The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Bill Jones & Elizabeth Johnston ｜ 2⧸20⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters, a lot going on today. 0.99

00:00:02.100 We're going to start with your grandparents having sex. 0.98

00:00:05.260 I mean, it's that uncomfortable. 0.99

00:00:06.620 It's Bernie Sanders and his dirty, I mean, almost like Penthouse Forum article from 1972.

00:00:13.240 It's really quite disturbing.

00:00:16.380 Then, the person that has beaten the Beatles and having the top three songs, one, two, and three, on the Billboard charts at once.

00:00:27.900 Beatles are the only ones that have done it until now.

00:00:31.020 Of course, we all know who that is.

00:00:33.520 Oh, you'd guess it right away without us even telling you.

00:00:36.740 A really amazing story about a woman who lost her husband.

00:00:41.980 Three children now don't have a father due to a gunman in an office.

00:00:47.120 Wait until you hear her response, and we kind of want to really make her day.

00:00:50.420 And when it comes to the Second Amendment, we should point out as well, tonight on television, there is a show about the new way the left is trying to undermine the Second Amendment.

00:00:59.540 It's not one they've tried in the past.

00:01:02.940 Glenn, you've hinted to it before.

00:01:04.820 But it's something that they're doing in the world of finance that is trying to take away your Second Amendment rights.

00:01:10.360 That's on tonight at 5 p.m. Eastern on Glenn's TV show.

00:01:13.960 You can get it at blazetv.com slash Beck.

00:01:17.820 And the promo code is Beck.

00:01:18.720 We'll save you $10.

00:01:19.240 And it's well worth subscribing to and learning.

00:01:22.960 Nobody else is really talking about this.

00:01:24.920 I've been talking about it for two years, saying it was coming.

00:01:27.380 And lo and behold, here it is.

00:01:29.180 Also, we talked to Elizabeth Johnston about her day of mourning and something really important.

00:01:38.520 Ocasio-Cortez wearing out her welcome.

00:01:41.620 You will actually feel bad for Ocasio-Cortez when I finish this story.

00:01:46.400 Because you're going to see how the Democrats are actually using her. 0.95

00:01:51.300 And it is for the fundamental transformation of America.

00:01:56.020 And if we don't know about it and we're not paying attention, it will happen in 2020.

00:02:00.560 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:11.320 Let me tell you, our sponsor of this half hour, our spotlight is Home Title Lock.

00:02:20.500 I love Home Title Lock.

00:02:22.280 This is something that we all really, really believe in.

00:02:24.900 Because there is only one company that actually stands at the guard, at the gate, if you will, of this new digital world.

00:02:33.580 Where when your title has to be changed, your house is sold, your title comes in digitally and goes to one central vault that keeps all of the titles.

00:02:41.900 So when it comes in and out of that vault, if you have Home Title Lock, they're watching it and going, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:02:49.020 The Beck's wanted to know.

00:02:51.220 Did you just sell your house for 50 cents?

00:02:53.300 Yeah.

00:02:53.980 Because that's a hard choice.

00:02:55.480 Yeah.

00:02:55.940 Because then they call.

00:02:57.360 Are you selling your house?

00:02:58.560 No.

00:02:59.480 Okay.

00:02:59.940 Somebody's committing title fraud on you.

00:03:01.840 This is the fastest growing crime, according to the FBI.

00:03:05.320 Really bad.

00:03:06.660 Get a free check on whether or not this has already happened to you.

00:03:10.420 Go to HomeTitleLock.com.

00:03:12.540 HomeTitleLock.com.

00:03:13.540 Do it now.

00:03:14.540 Bernie Sanders, he knows people, don't you think?

00:03:16.960 I mean, he is one with the people.

00:03:19.940 He's almost a mind reader, I feel like.

00:03:22.760 Right?

00:03:23.360 You read this article.

00:03:24.740 If he were to open up a shop where he read palms, maybe tarot cards.

00:03:31.400 Yeah, he would be.

00:03:32.140 He might be able to afford multiple vacation homes.

00:03:37.180 He's like, he'd be that rich.

00:03:38.400 No, he already has that.

00:03:40.420 He had multiple more vacations.

00:03:42.440 Okay, okay, okay.

00:03:43.460 All right.

00:03:44.000 So, Bernie Sanders.

00:03:44.960 Now, remember, this is at a time where if you did anything in the past, if you dressed

00:03:52.260 up with blackface in 1980, you're in trouble. 0.99

00:03:58.120 Right.

00:03:58.260 Even if you did it and not, you did it as to, in your mind, in 1980, compliment Michael

00:04:03.820 Jackson as a Halloween costume.

00:04:05.580 You're in trouble.

00:04:06.560 You're in trouble.

00:04:07.180 Big trouble.

00:04:07.600 Well, you're thrown out of office.

00:04:08.560 Right.

00:04:08.820 Well, no.

00:04:09.660 You're a Democrat, so you're not thrown out of office.

00:04:11.620 But you're targeted for being thrown out of office.

00:04:12.700 You're targeted for being thrown out of office if you cause any trouble.

00:04:16.140 Republicans will seize on it.

00:04:17.620 That will happen.

00:04:18.520 That's what will happen.

00:04:19.720 They'll seize on it.

00:04:20.700 On the blackface.

00:04:21.640 Right.

00:04:21.840 Now, eight years prior to that, not a problem.

00:04:27.160 So, the line is 1980?

00:04:28.780 Well, in Bernie Sanders' case.

00:04:30.800 Okay.

00:04:31.100 And it's not blackface.

00:04:32.300 And maybe that's the catch.

00:04:33.380 He didn't do blackface.

00:04:34.440 He instead wrote this in an editorial.

00:04:39.060 A man goes home, and I'm going to clean this up because it's, I can't read it on air.

00:04:43.500 Yeah, this is one if you're bringing your kids to school or picking them up or doing, you might want to turn this one off.

00:04:49.960 A man comes, this is beautiful.

00:04:53.340 This is so relatable.

00:04:54.500 It is poetry.

00:04:55.320 A man goes home and pleasures himself. 0.98

00:04:58.540 His typical fantasy.

00:05:00.460 A woman on her knees. 0.96

00:05:02.200 A woman tied up. 1.00

00:05:03.720 A woman abused.

00:05:06.440 Who are this guy's friends?

00:05:08.060 Yeah, you know, maybe I'm out of step with the typical fantasies, but that's not my typical fantasy.

00:05:17.140 And that's a two-parter.

00:05:18.120 You are, I'm sure, out of step with the typical fantasies.

00:05:21.920 Well, let me talk to you about my fantasy.

00:05:23.820 Okay, here's my fantasy. 0.98

00:05:24.840 And I don't, I mean, I know this is like watching Grandma and Grandpa have sex, but let me just tell you about my typical fantasy. 0.92

00:05:30.960 I have this fantasy, and I think this is typical of most people, where, you know, a guy comes home, and he's, he's, when he gets home, he can really just let loose, and he commits genocide on a race. 0.99

00:05:47.240 Any race, doesn't matter, as long as it's not the white race. 0.99

00:05:49.720 Okay. 1.00

00:05:50.080 And, and he kills, he starts with women, and they can be of any color, but he doesn't kill, he kills them. 0.99

00:05:57.420 Did you see The Hobbit? 0.99

00:05:58.240 I call this my Hobbit fantasy.

