Transcript
00:00:00.000
Hello, America. Well, here it is, our podcast for Valentine's Day.
00:00:10.460
Love the things that are happening to our listeners.
00:00:16.460
And we're seeing couples come together as part of a couple of the year celebration we do every year.
00:00:21.220
And I think we all know that any good relationship is based in lies.
00:00:24.200
And that's why we have our couple of the year, which is a total and complete sham.
00:00:30.340
It's really made for people who didn't get reservations, didn't buy a car, didn't do something, and now is in hot water.
00:00:41.500
We tried to bail them out, and I think it's rather touching and beautiful.
00:00:46.280
So we have that and so much more, including Andrew Heaton and our hatred for Washington.
00:01:01.840
You're listening to the Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:10.180
Should we do our sponsor this half hour? What do you think?
00:01:16.740
Cell service, almost all of it is exactly the same because everybody's using the same cell towers, okay?
00:01:21.800
And what these companies do is they get their own customers, and they charge all kinds of really high prices.
00:01:27.920
Then they sell time on that tower to other companies, and they charge really, really the low basic rate.
00:01:34.220
Now, you're denying those companies that own those cell towers the money, all that big fat profit, to be able to go and donate to things like Planned Parenthood.
00:01:45.620
So if you switch to another one that has the same coverage, but is not giving that big fat profit, you hurt that big company, you also help the little company, and you help your own causes because that little company is not giving all the money to Planned Parenthood.
00:02:09.960
They know what your hard-earned money is worth, and they'll give you the exact same coverage.
00:02:26.380
They make the transition really, really simple.
00:02:42.220
At the end, we're going to adopt a new neighbor child, but this is a special episode for Valentine's Day, and what we're doing is we're pulling guys' butts out of the fire.
00:02:54.340
Now, we are not here to make excuses for you, even though I think some men might have really tried, and just something happened, and we understand that.
00:03:05.440
I don't think we need to get into that, but we're not here to save you on anything.
00:03:11.140
You're still going to have to pay for everything.
00:03:13.140
You're still going to have to make all the things.
00:03:16.360
Yeah, so the idea is here, if you are waking up this morning, realizing it's Valentine's Day, and saying, holy crap, I have no reservation, there's no way I'm going to get decent flowers at this point, what am I going to do?
00:03:30.660
We here at the Glenn Beck Program have a temporary solution for you.
00:03:36.420
This doesn't get you out of treating your spouse or girlfriend nicely.
00:03:39.960
And I warn you, if your spouse or girlfriend listens to this show.
00:03:48.680
Do not try to take advantage of this if they listen to this show.
00:03:51.180
Rye, we don't want you to mention the local radio station you're on, where this is going to be the Big Frog 110 FM, so she cannot find it later, because you're doomed.
00:04:04.840
But if you know she doesn't listen, this is going to be your get-out-of-jail-free-for-a-few-days card.
00:04:13.540
So, if you're interested in this, and you realize you're in this situation, you can call now, 888-727-BECK.
00:04:21.180
You're going to listen to how this works here in just a moment, as we have our first caller lined up, that brought in from Social Network last night.
00:04:27.500
The idea here is, because of a contest you entered, and you have now won, we are asking you to delay your Valentine's Day plans.
00:04:43.860
And you have been named the couple of the year because of a romantic letter you have written.
00:04:50.020
Show the background, because we're going to make the whole studio look different here when they're on the phone, so they can clip it.
00:04:55.760
And you can, okay, so go to the Valentine's couple of the year background.
00:05:00.500
This is one of the reasons why you need the blaze.
00:05:08.760
So, you win this magical couple of the year because of this heartfelt letter you wrote.
00:05:12.400
Now, we'll help you through that letter, because we've done this many times, and we have a scientific way of knowing how this will work.
00:05:21.460
You have to answer a few questions, and we will get you through this.
00:05:24.400
When you win the couple of the year, of course, your wife thinks you're so thoughtful, which you obviously are not if you're in this situation.
00:05:32.440
There just might have been some extenuating circumstances.
00:05:38.500
I'm just sticking up for some guys who may not be dirtbags.
00:05:42.400
And so, obviously, when your wife thinks you're that thoughtful, she'll be thrilled to say, you know what?
00:05:47.920
Let's delay the plans that my husband had already made.
