The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program

00:00:00.260 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:00:04.920 On Demand.

00:00:05.940 Hey, it's Stu. Welcome to the podcast.

00:00:07.680 Glenn Beck also joining me here.

00:00:09.900 Can we get a President Spartacus?

00:00:11.760 Is where we start the show today.

00:00:13.140 I hope we can.

00:00:13.640 I need one. I need a President Spartacus.

00:00:16.680 It's very, very important.

00:00:18.580 We go through

00:00:19.520 Cory Booker's potential run for president.

00:00:23.200 He's going to Iowa.

00:00:24.120 No way. He's just going to hell.

00:00:27.060 I'd say he has no chance, but I've learned not to say that.

00:00:30.440 That's something.

00:00:31.840 Over a million ordered to evacuate

00:00:34.060 as North Carolina looks like it's getting really hard.

00:00:38.020 The models have worsened significantly

00:00:40.120 in the last 24 hours.

00:00:41.900 We'll see how that goes.

00:00:43.760 Also, this is September 12th.

00:00:45.600 This is the day we all came together.

00:00:47.380 And I ask you to come together and help us.

00:00:49.940 We already have over 200 semi-trucks

00:00:52.160 on the road headed towards the Carolinas

00:00:54.140 loaded with food and water

00:00:56.000 and supplies, shovels

00:00:58.120 and chainsaws.

00:01:00.000 We have

00:01:00.820 Operation Barbecue there.

00:01:03.740 We can feed 30,000 people

00:01:05.520 a day.

00:01:07.420 We have a team from

00:01:09.840 Rubicon

00:01:10.680 that is already on the ground.

00:01:12.840 Those guys are amazing

00:01:13.760 at helping people in bad situations.

00:01:15.380 But we need your help

00:01:16.060 at mercuryone.org.

00:01:17.560 We talked to Brad Meltzer today

00:01:18.740 about his new book

00:01:19.840 and also his experience

00:01:21.000 with his son's homework,

00:01:23.180 which is incredible.

00:01:24.440 Really great.

00:01:24.980 And also a professor

00:01:27.140 who is a conservative,

00:01:29.880 as he says it,

00:01:30.780 the only conservative professor

00:01:32.060 he's ever known himself.

00:01:33.840 English.

00:01:34.340 English lit professor.

00:01:36.000 Yep.

00:01:36.300 Talks about how his students

00:01:38.400 can get offended by words

00:01:40.600 and what he's done

00:01:41.340 to try to solve that

00:01:42.400 at the beginning.

00:01:43.360 A preemptive blast

00:01:45.200 against political correctness.

00:01:46.380 It's actually a very sad

00:01:47.680 but compelling story

00:01:49.780 at the same time.

00:01:50.700 Yeah.

00:01:50.980 And I felt positive afterwards.

00:01:54.320 Yeah.

00:01:54.540 I felt good.

00:01:54.940 Yeah.

00:01:55.160 And you'll hear it

00:01:55.780 from a guy who's inside

00:01:56.800 and who's dealing

00:01:57.940 with this every day.

00:01:58.540 on today's podcast.

00:02:05.920 You're listening to

00:02:07.060 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:12.160 It's Wednesday, September 12th.

00:02:14.640 Glenn Beck.

00:02:16.040 Well, guess who's coming to Iowa?

00:02:19.220 Everybody's favorite Spartacus,

00:02:21.740 Senator Cory Booker.

00:02:23.660 That's right.

00:02:24.740 He's coming to Iowa.

00:02:26.740 The senator from New Jersey,

00:02:28.540 is moving on

00:02:30.020 from his

00:02:30.500 I am Spartacus moment

00:02:32.460 during the Kavanaugh hearing

00:02:34.100 just last week.

00:02:35.460 A moment, by the way,

00:02:36.860 that was more heroic

00:02:38.140 than anything I think

00:02:40.420 most Americans have ever seen.

00:02:43.480 According to Cory Booker.

00:02:45.460 Now he's preparing

00:02:46.740 to dazzle Iowa Democrats

00:02:48.660 as the featured speaker

00:02:50.280 at their fall gala

00:02:51.560 in October.

00:02:54.140 Is it too early for me

00:02:55.820 to start printing Spartacus

00:02:57.880 for President Bumper stickers?

00:02:59.440 I don't think so.

00:03:01.360 It's never too early

00:03:02.520 because potential Democratic candidates

00:03:05.100 are already jockeying for position.

00:03:08.060 Seven other Democrats,

00:03:09.560 plus Bernie Sanders,

00:03:10.940 have made appearances in Iowa

00:03:13.160 just recently,

00:03:15.040 each one nurturing

00:03:16.440 their own Oval Office dream.

00:03:19.620 Iowa Democratic Party Chairman

00:03:21.000 Troy Price says,

00:03:22.080 we welcome anybody

00:03:22.860 who wants to help us

00:03:23.700 get Democrats elected in 2018

00:03:25.400 and we're sure happy

00:03:27.160 to have Senator Cory Booker's help.

00:03:30.260 This dinner is only about

00:03:32.200 the great opportunities ahead of us

00:03:33.880 in this election this fall.

00:03:35.900 I'm sure it is.

00:03:38.360 Now there's two schools of thought here

00:03:40.460 when you show up in Iowa.

00:03:42.660 You know, it's kind of like,

00:03:44.020 you know,

00:03:44.400 asking the most popular girl

00:03:45.700 in school to the prom.

00:03:46.880 You can either come out,

00:03:48.400 right out and ask her

00:03:49.280 early and often,

00:03:51.200 hey,

00:03:51.840 whoa,

00:03:52.160 what do you think about

00:03:53.320 me and me going to the prom?

00:03:56.440 You know,

00:03:57.260 that's what,

00:03:58.020 you know,

00:03:59.840 Bernie Sanders did.

00:04:01.320 And the other one is to go,

00:04:03.700 so,

00:04:04.680 how you doing?

00:04:07.300 Fine.

00:04:08.360 Yeah.

00:04:09.920 Just wanted to say hi.

00:04:12.660 Hey,

00:04:13.520 I know we just saw each other yesterday,

00:04:15.680 but I'm back.

00:04:16.520 Could I carry your books

00:04:19.060 or something like that

00:04:20.800 that would maybe make you notice me?

00:04:23.580 Because then I will ask around,

00:04:25.680 my friends will ask around

00:04:27.060 to see if you like me

00:04:28.200 after you notice me.

00:04:29.240 That is what Cory Booker

00:04:31.520 and so many people do in Iowa.

00:04:33.480 They're just hanging out,

00:04:34.880 trying to see.

00:04:36.380 They don't want to ask.

00:04:37.860 No, no, no.

00:04:38.580 I don't want to be president.

00:04:39.960 I just,

00:04:40.520 hey,

00:04:40.980 Iowa,

00:04:41.500 I'm just here.

00:04:42.500 Could I carry your books

00:04:43.680 home from school?

00:04:45.740 Uh-huh.

00:04:47.920 Booker has placed

00:04:48.660 four staffers in Iowa

00:04:50.180 to work on the campaigns

00:04:51.740 of state Democratic candidates.

00:04:53.680 That's usually an indicator

00:04:55.780 that you want to do something

00:04:57.380 with the White House.

00:05:00.040 But we're talking Spartacus.

00:05:03.380 Over the next couple of weeks,

00:05:05.840 if Booker is photographed

00:05:08.020 wearing a hard hat,

00:05:09.420 kissing a baby,

00:05:10.300 eating pancakes

00:05:11.200 in a small town diner,

00:05:12.740 or doing all three

00:05:14.480 of those things at once,

00:05:16.680 well,

00:05:17.480 you'll know Spartacus

00:05:19.440 2020 is a done deal.

00:05:21.860 But why spend time

00:05:24.580 talking about that

00:05:26.140 when there's something

00:05:28.420 more important

00:05:29.340 that actually matters?

00:05:32.640 And even Spartacus

00:05:35.260 cannot help us.

00:05:37.380 I want to begin the show

00:05:41.100 there.

00:05:42.840 Let me take a quick

00:05:43.980 just 20 seconds

00:05:45.320 break,

00:05:46.220 and then I want to

00:05:47.160 come back with

00:05:48.020 some audio

00:05:49.300 and another piece

00:05:51.720 of a story

00:05:52.260 that you have not

00:05:53.500 heard.

00:05:54.060 So we got Spartacus,

00:05:56.200 and that's the news

00:05:57.020 that everybody wants

00:05:57.820 to know, right?

00:05:58.580 Who's running

00:05:59.320 for president

00:06:00.460 in 2020?

00:06:02.320 Does that really

00:06:03.160 affect you

00:06:03.720 at all?

00:06:04.920 Is that

00:06:05.160 is that

00:06:06.040 as important

00:06:06.920 to you

00:06:07.600 now

00:06:08.200 to strategize

00:06:09.300 2020?

00:06:10.600 Or is it

00:06:11.600 better to look

00:06:12.700 at

00:06:13.060 what the hell

00:06:14.860 is happening

00:06:15.400 to us right now?

00:06:17.360 Because you can

00:06:18.080 have all the

00:06:18.540 slick ad campaigns

00:06:19.600 you want,

00:06:21.640 but

00:06:21.800 who are

00:06:23.600 the Democrats

00:06:24.560 really appealing

00:06:26.240 to?

00:06:28.220 Let me

00:06:28.860 play something

00:06:29.720 that came out

00:06:30.160 yesterday.

00:06:30.820 Carol Cook,

00:06:31.960 she's a

00:06:32.540 she's an old

00:06:33.660 Jamie,

00:06:34.460 Broadway,

00:06:35.160 actress.

00:06:36.020 I remember

00:06:36.900 her in 1956

00:06:38.500 when she was

00:06:39.840 Hello Dolly.

00:06:42.100 And

00:06:42.700 she was

00:06:44.300 she was coming

00:06:44.960 out of

00:06:45.360 some restaurant

00:06:46.800 or a show

00:06:47.340 or something

00:06:47.860 with her husband

00:06:49.320 who was a

00:06:50.280 spry 90

00:06:51.340 himself.

00:06:52.740 And

00:06:53.120 she was asked,

00:06:55.620 hey,

00:06:55.740 what do you think

00:06:56.420 about those people

00:06:57.060 that brought the

00:06:57.580 Trump 2020

00:06:58.840 banner

00:06:59.520 to the

00:07:01.260 Frozen

00:07:01.740 show?

00:07:03.800 Now,

00:07:04.000 why would you

00:07:04.420 do that?

00:07:05.160 Why would you

00:07:06.500 do that?

00:07:07.200 What is the

00:07:07.940 point?

00:07:09.340 So,

00:07:09.860 they brought

00:07:10.360 this big

00:07:10.740 banner,

00:07:11.520 they unfurled

00:07:12.720 it right in

00:07:13.640 the front row,

00:07:14.780 one of the

00:07:15.320 actors broke

00:07:16.240 character and

00:07:17.220 took the

00:07:17.820 thing away

00:07:18.660 and put it

00:07:20.080 backstage.

00:07:21.520 Appropriate.

00:07:23.520 Well,

00:07:24.740 they had to

00:07:25.420 ask,

00:07:25.680 TMZ had to

00:07:26.520 ask,

00:07:27.340 legend,

00:07:31.300 Carol Cook,

00:07:32.380 talk about

00:07:32.800 what she

00:07:33.220 thought.

00:07:33.760 And here's

00:07:34.320 what she

00:07:34.560 said.

00:07:35.140 Is that

00:07:35.540 a proper

00:07:35.940 venue for,

00:07:36.860 you know,

00:07:37.540 a Trumper

00:07:38.640 to bring

00:07:39.440 a banner

00:07:41.420 to?

00:07:41.820 Well, my answer

00:07:41.980 to that is,

00:07:43.120 oh, this is

00:07:43.740 good.

00:07:44.480 Where was it?

00:07:45.540 Okay, stop.

00:07:46.220 Stop it right

00:07:46.940 there.

00:07:47.220 Stop it right

00:07:47.780 there.

00:07:48.720 Her husband

00:07:49.540 says,

00:07:50.220 oh, this

00:07:51.320 is good.

00:07:52.960 Where would

00:07:53.520 you say it?

00:07:55.920 Her husband,

00:07:56.740 they've already

00:07:57.200 said this

00:07:57.860 multiple times,

00:08:00.620 apparently,

00:08:01.420 because it

00:08:03.020 always gets

00:08:03.600 a big laugh.

00:08:08.280 It gets a

00:08:10.660 huge laugh.

00:08:13.700 So, he

00:08:14.460 interrupts and

00:08:14.960 he's going to

00:08:15.360 say, but no,

00:08:15.820 no, no,

00:08:16.040 no, you

00:08:16.960 say it.

00:08:17.640 Because

00:08:17.860 you're going

00:08:19.440 to be so

00:08:20.180 funny when

00:08:20.800 you say it.

00:08:21.920 Here's what

00:08:22.300 she says.

00:08:23.200 No, you

00:08:23.760 just, no.

00:08:24.740 Where is

00:08:25.480 John Wilkes

00:08:26.360 Booth when

00:08:27.060 you need

00:08:27.500 him?

00:08:29.100 Right?

00:08:30.640 Yes, that's

00:08:31.620 what she

00:08:31.940 said.

00:08:32.220 You're going

00:08:32.760 to ask me

00:08:33.200 who the

00:08:33.540 hell John

00:08:34.120 Wilkes Booth

00:08:34.260 is.

00:08:34.280 No, I

00:08:34.620 know who

00:08:34.960 John Wilkes

00:08:35.380 Booth is.

