The Glenn Beck Program - Llamas On A Train？｜ Guests： Kelly Shackelford & Brad Polumbo ｜ 2⧸28⧸19

00:00:00.640 Good morning. The sun's up. The birds are singing.

00:00:05.900 Oh, it's another beautiful day in the neighborhood.

00:00:08.560 Isn't it?

00:00:09.420 Yeah.

00:00:11.440 I mean, you know, if you're, if you're, look, we got another, we have another gun control bill rising.

00:00:16.480 It's great.

00:00:17.000 Yep. By the way, gun control, well, you can control your guns at your own home and your liberty safe.

00:00:21.620 Shut up. 0.95

00:00:22.100 You can make the decision as to where your guns are instead of the government.

00:00:25.020 Wouldn't that be nice?

00:00:25.720 You are not responsible enough.

00:00:27.520 No, even a liberty safe that nobody can get into.

00:00:30.020 Nobody can break into.

00:00:31.220 Nobody can steal.

00:00:32.560 Not secure enough.

00:00:34.180 No, never will be.

00:00:35.700 Liberty safe right now.

00:00:37.480 Having a big sale and make yourself at home with a liberty safe.

00:00:43.640 Put all the stuff in it that you need to protect.

00:00:46.280 You need to keep.

00:00:47.060 You need to make sure that if it's swept up in a tornado, it can be dropped a block away and it's still going to be closed.

00:00:53.340 If your house burns down, the liberty safe is still going to be standing.

00:00:57.100 And the stuff inside is going to be good.

00:00:59.240 It's liberty safe.

00:01:00.640 See all of their special deals right now.

00:01:02.980 Go to liberty safe dot com.

00:01:08.240 We remind you the best built safes on the planet.

00:01:12.660 Bar none.

00:01:13.040 Liberty safe dot com.

00:01:13.980 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:32.540 Oh.

00:01:33.540 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:34.660 I don't know what's more shocking.

00:01:36.920 The Democrats going for gun control or this documentary that says that Michael Jackson was a pedophile.

00:01:47.160 Well, I'm in total shock on both stories.

00:01:53.460 We begin there in one minute.

00:01:57.920 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:00.560 Stu.

00:02:01.420 Yes, Glenn.

00:02:02.980 Remember the days when I have made a vow to myself.

00:02:06.760 I'm only buying new cars from here on out.

00:02:09.340 New cars.

00:02:10.060 I mean, used cars.

00:02:11.300 So you made a vow to the exact opposite of the thing you said.

00:02:14.400 Thank you.

00:02:15.260 I'm a Democrat.

00:02:16.080 OK.

00:02:16.840 There you go.

00:02:17.760 Which means I'm not.

00:02:20.460 You just spend so much money in the minute you drive it off the lot.

00:02:27.820 It's like it's funny.

00:02:29.180 It's like a long time like story that everyone knows.

00:02:32.620 The second you drive off a lot, you waste all this money.

00:02:35.380 And still everybody does it or at least tries to do it.

00:02:38.360 Yeah.

00:02:38.660 I mean, it's the better decision to just buy something used, especially when you can actually have it protected.

00:02:41.960 It's not like it's not like you're buying something and it could break down and you have to deal with all the repairs.

00:02:46.560 If you have the car shield option, you don't have to deal with it.

00:02:48.920 You don't have to deal with it at all.

00:02:50.260 It's like I mean, you have you have you're covered with everything and you have the 24, 24, 7 roadside assistance.

00:02:58.000 You get a rental car while yours is being fixed.

00:03:00.520 It's all free.

00:03:01.380 It's just it just comes with your your car shield.

00:03:05.480 All you have to do is just go to car shield dot com car shield dot com.

00:03:10.220 You buy a car.

00:03:10.920 It's five thousand miles, one hundred and fifty thousand miles.

00:03:13.220 You still have that car.

00:03:14.280 I've got a I've got an old truck.

00:03:16.620 I brought it in and I honestly don't know how much it was.

00:03:20.780 I know it was over five thousand.

00:03:22.180 I think it was like seven thousand dollars to fix this thing.

00:03:25.480 I had no idea when I brought it in.

00:03:28.260 I was just like, yeah, just just tune it up, just check it, make sure everything's OK.

00:03:32.400 What?

00:03:34.020 I didn't even get a call.

00:03:36.140 The car shield just took care of it. 0.90

00:03:38.160 They knew that I had car shield.

00:03:40.000 Car shield took care of it.

00:03:41.040 They said when I arrived, hey, there was a problem.

00:03:43.600 I said, oh, geez, what did that cost?

00:03:45.220 And they said, well, it was, I don't know, seven thousand.

00:03:48.180 And I was still reeling from that when they said, but we contact car shield and we got

00:03:53.740 it all taken care of.

00:03:54.680 It was all covered.

00:03:55.960 That's why I don't remember the number.

00:03:57.440 All I remember is hearing in slow motion.

00:03:59.960 It's all covered, covered, covered, which was fantastic.

00:04:35.240 Boy, it was quite it was quite a day yesterday, wasn't it?

00:04:38.020 Quite a day.

00:04:38.460 You had in the house, they were doing the people's work.

00:04:42.020 They were talking to Cohen, who Cohen actually said yesterday, you know, if Donald Trump loses

00:04:48.900 the election in 2020, he's not going to go quietly.

00:04:55.440 Are you saying are you saying that the president of the United States will what mount a coup that

00:05:03.900 he won't that he'll barricade himself and order the army to not.

00:05:08.140 Are you kidding me?

00:05:10.260 Yeah.

00:05:10.860 Then that's going to be like praised by the media.

00:05:13.060 It was all over the media.

00:05:14.920 And I pointed this out yesterday.

00:05:17.460 Excuse me, media.

00:05:19.100 Every time some crackpot would say, I don't think he's going to.

00:05:22.580 Every time every journalist said what?

00:05:26.080 On the right.

00:05:27.100 Oh, Barack Obama is not going to leave office.

00:05:30.200 Oh, yeah.

00:05:30.520 Every time somebody said that we and every right wing host that I know of said, no, he's he's

00:05:40.080 not going to do that.

00:05:41.800 So are you actually furthering this conspiracy theory?

00:05:47.760 Are you kidding me?

00:05:48.800 Everything they accuse us of, they do 10 times over 10 times.

00:05:53.720 It's not an excuse for us to do it if it's something bad, but it is it's notable.

00:05:58.080 Yeah, it's certainly not.

00:05:58.960 It's certainly annoying because every time they give you these big preachy rants about

00:06:04.140 all the oh, they care so much and they would never do these things.

00:06:08.280 And the second they have the opportunity to do them, of course they do.

00:06:11.360 So we did something earlier this week on television, we showed you how the gun grab is actually

00:06:17.900 going to happen.

00:06:18.620 In fact, I want to review that and go over that later on in the show today.

00:06:21.920 Oh, sure.

00:06:22.560 But they just voted to pass H.R.

00:06:26.040 8, the bipartisan background checks act of 2019.

00:06:32.180 Now, who's not for this common sense background check for all firearm sales, including all private

00:06:38.380 transactions and purchases made online?

00:06:41.360 And a gun shows only a federally licensed firearms dealer, importer or manufacturer are

00:06:49.820 required to conduct background checks on customers right now.

00:06:53.700 Now, the law says that and I'm quite honestly, I am OK with this.

00:07:00.900 If I'm gifting a gun to my son, it pisses me off that I would have to do this.

00:07:06.120 But, OK, all I have to do is go to my local gun store and have them do the background check

00:07:12.040 of my son.

00:07:12.940 OK, but that's not what they're doing.

00:07:16.340 That's not what they're doing.

00:07:18.980 Stu.

00:07:20.500 They respect the Constitution so much.

00:07:23.320 Oh, I know you can.

00:07:24.260 I mean, they've been this National Emergency Act.

00:07:26.280 They've been talking Constitution all the time.

00:07:28.340 Democrats just are so passionate about the Constitution suddenly.

00:07:32.340 Right.

00:07:32.780 So they're never going to grab your guns.

00:07:35.240 No, they know that they'd have to get around the Constitution and even a national emergency

00:07:40.540 is not going to do that.

00:07:41.600 So what are they doing?

00:07:43.560 If you were sitting here and you're thinking, we got to get rid of guns, but America, they'll

00:07:48.240 go to war.

00:07:48.940 You try to take their guns.

00:07:50.580 They're going to go to war over that.

00:07:52.780 That is the line of a civil war.

00:07:55.280 It really is.

00:07:56.180 You try to go after people's guns and take them.

00:08:01.220 You're going to have a war on your hands, period.

00:08:04.600 Now.

00:08:06.420 How else could you do it?

00:08:09.700 How about if we made it illegal to even transfer a gun or sell a gun unless you went to a dealer,

00:08:21.220 a licensed dealer?

00:08:23.360 Okay, well, that's not so bad because there's lots of licensed dealers.

00:08:28.860 But what if you could convince the banking system to not do transactions or business with gun dealers?

00:08:41.580 What if you could convince them to say, hey, we're not going to do any financial transactions

00:08:48.840 or carry any notes or loan any money to a gun manufacturer?

00:08:55.460 Well, then.

00:08:58.560 You didn't have to enact a law.

00:09:00.820 You didn't have to take away anybody's guns.

00:09:03.520 You're just making it impossible to buy, sell, or transfer a gun.

00:09:10.020 You're just violating the spirit of the Constitution.

00:09:14.520 That's so much better.

00:09:16.080 Oh, man.

00:09:16.680 That's great.

00:09:17.360 Probably violating the actual Constitution as well.

00:09:20.200 Yeah, no.

00:09:20.580 We did a big segment on that on TV.

00:09:22.260 If you happen to be a subscriber, blazetv.com slash Beck.

00:09:25.440 The promo code is Beck.

00:09:26.640 You can watch that.

00:09:28.480 And it goes into depth on the real.

00:09:30.120 There's several journalists who have taken this on as a sort of personal jihad.

00:09:34.560 Oh, yeah.

00:09:35.260 To kind of convince these banks to stop allowing any transaction that has to do with firearms.

00:09:40.560 I want to say C-SPAN.

00:09:43.760 It's not C-SPAN.

00:09:44.520 It's CNBC.

00:09:45.920 CNBC is doing story after story after story with journalists who are saying,

00:09:52.040 you know what?

00:09:53.080 Banks, you have a financial responsibility to stop doing business with these kinds of people.

00:10:00.180 And they're doing it.

00:10:02.580 Our financial freedom is slipping through our fingers.

00:10:06.900 You have to control the media.

00:10:08.540 You have to control the military.

00:10:12.400 You have to control the financial sector.

00:10:16.140 Now, how do you control the financial sector?

00:10:18.600 Well, you give them money.

00:10:20.140 You rope them in by doing things like TARP, et cetera, et cetera.

00:10:24.340 You regulate the snot out of them.

00:10:26.720 And if you control the media and social media, you convince them that it is in their best interest

00:10:34.520 to stop doing business with people that you say are nefarious.

00:10:39.580 And they're doing it.

00:10:41.100 We are losing voices every single day.

00:10:45.540 We are losing power and position every single day.

00:10:50.440 And they're doing it covertly as they always do.

00:10:53.700 I am telling you, people are going to wake up in the next five years and they're going to say,

00:10:57.700 when did that change?

00:10:59.560 Right now.

00:11:00.760 It's been changing for 10 years.

00:11:03.300 Right now, they are just closing all of these doors.

00:11:07.340 We all know the founders are stupid old people with teeth that are wooden and hair that's fake. 0.97

00:11:14.160 And the hair thing is true, but the teeth is not.

00:11:17.160 But go ahead.

00:11:17.840 But the problem is we've never we haven't developed our you know, this what they did was fine for 1776 and 1791.

00:11:24.160 Let's think about today.

00:11:25.580 And what I think is, I think we've come to a point and I think we've already partially implemented this plan.

00:11:30.920 But I think we now propose a system of justice in which one person would propose a charge.

00:11:37.920 And on and I would say it should be on Twitter.

00:11:41.100 And then whatever charges get the highest amount of retweets.

00:11:45.760 That means it's a crime.

00:11:47.320 We've kind of seen it with Bill Cosby.

00:11:49.020 Right.

00:11:49.400 Like we've seen it with with there was another one recently that the same sort of thing was.

00:11:54.860 Oh, it's kind of happening with R. Kelly.

00:11:56.540 Right.

00:11:56.720 Like, oh, these are good examples.

00:11:59.400 No, no.

00:11:59.780 Well, they committed crimes.

00:12:01.140 Yes.

00:12:01.440 And we were like, shrug the shoulders.

00:12:03.500 Yeah.

00:12:04.000 But then when we got the retweets, then we turned on the justice system.

00:12:08.040 Maybe we wait to activate the justice system until the retweet number gets to a certain amount.

00:12:13.080 I see what you're saying.

00:12:14.260 I like that.

00:12:15.020 It's the first layer of justice.

00:12:17.060 Yes.

00:12:17.580 Right.

00:12:17.760 Like if someone if someone.

00:12:19.100 So, in other words, a police officer comes to your house and says, hey, there's a body

00:12:24.140 laying there.

00:12:25.520 And I just found this bloody person holding a knife over the body.

00:12:29.140 They take a picture.

00:12:30.500 A selfie.

00:12:31.140 The police officer should be a selfie.

00:12:33.240 Yeah.

00:12:33.340 Yeah.

00:12:33.440 Yeah.

00:12:33.740 Selfie with the body and the murderer.

00:12:35.980 Yeah.

00:12:36.460 Alleged.

00:12:37.040 And then just says crime.

00:12:39.980 Right.

00:12:40.400 And then tweets it out.

00:12:41.320 Tweets it out.

00:12:41.880 If they get over like 100,000 retweets, maybe you put on the percentage of population for

00:12:46.280 local crimes.

00:12:47.820 And if it gets to a certain amount of retweets, then we're like, all right, we walk over to

00:12:50.700 the old justice machine and we turn on the switch.

00:12:53.340 Well, OK, so I was going to say we shouldn't probably do it on the first round because sometimes

00:12:57.660 people get it wrong, you know, like they did in Covington.

00:13:01.000 But then we all know that that guy, if he isn't guilty of that, he's guilty of something.

00:13:07.580 Well, would you see his face?

00:13:08.560 He's got such a punchable face, as we learn from every blue checkmark on Twitter.

00:13:12.280 Right.

00:13:12.400 But I think this is part of it, Glenn.

00:13:14.420 Part of it is you take people who it's not about whether they committed the crime or not.

