Summary

On the 46th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the New York City Council voted to allow abortion in the first six months of pregnancy, if a doctor determines it's necessary for the mother's health. What does that mean for the rest of us?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, welcome to the podcast. Great one today. We start with abortion. Everybody's favorite topic.
00:00:07.240 But, you know, we talk about how to be open-minded. And so we introduce hashtag mommy's choice, which you don't want to miss.
00:00:17.120 Not to mention there was a New York bookstore that closed because they were so offended by the law and what it means for people's lives.
00:00:25.720 And we actually talked to the shop owner. Yeah, he closed his doors because he said, I'm not going to pay income tax, state income tax, to a state that is doing this.
00:00:38.180 He said, I know I have to pay income tax or I'll be in prison and I'll be first in line to go to prison.
00:00:43.660 So I only closed my shop for a day to make that statement. We talked to him. Also, thank goodness Microsoft is here.
00:00:50.480 They've got a new media shield. You'll never guess who you can trust and who you can't.
00:00:57.120 Man-made climate change. Also, Andrew Heaton, Venezuela. So much to get to in today's podcast.
00:01:04.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:16.140 Patriot Mobile is a phone service that will give you all of the great coverage that you want.
00:01:30.080 They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.
00:01:39.960 Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.
00:01:45.680 But most of these sell companies, they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.
00:01:53.180 It's true. Why do that? You can go with Patriot Mobile. They were created to solve that problem.
00:01:57.360 They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.
00:02:00.280 Go to PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze. Get started today.
00:02:02.980 When you use the offer code Blaze, they're going to waive the activation fee for up to two lines.
00:02:06.960 Patriot Mobile.com slash Blaze or 1-800-A-PATRIOT is the place to go.
00:02:12.340 On Tuesday, the 46th anniversary of Roe versus Wade, New York lawmakers gave themselves a standing ovation for the overwhelming vote to allow unrestricted abortion in the first six months of pregnancy or even later in the pregnancy if a doctor determines it's necessary for the health of the mother.
00:02:36.160 Now, the health of the mother literally includes anything.
00:02:41.540 Well, no, Glenn.
00:02:42.900 It's a typical right-wing nut job.
00:02:45.880 It does not. It's first of all, it's the health of the mother.
00:02:47.760 Somebody call Microsoft Shield.
00:02:50.220 Get into that later.
00:02:51.580 But it's not at all true that it's anything.
00:02:55.080 Right.
00:02:55.460 It's just simply all factors.
00:02:59.180 All factors.
00:03:00.860 That's all.
00:03:01.600 But that's anything.
00:03:02.620 Well, physical.
00:03:03.600 Yes.
00:03:04.420 Emotional.
00:03:05.240 Emotional.
00:03:06.020 Psychological.
00:03:06.880 Psychological.
00:03:07.880 Familial.
00:03:08.700 Familial.
00:03:09.520 What is that even?
00:03:10.500 The woman's age.
00:03:12.020 All right.
00:03:13.760 Anything that's relevant to the well-being of the patient.
00:03:17.840 Anything that's relevant.
00:03:19.500 So that sounds like anything.
00:03:21.040 Well, it's anything as long as you at least say something.
00:03:25.340 I think if you went in there and said, you know what?
00:03:26.700 I have no reason for this abortion.
00:03:29.240 Technically, they could say no to you.
00:03:31.200 However, if you said you had a reason that you think would improve your well-being,
00:03:35.360 they could not reject you because, again, it's all factors relevant to the well-being of the patient.
00:03:40.500 Doctor, I'm really freaking out because of the babysitter responsibilities.
00:03:44.140 You're fine.
00:03:44.480 Abort it.
00:03:45.680 Get that thing out of there.
00:03:46.740 I'm not sure I'll know somebody who could babysit my kid in 10 years.
00:03:51.420 Don't even think about it.
00:03:52.460 Abort it.
00:03:53.100 That's kind of the New York policy right now.
00:03:54.800 Okay.
00:03:55.080 I see the difference.
00:03:56.340 I'm sorry.
00:03:56.920 But if you were to say, I actually have a wonderful babysitter and they're reasonably priced.
00:04:01.840 And I just, you know, I just, well, I was going to say, if you say you just don't want the baby,
00:04:06.840 that would be enough to get rid of the baby.
00:04:09.360 If you said, if you walked in and you said, I don't know if I want the baby or not, but please abort it.
00:04:15.980 I still think that would still qualify, but it would be questionable.
00:04:19.080 Well, but you'd have to get a doctor to do that.
00:04:20.720 And if you don't think doctors would come up with a billion reasons to justify very late-term abortions under this law,
00:04:26.460 then you're not familiar with leftist logic.
00:04:29.080 State Senator Liz Kruger.
00:04:31.800 I wonder any relation with Freddie.
00:04:35.040 A Manhattan.
00:04:36.340 A Manhattan.
00:04:36.700 I'm going to guess it was through marriage.
00:04:38.580 Yeah, I feel like it was through marriage.
00:04:40.360 Yeah, sure.
00:04:40.800 That was a choice.
00:04:41.520 Well, her mother, if it wasn't through marriage and she was related to Freddie,
00:04:45.720 her mother could have said when Liz was in the room, I've already have one demon seed son.
00:04:50.380 I can't have another child.
00:04:53.240 Anyway, luckily for her, she wasn't aborted and she sponsored the act.
00:04:58.920 And she said, quote, there is nothing radical about this bill.
00:05:02.940 The decision about whether or not to have an abortion is deeply personal,
00:05:06.640 and it should not have taken this long to get to this day.
00:05:11.180 So now here's what the law guarantees to women in New York.
00:05:14.280 You can terminate your child at any time before giving birth.
00:05:17.860 You can do so without any criminal repercussions.
00:05:21.260 According to the bill, reasons that might threaten the health of the mother include, like Stu said,
00:05:26.140 all factors relevant to the well-being of the patient, physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age.
00:05:37.200 So you got an unborn kid?
00:05:40.760 Gosh, I hope that kid doesn't find himself in the womb of a woman in New York.
00:05:46.100 You're six weeks away from making it out alive, but your mom's really not feeling up to the parental challenge right now.
00:05:54.160 It's too emotionally draining.
00:05:56.800 And the doctor agrees, yeah, but it's going to be really hard on her.
00:06:00.640 So it's best for the mom.
00:06:03.380 Again, I go to where we started.
00:06:05.320 Where is the justice in that?
00:06:09.740 Who's justice?
00:06:10.680 I want to give you another story.
00:06:19.420 The death demand is going way up.
00:06:26.560 Now, in Europe, they have, in the Netherlands, they have legalized euthanasia for a long time.
00:06:33.340 So if you want to see the future, all you have to do now is look to the Netherlands.
00:06:36.820 And you can see that euthanasia appears to become unstoppable after a few years.
00:06:45.880 Some of the stories that are now coming out are pretty shocking.
00:06:54.340 The Bible now, of course, has been sidelined.
00:06:57.500 And reason has been sidelined.
00:07:00.760 Emotional attachment to anything at the end of its life or the beginning of the life has been sidelined.
00:07:08.580 The Dutch people that are being euthanized began to rise sharply from under 2,000 in 2007 to almost 6,600 10 years later.
00:07:23.660 Now, that's the same number are estimated to have their euthanasia requests turned down as not conforming with the legal requirements.
00:07:30.780 In 2017, some 1,900 Dutch people just killed themselves, while the number of people who died under sedation, in theory, succumbing to their illness while cocooned from physical discomfort, was 32,000.
00:07:48.640 So what that means is well over 25% of all deaths in the Netherlands in 2017 was induced.
00:08:01.680 That's incredible.
00:08:03.180 Almost 30% of all deaths in the Netherlands induced.
00:08:11.300 Now, here's where it gets bad.
00:08:12.840 You have to write an advance directive that says, hey, if I get to this state, you've got to kill me.
00:08:21.920 Please kill me.
00:08:23.480 Whether or not the family disagrees or even the patient disagrees, this is kind of a problem.
00:08:34.960 Because there is a growing number of people who have put a directive together that say, if I get to this state, I want to die.
00:08:46.440 So in other words, if I get to the state where I don't recognize my family members, my wife, my life isn't worth living.
00:08:54.140 And so there's a growing number of people.
