The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Jim DeMint & Rachel Bovard

00:00:00.000 Hey podcasters, great day. There's only one thing really that I need to say beforehand,

00:00:05.600 and that is, if you want to know what's going on with the impeachment scandal,

00:00:10.120 you've come to the right place. Here's today's podcast.

00:00:20.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:24.160 There's a couple of stories here that we want to address.

00:00:31.020 The Democratic head of the House Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam Schiff,

00:00:36.540 learned about the outlines of a CIA officer's concerns that President Trump had abused his power

00:00:41.920 just days before the officer filed a whistleblower complaint.

00:00:45.300 This according to a spokesperson and current and former American officials.

00:00:49.500 The early account by the future whistleblower shows how determined he was to make known his allegations

00:00:55.120 that Mr. Trump had asked Ukraine's government to interfere on his behalf in the 2020 election.

00:01:00.480 It also explains how Mr. Schiff knew to press for the complaint when the Trump administration

00:01:06.040 initially blocked lawmakers from seeing it.

00:01:09.140 The CIA officer approached a House Intelligence Committee with his concerns about Mr. Trump.

00:01:20.760 Concerned about how the initial avenue for airing his allegations through the CIA was unfolding,

00:01:26.260 the officer approached the House aide.

00:01:28.980 The House member, following the committee's procedures,

00:01:32.860 suggested the officer had to find a lawyer to advise him and meet with the inspector general,

00:01:37.680 with whom he could file the complaint.

00:01:40.900 The aide shared some of what the officer conveyed to Mr. Schiff,

00:01:45.200 and Mr. Schiff informed him that he should go see this particular lawyer.

00:01:51.840 This particular lawyer is a former lawyer for Schumer and also Hillary Clinton,

00:01:59.120 and this former lawyer is also a donor to Joe Biden.

00:02:03.120 Now, when the president lost his stack yesterday, and he did,

00:02:09.600 I just kept watching him going,

00:02:11.640 Mr. President, please, please hold it together.

00:02:15.240 Help is on the way.

00:02:17.000 Time is your friend here.

00:02:20.820 This is going to come undone.

00:02:23.660 And yesterday, I have, I've never in my, in my, what, 20 years of television broadcast,

00:02:32.520 I have never had to do a, a rough draft chalkboard.

00:02:39.300 And yesterday, I was working with the research team,

00:02:42.800 and we were, we were putting all of this timeline together.

00:02:47.440 And I kept saying, wait a minute, wait a minute, what about this?

00:02:50.300 Where did this go?

00:02:51.980 And I've, I've, I've had to, it's three chalkboards, three chalkboards.

00:02:57.760 And I have to go back and redo all of it today.

00:03:01.140 There is so much information.

00:03:03.780 But even us, we have done the research.

00:03:07.140 We know all of the documents.

00:03:09.940 We have seen the court records.

00:03:12.220 We know exactly what we know and what we don't know.

00:03:17.500 Just the stuff that we can verify through court documents or any kind of document or sources that are not unnamed.

00:03:27.500 When we stood back, for those of us who have been researching this and on this for almost, what, eight months?

00:03:34.560 When we stood back and looked at the timeline, all of us said, holy crap.

00:03:41.300 Actually, I don't think it was those words, but it was close to that.

00:03:45.100 Holy crap.

00:03:46.860 Look at this.

00:03:48.800 When you see this chalkboard tonight in 12 hours and 19 minutes,

00:03:53.880 you will be stunned at how clear this is.

00:03:59.820 And you will understand why the president is going apoplectic.

00:04:04.100 Because no one is putting the timeline together.

00:04:09.480 And when you actually see the real timeline,

00:04:13.940 not the one to convict Donald Trump,

00:04:17.260 but the one that could convict Donald Trump or could convict the DNC.

00:04:23.320 When you put just the facts and you don't care where the chips land,

00:04:28.920 it's stunning.

00:04:33.260 Stu hasn't seen the chalkboard yet.

00:04:35.940 Stu, when you see it, it's remarkable.

00:04:40.280 You understand how this Russia thing started.

00:04:44.120 I can give you the name of the person I believe started the idea Russia's involved.

00:04:50.360 I can give you the name.

00:04:51.420 In interest of accuracy here, calling it a chalkboard singular

00:04:56.940 is not exactly the right way to refer to it.

00:05:00.840 It's going to cover what I would say is likely three chalkboards?

00:05:05.340 Four.

00:05:06.400 It's going to be four.

00:05:07.040 Four chalkboards.

00:05:07.680 Four chalkboards.

00:05:08.240 And this is the thing.

00:05:09.420 It's such a complicated story.

00:05:10.860 And you know what the left is depending on?

00:05:13.740 It's a complicated story.

00:05:14.800 It's a complicated story that you won't take the time to understand.

00:05:17.460 But that's my gift.

00:05:18.500 That's the one thing I do really well.

00:05:21.420 is I can take complicated stories and make them make sense.

00:05:28.640 And that is, they're going to mock because they're going to say,

00:05:32.240 look at a crazy chalkboard.

00:05:34.440 I'm doing my best to not make it crazy.

00:05:37.200 I'm doing my best to make it entertaining

00:05:39.240 so you won't have your eyes roll in your head.

00:05:42.260 Because that's what the news is counting on.

00:05:46.460 Mainstream media, the DNC, is counting on

00:05:50.520 and this story is so complex and so mind-numbing

00:05:54.400 that no one can explain it so the average person can understand it.

00:05:59.720 I can.

00:06:01.220 I can.

00:06:02.140 And I know I'm going to be decimated.

00:06:05.480 But I will tell you this.

00:06:07.560 We have had, how many eyes, have we ever done a special since Soros?

00:06:12.640 Have we done a special that has gone through the rigors of this one?

00:06:17.400 That we have just gone over and over and over.

00:06:20.520 Do we have the sources on this?

00:06:22.600 Do we have the documents on this?

00:06:24.420 Do we have the correct translation?

00:06:26.280 Translate it again with someone else.

00:06:28.020 Have we ever done that?

00:06:29.320 Well, this one is particularly difficult

00:06:33.140 because there are, you have the truth,

00:06:37.320 you have what the media is saying,

00:06:38.980 and you also have a lot of conspiracy nonsense

00:06:41.560 that's trying to tie this all together,

00:06:44.080 which isn't doing it correctly.

00:06:45.700 Correct.

00:06:45.980 So sorting through that is really important

00:06:48.500 because if you don't have it right,

00:06:50.480 you're just going to be, oh, they're a conspiracy theorist,

00:06:52.200 and the entire story gets thrown out.

00:06:53.880 That's what they're depending on, right?

00:06:54.880 They're waiting for people to make mistakes.

00:06:56.960 And the chalkboard won't help

00:06:58.440 because the chalkboard is complex.

00:07:01.140 And so when you lay it out,

00:07:03.340 it will look complex,

00:07:04.460 and that will be, they'll take the image and go,

00:07:06.420 Glenn Beckett is crazy chalkboards.

00:07:08.240 It's about watching.

00:07:09.140 You have to actually hear the words that go along with the chalkboard.

00:07:11.420 If you watch this, if you listen,

00:07:13.320 I mean, we were talking today,

00:07:14.440 we've cut a portion of the special out today

00:07:18.620 because we think we need to give people a few minutes,

00:07:22.920 a few times just to rest,

00:07:25.360 just to go, wait, okay, what did I just hear?

00:07:29.960 We have Jason in with us.

00:07:32.280 He is the guy who put the timeline together.

00:07:37.720 He's had, what, about four hours sleep

00:07:40.680 in the last five, six, seven days?

00:07:42.560 I think about so, yeah.

00:07:43.440 Somebody was tweeting,

00:07:45.620 oh, why don't you just release it now for free

00:07:48.480 if it's so important?

00:07:50.140 Well, we are releasing it for free.

00:07:51.800 Tonight it will be on YouTube and Facebook.

00:07:54.680 Watch it, YouTube and Facebook.

00:07:56.540 You're going to have to look for it

00:07:58.040 because they are throttling me

00:08:01.000 in the digital throttle world.

00:08:05.620 They are throttling me right now

00:08:07.780 like I don't think ever before.

00:08:09.640 So you got to go to the Blaze Facebook page,

00:08:13.120 the Blaze YouTube page.

00:08:14.580 Is it going to be on mine?

00:08:15.500 I don't know.

00:08:16.160 I know it will be on the,

00:08:16.960 it's on my Facebook page.

00:08:18.480 Okay, Glenn Beck Facebook page

00:08:20.060 and YouTube page.

00:08:23.080 Make sure you go there,

00:08:24.560 tell your friends,

00:08:26.640 or just call all of your friends

00:08:28.260 and watch it together,

00:08:29.300 you know, virtually.

00:08:31.340 But this one is stunning.

00:08:34.800 I want to go to Jason here in one minute

00:08:36.800 and we'll talk a little bit

00:08:38.800 about some of the new stuff

00:08:39.960 that is just popping up in the news today

00:08:42.320 that is not new.

00:08:44.400 It's not new.

00:08:47.640 It's actually just a verification

00:08:50.620 of something we already knew,

00:08:53.400 but no one was reporting on it.

00:08:57.020 And it is important that you know.

00:09:01.340 And we'll give this to you

00:09:02.260 in one minute.

00:11:42.540 head researcher,

00:11:43.940 head writer

00:11:44.780 for the Glenn Beck program,

00:11:46.240 you are the guy

00:11:46.920 that has really

00:11:48.920 spent all the time

00:11:49.720 to put the chalkboard

00:11:50.660 together

00:11:51.180 or the actual

00:11:51.900 timeline together

00:11:53.200 and I don't even

00:11:55.980 think you knew

00:11:56.900 last night

00:11:57.880 when we started

00:11:58.980 doing it together

00:11:59.760 and putting it up

00:12:00.440 on the chalkboard.

00:12:01.060 I don't even think

00:12:01.640 you knew

00:12:02.200 how devastating

00:12:03.880 it was.

