The Glenn Beck Program - Immunity By Skin Color ｜ Guest： Brian Riedl ｜ 7⧸29⧸19

00:00:00.000 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program you know i try not

00:00:09.700 to be too demanding i try not to ask for too much in life because it's hard but today i think i have

00:00:17.780 what i at least imagine is a simple request for the media a simple basic request i'm not going

00:00:26.040 too far i'm not asking for too much but i would like you to at least try to explain why trump's

00:00:36.400 baltimore comments were racist i'm not asking you to convince me i'm not asking you to come up with

00:00:44.180 an airtight case i'm not asking you to produce tapes that show donald trump talking about baltimore in

00:00:51.420 some racist way i'm not asking for any of that i'm not asking you for pictures of donald trump in a

00:00:56.700 hood i'm not asking you for him burning a cross on somebody's lawn i'm asking you to at least attempt

00:01:04.920 to explain why these comments are racist not just put it in the story and say trump's racist tweets

00:01:11.980 about baltimore i mean an actual attempt at explaining one time why these tweets

00:01:21.260 and comments were racist because that has not even been attempted from what i've seen from the

00:01:28.140 media this weekend we're talking about an accusation of racism here okay racism we all know really really

00:01:35.100 bad we don't like it at all okay it's one of the most serious accusations you can make about another

00:01:39.460 person right it's like the the most serious thing you can say about someone this side of child molester

00:01:45.800 okay we're talking about racism when you say that you should probably have at least some sort of

00:01:51.920 justification as to why the nearest i can take from the media right now is number one trump's comments

00:01:59.780 were about elijah cummings and elijah cummings is black well that is not evidence of racism okay

00:02:05.480 number two black people live in baltimore not all black people it's not 100 of black people live in

00:02:13.640 baltimore and it's not 100 of the population is black but there are some black people who live

00:02:18.000 in baltimore so the fact that they have a black representative and there are some black people who

00:02:22.780 live in baltimore apparently enough to conclude that donald trump is a racist it's enough for us to

00:02:29.200 conclude that this guy is one of the worst things we can all possibly imagine case you missed the

00:02:36.680 troop uh the tweets that came from uh you know late this weekend elijah cummings has been a brutal

00:02:42.740 bully shouting and screaming at the great men and women of border patrol about conditions at the

00:02:46.800 southern border when actually his baltimore district is far worse and more dangerous his district is

00:02:53.100 considered the worst in the usa uh trump went on to say his uh cummings district is a disgusting

00:02:59.800 rat and rodent infested mess if he spent more time in baltimore maybe he could help clean up this very

00:03:09.660 dangerous and filthy place if you're going to accuse someone of racism it is on you to give the

00:03:18.280 evidence as to why it's racist it's not on trump to have to disprove your claim of racism it's on you

00:03:23.780 to have to prove it when you accuse someone of what is essentially a crime in today's society

00:03:29.060 you have to be able to back it up with some level of evidence so we're gonna come by come back and go

00:03:37.020 through these comments step by step i want to know will the media even take the time to attempt to

00:03:45.660 explain it because right now they're just putting it in the headlines trump tweets racist things about

00:03:53.340 cummings trump tweets racist things about baltimore

00:03:57.180 why are they racist are you going to try to explain it we're going to break this down in 60 seconds

00:04:08.520 this is the glenbeck program identity theft is a real problem that can affect any american take

00:04:18.200 philip for example he's a lifelock member and philip was about to purchase an eighty thousand dollar

00:04:22.680 luxury car but here's the thing it wasn't philip it was a cyber criminal who purchased philip's

00:04:28.060 identity on the dark web and was attempting to make a purchase using philip's name this cyber

00:04:33.160 criminal had philip's email social security number home address even created a fraudulent driver's

00:04:38.500 license with all of his information but little did the criminal know that philip had purchased

00:04:43.600 lifelock if philip didn't have lifelock philip would be out he'd been left picking up the wreckage

00:04:49.640 from fraudulent purchases all by himself now nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor

00:04:54.840 all transactions at all businesses but lifelock can detect threats to your identity that you might

00:04:59.980 miss if you're just monitoring your credit so get lifelock at lifelock.com and call 1-800-LIFELOCK

00:05:06.920 use the promo code BECK that's promo code BECK for an extra 10% off your first year at lifelock.com

00:05:13.580 it's stew in for glenn who's on vacation this week so the case for racism and donald trump

00:05:29.600 what is it number one i guess it's that elijah cummings is black and whenever trump criticizes

00:05:40.500 someone who isn't white the motivation is always assumed to be race he can't criticize anyone else

00:05:48.760 uh without racism being so the sort of core of it and what's fascinating about that is we're

00:05:57.600 essentially creating a standard in which a black congressperson cannot be criticized that is an

00:06:04.080 amazing superpower if you're in congress man you want that immunity by skin color that is something

00:06:11.360 that every congressperson could use if you're a congressman and you can say whatever you want you

00:06:17.440 can do as good or as bad a job as you want you can blow every assignment you have but if you happen

00:06:23.920 to be black the president of the united states can't say anything bad about you because it's

00:06:28.320 automatically race is that a standard you're comfortable with i don't even understand if you

00:06:36.580 read the tweets you go back and look at it donald trump doesn't even allude to race in any of them

00:06:43.780 you are not only assuming his intent to be race but also inserting race into the conversation where it

00:06:53.100 didn't exist at no point did he say anything about race is it racist simply because he used the word

00:07:04.700 baltimore or is that really where we are i know it was racist if you brought up chicago

00:07:12.100 when barack obama was president now it's racist if you just say baltimore

00:07:18.140 the country you live in is accepting that as a standard referencing a city is now racist

00:07:28.740 is it racist because some of the residents of baltimore are black

00:07:37.640 that's what makes it racist because some people who live there are black

00:07:43.880 this is completely insane you do realize that the media has come to this place where

00:07:51.660 they have built this long form sort of case over multiple years that donald trump is a racist

00:07:59.720 so therefore they are now free to apply it to any story they are free to say he is motivated by racism

00:08:09.020 whenever they want of course to engage in this sort of nonsense you have to ignore something

00:08:20.920 that everyone in america knows everyone who lives here knows the truth about what we're looking at here

00:08:30.040 with donald trump and his tweets which is donald trump says bad things about people

00:08:37.840 who say bad things about him

00:08:40.340 that's what he does this is not a freaking sixth sense type of plot twist the guy when he gets pissed

00:08:50.960 off at you says bad things about you there it is absolutely known so if you are going to say

00:08:59.040 something is racism it is on you to explain why every time he has someone say something bad

00:09:07.800 about him he attacks them regardless of their race it is up to you to explain and and and whittle this

00:09:18.860 one out for us as to why when he attacks a person of color you assume every single time it's race

00:09:24.100 every time he does it to a white person you just assign his motives to something else

00:09:28.720 but every time it's not a white person you say it's race that is not analysis and it's certainly

00:09:35.420 not journalism i mean it's one thing for rachel maddow to go on television and say well donald

00:09:41.480 trump's a racist and i think he's a racist because baltimore has black people who live in it i mean

00:09:46.060 that's not good analysis but at least at least it's someone giving an opinion

00:09:49.480 we're talking about journalists who are going on television and saying you are not a good journalist

00:09:55.980 if you don't say it's racist without any qualifiers you can't say that there's racial tension

00:10:00.960 around the comments you can't say they're racially tinged you have to say the man is a racist you

00:10:06.960 know it you've journalistically discovered it you have somehow been able to dive into this guy's brain

00:10:14.560 and despite the fact that he didn't reference race in any way you are able to decipher that he is

00:10:23.180 motivated solely by race some of these places that are saying this

00:10:32.020 have very clear information to know that it's not true for example the new york times has an actual

00:10:41.360 running list of all of the people donald trump has insulted since he kind of got back into the swing

00:10:47.940 of politics here in the past few years 598 individuals and organizations which donald trump

00:10:57.260 has insulted in some cases dozens of times each why are so many of them white this guy is the

00:11:08.200 crappiest racist i've ever seen he can't even figure out how to only insult black people

00:11:14.840 what do they all have in common and what do they all have in common they've all said bad things

00:11:22.840 about donald trump when you say something bad about donald trump donald trump responds and he

00:11:27.580 says bad things about you i mean just go through the a's of this list jim acosta white right i'm pretty

00:11:35.200 sure he was white when donald trump called him crazy general john allen pretty sure he was white when

00:11:43.140 donald trump said he failed badly anderson cooper pretty sure he was white when he called him a

00:11:49.880 waste michael avenatti pretty sure he was white when he called him a total loser but stacy abrams is in

00:12:00.080 the a's too he called her totally unqualified because she was black 1.00

00:12:06.280 this is what you have to believe how about the letter o tim o'brien a white writer for bloomberg

00:12:18.560 is dumb really stupid and dopey i don't know maybe he didn't think he was white 0.92

00:12:27.880 the words he types are black you know how about claire o'connor at forbes was she white when trump

00:12:37.940 called her a dummy how about danny o'connor who was i think running for congress when was he white

00:12:45.500 when he called him weak and a puppet pretty sure he was laurence o'donnell from msnbc was he white 0.79

00:12:52.620 when donald trump called him a fool dopey and one of the dumber people on television

00:12:59.280 oh yes those were all white but i can tell you this when he insulted elon omar that was racist

00:13:09.440 he only did that because she was black not because she's been out there calling him terrible names and

00:13:15.220 accusing him of all sorts of terrible things for years it's because she was black

00:13:20.540 these this is nonsense and they all must know it right they all must know this

00:13:31.000 we're all wildly aware of these issues are we not donald trump when you're a jerk to donald trump 0.84

00:13:40.540 he's a jerk to you when you're nice to donald trump he's nice to you

00:13:43.860 do we not know this the guy you know what what happened if elijah cummings came out tomorrow

00:13:52.000 and said you know what donald trump should be the next head uh on on mount rushmore because he's the

00:13:58.560 greatest president that has ever lived he would love elijah cummings he would say great things about

00:14:05.760 elijah cummings starting tomorrow if elijah cummings started saying nice things about him

00:14:11.720 and he thought they were legitimate he thought they i don't even know if you need to say you don't even

00:14:16.600 know if you they have to be believable elijah cummings if he reversed himself today donald trump

00:14:21.820 would reverse himself tomorrow guys the guy the guy did this with kim jong-un he he is saying

00:14:32.560 currently nice things about a north korean dictator this is not rocket science this is not elite level

00:14:42.080 physics when he says something bad about you it's likely because you said something bad about him

00:14:48.980 it doesn't matter what color you are it is nothing to do with race nothing and if you're going to say

00:14:58.420 like you look at the actual comments he made that don't have anything to do with race you have to

00:15:04.840 ask yourself can the criticism be applied to let's say a white person can it you know if he says oh well

00:15:12.760 this is uh this what did he say he said the state place was filthy he said the place was um dangerous

00:15:19.880 i mean can that be applied can filthy be applied to a white person first of all i give you pigpen 0.93

00:15:25.060 uh who absolutely was white and was filthy and i don't mind saying it about pigpen his name indicates 0.82

00:15:32.260 it unless you're a pig and then it's it's insulting to pigs it's not insulting to pigpen pigpen was white 0.89

00:15:39.160 but would trump use filthy to describe a white person let me give you an example of that do you

00:15:47.200 remember the red hen does the red hen pop up any memories to you the red hen is a breakfast place