00:08:35.500 Thank you,

00:08:36.120 darling.

00:08:36.720 He killed

00:08:37.560 President.

00:08:38.420 Where is

00:08:39.000 he when

00:08:39.320 you need

00:08:39.760 him?

00:08:41.280 He has

00:08:42.020 to know.

00:08:43.620 So, we

00:08:43.940 need to

00:08:44.180 kill

00:08:44.380 President

00:08:44.740 now.

00:08:45.580 He

00:08:45.980 did.

00:08:46.400 No.

00:08:47.860 Why not?

00:08:49.000 Okay, stop.

00:08:50.220 Stop for a

00:08:51.020 second.

00:08:52.300 So, she's

00:08:53.340 like,

00:08:53.840 you don't

00:08:55.120 ask me

00:08:55.660 about

00:08:56.060 John Wilkes

00:08:56.980 Booth.

00:08:58.300 I dated

00:08:59.300 him back

00:09:00.700 in the

00:09:01.040 40s,

00:09:01.660 the 1840s.

00:09:04.080 So, she's,

00:09:05.820 she is,

00:09:06.880 the thing

00:09:07.620 that she

00:09:08.540 has said

00:09:09.080 it so

00:09:09.360 many times,

00:09:10.680 apparently

00:09:11.080 somebody said

00:09:11.860 to her,

00:09:12.200 who's John

00:09:12.640 Wilkes

00:09:12.880 Booth?

00:09:13.160 You're

00:09:15.420 not going

00:09:15.680 to ask

00:09:15.980 me?

00:09:16.160 Oh, thank

00:09:16.780 you, darling.

00:09:17.420 I'm so

00:09:17.940 sick of

00:09:18.540 the stupid

00:09:19.100 people who

00:09:20.200 don't remember

00:09:21.280 or don't

00:09:21.800 know their

00:09:22.620 history of

00:09:23.320 John Wilkes

00:09:23.940 Booth.

00:09:25.240 I live on

00:09:26.520 the Upper

00:09:27.060 West Side,

00:09:28.100 and there

00:09:29.260 are so many

00:09:29.860 cretins that

00:09:30.920 just don't

00:09:31.360 know their

00:09:31.780 history.

00:09:32.280 So, she

00:09:35.800 is, she

00:09:37.260 is taking

00:09:37.840 this to,

00:09:39.420 thank you

00:09:40.220 for at

00:09:40.620 least knowing

00:09:41.080 your history,

00:09:42.000 instead of,

00:09:43.520 oh, am I

00:09:44.340 going to be

00:09:44.800 in real

00:09:45.180 trouble?

00:09:45.920 Then the

00:09:46.520 press says,

00:09:47.480 so you

00:09:47.900 think we

00:09:48.300 should kill

00:09:48.860 Donald Trump?

00:09:50.380 And she's,

00:09:51.240 you have to

00:09:51.700 see the

00:09:51.980 video, she

00:09:52.620 stands there

00:09:53.820 slyly.

00:09:56.780 Her

00:09:57.040 husband tries

00:09:57.980 to laugh

00:09:58.620 it off.

00:09:59.320 You know,

00:10:00.100 I didn't,

00:10:00.860 oh, no,

00:10:01.380 this joke

00:10:02.540 means something

00:10:03.380 entirely

00:10:04.020 different.

00:10:05.560 I'm sorry,

00:10:06.400 what were we

00:10:06.840 talking about?

00:10:07.540 We're both

00:10:07.940 senile.

00:10:11.060 She says,

00:10:12.540 yeah, why

00:10:14.360 not?

00:10:15.520 Well, I

00:10:15.920 don't know,

00:10:16.340 other than it

00:10:16.840 being an

00:10:17.220 assassination of

00:10:18.000 a president,

00:10:18.840 you know,

00:10:19.540 it's usually a

00:10:20.520 bad thing,

00:10:21.560 other than,

00:10:22.180 you know,

00:10:22.360 even making

00:10:23.100 that joke

00:10:23.680 is really

00:10:25.220 dangerous.

00:10:26.520 Even though,

00:10:27.840 if I would

00:10:28.560 have said

00:10:28.860 anything like

00:10:29.760 that about

00:10:30.360 President Obama,

00:10:31.380 you would

00:10:32.460 have led

00:10:32.880 a team

00:10:33.480 of senior

00:10:34.060 citizens to

00:10:34.920 try to beat

00:10:35.520 me with

00:10:35.940 their Broadway

00:10:36.520 canes.

00:10:40.760 I don't

00:10:41.380 know,

00:10:41.620 maybe that's

00:10:42.160 why not.

00:10:44.440 So that's

00:10:45.240 the outrage

00:10:45.880 today.

00:10:47.680 But I'm not

00:10:48.500 really outraged

00:10:49.140 by it.

00:10:50.060 Because I

00:10:50.560 know who

00:10:50.800 she is.

00:10:52.900 And she

00:10:53.520 doesn't affect

00:10:54.020 my life

00:10:54.540 at all.

00:10:57.020 None of

00:10:57.320 those Broadway

00:10:57.820 people do.

00:10:59.500 I don't

00:10:59.840 really care.

00:11:01.380 it should

00:11:04.240 concern the

00:11:04.900 Secret Service.

00:11:06.520 Not that

00:11:07.140 she said

00:11:07.760 it.

00:11:07.920 Not like

00:11:08.240 she's going

00:11:09.020 to be

00:11:09.800 John Wilkes

00:11:10.380 but.

00:11:13.460 But that

00:11:14.280 she has

00:11:14.940 said this

00:11:15.560 so much

00:11:16.240 and people

00:11:17.300 have laughed

00:11:18.160 about it

00:11:18.720 so much.

00:11:19.760 I mean,

00:11:20.200 is the

00:11:21.200 press

00:11:21.660 concerned?

00:11:22.520 Because words

00:11:23.300 do have

00:11:23.740 consequences.

00:11:24.720 You never

00:11:25.200 know.

00:11:25.580 Even in a

00:11:26.180 joke,

00:11:26.520 I learned

00:11:27.160 this from

00:11:27.700 them between

00:11:28.420 2008 and

00:11:29.760 2016.

00:11:31.460 They taught

00:11:31.940 me very,

00:11:32.700 very well

00:11:33.280 that words

00:11:34.060 have consequences

00:11:34.900 and even

00:11:35.440 when you're

00:11:35.880 joking,

00:11:36.440 you don't

00:11:37.060 know who

00:11:37.640 might be

00:11:38.200 hearing that

00:11:38.900 and what

00:11:39.540 it might

00:11:39.960 cause them

00:11:40.640 to do.

00:11:41.380 They might

00:11:41.980 think you're

00:11:42.540 serious.

00:11:44.160 Well,

00:11:44.860 yes,

00:11:45.420 they might

00:11:45.820 think you're

00:11:46.180 serious.

00:11:46.620 Of course,

00:11:47.160 when she

00:11:47.680 said it

00:11:48.320 and she

00:11:49.260 said,

00:11:50.040 seriously,

00:11:51.940 well,

00:11:52.380 why not?

00:11:53.840 I kind

00:11:54.540 of took

00:11:54.860 her

00:11:55.000 seriously,

00:11:55.940 you know?

00:11:57.080 I think

00:11:57.880 she meant

00:11:58.380 that.

00:12:02.160 But let's

00:12:02.940 go for

00:12:03.500 today's

00:12:04.700 outrage.

00:12:05.000 That was

00:12:05.280 yesterday's

00:12:05.900 outrage.

00:12:07.060 And if

00:12:07.440 anybody,

00:12:07.900 do we have

00:12:08.160 the jingle?

00:12:08.760 If anybody

00:12:09.240 is addicted

00:12:09.840 to outrage,

00:12:10.820 today's your

00:12:11.320 lucky day.

00:12:12.620 Addicted

00:12:13.060 to outrage.

00:12:15.360 Yes.

00:12:17.160 Here's

00:12:17.640 today's

00:12:18.400 outrage.

00:12:21.960 Um,

00:12:23.180 on

00:12:27.520 Facebook.

00:12:32.560 No,

00:12:33.000 it's got

00:12:33.180 the blue

00:12:33.440 checkmark,

00:12:33.920 so this

00:12:34.200 is Twitter.

00:12:36.360 On

00:12:36.760 Twitter,

00:12:37.800 a woman

00:12:38.780 just,

00:12:40.560 I don't

00:12:40.780 even want,

00:12:41.120 just give

00:12:41.480 her first

00:12:41.800 name,

00:12:42.020 Cassandra,

00:12:42.860 wrote,

00:12:43.580 who's going

00:12:44.000 to the

00:12:44.420 MAGA

00:12:44.680 meetup

00:12:46.060 So there's

00:12:46.460 a meetup,

00:12:47.280 you know,

00:12:47.520 where she's

00:12:47.920 at,

00:12:48.120 who's

00:12:48.300 going?

00:12:49.640 Okay.

00:12:51.000 Dream

00:12:51.520 Star

00:12:51.880 Justice.

00:12:54.160 Um,

00:12:55.480 he or

00:12:55.920 she wrote

00:12:56.420 in,

00:12:57.120 I'm coming,

00:12:58.340 but I'm

00:12:58.940 coming with

00:12:59.400 a gun,

00:13:00.140 and I

00:13:00.480 expect to

00:13:01.140 get numerous

00:13:01.940 blood-stained

00:13:02.800 MAGA hats

00:13:03.660 as trophies.

00:13:06.220 Oh.

00:13:08.400 Okay.

00:13:09.840 All right.

00:13:11.520 Okay,

00:13:12.040 well,

00:13:12.200 that's okay.

00:13:13.520 We can say

00:13:14.320 things like

00:13:14.880 that on

00:13:15.420 Twitter.

00:13:15.740 that's okay.

00:13:18.920 We can,

00:13:19.620 we can,

00:13:20.320 we can say

00:13:21.140 that,

00:13:22.140 and the

00:13:22.860 press

00:13:23.260 won't even

00:13:24.200 notice it.

00:13:29.500 Now,

00:13:30.160 here's the

00:13:30.480 thing.

00:13:32.480 Why has,

00:13:35.240 why did,

00:13:36.200 why did

00:13:36.520 this fail

00:13:37.280 in 1968?

00:13:38.880 Why did

00:13:39.580 this fail?

00:13:40.060 For a

00:13:42.520 couple of

00:13:42.820 reasons.

00:13:44.280 The,

00:13:44.800 the

00:13:45.400 communist

00:13:46.880 revolution,

00:13:47.980 and Democrats,

00:13:49.000 if you are

00:13:49.680 not awake

00:13:50.500 yet,

00:13:51.040 to see

00:13:52.660 that you

00:13:53.380 are in

00:13:53.920 bed with

00:13:54.660 people who

00:13:55.440 want to

00:13:56.240 shut down

00:13:57.080 capitalism,

00:13:57.960 they want

00:13:59.740 to destroy

00:14:00.880 the Constitution,

00:14:02.280 all you have

00:14:03.120 to do

00:14:03.600 is listen

00:14:04.940 to them.

00:14:05.760 not all

00:14:07.260 Democrats are

00:14:07.920 saying that,

00:14:08.780 but the

00:14:09.600 social Democrats

00:14:10.420 are,

00:14:11.460 and that's

00:14:12.600 who's running

00:14:13.140 your party

00:14:13.860 right now.

00:14:15.320 You are a,

00:14:17.060 you're a host

00:14:18.240 for a virus

00:14:19.800 that is trying

00:14:20.780 to destroy

00:14:21.480 the Western

00:14:22.300 way of life.

00:14:23.200 Now,

00:14:23.720 you can either

00:14:24.340 start taking

00:14:25.040 medicine,

00:14:25.800 and I'm not

00:14:26.380 suggesting that

00:14:27.000 you,

00:14:27.320 that you take

00:14:27.920 my medicine

00:14:28.460 and you turn

00:14:29.060 into a

00:14:29.580 Republican.

00:14:30.280 I'm not

00:14:30.660 suggesting that.

00:14:31.880 I'm saying

00:14:32.560 you take some

00:14:33.140 medicine and

00:14:33.700 turn into a

00:14:34.600 decent American,

00:14:35.600 you separate

00:14:37.620 yourself from

00:14:39.140 people like

00:14:39.900 this.

00:14:41.280 You separate

00:14:42.440 yourself from

00:14:43.280 people who

00:14:43.760 say, you

00:14:44.160 know what,

00:14:44.660 capitalism

00:14:45.040 doesn't work.

00:14:46.260 If you don't

00:14:47.360 think capitalism

00:14:48.240 works, that's

00:14:49.480 fine.

00:14:50.080 Then state

00:14:50.940 that loudly

00:14:52.020 and clearly.

00:14:53.700 But if you

00:14:54.320 do, you need

00:14:55.820 to state that

00:14:56.960 just as loudly

00:14:58.020 and clearly

00:14:58.680 in your own

00:14:59.780 circles and

00:15:00.720 outside of

00:15:01.620 your own

00:15:02.020 circles.

00:15:03.280 There are

00:15:04.120 people on

00:15:05.020 the far

00:15:05.560 left that

00:15:06.500 are now

00:15:06.960 leaving the

00:15:07.820 far left

00:15:08.700 because they

00:15:09.560 realize how

00:15:10.520 dangerous these

00:15:11.640 people are

00:15:12.120 becoming.

00:15:13.080 Not me

00:15:13.840 saying this,

00:15:14.960 people in

00:15:15.780 the far

00:15:16.320 left.

00:15:17.480 They're

00:15:17.860 saying it.

