00:03:15.120
that is when we all gather around the old set and we watch the state of the union oh oh the fun times
00:03:24.200
and fun memories that brings back every year i hate that it's one of the worst things ever we it's a
00:03:31.120
it's nothing but a really lousy show it's state-run television that's what that is that's what it feels
00:03:39.080
like it is it is and you know it's like you know it's it's uh like uh you know america's got talent
00:03:45.380
or something like that where you know the outcome you know these judges are gonna hate it and these
00:03:51.160
judges are gonna love it every time it's a giant show and i feel like it's completely inconsistent with
00:03:57.200
the the foundations of our country like we don't revere leaders like this we don't we don't it's not
00:04:04.280
pomp and circumstance here and like i this is the perfect time for trump to just say you know what
00:04:09.620
you're right it's back to a letter i love that i would love for him to do that the constitution says
00:04:14.460
that the president i think it even says from time to time time or occasion yeah it's like yeah i think
00:04:19.780
it's not even supposed to be like every january you gotta do this it's from time to time the president
00:04:24.800
needs to inform the congress the state of the union it needs to say hey things kind of suck over here
00:04:30.840
and a pretty good over there it's always been a letter i think until either wilson or fdr of course
00:04:37.000
i think there was maybe one or two exceptions to that it's an interesting history actually um but
00:04:41.620
they it was never supposed to be it's it was never supposed to be look the believe me it was never
00:04:49.300
supposed to be like this it was supposed to be a basically an actual report of what the hell was
00:04:53.440
going on in the country correct that's it and here's a couple ideas of how i think we could fix it
00:04:57.620
right so it's turned into this giant show and now nancy pelosi as a punishment this is how out
00:05:03.940
of touch they are as a punishment for shutting down the government says you know what maybe we
00:05:10.160
won't invite you to give a state of the union okay all right please he doesn't need a state of
00:05:17.780
the union the guy tweets and all you do is talk about it for six weeks yeah i mean we we got it we
00:05:22.260
got it oh boohoo now this again hurts us because we've done a lot of planning we've got a really
00:05:31.180
good state of the union uh broadcast with all hands on deck at the blaze eric bowling is in washington
00:05:37.980
with all of the experts we're going to be based here checking in with all of the blaze staff yeah but
00:05:44.040
bad for us good for the country yeah i'm happy great for the country great for the country now the
00:05:50.320
other side of this i'm so i'm can you hear it in my voice i'm kind of excited that this might not
00:05:55.620
happen you know that the president's not going to give up and give that boring speech every year that
00:06:01.240
every president gives and we all hate and i've you've paid me you've paid me for 40 years for 40 years
00:06:10.700
i have been paid to watch that damn speech i've watched all of them for 40 years i hate them
00:06:19.920
i hate them you're still paying me to watch it and it's like you this year you know what glenn you
00:06:27.500
don't have to watch it oh please thank you so part of it's good for me part of it's bad for me but
00:06:36.020
great for america people say we don't give democrats credit when they have good ideas well here's one
00:06:42.700
nancy yes i love this idea wonderful idea this is their punishment i love this okay so if if you
00:06:51.720
decide to do it mr president um uh you should encourage them not to show up
00:07:00.440
now i don't know exactly how the constitution works to where if the president says i'm gonna do it you
00:07:09.700
don't have to show up i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do my constitutional duty i think it would be even
00:07:15.440
more fun if they didn't show up it's doing it in empty or that would be very it might the optics of
00:07:22.080
that might feel a little weird like doing it just for the gop yeah who do you think wins right yeah
00:07:27.620
for the gop they'd all do you think we're showing up to do our we're showing up to do our job i just
00:07:34.340
said the speech in the empty room is what i was picturing but you're right if the gop shows up
00:07:37.500
they're gonna be clapping for everything oh my gosh can you imagine if if if donald trump if
00:07:43.020
donald trump had ronald reagan's skill no president has had ronald reagan's skill but if donald trump
00:07:50.000
had ronald reagan's skill in an empty chamber just to walk in and himself go uh uh mr speaker
00:08:01.040
the president of the united states and then they open up the doors and it's just him and he's just
00:08:08.000
walking down he's got a lapel microphone and he just starts talking to the american people as he's
00:08:12.940
walking down that aisle and just says look the government is closed because we can't do we can't
00:08:20.860
do uh we can't get our act together on the border we can't do things that will protect you so
00:08:27.500
nobody showed up but you know what this is supposed to be a letter anyway to the to uh to congress so i
00:08:36.380
wrote them a letter i don't know if they're ever going to read it because they don't really read
