The Glenn Beck Program - 'No Shame'？ - 5⧸24⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:00:04.700 On Demand.

00:00:06.560 Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.180 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:00:12.320 He's on vacation this week.

00:00:13.420 Be back with you on Monday.

00:00:16.320 So.

00:00:17.780 Oh, yeah, Tuesday.

00:00:18.480 Because Monday is, wow, it's Memorial Day weekend.

00:00:21.400 It is Memorial Day weekend.

00:00:22.720 That just, that just caused a little spark of happiness.

00:00:27.900 Racing through my entire body.

00:00:29.780 Good.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, that's nice.

00:00:31.100 That's nice.

00:00:32.060 Good reminder there, Jeffy.

00:00:35.000 The NFL has banned sort of kneeling, but they didn't make it a 15-yard penalty,

00:00:42.100 which I thought was an interesting idea.

00:00:44.640 And that's something that would be enforced.

00:00:46.480 I did originally, but I don't know that, I don't know that you find,

00:00:51.000 my original thought was the 15-yard penalty, that's a good idea. 1.00

00:00:53.660 But then if they came out onto the field, right, and everybody is standing,

00:00:56.780 and then 10 players kneel down.

00:00:59.000 Is it one penalty?

00:01:00.460 Is it 10 penalties?

00:01:01.760 Are they starting the drive in the parking lot?

00:01:04.580 I mean, I don't know what happens.

00:01:06.600 15 yards for every player who kneels?

00:01:08.340 Yeah.

00:01:08.460 I will say this, though.

00:01:09.860 If they did something like that, that would make it really enforced.

00:01:14.840 Because no team is going to want to start the game with penalties.

00:01:17.720 I know.

00:01:18.760 Nobody's going to be okay with that.

00:01:20.440 I know.

00:01:20.760 Maybe the NFL says you get one 15-yard penalty and a fine.

00:01:25.320 It would have made it serious.

00:01:28.700 Whereas now, it's like, okay, if you break the rules,

00:01:34.400 they're going to give you a little fine.

00:01:35.840 New York Jets owners already said he'll pay the fines for his players

00:01:38.960 if they want to kneel.

00:01:39.840 And the 49ers owners voted against it.

00:01:43.980 I'll go back and talk to my players.

00:01:46.180 I want to work on social justice stuff.

00:01:48.600 What?

00:01:50.020 What?

00:01:50.460 I don't even want to hear the phrase social justice anymore.

00:01:52.720 I don't want to hear it.

00:01:53.560 I don't want to hear the word fairness,

00:01:54.920 and I don't want to hear the phrase social justice.

00:01:56.680 I mean, that was Roger's line, right,

00:01:59.100 when they talked to him about continuing our collaboration with players

00:02:02.560 to advance the goals of justice and fairness in all corners of our society.

00:02:08.060 Thank you, Roger.

00:02:09.160 You know what?

00:02:10.060 That's not what the NFL is for.

00:02:11.620 I don't think so either.

00:02:13.260 It's just not what the NFL is for.

00:02:15.520 Don't talk to us about social justice and fairness and equality

00:02:19.220 and all that stuff.

00:02:20.140 The NFL is the last organization on earth to talk about fairness and equality.

00:02:27.520 When you have 75% of your players that are a certain ethnicity, 0.97

00:02:35.080 how is that fair?

00:02:37.260 Not in the social justice world it isn't.

00:02:39.480 No, it is not.

00:02:40.300 You should even that out.

00:02:41.640 There should be a proportional amount of whites, of blacks, of Hispanics, of Asians.

00:02:46.840 Where are all the Asian players?

00:02:47.960 How many Native Americans do you have on your teams?

00:02:52.100 You know?

00:02:53.780 In every other aspect of life, we're not worried about merit.

00:02:57.240 We're worried about fairness and equality and equaling the playing field.

00:03:01.460 Why aren't you doing that?

00:03:02.340 Don't start talking to me about social justice.

00:03:05.260 We're a bunch of hypocrites.

