The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Jeffy Fisher ｜ 8⧸8⧸19

00:00:00.000 welcome to the podcast by the way uh you can tune in to the glenn beck program on tv this

00:00:05.900 last couple of weeks i've been hosting it uh tonight we're doing something pretty cool with a

00:00:09.800 a guy who wrote a book about socialism called socialism sucks a couple of economists they

00:00:14.360 they went around all the socialist countries including north korea by the way i can't wait

00:00:18.320 to ask about that uh and he says they drank their way through the socialist uh countries

00:00:23.940 so we've decided to bring back a power hour we're gonna do power hour talking socialism

00:00:29.280 on the glenn beck program today because glenn's not here so i mean the beer flows is what i is the

00:00:35.460 way i think about it so join uh blaze tv.com slash glenn uh use the promo code glenn and save some

00:00:41.140 money on the podcast today we talked about red flag laws and whether these are a good decision or not

00:00:47.160 uh we kind of are on the side of no but uh that does not seem to decide that the republicans are

00:00:53.260 coming around to it it seems like and democrats have already switched their tune to well you well

00:00:58.220 we're not going to do that because that's not enough you're not going far enough it's already

00:01:01.520 happening of course we also have a fascinating story about a millennial who is at work and has an issue

00:01:09.160 with spelling that blows up into like basically an international incident she cannot believe that

00:01:15.400 the editor of her uh written piece will not let her spell the word hamster the way she wants to spell

00:01:21.420 it she's been spelling that spilling it that way for her whole life right why should you why should 0.99

00:01:26.880 you ever change what she's doing well it's wrong it's not the way you spell the word says you thank

00:01:32.920 you thank you this is essentially the debate the debate that's happening in our workforce uh right

00:01:37.120 now and uh god bless you if you're a boss having to deal with that oh man uh will tucker carlson get

00:01:42.920 fired uh they are trying to get him fired as they always are and now because he's taking a vacation

00:01:48.060 they're taking credit for getting him suspended it's not gonna be on the air anymore yeah it's

00:01:51.320 what they do every time chris cuomo at the town hall uh is as bad as you'd expect to get into that

00:01:57.240 and as you just heard his voice jeff fisher from the uh wonderful podcast chewing the fat you talk

00:02:03.660 about excitement you i mean people are pumped up we'll get into that and a new poll from iowa as well

00:02:08.800 all on today's podcast with pat and stew you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:02:18.660 with pat and stew for glenn uh who will return on monday triple a seven two seven b e c k uh wow there

00:02:34.540 was i mean so much insanity going on i i don't know if it starts with the uh cnn town hall last

00:02:44.340 night or with cory booker or uh there's just so much where do you even where do you even begin

00:02:51.860 i i love how nothing that the republicans even though the republicans are bending over backward

00:02:58.760 right now and and many of them caving in to uh gun control mindset that's not enough nothing's

00:03:07.680 enough nothing's ever enough this is why you don't cave in yeah because it won't be enough it will

00:03:13.000 never be enough uh that we're seeing this now chuck schumer he's warning the gop against settling for 0.51

00:03:20.780 tepid red flag laws so the red flag law thing which is completely controversial to conservatives is a

00:03:26.940 massive move to the left it is a constitutional violation it is a the type of thing that we

00:03:33.340 took calls all day yesterday all day yesterday from people who love donald trump and are like

00:03:37.640 don't cross this line please don't cross this line this is really really bad um i talked to

00:03:43.000 david harris jr uh and david harris jr um is it's a pretty maga guy you know big big trump supporter

00:03:51.220 he's not quite as pro trump as donald trump but he is more pro trump than donald trump jr he's he's

00:03:57.720 in between those two okay david's great i love him but he's like a big trump guy yeah and he said

00:04:03.760 yesterday same thing on his social feeds like don't they said like you know look we love donald trump

00:04:08.920 he's a done a great job don't cross this line it's too big of a deal you know i don't and i think this

00:04:14.480 this comes to the core of like donald trump who's a guy who's he's he's lived in you know in new

00:04:19.740 york as a rich guy behind security like he's in that environment i was born in new york um i grew

00:04:26.820 up uh partially in new york partially in connecticut you know in that region you just it's just not

00:04:32.460 part of your life you don't think about guns all that often and especially if you're donald trump

00:04:36.780 living in the top of a tower like that's the last thing in the world you're concerned about it's not

00:04:40.660 part of your core you don't see the second amendment the same way probably and you know so i don't know

00:04:47.040 that he would understand what a big deal this would be to someone who really cares about the

00:04:50.740 second amendment and we man we heard it like crazy yesterday i mean i think there was one caller

00:04:55.660 yesterday who said you know i really like what he's i understand at least he's trying to address

00:05:00.240 mental health which i think is of course true but already the democrats are saying look that's not

00:05:06.740 enough you can't you can't just give us this this is what's so frustrating about being

00:05:10.860 a conservative and having the only real representative for you being the republican party

00:05:17.180 because they are constantly folding on these things they're terrible and they just do stuff