00:05:51.840
But then you have to make good on it next week, or you're totally dead.
00:05:56.200
He's in North Carolina, and we have a form letter that he has to fill out, and then we'll call his spouse.
00:06:17.000
Have you ever missed a birthday or anniversary?
00:06:23.540
So, this is the type of person you're talking about.
00:06:27.900
What's your excuse for missing Valentine's Day this year?
00:06:34.880
So, they don't have stores in Indiana or phones or the internet?
00:06:54.680
I don't know why they have the wildfires behind me.
00:06:58.380
James, the reason why we ask is because the more...
00:07:03.520
The lazier you've been, the longer you have to wait for the last line.
00:07:13.460
So, we have this theory that the longer you wait between...
00:07:23.460
The longer you wait between the name Aaron and I Love You, the more powerful it is.
00:07:34.420
So, you are just going to have to wait for five seconds at the end.
00:07:38.760
I want you to say, when I say, hey, is there anything, James, you want to say before we
00:08:01.460
Now, we will say, too, if you go too soon, if you...
00:08:10.020
If you go too soon, we're going to blow it for you.
00:08:16.280
So, you have to make sure you wait that five seconds.
00:08:41.360
I had to tell you about my beautiful wife, Erin.
00:08:56.740
Or why did it take you so long to think of that?
00:08:58.580
Did you say her butt and use the crass term or you say eyes?
00:09:26.100
But as time went into so much more, I guess, the true love.
00:09:30.340
You knew it was true love the first time you...
00:10:04.100
I guess what sets her apart is the distinctive way she does something like nobody else.
00:10:27.920
The way she takes care of our house and our farm.
00:10:57.040
You could have just said brown, but light golden brown is so much better.
00:12:12.300
So I'm going to say to you at the end, is there anything you want to say, James, to Aaron
00:12:29.480
We get to the love doctor business and try to heal this.
00:12:33.780
We're going to take one minute break, tell you about our commercial, then back, and we'll
00:12:58.240
But we've saved more relationships than we've ruined, and that's the way we look at it.
00:13:17.600
Unless he was a guy who really did do the job, but then somebody on his staff kind of
00:13:26.140
I'm just saying that some people are good guys who love their wife, and things happen.
00:13:41.100
Let's make sure she does not get on hold until we are ready to start, because they can't
00:13:48.640
So as soon as she picks up the phone, you start the bed and put the...
00:14:15.440
It looks exactly like I would picture this bit going.
00:14:20.000
The fact that some radio station's doing a cheesy couple of the year thing, and it's
00:14:46.040
You may need to text her and say, hey, there's an important call coming in.
00:14:58.560
This is when it gets really hard because, you know, we're trying to save people's relationships
00:15:04.120
And if she doesn't pick up, you're basically getting a divorce.
00:15:08.060
You know, you're saying that dressed as a doctor.
00:15:11.220
Put a pin in because I believed you, but not quite.
00:15:14.560
But now that you put the pin right there, now I believe you a little bit more.
00:15:31.980
I think if I have some fake glasses, it'll look better.
00:15:44.400
So, this is your chance to get in on this, by the way.
00:15:52.060
Again, your wife obviously has to be available.
00:15:54.980
If she's in the middle of an MRI, this is not the day for you.
00:16:02.600
Because you've forgotten Valentine's Day and your wife is having a CAT scan for some reason.
00:16:11.380
By the way, I'm going to New York to the National Day of Mourning event.
00:16:27.620
I thought there was still all sorts of hurdles to clear on this.
00:16:32.460
Because I was at a meeting I had at 8 p.m. last night.
00:16:37.780
Because I had one at 5 p.m. where I made it very clear that we're going.
00:16:43.360
What I'm saying is my meeting was after your meeting.
00:16:52.500
And she talked about this event she was doing in Albany a week from Saturday.
00:17:03.080
It's a National Day of Mourning where we are going to, or they are going to gather and have talks and also prayer for a National Day of Mourning, asking God, please forgive us for all of this.
00:17:29.360
But it is a bit of a distraction from something that you keep bringing up, which is that people who have staffs might have had issues with Valentine's Day.
00:17:40.840
I don't know anyone who has a staff other than you.
00:17:54.040
I said, talk to his staff and had decided on stuff.
00:18:09.860
And then two days before, you know, this particular individual says, OK, so we're all on for dinner at, you know, Trulock's and or someplace like that.