00:06:00.520 You take, starting with women, you go up to Mount Doom, and you go right to that, you know, that precipice where, you know, Frodo and, and, and, you know, Gollum were wrestling, and Gollum fell into it. 1.00

00:06:14.640 I saw that, and I started to pleasure myself a few times just on Gollum, and then I thought, wouldn't it be better if it was a woman or someone of a different race, you know? 0.58

00:06:24.040 Because they fall into the lava, and you can see them, oh my gosh, you can see them melt.

00:06:30.340 Oh, I gotta stop talking about it, or I'm just gonna get too excited.

00:06:34.220 But I think that's what we all think as men.

00:06:37.380 I'm gonna change my answer.

00:06:38.560 You actually are in step with Bernie Sanders and his fantasies.

00:06:42.440 That's crazy.

00:06:43.160 Yeah.

00:06:43.480 Because he describes them in depth.

00:06:46.940 Right.

00:06:47.280 So that's a man's fantasy. 0.98

00:06:49.360 A woman on her knees, tied up, a woman abused.

00:06:53.700 I don't think that's men's fantasies, abusing women.

00:06:57.220 I don't know who thinks like that.

00:07:00.620 There's a few.

00:07:01.500 They're mostly in Hollywood.

00:07:02.580 You saw them with a hashtag, Me Too, next to their names a bunch of times over the past couple years.

00:07:06.740 Okay.

00:07:06.980 A woman, and now he goes on to explain women. 0.86

00:07:09.240 Now he's probably right in line with women, typically women. 0.98

00:07:12.600 Bernie Sanders, I mean, you want to talk ladies, man. 0.97

00:07:15.040 You want to talk about a guy who just knows the fairer sex.

00:07:18.820 Just look at him.

00:07:19.620 Oh, man, it's Bernie Sanders. 1.00

00:07:21.500 So he says, a woman enjoys sexual relations with her man as she fantasized being raped by three men simultaneously. 1.00

00:07:31.240 Yeah. 1.00

00:07:31.960 Yeah.

00:07:32.500 I know my wife is always, she's like, man, have we just had two more guys that were taking me forcefully?

00:07:38.560 No, I don't think so.

00:07:39.940 No, and just to remind you, we're talking about the words, the actual words written by a young man named Bernard Sanders.

00:07:48.520 He was a young man of 85 at the time in 1972.

00:07:52.740 This is a guy who is running for president.

00:07:54.680 He's probably the front runner right now in the Democratic Party.

00:07:57.720 He is, by most polling, one of the most popular politicians in America.

00:08:01.660 And he believes this, at least in 1972, he believed that this was the fantasy of men and women.

00:08:10.420 I mean, this is a guy who, this is why progressives believe there's a rape culture.

00:08:18.020 Because people like this are saying, look, we know what all guys are like.

00:08:22.780 No, Bernie, guys and women, they're not like this.

00:08:25.740 And Bernie Sanders seems to be thinking there's a rape culture.

00:08:27.800 And if there were, women would be excited about it.

00:08:29.680 Well, yes, this is their fantasy.

00:08:31.820 They're thrilled about the possibility of this happening to them.

00:08:35.780 Can you imagine?

00:08:37.720 I mean, who can understand the rape victim?

00:08:40.540 Bernie Sanders?

00:08:43.380 Bernie, have you changed your mind about this?

00:08:45.400 And what made you change your mind?

00:08:47.640 Did that change your ways at all?

00:08:49.260 Did that change your actions?

00:08:50.720 What happened to you?

00:08:51.740 This is so terrifying that he believes the typical fantasy is this.

00:08:58.700 Even if he says, no, that's not my fantasy.

00:09:01.600 He's projecting that fantasy on the average male.

00:09:05.840 To be fair, and I know no one would do this for us.

00:09:09.680 And we should at least point this out.

00:09:11.480 That this particular piece was written by Bernard Sanders.

00:09:14.440 We are not entirely sure if Bernard Sanders and Bernie Sanders, I mean, maybe it's an alter ego, a really clever pen name.

00:09:24.680 But Bernard Sanders wrote this in 1972.

00:09:27.900 And so if you see Bernard Sanders' name on a ballot, you may want to pause and think about this op-ed a little bit. 0.70

00:09:35.080 So he talks about, you know, women being tied up and women being abused, women being raped. 0.97

00:09:40.960 That's everybody's fantasy. 0.95

00:09:42.600 Then he says, you know, then they get dressed up.

00:09:44.680 They go to church or to their revolutionary political meeting.

00:09:49.020 Notice that he says it's their going to church or their revolutionary political meeting.

00:09:56.200 Meaning, to me at least, that's the church for the left.

00:10:01.780 First, have you ever looked at the Stag, Man, Hero, Tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore?

00:10:11.160 No, Bernie, I've never even heard of those magazines.

00:10:14.260 What bookstore is this guy going to?

00:10:15.860 I don't know. Can you look up, Merce, look up Stag magazine or Man magazine or is it Kiro?

00:10:21.500 Hero, I think it is, right?

00:10:22.580 Hero or Kiro, yeah. It must be Hero.

00:10:24.800 Tough magazine.

00:10:25.740 Do you know why the newspapers with articles like Girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well? 0.99

00:10:34.560 What the hell is this guy? 0.89

00:10:36.040 I mean, this is, this is beyond. 0.97

00:10:39.220 This is, this is, this is like, this is the stuff that you would say.

00:10:43.460 We went to his Facebook page and he had posted these things.

00:10:47.180 How did we not know?

00:10:48.580 How come this wasn't alerted?

00:10:50.120 How come nobody, nobody said what's wrong with this guy?

00:10:54.600 Nobody alerted anybody that he said these were his fantasies?

00:11:00.020 I mean, this is the stuff that would be blocked by the FBI now after you found that he was the killer of some sort of a sex cult.

00:11:09.180 Yeah, this is the, this is the, the paperwork unearthed in the Ted Bundy tapes documentary.

00:11:14.600 Exactly right.

00:11:15.080 Did you know Ted Bundy ran, I mean, he wrote this.

00:11:17.700 Can you believe it?

00:11:18.300 Of course you can believe that he did all these things.

00:11:20.760 I mean, and by the way, the next line says, uh, to what in us are they appealing?

00:11:26.280 In us?

00:11:27.380 I mean, he seems to be in some odd way, including himself.

00:11:31.900 Well, I don't know what Stag Man, Hero, or Tough Magazine is. 0.53

00:11:35.040 But we do know what Girl 12 raped by 14 men is.

00:11:37.460 Yep.

00:11:37.780 He just says, he says, again, this is a quote.

00:11:40.720 Do you know why newspapers with the articles like Girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well?

00:11:46.420 To what in us are they, they appealing?

00:11:49.580 Yeah.

00:11:50.120 What are they appealing to?

00:11:51.860 Something he's finding appealing, apparently.

00:11:54.080 Yeah, he's finding it.

00:11:55.460 You know, I'll tell you what that appeals to, our sense of horror.

00:11:59.340 That's what.

00:12:00.460 It doesn't appeal to anything.

00:12:02.180 No, but it does.

00:12:03.000 Why would, why would we pick up that newspaper and go, oh my gosh.

00:12:07.400 We don't go, oh my gosh.

00:12:09.560 Right.

00:12:09.820 That sounds good.

00:12:10.420 We look at that and say, oh my good Lord, what?

00:12:14.340 The fear instinct, the urgency instinct.

