The Glenn Beck Program - Happy New Year America ｜ Guest Hosts： Pat & Stu

00:00:00.000 The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:16.260 With Pat and Stu today for Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:00:24.500 This is kind of exciting because the 2020 presidential election has already kind of kicked off.

00:00:36.380 Yeah, we just skipped 2019. We had New Year's Eve and then it was 2020.

00:00:40.440 Pretty much.

00:00:40.920 That's pretty much how it went.

00:00:42.060 As far as the presidential campaign, that's for sure.

00:00:44.520 With the Democrats, I mean, some people have said 30 people are going to be announcing for president.

00:00:54.960 And it's already begun. Well, not officially, but Elizabeth Warren has already announced that she's starting an exploratory committee, which means she's running for president.

00:01:04.500 Yeah, that's a fair. Because it's just something they never explore it and are like, you know what? No, I don't think the people want me.

00:01:11.620 Nobody wants me, so I'm not going to do it. I've never heard. I don't think I've ever heard that.

00:01:15.640 I have to say, I explored it and the people are not fans. That's what I've determined.

00:01:20.900 I just found out it'd be a waste of time for me to run for president and money, of course, so I'm not going to do it.

00:01:27.420 I realize I don't really like the country all that much as I was exploring this, so we're all set.

00:01:32.680 No, I don't have to explore any further.

00:01:35.680 So she already announced she's doing the exploratory committee and she put it together.

00:01:42.520 And do we have the actual announcement?

00:01:44.520 Um, hmm. I think we have something in here. Some of the audio. Let's see. We've got Elizabeth Warren.

00:01:53.460 Yeah, well, I don't know if we have the announcement, but here's where she, I think this was shortly after she announced she wanted to show how relatable she is as a human being.

00:02:02.100 She just does the same stuff we do at home. You know, in the kitchen, she's hanging out, drinking a beer, hanging out with her husband.

00:02:08.900 I mean, this is so natural. It just makes you want to vote for her. Um, here is Elizabeth Warren relating to all of us.

00:02:16.700 If you hear gnawing in the background, uh, the reason for that is that Bailey is in the kitchen.

00:02:22.960 Say hello, Bailey. Say hello. Yeah. Yeah.

00:02:26.000 Hold on a sec. I'm going to get me, um, a beer.

00:02:30.140 Hey, my husband, Bruce, is now in here. Um, you want a beer?

00:02:39.880 No, I'll pass on a beer for now.

00:02:41.020 You sure?

00:02:41.480 Yes. Relatable.

00:02:43.240 So, this is my sweetie. Hello.

00:02:45.520 Your sweetie.

00:02:47.020 And I'll praise you.

00:02:48.400 Ah, that's great. That's so...

00:02:49.860 Thank you for being here.

00:02:50.540 I can relate to you. You drink beer and I drink beer.

00:02:52.780 Who have we got here so far? Um, Skylar? Uh, and 14 others?

00:02:57.980 Whoa. Hello.

00:02:58.460 That's 15 home people.

00:03:00.460 Hi.

00:03:01.080 Wow.

00:03:01.640 Fortnite.

00:03:02.460 All right, all right.

00:03:03.120 Good to see you.

00:03:03.940 Who else have we got? Uh, Kenny?

00:03:05.860 So bad.

00:03:06.380 Kenny's there.

00:03:07.040 Kenny is there.

00:03:07.980 Kenny showed.

00:03:08.780 He's always there.

00:03:09.620 Is that Greeny Goddess? Wow.

00:03:11.340 Greeny Goddess came.

00:03:12.920 If Greeny Goddess didn't come, this was not a campaign.

00:03:15.080 Right?

00:03:15.620 Uh, now we don't.

00:03:16.280 So, now she's explored and I think she's done because she's found out that Kevin is there

00:03:21.260 and Greeny Goddess is there and they love her.

00:03:24.620 There we go.

00:03:25.140 And so, she should run.

00:03:26.200 We, uh, we...

00:03:27.200 Oh, man.

00:03:28.440 All right, Glenn Beck, uh, Glenn Beck is back on Monday.

00:03:31.200 Uh, so we have a couple days here with, uh, myself and Pat.

00:03:34.340 Uh, we're gonna take a quick 60-second break and come back on the other side with more on

00:03:39.260 who's running in 2020.

00:03:44.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:03:46.560 Let's talk about something real here.

00:03:48.480 You can put off a lot of things in life.

00:03:50.400 You don't have to join a gym.

00:03:51.920 You can clean your gutters, but usually they will rot off your house.

00:03:54.940 But here's another thing you shouldn't put off and that is getting home security.

00:03:58.000 It's your home.

00:03:58.900 It's your family.

00:03:59.840 It's your stuff.

00:04:00.800 You want to protect it, but there's always something holding you back.

00:04:03.380 And most likely, it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman

00:04:07.680 and being indebted forever.

00:04:08.980 It also could be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour installation window.

00:04:13.100 You don't have time for that.

00:04:14.540 SimpliSafe Home Security has gotten rid of all of those reasons not to get home security.

00:04:19.020 And I'm about to tell you how to save a ton, too.

00:04:44.020 That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

00:04:46.160 Back here, we're talking about Elizabeth Warren.

00:05:00.360 And, Pat, I would love to get your initial gut reaction.

00:05:05.360 Does she have any chance to be the nominee or to be president of the United States?

00:05:10.300 No chance.

00:05:10.920 Of either?

00:05:11.540 No.

00:05:12.220 Now, will you eat your underwear if she becomes...

00:05:14.400 No, I will not.

00:05:15.300 I was hoping to goad you into that today.

00:05:16.940 No.

00:05:17.180 Because you did that last time in 2016.

00:05:19.420 Yeah, and I felt pretty good about it in 2016.

00:05:21.720 I still feel pretty good about it, but pretty good is not enough.

00:05:24.800 Well, she's actually running this time.

00:05:25.960 She's actually going to run, and she could win, but I really think it's a long shot.

00:05:31.220 And the Hill has presented their initial rankings of the field.

00:05:34.800 And at the top of the list, they have Beto O'Rourke.

00:05:41.860 Their number one person, Beto O'Rourke.

00:05:44.360 How fast this stuff changes.

00:05:46.160 It's unbelievable.

00:05:46.760 The guy lost his race.

00:05:48.960 Yeah, right.

00:05:49.200 The only thing he's known for is losing.

00:05:51.300 Yes.

00:05:51.740 And yet he is going to be their top dog.

00:05:54.480 They just...

00:05:55.260 They're in love with him.

00:05:56.600 They're absolutely in love with him.

00:05:58.540 They said that there's an old cliche that Republicans fall in line and Democrats fall in love.

00:06:03.820 And that's clearly what's happened with Beto O'Rourke.

00:06:06.120 They fell in love with Obama, and they fell in love with Beto O'Rourke.

00:06:09.980 And I don't know if there's going to be any stopping him now for the nomination in 2020.

00:06:14.260 That's insane.

00:06:15.000 I mean, look, we all have those romances throughout our lives, Pat.

00:06:18.380 There are times we fall in love and we fall out of love.

00:06:20.700 There was a time in which the Democrats were in love with Elizabeth Warren.

00:06:24.080 That time is not now.

00:06:25.340 They did fall out of love with her, I think.

00:06:26.980 Yes.

00:06:27.240 I don't know.

00:06:27.740 So, I mean, it kind of feels to me like it was the whole Native American DNA test.

00:06:34.520 It does feel like it.

00:06:35.280 But that only pushed it over the edge.

00:06:36.960 Yeah.

00:06:37.360 I think they were falling out of love before that.

00:06:39.480 Yeah.

00:06:39.900 And that kind of finished it off.

00:06:41.320 Some people are like, oh, well, this is what it is.

00:06:43.640 They are just not comfortable with a woman at the top of the ticket.

00:06:46.660 That's like, that's just ridiculous.

00:06:48.500 Stupid.

00:06:49.220 Hillary Clinton was seemingly a woman.

00:06:51.320 Right.

00:06:51.600 Right.

00:06:51.980 I know.

00:06:52.300 And now they're saying because it was Hillary Clinton and she lost, we can't nominate another woman.

00:06:57.740 We can't, we can't, you know, another older woman is not, it's not the way to go.

00:07:01.780 Which, I mean, you know, look, you can argue that.

00:07:03.380 I think there is a, there's something similar about the way Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton handle things that seems equally incompetent.

00:07:16.380 Yes.

00:07:17.640 Yes.

00:07:18.100 And that is not what you need to bring to the table against Donald Trump.

00:07:21.200 Not at all.

00:07:21.660 That's the one thing you need to be able to do.

00:07:23.560 And the DNA thing, she handled so poorly.

00:07:26.160 It was just, I think even to Democrats, they were like, okay, come on.

00:07:30.480 Yeah.

00:07:30.600 Unfortunately, it was, it was like one, 1024th native American, please stop it.

00:07:36.540 It's so bad.

00:07:37.360 Like you remember when they used to have those free HBO preview weekends.

00:07:40.700 I remember because I never had HBO growing up.

00:07:42.660 And then like one weekend a year, HBO would be on and you get to see HBO for free.

00:07:47.020 Yeah.

00:07:47.340 That's like what happened with the DNA test.

00:07:49.520 It was like a free preview to her candidacy.

00:07:51.540 And that does not look good.

00:07:52.800 Not at all.

00:07:53.260 In that moment when Donald Trump makes some accusation against her or some big news story breaks, someone finds something from her past.

00:08:00.580 How is she going to react to it?

00:08:02.020 And they got the free preview.

00:08:03.100 What she's going to do is like call 23andme.com and get them to do a DNA test.

00:08:09.580 Like it was so incompetent and so horribly handled that.

00:08:14.320 And when she found out she was one, 1024th.

00:08:16.900 She should have just squelched it and not, not brought it up.

00:08:20.280 It should have just been kept private.

00:08:21.900 Yeah.

00:08:22.320 Okay.

00:08:22.760 It turned out I'm not that I'm not African.

00:08:25.460 I'm not native American.

00:08:26.900 So, and if she would have said that, it probably would have been okay.

00:08:30.280 There's probably was a way of handling it.

00:08:32.460 Yeah.

00:08:32.960 And it certainly wasn't the way she did.

00:08:34.880 No.

00:08:35.100 Even if you're going to have a test and it comes out that you're 80% native American, it shouldn't be you releasing that information.

00:08:41.060 Right.

00:08:41.180 You want to leak it to the New York times and have them write up some big thing.

00:08:44.220 You could do that.

00:08:45.040 I got news for you.

00:08:46.220 The New York times would have been game for that one.

00:08:48.000 And it didn't, they would have taken it.

00:08:48.980 It didn't help that the Cherokee people came out against her.

00:08:51.460 No.

00:08:52.240 It did not.

00:08:53.660 It didn't help.

00:08:54.540 It didn't help at all.

00:08:55.500 No.

00:08:55.580 And it's, it's, and, and Beto on the other hand, never had that.

00:08:59.400 I mean, again, he had his controversies.

00:09:01.100 The guy, first of all, it's not even his name.

00:09:03.180 Right.

00:09:03.400 Second of all, he's on, he had a DUI.

00:09:07.240 I mean, this guy had some stuff in his past, but he, he was able to weather it.

00:09:10.840 And in fact, the Cruz people afterwards said they were, he, they couldn't, you know, they couldn't put him away.

00:09:17.340 It took everything they had just to, just to win that election.

00:09:21.700 And they squinted it out in Texas.

00:09:22.960 I mean, he won by what, two and a half, 2.9, almost three points, I think.

00:09:29.320 But he should have won by 20.

00:09:31.520 Yeah.

00:09:31.940 And so the reason why you look at Beto, even though he lost as a big candidate, and this is the way the Democrats are doing this, is because he outperformed what he was supposed to do.

00:09:39.680 Right.

00:09:39.840 Like the, the, and he was actually not the biggest outperformer, which is kind of interesting.

00:09:44.440 They went through this and they said, who outperformed the environment and their state more than any other Democrat?

00:09:52.960 And they went through the list.

00:09:54.860 Here's a few.

00:09:56.140 Gillibrand was plus 3.8%.

00:09:58.600 O'Rourke was plus 7.2%.

00:10:01.320 So they think in a, in a, a normal, a replacement level candidate.

00:10:04.480 She'd have lost by like 9 or 10.

00:10:05.360 She'd have lost by like 9 or 10, right?

00:10:07.060 Yeah.

00:10:07.260 That's a replacement level candidate.

00:10:09.240 There are two that actually beat O'Rourke, which, which are interesting.

00:10:11.900 And both of them are also being talked about as candidates.

00:10:16.060 Klobuchar from Minnesota.

00:10:18.680 No way does she win.

00:10:20.060 I don't know.

00:10:20.760 There's no way she wins.

00:10:21.920 She doesn't have a lot of recognition at this point.

00:10:24.540 She seems to have, she has a sort of moderate-ish vibe from what people tell me that are Democrats.

00:10:32.880 They like, they like, she's not like it.

00:10:34.640 She doesn't come off as a crazy liberal, but she's from a state in the Midwest and maybe

00:10:39.080 there's something there.

00:10:39.980 I don't know.

00:10:40.620 I don't know.

00:10:41.420 But she outperformed Beto?

00:10:43.420 That's interesting.

00:10:44.420 Plus 8%.

00:10:44.920 So O'Rourke was plus 7.2.

00:10:47.260 Wow.

00:10:47.540 But the number one, by a wide margin, actually, a 9.4% overperforming was Sherrod Brown in

00:10:54.660 Ohio.

00:10:56.100 And he's the guy that there's, there's an element of-

00:10:58.580 He's on this list too.

00:10:59.480 Yeah.

00:10:59.680 He's a, yeah.

00:11:00.180 Because he's one of those guys if, he's sort of like, it's Joe, in a way, it's just a way

00:11:06.880 it's Joe Biden, but he's newer, right?

00:11:09.380 And younger.

00:11:10.180 He has that same sort of vibe as far as like, he's middle class and he's, you know, he's

00:11:14.600 no nonsense and he's populist and all that stuff.

00:11:17.400 But he comes from Ohio, obviously a swing state.

00:11:19.580 He did very well there.

00:11:20.600 In a time where it's not particularly blue.

00:11:27.200 Of all candidates in this entire measure, of all the Democrats, Elizabeth Warren.

00:11:33.360 Wow.

00:11:34.360 Elizabeth Warren did not have any value above replacement, basically.

00:11:38.400 Basically finished as any replacement candidate.

00:11:40.340 The only Democrat with a lower score was Menendez, who was in the middle of a corruption trial.

00:11:45.400 Wow.

00:11:45.920 So that is, I mean, that's a big, she just isn't, she's not even loved by Massachusetts.

00:11:51.740 No.

00:11:52.440 So how is she going to be loved by the rest of America as a candidate?

00:11:54.640 I don't think she is.

00:11:55.600 I don't think she is.

00:11:57.100 So you had Beto at number one, according to The Hill.

00:11:59.860 Bernie Sanders, still second.

00:12:02.000 Now, look, this guy would be almost 80 years old by the time he would become president if he

00:12:08.280 won the election.

00:12:09.360 If he got the nomination, I think he's, I think he's 76 now.

00:12:13.460 So he'd be 78 in 2020 if he were to win.

00:12:17.740 Now, when you start out in the presidency, older than the average age of death for an

00:12:25.680 American male, it's not a good sign.

00:12:28.360 No.

00:12:28.840 That's not a good sign.

00:12:29.620 Really?

00:12:30.040 And maybe, maybe we enter something into the Constitution that maybe if you're past the

00:12:35.580 age, the average age of expiration, you don't get to run.

00:12:39.580 Now, if health care improves, we'll inch it up.

00:12:46.040 Exactly.

00:12:46.640 I think we can do that.

00:12:47.680 But for now, when the average age of death for the American male is 76 and you're 78,

00:12:52.920 no, I'm sorry, you can't run the president.

00:12:54.760 888-727-BEC is the number.

00:12:56.580 We've kind of arranged the way that, if you missed a couple of shows at the end of the

00:12:59.400 year, we've arranged the way the commercial breaks work so we can take less of them.

00:13:02.700 So we just have a one-minute break here, and we're back in just a second with the rest

00:13:06.080 of today's list of the 2020 candidates as we go into election season.

00:14:34.440 So where are we in the list?

00:14:35.700 We have...

00:14:36.140 So we...

00:14:36.860 Okay.

00:14:37.240 These are the top 10 Democrats.

00:14:39.300 They didn't go into all 50 or 100 or however many are going to wind up running.

00:14:43.600 They just listed the top 10 here.

00:14:46.020 And the first, at number one, the candidate with the best chance at winning the Democratic nomination, they think, in the Hill, is Beto O'Rourke.

00:14:57.260 Robert Francis O'Rourke.

00:14:58.220 Bob Frank O'Rourke.

00:14:59.280 Right.

00:14:59.980 Number two would be Bernie Sanders, who's really not even a Democrat.

00:15:04.360 He's a socialist.

00:15:05.380 I guess they're synonymous now.

00:15:07.380 They're pretty much the same thing.

00:15:08.860 Because the Socialist Party has taken over the Democrat Party.

00:15:12.880 So they don't even care anymore.

00:15:14.300 The Socialists are taking over the party.

00:15:16.920 No longer a racist slur to call a Democrat a Socialist.

00:15:19.860 It's almost a compliment now.

00:15:20.980 Yeah, now it's a compliment.

00:15:21.540 They love it now.

00:15:22.240 You just got to keep up with this stuff.