00:18:28.860
And then they look down on the calendar and say, ah.
00:18:36.880
And then an hour later, they come back and say, OK, here's the thing.
00:18:43.560
But Trulock's is a restaurant that there's several locations.
00:18:48.960
And you also had your executive assistant who just left to start her own business.
00:18:56.040
And the wife had been called to make sure that that particular restaurant was the one she wanted to go to.
00:19:06.800
And now you couldn't get a reservation no matter who you are.
00:19:19.720
This is why you were so intent on bringing this bit back.
00:19:24.280
All of a sudden, Valentine's Day this year is so important.
00:19:29.520
Now, I'm not saying that that that we were going to a restaurant and we are going.
00:19:36.100
We're absolutely I've planned this for a long time.
00:19:50.660
So you have you should have sympathy for these people.
00:20:05.940
So let's let's get to the let's get to him first.
00:20:25.820
And Jonathan, let's just go through this letter because I don't understand some of the things
00:20:31.380
It's just kind of like a form letter where you just fill in the blanks.
00:20:36.420
The first time we worked at Pizza Hut, you knew it was true love.
00:20:56.240
Then you went to the Dominican Republic on a vacation.
00:21:01.620
And I guess what sets her apart is the distinctive way she and what is written here is vocabulary.
00:21:37.640
By the way, guys, I'm stalling a meeting just for this right now.
00:21:42.640
We're not shooting them down because of this phone call.
00:22:05.340
You get nothing from us except we're buying you a few extra days.
00:22:12.460
You shouldn't have gone into the public sector.
00:22:31.040
Have you ever missed a Valentine's Day or birthday or anniversary?
00:22:36.820
Not an anniversary because it's on Valentine's Day.
00:22:40.700
You forgot your anniversary and Valentine's Day today?
00:22:47.260
You better be killing ISIS members by yourself.
00:22:57.060
So, Jonathan, is there anything you want to say to Jalon before we part?
00:23:03.560
Jalon, you have to count to full 10 seconds no matter what she says.
00:23:11.160
You wait 10 seconds and then you say, I love you.
00:23:18.100
So, Jonathan, is there anything you want to say to Jalon before we hang up?
00:23:35.760
It's the separation between the name and the I love you that makes it so powerful.
00:23:57.360
Please don't equip the drones with just the auto kill.
00:24:04.980
Let's go ahead and put this full screen back behind me.
00:24:13.460
It's Glenn Beck's quest to find America's ultimate couple of love.
00:24:23.940
So now to introduce the country's most passionate pair.
00:24:33.560
And you know this lasts the entire year just trying to find the most romantic couple and the couple that that America feels is an example to all of us.
00:24:46.500
And we've brought in Dick Dickerson, who is a doctor, family therapist.
00:24:59.560
And you've been going over this and using all kinds of research and analysis and your years of study of couples.
00:25:05.920
As a physician and a counselor and a doctor of love studies, I have met with over 14,000 couples.
00:25:17.980
Just the unique and distinct ways that he spoke about.
00:25:22.980
He really knew real specifics about this relationship.
00:25:37.900
Now, does Jillan know anything about what's been going on?
00:25:45.520
And I understand today's not just Valentine's Day.
00:26:06.020
Did Jonathan let on during the year at all that he was doing this?
00:26:24.660
Well, I'm glad that we got you on the phone, because...
00:26:34.140
I hope you don't mind, Jonathan, that I share with the audience this, but I want to read
00:26:39.740
Dear Mr. Beck, I have never entered a contest like this before.
00:26:48.640
What was it about this contest that you said, you know what, I'm going to do it?
00:26:53.620
I'm just such a huge fan of yours, so I had to participate.
00:26:58.300
So, I've never entered a contest like this before.
00:27:00.560
However, I felt I had to tell you about my beautiful wife, Jillan.
00:27:04.260
I really can't express in words how uniquely wonderful Jillan truly is.
00:27:09.520
Honestly, at first, I think I was just attracted to her personality, but as time went by, it
00:27:18.620
Now, that's unusual, Doctor, because usually people say I was attracted to her body, and
00:27:25.140
The personality was first here, and we've done many studies with the AMA and the ADA,
00:27:30.800
and we found an incredible amount of the physical attraction coming first, but this
00:27:37.640
So, that was one of the interesting parts of this.
