The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Mark Bowe ｜ 6⧸26⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, if you happen to be watching the podcast on Blaze TV, you saw the Gettysburg Address,

00:00:08.680 the 13th Amendment signed by Abraham Lincoln, and the Emancipation Proclamation.

00:00:15.800 And it's stunning, and they are here under heavy guard around the clock.

00:00:21.560 Abraham Lincoln may be one of our best Democratic presidents.

00:00:24.360 No, he was a Republican.

00:00:26.280 I'm pretty sure.

00:00:27.280 No, he was a Republican.

00:00:28.020 No.

00:00:28.480 Anyway, we're having a museum.

00:00:29.700 It is 12 score and three years ago.

00:00:32.840 If you buy your ticket today, tomorrow I'm going on the radio program, announce I'm going to just reach in to everybody who bought a ticket,

00:00:40.160 and you may be upgraded.

00:00:41.580 You and your whole family will be upgraded, and take a tour with me through the studios and the museum.

00:00:48.240 It's an amazing museum.

00:00:49.860 We don't want you to miss it.

00:00:51.420 It really shows the sacrifice that it takes for liberty, and it's then and now.

00:00:56.800 The things that historians are just leaving out of our textbooks, and the stories today that mainstream media is leaving off of the news.

00:01:07.980 You don't want to miss this.

00:01:09.800 It starts Saturday, and it goes through July 7th.

00:01:14.300 That's mercuryone.org.

00:01:15.760 Get your tickets now.

00:01:16.680 Mercuryone.org.

00:01:17.640 Okay, on today's podcast, we have a lot.

00:01:20.860 Who is at an advantage and disadvantage in the debates tonight and tomorrow?

00:01:26.840 We break down each of the candidates.

00:01:29.460 We also go over Ted Cruz talking to one of the executives at Google, and the answer is absolutely amazing.

00:01:39.840 We start the podcast with clips of the DNA test and what I think was flirting with Anderson Cooper,

00:01:47.760 the woman who claims to have been raped, and one of our listeners is triggered by it.

00:01:54.700 You don't want to miss it on the podcast.

00:01:59.460 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:11.140 Home Title Lock.

00:02:15.840 Okay?

00:02:16.160 It's just a changing world, and everything that we used to do is not secure anymore, so we have to update things.

00:02:44.100 I mean, it really takes $30.

00:02:45.580 I've seen it done to my house.

00:02:47.420 Take $30 and about 30 minutes, and you're done.

00:02:50.180 And you lose your house.

00:02:51.740 They borrow against it.

00:02:53.460 We've had people that have had their houses repossessed.

00:02:56.400 They're the rightful owner.

00:03:15.700 So I really want to start with some audio.

00:03:20.760 This is how crazy and desperate.

00:03:24.520 Yesterday, I posted something about Project Veritas.

00:03:26.880 I said, this is the most important story, possibly one of the top three stories of the year.

00:03:32.800 I think it's the most important story because it's showing how Google is trying to manipulate you,

00:03:40.440 what their plans are to control information, and to control and program people.

00:03:47.100 It is a very important story. 0.97

00:03:48.860 I had so many people write back or tweet, oh, yeah, right, like you're not talking about the woman who Donald Trump raped. 0.87

00:03:57.080 Are you kidding me? 0.94

00:03:59.680 You believe this?

00:04:02.680 Here's the Trump accuser on CNN with Anderson Cooper who knows he's in the Titanic.

00:04:12.180 He's standing on the part of the Titanic that snaps in half.

00:04:15.560 He knows.

00:04:16.020 He's like, I got to get to a lifeboat.

00:04:17.820 We're going to take a break.

00:04:19.020 I got to get to a lifeboat.

00:04:20.420 And she just makes it worse. 1.00

00:04:21.940 Listen to this.

00:04:22.780 You don't feel like a victim.

00:04:24.040 I was not thrown on the ground and ravished.

00:04:26.440 The word rape carries so many sexual connotations.

00:04:30.640 This was not sexual.

00:04:34.000 It hurt.

00:04:35.780 It just, you know.

00:04:37.240 I think most people think of rape as a, I mean, it is a violent assault.

00:04:42.040 It is not a sexual assault.

00:04:42.560 I think most people think of rape as being sexy.

00:04:46.360 Let's take a short break.

00:04:47.260 What do you think of the fantasies?

00:04:48.320 I'm on the Titanic.

00:04:49.720 What?

00:04:49.940 We're just going to take a quick break.

00:04:51.280 If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.

00:04:53.900 You're fascinating to talk to.

00:04:55.940 Oh my gosh.

00:04:56.940 That was just creepy.

00:04:58.420 You're fascinating to talk to. 0.96

00:05:00.440 Would you have a rape fantasy about me right now? 0.86

00:05:03.660 What was that? 0.99

00:05:05.220 That was very strange.

00:05:06.160 Very strange.

00:05:07.060 Now, she also has the clothing and she's never worn the clothing since.

00:05:12.340 The clothing she was wearing on the day that she was supposedly raped by Trump. 0.99

00:05:15.580 Violently raped by Donald Trump. 0.99

00:05:16.860 Okay. 0.99

00:05:17.480 So, here she is about, well, you have it.

00:05:21.300 Let's take it in for DNA testing. 0.96

00:05:23.100 Listen.

00:05:23.220 The mayor of New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, who of course is running against President

00:05:28.160 Trump, has said that if you were to bring a case forward, he will pursue it.

00:05:33.440 He will have the New York City Police Department pursue it.

00:05:36.160 So, do you want to pursue this?

00:05:38.160 It is the greatest police department in the world.

00:05:41.500 The detectives are great in New York.

00:05:43.100 The thing is, it's past the time.

00:05:46.500 It's experts.

00:05:48.060 I've been talking to experts and they say that we've passed the legal.

00:05:53.740 Yes.

00:05:53.960 Thank you.

00:05:54.120 Yes.

00:05:54.360 There was a statute of limitations in place at the time this happened in late 1995 or 96.

00:05:58.540 That has since changed.

00:05:59.540 And Mayor de Blasio, when he heard your story, said that he would pursue, on your behalf,

00:06:05.620 an investigation.

00:06:06.560 And so, you have the dress that you were wearing.

00:06:09.320 You don't, I'm sure, still have the tights.

00:06:11.000 But would you consider doing that?

00:06:13.360 I consider it, but the experts are telling me that...

00:06:16.400 So, you've consulted lawyers.

00:06:17.700 Yeah.

00:06:18.060 Well, they've written to me.

00:06:21.020 I've never consulted a lawyer in my life.

00:06:23.220 It's not something I would do.

00:06:24.300 They have, you know, emailed me to tell me that, you know, as you say, the statute of

00:06:30.060 limitations is passed because I don't know the legal...