00:15:57.780 i think it's some restaurant and it's a restaurant that sarah huckabee sanders went to it's owned by a

00:16:04.680 white person and this white person doesn't like donald trump and apparently some of the patrons there

00:16:10.920 didn't like donald trump and so when they saw sarah huckabee sanders sitting down for some you know

00:16:15.740 i don't know pancakes or hummus or whatever the heck they were serving there 0.91

00:16:19.440 they decided to ask her to leave it was kind of a minor controversy a few months ago of course sarah

00:16:25.980 huckabee sanders was like all right fine i don't want to eat here if you don't want to serve me and she left 0.99

00:16:29.300 donald trump got wind of it you know what he said he said the red hen was a filthy establishment

00:16:34.760 it's owned by a white person but it was still filthy why because donald trump felt that would be the

00:16:40.760 best insult at that moment he has no idea he's probably never been to the red hen he would

00:16:45.280 probably never go to the red hen he has no idea whether it's filthy or not he just doesn't like

00:16:49.840 the people because they don't like him this is this is not deep calculus and everybody in the media

00:16:58.180 knows it it's got nothing to do with racism but i just love how deep the media has to go

00:18:30.160 we're talking about the accusations of racism against donald trump when it comes to these tweets

00:18:38.020 about elijah cummings in baltimore and a lot of one of a lot of the things you'll see is he's

00:18:43.280 criticizing a majority black district that's one of the big ones they keep phrasing it that way

00:18:47.680 now look it's 53 percent black so yes technically it's a majority black uh district but you know there's

00:18:54.860 very it's diverse population there's people of all sorts in this particular district it's some of

00:19:00.480 it's urban some of it's not so urban there's farms there's inner cities there's all sorts of things in

00:19:05.100 this district uh somehow trump has actually found a way to get in trouble for criticizing minorities

00:19:10.620 though when they're actually the majority in the district which is kind of a an interesting

00:19:15.340 gymnastics trick there but he's not criticizing the district he's not criticizing the people of the

00:19:21.820 district he's criticizing the incredibly crappy job its representative has done representing it

00:19:28.060 and we should point out with elijah cummings it's not his district i hate that i hate that wording

00:19:34.720 it's this sort of thing we're putting this is governmental supremacy that is all in our heads for some

00:19:39.600 reason it's not his district cummings doesn't own the district he works there he works for the people

00:19:45.100 there the congressman does not own his district and and i i know that's kind of uh linguistics there

00:19:54.000 but we keep turning politicians into kings and we need to stop that but trump isn't just some random

00:20:00.060 white guy donald trump i know this is weird i know he used to see him on the whole you know the reality

00:20:06.080 shows and stuff but he's the president of the united states he's not just some old white guy that you

00:20:10.480 don't like i mean it's just as much donald trump's district as it is elijah cummings district donald trump

00:20:19.600 has responsibilities for the outcomes and the way it's run just like elijah cummings does elijah

00:20:24.480 cummings is obviously more local but i mean donald trump has talked a lot about changing things in the

00:20:29.700 inner cities and he's had some really good results to uh to argue there i mean we can talk about the

00:20:34.800 economy and the way it's affected with uh minority unemployment rates which are at all-time lows

00:20:41.200 you talk about things like criminal justice reform which were high priorities for for many of these

00:20:46.100 communities but i don't think this is an argument that that elijah cummings wants he's been there for

00:20:51.420 20 years things have not gone well in those two decades

00:20:55.740 what is clear is that what elijah cummings is doing in this district is not helping and what

00:21:06.900 honestly what the voters of the district are doing isn't helping either because they keep sending this

00:21:11.420 guy back over and over and over again despite zero results if you want to criticize voters for their

00:21:17.180 decision making process that's a good place to start you know it's sideshow bob walking around in a

00:21:22.740 field of rakes every place you step another rake comes up and bashes you in the face and they keep

00:21:29.520 doing the same thing over and over and over again you're listening to glenn beck did you know on

00:21:40.840 average it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security alarm that's almost an hour but it's

00:21:47.640 not because the police are lazy or anything like that it's because when a home security system is

00:21:52.200 triggered most of the time it's a false alarm and the call goes to the bottom of the 911 list but

00:21:58.660 not if you have simply safe home security simply safe can visually confirm that a break-in is happening

00:22:05.840 and they let the police know only with simply safe they protect every door window and room there's no

00:22:11.540 contract hidden fees or fine print and the around the clock monitoring starts at 15 a month simply safe

00:22:18.900 they've got a huge deal going on right now if you just go to simply safe dot com slash glenn and get

00:22:24.620 a free hd security camera when you order that's a hundred dollar value you'll have eyes on your home

00:22:30.480 24 7 get your free hd security camera now at simply safe dot com slash glenn today that's simply safe

00:22:38.420 dot com slash glenn it's doing for glenn back on the glenn back program we're talking about baltimore

00:22:44.960 and donald trump's tweets how racist are they and of course the part of the story which is always

00:22:50.140 fascinating to me about how despite the fact that pretty much everyone acknowledges uh at least

00:22:55.440 acknowledged until this weekend that baltimore had a real problem uh they just continue to keep voting

00:23:02.560 people like elijah cummings in and you know our system does allow for people to continually vote

00:23:08.820 for their own destruction that is something uh our system does allow for that's democracy and it's the

00:23:16.120 reason why we have a constitutional republic that is not completely dominated by democracy uh because

00:23:21.800 we are susceptible to making incredibly stupid decisions sometimes uh and that's something that

00:23:28.880 we all have to think about and probably solve but many of these cities if you look at the records

00:23:34.320 who's been running them and the results they've been coming out with the cities really need to be

00:23:40.100 thinking about this and should examine their voting patterns pat gray joins me from pat gray unleash the

00:23:45.620 incredible program on blaze radio television and of course podcast immediately proceeds this one

00:23:51.160 as a matter of fact uh so you know get up early and stay late uh anyway the the most racisty racist

00:24:01.600 who's ever raced yeah is in office right now and he's he must be stopped thank you i i find it

00:24:09.020 incredible that they just dropped any form of journalistic uh integrity by calling it just flat

00:24:16.460 out racist is racist when there's not a racist thing in his tweet show me what is blatantly racist

00:24:22.520 that you can absolutely just flat out call racist there's nothing no so that's a judgment call on

00:24:28.480 the part so they're not even using alleged assumed supposed none of those words apply i do think i

00:24:35.220 think that's the most fascinating part of this to me in that you know because again this isn't lawrence

00:24:40.080 o'donnell it's not you know uh rachel maddow doing this it's not only journalists doing it

00:24:46.840 they're actually like saying you're not a good journalist if you say racially tinged or alleged

00:24:53.800 racism they're they're calling out journalists it's like the tough guy thing if you if you uh if

00:25:00.240 you can't funnel a beer you're you're not you're not going to be in this fraternity it's like if you

00:25:04.780 don't call him racist with no qualifiers you're not in our fraternity anymore it's crazy that's an

00:25:09.760 amazing development it is because they are just guessing at his motives guessing oh absolutely

00:25:14.240 absolutely and it's not like he hasn't tweeted about white people he's he's an equal opportunity

00:25:20.440 offender and it's you know how many times has he called out others who were you know losers or

00:25:28.980 dummies or whatever and they are yeah many times in many cases yeah i mean the new york times has a

00:25:34.800 running list they have as of i think the last time they updated it was last month 598 individuals and

00:25:42.440 organizations in which he's insulted some of them dozens of times each and you go through it and i

00:25:48.560 did not count all 598 because i have a little bit of a life but i mean to me it seems like the

00:25:55.600 overwhelming majority are white people oh i think so yeah you know again so it's the same thing in the

00:26:00.400 country you'd expect it but again the opposition right and he's he's almost exclusively tweeting

00:26:05.920 about people who don't like him yeah so a lot of them are democrats did you did you see the victor

00:26:10.860 blackwell from cnn uh comments i first of all victor blackwell who who is this guy victor blackwell

00:26:17.960 i have never heard of this guy and i guess he's got a show on cnn on the weekends and he felt pretty

00:26:24.540 strongly about it here's what he said the president says about congressman cummings district

00:26:29.020 uh-oh he's fighting back the tears oh man oh bite that lip oh

00:26:37.760 come on that no human human would want to live there you know who did mr president i did you you

00:26:45.860 did from the day i was brought home from the hospital right to the day i left for college well

00:26:50.620 you didn't have any choice when you're a lot of people i care about still do there are challenges

00:26:54.860 no doubt wait but now that he has a choice now he has a choice he's gone i don't want to sound

00:26:59.680 self-righteous okay then don't but people get up it's too late for work there yeah they care for

00:27:06.140 their families there nobody said they love their children yeah pledge allegiance to the flag just

00:27:11.540 like people who live in districts of congressmen who support you sir okay they are americans too so who

00:27:17.320 wants to live there i do the guy left that utopia the very second it was his choice the very second

00:27:26.220 soon as he's out of high school he gets the hell out of baltimore and doesn't look back come on i mean

00:27:34.300 come on the gymnastics they will go through unbelievable to criticize trump and like you know

00:27:42.500 to the point of they're like now saying basically baltimore is disneyland oh in fact it's actually

00:27:49.840 better than disneyland because they have a lot more mice because i mean disneyland we only has the one

00:27:53.800 big one they've got millions glenn and i lived and worked there in uh 89 through 92 uh when we first got

00:28:03.860 to town our the station set us down to do these publicity photos and so we're looking for the place this

00:28:09.500 was before gps obviously and we're looking for the place and we go down this alley in baltimore

00:28:13.960 it's really one of those wide alleys and and uh it's paved and on every post is a sign that says

00:28:22.600 warning rat infestation which you already knew because you see all the squished rats on the on the

00:28:30.900 pavement that car after car after car drove over why because baltimore is rat infested and has been

00:28:38.980 for a long time for a long time at the time they estimated rats outnumbered people in balt in the

00:28:44.340 inner baltimore area 20 let's see there were 20 million rats to 2 million people so it's only a

00:28:51.620 10 to 1 ratio i mean don't give them voting rights i mean jeez you'd have a rat president in in moments 0.89

00:28:58.880 did you also see the on the blaze they posted a woman who lives in the area and she went through

00:29:03.720 the neighborhood showing you some some some of the garbage where some of these neighborhoods are

00:29:09.500 subject to dumping and people just drive in and dump their garbage there and you know there's

00:29:14.780 mattresses and washing machines and and i don't know all manner of trash in everybody's yards and

00:29:21.640 fields and abandoned row house buildings where there's been a tree growing inside of it that is

00:29:27.540 now taller than the building so this isn't something that happened overnight no it's been going on for

00:29:32.520 decades and everybody knows everybody knows it it also has the highest murder rate in the country

00:29:38.100 of large cities it's second overall uh second only to the mean streets of helena montana of course

00:29:43.600 i don't think it's helena but yeah but this is actually second i mean it's 56 deaths murders per

00:29:52.440 100 000 people that is skyrocket high oh yeah it's very high and it's been getting worse recently yeah

00:29:59.080 uh in fact you know the part when you say you're there 89 to 92 after that it went through a little

00:30:05.080 bit of a rebirth right um and kind of came back and has gone and unfortunately has slipped back down

00:30:10.360 the other way well they've been trying for a long time yeah to make baltimore nice that's why they

00:30:14.380 built the inner harbor and i think spent i don't know one or two billion dollars on it and that was

