It's Friday. You want to blow off some steam? This is the podcast to do it with.
00:00:05.840
We had some good rants right at the beginning that you're just going to have to discover for yourself.
00:00:15.760
Also, the Impossible Burger. It's not so impossible.
00:00:19.560
Bill O'Reilly goes over the chances of Biden's winning China and Ukraine, the border.
00:00:24.580
Also, we had a big announcement today, something that we're all doing together with Bill O'Reilly.
00:00:30.000
And the exciting things that technology is bringing us.
00:00:35.200
And we have a choice. We are either going to go back to 1956 Russia, or we're going to be America at our very best.
00:00:47.360
Also, Dan Andros from Faithwire on the situation with the abortion protest in Pennsylvania.
00:01:00.000
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:10.640
Could you hang on just a second? I'm sorry. It's for Mother's Day, and the offer ends soon.
00:01:21.580
Why do I have to take this phone call? I'm so sorry. I appreciate it.
00:01:24.900
You can finish the commercial, but I mean, yeah, if we could just get to it.
00:01:39.240
Oh, wow. I'm a huge fan of yours. Thank you so much for having me on.
00:01:42.740
My name's Fred McCostraff. I am the head of right-wing outreach for the Democratic Party.
00:01:48.200
And I just wanted to... I am really excited about this crop of candidates, and I just wanted to tell you about some of them.
00:01:53.980
I'm a lifelong Republican. I am in the boat with you.
00:01:56.840
I have always voted Republican every single election since I was a child, but this time I've changed, and I just want to be able to come on the show and tell you just a little bit about some of our exciting candidates for 2020.
00:02:10.260
You're going to love them. I think your audience is going to be very excited.
00:02:16.100
No, no, no. Let me tell you about one candidate. You may have heard of her, Elizabeth Warren.
00:02:20.960
Now, I think you guys are really... Your audience is going to be very excited about what she's bringing to the table.
00:02:27.780
She's got a lot of pro-business policies, and I know...
00:02:36.800
I have a feeling that you're not... You've never voted for a Republican in your life.
00:02:41.440
Hold on one second. Let me tell you about what is going to happen in 2020.
00:02:46.160
Okay. First of all, she's got this great business, pro-business policy, and you've heard about her wealth tax, which has been very misrepresented, and we can get into that.
00:02:57.400
But another one she's coming out with here the next couple weeks.
00:03:01.120
I think you guys are going to love it as Republicans, as we are all Republicans.
00:03:05.820
Yeah. I don't think you, Fred, you're not a Republican.
00:03:09.500
Now, the breath tax works like this. It's very interesting.
00:03:18.520
Basically, what would happen is when you inhale, 3% of your salary goes to the government.
00:03:24.000
But hold on. Let me get to the pro-business part.
00:03:27.100
When you exhale, only 2% of your salary would go to the government.
00:03:34.680
So if you hold your breath, the longer you hold your breath, the less taxes you pay.
00:03:40.740
I think you guys are going to love it, and it's going to create lots of jobs.
00:03:48.600
So every time, every time, it's not like, so does that add up?
00:03:56.240
That is how the, it is a, yes, it would work that way.
00:04:05.040
We'll deal with the second breath when we'll get there.
00:04:06.820
But what I think you're going to really love about it, what you're really going to love about this policy,
00:04:12.460
and as a Republican, I think we'll agree on this one.
00:04:16.280
I'm not a Republican, and I don't think you are.
00:04:18.720
Do you care about jobs? Because I know I care about jobs.
00:04:23.740
Just very recently, I've been a lifelong Republican.
00:04:27.520
But when I changed over to the Democratic Party,
00:04:30.460
one thing I found was interesting about this breath tax is it creates jobs.
00:04:39.940
Wait a minute. It will create or save 1.5 billion jobs.
00:04:45.880
And what it's going to do is you're going to have people who are going to go around with mobile oxygen monitors.
00:04:53.520
And you'll have a person riding with you in your car with a mobile oxygen monitor.
00:04:58.780
And they will be just putting a very unintrusive, large plastic mask over your face.
00:05:08.960
Now wait, this sounds like something I don't want in my life.
00:05:13.040
A stranger driving with me to work while I'm driving, they're putting a large mask over my face.
00:05:21.320
You're going to be able to see most of the road.
00:05:23.160
I mean, this is not – it's going to be very unintrusive.
00:05:29.560
I know you guys – I know we hate immigrants, for example.
00:05:33.360
As right-wingers, wow, do I hate the immigrants.
00:05:47.820
And I think your audience is going to be very excited about Elizabeth Warren.
00:05:51.980
Who's more anti-immigrant than a Native American?
