The Glenn Beck Program - Getting Your Kid to Leave

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:10.580 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:17.380 Back Ray and Jeffy for Glenn this week on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

00:00:24.120 A lot going on with the president and his tweets this morning.

00:00:28.380 We're deep into some spygate situation.

00:00:33.860 The FBI apparently got a spy into the Trump campaign.

00:00:41.640 At least that's the claim on Fox News and President Trump tweets.

00:00:47.960 There doesn't seem to be any proof of that, but they're running with it.

00:00:53.420 The guy said it.

00:00:54.100 Yes.

00:00:55.140 I'm talking about there's no proof.

00:00:56.900 The guy said it.

00:00:59.220 Uh, so, I mean, if Fox and Friends says it and the president tweets it, it must be so.

00:01:07.940 Fact.

00:01:08.680 It's a fact.

00:01:09.720 Yeah.

00:01:10.000 They opened the show today with a, uh, with a reading of Trump's latest tweets, which apparently

00:01:16.700 set off the president on another wild tweet storm, and he's, uh, he's calling this spygate.

00:01:24.980 And so he tweeted out, uh, new bombshell in the Obama spying scandal.

00:01:31.260 Did other agencies spy on the Trump campaign?

00:01:33.860 Even Clapper, world's dumbest former intelligence head, who has the problem of lying a lot, use the word spy when describing the illegal activities.

00:01:44.900 He later tweeted out, uh, look how things have turned around on the criminal, criminal deep state.

00:01:51.820 They go after phony collusion with Russia, a made up scam.

00:01:56.080 I'm not sure what the meetup scam is.

00:01:58.960 And end up getting caught in a major spy scandal, the likes of which this country may never have seen before.

00:02:06.940 Wow.

00:02:10.320 All right.

00:02:10.940 So there's a, there's a new bombshell.

00:02:12.700 Hey, you left out what goes around comes around my friend.

00:02:15.340 Oh, and what goes around comes around.

00:02:16.820 Okay.

00:02:17.080 If you're going to tweet, let's read.

00:02:18.880 He's calling, he's calling this the biggest scandal in American history.

00:02:22.800 We've had some serious scandals in American history.

00:02:25.420 I'm not sure that we can put this up there with those yet.

00:02:29.480 Well, yeah, not just yet.

00:02:30.760 Yeah.

00:02:31.220 Okay.

00:02:31.500 Let's wait a day or two or maybe at least 15, 20 minutes.

00:02:34.860 Maybe.

00:02:35.140 Find out if there's any evidence of a spy in the Donald Trump campaign.

00:02:38.940 Was, right?

00:02:40.560 Yeah.

00:02:40.940 Yeah.

00:02:41.200 If there was.

00:02:42.020 I mean, Donald's kicked him out now.

00:02:44.660 Well, sure.

00:02:45.520 And there's no campaign right now, except on Twitter, where he seems to be continually campaigning.

00:02:52.300 Always.

00:02:53.340 But, I mean, the Russian investigation, the collusion thing, there's no evidence there either.

00:02:59.660 There's no evidence that Trump colluded with Russians.

00:03:02.520 And this just keeps going on and on and on and on.

00:03:07.940 And I'm tired of it.

00:03:09.780 Millions of dollars down the drain.

00:03:12.140 What was it they were saying the other day?

00:03:13.860 That it was $10 million.

00:03:15.400 Well, for the first year.

00:03:17.060 Right?

00:03:17.580 Right.

00:03:17.900 For the first year.

00:03:18.880 That was the Mueller investigation for the first year.

00:03:21.120 And the year's up.

00:03:22.600 Right.

00:03:22.780 And it's still ongoing.

00:03:24.820 So, I don't know how many more millions on top of the 10.

00:03:26.940 Now, Rudy Giuliani said yesterday or the day before that it was going to end by September 1st.

00:03:32.380 Right.

00:03:32.780 But that remains to be seen.

00:03:33.900 But that was also in part with the stipulation that Trump would testify in front of Mueller, right?

00:03:41.280 And that would be inadvisable.

00:03:43.500 Very.

00:03:44.820 Really inadvisable.

00:03:46.820 Tell him to go pound sand.

00:03:48.260 Yeah.

00:03:48.560 Absolutely.

00:03:48.920 Don't talk to him.

00:03:49.860 Absolutely.

00:03:51.940 That would just get ugly.

00:03:54.560 So, there's some bad news, though, for the president.

00:03:57.960 Oh, no.

00:03:58.360 Today.

00:03:58.920 This is crushing.

00:04:00.540 This is crushing.

00:04:01.240 I don't know how he recovers from this.

00:04:02.980 He may just want to resign from the office of the presidency.

00:04:06.740 I don't know where he goes from here.

00:04:08.580 Robert De Niro has banned him from all of his restaurants.

00:04:14.420 Can you imagine the crushing disappointment that Donald Trump is feeling today?

00:04:19.700 Is he going to be able to eat again?

00:04:21.780 No.

00:04:23.020 No.

00:04:23.840 At least, well, not with Robert and not at his restaurants and not the deliciousness that is Nobu.

00:04:30.040 Nobu, he co-owns the Nobu restaurant empire.

00:04:39.500 Right.

00:04:40.140 And he said he's banned Trump.

00:04:42.960 And he also said he wouldn't remain in any restaurant that the president is in at the same time.

00:04:52.120 He would get up and leave.

00:04:53.820 That has to be crushingly disappointing to President Trump.

00:04:58.180 Now, you know, not only, though, is De Niro batting him from Nobu, and, I mean, that's

00:05:05.920 as crushing as that is, De Niro is also batting him from his hotel chain.

00:05:13.600 Oh, no.

00:05:14.800 De Niro has a hotel chain, too?

00:05:16.440 I guess so.

00:05:17.960 I didn't.

00:05:18.380 First of all, today was the first day I knew that he had a restaurant chain.

00:05:22.660 And now he's got hotels?

00:05:25.720 Nobu restaurant and hotel chain.

00:05:28.180 I'm guessing that Donald Trump stays in, I don't know, Trump hotels.

00:05:33.840 So I don't know if that was possible.

00:05:36.120 I mean, he sure does now, right?

00:05:37.400 Because he can't go to Nobu.

00:05:38.920 No, he can't go to Nobu.

00:05:40.360 Right.

00:05:40.720 And now what is the hotel chain that De Niro?

00:05:44.260 I do not know.

00:05:44.820 Maybe it is.

00:05:45.980 They're both Nobu.

00:05:47.160 I'm not sure.

00:05:47.720 I mean, De Niro has just been crazy nuts over Trump.

00:05:55.680 And he's not couching his words at all.

00:06:00.540 Maybe he's made enough money in his movie career.

00:06:02.900 He doesn't care that he's pissing off half of his potential fan base.

00:06:07.500 But, you know, to these Hollywood leftists, it seems like these political things are more

00:06:14.820 important to them even than their careers.

00:06:17.760 Because they're willing to speak out.

00:06:19.240 Or at least they don't think there'll be any repercussions.

00:06:21.720 But I can't imagine Trump fans supporting anything that Robert De Niro does now.

00:06:29.880 Boy, no kidding.

00:06:31.120 He's just been too vitriolic.

00:06:35.540 But send out some thoughts and prayers to President Trump today on this.

00:06:41.900 See if we can get through.

00:06:42.960 Crushing, disappointing day.

00:06:44.520 So the Nobu hotel chain.

00:06:46.460 It is the Nobu hotel chain.

00:06:47.840 Okay.

00:06:48.300 Oh, Nobu restaurants and hotels.

00:06:50.120 Yeah.

00:06:50.700 All right.

00:06:51.300 He's got seven.

00:06:52.620 And they're opening more this year.

00:06:54.900 Does it say what cities?

00:06:56.440 I mean, they're already open.

00:06:57.980 The first Nobu opened in 2013 as a boutique hotel inside Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

00:07:05.460 Okay.

00:07:06.320 There's one in Chicago, one in Marbella, one in Riata, one in Los Cabos, one in Barcelona.

00:07:15.600 I've never heard of it.

00:07:17.620 Are they supposed to be?

00:07:18.780 Yeah.

00:07:20.160 Yes.

00:07:20.640 Pretty nice.

00:07:21.940 Pretty nice.

00:07:22.060 Hoity-toity.

00:07:22.820 Yes.

00:07:23.160 And the one that they talked about him opening up on some beach was going to be kid-free.

00:07:28.220 He doesn't want any, you know, he's just an old guy that doesn't want children around him.

00:07:32.460 There is a Nobu restaurant in Dallas.

00:07:37.100 Oh, wait.

00:07:37.740 I didn't know that.

00:07:39.580 How about that?

00:07:40.620 Right here in the Metroplex.

00:07:42.140 See, we can't, can we go?

00:07:46.160 No, I'm not, I'm not going to, I'm not going to support his crappy restaurant.

00:07:51.380 Right.

00:07:53.760 But, but you could, if you wanted to.

00:07:56.720 Um, it was, I'm just reading that the, the Dallas restaurant was closed for a private

00:08:02.560 event, but that was on May 15th and 17th.

00:08:05.380 You might want to, Hey Nobu, you might want to update your, uh, stupid website.

00:08:12.100 Well, they're, look, they're, they're too boutique-y to, uh, update websites.

00:08:17.300 I guess so.

00:08:18.020 Uh, so if there's seven hotels, does it say how many restaurants there are?

00:08:23.480 Yeah, no, the most, I'm guessing that maybe the restaurants are with the hotels.

00:08:27.080 I don't know.

00:08:28.300 Maybe.

00:08:28.700 Yeah.

00:08:29.260 Okay.

00:08:30.340 Uh, triple eight, uh, seven, two, seven B E C K.

00:08:35.760 Also, we got to get into this, uh, Tommy Lahren situation.

00:08:39.780 I, why do people think it's okay if you politically disagree with somebody's opinions that,

00:08:47.120 you can treat them like crap.

00:08:48.760 If you see them out in public, I don't know.

00:08:52.120 When, when did that, it seems like that's a fairly new thing.

00:08:55.460 It is fairly new, but it does happen.

00:08:58.040 And it's kind of agonizing, really ugly, uh, really nasty.

00:09:02.920 And even the president, uh, tweeted about her today.

00:09:06.200 And, you know, I'm not the biggest Tommy Lahren fan there is, but this is really despicable.

00:09:13.740 I mean, that's really, really despicable behavior.

00:09:16.120 And, and since I thought it was the left that was totally tolerant of others.

00:09:23.380 Oh, please.

00:09:24.200 Please.

00:09:24.600 They're accepting of everybody's lifestyle of everybody's opinions.

00:09:28.600 They don't have to agree with you, but by golly, we're, we're tolerant and inclusive.

00:09:33.400 How long ago was it that Glenn is at the park with his wife and people are throwing stuff

00:09:38.080 and spitting on them?

00:09:40.920 Agonizing.

00:09:41.560 Yeah.

00:09:41.980 Amazing.

00:09:42.340 So that, I don't know how long ago that was, but I mean, right there is another example.

00:09:46.700 Well, we were, we were in New York, so like 2011, maybe.

00:09:50.480 Okay.

00:09:51.100 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven B E C K.

00:09:53.940 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:09:58.320 Glenn Beck.

00:10:00.340 Mercury.

00:10:08.020 Glenn Beck.

00:10:08.940 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:10:14.200 So, uh, Tommy, Tommy Lahren is out to brunch on Sunday with her mom.

00:10:23.300 She and her mom are just trying to go to brunch in Minneapolis, Minnesota at some nice rooftop

00:10:31.300 restaurant.

00:10:32.000 And a bunch of the customers there just accosted her, yelling obscenities at her, throwing drinks

00:10:40.100 on her.

00:10:40.560 One of the videos shows the, somebody throwing a drink on her.

00:10:44.180 As she walks by, walks out, they toss a drink on her.

00:10:46.980 Calling her names.

00:10:50.980 Really?

00:10:52.180 That's okay for the left to do is that's all right.

00:10:55.540 Huh?

00:10:55.980 Because again, I, I'm confused.

00:10:59.520 I thought we were tolerant.

00:11:01.440 They were.

00:11:01.960 Yeah.

00:11:02.260 The people were tweeting about, uh, whoever that guy is that cussed her out.

00:11:07.380 I hope you're having an amazing day.

00:11:09.320 Somebody tweeted.

00:11:11.180 Whoever threw this drink at Tommy Lahren.

00:11:13.480 Thank you.

00:11:14.220 Uh, that's how people responded to Tommy Lahren being attacked out again with her mom.

00:11:23.520 Yeah.

00:11:24.100 Nice.

00:11:25.840 And, and even the article that, uh, that on, I think this, I got this from a media.

00:11:34.060 Even the article is written kind of like, uh, they're glad it happened to her.

00:11:38.200 Tommy Lahren was accosted by an angry, angry horde of brunchers at a Minneapolis restaurant

00:11:43.860 over the weekend.

00:11:45.040 Lahren, the platinum blonde agitator and Fox news contributor.

00:11:51.020 I mean, everybody's got this little spin.

00:11:54.700 I mean, and again, do we have the greatest experience with it?

00:11:59.340 Probably not, but she certainly doesn't deserve that.

00:12:02.960 No, no, not at all.

00:12:04.520 Not at all.

00:12:05.060 Just because she speaks her mind and she's a Trump fan, all these people think you have

00:12:10.600 the right now to throw drinks on her and to call her a vicious, ugly names when you see

00:12:16.260 her in public.

00:12:19.060 Again, that does seem like a new phenomenon.

00:12:23.760 I don't remember seeing stories like that about people on the right or the left being accosted

00:12:29.580 like this when they went out to restaurants, when they were out in public, that other people

00:12:34.700 felt free to spit on them or throw drinks on them or, or yell, disgusting, vile words

00:12:40.000 at them.

00:12:41.080 It just, I mean, we've gotten so ugly as a society.

00:12:45.900 And it just, it does confuse me because the left is so tolerant and inclusive and accepting

00:12:55.620 of everybody's opinions and lifestyle, the culture, huh?

00:13:01.240 Just very, very strange.

00:13:03.140 I mean, can they even pretend to make that point anymore?

00:13:09.260 I don't, I don't know that you even try to pretend that the left is tolerant anymore because

00:13:15.200 nothing could be further from the truth.

00:13:18.120 Tolerance just doesn't enter into this equation at all anymore.

00:13:23.180 Uh, 888-933-93 or 888-727-BECK is our phone number here.

00:13:31.740 Uh, also Michael Bloomberg was, uh, at a big conference, Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor

00:13:39.740 of New York city at one time, a supposed Republican.

00:13:44.300 And then of course he gave up that sham because, uh, it was so ridiculous.

00:13:48.680 Nobody believed he was a Republican and he went independent.

00:13:52.800 Well, he's virtually a flat out socialist.

00:13:56.120 Listen to what he is preaching here at the, uh, international monetary monetary fund, uh,

00:14:01.940 talking about taxing the poor.

00:14:04.220 Some people say, well, taxes are regressive, but in this case, yes, they are.

00:14:10.100 That's the good thing about them because the problem is in people that don't have a lot

00:14:14.980 of money.

00:14:15.400 And so higher taxes, we should have a bigger impact on their behavior and how they deal

00:14:21.320 with themselves.

00:14:22.800 Okay.

00:14:23.360 Do you see what he's saying?

00:14:24.180 He's saying tax people so that they can't do the things you don't want them to do.

00:14:29.240 He's social engineering through taxation here.

00:14:31.860 He's been that, he's had that thought for a long, well, yeah, the soda tax ever in New

00:14:36.340 York, uh, getting rid of salt in New York, tell people what they can and can't eat.

00:14:42.180 We're just trying to tell you what you can and can't eat because you don't know, you

00:14:45.980 don't know what's good for you.

00:14:47.040 I do.

00:14:48.260 I am Michael Bloomberg.

00:14:49.960 I have more money than you.

00:14:50.920 And I know things that you don't know, like a salt's not good for you and you shouldn't

00:14:55.440 be having soda.

00:14:56.260 Okay.

00:14:56.660 So I listened to people saying, oh, we don't want to tax the poor.

00:15:00.840 Well, we want the poor to live longer so that they can get an education and enjoy life.

00:15:06.480 Oh, okay.

00:15:07.380 So, so we have to tax them because they're so stupid that they're going to do things

00:15:12.080 that harm their bodies.

00:15:14.900 They're so brainless and they make such poor decisions.

00:15:18.780 Let me make the decisions for them by taxing them out of the market of every bad thing they

00:15:25.400 want to eat.

00:15:27.200 And that's what, why you do want to do exactly what a lot of people say you don't want to

00:15:33.360 do.

00:15:33.620 The question is, do you want to pander to those people or do you want to get them to

00:15:39.360 live longer?