00:08:39.780
stuff around here i don't know if you've noticed that but i just wanted to sit and talk to you for
00:08:45.180
a minute and then don't go behind that podium just sit in one of the chairs that they normally sit in
00:08:51.800
just don't don't sit with the american flag or just kind of prop yourself up next to that podium
00:08:57.480
and just say so listen i'm gonna only keep you for five minutes this one has to happen that would
00:09:05.520
be epic and then the five minutes should be about term limits all these people who didn't even bother
00:09:12.340
to show up to do their jobs today all of them should be out get them out of here they can't sit
00:09:17.660
here and we're not gonna pay for the next hundred years like they easily want in fact don't even talk
00:09:22.080
about the border don't talk about anything yeah just say look i'm only going to keep you for five
00:09:26.800
minutes we can't get some common sense stuff down that you know and and honestly your neighbors who
00:09:33.000
are democrats they know it too and they're sick of this and i've seen the polling there should be
00:09:39.640
term limits there's term limits on me on the president because nobody should have that much power for that
00:09:44.440
long these people some of these people have been here since 1973 now ted cruz has put together a
00:09:50.780
deal and with your help with your help if i said this in front of them you know half the room would
00:09:57.100
stand up and applaud the other half would uh would sit stoic and if the last president would have
00:10:03.620
proposed what i'm proposing they would have switched sides but you want you know one thing it wouldn't
00:10:09.260
happen it wouldn't happen because it's a restriction on them so i'm just asking you let's get this done
00:10:17.780
yeah it's among the most popular thing that is in public opinion i mean it's something like 83 percent
00:10:26.200
of people agree with term limits for congress uh you know it's 80 it's it is more popular among
00:10:31.980
republicans by a decent margin than the border wall is that's how popular term limits are and you're
00:10:37.760
also getting in the mid 70s of democrats who agree with it talking about getting people who could
00:10:43.340
you know and i think cruises is worded i believe three terms in congress and two terms in the senate
00:10:48.500
and then you're done that's enough that's you're there for it that's already 18 years yeah and you
00:10:53.680
could still run for president afterwards yeah and there's plenty of opportunity i don't even think
00:10:57.960
it should be that long for that 18 years i mean he's he's i think being pragmatic here and saying you
00:11:03.960
know if you make it too short no one's gonna vote for it but still 18 years is plenty of time for you
00:11:08.920
to be in the government i mean your working life is from 20 to say eight you know 70 i'm sorry you're
00:11:14.340
talking about 20 to 60 this is talking about your half your working life this is one problem we do have
00:11:19.980
with the constitution and that is the constitution was not written for a congress that was seated year
00:11:26.620
round the constitution was written for a congress that showed up in the summer and did a couple months
00:11:31.060
of work and then left and went and did real jobs and did real jobs yes okay um they should not have
00:11:37.520
the power over their own salary and over their own jobs i mean look the president you think the
00:11:43.420
president would have ever said yeah you know what term limits on me right there needed to be someone
00:11:48.860
who enforced on the outside right right why are we expecting these people who who would say you know
00:11:55.760
what i know i i'm here and i'm doing a great job right now and inside you know i'm really not doing
00:12:02.460
a great job right now uh but you say to your boss i'm doing a great job right now but you know what
00:12:07.800
in 10 years you should fire me no one would say that and you know every time you bring up term limits
00:12:15.420
there's somebody who says well you know they the problem is that lobbyists will be in control
00:12:20.940
have you watched washington lately what do you think's happening now these people are have made
00:12:25.460
40-year relationships with lobbyists who are writing the bills for them at least it would be new people
00:12:31.400
they had to convince again this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:12:39.480
the toxic femininity problem in america is it actually an issue by the way if you're hearing
00:12:52.940
hammering in saws it's actually four stories above me uh we've had to uh replace the roof of our studio
00:13:01.200
complex and it's it's a massive complex it's going to take us about 90 days and uh uh and so
00:13:09.460
you will hear things in the background unfortunately i apologize for this it's not jeffy having a
00:13:15.440
moment yeah i know last night we were doing uh one of the shows and it sounded like we had piled a
00:13:20.600
bunch of you know lactose intolerant elephants up on the roof uh but anyway um toxic femininity
00:13:28.760
there is a there's an article on medium that talks about from a woman who says if i got a group of my
00:13:38.180
friends together and they they all talked about uh the truth they would all answer yes to most if not
00:13:46.980
all of these questions i find this hard to believe but we have now we have 12 people on the phone