00:03:06.800 Absolutely.

00:03:08.200 I don't know that they've gone far enough for me to completely stop watching it.

00:03:16.220 That's the hard thing.

00:03:18.660 Because are we going to stop watching it?

00:03:20.540 No, I'm not going to.

00:03:23.480 I mean, although I don't watch much NFL to begin with.

00:03:26.760 I don't watch much NFL either.

00:03:28.680 Every once in a while, I'll see a game on Monday night or whatever.

00:03:31.480 But my big thing is college and I think yours too.

00:03:34.280 Yeah.

00:03:34.300 So, it wouldn't be impossible not to give up the NFL.

00:03:40.060 But I like it.

00:03:41.000 I do too.

00:03:41.840 You know, who doesn't enjoy it?

00:03:43.580 And one of the things about the NFL is you wait for it all year long to help you combat the insanity of the rest of the year.

00:03:52.400 Yes, have a getaway.

00:03:53.600 Yeah.

00:03:53.780 A refuge, a day of I'm just going to watch football.

00:03:58.720 Yeah, it's where you don't have to think about all this stuff.

00:04:00.840 And then, even there, they start throwing it in your face.

00:04:05.180 Why?

00:04:05.760 And they won't do anything about it.

00:04:07.020 I still am just amazed that they can't and didn't say from the very beginning, you are an employee.

00:04:16.120 You do what we say within the framework of this job.

00:04:20.280 If you don't want to, fine.

00:04:23.360 Go find another job.

00:04:25.940 And good luck finding one that pays you $15 million a year.

00:04:30.080 Well.

00:04:30.660 And good luck.

00:04:31.720 I know.

00:04:32.100 Good luck with that.

00:04:32.780 And good luck with a job that will give you a platform outside of the framework where people know you and you're able to promote your ideas.

00:04:42.240 Yeah, the whole thing is silly.

00:04:44.000 Just let people watch the NFL on the weekend and relax and enjoy something that's not beating us down with what we hear every single day of the week.

00:04:55.920 We just, we don't want that.

00:04:57.600 I don't want to be beaten down with social justice, equality, and fairness during an NFL football game.

00:05:02.080 That's not why I'm tuning in.

00:05:03.820 And for the players, that's not why you're playing.

00:05:07.620 You're there on that team to play football.

00:05:10.780 Right.

00:05:11.840 Well, this has provided me a forum.

00:05:14.480 Go use your forum outside the football field.

00:05:18.120 Yeah.

00:05:19.240 You've been provided this forum on a large scale for the last, how many ever years you've played in the NFL.

00:05:26.980 And then whatever you played in, most of them have played in Division I college football, which is a huge platform.

00:05:34.140 So, you've been given this platform.

00:05:36.440 Like I said a couple minutes ago, use that platform outside of the framework of the game to do whatever you want to do.

00:05:43.760 But Roger Goodell and the NFL management didn't nip this in the bud from the beginning.

00:05:50.100 And so, they allowed it to fester and become this gigantic thing.

00:05:54.020 Whereas, if at the beginning of the year, they would have said, look, we don't want to offend half of our customer base.

00:06:02.840 More than half of our fan base.

00:06:04.180 Yes.

00:06:04.860 This is a business.

00:06:08.320 A $10 billion a year business.

00:06:11.100 You will not kneel during the national anthem.

00:06:14.620 Period.

00:06:15.540 End of story.

00:06:16.480 And if you do kneel, okay, you're going to be fired.

00:06:20.280 This is a business.

00:06:21.980 You know, this is not the U.S. government forcing you to do something.

00:06:27.160 This is a private business with customer concerns.

00:06:31.600 And we're trying to make money here.

00:06:34.340 That's what we do.

00:06:35.500 We're trying to make money for everyone involved.

00:06:38.560 Especially you guys.

00:06:40.480 So, you know, they could have taken care of it in the beginning.

00:06:44.020 They sure could have.

00:06:44.580 And Roger tiptoed around it.

00:06:46.980 And this is where we're at.

00:06:48.100 Yep.