00:12:04.920 Well,

00:12:04.940 and it's still

00:12:05.900 coming together.

00:12:06.780 We keep finding

00:12:07.640 more stuff.

00:12:08.840 I mean,

00:12:09.040 it's going to be

00:12:09.940 the,

00:12:10.720 you know,

00:12:11.060 it's going to be,

00:12:11.800 you know,

00:12:12.020 it is the smoking gun.

00:12:14.020 Which we did.

00:12:14.860 That's not what we

00:12:15.500 intended to discover

00:12:16.560 on this.

00:12:17.620 We didn't.

00:12:17.840 We didn't think we would.

00:12:19.340 And you know what?

00:12:20.000 We knew all of these

00:12:21.520 pieces,

00:12:22.020 not all of them,

00:12:22.740 some of the stuff

00:12:23.700 that you found

00:12:24.580 in your digging

00:12:25.740 is new,

00:12:27.420 but open source

00:12:29.500 and,

00:12:30.140 you know,

00:12:30.900 like court documents,

00:12:32.040 crazy,

00:12:32.900 crazy things

00:12:33.720 that you're like,

00:12:34.380 wait a minute.

00:12:35.920 This went,

00:12:36.680 already went to court

00:12:38.100 and there was a conviction

00:12:40.220 on it

00:12:40.740 and we don't know it.

00:12:42.200 Yeah.

00:12:42.660 It's amazing.

00:12:44.000 The interesting thing

00:12:44.800 about this project

00:12:45.540 as well

00:12:45.980 is we,

00:12:46.440 we knew that,

00:12:47.440 you know,

00:12:48.000 it's still,

00:12:48.400 when it started off,

00:12:49.140 we were like,

00:12:49.420 okay,

00:12:49.560 the Democrats have

00:12:50.400 accused the Trump

00:12:51.120 administration

00:12:51.620 now twice

00:12:52.840 for the same crime,

00:12:53.940 but different countries.

00:12:55.760 At this point,

00:12:56.160 I think they're just

00:12:56.740 starting in Russia

00:12:57.560 and they're just

00:12:57.940 moving west

00:12:58.540 till maybe they hit

00:12:59.300 the right,

00:12:59.720 you know,

00:13:00.020 bullseye.

00:13:00.720 I think they'll

00:13:01.480 accuse Poland next

00:13:02.640 of occluding

00:13:03.400 with the Trump

00:13:03.780 administration

00:13:04.140 of influencing

00:13:04.700 the election.

00:13:05.540 But we're like,

00:13:06.140 okay,

00:13:06.580 it's usually the person

00:13:07.660 that comes out

00:13:08.860 with the accusation

00:13:09.720 that,

00:13:10.300 you know,

00:13:10.620 if it's a wild

00:13:11.140 accusation,

00:13:11.780 they come out.

00:13:12.520 It's usually

00:13:12.980 that they're the ones

00:13:14.140 that think that,

00:13:15.120 you know,

00:13:15.300 they're probably guilty

00:13:16.420 of the same exact thing.

00:13:17.600 Yeah,

00:13:17.800 it's,

00:13:18.140 we've always said this,

00:13:19.160 that if somebody

00:13:20.020 diagnoses a problem

00:13:21.420 in somebody,

00:13:22.780 check them

00:13:23.700 because they're probably,

00:13:25.200 when you see something

00:13:26.280 you don't like

00:13:27.040 in somebody,

00:13:28.120 it's a reflection of

00:13:29.380 I've been there

00:13:30.320 or I am there,

00:13:31.560 usually.

00:13:32.200 I know this,

00:13:33.680 okay?

00:13:34.260 And,

00:13:34.900 and,

00:13:35.360 and that was

00:13:36.260 our first thought.

00:13:37.840 But this is more

00:13:39.980 like a Columbo episode.

00:13:41.820 We have a segment

00:13:42.960 in tonight.

00:13:43.680 I'm trying to break it down

00:13:44.600 and make it entertaining.

00:13:45.440 I think this is a really

00:13:47.660 bad Columbo episode.

00:13:49.320 And when you see

00:13:50.240 the acting

00:13:50.940 on Columbo

00:13:52.400 and then you look

00:13:53.280 at the acting

00:13:53.880 of Nancy Pelosi

00:13:54.840 and all the others involved,

00:13:56.120 it's a bad Columbo episode

00:13:58.360 because it follows.

00:13:59.780 I was,

00:14:00.420 I read the,

00:14:01.720 I read the initial outline.

00:14:03.360 What was it?

00:14:03.720 Two days ago.

00:14:04.880 And I was sitting

00:14:06.000 on the couch

00:14:06.660 behind Jason

00:14:08.240 in his desk

00:14:09.200 and I'm reading it

00:14:10.680 and you must have thought

00:14:11.980 I was nuts

00:14:12.620 because I,

00:14:13.180 all of a sudden

00:14:13.660 I went to my iPad

00:14:15.000 and I started watching

00:14:15.940 an episode of Columbo

00:14:17.180 and he just turns around

00:14:18.900 and looks at me

00:14:19.460 and I said,

00:14:20.080 wait,

00:14:20.360 just give me a second.

00:14:21.400 Not like we're busy

00:14:22.200 over here.

00:14:22.820 I know.

00:14:23.300 Keep watching the shows.

00:14:24.500 Keep watching Columbo

00:14:25.440 and I'm watching now

00:14:27.040 like,

00:14:27.260 give me a second,

00:14:27.860 give me a second.

00:14:28.580 And I come

00:14:29.380 and I show him

00:14:30.020 like five different clips

00:14:31.400 from Columbo

00:14:32.360 and I'm like,

00:14:33.600 this is that point.

00:14:35.640 This is that point.

00:14:37.280 We are at the point now

00:14:38.780 and you will see it tonight.

00:14:39.820 We're at the point

00:14:40.620 at the very end

00:14:42.000 of every episode

00:14:42.800 of Columbo

00:14:43.480 because remember

00:14:44.480 in this case,

00:14:45.480 you are Columbo.

00:14:47.440 When he walks away

00:14:48.840 and he's headed

00:14:49.440 towards the door

00:14:50.120 and he's like,

00:14:50.740 ah,

00:14:51.460 wait a minute.

00:14:52.460 Just one more thing.

00:14:54.520 Whenever he said that,

00:14:56.620 he knew the answer.

00:14:59.040 He knew the answer.

00:15:00.900 And that's where we're at.

00:15:02.600 We're at that very last scene.

00:15:04.540 Ah,

00:15:05.060 wait a minute.

00:15:05.680 One more thing.

00:15:06.780 You're about to nab the villain.

00:15:09.700 And when you see this,

00:15:11.100 it's overwhelming.

00:15:13.780 It's overwhelming.

00:15:15.000 And the real villain here,

00:15:16.620 honestly,

00:15:17.080 is the media.

00:15:18.540 I mean,

00:15:19.360 the real corruption

00:15:21.260 and power

00:15:21.920 and money

00:15:22.560 that has gone on.

00:15:24.120 Yeah,

00:15:24.240 I don't know

00:15:24.620 if you know this.

00:15:26.360 You have had

00:15:28.120 billions of dollars

00:15:29.840 swindled

00:15:30.640 out of your pocket.

00:15:32.480 The taxpayer money

00:15:34.040 that has been stolen

00:15:35.520 by somebody

00:15:37.800 is staggering.

00:15:40.800 Staggering.

00:15:42.320 And I can show you

00:15:43.500 pretty much

00:15:44.180 where it went.

00:15:45.720 I can show you

00:15:46.320 how it's going here.

00:15:48.860 What the system is

00:15:50.860 that was put in place

00:15:52.380 to make sure

00:15:52.860 those funds

00:15:53.480 were never found.

00:15:54.780 You know,

00:15:55.100 speaking of the media,

00:15:56.000 the derelict

00:15:56.500 of duty

00:15:57.080 that they're guilty of here,

00:15:58.840 I was stunned

00:15:59.580 just on the things

00:16:00.760 that they wouldn't report on.

00:16:02.120 So I started,

00:16:02.960 I was like,

00:16:03.260 you know,

00:16:03.400 these are very big deals

00:16:04.700 in Ukraine.

00:16:05.660 Like some of these things

00:16:06.240 that we're looking at,

00:16:06.900 like this should be

00:16:07.820 a big deal here.

00:16:08.580 Like front page paper

00:16:09.400 every day

00:16:10.560 for months

00:16:11.200 some of this stuff.

00:16:12.000 Yeah,

00:16:12.360 and no one has talked

00:16:13.540 about it here.

00:16:14.360 Like huge allegations.

00:16:16.240 It is these things

00:16:16.900 like directly involving

00:16:18.940 our elections.

00:16:20.120 We say we're looking,

00:16:22.160 did anybody influence

00:16:23.220 our elections?

00:16:24.120 They've had trials

00:16:25.760 in Ukraine

00:16:27.020 and they've convicted

00:16:28.840 two people

00:16:29.720 for interfering

00:16:31.740 in our election.

00:16:34.400 We have them

00:16:35.400 on tape.

00:16:36.940 What they said

00:16:38.100 on tape

00:16:39.200 is,

00:16:40.740 is,

00:16:41.900 like you're gonna get

00:16:43.020 hit in the face

00:16:43.640 with a shovel.

00:16:44.380 You will not believe

00:16:46.020 that this stuff exists.

00:16:47.880 Not only that,

00:16:48.660 but they admit to it

00:16:49.720 in their media.

00:16:50.980 Right.

00:16:51.960 Them saying it,

00:16:52.760 yeah,

00:16:52.980 that's what we did.

00:16:54.060 I'm like,

00:16:54.380 that's kind of newsworthy.

00:16:55.980 That's kind of a big deal.

00:16:57.180 When you're trying

00:16:57.680 to figure the whole thing out,

00:16:59.120 maybe we should listen

00:17:00.060 to the people

00:17:00.520 and people are like,

00:17:00.940 yep,

00:17:01.260 we did that.