00:30:18.520 in the 80s that was a long time ago so they've been trying really hard and there are nice spots

00:30:24.220 yes absolutely there are but we all know there are parts of baltimore you do not want to let alone

00:30:30.940 visit let alone live in no question know it i mean the wire was a series all about it uh we we are all

00:30:40.180 100 uh you know deep in the knowledge of the problems of baltimore and yet trump is so far

00:30:48.200 in the heads of the media that they will actually come out and defend baltimore like it's paradise i

00:30:53.840 know like it's basically a sandals on an all-inclusive place to just go and you swim up

00:30:58.880 bar on every corner that is not what baltimore is sure isn't it isn't i mean this is a city i mean

00:31:04.480 even the orioles suck the blue jays are going to lose 100 games this year and still finish 10 games 1.00

00:31:10.780 ahead of the orioles that's how bad it is in baltimore right now this is i may be going to sports just

00:31:17.140 because i know football's around the corner and i know you're the only person around here i usually

00:31:22.040 have to sit in this room with glenn yeah and he's not excited yeah you're the only person i know who's

00:31:26.480 actually excited i'm so excited about football returning yes uh and i'm more excited about that

00:31:31.640 than i am rats in baltimore really yes that's a and again how what's the oriole to rat numbers in

00:31:38.960 baltimore i gotta believe like and or the ravens uh-huh like hundreds of thousands to one right

00:31:45.820 just name them the rats and go for it i think you do that um i was fascinated by this i know

00:31:52.220 you're a big peyton manning fan this story is fascinating to me um it's a it's a it's a column

00:31:58.080 written about uh about peyton manning and here's the title everybody loves peyton manning but for how

00:32:04.560 much longer uh-oh and it goes into okay you know peyton manning's the guy everything he can go he can

00:32:10.000 sponsor of any product people want him to every big broadcasting opening that comes up he's always the

00:32:15.540 first guy mentioned yeah people talk about him trying to get him for senator for governor for

00:32:19.980 president right like this is peyton manning he has that sort of profile here's the question though

00:32:24.140 as the column reads in a culture that seems hell-bent on savaging its icons how long can it

00:32:29.020 last america is in full teardown mode right now nobody gets to skate on i was young and stupid or 0.56

00:32:34.020 those are my beliefs i stand by them anymore fair or not and we all think of reputation shattering

00:32:38.600 overreach even if we can't all agree exactly which reputations were unfairly shattered that's the way

00:32:43.800 the world is now this isn't limited to either political party or ideology both sides want to

00:32:48.620 claim their stars and demonize the other side manning has thrived because he has kept his beliefs

00:32:53.300 tucked close he is to coin a phrase sticking to sports still we can rough out the edges of his ideology

00:33:02.800 uh-oh number one he's a frequent visitor to and possible member of augusta national no so right

00:33:14.300 there this guy wait he's a possible member of we don't even know he's a member huh now i thought

00:33:21.060 the way that reads it you think he's going to say the kkk is going to be under that but no no it's

00:33:25.640 augusta national augusta national it's a golf club wow so we know he's a golfer okay he's donated to

00:33:34.380 republican figures no he hasn't including the recent presidential campaigns of mitt romney

00:33:41.380 and jeb bush wow now how much do you hate him more recently he's played golf with donald trump

00:33:51.880 and spoken at republican events bastard now to say this is an observation folks not criticism he's 0.85

00:33:59.340 not i don't think he's even trying to make the case that this should happen right bayton manning

00:34:03.000 um there's nothing wrong with me but manning or anything else or anyone else voting the way they

00:34:07.480 wish and associating with whomever they wish of course but you don't have to work hard to see how

00:34:11.180 manning like everyone else who believes in something more than kicking back and watching netflix could end

00:34:15.860 up in the middle of it the us versus them kickball team picking that america has become

00:34:20.380 returning to the public eye means surrendering control of your image and manning guards and

00:34:25.400 nurtures his image as closely as any athlete ever has if he steps back into the life spotlight he'll

00:34:30.740 make sure to do it in a way that keeps everyone happy otherwise he'll just keep doing what he's

00:34:35.200 done for the past few years showing us exactly what he wants us to see and nothing more it's fascinating

00:34:40.220 because they go into um you know the accusations from his time in college where a one woman said

00:34:46.900 that he made sexually sort of uh suggestive jokes and gestures and may have had contact in some way

00:34:54.660 right and basically they're saying like if he comes out and he starts if he turns into an out 0.85

00:35:00.460 republican where he may use that against him he will then be is it me too'd or whatever and all of a sudden

00:35:09.100 those things will become serious like we're at a time now where even when you go your entire life

00:35:14.880 trying to avoid being a figure in these sort of culture wars they will suck you in sort of

00:35:22.780 against your will oh for sure and that is a weird world to live in isn't it it is especially for

00:35:28.540 somebody so beloved as peyton manning is there anybody who doesn't like him i don't know if i've

00:35:33.560 run across anyone i can't think of anybody the guy's was great at hall of fame career he's great at all

00:35:40.180 these commercials he's just seems to be fun and the reason he didn't take the uh the monday night

00:35:46.100 football gig was because he didn't want to analyze his own brother he's just he's a great guy seemingly

00:35:51.700 it does seem that way yeah so why not destroy it they will that is especially since he's a republican

00:35:57.300 apparently oh no you can't have that can't have that that'll be bad do you think peyton wants his jeb 1.00

00:36:01.740 bush money back though you gotta you gotta believe yeah i mean he's thrown some bad interception is

00:36:08.520 in his life but that's one you definitely want back all right pat gray i get the podcast every day

00:36:38.640 glenn on tv this week as well tonight we have an ilan omar update which is of course uh completely

00:36:44.200 amazing as it always is with our friend ilan uh as my hometown's number one mike tyson's punch out

00:36:51.820 player ranked number one i feel the need to comment on the story because this is insane

00:36:57.320 fortnite the game that i guess everybody plays on their phone um had a uh one of these uh tournaments

00:37:04.020 at arthur ash tennis stadium now this is the largest tennis stadium in all of tennis uh it has a

00:37:12.160 capacity of 10 000 more than wimbledon so we're talking 24 000 i've been there it's where they play

00:37:18.160 the finals of the u.s open it's a huge stadium they did a video game tournament there the winner was

00:37:25.160 a 16 year old who won a 3 million dollar grand prize for winning a video game tournament

00:37:32.060 i did not win 3 million dollars for my mike tyson punch out championship second place and this i find

00:37:40.220 almost as amazing as these things go down second place was a 24 year old who won 1.8 million third

00:37:47.220 place won 1.2 million fourth place won 1.05 million fifth place 900 000 every single person by the way

00:37:57.560 the fifth place 900 000 was a 13 year old every person in the tournament won at least 50 000

00:38:05.180 holy crap do i need to start playing more video games i am in the wrong freaking industry 0.65

00:38:13.080 i gotta listen to glenn beck every day i could just be sitting home playing games making this sort

00:38:18.560 of cash that's the path to financial freedom folks i'm the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment

00:38:34.100 this is the glenn beck program there's a fascinating thing in the middle of going on

00:38:39.960 in our culture and in the media and we see it over and over and over again as it goes to

00:38:46.040 the president of the united states donald trump and it's a strange thing because i think conservatives

00:38:52.700 typically are on the right path but maybe don't have it exactly right a lot of times i think of it

00:39:01.820 this way where i see the media say things about donald trump and sometimes look there are things to

00:39:06.780 criticize about trump uh that's totally fine but it is this the level that you go to i think tells

00:39:14.780 a lot about who you are and how hard you're trying to be fair to be truthful to be realistic

00:39:22.820 there are people who defend donald trump over every little thing even when it's clear he's not

00:39:28.140 right and there's people who bash him for every little thing when it when it's clear he is right

00:39:32.200 and there's no reason i mean are we not adults are we not americans are we not men and women that

00:39:39.200 can stand up for what we actually believe and say the truth you're gonna bow to the media or the you

00:39:45.180 know or or the king or whoever it is that's is that who we are because if that's who we are we've

00:39:50.760 given up on what america is supposed to be and i think there's this situation where the media

00:39:56.200 in in particular goes so far to try to come up with these mental gymnastics to figure out a way in

00:40:02.780 which they disagree with donald trump that it becomes incredibly laughable

00:40:08.860 this is not a thing where

00:40:13.980 it is a an understandable disagreement it's not a thing where you could see one side and not the other

00:40:23.460 and i think conservatives a lot of times look at this and say media bias which is there it's

00:40:27.460 blatantly there okay there's always media bias against republicans it's particularly high in the

00:40:33.600 era of donald trump as we become more partisan you know the media gets worse and worse i think

00:40:38.680 but i really think there's a distinction between trump coverage and bush coverage and reagan coverage

00:40:44.280 and all of the rest in that there is surely the bias that exists but there's also a different level

00:40:51.620 of obsession the media is obsessed with this man they are absolutely he dominates their thoughts 24 hours

00:41:00.620 a day no matter what story happens they have to figure out a way to bring it back to donald trump

00:41:07.160 doing something wrong donald trump is involved in the story even when he's not and they'll take

00:41:13.340 completely non-controversial things and make them into controversies just so they can try to fire up

00:41:21.600 i don't know if it's the click machine i'd like to i'd like to think it was capitalist where they were

00:41:26.280 just like i we would need more clicks let's tighten the coverage but i honestly think it's more than that

00:41:30.380 i think they're just completely obsessed there's like a there's almost like a a a clinical

00:41:35.900 illness going on here when it comes to how often they have to bring it back to something that donald trump

00:41:43.340 has done and so with this story about baltimore take the very non-controversial statement that

00:41:51.220 baltimore has some serious freaking problems this is something as of friday we all knew and understood

00:41:58.740 this was not a controversial statement and because donald trump comes out and tweets about it

00:42:05.460 all of a sudden the media in real time remakes baltimore into the happiest place on earth

00:42:14.000 it's basically i mean if it's not downtown disney i don't know what is and again i mean think of the

00:42:23.480 you could mark the argument that baltimore is much better because they have so many more mice than disney

00:42:28.500 does they just got that one big one mickey's heading up the whole operation there at disney

00:42:33.200 they got millions and millions of rats for you in baltimore this is one of those things where

00:42:39.100 you know look baltimore is not it's not a lysium it's not it's not some paradise it's not what it is

00:42:47.700 does baltimore have nice areas sure does does baltimore have a great baseball stadium sure does does

00:42:54.560 baltimore have some great people it sure does but it has massive problems the wire was fiction but not

00:43:01.500 that much fiction it's pretty close one of the reasons why everyone loved the wire and it got

00:43:07.540 such great critical reviews all those years was for its realism there's real corruption in baltimore

00:43:12.280 there's real crime in baltimore there is a lot of trash all over the place in baltimore there are a lot

00:43:18.320 of rats all over in baltimore these are real things now you can say that donald trump is wrong in his

00:43:24.400 criticism that he's criticizing cummings you can say that he is wrong uh for i mean you know

00:43:31.760 an american president criticizing an american city like that you can say you don't like the objects of

00:43:36.140 that that's that's all on the table but to act as if all of a sudden baltimore is this wonderful place

00:43:41.580 where there's no problems and no one can even understand what kind of credit where is this guy

00:43:46.460 coming from this guy's criticizing like it's like 90210 i'm pretty sure that's where that was filmed

00:43:54.000 right in downtown baltimore we like are you kidding me baltimore is basically paradise on earth

