The Glenn Beck Program - Bring Back the Working Man ｜ Guest Host： Jeff Katz

00:00:00.000 What you are about to hear is the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:10.020 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:15.740 It is indeed the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:19.360 Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

00:00:22.360 Guess what?

00:00:23.960 Donald Trump is 0-2.

00:00:26.960 Oh no, I'm sorry.

00:00:28.160 That's Nancy Pelosi.

00:00:29.300 We'll chat about it in 60 seconds.

00:00:32.220 Jeff Katz in for Glenn.

00:00:33.840 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:41.080 All right, it is Jeff Katz in today for Glenn.

00:00:49.020 It is fascinating how all of the global warming is impacting all of us.

00:00:55.680 You know, it's one of those weird things.

00:00:59.300 Here in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I'm right here in central Virginia, we have had snow, we have had ice, we have had power outages.

00:01:11.320 And I know the last time I chatted with Glenn, Glenn was telling me about how wonderful Texas was.

00:01:17.280 It was perfect.

00:01:18.200 But apparently they got some of the same weather and, well, anyway, what can I tell you?

00:01:23.940 So Glenn is out of commission, sort of, kind of, with some technical difficulties.

00:01:29.260 But I'm so happy to be able to help out a little bit.

00:01:33.680 We should talk for a couple of moments about what happened in Washington, D.C. over the last couple of days.

00:01:42.500 It was a sham and a scam, and it was painful to watch.

00:01:48.900 I don't know anybody who was happy with the activities we saw on January the 6th.

00:01:56.300 In fact, let me go on record as saying that everybody I know looked at what happened on January the 6th and said,

00:02:04.760 that's not America.

00:02:07.820 That's not what we do.

00:02:10.460 We don't storm buildings.

00:02:13.800 We don't take over the House of Representatives or the United States Senate.

00:02:19.820 That's just not what we do.

00:02:20.980 That's not what Americans do.

00:02:24.660 What we as Americans do is contest and compete in the strongest possible ways at election time.

00:02:35.660 That's what we do.

00:02:37.540 We look at the possibilities.

00:02:42.040 We look at the vision.

00:02:43.320 We look at the hopes and the dreams that we all have.

00:02:47.860 So we say, okay, what is the best way for us to do all of this stuff?

00:02:55.880 I mean, that's really what it's all about, isn't it?

00:02:59.900 At the end of the day, we are all hoping against hope, praying that the right things happen.

00:03:10.540 Now, in some cases, the right things don't happen, or at least we don't think they're the right things, right?

00:03:17.140 We think to ourselves, it should have gone this way.

00:03:22.340 It should have gone that way.

00:03:25.860 And it just didn't.

00:03:27.720 For whatever reason, it just didn't.

00:03:31.580 So you tell me, what do we do?

00:03:35.980 What do we do?

00:03:38.020 I'll tell you what we do.

00:03:39.560 What we do is, say, work harder.

00:03:45.420 What we do is we say, maybe we didn't do it right the last time.

00:03:52.180 Maybe, just maybe, we need to change our approach.

00:03:57.940 Maybe, just maybe, we need to do something a little bit different.

00:04:08.040 And maybe, just maybe, we make it work at that point.

00:04:13.900 But, what we don't do is storm the building, right?

00:04:20.720 So we're all in agreement on that.

00:04:23.780 Now, that being said,

00:04:26.740 that being said,

00:04:30.200 what happened over these last couple of days with the latest impeachment circus,

00:04:36.620 listen, gosh, that's what it was.

00:04:38.740 A scam and a sham of epic proportion.

00:04:43.480 Just a ridiculous, ridiculous performance art exhibition.

00:04:51.480 was also inexcusable.

00:04:57.360 It was just outrageous.

00:05:00.140 It was one of those things that, as an American,

00:05:03.960 you look at and say,

00:05:05.520 I thought we had other stuff to do.

00:05:08.920 Now, I understand if you are Nancy Pelosi,

00:05:13.200 you don't really have anything else to do.

00:05:16.040 That if you are, in fact, Nancy Pelosi,

00:05:19.660 what you're really trying to do on a regular basis

00:05:24.840 is hold on to your power.

00:05:29.340 Hold on as best you can to this power

00:05:33.520 that you have accumulated over decades

00:05:37.360 in Washington, D.C.

00:05:42.260 You are trying as best you can

00:05:45.400 to stay in control, frankly,

00:05:48.380 of your own party in the House of Representatives

00:05:52.320 because as extreme

00:05:55.240 and as left-wing, bat-crap crazy

00:05:58.900 as most of us think you are,

00:06:02.100 the folks in your own caucus

00:06:05.560 look at you and say,

00:06:07.840 wait a minute,

00:06:09.340 she is not nearly

00:06:12.760 crazy enough for us.

00:06:16.280 She is not nearly

00:06:19.700 left-wing enough

00:06:21.940 for us.

00:06:24.720 Now, go ahead.

00:06:25.900 Let that sink in

00:06:27.940 just a little bit.

00:06:30.620 Let us just try and figure out

00:06:33.640 how it is possible.

00:06:36.980 It is possible

00:06:38.920 that we don't quite understand.

00:06:49.100 We look at this,

00:06:50.940 and I'm telling you,

00:06:52.020 we look at it

00:06:53.200 and think to ourselves,

00:06:55.200 hold on a second here.

00:06:57.860 Just hold on a second.

00:06:59.720 We want it to be

00:07:04.240 even further

00:07:05.740 outside the boundaries,

00:07:09.940 and apparently the answer was yes.

00:07:12.640 Just so we are clear,

00:07:14.320 apparently the answer was yes.

00:07:19.460 Because what happened

00:07:21.720 was that these House managers

00:07:25.120 went to the Senate

00:07:27.700 and said,

00:07:30.240 we're sure this guy is bad.

00:07:35.840 And you know what's funny?

00:07:36.740 There are a lot of people up there

00:07:37.660 who said,

00:07:37.840 oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:07:38.600 we agree with you.

00:07:39.360 Totally bad.

00:07:40.200 Totally bad.

00:07:41.080 Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

00:07:43.620 And then they said,

00:07:44.560 and because we don't like him,

00:07:46.980 and there were people

00:07:47.700 going, oh yeah,

00:07:48.240 we don't like him either.

00:07:49.540 Oh, you're so right.

00:07:51.260 You're so completely right.

00:07:52.660 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:53.540 Bad guy, bad guy.

00:07:54.520 We don't like him.

00:07:55.160 We don't like him.

00:07:55.760 We don't like him.

00:07:57.700 But that's not enough, is it?

00:08:00.420 No, I mean it really isn't.

00:08:01.920 That's simply not enough.

00:08:05.860 It's not enough

00:08:06.900 to convict anybody of a crime.

00:08:09.780 It's not enough

00:08:10.880 to punish anyone for,

00:08:13.420 well, I don't even know

00:08:15.060 what it is that we're trying

00:08:16.200 to punish them for.

00:08:17.860 Do you know what we were

00:08:22.100 trying to punish

00:08:22.820 Donald Trump for?

00:08:24.780 Because I can't figure

00:08:26.100 that one out, gang.

00:08:28.220 Were we trying to punish him

00:08:30.040 for leading a revolt?

00:08:32.780 Because he didn't lead

00:08:34.180 a revolt,

00:08:35.180 so far as I can tell.

00:08:37.120 I mean, four years ago,

00:08:38.520 he led a revolt.

00:08:41.960 But this wasn't

00:08:43.380 the revolt, was it?

00:08:44.940 He gave a speech.

00:08:47.720 And he gave a speech

00:08:49.660 that inspired his supporters,

00:08:55.680 inspired many people, for sure.

00:08:58.940 But the question was,

00:09:02.200 did it incite them?

00:09:05.900 Did it in any way

00:09:08.600 convince his supporters

00:09:11.480 who attended that speech

00:09:13.920 in Washington, D.C.?

00:09:15.660 Did it incite them

00:09:19.260 to commit

00:09:20.400 an act

00:09:21.900 of violence?

00:09:26.580 That's the question.

00:09:27.780 That's what the question

00:09:28.460 has always been.

00:09:32.140 And the determination here

00:09:33.920 seems to be

00:09:34.980 no.

00:09:38.660 That should be

00:09:39.640 the end of it, right?

00:09:40.480 At this point,

00:09:43.060 it would seem to me

00:09:44.640 most people say,

00:09:47.960 all right,

00:09:48.940 now we move

00:09:51.200 on to something else.

00:09:54.420 Former President Trump

00:09:56.040 gets to move on to

00:09:57.660 the rest of his life.

00:10:01.300 Now, I can't tell you

00:10:02.660 what the rest of his life

00:10:03.680 will involve.

00:10:04.480 It might very well involve

00:10:05.960 more political activity.

00:10:07.840 It might very well involve

00:10:09.380 less political activity.

00:10:11.140 It might involve

00:10:12.540 absolutely,

00:10:13.500 positively,

00:10:14.320 no political activity.

00:10:17.520 But whatever it is,

00:10:18.980 that's his choice,

00:10:21.140 as it ought to be.

00:10:23.340 then my question

00:10:26.900 to you becomes,

00:10:29.380 what about the rest

00:10:32.760 of these folks?

00:10:35.520 What about the rest

00:10:37.200 of the folks

00:10:38.760 who are involved

00:10:40.620 in this little piece

00:10:41.820 of performance art?

00:10:43.680 Now, I know right about now

00:10:45.000 everybody is looking

00:10:46.520 at Mitch McConnell

00:10:47.260 and saying,

00:10:47.740 hold on a second now,

00:10:48.920 you want it both ways,

00:10:50.880 right?

00:10:51.080 Just so we're clear,

00:10:52.400 you want it both ways.

00:10:54.040 You want to stand up

00:10:55.460 and say,

00:10:56.280 Trump is a bad guy

00:10:58.640 who did bad things,

00:11:00.200 and you also want to say,

00:11:05.560 but he didn't really

00:11:07.060 do anything

00:11:08.080 that we can deal with.

00:11:10.920 But,

00:11:11.980 yeah, there's another

00:11:12.620 but coming,

00:11:13.260 isn't there?

00:11:14.260 But,

00:11:15.760 some other folks

00:11:17.520 might be in line

00:11:19.480 to go after him.

00:11:21.460 Well, you've got

00:11:21.940 all your bases covered

00:11:22.980 then, don't you?

00:11:24.340 You're in favor of him

00:11:25.940 and you're opposed to him.

00:11:27.280 You support him

00:11:28.120 and you're a detractor.

00:11:29.560 You like him,

00:11:30.380 you dislike him.

00:11:31.000 You're a floor wax,

00:11:31.900 you're a dessert topping,

00:11:32.920 whatever it is.

00:11:33.980 You've got all

00:11:35.240 of your bases covered

00:11:36.740 at that point.

00:11:39.080 You cannot possibly,

00:11:41.220 possibly go wrong

00:11:42.760 at that point.

00:11:44.960 So, now what do you do?

00:11:50.040 And that, quite frankly,

00:11:52.000 is where I am right now.

00:11:54.140 I don't honestly know

00:11:57.140 what is next.

00:11:59.420 I don't honestly know

00:12:02.380 who or what

00:12:04.820 we deal with next.

00:12:08.100 Maybe you do.

00:12:12.840 Maybe you have

00:12:13.940 actually figured

00:12:15.020 this all out.

00:12:17.060 Because if you have,

00:12:19.620 then I will be

00:12:21.060 eternally grateful

00:12:22.500 to you

00:12:23.140 if you'll explain

00:12:24.740 it to me.

00:12:26.040 Because, frankly,

00:12:27.120 I don't know.

00:12:29.580 I really don't.

00:12:31.020 I cannot,

00:12:32.260 for the life of me,

00:12:34.020 figure out

00:12:34.960 what happens

00:12:37.660 next.

00:12:41.180 We'll talk

00:12:41.960 a little bit

00:12:42.440 about it.

00:12:43.180 The reason we've

00:12:44.060 got to talk

00:12:44.640 about it again

00:12:45.380 is

00:12:45.880 we can't move on,

00:12:49.280 can we?

00:12:51.880 The folks

00:12:52.860 who were

00:12:53.420 the so-called

00:12:55.380 house managers,

00:12:56.500 and again,

00:12:56.880 remember that

00:12:57.260 they're prosecutors,

00:12:58.220 right?

00:12:58.480 If you went

00:12:59.520 into

00:13:00.260 a courtroom

00:13:01.620 in the same way

00:13:03.140 they did,

00:13:05.020 you would have

00:13:05.880 been laughed out

00:13:07.100 of that courtroom

00:13:09.220 almost immediately

00:13:10.800 if a judge

00:13:13.360 would have been

00:13:13.820 hearing that case.

00:13:14.880 I mean,

00:13:15.060 a real honest-to-goodness

00:13:16.180 judge.

00:13:16.580 In fact,

00:13:17.160 had this been

00:13:18.780 a real case,

00:13:20.540 it never would have

00:13:21.860 gotten to the

00:13:22.540 quote,

00:13:23.000 jury.

00:13:23.460 Remember now,

00:13:24.400 you had half

00:13:25.700 of the jury members

00:13:27.540 standing up

00:13:29.020 ahead of time

00:13:29.980 and saying,

00:13:30.560 he's guilty.

00:13:31.280 that's

00:13:32.880 thankfully

00:13:34.400 not the way

00:13:35.620 it works

00:13:36.440 inside of

00:13:37.780 our criminal

00:13:38.820 justice system.

00:13:40.760 That's not

00:13:42.160 the way

00:13:42.900 it works.

00:13:44.160 You can't

00:13:45.160 seat people

00:13:46.160 on a jury

00:13:47.040 when they march

00:13:47.920 into it

00:13:48.480 saying,

00:13:49.000 yes,

00:13:50.140 we have

00:13:50.820 already determined

00:13:52.220 that the

00:13:53.420 man or woman

00:13:54.520 who's going

00:13:55.080 to stand

00:13:55.760 beside us

00:13:57.320 in front of us

00:13:58.540 on trial

00:14:00.340 is guilty.

00:14:02.660 We don't let

00:14:03.300 that happen.

00:14:04.640 But that's

00:14:05.260 what happened

00:14:05.740 here.

00:14:07.240 50% of the

00:14:08.760 jury had

00:14:09.460 already determined

00:14:10.540 and in fact

00:14:11.160 announced publicly,

00:14:12.280 yes,

00:14:12.520 he's guilty.

00:14:13.100 He's guilty

00:14:13.380 as all sin.

00:14:17.080 And then

00:14:18.100 for the house

00:14:18.760 manager to say,

00:14:19.340 oh,

00:14:19.500 by the way,

00:14:20.520 one more thing.

00:14:21.240 Excuse us,

00:14:22.180 your honor.

00:14:23.220 One more thing.

00:14:24.900 Since our case

00:14:26.260 is failing

00:14:27.140 so miserably,

00:14:28.540 since we

00:14:29.640 didn't actually

00:14:30.980 do what

00:14:31.880 we were

00:14:32.520 supposed to

00:14:33.440 do in

00:14:34.120 preparing

00:14:34.660 for this

00:14:35.580 case,

00:14:36.440 would it

00:14:36.920 be okay

00:14:37.380 with you

00:14:37.900 if we

00:14:38.360 changed

00:14:39.300 everything?

00:14:40.460 Would it

00:14:40.940 be okay

00:14:41.620 with you

00:14:42.360 if we

00:14:43.640 now

00:14:44.640 decided

00:14:45.660 that we

00:14:47.980 want to

00:14:48.340 call

00:14:48.680 witnesses?

00:14:49.740 Oh,

00:14:49.980 I know,

00:14:50.580 I know,

00:14:50.960 we didn't

00:14:51.660 have any

00:14:51.940 plan to

00:14:52.480 call witnesses

00:14:53.020 before,

00:14:53.680 but we

00:14:54.080 didn't really

00:14:54.520 think that

00:14:55.560 we would

00:14:55.860 need

00:14:56.180 witnesses,

00:14:57.060 but now

00:14:58.140 that it's

00:14:58.560 just not

00:14:59.000 going our

00:14:59.580 way,

00:15:00.240 we're

00:15:01.040 going to

00:15:02.160 need

00:15:02.980 witnesses.

00:15:05.600 Oh,

00:15:06.460 okay,

00:15:08.060 well now

00:15:08.600 what do you

00:15:09.080 do?

00:15:10.200 That's the

00:15:10.780 other question.

00:15:11.440 I'll tell you

00:15:12.100 what you do.

00:15:13.320 You fold

00:15:14.240 your tent

00:15:14.860 and you go

00:15:16.200 back to

00:15:17.260 Sarasota,

00:15:18.740 or at least

00:15:19.160 that's what

00:15:19.720 used to

00:15:20.400 happen with

00:15:20.960 the circus.

00:15:22.160 The circus

00:15:23.000 would fold

00:15:23.840 up the

00:15:24.480 tents,

00:15:25.020 the circus

00:15:26.620 folks would

00:15:27.620 get back

00:15:28.180 on the

00:15:28.500 trains

00:15:29.140 and they

00:15:29.860 would go

00:15:30.300 back to

00:15:30.920 Sarasota

00:15:31.780 because that

00:15:32.400 was home

00:15:32.880 base for

00:15:33.580 the circus

00:15:34.160 when the

00:15:34.960 circus was

00:15:35.520 not on

00:15:35.860 the road.

00:15:37.140 But if

00:15:37.780 you are a

00:15:38.600 swamp

00:15:39.140 dweller,

00:15:39.960 a DC

00:15:40.780 person,

00:15:41.780 I guess

00:15:42.200 you probably

00:15:43.540 go back

00:15:44.020 to Bethesda,

00:15:45.660 maybe Fairfax

00:15:46.720 or Reston,

00:15:48.040 but it is

00:15:49.360 time to put

00:15:50.080 this whole

00:15:50.540 circus to

00:15:51.260 rest,

00:15:51.660 isn't it?

00:15:52.540 That would

00:15:52.940 be my

00:15:53.900 sense.

00:15:54.640 All right,

00:15:54.880 look,

00:15:55.120 we're going

00:15:55.620 to talk

00:15:56.340 about it

00:15:56.880 to be

00:15:57.240 sure.

00:15:58.040 I can

00:15:58.420 let you

00:15:59.480 know that

00:16:00.120 Glenn is

00:16:01.040 fine.

00:16:02.020 I know

00:16:02.180 folks are

00:16:02.460 going,

00:16:02.540 hey,

00:16:02.660 wait a

00:16:02.880 minute now.

00:16:04.500 Where's

00:16:04.980 Glenn,

00:16:05.360 Jeff?

00:16:05.860 Where's

00:16:06.160 Glenn?

00:16:06.760 We've

00:16:07.260 got bizarre

00:16:07.980 weather all

00:16:09.000 over the

00:16:09.540 place,

00:16:09.880 it seems,

00:16:10.600 right?

00:16:11.340 We've got

00:16:12.080 all sorts

00:16:13.060 of things

00:16:13.640 going on,

00:16:14.780 and Glenn

00:16:16.080 is dealing

00:16:16.660 with some

00:16:17.340 power issues

00:16:18.740 just the way

00:16:19.280 it is for

00:16:19.880 a lot of

00:16:20.420 us.

00:16:21.080 We were

00:16:21.700 very fortunate,

00:16:23.000 blessed,

00:16:23.400 I would dare

00:16:23.800 say here

00:16:24.620 in my

00:16:25.780 neck of

00:16:26.260 the woods.

00:16:28.940 We lost

00:16:29.780 some trees

00:16:30.460 in my

00:16:30.920 yard,

00:16:31.640 but no

00:16:32.100 power,

00:16:32.680 which is

00:16:32.940 pretty cool.

00:16:33.760 All right,

00:16:34.000 I'm going

00:16:34.160 to remind

00:16:34.520 you,

00:16:34.740 it is

00:16:35.000 888-727-BECK,

00:16:37.920 888-727-BECK.

00:16:42.940 If you want

00:16:43.640 to send me

00:16:44.180 an email,

00:16:44.860 love to have

00:16:45.540 you do it.

00:16:46.060 You just

00:16:46.500 visit the

00:16:47.120 website,

00:16:47.920 actually,

00:16:48.140 my website,

00:16:48.880 thejeffcatshow.com,

00:16:50.400 thejeffcatshow.com.

00:16:51.660 Most important

00:16:52.680 websites for

00:16:53.460 you remain,

00:16:54.600 glennbeck.com,

00:16:56.180 and theblaze.com.

00:16:58.260 It is

00:16:58.700 Jeff Katz,

00:16:59.480 in for Glenn

00:17:00.240 today.

00:17:00.800 This is

00:17:01.360 the Glenn

00:17:01.900 Beck

00:17:02.080 program.

00:17:14.880 Jeff Katz,

00:17:16.040 in for Glenn,

00:17:17.480 on the

00:17:18.280 Glenn Beck

00:17:18.720 program.

00:17:19.260 A couple

00:17:20.500 of things

00:17:21.280 that you

00:17:22.360 and I

00:17:22.740 need to

00:17:23.780 think about.

00:17:24.700 We're going

00:17:25.120 to have to

00:17:25.540 think about

00:17:25.980 these things

00:17:26.560 seriously.

00:17:27.580 And I've

00:17:28.380 mentioned a

00:17:29.160 little bit

00:17:29.460 about this,

00:17:31.020 about the

00:17:32.340 circus.

00:17:33.040 It's the only

00:17:33.500 way that I

00:17:33.940 can describe

00:17:34.480 it.

00:17:34.680 And I want

00:17:35.000 to be as

00:17:35.400 nice as

00:17:35.980 possible.

