The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ 3⧸15⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's Pat Gray and Jeff Fisher for Glenn Today.

00:00:03.520 Coming up on the podcast, we discussed, of course, the shooting in New Zealand,

00:00:08.180 the horrific killing of 49 Muslims in two different mosques,

00:00:14.380 and just the psychosis of the person involved here is unbelievable,

00:00:20.600 absolutely amazing, and so tragic.

00:00:24.720 We also talked about, we've got an update for you on Aunt Becky.

00:00:27.980 Becky, she's out, she's free, she's walking the streets.

00:00:31.160 Be careful, please.

00:00:32.940 Please, Aunt Becky, made bail in the Varsity Blues scandal,

00:00:37.860 and she's out there somewhere, so I just thought I don't want you to have to run into her,

00:00:41.480 and her crime spree. 0.92

00:00:42.480 She could be here or British Columbia.

00:00:44.700 Fortunately, though, she's been fired from the Hallmark job. 0.62

00:00:48.140 We'll get into that.

00:00:50.800 Is it fortunate?

00:00:52.000 Fortunately, yeah, because you don't want to have to look at her anymore.

00:00:54.980 Another fortunate thing is we talked a little bit about the exciting,

00:00:58.980 exciting presidential run that Beto O'Rourke is bringing to the table.

00:01:02.880 Can't wait.

00:01:04.320 Man, he's so fantastic.

00:01:07.920 Also, speaking of Beto and his climate change stuff,

00:01:12.060 kids agree with him that climate change is catastrophic,

00:01:14.760 and so they're walking out of school today.

00:01:16.500 A big strike from the children of America, 0.99

00:01:19.580 and a big mob boss was just recently killed in New York City.

00:01:25.680 In his driveway.

00:01:26.280 And Jeffy has the details on that.

00:01:28.600 All coming up today in the podcast.

00:01:37.060 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:41.080 I love Patriot Mobile.

00:01:47.220 Here's the thing.

00:01:48.280 Cell service, almost all of it is exactly the same

00:01:51.320 because everybody's using the same cell towers, okay?

00:01:53.520 And what these companies do is they get their own customers,

00:01:56.820 and they charge all kinds of really high prices.

00:01:59.540 Then they sell time on that tower to other companies,

00:02:02.540 and they charge really, really the low basic rate.

00:02:05.820 Now, you're denying those companies that own those cell towers the money,

00:02:11.680 all that big fat profit, to be able to go and donate to things like Planned Parenthood.

00:02:17.700 So if you switch to another one that has the same coverage

00:02:22.160 but is not giving that big fat profit, you hurt that big company,

00:02:28.340 you also help the little company, and you help your own causes

00:02:32.680 because that little company is not giving all the money to Planned Parenthood.

00:02:37.340 That's Patriot Mobile.

00:02:39.280 They share your values.

00:02:41.560 They know what your hard-earned money is worth,

00:02:46.760 and they'll give you the exact same coverage.

00:02:49.240 It's PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze.

00:02:53.560 PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze.

00:02:56.760 Go sign up now.

00:02:58.000 They make the transition really, really simple.

00:03:00.660 Switch to Patriot Mobile now.

00:03:02.380 With Pat Gray of Pat Gray Unleashed, which immediately precedes this show.

00:03:06.940 Also here this morning, Jeffy from Chewing the Fat, that podcast,

00:03:12.160 which is available wherever podcasts are sold for free, as is mine.

00:03:17.300 Correct.

00:03:18.040 Yes.

00:03:18.860 And again, now, Chewing the Fat, does that have anything to do with physique of the host?

00:03:24.640 That's just the title of the show.

00:03:26.160 Yeah, you're chewing the fat.

00:03:27.100 It's like a conversation with me.

00:03:28.400 Let's just go somewhere and chew the fat.

00:03:30.000 Right.

00:03:30.360 Yeah, yeah.

00:03:31.200 All right.

00:03:32.000 I just wanted to clear that up.

00:03:33.500 I'm reminded the logo has my face on a side of beef.

00:03:39.760 Again, that's just coincidence, right?

00:03:41.640 Yeah, just coincidence.

00:03:41.820 There was nowhere else to put your logo, and they just had a side of beef handy.

00:03:46.600 So they superimposed it there, which is interesting.

00:03:50.240 All right, 888-727-BECK.

00:03:54.500 Glenn is, I think he's having a weekend with Tony Robbins or something?

00:03:59.220 This is not going to end well.

00:04:00.560 I wouldn't think so.

00:04:01.700 This is not going to end well.

00:04:02.900 Last week, I spent the weekend with Stephen Covey.

00:04:07.720 He visited me from beyond the grave.

00:04:10.380 Really?

00:04:10.820 Yeah.

00:04:11.280 Yeah, we spent the weekend together.

00:04:13.140 So it's interesting now that Glenn's doing the same thing with Tony Robbins.

00:04:17.340 Huh.

00:04:18.940 Fascinating.

00:04:20.780 A really horrific shooting in New Zealand.

00:04:24.860 At least 49 people were killed in mass shootings at two mosques full of worshipers,

00:04:30.320 attending Friday prayers on what the prime minister called one of New Zealand's darkest days.

00:04:36.420 One man was arrested and charged with murder in what appeared to be a carefully planned racist attack. 0.52

00:04:43.340 He apparently freely and openly admits he's a racist and hates immigrants.

00:04:53.000 And he said this was revenge for their invasion. 0.94

00:04:59.420 888-727-BECK.

00:05:02.540 The phone number to call.

00:05:03.520 Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the events in Christchurch, New Zealand,

00:05:08.900 represented an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence.

00:05:14.240 And many of the victims apparently might be migrants or refugees.

00:05:20.880 She said it's clear that this can now only be described as a terrorist attack.

00:05:26.660 In addition to those who died, health officials said 48 people were being treated for gunshot wounds.

00:05:34.040 So 48 injured.

00:05:35.480 Last I heard, it was 20.

00:05:38.140 Injuries ranged from minor to critical.

00:05:42.420 The guy talked about doing this.

00:05:44.180 He bragged that he was going to do it.

00:05:46.560 And then he live streamed it.

00:05:48.780 Apparently he rigged up a camera on his, on a helmet and filmed the whole thing.

00:05:57.520 It's really, really horrific.

00:05:59.500 And don't forget about his great 87-page manifesto.

00:06:02.760 Was it 87 pages?

00:06:04.520 Oh, geez. 1.00

00:06:05.440 He's just nuts. 1.00

00:06:07.160 Yeah. 1.00

00:06:07.380 He's just crazy. 0.98

00:06:08.860 CNN is hard at work, even as we speak, trying to blame Donald Trump for the shooting. 0.94

00:06:14.720 In a place where this doesn't happen, right?

00:06:18.400 America is the only place, we're told, by the left.

00:06:21.400 All the time.

00:06:22.320 This is the only place this ever happens.

00:06:25.320 And then when it doesn't happen here, it's still the fault of the president.

00:06:30.280 Because they can't blame the gun.

00:06:32.020 Not in New Zealand, where guns are virtually banned.

00:06:36.420 Not in Australia. 0.95

00:06:37.780 He's from Australia, this murderer. 1.00

00:06:40.760 Where guns were banned. 0.90

00:06:42.720 And confiscated.

00:06:43.920 So you can't blame the gun.

00:06:46.140 Because they've already done everything they could possibly do to rid their society of guns.

00:06:52.180 So they've taken to blaming the president.

00:06:56.140 Because everything's his fault.

00:06:59.160 No matter what.

00:07:00.400 Right.

00:07:00.960 No matter where it happens.

00:07:02.340 And no matter what it is that happens.

00:07:03.820 Read between the lines.

00:07:04.800 It's a dog whistle.

00:07:07.060 It's all his fault.

00:07:08.520 And by the way, again.

00:07:09.700 I love.

00:07:10.100 Dog whistles are whistles that only dogs can hear.

00:07:14.500 That's why they call them dog whistles.

00:07:15.900 Because they're at a frequency so high, humans can't hear it.

