Summary
Things fall in and out of fashion. That's true in politics too. Things that were not popular a couple of months ago have become fashionable again. For example, opposing Supreme Court nominees has become fashionable once again, and so has the Constitution.

Get a Casper mattress and get a great night's sleep.
00:00:10.140
Go to casper.com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.
00:00:48.720
So today we're going to start by talking about things that are fashionable once again.
00:00:53.940
I mean, you know, sometimes bell-bottoms or wide-bottom jeans or flared jeans at the bottom,
00:00:58.500
you know, they're not popular, then they become popular again.
00:01:04.140
because there's a lot of things that have just become fashionable again
00:01:07.420
that just a couple of months ago weren't very fashionable.
00:01:11.420
For example, something that has now become fashionable again.
00:01:21.640
has said that he and the other Democrats in the Senate
00:01:23.620
are actually going to not meet with Neil Gorsuch.
00:01:27.960
They're not even going to meet with him to consider him as a Supreme Court justice.
00:01:34.000
They're not even going to have the common courtesy to say,
00:01:37.280
sit down in my office and let's chat a little bit.
00:01:42.300
But see, it was Chuck Schumer and other people just a couple of months ago
00:01:46.540
how dare those Republicans not have hearings on this?
00:01:50.840
So apparently, now obstructing Supreme Court nominees
00:01:56.600
Now, at the time, I said, yeah, they should have had hearings.
00:02:02.040
The Republicans absolutely, 100%, as directed by the Constitution,
00:02:13.880
and then advise the president and then confirm or not.
00:02:20.200
The president nominates somebody, you start the process and do it.
00:02:23.500
And if you don't think that person is right, then Mitch McConnell and others,
00:02:27.760
the other Republicans there, they should have had the testicular fortitude to stand up
00:02:31.680
and say, we're not voting for this guy and he's not going to be a Supreme Court justice.
00:02:35.640
But they were playing the game and they didn't want to be on record as saying no to this guy
00:02:42.780
It was easier for them to just kind of keep brushing it off,
00:02:46.500
rolling the dice to see who's going to get elected.
00:02:48.820
And although Trump got elected and although Trump did the right thing by picking Neil Gorsuch,
00:02:54.000
absolutely good pick, Hillary Clinton could be president right now.
00:03:02.960
And Chuck Schumer is wrong not to sit down with Neil Gorsuch.
00:03:08.180
But it's funny how these things have become fashionable again.
00:03:13.580
I'm happy that Hillary's not president and I'm happy we don't have Merrick Garland
00:03:18.340
and I'm happy that it's Donald Trump picking Neil Gorsuch.
00:03:25.780
And if you're not standing up and saying it was wrong, then you're part of the problem.
00:03:30.580
We've got to both simultaneously fight for our values, our individual desires,
00:03:37.440
the way we live our lives, the things we think are right, our moral compass.
00:03:42.640
But we also have to be fighting for the structure that allows us to have a moral compass
00:03:52.740
And people like Chuck Schumer are not helping that.
00:03:55.860
Suddenly, the Constitution has become fashionable again.
00:03:59.300
Have you seen the nutty Hollywood types out there talking about the Constitution?
00:04:06.020
Michael Moore, Deborah Messing, and others out there protesting with their pussy hats on
00:04:10.120
saying, it's the Constitution and the Electoral College.
00:04:19.600
Because for the last eight years, you folks didn't know it existed at all.
00:04:23.060
It was like for eight years, they knew about the Constitution.
00:04:26.940
And then it got slid into a drawer when Obama got elected.
00:04:36.600
And then they found it the day after the election.
00:04:39.720
What is this yellow, crinkly piece of paper that a bunch of old white guys signed?
00:04:45.040
They really had something to this whole structure of government and limited government.
00:04:48.880
Which, by the way, limited government has now become fashionable with these people.
00:04:54.580
And protesting your First Amendment rights has become fashionable once again with people
00:04:59.720
on the left and the Democrats and people like Chuck Schumer and the Hollywood types.
00:05:06.820
Because for the last eight years, when I marched on D.C. with the Tea Party, when I was there
00:05:13.180
for the 9-12 march, when I attended tea parties all across America, when you were out there,
00:05:18.880
they called you teabaggers, a derogatory term with a sexual reference.
00:05:23.660
They looked at you in your knickers and your tri-corner hat and made fun of you and said,
00:05:32.660
Because if you don't, you're not only an obstructionist, you're also a racist.
00:05:38.460
But now, magically, overnight, protesting has become fashionable again.
00:05:59.140
And suggestions that maybe we murder the president.
00:06:06.400
Well, I say about murdering the president because Sarah Silverman.
00:06:10.540
Yeah, you probably don't know her because she doesn't have that successful of a career.
00:06:20.680
About the most successful thing she's done is Jimmy Kimmel.
00:06:27.460
Sarah Silverman, actress, picture me making the air quotes and comedian, picture me making the air quotes.
00:06:33.000
Tweeted out that, in all caps, screaming, losing her mind, that the military needs a coup to take over and, I guess, kill Donald Trump.
00:06:51.060
Yeah, all of this stuff, jokes about murdering the president, all fashionable again.
00:06:56.740
Then you also have things like personal freedoms become fashionable again.
00:07:02.260
Over the past eight years or so, actually, over the past 16 years or so, when I've said things like, huh, you know, the Patriot Act, NSA spying on Americans, my ability to not be spied on by the IRS, the government staying out of my life, not telling me how to raise my children, not forcing me to make a cake for gay weddings.
00:07:19.560
And just go down the list, all of the things that I say, hey, that's about personal freedom and my choice, and I should be able to do this.
00:07:30.400
But now, magically, overnight, it's become fashionable once again to have those personal freedoms.
00:07:37.740
Maybe not in the exact same ways, but personal freedoms are certainly fashionable again.
00:07:41.940
To you, snowflakes out there that have been losing your minds, frustrated, outraged at Donald Trump, I mean, just melting down on social media, marching, you have only yourselves to blame.
00:08:01.900
You may say he's not your president, which, if you're a legal American citizen, I got news, he's your president.
00:08:07.540
You may not like him, but it's not the electoral college.
00:08:25.060
You are to blame for Donald Trump if you don't like him.
00:08:28.580
Because by standing against me and some of the very things that you are fighting for now, when I said them over the last eight years,
00:08:39.660
Now, I am certainly culpable in that discontent as well.
00:08:47.000
Because you didn't stand with me on common ground on things like the Constitution and personal freedoms.
00:08:51.760
Because apparently you, for the last eight years, thought like Whoopi Goldberg thinks that if you say constitutionalist,
00:08:59.040
that you mean, we go back to the original day one Constitution where black people aren't a full human being.
00:09:10.440
But you objected to me saying things like, I should be able to live my life as I see fit and not forced to take part in your crazy ideas.
00:09:20.840
Forcing me to go to meetings and determine if I am somehow a racist.
00:09:26.260
Forcing me to take part in certain services and organizations.
00:09:29.960
Forcing me to take part in commerce to buy health care.
00:09:32.320
When I said, this is not the responsibility of government and I should have personal freedoms.
00:09:45.820
So at least have the common decency to recognize that and stop melting down.
00:10:00.400
Because you've also told us for decades that you care more than I do.
00:10:10.820
Were you caring more the other night in Berkeley?
00:10:13.400
When you pulled a guy out of the car and beat the hell out of him?
00:10:18.900
Did you care more in the streets of D.C. on Inauguration Day?
00:10:21.780
When you are on K Street throwing rocks at police officers and bricks trying to injure them?
00:10:32.320
And your backlash now, your protests, are laughable.
00:10:35.680
Now, I support, unlike you, your right to protest as long as it's not violent, as long as you're not breaking other laws.
00:10:56.220
I vote on track record, his track record questionable and limited.
00:11:01.080
I like some of his ideas, but I just vote on track record.
00:11:04.120
Since he's been in office, I like most of what he's done.
00:11:06.800
He's done what mainly he said he was going to do.
00:11:15.500
You stood against Donald Trump and everything on the right, you precious little snowflakes, because you were so upset.
00:11:33.200
He's doing a lot of what I would hope a president would do.
00:11:40.940
And all you had to do was recognize the thing that I've been saying, and Glenn, and so many others for so long.
00:11:47.300
If you respect my rights to make decisions for me and my family, then I'll respect yours.
00:12:05.080
Not only wanting a limited government, but wanting to limit presidential powers.
00:12:14.560
And wouldn't you love an easy, fail-proof way to look like a pro?
00:12:32.200
I'd rather just, huh, wouldn't it be nice if I did that for her?
00:12:35.740
But unfortunately, women see it different, and this is expected of us.
00:12:41.160
This year, pro-flowers is making it easier than ever by taking all of the guesswork out of it.
00:12:46.720
On top of their already low prices, right now, you can get a dozen red roses with a free glass vase for just $24.99 plus shipping and handling.
00:12:55.960
Have you checked the stuff down in the corner when you're driving down the road?
00:12:58.740
And they're like, hey, get a dozen roses for $89.
00:13:08.500

00:13:15.760
Pick up your flowers and then check out in just, or pick your flowers and then just check out in two minutes.
00:13:23.780
I've used pro-flowers for years because I originally heard Glenn talk about it.
00:13:28.100
I think probably five, six years I've used them for multiple holidays, both my mom, my wife, other people.
00:13:36.700
And one time I had a minor problem where an order was not exact, and they took care of it right away.
