00:00:00.000
Welcome to the podcast. Oh, huge show today. We have Bill O'Reilly on and he has a really good
00:00:07.120
insight into what's going on with Donald Trump and the impeachment and how to understand how
00:00:10.740
Trump is dealing with all of this pressure that's being put on him by the media and the left and
00:00:15.620
we'll get into that. We also have a crazy clip from Saturday Night Live. You've seen the stories
00:00:22.360
of kids transitioning. Wait till you see the way Saturday Night Live was talking about this
00:00:28.480
in the not so distant history because it is it is it's an incredible clip to hear in today's world
00:00:35.920
and we will talk about Glenn's solution to sleep problems. He has cracked the code on sleep and he
00:00:44.700
explains each step of it in in a detail that you're not going to want to miss. It's all today on the podcast.
00:00:58.480
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:06.860
You know, it's not every day and it's certainly not with every product we consume that we get
00:01:10.540
the opportunity to know that our money is going entirely to do good. Major companies often donate
00:01:16.700
to a wide variety of causes and some of them less savory than we would want to be involved with.
00:01:21.460
It's largely unavoidable. But when there is another company that is in competition and it is as good,
00:01:28.100
if not better. Well, then we should all take that chance. I mean, that is what we're striving for, right?
00:01:35.540
Well, there's one company out there. It's Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is the only conservative cell phone
00:01:40.560
company. It's run by veterans who believe in the good heart of this country the way you do.
00:01:46.320
That's why I and thousands have made the switch to Patriot Mobile. Special offer for joining. You can
00:01:51.900

patriotmobile.com slash back. That's patriotmobile.com slash back. All right, I want to take you back into
00:02:39.000
the 1980s. This is when Phil Hartman was still alive. This is when Saturday Night Live was still funny and good.
00:02:45.640
uh, and reflected, uh, real comedy. They weren't trying to make any points. They were just taking
00:02:53.340
crazy stuff and showing you, meh, this is crazy, and we're all laughing at this because it's crazy,
00:02:59.760
right? Here it is with Phil Hartman playing a doctor who is delivering children, and he's,
00:03:08.080
he continues to deliver only girls, and the press is there in the hospital as Bill Murray and his wife,
00:03:16.420
what's her name, uh, in this sketch? Victoria Jackson. Jackson, yeah. Uh, that's the, that's the
00:03:22.480
mom. Bill Murray is the father, and they have yet another girl, and this doctor only delivers girls,
00:03:29.960
and so the other voice that you'll hear is the voice of the press. Yeah, the time, it's a time
00:03:35.660
magazine reporter, magazine. Just again, show you how much things have changed. Okay, so here it is,
00:03:40.880
listen to this. I love girls. See, Ted really wants a boy. This is our eighth try. We'll try again. No,
00:03:51.180
no more. Doctor, will this one need that operation? Yes, I'm afraid so. What operation is that, doctor?
00:04:03.300
Well, every now and then, a little girl is born with a penis and testicles,
00:04:12.240
and, of course, they have to be removed and reshaped. It's, it's quite routine. Five of our
00:04:22.100
seven daughters have had this operation. Doctor, what percentage of the babies that you deliver need
00:04:29.440
this operation? Oh, I'd say 48, 49, 50, 51 percent in that area. Doctor, here are the reports you want.
00:04:38.820
Oh, thank you, Louise. Just file them. Now, this is a nurse, and in a dress, clearly a guy with a beard.
00:04:46.680
Can you file, Kevin? Louise had a big date last night. How'd it go?
00:04:52.440
Same old problem. Well, don't worry, Louise. Mr. Wright's out there somewhere. Well, Janet, Ted,
00:05:00.420
I'll be seeing you next week. Okay, thanks, doctor. Goodbye. Nice to meet you. Bye, doctor.
00:05:05.140
Okay, bye-bye. Hey, Ted, buck up. A son is a son till he takes a wife, but a daughter's a daughter
00:05:13.420
all of her life. God bless you and your work, Dr. Hoffman. Come on. Oh, doctor, I got to leave
00:05:20.580
early today. My electrolysis appointment. Well, of course, Louise, anything you want. Thank you,
00:05:27.340
doctor. Well, another little girl. Can you believe it? Dr. Hoffman, can't you see what you're
00:05:33.680
doing here? I mean, the 48 to 51 percent. They're not girls. They're little boys. You have mutilated
00:05:39.760
over 2,000 little boys. You know it. Listen to the music here. No, they weren't boys. They were
00:05:48.240
little girls trapped in little boys' bodies. Holy cow have we changed. Listen to the Twilight Zone
00:05:59.660
kind of spooky, pull-the-face-off kind of music in the background. And the laugh line,
00:06:05.580
the punchline of the joke is they're little boys trapped in little girls' bodies. Or little
00:06:11.280
girls trapped in little boys' bodies. Sorry, yes. And then you pointed it out, mutilated.
00:06:16.060
That's how they referred to it. And the press had their mouth open. This woman, if you were
00:06:21.260
watching on the blaze, you saw that clip, and she had her mouth open the whole time.
00:06:26.180
Mm-hmm. This is today. Except nobody is standing there going, uh, don't you know you're mutilating
00:06:35.600
kids? It is legitimately, you know, our society has turned into a Saturday Night Live sketch.
