The Glenn Beck Program - 'Humans Over Hornets'？ - 8⧸22⧸18

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

00:00:08.200 It's Wednesday, August 22nd.

00:00:10.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:12.720 I want to talk to you about what happened in Washington yesterday and what's happening

00:00:15.600 with the press and what's happening with America.

00:00:18.380 But I need you to listen because this is a nuanced conversation.

00:00:24.820 Um, because this is, this is not a, uh, I'm all on board with one thing or I'm all on

00:00:35.080 board for the other.

00:00:36.120 This is not all black and white and it is certainly not all one topic.

00:00:43.200 So I want to talk to you about what happened with the two convictions, uh, yesterday, uh,

00:00:49.360 and the way the Trump, uh, uh, media is handling it, the way the left media is happening, handling

00:00:56.460 it, why it matters or doesn't matter.

00:01:01.460 So let me start here.

00:01:03.000 First of all, Stu, help me out if I'm missing anybody.

00:01:07.040 Uh, Bannon, Flynn, Lewandowski, Cohen, Manafort, Roger Stone, all people we said, these are

00:01:16.120 not the best people, this is, this is going to, you want impeachment, forget about Hillary 0.96

00:01:23.180 Clinton impeachment.

00:01:24.200 They will never impeach her, but they will impeach Donald Trump because these people are

00:01:30.200 dirty.

00:01:31.280 It's certainly throw Omarosa in that mix. 1.00

00:01:33.900 Yeah.

00:01:34.520 Uh, as well.

00:01:35.480 Yeah.

00:01:35.780 But yeah, that's a, that's a good, good rundown.

00:01:37.340 These are the people that we warned against.

00:01:39.340 And we said there will be impeachment hearings because of the people he's surrounding himself

00:01:45.280 with Manafort in particular, but let's start with Cohen.

00:01:50.680 We knew who he was and I wasn't comfortable with a president who had somebody known as a

00:01:57.460 quote fixer.

00:02:00.040 That's not a normal thing to have.

00:02:02.440 That is something that you might have.

00:02:04.800 If you are used to really hard ball politics in a dirty city like New York, you might need

00:02:11.600 a fixer.

00:02:12.160 Now we played audio of him before, way before the election of the way he handled people and

00:02:20.140 the way he handled the press.

00:02:21.640 He's a dirty, awful guy.

00:02:24.780 Really bad.

00:02:26.040 Would not be counted as a friend of mine by any stretch of the imagination.

00:02:30.200 I wouldn't want to be at a party with this guy.

00:02:34.160 We know he plays dirty.

00:02:38.380 We know he did what he's being accused of.

00:02:42.360 He's now admitted it.

00:02:44.320 And the president knew.

00:02:47.540 And we know that.

00:02:49.320 I think it's, you know, let's not be the Democrats who were, you know, with Bill Clinton.

00:02:56.920 When Bill Clinton was in office, we all knew he was a dog.

00:03:03.020 There was a chance that maybe he had a turning point because he went on 60 minutes and he

00:03:08.380 said, I've had this epiphany and this turning point in my life.

00:03:11.800 And, you know, we've already talked about it and we're just trying to heal our marriage.

00:03:16.280 And so there was a point where I'm like, OK, let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

00:03:19.340 As we now know, that was not, that was just, that was politics.

00:03:22.640 That was just a show.

00:03:24.300 OK, we know, we knew and the Democrats knew that that's who he was and they didn't care.

00:03:33.660 Now, are we going to care about Cohen?

00:03:37.920 Does it matter?

00:03:40.120 It does to me.

00:03:42.220 It does to me that Cohen goes to jail.

00:03:44.840 Well, it does to me if the president colluded and broke the law, it does matter to me.

00:03:53.540 But.

00:03:55.700 Does it matter today?

00:03:59.000 In reality, in the world we're living in?

00:04:01.660 No.

00:04:02.720 And I'll explain why in a minute.

00:04:07.160 First of all, would Bush have been impeached for this crime?

00:04:15.420 Yes.

00:04:17.400 Would Clinton?

00:04:19.720 Maybe.

00:04:20.880 Would Obama?

00:04:22.380 Definitely not.

00:04:24.700 Would, uh, would, will Trump?

00:04:29.000 Call me the day after the election and I'll let you know.

00:04:33.160 It's, it's who controls the House.

00:04:35.940 If the Democrats control the House, they will impeach him.

00:04:38.960 But he will not be convicted because the Republicans control the Senate.

00:04:44.500 That's just the way it is.

00:04:47.460 It's really important to understand that America is not the same.

00:04:52.920 Basically, you cannot indict a sitting president.

00:04:57.100 An indictment for the sitting president is impeachment.

00:05:00.360 Okay.

00:05:01.200 That does not mean you're removed from office.

00:05:03.520 It first goes to the House and they issue their indictment, which is an impeachment, impeachment papers, which says you have to show up for this trial because we think you're guilty of something.

00:05:14.680 And then the trial is held in the Senate.

00:05:16.600 The president basically, if he wasn't the president, uh, would be a, would be labeled today a unindicted co-conspirator.

00:05:26.600 Uninspirator.

00:05:27.080 Uninspirator.

00:05:28.080 Uninspirator.

00:05:29.080 Uninspirator.

00:05:30.080 Uninspirator.

00:05:31.080 Let's take that and set it off to the side because it has nothing to do with Russia.

00:05:37.960 It has nothing to do with the Russian investigation.

00:05:40.880 It has nothing to do with collusion.

00:05:43.240 On that part, the president is right.

00:05:45.940 It has nothing to do with that.

00:05:53.400 It has everything to do with who this president is and who he is surrounded by.

00:05:59.380 But let's separate that from Russia. What Cohen is convicted of or about to be convicted of is paying off two women to influence the election at the request of the president, something that the president and Cohen both denied.

00:06:16.280 Now, if he had proof that the president colluded, you can bet that the the prosecutors would have given him a plea deal to to testify against the president, because that's a pretty big deal.

00:06:33.920 But he has no credibility. Now, the press is making this into a big deal.

00:06:38.580 Well, look, he didn't even make a plea deal. He didn't make a plea deal. And he fingered the president.

00:06:45.480 Yeah, but is anybody going to believe it? Was he lying then or is he lying now?

00:06:51.500 He has no credibility and obviously no nothing to back that up, no evidence, or I'm guessing he would have gotten a plea deal.

00:07:04.100 So we know we can't take his word for it.

00:07:09.660 But it does matter.

00:07:11.240 Manafort also has nothing to do with Russia.

00:07:18.980 It has nothing to do with collusion on this.

00:07:21.860 The president and the White House are right.

00:07:23.900 The best thing the president can do.

00:07:26.180 And if I were advising the president, I would say, make sure that you give another speech today where you're not praising Manafort.

00:07:34.540 Manafort give a speech to say, look, none of this happened.

00:07:38.660 What he was convicted of, none of it happened while he was with me.

00:07:42.680 This is all happening beforehand.

00:07:46.620 I guess there were some people who said, hey, don't hire Paul Manafort.

00:07:50.480 He's a really bad guy.

00:07:52.020 But I didn't listen to them and I hired him.

00:07:54.600 But I promptly fired him as well.

00:07:57.540 So none of this has anything to do.

00:08:02.180 He colluded with Russia. 0.58

00:08:03.780 But before Trump and his collusion with Russia was to enslave the Ukraine.

00:08:10.560 He's very corrupt.

00:08:13.320 So was Roger Stone.

00:08:15.180 They were partners.

00:08:16.980 Clearly guilty.

00:08:18.480 And he is not a good guy.

00:08:20.700 Now, here's where this is going to get dicey.

00:08:25.120 There's speculation.

00:08:26.540 And again, speculation.

00:08:28.120 So why are we even talking about it?

00:08:31.140 Because I think we need to be clear on what's happening.

00:08:35.680 There's speculation that Trump might pardon Manafort.

00:08:40.820 If he does on these particular charges that have nothing to do with Donald Trump, nothing to do with the election.

00:08:48.920 This is not a witch hunt.

00:08:50.700 This guy is a bad guy.

00:08:54.060 It's wrong.

00:08:56.080 And we'll have to deal with that with the president if indeed he does it.

00:09:01.180 But to pardon Manafort would be a gigantic mistake.

00:09:06.620 Now, can you make the case that this is a witch hunt?

00:09:10.080 Yeah.

00:09:10.620 If it wasn't Donald Trump, he probably if he was working for Hillary Clinton, he'd be a free man today.

00:09:16.620 We know that.

00:09:17.540 But that's a different topic.

00:09:20.700 So, what we know, none of this from Manafort involves Trump or candidate Trump involved in Russia at all.

00:09:33.680 So, here's why it should matter, but it won't.

00:09:40.200 Our president, no matter who they are, needs good, honest people around him.

00:09:49.380 I think he has gotten rid of all of the bad people pretty quickly.

00:09:52.920 They have imploded on him.

00:09:55.820 But he needs good, honest people, and we need transparency.

00:09:59.740 I make the same case that I made against Van Jones.

00:10:04.140 Look, I don't have a vendetta against Van Jones.

00:10:07.320 I didn't even want Van Jones fired.

00:10:09.460 The White House didn't want to answer those questions, so they instead fired Van Jones.

00:10:27.020 That's a problem.

00:10:29.160 We need transparency.

00:10:30.860 That's what America is really looking for when it comes to politicians. 0.89

00:10:35.540 If you're paying hush money before a campaign, people should know about it.

00:10:42.920 Now, we're living in a world where truth doesn't really matter anymore.

00:10:47.680 Look at Rose McGowan and Asia Argento.

00:10:51.660 You know that Asia admitted finally yesterday that, yes, okay, I did sleep with that 17-year-old.

00:10:58.620 Well, that's against the law.

00:11:00.460 And you just spent all this time denying it, blaming it on your dead boyfriend.

00:11:05.900 Are you kidding me?

00:11:09.200 She going to be held to the same standard as anybody else?

00:11:13.020 No, probably not.

00:11:15.900 That's the problem.

00:11:17.820 The problem is we don't trust anyone.

00:11:23.020 Republicans for a long time, and I speak to the left here because I need you to understand.

00:11:28.060 Republicans feel as though, and I believe it was fairly true, that we kept putting up Boy Scouts.

00:11:37.460 I mean, look at George Bush, a frickin' Boy Scout, okay, an Eagle Scout.

00:11:45.020 If he wasn't the stereotypical Eagle Scout, I promise to do my duty and, you know, do my, you know, the best of whatever.

00:11:52.100 I can't even remember it anymore.

00:11:54.280 To do my duty on my honor for God and my country.

00:11:58.060 But that's who he was.

00:12:00.660 And look, they made him into, you know, Darth Vader, the worst human ever to live.

00:12:07.360 Same thing with Mitt Romney.

00:12:10.580 Mitt Romney is literally an Eagle Scout.

00:12:14.100 And look what they made Mitt Romney. 0.99

00:12:16.180 He was the devil.

00:12:18.720 He was the most giving, honest, decent guy.

00:12:22.640 I disagree with him.

00:12:23.860 But you cannot say that this guy's character was flawed the way they tried to make it out to be.

00:12:31.460 That he was some greedy, rich guy.

00:12:33.260 He's the exact opposite of that.

00:12:35.840 So the Republicans felt like we're playing by the rules, but you're not.

00:12:40.640 You won't accept anybody. 0.98

00:12:42.860 I mean, they're against Mike Pence.

00:12:44.260 Mike Pence is worse than Donald Trump.

00:12:45.960 Wait a minute.

00:12:46.680 You just said Donald Trump is the worst human being ever to live.

00:12:50.980 He's a Nazi. 0.78

00:12:52.060 He's a white supremacist.

00:12:53.700 How bad does Mike Pence have to be to be worse than that?

00:12:58.880 But that's the way they treat everything.

00:13:00.720 Also, Republicans felt like we had to play by the rules and the Democrats didn't.

00:13:10.000 The IRS scandal.

00:13:11.500 Can you imagine if Donald Trump was doing this, using the IRS to target Democrats?

00:13:18.240 Do you think the press would be all over it?

00:13:20.560 Do you think if the if the president came out and said, hey, you know, that that really bad thing that happened where all those people died, including an ambassador that was caused by a film?

00:13:32.740 And he had the national security adviser and the secretary of state do the same lie.

00:13:40.080 And it was all documented that they changed this story.

00:13:43.400 Do you really think the press wouldn't care?

00:13:46.200 Do you think Benghazi would have been treated differently if it were Donald Trump?

00:13:51.340 Yes, of course.

00:13:55.460 We don't believe the people in the beltway.

00:13:58.100 We don't try to trust the other guy's president.

00:14:01.780 We don't trust the press.

00:14:06.140 My father said to me.

00:14:08.880 When I was very little and Nixon resigned.

00:14:13.920 My father said kind of to himself, and I heard it as we were watching that resignation.

00:14:21.520 My father said, this is bullcrap.

00:14:24.880 And I just looked at him and he said, they all do it.

00:14:28.140 He just got caught.

00:14:29.400 Man, that felt wrong.

00:14:31.000 I don't want my president.

00:14:32.280 I don't want all the presidents to do wrong things and get away with it.

00:14:36.880 But that is changed now.

00:14:38.800 Now it is they all do it, but the press only cares about when one side does it.

00:14:47.760 To me, that's worse.

00:14:50.560 That's worse.

00:14:52.020 And it's getting worse.

00:14:53.840 And I want to give you some examples because it's important for the left to understand why this won't matter to so many people on the right.

00:15:05.820 And until you understand this, it's only going to get worse.

00:15:12.300 We'll go there when we come back.

00:15:14.600 First, if you're trying to sell your house or you want to buy a new house someplace, I want you to go to realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:15:28.320 You're going to find the right real estate agent that's going to help you.

00:15:33.580 You can go through a buttload of real estate agents.

00:15:36.500 And most people just hire the first person.

