The Glenn Beck Program - 'Logic Over Emotion'？

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

00:00:08.160 Jared wants to be your friend.

00:00:13.880 If you're on Facebook, you've probably gotten a friend request or message from an old high school classmate you didn't quite remember.

00:00:23.060 Out of the blue, Jared wrote and thanked a woman for being the only person to ever say hello.

00:00:30.420 Or be nice to him in school.

00:00:33.280 She didn't remember him, so he sent pictures.

00:00:36.900 She googled him and found a yearbook picture and realized they apparently did go to high school together.

00:00:43.000 He was having some problems, so she wrote back and tried to help, suggesting a counseling center.

00:00:49.200 I just thought I was being friendly, she said.

00:00:52.900 The emails started in late 2009 or early 2010.

00:00:56.340 She can't remember exactly because it was only a few months later that they grew disturbing and she started documenting things.

00:01:04.480 At first, she felt bad for him, so she shared some personal information and offered advice.

00:01:09.500 But when it seemed to me that he was turning into something that gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach,

00:01:17.140 that he seems to think that there's some sort of relationship here that does not exist,

00:01:22.400 I tried to slowly back away from it.

00:01:26.260 And he just started getting angry and vulgar to the point that I had to tell him to stop.

00:01:32.760 And he was not okay with that.

00:01:35.520 He would send me things and basically tell me,

00:01:38.600 you're going to need a restraining order now.

00:01:41.400 You can't make me stop.

00:01:43.240 I know all these things about you.

00:01:45.680 I'm going to tell everyone about your life.

00:01:48.960 An email in April 2010 said,

00:01:51.520 have another drink.

00:01:52.940 Go hang yourself, you cowardly little lush.

00:01:56.420 Don't contact you again?

00:01:58.200 I don't give an...

00:02:00.020 expletive.

00:02:01.580 F you.

00:02:02.020 Later that month, the woman was suddenly put on probation at the bank where she worked.

00:02:10.280 She said a supervisor told her it was because of an email from Jared

00:02:14.840 and a follow-up phone call in which he advised them to fire her.

00:02:20.460 She said she was laid off in September and believes but can't prove it was because of Jared's email.

00:02:28.420 When she learned what Jared had done, she called the police.

00:02:32.020 Now, he stopped contacting her for a while and started counseling in November.

00:02:38.040 Still, the silence was not comforting.

00:02:40.440 That all just left me to feel like he was stewing, she said.

00:02:44.420 For all the time he was silent, he's collecting things about me.

00:02:50.160 And then he comes back at me like ten times worse than he had before.

00:02:54.380 The messages resumed, referring to friends' Facebook profiles and postings about her

00:03:02.340 and Jared himself.

00:03:04.300 His messages rambled, calling her a bipolar drunkard and leading a double life

00:03:09.720 and saying, F you, leave me alone.

00:03:13.840 Even though she hadn't written him in months.

00:03:16.840 A Twitter page in Jared's name has a bio that read,

00:03:26.260 Dear Reader, I created this page to defend myself.

00:03:29.660 Now I'm suing the S out of half of the county

00:03:33.200 and making corpses of corrupt career and corporate entities.

00:03:38.180 The account had been dormant since January 2016.

00:03:45.000 Then at 2.37pm yesterday, the account posted a familiar message.

00:03:51.940 F you, leave me alone.

00:03:54.640 The reason I read that story is because the guy who went in

00:04:02.840 and murdered five people at the Capital Gazette yesterday

00:04:07.100 hates that story.

00:04:09.280 He despises that story.

00:04:12.440 This whole thing in his head goes back to the fact that that story was printed.

00:04:19.180 So I want to make sure as many people as possible know it occurred.

00:04:24.640 I want to make sure that everybody knows every weird freaking detail

00:04:30.240 from that guy's life and the things that he did to this poor woman

00:04:34.240 who thankfully is unnamed in the story.

00:04:37.580 He eventually sued the Capital Gazette over that story,

00:04:42.160 claiming he had been defamed.

00:04:45.660 He lost that suit in pretty dramatic fashion.

00:04:50.160 However, that didn't end it for the people at the Capital Gazette.

00:04:56.240 They knew that he was a real risk.

00:04:59.280 In fact, they called the police in 2013 to report him

00:05:03.540 and they were worried that he would come back and do something like this.

00:05:07.760 He consulted, the people at the paper consulted the lawyers

00:05:11.580 about filing a restraining order but decided against it.

00:05:17.460 They said, quote,

00:05:18.880 this is a guy who is going to come in and shoot us.

00:05:23.920 And yesterday afternoon that came true.

00:05:26.860 It is, it's a terrible, terrible story.

00:05:38.640 And the reaction to it is not helpful at all.

00:05:42.600 We're going to get into that in just a moment.

00:05:45.800 One of the people who died, Rob Hyson,

00:05:48.480 was the assistant managing editor and a columnist at the Capital

00:05:51.500 where he was hired in 2010.

00:05:54.300 He was 59 years old.

00:05:58.120 His wife, now widow Maria,

00:06:02.880 said last night,

00:06:04.500 which by the way was her 58th birthday,

00:06:09.220 that a birthday package from her husband still awaited her.

00:06:14.100 Her husband asked if she wanted to open her gift Thursday morning,

00:06:17.880 but she told him she'd rather wait until he got home from work.

00:06:21.500 He never made it back home.

00:06:30.860 The case was thrown out because it had absolutely no merit.

00:06:34.460 Everything in the case and everything in the story that I read you

00:06:36.960 was backed up by public documents.

00:06:40.360 This guy was a stalker.

00:06:42.420 He was stalking this poor woman who just tried to help him

00:06:46.940 through a difficult time.

00:06:48.280 And to his own recollection of their high school relationship

00:06:53.360 was the only person who gave him any respect in high school.

00:06:59.540 She paid for it with her job.

00:07:02.740 She paid for it with a year of harassment.

00:07:05.960 She paid for it with terror.

00:07:07.620 And now in yet another case

00:07:12.200 in which there are massive signs of danger

00:07:16.240 that someone could do something terrible like this,

00:07:21.020 five people paid with their lives.

00:07:23.140 You probably didn't read that story in the Capital Gazette

00:07:31.900 unless you happened to be local

00:07:33.060 and happened to pick the paper up on that exact day.

00:07:37.480 But you've definitely read something that was in the Capital Gazette.

00:07:40.940 You've definitely read something.

00:07:43.040 Let me give you a little clip from it.

00:07:44.640 We hold these truths to be self-evident

00:07:47.500 that all men are created equal

00:07:49.580 and they are endowed by their creator

00:07:51.200 with certain unalienable rights

00:07:52.780 that among these are life,

00:07:56.140 liberty,

00:07:56.860 and the pursuit of happiness.

00:08:00.720 Back when it was the Maryland Gazette

00:08:03.460 many years ago,

00:08:05.540 they actually printed

00:08:09.460 the Declaration of Independence.

00:08:12.340 The Maryland Gazette goes back to 1727.

00:08:16.520 That's how long this thing's been around.

00:08:18.820 1727.

00:08:21.700 And years later,

00:08:23.200 in July of 1776,

00:08:26.980 the Gazette printed

00:08:28.840 the Declaration of Independence

00:08:30.640 on page two.

00:08:35.540 What was going on

00:08:39.140 in the news that day

00:08:40.520 that the Declaration of Independence

00:08:42.840 was like,

00:08:43.440 eh,

00:08:43.740 it sounds like a page two story.

00:08:48.880 Amazingly,

00:08:49.760 they put local news,

00:08:53.580 what they considered local news

00:08:55.080 on page one

00:08:55.820 because it was primarily

00:08:56.900 a local paper.

00:09:00.520 And I guess

00:09:01.460 the national news

00:09:02.980 of the Declaration of Independence

00:09:04.900 wasn't quite as important

00:09:07.520 as whatever happened

00:09:08.440 locally that day.

00:09:13.800 It's a long history

00:09:15.260 at that paper.

00:09:16.360 And, you know,

00:09:17.600 we're going to get

00:09:19.240 into the reaction to this

00:09:20.500 and the way people

00:09:21.620 are trying to use it

00:09:22.920 for their own political ends

00:09:24.140 in a second.

00:09:24.740 But you just realize,

00:09:28.660 you know,

00:09:29.420 this can happen

00:09:30.560 at any moment

00:09:31.280 to anybody.

00:09:33.240 And

00:09:33.680 you can try to pass laws for it.

00:09:38.260 You can try to

00:09:39.480 blame politicians

00:09:41.060 you don't like for it.

00:09:43.840 This is a person

00:09:45.080 who obviously

00:09:45.980 had severe

00:09:47.160 mental problems.

00:09:48.260 He made one woman's life

00:09:51.840 miserable

00:09:52.620 and then ended

00:09:55.420 five others.

00:10:00.460 We'll get into the reaction

00:10:01.500 in just a moment.

00:10:02.260 It's Stu

00:10:02.740 in for Glenn Beck

00:10:04.380 on the Glenn Beck program.

00:10:09.160 888-727-BECK

00:10:10.440 is the phone number.

00:10:12.540 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:10:13.760 It's Stu filling in.

00:10:14.500 Glenn's on vacation.

00:10:15.180 We're talking about

00:10:16.000 the shooting yesterday

00:10:17.060 at the Capital Gazette.

00:10:19.220 Five people were killed

00:10:20.820 and another just

00:10:22.320 terrible, terrible day

00:10:23.880 to watch this stuff happen.

00:10:25.880 Of course, you know,

00:10:26.720 never let a crisis go to waste.

00:10:28.400 You can't let that happen.

00:10:29.580 You can't let a crisis

00:10:30.740 go to waste.

00:10:31.500 You got to take advantage

00:10:32.580 of it right away.

00:10:33.920 First thing you got to do

00:10:34.860 is hop on Twitter

00:10:35.620 and make some claims.

00:10:37.840 What little advantage

00:10:39.260 can you pull

00:10:40.020 from this tragedy?

00:10:41.180 That's the important thing

00:10:42.300 to understand.

00:10:43.500 And that's, of course,

00:10:44.460 what the media has done.

00:10:46.520 And look,

00:10:47.620 you know, it's frustrating

00:10:48.560 because, you know,

00:10:50.080 the media does a lot

00:10:50.860 of good things.

00:10:51.780 There are a lot of things

00:10:53.080 that we learn.

00:10:54.220 All the arguments

00:10:54.960 that we base

00:10:55.740 our conservative arguments on

00:10:58.120 at some level

00:10:59.300 have come from the media.

00:11:01.640 You know, it's true.

00:11:03.980 There's a lot of bad reporting

00:11:05.480 and a lot of people

00:11:06.340 who are not being honest.

00:11:08.900 But it's not exclusive.

00:11:10.100 But watching the coverage

00:11:13.100 yesterday,

00:11:13.780 a shooting goes down.

00:11:15.080 We find out

00:11:15.880 it's at a newspaper.

00:11:17.820 And people,

00:11:18.960 journalists,

00:11:19.600 who are supposed

00:11:20.300 to be the people

00:11:21.700 under control

00:11:23.320 in these moments,

00:11:24.380 rush to Twitter.

00:11:25.640 And they start

00:11:26.380 their tweeting.

00:11:27.680 Everybody wants

00:11:28.520 to be the first one

00:11:29.240 to tweet.

00:11:30.240 Everybody wants

00:11:30.940 to be the first one

00:11:31.820 who's made

00:11:32.280 that little point

00:11:33.160 so they can go back

00:11:34.440 later and say,

00:11:35.160 oh, you know what?

00:11:36.140 I knew that one happened.

00:11:38.200 And they can say

00:11:39.220 that they said it first.

00:11:41.560 Lauren Duca

00:11:42.480 said the shooting today

00:11:44.220 at the Capital Gazette

00:11:45.100 newsroom in Annapolis,

00:11:46.240 Maryland,

00:11:46.600 cannot reasonably

00:11:47.960 be separated

00:11:49.180 from the president's

00:11:51.020 mission to villainize

00:11:52.140 the press

00:11:52.640 as the enemy

00:11:53.780 of the American people.

00:11:55.080 Can't reasonably

00:11:55.960 be separated.

00:11:56.780 I just told you

00:11:57.380 the whole story.

00:11:58.960 If you missed it,

00:12:00.700 there was an incident

00:12:01.720 back in 2009,

00:12:03.180 2010,

00:12:03.680 where the shooter

00:12:04.760 harassed a woman

00:12:05.680 there was a

00:12:06.920 news story

00:12:07.740 written about

00:12:08.220 the court case

00:12:08.980 that went on

00:12:09.540 afterwards.

00:12:11.720 And he had

00:12:14.700 a vendetta

00:12:15.280 for multiple years

00:12:16.720 against this newspaper.

00:12:18.600 It was when

00:12:20.440 Donald Trump

00:12:20.920 was hosting

00:12:21.380 The Apprentice

00:12:22.020 this was going on.

00:12:23.420 It has nothing

00:12:24.100 to do

00:12:24.600 with Donald Trump.

00:12:26.180 Nothing.

00:12:27.160 It can

00:12:27.880 reasonably

00:12:28.680 be separated.

00:12:34.040 Another journalist

00:12:35.100 from I-24

00:12:38.960 says,

00:12:39.520 President Trump,

00:12:40.120 who repeatedly

00:12:40.620 calls the media

00:12:41.380 the enemy

00:12:41.860 of the people,

00:12:42.780 is offering

00:12:43.720 his thoughts

00:12:44.440 and prayers

00:12:45.080 to the victims

00:12:45.780 of the shooting

00:12:46.360 at a newspaper

00:12:47.540 office in Annapolis.

00:12:49.060 I'm not into

00:12:49.680 the whole

00:12:50.280 enemy of the people

00:12:51.000 thing.

00:12:51.220 I don't think

00:12:51.400 that's a great

00:12:51.900 description.

00:12:52.900 I get what he's

00:12:53.440 going for there

00:12:54.100 in that,

00:12:54.600 you know,

00:12:54.800 a lot of times

00:12:55.340 they're certainly

00:12:55.980 his enemy.

00:12:57.380 You know,

00:12:58.020 but it's not

00:12:59.840 probably helpful

00:13:00.640 to say the enemy

00:13:01.720 of the people,

00:13:02.080 but it's got

00:13:02.620 nothing to do

00:13:03.420 with this.

00:13:04.740 Nothing to do

00:13:05.480 with this.

00:13:07.000 At the print,

00:13:07.720 I'm reserving

00:13:08.220 judgment on the

00:13:09.220 Capital Gazette

00:13:09.840 shooting until we

00:13:10.520 know more,

00:13:10.900 but like everyone

00:13:11.480 else,

00:13:11.760 my first thought

00:13:12.340 was,

00:13:12.840 this is what

00:13:13.620 Trump has been

00:13:14.380 building up

00:13:15.040 since the election

00:13:15.840 and there's more

00:13:17.080 where that came

00:13:17.800 from.

00:13:20.380 Again,

00:13:20.620 you're not,

00:13:21.100 I mean,

00:13:21.300 when you tweet

00:13:21.780 that,

00:13:22.040 are you withholding

00:13:22.760 judgment?

00:13:23.780 You know what I

00:13:24.120 tweeted about this

00:13:24.820 incident in the

00:13:25.380 middle of it?

00:13:25.900 Nothing.

00:13:28.880 Nothing.

00:13:29.280 Because we

00:13:30.600 didn't know

00:13:31.280 anything about

00:13:32.260 it.

00:13:33.360 There was no

00:13:34.120 reason to make

00:13:34.860 a judgment on

00:13:35.560 the motive of

00:13:36.780 the shooter

00:13:37.540 because we

00:13:38.640 didn't know

00:13:39.140 what it was.

00:13:40.380 We had no

00:13:41.200 evidence what

00:13:41.900 it was.

00:13:42.340 Has there ever

00:13:43.100 been a moment

00:13:44.000 in human history

00:13:44.880 where someone

00:13:45.940 later on in the

00:13:46.760 day says,

00:13:47.540 darn it,

00:13:48.320 I didn't tweet

00:13:49.420 about that when

00:13:50.160 I had no

00:13:50.700 information?

00:13:51.840 Has that ever

00:13:53.060 occurred?

00:13:54.160 Now,

00:13:54.420 I can understand

00:13:55.340 the average person

00:13:57.080 running to Twitter

00:13:57.760 and throwing out

00:13:59.160 claims that

00:14:00.620 maybe aren't

00:14:02.260 supported by

00:14:02.880 facts because

00:14:03.560 they use

00:14:04.080 Twitter as

00:14:05.220 something of

00:14:06.060 entertainment to

00:14:06.780 get something

00:14:07.480 off their

00:14:07.880 chest?

00:14:08.360 I understand

00:14:08.880 that.

00:14:10.300 I don't

00:14:10.940 understand how

00:14:11.520 someone in the

00:14:12.000 media could do

00:14:12.520 that.

00:14:13.300 I don't get

00:14:13.820 it.

00:14:14.740 Has there ever

00:14:15.420 been a moment

00:14:16.020 where you would

00:14:16.480 regret waiting

00:14:17.700 to understand

00:14:18.640 the information

00:14:19.360 necessary to

00:14:20.280 form an

00:14:20.580 opinion?

00:14:22.780 Does anyone

00:14:23.780 look back?

00:14:24.780 I mean,

00:14:25.120 someone who's

00:14:25.840 near death

00:14:26.580 call in,

00:14:27.560 are you on

00:14:28.180 your deathbed

00:14:28.820 right now

00:14:29.200 saying,

00:14:29.840 darn it,

00:14:30.340 I wish I

00:14:30.860 tweeted about

00:14:31.480 that story

00:14:32.040 15 minutes

00:14:32.740 earlier before

00:14:33.440 I knew

00:14:33.800 anything about

00:14:34.380 it?

00:14:35.460 Is there

00:14:35.760 ever a

00:14:36.500 moment that

00:14:37.400 this goes

00:14:37.800 on?

00:14:41.060 What has

00:14:41.820 ever been

00:14:42.360 accomplished

00:14:42.840 by tweeting

00:14:43.920 before knowing

00:14:44.700 the facts?

00:14:46.880 Nothing.

00:14:51.440 KATU-TV

00:14:52.200 anchor,

00:14:53.020 Angelica

00:14:53.520 Thornton,

00:14:54.300 journalism has

00:14:55.120 never been this

00:14:56.020 needed and it's

00:14:56.600 never been so

00:14:57.200 threatened.

00:14:57.560 Attacks on

00:14:58.500 journalists from

00:14:58.980 every angle,

00:14:59.520 from Trump

00:15:00.020 to the ICE

00:15:00.920 protest and

00:15:01.580 now a

00:15:02.540 shooting.

00:15:03.300 Don't let

00:15:03.660 up journalists,

00:15:04.200 keep doing

00:15:04.520 your jobs.

00:15:05.140 Yes, you

00:15:05.440 should keep

00:15:05.780 doing your

00:15:06.100 jobs, but

00:15:06.500 again, the

00:15:07.000 Trump

00:15:07.320 criticism of

00:15:08.540 the media,

00:15:10.020 many times

00:15:11.120 just, not

00:15:12.240 always, but

00:15:13.480 many times

00:15:14.160 just and

00:15:15.100 accurate, has

00:15:17.440 nothing to do

00:15:18.620 with the

00:15:18.980 shooting.

00:15:19.260 now, some

00:15:25.720 are pointing

00:15:26.100 out the

00:15:26.440 comments made

00:15:27.100 by, you

00:15:28.460 may remember

00:15:28.920 this guy

00:15:29.440 from a

00:15:30.480 while ago,

00:15:31.440 Milo

00:15:31.900 Yiannopoulos.

