00:00:09.000 Whenever it hits you, wherever you are,
00:00:11.000 grab an O'Henry bar to satisfy your hunger.
00:00:15.000 With its delicious combination of big, crunchy, salty peanuts
00:00:19.000 covered in creamy caramel and chewy fudge with a chocolatey coating.
00:00:24.000 Swing by a gas station and get an O'Henry today.
00:00:27.000 O'Hungry O'Henry.
00:00:30.000 I think today's theme of the show is, hey, why don't we take a second and think it through?
00:00:36.260 Okay. There's a lot on Mom Donnie that I did on the full show. You're going to have to go

00:01:13.000 what are you doing you guys aren't doing enough i about popped a blood vest uh i mean my aura ring
00:01:19.940 went off and said, are you swimming? I'm like, nope, I'm not doing anything. Nope, I'm just
00:01:24.400 talking about the GOP. But I did burn 112 calories in that 20 minutes that you don't want to miss.
00:01:32.440 Also, the job, the greatest job on earth, you can be wrong at the opposite ends of the spectrum.
00:01:40.680 You can be wrong in this direction and then reverse yourself and say, no, I'm absolutely
00:01:45.320 right this time and then be wrong in that direction um wait until you hear what's causing the heat

00:02:44.620 us. Now let's get to work. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:08.940 Thune the ball-less rhino. 1.00
00:03:15.860 I gotta tell you, 1.00
00:03:17.320 he's not the only ball-less one.
00:03:21.960 Larry Kudlow last night had Senator Lankford on,
00:03:24.520 who's a good guy, nice guy.
00:03:26.380 But he's like, you know, you guys never take on the Democrats.
00:03:29.780 Are you kidding me?
00:03:31.160 We take on the Democrats every day.
00:03:33.480 We take on the Democrats more than you take on the Democrats.
00:03:37.240 So don't start with me on that one.
00:03:38.940 um and then you know it's their fault it's their fault no it's your fault you have the numbers
00:03:44.800 you have the numbers and if you don't then Thune is a ballless rhino how come you guys can get
00:03:51.660 everything that the the GOP voter is against how come you can get that done but when you have 80
00:03:58.780 percent of the GOP behind you somehow or another we just don't have the votes we just don't have
00:04:05.260 the votes you know Mitch McConnell got things done you know how he got things done gee there's
00:04:10.660 a senator up in Maine that needs help with her re-election you know who's not getting a dime
00:04:16.060 the senator from Maine you're not getting a dime on your re-election unless you fold and you help
00:04:23.020 us on this then we'll help you that should have been done months ago but we got a ballless rhino
00:04:28.560 who I am going to award the Nobel Prize to. 0.99
00:04:33.240 I'm making one just for Thune.
00:04:36.640 Now, am I being too pessimistic?
00:04:40.540 I doubt it.
00:04:42.360 But the one person who actually would know,
00:04:46.000 who's been in that septic system,
00:04:49.020 that might know is Rachel Brevard.
00:04:51.300 And she is with us.
00:04:52.240 She is vice president of programs
00:04:54.360 for the Conservative Partnership Institute.
00:04:56.640 She's been on before.
00:04:57.540 saying, you know, don't get your hopes up.
00:05:01.660 Where are we on the SAVE Act?
00:05:03.740 Where are we on this whole thing?
00:05:05.280 Is it going to pass or not, Rachel?
00:05:07.820 Well, just give me pause to choke on the no-ball rhino
00:05:11.120 award that you're creating. 0.88
00:05:13.620 That was made my Friday.
00:05:15.840 Thank you.
00:05:17.260 So, well, what's fascinating about this Save America debate
00:05:20.960 is that, you know, we have John Thune out there saying,
00:05:25.000 well, we don't have 60 votes.
00:05:26.700 We've always needed 60 votes.
00:05:27.900 We don't have 60.
00:05:28.880 You don't.
00:05:30.160 Well, yes, we can get into the procedural leverage that is available to these senators.
00:05:36.400 But what the president has said is, OK, fine.
00:05:39.020 If you're not going to physically impose exhaustion on the filibustering minority, if you're not going to do all of that, then fine.
00:05:48.640 I'm going to try to find a way to give this to you at 51 votes, and I'm going to try to do it through reconciliation.
00:05:54.640 No one's ever tried this before.
00:05:55.900 Donald Trump has said, I do not want this to be some sort of voluntary grant program that you can
00:06:01.240 just get out of. I want this to be, I want this to have teeth. And so he said to the House,
00:06:06.600 pass this. They did. And now he's saying to the Senate, do the same. And you have John Thune who
00:06:11.540 said, well, we don't have 60. We can't pass this. Now saying Donald Trump has given it to him at 51
00:06:16.440 votes because reconciliation passes that way. And John Thune saying, oh, can't do that either.