00:06:34.940 I don't want to say what, you know, because I don't know what it is.

00:06:40.060 Huh?

00:06:40.720 You might be lying.

00:06:42.100 I'm just saying, you might be lying.

00:06:43.940 Does it seem...

00:06:44.980 Does it seem...

00:06:46.480 I've heard people speculate that maybe she was a little, maybe, tipsy on this particular

00:06:52.520 interview?

00:06:52.820 I mean, she's certainly slurring words and such. 0.95

00:06:55.600 She's... 1.00

00:06:56.140 I don't...

00:06:56.640 I don't...

00:06:57.880 Look.

00:06:59.000 I don't...

00:06:59.940 I don't...

00:07:00.660 Okay.

00:07:01.480 So, I've talked to experts.

00:07:04.500 I've talked to many experts.

00:07:08.880 And they all say the same thing.

00:07:12.260 And they tell me straight up.

00:07:14.780 They say, whatever you get out of this conversation, I want you to remember...

00:07:21.820 I don't remember what they said out of that.

00:07:28.380 But they told me stuff.

00:07:30.180 And I'm telling you, it's past the time.

00:07:33.960 I mean...

00:07:34.380 Buy my book.

00:07:34.940 Right.

00:07:35.680 Yeah.

00:07:36.140 I guess that's the point.

00:07:37.380 That's really it.

00:07:38.240 Why would you tell a story like this at this time?

00:07:41.140 Yeah.

00:07:41.640 But you go 20 years, 25 years without telling the story about this, you know, alleged assault.

00:07:48.600 Well, we were at Bergdorf Goodman's.

00:07:53.220 Yeah.

00:07:53.540 Bergdorf Goodman's.

00:07:54.380 Is that what you said?

00:07:55.200 It was Bergdorf Goodman's.

00:07:57.240 And we were there.

00:07:58.720 And he was touching lingerie in a very rapey sort of way.

00:08:03.880 Okay.

00:08:04.400 And he came up to me and said, hey, would you try this lingerie on for me?

00:08:13.920 And I said, well, that's kind of a strange request.

00:08:20.400 Because usually people don't like to try on like underwear and stuff.

00:08:26.920 You don't usually do that.

00:08:29.000 And there was nobody around.

00:08:33.620 And so I said, okay, I'll just go into this room.

00:08:36.960 Would you like to be there while I change in into this lingerie?

00:08:42.660 And he said, would I?

00:08:45.300 And I said, right.

00:08:48.100 And so he was.

00:08:49.480 And I distinctly remember he was wearing a trench coat or an overcoat or a big long.

00:08:58.440 I mean, it's just his tie was in the way of his wee-wee.

00:09:02.600 So I couldn't tell that he opened up his fly.

00:09:06.640 But I talked to a lot of people and it happens.

00:09:09.260 Right.

00:09:10.080 Yeah.

00:09:11.720 That's an amazing.

00:09:12.720 I just, it does not seem to hold up to the very basic levels of a credibility check.

00:09:19.980 Yeah.

00:09:20.260 Because I mean, because a couple of things.

00:09:22.240 Number one, you are releasing this book 25 years later.

00:09:27.300 What's your purpose of that?

00:09:28.500 Right.

00:09:28.680 Just to tell the story randomly?

00:09:30.060 No.

00:09:30.680 Money.

00:09:31.240 Truth.

00:09:32.880 Well, true.

00:09:33.300 Okay.

00:09:33.780 No, because I mean, you want people to know the truth about Donald Trump, right?

00:09:37.160 Money.

00:09:38.180 Money.

00:09:38.760 Truth.

00:09:39.080 You want people to know the truth about Donald Trump, that he's this really bad guy.

00:09:44.800 Yes, exactly.

00:09:45.520 Right?

00:09:46.000 Yes.

00:09:46.580 Okay.

00:09:47.340 So you want that to happen.

00:09:49.440 What you have now is the mayor of the city, who could actually look into this, is telling

00:09:54.500 you, we will look into this.

00:09:56.680 Now, despite whether he actually can or not.

00:09:59.080 He doesn't understand the law.

00:10:04.720 Right, like the people that emailed you that you didn't consult.

00:10:07.120 I got a text message.

00:10:08.400 Yeah.

00:10:09.080 Just a little while.

00:10:10.200 But the added advantage here, and this is a miracle situation.

00:10:13.980 If you're in this situation, you're writing a book, you're trying to obviously let people

00:10:17.400 know the truth about this awful person who's the president of the United States and up

00:10:20.300 for election and all these things, is the mayor of the city is also running for president

00:10:25.720 against this person.

00:10:27.300 So he is incredibly motivated to find anything negative about Donald Trump.

00:10:33.300 Here's what says it all.

00:10:34.480 Let me go and reframe this CNN interview with Anderson Cooper.

00:10:38.260 Play this again.

00:10:42.080 You don't feel like a victim.

00:10:43.200 I was not thrown on the ground and ravished.

00:10:45.460 Never heard of me.

00:10:46.580 Which, before rape carries so many sexual connotations. 0.75

00:10:49.840 Yeah.

00:10:50.040 This was not, this was not sexual.

00:10:52.780 It was.

00:10:53.420 Just stop for just a second.

00:10:54.420 Just stop for a second.

00:10:55.420 Listen to her.

00:10:56.420 When you start listening to her, like this, play it again.

00:11:00.140 Because she's like, this is, this was not sexual.

00:11:03.640 This was horrible.

00:11:06.920 Listen to her.

00:11:09.040 You don't feel like a victim.

00:11:10.240 I was not thrown on the ground and ravished.

00:11:12.240 Not ravished.

00:11:12.680 Which, the word rape carries so many sexual connotations.

00:11:16.920 This was not, this was not sexual.

00:11:19.240 This was horrible.

00:11:20.020 It just, it hurt.

00:11:22.020 It just, you know.

00:11:23.540 I think most people think of rape as a, I mean, it is a violent assault. 0.99

00:11:27.100 That's ridiculous. 0.94

00:11:28.060 It is not a sexual assault. 0.99

00:11:28.620 I think most people think of rape as being sexy.

00:11:32.360 What?

00:11:33.040 Let's take a short break.

00:11:33.580 Now listen, now listen.

00:11:36.000 Let's take a short break.

00:11:36.640 Let's go take a quick break.

00:11:37.820 If you can stick around, we'll talk about it on the other side.

00:11:40.080 You're fascinating to talk to.

00:11:42.560 Okay.

00:11:43.280 Okay.

00:11:44.120 So now, what would I do in that situation?

00:11:47.180 What would any journalist that was really trying to get to the truth do in that situation?

00:11:53.860 What?

00:11:54.360 No, let me do that.

00:11:56.040 What would a journalist do even if he just hammered it out of his mind?

00:12:01.360 What is the one thing you would never do at that moment?