00:17:49.720 Yesterday,

00:17:50.240 do we have the audio

00:17:51.240 of Donald Trump

00:17:52.340 in the White House?

00:17:54.280 Not in the,

00:17:55.100 not in the second

00:17:56.320 press conference,

00:17:57.080 but in the first one.

00:17:58.260 He was really angry

00:18:00.320 yesterday.

00:18:02.020 Here he is

00:18:02.960 in the Oval Office

00:18:03.840 speaking to the press.

00:18:05.500 Look,

00:18:05.780 Biden

00:18:06.180 and his son

00:18:07.660 are stone

00:18:09.460 called crooked

00:18:10.980 and you.

00:18:11.920 It's not the right one.

00:18:13.600 He went off

00:18:14.680 yesterday

00:18:15.280 in the Oval Office.

00:18:16.840 Tell me if you have it.

00:18:18.140 And he was

00:18:19.180 really,

00:18:20.460 really angry.

00:18:21.260 He didn't seem happy

00:18:21.920 in the first clip.

00:18:22.680 You're saying,

00:18:23.120 no,

00:18:23.560 it was worse

00:18:24.160 in the Oval Office.

00:18:25.140 Go ahead.

00:18:25.740 Adam Schiff.

00:18:26.560 He's a lowlife.

00:18:27.400 He should be forced

00:18:28.240 to resign.

00:18:29.560 He took a perfect

00:18:30.480 conversation,

00:18:32.000 realized he couldn't

00:18:32.940 read it to Congress

00:18:33.820 because it was perfect.

00:18:34.620 It was a very nice

00:18:35.280 conversation.

00:18:35.900 I knew many people

00:18:37.180 who were on the phone.

00:18:38.340 Not only were many

00:18:39.100 people on the phone,

00:18:40.380 we had stenographers

00:18:41.500 on the phone

00:18:42.580 taking it down

00:18:43.540 word for word.

00:18:44.440 He took that

00:18:45.180 conversation,

00:18:46.280 which was perfect.

00:18:47.500 He said,

00:18:48.380 I can't read this.

00:18:49.860 So he made up

00:18:50.940 a conversation

00:18:51.780 and he reported it

00:18:53.580 and said it

00:18:54.560 to Congress

00:18:55.100 and to the American people.

00:18:56.640 And it was horrible

00:18:57.640 what he said.

00:18:58.980 And that was supposed

00:19:00.120 to be coming from me.

00:19:01.520 But it was all fabricated.

00:19:03.300 He should resign

00:19:04.160 from office

00:19:04.860 in disgrace.

00:19:05.900 And frankly,

00:19:07.180 they should look

00:19:07.760 at him for treason

00:19:08.560 because he is

00:19:09.240 making up the words

00:19:10.740 of the President

00:19:11.400 of the United States.

00:19:12.640 That's not treason.

00:19:14.840 And treason,

00:19:16.360 please,

00:19:16.880 both sides,

00:19:17.840 let's stop using

00:19:18.820 the word treason.

00:19:19.900 Treason is the only

00:19:21.480 crime

00:19:22.340 that has a punishment

00:19:24.720 attached to it

00:19:25.880 in the Constitution.

00:19:27.920 You have to have

00:19:29.080 two eyewitnesses.

00:19:31.240 And if you have

00:19:32.360 two eyewitnesses

00:19:33.880 seeing you commit

00:19:35.440 treason,

00:19:36.960 and that's defined

00:19:37.980 in the Constitution,

00:19:39.540 it's immediate

00:19:40.680 and irrevocable

00:19:45.560 execution.

00:19:47.480 You're not going to be

00:19:48.200 tried and like,

00:19:48.820 oh, we're going to give

00:19:49.480 you life in prison.

00:19:50.160 No.

00:19:51.040 The only punishment

00:19:52.460 it can receive

00:19:53.340 is execution.

00:19:54.860 That's in the Constitution.

00:19:55.960 So, can we please

00:19:58.240 stop using the word

00:19:59.200 treason?

00:20:00.040 Now, what Schiff did

00:20:01.800 was crappy.

00:20:04.500 Was crappy.

00:20:05.400 Because he oversold.

00:20:08.440 He put things

00:20:09.580 in the President's mouth.

00:20:10.880 He says he was

00:20:11.620 doing a parody.

00:20:12.420 That's not your role.

00:20:13.440 You are sitting there

00:20:14.880 behind a microphone

00:20:16.340 with your

00:20:17.020 congressional nameplate

00:20:18.680 and you are

00:20:20.640 characterizing

00:20:23.380 a phone call

00:20:24.620 before it comes out.

00:20:26.600 And you have

00:20:28.120 knowledge

00:20:29.820 of that phone call

00:20:31.040 in advance.

00:20:32.340 I think the President

00:20:33.160 was right.

00:20:33.880 I think Schiff

00:20:34.620 actually may have

00:20:36.000 helped write

00:20:36.940 the

00:20:38.540 whistleblowers

00:20:40.660 stuff.

00:20:41.620 At least attorneys

00:20:42.580 definitely did.

00:20:44.140 And I think the Democrats

00:20:45.340 had something

00:20:46.320 to do with it.

00:20:46.960 it was written

00:20:48.020 by a committee

00:20:48.980 and I wouldn't

00:20:49.660 put it past

00:20:50.240 shift

00:20:50.620 on doing that.

00:20:54.540 But the President

00:20:55.540 was so frustrated

00:20:57.740 because no one

00:20:59.160 is looking

00:20:59.900 for the truth.

00:21:01.720 This is the

00:21:02.260 laziest

00:21:02.900 and I'm giving

00:21:03.760 them the benefit

00:21:05.740 of the doubt

00:21:06.400 that no one

00:21:07.520 would.

00:21:08.580 They are the

00:21:09.380 laziest

00:21:10.340 group of

00:21:11.320 reporters

00:21:11.780 I have ever

00:21:12.800 seen.

00:21:15.080 They are not

00:21:16.380 doing any

00:21:17.560 actual work

00:21:18.840 on anything

00:21:20.000 of importance.

00:21:21.860 They are going

00:21:22.340 for the lowest

00:21:23.240 hanging fruit

00:21:24.260 and the fruit

00:21:25.120 that has been

00:21:26.060 prepared for

00:21:27.120 them and

00:21:28.020 served up.

00:21:28.980 You guys

00:21:29.420 are lapdogs

00:21:30.840 to realize

00:21:32.760 you are either

00:21:33.960 in on it

00:21:34.880 or you are

00:21:36.660 the biggest

00:21:37.380 you're the

00:21:38.040 dumbest group

00:21:39.180 of people

00:21:39.760 and the

00:21:40.560 laziest

00:21:40.980 group of

00:21:41.520 people.

00:21:42.200 You are being

00:21:42.760 used

00:21:43.660 and maybe

00:21:44.840 that's fine

00:21:45.460 with you

00:21:45.920 because of

00:21:46.980 your hatred

00:21:47.520 of Donald

00:21:48.060 Trump or

00:21:48.620 whatever.

00:21:49.260 Look, the

00:21:49.620 guy is hard

00:21:50.480 to like.

00:21:51.620 We got it.

00:21:52.520 He's hard

00:21:53.000 to like.

00:21:53.880 He does a lot

00:21:54.700 of things

00:21:55.100 that I'm like,

00:21:55.600 oh, please

00:21:56.320 don't do that,

00:21:56.960 Mr. President.

00:21:59.440 But he is

00:22:00.420 not guilty

00:22:01.420 of what you're

00:22:02.400 saying he is.

00:22:03.720 But what's

00:22:04.280 more is the

00:22:06.300 people you are

00:22:07.260 in bed with

00:22:07.960 are guilty

00:22:09.200 of it.

00:22:09.860 we'll

00:22:13.100 expose it

00:22:13.640 tonight.

00:22:14.380 Now, I

00:22:14.900 don't have

00:22:15.280 the staff

00:22:15.820 of the

00:22:16.140 New York

00:22:16.420 Times.

00:22:16.780 I don't

00:22:16.960 have the

00:22:17.320 staff of

00:22:17.760 the Washington

00:22:18.160 Post.

00:22:18.500 I don't

00:22:18.720 have the

00:22:19.160 money that

00:22:19.620 they have

00:22:20.140 to do

00:22:20.940 investigations

00:22:21.720 on everything.

00:22:23.160 We can

00:22:23.820 point you

00:22:24.360 in the

00:22:24.620 right

00:22:24.820 direction.

00:22:25.720 We can

00:22:26.280 show you

00:22:26.740 the stuff

00:22:27.200 that is

00:22:27.560 already out

00:22:28.560 in the

00:22:29.120 system.

00:22:30.740 We can

00:22:31.420 piece it

00:22:31.840 all together.

00:22:33.960 But if

00:22:34.580 the press

00:22:35.020 wanted to,

00:22:36.320 they could

00:22:37.020 take this

00:22:38.540 and they

00:22:39.160 could name

00:22:39.820 all the

00:22:40.400 names at

00:22:41.120 the top.

00:22:42.840 And if

00:22:43.420 they did

00:22:43.800 that, I'm

00:22:44.760 telling you

00:22:45.280 the DNC

00:22:46.160 would be

00:22:46.580 over.

00:22:47.440 People will

00:22:47.980 be so

00:22:48.540 disgusted

00:22:49.500 by this.

00:22:51.300 When you

00:22:51.740 see this,

00:22:52.600 and you

00:22:52.840 have to

00:22:53.120 understand,

00:22:53.940 billions of

00:22:54.980 your dollars

00:22:55.640 have been

00:22:56.880 literally

00:22:57.560 stolen from

00:22:59.100 you.

00:22:59.700 We have

00:23:00.320 no idea

00:23:00.780 what happened

00:23:01.180 to those

00:23:01.500 dollars.

00:23:02.020 We can

00:23:02.480 make guesses,

00:23:03.820 but we

00:23:04.280 have no

00:23:04.820 idea where

00:23:05.460 billions of

00:23:06.660 your hard-earned

00:23:07.820 dollars went.