00:06:00.720
She doesn't like black people, orange people, white people.
00:06:04.480
She's really – who hates the immigrants more than someone who had, like, basically their entire race wiped out and put onto casinos or whatever, right?
00:06:15.340
And so I know you're with me on this one because you're a Republican and I'm a Republican.
00:06:19.240
A lot of people are saying, oh, Elizabeth Warren, she can't be for a strong border because she's not wanting to build the wall.
00:06:28.940
I think a lot of Republicans would be interesting.
00:06:31.180
She wants to drape smallpox blankets across the border.
00:06:49.080
Elizabeth Warren hates immigrants, loves breath taxing.
00:07:04.840
It's interesting they're trying to bring both sides together.
00:07:11.460
They've spent the time to really get to know us.
00:07:22.280
I think the Trump administration is a little terrified of that.
00:07:25.120
Well, the smallpox blanket screen, it's cheaper.
00:07:38.500
We get like, you know, when they have like conventions and stuff, just like that drape and piping.
00:07:46.740
I never thought Elizabeth Warren would be the one that would come up with that, but.
00:08:16.700
Bill O'Reilly is going to be with us in just a few minutes.
00:08:19.940
And we have kind of a cool, really cool announcement.
00:08:22.940
One that I really thought, he's not going to do that.
00:08:29.620
And so we have a cool, really cool announcement with Bill O'Reilly coming up in just about 45 minutes.
00:08:37.700
Today's the Uber, the big IPO coming out here in the near future.
00:08:45.240
There's a story out about some of these investments on these startups, which is somewhat impressive.
00:08:55.240
It's like these type of investments that you just never, they never come around to you, you know.
00:09:00.420
So this is, someone invested, this is first round capital, invested $500,000 in Uber back in the day.
00:09:18.960
Well, I would love it more if I could have been the guy, yeah.
00:09:23.520
So the return on the investment, it is over a nine-year period.
00:09:30.720
See, this is the kind of lottery I want to win.
00:09:33.440
You know, going to the lottery and just doing a scratch ticket, it's not.
00:09:37.980
But I would want to win the lottery where you've invested, you know, $1,000 and it's worth a million.
00:09:46.400
You know, and you've built something at the same time.
00:09:50.860
But I guess that's what the lottery is because we're building this great education system all around the country.
00:09:59.840
Because I think, wow, we've invested how much through the lottery in education and look how good it is.
00:10:15.860
It's one of those things, too, where you don't get the respect if you win the lottery.
00:10:19.600
Winning the lottery is basically people look at you and they're like, oh, that dope lucked out and now they got all this money and it pisses me off.
00:10:27.180
When you invest some money into a company, which is just as much a crapshoot as the lottery, basically.
00:10:35.520
Then you're like, wow, that guy's a business genius.
00:10:38.220
I mean, he didn't come up with the idea or do any of the work on it, but he put his money into it very early.
00:10:42.700
I would love one of these guys to come out, like, you know, in a bathrobe and slippers and pull up in a big, like, you know, Winnebago.
00:10:53.500
And, you know, I'm just here to collect my billion dollars.
00:11:01.940
A $750,000 investment in Lyft worth now $240 million.
00:11:10.740
You're supposed to do this the other way because that would have seemed really, wow.
00:11:16.560
We have a $9 million LinkedIn investment, $1.3 billion.
00:11:27.800
Somebody signed me up for LinkedIn years ago, and then I can't stop LinkedIn.
00:11:37.220
But then about, I don't know, six months ago, I was like, I give up.
00:11:54.660
If you don't get an email from me, if you're my wife, honey, could you answer my email?
00:12:17.360
And it's one thing with LinkedIn because it's activity.
00:12:22.100
I swear, though, it feels like they reach out on your behalf to others as well.
00:12:27.420
So they're constantly saying, and they're just persistent in trying to make you do additional things.
00:12:34.420
They're like, hey, did you know somebody just had a job promotion?
00:12:54.520
Like, you send it, and they, you know, they're like, I got one of those two about you.
00:13:16.000
How about 11.8 million in Google by Kleiner Perkins in 1999, 4.8 billion, and then 14.8
00:13:27.920
million dollars in Facebook now worth 5.7 billion dollars.
00:13:36.760
And again, this is, you get the respect of being smart out of that.
00:13:39.680
But, but, but my father-in-law, he bought all the Beanie Babies.
00:13:48.000
I am sitting on an inheritance like you will not believe.
00:13:51.920
Okay, so, uh, a couple things happened to me last night.
00:14:06.740
Uh, one, I had the greatest, I had the greatest night ever because I had the opportunity to
00:14:14.160
lie to two family members and each of them thought that they were in on it.