00:12:16.780 Right.

00:12:17.140 The compassion instinct, the horror instinct.

00:12:19.980 It's not a sexual thing.

00:12:23.040 So he says, women for their own preservation are trying to pull themselves together and it's 1.00

00:12:30.020 necessary for all humanity that they do so.

00:12:32.500 Slavishness on one hand breeds pigness on the other hand. 1.00

00:12:39.220 Pigness on one hand breeds slavishness on the other.

00:12:43.040 I don't even know what this means. 1.00

00:12:44.440 This is this kind of Marxist bull crap. 0.99

00:12:47.160 Yeah. 1.00

00:12:47.300 It's like finding a collection of words.

00:12:49.940 I mean, he really was ahead of the time.

00:12:51.380 This is every academic article these days about intersectionality.

00:12:55.320 In the beginning, there were strong men who killed animals and brought home the food and

00:13:00.120 the, and the dependent women who cooked it. 0.98

00:13:03.540 No more.

00:13:04.360 Only the roles remain waiting to be shaken off.

00:13:08.460 There are no human oppressors.

00:13:10.120 Oppressors have lost their humanity.

00:13:12.440 One hand slavishness.

00:13:14.140 On the other hand, pigness. 0.60

00:13:15.420 Six of one, half dozen of the other.

00:13:18.060 Who wins?

00:13:19.420 Many women seem to be walking a tightrope now. 1.00

00:13:23.220 Their qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of

00:13:28.260 dependency, subservience, and masochism.

00:13:32.960 How do you love without being dependent?

00:13:36.420 How do you be gentle without being subservient?

00:13:39.820 How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and without getting strung

00:13:45.200 out?

00:13:46.000 How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover but sustain, maintain the soul which

00:13:53.380 is you?

00:13:53.900 I'm sorry.

00:13:54.300 It's just, it's an old newspaper font.

00:13:56.780 I will tell you this, that I do have compassion.

00:13:59.660 My mother was a drug addict. 0.99

00:14:01.960 She was addicted to prescription drugs towards the end of her life because she was in this

00:14:06.460 middle area.

00:14:09.220 She was not part of the World War II generation and she was not part of the 1960s, you know,

00:14:18.140 free love generation.

00:14:19.620 She was in that generation that was the bridge between the two. 0.55

00:14:23.680 So she wasn't accepted by the old people because she didn't feel comfortable there.

00:14:29.820 She wasn't accepted by the young people.

00:14:32.500 Don't trust anybody over 30. 1.00

00:14:34.620 And yet she wanted to be herself.

00:14:36.480 And I have to tell you, I have great compassion for women and men who lived through this time.

00:14:45.180 My father-in-law is a great example of this.

00:14:47.400 My father-in-law and my mother-in-law, both on both sides, they both grew up in typical 1.00

00:14:53.340 new immigrant Italian families where the man was the man and the woman was at home making 0.99

00:15:03.420 the pasta and the men were, you know, bad.

00:15:09.120 A lot of the men were bad.

00:15:10.220 Not all men, but in this particular family, grandpa was not a good guy.

00:15:16.620 Okay.

00:15:17.100 And what the men said went, well, my, my father-in-law grew up in the 1960s where no, that was not

00:15:28.240 it.

00:15:28.640 So the older generation was like, what are you a girl?

00:15:33.080 You'd tell your wife exactly how it is.

00:15:35.640 And well, he wasn't that guy.

00:15:37.460 And he had to find that middle ground.

00:15:40.340 And my mother-in-law was a, was a woman who, you know, didn't necessarily want to stay home 0.99

00:15:46.940 and be her mother.

00:15:48.540 She wanted to have a life of her own.

00:15:50.520 That was a nightmare to navigate, I would imagine.

00:15:54.120 And they did it somehow.

00:15:56.200 And so in some ways, this is what this article is saying.

00:16:00.040 It's like, look, the people, men and women of that particular time and age are lost.

00:16:06.180 However, what he says the old typical male is and what the, and what the new woman is, is

00:16:14.820 wrong.

00:16:15.400 It's wrong.

00:16:17.460 I mean, at the very least, every interview with Bernie Sanders should have questions about

00:16:25.040 what he wrote in 1972.

00:16:26.720 They should make him explain exactly what he thought and why he, he thought that was the

00:16:32.700 way men and women were and whether he believed those things, because that's certainly the

00:16:37.020 treatment that would happen to any, can you imagine a Republican with written something

00:16:40.260 like this?

00:16:40.640 Forget about this is the, I just explained to you a very logical way to look at this

00:16:46.440 article and say, look, this is the time and this was the problem.

00:16:49.740 Okay.

00:16:50.440 I could, you, and I could accept that.

00:16:52.280 You could, as long as you're deleting the first few paragraphs, you can get away with

00:16:54.820 that.

00:16:54.980 I could make an argument for it.

00:16:57.200 I'm not going to, because I don't believe it, but I could make an argument that would

00:17:01.200 fit in that time.

00:17:02.420 But nobody's going to do that for a Republican.

00:17:04.880 Nobody's going to do that for a conservative.

00:17:07.240 They won't do it for people who lived 200 years ago. 0.91

00:17:12.540 Why should we do it for somebody who lived in 1972?

00:17:18.540 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:17:26.880 Daily Caller just put out a video of me and they asked me the question last week when I

00:17:31.880 was in Washington, why is Donald Trump relatable?

00:17:35.920 Why do so many people find him relatable?

00:17:38.800 Here it is.

00:17:40.440 You have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows, of course, it's Donald

00:17:48.240 Trump and he's taking bold, bold action.

00:17:53.920 Who else does that?

00:17:56.240 Who else does that?

00:17:57.120 I think the American people connect to Donald Trump because he is not processed.

00:18:11.660 He is not somebody who has been homogenized and run through focus groups.

00:18:17.640 I remember when I was at CNN, this is 2007, and Barack Obama was starting to come up in

00:18:25.400 the polls and I remember saying, the next president we have is going to be, he's going to look 0.83

00:18:31.020 like me, he's going to be fat. 0.59

00:18:32.500 He's going to be maybe unshaven.

00:18:34.680 He might have a gravy stain.

00:18:35.880 He's like, oh yeah, got a gravy stain.

00:18:37.960 Sorry about that.

00:18:38.640 Listen, here's what's up.

00:18:39.880 He might even fart from time to time, but he'd be just like you.

00:18:44.560 We have gone from the slickest, most pre-packaged president to the guy on the end of the bar

00:18:53.380 stool and it's, it's, it's not just that, he's also successful in the free market.

00:19:00.640 And so people see him and he's, he is an image of success.

00:19:06.760 I've done it.

00:19:07.560 He may be the most eligible bachelor in America.

00:19:11.320 Please welcome Donald Trump.

00:19:14.900 And he's the guy at the end of the bar stool.

00:19:17.280 So it kind of gives you this, well, if he did it, I could probably do it too.

00:19:22.280 So he's, he's that.

00:19:24.820 And then on top of it, because we all fart and we all know it, but we don't ever talk

00:19:31.320 about it.

00:19:32.560 When he talks about it, you're like, I love this guy.

00:19:36.100 He's, he, he farts and he says he farts.

00:19:38.520 And, and that's refreshing because you are, um, connecting on that level.

00:19:47.160 Donald Trump is who he is.

00:19:49.800 He has told the American people, you're not going to take him down.