00:06:20.640 So what he's doing, which is shocking in my mind, is telegraphing his own incompetence.
00:06:25.420 He has 53 Republicans, and they cannot pass at simple majority a reconciliation vehicle.
00:06:29.640 That may – we don't know if it will.
00:06:31.220 We haven't run through the process yet.
00:06:33.020 But he's not even willing to try to make the program as reconcilable as possible to get it through this vehicle.
00:06:39.540 So, Rachel, tell me – because this is where Thune – you're absolutely right.
00:06:44.700 He is telegraphing his own incompetence.
00:06:48.360 Do you remember when they passed the Obamacare bill?
00:06:52.460 I don't remember who it was.
00:06:53.440 he was like pro abortion i mean pro life all of these things he was like dead set against he was
00:06:58.640 a democrat dead set against it and he came out finally and he was crying and he's like okay okay
00:07:04.240 they made a deal with me and i'm gonna pass it i mean where's the strong arm here what what do you
00:07:12.120 have if you can't if you're just like well i've talked to everybody and everybody doesn't then
00:07:16.440 what use are you what use are you you can't make any deal with anyone this gets to the point of
00:07:24.440 what the senate actually is for which is to solve problems and the obamacare example is very
00:07:29.640 instructive because again what the senate provides you as an institution is the ability to leverage
00:07:35.240 the physically grueling process of deliberation and what harry reed did when he passed obamacare
00:07:40.500 people may remember it actually passed in two parts it passed one as part of a reconciliation
00:07:44.820 vehicle, a simple majority. But the second part passed, the major policy of Obamacare passed the
00:07:51.100 Senate in its traditional form, subject to a filibuster. Now, Harry Reid had 60 Democrats,
00:07:57.280 but he didn't have 60 votes. Okay? He had Lieberman, and he had Ben Nelson. He had to
00:08:02.820 chase those votes. And he had Republicans on the other side throwing every possible delay tactic
00:08:08.120 at him. And so what Harry Reid did is he didn't walk around and say, well, I just don't have 60
00:08:11.840 votes. Sorry. He used the institution. I was in D.C. when this happened. He said, we are not going
00:08:17.820 home. You want to obstruct? You want to vote? No, fine. You can do that. But you're going to do it
00:08:22.060 24-7 in the chamber, nights and weekends, and we're not leaving until it stopped. And do you
00:08:27.180 remember when that statutory part of Obamacare passed? It passed on Christmas Eve. Because he
00:08:33.040 leveraged every single opportunity he had to say, fine, you can oppose me, but you are going to
00:08:38.580 physically pay for your opposition this has been how the senate has operated for 200 years
00:08:42.740 except now under john when it cannot do anything yes so what the hell is his problem
00:08:49.740 have you figured that piece out yet what is his deal it's bigger than john thune unfortunately
00:08:56.620 and it is that the conference now has one loyalty and it's to their own comfort right what john
00:09:03.100 thune doesn't want to do is to announce to his conference by the way guys we are going to start
00:09:08.080 doing midnight quorum calls. We're going to start working Fridays, even, or Mondays during the day,
00:09:13.960 things that they never do. If John Thune announces that, his conference is going to whine. They're
00:09:18.300 going to grumble. A lot of them will just go home anyway, and it will be John Thune becomes the
00:09:23.020 enemy of his conference. They have one loyalty, and it's to their own comfort, and that is really
00:09:26.840 hamstringing the Senate because the Senate, again, for 200 years has operated in this deliberate
00:09:31.700 environment, which takes work, and this current Senate works two and a half days a week, Glenn,
00:09:37.200 OK, they work Monday night to Thursday at noon and they go on recess, you know, for weeks.
00:09:42.040 They don't stay in Washington and do this work.
00:09:44.100 And what we are talking about doing, a true deliberative environment where you are dealing with an obstructive minority like you are with the Democrats, it takes work.
00:09:51.720 And these senators simply do not want to do it.
00:09:53.620 So can John Thune as leader, right, show some, you know, small L leadership and say, guys, you know, get in the locker room.
00:10:00.780 I'm going to give you a pep talk.
00:10:01.780 We are doing this.
00:10:03.000 Yes, he could do that, but he's chosen not to.
00:10:04.760 But the problem is bigger than John Thune. Honestly, it's the entire Republican conference outside of a few doesn't want to put in the work.