00:15:40.600 And there's just no question.

00:15:42.260 If you raise taxes on full sugary drinks, for example, they will drink less.

00:15:47.640 And there's just no question that full sugar drinks are one of the major contributors to

00:15:51.820 obesity and obesity is one of the major contributors to heart disease and cancer and a variety of

00:15:57.020 other things.

00:15:57.720 And look, we've got to stop these fat idiots from hurting themselves even more.

00:16:03.620 We've got to protect them from themselves, right?

00:16:06.480 I mean, otherwise they're going to just become giant fat pigs that they got diabetes.

00:16:12.760 Yeah.

00:16:13.160 They got all kinds of heart issues, but if we tax them so much that they can't afford the

00:16:20.400 soda anymore, they won't be big fatties.

00:16:23.140 You can get fat on a lot of other things besides soda.

00:16:26.700 So what are you going to do if they get fat eating ice cream?

00:16:31.200 Then you're going to tax ice cream more, right?

00:16:33.220 Oh, yeah.

00:16:34.060 You have to.

00:16:35.060 I have to.

00:16:35.500 With this kind of mentality, if the social engineering you're doing on soda drinks and

00:16:41.960 salt and all of those things that you're trying to keep away from them, if that doesn't solve

00:16:46.640 the problem of them hurting themselves, you're going to have to go to the rest of the everything

00:16:51.860 else they're hurting themselves with.

00:16:53.360 So it's like saying, I don't want to stop using coal because coal miners will go out

00:17:01.520 of work, will lose their jobs.

00:17:04.700 We have a lot of soldiers in the United States and the U.S. Army.

00:17:08.260 That's amazing, man.

00:17:08.840 But we don't want to go start a war just to give them something to do.

00:17:11.520 And that's exactly what you're saying when you say, well, let's keep coal killing people

00:17:16.980 because we don't want coal miners to lose their jobs.

00:17:21.020 The truth of the matter is there aren't very many coal miners left anyways, and we can find

00:17:25.200 other things for them to do.

00:17:26.500 But the comparison is a life or a job or taxes or life.

00:17:33.900 Which do you want to do?

00:17:34.780 Take your poison.

00:17:36.120 Plus, you can drink soda.

00:17:38.620 And still live.

00:17:41.520 He's acting like you have one can of soda, and it's going to kill you, and I've got to

00:17:49.160 protect you from that.

00:17:51.320 So how could this guy have ever called himself a Republican?

00:17:55.620 I mean, that is socialism at its worst.

00:17:59.540 That is communism at its worst.

00:18:01.680 But he changed so that he could just stay in office longer.

00:18:04.520 Right.

00:18:04.700 I mean, he was Republican, Democrat, independent.

00:18:06.680 It was just a matter of so that he could just stay in office.

00:18:08.760 This guy is agonizing.

00:18:10.500 I don't know.

00:18:11.340 People realize Michael Bloomberg is one of the most dangerous people in America because

00:18:16.340 he's so wealthy.

00:18:17.800 I think you're right.

00:18:18.660 And he's so socialist and social engineering oriented, and he wants to control everything.

00:18:27.900 Well, I mean, he knows best.

00:18:28.840 He does.

00:18:29.660 He knows best about guns.

00:18:31.940 He knows best about food.

00:18:33.500 He knows best about taxation.

00:18:35.260 He just wants to control every aspect of your life.

00:18:37.800 That's all I want to do.

00:18:38.540 That's all I'm saying here.

00:18:39.720 But it's for you.

00:18:41.320 It's for it's not about me.

00:18:43.040 It's not about my power and control.

00:18:44.920 It's about you.

00:18:46.800 For the betterment of you.

00:18:49.260 Jeffy, how much do you weigh?

00:18:52.260 795 pounds.

00:18:53.200 Let me help you with that.

00:18:54.540 Okay.

00:18:54.980 Let me help you.

00:18:55.600 You're eating the wrong things.

00:18:57.160 Let me go through your diet and pick and choose the things you can now eat.

00:19:02.720 Won't that be good for you?

00:19:03.720 Would you do that?

00:19:04.320 Would you enjoy that?

00:19:04.960 Don't you want to live?

00:19:05.800 Can you do that?

00:19:06.660 Yes.

00:19:07.140 For me?

00:19:07.600 Don't you want to live?

00:19:09.380 Of course.

00:19:09.940 I do.

00:19:10.680 Of course.

00:19:11.000 So choose.

00:19:11.980 You're going to eat or you'll live.

00:19:14.160 Listen to me.

00:19:14.920 I know best.

00:19:16.340 Thank you, Michael.

00:19:17.200 You're welcome.

00:19:23.580 Glenn Beck.

00:19:25.340 Mercury.

00:19:25.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:37.800 With Pat Gray and Jeffy this week.

00:19:41.420 For Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:19:45.180 I've been talking about sort of the disintegration of society and how people think it's perfectly fine to attack people with whom they disagree when they see them out in public.

00:19:53.680 Just really a weird, really weird situation.

00:19:56.780 It sure is.

00:19:57.340 Especially for people who are so inclusive and tolerant.

00:20:02.300 You're throwing drinks on a person because you see them on Fox News saying things you don't like?

00:20:07.380 I honestly could not imagine doing that to anyone.

00:20:11.360 Oh, my gosh.

00:20:12.980 If I was with my wife and acted that way.

00:20:17.040 Oh, right.

00:20:17.860 Oh.

00:20:18.480 Right.

00:20:18.720 And I don't know that there's anyone that I despise enough where I would either be angry that I was in the same place with them or that they were in the same place with me.

00:20:29.060 Because I kind of feel like.

00:20:30.540 Yeah.

00:20:30.720 Who can you.

00:20:31.800 I mean, Michael Bloomberg.

00:20:33.980 We were just talking about how idiotic he is.

00:20:36.360 If I saw Michael Bloomberg out without his bodyguards, I wouldn't treat him like that.

00:20:42.460 No.

00:20:42.740 I mean, let's say Mike and I are, you know, dining separately at Nobu and, you know, I just want to eat.

00:20:51.060 Yes.

00:20:51.860 I know that's a surprise.

00:20:53.080 Right.

00:20:53.700 And I'm at a restaurant and I want to eat.

00:20:55.240 And if Michael Bloomberg walked in and you see the waitress leading them to the table and you'd say, oh, huh.

00:21:03.980 There's Michael Bloomberg.

00:21:04.980 Michael Bloomberg.

00:21:05.680 Right.

00:21:06.060 Man, did you hear the latest thing he's doing?

00:21:07.940 I can't stand that guy.

00:21:08.840 And if you were to cross paths with them, let's say you cross paths with them.

00:21:11.780 Let's say you and Mike, you know, happen to go to the restroom at the same time at Nobu.

00:21:17.040 Mm-hmm.

00:21:17.380 You say, hey, Michael.

00:21:20.380 Hey, Mr. Bloomberg.

00:21:21.620 Whatever.

00:21:23.220 How are you doing?

00:21:23.660 Stop trying to take our guns.

00:21:24.700 Yeah.

00:21:25.160 Might say that.

00:21:25.760 I might say that.

00:21:26.660 I might say, pooh, not crazy about a lot of your ideas, Mike.

00:21:30.140 Hey, I noticed you got some armed guards with you.

00:21:32.160 Have a good night.

00:21:32.900 How come you don't think other people should be able to defend themselves?

00:21:34.980 Whatever.

00:21:35.240 Or something.

00:21:35.700 Maybe.

00:21:36.420 You might go there.

00:21:37.400 Yeah, you might.

00:21:38.300 But I doubt even that.

00:21:39.320 Right.

00:21:39.660 But after that, you know, have a good night.

00:21:41.300 Right?

00:21:41.540 Yeah.

00:21:41.740 Go back to your table.

00:21:43.060 Yes.

00:21:43.820 You act civilized.

00:21:44.840 I don't understand the mindset of attacking.

00:21:47.300 You'd still be a decent human being.

00:21:49.200 Right.

00:21:50.900 But that's not where we are now.

00:21:52.820 No, it is not.

00:21:54.140 And this is why when we talk about this every day, we talk about how do we ever come back

00:21:58.160 together?

00:21:58.660 I don't know.

00:21:59.260 As a nation.

00:22:00.220 I don't know.

00:22:01.100 And that's what Glenn's been trying to do is find people on the other side who share

00:22:07.560 the same concern and they're willing to reach out and say, all right, let's find some things

00:22:13.300 we can agree on.

00:22:14.200 Can we agree on constitutional principles?

00:22:17.640 Can we agree on the First Amendment?

00:22:19.380 Can we agree on the Second Amendment?

00:22:21.240 No?

00:22:21.840 Okay.

00:22:22.280 Maybe we can agree on the Third Amendment.

00:22:24.820 Maybe we can agree on at least freedom of speech and treating each other decently.

00:22:29.940 You know, we can agree on prison reform.

00:22:33.000 Well, yes.

00:22:35.480 Thank goodness we can agree on prison reform.

00:22:38.540 I don't know how many times I've said it.

00:22:40.200 How often have I harped on it's time to bring about prison reform?

00:22:46.160 I'm so sick of hearing it.

00:22:47.620 I know.

00:22:47.940 As a matter of fact, I'm glad it's finally taken care of.

00:22:50.820 Well, at least in the House.

00:22:52.740 Yeah.

00:22:53.660 The House voted 365 to 58 or something like that yesterday.

00:22:57.680 I mean, it was an overwhelming passage of this prison reform bill.

00:23:03.460 It was a big push by Kushner and his friends.

00:23:07.820 And this is interesting because as we're talking about, this is one of the issues on which the

00:23:12.400 right and the left have come together on prison reform.

00:23:15.960 In fact, Van Jones was just on, I think it was CNN, and they were talking about the fact

00:23:21.960 that he and the president agree on this, on this prison reform thing.

00:23:27.180 Van, before we get into the serious discussion here, I would like to replay for you the

00:23:31.680 greeting you received by President Trump.

00:23:35.040 I also want to thank Van Jones.

00:23:38.020 Strange.

00:23:38.480 Primarily because he constantly says such nice things about me.

00:23:42.700 He did.

00:23:43.760 He did.

00:23:44.820 Every once in a while, right?

00:23:46.320 Every once in a while.

00:23:47.380 He did.

00:23:47.620 He's, hey.

00:23:48.860 He actually has on occasion.

00:23:50.780 Not too often, but I'll tell you what, though.

00:23:53.060 It does feel good.

00:23:53.840 Like once.

00:23:54.140 So, Van, as you yourself have noted, you are left of Pluto.

00:23:59.840 So, why is someone left of Pluto sitting next to Jared Kushner being praised by the president?

00:24:04.680 It's interesting.

00:24:05.360 Not only is he left of Pluto, he's a revolutionary communist.

00:24:10.040 As we've pointed out.

00:24:11.140 Does that make you left of Pluto?

00:24:12.660 As we have pointed out since 2009.

00:24:14.960 He's a revolutionary communist.

00:24:16.520 Well, I tell you, it was a surreal moment, and it came as a result of real consideration.

00:24:23.880 As you know, and as the president pointed out, I'm tough on this White House.

00:24:27.340 If you give me 100 issues on 99 issues, I've been beating them up hard because I'm for human rights.

00:24:32.960 Oh, he's for human rights.

00:24:34.060 We're not.

00:24:35.080 For immigrant rights.

00:24:35.960 He's for immigrant rights.

00:24:37.280 We're not.

00:24:37.760 For trans rights.

00:24:38.560 For the trans rights.

00:24:39.800 Environment.

00:24:40.640 And the environment.

00:24:41.700 We all hate the environment.

00:24:42.740 I mean, he just ran down a list of things we hate.

00:24:45.740 Right, right.

00:24:46.640 But I had to come.

00:24:47.480 I love how they put that.

00:24:49.080 You're for human rights.

00:24:50.060 Well, who isn't?

00:24:51.620 No, I'm for taking human rights away from everybody.

00:24:54.200 Every person on this planet.

00:24:55.960 They should all be oppressed by Michael Bloomberg.

00:24:58.080 To a decision, if on 99 issues I'm against you, but on one issue, someone like Jared Kushner,

00:25:03.980 whose dad went to prison, wants to do something.

00:25:06.720 And on that one issue, it would help women who are being brutalized in prison.

00:25:10.240 It would get 4,000 federal prisoners home.

00:25:13.020 It would give people the opportunity to come home earlier if they're earning their way home

00:25:16.100 earlier.

00:25:16.500 If you could actually do something to help somebody, do you just do nothing?

00:25:20.420 Because you don't like them on 99 other issues.

00:25:23.560 That's exactly what we're talking about, though.

00:25:25.240 There's a guy on the extreme left, and he has come together with President Trump on this

00:25:33.200 prison reform thing.

00:25:34.260 And so have a lot of Republicans and Democrats in the House come together on it.

00:25:38.800 So there are some things on which we can agree, and those are the things we need to find

00:25:46.220 and talk about so that we're not throwing drinks on people we disagree with when we see them

00:25:52.380 in public.

00:25:54.000 Jack in Texas, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:56.720 Hi.

00:25:57.100 Yes, thank you.

00:25:58.660 I was just talking about Tommy Lauren.

00:26:01.580 And the old example might be, in the past years, would be that a man say something improper

00:26:08.640 to Tommy Lauren, let's say if they're having dinner, and then after he says something improper,

00:26:14.200 she throws the drink on him and walks out.

00:26:17.280 Yeah.

00:26:17.500 However, what happens now is they're not learning the social etiquette because their father is

00:26:25.500 not teaching them that because of divorce.

00:26:28.660 And I think that really what we need to do is outlaw pornography and then tell people, you

00:26:36.860 know, when you get married, you're going to have to pay a little bit more than just your

00:26:43.300 $150 or whatever it is.

00:26:45.060 You're going to have to pay a lot.

00:26:46.820 That way, if you invest in it, at the beginning, you're like, yeah, this is serious.

00:26:52.880 I'm not paying until death do us part.

00:26:55.520 I have to pay a lot for what?

00:26:57.880 Well, after we outlaw pornography, because that's crude, rude, and disrespectful to women

00:27:04.600 especially.

00:27:05.480 Okay.

00:27:05.740 Then you would say, let's say, instead of $150, let's say you would have to pay a greater

00:27:13.720 fee of, I don't know, some amount of money that's going to make you uncomfortable.

00:27:18.840 To whom?

00:27:19.240 Or you're going to have to assign an agreement that says if you get divorced, you'll have

00:27:23.860 to pay a penalty.

00:27:26.000 Because the cost to our society is so grave with divorce.

00:27:30.520 The cost is like, it spreads from not only that family.

00:27:35.640 It's terrible for the children.

00:27:37.200 Yeah, it is.

00:27:38.180 You know, it's horrible.

00:27:39.980 Mommy and daddy are separated.

00:27:41.680 Maybe they're fighting and all of that.

00:27:43.900 You don't want police to come into your house and try to separate your parents.

00:27:48.400 No.

00:27:49.340 It's tragic.

00:27:50.980 And then when you have the repercussions spreading through our community, it's breaking down our

00:27:56.560 community.

00:27:57.260 Yeah.

00:27:57.560 So we have crazy stuff like this, and people think like that's allowable.

00:28:03.160 All right.

00:28:03.640 Appreciate it.

00:28:04.080 Thanks, Jack.

00:28:04.760 So Jack would replace social engineering with more social engineering.

00:28:07.800 Just thinking, wait, he's making all kinds of new rules, man.

00:28:10.840 Yes, he is.

00:28:11.900 And I'm still unclear as to whom he wants to pay a lot more money to and for what.

00:28:18.660 But I can guarantee you that we're all going to be paying for that.

00:28:21.940 But I know you're excited about banning pornography.

00:28:24.140 I know you're all about that.

00:28:25.600 Am I right, Jeffy?

00:28:27.680 Yeah, no.

00:28:28.860 No.

00:28:30.980 We have a completely different outlook on that.

00:28:34.040 Terry in South Carolina, welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:37.740 Hi.

00:28:39.420 Hello.

00:28:40.120 Hey.

00:28:41.540 Morning, gentlemen.

00:28:42.460 Love the show.

00:28:43.280 Thank you.

00:28:44.580 Just wanted to let you know, I'm a Republican, and I've got three grown daughters, and my

00:28:50.080 mother-in-law lives with me, and my wife, well, if you listen to the liberals,

00:28:55.600 I've talked her into voting Republican, one of my grown daughters is a Democrat, and so

00:29:03.240 is my mother-in-law.

00:29:04.360 So we've kind of got a blended family.

00:29:06.880 Yeah.

00:29:07.020 And as for that Tommy Lahren incident, we would be mortified if we were at a restaurant and

00:29:14.640 something like that happens.

