00:03:55.400
so let's let's start here with just a read a brief recap of uh we're going to war it's world war three
00:04:12.180
maybe maybe not let's uh let's let's not count our chickens before they hatch here
00:04:20.120
um let's talk a little bit here i'm going to next hour really get into who is this guy that we killed
00:04:27.380
why did we kill him what do we know about him uh was this just something that you know donald trump
00:04:35.480
did just half cocked or perhaps is this something that was coming for a long time and yet no one seemed
00:04:43.900
to understand the signs that donald trump was showing starting oh i don't know maybe last spring
00:04:51.580
i'll give you that coming up in an hour but let me just say this world war three i don't think so
00:05:00.120
unless uh iran really goes to town and i think the only place that they would really go to town
00:05:08.740
uh and let everybody know it is israel they might let missiles fly to israel and destroy tel aviv that's
00:05:18.400
what they're they're talking about now if they do that they are betting that that will awaken the arab
00:05:24.520
world and the arab world would unite in a caliphate behind them that is a possibility wash the world in
00:05:33.640
blood however i don't think that they would take on america knowingly so in other words them
00:05:42.600
sending a missile you know from a ship off the off our coast or whatever uh or you know blowing up
00:05:50.020
the presidential motorcade or you know they're threatening the white house i just don't see them
00:05:55.800
doing that directly as a state because we would wipe them off the face of the earth within an hour
00:06:02.660
they kill our president and americans no matter no matter what hollywood is saying today who was it
00:06:10.260
that joked uh we'll give it we'll do it for half price it was george lopez that they said what was it
00:06:16.880
80 million dollar bounty on tronald trump's head correct and uh and um he came out and said oh we do it
00:06:24.460
for half that really would we george one thing that does bring americans together is when you kill our
00:06:31.480
president now um i don't think that they would do that however i do think that they would possibly go
00:06:40.520
after an embassy that's what they were doing led by this guy um that's what they were doing in um in
00:06:48.300
baghdad trying to take our embassy we have a history with iran taking our embassies this is the guy as you
00:06:56.360
will find out next hour there's a good possibility this is the guy that actually orchestrated benghazi
00:07:03.240
so he took over our consulate now he's trying to take over our our embassy
00:07:10.120
no you can't do that um so what's the retaliation and what's the solution
00:07:20.440
retaliation we have to wait to see but it ties into what i'll tell you next hour um uh
00:07:33.740
if it's just us and iran we win and it's not going to be world war three if they really believe that
00:07:45.220
they are put in the position now where the caliphate can happen it would be world war three
00:07:53.320
we'll give you more in it in just a little while but there's no draft coming
00:07:58.900
this this it's amazing how the press works first that donald trump is half cocked no i i can go back
00:08:06.780
to your own reporting and find out all i need to know about how long this has been coming
00:08:13.920
um but the press is now trying to scare people into there's a draft coming no one in the pentagon
00:08:23.280
wants a draft no one no military branch wants a draft the only way that there would be a draft
00:08:31.600
is if the democrats insisted on one because every conservative and every single person in the
00:08:39.420
pentagon does not want a draft because you don't want somebody watching your back that doesn't give
00:08:47.380
a flying crap and doesn't want to be there you only want the people there who are prepared to fight
00:08:54.600
and democrats propose a draft all the time all the time i mean it used to be every single year i don't
00:08:59.700
know if they're still doing it but they would propose a draft every single year because you know
00:09:04.540
their little philosophy that you know not enough white people i think are in the on the front lines
00:09:10.360
they need to turn everything into race but that is a something that the democrats have been
00:09:15.900
talking about for a very long time it's not it's not realistic i mean we're not even at war
00:09:19.560
right this is with iran right now i mean we are in a proxy way and yes we did have a very high
00:09:25.220
profile incident however that incident was covered under our our efforts in iraq he was in iraq uh he
00:09:33.200
yes he was a high level official who was organizing attacks against our troops in the country where we
00:09:38.320
have an authorized military military action he's he's also not uh he's not responsive to the people
00:09:46.000
he's not he does not fall under the elected government that's the thing you have to understand
00:09:53.320
there is an elected government of of iran and then above that there is the supreme council
00:10:00.860
and the supreme council doesn't answer to the elected officials in fact they're the ones
00:10:06.960
orchestrating what all of the officials are doing and who can run and who could be a legitimate
00:10:12.620
candidate so the people have very little say but this guy in particular he only answers to the
00:10:19.600
supreme council which is all of the crazy mullahs he doesn't answer doesn't have to talk to doesn't
00:10:25.380
have to report to doesn't have anything to do with the elected government
00:10:29.140
so what you're talking about is a guy who is rogue who's listening to religious zealots
00:10:37.840
and he's going around the world setting up ways to kill people and to kill americans to kill anybody
00:10:45.020
that stands in the way of the iranian idea of a new caliphate i love i love how they keep bringing
00:10:52.240
in the look we've had intelligence failures before and uh you know who knows what this is they're saying
00:10:57.800
there was an imminent attack and and there's been these you know remember the iraq war uh you went
00:11:02.660
into that and you had nothing and it's like well i guess theoretically this is possible but let's
00:11:07.180
investigate this for a second he's admitted a bunch of this stuff he keeps going on television and saying
00:11:11.940
he's killing americans uh so i don't know i mean unless he's lying now you could definitely argue
00:11:18.180
there's a lack of intelligence in admitting these things on television that's a lack of intelligence but
00:11:22.880
that's the only one i think we're the lack of intelligence in the reporters themselves you know
00:11:28.620
it's that they're not even trying right i mean you just look for things to to target the trump
00:11:33.760
administration here this there's nobody who's arguing that has any credibility that this guy
00:11:41.740
was not guilty and and was one of the most dangerous people in the world you can argue lots
00:11:47.880
of things around the process around it like whoa did did he call nancy pelosi in advance well there
00:11:52.840
i'm sure that would have worked out well we would have found this guy he was he would have been in
00:11:56.400
acapulco before before the the missiles started coming so i i don't i don't you can't do that with
00:12:01.720
this administration they will leak against him on anything and that he has to be you have to be
00:12:07.160
guarding that side of it if you're done this is what happens when you can't work together
00:12:13.540
on anything when there is nothing sacred and it's all about destroying a president when it's all
00:12:21.300
about destroying a president that's what you get the president can't trust you can't talk to you
00:12:26.260
can't bring you in for advice and counsel just has to do it without you because he knows that anything
00:12:34.260
he says in private will immediately be leaked if they either disagree with it or think that they can
00:12:41.620
get a political leg up that's what happens this is not good and trump has to follow the law whether
00:12:47.980
he thinks people are leaking against him anyway but what he doesn't have to do is follow every little
00:12:51.980
traditional disclosure that friends used to give each other back in the day where they would go out
00:12:57.300
and have drinks correct uh at the fancy steakhouse after work he doesn't have to give him that and that
00:13:03.080
is the only thing they seem to be complaining about okay this all relies on trust and who do you trust
00:13:10.540
well 60 minutes is now throwing uh i i don't i i mean they were very careful last night to say
00:13:22.560
well we don't have all of the facts well if if you weren't comfortable with what you were doing
00:13:29.580
you shouldn't do it um but i think they were comfortable in reporting last night it doesn't look
00:13:38.140
like jeffrey epstein was all that sad doesn't look like at least oh you didn't read his note
00:13:45.480
his note was devastating really oh my gosh this guy was on the the note that the note won me over
00:13:52.600
definite suicide really i mean the things he was going through i i almost feel that we shouldn't tell
00:13:59.600
the audience because it may make them so sad that they all hang themselves well i'm gonna risk that oh
00:14:05.500
and we'll go over what happened on 60 minutes last night oh and ricky gervais he remains my hero
00:14:13.400
i love him he legitimately does not care no it's a he's i don't know how he gets away with it but
00:14:19.520
it's awesome he's imus yeah he's imus uh all right running a business lot like being asked to juggle a
00:14:27.800
bunch of flaming bowling pins and cats i mean not that the cats are on fire generally someone is throwing

00:15:40.780
all right so let's uh let's go through what happened last night on uh 60 minutes
00:15:58.080
with uh jeffrey epstein yeah it's interesting because really this story was out there for such a long
00:16:03.380
time conservatives complained about it for years and years and years that jeffrey epstein was you know
00:16:08.780
the normal target was bill clinton that he was hanging out with and nobody in the media cared about this
00:16:14.720
story nope eventually we got to a point in which the guy who gave the sweetheart deal to epstein
00:16:20.620
was in the trump administration and at that point thousands of reporters swamped to the scene uh to
00:16:30.480
figure out exactly what happened and some of the reporting honestly has been really really good i mean
00:16:34.720
the miami herald probably at the top of that list but there's been some excellent reporting on this
00:16:38.480
and now you know it does seem like the journalists have crossed the line as you know now they care
00:16:43.000
i'm not sure it was all of the journalists i think some of the journalists did care i think it was
00:16:48.320
all of their bosses yeah either didn't care or were being told not to care we know this with the
00:16:54.820
james o'keefe story uh where they were able to get the one reporter who you know was complaining
00:17:00.500
about not being able to get the story out you know years ago yeah so we see we know that as well
00:17:05.980
so the 60 minutes runs a big thing on basically did jeffrey epstein kill himself and one of the
00:17:11.620
guests they have on is a guy who was uh he was a a a doctor who was paid by epstein's brother
00:17:17.880
to figure out the truth so realize that there's a motivation here into telling you that jeffrey
00:17:24.200
epstein didn't kill himself but he is also a credible witness but a credible guy yeah he's done
00:17:28.320
many many uh of these he's very credible so uh sarah i think we have one clip from mike here on uh
00:17:35.280
from dr michael bowden is his name um he is or baden i believe it is um he was a uh this is a guy
00:17:42.620
who's paid by the epstein family to kind of figure out look into what really happened here uh let's listen