00:10:11.820 That's that's totally fine. But it takes a leader to say, I don't give a flying crap. 0.99
00:10:17.600 You're staying. You're staying. It takes a leader who's willing to take the arrows and the slings and the bruises and say, go ahead, punch me again. 0.99
00:10:27.080 i'm not going anywhere it's going to end up between you and me and i know i'm not going
00:10:32.560 anywhere so we're doing it that's what a leader does john thune has absolute i would 0.99
00:10:40.820 he doesn't need hormone therapy he's already a woman he has absolutely no balls um tell me why 0.98
00:10:50.200 he's not doing the reconciliation thing what is his excuse on the reconciliation thing 0.97
00:10:54.500 Well, it's that his conference does not want to do another voterama before the midterms.
00:11:02.720 And if people are familiar with this process, it's an unlimited amendment process in the
00:11:06.120 Senate.
00:11:07.120 Now, debate is limited under reconciliation, but amending is not.
00:11:09.960 So ironically, the objection to the talking filibuster is, oh my gosh, they can offer
00:11:13.960 unlimited amendments.
00:11:14.960 Well, every budget resolution and every reconciliation vehicle also comes with an unlimited amendment
00:11:20.060 process.
00:11:21.060 Now what happens is that, you know, Democrats think they can offer a bunch of poison pills.
00:11:25.420 They have already done this, right?
00:11:26.920 The Senate has already been through multiple voteramas.
00:11:29.040 I don't personally think Democrats have any new ideas that they haven't already forced
00:11:32.380 Republicans to vote on.
00:11:33.980 But these are grueling exercises.
00:11:35.540 They go, you know, into 4 a.m., 5 a.m., they go all night, but then they're over.
00:11:40.680 The Senate does simply just does not want to do that.
00:11:44.200 And you know, if you believe Thune, there's also substantive objections to the bill.
00:11:47.780 You have the farmers who are getting billions of dollars.
00:11:49.860 They want more.
00:11:50.900 have the defense hawks who are getting billions of dollars. They also want more. So there's a
00:11:55.240 number of those issues as well. Thune has said, I would prefer to take that budget resolution
00:12:00.540 coming over from the House, carve out the substance and replace it with a CR, with a
00:12:05.900 government funding bill. I can't take these CRs anymore. We have no government. If you're just
00:12:15.640 continuing resolution you have no government you have it's just a giant blob of money out there 0.94
00:12:22.040 and we haven't made a single damn decision since 2008 these people are worthless they're worth at 0.65
00:12:29.180 least the leadership is worthless you know i have senators who call me and say i can't i don't even 0.96
00:12:34.920 know why i'm here anymore we don't actually do anything this is a deliberative body we don't do
00:12:40.080 anything why am i wasting my time here and i'm running out of reasons for them to stay i really
00:12:45.340 No, it really what you've hit on the current state of the Senate, it's it's an existential threat to the Senate itself, because I think you have a number of senators who are rightly asking that question.
00:12:56.740 What do what do I even do? It's funny.
00:12:58.920 You know, I talk a lot about the Senate to various groups in Washington.
00:13:02.900 And I talk about when senators were titans, when they moved history, when senators, states and they really honestly there were times where senators were more famous than presidents because they were more powerful than presidents in many ways.
00:13:13.940 and they wielded power with dignity and authority.
00:13:17.340 And you have a Senate now
00:13:18.540 that is literally run like an adult daycare.
00:13:21.080 You know exactly when you're going to vote,
00:13:22.860 you know exactly when you're going to have lunch
00:13:24.240 and you know exactly when you're going to go home.
00:13:26.220 And for all of the remaining time,
00:13:28.240 you sit on your carpet square
00:13:29.460 and sip on your juice box
00:13:30.960 and wait to be told by the leadership
00:13:32.160 what's next.
00:13:32.460 That's so true.
00:13:33.560 That is exactly right.
00:13:35.480 Yeah, that is not what the Senate is for, right?
00:13:37.740 A senator, and the more it behaves that way
00:13:40.860 as an institution,
00:13:41.720 the quality of senators are going to go down
00:13:43.500 Because why would any respectable member of society want to put themselves through that?
00:13:47.560 But two, you're also at a critical point in the conference where members have never seen a Senate that operates any differently.
00:13:53.560 They don't know how to aspire to what the Senate used to be.
00:13:56.200 And so I do think we are at a very dangerous point, a tipping point for the Senate, where it's either going to save itself or it's going to continue into this complete irrelevance and decline.
00:14:05.420 So what's Trump's move here?
00:14:07.740 What's next?
00:14:08.300 Well, Trump has said in clear terms, you're starting to see him throw hands at John Thune,
00:14:13.940 which he hasn't done before, you know, and to say to him, look, this is unacceptable.
00:14:18.560 I think it's time, it seems as though Trump is starting to realize that the Senate Republican
00:14:24.060 conference is actually the problem.