00:15:38.700 And how do you even know what this person is?

00:15:41.480 Well, I see their ads everywhere.

00:15:42.840 What does that even mean?

00:15:44.600 You need to find the one who knows what your house is worth, who can can guide you on what updates have to be made, how to, you know, just fix the curb appeal of your house to get the most money out of it.

00:16:00.540 Then they have to have a really good marketing plan.

00:16:03.900 Well, that's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:16:06.580 If you want to find the person who knows your area, has long, long history of selling homes, fast and for top dollar, you need to find them at realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:16:19.840 Sell your home.

00:16:21.080 Buy the new home being the right home in the right area.

00:16:26.100 In the next 15 minutes, I'm going to explain to you and explain to the left and the media exactly why you can't figure out half of America.

00:16:50.220 Why you don't understand it.

00:16:52.440 And for you, anybody who's on the right, what's really going on?

00:16:58.560 Why you don't necessarily understand what's going on.

00:17:02.280 When we come to a recognition of the game that we all are playing and what our goals really are, then we could possibly break through some of this crap.

00:17:14.660 But it's getting worse.

00:17:16.680 We don't trust the people in Washington.

00:17:20.240 And so.

00:17:21.860 Let's look at it this way.

00:17:23.960 You have a big hornet's nest on your porch.

00:17:28.000 And you don't have any raid.

00:17:30.300 You don't have any any way to to to kill these things.

00:17:35.100 And they are just swarming in the front door is the only door you have in the house.

00:17:38.940 You got to do something.

00:17:41.280 At some point, if you'd have no other choice, somebody says, just give me a broomstick.

00:17:47.920 And you're like, no, no, no.

00:17:48.960 That's a really bad idea.

00:17:50.320 Then they'll swarm you and it'll be really bad.

00:17:52.920 Don't do it.

00:17:53.480 Well, we got to do something because we can't live like this with the with the hornet's nest.

00:17:57.820 They're building it right at the door.

00:17:59.700 Every time we go in, somebody is going to get stung.

00:18:01.960 We can't live this way.

00:18:03.460 Give me the broomstick.

00:18:04.360 No, don't do that.

00:18:05.540 That that's chaos.

00:18:06.920 That's really bad.

00:18:09.160 You got a better choice.

00:18:11.620 All right.

00:18:13.100 Here's a broomstick.

00:18:14.140 Right.

00:18:14.440 That's what's happening to us.

00:18:18.680 Donald Trump is the guy who said, just give me a stick.

00:18:22.100 Just give me the broomstick. 0.99

00:18:23.740 I'll take care of it.

00:18:25.680 We know we can't live this way.

00:18:29.300 No one is willing to call the exterminator or get a can of raid because everybody's in with the hornet's nest.

00:18:36.680 Everyone, everyone's profiting off of this giant hornet's condominium, and it will eventually go so far that the people who are living in the house are going to be told, you know what?

00:18:51.680 You're just living in the wrong house.

00:18:53.120 This house belongs really to the hornets.

00:18:55.520 They've they've they've built their nest right here and they're natural and they're really more important than you are.

00:19:02.920 When you know that that's the direction of the people around you.

00:19:10.840 You do say here, I've got an idea.

00:19:15.380 You're crazy enough.

00:19:18.300 I'm going to get you a broomstick. 1.00

00:19:20.180 Go out and hit that thing a few times.

00:19:23.080 OK, and if somebody is nuts enough to do it, I'm OK with it.

00:19:28.680 I'm not going to do it, but he will.

00:19:31.220 Well, that's where we are.

00:19:34.680 That's where we are.

00:19:36.500 And I want to make the case of.

00:19:39.880 Of the hornet's nest as our our option, the reason why Donald Trump is on the front porch doing something crazy with a stick.

00:19:50.860 It's not because we like it.

00:19:54.680 It's because we feel we have no other option.

00:19:58.140 I'll make that case next.

00:19:59.900 So the press will not understand why it doesn't matter to the to the right.

00:20:11.560 The news yesterday that came out, why it doesn't matter and why.

00:20:15.320 How can people be standing with Donald Trump?

00:20:18.340 They don't understand it because they refuse to look at the entire picture.

00:20:22.560 Half of this country feels like they not only haven't been listened to, but they have been mocked and ridiculed for a very long time.

00:20:31.340 They've been called stupid, uneducated.

00:20:33.580 They have been called dangerous, anti-government, all kinds of names.

00:20:41.220 We have been played over and over and over again, and people are done because they're seeing this hornet's nest on our front porch and they're seeing this hornet's nest.

00:20:56.660 And it involves the economy, economics, bailouts, a growing welfare state, the fundamental transformation of America, the ignoring of terrorists.

00:21:10.640 Do you know that the do you know that the police went in and they demolished the the death site or the the training camp in New Mexico?

00:21:20.620 Do you know that that's been demolished now?

00:21:22.760 Have you ever heard of a crime scene being demolished?

00:21:25.840 Very strange.

00:21:26.940 Very strange.

00:21:28.480 Very strange.

00:21:29.700 So people people know that our way of even thinking is under attack.

00:21:37.400 Lest I remind you of yesterday's program where we talked about what was it?

00:21:43.540 Frolls?

00:21:44.620 No, front holes, beholds.

00:21:46.340 Yeah.

00:21:47.360 Fraginas.

00:21:48.100 Yes.

00:21:48.520 Frenuses.

00:21:48.800 Frenuses where we have to change our language on everything.

00:21:53.020 We're seeing this fundamental transformation.

00:21:57.140 Antifa is being held up by CNN and others.

00:22:00.580 Cuomo saying, you know, hey, they're in the right.

00:22:03.140 They're morally.

00:22:03.760 Let me tell you something.

00:22:05.560 As Facebook is taking people down because of threatening language.

00:22:09.840 Let me read this.

00:22:10.840 This is from the Austin Antifa.

00:22:13.580 We encourage the formation of a paramilitary organization on two levels, first being those

00:22:21.140 who are mainly unarmed but are prepared and trained to carry out fist fighting or using

00:22:26.080 blunt weapons like axe handles or flagpoles, as well as shields and basic armoring.

00:22:31.960 The second level is more advanced embryo of a red army, which is trained militarily and operates 0.96

00:22:38.340 as soldiers all the time, engaging in production and mass work among the proletariat and oppressed

00:22:43.900 nations people.

00:22:44.860 It is time for Austin to stand up, shake the bad leadership, trying to impose itself on anti-fascism

00:22:51.220 and come together under a better model of actual resistance and not token performance.

00:22:56.720 When we organize and lead actions, the fascists do not march.

00:23:01.080 Every step they take is met with physical confrontation and they are bombarded from all sides.

00:23:07.580 On the basis of our principled, united front work, fascists and their collaborators can be drowned

00:23:15.620 out, run out, routed, beaten, bloody, and even annihilated.

00:23:21.880 These are our principles and we hold them true and we aim to hold them to the very finish.

00:23:31.020 That's the Facebook page of Austin Antifa.

00:23:35.580 Now, if Facebook were consistent and actually believed in what they were saying, these guys

00:23:45.520 would not be on here.

00:23:47.000 Antifa would be known what it is to the federal government as a domestic terror group.

00:23:54.220 But instead, they're being excused.

00:23:59.440 The media will not call people out on both sides fairly.

00:24:03.720 And one side is tired of playing by the rules because the other side hasn't played by them

00:24:10.220 for a long time.

00:24:11.120 We didn't understand it.

00:24:12.160 We didn't understand progressivism.

00:24:13.600 And our problem now is we don't understand progressivism is even a thing of the past.

00:24:17.500 We are now in the postmodern era, which changes all the rules.

00:24:21.180 But Americans are fair.

00:24:24.040 But because they don't understand postmodernism, they don't understand why fairness doesn't work.

00:24:30.480 And so we are losing that trait.

00:24:33.580 The O.J. Simpson trial is a great example.

00:24:37.040 If you were white, you didn't understand how people could stand on the sidewalk and cheer

00:24:41.300 for a killer, a guy who was clearly a killer.

00:24:46.040 Because it had nothing to do with O.J. Simpson.

00:24:48.860 Just like all of this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, has nothing to do with him.

00:24:52.920 It has everything to do with someone coming up on the porch with that stick and the hornet's nest.

00:25:00.700 O.J. Simpson beat the system that African-Americans said had oppressed them forever.

00:25:08.280 He beat the system.

00:25:10.160 That's what they were cheering, not him.

00:25:13.320 And they'll admit that now.

00:25:15.240 Unfortunately, history comes back and does not look at people who make decisions like that kindly, fondly.

00:25:24.400 We don't remember that as a good thing.

00:25:26.620 We can understand it, but it wasn't a good thing.

00:25:31.580 Donald Trump, I believe, would not have been elected had the Democrats been running a clean candidate who was a blue dog candidate. 0.81

00:25:42.200 But right now, Americans see our government officials and our media siding with Antifa.

00:25:53.260 Appearing to side with terrorists.

00:25:58.040 They don't have a problem with the border.

00:26:02.060 And yet, again, last night, Molly Tibbetts.

00:26:06.240 We find that here's an illegal alien that came into the country illegally.

00:26:12.200 Does that make all illegal immigrants killers? 0.90

00:26:15.640 No.

00:26:16.400 But here's a guy who shouldn't have been here.

00:26:18.720 Molly Tibbetts would be alive today if we had a secure border. 1.00

00:26:23.020 And it happens over and over again.

00:26:25.120 And the media doesn't care.

00:26:27.460 Instead, they'll hold town halls on the Second Amendment. 0.99

00:26:33.540 We're not talking a welfare state anymore.

00:26:36.700 Democrats and the media are now talking about democratic socialism.

00:26:41.960 That is not what's happening in Sweden and Denmark.

00:26:47.160 That is radical to the people in the Netherlands.

00:26:51.360 The Netherlands is a giant welfare state.

00:26:54.620 We're talking now about getting rid of capitalism.

00:27:02.400 So now, why would people support Donald Trump?

00:27:09.040 Because there is too much at risk.

00:27:12.500 I don't trust the media.

00:27:15.180 I don't trust the Democrats.

00:27:17.560 I don't trust the Republicans.

00:27:19.300 I don't trust Donald Trump.

00:27:22.160 But I know that Donald Trump is not trying to kill capitalism.

00:27:28.120 Look, I want to make this clear.

00:27:31.000 The media is not responsible or not to blame.

00:27:36.900 And I know if anybody writes this story, they're going to say,

00:27:39.360 Glenn Beck blames the media.

00:27:40.840 No, they're not to blame for this.

00:27:42.840 Cohen, Manafort, and the president.

00:27:48.440 All of the president's problems boil down to the people who are involved.

00:27:53.200 Manafort, Cohen, and the president.

00:27:55.980 Period.

00:27:57.960 But the media played a huge role in his election.

00:28:02.220 And why so many people will stand by him.

00:28:05.480 If they would just stop praising Antifa and call them for what they are.

00:28:12.000 If they would stop trying to change the world into this post-modernist form.

00:28:21.280 We might actually listen to them.

00:28:24.880 When the president says they're the enemy of the people.

00:28:28.220 No.

00:28:30.100 But they are an enemy to Western civilization.

00:28:34.380 If they don't stop on this track.

00:28:38.020 Post-modernism is designed to correct the world's greatest error of the Western civilization.

00:28:48.700 It is designed to take it apart.

00:28:52.240 And so every time the media or the left plays into the fourth wave feminists like Linda Sarsour. 1.00

00:29:01.180 However, you're killing us.

00:29:04.040 You're killing us.

00:29:04.900 And you're driving people into the arms of anybody who will step onto our porch and say, I'll get rid of that hornet's nest.

00:29:11.640 Because we know that all the people, all the bug spray people, they're coming.

00:29:19.560 And they're not really bug spray people.

00:29:21.360 They're in with the bugs.

00:29:22.860 They're in with the hornets.

00:29:24.720 And they're coming.

00:29:25.880 And they're going to say, you know what?

00:29:27.560 You don't even belong in this house.

00:29:29.080 The hornets were here long before you were.

00:29:32.440 Hornets are natural.

00:29:33.740 And where they go, they go.

00:29:35.320 I mean, you can go anywhere.

00:29:36.460 So you lose your house.

00:29:37.640 Get out.

00:29:38.940 And you know what?

00:29:39.940 I say this as a crazy example.

00:29:41.880 But there are many of us who believe that's exactly where we're headed.

00:29:48.220 And we don't believe the press will stand up for humans over hornets.

00:29:54.460 We don't believe the Democrats will stand up for humans over hornets.

00:30:01.320 And that's why.

00:30:04.020 We know who he is.

00:30:06.680 We've baked all this in.

00:30:08.260 We know that Cohen, anybody who is, anybody today who's saying, well, I'm not sure if

00:30:13.300 the president really did have sex, please. 0.96

00:30:16.560 I'm not sure if he really did, you know, pay off it, please.

00:30:21.900 We know who he is.

00:30:24.680 We've baked it in.

00:30:27.000 We've made our choice.

00:30:28.540 Because we find post-modernism more dangerous than him.

00:30:35.540 We see the fundamental transformation of our nation and we don't like it.

00:30:42.180 And we find the fundamental transformation of America where there is no enlightenment.

00:30:49.180 There is no reason.

00:30:51.560 There is only bullying and pushing and shoving and shooting until everyone agrees with whatever

00:30:59.500 the political correct term of the day is, they don't want any of it.

00:31:04.720 And they find that much more dangerous.

00:31:08.660 What we have to understand is that we are the people.

00:31:16.720 who stood and cheered for OJ Simpson.

00:31:23.300 And we have to explain to the left why we're standing and cheering and we have to do it

00:31:29.300 without vengeance.

00:31:30.380 And we shouldn't be cheering.

00:31:31.260 We should not be cheering.

00:31:32.980 We should be explaining why we got here.