00:29:15.880 Yeah.

00:29:16.620 I mean, you'd probably intervene, right?

00:29:20.200 I mean, if I'm seeing somebody being treated that way, you're going to intervene.

00:29:24.300 I have no idea.

00:29:25.420 I grew up with four sisters, so I learned at an early age, respect for women.

00:29:30.720 My dad would have turned me into a stain on the wall if I would have turned the stain

00:29:34.320 on the wall.

00:29:37.500 Yeah.

00:29:38.160 So, you know, it's a big thing in our family.

00:29:40.960 And something that, you know, all of my daughters have learned at a very early age, and they've

00:29:45.200 been complimented on it time and time again throughout their years growing up, is their

00:29:49.520 manners and how well...

00:29:51.420 I mean, my youngest used to get awards in school for respect.

00:29:55.880 Yeah, that's great.

00:29:56.580 And it just amazes me, though, how far the left and the liberals have gone to the point

00:30:03.560 where, well, they've honestly, they've gotten to the point where my two Democrats in the

00:30:08.820 family are honestly considering voting Republican.

00:30:11.880 Wow.

00:30:12.580 It's gotten that bad.

00:30:13.960 Wow.

00:30:14.380 And my daughter that, yeah, my daughter that is a Democrat that's very liberal, she is,

00:30:21.420 in her own way, a little social justice warrior.

00:30:25.540 And she sees things that go on with groups of people that she's with that she comes home

00:30:31.580 and tells me, and she says, Dad, she says, I want things to change, but I don't agree

00:30:37.280 with how they're going about it at all.

00:30:39.540 Yeah, I'm glad you can see that because...

00:30:41.940 Boy, no kidding.

00:30:43.040 Yeah, that's important.

00:30:44.160 She does.

00:30:44.880 Yeah.

00:30:45.080 And when we have family get-togethers, you know, Thanksgivings and everything else, yes,

00:30:50.360 we do talk politics, but there is the utmost respect for everybody's opinions.

00:30:55.680 Yeah.

00:30:56.380 That's great.

00:30:57.040 Appreciate it.

00:30:57.340 We don't raise our voices.

00:30:58.660 We don't scream at people.

00:31:00.360 And it just...

00:31:01.120 You don't spit on each other?

00:31:03.160 No, no, no.

00:31:04.220 No?

00:31:04.620 Okay.

00:31:04.980 Well, my mother-in-law, sometimes she talks with her mouth full of food.

00:31:09.040 Just send her back to her room.

00:31:11.720 Yeah.

00:31:12.160 Yeah.

00:31:12.380 We just kind of dodge it, you know?

00:31:14.020 Yeah.

00:31:14.560 Yeah.

00:31:14.760 But, no, it really is.

00:31:16.940 I mean, it's just, they've gone too far.

00:31:18.920 They really have.

00:31:19.780 Yeah.

00:31:20.200 And I, for one, can't wait for the midterms to keep some Republicans in there because we

00:31:25.320 really need to rein in this liberal, I don't even know what you want to call it anymore.

00:31:31.680 I don't either.

00:31:32.340 Because it's not a wave, and it's just, they've gone too far.

00:31:37.500 Thanks, Terry.

00:31:38.220 Appreciate it.

00:31:38.920 I thought we did that, and then apparently we didn't.

00:31:40.860 And I think, I think the Democrats are going to be surprised at nowhere.

00:31:43.220 I think so, too.

00:31:43.980 They think they're taking back the House, and maybe the Senate, I don't think either one's

00:31:47.900 happening.

00:31:48.460 I don't think so either.

00:31:49.300 I don't think, you know, and Glenn has been saying lately that they've overplayed their

00:31:52.760 hand a lot, and maybe they have.

00:31:55.300 Maybe they have.

00:31:56.580 Now, it does feel that way, but that doesn't necessarily make it so.

00:32:00.860 Yeah, right.

00:32:01.260 It's pretty hard to overplay your hand with some of these extremists.

00:32:03.700 Yes, it is.

00:32:04.660 888-727-BECK.

00:32:06.680 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:08.720 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:32:21.520 Glenn Beck.

00:32:23.580 You know what I think part of the problem is?

00:32:25.980 No, Pat.

00:32:26.580 What do you think part of the problem is?

00:32:28.320 Twitter.

00:32:29.220 That's what I think part of the problem is.

00:32:32.080 Twitter has just made us nastier as a society.

00:32:35.400 At Jeffy MRA has made me nastier?

00:32:39.320 Uh-huh, yes.

00:32:40.240 Huh.

00:32:40.700 Yeah, it has.

00:32:41.700 I mean, you look at the comments on that, and the comments, in fact, it ties right in

00:32:45.180 with the Tommy Lahren thing, because they were commenting on Twitter almost in real time

00:32:50.440 as people were throwing drinks on her, and people were commenting on Twitter how great

00:32:56.180 that was.

00:32:56.820 Yeah.

00:32:57.780 Twitter and Instagram, they were all over it.

00:33:00.220 No question.

00:33:00.680 Just the ugliness factor on social media has increased to such an extent that you can't

00:33:08.160 help but spill over into our real lives, right?

00:33:10.480 It can't help but.

00:33:12.000 Some of it, I guess.

00:33:13.060 Yeah.

00:33:13.540 You know, it's easy to...

00:33:15.880 I find myself, it's easier to get snarky.

00:33:19.220 Mm-hmm.

00:33:19.700 And, you know, that's a nice word.

00:33:22.980 But it's really easy on Twitter, because you're anonymous.

00:33:25.660 Nobody sees you.

00:33:26.460 Nobody's going to know where you are, or who you are, or where you live, or any of that.

00:33:29.940 Whereas, in person, if you're that nasty, you could get punched in the face.

00:33:34.720 That's not a problem on Twitter.

00:33:36.720 It's not a problem on Instagram.

00:33:39.260 Not a problem on Facebook.

00:33:41.440 So, social media has just made us meaner.

00:33:46.880 Okay.

00:33:47.800 You don't buy that?

00:33:48.940 You know, it...

00:33:50.940 Again, a lot of this feels like it does.

00:33:55.280 I don't know that it actually does overall.

00:33:57.800 You know, if you talk to people face-to-face, they get it.

00:34:03.580 It's...

00:34:04.260 It just feels like...

00:34:06.800 Although, you know, like I said, it feels that way.

00:34:09.280 And then you see the Tommy Laring experience at the restaurant with their mom, and you think,

00:34:14.880 yep.

00:34:15.200 Yeah.

00:34:16.420 And there you go.

00:34:17.400 Young woman with her mom.

00:34:18.740 Right.

00:34:19.080 You can't just leave her alone.

00:34:20.140 But, no, because she supports Trump and has some opinions you don't like, you got to throw

00:34:25.820 your drink on her?

00:34:26.920 And yell obscenities at her?

00:34:29.160 Right.

00:34:29.640 Incredible.

00:34:30.940 Rob in Pennsylvania.

00:34:32.920 You're on the Glenn Beck Program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:34:34.720 Hi.

00:34:38.640 Thank you so much for having us.

00:34:40.780 You bet.

00:34:41.040 I just, first, I just want to thank you guys for what you do, because, man, there's times

00:34:47.040 I want to bang my head, but you keep me laughing and keep me, at least keep it light.

00:34:51.060 But, Bloomberg, I just, you know, that's just one example.

00:34:56.600 They major in the minors, and then, you know, they don't take care of the important stuff.

00:35:01.460 Like, he's going after soda, but, I mean, if you really wanted to go after something

00:35:06.260 important, and, again, I'm neither here nor there, you could go after alcohol, because

00:35:10.620 that hurts more people.

00:35:11.920 That has more, you know, on the medical side that they've got to take care of things.

00:35:16.440 I mean, there's just so much more that they could focus on, and they don't.

00:35:19.700 Yes.

00:35:20.060 Yes.

00:35:20.500 And don't let them know about that, because they will.

00:35:24.740 They will.

00:35:31.460 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

00:35:40.580 Love.

00:35:42.200 Courage.

00:35:43.880 Truth.

00:35:45.580 Glenn Beck.

00:35:47.320 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

00:35:52.040 Don't forget, at noon Eastern, right after the show, you can join me for my own show,

00:35:58.000 Pat Gray Unleashed, on theblazeradio.com.

00:36:00.360 Also on the iHeartRadio app, and all over the place, as a matter of fact, Blaze Radio

00:36:04.780 and Television Network, immediately following this.

00:36:09.200 When is it time for your kids to get out of your house?

00:36:14.160 Are you asking me?

00:36:15.500 14?

00:36:16.100 Oh, yeah.

00:36:17.560 12?

00:36:18.320 12?

00:36:18.940 Get a job.

00:36:19.840 We're into a kind of a, you know, we're talking about how nasty society has gotten.

00:36:26.960 It's also gotten a little lackadaisical in certain areas, with kids staying at their

00:36:31.380 parents' house until they're 40, in some cases.

00:36:35.300 No, times are tough, Pat.

00:36:36.580 Times are tough.

00:36:37.220 Times are tough.

00:36:37.920 And whether, you know, you get a part-time, let's say you get a part-time job, and you got

00:36:42.060 to go to college, right?

00:36:43.100 You have to get a four-year university, maybe five or six.

00:36:47.240 That accounts for 22 years old.

00:36:50.740 What about the other 18 years?

00:36:52.380 And then you got to study maybe for the master's and the doctorate.

00:36:55.380 Yeah, right.

00:36:56.600 Right?

00:36:56.940 Right.

00:36:57.400 And all through that, you either have a part-time job or you don't, because it's tough to have

00:37:01.340 a part-time job and study.

00:37:02.760 Well, it is.

00:37:03.680 And so it takes longer to go to school.

00:37:06.220 Right.

00:37:06.760 Right.

00:37:07.040 A lot of people can do that.

00:37:08.900 And so now you're looking at what?

00:37:11.260 About 26, 27?

00:37:14.460 Yeah.

00:37:14.840 Nancy Pelosi was right.

00:37:15.780 Right.

00:37:16.360 Right, right.

00:37:17.040 And so you're just about to run out of your parents' insurance and have to get your own.

00:37:21.720 Right.

00:37:23.400 So if you have to get your own, then you certainly can't afford a place.

00:37:27.000 If you're paying for your own insurance, you can't.

00:37:29.080 Even if you can't afford your own insurance, there's no way you can afford your own place.

00:37:33.120 Right.

00:37:33.840 Right.

00:37:34.040 So you might have to stay downstairs or upstairs or wherever you stayed in your parents'

00:37:39.860 home without insurance.

00:37:41.260 You don't want to go out because something bad might happen.

00:37:45.080 There's an interesting case in New York where a couple went to court to get their 30-year-old

00:37:51.720 son out of their house.

00:37:54.580 They told him to get out.

00:37:56.700 And he said, no, I'm not getting out.

00:37:59.540 You can't make me leave.

00:38:01.020 They're like, yes.

00:38:01.860 In fact, they wrote up an official eviction notice and went to a lawyer to use the correct

00:38:11.960 language and called him by his full name and the whole legal nine yards.

00:38:21.260 They went through it all and demanded that he get out and he refused.

00:38:25.140 And so they took him to court.

00:38:26.060 And yesterday, a Supreme Court judge in New York said, yeah, kid, you need to get out

00:38:34.260 because, well, you're not a kid anymore.

00:38:36.780 You're 30 years old.

00:38:38.020 Get out of your parents' house.

00:38:39.940 And he called, his name is Michael Rotundo, 30, again, 30.

00:38:45.200 He called the decision outrageous.

00:38:48.160 Couldn't believe it.

00:38:49.200 And he's going to appeal the decision.

00:38:51.060 I mean, it was kind of like similar to the documentary Failure to Launch with Matthew

00:38:57.020 McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker because he would not leave the house.

00:39:02.180 Terry Bradshaw was the father.

00:39:03.460 That's right.

00:39:04.040 Yeah.

00:39:04.080 And What's-Her-Face, Kathy Bates, was the mother.

00:39:06.140 Yeah.

00:39:06.400 And they wanted him out, too.

00:39:08.180 Right.

00:39:08.580 Yeah.

00:39:09.300 And it was, you know.

00:39:11.240 You know, to me, I would think that would put a little crimp into your love life.

00:39:16.280 It didn't seem to bother.

00:39:17.260 It didn't seem to hurt Matthew.

00:39:19.120 Not in that movie, no.

00:39:19.900 Now, everyone isn't Matthew McConaughey.

00:39:22.040 True.

00:39:23.440 And that's not exactly real life.

00:39:25.780 When she asks you, so where do you live?

00:39:27.840 I live with my parents.

00:39:29.420 I live in the basement of my parents' house.

00:39:32.440 Want to come over?

00:39:33.980 No.

00:39:35.440 No, I don't.

00:39:36.840 Nor do I want you to call me anymore.

00:39:38.900 Basements are separate.

00:39:40.480 Aren't they separate from the rest of the house?

00:39:43.200 No.

00:39:43.760 It's part of the same house.

00:39:44.980 Yeah.

00:39:45.620 They're like down.

00:39:46.600 They're lower.

00:39:47.160 Yeah, they are lower.

00:39:48.060 But it's part of the same house.

00:39:49.900 But not in the DFW area because there's no such thing as a basement.

00:39:53.740 There's no such thing as a basement.

00:39:56.000 It's a water table issue, right?

00:39:58.280 Isn't that what that supposedly is?

00:39:59.740 I guess.

00:40:01.020 I don't know.

00:40:01.960 All I know is that you can't have a basement, so you have 10 stories.

00:40:05.520 Yes.

00:40:06.340 Right.

00:40:06.740 So, anyway, strange that you would have to go to court to get your son out of the house.

00:40:15.840 So, when is it too old to be living with your parents?

00:40:21.960 Is it, I mean, 30 certainly seems to qualify as too old to be living with your parents if

00:40:30.200 they don't want you there.

00:40:30.920 Yeah.

00:40:31.240 Get out.

00:40:32.480 And normally, it's kind of an unspoken thing, right?

00:40:37.320 Normally, the kid, the child is like, hey, I love living here.

00:40:45.520 I want to be on my own.

00:40:50.240 I want to do my own thing.

00:40:51.180 I want to date girls, and I can't bring them back here.

00:40:54.520 I want to do my own thing.

00:40:55.420 You know?

00:40:56.100 Right, right, right, right.

00:40:56.640 If that's not a pretty good incentive right there, there's something maybe a little bit

00:41:00.620 wrong there.

00:41:01.140 Right.

00:41:02.360 But you want, I mean, there's an independence thing that kicks in.

00:41:04.920 Absolutely.

00:41:05.680 And it usually kicks in in your teens, and you can't wait to get out of the house by

00:41:09.240 the time you're 18.

00:41:10.480 You can't wait.

00:41:11.280 Oh, yeah.

00:41:12.020 You want to go, and you want to be on your own, and you want to do your own thing.

00:41:15.360 Not that you don't love your parents.

00:41:16.640 You do.

00:41:17.520 But you've been with them now for 18 years, and now it's time to go do your own thing.

00:41:21.220 Yes.

00:41:22.240 And, you know, I love my kids, and I believe they love us.

00:41:26.280 You have to go out and get established so that, you know, later on, we can move in with

00:41:29.860 them.

00:41:31.560 Exactly.

00:41:33.340 Exactly.

00:41:35.280 If I ever have to depend on that, I've told them, shoot me in the head.

00:41:39.600 I don't want to do that.

00:41:40.740 It's funny.

00:41:41.100 I don't want to do that.

00:41:41.600 My oldest son said he would do that.

00:41:42.940 I didn't ask him, though.

00:41:44.560 Elvis would, too.

00:41:46.580 I'm sure you don't even have to ask him.

00:41:48.500 Don't even think about it.

00:41:49.080 He'll just offer.

00:41:49.920 Don't even think about moving in there.

00:41:56.100 So there is a, normally with human beings, there's a natural desire to be independent and

00:42:02.720 to go out and spread your wings and try to fly.

00:42:07.420 If you fail and you come on hard times.

00:42:10.900 Well, that's what we're here for.

00:42:12.000 Then the parents are there usually to help you get back up on your feet and go fly again.

00:42:17.240 And if that means that they come back for a little while, good.

00:42:20.820 I mean, that's fine, usually, right?

00:42:23.880 But not for a long time.

00:42:26.520 The window is what?

00:42:28.240 The window is small.

00:42:30.320 I mean, if you need to come back for a couple of months.

00:42:34.240 Maybe.

00:42:34.740 Maybe.

00:42:35.780 On the outside.

00:42:36.880 But what if it took longer than two months to get back on your feet?

00:42:37.980 If it took six months or a year, then it's too long.

00:42:40.960 Okay.

00:42:41.280 It's too long.