00:08:58.180 Once you put that directive in, you can't stop that directive.
00:09:01.160 There's a growing number of people.
00:09:03.780 And one of the first cases was from a woman that said, you know, if I get to this point in my pain, I'm just not going to be able to handle it.
00:09:15.680 And so I want you to kill me.
00:09:18.080 And so she wrote it down and she signed it.
00:09:20.700 Well, she got to that point in her pain.
00:09:22.500 And she said, you know, but I actually can handle it.
00:09:25.340 Life is I'm just not in the space that I was.
00:09:28.960 And this is more tolerable than I thought.
00:09:32.040 So, no.
00:09:34.820 They couldn't take no for an answer.
00:09:37.640 So they strapped her down to the bed.
00:09:41.940 And her family held her down as she was injected.
00:09:47.560 And died.
00:09:48.600 She was killed while saying, no, I've changed my mind.
00:09:57.920 That is incredible.
00:10:00.520 I mean, that is it's that that's an entire society just giving up their connection to life being important.
00:10:08.240 Right.
00:10:08.860 Yeah.
00:10:09.100 And and and deciding what life has meaning and purpose in advance.
00:10:17.680 I don't know about you, Stu, but I can't believe the change in me.
00:10:20.920 And just in 15 years, if you would have asked me 20 years ago and, you know, I probably said this to you 20 years ago.
00:10:28.280 Oh, my gosh.
00:10:30.160 I know I said it to Tanya when we got married.
00:10:32.140 No more children.
00:10:32.800 No more children.
00:10:33.340 No more children.
00:10:33.900 I don't want any more children.
00:10:35.300 OK.
00:10:36.520 My first wife, I said, no, children.
00:10:38.100 I don't want children.
00:10:38.840 We have two children.
00:10:40.240 Then I got married and I said, no, children.
00:10:42.560 And Tanya is like, well, then I'm not marrying you.
00:10:44.780 I'm like, one.
00:10:46.200 We have two.
00:10:47.920 And honest to God, I am the one begging my wife to adopt more.
00:10:54.780 We can't have any more children, but I am begging to adopt more.
00:10:58.620 And I have said, I don't know how many times in the last two years to friends and others.
00:11:03.540 Family is the only thing.
00:11:05.600 It's the only thing.
00:11:07.560 Have as many children as you possibly can.
00:11:11.040 And I don't know how I would stand it because they still drive me nuts when they're all talking.
00:11:17.480 But I love it.
00:11:21.380 It is the only thing that matters.
00:11:23.420 Well, am I bound by what I thought 20 years ago of what I wanted, of what I thought was important?
00:11:33.840 Nothing of what I thought was important even 10 years ago is the same.
00:11:38.020 I mean, that is kind of the growth process, right?
00:11:40.140 Yes.
00:11:40.540 You know, if not, you are dead.
00:11:42.540 If you're not growing, if you're not changing, you might as well be dead.
00:11:47.240 What are you doing?
00:11:47.900 You should be exploring.
00:11:50.860 You should be experiencing new things.
00:11:52.540 You should have new feelings.
00:11:53.860 You should have new understandings of things.
00:11:56.160 Yeah, you shouldn't be.
00:11:56.800 I mean, if you are arguing, please don't kill me.
00:12:00.260 There are, with the exception of, I mean, arguably the death penalty, right?
00:12:04.400 Like, what is the, if you're guilty of a capital crime, then maybe you could argue for it.
00:12:09.240 But in all those cases, you pretty much don't kill the person.
00:12:12.400 And you know, it's amazing.
00:12:13.520 And this is the government enforcing it.
00:12:15.640 This is the government enforcing it.
00:12:17.460 And why are they enforcing it?
00:12:19.060 Because you're a drain on society.
00:12:20.960 Because you're a useless eater.
00:12:22.900 That's why.
00:12:23.840 Since when do, when would somebody say, you know, I don't want to die.
00:12:30.220 I don't want to die.
00:12:31.120 I don't want this.
00:12:32.800 And the government imposes that law.
00:12:35.940 No, no, no, no, no.
00:12:37.020 There is, sorry, you signed.
00:12:39.280 In everything else, in everything else, we look the other way.
00:12:44.040 Oh, yeah.
00:12:44.780 Yeah, he was sticking classified documents that he smuggled out of the National Archives, literally in his underpants, in his socks.
00:12:53.640 Oh, well, things happen.
00:12:57.000 Here's a woman who's strapped to the bed going, no, I've changed my mind.
00:13:01.080 And sorry, the law is the law.
00:13:04.240 And we should all grow.
00:13:05.760 And I want to tell you today, I've looked at this.
00:13:09.460 I've looked at this.
00:13:10.500 And I believe I've changed, too.
00:13:13.140 And today I would like to launch a new initiative on this program.
00:13:17.720 And I've put a little something together.
00:13:19.980 Listen.
00:13:22.020 Here it is.
00:13:22.860 I.
00:13:24.240 I.
00:13:24.780 I.
00:13:25.160 I am.
00:13:26.400 I am.
00:13:27.160 I am a woman.
00:13:28.660 And I have a choice.
00:13:29.760 A choice.
00:13:30.860 A choice to work.
00:13:32.020 A choice to achieve.
00:13:34.040 A choice to succeed.
00:13:35.640 A choice to fly.
00:13:36.680 To fly.
00:13:37.500 To fly.
00:13:38.420 A choice to be anything.
00:13:39.800 A choice to be anything that I want to be.
00:13:41.780 I.
00:13:42.160 I.
00:13:42.580 I.
00:13:43.120 I am.
00:13:43.960 I.
00:13:44.460 I.
00:13:44.780 I am a woman.
00:13:46.040 And I have a choice.
00:13:47.240 I have a choice.

00:14:08.260 I definitely have a choice during the terrible twos.
00:14:12.320 I have a choice when I get sick of little league and soccer practice.
00:14:16.700 I hate soccer.

00:14:29.880 I'm a mother.
00:14:30.600 I am a mother.
00:14:31.440 I am a mother.
00:14:32.120 And every mother has a right to choose their child's expiration date.
00:14:36.880 No mother.
00:14:37.700 No mother should have to unwillingly suffer.
00:14:40.780 Suffer.
00:14:41.280 Suffer through a day where their child is alive.
00:14:44.280 Not one single day.
00:14:46.780 If I want them gone, they're gone.
00:14:49.020 They're gone.
00:14:49.900 It's all about women.

00:16:35.220 Now, the NewsGuard is something that will give you a green checkmark when you go to the website or a red shield that says, look out, this is an untrustworthy news site.
00:16:47.340 Now, they've done this anti-malware for the mind for you.
00:16:54.140 And so the green checkmarks are awarded to CNN, green checkmark, MSNBC, green checkmark, NBC News, green checkmark, Washington Post, green, Slate, green checkmark, The New Yorker, green checkmark, The Guardian, green checkmark, Huffington Post, green checkmark, Vice News, green checkmark, TMZ, green checkmark, BuzzFeed.
00:17:24.140 Freaking News, BuzzFeed News.
00:17:27.360 Are you kidding me?
00:17:29.400 BuzzFeed.
00:17:30.600 Green checkmark.
00:17:32.600 The Blaze, nah, red.
00:17:35.800 Red.
00:17:36.940 Daily Wire, red.
00:17:39.380 Red.
00:17:39.780 Drudge, red.
00:17:41.620 Wait a minute.
00:17:43.960 So I looked into it this morning on what exactly do you have to do to get the green checkmark?
00:17:50.620 And some of these I agree with Microsoft and some of them I don't when it comes to the Blaze, but I thought I'd get our managing editor on the phone now, Leon Wolf.
00:18:01.340 Hello, Leon.
00:18:01.960 How are you?
00:18:03.480 Hey, Glenn.
00:18:04.040 Good to talk to you.
00:18:04.680 Good to talk to you.
00:18:05.720 You know, we have a red shield.
00:18:07.860 I do.
00:18:08.760 I do.
00:18:09.220 You know, they contacted me about this a few months ago and asked me some questions via email, and it was obvious what was going on, even from the introductory email here.
00:18:18.860 Kind of ridiculous.
00:18:21.000 But it's a fun day to be talking about this.
00:18:24.580 Is it?
00:18:25.220 You know, just this morning, I was reading NBC News, green checkmark NBC News story.