00:15:24.200 Former Vice President Joe Biden, number three.

00:15:26.360 Now, I think Biden's got a better chance than Sanders.

00:15:29.220 Biden has to be number one on this list.

00:15:31.020 The guy's leading the polls by 20 points.

00:15:33.000 Yeah.

00:15:33.160 20 points.

00:15:34.540 Again, let's go back to just a few years ago.

00:15:37.700 This is the same situation that happened with Donald Trump.

00:15:40.520 Everyone's like, ah, that guy doesn't really have a chance.

00:15:42.240 And he's leading by 20 points.

00:15:43.260 And he just kept leading by 20 points.

00:15:44.740 So weird, yeah.

00:15:45.260 And I can't remember thinking, someone's going to come up here and challenge him.

00:15:47.700 Aren't they?

00:15:47.920 No.

00:15:48.380 No.

00:15:48.600 He's just going to win.

00:15:49.560 He's going to win.

00:15:50.200 And I think there's a chance that this happens with Biden.

00:15:53.800 And it's kind of interesting because the Hill points out, Biden leads almost all opinion

00:15:58.800 polls at this stage.

00:15:59.740 And how you rate his chances depends largely on how much you think that matters.

00:16:04.860 Well, I think it matters quite a bit.

00:16:06.240 As you just pointed out with Trump, it mattered a lot.

00:16:08.900 Yeah.

00:16:09.100 I mean, we kept saying, all right, he's going to fade eventually.

00:16:12.960 Nope.

00:16:13.540 No.

00:16:14.100 He didn't.

00:16:14.660 He didn't.

00:16:15.120 And I think part of this is, I mean, name recognition.

00:16:17.660 There's nobody on the, Beto O'Rourke has not, not even close.

00:16:20.420 This penetrates talk radio.

00:16:22.000 He was third, in fact.

00:16:22.900 Yeah.

00:16:23.280 He was third.

00:16:23.800 But I mean, when you talk about name recognition for the average person who isn't listening to talk

00:16:28.040 radio, who isn't obsessed with CNN on the left or MSNBC, Beto O'Rourke is a blip on

00:16:33.040 their radar if they've heard his name at all.

00:16:35.320 That's very true.

00:16:35.780 Joe Biden was vice president of the United States for eight years that they remember fondly.

00:16:41.240 Yeah.

00:16:41.680 You know, that is a, you have to, you have to factor that in.

00:16:44.780 It's a big deal.

00:16:45.680 Now, I don't even, I'm not a hundred percent sure he's going to run, though it does seem

00:16:49.400 that way.

00:16:49.980 Seems likely.

00:16:50.640 Seems likely.

00:16:51.260 But you see these little cliques forming.

00:16:55.180 Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are going to have a tough time coexisting.

00:17:00.180 They're going to have a tough time because they're going to battle it out for the same

00:17:02.520 voters.

00:17:03.200 I think the same thing happened with like, you know, Joe Biden and, you know, if you

00:17:06.100 want to go share it, Brown or one of these other more moderate candidates.

00:17:09.500 That's the place he's going to take.

00:17:10.660 I'm the common sense Democrat.

00:17:12.320 That's what he's going to try.

00:17:13.680 It's going to be tough to win a primary with that.

00:17:15.400 And I think that is, well, Beto O'Rourke will say, I'm, he'll just go for it.

00:17:18.320 Right.

00:17:18.980 Elizabeth Warren will just go for it.

00:17:20.340 I think so.

00:17:21.140 Yeah.

00:17:21.280 They'll both be the socialist candidates.

00:17:23.520 And so will Sanders.

00:17:25.420 And then, and then in comparison, Biden will look really moderate compared to them.

00:17:30.240 And that might help him a lot.

00:17:31.160 It's also scary for the general, because if, if, if Biden is able to somehow win that

00:17:35.880 primary coming off as relatively sensible, and again, that's not easy for Joe.

00:17:40.680 No.

00:17:41.060 But if he's able to pull that one off, it's going to fool, again, a lot of people who

00:17:44.560 aren't focused on his actual positions are going to think, well, he's more, you know, he's

00:17:49.280 more moderate.

00:17:49.860 He's the one in the middle and I can deal with that.

00:17:52.480 And as we mentioned, he had 30% support in the CNN poll last month.

00:17:57.460 And number two was Sanders at 14.

00:18:00.380 So more than, he more than doubled the second place guy.

00:18:03.400 Beto was back in third at 11%.

00:18:06.660 And then 9% in another poll, but Biden far and away leading the opinion polls.

00:18:13.880 At number four, they have Kamala Harris.

00:18:16.260 Now, I, I don't know that she has that much of a shot either.

00:18:21.000 Um, I'm a little more bullish on Kamala Harris than let's say an Elizabeth Warren.

00:18:27.380 Yeah.

00:18:27.860 Probably a better chance than Warren, but not as good as Biden or maybe even Beto.

00:18:32.340 I think you're right.

00:18:33.180 I mean, there's, there's obviously a place for the Democrats who there's some argument

00:18:37.720 among Democrats to take someone who's different.

00:18:40.400 Right.

00:18:40.800 Yeah.

00:18:41.280 Like they, you know, Biden and Beto are, are, I mean, and I know this is shocking because

00:18:46.040 his name is Beto, but these are just boring white dudes.

00:18:48.960 Okay.

00:18:49.800 Wait a minute.

00:18:50.640 Yeah.

00:18:51.020 You're talking about Beto O'Rourke, right?

00:18:53.640 Yes.

00:18:54.000 The Hispanic guy.

00:18:55.140 Bob Frank O'Rourke.

00:18:56.460 Yes.

00:18:56.720 And, you know, this is the, this is the exact thing that they say the Republicans do, right?

00:19:01.620 Which is take the, you know, the, some white guy, you know, and throw them out there and

00:19:07.160 that's okay.

00:19:08.080 Well, Kamala Harris, I think is going to come at this from the opposite perspective and

00:19:12.520 say women and say, you know, all sorts of I'm different in X, Y, and Z ways and make

00:19:17.320 sure she'll have an identity politics argument and she's not as incompetent as an Elizabeth

00:19:21.820 Warren or, or stilted or, you know, again, like people keep saying.

00:19:26.160 She's photogenic.

00:19:27.120 Yeah.

00:19:27.340 She's, yeah.

00:19:28.140 Yeah.

00:19:28.420 She's a prosecutor.

00:19:29.840 So she's like relatively, she's not Cory Booker.

00:19:32.660 If you saw her and Cory Booker, they both did things that were wrong during the Kavanaugh

00:19:36.740 stuff, but Cory Booker looked like an idiot doing it.

00:19:39.260 He looked like a buffoon.

00:19:40.040 Right?

00:19:40.380 He really did.

00:19:40.860 Well, she, while her points were just as bad as his points, she came off as much more

00:19:45.600 credible.

00:19:46.480 And so she, I think she's more dangerous to not only win the nomination, but also win

00:19:50.900 the election than someone like Elizabeth Warren or, you know, another example of this

00:19:55.760 and she can't run obviously this time is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:19:59.520 You know, Republicans, if they have a choice between Kamala Harris and Ocasio-Cortez to find

00:20:04.300 the Democratic Party, they salivate over Ocasio-Cortez because she doesn't know what she's talking

00:20:08.620 about.

00:20:08.880 She's an out, she, she'll say she's a socialist.

00:20:11.820 You know, like those things are things Republicans desire in an opposition, right?

00:20:17.100 Where Kamala Harris is, she'll have the same policies as Ocasio-Cortez, but she's not going

00:20:22.280 to describe them the same way or, and she might also know how the government functions,

00:20:25.960 which is another positive in her favor.

00:20:27.840 That's very true.

00:20:29.140 So we get all the way down to number five before we get to Elizabeth Warren on this particular

00:20:33.360 list.

00:20:34.040 Fifth, according to the Hill.

00:20:35.720 And then you mentioned Sherrod Brown, the Senator from Ohio.

00:20:40.060 And as you said, he won his Senate reelection by, was it nine points over, over, they had

00:20:48.220 the replacement measure we were talking about, like, you know, wins above replacement in baseball.

00:20:52.220 Yes.

00:20:52.520 Like, so it's, it's a measurement like that.

00:20:54.380 He had the best performance among all Democrats.

00:20:57.600 Yeah.

00:20:57.800 And he, he won his Senate reelection race in a state Trump carried by eight points over

00:21:04.160 Clinton.

00:21:04.860 So he won it easily.

00:21:05.860 Pretty big.

00:21:06.380 Yeah.

00:21:06.680 Yeah.

00:21:06.920 It was not, it was not a, it was not a one that was a close call.

00:21:10.060 As we went towards the end of it.

00:21:11.340 Not at all.

00:21:12.200 So that was, it's pretty impressive.

00:21:13.380 And I don't know.

00:21:14.280 I mean, people in Ohio might know him better to say whether this guy could pull off a national

00:21:18.400 spotlight.

00:21:18.840 It'll be interesting.

00:21:19.960 Triple eight, seven 27.

00:21:20.900 Beck is the phone number.

00:21:22.500 We're back in just a couple of minutes.

00:21:23.760 Glenn Beck is back on Monday.

00:21:25.840 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:21:33.600 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn.

00:21:35.400 Glenn returns on Monday.

00:21:37.000 Uh, triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K.

00:21:40.780 Uh, we were going over the, uh, top candidates according to the Hill, uh, for the Democrat

00:21:46.260 party.

00:21:47.020 And I think we got down to number five or six with, yeah, number six, Sherrod Brown.

00:21:52.380 Want to run through the top five here real quick?

00:21:53.640 Yeah.

00:21:54.060 In case people missed.

00:21:54.960 Um, top five include, uh, Beto O'Rourke at number one, uh, Bernie Sanders followed by Joe

00:22:02.420 Biden.

00:22:03.040 Then you got Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren in the top five.

00:22:06.980 Then you got Sherrod Brown at number six, Cory Booker at number seven.

00:22:11.280 I don't think he has any chance.

00:22:12.960 No, he's, he's like Warren in his level of competence.

00:22:15.720 Very much.

00:22:16.180 So he's not a good candidate.

00:22:17.420 Amy Klobuchar that nobody knows Democrat from Minnesota.

00:22:20.060 I've heard good things about her though.

00:22:21.600 Uh, so I think she's one of those people who maybe doesn't have the name recognition,

00:22:26.260 but has it.

00:22:26.900 She, she, I think they'll start talking about her in VP circles when we get closer, especially

00:22:30.860 if it's someone like Beto.

00:22:31.880 If they go with a white dude, they will not pick another white dude.

00:22:35.100 You can, I can promise you that whoever is VP will be some, they will, it will check

00:22:39.700 some box from some identity group.

00:22:43.060 If they pick a white dude for the top of the ticket, they will definitely check a box in

00:22:47.180 the other, the other side of it.

00:22:48.460 Oh, definitely.

00:22:48.940 Uh, then you get to former, uh, mayor Michael Bloomberg, who again has no chance.

00:22:54.100 Bloomberg has no chance, but it's hard to count out a guy completely when he has, you

00:22:57.000 know, billions and billions of dollars.

00:22:58.660 And he said he would spend up to a hundred million dollars of his own money, which is

00:23:02.140 nothing.

00:23:02.480 I mean, if he's spending a hundred million dollars, he has no chance.

00:23:04.320 Yeah.

00:23:04.520 He's got to spend, if he, if he, if he actually wanted this to happen, he should mentally commit

00:23:08.800 to $2 billion of his own money and never raise a dime, like make it a big issue.

00:23:14.720 Just like Trump did.

00:23:15.560 I'm not doing any fundraisers.

00:23:17.160 I'm not doing any of that stuff.

00:23:18.940 Here's what I believe.

00:23:19.920 And, and you at least have his bank account dry.

00:23:22.560 Go ahead.

00:23:23.220 What would he be stuck with?

00:23:24.140 20 billion dollars?

00:23:25.560 I mean, like if you actually want to win the presidency of the United States, you should

00:23:28.920 take all of that off the table for all of your constituents too.

00:23:32.460 You know, why are you demanding money from your voters if you have all that?

00:23:36.400 No, it's pathetic.

00:23:37.120 Yeah.

00:23:37.240 You shouldn't be.

00:23:38.260 Uh, and Kirsten Gillibrand, the Democrat Senator from New York, uh, rounded out the top 10.

00:23:43.260 I don't see the argument for her.

00:23:44.480 I don't get it at all.

00:23:45.660 Yeah.

00:23:45.840 There's no, she has no shot.

00:23:46.960 If you're going to go with Kirsten Gillibrand, you should go with Klobuchar or Harris.

00:23:50.740 Yeah.

00:23:51.000 Right.

00:23:51.180 I mean, they're better examples of what she does.

00:23:53.320 The only thing she's really known for is kind of being the head of the Me Too thing in

00:23:57.000 the, in the Senate.

00:23:57.620 Yeah.

00:23:58.100 She's kind of on that bandwagon.

00:24:00.120 But again, I don't know how that exactly wins you an election.

00:24:02.940 Yeah.

00:24:03.060 I don't know that that'll translate to votes.

00:24:04.820 Um, but then you, you talk about people who have no shot.

00:24:08.880 The other potential candidates outside the top 10, according to the Hill, uh, former New

00:24:13.680 Orleans mayor, Mitch Landrieu, why, why would you waste your time?

00:24:17.040 Seriously?

00:24:17.600 Why?

00:24:18.600 Uh, former Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe, who probably has a better shot than some of

00:24:23.420 these people, but he at least has the Clinton network built in.

00:24:26.520 Right.

00:24:26.920 And there's something to be said for that.

00:24:28.340 I just don't think democratic voters want anything to do with Hillary Clinton at this

00:24:31.780 point.

00:24:31.980 Billionaire Tom Steyer, who is just a psycho, just a psychotic idiot.

00:24:37.900 He has spent a lot of money on places like MSNBC to get his face in front of them.

00:24:42.020 He has some name recognition.

00:24:43.420 He also, same thing with Bloomberg, has billions of dollars.

00:24:46.340 Uh, he's a very, very wealthy man.

00:24:48.020 And also he's one of these guys that's made climate like number issue number one and only

00:24:52.340 number one.

00:24:53.000 Yeah.

00:24:53.340 Uh, which is, is an interesting approach.

00:24:54.960 And I don't, I don't know how that works because nobody cares about it.

00:24:57.860 I mean, let's face it.

00:24:58.840 When you look at poll after poll after poll, it's dead last.

00:25:03.740 If it's on the list at all of priorities.

00:25:05.800 Yeah, it is almost always dead last.

00:25:08.160 If it's on at all, it's like 2% of the people consider it a big problem.

00:25:12.180 Now, if you did that same poll among activists, democratic, um, uh, voters, it'd be a thousand

00:25:16.660 percent.

00:25:17.540 It's going to be a lot higher, right?

00:25:19.000 And so that's the play here.

00:25:21.040 Yeah.

00:25:21.160 Um, a guy who I don't think is on this list at all, which says something about his candidacy.

00:25:25.400 He announced actually, uh, Jay Inslee.

00:25:28.320 Who?

00:25:29.380 I'm sorry?

00:25:30.020 Jay Inslee.

00:25:30.920 Jay Inslee.

00:25:32.120 Mm-hmm.

00:25:32.320 Who is the, he is the, of course, the current, um, uh, governor of Washington, Washington state.

00:25:44.840 Yeah, there's no governor of Washington, D.C., so yes, it is Washington, Washington state.

00:25:49.000 Yeah, I just wanted to make sure that people knew that.

00:25:51.460 Uh, okay.

00:25:52.200 Oh, because you seem so sure about it.

00:25:56.260 Starting with your who's that and just leading into the way you just, just, well, I wanted

00:26:00.640 to make sure that, you know, that, uh, people knew that I knew who it was.

00:26:05.000 And so I was just kind of rhetorically asking who's that for people listening.

00:26:09.440 His resume rolled off your tongue like it was like a poem you had memorized in childhood.

00:26:14.160 Yes.

00:26:14.460 You know?

00:26:14.820 Yeah, very much so.

00:26:15.720 Yeah, so he's going to make, he's another guy.

00:26:17.720 He's even admitting, I basically have no other issues other than climate change.

00:26:21.640 Now.

00:26:21.940 Wow.

00:26:22.300 There's a, there's a, there's a, a certain, uh, species of candidate that Jay Inslee is

00:26:28.980 attempting to be.

00:26:29.880 And the person who I would put it most, most, uh, recent history is, uh, Lindsey Graham's

00:26:34.880 candidacy in 2016.

00:26:36.320 There was never a moment in which Lindsey Graham thought he was going to be president

00:26:39.940 in 2016.

00:26:40.840 No, no.

00:26:41.160 But he wanted to talk about his military issues on debate stages.

00:26:45.040 And there wasn't really another candidate that took his sort of McCain-esque position

00:26:49.840 on those issues.

00:26:50.820 Right.

00:26:51.160 So he was like, I'm just going to go up there and I'll make jokes and I'll get beat up by

00:26:56.360 Trump every day, but I'm going to get my points out there.

00:26:58.960 And I think that's kind of what Inslee's going to do here.

00:27:01.040 Like he's going to come out and be the guy who, you know, like, um, Elizabeth Warren will

00:27:05.420 come out and say, I want to spend $9 trillion on climate change.

00:27:08.360 And he'll be like, that's embarrassing.

00:27:09.680 It's 50 trillion.

00:27:10.800 Like that's the person he's going to be.

00:27:12.780 And that's it.