00:12:06.640 I mean, take a break, right?

00:12:10.580 You'd never take a break.

00:12:12.120 You'd say, I know, I'm supposed to take a break here, but hold on just a second.

00:12:17.600 You have her on the ropes. 0.98

00:12:20.440 Wait a minute.

00:12:21.180 Wait a minute.

00:12:22.040 Wait a minute.

00:12:22.440 You think you have now a chance to take her apart because it's all starting to unravel.

00:12:30.520 The last thing you do, unless you're part of the defense of this woman, not prosecution or looking for the truth, if you're part of the defense, you immediately go, your honor, we need a recess. 0.57

00:12:46.060 Yeah, I mean, you could make the argument, look, it's a woman who's claiming to be, you know, claiming to be raped. 0.99

00:12:51.840 And usually those people are not attacked in an interview.

00:12:55.720 However, if it was a Republican who, you know, if it was, you know, Roy Moore who's on the air and he's being pressed and he says something like that, like, that's not going to be just like, forget about politics for a second.

00:13:08.500 Yeah.

00:13:08.600 If you are trying to find the truth, you don't take a four minute break where one of her handlers can come up to her and go, um, you, uh, we should end this interview.

00:13:20.520 Right. 1.00

00:13:20.760 Or you're looking really stupid. 1.00

00:13:22.620 Would you shut up? 1.00

00:13:23.820 You do not do that.

00:13:26.120 Yeah.

00:13:26.700 I mean, you can make the argument.

00:13:27.740 It's not political.

00:13:28.320 I think as, as you, as you are in that it's, it's a, it's a gentle treatment of someone who says they were assaulted.

00:13:33.800 However, I think when it comes down to it on the other side, that would not be the treatment by most of the media.

00:13:39.700 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it wouldn't.

00:13:42.040 All right.

00:14:17.240 Hi.

00:14:19.280 Sandy, are you okay?

00:14:21.280 You just brought up a lot of memories today as I'm listening to the program.

00:14:25.940 Really?

00:14:26.400 Yeah.

00:14:26.780 I'm sorry to, to do that.

00:14:29.020 What, what exactly happened?

00:14:30.460 I would just like to report a, a credible accusation of assault against the president

00:14:36.360 of the United States.

00:14:37.520 Okay.

00:14:38.920 Against, with you?

00:14:40.860 You were assaulted by?

00:14:41.880 I was assaulted by Donald Trump.

00:14:43.680 Okay.

00:14:44.460 I've never told this story before.

00:14:46.320 All right.

00:14:46.820 It happened on September 31st, 1938.

00:14:53.300 1938?

00:14:54.280 Yes.

00:14:55.800 I, I, uh, okay.

00:14:58.080 I don't know.

00:14:58.620 I can, I don't know.

00:14:59.460 Was Donald Trump even?

00:15:00.500 September 31st, 1938.

00:15:02.140 Here I am.

00:15:02.920 I'm standing at an Apple store.

00:15:05.900 There, there's no.

00:15:06.500 And I'm purchasing an iPad.

00:15:08.060 Okay.

00:15:08.220 There's no, I.

00:15:09.460 And, and I'm, and I look behind the genius bar and there's Donald Trump.

00:15:14.100 Who, you see, you've heard him say he's one of the most brilliant geniuses in the world.

00:15:18.380 It's true.

00:15:19.080 I saw him at the genius bar.

00:15:22.780 And I thought he was going to help me with my purchase.

00:15:26.600 And instead he put his hands on me and he began to strangle me.

00:15:30.340 He began, he began to strangle you.

00:15:32.860 Yes.

00:15:33.460 And then.

00:15:34.120 Wow.

00:15:34.560 That's.

00:15:34.880 And then.

00:15:35.860 That's what happened. 0.99

00:15:37.900 Donald Trump murdered me. 1.00

00:15:40.400 It was terrible. 0.99

00:15:41.860 Well, hang on.

00:15:42.280 And I've never told this story before.

00:15:44.280 Okay.

00:15:44.860 And he, he murdered me right in the middle of the Apple store.

00:15:47.420 Okay.

00:15:47.640 What, what date did this happen?

00:15:49.000 Cause you were very.

00:15:49.700 September 31st, 1938.

00:15:51.620 Okay.

00:15:52.260 Donald Trump was born June 14th, 1946.

00:15:56.560 Is that what he's saying now?

00:15:58.300 No, that, that's what it is.

00:15:59.540 Let me tell you something.

00:16:01.440 Hashtag believe all women. 0.95

00:16:03.220 Okay.

00:16:03.660 But I, I just want to tell you that he was.

00:16:06.360 Look it up.

00:16:06.780 Look up the date right now.

00:16:07.840 You'll see.

00:16:08.460 Look on your calendar.

00:16:09.520 September 31st, 1938.

00:16:12.040 Check it out.

00:16:12.880 September 31st.

00:16:14.720 1938.

00:16:16.000 31st.

00:16:16.360 Yeah.

00:16:16.540 September 31st.

00:16:17.280 31st.

00:16:18.200 Yes.

00:16:18.360 It was a leap year.

00:16:19.600 No, I don't think that's how it works.

00:16:21.020 Just stop questioning me.

00:16:22.200 Why?

00:16:22.260 All right.

00:16:22.800 1938.

00:16:23.280 I was attacked.

00:16:23.960 I'm, I'm looking it up and they, uh, and I'm.

00:16:26.560 And I can prove this.

00:16:27.480 Okay.

00:16:27.820 I contemporaneously told three friends.

00:16:31.160 You contemporaneously.

00:16:32.020 Yes.

00:16:32.420 At the time I told three friends about the attack.

00:16:35.460 You told three friends.

00:16:36.540 Yes.

00:16:36.780 Alyssa Milano.

00:16:38.080 All right.

00:16:38.580 Ariana Huffington.

00:16:39.680 None of them were.

00:16:40.400 And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:16:42.020 Okay.

00:16:42.260 They all know about it.

00:16:43.100 Ask them.

00:16:44.300 Why won't you ask them?

00:16:45.100 None of them.

00:16:45.520 Because none of them were alive in 1930.

00:16:47.300 You can read all about it in my book.

00:16:49.400 It's coming out right now.

00:16:51.140 Right.

00:16:51.460 It's also, well, it's only available for people who are premium subscribers.

00:16:56.120 Um, if they, they just have to purchase the membership.

00:16:58.260 And then, and then if they pledge a certain amount.

00:17:01.280 Oh no, Donald Trump is killing me again.

00:17:03.260 No, no, he's not.

00:17:04.300 It's not.

00:17:04.360 It's not.

00:17:04.580 It's not.

00:17:04.760 Okay.

00:17:05.420 It's not.

00:17:06.220 All right.