00:17:36.580 I want

00:17:36.780 to be as

00:17:37.360 polite as

00:17:38.620 possible.

00:17:39.620 And so

00:17:40.180 that's the

00:17:41.220 way I will

00:17:41.820 describe what

00:17:42.860 we just saw

00:17:43.960 take place

00:17:44.960 in D.C.

00:17:46.580 it was a

00:17:48.960 circus.

00:17:49.620 But there

00:17:49.980 are other

00:17:50.440 things that

00:17:51.160 you and I

00:17:51.620 need to

00:17:52.200 be aware

00:17:53.300 of.

00:17:55.080 Hopefully,

00:17:55.780 those things

00:17:56.240 are wrapping

00:17:56.720 up.

00:17:57.600 Can I ask

00:17:58.240 you to turn

00:17:58.700 your attention

00:17:59.280 for a moment

00:18:00.020 to Minneapolis?

00:18:02.480 Remember,

00:18:02.940 Minneapolis was

00:18:04.280 the big story

00:18:05.700 for a while.

00:18:07.240 Right?

00:18:07.600 George Floyd.

00:18:08.540 You remember

00:18:08.840 that.

00:18:09.140 George Floyd

00:18:11.140 was the

00:18:12.880 victim of

00:18:14.820 an absolutely

00:18:16.040 brutal attack.

00:18:19.260 And it

00:18:20.120 happened at

00:18:21.580 the hands

00:18:22.160 of a couple

00:18:23.160 of police

00:18:24.180 officers,

00:18:24.820 Minneapolis

00:18:25.180 police officers.

00:18:27.400 And you

00:18:28.180 remember,

00:18:28.840 one of those

00:18:29.480 police officers

00:18:30.520 was kneeling

00:18:31.440 on George

00:18:32.580 Floyd's

00:18:33.360 neck for

00:18:35.180 what,

00:18:35.540 eight,

00:18:36.120 nine,

00:18:36.800 ten minutes?

00:18:37.600 It seemed

00:18:38.080 like an

00:18:38.440 eternity.

00:18:39.520 If you

00:18:40.100 would have

00:18:40.320 told me

00:18:40.760 it was

00:18:41.040 an hour,

00:18:42.280 as I

00:18:42.640 watched the

00:18:43.380 video,

00:18:44.080 I probably

00:18:44.980 would have

00:18:45.320 agreed with

00:18:45.860 you.

00:18:46.560 I mean,

00:18:46.820 I lost

00:18:47.300 all sense

00:18:47.760 of time

00:18:48.180 with that.

00:18:48.760 I just

00:18:49.060 couldn't

00:18:49.680 make heads

00:18:51.500 or tails

00:18:51.980 of it.

00:18:52.280 I got

00:18:52.420 trying to

00:18:52.780 figure what's

00:18:53.100 going on

00:18:53.580 and why

00:18:53.800 are you

00:18:54.000 doing this?

00:18:54.580 Well,

00:18:55.400 the response

00:18:56.580 from that

00:18:57.320 on the

00:18:58.400 local level

00:18:59.080 in Minneapolis

00:18:59.680 was to

00:19:00.200 say that

00:19:02.080 every police

00:19:02.960 officer in

00:19:03.900 Minneapolis

00:19:04.460 was a

00:19:06.040 bad person.

00:19:07.660 The

00:19:07.780 Minneapolis

00:19:08.380 City

00:19:09.240 Council

00:19:09.800 said,

00:19:10.940 we're

00:19:11.760 going to

00:19:11.980 get rid

00:19:12.240 of the

00:19:12.440 cops.

00:19:13.480 We're

00:19:13.940 just

00:19:14.540 going to

00:19:15.260 get rid

00:19:15.980 of the

00:19:16.860 cops.

00:19:18.480 Now,

00:19:19.200 this is a

00:19:19.780 great story

00:19:20.560 this morning

00:19:21.060 on The

00:19:21.460 Blaze,

00:19:22.180 TheBlaze.com,

00:19:23.440 and I'm

00:19:24.200 reading it.

00:19:25.780 I'm reading

00:19:26.460 this story.

00:19:28.780 Minneapolis

00:19:29.300 City Council

00:19:30.120 said,

00:19:30.660 okay,

00:19:31.940 two weeks

00:19:33.120 after

00:19:34.120 George Floyd

00:19:36.020 dies in

00:19:39.240 police custody,

00:19:40.460 killed

00:19:40.900 by a

00:19:43.120 police

00:19:44.500 officer,

00:19:46.100 the City

00:19:46.780 Council of

00:19:47.320 Minneapolis

00:19:47.660 says,

00:19:48.080 we've got

00:19:48.420 the solution.

00:19:49.420 We know

00:19:50.000 what to do.

00:19:50.780 we're

00:19:51.600 going to

00:19:52.340 dismantle

00:19:53.440 the

00:19:54.460 Minneapolis

00:19:55.000 City

00:19:55.540 Police

00:19:55.980 Department

00:19:56.420 because

00:19:56.780 every

00:19:57.780 one of

00:19:58.860 those

00:19:59.140 police

00:19:59.760 officers

00:20:00.420 is

00:20:01.360 evil.

00:20:03.440 And the

00:20:04.160 only way

00:20:04.940 to do

00:20:05.320 with this

00:20:05.840 is we

00:20:07.680 have to

00:20:08.180 dismantle

00:20:09.480 the police

00:20:10.720 departments.

00:20:12.200 Huh.

00:20:13.280 Okay.

00:20:15.200 Now,

00:20:15.680 there were a lot

00:20:16.200 of people on

00:20:16.840 the sidelines

00:20:17.640 saying,

00:20:18.100 but you

00:20:19.220 do

00:20:19.460 understand

00:20:20.020 if you

00:20:20.920 dismantle

00:20:22.240 the police

00:20:22.780 department,

00:20:23.600 that's the

00:20:24.040 word you

00:20:24.420 want to

00:20:24.680 use,

00:20:25.400 dismantle

00:20:26.140 the police

00:20:26.580 department,

00:20:27.720 you do

00:20:30.000 understand

00:20:30.480 that the

00:20:31.420 bad guys

00:20:32.100 who already

00:20:32.800 don't care

00:20:33.940 about police

00:20:35.500 officers,

00:20:36.320 the bad

00:20:36.920 guys who

00:20:37.560 already do

00:20:38.600 not care

00:20:39.340 about decent

00:20:40.720 society or

00:20:41.940 your children

00:20:42.940 will have

00:20:44.280 a field

00:20:44.700 day.

00:20:45.080 And the

00:20:47.420 Minneapolis

00:20:47.900 City Council

00:20:48.680 said,

00:20:48.980 yeah,

00:20:49.120 yeah,

00:20:49.260 yeah,

00:20:49.440 whatever,

00:20:50.240 whatever.

00:20:51.200 We don't

00:20:51.540 really care.

00:20:52.460 We don't

00:20:52.940 care.

00:20:53.800 We're going

00:20:54.420 to do

00:20:54.800 this,

00:20:55.400 and we're

00:20:56.420 going to

00:20:56.760 do this

00:20:57.140 immediately.

00:20:59.140 Well,

00:20:59.380 guess what

00:20:59.700 happened?

00:21:00.720 They tried

00:21:01.600 to defund

00:21:02.320 the police,

00:21:04.380 crime soars,

00:21:06.020 and now they

00:21:06.540 need to,

00:21:07.340 quote,

00:21:07.520 refund

00:21:08.400 the police.

00:21:10.260 We'll talk

00:21:10.860 about it.

00:21:11.240 It is Jeff

00:21:11.680 Katz in

00:21:12.460 for Glenn

00:21:13.240 today.

00:21:13.620 This is

00:21:14.300 the Glenn

00:21:15.020 Beck Program.

00:21:16.900 This is

00:21:17.980 the Glenn

00:21:18.560 Beck Program.

00:21:21.500 This is

00:21:22.440 Jeff Katz

00:21:23.160 in today

00:21:24.200 for Glenn.

00:21:25.720 This is

00:21:26.420 the Glenn

00:21:26.740 Beck Program.

00:21:33.260 It is

00:21:34.240 Jeff Katz

00:21:34.940 today in

00:21:35.900 for Glenn

00:21:36.820 on the

00:21:37.080 Glenn Beck

00:21:37.580 Program.

00:21:38.360 Glenn is

00:21:39.200 just fine,

00:21:40.700 but a

00:21:41.980 couple of

00:21:42.420 technical

00:21:42.940 glitches.

00:21:43.780 There's

00:21:43.940 terrible

00:21:44.540 weather,

00:21:45.180 as I

00:21:45.360 understand

00:21:45.780 it,

00:21:46.680 in Texas

00:21:47.700 resulting in

00:21:48.560 all sorts

00:21:49.200 of power

00:21:50.000 outages.

00:21:51.260 And so,

00:21:52.620 happy to

00:21:53.480 be covering

00:21:54.280 for Glenn

00:21:54.900 this morning.

00:21:55.520 Doing my

00:21:55.960 best anyway.

00:21:56.880 Look,

00:21:57.140 it's not

00:21:57.460 going to be

00:21:57.780 the same,

00:21:58.420 obviously,

00:21:59.100 but I

00:21:59.980 promise I

00:22:00.700 will give

00:22:01.700 it 110%.

00:22:02.980 It's

00:22:03.360 interesting

00:22:04.000 for me

00:22:05.060 because we

00:22:05.700 just came

00:22:06.440 through a

00:22:07.780 terrible,

00:22:08.760 terrible ice

00:22:09.560 storm here

00:22:10.440 in Central

00:22:11.580 Virginia.

00:22:12.800 I am

00:22:13.640 pleased and

00:22:14.720 proud to

00:22:15.460 be the

00:22:15.960 afternoon

00:22:16.400 host on

00:22:17.120 News Radio

00:22:17.700 WRBA in

00:22:19.600 Central

00:22:19.940 Virginia,

00:22:20.580 Richmond,

00:22:21.100 Virginia.

00:22:21.880 And the

00:22:23.520 ice is

00:22:24.640 always a

00:22:25.720 factor.

00:22:26.760 I was

00:22:27.320 reading these

00:22:28.020 horrible,

00:22:28.840 horrible stories,

00:22:29.740 and I mean

00:22:30.260 horrible stories

00:22:31.400 telling us

00:22:32.040 this was

00:22:33.140 going to be

00:22:33.720 the worst

00:22:34.320 ice storm

00:22:35.080 since 1998.

00:22:37.180 I wasn't

00:22:39.080 here in

00:22:39.520 1998,

00:22:40.240 so all I

00:22:41.100 could do

00:22:41.420 was ask

00:22:41.940 people that

00:22:43.020 were here,

00:22:43.640 like,

00:22:43.820 oh my

00:22:44.120 God,

00:22:44.480 Jeff,

00:22:45.240 you don't

00:22:45.440 understand,

00:22:45.740 we were

00:22:45.980 without power

00:22:46.720 for a

00:22:47.360 week.

00:22:48.520 Now,

00:22:48.800 I grew

00:22:49.120 up in

00:22:49.360 the city,

00:22:50.080 you have

00:22:50.340 to understand,

00:22:51.020 you grow

00:22:51.300 up in

00:22:51.660 Philadelphia,

00:22:53.280 in the

00:22:53.560 inner city

00:22:54.260 of Philadelphia,

00:22:54.780 you're never

00:22:55.740 without power.

00:22:57.360 This is

00:22:57.800 such a

00:22:58.340 foreign

00:22:58.840 concept.

00:23:00.520 But then,

00:23:02.240 this somewhat,

00:23:03.320 well,

00:23:03.980 I don't want

00:23:04.380 to say

00:23:04.680 rural,

00:23:05.200 but there

00:23:05.460 are swatches

00:23:06.780 of where

00:23:07.280 I happen

00:23:08.120 to live

00:23:08.560 now,

00:23:08.880 beautiful

00:23:09.220 Hanover

00:23:09.700 County,

00:23:10.160 Virginia,

00:23:10.620 that are

00:23:11.020 very rural.

00:23:12.300 And so,

00:23:12.600 this is a

00:23:13.100 very real

00:23:13.820 thing,

00:23:14.280 and it's

00:23:14.560 fascinating

00:23:15.160 to me

00:23:15.560 to watch

00:23:16.320 someone like

00:23:17.920 me who's,

00:23:19.180 you know,

00:23:19.500 I'm a city

00:23:20.020 guy through

00:23:20.660 and through,

00:23:21.220 I hear

00:23:21.700 Glenn talking

00:23:22.680 about his

00:23:23.600 cattle,

00:23:25.040 and I'm

00:23:25.280 thinking,

00:23:25.580 oh,

00:23:25.700 wait a minute,

00:23:26.840 I was

00:23:27.420 blissfully

00:23:28.260 unaware,

00:23:29.540 blissfully

00:23:30.700 unaware

00:23:32.120 that there

00:23:34.280 was a

00:23:34.860 step in

00:23:36.280 between

00:23:36.780 the cattle

00:23:37.740 grazing

00:23:38.840 happily

00:23:40.020 on the

00:23:41.000 plains,

00:23:42.200 and,

00:23:42.760 you know,

00:23:43.640 the shrink

00:23:45.060 wrap

00:23:45.560 and styrofoam

00:23:47.180 when I

00:23:48.960 got to

00:23:49.400 eat the

00:23:49.880 cattle.

00:23:50.840 I didn't

00:23:51.200 know there

00:23:51.460 was something

00:23:51.940 in between

00:23:52.680 that step.

00:23:53.880 I don't

00:23:54.180 want to

00:23:54.500 know about

00:23:55.480 that.

00:23:56.040 Well,

00:23:56.220 it's a

00:23:56.420 little bit

00:23:56.800 like that

00:23:57.300 with the

00:23:57.700 weather.

00:23:58.380 It's a

00:23:58.720 little bit

00:23:59.040 like that

00:23:59.440 with power.

00:24:00.180 I'm

00:24:01.460 sitting

00:24:01.860 here

00:24:02.460 in my

00:24:02.940 beautiful

00:24:03.360 broadcast

00:24:03.980 hut.

00:24:05.080 My

00:24:05.420 heat

00:24:05.860 is

00:24:06.060 on.

00:24:07.020 I've

00:24:07.340 got my

00:24:08.200 coffee maker

00:24:09.220 making

00:24:09.840 coffee.

00:24:11.240 I've

00:24:11.600 got

00:24:11.900 slippers

00:24:12.640 and sweat

00:24:13.480 pants.

00:24:13.880 You know,

00:24:14.060 it is

00:24:14.300 Monday,

00:24:14.700 so I'm

00:24:14.900 wearing my

00:24:15.400 blue

00:24:16.060 sweat

00:24:16.560 pants.

00:24:17.020 That's

00:24:17.260 part of

00:24:17.680 this

00:24:17.860 bizarre

00:24:18.360 situation

00:24:19.960 we all

00:24:20.360 find

00:24:20.640 ourselves

00:24:21.020 in,

00:24:21.300 right?

00:24:22.100 I don't

00:24:22.520 know about

00:24:22.800 you.

00:24:23.180 I now

00:24:23.700 work

00:24:24.160 100%

00:24:25.280 of the

00:24:25.540 time

00:24:25.880 from

00:24:26.880 home,

00:24:27.480 and I'm

00:24:28.440 thrilled

00:24:28.940 about it.

00:24:29.460 I don't

00:24:29.800 think I

00:24:30.300 will

00:24:30.600 ever

00:24:31.360 return

00:24:32.440 to

00:24:33.240 the

00:24:34.040 radio

00:24:34.460 factory.

00:24:35.300 Certainly

00:24:35.540 not on

00:24:35.860 a full

00:24:36.240 time

00:24:36.520 basis.

00:24:37.020 Oh,

00:24:37.200 I'll

00:24:37.340 probably

00:24:37.680 go in

00:24:38.160 here and

00:24:38.560 there,

00:24:39.360 have a

00:24:39.740 meeting,

00:24:40.380 but I

00:24:41.380 don't

00:24:41.500 really even

00:24:41.900 need to

00:24:42.240 do that

00:24:42.840 anymore.

00:24:43.400 I've

00:24:43.600 got this

00:24:44.240 free

00:24:45.360 standing

00:24:46.200 building,

00:24:47.560 and I

00:24:48.760 love it.

00:24:50.620 And I'm

00:24:51.060 looking out

00:24:51.580 the window,

00:24:53.200 and I

00:24:53.660 see trees,

00:24:55.360 and I

00:24:56.060 see snow

00:24:56.720 at this

00:24:57.120 point,

00:24:57.440 but there

00:24:57.640 used to

00:24:57.900 be grass

00:24:58.600 right

00:24:58.880 there.

00:25:00.620 And it

00:25:01.180 never

00:25:01.380 occurred

00:25:01.760 to me

00:25:02.180 that

00:25:02.540 power

00:25:03.420 could be

00:25:04.580 disrupted.

00:25:06.100 But sure

00:25:06.940 enough,

00:25:07.880 plenty of

00:25:09.100 folks in

00:25:09.620 our area

00:25:10.680 here have

00:25:12.280 had their

00:25:12.680 power

00:25:13.160 disrupted.

00:25:16.620 So,

00:25:17.660 I'm just

00:25:19.140 the city

00:25:19.920 kid.

00:25:21.020 You know,

00:25:21.560 I just

00:25:22.100 think everything

00:25:22.880 is supposed

00:25:23.400 to work.

00:25:23.940 You just

00:25:24.200 turn the

00:25:24.820 switch.

00:25:25.440 the reason

00:25:27.500 I mention

00:25:27.980 that is I

00:25:28.420 think there

00:25:28.720 are a lot

00:25:29.260 of people

00:25:29.740 like me.

00:25:30.600 I think

00:25:30.840 there are

00:25:31.040 a lot

00:25:31.460 of city

00:25:32.560 kids,

00:25:33.080 even for

00:25:33.540 folks who

00:25:33.920 are not

00:25:34.200 really city

00:25:34.860 kids.

00:25:35.300 We just

00:25:36.260 assume that

00:25:38.000 when you

00:25:38.320 push the

00:25:38.840 button,

00:25:39.300 something

00:25:39.580 happens.

00:25:40.060 You flip

00:25:40.540 the switch,

00:25:41.220 something

00:25:41.480 happens.

00:25:42.680 And it's

00:25:43.120 always the

00:25:43.560 right thing

00:25:44.080 that happens.

00:25:45.400 It's not a

00:25:45.980 bad thing.

00:25:47.240 You push

00:25:47.700 the button,

00:25:48.340 something

00:25:48.560 good happens.

00:25:49.360 You push

00:25:49.780 the button,

00:25:50.360 the power

00:25:52.120 is where

00:25:53.100 it's supposed

00:25:53.540 to be.

00:25:53.880 Or you

00:25:54.100 can raise

00:25:54.540 the heat,

00:25:55.360 or you

00:25:55.960 lift the

00:25:56.580 faucet and

00:25:57.100 the water

00:25:57.500 is there.

00:25:58.400 You flip

00:25:59.060 the switch

00:25:59.540 and the

00:25:59.780 lights come

00:26:00.320 on.

00:26:00.620 That's just

00:26:01.300 the way

00:26:01.740 it's all

00:26:02.180 supposed to

00:26:02.740 be,

00:26:03.060 right?

00:26:03.400 We've

00:26:03.720 gotten lazy.

00:26:05.800 We've

00:26:06.320 gotten

00:26:06.720 complacent.

00:26:08.860 And I

00:26:09.240 put myself

00:26:10.080 at the

00:26:10.360 head of

00:26:10.600 the list

00:26:10.940 of we.

00:26:12.920 So I'm

00:26:13.800 looking at

00:26:14.340 this now,

00:26:15.080 and I see

00:26:15.740 in my

00:26:16.100 backyard,

00:26:16.800 I've got

00:26:17.060 a big

00:26:17.420 tree that

00:26:19.060 came down.

00:26:20.680 That wasn't

00:26:21.240 hit by

00:26:21.860 anything.

00:26:22.320 It was

00:26:22.500 ice.

00:26:23.620 Something

00:26:24.040 as simple

00:26:24.600 as ice.

00:26:26.180 Now my

00:26:26.720 wife is

00:26:28.400 a weather

00:26:29.900 addict.

00:26:31.880 I don't

00:26:32.680 mean she

00:26:33.100 likes the

00:26:33.700 weather.

00:26:34.260 I don't

00:26:34.540 mean she's

00:26:34.960 a weather

00:26:35.320 aficionado.

00:26:36.740 I mean

00:26:37.540 she is

00:26:39.060 a weather

00:26:40.200 addict.

00:26:41.620 Give me,

00:26:42.020 give me,

00:26:42.320 give me more

00:26:42.800 weather,

00:26:43.300 more weather,

00:26:43.960 more weather.

00:26:46.040 And she

00:26:46.800 grew up

00:26:47.420 in New

00:26:47.920 England.

00:26:48.520 So the

00:26:48.880 weather she

00:26:49.800 is used

00:26:50.840 to

00:26:51.380 snow

00:26:53.300 and lots

00:26:54.260 of it.

00:26:55.480 So she

00:26:56.320 mocks

00:26:57.760 incessantly

00:26:59.740 frankly,

00:27:00.840 the snow

00:27:01.520 we get

00:27:01.980 here in

00:27:02.380 central

00:27:02.680 Virginia.

00:27:03.280 Because for

00:27:03.720 the most

00:27:04.100 part we

00:27:04.420 get two

00:27:04.860 inches,

00:27:05.340 three

00:27:05.540 inches,

00:27:05.940 even four

00:27:06.480 inches of

00:27:06.940 snow.