00:15:20.380 They are

00:15:21.380 separating

00:15:21.920 themselves because

00:15:22.720 they realize

00:15:23.380 these guys

00:15:24.640 will kill

00:15:26.160 people.

00:15:26.640 You give

00:15:27.040 them power

00:15:27.780 and they

00:15:28.600 will kill

00:15:29.420 people who

00:15:30.460 disagree with

00:15:31.100 them because

00:15:31.860 they're already

00:15:32.420 trying to

00:15:33.040 silence them on

00:15:34.060 the fringes.

00:15:35.300 But they've

00:15:35.800 already also

00:15:36.900 started to

00:15:37.440 take off the

00:15:38.040 masks and

00:15:38.800 say, yeah,

00:15:39.640 we don't

00:15:40.140 believe in

00:15:40.580 capitalism.

00:15:41.080 We don't

00:15:41.960 believe in

00:15:42.720 the Constitution.

00:15:44.100 We believe

00:15:44.600 this is a

00:15:45.200 failure.

00:15:46.280 We've got to

00:15:46.700 try something

00:15:47.400 new.

00:15:48.340 Great.

00:15:49.680 But is

00:15:50.100 that you

00:15:50.860 as a

00:15:51.700 Democrat?

00:15:52.740 Is that

00:15:53.360 who you

00:15:53.960 want in

00:15:54.620 your party?

00:15:55.340 Because

00:15:55.760 anybody who

00:15:56.460 is saying

00:15:56.980 that on

00:15:57.860 my side,

00:15:58.540 I reject.

00:15:59.980 anybody who

00:16:01.940 says, yeah,

00:16:02.760 I'm going

00:16:03.520 to the

00:16:04.140 pussy ad

00:16:05.240 party and

00:16:06.020 I'm going

00:16:06.460 to collect

00:16:07.560 a lot of

00:16:08.240 blood-stained

00:16:09.080 pink hats,

00:16:10.220 I reject.

00:16:11.880 I call

00:16:12.640 out and

00:16:13.700 if I think

00:16:14.320 they're serious,

00:16:15.440 I report

00:16:16.100 them.

00:16:17.380 If that

00:16:17.700 was on

00:16:18.820 Twitter and

00:16:19.780 it was

00:16:20.680 somebody on

00:16:22.420 the right,

00:16:23.080 I would

00:16:24.040 notify

00:16:25.440 Twitter.

00:16:25.940 Oh, that

00:16:27.940 hurts your

00:16:28.480 side.

00:16:28.900 No, it

00:16:29.140 doesn't.

00:16:29.660 It helps

00:16:30.460 my side.

00:16:32.780 Because the

00:16:33.540 reason why

00:16:34.000 things failed

00:16:34.700 in the

00:16:35.060 1960s is

00:16:36.360 the violence.

00:16:38.940 Americans,

00:16:39.820 I don't

00:16:40.180 care who

00:16:40.700 you are,

00:16:42.120 but the

00:16:43.380 majority

00:16:44.200 of Americans,

00:16:45.680 and it

00:16:45.960 might be

00:16:46.560 52%,

00:16:48.000 but the

00:16:48.880 majority

00:16:49.560 of Americans

00:16:50.640 do not

00:16:53.240 want to

00:16:53.920 overturn the

00:16:54.980 Constitution

00:16:55.700 and the

00:16:56.300 Bill of

00:16:56.640 Rights,

00:16:57.700 even if

00:16:58.180 they don't

00:16:58.520 even know

00:16:58.960 really what

00:16:59.520 it means.

00:17:01.080 But they

00:17:01.800 certainly do

00:17:03.100 not want to

00:17:03.940 be a part

00:17:04.420 of violence

00:17:05.380 in the

00:17:05.900 streets.

00:17:06.900 They do

00:17:07.300 not want to

00:17:07.940 be a part

00:17:08.460 of killing

00:17:09.180 people.

00:17:10.460 They don't

00:17:11.120 want to be

00:17:11.460 a part of

00:17:11.980 assassinations.

00:17:13.060 Here we are

00:17:13.780 with the same

00:17:14.520 atmosphere of

00:17:15.500 1968.

00:17:16.980 We have been

00:17:17.440 so blessed

00:17:18.460 not to have

00:17:19.720 assassinations,

00:17:20.900 and you

00:17:21.480 have Broadway

00:17:24.100 stars jokingly

00:17:25.680 about it.

00:17:28.940 Anybody

00:17:29.580 who's

00:17:30.000 serious

00:17:30.500 is not

00:17:32.180 joking about

00:17:32.760 that.

00:17:33.920 Anybody who

00:17:34.800 really knows

00:17:35.520 what time

00:17:36.100 we're living

00:17:36.660 in,

00:17:37.900 we're not

00:17:40.500 joking about

00:17:41.120 that.

00:17:42.120 We want

00:17:42.940 no part

00:17:43.580 of that,

00:17:44.560 and that

00:17:45.680 includes many,

00:17:46.760 I believe,

00:17:47.360 Democrats.

00:17:47.940 I could be

00:17:51.040 wrong,

00:17:51.320 but I don't

00:17:53.100 think so.

00:17:54.340 I think there

00:17:55.260 is a different

00:17:56.160 kind of Tea

00:17:57.200 Party coming

00:17:58.380 for the

00:17:59.120 Democrats.

00:18:00.660 I think they

00:18:01.860 are exposing

00:18:02.640 themselves now

00:18:03.900 for who they

00:18:04.440 really are,

00:18:05.680 anti-capitalist

00:18:06.960 communists,

00:18:08.280 people who

00:18:10.120 will come

00:18:11.060 and eat

00:18:11.840 their own

00:18:12.940 because they're

00:18:15.280 already doing

00:18:16.040 it, and

00:18:17.560 the intellectual

00:18:18.400 leaders of

00:18:20.200 the left

00:18:21.260 are beginning

00:18:22.620 to leave

00:18:23.620 and say,

00:18:25.700 I want no

00:18:26.220 part of this.

00:18:27.080 I am more

00:18:27.920 afraid of the

00:18:29.000 left than I

00:18:30.080 am of the

00:18:30.920 right, and I'm

00:18:31.780 really pretty

00:18:32.540 afraid of the

00:18:33.260 right.

00:18:35.080 The wise

00:18:36.280 people have

00:18:37.280 already caught

00:18:38.600 on, and they're

00:18:39.260 getting out.

00:18:39.980 I don't

00:18:42.140 think it

00:18:42.500 will take

00:18:42.940 much longer

00:18:43.660 for the

00:18:44.160 Democrats,

00:18:44.920 the people

00:18:45.620 that are

00:18:45.940 your neighbors

00:18:46.620 in the

00:18:46.960 center of

00:18:47.400 the country,

00:18:48.640 I don't

00:18:49.440 think it's

00:18:49.840 going to

00:18:50.060 take much

00:18:50.580 more for

00:18:52.060 them to

00:18:52.460 say, I

00:18:52.980 can't be a

00:18:53.460 part of

00:18:53.720 this at

00:18:54.040 all.

00:18:55.420 But they

00:18:56.060 have to

00:18:56.820 know that

00:18:57.920 they're not

00:18:58.560 just going

00:18:59.240 to be an

00:18:59.780 orphan.

00:19:01.260 We don't

00:19:01.920 have to

00:19:02.280 agree with

00:19:02.760 each other,

00:19:03.420 but as long

00:19:04.340 as we agree

00:19:05.020 on decency,

00:19:06.240 the Bill

00:19:07.100 of Rights,

00:19:07.700 and the

00:19:07.920 Constitution,

00:19:08.400 we can

00:19:09.580 be friends

00:19:10.140 forever.

00:19:13.040 The best

00:19:13.840 of the

00:19:14.080 Glenn Beck

00:19:14.480 program.

00:19:21.540 So, you

00:19:22.340 know, I

00:19:23.380 worked really

00:19:27.180 a long time

00:19:28.200 on this

00:19:28.500 book, and

00:19:28.820 it's a

00:19:34.500 book that I

00:19:35.100 feel passionately

00:19:36.220 about, and

00:19:38.240 in the

00:19:38.720 same way

00:19:39.320 that I

00:19:39.620 did about

00:19:40.620 common

00:19:41.340 sense, when

00:19:42.660 I wrote

00:19:43.220 that, I

00:19:44.600 felt that I

00:19:45.400 was alone,

00:19:46.720 and I

00:19:48.180 considered

00:19:48.980 just releasing

00:19:50.440 it on the

00:19:51.340 internet as

00:19:53.240 anonymous.

00:19:55.260 And then

00:19:55.800 Simon &

00:19:56.220 Schuster

00:19:56.460 reminded me

00:19:57.040 about contracts

00:19:57.980 and the

00:19:58.580 written word,

00:19:59.540 so I

00:20:00.200 couldn't do

00:20:00.640 that.

00:20:01.500 But I

00:20:03.780 felt as

00:20:04.440 strongly about

00:20:05.620 that.

00:20:05.800 In fact,

00:20:06.280 I went to

00:20:07.020 Simon &

00:20:07.400 Schuster and

00:20:07.820 I said,

00:20:08.140 please don't

00:20:08.600 publish this

00:20:09.120 in hardbound.

00:20:10.540 Please.

00:20:10.920 I want to

00:20:11.520 make this as

00:20:13.240 cheap as

00:20:14.100 possible.

00:20:15.300 I want this

00:20:16.120 to be $8,

00:20:17.540 so people

00:20:18.520 could buy two

00:20:19.340 of them as

00:20:20.060 opposed to

00:20:20.560 one and

00:20:21.380 give it to

00:20:22.160 a friend.

00:20:24.140 So I

00:20:24.840 have been

00:20:25.060 giving it to

00:20:25.520 some friends,

00:20:26.180 and I

00:20:28.580 just got

00:20:29.460 an email

00:20:30.600 back from

00:20:31.460 a guy who

00:20:31.960 shall remain

00:20:32.620 nameless

00:20:33.160 because he

00:20:34.900 lives in a

00:20:35.500 dicey part of

00:20:36.200 the country

00:20:36.640 where he

00:20:37.100 cannot say

00:20:37.900 who he

00:20:38.360 is, but

00:20:39.840 he is,

00:20:40.560 you know who

00:20:40.980 I'm talking

00:20:41.400 about,

00:20:41.800 Stu.

00:20:42.060 He's a

00:20:42.560 brilliant guy.

00:20:44.360 Brilliant guy.

00:20:45.560 And doesn't

00:20:46.200 always agree with

00:20:46.900 me.

00:20:48.080 He said,

00:20:48.920 Glenn, I

00:20:49.740 want you to

00:20:50.140 know I

00:20:50.580 finished the

00:20:51.200 book today.

00:20:52.300 Then I

00:20:53.000 deleted my

00:20:53.720 Twitter account.

00:20:54.600 not that I

00:20:55.840 used it that

00:20:56.460 much, and

00:20:57.500 Facebook.

00:20:59.560 Let me lead

00:21:00.580 with my

00:21:01.040 conclusion and

00:21:02.200 then walk

00:21:02.680 through my

00:21:03.080 notes because

00:21:03.560 I asked him,

00:21:04.100 I said,

00:21:04.460 tell me what

00:21:04.920 you like,

00:21:05.560 what you

00:21:05.800 didn't

00:21:06.040 understand,

00:21:07.440 yada,

00:21:07.700 yada,

00:21:07.960 yada.

00:21:08.740 He said,

00:21:09.560 in the

00:21:09.840 beginning of

00:21:10.300 the book,

00:21:11.380 which is so

00:21:11.920 interesting because

00:21:12.620 I knew it

00:21:13.600 because I

00:21:14.400 hadn't heard

00:21:15.040 from him for

00:21:16.000 a while and

00:21:16.820 I knew,

00:21:17.520 uh-oh,

00:21:18.180 he's having

00:21:19.120 a problem with

00:21:19.680 this.

00:21:20.500 Let me lead

00:21:20.960 with my

00:21:21.220 conclusion and

00:21:21.700 then walk

00:21:21.940 through my

00:21:22.260 notes.

00:21:22.880 In the

00:21:23.120 beginning of

00:21:23.560 the book,

00:21:24.020 I felt like

00:21:24.600 I was just

00:21:25.160 reading three

00:21:25.840 different books

00:21:26.660 in one.

00:21:27.980 But about

00:21:28.700 two-thirds of

00:21:29.600 the way

00:21:29.900 through,

00:21:30.440 I realized,

00:21:31.580 one,

00:21:32.260 you can't

00:21:32.980 ask or

00:21:33.440 expect someone

00:21:34.060 to read

00:21:34.600 three books,

00:21:35.660 and two,

00:21:36.660 all of the

00:21:37.640 information had

00:21:39.120 to be in a

00:21:40.000 single book,

00:21:40.840 and it was

00:21:41.620 actually exactly

00:21:42.780 the right way

00:21:43.720 to do it.

00:21:44.720 For a lot of

00:21:45.600 the book,

00:21:46.100 I felt like I

00:21:46.920 know what

00:21:47.340 you're saying,

00:21:48.120 but I mean,

00:21:48.640 you're not

00:21:49.160 talking to me

00:21:50.000 because I

00:21:50.480 don't have an

00:21:51.040 outrage addiction

00:21:51.840 problem.

00:21:53.180 But at

00:21:53.520 some point,

00:21:54.340 I got the

00:21:54.940 sense of

00:21:55.600 what it

00:21:55.960 must feel

00:21:56.560 like to

00:21:56.980 realize you're

00:21:57.820 in denial

00:21:58.360 and actually

00:21:59.080 have a

00:21:59.480 problem.