00:14:20.880
Uh, I went to, we went to the kids school and, uh, and Cheyenne and Tanya both got an award.
00:14:29.980
She got a service award and, uh, I don't know, uh, Cheyenne got a, I bribed the teacher with
00:14:39.120
I don't know what that, but anyway, so, so, uh, Cheyenne knew about mom's award and mom
00:14:52.520
And so I was telling them, yeah, I was telling them both a lie.
00:14:56.160
I'm like, okay, all right, all right, Cheyenne might know if I say I'm coming because then
00:15:03.660
she might know, oh, maybe I'm, I've got some sort of, you know, scholastic award or something.
00:15:07.640
And so I'm, I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna, uh, uh, tell her that I'm not coming.
00:15:20.520
And then, then I told my, uh, my daughter, uh, listen, mom's getting an award, but, uh,
00:15:32.800
So I need you to go and you just be with mom and I'm going to tell mom I'm not coming.
00:15:40.280
So then when I show up, so both of them thought they were in on this scam of me showing up.
00:16:03.320
Yeah, they were both surprised and it was, it was really great.
00:16:08.420
My son won the Christ like, uh, the Christ like, uh, public school.
00:16:15.440
Uh, what was it like the Christ like award or something for the, what was it?
00:16:22.500
And I've never been more embarrassed in my life.
00:16:25.460
He actually, he did not know he was going to win, but he had dressed up, uh, as if it was
00:16:33.360
like going to be a, you know, an Academy award.
00:16:36.800
And he goes to a school that has the word Academy in it.
00:16:40.640
And so when they announced the Christ like award, which, and his name, he stood up like
00:16:59.720
And he said, I just like to thank the Academy for this award.
00:17:03.560
It was like, and I was just in the back sweating going, oh my gosh, no, it's the Christ like
00:17:11.560
I love how, I like how he kind of puts you in awkward positions.
00:17:15.120
Cause this is your specialty and has been your specialty for decades with your children.
00:17:19.020
Of putting them in the most awkward positions possible.
00:17:28.060
He's like, dad, dad, there'll be 20 seconds, just 20 seconds.
00:17:33.680
And, uh, you just, you just drop them in and they'll be incredibly embarrassing for you.
00:17:45.840
I'm going out to dinner with my family, two award winners.
00:17:51.980
And, uh, we have dinner and my wife says, tell me about the vegan burger.
00:17:57.240
Now my daughter, my other daughter, my second oldest, uh, Hannah, she has decided to go all
00:18:08.320
And now I see my wife say, tell me about the vegan burger.
00:18:19.680
We, as you know, there's this a vegan burger called the impossible burger that people say
00:18:29.040
However, we have secured some for you and Pat to taste test.
00:18:41.640
If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?
00:18:46.240
If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.
00:18:58.380
I mean, you've got to be great with two hamburgers in front of you.
00:19:06.100
Um, my, my daughter has gone vegan and, uh, and I don't like it.
00:19:27.260
First of all, I never, I never said to anyone in my entire life, I know what I want to be
00:19:44.520
It's here's a pleasure to watch this happen to you.
00:19:50.660
So I'm going to, so we're going to New York for a week or two and I'm going to be working
00:20:13.180
She started it about, it started creeping in maybe two years ago.
00:20:19.760
And Tim was really unhealthy and he was starting to look like me.
00:20:28.100
Because I see Tim every day and I don't remember this era.
00:20:32.860
No, he looked like, what's his name from the Santa Claus?
00:20:50.220
But you got to understand, your daughter, like when people, when vegans look at your daughter,
00:20:55.320
they're like, look at that, look at that crazy left winger over there.
00:20:59.520
She's not a left winger, but she's, she is way further than vegan, right?
00:21:07.840
Composting and like, she's like all the way there.
00:21:14.440
What I really like, she never lectures anybody.
00:21:18.860
And she's like, you know, dad, you don't have to, you know, it's my, but we go out to dinner
00:21:23.800
and she will bring her own, you know, yeah, her own little, you know, Tupperware stuff
00:21:35.260
Well, living it is becoming easier as someone who has to deal with this every day, especially
00:21:39.700
in Texas, where I think the most vegan thing you can have is like ribs with less lard than
00:21:46.800
Like that's, that's the vegetarian way to live.
00:21:55.600
So there's this thing called the impossible burger.
00:21:58.140
There is a shortage nationwide right now of these things.
00:22:00.860
And they're one of these, there's two main companies doing this, trying to basically make
00:22:04.280
a plant-based burger that, and other sorts of meat.
00:22:08.120
So this is not like better, better living through pharmaceuticals.
00:22:14.460
This is, they take the, the enzyme of a pea or something?