00:05:23.060 like well you know what uh the democrats want 700 billion dollars for this project we only want to 0.68

00:05:28.460 give them 400 billion and you're like well yeah but what about the one what about the option of not

00:05:33.580 doing it you know and there's no one who represents that side of these issues what about the option of

00:05:40.420 spending less yeah that doesn't exist doesn't exist it's impossible it's impossible actually i have

00:05:45.460 a republican uh congressman from ohio michael turner who's actually talking about not just

00:05:50.660 not just the red flag laws but also a limit on uh the end of the magazine limits yep and a ban

00:05:58.980 on assault weapons yep assault assault yes because they assault people that one is really fascinating to me

00:06:06.400 because obviously you know every weapon is an assault weapon this is a breaking breaking news for you

00:06:15.440 you can assault people with any weapon and i don't mean just guns no you could have an assault knife

00:06:19.860 there's a reason i could assault you with a knife yeah there's a reason why we own 10 times per capita

00:06:24.520 the amount of guns as russia and they have much double the murder rate because people are able to kill 0.92

00:06:29.360 other people with other things uh pakistan same thing pakistan has almost no gun violence problem

00:06:34.560 you want to move there let me get you on zillow i could jam a spoon in your eye right now and that 1.00

00:06:39.120 might be an assault right it's like i mean does anyone remember paris right right like the or was

00:06:45.580 i mean uh nice i'm thinking of when they they went down uh you know in the middle you run over people

00:06:50.620 with a street festival in your truck 87 people it seems there was a lot it was a lot it was a lot

00:06:57.260 does it seem does any are any of those people like oh man at least i wasn't shot

00:07:00.700 no no that's not the way that works you know you can do these things there's a big stabbing

00:07:06.680 yesterday right four people were killed oh yeah stabbing yesterday yeah uh and again that would

00:07:11.540 be that would qualify on the mass shooting list if it happened to be done with a gun but i guess

00:07:18.120 because it's not with a gun and there's no political gain there no one cares well the people

00:07:22.340 who got you know who are victims of these crimes still care you know the people who are in chicago who

00:07:27.440 do get shot in gun violence but not the type of gun violence that moves you the needle on your poles

00:07:32.800 those people care which is why i strongly believe after if they got some kind of ban on let's say

00:07:43.160 rifles let's say you ban assault rifles um then they'd have to go for handguns as well because the

00:07:51.700 carnage will continue the carnage like in baltimore and chicago is not going to be abated by

00:07:57.840 banning rifles you're going to have to and they'll come after they'll come after handguns as well

00:08:03.920 it's just the beginning you open up this door they're going to keep walking through it

00:08:08.360 it's just it it would never end uh and that's why we just can't give in

00:08:14.320 888-727-BECK more coming up in one minute this is the glenn beck program

00:08:21.920 it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program 888-727-BECK it's gotten so the

00:08:32.840 media people in the media don't even don't even care they hate trump so much they don't even care

00:08:39.920 if what they're saying about him is remotely accurate like nicole wallace who was uh who

00:08:46.880 claimed that uh trump has been talking about exterminating latinos her guest is like yeah 0.78

00:08:54.560 uh no no no he's not been talking that is something that the president has never never done well a lot

00:09:02.360 of times this stuff just is like this game of telephone right like maybe she happened to hear

00:09:06.000 she happened to tune into tv when beto o'rourke was saying that donald trump was saying the same

00:09:10.900 rhetoric as the third reich right and maybe she heard that and thought well that's extermination

00:09:15.700 i guess i can now say this like they all just kind of pass it on just a little bit and then when she's

00:09:21.160 called out on it uh her only her only statement is she tweets i misspoke about trump calling for an

00:09:27.960 extermination of latinos my mistake was unintentional and i'm sorry con trump's constant assault on people of

00:09:34.740 color and his use of the word invasion to describe the flow of immigrants is intentional and constant

00:09:40.280 so it's still his fault it's still his fault obviously it's not her mistake really it's just

00:09:45.720 it's that he's so awful you know what i found really i was thinking about this yesterday and

00:09:52.060 it is remarkable where these people go we've talked about this at the beginning of the administration

00:09:59.060 pat if the democrats had instead of launching a massive march and rally on literally the day

00:10:07.280 after donald trump's inauguration saying how horrible of a president and person he was when

00:10:11.900 he hadn't even done anything if they had approached this at going to him and saying like look we we want

00:10:18.140 a bunch of stuff we think you're you know we think you're the type of guy that can get a deal done

00:10:23.860 and we're gonna work with you and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah trump would have gone along with

00:10:28.580 i think a lot of these things because he you know i don't think he i think he is much more in this

00:10:34.620 in the fight of this and when they attack him he's got to attack back i think he i mean we saw it with

00:10:39.560 criminal justice reform he's willing to work with the other side he is i mean he's that's been his

00:10:43.500 whole life you know he so i don't think that's a crazy a crazy thing but but the other thing the

00:10:50.700 lesson that and i'm by the way i'm glad they didn't do that because god only knows what policies