00:13:53.540
they're from the ages of 35 to 70 it may be different below 35 but we'll see um this group is
00:14:03.440

00:15:32.160
something and blamed it on your period you or someone who is firsthand knowledge very close
00:15:38.640

yes okay so nine of 11 on that nine of 11 here's question number two have you or anyone you have
00:16:28.100
personal knowledge of in your personal knowledge of in your circle of friends i ever acted helpless
00:16:31.340
in the face of an unpleasant if not physically demanding task like dealing with a wild animal that's
00:16:39.000
number one says i think no i'm losing number one number two yes three you bet
00:16:55.660

not me but somebody else ten i'm going to stretch here uh number 11 yes okay uh we are talking to 11
00:17:28.240
women age 35 to 70 asking them questions about toxic femininity question three okay they're gonna get a
00:17:36.300
little bit uh a little bit harder here a little dicey um have you have you you or anyone in your
00:17:41.700
circle of friends coerced a man into sex even though he didn't really seem to want it
00:17:47.280
number one i think we've lost i think we've lost number one number two no way number three
00:18:11.440
seven seven not that i recall number eight no way nine
00:18:20.580
not yet but i'm newly single so i'm on the bubble on this one
00:18:37.560
all right well again you can blame this on your awful friends it's totally fine yeah you don't have
00:18:43.240
to admit to it yourself right that's all right okay uh next one uh have you or anyone in your
00:18:50.340
circle of friends over your life uh thought you were at liberty to do some sort of uh coercing
00:18:55.500
because men always wanted and should feel lucky anytime they get it no that's number one
00:19:07.760
come on absolutely absolutely absolutely hands down
00:19:14.100
i mean i've got to we have to have another conversation with number three we need to set
00:19:19.900
up a podcast number four i don't understand the question could you yes go ahead so uh the uh if you
00:19:28.600
then a lot of this goes back to the coursing if you don't know anyone who's ever coerced someone
00:19:32.020
or you know plot you kind of prodded them into sex even though you weren't sure they were
00:19:36.160
necessarily that much into it did you justify that as uh you know men always wanted and they
00:19:43.060
yes okay number five no six yes seven yes eight seven and four seven and three should never get
00:19:58.300
together uh they'd be driving off a cliff at the end of that movie
00:20:07.040
yeah and you you are an instigator as well uh number 10
00:20:24.660
no no i mean i can't i mean i could see it occasionally what was the score on that was
00:20:29.700
six out of the 11 said yes to that six out of the 11 um okay uh next up have you or you can
00:20:36.280
absolutely blame someone else in your circle of friends if you've ever uh threatened to harm
00:20:40.340
yourself if a brand a man breaks up with you or doesn't want to see you anymore do you remember
00:20:44.660

00:21:30.080
no no man's that important good for you actually skip 10 oh did i skip 10 number 10
00:21:37.000
i've known a couple people yes yeah okay let's see what happened to 12
00:21:41.760
oh do we have 12 you said you did oh well we only have 11 i'm looking up and i thought we had 12 but
00:21:49.240
we only have 11 okay next what now these are going to get uh they can they can be these can
00:21:53.600
be harsh again think about back in your life the friends that you've had maybe made
00:21:57.760
questionable choices i know we've all had these friends but this is we're going to get a little
00:22:01.580
tough here um any of these people that you've known in your life been physically abusive with a
00:22:06.280
male partner knowing you'd be unlikely to face any legal consequences
00:22:09.860
wow oh never okay there's number one number two no three yes
00:22:18.360
well i won't ask that's not you you're not your role here is that i know i know i know number four
00:22:25.340
no five no never six just pushing them down the stairs count yes it does six uh seven
00:22:37.740
i do know one person yes uh eight i know one person saw the evidence after it was over yes

was number nine nine number ten number nine what did you say number ten i know we're anonymous but
00:23:03.500
it was not me but i do know someone okay number eleven yes wow wow that was a lot higher than i
00:23:12.120
expected uh okay two more guys and you're doing a great job uh blaming all your friends for everything
00:23:16.600
i know uh okay have you or anyone in your circle of friends uh lied about being on birth control or
00:23:23.020
faked a pregnancy scare to see how a man would respond absolutely not okay number two absolutely not
00:23:32.740
three never four no five yes okay six nobody has friends because i this is what i feel is common
00:23:45.760
yeah i know somebody who's done this i would have said this one was 15 out of 11 yeah me too uh
00:23:51.300
where are we at number six yeah i had a friend that did that one uh number seven
00:23:55.580
no eight no way nine good lord no 10 quite a few actually yeah 11 yes i mean i thought that would
00:24:11.460
be a lot higher yeah this is so common it even happened on the documentary the office uh it wasn't
00:24:16.440
a documentary and then finally uh okay this is again you or your circle of friends uh has any of