00:14:26.160 He's talked about the filibuster being the problem and the parliamentarian being the
00:14:28.820 problem and those are foils.
00:14:31.000 Those are proxies for what the actual problem is, which is the conference itself.
00:14:34.760 So Donald Trump cannot force the Senate to pass legislation, but he is the leader of
00:14:39.960 the Republican Party, and he has a lot of power at his disposal.
00:14:43.060 So I think he can try to make life painful for these senators in a way that he really
00:14:46.660 hasn't.
00:14:47.160 I hope he doesn't have to do that.
00:14:48.880 I hope the Republicans continue to submit terms.
00:14:51.780 But you have a situation now where the Senate has given its members nothing to run on, right?
00:14:57.300 Donald Trump is trying to help them.
00:14:58.640 He's trying to save them from themselves and say, just give the voters something to
00:15:02.100 show up for.
00:15:02.980 Nobody remembers what you've done.
00:15:04.180 they remember what you're doing. So, you know, I think you're going to start to see more pressure
00:15:08.860 from this white house against the Senate than I think you've seen before. And it's over. Well,
00:15:12.580 but what they're going to say, what they're going to say when they get home is I'm, I'm on your
00:15:15.900 side. I'm on your side. We just need this election. If we can just get a few more, then we'll have
00:15:21.920 the power to do. I'm so sick of that excuse. And I don't think it's going to, I don't think it's
00:15:25.940 going to uh you know be bought by anybody in america i i really think gop voters have shown
00:15:34.080 their they've tipped their hand they've shown we're done with you guys we're done john thune
00:15:39.240 good luck on your next um your next election it can't come fast enough and feel free to stop by
00:15:48.020 at any time we're in the same area i'm out in the mountain west too john you can stop by and get 0.92
00:15:53.380 your no ball prize anytime it's beautiful it's beautiful you can hang it where your balls should
00:15:59.500 be anyway um rachel thank you so much i appreciate you being on with us i'm sorry that it it just ran
00:16:06.900 into this um but uh i'm in no mood for those always happy to be here and you're very welcome
00:16:12.640 all right thanks you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:16:23.380 Let me start with James Carvel.
00:16:25.280 You know, James Carvel, the guy who proves that there is alien life.
00:16:32.760 James Carvel, telling the Dems what they should do with voter ID.
00:16:40.840 Cut three.
00:16:42.000 We are not going to win the war against some kind of ID. 1.00
00:16:47.220 It doesn't make any sense. 1.00
00:16:48.820 It doesn't fix anything.
00:16:50.900 but maybe you just go along with it and move to the next thing.
00:16:54.560 Of all the things, people, if every poll shows 75 or better,
00:17:00.440 say we should have some kind of an ID to vote.
00:17:04.320 Some say, I don't know what it is, but just quit fighting it
00:17:07.660 and go along with it and move to the next thing.
00:17:12.380 That's James Carville.
00:17:17.160 Space alien.
00:17:18.560 even from i guess he's in bed i i don't know who he's in bed with probably some socialists
00:17:27.280 but he's in bed doing the interview from bed the space alien
00:17:32.340 saying just do this people are for it saying that to the democrats
00:17:40.020 but then the baldness rhino just can't get it done now the president has given him several
00:17:48.760 different ways to do it but he just can't get it done because he just doesn't have the votes
00:17:53.520 what is your job your job is to whip the votes your job is to get it done your job is not you're
00:18:02.520 not the accountant you're not the one that's like i counted we don't have votes your job is
00:18:09.900 to get the votes your job is to make deals this is the one time that you're not doing a backroom 0.99
00:18:18.980 deal this is the one time where you're not negotiating with somebody okay the damn guy he 0.98
00:18:24.460 wants a bridge in his town named after him and it's going to cost us a billion dollars to build 0.88
00:18:30.060 this is the one time that you're like no we're not gonna do anything like that that would just
00:18:38.020 be wrong oh my gosh now listen to larry kudlow talking to a good guy senator langford listen to
00:18:52.100 this i'm sorry you had to bear the front of that uh opening but i'm telling you right now you the
00:18:59.020 leadership in both houses are bungling everything sir i say that with all due respect and we are
00:19:05.940 personal friends it's not but you're bungling everything nothing is getting done your messaging
00:19:11.500 is non-existent you've lost your swag your swagger your riz or whatever the young people say
00:19:17.540 no one knows what the heck you're doing sir they have no idea yeah you're welcome and this is part
00:19:23.700 of the challenge we've got with all of our media friends out there that continue to be able to beat
00:19:27.140 up on Republicans and say, Republicans are all the problem. Stop. Stop. What does he do?