00:44:03.820 they will go to that level discredit themselves that much to try to disagree with trump for another news

00:44:14.100 cycle let's get into the facts about what is going on in baltimore from some of the very people who

00:44:21.980 today are going crazy about donald trump's statements about the city we'll do that in 60 seconds

00:44:28.340 this is the glenbeck program man i'm really excited to welcome a brand new sponsor to the show

00:44:37.240 to covis i know how ridiculous a great pair of boots can cost to covis makes great boots

00:44:43.920 and accessories they sell their boots directly to the customer so their boots are half the price

00:44:49.720 of anything that's even similar in quality they're all handmade with a 200 step process

00:45:02.540 no silly stitching or sequins or loud colors or anything else these are just great boots like my

00:45:07.880 grandfather would have worn with to covis there's no need to break them in they arrive

00:45:12.480 already ready to be worn immediately comfortably they're easy to order with tremendous customer

00:45:24.360 and accessories right now to covis.com slash back that's t-e-c-o-v-a-s dot com slash back

00:45:32.740 so we're talking about baltimore it's doing for glenn on the glenbeck program by the way

00:45:50.300 talking about baltimore trump tweets about them tweets about cummings he's called a racist we

00:45:54.920 went through all that last hour if you want to go back and hear a real breakdown as to why that

00:45:59.300 criticism is ridiculous i encourage you to look at the podcast today get that wherever podcasts are

00:46:04.320 sold for free so baltimore is known to have a few problems has a few issues

00:46:13.020 now baltimore if you if you follow baseball at all you know the orioles are absolutely horrible this 1.00

00:46:19.480 year but they have gone three for three their last three mayors have all resigned in disgrace

00:46:25.300 so that's pretty good i mean if you can go three for three in that category what a wonderful

00:46:30.240 achievement the bbc had a report about poverty in america where they talked about 25 percent

00:46:37.820 of representative cummings district lives in poverty a full quarter live in poverty baltimore city schools

00:46:47.140 rank among the lowest in the state of maryland in 2015 what the washington post reported that the

00:46:53.560 average life expectancy in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods is nearly 20 years below the

00:46:59.340 national average they say 14 baltimore neighborhoods have lower life expectancies than north korea

00:47:07.700 eight are doing worse than syria again what do you think the washington post is saying about this

00:47:16.680 issue today according to that deep right-wing hardcore conservative think tank known as orkin pest control

00:47:28.060 baltimore is one of the most rat infested cities in america

00:47:33.760 orkin ranks baltimore number six on the list and all of the top 10 most rat infested cities

00:47:43.580 are controlled by democrats the baltimore sun has been very critical of trump's comments

00:47:50.620 lighting them up in in multiple op-eds in april they had a different story about what their city

00:47:58.320 was dealing with is it a filthy mess as trump claims they say food containers balled up clothes

00:48:05.820 paper banana peels plastic bags and tons of other pieces of litter line the shoulders of roads

00:48:13.400 pile up in alleys and are strewn across fields and yards not only is it unsightly and contributes to

00:48:21.280 a rodent problem but it can create a glum and gloomy feel i wouldn't say it goes right into the

00:48:30.160 tourist board advertisement but i think it's backing up what the president says and what as of friday

00:48:35.800 everyone in america knew about baltimore it's got its problems baltimore is deadlier than chicago and

00:48:43.600 detroit it has the highest homicide rate in the united states

00:48:50.360 now when it comes to violent crime it is it's only seventh so it's not doing as well there

00:48:58.080 the homicide rate has been over 300 a year from 2015 to 2018 in 2017 it became the homicide capital of

00:49:08.620 the united states 56 murders per 100 000 people that is high it makes it 20 the 21st highest city

00:49:15.920 in the world it is below juarez mexico that is what we're talking about when it comes to competition

00:49:25.220 juarez

00:49:26.560 rats are so bad in the city that pbs aired a documentary

00:49:37.800 called rat film the name of the documentary is rat film

00:49:48.220 what do you want to talk about when you're talking making your documentary about uh baltimore

00:49:55.480 i want to talk about the rats let's call it rat film

00:49:59.580 the baltimore sun again covered something called the perpetual trash problem

00:50:11.020 this is not new everyone in the media knows this is going on

00:50:17.800 and it's not just people in the media it's the politicians who deal with baltimore on a regular

00:50:25.760 basis let's take a trip back uh down memory lane a little bit 2018 uh the baltimore mayor uh

00:50:33.760 katherine pugh who by the way resigned in disgrace she had a little bit of a an issue when she was 0.99

00:50:42.100 touring baltimore and had some comments that i don't think uh would disagree with donald trump's

00:50:52.060 analysis of baltimore listen about a year ago city leaders identified some of the city's most

00:50:58.520 violent neighborhoods what the hell we should just take all this down to target who you can smell the 0.52

00:51:04.620 rats under baltimore's violence reduction initiative oh jesus just last week we went

00:51:09.620 with mayor pew she toured in east baltimore neighborhood this is a new one i've been

00:51:14.000 out in 54 years this is a new one baltimore's violence reduction initiative is about taking

00:51:19.220 steps to rid communities of the cornerstones that contribute to crime oh my god you can smell

00:51:25.120 the dead animals blocks of dilapidated buildings help to hide the addiction that's crippled this

00:51:30.460 community now i don't know maybe it was a barbecue going on you spelled the dead animals maybe it

00:51:35.020 was someone was cooking up some some cheeseburgers but my guess is it was dead rats

00:51:39.720 that's the mayor of baltimore saying we should just tear all of this down i can smell all the dead rats

00:51:47.660 this is not something that's controversial

00:51:53.480 this is this is not something that everyone did everybody as of thursday and friday of last week

00:52:03.120 admitted this was true everybody knew it including someone you'll see on the debate stage this week

00:52:10.620 bernie sanders now sanders today is out there saying the president is super duper racist for saying bad

00:52:16.760 things about baltimore i don't know how saying bad things about baltimore is racist i think it's

00:52:23.120 because black people might live there this is going to really become you know uh now again bernie's 0.87

00:52:31.340 from vermont so maybe he's never lived in a place where other people that are black live but they live

00:52:36.860 all over you can't criticize black people by criticizing a city because black people live in every city

00:52:41.960 that's i know this is controversial bernie it's okay african americans live all over the place now

00:52:49.420 i know it wasn't like that in 1793 when you first got into congress but it's different now

00:52:55.780 here's bernie sanders on baltimore in 2015 but anyone who took the walk that we talk we took

00:53:04.160 around this neighborhood would not think you're in a wealthy nation you would think that you were in

00:53:10.020 a third world country but today what we're talking about is a community in which half of the people

00:53:16.960 don't have jobs we're talking about a community in which there are hundreds of buildings that are

00:53:25.040 uninhabitable we're talking about a community where kids are unable to go to schools that are decent

00:53:31.220 that's bernie sanders first of all it's always i always love those moments where someone says

00:53:36.820 something really bad and people clap we're talking about a community with half the people not having

00:53:40.800 jobs yeah yep that's what we're talking about yeah that means half of them do uh bernie talking about

00:53:49.680 the world as a third baltimore is a third world country not controversial then despite the fact

00:53:54.560 that they've had decades of local democratic leadership they were having a democratic mayor a democratic

00:54:02.140 representative and of course at that point a democratic president of the united states

00:54:07.500 late in his second term who apparently did very little to turn that around we've seen now historic

00:54:14.940 lows in african-american unemployment but that's not important right now this goes on i mean it's been

00:54:23.080 going on for a very long time go back to 1989 this is uh maryland i think state senator mike

00:54:29.160 miller in 1989 listen it helps educate my constituents as to why baltimore needs the

00:54:35.900 economic help i mean baltimore is a it's worse than in inner city washington dc it is

00:54:42.140 um i hope you don't have to play this on tape i mean it is a it is a war zone i mean it's crack i

00:54:50.480 mean it's you know these dime bags of pcp i mean you've got we've got they've got one quarter of every

00:54:55.520 kid who's not in school each day 50 of the kids who start off in school don't graduate so looking

00:55:01.560 at things from a statewide perspective we really have to do things to help that's not controversial

00:55:06.640 that's just being honest there's massive problems going on in a lot of these major cities baltimore

00:55:12.240 is not immune it's just been one of the worst performers and look the reason donald trump is

00:55:17.960 criticizing cummings and baltimore has little to do with how crappy baltimore is

00:55:22.780 you if it was a if he had a fight with a guy in chicago he'd say it about chicago

00:55:27.280 this is what donald trump does he insults people who disagree with him but he's right on the analysis

00:55:32.240 here everybody knows it baltimore has had massive problems that have piled up on top of each other

00:55:40.760 because they keep electing the same people over and over and over and over again and it will not

00:55:47.560 change unless they do something different

00:55:50.740 but now we're supposed to sit back and all pretend as if this isn't the reality

00:55:59.120 i'm not gonna do it i don't think you're gonna do it and i expect more or at least i require more i

00:56:05.280 don't know that i expect more but i require more out of the media i require more out of people who

00:56:10.500 claim to be journalists than to fall into this nonsense every 10 seconds every time there's another

00:56:17.360 freaking tweet out there we have to go through the same exercise it is embarrassing back in 60 seconds

00:56:23.860 wi-fi is spelled w-i-f-i unfortunately for many people it also spells tmi as in too much information

00:56:37.300 because wi-fi whether public or right in your own home even if it's password protected isn't always

00:56:44.900 private cyber criminals can use wi-fi to steal information that you send and receive while

00:56:50.420 online whether that's credit card numbers account login information or your social security number

00:56:55.960 to help put a stop to tmi on wi-fi you need norton secure vpn norton secure a virtual private network

00:57:05.420 norton secure vpn starts at 333 a month with an annual subscription so go to norton.com

00:57:10.820 slash vpn that's norton.com slash vpn don't let wi-fi public or in your home mean tmi get norton secure

00:57:19.940 vpn asap protection starts at less than four bucks a month terms do apply norton.com slash vpn

00:57:28.420 stew in for glenn back here in the glenn back program 888-727-BECK is the phone number uh mick

00:57:49.560 mulvaney chief of staff uh on uh television this weekend talking about these comments here's what

00:57:54.420 he said well you know though that this is a majority black district and when the president

00:57:59.040 calls it rat infested he says no human being would live there do you understand that that is offensive

00:58:05.060 to the americans who do live there i understand that everything that donald trump says is offensive

00:58:09.740 to some people keep in mind uh about two weeks ago the president said things that were critical of

00:58:14.920 aoc and her squad and was immediately accused of being a racist a couple days later nancy pelosi said 1.00

00:58:20.900 some things critical of that same group of people and she was defended by the media and by folks on

00:58:25.320 the left for not being racist when donald no human being would want to live there when donald trump

00:58:30.580 attacks this is being perceived as racist do you understand why i understand why but that doesn't

00:58:35.960 mean that it's racist i don't the president is pushing back against what he sees is wrong it's how

00:58:40.240 he's done in the past and he'll continue to do in the future so you think this is just hyperbolic

00:58:44.120 i absolutely do and i hope the folks actually pay attention to it and realize what democrats in congress

00:58:49.220 are doing instead of helping people back home they're focusing on scandal in washington dc which

00:58:53.860 is the exact opposite of what they said they would do when they ran for election in 2018 i mean look

00:58:58.540 they know which video donald trump was referring to in fact they've we'll go over that here in just a