00:19:54.900 It's fun to watch the media try to take him down because people have already baked into

00:19:59.020 it.

00:19:59.200 They know he's told them, I'm this guy, I'm going to do these things.

00:20:04.300 And to my surprise early on, he did those things.

00:20:10.860 I didn't think he was going to do those things.

00:20:12.620 He did them and more.

00:20:15.360 Uh, and so now you have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows,

00:20:24.200 of course it's Donald Trump and he's taking bold, bold action.

00:20:29.860 Uh, who else does that?

00:20:32.800 Who else does that?

00:20:35.120 What do you think of that?

00:20:36.300 That's why he's relatable.

00:20:38.040 I think, I think it's good.

00:20:39.100 I think if anyone's looking to, you know, write a headline for a news story, including

00:20:42.040 that video, you could go with Glenn Beck on farts, quote, that's refreshing.

00:20:46.620 Uh, so if you, if you wanted to go with that, you could, I think it's a, I think that's probably

00:20:51.660 a pretty good summary of the way people feel about Trump, right?

00:20:56.220 Like he is that, that unrefined nature that the media obviously hates so much is a big

00:21:02.920 chunk of the reason why people like him. 0.87

00:21:04.920 Yeah.

00:21:05.100 It was really weird.

00:21:06.080 They put you in this, this small little room and they say, okay, um, you can answer one

00:21:11.880 of these three questions and it needs to be about three minutes.

00:21:14.320 And so you don't really have any time to like think about it.

00:21:18.340 Right.

00:21:18.540 Right.

00:21:18.800 And so I said, I don't remember which question that was, maybe question number two.

00:21:22.400 And I was like, uh, yeah, why is he relatable?

00:21:24.740 Okay.

00:21:25.020 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:21:40.800 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:21:41.920 If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?

00:21:46.540 If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.

00:21:50.600 You can subscribe on iTunes.

00:21:52.200 Thanks.

00:21:52.520 I'm not calling, I'm not going to call this audience an audience anymore.

00:21:55.280 This is a tribe and I am your chief.

00:21:58.500 I am your chief.

00:21:59.620 And once in a while we'll have to call a powwow.

00:22:01.660 I'm just saying I can say it because I'm how many more times?

00:22:06.260 13 times.

00:22:06.880 I'm 13 times more, uh, native American than Elizabeth Warren.

00:22:12.420 So there you go.

00:22:13.940 You're all set.

00:22:14.640 I'm all set.

00:22:15.460 I am suddenly offended by cigar store Indians. 1.00

00:22:18.820 I don't know why, but I'm suddenly very offended by those.

00:22:23.600 Did you always feel uneasy at that Seinfeld episode?

00:22:26.680 Did it always make you storm a little bit?

00:22:28.400 I did.

00:22:28.540 I laughed about it.

00:22:29.740 But last night, things have changed.

00:22:31.860 Okay.

00:22:32.100 Things have changed for me.

00:22:33.780 Uh, we have, uh, Bill Jones.

00:22:35.320 He's the principal, uh, Manatee School for the Arts.

00:22:38.540 I'm sorry to bring you into this mess, uh, Bill.

00:22:40.600 He has nothing to do with the previous conversation.

00:22:42.860 Uh, Bill Jones, welcome.

00:22:45.120 Oh, thank you, Glenn.

00:22:46.180 I appreciate you having me on.

00:22:47.460 You bet.

00:22:47.820 Uh, so how are things, Ben?

00:22:49.800 Explain what you've done with bringing veterans in.

00:22:54.320 Well, it all started, uh, when the legislature, uh, passed the bill last year that requires

00:23:01.220 an armed guard on every campus, either an SRO or the new guardian program, or you could

00:23:07.640 go with private security, things like that.

00:23:09.520 So the, the question of should you have an armed guard on campus was kind of taken out

00:23:14.540 of our hands.

00:23:15.240 That's not even a conversation anymore because it is required by law.

00:23:19.160 So when you get to that point, you start asking the question, well, who do we want with, uh,

00:23:25.600 with a gun on campus and, uh, what's the purpose?

00:23:29.120 And, uh, as you, as you follow the conversation further along, uh, then you have to ask the question,

00:23:35.300 well, what kind of gun are they going to carry?

00:23:39.320 So, um, you know, we looked at, um, uh, if you're going to have somebody who, and, and

00:23:45.480 remember that the ultimate purpose for this individual, it grows out of the Parkland shooting

00:23:51.820 and, and previous shootings.

00:23:53.380 So they're here in the, the ultimate tragedy situation where you have an active shooter

00:24:00.220 or, uh, you know, assailant who comes on campus threatening faculty, staff, students, and so

00:24:06.240 forth.

00:24:06.900 So if you look at that, that far end of the spectrum, the tip of the spear, you know, and

00:24:13.080 everybody likes to talk about, it's a rare occurrence.

00:24:16.080 And of course it is rare until it happens.

00:24:18.700 And then nobody cares about statistics because it's very real ask the, the, the folks at

00:24:24.260 Parkland, you know, whether the statistics mean anything at all, doesn't matter how rare

00:24:28.820 it is.

00:24:29.180 It's, it's very real.

00:24:30.340 So when you look at that, uh, one thing I said was, you know, most, uh, police officers

00:24:37.740 go through their career, never firing their weapon in anger.

00:24:40.920 And most of them go through their career, never actually having been shot at.

00:24:44.820 So if, um, if we actually had an incident here, I made the comment one day that I, I would

00:24:52.980 really rather not have that be the first time that your guard had been shot at because I've

00:25:00.940 never been in the military.

00:25:02.080 I've never been shot at, but I have talked to an awful lot of people who have, and I know

00:25:07.180 that, and I've counseled some of those folks and I know this is a very life changing experience.

00:25:12.460 Uh, you kind of figure out who you are, how you're going to respond.

00:25:16.620 Oh, it, it, it's just something.

00:25:19.000 And I'm thinking, you know, in the heat of the moment, I, I really don't want to have a

00:25:25.200 situation where I have someone who has to stop for a minute and, and, and think about

00:25:29.480 this or hesitate.

00:25:30.820 And, and I don't want to get into, you know, the Parkland who hesitated and so forth.

00:25:35.720 But I think that's a very real concern.

00:25:38.200 We have a group of individuals, and this is where we came to, who are trained.

00:25:43.940 They're, they're called combat veterans.

00:25:46.760 Uh, they, many of them have been through this.

00:25:49.580 Uh, many of them have come out the other side, uh, better than they were before.

00:25:54.140 Some of them, uh, have difficulty.

00:25:56.440 We all know that.

00:25:58.060 But, uh, we looked at it and said, well, you know, if, if we made that a criteria for hiring,

00:26:04.760 and then, of course, we're going to have people go through psychological evaluations.

00:26:09.020 Sure.

00:26:09.340 They go through all kinds of testing.

00:26:11.500 So that's the first step in this journey is having people who understand that in the

00:26:20.900 event of a, of a tragedy like this, they kind of have an idea of what, what happens and,

00:26:27.580 and how they're going to respond.

00:26:29.440 Of course, every situation is different, but at least they've been through it.

00:26:32.560 And they know that it's survival, they know there's a mission that has to be completed,

00:26:37.880 and they know that it's their job to go ahead and do that, just like it was in, in the military.