00:27:07.460 Things are

00:27:07.980 shut down

00:27:08.640 for a week.

00:27:09.700 And she

00:27:10.020 doesn't

00:27:10.340 understand.

00:27:10.880 She's like,

00:27:11.120 just give

00:27:11.400 me the

00:27:11.620 keys.

00:27:12.460 I'm going

00:27:12.880 to the

00:27:13.160 store.

00:27:14.060 There's no

00:27:14.620 reason to

00:27:14.960 go to the

00:27:15.220 store.

00:27:15.440 The store

00:27:15.720 will be

00:27:16.320 closed because

00:27:17.440 there are

00:27:18.020 four inches

00:27:18.760 of snow.

00:27:19.320 That's

00:27:19.760 craziness.

00:27:20.840 Well,

00:27:21.300 it might

00:27:21.520 be

00:27:21.680 craziness

00:27:22.300 from your

00:27:23.500 perspective.

00:27:25.260 But we

00:27:27.020 don't own

00:27:27.580 a lot of

00:27:28.020 snow plows

00:27:28.700 in this

00:27:29.120 area.

00:27:29.960 The policy,

00:27:31.940 quite frankly,

00:27:32.880 for snow

00:27:33.820 in central

00:27:34.680 Virginia is,

00:27:35.580 it's going to

00:27:36.520 melt in a

00:27:37.040 day or so.

00:27:38.380 Because normally

00:27:39.320 we'll have a

00:27:40.560 couple of

00:27:40.860 inches of

00:27:41.240 snow, and

00:27:41.720 then two

00:27:41.980 days later

00:27:42.460 it's 60

00:27:42.920 degrees, and

00:27:43.540 it's all

00:27:43.880 gone.

00:27:44.500 And it's a

00:27:45.000 distant

00:27:45.240 memory.

00:27:47.260 Well, the

00:27:47.720 other day we

00:27:48.360 got about

00:27:48.940 four inches

00:27:49.480 of snow, and

00:27:51.700 we actually

00:27:52.480 fired up our

00:27:53.460 snowblower.

00:27:54.200 Oh, they

00:27:54.640 said, don't

00:27:55.140 move it from

00:27:55.880 Massachusetts.

00:27:57.280 It's been

00:27:57.900 sitting forever.

00:28:00.320 She said, you

00:28:00.740 know, we

00:28:01.000 haven't used

00:28:01.500 the snowblower

00:28:02.220 in a long

00:28:02.720 time.

00:28:03.020 I said, well,

00:28:03.260 that's because

00:28:03.620 we don't

00:28:03.980 really get

00:28:04.400 snow.

00:28:06.560 Right.

00:28:07.720 Well, we

00:28:09.320 got snow, so

00:28:09.980 we decided to

00:28:10.540 fire up the

00:28:11.080 snowblower.

00:28:11.540 And after a

00:28:13.440 few pushes of

00:28:14.660 the air

00:28:15.900 button, and

00:28:16.940 putting a

00:28:17.560 little fresh

00:28:18.020 gas in

00:28:18.660 there, and

00:28:19.220 putting a

00:28:19.720 little fresh

00:28:20.500 oil in

00:28:21.060 there, and

00:28:21.420 moving the

00:28:21.780 choke back

00:28:22.260 and forth,

00:28:22.760 son of a

00:28:23.140 gun, if

00:28:23.420 that thing

00:28:23.800 didn't fire

00:28:24.380 up, and

00:28:25.820 then we're

00:28:26.360 out front in

00:28:27.040 our driveway,

00:28:28.020 and it's a

00:28:28.340 lovely driveway,

00:28:29.460 it really is.

00:28:31.840 Frankly, the

00:28:32.520 driveway looks

00:28:33.500 better than

00:28:33.940 most of the

00:28:34.400 streets I

00:28:34.880 grew up on

00:28:35.600 in the inner

00:28:36.000 city of

00:28:36.360 Philadelphia, but

00:28:38.000 there it is.

00:28:39.120 So we fire up

00:28:40.060 the snowblower,

00:28:40.660 and in like

00:28:40.920 ten minutes,

00:28:41.540 we've got

00:28:41.960 our driveway

00:28:42.760 cleared, and

00:28:45.920 Heidi thought,

00:28:46.600 oh, we're

00:28:46.880 going to be

00:28:47.160 the heroes of

00:28:47.740 the neighborhood.

00:28:48.860 Everybody's

00:28:49.260 going to want

00:28:49.660 to come and

00:28:50.740 talk to us,

00:28:51.580 because we've

00:28:52.180 got a

00:28:52.400 snowblower.

00:28:53.860 In fact, they

00:28:55.900 just wanted to

00:28:56.580 watch and

00:28:57.380 laugh, because

00:28:58.100 they said,

00:28:58.380 don't you know

00:28:59.240 it's all going

00:28:59.940 to melt in a

00:29:00.940 day?

00:29:01.620 Well, we

00:29:02.060 don't care,

00:29:02.380 we've got the

00:29:02.640 snowblower.

00:29:03.660 So we get the

00:29:04.420 snowblower, we

00:29:05.020 get it all

00:29:05.340 done.

00:29:06.160 But then,

00:29:06.940 because Heidi

00:29:07.440 is a weather

00:29:08.320 addict, she

00:29:08.960 says, Jeff,

00:29:09.920 we have ice

00:29:11.300 coming.

00:29:11.680 Now, this is

00:29:12.040 where I kind

00:29:12.540 of checked

00:29:12.900 out.

00:29:13.180 I just, I'm

00:29:14.060 not a weather

00:29:15.460 addict, right?

00:29:17.020 I look out the

00:29:17.960 window, and I

00:29:18.560 go to myself,

00:29:19.840 okay, it's

00:29:21.320 raining, umbrella.

00:29:23.780 Yeah, that's the

00:29:24.540 way that works.

00:29:25.260 Or I look out the

00:29:26.060 window, go,

00:29:26.580 huh, snow.

00:29:27.500 Oh, maybe I

00:29:29.400 should wear

00:29:29.920 something other

00:29:30.740 than flip-flops.

00:29:31.720 Yeah.

00:29:32.340 And I can look

00:29:33.160 at the thermometer

00:29:33.800 and go, 36

00:29:35.180 degrees.

00:29:37.040 Yeah, I should

00:29:38.020 probably wear the

00:29:39.240 fleece-lined

00:29:40.300 sweatpants.

00:29:42.100 That's it.

00:29:43.260 But Heidi says,

00:29:43.900 no, no, Jeff, you

00:29:44.420 don't understand.

00:29:44.880 This ice stuff is

00:29:46.620 serious.

00:29:47.760 Now, we hadn't

00:29:48.540 seen any ice

00:29:49.400 stuff in years,

00:29:51.940 right?

00:29:52.160 I've been at

00:29:52.880 NewsRadio WRVA

00:29:54.160 in Central

00:29:56.180 Virginia, in

00:29:57.060 Richmond, Virginia,

00:29:58.380 for eight years.

00:30:00.060 I've never

00:30:00.780 experienced any

00:30:01.960 of this ice

00:30:03.060 stuff like

00:30:04.440 this.

00:30:07.000 And again, I

00:30:07.920 remind you, they

00:30:08.500 told us, all the

00:30:09.420 forecasters said,

00:30:10.460 hey, it's going

00:30:10.980 to be the worst

00:30:11.540 ice storm, the

00:30:12.660 worst ice situation

00:30:13.740 since 1998.

00:30:14.980 Well, again, I

00:30:15.360 wasn't here in

00:30:15.800 1998, so I have

00:30:16.780 no frame of

00:30:17.620 reference.

00:30:18.480 But Heidi, because

00:30:19.200 she is the

00:30:20.120 weather addict,

00:30:20.880 says, oh, no,

00:30:21.280 Jeff, this is

00:30:21.760 serious.

00:30:22.160 What are we

00:30:23.500 going to do?

00:30:23.860 And she's

00:30:24.200 running around,

00:30:24.640 she's plugging

00:30:25.080 in every battery

00:30:25.900 pack, everything

00:30:26.840 is charged.

00:30:27.840 She says, do you

00:30:28.240 think we can get

00:30:28.820 a generator?

00:30:30.320 I said, I

00:30:31.620 don't know.

00:30:33.460 We might be

00:30:34.400 able to get a

00:30:34.840 generator, but do

00:30:36.520 you know what

00:30:37.680 happens when we

00:30:38.460 get a generator?

00:30:39.200 She says, well,

00:30:39.440 what do you

00:30:39.640 mean?

00:30:40.360 I said, well,

00:30:40.920 how does that

00:30:41.640 make things

00:30:42.220 work?

00:30:43.760 Can I plug the

00:30:45.240 coffee maker into

00:30:46.340 the generator?

00:30:47.260 She looks at

00:30:47.540 me, I don't

00:30:47.940 know.

00:30:48.880 You're the guy

00:30:49.620 who likes cars.

00:30:50.660 I said, well, I

00:30:51.100 like cars.

00:30:51.960 I don't know

00:30:52.420 what I'm doing

00:30:53.100 with cars.

00:30:54.420 Nobody would

00:30:55.120 let me fix

00:30:56.120 their car.

00:30:57.380 They barely

00:30:58.360 let me borrow

00:30:59.420 their car.

00:31:00.700 Well, I don't

00:31:01.500 know.

00:31:01.840 So it's like, well,

00:31:02.560 then why are we

00:31:03.300 going to go try

00:31:04.400 and find the

00:31:05.180 generator?

00:31:05.700 By the way,

00:31:06.500 closest generator

00:31:07.340 that I was able

00:31:08.200 to find, about

00:31:09.920 three hours away,

00:31:12.840 ice-covered roads.

00:31:14.200 I said, I just

00:31:14.960 get an extra

00:31:15.600 blanket out.

00:31:16.420 We'll just get an

00:31:17.040 extra blanket.

00:31:17.660 We'll all cuddle

00:31:18.400 together.

00:31:19.560 But we were

00:31:20.340 blessed this

00:31:21.060 weekend.

00:31:21.500 And I mean this

00:31:22.220 from the bottom

00:31:22.760 of my heart.

00:31:24.020 We had neighbors

00:31:25.260 in our community.

00:31:26.320 We live in it.

00:31:26.800 You know, it's a

00:31:27.440 neighborhood.

00:31:29.640 Best way to

00:31:30.360 describe it.

00:31:30.900 It's a neighborhood.

00:31:32.240 And we've got

00:31:32.800 this little Facebook

00:31:33.620 page that all the

00:31:34.660 neighbors stay in

00:31:36.060 touch with.

00:31:36.520 You know, my son

00:31:37.360 is cutting lawns

00:31:38.440 this summer.

00:31:39.160 Anybody interested?

00:31:40.300 Or we've got an

00:31:42.060 extra whatever.

00:31:43.280 Would you like?

00:31:43.940 I mean, it's

00:31:44.200 really great.

00:31:45.020 Or my son or

00:31:46.480 my daughter is

00:31:47.240 doing this food

00:31:48.000 drive for our

00:31:49.020 church.

00:31:49.740 Would you be

00:31:50.780 interested in

00:31:51.460 contributing some

00:31:52.580 canned goods?

00:31:54.180 Which is, by the

00:31:55.040 way, where we

00:31:55.520 always get rid of

00:31:56.940 smoked oysters.

00:31:58.420 I don't know why

00:31:59.360 anybody ever decided

00:32:00.360 to smoke oysters.

00:32:01.460 It's wrong.

00:32:03.000 But tins of

00:32:04.280 smoked oysters are

00:32:05.500 always, always

00:32:07.000 good to donate.

00:32:08.740 Now, you have to

00:32:09.580 donate something

00:32:10.380 good on top of

00:32:11.400 because nobody

00:32:12.140 wants the smoked

00:32:12.900 oysters.

00:32:13.900 Nobody.

00:32:15.680 Nobody.

00:32:16.780 It is, quite

00:32:17.440 frankly, the same

00:32:18.660 as the fruitcake

00:32:19.660 at Christmas.

00:32:21.240 But Heidi kept

00:32:22.220 telling me, Jeff,

00:32:22.760 this is serious

00:32:23.400 stuff.

00:32:24.900 And sure enough,

00:32:25.700 we had people

00:32:26.440 not a half mile,

00:32:29.180 three quarters of a

00:32:29.880 mile down the

00:32:30.560 road that lost

00:32:31.300 power.

00:32:32.940 So we were

00:32:33.760 blessed this

00:32:34.360 weekend.

00:32:35.380 Now, let me

00:32:36.040 circle back to

00:32:36.760 where this all

00:32:37.260 started.

00:32:37.720 I know you're

00:32:38.120 thinking, Jeff,

00:32:38.640 this is completely

00:32:39.360 and totally

00:32:39.880 disjointed.

00:32:40.560 And it is.

00:32:41.240 Except, here's

00:32:43.660 how it ties

00:32:44.160 together.

00:32:45.440 What did I

00:32:46.080 start with?

00:32:46.560 I said I'm

00:32:46.940 wearing my blue

00:32:47.600 sweatpants because

00:32:48.320 it's Monday.

00:32:50.220 Because that's

00:32:51.260 how I know what

00:32:52.520 day of the week

00:32:53.060 it is now.

00:32:54.620 It's pathetic,

00:32:55.680 right?

00:32:55.900 But that's how I

00:32:58.480 know what day of

00:32:59.240 the week it is.

00:33:00.540 It's the new

00:33:02.000 blue sweatpants

00:33:03.560 on Monday.

00:33:05.580 Because everything

00:33:06.580 now happens

00:33:07.460 here.

00:33:09.660 And I want it

00:33:10.660 not to be the

00:33:11.460 case.

00:33:11.740 Now, I don't

00:33:12.260 ever want to

00:33:13.700 go back to the

00:33:14.520 office.

00:33:15.760 I will be

00:33:16.600 brutally honest

00:33:17.400 about that.

00:33:17.920 I have no

00:33:18.620 interest whatsoever

00:33:19.400 and I don't

00:33:19.880 plan to.

00:33:20.460 But for my

00:33:22.120 kids, my

00:33:24.120 kids need to

00:33:24.840 be back at

00:33:26.000 school.

00:33:27.380 My kids need

00:33:28.540 to be back in

00:33:29.580 the real

00:33:30.520 world.

00:33:32.280 My oldest

00:33:33.280 boy is a

00:33:34.080 sophomore at

00:33:34.880 Stanford.

00:33:37.360 Amazing

00:33:38.000 accomplishment.

00:33:38.960 I mean, he's

00:33:39.280 wicked smart as

00:33:40.300 we would say

00:33:40.860 in Boston.

00:33:42.840 Wicked smart.

00:33:45.300 So smart.

00:33:46.400 In fact, he

00:33:46.740 was the smartest

00:33:47.460 guy ever to

00:33:49.460 go to Stanford

00:33:50.160 and then he

00:33:50.500 got smarter.

00:33:51.340 Just ask him.

00:33:52.680 His old man

00:33:53.360 doesn't know

00:33:53.700 anything.

00:33:54.400 Just ask him

00:33:55.080 that as well.

00:33:56.980 But he needs

00:33:57.780 to be back

00:33:58.400 amongst his

00:33:59.120 own people

00:34:00.600 out there at

00:34:01.340 Stanford.

00:34:02.180 He shouldn't

00:34:03.120 be here in

00:34:04.440 our home.

00:34:05.340 I mean, this

00:34:05.740 will always be

00:34:06.340 his home, but

00:34:07.300 it shouldn't be

00:34:07.780 his house.

00:34:09.340 He should be

00:34:10.180 on campus,

00:34:12.200 in class,

00:34:14.220 hanging out

00:34:14.820 with other

00:34:15.560 crazy smart

00:34:17.740 people.

00:34:19.460 and my

00:34:21.300 little guy,

00:34:22.240 my little

00:34:22.580 guy is a

00:34:23.080 sophomore at

00:34:23.760 high school,

00:34:25.240 but this

00:34:26.020 house was

00:34:26.580 brand new

00:34:27.180 to him.

00:34:27.880 We had

00:34:28.160 only been

00:34:28.640 in this

00:34:29.160 house,

00:34:29.680 in this

00:34:29.960 community,

00:34:30.400 for about

00:34:31.740 two, maybe

00:34:33.440 three months

00:34:34.380 when the

00:34:34.920 whole zombie

00:34:35.520 apocalypse hit.

00:34:36.880 So he

00:34:37.520 doesn't have

00:34:37.860 any friends

00:34:38.480 here.

00:34:39.560 And now,

00:34:40.580 for the last

00:34:41.140 year, he

00:34:41.880 too has been

00:34:42.780 in sweatpants

00:34:44.460 every day

00:34:45.880 sitting in

00:34:46.460 front of a

00:34:46.900 laptop in

00:34:47.640 his room,

00:34:48.440 not really

00:34:50.020 learning.

00:34:51.440 And I feel

00:34:52.000 terrible for

00:34:52.880 him.

00:34:54.040 And then my

00:34:55.100 middle child,

00:34:56.740 my little

00:34:57.080 Julia,

00:34:58.260 Julia is

00:34:58.980 severely

00:34:59.440 disabled.

00:35:01.240 Julia needs

00:35:01.780 to be back

00:35:02.600 in the

00:35:02.880 classroom with

00:35:03.760 those special

00:35:04.800 ed teachers

00:35:05.760 and those

00:35:06.400 therapists,

00:35:07.580 physical

00:35:07.920 therapists,

00:35:08.640 and speech

00:35:09.180 therapists,

00:35:09.880 and occupational

00:35:10.700 therapists.

00:35:11.560 It does

00:35:12.440 Julia absolutely

00:35:13.520 no good to

00:35:14.280 sit in front

00:35:14.820 of a laptop

00:35:15.340 for a half

00:35:15.960 an hour

00:35:16.260 with my

00:35:16.720 wife.

00:35:18.520 We've got

00:35:19.100 to return

00:35:20.140 to the

00:35:20.480 real world.

00:35:21.840 And that's

00:35:22.560 going to

00:35:22.780 demand some

00:35:23.680 honesty.

00:35:24.680 It's Jeff

00:35:25.020 Katz in

00:35:25.800 today for

00:35:26.520 Glenn.

00:35:27.140 This is

00:35:27.940 the Glenn

00:35:28.580 Beck

00:35:28.820 program.

00:35:35.160 This is

00:35:35.940 Jeff Katz

00:35:36.680 in today for

00:35:37.760 Glenn.

00:35:38.360 This is

00:35:39.080 the Glenn

00:35:39.640 Beck

00:35:39.900 program.

00:35:41.560 It is

00:35:42.880 a fascinating

00:35:43.840 day as

00:35:44.860 every day

00:35:45.460 is,

00:35:46.000 right?

00:35:46.200 Because

00:35:46.440 every day

00:35:47.280 now for

00:35:48.040 each of

00:35:48.460 us is

00:35:48.900 so different

00:35:50.020 than the

00:35:50.400 day before.

00:35:51.500 You know,

00:35:51.780 yesterday

00:35:52.240 was,

00:35:53.380 was,

00:35:54.540 um,

00:35:55.640 all right,

00:35:55.900 wait a minute,

00:35:56.200 blue sweatpants.

00:35:57.080 No,

00:35:57.260 yesterday must

00:35:57.700 have been

00:35:57.920 Sunday,

00:35:58.460 unless it

00:35:58.840 was a

00:35:59.060 holiday,

00:35:59.460 in which

00:35:59.700 case it

00:36:00.080 could be.

00:36:00.560 Well,

00:36:00.860 it was.

00:36:01.620 It was

00:36:02.000 Sunday.

00:36:03.660 Today is

00:36:04.260 Monday.

00:36:05.980 Fantastic

00:36:06.380 progression,

00:36:07.460 Jeff.

00:36:08.420 But this

00:36:08.960 is the world

00:36:09.440 in which we're

00:36:09.880 living right

00:36:10.340 now.

00:36:10.540 And you

00:36:10.680 and I

00:36:10.900 are going

00:36:11.080 to talk

00:36:11.400 a little

00:36:11.620 bit more

00:36:12.180 about it.

00:36:13.060 I don't

00:36:13.220 want you

00:36:13.440 to worry

00:36:13.800 about Glenn.

00:36:14.400 Glenn is

00:36:14.860 fine.

00:36:15.400 A couple

00:36:15.620 of little

00:36:16.240 power things

00:36:17.220 in Texas.

00:36:18.740 So,

00:36:19.020 happy to

00:36:20.560 help out

00:36:21.560 a little bit

00:36:22.160 and sit

00:36:22.900 in for Glenn

00:36:23.500 today on the

00:36:24.020 Glenn Beck

00:36:24.460 program.

00:36:25.400 Now,

00:36:25.900 I'm just

00:36:26.660 trying to

00:36:27.140 give you

00:36:27.480 a perspective

00:36:28.460 on some

00:36:29.180 of the

00:36:29.440 things that

00:36:30.200 are going

00:36:31.160 on as

00:36:31.760 we speak.

00:36:32.440 We've

00:36:32.660 just wrapped

00:36:33.360 up this

00:36:34.140 impeachment

00:36:34.860 sham

00:36:35.420 in D.C.

00:36:37.380 And

00:36:37.840 whether you

00:36:38.320 thought

00:36:38.920 Donald Trump

00:36:40.440 was a

00:36:40.880 great

00:36:41.180 president

00:36:41.620 or a

00:36:42.040 terrible

00:36:42.380 president.