00:13:46.660
Make sure to use the promo code GLENN, G-L-E-N-N.
00:14:07.300
The key to having a great day starts with having a great night's sleep, and I know because I have a Casper mattress.
00:14:13.640
The Casper mattress was invented with two high-tech foams that give you all of the support that you need
00:14:19.840
and guarantee that you get the best night's sleep ever.
00:14:22.520
Time Magazine named Casper mattress one of the best inventions of 2015.
00:14:26.720
Casper ships for free in a box so small you won't believe it holds the actual mattress,
00:14:31.480
making it simple to get from your front door to your bedroom.
00:14:36.840
They'll come and pick it up if you don't love it as much as I love mine.
00:14:42.720
Once you try it, you're never going to want to sleep on anything else.
00:14:46.340
Having a great day by having a great night's sleep.
00:14:53.400
$50 off the purchase of your mattress at Casper.com slash Glenn.
00:15:10.500
I'm Doc Thompson in for Glenn today because apparently yesterday,
00:15:13.740
towards the end of his program when he was in Los Angeles, he suddenly got sick.
00:15:21.900
But most of the staff around here, like all the camera crew and that, they're all like,
00:15:26.340
yeah, this guy's just punking out for the long weekend.
00:15:29.460
I mean, I'm not going to call him out as individuals,
00:15:31.020
but they all question whether or not Glenn was really sick.
00:15:33.260
And Cal, who spins the dials, radio style for us, I know you were calling out Glenn saying,
00:15:43.140
Our fearless leader is allowed to have some time.
00:15:49.140
But I mean, when you called him wussy and wimp, I was like, wow, that's really brave of you.
00:15:55.460
My words said that, you know, he deserves time off.
00:16:04.620
Hey, if you want to join the program, you can tweet at us with the hashtag what I learned
00:16:08.080
today and we'll share some of those on the air or dial 888-727-BECK and we'll get some
00:16:12.980
calls coming up on how things that didn't used to be fashionable just a couple of weeks
00:16:23.380
Cal, who do we have checking in on the Twitter today?
00:16:27.340
Baldwin, Jen says, Doc Thompson, Joe, what I learned today.
00:16:31.340
Cal is an, hold it, hold it, hold it right there.
00:16:35.160
Glenn told us just the other day we shouldn't say evil anymore unless it's truly evil.
00:16:41.400
Because he said we should just call out wrong, wrong, not so good genius.
00:16:52.840
Now that I think about it, I don't know if you use the word genius either.
00:16:58.380
Many, many internet IQ tests online tell me that I'm...
00:17:05.560
Do any of those tell anybody that they're adult?
00:17:08.500
I feel like those are like the equivalent of talking to the little soothsayers and the
00:17:16.580
I feel that they're very accurate because they tell me they have a high IQ.
00:17:18.900
Because you ever notice any of those carnival people, they're never like, wow, you are
00:17:28.160
I'm not really sure what it is, but something golden in your future.
00:17:30.880
Also, Trailer Park, Aaron, Doc Thompson show, What I Learned Today, Insulting Donald
00:17:34.460
Trump is racist towards orange people like Oompa Loompas.
00:17:38.520
Apparently, racism is now fashionable once again, too.
00:17:41.500
I don't know what race he is, but I know orange isn't a...
00:17:52.340
I'm not saying he shouldn't be president because of his orangeness or anything like
00:17:56.360
I mean, I only know of two people off the top of my head that are of that race, but
00:18:01.220
they both had prominent positions in our government showing us that we are no longer racist,
00:18:04.780
and that is Donald Trump and also John Boehner, right?
00:18:10.340
A guy who was Speaker of the House and President, all of this...
00:18:20.700
You kind of like one's a little more Tropicana, and the other one's probably more, you know,
00:18:29.440
And I'm going to write this down and tweet this out what I've learned today.
00:18:31.700
When it comes to the presidency, orange is the new black.
00:18:42.420
Doc Thompson calling out hypocrisy with precision this morning.
00:18:53.560
Doc Thompson, what I learned today, a military coup,
00:19:07.100
But by trying to be consistent, we have been abused, just beat up with some of this stuff
00:19:19.480
I'm happy he did, but I didn't think he would get elected.
00:19:21.900
But we make mistakes, but we still have that same goal of trying to be consistent about this stuff.
00:19:29.680
And yeah, these people now, the whole point of the monologue about things becoming fashionable again
00:19:34.420
is that these people have forgotten yesterday, just days ago, they said the exact opposite
00:19:42.220
because, once again, they are focusing on their personal desires.
00:19:46.800
And by the way, how many of these people out at the protests, you know, the Women's March,
00:19:52.820
any of these things, or Berkeley the other night,
00:19:55.400
how many of them are saying, I am out here because I want to make sure people have more food and have a better life?
00:20:04.940
Okay, they say that, but how many are really out there for that?
00:20:11.300
You've got fat, unattractive women saying, women need to be treated better.
00:20:16.120
Well, where do you think their motivations from that come?
00:20:24.220
They feel like a second-class citizen based on those things.
00:20:31.800
You got the people out there saying, I'm being kept down.
00:20:42.920
Are they saying that they want that redistributed so everybody has the exact amount?
00:20:46.600
If you went to them and said, tell you what, I'll give you $500,000 of this banker's money if you shut the hell up.
00:20:53.840
They're not going to stay in the streets like Mother Teresa or something saying, we got to help everybody.
00:21:24.540
We have some really funny things coming up next week that you'll be able to follow if you just follow me on Twitter.
00:21:31.460
We'll be engaging in some things that are going to make you laugh.
00:21:34.900
We're going to be mocking some people in a grand way.
00:21:40.560
And they're like, what are you doing talking about this stuff?
00:21:47.340
So just follow me on Twitter, at DocThompsonShow.
00:21:53.080
One of the crew that I have on my show in the morning, part of the crew, we got Cal of Spins and Isles Radio Style.
00:22:03.820
You were really following all the stuff that happened at UC Berkeley with Milo, too, and the whole thing.
00:22:10.480
So what happened, basically, is that Milo Yappaloponis.
00:22:17.080
But we're on that friendship term now, that Yappaloponis.
00:22:23.900
Because I don't know how the spell is going to say his last name either.
00:22:27.980
I was like, can I get the Fenetic kind of like say?
00:22:30.760
Yeah, and they were like, well, how do you say it?
00:22:36.960
So Milo's supposed to speak at UC Berkeley, and he's doing a tour.
00:22:40.840
And he just goes into colleges and kind of gets a little triggery.
00:22:48.620
And then when he's done poking them in the eye, he takes his thumb and gouges it in the other eye.
00:22:53.340
And when he's done with that, then he kicks them in the nads.
00:23:01.020
And if he's successful, I say continue doing it.
00:23:06.360
This is an area that I slightly disagree with Glenn.
00:23:09.380
Most of the time, Glenn and I are usually in the same level.
00:23:11.460
There's been some things over the years I've called him out on.
00:23:14.740
First two days, Glenn supported TARP and then backed off.
00:23:17.280
And I was like, Glenn, you're wrong for these couple days.
00:23:22.400
Glenn is right in questioning some of Milo's tactics that you're not necessarily helping the situation.
00:23:32.720
And I think some things he said is really missing the point.
00:23:36.020
However, I think mockery and satire is also good because it calls out the nutcases and exposes them.
00:23:42.480
And quite frankly, it all gives us a laugh when all we want to do is go and burn the place down.
00:23:47.720
In fact, some of what Milo does keeps me from being the protesters on the street that burn stuff down.
00:23:58.400
So I understand what Glenn is saying, and he's right.
00:24:01.540
But it's not quite as bad in my world to have some people like that.
00:24:09.040
Well, the anti-fas, which is something new I learned, which is anti-fascist protesters.
00:24:27.280
Come on, just keep it between three and four minutes.
00:24:32.720
The protesters are just waiting, just like a normal protest.
00:24:35.100
But around about the time that he was supposed to go in and start talking, the protesters turned into what I call rioters.
00:24:42.880
They started launching those Roman candles towards the windows.
00:24:46.520
Yeah, I saw a bunch of fireworks and like, it even looked like road flares or something, too.
00:24:51.680
They were knocking down the light fixtures to the floor.
00:24:57.240
Which, by the way, you're only hurting yourselves.
00:25:06.680
But if you're like, I hate the corporations, let's go burn down one of their, but fine.
00:25:15.060
That isn't theirs because they don't pay taxes.
00:25:23.000
And then at the middle, the police had a retract, retreat, sorry, into the building, go to the second floor, and start giving warnings.
00:25:32.620
That's when the police say you got 10 minutes to disperse or we'll use force to arrest you.
00:25:38.420
And that's when they started using, I haven't confirmed this from the people that were on the ground, but they say they were like rubber bullets, tear gas, and some other things that they could not tell me what it was.
00:25:50.980
So you're there, you're, meaning the protesters that turned rioters, thugs, they're there exercising their First Amendment rights before they started being violent.
00:26:02.440
Out there in the streets, you know, peaceful assembly, that type of thing.
00:26:05.480
So at that point, they were there exercising their First Amendment rights to try to stop somebody else's First Amendment rights.
00:26:18.040
So, see, that whole First Amendment thing covers multiple things, you people.
00:26:23.180
See, your First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and protest also includes the First Amendment rights to speak and press and religion and redress of grievances, all of these things, right?
00:26:41.860
One thing, too, I don't know if you know this, but Milo is a gay conservative.
00:27:00.340
Did you see that video I showed you where he was building the wall?