00:26:43.400 Bill, I have to tell you, um, as somebody who has to have, uh, security, I just hired,

00:26:49.440 uh, a new security, uh, agent, and, um, they go through all kinds of, you know, testing

00:26:54.820 and everything else before they're even coming to, to, um, interview with me.

00:26:58.700 And, uh, I had re I had just really good choices, um, in front of me.

00:27:03.820 One guy who made it to the final selection, uh, had, had lots of military experience, but

00:27:08.820 no actual combat experience.

00:27:10.900 And I said to him, how do I know that you, when the, when the gunfire sounds that you're,

00:27:18.560 you're going to run in, or you're going to do your job.

00:27:22.080 And he said, well, I'm, I'm confident of, uh, I'm confident of that.

00:27:25.980 And he made a good case and he was a really good guy.

00:27:28.360 However, I didn't have anything to, to show that that is what, cause I don't know what

00:27:33.080 I would do if I'm, if I'm being shot at, um, you can say, well, I'll pull my gun and

00:27:38.320 I'll, no, you don't know that combat veterans have been through it and they, you know how

00:27:45.700 they're going to react.

00:27:46.960 And I commend you for, for thinking that way.

00:27:50.520 If my kid was in your school, uh, I would be, I would breathe a lot, a lot easier knowing

00:27:56.680 that you're going for tested qualified combat vets.

00:28:02.180 Yep.

00:28:03.340 That's, uh, that's, uh, who we're going with and, uh, we're very comfortable.

00:28:07.740 We're very confident.

00:28:09.120 Um, and this is, this has been a long conversation and I spent a lot of time with our, our chief

00:28:14.000 of police here who actually has come on our board now, uh, after all this, uh, discussion

00:28:20.020 and, uh, and, and thinking next step, you have to look at, uh, uh, all these SROs, all

00:28:28.580 these guardians of the training program and everything, uh, equips them with a, with a nine

00:28:33.220 millimeter handgun.

00:28:35.740 And our campus is quite large.

00:28:38.220 We have very long hallways.

00:28:40.700 Uh, it's quite an expanse across the cafeteria, things like that.

00:28:44.620 That ain't going to work.

00:28:46.000 And, uh, you know, I love to use the, the analogy that if you were standing in front of our art

00:28:50.960 gallery, looking across the cafeteria, it's 151 feet.

00:28:55.280 And, uh, I know you're a shooter.

00:28:57.160 Um, and, and next time you go to the range, try taking your nine millimeter and shooting

00:29:02.160 at 150 feet.

00:29:03.500 No, it's really hard.

00:29:04.880 Yeah.

00:29:05.300 See how many targets you hit.

00:29:06.440 Yeah.

00:29:06.620 And, and everybody I've ever talked to all the law enforcement, it's like, they kind

00:29:10.600 of chuckle about that.

00:29:11.800 That's not, that's not pistol range.

00:29:13.940 No.

00:29:14.280 But my problem is that I will agree that the majority of school shooters, uh, even though

00:29:20.880 it is small, the majority have come in with handguns.

00:29:23.660 However, the most egregious, the most horrific, like Parkland, uh, and some of the others, they've

00:29:31.340 come in with high powered rifles.

00:29:33.080 Right.

00:29:33.220 And, and, uh, and my concern is, for example, they're going to come in with, uh, level three

00:29:39.580 body armor, which they're not supposed to have, but you can buy it at pawn shops anymore.

00:29:44.500 Uh, so as I look at that, you know, 150 feet, if I'm standing there, my guardian next to me,

00:29:49.980 and, and, and for some incredible chance, uh, an assailant were to get through that door,

00:29:57.140 which you have to buzz in and everything, uh, and get past.

00:29:59.780 But if they were to get in, I have this horrible, horrible scenario in my mind that I look at

00:30:05.460 the guardian and say, Hey, will you run down there with your nine millimeter and take care

00:30:09.560 of this for me?

00:30:10.180 And, you know, that's, um, that'd be tough for me to ask someone to do that, knowing

00:30:16.380 that their probability of survival is, is going to be pretty slim.

00:30:20.540 So what are you arming him with?

00:30:22.140 That, that 150 foot shot.

00:30:24.340 And I'm just using that because that's our distance.

00:30:26.860 We, we know that it's much more capable.

00:30:29.420 An AR 15, 150 feet with a decent sight on it is, is a piece of cake.

00:30:34.360 In fact, I've talked to my guardian and, uh, you know, as an expert marksman from the military

00:30:40.420 and who, who goes out to the range virtually every weekend to keep in shape, uh, it's like

00:30:47.100 he said, you'd have to try, he'd have to try not, not to, to, to make a shot like that.

00:30:51.640 Yeah.

00:30:51.840 Let's get a shot.

00:30:53.040 And that's my concern that why would you ask if you're, first of all, if you're going

00:30:58.600 to ask someone to put their life on the line to guard you, why would you ask them to use

00:31:03.420 tools that are not as effective as other tools and guns are tools in this situation?

00:31:10.160 So talking to Bill Jones, principal, Manatee School for the Arts that has hired veterans

00:31:14.700 now for security, and he's not handing them a, uh, nine millimeter handgun.

00:31:18.900 What are you handing them?

00:31:20.580 Well, actually they do carry a nine millimeter sidearm.

00:31:23.360 Okay.

00:31:23.580 But in addition to that, um, we, we wanted a high powered rifle and, um, uh, uh, quite

00:31:30.120 frankly, we wanted something a little shorter than a standard AR cause you're in an urban

00:31:34.820 setting hallways.

00:31:36.460 Uh, you don't need a big, big barrel hanging out there swinging around.

00:31:40.620 So, uh, I looked into short barrel rifles and, uh, I, I have a, an attorney who specializes

00:31:48.640 in gun law and so forth.

00:31:50.240 And, uh, she did quite a bit of research.

00:31:52.340 And the problem is as a charter school, we're a 501c3 here in Florida and, uh, to purchase,

00:32:00.120 uh, uh, NFA class three weapons is a little bit of a nightmare nightmare in terms of the

00:32:06.860 paperwork and, uh, having your board members and all that.

00:32:11.140 It's not just a simple trust like an individual would do.

00:32:14.320 So we, you know, we, we rankled with that for a while and I said, well, let's just go with

00:32:19.380 the bullpup.

00:32:20.380 Uh, you know, we'll get, we'll get the, the full length of the barrel.

00:32:23.700 We'll get the shorter gun and, uh, let's see what, what's available.

00:32:28.420 But we looked around a little bit and quite frankly, uh, we were very impressed with this

00:32:33.540 new Caltech, uh, RDB 17, which is, uh, chambered in two, two, three or five, five, six.

00:32:40.600 And, uh, the military round, um, it, it, it, uh, it's a very short gun, but it maintains

00:32:48.100 a 17 inch barrel for accuracy and so forth.

00:32:50.800 So now you are.

00:32:51.620 And it hangs across the front.

00:32:53.460 Uh, of course, our guardian is pretty tall, uh, hefty guy, but it hangs very nicely.

00:32:58.640 It doesn't protrude beyond the person.

00:33:00.560 It's, uh, you know, if, if you're not used to guns at all, it's probably any, any rifle

00:33:06.200 is going to be visually intimidating, but as compared to a standard AR-15, something like

00:33:11.880 that, it's not nearly as visually intimidating, but it also makes it easy to carry around.

00:33:18.040 Um, it's gotten great reviews.