00:13:19.900 R. Kelly and Bill Cosby looks like they definitely did do really terrible things.

00:13:23.760 And the Covington kid didn't.

00:13:25.240 But there's plenty of retweets.

00:13:26.780 Put him in prison.

00:13:27.920 That is it.

00:13:28.600 That's the sort of justice system we need. 0.99

00:13:30.880 If look, if people are willing to take their time and invest it in retweeting a possible

00:13:37.480 criminal action.

00:13:38.480 Just do that without reading or thinking.

00:13:40.340 Exactly.

00:13:42.100 Throw him in prison.

00:13:43.540 Right.

00:13:44.200 And then and then at some point, Netflix will release a documentary about their innocence.

00:13:50.440 And when that gets enough retweets, they're freed.

00:13:53.480 I like it.

00:13:54.560 I like it.

00:13:55.060 It's basically automated.

00:13:56.680 And our founders didn't see that.

00:13:58.060 No, they didn't see Twitter.

00:13:59.180 No.

00:13:59.420 How about this?

00:13:59.940 A certain amount of tweets just unlocks the door of the cell and they walk out like we

00:14:03.020 don't have to have.

00:14:03.520 We don't have to tell it like it, like it, like it, like it.

00:14:06.180 This is that way we can get that way.

00:14:07.820 We can get the capitalists out of the prison system.

00:14:12.120 Yes.

00:14:13.000 Yeah.

00:14:13.220 Well, except for Jack.

00:14:14.820 He'll he'll make be essentially making all decisions on our justice.

00:14:18.260 No, but Jack is a Marxist with a monocle.

00:14:20.940 Now, I want you to think about this.

00:14:24.160 OK, there are there are Marxists who actually believe it.

00:14:27.840 OK, but most of the Marxists are the Marxist with the monocle, you know, the monopoly guy

00:14:33.140 monocle.

00:14:33.980 Right.

00:14:34.540 Who are like, yeah, I mean, I am selling this Che shirt, so I am making money off of that.

00:14:44.680 I am using the capitalist system, but I'm a Marxist.

00:14:47.440 Well, I think one of the most important things about being a Marxist is to get all the capital

00:14:53.000 from the capitalist so you can do the just things.

00:14:56.140 Exactly right.

00:14:57.340 It's a Marxist in a monocle.

00:14:59.260 There you go.

00:14:59.680 And Jack is a Marxist in a monocle.

00:15:02.480 There we go.

00:15:02.940 Right.

00:15:03.320 Here we go.

00:15:03.620 I mean, what?

00:15:04.640 It's the first break of the show.

00:15:05.920 We've already solved the legal system.

00:15:07.260 What do you want to go next?

00:15:08.900 You didn't even notice the connection to AOC.

00:15:12.340 She's a Marxist in a monocle as well.

00:15:14.120 Oh, yes.

00:15:15.060 Right.

00:15:15.380 You put it on.

00:15:16.060 Now, you'd have to have a really big, weird, creepy sized monocle to cover one of her eyes. 1.00

00:15:23.140 Oh, yeah.

00:15:23.520 She's a Marxist in a monocle as well.

00:15:25.420 You'd be using 30% of U.S. glass output to get a monocle over that eye.

00:15:29.820 Corning is like, wait, wait.

00:15:32.380 She needs a monocle? 1.00

00:15:34.340 Quick, buy up the rest of the stock.

00:15:39.700 All right.

00:15:40.340 I wanted to talk to you about if you're in constant pain and not the kind of pain that

00:15:44.200 comes from just having to read this crap every day, having to read the news day after 0.66

00:15:50.420 day after day.

00:15:52.300 Have you seen me lately?

00:15:53.860 Finally, this is what happens to you, kids.

00:15:56.140 Can relief factor cure the Michael Cohen hearings?

00:16:00.120 No.

00:16:00.500 No?

00:16:00.980 No.

00:16:01.620 I tried.

00:16:02.680 It took morphine.

00:16:04.060 It took morphine.

00:16:05.420 Yeah.

00:16:05.920 Now, if you'd like something, I was going to say 100% natural, but I'm telling you, opium

00:16:11.620 is natural, baby.

00:16:13.280 No.

00:16:13.380 Well, not by this.

00:16:16.000 It's a kind of a different definition, I think we're talking about here.

00:16:19.600 I just pined for the days when cocaine was actually in Coca-Cola, but that's just me.

00:16:25.160 Anyway, this is 100% natural.

00:16:28.520 It's drug free.

00:16:29.660 It was developed by doctors just to figure out how can we naturally reduce inflammation

00:16:35.160 because that's really where most of our pain is coming from.

00:16:37.840 Our body is inflamed.

00:16:39.340 You got to control the inflammation.

00:16:41.540 So they came up with relief factor.

00:16:43.820 It works for about 70% of the people.

00:16:46.460 70% of the people try it for three weeks.

00:16:48.800 And, I mean, you do what I would do.

00:16:51.160 I would try it for three weeks.

00:16:52.340 And if it doesn't work, I'm not going to order some more.

00:16:55.740 That's why they have the three-week trial period at $19.95, because if it works in three

00:17:00.880 weeks, it's going to work for you.

00:17:02.280 If it doesn't, if you don't see any results, stop taking it.

00:17:06.340 But they so believe in it that they know, try it for three weeks.

00:17:10.280 70% of the people that do come back and order more month after month after month, just

00:17:14.420 like I do.

00:17:15.000 I take it three times a day, and it has dramatically changed my life.

00:17:20.300 Relief factor.

00:17:20.980 Has anybody noticed the show has gotten a little funnier lately?

00:17:24.240 It's because he's not miserable all the time.

00:17:26.100 Yeah, that might be it.

00:17:27.920 Relief factor.com.

00:17:29.020 That's relieffactor.com.

00:17:30.560 Call 800-583-84.

00:17:32.640 800-583-84.

00:17:34.560 It's relieffactor.com.

00:17:37.100 10 seconds, station ID.

00:17:45.000 So should we, should we, should we name the lawmakers that didn't stick to their guns?

00:17:59.560 The, the Republicans?

00:18:01.740 Sure.

00:18:02.760 Sounds like fun.

00:18:05.100 Uh, looks like Peter King.

00:18:08.100 Oh, he's terrible.

00:18:09.840 What?

00:18:10.240 Peter King is awful.

00:18:11.780 Now, if you want someone for good NFL analysis, Peter King is pretty good.

00:18:15.420 It's just a different Peter King.

00:18:17.000 The Peter King that's in Congress sucks.

00:18:20.980 Well, I, I don't know about that.

00:18:23.140 Breaking news.

00:18:24.600 I don't know about that.

00:18:25.540 So he's, he's, he voted for this disaster of a Democratic gun control bill.

00:18:30.260 Uh, it was HR eight, by the way, cause it's the eight year anniversary of the Gabby Giffords

00:18:34.820 shooting, which if you remember correctly, if you remember correctly, that was the one

00:18:39.060 that Sarah Palin, uh, asked people to go commit.

00:18:41.940 Uh, she was like, you know what?

00:18:43.340 Hey, go shoot this woman while she's standing at a grocery store. 1.00

00:18:46.560 No, as it turns out, it was a psycho that was actually a Democrat, a wild progressive,

00:18:53.920 but I don't even need to point that out because he was crazy.

00:18:57.480 Yeah.

00:18:57.780 I don't even know.

00:18:58.360 I wasn't even a wild, I just remember he, his big thing was grammar.

00:19:01.700 Yeah.

00:19:01.840 He believed grammar was attacking, like people were using grammar in some way and like some

00:19:06.040 grand conspiracy to attack the planet.

00:19:08.260 He was crazy.

00:19:08.780 As I said, he didn't even know to, he didn't even need to point that out, but, but we do

00:19:12.820 need to point that out because they blame that on me, on Sarah Palin, on everybody else

00:19:17.620 at the time, the tea party.

00:19:18.900 That was a tea party shooting.

00:19:20.020 No, it wasn't.

00:19:20.620 It was targeting.

00:19:21.340 Remember she, she had a poster.

00:19:23.560 I didn't want to talk about it.

00:19:24.400 It was targeted a district and, and now of course she is a morphine, please.

00:19:29.800 Thank you.

00:19:30.280 Go ahead.

00:19:30.620 She is a, she was there as they kind of went through this process with the bill.

00:19:34.400 And I believe her husband is now running for something in Arizona.

00:19:38.180 So it's, it's become a big, a big rallying cry.

00:19:41.940 Of course, again, I don't know.

00:19:43.880 I don't know how any of this stuff is constitutional, especially at the federal level.

00:19:47.880 It's a whole nother story.

00:19:49.380 It's not something that's going to get passed right now.

00:19:51.080 Obviously the Republican Senate can make sure that that does not happen, at least for the

00:19:54.580 time being.

00:19:55.240 But you want to think if the Democrats do get control of the presidency and they get control

00:19:59.700 of the house and the Senate, which if they win the presidency is most likely, it would

00:20:05.980 be, it would be very hard for Republicans to hold the Senate if they lose the presidency.

00:20:10.140 So going into this, if that happens, you will have Democrats in control of everything and

00:20:16.920 the opportunity for them to take the next step in the sort of Overton window we're going

00:20:22.700 through right now.

00:20:23.380 First it was Democrats.

00:20:24.420 Oh, 50, we only need 50 votes for judges. 0.75

00:20:26.580 Then Republicans.

00:20:27.520 Oh, we only need 50 votes for Supreme court justices. 1.00

00:20:30.660 And the president has asked it several times for only 50 votes for legislation.

00:20:34.220 Well, you're going to tell me Bernie Sanders isn't going to implement that the second he

00:20:37.320 gets into office or Beto O'Rourke or some, anyone else.

00:20:41.040 It's a democracy.

00:20:42.380 Right.

00:20:42.860 50.

00:20:43.260 That's all we need.

00:20:43.740 Majority rules. 0.62

00:20:44.800 And they'll start implementing that stuff quickly.

00:20:46.600 I love this.

00:20:47.300 Majority rules. 0.62

00:20:48.620 When, when has America ever stood for the majority?

00:20:55.040 Seriously.

00:20:55.900 I mean, the whole, the whole country was created by a minority, right? 1.00

00:20:58.720 A minority of crazy people who decided to leave another continent and come here.

00:21:03.460 Right.

00:21:03.900 And the whole idea is you cannot, the majority cannot oppress the individual.

00:21:10.860 And now we're like a majority rules.

00:21:13.600 No, it doesn't.

00:21:14.940 No, it doesn't.

00:21:15.660 Not to the expense of the individual.

00:21:19.880 That's the problem with socialism.

00:21:22.240 I don't, you know, I don't even know how I'm giving, I don't know how I'm giving this

00:21:25.360 speech tomorrow.

00:21:26.200 I'm going to talk about socialism.

00:21:27.680 I have so many things to talk about at CPAC.

00:21:30.460 And they were like, okay, everybody gets 12 minutes.

00:21:34.120 And I'm like, 12 minutes.

00:21:35.060 I can't even, I can't even say hello to a crowd in 10 minutes or 12 minutes.

00:21:39.920 True.

00:21:40.060 I've had meetings with you before and nothing even, I mean, they don't even start until

00:21:43.900 25 minutes.

00:21:44.780 No.

00:21:44.880 I mean, you can come to any of our stage shows.

00:21:46.900 You can come 30 minutes in it.

00:21:48.940 And I'm still haven't really gotten to the material yet.

00:21:50.980 Right.

00:21:51.120 And so I, I've got something, it started out at 30 minutes.

00:21:54.980 We've been working on it for a week, have it down to 18 minutes.

00:21:58.220 And I was thinking today, the problem is I always ad lib.

00:22:01.380 So if I cut it down to 12, it'll still be 18.

00:22:04.100 So I have to cut the text down to four minutes.

00:22:07.300 How are we going to talk about socialism in four minutes?

00:22:10.080 It's really bad.

00:22:11.420 That's about what you can do.

00:22:12.540 Good night, everybody.

00:22:12.920 Good night, everybody.

00:22:13.420 So I'm opening tomorrow and, and Mike Pence is going to be speaking as well.

00:22:20.720 I like Mike Pence a lot.

00:22:22.960 He's going to be speaking later in the day.

00:22:25.360 I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm curious to see how the CPAC crowd is going to react when I walk

00:22:33.140 out.

00:22:33.300 Cause it's always dicey.

00:22:34.420 Cause remember the first time I was there, I was like, you know, CPAC, you're part of

00:22:37.440 the problem.

00:22:38.020 That was your big speech.

00:22:39.220 Yeah.

00:22:39.340 That was my big speech.

00:22:40.260 Yeah.

00:22:40.980 You, you progressives in this, uh, in this auditorium right here, many of you are running

00:22:46.840 CPAC.

00:22:47.700 It didn't go over really well.

00:22:49.340 You don't get invited to a lot of things and that's why I know.

00:22:53.600 I know.

00:22:54.240 So, uh, we're talking to socialism.

00:22:56.200 So it was about socialism.

00:22:57.380 So if there are any socialists, you won't like the speech tomorrow.

00:23:03.460 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:24:23.900 Welcome to the program.

00:24:32.860 Hey, Pat Gray is joining us.

00:24:34.500 Pat, did you see the Nike ad?

00:24:37.760 The Nike ad?

00:24:38.460 The woman, the women's power Nike ad? 0.98

00:24:41.700 Yes.

00:24:42.480 You saw that yesterday?

00:24:44.060 In case you didn't, in case you didn't see it, do we have the actual Nike ad?

00:24:48.160 The original Nike ad?

00:24:50.080 This is the one for, you know, about women. 1.00

00:24:53.040 Now, now watch this.

00:24:54.380 Go ahead and play that.

00:24:57.160 If we show emotion, we're called dramatic.

00:25:00.720 They're showing a woman crying after sports.

00:25:03.520 If we want to play against men, we're nuts.

00:25:07.820 They're playing a...

00:25:09.060 And if we dream of equal opportunity, delusional.

00:25:12.800 When we stand for something, we're unhinged.

00:25:17.800 It's super, it's going to need to calm down.

00:25:20.600 When we're too good, there's something wrong with us.

00:25:24.060 Okay, stop.

00:25:25.000 And if we get...

00:25:25.720 So they're saying, you know, you're crazy.

00:25:27.700 That's nonsense.

00:25:28.480 Nonsense, right?

00:25:29.200 That is nonsense.

00:25:30.600 We've redone the ad.

00:25:32.020 Now, this is, this is, this is, if you're watching the blaze, you're going to really appreciate

00:25:38.280 it.