00:36:42.940 If you

00:36:43.700 are to

00:36:44.040 be honest

00:36:44.740 with

00:36:44.980 yourself,

00:36:46.520 this

00:36:46.920 piece of

00:36:47.640 performance

00:36:48.240 art from

00:36:49.460 San Fran

00:36:50.800 Nan and

00:36:51.760 Jamie

00:36:52.980 Raskin

00:36:53.700 and the

00:36:53.900 rest of

00:36:54.240 these

00:36:54.400 gang,

00:36:55.740 it was

00:36:56.720 a waste

00:36:57.820 of time

00:36:58.340 and it

00:36:58.640 was silly

00:36:59.240 at best.

00:37:01.400 And we're

00:37:02.100 looking right

00:37:03.420 now at

00:37:04.140 folks in

00:37:04.860 Minneapolis

00:37:05.440 who were

00:37:06.760 sure that

00:37:07.540 the problem

00:37:08.500 with the

00:37:09.880 Minneapolis

00:37:10.360 Police Department

00:37:11.480 was that

00:37:12.120 there was a

00:37:12.600 Minneapolis

00:37:13.140 Police Department.

00:37:15.680 And their

00:37:16.540 solution,

00:37:17.480 if you

00:37:17.680 recall,

00:37:18.720 about a

00:37:19.140 year or so

00:37:19.960 ago,

00:37:20.360 was to

00:37:21.100 defund

00:37:22.280 the police.

00:37:24.100 We will

00:37:24.820 eliminate

00:37:25.920 the

00:37:28.160 Minneapolis

00:37:28.700 Police Department.

00:37:30.500 We will

00:37:31.580 demonstrate

00:37:32.400 to those

00:37:32.960 mean,

00:37:34.180 nasty,

00:37:34.960 evil

00:37:35.360 police officers

00:37:36.560 we don't

00:37:37.340 support them.

00:37:38.980 And what

00:37:39.400 happens?

00:37:40.340 Oh,

00:37:41.160 what

00:37:41.720 happened?

00:37:43.440 Crime

00:37:44.100 rose.

00:37:45.260 Police

00:37:45.700 officers

00:37:46.360 left.

00:37:47.060 Minneapolis

00:37:47.560 got even

00:37:48.200 more dangerous.

00:37:49.100 You know

00:37:50.240 what they're

00:37:50.540 about to

00:37:51.000 do?

00:37:51.660 They're

00:37:51.860 about to

00:37:52.540 refund

00:37:53.880 the police

00:37:55.300 department in

00:37:55.980 Minneapolis.

00:37:57.180 Bring it

00:37:57.600 back,

00:37:58.520 apparently,

00:37:59.140 to a level

00:37:59.720 where those

00:38:00.720 officers can

00:38:01.600 fight crime.

00:38:03.180 Read more

00:38:03.700 about that

00:38:04.280 story right

00:38:04.920 now at

00:38:05.780 TheBlaze.com.

00:38:07.840 It is Jeff

00:38:08.500 Katz in

00:38:09.540 for Glenn.

00:38:10.020 This is the

00:38:10.800 Glenn Beck

00:38:11.320 program.

00:38:12.960 Exactly

00:38:13.800 when did

00:38:15.400 loving this

00:38:16.220 nation become

00:38:17.620 a bad

00:38:18.800 thing?

00:38:19.660 We'll answer

00:38:20.300 that question

00:38:21.040 on the

00:38:21.680 Glenn Beck

00:38:22.060 program.

00:38:26.060 The

00:38:26.720 Glenn Beck

00:38:27.300 program.

00:38:28.240 It is Jeff

00:38:29.320 Katz in

00:38:30.100 today for

00:38:30.740 Glenn.

00:38:31.180 This is the

00:38:32.000 Glenn Beck

00:38:32.600 program.

00:38:34.000 Glenn had a

00:38:35.280 little glitch

00:38:36.320 this morning,

00:38:37.400 a little power

00:38:38.300 thing going

00:38:38.940 on in

00:38:39.580 Texas.

00:38:41.020 Here I

00:38:41.620 thought that

00:38:44.340 this global

00:38:45.000 warming we

00:38:45.620 all loved,

00:38:47.000 gotten used

00:38:47.980 to, was

00:38:48.520 solving all

00:38:49.040 these problems.

00:38:49.600 Apparently

00:38:49.840 not.

00:38:50.640 Nonetheless,

00:38:51.300 Glenn is

00:38:51.880 fine for

00:38:52.600 those who

00:38:53.040 have reached

00:38:53.820 out and

00:38:54.100 said,

00:38:54.180 Jeff,

00:38:55.220 where's

00:38:56.100 Glenn?

00:38:57.260 No,

00:38:57.880 hey,

00:38:58.180 Jeff,

00:38:58.600 nice to

00:38:59.000 hear you.

00:38:59.860 Jeff,

00:39:00.620 where's

00:39:01.320 Glenn?

00:39:02.120 Glenn is

00:39:02.700 fine.

00:39:03.580 Let me

00:39:03.940 ask you

00:39:04.320 this question.

00:39:05.620 Did it

00:39:06.020 ever occur

00:39:06.820 to you

00:39:07.480 that being

00:39:08.840 proud of

00:39:10.200 the United

00:39:10.560 States,

00:39:11.180 loving this

00:39:12.000 country,

00:39:12.560 would someday

00:39:13.460 be a

00:39:15.340 bad thing?

00:39:17.500 I gotta

00:39:18.320 tell you,

00:39:18.840 it never,

00:39:19.940 ever,

00:39:21.340 in my

00:39:21.820 50-some

00:39:22.780 years,

00:39:23.280 occurred to

00:39:23.940 me that

00:39:25.380 it would

00:39:25.660 be bad,

00:39:27.860 evil,

00:39:28.880 nasty,

00:39:30.160 wrong

00:39:31.980 to love

00:39:33.680 America.

00:39:34.720 Let me

00:39:35.220 explain why.

00:39:36.520 And I

00:39:36.760 want to

00:39:36.940 remind

00:39:37.280 everybody,

00:39:37.880 if you

00:39:38.100 want to

00:39:38.420 reach out,

00:39:39.460 I'm

00:39:39.580 always,

00:39:40.200 always

00:39:40.580 happy to

00:39:41.440 chat.

00:39:43.800 888-727-BECK,

00:39:45.620 888-727-BECK.

00:39:47.120 If you

00:39:47.300 want to

00:39:47.500 send me

00:39:47.920 an email,

00:39:48.460 the best

00:39:48.740 way to

00:39:49.020 do it,

00:39:49.780 thejeffkatzshow.com,

00:39:51.940 thejeffkatzshow.com,

00:39:53.280 there's a little

00:39:53.540 contact button

00:39:54.700 there.

00:39:55.520 The reason

00:39:56.460 that I

00:39:57.140 ask this

00:39:57.760 question,

00:39:59.220 whether it

00:39:59.780 ever occurred

00:40:00.600 to you

00:40:01.600 that loving

00:40:03.400 this country

00:40:04.120 would be a

00:40:04.620 bad thing,

00:40:05.680 is that I

00:40:06.300 look back

00:40:07.580 on my

00:40:08.300 own life,

00:40:09.400 and I

00:40:10.060 also look

00:40:11.060 at my

00:40:12.620 little

00:40:13.060 studio here,

00:40:16.420 my broadcast

00:40:17.080 hut.

00:40:19.300 Now,

00:40:19.620 I think

00:40:20.040 back growing

00:40:20.720 up in

00:40:22.440 the inner

00:40:23.500 city of

00:40:24.060 Philadelphia.

00:40:25.500 Everyone

00:40:26.020 was a

00:40:26.620 Democrat.

00:40:27.420 Everyone

00:40:27.840 was a

00:40:28.340 Democrat.

00:40:28.660 That wasn't

00:40:28.960 a bad

00:40:29.560 thing.

00:40:31.000 Everyone

00:40:31.320 was a

00:40:32.760 Democrat.

00:40:34.060 And there

00:40:34.420 were folks

00:40:35.040 who were

00:40:35.440 certainly

00:40:36.000 further to

00:40:36.840 the left

00:40:37.340 or further

00:40:37.940 to the

00:40:38.300 right,

00:40:38.560 but there

00:40:38.840 was no

00:40:39.820 question

00:40:40.440 about what

00:40:41.160 your

00:40:41.840 political

00:40:42.580 registration

00:40:43.160 would be.

00:40:44.480 And that's

00:40:44.960 how I

00:40:45.220 grew up,

00:40:45.620 but I

00:40:45.840 just assume

00:40:46.500 that's the

00:40:46.960 way it

00:40:47.220 was

00:40:47.520 everywhere.

00:40:48.120 But

00:40:48.220 within

00:40:48.580 our

00:40:49.220 community,

00:40:51.460 this

00:40:51.980 little

00:40:52.220 section

00:40:52.720 called

00:40:53.060 Oxford

00:40:53.640 Circle,

00:40:54.540 within

00:40:55.300 our

00:40:55.720 community,

00:40:57.100 everyone

00:40:58.720 loved

00:41:00.320 America.

00:41:02.020 There was

00:41:02.680 never any

00:41:03.040 question about

00:41:03.860 that,

00:41:04.920 ever.

00:41:06.740 And we

00:41:07.140 had folks

00:41:07.900 who had

00:41:09.440 served in

00:41:09.920 the military.

00:41:11.720 We had

00:41:12.360 people in

00:41:13.020 our

00:41:13.440 neighborhood

00:41:13.980 who worked

00:41:14.800 with their

00:41:15.320 hands.

00:41:18.080 People

00:41:18.880 who understood

00:41:19.880 how you

00:41:20.600 wired

00:41:21.320 things.

00:41:22.420 people

00:41:24.000 who knew

00:41:25.000 what it

00:41:25.460 took

00:41:25.960 to

00:41:26.560 dig

00:41:27.780 a

00:41:28.060 ditch,

00:41:28.840 quite

00:41:29.080 literally

00:41:29.680 dig

00:41:30.380 a

00:41:31.000 ditch.

00:41:31.600 These

00:41:32.260 were

00:41:32.460 people,

00:41:33.760 men,

00:41:34.840 who

00:41:36.060 showered

00:41:37.000 when they

00:41:37.560 got home

00:41:38.540 from work.

00:41:40.440 Crazy

00:41:41.060 observation.

00:41:41.980 Why would

00:41:42.580 anybody think

00:41:43.520 about that?

00:41:43.840 I'll tell

00:41:44.240 you why.

00:41:45.720 These

00:41:46.220 were men

00:41:46.700 who went

00:41:47.660 to work

00:41:48.320 and worked

00:41:48.980 awfully

00:41:49.780 hard.

00:41:52.280 And it

00:41:53.040 was at

00:41:53.420 the end

00:41:54.380 of the

00:41:54.820 workday

00:41:55.500 that they

00:41:56.320 went to

00:41:57.000 wash

00:41:57.900 the grime

00:41:58.840 off.

00:41:59.740 At the

00:42:00.340 end of

00:42:01.060 their

00:42:01.220 workday,

00:42:01.740 when they

00:42:02.300 got home

00:42:03.020 six,

00:42:03.780 seven in

00:42:04.280 the evening,

00:42:06.240 that they'd

00:42:06.860 say,

00:42:07.720 all right,

00:42:08.500 before we

00:42:09.040 have dinner,

00:42:09.800 I'm going

00:42:10.340 to go

00:42:10.580 take a

00:42:11.080 shower.

00:42:12.000 Because if

00:42:12.860 you work

00:42:13.500 all day

00:42:14.260 as a

00:42:14.880 plumber,

00:42:15.560 not a

00:42:16.140 new

00:42:16.340 construction

00:42:16.980 plumber,

00:42:17.940 but as

00:42:18.620 a plumber,

00:42:20.040 I can

00:42:21.100 guarantee

00:42:21.660 you,

00:42:22.080 you have

00:42:23.060 gotten

00:42:23.520 dirty.

00:42:24.300 And how

00:42:24.560 do I

00:42:24.820 know that?

00:42:25.300 Because my

00:42:25.740 Uncle Paul

00:42:26.580 worked as

00:42:27.720 a plumber.

00:42:28.680 When my

00:42:29.440 Uncle Paul

00:42:30.140 came back

00:42:31.020 to Philadelphia

00:42:31.840 after having

00:42:33.480 served in

00:42:34.520 the Navy,

00:42:35.740 he became

00:42:38.020 a plumber.

00:42:39.920 And he

00:42:40.820 worked

00:42:41.300 really,

00:42:42.420 really

00:42:43.480 hard.

00:42:44.520 I mean

00:42:45.340 really,

00:42:46.300 really

00:42:47.300 hard.

00:42:48.820 And it

00:42:49.380 was

00:42:49.920 physical,

00:42:51.360 back-breaking,

00:42:53.300 dirty

00:42:53.920 work.

00:42:57.060 And the

00:42:57.800 reason that

00:42:58.240 I know

00:42:58.700 about it

00:42:59.060 is not

00:42:59.520 because he

00:43:00.120 was complaining

00:43:00.920 about it.

00:43:01.740 My Uncle

00:43:02.160 Paul was

00:43:02.640 probably the

00:43:03.740 funniest man

00:43:04.560 I ever

00:43:05.120 knew.

00:43:08.080 The reason

00:43:09.000 I knew

00:43:09.500 about it

00:43:10.000 is that

00:43:10.660 there were

00:43:11.420 times where

00:43:12.120 my Uncle

00:43:12.640 Paul would

00:43:13.240 let me

00:43:13.580 come

00:43:14.120 work with

00:43:15.420 him.

00:43:17.100 I don't

00:43:17.540 know how

00:43:17.800 old I

00:43:18.200 was,

00:43:18.420 12,

00:43:18.760 13,

00:43:19.160 14,

00:43:19.560 something

00:43:19.700 like

00:43:19.900 that.

00:43:21.040 And my

00:43:21.580 Uncle

00:43:21.800 Paul had

00:43:22.520 this old

00:43:23.320 VW bus.

00:43:26.040 And that's

00:43:26.700 where he

00:43:26.920 had all

00:43:27.440 of his

00:43:27.700 tools.

00:43:28.700 And he

00:43:29.120 had all

00:43:29.620 of the

00:43:29.900 pipe.

00:43:30.860 Now what

00:43:31.260 he was

00:43:31.560 lacking

00:43:32.140 was a

00:43:33.580 seat.

00:43:34.900 Now I

00:43:35.140 mean he

00:43:35.460 had a

00:43:35.900 seat up

00:43:36.560 front.

00:43:37.260 But when

00:43:37.720 I went

00:43:38.380 to go

00:43:39.120 and work

00:43:39.900 with him,

00:43:40.580 he made

00:43:41.440 me sit

00:43:42.040 on a

00:43:42.400 milk

00:43:42.760 crate

00:43:43.160 in the

00:43:44.120 back of

00:43:45.040 this

00:43:45.260 VW bus

00:43:46.480 to hold

00:43:47.280 on to

00:43:47.920 the pipes.

00:43:51.120 And that

00:43:51.820 was part

00:43:52.220 of my

00:43:52.500 job.

00:43:53.760 Now it

00:43:54.140 wasn't

00:43:54.640 comfortable,

00:43:56.020 I'll tell you

00:43:56.280 that.

00:43:57.260 It wasn't

00:43:58.180 particularly

00:43:58.700 pleasant.

00:44:00.720 Because amongst

00:44:01.580 other things,

00:44:02.300 my Uncle

00:44:02.620 Paul was,

00:44:03.500 for a period

00:44:03.980 of time,

00:44:04.420 also a

00:44:04.920 smoker.

00:44:06.200 So it

00:44:07.160 was,

00:44:07.820 I mean,

00:44:08.380 it was

00:44:09.060 nasty.

00:44:10.740 But I

00:44:11.180 was thrilled

00:44:11.680 about it.

00:44:12.760 But then I

00:44:13.300 got to see

00:44:13.860 real craftsmen

00:44:15.780 at work,

00:44:16.460 real masters

00:44:17.860 of their

00:44:18.440 trade and

00:44:19.080 their craft.

00:44:19.900 Because it

00:44:20.220 wasn't just

00:44:20.660 my Uncle

00:44:21.020 Paul.

00:44:22.840 These were

00:44:23.520 guys who

00:44:24.500 did stone

00:44:27.180 work,

00:44:27.800 unbelievable

00:44:28.960 masons,

00:44:30.640 and other

00:44:32.600 talented

00:44:34.120 craftsmen.

00:44:36.100 They did

00:44:36.780 an amazing

00:44:37.340 job.

00:44:38.380 But it

00:44:38.960 was hard,

00:44:40.620 dirty

00:44:42.200 work.

00:44:45.220 And I

00:44:45.960 can remember

00:44:46.400 the first

00:44:47.060 time that

00:44:47.760 I went

00:44:48.720 to some

00:44:50.340 job with

00:44:50.940 my Uncle

00:44:51.300 Paul.

00:44:53.680 And he

00:44:54.400 said,

00:44:54.700 hey,

00:44:55.300 we've

00:44:56.720 got to

00:44:57.060 replace

00:44:57.620 a toilet.

00:44:59.700 Okay.

00:45:01.360 Well,

00:45:01.980 it never

00:45:02.360 occurred to

00:45:03.100 me that

00:45:03.920 the toilet

00:45:04.720 had been

00:45:05.100 used for

00:45:05.680 years,

00:45:06.420 and might

00:45:07.040 have been

00:45:07.220 one of the

00:45:07.560 reasons it

00:45:08.120 needed to

00:45:08.460 be replaced.

00:45:10.980 But he

00:45:11.880 went in

00:45:12.240 there,

00:45:12.700 and he

00:45:13.480 had shut

00:45:13.880 the water

00:45:14.340 off,

00:45:14.920 and he

00:45:15.140 had his

00:45:16.120 tools,

00:45:16.800 and he

00:45:16.960 took the

00:45:17.260 toilet off.

00:45:18.600 Between

00:45:19.080 him and

00:45:21.340 me,

00:45:22.840 we

00:45:23.720 struggled

00:45:24.900 with this

00:45:25.320 toilet down

00:45:25.940 a flight of

00:45:26.460 steps.

00:45:26.840 I was out

00:45:27.640 in a yard,

00:45:28.220 and he

00:45:29.120 said,

00:45:29.280 all right,

00:45:29.700 now,

00:45:30.120 because we've

00:45:30.540 got to

00:45:30.820 take this

00:45:31.220 toilet and

00:45:31.780 get rid

00:45:32.600 of it,

00:45:32.940 and the

00:45:33.180 dump didn't

00:45:33.660 want it

00:45:34.020 like that,

00:45:34.900 take the

00:45:35.540 sledgehammer

00:45:36.160 and swing

00:45:37.660 it and

00:45:38.160 break that

00:45:38.960 toilet up

00:45:39.680 into a

00:45:41.000 bunch of

00:45:41.620 little pieces.

00:45:42.440 And I

00:45:42.760 thought,

00:45:43.000 well,

00:45:43.060 this is

00:45:43.340 fantastic.

00:45:44.560 Right?

00:45:45.100 Now,

00:45:45.340 that's

00:45:45.660 fun.

00:45:47.800 Carrying

00:45:48.280 the big

00:45:48.720 toilet was

00:45:49.340 not particularly

00:45:50.080 fun.

00:45:51.660 Lugging

00:45:52.120 the tools

00:45:52.760 up a

00:45:53.640 flight of

00:45:54.020 steps was

00:45:54.500 not particularly

00:45:55.340 fun,

00:45:57.500 but

00:45:58.060 swinging the

00:45:59.180 sledgehammer

00:45:59.840 to break

00:46:00.580 the toilet,

00:46:01.260 that was

00:46:01.820 fun.

00:46:03.400 And I

00:46:03.880 swung it

00:46:04.700 like I

00:46:05.040 was Greg

00:46:05.660 Luzinski,

00:46:07.240 swinging

00:46:07.980 for the

00:46:08.800 stands

00:46:09.480 at Vette

00:46:10.320 Stadium.

00:46:12.420 And then

00:46:13.100 when I was

00:46:13.840 done,

00:46:14.360 because I

00:46:14.820 smashed it

00:46:16.040 up,

00:46:16.400 boy,

00:46:17.260 there wasn't

00:46:17.820 a piece

00:46:18.460 that was

00:46:18.880 left.

00:46:20.320 And then

00:46:21.580 my Uncle

00:46:21.980 Paul came

00:46:22.640 down,

00:46:23.360 and with

00:46:24.180 this grin

00:46:25.140 on his

00:46:25.680 face.

00:46:26.060 Did I

00:46:26.280 mention he

00:46:26.740 was the

00:46:27.120 funniest man

00:46:27.860 that I

00:46:28.160 ever knew?

00:46:28.840 With this

00:46:29.380 grin on

00:46:30.100 his face

00:46:30.600 that was

00:46:30.960 much more

00:46:31.560 of a

00:46:31.860 smirk.

00:46:32.680 He said,

00:46:33.180 okay,

00:46:33.980 now,

00:46:36.380 crawl around

00:46:37.320 in the yard

00:46:37.840 and pick up

00:46:38.300 every last

00:46:39.540 one of

00:46:40.560 those pieces

00:46:41.520 that you

00:46:42.360 created.

00:46:45.100 Because

00:46:45.580 we've still

00:46:46.480 got to take

00:46:46.940 it to the

00:46:47.300 dump.

00:46:47.920 So again,

00:46:48.420 it wasn't

00:46:48.840 fun.

00:46:50.780 But that's

00:46:51.880 what men

00:46:52.340 in my

00:46:52.680 neighborhood

00:46:53.080 did.

00:46:53.860 Not the

00:46:54.300 crawling around

00:46:54.900 part,

00:46:55.160 although they

00:46:55.400 did the

00:46:55.640 crawling

00:46:55.840 around

00:46:56.100 part,

00:46:56.500 too.