00:15:33.200 He was a

00:15:35.220 three-minute

00:15:36.240 internet

00:15:36.620 celebrity a

00:15:37.400 few years

00:15:37.740 ago.

00:15:38.600 He actually

00:15:39.520 wrote, he

00:15:41.700 can't wait

00:15:42.160 for vigilante

00:15:42.840 squads to

00:15:43.900 start gunning

00:15:44.600 journalists down

00:15:45.280 on site.

00:15:45.780 so, not

00:15:49.540 helpful, not

00:15:51.320 helpful.

00:15:51.900 I mean, you

00:15:52.680 know, this is

00:15:53.440 who this guy

00:15:54.000 is, and

00:15:55.360 we've told

00:15:55.820 you this is

00:15:56.220 who this guy

00:15:56.700 is since the

00:15:57.400 very beginning.

00:16:00.480 He had his,

00:16:01.460 you know, six

00:16:02.160 or seven minutes

00:16:02.920 in the spotlight,

00:16:03.780 and now he's,

00:16:04.460 you know, this

00:16:04.820 is how I guess

00:16:05.300 you get more

00:16:05.720 attention.

00:16:06.120 He's also

00:16:06.520 sending people

00:16:08.660 Hitler messages

00:16:09.520 and such, and

00:16:10.720 has been kicked

00:16:11.160 off of PayPal

00:16:12.180 or Venmo

00:16:13.080 because he was

00:16:15.340 tweeting Hitler

00:16:16.160 or sending

00:16:16.720 Hitler messages

00:16:17.420 to other

00:16:17.820 people.

00:16:18.560 Just, it's

00:16:19.420 wonderful.

00:16:20.620 Again, you know,

00:16:21.220 obviously you get

00:16:21.940 desperate after all

00:16:22.940 this stuff happens

00:16:23.560 to you.

00:16:23.980 You lose your

00:16:24.260 job, you lose

00:16:24.800 your book deal,

00:16:25.420 and then you're

00:16:26.040 just desperate

00:16:26.700 for attention.

00:16:27.440 So, I can

00:16:28.180 understand some

00:16:28.920 of the people

00:16:29.440 initially thinking,

00:16:31.320 maybe thinking

00:16:31.960 in that quiet

00:16:32.740 part in your

00:16:33.220 head, hey,

00:16:34.260 this crazy

00:16:35.500 alt-right guy

00:16:37.180 just came out

00:16:37.840 and said this

00:16:38.880 thing about

00:16:39.620 shooting journalists

00:16:41.660 in the street,

00:16:42.220 maybe these are

00:16:42.680 related.

00:16:43.220 In the quiet

00:16:44.020 part of your

00:16:44.600 mind, it's an

00:16:45.200 understandable

00:16:45.740 little conversation

00:16:46.640 going on.

00:16:47.660 Maybe you think

00:16:48.160 to yourself,

00:16:48.600 you know what,

00:16:49.240 maybe those

00:16:49.700 things are tied

00:16:50.180 up together.

00:16:51.220 You know, I

00:16:51.480 don't like the

00:16:51.840 way Trump talks

00:16:52.480 about the media.

00:16:53.320 I don't like how

00:16:53.860 he talks about,

00:16:54.500 you know,

00:16:54.960 toughening up our

00:16:55.580 libel laws.

00:16:56.540 I don't like how

00:16:57.120 he targets

00:16:57.600 journalists.

00:16:58.640 If you're a

00:16:59.120 journalist, you

00:16:59.500 probably believe

00:17:00.460 that.

00:17:00.940 But does that

00:17:01.440 mean the first

00:17:02.060 time you see a

00:17:02.600 journalist have

00:17:03.160 something bad to

00:17:03.800 them happen,

00:17:04.820 you blame the

00:17:05.840 President of the

00:17:06.280 United States?

00:17:08.520 My opinion of

00:17:09.740 that would be no.

00:17:10.420 There's pages of

00:17:11.320 these things.

00:17:11.780 We could go through

00:17:12.200 all the tweets and

00:17:12.940 all the comments

00:17:13.600 made.

00:17:13.900 One of the

00:17:14.920 people at the

00:17:15.900 actual Capital

00:17:16.600 Gazette said,

00:17:17.380 quote,

00:17:18.020 you have a

00:17:18.360 president who

00:17:18.880 says everything

00:17:19.320 that we do is

00:17:20.000 fake news,

00:17:20.680 who has no

00:17:21.340 compunction about

00:17:22.140 disparaging the

00:17:22.920 people whose

00:17:23.680 assignment it is

00:17:24.500 to go out and

00:17:25.080 report what he

00:17:25.600 does and who

00:17:26.360 gives us token

00:17:27.120 sympathy and

00:17:27.740 prayers.

00:17:28.300 The fact that

00:17:28.920 this happened in

00:17:29.480 a newspaper is

00:17:30.160 no coincidence.

00:17:31.520 It most

00:17:32.160 certainly is.

00:17:35.280 This is

00:17:36.000 essentially,

00:17:37.220 you want to go

00:17:37.620 back to previous

00:17:38.380 shootings,

00:17:38.780 you want to

00:17:38.940 something that's

00:17:39.660 similar?

00:17:40.380 Go back to

00:17:41.020 something like

00:17:41.520 the old post

00:17:42.480 office shootings

00:17:43.140 where sometimes

00:17:44.360 there are people

00:17:44.880 disgruntled

00:17:45.480 employees.

00:17:46.160 It's closer to

00:17:46.960 that type of

00:17:47.600 situation than

00:17:48.220 it has anything

00:17:48.940 to do with an

00:17:49.480 ideological killing.

00:17:50.700 This has nothing

00:17:51.680 to do with

00:17:52.180 politics at all.

00:17:53.440 This is the

00:17:53.840 guy, one of the

00:17:54.640 people who was

00:17:55.480 essentially the

00:17:56.960 enemy of this

00:17:58.640 particular lunatic

00:17:59.900 at the paper.

00:18:01.880 And he says,

00:18:03.040 the fact that this

00:18:04.120 happened in a

00:18:04.580 newspaper is no

00:18:05.220 coincidence.

00:18:07.640 Of course it's a

00:18:08.660 coincidence.

00:18:09.060 coincidence.

00:18:10.000 If this had been

00:18:11.080 posted on a

00:18:11.640 website and that's

00:18:12.340 what angered him,

00:18:12.800 it would have

00:18:13.040 happened at a

00:18:13.500 website.

00:18:14.220 This has nothing

00:18:15.300 to do with the

00:18:17.140 rhetoric coming from

00:18:17.880 the President of

00:18:18.480 the United States.

00:18:20.860 And it's so

00:18:22.020 incredibly frustrating

00:18:23.360 to see journalists

00:18:24.520 get caught up in

00:18:25.240 this.

00:18:26.440 Look, journalists

00:18:26.940 are people.

00:18:28.460 They make mistakes

00:18:30.000 just like everybody

00:18:30.780 else.

00:18:32.220 They get emotional

00:18:33.460 and lose control

00:18:34.780 of themselves just

00:18:35.700 like everybody

00:18:36.240 else.

00:18:37.780 But stop

00:18:38.740 yourself.

00:18:40.360 This is your

00:18:41.180 most central

00:18:42.220 focus when it

00:18:44.780 comes to your

00:18:45.260 career.

00:18:46.780 Limit

00:18:47.260 inaccurate

00:18:47.900 information.

00:18:49.300 Maximize

00:18:49.780 accurate information.

00:18:51.420 Tweeting 10

00:18:52.180 seconds after a

00:18:53.260 mass murder is

00:18:54.700 not going to get

00:18:55.400 you on the right

00:18:55.840 side of that

00:18:56.240 equation.

00:18:57.100 Back with more

00:18:57.740 in a second.

00:19:02.800 This is the

00:19:03.620 Glenn Beck

00:19:04.040 program.

00:19:05.120 I want to take

00:19:05.400 it back a few

00:19:05.780 years.

00:19:07.000 A little back

00:19:07.760 in the history

00:19:08.880 when we're

00:19:09.420 talking about

00:19:10.180 shootings.

00:19:11.900 We're talking

00:19:12.660 about firearms.

00:19:15.280 To a little

00:19:16.000 advice given

00:19:17.440 by Joe Biden.

00:19:20.780 Get a double

00:19:21.820 barrel shotgun.

00:19:23.940 Have the

00:19:24.660 shells of

00:19:25.340 12 gauge

00:19:25.980 shotgun.

00:19:27.000 And I promise

00:19:27.900 you, as I

00:19:28.580 told my wife,

00:19:29.660 we live in an

00:19:30.860 area that's

00:19:31.560 wooded and

00:19:32.320 somewhat secluded.

00:19:33.900 I said, Jill,

00:19:34.500 if there's ever a

00:19:35.280 problem, just

00:19:35.980 walk out on the

00:19:36.940 balcony here or

00:19:37.760 walk out, put

00:19:39.020 that double

00:19:39.660 barrel shotgun

00:19:40.580 and fire two

00:19:42.220 blasts outside

00:19:43.800 the house.

00:19:44.780 I promise you,

00:19:45.560 who's ever coming

00:19:46.140 in is not

00:19:46.700 going to, you

00:19:47.160 don't need an

00:19:47.860 AR-15.

00:19:49.300 It's harder to

00:19:50.320 aim, it's harder

00:19:51.560 to use, and in

00:19:53.180 fact, you don't

00:19:54.040 need 30 rounds to

00:19:55.480 protect yourself.

00:19:56.760 Buy a shotgun.

00:19:58.740 Buy a shotgun.

00:19:59.560 So, yesterday, the

00:20:03.160 shooter actually

00:20:03.640 used a shotgun.

00:20:05.580 Now, can you

00:20:06.860 blame Joe Biden

00:20:08.020 for giving the

00:20:09.840 advice for everyone

00:20:10.680 to buy a shotgun

00:20:11.680 and then later on

00:20:13.560 find out that

00:20:14.440 someone actually

00:20:15.180 killed a bunch of

00:20:15.800 people with a

00:20:16.260 shotgun?

00:20:16.640 Can you blame

00:20:17.180 Joe Biden for

00:20:17.980 that?

00:20:19.620 Yes.

00:20:21.420 Yes, it's Joe

00:20:22.720 Biden's fault.

00:20:23.740 100% Joe Biden's

00:20:27.120 fault.

00:20:30.480 If you think

00:20:31.120 that's ridiculous,

00:20:31.900 you're right, but

00:20:33.340 I can tell you,

00:20:33.880 if you are a Joe

00:20:35.900 Biden defender, if

00:20:36.880 you happen to be

00:20:37.620 Joe listening to

00:20:38.540 the program today,

00:20:39.840 you now know what

00:20:40.620 it feels like for

00:20:41.340 every law-abiding

00:20:44.340 gun owner every

00:20:46.360 time one of these

00:20:46.840 stories happens.

00:20:48.700 Every time you

00:20:49.480 argue for legal

00:20:50.580 use of firearms

00:20:51.600 and someone shoots

00:20:52.800 someone, it

00:20:53.520 becomes your fault

00:20:54.400 somehow.

00:20:55.920 And it's

00:20:56.580 incredibly frustrating.

00:20:57.940 Of course it's not

00:20:58.800 Joe Biden's fault.

00:20:59.820 Can we come to

00:21:00.960 the point as a

00:21:02.200 nation where I

00:21:03.860 thought we always

00:21:04.660 were, which is

00:21:08.360 people are

00:21:10.000 responsible for

00:21:11.300 their actions.

00:21:14.160 If you do

00:21:15.200 something, guess

00:21:16.260 who should be

00:21:16.740 blamed?

00:21:17.460 You.

00:21:19.320 I happen to,

00:21:21.120 I don't know,

00:21:21.900 was this a

00:21:22.420 coincidence?

00:21:22.900 I don't know.

00:21:23.520 I was, as I

00:21:24.280 was, you know,

00:21:24.740 looking through

00:21:25.180 the news last

00:21:25.720 night, flipped on

00:21:26.640 the TV in the

00:21:27.100 background, law

00:21:27.680 and order is

00:21:28.120 on.

00:21:29.240 And law and

00:21:29.860 order, they're

00:21:30.700 doing a, a

00:21:32.440 horrible attempt

00:21:34.120 at gun control

00:21:36.740 commentary.

00:21:37.980 And so they have a

00:21:39.080 case against a

00:21:41.500 gun manufacturer in

00:21:43.660 which they claim the

00:21:45.700 gun company is

00:21:47.620 responsible for a

00:21:49.020 series of murders.

00:21:49.920 It was a spree

00:21:52.600 shooting by some

00:21:53.560 guy who wanted to

00:21:54.340 kill as many

00:21:54.800 women as possible.

00:21:56.300 And so he shot a

00:21:57.500 bunch of people in

00:21:58.360 the crowd.

00:21:58.840 And I could tell

00:21:59.240 this is not show

00:22:00.740 prep.

00:22:01.060 I should have been

00:22:01.640 actually reading

00:22:02.260 something of value.

00:22:03.080 Instead, I'm

00:22:03.560 watching television.

00:22:04.820 But law and order,

00:22:05.500 once you get sucked

00:22:06.160 in, you can't leave.

00:22:08.120 And the crazy part

00:22:09.560 about it is almost

00:22:10.300 every episode of

00:22:11.200 law and order, the

00:22:12.200 same thing happens

00:22:12.920 to me, which is

00:22:13.600 when one lawyer makes

00:22:15.240 an argument, I

00:22:16.140 completely believe them

00:22:17.740 to the core of my

00:22:19.060 soul.

00:22:20.980 It's the most

00:22:21.880 important and true

00:22:23.220 thing that has ever

00:22:24.260 been spoken.

00:22:25.000 Of course he did it.

00:22:26.260 Of course they're

00:22:27.180 guilty.

00:22:28.140 And then the other

00:22:28.880 lawyer comes out and

00:22:29.620 they start talking

00:22:30.260 and I believe that

00:22:31.500 with every element of

00:22:32.840 my soul to the core

00:22:33.920 of my being.

00:22:35.300 Every time anything

00:22:36.840 happens on law and

00:22:37.840 order, I believe it.

00:22:40.020 It just, I don't

00:22:40.660 know, they're so

00:22:41.280 effective on that show.

00:22:42.520 Every argument made,

00:22:43.580 it's the exact opposite

00:22:44.700 argument and somehow

00:22:45.520 they still convince me,

00:22:46.480 no, that, no, wow, I

00:22:47.800 thought before they

00:22:48.760 were guilty, but now

00:22:49.440 I know they're

00:22:50.120 innocent.

00:22:51.180 So they're talking,

00:22:51.840 but that was not the

00:22:52.680 case with this episode.

00:22:53.760 That's the case with

00:22:54.460 almost every episode of

00:22:55.420 law and order.

00:22:55.980 This one was not

00:22:57.020 convincing.

00:22:57.800 They're trying to make

00:22:58.580 a gun manufacturer look

00:23:00.000 guilty for this

00:23:01.680 killing.

00:23:03.000 And the reason is

00:23:04.260 they have a weapon

00:23:05.720 that can be modified

00:23:07.360 to go from semi-automatic

00:23:09.340 to automatic.

00:23:10.800 Now, if you don't know

00:23:11.520 the difference between

00:23:12.100 those two terms or

00:23:13.020 your name's Michael

00:23:13.600 Bloomberg, the

00:23:14.480 difference is it

00:23:16.020 expansive.

00:23:17.400 It's a big difference.

00:23:18.920 Holding the trigger

00:23:19.400 once for as many

00:23:20.820 bullets as you have

00:23:21.660 or pulling the trigger

00:23:22.860 each time for one

00:23:23.820 individual bullet.

00:23:26.060 So, that's the big

00:23:28.300 thing.

00:23:28.720 This guy, this

00:23:29.520 murderer in the case,

00:23:30.560 goes out and he

00:23:31.400 actually takes the

00:23:33.320 gun out, spends a

00:23:34.560 half an hour doing

00:23:35.620 all sorts of tweaks

00:23:36.360 to it to modify it

00:23:38.500 into an automatic

00:23:39.240 weapon.

00:23:40.020 And they're supposed

00:23:40.620 to blame the gun

00:23:41.240 manufacturer for it.

00:23:42.940 I mean, spoiler

00:23:43.820 alert, probably the

00:23:44.860 episode aired in

00:23:46.820 2006, so I don't

00:23:48.840 know how much I'm

00:23:49.300 spoiling here, but

00:23:50.860 the jury found that

00:23:53.200 to be a compelling

00:23:55.240 argument and called

00:23:56.420 them guilty.

00:23:58.180 And then the judge

00:23:59.100 came in and said,

00:24:00.140 I'm overruling the

00:24:01.560 jury, that was dumb.

00:24:03.980 What's interesting

00:24:04.740 about that is it's

00:24:05.800 the way, it's

00:24:06.880 reality, right?

00:24:09.340 In reality, these

00:24:11.220 arguments about guns

00:24:12.580 are compelling to

00:24:14.060 people who don't

00:24:14.880 know the law, who

00:24:15.860 don't know the

00:24:16.340 Constitution, who

00:24:17.460 just have their

00:24:18.340 feels on every

00:24:19.520 day.

00:24:20.380 All they do is feel

00:24:21.620 all the time, and

00:24:22.360 when you feel all the

00:24:23.200 time, you make

00:24:23.660 decisions based on

00:24:24.580 emotion and feelings.

00:24:27.000 And the good thing

00:24:28.760 about that is you

00:24:29.880 never get in an

00:24:31.980 argument with a law.

00:24:34.600 You never get in an

00:24:35.400 argument with the

00:24:36.080 Constitution.

00:24:36.860 You never get in an

00:24:37.500 argument with a

00:24:38.240 founding document.

00:24:39.480 You never get in an

00:24:40.140 argument with history.

00:24:41.180 You never get in an

00:24:41.720 argument with global

00:24:42.640 history.

00:24:43.860 All you do is you

00:24:44.880 kind of exist in your

00:24:46.340 own little emotional

00:24:47.100 place.

00:24:48.920 And your own little

00:24:49.880 emotional place is

00:24:50.840 fine, I guess, for a

00:24:52.560 lot of things.

00:24:54.200 But that's not the way

00:24:55.240 you should make

00:24:55.720 decisions based on the

00:24:57.020 Constitution.

00:24:58.320 And it's not the way

00:24:59.060 judges should make

00:25:00.160 decisions.

00:25:01.040 And it's not the way,

00:25:02.000 because we've seen

00:25:02.620 that before.

00:25:03.480 I mean, read some of

00:25:04.200 the dissents in the

00:25:05.300 cases last week in the

00:25:06.200 Supreme Court.

00:25:07.000 Emotion plays a big

00:25:07.840 role.

00:25:09.360 Ruth Bader Ginsburg is

00:25:10.480 very emotional when

00:25:11.600 she's not asleep,

00:25:12.800 because she does fall

00:25:13.560 asleep quite a bit in

00:25:14.860 the middle of

00:25:15.280 proceedings.

00:25:17.140 Would you give her a

00:25:17.940 break?

00:25:18.180 She's 85.

00:25:18.640 The point here is that

00:25:21.160 using logic in these

00:25:23.320 situations is incredibly

00:25:24.580 important.

00:25:25.920 Logic is most

00:25:27.260 important when emotion

00:25:28.940 is involved.