00:27:13.560 That's a fun, that's going to make it good for us.

00:27:15.380 Cause then Elizabeth Warren will say, okay, 30 trillion, you know, like it's going to,

00:27:20.100 it helped in, uh, Bernie Sanders did this to Hillary.

00:27:22.940 Yeah.

00:27:23.360 You know, Sanders is like, ah, you know, $15 minimum wage, $17 minimum wage, $20 minimum

00:27:27.580 wage.

00:27:27.840 And she's like, I don't know, 13, 15.

00:27:29.240 And they're like, what a conservative you, you're basically the Koch brothers over there.

00:27:33.100 Like I, and that's good for us.

00:27:35.620 I think it is.

00:27:36.080 Yeah.

00:27:36.480 Yeah.

00:27:36.680 Cause it'll make people who should be more moderate go further left.

00:27:40.680 Yes.

00:27:41.620 Um, so, uh, as far as, uh, the Hills list of other candidates also rands Joe Kennedy, the

00:27:47.980 third, no shot, uh, former mayor, Julian Castro.

00:27:52.000 He's basically said he's running, but again, I, I don't think there's a, he was at one time

00:27:56.520 supposed to be the new Obama, right?

00:27:58.400 But he hasn't act.

00:27:59.140 I mean, he, he wound up going to H to HUD, right?

00:28:01.480 That's where he was in housing and urban development.

00:28:03.160 Yes, he was for a while.

00:28:04.380 Is that a job you elevate to the presidency?

00:28:06.660 Not usually.

00:28:07.600 I think this is again, only that it's never happened in the history of the nation, but

00:28:12.060 that doesn't mean it couldn't, it couldn't.

00:28:13.720 Right.

00:28:14.320 Uh, you know, again, the Beto thing is pretty rare.

00:28:16.820 It's only happened a couple of times when you go from con from congressman to president.

00:28:20.540 It's not, not common.

00:28:21.920 Um, but with especially lately.

00:28:23.280 Yeah.

00:28:23.760 It's been a long time since it's a long time.

00:28:25.720 Castro is seemingly.

00:28:27.480 I mean, it certainly comes off as if he's playing for a VP possibility and that is something

00:28:32.460 like, especially like, let's say, and that's a possibility for Warren Wright were to win

00:28:36.040 or a Klobuchar were to win there.

00:28:38.700 Again, they will check a box with the other candidate.

00:28:41.320 They are very much in that world.

00:28:42.540 Let's see.

00:28:42.760 I need a Hispanic, uh, Julian Castro.

00:28:45.940 Exactly.

00:28:46.340 Yeah.

00:28:46.500 That's how it could work for him.

00:28:48.120 Also, uh, somebody called, uh, Pete Buttigieg.

00:28:51.720 Ah, Pete.

00:28:52.460 Yeah.

00:28:52.960 Uh, the mayor of South Bend.

00:28:55.980 A mayor of South Bend in Indiana, right?

00:28:57.900 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:28:58.400 You knew that.

00:28:59.120 You knew that.

00:28:59.540 That's what I was saying.

00:29:00.400 I've been telling you about him for a while.

00:29:01.300 That's where Notre Dame is located.

00:29:02.580 That's how you know, uh, Pete Buttigieg because he, he, uh, is the mayor of, of the town in

00:29:09.280 which Notre Dame resides.

00:29:11.160 Right.

00:29:11.520 Uh, he's actually his, again, in the Democratic primary, checking the boxes for whatever identity

00:29:18.020 group you're in is always important.

00:29:19.460 Mm-hmm.

00:29:20.020 So here, uh, Pete is being talked about because, and now he's a veteran, uh, uh, from, I believe

00:29:25.320 it was Afghanistan.

00:29:26.340 Okay.

00:29:26.620 Uh, but also openly gay.

00:29:28.140 So you have to have at least one, you have to have everybody, every group has to be represented

00:29:32.680 in some way.

00:29:33.380 And a veteran, openly gay veteran is awesome for them.

00:29:37.500 That's, that's great.

00:29:38.740 Kind of checks two boxes.

00:29:39.760 Yeah, it does.

00:29:40.240 Uh, so that's why, and, and he's, he's 30, let's see, 36 years old.

00:29:44.760 Oh, wow.

00:29:45.200 Um, and so, you know, in the millennial sort of, uh, upper ends of the millennial world.

00:29:50.640 And, uh, you know, so there's, there's a possibility here.

00:29:53.340 He gets some buzz.

00:29:54.300 Again, you can't imagine you go from mayor of South Bend, Indiana, no offense to the

00:29:58.360 president of the United States.

00:30:00.200 Hard to believe.

00:30:00.660 I mean, Rudy Giuliani tried to do it from mayor of New York City and it didn't work.

00:30:04.020 And it blew up in his face.

00:30:04.700 Like it's hard to go from mayor to president.

00:30:06.900 Although LA mayor, uh, Eric Garcetti is also being talked about.

00:30:11.140 Uh, Colorado governor, John Hickenlooper, nobody with the name of Hickenlooper, uh, will

00:30:16.080 ever be, I can't even say it.

00:30:17.500 It won't be president.

00:30:18.580 He just won't be president.

00:30:19.400 Just based on his name.

00:30:20.340 No one can say his name.

00:30:21.300 Like he could be the ultimate constitutionalist.

00:30:23.140 I don't think I could vote for it.

00:30:24.180 No, you can't vote.

00:30:24.780 Imagine if you had to write it in.

00:30:26.260 Right.

00:30:26.400 You'd just be writing O's and P's and not know where to stop.

00:30:28.460 Uh, representative Eric Swalwell, uh, from California.

00:30:34.920 Now he's actually already running, but is making no impact.

00:30:38.960 Is he, is he announced?

00:30:40.560 He is basically announced.

00:30:42.180 Uh, wow.

00:30:43.000 If I'm, uh.

00:30:43.420 Exploratory committee or.

00:30:44.680 I think exploratory.

00:30:45.760 Yeah.

00:30:46.120 Um, yeah, he, uh, this is really early for a guy like him.

00:30:49.800 Of course it has to be because his name recognition is just not there.

00:30:52.620 Nobody knows who he is.

00:30:53.500 He kind of did it last year too.

00:30:55.200 He's not even like this week type of thing.

00:30:56.980 He was like, ah, you know, mid 2017 is like, I'm going to Iowa.

00:31:00.680 And then another congressman, uh, who I, I don't, I don't really know.

00:31:05.800 Um, John Delaney.

00:31:07.780 Yeah.

00:31:08.100 He's familiar with him.

00:31:09.000 Yeah.

00:31:09.140 Another, um, he's, I believe he's a wealthy businessman type.

00:31:12.020 Okay.

00:31:12.420 Um, but, uh, he, he has also basically admitted he's running when you're in that category.

00:31:17.900 Cause there's a, there's a certain type of congressman like a Beto O'Rourke or, um, you

00:31:22.440 know, even like this mayor from South bend, there's some sort of buzz among democratic activists

00:31:26.880 to say, he'd be great.

00:31:28.280 Like, what if he's good?

00:31:29.200 Let's, let's talk to him.

00:31:30.780 Like people like Swalwell and Delaney are like the only people saying that are them.

00:31:35.220 Like they're saying, I'd be great.

00:31:36.660 They should talk about me.

00:31:38.020 Right.

00:31:38.140 So they kind of get out in front of it and they go on MSNBC all the time.

00:31:40.620 They say whatever the craziest thing they can come up with is to try to get attention

00:31:44.340 from activists and try to create the buzz.

00:31:46.420 It's like the idea of like a video that goes viral versus a company who says we should

00:31:52.440 make a viral video, right?

00:31:54.100 Like Delaney and Swalwell are trying to make their own viral video when it comes to campaigns.

00:31:57.860 And they're trying too hard.

00:31:58.760 Yeah.

00:31:59.180 Whereas a guy like Pete Buttigieg doesn't have to try too hard cause he's got the LGBTQQIA2

00:32:04.760 plus community behind him.

00:32:07.260 How many Q's was that?

00:32:08.100 Did you say the appropriate?

00:32:08.980 I think I said two.

00:32:09.880 Yeah, LGBTQIA2 plus or Quilt Bag 2, Electric Boogaloo.

00:32:19.660 Yes.

00:32:20.140 Which is the other way of talking about that.

00:32:22.840 All right.

00:32:23.420 Let's take a break here.

00:32:24.780 888-727-BEC is the phone number.

00:32:27.180 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn.

00:32:28.760 Glenn Beck is back on Monday on the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:35.720 Pat Gray and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:44.580 Also, check it out on podcast anytime if you don't get up at six o'clock in the morning.

00:32:48.560 It's available, by the way, as part of your subscription to Blaze TV.

00:32:52.700 Once you go to blazetv.com slash Beck or I guess probably anything slash anything.

00:32:57.780 Any host you want to do.

00:32:58.880 Pat, you probably have.

00:32:59.800 Everybody has a page, right?

00:33:00.980 Anyway, just go there and sign up for it because not only do you get the show and Pat's

00:33:05.020 show, the News and White Matters, which will both be on today as well.

00:33:07.660 Right.

00:33:07.980 But dozens of other shows that formerly were on CRTV, if you were during the holidays and

00:33:13.700 missed the fact that we merged.

00:33:15.720 We've got like 30 shows now.

00:33:17.200 Like all the best conservative commentators are under one umbrella and one membership

00:33:21.660 cost, which is pretty awesome.

00:33:23.440 And Chewing the Fat with Jeffy.

00:33:25.060 Yes.

00:33:25.720 Who survived quite a rough patch last week.

00:33:29.100 Yeah.

00:33:29.360 This is an amazing moment because we have a health update about someone in the company

00:33:33.340 that isn't Glenn.

00:33:34.180 That's amazing.

00:33:35.400 I mean, usually we have 14 to 16 Glenn health, urgent health updates every year for you.

00:33:40.620 This year, it's an urgent emergency room.

00:33:43.120 54 times over the vacation.

00:33:46.660 Not this time.

00:33:47.880 No, this is scary, man.

00:33:48.700 It's really scary and really serious.

00:33:52.040 Last week, Jeffy had a heart attack on Friday morning.

00:33:55.280 I went to the hospital Friday afternoon.

00:33:57.820 I'm just sitting in a chair in his very, very sexy hospital gown.

00:34:02.460 Oh, yeah.

00:34:02.840 It was off the shoulder and well, yeah, very becoming no, no lace, but he didn't need it.

00:34:10.460 He didn't need it.

00:34:12.200 He actually was already sitting up in a chair, not in the bed.

00:34:16.420 You know, I expected to go into the room and find him with wires coming out his nostrils

00:34:20.520 and strapped to his chest.

00:34:21.860 And really, he just had an IV in his arm and he was sitting up already cracking jokes.

00:34:27.400 It was it was amazing to see him that way.

00:34:29.700 I saw him a couple of days after I was out of town when it happened.

00:34:32.580 And when I got back in, I saw him and honestly, like he looked better than normal.

00:34:37.080 He does it.

00:34:39.760 He kind of looks on the verge of death typically.

00:34:42.560 And when I saw him here, he actually looked pretty good.

00:34:44.580 He's moving around.

00:34:45.200 He walks walking around the house like he's he's he's bounced back quite a bit and he's

00:34:49.780 doing much better.

00:34:50.380 But it was a close freaking call.

00:34:52.420 It seriously was.

00:34:53.760 I mean, you don't want to.

00:34:55.220 I mean, I don't want to diminish what happened to him because it was a fairly serious heart attack.

00:34:59.480 It wasn't massive, they said, but it wasn't mild either.

00:35:03.080 It was 100 percent blockage, though, right in one of his arteries and 50 percent in the

00:35:07.860 other.

00:35:08.320 So they had to go in and clean out one, put a stint in the other.

00:35:12.340 And and but now he's doing great.

00:35:15.880 Yeah.

00:35:16.220 And he's doing great.

00:35:17.000 If you know, Jeffy, first of all, it was amazing because he was making jokes in the in

00:35:21.940 the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

00:35:23.920 He was actually joking about the incident.

00:35:25.440 That's how that's how deep it goes with Jeffy.

00:35:27.860 But he and he showed me a picture.

00:35:30.860 Have you seen this picture yet?

00:35:32.260 There's a picture of the EMT.

00:35:34.280 But yeah, the EMTs, they're trying to wheel him in on the stretcher and he lives on a little

00:35:37.900 hill and, you know, they're running around.

00:35:40.320 And so there's like three people pushing the thing towards the the the ambulance and two

00:35:45.700 of them had to go do something.

00:35:46.640 And then one guy realized he was the only one holding Jeffy on this thing on a hill.

00:35:50.940 And we've got to tweet this out.

00:35:52.260 He is taking he looks like he's pushing back like, you know, like the wall of a hole.

00:35:57.860 Like it looks like he looks like it's Star Wars.

00:35:59.720 We're in the trash compactor and they're trying to hold the wall back.

00:36:03.720 This poor guy.

00:36:04.840 Well, you've got you've got one little guy trying to hold on to a 300 pound man ish ish 300 ish.

00:36:14.640 I know.

00:36:15.300 So it's and so, yeah, he's it looks like it's about to run him over the gurney that Jeffy's

00:36:21.340 on.

00:36:22.140 But fortunately, that didn't happen.

00:36:24.560 But it would have been just Jeffy's luck to be to run over the guy and then head down

00:36:29.700 the hill on a gurney by himself after just having a heart attack.

00:36:33.200 Yes, that would be typical Jeffy.

00:36:35.500 So maybe we can get Jeffy on the phone later and talk to him.

00:36:38.140 I'd love to see how we have to do that.

00:36:40.180 It was it was I will say this.

00:36:41.940 It was freaking scary.

00:36:42.900 And there's there's something about like, hey, you're you know, do you know your grant?

00:36:46.040 My dad had died of a heart attack.

00:36:47.920 And, you know, that was horrible enough, you know, like hearing someone you'd work with

00:36:51.700 or like their father just died of a heart attack.

00:36:53.800 That's scary.

00:36:54.540 Like Jeffy's just like us.

00:36:56.080 Like he is like, you know, beyond the fact of how much, you know, it's it really puts

00:37:01.180 things in perspective because he's just like, you know, he's our guy.

00:37:03.720 You know, he's he's been with us for a million years.

00:37:06.420 And that was it was that was a real tough thing to take.

00:37:09.160 Really was.

00:37:09.780 So much better.

00:37:11.640 Yeah.

00:37:13.460 Triple eight.

00:37:14.060 So 27 back is the number back in a second.

00:37:21.600 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:37:25.040 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:37:27.140 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:37:32.300 Seven to seven B.

00:37:33.480 E. C.

00:37:33.880 K.

00:37:34.260 Coming up this hour, we've got some amazing audio from Louis C.

00:37:39.520 K.

00:37:39.960 That the left is going crazy over.

00:37:43.720 We'll share that with you.

00:37:45.720 Of course.

00:37:46.240 This is like one of those things where they you know, now he's he's crossed some lines.

00:37:50.360 He's not allowed to cross.

00:37:51.220 It has nothing to do with his controversy with the sexual harassment.

00:37:53.840 It has to do with him, you know, going after some left wing issues.

00:37:57.500 And now when that happens, of course, he's got to be.

00:37:59.620 Now he's he's completely off off limits now.

00:38:02.520 And now it's now it's he's out of bounds and he should be silenced, should be silenced.

00:38:07.940 We also have some great climate change stuff coming up from Bernie Sanders.

00:38:10.900 Some stuff from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as well.

00:38:14.680 She's genius.

00:38:15.500 She might be a genius.

00:38:16.660 She might be.

00:38:17.300 Yeah.

00:38:17.660 She might be a genius.

00:38:18.700 They both might be.

00:38:19.680 Honestly, we'll get into that and so much more coming back.

00:38:21.780 We're back in 60 seconds here on the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:25.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:38:30.060 Let's talk about something real here.

00:38:32.040 You can put off a lot of things in life.

00:38:33.960 You don't have to join a gym.

00:38:35.460 You can clean your gutters, but usually they will rot off your house.

00:38:38.500 But here's another thing you shouldn't put off, and that is getting home security.

00:38:41.560 It's your home.

00:38:42.460 It's your family.

00:38:43.400 It's your stuff.

00:38:44.340 You want to protect it, but there's always something holding you back.

00:38:46.940 And most likely, it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman

00:38:51.220 and being indebted forever.

00:38:52.520 It also could be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour installation window.

00:39:29.720 And it's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK, the phone number.

00:39:48.540 Louis C.K. is under fire right now because he said some things in a comedic way that the left doesn't really like.

00:39:58.660 Oh, no.

00:39:59.280 Yeah.

00:39:59.580 Oh, no.

00:40:00.200 Yeah.

00:40:01.420 You know, comedy has to be completely politically correct.

00:40:05.340 And safe for everyone.

00:40:06.840 Everyone has to leave feeling good.

00:40:08.380 Yes, thank you.

00:40:09.260 There was that.

00:40:09.820 Thank you.

00:40:10.000 You can't offend anybody.

00:40:11.160 A comedian who had a gig booked at a college towards the end of the year last year.

00:40:15.720 And he got his, you know, his thing he had to sign to perform and get his money.

00:40:20.480 And it was like, you have to make sure that you, you know, can make sure and confirm that everyone will have a good, happy, healthy experience.

00:40:28.680 And they won't be offended.

00:40:29.900 And he's like, I'm a comedian.

00:40:31.200 You've got to be kidding me.

00:40:31.880 Yeah.