00:59:02.920 minute uh the places featured in the video no human being would want to live in you know a lot of people

00:59:10.720 live in places they don't want to live in that's not it's not a surprise it doesn't mean no one

00:59:14.740 will live in any place in baltimore even any place in this district they all know what video he was

00:59:19.820 referring to and it's it's a video that features some of the worst places in baltimore it's talking

00:59:25.680 about the problem with the trash with uh the crime with the corruption with the burned out buildings

00:59:32.880 all the bad things about baltimore it wasn't featuring the nice upscale neighborhoods obviously

00:59:37.440 but everyone in the media knows this and they act as if they don't they act as if oh well he means

00:59:44.040 everybody in baltimore shouldn't live in baltimore it is just ridiculous uh we'll get into the details

00:59:50.820 on this and what what is happening in the world of journalism where they've really just given up

00:59:56.520 they've given up even trying to be fair here and it does everybody a disservice

01:00:01.680 you're listening to glenn beck it's stewing for glenn on the glenn beck program he's on vacation this

01:00:12.800 week uh you can follow me on twitter at world of stew tonight on television i'll be filling in as

01:00:17.620 well if you're a member of uh the blaze go to blaze tv.com uh use the promo code glenn and you can

01:00:24.480 get 10 off uh we're going to be doing an update on the fabulous love life of ilan omar apparently she

01:00:34.260 may be getting a divorce from her husband who she already divorced before and then lived with 1.00

01:00:41.080 while they were divorced and she was married to some to someone who many speculate might be her

01:00:47.280 brother it's not confusing at all uh we'll get into it today you can watch by the way glenn's special

01:00:53.540 from last week on youtube right now if you want to see kind of the background of the story it is

01:00:58.700 fascinating and uh it's you know certainly i don't care about ilan omar's love life but there are a lot of

01:01:03.800 actual legal and uh legal complications associated with this and there's the idea that maybe she

01:01:10.220 should have to answer for the potential crimes that she has committed uh she's she's answered for a 1.00

01:01:17.360 couple of them and admitted a couple of them and and paid some penance for that in the form of fines

01:01:22.420 and other things but there's a lot more to this story and we're going to get into it more tonight

01:01:26.320 on tv blaze tv.com slash glenn and the promo code is glenn i want to get into brian stelter's commentary

01:01:34.520 from this weekend now brian is a media uh a media critic basically he's like the journalist of

01:01:41.760 journalists and he goes on you know cnn and talks about how sound journalistic practices are

01:01:50.420 it's his job and he has really been leading the charge i would say on the idea that journalists

01:01:57.300 kind of aren't really journalists newspapers are not doing their duty if they don't just come out

01:02:03.460 and say donald trump's racist tweets without qualifiers if you say alleged racism it's just

01:02:09.480 not good enough for brian and i find it to be really fascinating particularly in this case i mean if you go

01:02:16.400 back to ilan omar for example uh you can say all right well there's the send send them back thing

01:02:24.520 and some of the people who you know they were born here and you know maybe you could try you know you're

01:02:29.640 again you're guessing at his intent right i mean you're still guessing as intent to call him a racist

01:02:33.800 but at least you can try to put something together well this baltimore story man i mean he's just saying

01:02:38.440 baltimore has problems and cummings is responsible the fact that some people who live in baltimore

01:02:44.220 happened to be black and that cummings himself happens to be black is not even part of the

01:02:50.100 criticism it's not even alluded to it's just saying that there are major problems in a major city we all

01:02:54.880 know that there are major problems in baltimore well brian selter wants you to know there are six

01:02:59.860 things going on with this baltimore story and i there probably are six things but i don't think it's

01:03:07.560 this six things here's uh brian selter on cnn this weekend there are six things going on at the same

01:03:13.580 time i want to tell you all six all six number one the tweets are part of a pattern of racism

01:03:18.440 displayed by trump for several decades number two the tweets are factually inaccurate in several ways

01:03:24.560 number three they are the result of trump getting distorted information from his friends at fox news

01:03:31.380 those friends are actually doing him a disservice oh no number four the tweets are a petty response to

01:03:36.980 democratic oversight of trump by democrats like cummings what's number five number five they are a

01:03:42.040 distraction distraction from other important issues right maybe trump distracts on purpose

01:03:46.700 maybe he doesn't do it on purpose either way they're a distraction but number six number six

01:03:52.580 racist and ridiculous stereotyping of a part of the country is damaging to the country as a whole

01:03:58.840 and that must be covered and it must be covered that way even if it's distracting once again every day

01:04:06.020 trump posing challenges for the press i think what media outlets should not do is just put trump's

01:04:12.700 hateful rants in the headline and then move on that's just stenography instead i think we should

01:04:18.560 start somewhere else we should start with what is true and that's the he really outlines his theory

01:04:26.180 pretty well there right the theory is you can't just do the news if you do the news and you just say

01:04:34.420 what donald trump said and if you want to say he's wrong on this point he's right on this point you can

01:04:38.300 do it that's not enough that's stenography you're just copying and pasting basically what you need to

01:04:44.160 do instead is form the opinion fully that donald trump is a racist and just say it as if donald trump

01:04:54.640 said it himself if donald trump is carrying around a card that says you know he's a member of the kkk

01:05:01.140 which would be difficult you'd probably have to change parties before doing it but i think they'd

01:05:04.300 let him in as a democrat if he did that then you could maybe say the guy is racist but here you're

01:05:10.740 really just guessing i mean there's at no point does he even reference race in any of the tweets

01:05:15.300 you're assuming the reason why he thinks things are bad in baltimore which we all know is true

01:05:21.560 that the reason he believes that is because he thinks black people are responsible not one

01:05:31.420 individual african-american representative cummings who he is putting a lot of the blame on

01:05:36.840 but all black people because of their the color of their skin this is absurd it's certainly not 1.00

01:05:43.580 something that you can write down as a journalist and feel comfortable with you are assuming the man's

01:05:48.860 intent even if you believe it to be true you should absolutely have qualifiers on it and you

01:05:55.160 and as a journalist you probably shouldn't write it at all if you're an opinion person that's another

01:05:58.380 story so what i find really fascinating here is there's two parts of this and they are trying

01:06:05.860 to have it both ways in several instances this is it's it's kind of interesting here let me give you

01:06:14.520 brian outlining point number one here he's talking about uh the baltimore district which representative

01:06:21.940 cunning cummings represents and as he will tell you trump just doesn't know the facts about it listen

01:06:28.940 let's start with the map of the actual seventh district now i'm a marylander so i used to live

01:06:33.640 nearby went up to school here in towson so this is the district uh that cummings represents it includes

01:06:39.740 farmlands in baltimore and howard county it covers the johns hopkins university campus in baltimore

01:06:45.960 it covers a lot of baltimore actually it includes beautiful neighborhoods throughout the city it also

01:06:51.880 includes suburban areas like ellicott city and columbia it also includes parts of baltimore city that are

01:06:58.720 struggling and have been struggling for a long time baltimore city is complicated some parts are well

01:07:03.920 off some parts are struggling there are pockets that feel absolutely abandoned once you've seen

01:07:09.740 all of the seventh district then it's time to report on what trump said he said on twitter on saturday no

01:07:16.420 human being would want to live here in this rodent infested mess he called the district disgusting

01:07:22.940 and said that maybe cummings should spend more time in that filthy place he's saying go back to where you

01:07:29.420 live even though cummings sleeps there all the time once you've addressed the tweets the big questions

01:07:35.680 for newsrooms are where did this come from who's telling trump this stuff how did he get this distorted

01:07:41.900 impression of the seventh district okay we'll get there in a second so the idea here is that trump is

01:07:47.680 an idiot he's uninformed on this story he's blabbing about the seventh district he doesn't know anything 0.97

01:07:51.860 about it doesn't he realize that this district is not just these rundown areas it's also uh these farms

01:07:57.460 and white people live there doesn't even realize that these are upscale neighborhoods there's nice

01:08:01.520 universities there's beautiful areas all over baltimore this guy thinks it's all trash no human

01:08:05.460 being would want to live there of course the problem with this analysis is if your point is that he's

01:08:13.400 that it's it's diverse it's upscale there are white people who live there apparently doesn't that hurt

01:08:22.440 your claim that he's talking about race if the if the area that we're talking about has all these

01:08:28.900 diverse uh populations then doesn't that kind of hurt your argument now you might say well i mean you

01:08:37.020 know he is right though stelter's right and that there are diverse things going on in this particular

01:08:44.140 area well yes that's true and you know does anyone think that donald trump thinks that no human being

01:08:50.420 would want to live in a nice suburb does anybody believe that did anybody who actually is trying

01:08:56.100 to think about this honestly think donald trump was talking about the nice suburbs do you think so

01:09:02.320 he tends to build golf courses in nice suburbs why on earth would he think no human being wants to live

01:09:11.500 in a nice suburb i mean he's saying no one would want to live here he's not specific though i guess he

01:09:23.640 calls out the district but he says no one would want to live here well i mean maybe he was talking

01:09:30.420 about a specific place inside the district maybe he was referring to a specific video that only outlined

01:09:38.960 the negative parts the parts with problems because that's what the video was about now you could

01:09:44.540 excuse brian stelter for not knowing that he was talking about a very specific video with the only

01:09:51.620 problem with that is brian stelter's about to tell you he was talking about a specific video brian stelter

01:09:58.720 is about to outline specifically the video that donald trump saw and was tweeting about he knows which one it

01:10:06.600 was because he's about to criticize him for watching it listen this is what was on fox and friends in

01:10:13.180 the 6 a.m hour on saturday there was this clip of cummings questioning the homeland security secretary

01:10:18.480 about conditions at the border then fox brought in a guest named kimberly clackick who went to

01:10:25.060 impoverished parts of west baltimore and made videos of trashed lots and ruined row homes fox called her a

01:10:32.040 republican strategist they've called her that for more than a year now but there is no evidence that

01:10:36.760 she's ever been employed by a campaign that's interesting she did run for a local county gop

01:10:40.760 position and lost last year so they call her republican strategist maybe because she wrote right-wing 0.98

01:10:45.580 blog posts for this website for a while then she started getting booked on tv again and again again as a

01:10:51.180 so-called strategist on the hill and on fox and other shows her linkedin profile pointedly says she's a 0.81

01:10:56.900 commentator quote not under contract which means she's going on fox for free so earlier this month

01:11:02.600 she decided to take on cummings by making web videos about baltimore's rundown neighborhoods but i tell you

01:11:07.960 all this to explain here is where the president is getting his information clackick was booked on fox

01:11:12.620 again on saturday the president was watching and then an hour later he tweeted

01:11:16.620 so of course as you hear stelter knows he's actually tweeting about the rundown areas right no one would

01:11:27.120 want to live there in a burned out row home in a row in a row home with rat rodents running around in

01:11:33.840 it and trash filling it well no no one would want to live there no human being would want to live there

01:11:37.960 we all know human beings like to live in the nice suburbs again this is intentionally

01:11:43.600 he's intentionally showing that he's trying to avoid what is real and that is what the biggest

01:11:50.900 problem i have with the media here i will say here he points out for some reason over and over again

01:11:55.820 that he that she was not a strategist and she was not paid um i guess that's kind of true i i don't know

01:12:03.560 i don't know her or no you know much about her i will say that uh it was interesting that in tim alberta's

01:12:09.400 new book uh very clearly says that cnn contributor anna navarro never worked for an actual republican