00:25:29.580 the reason why you see

00:25:33.040 these giant pushes

00:25:34.140 after mass shootings

00:25:35.620 to try to change the

00:25:37.580 law is they're trying

00:25:38.600 to make a permanent

00:25:39.620 change during a

00:25:41.360 temporary emotional

00:25:42.600 elevation.

00:25:44.780 They know everyone's

00:25:45.900 fired up.

00:25:46.420 No one wants anyone to

00:25:47.420 die.

00:25:48.040 No one wants a school

00:25:49.060 shooting to happen.

00:25:50.000 No one wants Las Vegas

00:25:51.180 to happen.

00:25:51.680 No one wants any of

00:25:52.380 these things to happen.

00:25:54.280 Occasionally they do.

00:25:55.220 Your odds of being

00:25:57.140 involved with one are

00:25:58.180 impossibly low.

00:26:00.780 But that does not make

00:26:01.760 anybody feel good who

00:26:02.840 was involved in one.

00:26:05.880 So what you see is a

00:26:08.480 sprint to the finish

00:26:10.080 line.

00:26:10.720 There is a moment, a

00:26:11.900 window of incredible

00:26:13.740 emotion.

00:26:15.440 And that window must be

00:26:17.040 filled with permanent

00:26:18.400 legal change or you

00:26:20.580 didn't take advantage.

00:26:22.580 You didn't move the

00:26:24.680 ball down the field.

00:26:26.160 You let the crisis go

00:26:28.100 to waste.

00:26:32.320 And I don't know if

00:26:33.340 this push is going to

00:26:33.960 be the same.

00:26:35.120 We're already seeing a

00:26:36.420 bit of it.

00:26:38.980 Kirsten Gillibrand from

00:26:41.280 New York, who is a

00:26:43.140 talked about frequently

00:26:44.160 as a potential 2020

00:26:45.880 challenger to Donald

00:26:46.820 Trump, has some

00:26:48.820 answers about what we

00:26:49.800 can do.

00:26:50.180 How could we stop such

00:26:52.240 an amazing,

00:26:54.000 horribly, amazingly

00:26:56.500 horrible incident that

00:26:57.560 happened yesterday?

00:26:59.000 Here's her answer.

00:26:59.880 Are you aware of

00:27:01.000 anything on the

00:27:01.820 federal level that is

00:27:03.400 being done actively to

00:27:05.240 deal with the issues

00:27:06.240 that seem to invariably

00:27:07.800 surround these

00:27:08.620 shootings?

00:27:09.020 We know what the

00:27:09.520 states are doing, but

00:27:10.720 on the federal level,

00:27:11.580 is there anything to

00:27:12.660 give any hope for any

00:27:14.020 kind of momentum?

00:27:15.620 Well, Congress is

00:27:16.440 certainly broken and has

00:27:17.260 done nothing to end gun

00:27:18.340 crime.

00:27:19.080 But I do have hope

00:27:19.960 because I believe the

00:27:21.340 fact that this movement

00:27:22.220 has become one led by

00:27:24.020 kids, led by students,

00:27:25.740 that it's intersectional,

00:27:26.900 so it applies to all

00:27:27.780 communities, all kinds of

00:27:28.980 gun violence.

00:27:30.000 That momentum that's

00:27:31.140 being created by these

00:27:31.960 kids marching, marching

00:27:33.480 out of school, marching

00:27:34.540 on Washington, is making

00:27:35.760 a difference.

00:27:36.280 To have young women like

00:27:37.460 Emma Gonzalez call BS on

00:27:38.940 every excuse every

00:27:39.840 Congress member has ever

00:27:40.920 given her, to have a

00:27:42.080 young man stand up to

00:27:43.000 Marco Rubio and say,

00:27:43.740 stop taking money from

00:27:44.840 the NRA, that's going to

00:27:46.180 change things.

00:27:46.960 And for everyone, every

00:27:48.060 child that is marching and

00:27:49.580 speaking out, they have

00:27:50.720 parents who are now going

00:27:51.860 to think about this issue

00:27:52.960 differently, and that's

00:27:54.340 going to happen in red

00:27:55.060 states and blue states and

00:27:55.960 purple states.

00:27:56.520 So I actually am optimistic

00:27:58.220 that when we do flip the

00:27:59.660 House and possibly the

00:28:00.780 Senate, our first vote can

00:28:02.260 be on common sense gun

00:28:03.180 reform to actually ban the

00:28:05.020 assault weapons in the

00:28:05.860 large magazines, ban the

00:28:07.080 bump stocks, have a

00:28:08.240 universal background check

00:28:09.320 system where terrorists can't

00:28:10.500 get access to weapons, and

00:28:12.160 then have the investments in

00:28:13.040 mental health that have

00:28:13.660 been needed for a very

00:28:14.400 long time.

00:28:15.140 I think that is all

00:28:16.300 possible, especially if we

00:28:18.400 can flip the House and

00:28:19.100 Senate.

00:28:19.880 The only thing that would

00:28:21.040 make any difference here

00:28:22.020 likely is investments in

00:28:23.800 mental health.

00:28:24.780 The only thing that could

00:28:25.380 possibly touch this story,

00:28:26.500 the guy used a shotgun.

00:28:27.600 There's not one piece of

00:28:28.620 legislation out there that

00:28:29.880 even Democrats are

00:28:30.800 proposing that would have

00:28:31.560 limited shotgun purchases.

00:28:34.200 That's not what it does.

00:28:36.520 Now, when you talk about

00:28:37.600 this guy having severe

00:28:38.700 mental problems, which it

00:28:39.760 seems like he did, there are

00:28:42.360 bills that have been pushed

00:28:43.300 by Republicans that can

00:28:44.440 address a lot of those.

00:28:46.320 And a lot of times, Democrats

00:28:47.560 are not on board with them.

00:28:50.940 But it's not like you can't

00:28:52.480 change these things.

00:28:53.240 You can.

00:28:54.200 You can absolutely get rid of

00:28:56.220 shotguns if you want.

00:28:57.420 First of all, I don't know,

00:28:58.560 maybe ask for it, because

00:28:59.700 you're not even asking for it

00:29:00.660 because you know how

00:29:01.240 ridiculously unpopular it

00:29:02.580 would be.

00:29:03.260 But you're going to say

00:29:04.160 common sense gun reform and

00:29:05.320 talk about bump stocks?

00:29:06.700 Was there a bump stock used in

00:29:08.240 this?

00:29:09.200 It has no high capacity

00:29:11.560 magazines, at least

00:29:13.620 according to reports, that

00:29:14.540 has nothing to do with the

00:29:15.700 story.

00:29:16.240 You want to get rid of the

00:29:17.320 guns, you have a path to it.

00:29:19.160 It's an extensive path.

00:29:20.980 It's going to take some time.

00:29:22.680 First of all, you're going to

00:29:23.480 start with overturning the

00:29:24.620 Second Amendment.

00:29:25.780 Sadly, that's not going to be

00:29:26.740 enough.

00:29:28.120 Because just overturning the

00:29:29.480 Second Amendment does not do

00:29:30.940 the job.

00:29:32.660 Overturning the Second Amendment

00:29:33.680 would get you closer.

00:29:35.400 But then you'd still have

00:29:36.680 state laws.

00:29:37.500 You'd have to deal with lots

00:29:38.420 of states with past laws to

00:29:41.360 allow them.

00:29:42.100 Remember, all the Second

00:29:43.240 Amendment does is it says

00:29:44.760 everybody has a right to

00:29:46.460 bear arms.

00:29:47.580 If you get rid of the Second

00:29:48.620 Amendment, you repeal the

00:29:49.640 Second Amendment, you still

00:29:51.820 have people with the

00:29:53.060 availability to do it.

00:29:53.980 They just don't have the

00:29:54.520 guaranteed right.

00:29:55.300 So you'd be able to ban it

00:29:56.260 in some states.

00:29:56.860 So just go through all 50

00:29:57.860 states and ban them.

00:29:59.480 Then you have a little bit

00:30:00.860 of a cleanup problem.

00:30:02.300 Because I don't know if you

00:30:03.180 know this, the American

00:30:04.780 people own

00:30:05.720 400 million guns.

00:30:10.460 In case you don't know how

00:30:11.380 many guns that is, it's

00:30:12.620 100 times the amount of

00:30:14.800 our military.

00:30:16.640 It's 400 times as many as

00:30:19.360 law enforcement.

00:30:21.940 So good luck with that one.

00:30:23.900 Going door to door to

00:30:24.960 picking those things up from

00:30:26.280 people who believe that they

00:30:28.160 have a right to defend

00:30:28.900 themselves.

00:30:29.860 It's not realistic, but there

00:30:31.200 is a path.

00:30:31.860 The path, however, is not

00:30:33.860 calling BS or telling Marco

00:30:38.020 Rubio that he can't take any

00:30:40.200 more money from the NRA or

00:30:42.080 going on TV with Chris Cuomo

00:30:44.120 and talking about it for the

00:30:45.960 five millionth time.

00:30:47.480 You want to do actually

00:30:48.300 something that's real?

00:30:49.980 Something that you could get

00:30:50.700 support from the other side

00:30:51.640 of the aisle on?

00:30:52.460 Talk about mental health.

00:30:53.600 Talk about safety in schools.

00:30:54.940 Talk about other security

00:30:56.700 measures.

00:30:57.740 There are things you can do

00:30:58.880 that will affect this.

00:30:59.720 You're not going to stop it

00:31:00.600 all, though.

00:31:00.920 It's a constitutionally

00:31:04.320 guaranteed right.

00:31:05.200 Some people will abuse it,

00:31:06.480 just like every one of the

00:31:07.520 other rights.

00:31:08.840 Some people will abuse it.

00:31:11.440 Some people will do terrible

00:31:12.760 things to other people.

00:31:14.340 And you say, well, what are we

00:31:15.480 supposed to just take this as

00:31:16.420 a price of freedom?

00:31:17.660 At some level, yeah.

00:31:20.040 It's not going to make anybody

00:31:21.060 feel good who's involved in one

00:31:22.220 of these things, of course.

00:31:24.300 But at some level, we risk our

00:31:26.720 lives every day because we live

00:31:28.420 in a free society.

00:31:30.920 We risk our lives every day.

00:31:34.320 Every person you interact with,

00:31:36.600 forget guns, every person you

00:31:38.780 interact with could have a

00:31:41.020 Michael Myers-style machete

00:31:43.520 that they could come after you

00:31:46.380 with when your back is turned

00:31:48.020 and you're looking at the

00:31:48.800 barbecue chips.

00:31:49.520 When you're noticing the new

00:31:52.620 flavor of Cheetos on the rack,

00:31:54.140 someone could be behind you

00:31:55.080 with a flamethrower.

00:31:55.960 You don't know.

00:31:57.300 You trust people because you live

00:31:58.840 in a free society and you have

00:32:00.100 no other choice.

00:32:01.360 And you know what happens?

00:32:02.360 Every day, you come home in

00:32:04.860 almost every circumstance and

00:32:06.980 have not been attacked with a

00:32:08.380 flamethrower.

00:32:08.980 That's America.

00:32:13.580 Lots of people have guns and very

00:32:16.300 rarely are they used in incidents

00:32:17.920 like this.

00:32:19.820 Thank God.

00:32:21.480 Thank God.

00:32:22.780 But the answer is to not go and

00:32:24.500 blame people who have given advice

00:32:28.040 like Joe Biden to go buy a shotgun

00:32:30.540 or for people who are law-abiding

00:32:35.700 gun owners.

00:32:37.860 The answer is not to restrict

00:32:39.880 people who follow the law.

00:32:42.200 It's to pursue people who break it

00:32:43.920 and find people who are on the edge.

00:32:47.120 I will remind you, the police were

00:32:49.200 called about this person several

00:32:51.820 years ago by the newspaper who

00:32:54.420 feared he would come and shoot up

00:32:56.580 the office.

00:32:57.440 They called in advance by

00:33:01.020 multiple years and it still

00:33:02.980 happened.

00:33:05.360 That can be stopped.

00:33:08.100 And that's the sort of thing we

00:33:09.540 need to find a way to figure out

00:33:12.460 a solution to.

00:33:14.120 But it's not taking everybody's

00:33:15.300 guns away.

00:33:15.800 That isn't doing anything wrong.

00:33:17.340 888-727-BECK.

00:33:18.640 It's Stu in for Glenn on the

00:33:20.280 Glenn Beck program.

00:33:24.240 Glenn Beck.

00:33:25.560 It's Stu in for Glenn Beck on a

00:33:27.240 day that Microsoft founder

00:33:29.880 Bill Gates is pouring

00:33:31.660 four million dollars into a

00:33:33.360 project to create

00:33:35.640 killer mosquitoes.

00:33:39.820 Now you might say,

00:33:41.160 why would anyone do such a thing?

00:33:44.460 Which is a good question.

00:33:45.780 Who wants killer mosquitoes to be

00:33:47.400 around?

00:33:48.160 I don't even like regular mosquitoes.

00:33:49.480 Why would we want killer ones?

00:33:50.560 Well,

00:33:51.680 the idea is to get rid of

00:33:53.380 malaria and malaria kills

00:33:54.620 millions of people.

00:33:55.660 I mean,

00:33:56.080 it is a really terrible thing.

00:33:57.740 A lot of people talk about

00:33:58.540 global warming as this giant

00:33:59.900 threat.

00:34:00.840 If we could just get the amount

00:34:02.700 of attention that we spend on

00:34:04.440 global warming,

00:34:05.320 a 0.9 degree temperature rise

00:34:07.140 over a century,

00:34:08.260 if we could only direct that

00:34:09.680 attention towards malaria in

00:34:11.520 impoverished nations,

00:34:12.960 we could really make an actual

00:34:14.600 difference.

00:34:15.760 And to Bill Gates' credit,

00:34:17.180 and I'm not a huge fan of Gates

00:34:18.400 on every issue by any means,

00:34:19.720 but he's doing this

00:34:20.580 to stop malaria.

00:34:22.560 By the way,

00:34:24.160 the killer mosquitoes are going

00:34:25.360 to kill each other

00:34:26.080 during sex.

00:34:29.540 Hashtag me too?

00:34:30.820 Anybody?

00:34:32.400 It's okay,

00:34:33.300 I guess,

00:34:33.660 because it's the male mosquitoes

00:34:35.220 killing the female mosquitoes.

00:34:37.280 I guess it's okay.

00:34:38.700 Violence against women.

00:34:41.520 But only female mosquitoes bite,

00:34:43.560 so Gates' army of gene-engineered

00:34:46.200 male mosquitoes would be

00:34:47.320 safe to humans.

00:34:48.620 This sounds like a Jurassic Park

00:34:49.960 movie.

00:34:50.160 The first scene from a Jurassic

00:34:51.620 Park sequel.

00:34:57.240 Glenn Beck.

00:34:59.140 Wow,

00:34:59.820 are we surrounded by stupid.

00:35:02.640 There is a lot of it out there.

00:35:06.300 Today's forecast calls for a

00:35:08.180 downpour of stupidity.

00:35:11.580 I feel like we are just,

00:35:13.120 we're at this point,

00:35:13.960 just bathing in it.

00:35:15.420 Every day,

00:35:16.520 it gets,

00:35:17.400 it surrounds us.

00:35:18.800 We're just all marinating

00:35:20.600 in stupidity.

00:35:23.320 Stupid arguments,

00:35:24.600 stupid points,

00:35:26.080 people who really are certain

00:35:29.260 that they're incredibly smart

00:35:31.420 saying things that are

00:35:33.040 incredibly stupid.

00:35:36.580 I feel like we're just like,

00:35:38.040 we,

00:35:38.460 there's a,

00:35:39.160 we're all living in a giant

00:35:40.300 crock pot,

00:35:41.000 and someone has just dumped

00:35:42.300 gallons of stupid

00:35:43.480 on top of us

00:35:44.120 and we sit here

00:35:44.820 and cook slowly in it

00:35:46.580 for years and years

00:35:48.740 and years and years

00:35:49.760 and this is the result.

00:35:52.760 The Supreme Court

00:35:53.900 is filled.

00:35:55.480 This whole argument

00:35:56.240 about who's going to replace

00:35:58.560 Anthony Kennedy

00:35:59.460 is just,

00:36:01.800 it's hard to fight through

00:36:03.820 the stupid.

00:36:05.460 It's so thick.

00:36:06.480 Let's begin though

00:36:08.880 with Chuck Schumer.

00:36:10.840 Now Schumer,

00:36:12.760 I don't think there's

00:36:13.400 a lot of people arguing

00:36:14.500 that he's not stupid,

00:36:16.660 but maybe there's

00:36:17.380 somebody out there.

00:36:18.060 Let's see if I can,

00:36:18.780 I can give you an example

00:36:20.840 of the way he's handling

00:36:22.620 this particular moment

00:36:23.980 in history.

00:36:25.060 Chuck Schumer talking

00:36:26.120 about the replacement

00:36:27.620 for Kennedy.

00:36:28.240 Our Republican colleagues

00:36:30.480 in the Senate

00:36:31.060 should follow the rule

00:36:32.780 they set in 2016,

00:36:35.340 not to consider

00:36:37.120 a Supreme Court justice

00:36:38.440 in an election year.

00:36:40.800 Senator McConnell

00:36:41.920 would tell anyone

00:36:42.840 who listened

00:36:43.520 that the Senate

00:36:44.840 had the right

00:36:45.440 to advise and consent

00:36:46.680 and that was

00:36:48.300 every bit as important

00:36:49.540 as the president's right

00:36:51.560 to nominate.

00:36:54.080 Millions of people

00:36:55.220 are just months away

00:36:56.440 from determining

00:36:57.320 the senators

00:36:58.100 who should vote

00:36:58.900 to confirm or reject

00:37:00.080 the president's nominee

00:37:01.200 and their voices

00:37:02.800 deserve to be heard now

00:37:05.100 as Leader McConnell

00:37:06.440 thought they should

00:37:07.360 deserve to be heard then.

00:37:09.480 Mmm,

00:37:09.920 because he just cares

00:37:10.920 so much about

00:37:11.800 what Mitch McConnell thinks.

00:37:14.760 Now this one

00:37:15.620 is a little bit hard

00:37:16.300 to call stupid

00:37:17.020 because there's

00:37:18.380 no way

00:37:19.840 he believes it.

00:37:21.560 That's the most

00:37:22.340 important thing

00:37:22.900 you need to take

00:37:23.320 from this.

00:37:24.480 Is that yes,

00:37:25.500 the argument

00:37:25.920 is absolutely ridiculous.

00:37:27.320 but also

00:37:29.280 there's no way

00:37:30.500 he actually

00:37:31.160 believes it.

00:37:32.600 Everyone knows

00:37:33.980 the conversation

00:37:35.460 was clear.

00:37:37.100 We were talking

00:37:38.140 about a presidential

00:37:39.200 election.

00:37:42.280 2016,

00:37:43.460 there was a

00:37:43.920 presidential election

00:37:44.940 and they held out

00:37:46.520 to keep the seat

00:37:47.940 without going

00:37:49.120 for a vote

00:37:49.720 for the death

00:37:50.920 of Antonin Scalia

00:37:51.680 to replace him

00:37:52.420 with Merrick Garland

00:37:53.140 which is what

00:37:53.540 Obama wanted.

00:37:56.180 Stunningly,

00:37:56.660 he wanted to name

00:37:57.560 a left-wing justice

00:37:59.480 to replace Scalia

00:38:00.700 and McConnell

00:38:02.000 wanted none of it.

00:38:03.700 Him holding that line

00:38:04.920 is the

00:38:05.260 potentially part

00:38:06.940 of the reason

00:38:07.320 why you have Gorsuch.