00:06:42.760
That's where we are. And now Saturday Night Live would never run that sketch. Oh my gosh, no. Of
00:06:49.820
course not. No, they would apologize for that sketch. I would not be surprised. We should put it out and
00:06:54.520
force them to apologize for this. Because you're right. They will apologize. They will apologize.
00:06:58.260
They'll pull it off all the DVDs. They'll make sure it's not on the internet. As soon as this thing
00:07:02.660
gets worded that this is out there, you know they're going to do everything they can to cover it up.
00:07:06.480
We're going to post this today. We want you to post it and demand an apology from NBC.
00:07:12.760
Because they will. They will. They'll apologize. Well, they won't apologize to us because they'll
00:07:19.540
know. But if there was a, somebody's got to come up with, Mitt Romney, come up with some
00:07:25.180
Twitter handle where you, where you are, you're a, you're a gay French man and you want a transgendered
00:07:35.540
Frenchman, woman, them. And you demand an apology. And you demand an apology. Look, I mean,
00:07:41.820
things do change over 30 years, but I mean, it is it because of the pace that we go at with these
00:07:48.820
news cycles, you lose track of how fast these things do change. I mean, that, that now that's
00:07:55.280
30 years ago. I mean, you know, that's a, that's a decent amount of distance, but these things,
00:07:59.540
these were jokes that were made much more recently than that. And that's just a big example because
00:08:03.800
that is the, the, the billboard show for the left to mock culture, right? This is the thing,
00:08:11.440
the left, not us, not the right. The left thought was funny back then. And now we're at the point
00:08:18.080
where if you were to say those things, you'd lose your show. You're canceled. That's, that's a cancel
00:08:22.140
culture moment right there. You're done. If you run that sketch today. No, if Phil Hartman weren't
00:08:29.020
dead, he could lose his job today for doing that 30 years ago. Good point. You're right.
00:08:35.760
You're right. Oh my gosh. That is, that's absolutely incredible. Now I will say it wasn't great
00:08:42.780
supporting evidence that the show was funny at the time because it's not exactly a hilarious sketch,
00:08:47.640
but the point is there. You can see, I mean, it's not funny. It wasn't as funny then. It's hysterical
00:08:56.820
today because that's really what's going on. That wasn't, that wasn't popular. You, it was funny,
00:09:04.820
but it didn't connect to the culture because only a few people were saying something that crazy.
00:09:10.920
Yeah. It was so, yeah, it was, it was too outlandish. It was too outlandish. So, so now you,
00:09:15.720
so now you have it and now it's both tragically sad and hysterical. It would be hysterical if
00:09:23.900
people felt comfortable to laugh, but they don't. You run that same script right now,
00:09:33.320
that same thing. And you put that on Saturday night live. I don't think you would have the
00:09:39.220
crowd laugh. I think you'd have very uncomfortable laughter and you would have and groaning and
00:09:45.780
people like looking around like, is this, what is happening? Oh, if I mean, particularly the
00:09:51.700
mutilated line, if you were to say you're mutilating kids by cutting off their genitals and reshaping
00:09:58.660
them yesterday, right? Well, yesterday on this program, I was talking about genital mutilation.
00:10:02.940
We have such a problem with genital mutilation that happens in the Middle East. Yet this is fine.
00:10:09.940
Yeah. This is genital mutilation. If you called that genital mutilation today,
00:10:15.460
they're not only would they, the whole audience would groan in New York city, but they would also,
00:10:20.440
I bet you'd have three or four people stand up and start screaming and protesting and walking out
00:10:24.220
and rushing the stage. You know what I mean? You'd have the moment where they, you know,
00:10:28.800
let's do this to democratic presidential candidates when they're not quite liberal enough and they go up
00:10:32.700
and they take their microphones and start speeches. And then the, you know, Bernie Sanders just kind
00:10:36.960
of slumps into the background, that whole thing. That would happen on Saturday night live.
00:10:41.820
It's crazy. Okay. All right. So I want to take, I want to take a break because now we have to take
00:10:47.060
you to Dallas because if you thought that story of the father defending the son was crazy,
00:10:54.100
it's about to get more crazy. All right. So I have some questionable news for you. I don't want to
00:11:03.140
make a judgment on this, but I would suggest that we all slow down. Now there is a gag order. The guy
00:11:10.960
was supposed to be on with us yesterday. And it, it was curious to me that this was happening in Dallas
00:11:18.480
Dallas and he was not on Dallas, uh, radio or Dallas, uh, you know, a, a show like ours based in
00:11:28.140
Dallas. Um, and the first thing that I asked Stu and he didn't, I didn't even have to finish the
00:11:35.600
sentence. We both said, why is this on RT? If, if you know anything about RT, that is a Russian
00:11:45.740
news agency. And that was the one that first brought it out. And I thought, why is this not
00:11:52.240
on Dallas or Fox news or Fox news first? And then RT picks it up. How did RT get this story?
00:12:01.860
It's Russian. Okay. So we've been looking into it. We've been trying to get him on the phone.
00:12:09.120
We've been trying to get her on the phone. The attorneys won't come on, uh, either. Now things
00:12:14.860
changed. He was supposed to be on with us today, but apparently things changed because there was a
00:12:19.260
gag order put on yesterday in court. But I want to show you a, a document that one of our producers,
00:12:27.080
actually one of our producers wife, uh, Mike, his wife has been fascinated by this. So Mike's the
00:12:35.480
wife. Modern society is interesting. There's no question. So, um, uh, and so they've been kind of
00:12:43.860
digging into it and digging into it and went in and got the court documents that are available.