00:25:39.040 I'm not going to say what the images are, but you'll understand if you're listening to the

00:25:43.940 radio, you'll understand probably the second image in.

00:25:46.700 Here we go.

00:25:47.800 We've redone it.

00:25:51.040 If we show emotion, we're called dramatic.

00:25:56.120 I'm sorry.

00:25:59.700 If we want to play against men, we're nuts.

00:26:03.080 We want to stop it and you want to play those games?

00:26:06.160 Have a nice day.

00:26:06.880 And if we dream of equal opportunity, delusional.

00:26:13.040 I am a man and I demand to be treated as an individual and I demand to be treated equally.

00:26:19.040 When we stand for something, we're unhinged.

00:26:22.280 I will stand with Israel.

00:26:23.280 I will stand with the Jewish people.

00:26:27.280 When we're too good, there's something wrong with us.

00:26:31.000 Beck had long argued that radical Islamists were pursuing a dream of establishing a caliphate

00:26:36.120 in the Middle East.

00:26:37.260 And that's exactly what ISIS has managed to do.

00:26:39.800 And if we get angry, we're hysterical or rational or just being crazy.

00:26:45.320 I haven't seen anyone in Washington say, I was wrong about the caliphate.

00:26:51.980 Oh, I seem to have been wrong.

00:26:54.980 Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy and crazy.

00:26:58.500 Do I want to vaporize France as much as I want to vaporize you? 0.99

00:27:04.760 So if they want to call you crazy and you want to call me crazy, go to hell.

00:27:12.240 Fine.

00:27:13.520 Show them what crazy can do.

00:27:20.540 Either Nike has it wrong or Glenn Beck is a woman. 1.00

00:27:28.500 And it's debatable.

00:27:30.120 I'm not sure.

00:27:31.460 Well, for a long time, we've suspected.

00:27:33.960 Yeah.

00:27:34.120 You're about 85% woman. 1.00

00:27:35.760 I went with answer B on that one.

00:27:37.640 Yeah, it's definitely that one.

00:27:39.300 We'd actually certainly be posted on social with a poll.

00:27:42.440 Yeah.

00:27:42.600 Is Nike wrong or is Glenn Beck a woman?

00:27:44.400 That would be hard for our listeners.

00:27:45.880 It would be.

00:27:46.280 It really would be.

00:27:47.300 It would be.

00:27:48.600 So, Pat, as we're speaking about confused gender roles, Michael Jackson, there's a new documentary,

00:27:57.320 and I know this comes as a shock.

00:27:59.300 Two shocks in a row.

00:28:00.440 Democrats did try to take away your guns yesterday.

00:28:03.400 They passed a bill.

00:28:04.720 I know.

00:28:05.040 It's crazy.

00:28:06.240 And Michael Jackson apparently was attracted to little boys.

00:28:09.740 What?

00:28:10.320 Yeah.

00:28:10.580 Yeah.

00:28:10.980 When did that start?

00:28:14.480 Not recently.

00:28:15.480 I can promise that.

00:28:16.000 Yeah.

00:28:16.160 Yeah.

00:28:16.920 Yeah.

00:28:17.520 Yeah.

00:28:18.080 So there's this new documentary out, and it's pretty disturbing.

00:28:21.640 It's out for HBO this weekend.

00:28:23.640 I'm looking forward to seeing it because it's apparently really convincing.

00:28:29.600 Every article I've read and every review about the documentary is that they do a heck

00:28:34.140 of a job convincing people, even though they lied under oath and they admit that and they

00:28:37.720 talk about that.

00:28:38.620 Yeah.

00:28:38.920 Because they were the star witnesses on Michael Jackson's behalf.

00:28:41.920 Right.

00:28:42.280 In the trial.

00:28:43.340 In 92 or 93.

00:28:44.140 What is their excuse?

00:28:45.740 They, because they defended him because of that weird relationship they had with him.

00:28:50.360 They loved him and they wanted to defend him.

00:28:53.360 It's interesting.

00:28:54.200 I actually am most interested in seeing you watch this, Pat, because you're one of the

00:28:58.480 only people I know who kind of bounces back and forth as to whether you think Jackson

00:29:03.100 did this stuff.

00:29:03.940 For a long time, I thought he was just asexual.

00:29:06.260 I just, and he had sleepovers with boys because he had a stunted childhood.

00:29:10.280 And so he did it as an adult.

00:29:12.580 Right.

00:29:12.760 I think that you could make the case.

00:29:15.280 Pat and I talked about this for years back in the 80s and 90s, that this guy had his

00:29:20.520 childhood taken from him and he didn't know how to behave.

00:29:24.640 He didn't know what was real.

00:29:26.800 He didn't have any normal relationships.

00:29:29.300 And he became super, super awkward as an adult.

00:29:32.100 And you could see him being asexual.

00:29:34.800 Now, when he was like, no, there's nothing wrong with sleeping little boy.

00:29:38.400 Yeah, it was a little creepy.

00:29:39.640 Then you were like, no, I don't think so.

00:29:41.200 I suspected he was guilty and believed he was guilty.

00:29:44.460 But, you know, of course, you're just guessing.

00:29:46.180 The whole time?

00:29:46.740 Until that interview, then the interview happened.

00:29:49.140 And I was like, oh, yeah, 100% now I think he's guilty.

00:29:51.520 Are you talking about the interview with Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes or whatever that was?

00:29:55.100 Is that the one where he was saying, I think it was 60 Minutes.

00:29:57.060 Are you still saying that it's okay for a 45-year-old man to sleep with 12-year-old boys

00:30:04.220 not related to him in their bed?

00:30:06.460 Of course.

00:30:08.640 Of course.

00:30:09.840 Why not?

00:30:11.200 That was a little weird.

00:30:12.160 That was a little weird.

00:30:12.760 Well, not as weird as this new revelation that one of the boys did a wedding with Michael Jackson.

00:30:22.280 I don't know who was the bride. 0.86

00:30:24.660 The kid was.

00:30:25.560 The kid was the bride. 0.98

00:30:27.100 Yeah.

00:30:28.220 And the parents didn't know.

00:30:30.080 But they found out, and he supposedly, I mean, this is all alleged, that Jackson paid a million

00:30:37.020 dollars to the father of the kid so that he wouldn't say anything about it.

00:30:41.400 Well, you would have the transaction.

00:30:42.860 Well, they had.

00:30:43.360 And that was another part of both the trial and that interview because he had paid off

00:30:49.040 so many kids.

00:30:50.380 So many.

00:30:50.920 To, you know, I mean, it was just hard to, I mean, it was believe he didn't do it.

00:30:55.100 Tens of millions of dollars.

00:30:56.980 But you don't remember when you were wed to that 45-year-old man?

00:31:00.940 No, I don't remember that at all.

00:31:02.580 Really?

00:31:03.200 No.

00:31:03.560 You blocked it out?

00:31:04.740 Probably.

00:31:05.600 Yeah.

00:31:05.980 Yeah.

00:31:06.140 Because it's so normal.

00:31:07.380 Because I have no recollection.

00:31:08.400 Oh, how many 45-year-old men do that?

00:31:10.680 Have sleepovers with 12-year-old boys.

00:31:12.280 Well, and then dress the little boy up like a little girl. 0.74

00:31:16.120 And then marry him.

00:31:16.840 And marry him.

00:31:17.480 Ah, it's so common.

00:31:18.600 Happens in some of the best cults in the world.

00:31:20.840 No, it's very weird.

00:31:22.120 It's very weird.

00:31:22.860 And I will say, though, sometimes you do pay off people who didn't, who are alleging things

00:31:28.240 that are-

00:31:28.420 Just to avoid the publicity.

00:31:28.840 Yes, exactly.

00:31:29.420 To give you an example from yesterday's testimony, Michael Cohen said he was going out to look

00:31:33.760 to potentially pay off or buy a story about Melania Trump being hit in an elevator. 1.00

00:31:39.300 Then there was video of it.

00:31:40.800 And he's like, number one, I don't think it happened.

00:31:43.080 And number two, like, I'll say a lot of bad things about Donald Trump, but he would never

00:31:46.200 do that.

00:31:46.660 He would never hit Melania.

00:31:47.760 And so, like, and they, and he, they didn't believe it was true.

00:31:52.880 They still pursued it to try to kill it out of the media because, you know, when you're

00:31:57.240 a certain level, you do those things.

00:31:59.060 You do.

00:31:59.380 You know, the parents are culpable, too, here.

00:32:01.740 I mean-

00:32:02.100 Big time.

00:32:02.560 If he did do this, then the parents are negligent.

00:32:05.440 And they should do time as well.

00:32:07.340 If somebody comes to me with a million dollars and says, hey, yeah, I know I married your son.

00:32:13.200 Oh, my gosh.

00:32:14.100 I don't care how much money you offer me.

00:32:16.000 No.

00:32:16.340 I'm going to the police.

00:32:17.540 You are, that's trouble.

00:32:18.880 Or to allow them to stay over at Michael Jackson's house in the first place.

00:32:21.960 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:32:22.520 Think of the most famous person in the world right now.

00:32:24.820 Would you allow your children to spend the weekend with them?

00:32:27.720 No.

00:32:28.380 Hey, how about I drop them off Friday night and we'll pick them back up Monday morning?

00:32:32.120 Uh, no.

00:32:33.840 Do you remember when Michael Jackson called in on the show?

00:32:40.260 This is years and years ago.

00:32:42.900 Oh, this was after Valentine's Day, wasn't it?

00:32:44.820 It was Valentine's Day and he wanted to, you know, we did the, like we just did on Valentine's

00:32:49.180 Day where we bailed the guys out that, that, you know, missed it or couldn't get flowers

00:32:53.560 or whatever.

00:32:54.100 A couple of the year program.

00:32:55.480 Yeah.

00:32:55.720 And, uh, and Michael Jackson wanted to participate in that?

00:32:58.980 Yeah.

00:32:59.140 This is like the day after I think it was.

00:33:00.980 This is like 10 or 12 years ago.

00:33:02.980 Okay.

00:33:03.580 He heard it initially and I think wanted to get in on it the next day.

00:33:06.760 Yeah.

00:33:07.620 Yeah.

00:33:07.860 So here it is.

00:33:08.980 Oh, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:33:10.020 Hi, Michael.

00:33:10.580 Hello.

00:33:11.300 Hey.

00:33:12.100 Hello, Glenn.

00:33:12.780 It's Michael.

00:33:14.540 Michael, how are you?

00:33:16.040 Well, I'm so sick of hearing about all of these freaks in the news.

00:33:20.280 Yes.

00:33:20.760 I know you are.

00:33:21.840 There are so many freaks all over the media coverage.

00:33:24.980 It's horrifying.

00:33:25.760 I know.

00:33:26.220 Are you in the hospital?

00:33:27.740 I'm very sick.

00:33:28.740 You're very sick.

00:33:29.700 What, what happened?

00:33:30.620 I know you were taken right to the hospital.

00:33:32.280 I was taken right to the hospital.

00:33:34.360 I'm here.

00:33:35.540 I feel awful.

00:33:36.740 You're still at the hospital.

00:33:38.300 I had a chance to listen to your show yesterday.

00:33:40.800 You did.

00:33:41.600 It was wonderful.

00:33:43.180 Really?

00:33:44.020 Can I still get in on that couple of the year thing?

00:33:46.560 I love that.

00:33:48.180 No, we pretty much closed the door on the couple of the year thing.

00:33:51.500 Well, I'd really like an opportunity to be involved.

00:33:54.080 Well, this is where we would call, you know, your wife and, you know, apologize.

00:33:58.120 You didn't do anything for Valentine's Day?

00:34:01.300 Well, I hung out at the Chuck E. Cheese.

00:34:04.100 It was wonderful.

00:34:05.380 Yes.

00:34:06.820 I threw a private party there.

00:34:08.520 It was terrific.

00:34:09.660 Right.

00:34:09.900 I love children.

00:34:10.740 I would never hurt a child.

00:34:12.700 I know.

00:34:13.000 Let me end.

00:34:14.460 I have the form here.

00:34:15.600 You'd have to fill out the form.

00:34:17.140 Oh, I filled out the form.

00:34:18.300 You filled it out?

00:34:18.980 You filled it out on the website?

00:34:20.380 I'm ready to go.

00:34:21.420 Okay.

00:34:21.680 Let's see.

00:34:22.200 Dear Mr. Beck, I've never entered a contest like this before.

00:34:25.720 However, I felt I had to tell you about my beautiful...

00:34:28.860 Cancerous fan.

00:34:29.980 I really can't express in words how uniquely wonderful...

00:34:35.480 The unnamed accuser.

00:34:37.640 Truly is.

00:34:39.300 Honestly, at first, I thought I was attracted to...

00:34:42.640 His age.

00:34:43.540 I don't think this is going to work, Michael.

00:34:48.440 Keep going.

00:34:49.820 But as time went on, it turned into so much more.

00:34:52.540 I guess I knew it was true love the first time we...

00:34:56.240 Took the training wheels off his bike.

00:35:01.120 Hello?

00:35:02.060 Yes.

00:35:03.120 And that trip to...

00:35:04.840 The secret room behind the giant teddy bear.

00:35:07.540 Wow.

00:35:10.060 That was...

00:35:11.180 What a perfect time that was.

00:35:13.160 I guess what sets him apart is the distinctive way he...

00:35:17.140 Isn't old.

00:35:19.020 Unlike any other...

00:35:21.020 Boy in the world of amusement park-owning pedophile victims.

00:35:26.120 I'm sorry.

00:35:26.900 Unlike any other...

00:35:27.660 What was that?

00:35:29.320 Any other boy in the world of amusement park-owning pedophile victims.

00:35:34.240 Anyway, I could go on forever, but that would take away from my time with him.

00:35:37.540 And I have to get back to work at...

00:35:40.540 The Neverland Ranch.

00:35:41.940 Where I...

00:35:42.940 Molest children from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday.

00:35:46.720 And sometimes in the overnights when they're sleeping.

00:35:50.260 Everyone always tries to make love so complex.

00:35:52.760 And that's why I think we should be your Valentine's Couple of the Year.

00:35:55.820 Because for me, it's simple.

00:35:59.080 I just love...

00:36:01.080 Wine, coloring books, and Corey Feldman.

00:36:08.440 Yeah.

00:36:11.040 We should have seen it.

00:36:12.860 We should have seen it.

00:36:13.960 All the signs were there.

00:36:14.880 There really were hints.

00:36:17.460 I don't want to be my detective here, but you hear it.

