The Glenn Beck Program - Ignorance is Bliss？｜ Guests： Dave Isay, David Harsanyi, & Sara Place ｜ 2⧸12⧸19

00:00:00.000 All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing.

00:00:03.320 I have no idea when this is going to happen, but I'm telling you it's going to happen.

00:00:08.680 You're going to have a hard time getting loans.

00:00:11.400 Your rate is going to be extraordinarily high,

00:00:15.040 and you're not going to be wanting to have an adjustable loan.

00:00:19.260 If you want to buy a house, now is the time.

00:00:22.360 It's a buyer's market right now, and you want the right mortgage.

00:00:26.940 That's really important.

00:00:28.220 The people that work for you are American Financing.

00:00:51.900 It's AmericanFinancing.net.

00:00:58.220 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:12.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:15.300 Congresswoman Omar has come out,

00:01:19.580 and she has completely and unequivocally retracted what she said about Jews.

00:01:29.980 Unequivocally.

00:01:30.840 Well, I mean, except there are some problems with some Jews.

00:01:34.260 Well, Jews are bad. 1.00

00:01:35.260 Yeah.

00:01:35.580 I mean, sure.

00:01:36.060 But I completely withdraw that entirely.

00:01:39.960 In fact, I am so Jew friendly, here's Linda Sarsour to come to my defense.

00:01:46.300 And if that's not enough, on my other hand, here's David Duke running to my defense.

00:01:54.520 Oh, this is some fine eating today.

00:01:58.780 We are going to savor the few things that have come out in the last 24 hours,

00:02:05.180 and we begin the program in one minute.

00:02:10.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:13.260 Okay.

00:02:13.760 So now that everybody in the rest of the country is thawing out a little bit,

00:02:19.480 cars are not starting.

00:02:21.120 Everybody's getting into their car, and it's been frozen solid,

00:02:26.060 and nobody can start their cars all around the country now

00:02:28.720 because of last week's deep, deep, deep, deep freeze.

00:02:32.200 And people don't know what to do because they can't get their car into the mechanic.

00:02:36.980 Right, because they're so backed up.

00:02:37.960 Even if you have a problem unrelated to the cold,

00:02:40.400 you can't get it in to get it fixed.

00:02:41.700 You can't get it in to get fixed.

00:02:42.960 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:02:44.120 Not only are you going to have to wait,

00:02:45.740 what is that going to cost you?

00:02:47.380 Thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars, probably.

00:02:49.660 It might be covered if you have CarShield.

00:02:52.900 You should find out.

00:02:54.260 If you have CarShield,

00:02:55.180 they make the process of fixing your car for a covered repair really super easy,

00:02:59.820 and you can have any mechanic do it.

00:03:01.760 You can have the dealership do it.

00:03:03.560 You can have the mechanic down the street.

00:03:05.300 It doesn't matter.

00:03:06.060 And you're not waiting for the insurance company to pay you.

00:03:12.020 CarShield pays the person directly that is fixing the car.

00:03:15.480 So you're not waiting and taking that money out of your bank account.

00:03:20.480 All of this, you can have a free rental car as well because that's part of the deal with CarShield.

00:03:27.560 They get it fixed.

00:03:28.780 They pay for it.

00:03:29.700 They get you into a rental car.

00:04:00.380 So Congresswoman Omar from Minnesota is... 0.98

00:04:16.140 It's a little misunderstanding.

00:04:17.540 There was a little misunderstanding there.

00:04:19.220 She had no idea.

00:04:20.620 No, she didn't know.

00:04:21.560 She did not.

00:04:22.580 She did not know.

00:04:24.240 This happens from time to time.

00:04:25.620 People aren't perfect.

00:04:26.740 And people have to give time to be able to learn about different things in the world.

00:04:33.100 There's a lot of new concepts for people.

00:04:35.740 Right.

00:04:36.100 Did you know, Glenn, that in the past, Jews have had some issues and some people have not

00:04:43.380 liked them?

00:04:44.580 All right.

00:04:45.220 This is all news to me.

00:04:46.760 Well, let me just read.

00:04:48.400 Anti-Semitism is real. 0.54

00:04:50.040 And I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history

00:04:55.500 of anti-Semitic tropes.

00:04:57.480 Did you know?

00:04:58.100 I had no idea.

00:04:59.400 There were tropes out there like Jews use money to influence people and control the world.

00:05:06.880 I had never heard it before.

00:05:08.720 And neither has she.

00:05:09.940 That's probably one of the smaller tropes, don't you think?

00:05:13.040 Oh, I think so.

00:05:13.780 Yeah.

00:05:14.260 My intention was never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.

00:05:19.840 Oh, no.

00:05:20.260 We always have to be willing to step back and think through criticism, just as I expect

00:05:24.600 people to hear me when others attack me for my identity.

00:05:28.180 This is why I unequivocally apologize.

00:05:31.120 Now, it's interesting because she is using this opportunity of her own anti-Semitic anti-Semitism

00:05:39.480 to point out that she's also a victim.

00:05:42.460 She's also a victim, but she gets attacked all the time. 0.54

00:05:44.980 All the time she gets attacked.

00:05:46.020 And she hopes people listen to her.

00:05:47.280 Now, look, as a Palestinian or as a woman who is, what's her background?

00:05:52.800 Because I'm getting confused to live.

00:05:54.880 She's a Muslim.

00:05:55.040 She's Muslim.

00:05:55.720 She's Muslim.

00:05:56.440 How could she possibly in her life have come up with someone saying something anti-Semitic?

00:06:02.560 No.

00:06:02.680 It's incredibly unlikely that at any time in her background would she ever come across someone

00:06:08.100 else with an opinion like that.

00:06:10.380 Yeah.

00:06:10.660 No.

00:06:10.820 It's just not.

00:06:11.320 She's learning.

00:06:12.440 She has no.

00:06:14.060 No.

00:06:14.460 She has nobody around her ever in her life.

00:06:18.380 She has never heard as a Muslim anything that might be anti-Semitic.

00:06:25.080 In fact, she skips the parts of the Koran where it's like, oh, rocks cry out.

00:06:29.860 There's a Jew hiding behind me. 1.00

00:06:32.200 Oh, trees cry out.

00:06:33.520 She avoids those things for her.

00:06:35.560 She doesn't know.

00:06:37.120 But she does say she unequivocally apologizes.

00:06:39.820 At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics.

00:06:45.480 Wait.

00:06:46.120 Hmm?

00:06:46.580 Didn't she say it was unequivocal?

00:06:48.760 Yeah, it was unequivocal.

00:06:49.520 But she's equivocating here just a bit.

00:06:51.140 She just wants to point out that Jews are influencing our politics with their money. 0.99

00:06:56.580 So basically, she's saying she apologizes for any possible offense.

00:07:02.200 She wants you to know.

00:07:03.320 Let me summarize.

00:07:04.060 She wants you to know, Stu, that anti-Semitism is real.

00:07:08.640 There are real problems.

00:07:10.280 She wants to point out that there are real problems.

00:07:13.500 Unequivocally.

00:07:14.220 Unequivocally.

00:07:14.760 Yeah.

00:07:14.900 Real problems with anti-Semitism.

00:07:16.600 But perhaps they wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many Jews. 1.00

00:07:21.660 That makes sense.

00:07:22.760 Because it's true.

00:07:23.540 I mean, if there were less Jews, maybe the problem would be.

00:07:26.320 Correct.

00:07:26.800 Would be slightly less.

00:07:27.980 Would be less.

00:07:28.640 You know what I mean?

00:07:29.520 And here's Linda Sarsour to tell us more.

00:07:32.760 Now, Linda Sarsour.

00:07:34.320 This is unbelievable.

00:07:36.440 I mean, that is not the character witness you need at this time, man.

00:07:40.940 No.

00:07:41.100 I love this.

00:07:41.920 Linda, a women's march leader, Linda Sarsour, rushes to Representative Omar's defense. 1.00

00:07:47.820 I'm thinking, with friends like this, who needs enemies?

00:07:52.020 Yeah.

00:07:52.340 You don't know, Linda.

00:07:53.700 No.

00:07:54.040 Back away. 0.81

00:07:54.660 Back away. 0.81

00:07:55.660 Now, we remember Linda because Linda was the one in the women's march that we told you just recently,

00:08:02.200 as it was falling apart, that, remember, she was meeting with some Jewish women at the very beginning of the women's march.

00:08:11.160 And she was, you know, she was perhaps explaining some of these Jewish tropes, these anti-Jewish tropes to the Jewish women there.

00:08:22.780 It sounded like she was being very anti-Semitic, but I'm sure she was learning.

00:08:28.000 Anyway, she said, I will not be silenced in the face of attacks, harassment, and targeted policing of speech.

00:08:36.680 Hmm.

00:08:39.100 So, wait, Linda Sarsour is concerned about targeted speech. 1.00

00:08:46.020 Very concerned about it.

00:08:47.480 Now, sure, her entire organization exists to get people fired for things that they've said online. 1.00

00:08:54.440 But, you know, she's very concerned about the targeted speech thing.

00:08:57.680 And she's a great character witness.

00:08:59.040 I know, like, if I knew someone who was accused of sexual harassment, I would want Harvey Weinstein to jump right in and defend.

00:09:07.000 Right?

00:09:07.500 Right in there.

00:09:08.040 Please, Harvey, jump in.

00:09:09.120 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on just a second.

00:09:11.160 I'm receiving a message from beyond.

00:09:15.240 Hang on.

00:09:15.620 I'm just trying to translate this as the A-D-O-L-F.

00:09:29.040 H.

00:09:31.440 Okay.

00:09:32.320 I'm getting some sort of message somebody wants to communicate from beyond that is telling us that she's okay.

00:09:39.640 Oh, good.

00:09:40.220 She's okay.

00:09:41.100 She's got support here in this life and beyond, according to the Ouija board.

00:09:46.980 That's good to hear.

00:09:47.600 So, anyway, she says she is not going to stand by and see attacks and harassment and targeted policing of speech from a black Muslim woman elected official. 0.69

00:10:00.980 Our sister, Sister Omar, in the name of combating anti-Semitism.

00:10:06.340 We can stand up for Congresswoman Omar knowing her record and what she stands for.

00:10:13.400 Oh, she's been in Congress for like several weeks, so her record is very, very, very, very clear.

00:10:18.700 Yeah, she definitely has a record. 0.67

00:10:20.120 The record's not in Congress.

00:10:21.340 It's been the things that she's said over her lifetime, which indicate perhaps maybe she has heard some of these tropes before.

00:10:28.900 Maybe, maybe just a slight possibility that what she's saying now is complete bullcrap.

00:10:35.340 There's a possibility of it.

00:10:37.120 No.

00:10:37.280 I know, it's an outlandish possibility.

00:10:39.880 I mean, she's found humor in so many situations, Glenn.

00:10:43.320 So many wonderful situations.

00:10:44.740 Like, when she was talking about Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah in 2013.

00:10:49.460 This is, she was fantastic.

00:10:52.020 Let's listen to some of this.

00:10:54.620 A product of this sensationalized media.

00:10:59.280 You know, you have these sound bites and you have these words and everybody says it with such an intensity.

00:11:06.520 Right.

00:11:06.660 And so it must mean, it must hold a bigger meaning.

00:11:10.400 It sounds strange and weird.

00:11:12.220 I remember when I was in college, I took a terrorism class.

00:11:17.260 Is that a such thing?

00:11:18.240 Yeah, there was.

00:11:19.040 So you go, there is a lab for that?

00:11:20.760 There was a class that you.

00:11:22.580 Do you go to a lab?

00:11:23.640 No.

00:11:23.960 Go out a field trip?

00:11:24.860 We learned the ideology of.

00:11:27.280 I'm glad you do that.

00:11:28.500 And so it was, it was the thing that was interesting in the class was every time the, the, the professor said Al-Qaeda, he sort of like his shoulders went up and, you know, Al-Qaeda, you know, hospital.

00:11:42.880 He's an expert.

00:11:44.940 And he was, you know, what's his name?

00:11:47.460 We're going to put his name on the air.

00:11:49.060 What does he love?

00:11:50.640 That is so funny.

00:11:52.340 That is so funny.

00:11:53.380 He was like freaked out by Al-Qaeda.

00:11:55.840 Is it like he was an expert on Al-Qaeda?

00:11:58.340 You know, or, or Hezbollah, like he knows what terrorists are. 0.95

00:12:02.140 Let's, let's say where he lives.

00:12:03.540 Because that's a funny way to go with that.

00:12:05.340 Where does he live?

00:12:07.160 Oh, man.

00:12:08.480 She's hilarious.

00:12:09.460 Oh, she's great. 0.89

00:12:10.800 Hey, somebody else, you know, Tlaib?

00:12:13.380 Oh, yeah.

00:12:13.900 Yeah.

00:12:14.300 Congresswoman Tlaib. 1.00

00:12:16.280 She has, in 2006, a lot of people didn't know this, but she wrote an op-ed for the final call.

00:12:23.080 Oh, I love the final call.

00:12:24.400 You get the final call?

00:12:25.920 I think I do.

00:12:27.080 Is that, um, what is that?

00:12:29.060 That's Louis Farrakhan's newspaper.

00:12:31.840 So the final, we all get it.

00:12:33.860 I mean, who does?

00:12:34.380 Got a lifetime subscription.

00:12:35.200 Do you?

00:12:36.040 Oh, yeah.

00:12:36.360 It's really good.

00:12:37.400 Yeah.

00:12:37.840 So, uh, you know.

00:12:39.660 But how would any of these people come across anti-Semitic tropes?

00:12:42.880 They couldn't.

00:12:43.520 It's almost impossible in their life.

00:12:44.800 Well, she was talking about how Israel has a delusional ISIS-like ideology.

00:12:49.740 Oh, okay.

00:12:50.320 And that the creation of that country was a crime.

00:12:54.060 But other than that.

00:12:55.120 But other than that.

00:12:55.900 Well, there's nothing here.

00:12:57.920 No, no big deal.

00:12:58.860 There's not a long history here at all.

00:13:00.980 Uh, by the way, and I'm not making this up, David Duke also came in to, uh, tweet his

00:13:06.100 support.

00:13:06.880 David Duke's a big, he does not like the Jews.

00:13:09.520 People, you know.

00:13:10.420 Well, no, no, no, no, no.

00:13:11.220 On the front of his business card, it says, I don't like black people. 0.96

00:13:13.780 But if you really look at the resume, you notice he does not like Jews all that much either.

00:13:18.300 Not a fan.

00:13:19.160 Well, but he's not using tropes.

00:13:21.080 No, he occasionally will use a trope.

00:13:22.980 No, no, no, no.

00:13:24.420 He just talks facts.

00:13:25.560 Like, like, uh, Congresswoman Omar said.

00:13:28.860 You know, look, I don't want to be anti-Semitic, but there's some real problem with Jews.

00:13:35.780 So, right.

00:13:36.900 You know, that's what David Duke is doing.

00:13:38.520 He's like, I don't want to.

00:13:39.620 I'm sorry that I was using a trope.

00:13:41.520 I just need to tell you the facts.

00:13:43.100 If it wasn't for all these Jews, you know, we wouldn't have all these problems if it wasn't for all these Jews. 1.00

00:13:49.820 And hang on just a second.

00:13:51.800 I'm getting another.

00:13:53.800 I'm getting another message from beyond with the Ouija board.

00:13:56.780 It's this one's from H.

00:14:00.820 I.

00:14:03.340 M.

00:14:05.660 M.

00:14:07.720 L.

00:14:10.020 E.

00:14:10.400 Some.

00:14:10.920 Okay, I don't know.

00:14:11.580 Him.

00:14:12.300 Somebody.

00:14:12.660 I don't know.

00:14:13.460 I don't have time.

00:14:14.140 We have to take a quick break.

00:14:15.280 Back in a minute.