00:22:00.440 By the

00:22:01.080 last few

00:22:01.680 chapters,

00:22:02.160 I had a

00:22:02.900 sense that

00:22:03.380 this was

00:22:03.780 exactly the

00:22:04.840 book I

00:22:05.320 needed to

00:22:05.900 read right

00:22:06.720 now.

00:22:07.760 It's been a

00:22:08.960 rough few

00:22:09.640 months, and

00:22:10.520 he goes into

00:22:11.160 some personal

00:22:11.760 problems.

00:22:12.600 One of them

00:22:13.140 was, one of

00:22:14.200 my friends,

00:22:15.040 a buddy of

00:22:15.600 mine, I

00:22:16.100 just found

00:22:16.580 out is now

00:22:17.260 a transhumanist

00:22:18.540 who thinks

00:22:19.100 humans need

00:22:20.040 to be extinct

00:22:21.060 and animals

00:22:22.340 are more

00:22:22.760 important than

00:22:23.360 people and

00:22:24.060 religion is

00:22:24.760 just a cover

00:22:25.280 for racists

00:22:26.080 and rapists.

00:22:27.440 I also feel

00:22:28.560 like I'm

00:22:28.980 golden handcuffed

00:22:30.080 in a job

00:22:30.980 and I want

00:22:32.480 to wake up

00:22:33.200 and leave,

00:22:34.100 but I can't

00:22:34.940 and I have

00:22:35.720 to hide

00:22:36.280 who I really

00:22:37.020 am.

00:22:38.020 I don't

00:22:38.980 drink, but

00:22:40.920 I have to

00:22:41.520 admit, I do

00:22:42.920 like some

00:22:43.460 outrage when I

00:22:44.340 come home

00:22:44.900 after a hard

00:22:45.620 day.

00:22:46.820 Hi, my

00:22:47.640 name is

00:22:48.060 blank, and

00:22:49.460 I'm a

00:22:49.900 rageaholic.

00:22:51.900 By the

00:22:52.560 end of the

00:22:52.920 book, I

00:22:53.880 realized this

00:22:54.920 might be the

00:22:55.580 book you

00:22:56.020 were born to

00:22:56.740 write, even

00:22:57.540 if it's

00:22:57.960 before its

00:22:58.540 time.

00:22:59.440 I hope

00:22:59.880 people read

00:23:00.500 this cover

00:23:01.000 to cover

00:23:01.420 and don't

00:23:01.940 set it down

00:23:02.460 halfway through

00:23:03.240 and not

00:23:03.600 pick it

00:23:03.900 back up.

00:23:04.520 The ending

00:23:05.280 is the

00:23:05.840 most important

00:23:06.780 part, but

00:23:07.860 here's the

00:23:08.400 thread you

00:23:09.340 were running

00:23:09.840 throughout that

00:23:11.380 stood out to

00:23:12.080 me that I

00:23:12.940 just need to

00:23:13.680 sort out.

00:23:14.720 I've been

00:23:15.120 able to see

00:23:15.620 the clouds

00:23:16.040 on the horizon

00:23:16.700 as long as

00:23:17.220 I can

00:23:17.460 remember, and

00:23:18.000 I know

00:23:18.520 whatever is

00:23:20.460 coming is

00:23:21.260 building up

00:23:21.940 to something

00:23:22.620 that's going

00:23:23.020 to be a

00:23:23.440 very rough

00:23:24.120 go.

00:23:25.220 I worry

00:23:25.880 there's a

00:23:26.360 big step

00:23:26.900 missing that

00:23:27.960 would be

00:23:28.560 required to

00:23:29.460 make people

00:23:29.960 understand this

00:23:31.240 book, something

00:23:32.520 similar to

00:23:33.320 rock bottom in

00:23:34.460 AA.

00:23:35.400 I have

00:23:36.560 assumed that

00:23:37.300 it will be

00:23:37.700 civil war or

00:23:38.840 a world war

00:23:39.760 or both.

00:23:41.740 Can we as

00:23:43.220 humans skip

00:23:44.300 over that rock

00:23:45.420 bottom and go

00:23:46.320 right to

00:23:46.760 the healing?

00:23:48.020 That's the

00:23:48.600 part I have

00:23:49.220 to pray on

00:23:49.920 and I still

00:23:50.660 doubt I'll

00:23:51.320 have the

00:23:51.740 answer.

00:23:52.700 I think for

00:23:53.720 your audience

00:23:54.520 the answer

00:23:55.180 is yes,

00:23:56.840 but who

00:23:57.900 else?

00:23:59.360 I don't know

00:24:00.280 if you can be a

00:24:00.860 better person

00:24:01.360 without rock

00:24:01.880 bottom, but we

00:24:04.920 all have different

00:24:05.660 rock bottoms.

00:24:06.240 I have friends

00:24:10.280 who are not

00:24:11.120 going to shed

00:24:12.320 their outrage

00:24:13.060 because it

00:24:13.700 feels good

00:24:14.220 and they

00:24:17.600 like it

00:24:18.180 and they

00:24:19.080 feel that for

00:24:19.700 the first

00:24:20.100 time they're

00:24:22.160 winning and I

00:24:23.760 can't argue

00:24:24.220 with that.

00:24:25.620 You are

00:24:26.360 pushing back,

00:24:28.340 you are

00:24:28.900 opening people's

00:24:29.960 eyes to,

00:24:31.680 you are

00:24:32.280 saying the

00:24:34.480 things that

00:24:35.160 you weren't

00:24:35.760 allowed to

00:24:36.560 say to the

00:24:37.340 mainstream media

00:24:38.400 and you've

00:24:40.840 got them on

00:24:41.440 the ropes.

00:24:42.320 I agree

00:24:43.220 with you.

00:24:45.340 However,

00:24:46.660 that is a

00:24:49.140 short-term

00:24:50.060 high and

00:24:52.660 it does

00:24:53.540 feel good

00:24:54.240 and I

00:24:55.580 understand

00:24:56.140 as an

00:24:57.060 alcoholic

00:24:57.560 that

00:24:58.940 sometimes

00:24:59.440 you're in

00:25:00.100 so much

00:25:00.760 pain

00:25:01.240 that you

00:25:02.660 will pick

00:25:03.300 up the

00:25:03.740 bottle

00:25:04.100 and you

00:25:04.880 will drink

00:25:05.620 and at

00:25:06.120 the beginning

00:25:06.740 it just

00:25:08.220 feels good

00:25:08.980 and you

00:25:09.500 say to

00:25:09.920 yourself

00:25:10.420 I need

00:25:11.560 this.

00:25:12.200 I need

00:25:12.480 this to

00:25:12.820 blow off

00:25:13.320 steam.

00:25:13.880 I need

00:25:14.220 this to

00:25:14.640 be able

00:25:15.000 to cope

00:25:15.500 with the

00:25:15.820 day.

00:25:16.220 It's been

00:25:16.400 a horrible

00:25:17.020 horrible

00:25:17.440 day and

00:25:18.980 I need

00:25:19.540 it and

00:25:19.780 this just

00:25:20.160 makes me

00:25:20.560 feel better.

00:25:21.560 I even

00:25:22.020 got to a

00:25:22.480 point to

00:25:22.820 where I

00:25:23.120 was saying

00:25:23.460 to myself

00:25:23.920 I was a

00:25:24.440 better dad

00:25:25.280 as an

00:25:25.860 alcoholic.

00:25:26.300 I have

00:25:27.540 to drink

00:25:28.080 because it

00:25:29.020 slows me

00:25:29.620 down enough

00:25:30.440 to be able

00:25:31.380 to play

00:25:31.820 with the

00:25:32.100 kids and

00:25:32.600 be with

00:25:32.800 the kids

00:25:33.020 so I'm

00:25:33.460 a better

00:25:33.920 dad.

00:25:35.300 No I

00:25:35.940 really wasn't

00:25:37.160 and for

00:25:37.940 a short

00:25:38.960 period of

00:25:39.460 time maybe

00:25:40.040 it did

00:25:40.640 slow me

00:25:41.220 down enough

00:25:41.980 because I'm

00:25:42.300 riddled

00:25:42.520 with ADD

00:25:43.280 maybe it

00:25:44.180 did slow

00:25:44.660 me down

00:25:45.080 enough to

00:25:45.560 be able

00:25:45.960 to play

00:25:46.320 with the

00:25:46.580 kids but

00:25:47.220 in the

00:25:47.960 long run

00:25:48.600 it made

00:25:49.120 me a

00:25:49.580 horrible

00:25:50.360 dad because

00:25:52.360 all the

00:25:52.740 alcohol did

00:25:53.680 was let

00:25:55.640 me avoid

00:25:56.220 what the

00:25:56.560 real problem

00:25:57.160 was and

00:25:58.780 the real

00:25:59.100 problem is

00:25:59.700 not Donald

00:26:00.180 Trump that

00:26:01.020 is not

00:26:01.760 the problem

00:26:02.640 if Donald

00:26:04.020 Trump was

00:26:04.840 sucked into

00:26:06.100 space suddenly

00:26:07.360 because some

00:26:09.060 Broadway

00:26:09.500 actresses had

00:26:11.380 a portal and

00:26:12.180 they could

00:26:12.520 open up the

00:26:13.980 envelope of

00:26:14.760 space and

00:26:15.340 just suck

00:26:15.960 him out.

00:26:16.660 That wouldn't

00:26:16.920 happen because

00:26:17.420 of Space

00:26:17.880 Force but go

00:26:18.520 ahead.

00:26:18.880 Okay that's

00:26:20.180 probably why he

00:26:21.060 wants Space

00:26:21.700 Force but

00:26:22.320 our problems

00:26:24.760 wouldn't

00:26:26.600 change.

00:26:27.980 They would

00:26:28.560 just move

00:26:29.060 to Mike

00:26:29.420 Pence.

00:26:30.940 So it's

00:26:31.800 not Donald

00:26:32.540 Trump and

00:26:33.980 it's not

00:26:35.280 that they

00:26:37.680 are the

00:26:38.460 Democratic

00:26:39.100 Party.

00:26:40.200 It's not

00:26:41.200 the Democratic

00:26:42.260 Party.

00:26:43.060 The Democratic

00:26:43.940 Party is

00:26:45.880 being consumed

00:26:47.600 because they

00:26:48.840 are playing

00:26:49.360 host to a

00:26:50.860 very dangerous

00:26:51.740 virus and

00:26:53.000 that virus

00:26:53.680 is post

00:26:55.480 modernism.

00:26:57.680 And once

00:26:58.500 you understand

00:26:59.280 that you

00:27:00.040 will understand

00:27:00.680 that it

00:27:02.160 relies on

00:27:03.180 chaos.

00:27:03.820 Do you

00:27:03.980 remember when

00:27:04.540 I said

00:27:05.100 years ago

00:27:06.260 chaos is

00:27:08.280 going to be

00:27:08.780 the operative

00:27:09.380 word?

00:27:10.740 And I

00:27:11.540 remember I

00:27:12.560 remember because

00:27:13.180 I saw the

00:27:13.940 word chaos

00:27:14.880 with the

00:27:16.560 12th the

00:27:17.220 mom.

00:27:18.460 And the

00:27:18.860 ideology of

00:27:20.280 those who

00:27:20.880 are behind

00:27:22.020 the government

00:27:22.740 in Iran is

00:27:24.080 the ideology

00:27:24.800 of the

00:27:25.180 12th the

00:27:25.540 mom.

00:27:25.800 That he

00:27:25.980 will return

00:27:26.580 and he

00:27:27.320 will wash

00:27:27.840 the world

00:27:28.240 in blood.

00:27:29.000 No, I'm

00:27:29.200 sorry.

00:27:29.600 That the

00:27:30.200 world will

00:27:30.660 be washed

00:27:31.140 in blood

00:27:31.600 by his

00:27:32.100 supporters.

00:27:32.920 And when

00:27:33.680 they create

00:27:34.560 enough chaos,

00:27:36.280 that's when

00:27:37.520 the 12th the

00:27:38.140 mom will

00:27:38.880 return.

00:27:39.960 Well, that's

00:27:40.560 another way of

00:27:41.180 saying Armageddon.

00:27:42.680 But they

00:27:43.440 specifically use

00:27:44.460 the word

00:27:44.840 chaos.

00:27:45.780 And then I

00:27:46.820 noticed Russia,

00:27:48.200 the chief

00:27:49.080 advisor to

00:27:49.820 Russia, is

00:27:50.820 a guy whose

00:27:51.360 symbol is the

00:27:52.540 ancient symbol

00:27:53.460 of chaos.

00:27:54.080 And he's

00:27:55.160 trying to

00:27:55.760 destroy the

00:27:56.520 Western way

00:27:57.180 of life through

00:27:58.320 nationalism,

00:27:59.500 through chaos.

00:28:01.960 what was the

00:28:04.280 goal of

00:28:05.520 Russia?

00:28:07.640 Because we're

00:28:08.500 arguing about

00:28:09.420 Donald Trump,

00:28:10.300 we're missing

00:28:10.980 the point.

00:28:12.120 The point was

00:28:13.000 not about getting

00:28:13.980 Donald Trump

00:28:14.680 elected.

00:28:15.500 The point was

00:28:16.700 to cause

00:28:17.500 chaos.

00:28:19.000 It was to

00:28:19.660 pit us against

00:28:20.940 each other and

00:28:22.080 our institutions.