00:12:49.880
And, uh, this document is the findings of facts by the court. Okay. This is not the,
00:12:59.960
the charges. These are the things the courts found as findings of facts. So it goes into,
00:13:06.180
they were married on this date, blah, blah, blah. Respondent induced petitioner into marriage by
00:13:11.000
fraud. That was the case. That was her case. This was a fraudulent marriage from the beginning.
00:13:16.180
And these are the findings of fact that led the court to go. Yep. Before the marriage lied to
00:13:23.540
petition, a petitioner about former marriages, lied about former relationships, lied about his
00:13:29.540
education. Respondent misled petitioner about being a professor by having sent a mail sent to him as
00:13:35.820
professor younger, uh, before the marriage lied to the petitioner about being a teacher at the
00:13:41.400
university of North Texas before the marriage respondent lied to petitioner about his
00:13:45.800
service in the Marines, uh, lied about his military experience in the army, uh, lied about his prior
00:13:54.900
income and earnings, uh, lied about his sources of income about his debt lied, uh, uh, failed to
00:14:02.040
disclose extensive student loans. Um, he lied about working for a fortune 500 company lied about his
00:14:09.860
employment, lied about his unemployment, uh, lied about not taking, uh, unemployment compensation,
00:14:17.320
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Uh, then it just, it just keeps going on and on and on. Then it talks
00:14:25.480
about the petitioner and respondent had two children, uh, James Damon Younger and Jude Daniel Younger,
00:14:32.500
boys born May 7th, 2012. They're collectively in this document now known as the boys. Okay. So
00:14:41.600
this couple had two boys. However, the wife had two prior children, Zoe and Sydney. They're called
00:14:51.200
girls in this matter for the court. Um, okay. So then it goes into child support that he was in
00:14:58.140
arrears and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Children respondent engaged in inappropriate and
00:15:04.340
hurtful treatment of the girls. Now, again, these are the, uh, facts and conclusions of the law.
00:15:12.340
Uh, respondent engaged in inappropriate and hurtful treatment of the girls. The girls were good,
00:15:15.980
sweet, hardworking, well-mannered children. Respondent forced the girls to do plank pushups
00:15:20.700
for extended periods of time while reading the house rules until the girls cried. Respondent would
00:15:25.840
lock the girls down in their room and remove all their possessions from their rooms and would not
00:15:30.060
let them participate in family activities. Respondents would put the girls in silent treatment
00:15:35.240
and they could not talk until spoken to for many, many days. Respondent's actions caused harm to the
00:15:42.760
girls. One of the girls developed a suicide plan. The other girl was cutting herself. Based in large,
00:15:48.680
uh, his treatment of the girls, petitioners asked respondent to move out of the residence.
00:15:53.380
Both girls improved after he moved out. The respondent lied to the petitioner about the
00:15:58.680
girls. The girls had a very good, safe, healthy relationship with the boys. Um, respondent
00:16:04.080
failed to co-parent, uh, petitioner made attempts, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Uh, so we
00:16:11.000
now know, and this is, I hate, I hate this, but every Disney movie is accurate, uh, when it comes to the
00:16:20.060
evil stepmother or, you know, they don't ever use the, the evil stepfather. Um, but the, when you bring
00:16:28.460
someone in to your family, it is more likely, uh, than not that those kids will be abused in some way
00:16:37.700
or another. Neglected or abused. The numbers go through the roof on abuse a lot of times. Uh, and
00:16:47.920
it's not always, but a lot of times. So you're saying higher than the normal levels? Yes. Okay. Yes.
00:16:53.540
If, if you have a step parent in, especially a guy with girls, the odds of abuse goes through the roof.
00:17:03.580
Hmm. That's interesting. I've never heard that. Um, but you know, obviously it does create a
00:17:08.720
dynamic of family of that. You know, it's a massive change. I mean, I, you know, I had divorce when I
00:17:13.660
was a young, my parents divorced and it does change a lot of things in your life. Right. I mean,
00:17:18.060
certainly nothing like we're talking about here. Um, but it does get to a point where, you know,
00:17:22.540
you're shaken as a kid and you're trying to figure out, you know, what's going on in the world. Right.
00:17:26.220
So, you know, he said, she said, um, but it is not a clear cut case. And again,
00:17:34.600
we should have said this from the day one, cause we said it to each other. Why is RT the lead on this
00:17:42.700
story? Um, we don't know what's going on, but I urge you to slow down and wait for some more facts on
00:17:52.660
this story. The best of the Glenn Beck program. Hey, it's Glenn. And you're listening to the
00:18:06.140
Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out
00:18:10.100
Pat Gray unleashed. It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts. We go to Bill
00:18:16.140
O'Reilly, who's got a new book out, the United States of Trump. If you really want to understand
00:18:21.020
how Trump arrives at the decisions that he does, you want to know why he's calling people human
00:18:25.700
scum, uh, you can read the book, uh, and you really will have a different insight into, uh,
00:18:32.180
the president of the United States and how he thinks. Welcome to the program, Mr. Bill O'Reilly.