00:10:55.200 would have been passed but the they hate him too much to do it right even if it was to their benefit

00:11:00.380 they just hate him too much to do it yeah and i think that's true and it's it's fascinating to see

00:11:04.900 what's going on now where they are now calling every person who supports donald trump a racist yeah go

00:11:13.020 back to the 2016 election have they learned the lesson of the basket of deplorables from hillary

00:11:19.320 clinton you know hillary came out and you know you go back and and that became sort of a thing

00:11:24.580 right like the deplore oh we're the deplorables we're deplorables go back and look at hillary 0.99

00:11:28.720 clinton's statement you can you can you can argue with certain parts of it but generally speaking

00:11:35.140 it's true and it's true about every candidate right every single candidate has supporters who are

00:11:41.320 awful and donald trump is no exception to that neither is hillary clinton by the way um but every

00:11:47.220 candidate has you know she said it as a basket of deplorables there's some people who who are who

00:11:53.640 are uh who are um uh supporters of a candidate who are doing it for really bad reasons whether it's

00:11:59.760 racism whether it's sexism whether it's socialism whether it's extremism whatever the thing is

00:12:05.220 everybody has that level of support in some way and her point was not she was not that point was not

00:12:13.680 about talking about how bad donald trump supporters are if you go back and read the actual text of it

00:12:19.020 what she's saying is yes there are some supporters she's talking to a democratic audience and saying

00:12:23.940 yeah you know i know you guys are always talking about the really bad people the deplorables but

00:12:27.680 they also have a lot of people who can be won over to the cause they're not they don't they don't like

00:12:32.600 this stuff they don't like donald trump's evil rhetoric blah blah blah right like i'm not saying i agree

00:12:36.900 with her point but generally speaking what she's saying is there's a separation there's good trump

00:12:40.900 supporters and bad trump supporters and we have to acknowledge there are good trump supporters

00:12:45.040 so hillary clinton is making the exact opposite point in 2016 that the democrats are making now

00:12:51.440 the democrats are saying all of the trump supporters are bad they've actually gone the other way they

00:12:56.540 haven't learned the lesson that calling half of his supporters deplorables was a was a bad idea

00:13:00.680 their lesson is we should have called them all deplorables yeah they've actually gone the other way

00:13:06.660 completely yeah and this is something that i think arguably lost them the election and hopefully

00:13:12.500 we'll do so again and i mean i this is how bad they are at this yeah right like they have not learned

00:13:18.100 a single lesson from the last two years and you know obviously because they're supporting socialism

00:13:25.200 this is a good thing for i think the constitution and the american people in general but it's just

00:13:31.960 fascinating to watch a party do this to itself like donald trump has got a 42 43 approval rating

00:13:37.600 this should not be an unwinnable election but they're trying to make it into one it really is

00:13:42.240 like they've just they're like well what if we raise the mountain even higher for us to climb

00:13:46.160 and we should be thankful for it yeah that at least yeah sure more in 60 seconds 0.91

00:13:51.120 hi it's glenn if you're a subscriber to the podcast can you do us a favor and rate us on itunes

00:13:58.760 if you're not a subscriber become one today and listen on your own time you can subscribe on itunes

00:14:04.460 thanks this is the best of the glenn beck program

00:14:10.260 point of personal privilege he hers yes go ahead thank you uh pat and stew for glenn on the glenn 0.60

00:14:20.360 beck program now apparently you've got a story that's even more pathetic than the people we saw 0.74

00:14:25.540 at the socialist convention i think it's at least on that on that level really and it's really 0.78

00:14:32.760 telling because you know look it's a socialist convention i don't maybe you would expect it to

00:14:37.280 be a little nuts like that honestly i was surprised i didn't i didn't expect it i mean i just expected

00:14:43.480 socialism i didn't expect the weenie ism that came out of it right because there is that that level

00:14:49.000 of i need a cry space a crying cave i need a safe space and i i feel like we hear those stories from

00:14:57.060 time to time and usually that's college stuff it's usually college stuff and it's usually i don't know

00:15:02.180 for some reason i don't i don't want to say i dismiss it because it is something real that's

00:15:07.680 happening and it's so bizarre and extreme to me yeah on the other hand though it's so laughable

00:15:13.400 and i think it's one of those things that even when you like if you tell a story like that

00:15:17.300 you know i have plenty of friends who vote democrat if i tell that story to them they're

00:15:21.060 going to laugh at it too yes right like and they're going to be embarrassed by them they're

00:15:24.280 going to be embarrassed by them if they you know that is very it's so crazy like you know it's not

00:15:30.260 just a democratic voter it's not just a democratic socialist voter it's not a green party voter it's

00:15:35.380 a socialist like you're in the democratic socialist party so i guess it's it's alexandria

00:15:39.980 cazio-cortez level craziness she's a card-carrying member right but it's not your average democratic 1.00

00:15:46.120 voter right like that is not who people they don't operate like that i don't think so i don't think

00:15:51.180 so yeah i hope we're not quite there yet they're super liberal they want higher taxes they're wrong