00:28:23.500 To get us to

00:28:25.120 not believe in

00:28:26.780 the government,

00:28:27.580 not believe in

00:28:28.740 the FBI,

00:28:29.940 not believe in

00:28:30.960 the election,

00:28:32.040 not believe

00:28:32.720 that we can

00:28:34.480 hold fair

00:28:35.280 elections,

00:28:36.080 not believe in

00:28:37.140 the Republicans,

00:28:37.980 not believe in

00:28:39.040 the Democrats.

00:28:40.040 You'll notice

00:28:40.740 what they did

00:28:41.540 is they pitted

00:28:42.680 the Democrats

00:28:43.680 against each

00:28:45.040 other.

00:28:46.540 By the only

00:28:48.640 thing they did

00:28:49.160 was expose

00:28:50.260 them for

00:28:52.340 dividing the

00:28:53.840 party in

00:28:54.460 half.

00:28:55.560 Well, what did

00:28:56.300 that do?

00:28:56.900 That caused

00:28:57.500 chaos with

00:28:58.480 inside the

00:28:59.160 party.

00:29:00.220 Putin is

00:29:01.260 applauding.

00:29:03.300 This plan

00:29:03.940 has worked

00:29:04.400 out far

00:29:05.220 better than

00:29:06.260 he could

00:29:06.560 have ever

00:29:07.140 hoped because

00:29:09.300 we've turned

00:29:10.080 on each

00:29:10.560 other.

00:29:12.600 If Lincoln

00:29:14.100 was right,

00:29:15.800 this country

00:29:18.460 will never be

00:29:19.140 destroyed from

00:29:19.940 the outside.

00:29:21.500 It will only

00:29:22.560 be destroyed

00:29:23.200 when we turn

00:29:24.060 on each

00:29:24.840 other in

00:29:26.980 chaos.

00:29:28.380 And when

00:29:29.140 you're afraid

00:29:29.840 because things

00:29:30.600 are chaotic,

00:29:31.820 and when you

00:29:32.800 are afraid

00:29:33.700 because someone

00:29:34.940 is beating

00:29:35.620 up on you,

00:29:37.240 all reason

00:29:38.580 leaves.

00:29:41.140 You go back

00:29:42.320 to your

00:29:42.740 lizard brain.

00:29:45.200 We cannot

00:29:46.560 engage in

00:29:48.520 chaos.

00:29:49.240 We cannot

00:29:49.700 engage in

00:29:50.980 outrage.

00:29:51.580 We must

00:29:53.160 instead

00:29:54.680 re-fortify

00:29:58.460 the fort

00:30:00.040 and the

00:30:00.640 walls around

00:30:01.700 reason.

00:30:04.880 And both

00:30:05.800 sides have

00:30:06.280 to do it.

00:30:07.160 And we

00:30:07.460 have to

00:30:07.720 have

00:30:08.020 reasonable

00:30:09.180 conversations.

00:30:10.680 Somebody

00:30:11.020 said to

00:30:11.480 me last

00:30:12.560 week,

00:30:13.660 Glenn, I

00:30:14.320 think the

00:30:14.560 big difference

00:30:15.060 between us

00:30:15.820 is you

00:30:17.660 believe in

00:30:18.120 reconciliation,

00:30:18.660 and there

00:30:19.380 are people

00:30:19.740 that we

00:30:20.180 cannot

00:30:20.500 reconcile

00:30:20.980 with.

00:30:21.500 And I

00:30:21.700 said,

00:30:22.880 oh, I

00:30:23.220 understand

00:30:24.720 that.

00:30:26.280 I'm not

00:30:26.860 stupid.

00:30:27.720 Martin Luther

00:30:28.060 King did

00:30:28.520 not say,

00:30:29.340 hey, go

00:30:29.860 hug it

00:30:30.300 out at a

00:30:30.780 cross burning.

00:30:32.800 You don't

00:30:33.600 know.

00:30:34.460 They want

00:30:34.840 to kill

00:30:35.220 you.

00:30:36.400 Now, if

00:30:37.200 there is a

00:30:37.820 cross burner

00:30:38.540 who takes

00:30:39.200 off the

00:30:39.560 hood and

00:30:39.860 says, you

00:30:40.180 know what,

00:30:41.160 I see the

00:30:42.580 error of my

00:30:43.140 ways, I

00:30:43.660 can reconcile

00:30:44.120 with you.

00:30:45.020 But if you

00:30:45.360 still want to

00:30:45.820 kill me, if

00:30:46.480 you're still

00:30:46.840 trying to

00:30:47.300 destroy the

00:30:48.040 Bill of

00:30:48.360 Rights and

00:30:48.900 the Constitution,

00:30:49.540 I can't

00:30:50.740 reconcile with

00:30:51.540 you.

00:30:51.660 I can love

00:30:52.080 you, I

00:30:53.320 can despise

00:30:54.020 the things

00:30:54.380 you're doing,

00:30:55.340 and I

00:30:56.200 don't have

00:30:56.640 to hate

00:30:57.040 you, but

00:30:58.480 I'm not

00:30:58.900 going to

00:30:59.120 give you

00:30:59.440 the power

00:30:59.920 over my

00:31:00.500 life to

00:31:01.480 make me

00:31:03.920 outraged.

00:31:04.640 That power

00:31:05.200 belongs to

00:31:05.680 me.

00:31:05.980 You cannot

00:31:06.620 make me

00:31:07.240 outraged.

00:31:07.900 My outrage

00:31:08.600 comes from

00:31:09.440 me.

00:31:11.560 And I'll

00:31:12.420 decide when

00:31:13.740 I'm going to

00:31:14.200 be outraged

00:31:14.840 and how

00:31:15.360 I'm going

00:31:15.880 to react

00:31:16.400 to everything

00:31:16.860 that you're

00:31:17.220 doing.

00:31:18.380 And I

00:31:19.140 know that

00:31:20.840 if we are

00:31:21.220 going to

00:31:21.580 save the

00:31:22.300 Western way

00:31:23.000 of life,

00:31:23.900 then we

00:31:25.740 must go to

00:31:26.580 the principles

00:31:27.360 that the

00:31:27.960 Western way

00:31:28.620 of life

00:31:29.240 was founded

00:31:31.500 on.

00:31:33.000 And that

00:31:33.780 is reason

00:31:34.940 and logic

00:31:36.540 and, yes,

00:31:39.080 the teachings

00:31:39.740 of Jesus

00:31:40.400 Christ.

00:31:42.700 Love one

00:31:43.460 another.

00:31:44.420 Treat them

00:31:45.180 as you

00:31:45.960 want to be

00:31:46.640 treated

00:31:46.920 yourself,

00:31:47.820 even when

00:31:48.980 they slap

00:31:49.620 you across

00:31:50.200 the face.

00:31:51.000 That is

00:31:51.660 not a

00:31:52.580 retreat.

00:31:53.400 You never

00:31:54.200 retreat from

00:31:54.920 your principles.

00:31:57.320 There is

00:31:58.480 a time

00:31:59.060 to fight.

00:32:01.680 But this

00:32:02.520 is not the

00:32:02.940 time,

00:32:03.500 because that

00:32:04.700 is exactly

00:32:05.680 what they

00:32:06.480 need.

00:32:07.480 They need

00:32:08.680 you to

00:32:09.160 respond and

00:32:10.460 be vitriolic,

00:32:12.360 vengeful,

00:32:12.940 spiteful,

00:32:14.220 because that's

00:32:15.940 the way to

00:32:16.520 destroy

00:32:17.020 everything that

00:32:19.640 has taken

00:32:20.060 centuries to

00:32:21.040 build.

00:32:25.320 This is the

00:32:26.380 best of the

00:32:26.900 Glenn Beck

00:32:27.300 program.

00:32:27.820 Glenn Beck

00:32:31.200 is coming

00:32:47.700 live to talk

00:32:48.560 about the

00:32:48.860 right path

00:32:49.280 forward and

00:32:50.140 to make fun

00:32:50.680 of the people

00:32:51.100 standing in the

00:32:51.760 way.

00:32:52.240 He might not

00:32:52.660 be able to

00:32:53.060 save the

00:32:53.360 country,

00:32:53.900 but at least

00:32:54.320 we can all

00:32:54.800 go down

00:32:55.140 laughing.

00:32:55.800 Glenn Beck

00:32:56.320 live the

00:32:57.080 Addicted to

00:32:57.620 Outrage

00:32:58.060 tour on

00:32:59.100 tour this

00:32:59.680 fall.

00:33:01.240 I believe we

00:33:02.060 have Brad

00:33:02.380 Melter on

00:33:03.680 the phone.

00:33:04.800 He is the

00:33:05.260 author of a

00:33:05.900 new children's

00:33:06.800 book that

00:33:07.600 we'll talk

00:33:07.920 about here in

00:33:08.320 a second

00:33:08.620 called I

00:33:09.360 Am Neil

00:33:09.800 Armstrong.

00:33:11.040 But Brad,

00:33:11.980 it's the day

00:33:13.860 after 9-11.

00:33:15.700 Where were

00:33:16.460 you on 9-11?

00:33:17.360 I was in

00:33:19.380 Washington,

00:33:19.920 D.C.

00:33:20.820 My 9-month

00:33:22.120 pregnant wife

00:33:23.220 worked in

00:33:23.880 the U.S.

00:33:24.360 Capitol, and

00:33:25.880 she was

00:33:26.580 driving to

00:33:27.340 the Capitol

00:33:27.860 after the

00:33:28.760 towers were

00:33:29.280 hit.

00:33:30.220 And she

00:33:30.860 said, you

00:33:31.280 know, I

00:33:31.820 wonder if

00:33:32.180 they're going

00:33:32.340 to up

00:33:32.620 security at

00:33:33.660 the Capitol

00:33:34.280 because, and

00:33:35.380 then she

00:33:35.660 stopped on

00:33:36.280 the side of

00:33:36.740 the road, Glenn.

00:33:37.740 She pulled

00:33:38.540 over off on

00:33:39.320 the side and

00:33:39.820 said, wait a

00:33:40.200 minute, the

00:33:40.500 Capitol has

00:33:41.060 terrible, terrible

00:33:42.680 security.

00:33:43.700 I have a bad

00:33:44.600 feeling I'm not

00:33:45.360 going to go into

00:33:45.880 work today.

00:33:46.480 And we

00:33:48.320 all know now,

00:33:49.180 of course, that

00:33:49.880 the Pennsylvania

00:33:50.420 flight was

00:33:51.880 believed to be

00:33:52.440 headed to the

00:33:52.880 Capitol.

00:33:53.760 So those

00:33:54.520 people on that

00:33:55.320 flight, in a

00:33:56.860 different universe,

00:33:57.880 with a twist of

00:33:58.720 fate, it was

00:34:00.560 headed right for

00:34:01.140 my 9-month

00:34:01.660 pregnant wife.

00:34:02.640 And we owe

00:34:03.660 those people

00:34:04.080 forever.

00:34:04.760 And I came

00:34:05.800 outside because

00:34:07.180 our dear friend

00:34:08.240 Michelle Heidenberger,

00:34:09.080 our neighbor who

00:34:09.580 lived truly across

00:34:10.520 the street from

00:34:11.020 us, she was

00:34:13.060 the flight attendant

00:34:13.900 on the Pentagon

00:34:14.520 flight.

00:34:15.720 So needless

00:34:16.420 to say, when

00:34:17.380 we were

00:34:17.620 searching for

00:34:18.040 the 9-11

00:34:18.540 flag, it was

00:34:20.800 one of the

00:34:21.120 most personal

00:34:21.640 searches we've

00:34:22.300 ever undertaken.

00:34:23.520 I have to

00:34:24.240 tell you, one

00:34:25.240 of the most

00:34:25.580 incredible stories

00:34:26.300 I think I've

00:34:26.780 ever heard, I

00:34:27.600 had no idea

00:34:28.580 that your wife

00:34:29.640 was nine

00:34:30.400 months old and

00:34:31.260 pregnant.

00:34:31.760 I don't even

00:34:32.080 know how that

00:34:32.560 happens.

00:34:33.080 It's weird.

00:34:33.800 I was going

00:34:34.320 to say, it's

00:34:34.740 an amazing

00:34:35.180 time.

00:34:37.840 I want to

00:34:38.560 bring up the

00:34:39.040 flag, because

00:34:40.560 the flag, the

00:34:42.180 one that was

00:34:43.040 flown by the

00:34:45.160 firefighters, that

00:34:45.860 famous shot of

00:34:47.180 the firefighters

00:34:47.720 with the flag,

00:34:48.900 that flag went

00:34:50.460 missing quickly.

00:34:52.300 You are the

00:34:53.040 guy who found

00:34:53.940 the flag and

00:34:55.180 returned it to

00:34:57.640 ground zero.

00:34:59.460 And then, if I'm

00:35:01.080 not mistaken, your

00:35:02.360 child was just

00:35:03.680 assigned a

00:35:05.440 homework

00:35:06.540 assignment, right?

00:35:08.660 Can we, this

00:35:10.520 may be the

00:35:12.140 greatest thing

00:35:12.620 that's ever

00:35:12.980 happened to

00:35:13.420 me.

00:35:13.860 So I am

00:35:14.600 leaving for the

00:35:15.840 book tour for

00:35:16.480 I Am Neil

00:35:16.900 Armstrong yesterday.

00:35:18.000 I am an hour

00:35:18.660 away from headed

00:35:19.380 for the plane.

00:35:20.480 My son walks

00:35:21.480 in, my young

00:35:22.120 son walks in and

00:35:22.840 says, Dad, look

00:35:24.160 what our homework

00:35:24.720 assignment is.