00:36:20.540 Yeah, but you don't want to make too much of those answers.

00:36:23.140 No.

00:36:24.040 No.

00:36:24.880 No.

00:36:25.200 He had a bad childhood.

00:36:29.500 All right.

00:37:53.700 I'm having a difficult time catching my breath after the Michael Jackson phone call that just happened on the program.

00:38:06.740 By the way, is this just another reason why you would say, I'm really glad I don't live in Portland?

00:38:13.580 Apparently, on the light rail train, what a surprise, Portland has one.

00:38:20.240 There was an unwelcome passenger with some.

00:38:25.540 And there's a picture here of a llama on the light rail in Portland.

00:38:32.880 Well, it's just the one llama.

00:38:35.600 Right.

00:38:35.920 There's multiple llamas.

00:38:37.780 Right.

00:38:38.740 And the old guy with the beard, he's got the llama on a leash.

00:38:44.480 What?

00:38:44.900 It's his service llama.

00:38:47.520 When you look at the llama from at least the perspective you're showing it to me, it kind of looks like it's an old guy with a beard.

00:38:52.960 Well, maybe in Portland.

00:38:55.400 Sure.

00:38:56.200 So, is you saying there's something wrong with this?

00:38:58.000 That llamas are you an anti-lamas?

00:39:00.840 What's your...

00:39:01.460 Well, no.

00:39:01.980 I mean, this is...

00:39:03.260 Caesar is the, quote, no drama llama.

00:39:07.360 Uh, and, uh, very well-behaved.

00:39:10.620 And he was well-behaved on his ride.

00:39:12.660 And he is, I'm not kidding you, a service animal.

00:39:16.980 He's a, uh...

00:39:17.960 Is he an emotional support llama? 0.85

00:39:19.460 Mm-hmm.

00:39:19.920 Mm-hmm.

00:39:20.800 I noticed this, uh, quite a, quite a trend.

00:39:23.620 Number one, with emotional support animals.

00:39:25.360 Number two, uh, children's book authors have discovered that llama rhymes with both drama and mama.

00:39:31.060 Which gives, uh, gives them a lot of opportunities for rhymes in children's books.

00:39:34.800 Lots of books released.

00:39:35.640 Well, here was the...

00:39:37.640 Here is the, uh, complaint, uh, Stu.

00:39:40.220 Mm-hmm.

00:39:40.900 Um, transit police and fare inspectors, according to some, uh, harass people of color.

00:39:48.920 But apparently white people can do whatever the F they want.

00:39:53.020 That's a good hot take on that.

00:39:55.500 Wow.

00:39:55.920 That's sizzling.

00:39:56.760 Yeah.

00:39:57.000 Isn't it?

00:39:57.520 Yeah.

00:39:57.760 That's because a guy bringing a llama on a train is a race issue now.

00:40:03.160 Every...

00:40:03.760 Oh! 0.60

00:40:05.640 It's amazing.

00:40:06.580 It's like...

00:40:07.560 Here is, uh, Martin Luther King, who says,

00:40:10.740 Our goal here is to be colorblind.

00:40:14.440 To make color not an issue.

00:40:16.740 And the result of his movement is color is the only issue.

00:40:20.700 No, this is not...

00:40:21.540 It's the same thing with gender. 1.00

00:40:21.640 That's not a result of his.

00:40:22.160 Gender shouldn't be an issue. 1.00

00:40:23.120 You shouldn't care about whether it's a woman or a man you're hiring for that job. 0.84

00:40:26.200 By the way, it's the only thing that matters now.

00:40:29.200 Color and gender are the only two things that matter. 1.00

00:40:32.840 Everything can be boiled down to a...

00:40:34.900 Every decision you make is based on whether you dislike black people or don't like women

00:40:39.740 or think gay people are bad.

00:40:42.380 Maybe, just maybe, you make rational decisions based on the evidence available.

00:40:48.240 Like, what are you talking about?

00:40:49.100 And, you know, maybe llamas on trains, not a good idea whether we're white or black.

00:40:51.780 Who are you to say that I can't bring my emotional support llama onto a train?

00:40:58.640 You know what?

00:40:59.240 Put all the llamas in the back of the train.

00:41:01.360 Give them their own car.

00:41:03.660 Separate the llamas from the people. 1.00

00:41:06.460 They're lesser than us.

00:41:08.000 Portland, no, don't do it.

00:41:10.320 Fill your light rail.

00:41:11.800 I pay money for a herd of llamas to ride the light rail.

00:41:19.400 Let's do it.

00:41:20.300 Come on, there's got to be a llama rancher out there someplace that will take me up. 1.00

00:41:24.900 Let's fill Portland's light rail with llamas.

00:41:29.600 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:43:06.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:43:08.100 Yesterday was a bizarre day.

00:43:10.300 We had a hearing on Capitol Hill that really made no sense, unless you were a member of the media.

00:43:17.940 Then you were like, this guy makes a lot of sense.

00:43:21.360 A lot of sense.

00:43:22.500 Michael Cohen was a joke.

00:43:24.740 He's always been a joke.

00:43:27.000 He's not credible.

00:43:28.280 He's never been credible.

00:43:30.720 Well, but he did say yesterday, well, I think the president won't give up the Oval Office without a fight,

00:43:36.280 even if he loses the election.

00:43:38.100 Oh, really?

00:43:39.020 So while the world was distracted by a lot of different circus shows, there was something important happening at the Supreme Court.

00:43:47.840 And it looks good for conservatives, at least at this point.

00:43:52.100 We'll tell you about it from a guy who was in the room at the Supreme Court yesterday next.

00:43:58.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:44:03.940 Back to that story in one minute.

00:44:06.040 I want to talk to you a little bit about 23andMe.

00:44:08.360 We got our 23andMe DNA test back.

00:44:11.820 My son is 0.3% African, which I don't know if that's going to help him get into college.

00:44:21.180 I'm 1.3 Native American.

00:44:24.340 That's 13 times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren. 1.00

00:44:28.660 And I normally wouldn't care, but it just feels good to be able to say, you know,

00:44:36.220 I'm 13 times more special than Elizabeth Warren.

00:44:43.840 Maybe I'll apply for some teaching gigs somewhere.

00:44:48.200 Let's see if I can get those teaching gigs now.

00:44:50.660 Or are they going to oppress the red man in me?

00:44:53.540 I'm just not.

00:44:54.080 I think every time something goes wrong for you, that is your new answer.

00:44:57.840 I hate it.

00:44:58.640 That they just don't like Native Americans.

00:45:00.240 Embrace it.

00:45:01.200 Embrace it.

00:45:01.880 23andMe, you can get not only your ancestry, but you get personalized insights based on your DNA.

00:45:07.680 With more than 125 genetic reports on health, traits, and so much more.

00:45:13.940 Really, it's a great place to start for health, and it is a great place to start if you want to track your ancestry.

00:45:20.460 It's 23andMe.

00:45:21.540 It was actually a lot of fun.

00:45:22.740 We did this with the whole family.

00:45:24.360 My son is adopted, so we needed to know, you know, his ancestry.

00:45:28.440 And it was fascinating and is really, we've talked about it, I think, every night since we had the test done.

00:45:34.220 And the kids and the whole family waited for it for the two weeks that it took to turn the DNA back around.

00:46:01.260 Kelly Shackelford, Esquire.

00:46:04.220 I don't know what that means.

00:46:05.080 Does that mean you're an attorney?

00:46:06.740 Yes.

00:46:07.800 Is that what it means?

00:46:09.020 Because it just sounds cool.

00:46:11.220 Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO of First Liberty Institute, joins us.

00:46:15.660 The First Liberty, in case you don't know, is the largest legal firm in the nation.

00:46:19.740 That all they do is try to protect religious freedom in America.

00:46:24.000 Fighting the good fight.

00:46:25.100 You were in the Supreme Court yesterday.

00:46:26.820 And First Liberty was defending something that was a statue that has been around forever, commemorating those who lost their lives in World War I.

00:46:41.040 And a bunch of atheists got together and said, this is in the shape of a cross.

00:46:47.000 And the city is mowing the lawn around it.

00:46:50.560 That's not right.

00:46:51.780 And wanted it removed.

00:46:53.840 What happened yesterday, Kelly?

00:46:56.460 Well, it's kind of surreal, as you say, that we're even at the Supreme Court on this.

00:47:00.960 I mean, this is the peace cross in Maryland, right outside of D.C.

00:47:05.160 It was put up almost 100 years ago by mothers who lost their sons in World War I, along with the American Legion.

00:47:12.580 And at this point, you know, before the Supreme Court makes its decision, we are at a point where the Court of Appeals said it's unconstitutional.

00:47:22.640 After 100 years, we're going to have to tear it down.

00:47:24.680 In fact, one of the judges on the appellate court said, why don't we just cut the arms off the cross?

00:47:30.260 Won't that take care of any offense?

00:47:32.940 And so I can't even believe we're in this battle.

00:47:37.160 But I think it might be something that you could turn something really bad into good.

00:47:41.520 We'll see.

00:47:42.940 There's an approach, Glenn, that has been used now for many decades by the Supreme Court that has created just chaos in this whole area of the law, the Establishment Clause.

00:47:54.400 Congress shall make no law respecting Establishment of Religion.

00:47:56.700 It's called the Lemon Test.

00:47:57.760 Lemon Test.

00:47:58.500 That's right.

00:47:58.900 And the Lemon Test has no, there's no parameters, right, on the Lemon Test.

00:48:04.720 We don't really know what that even means, do we?

00:48:07.500 No, they added to it.

00:48:09.240 And part of the test now is that if a person in the community were to walk by a memorial and they were to see that it's religious and it made it feel like an outsider in the community, then that's a violation of the Establishment Clause.

00:48:23.700 What?

00:48:24.100 And so it's kind of the it's what's called the offended observer gets to bring a lawsuit.

00:48:32.060 And it's like Justice Gorsuch yesterday made clear, he said, we don't allow this in any area of the law.

00:48:38.040 Somebody to come forward and say they're offended and therefore they have a right to, you know, bring lawsuits under the Constitution because they're offended.

00:48:45.560 And but that's where we are with this.

00:48:48.480 They they're a group of people, a small group of people that don't want this memorial.

00:48:53.680 And so they want to tear it down.

00:48:56.120 And so, again, bad news is what happened below.

00:48:59.840 Good news is we have a shot here.

00:49:02.300 And there was a lot of discussion about this yesterday.

00:49:04.480 And this was our goal to get rid of this bad lemon test that has created so much trouble in our country.

00:49:10.940 And really, it's created hostility to religion, which is not what the founders ever wanted.

00:49:15.240 Right.

00:49:15.920 So why do you think that this went so well yesterday?

00:49:20.760 Well, I think it's clear that there some people would say there might even be up to seven justices who agree that there's nothing wrong with this memorial.

00:49:29.540 Again, the facts are so solid in this case.

00:49:33.440 I mean, the reason the cross was you.

00:49:35.460 I mean, they're trying to say, well, they use the cross because they're supporting one religion over another and they're they're doing all this stuff. 0.85

00:49:41.860 The cross was used.

00:49:42.820 If you look at any history, you go back at World War One, millions of young men died and they were they were putting them in graves overseas so quickly.

00:49:51.920 And they were just slapping a cross in front of everybody just to make sure they knew there was a person.

00:49:56.520 And the pictures that came back were row after row after row of crosses as far as you can see.

00:50:03.300 And there were poems written about this and everything else.

00:50:05.720 So that was the universal symbol they picked to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

00:50:11.500 And so the idea of tearing down this memorial after 100 years would just be a disgrace and it would be unfathomable.

00:50:21.140 And I think the court realizes that.

00:50:22.920 So I think the only issue that is coming out of this is going to be are they going to change the test of this test that's been used to kind of create these attacks on religious symbols and monuments and things around the country?

00:50:35.740 And there were a number of justices, including the chief justice, who made clear that this thing is a mess.

00:50:44.820 This test, Glenn, this tells you something.

00:50:48.120 They use it when they want to knock something down, but then they ignore the test completely when they have to uphold something that the founders clearly thought was OK.

00:50:58.020 So there was a case just a few years ago about can you have prayer to open city council meetings?

00:51:03.180 Well, the founders had prayer to open their meetings.

00:51:05.360 They even paid a chaplain.

00:51:06.820 And so they couldn't say that that's unconstitutional under the establishment clause.

00:51:11.480 But if they had applied the lemon test, they'd have had to strike it down.

00:51:14.920 So they didn't apply the test.

00:51:17.080 So they talked about this yesterday and said, this is I mean, we can do what we want as a Supreme Court, but we're forcing all the lower courts.

00:51:24.740 They have no idea what the law is, what things to apply.

00:51:27.700 And I think they know they need to do something.

00:51:30.460 And I think there's a really good shot that they're going to get rid of what has created a really a catastrophe in this area of the law.

00:51:38.700 Kelly, if I'm not mistaken, the way the court is ruling on things, there is a change in the court.

00:51:47.440 And is it just the addition of of Gorsuch that is happening?

00:51:53.980 Because there seems to be in when it comes to religion, that the Supreme Court is starting to define those boundaries a little bit clearer and actually protect.

00:52:06.400 Haven't we had several cases this this session where they are protecting religious liberty?

00:52:13.180 There's some huge signals coming out when this case is one of them.

00:52:18.260 I think we now have five justices for the first time, maybe since the 1920s, who actually believe in following the written word of the Constitution.

00:52:27.520 Holy cow. 0.89

00:52:28.040 And that's that's going to result in things changing because they're going to say it's not about what we want.

00:52:33.700 It's about what the framers said, what the Constitution said, what it means.

00:52:38.460 And I think when it comes to religious freedom, we have five that are really pretty solid on religious freedom.

00:52:44.640 I think Kavanaugh is a guy who I mean, he don't Kavanaugh as a young attorney donated his time on a case with me, you know, almost 20 years ago.

00:52:52.680 He's been committed to religious freedom his whole life.

00:52:55.000 He understands it. And I think the same about Roberts, who's considered a swing boat a lot of times.

00:53:00.380 So I think we're going to start to see some clarity and some good decisions come out.

00:53:04.800 And we're talking about the establishment clause.

00:53:06.800 We have another case, the Coach Kennedy case.

00:53:09.540 The coach got fired for going to a knee after the football game to say a 20 minute silent prayer.

00:53:14.480 Yeah.

00:53:15.460 They issued a statement before conservative justices last month on that case that sent shockwaves throughout the country.

00:53:24.580 And that is at the end of the decision that they had laid down, they actually said, you know, we've noticed that you brought a free speech claim first, not a free exercise of religion claim.