00:15:55.400 on all these issues but they're not saying hey wait guys don't make noise you're you know what was

00:16:00.700 it you're uh hurting my focus yes and uh don't don't use non-gendered pronouns really sensitive to

00:16:07.340 sound and smell and sight and taste right stop all of my senses right now and apparently everything

00:16:13.380 else yes so there's a story um by a uh she told the story on twitter and it's i i think one of the

00:16:22.340 more fascinating insights into what our future looks like in america and what if you happen to

00:16:29.700 be a boss who is employing people from this generation and trying to figure out how the hell 0.66

00:16:36.360 to do it tell me this story does not relate to you we'll get into it in 60 seconds

00:16:41.800 this is the glenn beck program

00:16:46.920 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program all right all right you're ready for this i'm ready

00:16:55.260 for it yeah here's the story here's hopefully a short synopsis of something that happened this week

00:17:00.560 that i still don't understand in office space near a client a young woman was meeting with her boss

00:17:06.900 she was by my estimation in her late 20s the boss also a woman was giving her feedback and reviewing 0.65

00:17:14.900 edits she had made on something that this young woman wrote they had been speaking in low tones

00:17:20.100 but their volume got louder toward the end of the conversation because the young woman was getting

00:17:23.740 agitated about a particular edit so she wrote some article she's getting edits from her boss

00:17:29.040 she doesn't like this one edit this happens all the time uh in in this world the particular edit 0.92

00:17:35.440 was correcting the spelling of hamster to hamster now i'm gonna give you to read the spelling she

00:17:43.060 spelled it the employee spelled it h-a-m-p-s-t-e-r now that is not what the word is obviously it's

00:17:50.680 hamster h-a-m-s-t-e-r yes okay okay she spelled it hamster like a hamper where you throw your clothes

00:17:58.100 yeah right but hamster meaning the animal there's no p in there okay pretty basic right

00:18:04.100 so she spelled it wrong and somebody corrected her right she's hacked off about it she had used the

00:18:09.640 phrase like spinning in a hamster wheel in the draft uh and it was like they were talking about

00:18:16.880 it being like an op-ed or a speech or something so spinning in a hamster wheel h-a-m-p-s-t-e-r 0.92

00:18:22.160 so the boss is saying hey we got to change that to h-a-m-s-t-e-r the young woman kept saying i don't

00:18:27.840 know why you corrected this because i spell it with a p in it and the boss said calmly but that's not how

00:18:35.020 the word is spelled there is no p in hamster and the young woman replied but you don't know that

00:18:44.360 i learned to spell it with a p and that's how i spell it the boss remaining very calm and professional

00:18:52.820 let's go to dictionary.com and look it up together now again all right as as the writer points out

00:19:01.040 this is a woman in her late 20s not a fifth grader the young woman insists she doesn't need to look it 1.00

00:19:08.200 up because it's fine to spell it with a p because that's how she wanted to spell it

00:19:12.900 okay the boss says let's look over the rest of this piece so i can expect explain the rest of my

00:19:21.000 edits they do and i can see the young woman is fighting back tears the boss is calm cool and

00:19:28.700 handles this with professionalism and empathy the boss says i know edits can be difficult to go over

00:19:34.000 sometimes especially when you're working on new kinds of things as you grow in your career

00:19:37.720 but it's a necessary process and makes us all better at what we do can't handle it better than

00:19:42.760 that right you can't handle this craziness better than that yeah the boss gets up from the table and

00:19:46.800 goes to her office and the young woman can barely hold it together she moves to another table 1.00

00:19:52.340 is there a crying room in this workspace i hope there is apparently there was not oh no because she 0.95

00:20:00.060 goes to another table in the common workspace area drops all her stuff loudly on the tabletop and starts 1.00

00:20:07.580 texting a minute later her phone rings it was her mom so she called her mom she had well she had

00:20:18.400 texted her mom to call her because it was urgent and i'm sure her mother mother might have thought

00:20:24.660 you know i don't know she's in the er or something she then in the common workspace puts her mom on 0.98

00:20:31.740 speaker phone okay she bursts into tears and and wants her mom to call her boss and 1.00

00:20:40.500 now i'm guessing if i i don't know this story i'm guessing mom will do that because this is obviously

00:20:48.900 how she's been brought up how else could she be this way right okay yeah she bursts into tears wants

00:20:53.960 her mom to call her boss and tell her not to be mean about telling her how to spell words like 1.00

00:20:59.080 hamster oh my gosh the mother tells her that her boss is an idiot this is again on speaker phone 1.00

00:21:06.060 and she doesn't have to listen to her wow she should go to the boss's boss to file a complaint 1.00

00:21:11.440 about not allowing creativity in her writing

00:21:14.460 why don't you just spell every word the way you want then why not how would anyone communicate with

00:21:23.560 each other if you could just spell words however you want the young woman kept saying quote 0.70

00:21:29.020 unbelievable i thought what i wrote was perfect and she just made all these changes and then had

00:21:37.160 the nerve to tell me i was spelling words wrong when i know they are right because that is how i have