00:14:16.220 We'll try to try to find out.

00:14:18.880 Might be Himmler.

00:14:19.960 Might be Himmler.

00:14:21.060 I'm not sure, but I'm sure it's a very positive message.

00:14:23.980 Here is.

00:14:25.640 Here is our sponsor this half hour.

00:14:27.600 It is American financing.

00:14:29.920 American financing.

00:14:30.980 Finding your dream home is only half of the battle when it comes to home ownership.

00:14:34.260 The other half is figuring out, hey, how do we how do we pay for this purchase?

00:14:40.040 That causes a lot of stress.

00:14:41.680 Okay, well, you can take away that stress because you can hire the people who are salary

00:14:49.100 based mortgage consultants from American financing.

00:14:52.540 And when I say hire them, I don't mean hire them like here's a bunch of fees that you have

00:14:56.900 to pay up front.

00:14:57.840 No, no.

00:14:58.520 You just call them 10 minutes.

00:15:00.140 They can get you pre-approval.

00:15:01.520 Then they'll go out and they'll look for the right loan for you.

00:15:04.520 Okay, there's no upfront fees or anything like that.

00:15:07.660 Then when they find it, you buy the loan through them.

00:15:11.060 Now, they are not associated with any of the banks.

00:15:13.940 They don't take kickbacks from the banks.

00:15:15.600 So they find the right one.

00:15:17.040 They really, truly listen to you.

00:15:18.780 Think of the opportunity now.

00:15:19.780 I remember my parents bought our house when I was a kid in the early 80s.

00:15:24.360 Imagine buying a house in that environment.

00:15:26.100 People who went through that.

00:15:27.820 I mean, you're talking about 15, 16, 17% interest rates.

00:15:31.400 Yeah.

00:15:31.560 Now you can lock in 30-year rates at 4%.

00:15:34.120 It's crazy.

00:15:35.060 I mean, that is not coming back.

00:15:36.880 It's not going to hang on forever.

00:15:37.780 It's not going to last.

00:15:38.140 It's not going to come back.

00:15:39.500 So get American financing to help you.

00:15:41.960 They work for you.

00:15:43.480 A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau.

00:16:13.140 10 seconds.

00:16:13.640 Station ID.

00:16:25.740 You know, I have to tell you, I feel bad for Congresswoman Omar a little bit because we've all been through these kinds of situations before where, you know, you do something and you just didn't know.

00:16:48.520 Like, for instance, we had some new neighbors move in just down the street.

00:16:54.220 This nice black family.

00:16:56.800 And we wanted to do something nice for them.

00:17:00.000 And we were going to go over to their house.

00:17:01.820 We live in a very Christian neighborhood.

00:17:03.400 And we wanted to welcome them and say, hey, we're Christians.

00:17:06.240 We're probably sure you're Christians, too.

00:17:08.840 And we wanted to do something nice and spectacular.

00:17:11.200 So we brought a big crossover and we put it in their front yard.

00:17:14.180 And because it was night, I wanted to make sure they saw it.

00:17:16.820 We just lit it on fire.

00:17:18.740 Because they could definitely see that.

00:17:20.080 They'd be able to see the outline of the cross.

00:17:21.880 Well, I find out they're all offended.

00:17:23.660 I find out.

00:17:24.380 And I had no idea.

00:17:26.360 Offended?

00:17:26.820 That a burning cross was some sort of clan trope.

00:17:30.220 And they were like, your family was all dressed with white hoods.

00:17:33.240 And I'm like, no, not because of the clan.

00:17:35.320 I had no idea.

00:17:36.920 I'm learning a lot.

00:17:38.240 I'm learning a lot.

00:17:39.160 Yeah.

00:17:40.320 So why were you wearing a white hood?

00:17:43.480 Safety first.

00:17:44.540 Okay.

00:17:44.940 What are you going to wear?

00:17:45.520 Black? 0.74

00:17:46.000 I said, kids, make sure that every car can see you.

00:17:49.120 Make sure you're dressed in the white.

00:17:51.100 And put this pointy white hood on because it's a little cold outside.

00:17:54.780 But make sure it's white.

00:17:55.780 So we did that.

00:17:56.860 I'm learning a lot.

00:17:58.120 And I apologize.

00:18:00.460 I unequivocally.

00:18:02.200 Unequivocally.

00:18:02.680 Just divorce myself from all of that.

00:18:07.240 I had no idea.

00:18:09.180 You know, but at the same time, I do want to point out that blacks are moving into Christian 1.00

00:18:13.200 white neighborhoods.

00:18:14.680 So.

00:18:16.200 But I.

00:18:17.100 But that has nothing to do.

00:18:19.540 That's not an equivocation.

00:18:20.820 Right.

00:18:21.140 No, no, no, no.

00:18:22.680 Because it seems.

00:18:23.260 I mean, because some people might say the thing you're apologizing for, you're following up

00:18:27.260 immediately by reinforcing so that.

00:18:29.520 No, ask David Duke.

00:18:30.660 He even came to my defense.

00:18:32.280 Oh, he did?

00:18:32.820 Yeah.

00:18:33.260 Oh, wow.

00:18:34.000 Yeah.

00:18:34.240 Well, it's good to have a very prominent figure like David to come to your defense in a situation

00:18:38.280 like that.

00:18:39.320 And David's been endorsing candidates and everything all over the place.

00:18:42.660 They seem to be in the Democratic primary, which is a little weird.

00:18:45.600 So, you know, what's weird is also I was.

00:18:47.820 I was welcoming a young intern to the business here just recently.

00:18:55.220 You run a business.

00:18:55.900 A lot of times it's it's good for a person who's high level in the business to kind of

00:19:00.260 talk to the person who's an intern level, make them feel welcome.

00:19:04.060 Right.

00:19:04.340 And I later found out that that apparently a very vigorous no pants welcome is considered

00:19:12.620 by some in some female cultures as sexual abuse. 0.90

00:19:18.520 Now, I had no idea.

00:19:21.220 I honestly thought you were about to say it's considered to be awesome.

00:19:24.260 Right.

00:19:24.720 And that's not right.

00:19:25.740 No, it is considered.

00:19:27.340 Now, I'm learning a lot about females and different cultures. 1.00

00:19:31.140 Oh, wow.

00:19:31.560 I had no idea that was considered abusive at all.

00:19:36.360 I will tell you, you know, that you got to be careful because I mean, she was the way she

00:19:41.900 was dressed, the way she was dressed.

00:19:43.180 She wanted it.

00:19:44.340 You know what I mean?

00:19:44.860 It didn't seem like.

00:19:45.680 But I unequivocally divorced myself from any kind of of of predatory kind of of course action.

00:19:55.000 Although if she didn't want it, she shouldn't have dressed that way is what you're saying.

00:19:57.860 That's right.

00:19:58.680 Of course.

00:19:59.180 Yeah.

00:19:59.400 Yeah.

00:19:59.560 Yeah.

00:19:59.760 But you should be aware that some women in some cultures don't like a no pants policy. 1.00

00:20:06.100 Wow.

00:20:06.540 I feel like I'm in college.

00:20:08.080 I'm just like I'm at university learning learning.

00:20:10.400 I'm absorbing so much here because these these customs are unfamiliar to me.

00:20:16.760 Yeah.

00:20:16.880 They're just wild and crazy.

00:20:18.880 And there's something I mean, look, as a Palestinian or a Muslim, there's no way you could ever pick

00:20:23.480 up that there were tropes against Jews in your entire life.

00:20:27.360 You'd never hear them.

00:20:29.020 No.

00:20:29.180 She's learning right now about those things.

00:20:31.880 You know what?

00:20:32.400 Just like you're learning about running a business.

00:20:34.300 So what's so crazy, I went to the the the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, which is

00:20:41.520 in the you know, the Native American territory.

00:20:45.520 Oh, sure.

00:20:46.060 OK.

00:20:46.340 And I thought, you know, hey, this is great.

00:20:48.840 I'm going to go get me some one pump.

00:20:51.020 And so I came up and I was like, hey, I'm in the gift shop.

00:20:55.260 Hey, chief, you know, where's the one pump?

00:20:58.940 Because me smoke them one pump.

00:21:01.240 I bet they really like that because I was trying to relate to them.

00:21:04.420 Yes.

00:21:04.680 You know what I mean?

00:21:05.460 But all that I found out is some Indian cultures find that to be offensive.

00:21:13.800 You're kidding.

00:21:14.940 No, you are kidding me.

00:21:16.640 No, no.

00:21:17.800 Wow.

00:21:18.180 No, no.

00:21:18.840 And I unequivocally separate myself from any kind of racism with the Native Americans.

00:21:29.080 Absolutely.

00:21:29.780 They are our friends.

00:21:31.140 But I would like to point out that, you know, if Andrew Jackson would have done his job, you

00:21:37.320 know, we could have all gone to the South Rim and we wouldn't have had a problem with.

00:21:42.620 Now, that does seem like an equivocation of some.

00:21:45.080 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:21:46.880 I'm just learning.

00:21:47.920 I want to point out, though, that there is some problems.

00:21:52.400 You know, there are problems.

00:21:54.120 I think you did mention this incident to me because this is the time you were wearing the

00:21:57.560 Trail of Tears t-shirt.

00:22:00.220 And they didn't like that.

00:22:01.700 Well, it wasn't a t-shirt.

00:22:02.760 It was shoes.

00:22:03.680 I took shoes and I put a Native American face on them. 0.97

00:22:10.480 Well, inside the shoe.

00:22:11.800 So you were walking, you know, the Trail of Tears.

00:22:14.680 There were the new Trail of Tears.

00:22:15.800 A lot like Katy Perry's new shoes.

00:22:17.280 Oh, okay.

00:22:17.840 I just want to say none of this is offensive at all.

00:22:20.800 And it's just about learning.

00:22:22.300 This is about us learning together.

00:22:23.680 If I've offended anyone, I had no idea.

00:22:26.180 Oh, my gosh, no.

00:22:26.980 I had no idea.

00:22:28.360 We're learning.

00:22:29.300 Yes.

00:22:29.620 This is like school.

00:22:30.680 You can get credit for this.

00:22:31.700 Let me tell you what's happening at the University of Maryland.

00:22:34.940 You're not going to believe that.

00:22:37.040 But the University of Maryland came out with a statement that I think we should all hear

00:22:41.900 and support.

00:22:44.300 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:46.640 Yeah, that's coming up next.

00:22:48.040 Okay, if you're in constant pain, you're not alone.

00:22:50.080 There are about 50 million people that are in constant pain here in America that miss

00:22:56.260 work due to pain.

00:22:57.460 I have to tell you, I relate.

00:23:04.620 There are days that I just cannot get up.

00:23:08.680 There are days that my wife on Sunday said to me, go back to bed. 0.89

00:23:14.260 And I'm like, we got to go to church.

00:23:15.820 And she's like, go back to bed. 0.96

00:23:18.400 My pain was so off the charts.

00:23:20.780 That was me almost every day for about five years.

00:23:25.180 I could barely function.

00:23:27.460 I started taking Relief Factor.

00:23:29.740 I still have some bad days, but by far, my good days outweigh.

00:23:36.120 Please try it.

00:23:37.340 Try for three weeks.

00:24:58.120 Hey, it's the Glenn Beck Program.

00:25:12.540 Pat, I know you're a big fan of Katy Perry.

00:25:17.260 Oh.

00:25:18.620 But she has done something that I just can't believe.

00:25:25.800 Have you seen them?

00:25:27.100 I've seen them.

00:25:28.080 Oh, my goodness.

00:25:28.880 In case you haven't seen them, here they are.

00:25:30.740 Oh, my goodness.

00:25:30.960 The blackface shoes.

00:25:33.080 I call them mammy slippers because they're clearly mammy slippers. 0.99

00:25:36.960 Obviously.

00:25:38.020 That's clearly what she was talking about.

00:25:40.360 And so they have been pulled from stores.

00:25:44.400 They also look a little bit like Mr. Potato Head slippers.

00:25:47.220 They do.

00:25:47.760 Well, this one looks like Mr. Potato Head, which is obviously an anti-potato statement.

00:25:55.440 And this is clearly a mammy slipper. 0.99

00:25:59.360 Wow.

00:25:59.760 And I say we tie stones around her, throw her into a lake. 0.98

00:26:04.780 If she floats, we know she means it.

00:26:07.200 Right.

00:26:07.400 And we'll have to kill her. 0.61

00:26:08.920 If she doesn't float. 0.76

00:26:10.420 She's a witch. 1.00

00:26:11.400 She's an innocent. 1.00

00:26:12.520 Oh, yeah.

00:26:12.860 If she's innocent, she doesn't float. 0.89

00:26:14.180 All right.

00:26:14.440 Yeah.

00:26:14.720 That's the word.

00:26:15.380 I was confused.

00:26:16.340 I wasn't sure.

00:26:17.060 We're going to have a no fascist bonfire tonight.

00:26:20.660 We'll give you the details of where we're going to be.

00:26:22.700 But we're going to have a big bonfire.

00:26:23.820 We're going to throw books and shoes and everything else that we don't like into a big bonfire.

00:26:28.840 And just to make our point, no fascists.

00:26:31.480 Oh, it's a great way to celebrate.

00:26:32.600 No fascists.

00:26:33.280 Okay.

00:26:33.980 So, so Pat is very excited about the border.

00:26:38.760 I can't.

00:26:39.540 It finally happened.

00:26:40.580 It's fixed.

00:26:41.280 We're done now.

00:26:42.800 We, uh, yeah, I don't think we are.

00:26:44.820 No, we're cool.

00:26:45.520 Totally.

00:26:46.040 This is totally cool.

00:26:46.960 Cause they got $1.375 billion to build a full 55 miles of border wall.

00:26:56.660 I mean, that's impenetrable.

00:26:58.820 Hang on.

00:26:59.200 Just get around or over that on a 2000 mile border.

00:27:02.620 You can't hold it.

00:27:03.480 Just a second.

00:27:04.040 I thought we know that estimates and they're always wrong.

00:27:08.040 Estimates are that it's going to take at least $20 billion to build a fixed.

00:27:12.940 I've heard 25, but now we're, we're okay.

00:27:16.040 No, it's fixed.

00:27:16.920 But we had 5 billion, right?

00:27:19.900 Yeah, we did.

00:27:20.480 Well, it was initially, it was initially it was 25.

00:27:23.720 They did offer the full amount, uh, just a year ago, uh, but that, that, that's no longer

00:27:29.520 available.

00:27:30.040 And then before the shutdown, they did offer $1.7 billion.

00:27:35.660 Um, and now after the shutdown, they're getting everything they need.

00:27:39.820 The $1.5 billion through deft and expert negotiation, they were able to get just a little bit less

00:27:48.400 than the worst offer, uh, before the shutdown.

00:27:51.440 So here's the problem.

00:27:52.620 Here is the price.

00:27:53.800 Seriously.

00:27:54.220 Here is the problem.

00:27:55.100 He blinked.

00:27:56.900 The great thing.

00:27:57.840 The reason why Donald Trump is one of the best negotiators.

00:28:01.520 And I mean this sincerely, my favorite Donald Trump story.

00:28:04.620 You've heard it a million times is how he built Trump tower on fifth Avenue.

00:28:08.600 They have air rights in New York.

00:28:11.300 People own the air above your building, right?

00:28:14.780 Above your building.

00:28:15.520 So Tiffany's, which is on the corner opposite of, uh, of Trump tower and about half a block

00:28:22.940 away, Tiffany's actually owns all of the air above fifth Avenue for a couple of blocks.

00:28:29.680 And so you couldn't build anything over like, I think four stories on fifth Avenue in those

00:28:35.860 blocks because of Tiffany's.

00:28:37.420 So he went to Tiffany.

00:28:39.420 It was either Tiffany's or Cartier.

00:28:40.740 I think it was Tiffany's.