00:18:31.140 They had this Nathan Phillips guy on, you know, from Covington, and Savannah Guthrie interviewed him, and they're writing up the interview, and they do stuff like this.
00:18:40.140 They say, Nathan Phillips says that the teens around him were chanting, build the wall.
00:18:45.800 There's no, that's it.
00:18:47.140 Like, period.
00:18:47.900 That's it.
00:18:48.500 There's no, like, and also the video shows that was absolutely not true, because we have video of the entire confrontation, and why was that happening?
00:18:57.560 They have, what Nathan Phillips says, they were blocking his access to where he wanted to go, period.
00:19:02.480 And there's no, like, in the interest of responsibility, we feel compelled to tell you that the video shows he was heading in one direction, stopped, and headed over to confront the students, even by his own admission, in other interviews that he's given.
00:19:15.220 So it's a fun day to be discussing this, for sure.
00:19:18.280 So let me just say this.
00:19:22.960 We got a green checkmark.
00:19:24.460 There are nine categories, and we got a green checkmark.
00:19:27.920 Does not repeatedly publish false content.
00:19:31.320 Oh, well, thank you for that.
00:19:33.560 But I don't know if I can give that to MSNBC.
00:19:37.680 No, no, no.
00:19:39.320 Or in this case, NBC.
00:19:41.800 In the case of Trump, CNN.
00:19:45.760 Right.
00:19:46.640 We also, Daily Beast, got a cream checkmark.
00:19:50.240 You and I know, they've published, since I've been here, probably over half a dozen stories about this company that we know to be false, because we were there.
00:19:58.280 We were there.
00:19:59.120 We were there.
00:20:00.160 And by the way, by the way, I'm wondering if the Daily Beast is writing about all of the layoffs from Condé Nast.
00:20:11.840 Let me just go through them.
00:20:13.340 Vanity Fair, I think, had some cutoffs.
00:20:17.180 BuzzFeed is cutting 15%.
00:20:19.500 Didn't we cut 10% and they said we were over?
00:20:23.820 BuzzFeed cutting 15%.
00:20:25.980 Verizon Media cutting 7%.
00:20:28.980 New layoffs at Gannett Papers.
00:20:31.120 These are all today.
00:20:32.520 I'm just wondering if the Daily Wire is declaring those institutions dead as well.
00:20:38.220 You meant the Daily Beast, not the Daily Wire.
00:20:39.540 Yeah, Daily Beast, Daily Beast.
00:20:42.540 Okay.
00:20:43.260 Another reason to give you a red shield.
00:20:44.500 You can't even get the daily things right anymore.
00:20:46.100 You're right.
00:20:46.620 You're right.
00:20:47.500 Okay, so the first one does not repeatedly publish false content.
00:20:50.820 Thank you for that, Microsoft.
00:20:52.420 Gathers and presents information responsibly.
00:20:54.920 We get a green checkmark.
00:20:57.320 We get a red checkmark or a shield because we don't regularly correct or clarify errors.
00:21:04.860 And this is just absolutely false.
00:21:08.680 And look, we're human beings just like anybody else.
00:21:11.960 And sometimes we make mistakes.
00:21:13.660 But I think that we go above and beyond any media source that I'm aware of in terms of transparency with which we correct errors.
00:21:20.680 And I'll tell you, just in the interest of being fair and forthcoming, we got burned like a lot of people did a couple weeks ago with that statement that supposedly was made by The Rock.
00:21:29.940 I don't know if you remember this whole incident where Dwayne The Rock Johnson allegedly said all these things about snowflakes and so on and so forth.
00:21:36.240 We had no way of knowing that it was fake.
00:21:38.100 It was reported everywhere.
00:21:40.300 So we kind of reported and summarized his comments.
00:21:43.600 You know, he came out later that afternoon and said, it's not true.
00:21:46.000 I never said this.
00:21:46.700 That interview was fake.
00:21:47.920 We went, pulled down the entire story and put in its place.
00:21:53.340 You know, we apologize.
00:21:54.880 We had reason to believe that he said this.
00:21:57.680 But, you know, he's come out and said that it wasn't true.
00:22:00.260 And we regret having published this and are sorry to our audience.
00:22:03.220 We even changed the headline so that if people clicked on it, they wouldn't see, you know, because people do on the Internet.
00:22:08.900 They just read the headline and that's it.
00:22:10.220 We changed the entire headline to just say, Rock says he never made those comments.
00:22:15.180 Totally fake.
00:22:15.880 I never met it.
00:22:16.860 We pulled it down off all our social pages.
00:22:19.320 We went above and beyond.
00:22:20.920 Well, by contrast, the Washington Post corrected what?
00:22:25.240 Yesterday that Nathan Phillips was not a Vietnam veteran, even though that information came out after like 30 minutes of people looking around on the Internet.
00:22:32.060 So, I don't know.
00:22:33.920 I will say that what got them, what they said when they initially contacted me was they brought up a couple of old stories about which there was controversy.
00:22:43.660 And they said, look, PolitiFact says that this is not true.
00:22:47.940 Well, PolitiFact is a left-leaning organization.
00:22:50.360 And the stories in question were stories about which there was kind of a factual dispute.
00:22:54.480 You know, the left and the right were looking at it different ways.
00:22:57.000 Look, we don't recognize the authority of PolitiFact to say what's true or not true.
00:23:00.860 I mean, that's part of our job is news.
00:23:03.160 So, that's where we are in that.
00:23:05.240 So, the next one is handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly.
00:23:10.360 Right.
00:23:10.840 So, their complaint about this, if you go to our site, you have, you know, clips of, like you, from your show.
00:23:18.860 Today there will be two or three clips that will have a video and then we'll have a little text write-up.
00:23:23.540 And it'll say, you know, today on Glenn's program he talked about this.
00:23:26.480 And a lot of that is your opinion.
00:23:28.280 And they say, well, why isn't this stuff more clearly labeled opinion commentary?
00:23:32.840 Or, you know, why doesn't it have a huge thing this is just opinion up there?
00:23:35.640 Well, do they have that for Rachel Maddow?
00:23:37.740 Does NBC have that for Rachel Maddow?
00:23:40.080 Yeah.
00:23:40.280 If you go to MSNBC right now and look at, click on Rachel Maddow in the top right-hand corner and click on her links,
00:23:45.880 there's nothing on there that says this is Rachel's opinion.
00:23:48.420 Or on the right for Fox News, it's the same thing.
00:23:51.040 You click on the Hannity clips.
00:23:52.300 There's not a big thing that says opinion or commentary or anything like that.
00:23:55.800 So it is a double standard, I think, in that case.
00:23:58.320 Avoids deceptive headlines.
00:24:00.200 I think they kind of have a point on this, but they have a point on this with everybody.
00:24:04.000 Everybody should get an X on this.
00:24:06.880 Well, I think that we try to be as fair as absolutely possible with our headlines.
00:24:12.400 I mean, we really do.
00:24:13.320 Yeah, and we go through cycles.
00:24:14.660 There are times when, you know, I'll read something, come on, and we change it.
00:24:20.140 So we have gone through cycles.
00:24:21.640 We're better some days than we are on other days.
00:24:24.800 Right.
00:24:25.240 That's absolutely – I think that that's fair.
00:24:27.240 But I think that, you know, definitely as far as, you know, it comes through us, you know, we try to be fair.
00:24:32.940 And there are some times, you know, just by the nature of the staff and we are,
00:24:37.440 we don't always have time to look at every single headline before it goes on the site.
00:24:41.180 But, you know, we talk about those things with our writers and try to say, look, even if the story is accurate,
00:24:45.700 we want the headline to be fair, not just accurate, but fair to everybody involved as well.
00:24:49.540 We don't want to, you know, drag people through the mud needlessly, you know,
00:24:54.820 and especially if we're not 100% sure and certain of our facts, even if they're people who are, you know, our political enemies.
00:25:00.280 So that's something I think that we do try to do.
00:25:02.200 The website discloses ownership and financing.
00:25:05.100 I mean, up until just a couple of weeks ago, everybody knew who that was.
00:25:11.680 I mean, it was in every single article written about the blaze.
00:25:15.360 Yeah, I don't, I don't, I really just don't even understand that.
00:25:20.360 Clearly labels advertising.