00:38:08.160 We'll get into that

00:38:08.600 here in just a moment.

00:38:09.340 But the idea

00:38:11.720 that you're going

00:38:12.080 to wait

00:38:12.520 in an election

00:38:13.160 year because

00:38:13.680 there's an election

00:38:14.240 going on

00:38:14.820 means that you

00:38:15.360 disqualify all

00:38:16.500 of the years.

00:38:17.860 Every year

00:38:18.700 has an election.

00:38:20.320 There's always

00:38:21.260 a senator running.

00:38:23.620 There's always,

00:38:24.380 you're always

00:38:25.300 within a year

00:38:26.680 of some senator

00:38:27.820 being elected

00:38:28.600 at all times

00:38:29.800 because there's

00:38:30.660 always a special

00:38:31.320 election.

00:38:32.120 There's always

00:38:32.460 something going on.

00:38:33.960 And if you don't

00:38:34.460 have senators,

00:38:35.020 you've got governors.

00:38:35.720 If you don't

00:38:36.320 have governors,

00:38:36.940 you've got

00:38:37.240 house members,

00:38:38.760 you've got mayors,

00:38:40.160 you've got local

00:38:40.980 dog catchers.

00:38:42.320 They will use

00:38:43.060 anything.

00:38:46.480 There's always

00:38:47.520 an election

00:38:48.160 of some sort

00:38:49.060 going on.

00:38:50.240 We would never

00:38:51.100 vote.

00:38:52.420 We'd be down to,

00:38:53.240 you'd have Gorsuch

00:38:54.300 at 112 years old

00:38:56.220 being the last

00:38:57.380 Supreme Court

00:38:57.940 justice begging

00:38:59.300 for somebody

00:38:59.900 to vote on

00:39:00.400 something.

00:39:01.380 There's always

00:39:02.300 an election.

00:39:03.000 That doesn't mean

00:39:03.380 you never have

00:39:04.440 a Supreme Court

00:39:05.580 justice in an

00:39:06.320 election year,

00:39:07.100 but the

00:39:07.980 presidential election

00:39:08.780 is what was

00:39:09.240 pointed out.

00:39:09.720 Now, as you

00:39:10.140 know, if you

00:39:10.500 listen to this

00:39:10.820 program for a

00:39:11.240 long time,

00:39:12.080 I think a

00:39:12.640 better way of

00:39:14.100 approaching this

00:39:14.860 was letting

00:39:16.320 Merrick Garland

00:39:16.960 get a vote

00:39:17.660 and voting him

00:39:18.860 down.

00:39:19.760 You had control

00:39:20.560 of the Senate,

00:39:21.140 just say no.

00:39:24.140 But that goes

00:39:24.960 to our, I mean,

00:39:26.760 that is another

00:39:27.260 dumb argument

00:39:27.860 people are making.

00:39:29.440 Oh, well,

00:39:30.480 hey, you guys

00:39:32.780 stole the seat

00:39:34.460 of Merrick Garland

00:39:36.220 and gave it to

00:39:37.140 Neil Gorsuch.

00:39:37.800 You know you

00:39:38.420 stole that seat.

00:39:39.260 The left is

00:39:39.600 saying that quite

00:39:40.100 a bit as well.

00:39:41.320 That's ridiculous.

00:39:43.180 Let's follow the

00:39:44.120 scenario here for a

00:39:44.940 minute.

00:39:45.200 Let's use our

00:39:46.060 noggins.

00:39:47.260 Pull the noodle

00:39:47.980 out and use it.

00:39:50.340 You got a noodle

00:39:51.260 up there?

00:39:52.060 Use it.

00:39:52.760 It's supposed to

00:39:53.260 do work.

00:39:57.200 If Merrick Garland

00:39:58.700 was put up for a

00:39:59.960 vote with the

00:40:01.040 Republican Senate,

00:40:01.940 by all

00:40:03.620 expectations,

00:40:04.780 they would say

00:40:05.380 no thank you

00:40:06.360 a few minutes

00:40:06.960 before, a few

00:40:07.600 months before the

00:40:08.200 election.

00:40:09.120 And then the

00:40:10.160 election would

00:40:10.680 have come and

00:40:11.820 Donald Trump

00:40:12.260 would have won

00:40:12.780 and then they

00:40:13.920 would have named

00:40:14.380 Neil Gorsuch

00:40:14.920 anyway.

00:40:16.200 So really those,

00:40:17.540 the only thing

00:40:18.420 that Mitch

00:40:19.180 McConnell did

00:40:19.880 there was

00:40:20.860 protect some

00:40:23.660 sort of

00:40:24.940 unforeseen

00:40:25.820 disaster in

00:40:27.400 which a bunch

00:40:28.440 of Republicans

00:40:29.040 decided, you

00:40:29.700 know what?

00:40:30.360 Yeah, we're

00:40:30.920 going to go for

00:40:31.460 it and go for

00:40:32.520 Merrick Garland.

00:40:33.600 It's not

00:40:34.200 impossible, which

00:40:35.300 is why he held

00:40:36.140 the line on

00:40:36.660 it, but it's

00:40:37.280 extraordinarily

00:40:37.880 unlikely because

00:40:40.420 it was such an

00:40:41.220 animating part of

00:40:42.460 the election.

00:40:44.180 It was a big

00:40:45.020 part of the

00:40:45.440 reason why

00:40:45.940 people went

00:40:46.460 out and voted

00:40:47.040 and not only

00:40:48.180 for Donald

00:40:48.600 Trump, but

00:40:49.100 for Republicans

00:40:50.100 down the

00:40:50.580 ballot.

00:40:52.440 So that's

00:40:53.040 another dumb

00:40:53.680 argument, dumb

00:40:54.420 argument number

00:40:54.940 two.

00:40:55.840 We're just

00:40:56.460 swimming through

00:40:57.220 the stupidity

00:40:57.920 here today.

00:40:59.240 Here's another

00:40:59.880 one from a

00:41:00.380 CNN analyst.

00:41:01.460 This is

00:41:01.860 Jeffrey Toobin

00:41:02.620 talking about

00:41:03.340 what the

00:41:04.080 future holds.

00:41:04.800 Listen.

00:41:05.640 Let's talk

00:41:06.200 about what

00:41:06.900 America is

00:41:07.780 going to be

00:41:08.180 like that's

00:41:09.140 different.

00:41:09.920 Oh, no.

00:41:10.640 You are going

00:41:11.240 to see 20

00:41:12.560 states pass

00:41:14.560 laws banning

00:41:15.740 abortion outright,

00:41:17.520 just banning

00:41:18.300 abortion, and

00:41:19.480 because they

00:41:20.580 know that

00:41:21.840 there are now

00:41:22.540 going to be

00:41:22.940 five votes on

00:41:23.640 the Supreme

00:41:24.040 Court to

00:41:24.480 overturn Roe v.

00:41:25.420 Wade.

00:41:25.640 abortion will

00:41:27.360 be illegal in

00:41:28.360 a significant

00:41:29.120 part of the

00:41:29.920 United States

00:41:30.760 in 18 months.

00:41:32.540 There is just

00:41:33.440 no doubt about

00:41:34.560 that, and

00:41:35.320 that's why

00:41:36.060 these seats

00:41:36.640 matter so

00:41:37.260 much.

00:41:37.840 There's no

00:41:38.660 doubt about

00:41:39.280 that.

00:41:39.680 I've got news

00:41:40.540 for you.

00:41:41.080 There's lots

00:41:41.880 of doubt

00:41:42.280 about that.

00:41:43.920 There's one I

00:41:44.720 would love to

00:41:45.140 be true.

00:41:46.380 You know, I

00:41:46.740 consider the

00:41:48.500 pro-life issue

00:41:49.320 to be incredibly

00:41:50.640 important.

00:41:51.260 And when

00:41:52.920 we talk about

00:41:53.400 a tax break

00:41:54.340 here, a

00:41:55.560 regulation cut

00:41:56.480 there, all of

00:41:58.160 those pale in

00:41:59.060 comparison to

00:42:00.280 the fact that

00:42:00.760 60 million

00:42:01.600 children that

00:42:02.580 should be here

00:42:03.560 are not here.

00:42:05.060 It's a really

00:42:06.180 big deal.

00:42:07.260 So I applaud

00:42:09.080 the idea that

00:42:10.760 Roe v.

00:42:11.380 Wade gets

00:42:11.780 overturned.

00:42:12.380 It was terribly

00:42:13.180 decided in the

00:42:13.940 first place, and

00:42:14.460 it's led to

00:42:15.020 tens of millions

00:42:16.080 of people that

00:42:17.300 should be alive

00:42:17.880 that aren't.

00:42:19.500 So yeah, I

00:42:20.020 think that's a

00:42:20.460 really positive

00:42:21.600 outcome if Roe

00:42:22.440 v.

00:42:22.760 Wade gets

00:42:23.560 overturned.

00:42:24.280 But think of

00:42:24.920 how far we

00:42:25.540 have to get

00:42:26.080 there.

00:42:26.860 First of all,

00:42:27.460 Donald Trump

00:42:27.900 has to name

00:42:29.080 a good Supreme

00:42:30.580 Court justice.

00:42:31.900 Now, the first

00:42:32.500 time, he did a

00:42:32.940 great job, it

00:42:33.480 seems, with

00:42:34.080 Neil Gorsuch.

00:42:35.120 Though we

00:42:35.380 don't know for

00:42:35.860 sure.

00:42:36.280 I think it's

00:42:36.860 always too

00:42:37.440 early to tell

00:42:37.940 a couple of

00:42:38.340 years into

00:42:38.720 something like

00:42:39.180 this.

00:42:40.360 You know,

00:42:40.580 John Roberts

00:42:41.060 looked great,

00:42:41.700 I think, the

00:42:42.300 first year or

00:42:42.880 two.

00:42:43.520 And then slowly

00:42:44.340 you're like,

00:42:44.760 who is this

00:42:46.120 guy?

00:42:47.040 So you never

00:42:47.580 know, but I'm

00:42:48.600 very confident in

00:42:49.880 Neil Gorsuch.

00:42:50.460 If Donald Trump

00:42:51.140 got Neil Gorsuch

00:42:51.760 wrong, I also

00:42:52.500 got Neil Gorsuch

00:42:53.160 wrong.

00:42:53.840 Neil Gorsuch,

00:42:54.560 not only did

00:42:55.720 Trump pick off

00:42:56.960 the list that he

00:42:57.960 promised to pick

00:42:58.520 off of, which I

00:42:59.500 was not sure of

00:43:00.020 at the time, he

00:43:00.680 did.

00:43:01.700 Not only did he

00:43:02.380 pick off the

00:43:02.840 list, I think he

00:43:03.400 picked on the

00:43:04.140 right side of the

00:43:05.420 list.

00:43:06.400 He picked one of

00:43:07.120 the best justices

00:43:07.980 available on the

00:43:08.980 list.

00:43:10.340 And so far,

00:43:11.140 Gorsuch has been

00:43:11.860 fantastic.

00:43:12.940 Do we think he's

00:43:13.420 going to be on the

00:43:14.180 right side of Roe

00:43:14.720 v. Wade?

00:43:15.180 Yeah, we do.

00:43:16.200 But he still needs

00:43:17.080 to do it again.

00:43:18.140 You know, George

00:43:19.020 W. Bush named

00:43:19.840 Sam Alito and

00:43:20.780 John Roberts.

00:43:21.640 Did a great job

00:43:22.600 with Alito.

00:43:25.080 You know, we have

00:43:27.220 seen Republicans

00:43:28.240 miss on these

00:43:29.520 things for a long

00:43:30.480 time.

00:43:31.280 Now, the way

00:43:31.680 Donald Trump is

00:43:32.240 doing it is really

00:43:33.100 encouraging.

00:43:33.980 He's bringing in

00:43:34.620 experts.

00:43:35.860 He's not trying to

00:43:36.560 do it himself.

00:43:37.080 If you remember

00:43:38.180 Souter, who was

00:43:39.080 appointed by George

00:43:41.320 H.W.

00:43:41.920 Bush, the thing

00:43:43.500 there was, oh,

00:43:45.120 well, John

00:43:46.480 Sununu said he's

00:43:47.180 good.

00:43:47.460 He's my friend.

00:43:49.460 And we sort of

00:43:50.200 like, okay, he must

00:43:51.160 be pretty good.

00:43:51.840 You name him and he

00:43:52.560 becomes one of the

00:43:53.200 most liberal

00:43:53.720 justices on the

00:43:54.660 court.

00:43:56.540 So real disasters

00:43:57.760 like that have

00:43:58.320 happened.

00:43:58.960 Kennedy, I mean,

00:43:59.680 even Reagan, right?

00:44:01.180 Reagan.

00:44:02.360 You've got Kennedy

00:44:03.280 and that was,

00:44:05.140 has only been,

00:44:06.220 it's been up and

00:44:06.900 down at the best.

00:44:09.060 It's been up and

00:44:09.540 down.

00:44:09.940 So first you have to

00:44:10.620 pick the right

00:44:11.020 justice.

00:44:11.700 Then you have to

00:44:12.180 get them approved.

00:44:13.940 You got to get them

00:44:14.680 confirmed, which is

00:44:15.680 not going to be easy

00:44:16.600 because of certain

00:44:19.260 senators.

00:44:21.400 I'll give you a

00:44:22.240 couple, Susan

00:44:23.640 Collins and Lisa

00:44:24.600 Murkowski.

00:44:25.720 And I'll also give

00:44:26.500 you John McCain.

00:44:27.640 John McCain

00:44:28.120 obviously has not

00:44:29.060 voted on anything

00:44:29.720 in months.

00:44:30.560 We have no idea

00:44:31.180 of whether he's

00:44:32.000 physically able to

00:44:32.980 go and vote

00:44:33.680 anyway.

00:44:34.440 That brings you to

00:44:35.360 a 50-50 or 50-49

00:44:37.200 scenario, which

00:44:39.140 means you have to

00:44:39.620 hold everybody

00:44:40.720 in the court.

00:44:43.640 And, you know,

00:44:45.780 maybe you pick up

00:44:46.520 a Democrat.

00:44:47.400 It's possible

00:44:48.000 because of the way

00:44:49.000 these elections are

00:44:49.840 running and they

00:44:50.400 want to win in

00:44:51.520 Trump-friendly

00:44:52.720 states.

00:44:53.620 But you got to

00:44:54.360 get them through

00:44:54.840 and that's going to

00:44:55.600 be really freaking

00:44:56.480 hard.

00:44:58.280 Then after that,

00:44:59.480 you got to get a

00:44:59.940 court case to come

00:45:00.640 all the way up

00:45:01.080 through the court

00:45:01.500 case, through the

00:45:02.700 system.

00:45:03.360 And then you have

00:45:04.060 to have the

00:45:04.420 correct ruling.

00:45:05.140 Are you, I mean,

00:45:06.020 ask yourself this.

00:45:06.860 Are you confident

00:45:07.600 that John Roberts

00:45:08.320 is going to be

00:45:08.740 right on Roe

00:45:09.200 versus Wade

00:45:09.620 on overturning

00:45:10.560 it?

00:45:11.360 Do you believe

00:45:12.040 that?

00:45:12.540 Are you 100%

00:45:13.460 confident that John

00:45:14.400 Roberts is going to

00:45:15.120 vote your way on

00:45:15.820 that?

00:45:16.260 Do you remember

00:45:17.020 his ruling in not

00:45:18.440 one but two

00:45:19.200 Obamacare cases?

00:45:21.680 Where he

00:45:22.220 essentially rewrote

00:45:23.580 the entire law

00:45:24.760 to make Obamacare

00:45:26.040 succeed?

00:45:26.600 I have very

00:45:30.060 limited confidence

00:45:31.020 in that.

00:45:32.220 And the big part

00:45:33.880 of this is that

00:45:34.760 Roberts wants to

00:45:36.580 keep his legacy

00:45:37.900 going.

00:45:39.020 And he doesn't

00:45:39.720 want to be seen

00:45:40.560 as someone who's

00:45:41.300 overturned these

00:45:42.220 things.

00:45:42.520 Do it legislatively,

00:45:43.540 he wants.

00:45:44.600 Now, of course,

00:45:45.200 I typically agree

00:45:46.280 with that.

00:45:46.540 That's where laws

00:45:47.100 are supposed to

00:45:47.640 be made.

00:45:48.300 However, the

00:45:48.720 Constitution is

00:45:49.380 supposed to be

00:45:49.700 respected in the

00:45:50.300 court.

00:45:51.400 The Constitution

00:45:51.900 was brutalized

00:45:54.000 in the Roe

00:45:54.680 versus Wade.

00:45:55.860 It was an

00:45:56.300 attack.

00:45:57.260 They actually

00:45:57.820 attacked the

00:45:58.480 Constitution.

00:45:59.520 The Constitution

00:46:00.180 filed charges

00:46:01.460 against the

00:46:02.500 court after that

00:46:03.440 ruling.

00:46:05.180 And Kennedy

00:46:06.120 went the same

00:46:06.760 way in the

00:46:07.400 Casey decision

00:46:08.080 that maintained

00:46:09.520 abortion rights.

00:46:10.500 Do we have

00:46:11.340 any confidence

00:46:12.380 that John

00:46:13.020 Roberts is going

00:46:13.560 to be right on

00:46:14.000 that, even if

00:46:14.700 Trump names the

00:46:15.600 perfect justice?

00:46:16.420 I don't.

00:46:18.240 I think you

00:46:18.940 might see little

00:46:19.500 bits and pieces

00:46:20.080 of it.

00:46:20.900 nipped away at

00:46:21.780 the edges.

00:46:24.060 It may be more

00:46:25.420 freedom for states

00:46:26.940 to be able to

00:46:27.700 restrict abortion

00:46:28.440 in ways they've

00:46:29.340 attempted and been

00:46:30.020 overturned in the

00:46:30.740 past.

00:46:31.340 But the idea that

00:46:32.880 18 months from

00:46:33.880 now, 20 states

00:46:35.020 are going to have

00:46:35.400 abortion illegal

00:46:36.060 is absolutely

00:46:39.040 not a certainty.

00:46:41.840 Roe versus

00:46:42.240 Wade is not yet

00:46:43.220 doomed.

00:46:44.260 It's not feeling

00:46:45.160 too well.

00:46:46.960 It's a little

00:46:47.800 sick.

00:46:48.940 But it is not

00:46:50.000 dying yet.

00:46:51.020 And by the

00:46:51.340 way, let's

00:46:52.620 look at the

00:46:53.000 scenario for a

00:46:53.580 second.

00:46:54.200 Roe versus

00:46:54.620 Wade being

00:46:55.200 overturned, in

00:46:55.960 case you don't

00:46:56.420 know, does not

00:46:57.480 at all mean that

00:46:58.940 abortion is

00:46:59.580 illegal.

00:47:00.720 It just means it

00:47:01.680 goes back to the

00:47:02.380 states.

00:47:02.780 So what does that

00:47:03.580 mean?

00:47:03.820 Have you ever been

00:47:04.900 out of your

00:47:05.640 state?

00:47:06.620 Has that ever

00:47:07.340 occurred in your

00:47:08.080 life?

00:47:08.720 Have you ever

00:47:09.240 been in, let's

00:47:09.840 say, Utah and

00:47:10.880 driven across the

00:47:12.240 border to another

00:47:13.180 state?