00:40:32.100 Oh, yeah.

00:40:32.460 And it was in print.

00:40:34.020 Did he sign it or did he?

00:40:35.220 No, I think he said, no, he wasn't going to sign it.

00:40:37.120 I mean, it wasn't like a big known guy.

00:40:38.920 But, you know, you can't.

00:40:40.260 The whole point of comedy is to push you into an uncomfortable place.

00:40:43.460 It's unbelievable.

00:40:44.440 A lot of times it helps you examine a viewpoint that you have that, you know, it makes you uncomfortable.

00:40:53.180 Right.

00:40:53.620 Like you go to a place that you're not necessarily going to go in a normal circumstance.

00:40:58.420 And that's not the job of comedy.

00:40:59.660 Number one is to make you laugh.

00:41:01.000 And that is gone from every late night show.

00:41:03.400 Now, you know, now it's just trying to get, you know, Trump applause lines.

00:41:08.380 Clapter as Glenn causes.

00:41:09.640 It's no longer laughter.

00:41:10.520 It's clapter.

00:41:11.440 You're just going for that.

00:41:11.980 Oh, yeah.

00:41:13.460 Yes, he said that thing I heard on a blog.

00:41:16.500 Like that's the whole, you know, level of comedy now.

00:41:19.620 And, you know, I guess that's something.

00:41:21.940 Especially for Saturday Night Live.

00:41:23.380 That's what it's become.

00:41:24.460 They don't even try.

00:41:25.060 They're not even trying for actual jokes anymore.

00:41:27.220 They're just making points.

00:41:28.020 We played the thing, I think you were on the show that day, Pat, where we did the thing

00:41:31.640 they did with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

00:41:33.300 And it was just like, it was just praising Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a song for, in a rap for

00:41:38.640 like four minutes.

00:41:39.880 Ridiculous.

00:41:40.240 There weren't any jokes in it other than it was just a rap about Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

00:41:42.920 which generally speaking is a funny concept.

00:41:44.960 It was just saying how great she is for four minutes.

00:41:47.100 Like that's not, what is that?

00:41:49.160 So Louis CK.

00:41:49.620 It's ridiculous.

00:41:50.280 And now Louis CK has always gone to the most uncomfortable place possible.

00:41:56.080 It is his style of comedy.

00:41:58.260 If you've never heard Louis CK do comedy before, this is what he does.

00:42:01.660 And he goes to the darkest place in the recesses of your mind and exploits it and makes it into

00:42:05.760 this big deal and takes it to ridiculous extremes.

00:42:09.420 But it is a thing, you know, like you're going to a place where you wouldn't normally go.

00:42:15.140 I mean, he's been in trouble for this before.

00:42:17.880 And now the left is all fired up because this guy's basically an alt-righter.

00:42:21.480 He's basically alt-right.

00:42:22.400 He might as well be on Donald Trump's campaign team.

00:42:24.160 Listen to this guy.

00:42:25.240 And it's not okay now because, you know, they can now go after him.

00:42:30.980 He was this protected celebrity.

00:42:33.180 He was, you know, the hierarchy of all comedy.

00:42:35.780 He was the guy they praised as the most brilliant comedian there was.

00:42:39.140 And now he had his sexual harassment thing that went on and he's trying to make a comeback.

00:42:44.440 And now it's easy to throw, you know, they're trying to pressure him into being a crazy leftist.

00:42:49.300 If he was coming out and being a crazy leftist right now, they would not be criticizing him

00:42:52.160 for making a comeback.

00:42:53.140 But because he's doing the same stuff he was doing before and some of that stuff hits on

00:42:56.660 the right and some of it hits on the left, he is now, he's getting hammered not only by

00:43:01.820 just liberals, but like his old friends who are comedians.

00:43:04.880 They're all coming out and saying like, you know, his old people who used him for their

00:43:10.520 fame are now coming up and just hammering him in a moment where, let's be honest about

00:43:16.880 it, he doesn't need more hammering.

00:43:18.440 I mean, he's been hammering.

00:43:19.360 He's had a tough year.

00:43:21.280 And he said he's made mistakes and he's admitted to that.

00:43:25.200 But so we have the audio from this.

00:43:26.820 Should we go through this a little bit?

00:43:27.760 Yeah.

00:43:28.100 So the two things you're going to hear.

00:43:29.260 First of all, he's made fun of Parkland kids.

00:43:31.460 Now, he never says any, he never mentions Parkland kids, but you'll hear where he goes with

00:43:34.220 that.

00:43:34.380 And also he crosses lines for the left that you're not allowed to cross anymore.

00:43:40.620 You're not even allowed to even be mildly critical or ask questions or anything about

00:43:44.020 these topics anymore.

00:43:44.980 And especially with these kids who are in the political arena now, they're in the political

00:43:51.160 arena.

00:43:51.780 And I guess they're still sacred cows.

00:43:53.220 You can't say anything about them.

00:43:54.280 It's amazing.

00:43:55.280 It really something.

00:43:56.120 So here it is.

00:43:56.680 This is obviously it's Louis C.K.

00:43:58.720 It's, you know, it's a standup club comedy.

00:44:01.100 So it's a little rough as far as content goes.

00:44:03.540 Obviously, it's all bleeped out.

00:44:04.960 But just in case you're with your little kids, you might not want to listen to this.

00:44:08.000 Here is Louis C.K.

00:44:08.840 making fun of Parkland kids.

00:44:10.080 But I'm a little disappointed in the younger generation, honestly, because I'm 51 years

00:44:15.480 old.

00:44:16.000 And when I was like 18 to my 20s, I mean, we were idiots.

00:44:19.640 We were getting high, doing f***ing mushrooms and f***ing, and then older people were like,

00:44:26.140 you got to get your f***ing together.

00:44:27.500 And we were like, yeah, f*** you.

00:44:29.780 And I was kind of excited to be in my 50s and see people in their 20s and be like, they're

00:44:34.300 crazy.

00:44:35.740 These kids are nuts.

00:44:37.100 But they're not.

00:44:37.780 They're f***ing me.

00:44:39.040 They're just boring.

00:44:41.040 F***ing tongue.

00:44:41.780 You shouldn't say that.

00:44:43.560 What the f*** are you, an old lady?

00:44:45.440 What the f*** are you doing?

00:44:47.900 That's not appropriate.

00:44:49.500 F*** you.

00:44:50.140 You're a child.

00:44:51.680 Why are you f***ing each other and doing jello shots?

00:44:55.700 Like, why aren't you?

00:44:59.580 That crowd loves it.

00:45:00.480 You should address me.

00:45:01.840 They're like royalty.

00:45:02.860 They tell you what to call them.

00:45:04.440 F***ing.

00:45:04.960 You should address me as they, them.

00:45:10.600 Because I identify as gender neutral.

00:45:15.360 Oh, okay.

00:45:17.020 Okay.

00:45:19.060 Can't say this.

00:45:20.880 You should address me as their.

00:45:23.980 Because I identify as a location.

00:45:28.220 And the location is your mother's f***ing.

00:45:30.760 Okay.

00:45:32.780 It doesn't have to be that nasty.

00:45:35.840 But it can be.

00:45:40.040 I don't know.

00:45:40.780 They testify in front of Congress, these kids?

00:45:43.560 Like, what the f***?

00:45:44.700 What are you doing?

00:45:46.820 You're young.

00:45:47.780 You should be crazy.

00:45:48.800 You should be unhinged.

00:45:50.440 Not in a suit saying,

00:45:51.720 I'm here to tell f*** you.

00:45:54.120 You're not interesting.

00:45:55.900 Because you went to a high school where kids got shot.

00:45:58.360 Why does that mean I have a list of you?

00:46:00.500 How does that make you interesting?

00:46:02.420 You didn't get shot.

00:46:03.280 You pushed some fat kid away.

00:46:05.680 I'm not going to listen to you talking.

00:46:09.700 Man.

00:46:10.420 Oh, first of all, you can do it.

00:46:14.540 We can play all the political games.

00:46:15.840 That is brilliant stuff.

00:46:17.860 Yeah.

00:46:18.140 It's very funny.

00:46:18.620 He's freaking funny.

00:46:19.200 He's just as funny as he's always been.

00:46:21.980 And, you know, you're not allowed.

00:46:23.580 Oh, but the left is now.

00:46:24.860 Oh, he was never funny and he's not funny now.

00:46:27.600 He's mocking Parkland kids.

00:46:29.240 No, he's not.

00:46:30.360 He's saying like, look, you know, this is something everybody thinks, right?

00:46:35.140 Yes.

00:46:35.380 Like, yes, we all understand they went through a tragic circumstance, but that does not make them experts on gun violence.

00:46:40.060 Right.

00:46:40.200 We all know that that's true.

00:46:41.260 Yes, it is true.

00:46:41.660 Everybody in America knows that that's true.

00:46:43.900 And they proved it over and over again.

00:46:45.560 Right.

00:46:46.020 Yeah.

00:46:46.160 And so he's making a joke there and illustrating it to a ridiculous extreme.

00:46:49.800 Yeah.

00:46:50.040 Right.

00:46:50.720 But everybody knows there's a nugget of that that is true.

00:46:55.160 And it's also true that when you jump into the political fray.

00:46:58.140 Yeah.

00:46:58.600 You've opened yourself up to criticism.

00:47:01.020 And for some reason that doesn't apply to them.

00:47:03.340 Well, I'm sorry, it does.

00:47:05.320 It does.

00:47:06.260 If they're going to start preaching gun control, they've opened themselves up to things like this.

00:47:12.700 And I think, you know, their points have to be able to be debated.

00:47:18.220 You have to.

00:47:18.740 You can't have a person in society who has an unquestioned.

00:47:21.940 This is one of the issues when you talk about when they try to go to this level of like, well, all scientists are always right about everything.

00:47:28.480 So, therefore, we listen to everything they say.

00:47:30.120 Now, look, scientists are right about a lot, you know, and they're also wrong a lot.

00:47:33.620 And they're sometimes they're wrong.

00:47:35.280 Right.

00:47:35.500 And they there there can't be someone with this deity like place in our society where everything they say is automatically true and respected.

00:47:46.920 Right.

00:47:47.180 Your points always have to have an ability to be criticized.

00:47:50.900 Now, if you're taking shots at, you know, at kids who are in school shootings because they're bad, you're taking ad hominem sort of attacks.

00:48:00.520 That's a totally different, you know, world.

00:48:03.820 And I don't think that's the right world.

00:48:05.320 Right.

00:48:05.720 No one no one thinks that that's the right thing to do.

00:48:07.400 But you have to be able to criticize their points.

00:48:09.380 And I think there's also an idea to criticize their standing.

00:48:13.200 It's fair.

00:48:14.540 It is fair to say, look, they may have valid points, but them making them, it does not give it any more validity.

00:48:21.900 It does not make it more true that you can't like having a Second Amendment, I believe, is a really good thing.

00:48:32.000 And the left believes is a really bad thing because someone went to a school where people were shot does not make either one of those sides more right or wrong.

00:48:38.520 It's just an emotional tie into that argument that's been raging since 1775.

00:48:44.400 You know, it's a long time people have been talking about this.

00:48:48.480 And you don't just because you have an emotional tie.

00:48:50.760 This is what the left has tries to do after every shooting.

00:48:53.720 Make it as emotional as possible so people forget the sober arguments for guns.

00:48:58.280 Hey, forget it for a couple of weeks while we pass this.

00:49:00.980 Then you can go back to thinking whenever you want.

00:49:03.400 And that was the problem that I think a lot of people had.

00:49:05.220 But again, Louis C.K. is just talking about something that's very obvious.

00:49:08.520 And this has been, very specifically, what he's tried to do with this comedy for a long time.

00:49:14.280 When we come back here in 60 seconds, we're going to let him explain to you exactly how he comes up with this comedy.

00:49:20.640 And this should not be controversial.

00:49:22.000 And this is the way comedy should work.

00:49:24.040 It shouldn't be a controversial point.

00:49:26.260 And we'll give you that.

00:49:27.300 And what he used to say, which was completely okay with the left,

00:49:30.880 when he was asking tough questions and it didn't go after their sacred cows,

00:49:34.860 they were completely loved this guy.

00:49:36.760 We're back with that in 60 seconds.

00:49:38.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:51:08.160 By the way, you can hear my show right before this show, 6 to 8 on the Blaze Radio and TV

00:51:12.920 Network, or anytime on demand, wherever podcasts are sold for free.

00:51:20.380 And they're very inexpensive at those places.

00:51:22.120 Very inexpensive.

00:51:22.780 We're talking about Louis C.K.

00:51:23.760 He's under fire from the left for his commentary.

00:51:28.440 Really, I think the Parkland thing, I think, is a ruse.

00:51:31.640 I mean, what they were upset about is him making fun of the gender stuff, I think, more than

00:51:34.800 anything else.

00:51:35.420 Yes.

00:51:35.720 And so, but here is Louis C.K. in a previous special talking about basically exactly how

00:51:41.380 he comes up with the stuff he talks about.

00:51:43.660 How he finds those dark areas.

00:51:46.040 Here is Louis C.K. explaining himself.

00:51:48.620 This is clip one.

00:51:50.660 Everybody has a competition in their brain of good thoughts and bad thoughts.

00:51:54.380 Hopefully, the good thoughts win.

00:51:56.680 For me, I always have both.

00:51:58.160 I have like the thing I believe, the good thing.

00:52:00.080 That's the thing I believe.

00:52:01.000 And then there's this thing.

00:52:03.020 And I don't believe it, but it is there.

00:52:07.300 It's always this thing and then this thing.

00:52:10.800 It's become a category in my brain that I call, of course, but maybe.

00:52:20.020 That's it, right?

00:52:21.220 That's everybody has that, right?

00:52:22.760 Yeah.

00:52:23.000 You know, you believe something, but there's that little thing that, you know, maybe around

00:52:27.020 the edges comes after you.

00:52:28.360 Listen to Louis C.K.

00:52:29.880 Now, remember, this is a time in which the left loves him.

00:52:33.380 He's honored, respected.

00:52:35.620 When this special is going on, he's at the peak of his career, okay?

00:52:39.480 Everything he says is gold.

00:52:40.960 Everyone loves the guy.

00:52:42.740 Here's him going after the military.

00:52:45.540 Now, before I play this clip, everybody in our audience obviously loves the military.

00:52:50.000 And I love the military.

00:52:51.680 But again, listen to his setup there.

00:52:53.360 There's something he believes.

00:52:54.200 He knows it's true.

00:52:54.840 And there's something kind of there.

00:52:58.480 And remember, it's his job to exploit these, the darkest corners, right?

00:53:04.460 That people don't look.

00:53:05.280 Which is just kind of what he said.

00:53:06.440 Right.

00:53:06.860 This is comedy.

00:53:07.680 This is what you're supposed to do.

00:53:09.140 Here's clip two.

00:53:10.220 Of course, if you're fighting for your country and you get shot or hurt, it's a terrible tragedy.

00:53:15.260 Of course.

00:53:16.580 Of course.

00:53:17.440 But maybe, maybe if you pick up a gun and go to another country and you get shot, it's not that weird.

00:53:30.800 Maybe if you get shot by the dude you were just shooting at, it's a tiny bit your fault.

00:53:37.220 I like it.

00:53:38.080 You're not allowed to say that.

00:53:40.760 No.

00:53:41.080 Right?

00:53:41.800 No.

00:53:41.980 But the left loved him.

00:53:43.540 Oh, they loved that.

00:53:44.360 When he was saying that.

00:53:45.000 Yep.

00:53:45.560 Oh, and he was going down those roads.

00:53:47.660 He was America's biggest hero.

00:53:49.660 He could say that all he wants.

00:53:51.260 And look, he should be allowed to go down even that road.

00:53:55.380 As offensive as it probably is to you to think about that and bring that up in public.

00:54:00.220 Because it's really uncomfortable and offensive to hear that about veterans.

00:54:03.740 Right.

00:54:04.600 However, right?

00:54:05.780 However.

00:54:06.100 That is his job.

00:54:08.000 Yeah.

00:54:08.300 And it's the way he looks at the world.

00:54:10.560 And as he said, he doesn't believe it.

00:54:12.400 And when he was saying that stuff, we weren't saying, hey, Louis C.K. should be silenced.

00:54:16.140 Right.

00:54:16.600 He shouldn't be allowed to speak.

00:54:17.940 No.

00:54:18.160 He shouldn't appear on specials.

00:54:19.800 We shouldn't have any access to Louis C.K.'s disgusting viewpoints.

00:54:24.200 Nobody was saying that.

00:54:24.960 Right?

00:54:25.420 Nobody.

00:54:25.880 Nobody.

00:54:26.480 And there's so few comedians.

00:54:28.060 If I were a comedian right now in the middle of this environment, I don't think I'd be able

00:54:32.340 to deal with the left at all.

00:54:33.300 Oh.

00:54:33.560 I might still believe in socialist policies and all the things that every comedian seems

00:54:38.640 to believe in, like every entertainer does.

00:54:40.700 But how could you take them seriously?

00:54:43.140 I don't know.

00:54:43.580 They are targeting you.

00:54:44.760 They're destroying your industry.

00:54:46.960 Because as Louis C.K. pointed out, it is this idea.

00:54:51.480 They're almost royalty.

00:54:53.140 They get to tell you what you say.

00:54:55.800 They get to tell you how you address them.

00:54:57.720 They get to tell you what opinions are acceptable for you to have.

00:55:00.580 As a comedian, how the hell can you stand up for that?