00:24:23.480
have every of them ever manipulated a divorce or a child custody dispute in your favor or in their
00:24:28.720
favor uh by falsely insinuating that a man had been abusive to you or your child again your circle
00:24:34.940
of friends would count in this as well after 41 years no way you have good friends uh number two no
00:24:42.420
three not for me and truly not for anybody i know four
00:24:48.580
i say no but i bet the liberals will answer these questions much differently than us uh yeah
00:24:56.000
you know i was i was just thinking that i think with a younger group it may be different with those
00:25:03.780
under 35 uh and also i think with uh with a a group of different you know set of values uh okay so
00:25:13.660
what number we were at number five i think yeah number five uh yes but it was reverse it was a man
00:25:19.340
who was doing it to the woman okay that doesn't count okay uh number six no no number seven
00:25:27.400
no eight no and if they did they would no longer be my friend good for you good for you nine
00:25:37.060
i i echo her sentiments exactly so no thanks dear 10 you're welcome yep ditto uh and 11
00:25:47.380
yes so can i ask just 11 was yes yes sadly she said um can i ask um do you believe that toxic
00:25:57.360
femininity exists ladies you can just yes yeah absolutely
00:26:03.080
all right all right all right ladies it was a yes or no question this isn't a party line
00:26:15.420
please define for me what is toxic femininity i think that i think the things the things that
00:26:25.740
they're saying about toxic masculinity that there are guys that are jerks and will use
00:26:32.540
they're self-centered they'll do whatever they want to get what they want i think that is not a
00:26:38.600
male problem it's like racism it's a human problem yeah i agree absolutely over the age of 40
00:26:46.120
full sentences will not work in this format we got a break but thank you that was great ladies hang on
00:26:52.920
the phone i want to send each of you give the producer your name i want to send each of you an
00:26:56.980
autographed uh copy of my new book uh but thank you for being on
00:27:00.640
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:27:06.940
like listening to this podcast if you're not a subscriber become one now on itunes
00:27:16.140
but while you're there do us a favor and rate the show steve dace has put out a new book called truth
00:27:21.720
which uh steve the reaction to truth bombs do people want the truth
00:27:30.260
yes and no i i think where we're at now um you know with with trump listening to conservative media
00:27:40.580
and going back to his original pledge not to sign another continuing resolution enforcing this
00:27:47.220
confrontation and watching how the republican party never wanted this confrontation in mass
00:27:52.660
whatsoever yes i think the timing of that is almost serendipitous to providential because i think
00:27:59.640
there's a new audience for the message of this book glenn that probably wouldn't have existed even six
00:28:04.680
months ago yeah i think that um while there's lots of things that donald trump has done that we
00:28:10.580
like we never really got to the root of the problem that the republican party they didn't want to
00:28:16.360
they none of them wanted to get rid of obamacare none of them really wanted to do anything about
00:28:21.560
the border it's just a game that they continue to play with us over and over and over again
00:28:26.760
and they usually have no spine but because donald trump listens to the people i think um he has stood
00:28:35.100
strong on this and knew i'm toast if i don't and i think it's opening up a whole new world
00:28:40.680
when i wrote this book i you know i i did it i wanted to minimize trump's role in this in this
00:28:47.960
drama intentionally because i don't i don't think the cake has changed you know i say this on my
00:28:52.820
daily show on the blaze all the time the cake is still the same we just have this zany new frosting
00:28:57.640
on top of it called trump right the same political cake that it's always been and and so i spent one
00:29:02.840
chapter in the book i go into all of my history with trump how he tried to woo me to support him
00:29:07.220
early in his presidential run and i did that on purpose because one of the major themes in this
00:29:11.760
book is trump is neither the problem nor the solution he is the symptom the frankenstein's
00:29:18.080
monster doesn't create itself if trump is everything his detractors claim he is he can only be in the
00:29:25.260
position he is in right now if the system is everything guys like you and i were saying it was
00:29:30.760
before trump ever came down that escalator he exploited what the system has become to his own
00:29:37.500
advantage and he speaks for a base of people you know for most of his adult and in public life
00:29:42.960
trump has been one of the fair-haired set and and now he's watched as they've turned on him they did
00:29:49.060
the jay-z's the lebrons the snoop dogs the people that couldn't wait to get their picture taken with
00:29:54.180
him before the minute he put an r after his name and spoke directly to the values of mainstream america
00:29:59.740
and whether he did it because he believed it or political opportunism or a little bit of both
00:30:04.140
it didn't matter once he provided a platform to mainstream america suddenly all these people