00:22:19.220
So there's a, they found the specific thing that makes meat taste like meat, basically.
00:22:25.740
Because there's a very small amount of maybe, I don't know exactly.
00:22:28.340
You know, they are, they are experts at this and I am not.
00:22:31.840
However, they basically put that in as part of these things.
00:22:35.440
And if you go out and look, if you take a quick glance, right, you'll look and they
00:22:44.300
I'd like it because we have an A and B taste test.
00:22:47.800
We got them from Hopdotty, which is a Texas restaurant, which I got them last night.
00:22:52.600
So they're kind of reheated and that's going to hurt it.
00:23:05.440
I think you're going to be able to tell the difference maybe, but I would like to see
00:23:09.080
Well, I was going to say, I was going to say, I knew which one was beef just by looking
00:23:14.620
And then I looked at both of them and I, they look pretty similar.
00:23:24.500
I think B, just by the look of it, is the fake burger.
00:23:38.520
They got some, some good guys, Glenn's getting rid of the evil vegetables that have been placed
00:24:15.760
And this isn't fair because it tastes like a bad reheated burger.
00:24:21.480
I mean, Pop Daddy is a good place, but we did have to buy them.
00:24:24.040
I couldn't find a place that would, that made them for breakfast, sadly.
00:24:27.100
So we are, look, we haven't reached peak capitalism yet.
00:24:30.220
You know, when we, when we are in Texas and they won't, they won't make us.
00:24:39.180
The worst part about this too is I couldn't bring the queso fries.
00:25:03.380
A little bit, but it, you know, it tastes like a.
00:25:13.260
So it's not a knock on Hop Daddy's burgers, which are excellent by most tellings.
00:25:32.120
Probably the reason you wouldn't know the difference is that is the real burger.
00:25:45.500
I'm shocked that both of you went with the wrong burger.
00:25:58.200
I demand that plants taste like plants and animals taste like animals.
00:26:10.100
They taste, I mean, it's been years since I've had a hamburger because, you know, I, this
00:26:16.000
And, but like, I kind of, so I was wondering if.
00:26:26.380
And he said the same thing when he had an impossible burger, he didn't know it was.
00:26:56.680
They just said there's 9 million species total in the world.
00:27:08.460
It's interesting to me, though, that vegans want something that tastes like meat, because
00:27:12.860
I thought that was a point to get away from meat.
00:27:15.040
Well, I mean, I think there are various types of vegans.
00:27:18.260
Like, for example, our producer Marissa is a vegetarian.
00:27:21.060
She does not eat these, because she doesn't, it's not her desire.
00:27:25.600
It depends on why you're eating vegetarian, I guess.
00:27:40.940
It's something called hem, I think, or something that gives you the taste of meat.
00:27:46.840
Oh, as far as it's health, it's much healthier than a normal burger.
00:27:53.320
I am expecting my cows, because I have a ranch, cows.
00:28:01.420
I am expecting my cows to be taking their little hooves and pushing plates of this towards me.
00:28:09.980
Venture Capital is going into Impossible Burger.
00:28:14.640
You can't buy them in stores to hook them in your house yet.
00:28:18.060
They're at 7,000 restaurants right now across the country.
00:28:23.660
A lot of the big chains have started with them.
00:28:26.100
The Impossible Whopper is right around the corner.
00:28:28.060
7,300 Burger Kings are about to have it as well.
00:28:30.200
And they are going into grocery stores later this year.
00:28:33.720
If Glenn and I can't tell the difference, I think that is a wild endorsement.
00:28:54.520
I breed my cattle for a certain texture and taste.
00:29:25.520
This is the reason you do not force government regulation.
00:29:35.540
When you have something that is as good or better, I would gladly be a vegan.
00:29:44.020
I would gladly not raise animals to be slaughtered for hamburgers if that was out and prevalent.
00:29:58.980
You just have to come up with a product through the free market that is as good.
00:30:06.740
How often have we said that about wind and solar?
00:30:13.500
My house has been green from the get-go, my ranch.
00:30:18.280
We don't have any source of electricity other than what we make.
00:30:22.520
So when we started it, I still had to have a huge diesel generator for the house that would click on at night
00:30:30.840
because of the wind power and the solar would stop.
00:30:34.180
And so I would still have to run generators and I would use...
00:30:40.460
That thing, the last time I was up there because we put the new generation now of solar panels up
00:30:45.660
and the new generation of batteries and they're still not right.
00:31:05.980
Well, it's rich people who are buying this, the next generation and the next generation.
00:31:13.480
But to be able to get it to where it's going to be reasonable for everybody.
00:31:17.700
And once it's reasonable, everybody's going to have it.