00:17:06.720 Well, we've lost, I think we've lost Sandy, uh, but it was a, it was a thrilling tale

00:17:13.660 of her murder, uh, September 31st, 1938, uh, of course.

00:17:20.100 One other thing on this, Glenn, I would like to get your individual perspective.

00:17:23.520 Oh, hi, Stu.

00:17:24.280 You happened.

00:17:24.700 Oh, hi.

00:17:25.020 You missed a conversation with me and Sandy.

00:17:27.260 Sorry.

00:17:27.560 I was in the back.

00:17:30.700 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:36.720 Last night on TV, we did our socialist spotlight, which is, uh, which is always fun to do the

00:17:51.120 socialist spotlight because there are a few socialists out there and I'm going to give

00:17:56.440 you the update on the socialists that we highlighted yesterday.

00:17:59.960 It's, she's not really a socialist.

00:18:01.220 I don't think she believes in anything and I make a pretty good, pretty strong case.

00:18:07.440 She doesn't actually believe in anything.

00:18:12.240 Um, she's in a category really of her own.

00:18:15.020 How many people like that do you think there are up there, Stu?

00:18:18.140 There's some real ideologues.

00:18:19.720 Some people actually believe in stuff.

00:18:22.360 Uh, yeah.

00:18:23.160 Like the difference between Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand, they're saying a lot of

00:18:27.620 the same things.

00:18:28.240 Sanders is an ideologue.

00:18:29.620 He's been, he went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon, famously, he actually believes

00:18:33.980 this stuff.

00:18:35.220 You know, Kirsten Gillibrand was known as a conservative in the house and all of a sudden

00:18:39.480 is super liberal now.

00:18:41.060 Like O'Rourke, you can't tell what O'Rourke actually believes.

00:18:45.460 I mean, he, you know, he's, he's done the same thing.

00:18:48.120 He's been all over the board depending on who he's in front of.

00:18:50.400 What, what audience is he in front of?

00:18:51.820 That's who he is.

00:18:53.120 So there, there's a definite split there as well as to who really, who's a true believer

00:18:57.680 and who realizes the, you know, the, the mood of the democratic party right now and

00:19:02.420 is, is moving to fit it.

00:19:04.040 Okay.

00:19:04.160 So I want to talk to you a little bit about the poll numbers because the poll numbers

00:19:07.760 show that Joe Biden is ahead.

00:19:10.820 Joe Biden has what?

00:19:11.780 30.

00:19:12.940 It depends.

00:19:13.400 Anywhere between 25 and 38.

00:19:16.240 Okay.

00:19:16.440 So let's just say he's at 30.

00:19:18.200 Sure.

00:19:18.460 All right.

00:19:19.240 Um, big lead.

00:19:20.380 And however, there are 22 other people on the stand now, maybe, maybe it's just that

00:19:29.760 when everybody else, uh, joins, you know, when everybody else is eliminated, uh, Joe Biden

00:19:35.980 will pick up a lot more points because there's a lot more people like him that people have

00:19:39.980 to choose from.

00:19:40.560 But I don't think that's true because the people that are, are acting like he is centrists,

00:19:47.620 um, they all have zero.

00:19:50.020 So it's, so it's, it's, it's like everybody who wants to be in the center, who just wants

00:19:56.640 to restore America to sanity, as they would say, I wouldn't say, but as they would say,

00:20:02.120 um, those people are about 35%, 38%, would you say maybe, maybe 40?

00:20:10.980 Yeah.

00:20:11.240 I mean, I think there's a good, a good opportunity to, to point that out and that you're at Biden,

00:20:17.400 you know, let's say he has 30%.

00:20:19.040 Who else is running as a moderate has any, I mean, Klobuchar has one or two Yang, maybe

00:20:26.440 one or two Hickenlooper, one Bennett, one or zero Bullock, zero.

00:20:32.120 Delaney, zero, Ryan, zero, Moulton, zero.

00:20:34.560 So you got, if he's at 30, you have about 35.

00:20:37.420 Right.

00:20:37.960 Now let's total up the number of the pitchfork people, the people who literally want to, uh,

00:20:46.200 overturn the system.

00:20:48.000 Yeah.

00:20:48.360 So there, the people who are talking about changing the constitution, getting rid of the

00:20:52.180 free market, uh, changing the structure of the Supreme court.

00:20:55.940 I mean, people who are talking about deep foundational and, uh, structural change.

00:21:02.600 Yeah.

00:21:03.220 I mean, so here's the very typical poll.

00:21:05.380 This is from, uh, about a week or so ago had Biden at 32, then Sanders at, uh, 14.

00:21:13.420 This one had actually Warren at 15.

00:21:15.800 Okay.

00:21:16.040 Uh, then you have, uh, Kamala Harris, who would be in the very left side of this at eight. 1.00

00:21:23.240 You have already, you've already surpassed Biden.

00:21:26.760 Right.

00:21:26.940 You're already at, you're already surprised.

00:21:28.660 And again, like I, after this O'Rourke, you're going to put over on the left side as well.

00:21:32.100 I think, even though I don't, I think he's another one like Gillibrand who doesn't really

00:21:35.060 believe anything, but he's running certainly as a, as a leftist.

00:21:38.620 Um, then you have, um, Booker, same thing.

00:21:43.580 You put him over on the left.

00:21:45.640 Uh, Yang, I think you'd put, he got 2% in that poll.

00:21:48.380 You put him maybe on the more conservative or moderate sort of side.

00:21:51.500 Again, these are all in quotes.

00:21:52.620 These are Democrats we're talking about.

00:21:54.240 Klobuchar, you'd put over there with 1%.

00:21:56.840 Um, Gabbard, you'd have to put over on the left, uh, 1%.

00:22:01.740 Uh, then who else?

00:22:03.500 Anyone else there?

00:22:04.200 You got Bullock would be on the, on the moderate side, maybe.

00:22:08.240 Um, oh, but he's at zero.

00:22:09.900 So you can't count that as anything.

00:22:11.600 Gillibrand also zero, which is amazing.

00:22:14.680 I mean, this is, I mean, she has been, just had a rough role.

00:22:18.120 The, the one you might have a tough time placing at this point, because he's given such little

00:22:23.140 detail would be Buttigieg.

00:22:25.360 Now, I, you know, Buttigieg is a guy who's saying, I want to change the Supreme Court.

00:22:29.320 He wants 15 Supreme Court justices.

00:22:30.960 Right.

00:22:31.200 So, and that is a radical proposal.

00:22:33.700 Um, he, he advocated a 49.999% top rate in taxes.

00:22:39.060 Now, again, on the Democratic side, where do you put that?

00:22:42.700 I don't even know where to place that because as the United States, that's a crazy proposal,

00:22:47.540 right?

00:22:47.680 It's a massive tax increase.

00:22:49.500 For Democrats, though, a lot of them are saying 70 and 80%.