00:33:20.520 Uh, my guardian, uh, tells me that he's put about 4,500 rounds through it.

00:33:26.280 It's performed flawlessly for him.

00:33:28.520 Um, so let me, let me ask you a while because it's, it's slightly different from the AR platform.

00:33:33.420 What is the outward ejection?

00:33:35.500 It's a, it's an ambidextrous weapon.

00:33:37.740 Are you doing a commercial for Kel-Tec here for just a second?

00:33:41.820 Let me ask this bill.

00:33:42.940 What is the, what's the response?

00:33:45.140 Have you gotten pushback on this bill?

00:33:48.220 Um, pushback, um, there, there are several levels that you get pushback from.

00:33:54.140 Uh, I've gotten emails from groups.

00:33:56.540 It was horrible because they were all foreign emails and I said, Hey, do you, do you have 1.00

00:34:01.700 anything original to say?

00:34:02.800 Or do you just want to tell me what the leader of your group has to say?

00:34:06.380 Um, and they were basically people who opposed to guns period, uh, no guns in schools.

00:34:11.740 Okay.

00:34:12.180 Well, that's great.

00:34:13.440 Uh, I don't have a choice.

00:34:14.560 So I've got to have a gun in school then, uh, the vast majority, I would say of parents

00:34:21.500 of all, I've gotten a lot of email from around the country, especially from vet groups.

00:34:26.820 You can imagine how pleased they are that, that we're doing this, but it's, it's been

00:34:31.260 overwhelmingly positive.

00:34:32.540 Uh, I have had some pushback from some, uh, gun snobs who, uh, have dissed the Caltech and

00:34:39.900 said, no, you need a true military weapon.

00:34:42.800 Um, you know, it's like, come on.

00:34:45.000 I know gun people are a little like libertarians, man.

00:34:47.700 Hey, we just love all guns except that one.

00:34:50.280 That's going to have a pen.

00:34:51.880 Yeah.

00:34:52.480 Yeah.

00:34:52.700 Yeah.

00:34:53.140 That's, that's kind of very esoteric.

00:34:55.340 Yeah.

00:34:55.580 Um, uh, we did have, you know, I had someone comments like, oh, it, it makes it look like

00:35:01.580 war.

00:35:02.200 That was an older gentleman.

00:35:03.980 And I said, well, here we're talking reality here.

00:35:07.180 We're not talking about, we wish things could be different.

00:35:09.920 And I made the point.

00:35:11.200 It's awful that if somebody comes in with a gun and start shooting, it is war.

00:35:16.140 There's blood, there's dead people, there's bodies.

00:35:18.500 It is war.

00:35:19.320 And if you're not prepared for that, then you're not going to get the outcome that,

00:35:25.580 that you're looking for bill.

00:35:27.160 You know, everybody, everybody talks to me, like I say about the statistics.

00:35:31.760 So this is a very rare occurrence.

00:35:33.660 Of course it is.

00:35:35.020 Let's keep it that way.

00:35:36.620 Yeah.

00:35:37.200 And I use the analogy of the lotto, you know, uh, what are the odds of winning lotto one in

00:35:42.520 14 million, one in 30 million, but you know, every week or two or a month or so, oh my goodness,

00:35:48.840 somebody wins a lotto.

00:35:50.140 Right.

00:35:50.300 And like I say, for those people, those, those group statistics are meaningless to the individual

00:35:56.340 when it happens.

00:35:57.840 Yeah.

00:35:57.980 And the same thing is true of school shootings.

00:35:59.700 Every school that's ever had a school shooting, you're going to hear the same thing.

00:36:03.920 Gosh, we never thought that would happen here.

00:36:05.860 Right.

00:36:06.020 It always is that case.

00:36:07.100 Bill, I want to thank you so much for being on the program.

00:36:09.280 Thank you for, uh, for, uh, standing up and being logical and reasonable, uh, about all

00:36:15.140 of this.

00:36:15.460 And, and I think being on, uh, radio programs and television programs and everything else

00:36:20.060 is actually going to help your students, uh, because you're sending out the message.

00:36:25.020 We are not a safe zone.

00:36:26.780 We're not a gun free zone. 0.97

00:36:28.480 We take this seriously and you want to kill somebody. 1.00

00:36:31.280 We're going to kill you first. 1.00

00:36:32.460 Thank you so much, Bill. 0.99

00:36:33.440 Appreciate it.

00:36:34.000 Bill sounds like a great guy.

00:36:34.820 I can't imagine how long the announcements go on every morning though.

00:36:37.680 I feel like you might not go to, you might not get to any classes.

00:36:44.340 He's awesome.

00:36:45.080 No, that was great.

00:36:50.720 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:36:53.380 In just a few days on Saturday, there is something called the day of morning.

00:37:09.540 Now this was happening in New York.

00:37:11.800 It was happening in Albany and it was started by Elizabeth Johnston.

00:37:16.860 Now she was, uh, on the program with us last week.

00:37:19.940 And now there are 20 more cities where this has started to spread.

00:37:24.500 Elizabeth joins us now.

00:37:25.920 Hello, Elizabeth.

00:37:27.380 Hi, Glenn.

00:37:28.400 How are you?

00:37:29.220 Very good.

00:37:29.840 I just want to introduce you.

00:37:31.160 Uh, Elizabeth is a speaker and an author and a vlogger.

00:37:34.760 And, uh, she, um, uh, has been involved in all kinds of things, but mainly raising her

00:37:41.440 10 children.

00:37:43.020 Uh, some things have happened in life where she said enough is enough, not on my watch.

00:37:47.320 And she has now become a very big, powerful, um, uh, voice in social media and has written

00:37:55.480 a new book called not on my watch, but we want to talk to her about the day of morning.

00:37:59.740 So what's happened since last we spoke Elizabeth.

00:38:03.360 Glenn, um, partially thanks to being on your show last week.

00:38:07.060 We could not be more excited about the response to the day of morning.

00:38:10.640 As you mentioned, we are now simulcasting the event to 21 cities.

00:38:15.840 Uh, days ago, we had, uh, sold out of our venue space at the convention center.

00:38:21.260 We are scrambling to rent more rooms at the convention center to simulcast.

00:38:25.520 I think we'll have at least 5,000 people at the convention center in Albany, New York,

00:38:30.460 and probably, um, probably standing outside.

00:38:33.960 We have tapped into something, Glenn.

00:38:37.460 People want to be anywhere they can be near the day of morning because we are standing

00:38:42.840 in the gap and interposing for our nation on Saturday.

00:38:46.800 We believe the blood of these babies is crying up to God right now, and we are in deep trouble.

00:38:52.780 And we've seen in history times when people have stood in the gap for their nation and God

00:38:58.320 has spared their nation.

00:38:59.320 Like when Moses stood in the gap for the Hebrew people and God spared them, and Esther stood 0.81

00:39:04.140 in the gap and called for fasting and prayer when Haman wanted to destroy her people and

00:39:09.320 God spared them.

00:39:10.520 That is the heart of what we are doing on Saturday, and people just want to get as close to it

00:39:16.120 as they possibly can.

00:39:17.460 All right, so you have events now in Apple Valley, California, Eugene, Oregon.

00:39:21.460 Wow, that's shocking to me.

00:39:22.940 Is Eugene normal?

00:39:25.440 I mean, sorry to say that.

00:39:27.440 Sorry, Oregon, but you know what I'm talking about.