00:28:41.960 Um, and he said, um, before he left, he talked to his architect and said, I want you to draw

00:28:48.160 up two plans.

00:28:48.900 I want you to drop the Trump tower that we we've been talking about a beautiful tower.

00:28:52.860 And I want you to draw up the plans for the ugliest building that is five stories, ugliest building

00:29:01.180 you could possibly ever imagine.

00:29:04.040 And so he did.

00:29:05.420 And he brought them both to a meeting and he said, Hey, I want to build Trump tower.

00:29:09.420 And, uh, the owner of the air rights said, no, well, uh, well, there won't be anything over

00:29:15.840 five stories here because we own the air rights and we're not going to sell them to you.

00:29:19.660 We don't want some monstrosity here.

00:29:21.500 And he said, you know what?

00:29:23.160 You are so right.

00:29:24.500 You are so right.

00:29:25.420 Now I've already bought this property with plans to build this, but I knew that you might

00:29:30.260 be, um, set on a small building.

00:29:33.000 So here's what I'm going to build.

00:29:34.900 If you don't sell me the air rights and he laid it out and he said, I'll leave it up to you,

00:29:40.580 but I want you to know I will build that building.

00:29:45.860 He did not blink.

00:29:47.620 And he's a great negotiator because when he got back to the office, they were already on

00:29:52.640 the phone saying, come back.

00:29:54.100 We'll do that because they knew that son of a bitch will do it. 1.00

00:30:00.100 He blinked.

00:30:01.460 He, he made a promise that he wasn't willing to keep and they knew that he wouldn't keep

00:30:09.380 it.

00:30:09.640 All of his power goes away.

00:30:11.900 Remember, he is the president that I've been looking for for a while.

00:30:17.080 And this one category, a guy with a twitchy eye.

00:30:20.560 I've said this for years.

00:30:22.180 You want your enemies need to feel like the president has a twitchy eye where they look

00:30:28.160 at each other and go, that guy just might do it.

00:30:30.540 I think he's nuts.

00:30:32.280 So I preferred that that's why Russia looked at our, our president, not necessarily the

00:30:37.900 people in our own country, but he has that twitchy eye and you never know what he's going

00:30:44.560 to do.

00:30:45.180 Well, he telegraphed that he was willing to cave.

00:30:49.180 We should clarify.

00:30:50.200 He hasn't done that yet.

00:30:51.760 No, he hasn't.

00:30:52.340 Right.

00:30:52.520 So they, this deal was supposedly struck up between Republicans and Democrats.

00:30:57.520 He still has not signed it or approved it yet.

00:31:00.900 He could still reject it.

00:31:02.620 Now I, how lame are Republicans though?

00:31:06.000 For example, how lame are they?

00:31:08.560 I think no, they've never had any intention.

00:31:11.260 They haven't.

00:31:11.820 They never had any intention.

00:31:13.040 55 miles of border protection is like finding out you have lung cancer and your doctor says,

00:31:19.360 here's a throat lozenge.

00:31:20.720 Good luck.

00:31:22.040 Wait, that's it?

00:31:23.240 That's what I get for lung cancer?

00:31:25.140 Yeah.

00:31:25.780 That's what 55 miles of border is.

00:31:27.640 When you have a 2000 mile border, it's nothing.

00:31:31.320 It doesn't, it doesn't help.

00:31:32.860 The problem is not even worth doing.

00:31:34.320 I think where you can look at this and say, there's a real problem is that Democrats know

00:31:39.080 that this is all being blamed on Republicans.

00:31:41.460 If there is on their shutdowns, they have absolutely no leverage here.

00:31:45.340 And part of that is because Trump came out and said, it was me.

00:31:47.560 Like, I look, the shutdown is mine.

00:31:49.220 I own it.

00:31:49.880 And he thought he could stick with that.

00:31:51.860 But he, I think he found out that didn't work for him because he didn't make the case

00:31:57.120 relentlessly.

00:31:58.340 And then he needed to make the case.

00:32:01.000 The American people could have been with him if he made the case.

00:32:04.320 Look at how Democrats do that.

00:32:06.480 They pound their case daily.

00:32:08.880 Yeah, but they also have, they also have the press, which makes it really easy.

00:32:13.480 Yeah, but the president's got Fox News.

00:32:15.400 I mean, they could, they'd help him with this.

00:32:17.020 The president has Fox News.

00:32:18.260 He also has talk radio.

00:32:19.800 He does, right.

00:32:20.660 He has tons of outlets.

00:32:22.820 Remember what President Obama was doing.

00:32:24.920 You could be pounding this message.

00:32:25.400 Remember what President Obama was doing at the end of his term?

00:32:28.160 He was only talking to bloggers.

00:32:31.980 Yeah.

00:32:32.640 You know?

00:32:33.360 YouTubers. 0.92

00:32:33.680 YouTubers and bloggers.

00:32:35.760 Why the president isn't on, you know, Ben Shapiro's show.

00:32:43.220 Why he's not on.

00:32:44.220 I mean, I'll understand why he wasn't on our show.

00:32:47.120 It might be a little wounding for him or for me either way.

00:32:52.120 But I welcome him to make his case here.

00:32:55.020 Well, of course, yes.

00:32:55.720 People know the case on the border, don't they?

00:32:58.180 I mean, people are aware that what's going on in the border.

00:33:00.360 And they're still not.

00:33:00.900 Did you see what people were saying?

00:33:02.880 I don't know.

00:33:04.040 I don't know.

00:33:04.440 You see how it was?

00:33:05.840 Look at the poll numbers, even from Republicans towards the end.

00:33:09.320 Right.

00:33:09.720 I mean, they're not good.

00:33:10.720 And we've been talking about this for how long?

00:33:12.020 Not good.

00:33:12.720 I mean, you know.

00:33:13.780 How many times?

00:33:14.380 20 years.

00:33:15.200 20 years.

00:33:16.240 And Trump, at least for four.

00:33:18.420 Yeah.

00:33:18.740 We're coming up on four years since he came down that escalator and made that speech.

00:33:21.900 The border's been the biggest issue in the country ever since.

00:33:24.300 Look, the problem is with the Republicans is they don't have any big ideas.

00:33:29.420 Yeah.

00:33:29.740 No, there's nothing.

00:33:30.040 Look at how.

00:33:31.300 Even if they did, they couldn't sell it.

00:33:32.780 I know.

00:33:33.120 Look at how the Green New Deal is being embraced by millennials.

00:33:37.380 Millennials.

00:33:38.300 Yeah.

00:33:38.460 You can sell the Green New Deal to your base, but we can't sell anything to the conservative

00:33:45.460 base.

00:33:45.700 Because we don't have anything new.

00:33:47.320 We're not reaching out for the stars.

00:33:50.160 Look at what we did yesterday.

00:33:52.320 He signed an executive order for AI, but it was not an inspirational AI executive order.

00:34:00.440 It really did nothing.

00:34:01.440 It said, OK, to the to the departments all in the United States government, you should

00:34:08.560 look into AI and see if we can develop, you know, friendly AI, et cetera.

00:34:13.740 There's a moment here where he could have said, look, the world is on the edge of profound

00:34:20.180 change, and it's either going to be good or it's going to be bad.

00:34:23.040 We're going to be the leaders of good while everyone else is pursuing AI just to conquer

00:34:29.600 the world.

00:34:30.200 We are going to pursue AI to help us solve cancer and cure cancer and muscular dystrophy

00:34:37.560 and multiple sclerosis.

00:34:39.660 We are going to cure things in the next 10 years because the United States is going to

00:34:44.080 find a way to get AI and be there first.

00:34:48.740 Everyone else wants to have it so they can conquer the world. 0.54

00:34:51.840 We want to do it so we can conquer hunger.

00:34:54.980 We can conquer slavery.

00:34:56.700 We can conquer sex trade. 0.93

00:34:58.760 We can conquer cancer.

00:35:01.520 That's inspiring.

00:35:03.400 And it would cost you almost nothing.

00:35:06.520 What about flat tax reform?

00:35:08.120 You could this would be the time to do it with all the extreme proposals on the left.

00:35:13.080 People want something new.

00:35:15.220 They want something new.

00:35:17.120 Or at least bold.

00:35:18.000 I mean, the flat tax isn't new, but at least it's bold.

00:35:19.720 It is new because nobody's ever really seriously considered it and done it.

00:35:25.240 I mean, I think that was one of the issues with the speech, which was a good speech.

00:35:28.200 I thought generally.

00:35:28.600 I thought it was a great speech.

00:35:29.420 But there was not a bold new idea there.

00:35:31.860 I thought there was at the end and the beginning, but it was all about coming together and uniting.

00:35:37.200 But you have to unite around an idea bigger than unification.

00:35:44.160 You know what I mean?

00:35:45.720 He started out great when he said, look, we united against the Nazis for freedom of the world.

00:35:52.480 We united and put a man on the moon.

00:35:55.260 Yes, it does bring us together when there's a big idea.

00:35:59.320 And in a vacuum where there are no big ideas, a big idea like let's get rid of every car and airplane in the next 10 years.

00:36:07.180 People like the sound of a new deal.

00:36:11.000 And they will run to it.

00:36:12.520 You'll notice the college campus reform just did a video that's really good.

00:36:19.080 Yeah.

00:36:19.480 They said, are you for it?

00:36:21.120 Oh, absolutely.

00:36:22.480 It's a time.

00:36:23.780 Finally, it's a big idea.

00:36:25.880 I like these ideas where we're going to go take something on.

00:36:29.120 It's progressive.

00:36:29.960 I really like that.

00:36:31.060 It's progressive.

00:36:31.960 As soon as they start reading the details, they're like, wait, no, that's stupid.

00:36:36.140 We don't want to do that.

00:36:37.180 No, that's no.

00:36:37.940 That's crazy.

00:36:38.640 No, no, no, no, no.

00:36:40.760 Where are the big ideas?

00:36:43.540 Where are the things that we can all unite around?

00:36:47.100 They're too timid to do any of them.

00:36:48.700 That has to be the president's message.

00:36:50.920 He cannot spend the next year.

00:36:53.440 They are going to spend it on division.

00:36:55.980 You have to spend it on a uniting idea, a big idea.

00:37:01.500 And you can't just say the wall.

00:37:04.500 If you want to make it about the wall, Mike Lee says there is a legal way, constitutional way to build it in some areas.

00:37:14.960 Without an executive order?

00:37:16.920 With an executive order.

00:37:18.400 And he said it would be constitutional.

00:37:21.000 Not all of it, but a good portion of it.

00:37:23.780 You want to pursue that?

00:37:25.220 As long as it's constitutional, pursue that.

00:37:28.860 Pursue that.

00:37:29.520 But then add in things like, let's make this easier for people who really want to be here to come in.

00:37:39.780 Let's widen the door while at the same time we shut off the illegal immigration. 1.00

00:37:48.440 Just start on that.

00:37:51.240 Let's widen the door.

00:37:52.520 If you have a mind for AI, if you're one of the best AI people around, we want to use it to cure cancer, not to control people.

00:38:02.220 Come here.

00:38:03.440 We welcome you.

00:38:04.840 Your green card, your visa will be easy to get.

00:38:07.680 It'll be the easiest place to come in to research for AI.

00:38:11.300 AI, he's got to start making, he's got to start showing progress on the future instead of digging into the past because the left is not digging into the past.

00:38:23.720 Well, they are.

00:38:24.300 It's the spooky 1940 past, but it seems new to everybody who's never read a history book.

00:38:32.560 Thanks, Pat.

00:38:35.060 Liberty safes.

00:38:36.300 Liberty safes aren't just for men.

00:38:38.260 Liberty safes can be for people like Stu as well.

00:38:41.300 I don't, I don't, I don't, I mean, I am a, I don't identify as something different if that's what you're getting at.

00:38:48.540 Right now, I'm a, I'm a man or a boy.

00:38:51.560 When you put the, when you put the, when you put the purses in.

00:38:55.780 Just to be clear, I don't, I don't personally put the purses in the safe.

00:38:59.540 My wife puts her purses in the safe and my wife's purses cost more than your home. 1.00

00:39:04.920 So they deserve to be in a Liberty safe.

00:39:07.620 They should be protected.

00:39:08.440 Like the, my, the retirement plan.

00:39:10.820 They are.

00:39:11.660 I remember the stew that I first met before Lisa.

00:39:15.220 I remember that guy who would have said those purses are stupid.

00:39:19.600 They're stupid expensive.

00:39:21.800 No, they're definitely stupid expensive.

00:39:24.160 But at this point, I mean, my 401k is cleaned out to buy them.

00:39:27.760 I better, I better protect them in some way.

00:39:29.320 So anyway, Liberty safe, Liberty safe.

00:39:31.320 You can put things in like your purses or your guns or your medication, anything that you don't want people getting.

00:39:37.520 They're the best built safes on the planet bar none.

00:39:40.300 Their engineers developed the newest revolution in home safes, a military style locking bar, which is really cool.

00:39:47.040 They're also an American company that provides work for hundreds of American workers.

00:39:51.320 And they, they build them in the factory and ship them right through their independent authorized dealers.

00:39:57.820 They put their safes to test that through tests that prove that they stand up while the competitors don't.

00:40:04.580 It's a Liberty safe.

00:40:05.620 Check them out now.

00:40:06.440 Liberty safe.com.

00:40:07.620 That's Liberty safe.com.

00:40:09.320 We have some really good news coming up in just a few minutes.

00:40:24.060 We also have David Harsanian, who is looking at the Green New Deal.

00:40:31.060 And we'll go into that coming up.

00:40:34.220 We also have to tell you about the University of Maryland.

00:40:36.760 And, you know, they're going through all of the old yearbooks now in the University of Maryland.

00:40:42.040 They found in the 50s and 60s, people were wearing blackface and doing all kinds of inappropriate things.

00:40:47.100 Oh, my.

00:40:47.580 And so what did the the president of the university come out and say?

00:40:51.400 We have to remember that this is in the past and we can't judge what's happening today with what was happening in the past.

00:41:01.160 We are different people and a different in a different time and a different university.

00:41:06.760 This does not reflect on who we are today.

00:41:09.840 Now, just completely true.

00:41:11.520 Yes, it is.

00:41:12.800 I wanted him to say now, everybody get into your American history class because we have to take down the founding fathers and tell you how racist they are.

00:41:20.040 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:21.360 And this is a it's very true.

00:41:24.260 That is how you should judge people.

00:41:25.520 It is.

00:41:26.140 I mean, Soul Man came out in the mid 80s.

00:41:28.200 It was a major studio release of a movie of a guy in blackface.

00:41:33.720 Like, this is not this was a very different time.

00:41:37.020 And I'm glad we don't do that anymore.

00:41:39.380 But you have to judge it within context of that time.

00:41:42.240 Let's look at the positive side.

00:41:43.740 Do we not believe?

00:41:46.380 Why do we like Shawshank Redemption?

00:41:48.560 You could be one thing, but you can be redeemed and change your life.

00:41:55.360 Isn't that the point of living a life?

00:42:02.060 First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

00:42:04.380 Relief Factor is is something I started taking about a year ago.

00:42:08.280 We've been advertising it for about five years, and I've seen people take it and them actually get out of pain.

00:42:15.300 I am somebody who this is not a good thing.

00:42:18.280 I don't say this proudly, but I just, you know, the, you know, 100% natural usually is a turnoff for me.

00:42:24.860 I'm like, uh-huh, right.

00:42:25.860 I need some petrochemicals in it.

00:42:28.540 I don't know why.

00:42:29.640 Again, this is a bad thing, but this 100% natural.

00:42:31.460 So I didn't take it for a long time until my pain just got to the point where I just couldn't live this way anymore.

00:42:36.260 And I was desperate.

00:42:37.440 And so I tried it for three weeks like they recommend.

00:42:39.680 If it doesn't work in three weeks, it's probably not going to work for you.