00:07:18.920 So.

00:07:19.340 If you're using dog whistles, no human is hearing you.

00:07:23.620 If it's a dog whistle code, that's fine. 1.00

00:07:29.200 Because nobody heard it.

00:07:30.680 It's kind of what we want.

00:07:31.620 Except dogs.

00:07:32.580 And they're not going to do anything about it.

00:07:34.180 You hope.

00:07:35.220 You hope.

00:07:36.040 Yeah.

00:07:37.000 I feel pretty confident.

00:07:38.240 Yeah.

00:07:38.660 That the dogs aren't going to do anything about it.

00:07:40.600 I think so, too.

00:07:40.880 So.

00:07:41.400 When the dogs hear the dog whistle racism, so what? 0.70

00:07:44.260 If your dog is racist, oh, well.

00:07:49.900 What are you going to do about it?

00:07:52.240 You keep them on a leash is what you got to do.

00:07:53.940 Right.

00:07:54.380 That's right.

00:07:55.440 So, it's just a crazy world.

00:07:57.100 And it's amazing how every single time it's Donald Trump. 0.97

00:08:02.240 Every single time it's white people. 0.65

00:08:05.020 I mean, it's so bad with that right now. 0.96

00:08:07.000 We were actually blamed for white air pollution this week. 0.91

00:08:13.160 Like, whites are polluting, I guess, minority neighborhoods. 0.99

00:08:17.720 And then sneaking back really carefully to their beautiful suburban life.

00:08:22.440 Where it's clean, fresh air.

00:08:24.940 Country air that you breathe.

00:08:27.000 And so, you're not breathing the stuff you went and polluted in another neighborhood where the minorities live. 1.00

00:08:33.120 I mean, I don't even know how that works.

00:08:35.400 How does that work?

00:08:38.220 I'm not quite sure I understand it myself. 0.97

00:08:40.900 It's always white's fault. 1.00

00:08:42.160 You know, the white privilege thing. 0.87

00:08:44.360 So, if you've accomplished something, so what?

00:08:47.640 You had white privilege.

00:08:49.200 And you were given all that stuff.

00:08:51.800 No matter whether you worked for it or not, it was given to you.

00:08:55.960 And there's white income inequality.

00:08:58.640 And there's white pollution. 1.00

00:09:00.940 And white people are just bad. 1.00

00:09:03.100 So, deal with that. 1.00

00:09:04.740 Okay.

00:09:05.840 Deal with it.

00:09:06.620 It's just a crazy, crazy, crazy time.

00:09:11.300 Deadliest attack occurred at the Al-Nur Mosque in Central Christ Church at 1.45 in the afternoon.

00:09:19.320 1.45.

00:09:20.280 So, in broad daylight, this guy went out and conducted this killing spree.

00:09:26.240 So, 41 people were apparently killed there.

00:09:29.520 And then he drove across town and killed people at another mosque.

00:09:35.140 And he was taken into custody.

00:09:39.180 So, the guy is still alive.

00:09:41.000 Unlike most of these psychos, he didn't kill himself at the end.

00:09:47.980 And police didn't kill him either.

00:09:50.040 So, he's in custody now.

00:09:52.300 No doubt we're going to have to hear a bunch of his rantings and ravings.

00:09:57.000 I hope not. 0.59

00:09:57.540 And his lunacy.

00:09:58.720 I mean, I'm sure you're right, but I sure hope.

00:10:00.660 But, he also went after, they're trying to present this as, okay, this guy is a right-wing guy.

00:10:11.940 But, he attacked conservatives in his manifesto.

00:10:15.400 Said, your time is gone.

00:10:17.600 Conservatism is dead.

00:10:19.220 So, he's got no love for conservatives.

00:10:22.000 And he also said he considers himself an environmentalist eco-fascist.

00:10:29.860 Huh.

00:10:31.260 Fascist is the word?

00:10:32.500 Yeah. 0.90

00:10:32.980 And fascist, by the way.

00:10:34.100 Fascism is not a product of the right either.

00:10:37.520 Fascism is on the left.

00:10:39.900 Fascism comes from big government, which people on the right don't want.

00:10:44.440 So, if he's a fascist and an environmentalist, that's not a product of the right either.

00:10:49.900 But, that's how it will be spun.

00:10:54.280 Is that this guy is right-wing.

00:10:56.260 He got all of his ideas from Donald Trump. 0.93

00:10:58.760 And then he went and killed people in New Zealand.

00:11:00.780 Christchurch is the largest city on New Zealand's South Island.

00:11:06.660 And the city's been rebuilding since an earthquake in 2011 killed 185 people and destroyed many downtown buildings.

00:11:16.100 So, they've had their share of problems in New Zealand over this time period, too.

00:11:21.300 Really sad.

00:11:23.880 And our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of New Zealand, which will be mocked, of course, by the left, because thoughts and prayers do nothing.

00:11:31.500 And, apparently, neither do gun bans.

00:11:37.200 Right?

00:11:38.280 So, there's that.

00:11:39.420 We've said it all along.

00:11:40.940 You know, when you have the gun bans, it's the law-abiding citizens.

00:11:45.960 Who are without the guns.

00:11:47.480 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:49.600 And, see, the criminals and the psychos always find a way, don't they?

00:11:54.640 They always find a way.

00:11:56.360 In fact, in Great Britain, where they also banned guns and confiscated guns.

00:12:00.040 And, that happened in 96 or 97.

00:12:03.020 And, in the immediate aftermath of that, the gun violence actually went up 300%.

00:12:08.520 300% up.

00:12:11.420 And, then it leveled off for a while.

00:12:12.960 Then, it went back up.

00:12:13.800 Then, it went down.

00:12:14.440 Then, it went back up.

00:12:15.160 And, right now, in the last couple of years, it's been about the same as it was before the gun ban.

00:12:20.700 So, it did nothing.

00:12:22.000 It didn't help the situation.

00:12:24.140 In fact, what it did was encourage people to get knives and stab other people.

00:12:29.160 So, the bad people are still finding a way to do bad things in Great Britain.

00:12:34.640 And, it's gotten so bad with the knife attacks that one of the MPs in England, one of the members of Parliament,

00:12:40.840 is now proposing that they put GPS trackers into knife handles.

00:12:47.400 Genius.

00:12:48.220 It's brilliant, right?

00:12:49.640 Genius.

00:12:49.740 First of all, there should also be a three-day waiting period if you want to buy silverware at a store.

00:12:57.420 Yeah, I'd like a butter knife.

00:12:59.040 Okay?

00:12:59.400 Just sign here.

00:13:00.360 And, we'll do the background check.

00:13:02.320 You come back in three days.

00:13:03.300 We'll see if you can get that butter knife.

00:13:05.000 We'll send it to the back for you.

00:13:06.140 We'll be waiting for you.

00:13:07.960 I mean, look.

00:13:08.700 If you are just using knives to butter your bread or your baked potato, you've got nothing to worry about.

00:13:14.320 You've got nothing to worry about.

00:13:15.520 Yeah, you're fine.

00:13:16.220 Right.

00:13:16.780 So, if the tracker's in the handle of the butter knife, so what?

00:13:19.200 You're not doing anything wrong.

00:13:20.080 You're not doing anything wrong.

00:13:23.800 I wish, you know, I told this story before.

00:13:26.740 When my daughter, my youngest daughter, she's 18 now, but when she was three,

00:13:31.660 she actually took a butter knife and buttered our dog. 1.00

00:13:35.680 Was she planning on baking it?

00:13:37.280 I'm not sure.

00:13:38.120 We fortunately got to the dog and the butter before that happened.

00:13:42.680 And it could have been sooner, though.

00:13:44.160 It could have been sooner if we had a tracking device in the butter knife.

00:13:46.660 Right.

00:13:47.520 It could have prevented a lot of hassle and a really nasty dog bath.

00:13:59.820 And then when we took the butter away from her, she found another way to cause trouble by yogurting the dog in a full. 1.00

00:14:08.740 So, she had an entire container of yogurt that she dumped on the dog.