00:18:37.100
I'm going shooting. I'm going to go shooting, but I've never gone before. Maybe you can give me
00:18:43.340
some tips, Beck. Are you serious? You're going shooting? Uh, no. Okay. Thank you for that.
00:18:48.280
Because here you live in Texas. If I went shooting in New York, I would be in the penitentiary.
00:18:54.020
You would put cuffs on me. Right. And I couldn't, I have a water gun. I do.
00:19:00.600
So if anybody tries to attack you in the pool, you can squirt them in the eye. That's good.
00:19:04.600
That's right. Um, actually I call them human scum and they flee. Right. Okay. So let me,
00:19:09.100
let me, uh, let me take you first before I get to the new poll and human scum, let me take you
00:19:13.980
first to, uh, the, uh, the, the, the skiff and all the things that are happening behind closed
00:19:21.940
doors. Bill, I don't mean this is a pejorative, but you are old enough to remember the, uh,
00:19:28.000
impeachment of Clinton and the impeachment of, of, um, Andrew Johnson. I was there. No,
00:19:34.660
I wasn't going to say that. I was going to be nice, but you were there, um, of Nixon. And they had,
00:19:40.020
they had the meetings that were not on, uh, and hearings that were not on camera at the time,
00:19:45.300
but I don't remember it feeling like this. Well, you remember Sam Irvin, uh, for the Nixon
00:19:52.180
situation. Um, he was the folksy North Carolinian who, uh, was a Senator that brought sanity to the
00:19:59.240
whole thing. So we live obviously a different country now. And I say that literally in this
00:20:05.340
United States today, 2019 is not the way it was in the late sixties, early seventies,
00:20:11.740
there is no civility anymore. There's no Sam Irvin. Sam Irvin would be called a bad name now if he
00:20:19.100
were walking around. Um, so Schiff is a guy, he is what I call a political assassin, right? He's not a
00:20:28.260
congressman. He gets elected, but his job is to assassinate people verbally or legally, whatever
00:20:37.440
it is. It's not to be reasonable. It's not to search for the truth. It's not to improve the
00:20:43.160
country. All right. Everyone should know that. So Schiff basically says, look, this is a charade.
00:20:50.280
We, Nancy Pelosi, myself, Nadler, everybody, we know there's not going to be any conviction in the
00:20:55.900
Senate. Oh, we know that. But in conjunction with the New York times, Washington post, NBC and CNN,
00:21:02.760
we're going to hoist a scenario on the American people. And that scenario is that this man,
00:21:10.360
president Trump is quote unquote, not fit to serve. So we're going to get the Russian collusion thing
00:21:18.720
up and running. Oh, well, it didn't work, but two years, two years of smearing Trump every day.
00:21:25.900
Now we got to get something new. So now we got impeachment, abuse of power. I wrote a little
00:21:34.100
mini column in billoreilly.com. It said, if abuse of power is a standard of impeachment,
00:21:39.900
then every single president since Washington could be impeached. And I gave examples, even
00:21:44.920
Abraham Lincoln could have been impeached for suspending habeas corpus. So anyway, you get a
00:21:51.020
situation where it's all about messaging. So Schiff says, we don't really want everybody to hear and
00:21:58.620
see what the impeachment situation is. We don't want that because there really isn't anything.
00:22:04.560
I don't really have a crime here. So what we're going to do is have secret, secret conversations
00:22:10.000
in our committee. And then we'll leak them to the New York Times and Washington Post. I'll put them
00:22:16.940
on page one and there'll be so much damage done that people will either walk away from Trump or
00:22:23.400
he'll implode. That's another thing that people don't talk about. They're trying to put so much
00:22:27.700
pressure on Trump that he's going to implode emotionally because we know that we can't beat
00:22:34.820
Trump in the next election as it stands now. There's not one Democrat in the field that can
00:22:41.020
beat him. So we got to destroy him before we get to election day 2020. And therein lies the answer to
00:22:47.620
your question. So what is the actual motivation? And I know you just talked about, but I don't buy
00:22:56.620
that. If you are on the left, you know that America, 70% of Americans think we're on the verge of
00:23:04.320
civil war. You know, as you know, as an American, that we are in trouble, you know, as an American
00:23:13.660
that half of the country wants him impeached. But the other half will say if you if you impeach
00:23:19.460
this guy, especially with secret testimony and everything else, it's a banana republic. And the
00:23:25.000
other half of the country won't stand. Everything they seem to be doing just seems to be poking people
00:23:31.520
in the eye. The top two reasons that Americans give for civil war, violation of the Second Amendment.
00:23:39.740
They're all over that. They're actually saying we'll come with cops to your house to take your
00:23:45.020
guns. The second one is impeachment for a president that that doesn't look like he should be impeached,
00:23:52.580
or if their secret is secret meetings, etc, etc. They're doing they're riding on both of those.
00:23:58.660
So they know that. Is the is it really just about getting rid of Donald Trump? Or is this
00:24:05.520
a way to destroy us and head us into civil war? You know, I'm actually impressed with that analysis.