00:42:42.020 That's why they say for $19.95, try it for three weeks.

00:42:45.660 You take it, breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three weeks.

00:42:48.300 If you see a difference in your pain, order again.

00:42:51.580 70% of the people that take it and try it for three weeks go on to order more month after month.

00:42:56.660 Like I've been taking it now three times a day for over a year.

00:42:59.920 It's still working?

00:43:00.740 Still working.

00:43:01.440 It is.

00:43:02.260 It's remarkable.

00:43:04.080 At least for me.

00:43:05.160 Try it.

00:43:06.240 Relieffactor.com.

00:43:08.160 Relieffactor.com.

00:43:09.600 A natural, drug-free way to ease your pain.

00:43:12.600 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:43:39.600 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:41.400 So we are about to kneel down to the chocolate god and make our sacrifice on Valentine's Day.

00:43:53.060 But Valentine's Day is more than just chocolate and flowers and everything else.

00:43:57.760 It should be a reminder to us of the ones in our life that we really, truly love.

00:44:06.860 And it grows beyond what it was when we first met.

00:44:12.180 It's hard to do.

00:44:14.020 It's really hard to do.

00:44:15.140 Marriage is really difficult.

00:44:16.860 But it is so worth it.

00:44:19.840 I want to introduce you to a couple that you may have heard their story before.

00:44:27.120 But I'm not sure you've heard all of their story.

00:44:30.360 And we go there in one minute.

00:44:33.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:51.680 That's Simply Safe's motto, really.

00:44:54.460 That's their mission.

00:44:55.700 I remember when this company had six employees and now three million families are having their home protected by Simply Safe.

00:45:03.760 And it's really it's a no-brainer.

00:45:07.200 It's going to cost you so much less.

00:45:31.620 Because you're you are just costing me an arm and a leg.

00:45:35.860 There's a new better way to do it.

00:45:37.600 We got Simply Safe for my sister-in-law and her family.

00:45:40.380 She has two small kids and they rent.

00:45:42.580 And they were, you know, they were going to be moving in a few months.

00:45:44.700 And it's like, well, do we get a security system?

00:45:46.300 What are we going to do?

00:45:46.860 Well, this is easy.

00:45:47.720 It was Simply Safe.

00:46:18.200 Dave, I say, is the guy who came up with the idea of StoryCorps.

00:46:33.580 And StoryCorps is this really cool service, if you will, that is recording voices for our national archives.

00:46:42.560 And they're recording our stories.

00:46:45.140 And they do this all over the country in many different ways.

00:46:48.760 But we wanted to talk to Dave on Valentine's Week about the people who they have found that are deeply, deeply in love.

00:46:58.140 Welcome to the program, David.

00:47:00.160 Glenn, it's great to be back.

00:47:01.960 Thank you.

00:47:02.500 So tell me about Danny and Annie.

00:47:06.360 Sure.

00:47:08.500 This is the story you were mentioning a little bit earlier.

00:47:11.420 Danny and Annie, and as you said, StoryCorps is this project where we have booths all across the country.

00:47:17.640 We're a nonprofit.

00:47:18.500 And you come with a loved one, for the most part.

00:47:20.860 And you sit for 40 minutes and record your story with each other, just in audio.

00:47:25.520 And then you keep a copy, and another goes to the Library of Congress.

00:47:28.080 So your great, great, great, great grandkids can get to know you through your voice and story.

00:47:32.580 So this is a love story that goes back to the first week of StoryCorps, when we launched 15 years ago in Grand Central Terminal.

00:47:38.640 Back then, like, nobody understood what we were doing, and very few people actually came.

00:47:43.420 We've now had half a million people participate.

00:47:45.880 But Danny and Annie happened upon the booth.

00:47:48.640 They're from Brooklyn, and Danny was a betting clerk.

00:47:53.480 And Annie was a nurse, and they came to the booth to tell the story of their first date that had happened 25 years before.

00:48:02.320 Now, they have thick Brooklyn accents, so you have to listen very carefully.

00:48:05.160 Okay, so here they are in 2004.

00:48:08.900 She started to talk, and I said, listen, I'm going to deliver a speech.

00:48:12.260 I said, Danny, you're going to want to go home.

00:48:14.280 I said, you represent a 34-letter word.

00:48:16.840 I said, that word is love.

00:48:18.160 I said, if we're going anywhere, we're going down the aisle because I'm too tired, too sick, and too sore to do any other damn thing.

00:48:24.840 And she turned around, and she said, well, of course I'm out here.

00:48:28.600 And the next morning, I called her as early as I possibly could.

00:48:32.080 And he always gets up early.

00:48:34.180 To make sure she hadn't changed her mind.

00:48:36.760 And she hadn't.

00:48:38.120 And every year on April 22nd, around 3 o'clock, I'd call her and ask her if it was today, would she do it again?

00:48:45.540 And so far, the answer's been the same.

00:48:47.480 Yeah, 25 times yes.

00:48:48.680 You see, the thing of it is, I always feel guilty when I say I love you to you.

00:48:54.740 And I say it so often.

00:48:55.880 I say it to remind you that as dumpy as I am, it's coming for me.

00:49:00.620 It's like hearing a beautiful song from a busted old radio.

00:49:04.200 And it's nice of you to keep the radio around the house.

00:49:07.260 If I don't have a note on the kitchen table, I think there's something wrong.

00:49:10.400 You write a love letter to me every morning.

00:49:11.600 Well, the only thing that could possibly be wrong is if I couldn't find a silly pen.

00:49:15.400 To my princess, the weather out today is extremely rainy.

00:49:20.220 I'll call you at 11.20 in the morning.

00:49:22.540 It's a romantic weather report.

00:49:23.620 And I love you, I love you, I love you.

00:49:26.140 When a guy is happily married, no matter what happens at work, no matter what happens in the rest of the day, there's a shelter when you get home.

00:49:33.620 There's a knowledge knowing that you can hug somebody without them throwing you downstairs and saying, get your hands off me.

00:49:39.440 And being married is like having a color television set.

00:49:42.680 You never want to go back to black and white.

00:49:45.960 So, David, this is Danny and Annie.

00:49:49.500 And in listening to that, it makes me want to start the tradition far too late of writing a note to my wife every day.

00:49:59.280 Yeah, I mean, they were really in love.

00:50:04.980 Danny was not, you know, if you saw a picture of him, you can almost get it from his voice.

00:50:12.480 But he was about five feet tall.

00:50:14.520 He was bald.

00:50:15.600 His eyes were extremely crossed.

00:50:17.920 He had one little snaggletooth.

00:50:20.180 And the guy had more romance in his little pinky than all the phonies in the Hollywood put together.

00:50:26.200 And, you know, he was a guy like, you know, people used to laugh at him walking down the street because, you know, he talked funny and he looked funny.

00:50:34.100 And I think that coming to StoryCorps with Annie and having a lot of people respond to that first story, we're going to play another story later.

00:50:41.260 Just, you know, it's about reminding people that they matter and they're important and they won't be forgotten.

00:50:45.980 And Danny and those, you know, that was the first week of StoryCorps.

00:50:49.840 And, you know, it speaks to he was what StoryCorps is all about.

00:50:53.440 It's about the grace and the poetry and the eloquence and the beauty in the stories of us, of all around us, hiding in plain sight if we just take the time to listen.

00:51:03.540 So they became big hits with the StoryCorps audience and everybody loved them, as you can imagine.

00:51:12.420 But then just a couple of years later, Danny and Annie received some news and they came back to StoryCorps to talk about the fact that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and it was a very fast spreading cancer.

00:51:32.600 And he wanted one to record one last interview with Annie.

00:51:38.520 He couldn't come out to you.

00:51:41.140 You guys had to go to him.

00:51:43.640 That's right.

00:51:44.280 When we went after he got Danny had come back to StoryCorps with Annie to read their love letters over and over again over the years.

00:51:50.460 And he brought every character he'd ever met in his life to StoryCorps, undercover narcotics detectives and major league umpires.

00:51:58.300 And he'd have a cataract operation and want to come in and document it.

00:52:01.200 They were like family.

00:52:02.880 And when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, stage four and stage, we actually that week named renamed our original booth, the Danny and Annie Parasa StoryCorps booth.

00:52:12.640 And then the next week he said, I'm too sick to get to the booth, but I need to record one last interview with Annie.

00:52:19.600 Will you come to our house in Sunset Park in Queens?

00:52:22.480 And we did.

00:52:23.180 And here is a clip of that.

00:52:25.360 The illness is not hard on me.

00:52:28.780 It's just, you know, the finality of it.

00:52:31.640 And him, he goes along like a trooper.

00:52:33.540 Listen, even downhill, a car doesn't roll unless it's pushed.

00:52:37.660 And you're giving me a great push.

00:52:39.020 The deal of it is, we try to give each other hope, and not hope that I'll live, hope that you'll do well after I pass, hope that people will support her, hope that if she meets somebody and likes him, she marries him.

00:52:55.740 You know, he has everything planned, you know.

00:52:59.240 I'm working on it.

00:53:01.360 She said it was her call.

00:53:03.160 She wants to walk out behind the casket alone.

00:53:06.020 I guess that's the way to do it, because when we were married, you know how your brother takes you down, your father takes you down?

00:53:15.220 She said, well, I don't know which of my brothers to walk in with.

00:53:18.280 I don't want to offend anybody.

00:53:19.920 I said, I got a solution.

00:53:22.380 I said, you walk in with me, you walk out with me.

00:53:25.660 And the other day, I said, who's going to walk down the aisle with you behind the casket?

00:53:30.720 You know, to support her.

00:53:33.440 And she said, no, buddy.

00:53:35.460 I walked in with you alone.

00:53:37.700 I'm walking out with you alone.

00:53:39.720 Mm-hmm.

00:53:39.960 There's a thing in life where you have to come to terms with dying.

00:53:46.840 Well, I haven't come to terms with dying yet.

00:53:49.580 I want to come to terms with being sure that you understand that my love for you up to this point was as much as it could be,

00:54:00.180 and it will be as much as it could be for eternity.

00:54:02.220 I always said, the only thing I have to give you is a poor gift, and it's myself.

00:54:08.780 And I always gave it.

00:54:11.340 And if there's a way to come back and give it, I'll do that too.

00:54:15.820 You have the Valentine's Day letter there.

00:54:18.300 Yeah.

00:54:19.760 My dearest wife, this is a very special day.

00:54:23.160 It is a day on which we share our love, which still grows after all these years.

00:54:28.080 Now that love is being used by us to sustain us through these hard times.

00:54:33.480 All my love, all my days, and more.

00:54:36.600 Happy Valentine's Day.

00:54:40.360 I could write on and on about her.

00:54:43.560 She lights up the room in the morning when she tells me to put potions on her shoulders so she can support me.

00:54:51.020 She lights up my life when she says to me at night, wouldn't you like a little ice cream?

00:54:55.440 Or would you please drink more water?

00:54:59.080 I mean, those aren't very romantic things to say, but they stir my heart.

00:55:05.420 In my mind, in my heart, there has never been, there is not now, and never will be another any.

00:55:16.240 He died just a few days later.

00:55:20.160 He was 67.

00:55:22.160 She's just turned 71, and she came in to record one more story core to thank everyone and tell everyone that she's doing fine.

00:55:35.020 She has all of his love letters, and it keeps her going.

00:55:39.500 Yes, she got, after the last interview with Danny was broadcast on the radio, on public radio, and Danny actually heard it and then died about an hour later.

00:55:56.780 And he got thousands and thousands and thousands of condolence letters.

00:56:00.540 And still to this day, many years later, she reads one of those letters instead of the love letter she would have gotten from Danny.

00:56:07.880 She buried a copy of those letters with Danny in the casket because she wanted to let him know that his life did matter.

00:56:14.860 And she's hanging in.

00:56:19.400 Dave, thank you so much for sharing these with us.

00:56:24.040 Well, thanks for having me on, Glenn.

00:56:25.320 Thanks for doing such great work.

00:56:27.920 Appreciate it, and happy Valentine's Day to everybody.

00:56:30.880 Thank you, Dave.

00:56:31.780 I say from StoryCorps.

00:56:37.400 No, I wasn't ready for that yet.

00:56:47.360 It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

00:56:50.320 Is it tomorrow?

00:56:51.920 Thursday?

00:56:53.500 I know.

00:56:54.400 You're going to be nervous.

00:56:54.900 And, you know, there is young love, and then there's real love.

00:57:04.600 And young love is all about how somebody looks, how hot they are, how...

00:57:15.900 Whatever shallow thing.

00:57:27.200 I'm just thinking of...

00:57:28.680 They're all just so shallow.

00:57:30.240 Love at the start is just so shallow, usually.

00:57:36.600 And if you do it right, it grows into something.

00:57:40.560 As he said, when she says, put your hands on my shoulders so I can get up and out of bed or have some more water. 1.00

00:57:56.300 He said those aren't romantic things.

00:57:58.300 But they are with a mature love.

00:58:10.280 The things that you will do for your spouse or your spouse will do for you as you grow old together are the things that make all the difference.

00:58:31.920 And they're the things that inspire the next generation.

00:58:37.680 It is the couple that still holds hands.

00:58:43.840 It's the couple that still just hugs each other in the kitchen.

00:58:51.780 I always wanted to be that guy who grew old with his wife.

00:59:08.060 And I am so blessed to have that in my wife, Tanya.

00:59:13.480 Who has just been a remarkable woman.

00:59:24.160 This Valentine's Day, it doesn't take chocolate and it doesn't take anything special.

00:59:33.320 It helps, you know, to remind.

00:59:36.100 But it is everything else that goes around Valentine's Day that really makes the difference.

00:59:46.600 Now, our commercial break for one minute and then back into programming.

01:01:09.840 10 seconds, Station ID.

01:01:17.420 You know, Stu, we, I think, are the two of the luckiest men.

01:01:28.660 Pat is the same way.

01:01:29.880 And Jeffy is the same way.

01:01:31.460 We have wives that are remarkable.

01:01:36.820 Absolutely remarkable wives. 0.70

01:01:38.720 Very true.

01:01:39.180 That are just, and I, you know, I asked somebody in a job interview the other day, who's your best friend and why?

01:01:49.420 And he said, it's so and so, because, because he's honest and he's honest about himself.

01:01:58.880 He's honest with his wife.

01:02:02.500 And the way he spoke about his friend said everything I needed to know about him.

01:02:09.700 And when he said he's honest with his wife, it's such a different thing to be able to have a wife who is actually your partner. 0.74

01:02:24.600 And not necessarily in everything.

01:02:26.920 Tanya is bored stiff with politics.

01:02:29.820 She's bored stiff with all of this stuff.

01:02:32.940 And, uh, and you know what?

01:02:36.400 Some of the stuff that, that she talks about, I'm just like, uh-huh, bored stiff.

01:02:41.340 But there is, we are partners in everything.

01:02:47.220 She, you know, one of our dreams is, is that we're going to build a, an art studio in our house one of these days.

01:02:54.580 And I'll have a place for my, my painting right next to her sewing machine where she can quilt. 1.00

01:03:02.600 Because we just want to be in the same room together, you know, and just pursuing.

01:03:07.800 And she'll say, look at this.

01:03:09.440 And I'll say to her, well, look at this.

01:03:12.140 We're not pursuing the same thing, but we are.

01:03:15.600 And we're partners in it.

01:03:17.060 And we just love being together.

01:03:20.160 And it's such an honor to know you and Pat and Jeffy and so many others that work here who actually have great marriages.

01:03:34.400 It says, it, it, it says something about somebody, doesn't it?

01:03:38.780 I think it does, yeah.

01:03:40.120 I mean, you know, I, I, you get to that point where, I mean, I know we all just feel like, you know, hit the jackpot, basically.

01:03:47.680 Oh, yeah.