00:27:39.280
I guess I knew it was true love the first time we worked at Pizza Hut.
00:27:52.940
What was it about, Jillan, what was it about working together at Pizza Hut that was...
00:28:03.220
Yeah, I mean, it's his letter, but I didn't know if you remembered it as fondly as he did.
00:28:09.880
It is so funny, because I was working there a good five months, and I was closing up.
00:28:16.000
It was the first time without Jonathan working.
00:28:22.380
And the other kitchen people, they were like, what are you doing?
00:28:26.640
And they really said, no, it's just Jonathan does it for you.
00:28:33.520
I'm going to tell you the God's honest truth here, Jillan.
00:28:36.740
I asked him before we went on to tell me that story, because I didn't understand it.
00:29:04.520
And I was reflecting on this this morning, just about how you do not even know, or you
00:29:11.300
can't even conceptualize what marriage is at that age.
00:29:18.420
But just something keeps you going, and you just keep going forward.
00:29:24.880
So there's times where you need to take a break, and you need to just celebrate each
00:29:29.160
other, and kind of say, you know, I'm sorry, I'm learning on you and with you, and there's
00:29:36.300
things that you can hurt each other with, but it doesn't mean that you just give up and
00:29:40.740
Jonathan, in talking to Jill on, this particular couple of the year this year has taken on
00:29:50.400
a new and deeper meaning, hearing her talk about you.
00:29:55.020
And it's kind of hard to go on, but I'm going to.
00:29:58.960
He says, I guess what sets her apart is the distinctive way she uses her vocabulary, uses
00:30:07.820
her vocabulary, unlike any other brown-haired woman in Ellis County.
00:30:15.280
He says, I could go on forever, but that would take away from my time with her, and I have
00:30:23.680
to get back to work at the Department of Defense, where I'm a supervisor.
00:30:31.520
Besides, everyone always tries to make love so complex, and I think that's why I should
00:30:36.600
be your Valentine's couple of the year, because for me, it's simple.
00:30:49.700
Okay, so here's the thing, and I'm going to have to take the blame on this one.
00:30:53.320
I happen to be in Washington for the State of the Union and everything else, and I dropped
00:30:58.400
the ball, and we were supposed to take you to one of your favorite restaurants tonight,
00:31:06.240
Yes, but I have been out of town, and I dropped the ball on this, and I am so sorry about that.
00:31:12.480
You shouldn't take all the responsibility for that.
00:31:13.960
A lot of that was the charity work you were doing, and it was admirable.
00:31:18.080
So anyway, so we've set up something for you next Friday, if that's okay, at the Colombian.
00:31:23.700
So would you mind, please forgive me, do you mind not celebrating?
00:31:28.180
Your anniversary and Valentine's Day until next week.
00:31:44.640
Well, I think, Jonathan, the way she spoke about Pizza Hut, and it is their anniversary...
00:31:52.900
Tonight you celebrate Pizza Hut, and next week you do the Colombian.
00:31:59.500
Jonathan, is there anything that you want to say to Jalon?
00:32:16.340
Is there anything else you wanted to say to Jalon?
00:32:32.760
I know, you know, I'm beyond difficult, and I know you...
00:32:40.100
We kind of lost a little bit of that, but I mean, we lost about 10 seconds of that.
00:32:44.960
If you could just restate what you were saying earlier, we don't want to lose that full 10 seconds.
00:32:51.340
So, is there anything you want to say to Jalon?
00:33:11.680
Can we ask you guys to hold on for just a second?
00:33:14.380
If you could pick up Jalon and we could talk maybe to Jonathan here.
00:33:20.560
Yeah, we're having a problem with the connection.
00:33:26.280
I'm going to just do a real quick commercial for a minute and then we'll come back.
00:33:30.860
We're having a Dickens of a time getting somebody on the other end of the phone.
00:33:45.520
Did your power go out last night or something and you put on a long nightgown with a
00:33:58.860
So Ma was in her kerchief and I was in my cap and we had just settled down for a long winter's
00:34:03.980
nap when out on the lawn I heard such a clatter and that clatter was no one is picking up the
00:34:13.260
Sarah, do we have a contestant that we know we can get to the other person?
00:34:20.440
Okay, so we have a long list of people but you have to be able to connect to the other
00:34:29.360
person so we can make you the couple of the year.