00:30:10.140
turned on him because it isn't about trump it's about the hatred for the base of everyday americans
00:30:15.660
that he represents and and the only in my 10 plus years of working full-time in political activism
00:30:20.920
on campaigns from president to school board i've learned one truth among many that stands above the
00:30:27.160
rest and that's this the only political party in america that hates everyday americans conservatives
00:30:33.280
orthodox religious believers more than the democrats are the republicans
00:30:37.840
what makes you say that look at the way they behave and in this book i knew people were going to ask
00:30:47.540
questions when i made statements like that so there's 10 pages of footnotes in this book there's
00:30:52.040
over 140 footnotes in this book uh to borrow a biblical phrase so that no one is with no one is
00:30:58.160
without or no one has an excuse okay so the reality is look at the way they behave in fact let's just go
00:31:04.100
to the i could point out primaries how they always come out harder after us than they do democrats
00:31:08.740
but let's just look at what mit romney did the day he arrived in washington as a would-be senator
00:31:13.860
before he was sworn in so so this is a guy that goes to work every day in the senate and and and
00:31:19.780
surrounding him are people who think it's a great idea and enlightened to take a pair of forceps
00:31:24.740
shove them up a woman's uterus uh essentially attach them to the skull of her child penetrate it
00:31:31.420
smash it so they then can vacuum out the baby's brains and the rest of its parts limb by limb
00:31:36.680
and and now his his concern uh is is trump's he has nothing to say all those problems that all those
00:31:43.700
people represent uh he's silent but now trump's problems are the ones that he needs to address
00:31:49.220
immediately in the pages of the washington post trump's moral problems are well documented but
00:31:55.400
the reality is trump's moral problems right now aren't getting in the way of you and me earning
00:32:00.200
a paycheck or living in a society that is worthy of passing on to our children people that want to
00:32:05.720
suck the brains out of little babies their lack of integrity and their moral problems they're the
00:32:10.240
ones getting in the way of that and so here we see mit romney in the last two weeks has gone harder
00:32:15.300
after donald trump than he did the entire final six months of the general election campaign go after
00:32:20.720
barack obama and we have seen this pattern over and over again because democrats inspire their base
00:32:26.840
to get what they want glenn republicans conspire against their base to get what they want the
00:32:32.200
republicans want to beat democrats in elections just not for the same reasons we want to beat them
00:32:37.000
and in the end if the choice is losing the democrats or losing control of the republican party
00:32:41.760
they will choose losing the democrats and i'll make one final point on this look at the never trump
00:32:46.480
thing that you and i were originally part of so most guys like you me shapiro erickson there was a
00:32:52.140
group of us who like this guy's moral problems are way too high to gamble that he'll provide any
00:32:57.940
conservative return on investment whatsoever it's not worth risking the capital well what we're finding
00:33:03.280
out now that trump has actually moved more to the right than we ever thought as president
00:33:06.780
look at the bill crystals look at the people that populate cnn and msnbc and what you're going to
00:33:12.000
find is with their complaints about trump's boorish behavior were a camouflage a cover most of our old
00:33:18.580
never trump movement were people that were actually never conservative
00:33:21.500
i would agree with you um on that wholeheartedly and you know um because those people will not say
00:33:32.400
anything good about him if look my concerns and i said this on the air my concern was i don't think
00:33:39.560
he's going to do any of these things because he's never shown a willingness to stand up to those kinds
00:33:46.140
of things and stand up and fight for him that's not who he's ever been but he is listening he is i will
00:33:53.500
tell you this i think this president um it might be the biggest servant president we have had
00:34:03.900
in in the last 20 years perhaps maybe george bush but what i mean is and no i can't even say george bush
00:34:12.140
listening listening to the people who voted for him i don't think he wanted to shut down the government
00:34:20.360
i don't think he wanted to do all of this that wasn't his first instinct but he saw the writing
00:34:25.520
on the wall and he realized that's not that's what they put me in for okay i'm gonna stand and you know
00:34:32.960
the people are telling him every day you're losing your shirt i don't think he is i think he's actually
00:34:38.060
i think he's actually winning because no one has ever stood with the people against the system
00:34:47.980
i agree with that and you know i've said this before let me say it again and since reagan left
00:34:56.660
the national stage and reagan left the national stage in january of 1989 i was not yet legal to
00:35:03.420
get a driver's license and i have a senior in high school oldest child right now and so we're still
00:35:08.240