00:42:42.500 Now, I don't know anybody who's faced a situation like that.

00:42:44.800 When you reach that point that it gets too long.

00:42:48.260 Uh-huh.

00:42:48.980 I mean, is there something that you say?

00:42:49.760 Then you start encouraging them to maybe go out and spread your wings again and see if

00:42:56.800 you can fly.

00:42:57.980 You know.

00:42:58.880 Because you've been here healing for a while.

00:43:00.560 Look at the time.

00:43:03.340 You've been here quite a while.

00:43:05.100 Is it three months o'clock already?

00:43:07.800 Get out.

00:43:08.740 And that's kind of where these parents were.

00:43:13.100 And they said, hey, we even offered him money.

00:43:17.240 We'll help you find a place.

00:43:19.600 And he just wouldn't do it.

00:43:20.700 Really strange.

00:43:21.800 Really strange.

00:43:23.840 And kind of embarrassing.

00:43:26.760 A bit.

00:43:27.340 Because even when he got the judge's decision, he absolutely refused to accept it.

00:43:35.740 Said he's going to appeal and he's not going to leave.

00:43:39.720 Nice.

00:43:40.120 And he said, it seems like, you know, I should be provided with, you know, 30 days or so

00:43:45.260 at least to have to vacate the premises.

00:43:48.300 If that's not the case, I don't know.

00:43:50.920 He does have a point there.

00:43:51.880 I mean, you can't be expected just to move out.

00:43:53.580 No.

00:43:54.120 I mean, not in a day or two.

00:43:55.260 You've got to get yourself together.

00:43:56.560 Right.

00:43:56.780 Get your things organized.

00:43:58.120 You have to get your mind right.

00:43:59.340 Yeah.

00:43:59.660 And if it takes you 30 days to get your mind right after a court has told you to get out

00:44:05.900 of your parents' basement, I think there's some other issues.

00:44:10.360 That's very possible.

00:44:11.800 Yeah.

00:44:12.580 Very possible.

00:44:13.920 So I'd like to know what the cutoff is because things have changed.

00:44:19.220 Oh, no question.

00:44:20.180 Things have changed a lot.

00:44:21.060 No question about that.

00:44:21.740 It used to be 18.

00:44:22.820 We'll see you later.

00:44:23.780 Yeah.

00:44:24.160 Bye-bye now.

00:44:24.800 Yeah.

00:44:25.480 And it was a tough love thing.

00:44:27.260 And if you didn't want to get out, we're going to encourage you and maybe force the issue

00:44:31.700 a little bit because it's for your benefit to get out and do your own thing.

00:44:36.300 I mean, I'm trying to remember how old I was back in 1901.

00:44:42.760 Yeah.

00:44:43.900 How long were you out of the house by 1901?

00:44:46.980 I mean, we had already planted the fields.

00:44:51.340 Aren't you working on your third family by then?

00:44:53.320 Yeah.

00:44:53.520 Yeah.

00:44:54.300 I just remember being home and thinking, I've been here enough.

00:44:59.620 Yeah.

00:45:00.100 Oh, yeah.

00:45:00.780 Mm-hmm.

00:45:01.080 It was time for-

00:45:02.100 I think I was 19 when that happened.

00:45:04.120 Time for me to go.

00:45:04.620 Yeah.

00:45:04.860 Yeah.

00:45:05.000 I was 19.

00:45:05.780 And amazingly, my mother, who I loved and I know she loved me, didn't stop me.

00:45:12.300 That's amazing.

00:45:13.140 I know.

00:45:13.640 What are you laughing at?

00:45:15.000 I mean-

00:45:15.700 If you ran that same theory past your wife right

00:45:21.140 now, I'm guessing she wouldn't stop you either.

00:45:23.920 That's absolutely true.

00:45:28.080 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:45:39.120 Glenn Beck.

00:45:40.060 Triple eight, triple eight, seven, two, seven, Beck.

00:45:43.680 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

00:45:46.920 Talking about this story where a 30-year-old had to be taken to court by his parents to get

00:45:54.380 him out of their house.

00:45:55.240 Amazing.

00:45:55.800 Now, I've seen studies where it's not unusual anymore.

00:45:58.840 There's- I don't remember the exact statistic, so I'm not going to try to cite it.

00:46:02.280 But it was- their point was, things have really changed in America.

00:46:06.500 It used to be, you know, you're 18, you go.

00:46:09.280 But now, it's not unusual for people in their 30s, sometimes even their mid-30s, to still

00:46:18.140 be living in their parents' home.

00:46:20.180 That seems a little excessive to me.

00:46:21.740 It seems a lot excessive to me.

00:46:25.360 And this particular guy, who was finally booted out by a judge, was 30 years old and had no

00:46:33.100 intention of leaving.

00:46:35.020 You had no shame.

00:46:36.040 If you're willing to go to court against your parents and say, nope, I'm not leaving your

00:46:40.760 house.

00:46:41.020 You're going to have to continue to take care of me.

00:46:45.340 That takes a lot of giblets, I think, and a lack of shame of any kind.

00:46:50.000 And there's another issue in our society, which a lot of people have no shame anymore.

00:46:54.260 They're not concerned about that.

00:46:56.140 That's true.

00:46:56.480 It doesn't embarrass them.

00:46:57.840 How is that possible?

00:46:59.200 That's true.

00:46:59.960 I don't know.

00:47:00.820 I'd be humiliated if I was 30 and living with my parents.

00:47:05.700 Humiliated.

00:47:07.360 And again, I don't know how you date under those circumstances, because it can't be that

00:47:12.260 attractive to a potential partner.

00:47:15.880 Right.

00:47:16.740 Yeah, I mean-

00:47:17.420 I live with my mom and dad.

00:47:20.000 Yeah.

00:47:21.520 Watch Star Trek most of the, you know, Star Trek reruns a lot of the day.

00:47:25.880 And then-

00:47:27.100 But right, if you come over and you say, hey, come on over, we'll hang out.

00:47:30.200 Yeah.

00:47:30.560 We'll just hang out.

00:47:31.600 We'll talk.

00:47:32.220 We'll watch a little Netflix.

00:47:33.540 And then-

00:47:33.780 And you can watch Netflix while I go do my paper route.

00:47:36.160 I got a part-time thing.

00:47:37.120 I got a little paper route that I do.

00:47:39.620 Dude, you're 32.

00:47:41.080 When we're halfway through the show, you guys want some popcorn?

00:47:44.040 No, mom, we're fine.

00:47:45.100 Yeah.

00:47:48.580 Yeah.

00:47:50.360 Strange.

00:47:50.760 It's a weird world that has changed a lot.

00:47:54.140 Steven in California.

00:47:55.160 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:48:00.160 Steven?

00:48:01.700 Hey, can you hear me?

00:48:02.760 Yep.

00:48:03.200 Mm-hmm.

00:48:03.400 Through the miracle of the telephone, we can.

00:48:07.060 Dude, God bless them.

00:48:08.280 Okay.

00:48:08.600 So I think that people are staying with their parents so long because, you know, parents

00:48:12.660 are willing to get.

00:48:14.180 My goal as a parent, and I only have a four- to two-year-old, but starting now, I'm going

00:48:19.380 to do everything I can to make their lives miserable.

00:48:21.660 So they want to leave.

00:48:23.320 That is my goal as a parent.

00:48:27.640 That's not a bad goal.

00:48:29.380 It's a good goal, actually.

00:48:31.280 Yeah.

00:48:31.520 Yeah, right?

00:48:31.900 I don't know if you want to start at four years old, but, you know, maybe at 14.

00:48:35.640 What is the appropriate time to start with that?

00:48:37.640 The die have been cast.

00:48:39.080 You know, that's already happening.

00:48:40.100 Can I say one more thing?

00:48:41.260 Yeah.

00:48:42.700 So I drove by a Starbucks that had a Chipotle next door yesterday, and I seriously laughed

00:48:48.380 for like five minutes because they have public restrooms.

00:48:52.260 And you know that that restroom is going to get blown up.

00:48:55.600 Really?

00:48:56.600 So it is becoming a problem, you think?

00:48:58.540 I, I, I, it's, it has to, right?

00:49:03.100 Appreciate the call, Steven.

00:49:04.280 It has to.

00:49:05.000 I hope so.

00:49:05.540 It has to be a problem for Starbucks because if you've now created a place where the homeless

00:49:10.820 can come in and sit down, maybe just relax for a while in a pleasant environment, you

00:49:16.800 got access to the restroom.

00:49:18.660 What more do you need?

00:49:19.660 Uh, I mean, of course it's going to become a homeless camp or you just, you know, bring

00:49:25.400 in something.

00:49:26.180 Starbucks is a little bit nicer than the Burger King down the street.

00:49:29.300 So you grab some Burger King and stop at a Starbucks to eat it.

00:49:32.580 Yeah.

00:49:32.980 Why not?

00:49:33.640 I know.

00:49:34.280 Why not?

00:49:35.160 If you don't have to buy anything and they made that clear, you don't.

00:49:37.760 So.

00:49:38.260 So what do you think the appropriate age is though, too, let's make their lives miserable.

00:49:41.480 I, I, I agree with you that for maybe not for, yeah, maybe, you know, it's toward the

00:49:47.280 end of the senior year, I think.

00:49:49.840 Oh, maybe even a little older than that.

00:49:51.220 16, 17 ish.

00:49:52.740 Yeah.

00:49:53.360 Well, I mean, in your home, it had to be miserable the whole time.

00:49:57.640 Right.

00:49:58.620 What do you mean?

00:49:59.380 Just, I mean, just by accident, you made their lives.

00:50:01.940 What?

00:50:03.140 I don't know if I understand about you.

00:50:05.120 Yeah.

00:50:05.480 I'll explain it to you later.

00:50:06.900 Uh, Nikki in North Carolina, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:50:09.880 Hi.

00:50:11.020 Hey, Pat and Jeffy.

00:50:12.400 Hey.

00:50:12.760 So I am the youngest of four, but when I was 18, I graduated.

00:50:17.260 I graduated high school and I went to work like my butt off that summer and left the

00:50:21.480 second I could to go to college.

00:50:22.660 But I have a brother who lived at home until he was 28, got married, then got divorced.

00:50:27.900 I moved back in with my parents and never left.

00:50:30.540 And now both of my parents have passed and he can't function in society on his own.

00:50:35.400 Like he has no clue how to function as a human being and an adult.

00:50:39.480 Wow.

00:50:39.680 That's sad.

00:50:40.200 You have to set them up and you have to kick them out.

00:50:42.180 You have to.

00:50:43.060 Yeah.

00:50:43.280 Otherwise, they will end up dependent on everybody in society when you're gone as a person.

00:50:49.140 I mean, it's terrible.

00:50:51.340 Were your parents okay with him being there at 28?

00:50:54.900 And longer.

00:50:55.460 Yes, they were.

00:50:56.300 They were fine.

00:50:57.420 Wow.

00:50:57.540 And then when he got divorced, he moved back and my mom babied the heck out of him.

00:51:01.880 And they still hadn't had enough?

00:51:04.880 No.

00:51:05.480 Wow.

00:51:05.720 It was a terrible thing.

00:51:07.020 My dad had cancer for a long time.

00:51:08.700 He was sick for 13 years with cancer.

00:51:10.580 And you would think that my brother helped, but he really didn't help a whole lot.

00:51:13.980 My sister was the one that helped my mom take care of my dad, even though she didn't live with them.

00:51:18.380 And then when dad passed, mom had to have him home there because at least she wasn't alone.

00:51:23.860 So I got that sort of.

00:51:25.260 Yeah, right.

00:51:25.580 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:26.040 But still, I was like, he doesn't know how to.

00:51:28.760 Yeah, you don't learn that life skill.

00:51:31.400 So, yeah.

00:51:31.800 No, he's 52 years old and doesn't know how to live on his own.

00:51:35.000 It's a sad story.

00:51:35.940 That is a sad story.

00:51:37.020 Thanks, Nicky.

00:51:37.800 And that's another reason why you want to get him out.

00:51:40.140 I mean, you're not kicking him out because you're mean and you don't love him.

00:51:42.900 You're kicking him out because you do love them and you want them to experience life.

00:51:47.280 Yeah, we'll go with that.

00:51:48.600 Yeah, we will.

00:51:49.360 We'll go with that.

00:51:49.700 We'll go with that.

00:51:51.120 Jeff in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:54.900 Pat and Jeffy, such a pleasure to talk to you guys.

00:51:57.620 You too.

00:51:57.980 Pat, I remember meeting you in King of Prussia for a book signing.

00:52:02.260 That was awesome.

00:52:03.360 That was a while ago.

00:52:04.820 Were you the guy that was just like about halfway back?

00:52:08.040 Yeah, you had that shirt on.

00:52:09.100 Oh, yeah.

00:52:09.420 Yeah, that was really me.

00:52:10.980 I clearly remember.

00:52:12.900 No, this was for Agenda 21, so years ago.

00:52:15.660 Okay.

00:52:15.920 Anyway, so I'm a little unconventional.

00:52:18.920 I'm a stay-at-home father.

00:52:20.600 And I got a nine-month-old, a two-year-old, and a four-year-old.

00:52:26.280 Wow, you're busy.

00:52:26.840 And I'm already ready for them to go to kindergarten.

00:52:29.240 So I'm 34, and I went to Penn State, and after graduation, I got a job at a healthcare system in their marketing department.

00:52:42.040 And it went great until I got canned, and then that was in 2008, and got moved back in with my mom.

00:52:52.500 And it was just through about three months, I ended up finding a girl, and we moved in together out in Philadelphia.

00:53:03.740 And I just could not wait to get out of that house the moment I stepped foot in there.

00:53:09.660 And I think, dare I say, I mean, I don't know if it was just me personally, but why is it that I feel it's more of like a conservative, liberal thing,

00:53:20.000 where it's like I couldn't wait to get out of there.

00:53:23.060 And I honestly, I had some dark thoughts of going back and living in with my mom the moment I had to, and I needed to get out of there.

00:53:31.540 But I don't understand this mentality of other young guys or girls that don't want to get out, and they're okay with just sticking around.

00:53:40.780 Appreciate it. Thanks, Jeff.

00:53:41.620 And maybe, like—

00:53:42.540 Yeah, we're just—premature hang-up elation there.

00:53:45.700 We're just not wired that way, that we want to live with our parents under their roof for, you know, our adult life.

00:53:54.620 No, we're wired that we want to go out and experience it ourselves and create our own thing and start our own families.

00:54:00.420 Close to.

00:54:01.220 Yeah.

00:54:01.740 And it's just the natural way of things.

00:54:05.020 888-727-BECK.

00:54:08.460 Larry in Florida.

00:54:10.080 Hi, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:54:12.340 Hi.

00:54:12.940 Hey.

00:54:14.260 I'll get right to the point.

00:54:16.080 Okay.

00:54:16.340 The reason they can't get rid of them kids nowadays is because they don't make them do nothing.

00:54:20.540 They won't even empty the trash, for God's sake.

00:54:23.080 Listen, when I went to work at 15 years old, it's a part-time job, because I still went to school.

00:54:32.900 Yeah.

00:54:33.280 I started paying room and board.

00:54:35.400 I was washing cars in a Chevrolet garage, and they made it.

00:54:37.980 There you go.

00:54:38.880 Larry, things have changed a lot.

00:54:42.120 It wasn't much, but at least I learned to support myself.

00:54:46.680 And I knew I had responsibilities.

00:54:49.560 I had to get up in the morning, go to the job, and then go to the morning.

00:54:52.160 Appreciate the call, man.

00:54:53.240 Thank you.

00:54:53.620 Amen.

00:54:55.240 Glenn Beck.

00:54:57.180 Mercury.

00:54:57.540 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:55:11.620 It's Pat and Jeffrey for Glenn this week.

00:55:14.700 888-727-BECK.

00:55:16.500 We've been talking about this really interesting situation of a couple of parents, mom and dad,

00:55:23.100 trying to get their son, a 30-year-old son out of their house.

00:55:26.080 And he refused, so they took him to court and had him evicted through a judge in upstate

00:55:35.320 New York.

00:55:36.000 And he refused that.

00:55:37.240 And he refused that.

00:55:38.100 Right.

00:55:38.880 Yeah, he's going to appeal.

00:55:40.940 It certainly struck a chord, at least with me, because I don't understand it.

00:55:45.240 And I know that we're trying to work our way through it and decide that maybe it's a different

00:55:49.160 mindset, a different time, that whole thing.

00:55:51.700 But, I mean, I just, for me, I just remember, I grew up in Michigan, and I wanted to get

00:55:58.060 out of there almost my whole life.

00:56:00.400 And when I had the opportunity to save enough money to get a bus ticket out of Michigan, I

00:56:06.740 took it.