01:12:16.740 campaign at least that anyone this is a quote anna navarro of cnn a republican strategist

01:12:22.800 who had strategized on behalf of no campaign that anyone could recall so it's an interesting

01:12:29.600 criticism coming from cnn there but you know the criticism of trump is that he's just tweeting

01:12:35.380 whatever fox news says now what's interesting here is that you know media matters uh has an actual

01:12:40.920 employee whose job it is whenever donald trump tweets to figure out if they can see if fox news

01:12:47.840 ran a segment about that thing at a specific time so they could tie them together that's a job in america

01:12:54.440 and i guess trump gets credit for it creating new jobs

01:12:57.940 but again if the idea is that donald trump is a racist and is just looking at fox news and just

01:13:07.320 parroting whatever is on fox news you can say all those things one issue you're going to have with

01:13:14.540 that in this particular case is the person who said it on fox news is black so you have an african

01:13:21.540 american commentator who is criticizing the way baltimore has been handled over the past few years

01:13:27.720 makes a statement and i guess donald trump turns off the racism to understand what she says

01:13:32.960 and then parrots it on twitter and when they turns the racism back on

01:13:38.260 the mental gymnastics you'd have to have to actually believe this nonsense

01:13:45.700 is it's beyond anything you've seen in the olympics and i think the truth is that i don't think he i don't

01:13:52.980 think brian actually does believe that i don't think he does i mean it's just this constant thirst

01:14:00.300 to find anything you can be critical of i mean there is plenty to be critical of of donald trump

01:14:06.480 if you want to find real things but to go to these lengths to criticize him of first not understanding

01:14:14.300 the district which disproves your point on racism not proves it and then says he's quoting anything fox

01:14:19.420 news quotes says including from an african-american commentator in which he'd have to turn off his

01:14:25.580 racism to accept and then turn it back on to tweet i mean there's just not a sensible line of thought

01:14:32.800 that runs through this analysis and this is all over the media it's not just him we have to find a way

01:14:38.960 to go back to actually calling balls and strikes don't praise donald trump at every freaking turn no

01:14:43.620 matter what he does don't bash him at every turn no matter what he does there is a point of

01:14:49.280 individual personal analysis and we need to find it again it's stew in for glenn beck on the glenn

01:14:55.760 beck program uh we all know me too allegations usually end careers but not if you're if you could

01:15:00.940 be an advocate for global warming just enough you can usually get by them neil degrasse tyson who has

01:15:05.860 had multiple accusations against him is going to be okay you can all breathe a sigh of relief he was

01:15:11.460 accused in one instance and i just love i'd love this just because this game his game is so weird

01:15:16.920 he says he was examining a tattoo of a woman uh who had a tattoo of the solar system which stretches

01:15:23.200 along her arm to her collarbone and she said he followed the tattoo with his hand putting it into

01:15:28.500 her dress he said he was looking for pluto this is the nerdiest sexual assault in history and when asked

01:15:35.600 about it he said while i don't explicitly remember searching for pluto at the top of her shoulder it is

01:15:40.380 surely something i would have done in the situation as we all know i have professional history with the

01:15:45.340 demotion of pluto which had occurred officially just three years earlier so whether people included or

01:15:51.100 not in their tattoos is of great interest to me and this guy's walking away scot-free

01:15:56.000 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program hey it's stew in for glen

01:17:07.500 stuff so thank you so much for uh becoming a member at blaze tv.com we uh we have an interesting

01:17:15.160 development and this is one that's been many years in the making there was a time and i'm

01:17:21.340 going to bring you back in history to a time in which one of the two parties claimed to care

01:17:28.520 about the budget now this i know it feels weird it feels like i'm bringing you back to a time where

01:17:35.700 people had like members only jackets on and maybe people were you know at sock hops at their local

01:17:41.160 high school no it's much more recent than that uh it was like 2010 and it was a big topic of

01:17:47.300 conversation i remember doing shows about it many times uh glenn's written books about it uh there is a

01:17:53.340 a real problem with the way we spend money we do not have a revenue problem in this country there's

01:18:00.220 plenty of money the question is what do we spend it on and how much of it is just basically being

01:18:06.600 borrowed slash printed the tea party came along in 2010 and had the biggest wave election in history

01:18:13.120 or at least about 100 years um largely based on those sort of principles smaller government

01:18:18.740 constitutional values uh smaller uh levels of of spending smaller levels of debt and somewhere in

01:18:29.060 there from somewhere between then and now we lost our caring about these topics we've lost our ability

01:18:40.560 to manufacture a give a damn you remember that whole thing we used to care about these things and we don't 0.73

01:18:47.000 anymore and they're not going away they are getting worse and much much more frightening because these are

01:18:57.660 the numbers we're seeing now are worse than anything we saw during the obama administration when it

01:19:03.760 comes to debt and spending and now there's no party to push back on it both sides are just kind of

01:19:10.100 accepting it these parties these numbers are much much bigger and to make matters worse we're doing this

01:19:15.420 in the middle of a really good economy these are debt numbers we haven't seen unless you're talking

01:19:21.500 about like great recession type numbers this is stuff that we're seeing on on on levels that are that

01:19:28.460 have to terrify if you look at them and that's one of the reasons why we try to do as little looking at

01:19:33.840 them as possible uh but i can't help that i mean i i do think it's an important thing i thought it was

01:19:39.720 important uh in 2010 when the tea party thing was going on i thought it was important when we launched

01:19:44.860 this show back in 1998 i thought it was important before then the entire time you know this has been

01:19:54.020 a problem that's been escalating it's not going the other way around it's not getting better we just

01:19:59.480 talk about it a lot less and that's kind of a problem we just signed a massive budget deal

01:20:06.300 but what does it mean is it really as bad is it is it really as bad as i'm making it out to be

01:20:13.280 because i don't want to sound all global warming on you i don't want to be i don't want to give you

01:20:17.240 the uh you know the the sky is falling by in in 18 months and we're all going to die

01:20:22.140 i mean there's a way of looking at this and being very concerned but seeing the real underlying issue

01:20:28.900 and i think we can do that and we're going to at least attempt it if i don't get too scared

01:20:33.320 with brian riedel from the manhattan institute he's going to be here in 60 seconds

01:21:42.480 brian riedel is a senior fellow at the manhattan institute and he joins us now i wrote a story for

01:21:57.400 national review new budget deal puts the final nail in the tea party coffin which made me have a

01:22:02.460 wonderful day the day i read it thanks for the optimism i appreciate that brian um but you're

01:22:07.640 completely right right we've completely given up as as a i guess as a conservative movement we

01:22:13.660 just seem to no longer care about debt or deficit that's the conventional wisdom in washington you

01:22:19.620 know i'm i've i've lived in washington 18 years forgive me um and i i've worked in the senate for

01:22:26.260 six years recently and so i i i talked to a lot of lawmakers and i know them very well and the

01:22:32.500 conventional wisdom in washington is that you the voters the conservative no longer care about spending

01:22:38.420 and deficits and so why should they say why should we put up with the angry media and the the angry

01:22:45.780 liberals when conservatives don't really care and as evidence that conservatives don't care a lot of

01:22:52.620 them generally fight frankly the election of donald trump uh he president trump called himself the king

01:22:58.400 of debt he said he will not touch social security and medicare and in doing so he defeated people

01:23:06.240 like ted cruz who ran on issues like less spending so the lesson that was taken by lawmakers is all right

01:23:13.360 if you guys don't care about if you voters don't really care about spending and deficits then we

01:23:18.280 don't either and i i think that is i think they're reading that generally accurately i mean i think

01:23:25.160 maybe people are more focused on you know whatever cultural issue is going on and and this is a big

01:23:30.960 problem and it never seems like to get you know all the effort we put into it during the tea party

01:23:35.000 era did we get anything out of it i mean you can kind of understand how people get there

01:23:40.100 yeah well what the challenge is a lot of the tea party movement and this uh was was focused

01:23:47.140 a lot on the stimulus and and the wall street bailouts and to and to then later obamacare

01:23:53.580 the issue was eventually uh much but not all of the stimulus expired uh and the wall street bailouts

01:24:02.720 were mostly paid back so what happened is what was left was the real underlying driver of 30 of the 30

01:24:10.540 year deficits which is social security and medicare if you look at the the numbers for the next 30 years

01:24:16.060 this is amazing the congressional budget office focus uh forecast 80 trillion dollars in new

01:24:22.060 deficits over the next 30 years they say that social security and medicare will run 103 trillion

01:24:29.500 dollar shortfall and the rest of the budget will run a 23 trillion dollar surplus that's how they get

01:24:35.500 to 80 trillion that is an amazing statistic 103 trillion dollars in deficits for medicare and

01:24:42.140 social security but the rest of the budget and i feel like this is not actually realistically how

01:24:47.720 these things play out is a 23 uh trillion dollar surplus to get to still 80 trillion dollars in new

01:24:54.480 debt in the next 30 years that's amazing exactly exactly and the issue i think what a lot of people in

01:24:59.400 washington will say is okay once we got past the stimulus and and and the wall street bailouts

01:25:05.500 that addressing the deficit means addressing social security and medicare and they've concluded

01:25:11.860 that republican voters do not want to reform social security and medicare therefore there's nothing left

01:25:18.920 to do but spend i mean that is i mean it's again i can understand how they get there uh but that is an

01:25:25.700 it's an amazing thing to essentially admit let's before we get back and i want to go over some of

01:25:31.040 the tea party stuff and and how we kind of got here but can you guys walk us through the latest budget

01:25:37.140 deal is it i mean is it something where we've completely abandoned all responsibility or is it

01:25:43.720 worse than that we've abandoned all responsibility you know that the crown jewel of the tea party was the

01:25:50.600 2011 budget control act this lowered discretionary spending by 2.1 trillion dollars over 10 years

01:25:58.740 well pretty much as soon as the ink was dry they started weakening it uh republicans wanted more defense

01:26:06.220 spending democrats wanted more non-defense spending so they just kept raising the cap each each two years

01:26:12.220 they would raise the caps more and more since 2014 they raised the caps by 770 billion

01:26:20.220 dollars and this time around they essentially just repealed the caps and went back to what

01:26:25.580 discretionary spending would have been had there never even been a budget control act so when you

01:26:30.540 think back to 2011 all that work all the grand negotiations to talk about defaulting on the debt limit

01:26:37.260 with president obama they they did they worked did all that work to get the budget control act

01:26:42.460 caps and then they just ignored it in terms of the cost moving forward here's what's really scary

01:26:47.580 they're raising the caps by about 160 billion per year for two years but the way it's scored that's

01:26:56.060 going to permanently raise the baseline which means in two years they're going to start from that higher

01:27:02.240 level right and therefore according to the congressional budget office this is going to cost about 1.7

01:27:09.020 trillion dollars over the next 10 years because they're just going to keep starting from the higher

01:27:14.440 spending level every year going forward so when you say how bad is this it's that bad that's really

01:27:20.340 because every every dollar you spend is really ten dollars because it's there there's no way anyone

01:27:26.380 ever goes down from where they are it's always an increase off of the most recent year so each dollar

01:27:32.880 you spend is another ten dollars over a decade and that adds up really fast that's exactly it in two

01:27:39.340 years and that's why that's why one of the reasons we got this level is they raised the caps a couple

01:27:44.240 years ago and then when they got to now said well we're not going to go back down now we raised the

01:27:49.200 caps a couple years ago we're going to keep the we're going to keep raising them and so you're it's