00:25:22.300 Anytime there's an advertising on our site that is not just a box ad, which are clear, it'll say sponsored content.
00:25:30.680 It says that right up at the top.
00:25:32.140 And I've been very clear.
00:25:33.320 Do not let people click on stuff that doesn't say sponsored content.
00:25:37.380 I don't want to trick people into ads.
00:25:40.300 I completely agree.
00:25:41.640 And that's, I know, all I know is that that's been the case since I've been here as well.
00:25:46.540 You know, that's something I've been adamant about as well.
00:25:48.880 And a lot of, you know, sites do this where they present, you know, text, you know, stories that like, you know,
00:25:54.300 they kind of look like stories, but, you know, we, you and I have both been insistent with everybody on the ad sales team or whatever.
00:26:01.860 They're going to say, this is a sponsored link.
00:26:04.380 This is, you know, sponsored by such and such and such and such.
00:26:06.960 And I believe that we've been completely above board with that.
00:26:09.620 I'm not aware of a single instance where that.
00:26:11.440 No, there am I.
00:26:12.640 Reveal who's in charge, including any possible conflicts of interest.
00:26:16.040 And that one ties into this.
00:26:17.960 Site provides the name of content creators along with either contact or contact or biographical information.
00:26:25.740 Leon, we go further than anyone else.
00:26:30.040 Do we not?
00:26:30.920 Yeah.
00:26:31.700 Yeah.
00:26:32.000 If you go, if you go and you click now, I mean, I just did this with a story that was at the top by our writer, Aaron Cole.
00:26:38.560 And you click and it has a little bio.
00:26:39.980 You know, Aaron went to such and such school and worked, you know, for, you know, it has his little, you know, picture.
00:26:45.320 I don't think that anymore, you know, we did just do a redesign of the site about a month ago.
00:26:49.620 I don't think the feature that you used to be able to just click there and send them an email.
00:26:53.420 I believe that that's broken.
00:26:54.660 I just discovered that today.
00:26:55.800 But until a month ago, you were able to send and click an email or whatever, however you wanted to contact our reporters, you could certainly do that.
00:27:02.760 We even go to the goal of the story.
00:27:06.440 I mean, at least up until a month ago, we were doing goal of the story.
00:27:09.600 I even wanted to have, you know, their standing.
00:27:13.760 Are they, you know, are they libertarian?
00:27:16.480 Are they conservative?
00:27:17.600 Are they liberal?
00:27:18.440 I mean, we've gone more than anyone else on this.
00:27:21.020 This just goes to show you that the shield, and this is the first one, they're all going to do this.
00:27:27.240 If they find no problem with BuzzFeed and CNN and MSNBC, and they say that Rachel Maddow, well, they separate news from opinion, but they do it exactly the way we do.
00:27:40.860 There is no use to this shield.
00:27:43.220 But I warn you, it's another attack on the right voices in America.
00:27:50.400 Anybody who disagrees with the big conglomerates and the big old-line media and those in Silicon Valley, you're going to be in trouble.
00:28:02.180 And it's why we're building the blaze.
00:28:04.100 We all have to stick together.
00:28:06.360 We have to hang together, or we will surely hang separately.
00:28:11.140 Leon, thank you so much.
00:28:12.160 By the way, you can contact him at Leon Wolf at The Blaze or follow him on Twitter at Leon H. Wolf.
00:28:22.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:28:28.400 Like listening to this podcast?
00:28:39.780 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:28:43.000 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:28:45.920 The Glenn Beck Action News team in action this morning.
00:28:49.800 We have some...
00:28:51.800 We have...
00:28:54.200 I don't think that's a teletype, but...
00:28:56.780 Sounds just like an electric type, but I'll take it.
00:28:59.360 The Action News team has some grave news to report this morning.
00:29:03.420 News that affects every man, woman, and child on this planet.
00:29:08.060 You probably aren't aware of this, but according to forecasts by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
00:29:14.620 we are all now dead.
00:29:16.720 We just don't know it yet.
00:29:19.640 An update at 11.
00:29:21.400 The people you see walking down the street, your co-workers, the driver in the car next to you right now,
00:29:26.280 even Stu across the table who has sports for you in a few minutes,
00:29:30.080 and the rest of the staff here in the Action News news newsroom.
00:29:34.940 All of us dead.
00:29:37.000 And it is our fault.
00:29:38.860 You see, in 2017, it marked a watershed year for those who believe in anthropogen...
00:29:45.300 Anthropogen...
00:29:46.500 Anthro...
00:29:47.660 Man-made climate change.
00:29:49.920 Last year was a great tipping point where our actions,
00:29:53.720 America's greed,
00:29:55.380 were the consequences of our modern society,
00:29:57.920 our technology-centric lives that require energy and industrial production.
00:30:03.600 Last year, we reached the point of no return.
00:30:06.920 Our own need to own a car,
00:30:11.240 to have electricity in our homes,
00:30:13.760 a 65-inch 4K TV,
00:30:16.880 oh, those are sweet,
00:30:18.480 and to provide just a better living for our children,
00:30:21.980 killed us in the end.
00:30:24.020 Capitalism killed us and destroyed most of the animal life on the planet as well.
00:30:28.940 According to many climate alarmists,
00:30:31.880 a.k.a. scientists,
00:30:33.360 citing studies produced or published by the IPCC,
00:30:37.540 it's already too late.
00:30:40.340 From this year forward,
00:30:41.600 the damage we have already done
00:30:43.460 is so great,
00:30:44.880 according to the United Nations,
00:30:46.160 that it is irreversible.
00:30:48.540 We didn't heed the warnings from Al Gore,
00:30:51.280 and that really cute guy from Titanic.
00:30:54.200 We didn't heed the warnings of Matt Damon,
00:30:57.580 Oprah Winfrey,
00:30:58.560 and yes, even Bill Nye,
00:31:00.880 the science guy.
00:31:02.860 We didn't listen,
00:31:04.660 and now,
00:31:05.580 we're all dead.
00:31:07.920 Except,
00:31:09.300 maybe not.
00:31:11.360 There is some good news.
00:31:12.540 It turns out we may have some time left.
00:31:16.820 Miraculously,
00:31:17.960 out of the Twittersphere
00:31:19.180 comes our salvation.
00:31:21.380 The governor of Washington,
00:31:23.160 the state,
00:31:24.080 has granted us a temporary stay of execution.
00:31:28.140 Governor Jay Inslee
00:31:29.560 has indicated just this morning
00:31:32.000 that it is definitely not too late.
00:31:35.680 Not siding with the IPCC
00:31:37.680 or the consensus of all of the scientists,
00:31:41.100 except for the really bad ones
00:31:42.560 that should be in jail
00:31:43.740 or killed.
00:31:45.560 Apparently,
00:31:46.280 we have 59 days left
00:31:48.700 to do something.
00:31:50.560 Inslee tweeted earlier this week,
00:31:52.740 we have just 59 days
00:31:54.500 to do our part
00:31:55.320 to save children
00:31:56.320 from an endless cycle
00:31:57.900 of crop-killing droughts
00:31:59.360 one year
00:32:00.120 and rivers spilling their banks the next.
00:32:03.360 To save the salmon
00:32:04.540 from dying.
00:32:06.340 Sorry,
00:32:07.180 I was just thinking of my kids,
00:32:08.600 and they said something funny
00:32:09.700 the other day.
00:32:10.340 To save...
00:32:11.800 To save the salmon
00:32:13.140 from dying
00:32:14.060 in ever-warming rivers
00:32:15.280 and our forest
00:32:16.680 from being reduced
00:32:18.200 to plumes of ash.
00:32:19.740 That all sounds pretty dire,
00:32:21.900 but still better than us dead
00:32:24.340 as we were
00:32:25.520 just a few minutes ago.
00:32:27.860 But,
00:32:28.420 we all have
00:32:29.660 only 59 days
00:32:31.480 to buy a Prius
00:32:32.980 and start composting.
00:32:35.740 Perhaps even better news
00:32:37.200 just handed to me.
00:32:38.380 We also have received
00:32:39.980 a royal pardon
00:32:41.120 out of the halls
00:32:42.480 of Buckingham Palace.
00:32:44.020 We learned today
00:32:44.760 that Prince Charles
00:32:46.020 has declared
00:32:46.760 that Jay Inslee
00:32:48.000 is wrong.