00:14:14.040 She didn't use a knife on that, though. 0.76

00:14:15.440 No.

00:14:15.820 She used her hands that time.

00:14:16.980 Yeah, smart.

00:14:17.620 See?

00:14:17.960 That's what's going to happen.

00:14:19.160 What do you mean?

00:14:19.480 You put a tracking device in her hands and then maybe, you know.

00:14:22.340 People are going to realize they can't use a knife.

00:14:24.000 They're going to have to use something else.

00:14:25.820 It's crazy.

00:14:26.860 I mean, the whole thing is just, it's nuts.

00:14:29.920 There's no way to prevent every bad thing from happening in life.

00:14:34.440 You just can't do it.

00:14:36.060 We can't safety-proof the entire planet.

00:14:40.240 It's not possible.

00:14:41.300 We could do our best.

00:14:42.260 We're trying.

00:14:43.220 Yeah.

00:14:43.500 You do what you can and then, you know, things are just going to happen.

00:14:50.440 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:14:52.540 Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:10.120 All right, let's talk to John in Utah.

00:15:12.740 John, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:14.140 Hi.

00:15:15.500 Hey, Pat.

00:15:16.160 Hey.

00:15:16.520 How's it going?

00:15:17.260 Good.

00:15:17.480 Doing well.

00:15:18.600 You're really concerned or are you just making small talk?

00:15:21.380 Absolutely not.

00:15:22.140 I couldn't do it.

00:15:22.820 Yeah, okay.

00:15:23.640 That's what I was feeling, some of that.

00:15:25.260 Yeah.

00:15:25.560 All right, go ahead.

00:15:27.460 So, the 2019 legislative session just wrapped up in Utah, and apparently in the budget, they

00:15:35.400 set aside $1.5 million for a shrine for Orrin Hatch.

00:15:41.680 What?

00:15:42.640 Nice.

00:15:43.920 What?

00:15:45.320 A shrine to Orrin Hatch, $1.5 million.

00:15:50.120 Yeah, and the thing is-

00:15:51.980 Are you kidding me?

00:15:52.660 Is that Orrin lobbied for this.

00:15:55.520 He wanted $2 million for it.

00:15:59.340 Seriously?

00:16:00.740 Yeah.

00:16:01.300 That's embarrassing.

00:16:03.480 That's embarrassing.

00:16:03.940 He should be ashamed of himself.

00:16:06.320 I'm a little annoyed.

00:16:07.000 Orrin Hatch lobbied the Utah legislature to provide $2 million for a statue or a shrine to him.

00:16:15.180 Well, yeah.

00:16:15.660 Well, part of it is that they're going to do a replica of his office in the Senate.

00:16:19.960 That is crazy.

00:16:21.960 That is crazy.

00:16:23.180 Good.

00:16:23.880 So-

00:16:24.380 Look, it's $1.5 million.

00:16:26.700 $1.5.

00:16:27.620 Right.

00:16:28.080 Out of the whole budget of Utah, I'm sure that's just a drop in the bucket.

00:16:32.560 So, hey, go ahead and do it.

00:16:34.600 Is anybody but you hacked off about this in Utah, John?

00:16:38.660 Um, so, I'm hearing a lot of people that are annoyed.

00:16:44.060 Especially-

00:16:44.420 Annoyed isn't hacked off, though.

00:16:46.960 I mean, that's-

00:16:48.480 Okay, fine, hacked off.

00:16:48.760 That is crazy.

00:16:49.460 I know.

00:16:49.680 Annoyed isn't hacked off, though, because people get annoyed and then up goes the shrine.

00:16:53.160 Yeah, right.

00:16:53.860 They get annoyed and then they just provide a million and a half dollars for a shrine.

00:16:57.860 If people get hacked off, maybe it doesn't go up.

00:17:00.080 Thanks, John.

00:17:00.620 I mean, do people not remember who Orrin Hatch is, what he did while he was in office?

00:17:07.760 Yeah, a 40-year senator is what he is, okay, my friend.

00:17:10.960 And a good one, too.

00:17:12.340 Okay.

00:17:12.980 That sided with Ted Kennedy on every issue.

00:17:16.580 I remember a while ago, this was maybe last year, when Ted Kennedy's son was talking about

00:17:25.500 Kennedy and Hatch's relationship.

00:17:28.500 Yeah, because you're working with them.

00:17:29.600 Because that's how he did it.

00:17:30.440 He forged these personal bonds.

00:17:31.800 Him and Orrin Hatch.

00:17:33.000 You know, Orrin Hatch, I think, got elected probably bashing your dad.

00:17:36.380 He says it.

00:17:37.080 He came to Washington to counteract my dad's vote.

00:17:41.060 Orrin Hatch did.

00:17:42.020 Right.

00:17:42.500 And then what happened?

00:17:43.460 Ended up cutting every deal in the world because he knew it was going to pass if Ted Kennedy

00:17:48.060 signed off on it and he was sponsor of it, then boom, everyone else would say,

00:17:52.080 oh, well, geez, if Orrin and Ted are for it, then bang.

00:17:54.680 Right.

00:17:55.060 What a revolutionary concept.

00:17:56.680 Hello, Utah.

00:17:57.440 Did you maybe not hear that little, maybe not follow his exploits during those 40 years

00:18:03.680 in office?

00:18:05.320 Orrin Hatch was terrible. 0.59

00:18:06.600 He was a terrible senator.

00:18:09.480 I wouldn't give one penny to a shrine to Orrin Hatch.

00:18:13.240 Now, this article from Salt Lake Tribune said we could spend the money in more responsible

00:18:18.880 ways.

00:18:19.580 Oh, you think?

00:18:20.000 What?

00:18:20.480 You think?

00:18:21.240 What?

00:18:21.600 No.

00:18:21.740 Is this some sort of quack writing this article?

00:18:27.000 Look at the byline.

00:18:28.080 Who's responsible for that?

00:18:30.160 For that article?

00:18:31.260 That is just unconscionable.

00:18:32.880 Oh, this is Michelle Quist.

00:18:35.500 She believes the Hatch Shrine is one more sign of Utah's GOP's bro club.

00:18:40.160 Yes.

00:18:40.660 Yes, it is.

00:18:41.540 You're 100% correct, Michelle.

00:18:43.460 You're exactly right.

00:18:44.640 Yeah, no kidding.

00:18:45.580 I don't agree with the Salt Lake Tribune on much, but we're together on that.

00:18:50.820 Yeah, no kidding.

00:18:52.440 That's despicable.

00:18:54.280 Mike in Florida.

00:18:55.860 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:18:57.840 Hi.

00:18:58.280 Hey, Pat.

00:18:58.720 How are you doing today?

00:18:59.320 Doing good.

00:18:59.860 Just wanted to talk about why people get pushed into doing some of these things with

00:19:04.580 the varsity blues.

00:19:05.860 For instance, my child was a valedictorian, 5.0, had over 150, 200 community service hours,

00:19:13.040 but couldn't get into a Florida school because we had Florida prepaid and our tuitions like

00:19:18.900 10% of what the out-of-state people pay.

00:19:22.400 So here we're stuck having to send our child somewhere else because of money issues with

00:19:26.080 the school, and I don't think that's fair, and I think that's part of the thing that

00:19:29.800 pushes these people.

00:19:31.580 Wow.

00:19:32.280 So with a 5.0, which out of a 4.0 possibility.

00:19:38.720 They have the thing now.

00:19:39.740 Yeah, I know.

00:19:40.380 It's a new thing, I guess.

00:19:41.120 I know, and that's amazing.

00:19:42.500 $1,100 on the SATs.

00:19:43.540 Did you say?

00:19:44.200 $1,100 on the SATs.

00:19:45.380 Wow.

00:19:45.880 How much did you pay for that?

00:19:48.040 That's what I'm wondering.

00:19:48.900 It's about what you have to do.

00:19:50.400 No, I mean, that's the kids that are not getting in that deserve it, and it's all because money.

00:19:55.640 I'm not aware of the issue with the schools, though, on that because I had Florida prepaid,

00:20:00.660 too, at one time, and I didn't know that there was ever a problem with that.