00:55:03.260 And, you know, if you mention any of that, as Jerry Seinfeld has, then they come after

00:55:07.860 you.

00:55:08.180 Yeah.

00:55:08.640 Oh, yeah.

00:55:09.180 And that's happening.

00:55:10.080 It's happening.

00:55:10.760 It's happening right now.

00:55:11.940 Where's the...

00:55:12.320 We have the...

00:55:13.120 I have a story.

00:55:13.740 There's a new list out.

00:55:15.600 The 13 jokes that are no longer acceptable from Seinfeld.

00:55:21.160 Oh, jeez.

00:55:22.220 My gosh.

00:55:22.880 Oh, here it is.

00:55:23.320 From the show?

00:55:24.180 From the show.

00:55:24.560 Or from his stand-up comedy?

00:55:25.720 From the show.

00:55:26.360 Okay.

00:55:26.600 13 jokes Seinfeld are now super offensive.

00:55:29.260 Number one, the soup Nazi.

00:55:31.480 No longer allowed to like the soup Nazi anymore.

00:55:34.300 Why?

00:55:35.080 Do they explain why?

00:55:36.160 What might be the most well-known joke from Seinfeld is also one of the most disappointing

00:55:40.460 ones.

00:55:41.380 Maybe in 1995, when the episode titled The Soup Nazi aired, it felt okay for viewers.

00:55:47.360 But in 2018, when groups of neo-Nazis have become noticeably emboldened, using the term

00:55:52.900 Nazi to label someone as a joke doesn't sit so well anymore.

00:55:56.600 These are people telling us what comedy is supposed to be.

00:55:59.060 That's unreal.

00:56:00.980 Number two, the Indian giver joke.

00:56:04.080 Joking about a Native American person being an Indian giver was never okay.

00:56:07.680 And it's definitely not okay now.

00:56:09.780 Joking that a racial stereotype about an oppressed group is actually truthful and is on a dangerous

00:56:14.360 road.

00:56:15.260 And Seinfeld probably couldn't get away with doing that in 2018.

00:56:18.800 Who are these people?

00:56:20.260 Who lives like this?

00:56:21.460 Also, I might be wrong on this, but the term Indian giver, it's not more a slam on the

00:56:28.140 U.S. government who used to give them land all the time and then take it back.

00:56:32.380 That makes sense.

00:56:33.340 Isn't that more a slam on the U.S. government than it is the actual Indians?

00:56:38.120 I never thought about it.

00:56:39.240 I just, I gotta think that maybe.

00:56:42.240 That makes sense though.

00:56:43.200 It does, doesn't it?

00:56:44.080 You're an Indian giver, so you gave it to the Indians and then you took it away.

00:56:46.760 Right.

00:56:48.020 Just the whole definition of that phrase.

00:56:50.480 They should be on board with this one.

00:56:51.580 It's criticizing the U.S. government.

00:56:52.900 Right.

00:56:53.260 I like that.

00:56:53.800 Kramer stomping on a burning Puerto Rican flag.

00:56:58.080 This episode actually caused a controversy when it aired.

00:57:00.420 And the New York Times reported that the president of the National Puerto Rican Coalition called

00:57:05.060 it an unconscionable insult.

00:57:06.880 It's unacceptable that a Puerto Rican flag would be used by Seinfeld as a stage prop under

00:57:11.260 any circumstances.

00:57:12.460 Over 20 years later, the joke is still sour.

00:57:16.560 Wow.

00:57:17.620 The joke that someone thinks Jerry and George are in a same-sex relationship.

00:57:21.320 Can't joke about that anymore.

00:57:22.900 When Kramer has house guests from Japan sleep in his dresser drawers.

00:57:28.520 I can't joke about that anymore.

00:57:29.540 I don't remember that episode.

00:57:31.020 I don't really either.

00:57:31.620 When Jerry accidentally gets a man deported.

00:57:33.660 Oh, that's wrong.

00:57:34.620 You can't talk about that.

00:57:36.120 Cedric and Bob appeared in three episodes, including a Puerto Rican Day episode.

00:57:39.540 Each episode they appear, the two characters who make up a gay couple play up stereotypes

00:57:43.360 with homosexual male culture.

00:57:46.560 Oh my gosh, you can't do that.

00:57:47.960 Again, I mean, you know, what was the show, Will and Grace?

00:57:50.800 I mean, Will and Grace was put on the air initially.

00:57:53.280 It's seen as this big, like, boundary-breaking show.

00:57:56.560 It's about gay issues, and it's one of the only stories that have been like that.

00:58:00.500 Will and Grace largely was an issue where they created a show in which they could make

00:58:05.000 a ridiculous gay stereotype and make as many gay jokes as they wanted with protection.

00:58:09.040 I swear to you, the ridiculous stereotypes in that show are way worse than any other show

00:58:15.740 I've ever seen.

00:58:16.940 Yes, they have one quote-unquote normal guy who's gay, but then they just throw in another

00:58:22.140 guy who does every horrible stereotype that has ever been used against gay people.

00:58:25.960 Right, and that was praised.

00:58:27.160 Well, Joe Biden said,

00:58:28.080 Will and Grace probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody's

00:58:33.160 ever done.

00:58:35.420 I can't wait for him to run.

00:58:36.700 I can't wait for it.

00:58:38.300 It's ridiculous.

00:58:39.480 It is.

00:58:40.020 We'll get back into this.

00:58:41.540 Love to hear your thoughts as well.

00:58:43.060 Are you okay with dealing with a little controversy in your comedy?

00:58:45.960 Is that okay?

00:58:46.620 Can we deal with that as adults?

00:58:48.500 I don't even know anymore.

00:58:49.600 It's Pat and Stu on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:56.540 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program, 888-727-BECK.

00:59:00.380 Talking about political correctness and how crazy it's gotten to the point where you can't

00:59:05.160 do comedy anymore, unless you're SNL and the comedy you do is bashing Trump, then it's fine.

00:59:12.640 You can do that.

00:59:13.380 You can pretty much say whatever you want in that realm.

00:59:15.240 Yes.

00:59:15.800 And, you know, you can call for his death.

00:59:17.840 You can do a skit where he's assassinated.

00:59:20.300 You can do any of those things if it's against somebody on the right.

00:59:24.600 Otherwise, forget it.

00:59:25.660 I guess the only things that are safe to make fun of now are white men, old white men, and

00:59:36.220 old white men who are Christian.

00:59:38.220 That's about it.

00:59:39.460 Really, it's strange.

00:59:41.200 It's strange.

00:59:41.880 I mean, listen to this.

00:59:43.340 They had a...

00:59:44.260 We went over...

00:59:44.820 Louis C.K.

00:59:45.360 He's under fire for being controversial.

00:59:48.500 Then we have...

00:59:49.360 They're going after Seinfeld now.

00:59:50.700 There, there's a list of things from the Seinfeld episodes, things like, um, the Chinese

00:59:57.180 woman, the episode, the Chinese woman.

00:59:59.300 If I like their race, how can that be racist?

01:00:01.340 Jerry asks after telling Elaine that he loves Chinese women.

01:00:04.060 Hopefully the issues that in that exchange don't require further explanation for anyone

01:00:08.620 in 2018.

01:00:09.640 No, actually they do.

01:00:10.420 I don't really get it.

01:00:11.300 You, you're saying you like it, but I thought it was if you don't like a specific race because

01:00:15.380 of that race, then that's a problem.

01:00:17.320 Like, remember when all...

01:00:18.960 It's like crazy.

01:00:19.740 Remember what all we used to hear is like, you have to respect people's sexual preference.

01:00:23.260 So he has a sexual preference for Chinese women.

01:00:26.000 Okay?

01:00:26.440 Okay.

01:00:26.940 He happens to like Chinese women.

01:00:27.920 Yeah.

01:00:28.360 That's not okay.

01:00:29.040 That preference isn't okay.

01:00:30.340 We can't even...

01:00:31.660 Can't talk about it.

01:00:32.980 Again, like, these are things that are basic and should not be controversial.

01:00:35.980 At the same time that we're getting rid of Seinfeld, we're getting rid of Louis C.K.,

01:00:40.840 we have this.

01:00:41.760 Netflix has dropped an episode from a show called Patriot Act starring Hassan Minhaj.

01:00:49.820 I know you're a huge fan, Pat.

01:00:51.000 Huge fan.

01:00:51.460 Sorry if I butchered that name.

01:00:52.840 But I know you've been to all those things that he does.

01:00:56.000 And he did an episode that was...

01:00:57.860 I've got a Hassan Minhaj library at home with all of his works.

01:01:02.360 Really?

01:01:02.700 Yeah.

01:01:03.020 It's...

01:01:03.340 Yeah.

01:01:04.200 Is that that room in the back?

01:01:05.140 It's just an entire section in...

01:01:07.080 Behind that library there?

01:01:08.080 Yes.

01:01:08.380 Okay.

01:01:08.660 Yeah.

01:01:08.760 That's very nice.

01:01:09.380 Very nice.

01:01:09.940 Yeah.

01:01:10.200 That's probably the nicest room in your house.

01:01:11.660 I'm a big fan.

01:01:12.160 I was wondering what was in there.

01:01:13.380 Thousands and thousands of volumes of what he does, which are great.

01:01:17.080 I can't get enough of Hassan.

01:01:18.380 No.

01:01:18.600 I really can't.

01:01:19.140 You can't.

01:01:19.740 But...

01:01:19.980 So you knew this, but let me inform the audience.

01:01:21.360 Okay.

01:01:21.580 He did an episode that he was critical of the Saudi Arabian regime over the Jamal Khashoggi

01:01:26.720 incident.

01:01:28.100 And Netflix...

01:01:28.740 Wait.

01:01:28.860 I thought that was supposed to be...

01:01:30.600 I thought you were supposed to be critical of the Saudis because of the Khashoggi thing.

01:01:35.740 Right.

01:01:36.180 I mean, if you're on the left, that's of course...

01:01:39.040 Yes.

01:01:39.120 And I think there's a very good argument to be critical of the Saudis.

01:01:42.240 Yeah, there kind of is.

01:01:43.460 I mean, we all are critical, but I know what you're saying.

01:01:45.780 Like, he's been lionized into this, you know, freedom fighter of all time.

01:01:49.440 Exactly.

01:01:49.940 And he had all sorts of issues.

01:01:51.460 And by the way...

01:01:51.920 And Trump wasn't critical enough.

01:01:53.440 And Trump wasn't critical enough.

01:01:54.700 By the way, I will give the Washington Post some credit afterwards, after he was writing

01:01:58.660 columns for them.

01:01:59.580 And after he died, they kind of went into his history about who he was getting, like,

01:02:03.720 approval for with some of his columns.

01:02:06.960 And it was, like, straight out of the government of Qatar.

01:02:09.780 And, like, he had all these, like, very strange connections in the Middle East.

01:02:13.020 And they actually exposed some of that themselves, which you give him some credit for.

01:02:17.400 Because, honestly, like, you weren't allowed to say anything critical about the guy.

01:02:20.440 And I don't...

01:02:21.040 You know, who knows?

01:02:21.620 I don't want to be critical over the guy after he's died.

01:02:23.460 But it is important to put who he is in perspective and understand where he's coming from.

01:02:27.340 Yeah.

01:02:27.440 Anyway, they were critical of Saudi Arabia on the show.

01:02:30.420 The Saudi government went to Netflix and said, take that episode down.

01:02:33.700 And they did.

01:02:34.780 So, the Saudi government is now enforcing their standards.

01:02:39.580 Dictating to American companies what they can do and not do?

01:02:42.920 I would be...

01:02:43.940 Screw you.

01:02:44.940 If you don't want to have Netflix available in your country, fine.

01:02:47.680 Bye-bye.

01:02:48.880 You're taking episodes off of my service.

01:02:51.620 Are you nuts?

01:02:53.340 That's amazing.

01:02:55.160 That is incredible.

01:02:55.940 Wow.

01:02:56.300 And that's where we are.

01:02:57.920 That is where we are with this.

01:02:59.320 And I think you should have an incredibly wide latitude of what you accept, particularly when it comes to comedy.

01:03:05.600 I mean, all forms of art, right?

01:03:06.880 Like, I think that's all, you know, it's all fair game.

01:03:10.260 But, I mean, comedy is the most important to me.

01:03:11.920 And that's why satire is specifically excluded in things like libel.

01:03:17.820 Copyright.

01:03:18.420 Yeah.

01:03:18.900 Yeah.

01:03:19.260 I mean, like, you can, you know, the weird Al thing has been around for a million years, right?

01:03:24.200 And people are like, well, how can he...

01:03:26.320 He always asks permission.

01:03:27.680 Yeah, he does.

01:03:28.420 And so, he'll go to an artist and say, hey, I want to do a parody of your song and here's what it is.

01:03:31.820 Can I use it?

01:03:32.780 And 99% of the time they say yes.

01:03:34.760 Every once in a while they say no.

01:03:37.240 And I think he respects us, doesn't he?

01:03:39.440 And he respects it.

01:03:39.720 He may really...

01:03:40.560 I don't think he has to.

01:03:41.780 He doesn't.

01:03:42.400 But he does.

01:03:43.000 And that's the thing.

01:03:43.580 He doesn't.

01:03:44.260 When it comes to satire and parody, he doesn't have to respect it.

01:03:46.940 Now, he's going to deal with legal issues if they sue, but he'll win.

01:03:50.580 But, you know, still, no one wants to get sued.

01:03:52.260 So, that's part of it.

01:03:53.320 And I think he also has respect for the artists.

01:03:54.800 If they don't want to be part of his little games, then they don't have to be.

01:03:57.340 But, I mean, still, like, that's very well protected.

01:03:59.220 And it's smart.

01:04:00.000 It should be.

01:04:01.040 That has to be protected.

01:04:02.100 And we should all...

01:04:04.240 This happens occasionally with conservatives.

01:04:06.280 Where someone will say something crazy on the left, and we all get all fired up, and it's our outrage of the day.

01:04:11.020 It shouldn't be.

01:04:12.300 We should every single time let it roll.

01:04:14.120 Who cares?

01:04:15.040 If liberal comedians want to make dumb jokes about conservatives, no matter how mean and awful they are,

01:04:19.120 we should all be adult enough to deal with it and move on.

01:04:22.200 There used to be an expression that was widely accepted, and now it's completely irrelevant.

01:04:30.000 And it went like, sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me.

01:04:36.960 We are completely the opposite of that now.

01:04:40.020 Completely the opposite.

01:04:41.140 And that is what Louis C.K. brought up.

01:04:42.880 Yeah.

01:04:43.060 You know, the idea that people get to dictate to you what you call them.

01:04:48.880 And if you don't call them the right thing, you lose your job.

01:04:52.280 You can...

01:04:52.960 I mean, people have lost their job because they refuse to change the pronoun based on what the person wants.

01:04:59.560 Now, you...

01:04:59.960 Right before vacation, we had the story of a teacher who lost her job because she refused to call a trans student that she knew as a...

01:05:08.120 I don't know.

01:05:08.560 It went one way or the other.

01:05:09.500 I don't remember which.

01:05:10.360 But she knew as the other gender the last year and now wanted to be called by another gender.

01:05:15.740 And so she went with a new name.

01:05:18.360 She would call this person the new name, but wouldn't call her her.

01:05:23.600 And that means she loses her job?

01:05:25.740 And she lost her job because of it.

01:05:27.820 I don't want to say she.

01:05:28.700 It could be...

01:05:29.420 It might have been.

01:05:30.200 It could be whoever it was lost their job.

01:05:31.900 Yes.

01:05:32.360 That is an insane thing.

01:05:34.240 It's crazy.

01:05:34.700 Right?

01:05:35.000 Like, that is not...

01:05:36.420 In a country that supposedly prioritizes free speech kind of above a lot of the other amendments.

01:05:42.500 I don't know if anyone's noticed that it's number one.

01:05:45.640 In a country that does that, the idea that someone can dictate to you what you say is an incredible...

01:05:53.500 Incredible.

01:05:54.280 Incredible encroachment on our rights.

01:05:56.120 I mean, think about...

01:05:57.380 And right now, it's not like a legal standard per se.

01:05:59.660 Although, I mean, when you're talking about a public school, it kind of is.

01:06:02.740 But I mean, like, we went through this just recently in the Supreme Court where California passed a law requiring religious institutions to post information telling people when they came in that they could get abortion somewhere else.

01:06:17.700 Like, that...

01:06:19.700 Wow.

01:06:20.100 That is insane.

01:06:23.060 Now, luckily, the Supreme Court, you know, knocked that down.

01:06:26.380 But we're one vote away from that not being knocked down.

01:06:29.660 And it's...

01:06:31.660 And actually, I don't remember the exact count in that particular case.

01:06:34.380 But we know how on the verge we are on all of this stuff.

01:06:37.860 It's really crazy.

01:06:38.800 And Louis C.K. has been doing this stuff for a while.

01:06:41.040 And the left used to love it.

01:06:42.500 Even when he went into areas that were uncomfortable.

01:06:46.040 Like, abortion, for example.

01:06:47.620 Now, Louis C.K. did a rant on abortion that when he did it, I couldn't believe...

01:06:53.480 I couldn't believe it happened.

01:06:55.440 Because this...

01:06:56.680 You're not supposed to say these things.

01:06:58.260 Right.

01:06:58.560 But he was still okay.

01:07:00.080 He was still okay when he crossed even this line.

01:07:03.200 People hate abortion protesters.

01:07:06.960 Oops.