00:17:47.560
do you think there was foul play here the forensic evidence released so far including autopsy point
00:17:54.220
much more to murder and strangulation than the suicide and suicidal hanging i hesitate to make
00:18:01.680
a final opinion until all the evidence is in people will say well you're being paid by mark epstein so
00:18:09.320
of course you're going to say that something suspicious is going on that's a reasonable thing
00:18:15.140
for some people to think but our job is to find what the truth is just to find out whether there's
00:18:21.140
a homicide or suicide uh we're uh still haven't gotten all the information and this is not a guy
00:18:27.260
who had dealt with situations like this he had thousands of them here he is talking about how rare
00:18:32.840
it is to see the types of fractures uh from jeffrey jeffrey epstein listen i have never seen
00:18:38.600
three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging sometimes there's a fracture of the higher bone
00:18:45.680
or a fracture of the thyroid cartilage but not three very unusual to have two and not three and
00:18:53.760
going over over a thousand jail hangings suicides in the new york city state prisons over the past
00:19:00.320
40 50 years no one had three fractures no just no one but just no one out of thousands out of 40 years
00:19:10.440
it's pretty amazing uh they and one of the other points he makes is there they have now these pictures
00:19:15.560
have come out they're pretty graphic of of epstein you can see close-ups of his neck and a couple
00:19:20.820
things you see like a line of blood essentially on his neck you do not see blood on the noose that was
00:19:26.420
supposedly used at least in the pictures uh you do not see a point where when you have a typically
00:19:31.820
hanging you put the thing around your neck it sort of slips a little bit so you'd see almost markings
00:19:36.500
of a slippage which they did not see also uh they go into some uh depth on um the fractures which just
00:19:47.980
seem to be completely odd and the fact that this the pictures are more consistent with a wire
00:19:54.140
essentially a wire strangulation than a typical jailhouse hanging of themselves um however the
00:20:03.380
other evidence presented was pretty compelling as well um and you know what do you want to do you
00:20:07.980
want to come up with a motivation for something like this if it's going to happen and the motivation
00:20:11.300
was clear in a suicide note oh and the suicide note was incredibly powerful i mean you'd kill yourself
00:20:17.880
too in this sure sure sure uh he makes several points here number one uh epstein writes kept me
00:20:24.400
in a locked shower for an hour so i mean look you you molest a few hundred teenagers you're not going
00:20:32.940
to be i mean 20 minutes in a shower maybe but an hour in a shower now i know first of all showers are
00:20:41.020
awesome and and as my wife would tell you i've taken too many one hour showers they're just awesome
00:20:46.680
however when you're locked in there against your will for one full hour that's 60 minutes also the
00:20:54.200
name of the show that this happened on that's powerful that's number one coincidence how about
00:20:58.600
this uh it looks like noel who may have been one of the guards sent in burnt food holy cow now the
00:21:08.680
shower you didn't have me but now they're burning the food burnt food i'm i'm starting to get sad myself
00:21:14.000
if i'm thinking this is happening to me right now you're really sad yeah the next part giant bugs
00:21:20.480
crawling on my hands now i i wouldn't that sounds pretty bad i don't know exactly what happens my
00:21:28.160
guess is he wakes up in the middle of the night there's a cockroach on his hand he's not used to
00:21:32.560
this activity uh likely uh he i don't know a lot of people that are that activity but i did live in a
00:21:40.400
couple of residences early in my life yeah early in my life yeah so great um however those three
00:21:45.900
kind of build up you know the the shower for an hour the burnt food the bugs on the hands that's
00:21:50.540
all really bad but it builds really to the final conclusion which is typically the thing you would
00:21:55.440
write before you commit an actual suicide which is no fun exclamation point exclamation point
00:22:03.400
two of them two exclamation points here no fun no fun now of course you go to prison for molesting a
00:22:10.140
bunch of children you assume it's gonna be fun but not here no fun zero fun not even a little fun
00:22:16.600
he specifically says no fun that's the most ridiculous suicide note i've ever heard it doesn't see i mean it
00:22:22.520
looks like a couple things he wanted to bring up to his lawyer it has nothing it doesn't look like a
00:22:26.100
suicide note at all like maybe he's whining to his lawyer for better treatment or whatever but that's not
00:22:31.860
a suicide note unbelievable no no fun and it almost points to the fact that it wasn't a suicide
00:22:39.620
why are you complaining about your conditions if you're about to hang yourself i well unless these
00:22:45.280
are the reasons but those are not reasons no not maybe the giant bugs i might kill myself too if i
00:22:52.860
had giant bugs all over my hands but you know no fun it's not gonna be fun bud you're listening to glenn

hello glenn uh seems like a long time since you've been here i i know been six six months
00:25:06.680
something like that seven been two weeks two weeks yeah two weeks wow so but a lot has happened in
00:25:12.360
those two weeks gosh a lot christmas and new years and star wars and all of that i was thinking about
00:25:19.340
war but oh but star wars yeah star wars yeah i have a review by the way of 1917 if you've wanted to see
00:25:30.840
this movie wait for the review it's coming up in about an hour from now um also won the golden globe
00:25:39.480
last night for best picture i i i watched it twice watched it twice and it's i'd say that's a good
00:25:46.260
sign generally a movie you hate you don't go to a second time yeah yeah uh this is um this is a really
00:25:54.460
interesting movie the way it was done really interesting better than saving private ryan
00:25:59.860
i'll tell you in an hour all right uh star wars star wars i i was blown away because i didn't
00:26:07.680
expect to like it i loved it i loved it too i thought it was so satisfying here's my here's my
00:26:13.480
theory here's my theory my daughter came out of it now this is hannah and she came out of it and she
00:26:19.200
said i really liked it but it was so predictable and i said what i've got a bad feeling about this all
00:26:27.120
of those things that are in every single movie which they could do without right and uh i said
00:26:32.620
and she said no i mean you know the way it ended blah blah blah and i said did you like the way it
00:26:37.700
ended and she said yes do we have spoiler alerts here that we know i'm not gonna go into it other
00:26:41.860
than that she said yes and i said the difference may be that i remember going to the theater on the
00:26:50.800
first one yeah me too and so i've gone through this i've lived this 40 years and if you don't
00:26:59.000
give me a satisfying ending i'm really pissed that involves the people i care about yes and it did
00:27:06.360
and it did and i thought it tied the storyline up yep of 40 years halfway through that i thought
00:27:12.760
i could not have even been in the room when they were writing this script and going through all the
00:27:19.600
possibilities because the possibilities are endless you could have ended this thing
00:27:23.600
a hundred different ways and i would have just kept coming up with a hundred different ways to end it
00:27:28.960
and everybody would have said let it out of here okay um the way they ended it the pressure of
00:27:36.860
ending that story arc of 40 years is enormous yeah i agree with that and i think that they
00:27:46.420
tied it 40 years yeah i think they've tied it up in a in a in a satisfying way yes and put it all to
00:27:55.640
rest i mean i was 16 years old right began right i'm 58 now that that's a lifetime of loving that movie
00:28:04.260
series amazing it's it's just unbelievable yeah i had tears in my eyes because of that i mean i've
00:28:09.400
lived my whole life with this see i think that i think there's a difference because the people that
00:28:13.900
i have heard that say they don't like it don't remember the first movie i i was what 14 when it
00:28:21.480
came out so i i remember going to the movie and i had the same feeling i had this feeling of this is
00:28:29.620
a milestone in you know stupid milestone but it's a milestone in my life yeah i was there for the first
00:28:36.880
one i'm here for the last one see i i think that's why and i did not see any of the first three in the
00:28:42.760
theater but i saw them all a thousand times sure you know growing up and to me that was my problem
00:28:49.240
with it it didn't seem like they had a plan like it was i thought they went into like you know some
00:28:54.740
of the major developments some of which are in the trailer uh certain people coming back from long
00:28:59.460
absences that seemingly uh were would preclude coming back preclude coming back um those sorts of
00:29:05.720
things just seem like ah crap like the last movie was such a disaster let's ignore that one let's treat
00:29:10.700
that one like halloween three season of the witch where michael myers isn't okay we'll just kind of
00:29:14.840
toss that one off to the side that one wasn't part of the series and let's just bring back a couple of
00:29:19.220
old guys and then try to wrap up everybody at the same time i kind of feel like you know because
00:29:24.020
growing up with this movie i was always told right by george lucas that there was nine of them and
00:29:28.740
there's supposed to be a prequel and then there was a sequel it was gonna be there's gonna be nine
00:29:31.860
stories and like i thought you feel like at the beginning this guy knows where the nine movies are
00:29:36.900
going i got the sense that said at the end of the day this they got out of this last movie they're
00:29:42.400
like all right that was a disaster what do we do next it's not his story at the end though no it's
00:29:47.140
not so it's a whole different guy who's doing it still but it still worked but i think abrams
00:29:53.840
decided early on i'm gonna i'm gonna make this satisfying because last jedi sucked for so many
00:29:59.420
people i'm gonna make this satisfying for people who have lived it their whole lives i agree i think jj
00:30:04.480
abrams was the right guy i agree with that i could do it i feel the same way that you guys are
00:30:10.540
describing about the force awakens because to me it was the first three movies were you know the
00:30:18.020
the prequels were such a disaster oh and i feel like this like rejuvenated brought back this series
00:30:23.560
from the dead i agree i like to force awakens and i like so i really like that one and i feel like a
00:30:28.260
lot of people don't now yeah this this one though but i think it was mainly because i was like oh
00:30:32.860
well this this he did something like it i agree brought it back and i i would put this in with
00:30:37.880
the first three me too i would go one two three and this is this one oh this is number one two three
00:30:43.140
four five six and then this one but the actual 1977 80 83 then this one yeah i i i put that in
00:30:51.220
this category it fit with the old ones much better i thought me too force awakens i really liked
00:30:58.900
i really liked yeah um it was essentially the first movie remade that's basically what they
00:31:04.120
all were you know what was weird is over the holiday we watched we watched them from the
00:31:09.540
beginning we watched them in chronological order in chronological order really yeah uh and we do
00:31:15.020
we didn't watch the first one we watched highlights of the second one and we started really watching