00:19:36.580 He immediately says, you're welcome. Taking a shiv into our chest. Yeah, you're welcome. 0.88
00:19:48.640 Okay. And then his first, sorry, his set, his first reaction is to shiv. His second reaction
00:19:55.920 is to say, that's the problem with all our media friends.
00:20:00.200 That's the problem with all our media friends.
00:20:02.700 They just won't talk about the good things we do.
00:20:05.160 Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
00:20:06.740 I will open up three hours.
00:20:09.120 I'll give you three solid hours.
00:20:11.080 You tell me the good things you have done in the last year.
00:20:18.780 Tell it to me.
00:20:20.360 I want to hear about all of the things that you've done to pass,
00:20:24.260 All of the great things that are just life-changing for the average American.
00:20:31.220 Well, we did that one bill, you know, the great something, big, big-ass bill, something that we did that one.
00:20:43.860 Uh-huh.
00:20:45.920 Okay, we've got two hours and 58 minutes left.
00:20:50.260 Tell me what you have done.
00:20:54.260 Well, I'd like to, but nobody in our side will ever, I would love to talk about all the good
00:21:02.220 things that you've done. I'd love to talk about how you have codified things. So when the next
00:21:07.440 jerk gets in, he doesn't just say, yeah, all of those executive orders, they're all gone. 0.99
00:21:12.680 I'd love to talk about that. You haven't done any of it because you haven't done any of it.
00:21:20.960 the president has had to do all of the heavy lifting all of it you are like the friend
00:21:28.200 you you are you honestly you're like me good good friend good good friend but you call me
00:21:35.540 and you're like glenn we're moving this weekend can you come over lift boxes no no not gonna be
00:21:41.440 that's who you are that's who you are okay and everybody understands it when it's a saturday
00:21:48.420 you're moving your friend you're like no not gonna do that nobody is with you on this nobody is with
00:21:57.060 you oh yeah you're trying to save the country nah i'm busy i'm i'm working two days this week
00:22:07.180 i really just don't have the time you know i get in here on a monday night and then i have to work
00:22:13.480 all day tuesday then i have to work all day wednesday when i say work i mean you know i talk
00:22:19.080 to people you know a walk around we have lunch then we go to dinner i meet with donors so i can
00:22:25.680 get re-elected but then by by wednesday i am wiped out and then i got to get onto a plane on thursday
00:22:33.680 and go home and i'm only home thursday friday saturday sunday monday and then i got to do it
00:22:40.540 all over again starting next Tuesday. Oh, my life is such a hell. Nobody relates to you. Nobody.
00:22:48.200 Nobody feels sorry for you. Everybody is waiting. We want to cheer you on. You've given us zero
00:22:56.560 reason. And it's not because we can't see it. It's because you're not doing it. Now, I'm sorry.
00:23:05.080 I got into the first two sentences, which I didn't even plan on talking to. My real problem
00:23:10.240 is still yet to come go ahead play the rest of this friends out there that are continuing to
00:23:15.920 be able to beat up on republicans and say republicans are all the problem but apparently
00:23:19.580 the socialist democrats in new york city they seem to be perfect because most conservative
00:23:24.480 media right now is beating up on republicans and just ignoring the socialists stop stop
00:23:30.680 Stop. I've never believed in lizard people. I think the guy might be a lizard. I think he might 0.99
00:23:46.020 be a lizard. That is the most reasonable explanation on how this guy is arriving.
00:23:53.780 He blinks sideways. It's the only way he could be seeing the world this way is he's a lizard
00:23:59.000 person what are you talking about no but the socialists in new york they're great because no
00:24:04.340 no nobody on uh on media and media for the conservatives are even talking about mom donnie
00:24:11.000 i know when i heard him say the stuff in new york the socialists i'm like what socialist in new york
00:24:16.040 i don't even know what you're talking about i just did an hour and a half out of a three-hour show
00:24:21.380 i've probably done half of my monologues this week have been on socialism yeah we're not covering
00:24:28.860 that at all. We're just beating up on, you know what? You know who I haven't beaten up on this
00:24:32.980 week? Republicans. Because I really thought the hammer of Donald Trump would be a big enough
00:24:39.360 hammer that maybe you'd go, oh, screw with him. Oh, Donald Trump, please unleash. Please unleash. 0.95
00:24:48.080 Please, please. An eye for a head. Let's use that metaphorically speaking. Please start taking
00:24:56.940 these guys on this is absolutely it's shameful it's shameful all right go ahead so what else
00:25:05.960 excuse what other excuse does he have ignoring the socialists who are running rampant all over
00:25:10.880 the country so i look back on what what happened with the one big beautiful bill look at the
00:25:15.060 housing bill we just passed there's a lot of things that are going on that are good and i
00:25:19.620 understand nobody has attacked mandami more than i have for heaven's sakes i wasn't saying that just
00:25:25.380 about you. I was saying this is the challenge that we're up against right now. What is it that
00:25:29.840 your policy is? Senator Lightford, my friend, what is your policy? Where are the tax cuts?