00:24:14.640
Beck, well, usually you would say, I don't know. I don't deal with theories. I was going to mock you
00:24:21.980
for saying that I don't agree with you. But I but then as you explained, it's not really a
00:24:27.860
disagreement. You just want more clarity. And I'm going to give it to you in a moment. But I am very
00:24:33.660
impressed with that. Thank you. Because there is another aspect to this. And that aspect is we want
00:24:41.240
to blow this blanking system up in America, because we believe it's run by white supremacists. And we
00:24:50.240
want to blow the whole thing sky high. Nancy Pelosi, does she actually? No, no, no, not her. It's not
00:24:56.800
her. She's she's way behind. This is the New York Times, the pinheads at the academics in the
00:25:04.100
universities. They said, here's what they're saying, Beck, just so you and Stu know, this is behind closed
00:25:10.100
doors. They're going to ever say in public, any country that could elect Donald Trump has to be
00:25:15.700
changed radically and dramatically. So we're going to blow this system up. That's why you've seen the
00:25:22.200
rise of the socialists and the rise of people who are saying things that could never have been said
00:25:27.360
four years ago. Barack Obama would never have said nearly any of this stuff the Democrats are saying.
00:25:33.080
Imagine Barack Obama standing on the stage debating John McCain, looking at the camera going,
00:25:37.420
you know what, John, I want to give free health care to every illegal alien in the country.
00:25:42.820
You imagine him saying that? No, they're introducing a bill in the House today on free housing,
00:25:48.940
free housing for all Americans. You're making my point. Yeah, I know. They want to blow up the system.
00:25:57.960
They want to blow it up because and it happened when Trump got elected. It was so appalled.
00:26:04.760
And this is the New York Times even said it. They even said it. A columnist of theirs said,
00:26:11.920
we're not going to cover this fairly. We're not going to try to find that truth out of anything.
00:26:18.200
We're going to use our power to destroy the man because he's not fit to be president. And that's
00:26:25.340
the greater good. And that has been embraced by 90 percent of the national media. It's way beyond
00:26:33.220
the daily ridiculous blather on cable news. It's way beyond that. It's into sedition. It's into
00:26:42.360
undermining the Constitution. That's where it's all going. And now, I mean, I'm not a paranoid guy.
00:26:49.520
You know me. I don't do a conspiracy theories. I'm basing my stuff on facts. And the way I framed
00:26:58.200
the United States of Trump, the book was, listen, they hate him. Here's what they hate him. It's not
00:27:07.040
the Republican Party. It's him that he could do this, that he could get elected without them.
00:27:15.020
He didn't need the press. He didn't need the Republican Party. He didn't need any of it.
00:27:21.600
He went right to the folks. That's the theme of the book. And that's the danger that they see.
00:27:29.480
And then he justified it by saying the greater good for America is destroying him and the system
00:27:37.900
All right. So thank you very much. That was excellent. Do we need to clap? I'm not sure
00:27:45.080
how this works. Okay. So, so, so let me, let me go here. Yes. What the hell is wrong with the
00:27:52.040
president when he's going on saying never Trumpers are human scum, all this stuff? What is he doing?
00:27:58.480
It's a motion. It's a motion. He says he has no control of his emotion. Very little. You read the
00:28:08.260
book. Is there a chapter where there is obvious control of his emotions? No, but that's a reason
00:28:16.480
not to have the football around. No, but you got to understand the guy feels persecuted. I know.
00:28:24.180
Yeah, I know. Okay. And legitimately so. He's saying that Mitt Romney, to himself,
00:28:29.560
well, probably to his advisor, he's going, Mitt Romney knows this is a charade. He knows this is
00:28:35.060
all bull and he's attacking me anyway. And he's so angry about that kind of a betrayal. He sees it
00:28:41.980
as a betrayal. All right. That he just blurts. He blurts like Stu. He blurts. All right. And does he
00:28:51.460
care about unintended consequences? No, no, he doesn't. He's never, he's never cared about that.
00:28:58.840
Bill, can we, can we bring it back to what you, a point you made earlier? And, you know,
00:29:01.800
look, you wrote the United States of Trump, you know, Trump better than probably anybody in the
00:29:06.100
media, especially from someone who actually will say things that are critical of him. And you brought
00:29:11.760
up the idea that the Democrats were essentially trying to bait him into destroying his own presidency
00:29:17.340
with outbursts of emotion. Do you think that's, is that really possible? What are the chances of
00:29:22.300
them succeeding? I'm worried about Donald Trump. I said that last week with you guys. I'm worried
00:29:27.860
about the man. I mean, he has undergone, I've never seen a human being in the public arena undergo what
00:29:35.700
he has of you. No. The only one close is Abraham Lincoln. And all you need to do is look at a picture
00:29:42.040
of Abraham Lincoln when he, in his first inaugural address and a picture two days or three days before
00:29:48.100
he was assassinated. Yeah. I mean, a period of four years, this man aged 25 years. Yeah. Okay. So
00:29:56.220
that's the kind of pressure that Donald Trump has not been one day, that Donald Trump has not been
00:30:01.380
accused of something. And then not only accused, but joyously accused. All right. There's no respect
00:30:08.300
for the office of the president. Now there's no respect for the process of the executive branch.