00:31:21.060
them at three so we went three four uh rebel one i think no we went three then rebel one
00:31:31.760
rogue one rogue one and then four and then hot was it solo solo uh then we went jeez he really went deep
00:31:42.700
yeah we went deep we tried to watch them all in chronological order i watched one through eight
00:31:48.000
without the two side movies i liked adding the two side movies in them yeah i i mean i probably
00:31:55.140
should have but uh but i but i didn't and because you don't like them and i don't like them i don't
00:32:00.280
like rogue one that much i like solo um but the first three i thought okay i'll bet i'll bet i was just
00:32:06.840
too hard on the first three no i wasn't hard enough on the first no the first three the first three
00:32:11.760
the sequels are so bad that you mean the prequels the prequels i mean yeah the prequels are so bad
00:32:18.540
they're unwatchable now they really are unwatchable they really are just bad movies and i had to skip
00:32:24.820
all the way through every jar jar binks part i okay no i'm sorry and then when it came to the luke parts
00:32:30.800
in last jedi i had to skip all through that too because they just ruined him it does uh in that last
00:32:36.620
movie does vid angel have a specific jar jar filter that's a great feature to add that would
00:32:42.920
be fantastic because it edits out like you know content you're not supposed to watch for kids or
00:32:47.440
whatever yeah they just have one button that's just jar jar just takes jar jar out of any movie
00:32:51.600
if he's ever appears in another movie it would take him out of that too speaking of this i watched
00:32:56.560
uh what's that hollywood film with uh once upon a time in hollywood yes i watched that on the
00:33:03.480
airplane so it's been edited so i don't know what they took out of it they probably took a lot
00:33:08.980
was it like 22 minutes yeah because it was like four hours in real life so yeah it was like still
00:33:13.280
two hours or two hours and 20 minutes something like that um and i don't know what they took out
00:33:19.360
but that movie is awesome it is the most accurate depiction of the 1970s i've ever seen
00:33:30.160
except that it's not even a true story no it's an officialized version of what happened right
00:33:34.860
right right right but it's but it is i mean you feel that movie could have been made in the 1970s
00:33:40.780
it feels like the 1970s and the way uh uh quentin tarantino did the flashback scenes and the
00:33:50.360
and the have you seen it yeah okay so the way he did the western and the and all the other things
00:33:56.880
i mean it absolutely felt like the 1970s it was definitely well done it was really long
00:34:02.100
in real life not as long as uh the irishman oh yeah i heard that was really good i didn't i only
00:34:09.540
made it about halfway i saw it slow and really long like it's one of those i feel like a lot of this
00:34:16.800
this time this happens with a lot of directors where like you know a movie could be good at
00:34:22.460
one hour 38 minutes and instead it's three hours and 14 minutes and like i that the irishman was
00:34:29.160
like that it was like that that could have easily been cut down to two hours and it would have been
00:34:32.160
fine you would have got it it would have been good it was a good solid i don't think it was
00:34:35.140
any major achievement in the mob movie category but it was a solid you know it was a solid i expected
00:34:42.380
it to be mob movie i mean had everybody in it yeah everybody and it was good like they were all good
00:34:48.600
in it like it was well done it just was it was it didn't feel like some dramatic big event you know
00:34:55.340
and it didn't like it was in the golden globes last night i mean everyone was expecting it to win
00:34:59.080
everything and it didn't win anything anything netflix got completely shut out and netflix did yeah
00:35:04.420
which is funny because they you know gervais started the whole thing yeah basically saying how
00:35:08.460
everyone was going to netflix the netflix now rules speaking of uh streaming services what'd you
00:35:14.260
think of the mandalorians first season now that you've seen the whole thing or i assume you have
00:35:19.280
i liked it i i liked it quite a bit by the end i thought they redeemed themselves in the last few
00:35:25.020
episodes yeah it became quite interesting then yeah i mean but yoda still you take yoda out of it
00:35:31.180
it's nothing i mean baby yoda is really important yeah i know but i'm just saying that it is
00:35:39.400
it's a weak story and weak strong because there's a baby yoda in it yes yes and you know they're
00:35:47.420
saying that baby yoda that that this is the actual future of movies that stars now are dead which i
00:35:56.240
don't i don't agree with um however listen to the review of 1917 i may be contradicting myself but
00:36:04.520
they're saying that stars now are a thing of the past and this is the first the the baby yoda series
00:36:11.380
is the first um hat tip to the future of movies it's an it's it's it's cgi it will be voiced by
00:36:23.900
somebody that we're just going to hold the bank up you know and and rob disney because i don't know if
00:36:30.100
i'm going to sign up for another it's cgi and the lead character your face the face is only seen one
00:36:36.160
time yeah one time you can put anybody under that mask correct and so they're saying now that it's
00:36:42.800
really just the stories and with cgi i mean you know one thing that was amazing to me is when you go
00:36:51.600
back and you watch what was it one of the prequels i can't remember which one but the star wars where
00:36:59.360
um peter what's his name who was running the death star uh remember peter cushing and uh in rogue one
00:37:09.800
and he's he's cgi and you can tell he's been dead for how many years would you have known that carrie
00:37:17.360
fisher was dead not at all not not at all at all they improved it so much from the last time they did
00:37:25.080
it yeah that you couldn't even tell she was cgi you would swear she was alive afterwards all those
00:37:31.100
scenes my daughter's was my daughter was like what she's dead yeah yes three years that amazing three
00:37:38.320
years so i mean you're we're now entering a stage where actors and actresses don't even have to be a
00:37:44.460
part of it do you know that they're making a new james dean film with james dean in it yes he's the star
00:37:51.380
that's amazing of it he's the star of it and who's getting paid his family wow and it's supposedly
00:37:59.140
going to be good well based on what they did with carrie fisher i believe i believe they can do it
00:38:05.380
so weird because you didn't when you're watching star wars you don't even think that she's dead
00:38:12.160
it makes her death almost irrelevant yeah i mean it was just so weird very strange so weird
00:38:17.940

realestateagentsitrust.com that's realestateagentsitrust.com you're listening to glenn beck
00:40:08.720
welcome to the uh welcome to the program uh we were just talking off the air about how
00:40:16.340
uh cars are not holding their value anymore because of all of the new technology that is out
00:40:23.300
and uh you know you used to go in and at least i would you know you'd go in and you try to buy a
00:40:29.800
new car but you'd buy the new car you'd buy a 2019 today because you'd get a big savings on it
00:40:35.740
but people are not buying the 2019 because the 2020 has so much more technology on it and if you go
00:40:43.800
back and you look at an uh an older car it looks dated inside and so if you're somebody who trades cars
00:40:51.300
in every four years uh you're gonna start to get hurt um because that car is a it it's almost
00:41:00.420
making the idea of the fleet now this is according to one of the guys we talked to he was the former
00:41:08.280
chairman of the board of gm i think he said gm won't be making cars the way we think about cars today
00:41:15.720
by 2030 he said there'll be fleets and most people won't own their cars and that was such a hard thing
00:41:22.680
for somebody of my age to think not owning a car but the way cars are changing in technology
00:41:29.900
the the only car that's gonna not look completely outdated or be completely outdated is tesla because
00:41:38.620
it will update its software all the time and so when you want that new you know that new thing
00:41:46.260
you just update the car well gm all these other car companies are not doing that which makes the
00:41:54.240
resale value of your car go dramatically down more on houses of the future coming up
00:42:03.780
i found an old article from him in 2014 um because i was led down this rabbit trail
00:42:19.900
on trying to figure out uh who suli uh who suli mani was the guy that we killed over uh in baghdad
00:42:28.360
and he's clearly a very bad guy and there's some things that happened prior to his death starting in
00:42:36.960
april of last year that show that this was not a quick decision this has been well thought out for
00:42:46.460
quite some time and things really have changed well as i started doing my research i find this article
00:42:52.740
from uh ken timberman he is the guy who wrote a book called dark forces i completely forgot about it
00:43:00.300
he he wrote this article in 2014 when the book came out 45 seconds it's a book about the dark forces
00:43:08.760
including um suli uh suli mani and i don't think america really understands who we who we killed
00:43:19.020
i mean if you were cheering for osama bin laden's death you should be cheering for this guy's death
00:43:25.120
really if you're cheering for hitler's death uh you should be cheering for this guy's death this is a
00:43:32.140
very very bad guy and no matter what the press or the the um controlled media in iran are trying to
00:43:40.400
tell you that's not the story we give that to you next
00:43:44.640
the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment so what is happening in iran are we headed towards
00:44:10.960
world war iii what are the what are the rulers in iran thinking who is this guy we killed in bagdad
00:44:21.060
was the president just going off half cocked that and my review of 1917 when we come back this is the
00:44:31.000
glenbeck program in one minute stand by david was an avid fan of the game of golf however there came a
00:44:37.880
time when he was no longer able to play because of extreme and frequent pain in his left hand and
00:44:44.220
his right knee and he had to give up golf and that was bad enough but being in pain all the time was
00:44:50.100
the real problem david was desperate for some kind of relief and that's when he discovered relief factor
00:44:55.460
and like many people he was skeptical but he decided to give it a try and within two days david could
00:45:00.680
hold a golf club again soon he was back out swinging the club playing as well as he ever did before
00:45:07.360
david is not a skeptic anymore he's a believer because he's seen it in his own life of relief
00:45:14.920
factor relief factor reduces the inflammation the major source for most of our pain it's 1999 you'll
00:45:22.560
get a three-week quick start that's a small risk for the potential of a lifetime with less pain if
00:45:28.680
you're looking for a drug-free natural way to ease your pain and get your life life back go to
00:45:37.440
we go to uh kenneth timberman he is um he's the author of dark forces that came out a few years ago
00:45:56.880
um and he really knows about who this guy was that we we killed um last week at the airport of
00:46:07.480
baghdad a lot of people are upset i don't think you should be upset because i don't think the real
00:46:12.420
iranian people are all that upset either uh they're probably cheering the death of this guy at least the
00:46:20.140
people that want to be free uh welcome to the program ken how are you i'm doing great thanks for
00:46:25.980