00:20:07.280 I mean, my son ended up going to a school outside of Florida, so it never mattered.

00:20:12.160 It's the tuition.

00:20:13.320 They get four times the tuition.

00:20:14.700 Out-of-state people pay $25,000, where we only pay $3,000 a semester.

00:20:17.880 Right.

00:20:18.840 So they try to get more people from out-of-state at the Florida schools, is that what you're

00:20:22.400 saying, so they get higher tuition?

00:20:24.060 Exactly.

00:20:24.660 And it's not only in Florida schools.

00:20:26.120 It's in other states, too.

00:20:27.060 It's in Illinois.

00:20:27.900 It's in New York.

00:20:29.140 And it's all about money-driven.

00:20:30.800 But now they can sit there on their high horse, and somebody tried to help get their child in.

00:20:34.900 You know, they're the ones who'd be a little bit investigated, too.

00:20:37.400 And I don't mean to sound like a-

00:20:38.840 No, I understand that.

00:20:39.840 Thank you.

00:20:40.620 I know.

00:20:40.820 You got a legitimate beef.

00:20:41.980 I understand why people pay money.

00:20:42.780 Yeah.

00:20:43.960 I know that.

00:20:44.760 They want the best for their kids.

00:20:46.520 I understand that.

00:20:47.200 And that's why it's so strange that they're taking such a hard line with them.

00:20:51.240 But, you know, I got it.

00:20:52.260 It's a crime, and nobody wants to do that.

00:20:53.420 Look at it this way, though, Mike.

00:20:55.180 At least you're not building a shrine to Orrin Hatch.

00:20:58.900 I didn't have 1.5 sitting around in the backyard.

00:21:01.720 Yeah.

00:21:02.140 Yeah.

00:21:02.300 I appreciate it anyway, because he's such a great, great guy.

00:21:04.680 Thank you.

00:21:05.160 Oh, he's fantastic.

00:21:06.560 Thank you, guys.

00:21:07.220 He's a legend.

00:21:08.040 Thank you, Mike.

00:21:08.500 I appreciate it.

00:21:11.740 888-727-BECK.

00:21:13.760 I mean, Orrin gave years.

00:21:16.720 Years of service.

00:21:17.640 To the state of Utah and to the country of the United States.

00:21:20.360 Yes, he did.

00:21:20.940 He sure did.

00:21:22.560 And dedicated service to all kinds of not-so-conservative causes.

00:21:29.400 And in some cases, very liberal causes.

00:21:31.080 But when he went into office.

00:21:32.860 Yeah, he went into office campaigning virtually as the opposite of Ted Kennedy.

00:21:40.520 And then he got to office with Ted Kennedy, and they became the best of friends.

00:21:45.100 And then agreed on everything.

00:21:46.720 It's great.

00:21:47.280 I know we've kind of chatted about this before, but how many times does that happen the other way?

00:21:53.080 How many times does that happen the other way?

00:21:54.200 Let's see.

00:21:54.720 Oh, man.

00:21:55.120 Orrin Hatch would get voted in, and he would go into Washington and meet Ted Kennedy, and Ted would go,

00:21:59.420 you know what?

00:21:59.840 Hey, you know what?

00:22:00.360 I'm going to vote with Orrin on everything.

00:22:02.140 Orrin and I are together on this.

00:22:03.620 Let me see.

00:22:04.220 Carry the one.

00:22:04.740 Zero.

00:22:05.360 It happened no time.

00:22:06.440 Isn't that fascinating?

00:22:07.300 Yeah, it is.

00:22:08.400 Yeah, it never happens.

00:22:09.580 I don't know.

00:22:10.020 For some reason, it's always the conservatives who go the other way.

00:22:13.100 Because we just try to get along, right?

00:22:14.480 In the Senate, everywhere.

00:22:16.740 I just want to try to get along.

00:22:17.860 Yeah.

00:22:18.040 I want everybody to get along.

00:22:18.900 Well, the hip kids, I guess, are on the left for some reason.

00:22:22.420 And so you want to be one of the hip kids.

00:22:24.640 So you go along with their agenda.

00:22:27.720 And Hatch did it from just about the time he got into office all the way through.

00:22:31.860 And now you're going to build a shrine to the guy in Utah? 0.98

00:22:34.820 Ridiculous. 0.99

00:22:36.580 Wow. 0.98

00:22:36.940 But only a million dollars shrine.

00:22:38.580 Only a one and a half.

00:22:39.600 One and a half.

00:22:40.180 One and a half million.

00:22:41.420 One and a half shrine.

00:22:42.540 That's it, though.

00:22:43.000 If the Hatch family wants a shrine.

00:22:44.860 What do you buy, a good trailer?

00:22:45.300 You get a trailer for 1.5, don't you?

00:22:47.940 Yes.

00:22:49.440 But, you know, if the Hatch Foundation wants a shrine, build it yourself.

00:22:53.620 Let the foundation build it.

00:22:54.600 Yeah.

00:22:54.880 Let the foundation pay for the whole thing.

00:22:57.520 The people of Utah don't have to build that.

00:23:00.100 They don't have to pay for it.

00:23:01.260 That's unbelievable.

00:23:02.960 Don't give me a start.

00:23:03.720 It's too late.

00:23:04.420 I guess you already did give me a start.

00:23:07.860 It's just madness, though.

00:23:09.920 Isn't it?

00:23:10.400 Look, that's just greed, right?

00:23:11.780 It's just greedy.

00:23:12.580 It's just, look, we've got the money, or we could raise the money through our foundation.

00:23:16.300 But why?

00:23:16.900 But we don't want to.

00:23:17.520 When we could get the taxpayers.

00:23:19.000 Exactly.

00:23:21.280 And what do the taxpayers get out of that?

00:23:23.040 They get to go and...

00:23:24.040 And pay to go see it.

00:23:25.180 Yeah.

00:23:25.740 Right.

00:23:26.180 Oh, look, there's some papers he signed with Ted Kennedy.

00:23:29.640 At least when, you know, owners of sports teams convince a city or a state to chip in funds,

00:23:36.940 to build their stadiums for them, for these billionaires, the taxpayers, to build their

00:23:42.880 stadium, at least you get to go to the stadium and enjoy the team that, you know, you love.

00:23:48.520 You still have to pay for that, too, though.

00:23:49.920 Yeah, you do.

00:23:50.580 You do have to pay to get into the stadium.

00:23:52.060 You still have to pay for that.

00:23:52.700 I was always for that, but I'm kind of against it.

00:23:55.540 Me, too.

00:23:56.960 While I want new stadiums...

00:23:58.440 I know, me, too.

00:23:59.320 They shouldn't be built by tax dollars.

00:24:00.800 I know.

00:24:01.300 Agreed.

00:24:01.720 Agreed.

00:24:02.080 They should not.

00:24:03.360 I mean, how many poor people own sports franchises again?

00:24:06.600 It's your team.

00:24:07.000 Yeah, no.

00:24:07.340 It's your team.

00:24:08.140 No.

00:24:08.700 And by the way, if we don't have the stadium built, we're going to take it somewhere else

00:24:12.120 and go ahead.

00:24:13.720 Right.

00:24:14.160 Let's go to Mike in New Hampshire.

00:24:15.420 Hey, Mike.

00:24:16.320 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:18.460 Yeah.

00:24:19.160 Well, thank you very much, gentlemen.

00:24:22.540 Forgive me at the outset because I'm a man recounting two women's stories.

00:24:26.880 Oh, no.

00:24:27.220 So, yeah.

00:24:29.000 How dare you?

00:24:29.840 First, I encountered two women in my life, both loved them dearly, and at one point in

00:24:35.500 time, in a confidence, they told me that they had had abortions.

00:24:41.320 One had an abortion because it was a burden upon the family, family going through trouble,

00:24:48.380 you know, marital relationships.

00:24:50.160 Did they struggle with it?

00:24:52.340 Yeah, well, that's what I'm going to...

00:24:53.680 And the other was a date rape in college.