01:27:53.600 exactly it so this is going to be 1.7 trillion dollars over 10 years because they're they're going

01:27:59.820 to they're going to use the new higher level as their starting point next time around

01:28:04.120 now when it comes to uh spending this new money at least some of this in theory you're getting

01:28:09.340 something for we're getting to a point now where the higher and higher percentage of the budget is

01:28:14.660 just us paying interest on money we've already previously borrowed um what is the how big how much

01:28:22.060 of the budget is uh is just interest at this point and how big does that get going forward

01:28:27.000 this is scary um right now it doesn't look bad right now about uh 10 of the budget is interest

01:28:36.340 on the debt which doesn't look that bad it's projected uh to triple in in in nominal dollar

01:28:43.520 terms over the next decade and as a percent of the budget more than double to about 20 percent of

01:28:48.760 to about 20 percent and then over the next couple decades get to about 30 percent here's what's scary

01:28:54.740 though all of these all of these numbers i just mentioned assume interest rates stay at record

01:29:01.820 lows and the scary thing is every point that interest rates go up will cost 13 trillion dollars

01:29:10.120 over the next 30 years god or one and a half trillion over the next decade every point so if

01:29:16.880 interest rates go up let's say they return to 1990s levels which we don't think of as being a

01:29:23.000 particularly high interest rate era right if interest rates return to 1990s levels you add

01:29:29.260 four trillion dollars over the decade and 40 trillion over three decades because the debt is so big

01:29:37.280 that even small movements and interest rates will bury us so the numbers are bad as it is in fact

01:29:44.840 even with low interest rates interest becomes the biggest part of the budget within three decades

01:29:50.360 and that's with record low interest rates if they if interest rates rise we get buried

01:29:56.040 um you write in a national review uh this i thought this was amazing because you know you talk about

01:30:01.500 how people don't care about these cuts and they don't actually want them i mean listen to the listen

01:30:06.140 this is amazing a reference by a conservative house republicans in 2017 and 2018 to trim the growth

01:30:11.400 rate of entitlement spending from 5.9 percent all the way to 5.8 percent so again we're not talking

01:30:18.600 about actually cutting anything we're cutting the increase from 5.9 to 5.8 that was rejected and a

01:30:25.660 a bill that was going to reduce unnecessary spending by 0.002 percent of the budget not 2 percent not 0.2

01:30:35.420 not 0.02 but 0.002 percent of the budget even that was said to be uh there's just nothing left in the

01:30:43.600 cupboard we can't cut anything i mean these are these are not exactly uh this is not austerity

01:30:49.440 we're talking about here these are very minor minor changes and i mean it really does enforce that

01:30:55.560 there is it feels completely hopeless brian yeah i mean you know i start to wonder what exactly do

01:31:02.360 republicans come to washington to do i mean if you can't even cut the growth rate of government from

01:31:07.700 one-tenth of one percent not cut spending but just have it grow one-tenth of one percent at a slower

01:31:13.700 annual rate why are you even here and and and let me tell you how that relates to this bill uh i did

01:31:20.420 some math and i and i have been blasting this out to my friends in the house and senate for the last

01:31:25.100 couple days we could pay for at least the first two years of these caps not the 1.7 trillion over

01:31:31.860 the decade but the short term 320 billion we could pay for that by just cutting the growth rate of

01:31:40.300 entitlements again by one-tenth of one percent basically you know like i said from 5.9 to 5.8

01:31:46.580 that would actually pay for this bill members of congress the republican party will not even cut

01:31:54.220 the growth rate of entitlements from 5.9 to 5.8 percent in order to pay for the first two years of

01:32:00.740 this bill they will not even do that it's incredible all right i want to ask you about uh

01:32:06.000 i want to ask you about your perspective on what the tea party actually was in just a second because

01:32:11.300 i think trying to figure out i've struggled with this over the years and i keep bouncing back and

01:32:15.980 forth as to whether it was a real movement or whether it was just sort of a movement of convenience at

01:32:20.480 that time we're gonna take a 60 second break and back with more uh terrifying horror movie uh about

01:32:25.980 the budget in just 60 seconds warning if you're buried in debt you can't afford do not let the

01:33:32.480 talking to brian riedel of the manhattan institute uh i want to get through a couple

01:33:55.400 quick things here in our couple minutes remaining if we could brian the the tea party do you think

01:34:01.040 and there's kind of a competing analysis here um is it when the these focuses on spending on

01:34:07.100 government growth was it one of those things where you know most people never really meant

01:34:12.380 it as far as you know budget controls but it was the closest weapon around someone broke in

01:34:17.060 they grabbed the lamp because it was the closest thing there it was at the time the thing everyone

01:34:21.260 was talking about it and the tea party used it to try to push back into power or was it one of

01:34:26.920 those things where people really did mean it they did connect with the constitution but they felt like

01:34:30.940 they did everything right they pushed as hard as they could got nothing out of it and have

01:34:35.880 basically just kind of given up well i think i i could say i i was there when the tea party started

01:34:41.320 uh at the time i was running budget policy at the heritage foundation a lot of the tea party uh

01:34:47.080 meetings would would circulate my data i think that it was legitimate concern about debt and deficit

01:34:52.840 because there was such sticker shock about about the deficit rising to 1.4 trillion dollars

01:34:59.500 in 2009 the challenge i think with the tea party is they were there was a lot of concern about the

01:35:06.820 deficit to the extent it was driven by the wall street bailouts the stimulus and obamacare

01:35:12.920 and once we got past some of those policies expired or we weren't able to repeal obamacare

01:35:18.680 and and and and it became that well the actually much more the deficit is is based on policies

01:35:25.080 that we benefit from social security and medicare primarily that's when a lot of the tea partiers 1.00

01:35:31.220 lost interest so i think it was you could say that it was kind of convenient that a lot of tea

01:35:37.000 partiers were concerned about the deficit when it was based on what they considered programs they

01:35:42.720 didn't benefit from but when once you got back to their own benefits it kind of faded away

01:35:48.000 additionally some interest was lost just because the republicans couldn't do that much to cut the

01:35:53.820 deficit with president obama in office right um i mean paul ryan you know people criticize him

01:35:59.600 he did everything he could but as long as president obama was in office you can't repeal obamacare

01:36:05.580 and i think that kind of led to some you know why are we bothering uh views from among tea partiers

01:36:12.060 um one more thing here if we could do how much time do we have left because i i would love to

01:36:17.300 and we're about down to about a minute do you have uh do you have a couple minutes on the other

01:36:20.920 side brian or do you need to do you need to run okay because i i would love to ask you about

01:36:24.380 particularly kamala harris's policy when it comes and for lack of a better term quote-unquote policy 0.95

01:36:32.660 when it comes to her medicare for all proposal where she seems to be saying she wants all the stuff

01:36:39.940 from bernie sanders policy but without any of the middle class tax increases which to my eye seems

01:36:47.260 completely impossible but i'd love to get someone who's a lot smarter than me to talk about that for

01:36:51.880 a second um we'll come back with brian riedel uh riedel on the other side of the other side of the

01:36:56.480 break also i believe we have uh an appearance from jeffy coming up as well which is always a pleasure

01:37:03.920 for no one we'll get back in just a couple of minutes uh 888-727-BECK is the program uh phone

01:37:11.540 number and i want to make sure that we don't leave you on such a depressing note we'll come back and

01:37:17.060 we'll be depressing about the democrats and tell you how much worse they're going to be than what

01:37:21.760 you already have it's all that fun here on the glenn beck program back in a second

01:37:26.960 you're listening to glenn beck it's doing for glenn on the glenn beck program uh this week we've got

01:37:42.200 a couple more debates everyone's really excited about them i'm sure brian riedel is one of them

01:37:47.400 uh he's by the way brian's a great follow on twitter at brian underscore r-i-e-d-l he's from the

01:37:53.580 manhattan institute and if you care about the budget i know a lot of people in this audience

01:37:57.020 really do care uh he's a great follow and you get lots of uh real information about it um and one of

01:38:02.800 the things that i'm fascinated about is this idea of kamala harris who wants to give everyone all the 0.67

01:38:09.800 bells and whistles that people like bernie sanders want to give give you the full socialist palette

01:38:13.420 here but she's not going to raise taxes on like anybody unless they make a billion dollars a year or 1.00

01:38:19.260 more is pretty much how i understand it can you get any sort of rational sense as to what she's

01:38:24.800 claiming to be able to accomplish here and can she pay for this program or even come close to it 0.97

01:38:30.320 kamala harris did something remarkable she got the bernie sanders campaign to see that she's living in

01:38:37.700 economic fantasy land that is wow even the sanders campaign says you've gone off into la la land you've

01:38:46.240 accomplished something special um you know medicare for all would cost in the best case scenario an

01:38:53.200 additional 32 trillion dollars over the decade in a more realistic scenario probably about 40 trillion

01:38:59.200 dollars let's just do the math i mean basically that nearly doubles the size of the entire federal

01:39:03.820 government um because the entire federal government is projected to spend about nearly 50 trillion over

01:39:09.580 the next decade so you're you're nearly doubling the government if you took every democratic tax the rich

01:39:15.760 proposal the wealth tax the 70 tax rates higher capital gains financial taxes higher corporate taxes

01:39:24.280 higher estate taxes they add up to at most three trillion dollars and that's using the left's own numbers

01:39:33.180 that assume that that these policies actually work you know that people keep working and paying the

01:39:38.280 taxes even according to their own math you could not pay for more than one tenth of this program

01:39:45.400 even if you did every single tax the rich plan proposed by every single democratic candidate it is

01:39:52.220 mathematically impossible to do what kamala harris is proposing and this was this is what brings you back

01:39:57.880 to what bernie sanders is saying in a moment of honesty i guess the bottom line is you have to raise taxes

01:40:05.880 massively on the middle class it's not just rich people it's not just executives it's not just financial

01:40:12.040 transactions this is regular people making regular salaries and their taxes are going to go through the roof to

01:40:17.980 pay for this you could confiscate 100 of the income of everyone earning five hundred thousand dollars or more

01:40:25.560 and it wouldn't pay for medicare for all i mean like you could cut a hug i mean and let's assume

01:40:31.400 they all keep working you know like even if like you could you confiscated a hundred percent of their

01:40:35.480 income it still wouldn't pay for this now the sanders people have nothing to brag about because 0.73

01:40:40.280 bernie sanders medicare for all bill um actually has the revenue section as tbd

01:40:46.920 we'll figure out the pay for later there actually is no no pay for section in the sanders medicare for

01:40:52.720 all bill the one that members of congress keep saying we need to pass yeah sanders can't actually

01:40:57.440 come up with the taxes either but at least he admits that you can't increase spending by 32 trillion

01:41:04.560 dollars by taxing the one percent i mean this is this is so comical that it should be laughed at

01:41:13.340 and let me end in the actual padded room here for a moment because medicare for all is just what one

01:41:18.560 tiny slice of the green new deal uh which i don't know what it has to do with being green at all

01:41:24.820 but i mean go beyond this and when you get to the aoc sort of territory i mean this is

01:41:31.740 almost an incalculable cost as to what they're actually proposing well i mean they have a universal

01:41:38.460 basic income for everybody um free income for everyone quote not willing to work they're going

01:41:44.860 to rebuild and retrofit every house and building in america they're going to they're going to take

01:41:50.460 every place airplanes fly and replace it with high-speed rail so imagine every place in america