having me on glenn you bet important topic okay so tell me who this guy is before you get back to
00:46:33.000
what you really discovered uh in libya tell us just generally who this guy is
00:46:39.100
uh well he is uh as you mentioned he's as bad as bin laden uh he is the chief terrorist of the
00:46:47.000
iranian regime he runs a whole legion of overseas terror operators called the quds force that means the
00:46:54.180
jerusalem force uh their goal is to spread the iranian ideology and the regime itself to over to
00:47:01.600
foreign countries so they're present in lebanon they're present in syria they're present in yemen
00:47:06.660
they're present in iraq afghanistan they're the ones who command terror attacks they're the ones who
00:47:12.840
were going to blow up the saudi ambassador in the watergate hotel in washington dc plant a bomb there
00:47:19.760
because they didn't like the guy take out perhaps a hundred people having lunch in the downtown
00:47:25.520
washington dc this was 2011 uh he blew up the israeli embassies in uh in buenos aires killed
00:47:33.060
86 jews at a jewish center there in 1994 that was also one of their operations he is the worst of the
00:47:40.740
worst and in addition he is the best that they've got so we just took out somebody incredibly important
00:47:47.980
for the regime okay what people don't understand is that the regime the elected regime is all hands
00:47:55.800
selected by the real regime the the mullahs and the ayatollah that actually run everything and this guy
00:48:03.540
did not report to the elected officials he reported right directly to the ayatollah correct he was his
00:48:11.580
right hand man and uh you see again and again pictures of the two of them together uh he was
00:48:17.560
doing the bidding of the supreme leader and i can tell you today glenn that the supreme leader himself
00:48:23.600
personally is shaking in his uh plimsolls um and why do you say that well because he realizes that the
00:48:32.880
u.s no longer is going to be bound by the diplomatic constraints that have held us back in the past uh there
00:48:40.540
has been a kind of taboo if you wish on hitting people like soleimani um for many many years and
00:48:47.240
this is from the state department it's from the pentagon i'll give you one example uh in 2007
00:48:52.180
uh seven they uh his people kidnapped five american soldiers in iraq in karabala and murdered them
00:49:00.380
and instead of striking back at soleimani we released some of his people that had been arrested
00:49:07.900
in iraq soleimani and the quds force were responsible for approximately 600 deaths of
00:49:14.600
u.s soldiers in iraq with uh specially formed uh explosively formed penetrators these are uh
00:49:21.240
you know warheads that are planted in ieds along the road very very deadly i've written about this
00:49:27.160
quite a bit you can see that at kentimmerman.com and he we did nothing we did not retaliate against
00:49:33.820
so now the supreme leader realizes the gloves are off he could be next and certainly for sure
00:49:40.200
the man who replaces soleimani should he conduct similar operations against americans he is definitely
00:49:46.120
going to be next so it's almost as if history is repeating itself in in some ways um under the obama
00:49:52.660
administration uh we had the benghazi consulate attacked and then when iran tries to do it again
00:50:01.760
with a new reagan if you will somebody who thinks a little like reagan uh we don't put up with it
00:50:08.840
we put up with it under um barack obama and in fact your reporting shows that that soleimani was the
00:50:17.500
architect of the benghazi um nightmare he was indeed and i know this uh primarily from iranian sources but
00:50:28.180
also from americans who were who were uh had access to some of the briefings before the 9-11
00:50:33.940
attacks and to a very key document which is in my uh one of my books on benghazi called deception
00:50:40.000
uh this is a defense intelligence agency after action report uh delivered to then director michael
00:50:48.420
flynn michael flynn remember who was uh then the became the national security advisor to president
00:50:54.100
trump and was going to clean house and the intelligence agencies and then and of the deep
00:50:57.960
state well flynn asked the entire defense intelligence community what happened in benghazi
00:51:04.080
on september 11 2012 and i specifically want you to tell me what we knew about the kud's force
00:51:09.840
involvement that means soleimani and the al-qaeda involvement the report that came back which i've
00:51:15.960
published you can see it at kentimmerman.com or in my book deceptions that report came back six pages
00:51:21.880
the first three pages were on the kud's force involvement everything that we knew about them
00:51:25.900
everything that we knew about qasem soleimani in the benghazi attacks blanked out three pages of it
00:51:32.100
and then the last three pages were about al-qaeda and al-qaeda affiliates and there you see a sentence
00:51:37.480
here a sentence there but we knew a lot the u.s intelligence community knew a lot and i've written
00:51:43.060
about that in my books on benghazi all right um let's go to the um the the embassy in baghdad
00:51:52.960
he was the driving force behind that attack absolutely and uh and i think we know pretty
00:52:01.220
clearly by now from what secretary of state pompeo has said and the president the u.s intelligence
00:52:06.780
community knew it they knew that soleimani was behind uh that uh you know they were they were
00:52:12.920
attempting glenn to repeat what happened in benghazi correct they thought that they could uh storm the
00:52:18.100
embassy and that we would just cave and nobody would come there'd be no reinforcements no one would
00:52:23.340
come to the rescue well what a difference a president makes this president immediately sent 100 marines
00:52:29.660
from kuwait they secured the embassy and the attackers dispersed uh as opposed to what happened in
00:52:35.360
benghazi what do you say about the i'm just quoting a headline here millions of angry mourners from all
00:52:43.620
walks of life participate in separate separate funeral ceremonies held in the southwestern city
00:52:49.460
blah blah blah blah blah blah of the uh of the martyr soleimani uh well i don't see them joining in the
00:52:57.660
ranks of martyrdom with him let's just put it that way we've always known the regime is capable of
00:53:03.480
mustering a crowd uh in many cases they pay people to come they they let them get off work they oblige
00:53:10.100
government employees to attend these mass rallies to chant death with america and many times when
00:53:16.700
when the cameras pan out or you get somebody from a uh pro-freedom movement taking a a youtube video and
00:53:23.220
they post it you see that uh when the camera pans out there's nobody in the square there's a there's a
00:53:28.840
tight crowd around the speaker up front and then there's nobody in the rest of the square uh these
00:53:34.100
are rent mobs uh the people of iran who are sick and tired of these tyrants who've been governing them
00:53:40.560
for 40 years and era 40 years of darkness in iran the people of iran are celebrating and i know this
00:53:47.000
i've seen it all over uh social media they're very active in social media when the regime does not block
00:53:52.760
the internet they've been celebrating the demise of qasem soleimani and can't and can't wait until
00:53:58.920
the rest of the tyrants go with him um people are trying to make donald trump look like this was just
00:54:05.920
something that you know he's doing because he wanted people not to pay attention to uh the uh impeachment
00:54:13.120
which is what a lot of conservatives said about the bombing of the aspirin factory during the uh the
00:54:19.780
monica lewinski thing when uh bill clinton was going after osama bin laden who americans didn't
00:54:27.140
know at the time um but this you know i was reading this and it it talked about how we have we've always
00:54:34.440
been following him but the white house told the pentagon i want to know where this guy is 24 7 at all
00:54:41.740
times back in may it was also back in may that um we we put uh the could's force on and the ir what is
00:54:52.100
it the irg uh ci rgc uh put them on uh the terror watch list for the first time which he is you know a
00:55:01.660
controlling member of obviously um there was a defection of a very high uh ranking intelligence
00:55:10.520
officer who seems to be like the uh a uh a walking knock list in a way and he defected in april and
00:55:22.580
brought all kinds of classified documents with him is there any connection between his defection
00:55:28.700
and this killing and the the upping of everything in may right after his defection
00:55:35.260
very good point that you raise glenn and i really haven't heard anybody else
00:55:40.280
connect those dots extremely important you talk about this defector he was the head of the
00:55:46.380
intelligence unit of the islamic republic uh revolutionary guards corps uh and he did come out
00:55:52.820
uh and you know clearly you say a walking knock list he knew everything that the irgc and that the
00:56:00.200
cuts force were doing did he give the united states the ability to track soleimani in real time i don't
00:56:06.560
know i don't i don't know about i'm not asking about that i'm asking did he bring information do you
00:56:12.260
believe that um proved or opened uh the eyes of the administration or the pentagon and was enough
00:56:21.040
evidence to know this guy we have to watch because he's all over the world and we may have to take
00:56:28.300
him out i think what happened is that he essentially made it so crystal clear that soleimani was never
00:56:37.660
going to put down the gloves he was never going to stop killing our people and that we had to take
00:56:42.100
action i think that really i think you're right i think that tipped the balance and that by the way is
00:56:46.480
when you hear mike pompeo he was interviewed right shortly after that defector came out and he said
00:56:51.540
yes we put uh qasem soleimani uh all back on back on the terrorist he was taken off he personally was
00:56:57.940
taken off by barack obama uh at the moment of the iran deal so pompeo said we put him back on the
00:57:04.700
terrorist and some tv interviewer said well does that mean that we're going to do the same thing
00:57:09.240
to him that we did to osama bin laden and pompeo just gives him that icy stare and says he's a
00:57:16.020
terrorist all right so let me ask you a final question where does this go is is iran and the
00:57:25.560
mullahs and the ayatollah are they enough of 12ers that they believe that they're going to wash the
00:57:33.100
world in blood and this is a good thing for them to retaliate or are they in butt uh saving mode and
00:57:40.060
may strike but they're not going to really they're not going to have their fingerprints
00:57:45.480
really well known on anything well let me tell you i've thought about that an awful lot and uh there's
00:57:52.520
something to be said on both sides but here's where i come down on this look at ayatollah khomeini the
00:57:57.340
founder of the islamic republic of iran he died at the age of 88 comfortably in his bed of old age the
00:58:05.600
leaders of this regime they can be 12ers and they can try to send the masses out to martyrdom but they
00:58:11.140
themselves are going to save their rear ends they've got airplanes waiting to take them out of
00:58:15.900
the country should the regime start to fall i think they're going to save themselves and i think the
00:58:21.020
person and the people who have replaced qasem sulaimani are not going to take dramatic action
00:58:26.700
against the united states because they know they're next and is um is this something that
00:58:33.560
uh we play out we would be well advised to play out by playing this almost like the collapse of the
00:58:43.260