00:46:57.520 They

00:46:57.980 worked

00:46:58.260 with

00:46:58.420 their

00:46:58.560 hands.

00:47:00.100 And they

00:47:00.460 decided that

00:47:01.260 their children

00:47:01.920 should not

00:47:02.540 work with

00:47:03.300 their hands.

00:47:04.360 That their

00:47:05.500 children should

00:47:06.420 work with

00:47:06.960 their heads.

00:47:09.640 And I

00:47:10.320 think that's

00:47:10.780 where we

00:47:11.040 kind of

00:47:11.360 lost track

00:47:12.240 of stuff.

00:47:12.820 We kind

00:47:13.260 of went

00:47:13.500 off the

00:47:13.940 rails there.

00:47:15.620 Because we

00:47:16.580 began as

00:47:17.780 a society

00:47:19.160 to start

00:47:20.120 minimizing

00:47:21.240 and mocking

00:47:22.240 people who

00:47:23.760 worked with

00:47:24.760 their hands.

00:47:26.160 People who

00:47:26.800 were able

00:47:27.240 to make

00:47:27.980 things.

00:47:28.860 People who

00:47:29.320 were able

00:47:29.760 to fix

00:47:30.720 things.

00:47:33.400 That's the

00:47:34.060 backbone of

00:47:35.300 this country.

00:47:38.660 Small

00:47:39.140 business.

00:47:39.800 We always

00:47:40.200 hear that

00:47:40.600 phrase,

00:47:41.180 small

00:47:41.700 business.

00:47:43.280 I always

00:47:44.040 like to

00:47:44.400 turn that

00:47:44.820 phrase on

00:47:45.380 its head

00:47:45.780 a little

00:47:46.040 bit.

00:47:46.340 And I

00:47:46.480 talk about

00:47:46.960 local

00:47:47.440 business.

00:47:47.860 because

00:47:48.060 that's

00:47:48.500 what it

00:47:48.800 is.

00:47:50.120 It's

00:47:50.700 the

00:47:50.860 local

00:47:51.640 guy or

00:47:52.960 gal.

00:47:54.420 Those are

00:47:55.280 the people

00:47:56.080 who are

00:47:56.560 doing the

00:47:57.420 things that

00:47:58.020 have kept

00:47:58.880 our economy

00:47:59.800 working.

00:48:00.520 Those men

00:48:01.640 and those

00:48:02.160 women who

00:48:02.680 figured out

00:48:03.360 working with

00:48:04.360 their hands,

00:48:05.160 fed their

00:48:05.820 children,

00:48:06.440 provided an

00:48:07.100 education and

00:48:08.320 an opportunity

00:48:09.320 to go and

00:48:11.300 seize the

00:48:12.380 American

00:48:12.800 dream.

00:48:14.240 And along

00:48:15.240 the way,

00:48:15.920 as they

00:48:16.560 were realizing

00:48:17.900 their

00:48:18.620 American

00:48:19.260 dream,

00:48:20.680 other

00:48:21.300 people,

00:48:22.140 their

00:48:22.320 employees

00:48:23.180 got to

00:48:23.860 realize

00:48:24.380 their

00:48:24.980 American

00:48:25.880 dream.

00:48:28.460 So why

00:48:29.680 have we

00:48:30.080 kicked those

00:48:30.600 folks to

00:48:31.100 the curb?

00:48:32.580 There are a

00:48:33.200 lot of us,

00:48:33.740 myself included,

00:48:34.680 who are saying,

00:48:35.180 you know,

00:48:35.360 it's wonderful,

00:48:36.320 the one good

00:48:37.140 thing to come

00:48:37.880 out of,

00:48:38.700 the grand

00:48:39.400 zombie

00:48:40.020 apocalypse

00:48:40.680 that happened

00:48:42.400 almost a

00:48:43.040 year ago.

00:48:43.480 Remember,

00:48:43.980 it's a year

00:48:44.620 ago we were

00:48:45.300 told we

00:48:46.140 needed two

00:48:46.880 weeks to

00:48:47.800 flatten the

00:48:49.100 curve.

00:48:49.700 We're now

00:48:50.080 coming up on

00:48:50.640 the one-year

00:48:51.120 anniversary of

00:48:51.960 the two weeks

00:48:52.520 to flatten

00:48:53.180 the curve.

00:48:56.440 But it is

00:48:57.260 people like

00:48:57.960 me who

00:48:59.540 have said

00:49:00.120 the one

00:49:00.740 good thing

00:49:01.400 to come

00:49:01.780 out of

00:49:02.060 this is

00:49:03.460 that we're

00:49:03.940 all going

00:49:04.640 to be able

00:49:04.980 to work

00:49:05.400 from home.

00:49:07.260 Well,

00:49:07.940 I am

00:49:08.760 fortunate.

00:49:09.760 I am

00:49:10.180 blessed in

00:49:10.840 that sense.

00:49:11.360 Yes,

00:49:11.740 I absolutely

00:49:13.200 have a

00:49:14.240 commute now

00:49:15.180 that's about

00:49:15.760 90 seconds.

00:49:17.500 And sometimes

00:49:18.120 it's two

00:49:19.140 minutes if

00:49:19.720 there's a

00:49:20.040 puppy broken

00:49:20.700 down in

00:49:21.700 the path

00:49:23.760 to my

00:49:24.200 office.

00:49:25.560 But I've

00:49:26.180 got news

00:49:26.580 for you.

00:49:27.060 People that

00:49:27.680 make things,

00:49:29.160 people that

00:49:29.820 fix things

00:49:30.740 still have

00:49:32.120 to get up

00:49:32.680 and go to

00:49:33.120 work and

00:49:33.740 we are in

00:49:34.240 the process

00:49:34.860 of killing

00:49:35.900 their

00:49:36.900 businesses.

00:49:37.880 I don't

00:49:39.060 know how

00:49:40.700 decent

00:49:41.760 people who

00:49:43.700 make things

00:49:44.700 and fix

00:49:45.300 things have

00:49:45.820 even been

00:49:46.360 able to

00:49:46.940 stay above

00:49:49.400 water this

00:49:51.560 last year.

00:49:53.260 But we

00:49:54.160 have got to

00:49:54.760 remember them.

00:49:56.600 I want to

00:49:57.080 give you just

00:49:57.480 one little

00:49:58.480 example and

00:49:59.260 then I

00:50:00.380 want to

00:50:00.640 bring you

00:50:00.940 into this

00:50:01.440 888-727-BECK,

00:50:03.840 888-727-BECK.

00:50:05.580 if you

00:50:06.240 in fact

00:50:07.060 are one

00:50:08.140 of those

00:50:08.680 men,

00:50:09.120 one of

00:50:09.500 those women

00:50:09.960 who has

00:50:10.580 to get

00:50:10.960 out.

00:50:12.160 You can't

00:50:12.820 do everything

00:50:13.340 from your

00:50:13.800 house because

00:50:14.320 you are

00:50:14.880 making

00:50:15.660 something,

00:50:16.320 you are

00:50:16.640 fixing

00:50:17.120 something,

00:50:17.800 you've got

00:50:18.680 the restaurant

00:50:19.520 and the

00:50:19.940 community and

00:50:20.660 you're thinking

00:50:20.960 man people

00:50:21.500 need to

00:50:21.960 eat.

00:50:23.560 And I

00:50:23.840 want to

00:50:24.080 get you

00:50:24.360 in on

00:50:24.720 this because

00:50:25.060 it's your

00:50:25.480 voice I

00:50:26.160 don't think

00:50:26.740 has been

00:50:27.060 heard as

00:50:27.740 much as

00:50:28.120 it needs

00:50:28.620 to.

00:50:29.640 Even

00:50:30.000 as

00:50:30.640 Glenn

00:50:31.260 Beck.com

00:50:32.680 Glenn

00:50:33.020 Beck.com

00:50:33.800 Glenn has

00:50:34.340 that wonderful

00:50:35.380 GoFundMe

00:50:36.720 activity

00:50:37.300 underway to

00:50:38.000 help some

00:50:39.080 small business

00:50:40.540 owners,

00:50:41.340 some local

00:50:42.400 business

00:50:43.020 operators around

00:50:44.040 America.

00:50:45.900 So this

00:50:47.020 past weekend

00:50:48.100 as we're

00:50:49.420 dealing with

00:50:50.080 weather in

00:50:51.860 central Virginia,

00:50:54.380 our power

00:50:56.320 stayed on

00:50:57.600 but our

00:50:58.220 heater

00:50:58.860 stopped

00:51:00.060 working.

00:51:00.720 Or at least

00:51:01.060 that's what I

00:51:01.620 thought.

00:51:02.020 because I

00:51:02.940 don't fix

00:51:03.940 things and

00:51:04.640 I don't

00:51:04.960 make things

00:51:05.680 so I

00:51:06.080 don't know

00:51:06.720 much.

00:51:07.840 I only

00:51:08.500 know that

00:51:09.060 I have to

00:51:09.580 call somebody

00:51:10.460 to fix

00:51:11.300 things.

00:51:13.140 So our

00:51:14.100 thermostat was

00:51:15.040 blank and

00:51:15.840 the last time

00:51:16.660 that it was

00:51:17.140 like that it

00:51:17.880 was because

00:51:18.660 there was

00:51:19.600 some sort

00:51:20.500 of, I

00:51:21.760 don't even

00:51:22.320 know, the

00:51:23.200 Johnson rod

00:51:24.720 did this

00:51:25.660 instead of

00:51:26.260 that and

00:51:26.780 anyway then

00:51:27.720 there was a

00:51:28.100 work crew

00:51:28.640 here and

00:51:29.320 then it was

00:51:30.260 all fine.

00:51:32.220 But my

00:51:33.800 bride, who

00:51:34.960 I may have

00:51:35.700 mentioned to

00:51:36.120 you, is a

00:51:36.700 weather addict.

00:51:38.580 She watches

00:51:39.700 weather the

00:51:41.180 same way the

00:51:42.400 teenage boy

00:51:43.560 tries to get

00:51:45.740 through the

00:51:46.440 cable channels

00:51:48.040 that are not

00:51:48.640 scrambled.

00:51:49.360 You know what

00:51:49.700 I mean?

00:51:50.320 She's just

00:51:51.060 addicted to

00:51:52.320 it.

00:51:52.520 She's sick.

00:51:53.860 But she

00:51:54.640 said, Jeff,

00:51:55.920 my mother

00:51:57.060 said, now

00:51:58.020 right there I

00:51:58.700 should have

00:51:59.020 known better,

00:51:59.560 right there I

00:52:00.420 should have

00:52:00.760 known, stop

00:52:02.000 listening, Jeff.

00:52:04.440 But she

00:52:04.840 continued and

00:52:05.640 I continued

00:52:06.300 because, you

00:52:06.700 know, it was

00:52:07.140 Valentine's Day

00:52:07.940 weekend and

00:52:08.500 all.

00:52:09.420 She said, my

00:52:10.000 mother said, we

00:52:11.560 should probably

00:52:12.200 crank the heat

00:52:13.060 up really high

00:52:14.240 so that if we

00:52:15.280 do lose heat,

00:52:17.760 because everything

00:52:18.320 around here is

00:52:18.960 on something

00:52:19.420 called a heat

00:52:19.980 pump, which is

00:52:20.580 electric.

00:52:21.400 If we do lose

00:52:22.360 power and we

00:52:23.580 lose the heat,

00:52:24.340 it'll take

00:52:24.820 longer for the

00:52:26.140 house to cool

00:52:26.920 down.

00:52:27.460 And I

00:52:28.280 said, oh,

00:52:28.720 okay.

00:52:31.200 So, what do

00:52:32.360 I do?

00:52:32.800 I crank the

00:52:33.700 heat.

00:52:34.720 Now, we

00:52:36.800 are relocated

00:52:39.640 Yankees.

00:52:40.560 I mean, I am

00:52:41.440 a southern

00:52:41.980 gentleman by

00:52:42.780 choice, but I

00:52:44.540 can tolerate

00:52:45.160 cold weather a

00:52:45.920 little bit

00:52:46.140 better.

00:52:46.380 So, we

00:52:46.660 never have

00:52:47.260 the heat in

00:52:47.940 our home

00:52:48.440 higher than

00:52:49.220 about 62

00:52:50.060 degrees.

00:52:50.660 That's it.

00:52:51.120 So, I

00:52:53.060 cranked it to

00:52:53.740 75.

00:52:54.600 I don't think

00:52:55.180 the thermostat

00:52:55.720 had ever been

00:52:56.380 set to 75.

00:52:57.860 And the next

00:52:58.600 thing I know,

00:52:59.480 I'm sitting in

00:53:00.160 my little chair

00:53:00.900 going, you

00:53:01.320 know, it's

00:53:01.580 getting chilly.

00:53:02.780 And for 75,

00:53:03.940 it ought not

00:53:04.380 be this chilly.

00:53:06.520 And then, I

00:53:07.660 got up, and I

00:53:09.020 looked at the

00:53:09.460 thermostat, and

00:53:10.100 it was blank.

00:53:12.640 Now, I knew

00:53:13.400 who was to

00:53:13.860 blame.

00:53:14.160 My mother-in-law.

00:53:15.260 Clearly, my

00:53:16.000 mother-in-law was

00:53:17.260 to blame.

00:53:18.080 But, aside

00:53:20.700 from simply

00:53:21.900 reassuring myself

00:53:23.560 that I was

00:53:24.060 right all along,

00:53:24.920 what good was

00:53:25.560 that going to

00:53:25.940 do us?

00:53:27.040 So, what did

00:53:27.480 I do?

00:53:29.140 First, I

00:53:29.660 complained to

00:53:30.200 Heidi.

00:53:30.520 I said, see?

00:53:32.100 She said, well,

00:53:32.860 what are we

00:53:33.380 going to do?

00:53:33.820 I said, I

00:53:34.040 don't know.

00:53:34.660 We've got to

00:53:34.960 call people.

00:53:35.560 Got to call

00:53:36.000 people.

00:53:37.020 She's like, you

00:53:37.420 don't have

00:53:37.800 people.

00:53:38.120 I said, I

00:53:38.460 got people.

00:53:39.680 I got guys.

00:53:40.920 And sure

00:53:41.200 enough, I

00:53:41.560 started calling

00:53:41.980 my guys.

00:53:42.640 One of the

00:53:43.040 guys I called

00:53:44.340 was not actually

00:53:45.180 directly.

00:53:45.740 I called the

00:53:47.360 HVAC company

00:53:48.980 that services

00:53:50.340 our unit.

00:53:52.740 And I

00:53:53.280 got the

00:53:53.940 voicemail

00:53:55.600 because it's

00:53:56.180 the weekend.

00:53:58.000 And not the

00:53:58.880 weekend that

00:53:59.380 did that

00:53:59.680 terrible halftime

00:54:00.420 show.

00:54:00.660 I mean the

00:54:00.940 actual weekend.

00:54:01.860 So, I

00:54:02.260 leave a message,

00:54:02.980 hey, it's

00:54:03.360 Jeff Katz.

00:54:03.860 Would you

00:54:04.080 mind giving

00:54:04.460 me a call

00:54:04.900 back?

00:54:05.360 It's done,

00:54:06.260 blah, blah,

00:54:06.520 blah.

00:54:07.420 I get a

00:54:08.100 call back

00:54:08.560 from the

00:54:09.080 owner of

00:54:10.440 that company.

00:54:12.160 And I

00:54:12.700 said to him,

00:54:13.700 Stefan, what

00:54:14.380 are you doing?

00:54:15.640 I said, what

00:54:15.920 do you mean?

00:54:16.220 I said, it's

00:54:17.900 the weekend and

00:54:20.560 you're returning

00:54:21.200 a service

00:54:22.280 call.

00:54:23.420 Why?

00:54:24.240 And he

00:54:24.460 said, because

00:54:25.220 it's my

00:54:25.940 weekend to

00:54:26.820 do that.

00:54:28.180 And I

00:54:28.440 said, but

00:54:29.040 do you own

00:54:29.720 the company?

00:54:31.020 He said,

00:54:31.380 yep.

00:54:32.820 I said, but

00:54:33.920 you're, he

00:54:34.360 says, I'll be

00:54:35.120 out.

00:54:35.440 Give me about

00:54:35.840 40 minutes.

00:54:36.560 I got to get

00:54:36.960 up there.

00:54:38.340 And I

00:54:38.600 said, no,

00:54:38.920 seriously, who's

00:54:39.640 really going to

00:54:40.240 come?

00:54:40.400 He says, it's

00:54:40.880 me.

00:54:42.240 It's my

00:54:43.000 company.

00:54:43.680 And because

00:54:44.460 it's my

00:54:45.120 company, I

00:54:46.180 take every

00:54:47.540 third weekend

00:54:48.660 with the

00:54:49.480 other guys or

00:54:50.300 every fourth

00:54:50.900 weekend, whatever

00:54:51.560 it is, I

00:54:52.480 take the

00:54:53.040 weekend just

00:54:54.040 like all the

00:54:54.600 rest of the

00:54:55.060 guys that

00:54:55.820 work for

00:54:56.580 me.

00:54:57.360 And in

00:54:57.880 fact, if

00:54:58.380 they've got

00:54:58.940 something to

00:54:59.560 do, if

00:54:59.960 they've got a

00:55:00.520 special event

00:55:01.100 with their

00:55:01.480 family, I

00:55:02.540 take their

00:55:03.480 weekend.

00:55:04.140 I'm here to

00:55:06.900 tell you, it's

00:55:07.620 men like

00:55:08.620 that we're

00:55:10.340 punishing.

00:55:11.560 It's men

00:55:12.580 like that

00:55:13.900 who truly

00:55:15.960 are the

00:55:16.860 personification

00:55:17.820 of the

00:55:18.620 American dream.

00:55:20.060 And we're

00:55:20.660 trashing them.

00:55:23.320 We're taking

00:55:24.060 men that

00:55:24.900 proudly have

00:55:26.480 an American

00:55:28.380 flag sticker

00:55:29.460 on their

00:55:29.900 pickup truck

00:55:30.880 or on their

00:55:31.420 van, and

00:55:32.840 we're telling

00:55:33.880 them they're

00:55:35.580 bad.

00:55:37.140 Ten-second

00:55:38.340 pause here

00:55:39.240 for station

00:55:40.140 identification.

00:55:50.420 It is

00:55:51.420 Jeff Katz

00:55:52.200 in for

00:55:53.360 Glenn Beck.

00:55:54.920 This is the

00:55:55.760 Glenn Beck

00:55:56.240 program.

00:55:56.840 Let me grab

00:55:57.600 Danny from

00:55:58.820 Michigan.

00:55:59.700 Danny, welcome

00:56:00.580 to the Glenn

00:56:01.180 Beck program.

00:56:02.840 Thank you

00:56:03.500 very much.

00:56:04.020 I'm enjoying

00:56:04.380 your show.

00:56:05.240 Thanks, sir.

00:56:05.720 On a snowy

00:56:05.920 day.

00:56:06.760 Yes.

00:56:07.380 One of the

00:56:08.200 things that is

00:56:09.660 very difficult

00:56:10.160 to get my

00:56:11.180 arms around

00:56:11.840 about is the

00:56:13.040 change in this

00:56:13.720 economy that's

00:56:14.380 occurred over the

00:56:14.900 last 20 years.

00:56:16.560 And you look

00:56:17.160 at the companies

00:56:17.980 that are succeeding

00:56:18.700 right now and

00:56:19.300 those that failed.

00:56:21.380 Kodak, for

00:56:22.040 example, their

00:56:22.760 peak sales was

00:56:24.100 $16 billion

00:56:25.420 back in the

00:56:27.060 90s.

00:56:27.940 And they

00:56:28.500 employed nearly

00:56:29.400 200,000

00:56:31.200 people.

00:56:32.920 Now you

00:56:33.660 look at a

00:56:34.600 company like

00:56:35.520 Facebook.

00:56:36.960 Their revenue

00:56:37.940 is $158

00:56:39.980 billion.

00:56:42.200 And they

00:56:42.980 employ 50,000

00:56:44.320 people.

00:56:46.060 Where did

00:56:46.880 everybody go?

00:56:48.920 Where did

00:56:49.580 those 100,000

00:56:51.020 people go to

00:56:52.180 get jobs?

00:56:54.020 And this

00:56:54.420 economy, and I

00:56:55.700 agree with your

00:56:56.340 point wholeheartedly,

00:56:57.500 you made one of the

00:56:58.380 greatest points of

00:56:59.380 all, where

00:57:00.280 parents like mine

00:57:01.800 didn't want me to

00:57:02.900 work with my

00:57:03.540 hands.

00:57:04.520 They thought we

00:57:05.600 would give you a

00:57:06.540 better way to

00:57:07.380 live than break

00:57:08.760 your back like I

00:57:10.240 had to do, and I

00:57:11.440 don't want you to

00:57:12.060 do that.

00:57:13.380 And the

00:57:14.340 intelligence of

00:57:16.000 what is so

00:57:16.720 important to know

00:57:17.580 about fixing

00:57:18.320 things and

00:57:18.960 creating things

00:57:19.780 has disappeared.

00:57:21.480 And the only

00:57:22.380 creativity that

00:57:23.880 exists now is

00:57:25.180 through cyber

00:57:26.400 world.

00:57:26.740 creativity of

00:57:28.040 an idea, or

00:57:29.040 something that's

00:57:29.600 not even real

00:57:30.220 that you can get

00:57:30.680 your hands around.

00:57:31.580 It's all service

00:57:32.220 based stuff.