00:35:25.460 And it's a

00:35:25.820 homework assignment

00:35:26.600 about the

00:35:27.860 person finding the

00:35:29.160 9-11 flag.

00:35:30.620 And my son

00:35:31.160 proudly says, Dad,

00:35:32.260 they don't mention

00:35:32.800 you in it, they

00:35:33.200 just mention that a

00:35:34.280 TV show found

00:35:35.020 it.

00:35:35.740 And I was

00:35:37.440 like, son, you

00:35:38.420 are going to

00:35:39.080 crush homework

00:35:40.120 tomorrow.

00:35:42.440 And the best

00:35:43.620 part of this is

00:35:45.900 I wake up this

00:35:46.740 morning, I just

00:35:48.260 found this, and

00:35:49.260 it has gone to

00:35:50.680 national news.

00:35:51.380 I put it on my

00:35:51.800 Twitter account.

00:35:52.400 Yahoo just

00:35:52.980 picked it up.

00:35:53.420 It's become a

00:35:53.860 national news

00:35:54.520 story that the

00:35:55.080 guy who found

00:35:55.660 the 9-11 flag

00:35:56.700 that his teacher

00:35:57.780 assigned an

00:35:59.100 assignment on him

00:35:59.780 and she didn't

00:36:00.160 even know.

00:36:00.820 So the funniest

00:36:01.520 part of the whole

00:36:02.100 thing is at 6

00:36:02.860 o'clock this

00:36:03.500 morning, I get an

00:36:04.220 email from the

00:36:04.780 teacher that's

00:36:05.160 saying, I'm

00:36:05.520 so sorry, I

00:36:06.380 didn't know it

00:36:06.800 was you.

00:36:07.260 And I'm like, it's

00:36:07.840 fine.

00:36:08.300 It was so many

00:36:09.100 of us.

00:36:09.800 It was obviously

00:36:10.420 one of the great

00:36:10.920 blessings of my

00:36:11.520 life is to play a

00:36:12.660 small role in its

00:36:13.520 return.

00:36:14.120 And the fact that

00:36:15.180 it leads to one of

00:36:16.620 the greatest, you

00:36:17.260 know, she said, I

00:36:17.900 said, you don't

00:36:18.360 understand, I need

00:36:19.500 to thank you because

00:36:20.220 this comedy bit is

00:36:21.200 going to play

00:36:21.580 forever.

00:36:22.360 Oh, and your

00:36:22.740 son, your son

00:36:24.340 sees you as a

00:36:25.360 hero.

00:36:25.860 And that's

00:36:26.560 fantastic.

00:36:27.640 I mean, anything

00:36:28.140 that will reinforce,

00:36:29.420 you know, my dad

00:36:30.820 is cool, I think

00:36:32.000 is great.

00:36:32.880 That's an

00:36:33.260 impossibility,

00:36:33.980 right?

00:36:34.100 So that's like

00:36:34.900 defying gravity is

00:36:36.000 my dad is cool.

00:36:37.160 So yes, we will

00:36:37.680 take it any day.

00:36:38.560 So did Yahoo

00:36:40.060 know that on

00:36:42.360 9-11 you were

00:36:43.840 married to a

00:36:44.620 nine-month-old who

00:36:45.820 was pregnant?

00:36:47.720 That's the bigger

00:36:48.480 story.

00:36:48.940 It really is.

00:36:49.900 It really is.

00:36:50.780 Yeah.

00:36:51.240 Okay, tell me

00:36:52.020 about the book,

00:36:53.420 Neil Armstrong.

00:36:53.960 The reason why I'm

00:36:54.460 having you on is I

00:36:55.740 love your books in

00:36:56.420 the first place.

00:36:57.000 I love your adult

00:36:58.960 books, but the

00:37:00.080 children books are

00:37:00.940 just fantastic for

00:37:02.660 children.

00:37:03.160 They teach

00:37:03.800 principles and

00:37:05.060 they teach all

00:37:06.180 about heroes.

00:37:08.220 I wanted to have

00:37:09.380 you on because

00:37:10.360 Neil Armstrong

00:37:11.340 been in the news

00:37:12.200 recently.

00:37:13.800 I mean, I

00:37:14.480 really believe,

00:37:15.520 Glenn, that,

00:37:16.220 you know, it is

00:37:16.960 no coincidence that

00:37:18.060 he's in the news.

00:37:18.800 And it's not just

00:37:19.420 because of,

00:37:20.180 obviously, the

00:37:21.220 ridiculousness that

00:37:22.160 the new movie

00:37:22.760 apparently doesn't

00:37:23.860 have him planting

00:37:24.480 the flag.

00:37:25.120 It's not just

00:37:26.120 that I wrote a

00:37:26.700 book and these

00:37:27.660 things happen for

00:37:28.600 a reason.

00:37:29.580 I really believe

00:37:30.540 that in all times

00:37:32.020 of history, you

00:37:32.700 don't get the

00:37:33.260 heroes you want.

00:37:34.380 You get the

00:37:35.000 heroes you need.

00:37:35.840 There's a need

00:37:36.460 out there.

00:37:37.600 And I think a

00:37:38.620 humble person like

00:37:40.360 Neil Armstrong is

00:37:41.800 the hero we need

00:37:42.820 right now.

00:37:43.380 And I wrote the

00:37:44.220 book purposely

00:37:44.900 because I wanted

00:37:47.160 my kids to learn

00:37:47.940 that kind of

00:37:48.500 humility.

00:37:49.140 I mean, this is a

00:37:49.620 children's book.

00:37:50.320 It teaches you

00:37:50.840 about, of course,

00:37:51.560 the space launch.

00:37:52.740 But Neil Armstrong

00:37:53.420 used to never use

00:37:54.420 the word

00:37:54.820 I.

00:37:55.700 He used the

00:37:56.160 word we.

00:37:56.700 We did this.

00:37:57.880 His quote was

00:37:58.760 when they took

00:37:59.160 the Apollo mission,

00:38:00.580 he said,

00:38:00.980 please tell everyone

00:38:01.680 who worked on

00:38:02.260 this that this

00:38:03.240 is their launch.

00:38:04.060 Tell them that

00:38:04.860 they'll be riding

00:38:05.440 with us all the

00:38:06.120 way.

00:38:06.340 And he meant

00:38:06.760 the scientists.

00:38:07.780 He meant the

00:38:08.140 mathematicians.

00:38:09.120 He meant the

00:38:09.980 people who sewed

00:38:10.980 the tailors,

00:38:11.580 who sewed the

00:38:12.260 spacesuit together.

00:38:13.780 Remember when

00:38:14.500 humility was a

00:38:15.460 great American

00:38:16.140 value?

00:38:17.220 I wrote,

00:38:17.840 I am Neil

00:38:18.200 Armstrong because I

00:38:19.400 want my sons to

00:38:20.300 learn that humility.

00:38:21.520 I want my daughter

00:38:22.420 to learn that kind

00:38:23.200 of humility again

00:38:23.780 because we've lost

00:38:24.420 it.

00:38:25.800 Was the outrage

00:38:26.840 over the flag,

00:38:28.220 was that,

00:38:29.500 what did you make

00:38:31.920 of all of that?

00:38:33.080 You know,

00:38:33.460 so here's what I

00:38:34.000 think.

00:38:34.340 I mean,

00:38:34.860 let's be very

00:38:35.540 clear.

00:38:36.200 The movie's not out

00:38:37.100 yet,

00:38:37.380 so no one's seen

00:38:38.140 it.

00:38:38.840 Apparently,

00:38:39.340 I tried,

00:38:39.940 of course,

00:38:40.260 to check it out.

00:38:41.580 Apparently,

00:38:42.080 the flag is

00:38:43.180 featured predominantly,

00:38:44.320 but let's also be

00:38:45.100 clear.

00:38:46.260 Landing on the moon

00:38:47.100 was an American

00:38:48.640 achievement,

00:38:49.580 without question,

00:38:50.880 right?

00:38:51.140 It happened

00:38:51.700 because the

00:38:52.180 president of the

00:38:52.660 United States

00:38:53.140 said,

00:38:53.560 we are going

00:38:54.020 to do this,

00:38:54.600 we're going

00:38:54.800 to do it

00:38:55.220 together,

00:38:55.660 and it was

00:38:56.440 America who

00:38:57.140 got us there.

00:38:57.760 It was a race

00:38:58.540 against the

00:38:59.160 Russians,

00:38:59.680 truly.

00:39:00.800 I think that

00:39:01.700 the big mess-up

00:39:03.320 that they made

00:39:04.100 was simply that,

00:39:05.700 you know,

00:39:06.120 the star of the

00:39:06.820 movie said,

00:39:07.440 oh,

00:39:07.640 it's a human

00:39:08.540 achievement.

00:39:09.080 It's not a human

00:39:09.740 achievement.

00:39:10.360 I mean,

00:39:10.700 certainly humans

00:39:11.340 were responsible.

00:39:11.880 It's an American

00:39:12.480 achievement.

00:39:13.700 But from what I

00:39:14.560 hear,

00:39:15.000 Neil Armstrong's

00:39:15.780 sons said the

00:39:17.560 flags featured

00:39:18.200 predominantly.

00:39:18.780 I'm going to

00:39:19.120 trust his family

00:39:19.900 that if they're

00:39:21.140 happy with it,

00:39:21.660 I'm going to

00:39:21.880 be happy with

00:39:22.360 it.

00:39:22.500 And I tend

00:39:22.960 to not want

00:39:23.540 to get in

00:39:23.840 controversies

00:39:24.460 where no one's

00:39:25.620 seen the movie

00:39:26.020 and we just

00:39:26.400 want to have

00:39:26.760 a controversy

00:39:27.220 because we're

00:39:27.620 having a

00:39:27.940 controversy.

00:39:28.140 That seems

00:39:28.660 antithetical to

00:39:29.800 what Neil Armstrong

00:39:30.500 stands for,

00:39:31.320 which is that

00:39:32.360 be humble and

00:39:33.020 let's be calm

00:39:33.660 and let's

00:39:34.060 hold it together.

00:39:35.500 What did Neil

00:39:35.880 Armstrong do

00:39:36.660 with his life

00:39:40.140 after the moon?

00:39:41.280 I had dinner

00:39:42.760 or I had

00:39:43.780 lunch with

00:39:44.580 Buzz Aldrin

00:39:47.000 and I brought

00:39:48.420 my dad because

00:39:49.260 I thought,

00:39:50.000 how cool is

00:39:51.300 this that my

00:39:51.980 dad can come

00:39:52.880 with me to

00:39:53.240 have lunch

00:39:53.760 with Buzz

00:39:54.260 Aldrin?

00:39:55.340 And we sat

00:39:56.840 there and I

00:39:57.700 have to tell

00:39:58.220 you,

00:39:58.620 it was the

00:39:59.500 saddest,

00:40:00.820 it was the

00:40:02.620 saddest thing

00:40:03.320 I've ever seen

00:40:04.540 because he

00:40:05.880 talked about,

00:40:06.480 you know,

00:40:06.700 his alcoholism

00:40:07.560 and everything

00:40:07.900 else.

00:40:08.960 He got back

00:40:11.360 and he was

00:40:13.380 just a guy

00:40:13.800 who went

00:40:14.160 on tour

00:40:14.660 to try

00:40:15.320 to raise

00:40:15.680 money and

00:40:16.160 awareness for

00:40:16.780 NASA and

00:40:17.620 keep things

00:40:18.240 going.

00:40:19.000 He's obviously

00:40:20.120 really accomplished,

00:40:21.380 very, very

00:40:22.000 bright, but how

00:40:23.600 do you beat

00:40:24.580 going to the

00:40:26.080 moon?

00:40:27.460 And he

00:40:27.840 couldn't let

00:40:29.900 that moment

00:40:30.720 go.

00:40:31.140 I don't know

00:40:31.460 if I could,

00:40:32.500 but he couldn't

00:40:33.280 let that moment

00:40:33.940 go.

00:40:35.000 He's very

00:40:36.040 different than

00:40:36.640 Neil Armstrong.

00:40:37.680 What happened

00:40:38.420 with Neil

00:40:38.860 Armstrong?

00:40:39.880 Yeah,

00:40:40.220 Neil Armstrong

00:40:40.600 was a different

00:40:41.120 guy.

00:40:41.400 You know,

00:40:41.540 they picked

00:40:41.880 Neil Armstrong

00:40:42.340 instead of

00:40:42.940 Buzz Aldrin.

00:40:43.660 They had this

00:40:44.000 moment where

00:40:44.280 they had to

00:40:44.480 pick who's

00:40:44.900 the first

00:40:45.280 one out.

00:40:46.200 That's a

00:40:46.580 choice.

00:40:47.080 It's not

00:40:47.380 just who

00:40:47.680 gets to

00:40:47.980 the door.

00:40:48.740 It was a

00:40:49.400 clearly

00:40:49.980 calculated

00:40:51.060 plan and

00:40:52.380 they picked

00:40:52.860 Neil Armstrong

00:40:53.340 to be the

00:40:53.900 first one as

00:40:54.460 opposed to

00:40:54.880 Buzz Aldrin.

00:40:55.440 Buzz obviously

00:40:56.700 campaigned and

00:40:57.340 wanted to be

00:40:57.780 out there.

00:40:58.620 He was not

00:40:59.160 chosen.

00:40:59.600 They picked

00:40:59.780 Neil Armstrong

00:41:00.100 because of

00:41:00.700 his humility,

00:41:01.880 because he

00:41:02.360 was the guy

00:41:02.820 who wasn't

00:41:03.260 going to put

00:41:03.600 his face on

00:41:04.680 a t-shirt and

00:41:08.420 go back to

00:41:09.040 Ohio and

00:41:10.420 be fine with

00:41:11.260 the achievement.