00:24:55.560 Oh, no.

00:24:56.580 Both, yeah.

00:24:57.780 The first one, it was nine years after her abortion, and every year she remembers the

00:25:05.020 day, and I held her as she cried all night long, wondering what her son would have been

00:25:12.340 and what his date, what she would have had.

00:25:15.660 Wow.

00:25:15.800 She has nightmares.

00:25:17.720 I wonder why she'd stay away from me on one particular day.

00:25:21.360 And one day, she didn't, and this is what happened.

00:25:25.780 She cried all night long in my arms about the son's face she'll never see.

00:25:30.140 The second woman who had a date rape was the very same thing. 1.00

00:25:35.540 And you would think that, you know, they bring up this thing of rape and incest and all that,

00:25:40.460 whatever this case may be.

00:25:41.800 Um, this one particular woman, a good woman, was date raped in college, and she feels such

00:25:50.020 shame that even though societal pressures and they can't walk around not married and pregnant 0.98

00:25:55.700 and your parent, you know, all that other pressure, she still regrets not standing up

00:26:00.280 for her child.

00:26:01.280 So both of these stories are the only two encounters I've had.

00:26:06.580 Um, but they always talk about this at the moment, and I know human beings can wash stuff 0.55

00:26:12.760 away, but when death occurs, it's the only thing you can't fix as humans.

00:26:18.840 Um, and I would just say, I'm on the edge of the death penalty.

00:26:23.720 I understand that, you know, as a Christian, a wasted life is a wasted life. 1.00

00:26:30.240 Um, I know I won't get into the deterrent factor or whatever, how many innocent people have

00:26:35.320 been executed, but what I know is there's only one thing we can't solve as human beings,

00:26:41.100 and that's mortality.

00:26:42.560 So I, I have, I have relatives that have adopted children when they couldn't have their own.

00:26:49.400 They kept the mother, the birth mother involved.

00:26:52.020 Both children know they got two mommies, and this is the mommy I live with, and this is the

00:26:56.880 mommy, and she was a professional, uh, and who couldn't have, uh, the children. 1.00

00:27:01.340 But as, as, uh, you can work it out.

00:27:04.620 I don't understand with our, with our ability to know ultrasound, our ability to, we, we do

00:27:10.760 in vitro surgeries now to save children.

00:27:13.760 There's really, the excuse of back alley abortions doesn't hold anymore.

00:27:19.860 We know exactly what's going on.

00:27:22.120 That's so disingenuous.

00:27:24.120 By the third month, you, you, you're doing ultrasounds.

00:27:26.400 They can probably tell you what color the kid's eyes are.

00:27:28.820 And it's a common theme between, uh, men, you know, a number of, uh, stories that we've

00:27:33.780 heard is that, uh, you know, struggling after the abortion.

00:27:36.880 Yeah.

00:27:37.440 Uh, realize, you know, trying to live with yourself and live with what happened after that.

00:27:41.780 Yeah.

00:27:42.160 Uh, it, it's a, it's a struggle all around.

00:27:44.220 And I'm, I'm torn between the, the rape as well.

00:27:47.320 It's a hard one.

00:27:48.300 It is a really hard one.

00:27:49.380 The rape is really hard.

00:27:50.720 Um, cause you know, it, her choice was taken away in the beginning there.

00:27:55.500 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:11.160 Like listening to this podcast.

00:28:16.000 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

00:28:18.700 It's a big day today for the kids all over America, walking out of class in protest to

00:28:28.040 climate change.

00:28:29.340 Inspired by Greta Thunberg, the 16 year old Swedish climate activist.

00:28:34.120 Oh, that's wonderful.

00:28:34.940 Who was just nominated for the Nobel peace prize.

00:28:38.040 Oh, she deserves it.

00:28:39.340 She deserves it.

00:28:40.500 Now more than 100 countries, more than 100 countries are participating in this.

00:28:46.440 Good, amazing, good.

00:28:49.140 The kids are going to, they're going to affect change here, right?

00:28:53.400 Fine.

00:28:53.680 They're, they're the ones to do it because they're inheriting this problem.

00:28:57.740 Jeffy, they're the ones who are going to be punished and pay for this.

00:29:02.140 It's, it's fascinating.

00:29:03.480 Hundreds of thousands of children are expect to walk out of their classrooms today for a

00:29:07.520 global climate strike.

00:29:10.800 Oh no.

00:29:12.000 Amid growing anger at the failure of politicians to tackle the escalating ecological crisis.

00:29:18.580 Oh no.

00:29:19.180 If these kids don't go to school, what will we do?

00:29:21.940 Or if they walk out and stand outside their school for a while, what will we do?

00:29:26.920 I don't know.

00:29:27.900 What do you think that's going to do to us?

00:29:29.260 I don't know.

00:29:29.700 You're going on strike.

00:29:30.840 You're going to walk out of your class on a Friday.

00:29:33.120 So?

00:29:34.080 But look, well, look, it's going to bring, it's going to bring light to the climate emergency

00:29:40.180 facing the planet.

00:29:41.100 Okay.

00:29:41.700 And again, what is the emergency we face?

00:29:43.620 What's going on?

00:29:44.420 Because of government inaction.

00:29:46.140 What's happening?

00:29:46.960 Because of the government inaction.

00:29:48.380 Because there's a climate crisis is what's happening.

00:29:50.500 I don't know what your deal is.

00:29:51.660 I don't know why.

00:29:52.000 Exactly what part of the climate is in crisis right now?

00:29:55.580 Government leadership on climate change is the crisis.

00:29:59.420 Yeah.

00:29:59.880 Okay.

00:30:00.220 But I'm just trying to get to the heart of the problem.

00:30:02.620 What exactly is happening in this crisis that makes it a crisis?

00:30:06.960 Those in power are betraying us, taking away our future.

00:30:11.800 In what way have they taken away your future?

00:30:13.840 Because they're responsible for the climate crisis that's unfolding in horrendous ways around

00:30:18.840 the world.

00:30:19.480 Those ways are what?

00:30:20.520 What are the horrendous ways?

00:30:21.760 I mean, I don't know what you're so fighting about.

00:30:24.340 No, I'm just trying to find out what the horrendous ways.

00:30:26.500 Every country is going to be part of this, except Antarctica.

00:30:29.960 No children are walking out of school in Antarctica.

00:30:31.840 Yeah, because no children live there.

00:30:33.120 I'm just saying they're not part of it, so I don't know what you want to do with that.

00:30:36.120 Little brats in Antarctica.

00:30:37.920 What are you, too good? 0.98

00:30:39.340 Right?

00:30:40.340 Thank you.

00:30:41.540 Thank you.

00:30:43.140 So it's the duty of these children to act.

00:30:46.460 To act, yeah.

00:30:48.240 For our futures.

00:30:49.440 Because the temperature's gone up 0.9 degrees.

00:30:51.860 That's what climate justice means, my friend.

00:30:53.860 Climate justice means this.

00:30:55.300 More food is growing as a result of the warmer climate.

00:30:59.140 So why is that bad?

00:31:00.840 Okay, so there isn't a problem is what you're saying.

00:31:03.120 Right, that's what I'm saying.

00:31:04.140 Oh, whatever.

00:31:04.760 No problem.

00:31:05.340 Whatever.

00:31:05.820 I'm okay with it so far.

00:31:07.080 What's happened?

00:31:08.560 I mean, other than what's always happened, you know?

00:31:12.400 So sometimes it's warmer, sometimes it's colder.

00:31:16.300 And by the way, each of those extremes mean the same thing.

00:31:20.140 Global warming.

00:31:21.220 Oh, yes.

00:31:21.720 Yeah.

00:31:22.060 So if it's hotter than normal, why?

00:31:24.700 That, of course, is global warming.

00:31:25.840 If it's colder than normal, that also is global warming.

00:31:30.060 And if it's about the same as ever, it's global warming.

00:31:33.960 Well, I mean, look, it's all escalating ecological crisis.

00:31:38.480 Yeah.

00:31:38.960 Okay.

00:31:39.800 Okay.