00:47:13.540 Have you ever

00:47:14.780 gone to a

00:47:15.840 place that has

00:47:16.540 large pieces of

00:47:18.420 tarmac in which

00:47:20.640 these things with

00:47:21.700 wings take off and

00:47:23.740 go into the air and

00:47:25.160 then they land in

00:47:25.880 other places?

00:47:26.460 There are other

00:47:27.200 states with different

00:47:27.900 laws.

00:47:28.520 Has that ever

00:47:29.500 occurred for

00:47:30.300 anyone?

00:47:31.640 My guess is it

00:47:32.300 has.

00:47:33.600 I mean, at the

00:47:34.200 absolute maximum,

00:47:36.460 people are going to

00:47:37.220 be able to get

00:47:38.740 into a plane and

00:47:40.220 fly or drive across

00:47:42.360 a border and get

00:47:43.340 an abortion, which

00:47:44.260 will maybe increase

00:47:45.580 the cost at some

00:47:46.480 level and maybe

00:47:47.760 increase the time

00:47:49.000 spent.

00:47:50.340 God forbid you'd

00:47:52.060 have to drive 90

00:47:53.400 minutes to kill

00:47:55.080 your child.

00:47:56.320 What an utter

00:47:57.380 inconvenience.

00:48:01.240 Is that too much

00:48:02.320 to ask?

00:48:03.960 I guess it is in

00:48:07.000 our society today,

00:48:07.980 but this is so

00:48:09.680 over-dramatized.

00:48:10.880 You think

00:48:13.040 California is

00:48:14.320 making abortion

00:48:15.120 illegal?

00:48:16.600 You think

00:48:17.020 Rhode Island is

00:48:18.880 pulling the trigger

00:48:19.640 on banning

00:48:20.980 abortions?

00:48:22.460 Do you think

00:48:23.400 that's happening?

00:48:25.120 The insanity

00:48:26.660 going on, you

00:48:27.700 have multiple

00:48:28.520 steps before Roe

00:48:29.840 versus Wade could

00:48:30.360 even be overturned.

00:48:32.920 Through all of

00:48:34.160 those steps, each

00:48:35.060 one of them is

00:48:36.220 at some level

00:48:37.060 uncertain.

00:48:38.460 Some of which

00:48:39.240 you can't even get

00:48:39.900 over 50% in

00:48:40.960 believing it's

00:48:41.400 going to happen.

00:48:42.280 And then if all

00:48:43.020 of those things

00:48:43.560 happen, you still

00:48:44.660 can drive 90

00:48:45.560 minutes to cross

00:48:46.120 the border,

00:48:46.820 depending on what

00:48:47.480 state you're in.

00:48:50.940 I mean, if it's

00:48:53.340 that, again, this

00:48:54.200 is not something

00:48:54.740 that happens

00:48:55.200 weekly, right?

00:48:56.880 I'm not all that

00:48:57.960 familiar with the

00:48:59.100 female anatomy, but

00:49:00.060 my understanding is

00:49:01.040 you can't have

00:49:01.520 abortions three

00:49:02.240 times a week.

00:49:03.400 This is something

00:49:03.900 that would be

00:49:04.320 somewhat of a rare

00:49:05.560 occurrence.

00:49:06.080 the fact that

00:49:07.600 you may need

00:49:08.320 to travel to

00:49:09.480 a state that

00:49:10.100 has different

00:49:10.600 laws, just

00:49:11.740 like you travel

00:49:12.480 to Nevada to

00:49:13.320 gamble.

00:49:14.520 Now you can

00:49:15.140 gamble in many

00:49:15.640 other places, but

00:49:16.420 you travel to

00:49:18.500 other states.

00:49:19.060 I mean, a lot

00:49:19.620 of, you'll see

00:49:20.540 a lot of people

00:49:21.100 going to Colorado

00:49:21.960 to partake in a

00:49:24.040 little somewhat

00:49:26.180 legalized marijuana.

00:49:27.460 Not really legal,

00:49:29.200 but somewhat

00:49:29.840 legalized marijuana.

00:49:31.660 People do that.

00:49:32.580 this would be

00:49:33.720 something that you

00:49:34.300 would have to

00:49:34.920 travel for in this

00:49:35.660 situation.

00:49:36.820 But I mean, when

00:49:37.700 we're told it's the

00:49:38.500 ultimate human right,

00:49:40.040 you're not willing

00:49:40.620 to hop in your

00:49:41.660 Hyundai for an

00:49:42.480 hour?

00:49:47.460 That's just, what,

00:49:48.500 number three on our

00:49:49.740 stupid argument list?

00:49:51.260 We've got one from

00:49:52.380 Whoopi Goldberg that

00:49:54.140 you're not even

00:49:54.920 going to want to.

00:49:55.640 It will never leave

00:49:57.820 your mind once I

00:49:59.320 play it for you.

00:50:00.680 At some point,

00:50:01.800 thirty years from

00:50:03.140 now, you will be

00:50:04.120 thinking about the

00:50:05.080 audio clip I'm about

00:50:06.060 to play for you.

00:50:07.680 And you know what

00:50:08.340 you're going to think

00:50:08.720 at that moment?

00:50:10.540 Stu, who's now long

00:50:12.160 dead because he was

00:50:12.900 so unhealthy, I hated

00:50:14.980 that guy.

00:50:16.760 Why did I stick

00:50:17.740 around to listen to

00:50:18.540 that clip?

00:50:19.880 I'm going to do it

00:50:20.700 to you in just a

00:50:21.880 moment.

00:50:22.160 It's Stu in for

00:50:22.860 Glenn Beck on the

00:50:23.380 Glenn Beck program.

00:50:26.300 Glenn Beck.

00:50:27.420 I am about to

00:50:28.300 destroy your soul.

00:50:29.560 If you listen to

00:50:31.520 the end of this

00:50:31.980 break, you will

00:50:33.020 never forget it.

00:50:34.020 And you may never

00:50:34.900 forgive yourself.

00:50:36.620 If you have small

00:50:37.600 children in the car,

00:50:38.560 they're going to be

00:50:39.200 alive for too long

00:50:40.960 to outlive the

00:50:42.960 regret.

00:50:45.600 Eventually, maybe,

00:50:46.620 a hundred years from

00:50:47.440 now, they will

00:50:48.440 forget this, but that

00:50:49.300 hundred years is too

00:50:50.080 long.

00:50:50.720 So I warn you, if

00:50:51.900 you have small

00:50:52.400 children, this is not

00:50:53.120 the moment for them.

00:50:54.600 It's really not the

00:50:55.660 moment for you, too.

00:50:57.220 Here is Whoopi

00:50:57.960 Goldberg talking

00:50:59.500 about the Supreme

00:51:00.480 Court.

00:51:01.240 I have to tell you,

00:51:02.140 as a woman, I think

00:51:03.140 you're trying to take

00:51:03.780 my rights away.

00:51:04.720 That's right.

00:51:05.120 Okay?

00:51:05.480 You don't care.

00:51:07.020 I mean, and as a

00:51:08.420 person who believes

00:51:10.540 in the Constitution,

00:51:11.940 which tells me that I

00:51:13.120 have the right to be

00:51:14.560 myself and do the

00:51:15.680 things I want to do,

00:51:16.560 and I don't have to

00:51:17.660 listen to what your

00:51:18.720 religion is, and I

00:51:19.640 don't have to listen

00:51:20.420 to what you want it

00:51:21.480 to be, I have to

00:51:22.620 make sure that as an

00:51:23.680 American citizen, I'm

00:51:24.700 doing the right stuff

00:51:25.680 and taking care of

00:51:27.080 business.

00:51:27.500 I don't like this

00:51:28.460 line that I, as a

00:51:30.860 Democrat or an

00:51:31.760 Independent or whatever,

00:51:33.040 is trying to take

00:51:33.880 away anything from

00:51:34.760 you.

00:51:34.880 I'm trying to hold

00:51:35.500 on to my personal

00:51:36.660 rights so that you

00:51:38.080 can have the rights

00:51:39.060 you want.

00:51:39.560 See, because if you

00:51:40.160 take mine, I feel

00:51:42.860 like you're the one

00:51:44.320 with the problem.

00:51:45.160 If you take my right

00:51:46.280 away from me to

00:51:47.380 judge what I do for

00:51:48.340 my family and my

00:51:49.480 body, I got a little

00:51:50.540 problem with that.

00:51:51.400 You got a problem.

00:51:52.180 You don't want people

00:51:53.740 to take your guns.

00:51:54.380 Get out of my

00:51:55.420 behind.

00:51:56.360 Get out of my

00:51:56.920 vagina.

00:51:57.960 Get out.

00:52:02.480 I can promise you

00:52:06.480 this, Whoopi.

00:52:08.720 Literally no one on

00:52:09.960 earth has a problem

00:52:11.060 with that request.

00:52:14.540 All people, big and

00:52:16.220 small, will run from

00:52:20.100 that particular

00:52:20.580 location.

00:52:22.660 They say real

00:52:23.480 estate is all about

00:52:24.300 location.

00:52:26.120 This is an example

00:52:27.180 of that.

00:52:28.360 People are trying to

00:52:29.560 move away from that

00:52:30.740 particular location as

00:52:32.220 quickly as possible.

00:52:36.580 I love the logic

00:52:37.880 there.

00:52:38.700 Isn't it wonderful how

00:52:40.640 you can completely

00:52:41.420 separate yourself from

00:52:42.660 the other life that

00:52:43.580 you're talking about?

00:52:44.280 She says she had the

00:52:46.320 constitution gives her

00:52:47.520 the right to be

00:52:48.460 myself.

00:52:49.880 What a wonderful

00:52:51.020 little, uh, little

00:52:53.120 greeting card thing

00:52:54.540 there.

00:52:55.580 It gives me the right

00:52:57.160 to be myself.

00:53:01.060 It gives me the right

00:53:02.160 to do what I want to

00:53:03.740 do.

00:53:05.560 It gives me the right

00:53:07.280 to go ahead and

00:53:09.380 quote, do the right

00:53:10.840 stuff.

00:53:11.940 Whatever that is.

00:53:12.760 The problem here is

00:53:15.220 what you're doing, the

00:53:16.360 action that you believe

00:53:17.500 you have the right

00:53:18.320 to, does not allow

00:53:19.960 someone else to be

00:53:22.060 themselves.

00:53:23.060 Does not allow

00:53:23.900 someone else to do

00:53:25.620 the right stuff.

00:53:26.800 Does not allow

00:53:27.500 someone else to do

00:53:29.220 what they want to do

00:53:30.640 because they never

00:53:32.000 are born.

00:53:34.500 They never have the

00:53:35.780 right to do anything

00:53:36.720 except have their

00:53:37.740 heart beat, which is

00:53:39.600 what is going on when

00:53:40.700 you end their life.

00:53:42.760 absolutely revolting

00:53:47.060 clip aside.

00:53:48.280 It's an important

00:53:49.160 point and way too

00:53:50.180 many people think

00:53:50.940 that way.

00:53:51.620 Back with more in a

00:53:52.520 second.

00:53:57.820 You're listening to

00:53:58.680 the Glenn Beck

00:53:59.220 program.

00:54:00.400 888-727-BECK is

00:54:01.900 the phone number.

00:54:02.880 Welcome to the

00:54:03.420 program.

00:54:03.840 It's Stu filling in

00:54:04.720 for Glenn.

00:54:05.300 He's on vacation.

00:54:06.840 Some well-deserved

00:54:07.800 time off, so he

00:54:09.420 tells me.

00:54:11.000 So Trump supporter

00:54:12.180 Pam Bondi, who is

00:54:14.780 the Florida Attorney

00:54:16.060 General, was at a

00:54:16.940 movie recently.

00:54:18.060 She went to go see

00:54:18.580 the Mr. Rogers

00:54:19.440 documentary.

00:54:20.780 And she was shouted

00:54:21.900 down and booted out

00:54:23.180 of the theater,

00:54:23.760 basically.

00:54:25.380 Which is a

00:54:25.800 completely ridiculous

00:54:26.720 thing.

00:54:28.560 This is like the...

00:54:30.720 It's civility, folks.

00:54:32.700 This is the way of the

00:54:33.540 day.

00:54:34.780 Civility rules,

00:54:36.180 doesn't it?

00:54:36.640 I mean, the most

00:54:38.220 civil guy in the

00:54:39.140 universe, Mr. Rogers,

00:54:40.780 and you're booting

00:54:41.400 people out of the

00:54:42.020 theater because you

00:54:42.620 disagree with them

00:54:43.280 on politics?

00:54:46.320 Could there be a

00:54:46.900 more pathetic

00:54:47.720 example?

00:54:49.440 And this is

00:54:49.920 happening all over

00:54:50.880 the place now.

00:54:51.460 Maxine Waters,

00:54:52.220 famously, has been

00:54:53.960 encouraging people to

00:54:54.820 do it.

00:54:55.160 Sarah Huckabee

00:54:55.740 Sanders has been a

00:54:57.280 victim of this.

00:55:00.040 The DHS secretary

00:55:01.560 has dealt with it.

00:55:02.580 There's a lot going

00:55:03.540 on on this front.

00:55:04.980 But I'm amazed that

00:55:05.920 it could happen at

00:55:06.620 a Mr. Rogers

00:55:07.580 movie.

00:55:09.020 Mr. Rogers was

00:55:09.780 so civil, so

00:55:12.620 specific in his

00:55:15.320 wording, so

00:55:16.400 concerned with the

00:55:18.140 way kids received

00:55:21.260 the things he

00:55:21.880 talked about.

00:55:23.140 And he talked

00:55:23.620 about actually some

00:55:24.580 complicated topics

00:55:25.500 at times.

00:55:25.900 You go back and

00:55:26.320 look at some of the

00:55:26.880 clips from him,

00:55:27.400 you're like, why

00:55:27.960 did he do a show

00:55:28.900 on physics?

00:55:29.660 I don't know!

00:55:31.420 Did he really need

00:55:32.520 to go that far in

00:55:33.860 depth on quantum

00:55:34.680 physics?

00:55:35.100 Yes, he did.

00:55:35.660 That was a crazy

00:55:38.420 episode.

00:55:39.220 You really go back

00:55:39.820 and you find him

00:55:41.260 talking about things

00:55:41.880 like inflation.

00:55:43.780 He's just like,

00:55:44.880 what?

00:55:46.500 Let me talk about

00:55:47.500 quantitative easing,

00:55:48.920 neighbor.

00:55:50.300 So it was kind of,

00:55:51.160 he really did try to

00:55:52.140 teach kids lots of

00:55:52.940 things, but they go

00:55:54.040 back and this

00:55:55.180 documentary is out

00:55:56.120 now and it's

00:55:56.460 supposed to be

00:55:57.060 great.

00:55:58.020 I mean, Mr.

00:55:58.560 Rogers oddly was a

00:55:59.980 real hero.

00:56:01.220 He really was.

00:56:01.980 You know,

00:56:02.720 somebody that I

00:56:03.200 grew up with,

00:56:03.860 I was thinking

00:56:04.140 the other day of

00:56:04.660 like, my kids

00:56:05.100 have never even

00:56:05.620 seen it.

00:56:07.640 Never seen Mr.

00:56:08.520 Rogers.

00:56:08.820 They're five and

00:56:09.600 six and they've

00:56:11.080 never seen it.

00:56:12.240 I don't, I mean,

00:56:13.060 I don't even know

00:56:13.740 if it airs anymore.

00:56:14.760 I mean, I'm sure I

00:56:15.320 could find it if I

00:56:15.980 wanted to, but.

00:56:17.480 So the new movie is

00:56:18.420 called The Good

00:56:18.860 Neighbor, The Life

00:56:19.580 and the work of

00:56:20.120 Fred Rogers.

00:56:21.740 And there's a

00:56:22.760 fascinating part of

00:56:23.720 this when they go

00:56:26.160 into the history of

00:56:27.520 Rogers and they

00:56:29.100 talk about how he

00:56:30.860 had a nine-step

00:56:32.420 process to translate

00:56:35.080 the ideas he wanted

00:56:36.340 to communicate to

00:56:37.060 the children into

00:56:40.100 more specifically,

00:56:42.140 more friendly,

00:56:44.040 more understandable

00:56:45.300 concepts for

00:56:46.240 toddlers.

00:56:46.740 and the people

00:56:49.240 who worked with

00:56:49.780 them called it,

00:56:50.660 they basically

00:56:51.280 created a new

00:56:51.940 language called

00:56:52.540 Freddish, which is

00:56:55.040 pretty crazy.

00:56:56.540 And they actually

00:56:57.240 had nine steps.

00:56:58.020 Listen to this.

00:56:58.980 Listen to the work

00:56:59.980 that went into that

00:57:00.520 show.

00:57:00.760 This is a guy

00:57:01.260 talking to a trolley.

00:57:03.540 Okay?

00:57:04.120 He's talking to a

00:57:05.000 trolley.

00:57:05.920 That's what I

00:57:06.500 remember about that

00:57:07.140 show.

00:57:07.740 A lot went into it.

00:57:09.920 Step one, state the

00:57:11.000 idea you wish to

00:57:11.760 express as clearly as

00:57:13.080 possible and in terms

00:57:14.080 preschoolers can

00:57:14.920 understand.

00:57:15.680 I think there's a

00:57:16.280 lesson to be learned

00:57:17.080 here.

00:57:17.980 So here's the first

00:57:18.600 example.

00:57:19.040 It is dangerous to

00:57:19.960 play in the street.

00:57:21.320 You want to

00:57:21.560 communicate that?

00:57:22.840 Step two, rephrase it

00:57:24.000 in a positive manner.

00:57:25.380 As in, it's good to

00:57:27.280 play where it is safe.

00:57:31.600 Number three, rephrase

00:57:33.000 the idea bearing in

00:57:34.040 mind that preschoolers

00:57:35.060 cannot make subtle

00:57:36.080 distinctions and need

00:57:37.500 to be redirected to

00:57:38.580 authorities they

00:57:39.740 trust.

00:57:41.060 As in, ask your

00:57:42.420 parents where it's

00:57:43.420 safe to play.

00:57:44.980 See how it's

00:57:45.300 revolving how that

00:57:46.020 phrase from it's

00:57:46.620 dangerous to play in

00:57:47.380 the street is already

00:57:48.120 ask your parents where

00:57:49.120 it's safe to play.

00:57:50.660 Then, step four,

00:57:51.740 rephrase your idea to

00:57:52.720 eliminate all elements

00:57:53.900 that could be

00:57:54.420 considered prescriptive,

00:57:55.660 directive, or

00:57:56.360 instructive.

00:57:57.160 In the example, that

00:57:58.060 would mean getting rid

00:57:58.720 of ask.

00:58:00.180 Your parents will tell

00:58:01.600 you where it is safe

00:58:03.220 to play.

00:58:05.640 Step five, rephrase any

00:58:07.320 element that suggests

00:58:08.300 certainty.

00:58:09.400 That would be will in

00:58:10.560 this example.

00:58:11.620 Your parents can tell

00:58:13.120 you where it is safe

00:58:14.000 to play.

00:58:15.720 Why is this even

00:58:16.680 better?

00:58:17.240 This is a lot of work

00:58:18.360 to get here.

00:58:19.840 Step six, rephrase

00:58:20.900 your idea to

00:58:21.460 eliminate any element

00:58:22.360 that may not apply to

00:58:23.240 all children.

00:58:24.240 Not all children know

00:58:25.160 their parents, so,

00:58:26.560 this is like the

00:58:27.080 politically correct back

00:58:28.120 in the day.

00:58:29.500 Your favorite grown-ups

00:58:30.900 can tell you where it

00:58:32.620 is safe to play.