talking about reagan and that's a generation before even al gore invented the internet to tell you
00:35:13.720
and i bring that up to point out that what you and i are talking about is true because i would
00:35:18.080
argue since reagan left the national stage for all his faults and i don't hide from any of trump's
00:35:23.140
faults i don't know what in the same hill rudy giuliani was doing on cnn last night i don't know
00:35:27.400
what that was okay i don't know why he hired guys like paul monafort who were complete uh you know
00:35:33.380
putin clowns i don't know the answers to those questions but here's what i do know the only republican
00:35:38.300
in a leadership position in the last 25 years that has even been the slightest sensitive to sympathetic
00:35:45.200
to the core concerns of the average republican base voter is donald trump not the two bushes that
00:35:51.660
were president not mckin not mick romney uh you know the previous two presidential nominees not
00:35:57.600
mcconnell not mccarthy not scalise not paul all we did with paul reiner and john boehner glenn we
00:36:03.280
traded a chain smoker for a crossfitter but we got everything else so he's the only guy that cares
00:36:09.160
what we think for all and this is why if you're wondering why are people so loyal to him there is
00:36:14.380
a political cult aspect to it and all politicians have it and i've talked about that too but a lot
00:36:19.240
of it is as we just saw before christmas if rush limbaugh goes on the air and and and trashes
00:36:25.360
kevin mccarthy he's not doing a dang thing he did it to he did it to donald trump and dude and dude
00:36:30.960
said you know what we're gonna have to reverse course here he's the only one who cares what we
00:36:34.480
think glenn he's the only one i i agree with you steve i actually agree with you i don't think
00:36:40.280
donald trump is is the leader in the traditional sense but i don't think that necessarily that's what
00:36:47.480
america wants anymore right now they want someone who will listen to them because i think the common
00:36:55.420
sense of the average person is better than any leader that i have found and uh for all of his
00:37:01.780
faults he is listening to his his people and to america and i i think that with all of his faults
00:37:10.860
that's exactly what we may need at this time to be able to save the republic let's go over uh i i think
00:37:19.280
your book is really important because we have to prepare ourselves for 2020 and 2024
00:37:24.960
um and i think these parties are imploding but people will say i've and you cover this in your
00:37:33.840
book you gotta vote for the the republican you know it's too hard for a third party and you take
00:37:39.980
those things apart start with a third party the number one reason we don't have a third party
00:37:47.160
and there's other reasons i didn't say it was the only one but the number one reason we don't
00:37:51.220
is there's just too much damn money to be made shilling and pimping the republican party that's why
00:37:55.760
uh and that's just the reality careers get made um uh food gets put on the table uh there are whole
00:38:02.900
people that um what's this is i'm thinking of uh is it manu rajay i believe is his name he's
00:38:09.500
essentially mitch mcconnell's stenographer and he essentially walks into mitch mcconnell's office
00:38:13.820
he tells him what to write what to say what today's lead is from gop senate leadership and
00:38:18.040
that's a quote-unquote story and this goes on and we have too many conservative blogs that are
00:38:23.380
essentially uh facsimiles and stenographers for certain donor blocks of the republican party or
00:38:29.200
factions of the gop and this is devolved into the click servitive uh you know notion that we've seen
00:38:35.460
in the last few years there's just too much money to be made and maintaining the status quo and that's
00:38:41.600
why you know one of the things i one of the examples when i knew we were screwed is i was on
00:38:47.340
the air every night in louisville on my old syndicated show live and i had matt bevin on my show
00:38:53.040
all the time when he was trying to primary mitch mcconnell and at that time i was doing a lot i was
00:38:58.620
doing a lot of interviews as kind of your token conservative on msnbc panels and stuff and we would
00:39:03.580
talk about this primary all the time and i'm like i think bevin's gonna win i mean everybody hates
00:39:08.060
mcconnell bevin's you know got his own money to spend he's he's well known he's a great candidate
00:39:12.600
and he's such a good candidate he's the governor of kentucky now we got to primary night several
00:39:17.580
friends of mine worked on this campaign so i knew what was going on on the inside we get to primary
00:39:21.800
night and you look at the turnout now kentucky's the state where i think twice in the last 20 years
00:39:26.060
the democrat nominee for president didn't even get 40 percent of the vote statewide in a presidential
00:39:30.980
election it's pretty red state we get to primary night and more people voted in the democratic
00:39:36.180
senate primary been voted in the republican senate primary that night despite all the media attention
00:39:42.180
except you know where all the media attention was on cnn and msnbc which our base doesn't consume
00:39:46.920
you went i went and i went and googled fox i went to foxnews.com i googled matt bevin
00:39:51.700