00:32:49.340 We now
00:32:50.060 actually have
00:32:50.920 35 years
00:32:52.340 to tackle climate change.
00:32:54.800 The price of capitalism
00:32:55.840 and consumerism
00:32:56.920 is just too high,
00:32:58.860 the Prince told
00:32:59.620 a group of industrialists.
00:33:01.780 This,
00:33:02.480 indeed,
00:33:02.780 gang,
00:33:03.680 is exciting news.
00:33:05.040 I wasn't even going
00:33:06.040 to go throw it
00:33:06.760 to the buxom weather babe
00:33:08.500 because I thought
00:33:09.700 what's the point
00:33:10.320 in weather
00:33:10.740 if we're all dead
00:33:11.800 and who really cares
00:33:13.280 about sports
00:33:14.080 if we're going
00:33:14.640 to be dead
00:33:15.220 in 53 days.
00:33:17.420 The main reason
00:33:17.860 I do care about sports,
00:33:18.960 Glenn.
00:33:19.320 But now that we have
00:33:21.120 35 years,
00:33:23.140 what's interesting
00:33:23.800 about Prince Charles'
00:33:24.900 proclamation
00:33:25.380 about the climate
00:33:26.160 tipping point
00:33:26.920 is that it isn't
00:33:28.380 his first.
00:33:29.540 In July of 2009,
00:33:31.360 after meeting
00:33:32.040 with scientists
00:33:32.580 from the European Union
00:33:33.780 who provided studies
00:33:35.000 to the IPCC,
00:33:36.800 Charles declared
00:33:37.560 that we had
00:33:38.280 a mere 96 months
00:33:40.640 to implement changes
00:33:42.180 and curb our behavior
00:33:43.500 and populations
00:33:45.160 to save the world.
00:33:47.120 He stood firmly
00:33:47.960 by that forecast
00:33:49.000 until the 96 months
00:33:51.000 passed
00:33:51.600 when he indicated
00:33:52.820 we probably have
00:33:54.320 a little more time.
00:33:56.260 Of course,
00:33:56.760 if the original
00:33:57.220 tipping point
00:33:57.820 were a mere
00:33:58.680 eight years in 2009,
00:34:00.380 the new tipping point
00:34:01.800 is 35 more years
00:34:03.900 from now
00:34:04.540 than his original forecast
00:34:06.420 which should have been
00:34:07.720 44 years
00:34:09.320 which is off
00:34:10.640 by just a hair.
00:34:13.680 Maybe we should
00:34:14.320 forgive the prince.
00:34:15.400 After all,
00:34:16.020 he's just a prince
00:34:17.460 and he's relying
00:34:18.560 on the opinions
00:34:19.280 of top UN scientists.
00:34:21.560 I mean,
00:34:21.880 after all,
00:34:23.100 he had two choices
00:34:24.100 in women.
00:34:25.080 He killed
00:34:25.640 the pretty woman.
00:34:27.140 Now,
00:34:27.600 all we have to do
00:34:28.440 is...
00:34:28.980 This is a news broadcast?
00:34:30.360 Sorry,
00:34:30.720 that was opinion
00:34:31.440 by this journalist.
00:34:32.720 That's why you get
00:34:33.260 a red shield.
00:34:33.980 That's why it happens.
00:34:35.040 This is the action news team.
00:34:36.620 Don't you hear
00:34:37.060 the credibility
00:34:37.560 of the...
00:34:39.480 Somewhat.
00:34:40.280 Somewhat kind of like
00:34:41.280 teletype thing
00:34:42.080 in the back?
00:34:42.580 Mm-hmm.
00:34:43.080 Mm-hmm.
00:34:44.060 Nobody even knows
00:34:45.080 what a teletype is
00:34:46.100 these days,
00:34:46.880 but we still
00:34:48.100 rip and read.
00:34:49.880 So now we have
00:34:50.940 until 2052
00:34:52.160 before capitalism
00:34:53.320 destroys us.
00:34:55.040 Then again,
00:34:56.240 maybe not.
00:34:57.200 If we examine
00:34:58.560 their track record,
00:34:59.420 it is clear
00:34:59.980 that UN scientists
00:35:00.900 may be using
00:35:01.660 nothing more
00:35:02.260 than a crystal ball
00:35:03.280 and horoscope section
00:35:04.440 of the National Enquirer,
00:35:06.420 which has been discredited
00:35:08.000 ever since it got
00:35:08.880 into bed
00:35:10.220 with Donald Trump.
00:35:11.680 Before then,
00:35:12.960 it was impeccable.
00:35:15.540 In 1982,
00:35:16.560 the then
00:35:17.580 UN environmental program
00:35:18.960 issued a stark warning
00:35:20.060 that industrialized countries
00:35:21.500 only had 10 years
00:35:23.200 to curb smog
00:35:24.360 and ozone-depleting chemicals
00:35:26.140 before the world
00:35:27.360 would reach
00:35:27.900 a climate tipping point
00:35:29.120 where the sun
00:35:30.140 would cook the planet,
00:35:31.660 causing the death
00:35:32.640 of all life.
00:35:34.460 That would have been
00:35:35.420 in 1982.
00:35:37.700 They re-upped the ante
00:35:38.760 with another report
00:35:40.100 in 1989,
00:35:41.920 just in time,
00:35:42.980 to tell us
00:35:43.520 we're safe
00:35:44.560 for a few more years.
00:35:46.220 They issued
00:35:46.800 the same timeline
00:35:47.940 in 1989,
00:35:49.320 saying now
00:35:50.800 we would all be dead
00:35:51.920 by 1999.
00:35:55.460 But this time,
00:35:56.920 they turned their attention
00:35:58.020 for the first time
00:35:59.180 to carbon dioxide
00:36:00.380 and other chemicals
00:36:01.620 they identified
00:36:02.660 as pollutants
00:36:03.820 caused by the burning
00:36:05.160 of fossil fuel.
00:36:06.960 In 1996,
00:36:08.080 then 2002,
00:36:09.140 then 2007,
00:36:10.460 the UN revised
00:36:11.960 its doomsday clock
00:36:13.140 over and over
00:36:13.860 each time,
00:36:14.600 extending the estimate
00:36:15.800 of the climate
00:36:16.700 tipping point
00:36:17.640 by seven years
00:36:19.100 then 12 years
00:36:20.600 then 10 years.
00:36:22.700 Other environmental
00:36:23.400 groups and activists
00:36:24.240 have also gotten
00:36:24.880 into the action.
00:36:25.560 In 2009,
00:36:26.440 James Hansen
00:36:27.140 of NASA
00:36:27.920 declared before Congress
00:36:29.640 that we only had
00:36:30.440 the length
00:36:30.820 of Obama's first term
00:36:32.440 through 2012
00:36:34.020 to prevent
00:36:34.960 man-made climate catastrophe.
00:36:37.360 If only those
00:36:37.780 2012 predictions
00:36:38.880 were true,
00:36:39.700 think of how much
00:36:40.260 we would have skipped.
00:36:41.680 That's it.
00:36:43.080 I mean,
00:36:43.740 don't make this
00:36:44.340 journalist think
00:36:45.300 that way, please.
00:36:47.000 I mean,
00:36:47.200 we even got a movie
00:36:48.760 out of it.
00:36:49.200 I'm serious.
00:36:49.860 I've got a rolling stool
00:36:50.920 and a rope
00:36:51.480 in the other room.
00:36:52.380 I can...
00:36:53.660 This sentiment
00:36:54.300 was echoing
00:36:56.520 a fundraising newsletter
00:36:57.760 put out by the
00:36:58.440 World Wildlife Federation,
00:37:00.200 which stated earlier
00:37:01.400 in 2009
00:37:02.380 that humankind
00:37:03.340 only had another
00:37:04.620 five years
00:37:05.920 to avert disaster.