00:25:36.680 Where are the spending cuts? Where's the waste fraud and corruption reduction? Where is all of
00:25:42.240 that? Where is the reconciliation bill? Where's the straight talk and messaging for the midterms?
00:25:48.360 Where's the growth messaging? Where's the we're going to make it better for taxpayers and working
00:25:53.300 folks messaging come on senator well he did it i mean he told you he told you the big beautiful
00:26:02.420 bill that we just passed his time collapsed is senator is senator langford okay is he going is
00:26:11.380 he experiencing time collapse where he just thinks he did that yesterday not a year and a half ago
00:26:17.920 we just passed the big beautiful that's the only thing anybody could ever quote
00:26:23.360 because that's the only thing you can only quote that come up with anything other than the big
00:26:30.140 beautiful bill you can't and how hard was it to get the big beautiful bill donald trump had to
00:26:35.440 hammer all of you on the head it wouldn't have happened if donald trump hadn't done your job as
00:26:41.400 Well, big, beautiful.
00:26:44.580 I'm not done yet.
00:26:45.780 I'm going to take a little sip of water.
00:26:53.340 Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:26:58.900 Are you out of your mind, Senator Langford? 1.00
00:27:05.740 do you really think we're this stupid 1.00
00:27:11.700 you guys if you were in there every week and you're like we're staying here till we're getting 1.00
00:27:21.560 this done and you failed but you stayed there for a month and you didn't go home and you were taking
00:27:28.460 midnight roll calls and you were voting and you were working hard and you didn't get it done
00:27:33.900 we'd be on your side you're not working at all larry is asking you what is your strategy
00:27:41.740 well you know nobody's taking on the socialist you know who's not taking on the socialist
00:27:46.580 you by not doing by not doing anything by not by not passing simple simple bills
00:27:57.320 not not clearing the way for people to actually get into business you know not taking on the fraud
00:28:07.120 not doing just nothing but a committee and then never ever getting anybody to the point to where
00:28:14.020 you can have them arrested or go to jail you know what we're tired of it we're tired of the show
00:28:19.660 because that's all you are is a show some of us don't want a show we want a country
00:28:25.460 when you decide to save the country let us know we'll be there for you until then until then i got 0.99
00:28:35.080 no time for you no time you're not my friend you are my representative do your damn job you're 0.97
00:28:43.180 listening to the best of glenn beck need a little more check out the full show podcast anywhere you 0.99
00:28:48.260 download podcasts my aura ring just asked are you swimming no i'm talking about politics
00:28:54.540 and the save act that's what i'm doing right now um
00:28:58.500 but now i got to talk to you about this this this this this this story will boggle your mind
00:29:07.720 will boggle your mind study has come out in the geophysical research letters this week
00:29:14.720 with an explanation on why Europe is so hot.
00:29:21.180 Now, why do you think?
00:29:23.060 Why do you think?
00:29:23.640 Ricky, do you know the answer to this?
00:29:25.180 If you do, I don't want you to answer.
00:29:27.080 If you don't know the answer to this, take a guess.
00:29:29.560 What is your guess on why it's so hot?
00:29:34.540 I can't hear her now.
00:29:35.960 I don't know why.
00:29:36.880 She there?
00:29:38.020 Okay.
00:29:38.860 I don't know if anybody else heard her.
00:29:39.960 I couldn't hear her.
00:29:40.800 I'm guessing you said what?
00:29:42.800 Say it again.
00:29:43.400 Let me see if I can read your lips.
00:29:43.920 Something brilliant?
00:29:44.280 I said something really brilliant.
00:29:47.300 Okay.
00:29:48.200 What did you say?
00:29:49.260 What is it?
00:29:49.780 Really, what is it that you think is?
00:29:52.880 I know the answer because I get the morning brief newsletter every morning at 8.30 a.m. Eastern.
00:29:57.580 All right.
00:29:57.920 But I'm not going to give it away.
00:29:59.820 Okay.
00:30:00.520 All right.
00:30:01.420 All right.
00:30:02.320 I would guess it's global warming.
00:30:05.220 Right?
00:30:05.620 Global warming. 0.95
00:30:07.060 Why is global warming?
00:30:08.680 Because of pollution. 0.98
00:30:10.100 We just aren't doing enough for pollution.