00:31:37.300 In hopes that somebody will actually listen and say, okay, okay, I understand that.

00:31:43.560 All right, let's work together to fix that.

00:31:46.900 Because we don't want to be cheering for OJ Simpson.

00:31:50.560 We don't want to be cheering if Donald Trump pardons Manafort, which he should not do.

00:31:56.420 Because here's what, here's what's crazy.

00:32:01.880 Because we are so angry, we are so outraged.

00:32:07.780 And because we are standing for a righteous cause, the stopping of the fundamental transformation

00:32:15.880 of the United States and the Western world into something that is not Western.

00:32:23.340 Because we're standing up for that.

00:32:26.420 We are not realizing that the tools that we are using, the anger, the outrage, the people

00:32:36.500 that we're standing up for and defending, the things that we're saying, yeah, we can silence

00:32:42.100 that person.

00:32:44.460 We are actually fundamentally transforming America as well, just in a different way.

00:32:52.740 I want the America that believed in fairness.

00:32:59.020 I want the America that sees everyone as an individual.

00:33:03.380 I want the America that has compassion.

00:33:06.360 I want the America that can listen to both sides.

00:33:09.740 I want the America that was based in common sense and reason, science.

00:33:20.600 And right now, neither side is leading us to that America.

00:33:27.680 Our hearts go out to the good people in the wildfires in California.

00:33:42.720 I don't know if you saw the TV show last night, if you should.

00:33:45.060 But it was all on global warming and how fires are getting worse, except they're not.

00:33:51.000 How the temperatures are getting so hot in California, which they're not.

00:33:56.060 That's causing all kinds of fires all over the world, which it isn't.

00:34:00.600 Incredible.

00:34:01.300 I mean, there's the stats on it are awesome.

00:34:03.880 Watching that and after watching the media coverage of this over the past few weeks is

00:34:07.820 it's just incredible what they leave out intentionally so you get a different impression.

00:34:12.660 Yeah, you should you should check that out of the blaze dot com.

00:34:15.060 It was last night's last night show.

00:34:17.180 I want to talk to you a little bit about the fires because I want to talk to you about filter by which is our sponsor this half hour.

00:34:24.040 The fires are, you know, the worst air quality in Seattle ever happened because the forests are all on fire and all that smoke is blowing and is blowing all the way across the country.

00:34:34.380 Just a couple of days ago, the forest fire smoke actually hit Washington, D.C. and and Baltimore.

00:34:41.440 Now, you may not have noticed it, but believe me, your lungs did.

00:34:45.680 And so did your HVAC system.

00:34:47.580 We have to change our HVAC system filters.

00:34:50.660 Otherwise, it just causes a huge drain and it also doesn't it doesn't work right.

00:34:56.620 It doesn't filter out all the crap that you shouldn't be breathing in. 0.92

00:34:59.620 America has the leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses right here in our own country.

00:35:08.360 It is filter by filter.

00:35:10.380 B.U.Y. dot com.

00:35:11.860 They carry over 600 sizes.

00:35:13.560 They ship for free within 24 hours.

00:35:15.360 They're all made right here in America. 0.99

00:35:17.560 Plus, you can just subscribe and say, look, I want it according to the manufacturer rulers rules on sending them to me.

00:35:24.860 But I don't even know what it is every six months.

00:35:26.800 So they just send it arrives your door and you're like, oh, and you just replace the filter and throw the other one away.

00:35:31.620 And you'll save five percent off the order.

00:35:33.900 If you if you sign up like that, save time, save money, breathe better.

00:35:38.620 Preserve your HVAC system with filter by dot com.

00:35:42.680 That's filter. 1.00

00:35:43.340 B.U.Y.

00:35:44.400 Dot com.

00:35:47.560 Glenn Beck.

00:35:49.180 So glad you're here.

00:35:50.520 Thank you so much for listening to us.

00:35:52.260 We really appreciate it.

00:35:53.780 We work hard on our shows every day to bring you the best information, the most information that we can possibly squeeze in.

00:36:01.160 But more importantly, not our opinion, but our perspective on things.

00:36:04.560 And, you know, that's when things get a little dicey.

00:36:07.000 But if you're not listening to somebody who's challenging what you think you believe, then you're not growing.

00:36:12.640 I know I I know I do all the time.

00:36:15.260 I challenge myself all the time to learn something new and to look at it from a different perspective.

00:36:22.020 And it's not changing my viewpoint.

00:36:24.740 But I think it is making me a better broadcaster and a better human being, a better citizen.

00:36:30.940 And that's where we we need to get.

00:36:37.480 Glenn Beck.

00:36:39.180 So are you a zero or a one?

00:36:42.240 Facebook wants to know Facebook is they have a new reputation score and you'll either be a one or a zero.

00:36:48.380 For a year now, Facebook has been developing a system to rate the trustworthiness of you, the user.

00:36:56.820 People are apparently given a trustworthy score of a scale to from one to zero or zero to one, whichever way you'd like to look at that, because we all look at things differently now.

00:37:07.480 Or do we now?

00:37:09.440 I'm no math genius, but it seems like that's a pretty small scale.

00:37:15.140 Don't you think, Stu?

00:37:16.760 And do you think we're a zero or a one?

00:37:21.220 It's binary.

00:37:22.600 We don't live in a binary world.

00:37:25.420 Looks like the choice is either you're trustworthy or you're a liar.

00:37:29.340 Now, why is Facebook doing this?

00:37:31.260 Because we're not supposed to judge people.

00:37:33.400 No, no, no.

00:37:34.520 No.

00:37:35.040 And how can people be assigned to this binary trustworthy rating in a postmodern world of gender fluidity and front holes? 0.70

00:37:42.220 Honestly, I assume they're using decimals.

00:37:45.140 Here, right?

00:37:46.400 Like you're a point.

00:37:47.180 You could be a point seven or a point three.

00:37:49.380 I don't know.

00:37:50.100 Maybe I don't know.

00:37:52.000 Why not just make it a scale one to ten?

00:37:54.480 One to zero.

00:37:55.660 That's a good point.

00:37:56.280 Supposedly, Facebook is just trying to measure user credibility to help identify anybody who might be malicious.

00:38:02.760 I want to know my score.

00:38:05.000 I want to know my score.

00:38:07.380 The whole effort is driven by the whole election, you know, Russia fake news fiasco.

00:38:12.480 But it's never ending.

00:38:14.100 And it's a battle that is going to just continue to heat up because no matter what Facebook comes up with, people game the system.

00:38:23.380 In 2015, for example, Facebook gave the users the ability to report a post as false.

00:38:30.040 Well, at first, any post marked false was forwarded to a third party fact checker.

00:38:36.180 Then a lot of users just were like, wait a minute, we can just mark this untrue because they disagreed with the person or the company posting the content.

00:38:44.580 Now it's common for Facebook users on the left and the right to target publishers by flagging stories as false.

00:38:51.800 The third party fact checkers were inundated.

00:38:54.960 So Facebook built a system to try to determine if a post is likely to be false, you know, to save the actual human some time.

00:39:03.680 But then Facebook went a step further and developed a way to assess whether users who were flagging posts as false were trustworthy themselves.

00:39:11.960 Facebook is now monitoring users that flag a lot of published content as false.

00:39:18.420 They're also looking at the data to discover which publishers users consider to be trustworthy.

00:39:24.260 The Washington Post first reported the story yesterday, but Facebook will not reveal what else it tracks to determine, you know, your reputation.

00:39:33.080 They also wouldn't say whether every Facebook user has a score or how the scores are used, why it's so secretive.

00:39:39.600 Facebook is afraid that if it's too transparent about this, it'll enable hostile users to further game the system.

00:39:46.800 How about we take the gaming out of this?

00:39:48.940 How about you just allow us to adjust the algorithm to suit us?

00:39:53.720 How about that one?

00:39:54.680 I mean, in a world of customization, why don't you just build the platform?

00:39:58.780 Because that's what you promised us you were doing.

00:40:00.780 Otherwise, man, you would be responsible for a lot of lawsuits, wouldn't you?

00:40:07.380 Yeah, that's right.

00:40:07.840 You can't be held responsible for anything that people say because you're just a platform.

00:40:11.640 Okay.

00:40:12.260 You're not a publisher.

00:40:13.520 So we, the publishers, why can't we have access and say, I want a little more of this or a little less of this?

00:40:21.120 Because who are you to tell me what I want?

00:40:25.540 Imagine somewhere deep in the vault at Facebook, your profile may have the iconic like symbol next to it, or it may have a thumbs down.

00:40:37.560 Now, let me ask you this question.

00:40:39.700 If you're a conservative, how likely is it that you have a one or a thumbs up?

00:40:46.300 It's Wednesday, August 22nd.

00:40:54.460 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:57.140 So Arthur Herman was on with us yesterday, senior fellow of the Hudson Institute.

00:41:02.440 He wrote the book Freedom's Forge, which I had him on yesterday to talk about, and we never got around to talking about it because there was so much other stuff to talk to him about.

00:41:11.500 I think he is, he's one of my favorite historians, favorite writer on history.

00:41:16.580 Freedom's Forge is an absolute must read, and we never got around to it.

00:41:20.740 And now, Arthur, I had you on today to talk about Freedom's Forge, but I don't think we're going to make it today either.

00:41:28.240 I just don't think so.

00:41:30.000 I'm just saying, with the news of the day and everything that is happening with the Trump White House,

00:41:37.640 I was wondering if there's anything in history that we can use as a benchmark for what's going on.

00:41:45.400 It's going to be tough to do.

00:41:47.180 We're definitely in uncharted territory, and I think that's one of the things that scares conventional minds.

00:41:53.140 Well, can we start here?

00:41:54.960 Which you are not, which you are not.

00:41:56.620 And it's also what scares the media, because they, like the Washington establishment, prefer a political landscape which is highly predictable.

00:42:06.620 And it follows the usual patterns and in which the usual alliances, both ideological as well as practical in a political sense,

00:42:17.700 are pretty much what they have been for the last couple of decades.

00:42:22.120 And Trump has destroyed all that, and this is the real point, isn't it, Glenn?

00:42:26.940 It's his voters have destroyed all that.

00:42:29.360 They think by going after Trump that somehow, if they get rid of Trump, things will go back to normal, what they see as their normal.

00:42:37.080 And this is not true.

00:42:38.020 Trump is not the cause of the disruption that's roiling our politics today and our culture.

00:42:44.780 He is symptomatic of it.

00:42:47.360 And he was sent there with a mission by his voters to, they said, we need a bull in this china shop because we've got the china shop has a lot of crockery that badly needs breaking. 0.82

00:43:00.660 And so all of these scandals that are now, you know, supposedly surrounding his links to Cohen and Manafort and Cohen one is, I think, the more the more pertinent right now because of their long relationship.

00:43:17.420 But the point is, is that voters discounted this in 2016.

00:43:22.000 So they're not going to be moved by this.

00:43:24.160 And I think it'll be, I think once again, we'll have predictions by media and candidates that at long last we have found, we've found the magic bullet that will, that will kill the Trump presidency.

00:43:37.440 We'll never have to deal with him again.

00:43:38.940 And I think they're going to be wrong.

00:43:40.280 So last hour, I likened him and our support of Donald Trump as we're living in a house and there's a giant hornet's nest right by our front door.

00:43:49.280 And it's the only door we can use.

00:43:50.720 And we know that all of the people who are said to, you know, be the bug, you know, killers and bug removal systems and everything else, they're all in with the hornets and they're all, they're all coming to the house to tell us, you know what?

00:44:05.340 The hornets are protected and, and you really, they were here long before you.

00:44:09.700 So you don't belong in the house as much as the hornets do.

00:44:12.280 So we know we're about to lose our house to crazy people.

00:44:15.460 And there's somebody in the house who we don't necessarily like, and we don't necessarily think is the best.

00:44:21.620 We don't always agree with them, but he's like, you know what, before they get here, give me a broom.

00:44:25.920 I'm going to take that out.

00:44:27.800 And you're thinking that's a bad idea, but not taking it out is going to be worse.

00:44:34.940 Yeah.

00:44:35.360 I think I like your, I like your metaphor.

00:44:37.060 Um, and I think it describes exactly the relationship between Trump and his voters.

00:44:43.000 It goes back to what we were talking about yesterday, doesn't it?

00:44:45.660 Uh, that when you look at the great public figures, and I think Donald Trump is going to emerge as one of our most significant presidents.

00:44:54.980 Um, certainly the most significant in, in the last 50 years.

00:45:01.520 How do you mean that?

00:45:02.400 Because since Reagan, I think, I think Barack Obama was significant, really significant.

00:45:07.060 Well, perhaps in a, perhaps in a negative way, but I mean, in a sense of Trump is really kind of totally reshaping the political landscape.

00:45:15.580 Obama's, what Obama did in his eight years was to work within the existing political landscape to make certain changes in society, uh, in culture, the whole growth of the deep state that took place during his tenure.

00:45:31.300 All of these were done in ways that didn't disturb or roil the, uh, conventional institutions within which Washington operates.

00:45:40.980 And this is one of the reasons why he was able to get away with it.

00:45:43.340 And, uh, in, but at the same time, what you saw was a growing revolt in the country itself.

00:45:49.880 We saw that, didn't we, in the midterms.

00:45:51.600 The midterms is where, is where you could see the wave of change coming that would ultimately, uh, put Trump into power.

00:45:58.720 It started with the Tea Party, which, as you know, Republican Party establishment ignored and then tried to suppress.

00:46:05.760 Uh, it came again in those, in those, those pivotal midterms in, in 2014, when it really became clear that there was going to be big changes coming in Washington.

00:46:16.180 And Trump was, uh, it was the crest of that wave.

00:46:19.640 But let's go back to the question about where Trump is with regard to his voters.

00:46:24.520 They sent him in to, uh, to do a job.

00:46:28.760 And they were perfectly aware of the fact the man had, was, had a less than perfect past.