soviet union tighten sanctions help the people on the streets uh and make sure everybody knows
00:58:50.240
how evil this regime really is but we don't have to lob any bullets or any men over there
00:58:56.680
absolutely not but and you're right this is like the collapse of the soviet union
00:59:01.540
we can sit back enjoy it but help the people of iran i think what we ought to be doing
00:59:07.300
and apparently we now have the capability of doing this is make sure whenever the regime shuts off the
00:59:13.840
internet that we turn it back on so the people of iran can communicate to the rest of the world
00:59:18.620
so the regime cannot kill in darkness thank you so much i appreciate it kenneth timmerman he is the
00:59:24.580
author of many books one of them dark forces uh you can find him at uh ken timmerman

01:01:30.260
um however ricky gervais is one of my favorites i he is brilliant he is brave his his acting is good
01:01:40.320
his directing is great his writing is great and he's unafraid we need more ricky gervaises listen to
01:01:48.320
what he said in his opening monologue last night at the golden globes he he just handed them their
01:01:57.040
heads which i love which i love you know who he is he's the new don imus that's what don imus
01:02:06.940
used to do and i'm gonna share a story about don imus at the end of the program today but that's how
01:02:13.980
you know people like well don imus he was a racist why would you say those things because why why is
01:02:20.500
ricky saying these things why is he saying that he doesn't care he doesn't care he doesn't care he
01:02:27.560
doesn't care and you know what some of them are as he said just jokes they are just jokes but other
01:02:35.160
others you know need to be said need to be said to these highfalutin pompous a-holes
01:02:43.960
then there's a level of celebrity that he has that is he can get away with it at least for a
01:02:50.320
while i mean i think louis ck also had that same level and he was saying things that were really
01:02:54.260
uncomfortable and i remember at times being like i can't believe they allow him to keep saying these
01:02:57.760
things they allow him that's that's so un-american well i know totally right yeah um however of course
01:03:03.000
now we see that that was not eventually he did go away uh after all of that and i don't know if the
01:03:09.400
same thing will happen they're already looking for his old tweets for ricky gervais now they're
01:03:13.040
already publishing articles in left-wing publications about how you should look back
01:03:17.080
at the things he said they're very offensive here's your guide ricky gervais is he's a hero i just love
01:03:24.320

888-727-BECK is the phone number uh we were talking about the golden globes a little bit
01:05:22.660
uh before and ricky gervais lighting up the press uh or the hollywood foreign press and hollywood in
01:05:28.600
general over their pathetic actions uh and and it's funny because they're so critical they're they're
01:05:34.820
able to go on there and make all these speeches about global warming and they can't even stop molesting
01:05:39.140
their actresses it's like can you at least stop touching every single 22 year old that walks by you
01:05:45.660
then you can tell us about the 0.8 degrees temperature rise at that point we'll start
01:05:51.360
listening to you wanting to control the thermostat for the globe so i don't try not grabbing each and
01:05:58.020
every breast that walks by you and then you give us the temperature advice yeah so uh ricky gervais took
01:06:04.660
them down beyond that i don't really care what the hollywood foreign press says about uh any movie
01:06:11.860
i don't i've never what did win a golden globe i've never done that especially i mean the oscars
01:06:18.020
have that status at some level used to i think they used to yeah i think that's i think it's
01:06:24.380
definitely fallen off but there's something about winning best picture as a for an oscar that i think
01:06:29.420
has at least some cachet to it yeah and i think golden globes there's some level because they hit
01:06:35.180
television yeah so you hit maybe a little bit with that i don't know no more than anything else it's just
01:06:41.360
a ricky gervais stand-up thing which i love great it's like a roast yeah it's fantastic and that's
01:06:46.280
exactly what he did last night he roasted them um i think i think 1917 won best picture yeah yeah i did
01:06:54.100
which was a surprise right they were they're expecting it to be maybe the irishman which was
01:06:58.540
okay it was okay it was i didn't think it was fantastic so let me recommend i have uh i saw this
01:07:05.980
movie twice while i was on vacation it's that good um my son and i have been waiting for this film
01:07:14.900
uh for since the first time we saw the the trailer we were like oh my gosh and we love war movies
01:07:23.400
um lone survivor american sniper the pinnacle has got to be saving private ryan and i don't hold out
01:07:32.460
you know hopes that something is going to be as good as saving private ryan uh very often this one
01:07:39.120
uh we did and we convinced mom to come with us and we took two veterans with us of very different wars
01:07:47.600
one was a vietnam veteran and one was a veteran of afghanistan in fact two we took three actually
01:07:54.840
um over the two viewings um and two of them were from afghanistan all of us walked in walking in with
01:08:05.680
high high hopes and we all walked out with our hopes and expectations surpassed uh it is i mean
01:08:17.960
we were all hoping that it would be good as good as saving private ryan and we all came back out
01:08:25.020
going i think it's better i think it's better than saving private ryan and that that is i mean that's
01:08:31.520
a really high standard and warning now that i've said that your expectations are going to be so high
01:08:37.240
you're going to be like no it wasn't that's basically the highest compliment you can pay to a war movie
01:08:42.940
here's why i'm a big fan of alfred hitchcock and alfred hitchcock did a movie that very few people
01:08:50.860
saw called rope with jimmy stewart and uh he wanted it to be with no edits and he wanted it to be with
01:08:59.740
no edits because two reasons one it was a stage play and two uh he felt it drew you into the movie
01:09:07.740
more if you never take your eyes off you feel like you're in the room so that has three edits in
01:09:13.900
it and i think they're 18 minutes apart something like that uh this movie the director wanted to do
01:09:21.180
the same thing now the longest stretch i'm told was eight minutes an eight minute take however i cannot
01:09:30.360
see the edits in this movie i don't know where they edited sometimes you know it's really easy they go
01:09:35.860
down a you know a dark shadowy hallway and you you know there's the edit i don't know where the edits
01:09:42.160
are in this one uh and it the reason why that makes a difference is because it's all shot from their
01:09:49.960
perspective so it's all shot as if you're standing in the trenches and you're bumping by all the people
01:09:59.400
and you know you're sitting on a body or you're right there running with them on the field it is
01:10:06.960
it it makes this movie an experience i i want to see it on imax because i think imax would be
01:10:15.440
awesome with this movie um so i think it changes the story the feeling of this movie it becomes an
01:10:27.180
experience and not just a movie and world war one was one of the most brutal uh wars in in all of our
01:10:36.900
history uh and or at least modern history and i don't think we can really truly imagine what it
01:10:44.120
was like and that kind of bothered me going in i thought oh geez this thing's going to be so bloody
01:10:51.560
uh but it wasn't um it it it is impactful and you the only thing missing from this movie is the smell
01:11:03.440
um but you gain an understanding without the you know blood's blood soaked ocean and beaches
01:11:14.040
it's it's it's really weird uh it's i don't think nearly as graphic as saving private ryan and yet
01:11:23.780
even without the graphics it makes saving private ryan in some ways and and no offense to that because
01:11:30.700
i hold it in the highest regard in some ways it feels like a disneyfied version of war
01:11:36.920
and it's never felt this way before but it did this time because this one you don't see the hollywood
01:11:46.020
actors this one revolves around two guys and i don't really know who they who they are they might
01:11:54.860
be famous i don't know i don't really care um but they became just people that were on the nameless
01:12:03.300
faceless guys who fought and died in world war one and there are some big names in this but they play
01:12:09.960
very small parts and so you it becomes just these people that you didn't know and that changes the
01:12:22.200
experience as well and then there's something else that the director did that maybe is my imagination
01:12:28.600
but i don't think it is um i haven't read about it anywhere um and it's something that's so subtle
01:12:34.880
i don't know if most people will even notice but did you see the ken burn not ken burns documentary um
01:12:40.400
uh what's his name made lord of the rings uh the documentary that was made on world war one
01:12:45.820
peter jackson peter jackson where he colorized everything he cleaned up the film did you ever see
01:12:51.080
that i think i did it's amazing it's amazing um it's it's only amazing because it becomes
01:12:58.580
real to you for the first time world war one has always seemed black and white fuzzy you know
01:13:05.280
choppy movements and fast you know it it's not real it's not that long ago they colorized the a lot
01:13:12.800
of that world war ii stuff with hitler up in the you know his hideaway there i mean that's not even
01:13:18.140
that long ago so this becomes real and and world war one was real to me because my grandfather
01:13:24.400
my grandfather on the back side he was in world war one and we had one of those old oval pictures
01:13:31.100
with the round glass on it do you remember even seeing those they were from around the world war
01:13:35.680
one period uh and uh he was in his uniform and it was colorized because they didn't have color film
01:13:42.920
back then and so it was colorized there are parts of this movie especially towards the end where he's
01:13:49.220
washed the color out so much that it and i don't think the average person would know this but it
01:13:55.440
looks a lot like the peter jackson it looks a lot like that photograph that i remember so while it
01:14:02.040
becomes real he's also enhanced it with his use of color to make it even more real if you saw those
01:14:11.680
pictures or you watched peter jackson he he didn't bring it i don't know at least part of it felt like
01:14:19.940
it didn't bring it all the way to today it still had that feeling of of yesterday at least towards the
01:14:28.060
end maybe it was my imagination but i don't think so the storyline the the the shots the all of it
01:14:38.060
is just exactly what we hoped uh that it would be in my opinion my wife liked it um all the vets that
01:14:47.940
went with me all said at the end that is only lacking the smell that's only lacking the smell
01:14:55.360
um we all agreed because we walked out and none of us were willing to say it
01:15:01.060
we all said it like this i i i think that's better than saving private ryan we all were just
01:15:10.120
we all have reverence for that movie um but this you leave you leave the theater saving private ryan
01:15:18.380
you you really understood what war was really like world war ii was like you'll have the same
01:15:25.460
feeling about world war one but in this one it's as if you're going to witness the act of heroism as
01:15:32.940
if there was a camera as if you were there because you become part of it and the movie stars with great
01:15:41.280