mcconnell got like no results we just never talked about it it never shows up on the front page of drudge
00:39:57.640
and so here we are with a vastly superior candidate to mcconnell not some local yokel who believes in
00:40:03.560
chemtrails a guy who's the freaking governor of the state right now okay and we couldn't turn out
00:40:09.240
our voters because they didn't even know he existed glenn and this is this is why we we can't ever beat
00:40:16.200
these guys in these primaries this is why whoever tells you hey we're going to launch a 10-year war to
00:40:21.340
take back the republican party you know one of my good friends is one of the original donors of the
00:40:25.840
gop from the old sharon statement he's been he once told me steve i've been fighting for you know we've
00:40:31.100
been fighting for taking over the republican party for 50 years and i told him brother with all good
00:40:34.440
respect i don't want to do this for 50 years and the country doesn't have 50 years so the biggest
00:40:40.340
problem we have is this corporate america has turned against us in the last generation there aren't
00:40:45.500
any more lee iacoccas anymore who either supported our values or were willing to fund them because they
00:40:50.300
understood that democrats were terrible for their economic model what's happened now is youth soccer
00:40:54.920
economics have taken over wall street progressivism is in every boardroom they're now funding all the
00:41:00.080
cultural causes we're against and they've decided you know what instead of fighting big government we
00:41:04.400
just buy it off and they make you buy our health insurance if we do that well i will tell you this
00:41:08.440
um that started uh because of reagan in i think it was 1986 or 88 uh with the tides foundation that was
00:41:19.180
their goal they learned through reagan we've got too many people in boardrooms that are conservative we
00:41:26.040
have too many people running companies that are conservative we need to get people at the highest
00:41:31.900
echelons of of corporate america and take over from from there and they've done it and they did it
00:41:40.420
effectively and anytime you ever talk about it it's a conspiracy theory but it's well documented that's
00:41:46.920
what they set out to do when you talk to republicans about that they want nothing to do with it they're
00:41:52.720
like that that won't work and i'm not in it for that long i'm just gonna put my money behind this
00:41:57.400
guy the problem is is that socialists and those who want to destroy this country think long term we
00:42:04.880
don't uh if you want to think long term and know the truth know the truth about yourself your argument
00:42:13.400
our side the conservative movement how do we win in 2020 how do we win in 2024 and how do we save the
00:42:22.160
nation the book is truth bombs by steve dace truth bombs steve dace he'll tell you more about it after
00:42:29.500
this program on the blaze radio and television network this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:42:39.800
and don't forget rate us on itunes uh steven baldwin is here uh in studio uh an actor in a new movie
00:42:49.980
called the least of these uh let me start with this have you ever gone to walmart and been in one of their
00:42:58.840
little riding you know shopping carts while drinking any kind of wine out of a pringles can
00:43:05.900
and do you look down on those people that do that at this time glenn
00:43:12.320
my only response can possibly be yeah sir i am not aware of any such activity
00:43:19.060
nor if i were right i most definitely could not disclose such activity right right in any kind of
00:43:25.920
a public broadcasting yeah how are you i haven't seen you in a long time yeah i mean i've seen you
00:43:32.340
but i haven't seen you face to face you too and uh gosh there's a whole bunch i want to say to you
00:43:38.740
first i want to start with quit monkeying around jan you hairy really guys no it's not our idea we're
00:43:44.260
against it we're saying stop we're also i i will say quit monkeying around glenn okay just picking
00:43:51.820
it out and picking stuff out of other people's fur listen there is you know there's important stuff
00:43:58.120
to talk about yes there's important stuff to talk about this world has gone insane buddy
00:44:03.400
insane when stephen baldwin sits at the mic with you this many years later on the blaze and god
00:44:11.680
bless you for your success thank you uh by the way the the interview is over in 10 seconds do i get
00:44:16.100
one share of stock after the new merger just one just one uh larry no no god bless him see he knows how to
00:44:24.760
do it what's the most powerful word in hollywood no yeah yeah sorry baldwin maybe leave if you want
00:44:32.280
buster brown it's my show so tell me about the movie you're in the least of these uh and the
00:44:38.440
website forgive me is least of these dot movie not dot com least of these dot movie uh is the the
00:44:45.320
biographical story of an australian missionary named graham stains who in 1999 was uh murdered along
00:44:54.180
with his two very young boys uh he had been there for 15 years as a doctor with a medical clinic
00:45:00.440
uh treating uh the ailing leprosy epidemic which in the hindi faith is a curse he was born again
00:45:08.260
christian but very conservative and in the platform of that medical facility he would evangelize which