00:22:52.200 So I don't know if he's moderate or not, but I mean, I think you probably put him on the

00:22:58.260 left side of this, though he, you could also just leave him in the middle.

00:23:02.280 He's got another 5%.

00:23:03.260 But if you add all this stuff up, you're at 29, 37, 39, 40, 43, uh, 48 on the left.

00:23:10.000 And on the quote unquote moderate side, you've got 32 for Biden, but one for Klobuchar, 33.

00:23:15.860 Yang, two, 35.

00:23:17.320 And that's it.

00:23:18.020 So really, like, you know, it depends on how this breaks out.

00:23:22.360 Biden, however, is, has a case to be, to make to the left, right?

00:23:27.360 I mean, the guy was in a, the most progressive administration, arguably in history with Obama.

00:23:32.820 I mean, you could certainly, there's other ways to argue that, but I mean, you could certainly

00:23:35.660 make the case that he did more leftist things than any other president.

00:23:41.040 He'd certainly be in the top three or four.

00:23:42.480 Um, he had a very progressive voting record coming into Congress as I think the, he was

00:23:46.980 number one or two, as far as the most liberal senators when he was put in as VP.

00:23:51.440 Yes, he has some positions that are generally speaking old, uh, that they're trying to say,

00:23:57.380 well, why did you believe this in 1981?

00:23:59.820 Well, it was 1981 at the time, 1981, his positions were pretty liberal for 1981.

00:24:05.280 It's just that they don't look so liberal now because that was a long time ago.

00:24:09.040 I mean, people confuse Biden's being moderate and just being old.

00:24:12.740 He's just been around for a really long freaking time.

00:24:15.400 And he's a politician, unlike Sanders, who really is an ideologue.

00:24:18.920 I mean, you know, Biden has somewhat conservative sounding quotes from his past because in the

00:24:26.340 past, the Democrats were trying to portray themselves as were the middle of the road.

00:24:30.300 Correct.

00:24:30.680 Right?

00:24:30.900 Like he was fitting the times, which, you know, I can understand.

00:24:33.920 Kind of goes with Kirsten Gillibrand.

00:24:35.920 Yeah.

00:24:36.120 I mean, if you're a Sanders supporter, that's not good enough for you.

00:24:38.320 And I understand that.

00:24:39.380 But I mean, once it comes down to Biden, uh, you know, against a couple of people on the

00:24:44.840 left, he's going to be able to make a pretty good argument.

00:24:46.900 I mean, remember, he was the one that announced the gay marriage, uh, acceptance for the Obama

00:24:51.820 administration.

00:24:52.320 He beat Barack to that.

00:24:53.480 However, but however, he is perceived.

00:24:56.900 You have to put yourself, put yourself into the way the, uh, the Republicans felt.

00:25:03.260 The Republicans had some good choices, uh, as well, besides Donald Trump that would work

00:25:09.140 within the system.

00:25:10.380 That's not what they wanted.

00:25:12.080 No, they wanted somebody that would not work in the system.

00:25:15.660 They wanted Donald Trump.

00:25:17.240 They wanted somebody to overturn the, the apple cart.

00:25:21.820 I think that's the real choice.

00:25:24.040 What you have to watch in these debates tonight, uh, are for the people who want to overturn the

00:25:30.220 apple cart, the, the, the pitchfork Democrats, the ones who, uh, are not saying that Donald

00:25:38.120 Trump is the problem.

00:25:39.060 They're all going to say Donald Trump is the problem, but what they're going to say also 0.99

00:25:42.580 the pitchfork Democrats is Donald Trump is a nightmare. 0.96

00:25:47.160 We got to get rid of Donald Trump. 0.89

00:25:49.240 However, this system doesn't work.

00:25:52.160 This financial system doesn't work.

00:25:54.300 Meaning the free market system.

00:25:55.740 They may even come out and say that we have to fundamentally transform this financial system.

00:26:01.540 So the free market, they want to take in and, and, and turn upside down.

00:26:06.020 They want to turn our society upside down.

00:26:08.220 They want to destroy the system that they think is broken and replace it with system X.

00:26:16.700 Okay.

00:26:17.220 Joe Biden, on the other hand, is the kind of candidate who is saying, no, we don't need

00:26:23.180 to destroy the system.

00:26:24.480 We just need to get rid of essentially Trump.

00:26:25.860 He's done lots of damage.

00:26:27.160 If you come back to the Obama era, it'd be great.

00:26:29.280 Correct.

00:26:29.860 Um, and that approach didn't work with, with, uh, Mitt Romney in 12. 0.68

00:26:35.800 That approach is not going to, I think it's not going to work, um, uh, this time around.

00:26:43.080 And the only reason, the only reason I think Biden is perceived as, let me put it this way.

00:26:51.200 Personally, Biden is the guy that I wouldn't want to be the presidential nominee because

00:27:00.320 I think there's a chance that you get enough, what we used to call blue dog Democrats, people 0.80

00:27:06.680 who usually vote Democrat, uh, but they couldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. 0.97

00:27:11.960 See, the Obama Trump voters.

00:27:13.660 Correct.

00:27:14.000 Uh, and the, the female Republican voters who just don't like Trump because they don't 1.00

00:27:23.080 like how, you know, stylistically, okay.

00:27:26.460 That would look at Trump and Biden and say they're interchangeable, even though they're not,

00:27:31.120 they're interchangeable.

00:27:32.480 And I just feel more comfortable with him because he speaks, you know, softer, yada, yada,

00:27:37.920 yada.

00:27:38.120 Uh, I'm not sure how that ends up.

00:27:41.820 I'm not sure how that ends up.

00:27:43.420 So the one I'm afraid of is Joe Biden.

00:27:46.200 Uh, however, I think the Democrats want to embrace this burn the entire thing down.

00:27:57.280 Now is the time.

00:27:58.560 The left wants it and the left is in charge.

00:28:03.460 They're absolutely in charge.

00:28:05.360 And so I think when you look at the numbers, what are the numbers again?

00:28:08.860 You, when you add them all together, we're at 48 on the left, 35 moderate, but again,

00:28:13.880 32 of that is Biden.

00:28:15.400 Um, and that's the thing, you know, you can make, if you want to make a case for Biden

00:28:19.580 here, uh, getting through this, you can find one.

00:28:21.980 I mean, if you look at the two, if you look at the other side, cause you're talking about

00:28:25.420 like, they wanted someone to turn over the system.

00:28:27.060 That's why they went with Trump.

00:28:27.880 Right.

00:28:28.240 If you look at the 2016 from another perspective, one of the things that kept happening was

00:28:32.680 Donald Trump was sort of in his own wing, really the only person running in that area.

00:28:37.140 He kept leading the polls forever.