00:46:35.880 Uh, they were perfectly aware that, for example, our evangelical friends, of the fact that Trump certainly doesn't fit the, the, the, the, the, uh, the stereotype of what a candidate that.

00:46:47.540 You are so kind.

00:46:49.040 You are so kind.

00:46:50.600 It doesn't fit at all.

00:46:51.340 But they saw through the attempts, and they, I think they do today, the attempts to make, to shame them into abandoning Trump because of his relationships alleged or, or real with porn stars or his behavior and inappropriate kinds of ways.

00:47:09.480 They know what's going on.

00:47:10.900 That what they're trying to do is to break the Trump coalition on the, on, on the wheel of morality.

00:47:17.980 And they see through that.

00:47:19.600 They understand it.

00:47:20.580 This is the way in which Republican, uh, hopefuls and the last round of best hopes for changing Washington had been broken and destroyed.

00:47:28.620 And they see the pattern that's taking place now.

00:47:31.000 Now, the, the, the, the pursuit of Donald Trump, the indictment against Chris Collins, the indictment against, uh, Duncan Hunter.

00:47:40.800 I don't know if it's a indictment yet, but on campaign finance reform, is this purely coincidental that, that the, that the, that the, that the earliest supporters of Donald Trump should find themselves.

00:47:50.580 In this kind of legal trouble is this, is this just simply that, uh, one day the, uh, justice department had a look and said, Oh, look, these guys may be violating the campaign finance reform.

00:48:02.060 Uh, when others walk away, Rosie O'Donnell is a, Rosie O'Donnell is a great example.

00:48:08.100 Example.

00:48:08.600 And look at Barack Obama.

00:48:09.920 He had $2 million, $2 million of contributions, which were deemed illegal.

00:48:15.580 And, uh, he was able to walk away with a fine in the process.

00:48:20.020 They understand what's underway here.

00:48:22.160 And yet, Glenn, what I'm going to say is, you know, it goes back to our theme that we were talking about yesterday.

00:48:26.720 And the theme, I think of almost all my books, again, the issue of optimism.

00:48:31.220 Look, no one, I think not even on the, even not even on the, on the left wants what's happening today.

00:48:39.660 Everybody wants the nightmare we find ourselves to go away.

00:48:43.200 The left and the media and Democrats think they're going to make it go away by getting rid of Trump.

00:48:49.120 You know, we just get that guy out of there.

00:48:51.000 Then all of things will return to normal.

00:48:53.120 They're wrong about that.

00:48:54.180 And I think the Trump supporters want this to go away by having the left and the Democrats in the media and the never-Trumpers and the Republicans accept the fact that the man is elected president.

00:49:07.300 Let him do his job.

00:49:09.240 Let's, let's let a president do what we sent him there to do.

00:49:13.020 And the fact is, they're wrong, too.

00:49:15.380 The left and the Democrats in the media are never going to accept Trump.

00:49:18.480 It's going to get worse before it gets better, I'm afraid.

00:49:21.060 But the fact that we all recognize the fact that we don't want to be here, that this is not healthy for our country, I think, is a sign that at the end of all of this and at the end of all of the broken crockery, as I was saying before,

00:49:36.680 and the end of the, of how this all unfolds, including the midterms in November, that at the end of it, I think we are going to come out okay, just a very different, and I think, and I hope, a better and healthier country at the end of it.

00:49:51.980 Arthur, I've only got about a minute and a half left.

00:49:54.900 See, I don't know if you can answer this question.

00:49:57.100 Um, you know, I know you studied, uh, you know, the, uh, early progressive movement with Woodrow Wilson.

00:50:04.060 Uh, you, you, you know how the violence reared its head in the sixties, also in the 1930s, uh, with the uprising of communists and America always, once it starts to see that violence and sees how radical things really are, Americans always recoil from it.

00:50:23.620 Um, do you think that we're going to recoil from, from the antiphaz and the democratic socialists this time, or has the university system done its job?

00:50:37.180 That's a very good question.

00:50:38.920 You put your, put your finger on one of the key aspects of this, in that this isn't just a revolt by the Trump supporters against the Washington establishment.

00:50:47.560 It's also revolt on the part of the left.

00:50:49.580 The Washington establishment thinks that they can recruit the left in order to defeat Trump on the right.

00:50:54.780 And I think they're wrong.

00:50:55.860 They're the next targets and they don't realize that quite yet.

00:50:59.040 I think we will pull back.

00:51:00.620 We did not pull back in 1860.

00:51:02.960 And the reason is because we had a powerful, uh, section of the country, the South, which was willing to pull the country apart because they saw a brighter future in that happening.

00:51:13.440 I don't see anyone in that position right now.

00:51:16.700 I think that the, what people talk about the civil war here, what we're talking about is a series of, of verbal civil wars of a divided nation.

00:51:26.440 There's no doubt about that.

00:51:27.800 We've been there before.

00:51:29.100 It's just never been as pervasive in our culture and been as omnipresent thanks to social media and the main and cable news in the way in which it is today.

00:51:37.860 I think that, but what I fear is, is that we're going to have one of those awful moments in which there's real serious violence in some place or somewhere.

00:51:47.320 And then someone has to step forward and say, we just can't go on like this.

00:51:50.880 I don't see that happening quite yet, but I think for now, we're still in a process, as I was saying yesterday, in which it's going to be a fight to the finish between Trump and his opponents.

00:52:02.820 And the midterms are not going to give us, whichever way they turn out, are not going to make this issue go away.

00:52:12.040 The left is not going to accept Trump, even if Republicans hold on to the House and Senate.

00:52:17.660 And Trump is going to be right where it is, and Democrats won't be able to get him out, even if they do win the House.

00:52:24.440 Arthur.

00:52:24.580 We're in for a siege.

00:52:25.920 We're in for interesting times.

00:52:27.220 I know.

00:52:27.880 I appreciate your patience with me, and I'm going to talk to you about Freedom's Forge on one of these.

00:52:33.220 Don't believe him.

00:52:33.880 He's never going to ask you about Freedom's Forge.

00:52:35.980 It's not going to happen.

00:52:36.720 It's one of my favorite books.

00:52:38.120 I love it.

00:52:39.080 I know Glenn Beck's word is his bond.

00:52:41.280 Yeah.

00:52:41.680 So, Arthur, we'll have you on again.

00:52:43.480 Thank you so much.

00:52:44.380 God bless.

00:52:44.940 Look forward to it.

00:52:45.700 Cheers.

00:52:46.400 By the way, he is not trying to sell that.

00:52:48.300 There's a real point.

00:52:49.840 The book came out like 2012, so he's not calling us up.

00:52:54.400 I'm calling him up.

00:52:55.200 I want to talk to you about Freedom's Forge.

00:52:57.740 Yeah.

00:52:58.540 There's too much to talk to this guy about.

00:53:00.940 He's really brilliant.

00:53:02.260 Read Freedom's Forge.

00:53:04.280 All right.

00:53:05.480 CarShield, our sponsor this half hour, if you've ever taken your car in.

00:53:09.780 And, Stu, I think of you all the time, because we were in exactly the same situation when we first met.

00:53:14.740 We were both broke losers.

00:53:17.680 I mean, no.

00:53:18.140 Well, you had a career that had collapsed.

00:53:20.420 I didn't have a career yet.

00:53:21.860 Yes.

00:53:22.200 So, we weren't exactly the same.

00:53:23.020 I weren't exact.

00:53:23.620 I was more of the loser.

00:53:25.740 We were both broke.

00:53:26.600 Oh, I was a loser, too, but just in a different way.

00:53:29.040 All right.

00:53:29.280 So, we lived in the same apartment complex, and it was, and our cars were always something that we always worried about, because we were like, we had no money to fix it.

00:53:39.160 If something happened, no money to fix it.

00:53:41.920 Yeah.

00:53:42.600 I mean, when you have those moments when you're living like that, and it's paycheck to paycheck, and something big pops up, you're just screwed.

00:53:50.220 You don't even know what to do.

00:53:51.340 Yeah.

00:53:51.520 And it winds up going multiple years of difficulty to try to pay it back and deal with all the interests.

00:53:57.700 And it's a disaster.

00:53:58.540 You're a hitman working for the mob, and it was a small time in my life.

00:54:02.760 I don't know why you keep bringing it up.

00:54:04.460 Carshield.com can make sure that you don't, you know, have to lead a life of crime.

00:54:08.820 If something happens to your car, don't worry about it.

00:54:35.700 Call 1-800-CAR-6100.

00:54:38.060 1-800-CAR-6100.

00:54:40.480 Get yourself covered before you're sitting in that horrible situation.

00:54:45.100 Carshield.com.

00:54:46.280 That's carshield.com.

00:54:48.180 Use the promo code BECK.

00:54:52.220 Another reason, I think we can safely say to the press, another reason why you are to blame for Donald Trump.

00:55:02.460 You know, they try to blame, oh, Glenn Beck and Molly, blah, blah, blah, blah, you're to blame.

00:55:06.440 You said, no, uh-uh, you did.

00:55:09.040 You did.

00:55:09.860 And here's why.

00:55:11.600 Notice the coverage of Molly Tibbetts.

00:55:13.940 Hmm.

00:55:15.340 Now, this is something that actually affects average Americans.

00:55:19.700 Molly Tibbetts has been missing.

00:55:22.740 She was in Iowa.

00:55:23.980 Uh, it appears now she was kidnapped by an illegal alien who had been here for six years.

00:55:29.320 Maybe a dreamer.

00:55:31.740 Um, he slaughtered her.

00:55:34.860 Kidnapped and slaughtered her.

00:55:36.040 Where is the, where is the town hall for the number of people who have been killed by illegal aliens?

00:55:46.140 Where is the town hall saying, we have to get a handle on this?

00:55:51.920 This, this doesn't make all illegal aliens bad.

00:55:55.060 It just means, here's somebody that shouldn't have been here, wouldn't have been here, that was.

00:56:03.580 Now, we're not going to root out all the bad ones by, you know, having a system of checks and balances and, you know, an orderly system.

00:56:10.480 But we can greatly reduce this.

00:56:13.120 They're not covering that.

00:56:14.340 And to this point, uh, MS-13 has killed over four times as many people as, that have been killed in school shootings.

00:56:22.080 Where's your town hall?

00:56:23.460 Where, where's that?

00:56:24.860 That's why people rallied around Donald Trump when he said, build a wall.

00:56:30.100 Because you're not even recognizing what's really going on.

00:56:34.400 When you walk in to buy a car, you really don't have a choice of what salesperson you use.

00:56:38.780 In most instances, whoever walks up to you kind of has the rights to you.

00:56:43.000 And you negotiate with that person.

00:56:44.580 And if you're going down the wrong road half an hour in, most people are just going to stick with it and ride it out and suck it up and deal with it.

00:56:52.720 You don't have to do that with real estate agents.

00:56:54.980 You can go another way.

00:56:55.980 You can go with someone who's already been screened, who already has been qualified by a pretty intense system from realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:04.180 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com and find one of the 1,200 agents all over America that have already been qualified that, you know, share your values.

00:57:13.100 A lot of these people listen to the show.

00:57:14.600 They understand business, how it's supposed to be done and how it was done in the past.

00:57:20.820 And they make sure that you can get the right real estate agent.

00:57:24.060 They make sure you get the right deal for your house.

00:57:26.300 And they make sure you're treated with respect.

00:57:28.320 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com if you need to sell your house fast and for the most money.

00:57:32.460 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:57:37.080 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:38.880 So we have a lot of heavy lifting to do.

00:57:42.100 If you're a conservative, you have a lot of heavy lifting to do.

00:57:46.560 And that is educating your friends on what else in the world is happening.

00:57:51.660 Because there's a lot going on that, you know, CNN and everybody else, they'll cover, but they'll move past it so quick.

00:57:58.220 In fact, let me play how MSNBC last night referred to Molly Tibbetts, or Tibbetts, how they referred to Molly Tibbetts, this girl who was kidnapped and killed by an illegal alien.

00:58:18.820 Listen to what they said.

00:58:19.580 The fact that he was even sworn in as president after the Access Hollywood tape let me know for a fact that the Republican Party is actually not working on behalf of the American people.

00:58:27.580 They are working on behalf of Donald Trump.

00:58:29.560 And he's been able to bully them into their silence.

00:58:31.500 And I don't think that today changes much, unfortunately.

00:58:34.000 I'm sure we'll hear what he has to say about this at his rally.

00:58:37.580 But Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl in Iowa and not this, right?

00:58:42.200 And tomorrow morning we know he'll wake up and tweet and sort of, you know, besmirch the reputation of Michael Cohen and all the people around him and really go back to Mueller.

00:58:49.520 And this is obviously going to boil down to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

00:58:52.740 There's no need to besmirch the reputation of Michael Cohen.

00:58:55.700 He's done that long before, you know, years and years and years ago, which is a problem of why you would hire him and want him nearby you in the first place.

00:59:03.060 But to be but to talk about, you know, Fox News talking about some girl in Iowa.

00:59:06.760 Yeah.

00:59:07.600 Excuse me.

00:59:09.360 This this is not just some random killing.

00:59:13.760 I don't like it when when the press does, you know, when the press brings up something that is local and has no connection to anything else that's going on in the country.

00:59:22.840 Because what are you going to do about it?

00:59:24.700 However, this does MS-13, the gang, the Mexican gang, as as Stu pointed out, what is it, four times?

00:59:33.280 Yeah, about four point three times the rate.

00:59:36.100 MS-13 kills people at four point three times the rate that people have died in school shootings.

00:59:41.260 And that's I think I can't remember what year that goes back to.

00:59:43.660 It's past six or seven years.

00:59:45.160 All right.

00:59:45.420 So you're going to have to carry the water on that.

00:59:47.440 You're going to have to carry the water on Venezuela and we're working hard to, by the way, if you know of somebody in Venezuela that is willing to talk to us.