00:41:12.420 And, you

00:41:12.820 know, I think

00:41:13.740 the best way

00:41:14.520 you can always

00:41:14.880 show someone's

00:41:15.460 character is

00:41:15.940 look at their

00:41:16.300 childhood.

00:41:16.780 Neil Armstrong,

00:41:17.400 when he was

00:41:17.660 eight years old,

00:41:19.040 the thing he

00:41:19.520 wanted to do

00:41:19.940 more than

00:41:20.220 anything else,

00:41:21.160 he wanted to

00:41:21.600 climb this

00:41:22.080 big maple

00:41:22.680 tree in his

00:41:23.160 backyard.

00:41:24.220 And when you

00:41:24.600 climb a tree,

00:41:26.000 you've got to

00:41:26.460 make a plan.

00:41:27.240 It's a puzzle,

00:41:27.820 right?

00:41:27.960 You grab one

00:41:28.520 branch and

00:41:28.960 then you've

00:41:29.240 got to grab

00:41:29.540 this branch.

00:41:30.680 And as he's

00:41:31.420 grabbing one

00:41:32.000 of the dead

00:41:32.420 branches, the

00:41:33.360 branch snaps.

00:41:34.940 And Neil Armstrong

00:41:35.480 falls 15 feet,

00:41:37.460 lands flat on

00:41:38.240 his back, has

00:41:38.860 the wind knocked

00:41:39.400 out of him.

00:41:39.740 His sister

00:41:40.120 comes running

00:41:40.580 over, says,

00:41:41.540 are you okay?

00:41:42.120 She goes and

00:41:42.520 grabs their

00:41:42.920 mother.

00:41:44.020 The most

00:41:44.580 important thing,

00:41:45.760 and this is the

00:41:46.460 opening of I Am

00:41:47.080 Neil Armstrong,

00:41:47.620 the children's

00:41:48.060 book, is this

00:41:48.580 moment.

00:41:49.220 I teach my

00:41:49.740 kids the most

00:41:50.100 important thing

00:41:50.660 that Neil

00:41:50.980 Armstrong does

00:41:51.640 after that

00:41:52.120 moment is he

00:41:53.260 gets back up

00:41:53.860 again.

00:41:54.680 He gets a

00:41:55.240 job mowing

00:41:55.940 grass in a

00:41:56.620 cemetery because

00:41:57.340 he wants to

00:41:57.840 fly.

00:41:58.700 He buys toy

00:41:59.300 planes, saves

00:41:59.940 his money.

00:42:00.740 Then he saves

00:42:01.460 up for a

00:42:01.900 pilot's license.

00:42:02.740 He gets his

00:42:03.040 pilot's license.

00:42:03.840 He's a

00:42:04.080 teenager before he

00:42:05.100 gets his

00:42:05.400 driver's license.

00:42:06.120 He becomes a

00:42:06.640 test pilot, of

00:42:07.340 course, an

00:42:07.660 astronaut.

00:42:08.520 We all today

00:42:09.160 celebrate that

00:42:10.440 giant leap for

00:42:11.180 all mankind

00:42:11.900 that Neil Armstrong

00:42:12.880 took, but we

00:42:14.040 need to teach

00:42:14.700 our kids that

00:42:16.000 you don't get to

00:42:16.640 take the giant

00:42:17.320 leap until you

00:42:18.600 take the

00:42:19.100 thousands of

00:42:19.880 smaller steps

00:42:20.560 before.

00:42:20.960 We've got to

00:42:21.200 teach our kids

00:42:21.680 what hard work

00:42:22.280 really means

00:42:22.800 again.

00:42:23.520 That, to me,

00:42:23.960 is what this

00:42:24.300 children's book

00:42:24.780 stands for.

00:42:25.800 I think it

00:42:26.340 shows, to

00:42:26.920 answer your

00:42:27.320 question, and

00:42:29.140 how Neil

00:42:29.680 Armstrong was able

00:42:30.580 to deal with

00:42:31.100 it.

00:42:31.600 He was built

00:42:32.480 from that

00:42:33.020 solid American

00:42:34.020 value system

00:42:35.020 that let him

00:42:35.900 say, I am

00:42:36.480 not my

00:42:36.900 achievement.

00:42:37.500 I'm just a

00:42:38.080 man.

00:42:39.040 That's why he

00:42:39.720 was fine.

00:42:40.580 Brad Meltzer,

00:42:41.100 thank you so

00:42:41.600 much.

00:42:42.060 I am Neil

00:42:42.720 Armstrong.

00:42:43.240 It's available

00:42:43.680 at bookstores

00:42:44.180 everywhere.

00:42:49.460 You're

00:42:49.860 listening to

00:42:50.460 the best of

00:42:51.060 the Glenn Beck

00:42:51.580 program.

00:43:05.900 Matt Walsh is

00:43:12.640 a great, great

00:43:15.740 writer, and

00:43:17.300 somebody who

00:43:18.160 really sees

00:43:19.460 the world and

00:43:21.000 refuses to go

00:43:22.040 down the path

00:43:22.740 of insanity.

00:43:24.280 He wrote for

00:43:25.240 many years for

00:43:25.840 The Blaze.

00:43:26.360 He's now with

00:43:26.800 The Daily Wire.

00:43:28.020 I've been

00:43:28.400 following his

00:43:29.080 work on what's

00:43:30.160 happening with

00:43:30.580 the Catholic

00:43:30.980 Church because

00:43:31.660 he's Catholic,

00:43:32.640 and I'd like to

00:43:33.720 get somebody's

00:43:34.420 opinion, who

00:43:35.140 doesn't have an

00:43:35.780 axe to grind

00:43:36.500 with religion or

00:43:38.380 the Catholic

00:43:38.800 Church.

00:43:39.340 So, Matt,

00:43:39.900 welcome to the

00:43:40.340 program.

00:43:40.680 How are you?

00:43:42.160 Hey, Glenn.

00:43:42.640 Thanks for having

00:43:43.100 me.

00:43:43.580 So, can you

00:43:45.000 tell me what

00:43:46.240 the hell

00:43:46.800 happened with

00:43:47.940 the Pope

00:43:48.240 yesterday?

00:43:48.740 Well, there's

00:43:54.580 a few things

00:43:55.280 going on, but

00:43:55.960 I think the

00:43:56.740 thing that's

00:43:57.000 caught a lot

00:43:57.260 of people's

00:43:57.540 eyes here in

00:43:58.480 the United

00:43:59.280 States is

00:44:00.700 that he got

00:44:01.700 up and said

00:44:03.040 that Satan is

00:44:04.580 at work in the

00:44:05.340 Church, which I

00:44:06.100 agree with that

00:44:06.920 part of it, but

00:44:08.080 he said that

00:44:08.960 Satan is at

00:44:09.780 work amongst

00:44:10.500 the accusers.

00:44:12.100 Satan is the

00:44:12.540 great accuser,

00:44:13.940 and he is, you

00:44:15.480 know, victimizing

00:44:16.460 the poor

00:44:16.820 bishops, through

00:44:18.320 I guess, he

00:44:19.260 didn't specify

00:44:19.920 any more than

00:44:20.520 that, but I

00:44:21.400 guess he's

00:44:21.840 saying that the

00:44:23.060 people that are

00:44:23.500 accusing the

00:44:24.000 bishops are

00:44:24.540 Satan, and

00:44:25.480 also the

00:44:27.620 faithful Catholics

00:44:28.380 who are demanding

00:44:29.020 answers.

00:44:29.520 I guess we are

00:44:30.040 also in league

00:44:31.180 with Satan.

00:44:31.820 That appears to

00:44:32.440 be what the

00:44:33.020 Pope is

00:44:33.500 insinuating, and

00:44:35.000 I find it

00:44:35.480 absolutely horrific.

00:44:37.880 Tell me a

00:44:38.700 little bit about

00:44:39.280 the scandal in

00:44:41.440 Pennsylvania, because

00:44:42.800 depending on who

00:44:44.320 you're listening

00:44:44.920 to, I

00:44:46.460 I don't know

00:44:47.080 who to believe.

00:44:48.180 You know, you

00:44:48.840 listen to the

00:44:50.580 New York Times,

00:44:51.860 and their spin

00:44:52.680 is, yes, these

00:44:54.040 things happened,

00:44:55.180 but most of

00:44:56.000 them happened a

00:44:56.700 long time ago,

00:44:58.220 and while the

00:45:01.460 Pope was

00:45:02.560 involved a

00:45:03.400 little bit, it's

00:45:04.620 more on the

00:45:05.160 fringes, and

00:45:05.800 this is only

00:45:06.440 being brought

00:45:07.020 up because this

00:45:08.940 is a war between

00:45:09.940 the people who

00:45:11.160 want a more

00:45:11.920 traditional church

00:45:13.700 and the people

00:45:16.020 who agree with

00:45:16.700 Francis.

00:45:18.420 Yeah, it's a

00:45:19.100 very weird thing

00:45:20.140 for, you know,

00:45:22.160 traditional, quote

00:45:23.060 unquote, traditional

00:45:23.600 Catholics like

00:45:24.080 myself.

00:45:24.360 It's a weird

00:45:24.700 thing to see the

00:45:25.280 media all of a

00:45:26.020 sudden circling the

00:45:27.320 wagons around the

00:45:28.140 Vatican.

00:45:28.820 It's just that we've

00:45:29.600 never seen anything

00:45:30.380 like this, because

00:45:31.000 usually they're very

00:45:32.640 eager to blame the

00:45:35.340 Vatican for anything.

00:45:36.060 But, so, in

00:45:37.560 Pennsylvania, you

00:45:39.600 do have, you

00:45:40.340 know, you have

00:45:40.500 the grand jury

00:45:40.980 report from about

00:45:41.960 a month ago, I

00:45:42.480 guess now, which

00:45:43.780 talks about abuses

00:45:45.680 among priests and

00:45:47.700 also cover-ups by

00:45:48.860 bishops, and that

00:45:49.900 dates back, you

00:45:50.480 know, it goes back

00:45:51.080 I think 50 or 60

00:45:52.040 years, and a good

00:45:54.400 percentage of those

00:45:55.920 abuses were, you

00:45:58.380 know, 20 years or

00:46:00.160 more older.

00:46:02.480 And so I guess some

00:46:03.500 apologists are now

00:46:04.480 using that as a

00:46:05.420 reason to say,

00:46:05.840 well, this problem

00:46:07.080 has been contained

00:46:07.860 since then, so

00:46:09.040 this is old news.

00:46:10.600 And maybe they

00:46:11.640 could get away with

00:46:12.880 that, maybe they

00:46:13.540 could get away with

00:46:13.980 that excuse, if not

00:46:14.900 for the fact that

00:46:16.200 there has been this

00:46:16.880 problem in dioceses

00:46:18.180 across the country,

00:46:19.680 and now they're

00:46:20.100 talking about another

00:46:21.000 investigation in New

00:46:22.340 York, another one in

00:46:23.040 New Jersey.

00:46:24.100 And on top of that,

00:46:24.640 you have two other

00:46:25.220 things as well.

00:46:25.920 You've got Cardinal

00:46:26.500 McCarrick, who were

00:46:28.120 the most prominent

00:46:28.780 cardinal in the

00:46:29.980 United States, who

00:46:31.240 has been, you know,

00:46:32.860 all this information

00:46:33.400 is coming out about

00:46:33.960 him now and his

00:46:34.600 abuse, not just of

00:46:35.340 children, but of

00:46:36.280 seminarians, of

00:46:37.060 young men.

00:46:37.940 And then you've

00:46:38.320 got someone in

00:46:39.160 the Vatican, a

00:46:39.800 high-ranking, former

00:46:40.760 high-ranking

00:46:41.240 official, who wrote

00:46:42.440 an 11-page letter

00:46:43.760 indicting the Pope

00:46:45.020 himself and accusing

00:46:45.780 him personally of

00:46:47.140 covering up.

00:46:47.720 So all of these

00:46:48.740 things together just

00:46:49.580 make it impossible to

00:46:50.900 minimize this or to

00:46:52.620 claim that it's all

00:46:53.300 in the past because

00:46:53.900 it's not.

00:46:54.180 This is right now.

00:46:54.860 These are things

00:46:55.220 happening right now.

00:46:55.760 And what about the

00:46:56.320 claim that this

00:46:57.420 cardinal in the 11-page

00:46:58.720 letter, this guy has

00:46:59.960 been against Francis

00:47:00.980 the whole time and is

00:47:01.860 just using this to try

00:47:03.300 to get to Francis?

00:47:05.020 Well, number one,

00:47:05.780 it's irrelevant.

00:47:06.620 That's just a character

00:47:07.720 assassination.

00:47:08.460 Even if it's true that

00:47:09.680 he's got some kind of

00:47:10.820 axe to grind with Pope

00:47:11.760 Francis, that doesn't

00:47:12.760 mean that he's wrong

00:47:13.680 about what he's saying.

00:47:14.520 The question is, are the

00:47:16.320 accusations true or not?

00:47:18.520 And it's very relevant

00:47:19.880 that of all the men

00:47:21.080 accused by Vigano,

00:47:22.300 Archbishop Vigano,

00:47:23.080 of all the men

00:47:24.060 accused by, none of

00:47:24.940 them have actually

00:47:25.420 denied it, not a single

00:47:26.320 one, including the Pope.

00:47:27.360 But secondly, that's

00:47:28.500 actually not true.