00:21:42.680 always spelled them now that is not the way you figure out whether something is right or not

00:21:49.840 this is that world right where like every fact is is morally relative right like there's some

00:21:56.200 relative thing well i think it's right so therefore it's right i have my truth right it's that sort of

00:22:02.400 rationale yep um she says she then went on still on speakerphone to tell her mom that i'm very great

00:22:11.000 and often by the way there's no embarrassment factor here i know everybody's hearing this you're in a

00:22:17.020 common workspace on speakerphone i always have those those thoughts when you're like in an airport

00:22:20.940 and someone's like in a fight on their speakerphone like sitting on a bench around like what person

00:22:26.420 thinks that's the right thing to do it's incredible like you go to the corner if you have to have this

00:22:31.100 conversation right now and you do it quietly and calmly you don't put it on speakerphone and yell

00:22:36.480 swears at the person but yet that happens like every other time i'm at an airport um the woman then uh the

00:22:42.320 employee uh then went on still on speakerphone to tell her mom i'm very great and office inappropriate

00:22:48.100 detail um about how hungover she was and what she did with her friend and when some guys the night

00:22:55.320 before so she's saying how wonderful she is but then also talking about how she's hung over at work

00:23:01.860 on speakerphone in public and then uh her mom laughed and laughed the colleagues in and around the

00:23:09.360 workplace kept looking at one another some even put earbuds and headphones on it appeared as though

00:23:14.120 this was a regular thing with her she ended the conversation asking her mom how she should bring

00:23:19.780 this up with a boss's boss i mean this is a quote i mean i always spell hamster with a p she has no

00:23:26.220 right to criticize me she walked into the office kitchen for the rest of the call so i don't know

00:23:34.740 what happened next i always get five when i add up two plus two they got no right to correct me on

00:23:40.180 that isn't that incredible where does that end there's no place that ends right when there's

00:23:46.580 total chaos in society and we've talked about how many times have we talked about the idea that you

00:23:51.240 have to be able to have a foundation in truth we all have to be able to agree on some common

00:23:56.280 principles for a country to operate yes and like the spelling of words should be that should be one of

00:24:01.240 them that's a no-brainer right there yeah and like glenn says all the time the constitution the bill of

00:24:05.940 rights those should be a no-brainer we should all agree on that okay that's our foundation it's literally

00:24:10.800 the foundation of this country and then facts such as i don't know spelling and math should kind of be

00:24:19.420 in concrete they really should you can't just spell it that way because you always have been wrong

00:24:27.740 spelling it that way and you're gonna keep doing it it is really incredible i i and of course you're

00:24:34.780 so what what came of this do we know the outcome kind of goes into a uh you know look i don't know

00:24:39.680 maybe she has some learning disability and maybe like you know she's possible she's trying to find

00:24:45.160 some way she's she's basically covering every basis in case she's being mean it doesn't realize she's 0.99

00:24:49.440 being mean because in our society today that's another thing that's happening yes because a lot of

00:24:53.820 times it happens like if you say oh man that guy's got a crappy haircut he fell on his head when he was 0.98

00:24:58.480 four years old you bastard it's like all right i didn't know that okay and you know okay i'm sorry 0.98

00:25:05.100 like all right you know i guess it's not his fault right like but this is this you know of course there 0.99

00:25:09.780 is the outlying possibility that there's something but again like she's writing op-eds and you know

00:25:15.820 you know it doesn't seem like a normal uh arrangement but she's allowing for the complete outlier of the 1.00

00:25:22.000 possibility that she's missing something significant here uh she goes on to say uh this is the writer

00:25:27.380 of the story i think i was more perplexed by the insistence of wanting to spell something the way

00:25:32.200 that she wanted to because she wanted to ignoring the fact that there are rules and dictionaries

00:25:36.160 and seeming offended that anyone would suggest the use of an outside resource as reference

00:25:40.740 uh she goes on and say um you know obviously if there's something i don't know about uh you know

00:25:47.400 she needs help or whatever i hope she gets it but it seemed like more like someone who had

00:25:50.380 never been told no or that she is anything other than 100 perfect and amazing and can do nothing 0.63

00:25:56.280 wrong and it's going to be exhausting for her and anyone in her orbit i asked a colleague about it 0.95

00:26:01.620 and he relayed a story about the time he gave an early 20 somethings uh 20 something feedback on a

00:26:06.400 writing assignment the young man quit the next day and had his parents call to tell him what a terrible

00:26:11.200 boss he was for correcting work that didn't need correcting i worry about how kids are being raised

00:26:17.140 sometimes i really do that's how uh and she wraps it up how are they going to get along in the

00:26:23.440 workplace this is the problem you know parents like that have allowed that behavior the whole time

00:26:29.140 they haven't challenged them they haven't corrected them and everything they've done is right so where

00:26:34.920 do you go with that in the workplace yeah and you and you see this like there are there are funny

00:26:39.740 examples of it like i mean this is an extreme example i assume i mean i hopefully i will say we work

00:26:45.520 around people in their 20s and they don't seem that way right uh so it's certainly not uh widespread