01:00:00.480 And I know this is dangerous, but if they're willing to talk to us and they're smart and they know how to be able to talk to us confidentially, please contact us.

01:00:13.840 Please call us or Jason.

01:00:16.640 Can I give out your email address on this one or not?

01:00:21.220 You don't have to screw up your inbox for the next 50 years.

01:00:25.200 We have tips or something like that.

01:00:27.120 I don't know.

01:00:28.740 I can check.

01:00:29.340 We'll get an email address for you, but we need to talk to people in Venezuela.

01:00:34.100 Twitter is an easy way to go to at World of Stew at Glenn Beck.

01:00:37.940 Yeah.

01:00:38.080 OK, let's just do it that way.

01:00:39.620 You know, somebody in Venezuela, you know, somebody in South Africa, because that's the other story that you have to carry water on.

01:00:47.040 Tomorrow, we are going to be talking to one of the farmers who is about to lose his ranch.

01:00:52.180 He's a white guy.

01:00:53.120 They are only offering a tenth of the value because the the new black president is done with Nelson Mandela's reconciliation and says it's time to slit the throats of whiteness. 0.93

01:01:07.460 And they are going to take these ranches and the first ranch that is being taken.

01:01:12.040 What's his name?

01:01:13.200 The farmer.

01:01:13.640 So they're from a farm or a ranch called Ackerland Bordery, and it's a it's a it's like a hunting place.

01:01:20.860 Like if you want to go, you know, and hunt.

01:01:22.640 Yeah.

01:01:22.840 OK, so and there and how big is this ranch?

01:01:27.860 I'm not entirely sure.

01:01:29.400 We know that they said that if there's over twenty five thousand acres, that's considered to be excessive.

01:01:34.600 So I'm assuming it's over twenty five thousand acres.

01:01:36.960 So it's probably pretty big.

01:01:37.780 And keep in mind, these are this is probably land that's been in their family for forever, you know, for a long time.

01:01:43.520 Right.

01:01:44.080 And so this farmer has just been served papers.

01:01:47.580 Tell me his story a little bit.

01:01:49.100 So, yeah, they were earlier this year.

01:01:51.140 They were they were offered.

01:01:53.380 I think it was sixteen point seven million dollars or that's the market value.

01:01:59.040 The sixteen point seven million dollars is the market value for their ranch.

01:02:01.760 Now, under the current South African constitution, they that that's perfectly legal.

01:02:06.920 The state can say, hey, we we we are targeting your place for for, you know, for redistribution, which is the actual verbiage on it.

01:02:16.080 But we have to give you market value.

01:02:18.960 Well, ever since what you pointed out, all this new, you know, rhetoric and vitriol that's going on there wants to buy it.

01:02:26.800 No one.

01:02:27.620 No one wants to buy it.

01:02:28.820 And everyone is pointing the fingers.

01:02:30.560 These guys, there's they're the bad guys.

01:02:32.240 So there are they're forcing a change, an amendment to the constitution that says, well, we're just going to take it regardless.

01:02:37.880 We don't have to compensate you.

01:02:38.980 We're just going to take it and redistribute to black farmers instead. 1.00

01:02:41.780 So instead they offered him one point six million, one point six million.

01:02:47.760 Not even close to what the market value of this property is.

01:02:51.460 Well, they contested it and said, hey, what's going on here?

01:02:55.000 We reject this.

01:02:55.840 They came back and said that we are instead going to show up to your property and we're going to take you have to turn.

01:03:06.460 We're going to do an assessment and we're going to take your property to turn the keys over to us.

01:03:09.960 They filed an emergency injunction.

01:03:11.980 It's kind of stuck right there as it is now.

01:03:14.300 But once this constitution is amended, which is basically imminent, it doesn't matter.

01:03:18.300 They're just going to lose the farm.

01:03:20.260 What's amazing is we cannot find anybody that's reporting on this.

01:03:24.780 Nobody except for extreme like far right alt right people are the only ones talking about this.

01:03:30.320 Why is that?

01:03:31.040 Why is the U.N. not talking about this?

01:03:33.100 Why are mainstream media outlets not all over the place?

01:03:35.000 Why isn't Ginsburg talking about this?

01:03:38.260 Ginsburg Ginsburg, our Supreme Court justice, has said she looks not to the U.S. Constitution,

01:03:46.220 but to the South African Constitution for guidance because it's newer.

01:03:51.500 And look at how many great things have been happening in South Africa.

01:03:56.580 Personally, she should be impeached for that.

01:03:59.340 But that's the constitution that is taking the land.

01:04:02.560 A constitution that has it mandated in there that they can redistribute land.

01:04:07.280 That's what she's pointing at.

01:04:08.620 That's the constitution that she's holding it up to.

01:04:10.760 That's just amazing.

01:04:12.060 Amazing.

01:04:12.720 So the stories that we are gathering and we're spending extra time verifying because

01:04:21.320 I don't want to report stuff that isn't happening.

01:04:26.160 But some of the stories that we do know have happened are terrifying.

01:04:31.080 People are targeting these farmers.

01:04:33.740 I know one story of a farmer who was outside.

01:04:38.540 He told his wife to get in the house. 0.95

01:04:40.200 They had already put bars on the on the windows and the doors.

01:04:43.720 So she was supposedly safe as they killed her husband out in front of the farm.

01:04:51.860 They told her to come out.

01:04:53.520 She wouldn't.

01:04:54.780 Police wouldn't come.

01:04:56.220 And they lit the house on fire and they burned her to death inside.

01:04:59.280 And there's story after story after story of black people doing this now to white people 1.00

01:05:05.820 in South Africa.

01:05:07.400 It was wrong and bad when it was happening the other way.

01:05:11.800 Can we not?

01:05:14.160 Can we not even talk about it in the press?

01:05:16.500 That's nearly a nearly a hundred white farmers just in 2017 alone.

01:05:22.460 And the narrative from the government has been, look, that it's there's nothing different

01:05:25.720 here.

01:05:26.140 It's it's just the murder rate is rising with the overall murder rate.

01:05:29.540 I think that's had a lot of people, you know, kind of standing off.

01:05:32.420 What you just described, Glenn, is not a murder.

01:05:35.880 That's torture is what's going on there.

01:05:38.240 Torture.

01:05:39.280 And it's a vengeance.

01:05:40.220 It's not it's it's mob violence.

01:05:43.200 Murder is I've gotten angry at somebody who has will cross me one way or another and I'm

01:05:48.540 plotting their death and I'm going to go kill them.

01:05:50.500 We understand that murder.

01:05:52.120 She wrote, you know, Columbo.

01:05:55.260 That's different than mob violence and vengeance.

01:05:59.240 It's very different.

01:06:01.200 Those are some stories that we are hopefully going to get out of this man, this this farmer

01:06:05.760 in South Africa tomorrow and also ask him about how many farms are targeted.

01:06:10.900 There's there is a list that has leaked out of supposedly around 200 farms that are on

01:06:16.720 this list.

01:06:17.200 And we're not we're not still not allowing any of these white farmers to come in. 1.00

01:06:20.900 Right.

01:06:22.300 See, that's another thing that the government's stance on this official stance was that this

01:06:27.220 is no, you know, there's no there there.

01:06:28.680 Then why last year did their own a member of their own government come out and say we need

01:06:33.220 to expedite visas to get them out of the country?

01:06:35.760 That does not go with the other line from what the government saying is, hey, look there.

01:06:39.460 Yeah, this is just the murder rates rising with, you know, the typical national rate.

01:06:43.600 No, there's people there that are actually saying, OK, this is a big deal.

01:06:47.620 Thanks, Jason.

01:06:48.800 We'll have more on that story coming up and also more on Venezuela.

01:06:52.520 But we do need your help on those two stories.

01:06:54.780 There's another story you will have to carry the water on.

01:06:57.320 And that is Asian Argento.

01:07:01.980 This is Asia is a woman who was the was one of the founders of the hashtag Me Too movement.

01:07:09.700 And she was she was brought out in front of everybody as a hypocrite, as she was sleeping 1.00

01:07:20.040 with an underage boy.

01:07:21.980 She's 37. 0.97

01:07:23.420 He was 17.

01:07:25.140 She's vehemently denied all of this.

01:07:28.600 Rose McGowan, who always said, you have to believe the survivors.

01:07:31.880 You have to believe them.

01:07:33.160 You have to believe the women.

01:07:34.820 She suddenly has changed her mind and said, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:07:38.660 I mean, let's let's let's not necessarily believe the accuser here because I know her and I don't

01:07:45.660 think she did this.

01:07:46.420 She said that she didn't do this.

01:07:48.540 Well, TMZ has text messages about sleeping with this 17 year old boy and pictures of

01:07:59.260 the two of them in bed.

01:08:01.100 Oops, I think is what you would say on this.

01:08:03.400 Yes, she did deny it initially.

01:08:06.800 However, there are now photos of them in bed.

01:08:10.640 TMZ has them and they have posted them, at least some of them.

01:08:15.200 There are apparently some that actually show her without clothes on.

01:08:19.720 The one that they have featured is just they're, you know, laying in bed, taking a selfie and

01:08:26.160 you're not seeing any nudity, but you're seeing it's a very much an it's an afterglow sort

01:08:30.140 of photo.

01:08:31.080 It is.

01:08:31.780 So describe it.

01:08:33.020 And so there's also text messages.

01:08:35.420 She initially said I had never had any sexual relationship with the 17 year old.

01:08:40.080 She is now texted a friend and said, quote, I had sex with him and it felt weird.

01:08:46.680 I didn't know he was a minor until the shakedown letter, how she describes it.

01:08:51.420 She's she's asked in this text message by her friend, what's up with the photo taken in bed?

01:08:56.360 She said, she said, you can see my breasts. 0.65

01:09:00.220 That's all it doesn't mean anything.

01:09:03.460 She says the public knows nothing.

01:09:05.700 Only what the New York Times wrote, which is one sided.

01:09:08.420 The shakedown letter, the horny kid jumped me.

01:09:12.320 She's blaming the 17 year old for the incident.

01:09:14.760 She was 37. 0.98

01:09:15.940 She she's not going to get away with this one.

01:09:20.240 I don't think I do think that there is a line that this crosses that even the left, they're

01:09:26.940 going to want her out of there because it's going to it's too much, too much mess here.

01:09:30.800 But she's not going to be.

01:09:32.120 She's not going to be.

01:09:34.880 She'll end up like with the relationship in Hollywood, like Roman Polanski.

01:09:41.780 She's not going to be the poster child for hypocritical liars.

01:09:47.820 No, she's not going to get that treatment.

01:09:49.540 Right.

01:09:49.740 And now she is having an illegal, illegal relationship with an underage boy.

01:09:55.920 She's 37. 0.97

01:09:57.020 He's 17.

01:09:58.960 Nobody in Hollywood is going to say anything.

01:10:01.080 People have a double standard when women sleep with with boys. 0.98

01:10:05.100 Yep.

01:10:05.600 They think it's they.

01:10:06.660 Oh, he loved it.

01:10:08.520 And by his own words, he did.

01:10:10.500 Yeah.

01:10:10.840 That does not mean that it's not still a crime.

01:10:13.340 Yes.

01:10:14.140 I mean, but you're right.

01:10:15.260 You hear that about Roy Moore.

01:10:16.300 Um, they everybody said how creepy it was that he was in his 30s and he was he was around 17 year olds.

01:10:24.560 Well, what's the difference?

01:10:25.940 Very similar situation, except much more evidence of this case.

01:10:28.640 Oh, yeah.

01:10:28.820 The Roy Moore stuff is like you're talking to people's memories of what happened 40 years ago.

01:10:32.900 This is an actual.

01:10:33.820 There are actual photos of this and text where she admits what she said did.

01:10:36.880 So, but again, you're right.

01:10:39.500 I mean, I don't think she will not get the Roy Moore treatment.

01:10:43.100 Right.

01:10:43.600 She will.

01:10:44.460 She I think she probably will be tossed aside by this movement, however, at least in the short term.

01:10:53.100 We a lot of these situations you wind up with situations where they are able to repair themselves.

01:10:57.660 If you're on the right side of the aisle, it's not like Roy Moore is soon going to get a really good job somewhere in politics.

01:11:04.400 No, he's he's destroyed forever.

01:11:07.060 She's done worse than Roy Moore was accused of.

01:11:11.400 Um, nobody.

01:11:12.800 Well, I guess there was multiple people.

01:11:15.040 The Roy Moore thing.

01:11:15.720 You can argue, right?

01:11:16.920 I forgot that he that there were people accusing him of sleeping with them, uh, and touching them, etc.

01:11:24.000 Yeah, one.

01:11:24.660 I think it was one.

01:11:25.680 However, you're right.

01:11:26.220 The other ones were more.

01:11:27.140 So he's destroyed forever.

01:11:29.560 She's not going to be destroyed forever.

01:11:31.880 Yeah, she'll get a time here.

01:11:32.700 But you'll, you know, you in in a couple of years, you'll have the sit down interview with Asia Argento.

01:11:41.220 And how bad things were.

01:11:42.620 I mean, you know, it was crazy time.

01:11:44.780 She had an incident.

01:11:45.660 She claims in these texts that she had a relationship when she was 17 with an older man.

01:11:50.180 Oh, and that will be obviously what caused this.

01:11:53.500 Maybe.

01:11:53.780 And it's not her fault.

01:11:54.680 Yeah, it's the man.

01:11:55.360 She was still right on the other stuff.

01:11:57.520 And we have to make sure.

01:11:58.520 Maybe it's time to give her a second chance.

01:12:00.700 And that's just not really afforded to consumers.

01:12:03.140 She's only having the 17 year old.

01:12:05.620 Sex was 17 when she's 37 because a man. 1.00

01:12:08.200 Should that even be illegal?

01:12:09.860 You know, should that.

01:12:10.840 And a man did that to her.

01:12:12.200 So this really.