00:27:04.900
So it turns out that he was escorted out, and he actually sent out a video, a five-minute video, and gave exclusives to Chris Tucker.
00:27:16.460
You know, the left, once you start giving that freedom of speech or trying to challenge them, they challenge back.
00:27:23.240
But in a weird way, they kind of attack you and destroy their own stuff.
00:27:28.740
It used to be people protesting, upset, and whatever, but now it's, we want to stop you.
00:27:34.880
We want to completely make you not exist, not here.
00:27:37.380
And there's a bunch of people on the right that believe those things, too.
00:27:39.620
I know as part of this protest, they pulled at least one dude out of a car and beat the snot out of it.
00:27:43.360
Well, before we get to that, they destroyed a Starbucks once again.
00:27:52.440
When I was out in D.C. covering the riots out there on Inauguration Day, which I posted all the videos on Facebook, Facebook Live, was huge.
00:28:01.580
They lit the car on fire, and I was right there.
00:28:03.720
They bashed in the windows of a Starbucks, and I'm like, guys, do you know who runs Starbucks?
00:28:09.480
Howard Schultz, who we're going to talk about later in this program as well.
00:28:12.300
So, Starbucks folks, you might want to be on notice.
00:28:16.560
But Howard Schultz believes, at least in part, like these people who were protesting, maybe not in the violence or whatever, but he's a leftist.
00:28:24.820
He's a progressive, and he's supported all kinds of progressive stuff.
00:28:27.640
If you look around protesters, he might be on Berkeley campus with you.
00:28:35.280
I guarantee at least some of his employees were at some of these protests.
00:28:38.960
So, they did that, and they also destroyed the Bank of America.
00:28:44.340
And then, let's fast forward to the middle of the night, kind of the end of the protest, slash riot.
00:28:49.660
They pulled this person out of the car and just beat the snot out of them.
00:28:55.480
Yeah, how is this you caring and being more caring than me?
00:29:00.400
Because that's what they keep saying, you know, we care more, we're doing this for all the people.
00:29:08.040
Like, why would you single out that one person?
00:29:11.040
But, I mean, if they're saying that this, well, Doc, you know, in order to make our point and save the world, some people are, you know, the end doesn't justify the means.
00:29:18.820
But even if they want to make that point, did they believe the end justified the means in Iraq, in Afghanistan?
00:29:26.260
You lost all these American lives, all this American money, and how many Iraqi lives?
00:29:34.420
So, coming up, I want to talk a little bit more about how it's fashionable not only to protest, but also how it's fashionable to want the presidential powers limited.
00:29:42.920
Because throughout Obama's presidency, I said things like, hey, you got too much power in the White House there.
00:29:52.140
And now they're like, hey, the president shouldn't have this much power.
00:30:04.680
But first, I want to ask you if you've heard about the report about gun sales.
00:30:08.240
They are shooting through the roof with some gun companies reporting earnings that are 66% over last year.
00:30:14.280
If you're like me and you own guns, yes, I do, do what I do and protect them with a Liberty Safe.
00:30:21.100
And by do what I do, I mean do what Glenn does, because I haven't gotten a Liberty Safe yet.
00:30:34.240
Glenn and his wife own five huge Liberty Safes.
00:30:37.020
They put things in them, most valuable stuff, not just guns.
00:30:39.660
I know Glenn has talked about putting his pictures and stuff like that.
00:30:42.320
My wife just started finally downloading pictures because she made a great point about it.
00:30:51.220
And so she downloads them on individual hard drives, not just on the cloud or something.
00:30:56.560
What's the other service that you have with that?
00:30:59.440
Not just the cloud, but there's other services you can store them at that I think she has.
00:31:05.620
So she does the hard drive, and then she's been printing them out.
00:31:10.220
Glenn has stored his stuff like that, family memories in there.
00:31:15.020
You'll find that Liberty Safes make great safes.
00:31:17.440
And right now, they're making $500 a day right here in America.
00:31:20.420
Every Liberty Safe comes with a lifetime warranty, and their customer service is number one.
00:31:25.120
Now you can save up to $250 off when you buy a Liberty Safe.
00:31:32.260
I don't know why it's a different one from the last people.
00:31:40.320
The discounts are automatic, and matching mail-in rebates is also offered.
00:31:44.980
So for the best safes built on the planet, go to LibertySafes.com.
00:32:02.820
Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today, talking about things that have become fashionable again.
00:32:10.360
And one of the things that has now become fashionable, just starting two weeks ago today,
00:32:17.800
Folks, during the prior administration, Obama administration, I wanted to limit presidential power.
00:32:26.520
And the administration before that, I wanted to limit it.
00:32:28.920
And the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before.
00:32:31.300
Even when I didn't exist in utero, when I was just a gleam, I still wanted to limit presidential powers, and I always will.
00:32:38.380
Without a balance of powers between the branches of government, we don't exist anymore.
00:32:43.360
And unfortunately, the balance of power between the federal government, the states, and the people has been out of whack for decades.
00:32:52.560
It's become fashionable now, all of a sudden, for so many people who are like,
00:32:55.720
Barack Obama can do whatever he wants because he's so smart, we'll just give him all the power in the world,
00:33:03.100
You're simply going with what you want to have accomplished.
00:33:07.420
For example, you have the protests at UC Berkeley, two nights ago.
00:33:12.040
And Donald Trump tweets out, and I think smartly.
00:33:14.720
He's throwing a bomb here, but I think smartly.
00:33:17.300
He tweets, if UC Berkeley doesn't allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view,
00:33:30.300
You know, maybe we don't give you the federal funds.
00:33:33.360
Well, UC Berkeley gets literally billions of dollars for student aid, medical needs, and research.
00:33:43.380
So to hit him in the pocketbook is going to be effective.
00:33:46.640
And he doesn't even actually have to go through it, that he's just putting him on notice.
00:33:49.700
I'm not saying he wouldn't do it, but he's putting him on notice.
00:33:55.400
That's within the power structure of the government.
00:33:57.960
He's not saying he's unilaterally going to do this, but he could suggest legislation.
00:34:03.600
There may be some things that he could limit the funds.
00:34:08.760
You're telling us you have, we don't want you involved in campus, and campus should be free speech,
00:34:13.780
and we don't want outside cops, all of that stuff we've heard?
00:34:18.660
Because my tax dollars, living in Arkansas, working sometimes in Texas,
00:34:24.040
are still going to pay for crap on campuses and places like UC Berkeley.
00:34:44.180
Now you're concerned about limiting presidential power.
00:34:50.020
Do you want people taking money that is not yours?
00:34:57.620
No, I'm saying I don't want to take him at all, so maybe he uses this power, you know.
00:35:02.600
Yeah, but you've got to understand their perspective, you know.
00:35:16.580
So Gavin Newsom, who is crazy, the former mayor of San Francisco, current lieutenant governor,
00:35:22.720
running for governor, tweeted out in response to Trump's tweet,
00:35:27.440
As a UC regent, I'm appalled at your willingness to deprive over 38,000 students access to an education
00:35:39.500
Do you realize how much hypocrisy he stuffed into 140 characters or less?
00:35:44.800
Do you realize how much crap he stuffed in there?
00:35:48.800
As a UC regent, what the hell does that matter?
00:35:53.840
I mean, you can't be appalled if you're a homemaker in Georgia or you sell sausages on the street in San Francisco.
00:36:06.000
You have to be, as a UC regent, as somebody who let me go down my resume, lieutenant governor and running for governor,
00:36:15.480
I thought he was going to say UC Berkeley student, alumni.
00:36:21.340
As somebody who has a cushy job, let me share with you,
00:36:25.400
I'm appalled at your willingness to deprive 38,000 students access.
00:36:50.140
Are they really being educated on the campus there?
00:36:56.940
And then the Coupe de Gracie, because of the actions of a few.
00:37:07.620
He is somebody who is basically labeled in the past, anybody on the right, as crazy, racist, whatever.
00:37:27.260
Oh, there's still much more to come when it comes to the hypocrisy and what is now fashionable.
00:37:32.860
Specifically around the riots the other night on the campus of UC Berkeley.
00:37:36.380
Also coming up, we're going to be discussing the hashtag Hire 10,000 Veterans.
00:37:44.820
Click on it on Twitter so you know what we're going to be talking about.
00:38:11.000
Get a Casper mattress and get a great night's sleep.
00:38:16.220
Go to casper.com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.
00:38:54.920
And if you want to find out more about me, go to theblaze.com slash doc.
00:39:02.320
Because we have some really interesting things coming up in the next few weeks as I launch some new projects.
00:39:16.960
But I want to touch a little bit more on what we said about Donald Trump tweeting out that maybe UC Berkeley are suggesting or questioning if they should be defunded.
00:39:24.960
If they shouldn't get those federal tax dollars anymore.
00:39:32.460
It is long past due that academia in America be challenged on their nuttiness.
00:39:37.360
For these people who years ago used to tell us, okay, listen.
00:39:46.860
It's time you get exposed to some alternative ideas.
00:39:50.540
You know, your ideas, if they're solid enough, ought to be able to take it.
00:39:53.360
We just want all things here to enlighten and educate you.
00:39:59.600
And now, it's not about let's hear all voices and sides.
00:40:04.280
It's like if you have anything other than an extremist progressive agenda, then you are shut down.
00:40:10.660
Sometimes beat down, as we saw the other night in Berkeley.
00:40:13.580
So, this is certainly reasonable to say, maybe you shouldn't get federal dollars.