00:53:35.960 And they said that might be because of this decision, which is called the Smith decision, that has created such damage to the free exercise of religion.

00:53:44.840 And they said, but we haven't been asked to overturn that yet.

00:53:48.520 So that's not a subtle hint that they're ready to go after some of these really bad cases that have really hurt religious freedom for the last, you know, four or five decades.

00:54:01.220 And so both on the establishment clause and the free exercise clause, both the religion clauses, we're really excited.

00:54:08.060 You know, it's amazing, Kelly.

00:54:09.360 The the press is so focused on Donald Trump.

00:54:14.040 I mean, he is the ultimate red herring.

00:54:16.220 No comment on his hair.

00:54:19.440 He really is.

00:54:20.940 I mean, they they are so focused on him that you could go in and say every baby gets an automatic weapon through the Supreme Court or through Congress.

00:54:32.540 And I don't think that the press would even focus on it because they're so focused on him.

00:54:38.560 We we feel like we're losing the battles almost every day because we see these these huge leaps of power for the left that we're not seeing or hearing because nobody's reporting on these victories in the court and what's really happening in the court.

00:54:57.260 It's game changing, isn't it?

00:54:59.460 It is.

00:55:00.420 I can't I can't agree with you more.

00:55:03.040 This is I mean, I've been doing religious freedom work my entire life.

00:55:07.460 And, you know, been working hard and I feel like everything we've all been working for for the last 30 years is beginning to happen and not in small ways.

00:55:19.040 And I think this is this is going to be a huge return of power to the people getting the government out of sort of being the the religious monuments police. 0.59

00:55:30.580 And, you know, part of things we're talking about just from the case yesterday, you know, think of all the, you know, the menorahs that have been so you can't put that menorah up in public around Hanukkah or you can't do the the nativity scene or you can't you can't have that Ten Commandments or I mean, oh, my gosh, you've got a steeple on your city seal.

00:55:50.380 Well, you know, and so all that stuff is ridiculous if you're talking to the founders.

00:55:56.080 And I think I mean, this case could end all of that and it'll affect much more.

00:56:01.660 But that's just real life things that people are used to seeing.

00:56:04.960 And so I think both the establishment clause and the free exercise clause, there's great hope.

00:56:09.600 We'll have to wait and see what the decisions are.

00:56:11.740 But I think it's going to be a really I mean, we're talking about decades changing sort of the hinge point of history, like we've had decades of some really bad law.

00:56:21.440 And I think we're about to move towards some decades of some really good law and religious freedom and the First Amendment.

00:56:27.500 I will tell you that David Barton told me that he said, Glenn, if the things come out the way they're feeling, he said, by the end of this session, he said, we may have more religious freedom than any time since the founding of the nation.

00:56:44.340 He said they they've been screwing it up for so long.

00:56:48.140 He said, I think we're going back to the way things were originally intended.

00:56:52.720 Would you agree with that or is that too far?

00:56:54.540 No, I do. I mean, it's kind of it's kind of silly.

00:56:57.700 You know, most nonprofit groups like our legal firm have a vision statement and they're kind of pie in the sky.

00:57:05.720 You know, if if this happens, this would be nirvana. Right.

00:57:10.440 And ours is to return the country to the religious freedom.

00:57:14.300 That was the vision of our founders.

00:57:16.600 I never thought I would see it in my lifetime, but I think that's now what we're going to see,

00:57:21.900 because we actually have justices who want to follow what the Constitution and the founders were doing.

00:57:28.680 And that's just unique.

00:57:30.660 We haven't seen that in our lifetime.

00:57:32.820 And so I think we're going to start to see decisions go back to what that founding vision was and the religious freedom that this country was built on.

00:57:40.840 And I think that's only going to be a blessing for the country and the future of everything we do.

00:57:45.640 Wow. Kelly, thank you so much. And thank you for the hard work that you've put in for so long.

00:57:50.260 Chief counsel, First Liberty Institute, if you want to be involved, you want to donate.

00:57:55.060 I mean, they are doing amazing work right now.

00:57:58.880 First Liberty dot org. First Liberty dot org.

00:58:01.340 Kelly, thank you so much. God bless.

00:58:03.060 Thank you, Glenn.

00:58:03.920 You bet.

00:58:04.200 Now, if we could just get the justices to be good on the freedom of speech part, the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment.

00:58:13.720 Count your blessings on this.

00:58:14.840 I know. No, I know.

00:58:15.640 We can get one amendment.

00:58:16.380 If we can get one fifth of one amendment, which is what we're talking about, that's a huge win.

00:58:21.460 Do you see this thing in the New York Times about if you are going to splurge on buying something?

00:58:25.880 Yeah.

00:58:26.160 You should buy something.

00:58:27.420 Spend money where you spend the most time.

00:58:29.540 So, the author is like, works at home and has figured out now that the office chair would be a better value because then thieves are considering buying like a video game.

00:58:41.160 But they're saying eight cents per hour is what they figured out it actually costs.

00:58:45.880 Wow.

00:58:46.440 Eight cents per hour after like a year.

00:58:48.720 Wow.

00:58:49.080 Which is like, that's pretty cost effective.

00:58:50.380 If you're working at home to get like an X chair, for example, if I might suggest, you are at a point where you're basically spending nothing for the amount of time you're there.

00:59:01.060 It's helping your posture.

00:59:02.160 It's comfortable.

00:59:03.780 You know, I just saw an ad for, I think there are Herman Miller chairs.

00:59:08.460 And anybody who's ever seen a Herman Miller chair and thought, oh, I want, someday I want a Herman Miller chair.

00:59:15.020 You're only thinking that because you've never had a Herman Miller chair.

00:59:18.220 Those are the really expensive chairs.

00:59:21.340 And they're not all that.

00:59:23.900 They really aren't.

00:59:24.880 They look great.

00:59:25.580 And you sit in them for a while.

00:59:26.560 And you're like, okay, that's a pretty good chair.

00:59:28.820 They're not.

00:59:29.600 I had one when we were in New York.

00:59:31.360 I didn't even bring it down here.

00:59:32.840 And they're really expensive.

00:59:35.160 And I just went back to normal chairs.

00:59:37.400 Now, the X chair, which is cheaper than that one.

00:59:41.300 This is a great chair.

00:59:43.380 I mean, we just, I was supposed to go up and if I can get to the studio tomorrow, do this show in the studio in Washington, D.C.

00:59:51.220 I ordered a chair for up in the studio.

00:59:53.540 We didn't do that with the Miller chair.

00:59:56.100 I did that with this because it's great.

00:59:59.240 It will really help your posture, your back, everything.

01:00:02.640 It's just comfortable.

01:00:03.760 So you can check them out now.

01:00:41.380 Coming up on the Glenn Beck program in 35 minutes, what what H.R.

01:00:57.760 8 is really all about and why there is the hidden steps that are being taken that make

01:01:05.380 H.R. 8 the common sense bipartisan gun control bill that the Congress passed yesterday.

01:01:14.100 Why it's not common sense what you need to see.

01:01:17.860 They're building things separately.

01:01:19.980 And when they all come together, that's when there's a problem.

01:01:24.120 Losing your gun rights without you ever figuring it out until it's too late.

01:01:29.200 Coming up in about 35 minutes on this program.

01:01:31.720 Also, I have to say thank you to everyone listening and viewing on The Blaze story today in the

01:01:37.480 media post.

01:01:38.260 The Blaze is on fire.

01:01:39.360 How it overtook Breitbart and now has The Blaze as the number two conservative site on

01:01:44.920 the Internet just behind Fox News.

01:01:46.900 So that's really cool.

01:01:48.040 Well, it's got some.

01:01:49.320 143% growth in the last year.

01:01:52.380 Going out of business.

01:01:53.800 Well, I mean, I don't think it's going out of business at the moment.

01:01:56.680 No, I know.

01:01:57.280 I know.

01:01:57.580 I mean, there's part of me and I'm going to celebrate in this and then I'll never say

01:02:00.780 it again.

01:02:02.760 Don't bet against a man who has nothing to lose.

01:02:07.520 Just going to say that.

01:02:08.800 All right.

01:02:09.120 Go ahead.

01:02:10.020 I think it's exciting.

01:02:11.220 And, you know, the audience has been there the entire time.

01:02:14.200 Yes.

01:02:14.520 Thank you.

01:02:15.080 Thank you for this and for that.

01:02:16.360 And the growth in the ratings has been really strong over the past year.

01:02:19.300 We never talk about this stuff because it's meaningless.

01:02:22.260 People don't care.

01:02:23.280 But I mean, it matters to us to at least say thank you.

01:02:26.380 I know and we do notice.

01:02:27.860 I mean, we look at the radio ratings.

01:02:29.200 The radio ratings are through the roof.

01:02:30.580 Everything has been just amazing.

01:02:33.660 And we are greatly blessed and we are blessed by a very loyal audience.

01:02:38.580 And thank you.

01:02:41.400 Just thank you.

01:02:42.120 Thank you.

01:02:42.560 Thank you.

01:02:43.140 Thank you.

01:02:45.440 I may have given up, but you never gave up on us.

01:02:48.920 And I really am grateful for that.

01:02:52.820 And just watch us grow now.

01:02:56.560 Exciting.

01:02:57.280 So we're number two behind Fox.

01:02:59.280 Yeah.

01:02:59.560 Fox is.

01:03:00.460 So number two conservative media site behind Fox.

01:03:03.940 Yeah.

01:03:04.580 And then it goes Washington Examiner is now third.

01:03:07.000 Breitbart is all the way back to fourth.

01:03:08.660 Then Washington Times, Daily Caller and Western Journal and National Review.

01:03:13.900 And Daily Wire is after that.

01:03:15.240 So there's a lot of good sites in that.

01:03:16.600 You know, look, there's a lot of good sites in that group.

01:03:18.200 We're honored.

01:03:18.800 And I'll just say when we'll be even better when, you know, it's we had CRTV.

01:03:25.040 So then we merged and we went at Blaze TV.

01:03:27.580 And I think Blaze TV Wire would be great.

01:03:31.960 You're really pushing this one, aren't you?

01:03:33.520 And we could even be Daily Blaze TV Wire.

01:03:37.820 At some point, people's fingers get tired from typing.

01:03:41.520 Yeah.

01:03:41.740 No, it wouldn't be the Daily Wire.

01:03:43.020 It'd be the Daily Caller.

01:03:44.940 Daily Blaze TV Wire.

01:03:47.640 You're just going to merge all of them together into one conglomerate.

01:03:50.280 I'm just saying.

01:03:52.360 It works.

01:03:52.740 What happens when you get everybody together and we're one big powerhouse that has the has the clout that can move as one body?

01:04:04.240 We saw the reason why Fox News became as big as it was is because it was big enough and powerful enough to say we don't care and mount offensives instead of being on defense all the time.

01:04:19.460 Yeah.

01:04:19.620 I mean, look, it worked for AOL Time Warner could work for us.

01:04:23.440 Wait.

01:04:24.400 Hold it.

01:04:25.240 I'll rethink that one and present it again later.

01:04:27.320 Yeah.

01:04:27.600 Yeah.

01:04:27.840 Let's come back to that.

01:04:28.940 Or, in fact, just forget the whole Daily Blaze TV Wire thing now that I think about it.

01:04:36.400 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:04:38.160 I didn't know that.

01:04:39.300 I haven't seen that yet.

01:04:40.760 My Patriot Supply.

01:04:42.720 I want to talk to you about when an emergency strikes.

01:04:45.120 What's your first impulse?

01:04:47.420 Right?

01:04:48.300 Ah!

01:04:48.660 That's, you know, that's your first one.

01:04:50.960 But then the second one is probably we got to go to the grocery store.

01:04:55.700 We got to get some groceries.

01:04:57.200 Well, the groceries.

01:04:57.980 By the time you stop going.

01:05:00.260 The grocery store is has already been depleted.

01:05:04.320 All right.

01:05:05.000 We are mark my words.

01:05:09.100 History will show that we are already in or at the very beginning of what I believe is World War III.

01:05:15.640 And it's all happening with ones and zeros.

01:05:18.280 That's not me.

01:05:18.840 That's Vladimir Putin.

01:05:20.680 It's all happening with ones and zeros.

01:05:48.020 I'm going to bring on Brad Palumbo.

01:06:05.720 He is the assistant editor for Young Voices, online contributor for the National Review, and he's written an essay for Quillette.

01:06:13.020 If you haven't gone to quillette.com, you need to.

01:06:16.080 There isn't a single time I've checked that website that I haven't found something really fascinating.

01:06:21.800 His essay is one of those, The Political Homeless Life of a Gay Conservative. 0.65

01:06:28.140 And he joins us now.

01:06:30.140 Hello, Brad.

01:06:30.620 How are you?

01:06:31.920 Hey, Glenn.

01:06:32.420 Thanks for having me on.

01:06:33.440 You bet.

01:06:34.200 Thanks for being so honest in your Quillette story.

01:06:37.740 Can you take us through, maybe start here, the guy who broke up with you because he was crying and said he just couldn't date a Republican anymore?

01:06:51.640 Yeah, so I worked on this piece for a long time, right, because I wanted to combine my personal experiences with people I interviewed with broader trends that I observed in the progressive world and in the LGBT media.

01:07:04.720 And it eventually all found its way back to one place.

01:07:08.060 If you identify as conservative but you also happen to be gay, life in neither side of the aisle is particularly comfortable for you. 0.71

01:07:14.900 So for me, that meant that I have experienced, honestly, widespread intolerance from other people in the LGBT community who should understand more than anyone that it's okay to be different.

01:07:25.420 Largely, they don't.

01:07:26.800 So that includes a boyfriend of multiple months who broke up with me in part because he was uncomfortable with my political views, which are by no means radical.

01:07:35.120 They're just not liberal.

01:07:36.380 And that's just another example of intolerance that I've experienced, honestly, too many times to count from left-wing gay people. 0.67

01:07:42.520 Now, Brett, I mean, as a guy who, you know, just was never good on the dating scene at all, that sounds like something that somebody could have said to me.

01:07:56.520 And really, they didn't know anything about my politics.

01:07:59.540 They were just, like, looking for something.

01:08:01.980 You know, it's not you, it's me kind of stuff.

01:08:04.380 Are you sure it wasn't?

01:08:05.760 You know, I'm just throwing this one out here.

01:08:09.400 You're just not my speed.

01:08:10.620 I really don't think so.

01:08:13.540 We had some pretty intense conversations about that.

01:08:16.540 And it's been a recurring theme.