00:31:29.380
I mean, these companies are trying to solve this problem without going through the government.
00:31:46.180
What's really, truly amazing is Pat and I both said leading up to this, it's impossible.
00:32:00.480
So there's two things in capitalism, two things that have happened today.
00:32:06.480
It'll probably be later in the show, but it's amazing.
00:32:08.880
How many times have you looked at a concept car and you went, oh man, they should build
00:32:17.320
And when you think of the interior of a concept car, it always looks like a jet or, you know,
00:32:23.220
something that you're like, whoa, I saw something today and I thought it was a concept car.
00:32:31.720
And then it said 2020 and I started doing my homework on it and it's made here in America and it is, I mean, it's, it's honestly something you would look at and go concept car.
00:32:50.480
And it's out next fall and made here in America.
00:32:59.840
So there's, there's, we are on the cusp of all of, all of man's wildest dreams and on the cusp of man's most terrific nightmares.
00:33:10.900
And the free market provides one and socialism will provide the other.
00:33:35.200
If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:33:38.440
And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:33:50.020
So good of you to grace us with your presence today.
00:33:53.540
You know, Beck, I look forward to this all week.
00:33:56.080
And one of the reasons is that someone has to get you and Stu on the right path.
00:34:04.000
And I think that I've been put on earth to do that.
00:34:17.260
Well, it's not really a battle because they're not fighting among each other.
00:34:29.040
There are Republicans who want to keep the White House and the Senate and then perhaps win back the House.
00:34:36.320
And the Democrats who will do anything at this point to get Trump out of office because they're not real sure they're going to defeat him in 2020.
00:34:47.060
So that's the most important takeaway of all of this, is that the Democratic power structure, this is the swamp in Washington, the big money people, Hollywood, the media moguls.
00:34:59.080
They're not so sure that they can take Trump because Biden is shaky.
00:35:07.640
I want to get into the Biden thing here in a second.
00:35:09.800
Let's stay on course here for just just just a second with the, you know, the holding bar in contempt, etc., etc.
00:35:19.340
The way I read this, Bill, and before we get into the weeds of of of of what they're actually doing and claiming the way I read this is this is a suicide note from the Democratic Party, because I don't know anyone on the on the Democratic side in real life that is saying anything but get over it.
00:35:44.800
Certainly that's the will of the people, and that's why I've made that analysis, that that the Democratic Party is basically gambling that they're going to final finally get something impeachable.
00:36:03.480
If they can get him into an impeachment situation, they know they're not going to convict the Senate.
00:36:08.400
We'll never do that unless there's really something we don't know.
00:36:11.880
So so the Democrats just want to be smirch where the day Trump and hoping that the American people will come around to their point of view that Trump doesn't deserve to be president.
00:36:27.640
thing and on the Mueller thing and on the redaction, it's all the same.
00:36:46.840
You put 15 lines in the water and hope you get a couple of bites.
00:36:52.380
Maybe they can get Don Jr. on perjury or maybe they can get Barr on perjury or maybe Mueller will say something embarrassing they can put on a soundbite.
00:37:03.440
But any fishermen people, the work of the people and any fishermen's family would say, Dad, stop it.
00:37:11.020
We've already gone through this area of the water with nets for two years.
00:37:26.740
But anyway, rather than getting angry and I know many Americans are angry on both sides.
00:37:34.360
You know, I'm just wrapping up the United States of Trump.
00:37:37.200
The anger and the hatred toward President Trump is just I don't think I've ever seen it in this country ever.
00:37:50.060
Do you have the quote of the heads on the pike?
00:37:51.980
Like, you have to you have to include this in your book, the heads on the pike and and your your children will be your daughters will be raped and your sons will have their heads on the pike.
00:38:06.920
But I think it's worse now because of the Internet and because social media and all that is it did no respite to it.
00:38:12.540
But I think Americans will basically start walking away from the coverage.
00:38:24.000
But I get the overnight ratings for cable every day.
00:38:28.140
They don't have one show now cracking a million viewers.
00:38:51.940
More people watch that than we're watching primetime CNN.
00:39:04.880
And even Donald Trump, when he gave his speech, Fox News carried the whole speech in Panama City.
00:39:20.740
All that, you know, people, you know, I had enough of this.
00:39:23.780
And that's why I say to people, don't get caught up in the bar and Don Jr.
00:39:30.360
And all it is, because it's not going to really mean anything unless something new comes out.
00:39:41.360
When you have 22 people in the field and all of these people that are are socialist and running right towards the the hardcore left.
00:39:51.100
Here comes Biden, who is, I don't think, a great candidate.
00:39:55.740
Nobody's chomping at the bit for Joe Biden that I know of.