00:26:49.900 however um well i mean it may be widespread but at least people who come work at the blaze aren't

00:26:54.720 like that i guess that's all the only statement i can actually make on that particular topic people

00:26:58.340 who are you know might be leaning conservative maybe have a different profile uh but it is a

00:27:04.280 situation where uh you know it's the american idol effect right they they start that first episode

00:27:10.180 and all these people come in that can't sing at all and they've been told their whole life how good

00:27:14.380 they are yeah and they have no idea that they can't function in this world that they think they

00:27:19.640 can function in yeah they think they're great and simon cowell is just mean simon cowell is just

00:27:26.560 telling you the truth and at some point you have to believe that people in this generation that have

00:27:34.040 been raised this way bump their heads really hard into a wall called reality the scary part is not

00:27:40.660 that though to me the scary part is at some point that generation is now the boss we're only what 0.88

00:27:47.640 20 years away from that and when that generation is the boss and those people who think that way if

00:27:53.260 they're not they don't have a change of thinking by then they're running the country what the hell

00:27:58.560 happens then it's over it's over at that point more in 60 seconds

00:28:03.260 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:28:12.740 with pat and stew this week for glenn triple eight uh seven two seven b e c k you know we never

00:28:20.560 did play the uh uh chris cuomo babbling at the uh at the at the time it was a town hall for gun

00:28:29.640 control last last night and and chris has all the answers um it's it's pretty amazing some of the

00:28:36.660 things he had to say i i love it when he gets into that serious voice and it's like okay i'm gonna

00:28:42.620 tell you things that nobody's ever told you before and then it's all the same blah blah blah blah i'm being

00:28:48.620 a tough guy by taking the position every other member of the media is currently am i not brave

00:28:53.960 because yes everybody's on my side guys we just have to stand up to this nra i mean sure they can't

00:29:01.520 even like keep their own operation going at the moment which is amazing yeah and it's sad and scary

00:29:06.540 because they are very important um but i mean they're having real troubles internally just keeping

00:29:11.400 the doors open with you know sort of infighting going on right now and again but we're still supposed

00:29:17.460 to be they're still the boogeyman oh yeah they're the boogeyman not even though they were outspent

00:29:23.160 in the last election by a large amount by anti-gun organizations like every town usa every town usa and

00:29:29.940 many others you know that are supported by people like michael bloomberg who just by the way a

00:29:34.100 billionaire yeah a billionaire so it's a fascinating thing like i i this converse this comes up a lot

00:29:40.040 where people are like well look they just they're folding to the nra they're just folding to the nra

00:29:43.700 well first of all the nra has no power in and of itself the power comes from the members and they

00:29:48.260 represent millions and millions of individual people who care about the second amendment so

00:29:53.240 you're not folding to the nra if anything you're folding to the people who are in the nra

00:29:57.400 the actual members which is that's american citizens american citizens and voters right yes but they're

00:30:02.980 not like the idea that a few million dollars that the nra spends which used to by the way go to a lot

00:30:08.680 democrats i mean there was a time where they had i think it was 60 or 70 democrats they gave an a

00:30:13.740 rating to now there's like two because are there two i'm surprised there's two if there's even two

00:30:19.820 i mean i i just read the stat i want to say there was a couple of them but i can't i can't tell you

00:30:23.260 their names off the top of my head but the bottom line is like this is a situation where the democrats

00:30:28.740 have fled the gun rights position they've abandoned it just like they've abandoned the pro-life position

00:30:35.240 there used to be pro i mean like one of the most famous supreme court cases in history has the name

00:30:39.420 casey in it and then now you have because he's a very famous last name in pennsylvania and democrat

00:30:45.980 politics now i mean you can't even find anybody they're kicking people out for being pro-life oh

00:30:50.640 yeah you can't no i mean it's so it is uh it's one of those things that's very strange because

00:30:56.180 politically forget the second amendment forget the fact that you should have you know the rights that

00:31:01.780 you should have that come from from god to protect yourself forget all those things for just a

00:31:06.300 second if you're just looking at politics why wouldn't you ban assault weapons who cares like

00:31:11.900 you've got most people don't have a quote-unquote assault weapon and i know that's not really a term

00:31:16.760 but like i'm using it for the ease of conversation here yeah why wouldn't you there's what five million

00:31:23.040 of them out there they say you know a lot of them a lot of people own multiple assault weapons

00:31:28.560 it would be the easiest thing in the world to say yeah background check sure and yeah

00:31:33.100 assault weapons sure and what else do you want oh yeah sure like it looks like i did something and

00:31:38.300 it'll help you know in the at the polls these are things that are generally that poll pretty well

00:31:44.800 uh you know not as much the assault weapon ban but things like um uh you know the background checks

00:31:51.300 and stuff or even though they're kind of misleading they're they poll very well you could you could be

00:31:55.740 the person out there saying you know what i did something i got that legislation passed you could

00:31:59.460 brag about how difficult it was like uh kirsten gillibrand she's when she said when people told me