00:47:29.260 This Archbishop Vigano

00:47:31.500 has had a long

00:47:32.340 reputation as someone

00:47:33.900 who is a whistleblower,

00:47:35.840 who stands against

00:47:37.180 corruption, you know,

00:47:38.140 is not afraid to root

00:47:39.360 out corruption.

00:47:39.860 That's what he has.

00:47:40.860 That's what he has a

00:47:42.280 reputation for.

00:47:43.620 He has a reputation

00:47:44.120 for trying to undermine

00:47:45.060 the Pope.

00:47:45.580 This is the first time

00:47:46.280 he's ever done this.

00:47:47.440 You know, the Pope has

00:47:48.420 been there for six or

00:47:49.260 seven years.

00:47:49.780 It's the first time

00:47:50.360 Vigano has come out

00:47:51.780 and said anything like

00:47:52.760 this against the Pope.

00:47:53.960 So I just, I think

00:47:54.640 that accusation is

00:47:55.300 just incorrect.

00:47:55.740 So what does the

00:47:56.480 average Catholic do now?

00:47:59.640 What are they thinking?

00:48:02.960 You know, that's a

00:48:03.600 million-dollar question.

00:48:04.560 And there are a lot

00:48:05.360 of Catholics who, you

00:48:06.360 know, I hear from a lot

00:48:06.960 of Catholics, and you

00:48:07.600 talk to a lot of Catholics

00:48:08.240 personally, and many of

00:48:09.680 them are on the edge of

00:48:11.380 or over the edge of

00:48:12.520 despair at this point

00:48:13.500 because they just look

00:48:15.700 at the Church and they

00:48:16.500 think, well, I think

00:48:18.300 for a lot of, especially

00:48:19.060 for a lot of devout

00:48:20.600 Catholics, I'm talking

00:48:21.280 about the ones who

00:48:21.700 really care about their

00:48:22.380 faith and go to church

00:48:23.160 and really try to live

00:48:23.880 according to it.

00:48:24.820 The thing is, it's not

00:48:25.480 easy to live according

00:48:28.100 to the teachings of

00:48:28.920 the Church.

00:48:29.580 A lot is asked of us,

00:48:30.980 and I think rightfully

00:48:31.700 so.

00:48:32.380 But then when we look

00:48:33.200 and, you know, we're

00:48:33.900 trying so hard to live

00:48:34.980 according to these

00:48:35.480 teachings and making

00:48:36.080 all the sacrifices

00:48:36.660 necessary, and then we

00:48:37.860 look and we see that

00:48:38.900 the people running the

00:48:40.000 Church don't apparently

00:48:40.700 even care about these

00:48:41.460 teachings at all, it's

00:48:43.700 very deflating.

00:48:44.580 But what I would say,

00:48:45.780 you know, as a

00:48:46.220 Catholic, you know, I'm

00:48:47.120 not leaving the Church

00:48:47.860 over this.

00:48:48.600 I think either you

00:48:50.280 believe that the

00:48:51.620 Catholic Church is the

00:48:53.240 true faith and you

00:48:54.140 believe that it has a

00:48:54.960 historical claim to

00:48:56.000 being the true Church

00:48:57.300 or not.

00:48:58.300 And if you don't

00:48:59.380 believe that, then I

00:49:00.260 guess you're not

00:49:01.000 Catholic, you shouldn't

00:49:01.480 be Catholic.

00:49:01.900 But if you do believe

00:49:02.580 that, then I think

00:49:03.880 these scandals, as awful

00:49:04.900 as they are, they

00:49:05.540 don't change that,

00:49:07.320 don't change that

00:49:08.080 simple thing.

00:49:08.580 All they mean, and we

00:49:09.560 should keep in mind as

00:49:10.220 Christians, that look, I

00:49:11.540 mean, Jesus Christ

00:49:12.780 chose twelve apostles,

00:49:14.400 one denied them, one

00:49:15.480 betrayed them, only one

00:49:16.640 was there with them at

00:49:17.580 the cross on Calvary.

00:49:19.040 So there's a long

00:49:21.200 precedent of this kind

00:49:22.660 of treachery going all

00:49:24.180 the way back to the

00:49:24.680 very beginning.

00:49:26.500 The Pope, however,

00:49:28.640 being the leader, I

00:49:29.660 mean, when I saw this

00:49:30.820 story break, we were on

00:49:32.780 the air and I said,

00:49:34.000 you know, if I'm the

00:49:35.020 Pope, I get onto the

00:49:36.660 plane today and I hold a

00:49:39.420 press conference in

00:49:40.480 Philadelphia or Pittsburgh

00:49:41.660 and I say, I am here

00:49:43.640 because we take this

00:49:44.840 seriously and the

00:49:46.360 children are the most

00:49:47.680 precious to us.

00:49:48.660 I mean, you want to be

00:49:49.200 Francis, that's what

00:49:50.820 you do, and you hit it

00:49:53.420 straight on.

00:49:54.680 For him to not answer

00:49:58.900 any of the questions

00:50:00.220 and then on top of it

00:50:03.840 to come out later and

00:50:05.280 say, you know, the

00:50:07.040 devil is making people

00:50:08.440 do this is, in my

00:50:11.100 opinion, obscene.

00:50:14.040 It is obscene.

00:50:15.400 I mean, there's, you

00:50:16.820 know, you could use a

00:50:17.400 lot of different words

00:50:17.880 to describe it.

00:50:19.080 I think that the Pope's

00:50:20.260 behavior throughout this

00:50:21.600 entire scandal and

00:50:22.860 apparently going back,

00:50:23.840 you know, through his

00:50:24.460 entire papacy, according

00:50:25.440 to Vigano, his behavior

00:50:26.800 has been cowardly.

00:50:28.520 It's been despicable.

00:50:30.760 I mean, like I said,

00:50:31.700 it's just, and it, for,

00:50:33.400 again, for a devout

00:50:34.100 Catholic to say those

00:50:35.000 kinds of things about

00:50:35.640 the Pope, I mean, I

00:50:36.540 don't say that kind of

00:50:37.140 stuff lightly.

00:50:37.840 I mean, I would say that

00:50:38.700 lightly maybe about a

00:50:39.420 politician, but I don't

00:50:40.720 say it lightly about the

00:50:41.560 Pope because I do have

00:50:43.400 so much obvious respect

00:50:44.980 for the office of the

00:50:46.620 Pope, but because of

00:50:47.920 that, and I see what this

00:50:49.420 man is doing to that

00:50:50.540 office and how, in my

00:50:52.040 opinion, he's acting in

00:50:54.000 ways that are

00:50:55.120 disgraceful.

00:50:56.280 I think we have no

00:50:56.940 choice but, as Catholics,

00:50:58.080 but to stand up and say

00:50:59.200 that.

00:50:59.660 So what does that

00:51:00.280 mean?

00:51:01.920 Is there a chance this

00:51:03.200 Pope is removed from

00:51:05.000 office or leaves office

00:51:07.540 because of this?

00:51:08.780 As far as I know, there's

00:51:10.880 not any way to actually

00:51:12.640 remove a Pope because

00:51:13.920 he's not a president and

00:51:15.100 he can't really be impeached

00:51:16.820 as far as I know.

00:51:20.020 However, I do think that

00:51:21.820 bishops and cardinals and

00:51:23.460 the laity, if they were to

00:51:25.380 stand up in essentially one

00:51:27.020 voice and say there need to

00:51:28.660 be big changes, this Pope has

00:51:30.440 failed us, he needs to step

00:51:32.500 down, I think if that pressure

00:51:34.420 was put on and there were

00:51:37.360 enough people saying that and

00:51:38.420 being consistent in their

00:51:40.000 outcry, I think maybe this

00:51:42.240 Pope could be, let's say,

00:51:43.540 encouraged to step down.

00:51:45.700 But, and I think, I hope

00:51:47.120 that will happen, I think it

00:51:48.060 should.

00:51:48.600 I don't think it will,

00:51:49.580 though, because this Pope has

00:51:51.220 obviously shown what his

00:51:52.100 strategy is going to be, and

00:51:53.060 that's going to be, number

00:51:53.680 one, to ignore the charges

00:51:55.300 that are specifically against

00:51:56.220 him, he said nothing about

00:51:57.120 them, and then number two,

00:51:58.480 to recast the entire thing

00:52:00.060 as, you know, essentially

00:52:02.040 making the bishops into

00:52:03.380 victims.

00:52:04.420 And in order to get past

00:52:05.580 that, what would be needed

00:52:06.760 is, you know, the laity,

00:52:08.420 we need to stay focused on

00:52:09.860 this issue, even as the

00:52:12.280 media forgets about it

00:52:13.900 and disregards it, and as

00:52:14.960 Pope doesn't address it, we

00:52:16.160 would have to stay focused.

00:52:17.460 But unfortunately, in, you

00:52:18.720 know, modern society, it's

00:52:20.140 hard to keep people focused

00:52:21.480 and concentrated on one

00:52:22.460 issue for very long.

00:52:23.640 So I'm afraid that, like, a

00:52:24.900 month from now, nobody's

00:52:25.960 going to be talking about

00:52:26.540 this anymore, and the

00:52:27.900 Pope will have just

00:52:28.440 essentially gotten away

00:52:29.220 with it.

00:52:29.480 That's what I'm afraid is

00:52:30.160 going to happen.

00:52:30.520 Matt, this guy has not

00:52:32.760 been, you know, traditional,

00:52:34.880 and he's, you know, he's

00:52:36.280 done a lot of things that a

00:52:37.960 lot of Catholics or

00:52:38.820 traditionalists would say.

00:52:40.500 Okay, that's really weird.

00:52:42.340 This is in a totally

00:52:43.540 different category.

00:52:44.580 Would you have ever

00:52:45.160 expected this Pope to react

00:52:47.360 this way to a scandal this

00:52:49.660 big?

00:52:51.700 No, I didn't.

00:52:52.800 Although now that I see him

00:52:54.320 acting this way, I see that

00:52:55.340 there are plenty of reasons,

00:52:56.300 there's plenty of precedent

00:52:57.180 for it, because this is

00:52:58.860 actually, there's been this

00:53:00.420 pattern, maybe not with

00:53:02.040 scandals up until now, but

00:53:04.780 where he'll say something

00:53:06.000 or issue some kind of

00:53:07.440 proclamation or write

00:53:09.180 something that's very

00:53:09.920 confusing to conservative

00:53:10.960 Catholics, and we're

00:53:11.620 thinking, wait, is he

00:53:12.300 contradicting Catholic

00:53:13.360 teaching?

00:53:13.680 What's going on here?

00:53:14.840 And then he's asked to

00:53:15.540 clarify, and he just

00:53:16.200 refuses to.

00:53:16.900 He's been doing that for

00:53:17.580 the last six years.

00:53:18.860 So now he's just taking

00:53:19.960 that strategy and applying

00:53:20.960 it to this.

00:53:21.540 But no, I didn't, when

00:53:22.380 these allegations came out

00:53:24.340 against him personally, I

00:53:25.760 really did not, I honestly

00:53:27.480 thought that he was at

00:53:28.700 least say something within

00:53:30.400 the first couple of days.

00:53:31.400 The fact that he said

00:53:32.020 nothing is to me, I mean,

00:53:33.760 it's really shocking to

00:53:34.800 me, and as I said, I find

00:53:36.680 it utterly, completely

00:53:38.500 disgraceful.

00:53:39.120 I mean, for him to take

00:53:40.300 the name of Francis, I

00:53:42.260 don't think this is the

00:53:43.260 way St. Francis would

00:53:44.320 have dealt with it.

00:53:46.400 No, certainly not.

00:53:47.460 And this is, I mean, this

00:53:48.140 is not how any, Pope or

00:53:50.460 not, this is not how any

00:53:51.480 Christian should respond.

00:53:53.700 And I, you know, there

00:53:54.420 are some people that have

00:53:55.000 made excuses for the Pope

00:53:56.040 saying, well, when Jesus

00:53:57.160 was accused, he didn't say

00:53:59.440 anything, you know, when

00:54:00.400 Herod accused, when we

00:54:01.500 were just talking to

00:54:01.960 Herod, Jesus refused to

00:54:03.240 respond.

00:54:03.920 But this is not the same

00:54:04.820 thing.

00:54:05.180 And the problem, when Jesus

00:54:07.100 refused to answer

00:54:08.160 accusations against him,

00:54:09.580 the reason why, in those

00:54:11.220 cases, why he refused, is

00:54:12.880 because the accusations

00:54:13.960 were disingenuous.

00:54:15.420 They were made in bad

00:54:16.200 faith.

00:54:16.880 The people that were

00:54:17.380 saying it didn't really

00:54:18.180 mean it, didn't really

00:54:18.780 care, they were just

00:54:19.460 looking for an excuse to

00:54:20.760 crucify him, and Jesus

00:54:21.480 knew that, so he wasn't

00:54:22.220 going to entertain it or

00:54:23.400 humor it.

00:54:24.120 That's why Jesus remained

00:54:25.120 silent.

00:54:25.460 That's not the case

00:54:26.460 here.

00:54:26.820 People are, there's

00:54:27.740 actually real scandal

00:54:28.840 going on.

00:54:29.720 People are legitimately

00:54:30.580 distressed and in despair

00:54:32.320 over it, and they want

00:54:33.700 some leadership and they

00:54:34.520 want answers.

00:54:35.640 And so for the Pope to

00:54:36.560 look at those people and

00:54:37.740 treat them like we're all

00:54:38.500 a bunch of Herods is, I

00:54:41.220 mean, it's unthinkable.