00:40:25.480
For Gavin Newsom to come out and say that Donald Trump just wants to, what, take away people's access to college and whatnot.
00:40:41.940
Gavin Newsom tweeted, was this just 11 hours ago?
00:40:47.500
He tweets out, the spy list of the GOP continues as they pander to the NRA and move to weaken our background check system.
00:41:05.240
Why does he support additional gun laws, banning guns, common sense solutions?
00:41:13.240
Of all the rhetoric about guns, what is the basis for it?
00:41:28.280
They say that because of the mass shootings, we must have additional gun legislation.
00:41:34.000
How many people in America have shot a gun at somebody?
00:41:40.560
How many gun owners, like legal gun owners, have done that?
00:41:45.540
It's infinitesimal the number of people that have killed somebody, shot somebody.
00:41:52.360
So, you're talking about the actions of a very few.
00:41:56.320
So, when it comes to the protesters out there, Gavin Newsom wants to give them a pass to burn the place down.
00:42:06.040
But when a couple of nutcases shoot people, all legal gun owners then have to have their gun rights in question.
00:42:15.380
Yeah, and he actually says that the NRA is at fault for the Baton Rouge police shootings.
00:42:29.600
So, the NRA, even if that was accurate, which it's not, would still be the actions of a, what's the word I'm looking for?
00:42:39.620
Does anybody else call these people on this stuff?
00:42:49.560
She said Berkeley is the center of the free speech movement.
00:42:55.740
Berkeley, I'm thinking of some cities like Lexington, Concord, places like, hey, Richmond, Virginia at St. John's Church with Patrick Henry.
00:43:08.000
All of these, wouldn't that be the center of the free speech?
00:43:10.540
Or if you want to take it to ancient freedoms and democracies, you can go to Greece or places like this.
00:43:20.920
Now, does she mean the modern free speech movement?
00:43:26.840
She's clearly living in the 60s with this crap.
00:43:37.720
She said Berkeley is the center of the free speech movement.
00:43:39.760
I think that the protesters have a right to free speech as well.
00:43:55.440
She said if there's an infiltration of the crowd by those that are less than peaceful, that should be addressed.
00:44:11.080
Barbara Lee, she is the Democrat representative from Oakland, California area, that district.
00:44:18.160
She said Berkeley has a proud history of dissent, and students were fully within their rights to protest peacefully.
00:44:28.480
She then said, however, however, I am disappointed by the unacceptable acts of violence last night, which were counterproductive and dangerous.
00:44:41.960
Are you, what are you going to do about it, Babs?
00:44:55.060
Are you going to round these people up and prosecute them?
00:44:57.300
In other words, they're more concerned about protecting the rights of the others than punishing those people.
00:45:06.400
I'm willing to, Trump, me, everybody else, nobody's questioning the rights of those people.
00:45:13.500
Babs Lee went on to say, President Donald Trump cannot bully our university into silence.
00:45:22.560
And he's going to do more of it, and I'm going to support it.
00:45:25.260
They call it the bully pulpit, and you were fine when Obama did it.
00:45:28.760
She said, simply put, President Trump's empty threat.
00:45:34.940
Because if this crap keeps up, you're going to see, I don't think he's, I don't think it's an empty threat.
00:45:40.140
And I may not support something that he would do that's, well, I wouldn't support something that's unconstitutional.
00:45:45.200
But he may do something that is questionable beyond his powers, and I'll speak against it.
00:45:49.740
But I will take joy in the fact that she'll be proven wrong.
00:45:54.820
President Trump's empty threat to cut funding from UC Berkeley is an abuse of power.
00:45:59.180
As long as he doesn't violate the Constitution, it is not.
00:46:02.000
She said, President Trump doesn't have a license to blackmail universities.
00:46:18.280
I would think that a Democrat member of Congress and a black Democrat member of Congress should know better than to use a word like blackmail.
00:46:31.320
She said, he's the president, not a dictator, and his empty threats are an abuse of power.
00:46:36.860
Boy, I wish she would have applied those same standards the last eight years.
00:46:39.420
Another rep, Mark DeSavio, whatever the hell his name is.
00:46:43.180
While we do not condone violence, what's going to follow that?
00:46:55.020
The idea of protesters threatening to strip the world's leading public institution
00:46:59.860
and research facility of feds is, of funds is foolish.
00:47:04.100
Okay, while I, while we do not condone violence, the only thing really acceptable to follow that is, and this is, you really shouldn't tie them together.
00:47:16.300
We don't condone violence, but we don't want to limit free speech.
00:47:22.940
You know, okay, maybe it's rare that anything would follow it.
00:47:27.500
Threatening to strip the world's leading public institution or research facility of funds is foolish.
00:47:34.000
It's the best, of course, because he's from California.
00:47:36.900
Adam Schiff, who's a Republican member of, or a Democrat member of Congress, said,
00:47:41.360
Hey, tweeted, Hey, at GOP leader, that's Kevin McCarthy, who's in leadership for the Republicans.
00:47:49.060
Real question, are you going to let real Donald Trump take away UC funding in a temper tantrum?
00:48:02.400
You're more concerned what Trump said in this thing.
00:48:05.840
That seems like they're missing the point just a little bit.
00:48:08.560
Well, if they talk about temper tantrum, didn't the riot, the protesters had a bigger temper tantrum?
00:48:15.340
Just a little bit bigger than Trump's temper tantrum?
00:48:18.880
They weren't, it wasn't a temper tantrum for them.
00:48:21.380
For them, they were exercising their free speech rights to protect all people.
00:48:30.780
We're going to get a break in and we're going to come back to some of your calls.
00:48:34.880
And some of your tweets, it's hashtag what I learned today, at Doc Thompson's show.
00:48:38.660
If you want to tweet at Chris, who's joining me today, he's regularly part of my morning broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.
00:48:46.340
And he has a week, week, like 5,000 following on Twitter.
00:48:57.440
Well, the Blaze heard you and they just put it up.
00:49:06.060
And I've heard it and really just never made the decision to call.
00:49:10.060
I'm like, I know I got to do some different things.
00:49:11.780
I've got to get some gold, diversify all of this stuff.
00:49:15.200
Literally, right before the first of the year, between the holidays, I went online and I ordered the free information.
00:49:24.160
I got a follow-up call just a couple of days ago about it.
00:49:28.740
But it's just one of those things you put off, you hear over and over again.
00:49:31.780
The reason I finally decided was because I know I have to do some things differently in the coming years.
00:49:36.860
If you look at a bunch of different researchers out there, some names that we've had on the show, Glenn has had other people,
00:49:43.740
a lot of them say that there's a lot of volatility possibly coming.
00:49:54.680
But some indicators say that there could be some troubles down the road.
00:49:59.620
Traditionally, when the stock market goes up, it's going to come down at some point.
00:50:04.360
You know as a new president comes in and tries to do things, sometimes, you know, it takes a dip for a while.
00:50:11.520
And getting the information from Goldline is just going to prepare you.
00:50:14.480
So I made that commitment between the holidays to do some different things.
00:50:18.520
And that's the reason I ended up calling Goldline.
00:50:20.380
Glenn speaks very favorably to them, even off the air.
00:50:23.740
When I talk to Glenn about it, he's like, yeah, absolutely.
00:50:26.440
That's somebody you need to call because they'll walk you through the steps there.
00:50:29.200
So Goldline is proud to be the exclusive dealer of the first encapsulated square coin, the legal tender unit.
00:50:36.420
And I like them because they don't roll off the table.
00:50:42.280
The legal tender unit contains one tenth ounce of gold bullion.
00:50:45.560
Goldline collaborated with the Perth Mint on the design of the legal tender unit.
00:50:49.720
Now, the legal tender unit offers the same benefits as legal tender coin, but the square shape.
00:50:54.780
Each unit is individually sealed for protection and optimum flexibility in purchasing, bartering, or gifting down the road.
00:51:00.440
Orders of ten legal tender units will be delivered in a limited edition barter tube, a rugged snap front container that secures up to ten legal tender units for easy access and distribution.
00:51:10.600
If you want more information on this or any of the other services Goldline provides, what you want to do is dial 866-GOLDLINE.
00:51:21.600
It's no pressure, but they give you all the information.
00:51:23.860
That number again, I'll give it to you two times.
00:51:33.600
The key to having a great day starts with having a great night's sleep, and I know because I have a Casper mattress.
00:51:44.420
The Casper mattress was invented with two high-tech foams that give you all of the support that you need and guarantee that you get the best night's sleep ever.
00:51:53.360
Time Magazine named Casper mattress one of the best inventions of 2015.
00:51:57.560
Casper ships for free in a box so small you won't believe it holds the actual mattress, making it simple to get from your front door to your bedroom.
00:52:07.680
They'll come and pick it up if you don't love it as much as I love mine, and they'll refund every single dime.
00:52:13.520
Once you try it, you're never going to want to sleep on anything else.
00:52:17.120
Having a great day by having a great night's sleep.
00:52:22.300
Use the promo code GLEN, $50 off the purchase of your mattress, at Casper.com slash GLEN.
00:52:29.840
Don't forget, $50 off the purchase of your mattress.
00:52:40.400
All right, I've been putting them off phone calls now.
00:52:54.340
Hey, last night on the panel segment of Special Report on Fox News, there was one of the panelists that said there was a report coming out of Berkeley that the administration had set up a free speech and protest zone.
00:53:11.020
The police were there to manage the situation, and they did a great job of it.