00:39:58.680
And he throws in and he is anywhere from 21 points to 39 points ahead of the entire Democratic field.
00:40:07.100
To me, that says there is a thirst and a deep hunger on in the Democrats, in the in the voting base for anything other than these socialist kooks.
00:40:20.740
Well, first of all, the back audience should go to real clear politics dot com if they want to see the polling themselves.
00:40:29.340
Real clear politics dot com does an average of the polls because you can't believe one or the other polls or most of these polls don't know what they're doing.
00:40:38.980
Now, Vice President Biden is a formidable candidate.
00:40:43.780
And I don't think anybody should underestimate that because he's going to have the media in his pocket and he's going to have at least six or seven hundred million dollars to spend on his campaign.
00:40:57.780
So just the combination of the two make him don't dismiss him.
00:41:07.660
He's got all kinds of things going for him as far as organization.
00:41:12.460
He's got the entire Obama local organization in all the states at his disposal.
00:41:18.740
This guy, you know, it's not going to be well, Trump's going to romp over him.
00:41:25.860
But as far as his competition is concerned, there is none.
00:41:31.120
These these people who are running out, they're basically running to write books and to get lecture fees.
00:41:41.860
They all know they can't win, including Bernie Sanders, who doesn't even look like he wants to win anymore.
00:41:55.580
Now, it's possible, I guess, that one of them might capture Iowa, some votes there, some votes in New Hampshire, because in the early voting, the extremists dominate, particularly in Iowa caucus.
00:42:11.220
But in the long run, is nobody going to beat Biden?
00:42:13.780
And I said this six months ago and living up to my name.
00:42:26.440
OK, so any astute political observer knows that the field the Democrats have put out is not going to beat Biden unless Biden collapses.
00:42:43.540
You know, he's 76 years old or anything could happen, but it's Biden's to lose.
00:42:52.240
Now, I'm always I always have that Michelle Obama thing in the back of my mind.
00:43:02.260
So she would step in, I think, if Biden implodes.
00:43:06.100
If like a scandal brought him down, like in between the convention and the election, maybe something really drastic, you know, something like that.
00:43:16.640
So when we when we come back, I want to stop one more place with Joe Biden.
00:43:21.240
And that is China and Ukraine, things that the the the left is completely dismissing.
00:43:28.780
But it is a gigantic scandal that makes him Hillary Clinton part due with with graft and scandal and dirty money.
00:43:44.900
I I I've wanted to do this for a long time and I've talked about doing it for a long time.
00:43:50.160
And and finally, we've just pulled the trigger on it.
00:43:56.500
And people are, you know, they'll go on vacation and you'll take your kids to Disney and you'll spend a fortune.
00:44:04.060
And what you'll do is you'll come back with a bunch of crap and you'll kind of be pissed off and and it will be a good memory and everything else.
00:44:11.800
But you really haven't really done anything where you're strengthening your family, per se.
00:44:17.160
So what we've done is we're going to do a cruise through history and we're inviting you to take your family, take your kids or your grandkids or just come as a couple.
00:44:28.280
We are going to we're going to begin our journey in Venice.
00:44:35.340
You're going to learn the history of the Renaissance.
00:44:39.840
You're going to learn the history of the Republic as we stop in Athens.
00:44:44.720
We're going to go to Croatia and then we are stopping.
00:44:48.640
Our final stop will be in Israel and Bill O'Reilly will be joining me as well as Rabbi Daniel Lapin.
00:44:57.840
There's nothing like learning about Israel and the roots of our of our religion with Daniel Lapin.
00:45:06.300
Stu will be there and I will be on the cruise the whole time.
00:45:15.720
And Bill is you're joining us in Israel, are you not, Bill?
00:45:19.660
I think I'm going to I'm going to hop on board in Dubrovnik in Croatia.
00:45:28.400
I mean, it's an amazing itinerary that you've laid out.
00:45:31.920
Now, I had to ask for a cabin away from Beck because he gets seasick.
00:45:46.720
And we're going to do a couple of events and it should be a lot of fun.
00:45:51.200
And we're going to be we're going to be at Caesarea.
00:45:57.240
But do you remember the first night event we did where where Paul was actually brought to to justice, if you will?
00:46:06.060
And that is the same place we're going to be doing it.
00:46:10.200
We're going to be doing an event there as well.
00:46:12.920
So we want you to find out all about it and and join us on this cruise.
00:46:17.220
Again, it happens next spring and you can find out all of the information at comesailaway.com, comesailaway.com and join us for a cruise through history, one where everyone will have a blast, see incredible things, but also learn about the republic and our faith and our freedom.
00:46:57.220
Uh, Dan Andros, a guy who started with me in 2000.