00:56:08.080 And, you know, that's just the way it is.

00:56:10.240 It is something, because normally, it's not going to be in every case.

00:56:14.140 I didn't have any bank account.

00:56:15.440 Well, that's not the issue, though.

00:56:18.060 Normally, something clicks inside of you, and you want to become independent.

00:56:21.740 You want to do your own thing.

00:56:23.060 You want to have your own life.

00:56:24.200 You don't want your parents telling you what to do every minute of the day.

00:56:27.060 You want to go when you please, come back when you want.

00:56:30.300 Don't come back if you don't want.

00:56:33.160 And, yeah, I mean, that's just the way it is.

00:56:36.920 And if you don't have a lot of money, you try to make do.

00:56:39.240 You have to.

00:56:40.280 You eat Top Ramen every night.

00:56:41.900 Or, in my case, I loved Franco-American spaghetti in a can.

00:56:47.420 That's what I ate.

00:56:48.120 I ate the store-brand shells and cheddar mac and cheese.

00:56:54.360 That was so good.

00:56:55.300 The Velveeta or the powdered cheese?

00:56:55.740 No, no, no.

00:56:56.120 The store.

00:56:57.400 Yeah, the powdered cheese.

00:56:58.520 Powdered cheese.

00:56:58.760 The store-brand.

00:56:59.820 Yeah, that's not good.

00:57:00.480 All right.

00:57:01.100 That was at that time.

00:57:01.620 50 cents a box or something.

00:57:03.180 25 cents a box, maybe.

00:57:04.380 You know, if they end up.

00:57:05.460 At that time, I was working part-time at the grocery store.

00:57:07.620 There were a lot of dented boxes.

00:57:08.920 And the dented ones, they didn't sell out in the aisle.

00:57:12.360 No, they're cheaper.

00:57:12.740 Out in the aisle.

00:57:13.200 They're cheaper.

00:57:13.880 You get those for $20.

00:57:14.800 Quite a bit cheaper.

00:57:15.560 You get those for a quarter.

00:57:19.580 You probably took cases of stuff from the grocery store.

00:57:22.740 No, no, Pat.

00:57:23.900 No.

00:57:24.300 Oh, no.

00:57:25.820 Dare you.

00:57:27.560 Not as far as we know, anyway, right?

00:57:29.440 Not until I got a car.

00:57:30.580 Anyway.

00:57:31.420 No, but I mean, you do what you have to do.

00:57:35.760 I could remember thinking, I can't stomach another one of these shells and cheddar boxes,

00:57:40.260 but I'm hungry and that's what I got.

00:57:42.020 Mm-hmm.

00:57:43.260 Yeah.

00:57:44.160 And you struggle, though.

00:57:45.520 I mean, you struggle.

00:57:47.160 And it's hard.

00:57:48.140 Life is hard.

00:57:49.700 I remember my last winter in Montana, I was living in Billings at the time.

00:57:58.520 The largest city in Montana.

00:58:01.800 Don't talk to me like I don't know that.

00:58:03.260 I thought I'd made it, man, because I'm in Billings now.

00:58:09.100 And there was a two-week period of time where the high temperature for the day didn't exceed

00:58:15.500 19 below.

00:58:17.700 And the block of my car froze.

00:58:20.020 Nice.

00:58:20.520 And so I couldn't start it.

00:58:21.520 Couldn't drive it.

00:58:21.900 And if you tried to start it.

00:58:22.960 Yeah, you break it.

00:58:23.500 A little thing goes.

00:58:23.860 You'll ruin your car.

00:58:25.380 And so it just sat there.

00:58:26.980 And I, you know, you find ways around stuff.

00:58:29.520 Yes, you do.

00:58:30.220 I actually had to walk to work every day for a couple of weeks.

00:58:32.880 Freeze your buns off, man.

00:58:34.220 Or get a ride from a friend if they had time or whatever.

00:58:37.100 But you make do.

00:58:38.220 Yes, you do.

00:58:38.380 And you do the things you have to do.

00:58:39.580 And it actually teaches us how to overcome adversity.

00:58:44.100 Isn't that sort of important?

00:58:45.300 Because we're going to have adversity.

00:58:47.020 It's supposed to.

00:58:47.280 It's supposed to.

00:58:47.880 I mean, I, you know, I remember walking when I first, when I first landed in Florida and

00:58:52.940 not having a car and walking everywhere and you hope to get a ride some days and people

00:58:57.100 will get mad at you some days because you didn't ask them for a ride because you felt

00:59:00.740 bad.

00:59:01.140 You just walked.

00:59:02.360 And I just, you know, I just remember thinking, you know, I'll save enough to get a car.

00:59:09.100 And when I get, I mean, I felt it was the end of the world happy when I got that first

00:59:13.860 car, man.

00:59:14.960 That $80 Oldsmobile.

00:59:16.440 So 80 bucks, man, those were the days.

00:59:20.820 I know you couldn't find those anymore.

00:59:22.460 My first car was in like a 10 year old LTD and it cost me 50 bucks.

00:59:27.420 Right.

00:59:27.940 Well, this car, I remember the guy selling it to me, it was supposed to be more than

00:59:31.160 80 and I was, I was giving him 20 bucks a week until it got to like 150 or $200.

00:59:37.020 That was probably tough to come up with.

00:59:38.380 And, uh, and, uh, after, uh, after I reached 80, he just said, let's come and get the car.

00:59:45.360 Just get it out.

00:59:46.100 So you sort of had your car on layaway.

00:59:47.780 Just get it out.

00:59:48.440 That's great.

00:59:48.900 Just come and get it out.

00:59:49.620 It's like you're buying it at Kmart.

00:59:51.880 Kim in Oklahoma, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:59:55.480 Hi.

00:59:56.000 Hi.

00:59:57.460 Um, I just wanted to add a comment about the kid thing.

01:00:01.140 Yeah.

01:00:01.460 My husband were both veterans.

01:00:03.860 So kind of strict me some more than him.

01:00:06.140 Um, but when we started having kids, we had three, they knew the entire time growing

01:00:10.860 up.

01:00:11.140 And when they graduated, they had three choices, military, go to college.

01:00:16.380 Or out you go.

01:00:18.360 Either way.

01:00:19.060 They're out of the house.

01:00:20.300 Yeah.

01:00:20.680 Either way.

01:00:21.260 They're out.

01:00:21.920 And I have one that left one that went to college and now one just graduated.

01:00:26.660 And he's not making up his mind just yet, but he's got a time limit.

01:00:31.180 They all did.

01:00:31.720 You've got this much time and then out you go.

01:00:35.100 So, so if they don't have a plan by the time they're 18, they're gone anyway.

01:00:38.600 Right.

01:00:38.940 And they have to figure it out.

01:00:40.800 Or would you allow them some leeway to stay with you?

01:00:43.280 I feel like she's allowing this last one, a little leeway.

01:00:45.420 Uh, is there a little leeway there?

01:00:47.840 No, no, no.

01:00:48.460 No.

01:00:48.980 Because what, what happens is, you know, okay, you decide you want to go to college.

01:00:52.700 You have until school starts.

01:00:54.120 You decide you want to go in the military.

01:00:55.440 Sometimes you get a little extra time before you ship out.

01:00:57.400 Um, if you want to just move out, then we'll give you a little bit of time.

01:01:02.580 I mean, I'm not talking years and years.

01:01:03.820 You've got like six months to find some place to go and then get yourself there.

01:01:07.860 And that's great though.

01:01:09.200 I mean, yeah, I know.

01:01:10.500 Thanks, Kim.

01:01:11.340 It's hard to do that.

01:01:12.900 A little bit of tough love.

01:01:14.300 It's hard, especially with the new mindset in our society that everybody's got to be taken care of and pampered.

01:01:19.120 And, and so you kind of maybe even buy into that.

01:01:22.520 You do.

01:01:23.000 A little bit.

01:01:24.440 Absolutely you do.

01:01:26.060 Absolutely you do.

01:01:27.040 So it's really hard to stick to that.

01:01:28.660 Like at 18, that's our rule.

01:01:30.560 See ya.

01:01:31.880 And then, well, I've got nowhere to go.

01:01:34.780 What am I supposed to do?

01:01:36.620 Am I going to live in a cardboard box?

01:01:38.640 I don't know.

01:01:39.160 It's up to you.

01:01:40.560 Make it work.

01:01:41.380 I'll tell you what.

01:01:41.880 You've known this your whole life, that this was your deadline.

01:01:44.860 I spent a small fortune on those camping gear in the garage.

01:01:48.400 You can have the one that says your name on it.

01:01:50.700 It's hard.

01:01:51.580 That's hard to do.

01:01:52.600 It really is.

01:01:53.660 But when you stick to it, I think it benefits everybody in the long run.

01:01:57.540 David in Utah.

01:01:58.780 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:02:01.360 How you guys doing?

01:02:02.360 Good.

01:02:03.100 Yeah.

01:02:03.560 My son, a couple of years ago, he's 16 now.

01:02:08.140 He told me, I'm going to live here forever.

01:02:10.520 I said, that's fine.

01:02:12.720 I got two and a half acres.

01:02:13.940 I'm going, for your 18th birthday, I'm going to buy you a tent.

01:02:17.260 I'm going to write studio apartment on the box.

01:02:19.700 There you go.

01:02:21.000 Going to buy you a cot.

01:02:22.840 Right?

01:02:23.320 Master bedroom on the box.

01:02:25.980 I like it.

01:02:26.580 Get you a canteen.

01:02:27.940 Get you a canteen.

01:02:28.740 Right?

01:02:29.020 Kitchen slash shower.

01:02:30.680 But you did buy a big enough box.

01:02:33.660 It did have a master bedroom in it, huh?

01:02:37.840 I mean, you got a couple acres.

01:02:39.340 What happens when he backs in a trailer?

01:02:42.840 Right?

01:02:43.640 I know.

01:02:45.160 That's my daughter's mindset.

01:02:47.400 I asked her, what kind of car do you want?

01:02:49.060 She goes, well, I'm not really sure yet, but I think I better find something big enough

01:02:54.480 that I can live in just in case.

01:02:57.200 Wow.

01:02:57.560 She has some great life goals, right?

01:03:00.940 That's a good life goal.

01:03:02.160 I asked my daughter that.

01:03:03.180 She goes, I don't need one, Uber.

01:03:06.640 Thanks, David.

01:03:07.340 Appreciate it.

01:03:08.540 888-727-BECK.

01:03:10.400 But again, it's hard to stick to those standards when the time comes.

01:03:14.320 Because then you're like, you're feeling guilty.

01:03:16.560 You're eye to eye.

01:03:17.160 What if something happens to them?

01:03:18.600 I know.

01:03:18.880 You're eye to eye.

01:03:19.660 You're sitting them out there.

01:03:20.880 And you love them.

01:03:21.740 But part of love is making tough decisions on their behalf.

01:03:26.100 I mean, that's part of being the parent.

01:03:29.160 Yeah, right.

01:03:30.620 Connie in Alabama, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:03:32.960 Hi.

01:03:33.680 Hi.

01:03:34.360 I'm listening to y'all and thinking back with my boys.

01:03:38.480 The motto for me is, get them to hate you, they'll leave and never come back home.

01:03:45.380 Has that worked out?

01:03:46.240 Did it work out for you?

01:03:47.300 It has worked out.

01:03:49.180 But, you know, one's married.

01:03:51.200 One's put himself through college after we paid a little bit.

01:03:55.060 But it has worked.

01:03:56.620 Oh, so he didn't hate you that much.

01:03:57.520 But you know what?

01:03:58.000 It's going to make them what they are in the future.

01:04:00.200 Exactly.

01:04:01.300 You may not be where you are today because you didn't go through what you went through.

01:04:06.640 Oh, yeah.

01:04:07.040 I don't think we would be.

01:04:08.060 100%.

01:04:08.420 Yeah.

01:04:08.800 Yeah.

01:04:09.060 100% agree with that.

01:04:10.140 And, you know, kids hate their parents.

01:04:12.020 You know, my job wasn't to be their friend.

01:04:14.580 My job was to be their parent.

01:04:16.080 Exactly.

01:04:16.480 I did my job, and they moved on, and they have a lot of people we know that kids are

01:04:22.860 coming back and never left.

01:04:24.620 Right.

01:04:24.900 And you tell them, get them to hate you, they'll leave and never come back.

01:04:29.960 Thanks, Scotty.

01:04:30.760 Scott in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:04:36.440 Hey, guys.

01:04:37.300 Hey.

01:04:38.200 I'm like most parents.

01:04:39.680 I think we want better for our kids than what we had when we were growing up.

01:04:43.540 Sure.

01:04:44.180 I don't know that that's possible anymore.

01:04:45.460 My parents both died when I was young, so I lived with my sister.

01:04:49.780 So I couldn't wait to get out.

01:04:51.560 As soon as I was 18, I was out, and I moved to Florida and had to do everything on my own.

01:04:55.120 There you go.

01:04:55.660 I paid for my own school, paid for my own car, and I actually had to ride a bike to work

01:05:00.780 until I could afford the car.

01:05:03.460 Right.

01:05:03.860 I mean, you do what you have to do.

01:05:06.280 Yep.

01:05:06.600 Right.

01:05:07.080 And I have two kids, one in college right now.

01:05:09.980 I'll let him stay for the four years because I'm helping pay for the school.

01:05:16.140 And if he moves out and I'm paying for the school, there's no guarantee he's going to

01:05:19.720 go to school.

01:05:20.600 Yeah.

01:05:20.840 I know if he's under my roof, he's going to school and he's getting the education.

01:05:24.120 But if he wants to get, like, a master's or anything after the four years, that's on him.

01:05:30.820 Absolutely.

01:05:31.580 All right.

01:05:31.880 Thanks, Scott.

01:05:32.460 Appreciate it.

01:05:33.560 It's interesting because paying for school and going to school at the same time, that's

01:05:42.440 not a thing anymore.

01:05:43.540 No, it is not.

01:05:44.440 We were just talking about that the other day.

01:05:45.960 Yeah.

01:05:46.240 No, it is not.

01:05:47.220 That is the mindset is they school.

01:05:50.420 Higher education is owed to them.

01:05:53.440 And they should be able to go to whatever college they want without any repercussions

01:05:58.800 for the future.

01:05:59.860 And I don't want any college debt anymore.

01:06:03.140 Well, sorry.

01:06:04.680 That's not how it works.

01:06:06.000 Now, you've got a lot of options.

01:06:07.340 You could try to work for a scholarship.

01:06:09.220 You could get a loan.

01:06:11.380 You can get assistance of some sort.

01:06:13.480 You can work your way through college.

01:06:15.340 You can go to a less expensive college.

01:06:17.760 Go to a community college.

01:06:19.340 Go to a trade school.

01:06:20.500 There's so many options.

01:06:21.920 Yes, there are.

01:06:22.560 But not to this generation.

01:06:24.260 They believe they have a Harvard education come to them and it shouldn't cause any debt

01:06:28.620 once they're done.

01:06:30.460 Well, it doesn't work that way.

01:06:33.680 But the Democrats, this is interesting because progressivism has helped us.

01:06:38.040 Yeah, it's helped ruin our society because they have reinforced with the kids that you

01:06:42.980 shouldn't have to have any debt for going to college.

01:06:45.160 I mean, that's what they're trying to do in New York as we speak, right?

01:06:47.500 That should be free.

01:06:48.080 It should be absolutely, yes.

01:06:48.680 I was trying to say, hey, if you live in New York, you go to college for free.

01:06:52.120 Yeah.

01:06:52.440 Period.

01:06:52.720 No matter who you are.

01:06:53.320 And of course, that's not free.

01:06:55.600 No, of course not.

01:06:56.140 Somebody else's society is paying for it for you.

01:06:58.160 The taxpayers are paying it for you.

01:07:00.360 And it's, well, we're reaping what we've sown, aren't we?

01:07:04.820 Yeah, we are.

01:07:05.820 888-727-BECK.

01:07:08.240 More Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program coming up.

01:07:12.260 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:07:26.600 Glenn Beck.

01:07:27.600 We should probably make clear there's obviously some exceptions to this leaving home rule.

01:07:35.780 Now, we have been sparked into this discussion by a 30-year-old who was taken to court by

01:07:42.120 his parents to get him out of the house.

01:07:43.920 Judge ruled in their favor, ordered him to leave.

01:07:46.500 Kid's like, well, no, I can't.

01:07:48.980 So he's appealing it.

01:07:50.760 I mean, ridiculous.

01:07:51.700 And so we're talking about when the appropriate time for your kids to go and not necessarily

01:07:57.800 come back except for a visit.

01:08:00.220 What is that?

01:08:01.100 Where is that cut off?

01:08:02.120 Right.

01:08:02.340 And there's exceptions to every rule.