00:53:16.220
It did not get violent until about 115 people dressed in black showed up and started trashing the place.
00:53:24.240
This may well be a case of a rent-a-bop coming in and causing problems, and I have not heard this anywhere else, so you may want to see if you can verify it.
00:53:32.320
You know what, George, and I'm glad you brought this up, and thank you so much for the call.
00:53:36.100
Well, here's the reason I believe that, George, is because I was in D.C. when those protests happened on Inauguration Day, and it was virtually the same scenario.
00:53:45.220
Most of the people that were out there looked like the average people that either agreed or disagreed with President Trump or other issues.
00:53:53.900
Standing out there, they were just the masses and, in many cases, the useful idiots.
00:53:58.320
They might have been pushing it a little bit here and there, but it was the people in black.
00:54:05.640
You could tell they knew what they were doing, and they had some training, the way they were pulling up bricks and breaking them in half so they could throw rocks at the cops.
00:54:12.340
They knew just what buttons to push to get away with stuff and to create more of a crowd and to try to gin the crowd up.
00:54:20.100
Now, I suspected those people were shipped in because later that night, I mean, they set cars on fire on K Street, and you could see the videos.
00:54:30.180
So I went out later that night after I did some stuff with Conservative Review, and I go to some of the balls and I see protesters.
00:54:39.180
The protesters are just more with signs, kind of giving people elbows as they walk by, but it wasn't like battling cops.
00:54:46.220
So these are likely, if they are shipped in, they're going to have ties to one of those leftist groups that you know about.
00:54:53.580
Some of them may be directly or indirectly connected with the George Soroses.
00:55:02.440
But if that's the case, I cannot still excuse them, nor can I excuse the actions of the people that supported those nuts out there,
00:55:09.840
because where were the peaceful protesters standing in their way, and finally, where is Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom
00:55:16.680
and Representative Barbara Lee saying, we need to investigate those organizations that may be shipping them in there?
00:55:24.680
If they're causing trouble, if they're a public hazard like this, then absolutely they should be investigating them.
00:55:36.600
They want the George Soroses funding all of these organizations, because it helps them push their message and keeps them in power.
00:55:50.520
I'm going to tell you, as I sit here in Oklahoma, and I watch all this stuff on YouTube and mainstream media, the whole nine yards,
00:55:56.900
what absolutely infuriates me the most is these idiots are driving up my insurance rates in Oklahoma.
00:56:03.920
Every time they riot and protest, no individual goes in and pays for that damage.
00:56:12.060
And I'm stuck paying the bills because these idiots don't want to get a job and have something better to do.
00:56:16.580
That's a great, that's a marvelous point, Holly.
00:56:18.480
So again, not just the funds that go into the college and our tax dollars and then police forces and funding that is shared by all of us for all different agencies that get money.
00:56:38.120
I live in northwest Arkansas, so I'm Bentonville, Fayetteville area, so we're neighbors there.
00:56:44.060
All right, we'll get some tweets as well with the hashtag, what I learned today.
00:56:46.540
Cal, spinning the dials radio style for us today.
00:56:51.800
Doc Thompson judges women and more than likely other sorts of people by their appearance.
00:57:04.980
Of course you judge people on their, I'm not saying that you're saying they're bad people,
00:57:11.140
You don't walk through the store and you're like, wow, that guy is huge.
00:57:13.960
And by the way, I'm being judged and I judge myself on it.
00:57:19.620
I'm not saying they, you know, they can't be president or I wouldn't hire them or something because of it,
00:57:25.560
Sheena Fouts tweeted, my 12-year-old digs what's now fashionable from Doc Thompson,
00:57:34.300
I'm big with people who can't vote or buy, program, or support our sponsors.
00:57:53.180
Carl Bailey tweets, Doc Thompson show, what I learned today, rush is right.
00:57:57.180
The feminist movement exists so ugly women can get dates.
00:58:09.880
I wonder what your wife thinks about the things that you say.
00:58:15.520
And my wife is attractive, so she doesn't have to worry about such things.
00:58:20.200
How many, by percentage, what percent of the women at the Women's March,
00:58:27.800
I don't think a week ago, two weeks ago tomorrow, two weeks ago tomorrow.
00:58:34.820
Yes, I mean, you, I thought I heard you saying something like,
00:58:56.040
I mean, the vegans are real thin, so that kind of sways it in their favor.
00:58:59.480
But outside of the vegans, there's a very small percentage that you're wanting to,
00:59:04.080
you know, you're looking at, like, all right, I, you know, as a single man, maybe I.
00:59:09.940
Yeah, there's not, there's not enough liquor for, like, 85% of them.
00:59:13.060
If I, you slip me a roofie, there's not enough liquor.
00:59:15.460
Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.
00:59:32.240
Cal is with me for my morning broadcast at the Blaze Radio Network.
00:59:40.820
And, yeah, you had the Women's March just two weeks ago tomorrow.
00:59:43.920
And there are all kinds of protests that are going to be happening over the next couple of months.
00:59:49.400
And I tell you this because if you're a capitalist, you got to get out there and make some cash off of this.
00:59:55.300
This is, in some ways, equivalent to the Tea Party movement.
00:59:59.640
They haven't given them a unifying name, but everybody and their mom is going to be protesting in the next few months.
01:00:04.120
And there's a couple of really big ones scheduled for April, May, June.
01:00:09.660
I mean, as it warms up, they're going to have more because, you know, these people are snowflakes, right?
01:00:13.640
And they don't, I'm too sensitive to march in the cold, that type of thing.
01:00:18.680
Coming up on Earth Day, April 22nd in Washington, D.C., I'm not kidding.
01:00:34.660
Cal, do we have something on the march of scientists?
01:00:42.840
Well, maybe we move on and get some more tweets.
01:00:45.400
It's at Doc Thompson, Joe, and at RC underscore Chris, and at KAL 79, Cal 79.
01:00:53.640
We had I am K Smooth asking, did George Soros fund the riots in Berkeley?
01:00:58.740
It's always a question, and it's always a pretty good bet in my book.
01:01:04.340
Here's somebody asking, why does Glenn say Milo is alt-right?
01:01:10.040
Here's the thing about the alt-right, when we discussed it earlier.
01:01:19.240
We talked to them, actually, in our morning show, I think it was like, what, three, four months ago?
01:01:25.480
Yeah, we did talk to them a few months ago, some people who tried to explain it to us, and even they couldn't.
01:01:30.580
Yeah, we talked to them, and he was really interesting, especially the whole white supremacy and all that stuff.
01:01:37.340
But we tried to talk to them again, and they kind of were like, oh, no, we don't want to talk.
01:01:46.560
There's not, I mean, there's some things you can kind of point to, and even that's kind of loose.
01:01:54.520
If you look at the people that are, I would say, more aggressive, willing to overlook certain flaws or failures, there is a racial component.
01:02:04.780
It doesn't necessarily mean that everybody who identifies as alt-right with some of the other stuff is a racist.
01:02:09.460
I would say probably the nationalist and populist movements, either in the traditional sense, if you look historically, or maybe their modern take on it, something like that, sure.
01:02:20.180
So a couple of weeks ago, we saw a story that a college, and I can't remember what college it is, has a program where they want to teach people on college campus what consent is and is not when having sex.
01:02:41.080
Consent is, yeah, or some action or movement, you know, saying, yeah, let's do this, right?
01:02:51.920
Little gray line with the whole seduction thing, and sometimes people say no, but they're just kind of being playful and want to respect themselves that they at least said no once.
01:03:02.200
But, I mean, it becomes pretty clear to most of us.
01:03:05.440
So they said, we need to teach a course on this as part of a series of courses on consent.
01:03:16.480
And in order to teach this, they were going to use ordering a pizza.
01:03:21.380
Yeah, that you would make a little felt pizza, and you'd act as a person ordering pizza like,
01:03:37.460
I don't know what kind of weird, freaky stuff you're into.
01:03:45.780
So we had this hashtag, and had fun with it a couple days ago.
01:03:54.520
And we had fun with it, and people made their jokes, and there were some very inappropriate things.
01:03:58.900
And then all of a sudden, later at night, after our show is well over, it starts trending.
01:04:08.260
You know the Pizzagate that were real deep in the Hillary Clinton pedophile ring out of cosmic pizza,
01:04:16.500
Which, okay, there was some hinky things about that, but they took it to crazy conspiracy town,
01:04:21.380
and these people were tweeting the most offensive pictures about, like, abusing women and rape and human trafficking and stuff like this.
01:04:31.480
And I guess it was the equivalent of if you are an anti-abortion person,
01:04:37.260
and you put up the big aborted fetus that's graphic to try to disgust people.
01:04:44.180
It's almost like some of them are, like, into it.
01:04:48.140
Yeah, because when I texted you, I was like, hey, why are we trending again?
01:04:54.260
And when I was sort of looking at them, I said, whoa, this is not something that usually happens to us.
01:05:00.140
And I think some of those people are more inclined to be the alt-righty people.
01:05:05.020
Okay, back to the march that's coming up on April 22nd, which I probably will be there.
01:05:12.100
Of risk, after witnessing the sheer size of the Women's March on Washington.
01:05:27.780
Rerouting the power of the masses through the forward phase conduit.
01:05:36.260
Seeing people wearing female genitalia and actually seeing that for the first time got us thinking.
01:05:43.840
Maybe we could finally score if we had a march as well.
01:05:47.400
Yes, to boldly go, we're only a hand full of us have gone before.