00:47:06.160
We remember we were all together for the big Y2K switch scare.
00:47:10.660
We were all wondering if we were going to explode.
00:47:15.520
That was when planes fell out of the sky and the world basically ended.
00:47:24.520
If you, uh, if you'd like to get some, uh, I don't know, some, some, uh, news about faith with an anchor.
00:47:33.460
And you guys are going to be working on a, um, I mean, you went to Israel last year.
00:47:37.360
Uh, we have the big special next week coming out, uh, with your visit, uh, with Jason Buttrell from this, uh, staff as well for the, uh, moving of the embassy.
00:47:47.420
Turned into something, Dan, that you thought that, I mean, it turned into something entirely different.
00:47:51.480
Yeah, I mean, we were there to mark that occasion where, you know, every president pretty much for as far back as we can remember in modern history was promising to do this.
00:48:01.720
He, he got it done and he actually had the courage to do it.
00:48:04.420
And, um, we got to witness firsthand sort of the, how the media concocts a narrative on, on Israel.
00:48:13.880
It was, it was, Hey, Israel with has shot back at Gaza and they, you know, that's when they pick up the story.
00:48:21.460
It's not the hundreds of rockets that just got shot randomly into those Southern, uh, cities in Israel before that.
00:48:28.920
So, um, that's why you're in, uh, in town, but there's something else that you guys are covering today.
00:48:36.540
And that's a big, uh, pro-life rally in Philadelphia.
00:48:43.940
Um, I haven't looked at, we have a live feed going in.
00:48:46.180
Um, I've been taping our special, so I haven't actually seen the crowds, but, uh, from the reports, it looks like there's a lot of people there.
00:48:52.280
Um, Matt Walsh had actually been the first to tweet it out because if, if, did you guys see the story of Brian Sims,
00:48:58.160
a democratic rep, uh, from Pennsylvania who went on tape and you know what it reminded me of?
00:49:03.720
He was berating a pro-lifer out there, an elderly woman who was just out there alone.
00:49:08.000
And she was out there praying for the, you know, butchery that was going inside Planned Parenthood,
00:49:17.420
And that was in a separate video and he was trying to dox them.
00:49:19.800
He was asking a hundred people, a hundred dollars he'd give them.
00:49:23.100
If someone knew these people's names and addresses and would give them out.
00:49:28.820
And this is an elected, this is an elected official.
00:49:34.900
And so Matt Walsh tweeted it out and said, Hey, we should go and go to this place.
00:49:38.840
And, um, and so that's what's happening there today.
00:49:41.480
And we're live streaming it, uh, on faithwire.com.
00:49:46.280
Um, uh, Abby, Abby Johnson from the movie Implanned is her story.
00:49:52.540
I mean, it's, it's turned into a big thing and thank God that, that there's still people
00:49:56.400
out there reacting to which a video, which was blatant harassment of elderly people and
00:50:02.620
teenagers who are praying, uh, imagine it's just so far you were, you, you as an adult
00:50:13.800
If you can identify these people and tell me where they live for what purpose, for what
00:50:20.540
Well, and it's against the exact same, he was sitting there saying, they're shaming
00:50:25.880
And it's like that, no, that's what you're doing.
00:50:27.760
What, what a woman like that was doing and what those kids were doing every, I mean, I've
00:50:32.000
watched countless hours of these, uh, protesters, these Christians that are out in front of Planned
00:50:41.040
And not once have I seen them out there being brutal and shaming them and yelling at them.
00:50:48.420
They want to save the lives of these children that are going in there.
00:50:51.540
I have seen, I've seen, I've seen people shaming, baby killer, things like that.
00:51:01.780
Um, now people are just much cooler about it and they really are.
00:51:08.200
You're, you're not going to change anyone's heart by calling them a baby killer.
00:51:12.300
And, and, and could it, could it be possible that, because I, I, I, now that you mentioned
00:51:17.620
it, I can remember seeing some of those clips back in the day too.
00:51:20.140
Is it possible that that's just what the media chose to show us?
00:51:23.260
But they chose to show us that instead of, I mean, we had a report on a guy who has stood
00:51:27.620
out in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Orlando for, I think almost a decade now.
00:51:32.260
And they've credited over 2000 babies saved because of this guy.
00:51:37.200
And all he does is go out there and preach the gospel to these, to these women going in,
00:51:40.380
you know, Hey, God doesn't want you to do this.
00:51:46.800
Cause usually it is a tough, it's a tough decision, right?
00:51:50.140
If you've decided you're going to go abort your child, it's a big decision in your life.