00:37:07.280 In a recent article
00:37:09.060 by Climate Depot,
00:37:11.240 they point out
00:37:12.180 that a review
00:37:12.940 of press articles
00:37:14.000 and media coverage
00:37:14.840 going back to 1980
00:37:16.060 finds no fewer
00:37:17.740 than 1,250 articles
00:37:20.460 quoting scientists,
00:37:22.020 politicians,
00:37:22.760 celebrities,
00:37:23.240 and pundits
00:37:23.780 all giving us
00:37:24.580 various climate
00:37:25.400 tipping points,
00:37:26.660 predictions of some
00:37:27.880 date in the future
00:37:29.020 that will represent
00:37:30.280 a Rubicon
00:37:31.000 that if we cross
00:37:32.240 without dramatically
00:37:33.120 shifting our capitalist
00:37:34.400 behavior,
00:37:35.000 it will spell
00:37:36.400 our inescapable
00:37:37.660 demise.
00:37:39.000 According to
00:37:39.540 climate alarmists,
00:37:40.940 we seem to be
00:37:41.940 serially doomed.
00:37:43.740 But given the track
00:37:44.500 record of hundreds
00:37:45.460 upon hundreds
00:37:46.120 of different such
00:37:46.980 predictions,
00:37:47.680 all proven to be
00:37:48.760 utter nonsense,
00:37:50.240 a reasonable person
00:37:51.420 is forced to ask,
00:37:53.260 why should we listen
00:37:54.300 to anything
00:37:55.040 these people have
00:37:55.940 to say,
00:37:56.820 especially if we
00:37:58.520 only have
00:37:59.680 12 years left?
00:38:01.980 now on to sports.
00:38:08.500 Oh,
00:38:09.040 does it,
00:38:10.000 does nobody
00:38:10.320 have a memory?
00:38:11.320 Does nobody
00:38:11.780 have a memory?
00:38:12.760 At some point
00:38:13.740 when you get
00:38:14.580 the wrong prediction
00:38:15.200 over and over
00:38:15.740 and over and over
00:38:16.220 again,
00:38:16.400 you're supposed
00:38:16.780 to adjust,
00:38:17.880 maybe change
00:38:18.480 the person
00:38:18.800 you're listening
00:38:19.220 to,
00:38:19.540 maybe get less
00:38:20.200 dire,
00:38:20.660 maybe get less
00:38:21.320 certain,
00:38:22.340 and yet they get
00:38:23.020 more and more
00:38:23.440 certain.
00:38:23.680 This is the best
00:38:29.000 of the Glenn Beck
00:38:29.540 program,
00:38:30.080 and don't forget,
00:38:31.100 rate us on iTunes.
00:38:35.200 All right,
00:38:36.160 we have Andrew
00:38:38.540 Heaton joining us,
00:38:39.740 and I wanted to
00:38:41.740 bring Andrew in
00:38:43.160 because we have
00:38:45.200 a tremendous
00:38:45.760 opportunity as a
00:38:48.440 nation next week
00:38:50.080 to forever rid
00:38:51.760 ourselves of the
00:38:52.940 State of the Union.
00:38:53.680 Which I think
00:38:54.660 would be great.
00:38:55.800 Yeah,
00:38:56.000 because you're
00:38:56.500 not a royalist.
00:38:57.720 You're an actual
00:38:58.700 constitutional Republican.
00:39:00.520 Yes,
00:39:00.880 and here's the idea.
00:39:02.240 This is supposed
00:39:02.900 to be a letter
00:39:03.440 from time to time
00:39:05.340 from the president.
00:39:06.940 That's what it says.
00:39:07.700 The president shall
00:39:08.880 from time to time
00:39:10.840 give a State of the Union
00:39:12.480 to the Congress,
00:39:13.320 and it was always
00:39:14.040 a letter until radio
00:39:15.620 and television showed up.
00:39:16.880 That also implies
00:39:17.960 that the founders
00:39:19.000 of the country
00:39:19.640 were like,
00:39:20.060 you know what?
00:39:20.800 The president's probably
00:39:21.760 going to be so removed
00:39:22.660 from this whole process
00:39:23.600 we need to have
00:39:24.260 a constitutional provision
00:39:25.400 that requires him
00:39:26.260 to occasionally brief us
00:39:27.260 on what he's up to.
00:39:28.120 Right.
00:39:28.340 Because he's just
00:39:29.620 out fishing.
00:39:30.400 Right.
00:39:31.660 Exactly right.
00:39:32.480 Once every couple
00:39:33.120 of years,
00:39:33.460 come in,
00:39:33.800 let us know
00:39:34.120 what you've been
00:39:34.460 working on.
00:39:34.960 I think this country
00:39:36.040 would be a lot better
00:39:37.060 is if Donald Trump
00:39:39.760 would give the State of the Union
00:39:42.460 address next week
00:39:44.980 either in line
00:39:47.360 at a McDonald's
00:39:48.380 or just hanging up
00:39:50.740 the phone
00:39:51.320 from ordering a pizza.
00:39:53.460 And so,
00:39:53.800 look,
00:39:53.940 I've got to get this,
00:39:55.300 but I'm really close
00:39:56.440 to the pizza parlor.
00:39:57.320 It'll be here any minute,
00:39:58.340 so let me just tell you,
00:39:59.300 once the doorbell goes off,
00:40:00.520 I'm gone.
00:40:01.240 That would be great
00:40:02.140 if he did it
00:40:02.720 during a phone call
00:40:04.940 to order a pizza.
00:40:06.140 So he's like,
00:40:07.200 my fellow Americans,
00:40:08.120 the State of the Union,
00:40:09.600 yeah,
00:40:09.860 medium,
00:40:10.380 is strong.
00:40:11.580 And you guys want pepperoni?
00:40:14.120 I want pepperoni.
00:40:14.620 I'm going to get pepperoni.
00:40:15.380 I'm going to get sausage stew.
00:40:16.500 And the border,
00:40:17.260 like,
00:40:17.400 I would be fantastic.
00:40:18.080 I would love that.
00:40:18.780 I hope he live tweets
00:40:19.760 the whole thing
00:40:20.260 from Burger King.
00:40:20.980 That is my goal.
00:40:21.520 I think he is,
00:40:22.740 I think he's actually,
00:40:23.880 he said yesterday
00:40:25.060 he's going to do it
00:40:26.280 later once the government
00:40:28.300 opens up.
00:40:29.040 This is a big moment.
00:40:29.920 He likes his big moments,
00:40:30.940 right?
00:40:31.100 It's a big TV moment.
00:40:32.260 We are talking about Trump.
00:40:33.260 He does like attention.
00:40:34.300 I don't,
00:40:34.860 I don't see,
00:40:35.840 I would like,
00:40:36.700 if,
00:40:37.040 if Trump tweets out,
00:40:38.600 hey,
00:40:39.000 we're not an imperial power,
00:40:40.600 I'm just going to send out
00:40:41.840 a PDF of the State of the Union address.
00:40:43.840 Everybody stay home
00:40:44.520 and read your Kindle.
00:40:45.600 I would be like,
00:40:46.140 oh,
00:40:46.300 he's been captured.
00:40:47.220 This is,
00:40:47.880 this is,
00:40:48.660 this is like the pod people
00:40:50.000 have taken over him.
00:40:50.780 Deep state.
00:40:51.740 He's audio and ematronic.
00:40:54.320 So I've heard
00:40:55.420 some people are speculating
00:40:56.560 that he would go down
00:40:57.280 to the border.
00:40:58.640 Yeah.
00:40:59.560 And let me tell you something.
00:41:00.800 Remember when we went
00:41:01.720 down to the border and,
00:41:02.800 I didn't go,
00:41:03.260 but yes,
00:41:03.640 I do remember when you went.
00:41:04.500 That's right.
00:41:04.660 It was too dangerous for you.
00:41:07.000 Went down to the border,
00:41:08.200 did it at night.
00:41:09.420 We were there during the day
00:41:10.720 and night
00:41:11.420 and we went in
00:41:13.440 and we,
00:41:14.580 you could watch people
00:41:15.580 coming over the border
00:41:16.360 at night.
00:41:16.740 It's amazing.
00:41:17.380 and no one came over this bridge.
00:41:20.800 Now we were under the bridge
00:41:21.980 and the bridge goes over
00:41:22.960 the river
00:41:24.540 and there's,
00:41:26.480 there's really nothing
00:41:27.560 but kind of like woods area
00:41:29.540 down underneath this bridge.
00:41:31.400 And at one point,
00:41:32.480 I'm down in the woods
00:41:33.920 with the border agents
00:41:34.980 and people are running everywhere.
00:41:36.940 And I said,
00:41:38.360 how come nobody
00:41:39.100 just comes over the bridge?