01:08:18.520 You know, when I first started putting myself out there on the dating scene in college, I would have people who would match with me on dating apps or on websites just to tell me to go and kill myself or off myself or that I was disgraced to the community, right, because I was a little bit well-known around campus for my conservative viewpoints and those sorts of things.

01:08:38.440 So because it's been a reoccurring trend, I can tell you that I'm pretty confident it was not just another excuse.

01:08:46.240 So tell me about, because I think there's a lot of people that feel like they don't have a home anywhere.

01:08:51.940 And, you know, when it comes to gay people, you would think that it's a clear match because a conservative should be about the constitutional principles that we have, which basically say, leave me alone.

01:09:07.760 I'm different, and I thought we were supposed to celebrate that I'm different and you're different and we're supposed to get along.

01:09:13.680 That's what the Constitution says.

01:09:15.480 It protects people to be who they are so they can be who they are.

01:09:20.960 And yet, somehow, the Republicans, and it comes from a lot of religious conservatives, have made gay people feel very, very unwelcome.

01:09:34.760 So is that changed?

01:09:36.960 Is that different?

01:09:38.020 How do you deal with the difference between the two parties?

01:09:42.940 Well, so first off, Glenn, I totally agree with you.

01:09:45.140 I think that I'm not personally a huge social conservative, but I do identify as a constitutional conservative for the reasons that you just mentioned.

01:09:52.480 You know, what does the First Amendment do if it doesn't protect your right to think differently, to be different, to have freedom of conscience?

01:09:59.760 And so that's one of the reasons I find the left-wing movement that's moving in on all these freedoms so unappealing.

01:10:06.360 But what I'll say is that it's a combination of two things that creates this political homelessness.

01:10:10.500 In part, it is what you have identified, that there's some lingering intolerance among the conservative movement.

01:10:17.060 I will say, among young Republicans, I've really had extremely welcoming and accepting experiences.

01:10:23.940 But, you know, the reality remains that half of Republicans don't believe in gay marriage.

01:10:28.920 And I don't think that that makes them terrible people or evil or anything.

01:10:32.720 But it does make me, obviously, not fully comfortable with the people who I would otherwise politically largely agree with.

01:10:39.540 And the same thing is true on the opposite side of the spectrum, right?

01:10:47.300 Because the progressive LGBT media ecosystem essentially acts like gay people who aren't liberals don't exist.

01:10:55.040 You know, you go to these websites, QueerTea.com, LGBT Advocate, and Out Magazine,

01:11:01.960 and they have articles praising gun control and bashing Ivanka Trump.

01:11:05.900 And they call this the gay agenda, right? 0.99

01:11:08.020 They're basically acting like all gay people think with their body parts, and we're not individuals. 0.99

01:11:12.060 So they're trying to erase the 20% or so of LGBT people who don't think like that.

01:11:17.900 And for me, that's a huge problem.

01:11:19.680 So let me ask you this, Brad.

01:11:24.440 My stance on gay marriage has been the same since the 90s.

01:11:29.040 I don't care.

01:11:31.160 I mean, it's not my business constitutionally.

01:11:34.600 The government only got into the marriage business to make sure that whites didn't marry blacks or blacks marry white. 0.98

01:11:43.960 So we couldn't mix the races. 0.85

01:11:46.120 And later, it became about undesirables, making sure that we don't create any more undesirables.

01:11:52.500 The reason why government got into marriage in the first place, they're all bad, and they have no place in anybody's marriage. 0.57

01:12:00.960 But as long as if you want to get married, I don't care.

01:12:05.220 If I want to get married, you shouldn't care.

01:12:08.040 But we shouldn't be in people's lives.

01:12:10.700 The problem with conservatives, I think, is there are some that are just like, it's wrong, and God says it's wrong, and that's all there is to it.

01:12:17.740 But there's, I think, a bigger majority of conservatives that say, look, that's them.

01:12:24.920 Whatever you want to do, go ahead.

01:12:27.600 But they're afraid that the gay agenda just wants to shut down all religion, that it's not really about love.

01:12:35.980 Does that make sense?

01:12:36.860 Yeah, it does make sense.

01:12:38.540 I think the position that you're articulating is very intellectually honest.

01:12:41.980 And I think that the people who are still holdouts against gay marriage, I hope that they can kind of come see the light, especially because I try to make the gay marriage argument from a case for family values, right, almost to appeal to conservatives.

01:12:55.280 But I think you hit on something that I do think is partly the own fault of the LGBT community, right? 1.00

01:13:01.480 When you have an LGBT advocate class that does target religion entirely, right, they're not just seeking freedom for to be who you are, to have kids, to get married.

01:13:12.500 They're seeking freedom to force other people, right?

01:13:15.220 Like, for example, Jack Phillips, the baker who didn't want to bake the gay cake. 0.95

01:13:18.820 Correct.

01:13:19.120 The LGBT advocate class has really forced some conservatives to kind of dig in into their trenches because they're not just looking for freedom.

01:13:26.740 They're looking to force their views onto other people, and that's where I think both sides get it wrong because a society that's truly tolerant lets you have the right to be Christian and me have the right to be gay, and we all just live our lives in peace.

01:13:38.340 And we all get along.

01:13:40.120 I mean, you know, we all get along.

01:13:41.480 One other thing, Brad, is how is it, and I say this really with socialists, but also, you know, gay people as well, a group of people, socialists, in Hollywood that had to, were blacklisted, were tried, some of them went to prison, had to live in the closet, either because of their sexuality or because of their political beliefs.

01:14:06.180 Is it just vengeance, or why can they not see they're doing this, they're becoming the monster that they fought against?

01:14:19.000 I'm not sure, honestly.

01:14:20.580 The causes of this kind of veil of intolerance that's sweeping the progressive movement and kind of the LGBT far left crowd, I'm not sure exactly what the cause is.

01:14:30.160 I will say that we have a tendency across our society when there was historic kind of oppression or anything to try to swing back to the, not to the middle, but too far to the other side.

01:14:40.300 And I think that the LGBT advocacy class has no, has not been an exception to that rule.

01:14:45.840 They've absolutely done that because we have to acknowledge the fact that for a long time, LGBT people have really faced some terrible conditions in American history.

01:14:54.180 And I think largely that's not true today, and that's great, but that is probably why I think a lot of these people have swung far to the other extreme.

01:15:02.980 And that's understandable, but it's still fundamentally misguided.

01:15:05.820 And Brad, it seems like the lesson learned a lot of times from these longer struggles with groups that have had tough times in America is to pick a group that they think is helping them, whether it's whatever group in the government, Democrats, Republicans, that they think is helping them, and then kind of stick to that side for a long period of time afterwards.

01:15:26.480 But it seems to me the decision should be made in a way of thinking about collectivism versus individualism.

01:15:34.220 And if you're a minority group or a group that's had troubles with the government in the past, the last thing to me you would want is the government to have more power in a centralized place where whenever X, Y, or Z group decides, you know, the country decides that they're the enemy next time, they're again going to be vulnerable.

01:15:53.340 If we empower people who are individualists, who believe in small government and limited government, to be able to do these things and run the country without making these decisions as to what groups they don't like, isn't that just better for everybody?

01:16:07.340 Yeah, I could not agree with you more there, because one thing that drives me crazy is the same LGBT progressive advocates who will tell you the government is viciously oppressive are the same ones who want to take everyone's guns away. 0.88

01:16:19.040 To the point that I'm saying, it makes perfect sense to me, right?

01:16:23.040 If you really think that the government has a history of being oppressive to certain groups, and I do, then you should want that government to be as small as possible, because clearly it's shown that it can't handle widespread power.

01:16:33.300 So I would love to see more LGBT people applying the lens of their experiences really to the question of today of how much can we really let people go and start running people's lives, because individualism really is the ethos of my personal philosophy, and honestly, it should be that for more gay people.

01:16:52.380 So how can people like us, or just regular people who are just listening, who are not members of the gay community, how can we help bridge a gap? What can we do?

01:17:06.840 Well, so it starts with a couple things. It can be hard at times to reach the other side when they feel trapped into this us-versus-them mentality, which is in part driven by kind of the identitarian dogma of intersectionality on the left.

01:17:20.460 But it's also, I think, driven by when you have high-profile conservatives who will say, or high-profile conservative media who will sometimes say or make comments or take positions about LGBT issues that are just either inflammatory and unfair or needlessly controversial.

01:17:41.220 For example, I mean, if you're going to have traditional views about gender, I can respect that position. 0.84

01:17:46.480 But if you go out of your way to whenever you're debating it with somebody, tell them that they're mentally deranged, right, with a transgender person, you're being needlessly antagonistic, and you're turning other people off from, I think, just your entire political movement with that. 0.99

01:18:00.180 So I think you can have the views you're going to have, but it's about taking an approach where you can try to meet people in the middle and try to make arguments that will appeal to them and won't activate their us-versus-them mentality.

01:18:11.380 I tell you, Brad, I don't know if you've ever read this.

01:18:14.240 My dad made me read it when I was in high school, and I read it begrudgingly, and I picked it up recently.

01:18:20.440 And it has all of the answers we need.

01:18:23.940 It really does, even though it was written in, you know, the Great Depression.

01:18:27.940 It's how to win friends and influence people.

01:18:30.020 And basically, it just said what it says, what you just said, just said, why not listen to other people, see what they're feeling, see what they need, see how you can help and just help them, help them.

01:18:45.660 And, you know, and be comfortable with that.

01:18:50.560 And then, all of a sudden, you'll notice, wait a minute, my life has changed somehow or another, because you're just being cool with everybody and really listening to them.

01:19:02.060 Brad, thank you so much for your article, and thanks for being on the program.

01:19:06.880 Yeah, thanks for having me.

01:19:07.960 You bet.

01:20:02.480 I remember talking to him back then.

01:20:04.140 Yeah, that's when we were at Fox.

01:20:05.580 And I was talking to him yesterday and don't know what the card is that's going to be played.

01:21:45.700 We're going to talk about H.R.

01:21:47.700 eight.

01:21:48.600 H.R.

01:21:49.120 eight is what the Congress passed yesterday.

01:21:53.840 The House of Representatives passed a a a bill yesterday that that is common sense bipartisan gun reform.

01:22:06.240 No, it's not.

01:22:08.000 It's neither common sense.

01:22:10.400 Nor is it really bipartisan.

01:22:12.980 This is a this is a ruse.

01:22:16.020 This is they pass it one piece at a time.

01:22:19.680 They're passing this now with one piece.

01:22:23.560 Here's this one piece.

01:22:24.680 Look how harmless this is.

01:22:26.400 Oh, here's this other piece.

01:22:27.520 Look how harmless this is.

01:22:28.580 When you snap everything together, it's total control of your gun.

01:22:33.200 And for the moment, this shouldn't go past the House, right?

01:22:35.480 I mean, certainly I would.

01:22:36.640 If this goes through the Republicans, they are absolutely worthless.

01:22:41.760 I would assume even if it did get through the Senate somehow, Trump would veto it.

01:22:45.300 There's no way he wouldn't veto this.

01:22:47.200 So I don't think this is going to happen.

01:22:48.600 But this is a warning of what will come if they are able to sweep the presidency and the Senate in 2020.

01:22:56.260 In 2020, we could be rightless.

01:23:00.220 And I'm not.

01:23:01.600 That's no hyperbole.

01:23:02.720 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:23:05.680 I don't think so.

01:24:28.060 H.R.

01:24:28.600 H.R. 8.

01:24:30.480 I need to tell you a story because Democrats know it's all about the story.

01:26:25.960 Now, I want to take you back in time to a story that you know.

01:26:45.000 But I'm going to put all the pieces together.

01:26:47.040 Let me take you back to September 25, 2017.

01:26:49.500 A man checked into a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

01:26:57.040 He had made several trips.

01:26:59.420 He had timed it out.

01:27:00.780 He had made sure nobody had noticed that he was taking 10 range bags full of guns and ammunition up into that room.

01:27:07.880 He did it over six days.

01:27:10.420 And on the sixth day, he opened fire on people that were at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival.

01:27:20.760 He killed 85 people.

01:27:23.980 He wounded 851 others.

01:27:27.820 The deadliest mass shooting committed by one person in U.S. history.

01:27:31.880 Then, he turned the gun on himself.

01:27:39.940 When police investigated his room, they found 23 rifles and one handgun.

01:27:47.540 They found 14 .223 caliber AR-15 type rifles.

01:27:52.700 Eight .308 caliber AR-10.

01:27:55.960 One .308 caliber bolt action.

01:27:58.880 One .38 caliber revolver.

01:28:01.880 And on the kitchen counter next to his hotel room, there were four credit cards.

01:28:10.040 That's really what this story is about.

01:28:13.960 Not the guns, but the credit cards.

01:28:16.960 To understand what is coming now, you have to understand Andrew Ross Sorkin and what he saw when he saw the credit cards.

01:28:29.080 Listen.

01:28:29.240 After Parkland, the shooting in Parkland and trying to look at the role that banks and credit cards play in these things,

01:28:36.740 I really decided to take a deep dive into this.

01:28:39.940 The article is called Devastating Arsenals Bought with Plastic and Nary a Red Flag.

01:28:45.600 It is a New York Times investigation that looks at mass shootings, every single major mass shooting in America since Virginia Tech in 2007.

01:28:52.480 And it really reveals how credit cards have become such a crucial part of the planning of these massacres in a way that I have to say I did not even appreciate myself.

01:29:01.540 The article is written by Andrew Ross Sorkin, works for the New York Times.

01:29:10.160 Now, something tells me he's never fired a gun in his life.

01:29:12.920 But when he wrote the article, how banks unwittingly finance mass shootings in the New York Times.

01:29:19.540 It's time to pay attention.

01:29:24.740 He starts by pointing out that there have been 13 shootings that have killed 10 or more people in the last decade.

01:29:29.960 And in at least eight of them, the killers financed their attacks using credit cards.

01:29:34.360 Virginia Tech, Binghamton in 2009, Fort Hood, Aurora, San Bernardino, Orlando, Sutherland Springs and Vegas.

01:29:42.800 And he pointed out that over the course of eight months before the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, the shooter opened six new credit card accounts just 12 days before the shooting.

01:29:54.000 He spent twenty six thousand five hundred thirty two dollars on a Sig Sauer MCX two two three caliber rifle and a Glock 17 nine millimeter semi automatic pistol and several large magazines.

01:30:07.400 He also bought thousands of rounds of ammunition, and then he went out and bought a seventy five hundred dollar ring for his wife that he bought on a jewelry store card.