01:03:48.200 And by the way, I've noticed a lot of people on social media telling us that we've hit the jackpot.

01:03:51.540 That's not necessarily helpful.

01:03:52.840 Yeah, but we know that.

01:03:53.880 But we do get it.

01:03:54.580 Yeah, we get that.

01:03:55.360 We don't need to reinforce it.

01:03:56.420 I know.

01:03:57.020 Per se.

01:03:57.380 But I think that does, it's, it's that focus, right?

01:04:02.900 If you can understand that that's a priority, then it sets your life up in order, I think, for many, many other things, right?

01:04:11.800 If you understand that that is the, you know, the thing that you're working on the most, right?

01:04:16.540 You want to make sure that that's important.

01:04:18.480 And it leads to, I think, being a better parent, leads to being a better coworker.

01:04:23.600 It leads to, you know, stability.

01:04:26.360 And by the way, every statistic on earth backs this up.

01:04:35.060 You are more successful all the way around with children and everything.

01:04:52.280 Heal your family.

01:04:53.100 That's it.

01:04:53.720 There's nothing you will do that is of more importance anywhere, more important than what you do within the four walls of your house.

01:05:02.480 That's the most important thing you can do.

01:06:52.200 David Harsany, the author of Freedom First, a guy who is a senior editor at The Federalist and a dear friend.

01:07:01.540 Welcome to the program, David.

01:07:04.080 Thank you for having me, Glenn.

01:07:05.140 You bet.

01:07:05.420 I know you've done a lot of work on the Green New Deal, which on its surface seems absolutely nuts. 0.93

01:07:15.180 But you've you've really, you know, you've put the hood up on this thing and you've really looked at it to see using the facts of the actual deal to see what's in it.

01:07:26.580 And you've found that.

01:07:28.580 Well, I should say it's not really a lot of it.

01:07:32.940 I wouldn't consider it work because it was actually a lot of fun to read through in one sense.

01:07:36.740 Right.

01:07:36.980 But in another way, it's it's just crazy.

01:07:39.720 And it really, you know, I know she walked it back and I know that the authors walked it back a bit.

01:07:45.100 But obviously, the very core of it is just nuts and that the core of it is that we're going to get rid of all our fossil fuels in 10 years and not just fossil fuels, but also nuclear energy.

01:07:54.480 If anyone's at all serious about clean energy and moving away from carbon emissions and dismisses nuclear energy, they can't be taken seriously.

01:08:04.180 No, they can't.

01:08:04.940 They can't.

01:08:05.440 It is the cleanest by far and helps us.

01:08:08.520 We could use all of the nighttime energy just to be able to make hydrogen.

01:08:16.380 I mean, there is so much that can be done with nuclear energy that would help us be completely emission free that anybody who says that they're serious about having energy and clean energy and they dismiss nuclear.

01:08:33.440 They're they're they're they're frauds.

01:08:36.740 They're just frauds.

01:08:37.380 Well, they are or very immature or don't understand how the world works.

01:08:41.620 And, you know, this plan does not have any sort of it does not embrace economic reality as a way I could put it.

01:08:49.300 I mean, imagine having to retrofit every single building in America in 12 years.

01:08:54.020 Imagine having to retrofit every car or get a new car so they can run on electricity, which won't even be there because we won't have anything to generate.

01:09:01.620 It is just nuts in that way.

01:09:03.240 And then another way that it's nuts is that it's a Trojan horse for or was a Trojan horse for.

01:09:07.280 There are a bunch of socialistic plans like economic security for people, quote unquote, unwilling to work.

01:09:13.420 But even if you are willing to work, this is a reversal of the Bill of Rights.

01:09:21.500 This is FDR's second Bill of Rights, is it not?

01:09:24.760 Yeah, it is.

01:09:25.940 You know, free education, you know, free housing or guaranteed housing and a bunch of other things of that nature that really have nothing to do with with green energy or anything, anything like that to begin with.

01:09:38.020 So, David, is there anything serious in it that you can look at and say, well, you know what, this is a solid idea?

01:09:49.840 No, there's nothing like that.

01:09:52.980 Banning meat, giving everyone a house, you know, free education.

01:09:57.400 I mean, don't get me wrong.

01:09:58.120 I think that there are many progressives who believe these are, you know, this was pulled back by the authors because it was mocked, not because they don't believe these things should happen.

01:10:08.960 So we have to remember that these are the goals.

01:10:10.740 And this is this is just authoritarianism.

01:10:13.660 I mean, it tells you how to live your life on every level.

01:10:15.760 It wouldn't be OK with me, even if we had if I thought a climate disaster was over the horizon.

01:10:20.580 We have to we have to think about other things, including the economy and including our rights, as you mentioned.

01:10:26.780 So, David, the real tell here is to me, the nuclear power thing.

01:10:29.900 It's like if you are really concerned with the globe and the way it's warming, you're going to want to embrace nuclear power if you're actually serious about it.

01:10:39.420 And you and they ban it in this bill.

01:10:40.860 Right. And you leave in coal, apparently.

01:10:44.040 Right.

01:10:45.000 I guess they don't mention coal.

01:10:46.340 I didn't think of that.

01:10:48.180 I would just say this, though.

01:10:49.580 You're right about nuclear energy, but also we lead the world in reducing carbon emissions over the last few years, mostly, I think, because of fracking and natural gas.

01:10:59.020 Yes. So if you eliminate that and you eliminate nuclear power, you're not really working towards anything.

01:11:04.300 You just want an excuse to control the lives of people, because once you control all carbon, you control all life, which I think this is just a power play sort of thing.

01:11:13.560 So how frightened are you that there are 70 co-sponsors of something that is truly ridiculous?

01:11:23.280 I'm actually pretty frightened.

01:11:24.560 I mean, I'm pretty frightened that all these Democratic candidates, leading ones, Kamala Harris and others, immediately endorsed this plan while the initial fact page was out there with all this stuff.

01:11:39.120 They embraced it.

01:11:40.840 That should be scary.

01:11:41.980 Now, I don't think I'm not scared because I know it can't really happen, but I am scared with what will do the economy trying to make things like this happen.

01:11:50.020 And I think that should scare us.

01:11:51.720 Well, you say that it can't happen, but you listen to people who are not paying attention.

01:11:58.300 And, David, honestly, if we went through another 2008 or worse, which I do believe is on the horizon just because of Europe alone,

01:12:08.360 this is the kind of thing that socialists say, hey, we're going to take care of your housing, your housing.

01:12:17.200 We're going to take care of your car, your food, your guaranteed job.

01:12:21.640 And if there is a serious, serious, and I'm talking about a depression, this is the kind of stuff people run towards.

01:12:28.820 Right.

01:12:29.260 I mean, 10 years ago, if I called a Democrat a socialist, they would feign indignation and act like they had been insulted.

01:12:34.840 Today, most Democrats seem to think that that's a pretty swell idea.

01:12:39.020 So I think the debate has actually gotten a lot more honest.

01:12:42.520 And this and other things are just part, really, of the fight between people who believe in free markets and people who believe in socialism.

01:12:52.680 And I do wonder, though, I just want to quickly say if people understand what they're supporting.

01:12:57.580 For instance, I saw a poll that said, you know, 72 percent of people want Medicare for all.

01:13:03.040 But when they explained to them what Medicare for all actually meant, it dropped to 36 percent.

01:13:08.500 So what does that mean, Medicare for all?

01:13:10.540 What does that mean?

01:13:11.800 It means we're going to take away your private insurance and throw you into a government government program of insurance.

01:13:17.860 It's socialized medicine is what it means.

01:13:20.440 And but people don't want to lose their insurance.

01:13:22.820 They actually sort of like their insurance.

01:13:24.340 So once they hear about the specifics, they don't like it.

01:13:26.940 So if I want to be positive about the future, I say to myself, there are sort of these grand plans people like in theory, but might not like in reality.

01:13:35.000 And that's usually what socialism is actually about.

01:13:39.100 Well, unfortunately, it fools country after country after country.

01:13:43.700 Tell me what it the the idea of getting rid of grounding all planes.

01:13:51.080 Well, the plan is that we're going to have high speed rail.

01:13:55.720 It's hard not to laugh when you talk about this stuff, but it's it's scary, too.

01:13:59.200 But she she claims that we're going to have high speed rails and they'll work so well that we will sort of crowd out any need for air travel or actually for cars as well in urban areas.

01:14:10.860 As you see, in California, they have a high speed rail that I think is one hundred billion dollars in debt right now and doesn't really work yet.

01:14:17.640 So I'm not sure how we can envision that throughout the country.

01:14:22.740 Every city that I've ever lived in that talks about having a high speed rail, it always fails, always fails.

01:14:29.660 Always comes in overpriced, even just regular, you know, out here in D.C.

01:14:33.360 They're trying to build expand the metro.

01:14:35.240 It takes literally 10 years.

01:14:37.600 You know, it's way over budget.

01:14:39.300 It's constantly the case.

01:14:41.260 People in America love their cars.

01:14:42.720 And moreover, in the middle of America, I lived in Denver, for instance, for many years.

01:14:45.980 You need your car.

01:14:46.740 There's no way you can use a train to get around.

01:14:49.140 It's just a silly thing.

01:14:51.600 So is she is she talking about actual bans or some sort of a carbon tax that would discourage things like planes?

01:15:02.280 Because it sounds like in 10 years, we're just going to stop air travel.

01:15:05.860 We're going to stop cars.

01:15:07.440 Or is it a penalty if you want to use the car?

01:15:11.720 How do they envision this happening?

01:15:14.500 They don't get into specifics about how they would ban things.

01:15:18.160 And I don't think she uses the word ban on the planes.

01:15:20.660 But she does use some sort of language when it comes to cars in urban areas of having government sort of explain to you how many cars you need or don't need and following through in that way. 1.00

01:15:30.580 I can't say that she's put kind of the thought into this that would be nuts and bolts.

01:15:37.060 You know, I mean, we don't know how these things are supposed to be accomplished for the most part, only that they should be their aims and goals.

01:15:43.100 And occasionally she'll say, you know, she'll use she uses euphemisms for ban.

01:15:48.380 You know, she doesn't say ban.

01:15:49.920 But so, David, did she write who wrote this?

01:15:53.560 Who is the brain behind this?

01:15:56.340 I don't know that there is a brain.

01:15:58.060 Well, you know what I mean.

01:15:59.120 Who is the who's the head behind this?

01:16:02.080 Where who wrote this and put this together?

01:16:04.120 I suspect there.

01:16:05.680 I don't know.

01:16:06.600 But I suspect there are a bunch of, you know, special interest, greenie types who who who helped her write this thing.

01:16:12.960 I mean, it's just a grab bag of everything they want thrown in there.

01:16:16.840 So I suspect that's who wrote it.

01:16:18.460 I don't know for sure.

01:16:19.520 But, you know, politicians who endorse this thing should be held accountable for doing so.

01:16:25.200 I think that's important to note.

01:16:27.780 Where are we headed, David?

01:16:29.240 I was in the State of the Union.

01:16:31.080 I was actually in the room with them.

01:16:32.940 And there is now a growing Marxist community that is arrogant, is self-centered, and will make you pay if you don't join them.

01:16:49.880 Yeah, it's bad.

01:16:50.840 I mean, I think they're authoritarians.

01:16:52.280 They're socialists.

01:16:53.940 Kamala Harris had her CNN.

01:16:55.380 I think she's probably one of the frontrunners and or is the frontrunner.

01:16:58.420 And she had a CNN town hall where she just was bragging about how she wanted to take everyone's insurance away from them, health insurance. 1.00

01:17:05.740 That's a huge, hugely important part of people's lives.

01:17:08.700 So I think we're headed to a pretty bad place.

01:17:11.660 I have to say, you know, I was not a fan of Donald Trump.

01:17:14.560 And, you know, I generally am not a fan of politicians.

01:17:16.560 But when he dropped a line about socialism in the State of the Union address, it made me very proud of the president.

01:17:23.240 And I think it's an important battle to be won.

01:17:26.260 I think young people don't understand it because they never lived through the Cold War and they don't know what it means.

01:17:31.800 You know, my own parents defected from a communist country.

01:17:34.320 I don't want anything like that for my kids.

01:17:36.240 And I think it's going to be a pretty ugly fight.

01:17:39.060 I will I will tell you this.

01:17:40.440 I thought when the president said we will not be socialist, I just talked about this yesterday in a monologue where what he was really saying is I will protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

01:17:52.820 Anyone who's pushing for these kinds of things, this this Green New Deal, they are in violation of the oath they take in office.

01:18:01.060 You you you're not protecting and defending the Constitution.

01:18:04.760 The core of the Constitution is an individual rights.

01:18:08.920 The core of socialism is collectivism.

01:18:10.800 They cannot work together.

01:18:13.260 And that's important.

01:18:14.620 I mean, I think it was P.J.

01:18:15.660 Rourke who said who boiled down the Constitution to stay off my lawn and keep your hands to yourself. 0.89

01:18:20.860 Right.

01:18:21.420 And neither of those things socialists care about.

01:18:24.220 Neither of those things.

01:18:25.140 So to me, they're authoritarians.

01:18:27.880 I don't care.

01:18:28.380 You know, there might not always be down to the definition socialist.

01:18:32.320 But if they want to control what you buy, what you eat, what you see, what you say and all that stuff, to me, they're just, you know, it's just tyranny.

01:18:39.540 I don't know to what level it's going to come here, but it's worth fighting against, I think.

01:20:09.500 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:20:26.140 Boy.

01:20:27.140 Plans for Brexit are getting bad in Europe.

01:20:31.160 We'll talk to you about the plan to airlift the Queen to safety and the body bags that are now being ordered.

01:20:37.860 However, plans for breakfast are promising.

01:20:40.580 Yes, they are.

01:20:41.100 They're really good.

01:20:41.880 Yes, very good.

01:20:42.760 We were talking about environmentalists and who these early environmentalists were.

01:20:47.320 Now, you remember much of the 60s and 70s environmentalism was overpopulation scare.

01:20:51.420 Yeah, where Obama's chief science czar in the 60s and early 70s was talking about sterilizing drinking water because by 1980, there would be way too many people.

01:21:03.400 Way too many people.

01:21:04.860 Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make.

01:21:09.660 That was Paul Ehrlich, environmental legend, crazy person.

01:21:13.460 Mein Kampf, however, also talked about this a little bit.

01:21:16.320 First volume said, quote, the new Reich would have to conquer with a German sword the soil that the German plow would till in order to provide our people with the daily bread.

01:21:26.020 The living space was, quote, specifically to secure adequate food supplies for the German people.

01:21:32.440 Now, living space was a big deal.

01:21:34.340 Not liking Jews and getting living space for food was Hitler's big thing. 0.61

01:21:37.680 BBC wrote about the movement that influenced Hitler, including the, quote, growing concern about the allegedly negative effects of industrialization and urbanization.

01:21:45.620 There was also a belief in the virtues of agrarian society and the panic over Germany's limited resources of food and raw materials.

01:21:52.380 And the only thing keeping those quotes off a Prius bumper sticker is they're too long.

01:21:56.100 That's pretty much it.

01:21:57.120 Right.

01:21:57.320 That's pretty much it.

01:21:58.260 Environmentalists of the day also noticed Nazi green efforts.

01:22:00.940 German conservationist Wilhelm Leinenkamp wrote that Nazis, quote, refuse all kinds of compromise and demand strict literal fulfillment.

01:22:08.880 Those refusing the call of sacrifice are under attack, and rightly so. 1.00

01:22:13.100 I mean, does that not sound like something they say about climate deniers?

01:22:15.840 That sounds like something that could be in the New York Times today.

01:22:18.960 The Green and the Brown is a book by environmental professor Frank Ukoet, or not a conservative book,

01:22:24.360 shows similarities to modern day environmentalism are unmistakable.