special effects all just go away this makes saving private ryan feel like a movie a disneyfied kind
01:15:50.900
of movie um without more blood or gore and saying that this is a movie cheapens it but saying this
01:15:59.180
is a film makes it into something with pretense and this doesn't have any pretense i think this is in
01:16:05.600
a category of its own i think this is a war experience i think you go into this and you're going to feel
01:16:14.520
like you were in the trenches it rings true it rings authentic and personally i think the slogan of
01:16:28.600
ransomware malware spyware underwear you really only need one of these things in your life
01:16:41.420
uh and that really kind of depends you'd think that if you're using a password protective wi-fi

source you'd be good but unfortunately you'd be wrong cyber criminals can hack your connection
01:16:52.140

we are uh so appreciative of that and we are thrilled to be on wlvl hometown am 1340 and fm 105.3
01:18:50.100
in uh in buffalo and you you join us on a good day because uh today's the day that uh
01:18:56.440
stew lost to the seahawks and uh welcome the new affiliate with uh thinking about an nfl football
01:19:03.880
right now on a very tough weekend for the bills fans as well you want to you want to align yourself
01:19:09.060
with evil is that what you want is that what you want to do sorry seattle um uh oh it's crushing
01:19:15.020
this is of course the one day a year you should know this if you're a new listener in buffalo
01:19:18.880
the one day a year glen cares about sports yeah which is the day after the eagles lose yeah i
01:19:24.400
don't care it's the only day he cares because he wants to torture me about it yes and i and i
01:19:28.640
relish that i appreciate that i know you do you know uh i could certainly point out it was unfortunate
01:19:36.080
that you know most of the players on the team at this point were not even in the league at the
01:19:41.560
beginning of the season yeah it doesn't really matter it seems like potentially there's a strategy
01:19:46.120
to take out the one healthy player they had i can point that out but that would make me sound
01:19:50.980
like a complainer which of course it would make you sound like a sore loser yeah somebody who's just
01:19:56.100
uh you know well what about i don't i don't engage in what about is the only good i mean the only good
01:20:02.340
thing about it is uh most of the people around here unlike you because you have a real strong rooting
01:20:08.320
interest of the seattle seahawks as of today uh but uh everyone here are cowboys fans did the
01:20:15.020
seattle seahawks beat the uh eagles uh they did yeah they well at least they practiced squad
01:20:19.940
preseason version of the eagles yes they did beat them um however most of the people around here are
01:20:25.280
are cowboys fans and it's it's very difficult for them to really talk trash to anybody at this point
01:20:33.300
i mean the browns fans are talking trash but i can i can switch teams at any time yeah that's true
01:20:38.460
matter i have no loyalty so i can anybody who beats the eagles i'm there you're like so many people
01:20:44.320
in politics right now you just go with whatever position's popular at that moment that's so i was
01:20:48.520
with i was with somebody who uh wanted so desperately to tease you about the seahawks and i said you're
01:20:56.380
not you're you're not teasing him right now and he's like oh no he's very superstitious no stew has
01:21:02.440
rules you don't like you don't talk about it until at least half time is that true you don't engage
01:21:08.400
i have to know the context of this i am very understanding of uh i feel like if i talk trash
01:21:16.360
about my team they will definitely lose like it's that moment when i start talking trash and i get
01:21:22.800
confident that they always lose so i never get confident and and they still lose a lot but at
01:21:28.600
least they win a few games before they lose and of course there was the glorious uh only it's only
01:21:32.840
two super bowls ago where uh the uh the the miracle of all miracles occurred and the eagles
01:21:38.240
actually won the super bowl um and i will never forget it it's the only it's really the defining
01:21:43.600
moment of my life at this point i don't know says a lot about my life experience but hey these people
01:21:50.860
you're the guy who you're the guy who bought your wife a new oven for christmas oh we're all out of
01:21:57.800
time wait but i talk about that there's a lot more to tell him oh shoot no let's just i but let's
01:22:03.000
just point out that stew for christmas thought it would be a good idea to buy his wife an oven
01:22:10.500
because as stew will tell you the little women need to be kept at home you know cooking in the kitchen
01:22:18.360
i i don't but unfortunately we are completely out of time for him to define it any other way
01:22:25.640
we still have some back in a minute an hour you're listening to glenn beck

that clip uh because i i mean that sounded a lot like my grandpa right before he died you know he's just
01:23:47.840
kind of like and we did a lot of stuff and uh it was great we built it we built a farm one year
01:23:57.400
and it was uh better than all the other farms and you're like you're joe are you are you are you
01:24:07.700
okay he sounded really slow and slurry and he seems to be turning the intensity down down somehow which
01:24:14.460
is it didn't seem possible no it didn't it didn't we're going to talk to steve days here next uh because
01:24:20.060
we're going to get into politics now uh with uh with iowa right around the corner steve is probably
01:24:27.380
not probably he is the best on the ground at politics in iowa he lives there he knows it inside
01:24:35.400
and out and he'll give us the real feeling on the ground uh coming up in in just a second
01:24:58.960
i don't know about you but i'm blown away that we're not talking about impeachment we're now
01:25:10.000
talking about something even more serious how this president has endangered people's lives
01:25:16.760
and how this reckless president is just stirring up trouble in the middle east a perfectly calm area
01:25:25.360
that we had mastered uh-huh uh-huh so now this is the new attack now he's a warmonger
01:25:35.780
okay why are they doing this because they don't have anyone with any ideas that anyone wants to hear
01:25:44.400
we go to iowa and the best guy to talk to about politics and how things are shaping up in iowa
01:25:52.560

01:27:55.520
gentlemen happy new year i'm just patiently waiting for those articles of impeachment to be filed how are
01:28:01.620
you oh just uh it's electric isn't it i mean it's just electric they've it's almost like they've
01:28:08.140
forgotten about them you know the democrats are now just on right on to something else oh my gosh i ran
01:28:14.260
that's why he should be out of here indeed 2018 ended with trump's a nazi so give him all your guns
01:28:20.740
and 2019 ended with trump is an existential clear and present danger to our democracy so let's sit on
01:28:27.100
these articles of impeachment for three damn weeks makes it crazy just crazy um okay steve let's talk
01:28:33.120
about iowa and what's happening with the democratic party i want to play a clip from joe biden and listen
01:28:40.560
to this he sounds like my grandpa did right before he passed away where he's not really fully engaged here
01:28:47.840
listen to this iran announced today that it's accelerating this nuclear program guess who loses
01:28:56.800
that i suppose america and its allies as us there was an airtight agreement we had with inspectors on
01:29:04.140
the ground the most intrusive inspection in all of human history not hyperbole we knew exactly we're in
01:29:11.340
every single facility the international atomic energy agency and they were not violent they're
01:29:17.540
not good guys but they were not moving is it just me or is he sound a little uh
01:29:25.920
unexcited unexcited let's put it that way well i thought robert stack's voiced character in beavis
01:29:34.660
butthead to america actually did the most intrusive inspections in human history but that aside um i
01:29:42.380
you know what you're pointing out glenn is what i have been saying on on my show for the last couple
01:29:46.440
of months and and i'm not trying to be hot takey so i i got that hot take out of the way and i want to
01:29:51.740
be really serious this he sounds like the average guy who's 80 years old he does lived a long life and
01:29:58.040
done a lot in his life and and been in a lot in a lot of high stress situations yes i i don't think
01:30:04.140
he can do the job and i think that if if he were leading a rival investment group to take over a
01:30:10.360
fortune 500 publicly traded company and you were in the other investment group i think you could at
01:30:15.640
least get a hearing in front of a judge about his competency level of whether he's legally competent
01:30:19.840
or not i agree and i think that's and i think that's why he has not taken off in this race and if
01:30:26.900
you live here in iowa you see two joe bidens um you see the one in the ads he's running a great ad
01:30:32.260
right now again looking at it from a democratic mindset he's running a great ad right now and he
01:30:36.980
sounds presidential about how terrible trump is and if i only listen to that ad and i was a rural iowan
01:30:42.600
who remembered him for with barack obama for eight years that's the guy i would vote for but if i went
01:30:48.320
out there on the campaign trail and actually saw him without the makeup and without the script and
01:30:53.000
just interacted with him retail style i would walk away shaking my head thinking i i don't know that
01:30:57.820
this guy can be president and i think that's why you know when he first burst onto the scene
01:31:02.480
last march he had you know poll numbers on the national level into the 40s we've never seen
01:31:07.580
anything like this really maybe since fred thompson was your flavor of the month 10 years ago and then
01:31:12.680
the more and more voters in iowa new hampshire have gotten a chance to look at him you've seen his
01:31:17.340
numbers on the state level have flatlined compared to just the national name id contest and it's because
01:31:22.760
when you look at him up close you just don't think he's up to the job but he but he still is
01:31:27.620
number one he still is is he going to take iowa do you think i don't i don't believe he'll win iowa
01:31:32.820
and i think you know national polling in prime in these primaries is irrelevant and here's why
01:31:38.320
it doesn't matter what anybody in new york's opinion or california or montana yes or new mexico's
01:31:44.200
opinion is they're not voting right now and by the time the process gets to them a lot of these
01:31:48.380
candidates are going to be gone and a lot of candidates are gone already so it really only matters
01:31:52.600
right now what iowa new hampshire and then nevada and south carolina thing all right so what is
01:31:57.660
happening in iowa what's happening in iowa is you know democrats have lanes just like republicans do
01:32:03.840
with evangelicals and libertarians and the bush wing well there's wings in the democratic and you
01:32:08.760
know ted cruz used to call them lanes there's there's lanes in the democratic party as well and
01:32:12.820
the problem they're having is no one is able to break out of their native lane to consolidate
01:32:18.380
support and so what we have now is you have pete budigich he is the candidate of the uh white
01:32:23.860
suburbanites who desperately want a virtue signal to the leftists who hate them who who you know drive
01:32:29.100
a subaru live in a cul-de-sac with a coexist bumper sticker and they love pete budigich because they're
01:32:34.080
anxious to show you they're not a homophobe they've not looked at his they've not looked at his
01:32:38.000
qualifications that's his only qualification to them and then you have the the college campus feminist