01:07:08.000 We lose the audio?

01:07:08.780 Yeah.

01:07:09.200 It just...

01:07:10.140 It just stopped.

01:07:11.000 It just stopped.

01:07:12.060 And decided to reboot.

01:07:13.560 The machine just rebooted.

01:07:14.680 All right.

01:07:14.900 Let's go a different one then.

01:07:16.240 We'll come back to the abortion one.

01:07:17.420 Let's do slavery.

01:07:18.700 Now, here's another one of these examples.

01:07:20.220 Where he goes in the most uncomfortable area possible.

01:07:24.120 And tries to find the thing in the dark corner that you're not supposed to talk about.

01:07:30.340 And exploit it for comedy.

01:07:31.840 Remember, this is his job.

01:07:33.280 Yes, he's talking about these issues.

01:07:34.620 But he's trying to make people laugh.

01:07:36.240 Putting people in an impossibly uncomfortable position.

01:07:38.580 Let him talk to you about slavery for a moment.

01:07:41.800 Of course.

01:07:42.840 Of course slavery is the worst thing that ever happened.

01:07:47.080 Of course it is.

01:07:48.020 Every time it's happened.

01:07:49.440 Black people in America.

01:07:51.000 Jews in Egypt.

01:07:52.020 Every time a whole race of people has been enslaved.

01:07:54.320 It's a terrible, horrible thing.

01:07:56.480 Of course.

01:07:57.260 But maybe, maybe every incredible human achievement in history was done with slaves.

01:08:07.240 Every single thing where you go, how did they build those pyramids?

01:08:11.800 They just threw human death and suffering at them until they were finished.

01:08:17.560 How did we traverse the nation with a railroad so quickly?

01:08:20.460 We just threw Chinese people in caves and blew them up and didn't give a f*** what happened to them.

01:08:24.940 There's no end to what you can do when you don't get a f*** about particular people.

01:08:29.340 You can do anything.

01:08:30.540 So is he saying slavery is good?

01:08:35.720 Is that what he's saying?

01:08:37.900 He sounds like an alt-righter.

01:08:40.580 This is long before this current controversy, by the way.

01:08:43.700 Wow.

01:08:44.740 And you notice, too, by the way, again, there's always been a part of, I think, Louis C.K.

01:08:48.460 that is not the crazy liberal activist.

01:08:52.180 That is, I think, really part of him.

01:08:53.640 You hear it in there a little bit when he mentions slavery, but also brings up Jews and brings up Chinese people,

01:09:00.300 brings up all the other people who have been enslaved.

01:09:02.340 It's not just a story about whether you should give more money to Al Sharpton.

01:09:07.280 That's not the story of slavery.

01:09:09.260 The story of slavery is a human condition that is a horrific thing.

01:09:13.960 That has infested way too many societies.

01:09:16.820 It's not just a, how do I exploit votes out of black voters today in America?

01:09:22.940 That's not the whole story.

01:09:23.920 And he points that out.

01:09:24.880 Do you have the abortion one, or should we?

01:09:26.620 You know, I pushed the button again, and it reset again.

01:09:29.360 So they don't want us to play that clip.

01:09:33.600 They're silencing him.

01:09:34.720 They're silencing Louis C.K. even here.

01:09:36.860 It's amazing.

01:09:37.700 Yeah.

01:09:37.880 All right.

01:09:38.320 Let's take a break.

01:09:39.120 888-727-BEC is the phone number.

01:09:41.620 It's Pat and Stu in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:48.600 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:09:51.280 Glenn's back on Monday.

01:09:52.500 888-727-BEC.

01:09:54.600 Sad news for people living in Humboldt County, California.

01:10:00.480 The organizers for the Women's March that was going to happen there, they announced on

01:10:05.500 Friday it's been canceled due to whiteness.

01:10:11.040 Canceled due to whiteness.

01:10:12.960 A lot of white people had signed up to participate.

01:10:15.700 And, well, you can't have that.

01:10:19.260 It's embarrassing.

01:10:19.920 They just couldn't find enough black anti-Semites to fill the room, unfortunately.

01:10:23.900 No, they couldn't.

01:10:24.620 They couldn't do it.

01:10:25.320 That's sad.

01:10:26.000 So there were, I guess, not enough blacks and Hispanics for their liking.

01:10:30.900 So they said they're still interested in holding an event in March on International Women's Day.

01:10:36.840 But they did have to cancel this one due to, and this is a quote, overwhelmingly white participants.

01:10:47.560 I love that.

01:10:49.280 What?

01:10:50.480 It's interesting, too, because this is essentially an implicit criticism of black people and Hispanics, right?

01:10:57.500 It's not like they said we don't allow blacks and Hispanics to come to this rally, right?

01:11:02.220 It's for whatever reason, blacks and Hispanics didn't want to come to the rally.

01:11:04.860 They didn't feel like it.

01:11:05.600 They didn't feel like it for whatever reason.

01:11:07.300 That would seem to be an indictment on minorities, wouldn't it?

01:11:09.680 From their perspective, right?

01:11:11.020 Yes.

01:11:11.440 Wait, why aren't the black and Hispanic voters or people, and they don't even have to be voters, but just people.

01:11:18.820 Why aren't they showing up to our stupid little rally?

01:11:20.860 It's almost like they don't care about this issue.

01:11:22.600 In a way, it's critical of them, right?

01:11:25.680 Plenty of white people showed.

01:11:27.200 Yeah.

01:11:27.540 White people showed.

01:11:28.360 I assume even men showed to the women's rally.

01:11:31.840 But not enough.

01:11:33.000 Not enough black people.

01:11:33.940 The Census Bureau data from this county says 74% are white, 12% Hispanic, 6% Native American, 2% Asian, and 1% black.

01:11:44.880 So if you didn't have at least those percentages going, I guess the rally's not worth doing.

01:11:50.580 They couldn't get 1% black to show for the rally?

01:11:53.340 Apparently not.

01:11:54.220 Well, and the thing is, of course, there's no actual answer here.

01:11:58.760 If you had 13% Hispanic and 1% black for all that diversity, but 6% Native American, it will never be enough.

01:12:06.540 No, it's not.

01:12:07.120 I mean, 74% of this county is white.

01:12:10.020 That's about the percentage of the United States in general.

01:12:13.600 You know, the NFL is called racist, and 75% of the league is black.

01:12:17.620 And that's not, that's not, that's still racist.

01:12:21.620 Especially for, like, LeBron James, who doesn't, who's not even in the NFL.

01:12:25.900 No, right.

01:12:26.520 And yet he's calling out the NFL for being, the white owners have a slave mentality.

01:12:33.260 Oh, I'm so glad.

01:12:35.020 After all my LeBron dislike over all of these years, that so many people are now seeing the way.

01:12:39.640 Oh, I'm right there with you now.

01:12:41.180 I'm right.

01:12:41.640 I just can't stand this guy.

01:12:42.880 Every time he opens his mouth, you see how ridiculous he is.

01:12:45.800 He really is ridiculous.

01:12:47.200 Seriously, these men that are making, you know, anywhere from $2 million to $25 or $30 million a year,

01:12:53.340 you have the audacity to call them, to call those owners who are paying them that money.

01:12:58.820 They have a slave mentality?

01:13:00.800 Unreal.

01:13:01.300 Maybe you need to look up what a slave is.

01:13:04.920 Because, by definition, they don't make any money for playing these games.

01:13:08.860 Plus, they're not forced into playing these games.

01:13:13.260 There's a lot of problems with it.

01:13:14.660 The only difference is all the things.

01:13:16.200 Is everything, yeah.

01:13:17.480 But it's just that.

01:13:18.480 Every single possibility.

01:13:20.340 Wow.

01:13:21.100 And, you know, there's never, that's an amazing thing, though.

01:13:23.760 First of all, look, what was, what's the, what is the problem with racism, right?

01:13:30.040 The problem with racism is you're taking a group of people and you're identifying them in a, you're grouping them all together, right?

01:13:38.740 Mm-hmm.

01:13:39.220 And you are disliking them for whatever reason.

01:13:43.520 Or assigning a tendency to all of them just based on their skin color.

01:13:46.880 Exactly.

01:13:47.480 Tell me how this Women's March thing isn't racist.

01:13:50.500 They're, first of all, identifying people based on race and making decisions based on skin color, which is never a good idea.

01:13:58.000 Never make a decision based on skin color.

01:14:00.940 Easy rule to live by.

01:14:02.740 It's a freaking easy one to live by.

01:14:04.980 I think so.

01:14:05.680 Never, ever do it, period.

01:14:07.580 That doesn't, that means not giving them all sorts of perks above and beyond other colors.

01:14:12.080 Like saying, oh, black people get more than Hispanics.

01:14:14.100 It's not doing that either.

01:14:15.880 And it's saying, hey, black people get less than Hispanics.

01:14:17.960 It's not doing that either.

01:14:19.080 It's neither, you never make a decision based on skin color or race.

01:14:22.380 Really easy.

01:14:23.360 But here they're saying, hey, not enough black people came.

01:14:25.980 So, number one, they're making a decision based on race.

01:14:29.740 Number two, what they're implicitly saying because they believe their organization is good, is they're saying the people who aren't coming are bad.

01:14:37.240 How is it not implicitly racist?

01:14:45.300 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:14:49.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:14:50.800 Today with Pat and Stu, Glenn returns on Monday.

01:14:57.160 888-727-BECK.

01:14:59.360 We've got some important information on the climate to share with you coming up here.

01:15:04.420 It's critical.

01:15:05.720 It's critical that you know this.

01:15:06.980 It is.

01:15:07.640 Bernie Sanders, as he has a way of doing, is putting things in perspective.

01:15:11.880 We need to know this as Americans.

01:15:13.800 And we also have a new discovery from scientists, which is pretty interesting.

01:15:21.000 I didn't know this, and you may not have either, but you will very, very soon.

01:15:25.820 Did you hear, by the way, too, Chuck Todd did a show about the climate, and they no longer are even allowing the other side.

01:15:31.500 They're now like, nope, we're acknowledging up front.

01:15:34.320 We're not even going to tell you what the other side is.

01:15:35.960 And did he acknowledge that up front?

01:15:37.680 Yeah, he said it up front.

01:15:38.940 Really?

01:15:39.180 We no longer give voice to these deniers.

01:15:43.020 That's basically the way they put it.

01:15:44.820 It's an amazing world we live in.

01:15:46.640 Wow.

01:15:46.880 Again, this is NBC News.

01:15:47.860 Is it ever.

01:15:48.360 Right?

01:15:49.040 So that's all coming up here in just a second.

01:15:50.920 We're going to pause for 60 seconds and get right into it.

01:15:56.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:15:58.540 Every two seconds, there is a new victim of identity theft, which means a criminal could be spending your money or applying for loans in your name or even damaging your credit.

01:16:07.460 The good credit you've worked so hard to build.

01:16:09.600 Unfortunately, you might miss certain threats to your identity just by checking bank statements or monitoring your credit.

01:16:15.580 But there's a good thing here.

01:16:16.700 It's called LifeLock Identity Theft Protection.

01:16:19.260 LifeLock uses technology that they came up with and own, and it detects and alerts you to a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark web.

01:16:29.260 And if you do have an issue involving any kind of identity theft, one of LifeLock's identity restoration specialists are going to work to fix it.

01:16:36.580 That's worth the price of admission every time.

01:16:39.440 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

01:16:42.880 But with LifeLock, you get identity theft protection and additional features to help protect your devices against cyber threats for as low as $9.99 a month.

01:16:58.540 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:17:15.680 You know, if climate change isn't your number one issue, protecting the planet from mankind, then you should almost be locked away.

01:17:28.260 Maybe even not almost.

01:17:29.720 You should be locked away.

01:17:31.120 And, of course, you saying that, Pat, makes you a denier because you're not going far enough.

01:17:35.700 Okay?

01:17:36.360 I want you to know that.

01:17:37.980 Because I hedged on whether or not you should be locked away.

01:17:40.840 Well, there was a time in which locking away people was probably enough.

01:17:44.140 It was appropriate, but not now?

01:17:45.800 We need to go much further than that now.

01:17:47.440 All right.

01:17:47.660 And Bernie Sanders is outlining kind of a great way to approach the climate, I think.

01:17:54.120 This is, I mean, there's so many ways to go on it.

01:17:58.060 Let me just give you the tweet.

01:18:00.520 Bernie Sanders says, quote,

01:18:02.280 We must look at climate change as if it were a devastating military attack against the United States and the entire planet, and we must respond accordingly.

01:18:11.460 Now, let's start taking it at the base level here first.

01:18:15.840 If a military force committed a devastating attack against the United States, the first thing we would do was try to kill the people responsible for it.

01:18:26.840 Yes.

01:18:27.260 Right?

01:18:27.600 Okay.

01:18:28.180 Yes.

01:18:28.380 In the United States' entire history, now, this is not a questionable attack to Bernie, right?

01:18:33.420 This is not like, okay, well, I don't know how to handle this.

01:18:35.200 This is like Hitler comes in with bombers, right, and like starts bombing cities.

01:18:39.660 A devastating military attack from a foreign force.

01:18:42.400 What we would try to do is kill everybody in the Nazi army, right?

01:18:46.720 Yes.

01:18:47.120 So, I assume, I think I can assume with decent confidence that Bernie Sanders is advocating we kill the people he believes are responsible for climate change.

01:18:56.780 I mean, it's gotten to the point where that's, I don't know that that's even out of the realm of possibility of what he's saying.

01:19:03.420 It's that bad.

01:19:05.220 We've seen occasional quotes from people in the climate side that say, like, these people are a virus.

01:19:11.100 You know, Prince What's-His-Face in Great Britain said this famously.

01:19:16.560 He said, basically, humanity is a virus.

01:19:18.440 Yeah.

01:19:18.760 And we need to treat it like it's a virus.

01:19:21.180 I mean, this is a devastating military attack, though.

01:19:23.280 That's how we respond.

01:19:24.620 Now, oddly, it's not necessarily how Bernie Sanders responds.

01:19:27.860 So, I don't know if we should write, like, a harshly worded letter to climate change to try to stop it.

01:19:32.780 I don't know if that's how he...

01:19:34.420 That's nicely.

01:19:34.540 We need to reverse its course.

01:19:36.920 Maybe blame our government for being too mean to the climate so that then we can say that the climate change is our fault.

01:19:44.020 I don't know exactly what you're supposed to do here, but typically the United States would do that.

01:19:47.840 We would step up and we would launch a giant military effort to destroy whoever was responsible.

01:19:54.820 And I don't think it's that...

01:19:57.340 I mean, I don't...

01:19:58.760 I guess if you ask Bernie, he's not going to say, I want to go kill every oil executive.

01:20:02.720 I'm guessing.

01:20:03.460 I think it's a question that certainly would be asked if the equivalent thing were said by a Republican.

01:20:09.380 Let's just say, what's a big issue that Republicans get?

01:20:11.720 Like, religious freedom.

01:20:13.520 We're like, religious freedom.

01:20:14.720 We should treat that as it was a...

01:20:15.820 You know, the attacks on religious freedom should be treated as if it were a devastating military attack against the United States and the entire planet.

01:20:21.900 What do you think the outcry would be from the left?

01:20:24.820 Of course.

01:20:25.480 You're saying we have to kill all atheists?

01:20:27.260 And every single Republican, not just the Republican who said it, but every single Republican would be required to answer whether they agree with it and how they disagree with it.

01:20:36.740 Absolutely.

01:20:37.060 No one will ask Bernie Sanders about this in this way.

01:20:40.800 They might say, well, what did you mean by that?

01:20:42.300 And give them an opportunity to say, well, I'm just trying to say it's a serious effort we all need to unite on.

01:20:45.760 Right?

01:20:45.900 Like, they'll come up with some justification.

01:20:48.120 But that is pretty cleanly worded.

01:20:50.540 We must look at climate change as if it were a devastating military attack against the United States and the entire planet.

01:20:55.420 And we must respond accordingly.

01:20:58.640 How do you respond to that?

01:21:00.620 When you have a devastating attack against your country, you go to war.

01:21:04.000 You bomb somebody.

01:21:05.280 You bomb somebody.

01:21:05.940 You start killing people.

01:21:07.580 That is what countries do.

01:21:10.000 So I guess we look for B-52s over ExxonMobil today.

01:21:13.080 I think so.

01:21:14.900 All right-wing think tanks, you know, batting down the hatches.

01:21:19.440 So that is fascinating.

01:21:20.880 I think it is interesting to look at it from the what if a Republican said this standpoint as well.

01:21:27.160 It really would be, it would dominate the news coverage for a very long time.

01:21:30.500 No doubt.

01:21:31.200 Now, of course, none of the issues that we think are serious, they think are serious.

01:21:34.320 Right?

01:21:34.900 If we say taxes are too high, we should say, like, there's nothing that, you know, there's nothing like that.

01:21:39.780 And it's so funny to see how the left has somewhat successfully painted people on the right as being, you know,

01:21:46.880 they used to call Glenn that he was doom and gloom and he'd be in the doom room and he's just locking himself up and he's always catastrophic.

01:21:53.320 There is nothing in the, I put it as plainly as possible, nothing in the history of the planet that is more catastrophic in its predictions than climate change right now.

01:22:04.600 They will say literally everybody on Earth is going to die.

01:22:08.740 How can you get more catastrophic than that?

01:22:10.640 They're saying everybody's life is at risk on the entire planet and they're saying it's happening now.