01:22:27.580 As he sums up nicely, quote, the lion's share of conservationist publications written between 1933 and 1945 could be printed again today without raising eyebrows, end quote.

01:22:38.780 We know this to be true because they just had a paper that was almost put into the journals that took pages from Mein Kampf.

01:22:49.160 The Nazi policy of Dauerwald, or Eternal Forest, was a nationwide, top-down, sustainable forestry program that was a passion project of Hermann Göring.

01:22:59.440 He wrote,

01:22:59.860 Only by the complete subjection of the individual to the service of the whole can the perpetuity of the community be assured.

01:23:07.100 Eternal Forest and Eternal Nation are ideas that are indissolubly linked.

01:23:11.720 Sounds real conservative there.

01:23:13.360 I mean, it goes on and on and on.

01:23:14.920 And they actually say, this forest policy, the review of it,

01:23:20.020 I would argue that this policy left a long-term legacy of the German forest that was ecologically beneficial.

01:23:26.040 That's how environmentalists today are looking back at the Nazi era.

01:23:31.000 It is authoritarian.

01:23:34.380 Socialist, national socialist, communist, doesn't really matter.

01:23:37.700 It's control over your life and what you do.

01:23:44.920 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:23:55.240 We want to talk to you about your taxes because new tax laws are in and people are a little confused.

01:24:01.660 And if you had tax problems last year, do not drag them into next year.

01:24:05.900 Yeah.

01:24:06.220 Optiman Tax Relief is a great place to go.

01:24:08.360 They are America's number one tax resolution firm.

01:24:11.000 They know a lot of people who have tax problems are good people who either came on hard times or got screwed by the IRS or whatever the situation is.

01:24:19.680 You can't fight these people at the IRS by yourself.

01:24:22.180 No.

01:24:22.600 You are screwed if you try that.

01:24:24.020 Because they view you as an opponent.

01:24:26.360 They view you as a bad guy.

01:24:28.100 And a lot of these tax services that wanted to help you, they're old tax people.

01:24:32.660 So they view you the same way.

01:24:34.380 It's not the way when you'll find out right away as soon as you get your free consultation at 800-699-6140.

01:25:17.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:19.100 Everyone should panic.

01:25:20.420 Well, not everybody here.

01:25:21.840 Everybody in the UK should panic.

01:25:24.120 If you're listening to us in the UK, you're going to start eating your neighbor.

01:25:27.140 You're a few weeks away from having to eat your neighbor.

01:25:30.160 I will tell you why in one minute.

01:25:35.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:25:38.320 You know what the problem is with public Wi-Fi?

01:25:41.180 It's public.

01:25:43.180 And so you don't know who's on that public Wi-Fi.

01:25:46.420 It's connected to public Wi-Fi.

01:25:49.080 You're connected to public Wi-Fi.

01:25:50.600 Even if a password is protecting it, you could be tossing all of your expectations about privacy right out the window.

01:25:56.600 Think about how hesitant you are to touch the handle on a public bathroom.

01:26:02.340 That's how you should feel about public Wi-Fi.

01:26:04.880 It really is.

01:26:05.780 It really is.

01:26:06.440 By the way, did you hear about Pete Hegseth?

01:26:08.720 I did read about this.

01:26:10.180 This is creepy.

01:26:11.960 Pete Hegseth, he's a friend of ours.

01:26:14.240 He's on Fox News, right?

01:26:15.420 Yeah.

01:26:15.800 And he said, I haven't washed my hands in 10 years because I don't believe germs are real.

01:26:20.960 Okay, Pete, they are real.

01:26:22.900 They are real.

01:26:24.720 Okay, we need to have a talk.

01:26:26.520 And I regret shaking your hand now.

01:26:27.960 You should have told the people that, you know, years ago when we first met, you know, it's been two years since I've washed hands.

01:26:34.600 Okay, good.

01:26:35.700 Keep your hands in your pocket.

01:26:36.740 Don't touch it.

01:26:37.160 Maybe he's one of these people that just doesn't want to shake hands.

01:26:39.040 And this is his way of getting it done.

01:26:40.600 It could be.

01:26:40.840 It could be.

01:26:41.380 Anyway, Stu's right.

01:26:42.640 When you look at public Wi-Fi, you should think of the public bathrooms.

01:26:46.640 You do not want to shake hands with that.

01:26:49.640 You need Wi-Fi that is secure.

01:26:51.880 You need Norton Secure VPN.

01:26:55.680 Norton Secure Virtual Private Network.

01:26:59.080 This is for your laptop and your mobile devices.

01:27:01.640 It's easy to use.

01:27:02.980 It's simple to install.

01:27:04.500 You log in once and Norton Secure VPN immediately provides you with more privacy and more security.

01:27:11.180 Protecting you from the hackers by encrypting your connection.

01:27:15.100 Also, guess who can't follow you?

01:27:17.180 Facebook.

01:27:18.460 Yeah.

01:27:18.920 Oh, and now Facebook is offering their own VPN.

01:27:21.780 Oh, I'm sure that's going to be very secure.

01:27:24.720 I think I trust the people at Norton.

01:27:27.420 Norton Secure VPN.

01:27:29.100 Go to Norton.com slash VPN.

01:27:31.720 Starts at about $3.33 a month.

01:27:34.520 Annual subscription.

01:27:35.940 Do it now.

01:27:36.660 Go to Norton.com slash VPN.

01:27:42.460 Do it now.

01:27:43.840 Secure your internet connection and make sure that people who haven't washed their hands aren't following you.

01:27:49.600 Stu, did you know, did you know we are just a few, few days away, just a few weeks away from the UK crashing riots in the streets?

01:28:13.660 There's not going to be any medicine.

01:28:16.380 There's going to be food shortages that will cause food riots because people will be malnutrition.

01:28:23.440 They'll be malnutritioned.

01:28:25.260 Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

01:28:29.780 Malnutrition comes from a long-term food shortage.

01:28:34.040 Does it not?

01:28:35.300 You're not like, if I'm really, really super hungry because I haven't had a meal in three days, I'm not suffering from malnutrition.

01:28:43.520 I'm suffering from not having anything to eat in the last few days, right?

01:28:48.120 I'm pretty hungry.

01:28:49.040 I'm pretty hungry.

01:28:49.860 Malnutrition seems more of like a long-term underserving of food.

01:28:53.460 Yeah, right.

01:28:54.180 Okay.

01:28:54.840 You haven't had any nutrition for a longer period of time.

01:28:59.980 Malnutrition over a few days, pretty easy to get over.

01:29:02.900 You know, as long as you've had water, you can probably get over that pretty easy.

01:29:08.500 But starvation is also on the list of things that the British now need to worry about as warehouses will surely run out of fresh food and medicine.

01:29:19.080 And, of course, as ITV is now pointing out over in Great Britain, an explosion of immigrant-fueled crime. 1.00

01:29:27.760 Now, this is weird for the press over in England to be speculating about immigrant-fueled crime, seeing that you can't talk about immigrant-fueled crime unless you're a racist.

01:29:45.660 Are they talking about the people who are just coming over and trying to make society a little bit better and make things a little bit better for their families?

01:29:51.660 No, they're probably talking about white Americans or Canadians that are in, you know what I mean?

01:29:56.280 That's probably it.

01:29:57.440 Now, the health minister, Stephen Hammond, he has advised the NHS, the National Health Service, to begin purchases of emergency medical supplies, including stockpiles of body bags.

01:30:14.440 Yeah, body bags.

01:30:16.980 Haven't we heard this report before from every conservative, quote-unquote, conservative conspiracy site that says this?

01:30:24.540 Right.

01:30:24.940 And they're mocked by all of the media for saying that the government is preparing for mass death?

01:30:32.980 Well, that was because Obama wasn't going to leave office, remember?

01:30:37.540 Oh, I forgot about that.

01:30:38.760 Yeah, he was going to cancel the election.

01:30:40.260 And they were stockpiling body bags for the war that was coming.

01:30:44.480 That's right.

01:30:44.780 I remember all of that.

01:30:45.660 Now, now, Great Britain is stockpiling body bags because, you know, it's going to get so bad over there.

01:30:51.680 They've even revived an old Cold War plan to evacuate the Queen from London because starvation is going to be so bad.

01:31:01.340 The food riots will head right to Buckingham Palace, and she will need to be air-vacked out if they don't have a plan for Brexit. 0.99

01:31:10.500 Is this a real report?

01:31:11.380 They're saying this is potentially possible?

01:31:14.080 Yeah.

01:31:14.700 Yeah.

01:31:15.260 Well, now, no, wait.

01:31:16.560 No.

01:31:17.080 No.

01:31:17.740 Yes and no.

01:31:18.700 Are they reviving these?

01:31:20.320 Yes.

01:31:21.120 Should they be stockpiling medicine just in case?

01:31:24.040 Yes.

01:31:24.920 Yeah, why not?

01:31:25.320 Are they freaking out?

01:31:26.940 Probably not.

01:31:28.040 Are people in the government that don't want Brexit pushing this?

01:31:32.620 Yep.

01:31:33.360 They are.

01:31:34.320 Yeah.

01:31:34.620 They want to make people scared about, you know, Brexit's so evil, and they can blame

01:31:39.060 every negative thing that happens in the country for the next 20 years on it.

01:31:42.500 Let me tell you something.

01:31:43.900 You remember the nightmares.

01:31:45.920 Not a lot of people remember this.

01:31:50.040 But, Stu, you're old enough to remember the nightmare of the starvation and everything else

01:31:55.260 that went on for Y2K.

01:31:56.640 Oh, yeah.

01:31:57.240 That was devastating.

01:31:57.980 Oh, my gosh.

01:31:58.500 That was horrible.

01:31:58.980 The computer code.

01:31:59.780 They only had two digits.

01:32:00.840 Yeah.

01:32:01.120 And because they only had two digits, it would go from 99 to 00, which almost would mean

01:32:05.200 the same to the computer as 1900, which would throw everything into chaos.

01:32:09.760 It would just erase everything.

01:32:10.380 It would just erase everything.

01:32:12.080 Planes would fall out of the sky.

01:32:13.540 Yeah.

01:32:13.880 It was going to be bad.

01:32:14.680 They were stockpiling body bags.

01:32:16.480 They were stockpiling body bags.

01:32:17.960 They've been stockpiling body bags for everything.

01:32:19.880 Yeah.

01:32:20.240 Forever.

01:32:20.780 Yeah.

01:32:21.320 I don't know why we stockpile them.

01:32:24.220 I mean, you really should only do that once, and then you got them.

01:32:27.820 It's not like you're stockpiling tomatoes.

01:32:31.060 They don't go bad.

01:32:31.960 Right.

01:32:32.360 Yeah.

01:32:32.700 It's like, oh, man, we didn't use those body bags.

01:32:35.320 Well, you got to get some fresh ones.

01:32:36.300 Buy some new ones.

01:32:36.940 Stock them up.

01:32:37.520 Yeah.

01:32:37.660 They're body bags.

01:32:38.220 You're going to put dead things in them.

01:32:40.700 I mean, they don't go bad.

01:32:42.100 You almost don't even need the bags, I mean, to be frank about it.

01:32:44.580 Well, I prefer to have them.

01:32:46.500 No, it's good to have, but it's not necessarily a requirement.

01:32:50.120 Yeah.

01:32:50.240 I've seen cultures that don't use body bags, and there's mass death, usually from

01:32:56.840 socialist governments, and that's not a pretty picture.

01:33:00.500 It does seem like it's worth having.

01:33:01.820 It does.

01:33:02.340 It does.

01:33:02.840 I'm pro-stockpiling body bags and then not freaking out about everything.

01:33:08.700 You know what I mean?

01:33:09.220 Mm-hmm.

01:33:09.820 Yeah.

01:33:09.980 I think we should have them, and then if something happens, great.

01:33:12.300 If it doesn't happen, great.

01:33:13.560 We'll have it for the next time.

01:33:14.660 I wouldn't say it was great if something happens, but you got the body bags.

01:33:17.740 You're prepared.

01:33:18.400 Yeah.

01:33:18.600 You're prepared.

01:33:19.180 You got the body bags.

01:33:19.980 Now, I just want to, I mean, I hate to be, you know, negative Nancy here and rain on

01:33:23.940 everybody's body bag parade, but let me just point out that if this happens, you're not

01:33:29.440 going to use body bags.

01:33:31.260 I mean, you have to burn the bodies in a fire because it's, they're clearly going to come

01:33:35.740 back to life.

01:33:36.400 I mean, hello, have you ever, have you not watched all the zombie movies?

01:33:42.280 If it's a zombie apocalypse, body bags are not going to be any good.

01:33:45.660 I'll bet you these body bags have a zipper on the inside.

01:33:48.380 I bet they can zip them down from the inside.

01:33:50.340 Well, this is why maybe a bag isn't a good idea because you want it to deteriorate faster.

01:33:54.180 Right.

01:33:54.780 Right.

01:33:54.940 You need like a, a zip lock that can't be opened from the inside.

01:33:59.900 And that body bag, I want it to have, you zip it up.

01:34:02.500 I want it to turn blue.

01:34:03.460 I want to see that that thing is zipped up and it's blue and that's sealed and they

01:34:07.340 can't get out.

01:34:07.960 They can't unzip it from like, if you're in a zip lock bag, it's easy to get out.

01:34:12.100 You just push the top of them.

01:34:13.820 You just, it'll just open up.

01:34:15.540 But if it has that little clamp, it's impossible for a human being to get out.

01:34:19.480 Let me ask you this.

01:34:21.660 I've never been in a human size zip lock bag, but if I was in a human size zip lock

01:34:27.320 bag.

01:34:27.760 Okay.

01:34:28.140 So remember the scale of the zip lock seal would be the same scale, you know,

01:34:33.300 as a sandwich bag, except big for humans.

01:34:36.000 No, I understand.

01:34:37.560 Could you open it up by standing there and just pushing on both sides may trap you.

01:34:43.680 Could you, for instance, lay it flat and then kind of crawl up towards the zip lock

01:34:48.840 thing and, and, and put your feet underneath you and just crouch and then stand up and

01:34:54.500 have it open.

01:34:55.040 Or would it be too strong because, you know, in relation to the size, I almost feel like

01:35:01.540 you probably are not going after the actual seal point.

01:35:05.240 You're going after the rest of the bag and you're just trying to stretch it out until

01:35:08.160 it breaks.

01:35:09.500 But again, in relationship to size, that would be a pretty thick bag.

01:35:13.880 Remember you're very small.

01:35:15.220 You're sandwich size.

01:35:16.220 Wait, your sandwich size, but the bag's human size.

01:35:20.260 Yeah.

01:35:20.740 Well, that's, that's a totally different perspective.

01:35:22.980 No, no, no.

01:35:23.800 But I mean, if you were a sandwich size and you were put into that bag, I don't know if

01:35:28.580 you could do it now because you're not sandwich size in real life.

01:35:31.960 We would have to make for experimental purposes only a human size sandwich bag for you because

01:35:38.920 you're not sandwich size.

01:35:39.960 You're human size.

01:35:41.720 Right.

01:35:42.120 So you're not saying I'm, I'm smaller and the bag's larger.

01:35:45.060 You're saying I'm the same size and the bag is larger.

01:35:47.060 You, there's no way if we had made a human size bag and a sandwich size human, you'd ever

01:35:51.740 get out.

01:35:52.100 Oh, I disagree.

01:35:52.820 You'd have much more chance to be able to kind of get in where the clamp was and loosen

01:35:57.420 it and push it over just slightly to sneak out.

01:36:00.080 If you were smaller, it might be actually be an advantage in the situation.

01:36:03.480 Oh, you're going for the extra.

01:36:05.080 You're going for the thing that slides across.

01:36:06.920 I was just thinking about the big, we would have to have some, some sort of big thumb

01:36:11.920 thing with, with mine.

01:36:13.600 You wouldn't have that clamp that you would have to have two big thumbs that would just

01:36:16.440 come in.