00:31:40.140 So let's walk out of school today.

00:31:42.220 And take a stand.

00:31:43.540 And by the way, you know none of these kids are just looking for a day out of school.

00:31:47.360 Well, Greta isn't.

00:31:48.580 No.

00:31:49.620 Greta's not.

00:31:50.240 But Greta's getting a Nobel Prize, or at least she's been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

00:31:56.160 So good for her.

00:31:57.800 Yeah, that's great.

00:31:58.640 I hope she wins it because what a great cause, getting kids to walk out of class every Friday. 0.71

00:32:05.000 And I guess it is every Friday in Sweden, right?

00:32:09.060 It's starting to be every Friday around the world until somebody recognizes the crisis at hand.

00:32:14.740 There you go.

00:32:15.380 So if somebody doesn't get hysterical over the fact that it's 0.9 degrees warmer in the last 100 years,

00:32:24.280 then they haven't done their job.

00:32:26.840 You can make fun of this crisis all you want.

00:32:28.620 No, I'm scared of it.

00:32:30.680 I'm really frightened over it.

00:32:33.300 Tired of everyone just poo-pooing this because the earth is in an ecological crisis.

00:32:39.320 No, you keep saying that.

00:32:41.020 I'm just not getting the specifics on it.

00:32:43.160 That's all.

00:32:43.660 I'm just looking for the specifics.

00:32:44.780 It's funny that they don't have specifics.

00:32:46.500 No, none.

00:32:47.240 It's weird.

00:32:47.820 Never do.

00:32:48.840 They never do.

00:32:50.220 Al Gore is, well, look at the drought and the fire and the flooding where you see fish

00:33:02.120 swimming down the street on a sunny day.

00:33:07.760 I love that one.

00:33:08.780 That's my favorite one.

00:33:10.280 The swimming, fish swimming down the street on a sunny day.

00:33:14.780 That's the type of ecological crisis we're in right now.

00:33:19.940 It is.

00:33:20.260 Don't you mock that because that's scary.

00:33:23.080 Have you ever seen a fish swim down the street on a sunny day?

00:33:26.380 Actually, I have.

00:33:27.360 Have you really?

00:33:27.900 I have.

00:33:28.480 Oh, okay.

00:33:29.840 Actually, I have.

00:33:30.920 I lived in Florida where the ecological crisis is worse than ever.

00:33:35.440 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:33:36.880 And nobody's doing anything about it, Pat.

00:33:39.180 Right.

00:33:39.900 Even though Al warned us about it.

00:33:41.440 Hey, I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny

00:33:46.920 day.

00:33:47.300 The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of

00:33:52.280 the sea level rise now.

00:33:54.060 We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic

00:34:01.060 consequences if we accelerate the pace of change that's now beginning.

00:34:05.180 There you go.

00:34:05.920 What's good is there was never any high tide before.

00:34:08.220 No.

00:34:08.700 Before the oceans rose up even more than they already are.

00:34:12.340 Right.

00:34:12.620 I mean, it wasn't low tide and high tide and any of that.

00:34:16.660 No, there was none of that.

00:34:18.420 It's because of our eth-u-voi-th that this has happened.

00:34:25.200 And so, otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing fish swimming down the street on a sunny day.

00:34:29.960 I'm surprised that we haven't seen AOC and Al together, have we?

00:34:32.460 With this new Green Deal and Al?

00:34:33.820 No, you would think they'd be a...

00:34:35.460 Yeah, you would.

00:34:36.360 I'm a little...

00:34:37.460 A natural pair.

00:34:39.440 Yeah.

00:34:40.100 I'm surprised Al hasn't backed her up.

00:34:42.120 I don't know what the deal is with that.

00:34:42.900 I haven't even heard him mention the Green New Deal.

00:34:46.540 Yeah, that's fascinating.

00:34:48.880 Why?

00:34:49.420 I don't know.

00:34:50.820 Why?

00:34:50.980 I don't know.

00:34:51.260 Maybe she's trying to horn in on his money.

00:34:53.220 Is he jealous of that?

00:34:54.560 Maybe.

00:34:54.660 Because he didn't propose something that bold?

00:34:56.540 It's very possible.

00:34:57.820 I wonder.

00:34:58.360 I wonder if this little upstart isn't stealing his thunder.

00:35:03.980 She thinks she is.

00:35:04.700 Yeah.

00:35:05.600 Right?

00:35:06.240 That is possible.

00:35:07.240 Oh, yeah.

00:35:07.640 For sure.

00:35:08.000 It's likely, is what it is.

00:35:09.900 It's likely.

00:35:11.280 You know, same with Nancy Pelosi. 1.00

00:35:12.920 She doesn't like her either because she's stealing her thunder as well. 1.00

00:35:16.000 Oh, big time.

00:35:16.720 Oh, big time.

00:35:17.200 And she's causing problems for her. 1.00

00:35:19.200 And so, they don't like it.

00:35:21.620 I mean, the headline, you know, who's in charge?

00:35:23.460 And is Nancy the...

00:35:24.460 Who's the boss?

00:35:25.160 I mean, that could not sit well.

00:35:27.380 AOC's the boss.

00:35:28.540 Yeah.

00:35:29.360 She said so.

00:35:30.260 The young upstarts are.

00:35:31.440 That's for sure.

00:35:32.320 Right.

00:35:33.820 888-727-BECK.

00:35:36.320 Also, did we discover what really happened at Stonehenge?

00:35:40.920 Did we finally figure out that the aliens came down and arranged these gigantic rocks in this particular way because, what, it was a landing site?

00:35:52.020 Or, what is the deal on Stonehenge?

00:35:55.380 I think we've finally gotten the answer.

00:35:57.040 Well, look, you're right.

00:35:58.020 I mean, there used to be, you know, it was a place for, we thought it was a place for burial.

00:36:02.560 We thought it was a place for healing.

00:36:04.380 We thought it was, you know, the observatory.

00:36:06.580 We thought aliens are landing.

00:36:08.420 Right.

00:36:08.560 We thought it was a landing thing.

00:36:09.980 But now, they've discovered about 8,500 bones, and those bones were mostly pigs and cow bones, so they think it was just a barbecue pit.

00:36:24.560 What?

00:36:25.260 They used to have big barbecue parties at Stonehenge.

00:36:29.780 They would bring, they would have, they would barbecue pigs and cows and all the cities and towns and peoples would all meet there, and that's where they had their big barbecue party.

00:36:42.300 And how did they arrange the gigantic stones like that?

00:36:46.280 It was just for the party.

00:36:47.120 Yeah, just for the party.

00:36:48.220 Just for the party.

00:36:50.840 Absolutely amazing.

00:36:52.560 It's just amazing.

00:36:54.180 That's crazy.

00:36:55.280 We know things for facts, but they're not facts.

00:36:57.820 You know, we know aliens built that.

00:37:00.680 Stonehenge is a barbecue pit?

00:37:03.400 It's a plate for barbecue.

00:37:04.860 There's just pig roasts going on.

00:37:06.340 That's fantastic.

00:37:07.540 I mean, come on.

00:37:08.540 That's fantastic.

00:37:09.160 They found mostly pig bones, so it was mostly pork, but there were some few cows there.

00:37:13.600 They did roast a few cows.

00:37:15.120 So, you know it wasn't Texans, because we don't do barbecue pork.

00:37:19.860 We do barbecue beef.

00:37:21.300 There might have been a pig, maybe one or two pigs thrown in there, but it would have been mostly cows.

00:37:25.720 So, clearly, you know Stonehenge didn't happen in Texas.

00:37:28.560 No, it did not, but it's just a community barbecue now.

00:37:31.500 That is fantastic.

00:37:35.500 I love that.

00:37:36.560 It was just a place for, you know, the convergence of, you know, all the municipalities to get together

00:37:41.600 and forge alliances between all the neighboring groups and just have fun.

00:37:45.920 So, it's a neighborhood barbecue area.

00:37:47.380 Yeah, it's just a neighborhood barbecue.