01:41:56.040 where there's a little bit regional airport we're going to instead spend billions on high-speed rail

01:42:00.500 we're going to replace every car in america that runs on gas i mean i have been scoring bills in

01:42:07.240 washington for 18 years you can't even score this stuff it's incalculable there's not there's no

01:42:13.460 way to even estimate how much would it cost to rebuild and retrofit every house and building in

01:42:19.280 the country i mean essentially what they're saying is we should tear down the entire country and build

01:42:23.860 a new one that is you know in many ways that is exactly what they are saying uh brian riedel i am

01:42:30.920 making i'm starting a movement to get brian riedel as a moderator of a democratic debate i want this to

01:42:35.760 happen this would be entertaining people would tune in for that uh brian real that would be fun i

01:42:41.000 would have to watch it though oh yeah well you wouldn't have to i think they're asleep most of

01:42:44.900 the time anyway uh brian real manhattan institute uh at brian underscore riedel r-i-e-d-l on twitter

01:42:50.360 brian thanks for joining us uh that's a fascinating uh look at how bad the situation is and again like you

01:42:57.460 get to the same point i think most people do as as conservatives or republicans i don't like a lot

01:43:02.360 of the spending stuff republicans do but it's a hell of a lot better than that isn't it

01:43:06.720 i mean it's a hell of a lot better than that jeff fisher from the fabulous podcast uh it's i was

01:43:15.720 gonna say the fisher files that's the old school one that's the old one yes uh it is a chew in the

01:43:19.480 fat with jeff fisher uh joins us now um does this stuff scare you at all oh look they're they just

01:43:25.460 want to spend everybody's money and re remake the country why don't you want that stew yeah i know

01:43:30.020 just tear down the country and build a new one speaking of tearing down the country though can

01:43:33.440 we kind of get by the uh what did trump call uh baltimore the uh hellhole progressive democratic

01:43:38.620 hellhole that it is what's that i forget what he said in his tweets but uh you mentioned the wire

01:43:42.700 uh critically acclaimed on hbo for six or seven years did it paint the picture of a wonderful

01:43:48.820 suburb where everything runs perfectly and there's nice manicured lawns no it did not no it painted a

01:43:54.780 picture of corruption and drug abuse and a city hellhole yeah uh there was a show prior to that

01:44:01.160 uh on television that was critically acclaimed called homicide life on the streets that was based

01:44:06.800 in baltimore uh the same thing and it was also that was both shows were based on a book from a

01:44:12.480 baltimore sun reporter called homicide a year on the killing streets so i mean it's not like a big secret

01:44:20.520 yeah and the baltimore sun is one of the big you know newspapers coming out being critical of trump

01:44:25.480 and saying like you can't criticize us what are you talking about i mean sure we have a couple issues

01:44:29.940 but you shouldn't be talking about it let us talk about it right well you know what he's the president

01:44:33.400 of the united states i think talking about you know a major city and its massive problems does fall

01:44:39.100 under his purview it does and it's been you know look uh elijah cummings has done such a great job

01:44:44.160 in his uh 80 terms as uh as a congressman that you know somebody i can anything be done with it now

01:44:51.940 i don't know i don't know i mean i guess i mean you can't give up i guess no it does feel i mean you

01:44:57.360 know detroit is another thing the democrats are talking about detroit obviously uh this week and

01:45:02.720 you know you look at detroit it has had certain areas have come back fun in in a funny in a hilarious

01:45:10.960 development a big part of the comeback of certain areas of detroit has to do not with giant government

01:45:16.760 programs but rich white executives dumping billions of dollars into a city that they love 0.84

01:45:22.840 that they earn because of capitalism capitalism yeah that's right that's the word yeah i'm sure

01:45:28.820 that'll be covered uh this week it's just agonizing now look some of the things that uh we can talk

01:45:35.220 about today you know i like to do a few headlines that i love the headlines but you don't want to delve

01:45:40.720 into the story right i mean you just want to live with the headline don't don't bog me down with

01:45:45.940 facts no more information you don't need any more than that like the the study that says eating ice

01:45:49.980 cream for breakfast helps improve mental health good i don't want to read anymore i don't want to

01:45:55.160 know anymore i just want to live with that headline right sounds good it's good it's too good to check

01:45:59.920 it is it's just i don't want to know the information sure the background probably says you'll die of

01:46:04.880 something else but your mental health is better yeah and sure the background says something about

01:46:09.180 probably not but don't no just go with the just read the headline and move on headline we also

01:46:14.860 have uh health officials are warning mcdonald's customers to get vaccinated amid hepatitis outbreak

01:46:20.420 in arkansas i don't want to know about it well i don't live in arkansas thankfully no and there's

01:46:25.800 it doesn't have anything to do with mcdonald's and sure mcdonald's customers are firing guns

01:46:30.400 at employees because they got an order of cold fries sure that's happening i don't want to know why i

01:46:35.880 don't want to know where it was pretty understandable on that one though thank you uh thank you okay

01:46:40.840 that's one of those i think everybody can understand what movie was that was it falling

01:46:44.320 down with them yeah uh michael douglas right remember that and i remember that was one of

01:46:48.800 those things where he he came up and wanted to get breakfast and it was like two minutes after the

01:46:52.520 breakfast deadline and he just starts threatening everyone and it was one of those movies that's like

01:46:56.980 that's definitely a crime but i i'm rooting for him everyone i'm rooting for him everyone's for it

01:47:02.420 just like uh we're getting a petition now that i think i'm for i'm almost for this petition that

01:47:06.940 wants to change the date of halloween uh they've got you know almost 100 000 signatures now they want

01:47:12.640 to change it to uh the last saturday in october instead of october 31st i think i could be for that

01:47:20.540 that's interesting i think i could be for that you know they want to obviously the you know the people

01:47:25.200 that are starting the petition are you know hawking their halloween wares and want people to buy all

01:47:29.160 their halloween stuff but i kind of like the idea of it being on the last saturday of the month yeah

01:47:34.380 just in the middle of the week whenever october 31st falls in yeah having kids too i mean you

01:47:38.740 that is a that is a nice that would be a nice little change yeah like even with even with or without

01:47:43.500 kids i mean i don't like going out during the week i'd rather do it on saturday you are the creepy

01:47:49.000 guy that shows up at everybody's door begging for candy aren't you i i am i will say this as uh someone

01:47:54.260 who i have a six uh and a seven year old kid uh and they um go out trick-or-treating every year and

01:48:03.620 the decrease in the percentage of or the the amount of kids that are out on the streets trick-or-treating

01:48:11.080 from when i remember going out as a kid i mean it's got to be 70 percent less people i mean i does it

01:48:17.040 does seem like it's way less now i know they have more of these events like the trunk or treat thing and

01:48:22.000 and maybe that's where kids go now more often but i mean i want to take them out old school

01:48:26.340 trick-or-treating you're walking door to door i want you tired i want that bag on your shoulder

01:48:31.220 i want you to to by the end of it like you're passed out in a candy coma like i want that whole 0.99

01:48:36.440 experience plus i've raised my children on how to get more candy than all the other children

01:48:40.020 if you want to talk about halloween the secret to halloween now i hate to say this on the air man

01:48:44.860 because it gives up this is a good plan okay this works every every time all right you always bring an

01:48:49.920 extra bag as a parent okay to carry so when your kids go up to trick-or-treat and they have a little

01:48:56.960 bit of candy oh did you guys just get started and they give you more so when your kids come back to

01:49:01.760 the sidewalk you take the candy and put it in your bag so the kid only has a little bit in theirs so

01:49:07.100 every door they go to is trick-or-treat oh did you guys get just get started and they give you more

01:49:11.840 that is brilliant on multiple levels because first of all you're of course counting people into

01:49:17.060 extra candy no i'm just helping my children so they don't have to carry such such a weight of

01:49:21.460 candy stew sure and the second part of that is you've now apprehended all of your child's candy

01:49:27.140 so now you can just sit there and eat your fill while they think they're getting extra

01:49:31.800 and they come back and they're like that's actually less than i got last year that's a shame

01:49:36.360 that's a shame kids it's a sad outcome i will say uh the the best halloween costume i ever had

01:49:42.300 when i was a kid was uh a three-headed skeleton so my head is the middle skeleton and then the two

01:49:50.520 on the shoulders are inflatable skeletons okay so it's a three-headed skeleton and that doesn't

01:49:55.500 sound like any amazing um uh you know costume until you walk up and you're with someone who's

01:50:03.240 dressed in some other costume they give them one candy bar and they say hey you got three heads i guess

01:50:08.380 i gotta give you three and they do he said they do right in front of the other people

01:50:12.600 it's amazing this is a sort of innovation that's a good plan i mean it's wonder how we're both

01:50:19.580 overweight strange all right uh jeffy uh you can get uh chew in the fat wherever you get your podcasts

01:50:24.520 uh and you're going to be joining us uh all week with pat as well absolutely love to have the two in

01:50:28.560 the fat segment and uh you know be fun sounds good all right jeffy thanks and we're back in just a

01:50:32.880 second

01:50:33.060 you ever get to that point where you think the world can't get any stranger

01:50:38.980 well let me tell you the story of carissa pinkston carissa is a model and she has apparently been 0.83

01:50:47.980 wrapped up in a new controversy when people found comments on her social media that she was not

01:50:54.380 allowed to make she said p being transgender does not make you a woman it makes you simply 0.70

01:51:01.860 transgendered she got a bunch of pushback on that comment on facebook and she responded she said i

01:51:09.460 really do want to take back my trans comment because if they can say they're women i can reclaim my virginity 1.00

01:51:15.760 she went on and said look the you know gender it's just science 1.00

01:51:22.400 well she got in trouble for that and the comments came to light and because of them pinkston was

01:51:30.100 fired now this is a very store a story you're totally used to at this point right someone comes

01:51:37.120 out says something critical against the things that you're supposed to say and gets fired totally a

01:51:41.860 normal story in 2019 america however this one takes a couple twists when she goes on she finds out 0.60

01:51:48.340 she gets fired she goes on instagram and says i wasn't ready to come out about it yet but i got fired

01:51:54.200 and i've been receiving hate mail and death threats ever since i've been forced to so i've been forced to

01:51:58.000 tell the truth i am transgendered i transitioned at a very young age and i've lived my life as a female

01:52:05.800 ever since it's been very hard to keep this secret but what i said about trans women is a direct

01:52:10.840 reflection of my inner uh inner securities and have since come to realize that i am a woman we all are

01:52:17.340 now that's a twist right she comes out she's critical of being trans of transgendered people

01:52:23.720 then they find turns out she is transgendered now we go all m night shamalan on you why because this 0.96

01:52:32.120 weekend the same model comes out and says this i apologize for any transphobic remark i've made

01:52:38.100 towards the trans community i panicked and thought if i came out as trans that i could somehow make

01:52:43.660 things better for myself but it appears i've only made things worse i'm truly sorry i am 20 and i'm a

01:52:49.200 human and apparently human woman from birth i make mistakes but i refuse to let them define me i hope

01:52:54.940 you can all forgive me and move on because i'm such much i'm so much more than this incident and i'm not

01:52:59.520 a coward well i mean i don't even know i feel like even m night would would stop one twist short of where

01:53:09.580 that one came to a halt so she was just to keep track she was not transgendered she just faked being 0.86

01:53:19.180 transgendered to try to get out of her transgender controversy simple simple you're listening to glenn 0.55

01:53:24.100 back