00:34:32.420
It's advisable to text them and say hey or call them and say hey there's a call coming
00:34:37.980
Sarah, how close is Mike, our phone screener, to currently hanging himself?
00:34:47.580
Okay, because I'm using the rickety one in about five minutes.
00:34:55.120
I'll kick it from underneath me and then you can just bring it to Mike.
00:35:10.060
All Valentine's, Valentine's Day has always gone well for me.
00:35:20.060
I will tell you, I will tell you, Pat, that I hate you today.
00:35:40.700
That is really, for most guys, is really remembered as that really bloody massacre in Chicago that
00:35:53.580
And that's really, that's the only thing special for guys on Valentine's Day.
00:36:01.780
So why don't we just say, hey, let's stay home, I'll get you some chocolate, and let's
00:36:07.920
watch a documentary on the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
00:36:11.500
Minus the chocolate, that's exactly what Jackie and I are doing tonight.
00:36:17.820
I think of you, every time I hear you give the spot.
00:36:20.600
If your wife says, I don't need anything, don't believe it, except in the case of my
00:36:43.000
She does, but she's got like your grandparent sensibilities.
00:36:58.360
And then in the beginning, I used to ignore that.
00:37:00.880
And she would tell me, don't get me, don't get me anything.
00:37:03.900
And I would ignore that because she really does want something, I would believe.
00:37:15.100
But the kids really would like to go to Disneyland.
00:37:19.800
And they thought it would be, it's impractical.
00:37:30.600
So I feel for you at the same time I hate your guts.
00:37:48.080
She doesn't even listen to Pac-Ray Unleashed, let alone this show.
00:37:53.560
Do you remember when they thought we were funny?
00:37:55.660
That lasted about an hour and a half, probably, after the wedding.
00:38:01.340
Then remember when they thought we were funny together?
00:38:10.760
And then they just look at each other now when we're together and go, oh.
00:38:38.320
My wife always gets, it's, they used to get, is he as funny at home as he is?
00:38:52.800
Now they're like, you, you are, you're a brave woman.
00:39:17.420
I can't express how uniquely wonderful Julie is.
00:39:21.140
Honestly, the first time I thought I was just attracted to her.
00:39:58.020
How about we just leave it at the first time we made contact?
00:40:05.360
And that trip to any vacation that she'll remember?
00:40:17.520
The distinctive way she does something like no other person does.
00:40:21.800
The way she loves her, me and her, the rest, her kids.
00:40:30.020
The way she loves you and the rest of her kids.
00:40:41.320
That would just be uncomfortable if you were also her kids.
00:40:48.080
See, now this is really, I want to caution you because if she finds out that you're doing
00:40:53.260
this to buy a few more days just to get, I don't, I mean, it could get ugly.
00:41:50.120
Good thing is if you work at a church when you need to get reburied, you've got a place
00:42:16.160
So now, have you ever missed a birthday or anniversary or Valentine's Day before?
00:42:37.920
It's not like, you know, at midnight, it's like you didn't say anything for two hours
00:42:45.300
We're going to give you some extra seconds here because we have this theory that the
00:42:48.840
longer you wait between her name and I love you, the more powerful that love is when
00:42:55.580
So we're going to give you a seven second wait.
00:43:01.320
I'm going to say, Don, is there anything that you want to say to Julie before you leave?
00:43:05.240
And you say, yes, Glenn, Julie, then in your head, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:43:18.620
If you say okay or something like that beforehand, we're going to blow it for you.
00:43:27.280
So, Don, is there anything you want to say to her before we hang up?
00:43:50.940
Then we're going to come back with Don and Julie.
00:43:54.500
And if Julie's not there, there's a rickety stool in the back that we're just going to shove up here.
00:44:21.060
Did you have any idea that Don was working on something for you?
00:44:29.160
Well, you two have been selected as our couple of the year.
00:44:43.540
We took something out of this letter, I think, that really put them over the edge.
00:44:48.380
It says, Dear Mr. Beck, I've never entered a contest like this before.
00:44:58.180
However, I felt I had to tell you about my beautiful wife, Julie.
00:45:02.440
I really can't express in words how uniquely wonderful Julie truly is.
00:45:07.180
Honestly, at first, I think I was just attracted to her looks and her beautiful demeanor.