01:08:04.120 You know, there's certain circumstances in life that warrant you altering.

01:08:09.740 Yes.

01:08:10.440 Your rules a little bit.

01:08:11.940 Or, you know, maybe somebody has a disability or a handicap of some kind.

01:08:17.260 Or the parent is sick and needs help and care.

01:08:20.340 Extenuating circumstances.

01:08:21.460 Yes, there's always something.

01:08:22.540 There's always some exception to the rule.

01:08:25.440 But the generic amount of percentage of children.

01:08:30.160 If you've got a healthy kid.

01:08:31.340 Yes.

01:08:32.180 That just won't leave.

01:08:33.820 That's a problem.

01:08:34.520 That's not good for anybody.

01:08:35.540 No.

01:08:35.720 It's not good for anyone.

01:08:37.120 It's not good for society, I don't think.

01:08:39.360 Because we are wired a certain way to become independent, start our own family, and so on.

01:08:44.780 And that's how you propagate society.

01:08:47.940 But things have changed in the last 20 or 30 years.

01:08:52.180 The mindset has changed.

01:08:54.300 And kids aren't prepared anymore to face adversity.

01:08:57.440 So what are they going to do when they encounter it?

01:08:59.180 I'm going home.

01:09:00.660 And my parents will help me take care of it.

01:09:02.980 They'll just, maybe they'll take care of me.

01:09:05.860 Okay, well, if there's something really extraordinary, yeah, but there's got to be a time limit on that, right?

01:09:13.100 You're not still going to be here when you're 30.

01:09:15.180 And some of the problem, right, is that the, you know, when you say the kids aren't prepared to go out on their own,

01:09:20.260 I mean, that has a lot to do with us just dropping them off at school and saying, take care of our kids,

01:09:26.620 which we've done for 40 or 50 years now.

01:09:30.080 Yes.

01:09:31.400 We gave it back to the school system and said, here, you raise our kids.

01:09:36.280 And we don't know what they've been taught at school in a lot of cases because people just don't ask.

01:09:41.380 How was your day?

01:09:42.440 Okay.

01:09:42.960 They're learning reading, writing, arithmetic.

01:09:44.660 Well, that's not the case in schools anymore either.

01:09:47.320 I wouldn't say.

01:09:47.940 They got an award last week.

01:09:51.480 Got a little piece of paper that said they got B pluses straight through.

01:09:55.160 So we're good.

01:09:57.420 Yeah.

01:09:58.000 I mean, yeah.

01:09:59.640 So, yeah, I mean, there's a lot to this and we probably need to be more involved than sometimes we are in their lives to help them get prepared.

01:10:08.620 No question.

01:10:09.280 To meet the rigors of our faces.

01:10:11.020 We're all guilty of that.

01:10:11.500 Yeah.

01:10:11.700 So, Lauren in New York, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:10:14.780 Hi.

01:10:16.740 Yes.

01:10:17.140 Good morning, guys.

01:10:17.960 Hey.

01:10:18.240 I actually live up here in upstate New York, not too far away from where this all happened, but I'm still confused.

01:10:23.860 Why in the world somebody would want us to live with a parent?

01:10:28.160 Yeah.

01:10:28.480 Yeah.

01:10:28.980 I don't know.

01:10:30.040 Because, yeah, you're right.

01:10:31.000 It's a natural.

01:10:32.100 We've been discussing.

01:10:33.120 It's a natural instinct.

01:10:34.600 It's supposed to be anyway.

01:10:35.640 Yeah.

01:10:35.980 To just want to be independent.

01:10:38.100 Thanks, Lauren.

01:10:38.680 Appreciate it.

01:10:39.840 888-727-BECK.

01:10:41.160 And maybe it is still a natural instinct.

01:10:42.720 It's just that we have developed people that don't know how to react to it.

01:10:47.240 So the natural instinct is, boy, I want to get out, but I don't know how to do it.

01:10:52.520 And a lot of kids now think, well, I want to get out, but I'm not living in a little apartment.

01:10:56.920 I want a house like this.

01:10:57.980 Right.

01:10:58.560 Yeah, it's not coming for a while.

01:10:59.860 It doesn't work that way.

01:11:08.760 Glenn Beck.

01:11:10.800 Mercury.

01:11:16.980 Love.

01:11:18.200 Courage.

01:11:19.820 Truth.

01:11:21.620 Glenn Beck.

01:11:23.340 Glenn's on vacation this week.

01:11:24.760 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy.

01:11:26.700 By the way, you can join me for my own show immediately following this one every weekday.

01:11:32.620 Noon Eastern.

01:11:35.520 Wow.

01:11:36.120 And thank you for the...

01:11:37.120 Every time Pat says, join me on my own show, you hear that.

01:11:40.160 Right.

01:11:40.180 Then you hear that particular sound.

01:11:44.580 Which means that at noon Eastern, it's Pat Gray Unleashed on the Blaze Radio and TV Network.

01:11:50.100 This summer, we're opening up the studios here, as we have done the last quite a few summers,

01:11:56.360 to share the Mercury One collection and have everything from Hollywood and pop culture to torture items and a vampire hunting kit to items that highlight how citizens have exercised their rights throughout history.

01:12:09.820 Some for good and some maybe for not so good.

01:12:13.360 And there's so many historic, you know, truly American, iconic things to look at and see and hear the stories about.

01:12:23.660 It's really fun.

01:12:24.240 Can't wait.

01:12:24.560 Really fun.

01:12:25.220 I hope you'll...

01:12:26.200 If you're not in the DFW area, I hope you'll book the weekend to be here.

01:12:31.880 It's June 15th and 16th.

01:12:36.560 And 17th.

01:12:37.460 And 17th.

01:12:38.180 Yes.

01:12:38.640 So it's the 14th, 15th, 16th, right?

01:12:41.420 Yeah, it's the 14th.

01:12:41.960 15, 16, 17, according to this paperwork right here.

01:12:44.920 15, 16, 17.

01:12:45.980 That's Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

01:12:47.320 But we can jump ahead to my calendar.

01:12:49.580 That's right.

01:12:50.180 15, 16, 17.

01:12:51.720 17th is Father's Day.

01:12:52.920 You know your father wants more than a tie.

01:12:56.040 So just give him the...

01:12:57.120 What a great gift that would be to come down here and...

01:12:59.480 Right.

01:12:59.820 And tour the museum, maybe get a tour from Glenn, or Stu, or Jeffy.

01:13:05.180 I mean, if you're going to want a special Father's Day, you're going to want the tour from me.

01:13:08.540 Obviously.

01:13:09.380 Yeah, I mean...

01:13:10.520 What does Glenn know?

01:13:13.240 It's amazing what he knows about these items.

01:13:15.260 I know it is.

01:13:15.820 And you'll hear all about it.

01:13:17.020 I'm actually...

01:13:17.920 This is the week I'm on vacation, so I will not be leading a tour.

01:13:21.160 I wish you could fly back in or whatever.

01:13:23.480 Man, I'd love to, but I can't.

01:13:25.860 We have planes to fly all over the world in hours.

01:13:28.180 That is true, but no planes come back from where I'll be to here.

01:13:31.420 I don't know.

01:13:31.900 What?

01:13:32.680 Yeah, not that weekend.

01:13:34.200 Anyway, 888-727-BECK.

01:13:36.520 We've been talking about this 30-year-old who was booted out of his parents' house by court order.

01:13:42.220 But he hasn't left yet, even.

01:13:43.360 He hasn't left yet.

01:13:44.040 Yeah, he's fighting that.

01:13:44.700 Now, he was asked to leave.

01:13:47.520 The parents actually drew up eviction notices that he ignored.

01:13:50.280 They offered him money.

01:13:51.700 We'll help you pay for your first month or whatever.

01:13:55.020 Amazing.

01:13:55.340 But please go get a job and get out.

01:13:57.860 Go get a job.

01:13:58.640 That's what you need to do.

01:14:00.640 And he won't.

01:14:02.200 Amazing.

01:14:03.780 There's so many places that you can get jobs at.

01:14:06.120 People are...

01:14:07.120 There's so many jobs out there.

01:14:08.740 Oh, yeah.

01:14:09.520 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:10.060 Where you can...

01:14:10.520 And I know that...

01:14:11.140 Look, you're not going to get a job right away unless you're one of the fortunate ones

01:14:18.280 where you can move into your parent's house similar to what you're living in with your parents.

01:14:25.180 That's part of the problem is that this generation, a lot of them,

01:14:28.940 seem to feel like they're entitled to start where the parents end up.

01:14:32.820 But we didn't start there.

01:14:34.360 No, we did not start there.

01:14:35.680 No, we did not.

01:14:37.800 Far cry from it, by the way.

01:14:40.580 Far cry.

01:14:42.020 Yes.

01:14:42.940 Far cry.

01:14:43.840 Yes.

01:14:43.960 I remember, you know...

01:14:45.460 There were some tough times.

01:14:46.340 I remember milk crates as its tables and, you know, being thankful that that's what we had.

01:14:53.980 Yes.

01:14:54.420 I mean, amazing.

01:14:55.380 Yeah.

01:14:55.940 I mean, you don't make a lot of money at first.

01:14:58.540 You struggle at first.

01:14:59.600 But the mindset is, I guess, now you shouldn't have to do any of that.

01:15:03.760 You should just have luxury from the minute you leave your parents' home and you live in a beautiful mansion

01:15:10.060 like Tom and his supermodel wife.

01:15:14.660 Right, right.

01:15:15.260 And then that's kind of like your...

01:15:17.540 It leads you back into the Instagram world, right?

01:15:21.260 Mm-hmm.

01:15:21.680 Everything and Facebook and Twitter and all, you know, all of social media and the internet

01:15:26.660 of world where everything is fine.

01:15:28.680 Yep.

01:15:29.060 Everything is beautiful.

01:15:30.160 And we are all living and able to go to the south of France whenever we want.

01:15:36.040 And we've just babied and pampered our kids for so long now.

01:15:40.460 And then they've been babied and pampered at school with dumbed-down curriculum.

01:15:46.580 And we've changed the grading system so that nobody fails.

01:15:50.720 Right, right.

01:15:51.320 Everybody succeeds.

01:15:52.560 Everybody gets a participation trophy.

01:15:54.580 You all get the game ball.

01:15:55.920 Nobody loses.

01:15:56.560 Right.

01:15:56.920 Don't you strive to be better.

01:16:00.980 You're fine just the way you are.

01:16:03.540 We've bitten this off.

01:16:05.480 Now we have to chew it.

01:16:06.620 We created this mess.

01:16:08.400 We're reaping what we've sown.

01:16:10.260 And so I think that's, in large part, what's happening.

01:16:13.740 And then you have a guy like this who's 30 years old and apparently has no shame.

01:16:19.540 He's not even embarrassed.

01:16:21.060 Right.

01:16:21.840 Your parents took you to court to evict you and you're still fighting and you're going

01:16:25.380 to appeal and you have, you're not embarrassed by that?

01:16:28.240 I mean, we should try to get a hold of him and see if we can make him embarrassed.

01:16:31.680 We should.

01:16:32.820 We should.

01:16:33.400 I bet he'd be happy to talk to us.

01:16:34.620 I bet he would too.

01:16:35.580 I bet he would too.

01:16:36.160 He cannot be ashamed of it.

01:16:37.420 Because he'd be like, look, yeah, I'm happy.

01:16:39.580 Yeah, my parents.

01:16:40.720 They don't use it down here anyway.

01:16:42.300 I don't know why they're mad that I'm living here.

01:16:46.780 888-727-BECK, Josh in Oklahoma.

01:16:49.800 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:16:51.920 Hey, Pat.

01:16:52.700 Hey, Jeff.

01:16:53.940 I'm a huge fan, by the way.

01:16:55.560 I listen every day to you guys on Unleashed.

01:16:57.920 Thank you.

01:16:58.580 Thank you.

01:16:58.960 Shout out to the program.

01:17:01.760 I've got a friend in Billings, Montana.

01:17:05.580 He lives in his parents' basement and he will be 41 years old this year.

01:17:10.940 Oh, my gosh.

01:17:12.440 Oh, my gosh.

01:17:13.800 41?

01:17:15.280 Is Billings still the largest city in Montana?

01:17:18.340 Yes, even more so than it used to be.

01:17:20.160 It's clear that we're talking about the same Billings.

01:17:21.920 Yeah.

01:17:22.480 Yeah.

01:17:22.720 So, this guy is 41, lives in his parents' basement.

01:17:27.380 Does he not have a job or what's going on in his life?

01:17:30.320 Well, no, no, no.

01:17:30.940 He originally moved out and got into financial trouble, so he brought himself back.

01:17:36.360 You know, the parents were going to take care of him just like they do.

01:17:39.440 However, he got really, really comfortable, and now he's very financially stable.

01:17:45.320 In fact, for his 40th birthday, he flew himself over to Europe for two weeks.

01:17:50.200 He flies himself over to go to the premier soccer games.

01:17:56.020 He loves that stuff.

01:17:58.580 Wow.

01:17:59.160 He drives a very nice car.

01:18:01.240 He's doing quite well, but he's not planning on going anywhere.

01:18:07.380 That's for sure.

01:18:08.140 And are the parents okay with that, or would they like him to leave?

01:18:11.560 I think they're frustrated, but they have accepted it at this point.

01:18:17.120 Because he's 41.

01:18:18.060 They must be in their 60s, and they're still supporting their son at home?

01:18:21.240 Well, he's providing, right?

01:18:22.320 I mean, if he's making some money, he's got to be providing a little bit, right?

01:18:25.000 Do you know that?

01:18:25.620 Is he paying rent or anything?

01:18:27.440 He pays half of the bills.

01:18:29.600 Oh, okay.

01:18:30.680 All right.

01:18:30.900 Well, at least you got that much going for him.

01:18:32.940 But still, what about a family?

01:18:35.920 Does he have no interest in a family?

01:18:37.580 And I'm not sure that that's going to be in the cards for him.

01:18:44.800 Oh, really?

01:18:45.700 Yeah.

01:18:46.140 He may be interested, but as you were talking about earlier, kind of difficult to bring

01:18:50.900 someone back to your place.

01:18:53.480 Yes.

01:18:54.420 When it's your parents' basement.

01:18:56.340 Yeah.

01:18:57.000 Yeah.

01:18:57.560 Yeah.

01:18:58.060 All right.

01:18:58.440 Thanks, Josh.

01:18:59.160 Not the best way to impress your date.

01:19:01.480 Plus, if he's in his 40s, and you're right, the folks have got to be up there, right?

01:19:06.040 And so, you know, at some point, you're like, come on over and we'll watch some TV.

01:19:11.460 I'll just roll mom into the bedroom and we'll be okay.

01:19:14.940 I mean, don't worry.

01:19:15.940 She doesn't come out often.

01:19:17.760 Susan in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:20.200 Hi.

01:19:21.640 Hey.

01:19:22.140 Hey.

01:19:25.340 Thank you for taking my call.

01:19:26.900 Mm-hmm.

01:19:28.560 This is where you...

01:19:29.460 My brother...

01:19:30.280 Mm-hmm.

01:19:31.520 My brother is almost 60.

01:19:33.560 It ends up good.

01:19:34.480 The story ends up good, but...

01:19:35.620 Okay.

01:19:36.060 He was living in his parents' home until he was over 30, and they finally sold their house.

01:19:42.280 To get him out?

01:19:44.680 Well, I think they were ready to sell their house, but that's what, you know, catapulted

01:19:49.240 him out of the house.

01:19:49.980 But he cared so much about just living and milking the system that he didn't think about

01:19:54.460 buying the house?

01:19:56.620 Oh, he didn't have that kind of money.

01:19:59.240 Okay.

01:19:59.720 Oh, yeah.

01:20:00.260 So, once they sold the house and he got out, he got back up on his feet eventually, apparently?

01:20:08.440 Well, no.

01:20:10.480 It was a sad story.

01:20:11.980 He sank into, you know, addictions, and it wasn't going well, but he's much better now.

01:20:18.300 He's, you know, on a clean and sober path, and he doesn't have a successful career.

01:20:24.120 I mean, nothing like that ever happened, but he helps people.

01:20:28.120 I mean, he's the kindest heart.

01:20:30.180 He lives on his own.

01:20:31.220 Well, he actually rents a house from me.

01:20:32.900 But, you know, he's independent, and he's a contributing member of society.

01:20:38.420 He helps old people.

01:20:39.720 He's got a passion for old people.

01:20:42.380 And, you know, my parents both passed away, and he did come back for three years after

01:20:48.340 my mother had died, but he wasn't helping.

01:20:50.460 He was just another burden at that time.

01:20:53.760 But things all worked out.

01:20:55.140 So, Susan, let me ask you a question.