00:41:41.080 And he said,
00:41:41.920 it's actually because
00:41:42.880 of the drug lords.
00:41:44.340 He said,
00:41:44.960 the drug lords tell everybody,
00:41:46.440 now this is under Obama,
00:41:47.440 when all you had to do
00:41:48.880 was say to a border agent,
00:41:51.200 I need,
00:41:52.220 I'm a refugee,
00:41:53.260 I need,
00:41:54.000 uh,
00:41:54.720 asylum.
00:41:55.860 Okay.
00:41:56.340 You were in,
00:41:57.400 no matter what was going on,
00:41:59.020 if you said those words,
00:42:00.540 you were in.
00:42:01.260 And it was very clear
00:42:02.600 to everybody.
00:42:04.360 But all these people
00:42:05.240 were coming in
00:42:05.780 on the cover of darkness
00:42:06.720 and paying these smugglers
00:42:08.600 and risking their life
00:42:10.720 coming across the river,
00:42:12.280 et cetera,
00:42:12.600 et cetera.
00:42:12.940 And I said,
00:42:13.820 bridge,
00:42:14.660 because that's all
00:42:15.140 they have to say.
00:42:15.720 And he said,
00:42:16.080 yes,
00:42:16.300 the drug lords tell them
00:42:17.600 that's a lie.
00:42:18.960 And so you have to go
00:42:20.880 with them over the river.
00:42:23.080 And usually what happens
00:42:24.840 is if there's two people,
00:42:26.320 they'll make it so expensive
00:42:27.840 that only one can go.
00:42:30.020 And the other one
00:42:31.060 has to stay there
00:42:31.940 with the drug lords
00:42:32.740 until that other person
00:42:34.360 does some favor for them
00:42:36.540 in the United States.
00:42:38.060 And that will pay
00:42:39.420 for the passage
00:42:40.180 of the other person.
00:42:41.780 So we're,
00:42:42.840 we're,
00:42:43.680 we're growing crime.
00:42:45.620 We're putting these people
00:42:46.280 in horrible situations.
00:42:48.720 I think the president
00:42:49.940 should go down to the border
00:42:51.280 and stand on that bridge
00:42:52.360 at night and say,
00:42:53.980 and not with a crowd,
00:42:55.580 just I'm here,
00:42:56.900 just as little podium
00:42:57.680 on this empty bridge
00:42:59.860 at night.
00:43:01.520 I'm here at the border
00:43:02.960 and this is what
00:43:03.600 it's all about.
00:43:04.300 And I know people have come
00:43:05.640 and, you know,
00:43:06.060 come during the day,
00:43:06.740 but this is when it happens.
00:43:08.260 And right now,
00:43:09.360 right on this side of the bridge
00:43:10.480 and this side of the bridge,
00:43:11.360 there are people crossing
00:43:12.260 and there are border guards
00:43:13.340 that are risking their life.
00:43:14.740 And this is what
00:43:15.560 this is all about.
00:43:16.660 I think that would be
00:43:17.720 a great,
00:43:18.340 a great statement.
00:43:20.260 I don't know
00:43:21.200 because he is so theatrical.
00:43:24.680 I don't know why
00:43:25.980 he's not using this
00:43:27.340 as a,
00:43:28.220 oh,
00:43:28.980 Ted Cruz
00:43:30.080 invited me to do it
00:43:31.400 at the Senate.
00:43:32.260 I'm going to do it there.
00:43:34.440 Why is he not
00:43:35.380 doubling down on this?
00:43:37.400 It was very strange
00:43:38.500 yesterday, too,
00:43:39.200 where he kind of
00:43:40.120 called out Pelosi
00:43:40.840 and said,
00:43:41.180 all right,
00:43:41.380 if you're going to cancel
00:43:41.900 me, cancel it.
00:43:42.560 Go ahead.
00:43:42.900 I dare you.
00:43:43.780 And she's like,
00:43:44.640 okay, I cancel it.
00:43:45.440 And he's like,
00:43:45.800 okay, we'll do it after then.
00:43:47.360 It was like,
00:43:47.640 it was a weird
00:43:48.080 Donald Trump reaction
00:43:49.300 to her calling him out.
00:43:51.280 But hadn't he also,
00:43:52.440 he'd also at one point
00:43:53.860 canceled her plane flights
00:43:55.300 to Belgium
00:43:55.840 and things like that.
00:43:56.440 Because she canceled this.
00:43:58.220 Which was a wonderful display
00:43:59.840 of our elected leaders
00:44:00.680 just really being adults
00:44:02.160 in the room.
00:44:02.980 I loved it, actually.
00:44:04.340 That was fun.
00:44:05.220 Yeah.
00:44:05.500 No, I watched that
00:44:06.240 and I do a podcast
00:44:09.260 that on The Blaze,
00:44:10.400 something's off
00:44:10.840 with Andrew Heaton,
00:44:11.400 and I was like,
00:44:11.940 how can I turn this
00:44:13.300 into like a 10-minute rom-com
00:44:15.220 starring Nancy Pelosi
00:44:16.400 and Donald Trump?
00:44:17.020 I think there's,
00:44:17.740 I think there's a story there.
00:44:18.880 I'm also,
00:44:19.740 I'm,
00:44:19.920 I'm,
00:44:20.480 I'm trying to come up
00:44:21.480 with a way to make
00:44:22.140 Shut Down the musical.
00:44:24.280 I think that would actually
00:44:25.120 be a really good
00:44:25.860 Broadway musical.
00:44:26.700 I just,
00:44:26.960 I don't,
00:44:27.280 I don't have the,
00:44:28.080 Well, it's a happy musical.
00:44:29.540 Yes, exactly.
00:44:30.240 Everybody's thrilled.
00:44:31.460 Everybody's thrilled.
00:44:32.120 Everybody leaves,
00:44:33.280 you know,
00:44:33.500 on a new high.
00:44:34.520 It's Shut Down the musical.
00:44:36.340 Now,
00:44:36.500 how much of your distaste
00:44:37.260 for the State of the Union
00:44:38.060 is based on the fact
00:44:39.340 that the 100-year-or-so
00:44:42.040 tradition
00:44:43.040 of writing in a letter
00:44:44.300 was broken by
00:44:45.300 Woodrow Wilson?
00:44:47.020 Well,
00:44:47.500 a lot of it,
00:44:48.880 but it is only beaten
00:44:51.460 by the,
00:44:53.620 being forced to view
00:44:54.980 all of the cretins
00:44:56.340 that say horrible things
00:44:59.120 about Obama
00:44:59.900 or about Donald Trump
00:45:01.820 online,
00:45:03.240 and then when he's walking
00:45:04.320 down that damn aisle,
00:45:05.400 those are the ones
00:45:06.240 that are trying to stop
00:45:07.120 and get a selfie with him.
00:45:08.260 Oh,
00:45:08.500 it's so frustrating.
00:45:09.300 It's just like,
00:45:10.060 ick,
00:45:11.240 ick,
00:45:11.660 I just,
00:45:12.340 ick.
00:45:14.280 Do you think,
00:45:14.840 does Trump like that?
00:45:16.580 I mean,
00:45:16.800 maybe he likes the fact
00:45:17.620 that they all have to
00:45:18.120 kind of kiss his ass
00:45:18.880 that day.
00:45:19.220 I think he likes attention
00:45:20.100 and he likes fawning.
00:45:21.700 I think he's a big fan of it.
00:45:23.180 My other hope,
00:45:24.340 by the way,
00:45:24.640 I was thinking about
00:45:25.180 the other thing,
00:45:25.880 my main hope is that
00:45:26.760 he tweets from Burger King.
00:45:28.500 My secondary hope
00:45:29.460 is that he realizes
00:45:30.440 how desperately he needs
00:45:31.720 to give a State of the Union
00:45:32.840 address
00:45:33.240 and tries to sneak in
00:45:34.980 to the house
00:45:36.160 inside of a horse costume.
00:45:37.740 That's my,
00:45:38.200 that's my like,
00:45:38.760 like kind of like
00:45:39.160 a little rascal sketch.
00:45:40.580 And people are like,
00:45:41.020 well,
00:45:41.120 that's not the president.
00:45:41.840 That's clearly a horse
00:45:42.560 that's wandered into
00:45:43.320 the House of Representatives.