00:28:38.720 And everyone kept saying, well, when these other candidates drop out and they start losing,

00:28:42.680 they're going to coalesce behind somebody in, uh, in that wing, the non Donald Trump wing,

00:28:48.540 and then Trump's going to lose it was, you know, but like that didn't happen.

00:28:52.520 People just kept going over to Trump and he won relatively easily.

00:28:55.880 But I wonder that's because, uh, that's because people think I just want to win.

00:29:02.020 I don't want the other side to win.

00:29:03.220 I don't want Hillary to win. 0.67

00:29:04.600 Okay.

00:29:05.020 That's what, that was, that's what the thing was.

00:29:07.540 Um, and I don't know that that is a strong enough pull for the radicals of the left,

00:29:15.340 you know, for the millennials and everything else.

00:29:17.800 They don't want to vote for Joe Biden.

00:29:20.640 They want somebody that will stand up for their ideas.

00:29:24.240 So Joe Biden may win, but it won't be the young and it won't be the radicals.

00:29:30.280 It won't be that it won't be the passionate 10 or 15% at the bottom.

00:29:36.340 They're not going to join.

00:29:37.780 I just don't think they'll join.

00:29:39.520 It's interesting because I think there's a, there's a thing going on on the right,

00:29:42.700 generally speaking, where you're like, you're looking at these debates and like,

00:29:45.640 I don't care.

00:29:48.140 But it's like, when you are, when you're, when your team has just won the championship

00:29:51.660 game, okay.

00:29:52.800 And you're going to the Superbowl, you want to watch the other conference championship

00:29:56.420 game.

00:29:56.740 Cause you want to see who it is.

00:29:58.080 And sometimes it's difficult to pick who you would want.

00:30:00.240 I mean, cause I think Biden would be, there's a lot of people in that middle area, those

00:30:04.020 Democrats that voted for Trump who may be won over by Biden or those Republicans who

00:30:09.160 generally vote for Republican, but they can cross the aisle one way or another.

00:30:13.740 And of course, independence too, right?

00:30:14.900 Yes.

00:30:15.200 That might be won over.

00:30:16.740 Trump's best way to get elected is someone like Elizabeth Warren. 1.00

00:30:20.040 That scares those people.

00:30:21.500 Yes. 0.97

00:30:21.800 The people in the middle are like, holy crap. 0.98

00:30:23.580 She wants to do what? 0.99

00:30:24.940 Yes.

00:30:25.320 I, you know, I'm not in love with Trump, but I got to go with him.

00:30:27.940 Correct.

00:30:28.120 That's the easiest way for him to win.

00:30:30.000 However, it's also a high risk thing to root for, uh, someone who's, you know, that Trump

00:30:35.580 can beat because if you get a Warren or a Sanders in there, yeah, they might be easier for Trump

00:30:40.200 to, to beat, but if he doesn't beat them, the entire country could really be transformed

00:30:44.560 even more than when we saw it with Obama.

00:30:46.860 This, I mean, Sanders or Warren is like, that is hardcore ideologue remaking the country.

00:30:54.180 Oh yeah.

00:30:54.300 The country is, you'll have, uh, you know, Ocasio-Cortez and, and her ilk.

00:30:59.600 That's what we'll be running the country and it will not be the same.

00:31:02.960 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:18.260 Like listening to this podcast.

00:31:20.020 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

00:31:23.340 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.

00:31:25.700 As we approach, uh, Independence Day, uh, we wanted to do, uh, something very special,

00:31:33.400 um, and very different here at the Mercury Studios.

00:31:37.620 Uh, we have a museum that is opening up this Saturday and we invite you to come.

00:31:44.360 It is called 12 score and three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity.

00:31:49.680 Uh, and it starts in a slave ship, uh, you will walk through a slave ship.

00:31:56.640 And this also has, uh, uh, I don't know what you call it, uh, augmented reality, uh, in it

00:32:03.260 as well through the museum.

00:32:04.560 You'll be able to, uh, experience things in different way.

00:32:09.520 But before you get into the slave ship, we ask several questions.

00:32:13.400 What is, uh, what is slavery caused from?

00:32:18.580 What is the truth about slavery?

00:32:20.460 What was American slavery any different than the slavery that was happening elsewhere in

00:32:26.040 the world?

00:32:26.640 Where was it happening?

00:32:28.240 How many people came to America?

00:32:30.300 How many people came to other parts of the world?

00:32:34.420 Were we the worst offenders of this?

00:32:37.940 You're going to learn things that you have never heard before.

00:32:42.000 And it's pretty stunning, but we also are doing then and now, because I want to show you the

00:32:49.220 patterns.

00:32:50.060 When you learn from history, you can make sure that you don't repeat it.

00:32:54.880 And so we have modern history side by side.

00:32:59.240 And some of the things, I mean, walking out into our atrium here, we have probably the studios.

00:33:05.480 How, how many square feet do you think that atrium is?

00:33:07.720 I mean, I don't even know, 10,000 square feet, something more than that.

00:33:12.440 I mean, it's enormous.

00:33:13.940 Um, this atrium in this building, um, it's a whole block long and four stories high.

00:33:20.580 And it's, it's, it's, it's pretty incredible in and of itself.

00:33:24.620 Our atrium, I had to write a letter to the staff yesterday, apologizing.

00:33:29.440 I said, I'm not usually one for trigger warnings, but, uh, these are understandable trigger warnings.

00:33:36.180 There are weapons of, uh, of destruction against humanity that are in our, in our atrium that

00:33:45.340 I've never seen before that are just horrific.

00:33:50.660 Um, there's in the center of our, everybody was freaking out when we put up the clan display,

00:33:57.460 um, and showed everything is broken up into nine different categories.

00:34:02.940 And, and this one is the silencing of, of speech, the silencing of people, making sure

00:34:10.380 that you intimidate and frighten people into silence.

00:34:14.760 And so we have the, the KKK display and it's pretty intense.

00:34:21.440 I mean, it's, it's creepy.

00:34:23.520 It's very, very creepy.

00:34:24.640 I had to write to the staff and said, I, I'm really sorry.

00:34:28.060 It's going to be up for two weeks.

00:34:29.720 You know, I understand, you know, how all of us feel about this.

00:34:33.640 Uh, and please forgive us that this is where we're doing the museum.

00:34:37.580 Um, and look out because it's going to get worse later today, because then we brought in,

00:34:44.340 you remember the cage, uh, that they were burning people alive in, uh, ISIS.

00:34:51.000 And then they were dunking in pools.

00:34:52.860 They took cages and dunk them in pools. 0.99

00:34:55.880 Uh, we have a, uh, a cage, uh, that has two, uh, ISIS, um, execution uniforms, the orange jumpsuits. 0.99

00:35:09.520 Uh, I don't know.

00:35:12.220 We have a few of them and I think we've avoided the one with blood all over it.