00:32:04.940 that giving health care to 9-11 victims was impossible i continued to fight for it oh wow impossible

00:32:12.300 yeah you remember when everybody was saying that to her divisive issue that one is whoa no one wants 0.91

00:32:18.060 to give health care to 9-11 victims that was just way out there and how did we get that across the

00:32:23.820 finish line without kirsten gillibrand like you could do all that self-aggrandizing nonsense and 1.00

00:32:30.460 say that you did something the politics of it are easy the point is that we actually have rights in a

00:32:35.160 constitution and that's why you fight for them you fight for them because it's the morally right thing

00:32:40.440 to do not to mention the process makes it impossible for you to do the things you're trying to accomplish

00:32:46.620 there's a uh there's a constitution you can't violate it uh shall not infringe is a big it's a

00:32:52.840 really restrictive wording seems like it they didn't leave it open for interpretation i don't

00:32:57.820 think it was certainly in that part and yet here's all the uh here's the compelling argument from

00:33:04.000 chris cuomo last night i want you to stop saying that this is going to be about the president he's not

00:33:09.520 going to solve this problem you can argue the reasons why in different ways but it doesn't matter

00:33:13.940 he says he's open to making changes but he is yet to act in a real way and this really shouldn't be

00:33:19.840 all about him agree all major movements in this country start with you not them not the politicians

00:33:25.640 true sure when they run they all have plans and ideas and promises thoughts and prayers sympathy for

00:33:31.180 those who suffer the prayers they just rarely act on it because it really is for you to lead with your

00:33:37.300 voices the worst and your votes thank you and i believe there's reason for help okay for one 0.99

00:33:42.580 we can't continue to be this stupid it just defies common sense we have a clear consensus among 0.99

00:33:49.600 americans of wanting better and more protection second amazing but it's just you're in el paso all 1.00

00:33:55.660 right this is he's running an anti-gun charity right here on television this country rejects hate and the

00:34:01.160 idea of white nationalists pray for just a second because there's a lot of countries that openly embrace

00:34:08.100 hate there's a lot of places where hate is uh the the thing they love the most oh it's funny hate i mean

00:34:14.860 there are right there actually are i mean if you go through the middle east you can find a lot of people

00:34:19.940 who hate jews right in polling at 70 and 80 and 90 percent so there are those societies it's the ones you're 0.65

00:34:28.180 constantly defending by the way that's for sure those are the ones that when we are critical of the culture

00:34:33.160 in those countries you say we're hateful all right he had more see if we can get through this

00:34:38.300 part of us is unacceptable and i believe your revulsion will force lawmakers to treat people

00:34:44.800 like them as the terrorists they are right people point to the 94 assault weapons ban as a model but

00:34:51.040 is it really no barely found political consensus didn't do anything 216 to 214 and to be honest it

00:34:56.760 really was easily run around by manufacturers oh is that what happened i would argue we've never really

00:35:02.080 taken this on and yet now they got the ban for a decade and they're saying it doesn't count

00:35:07.060 what argument did you hear it's every socialist argument well we had a socialist government but

00:35:10.980 it didn't count that data really shouldn't be shared with relevant agencies these fears of some

00:35:17.140 mystery database where they'll know what you have and then when you have to go against the government

00:35:20.780 someday you'll be unprepared ill-equipped it's not even it's not even journalism it's not even

00:35:27.720 moderation it's not he's not moderating this thing all right we got enough of him because 0.92

00:35:31.600 it's pathetic this is just a guy saying like we we are dumb if we don't take the government action 0.91

00:35:38.120 that i want right yes we because conservatives have a million different things that we think 0.97

00:35:43.080 would help the situation you just don't like any of them exactly right like you don't like having

00:35:47.200 extra security you don't like having people getting rid of gun-free zones you don't like those

00:35:52.440 answers so you say we're being dumb because we're not adopting your answers well that's just advocacy we

00:35:57.720 can we can have a debate about which one of those uh issues is better than the other and which that's 0.97

00:36:03.000 what we've done sure we can all say white nationalism sucks and we should fight against that but of course 0.96

00:36:07.980 you're going to tell us it's a much bigger problem than there's any right to believe that it is 0.96

00:36:11.480 you know i mean we have individual actors that have terrible ideologies but i mean you can't

00:36:16.660 these arguments they're not even attempting to be oh absolutely not not even attempting

00:36:23.080 888-727-BECK more in 60 seconds this is the glenbeck program

00:36:29.560 so i came in here on monday after these shootings and was talking about the motivation behind them

00:36:39.420 because everyone was saying it was white supremacy it took the time to actually read

00:36:43.540 you know the actual document from this murderer and he does describe white supremacy and he does use

00:36:51.140 the word invasion which is the entire link basically to donald trump it's a point where we can blame

00:36:56.540 donald trump because he used the word invasion and donald trump's used the word invasion that's

00:37:00.360 their big link so i came in here and i and i said well the media what they're not telling you and

00:37:05.460 they're not even linking to the document for you to find out yourself is there's an entire section

00:37:10.900 it's basically equal parts in the document of white supremacy anti-immigration sentiment on one hand and on the