00:37:48.360 We were talking about some of the alternatives to these Hollywood stars that they could have gotten their kids into a lot of different schools

00:38:12.080 that are still pretty good schools, and maybe you wouldn't have had to pay $500,000 for entry.

00:38:20.360 It does seem a little steep.

00:38:21.740 It seems a tad, yeah, a tad steep.

00:38:24.480 And is it worth it?

00:38:26.220 I mean, her daughter, in the case of Lori Loughlin, her daughter didn't even apparently appreciate it,

00:38:32.000 because she said she didn't care about school.

00:38:34.840 And maybe she's just saying that for, you know, her podcast or her beauty blog or whatever she does.

00:38:42.380 Her Instagram posts.

00:38:43.660 Yeah.

00:38:44.260 Where she apparently makes $30,000 to $50,000 per post. 0.99

00:38:48.060 That's pretty good.

00:38:48.980 Yeah, it's not bad.

00:38:49.500 But some of these schools, you know, like, for instance, University of Michigan, pretty good school.

00:39:00.800 Yeah.

00:39:01.320 27% acceptance rate.

00:39:04.440 Wow.

00:39:05.960 So, maybe you could get in there.

00:39:07.400 Maybe.

00:39:08.900 Or maybe not, because 27%.

00:39:11.500 That did not sound that good.

00:39:12.660 I thought it was going to be higher than that.

00:39:14.180 Yeah.

00:39:15.240 Belhaven University in Mississippi, the hardest school in Mississippi to get into.

00:39:19.500 Oh, I mean, Belhaven.

00:39:20.940 59%.

00:39:21.340 Belhaven, that's like the Ivy League of Mississippi.

00:39:25.560 Yes, it apparently is.

00:39:28.380 Let's see if you could go up to Montana and get into Rocky Mountain College.

00:39:31.460 Why would you don't want to do that?

00:39:31.980 64% of students are admitted.

00:39:34.400 64.

00:39:34.960 64.

00:39:35.780 That's a lie.

00:39:36.320 It's like 80.

00:39:37.500 80 or 90.

00:39:38.220 But anyway, you go to Montana, they're late in the end.

00:39:39.880 Yes.

00:39:41.620 Okay, University of Nevada at Reno.

00:39:45.000 88% of the kids get into that school.

00:39:47.540 And that campus is actually beautiful.

00:39:48.880 It's a nice campus.

00:39:50.720 Yeah, it is.

00:39:51.720 You could go up to Laramie, Wyoming.

00:39:53.880 And who doesn't want to go to Laramie, Wyoming?

00:39:55.500 And go to the fine University of Wyoming. 0.95

00:39:58.280 Yeah, the Cowboys, who don't want to be the Cowboys anymore because Cowboys are racist.

00:40:02.020 97% acceptance rate there.

00:40:05.840 In fact, you know.

00:40:09.300 The 3% they didn't accept are the ones that said, you know what, we're not coming there. 0.58

00:40:13.380 I mean, that's about it.

00:40:15.320 So they've checked off saying, well, they just don't, we're not taking them.

00:40:18.140 But I'm looking at the Ivy League school acceptance rates.

00:40:21.600 Columbia, 7%.

00:40:23.300 Wow.

00:40:24.180 That is, that's pretty stiff.

00:40:25.760 Yeah.

00:40:26.100 Princeton, 6%.

00:40:28.440 Wow.

00:40:29.100 Harvard, 5%.

00:40:31.840 So, yeah, you know.

00:40:34.200 Yeah.

00:40:34.800 Okay.

00:40:35.220 You are bribing officials to get your kid in there.

00:40:37.920 Right.

00:40:38.160 If they don't have a 4.0 plus.

00:40:40.480 Or plus.

00:40:41.240 Yeah, that might not even be good enough.

00:40:42.900 You know, 15, 20 on your ACT or SAT or whatever that is.

00:40:46.840 I guess it'd be SAT.

00:40:48.020 And hours donated to help the poor and everything else, man.

00:40:52.160 I mean, you're going to be working hard to get that.

00:40:54.860 Yeah.

00:40:55.080 That's hard work.

00:40:55.980 So it's not just the grades.

00:40:57.380 Yeah.

00:40:57.580 It's not, it's not just your, your test scores.

00:41:00.520 You've got to have some other incentives to get you in there too.

00:41:03.620 You got to be kind of, you know, you do some special things.

00:41:06.380 And good.

00:41:06.880 And that's good.

00:41:07.540 That's what it's supposed to be.

00:41:08.440 Well, it should be.

00:41:08.860 Yeah.

00:41:09.160 That's what it's supposed to be.

00:41:09.800 Yeah.

00:41:11.140 Otherwise, you know, just bribe one of the coaches for $500,000.

00:41:18.020 Why not?

00:41:18.780 Why not?

00:41:19.280 Why not?

00:41:19.720 That's what they thought.

00:41:20.560 Why not?

00:41:21.260 Well, I don't know.

00:41:22.540 Jail?

00:41:23.500 That might be one good reason not to do it.

00:41:26.620 Maybe.

00:41:27.000 Going to jail for wanting the best for your kids.

00:41:28.900 Be interesting to see what happens to them.

00:41:30.320 It is.

00:41:30.500 If they do wind up in jail for it.

00:41:31.860 It will be.

00:41:32.600 It'll be interesting.

00:41:33.560 It'll be.

00:41:33.620 I mean, really, what do you think?

00:41:35.160 Maybe probation?

00:41:36.380 Yeah.

00:41:36.700 That's what I think.

00:41:37.380 I mean, probation.

00:41:38.100 They pay a fine, maybe.

00:41:38.980 They pay a fine.

00:41:39.760 Probation.

00:41:40.880 Community service.

00:41:42.280 Say you're sorry.

00:41:43.020 Something like that.

00:41:43.660 Right.

00:41:43.880 Say you're sorry.

00:41:44.600 She's already been fired from her job. 1.00

00:41:46.580 Right.

00:41:46.980 Which is pretty, you know, that's serious when you haven't even been convicted of anything.

00:41:52.240 Right.

00:41:52.440 So, yeah, I would guess no jail time.

00:41:57.100 Same with Jesse Smollett, by the way.

00:41:59.080 Jesse Smollett, or however you pronounce his name.

00:42:01.460 I don't think he's going to do Jesse.

00:42:02.640 Don't you?

00:42:03.040 I don't think he'll do jail time.

00:42:03.820 I don't know about that one, my friend.

00:42:04.800 You think he will?

00:42:05.420 I think he has to.

00:42:07.580 You think Jesse Smollett will do jail time?

00:42:11.460 I mean, it...

00:42:12.460 How long?

00:42:13.460 Not that long.

00:42:14.160 Because he faces, what, 48 years or something?

00:42:16.420 Well, that's going to be silly, of course.

00:42:18.300 But, you know, he goes in for at least a year, right?

00:42:21.240 Got to do a year.

00:42:22.300 I don't think so.

00:42:23.640 I don't think he will.

00:42:24.900 We'll see.

00:42:26.000 Maybe.

00:42:27.100 But, I mean, he maintains his innocence.

00:42:30.740 And maybe that will hack him off to the point where they will insist on jail time.

00:42:34.300 I don't know.

00:42:35.240 We'll see.

00:42:35.860 I mean, we'll see.

00:42:36.360 Well, you know, look.

00:42:37.160 Right.

00:42:37.460 As of now, he's innocent.

00:42:38.780 Right?

00:42:39.180 Yes.

00:42:39.380 We're just going by what we know.

00:42:40.880 We haven't seen anything in court.

00:42:42.220 There's nothing.

00:42:42.760 You know, the trial's happening next month.

00:42:44.740 And in the case of Empire, they've done the right thing.

00:42:47.180 They're waiting until this is adjudicated.

00:42:49.340 They're waiting to see if the guy is convicted of anything.

00:42:52.100 Unlike the goody two-shoes over there at Hallmark. 0.84

00:42:54.420 Right.

00:42:55.500 Pulling the plug out.

00:42:56.440 They already pulled the plug on poor Lori Loughlin. 1.00

00:42:59.980 888-727-BECK.