00:23:08.580 We released

00:23:09.680 it to

00:23:10.000 Ukraine.

00:23:10.720 Then the

00:23:11.340 Ukrainians

00:23:11.980 said,

00:23:12.540 hey, there

00:23:13.520 was like

00:23:13.840 1.8

00:23:14.540 billion dollars

00:23:15.240 over here.

00:23:15.900 There were

00:23:16.080 2 million

00:23:16.560 dollars over

00:23:17.140 here.

00:23:17.620 There was

00:23:18.040 another

00:23:18.340 billion over

00:23:19.020 here.

00:23:19.860 We can't

00:23:20.740 find any

00:23:21.240 of that.

00:23:21.960 Where did

00:23:22.260 that money

00:23:22.660 go?

00:23:23.540 And what

00:23:24.040 did our

00:23:24.340 government

00:23:24.660 say?

00:23:25.580 Don't look

00:23:26.240 for it.

00:23:26.620 Don't look.

00:23:27.120 Don't look.

00:23:27.600 Don't look.

00:23:28.300 Don't look.

00:23:30.220 Excuse me?

00:23:31.220 You will

00:23:37.100 see how

00:23:37.940 information

00:23:38.720 that was

00:23:39.240 they were

00:23:39.820 they were

00:23:40.780 doing

00:23:41.820 everything

00:23:42.260 they could

00:23:43.120 to get

00:23:44.180 to us

00:23:45.040 was blocked

00:23:46.620 by the

00:23:47.100 administration.

00:23:48.680 Not this

00:23:49.620 administration.

00:23:51.040 By all

00:23:52.020 the administration

00:23:52.760 and officials

00:23:53.980 put in

00:23:54.460 by the

00:23:54.980 last

00:23:55.400 administration

00:23:56.160 and all

00:23:57.560 the DNC

00:23:58.280 operatives.

00:23:58.860 That's

00:24:02.700 why the

00:24:03.000 president

00:24:03.340 is upset.

00:24:04.760 But the

00:24:05.120 president

00:24:05.500 shouldn't

00:24:06.280 be.

00:24:07.480 He's

00:24:08.000 frustrated

00:24:08.520 because the

00:24:09.320 people on

00:24:10.060 the right

00:24:10.660 don't have

00:24:11.780 the power

00:24:12.360 of the

00:24:12.920 voice.

00:24:13.640 Our

00:24:13.960 voice is

00:24:14.640 being

00:24:14.940 throttled

00:24:15.640 down by

00:24:16.840 the same

00:24:17.620 kind of

00:24:18.240 system.

00:24:19.400 The same

00:24:20.400 kind of

00:24:20.940 cronyism.

00:24:22.640 The people

00:24:23.020 who have

00:24:23.400 worked for

00:24:23.940 Nancy Pelosi

00:24:24.760 worked for

00:24:25.620 Hillary Clinton

00:24:26.240 are now

00:24:27.140 the people

00:24:27.740 in charge

00:24:28.840 of who

00:24:29.400 gets

00:24:29.820 throttled

00:24:30.340 down.

00:24:30.900 What

00:24:31.040 voices

00:24:31.460 are heard

00:24:31.980 and what

00:24:32.560 voices

00:24:32.920 aren't

00:24:33.320 heard.

00:24:35.680 Gee,

00:24:36.520 I think

00:24:36.760 that's a

00:24:37.140 problem.

00:24:39.100 And so

00:24:40.140 this is

00:24:41.480 not

00:24:42.100 going to

00:24:43.420 be

00:24:44.000 everywhere

00:24:45.240 because

00:24:45.760 we don't

00:24:47.100 have a

00:24:47.900 central

00:24:48.440 headquarters.

00:24:49.380 We're not

00:24:49.900 CBS.

00:24:50.760 We're not

00:24:51.060 ABC.

00:24:52.140 We're not

00:24:52.800 the mainstream

00:24:53.460 media.

00:24:54.480 We're Ben

00:24:55.400 Shapiro and

00:24:56.200 Glenn Beck

00:24:56.860 and Cheryl

00:25:00.680 Atkinson,

00:25:01.800 whoever.

00:25:04.000 Joe Rogan.

00:25:05.140 We're not

00:25:05.620 together.

00:25:07.540 But we

00:25:08.340 need to

00:25:08.720 start listening

00:25:09.440 to each

00:25:09.960 other.

00:25:10.260 We need

00:25:10.500 to start

00:25:10.860 working

00:25:11.320 together in

00:25:12.300 some things

00:25:13.080 and we

00:25:13.460 need to

00:25:13.980 if somebody

00:25:14.640 is pulling

00:25:15.340 all of a

00:25:16.860 narrative

00:25:17.200 together like

00:25:17.900 we are

00:25:18.240 now,

00:25:18.980 if it was

00:25:19.900 Mark Levin,

00:25:22.140 Mark Levin

00:25:22.940 had John

00:25:25.560 Solomon on

00:25:26.520 on Fox

00:25:28.000 on Sunday.

00:25:29.700 John Solomon

00:25:30.340 is a guy

00:25:30.880 who is being

00:25:31.440 destroyed right

00:25:32.720 now.

00:25:33.600 Destroyed.

00:25:34.920 And Mark

00:25:35.980 Levin had

00:25:36.600 access to be

00:25:37.520 able to get

00:25:38.120 into people's

00:25:38.720 living rooms

00:25:39.220 and if you

00:25:39.640 missed it,

00:25:40.180 go to

00:25:40.420 YouTube and

00:25:41.020 find it.

00:25:41.620 Donald Trump

00:25:47.720 is at the

00:25:49.860 end of his

00:25:50.460 rope and

00:25:51.080 they know

00:25:51.680 it.

00:25:52.440 We told you

00:25:53.100 on 60

00:25:53.520 Minutes,

00:25:53.860 I told you

00:25:54.220 yesterday,

00:25:54.640 why Hillary

00:25:55.220 Clinton said

00:25:55.980 he's an

00:25:56.660 illegitimate

00:25:57.100 president.

00:25:58.440 He's just an

00:25:59.100 illegitimate

00:25:59.520 president.

00:25:59.940 Why is she

00:26:01.680 doing that?

00:26:02.780 First of all,

00:26:04.320 could we

00:26:04.600 please play

00:26:05.140 the little

00:26:05.500 montage of

00:26:06.320 what they

00:26:06.600 were saying

00:26:07.120 about Donald

00:26:08.000 Trump before

00:26:09.220 he was

00:26:09.880 elected?

00:26:10.780 Because they

00:26:11.580 said he's

00:26:12.640 going to say

00:26:13.120 the president,

00:26:14.320 Hillary Clinton,

00:26:15.280 is an

00:26:15.900 illegitimate

00:26:16.500 president.

00:26:17.820 Listen to

00:26:18.600 this little

00:26:19.000 montage here.

00:26:20.160 The loser

00:26:20.720 concedes to

00:26:21.660 the winner,

00:26:22.120 not saying

00:26:22.600 that you're

00:26:23.020 necessarily

00:26:23.520 going to be

00:26:24.080 the loser

00:26:24.480 or the winner,

00:26:25.360 but that the

00:26:25.720 loser concedes

00:26:26.500 to the winner

00:26:27.160 and that the

00:26:28.040 country comes

00:26:29.000 together in

00:26:29.780 part for the

00:26:30.300 good of the

00:26:30.660 country.

00:26:31.460 Are you

00:26:31.700 saying you're

00:26:32.120 not prepared

00:26:32.960 now to

00:26:33.300 commit to

00:26:33.760 that principle?

00:26:34.220 What I'm

00:26:34.380 saying is that

00:26:34.620 I will tell

00:26:35.260 you at the

00:26:35.700 time, I'll

00:26:36.340 keep you in

00:26:36.840 suspense.

00:26:37.580 Well, Chris,

00:26:38.280 let me respond

00:26:39.120 to that because

00:26:39.720 that's horrifying.

00:26:41.180 You start

00:26:41.460 whining before

00:26:42.100 the game's

00:26:42.560 even over?

00:26:43.140 If whenever

00:26:43.920 things are

00:26:44.520 going badly

00:26:45.000 for you and

00:26:45.780 you lose,

00:26:46.220 you start

00:26:46.480 blaming somebody

00:26:47.200 else, then

00:26:49.620 you don't have

00:26:50.080 what it takes

00:26:50.480 to be in

00:26:50.820 this job.

00:26:51.320 Reckless and

00:26:52.120 dangerous

00:26:52.460 discussion about

00:26:53.460 the legitimacy

00:26:54.040 of American

00:26:54.660 elections,

00:26:55.380 something that's

00:26:55.780 never been

00:26:56.200 challenged before

00:26:56.920 by any major

00:26:57.880 party candidate.

00:26:58.600 I think it is

00:26:59.260 quite outrageous

00:27:00.040 to have a

00:27:00.520 candidate make

00:27:01.540 these kinds of

00:27:02.420 comments and

00:27:03.660 not accept what

00:27:05.120 the outcome of

00:27:07.040 the election is

00:27:07.580 going to be,

00:27:08.080 especially given

00:27:09.120 the way it's

00:27:09.540 said in the

00:27:09.760 United States.

00:27:10.360 It's impossible

00:27:10.960 to rig an

00:27:11.720 election in the

00:27:12.240 United States.

00:27:12.800 We have far

00:27:13.800 too many people

00:27:14.500 in control of

00:27:15.760 different parts

00:27:16.520 of it.

00:27:16.880 He will not

00:27:17.500 stand in front

00:27:18.240 of his own

00:27:18.800 country, in

00:27:19.880 front of his

00:27:20.240 own nation, and

00:27:21.000 say that he

00:27:22.060 respects the

00:27:23.200 process and the

00:27:23.800 outcome.

00:27:24.240 That is an

00:27:24.740 outrage, the

00:27:25.440 appalling lack

00:27:26.540 of patriotism from

00:27:27.840 this man.