00:37:17.940 other hand anti-corporate and environmentalist rhetoric and here we are now four days later

00:37:27.740 and i have still yet to see one example of the mainstream media even mentioning that it appears

00:37:38.520 in the document i'm not saying they have to say it was the overwhelming motivation or even that it was

00:37:44.240 on equal footing you could even give me an argument if you want and say well you know what i don't

00:37:48.660 think he meant that one i don't think he meant the environmentalist stuff we only think he meant this

00:37:52.320 stuff you can say all of that but the idea that they would continually blame donald trump without

00:37:57.600 even mentioning it is remarkable i i would love if you happen to see any mainstream media source that

00:38:05.560 has mentioned this once send it to me tweet it to me at world of stew i would because i it's very

00:38:12.040 possible i missed one or two but the overall uh narrative here has been very clear it has been

00:38:18.800 donald trump use the word invasion and that means that he's responsible but take a step back for a

00:38:25.480 second because i don't think it's even this it's much worse than the way i'm describing it if you want

00:38:30.380 to say donald trump is responsible for the shooting which they are just saying as if it's fact

00:38:34.740 you have to you have to complete multiple magic tricks to get to that right you have to say that

00:38:41.860 invasion which is a colorful way of run-of-the-mill conservative border analysis right like the point

00:38:52.600 is that we're not doing anything and millions of people keep coming into the country when we're saying

00:38:57.220 please don't come into the country so like is that an invasion i you know it's not the word that i would

00:39:01.980 use but i mean it is not it's it's a bunch it's millions of people breaking the law it's something

00:39:09.180 bad if you care about the law okay if you care about rule of law it's certainly something undesirable

00:39:16.840 and obviously the for decades uh the conservative analysis of the border and about 15 anytime before

00:39:27.060 10 or 15 years ago the democratic version and analysis of the border was the same

00:39:31.880 which was we can't just have people flooding over the border and screwing with our economy and

00:39:36.800 committing crimes and doing all these bad things it was not a controversial issue

00:39:40.100 so but to get to donald trump inspired this person you have to say okay invasion invasion yes

00:39:48.720 but also that invasion is a real code word and that code word is a code word for white supremacy and

00:39:54.780 white nationalism where there's no evidence that donald trump supports white supremacy or white

00:39:59.120 nationalism there's no evidence of it whatsoever you can say he's racially insensitive at times you

00:40:03.740 can say he says things that are bad you can say that he's not not a uniting force in our country

00:40:09.420 blah blah blah but there's no rational uh argument to say that he supports white nationalism because

00:40:16.480 just at a very simple level he hasn't overtly done it right like you could say he didn't quickly

00:40:21.660 enough denounce the people in charlottesville or he said there's good people on both sides but he's

00:40:27.000 never overtly said i believe this is a white country and we should only have white people in it right

00:40:33.740 there's no evidence of that whatsoever none right however in the environmentalist part of this there

00:40:39.380 is evidence that all of these candidates have said specifically the things he mentions in them in

00:40:44.500 them in the thing in the uh in manifesto they are all running a campaign currently based on the

00:40:52.180 things he cites in the document as his motivation for the killings they he they all are saying we are

00:41:00.200 a consumer society they all are saying corporations are hurting our environment they are all saying that

00:41:05.480 we are at an apocalyptic tipping point with the environment they are all saying put so much plastic waste

00:41:11.760 is in our oceans and ruining our environment they are all saying we're overdoing it with our

00:41:16.720 resourcing resourcing uh resources and over harvesting those resources they are actually

00:41:22.400 overtly saying the exact same things with no qualifiers it's not like with white nationalism where you have

00:41:29.100 to say well invasion what he means is he doesn't want any hispanics in the country what he means is 1.00

00:41:33.440 that means that he must mean white nationalism you don't need any leaps he's basically quoting the

00:41:38.860 debates that you're seeing on stage and so if you are going to say with certainty that donald trump

00:41:43.880 is responsible you must say with even more certainty that the democratic candidates are responsible for

00:41:51.760 this attack now alternatively you could have a morally defensible position and say that the killer is the

00:42:01.340 one responsible for his killings that you could also go that direction but you can't just say that the one

00:42:08.200 half of the manifesto with a bunch of magic tricks and in gymnastics to try to mentally bend your way

00:42:15.820 into finding that donald trump is responsible you can't say that just that half is part of it when

00:42:20.920 the democrats are saying everything word for word from the other half of the document and say they have

00:42:27.540 no responsibility and not even that not even mentioned that it occurred in the document this is the

00:42:33.540 biggest i have never in my life seen anything like this the media malpractice in that which is completely

00:42:42.200 intentional i have never seen a worse example of it in my entire life i've been doing this for 20 years and i've

00:42:49.640 never seen anything like it they are absolutely denying that half of this document exists i i i it's blowing my

00:42:59.160 mind that they're at least not mentioning it and dismissing it but they are not and they are blaming

00:43:05.080 donald trump with certainty when there's if you want to go down that road there is more evidence again