01:12:13.320 And remember, the horny kid jumped me was her quote. 0.58

01:12:17.240 It was his fault.

01:12:18.180 I mean, you blame.

01:12:19.640 I mean, this is everything the Me Too movement was supposed to stand against.

01:12:24.180 Amazing.

01:13:50.140 We are going to continue our coverage on what happened yesterday with the White House.

01:13:57.620 What does it mean?

01:13:58.780 Do we care?

01:13:59.940 Will we care?

01:14:01.220 What happens with impeachment?

01:14:04.860 We'll talk about all of that coming up in a minute.

01:14:07.480 Also at five o'clock on the Blaze TV.

01:14:10.580 You don't want to miss it.

01:14:11.640 Glenn Beck.

01:14:17.340 Black Tuesday for the Trump administration.

01:14:20.540 Or was it?

01:14:22.440 Two members of the President Trump's inner circle were both found guilty yesterday in federal court.

01:14:29.040 Now, Paul Manafort was convicted on eight of 18 charges.

01:14:32.680 Well, for crimes that, you know, we all expect from a, you know, a dirty, shady foreign lobbyist. 1.00

01:14:40.680 We knew who this guy was long before he ever joined the Trump campaign.

01:14:45.820 It was mostly tax and bank fraud.

01:14:48.660 He was colluding with the Russians, but not for Trump.

01:14:51.600 Years before, he was colluding with Russia to help them get into the Ukraine and take over.

01:14:59.520 That's his collusion.

01:15:00.900 And it had nothing to do with Donald Trump.

01:15:04.100 And that wasn't even brought up in the trial.

01:15:06.800 Now, Michael Cohen, on the other hand, in another court, pleaded guilty to a few charges, most notably to campaign finance violations.

01:15:15.220 Now, I want you to listen to the verbiage in his guilty plea because it is relevant to President Trump.

01:15:21.380 Cohen stated, quote,

01:15:23.340 In violation of campaign finance law at the behest of a candidate for federal office for the principal purpose of influencing an election, end quote.

01:15:35.840 So that's lawyer speak.

01:15:37.860 Can you please translate bullcrap to English?

01:15:41.620 Yes.

01:15:42.720 Quote.

01:15:43.160 Yeah, I paid some chicks off, but I only did it because my boss, who was candidate to be president at the time, he asked me to do it.

01:15:50.340 The reason why you want me to cover all this up is because, you know, it could change the election.

01:15:55.060 What are you, dope?

01:15:56.980 End quote.

01:15:57.560 The reason for the lawyer speak in the wording of for the principal purpose of influencing an election is because saying it like that matches up directly with the wording of the campaign finance law.

01:16:12.820 U.S. election law states, quote,

01:16:16.180 Campaign contributions define as things of value given to a campaign to influence an election must be disclosed.

01:16:25.680 End quote.

01:16:26.180 So Cohen knew exactly what he was doing there.

01:16:30.080 He was going down, but he wanted to wound his old boss once more before he got fitted for his orange jumpsuit and sent to the big house.

01:16:39.420 So now is this Black Tuesday? 0.58

01:16:44.000 Well, let's look again at Manafort.

01:16:46.800 Nothing Manafort was convicted for had anything to do with President Trump.

01:16:51.580 Nothing.

01:16:52.040 The optics look bad, but that's only because the press is spinning it as here's his campaign guy.

01:16:59.400 Trump fired him.

01:17:02.040 Rightfully so.

01:17:03.640 He was only there at the campaign and nothing that he is going to prison for has anything to do with the Trump campaign.

01:17:11.400 Again, it's optics.

01:17:13.400 He was once Trump's guy.

01:17:16.220 But in the end, it's just optics.

01:17:18.940 Cohen is different.

01:17:21.280 Cohen's statement is damning.

01:17:23.820 It will fuel impeachment op-eds for months.

01:17:27.800 It will be talked about in panels on every mainstream cable news outlets for months.

01:17:33.080 But consider this.

01:17:36.560 The guy who's saying it is a known liar.

01:17:41.440 The guy he's saying it about is also a known liar.

01:17:47.020 Who do we believe here?

01:17:50.680 As bad as Cohen's accusations towards Trump were, why wasn't that alone worth some sort of immunity deal?

01:17:58.420 Well, probably because Cohen doesn't have any proof.

01:18:05.700 Cohen's going to jail with no deal.

01:18:08.840 Could it be because he actually doesn't have any proof that his boss made him do these things?

01:18:13.400 Because if he did have some sort of a smoking gun, I don't think Cohen would be going to prison right now.

01:18:19.640 So Cohen's big accusation, the news will cover this and it will dominate CNN and MSNBC for the next month or so, all boils down to this.

01:18:31.780 An accusation, his word against the president's.

01:18:37.400 Now, I am not saying that the president didn't do these things.

01:18:41.660 In fact, I'm pretty sure he did.

01:18:44.500 But that's just my opinion.

01:18:46.000 And my opinion doesn't send anybody to court.

01:18:49.960 It's not what you think or know.

01:18:54.080 In this case, it's what you can prove.

01:18:57.840 And because of that, Black Tuesday?

01:19:01.240 Not hardly.

01:19:07.460 It's Wednesday, August 22nd.

01:19:10.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:12.260 What's your read on this whole thing?

01:19:14.640 It's interesting.

01:19:15.560 I think it's being made into a really large thing and it could be a very large thing, I think, for the future in that if Cohen or Manafort have something else, it could be, I think, a big deal.

01:19:28.400 You know, we kind of know most.

01:19:31.440 I don't think that we added to the story all that much yesterday.

01:19:34.120 I mean, the one thing that you have, I think, there is Cohen admitting that he believes his payment to Daniels and the McDougal situation was a crime.

01:19:44.480 Like, that's significant in that one of the people actually involved is admitting that what he did was illegal.

01:19:50.120 And that's a notable situation.

01:19:53.160 But the bottom line is, before this, before the Cohen plea, we knew that Donald Trump and Michael Cohen worked together to pay off two women who accused him of having an affair about a week or two before the election.

01:20:06.720 And that's one of the main jobs.

01:20:09.620 I think that would be at the top of your job description if the title of your job was fixer.

01:20:16.980 Right.

01:20:17.440 Right.

01:20:17.940 It's good.

01:20:18.460 I mean, we knew that.

01:20:20.600 We already have Donald Trump on tape discussing the payment to McDougal before it happened.

01:20:25.980 Trump initially denied that he knew about either payment.

01:20:28.740 And we now know they are admitting that they did know about the payments.

01:20:33.180 And he authorized it at that point.

01:20:36.360 And he paid them back.

01:20:37.480 Right.

01:20:37.820 Right.

01:20:38.120 So we knew all of that.

01:20:39.620 I think there's two kind of types of people, if you want to break it down this way.

01:20:43.660 I think some people will look at the situation and say, hey, I'm talking only about the right here because the left obviously just hates him no matter what he does.

01:20:53.880 But there's two types of people here.

01:20:55.080 You're going to look at this and you're going to say, look, I don't care about this because he's going to name good Supreme Court justices and he's going to do a good job with whatever issues that are most important to me.

01:21:09.020 And because of his performance in the job, if you think it's good, you're going to overlook this and say, I can deal with the fact that he was doing this.

01:21:19.040 I think the other side of that is because I and I find myself in this camp, admittedly, and I know it's probably not popular with the audience.

01:21:24.560 But I can't I can't imagine casting a vote for a person who would pay a quarter of a million dollars to two people to hide information from voters a week before an election.

01:21:36.740 And I understand that's uncomfortable and I understand that nobody likes that.

01:21:39.640 But the bottom line is why, why, why wouldn't I do that?

01:21:45.420 Yeah, I mean, I just want to know what the what the what the so, for instance, I could easily say I'm going to pay somebody, you know, just make this go away.

01:21:56.640 It will kill the election and it's not true and we'll deal with it later.

01:22:00.060 In this case, Donald Trump knew it was true and, you know, knew exactly what he was doing.

01:22:07.260 And so I can understand.

01:22:11.160 I can understand you saying I don't want to vote for a guy who's keeping dirt from out of the election.

01:22:18.200 But.

01:22:22.020 In today's world, you have people that are coming to coming to the front like Stormy Daniels, she wasn't a victim.

01:22:30.900 She was a victim now.

01:22:31.920 She was throwing a party about all of this.

01:22:34.520 Oh, look at what she say, like, how do you like me now?

01:22:37.200 I don't know.

01:22:37.640 Not not that much.

01:22:38.620 You know, you were you slept with a married man a couple of weeks after they had a baby. 0.51

01:22:43.960 Like, I don't thinking all that much about you, actually.

01:22:46.640 So, you know, it could have affected the election.

01:22:51.200 I don't know if it would have, but it could have affected the election.

01:22:54.600 Yeah, I don't think you're just like, oh, jeez, man, just shut her up. 0.55

01:22:58.100 I think the problem I guess I have with it is because I don't think it would have affected the election at all.

01:23:02.640 Some of this stuff went up dribbling out anyway.

01:23:04.940 I don't think it was a thing that affected the election.

01:23:07.100 However, to make a decision where you're paying someone to hide information from voters and not letting them have the full picture to decide is is a fund.

01:23:18.060 It's like a rule violation, right?

01:23:20.040 It's like, you know, people they talk about this with the Hall of Fame and let me bring it to sports.

01:23:23.560 So you fully will not understand that.

01:23:25.560 Good, because I was close to completely understanding.

01:23:28.280 But if you throw some sports in, you'll lose me.

01:23:30.460 There's lots of people who commit crimes, right, and are terrible human beings in their personal life that make it to the Hall of Fame.

01:23:39.100 You know, Pete Rose did something fundamentally about baseball.

01:23:44.900 He bet on baseball.

01:23:47.620 Now, you could say whether you think that's a good idea or not or whether he should be in the Hall of Fame or not.

01:23:52.440 That's a whole different discussion.

01:23:54.420 But it's like stealing something from someone, you know, in your private life is a is a real sign of character flaw.

01:24:03.200 However, it doesn't necessarily mean that, you know, you've it wouldn't necessarily mean that you wouldn't be able to perform in your job.

01:24:12.060 Like this is it was a fundamental thing where people should have had the information and he should not have been stepping in to pay them to be quiet about it.

01:24:20.120 And look, I understand that that's I think there's a lot of really smart people, the overwhelming majority of people on the right who don't make decisions that way.

01:24:30.640 You have to understand that my process goes through.

01:24:32.620 I don't mind voting third party, so I don't look at it as, oh, well, if I can't vote for Trump, I have to vote for Hillary.

01:24:37.740 I mean, right now, the choice we should be clear is not Trump or Hillary.

01:24:40.860 It's Trump or Pence, which to me, there's a pretty clear choice of who I would prefer to have the job.

01:24:45.980 But that being said, you know, you you have to be able to make a conscious decision based on as much available information as possible.

01:24:55.860 And, you know, this is this is the type of thing that I think is as well.

01:25:00.760 I have to put my name on this. Right.

01:25:03.120 And I think people will admittedly make a pretty compelling argument that the world's changed.

01:25:08.780 Right. Like, yeah, you can you can feel it.

01:25:10.520 Go back to your whatever you thought in the 90s or whatever you believed your principles were in the 90s.

01:25:14.480 The world's changed. It's a different world. Get over it.

01:25:16.700 And that's a completely legitimate argument.

01:25:18.360 And a lot of people make that argument.

01:25:20.720 I just don't want the world telling me what my principle should be.

01:25:24.860 I don't want to have a world where that decision is made for me.

01:25:30.200 The world has changed. Therefore, I must change.

01:25:32.580 I don't need to change. That's not how I make decisions.

01:25:35.480 And I think it's difficult for people to to get out of that sort of day to day thing, because what you're talking about here is a timeline question.

01:25:45.720 Right. Well, what's your timeline when you make these decisions?

01:25:48.480 When we talk about winning and losing, what's your timeline?

01:25:50.660 Is it the next election? Is it the next 10 years?

01:25:53.140 Is the next hundred years? The next thousand years?

01:25:55.200 Is it an eternal principle?

01:25:56.460 How are you making the decision?

01:25:57.760 But what I'm asking you is, why would this be a tripwire for anybody?

01:26:04.000 Now, you, you didn't vote for him.

01:26:05.860 No.

01:26:06.120 OK, so, OK, I didn't vote for him.

01:26:08.280 OK, so we knew our tripwire.

01:26:11.260 But why would anyone expect this to be their tripwire?

01:26:14.180 For instance, let me just hear me out.

01:26:16.940 We know that Donald Trump is a ladies man. 0.85

01:26:21.040 Let me put it in the best Frank Sinatra way I can.

01:26:24.100 Sure.

01:26:24.580 He's he's good with the dames. 1.00

01:26:26.720 OK, we know that I don't like it.

01:26:30.740 I've made my decision on who he is and what his character is long ago.

01:26:35.680 That played a role into I can't trust the guy.

01:26:38.520 OK, then he he brags about it, whether he actually did grab people there or not.

01:26:47.080 I tend to believe he's the kind of guy that might do that.

01:26:50.500 But, you know, I don't know.

01:26:53.720 But he's he's looking around Howard Stern, the way he talked about.

01:26:57.400 So, again, I make a decision.

01:26:59.600 I don't want that guy.

01:27:00.720 Then he he talks about his marriage with his wife, his current wife in his own book where

01:27:09.460 he says, you know, I was immediately bored.

01:27:12.440 I was walking down the aisle thinking, what am I doing?

01:27:14.720 I'm already bored with this.

01:27:15.960 OK, so, again, I've made a decision.

01:27:19.120 I'm not going to go there.

01:27:20.000 Right.

01:27:20.180 Then he has a guy on his staff whose job is the fixer.

01:27:27.260 He's a he's a construction guy in New York that usually takes on much different fixers aren't

01:27:36.040 found everywhere.