01:30:20.060 Should the bank have allowed him to do that?

01:30:23.800 Because before that month, he spent about a thousand fifteen hundred dollars a month.

01:30:27.800 The difference was so dramatic that two days before the shooting.

01:30:33.840 The the killer frantically searched Google for credit card unusual spending and credit card reports all three bureaus.

01:30:41.620 He searched FBI and why banks stop your purchases.

01:30:47.000 So should Google have alerted anyone?

01:30:49.860 The the killer in Aurora, Colorado, the movie theater, spent eleven thousand dollars on guns and ammunition, all on a credit card.

01:31:00.740 The issue now has revealed a split between the banks and credit card companies.

01:31:06.520 On one side, there are companies that support monitoring as a form of public safety.

01:31:12.080 Following the shooting in Parkland, Florida, Citigroup adopted a new code of conduct for gun dealers and manufacturers

01:31:18.940 that the bank does business with.

01:31:21.460 It requires retailers to impose age limit restrictions on gun sales.

01:31:26.900 That is against the Constitution.

01:31:29.500 There is no law.

01:31:31.120 But Citigroup has said, well, you know what?

01:31:34.240 This is what we want to do as a company.

01:31:36.660 And have they received any pushback from the general population?

01:31:42.000 Check your credit cards.

01:31:43.040 Do you have a city card?

01:31:44.860 Do you do business with Citibank?

01:31:46.200 Do you think the left would be doing business with Citibank if this was reversed?

01:31:51.800 If Citibank said we're not going to do any transactions or any financial services with any doctors that will not support abortion?

01:32:01.560 Do you think the left would have Citibank's attention yet?

01:32:06.400 CEO Michael Corbett said the policy, quote, is intended to preserve the rights of responsible gun owners like myself while relying on best sales practices to keep firearms out of the wrong hands.

01:32:20.440 The new policy does not restrict Citigroup customers from using the company's cards from gun purchases.

01:32:28.520 Bank of America took similar approach.

01:32:30.900 They stopped giving loans to gun manufacturers.

01:32:40.020 Overwhelmingly, however, good news is banks and credit card companies have refused to take part in any kind of monitoring.

01:32:46.480 So you have Bank of America and Citigroup.

01:32:50.120 Do you do business with either of those?

01:32:52.020 Remember, the left, if they were told, no, no, no, it's not the whole doctor thing.

01:32:57.880 No, it's just if they if they say that a minor can have an abortion. 0.96

01:33:05.460 I mean, after they're after they're 18 or 21, that's fine.

01:33:09.040 But if they if those people are saying they can have an abortion without their parents permission under 18.

01:33:15.240 Why, we're not going to do any financing for that organization.

01:33:19.000 Do you think the left would put up with that?

01:33:21.840 Now, even if the banks and the credit card companies agreed to start monitoring purchases, gun sales are tough to track because they many times appear on statements as, you know, sporting goods or retail shop purchases, you know, places like retail or like Walmart, et cetera, et cetera.

01:33:40.300 Sometimes discount stores, it'll just be marked variety.

01:33:43.680 So who knows what that is?

01:33:46.380 And then there are stores like Dick's Sporting Goods that imposed restrictions on their gun sales.

01:33:51.400 How'd that work out for them?

01:33:54.620 Now, Joseph Moreno, he's a former federal counterterrorism prosecutor, staff member of the FBI's 9-11 Review Commission.

01:34:03.120 He says this is easy to fix.

01:34:05.500 He said they have all the infrastructure in place.

01:34:08.280 They can deal with suspicious activity.

01:34:10.380 It would just be tweaking it a bit to consider firearm related information and information is the key word information.

01:34:21.300 Why does Google have anything in your house with a microphone for information?

01:34:26.580 You think you're getting information?

01:34:28.840 No, they're getting much more information about you.

01:34:33.060 Facebook.

01:34:34.080 It's all about information.

01:34:36.320 We are living in surveillance capitalism times.

01:34:41.400 Information is the key word.

01:34:44.880 Now, there's lots of things that already happen.

01:34:48.160 For instance, a bank has to report anytime a single person makes a transaction over $10,000.

01:34:54.120 I'm going to put $10,000 cash into my account.

01:34:56.300 I'm going to take $10,000 out.

01:34:58.840 Whether the transaction is legal or not, they have to report it.

01:35:01.860 And banks must report the transactions over $5,000 if somebody just has a feeling that's suspicious.

01:35:09.660 There are also laws that restrict gun purchases.

01:35:12.460 Under the Gun Control Act of 1968, firearms dealers must report if someone buys two or more handguns in a span of five business days.

01:35:22.860 There's also a lot of official blowback from the idea that the banks could monitor our purchases, effectively compiling a list of all the gun owners.

01:35:32.300 Last year, John Kennedy, not that John Kennedy, a Republican senator from Louisiana, introduced the No Red and No Blue Banks Act.

01:35:45.080 The bill would prohibit the federal government from giving contracts to banks that would discriminate against lawful businesses based solely on social policy considerations.

01:35:57.260 Even the ACLU has come out against monitoring by credit card companies, saying that those efforts they are afraid to prevent mass shootings could infringe on individual rights.

01:36:10.620 Do you think?

01:36:12.700 Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst at the ACLU, the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, he says,

01:36:20.580 quote, the implications, the implication of expecting the government to detect and prevent every mass shooting is believing the government should play an enormously intrusive role in American life, end quote.

01:36:36.440 Which brings us back to Andrew Ross Sorkin's New York Times article.

01:36:41.760 Sorkin doesn't seem convinced by any of this stuff.

01:36:45.160 He would prefer if the government stepped in and forced credit card companies to start monitoring their customers or at least the credit card companies that, you know, made that choice of their own volition.

01:37:00.380 Listen to this and interview with him on PBS.

01:37:03.560 So right now.

01:37:05.380 Legally, you decide you're going to send $10,000 anywhere that gets reported to the government instantly, instantly already does.

01:37:12.560 So we could instantly have reported this person just stockpiled $40,000 worth of weapons and grenades.

01:37:22.160 Now, he then starts to take it in a strange direction.

01:37:26.780 By the way, the credit card industry has on its own volition decided that there are certain things they don't want to finance.

01:37:32.160 So if you want to buy Bitcoin, you can't.

01:37:35.100 Marijuana in many states is legal.

01:37:37.520 You can't.

01:37:38.340 But MasterCard, interestingly, recently went to a website that had some hate speech on it and said, we're no longer going to allow you to use credit card transactions using MasterCard because of this hate speech.

01:37:51.520 So there are companies that are taking positions, if you will, on some of these things.

01:37:55.800 And the question is how that can work in relation to guns.

01:37:58.200 Now, so he's I guess he's all for the hate speech, by the way, that hate speech was not hate speech.

01:38:05.520 That hate speech came from a friend of mine and a friend of this program.

01:38:09.680 That hate speech was speaking out about the Muslim Brotherhood and not in hateful ways.

01:38:15.320 A guy who used to brief Bill Clinton and George W. Bush on what Islamicists really want. 1.00

01:38:27.240 Now, he's called a hater.

01:38:29.420 And so now they're not going to do any transactions for him.

01:38:32.880 That's hate speech.

01:38:37.780 Sorkin's article quotes a number of experts who more or less repeat a version of the same thing.

01:38:42.540 Card credit card company should bear responsibility for mass shootings.

01:38:50.380 Now, what does this have to do with H.R.

01:38:53.520 eight?

01:38:55.520 I continue the story in one minute.

01:39:02.640 Our sponsor is a filter by.

01:39:05.380 I know nothing about how to maintain a home.

01:39:10.160 Nothing.

01:39:10.800 Sink is leaking.

01:39:14.040 I don't know.

01:39:14.620 Is there a little knob thing underneath there that we change?

01:39:16.820 Usually the knob thing is the change that you want to make.

01:39:19.040 Yeah.

01:39:19.120 Right.

01:39:19.440 And change the knob.

01:39:20.460 Twist the knob.

01:39:21.840 If you pull it, the hammer's a good tool.

01:39:23.820 Yeah.

01:39:23.980 If you go in there and you start hitting things, a lot of times it just fixes itself.

01:39:26.600 And it can't be fixed with a hammer or duct tape.

01:39:28.360 It can't be fixed.

01:39:29.540 It just can't be fixed.

01:39:30.200 I would say that's accurate.

01:39:30.700 Sell the house.

01:39:31.540 Anyway, filter by.

01:39:33.040 Filter by is one thing that we can all do.

01:39:35.760 Except I never have because I never think about it.

01:39:39.660 I forget all the time.

01:39:40.920 And I just, I got to run to Home Depot and get a filter.

01:39:44.620 What?

01:39:45.360 I just leave it in there.

01:39:46.280 And then what happens is like if they get, they kind of like clogged up, then moisture

01:39:49.640 clogs up there and then mold forms.

01:39:52.480 And then you have all sorts of problems.

01:39:54.060 All sorts of problems.

01:39:54.840 So here's the thing.

01:39:55.660 Go to filter by filter by dot com.

01:39:57.720 They have sizes for, you know, elephant sized filters and whatever fits in your home.

01:40:03.140 They're all made here in America. 0.99

01:40:05.340 It's this great story about how this company retooled and they just didn't want to let go

01:40:09.860 of this, this old company that had been in town forever.

01:40:13.440 Didn't want to lay off the workers and didn't want to lose all these jobs.

01:40:16.940 So they said, what could we make?

01:40:19.200 And they decided we can make air filters and we can make them better than anybody else.

01:40:24.420 And we can get them to the customer in an easy way.

01:40:28.700 And you'll save 5% if you sign up for auto renewal.

01:40:33.100 There's just, there's nothing.

01:40:34.240 I mean, this is just a win, win, win, win all the way around.

01:40:36.700 It's filter by dot com.

01:40:38.580 Change your filters now and don't ever have to think about it again.

01:40:42.940 Filter by dot com.

01:40:44.620 That's filter by dot com.

01:40:47.360 10 seconds station ID.

01:40:49.200 OK, there's one thing about making the debate about guns harder, and that is the media does

01:41:07.100 such a bad job of actually giving you the facts without pushing their own agenda, which

01:41:12.300 is uniformly left leaning.

01:41:14.180 People hear the message over and over and over again, and you start to think, well, that's

01:41:18.220 an accurate portrayal.

01:41:19.260 So when they say, oh, this is common sense gun legislation, they think that that is that

01:41:24.540 the worst thing that happens is they start to think that's the truth.

01:41:27.840 This causes a trend called the spiral of silence.

01:41:31.800 The idea that people holding views contrary to those dominant in the media are moved to keep

01:41:38.660 those views to themselves for fear of rejection, unaware that there are plenty of like minded

01:41:44.880 people all around them who also feel alienated by the predominantly liberal voice of the media.

01:41:51.220 That's why we started the 912 project.

01:41:53.580 We started it because you're not alone.

01:41:57.780 See how many people feel exactly like you do.

01:42:00.660 The news media is very powerful and the voice of the media seems to be everywhere and they can select

01:42:07.340 and maintain the narratives at will.

01:42:09.740 They can impose values, often the values of the journalists that are writing the stories.

01:42:14.720 And this imposition of silence amounts to a kind of authoritarianism that violates free speech

01:42:21.940 and all of the principles of America.

01:42:25.060 The New York Times, this article, no exception.

01:42:27.980 As you might expect, Sorkin's article subtly makes it clear which side he and the New York

01:42:32.920 Times are on.

01:42:34.220 Here he is again in the PBS interview as he reveals that this is not a news story, but rather a social

01:42:41.760 justice issue.

01:42:43.080 Listen, right after I started writing about this after Parkland, the good news was a number

01:42:49.540 of banks actually did take a step back.

01:42:51.560 A Bank of America Citigroup said, you know what?

01:42:53.420 We're no longer going to finance gun manufacturers.

01:42:57.000 So the next question is, do you want to finance effectively the shooters?

01:43:03.960 So let's let's let's look at that here.

01:43:07.200 The column suggested that financial firms had an opportunity to help reduce

01:43:12.880 violence by pushing for more responsibility practices for the gun industry.

01:43:17.580 And as a result, some banks ended their relationships with gun makers and some investors push

01:43:23.940 manufacturers for more transparency.

01:43:26.020 Well, he's also leaving out the fact that the governor of New York also said, hey, by the

01:43:31.620 way, if you're going to do business with gun manufacturing, it's just it's just a lot

01:43:36.540 easier for us.

01:43:38.300 We're going to need to bring in some more auditors and think because those guys can be a little

01:43:42.220 sketchy sometimes.

01:43:43.120 Not all of them, but some.

01:43:44.740 So if you're doing any, just let us know, because we're going to have to view you with a little

01:43:49.660 more scrutiny.

01:43:52.420 Well, what does that tell you?

01:43:54.600 That if you just don't as a business, just don't get involved.

01:43:57.920 Just don't get involved.

01:44:01.300 Now.

01:44:01.700 I'm going to leave you with this quote, and then I'm going to show you how it all connects.

01:44:08.780 We need to step back and think about what tools we use to combat terrorism and money laundering

01:44:14.340 and think about the financial rules associated with the Patriot Act.

01:44:19.620 In a really very in a very real sense, I think these mass shooting events are terrorism.

01:44:27.400 So what is that telling you?

01:44:36.120 These are these are death machines.

01:44:39.080 These are these these semi-automatic, fully semi-automatic machine guns.

01:44:48.560 I know we could spend an hour just parsing that sentence, how that doesn't work.

01:44:53.440 Think of the children.

01:44:57.400 This is what is happening, and it is called your loss of financial rights that nobody even

01:45:11.020 talks about.

01:45:12.140 But if you can stop someone's speech by putting them behind a digital ghetto wall where they 0.86

01:45:20.840 can't process anybody's credit card, where they can't do any final financial transactions,

01:45:27.960 you don't have to ban them.

01:45:30.280 They just disappear.

01:45:32.840 Now, how does this working with the gun manufacturers and gun stores trying to stop their financial

01:45:41.620 services?

01:45:42.560 How does that relate to what was just passed yesterday with H.R.

01:45:46.680 8?

01:45:46.980 I'll tell you when we come back.

01:45:50.680 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:45:53.280 You have to be self-reliant.

01:45:55.000 There are so many things right now.

01:45:57.000 Did you know that the banks changed the rules to where you're the lender of of last resort?

01:46:02.840 So you're the last in line.

01:46:04.680 If they go bankrupt, you're not getting you're not getting your money out of the bank.

01:46:08.500 They can they can declare and say, no, we had financial issues.