01:32:44.020
hard left crowd loves elizabeth warren and then you have you know your old school democratic you
01:32:50.660
know traditional labor socially moderate uh by today's standards anyway democratic party that
01:32:56.820
likes joe biden and these and you've got these candidates now and bernie sanders is in there he's
01:33:01.800
got his own base you know that he's sort of the ron paul of the democratic party has his own insurgency
01:33:07.320
base and he's eating into some of elizabeth warren's a little bit as well but these four right now it is
01:33:12.780
very fluid um impeachment has chloroformed the room it's like if you open the door you would
01:33:18.400
realize it's a zero it's a zero oxygen room i couldn't breathe in here it there's it's made
01:33:23.920
everything stale so i would take all polling numbers and everything else and i would not listen
01:33:28.840
to any of that until about a week from now i will tell you that you know the the bloomberg register
01:33:34.680
iowa poll has been pretty good over the years that's ann seltzer's group i think she's actually with
01:33:39.720
cnn now they actually called me yesterday so i'm worried about how tight their uh turnout numbers
01:33:45.140
are if they're calling me for a democratic poll okay but i would i would wait and see what their
01:33:50.560
numbers show and then i would wait for this last debate before the caucuses and i could just throw
01:33:56.120
in one more thing too this is this is i mean february 3rd we don't know what the weather's going to be
01:34:00.660
like so let's say there's a massive ice storm and rural iowans can't get to their caucus site
01:34:05.220
but a bunch of campus feminists can just walk across the quad at iowa iowa state grinnell etc
01:34:10.400
that could make a huge difference where this is concerned and then glenn something your audience
01:34:14.840
needs to know is the way that the iowa caucuses are structured in the democratic side is different
01:34:20.020
than in the republican side you know you're not going to get four or five six candidates with two
01:34:23.880
percent on the democratic side they're going to have a straw poll for relevancy right away and they
01:34:28.820
get in that room you know 10 years ago in the 08 caucuses when it was open on both ends
01:34:32.660
my caucus site we shared a site with the democrats in the in the hall over us we could not hear
01:34:38.880
ourselves think it was like a labor rally and so they get into that room and the emotion and the
01:34:43.680
and the ethos begins and the id starts to flow and and there's wide swings of opinions and college
01:34:49.480
girls start bringing their their moms and grandmas and say don't you want to vote for elizabeth
01:34:53.500
warren i i think you know that creates a very fluid environment i do think we know who the top four
01:34:59.880
are going to be i think though knowing the order is tough and keep in mind not since 1989 1988 was the
01:35:07.080
last time there was a contested democratic caucus that the winner of the iowa caucuses did not win
01:35:12.780
the the nomination so anyone who tells you iowa doesn't matter just doesn't know history or they're
01:35:19.300
just not telling you the truth so what are the iowans waiting for what are they looking for
01:35:25.580
uh that would be game changing in the next couple of weeks this is really all about there's one issue
01:35:32.120
that is paramount who can defeat donald trump the problem is while that you would think and we've
01:35:36.960
seen if you've seen this in the republican party in the past well we anybody but obama but the problem
01:35:41.500
is there's not an agreement on what that looks like does a technocrat who doesn't address divisive
01:35:47.720
issues and gives you a reassuring persona like a mitt romney does that beat barack obama
01:35:52.220
does putting mit romney or barack obama on a national stage to have a worldview clash like
01:35:57.360
a rick santorum or a newt gingrich does that do it and so there's the same arguments happening in
01:36:02.020
the democratic side i know it sounds nuts to us but if you follow their media and their twitter
01:36:07.360
they think the reason they're losing to him is they're not nasty enough and they don't lie as much
01:36:11.900
um and and so there's that there's that debate that is and i know stew follows that so i'm sure he
01:36:17.400
can verify that for me so there's that whole debate and then there's the debate of we need a
01:36:22.080
mainstream american source all right and so you know there's that that's that's actually what joe
01:36:27.660
biden and pete budigich are both running for that pete budigich never ever mentions homosexuality in
01:36:32.840
his ads here um he doesn't come across as any kind of activist no effeminacy or anything of that nature
01:36:39.800
he talks about being a soldier a mayor of a small town in a red state and so he is he is he has kind of
01:36:46.040
eaten into some of joe biden's support with that crowd as well do you think that there the couple
01:36:51.520
of narratives that come out of this at least in the political media is one the caucus sort of
01:36:57.300
situation you talked about earlier that's raucous and really you know has passionate supporters is a
01:37:02.000
big indicator of potential upside for bernie sanders and that you get into the room where it looks like
01:37:08.300
warren's finishing third or fourth and those sanders people are going to bring the warren people
01:37:12.880
over to sanders at the last minute and that you know with his fundraising numbers he's doing well
01:37:17.460
in new hampshire there's a good poll for him today that i mean there is a path here for bernie sanders
01:37:22.220
to be the nominee do you buy into that i do and i didn't a few months ago his i know it sounds morbid
01:37:28.820
but we started off talking about joe biden's competency so let's just go ahead and you know and round
01:37:33.520
third while we're at it here but his candidacy has taken off since his heart attack he was dead in the
01:37:38.180
water he was pulling single digits in iowa single digits nationally he was behind elizabeth warren in
01:37:44.940
new hampshire um his his heart attack has as has if you go back and look at where his metrics were
01:37:51.740
pre that event to where they have been since there's no question that that has been a galvanizing moment
01:37:57.240
so you have to ask yourself what the hell is wrong with people i mean a heart attack in an old guy
01:38:04.880
ronald reagan even i mean that is not uh good news for somebody who's walking into a very high
01:38:13.180
stress job no but i think it i think for his base it sort of coalesced them that hey we've got a
01:38:20.380
window of opportunity to go full soviet we can't lose this that was number one and then and then and
01:38:25.960
then number two is elizabeth warren made the mistake of being honest well as honest as she was willing to
01:38:32.260
be you know she was the clear front runner she was getting challenged hey show your work on your
01:38:36.300
medicare for all plan and like the true wellesley college for women dean of faculty she's always wanted
01:38:41.460
to be she thought you bet i'll put this all in a white paper and convince you that my one size fits
01:38:46.860
all plan that you hated about obamacare supersizing it you'll like it even more and and even though
01:38:52.540
it's what a lot of democrats believe it was a politically amateurish move and i think it made a lot
01:38:57.740
of people that thought hey maybe she could beat trump think if she's going to fall for the banana
01:39:01.920
in the tailpipe at the first if she's going to answer the first booty political booty call here
01:39:07.080
then she can't lie well enough to do this gig she's just she's just too much of a true believer and i
01:39:13.080
think that has that crushed her numbers because she had really eaten into a lot of sanders numbers
01:39:17.720
she was kind of his softer side of sears and when she showed that she could not match up uh politically
01:39:23.680
with with what they thought was going to be necessary to win she's imploded bernie has risen
01:39:28.860
and then you've and now you've got budigich and biden fighting to be this more mainline candidate
01:39:35.040
you've got this amy klobuchar who uh from minnesota it's a neighboring state who's not going to win here
01:39:40.740
but if you get into that room and elizabeth warren or and or bernie sanders's support is eaten up by the
01:39:45.800
other she could maybe surprise and finish in the top three she would only be taking votes away from pete
01:39:50.960
budigich and joe biden so that's why i think this thing is very very fluid and i would caution
01:39:55.660
anybody to make any dramatic pronouncements here until we get another week with that being said
01:40:01.760
dramatic pronouncements i would like if it were held today not not in a couple of weeks but today
01:40:08.260
what would you say the landscape is if it were held today it's going to be 50 degrees in iowa today
01:40:15.400
and it's beautiful weather if it would have be held today we'd break a turnout record that'd be the
01:40:19.920
highest voted in iowa caucuses of all time by either party and then i think it would really
01:40:24.740
just come down to when we get in the room can bernie sanders and or elizabeth warren's supporters
01:40:32.120
you know whether it's the soviet id versus the feminist id what wins out there and that's you know
01:40:38.000
that's that's a little bit like you know uh me asking me to forecast an apocalyptic event i hopefully
01:40:43.140
don't want to be around here for so i don't know the answer to that but it would come down to if one of
01:40:47.980
those two in the rooms across iowa can can absorb the other support if they can one of those two
01:40:54.620
would win if not then i think pete budigich would win but i don't think it would be an impressive win
01:40:59.460
for anybody right now i think it's still very fluid steve thank you so much uh make sure you follow

01:42:54.040
so i was um in in thinking about things sometimes i can get away and and think about things that are
01:43:11.660
right not right at the front of my face but uh a little far off in the distance and i was talking
01:43:18.960
to uh stew today about how i think you have to start being really careful about buying cars now
01:43:25.460
because i don't think you're good advice right after i got a new one so i appreciate that thank
01:43:30.660
you you're always timely with this stuff thank you thank you thank you i think i said not to buy a
01:43:36.860
house right after you bought the house yeah right after that yeah you said definitely don't whatever
01:43:40.720
you do don't don't do that don't do that um okay so here's uh here's here's a thought we were talking
01:43:48.320
about cars earlier cars are going to get harder for resale because if you look at the 19s compared
01:43:56.040
to the 20s a lot of these cars that you you used to buy uh at least i used to you'd buy the 19 in 20
01:44:05.700
because it was new they were motivated to sell it blah blah blah and the body style really didn't
01:44:12.340
change that much well it's not the body styles that are changing it's the electronics that are
01:44:17.620
changing it's the software that's changing and really only tesla is ups is uh upgrading you know
01:44:24.720
every time there's new software they just send it to the car and so technology is going to is tracking
01:44:31.700
out i think we're also in a period of time with houses that housing has changed if you go to
01:44:38.160
california and you look at houses houses out west especially um they no longer have the formal dining
01:44:45.000
room and the formal living room which none of us have used in for how many years i mean thanksgiving
01:44:51.500
yeah the time you own that's it that's it um the rest of it is just wasted space houses are changing
01:44:58.220