01:27:37.020 OK, and when they are found, they're usually with pretty shady people.

01:27:42.380 We have tapes of his his guy fixing things and saying horrendous things to people.

01:27:50.220 Right.

01:27:51.080 So I've made my decision again.

01:27:55.740 Why would this be a line?

01:27:58.440 Oh, so wait, the guy, I think and I've accepted that, yeah, he's probably done all these things.

01:28:03.720 He's a dirtbag and, you know, but this is all important.

01:28:06.700 Why would this be the line?

01:28:09.920 Well, no, he tried to hide it.

01:28:11.960 Well, he's been lying about it the whole time.

01:28:13.900 Of course, he's going to hide it.

01:28:15.940 I should be clear.

01:28:16.980 It's this isn't close to the line.

01:28:19.600 Like, this isn't the line.

01:28:21.660 This isn't the thing.

01:28:22.940 The fact that he's there is so far beyond the line I feel comfortable voting for.

01:28:27.760 Right.

01:28:27.860 OK, so it's like it's not.

01:28:29.360 All right.

01:28:29.560 This is just it's a good reminder here because people are trying to focus on whether he did something

01:28:33.620 illegal with campaign finance.

01:28:34.980 I would be fine today.

01:28:36.220 This is legitimately based on principle.

01:28:38.960 Fine today.

01:28:39.800 If Donald Trump came out and pardoned Michael Cohen for his campaign finance violation,

01:28:45.440 I do on the principle, on the principle of campaign finance reform is unconstitutional.

01:28:51.960 These laws are unconstitutional.

01:28:54.480 So I am.

01:28:55.300 That's how far I am on this.

01:28:57.320 I actually don't believe Michael Cohen should be found guilty of these things because they

01:29:01.860 shouldn't even be rules in the first place.

01:29:03.940 He Donald Trump should be able to go do these things, but he shouldn't do it.

01:29:09.440 That is not something I want.

01:29:11.220 He's going out and paying someone to hide information from voters a week before the election.

01:29:17.380 This is not something I would have even contemplated him doing at the time.

01:29:20.780 We've just gone through so many news cycles where we now consider this to be like a part

01:29:24.680 of our collective knowledge.

01:29:26.520 This is not something I would have.

01:29:28.040 I think this is exactly what we talked about.

01:29:30.280 This is why we were against him.

01:29:31.920 We're like, you think you've seen scandals?

01:29:33.780 You haven't seen anything yet.

01:29:35.240 Yeah.

01:29:35.420 You think this guy is going to be, I mean, impeachment is going to be talked about a lot

01:29:40.280 right off the bat because this is life.

01:29:44.640 Look who he surrounds himself with.

01:29:46.440 One of the amazing things that struck me last night is that one of Trump's closing arguments

01:29:50.360 in the 2016 campaign was that if you vote for Hillary, we're going to be just stuck

01:29:53.980 in scandal the whole time.

01:29:55.420 We're not going to be able to get anything done because all we're going to be doing is dealing

01:29:57.700 with constant scandals, which was true, I'm sure, with Hillary.

01:30:01.280 But it's interesting how this has played out.

01:30:02.960 And you know what?

01:30:03.740 When's the last time we passed a bill?

01:30:05.140 Okay.

01:30:05.420 But whose fault is that?

01:30:07.400 That's not Donald Trump.

01:30:08.740 That's not the press.

01:30:10.020 Donald Trump has them so mired in the mud of scandal.

01:30:14.140 They could pass.

01:30:15.800 They could rename us.

01:30:18.020 You know, the United States of America is now just gun toting God lovers. 0.96

01:30:22.980 That's the new name of the country.

01:30:24.340 They wouldn't even pay attention and report it because they're just paying attention to

01:30:27.900 him.

01:30:28.400 The Republicans have dropped the ball.

01:30:30.480 He's provided perfect cover, knowingly or not.

01:30:33.820 I think it's just his personality.

01:30:35.720 Perfect cover to pass anything.

01:30:38.780 Anything.

01:30:40.160 And they've done zero.

01:30:42.260 Do you see that Bitcoin jumped, I think, in an hour?

01:30:54.780 400 bucks yesterday?

01:30:56.140 Yeah.

01:30:56.460 In an hour?

01:30:56.900 Isn't that crazy?

01:30:58.320 Yeah.

01:30:58.980 It's 6,700 now, which is up, what, 300 or 400 from yesterday?

01:31:03.320 Have they decided on the ETF yet?

01:31:05.100 I think that's supposed to come today.

01:31:06.600 I've heard this week, which is another thing that if that gets approved, it's likely there'll

01:31:10.700 be a bounce to it.

01:31:11.900 If it doesn't, we might see another couple of rough days.

01:31:14.680 I don't know.

01:31:15.800 I don't think anybody's pricing in this ETF yet.

01:31:19.240 I know an ETF is coming, which means large firms are going to be able to invest.

01:31:26.360 Institutional money is going to start coming into Bitcoin.

01:31:28.380 And when that happens, then it just takes off.

01:31:31.700 And what you don't know is, you know, places like Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Bank of America,

01:31:40.120 JPMorgan Chase, all these people have been talking this down.

01:31:43.920 And they're talking Bitcoin down right now because they're buying.

01:31:48.400 You know, my grandfather said the people who got rich were the people who were buying when

01:31:54.180 everyone else was selling.

01:31:55.840 And that's what's happening with Bitcoin.

01:31:57.560 And when it takes off again, it's really going to take off.

01:32:02.160 Now, I can't make the case that Tika Tiwari can make.

01:32:05.360 He's he's he's making an incredible case based on all the facts and all the things that he

01:32:10.160 knows.

01:32:10.600 He's one of the leaders in cryptocurrency meets with all of the big movers and shakers.

01:32:14.120 And so he's he's put it all together and is expecting Bitcoin to take dramatic leaps

01:32:19.940 here in the next six months.

01:32:21.580 I want you to find out all you can about cryptocurrency and also blockchain.

01:32:26.660 Find out what it is, why it's important to know, invest or not invest.

01:32:31.800 But you need to understand this.

01:32:33.720 You can take the smart crypto course at smart crypto course dot com.

01:32:37.860 We asked him to put this together for you.

01:32:39.760 It's smart crypto course dot com or you can call 877 PBL back 877 PBL back smart crypto

01:32:47.040 course dot com.

01:32:48.160 Stu, I have a I have a story that's been sitting on my desk for a few days and I don't know

01:32:59.480 what to do with it.

01:33:00.460 It's about a woman who who died from a botched abortion and and she she she died because she 0.99

01:33:12.980 used parsley.

01:33:14.980 OK, to kill the child.

01:33:18.340 Well, I've always argued that parsley is unhealthy.

01:33:20.680 Right.

01:33:20.900 So I've read this story and I've read it, you know, over and over again.

01:33:25.620 And nowhere does it say how she used the parsley.

01:33:30.860 Was she she eating it?

01:33:33.400 Was how is she using the parsley?

01:33:35.680 I is there like a Pinterest argument that if you Pinterest science that says if you eat

01:33:40.020 lots of parsley, you'll have this outcome.

01:33:42.280 Or was she inserting it in her?

01:33:44.080 I don't know.

01:33:44.900 Isn't that a kind of an important part of the story?

01:33:48.780 Yes, yes, I would.

01:33:50.300 Yes, I have this this fear now of parsley, which I probably shouldn't have.

01:33:57.600 And I just like to know how much parsley does it take to kill someone and where do you have

01:34:04.280 to put it to kill them?

01:34:06.240 You never go wrong staying away from parsley.

01:34:11.660 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:34:13.520 Welcome to the program.

01:34:15.540 Welcome to Pat Gray.

01:34:17.200 So so, Pat, the media is expecting America to all of a sudden reel back and go, oh, my

01:34:24.140 gosh, not going to happen.

01:34:25.900 It's not going to happen.

01:34:27.560 They're doing the opposite.

01:34:29.200 They're circling the wagons around him.

01:34:31.820 It looks to me like they're everybody's defending him.

01:34:35.640 So here's the here's the thing.

01:34:38.720 I explain this.

01:34:40.200 I explain this today as a there's a hornet's nest that is right in front of your front door.

01:34:48.660 And every time you open up that door, the hornets come out and they sting some of your

01:34:52.000 children, etc.

01:34:52.720 You don't have any raid.

01:34:53.940 You have nothing in the house.

01:34:55.060 In fact, the the pest control people they're in with the new spotted wasp environmental protection

01:35:02.960 people who are now starting to say, you know, you know, the wasps were here before you were.

01:35:09.660 And, you know, this is more their home than yours.

01:35:12.440 And you should you should leave and you're going to be evicted.

01:35:14.920 OK, that's the press.

01:35:17.500 That's the Democratic socialists that are telling us all these crazy things.

01:35:20.560 And we know they're coming to our house.

01:35:22.380 We know they're coming for our government and our rights and everything else.

01:35:25.860 And so we're sitting in our house and there's a crazy guy in our house who says, you know

01:35:29.980 what, just give me a broom handle and I'll just poke that thing and I'll get rid of them. 1.00

01:35:36.360 And you're like, OK, that's a really bad idea.

01:35:38.920 And he's like, I don't care there.

01:35:41.460 No, they're going to sting you like crazy.

01:35:43.580 I don't care.

01:35:46.780 OK, here's the broom.

01:35:48.580 Kids close all the doors and windows.

01:35:51.900 Crazy man wants to go out and poke the deal because, you know, if you don't get rid of it,

01:35:58.060 you're going to lose your house.

01:36:00.060 So, yes, that's crazy.

01:36:02.800 But you have to do something.

01:36:04.300 So I understand why people feel this way and they and they rallied towards Trump and

01:36:11.160 they still are rallying towards Trump because nothing has changed on that.

01:36:17.040 In fact, I think the press and the left has gotten worse.

01:36:20.680 But here's the thing.

01:36:22.000 We don't have to say we we don't have to excuse it.

01:36:26.960 We can just say, yeah, he did that.

01:36:29.080 Yeah, he probably did that.

01:36:30.160 Yep.

01:36:30.420 Really bad.

01:36:31.460 Really bad.

01:36:32.240 I don't want to defend it, but hardly I don't hear people doing that.

01:36:36.840 Do you hear anybody doing that?

01:36:38.160 Defending it?

01:36:38.780 No, saying, hey, that was really bad.

01:36:41.040 But I'm still I'm still with him on his policies or whatever.

01:36:44.400 You know what I'm hearing is, well, even if he did it, you know, and even if he told

01:36:50.060 Cohen to do this, it's probably not a crime.

01:36:53.960 And even if it is a crime, you know, it's not that big of a crime.

01:36:59.080 I mean, it's just campaign finance crime.

01:37:02.400 Who cares about campaign finance crime?

01:37:04.380 That's what I'm hearing people do.

01:37:06.000 Even if it's it.

01:37:08.000 First of all, they say it's not a crime.

01:37:09.480 Then even if it is, it's not that big of a deal.

01:37:13.000 And nobody cares about the crime.

01:37:14.860 Nobody cares about the lies.

01:37:17.360 Does anybody remember that he said he didn't do this?

01:37:20.340 He didn't.

01:37:21.100 First of all, he didn't have the affair.

01:37:23.380 Secondly, he didn't know about the payments.

01:37:25.920 Thirdly, he didn't pay him back.

01:37:27.200 Well, we already found out that wasn't true.

01:37:29.360 And now all three of those things were false.

01:37:32.500 He lied about all of it.

01:37:33.660 OK, but my point is, you've already known that when you handed him the broom handle and

01:37:39.840 said, kids, close all the windows and doors.

01:37:42.780 Yeah.

01:37:43.000 Crazy man on the porch going to take the system of the hornet's nest apart.

01:37:48.780 We already knew that when we handed him the broom.

01:37:51.720 We knew that he was this kind of guy and he and you don't have a fixer.

01:37:57.140 What person do you know has a fixer unless they're a little shady?

01:38:01.060 Who has a fixer?

01:38:02.220 Yeah.

01:38:02.420 I mean, this is why I don't think this changes much for anybody.

01:38:05.060 No people.

01:38:05.780 You know, you're right.

01:38:06.200 People keep focusing on whether it's a crime or not.

01:38:08.080 I mean, look, you're going to make a judgment on someone who is going to make a payment to

01:38:12.220 silence some, you know, some people he may have had an affair with before an election.

01:38:15.940 And whether that's a crime or not, to me, is somewhat immaterial.

01:38:20.160 Like, you're either going to say, think that's bad or you're going to get over it.

01:38:23.380 One or two.

01:38:23.940 The crime isn't the point.

01:38:25.620 It's that that's that's why I didn't vote for the guy, because I don't want that guy

01:38:29.820 as my president.

01:38:31.720 That's that's why I didn't vote for him.

01:38:34.520 And I will say, like, we tend to talk about like, OK, Donald Trump as a policy person, which

01:38:39.580 we've done some really good things that we've praised endlessly.

01:38:42.600 And no one remembers on a day like this, but we've praised endlessly things like Jerusalem

01:38:47.000 and, you know, and Gorsuch and, you know, some level Kavanaugh and tax cuts and lots

01:38:53.220 of his judges on the lower courts are amazing.

01:38:56.880 They did an incredible job.

01:38:58.080 His EPA moves are fantastic.

01:39:00.820 Really good.

01:39:01.100 We've been we praise this endlessly.

01:39:03.060 And no one likes to remember that on days like this.

01:39:05.240 But like there seems to be the separate there's a separation where we say, OK, here's his policies

01:39:09.580 and those are good, let's just say.

01:39:10.940 And then here on the other side are his antics, for lack of a better word.

01:39:15.820 And those are bad.

01:39:16.960 And there's a there needs to be we had a lot of times lump in.

01:39:22.100 Hey, he's tweeting nasty things about Rosie O'Donnell as an antic.

01:39:26.600 And also he's blatantly lying to our face as an antic.

01:39:31.600 He lied multiple times about this to our faces.