01:20:58.200 If he, and this is just a hypothetical question, I'm sure it will never happen.

01:21:02.900 If he decided that he didn't want to pay you rent anymore in the house that you were renting

01:21:06.960 to him, would you be able to evict him?

01:21:10.600 I don't think I would.

01:21:13.100 But, yeah, I would.

01:21:14.420 He signed a lease and everything.

01:21:17.800 If he was only unable to pay because of, you know, illness or something like that, I mean.

01:21:24.780 Of course.

01:21:25.220 I would continue to take care of him.

01:21:27.380 Right.

01:21:27.920 But he's doing everything he can.

01:21:29.320 I mean, he's, and, you know, he totally regrets those years of the cloud that he was in.

01:21:35.640 But, yeah.

01:21:36.700 And he's, he's, of all, there are four brothers and a sister.

01:21:39.880 He's my favorite.

01:21:40.680 He's the kindest part.

01:21:42.240 He is, you know, he's, he's come a long way, but he had to go through a really hard

01:21:46.340 path to get there.

01:21:47.180 And, of course, my parents coddled him, you know.

01:21:50.540 Yeah.

01:21:50.780 And this was 30 years ago.

01:21:52.280 This was 30 years ago.

01:21:53.720 It's not just this generation.

01:21:56.320 It's, it's, it was probably a little more unusual than, though, wasn't it?

01:22:03.040 I mean, it was looked at differently for sure.

01:22:04.820 I think so, yeah.

01:22:05.840 Yeah.

01:22:06.240 Yeah.

01:22:06.780 All right.

01:22:07.180 Thanks, Susan.

01:22:07.620 When you look at extended, extended families living with, uh, with children and grandchildren,

01:22:13.260 and I think it happens more nowadays.

01:22:15.400 It used to happen a hundred years ago.

01:22:19.000 Grandparents always lived with their, you know, children and their grandchildren because

01:22:23.940 they were old and they couldn't work anymore.

01:22:25.800 There was no social security system.

01:22:28.000 Yeah.

01:22:28.280 On the back end of life, that was not unusual.

01:22:30.980 Yeah.

01:22:31.200 Appreciate it.

01:22:31.680 Thanks, Susan.

01:22:32.540 When, when you're getting old, yes, then, you know, the, the kids take care of the parents

01:22:37.440 like the parents took care of the kids when they were young.

01:22:40.120 So that makes total sense, but that doesn't, now that is not happening as much.

01:22:45.540 Right.

01:22:46.000 And the opposite is.

01:22:47.000 Right.

01:22:47.860 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

01:22:53.100 Glenn Beck.

01:22:54.980 Mercury.

01:23:03.060 Glenn Beck.

01:23:04.020 It's, uh, Pat and Jeffy for Glenn, who's on vacation this week.

01:23:09.560 We're hearing more and more about these, uh, sonic attacks.

01:23:13.200 Another, another one that we had, where were they happening?

01:23:16.980 Uh, Cuba, right?

01:23:18.460 Our diplomats in Cuba were subject to them.

01:23:20.560 They had to come home because of it.

01:23:22.080 Yeah.

01:23:22.380 Now there's been a sonic attack on the American consulate in China, apparently.

01:23:26.920 And a staffer has suffered a brain injury as a result.

01:23:31.600 Wow.

01:23:32.420 So, uh, they're looking into that, uh, to see what's going on.

01:23:36.480 We've been talking about this, uh, amazing story of a 30 year old lived with his parents.

01:23:41.160 They decided, okay, it's time for you to leave.

01:23:44.180 He said, no.

01:23:45.440 So they went to a lawyer, actually had eviction notices written up.

01:23:48.580 Several of them, which he ignored.

01:23:50.420 Think of that.

01:23:51.020 Not leaving.

01:23:52.000 Your parents have to write up an eviction notice to get rid of you.

01:23:55.000 And you're still not embarrassed.

01:23:56.000 Wow.

01:23:57.400 Right.

01:23:58.000 You're still okay with it.

01:23:59.360 And then you're okay to go to court.

01:24:00.940 So they took him to court.

01:24:01.980 In front of a judge.

01:24:03.080 Judge ruled.

01:24:04.100 Okay.

01:24:04.440 Get out of their house.

01:24:06.020 He still hasn't.

01:24:07.320 He's appealing.

01:24:08.280 Wow.

01:24:09.260 Really something.

01:24:11.020 I mean, he's going to, they're going to have to sell.

01:24:13.140 Right.

01:24:13.360 They're going to have to be like the lady that just called.

01:24:15.340 Sell the house to get him out.

01:24:16.620 Yeah.

01:24:17.120 Yeah.

01:24:18.360 888-727-BECK.

01:24:19.840 Uh, Dakota in Texas.

01:24:21.560 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:24:22.900 Hi.

01:24:23.500 Hey, how's it going?

01:24:24.700 Doing good.

01:24:26.000 Uh, first I wanted to say I'm a, I'm a long time listener.

01:24:29.640 First time caller.

01:24:30.600 I mean, I love y'all show.

01:24:31.920 Appreciate it.

01:24:32.420 Thank you.

01:24:32.880 Um, but, uh, yeah, the story is absolutely insane.

01:24:37.120 I mean, um, I turned 18, I'm only 26 now.

01:24:40.580 Um, I don't have years and years of experience, but I mean, you know, my dad asked me to leave

01:24:47.100 the house when I turned 18 and, uh, he offered me like this guy's parents that he offered me

01:24:52.700 money.

01:24:52.980 I mean, he paid my rent, he bought me groceries, um, all that stuff.

01:24:58.760 And here's the thing.

01:24:59.940 I squandered all of that.

01:25:02.140 I mean, I took full advantage of it, um, became addicted to drugs, dropped out of college.

01:25:07.680 And when that happened, my dad said, you know what?

01:25:11.100 That didn't work.

01:25:12.100 You're on your own.

01:25:13.760 You're on your complete and total run.

01:25:16.260 And, uh, I went into some really dark times, but because of that, and me and my dad are

01:25:21.220 still very close today.

01:25:22.940 He's forgiven me for, uh, for what I did, but he, uh, because of that today, because of

01:25:28.720 what he did, because of him dropping me and saying, you know what, you need to learn how

01:25:33.360 to do this on your own.

01:25:34.060 Cause I can't help you.

01:25:35.340 I'm a better man for it.

01:25:36.520 Now I have a successful career.

01:25:38.400 Um, I have a loving wife, a house.

01:25:41.440 I mean, everything's working out.

01:25:43.380 And if he had continued to baby and coddle me, have you talked with your dad about how

01:25:48.380 tough that was to just say, nope, that didn't work.

01:25:52.620 So no more good luck.

01:25:54.800 That's not easy to do.

01:25:56.300 You are kidding.

01:25:56.880 When you see your son in a spiral, like you apparently were in that, that could be really

01:26:04.120 ugly.

01:26:05.320 He's told me, he told me it's the hardest thing he ever had to do.

01:26:08.920 Yeah.

01:26:09.640 Watch from a distance as I just continued to, what, what seemed to just throw my entire

01:26:15.380 life away.

01:26:16.000 And it wasn't until, I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it, but it wasn't until I found

01:26:19.960 Christ that I actually.

01:26:21.880 Yeah.

01:26:22.280 I don't know if you're allowed to talk about it on this show either.

01:26:24.660 No, there's a separation of church and radio.

01:26:27.440 Yeah.

01:26:27.920 Separation of church and radio laws in the, in the constitution.

01:26:32.540 So, uh, yeah.

01:26:34.020 So what exactly happened when he cut you off and you were on your own and you didn't have

01:26:38.580 any money and, and where did you live?

01:26:41.000 Were you able to continue to at least stay in, in wherever it was you were living?

01:26:47.220 Um, well, to be honest, I, uh, I turned the apartment that I was living into a drug house

01:26:53.360 where we sold drugs.

01:26:54.760 Well, that's what, that's, that's one way to go.

01:26:57.580 It's an entrepreneur.

01:26:59.360 Yeah.

01:27:00.180 And, uh, man, it led to, it led to me becoming an extreme methamphetamine addict, homeless,

01:27:07.340 living on the streets.

01:27:08.780 Really?

01:27:09.220 And all, all along my dad would, uh, he would, he would call me and talk to me and he'd say,

01:27:15.620 I'm always here for you emotionally, but I'm, I'm, I'll never give you another penny.

01:27:19.660 Wow.

01:27:20.120 Get your, your stuff together.

01:27:22.300 And to this day, he's very proud.

01:27:24.480 I mean, he, he just went to my wife's graduation.

01:27:26.940 Uh, she graduated college and you know, he's, he's just, he's extremely proud of where I've

01:27:32.000 come now.

01:27:32.640 And I actually do some work with a local rehab here.

01:27:35.800 This is great.

01:27:36.480 Yeah.

01:27:36.840 This rehab.

01:27:37.640 Yeah.

01:27:38.480 Well, we're proud of you too.

01:27:40.000 Uh, no kidding.

01:27:41.120 Way to go.

01:27:41.640 Uh, Dakota, not everybody pulls out of that and, and especially not this quickly.

01:27:45.700 Appreciate the call.

01:27:46.520 Thanks.

01:27:46.880 I, I don't know if I could, I'm strong enough to do that.

01:27:49.540 Wow.

01:27:49.720 I mean that I was just thinking about that.

01:27:51.540 I don't know.

01:27:52.360 His dad's a hero.

01:27:55.220 Cause virtually impossible, almost impossible.

01:27:58.180 Yes.

01:27:58.960 Uh, John in Montana, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:28:01.380 Hi.

01:28:02.380 Hey Pat.

01:28:03.300 Hey.

01:28:03.420 Um, yeah, I've got, uh, my girlfriend lives with me and so does her.

01:28:06.840 My son, her son is 20 years old.

01:28:08.600 High school dropout.

01:28:09.900 Oh boy.

01:28:10.620 Um, does not have a job, has no intention of moving out.

01:28:14.460 I found him a job, uh, doing a labor for a contracting company.

01:28:19.560 Uh, he would be making Davis bacon wages, working for the state, you know, doing state

01:28:23.540 jobs.

01:28:24.120 Yeah.

01:28:24.860 And it was on, it was on the road, but he'd be on the road five days a week and they put

01:28:30.920 him up in a motel.

01:28:31.800 They pay for all of his expenses.

01:28:33.900 His grandfather told him not to take it because he would be traveling.

01:28:38.260 Oh my gosh.

01:28:39.120 Well, that's part of the problem.

01:28:40.060 And then I didn't even get this kid to pick up dog poop.

01:28:42.200 And I'll tell you what, the next person that says to me, marijuana, it does not screw up

01:28:46.000 your, screw a person up.

01:28:47.680 All I do is point to him because look what it did.

01:28:50.720 It took every bit of ambition out of this kid that he ever, that he would ever have.

01:28:56.380 Really sad.

01:28:57.320 Wow.

01:28:57.640 And I keep telling my girlfriend, you know, he's going to be living with us when he's

01:29:02.260 40 years old.

01:29:03.020 He's going to be living in the basement.

01:29:04.280 She says, no, he won't.

01:29:05.140 He'll, he'll be out by then.

01:29:06.280 He'll be motivated.

01:29:07.380 And I just proved me wrong, but I don't want to wait another 20 years to be proved wrong.

01:29:12.220 Yeah, definitely.

01:29:14.080 Where, where in Montana do you live?

01:29:16.880 It's in the Billions area.

01:29:18.200 It's not actually Billions.

01:29:19.580 It's in the Billions area.

01:29:20.480 I don't want to say because it's a smaller town.

01:29:22.440 Yeah.

01:29:22.660 Right, right, right.

01:29:23.240 I got you.

01:29:24.280 Uh, so are, are there any, like, can you get him into rehab in the area?

01:29:30.100 Um, I don't know that he's even doing marijuana anymore.

01:29:33.720 My girlfriend tells me that he's not, there are never any drugs in the house because I

01:29:37.680 too have a son who actually is motivated.

01:29:40.260 He's 15 and he's already working out at the country club.

01:29:44.160 You know, I mean, my wife, my ex-wife and I, we do have a very strong work ethic.

01:29:48.640 We, you know, we were both raised that way and my son loves money.

01:29:52.160 So capitalism can be a really good motivator.

01:29:57.740 Really good.

01:29:58.820 Uh, all right.

01:29:59.580 It is.

01:29:59.960 Yeah.

01:30:00.440 And this, his mom even buys him his cigarettes, this 20 year old.

01:30:04.600 Jeez.

01:30:05.340 Oh man.

01:30:06.200 I was just wondering, maybe I could move in, stop by, say hello for a little while, you

01:30:09.880 know, hang out.

01:30:11.200 Well, you were just talking about maybe moving to the Billings area.

01:30:13.960 I was.

01:30:14.300 At the greater Billings area.

01:30:15.280 Oh man.

01:30:15.940 Yeah.

01:30:16.120 You know, it's the largest city in Montana.

01:30:18.600 It's exactly right.

01:30:20.000 Thanks, John.

01:30:20.620 Triple eight.

01:30:21.840 Seven, two, seven back.

01:30:29.960 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:30:41.200 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:30:43.880 With Pat and Jeffy, triple eight, seven, two, seven back.

01:30:50.040 Uh, that, uh, solo star Wars story starts, uh, opens on Friday and they're expecting the

01:30:58.180 lowest opening of all the star Wars movies, which wouldn't surprise me.

01:31:03.020 Oh, me either.

01:31:05.000 And people are speculating that it's star Wars burnout.

01:31:08.760 It's just bad movie burnout.

01:31:11.620 We don't want to see, I mean, they've been substandard movies, I think as a rule, it's

01:31:18.560 just me, but I did not like, and I thought I did at first, but then I saw it again at

01:31:23.000 home and I thought, how did I like this at first?

01:31:25.680 This sucks.

01:31:28.960 This is, but you know, you give it so much slack because it's star Wars and I've such

01:31:35.020 been such a big fan since it came out that, you know, you just want to love it.

01:31:40.040 You want to.

01:31:40.660 And so they've got that goodwill baked into the franchise and then they disappoint us almost

01:31:48.120 every time, but you're not that big a fan.

01:31:50.340 You're not a big star Wars fan.

01:31:51.900 You won't be going to this solo.

01:31:55.060 Max wants to go.

01:31:57.180 He seems to like the stupid shows.

01:32:00.380 I can't take it.

01:32:02.280 Uh, why?

01:32:02.760 Because you can't take star Wars.

01:32:05.180 I've got it so much, so much.

01:32:06.860 What?

01:32:07.120 It's just so much of nothing.

01:32:08.580 They're just not good.

01:32:10.580 I went back.

01:32:11.480 I even went back and watched.

01:32:12.360 The original three are great.

01:32:13.620 Okay.

01:32:14.060 And they're great.

01:32:14.880 Are they?

01:32:15.480 Yes, I think so.

01:32:16.540 Are they?

01:32:17.040 I love them.

01:32:17.580 Because I went back and watched them again because we had to watch everything.

01:32:20.660 All the movies in order.

01:32:21.820 Heaven forbid we watch them out of order.

01:32:24.480 And, uh, and then, so you get to the originals and you think, okay, at least I remember this

01:32:29.600 in my head is being good and I can make it through this one.

01:32:32.120 But they aren't that good either.

01:32:34.240 No, I love them.

01:32:35.600 I love them.

01:32:35.980 You'll never convince me the first three aren't, aren't good because they are.

01:32:40.160 And I'm going to take a rash, a wrath from people because the star Wars lovers.

01:32:44.240 Because you're an idiot.

01:32:48.120 And I know that I'm fine.

01:32:50.240 I don't hate them.

01:32:51.640 Yeah.

01:32:51.920 I'm all, you know, it's fine.

01:32:53.640 You're just not that into it.

01:32:54.560 Right.

01:32:54.820 Yeah, it's fine.

01:32:56.900 Uh, you know, you have the right to be wrong.

01:33:00.400 This is America.

01:33:04.340 Uh, also, uh, just to bring you up to speed on a couple of other things.

01:33:08.820 Um, the Trump, Donald Trump and Fox news, uh, spy gate situation heating up.

01:33:16.700 The president's been tweeting about the spy gate scenario.

01:33:19.260 That's the biggest scandal in American history.

01:33:21.500 I don't know if they have an ounce of evidence of it.

01:33:24.920 Uh, if there's any kind of guy that said so, but somebody is saying so.

01:33:29.360 Okay.

01:33:29.920 You mean they don't have proof?

01:33:31.480 A guy said so.

01:33:33.080 Yes.

01:33:33.960 Yes.

01:33:34.520 And the president tweeted about it.

01:33:36.120 Thank you.

01:33:36.520 So it's gotta be true.