00:39:29.940 Chicago, Illinois, Charlotte, North Carolina.

00:39:33.280 Where else?

00:39:35.320 Oh, you can, if you go to the dayofmorning.org, you will see the 21 cities where we are simulcasting.

00:39:41.960 Scroll to the bottom of the website, dayofmorning.org, and you will see that we are just in tons

00:39:48.900 of states and super excited about that.

00:39:51.580 I just, I think people, Glenn, they are tired of the half measures that we have been taking.

00:39:58.240 When are we going to see that these half measures aren't working?

00:40:01.800 You know, when you cut branches off a tree, the branches are going to grow back, right?

00:40:06.900 And the pro-aborts are always coming back with more and more bloodshed, more and more outrageous 0.86

00:40:14.240 legislation. 0.83

00:40:15.260 And the pro-life movement has been strangely fixated on passing pathetic legislation that 0.99

00:40:21.600 says, you know, you can kill the baby as long as the doctor has hospital privileges, or you 0.99

00:40:26.680 can kill the baby as long as you let the mom wait 24 hours, or you can kill the baby as 0.99

00:40:32.080 long as the clinic is sanitary. 0.99

00:40:33.640 Are we out of our minds, Glenn?

00:40:36.320 What if we said that back in the Holocaust time about the Jewish people? 1.00

00:40:40.340 Okay, you can kill Jews as long as the clinic is sanitary. 1.00

00:40:44.440 Have mercy. 1.00

00:40:45.760 Like, no, we need to end the killing.

00:40:48.180 And that's why this is a vertical response on Saturday, Glenn.

00:40:51.520 It's saying, you know what?

00:40:53.120 We have all just been completely negligent and complicit in this crime of child killing,

00:40:58.780 and we've got to make this right with God.

00:41:01.080 All right.

00:41:01.660 So this is the thing I like about this.

00:41:03.500 This is not a thing where everybody gets up and gives a speech or, you know, and you're

00:41:08.700 cheering and you're bringing signs.

00:41:10.600 You're asking people to, on Saturday, not to shop, to close your business if you're a

00:41:16.320 business owner, to wear black in mourning, and repent for the sin of abortion and ask

00:41:23.200 for God's protection.

00:41:24.260 So at these events, what you're going to see is what exactly, Elizabeth?

00:41:29.860 You will hear inspiring testimonies and stories from, for instance, a mother who chose life

00:41:37.780 because Christians were there to help her choose life when she was heading into the abortion

00:41:41.940 clinic.

00:41:42.680 You'll hear from an eight-year-old abortion survivor who was adopted and is just a beautiful

00:41:49.040 young woman.

00:41:49.820 You'll hear from black conservative David J.

00:41:52.140 Harris, who's going to deal with what a problem this is in the black community and how they 1.00

00:41:57.060 have killed off so much of their race.

00:41:59.420 But more than speakers, you're going to hear us all praying, seeking God, crying out to God

00:42:07.020 for mercy.

00:42:08.080 This is a prayer meeting.

00:42:09.740 This is a sober time of repentance.

00:42:14.080 We are standing in the gap for our nation.

00:42:16.500 And Glenn, I just cannot thank you enough for partnering with us in this and helping us

00:42:22.720 get the word out.

00:42:24.320 Elizabeth, I really appreciate what you're doing, and I think it's very brave and high

00:42:31.620 time.

00:42:32.240 And what I like about this movement is it isn't about people and it isn't about parties or

00:42:38.380 elections.

00:42:38.860 It's really about what I believe is a covenant that we made with God, and we have broken that

00:42:46.020 covenant.

00:42:46.840 And if we don't cry out to him and beg for forgiveness, if he doesn't hear from us, we

00:42:55.220 are going to be destroyed.

00:42:57.620 We are going to be destroyed.

00:42:58.720 Because I firmly believe with the technology and the ingenuity that we have as Americans,

00:43:06.600 if we go dark, we are going to be the worst nation ever in history.

00:43:14.980 We are going to make the Nazis look like rookies. 0.97

00:43:17.860 With what we have now in technology, we can kill millions of people overnight. 0.97

00:43:23.660 And it can all be done in the cover of darkness in their own home, and nobody will ever see

00:43:29.160 it because we can cut off all communication.

00:43:31.080 I mean, it's horrifying to think.

00:43:35.000 And we are strangely no longer moved.

00:43:40.300 It's, you know, the man's love for man has waxed cold.

00:43:45.800 Yeah.

00:43:46.400 Think about this, Glenn.

00:43:48.080 Think about the passion that the left has for their ideas and the lack of passion that

00:43:53.920 we have for ours, the potheads will defy the feds for their marijuana state after state

00:44:00.820 after state, but we don't even have enough love for our pre-born neighbor to defy the

00:44:06.180 feds when they tell us it's okay to execute babies in cold blood. 0.93

00:44:11.200 This is why we're meeting on Saturday, because something has happened to our hearts.

00:44:16.320 We are dead inside to an issue that should so greatly alarm us that we can't sleep at

00:44:22.600 night, an issue that would cause us, yes, to defy the feds, to say, I don't care what

00:44:27.660 Rosie Wade says.

00:44:29.400 Rosie Wade can kiss my grits. 1.00

00:44:31.400 I'm going to protect these babies.

00:44:33.660 And we don't have that, Glenn.

00:44:35.480 And so that's why we are seeking God to change our hearts on Saturday.

00:44:39.780 Elizabeth Johnston, she's the author of the book, ActivistMommy.com.

00:44:45.980 It's the day of mourning that is happening this Saturday.

00:44:49.840 I cannot urge you strongly enough, no matter what your faith is, please, please turn your 0.99

00:44:58.740 eyes to God and beg for forgiveness and help and time so we can correct the sins that we

00:45:09.140 have just let watch, let happen on our watch.

00:45:13.820 And I know, you know, I'm not talking to anybody about repenting.

00:45:19.460 I have so much repenting to do.

00:45:21.780 I have said so many times in my career, and especially at the times when I was at Fox,

00:45:27.320 we were under attack on so many different things.

00:45:30.240 And people came to me and said, you've got to talk about abortion in life.

00:45:33.760 And I said, are you kidding me?

00:45:35.640 I can carry no more water.

00:45:38.080 Somebody else has to carry that bucket because I just can't carry any more water.

00:45:42.160 And I regret that deeply.

00:45:45.520 And we all have, we can all make excuses.

00:45:49.420 But in the end, those excuses don't mean anything.

00:45:52.720 This is a holocaust that has happened in our country. 0.98

00:45:56.480 And those of us who say we are against this, we do have to stand in peace, in love, with

00:46:06.840 compassion.

00:46:08.820 And we should take the beam out of our own eye first before we look for the beams in other

00:46:15.460 people's eyes.

00:46:16.840 Elizabeth, thank you so much.

00:46:18.640 Thank you, Glenn.

00:46:19.500 God bless you.

00:46:20.060 dayofmorning.org.

00:46:22.120 It's dayofmorning, and that's with a U. 0.95

00:46:25.300 dayofmorning.org.

00:46:26.920 It is this Saturday.

00:46:32.020 This is the best of a Glenn Beck program.

00:46:34.920 So I want to talk a little bit about, I want to talk about a little, something that I found

00:46:48.140 interesting today about the inside scoop of Cortez and the way AOC, I hate that, I hate

00:47:00.960 that so much.