00:45:15.020
is legal when asked about your faith so uh then the writer of this particular screenplay was very smart
00:45:22.080
to take all of that based on the true life story and then create a really interesting fictional story
00:45:29.160
about uh uh uh an indian journalist work hired by a newspaper to try to expose the truth and this
00:45:37.560
and that and it's this guy's journey of learning who this man was and is and this so now it's kind of
00:45:43.640
like this more of a theatrical adaptation of the but it communicates who the guy was and the tragedy
00:45:51.220
and the loss and then his uh widow wife gladys who's alive today uh the first response she had to the
00:45:59.240
media after the events was we just want all of india to know we forgive the people who have done this
00:46:05.380
i love those people i love people that that forgive after the the unforgivable they just forgive the
00:46:15.100
unforgivable and that happens sometimes but in this instance it really sent a shock wave
00:46:20.400
in 99 across india and the perpetrators were caught and tried and the one lead guy was hung
00:46:28.700
went to prison and then was hung um as i understand it why'd they kill him i'm sorry why did they kill
00:46:35.240
him just because of he was he was talking about his faith or yeah i think that he just was so within
00:46:44.800
their culture as as conservative as he was i just think he was just so peaceful he was a threat
00:46:52.360
you know what i mean it's just and that's wild in yeah india gone the home of gandhi right but when
00:46:59.080
you get you know there's a couple bad apples usually in every bunch and if you're a hindi radical
00:47:04.400

00:47:09.780
causing problems in our in our faith in our region and this is yeah so that's the story
00:47:16.320
but as you know you you hear those i love people who do that thing but really this guy's story he's
00:47:24.820
one of the anomalies in that thing that really now on the 25th anniversary larry or 20 20th anniversary of
00:47:34.880
of that incident uh god bless me in my point as i can't believe it i mean it's 20 years since 1999

00:47:55.820
overall crux yeah and now we've done this film adaptation and and it's i'm not even joking around
00:48:01.920
here it's kind of already with churches and you know communities and socially going a little bit
00:48:06.520
viral he's he's kind of one of the within the world of global missionaries he's kind of an icon
00:48:13.280
you know he was just one of these guys that really walked the walk talk the talk but then lost his life
00:48:17.520

dollars a year now i mean it's just i don't know how these things are gonna last i don't know either
00:49:10.380
but we are in a we're in a time when if you want to make a movie that communicate the gospel
00:49:17.420
my friend when did you become tell me real quickly your story of when you became
00:49:23.180
that that was the most important thing in your life uh well to encapsulate that i've been a pretty
00:49:32.560
kooky kid most of my life skydiver i'm 52 now i'm still riding a skateboard and uh i just have been
00:49:42.160
more of that you know when when you hear the boom some look to it and run towards it or some people
00:49:48.720
run i'ma run towards the problem kind of guy uh but not the same kind of guy i used to be yeah yeah
00:49:56.240
it used to be you were a hard living fights i don't pick anymore glenn yeah um so i just say that
00:50:01.880
because uh i did everything you were supposed to do according to becoming a born again scripturally
00:50:10.140
what that means nicodemus the whole conversation um and i went to god and i just said look my wife
00:50:17.920
just got saved and uh uh this is cute but i'm stephen baldwin um so god said oh i forgot i'll give
00:50:27.500
you the punchline on this in a minute and i said lord you know you created me i got some talents and
00:50:33.000
this that's all you know i'm a good kisser my wife loves me but ha ha ha and i said but
00:50:39.260
my the greatest peace i have found is plunging towards the planet at 120 feet per second that's
00:50:49.300
my what's up that's cool to me and i've done that 300 times so i said to the lord if it ain't better
00:50:59.620
than that and i've had some a good run for a dumb kid from massapiqua um so i made this covenant i
00:51:13.080
supernaturally i said to the almighty here here's the deal if you reveal yourself to me in a way that
00:51:19.140
i know it's you and it's better than that you'll have a pit bull on the front lines trust me and uh
00:51:29.180
he kept his end of the deal uh and there really was never a moment that clicked there was just
00:51:35.900

00:51:43.340
everybody's down for that but you know some people just want it once a week on sunday and this but i'm
00:51:49.920
not built like that yeah i'm kind of an all or nothing kind of guy i had to go all the way or
00:51:55.280
nothing at all and and just waves of of experience i could tell you about that even this film was
00:52:02.260
difficult you know because i had to learn to talk like an australian right and good to see you glenn
00:52:07.740
you're right right you might you know you have to i had to go through my process as an actor and
00:52:12.820
create the character and find it and there was and we were on location in india so there was it was
00:52:18.440
difficult but god told me to do the movie so regardless of all that regardless of
00:52:25.460