00:58:34.900 Step seven, add a

00:58:36.240 simple motivational idea

00:58:38.100 that gives preschoolers

00:58:39.120 a reason to follow

00:58:39.780 your advice.

00:58:40.360 Perhaps your favorite

00:58:41.740 grown-ups can tell you

00:58:42.840 where it's safe to play.

00:58:44.260 It's good to listen to

00:58:45.860 them.

00:58:48.520 Step eight, I mean,

00:58:49.840 this is a lot of work.

00:58:52.200 Step eight, rephrase

00:58:53.100 your new statement

00:58:53.760 repeating the first

00:58:54.660 step.

00:58:55.280 Good represents a value

00:58:56.800 judgment, so, your

00:58:58.060 favorite grown-ups can

00:58:59.120 tell you where it's

00:58:59.940 safe to play.

00:59:00.540 It's important to try

00:59:03.120 to listen to them.

00:59:04.820 Then finally, rephrase

00:59:06.500 your final idea.

00:59:08.660 Relating it to some

00:59:09.560 phase of development,

00:59:10.460 a preschooler can

00:59:11.160 understand.

00:59:12.360 Your favorite grown-ups

00:59:13.340 can tell you where it's

00:59:15.000 safe to play.

00:59:17.420 It's important to try

00:59:18.480 to listen to them, and

00:59:19.300 listening is an important

00:59:20.800 part of growing.

00:59:24.260 I mean, that is quite a

00:59:25.740 process, though I think

00:59:27.100 we are actually more

00:59:28.460 familiar with that

00:59:29.080 process than we realize

00:59:29.960 because the media does

00:59:31.620 this all the time.

00:59:33.280 The media has a very

00:59:35.020 similar process.

00:59:36.580 process.

00:59:37.140 They take one thing,

00:59:39.460 they put it through

00:59:40.540 their cycle, and it

00:59:42.040 comes out on the other

00:59:42.880 side a completely

00:59:44.240 different way.

00:59:47.540 You start with

00:59:48.600 something, let's take

00:59:49.300 number one, take a

00:59:50.380 conservative idea

00:59:51.300 expressed as clearly as

00:59:52.700 possible.

00:59:53.880 Okay?

00:59:54.260 Conservative says

00:59:54.940 something.

00:59:55.300 Here's our example.

00:59:56.560 We want to lower taxes

00:59:57.700 so that people can keep

00:59:59.160 more of their money and

01:00:00.580 spend it as they choose.

01:00:02.080 easy concept.

01:00:06.000 But then step two,

01:00:07.060 rephrase the idea,

01:00:08.260 identifying the least

01:00:09.460 sympathetic beneficiary.

01:00:11.660 In this case, people

01:00:12.760 turn to rich CEOs.

01:00:17.640 So now it's, we want to

01:00:19.620 lower taxes so that rich

01:00:21.220 CEOs can keep more of

01:00:23.200 their money and spend it

01:00:24.040 as they choose.

01:00:24.740 See how easy this is?

01:00:25.640 Step three, rephrase the

01:00:28.860 idea, bearing in mind

01:00:29.880 that the public cannot

01:00:30.760 make subtle distinctions

01:00:32.300 and need to be redirected

01:00:34.080 to sympathize with

01:00:35.040 authorities they trust.

01:00:36.680 So, spend it as they

01:00:39.580 choose can be rephrased

01:00:42.420 to government cannot help

01:00:45.360 as many people.

01:00:48.100 See how you're reversing

01:00:49.300 this?

01:00:51.640 Rephrase your idea to

01:00:52.740 eliminate all elements that

01:00:54.320 could indicate that the

01:00:55.460 idea is fair.

01:00:56.840 In the example, keep more

01:00:58.460 of their money, well that

01:01:00.020 sounds like that could be a

01:01:01.020 justifiable thing.

01:01:01.920 We need to change that to

01:01:02.820 hoard more money.

01:01:06.680 Easy peasy.

01:01:08.260 Step five, rephrase any

01:01:10.220 element that suggests

01:01:11.440 removing an unpopular

01:01:12.720 concept.

01:01:13.700 For here, in this

01:01:14.520 particular example, the

01:01:15.500 concept that's unpopular,

01:01:16.820 taxes.

01:01:18.140 So we change taxes to

01:01:21.360 public assistance.

01:01:24.220 Makes it sound a lot

01:01:25.300 better.

01:01:27.400 Next up, rephrase the idea

01:01:29.020 to eliminate any

01:01:29.980 possibility of benefit.

01:01:32.560 So instead of saying lower

01:01:34.260 public assistance, we say

01:01:35.820 eliminate.

01:01:36.680 public assistance.

01:01:38.720 Instead of saying government

01:01:40.240 cannot help as many people,

01:01:42.000 we say government cannot

01:01:43.180 help anyone.

01:01:47.140 Step seven, convert

01:01:48.480 technical phrases into

01:01:49.820 simple emotional ideas

01:01:51.680 that the public can

01:01:53.200 understand.

01:01:54.380 So eliminate public

01:01:56.280 assistance.

01:01:57.300 That's way too technical.

01:01:58.800 We need something emotional

01:01:59.820 like take food from

01:02:01.980 children.

01:02:02.440 step eight, rephrase your

01:02:07.220 new statement, but add

01:02:08.560 protected groups that will

01:02:09.860 then feel specifically

01:02:11.300 targeted.

01:02:12.400 It's always a good move.

01:02:13.840 So children become

01:02:15.500 LGBT children, right?

01:02:19.420 You got to get specific.

01:02:20.760 Anyone becomes

01:02:23.020 disaffected minorities.

01:02:26.220 disaffected is always a key

01:02:28.820 word.

01:02:29.000 Anytime you can throw the

01:02:30.060 word disaffected into a

01:02:31.900 sentence when you're in the

01:02:32.680 media, it always works out.

01:02:35.240 So rephrase your idea a final

01:02:37.500 time.

01:02:39.240 This is step nine.

01:02:40.600 Use visceral adjectives.

01:02:43.060 The addition of more

01:02:44.440 sympathetic groups to maximize

01:02:46.000 anger and discuss.

01:02:47.240 And then please, of course,

01:02:49.860 use an emotionally gripping

01:02:51.920 voice tone.

01:02:52.740 That's always important.

01:02:54.780 Lots of emotional pauses.

01:02:56.880 So that, you run that

01:02:59.200 through the process, and

01:03:00.880 this is how you change it.

01:03:02.420 We started with, we want to

01:03:05.680 lower taxes so that people

01:03:07.060 can keep more of their money

01:03:08.760 and spend it as they choose.

01:03:11.220 A quick nine-step process, and

01:03:13.420 you have our final product for

01:03:15.000 the media to present the

01:03:16.300 conservative idea.

01:03:18.840 Ultra-far-right conservatives

01:03:20.460 and fascist hardliners want to

01:03:22.240 rip food from the tiny hands

01:03:24.980 of suffering, handicapable

01:03:26.640 LGBTQI children so that

01:03:29.540 billionaire CEOs can steal

01:03:32.100 more money, leaving those who

01:03:34.100 care without the ability to

01:03:36.480 help disaffected minorities

01:03:38.460 such as pseudo-Asians without

01:03:40.480 torsos, bearded Antarctican

01:03:42.680 ice dwellers, and one former

01:03:45.340 Mongolian vagrant, who now

01:03:48.140 identifies as a cancerous

01:03:51.420 duck-billed platypus.

01:03:57.280 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:04:00.500 Poor platypus person.

01:04:02.200 Glenn Beck, the extraordinary and

01:04:13.080 astounding hypocrisy of it, to see

01:04:16.240 the constancy of the assertion of

01:04:18.360 Christian virtue by political

01:04:20.760 leaders in this country who have

01:04:22.700 established internment camps for

01:04:25.540 babies and toddlers.

01:04:27.300 And by the way, and I never in a

01:04:29.780 million years thought I would sit

01:04:31.460 here or anywhere and say this, but

01:04:34.640 the difference now between

01:04:35.840 Venezuela and Cuba and the United

01:04:38.600 States is this.

01:04:40.260 Venezuela and Cuba are the

01:04:41.860 countries without internment camps

01:04:44.020 for babies and toddlers.

01:04:45.580 We are swimming in stupid this hour,

01:04:50.800 aren't we?

01:04:52.080 Look, is that the difference between

01:04:57.080 the United States, Venezuela, and

01:05:00.240 Cuba?

01:05:01.660 Cuba famously has no economy.

01:05:04.540 The Kardashians went over there and

01:05:05.960 visited when it first opened up for

01:05:07.940 American travel.

01:05:09.900 And it's one of the greatest things

01:05:11.940 I've ever seen.

01:05:12.500 Because they just kept looking around

01:05:14.960 and going, wow, it's so quaint.

01:05:16.580 I like how they decided to keep the

01:05:18.320 50s vehicles here.

01:05:20.060 That wasn't a choice, Kim.

01:05:21.960 Or Khloe.

01:05:23.320 Or Kourtney.

01:05:25.300 Or Reginald.

01:05:26.620 I don't know if Reginald is still a

01:05:27.680 Kardashian.

01:05:28.680 Or ever was.

01:05:31.940 Orenthal.

01:05:33.320 I don't understand how people kind of

01:05:36.340 miss the past, you know, 100 years or

01:05:38.300 so, but they kind of did.

01:05:40.240 Venezuela currently has like, it's a

01:05:42.480 million,

01:05:44.240 tens of thousands of percent of

01:05:47.180 inflation.

01:05:48.920 Isn't it one million bolivars now for a

01:05:51.500 cup of coffee?

01:05:52.520 It just crossed that threshold.

01:05:55.700 It's a complete disaster in so many

01:05:57.880 ways.

01:05:58.480 It's almost impossible to do

01:06:00.600 something that's actually what we

01:06:03.740 take for granted every day.

01:06:04.960 I mean, you move around and go

01:06:05.940 wherever you want.

01:06:06.520 I mean, this guy is, think about

01:06:07.640 this.

01:06:08.260 This guy's on television.

01:06:09.160 This is Steve Schmidt, by the way,

01:06:11.140 who's a former Republican

01:06:13.100 strategist.

01:06:13.800 Just left the party.

01:06:15.400 A very anti-Trump guy.

01:06:17.140 And look, I mean, Trump deserves

01:06:18.840 criticism at times.

01:06:20.740 You've certainly heard it on this

01:06:21.820 program.

01:06:22.220 I know this audience probably gets

01:06:23.340 sick of it at times.

01:06:24.620 Occasionally, he deserves some

01:06:25.580 criticism.

01:06:26.340 We are not to be subservient to the

01:06:28.220 president.

01:06:29.400 And that's not the show that we have

01:06:30.900 here.

01:06:31.540 However, there is a level of

01:06:34.060 insanity that somehow Trump is able

01:06:36.660 to trigger people to.

01:06:39.120 And it seems to have happened here

01:06:40.640 with Steve Schmidt.

01:06:41.220 You want another one here?

01:06:42.160 Here he is also talking about the

01:06:43.520 travel ban.

01:06:44.420 Listen.

01:06:52.140 Or maybe not.

01:06:53.660 We got an MSNBC travel ban.

01:06:55.720 This is a...

01:06:56.960 I'll give you the lowdown.

01:06:58.560 Apparently, we're having some

01:06:59.340 technical issue.

01:07:01.020 He tells Nicole Wallace that the

01:07:02.420 Supreme Court's approval of Trump's

01:07:03.860 travel ban is a, quote,

01:07:05.500 fantastic fulfillment of Osama

01:07:08.960 bin Laden's vision.

01:07:12.340 You have it now?

01:07:13.480 All right, let's try it.

01:07:14.640 Today was a fantastic fulfillment of

01:07:18.560 Osama bin Laden's vision by Donald

01:07:21.300 J. Trump.

01:07:22.120 What Osama bin Laden hoped to provoke

01:07:24.680 was a war of civilization.

01:07:27.040 A war between the West and one

01:07:29.900 billion Muslims.

01:07:31.340 And so what Donald Trump and this

01:07:33.040 Muslim ban signal to the world is

01:07:35.700 that Muslims are not welcome here.

01:07:38.520 That this is whether the

01:07:40.400 conservative justices say that, in

01:07:42.320 fact, this is about executive power.

01:07:44.520 The president's clear intent was to

01:07:46.280 impose a religious test.

01:07:48.080 And that is as fundamentally

01:07:49.880 un-American as anything that he's

01:07:52.820 done over the course of this

01:07:54.580 presidency.

01:07:55.120 He says, I mean, we just, you know,

01:07:57.460 there's certain things that can be

01:07:59.480 criticized here.

01:08:00.260 But, I mean, saying that we're Osama

01:08:01.620 bin Laden slash Cuba slash Venezuela,

01:08:04.140 it's not really one of them.

01:08:06.440 I mean, you got to stand out, I guess,

01:08:07.580 in that career.

01:08:07.980 You're going on MSNBC, right?

01:08:09.680 So you're not exactly expecting

01:08:11.000 pushback, which, by the way, it did

01:08:12.520 not seem like he received any.

01:08:15.680 But there's got to be a moment where

01:08:17.040 you're thinking, I guess you just go

01:08:18.760 into the green room and you're

01:08:20.060 thinking, what's the most outlandish

01:08:22.040 thing I can say here?

01:08:24.020 I mean, that's probably the test of

01:08:25.500 whether you get rebooked on MSNBC at

01:08:27.580 this point.

01:08:28.700 By the way, our enlightened European

01:08:30.840 friends found this to be interesting.

01:08:33.320 2015, there were 900,000 migrants

01:08:36.980 that went into Europe.

01:08:39.100 900,000.

01:08:43.100 This year, 54,000.

01:08:46.300 A drop of 94%.

01:08:48.760 Now, part of that is, of course,

01:08:51.860 the Civil War in Syria and

01:08:53.940 conditions changing.

01:08:56.920 But there's been a massive pushback

01:08:58.840 politically for people who supported

01:09:00.980 those policies that allowed 900,000

01:09:02.980 migrants to come in.

01:09:04.720 We all know, you know, I'm a huge fan

01:09:07.060 of legal immigration.

01:09:07.980 I've said it many times.

01:09:08.880 It's like we, you know, it's how,

01:09:10.240 it's like you can get an all-star

01:09:11.400 team.

01:09:11.980 People who actually have the balls to

01:09:13.740 cross oceans come here.

01:09:15.980 If they come here legally, they make

01:09:17.860 us so much better.

01:09:19.660 They push us.

01:09:20.800 They challenge us.

01:09:21.880 These are people who want it.

01:09:24.220 They're people who are starving for

01:09:26.520 freedom.

01:09:27.120 And they come here and they work

01:09:28.340 their asses off.

01:09:29.540 They cross oceans.

01:09:30.960 They do things that are really

01:09:32.000 difficult.

01:09:33.500 If they come here legally, they make

01:09:36.300 us much better.

01:09:38.260 On the other side of that, when they

01:09:40.340 come here illegally and their first

01:09:42.260 step on our soil is a crime, it's a

01:09:45.140 totally different situation.

01:09:46.680 And it's one that needs to be dealt

01:09:47.800 with.

01:09:48.700 Glenn's on vacation.

01:09:49.440 It's Stu here on the Glenn Beck

01:09:50.800 program.

01:09:51.320 Back in a minute.

01:09:54.680 Glenn Beck.

01:09:56.200 So your kid's going to die in a pool.

01:09:59.100 By the way, it's Stu in for Glenn on

01:10:00.620 the Glenn Beck program.

01:10:01.480 Your kid probably going to die in a

01:10:04.040 pool.

01:10:04.360 And that's how you feel, I think,

01:10:06.960 if you read Parents Magazine.

01:10:10.760 Their latest report says the CDC has

01:10:13.700 come to some alarming conclusions

01:10:16.020 about swimming-related disease

01:10:17.840 outbreaks.

01:10:19.480 Here's what parents need to know going

01:10:21.440 into pool season.

01:10:22.760 Now, right now, you're thinking to

01:10:23.920 yourself, I mean, I love taking my

01:10:25.440 kids to the pool, but is there

01:10:26.400 something that I need to know?

01:10:27.920 Will the film be at 11?

01:10:31.240 Magazine reports that from 2000 to

01:10:33.160 2014, swimming-related outbreaks of

01:10:35.880 disease have resulted in 27,219

01:10:40.000 illnesses and eight deaths.

01:10:44.760 Now, I know there's at least, we

01:10:46.640 actually do really, really well, at

01:10:48.540 least when I fill in, when it comes to

01:10:51.040 ratings with mathematicians.

01:10:53.120 Almost every mathematician and

01:10:54.900 scientist listens to this program.

01:10:56.800 Glenn has a 100-part series on

01:10:59.640 physics coming up and chemistry, but

01:11:02.620 we're going to stick with the

01:11:04.080 mathematicians today.

01:11:04.980 If you happen to be one of those

01:11:06.500 mathematicians noticing, you might

01:11:07.880 notice that eight deaths in 14

01:11:10.140 years seems like less than one death

01:11:13.320 per year.

01:11:15.360 And we have kind of a large country.

01:11:20.060 So maybe one death per year isn't all

01:11:22.700 that scary.

01:11:26.100 27,219 illnesses sounds bad, but over

01:11:29.340 the course of 14 years, we're talking

01:11:31.060 about 2,000 illnesses a year, which

01:11:34.480 again, isn't exciting.

01:11:36.140 What's that, five or six a day in a

01:11:38.320 country of 325 million people?

01:11:41.360 The ratio there, by the way, one

01:11:43.200 illness per 162,500 people.

01:11:49.680 In all honesty, if that's scaring you,

01:11:53.340 what doesn't scare you?

01:11:55.760 Your odds of getting killed in thousands

01:12:01.280 of other ways are much higher.

01:12:05.260 Now, the CDC makes a couple of

01:12:06.880 recommendations that aren't crazy, but

01:12:08.880 are pretty obvious.

01:12:10.640 Starting with, if your kid is having a

01:12:13.040 problem with his digestive tract at the

01:12:20.200 time, maybe don't let him go in the pool.

01:12:22.380 Number one, I think we can all understand

01:12:23.960 that. Don't let your kids swallow the

01:12:25.980 water. Good tip.

01:12:30.300 Make sure your kids don't go to the

01:12:31.960 bathroom in the water.

01:12:34.820 There are a lot of people advising their

01:12:36.340 kids to do the opposite. If there are,

01:12:38.120 I've never met one of them.

01:12:40.400 But I love this.

01:12:43.100 Before getting into the water, use a test

01:12:46.040 strip from your local retailer or pool

01:12:48.740 supply store to check if the water's pH

01:12:51.620 and bromine or a free chlorine level

01:12:54.500 are correct.

01:12:57.020 Now, who the hell is doing that?

01:12:59.380 Are there parents out there that are

01:13:00.600 going to their local pool with test

01:13:02.320 strips?

01:13:04.380 Is that actually a thing?

01:13:06.380 Is that actually happening in the United

01:13:07.940 States of America right now?

01:13:10.620 I mean, that is, that's incredible.

01:13:13.620 And it's amazing because I have this

01:13:16.960 really weird relationship with information

01:13:19.840 like this. I have a logical side of my

01:13:23.400 brain that tells me numbers, that walks

01:13:28.820 me through how ridiculous a fear of

01:13:32.720 waterborne illness in a pool actually is.

01:13:36.500 The chances of you getting anything are

01:13:38.220 almost nothing. Even if you do, it's very

01:13:40.380 minor in almost every circumstance.