01:05:52.600
10 to the second, maybe even more if X equals a covalent of 12.
01:05:55.920
Of respected scientists from every walk of academia.
01:06:02.080
Carrying signs such as, nerds against swirlies.
01:06:15.720
Proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.
01:06:19.980
Solving the scientific questions we all want answers to.
01:06:23.100
Like if sea levels were actually rising, why did Al Gore buy an oceanfront mansion?
01:06:27.520
Why hasn't Sheila Lee Jackson's head collapsed from the obvious vacuum inside?
01:06:39.420
Plus, see a special screening on the National Mall of the latest in the global warming series, Sharknado Inside the Vortex.
01:06:47.720
On the giant inflatable screen filled with hot air that looks like a giant boob.
01:06:53.060
Yes, the screen looks exactly like Chuck Schumer.
01:06:56.400
And thanks to our corporate sponsor, be sure to get your free slice of never-ending pie, starting at 3.14.
01:07:03.300
Tell your eidetic memory to mentally circle the month of March 2017 for the Scientific Walk on Washington.
01:07:10.780
Endothermic or exothermic blow-up barbies sold separately.
01:07:14.480
That's how I imagine the Scientist March will go.
01:07:19.840
I'll be out there the 22nd in April because I'm not a scientist, but I am a capitalist.
01:07:23.500
And I'm going to go big on the 22nd because Daddy needs some cash.
01:07:30.360
You know, if you want the solution, because one of the things I keep doing on the morning show now is to offer solutions with all this stuff.
01:07:35.520
So we told you about the different protesters that turned into rioters and what's going on.
01:07:39.260
We told you the hypocrisies and the failures of people on the left and how to get that done and accomplished.
01:07:43.040
But the solution to the actual rioting is this.
01:07:47.000
Although police have done, in many cases, pretty good jobs from letting these things get out of hand, they need to start going more after those rioters.
01:07:59.080
They may have arrested some the other night in Berkeley.
01:08:02.020
They need to start enforcing the law within that crowd.
01:08:06.520
And I know it's difficult to do and it's not easy, but I saw some of the failures in D.C.
01:08:10.540
They have a contained mentality first to keep it from getting out of hand.
01:08:15.860
But you need to go after these people with extreme prejudice.
01:08:19.020
These people are not just breaking windows or they're putting people in danger.
01:08:22.400
And you start clubbing these people a couple times when they're doing this stuff.
01:08:26.460
And I'm not talking about inappropriate police brutality.
01:08:28.800
I'm talking about you know they're going to resist.
01:08:34.060
And by the way, don't put your head on the hand when you throw them in the cop car.
01:08:40.140
You do that and you start putting that on TV, maybe you'll get rid of some of this stuff.
01:08:45.880
Coming up, I'm going to need your help with something.
01:08:59.420
But I want to talk to you about something that's been going on in my life.
01:09:03.100
I have a security system at my house that I don't love.
01:09:08.380
And just recently, I'm like, I've got to get something else.
01:09:12.480
So this is something that I'm likely going to be calling on in the next couple of weeks.
01:09:19.800
Well, that's exactly what happened to one homeowner in Los Angeles last month.
01:09:23.040
The perp dragged the homeowner's safe all the way down the stairs, out the door, into a getaway vehicle.
01:09:31.400
Too many homes out there, maybe yours, only have a single pane of glass as the barrier between your home safety and catastrophe.
01:09:38.120
That's why Glenn has been recommending SimpliSafe Home Security.
01:09:41.480
Now, these guys take care of your home, and that's the reason I'm interested in it.
01:09:44.760
SimpliSafe's 24-7 protection is just $14.99 a month.
01:09:52.880
Less than 50 cents a day, and that is far less than I'm paying right now.
01:09:56.340
And based on what Glenn's telling me, much better service as well.
01:10:01.020
Your belongings, your safety, your family, all worth so much more, so why not give them a try?
01:10:08.520
Plus, with SimpliSafe's 60-day money-back guarantee, you'll get a full refund.
01:10:14.840
And all you have to do, go to SimpliSafeBeck.com.
01:10:27.000
That's SimpliSafeBeck.com for 10% off your home security system.
01:10:46.360
If you would, please follow me on Twitter, at DocThompsonShow.
01:10:48.860
When I filled in for Glenn just before Christmas, we launched a little program because I'm a capitalist.
01:10:55.240
To have a little fun and to make money because I'm a capitalist.
01:11:04.840
Go to DNCTrophy.com to get your participation trophy for a snowflake you know.
01:11:13.720
And I think Tommy had it on her program one night, giving trophies away.
01:11:17.800
We're going to do some more stuff down the road with this.
01:11:20.140
So order yours today because you're going to want to have it in a couple of weeks.
01:11:28.420
I'm not letting the cat route completely out of the bag.
01:11:35.440
I'm just saying get your trophy now because there's some things coming up soon.
01:11:42.300
So all these people out there protesting at Berkeley or whatever, I got why they're protesting.
01:11:55.060
So when they lost the election, I mean, this was eight years of Obama.
01:11:59.600
They had win after win after crazy win for them.
01:12:02.840
And all of a sudden, they're in this world where they lose.
01:12:06.420
And every day, Trump does something they're so bothered by.
01:12:12.000
See, you and I, we were used to being kicked around in the schoolyard, right?
01:12:16.720
It was like Lord of the Flies every day after lunch.
01:12:21.160
You lose some, you win some, but you get in there and fight, right?
01:12:31.140
And if you go to DNCTrophy.com, you look at it.
01:12:43.620
I think if we can get a trophy to all of these snowflakes and the protesters out there
01:12:49.760
And they're on board going, yes, President Trump, I am behind you.
01:13:05.920
And we have a program for free shipping because you got to pay shipping on yours.
01:13:09.900
For free shipping, we'll send one to like Colin Kaepernick, to members of the DNC, just so
01:13:16.740
I mean, you can show them that you want them to feel like a winner as well.
01:13:24.420
You just get it and, you know, give it to somebody like or have it.
01:13:32.880
But it's also fun and it's bringing the country together.
01:13:43.640
Please follow at Doc Thompson show at Cal 79 and at RC underscore Chris.
01:13:48.500
If you want to know more about our show in the morning blaze.
01:13:56.080
Hey, Doc, what's with that man ring on your index finger?
01:14:01.580
You know, I've been seeing that lately and I got to call, you know, call you out here
01:14:07.200
All week, you guys have been around me and nobody's called me.
01:14:14.440
I noticed it, but I didn't know how to brush it.
01:14:16.320
This is my wedding ring and the other one I don't wear all the time.
01:14:22.220
I didn't have a wedding ring when we started dating.
01:14:24.060
And I don't wear it all the time because I'm not a big jewelry fan either.
01:14:28.780
In fact, this is pretty much the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring.
01:14:31.740
The reason I'm wearing it is because it's uncomfortable and I don't like it.
01:14:39.120
This is one of those things at times in my life when I try to remember things that I'm
01:14:44.720
having trouble with, like don't kick that guy in the face on the subway today.
01:14:50.320
When I'm having particular struggles with something in my life, remember to be a better
01:14:56.240
So it'll come out for a week or two at a time when I'm trying to remember something.
01:15:00.280
I'm like, okay, remember, you got to do this, work hard.
01:15:03.780
And I have been putting in more and more time away from my family.
01:15:07.740
And it's been a bit of a struggle to me being away from my sons and my wife because I'm looking
01:15:14.720
Glenn treats me really well around here and I want to do more.
01:15:19.100
But anything could happen tomorrow and I've got to grow my brand.
01:15:23.680
I'm looking for other side opportunities with television and whatnot.
01:15:26.060
And being away from my family to do that, being in Dallas, is a struggle.
01:15:31.120
So this is my reminder this week that when I am unhappy and missing them, this is for
01:15:38.540
So a translation, you're going to be away from your wife.
01:15:41.160
You said you put that ring on so people know you're taken.
01:15:44.340
Cal, I just told a really nice story that I thought people were going to believe.
01:15:54.260
You're trying to share something nice and you have to tell the truth.
01:16:00.180
I think we need some changes in the control booth.
01:16:28.180
Get a Casper mattress and get a great night's sleep.
01:16:33.360
Go to casper.com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.
01:17:12.980
Just go to theblaze.com slash doc for more information on me.
01:17:17.160
I want to ask for your help with something today.
01:17:19.940
And I hope it's something you'll take seriously.
01:17:22.460
And I hope it's something that you'll take just a moment and help us out with.
01:17:26.600
A couple of, I think it was about a week or so.
01:17:32.620
When Donald Trump announced his ban as it's being pushed.
01:17:41.740
Because a ban indicates like indefinite or for lengthy periods of time.
01:17:45.840
When he announced this, a bunch of people flipped out and said,
01:18:05.380
But, of course, we should, when we can, help people around the world.
01:18:11.440
If you're a Christian, your faith tells you you should be doing that.
01:18:15.520
My problem with it, though, is we have people that we don't have to vet that need help.
01:18:20.300
We have people that live next door to us, down the street, that we pass on our way to work every day.
01:18:25.580
There are people right here in America that live in places like West Virginia and Alabama and Mississippi.
01:18:32.100
There's some very poor parts of America, Kentucky, that need your help.
01:18:36.680
People in richer states like the New England states and New York, California, that are living in poverty and need your help.
01:18:43.160
Now, I think there's a more libertarian and conservative way to help them than, hey, government, give them money, or you just cutting them a check.