01:36:16.900 And once you were inside the bag, we'd just seal it up.

01:36:19.580 Would the thumbs be normal size person or the thumbs be a sandwich size person?

01:36:23.600 No, those would be giant sized.

01:36:26.440 So you need, you need, you need super sized thumbs, not necessarily human thumbs, but

01:36:31.960 there'd be any thumb, any thumb.

01:36:34.300 Yeah.

01:36:34.720 But I mean, how many things have thumbs?

01:36:36.420 It'd have to be size of something huge with them.

01:36:39.040 It'd be statue of Liberty sized thumbs, a human sized bag, and a sandwich sized person.

01:36:49.060 Would you, now would you use, could you use a statue?

01:36:51.420 Like, could you, you don't have necessarily have to grow a human being that large.

01:36:53.780 This is why they're freaking out in London.

01:36:56.140 I want you to know, this is why they're freaking out.

01:36:58.080 Think of all of the options they have to think about when they're ordering those body bags.

01:37:03.060 That's terrifying.

01:37:03.820 Now, there's something else that's happening closer at home that is just as bad, if not worse.

01:37:11.820 The story comes from the Pacific Northwest and Portland.

01:37:17.940 It's a horror show worse than human sized Ziploc bags.

01:37:24.200 Wait until you hear.

01:37:26.220 I don't know how they're doing it.

01:37:27.960 I don't know how these poor people are doing it in Portland.

01:37:29.880 And we'll give this to you in one minute.

01:37:32.560 First, let me tell you about relief factor.

01:37:36.260 Relief factor.

01:37:37.360 Man, if you've got pain, try this.

01:37:40.500 Please just try this.

01:37:41.740 It may not work for you.

01:37:43.180 30% of the people that try this, it doesn't work.

01:37:45.820 But 70% of the people that try it go on to order it month after month and they live on it.

01:37:51.960 Now, it's 100% natural.

01:37:53.460 It's drug free.

01:37:54.440 You take it three times a day.

01:37:55.980 I've been taking it for over a year and it is literally given my life back.

01:38:00.060 It makes a huge difference.

01:38:02.100 Try it now.

01:38:03.280 Dollar a day.

01:38:04.320 It's a trial pack.

01:38:05.540 You're out nothing except for 20 bucks if it doesn't work.

01:38:09.340 But low pain, low risk, very high reward.

01:38:15.420 If it does work, if you're one of the 70% like I am, you get your life back.

01:38:20.580 Please order now.

01:38:21.560 Order at relieffactor.com or call this number, 800-500-8384.

01:38:29.240 800-500-8384.

01:38:32.120 I know how hard it is even to type the address in if you're in pain or to type the phone number in.

01:38:40.500 But do it.

01:38:41.360 Try it for three weeks.

01:38:43.120 Relieffactor.com.

01:38:44.900 Relieffactor.com.

01:38:46.400 We pause for 10 seconds.

01:38:47.660 Station ID then to Portland.

01:38:49.860 Horror of horrors.

01:38:51.560 So I don't know.

01:39:02.920 I don't know how you're going.

01:39:05.040 I don't know how you're surviving.

01:39:06.260 Seattle and Portland, I don't know.

01:39:07.880 I know that Seattle had six inches of snow.

01:39:12.800 Six inches, Stu.

01:39:15.080 Are they going to try to rebuild or they're just going to abandon the city?

01:39:17.820 I don't know.

01:39:18.940 I don't know.

01:39:19.420 They're living like animals now.

01:39:20.700 Six inches of snow.

01:39:22.520 I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and it doesn't sound like a lot, but they don't have any snow plows.

01:39:27.780 They have to get them out of the mountains.

01:39:28.960 So they have no snow plows.

01:39:30.460 Really?

01:39:30.700 In Seattle?

01:39:31.340 There's no snow.

01:39:32.520 It never snows.

01:39:33.960 It'll snow like a dusting.

01:39:36.120 And then it rains.

01:39:37.120 I mean, it's always raining.

01:39:38.860 So they're used to water, just not anything what turns into ice or what's this white stuff?

01:39:43.940 I mean, you know, in Seattle, cocaine, sure.

01:39:46.800 But that's not what this is.

01:39:49.600 Now they're panicked.

01:39:51.200 Now up in Seattle, I don't know if you saw the grocery stores were bare because everybody freaked out.

01:39:59.780 Well, it's worse in Portland.

01:40:02.820 There is no kale left in the stores of Portland.

01:40:11.580 They, and now I know a lot of people are rolling their eyes, but don't do it.

01:40:17.960 These are Portlandiers, Portlandians, people from Portland.

01:40:23.380 And they like their kale.

01:40:25.540 They need their kale.

01:40:26.960 Their kale is refreshing.

01:40:28.320 It is good for them.

01:40:29.300 It's nutritious.

01:40:30.020 It keeps them going.

01:40:32.100 And...

01:40:32.520 Are you talking about people or rabbits?

01:40:34.560 I'm not sure.

01:40:35.560 I'm not sure.

01:40:36.140 But it keeps Portland going.

01:40:38.420 And I want you to know, if you manage to make it to the store, here are just...

01:40:46.380 Things are going to be okay.

01:40:47.600 Snow melts.

01:40:48.880 And you don't have kale.

01:40:50.220 But if you manage to make it to the store, grab a pin.

01:40:54.200 You're going to need beer.

01:40:56.100 Write it down.

01:40:57.540 Beer.

01:40:58.000 Whiskey.

01:40:58.920 Wine.

01:41:00.320 Sugary things.

01:41:01.840 Butter.

01:41:02.820 Mm-hmm.

01:41:04.060 Flour if you have to.

01:41:05.920 Sure.

01:41:06.600 Salt.

01:41:07.480 Mm-hmm.

01:41:08.340 Cheese.

01:41:08.940 Already loaded up.

01:41:10.000 Macaroni.

01:41:10.840 Plenty of that with cheese.

01:41:11.920 Macaroni and cheese.

01:41:13.020 Have them both.

01:41:14.360 And more whiskey.

01:41:16.460 I just...

01:41:16.980 I just want you to know, if you run out of kale like they have in Portland, just get that

01:41:23.020 and it'll tide you through.

01:41:24.500 You'll make it.

01:41:25.380 You're going to make it.

01:41:26.180 You're stronger than that snow.

01:41:28.080 You're stronger than the four inches of snow there on the ground.

01:41:31.380 Don't panic.

01:41:31.940 I know it's a snowpocalypse, but you'll make it.

01:41:35.840 You will make it.

01:41:37.460 Too bad.

01:41:37.660 It's a one-two punch.

01:41:39.000 Snow and then no kale.

01:41:40.620 What are you going to do?

01:41:41.680 I mean, those are the two of the worst things that global warming has ever caused.

01:41:45.580 Kale shortage and snow.

01:41:47.200 I mean, it's...

01:41:48.200 Wait.

01:41:49.260 Mm-hmm.

01:41:49.660 It's...

01:41:50.100 I mean, it's...

01:41:50.820 Mm-hmm.

01:41:51.140 It's like your Popeye.

01:41:52.280 And here comes Brutus.

01:41:53.280 And you have no spinach.

01:41:56.420 Yeah.

01:41:56.920 That's...

01:41:57.160 They probably had spinach.

01:41:58.180 They just didn't have kale.

01:41:58.960 Right.

01:41:59.220 They don't...

01:41:59.760 I said it's like Popeye.

01:42:01.080 He didn't say it was Popeye.

01:42:02.520 He said it was Portland.

01:42:03.660 And it's like Popeye.

01:42:05.720 Here comes Brutus, otherwise known as the storm.

01:42:09.500 And he doesn't have spinach.

01:42:11.680 They don't have kale.

01:42:12.780 Yeah.

01:42:12.900 But what you don't understand, Glenn, is kale chips.

01:42:16.120 They're delicious.

01:42:17.840 Oh, I love when people tell me that kale chips are delicious.

01:42:21.300 Sure, kale itself isn't that great.

01:42:23.100 But if you make it into a chip, it's delicious.

01:42:26.420 Oh, what you do is you put a little drizzle of olive oil, a little EVOO on top of it.

01:42:32.240 And then you salt it a little bit and you put it in the...

01:42:34.360 Frying can.

01:42:35.240 Oh, you didn't have to do that.

01:42:36.200 You put it right in the oven.

01:42:36.920 You want to bake it.

01:42:37.520 It's healthier.

01:42:38.140 Oh, you bake it?

01:42:39.240 You bake like baked chips.

01:42:40.080 Oh, I've only had fried.

01:42:42.040 Oh, yeah.

01:42:42.540 And you put them in there.

01:42:43.540 Oh, it's much better.

01:42:44.240 Oh, my goodness.

01:42:45.100 And they come out and they are...

01:42:47.280 It's like...

01:42:47.920 It tastes like kale.

01:42:49.320 Yeah.

01:42:49.600 But it's crunchy and dry.

01:42:51.920 Well, I've had it.

01:42:52.680 Now, see, I've had it.

01:42:53.600 Now, maybe I made it wrong.

01:42:54.840 But I had it.

01:42:55.640 And it comes out looking like burnt, shriveled crap.

01:43:00.120 Mm-hmm.

01:43:01.100 But it tastes like kale, only burnt and shriveled.

01:43:06.600 And it's tad salty.

01:43:08.140 And it tad salty.

01:43:09.160 Which is nice.

01:43:09.860 It's a nice kick.

01:43:10.460 I found if you put enough salt on it and cheese, the kale taste almost goes away.

01:43:20.400 That, what you just said, is true with everything on earth.

01:43:24.060 If you put enough salt and cheese on it, eventually you just taste salt and cheese, which is why

01:43:27.900 Americans love salt and cheese.

01:43:29.640 Because we're covering up.

01:43:31.040 Yeah.

01:43:31.380 Why do you think McDonald's was a hit?

01:43:33.620 Cheese.

01:43:34.360 Cheese.

01:43:34.780 They put cheese on those, quote, hamburgers. 0.83

01:43:38.720 Okay, that's...

01:43:40.100 See, the reason why we don't stockpile body bags is because we have all the preservatives in

01:43:47.940 us that we need.

01:43:48.720 Mm-hmm.

01:43:49.180 We can die.

01:43:49.780 You can come back a thousand years from now and it'll still be a stack of dead, fresh bodies.

01:43:55.500 We won't rot.

01:43:57.200 Thank you, McDonald's.

01:43:58.360 Mm.

01:43:58.900 It's very nice.

01:43:59.880 And look, this is a tragic situation they're facing.

01:44:02.100 I hope that the situation in Australia is a little different right now because they have

01:44:07.380 real global warming.

01:44:08.560 They've got a heat wave going on.

01:44:09.760 And that, of course, is also, by the way, of course, caused by global warming.

01:44:15.060 So the heat and the cold are both caused by global warming, as well as the kale shortage.

01:44:18.880 Of course it is.

01:44:19.480 As well as this.

01:44:20.760 In Australia, when weather gets warm, there is a particular creature that will lounge in

01:44:27.000 the sun.

01:44:27.760 Mm-hmm.

01:44:28.200 Mm-hmm.

01:44:28.700 Mm-hmm.

01:44:28.920 A snake.

01:44:29.720 Mm-hmm.

01:44:29.980 Now, that's a little creepy because you're walking through...

01:44:32.300 Hey, snakes are people, too.

01:44:33.340 No, well...

01:44:33.880 Yeah, they are.

01:44:35.740 Trust me.

01:44:35.800 That's kind of why they came up with a different word for them.

01:44:37.880 They're not.

01:44:38.460 No, snakes are people, too.

01:44:39.080 And if you don't agree with that, well, it's probably because you're a global warming denier.

01:44:43.260 But go ahead.

01:44:43.820 Mm-hmm.

01:44:44.280 When it gets hot, however, the snakes seek cool places.

01:44:48.200 Sure.

01:44:48.460 A wall crevice, under a refrigerator, under a barbecue grill, or behind an air conditioning

01:44:53.120 unit.

01:44:53.640 When it gets super hot and super dry, they have to find places that are cool and moist.

01:44:58.680 Hey, they like to live by a pool, too.

01:45:00.520 They want a pool.

01:45:01.320 Well, a pool is one of the places they could go.

01:45:03.980 However, there's another place that's a tad more concerning.

01:45:08.560 Right.

01:45:09.000 Where they're going now in Australia, which is into toilets.

01:45:12.880 Mm-hmm.

01:45:13.520 A snake pool.

01:45:14.440 People are pulling out two meter-long pythons that had slithered into their doors and climbed

01:45:21.700 into the shower.

01:45:22.920 Mm-hmm.

01:45:23.160 Um, others have taken snakes that have coiled up in toilet bowls.

01:45:28.220 Mm-hmm.

01:45:29.920 And this is just, you know, reason number 7,000 to never go to Australia.

01:45:34.440 Hello.

01:45:35.700 Coexist.

01:45:36.260 I have the bumper sticker.

01:45:38.520 Coexist with the snake in your toilet?

01:45:40.160 With everything.

01:45:42.400 Everything.

01:45:43.200 Well, it's either you don't use your toilet or you're very disrespectful to the snake.

01:45:46.120 One of the two.

01:45:46.600 You can't share your toilet with your snake, with the snake that you took their property.

01:45:52.500 Remember, the snakes were there long before you were there, Jack.

01:45:55.400 The snake border didn't move.

01:45:56.920 I moved the snake border.

01:45:57.920 You're exactly right.

01:45:59.080 Mm-hmm.

01:45:59.660 And all they're looking for is a little pool, a little refreshment that you expect to have.

01:46:04.940 So what's the correct answer there?

01:46:07.020 We just let them stay in there and not use the bathroom anymore? 1.00

01:46:10.940 Well, would you like somebody coming over?

01:46:13.380 Imagine you're snake-sized.

01:46:14.920 No.

01:46:15.980 And there's this giant guy with huge thumbs.

01:46:18.900 Is it a full-size toilet or a snake-size toilet?

01:46:21.340 Well, you're snake-sized, and so it's a full-size toilet.

01:46:25.920 And some guy comes in and...

01:46:29.080 I don't want to put this visual in my mind.

01:46:30.800 He's crapping in your pool.

01:46:32.220 Mm-hmm.

01:46:32.840 Yeah.

01:46:33.240 Do you want people crapping in your pool?

01:46:34.780 No, you leave the poor snakes alone. 0.99

01:46:36.960 But I want to say there is one thing that was very true in this whole half hour, and that is...

01:46:42.320 Why do you live in Australia?

01:46:44.600 Mm-mm.

01:46:45.240 Why do you live in Australia?

01:46:47.720 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:52.440 It was all very true, by the way.

01:46:53.980 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:46:54.900 Yeah.

01:46:55.340 Important stuff.

01:47:49.140 Cow farts are a large part of the Green New Deal, but are they as scary as AOC wants you to believe?

01:47:57.120 We tell that story next.

01:47:58.360 Do you live next to a dairy farm?

01:48:11.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program, and as you know, as a longtime listener of this program,

01:48:15.920 world-renowned for our study and exposés that we do on science.

01:48:25.200 We've won from the Academy of American Scientists and Scientific Stuff three years running now.

01:48:32.640 We have won the show of the year, 2001, 2007, and again last year.

01:48:38.360 And so now that we are looking at the Green New Deal, we want to get to the nuts and bolts of it, 0.95

01:48:46.420 and that is, of course, what Ocasio-Cortez says they are not interested in, you know,

01:48:52.900 eliminating all cattle and cattle ranches and beef farms.

01:48:57.420 But we know that if you're going to address global warming, you have to take care of cow farts. 1.00

01:49:04.440 But if you're, again, a longtime listener of this program, you know that the problem is not on the back end of the cow,

01:49:09.000 but the front end of the cow. 0.94

01:49:10.900 And we have Sarah Place.