00:27:28.300 To say you

00:27:29.140 won't respect the

00:27:30.100 results of the

00:27:30.720 election, that is

00:27:32.180 a direct threat to

00:27:33.900 our democracy.

00:27:35.260 Look, some

00:27:35.720 people are sore

00:27:36.440 losers and, you

00:27:37.500 know, we just

00:27:38.220 got to keep

00:27:39.580 going.

00:27:40.180 I believe he

00:27:41.120 knows he's an

00:27:41.800 illegitimate

00:27:42.340 president.

00:27:43.140 He knows.

00:27:45.600 So why is he

00:27:46.740 doing that?

00:27:47.460 Because, look,

00:27:49.820 Donald Trump is

00:27:51.100 is a guy who

00:27:54.560 doesn't like to

00:27:56.860 be called

00:27:57.440 illegitimate, and

00:27:58.880 everybody knows

00:27:59.900 that.

00:28:00.920 Everybody knows

00:28:01.840 if you want to

00:28:02.520 get along with

00:28:03.120 him, just say,

00:28:04.620 you know, by the

00:28:05.380 way, you're

00:28:05.680 great.

00:28:06.520 And he

00:28:06.820 appreciates that.

00:28:08.480 If you say you

00:28:10.060 are this or that,

00:28:11.940 he doesn't like

00:28:12.740 that.

00:28:13.560 And especially if

00:28:14.880 he knows that is

00:28:16.060 not true.

00:28:17.840 This whole

00:28:18.500 collusion thing

00:28:19.600 with Russia is

00:28:21.440 not true, and

00:28:22.740 they're doubling

00:28:23.420 down on it.

00:28:24.920 How does this

00:28:25.580 phone call make

00:28:27.160 him an illegitimate

00:28:28.260 president?

00:28:28.960 The Russia

00:28:29.840 investigation showed

00:28:31.220 no, that didn't

00:28:32.540 happen.

00:28:33.660 So why are they

00:28:34.720 now saying and

00:28:35.740 doubling down on

00:28:36.780 illegitimate

00:28:37.380 president?

00:28:38.020 Because it drives

00:28:39.240 him nuts, and

00:28:40.560 they want him to

00:28:41.840 make a mistake.

00:28:43.400 Please, Mr.

00:28:44.380 President, please

00:28:45.660 stop watching

00:28:47.340 television.

00:28:48.300 Stop listening to

00:28:49.560 these people.

00:28:50.420 I know this is

00:28:51.360 asking an awful

00:28:52.540 lot of you, but

00:28:53.820 don't listen to

00:28:55.460 them.

00:28:55.920 They are, they

00:28:56.820 are baiting you.

00:28:58.540 They are trying

00:28:59.860 to get you angry

00:29:00.840 because you will

00:29:01.800 make a mistake.

00:29:03.720 Please, please,

00:29:05.740 the truth will

00:29:06.940 come out.

00:29:07.780 It is so close

00:29:09.200 right now.

00:29:10.640 This is, this is

00:29:11.880 the moment you've

00:29:12.940 waited for.

00:29:14.440 The evidence is

00:29:15.900 there.

00:29:16.360 And if the

00:29:17.240 GOP and

00:29:18.840 leadership of

00:29:19.900 the conservative

00:29:21.180 movement will

00:29:21.840 actually listen

00:29:23.480 and put the

00:29:25.120 whole thing

00:29:25.760 together, the

00:29:27.580 narrative changes

00:29:28.560 overnight.

00:29:30.520 Please, Mr.

00:29:31.580 President, stop

00:29:33.080 listening to them.

00:29:34.460 this is the best

00:29:38.120 of the Glenn

00:29:38.580 Beck program.

00:29:50.100 Like listening to

00:29:51.020 this podcast?

00:29:51.880 If you're not a

00:29:52.680 subscriber, become

00:29:53.680 one now on iTunes.

00:29:55.180 And while you're

00:29:55.620 there, do us a

00:29:56.520 favor and rate the

00:29:57.280 show.

00:29:58.060 Let me show you

00:29:58.720 something that will

00:29:59.540 make you feel good.

00:30:00.200 Do you remember

00:30:00.580 that really weird

00:30:01.920 story of the cop

00:30:03.800 shooting the guy

00:30:05.640 in the apartment

00:30:07.220 that he lived

00:30:08.640 above her, I

00:30:09.380 think.

00:30:10.000 Yeah, one floor

00:30:10.680 above her.

00:30:11.740 She's a cop.

00:30:12.680 She comes home.

00:30:13.620 She opens up the

00:30:14.300 door and she

00:30:15.680 walks in and she

00:30:16.740 sees a guy sitting

00:30:17.720 down watching TV

00:30:19.500 in what she says

00:30:20.860 was her apartment.

00:30:22.180 She freaks out.

00:30:24.140 We don't know

00:30:25.180 exactly what

00:30:25.760 happened.

00:30:26.240 And then she

00:30:26.960 shoots him and

00:30:27.840 kills him.

00:30:28.840 Well, it turns

00:30:29.760 out she wasn't

00:30:30.500 in her apartment.

00:30:31.700 She was on the

00:30:32.460 wrong floor.

00:30:33.500 She was in his

00:30:34.560 apartment.

00:30:35.740 Well, the trial

00:30:36.680 just went on and

00:30:37.660 she was convicted.

00:30:39.100 So she's going to

00:30:40.360 jail.

00:30:40.900 But I want you to

00:30:41.960 listen to the

00:30:43.280 brother of the

00:30:45.500 victim as she's

00:30:47.380 getting ready to be

00:30:48.120 sentenced.

00:30:48.840 Listen to this.

00:30:50.480 And I wasn't

00:30:52.180 going to ever say

00:30:53.260 this in front of

00:30:54.100 my family or

00:30:55.840 anyone, but

00:30:57.020 I don't even

00:31:00.180 want you to go

00:31:01.000 to jail.

00:31:03.340 I want the

00:31:04.320 best for you

00:31:06.080 because I know

00:31:10.640 that's exactly what

00:31:12.040 both of them would

00:31:12.520 want you to do.

00:31:14.240 And the best would

00:31:15.380 be give your life

00:31:16.680 to Christ.

00:31:21.280 I'm not going to

00:31:22.140 say anything else.

00:31:23.080 I think giving

00:31:24.700 your life to

00:31:25.280 Christ would be

00:31:25.880 the best thing

00:31:28.200 that both of them

00:31:29.900 would want you to

00:31:30.500 do.

00:31:33.300 Again, I love you

00:31:34.440 as a person.

00:31:39.980 And I don't wish

00:31:40.940 anything bad on

00:31:42.560 you.

00:31:45.820 Listen to this.

00:31:46.640 I don't know if

00:31:48.920 this is possible,

00:31:49.860 but can I give her

00:31:51.240 a hug, please?

00:31:54.720 And they hug in the

00:31:55.720 courtroom and sob.

00:31:58.620 This is...

00:32:01.220 You know, I...

00:32:03.640 You know what the

00:32:08.180 problem is in our

00:32:09.380 world today?

00:32:10.180 Is we've all

00:32:11.080 forgotten who we

00:32:11.760 are.

00:32:13.340 We forgot who

00:32:14.760 we are.

00:32:17.360 Where we came

00:32:18.200 from.

00:32:18.920 And I don't mean

00:32:19.660 I came from here

00:32:21.120 and these people

00:32:21.940 were my parents.

00:32:22.720 I mean,

00:32:23.380 really where we

00:32:25.500 came from.

00:32:29.460 This is a

00:32:30.440 profound moment

00:32:32.240 of Christianity.

00:32:37.500 She killed

00:32:38.380 his brother.

00:32:41.340 He forgives

00:32:42.480 her.

00:32:42.800 says, I don't

00:32:44.880 even want you

00:32:45.360 to go to jail.

00:32:46.060 I just want

00:32:46.540 what's best for

00:32:47.420 you.

00:32:49.640 And loves

00:32:50.460 her.

00:32:53.740 I don't know

00:32:54.320 about anybody

00:32:54.700 else.

00:32:58.040 But in a way,

00:32:59.040 if that guy

00:32:59.720 were me,

00:33:00.720 I'd hope I was

00:33:01.820 hit by a bus

00:33:02.620 today because I

00:33:03.420 don't think I'm

00:33:04.020 going to get any

00:33:04.760 better review from

00:33:06.260 the Lord than

00:33:07.020 that.

00:33:08.060 You know what I

00:33:08.740 mean?

00:33:09.000 The next day I

00:33:09.960 could be like,

00:33:10.420 ah, shut up!

00:33:11.280 Your rotten

00:33:12.620 tomatoes from

00:33:13.300 God is like

00:33:14.280 100%.

00:33:14.800 It is 100%

00:33:15.780 on that.

00:33:16.760 That is one of

00:33:17.720 the most

00:33:18.120 compelling,

00:33:19.520 beautiful things

00:33:20.420 I have seen.

00:33:21.320 And it reminds

00:33:22.120 us of who

00:33:22.980 we're supposed

00:33:23.540 to be.

00:33:24.420 It also reminds

00:33:25.180 us that,

00:33:26.260 because I mean,

00:33:27.780 we act as

00:33:29.680 aggrieved

00:33:30.660 parties so

00:33:32.180 often.

00:33:33.380 You know,

00:33:33.580 I mean,

00:33:33.820 it just,

00:33:34.400 it puts so

00:33:35.240 much into

00:33:35.600 perspective.

00:33:36.160 Think of all

00:33:36.480 the times that

00:33:37.080 like, you know,

00:33:37.960 the things that

00:33:38.760 we complain

00:33:39.280 about.

00:33:40.160 You know,

00:33:40.360 the things that

00:33:40.900 we act as if,

00:33:41.960 well, look,

00:33:42.560 yes, I know

00:33:43.000 we're supposed to

00:33:43.480 act that way,

00:33:44.100 but this is too

00:33:44.960 important!