01:18:51.140
There are programs and systems and organizations we can go through.
01:18:54.340
But we are dictated, directed by our faiths to help these people.
01:19:01.500
But shouldn't we prioritize Americans first, the people closest to us?
01:19:04.860
Because when we help them, we build a stronger America, and a stronger America allows us to help even more people.
01:19:26.820
Certainly better than people that come from halfway around the world.
01:19:29.220
And I'm telling you, yes, we should when we can help those people out.
01:19:33.180
Now, when it comes to the ban, or so-called Muslim ban, as some are saying, Donald Trump is right to at least say,
01:19:41.260
we need to make sure the proper systems are in place to determine if people coming to America are going to hurt us.
01:19:54.540
If he really believes this is something that's going to help the structure?
01:19:58.500
If it was a Muslim ban, or a ban on Hindus, or anybody else based on their religion, or based on a race, or something, I would say absolutely not.
01:20:09.480
Not a concern if those countries were primarily responsible for terrorism.
01:20:13.260
Having said all of that, Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, sent out a message, public form, public release,
01:20:25.560
that says that the Starbucks company is going to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years.
01:20:38.840
It's good that they're thinking of those people.
01:20:40.320
But why isn't Howard Schultz and Starbucks thinking of Americans first?
01:20:48.740
I mean, I know they sell coffee around the world, but I'm thinking they have more shops in America,
01:20:52.440
and more Americans buying your coffee than anyone else.
01:20:55.720
Why aren't they helping certain Americans, like veterans?
01:21:00.560
How is it that the people that made your existence possible, veterans,
01:21:06.620
that you haven't thought about them before thinking of refugees?
01:21:21.660
You're going to give jobs to 10,000 refugees before 10,000 veterans?
01:21:28.420
When you look at the number of veterans that are coming back with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD
01:21:35.960
veterans that are just being overlooked because of political biases as well,
01:21:40.040
and there are tens of thousands of them out of work,
01:21:42.620
there may be as many as 200,000 veterans out of work right now.
01:21:46.320
I mean, it's nice to have jobs for everybody, but let's be honest.
01:21:54.800
I mean, throughout American history, we have fought and defended America.
01:22:00.540
I mean, by we, I mean the veterans fought for America.
01:22:03.800
Howard Schultz wouldn't have a place to put his business.
01:22:07.460
He wouldn't have a place to make millions of dollars himself
01:22:10.700
while saying we're going to help refugees over veterans.
01:22:13.700
So I got kind of ticked off at this, and I said, you know what?
01:22:19.220
I'm a man of simple means, but I at least appear on the Glenn Beck program now and then.
01:22:27.540
I want to hire 10,000 veterans or find jobs for them anyways in the next 30 days.
01:22:38.500
Are there 10,000 positions out there at your company or other companies?
01:22:45.220
Would they make a commitment to hiring veterans?
01:22:51.900
We had some commitments last night on our Facebook page.
01:22:56.460
Well, we're using the hashtag hire 10,000 veterans on Twitter.
01:23:00.140
And I want this to be a central meeting place over the next month or so
01:23:05.220
let me scroll through and see if anybody's hiring in my area.
01:23:08.140
Or if you're a company, maybe you tweet out there,
01:23:13.460
We can hire 160 veterans over the next month or so.
01:23:17.500
I mean, maybe you're not going to hire until April.
01:23:21.200
Can you tell us about it now so we can be prepared?
01:23:35.300
And the Veterans Administration is not helping them.
01:23:37.220
In fact, the Veterans Administration is still killing veterans.
01:23:42.560
Hopefully Donald Trump's going to do something.
01:23:44.360
Hopefully his new VA director will do something.
01:23:47.680
If they don't, I'm going to be kicking their ass on air in a couple months.
01:23:52.340
But as of now, the Veterans Administration is still not taking care of veterans.
01:24:02.520
The way to help veterans is not put them on a bunch of meds.
01:24:06.180
The way to help veterans is to show them love, concern, and care.
01:24:14.080
And sometimes that's service animals or, what is it, hyperbaric oxygen chambers.
01:24:20.360
Is that what the hyper, am I getting the name right?
01:24:37.700
I mean, it would be nice to have a big fat check coming in.
01:24:56.160
Please tweet at us now if you know of somebody that's hiring.
01:25:04.260
I mean, I know you're probably doing it for the right reasons.
01:25:12.580
I don't want to bag on Starbucks completely because they're doing some good with that.
01:25:19.420
But it still seems empty when you're going to hire 10,000 refugees at your 11,000 stores over five years.
01:25:33.760
And you're going to hire 10,000 veterans over five years.
01:25:39.540
So, every year, one of five, count them out, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, every fifth store of theirs will hire one veteran every year to reach that number.
01:25:53.960
That doesn't sound like much of a commitment, does it?
01:26:00.480
Doesn't even sound much of a commitment for the refugees.
01:26:03.780
Every fifth store of theirs will hire one refugee over five years.
01:26:07.820
And then, who's holding Starbucks or other companies accountable when they say this?
01:26:16.720
All right, Starbucks, let's see the books, baby.
01:26:25.640
You want to put a bet up that they don't hire 10,000 refugees if there was a way to tell?
01:26:32.380
Because as far as I'm concerned, they're not going to hire 10,000 refugees.
01:26:45.000
If there's no follow-up, there's no accountability.
01:26:47.440
And if people do follow-up, what are they going to do?
01:26:51.240
You're right, we lied, it was for publicity, we didn't get it done.
01:26:58.140
While we didn't reach our goal of 10,000, we did hit 1,400.
01:27:02.720
And continue to help people with our other services.
01:27:05.740
And the bigger issue at the time was to make a stance against Donald.
01:27:08.700
It'll be a bunch of crap like that that their marketing department comes up with.
01:27:19.920
I think it's good that you want to help people.
01:27:29.500
Because when I read through the things you support, like DACA and illegals,
01:27:34.000
it seems like you're really just using your money and influence to push a progressive agenda,
01:27:52.120
Anybody else at Starbucks Corporate, if he wants you to go on because he wusses out
01:27:57.320
and doesn't want to face the heat here, I'll talk to their marketing people as well,
01:28:10.300
Hey, I'll say I'm wrong if you end up doing it.
01:28:25.440
On Twitter, again, it's hashtag hire10,000vets.
01:28:29.540

01:30:50.840
Okay, so we got a bunch of people tweeting and actually have some people offering some jobs,
01:30:54.340
a handful of jobs here and there at hashtag hire 10,000 veterans.
01:30:58.260
And we're hoping to do this in the next month or so.
01:31:00.680
Now, some people on social media and others have called us out and said,
01:31:08.480
He did say he was going to hire 10,000 refugees over five years.
01:31:13.080
Some people are claiming, wait a minute, they have hired veterans in the past and made a commitment.
01:31:17.200
Chris Cruz is here with us from the Morning Blaze as well.
01:31:19.660
They've said that he's hired, made a commitment to hire 10,000 veterans in the past?
01:31:24.080
So in 2013, November 2013, they started an initiative to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses by 2018.
01:31:36.400
They say so far, four years into the commitment, they hired 8,800 veterans and family spouses.
01:31:46.260
Did they list their partially redacted social security numbers?
01:31:52.680
You don't come out even after saying we're going to hire 10,000 veterans and then say we're going to hire 10,000 refugees.
01:31:58.440
There's another 10,000 veterans behind them and another 10,000 veterans behind them.
01:32:05.660
Okay, we made our commitment to hire 10,000 and we're almost there.
01:32:09.520
Now we'll just knock off and hire some refugees.
01:32:17.700
I mean, supposedly you're helping them and that's good.
01:32:20.880
But now you're willing to knock off in favor of refugees.
01:32:25.600
If you're going to hire another 10,000 people, why wouldn't you hire another 10,000 veterans?
01:32:31.420
Now, again, it's nice that you made the commitment to veterans.
01:32:38.420
In today's fake news world and corporate America saying whatever it is for marketing purposes, prove it to me.
01:32:50.540
List their partially redacted social security numbers.
01:33:00.340
Even if you do, remember, you still made the commitment for the next 10,000 people you hire or part of the next people you hire to be refugees.
01:33:09.940
Why wouldn't you say, hey, everybody, President Obama said this about the refugees and it's always great and, you know, we have our opinions about that.
01:33:19.520
We made a commitment to hire 10,000 veterans in 2013.
01:33:23.300
You know, we're almost at 9,000 and we could prove it to you.
01:33:26.260
But, you know, we're going to go another 10,000 now.
01:33:28.800
There is tens of thousands of veterans who need help.
01:33:35.560
This is simply Starbucks trying to get out of trouble because a lot of people are rightfully ticked off.
01:33:46.080
You are putting refugees above Americans and above America.
01:33:57.160
But not at the expense of Americans and certainly not putting them before Americans.
01:34:17.120
It makes us able to help more people in the future.
01:34:24.840
I'm sure Glenn would interview him at some point.
01:34:26.540
I can't speak for him, but I would be willing to bet he would.
01:34:30.140
So prove it to me, number one, or it's just there's no accountability.
01:34:58.160
Just saying there's still a lot of criticism to go around.
01:35:04.140
I'm tired of pussyfooting around about this stuff and corporate America and marketing.
01:35:11.300
This is not to make certain companies look good.
01:35:19.200
If you really cared about this, how come you're bitching about DACA and supporting that stuff instead of demanding they fix the VA?
01:35:30.120
You're coming at me like, oh, we made a commitment to veterans.