01:22:17.260 They're saying every single thing that is negative in the climate is blamed on global warming.

01:22:23.120 Everything that is that is negative as far as a fire or I mean, I bet earthquakes are coming.

01:22:27.980 They're going to start blaming earthquakes on climate change.

01:22:30.900 They will blame anything on climate change.

01:22:33.840 We used to do a thing on the wonderful world of stew, which, by the way, all episodes are available on your subscription to blaze TV.

01:22:39.340 You should sign up to that and get this show, get to Pat Gray Unleashed, News and Why It Matters, all the stuff, plus all the CRTV shows.

01:22:44.580 We merged with them last year if you didn't happen to hear that towards the holiday.

01:22:47.680 So you got like 30 shows and you should sign up at blazetv.com slash Beck.

01:22:52.260 But we used to do a thing called, here's another 10 things blamed on global warming.

01:22:57.520 And that would be everything from prostitution to, you know, you know, antlers falling off of deer to, you know, too much sex among rabbits.

01:23:11.900 Like every single thing that happens in our society has a tie to this.

01:23:16.800 And you wonder why people can't take it seriously.

01:23:20.400 It's hard for people to take seriously because, A, it's very difficult for anyone to conceptualize how a 0.9 degrees Celsius temperature rise over a century is going to be as catastrophic as, I don't know, ISIS.

01:23:32.180 Or the fact that my, you know, my brother doesn't have a job and he's struggling or the fact that I can't pay my bills or whatever the issue is that actually hits home to people.

01:23:43.260 Or the fact that, you know, millions of Muslims are currently being put in concentration camps in China or that millions of people.

01:23:49.480 I mean, we've lowered the poverty rate and the amount of kids dying by about half since 1990, which is a massive accomplishment.

01:23:57.620 But it still means way too many kids are just dying of starvation and disease that are preventable.

01:24:01.900 These are things happening right now.

01:24:04.200 And the idea that, you know, the idea that, in theory, climate change will make these things 20% worse in 50 years does not compare with the person who's currently starving, right?

01:24:15.880 But you can do much more, much more quickly to people who actually are alive right now.

01:24:20.860 And you can also create innovations that help those people in the future.

01:24:24.700 All the predictions from the night, I mean, we've talked about this before, but the big environmental issue 100 years ago was how do we get all of this cow manure from the horses or the horse manure?

01:24:36.560 It's weird to have the cow manure from the horses.

01:24:38.040 I don't know if they're just importing it or what, but horse manure, how do we get it off the island of Manhattan?

01:24:42.220 It's piling up.

01:24:44.000 And as more people move to Manhattan and these streets get busier, we're going to have so many horses, there's going to be horse crap all over the streets.

01:24:50.500 And we're on an island.

01:24:51.840 How are we going to get it all off?

01:24:53.740 That was the environmental concern 100 years ago.

01:24:56.400 And we're told to believe that in 100 years from now, they're going to understand exactly what's going on.

01:25:01.200 It's insane.

01:25:02.640 It's insane.

01:25:03.200 It's so bad that on Meet the Press, Chuck Todd tackled the whole show.

01:25:14.260 And he said, this is an unusual thing, but it's so serious.

01:25:16.860 We're going to take the whole show and talk about climate change.

01:25:19.540 Yes.

01:25:19.940 And made the point that the science is settled.

01:25:24.200 There is no debate.

01:25:25.420 Here's how he started out the discussion.

01:25:28.140 Do we have that?

01:25:30.020 Do we have his comments?

01:25:31.580 Okay, let's hear this from Chuck Todd.

01:25:34.500 We're going to do something that we don't often get to do.

01:25:37.740 Dive in on one topic.

01:25:39.620 It's obviously extraordinarily difficult to do this, as the end of this year has proven in the era of Trump.

01:25:46.060 But we're going to take an in-depth look, regardless of that, at a literally earth-changing subject that doesn't get talked about this thoroughly on television news, at least, climate change.

01:25:55.260 But just as important as what we are going to do this hour is what we're not going to do.

01:26:00.100 We're not going to debate climate change, the existence of it.

01:26:03.480 The earth is getting hotter, and human activity is a major cause.

01:26:06.840 Period.

01:26:07.660 We're not going to give time to climate deniers.

01:26:10.140 The science is settled, even if political opinion is not.

01:26:13.080 And we're not going to confuse weather with climate.

01:26:15.440 A heat wave is no more evidence that climate change exists than a blizzard means that it doesn't, unless the blizzard hits Miami.

01:26:21.580 I will give him the fact that he actually pointed out the heat wave is not evidence of it.

01:26:25.960 Yes, because they don't do that anymore.

01:26:27.860 They don't do that.

01:26:28.580 I mean, Al Gore always confuses weather with climate.

01:26:32.640 And he used to tell us all the time, don't confuse weather with climate.

01:26:37.500 And then they turn around and do it on every single occasion.

01:26:43.040 Like, every time there's a heat wave in the summer, it's climate change.

01:26:46.260 Every time there's a massive storm in the winter with snow and cold, it's climate change.

01:26:52.660 That whole polar vortex thing is always explained away by climate change.

01:26:57.860 Every single time.

01:26:59.400 Yeah.

01:27:00.340 This is an amazing stance that we are not going to have any debate over this.

01:27:08.740 Show me the science that has settled this.

01:27:12.460 First of all, you can't prove this in any way that it is absolutely man-caused.

01:27:21.520 You can't do it.

01:27:22.580 They didn't even claim that it's all man-caused.

01:27:24.320 That's not what the documents even say.

01:27:25.560 I mean, they say it's majority man-caused.

01:27:28.540 So again, let's just say, best case scenario, because this would be the best case scenario,

01:27:32.400 right, left.

01:27:32.920 Like, we all don't want to die from climate change.

01:27:35.300 So theoretically, the best case scenario would be 51% of it is man-made.

01:27:39.980 If it's 51% man-made, we have a totally different issue than what they're talking about.

01:27:44.340 If it's 49% natural, totally different issue than what we're talking about.

01:27:48.720 And they act as if it's definitely 100%, which is not even what the UN is saying.

01:27:53.840 They just go further and further and further down this road.

01:27:58.360 This is a news program, supposedly, that is just telling you there is no debate on this

01:28:03.900 subject.

01:28:04.380 Well, I don't know very many, if any, topics where the debate is just settled and you can't

01:28:12.000 entertain anybody else's opinion.

01:28:13.740 Let's get into this in a second, because I think this is one of the issues that they try

01:28:17.560 to treat it like it's the Holocaust, right?

01:28:18.880 Like, that's an example.

01:28:19.780 If they were doing a show on the Holocaust, they would not say, by the way, it's interesting,

01:28:22.520 maybe nobody died.

01:28:23.940 Like, they're not, I get that point.

01:28:26.580 This is not the same issue.

01:28:28.340 We'll get into that in 60 seconds here on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:32.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:34.280 Let's talk about something real here.

01:28:36.240 You can put off a lot of things in life.

01:28:38.160 You don't have to join a gym.

01:28:39.660 You can clean your gutters, but usually they will rot off your house.

01:28:42.700 But here's another thing you shouldn't put off, and that is getting home security.

01:28:45.760 It's your home.

01:28:46.640 It's your family.

01:28:47.580 It's your stuff.

01:28:48.540 You want to protect it, but there's always something holding you back.

01:28:51.120 And most likely, it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman

01:28:55.420 and being indebted forever.

01:28:56.720 It also could be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour installation window.

01:29:00.840 You don't have time for that.

01:29:02.280 SimpliSafe Home Security has gotten rid of all of those reasons not to get home security.

01:29:31.760 That's SimpliSafeBeck.com.

01:29:45.240 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

01:29:48.500 Clearly, we need to be educated on this climate situation because it's catastrophic and there's no debate.

01:29:55.660 The science is in.

01:29:57.080 It's settled.

01:29:57.980 There's consensus.

01:29:59.120 You hear all these catchphrases.

01:30:00.640 Remember the consensus thing?

01:30:02.280 It's totally made up.

01:30:03.740 They just totally started.

01:30:04.980 One person said there's consensus and everybody else just started saying it, too.

01:30:10.440 There actually is no evidence that there's consent.

01:30:13.560 In fact, there's a lot of evidence to the contrary, like 37,000 scientists and meteorologists that have signed off on it's not catastrophic.

01:30:22.340 And it might be happening, but there's nothing we can do about it.

01:30:26.300 Right.

01:30:26.400 Or, you know, whatever degree of doubt you have.

01:30:30.720 There's about 37,000 people who disagree with this who are professionals in the field.

01:30:36.520 That's why it's very specifically worded.

01:30:39.600 I mean, there is a pretty decent scientific consensus, if you want to say that, on the idea that in the past, it has warmed about 0.9 degrees over the past century.

01:30:49.340 Now, again, there's a huge margin of error built into that figure, but they do believe it's warmed.

01:30:55.100 Most scientists would agree on that.

01:30:57.160 Most scientists think that there's some level of input that humanity is having on that, but how do they quantify that?

01:31:03.300 And that's a huge part of the debate.

01:31:04.580 The debate only comes when you get to this idea of, all right, look, A, are we as human beings really going to be able to solve an issue like that?

01:31:12.460 B, how do we do it?

01:31:13.540 C, can we afford to do it?

01:31:14.940 D, should we prioritize it over all these other things occurring right now?

01:31:18.440 The person being slaughtered in the Middle East, do they get less attention from this 0.9 degree Celsius temperature rise over a century and maybe another degree in the future?

01:31:30.720 Do we really sit back and say, well, let's not worry about that person.

01:31:33.840 Let's not worry about the person dying of malaria in Africa.

01:31:36.600 Let's worry about the theoretical increase of some outflow of climate change.

01:31:46.420 And you also have to ignore the fact it's happened before, over and over and over and over and over again.

01:31:53.000 The earth warms and then it cools and then it warms and then it cools.

01:31:57.480 I mean, the evidence of the palm trees in the Arctic is pretty good evidence that things were different at the Arctic at one point in time.

01:32:06.960 Yeah, it does change.

01:32:08.240 It does.

01:32:08.700 It does change.

01:32:38.680 They do that, right?

01:32:39.900 And like when you see this, when you have a lot of reporting on food and health in the media, oh, this thing causes cancer.

01:32:46.640 This thing doesn't cause cancer.

01:32:49.100 Butter is good for you.

01:32:50.180 Now butter is bad for you.

01:32:51.160 That feeling that you have with science is not really a problem with science.

01:32:54.960 That is a problem with the reporting on science.

01:32:57.060 And almost all of those reports, if you've seen advice on how to eat from some supposed scientific study and it's on like Pinterest, almost definitely what you've seen is one of the lowest level of studies, observational studies, anecdotal studies, case reports.

01:33:17.720 And maybe it goes up to animal lab in vitro type studies, these low level things like where they'll feed a rat 900,000 pounds of salt and it develops cancer.

01:33:31.500 And you're like, oh, salt causes cancer.

01:33:32.980 Well, no, that's like they don't eat that much.

01:33:36.480 There's a million reasons why that's insane.

01:33:38.460 Not to mention rats aren't people.

01:33:40.060 Like there's a certain type of rat that is used in experiments all the time that is very susceptible to bladder cancer in almost every circumstance.

01:33:49.680 So if you give these guys like anything, they get bladder cancer a lot.

01:33:53.400 It's a specific type of rat and they use it all the time in these trials.

01:33:56.800 And this one I would blame on the scientists at some level in that they use this rat knowing that it's susceptible to bladder cancer.

01:34:03.460 So they get increases in bladder cancer all the time.

01:34:06.080 Now, later on, when they follow up with human beings on these same studies, they all get disproven.

01:34:10.940 You know, you all find out in the end, okay, yeah, you can have salt.

01:34:14.000 Oh, okay, yeah, you can have this.

01:34:15.340 You can have that.

01:34:16.600 And that is what happens with global warming.

01:34:19.200 There's no way to do a high quality study on it because you don't have these planets.

01:34:22.820 And what they say is, well, of course we can't do these high quality studies on it.

01:34:26.400 We don't have a million planets.

01:34:27.320 So what we do is make computer models that simulate the planet.

01:34:30.180 But that is you trying to figure out how to simulate the entire planet.

01:34:35.420 That is really freaking hard to do.

01:34:37.280 And it's not my problem that you can't do the high quality scientific studies that are demanded to get consensus on an issue.

01:34:44.720 It's not my problem.

01:34:45.900 They also have admitted multiple times lately.

01:34:49.100 They didn't even understand how the planet works.

01:34:51.420 So how are you inputting the right numbers so that the models can spit out the right information?

01:34:56.180 When you didn't so much as know this a few years ago.

01:34:59.400 Carbon emissions also trap heat.

01:35:01.740 Today's report shows oceans have absorbed 90% of that heat, raising ocean temperatures by half a degree.

01:35:08.420 Had all that heat gone into the atmosphere, air temperatures could have risen by more than 200 degrees.

01:35:14.320 So it's a really good thing the earth works the way it does.

01:35:18.980 Yeah.

01:35:19.300 But surprising to me that you didn't know it worked that way.

01:35:22.220 Right.

01:35:22.340 This was their excuse for why it hasn't warmed more.

01:35:24.480 Hey, we didn't know the ocean was going to absorb 90% of it.

01:35:28.200 Otherwise, we'd be 200 degrees hotter.

01:35:30.840 And I'm not going to be the person who's going to say, hey, idiots, you should have known.

01:35:34.160 But you should have known if you're going to claim consensus.

01:35:36.620 Right.

01:35:36.780 Right.

01:35:36.920 Like the most, the easiest equivalent to the climate is the human body.

01:35:42.380 Human body is a massively complicated system.

01:35:45.060 There are certain things we know about it, but a lot of things we don't.

01:35:47.920 Right.

01:35:48.160 Like there's cancer and mental illness.

01:35:50.820 And think of all the things we can't cure.

01:35:52.940 Right.

01:35:53.580 We do have billions of people who do all different lifestyles to see how they will react to certain

01:35:58.400 things.

01:35:58.600 And we still don't have that one figured out.

01:36:00.560 You think they have the climate figured out like this?

01:36:02.840 Like they claim to?

01:36:03.860 Nope.

01:36:04.200 They don't.

01:36:04.920 They don't.

01:36:05.840 And the best cure for this is innovation, learning what the problems are and having capitalism

01:36:10.920 help solve them.

01:36:12.060 That's what's helped all this time and made society flourish in this period of warming.

01:36:17.920 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK.

01:36:24.160 It was a great, great vacation.

01:36:26.060 It was a great Christmas and New Year's season right up until Friday morning.

01:36:31.440 I thought when I first got a text, Jeffy just had a heart attack.

01:36:37.200 I'm like, wait, what?

01:36:39.700 I mean, pretty nerve shattering and pretty scary.

01:36:47.920 And so he wound up in the hospital and in true Jeffy fashion was hassling the nurses

01:36:59.100 every time they came in.

01:37:00.700 He was hassling the EMTs when they were working on him as he's having a fairly major heart attack.

01:37:07.580 But fortunately, he pulled through pretty well.

01:37:13.380 And by Friday afternoon, he's sitting up at a chair next to his bed at the hospital.

01:37:17.740 Amazing.

01:37:18.180 Just incredible.

01:37:18.760 So I think that's a real tribute to, first of all, modern medical science and the chances

01:37:27.940 that you have if you have a heart attack and you make it to the hospital, there's a pretty

01:37:31.820 good chance they can save you.

01:37:33.820 Which is incredible.

01:37:34.340 That was not always the case.

01:37:35.360 Right.

01:37:35.620 We've talked about this before with the issue of the rates of people dying by disease, cancers,

01:37:41.980 you know, heart disease, all of these things have dropped dramatically in the last couple

01:37:45.720 of decades.

01:37:46.520 We've made massive improvements just because, you know, the technology has improved and we

01:37:51.640 made major leaps.

01:37:52.680 We don't necessarily like recognize it, but that really was a stark example with Jeffy.

01:37:58.080 You know, even though our, you know, health care in this country is so pathetic and rates

01:38:05.200 behind Botswana.

01:38:07.520 Right.

01:38:07.960 It's like, I don't think that's true, guys.

01:38:10.300 I don't think it's true.

01:38:11.280 Yeah, I don't.

01:38:12.020 I don't know.

01:38:12.620 I mean, I'm not saying it's a perfect system.

01:38:14.320 There's lots of issues with it and cost can be a problem at times.

01:38:18.080 But I mean, in reality, like, thank God we live here.

01:38:21.180 Thank God we have the access to the system that we have.

01:38:25.200 And thank God they haven't screwed it up yet.

01:38:27.400 And they're trying.

01:38:28.320 They're doing everything they can to screw it up.

01:38:30.180 Yeah.

01:38:30.600 But thank God so far they've been unsuccessful.

01:38:32.860 And we got somebody on the phone now who can actually attest to all of this.

01:38:36.360 And, hey, Jeffy.

01:38:39.300 I can attest to, yes, the health care, at least the help, you know, like the ambulance workers

01:38:47.140 and the fire rescue guys.

01:38:48.780 While I was, I may have made some comments to them that they didn't appreciate.

01:38:52.960 They were great.

01:38:55.500 And had it not been for, you know, my wife calling and them getting here saying, yes,

01:39:00.540 you're having a heart attack.

01:39:01.700 And, yes, we're taking you to the hospital right now.

01:39:05.980 There'd be no more me.

01:39:07.400 There's no question about that.

01:39:08.580 Which is really amazing to think of that we could have lost you.