00:51:53.920
The best perspective on this, I thought was Abby Johnson, when she was in here talking
00:51:57.420
to us and she said, cause in the movie, if you, if you, if you haven't seen Unplanned
00:52:01.720
or anyone who hasn't seen it, there's a scene right at the beginning where there are some
00:52:05.100
of these protesters and one guy's dressed as a grim reaper and he's screaming at the
00:52:09.960
And, uh, and you could say, well, I would, cause I'm, I'm sure I'm on the same side of the
00:52:18.480
And she mentioned it, I thought it was really interesting because she was a Planned Parenthood
00:52:21.720
clinic director and she was on the other side of it.
00:52:23.600
And she said, what that dynamic creates is a place where the woman or the clinic worker
00:52:31.100
And she, the woman who is making this decision feels that, that the Planned Parenthood worker
00:52:41.120
So in that moment, the person who's helping, uh, her is actually the Planned Parenthood worker
00:52:47.720
who's protecting her from these crazy people outside the walls.
00:52:50.680
And that's, it actually causes people to go in more often.
00:52:53.900
It's like looking at Mengele when you got off the train as he's the guy who's going to help
00:53:00.320
He's going to do medical things to you that you're not going to like.
00:53:03.420
You know, and, and if you, I am convinced, I mean, if, if you are not convinced that what
00:53:09.440
we are witnessing is not a political battle as far as abortion goes, but it is a battle
00:53:15.180
of between good and evil and between against the, the, the, the, almost everything is now
00:53:23.620
Do you remember the video of the guy, the, the abortion doctor a couple of years ago,
00:53:28.420
and he was growling at the guy with the camera out there and it was like, there was
00:53:34.080
I'm just convinced now that, that he wasn't, he wasn't joking around or trying to be funny.
00:53:41.080
And I just don't know how you can boil down this issue to anything else.
00:53:45.340
When the science keeps, the more we have technology, the more we see, we can detect the
00:53:51.360
That's what the Georgia bill was, was just passed.
00:53:54.400
And we're not even, we're, we're not, we're not even arguing what we used to argue.
00:53:59.000
We used to argue with compassion and it was, well, you want to be honest,
00:54:04.560
And so they would trap you in this little pocket of, of compassion where most people
00:54:09.900
are like, no, I don't want to even think about this.
00:54:22.300
I mean, the, the audio, uh, when was it from CNN?
00:54:28.360
Where, where the woman said to, to, uh, Rick Santorum, that's not a baby inside of her.
00:54:37.320
Is there anyone who actually, then why do we have baby showers?
00:54:46.100
And by the way, fetus, they're like, oh, that's a fetus in there.
00:54:55.680
It's not some magical scientific word that means clump of cells.
00:55:00.200
And I was, I was, uh, I was talking to a pro choice, uh, guy the other day and we're
00:55:04.140
Like we would say, I think I'll hear that, you know, conception is the line and we're now
00:55:08.000
talking about, no, it's passing the birth canal and maybe beyond that is the line.
00:55:12.900
And, you know, I think there used to be a position where it was, maybe it was viability,
00:55:17.760
Like the baby can live on its own, which is around, you know, 22, 23, 24 weeks, or if
00:55:22.140
it's a cognitive ability and there are all these different lines that we used to talk
00:55:26.700
And you think about those things, it like, you know, they talk about cognitive ability
00:55:30.700
might be around 12 weeks where that starts to begin.
00:55:33.440
And it's like, that is a conservative dream right now.
00:55:36.860
Like these people who think of themselves as pro choice are advocating positions that
00:55:41.240
are way to the right to where we are from where we are.
00:55:46.840
These are, I mean, Republicans have problems getting 20 week bans passed, let alone 12
00:55:53.960
These are people who are telling me they are pro choice and saying, well, not after the
00:56:01.280
Let's go back to that Roe versus Wade standard because it's quaint compared to where we are
00:56:05.960
We're talking about, we have on this board to my left is, is in five categories is our
00:56:12.500
22 different candidates running for the democratic nomination.
00:56:16.740
They can't find one of them to say that abortion five minutes before birth is wrong.
00:56:28.320
Think of the lack of moral courage you have to have or not have to, to not be able to
00:56:35.420
And, and I'm looking for one, I would love to just have one.
00:56:38.500
Where is the Democrat who is willing to buck that platform right now?
00:56:43.380
Because they are obviously afraid of that content that, you know, that constituency that just
00:56:50.760
So let me just give you, let me just give you some headphones, headlines.
00:56:53.800
If you don't think that we are in a battle of, of just the biggest change, just leave it at
00:57:05.080
that good and evil, or just the biggest change a culture maybe has ever seen.
00:57:14.940
College faculty chair compares Chick-fil-A to pornography as the academic Senate
00:57:23.200