01:46:11.220 We had to take your savings and we had to apply it over here to one of our debts.

01:46:15.800 That's that's that's the common sense bipartisan changes that Congress made for the banks to

01:46:23.180 save the the banking institutes institutions.

01:46:26.960 You now are the backstop.

01:46:30.080 They're too big to fail, but you're not.

01:46:31.740 You're not.

01:46:32.400 Now, here's the thing.

01:46:33.440 You've got to have your risk spread out.

01:46:35.980 Just please call GoldLine 1-866-GOLDLINE.

01:46:40.720 They're standing by.

01:46:42.000 Just ask them for information on what the banks have done and and how you can invest in gold.

01:46:48.520 They'll send you all this information and you'll be able to do your own homework.

01:46:52.580 866-GOLDLINE.

01:46:54.660 The Second Amendment is being fought in other ways than the typical ones.

01:46:59.180 We're going through that now with how the financing industry is taking it on.

01:47:02.420 Coming up.

01:47:02.680 I want to talk to you a little bit about guns and why H.R.

01:47:09.140 8 and today Peter King is introducing another gun ban bill, another gun control bill.

01:47:16.400 It's H.R.

01:47:17.560 1112.

01:47:18.820 I'll tell you about that here in a second.

01:47:20.520 But what what I just set up was how the New York Times columnists and how others, including now the governor of New York, is pressuring these financial institutions based in New York.

01:47:37.620 Citigroup, MasterCard, all of these all of these people, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo.

01:47:46.080 That look, if you're going to do business with gun stores, gun manufacturers, you're going to help, you know, these what do you call them?

01:47:59.100 The gun conventions.

01:48:01.160 That's not convention.

01:48:02.300 You know where they do the gun sales, the gun shows.

01:48:04.980 If you're going to do any help in any of the transactions and take any credit cards at the gun shows, then we can't help you.

01:48:13.080 We don't want to finance you.

01:48:14.560 We don't want to we don't want to have financial services.

01:48:17.680 And the American people who believe in the Second Amendment still do businesses, the business with Citigroup, still do business with MasterCard.

01:48:31.280 Then you are giving them the rope to hang yourself with.

01:48:35.600 They're going to hang you with it.

01:48:38.440 They already are.

01:48:39.720 Now, yesterday, the White House says it's against both of these bills, but yesterday they passed H.R. 8.

01:48:50.480 Now, what is H.R. 8?

01:48:52.640 H.R. 8 is common sense bipartisan legislation that says you have to have an expanded background check.

01:49:02.800 Now, this expanded background check means that if you want to buy a gun privately.

01:49:10.380 Now, this is going to sound like common sense.

01:49:12.480 If you want to buy a gun from a friend or whatever, you have to go to a gun store and have the gun store or the manufacturer.

01:49:23.400 Do the the check for you and they have to process it, even if it is, you know, even if it's just between two two friends.

01:49:31.800 It's like I want to go over and borrow a cup of flour.

01:49:35.740 OK, well, I got to go over to the bakery.

01:49:39.700 So get in the car with me.

01:49:41.060 We're going to go to the bakery and they're going to measure the flour and they're going to do a big background check.

01:49:45.640 The banker loves it when he gets to waste his day weighing somebody else's flour, doing all the background check.

01:49:53.780 He's going to charge us a buttload of money to do it because it's a pain in the ass that he gets nothing out of.

01:49:59.360 We have to go to the bakery real quick and then I can loan you that flour or give you that flour.

01:50:04.700 That's insanity.

01:50:07.200 But it's common sense.

01:50:09.060 OK, let's say it is.

01:50:11.240 Well, what happens when you pass a law that says you cannot do it without the gun manufacturer or the gun store being involved?

01:50:22.020 And then on the other side, you have financial institutions no longer giving loans or doing any financial transactions for manufacturers or gun stores.

01:50:36.420 How are you going to get your gun?

01:50:39.800 How are you going to do it?

01:50:41.140 They've closed all the loopholes.

01:50:45.740 You want to talk about a gun loophole?

01:50:48.360 It's this.

01:50:50.220 Now, here's what the bill that Peter King, a Republican, has sponsored today.

01:50:56.200 It's a enhanced background check.

01:50:59.400 Twenty nineteen.

01:51:00.740 It's going to be voted on the House today.

01:51:04.160 It has 15 co-sponsors.

01:51:06.180 Only one of them is a Republican.

01:51:07.660 It's Peter King of New York, and that bill will extend the amount of time firearms dealers must wait for a response from the background check system before the sale can proceed from three days to 20 days.

01:51:24.540 Well, that's what's happening with technology.

01:51:26.600 Glenn, it's getting harder and harder for computers to communicate with each other slower and slower and slower.

01:51:31.500 Could take up to 20 days to get a response on that one.

01:51:33.840 I know you don't know.

01:51:34.660 You don't know.

01:51:35.260 You can't run a background check to see if anybody's been arrested that fast.

01:51:39.040 No, it's impossible.

01:51:39.980 You can't do that.

01:51:40.840 That's why it used to take three days back in the days when technology was good.

01:51:44.640 But now it's 20 days.

01:51:45.980 So when the Obama administration was in, and this happened during the Clinton administration, and gun store owners, correct me if I'm wrong, they would wait the full three days.

01:51:58.220 The system is down.

01:52:01.460 Oh, we're having problems with the computers.

01:52:03.220 Oh, this is happening.

01:52:04.500 Oh, this is happening.

01:52:06.080 The minute, the minute George Bush got into office, magically those were fixed.

01:52:11.840 And then it started happening again, strangely, as soon as Obama got in.

01:52:19.960 They are going to use those 20 days.

01:52:22.740 They are going to make it a hassle in every possible way.

01:52:26.960 They are closing down all of the avenues.

01:52:32.420 They're also talking about a tax on your bullets.

01:52:37.620 So they will price everybody out of it.

01:52:40.780 So only drug dealers would even be able to buy bullets.

01:52:43.960 Only rich people would be able to buy bullets. 0.89

01:52:46.400 But the people that the drug dealers are killing on the streets, they won't have the opportunity to defend themselves.

01:52:52.940 They won't be able to afford it.

01:52:54.500 Yeah, I was watching a movie on the worst mass shooting in history, and you might think it was the one in Vegas.

01:53:02.080 But no, well, actually, technically, about the first 10,000 worst mass shootings in history are all responsible by large governments.

01:53:09.460 So I should throw those out, by an individual in Norway.

01:53:13.720 You may remember this.

01:53:14.760 Yes.

01:53:15.120 The guy who went on, he first of all set off a bomb in downtown, in the downtown to try to kill the prime minister.

01:53:22.300 And then took a boat over to an island where they were having a retreat.

01:53:27.300 It was like a camp for kids of really rich parents, basically, and went and slaughtered 69 of them at one big time when there was really nobody over there.

01:53:38.880 And it was interesting to see that.

01:53:39.880 First of all, somehow this guy was able to get the guns and bullets that he needed in Norway, where they have much more restrictive laws.

01:53:49.520 It's almost impossible to get guns over there.

01:53:51.440 And somehow he was able to do that and still kill a bunch of people.

01:53:55.280 And yes, it was an island.

01:53:57.640 So he did have a separation there.

01:54:00.900 However, you know, you'd wonder if people were more likely to be armed, whether anyone could pull something like this off.

01:54:08.080 You know, there's no guns.

01:54:09.300 He knew going over there he was going to have no resistance whatsoever.

01:54:12.560 Now, a lot of them, there were counselors and there was people who were running the camp, a lot of them.

01:54:15.960 If you try to do that in Texas, most likely one of them, even at a camp, is going to have a firearm, unless, of course, the government has told them it's a no-gun zone and they can't go into it.

01:54:26.920 But like there was no, there was no gun law that stopped that.

01:54:31.900 There was no person to put up a defense.

01:54:35.160 It was basically just a bunch of kids running for their lives on an island.

01:54:40.000 And that does not turn out well.

01:54:41.560 So I want to tell you part of a personal story here and ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.

01:54:51.160 My family in the last couple of weeks have has gone through a significant scare security wise and significant, probably one of a bigger scare than we've had in a very long time.

01:55:08.880 Wow. Really?

01:55:10.620 And so we had a gun discussion in our family and one of my daughters is in love with two of my daughters and love with shooting and everything else.

01:55:22.600 My other daughter just doesn't like it. 1.00

01:55:25.240 She just doesn't feel comfortable around it and she never has.

01:55:28.220 And I've never pushed it.

01:55:29.420 I mean, if you're not comfortable around it and you don't want to do it, I'm not going to force you to do it.

01:55:33.780 That's bad.

01:55:35.620 You have to you have to take on the responsibility to have a gun and to have that responsibility.

01:55:41.140 You have to want to do it.

01:55:43.060 Well, this scared our family so deeply.

01:55:46.060 We were all at the gun range, including that daughter.

01:55:50.540 And she's never really got.

01:55:53.520 I think she's gone shooting with us once and she shot maybe once and then she stepped away.

01:55:57.420 She's like, I don't want this.

01:55:58.460 Her her fear has always been of I'm not responsible enough to have a gun.

01:56:06.080 OK, and and I think that's a really good position.

01:56:10.260 If you don't get fear to have a good fear to have.

01:56:12.720 And I explained to her because she fought and she's a really she's a really good shot. 0.90

01:56:18.280 She was shooting and she stopped after like 10 or 12 pulls and she said, Dad, I said, how are you doing, honey?

01:56:28.400 And she said, I'm just I'm just I'm freaked out.

01:56:30.940 I'm I'm afraid.

01:56:32.260 And I said, because it's a deadly weapon.

01:56:36.440 She said, yes.

01:56:38.200 And I said, well.

01:56:41.080 A couple of examples, I'll share one.

01:56:43.780 Do you remember the first time you drove a car?

01:56:45.680 How freaked out you were when you first drove a car?

01:56:50.360 Because all of these things were happening and any of them, you could either wreck the car, kill yourself or kill somebody else.

01:56:57.040 Remember how freaked you were the first time you drove with people walking around your car?

01:57:03.020 You were kind of in a crowd and you had to kind of drive through.

01:57:06.320 Remember how freaked out you were?

01:57:08.220 You're not now because you have the experience with it.

01:57:11.600 You know what you're doing.

01:57:13.860 So you have to get past that.

01:57:17.840 So after we were done, I took her to the gun store and and we all got guns.

01:57:24.240 And she said we were standing there looking at all of these weapons.

01:57:28.600 And she said, Dad, what is the difference?

01:57:32.720 I mean, look at that.

01:57:33.940 Look at that rifle.

01:57:35.840 What is what is that rifle?

01:57:38.200 And I said, that's a that's a modern sporting rifle.

01:57:44.340 She said, no, no, no.

01:57:45.580 The one that's black and has all this stuff.

01:57:47.840 I said, yeah, it's a modern sporting rifle.

01:57:51.640 She said, no, that one is a sporting rifle.

01:57:54.660 And it was a gun that was green, you know, and looked like an old rifle.

01:57:58.980 And I said, what's the difference between those two?

01:58:04.740 I don't know.

01:58:06.280 And I said, that's the media.

01:58:08.820 That is the media.

01:58:10.880 You know, the difference is brought the gun guy over.

01:58:14.020 You tell me the difference.

01:58:15.680 Yeah.

01:58:16.360 The packaging.

01:58:18.420 You know, this one has wood.

01:58:20.400 That one doesn't.

01:58:20.980 It's all in the media, scaring people on what these guns do.

01:58:29.380 And if you understand and you have the right attitude, as she did and as my family does,

01:58:35.640 you should be afraid of guns.

01:58:37.960 They do kill.

01:58:39.420 That's why you have one in your hand.

01:58:41.740 You can talk about sports all you like.

01:58:43.580 And I am a sport shooter.

01:58:44.700 I love sport shooting.

01:58:46.580 But that's not why I have a gun.

01:58:48.620 And that's why it's not in.

01:58:49.680 It's in the Constitution, not for sports shooting.

01:58:54.420 So you have a gun and that's what it is designed to do.

01:58:59.680 And you should be afraid of it.

01:59:01.440 But a healthy fear of it that makes you responsible.

01:59:05.820 Right.

01:59:05.920 There's a lot of irrational fear about guns.

01:59:08.480 Right.

01:59:08.820 I mean, you know, especially if you grow up.

01:59:10.400 I mean, again, I grew up in the Northeast in Connecticut where guns are just not, you know,

01:59:14.440 there's not a lot of people have them.

01:59:15.700 It's not really the culture there, at least where I lived.

01:59:17.500 And it takes a long time for you to even think about, like, when you would see someone with a gun, it's so foreign to you.

01:59:25.920 In a giant chunks of the country, you know, where tens of millions of people live, they never see anyone carrying a gun.

01:59:33.660 No.

01:59:33.800 And so when they see it, they freak out.

01:59:35.700 We make fun of these people all the time that report, you know, individuals that look suspicious and they're just carrying a gun.

01:59:41.240 Like, that's actually a right in the Constitution, but it's so foreign to so much of the country.

01:59:45.300 And in some of the parts of the country, and they don't understand it, parts of the country, somebody wearing a gun is like, that woman over there has a purse. 0.97

01:59:52.160 Right.

01:59:53.060 Yeah.

01:59:54.180 We're in Texas.

01:59:55.340 Yeah.

01:59:56.060 She's got a person. 0.87

01:59:56.740 I bet she's got a gun in there as well. 1.00

01:59:59.020 Just be aware that these gun grabbers are, after your gun, common sense from the left.

02:00:08.500 There is no common sense anymore from the left.

02:00:11.000 They're also studying reparations.

02:00:14.580 Understand who you're dealing with.

02:00:16.100 And quite honestly, if you're with Citigroup, why are you still with Citigroup?

02:00:23.420 Any of these companies that are banning voices or banning constitutional rights, what are you doing?

02:00:30.500 Relief factor.

02:00:31.300 If you are in constant pain, I want you to know you're not alone.

02:00:35.180 If you have been suffering from neck or back or whatever it is, inflammation is the biggest key.

02:00:43.420 And we eat so much crap that inflammation is a part of our life.

02:00:47.680 And that just makes things so bad.

02:00:50.720 If you can reduce the inflammation in your body, many times your pain is lessened to a tolerable level or goes away.

02:01:00.880 This is a 100% drug-free, created by doctors, pill that you take three times a day.

02:01:07.160 It's actually, I think, three pills.

02:01:08.500 You take them three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

02:01:10.700 And I'm telling you, greatly reduces your pain.