00:30:14.640
Everything he does is evil and bad. And I don't think he's got a support system in there because
00:30:22.120
he never has had that can put all this in perspective for him. Well, he also doesn't have a support system
00:30:28.200
around him. Some of the people that he has surrounded himself with are, are leakers. So, I mean,
00:30:34.520
he has got, he's got nothing. He's got nothing except his family. Look, everybody listening to us
00:30:41.640
right now, all the tens of millions of people listening to us right now have had trials in
00:30:46.620
their life. All right. Where they have felt abandoned and almost despaired. If just step back,
00:30:55.940
think about what you went through and then magnify it a thousand times. And that's what Donald Trump is
00:31:01.860
experiencing. The only therapy and relief he has are these rallies. Okay. Where he goes and there's
00:31:09.220
adulation directed to him. All right. Bill, I'm going to take a quick break, but I just, I just want to
00:31:14.620
leave this section on, on this. This is the kind of stuff that usually humbles people and pulls them
00:31:21.060
down to their knees. Uh, because that's your only solace. Uh, and I wonder if that is, is happening
00:31:29.340
at all with this president. Uh, because that is, that's what happened to Abraham Lincoln. That is
00:31:35.560
exactly what happened to Abraham Lincoln. So Bill, there's a couple of things, um, that, uh, that I
00:31:41.100
have found that I find disturbing and I'm going to talk more about them on Monday. Um, but we've got,
00:31:47.140
um, 69% of us households are preparing now for a possible recession. The numbers in California are
00:31:57.060
crazy. The nobody's shopping, nobody's going out to eat. I mean, the five worst cities in America are
00:32:05.020
all in California on their spending. And I love this. The press are saying it's because they're,
00:32:10.000
people are worried about the impeachment. Oh my gosh, shut up. That is not what's happening.
00:32:15.820
But then you also have, uh, a, a poll that has been released. It shows, uh, about 70%, 67% of
00:32:23.620
Americans believe we are on the edge of civil war. Well, I've been saying, you know, for, uh, years
00:32:32.020
that we're in a domestic civil war, a social civil war. I wrote a book way back on it called culture
00:32:37.260
warrior and predicted it. Um, I don't believe we're ever going to get in a violence of a war in this
00:32:42.600
country. I don't think it's going to come to that. We will have in, I predict in the next election
00:32:47.400
cycle, individual acts of violence, you will see fights and things like that outside different
00:32:53.380
rallies. And, uh, that will happen. So emotion has overtaken us as a people rational thought,
00:33:01.660
not really at the forefront. Uh, president Trump partially responsible for that. You have to be
00:33:08.520
honest. All right. Because his reaction to the unfair attacks against him is a very emotional.
00:33:16.420
And so his followers see that and they justify it the same way that I described the attacks on the
00:33:22.820
press. They justify not reporting the truth or seeking the truth by the fact that we have to get
00:33:28.200
that guy out of there. That's the greater good. Well, Trump supporters say the greater good is I'm
00:33:34.200
going to act in a way that is emotional to defend my guy. So you basically have trouble ahead. Um,
00:33:42.760
Americans really don't understand. I, and I'm not being super silly as word of the day, super
00:33:47.760
silly as all right, but they don't really understand the big picture of what's happening here,
00:33:52.440
how the country has been fundamentally damaged by a corrupt media that will not tell you the truth,
00:33:59.180
even if they know it, they don't understand it. Trump does viscerally and he's off the chart,
00:34:07.040
furious. And that's why he's venting, lashing out and the lash out. All right. Exacerbates the social
00:34:14.680
civil war. So let me disagree on one thing and I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but I think we
00:34:20.680
would break it out when that it's not, there's too much to lose Americans, even with all of the
00:34:27.960
turbulence in our country today live well. Um, most of us have unbelievably, uh, unbelievable
00:34:36.460
luxuries that our fathers and mothers and grandparents never dreamed of. We have our
00:34:42.100
machines, we have our big dream TVs, we have our luxury automobiles, we have air conditioning,
00:34:47.220
we have everything. We have a lot to lose. And so we also are, we also are a group of people that
00:34:54.700
don't realize how much we have. Well, when you get, when you act out in a violent way, people then
00:35:00.640
know that you there, you've crossed the line. Okay. So let me give you this scenario. Uh, they
00:35:05.780
impeach the president and, uh, they take him out and half the country knows this is bull crap.
00:35:12.200
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. Uh, if that did happen, then I'd have to revise
00:35:18.980
and, and say, but that will not do it. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:36:06.700
watch. And then I go to bed and I have cracked the code of sleep. I am the happiest guy right now. I'm
00:36:15.900
this, this show is going to run out of episodes and then we'll go back to fighting on. Can we just
00:36:21.520
agree on one thing? Just one show. Can we watch one show together? No, I don't like that one because
00:36:29.920
it's this. I want to watch that. Well, I'll watch this and pretty soon you're just alone in the room, just
00:36:35.020
watching big screen TV and everybody else is on their phones. You're like, what? Stop it right
00:36:39.340
now. That's the way it's designed to be. This is the problem. You think you need to watch television
00:36:42.840
with other people. You need to watch it alone. Just go in a closet, go into a theater room, go into a
00:36:48.000
man cave, go somewhere else where people aren't and then turn on the television. I just want to watch a
00:36:53.600
show with my family. I love hearing my family laugh. I love hearing my wife laugh. She used to laugh so
00:37:00.220
hard at the office and we'd watch the office all the time and she would laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh
00:37:04.560
and then we can't find a show because she's like, oh, that one, that one's that they have a potty
00:37:10.520
mouth. Well, this is why, by the way, that everyone is just rewatching the office over and over and
00:37:16.980
over again. It's like the most popular show in America. Friends is friends. And again, like,
00:37:21.220
friends. But I mean, the office is one of the greatest television shows of all time. And it is one of
00:37:27.360
those things that now is like probably one of the most popular or most valuable media sources
00:37:35.400
because they'll pay anything to keep that on Netflix. Yeah. And you and you're sitting here and
00:37:39.280
like friends, I would have never thought about having my young kids watching friends when friends
00:37:43.380
was on. But society has changed so much. It's like, oh, the paradise of of a G rated show like
00:37:50.600
friends. Really not. No, it's not. But compared to everything else that's being produced.