00:30:11.620 here's what the study came out and said it's not the pollution it's the lack of pollution
00:30:22.160 europe has cut its sulfate emissions by roughly 80 percent over the last 30 years
00:30:32.120 acid rain rules low sulfur fuel standards scrubbers on smokestacks uh and all kinds of
00:30:38.980 things we were told to do it we were strong-armed to do it we were penalized if we didn't do it
00:30:45.680 we were called horrible human beings if we thought this isn't really what the deal is
00:30:51.380 and one of the study authors told the telegraph that since 1980 europe now has warmed about one
00:30:59.080 degree more than the rest of the northern hemisphere and 1.5 degrees more than the global
00:31:05.380 average and that's most most of that is traced back to cleaning the air
00:31:14.680 how do i get a job where i can be that wrong that public about it and get a bigger budget
00:31:31.120 I want to know.
00:31:32.180 I really do.
00:31:33.580 Okay?
00:31:34.640 By the way, the physics in this study, 242 years old.
00:31:38.800 And you know who figured it out?
00:31:40.260 A guy with a freaking magnifying glass. 0.97
00:31:42.720 You know what his name was? 0.98
00:31:43.880 Benjamin Franklin.
00:31:45.880 It's June 1783.
00:31:48.420 There's a fissure that opens up in the Icelandic highlands.
00:31:53.540 And all kinds of, you know, toxic gas spews out of this.
00:31:58.000 Okay?
00:31:58.240 Spends eight months venting.
00:31:59.740 the largest lava flow of the last thousand years.
00:32:02.820 And there's a haze that drifts across Europe
00:32:05.060 and they called it a dry fog
00:32:07.440 and the crops withered and livestock died
00:32:09.980 and Iceland, a quarter of the population died, okay?
00:32:14.160 Ben Franklin was in Paris that summer.
00:32:16.700 He just signed the Treaty of Paris
00:32:18.060 and he noticed, wow, the sun looks wrong.
00:32:21.220 So he takes out a magnifying glass
00:32:23.900 and he focuses the sunbeam like you used to do
00:32:27.040 probably when you were a kid.
00:32:28.460 You take a leaf and you focus the magnifying glass and you set the leaf on fire, okay?
00:32:34.160 But he found that the light was so weak, it wouldn't, let me quote him, wouldn't scarce
00:32:40.720 kindle brown paper, okay?
00:32:44.160 So in December of 1784, he writes for the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society.
00:32:52.360 and he writes a paper and he calls it meteorological imaginations and conjectures okay
00:33:01.540 what's his conclusion his conclusion is the haze is blocking the sunlight the ground froze early
00:33:09.380 the snow never really melted and that's why winter has been so brutal brutal sulfur in the air cools
00:33:16.480 the ground. Benjamin Franklin, 1784. No satellite, no supercomputer, just a piece of glass and a scrap
00:33:25.440 of brown paper, okay? Now, July 1971, Science Magazine publishes some, you know, two boneheads 0.71
00:33:36.700 from Goddard, NASA Goddard, okay? They're finding that is that quadruple the aerosols in the
00:33:43.960 atmosphere, and you'll drop global surface temperature by three and a half degrees.
00:33:49.520 They say it's going to be sufficient enough to trigger an ice age.
00:33:54.240 So wait, they're just saying the science that we already know from Ben Franklin, who only
00:33:59.320 had a leaf at a magnifying glass.
00:34:02.300 April 28, 1975, Newsweek runs The Cooling World.
00:34:07.280 Earth's climate is cooling.
00:34:09.400 Food production is about to collapse.