00:45:15.920
But this, as time went by, it turned into so much more.
00:45:19.700
I guess I knew it was true love the first time we made contact.
00:45:47.740
I guess what sets her apart is the distinctive way she loves me and the rest of the family,
00:45:53.100
unlike any other blonde woman in Hillsborough County.
00:45:57.020
I could go on forever, but that would take away from my time with her.
00:46:03.480
I work at Cedar Point where I'm a maintenance manager from 9 to 5 Monday through Thursday and
00:46:12.560
Besides, everyone always tries to make love so complex.
00:46:16.000
But that's why I think we should be your Valentine's couple of the year, because for me, it's simple.
00:46:41.120
Now, I have to tell you, we're doing this on Valentine's Day, but we've kind of screwed
00:46:47.040
And so we're going to have to have you guys go out to dinner.
00:46:51.180
We were supposed to make the reservations and we didn't.
00:46:58.060
Julie, do you mind if you don't do something tonight and you wait a little bit?
00:47:08.380
And Don, is there anything you want to say to Julie?
00:47:25.100
Don and Julie from Florida, our couple of the year.
00:47:47.580
Let me just finish this clip because I just think this clip is just so outrageous.
00:47:54.060
We all know that Maduro, he altered the elections.
00:47:58.900
He took all of the people that were running against him that had a chance and he put them in jail.
00:48:14.920
And he's using food as a weapon in that last election.
00:48:19.340
He, in Spanish, his slogan was, you give, I give.
00:48:24.660
Meaning you vote for me, I give your community food.
00:48:31.720
But apparently, Congressman Omar does, has no idea.
00:48:41.520
Yes or no, would you support an armed faction within Venezuela that engages in war crimes,
00:48:49.520
crimes against humanity or genocide, if you believe they were serving U.S. interest,
00:48:55.840
as you did in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua?
00:49:03.620
I don't think this entire line of questioning is meant to be real questions.
00:49:10.900
Whether you, under your watch, a genocide will take place and you will look the other way
00:49:16.640
because American interests were being upheld is a fair question.
00:49:21.380
Because the American people want to know that any time we engage a country, that we think
00:49:31.320
about what our actions could be and how we believe our values are being farthered.
00:49:41.740
Will you make sure that human rights are not violated and that we uphold international
00:49:57.540
And the answer is that the entire thrust of American policy in Venezuela is to support
00:50:05.260
the Venezuelan people's effort to restore democracy to their country.
00:50:15.260
The question I had for you is that the interest, does the interest of the United States include
00:50:23.360
protecting human rights and include protecting people against genocide?
00:50:30.540
That is always the position of the United States.
00:50:35.200
You are not going to get a serious person to take a serious job in this country if that's
00:50:42.300
That is the most insulting thing I've ever heard.
00:50:47.840
Now, there are bad guys, you know, in Congress.
00:50:55.840
But if you really, truly believe that American interests come above genocide in a country where we are in.
00:51:08.420
Especially, how dare you, as a Muslim, as a Muslim, say those things while we have been fighting and freeing slaves that Muslims have taken because they started a deadly caliphate because we tried to free people.
00:51:27.960
And let's not just pass by the fact that we now have at least one member in the U.S. Congress that believes the American people have committed genocide on three occasions in what, the last 30 years?
00:51:43.120
I mean, I'm sure others believe it, but I don't remember anyone else ever saying it.
00:51:49.460
It's the exact same person who also thinks that Israel has hypnotized the world.
00:51:56.520
If that's not anti-Semitic, you can go to one of her many other anti-Semitic statements.
00:52:04.760
This woman is so, this woman, and she's not even the one that wrote for Louis Farrakhan for years.
00:52:13.080
I mean, she's not the only extremist in Congress now.
00:52:19.720
Well, there were plenty of extremists before, but this is...
00:52:24.340
And, you know, this isn't, you know, Maxine Waters, who's been around for a thousand years and is obviously insane.
00:52:29.620
These are three young Congress people who have been identified as the future of the Democratic Party.
00:52:43.040
I don't know how you're going to, I don't know how you're going to, I don't know how they think they're going to save or get elected in a majority with this kind of stuff.
00:52:56.900
Okay, so all that was released, apparently, all that was released, this is their excuse now and why Mitch McConnell was sabotaging them,
00:53:06.860
is because all that they had was just a memo, a talking points memo, that we think, you know, green energy is important
00:53:13.780
and we think we should eventually get off fossil fuels.