01:13:43.020 You're much, much, much more likely to

01:13:46.140 drown in the pool than you are to die from

01:13:50.200 some illness that you could have caught

01:13:51.760 with a test strip.

01:13:55.700 Yet there's a part of me, there's a part

01:13:59.480 of me

01:13:59.940 that is the irrational parent that freaks

01:14:06.720 out about every one of these reports.

01:14:08.680 There's a part of me.

01:14:09.760 I know it's not logical.

01:14:13.420 I know it makes absolutely no sense.

01:14:18.320 I know the numbers are there.

01:14:22.900 Yet I'm still a tad emotional about it.

01:14:27.180 Am I the only person who's like this?

01:14:29.120 I had my kid, we brought my kids to the

01:14:32.100 water park last week.

01:14:33.960 And I brought them there, my two kids by

01:14:37.180 myself.

01:14:38.720 My wife was working.

01:14:40.740 And we're sitting there at the water

01:14:42.060 park and they're going down this one

01:14:44.180 slide over and over and over again.

01:14:46.360 And I do not remember having the energy

01:14:49.600 that they have.

01:14:50.680 I mean, down the slide, sprint across the

01:14:53.640 pool.

01:14:54.300 Because, you know, it's one of those pools

01:14:55.560 that has like an inch of water in it.

01:14:57.080 You sprint across the pool.

01:14:59.080 Sprint up multiple, multiple flights of

01:15:02.880 stairs.

01:15:03.400 I can't get up multiple stairs.

01:15:06.920 Multiple flights of stairs.

01:15:08.100 All the way to the top.

01:15:10.660 Dive into the slide again.

01:15:11.940 All the way down.

01:15:12.920 Get out.

01:15:13.540 Sprint across the pool.

01:15:14.720 Sprint up multiple flights of stairs.

01:15:16.460 Dive in.

01:15:17.180 Again and again and again.

01:15:18.620 Hours of this.

01:15:20.460 I cannot remember ever being like that.

01:15:25.180 I just remember a lot of sleeping.

01:15:29.160 So my kids are doing this over and over

01:15:30.760 and over again.

01:15:31.280 And I can see them.

01:15:32.020 I know where they are.

01:15:33.400 I know this is a publicly designed water

01:15:36.780 park.

01:15:37.680 Specifically made.

01:15:38.900 So that they don't have lots of

01:15:40.240 drownings and people don't want to

01:15:41.360 come.

01:15:42.640 This isn't 1980s action park we're

01:15:45.420 talking about.

01:15:46.120 We're talking about a modern facility.

01:15:48.360 With slides, pools, very small amounts

01:15:50.860 of water at the end.

01:15:52.220 They're all nicely designed.

01:15:54.180 So everything goes smoothly.

01:15:55.980 And yet there I am.

01:15:57.060 The second I can't see them, you get that feeling.

01:16:03.740 That completely irrational feeling that because your eyes

01:16:08.400 aren't on them, they are dead.

01:16:11.700 Or someone's abducted them.

01:16:14.320 Or something terrible has happened.

01:16:16.060 A flash flood has gone over the lazy river.

01:16:18.400 And the child has swept away in the inner tube into oncoming traffic.

01:16:21.940 Something is happening because I haven't seen them for eight seconds.

01:16:26.380 And I know it's irrational.

01:16:32.440 I realize as a parent that that makes absolutely no sense.

01:16:37.380 And yet every single time you're sitting there, you see them going down the

01:16:42.720 slide, everything's fine.

01:16:44.040 They decide to go down a different slide.

01:16:45.540 You lose sight of them for 15 seconds.

01:16:49.300 And in that 15 seconds, you think, number one, clearly a small meteoroid has

01:16:56.840 come in and it's landed in the pool and flash boiled the pool and they're gone.

01:17:02.200 I'm never going to see them again.

01:17:03.380 That's, of course, number one.

01:17:04.420 But number two, you also think I am the worst parent of all time.

01:17:10.180 I am the worst parent in history.

01:17:14.580 Something terrible is probably happening to my children in the last eight seconds.

01:17:19.580 And what am I doing?

01:17:20.780 I'm sitting here looking like Chris Christie on the beach.

01:17:25.160 Which is not a positive visual.

01:17:27.200 And we all know that in the eight seconds, we don't logically in the eight seconds that

01:17:34.900 you haven't been looking at your kids, that a freak tornado has not come down and pulled

01:17:39.240 your kid off the water slide and landed them in California to be raised by democratic socialists.

01:17:44.820 We understand that's not reality.

01:17:48.400 But you can't help but feel that way.

01:17:52.460 There's a woman, Lenora Skenazy.

01:17:54.640 She runs an organization called Let Grow.

01:17:58.560 And they call it free-range parenting.

01:18:01.260 And free-range parenting is just a nice, fancy, organic-sounding word for, like, the way we used to raise our kids.

01:18:07.100 Because, as I would, as I know, as a child, I walked around the neighborhood all the time.

01:18:14.280 Went to go see my friend's house.

01:18:15.800 We'd walk to their house with no parental supervision.

01:18:18.580 You'd disappear for the entire day.

01:18:20.620 Your mom or your dad would know where you were.

01:18:23.860 But it wasn't a constant monitoring process.

01:18:27.140 It wasn't one of these things where, basically, it's like Enemy of the State with Will Smith,

01:18:33.000 where every one of your movements is tracked.

01:18:35.320 We didn't, I didn't need a tracking device on me when I was going out.

01:18:40.280 And I didn't get into too much trouble.

01:18:42.280 I was a wonderful child.

01:18:45.840 But, like, I can't, the only time I, I, you see your kid go into the water slide, you see them come down,

01:18:50.960 and then you think to yourself, oh my gosh, they've been in the water slide.

01:18:53.640 I've only applied sunscreen 64 times today.

01:18:56.900 I better get them for number 65.

01:19:00.080 Probably the most unsafe thing that happens to them in that day is me spraying suntan lotion,

01:19:04.500 suntan lotion into their face over and over again.

01:19:07.020 Like, they're being, they could suffocate.

01:19:12.460 As soon as they get out of my sight, I start thinking,

01:19:14.540 have I hit them with so much sunscreen that they're so well lubricated

01:19:18.240 that they're going to slip through a hole in the drain?

01:19:20.080 I know I'm not the only parent that feels that way.

01:19:27.040 And I know it's such a weird separation.

01:19:30.040 Logically, I know it.

01:19:31.600 Lenore Skenazy will go through all the numbers for you.

01:19:34.540 And she will absolutely, I've started to use her, her name as like a verb.

01:19:39.880 You know, you just kind of think of like, I got a Lenore Skenazy here.

01:19:42.020 I got to do it.

01:19:42.840 Because if I can Lenore Skenazy, your heartbeat comes down, you become sane again.

01:19:52.800 And we all know that it's much, much safer.

01:19:57.000 We've talked about this before with gun violence.

01:19:59.120 You see an awful school shooting happen.

01:20:02.060 And you look at that and you're like, oh my God, I thought, I think this myself.

01:20:07.660 I'm a huge Second Amendment supporter.

01:20:10.080 I'm a gun owner.

01:20:11.200 I believe that the current laws we have are unconstitutional.

01:20:16.180 In the way of gun, there's no way we can limit guns as much as we have.

01:20:20.440 I'm actually at the point, they did a poll recently, I think it was 11% of people think

01:20:23.700 there's too much restriction on guns in this country.

01:20:27.220 I'm of that variety.

01:20:28.820 There's 400 million guns here.

01:20:30.840 And I'm complaining that it's too restricted.

01:20:34.000 That's me.

01:20:35.880 However, you think to yourself, gosh, I hope nothing ever happens like that.

01:20:38.580 That's so terrible.

01:20:39.600 And you fear for your kids going to school.

01:20:43.360 And then I look at the numbers and I know, I realize, when I went to high school, I was

01:20:50.000 four times as likely to be shot in a school shooting.

01:20:55.500 Four times as likely when I was in high school.

01:20:59.800 Have you looked back and looked at when you were in high school and what the violence numbers

01:21:04.120 looked like back then?

01:21:05.000 Have you stopped and done that?

01:21:07.100 Because I had looked at the numbers.

01:21:08.920 I knew that violence had come down.

01:21:12.420 It was hard for me to process initially the school shooting thing because it seems like

01:21:15.980 such a recent phenomenon, but it's not.

01:21:17.700 It's not a recent phenomenon.

01:21:19.560 The violence of the old days used to happen in smaller spurts and smaller amounts.

01:21:25.240 It might not have been these mass sort of attention grabbing shootings.

01:21:28.100 But there were many more minor shootings.

01:21:31.520 And I got news for you.

01:21:32.300 If you've got a kid who went to school and only one person was shot, you don't feel any

01:21:35.340 better.

01:21:38.400 And so when you go back and you say the death rates in school shootings, it was four times

01:21:44.100 higher when I was in school.

01:21:45.700 I should have been four times more scared for myself than I am for my children, but that's

01:21:52.380 not the way it is.

01:21:53.960 Logic completely separates when it comes to your children, which is why, you know, you

01:22:00.080 have to try to do everything you can to implement it.

01:22:03.640 Every moment you can to look at a boring chart, you should do it.

01:22:08.260 Take your moments to actually realize, because I don't know if you can get yourself to the

01:22:13.940 point where you're thinking logically, you can get to the point where you take the emotional

01:22:19.360 fear out of these situations, at least until your kid walks to the other side of the water

01:22:24.660 slide and is scooped up from the kiddie pool and carried off by a giant genetically enhanced

01:22:31.020 pelican.

01:22:31.460 When that happens, you're going to wish you were a little more emotional.

01:22:39.920 You're going to wish the fear kind of kicked in.

01:22:43.920 But I will say this, sometimes I'm very lazy and from what I've understood, pelicans are not

01:22:50.180 lazy parents.

01:22:51.760 So my kids will have that going on for them.

01:22:54.820 That's kind of positive.

01:22:55.820 So just remember, when you go to the school or you go to a pool at any other location

01:23:07.340 and you dip your kid in, make sure you bring your test strip because the only way they're

01:23:15.820 going to survive is if you protect them.

01:23:18.160 There's a story in here about how, from Boston Magazine, welcome to the age of over-parenting.

01:23:25.820 And there had a, a guy has kids over to their house, 11-year-old daughter and some of their

01:23:34.320 friends.

01:23:34.660 Before the night, the parents of the younger kids began scouring his lawn for nails and

01:23:39.720 shards of glass.

01:23:41.660 I mean, can you imagine living in a world where you fear your child's next step will be onto

01:23:47.700 a shard of glass?

01:23:49.000 By the way, if my wife is listening, make sure you check our backyard for nails and shards

01:23:55.060 of glass, please.

01:23:56.060 I'm very nervous about it now.

01:24:00.340 Welcome to the program.

01:24:01.460 888-727-BECK is the phone number.

01:24:04.760 I like this tweet.

01:24:05.720 I love it when Stu hosts, no one else can be so entertaining and so pessimistically inspiring

01:24:10.320 at the same time.

01:24:11.820 I think that's a compliment.

01:24:13.400 Well, pessimistically inspiring, I need, I need shirts made with that phrase on it.

01:24:19.140 That's me.

01:24:20.520 Pessimistically inspiring.

01:24:22.540 Glenn will be back.

01:24:23.860 He's got a week off here, here for the summer.

01:24:26.200 So next week we have some great shows, or at least shows that I expect to be mediocre.

01:24:31.720 Myself on Monday, Pat and me, Pat and Stu do a little reunion tour on Tuesday and Thursday,

01:24:36.640 plus Pat's going to be doing the show Friday.

01:24:39.240 In fact, we're going to have Pat and Jeffy coming up here in just a couple minutes, which

01:24:43.000 I'm very excited about that.

01:24:44.260 At least the Pat part.

01:24:46.800 But let me talk for a second about one of my pet topics.

01:24:52.340 And you know what?

01:24:53.080 Glenn's not here, so I get to do this.

01:24:55.240 LeBron James.

01:24:57.220 LeBron James has just opted out of his $35.6 million option to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

01:25:04.300 Now, if you follow basketball at all, you know this is not really news in that he opts

01:25:12.760 out every year.

01:25:14.440 That's what he does.

01:25:16.620 But can we step back a little bit here with LeBron James?

01:25:19.060 Because this drives me crazy.

01:25:21.220 He has the best record in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers years and years ago.

01:25:27.440 And he loses.

01:25:28.720 So then he runs to Miami to join up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh for the first super team.

01:25:33.180 Remember this?

01:25:34.880 You know, he gets beat up for it pretty hard.

01:25:37.220 And you're going to join a super team.

01:25:39.520 And you're leaving your hometown behind.

01:25:43.080 But that's what LeBron James does there, right?

01:25:45.380 He leaves a team that, by the way, again, had the best record in the NBA that year.

01:25:51.380 And he abandons them and goes to Miami to try to win championships in Miami, which he does.

01:25:57.060 It's a very good team.

01:25:58.280 And then the narrative goes, he wins the championship with Miami, and he decides he wants to go back

01:26:03.780 to his hometown of Cleveland and win them their championship.

01:26:10.520 I'm not saying there's no truth to that narrative at all.

01:26:14.360 I think he really does love Cleveland at some level.

01:26:18.300 Doesn't always act like it, but at some level he does.

01:26:21.960 Akron, big fan.

01:26:23.140 But let's be honest about what he did there.

01:26:27.140 It's the same thing he did when he left Cleveland, which was leave a team for a better team.

01:26:35.360 He left an aging Dwayne Wade and a broken down Chris Bosh to go play with Kyrie Irving and the number one overall pick in the draft.

01:26:44.300 Which then he pushed management to trade for Kevin Love, even though Kevin Love only had one year left on his contract.

01:26:52.140 They could have waited a year and had both of them.

01:26:55.420 Instead, he forces that trade, gets all the players again around him that he wants, and once again, here we are.

01:27:02.360 A few years later, but he doesn't commit to a long-term contract with him.

01:27:05.900 No, no.

01:27:06.880 He opts out of the contract every year to make every last cent he can.

01:27:11.540 Now, I have no problem with a guy making as much money as possible.

01:27:16.880 In fact, I encourage it.

01:27:17.840 I love capitalism.

01:27:19.660 And LeBron James is absolutely good enough at playing the sport he loves to milk Cleveland for every last cent.

01:27:28.680 He can opt out of that contract every year and get every last cent.

01:27:33.640 And he can do that because he's freaking LeBron James.

01:27:37.380 But let's not act like he's charitable here.

01:27:41.540 And now that the team that was around him has broken down a little bit, and he got absolutely slaughtered in the finals this year, rumor is he's going to leave again.

01:27:53.400 Maybe he'll stay.

01:27:54.560 It's possible.

01:27:55.880 But again, look at all the people that have cycled through there.

01:27:59.160 Over and over again, we find out the same story.

01:28:01.640 Kyrie Irving couldn't just quite play with him.

01:28:03.860 Kevin Love, one of the best players in the league, comes to play with him and just kind of forgets how to play basketball.

01:28:10.340 And we see this over and over and over again with LeBron James.

01:28:14.860 I'm not saying that he has no right to do this.

01:28:17.000 He has all the right in the world to do it.

01:28:19.400 And he's a top 10 player of all time.

01:28:21.780 Don't even get me started with the top of that list.

01:28:24.220 But he's a top 10 player of all time.

01:28:25.560 He's a great player.

01:28:26.380 And wherever he goes, he'll be great.

01:28:27.860 But let's not put him in, let's not, you know, they're not giving him sainthood yet.

01:28:36.660 Cleveland will always love him because he brought them the championship.

01:28:39.580 And they're great people and they'll always love him.

01:28:41.940 But let's not go overboard here.

01:28:44.380 Back with more in a second.

01:28:48.920 Welcome back to the program.

01:28:50.220 It's Stu in for Glenn Beck.

01:28:52.180 And I'm joined by the fabulous Pat Gray and the Jeff Fisher.

01:28:57.100 Welcome to the program.

01:28:58.460 Thank you.

01:28:59.240 Thank you.

01:28:59.620 Happy to be here.

01:29:00.260 So glad you're here, Pat.

01:29:00.960 I just could have, wait.

01:29:02.920 But I'm here too.

01:29:04.260 You are.

01:29:04.980 I'm very excited to see you.

01:29:06.200 This is great.

01:29:06.800 In fact, next week we're going to be on as well.

01:29:09.000 Pat and I are going to be doing Tuesday and Thursday next week.

01:29:11.960 I'm on Monday.

01:29:13.080 Pat's on Friday.

01:29:14.180 And then Jeffy gets to come in at 3 a.m.

01:29:18.020 On 4th of July.

01:29:20.180 He's doing the overnight 4th of July holiday Glenn Beck show.

01:29:25.100 We should be clear, not on the air.

01:29:27.100 No.

01:29:28.020 But he'll be airing something else.

01:29:29.180 No one told me that.

01:29:29.980 But he will be in the studio.

01:29:30.160 They said I get to be in front of the mic and everything.

01:29:32.200 You do get to be in front of the mic.

01:29:33.900 It's just not on.

01:29:34.840 Just not on.

01:29:36.920 I'm very interested because we were talking a little bit of the Radio Hall of Fame.

01:29:39.480 Maybe we can talk about that a little bit here in a minute.

01:29:41.120 But, I mean, the obvious nominee for the Radio Hall of Fame, to me, I mean, we're here on

01:29:46.420 the Glenn Beck program, we should probably acknowledge it, is Alex Jones.

01:29:49.820 Oh, you got that right.

01:29:50.720 Thank you.

01:29:51.040 How is Alex Jones not in the Radio Hall of Fame yet?

01:29:53.360 It's a Travis Sham mockery.

01:29:54.780 Yes.

01:29:54.960 It is a Travis Sham mockery.

01:29:56.360 That's exactly what you'd call it.

01:29:57.920 It's all political.

01:29:58.420 But he's not in there.

01:29:59.660 Yes.

01:30:00.140 That's exactly right.

01:30:01.120 It's all politics, man.

01:30:02.740 It's all politics, man.

01:30:03.860 That's what it is.

01:30:04.780 It's the Globulus keeping me out.

01:30:08.480 So, Alex.

01:30:09.940 He could be in the Slur Your S's Hall of Fame, though.

01:30:12.340 He definitely leads that.

01:30:14.140 Show.

01:30:15.700 Show?

01:30:16.620 What?

01:30:17.060 You're talking about a show?

01:30:18.620 No, I'm saying the word show.

01:30:20.780 You just don't want him to say the word hit.

01:30:22.840 You mean, he said the word sit.

01:30:25.340 Sit.

01:30:25.680 The sit is the one you don't want to sit.

01:30:26.840 Like five times and it's like, you can't say that on the radio, man.

01:30:30.160 Not when you're slurring your asses.

01:30:31.500 Bend down and put your rear on a seat.

01:30:34.900 Because it would be a sheet.

01:30:35.960 Right.

01:30:36.160 It wouldn't make any sense to anyone.

01:30:37.260 None.

01:30:38.300 So, Alex Jones was talking about the Red Hen restaurant.

01:30:43.320 This is the restaurant where Sarah Huckabee Sanders went and was told to leave by the owner.

01:30:51.500 And then they actually, the people who worked there, went across the street and protested

01:30:55.340 her party at another restaurant, even though she wasn't sitting there anymore.

01:30:59.440 Like, even being friends with Sarah Huckabee Sanders was too much to be allowed to eat,

01:31:03.920 apparently.

01:31:05.200 But Alex Jones had an important theory.