00:57:33.940 And to me,

00:57:35.240 that's the one

00:57:35.960 thing that is the

00:57:36.520 most disturbing.

00:57:38.120 And that's the

00:57:39.600 only point that I

00:57:40.100 wanted to make.

00:57:41.020 Well, Danny, it's

00:57:41.620 a great point, and

00:57:42.240 I appreciate you

00:57:43.060 calling into the

00:57:43.900 Glenn Beck

00:57:44.340 program.

00:57:44.920 What a great

00:57:45.300 point.

00:57:46.060 I mean, we

00:57:46.940 all are enamored

00:57:48.380 of folks who

00:57:48.980 make these

00:57:49.600 virtual things.

00:57:51.860 The problem is

00:57:52.960 we're not

00:57:53.620 enamored of

00:57:54.780 people who

00:57:55.320 make actual

00:57:56.720 things.

00:57:58.020 Denny is in

00:57:58.980 West Virginia.

00:57:59.940 Denny, welcome

00:58:00.880 to the Glenn Beck

00:58:01.840 program.

00:58:03.540 Hi, Jeff.

00:58:04.300 How are you

00:58:04.540 doing?

00:58:05.140 I'm fine.

00:58:05.580 Thank you, sir.

00:58:07.040 I just wanted to

00:58:08.040 talk to you about

00:58:08.800 the economy for

00:58:11.420 the small business

00:58:12.140 person.

00:58:13.780 I have two

00:58:14.980 points.

00:58:15.520 One is I'm a

00:58:16.860 small business

00:58:17.440 person in a

00:58:18.220 construction business.

00:58:19.220 We do concrete

00:58:19.860 work.

00:58:20.960 And the biggest

00:58:22.380 problem we have

00:58:23.220 is hiring people.

00:58:25.040 We have business

00:58:26.940 that we can't

00:58:27.980 even handle.

00:58:30.520 And what you're

00:58:32.100 talking about is

00:58:32.800 people have lost

00:58:34.440 their willingness

00:58:35.940 to work with

00:58:36.960 their hands because

00:58:38.260 their parents did

00:58:39.060 tell them that,

00:58:40.300 oh, you don't want

00:58:40.720 to do that.

00:58:41.220 That's hard work.

00:58:42.480 Exactly.

00:58:42.680 Now you can't

00:58:43.280 hire anybody that

00:58:44.220 wants to work hard.

00:58:45.480 And if you do

00:58:46.240 hire somebody, they

00:58:48.380 grew up in that

00:58:49.420 mentality and they

00:58:50.460 don't know how to

00:58:51.100 work.

00:58:51.340 They were never

00:58:51.720 taught.

00:58:52.120 They were never

00:58:52.580 taught how to

00:58:53.200 work.

00:58:53.800 Denny, I

00:58:54.360 appreciate the

00:58:55.020 call.

00:58:55.360 You are so

00:58:55.860 right.

00:58:56.400 It is Jeff

00:58:57.000 Katz in today

00:58:57.720 for Glenn.

00:58:58.400 This is the

00:58:58.960 Glenn Beck

00:58:59.700 program.

00:59:07.580 This is the

00:59:08.740 Glenn Beck

00:59:09.280 program.

00:59:10.780 So I was

00:59:12.620 thinking about

00:59:13.080 today, hauling

00:59:13.780 out my guitar

00:59:14.340 and my

00:59:14.660 harmonica,

00:59:15.300 neither of

00:59:15.620 which can I

00:59:17.500 play.

00:59:18.460 but I wanted

00:59:21.120 to play.

00:59:21.560 It's kind of a

00:59:22.020 bluesy thing

00:59:22.700 called sitting in

00:59:23.480 the waiting room

00:59:24.480 at the

00:59:24.980 mechanics shop

00:59:25.800 kissing my

00:59:26.640 money goodbye

00:59:27.280 because I

00:59:29.500 didn't get

00:59:29.840 car shield

00:59:30.280 blues.

00:59:30.780 Now it's a

00:59:31.420 little wordy.

00:59:32.660 Yes, a little

00:59:33.320 wordy, but I

00:59:34.300 think you'll like

00:59:34.820 the music.

00:59:35.740 If I could play

00:59:36.720 the guitar or

00:59:37.500 the harmonica,

00:59:38.360 you'd understand.

00:59:40.540 So let me just

00:59:41.200 say this.

00:59:41.960 If you've ever

00:59:42.780 had the blues

00:59:43.360 because your

00:59:43.920 check engine

00:59:44.420 light went off

00:59:45.120 and you're like,

00:59:45.880 I'm not going

00:59:46.840 to check my

00:59:47.380 engine light

00:59:47.940 because I know

00:59:48.600 what that's

00:59:49.060 going to cost

00:59:49.600 and then it

00:59:50.400 gets worse.

00:59:52.540 That's the

00:59:53.140 blues.

00:59:53.800 Okay, grab

00:59:54.300 your harmonica

00:59:55.000 or get

00:59:56.840 car shield.

00:59:58.000 If anything

00:59:58.500 like this

00:59:59.100 happens to

00:59:59.660 you and your

01:00:00.080 car breaks

01:00:00.680 down, you

01:00:01.140 have 24-7

01:00:02.100 roadside

01:00:02.680 assistance.

01:00:03.280 They get

01:00:03.860 car while

01:00:04.320 yours is in

01:00:04.800 the shop.

01:00:05.320 They pay

01:00:06.060 the mechanic,

01:00:06.780 whether it's

01:00:07.180 the dealership

01:00:07.960 or your

01:00:08.860 local mechanic.

01:00:10.020 Doesn't

01:00:10.420 matter.

01:00:10.980 They pay

01:00:11.480 them.

01:00:11.740 They don't

01:00:12.000 pay you,

01:00:12.580 so you're

01:00:39.300 One of the

01:00:40.320 things that

01:00:41.080 I am so

01:00:42.700 grateful for

01:00:44.100 is the

01:00:45.280 fact that

01:00:46.000 I'm here

01:00:47.040 in the

01:00:47.560 United States

01:00:48.040 of America.

01:00:48.560 I know it

01:00:48.820 sounds trite at

01:00:49.800 this point.

01:00:50.200 My gosh,

01:00:50.660 Jeff,

01:00:50.800 we don't

01:00:51.020 talk about

01:00:51.480 stuff like

01:00:51.860 that.

01:00:52.060 Why are

01:00:52.300 you saying

01:00:52.680 that?

01:00:53.300 Because

01:00:53.740 right at

01:00:54.500 this moment

01:00:54.940 I'm at

01:00:55.440 theblaze.com

01:00:56.780 and if you

01:00:57.160 don't usually

01:00:58.120 stop at

01:00:58.780 theblaze.com

01:00:59.660 then you

01:01:00.980 need to

01:01:01.300 smarten yourself

01:01:01.880 up a little

01:01:02.420 bit.

01:01:02.740 Theblaze.com

01:01:03.760 and

01:01:03.880 glennbeck.com

01:01:04.840 these are

01:01:05.280 must-read

01:01:06.840 websites for

01:01:07.660 me every

01:01:08.080 single day.

01:01:08.780 And the

01:01:08.920 top story

01:01:09.620 right now

01:01:10.360 has to do

01:01:11.780 with

01:01:12.200 Jemele

01:01:12.920 Hill.

01:01:14.580 She says

01:01:15.740 patriotic

01:01:16.500 symbols

01:01:17.040 have been

01:01:18.480 weaponized.

01:01:19.740 She talks

01:01:20.660 about

01:01:21.200 empty

01:01:22.320 gestures

01:01:23.060 of

01:01:23.840 patriotism.

01:01:24.920 The other

01:01:25.380 day

01:01:26.060 as everyone

01:01:28.560 was discovering

01:01:29.380 that Mark

01:01:30.020 Cuban

01:01:30.480 had stopped

01:01:32.520 playing the

01:01:33.300 national anthem

01:01:34.080 before Dallas

01:01:35.420 Mavericks

01:01:36.500 games,

01:01:37.660 people said,

01:01:38.240 well,

01:01:38.380 see,

01:01:38.560 nobody even

01:01:39.020 noticed.

01:01:39.440 and other

01:01:40.600 folks said,

01:01:41.140 well,

01:01:41.220 Jeff,

01:01:41.480 we don't

01:01:41.700 play the

01:01:43.000 national anthem

01:01:43.800 before movies

01:01:46.400 or before

01:01:48.700 plays,

01:01:51.200 so why

01:01:51.580 would we

01:01:51.900 play it

01:01:52.360 before

01:01:52.760 sporting

01:01:53.840 competitions?

01:01:56.320 Well,

01:01:56.900 it comes

01:01:57.740 from the

01:01:58.480 Olympics.

01:01:59.200 It's a

01:01:59.460 tradition,

01:02:00.180 right?

01:02:01.400 Whoever

01:02:01.840 it is,

01:02:02.540 that man

01:02:03.040 or woman

01:02:03.460 who has

01:02:04.260 won gold

01:02:05.540 gets to

01:02:06.820 stand on

01:02:07.440 the platform

01:02:08.380 and their

01:02:09.000 flag is

01:02:09.660 raised.

01:02:10.100 It is

01:02:10.580 about

01:02:10.960 their

01:02:12.060 pride

01:02:12.720 in being

01:02:13.260 whatever

01:02:14.180 nation

01:02:15.720 they happen

01:02:16.200 to be

01:02:16.440 representing,

01:02:17.160 an American,

01:02:18.260 a Canadian.

01:02:20.640 And there's

01:02:21.320 a certain

01:02:21.600 amount of

01:02:21.980 pride,

01:02:22.340 and it's

01:02:22.600 carried over

01:02:24.100 into our

01:02:25.060 sporting events

01:02:25.860 here.

01:02:27.600 And particularly

01:02:28.600 when you look

01:02:29.320 at competition,

01:02:31.160 say,

01:02:31.380 in the NHL,

01:02:32.200 when you have

01:02:32.580 an American

01:02:33.000 team and a

01:02:33.500 Canadian team,

01:02:34.280 and each

01:02:36.020 is,

01:02:36.500 at least in

01:02:36.900 theory,

01:02:37.360 playing for

01:02:38.000 the pride

01:02:38.740 of their

01:02:39.040 nation.

01:02:41.640 And that

01:02:42.160 piece there,

01:02:43.120 but well,

01:02:43.520 you know,

01:02:43.760 we don't play

01:02:44.260 it before

01:02:44.860 plays,

01:02:46.200 as if that

01:02:47.580 was the

01:02:47.880 reason to

01:02:48.300 ditch it

01:02:48.580 before sporting

01:02:49.500 events.

01:02:50.400 And I

01:02:50.580 thought,

01:02:50.780 no,

01:02:50.920 no,

01:02:51.000 no,

01:02:51.120 just the

01:02:51.460 opposite.

01:02:52.240 That's the

01:02:52.700 reason we

01:02:53.100 ought to

01:02:53.320 play it

01:02:53.780 before plays.

01:02:54.760 You go

01:02:54.940 into the

01:02:55.220 theater,

01:02:55.560 the first

01:02:55.940 thing that

01:02:56.240 should happen,

01:02:56.960 yeah,

01:02:57.320 is that the

01:02:57.720 national anthem

01:02:58.300 should be

01:02:58.640 played.

01:02:59.420 You go to

01:02:59.860 see a movie,

01:03:00.500 yeah,

01:03:00.720 I don't think

01:03:01.080 it's a big

01:03:01.420 deal at all

01:03:01.880 to say,

01:03:02.200 put your

01:03:02.440 popcorn down

01:03:03.040 and stand

01:03:03.340 up,

01:03:03.500 we're going

01:03:03.660 to play

01:03:04.180 our national

01:03:05.160 anthem,

01:03:05.360 because it

01:03:05.820 brings people

01:03:06.740 together.

01:03:08.660 But if you

01:03:09.440 are on the

01:03:10.180 other side

01:03:10.780 of this,

01:03:11.320 if you are

01:03:12.120 one of the

01:03:12.800 uber-leftists,

01:03:13.740 if you are

01:03:14.540 getting ready

01:03:15.500 for the

01:03:15.860 great reset,

01:03:16.900 the very

01:03:17.240 thing you

01:03:17.980 don't want

01:03:19.100 is people

01:03:19.860 coming together

01:03:20.920 with any

01:03:21.380 sense of

01:03:22.560 national

01:03:23.220 pride.

01:03:25.180 And I'll

01:03:25.500 tell you what

01:03:25.880 carries into

01:03:26.920 national pride,

01:03:28.400 and that is

01:03:29.280 acknowledging

01:03:30.340 people in

01:03:31.100 our communities,

01:03:32.280 whatever

01:03:32.500 community you

01:03:33.500 happen to

01:03:34.000 be in.

01:03:34.460 Now,

01:03:34.760 I happen to

01:03:35.320 be in this

01:03:36.240 wonderful little

01:03:37.320 part of the

01:03:38.040 country.

01:03:38.920 This is

01:03:39.240 Hanover County,

01:03:40.740 Virginia.

01:03:41.860 We're just

01:03:42.760 north of

01:03:43.460 Richmond,

01:03:43.940 and I do

01:03:44.280 the afternoon

01:03:44.820 show at

01:03:45.400 News Radio

01:03:45.920 WRVA in

01:03:47.480 Richmond.

01:03:48.540 And in our

01:03:49.180 little piece

01:03:50.100 of America

01:03:50.680 right here,

01:03:52.080 we know

01:03:52.880 people.

01:03:54.560 I go a

01:03:55.820 mile,

01:03:56.540 mile and a

01:03:57.060 half,

01:03:57.680 and I see

01:03:58.560 my friends

01:03:59.300 Wendy and

01:04:00.240 John.

01:04:01.540 Now,

01:04:02.160 if you

01:04:02.520 were visiting

01:04:03.140 this area,

01:04:03.820 you might

01:04:04.140 not know

01:04:04.660 Wendy and

01:04:05.220 John.

01:04:05.680 You would

01:04:06.160 know this

01:04:06.560 great little

01:04:07.520 restaurant with

01:04:08.460 the Jeff

01:04:08.800 Katz sandwich.

01:04:09.660 How cool is

01:04:10.200 that, right?

01:04:11.000 Jake's Place.

01:04:11.760 You would

01:04:12.000 know that.

01:04:12.840 But I know

01:04:13.360 them as

01:04:13.660 Wendy and

01:04:14.140 John.

01:04:14.600 And when

01:04:15.100 my car

01:04:15.840 needs to

01:04:16.300 be fixed,

01:04:18.820 I go and

01:04:19.620 I see my

01:04:20.120 friends,

01:04:21.140 Stan and

01:04:21.560 Megan.

01:04:22.160 Now,

01:04:22.620 God forbid

01:04:23.160 your car

01:04:23.900 broke down

01:04:24.720 in this

01:04:25.080 area.

01:04:25.840 You wouldn't

01:04:26.400 know Stan and

01:04:27.180 Megan.

01:04:27.700 You would

01:04:28.020 know their

01:04:28.340 business.

01:04:29.380 Certified auto

01:04:30.140 repair.

01:04:30.480 That's the

01:04:31.540 way it is

01:04:31.940 where you

01:04:32.380 are as

01:04:32.820 well.

01:04:33.500 The ABC

01:04:34.320 company that

01:04:35.120 I would

01:04:35.600 know if I

01:04:36.140 came to

01:04:36.540 your community,

01:04:37.460 you know

01:04:38.100 them as

01:04:38.800 Bill and

01:04:40.220 Mary.

01:04:41.000 Because Bill

01:04:41.820 and Mary go

01:04:42.520 to church

01:04:43.000 with you and

01:04:43.500 your kids

01:04:44.200 are students

01:04:46.500 together.

01:04:47.060 together.

01:04:48.160 That's what we

01:04:49.100 need to get

01:04:49.540 back to.

01:04:51.020 The sense of

01:04:52.180 community at

01:04:52.880 every single

01:04:53.600 level.

01:04:55.060 And it is

01:04:55.440 men and

01:04:55.920 women who

01:04:56.380 make things

01:04:57.140 and fix

01:04:57.740 things.

01:04:59.120 Who truly

01:05:00.260 are the

01:05:00.800 backbone of

01:05:01.680 this nation.

01:05:02.360 And by

01:05:02.660 God, we've

01:05:03.300 got to

01:05:03.980 provide some

01:05:06.460 support for

01:05:07.280 them.

01:05:08.640 Some

01:05:08.920 appreciation to

01:05:11.500 them.

01:05:11.780 888-727-BECK.

01:05:14.520 888-727-BECK.

01:05:16.300 888-727-BECK.

01:05:17.720 If you want to

01:05:18.080 send me an

01:05:18.440 email, the best

01:05:18.960 way to do it is

01:05:19.560 to go through my

01:05:20.720 website,

01:05:21.800 thejeffcatsshow.com.

01:05:24.020 thejeffcatsshow.com.

01:05:27.440 Donna is in

01:05:29.040 Georgia.

01:05:29.560 Donna, welcome

01:05:30.460 to the Glenn

01:05:30.840 Beth Program.

01:05:32.080 Oh, awesome

01:05:32.720 job, Jeff.

01:05:33.580 You know, I'm

01:05:34.340 going to combine

01:05:34.980 both last half

01:05:36.200 hour and this

01:05:36.760 one because you're

01:05:37.340 really hitting on

01:05:38.040 what is in my

01:05:38.940 heart.

01:05:39.540 When we grew

01:05:40.580 up and we

01:05:41.820 had hand

01:05:42.700 workers that

01:05:44.280 did that stuff,

01:05:44.980 my grandfather

01:05:45.580 would walk with

01:05:46.420 his ladder because

01:05:47.140 sometimes he didn't

01:05:48.020 have a car to get

01:05:49.120 to his job.

01:05:50.440 We knew all of

01:05:51.680 those people.

01:05:52.540 Us kids knew

01:05:53.580 Mr. and Mrs.

01:05:54.580 Jones and

01:05:55.080 Smith and

01:05:55.480 McGillicuddy.

01:05:56.020 We had ethnicities

01:05:57.180 from all around

01:05:58.140 the world who

01:05:59.160 they came or

01:06:00.300 their parents came.

01:06:01.700 We knew them.

01:06:02.600 We had to

01:06:03.020 respect them.

01:06:03.940 They watched

01:06:04.520 over us and

01:06:05.180 they told our

01:06:05.800 parents if we

01:06:06.540 were bad, if we

01:06:07.340 picked their

01:06:07.740 tomatoes out of

01:06:08.580 their garden or

01:06:09.640 whatever.

01:06:10.160 They were wonderful.

01:06:11.160 We felt like we

01:06:12.000 belonged and we

01:06:13.060 had to work in

01:06:13.860 that backyard just

01:06:15.020 like them so we

01:06:15.960 would see them on

01:06:16.780 the weekend if

01:06:17.420 they're pruning

01:06:17.840 their hedges and

01:06:19.100 we were either

01:06:19.780 sweeping the

01:06:20.800 sidewalk or whatever

01:06:21.720 our job was to

01:06:23.220 do.

01:06:23.980 They came home

01:06:25.600 in their car or

01:06:26.540 truck and they

01:06:27.480 opened the garage

01:06:28.240 door with their

01:06:28.820 own hands.

01:06:29.540 They didn't come

01:06:30.120 in with remote

01:06:30.700 control, drive up

01:06:31.820 to the mailbox and

01:06:32.760 clean it out with

01:06:33.760 their earbuds on as

01:06:34.960 I'm yelling over,

01:06:35.860 hi Mr. Jones.

01:06:36.820 They actually heard

01:06:37.800 me and they came

01:06:38.540 over and talked to

01:06:39.440 me.

01:06:40.100 So we have lost

01:06:41.240 that with our

01:06:41.920 white collar elitism

01:06:44.260 and we've grown up

01:06:45.800 in that.

01:06:46.320 We did that.

01:06:47.360 But we've lost

01:06:48.560 that because now

01:06:49.320 they don't want to

01:06:50.080 dirty their hands.

01:06:50.780 We had to dirty

01:06:51.700 our hands as

01:06:52.440 kids.

01:06:52.960 So we and what

01:06:53.960 you explained about

01:06:54.800 the small town with

01:06:55.860 that, we used to

01:06:56.940 walk to the

01:06:57.460 playgrounds, the

01:06:58.200 ball fields.

01:06:58.820 Our parents didn't

01:06:59.540 drive us in a

01:07:00.360 giant SUV three

01:07:01.340 miles away to have

01:07:02.460 somebody come from

01:07:03.200 another town and

01:07:04.580 that works.

01:07:05.240 They work for

01:07:05.700 national and

01:07:06.460 international

01:07:07.000 companies.

01:07:07.740 It's not their

01:07:08.280 business like your

01:07:09.100 wonderful worker.

01:07:09.980 So we have lost a

01:07:12.580 huge sense of

01:07:13.960 community and

01:07:14.800 connectiveness and

01:07:15.820 caring about each

01:07:16.740 other.

01:07:17.080 Donna, you are so

01:07:18.640 spot on and you

01:07:19.440 said it better than I

01:07:20.280 could.

01:07:20.480 Let me ask you a

01:07:21.380 question.

01:07:22.480 When you were a

01:07:24.400 kid, did your

01:07:25.940 parents ever make a

01:07:27.860 play date for you

01:07:29.780 and one of your

01:07:30.560 friends?

01:07:32.260 Of course they

01:07:33.500 didn't.

01:07:34.140 You know why?

01:07:35.160 Because there was

01:07:36.620 no such thing.

01:07:37.300 Because you walked

01:07:38.260 out the door and

01:07:39.840 there were your

01:07:40.960 friends and you

01:07:42.720 played with them.