00:53:18.660
Apparently, there is no bill except a resolution that says, hey, we think these things are important.
00:53:25.340
Not an actual, hey, let's get rid of the planes and let's get rid of the cars.
00:53:51.000
I wanted to bring them on because their story is incredible.
00:53:54.140
They, they met and maybe they can help you, Andrew.
00:54:21.900
Our producers say he's there, but he's not there.
00:54:30.760
So you guys met at this leadership program that we did.
00:54:34.940
And tell me about this because none of us had any idea that there was something starting,
00:54:40.780
Um, well, it was, it was kind of one of those things where, um, I think almost everyone in,
00:54:48.240
in the program, we have a group chat actually that we all keep in touch with.
00:54:52.880
And, um, Mark and I just started texting over the group chat and formed this friendship that
00:54:58.680
kind of, um, so it wasn't, so it didn't happen while you were here in those two weeks.
00:55:05.960
Did you, were you looking across the room going, you know?
00:55:09.860
Um, I think Mark was probably more so than I was at that time.
00:55:15.460
Now, how do you feel about, because here you are on national radio talking about your love,
00:55:18.780
and in the biggest moment of your life, he's abandoned you.
00:55:29.300
Yeah, so did you, uh, did you know, uh, Mark, uh, you know, when, when you were in the leadership
00:55:35.040
program, were you, were you looking and saying, okay, Elizabeth, she will be mine or no one
00:55:46.020
I think the first time I knew I was interested was the Mercury One ball that year.
00:55:51.040
Um, that you guys were selling the raffle tickets for the car.
00:55:56.000
And, um, another girl who was volunteering, who had been in the leadership program, offered
00:56:03.040
And I said, great pitch, good practice, glad you are doing this.
00:56:10.660
See, that's the kind of thing that you do, Andrew.
00:56:14.100
No, you, if somebody is selling, uh, you know, something and, uh, and you think she's attractive,
00:56:27.400
And then be like, now, uh, if I get like two of these things, what kind of dinner are
00:56:32.260
And make it transactional because then the woman will appreciate that I'm good at math.
00:56:43.060
I'm going to get two or three cars this weekend.
00:56:45.420
So when do you, uh, when do you guys get married?
00:56:47.620
Because, because, um, I brought you up on stage at our, uh, event here for the Mercury
00:56:52.640
one ball just recently and you proposed and Elizabeth, you had no idea that was coming.
00:57:02.740
And, uh, Mark said, I live that I have a question to ask you.
00:57:05.940
And then he never asked the question and, um, I agreed to, you didn't ask.
00:57:18.140
He clarified and he told me he had all this worked up in his head and it just didn't come
00:57:26.600
So you agreed to something that you had no idea what you were agreeing to.
00:57:37.740
You're our couple of the year and we know how special that really is.
00:57:56.760
Uh, you can get involved if you're 18 to 24 years old.
00:58:04.500
It's a two week leadership training program and that's what they were both in.
00:58:07.300
Uh, and if you know somebody who is 18 to 24, or if that is you and you want to learn
00:58:12.420
about leadership, you want to learn about the foundations of America and learn firsthand.
00:58:16.600
You have a rare opportunity to handle the, uh, the founding documents yourself and do some research for yourself.
00:58:24.160
Apparently not the only thing you're handling at this, uh, particular.
00:58:29.180
Anyway, mercuryone.org slash LTP, mercuryone.org slash LTP.
00:58:40.980
If, uh, if you know what, and I, I have a comparable leadership program for models between
00:58:49.780
So if you're a model 24 to 40, uh, be sure to reach out.
00:58:53.480
How important is the Star Trek part of the relationship?
00:59:00.540
Um, you know, I, this is the give and take thing is I'm not, uh, I'm not a huge sports
00:59:04.640
So I think, I think I'd have to be like, okay, cool.
00:59:06.620
I'm not going to make you dress up at conventions with me, but I don't have to go to games unless
00:59:25.880
You can find his, a very funny podcast, um, from, uh, the blaze network and you can find
00:59:34.420
Uh, and it's something's off with Andrew Heaton.
00:59:37.400
And the more you listen, the more you realize, no, there's more than a little something.