00:33:45.620 I mean, how many

00:33:46.060 times do we do

00:33:46.540 that?

00:33:46.980 All the time.

00:33:47.640 With the news?

00:33:48.540 Oh, I'm going to

00:33:49.240 tweet this because

00:33:50.120 I, you know,

00:33:51.420 this is too big.

00:33:52.540 I know I'm

00:33:53.180 supposed to act

00:33:53.820 that way, but I'm

00:33:54.440 going to act this

00:33:54.920 way this time

00:33:55.600 because this is

00:33:56.200 too important.

00:33:57.040 This guy had his

00:33:57.580 brother killed

00:33:58.720 while he was

00:33:59.140 eating ice cream

00:33:59.900 on the couch

00:34:00.400 by this woman.

00:34:01.920 and, you

00:34:04.300 know, he is

00:34:05.660 showing what

00:34:07.660 we're supposed

00:34:08.220 to be to

00:34:09.200 everybody and

00:34:10.780 he's done more

00:34:12.040 good in that

00:34:13.280 moment than

00:34:13.900 I know I'll

00:34:15.600 probably ever do

00:34:16.340 in my entire

00:34:16.780 life.

00:34:17.060 I agree.

00:34:17.540 Right?

00:34:17.720 I mean, like,

00:34:18.060 how many people

00:34:18.700 are going to

00:34:19.040 watch that video

00:34:19.800 and have, I

00:34:21.000 bet that's going

00:34:21.480 to change

00:34:21.840 thousands of

00:34:22.560 lives watching

00:34:23.240 that.

00:34:23.520 I mean, it

00:34:23.920 changes your

00:34:24.480 perspective

00:34:24.880 immediately.

00:34:26.380 Immediately.

00:34:27.820 You imagine?

00:34:30.080 Is there, would

00:34:30.760 there be any

00:34:31.760 thing harder

00:34:34.080 to do?

00:34:36.880 Somebody kills

00:34:37.720 a family member

00:34:38.700 of yours.

00:34:39.780 It's like the

00:34:40.520 Amish.

00:34:42.380 I gotta tell

00:34:43.200 you, I don't

00:34:44.320 want to dress,

00:34:45.560 you know, with

00:34:46.000 a big hat and

00:34:47.140 go work a

00:34:49.380 plow without

00:34:50.160 any electricity.

00:34:51.460 Not a big

00:34:51.780 butter churner?

00:34:52.660 I'm not a big

00:34:53.640 butter churner.

00:34:54.540 Raised barns?

00:34:55.540 They work way

00:34:56.620 too hard for

00:34:57.740 me.

00:34:58.020 Yes.

00:34:58.760 But if,

00:35:00.640 if, remember

00:35:01.720 when the guy

00:35:02.980 came in and

00:35:03.540 shot all their

00:35:04.240 children and

00:35:05.740 that day they

00:35:07.040 went to the,

00:35:08.040 the killer's

00:35:09.260 house to

00:35:10.640 comfort his

00:35:11.540 family?

00:35:12.400 Yeah.

00:35:13.440 That made me

00:35:14.220 go, you know

00:35:14.740 what, there's

00:35:15.200 something to

00:35:15.600 being Amish.

00:35:16.460 I mean, if

00:35:18.040 you give me

00:35:18.720 just an hour

00:35:20.260 of electricity

00:35:21.660 or a blender

00:35:23.700 that I can whip

00:35:24.680 that butter up

00:35:25.400 quickly, I

00:35:26.180 might consider

00:35:27.260 it.

00:35:27.560 that's, that's,

00:35:30.040 that's really

00:35:30.660 who we are.

00:35:31.380 It's so funny

00:35:32.180 because I was

00:35:33.020 driving in this

00:35:34.280 morning.

00:35:36.600 I shouldn't say

00:35:37.620 it that way.

00:35:39.520 I got here

00:35:42.040 this morning and

00:35:42.920 I started,

00:35:43.700 started watching

00:35:45.440 a video of

00:35:47.100 the news.

00:35:48.360 You know,

00:35:48.800 sometimes I

00:35:49.420 listen to some,

00:35:50.300 you know, and

00:35:50.640 I'm in the car,

00:35:51.260 I'm just listening.

00:35:51.940 Anyway, so

00:35:53.240 did you see

00:35:54.580 the video of

00:35:55.940 the, the

00:35:57.560 dog that was

00:35:58.960 out in the

00:36:00.220 middle of this

00:36:01.040 river, like in

00:36:01.980 this giant

00:36:02.780 ravine, and

00:36:04.980 it looked like

00:36:05.440 it was, it

00:36:06.700 was all

00:36:07.060 concrete, so

00:36:07.720 it kind of

00:36:08.020 looked like

00:36:08.320 almost like a

00:36:08.900 dam, and

00:36:10.060 this dog was

00:36:11.100 trapped right

00:36:11.780 on the edge

00:36:12.560 of this water

00:36:13.640 and it was

00:36:14.140 pushing the

00:36:14.800 dog close to

00:36:15.600 the edge, and

00:36:17.200 somebody saw

00:36:18.060 this dog, he

00:36:18.700 was all by

00:36:19.040 himself, he

00:36:19.820 sees this dog

00:36:20.780 in there, and

00:36:21.780 he decides to

00:36:22.540 climb down

00:36:23.280 into the

00:36:23.860 ravine, and

00:36:24.860 go get that

00:36:25.560 dog, so now

00:36:26.220 the water is

00:36:26.780 hitting him and

00:36:27.540 pushing him

00:36:28.120 towards the

00:36:28.620 edge, he

00:36:29.540 goes out and

00:36:30.340 he grabs the

00:36:31.220 dog, and the

00:36:32.440 dog is freaked

00:36:33.400 out, and he

00:36:34.880 gets to the

00:36:35.480 edge, and then

00:36:35.900 he looks up to

00:36:36.540 this giant cement

00:36:37.680 wall and is

00:36:38.300 like, crap, how

00:36:39.240 am I going to

00:36:39.760 get back up, let

00:36:41.460 alone with the

00:36:42.300 dog, and he

00:36:43.660 tries to start

00:36:44.380 to climb up, and

00:36:45.520 he can't do it,

00:36:46.480 somebody sees

00:36:47.280 him, and so

00:36:48.560 another guy

00:36:49.180 reaches down, and

00:36:50.880 he's like, here,

00:36:51.520 give me your

00:36:51.880 hand, but

00:36:52.480 he's like, four

00:36:53.820 people away,

00:36:55.000 literally, somebody

00:36:56.840 else walks by, they

00:36:57.880 start this human

00:36:58.580 chain, somebody

00:36:59.320 else walks by,

00:37:00.340 pretty soon, there's

00:37:01.040 like ten people,

00:37:02.700 none of them know

00:37:03.440 each other, all

00:37:04.680 trying to save

00:37:05.900 this dog, and

00:37:06.840 they create a

00:37:07.960 human chain all

00:37:09.140 the way down into

00:37:10.160 the river, and

00:37:11.280 then they just

00:37:11.840 pull him and the

00:37:13.000 dog up, and I

00:37:15.340 thought, this is

00:37:17.580 who we are, you

00:37:19.520 don't see this

00:37:20.400 stuff, you don't

00:37:21.120 hear people

00:37:21.560 talking about

00:37:22.360 this, but this

00:37:23.080 is who we

00:37:23.540 are, we're

00:37:24.940 people who

00:37:25.480 help each

00:37:26.120 other, we're

00:37:28.940 people who

00:37:29.620 somebody right

00:37:31.400 now is being

00:37:32.420 bullied, maybe

00:37:34.420 in school, and

00:37:35.820 there's a kid

00:37:36.660 that is standing

00:37:37.960 up for that

00:37:39.240 kid, there's a

00:37:40.760 teacher who is

00:37:41.940 helping somebody

00:37:42.700 who feels very,

00:37:44.040 very alone, and

00:37:46.720 really lost, and

00:37:47.880 behind in their

00:37:48.720 work, and they

00:37:49.320 just can't seem

00:37:50.100 to get it

00:37:50.480 together, and

00:37:50.940 there is a

00:37:51.380 teacher there

00:37:51.980 that is helping

00:37:52.600 them, we

00:37:55.100 lose the

00:37:57.300 little picture,

00:37:58.600 we can't look

00:37:59.360 at the big

00:37:59.760 picture, look at

00:38:00.380 this Trump

00:38:00.760 thing, tonight

00:38:01.440 we're going to

00:38:01.840 show you the

00:38:02.840 big picture, and

00:38:04.040 everybody wants

00:38:04.540 you to zoom in

00:38:05.340 on the phone

00:38:05.840 call, look at

00:38:06.220 the phone call,

00:38:06.640 look at the

00:38:06.880 phone call, look

00:38:07.320 at the phone

00:38:07.600 call, look at

00:38:07.940 the phone call,

00:38:08.780 no, don't look

00:38:09.300 at the phone

00:38:09.600 call, come back

00:38:11.240 to the phone

00:38:11.680 call, zoom out

00:38:13.240 for a second,

00:38:14.100 what is this

00:38:14.640 whole picture

00:38:15.240 show, now

00:38:18.540 if we zoom

00:38:19.100 out, we'll

00:38:20.740 see a couple

00:38:21.160 of things, we'll

00:38:22.280 see that the

00:38:22.740 world is on the

00:38:23.480 edge, and the

00:38:24.160 United States is

00:38:24.840 on the edge, but

00:38:25.800 we'll also see

00:38:26.620 that we are in

00:38:27.760 the best position

00:38:29.000 in the world, we

00:38:31.600 might have, you

00:38:32.620 know, we might

00:38:33.120 have our troubles

00:38:33.980 here, there

00:38:35.540 might be poor

00:38:36.220 among us, but

00:38:37.900 holy cow, be

00:38:39.000 poor here in

00:38:39.780 America, as

00:38:40.980 opposed to any

00:38:41.760 other place in

00:38:42.560 the world,

00:38:43.040 world, and

00:38:46.780 then zoom

00:38:47.240 in, and

00:38:49.880 show the

00:38:50.500 people, and

00:38:51.120 look at the

00:38:51.640 people around

00:38:52.280 you, who are

00:38:52.860 actually good

00:38:53.840 and decent

00:38:54.460 people, stop

00:38:56.800 looking at

00:38:57.220 their flaws,

00:38:58.860 stop looking at

00:38:59.680 the flaws of

00:39:00.460 absolutely

00:39:01.160 everything, and

00:39:01.780 start looking at

00:39:02.660 the things we

00:39:03.460 really are, and

00:39:07.540 if we can

00:39:07.980 remember who

00:39:08.620 we really are,

00:39:09.980 as a group,

00:39:11.280 maybe then we

00:39:12.320 can put into

00:39:12.780 perspective on

00:39:14.220 who we as

00:39:15.300 individuals are,

00:39:16.520 and then we

00:39:17.140 can do our

00:39:18.120 own part.