00:37:55.280
And I don't know why they all think they have to do it. Why does everyone have to put the F word
00:38:02.480
in every show? Why? Why? There's only so many words. Why do you have to show everybody naked,
00:38:08.460
hooking up, having sex? Why? Why? Is it? I mean, well, you know why, right? You're saying why,
00:38:15.380
but you know, I do know. But did they not understand that there are people out there that don't want
00:38:20.120
that we're watching with our families? Is there then there's no value? What shows are you trying
00:38:25.480
to watch that are everybody's having sex with your family? What show is the shows are not having
00:38:30.400
sex with my family? What are you talking about? I mean, what show are you watching? My wife is so
00:38:35.120
it's not. Okay, what is it? What's the police show? New York? Barney Miller? No, no, I don't know.
00:38:46.600
There's a show that we watch every show we watch as soon as somebody says, well, damn it, let's get
00:38:52.860
on that. My wife is like, no, we're not watching this. They're using bad language. How many damn
00:38:58.800
do we need? Oh my gosh. Honey, have you seen? I've had this already. Have you seen everything
00:39:05.160
else on television? If you can't watch this, you can't watch anything. Well, I'm fine with
00:39:11.100
that. Let's go read. Oh, that's why I need to go back and watch something wholesome, something
00:39:14.860
that can't be questioned, like the Cosby show. There's something we have watched the Cosby
00:39:20.100
show and liked it. And we didn't tell him he was a rapist until after the series, which may
00:39:25.680
have been a mistake. I don't know. Because now they, the one rapist they know, they really
00:39:29.320
like. That's exactly right. Rapists are funny, dad. So, I mean, we, but we did, we watched,
00:39:37.040
we watched all the I Love Lucy's. We watched all the, you know, old Disney stuff from the
00:39:41.400
fifties. We watched them all. And you know, now they're 12. Why can't they watch the Sopranos?
00:39:48.680
And you know the answer to this, of course. Yes, I do know the answer, but that's what I feel
00:39:52.400
like every show. The Sopranos used to be like, holy cow. Almost every show is like
00:39:58.860
that. Yeah. I mean, I really do believe we're in the golden age of television. Like
00:40:02.860
with an exception for families. Yeah. The shows are fantastic, but they, they do push the
00:40:08.720
envelope. You know, they don't have to follow any of these rules. Right now they do have
00:40:11.700
the vid angel situation, which I know Pat Gray is a big proponent of where you can all
00:40:15.920
it goes with Netflix and Amazon prime and you can go and you can just set it. So we don't
00:40:20.480
want swears. We don't want sex. I gotta try that. Yeah. He swears by that. He swears
00:40:24.460
by it. I mean, he, he only watches stuff with the vid angel thing turned on all the time,
00:40:28.620
even for him. I gotta try that. Cause Pat, you know, has self-control unlike us. Yeah.
00:40:33.020
I have no self-control. I mean, I have no self-control like, okay. So one Gotham watching
00:40:38.560
Gotham with my son. Okay. I'd like to skip some of the thing and we do, you know, but it's
00:40:44.400
cause it was dark and it had, you know, dark undertones to it. We loved it, loved it until
00:40:51.720
the very last episode, the worst. And I'm not, I'm not spoiling anything. If you are,
00:40:58.220
if you haven't gotten to the last episode from last year, uh, I'm not going to wreck
00:41:02.320
anything. Don't watch it because it wrecks the entire series. Really? Oh, it was, we were
00:41:09.220
pissed. We were so excited for the last, cause it's the setup. The guy's going to become Batman
00:41:15.160
now. And you were like, what, uh, did you have a whole new group of writers come in and
00:41:22.580
write this? You're like, yeah, you know, I wrote the whole series. I'm kind of tired. Uh,
00:41:28.660
Chuck, the janitor, come here. Why don't you write this one? It was horrible. I heard a lot
00:41:34.240
of those complaints about game of Thrones as well, where, where they said the last episode was
00:41:38.680
really bad. Is that not accurate? I don't think so. I mean, it was lots of people who
00:41:43.080
love that series. Yeah. Not as bad as Gotham. I, I, there's no ending to any show series worse
00:41:50.120
than Gotham. None, zero. You couldn't do it. What about the one from the 80s sitcom where
00:41:56.000
they actually in the middle of the sitcom stopped and said, we, sorry guys were canceled
00:42:00.040
and the show ended. What? Do you know that story? It's a real sitcom. I can't remember what
00:42:03.780
the name of it is. I'll look it up, but they were in the middle of a normal episode and
00:42:08.460
then they said, Hey, we got to go. But we, you mean we have to go on vacation? No, we
00:42:12.660
have to go. We're canceled. Goodbye, everybody. It just ended. I kind of like that. They should
00:42:20.400
have done that on game of Thrones. Yeah. Yeah. Which is coming. No, who's coming? No, we got
00:42:25.060
canceled. No, winter's finally here. That's the whole thing. Winter's here. We're done.