00:47:02.060 It's painful.

00:47:02.900 It really is.

00:47:03.580 It is, it's painful.

00:47:05.420 It is, they just are trying to make her a thing so badly for different reasons.

00:47:10.140 I think every, like, mainstream analysis of her is completely wrong.

00:47:19.740 Like, the typical way you look at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, at least the way the media

00:47:25.380 does, she's this energetic superstar, up-and-coming future of the Democratic Party that has lit everything 0.96

00:47:32.000 on fire.

00:47:32.540 It's amazing.

00:47:34.000 And the Republicans are obsessed with her because they're afraid of her.

00:47:38.120 That is the-

00:47:39.040 I love it.

00:47:39.980 Yeah, it's that's them.

00:47:40.800 And I think both of them, though, are wrong.

00:47:42.580 I do, too.

00:47:43.100 At the bat, we talked about the idea that Republicans are only bringing her up.

00:47:46.740 If you think about the goals of Republicans in election cycles for the past, let's say,

00:47:52.600 70 years, it's been try to show that Democrats are socialists, right?

00:47:58.620 And that will scare a voter from voting for them, right?

00:48:02.060 Like, being honest about, like, you might think if you're a Democrat, oh, they're not

00:48:06.160 all socialists.

00:48:07.100 But the Republican goal has been to paint Democrats that way.

00:48:10.820 They give us a lot of help, right?

00:48:12.460 Like, they are, many of them are, support so many policies that are the same.

00:48:17.080 But it's been a hard task.

00:48:18.560 For the example of Barack Obama this recently, when we were saying, like, hey, this guy has

00:48:23.200 a lot of socialist tendencies, we were called racists and haters, we were throwing out these

00:48:28.240 evil, awful accusations at this president.

00:48:32.000 Now, they're embracing it.

00:48:34.020 They're embracing it.

00:48:34.760 They're calling themselves socialists.

00:48:36.120 It's almost like they took off their mask.

00:48:37.460 So, yeah, exactly.

00:48:38.720 As you pointed out back in the day.

00:48:41.220 And so, the idea that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Republicans, are afraid of her, it's the

00:48:46.140 exact opposite.

00:48:47.240 She is giving them what they've tried to accomplish for 70 years.

00:48:50.680 They are finally saying, yes, Democrats are socialists, and we're telling you that we are.

00:48:56.920 And that's a gift to Republicans.

00:48:58.280 It is.

00:48:58.700 In fact, let me play the audio from Bernie Sanders, where he just said, look, you know,

00:49:05.980 just a few years ago, nobody wanted to say that they were a socialist.

00:49:09.860 Now, that's what the party has embraced.

00:49:12.360 Listen to this.

00:49:13.640 Many of the ideas that I talked about, Medicare for all, raising the minimum wage to 15,

00:49:20.680 dollars an hour, making public colleges and universities tuition-free.

00:49:25.560 All of those ideas, people would say, oh, Bernie, they're so radical.

00:49:29.360 They are extremely American people, just won't accept those ideas.

00:49:33.220 Well, you know what's happened in over three years?

00:49:35.480 All of those ideas and many more are now part of the political mainstream.

00:49:39.420 So you're saying the party came your way?

00:49:42.220 Well, I don't want to say that.

00:49:43.580 I think most people would say that.

00:49:46.980 And the numbers show that as well.

00:49:48.900 Right.

00:49:49.180 FiveThirtyEight did a study on this and showed, yeah.

00:49:50.900 Or no, it was CNN that did it.

00:49:52.500 CNN said, yeah, by the way, this is the most liberal field in history.

00:49:57.760 Right.

00:49:58.120 So what was wrong in the media, what the media said, oh, how dare you, you racist, say this,

00:50:06.060 that these people are socialists. 0.54

00:50:08.400 You're just throwing nasty names around.

00:50:12.200 We're like, that's not a nasty name.

00:50:13.560 It's not a racist thing.

00:50:15.160 It's a political ideology that has been tried all around the world over and over again.

00:50:20.300 Well, you just want to.

00:50:21.720 No, I'm just telling you that's what they believe.

00:50:24.640 Well, they do believe that.

00:50:25.940 And now they're embracing it.

00:50:27.880 So the right should celebrate that they are now embracing this because we can have at least an honest conversation.

00:50:37.140 I mean, my love for a campaign between two people last year or last time in 16 was Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

00:50:50.180 Yeah, let America make a decision.

00:50:51.340 Yeah, have an honest, open debate.

00:50:53.440 Bernie Sanders is open and honest.

00:50:56.220 I am not for the Constitution being the way it is.

00:50:59.480 I want to reverse and have a second Bill of Rights.

00:51:02.800 And I want to make this a document that says these are the things the government must do.

00:51:08.380 And Ted Cruz believes in the Constitution the way it is and says, no, these are the things the government must never do.

00:51:14.040 Let's have that conversation and just get done with it.

00:51:16.980 Let's just get on with it.

00:51:18.460 But they didn't want to have that debate.

00:51:22.180 Now we can have that debate.

00:51:23.880 And we're on the winning side of this.

00:51:25.580 We're on the winning side.

00:51:27.120 Now, we look at Ocasio-Cortez and the media says, oh, we're just afraid of her.

00:51:32.320 No, we're not.

00:51:32.760 And quite honestly, neither is the left.

00:51:38.040 Now, I want you to know, there are two Democratic parties right now. 0.83

00:51:42.160 There's the hip Democrats, like Ocasio-Cortez.

00:51:45.940 And then there's the hip replacement Democrats.

00:51:49.840 And the hip replacement Democrats, we all know who they are. 0.91

00:51:53.460 It's Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and everybody else.

00:51:55.860 And kind of Bernie Sanders, except he's actually in both categories.

00:51:59.740 He actually fits probably more in the hip Democrats.

00:52:02.040 Yes.

00:52:02.400 The same way, like, you would have put Ron Paul in the hip Republicans back in the day.

00:52:06.360 Yes.

00:52:06.740 Like, even though he might be older, he fits more of that brand.

00:52:10.280 Right.

00:52:10.480 He was a rebel.

00:52:11.460 Right.

00:52:11.860 He was a rebel.

00:52:12.540 And he's such a rebel that he's gone back to being a Democrat to run for the presidential candidacy in the Democratic Party.

00:52:20.180 Although he's always an independent, and now he's going after independents, like Howard Schultz, because you've got to join the party.

00:52:28.080 You've got to be part of the party.

00:52:29.120 Yeah.

00:52:29.380 I mean, it's just crazy.

00:52:30.700 Anyway, so there's these two groups.

00:52:33.340 And these two groups are really looked at as crazies.

00:52:39.980 And I believe, I've wondered, why is Nancy Pelosi and why are these people just allowing Ocasio-Cortez just to do this?

00:52:51.300 Just to take out, you know, a talking point memo, quote unquote, and say, we're going to get rid of cars and we're going to get airplanes and everything else.

00:53:03.980 Why are they allowing her to do this? 0.99

00:53:06.860 I actually think I figured it out.

00:53:09.540 Last night on the TV show, we went over the Green New Deal. 0.98

00:53:13.120 And I want to bring you the highlights of that show and show you she is, I actually think she's a pathetic figure now. 0.99

00:53:22.280 I really do. 0.98

00:53:23.200 I think she's a really sad, pathetic figure that has no idea how she's being used by the hip replacement Democrats. 1.00