01:39:35.800 No, he didn't.

01:39:36.680 Here's how this here's how this is being viewed.

01:39:38.520 I'm not saying this is perception is reality.

01:39:41.540 So let me show you how it's being perceived by those who are supporting Donald Trump.

01:39:48.120 They will say, no, he wasn't lying to my face.

01:39:51.800 I already know.

01:39:53.100 I already know he wasn't lying to me.

01:39:55.900 He was lying to the press because he's not going to give them anything to feast on.

01:40:01.980 And it's still a lie.

01:40:03.200 It's still alive.

01:40:04.140 I know that.

01:40:05.000 But not to me.

01:40:06.400 He didn't lie to me.

01:40:07.280 I will say, though, the people, the people who many of the people who defended him throughout

01:40:11.520 this process have taken each individual lie and defended it on its merits.

01:40:15.020 He said he didn't do it.

01:40:16.160 There's no evidence that he did it.

01:40:17.360 There's no evidence he knew about these payments.

01:40:18.640 And they defend it each step of the way until he admits that he was lying.

01:40:22.760 If he did it, does it matter?

01:40:24.080 It's just not OK.

01:40:25.320 It's not OK.

01:40:26.480 And people like to say, well, what do you want?

01:40:27.780 Hillary is president.

01:40:28.620 Again, Hillary has no possibility of being president. 1.00

01:40:31.420 She's not the president. 0.65

01:40:32.440 The other person is Mike Pence, who would be president.

01:40:35.200 And so there's no reason to not hold Trump to a high standard now.

01:40:39.240 You can say I held him to a lower standard during the election because my only other choice

01:40:43.220 was Hillary. 1.00

01:40:43.940 I don't agree with that analysis because I don't think she was the only other choice.

01:40:47.640 However, you can make that point.

01:40:49.140 And I think it's completely valid.

01:40:49.520 But am I glad he beat Hillary?

01:40:50.560 Yeah.

01:40:51.060 I'm glad he's not the president.

01:40:52.520 May I go back to the crazy man on the porch?

01:40:55.880 Remember, you're in the house and you know the people who are going to say to you, you're

01:41:01.360 you know, those bees, they're sacred bees and hornets.

01:41:05.480 And you're just a lowly, non-person, cisgender, white, you know, hate monker. 0.98

01:41:11.700 And so you should leave your house.

01:41:12.820 You know those people are coming.

01:41:15.020 And now what you have is a guy on the porch who's got a bunch of bee stings and he hasn't

01:41:21.780 taken down the hornet's nest.

01:41:23.220 He's only poked it a few times, made the hornets even more angry.

01:41:28.120 And the people who are coming are going to say, you were abusing the hornets.

01:41:34.100 Oh, my gosh.

01:41:35.400 You're such an abuser of hornets.

01:41:37.540 You just hate all animal life.

01:41:40.200 You can't stop now.

01:41:43.000 That's what I think.

01:41:44.160 That's what people are saying.

01:41:45.240 Can't stop now.

01:41:46.640 He has just poked the nest.

01:41:48.760 He's the only one crazy enough to go out and poke the nest.

01:41:51.840 Let him poke it and bring it down.

01:41:54.980 And again, if he knocks it down, though, they're all going to come out and then it'll be really

01:41:58.200 bad.

01:41:58.740 Yeah, but I think people think I'm inside my house.

01:42:03.500 I'm fine.

01:42:04.500 So I'll just watch him from the window.

01:42:06.460 Just watch him through the windows.

01:42:07.940 Yeah.

01:42:08.320 Because it's only going to sting.

01:42:09.680 It's only going to sting him.

01:42:11.400 And it's going to sting the pest people that are coming.

01:42:16.040 I'm going to be fine with my kids inside the house.

01:42:18.100 That is one way to think about it.

01:42:19.920 I can definitely say that is a way to think about it.

01:42:21.460 I think that is the way many Americans think about this.

01:42:24.580 Yeah, I think so, too.

01:42:25.780 I think that's true.

01:42:26.640 I mean, he speaks for a lot of people.

01:42:28.860 I just don't know why any of that is necessary.

01:42:31.860 You know, I think I would be much...

01:42:34.380 Like, let's say the opposite happens.

01:42:36.540 These people come out.

01:42:37.380 They say they had affairs with him.

01:42:38.500 He says, you know what?

01:42:39.900 You know, look, I was a reality show host at the time.

01:42:42.280 There were Playboy models.

01:42:43.480 I was going through some things.

01:42:45.060 I did make mistakes.

01:42:46.180 And I shouldn't have done that.

01:42:47.280 I shouldn't have.

01:42:48.320 And you know what?

01:42:48.500 That's not his style, though.

01:42:49.500 He will never do that.

01:42:51.380 But this is the problem I have.

01:42:52.820 But that might mitigate the problem a little bit.

01:42:54.420 I will say, I don't think...

01:42:55.040 For me, wouldn't that mean something to you?

01:42:57.220 It would mean something to me.

01:42:58.140 It would mean something to me, too.

01:42:59.200 Because people keep bringing this up.

01:43:00.960 Unfortunately, guys, it would mean something to Melania as well. 0.96

01:43:04.780 Yeah.

01:43:05.300 She already knows, right?

01:43:07.040 She knows whether he did this or not.

01:43:09.740 Probably.

01:43:09.920 I think they've been all through that.

01:43:11.260 And I think that's why they have separate bedrooms.

01:43:13.480 So, that part has already been litigated, too.

01:43:17.340 But I don't think you lose...

01:43:18.720 Does Donald Trump lose any of his base if he comes out and says, look, yes.

01:43:23.840 I knew they were going to say...

01:43:25.440 Didn't you listen to me on Howard Stern?

01:43:26.900 Of course I did that.

01:43:29.260 Yeah, right, right, yeah.

01:43:30.020 But he came out and was just honest like that.

01:43:31.480 You know, I was a different person.

01:43:33.100 And I've changed.

01:43:34.060 And if he were to do that, I don't think he loses any of his supporters.

01:43:36.500 And he certainly...

01:43:37.980 It helps people who are in the audience and are uncomfortable with the lying.

01:43:43.040 People who argued for years and years and years that Clinton and Obama lying was a really

01:43:46.840 bad thing and now have to come on and say, well, yeah, but the policies are okay, so I

01:43:51.300 don't mind the lies as much.

01:43:52.880 And it puts people in an uncomfortable position.

01:43:56.160 And for the five people that still think character matters, that would help a little bit.

01:44:00.440 It would.

01:44:01.360 It would.

01:44:02.120 It would.

01:44:02.400 It would help a little bit.

01:44:03.140 I keep getting this one as well, which I find to be interesting, which is, look, you

01:44:07.860 know, in the Bible, there are a lot of people who are real messes and wound up doing really

01:44:11.900 important, incredible things.

01:44:14.260 And that's true.

01:44:15.720 Like, it's blatantly true.

01:44:16.940 One thing you'll notice with almost all those stories, at least all the ones I can remember,

01:44:19.920 is that they were people who were repenting, who were admitting their mistakes.

01:44:23.920 They were broken.

01:44:24.580 Who were broken because of their mistakes and were able to come to the right...

01:44:27.660 And I have not seen that from Donald Trump, but put that aside.

01:44:30.000 Well, you look like, you know, if you're going to talk Bible, you look at

01:44:32.640 King David, who did two really bad things.

01:44:37.160 I mean, the rest of his life was almost perfection.

01:44:39.480 Wait a minute.

01:44:39.960 But he did two really bad things.

01:44:40.480 So he made two mistakes.

01:44:42.580 He sleeps with a woman and then kills her husband.

01:44:45.260 What?

01:44:45.640 What?

01:44:46.020 What's the problem?

01:44:46.560 There's only two in his whole life.

01:44:48.180 But in his case, he spent the rest of his life repenting.

01:44:51.880 Yes.

01:44:52.080 The rest of his life was non-stop repenting.

01:44:57.740 And most of Psalms is all about that.

01:45:00.120 Yeah.

01:45:00.600 Well, look.

01:45:01.140 And look, I pray that it's God's plan.

01:45:03.300 I hope it is.

01:45:04.220 Yeah.

01:45:04.480 Well, let me play devil's advocate.

01:45:06.540 But if it's not, he certainly does not need my vote to get the plan enacted.

01:45:10.640 He doesn't ask me.

01:45:11.720 Hang on just a second.

01:45:12.500 Let me just play devil's advocate on why wouldn't you want Pence?

01:45:17.660 Because Pence isn't crazy enough to get on the porch and poke the nest.

01:45:24.180 I don't know.

01:45:24.900 I know that.

01:45:26.140 I don't know.

01:45:26.860 I know that.

01:45:27.880 But what I'm saying is the hornets are getting worse.

01:45:31.660 The people that we all know we're not living in the age of reason anymore.

01:45:36.520 We're not living in.

01:45:37.580 We're not living in a progressive era anymore.

01:45:39.280 We're living in postmodernist era.

01:45:41.660 They are intentionally trying to destroy the Western world. 0.94

01:45:47.360 We have evidence of it.

01:45:48.580 We have proof of it.

01:45:49.760 They say it.

01:45:51.020 They're marching in the streets.

01:45:53.560 No USA. 0.99

01:45:55.300 Okay.

01:45:55.900 They're talking about bringing down capitalism, bringing down the Western way of life.

01:46:00.900 At that point, you do need somebody who's willing to poke the hornet's nest.

01:46:07.940 I'm just I'm trying.

01:46:09.680 This is not Glenn Beck speaking.

01:46:11.240 Certainly.

01:46:11.920 I mean, I am trying to.

01:46:13.200 Yeah, I'm trying to understand it.

01:46:15.680 We will never get anywhere if we just say our point of view is the only point of view.

01:46:22.720 I'm trying to understand everybody's point of view.

01:46:25.840 There is an on how this and why you're accepting this because it's not normal.

01:46:29.720 It's an understandable case.

01:46:31.120 Right.

01:46:31.280 I mean, I think there are other understandable cases.

01:46:34.080 And it's not a typical.

01:46:34.680 Which I choose to select.

01:46:37.100 I agree with you.

01:46:37.220 I totally get that.

01:46:38.200 Look, here's the thing.

01:46:39.020 I'm in the minority by a lot, by the way.

01:46:41.240 I think we all are.

01:46:42.880 Here's the thing.

01:46:43.480 Pat, if you suddenly came in here and you were like, doesn't matter.

01:46:49.060 None of this matters.

01:46:50.720 Stu and I, as your friend, would say.

01:46:54.140 What's happening in your life?

01:46:55.340 Are you OK?

01:46:56.860 Yeah.

01:46:57.360 We know because we've known him for so long.

01:47:00.260 Absolutely.

01:47:00.480 He doesn't change like that.

01:47:02.580 We have to say to the Democrats that are saying, and I'm not talking about the people in Washington or on TV.

01:47:09.180 I'm talking about your neighbor who's always been sane.

01:47:11.980 And the same thing they have to do to the Republicans who they've always felt were sane.

01:47:17.280 Their friends, their family members.

01:47:20.300 And say this.

01:47:21.240 What is happening?

01:47:22.500 Why do you feel this way?

01:47:24.460 Get away from politics.

01:47:26.480 You have to see that people feel threatened.

01:47:31.380 We feel as though our life, our way of life, our way of making money, everything we understand all the way down to gender is being taken.

01:47:42.420 Yeah.

01:47:43.300 And we're being forced to do things we don't believe in.

01:47:48.040 And beyond not believe in, we think it's dangerous and destructive.

01:47:52.760 And that's why they're looking for somebody who carries a big fist.

01:48:00.060 That's why they don't.

01:48:02.020 They would not accept him if we were in the 1980s or or the or the 1950s, maybe in the 60s.

01:48:09.760 But but even in the 60s, the population was much more still, much more.

01:48:18.260 Let's go to the moon.

01:48:19.540 Let's build something great.

01:48:21.140 America's future is bright.

01:48:23.460 Now you talk to people and they say America's never been good.

01:48:27.500 Now we're on the ropes.

01:48:29.820 And it's we're accepting this for a reason.

01:48:32.280 And it has nothing to do with hatred.

01:48:34.120 It has a lot to do with fear and the media and the left are causing much of that fear.

01:48:43.980 And I believe intentionally.

01:48:48.520 Lots more on this on Pat Gray Unleashed today on the Blaze Radio and TV networks.

01:48:53.000 Check out the podcast or listen live.

01:48:55.700 I'll tell you a little bit about Liberty Safe.

01:49:09.120 It's Liberty Safe.

01:49:10.120 Now, if you go into Cabela's and I think it's the same with the Bass Pro Shops, but I know it is for Cabela's.

01:49:15.100 If you see those big safes and they say Cabela's on it, that's just labeling.

01:49:20.600 The Liberty makes all of the Cabela safes, but you can also get the Liberty Safe there marked a Liberty Safe at Cabela's and they're on sale right now.

01:49:29.180 The safes are amazing.

01:49:43.160 They're very nice.

01:49:44.360 They're by far the most valuable thing I own.

01:49:48.380 I mean, if I had my man card, I would demand your man card for that.

01:49:53.980 Luckily, that's not a concern.

01:49:55.000 Liberty Safe, do what I did.

01:50:16.700 I want to thank you for listening and I want to thank you for opening up your mind and I don't know if, I don't know anything anymore.

01:50:32.360 I don't have answers for anything anymore.

01:50:34.220 I have more questions than answers and I'm right, I'm wrong, but I'm always questioning.

01:50:40.180 And anybody who tells you that they do know exactly what's going on and this is the truth and the way it is, I think they're lying to you or they're Jesus.

01:50:51.400 Maybe they have a channel to Jesus, but it's a clear channel to Jesus.

01:50:55.140 I think we're all in the same boat trying to figure out where we go next.

01:50:59.020 I think we're all in the same boat trying to figure out where we go next.