01:07:44.340 There was no

01:07:45.380 coordination in the

01:07:46.860 home office.

01:07:47.720 Well, all right,

01:07:48.620 mom's going to call

01:07:49.260 the other mom and

01:07:50.000 we're going to see.

01:07:50.660 How does Tuesday at

01:07:51.780 three look for you?

01:07:52.860 Who cares?

01:07:53.960 You're a kid.

01:07:55.840 You don't need

01:07:57.280 Outlook calendar.

01:07:59.500 You don't need the

01:08:01.520 to the second

01:08:03.020 management.

01:08:04.240 And we have lost

01:08:05.520 that.

01:08:07.160 And we are too

01:08:08.520 well coordinated.

01:08:09.840 And we do have a

01:08:12.960 generation now,

01:08:14.840 sadly, I think,

01:08:17.000 who has grown up

01:08:19.000 never knowing

01:08:20.680 anything other than

01:08:21.640 that.

01:08:22.960 Look, my wife and

01:08:24.960 I are in a mixed

01:08:25.760 marriage.

01:08:26.720 I talk about this

01:08:27.600 all the time.

01:08:28.760 She's from this

01:08:29.480 bucolic little town

01:08:30.920 in Cape Cod.

01:08:33.360 The doors were

01:08:34.700 never locked.

01:08:35.880 I grew up in the

01:08:39.000 city.

01:08:39.360 Now, not the

01:08:39.880 inner city, as

01:08:41.300 you might describe

01:08:42.160 it, but in the

01:08:43.040 city.

01:08:44.420 And all of our

01:08:45.640 doors were locked

01:08:46.740 just because.

01:08:49.580 But we had

01:08:50.940 this in common.

01:08:53.180 She would leave

01:08:54.680 her home at some

01:08:56.200 point and wander

01:08:57.080 throughout the town

01:08:58.120 and play with her

01:08:59.460 friends as a little

01:09:00.360 girl.

01:09:01.640 And while my

01:09:03.100 buddies and I

01:09:03.840 were not

01:09:04.360 wandering all of

01:09:06.500 Philadelphia for a

01:09:08.980 five, six block

01:09:10.060 radius, we just go

01:09:12.780 and see other

01:09:13.340 buddies.

01:09:14.900 And I don't think

01:09:15.500 anybody's got that

01:09:16.300 anymore, do they?

01:09:17.540 Mary Lynn is in

01:09:18.560 Tennessee.

01:09:19.080 Mary Lynn, welcome

01:09:19.840 to the Glenn Beck

01:09:20.640 program.

01:09:21.940 Good morning, Jeff.

01:09:23.260 I struck a chord

01:09:25.360 with me when you

01:09:26.240 were speaking of

01:09:27.520 patriotism.

01:09:29.740 And I do believe

01:09:32.120 there is this

01:09:33.540 intrepid fear of

01:09:35.880 it.

01:09:36.560 Okay.

01:09:37.260 And what they're

01:09:38.340 fearful of is the

01:09:39.420 light and the

01:09:40.260 truth.

01:09:41.160 And what is

01:09:42.260 lacking is

01:09:44.720 spirituality and

01:09:47.500 morality.

01:09:48.620 Mm-hmm.

01:09:49.500 And growing up

01:09:51.520 in Chicago, I

01:09:53.120 mean, we had

01:09:53.880 Jewish, Italian,

01:09:57.220 Polish,

01:09:58.220 Lithuanian, Greek,

01:10:00.340 Hungarian, and

01:10:01.860 everybody was

01:10:03.180 cohesive with each

01:10:04.140 other.

01:10:04.720 The children would

01:10:05.400 get out, and I

01:10:06.340 have to pare it

01:10:07.040 down as comments

01:10:08.500 because we would

01:10:10.560 not have to have

01:10:11.360 anything organized.

01:10:13.460 We'd be out there

01:10:14.860 and it was just

01:10:17.120 a dynamic

01:10:18.780 patch quilt.

01:10:21.160 Yeah.

01:10:21.520 of how beautiful

01:10:22.840 our nation is.

01:10:25.240 And personally,

01:10:26.880 affiliated with the

01:10:27.880 military, our

01:10:29.220 immediate family,

01:10:30.160 over a century,

01:10:31.720 my heart swells

01:10:34.500 with patriotism.

01:10:36.200 And if I see

01:10:36.940 anybody that

01:10:37.760 serves, be it

01:10:38.660 police,

01:10:40.140 firefighter,

01:10:40.980 EMS,

01:10:42.200 whomever,

01:10:43.460 military, I go

01:10:44.620 out of my way

01:10:45.500 to say,

01:10:46.520 thank you,

01:10:47.500 bud, for

01:10:47.860 serving.

01:10:48.880 Yeah.

01:10:48.980 It is something

01:10:50.420 that we need

01:10:51.740 to cling to

01:10:52.780 with every

01:10:54.640 sinew,

01:10:55.500 every strength

01:10:57.380 in our body

01:10:58.240 and embrace it,

01:11:00.620 not erase it.

01:11:02.300 I couldn't

01:11:03.180 possibly agree

01:11:03.960 with you more.

01:11:04.520 Mary Lynn,

01:11:05.020 thank you so much

01:11:05.960 for calling.

01:11:06.520 We do need to

01:11:08.460 embrace it

01:11:09.120 because it

01:11:10.980 embraces us.

01:11:13.080 You know,

01:11:13.820 we have gotten

01:11:14.640 so self-centered.

01:11:17.340 We have become

01:11:18.580 so

01:11:19.640 egomaniacal.

01:11:22.460 We don't see

01:11:23.600 things outside

01:11:24.860 of us anymore,

01:11:25.720 do we?

01:11:26.340 And I'd love

01:11:29.540 to tell you

01:11:30.100 that I'm

01:11:31.640 different,

01:11:32.180 but then isn't

01:11:32.720 that the whole

01:11:33.600 thing?

01:11:34.020 Well, I'm

01:11:34.500 self-centered

01:11:34.960 again.

01:11:35.280 It's egomania.

01:11:36.460 I'm going to

01:11:36.720 tell you how

01:11:37.160 great I am

01:11:38.080 about not

01:11:39.020 being self-centered.

01:11:40.420 Well, how

01:11:41.140 unbelievably

01:11:42.380 disconnected is

01:11:43.340 that?

01:11:44.480 I can tell

01:11:45.580 you just

01:11:47.580 through the

01:11:48.040 prism of

01:11:48.580 life,

01:11:50.340 there was

01:11:51.200 a time,

01:11:51.880 boy,

01:11:52.120 there was

01:11:52.520 nobody,

01:11:53.560 nobody,

01:11:54.880 who was a

01:11:55.680 bigger Jeff

01:11:56.300 Katz fan

01:11:57.040 than Jeff

01:11:57.480 Katz.

01:11:58.040 Oh, man,

01:11:59.240 I could

01:11:59.920 sit and

01:12:00.480 talk to

01:12:00.920 you about

01:12:01.440 me for

01:12:01.960 hours,

01:12:02.840 and then

01:12:03.760 I would

01:12:04.120 ask you,

01:12:04.780 what do

01:12:05.000 you think

01:12:05.420 about me?

01:12:07.540 And then

01:12:08.440 what happens?

01:12:10.420 In my

01:12:10.900 case,

01:12:11.660 I get

01:12:12.020 married.

01:12:13.480 But even

01:12:13.940 then,

01:12:14.400 it's still

01:12:14.880 egotistical.

01:12:17.000 It just

01:12:17.460 happens to

01:12:17.880 be two

01:12:18.360 egos now,

01:12:19.460 right?

01:12:19.920 Well,

01:12:20.240 now we're

01:12:20.520 two egos,

01:12:21.100 and we can

01:12:21.320 focus on

01:12:21.740 ourselves,

01:12:22.360 but we're

01:12:22.620 still focused

01:12:23.240 on,

01:12:23.740 okay.

01:12:24.140 and then

01:12:25.800 the kids

01:12:28.120 come along,

01:12:29.220 and there

01:12:29.760 is no

01:12:30.440 greater

01:12:31.320 wake-up

01:12:32.120 call,

01:12:32.520 there is

01:12:32.960 no

01:12:33.480 better

01:12:34.080 realization

01:12:35.200 that it

01:12:36.520 is not

01:12:36.980 all about

01:12:37.520 you once

01:12:38.420 you realize

01:12:39.160 there's an

01:12:39.720 obligation

01:12:40.300 to others.

01:12:42.880 I think

01:12:43.580 we've

01:12:43.800 forgotten

01:12:44.100 that,

01:12:44.800 and I

01:12:45.600 do believe

01:12:46.200 we're so

01:12:46.640 wrapped up

01:12:47.120 in ourselves,

01:12:47.880 we can't

01:12:48.680 see that

01:12:49.260 from

01:12:50.420 outside,

01:12:51.620 we are

01:12:52.000 unified

01:12:52.500 by certain

01:12:53.500 actions.

01:12:54.240 Quickly

01:12:54.500 to Daniel

01:12:55.600 in North

01:12:56.280 Carolina.

01:12:57.100 Daniel,

01:12:57.720 welcome

01:12:58.220 to the

01:12:58.780 Glenn Beck

01:12:59.180 program.

01:13:01.040 Hey,

01:13:01.320 thanks,

01:13:01.660 Jeff.

01:13:01.900 I'm agreeing

01:13:02.760 with everything

01:13:03.520 you've said

01:13:04.080 so far.

01:13:05.000 Thank you,

01:13:05.340 sir.

01:13:05.780 I'm a

01:13:06.980 jack-of-all-trades.

01:13:08.980 I'm a

01:13:09.660 maintenance

01:13:10.040 professional,

01:13:11.520 and I wear

01:13:12.620 a flag on

01:13:13.260 my hat,

01:13:13.840 I have a

01:13:14.880 flag on

01:13:15.340 my pickup

01:13:15.820 truck,

01:13:16.560 and I

01:13:18.320 am a

01:13:19.520 big believer

01:13:20.100 in hard

01:13:21.220 work.

01:13:21.600 Whatever

01:13:22.080 you do,

01:13:22.940 whatever

01:13:23.140 you choose

01:13:23.680 to do

01:13:23.960 for a

01:13:24.280 career,

01:13:24.640 you work

01:13:24.960 hard at

01:13:25.400 it.

01:13:26.480 I do

01:13:27.200 get

01:13:27.460 looked down

01:13:28.140 sometimes

01:13:28.640 because I

01:13:29.220 do have

01:13:29.660 dirt on

01:13:30.100 my clothes,

01:13:30.940 especially

01:13:31.400 as the

01:13:33.020 day goes

01:13:33.480 on and

01:13:33.840 they get

01:13:34.180 dirtier and

01:13:34.740 dirtier.

01:13:35.220 I do

01:13:35.480 jobs that

01:13:36.160 nobody else

01:13:36.880 wants to

01:13:37.320 do.

01:13:38.500 There are

01:13:39.900 a lot of

01:13:40.280 people who

01:13:40.760 don't understand

01:13:41.660 that people

01:13:42.280 like me

01:13:43.000 are needed

01:13:43.660 out there.

01:13:45.560 A lot

01:13:45.960 of the

01:13:46.420 kids I

01:13:47.320 talk to

01:13:47.800 don't

01:13:48.180 understand

01:13:48.780 that they

01:13:49.200 can't all

01:13:49.880 be lawyers,

01:13:51.120 doctors,

01:13:51.600 and what

01:13:52.600 not.

01:13:53.060 There are

01:13:53.540 people that

01:13:54.020 are going

01:13:54.340 to have

01:13:54.680 to be

01:13:54.980 skilled

01:13:55.300 trades.

01:15:02.780 Jeff Katz

01:15:03.420 ordinarily heard

01:15:04.220 on News

01:15:04.520 Radio WRVA

01:15:05.420 in Central

01:15:06.760 Virginia.

01:15:07.820 I do have

01:15:08.880 somebody calling

01:15:09.940 in from

01:15:10.680 Richmond so

01:15:11.560 please let me

01:15:12.580 get to Steve

01:15:13.760 who was in

01:15:14.260 Richmond on

01:15:15.300 the Glenn Beck

01:15:15.780 program.

01:15:16.320 Steve.

01:15:17.780 Hello sir.

01:15:18.580 How are you

01:15:18.940 today?

01:15:19.640 I am fine.

01:15:20.280 Thank you.

01:15:21.840 I just I

01:15:23.040 was listening

01:15:23.880 in and really

01:15:25.340 agree with what

01:15:26.140 you're saying.

01:15:26.840 You know and

01:15:27.340 I actually

01:15:28.500 worked in

01:15:29.580 construction as

01:15:30.440 a plumber and

01:15:31.040 as an HVAC

01:15:31.840 tech as a

01:15:32.500 teenager and

01:15:33.200 then ended up

01:15:33.800 joining the

01:15:34.300 Army and went

01:15:34.860 in the security

01:15:35.440 route later

01:15:36.580 on but I

01:15:37.240 still know how

01:15:37.780 to do my

01:15:38.220 own work and

01:15:39.240 a couple months

01:15:40.000 ago I was

01:15:40.720 fixing a shower

01:15:41.640 diverter an

01:15:42.260 old one and

01:15:43.260 had to go to

01:15:43.800 a specialty

01:15:44.300 store and

01:15:44.980 get the

01:15:45.340 diverters to

01:15:47.380 get the valves

01:15:48.400 to put in the

01:15:48.960 diverters and

01:15:50.040 the guy had a

01:15:51.240 great conversation

01:15:52.120 with the guy

01:15:52.740 that lasted

01:15:53.160 about 10

01:15:53.720 minutes just

01:15:54.320 while I was

01:15:54.900 waiting and

01:15:55.860 he said that

01:15:56.440 the thing you're

01:15:57.180 seeing you're

01:15:57.880 not seeing young

01:15:58.960 guys come into

01:15:59.800 the trade and

01:16:00.500 the old guys

01:16:01.260 are retiring

01:16:02.020 two to one

01:16:03.380 for how many

01:16:04.640 people are

01:16:05.120 entering the

01:16:05.680 trade and he

01:16:06.360 said you give

01:16:06.900 it 10 years

01:16:07.660 mark my words

01:16:08.600 and plumbers are

01:16:09.720 going to be

01:16:10.040 making as much

01:16:10.860 as lawyers

01:16:11.380 because nobody

01:16:12.640 wants to do

01:16:13.280 the work

01:16:13.760 yeah well and

01:16:15.660 and good for

01:16:16.640 them good for

01:16:18.300 them it is as

01:16:20.380 you know tough

01:16:21.640 work and I

01:16:22.260 appreciate the

01:16:22.980 call Steve thank

01:16:23.840 you so much it

01:16:24.560 is tough work

01:16:25.520 and again I

01:16:26.600 started all of

01:16:27.320 this by mentioning

01:16:28.100 my uncle Paul

01:16:29.140 I loved my

01:16:30.500 uncle Paul

01:16:31.080 god did I love

01:16:32.040 my uncle Paul

01:16:32.800 such a great

01:16:33.620 guy and I

01:16:34.740 watched him

01:16:35.620 break his rear

01:16:37.300 end just

01:16:38.500 working so

01:16:40.320 hard as a

01:16:41.140 plumber and I

01:16:42.240 saw up close

01:16:43.140 and personal

01:16:43.900 but I also

01:16:45.560 heard from

01:16:46.120 folks in my

01:16:46.760 uncle Paul's

01:16:47.400 generation oh

01:16:48.100 don't work with

01:16:48.720 your hands we

01:16:50.200 want you to

01:16:50.640 work with your

01:16:51.200 head not your

01:16:52.000 hands it's

01:16:52.560 easier it's

01:16:53.540 easier well I

01:16:55.580 suppose it is

01:16:56.220 easier until

01:16:57.400 such time as

01:16:58.140 you need

01:16:58.520 somebody who

01:16:59.160 knows how to

01:16:59.700 work with their

01:17:00.360 hands and then

01:17:02.000 it may it may

01:17:03.140 not be easy and

01:17:04.420 it's certainly

01:17:05.000 not going to be

01:17:05.780 inexpensive nor

01:17:07.380 should it be it

01:17:08.820 is Jeff Katz in

01:17:10.200 today for Glenn

01:17:11.280 this is the

01:17:12.760 Glenn Beck

01:17:13.200 program this is

01:17:16.000 Jeff Katz in

01:17:16.980 today for Glenn

01:17:18.300 so which is it

01:17:20.420 Dr. Fauci we

01:17:21.620 should or we

01:17:22.860 shouldn't open

01:17:23.800 schools that

01:17:24.880 answers next the

01:17:26.020 Glenn Beck

01:17:26.420 program

01:17:26.940 the Glenn Beck

01:17:31.780 program

01:17:32.400 it is Jeff

01:17:34.440 Katz in today

01:17:35.360 for Glenn and

01:17:36.920 I want to tell

01:17:37.980 you that at

01:17:39.360 the very very

01:17:40.500 beginning of this

01:17:41.380 my three children

01:17:43.660 are as we speak

01:17:45.320 at home

01:17:46.720 now nobody has

01:17:48.520 school today

01:17:49.620 and it's not

01:17:51.540 because of

01:17:52.000 President's Day

01:17:52.680 no no no I

01:17:53.620 mean it's it's

01:17:55.240 various and sundry

01:17:56.500 reasons but what's

01:17:57.400 weird is even if

01:17:58.100 they would have

01:17:58.440 had school nobody

01:18:00.020 would have left

01:18:00.540 the house

01:18:01.240 my oldest boy

01:18:03.940 is a sophomore

01:18:04.700 at Stanford

01:18:05.520 and that campus

01:18:07.500 has essentially

01:18:08.840 been closed

01:18:10.040 for well the

01:18:11.660 better part of a

01:18:12.320 year right

01:18:12.820 in in March just

01:18:15.060 a couple of weeks

01:18:15.840 from now you and

01:18:16.980 I will be celebrating

01:18:18.140 the one year

01:18:18.760 anniversary of two

01:18:19.740 weeks to flatten

01:18:20.700 the curve

01:18:21.500 and my my oldest

01:18:23.800 boy called me I'm

01:18:25.040 now realizing last

01:18:26.140 year and he said

01:18:26.740 hey dad looks like

01:18:29.140 they're going to be

01:18:29.560 closing the campus

01:18:30.580 for a couple of

01:18:31.980 weeks can you get

01:18:33.760 me a ticket can you

01:18:35.180 get me an airline

01:18:35.860 ticket home and I

01:18:37.860 thought wow for the

01:18:39.000 first time in many

01:18:40.220 many years I actually

01:18:42.120 have some power in

01:18:43.560 this relationship I

01:18:44.720 could at least in

01:18:45.740 theory say no and

01:18:47.760 I know I guess I

01:18:48.720 couldn't I mean I

01:18:49.800 could no no no

01:18:51.020 never mind I

01:18:51.440 couldn't I couldn't

01:18:52.200 all right so so he

01:18:53.600 gets the the airplane

01:18:54.700 ticket and he comes

01:18:55.300 home now what does he

01:18:56.500 have he has a carry-on

01:18:57.820 like a backpack and

01:19:00.520 he's got shorts and

01:19:02.200 t-shirts because that's

01:19:04.040 what he was wearing in

01:19:06.080 March out in California

01:19:08.960 and he comes back here

01:19:11.220 to Virginia and shorts

01:19:14.200 and t-shirts in another

01:19:17.020 couple of weeks before we

01:19:18.060 would officially be

01:19:18.800 wearing them but not too

01:19:19.800 far off the mark well

01:19:21.340 now it's a year later

01:19:23.980 and no idea none when

01:19:28.240 he will actually be back

01:19:30.600 on campus my two other

01:19:34.460 kids each attend school

01:19:37.720 well they're enrolled in

01:19:39.720 school nobody's actually

01:19:41.940 attending school school in

01:19:44.640 person my little guy is a

01:19:48.460 sophomore in high school

01:19:49.860 but he has been doing

01:19:53.100 the at-home virtual

01:19:56.120 learning and I should be

01:19:59.300 very clear on this our

01:20:00.860 county Hanover County

01:20:03.500 which is just north of

01:20:05.160 Richmond where you will

01:20:06.440 find me on news radio

01:20:07.620 WRVA every afternoon

01:20:10.520 Hanover County since all of

01:20:13.300 this started has given us

01:20:15.100 the option given parents the

01:20:16.500 option of sending their

01:20:18.640 children to school in

01:20:21.900 person living in an actual

01:20:23.900 school building or virtual

01:20:26.440 education at home on the

01:20:29.340 computer and then in the

01:20:33.700 middle is my princess well

01:20:37.140 my princess my little girl who

01:20:40.080 is going to be 18 years old in

01:20:42.820 just a couple of weeks my

01:20:46.020 little girl not so little

01:20:49.480 anymore as she turns 18 but

01:20:51.780 that's 18 chronologically

01:20:54.780 developmentally she's about

01:20:58.280 18 months old and that's where

01:21:01.220 Julia is always going to be

01:21:03.160 about 18 months old

01:21:05.160 developmentally because Julia

01:21:08.120 only learned how to walk in the

01:21:10.240 last couple of years and Julia

01:21:13.300 does not speak Julia doesn't

01:21:18.940 know how to take care of

01:21:21.780 herself you know she she can't

01:21:23.540 get to the bathroom or give

01:21:27.260 herself a bowl of cereal and

01:21:29.560 unfortunately she also she can't

01:21:31.340 tell us those things so Julia is

01:21:35.060 always going to be at home with us

01:21:36.340 and so I guess in some way this is

01:21:38.200 you know it is what it is but the

01:21:41.660 reason I mention all of this is

01:21:43.480 that each of my three children has a

01:21:47.140 unique educational need my oldest

01:21:52.840 guy needs to be back on campus with

01:21:58.360 other brilliant but thoroughly

01:22:01.440 annoying college students that's

01:22:04.200 where he should be he should not be

01:22:07.940 living at home nobody who is an

01:22:13.700 adult should be living at home with

01:22:17.600 mom or dad just no you you need to go

01:22:23.420 out in the world and make your way in

01:22:26.320 the world so he should be out there

01:22:29.280 with him

01:22:30.960 and my little guy again he's a

01:22:37.140 sophomore in high school he needs to

01:22:40.900 be in a classroom but here's where the

01:22:44.260 rub is and I know because you're

01:22:45.440 you're thinking so wait a minute Jeff

01:22:46.800 you just said you just said that your

01:22:50.080 county Panover County Virginia since day

01:22:53.140 one has given you as the parent the

01:22:56.660 option that's true but the option we

01:23:02.180 chose was the at-home learning because

01:23:05.720 of the fear that had been instilled in

01:23:10.980 all of us thanks to folks like dr.