00:42:28.480
Temperature drop five degrees. So it's humidity's up. You should see what, uh, when, when winter
00:42:33.320
comes soon, it's, uh, in a thousand years from now, but it could be that in 12 years, we're
00:42:38.840
all dead. Um, anyway, so, um, I found what I think and I, and, and the, the, all of the
00:42:46.900
episodes, I am in love with Ricky Gervais. I am. He's so good. He is. I think the most empathetic
00:42:58.040
actor I have ever seen on television, he wrote the office and starred in the office, the British
00:43:05.000
one. Um, and he did this show called, uh, Derek that I've been watching and the, and there's
00:43:12.040
one character in it in the first season that is an, I mean, a bum alcoholic who is obsessed
00:43:18.820
with sex and he is so over the top. And my wife and I were watching and we're like, why
00:43:25.160
is this guy in this? It's such a great show. Why is he in this? And by the time you get
00:43:32.240
to the second season, you realize it's Ricky Gervais's pattern of the way he writes things.
00:43:38.960
He is looking for redemption. Ricky Gervais, all of his stories, I really think are about
00:43:45.720
redemption. People who have gone way off the road and have found their way back to goodness
00:43:54.580
and kindness and decency. And this show, he plays a 50 year old mentally handicapped kid
00:44:01.600
or guy, and he likes everything. And he is just, he sees the best in everyone. And he lives in this
00:44:12.820
nursing home where he kind of lives and kind of works in this nursing home. And the episode, I think
00:44:20.220
it's, I'll have to look it up, but it's in the second season. I think it's like the third episode
00:44:24.760
or, uh, and I'm telling you, it is the perfect television episode. I've never seen a better
00:44:34.140
episode than that. Okay. The show is called Derek. Derek. Okay. Yeah. And I wouldn't, I wouldn't start
00:44:39.580
here if, you know, if you want to watch it, but if you want to just see one, if I've watched it with
00:44:44.600
my family three times now, three times, we've watched it. It's like 22 minutes and it is so,
00:44:51.180
it makes you feel so good. It's just, you believe in decency. Uh, let me see if I can find it real
00:44:59.620
quick and tell you which episode. That's interesting. Cause he has another show that he's doing too.
00:45:04.640
What's the show? Cause you also recommended this one, Afterlife. Yeah. Afterlife. Yeah. And it's the
00:45:09.020
same thing. And because of watching that, I understand Derek and Derek came out before.
00:45:15.200
Um, but I think that's what his deal is. He's, he is, I think he's really kind. I don't know,
00:45:21.880
but his humor seems kind of rough, but I think he's actually the most empathetic person I've ever
00:45:28.420
seen. He's, you know, in, in incredibly talented guy, obviously. I mean, just the office is a,
00:45:34.560
is a world, you know, it's a lifetime accomplishment. I mean, you're talking about one of the greatest,
00:45:38.240
uh, TV series or episodes of all time. I would put diversity day from the office in that picture.
00:45:43.820
There's several ones you could put in there, but diversity day would be there. The dinner party
00:45:48.220
would have to be in there. Diversity day dinner party. I've never seen diversity day was the
00:45:52.420
second episode of the office. It was the first one they did originally for the U S. So it wasn't
00:45:58.060
like a copy of a UK script. Um, and it's about Michael Scott. You remember decides to do a Chris
00:46:05.800
rock routine? Now it's not okay for a white guy to do the Chris rock. And they do the thing where
00:46:12.840
they put the note cards on each other's forehead with different races and try to, and it's so,
00:46:17.080
such a perfect, uh, description of all the weirdness that goes on with PC. And it's so
00:46:23.780
freaking funny. How much did Ricky Gervais have to do with the writing for the American series?
00:46:28.460
Uh, he didn't write a lot of it, but he was, they consulted pretty closely on it. Um, and they,
00:46:34.200
and you know, a lot of people, a lot of people complain about the first season cause it was the
00:46:38.660
most awkward and most sarcastic and he wasn't a likable figure. He became more likable in later
00:46:45.940
seasons. See, but I think that is what happens. I think that's his pattern. He surrounds himself in
00:46:53.560
Derek. He is this perfect person. Okay. Uh, he's just, he's everything you would love him.
00:47:03.780
And he's just this perfect person. Uh, and he sees the best in everyone, even though he's had a bad
00:47:10.860
life and everything else. And he's just, he's happy. He's just happy. And, uh, he's surrounded by
00:47:18.380
people that are not happy and are less than perfect, but it's awkward at the, towards the
00:47:23.960
beginning. And then you realize he's changing their lives. He's totally changing all of these
00:47:30.000
people. And it's just really great. It is for the, if you ever really, if you're ever like down and
00:47:35.080
you're like, I really want to feel good. Episode six, season two of Derek, episode six, season two,
00:47:42.520
uh, Derek meets the perfect match through his online dating profile. Uh, loss at the nursing
00:47:50.340
home teaches Derek that it's never too late to make amends. It's phenomenal. And look at his
00:47:56.140
acting and the last three minutes, the guy is a world class actor, world class. You love it.
00:48:04.680
All right. Derek, I got to watch that. Derek, Derek, the blaze radio network.