00:35:17.340 Um, but these mannequins in these jumpsuits are, are in this cage. 1.00

00:35:23.780 Uh, and it is, and we have the uniform of an ISIS member of someone that was killed.

00:35:30.840 So we have the mask and the uniform and the gun and everything, and he's standing next to the cage and it is horrific.

00:35:38.720 It really is.

00:35:40.860 Um, but we, you will walk away with an understanding of, of history that you've never had before.

00:35:51.380 You will see things that no one has ever seen before.

00:35:55.060 You will see things that are really hard to see, for instance, in the studio.

00:35:58.660 And I have to talk about them here because we got to get them back to a secure room.

00:36:02.340 Um, but these three pieces, we've been working with the Lincoln, uh, museum.

00:36:07.760 And, uh, they are remarkable.

00:36:11.860 First, the Gettysburg Address, written in Lincoln's own handwriting.

00:36:17.680 Uh, there were four of these that he made.

00:36:20.560 He threw away the original, or actually he gave it to some newspaper guy who then transcribed it.

00:36:26.220 And then he didn't think it was a big deal.

00:36:27.920 So he threw it away.

00:36:29.360 And later Lincoln was asked, could you write that out?

00:36:32.840 So he wrote four of these in his own hand.

00:36:35.520 And this is the actual Emancipation Proclamation that was signed by Abraham Lincoln.

00:36:41.640 And, um, over here furthest from me, and if you're watching the blaze, you'll be able to see it.

00:36:48.080 Uh, uh, and you just have to come to the museum or sign up for the blaze to see it.

00:36:53.160 But you can barely read the, this is in worse shape than the Declaration of Independence.

00:36:59.340 Um, but that's the 13th Amendment.

00:37:01.560 And again, signed by Abraham Lincoln.

00:37:04.480 They see the light of day in the museum about three days a year.

00:37:09.240 So they're very, it's very, very rare to see them.

00:37:12.740 If you'd like to see them, along with the Juneteenth proclamation.

00:37:16.880 Proclamation number three.

00:37:17.980 I didn't even know this.

00:37:19.400 Did you know this?

00:37:20.520 Uh, did you, had you ever heard of Juneteenth before you moved here?

00:37:23.540 Not until I moved to Texas.

00:37:25.380 Right.

00:37:25.460 But it's a big deal here.

00:37:26.620 It's, and it's a, it's a national holiday.

00:37:28.640 It is actually a national holiday.

00:37:30.540 But it is one of those things where it just has the, the name of like a mall store.

00:37:35.280 Like they, like a mall, a sale.

00:37:36.780 It's the Juneteenth sale.

00:37:38.100 Like it feels.

00:37:38.680 It's exactly the way it feels.

00:37:40.340 So weird.

00:37:40.860 It is an amazing thing.

00:37:42.160 Texas, the news of the slaves being free hadn't traveled down to Texas for, I think, almost two years.

00:37:52.600 And so the slaves found out when the proclamation finally arrived.

00:37:58.840 And it was, I think, June 19th.

00:38:00.940 And so they call it Juneteenth.

00:38:02.240 And when the proclamation finally arrived in Texas and it was announced, the, the slaves found out and were freed June 19th.

00:38:11.440 And it's, it's a, it's an amazing story.

00:38:14.660 We have that actual proclamation that came in to Texas, uh, here as well.

00:38:22.480 Don't miss this, please.

00:38:24.740 Um, I ask that you would, uh, help us help stop slavery today.

00:38:29.760 That's what this is all about.

00:38:31.340 This really is to make you into a modern day abolitionist.

00:38:35.760 We have looked for so many different ways to, to say to people, stop dwelling on blame on the past because we're doing the same thing.

00:38:48.540 Now, there are a few abolitionists that are standing up for Christians, Christians right now.

00:38:55.280 How are the churches not flocking to help the Christians in the world who are being persecuted, who are being tortured?

00:39:05.540 The things that we have from the Middle East right now that are in this building are horrifying. 1.00

00:39:11.560 We're talking about, in, in Washington and the news, we're talking about the border being a concentration camp.

00:39:20.100 No, I'll, I'll show you what it is.

00:39:21.680 I'll show you a horror show.

00:39:23.100 We have the evidence of it right here.

00:39:25.700 Is anybody going to look at it?

00:39:27.380 It's actually stunning the things you will learn about American history that you didn't know.

00:39:37.800 It is stunning when you learn about things that are going on right now and you see the actual items and it actually will be very uplifting for you and your family at the end.

00:39:49.780 And we invite you to come.

00:39:52.000 It's this Saturday here in Texas and it goes until July 7th.

00:39:58.320 Now, right now, if you buy a ticket at mercuryone.org, you buy 50 tickets if you want to bring, you know, everybody in your church or whatever, you'll be upgraded.

00:40:13.580 Uh, and we will pull a name tomorrow at this time and whenever you bought your tickets for, you can choose, uh, whoever is here.

00:40:22.820 And, uh, you know, if I'm, if I'm here, I think I'm, the last thing I'm doing is July 4th, uh, cause I've got something I have to go to New York for, but David Barton will be here.

00:40:32.680 I'll be here.

00:40:33.500 Stu will be here.

00:40:40.280 And the personal tours are, are really great, but I want you to know I'm going to be here the whole time, uh, starting this Saturday.

00:40:49.140 I'm going to be here every day and I really want to shake your hand.

00:40:52.640 I really want to talk to you.

00:40:54.200 I really want to show you these things.

00:40:56.440 So please come and join us.

00:40:58.280 If you're anywhere in the area or you have the means to be able to fly down, please do.

00:41:03.940 Mercuryone.org is where you'll find all of the information for 12 score and three years ago.

00:41:08.780 The Unfinished Promise of Unity.

00:41:12.000 12 score.

00:41:13.080 Tickets now at MercuryOne.org.

00:41:20.780 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:23.140 He is the host of DIY's, uh, Barnwood Builders.

00:41:40.240 He worked his way through West Virginia University.

00:41:42.860 He was a coal miner, earned a bachelor's degree in business administration.

00:41:47.320 He's also a craftsman, a businessman, a historian, and a passable breakdancer.

00:41:53.760 Uh, he holds a master's degree in safety management from, uh, West Virginia University College of Business.

00:42:00.860 He founded his company, Antique Cabins and Barns, in 95.

00:42:05.220 He expanded that business into what it is today, Barnwood Living.

00:42:09.520 Uh, and they started to make a, uh, documentary film, I believe, about old log cabins.

00:42:17.060 And it turned into what now is a hit, uh, TV show, uh, that I find fascinating.

00:42:24.360 Welcome to the program, Mark.

00:42:26.060 Hey, thank you for having me, Glenn.

00:42:27.620 You, you bet. You bet. Uh, are you surprised by the success of the, the show?