01:23:13.600 Fauci right what were we told well this

01:23:18.260 this coronavirus now remember it started

01:23:22.200 out as every single virus has been

01:23:29.620 named in the past it started out with

01:23:31.540 its point of origin the Wuhan

01:23:33.580 coronavirus all right just like Lyme

01:23:37.120 disease

01:23:38.020 the Spanish flu I mean that's how things

01:23:44.100 are named in the in the disease world

01:23:46.780 good bad or indifferent just the way it

01:23:48.340 is but then because of the control of

01:23:54.460 who World Health Organization by the

01:23:58.640 leadership of the Chinese Communist

01:24:00.940 Party they were able to exert some

01:24:04.120 influence and the next thing you know

01:24:05.540 instead of being the Wuhan coronavirus or

01:24:08.440 the Chinese coronavirus all of a sudden it

01:24:11.420 was the novel coronavirus and then they

01:24:14.500 said hey you know that's people are

01:24:16.680 gonna think it's a book we need

01:24:18.040 something snappier and they went to the

01:24:20.500 division of snappy stuff and the snappy

01:24:23.580 folks said hey COVID see get it

01:24:25.860 coronavirus and what's the d4 well we

01:24:29.740 haven't figured that out yet we got to

01:24:31.080 send that off to the other part but

01:24:32.420 COVID-19 yeah we're going with 19 woohoo

01:24:35.180 all right so now there it is because

01:24:37.000 it's first observed in 2019 but they

01:24:39.400 scared the living you know what out of

01:24:42.860 us right well we're all scared oh my gosh

01:24:44.640 we're gonna get it we're gonna die well

01:24:46.760 I don't like the odds on this it's not

01:24:48.660 good well here's what we're gonna have

01:24:51.320 to do everybody's got to stay at home

01:24:53.040 all we need is two weeks two weeks to

01:24:56.180 quote flatten the curve now here's the

01:24:58.840 deal I've been around the block once or

01:25:00.680 twice I know how government works and by

01:25:05.040 the way my dad retired after 40 plus

01:25:07.720 years as an employee of the federal

01:25:10.740 government I know that folks who work

01:25:14.380 for the federal government are actually

01:25:15.580 pretty good people but I also know that

01:25:20.220 inside of quote government work sometimes

01:25:23.700 the numbers get a little off so when

01:25:25.900 they said we're gonna need two weeks to

01:25:28.020 flatten the curve I thought to myself

01:25:30.520 okay I'm thinking three four you know

01:25:35.700 what let's just err on the sign of

01:25:38.140 caught I'm gonna say five weeks it's

01:25:40.120 gonna take them five weeks for the two

01:25:41.800 week project and then we'll all be back to

01:25:44.200 to good well don't know if you've

01:25:48.760 noticed this we are now approaching the

01:25:51.280 one-year anniversary of two weeks to

01:25:53.920 flatten the curve and so when our local

01:26:00.300 school division said to us hey parents

01:26:06.120 you can send your kids to school or you

01:26:10.200 can have the virtual learning my wife

01:26:13.780 said look if we send the kids to school

01:26:17.580 meaning my middle and youngest my my

01:26:22.920 Julia and my my little guy if we send

01:26:29.380 them to school I am going to worry every

01:26:33.140 single day every single day as to

01:26:41.020 whether they were exposed to this and

01:26:43.480 especially Julia now I just mentioned to

01:26:47.800 you Julia is going to turn 18 years old

01:26:51.700 in a couple of weeks but developmentally

01:26:56.520 Julia is 18 months old and what do 18

01:27:01.900 month old kids do what to toddlers do they

01:27:07.260 mouth things anything and everything they

01:27:10.880 can put their hands on goes in their mouth

01:27:13.240 boom now you're telling me that if we send

01:27:20.780 Julia to school she is somehow going to

01:27:25.700 have such great sanitary precautions that

01:27:29.920 we don't have to worry about that well no

01:27:32.000 that's not going to happen and it's not

01:27:34.840 because of the the teacher in fact Julia's in

01:27:38.880 class special ed teacher is truly one of

01:27:43.340 the best human beings we've ever met miss

01:27:46.840 Tanya is an amazing teacher incredible but

01:27:52.320 do you think that any human being can make

01:27:55.280 sure that each of the kids in this

01:27:58.880 classroom who are at comparable levels are

01:28:03.100 not somehow going to be exposed to this

01:28:04.940 the answer is no and so Heidi said look I

01:28:08.520 just I don't want to worry every single

01:28:10.620 day it's going to be terrible and she

01:28:14.080 said we've just got to do this virtual

01:28:16.280 learning thing we'll just do it at home

01:28:18.260 you know it's not going to be that long

01:28:19.980 so that's what we did and that's where we

01:28:22.180 are well look Julia needs more than a

01:28:27.320 half an hour seated in front of a laptop

01:28:29.980 because that's what she's getting and

01:28:33.500 Heidi's doing her best I know to make it

01:28:36.660 school but it is what it is and my little

01:28:43.660 guy has got to be back with other kids his

01:28:48.800 age you know they he's got to be involved

01:28:53.180 in social things as well as learning now I

01:28:57.920 raise all of these issues not to to preach

01:29:01.980 or get angry or or tell you oh my gosh

01:29:04.720 feel sorry for me don't feel sorry for

01:29:06.760 me but I'm looking at the latest from

01:29:09.760 Dr. Fauci remember him you remember him

01:29:15.400 right Dr. Fauci said and I quote if you

01:29:22.940 look at the data the spread among children

01:29:26.800 and from children is not really very big at

01:29:30.340 all not like one would have suspected well

01:29:35.140 that was Dr. Fauci then then but now that

01:29:43.540 Dr. Fauci is all the rage with Joe Biden now

01:29:51.960 Dr. Fauci says yeah we we can't open things up until

01:29:56.700 that two trillion dollar COVID package that my boss the

01:30:02.100 president wants passes huh quote schools need more resources

01:30:11.700 obviously it's not a perfect situation but it's really important to get the

01:30:18.420 children back to school in the safest way possible well yeah I mean that's what we

01:30:25.800 all have said right November the 29th Dr. Fauci said close the bars and keep the

01:30:35.940 schools open but now he says we we we can't go back oh no not a chance

01:30:47.160 well how is this going to work and if you want to read meat more on this

01:30:53.940 particular story do yourself a favor head on over to theblaze.com theblaze.com

01:30:59.960 that's where you're going to find the story but how does this work if in fact we're not

01:31:06.800 going to reopen these schools anytime soon are we really prepared for a generation that

01:31:14.800 is uneducated and not capable of working in the future could anybody say the great reset again

01:31:26.960 we've got to pause 10 seconds for station identification

01:31:30.960 Jeff Gatz in today for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program that is my question to you what exactly

01:31:48.660 are we ready for are we ready for anything because if my kids are not getting back to school anytime soon

01:31:56.000 and your kids are not getting back to school anytime soon exactly what happens when they are

01:32:01.920 forced to participate in the real world if in fact they are ever going to be forced to participate

01:32:08.420 in the real world you hear Glenn talk about it all the time do you not the great reset

01:32:15.140 I listen to Glenn every single day and I hear him talking about the great reset and what the great

01:32:22.060 reset is truly honestly all about is making people dependent and making sure that people who ought not

01:32:30.900 be dependent are dependent and what are we going to ask well not much I mean your complete and total

01:32:41.900 dependency that actually is a big thing to ask it is a big thing to say hey you cannot make any decisions

01:32:49.720 on your own you will not make any decisions on your own but not to worry we'll make sure that you have

01:32:54.420 food what kind of food doesn't matter it's not your choice to make this is the great reset we'll decide

01:33:00.740 what you need when you need it how you need it we'll decide what you get did it ever occur to you as you look

01:33:09.100 around the world right now you look at images around the world all of these leaders and yeah I'm making

01:33:16.420 those annoying air quotes when I say leaders all of these politicians probably a better way to say it

01:33:22.120 whether it is the Prime Minister of New Zealand or Justin Trudeau the clown prince up in Canada or our

01:33:30.240 very own Joe Biden standing with signs using the phrase build back better do you think that each of the

01:33:42.940 national political brain trust just individually came up with that phrase build back better oh that

01:33:50.640 sounds good what does it mean it means hit the button it means hit the reset button hit the great

01:33:58.540 reset button and everybody becomes dependent that is where we're headed right about now and that is a huge

01:34:08.940 huge huge problem I mentioned a couple of moments ago that

01:34:15.240 men who work and I mean really work I don't mean like me sitting in in front of a computer screen

01:34:26.260 yakking into a microphone that's that's not really work don't tell my wife that but it's not really work

01:34:34.460 but I mean people who really work fixing things making things I mentioned that this past weekend as

01:34:42.100 we're dealing with weather issues here in central Virginia our our heat pump stop pumping heat or at

01:34:50.900 least that's what we thought it wasn't really the case but I I called the guy that owns the HVAC

01:34:57.260 company that services our stuff and he answered his phone and he called me you know yeah and I said

01:35:03.780 well what are you doing what kind of what kind of a business owner are you Stefan you own the company

01:35:09.660 you're not supposed to be running service calls in the middle of an ice storm on a Saturday and he's

01:35:15.760 like well yep that's what I do because I do own the company and and I take my service weekends just like

01:35:23.540 everybody who works for me and I thought wow that's amazing and then Paul sends me this this

01:35:30.420 note he says Jeff look you started that story can you finish it please what's the deal with your heat

01:35:34.580 pump the deal is we're fine a uh I'm embarrassed to say this do I have to say it I'll say it out loud

01:35:40.940 the uh circuit breaker trips all right let's move on now I know I'm right I should have checked the

01:35:47.620 circuit breaker first but I didn't and so afterwards so that's all it was thank you

01:35:54.180 but that's why you need somebody who knows how these things work because guys like me who really

01:36:02.340 did listen to my parents when they said oh no no no work with your head not with your hands work smarter

01:36:10.260 not harder not harder people like me have to call people who know these things and ask them to please

01:36:19.540 come and fix these things just occurred to me how many lawyers does it take to install a toilet

01:36:30.660 you know what the answer is I have no idea because I've never seen a lawyer install a toilet think about

01:36:37.780 that so when do we get our kids back to school let me let me ask you depending on where you are

01:36:45.860 you might be in a homeschooling situation boy I hope you are and I mean a real homeschooling

01:36:52.740 situation where you are actually educating those kids because my hat is off to you because

01:36:56.820 I could never do it and I'm seeing now maybe we should have but we didn't and I can't

01:37:02.340 wait are you in a private school where your your son your daughter is actually in a classroom with

01:37:09.780 the teacher learning or are your kids sitting in front of their laptops pretending because I think there's a

01:39:42.180 jeff cat sitting in today for glenn this is the glenn beck program

01:39:50.760 trying to figure out here if our kids ever actually do make a back to school this has been

01:40:01.760 the question and i want to share a quick email that uh came in and uh this is uh from mary mary rose

01:40:11.040 out in idaho this is jeff i am listening to you fill in for glenn today where i live in idaho

01:40:19.960 cordelaine we go to school four days per week i am a special ed teacher my kids are pre-k

01:40:29.200 and we are in school all this school year we don't wear masks although we have the wear mask signs up in

01:40:38.580 restaurants and stores i'm always wondering it when it will end due to other people driving here just

01:40:46.880 to have the freedom

01:40:48.000 i don't know i don't know i do know however she says that washington dc will eventually stop the

01:40:59.960 freedom we in idaho have what a sad thing to think about but she's probably right i mean what is the

01:41:06.960 latest that we are hearing from washington these days we're hearing now hearing now that we well

01:41:15.100 you know we we've got to wear two masks we had the one mask situation

01:41:20.760 and then we heard the other day well two masks you've got to wear two masks because clearly two masks

01:41:28.280 are better than one and using that logic let's not kid ourselves three masks are going to be better

01:41:34.440 than two and four masks will be better than three and it at some point how many masks will you and i

01:41:44.860 need to simply exist in the world will we be allowed to exist in the world far be it for me to tell

01:41:54.080 any of the scientists the medical professionals how many masks are optimal but i do know this

01:42:04.700 one of the things that i learned over the years because i haven't always been in the radio business

01:42:13.320 right i was a police officer i trained as an emt i have uh been a volunteer for years and years and years

01:42:23.900 with uh various and sundry emergency response teams right so i've always had a real mask right because

01:42:36.440 i have legitimately been concerned about germs i've been concerned about particulates in the air

01:42:46.780 so when all of this stuff started and they're like you gotta wear masks i thought well you know what

01:42:54.040 finally probably for the first time in my life i'm ahead of the curve on something i already have

01:43:00.900 my masks i've already got them i've already got the right kind of mask for a situation like this

01:43:15.200 right i already have the kn95 mask i've got a couple of them as a matter of fact

01:43:28.880 but then i started looking at folks who were also quote wearing masks and i thought to myself now wait a

01:43:40.580 minute that's not a mask that's not a mask i mean it was it was almost like that that australian guy

01:43:48.720 in crocodile dundee that's not a knife this is a knife and i thought to myself that's not a mask

01:43:54.180 this is a mask but then i realized there are a lot of people with those masks and very few people

01:44:00.800 with the masks that i had and then even for those people who are quote wearing the mask they're not

01:44:10.140 wearing it properly it is not a headband it doesn't do any good if you've got it up there on your forehead

01:44:17.480 it's not an ascot like you're you're thirst and how will the third wearing it down around your neck

01:44:24.060 well i'm covering my mouth well what about your nose well what about my nose well your nose is not

01:44:32.100 just a snack dispenser you gotta cover that puppy up if in fact you want the mask to be effective

01:44:38.940 well i'll cover up my nose but now the mouth is undone this smacks of theater and please understand

01:44:49.360 something i'm not in any way minimizing the risks i believe they're very real risks i believe they're

01:44:56.380 very real threats and i believe that you and i as decent people as fellow inhabitants of the united

01:45:05.920 states of america that that we should take steps to mitigate the problems that others might face

01:45:15.360 but you can't do it with this

01:45:18.340 foe situation and that's what we're seeing a lot of mary joe sends a note and again if you want to

01:45:29.020 shoot me an email you go to my website the jeffcatshow.com the jeffcatshow.com you click

01:45:35.540 on the button that says uh contact me and then you contact me so mary joe says jeff i have sons in

01:45:41.580 parochial school grade school as well as high school they've actually both been in school

01:45:46.540 full-time face-to-face since august and there have been no issues there have been cases of covid because

01:45:53.240 of the testing rules issued by the government and sporting officials but the students are fine

01:45:58.800 at least physically it's sad though because they are so limited in their social activities

01:46:04.540 outside of school there are no movies to go see they cannot cheer on their friends at sporting events

01:46:12.000 due to limitations and spectators etc by the way the faculty members who have tested positive for

01:46:19.720 covid they have contracted it outside of school and all of them have recovered at home

01:46:27.800 do you remember when president trump back when he used to be president said the cure can't be worse

01:46:36.280 than the illness the cure cannot be worse than the disease he was right and you remember when

01:46:46.660 oh what was his name uh it was all the rage for a while had saved so many people in new york state um

01:46:56.140 uh uh andrew right that was andrew cuomo yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah right played the part of the

01:47:00.760 governor of new york remember him right and then he had that that that best-selling book that talked

01:47:06.740 first person about what a great guy he was first person well i saved everybody look at what i did

01:47:14.640 i've done an amazing job and i should be strongly considered for any number of national posts because

01:47:22.880 frankly this whole being governor of the empire state is really getting old remember him right yeah

01:47:31.760 and now we see oh wasn't quite how it was presented by mr cuomo it wasn't quite how it was presented by

01:47:44.860 the leftists even as they were trashing former president trump why this guy doesn't know science

01:47:54.780 this guy is a blowhard this guy is insert whatever term you want there because they just hated him and

01:48:03.220 they hated him with a passion and so whatever he had to say even when it was something as correct

01:48:11.700 and benign as the cure cannot be worse than the disease they had to trash him

01:48:21.840 and they did everything possible to laud in the in the most grandiose of ways their guy

01:48:32.000 their guy governor cuomo see cuomo is all about the science jeff cuomo cares

01:48:41.100 and yet it was president trump who made sure that the hospital ships traveled to new york to treat

01:48:50.280 victims of the coronavirus you remember that right and they sat empty

01:48:59.100 all the while governor cuomo was having

01:49:05.700 people ill with covid19 taken to nursing homes and assisted living facilities

01:49:15.780 they mocked janice dean why you know she's she's just a weather caster okay

01:49:25.380 knows more science than i do well you can't take anything she says seriously jeff she doesn't know

01:49:32.060 what she's talking about you you gotta look to this guy governor cuomo he knows what he's doing

01:49:35.740 cuomo's the guy he's our he's the best guy and you just tell that janice dean to you know go go

01:49:41.240 on about her business hmm you see who was right all along right you see who had it right all along you

01:49:48.800 see who was misleading everyone all along now what do you think the chances are what do you think the

01:49:58.020 chances are that joel biden's department of justice looks into any of that stuff in new york state i'm thinking

01:50:11.300 not particularly likely it's it's almost like the the niece of vice president harris apparently the vice president's

01:50:22.020 niece decided she wanted to somehow i guess turn a profit

01:50:28.580 on being the vice president's niece and i don't know if she had clothing or or what it was but

01:50:34.600 the white house immediately said hey whoa you can't do that no no no no no no that's not gonna happen and

01:50:40.880 i thought to myself because i i gotta be honest with i didn't read the whole story i just saw the headline i

01:50:45.120 thought well wait a minute did the vice president's niece forget to put aside 10 for the big guy

01:50:52.980 what if what if hunter biden were on the vice president's niece's company's board would that

01:51:03.420 work then i don't know hey i i've gotta share very quickly here an email

01:51:11.700 says jeff the last time you filled in for glenn you shared the story of a young lady

01:51:20.440 in virginia near you who makes bracelets

01:51:24.200 could you share it again and i thought well i don't have all the time in the world but you are

01:51:32.480 talking about you're talking about emily morrissey emily is a young lady in chesterfield county virginia

01:51:40.780 she has cp and a couple of other challenges but she did such amazing work in her her in-school therapy with beads

01:52:38.400 jeff katz in today for glenn this is the glenn beck program

01:52:46.720 i'm trying to figure out if in fact our kids get back to school i keep saying kids and i i should be uh

01:52:55.300 a little more charitable i suppose in that description i mean where i say kids and my

01:53:00.220 immediate vision is kindergartners right all right not a big deal if the kindergartners are

01:53:05.540 playing at home or playing at school because we used to think the kindergarten was just playtime and

01:53:09.620 then we we find out from people who actually are in the business of teaching and i don't mean the

01:53:14.660 leaders of teachers unions because unfortunately gosh this pains me to say it because i grew up in a

01:53:19.920 union household i have been a union member um i i i just see teachers unions who keep moving the line

01:53:27.900 and saying that they do not really want to go back to teach i mean that's really what the message is

01:53:34.700 from so many of the teachers unions now well we just don't want to go back we'll keep doing this but

01:53:39.380 you're not educating anybody well so what we don't want to catch covet got it i don't know anybody who

01:53:44.300 does so you can be first in line to get the vaccination whoa slow your roll down there buddy

01:53:51.940 why should we get the vaccination we don't look it's it's it's one or the other you want to be

01:53:57.060 back in school helping my kids god bless you i'm there for you but that means you got to get back

01:54:02.420 in school and actually educate the kids bridget sends a note she says jeff my son was a junior but

01:54:08.960 he begged to be in school a very intelligent student always scoring high on tests he and i

01:54:14.900 decided to take him out since he was just spinning his wheels with no passing grades since march of

01:54:22.480 2020 because of the school setup well he dropped out a couple of weeks ago he took the pre-test

01:54:28.300 for ged the next day he passed with such high scores he can go on to take the actual test with no

01:54:35.360 further classes he's actually excited to start taking welding classes in person at our local

01:54:42.200 community college well more power to him yeah yeah i i i wish him nothing but the best i wish him

01:54:54.520 nothing but the best and frankly i wish the best for the rest of us as well i i wish each of us the

01:55:04.500 opportunity to see our children attend school learn something sweat the math test i mean seriously

01:55:15.040 be concerned that you haven't studied enough have some degree of dare i say it peer pressure

01:55:27.340 and working together could you imagine that in a study group i mean these are all things that should be

01:55:36.280 easy these these should be the norm this is what each and every one of us should be expecting