and i think they're changing in the same way that victorian homes changed you know there was an
01:45:03.640
era when everybody wanted that victorian home and then that era was over and like nobody for a long
01:45:10.300
time wanted a victorian home and i think that's where our homes are because technology is changing
01:45:18.160
and the use of space is changing and i have to tell you stew i think i'm at the beginning of the road
01:45:24.360
coming to where you have always been and that is lease lease your car lease your lease your house
01:45:33.040
i'm a big renting fan yeah and i'm not yeah i love it but of course now i'm not renting so now you're
01:45:40.380
telling me it's a good time to rent no i'm not what's happening right now no i say we're at the
01:45:44.040
beginning of this i think in 10 years time that's going to be the wave of the future because
01:45:49.360
why own something it's like a phone you know that people are leasing iphones now you have it for a
01:45:56.620
year and you trade it in for the next program yeah right uh everything's changing so fast now
01:46:02.500
that you kind of wonder what what is going to be permanent in 10 years what does the permanency
01:46:11.580
even look like yeah there's that idea where you pay a lot for quality now and it'll last forever and
01:46:16.360
that seems less and less like it's real yeah this is the glenbeck program american financing
01:46:24.360

01:48:45.300
i mean look how bad it is i mean that's he would have appreciated
01:48:48.500
yeah yes yes he would have uh he would have and uh all he wrote was glenn beck
01:48:53.740
uh glenn beck is my leader to which i responded you still looking this sexy
01:49:12.780
in his in his humor that uh he appreciated it coming back to him
01:49:17.340
oh he liked it he respected people who who knew you know it's like ricky
01:49:23.100
gervais i think ricky gervais is today's don imus um you know they're jokes
01:49:30.700
they're jokes they're not there's nothing more behind them they're jokes
01:49:39.500
as a joke and if he meant it he wouldn't have said it as a joke
01:49:44.140
he would have said it and said no i really mean that
01:49:47.980
this don had a problem with anyone who was a fraud
01:49:53.180
don had a problem with anyone who uh really didn't know what they believed in
01:49:59.660
and and were cowardly uh and and and that meant really even
01:50:07.100
coming after him i remember the first time i was on his show his tv show i was
01:50:11.180
scared out of my mind because you are you're dealing with i think the brightest mind on
01:50:18.860
radio he was by far the smartest most well-read
01:50:24.620
genius on on radio legend legend absolute legend he is talk radio wouldn't exist if it
01:50:32.780
wasn't for don imus sports talk radio definitely wouldn't exist right uh sports talk radio wouldn't
01:50:38.220
exist uh howard stern probably wouldn't exist no he believes that trail for sure i mean don imus
01:50:44.220
is in a category of the hall of fame that only really is the rarefied air of of
01:50:54.620
uh bob hope and uh uh jack benny i mean he is he is the pioneer of radio as it's done today
01:51:05.980
um and no matter what anybody says he was not a racist he was not a racist uh he and i'm not an
01:51:18.380
apologist for tom or for don if they were or tom or tom for that matter you know uh bill if if if
01:51:26.380
he had racist tendencies uh i would say something the other thing is he wasn't right wing either
01:51:34.380
i was reading a column about him shortly it was pretty glowing other than this uh and at some
01:51:40.460
section of the article the person wrote was he a right wing kook yes but and then wasn't not anything
01:51:48.140
like why would you put why would you put don imus why would the press put don imus on to the the
01:51:57.100
white house press dinner yeah during the during the monica lewinski trial or shortly thereafter
01:52:07.580
knowing what he was going to say it was a terrible idea from the start because they thought he was
01:52:14.220
a friend a game player he was a game player john don was not a game player uh at any stretch when
01:52:22.700
he looked at bill clinton and made his jokes about you know he'll he'll sleep with any fat chick
01:52:31.420
to his face it was phenomenal uh and he kept going he just kept going crossing swords with him
01:52:42.860
was one of the greatest experiences of my life knowing don imus and being able to um
01:52:54.460
foster a relationship with him i went back and i listened to some of the old things that we had
01:52:59.980
done together and i looked at some of the things that we wrote to each other one of my one of the last
01:53:04.700
pictures he showed he sent to me uh he sent a picture of him in the hospital and he just looked like
01:53:11.580
dog crap and uh and all it said was at least i'm not fat like you
01:53:17.660
i mean he's brilliant it's brilliant it's just brilliant just brilliant and he
01:53:30.220
i said something to him like in my i went on the air with him and i did not know i knew he was
01:53:37.340
he was saying this guy's crazy this guy's absolutely out of his mind crazy um and so when i
01:53:44.380
went to his show i knew don respects i think don respects people who are smart and can cross swords
01:53:52.380
with him and hold their own and i could be just as sarcastic and dark as don could be any day and
01:54:00.380
uh so i decided to really go after him i don't remember what it was but i remember we went into
01:54:05.100
the break and they held me and they went into a break and he looked at me and this is how much of
01:54:10.220
a racist he was he looked at me and he smiled and i said how was that and he said that was good
01:54:17.820
and then he looked down and he said i know you're interested in native american history and i said uh
01:54:27.260
yes and he said there's a book that you'll really appreciate and he told me about a book i can't
01:54:33.900
remember what it was now i have it in my library and he said any thoughts of we were the good guys
01:54:41.180
there it'll be it'll all be dispelled when you read this and i said oh okay i'll read it and i did
01:54:50.780
it showed to me how deep of a thinker he was how much he knew who his guests were uh and how not racist
01:54:59.900
he was and then we got back on the air and hammered each other some more and in my first or second
01:55:07.580
email i think it was maybe my first i made the joke about how deidre his wife wanted him to die
01:55:14.220
before he burned through all of the cash and uh and i felt i sent it and it was one of it wasn't that
01:55:21.820
nice it was really i do remember this it was much meaner than what you just described yeah it was really
01:55:27.660
mean and uh i felt so bad after i sent it and i thought what if i didn't put a smiley face he'd
01:55:34.300
kill you if you put a smiley face right and i can't put a smiley face what have he so i wrote to him
01:55:40.060
before he wrote back and i said hey don just i just want you to know i was joking in the last he wrote
01:55:45.180
back and he said you and i will not be friends if you ever write something like that to me again
01:55:49.340
if you don't think i can take a joke and know what a joke is from you we're not going to be friends
01:55:55.500
yeah that's the only thing that you ever did that pissed him off yeah yeah because he knew
01:56:01.020
what a joke was right and ricky gervais knows what do you know how many times he said at the
01:56:07.260
beginning of his golden globes it's just a joke he said it all up at the very beginning yeah and took
01:56:13.740
himself down first right before he took anybody else down right and he's like i don't care i just don't
01:56:19.180
care and that was don imus now let me tell you something the the rest of the story you've probably
01:56:26.140
heard me tell the story before uh that i was sitting in roger ales office and roger said to me
01:56:32.700
and i don't know if i revealed that it was roger ales that said this on the air
01:56:36.220
um but uh roger ales said to me you know what your problem is you won't play the game
01:56:40.780
and i said no no i no i won't and uh he said that's the problem look do you not think i knew
01:56:55.180
what al sharpton wanted now what what he was talking about was don imus
01:57:02.460
he said do you not think that that al sharpton called me before he sent a busload of people over
01:57:10.940
here to pick it against don imus did he did you not think that we had already negotiated what was
01:57:17.900
how this was going to end he just needed a pound of flesh he wanted don's pound of flesh so i gave
01:57:24.540
it to him and someday i'll get a pound of flesh from him that's the way it works i knew that nbc knew
01:57:31.580
that we all know that but don wasn't a game player either and don refused to play the game
01:57:52.140
that's what people should be talking about not the lie that he was a racist he wasn't
01:57:57.340
that was something that was perpetrated on him to destroy him because he wouldn't play the game as
01:58:07.660
soon as everything became about politics and have to be about choosing sides don didn't choose sides
01:58:16.140
john don first of all always chose funny don't cut funny
01:58:23.820
there isn't anyone in within the sound of my voice
01:58:48.700
even ricky gervais said last night uh going into the golden globes he said yeah well i've turned
01:58:55.900
everything over to the attorneys because i don't want to be sued for anything
01:59:01.660
so he had to run everything through the nbc attorneys so nobody in the room would sue him
01:59:22.540
i knew it would be a hard day and i'm glad i wasn't on the air for a couple of days after i heard
01:59:28.140
about dawn because i wouldn't have been able to keep my composure
02:00:03.740
lost one of the greatest minds to ever be on public airwaves
02:00:30.220
i couldn't really even speak to my own family for a while
02:01:02.460
who no matter how he voted or what he believed was the best politician
02:01:32.060
and what's doris kearns goodwin gonna do now i mean where is she gonna be
02:01:38.780
it sucks that he's dead but at least he's not fat like you
02:01:46.140
he would have hated everything i just said oh gosh he would have hated everything i just said
02:01:51.180
he would have loved it if i i roasted him uh and uh
02:01:58.940
maybe someday done no don't give him what he wants
02:02:01.820
don't give him what he wants he's not gonna win
02:02:25.980
for this reason and hopefully it's all over now
02:02:29.900
but i can't imagine being married to a man like that in multiple ways
02:02:52.300
and a lifetime of laughs and a life i mean he had his problems and he admitted all of those
02:02:57.980
but uh to be remembered the way the press tried to paint him uh had to be hard and i would just ask you
02:03:06.460
would keep uh his family and in their prayers even though her diet in the end is what killed him but at
02:03:16.140
somewhere somewhere in the u.s and that way didn't it had to uh somewhere in the u.s every 23 seconds
02:03:22.540
someone breaks into a house and commits burglary
02:03:25.500
just happened a few seconds ago and it's going to happen again in a few seconds and only one in five houses has security
02:03:31.660
and and that's because these security companies make it impossible they're irritating sales people
02:03:37.100
the complicated installation bad contracts giant monthly fees but that's not the case with simply
02:03:44.300
safe there is no contract there are no hidden fees prices start at 15 a month for the monitoring
02:03:52.460
now right now is your last chance to get 25 off an arsenal of sensors and cameras covering every inch
02:03:58.780
of your home it used to be expensive and then it got cheap but the the uh burglar alarm companies
02:04:06.780
just kept that expensive price up and expected you to believe that this is what it really cost
02:04:12.140
no it really doesn't cost that much now get 25 off everything that you need to protect your home there's no