00:34:11.220 the drop could begin quite soon perhaps only 10 years from now we can be in an ice age i grew up
00:34:18.180 in this era i remember all this crap the wheat belts of canada and the soviet union india pakistan 0.94
00:34:23.460 bangladesh they're all going to be gone we're all going to be dead we're all that it's we're all 0.98
00:34:28.500 going to be frozen to death woolly mammoths will be roving the earth again and they'll be impaling 0.99
00:34:33.860 you with their big tusks the melting ice cap it's not melting it's growing in fact it's so big what
00:34:40.580 we should do is this was an actual scientific trick take black soot and put it all sprinkle it
00:34:48.820 i don't know how many bags we need but sprinkle the black soot all over the polar ice cap because
00:34:54.140 the black would attract and hold in the heat and so we'd melt the polar ice cap good thing we didn't
00:34:59.840 do that huh that's 10 years from 1975 to 1985 in that 10 years world grain production more than
00:35:08.400 doubled uh the un's food agency has this year global cereal harvest at a record of 2.96 billion
00:35:18.040 tons and the wheel continues to turn and nobody nobody notices nobody notices march 20 2000
00:35:24.920 independent of london snow paul snow falls are just a thing of the past we're not gonna have
00:35:30.840 any more snow oh my gosh david veiner he's from the climate research whatever he says
00:35:41.940 winter snow is going to become rare and an exciting event children just aren't going to
00:35:48.680 know what snow is february 22 2004 the observer obtains a pentagon commission report major
00:35:56.840 European cities under rising seas. Britain is going to be plunged into a Siberian climate
00:36:04.680 by 2020. Nuclear conflict by 2020 over water. The threat, the paper said, vastly, vastly bigger
00:36:13.340 than terrorism. 2007, the IPCC's fourth assessment report states the Himalayan glaciers are going to
00:36:21.120 be gone by 2035. The source turned out to be a World Wildlife Fund pamphlet, which got it from
00:36:28.660 a magazine interview, which was one glaciologist speculating out loud. The panel expressed regret
00:36:38.260 when none of this stuff happened. December 2009, Copenhagen, Al Gore tells the conference there's
00:36:43.840 a 75% chance the entire North Polar ice cap
00:36:47.660 will be ice-free within five to seven years.
00:36:51.880 Check your calendar.
00:36:53.400 Not happening.
00:36:55.280 The scientist that he cited said publicly
00:36:58.180 he had no idea where the number came from.
00:37:00.340 He would never estimate likelihood like that, okay?
00:37:04.000 Last September, Arctic minimum came in
00:37:06.500 around 4.6 million square kilometers.
00:37:09.520 That was the 13th consecutive year
00:37:12.260 without a new record low, the record is still belonging to 2012. And here we are, let me take
00:37:20.800 one more step, 2020, when the International Maritime Organization cut the sulfur allowed
00:37:26.180 in ship fuel from 3.5 to half a percent. Sulfur dioxide from global shipping fell about 80%
00:37:33.820 overnight. Researchers writing in Communication Earth and Environment in 2024 called it what it
00:37:40.500 was an inadvertent geoengineering termination shock and estimated it could double the warming
00:37:48.240 rate of this decade compared to the rate since 1980 so we ran a planetary experiment on the
00:37:56.960 entire ocean without hearing without without a hearing without a vote without anyone in position
00:38:03.460 of authority saying out loud what Benjamin Franklin knew in 1784.
00:38:15.760 I mean, where do we, honestly, where do we, where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?
00:38:23.120 it's not the science that is a scandal it's the arrogance that is we took the pollution out
00:38:38.500 and now because we might get a 0.5 to one point change in the temperature
00:38:46.740 so we take the we we take the sulfur out we clean up the air and now they're saying well
00:38:55.460 that could give us a one point or 1.5 increase in temperature in a decade
00:39:04.180 every one of these headlines came attached to a demand to a treaty to a tax a mandate a deadline
00:39:11.900 a thing you have to give up, by Tuesday, don't eat meat, for the love of God, just don't eat
00:39:16.520 another hamburger. Not one of them came attached to a sentence a scientist is really supposedly
00:39:23.280 saying. And this is what they should say. This is our best estimate, and we could be wrong.
00:39:31.360 Good chance we're wrong. Franklin titled his paper, think of this, Imaginations and Conjectures.
00:39:40.120 That's a man telling you exactly how much weight to put in on his work.
00:39:45.000 He was right and still labeled it, I don't know, I could be wrong, a guess.
00:39:52.600 The modern version doesn't label anything a guess.
00:39:55.360 It labels dissent.
00:40:00.980 I mean, we've been here before.
00:40:03.200 1784, a man in Paris holds up a piece of glass,
00:40:06.780 watches the light fail to catch brown paper on fire
00:40:10.780 and told the world,
00:40:12.240 I have an idea, but I'm probably wrong.
00:40:15.020 Two and a half centuries later,
00:40:16.700 we have satellites, supercomputers,
00:40:18.920 100,000 credentialed experts.
00:40:21.900 And the one word we've lost
00:40:24.160 is the one that Franklin put in his title.
00:40:27.000 I got to tell you,
00:40:28.260 there are days I would love to have a job like that.
00:40:32.300 I mean, I would love to be,
00:40:34.040 I'd have to be willing to be wrong in public
00:40:36.740 twice in opposite directions and call it settled both times and then never apologize for it
00:40:46.800 and possibly set Europe on fire. You know, there's times I'd really like to have a job like
00:40:53.900 that. And then I think, nope, I don't have the stomach for it. I'm not that evil. I wouldn't
00:40:57.980 have the stomach to be able to do that. It would bother me too much. None of these scientists are
00:41:05.820 bothered by any of this stuff they'll just go on and say their next thing is absolutely right