01:49:12.340 She's a senior director of sustainable beef production.

01:49:14.720 She's a researcher and an expert in upcycling in human nutrition and just, I would assume, also, you know,

01:49:27.980 knows something about cow farts.

01:49:29.360 Welcome to the program, Sarah.

01:49:31.000 How are you?

01:49:32.300 I'm great.

01:49:33.160 Thanks for having me, Glenn.

01:49:34.020 Good.

01:49:34.440 So let's talk seriously here for a minute about the people who are seriously trying to get cattle ranches and cows eliminated from our diet entirely,

01:49:50.440 and they do it in the name of global warming.

01:49:54.680 Yeah, I think what, you know, we always try to emphasize to people is really cattle and people that are cattle raisers

01:50:01.500 are part of the climate change solution, not a problem.

01:50:04.440 So, as you mentioned, cow farts off the top, that definitely is fake news.

01:50:09.940 I can say before I was at National Cattlemen's, that was actually part of my research was measuring methane from cattle.

01:50:16.360 So it does come out the front end of the animal, but it's overblown in terms of its contribution to climate change,

01:50:23.720 particularly in the United States.

01:50:25.920 Okay.

01:50:26.340 Okay.

01:50:26.620 So wait a minute.

01:50:27.100 So it is cow burps that is the actual, where the methane comes from.

01:50:35.340 And you say it's overblown.

01:50:37.680 How?

01:50:38.920 Yeah.

01:50:39.480 So I think it's important to just zoom out and look at the big picture context.

01:50:43.760 You know, the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States puts out a greenhouse gas emission inventory every year.

01:50:49.440 And if you look at that, you know, methane from cows is about 1.8% of emissions in the entire United States.

01:50:55.960 Well, wait.

01:50:56.660 Nothing, but it's not huge.

01:50:59.180 But wait.

01:50:59.660 I mean, the IPCC report, correct me if I'm wrong, Stu, because you know this stuff inside and out.

01:51:04.220 Don't they say cattle, that is the number one cause of the problem for greenhouse gases?

01:51:11.460 Yeah.

01:51:11.580 Well, they say the entire meat industry, right, Sarah?

01:51:15.120 This is their claim that this is one of the biggest drivers of global climate change.

01:51:19.100 Yeah, yeah.

01:51:20.380 I'm glad you brought that up.

01:51:21.680 So there was a report that came out in, like, 2006 called Livestock's Long Shadow from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization that looked at all livestock.

01:51:30.800 So you're right.

01:51:31.360 It would be all cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, everything.

01:51:35.780 And they claimed in that report that 18% of global emissions, so not U.S., but global emissions, came from livestock.

01:51:43.700 And that report also had an erroneous claim that that was a bigger portion than transportation.

01:51:50.480 The UNFAO has actually come out and said that was wrong.

01:51:53.280 Wow.

01:51:53.900 But that doesn't prevent it from being repeated, you know, still 12 years, 13 years later, like it's fact.

01:52:01.700 What part of it did they say was wrong, that it was more than transportation, or that 18% was wrong?

01:52:06.720 So kind of twofold.

01:52:08.760 So the first thing that was truly wrong was the comparison to transportation.

01:52:13.220 So essentially how they got that 18% number was they did what's called life cycle assessment.

01:52:19.160 So it's a bit into the weeds, but essentially you add up everything that gets emitted over the entire life cycle of a process.

01:52:26.320 So we're going to talk about livestock.

01:52:28.020 That would be everything that comes from feed production to feed the livestock all the way through to, you know, the slaughter of the animals.

01:52:35.200 And what was really key in that report was the biggest chunk of that 18%, a third of it, was what we call land use change.

01:52:43.260 So specifically things like deforestation down in Brazil, which is, of course, again, another pressing issue, but we don't have a deforestation problem here in the United States.

01:52:53.340 So that was really one of the key problems was they added in everything for livestock.

01:52:57.280 And then when they compared it to transportation, they just looked at tailpipe, you know, or emissions directly from vehicles, right?

01:53:05.280 They didn't add in all the emissions that go into building vehicles, that go into maintaining all of our transportation infrastructure from roads to airports, et cetera, et cetera.

01:53:16.540 So hopefully that makes sense.

01:53:17.980 It was kind of an apples to oranges comparison.

01:53:20.740 We're talking to Dr. Sarah Place, and she is the senior director for sustainable beef production and a researcher.

01:53:30.300 And I am a rancher myself.

01:53:32.640 I have, well, this time of year, I think I now have about 100 head, so it's not a lot.

01:53:38.400 But our animals are grazing on natural grass, and, you know, we're trying to do, you know, all right by the animal, right by the planet.

01:53:52.500 Everybody I know who's a rancher or a farmer, they are more concerned about the environment than any environmentalist because their living is made on making sure that that soil and those animals are taken care of

01:54:07.160 and are protected.

01:54:09.500 Are you concerned at all about this new hybrid beef product that is coming out as people are saying that that's going to be much better for you?

01:54:24.680 Yeah.

01:54:25.200 So are you talking about some of these so-called plant-based products and the cell-cultured stuff?

01:54:30.520 Yeah.

01:54:30.740 Is that what you're talking about?

01:54:31.480 Yeah, so I think a lot of things in this space are just, there's a lot of media hype relative to, like, what actually happens on the ground.

01:54:40.820 So, as you just pointed out, I mean, you're the same as all the other ranchers across America, and there's over 700,000 cattle producers in this country.

01:54:51.260 It's the single largest segment of American agriculture.

01:54:54.460 So people, the reality is, is people are dedicated to doing the right thing, as you said.

01:55:00.020 And in terms of those products, you know, again, it is a lot of hype in terms of their sales.

01:55:05.680 They're fairly small in the grand scheme of things.

01:55:09.620 And, of course, the cell-cultured products don't actually even exist yet.

01:55:13.560 You know, there's just a lot of media coverage about them coming out at some point, but they're still not commercially available.

01:55:18.960 I think our biggest challenge is just this real big chasm we have in terms of understanding between the normal consuming public that's disconnected from agriculture by a few generations and some of this marketing that is surrounding some of these products because they're trying to use some of the misinformation that's out there to their advantage, especially with regard to environmental impacts of cattle production.

01:55:43.960 I have to tell you, Sarah, there is there is nothing more healthy for a family than to go and spend a summer on a farm.

01:55:53.960 And I mean this sincerely.

01:55:56.120 Something happened to us when we moved away from the farm.

01:55:58.980 You learn so many things.

01:56:01.200 You learn about sex.

01:56:03.040 You learn about life and death.

01:56:06.440 As my kids and I went out to go capture a sheep that was lost from the flock and we had to go out and we spent about an hour chasing this darn thing because we're city slickers.

01:56:21.800 We, you know, we talked about scriptures.

01:56:24.340 You learn everything about the circle of life and how to take care of the planet.

01:56:29.540 There is something to be said that as we lose these things in an agrarian culture, as we have lost them, it's it's one of the sources for losing our way on so many things because there is what you read about is not what life on the farm or life on a ranch is actually like.

01:56:50.740 It's just not.

01:56:52.880 Yeah, I think you're 100 percent right on that.

01:56:55.340 I mean, in the last 100 years, we've gone to, you know, from a majority population in rural areas and in agriculture to now it's, you know, less than 15 percent of the U.S. population is in rural areas.

01:57:07.620 So that is just the reality.

01:57:09.900 And it's sometimes like you point out some of these basic things, you know, cycle of life that have been lost, that connection has been lost for people.

01:57:19.020 And that, you know, what you mentioned earlier, the upcycling, I mean, that's really our way to try to drive that home to people is.

01:57:25.660 What is upcycling?

01:57:26.660 What is upcycling?

01:57:27.840 Yeah, so everybody's heard of recycling, right?

01:57:29.880 Essentially taking one thing and making something of equivalent value.

01:57:33.040 Upcycling is taking something of little or no value to people and making a higher value product.

01:57:38.780 And again, when we think about beef production, cattle production, that's exactly what's happening, right?

01:57:43.940 I mean, cattle are eating plants that we can't eat and they're using lands that we can't use for crops otherwise.

01:57:51.560 And they're making this super nutrient rich food for us.

01:57:55.260 And so, again, it's just using a different word to kind of try to drive home to people the basics that, again, if you are on a ranch or you are connected with agriculture, some of this seems like a no-brainer.

01:58:06.580 But because people are removed a few generations, you know, we do have to kind of explain the basics again to people.

01:58:12.260 So, Sarah, it's great talking to you.

01:58:14.640 Thank you so much.

01:58:15.340 Dr. Sarah Place, you can find her and follow her at DRS Place.

01:58:22.740 Dr. Sarah Place, thank you so much.

01:58:25.180 I appreciate your time.

01:58:27.340 The entire agricultural community is uncomfortable with you calling yourself a rancher.

01:58:31.840 No, I apologize to all ranchers.

01:58:34.760 Thank you.

01:58:35.920 No, I'm a guy who pretends to be a rancher.

01:58:39.820 Right, you go on vacation ranching.

01:58:41.300 I do.

01:58:41.720 I go and I do want to go.

01:58:45.380 I would move there in a heartbeat.

01:58:46.980 You're essentially City Slickers, the movie.

01:58:48.920 That's essentially what you are.

01:58:50.300 You're a city guy.

01:58:51.140 I wouldn't say all the family is, but I certainly am.

01:58:53.900 Yeah, and you show up.

01:58:54.520 I'm like, you know what?

01:58:55.320 We need some horses.

01:58:56.860 Why do we need horses?

01:58:57.800 Because we want to go to...

01:58:58.640 No, because they would look good right over there.

01:59:00.520 Wouldn't that be really...

01:59:01.500 It would be so picturesque.

01:59:02.900 All right.

01:59:05.160 Anyway, I apologize to everyone in my 500-person town in Idaho for embarrassing you on so many levels.

01:59:14.160 All right.

01:59:14.540 Let me tell you a little bit about LifeLock.

01:59:17.240 LifeLock, tax season is here.

01:59:41.000 Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds, and that's why there is LifeLock.

01:59:45.660 LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number or your information,

01:59:51.420 your tax ID on sale on the dark web.

01:59:54.840 If they detect that your information is being used, they're going to send you alert.

01:59:58.440 And then if it is being used, they're going to help clean it up.

02:00:02.440 That's what they do.

02:00:03.580 It's worth every penny you could pay for this.

02:00:07.120 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but you need LifeLock.

02:00:30.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

02:00:33.900 Have you seen the latest deepfake?

02:00:51.380 People are saying this one is terrifying.

02:00:53.600 I don't think so, and I don't think it is what they think it is.

02:00:56.360 If you have seen the latest deepfake, I tweeted it out earlier this morning.

02:01:01.400 You'll find it at glenbeck.com.

02:01:03.040 But the latest deepfake is of Donald Trump and Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson from, or Rowan Atkins.

02:01:12.520 Is that his name, Atkins?

02:01:14.480 From Mr. Bean, the comedian from England.

02:01:17.980 And if you look at it, can we play a little bit of that here if you happen to be watching?

02:01:21.300 I beat China all the time. 0.77

02:01:23.820 When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo?

02:01:28.740 When do we beat Mexico at the border?

02:01:29.900 So it is Mr. Bean's face on Donald Trump, and his crazy eyes.

02:01:36.100 And his crazy eyes.

02:01:36.840 But I have to tell you that this is not the deepfake.

02:01:40.520 This is a deeperfake than anyone thinks this deepfake is.

02:01:44.500 Because the deepfake is, oh, that's Mr. Bean.

02:01:48.880 No.

02:01:50.120 Mr. Bean is also a deepfake.

02:01:52.960 So this is a two-level deepfake.

02:01:55.780 This is, Mr. Bean is a deepfake of Ocasio-Cortez.

02:01:59.760 That's why the eyes look like that.

02:02:02.980 They are Ocasio-Cortez's eyes, aren't they?

02:02:05.240 They are.

02:02:06.200 Mr. Bean and Ocasio-Cortez have the same eyes.

02:02:08.720 Yeah, you put one face on, you get the same eyes.

02:02:12.280 Doesn't matter.

02:02:13.760 I'd like to see that done with Ocasio-Cortez, because I think they're pretty much the same.

02:02:19.400 And Cory Booker has a similar eye thing going on, too.

02:02:22.580 Have you noticed him, when he tries to make these points, he gets really excited, and his

02:02:25.580 eyes really flare out super wide?

02:02:27.740 Mm-hmm.

02:02:29.000 That's it.

02:02:29.860 Why is that?

02:02:32.920 What's going on?

02:02:33.920 Maybe life surprises them all the time?

02:02:35.800 It does.

02:02:36.380 Oh, my gosh.

02:02:37.140 I just had an idea.

02:02:38.120 We should get rid of all the planes.

02:02:39.580 Yeah.

02:02:40.080 It could be that.

02:02:40.740 Yeah, because I think Booker is so fake that he's constantly trying to over-emote.

02:02:47.300 He's trying to, he's an over-actor.

02:02:49.520 That's the I am Spartacus syndrome.

02:02:53.180 I was genuine.

02:02:54.160 Oh, yeah.

02:02:55.000 He's one of those guys that tries to convince you he's sincere by acting more and more outlandish.

02:03:00.960 Mm-hmm.

02:03:01.420 Ocasio-Cortez is just genuinely surprised by life.

02:03:04.360 Oh, she is. 0.88

02:03:04.960 There's three branches of government?

02:03:05.960 Oh, my gosh.

02:03:06.560 Right.

02:03:06.700 Her eyes light up.

02:03:07.460 Exactly right.

02:03:08.160 Really bright.

02:03:08.620 It's exactly right.

02:03:09.640 We had more beers where I was working than three.

02:03:19.660 We had Bud.

02:03:21.360 We had Bud Light.

02:03:22.960 We had Amstel.

02:03:24.760 And then we had these microbrewery beers.

02:03:29.220 And the government only has three branches?

02:03:31.860 That's crazy.

02:03:33.920 That's the way, that's why her eyes look that way.

02:03:36.660 When she gets excited or angry, her eyes, like, really just do that really wide thing.

02:03:42.320 And I don't know, it's been such a weird thing with this Green New Deal in that we saw the draft that came out, which the draft was posted mistakenly, Glenn.

02:03:51.820 They just, they didn't mean that.

02:03:53.200 That was just an early draft.

02:03:54.440 First of all, if that's your early draft, you suck, right?

02:03:56.540 Like, it's a terrible document.

02:03:58.140 And it should not be, like, if you handed it to an intern who had never heard of the project and that's what they came up with, maybe that would be an excuse.

02:04:04.640 The fact that your chief of staff wrote this as his notes is pretty bizarre, even if it is just a draft.

02:04:11.660 But it wasn't just a draft.

02:04:12.940 Obviously, they sent it to NPR.

02:04:14.880 The chief of staff sent it to NPR.

02:04:17.100 And so did, and they posted it on their website.

02:04:19.540 And only after a day or two of mocking do they actually pull it down.

02:04:23.040 And why wouldn't they just then repost the correct draft?

02:04:26.580 Where is that?

02:04:28.100 Why haven't we seen the actual correct draft if this was the wrong draft?

02:04:32.240 Where's the final draft?

02:04:33.580 Right now, Ocasio-Cortez is like, oh my gosh.

02:04:36.840 And her eyes are open.

02:04:37.340 We forgot.

02:04:38.520 We should post the original draft.

02:04:42.040 That's a great idea.

02:04:43.920 That's why her eyes are open like that.

02:04:45.980 She's like, wow, I didn't think of that.

02:04:49.420 Well, you know what?

02:04:50.600 Stop working on banning all air travel for just a second and let's post the new one.

02:04:55.860 That's actually the old one.

02:04:57.940 Oh my gosh, it's so simple.

02:05:00.640 Why didn't I think of that?

02:05:07.920 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:05:13.500 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

02:05:32.460 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