01:33:37.400 And it was on Fox and friends.

01:33:39.940 So it's like triply true now.

01:33:43.560 Thank you.

01:33:44.240 Also, uh, of concern is yet another Ebola outbreak in Africa.

01:33:50.340 Pretty bad one.

01:33:51.100 Yeah.

01:33:51.440 And they say that, uh, superstition in the democratic Republic of Congo is causing them some pretty

01:33:59.660 serious trouble.

01:34:00.540 Some people are refusing medical care and instead they turn to preachers and prayer to chase

01:34:06.500 away the threat because they think it's coming from some kind of curse.

01:34:11.280 Yeah.

01:34:11.500 And now it's also moved into a, a, a big metropolitan area that, uh, makes it, you know, obviously

01:34:17.340 grow faster when the, when the sickness starts spreading.

01:34:19.860 Yeah.

01:34:20.400 Um, is there really concerned about it?

01:34:21.620 Cause it's usually, uh, they felt pretty comfortable as comfortable as you can feel with it because

01:34:27.660 it's in the outskirts and in the, uh, you know, in the country, but, and once it hits

01:34:32.260 the metropolitan areas, it could spread big time.

01:34:34.440 And there's also concern if that wasn't enough for you, there's also a big concern now of

01:34:39.080 yellow fever, uh, coming from, uh, South America and Brazil.

01:34:43.280 And so, uh, don't, I mean, you don't have to worry about it.

01:34:46.400 You've been, you've been, I mean, everyone, everyone has been vaccinated, right?

01:34:50.980 Wait, uh, yellow fever vaccination.

01:34:54.300 I didn't even know there was one.

01:34:55.840 I don't know that there is.

01:34:56.860 I don't think I'm up to speed on my yellow fever vaccinations.

01:35:00.220 Oh man, you need to get that, you need to take that thing care of.

01:35:05.260 You know what?

01:35:05.900 Maybe you tie this into, uh, what we've been talking about for the last hour or so.

01:35:10.600 The, uh, 30 year old who won't leave his house.

01:35:13.080 Maybe the parents tell this guy we've been exposed to Ebola.

01:35:17.140 You have to leave.

01:35:17.740 We gotta be better get out for your own safety.

01:35:19.940 Now, right now, put a mask on.

01:35:22.600 Isn't wearing a mask worth getting rid of the 30 year old?

01:35:25.400 Five minutes ago, I was just bleeding out my eyes.

01:35:28.180 Now I wiped it all off, but tremendous idea.

01:35:32.000 You don't want to be anywhere near this.

01:35:34.140 You don't want none of this.

01:35:36.220 So unless the kid says, I don't care.

01:35:39.600 This guy might, I don't know.

01:35:41.680 Uh, Michael in Tennessee.

01:35:43.580 You're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

01:35:46.360 Hello.

01:35:47.000 Hey, after graduation.

01:35:49.180 My father walked up to me, put his arm around me.

01:35:52.500 He said, son, I'm proud of you.

01:35:53.700 I love you.

01:35:54.260 You got six months to get out of my house.

01:35:57.560 He gave you a six whole months, six whole months.

01:36:00.800 Three months.

01:36:01.580 I found a job, moved 400 miles away and started my life.

01:36:05.560 Uh, I moved to Tennessee.

01:36:08.200 I, uh, my furniture consists of four milk crates.

01:36:12.480 I got from the grocery store and, uh, some boards that I picked up at a construction site

01:36:17.020 to make tables.

01:36:18.160 Wow.

01:36:19.180 I know.

01:36:19.920 I'm with you.

01:36:20.640 I'm going to have kids.

01:36:21.360 I, I wanted out.

01:36:23.800 Yeah.

01:36:24.360 So you wanted out just as badly as he wanted you out.

01:36:28.300 Yes.

01:36:28.800 Yeah.

01:36:29.520 Yeah.

01:36:29.740 And that's the natural way of things.

01:36:31.060 Yes, it is.

01:36:31.700 It's supposed to be.

01:36:32.420 Yeah.

01:36:32.620 It's supposed to be.

01:36:33.640 I've got people here that I work with that are in their upper forties that are still living

01:36:37.760 with their parents.

01:36:38.580 My gosh.

01:36:40.000 Embarrassing.

01:36:40.480 Yeah.

01:36:40.920 It's amazing.

01:36:41.540 It's embarrassing.

01:36:42.660 Not to them.

01:36:43.200 Apparently.

01:36:44.080 Thanks, Michael.

01:36:44.920 I guess not.

01:36:45.620 To those of us who understand the situation it is.

01:36:48.460 I mean, I, I do understand the stories of, um, you say, get a divorce and you go back

01:36:58.000 to, uh, have a roof over your head for maybe a month to, right.

01:37:04.340 With the, if your parents have a house and a space for you.

01:37:07.640 Yeah.

01:37:08.360 Uh, you could go there for a couple of months.

01:37:10.080 Yeah.

01:37:10.460 I could see that.

01:37:11.300 And then most parents extend that opportunity.

01:37:14.820 Like if you're, if you've fallen on really hard times of circumstances, you know, a lot

01:37:20.040 of things have gone against you and you just need a little, I need to breathe.

01:37:23.560 I need to breathe a little bit.

01:37:24.580 A hand up, not a hand out.

01:37:26.960 Then that, you know, that's one thing, but coming back to stay.

01:37:30.880 No, no, no.

01:37:32.760 Cindy in Virginia.

01:37:34.340 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:37:35.800 Hi.

01:37:36.380 Um, I'll get straight to the point.

01:37:38.940 Um, first of all, the fact that his parents have coddled him all these years and never

01:37:43.600 held him accountable, uh, which they should have started doing from childhood on.

01:37:49.680 That's one part of the problem, but the other part of the problem and John in Montana picked

01:37:54.600 up on it too.

01:37:55.940 As soon as I saw that guy on TV yesterday on the news, I, the first thing that hit me was

01:38:02.080 I'll bet a buck.

01:38:03.080 He smokes pot every single day.

01:38:06.280 Everybody I know that still smokes pot, they live in, they live in another world.

01:38:14.540 Yeah.

01:38:15.060 Another world of procrastination and not doing any more than they absolutely have to.

01:38:21.120 And I really think that's a big part of the problem.

01:38:24.520 It, so you're, you're saying it just saps the motivation out of people?

01:38:28.620 Yeah.

01:38:29.100 The drive.

01:38:29.720 I mean, it, you know, they, they become psychologically addicted and well, I'll go look for a job tomorrow,

01:38:35.820 but right now, let me get high.

01:38:37.420 Now I saw the, I saw the guy too.

01:38:39.420 Um, and there's, there's some pictures online if you want to check it out.

01:38:42.380 Uh, he's got long hair and a beard.

01:38:44.560 So that's what tipped you off that he's maybe a pothead.

01:38:47.520 Well, he looked like something out of the seventies.

01:38:51.340 He kind of did.

01:38:52.580 He kind of did.

01:38:54.060 And I do, you know, I mean, I grew up with a lot of these people and I, I, you know,

01:38:59.080 Yeah.

01:38:59.860 I've seen it, I see it even now sometimes when I'm out and about, you can just tell.

01:39:04.800 And, um, it just takes you down that path that it's pathetic because I'm sure he has

01:39:12.720 no idea what, what, what, how good he would feel if he could just regain his self-respect.

01:39:17.820 Could well be.

01:39:18.320 Thanks, Cindy.

01:39:18.840 Appreciate it.

01:39:19.720 Uh, doing a little profiling there of a long hair, definite profiling of a long hair.

01:39:24.980 It's a pretty nice house.

01:39:26.200 I just, this is the first time I've seen the picture.

01:39:27.720 I haven't seen the house.

01:39:28.820 Huh?

01:39:29.600 Yeah.

01:39:29.760 I'd like to see the house, but the kid, the kid, he's 30.

01:39:32.920 The, the guy, uh, is a long hair and, uh, Cindy is doing some extrapolation that long

01:39:39.920 hair equals pothead, which because he's white, it's okay to do.

01:39:47.220 If this was a minority, that would be completely out of bounds and we'd have to shut that down.

01:39:52.960 Yeah.

01:39:52.980 We'd have to snap you back on that whole theory, but because he's white, we'll allow it.

01:39:58.140 We'll allow it.

01:39:58.880 And plus it looks as though she could be right.

01:40:01.640 That he's a pothead.

01:40:03.620 Yeah.

01:40:04.140 So you also are profiling this poor man.

01:40:06.100 I'm just saying she could be right.

01:40:07.480 I'm not profiling.

01:40:08.300 I'm just, oh, uh, I mean, possible.

01:40:11.300 It is possible.

01:40:12.820 It is possible.

01:40:13.620 And I will say that there's a number of, you know, when you, unless you're already established

01:40:22.420 in some sort of position of being a super smart, uh, person, uh, at a particular place of

01:40:34.000 employment, you're, there's a lot of places that you would go to looking like that and

01:40:37.620 they would say, no, thanks.

01:40:40.600 Oh, okay.

01:40:41.240 You're saying it's tough to get a job when you've got that long scraggly hair that looks

01:40:46.220 like it came from 1973.

01:40:48.080 Yeah, probably.

01:40:49.040 It probably makes it more difficult.

01:40:50.780 Sure.

01:40:51.220 There's plenty of places though to hire.

01:40:52.740 I mean, you can tie it up in a knot.

01:40:54.080 I mean, people wait on you all the time with long hair and a beard.

01:40:56.800 Mm-hmm.

01:40:57.200 Who cares?

01:40:59.020 Ed in Florida.

01:41:00.240 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:41:01.620 Guys.

01:41:02.500 Hey guys, you guys are doing great.

01:41:04.100 Thank you.

01:41:04.500 Hey, I get right to it.

01:41:05.560 My son, loving very much, great young man, but boy, the last year and a half, you know,

01:41:11.100 towards the end of high school was tough.

01:41:13.700 Never studious at all, but, uh, really started hanging around the wrong crowd and, you know,

01:41:18.340 drugs, all types, um, smoking friends of his, um, got addicted and had to go through rehab

01:41:25.680 and all that.

01:41:26.720 But, um, anyway, and, you know, just went and get a job around the house and so forth,

01:41:31.460 but still in school, man, 60 days before graduation looks at me and says, dad,

01:41:35.660 you know, I don't need my degree.

01:41:37.940 Excuse me.

01:41:39.100 Yeah.

01:41:39.460 I'm just going to drop out.

01:41:40.660 Well, I couldn't get, you know, he did.

01:41:42.980 And then, uh, you know, within two days, you slept in the house, second day into it,

01:41:47.740 still didn't have a job or anything like that.

01:41:49.440 It's like, son, this house is for, uh, moving forward or moving on.

01:41:53.180 This is a positive place to be.

01:41:55.060 You know, you need to go.

01:41:56.900 And I booted him out, man.

01:41:58.300 If your kid lives there until 40, shame on you.

01:42:00.880 It's your deal.

01:42:01.680 He's not a kid.

01:42:02.360 It's a damn man.

01:42:04.060 You know, there, you know,

01:42:05.760 the sucker fish likes eating food off the bottom.

01:42:08.480 You know, if, if you're going to, if you have no motivation and we need sucker fish,

01:42:12.760 we need people to be on the bottom.

01:42:14.520 But if some, if you're going to coddle someone and they can get along on the bottom,

01:42:18.660 shame on you.

01:42:19.340 Cause if they figure out they need to move up the food chain, good.

01:42:21.900 You can't give them that motivation.

01:42:23.420 They need to find it.

01:42:24.460 And you're keeping them from finding it.

01:42:26.000 Boot them out.

01:42:26.520 My son went on and got a job in construction, then moved on to electrician where he wanted

01:42:31.320 to be.

01:42:32.360 Lives in Miami.

01:42:33.680 I've been down there to see him two or three times.

01:42:35.820 Got a girlfriend.

01:42:36.660 He's paying for the apartment.

01:42:38.740 Uh, his car broke down, got into an accident.

01:42:40.940 I helped him cause he's doing the right thing for six, seven months, you know, going to

01:42:44.500 work every day, work now working as an apprentice, uh, his car broke down and so forth.

01:42:49.920 Well, I helped him buy a bicycle.

01:42:51.200 He was riding his bike 11 miles one way every day, including in the rain.

01:42:55.380 Um, I Ubered him a couple of times cause he's doing his stuff now, but he rode a bike for

01:42:59.860 two months and now he's, you know, the family down there helped him get a truck.

01:43:04.080 So he's got a truck to use, but you know, and he, he was giving all the wrong signs.

01:43:09.140 The mom and I have divorced household.

01:43:11.020 Unfortunately, I don't know if it would make a difference either way, but, um, you know,

01:43:15.260 I kept saying, you know, God, he's got to have work ethic.

01:43:18.600 He's not displaying it now.

01:43:19.960 You know, he's our kid.

01:43:20.960 He's got to have it.

01:43:21.820 And doggone if he doesn't, I don't want my son to be, I want my son to be happy.

01:43:26.580 And some people are happy being sucker fish.

01:43:28.260 It's theirs, their journey, but you know, get them to get started on their journey or

01:43:31.940 shame on you.

01:43:33.360 Appreciate it.

01:43:33.920 Thanks.

01:43:34.240 Yep.

01:43:35.320 Uh, and that's a tough one.

01:43:36.800 11 miles to work on a bike in Miami where it's hot and humid.

01:43:41.300 Yeah.

01:43:41.940 That's where I draw the line.

01:43:43.120 Nope.

01:43:43.460 Sorry.

01:43:43.740 I'm not doing that.

01:43:47.860 Motivated to do a lot of things and go the extra mile.

01:43:51.160 But not bike to work in the humidity of Miami.

01:43:54.100 Public transportation just takes you longer.

01:43:56.340 That's why I walked when I, when I went to Florida, because the public transportation,

01:43:59.620 it took longer to take the public transportation that it did for me to walk.

01:44:03.240 How far was it?

01:44:04.120 A couple of miles.

01:44:06.220 You actually walked a couple of miles?

01:44:09.140 I mean, I don't necessarily appreciate the tone when you asked me that question.

01:44:13.420 888-727-BECK.

01:44:15.760 More of the Glenn Beck program coming up.

01:44:18.660 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:44:21.160 Glenn Beck.

01:44:34.200 Uh, this story is amazing.

01:44:36.260 It just keeps...

01:44:37.380 It gets better.

01:44:38.020 It gets better.

01:44:38.600 It does get better.

01:44:39.800 It has gotten better.

01:44:41.320 I found a story in the Washington Post that mentioned some of his quotes.

01:44:44.360 Uh, the 30-year-old kid, the 30-year-old man who, uh, his parents took him to court to evict him from their house.

01:44:52.780 And he won't leave.

01:44:54.160 He's 30!

01:44:55.680 And now, according to the story, Michael is a self-described businessman.

01:45:02.720 Really?

01:45:04.020 He's, he's a businessman living in, in his parents' basement?

01:45:07.280 Just because you're a businessman doesn't make you a good businessman.

01:45:09.980 That is true.

01:45:11.180 He also has a son of his own who he lost custody of.

01:45:15.280 Why?

01:45:15.560 Probably because he lives in his parents' house.

01:45:18.980 It's possible.

01:45:20.540 But he said, he said, uh, his, his parents, they stopped feeding me.

01:45:28.580 And they even cut me off of the family phone plan.

01:45:33.960 Oh, no.

01:45:35.540 Oh.

01:45:36.280 Oh, no.

01:45:37.860 No, I didn't realize there was that kind of abuse.

01:45:40.760 So, your mommy stopped making dinner for you at 30 years old?

01:45:44.920 And they decided that you had to pay for your own food?

01:45:48.180 And your own phone plan at 30?

01:45:50.960 Oh, no.

01:45:52.080 Wow.

01:45:52.740 And he said that this entire situation is really unfair.

01:45:58.080 Yeah.

01:45:58.580 So, there you go.

01:45:59.560 It's really unfair.

01:46:00.580 And he needed, he also wanted to, uh, he needed, uh, more time to be prepared to move out.

01:46:07.540 Uh, he didn't have a reason.

01:46:08.440 Well, you gotta get your head around it first.

01:46:09.640 He didn't have a reasonable amount of time to vacate.

01:46:12.080 So.

01:46:13.980 It's an amazing story.

01:46:15.440 It definitely is.

01:46:16.460 It's an absolutely stunning, amazing story.

01:46:18.020 I bet you he still has the Netflix password, though.

01:46:20.580 I bet you they're still paying for Netflix.

01:46:22.640 I'll bet they are.

01:46:23.600 Yeah.

01:46:24.220 And, and probably his car insurance, too.

01:46:26.500 Yep.

01:46:26.820 So, 888-727-BECK.

01:46:29.200 Use that number tomorrow.