00:39:19.240 As Stu said,

00:39:20.360 this one guy

00:39:21.440 in Dallas

00:39:22.040 made a bigger

00:39:24.240 impact on the

00:39:25.520 things that

00:39:26.280 count than

00:39:29.300 I'll probably

00:39:29.800 make in my

00:39:30.300 whole life.

00:39:32.820 In one act

00:39:33.960 of true

00:39:36.380 bravery and

00:39:37.200 courage, notice

00:39:37.960 he said, I

00:39:38.500 wasn't going to

00:39:39.240 say this in

00:39:39.840 front of my

00:39:40.280 family.

00:39:40.640 I imagine

00:39:43.880 he thought

00:39:44.440 that there

00:39:44.740 were people

00:39:45.140 who were

00:39:45.440 like, you

00:39:45.900 cannot say

00:39:46.900 that about

00:39:47.440 her.

00:39:48.380 What do you

00:39:48.900 mean you

00:39:49.180 forgive her

00:39:49.680 and love

00:39:50.020 her?

00:39:50.460 And he

00:39:51.060 did it, and

00:39:51.660 I guarantee

00:39:52.540 you that he

00:39:53.960 went home, and

00:39:55.000 those people who

00:39:55.740 might have said

00:39:56.620 that to him

00:39:57.240 beforehand, admire

00:40:00.200 him today.

00:40:01.160 and he

00:40:04.360 changed the

00:40:05.080 hearts of

00:40:05.540 those who

00:40:06.040 would have

00:40:06.360 tried to

00:40:06.840 stop him

00:40:07.640 before he

00:40:09.040 did it.

00:40:14.160 You're

00:40:14.660 listening to

00:40:15.280 the best of

00:40:15.860 the Glenn Beck

00:40:16.400 program.

00:40:16.920 We have

00:40:28.220 a good

00:40:29.540 old friend

00:40:30.360 in the

00:40:31.160 studio with

00:40:31.780 us.

00:40:32.080 It's Jim

00:40:32.560 DeMint, who

00:40:33.440 represented

00:40:33.920 South Carolina

00:40:34.860 in the U.S.

00:40:35.540 House.

00:40:36.040 He was a

00:40:38.060 real leader

00:40:38.780 when he was

00:40:39.340 in the

00:40:40.300 House, and

00:40:41.100 a guy we

00:40:42.620 could always,

00:40:43.520 always trust.

00:40:45.020 He went to

00:40:46.160 the Heritage

00:40:46.580 Foundation, and

00:40:47.420 now he is

00:40:48.280 the chairman

00:40:48.680 of the

00:40:49.000 Conservative

00:40:49.440 Partnership

00:40:50.080 Institute, and

00:40:51.860 he has

00:40:52.800 authored a new

00:40:54.060 book, co-authored

00:40:54.760 a new book,

00:40:55.520 Conservative,

00:40:56.520 Knowing What

00:40:57.260 to Keep.

00:40:58.200 Jim, how

00:40:58.540 are you?

00:40:59.460 Glenn, I'm

00:40:59.940 great, and

00:41:00.440 it's been too

00:41:01.180 long since I've

00:41:01.860 seen you in

00:41:02.440 studio here, and

00:41:03.500 I'm really proud

00:41:04.560 of what you're

00:41:05.040 doing.

00:41:05.540 I appreciate

00:41:05.840 your voice of

00:41:06.600 reason.

00:41:08.040 And the way

00:41:08.460 you introduced

00:41:09.040 this idea about

00:41:10.040 a minute ago,

00:41:11.080 it makes me

00:41:11.780 wish I'd let

00:41:12.820 you written the

00:41:14.700 forward, along

00:41:16.460 with Jim Jordan

00:41:17.300 who wrote it.

00:41:18.520 But it's great

00:41:19.480 to be back with

00:41:20.660 you.

00:41:20.980 I would like to

00:41:21.520 introduce my

00:41:22.160 co-author and

00:41:23.100 colleague, Rachel

00:41:24.320 Bovard.

00:41:25.480 Rachel has been

00:41:26.620 a leader in the

00:41:27.880 House, in the

00:41:28.660 Senate.

00:41:29.420 She has been a

00:41:30.360 key staffer for

00:41:31.960 me in the

00:41:32.900 Senate with the

00:41:33.740 steering committee

00:41:34.420 as well as at

00:41:35.440 the Heritage

00:41:35.880 Foundation.

00:41:37.080 But there was a

00:41:37.620 group of us at

00:41:38.480 Heritage who left

00:41:40.560 to start the

00:41:41.440 Conservative

00:41:41.840 Partnership because

00:41:42.860 we realized we

00:41:43.840 elect a lot of

00:41:44.540 good people.

00:41:45.580 Most of them go

00:41:46.340 bad because we

00:41:47.560 don't take care of

00:41:48.320 them once they

00:41:48.840 get there.

00:41:49.840 And we help them

00:41:50.700 get good staff.

00:41:51.700 We've got a place

00:41:52.420 where congressmen

00:41:53.320 and senators can

00:41:54.020 get together,

00:41:54.800 develop camaraderie,

00:41:56.160 and most importantly

00:41:57.180 develop some

00:41:57.940 consensus on what

00:41:59.140 they want to do

00:41:59.780 and how they want

00:42:00.420 to do it so they

00:42:01.540 have a little more

00:42:02.140 leverage to push

00:42:03.080 things in the

00:42:03.660 right direction.

00:42:05.060 But Rachel is a

00:42:06.000 senior partner now

00:42:06.860 with the

00:42:07.140 Conservative

00:42:07.560 Partnership.

00:42:08.680 She's about

00:42:09.160 half my age and

00:42:10.400 she has been very

00:42:11.740 articulate about

00:42:12.620 conservative ideas.

00:42:13.640 She leads a lot

00:42:14.920 of the staff

00:42:15.480 training at the

00:42:16.900 Conservative Partnership

00:42:17.880 of Senate Procedures

00:42:19.100 and House Procedures

00:42:20.120 so she made the

00:42:21.200 book a whole lot

00:42:21.940 better.

00:42:22.800 So let's start

00:42:24.460 at the beginning

00:42:25.000 because I don't

00:42:26.180 think the

00:42:26.480 conservative movement

00:42:27.440 even knows what

00:42:28.640 it is.

00:42:30.080 Yeah, I think

00:42:30.620 that's where we're

00:42:31.280 at and why we

00:42:32.040 thought this was

00:42:32.560 such a good

00:42:32.940 opportunity to

00:42:33.660 sort of step

00:42:34.220 into this space

00:42:34.900 because everybody's

00:42:36.020 trying to define

00:42:36.660 conservatism.

00:42:37.620 You have the

00:42:37.960 left trying to

00:42:38.660 say we're a bunch

00:42:39.300 of racists and

00:42:40.520 bigots and anti-change

00:42:42.040 people, you have

00:42:43.000 folks on the

00:42:43.420 right who aren't

00:42:44.020 really sure what

00:42:44.640 it is that we

00:42:45.160 want to stand

00:42:45.580 for.

00:42:46.300 But conservatism

00:42:47.340 generally speaking,

00:42:48.780 you know, you

00:42:49.480 kind of touched

00:42:49.960 on it, it's not a

00:42:50.880 bunch of reflexive

00:42:52.040 policy positions.

00:42:53.180 It's really a set

00:42:54.200 of principles, it's

00:42:54.980 really a philosophy

00:42:55.700 of gratefulness to

00:42:56.820 be honest, right?

00:42:57.540 It's looking back

00:42:58.460 and saying, wow,

00:42:59.800 this is a profoundly

00:43:01.040 amazing experiment and

00:43:03.580 it's working and

00:43:04.340 why?

00:43:05.080 And what is it about

00:43:05.840 that experiment that

00:43:06.480 we want to keep?

00:43:07.460 What has been tried

00:43:08.100 and failed?

00:43:08.820 What is it that we

00:43:09.420 want to keep and how

00:43:10.220 do we move forward

00:43:11.340 with prudence?

00:43:12.940 And it's really a

00:43:13.940 an important balance

00:43:15.440 because if you're if

00:43:16.780 you are just

00:43:17.620 conservatives and you

00:43:18.680 say, no, leave

00:43:19.420 everything alone,

00:43:20.380 that's not enough.

00:43:21.680 Right.

00:43:21.960 You have to have the

00:43:23.000 people who are saying,

00:43:23.800 OK, it is working,

00:43:25.320 but it's this

00:43:26.980 particular piece

00:43:28.560 doesn't seem to fit.

00:43:30.460 Yeah.

00:43:30.640 And so conservatives

00:43:32.260 can't just be

00:43:35.400 knee-jerk, I want to

00:43:37.500 save the country.

00:43:38.840 What does that even

00:43:39.540 mean?

00:43:40.220 Well, this is a key

00:43:40.900 distinction, I think,

00:43:41.680 too, between the left

00:43:43.100 and the right,

00:43:43.840 particularly when it

00:43:44.360 comes to liberals

00:43:44.860 and conservatives.