01:35:32.980
If you really cared about veterans, you wouldn't be pussyfooting around about DACA and caring about all this progressive stuff that Obama did instead of holding him accountable for not fixing the VA and George W. Bush for not fixing the VA.
01:35:47.620
Don't give me this crap like you care about veterans.
01:35:51.520
You obviously don't because you spent more time and press releases and your political capital with your company and probably actual capital with your company supporting Obama's progressive ideas like illegals even.
01:36:05.780
He could say right now, our commitment is veterans.
01:36:14.180
He could be using his influence with other companies, with the government, the people's money he pours pockets, the pockets he pours money into in D.C. saying, how come we're not fixing the VA?
01:36:26.000
Instead, he supported things like progressive ideas, like big socialized medicine.
01:36:39.460
It's a weak, at best, attempt to try to make your company look good.
01:37:03.240
The Veterans Administration has been screwing veterans since before it was the Veterans Administration and it was the Veterans Agency.
01:37:10.580
Since day one in America, veterans have been screwed.
01:37:20.460
I'm going to give you about six months, maybe a year.
01:37:49.340
But, I mean, stuff angers me when it's so damn simple.
01:37:52.900
And we get so much backlash from people and nonsense when we know there is a major problem.
01:37:59.280
And the only solution that's even ventured is maybe we should do more of that stuff that didn't work.
01:38:24.520
I own a small business, which is an engineering company.
01:38:27.600
A service disabled veteran owned small business.
01:38:43.040
That's an acronym for Gator Engineering and Aquifer Restoration.
01:38:47.060
Do you have a website, Twitter, Facebook, anything like that where people can find out more about you?
01:39:09.980
And thank you for being willing to hire vets, too.
01:39:13.280
How many people are you going to hire in the next five months or so?
01:39:33.860
Sometimes it takes a couple times, and I'll be willing to help you out, okay?
01:39:37.000
Thank you, and God bless you for what you're doing.
01:39:42.360
Yes, I got a couple of ones that I would like to read.
01:39:45.960
He runs an appliance repair business, and he wants to hire a veteran.
01:39:51.100
So if you go to Jim3Repair, so that's Jim3Repair.com, and you're a veteran, and you're here in Texas, he's going in the San Antonio area.
01:40:07.240
She says, we're a staffing agency, and we're in.
01:40:15.360
If you're in Miami, Florida, they're looking to hire five veterans that are into demolition, steel, and concrete work.
01:40:28.100
Oh, I thought it was a sideline, like demolition and that.
01:40:30.700
All you have to do is fax a resume to this number, fax a resume to 305-501-4760.
01:40:41.360
That number again is, one more time, that number again.
01:40:49.920
And again, these are all on Twitter if you just follow the hashtag, hire 10,000 veterans.
01:40:53.060
And there's a lot of people doing it, different companies, but those are the ones that are ready to go.
01:41:02.120
I can't rely on the government, apparently, to spend my tax dollars properly to run an agency that's supposed to help veterans.
01:41:14.400
We've done all kinds of things to help veterans.
01:41:24.940
Yeah, the Blaze actually, you know, partaked on that.
01:41:33.420
Yeah, and it's funny because you were talking about TBI.
01:41:58.340
No, not titanium, but they got like nuts and bolts and wires because I messed them up.
01:42:06.420
And then in the little machine, you know, where it has the highlighted area where it's always.
01:42:22.520
But yeah, I'm one of those guys that actually has been, it took me a month.
01:42:28.240
It took me about a year and a half just to get one appointment to get heartburn medicine.
01:42:35.640
Heartburn medicine, you know, it comes all the way from the middle of the earth.
01:42:38.660
I wasn't working, I was buying off the counter.
01:42:40.300
Well, as Cal pointed out, heartburn medicine comes from the center of the earth.
01:42:45.760
Yeah, especially if you've seen those commercials where the guy goes, you know, they're trying to.
01:42:50.420
But I mean, it's made from some very rare substances that you can only, I mean, you can't just go down to 7-Eleven and buy heartburn.
01:42:57.200
It's like one of those crystals here that Glenn has.
01:43:05.960
First of all, maybe that's something you could have just gone down to Target and gotten.
01:43:12.680
But you had the appointment, you had an issue, bottom line is, and you went to the VA.
01:43:39.940
Okay, so maybe they were just up front doing one then.
01:44:08.780
Well, but I mean, now that you can't, you can just pick up one right now.
01:44:13.200
No, it won't take because everybody did the physical.
01:44:19.440
So by changing, though, and being there in Texas, is it still waiting?
01:44:25.360
There's transferring all the paperwork from Florida to Texas because it's a brand new...
01:44:33.640
The VA in Florida is different than the VA in Texas.
01:44:46.660
And you see there's no train connect straight to Florida to Texas.
01:45:15.380
I mean, because I have heard stories of the people from the Veterans Administration saying
01:45:19.200
where they couldn't get files transferred, stuff like this, where you can't...
01:45:22.900
Well, when it comes like that, they have to mail your physical documents.
01:45:29.500
So, yes, they do have it online, but they always have to...
01:45:39.020
And that's one of the things most of the military people in the military life, they know that
01:45:42.640
you have to hand-carry your medical records when you move.
01:45:51.660
Okay, if it doesn't work, then you go, hey, I didn't get that.
01:46:06.260
And there's nobody there to step up and say, guys, we can just do this.
01:46:10.500
And by the way, if there's some reason we can't, why?
01:46:16.720
All right, now, did they try to put you on a bunch of meds?
01:46:19.440
They tried to give me, when they found out that I had PTSD, they tried to put me on.
01:46:22.620
I'm not talking about the self-prescribed stuff you were on.
01:46:31.900
That's what Jeffy makes people call him around the office.
01:46:36.360
And then you go out to the trunk of his car and he's like, here you go, I got this bag
01:46:39.480
When it's a bag full of, like, colorful pills, so it's like, just take this one with this
01:46:48.360
But yeah, they tried to put me on different medications.
01:46:50.540
But one of the things that I always, my faith, I always relied on my faith.
01:46:54.600
And one of the things that was like, you know what?
01:47:00.880
They were like, yeah, that's fine, but it's going to take longer.
01:47:08.180
If I don't have to, I don't, but so far it's been, I was two years in the treatment, four
01:47:17.900
And it's been amazing without any kind of, other than painkillers for my ankle surgeries,
01:47:24.320
but no antidepressants, no, nothing for my TBI, nothing for my, when it comes to anxiety.
01:47:35.800
And it kind of works for me because I love to talk.
01:47:39.580
So you should be paying the blaze then because you like to talk.
01:47:48.000
But what's, did you have any experience with, so you didn't actually get a lot of stuff prescribed
01:47:54.000
No, I did not get anything prescribed when it came to that stuff.
01:47:56.960
And the reason I asked that is because there are a bunch of veterans told me stories of
01:48:03.840
They ship them out to their house and they would send often the wrong meds and they'd call
01:48:10.120
And they're like, well, yeah, but because you touched it, even if you didn't open it,
01:48:16.340
You know, you don't want someone to slip with someone a Mickey and they're like, well,
01:48:20.860
So number one, they said a lot of times this happens.
01:48:25.360
So they're sending out these meds we're paying for.
01:48:27.680
Number two, you're just disposing them in the toilet and believing people will do that.
01:48:32.580
You know, I have to get a prescription to get antibiotics when I think I have a sinus
01:48:36.000
infection and you make me go through this, but you're just like, yeah, we sent you those
01:48:42.040
Just we trust you to get rid of them yourself by flushing them down the toilet.
01:48:46.540
And then third, stop flushing stuff down the toilet.
01:49:11.060
I'm thinking there's Sherry's Berries around here.
01:49:16.780
Well, I had some the first time they did it this week.

APR Coffee tweeting, if you can't hire anyone right now,
01:51:40.800
you can still hashtag hire 10,000 veterans by offering a discount
01:51:45.540
if you have a product or service, which I know they do as well.
01:51:54.460
Every time someone goes paperless, thousands of microbytes die.
01:52:12.600
Not every branch, not every local hospital within the VA system
01:52:20.680
I think they have the rest of them up by the end of the year.
01:52:23.060
They still got to, you know, phase out the telegrams.
01:52:34.640
But, you know, they hope to have that wrapped up this year.
01:52:37.180
D tweeting, two years I waited to get a tumor checked.
01:52:47.120
And you actually interviewed him for that little piece that you did for Fix the VA hashtag.
01:52:54.300
You actually interviewed him and me talking about the whole veterans.
01:53:01.900
Listen, I've had some health concerns where you're like.
01:53:07.460
And, I mean, it was like I waited two days to get tested to see if I had cancer.
01:53:17.160
I mean, you know, two days, two years, all the same, Chris, right?
01:53:21.400
I mean, I, but it was me that waited two days, you know.
01:53:26.600
LeCurion and tweeting, come on, at Doc Thompson, Joe,
01:53:29.080
do you realize how long it takes to transfer a VA database on five and a quarter floppies?
01:53:35.520
I mean, the discettes, when you load them up, I mean, how many do you get on a flatbed?
01:53:42.760
I'm just saying, maybe you don't transfer all of them.
01:53:46.540
You have them carry their own five and a quarter floppy.
01:53:50.000
Since they have to carry their paper, can we at least upgrade where they just carry their floppy with them?
01:54:05.520
Hashtag fix the VA and hashtag hire 10,000 veterans.
01:54:10.500