00:45:44.880 He takes off the head.
00:45:45.520 We need to get the horse wrangler,
00:45:47.060 the house horse wrangler.
00:45:47.940 It's probably,
00:45:48.800 I don't know,
00:45:49.520 some guy from Texas
00:45:50.500 and he gets to the podium
00:45:52.040 and just starts doing it
00:45:52.980 until they drag him off.
00:45:54.120 It would be really fun.
00:45:55.040 It would be a fun day to comment.
00:45:57.840 I do,
00:45:58.860 I really honestly do think
00:46:00.520 that there are things
00:46:02.020 that he could do
00:46:03.240 that would be tremendous.
00:46:05.120 For instance,
00:46:06.160 come on,
00:46:06.500 he's got,
00:46:06.980 he's the president.
00:46:07.640 He's got to be able
00:46:08.240 to get into the House chamber.
00:46:09.300 It's closed.
00:46:10.500 Get that guy
00:46:11.080 who always says,
00:46:11.620 Mr. Speaker,
00:46:12.860 get that guy.
00:46:13.420 He's got the keys.
00:46:14.360 Open up the,
00:46:14.900 open up the doors
00:46:15.700 and then him walk in.
00:46:18.000 Imagine if he,
00:46:18.780 imagine this.
00:46:21.700 He gets a live cam,
00:46:24.920 okay,
00:46:25.320 not a fixed camera,
00:46:26.400 but a live cam
00:46:27.260 that's up on his shoulder
00:46:28.120 and maybe a couple of them.
00:46:29.180 Like he's doing Snapchat
00:46:29.820 or like?
00:46:30.440 No, no, no.
00:46:30.860 Well,
00:46:31.180 he could do it on,
00:46:31.940 he could do it on,
00:46:32.980 you know,
00:46:33.420 Facebook or something,
00:46:34.300 but he's got a,
00:46:35.740 you know,
00:46:35.940 he's got a mobile camera crew
00:46:38.480 and the limousine pulls up
00:46:40.660 to the back of the Capitol
00:46:42.560 and he opens up the limousine door
00:46:44.280 and he's like,
00:46:44.760 okay,
00:46:45.420 this is the thing
00:46:46.060 you don't always see.
00:46:46.860 This place is usually
00:46:47.760 teeming with Cretans
00:46:49.100 and they're all getting ready
00:46:51.060 to either clap
00:46:51.920 or sit down
00:46:52.960 and not clap
00:46:53.840 depending on who's president.
00:46:55.320 so tonight's the night
00:46:57.960 I'm supposed to give
00:46:58.540 the State of the Union
00:46:59.360 but Nancy Pelosi said,
00:47:01.820 no,
00:47:03.540 I don't really care
00:47:04.380 because those people really,
00:47:07.900 they're not representing you
00:47:09.620 and you know what this is like.
00:47:11.280 I'm going to,
00:47:12.040 in fact,
00:47:12.600 get the guy with the keys,
00:47:13.900 you know,
00:47:14.080 the guy's with Mr. Speaker,
00:47:15.360 go ahead,
00:47:16.400 get him.
00:47:16.940 Is that him over there?
00:47:17.780 Yeah,
00:47:18.020 open up the doors,
00:47:18.760 will you?
00:47:19.760 Now he's in,
00:47:20.640 now he's in waiting
00:47:21.480 for the doors to open up
00:47:22.740 and then he mockingly says,
00:47:24.100 Mr. Speaker,
00:47:25.020 in a dark room,
00:47:26.180 the President of the United States
00:47:28.040 and he's got in his pocket
00:47:29.580 a little clap machine
00:47:31.420 where he pushes it
00:47:32.980 and he goes,
00:47:33.780 yeah.
00:47:35.420 Then he goes down
00:47:36.560 and he just kind of sits
00:47:37.660 on the rail
00:47:38.400 in the House
00:47:39.600 and he says,
00:47:41.100 look,
00:47:41.280 I'm going to give you
00:47:41.760 the State of the Union
00:47:42.560 and because they didn't show up,
00:47:44.440 I don't think it's that hard.
00:47:46.800 I'm just,
00:47:47.720 you know,
00:47:48.060 that's where the Democrats sit
00:47:49.460 and this is on the,
00:47:50.640 on the right
00:47:51.560 is where the Republicans sit
00:47:52.860 and I can just do this myself.
00:47:55.920 So here's what I'm going to do
00:47:57.320 and he starts talking
00:47:58.660 about the State of the Union
00:47:59.520 and he just presses a little,
00:48:01.280 that little clap thing
00:48:02.360 and maybe he says
00:48:04.020 that's from,
00:48:04.840 you know,
00:48:05.000 and he looks over to the left,
00:48:07.080 okay,
00:48:07.320 they'd be clapping at that one
00:48:08.360 and then he says something else,
00:48:10.260 they'd be clapping at that one
00:48:11.520 but they wouldn't,
00:48:12.520 these people over here,
00:48:13.500 they'd still be sitting down.
00:48:14.520 I just want to just,
00:48:15.620 I mean,
00:48:15.920 I can do this as a one-man show
00:48:17.380 and just mock it.
00:48:20.800 I would enjoy that.
00:48:22.100 I would,
00:48:22.360 you know what,
00:48:22.660 that would be,
00:48:23.180 that would be a good way
00:48:24.200 to kind of conclude,
00:48:26.020 hopefully,
00:48:26.500 the imperial address
00:48:27.380 to the nation.
00:48:28.660 So we have a whole network
00:48:30.660 planned for State of the Union.
00:48:33.000 I'm trying to convince them
00:48:34.520 that if he doesn't do something,
00:48:36.940 I'm,
00:48:37.300 I'm trying to suggest
00:48:38.500 that maybe we still go through
00:48:40.580 with it,
00:48:41.160 but we get Mark Levin
00:48:42.920 to do a five-minute
00:48:44.440 State of the Union.
00:48:45.500 We get Stephen Crowder
00:48:47.840 to do,
00:48:48.640 if he were president,
00:48:50.300 do your State of the Union.
00:48:51.820 I'd do my State of the Union.
00:48:53.520 All the big names
00:48:54.480 would do the State of the Union
00:48:56.500 as they would deliver it
00:48:58.400 if they were Donald Trump today.
00:49:00.220 What would,
00:49:00.680 what would they say?
00:49:01.640 If they were president,
00:49:02.640 what would you do?
00:49:03.800 That's a great idea.
00:49:04.980 That would be great.
00:49:05.660 That would be great.
00:49:06.900 One way or another,
00:49:07.600 we're doing a State of the Union
00:49:08.920 address,
00:49:09.420 I think.
00:49:10.440 Is that true?
00:49:11.200 I don't think that's
00:49:11.960 necessarily accurate.
00:49:12.420 I'm pretty sure
00:49:12.960 that's going to be true.
00:49:13.840 I'm pretty sure
00:49:14.440 that's going to be true.
00:49:15.240 Oh, okay.
00:49:15.720 I'm pretty sure.
00:49:17.000 Pretty sure.
00:49:18.320 Oh, all right.
00:49:19.140 He seems sure, Andrew.
00:49:20.240 I don't know how to react to that,
00:49:21.480 but it's Nancy Pelosi.
00:49:22.180 I'm making stuff for it
00:49:22.920 either way.
00:49:23.360 They've reached out to me
00:49:24.260 to come up with some
00:49:24.880 color commentary
00:49:25.560 for the State of the Union,
00:49:26.840 so I will figure out a way
00:49:28.680 to add some goodness.
00:49:29.980 I mean,
00:49:30.120 even if it's a puppet show,
00:49:32.100 I might do a puppet show.
00:49:33.520 I might do the State of the Union
00:49:35.040 as a puppet show.
00:49:35.700 If I were president,
00:49:36.680 I would 100% invite
00:49:38.220 Aster and Waldorf,
00:49:39.780 the two old Muppet guys
00:49:40.780 into the peanut gallery.
00:49:42.940 A thousand percent
00:49:44.600 I would do that.
00:49:45.360 Would it be great?
00:49:45.460 And like gesture to them
00:49:46.920 and like get a standing ovation
00:49:48.100 for the two old angry Muppets.
00:49:51.440 What's wrong with this guy?
00:49:53.920 It would be tremendous.