00:43:03.200 Also, we've got this leftist protester that went into a college Republicans event at Portland State University.

00:43:13.640 Campus police were there at the meeting.

00:43:15.640 And it's fascinating because this guy comes in and disrupts the meeting for over an hour.

00:43:23.160 This story and clip is just so frustrating.

00:43:27.000 This makes me angry.

00:43:27.500 It's so frustrating.

00:43:28.620 Watch this guy do his thing at a college Republicans event.

00:43:34.040 For those who are listening on radio, he's just sitting there now.

00:43:41.480 Ringing a cowbell.

00:43:42.780 Cowbell.

00:43:43.920 While the guy's trying to present whatever it is he's presenting.

00:43:48.380 And he won't leave.

00:43:48.940 He stands up and now he's walking toward the front of the room.

00:43:52.280 I mean, they ask him to leave.

00:43:53.540 They say, okay, okay, you made your point.

00:43:55.500 Get out.

00:43:56.180 Nope.

00:43:57.080 Walking up to the front of the room and I'm going to walk in front of the screen.

00:44:00.160 So that's what he does.

00:44:01.760 Watch this.

00:44:02.700 He gets into a little altercation with one of the members of the College Republicans Club.

00:44:08.800 In front of the presentation.

00:44:14.800 I mean, how can you not want to engage this guy? 0.98

00:44:18.920 Well, you'd want to punch him square in the face is what you'd want to do. 0.94

00:44:23.100 Whether you did it or not. 0.99

00:44:24.620 By engage, I mean punch in the face. 0.99

00:44:26.360 Yes, I do. 0.97

00:44:28.120 I want to and I wasn't there.

00:44:30.200 Right.

00:44:30.820 It's very frustrating.

00:44:33.320 And you know.

00:44:33.840 Wow.

00:44:34.100 But that's what he wants.

00:44:36.060 Right?

00:44:36.280 I mean, he wants that engagement.

00:44:37.900 Yes, he does.

00:44:38.400 I know that.

00:44:38.720 I know that.

00:44:39.280 And so in your heart, you don't want to do it. 0.99

00:44:42.720 But on the other side of your heart, you want to just punch him right in the face and get him out of there. 0.98

00:44:47.640 And that went on for over an hour. 0.97

00:44:50.700 The police were there.

00:44:51.980 The cop comes up.

00:44:52.820 The police security was there.

00:44:53.980 Does nothing.

00:44:54.980 Stands there.

00:44:55.840 I don't understand how they make that happen.

00:44:59.520 At one point, the guy doing the presentation gets up in the guy's face.

00:45:04.120 In the protester's face.

00:45:05.640 Doesn't do anything.

00:45:06.560 He's got his hands behind his back.

00:45:07.960 Right.

00:45:08.200 But they're just shoulder to shoulder.

00:45:09.240 And they're, yeah, they're kind of pushing chests together.

00:45:12.400 And the cop comes up and moves the guy who's doing the presentation.

00:45:17.700 No.

00:45:19.440 How about you get him out of here?

00:45:22.900 It, you don't have the right to ruin this event.

00:45:26.720 Do you?

00:45:27.080 Don't the people in the room that are there for the event have the right to enjoy, to experience the event?

00:45:34.940 I would think so.

00:45:35.780 I mean, that's what they were there for. 1.00

00:45:37.160 They weren't there for you, ringing your stupid cowbell for an hour. 1.00

00:45:39.780 The cops should have gotten him out of there. 1.00

00:45:41.260 I think so, too.

00:45:42.520 It's unbelievable that they didn't.

00:45:44.880 I'm not even talking about arresting him or anything.

00:45:46.780 I'm just saying, look, you made your point.

00:45:47.940 Get him out of there.

00:45:48.120 Get out.

00:45:48.680 Yeah, get out. 0.73

00:45:49.560 You don't.

00:45:50.520 You're disrupting this event.

00:45:53.320 You're not allowed to do that.

00:45:55.220 He starts bragging about it on social media.

00:45:59.780 I've shut this entire S down all by myself, he bragged afterwards.

00:46:04.780 And so, you know, he got exactly what he wanted.

00:46:09.400 He got the publicity.

00:46:13.420 No kidding.

00:46:14.120 No joke about that.

00:46:15.700 And he got the satisfaction knowing that he shut the event down.

00:46:19.220 Yeah.

00:46:20.140 So the Republicans didn't have their event because of him and his cowbell.

00:46:24.020 Good for you.

00:46:25.300 Good for you.

00:46:26.280 Yeah, nice job.

00:46:26.920 Good for you.

00:46:27.880 Congratulations.

00:46:28.360 Have you ever seen, I can't think of a time when I've seen a person on the right go into

00:46:35.480 an event on the left and do something similar?

00:46:39.120 No, but it sounds fun.

00:46:40.580 It does, doesn't it?

00:46:42.020 It sounds fun.

00:46:43.240 It makes me want to go buy a cowbell.

00:46:45.260 I know.

00:46:46.380 And go to one of these socialist meetings at some egghead college and start ringing a bell.

00:46:52.240 You'd be arrested.

00:46:52.860 You would.

00:46:53.320 You'd be arrested.

00:46:53.900 Immediately.

00:46:54.600 You'd be arrested.

00:46:54.960 And it'd be your fault.

00:46:56.160 And if there was any violence at all, it's all your fault.

00:46:58.760 Yeah.

00:46:59.020 Or they'd.

00:46:59.280 A hundred percent your fault. 0.99

00:47:00.120 Five people would jump you and beat you senseless. 0.92

00:47:02.720 And it'd be your fault. 0.98

00:47:03.300 And nothing would happen.

00:47:04.560 Exactly.

00:47:04.660 You'd report it and then people would go, yeah, right.

00:47:07.060 Well, you deserved it.

00:47:07.960 You shouldn't have been there doing that.

00:47:08.860 What are you doing?

00:47:10.460 Yes.

00:47:10.860 Why do you hate them? 0.98

00:47:11.920 You racist. 0.98

00:47:13.640 Exactly. 0.89

00:47:14.880 It's amazing.

00:47:15.940 Amazing.

00:47:17.320 It's agonizing is what it is.

00:47:21.700 But, you know, this is what we have to deal with.

00:47:24.020 This is the, it's, it's the environment right now.

00:47:27.880 It's, it's not an environment conducive to being conservative.

00:47:32.580 Uh, and it's an, it alone that, I mean, it's, that's just a civil society, right?

00:47:38.480 I mean, yes.

00:47:39.440 I mean, okay.

00:47:39.940 So you disagree with this group that's presenting something in this room at a college.

00:47:45.420 Okay.

00:47:46.540 Fine.

00:47:47.540 Tough.

00:47:48.180 Move on.

00:47:48.760 Yeah.

00:47:49.960 Move on with your life.

00:47:51.820 Uh, it just doesn't, I don't, it doesn't, I don't comprehend that.

00:47:54.600 How, how you, you need to, then they can't have their say.

00:47:59.140 And I think that's how people on the right look at things.

00:48:02.720 And so that's why they don't disrupt events like this.

00:48:05.760 You know, let them do their thing.

00:48:07.220 I don't care.

00:48:07.860 So what?

00:48:08.320 But they want to shut down anybody on the right, uh, speaking out or doing a presentation

00:48:14.480 or trying to educate other people, uh, because they can't win the argument on ideas and they

00:48:20.500 know it.

00:48:21.200 And so the, and some of those beliefs are, uh, working by the way, uh, cause you can't

00:48:26.020 say anything bad.

00:48:27.200 Right.

00:48:27.720 Uh, you can't say anything bad.

00:48:28.820 You can't even tweet anything bad.

00:48:30.080 You can't tweet bad.

00:48:31.080 You can't think bad.

00:48:32.240 We'll just, cause we're not going to show it.

00:48:34.100 You will be shut down.

00:48:34.920 You'll be shut down.

00:48:35.800 Yeah. 0.99

00:48:36.300 You'll be squashed.

00:48:37.160 Yes.
