it was, it was her work that set the foundation to be able to have Thanksgiving

01:53:49.580 as an official holiday, except up until FDR.

01:53:52.460 It was all set by the governors is you have Thanksgiving, you know, it was up to the government

01:53:57.240 governor and it would float from state to state, but it would always be in this general

01:54:00.900 area, but it would float.

01:54:02.460 It wasn't until FDR and the great depression, he locked it in to this next coming, uh, weekend

01:54:09.300 because he was trying to get people to go out and have an extra week of shopping before

01:54:16.700 Christmas to help the business owners.

01:54:18.860 He's the guy who created black Friday, Glenn back, mercury.