00:42:35.140 I think it's surreal. You know, sometimes we're all in a pickup truck driving down the road and we just look at one another and without saying a word, just bust out in laughter.

00:42:43.440 Right.

00:42:44.080 That, you know, six hillbillies have to see the show and it's real.

00:42:49.040 It's not made up.

00:42:50.360 Right. I know.

00:42:51.740 You know what? I, I'm fascinated by a couple of things.

00:42:55.480 First, I own an, an old log cabin and that's why your name came up, um, is because I'm restoring an 1800s, uh, uh, cabin that, uh, is in Idaho, one of the first settlers.

00:43:07.760 Uh, and, uh, we're expanding it and, and taking it apart has been a nightmare because we're just so, you know, you take out the chinking and the thing almost falls down. 1.00

00:43:19.760 Which, uh, I didn't, I didn't know that that would happen. Uh, you really have to know what you're doing and I don't. Um, but I have been approached. I was stopped by this 80 year old woman in the grocery store. She said, Mr. Beck.

00:43:32.080 And I said, yes. She said, you just bought the property with this, uh, with this 1880s log cabin. I said, yes, ma'am, that is a historic site. And you are, you, what have you done with that cabin? I heard you took that cabin down. And I'm like, no, no, no, we haven't. We haven't. We're restoring it. And she's like, that is a historic site. I'm like, I know.

00:43:51.020 Do you ever get any heat from people on taking these things down? Because they are treasures.

00:43:59.600 They are. Um, well, first of all, I'd like to say that my marketing team, which is, uh, me didn't do a very good job of making ourselves known to you, or we would have taken it down.

00:44:10.760 We would have taken that thing down for you. So I've got to get on the marketing department, which is myself.

00:44:14.860 Well, okay. Well, you have a strong talking to, I honestly, I didn't even think about calling you guys, you know, cause I mean, I'm just a, you know, I'm just doing it myself. I didn't even think about calling you guys. Um, but, but, uh, you know, we just, we just hired a guy to do chinking, which I think somebody should have a problem with the name. I know it's not racist, but it sure sounds racist. Uh, and, uh, there's so few people that I apparently do it right. 0.97

00:44:42.080 But as I'm interviewing this guy, I don't know what to ask. I'm just like, can you put the white stuff in between the logs? And he's like, yeah, you're hired.

00:44:51.260 Yeah. Right. Right. Well, that's how it goes. I think that, uh, to your point earlier there, we do have, and come across some really historic buildings and we try to leave those in place. Um, you know, if it's a first building or it's got, you know, a document of history, the thing to do first is a consultation with the homeowner.

00:45:11.140 Um, and, and, and see if they want to restore it on site. But a lot of times, uh, for example, you know, these bicentennial farms and some of the other things that are, that are, you see in Ohio and Pennsylvania, these, these structures are not a lot for use, um, because farming and lifestyles have changed.

00:45:28.160 So what you're seeing is a lot of dilapidated farms across the country. So I feel like if we're not repurposing these structures, then, then we're going to forget about, you know, this history, because they're going to just rot, you know, they're going to fall over.

00:45:41.680 And, you know, mother nature takes care of enough things like, you know, tornadoes. I've gotten a lot of calls in the last two weeks. So I think, um, you know, we're, we are seeing a lot of the landscape change.

00:45:53.360 They are, and they are beautiful. And as somebody who's, I was just building a fence and taking down an old fence. And, you know, some of these fences were put in with telephone poles.

00:46:04.300 And I have to tell you, if I didn't have power tools, if I didn't have, you know, uh, you know, uh, uh, a backhoe, I don't, I would have stopped. There's no way to do it. I can't believe when you see these old homes that you are taking down, these old barns that are all hand hewn, they are all hand cut.

00:46:26.080 These guys, you cannot walk away from, uh, an old barn or something like that and not walk away with just tremendous amounts of respect for how hard people worked.

00:46:40.220 Man, it's, it's incredible. You think back to the pioneers and you think that they show up in a wagon and, and there's a family and they start cutting down trees and dragging the trees out, you know, with force and then taking a broadax, squaring that, then putting a dovetail notch on it.

00:46:56.080 With a hand saw and, and, and start to stack those logs. And there's so many barns they can down. It's got 10 by 10 beams that are six feet long. And every time we do one, we're just thinking, how in the world did they get here? And who else are we going to hire a tinkering?

00:47:10.640 So, um, so if somebody has a barn, uh, and can they just call you and you'll look into it and, and do you buy these? Are they given to, to restore what, how does this work?

00:47:23.800 Well, you know, we're like any other business, uh, Glenn, we, we like to buy low and sell out. And, and I always say that we're slow, but we're expensive.

00:47:33.100 Yeah.

00:47:34.320 So we, you know, years ago, we used to, um, take them down and clean the site up real well. And, and then over the years, you know, barn has become more popular.

00:47:43.140 And, um, so I buy the barns now and I give, I think I give more than most people do because I understand the history and, you know, it's really hard to purchase somebody when you're buying a family airline.

00:47:54.540 Yeah.

00:47:54.720 And, you know, what's that worth?

00:47:56.020 Right.

00:47:56.260 And that's always a difficult part for, for me as, as a businessman is that, you know, it's not a workout for everybody. So, you know, we, we hadn't got a new barn in a while.

00:48:07.280 Well, uh, Mark, it's good to talk to you and I may take you up in the future on, uh, cause I want to build a, I want to build a barn, but I don't want to build a new one.

00:48:14.420 I'd, I'd like to take an old barn and reclaim it and then, and then shore it back up and rebuild it. I just, I just love these old, uh, structures and you're exactly right.

00:48:25.280 I, this, why I love you is, is you guys are saving history that has just been left to fall apart and it will rot if we don't save them. And they're so cool. They are just so great.

00:48:38.600 Well, you know, I think a lot part of, uh, to the success of our show, um, has to do with the fact that we honor those old time skills and those trades that the pioneers use to build these houses.

00:48:50.500 Yeah.

00:48:50.800 And the other thing about us, we don't, I don't argue, you know, we, we have fun working. It's really hard. And, um, at the end it's, you know, I've got a saying that you work hard behind it and take a ride.

00:49:02.740 And I think if you do those three things, um, you know, it, it, it shows in your work and it shows in your attitude. That's been part of the show.

00:49:11.660 Mark, thank you so much. Good, good talking. What'd you say?

00:49:16.420 Have you ever been in a room with a hillbillies?

00:49:19.160 With a bunch of hillbillies? Uh, no, no, but I did watch, uh, what is it? Lucky Logan or Logan Lucky. I did, I did see that. I did see that. So I've seen Daniel Craig's version of a hillbilly.

00:49:31.700 Okay, good. All right. Good. Good to talk to you, Mark. Thank you so much.