00:43:45.900 Liberals approach what

00:43:46.640 you're saying is, OK,

00:43:47.420 well, none of this is

00:43:48.160 working, so burn it

00:43:48.920 down.

00:43:49.300 Yes.

00:43:49.580 Destroy it.

00:43:50.220 Right.

00:43:50.540 Start over.

00:43:51.140 Conservatives say, OK,

00:43:52.580 we counsel prudence.

00:43:54.000 There's obviously something

00:43:55.000 going wrong here.

00:43:55.760 Let's figure out what it

00:43:56.640 is.

00:43:57.220 But we have, you know,

00:43:58.100 hundreds of years of

00:43:58.800 history behind us.

00:43:59.580 We never reinvent the

00:44:00.960 wheel, really.

00:44:01.620 So what has worked in

00:44:02.520 the past?

00:44:02.920 What can we keep?

00:44:03.860 And what do we change

00:44:04.900 going forward in a

00:44:05.740 reasonable, prudent

00:44:06.460 manner?

00:44:06.740 So how are you going

00:44:09.400 to get there?

00:44:09.860 What are the things that

00:44:11.240 we're supposed to

00:44:12.140 conserve?

00:44:13.360 Well, Glenn, I'll just

00:44:14.400 reflect on what you just

00:44:15.680 asked for a second before

00:44:16.760 I get to that part.

00:44:17.840 But I was in business for

00:44:18.940 25 years, and a lot of it

00:44:20.660 I worked with companies on

00:44:22.900 continuous quality

00:44:23.760 improvement.

00:44:24.740 The point there was to

00:44:26.060 understand best practices

00:44:27.600 and understand root causes

00:44:29.400 of problems.

00:44:30.120 But businesses look at

00:44:32.020 each other to find best

00:44:33.560 practices to build on.

00:44:34.980 It's the way conservatism

00:44:36.100 works.

00:44:36.740 Like you said, it's not

00:44:37.880 that we're against change,

00:44:39.240 but just everything we

00:44:41.080 have, if you take your

00:44:42.340 iPhone out of your pocket,

00:44:44.080 is a result of years of

00:44:45.720 building on little

00:44:47.180 successes, changing every

00:44:49.480 year.

00:44:50.200 But you don't throw

00:44:50.980 everything out every year

00:44:52.020 and start over again.

00:44:53.360 But the essence of

00:44:54.540 conservatism, the things

00:44:55.760 we want to keep, we

00:44:56.820 brought a lot of things

00:44:57.760 forward from Russell Kirk

00:44:59.160 from his book, The

00:45:00.540 Conservative Mind.

00:45:01.920 And he's considered one

00:45:03.140 of the founders of the

00:45:05.180 conservative movement.

00:45:06.800 But ideas like keeping

00:45:08.720 our covenants, that may

00:45:10.180 sound strange to someone

00:45:11.340 in politics, but America

00:45:12.600 is a covenant nation.

00:45:13.860 We the people, I have a

00:45:15.440 covenant with you as a

00:45:16.540 fellow citizens and with

00:45:17.620 people I don't know.

00:45:19.300 That's a different

00:45:20.280 relationship than us all

00:45:21.920 living under the rule of

00:45:22.960 a government.

00:45:23.980 And we the people have

00:45:25.220 made a covenant with God

00:45:27.260 and our government.

00:45:29.160 A limited government at

00:45:30.800 the federal level.

00:45:32.140 But people today are

00:45:33.580 kind of disavowing that

00:45:34.880 covenant.

00:45:35.320 They burn the flag.

00:45:36.540 They kneel when our

00:45:38.640 anthem is being played.

00:45:39.680 It's a way of saying, I

00:45:40.980 am not in covenant with

00:45:42.700 you.

00:45:43.160 It's an important idea if

00:45:44.920 you want a diverse people

00:45:46.320 to live as one together,

00:45:48.780 you've got to believe that

00:45:50.540 you are one.

00:45:51.500 Well, you have to, and I

00:45:53.600 wrote about this about a

00:45:55.600 year ago, we've lost our

00:45:57.620 unum, e pluribus unum.

00:46:00.420 There was something, and I

00:46:02.260 think I know what it is.

00:46:03.800 There was something that

00:46:05.780 brought all these diverse

00:46:07.280 people, the most diverse

00:46:08.660 population ever in the

00:46:10.520 history, like, like not

00:46:12.040 even close to any other

00:46:14.160 place in the world and came

00:46:16.240 together.

00:46:16.700 And somehow or another, we

00:46:18.460 all got along because we

00:46:20.340 agreed on one thing.

00:46:23.460 We don't even know what

00:46:24.340 that one thing is anymore.

00:46:25.680 Yeah, and I think we try to

00:46:27.800 touch on that with the

00:46:28.620 covenant philosophy, but

00:46:29.620 also on this idea that, you

00:46:31.540 know, you can keep our

00:46:32.940 differences.

00:46:33.580 We can keep our differences

00:46:34.580 and still be a strong

00:46:35.600 country, still be a strong

00:46:36.520 America, still be strong

00:46:37.260 conservatives.

00:46:38.160 But more and more, I think,

00:46:39.480 as you see this sort of

00:46:40.200 march towards socialism, even

00:46:42.120 that is not okay anymore.

00:46:44.160 You know, it's not okay for

00:46:45.180 me to have different gifts

00:46:46.080 than Senator DeVin because I

00:46:47.420 might achieve something he

00:46:48.360 doesn't.

00:46:48.900 And, you know, the outcomes

00:46:50.160 have to be the same for

00:46:51.040 everyone or it's somehow

00:46:52.100 inherently unfair.

00:46:53.060 That is a total distortion

00:46:54.480 of everything America was

00:46:56.620 founded on.

00:46:57.180 So keeping those differences

00:46:58.620 and the ability to exercise

00:47:00.200 them is a critical

00:47:01.140 formulation.

00:47:01.540 So what do you mean by the

00:47:02.980 covenant?

00:47:03.520 What do you mean by that?

00:47:04.880 Because we are a covenant

00:47:06.400 country, but I'd like to

00:47:09.820 hear from you what that

00:47:11.460 means.

00:47:12.520 Well, we wrote a whole

00:47:13.620 chapter on it, and I hope

00:47:14.780 you'll read that, but I'll

00:47:16.060 try to summarize the idea.

00:47:18.380 It's different than a

00:47:19.480 contract.

00:47:20.100 You and I have a contract.

00:47:21.360 It's quid pro quo in a sense

00:47:23.420 that you have to do

00:47:24.120 something, I have to do

00:47:25.120 something.

00:47:25.940 A covenant is a relationship

00:47:28.280 like in marriage is a

00:47:30.040 covenant, for better or

00:47:31.580 worse.

00:47:32.120 We're together.

00:47:33.100 We support each other.

00:47:34.540 Families are, in effect, a

00:47:35.900 covenant.

00:47:36.420 And you join a church, in

00:47:38.080 effect, you become a covenant

00:47:39.780 member where you have the

00:47:42.480 best interest of others in

00:47:44.060 mind.

00:47:44.420 That's part of the covenant,

00:47:45.620 not just yourself.

00:47:46.960 You're not just an American to

00:47:48.520 see what you can get out of

00:47:49.840 things.

00:47:50.200 It really goes back to, like

00:47:51.980 President John Kennedy, who

00:47:53.400 said, you know, ask not what

00:47:54.720 your country can do for you,

00:47:56.380 ask what you can do for your

00:47:57.680 country.

00:47:58.440 So it is mutual caring about

00:48:01.020 each other.

00:48:01.720 Even though you may not know

00:48:02.900 each other, you may have

00:48:03.900 complete differences.

00:48:05.100 But the point we make in the

00:48:06.560 book, particularly the chapter

00:48:07.800 on keeping our differences, is

00:48:09.780 the way to live together in

00:48:11.580 harmony is when you have all

00:48:13.800 these differences, is respect

00:48:15.740 each other's differences and

00:48:17.040 allow people to have different

00:48:18.460 beliefs and ideas.

00:48:20.040 And frankly, we haven't lost

00:48:22.000 that as a nation.

00:48:23.000 We've lost it in politics, in

00:48:24.960 entertainment, in the media.

00:48:26.700 I travel enough to know that

00:48:28.100 Americans still love each

00:48:29.240 other.

00:48:29.660 People of all races, they get

00:48:31.200 along.

00:48:32.000 We've still got the glue, but

00:48:34.200 people at the top are trying to

00:48:35.760 destroy it.

00:48:36.440 The problem is, and this is

00:48:38.220 what our founders knew, the

00:48:40.060 federal government has become

00:48:41.500 too important.

00:48:42.620 Right.

00:48:42.720 And so politics, everything is

00:48:45.900 political now.

00:48:47.280 Absolutely everything.

00:48:48.440 You can't do a comedy show.

00:48:50.220 You can't go play a game.

00:48:51.840 You can't do anything without

00:48:54.460 it being political.

00:48:55.720 And that's the exact opposite

00:48:58.000 of what our founders wanted.

00:49:00.700 Yeah.

00:49:00.880 And conservatives, I think

00:49:01.900 that's another big difference

00:49:03.060 between us and the left.

00:49:04.020 Like, their religion is

00:49:05.020 politics.

00:49:05.580 Their entire life is

00:49:06.500 politics.

00:49:07.160 And for conservatives, politics

00:49:08.540 is actually a pretty small part of

00:49:09.840 who we are as Americans.

00:49:11.200 You know, we, our culture is

00:49:12.840 important.

00:49:13.120 Our community is important.

00:49:14.260 Our raising our children is

00:49:15.560 important.

00:49:16.340 You know, politics sets up the

00:49:18.160 structures for us to be able to

00:49:19.120 do that, but it doesn't control

00:49:20.780 every decision that we make.

00:49:22.140 All right.

00:49:22.280 More in just a second.

00:49:23.160 The name of the book is

00:49:23.860 Conservative Knowing What to

00:49:25.440 Keep.