01:31:08.700 And I think, I mean, he really called it out as to what was going to happen at the Red Hen.

01:31:13.700 As he always does.

01:31:14.300 As he always does, right?

01:31:15.280 Yeah.

01:31:15.660 Here is Alex Jones about what's about to happen at this restaurant.

01:31:18.840 This Red Hen thing.

01:31:20.180 Yeah.

01:31:20.640 They put out the personal info of Sanders and threw him out of the deal and then said,

01:31:23.760 oh, you use your official Twitter to talk about us.

01:31:25.700 That's blah, blah, blah.

01:31:26.240 That's not the law.

01:31:27.020 It's all made up.

01:31:28.580 Notice they're the victims now.

01:31:30.320 What?

01:31:30.940 Like night follows day.

01:31:32.040 You know, like in the show, House of Cards, where he throws a brick through his own window.

01:31:36.140 I mean, everybody knows, you know, wag the dog, all that.

01:31:38.520 In movies, everybody knows, oh, people stage stuff.

01:31:41.340 And in reality, the left's always getting caught putting swastikas on their houses or fake

01:31:45.620 crosses, burnings in their yards, and 99% of the time it's fake.

01:31:48.340 The owner of the Red Hen is going to stage something against their facility.

01:31:54.240 But like night follows day, if somebody's smart, if you want to dedicate something to

01:32:01.520 your country, you need to go sit out in front.

01:32:04.100 I wish I had the money, I'd put PIs, billions of dollars, I would say every day, have teams

01:32:08.420 of PIs all over the country, I'd say, get on this site.

01:32:10.900 And I would just have PIs watch the Red Hen showing somebody firebombs, God forbid, or

01:32:15.900 somebody knocks the windows out, or somebody paints a swastika on the door.

01:32:19.080 We can follow them to their house, and you know who they're going to be, don't you?

01:32:22.400 We know, it'll be something like the Southern Property Law Center, the ADL, Antifa, which

01:32:29.860 is just college professors in masks, the Lone Rangers going out and hitting women in the

01:32:34.360 head with bike locks.

01:32:36.940 But I don't have the personnel to do that or the money, but I'm telling you, the left is

01:32:46.440 going to hit the Red Hen in the next 48 hours, 99% chance.

01:32:52.400 And when they do hit it, we can blow their operation in another devastating victory if

01:32:58.940 somebody just politely goes and sits there and watches it with a camera rolling, you will

01:33:05.060 catch them.

01:33:05.500 Yeah, you gotta have a camera.

01:33:06.420 You can't just sit there.

01:33:08.260 Forget to affiliates, that word was sit.

01:33:10.760 Right, it was sit.

01:33:12.740 The good thing about this is, every time you play it, it is 48 hours from the time you

01:33:19.280 played it.

01:33:19.860 I don't think that's true.

01:33:22.400 Wait, it resets the clock?

01:33:23.860 Yes, yes.

01:33:24.800 Because what I was looking at is, I think it's been more...

01:33:28.000 So, it hasn't been 48 hours yet.

01:33:30.560 He did that, what, Monday?

01:33:32.320 Yeah, because it's been 48 hours, and as far as I know, did we fall in the 1% possibility

01:33:37.320 of someone not firebombing this restaurant?

01:33:40.000 Is that possible?

01:33:41.220 He said it was a 99% chance.

01:33:42.880 We went into the 1% chance where someone did not do what he predicted.

01:33:48.400 I think he too, like...

01:33:49.360 Hard to believe.

01:33:49.800 He tries to say, like, we can stop it.

01:33:52.480 Every time something doesn't happen, it's because he stopped it.

01:33:54.340 It's because he did.

01:33:55.160 Right?

01:33:55.340 He did it.

01:33:55.800 He brought it up.

01:33:56.600 Exactly right.

01:33:57.340 If he says, aliens are going to land next Tuesday, and then they don't, he just says, well,

01:34:01.200 I talked about it, so therefore they didn't land.

01:34:03.220 I shaved us from that.

01:34:04.820 You shaved us?

01:34:06.180 You shaved us from that?

01:34:08.000 By the way, speaking of shaving, what is with the beard?

01:34:10.900 I know.

01:34:11.300 I don't know.

01:34:12.340 It's not that great of a look on Alex.

01:34:14.080 That is a weird look.

01:34:15.220 I mean, we have clearly have not done enough radio together recently because I was not even

01:34:20.420 aware he was growing a beard, and he's got a full beard.

01:34:23.240 No, not until we saw that clip.

01:34:24.800 Yeah.

01:34:25.260 This is very disappointing.

01:34:26.200 I try to keep up on these things.

01:34:28.280 Me too.

01:34:28.920 I guess we have a clip here, though, explains why he's growing a beard.

01:34:32.500 I'm very interested in hearing this one.

01:34:35.000 Here's Alex Jones.

01:34:35.640 I said, until we turn the tide, I'm not going to grow a beard.

01:34:38.800 But yes, ladies and gentlemen, we've now turned the tide.

01:34:41.300 I mean, the war has just started, but we're beginning to win.

01:34:43.860 The globalists are on their heels, so at least for the next month or so, I'm going to

01:34:47.000 go ahead and fulfill that promise and grow a beard.

01:34:49.560 So that's the type of stuff we're talking about.

01:34:51.540 I've also said that...

01:34:52.740 What?

01:34:53.440 If we continue to be reversed on our heels, then I might just shave my head as a symbol

01:34:56.880 of it.

01:34:57.180 But instead, ladies and gentlemen, I am growing a beard for now just to symbolize the fact

01:35:01.760 that liberty is in full bloom and the ghost of Christmas present is here in big time ways.

01:35:09.120 Can we also notice how well his diet supplements are working for him?

01:35:15.040 Look, I got nothing to talk about on this one.

01:35:16.900 Me either, but he's the one shopping this stuff.

01:35:21.200 So you would think he'd be using his own products.

01:35:25.480 Possibly the globalist post office has not been delivering his male vitality for us.

01:35:29.280 I will say, too, I, going into that clip, had absolutely no idea why he was growing a beard.

01:35:35.720 And after watching it, I still have no idea.

01:35:38.080 Turn the tide.

01:35:39.120 Turn the tide.

01:35:39.740 What does that mean?

01:35:40.220 Turn the tide.

01:35:40.640 What do you mean you have no idea?

01:35:41.840 We're winning.

01:35:42.640 We're winning.

01:35:43.100 Winning what?

01:35:43.680 He said he wasn't going to grow a beard until we turned the tide.

01:35:46.180 The globalists are on their heels.

01:35:48.080 They're on their heels.

01:35:49.020 They are?

01:35:50.000 It doesn't seem like it to me.

01:35:52.040 If we might even turn the tide even more, he was going to shave his head.

01:35:55.920 So we have that to look forward to.

01:35:57.800 That's kind of like, don't they have that clock, the doom clock, where they put it like a minute

01:36:03.940 towards the, you know, midnight?

01:36:06.420 Yes.

01:36:06.780 That's kind of like Alex Jones' facial hair situation.

01:36:09.020 Where like, I guess if he's kind of like that, where you know, if things are going well,

01:36:14.200 he's growing more hair.

01:36:15.800 Right.

01:36:16.080 And if things are going badly, you'll see hair removed.

01:36:18.640 It's like a sundial almost.

01:36:20.380 But I think he was meant the other way, right?

01:36:23.000 He said if we turn the tide, he's going to grow a beard.

01:36:25.260 Yeah.

01:36:25.840 Right.

01:36:26.140 So things are good.

01:36:27.140 More hair, more success.

01:36:28.880 Less hair, less success.

01:36:30.440 That's the Alex Jones scale.

01:36:32.500 I'm pretty interested in that.

01:36:34.300 Also, I want to get this, we have a poll.

01:36:36.320 I want to see how you guys will do on this.

01:36:38.460 Because I don't think I would have done very well.

01:36:40.500 Oh boy.

01:36:41.100 Okay.

01:36:41.240 This is, you tell me what percentage of Democrats are in these categories.

01:36:49.540 Okay.

01:36:50.000 Okay.

01:36:50.580 What percentage of Democrats are agnostics or atheists?

01:36:54.720 Ooh.

01:36:55.160 99.

01:36:56.040 99.

01:36:57.460 99.

01:36:59.600 You're giving them a 1%.

01:37:01.260 I am.

01:37:01.800 I can tell you right now, you're low.

01:37:02.580 I'm feeling generous today.

01:37:03.880 You are low on that one.

01:37:05.300 I was 35.

01:37:07.140 35.

01:37:08.460 Okay.

01:37:08.940 Correct number.

01:37:10.220 9.

01:37:11.580 9%?

01:37:12.480 9%.

01:37:13.000 Wow.

01:37:13.900 Now, Jeffy, you were right there on what Republicans said.

01:37:18.040 Republicans guessed 36% on average.

01:37:20.220 Actual number 9%.

01:37:21.380 That's what I feel.

01:37:21.720 Wow.

01:37:22.440 What about LBG?

01:37:25.440 Now, I'm holding back the T there.

01:37:28.140 I hope you guys, and the Q, and the I.

01:37:30.160 It's only LBG.

01:37:30.700 What about the A?

01:37:31.440 Yeah.

01:37:31.740 No way.

01:37:33.020 You're completely ignoring the A's?

01:37:34.460 I'm saying only lesbian, gay, and bisexual.

01:37:37.820 No T.

01:37:38.440 Wow.

01:37:38.740 No I.

01:37:39.680 No A.

01:37:40.540 No Q.

01:37:41.140 Why is this so hateful?

01:37:42.200 Yeah.

01:37:42.420 It's a hateful survey, but I didn't do it.

01:37:44.100 So I feel like I'm just telling you about a hateful survey.

01:37:46.720 I don't know that I want to do that.

01:37:47.820 Are we talking to atheists within that group?

01:37:49.540 No, I'm just saying of Democrats, how many are LBG?

01:37:52.940 Oh, how many are, okay.

01:37:54.800 Lesbian, gay, or bi?

01:37:57.160 And interestingly, by enough, by the way, it's LBG on this poll, not LGB, which is what

01:38:01.880 I would predict.

01:38:02.880 If you're only going to go with three, don't they stay in the same order?

01:38:05.060 Why are you?

01:38:05.560 Yeah, why are you redoing that?

01:38:06.480 I don't know.

01:38:06.500 What's happened?

01:38:07.080 It's the shuffle.

01:38:07.920 So how many Democrats are lesbian, gay, or bisexual?

01:38:10.800 I'm going to say 85%.

01:38:12.220 You're a tad high on some of these.

01:38:15.040 Am I?

01:38:15.420 Yeah.

01:38:16.160 Jeffy, do you have a guess?

01:38:17.180 I mean, it feels like 25%, 20, 25?

01:38:22.500 Yeah.

01:38:22.960 I'm guessing it's probably three.

01:38:25.040 The average Republican said 38.

01:38:27.420 Oh, wow.

01:38:27.860 Okay.

01:38:29.040 Actual number, 6%.

01:38:31.100 Yeah.

01:38:31.820 I would have said three.

01:38:33.680 So the average Republican guessed 32 points high on that one.

01:38:37.400 And last one, union members.

01:38:39.880 Are Democrats?

01:38:40.700 Yeah, what percentage of Democrats are union members?

01:38:42.880 This one is high, I think.

01:38:46.160 Oh, union members.

01:38:47.220 Union members.

01:38:47.860 Might be a different thing.

01:38:48.880 Than supportive of unions.

01:38:50.340 Right.

01:38:50.680 And mostly supportive, right?

01:38:52.340 Policy-wise, they're mostly supportive.

01:38:53.920 But people who claim they're Democrats that are in unions.

01:38:56.300 I think this is a low number because the number is pretty low as a whole.

01:38:59.460 About to get lower after that Supreme Court ruling, too, by the way.

01:39:01.720 18%.

01:39:02.120 Oh, yeah.

01:39:02.580 A lot lower.

01:39:03.240 18% for Pat.

01:39:04.540 In unions.

01:39:05.840 It's got to be like 25%, right?

01:39:07.440 25.

01:39:08.100 I mean, that's where I would have guessed, I think.

01:39:09.940 Real number, 11%.

01:39:11.580 Wow.

01:39:11.960 Only 11% of Democrats are in unions.

01:39:13.520 The average Republican guessed 44.

01:39:16.340 That number will be a lot less.

01:39:17.820 Which is, yeah, which is crazy.

01:39:19.020 Now, they did the same thing where they asked Democrats what they think of Republicans.

01:39:24.540 What percentage of Republicans are 65 and older?

01:39:27.580 Oh, what they said?

01:39:30.920 What do you think?

01:39:31.980 Now, Democrats.

01:39:33.280 Democrats probably said 70%.

01:39:36.260 Right.

01:39:37.140 You think it very high.

01:39:38.260 They guessed 44% of Republicans are 65 and older.

01:39:42.300 Actual number, 21%.

01:39:44.100 Wow.

01:39:44.580 So, they were off by 23 points.

01:39:47.860 This one, though, is, again, we spend a good portion of the day swimming and stupid.

01:39:53.260 Because there's just so many people making so many dumb points right now.

01:39:56.100 I love the crockpot analogy.

01:39:57.180 It does feel.

01:39:58.500 It does feel like that.

01:39:59.200 Like you're in a crockpot simmering and stupid.

01:40:01.560 Yes.

01:40:02.860 They asked Democrats what percentage of Republicans are earning $250,000 a year or more.

01:40:10.420 80%.

01:40:10.900 200,000 or more.

01:40:13.580 250,000.

01:40:14.320 250.

01:40:14.880 Okay.

01:40:15.480 So, they asked Democrats this.

01:40:18.980 And so, I'm guessing what they guessed?

01:40:20.800 Yeah.

01:40:20.940 What do you think Democrats said to that?

01:40:23.460 60%.

01:40:24.300 60%.

01:40:25.020 80.

01:40:25.340 I believe that's what they said.

01:40:26.560 A little bit better than you guys.

01:40:28.060 They said 44%.

01:40:29.880 Okay.

01:40:30.280 That's still pretty high.

01:40:31.220 How important.

01:40:31.960 I mean, the Morgan Stanley, 44% of their employees don't make $250,000 a year.

01:40:37.640 Right?

01:40:37.840 Like, I mean, like the idea that a political party could have this much money.

01:40:41.640 But think about the narrative they get from the media, right?

01:40:45.000 These, you know, Koch brothers, rich, these rich evil bastards.

01:40:49.720 But we get the same thing, though, on the other side when we were, you know, the LGB, how many, what percentage there is.

01:40:55.400 I mean, we get that slammed on us all the time, too.

01:40:57.780 So, it feels like there's so much more.

01:40:59.500 And the media complains that we don't do our jobs and we complain about their coverage.

01:41:04.500 Look at, how else could this coverage be, how could these numbers be so bad?

01:41:08.780 It's because these are the narratives we're fed all the time.

01:41:11.880 And people take, are immersed in it and just believe what they believe.

01:41:15.660 So, 44% of Democrats, or excuse me, Democrats said 44% of Republicans earn $250,000 a year or more.

01:41:23.840 Actual number, two.

01:41:26.540 Wow.

01:41:27.240 They are off by 42 points.

01:41:30.380 Wow.

01:41:31.060 Look, I mean, a very small percentage of Americans make $250,000 a year.

01:41:37.640 I mean, if you're not, you're probably in the top 2%.

01:41:40.100 Yes.

01:41:41.140 And you're probably, it's the same.

01:41:42.200 The top 1%, I think, starts at 400 or 500,000.

01:41:45.480 Or 17,000, something like that.

01:41:48.200 So, that's a lot, you know, that's a lot of money.

01:41:51.620 Although, did you see that in the Bay Area now, $117,000 a year is considered low income.

01:42:00.860 That's how bad it is, the cost of living in the Bay Area now.

01:42:05.500 I mean, and the average house, I have this story, maybe we'll do it Monday or something,

01:42:09.300 but the average house is...

01:42:12.040 Just under a million, right?

01:42:13.180 Right.

01:42:14.440 $935,000.

01:42:15.940 That's the median, not the average.

01:42:17.320 Median, sorry.

01:42:18.040 Yeah.

01:42:18.520 So, meaning half or above that, half or below that.

01:42:21.160 That's incredible, though.

01:42:22.000 Yeah, it is.

01:42:22.660 It's unbelievable.

01:42:23.340 And again, the average house in San Francisco is a lot smaller than the average house in

01:42:28.320 other places.

01:42:29.860 So, the median...

01:42:30.680 Oh, they're selling dumps for a million.

01:42:32.020 Yeah.

01:42:32.740 You're paying a million dollars.

01:42:33.840 I mean, you're at the point that...

01:42:35.240 I mean, if I could move my house from here to there, I could get a million dollars for it.

01:42:39.860 That would be a little difficult, Jeffy.

01:42:41.940 Although, yours being on wheels, it might not be so bad.

01:42:44.700 Right.

01:42:45.780 But it's a double wide, though, isn't it?

01:42:47.460 It might take up too much.

01:42:49.160 I only live on one side, though.

01:42:50.820 Watch for the low bridge crossings, okay?

01:42:53.540 Because that's important.

01:42:56.360 What's coming up on the show today?

01:42:58.400 We're going to, obviously, talk about many things.

01:43:03.060 One of them being...

01:43:06.680 Well, sometimes with the reaction to the Supreme Court is still going on, which is just maddening.

01:43:12.120 Yep.

01:43:12.500 Just maddening.

01:43:13.340 We'll probably go in-depth on LeBron.

01:43:16.060 We probably will, since this is a Glenn show and we can talk sports.

01:43:19.580 I want to show Bill de Blasio at the border, for one thing.

01:43:23.800 That's an amazing clip.

01:43:25.200 It sure is.

01:43:25.880 I love that.

01:43:26.860 And this Alexandria Cortez on Colbert last night, talking about what socialism means.

01:43:32.380 Oh, yeah.

01:43:32.760 This is a scary time.

01:43:34.400 It is.

01:43:34.920 It is.

01:43:35.240 All right, that's coming up on Pac-Rae Unleashed.

01:43:36.820 Watch on theblaze.com slash TV or theblaze.com slash radio or on any of your apps.

01:43:41.840 Check it out there.

01:43:42.660 Guys, thanks for coming on.

01:43:44.160 No, no.

01:43:44.880 Thank you.

01:43:48.080 Glenn Beck.

01:43:49.580 End of the show.

01:43:50.160 Let me take a call that Glenn would never let me take.

01:43:52.240 Mike in New Jersey.

01:43:53.220 Welcome to the program, Mike.

01:43:54.780 How you doing, Stu?

01:43:55.980 Glad to meet you.

01:43:57.020 E-A-G-L-E-S.

01:43:58.600 Hate them cowboys.

01:43:59.600 We are Super Bowl champions.

01:44:01.620 I'm glad you went to the game.

01:44:03.300 I went to the parade.

01:44:04.760 That's $4 million there.

01:44:06.480 Third.

01:44:07.060 Second thing, Mike Green.

01:44:08.660 Man, I love him.

01:44:09.520 I hope Trump picks this guy or his brother.

01:44:12.940 That's best for me.

01:44:14.320 Third thing, I'm using real estate agent I can trust.

01:44:18.520 She's the most compassionate woman and confident I ever met a real estate agent.

01:44:24.300 I'm using her out here in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, to buy a house in Mays Landing.

01:44:28.620 Amazing Eagles.

01:44:29.100 I've got to get where his guns are.

01:44:30.660 Plug.

01:44:31.560 And we've got Supreme Court stuff.

01:44:33.180 Amazing.