01:39:13.180 But you mentioned something interesting that your wife did go ahead and call 9-1-1, which

01:39:19.420 you told her not to do.

01:39:21.420 Well, I did.

01:39:23.920 But really, that last time was more of a no, but yes, call and get them here now.

01:39:30.860 So she was supposed to read between the lines then.

01:39:33.320 Yeah.

01:39:33.800 Yeah.

01:39:33.980 And she did.

01:39:34.820 Yeah, she did.

01:39:35.340 It's a great time for subtlety, Jeffy.

01:39:37.160 Yeah, she did.

01:39:37.740 Yeah, she did.

01:39:38.000 It was a great time because, you know, really, I know, you know, you talk about the health

01:39:42.500 care, but, you know, preventative care probably would have been a smart thing there, too.

01:39:46.720 What?

01:39:47.240 For a couple.

01:39:47.940 You think?

01:39:48.860 I know.

01:39:49.360 I know.

01:39:50.340 A couple of days prior to the heart attack that didn't go away, you know, I woke up with

01:39:55.680 chest pain and I was like, oh, I'll be fine.

01:39:58.360 And it went away and it'll be okay.

01:40:01.380 Wow.

01:40:01.740 And, you know, I probably, probably should have said something to someone.

01:40:06.060 Maybe.

01:40:06.700 Probably.

01:40:07.400 Should I have to inject?

01:40:08.580 Since you've been injecting lard directly into your veins for years.

01:40:13.860 Apparently what happens when you do that, the left side of your heart just completely

01:40:19.300 shuts down.

01:40:20.040 Yeah, that's not a good idea.

01:40:21.900 That was really scary.

01:40:23.200 I saw the picture of it completely blocked.

01:40:27.700 I mean, that's really scary looking.

01:40:30.420 It was 100%, right?

01:40:32.880 And one of the arteries, 100% blockage.

01:40:35.300 The left side, which apparently is nicknamed the Widowmaker, for good reason, was completely

01:40:42.100 blocked.

01:40:43.040 And the doctors have told me that, you know, if I didn't come when I did, that would have

01:40:47.560 been it.

01:40:48.160 I wouldn't have made it.

01:40:49.480 Wow.

01:40:49.900 Most of the time, most of the time, most of the time, people don't make it in time.

01:40:55.280 Which was...

01:40:55.500 It's really chilling.

01:40:56.700 That sure is.

01:40:58.280 It sure is.

01:40:59.140 Kind of makes your ears perk up and think, okay, maybe I should listen to what they tell

01:41:04.700 me now.

01:41:06.000 And hopefully you're doing that.

01:41:07.680 It's probably not a good idea to inject the lard directly into your lard.

01:41:14.000 Or the tars and nicotines directly into your lungs.

01:41:18.520 Because that can constrict the arteries and cause a problem.

01:41:23.780 They are not a fan of that.

01:41:24.860 The doctors in the hospitals are not a fan of the nicotine input at all.

01:41:29.520 That was their big case.

01:41:31.320 But you know, the outpouring from our listeners and, of course, co-workers was overwhelming.

01:41:40.400 I mean, really, thank you all.

01:41:42.360 It was really overwhelming.

01:41:44.000 And it meant so much.

01:41:45.580 And, hey, it worked.

01:41:46.580 Your prayers and well-wishes and thoughts worked.

01:41:48.820 Yeah, by the way.

01:41:49.840 I survived.

01:41:50.820 I know.

01:41:52.560 It's an interesting dynamic you have going on, Jeffy.

01:41:54.720 Because the outpouring was unbelievable.

01:41:57.720 And I cannot remember ever seeing anything like it.

01:42:00.180 I mean, for whatever reason, this audience loves Jeffy.

01:42:04.240 And I've never been able to put a finger on as to why.

01:42:07.800 But they love it.

01:42:08.540 But it was funny to see people who were like, oh, my gosh.

01:42:11.400 Like, this is the, you know, I can't believe this.

01:42:14.020 We're praying for you, Jeffy.

01:42:15.140 And then you look at the Twitter handle.

01:42:16.520 It's like, Jeffy is fat.

01:42:17.940 You're just like, I don't know.

01:42:19.500 Can you make that?

01:42:22.180 Your Twitter name is Jeffy is fat.

01:42:24.420 You're not allowed to.

01:42:25.580 That's fantastic.

01:42:29.240 But, I mean, it really was.

01:42:30.600 I mean, honestly, like, you know, people really, like, really care.

01:42:36.520 And it's cool.

01:42:37.700 Every once in a while you see that, you know.

01:42:38.920 Every once in a while you do, although you find out just really they don't, really.

01:42:43.360 Because in the hospital, you figure you have to stay there.

01:42:47.660 And they take care of you.

01:42:49.140 How about the third day, they're like, you're done.

01:42:51.000 Get out.

01:42:52.120 That's true.

01:42:52.880 And I actually took that as a real sign of, I was amazed by just, like, the quality of our health care system in a weird way, Jeffy.

01:43:02.380 Because I saw you yesterday, was it, and you were up and about.

01:43:06.200 And they said to you, look, you know, you can go back to work whenever you feel okay.

01:43:11.140 Like, you're basically not overly restricted.

01:43:13.560 It's amazing.

01:43:14.520 No.

01:43:15.120 I mean, obviously, I have to go see, you know, a heart doc now and get his direct input.

01:43:21.180 But because the guy that was on call for the surgery, who, you know, just an uncalled heart surgeon.

01:43:28.820 Amazing.

01:43:29.580 You know, when I left the house here, apparently I got worse on my way to the hospital.

01:43:34.680 So I bypassed everything when I went to the hospital.

01:43:38.360 I went right into the surgery.

01:43:41.380 And I just remember being, hey, we're going to go take you right into surgery.

01:43:46.400 And that was it.

01:43:47.900 And these guys are incredible.

01:43:49.660 I mean, really.

01:43:51.180 Pat talked about me sitting up.

01:43:53.700 And there's a, I have some more stories about one of the reasons I was sitting up was because of the great bed that they have there.

01:43:59.600 But the other reason is that, you know, really, it was, I was, I was okay.

01:44:04.160 I mean, my chest really hurt, obviously.

01:44:05.980 And, you know, my lungs because of the surgery.

01:44:08.580 But, I mean, it's, I was okay.

01:44:11.120 And now, you know, I'm just, I'm trying to get my energy back and be okay.

01:44:16.020 But as far as hurting and aching and not being able to get up in the day, that's all gone.

01:44:23.940 It's amazing.

01:44:25.400 Now, Jeffy, I wanted to ask you, did you open up the Christmas present I bought for you?

01:44:33.920 I did.

01:44:34.600 I thought I had posted it, but it hadn't been posted yet.

01:44:37.420 So I did open up your Christmas.

01:44:38.440 Thank you very much.

01:44:40.080 It meant a lot.

01:44:41.140 It meant a lot to me that you would give me recalled lettuce.

01:44:46.020 Wow, that is thoughtful.

01:44:49.260 A giant bag of romaine all wrapped up in pretty Christmas.

01:44:52.440 That is really a thoughtful gift.

01:44:55.020 I mean, I guess, I guess in today's world, if you've got recalled lettuce in your freezer and you don't know what to do with it, give it to the fat neighbor.

01:45:03.200 I guess that's the plan.

01:45:04.740 I don't know.

01:45:06.500 I thought you'd appreciate it, Jeffy.

01:45:08.320 I don't know.

01:45:08.900 It meant a lot.

01:45:10.400 It meant a lot.

01:45:10.840 Well, we, you know, we miss you.

01:45:13.820 And you, of course, can't wait for you to come back.

01:45:16.080 But don't, you know, your typical Jeffy's like, I think I might come in on Wednesday.

01:45:20.160 And I'm like, no, we're not accepting you on Wednesday.

01:45:23.560 Save by at least a few days.

01:45:25.260 The Chew and the Fat, the podcast with Jeff Fisher will come back.

01:45:28.640 It's waiting for you when you come back.

01:45:31.000 But please don't rush back.

01:45:32.220 I can't deal with another one of these things.

01:45:34.400 I can't deal with it.

01:45:35.640 Yeah, that was too scary.

01:45:36.600 Too much to do here, Jeffy.

01:45:37.740 Too much work to do.

01:45:38.900 But mostly, it really was scary.

01:45:41.500 And again, thank you to the outpouring from, you know, the listeners and the fans and the

01:45:45.740 co-workers.

01:45:46.420 I mean, it truly was overwhelming.

01:45:48.820 It means a lot to myself and my family, for sure.

01:45:52.100 Have you tweeted out the picture of the EMT trying to push you up the hill yet?

01:45:58.260 I'm glad you brought that up.

01:46:01.680 No, I have not.

01:46:03.220 I thought, I just thought that was, you know, going to stay in-house.

01:46:06.440 But I guess not.

01:46:07.180 No.

01:46:07.520 Apparently, apparently, they left the other EMTs.

01:46:14.380 They were having me take me out of the house.

01:46:17.240 They left one guy by himself trying to hold me up against the ambulance.

01:46:25.280 We live on a little bit of a hill.

01:46:26.920 And he was apparently still, they don't make EMTs as strong as they used to, I guess.

01:46:33.380 Apparently not.

01:46:34.460 Apparently not.

01:46:35.620 He was really struggling trying to hold me up against the, you know, think of, you laugh

01:46:40.160 about that.

01:46:40.780 And obviously, we have.

01:46:42.860 But had he not been able to hold me, that's a whole other story.

01:46:48.680 Yeah.

01:46:49.060 Because you would have been rolling down the hill.

01:46:50.560 You'd still be going.

01:46:51.360 There's definitely a viral video of Jeffy rolling out from the back of an ambulance with a gown

01:46:59.560 flapping in the wind that would have broken the internet.

01:47:03.920 It definitely would have broken the internet.

01:47:06.620 But yeah, I mean, it was, I'm sure that he all of a sudden realized, guys, there's a 100 pound guy here.

01:47:14.860 You know what?

01:47:16.660 All right.

01:47:17.220 And of course, my wife, loving me so much, decided, hey, I'll take a picture.

01:47:21.240 Yeah.

01:47:21.600 I did wonder how he had a picture.

01:47:23.860 I mean, she pretty much saved your life, so it's hard to be critical.

01:47:26.480 But the fact that she was documenting your loading into the ambulance on social media was questionable.

01:47:32.020 And trust me, there's some pictures that will not ever get posted.

01:47:37.200 Probably to all of our benefit, I think, on that one, Jeff.

01:47:39.660 All right.

01:47:40.260 We're really grateful that you're still around.

01:47:43.200 Thank you.

01:47:43.560 I love you.

01:47:44.080 You know that.

01:47:44.520 We love you, man.

01:47:45.220 We love you, but we're not going to admit it here on the air.

01:47:46.860 Yeah.

01:47:47.660 Okay.

01:47:48.220 Okay.

01:47:48.540 All right.

01:47:48.820 Except for just that once for me.

01:47:50.380 Just that once.

01:47:50.520 And then that's it.

01:47:51.300 That's it.

01:47:52.140 All right.

01:47:52.560 Jeffy, continue to recover and don't push it.

01:47:55.760 All right?

01:47:56.900 See you soon.

01:47:57.580 All right.

01:47:57.960 See you.

01:47:58.940 888-933-93.

01:48:00.980 Or 888-727-BECK.

01:48:02.400 Thank you.

01:48:02.880 One of the two numbers would be great.

01:48:03.620 Unless you want to call me tomorrow on Pat Gray Unleashed, that would be the number to call.

01:48:07.960 But 727-BECK is the number here.

01:48:10.360 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

01:48:19.920 888-727-BECK.

01:48:23.680 Hey, did you notice that Netflix is claiming 45 million people watched their Sandra Bullock movie called, is it Birdcage?

01:48:32.460 Birdcage.

01:48:33.360 Birdbox.

01:48:33.940 Birdbox.

01:48:34.540 That's right.

01:48:34.900 Birdcage.

01:48:35.620 It's a different movie.

01:48:37.060 Right.

01:48:37.740 Remember that Nathan Lane?

01:48:38.880 Oh, yeah.

01:48:39.800 Yeah.

01:48:40.060 Yeah.

01:48:40.360 The Birdcage.

01:48:41.040 Wasn't that a big movie back in the day?

01:48:42.120 Yeah, I think it was.

01:48:43.000 It's not that movie.

01:48:44.060 No.

01:48:44.320 That would be a really big announcement.

01:48:45.780 They're like, hey, by the way, 45 million random people just watched The Birdcage this weekend.

01:48:50.120 We don't even know why.

01:48:51.000 It's been out for 15 years.

01:48:53.900 Yeah, no, it's a huge number.

01:48:55.060 I mean, it's hard.

01:48:55.280 Have you seen it?

01:48:56.020 I have not.

01:48:57.120 I haven't either.

01:48:57.580 It's hard really to understand what it means.

01:48:59.600 I mean, first of all, it's a self-reported number.

01:49:01.500 And they said it's accounts.

01:49:03.620 So you can have two or three or four or five different accounts in a household.

01:49:07.540 So I don't know if that matters, but.

01:49:09.340 Right.

01:49:09.640 But I mean.

01:49:11.140 That's still a lot of people.

01:49:12.620 If it's 45 minute accounts also, though, you could have three people watching it at the

01:49:15.360 same time on one account.

01:49:16.480 So it could be even more than 45 million people.

01:49:18.720 And they say.

01:49:19.360 Very true.

01:49:19.980 The stat is at least 70% of the movie was watched.

01:49:24.060 So that's a legitimate stat for a view.

01:49:26.100 Right.

01:49:26.200 Like, it's not like some, you know, they rolled a minute of the trailer and then they count

01:49:29.200 it as a view.

01:49:29.960 That's huge.

01:49:30.920 That's huge.

01:49:31.380 If it's true, which again, it's an internal number.

01:49:34.480 So, you know, grain of salt, obviously.

01:49:36.960 And they chose to release it knowing it was really good.

01:49:39.760 Yeah.

01:49:39.940 But if it's true, it is an amazing thing.

01:49:42.720 And it shows that they no longer, they don't need anybody.

01:49:46.260 I mean, Netflix is just, they just put.

01:49:47.820 They really don't.

01:49:48.460 The reason why, they didn't even promote it.

01:49:49.940 They didn't run ads for it.

01:49:51.040 They just put it on their homepage.

01:49:52.740 And if, when you land your landing page, you saw that and you're like, oh, wow.

01:49:55.440 Send your book has a new movie only on Netflix.

01:49:56.900 Let's watch it.

01:49:57.400 And 40, it seems so high to me, but 45 million people apparently decided to do that.

01:50:02.360 I mean, I think this is going to happen more and more often because Netflix is spending

01:50:07.080 so much on their original content, including, you know, what would normally have been major

01:50:12.960 motion picture releases.

01:50:14.180 Yep.

01:50:14.660 This would have been a movie that was in theaters that you'd have to go to.

01:50:18.500 And now it's basically, well, free with your subscription in your own home.

01:50:24.020 It's a pretty good deal.

01:50:24.820 And they're getting huge stars to do this.

01:50:26.580 They got Julia Roberts on one of their series.

01:50:28.560 Now they have Sandra Bullock.

01:50:30.440 I mean, people are coming out of the woodwork and doing really incredible work for Netflix.

01:50:36.120 And it really is one of those things that is, there's no negative to it.

01:50:40.060 Now it's like the place you want to go.

01:50:42.140 You know, remember when Kevin Spacey took House of Cards, everyone's like, why the hell

01:50:46.280 is Kevin Spacey?

01:50:47.100 It's like, wow, is he washed up now?

01:50:48.600 Right.

01:50:48.800 It was like, and shocking that wound up playing out a little bit that way eventually.

01:50:53.860 But I mean, you know, he basically built that entire company with that.

01:50:56.580 That series at the beginning.

01:50:57.500 Really did.

01:50:58.060 And, you know, it felt like, why would he do that?

01:51:01.540 He's going to a streaming service to do a series?

01:51:04.060 It just, it made no sense.

01:51:05.220 It's amazing to me that Netflix is what it is.

01:51:07.700 When it started out as this little company, that's kind of an alternative to blockbuster

01:51:12.060 video.

01:51:12.600 Yeah.

01:51:12.880 They'll mail me the DVD.

01:51:14.180 It'll come in my mail and it's a little more convenient, but it takes a day or two to

01:51:18.500 get here.

01:51:19.560 And now to this, where they're doing all this original content.

01:51:23.020 It's amazing.

01:51:23.540 And one of the craziest stories of all time in the business world is that Reed Hastings,

01:51:29.800 the CEO of Netflix, early on, in a very tough time, went to blockbuster and tried to sell

01:51:35.620 it to blockbuster for like $80 million.

01:51:38.260 Wow.

01:51:38.740 And they turned it down.

01:51:41.400 Oopsies.

01:51:42.140 Oopsies is a correct term.

01:51:44.560 Oh no.

01:51:45.920 Oh golly.

01:51:46.640 Oh no.

01:51:47.960 Wow.

01:51:48.400 Amazing.

01:51:48.980 They have this new choose your own adventure thing they did with Black Mirror as well.

01:51:52.320 Have you heard this?

01:51:52.960 No.

01:51:53.420 Oh my, it looks incredible.

01:51:54.600 Oh yeah, where you've got separate endings?

01:51:56.520 Yeah, you're choosing what the character does throughout the movie.

01:51:59.700 That's incredible.

01:52:00.620 It's really innovative stuff.

01:52:07.520 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:52:14.560 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