00:06:48.380 And all of this nonsense that, oh, it's not about the national anthem.

00:06:51.920 It's not about the military.

00:06:53.440 It's not about patriotism to America.

00:06:56.140 Tell that to Colin Kaepernick, who started this thing.

00:06:59.480 Because, according to him, on every occasion he's been asked about it, it is about the anthem.

00:07:06.600 Yes.

00:07:07.020 And I'm tired of hearing that Colin doesn't, you know, nobody has afforded him an opportunity to play football.

00:07:14.180 Oh, they have.

00:07:15.220 And part of the deal was, is that he wouldn't kneel.

00:07:18.360 Come and try out.

00:07:19.420 But if you make the team, you can't kneel.

00:07:22.300 Wasn't acceptable to him.

00:07:23.320 Nope.

00:07:23.920 Okay.

00:07:24.660 No.

00:07:24.980 Yeah.

00:07:25.300 Great.

00:07:25.620 No problem.

00:07:26.620 Right.

00:07:26.840 Stop complaining that you can't get a job then.

00:07:29.160 And yet we continue to hear that it's NFL football team's fault that he's not playing.

00:07:33.100 Right.

00:07:33.860 It's not.

00:07:34.400 It's not their fault.

00:07:36.140 And even if, even if they're, he is talented enough, he'd make a good backup, even if that's true.

00:07:43.860 And I'm not convinced it is.

00:07:46.240 But.

00:07:46.680 But let's say it is.

00:07:47.940 Let's say he's the greatest backup quarterback in the NFL.

00:07:51.860 And if he started, he could take you to the Super Bowl.

00:07:54.480 Like Foles did last year for the Eagles.

00:07:57.420 Well, there's still the problem of bringing all of that controversy.

00:08:01.520 Right.

00:08:02.020 To the locker room.

00:08:02.800 To the locker room, to your football team, and to the fan base, who's going to hate it.

00:08:07.780 And it's going to hurt your bottom line.

00:08:09.840 So, in the interest of your business, you decide it's not worth it.

00:08:14.100 Even though he's a good quarterback, it's not worth it, and I'm not going to hire him.

00:08:18.540 How does that not make sense to all these players in the NFL?

00:08:21.460 I don't get it.

00:08:21.860 I don't know.

00:08:22.560 And all these sportscasters.

00:08:24.300 Sportscasters are all going crazy over it, too.

00:08:26.380 When they suggested the 15-yard penalty, they all went nuts because they're all progressives.

00:08:31.320 All these sportscasters on ESPN and Fox Sports and Sports Illustrated, they're all progressives.

00:08:40.160 Well, you know, those guys all want the interviews, right?

00:08:43.260 They want to be able to go to the locker room, and they want to be able to talk to Colin.

00:08:46.700 Yeah.

00:08:46.940 So, as it is, what is probably going to happen is that the NFL Players Association will just stop this.

00:08:55.320 Yes.

00:08:56.040 And we'll have the kneeling thing again.

00:08:58.300 And it'll probably be bigger than it's ever been.

00:09:02.640 It's really too bad because, you know, I love football.

00:09:06.620 I like the NFL.

00:09:07.980 I like watching the games.

00:09:09.260 I love the Green Bay Packers.

00:09:10.500 Just don't ram it down with you.

00:09:11.680 I just want to watch football, please.

00:09:12.720 Don't give us a place of refuge.

00:09:17.700 It's interesting to me that they don't understand that.

00:09:20.400 It is.

00:09:21.340 It is interesting that they haven't been at least shown a path of, look, when you guys play the game, we have this many viewers.

00:09:32.880 We sell this many shirts.

00:09:34.200 We sell this much at the stadiums.

00:09:35.960 This is what we make.

00:09:37.240 You know, a rough draft.

00:09:38.020 This doesn't have to be exact, but just rough drafts.

00:09:40.700 When you kneel, we only sell this much.

00:09:44.500 Now, the difference is what we're going to be paying you.

00:09:48.500 Plus, you have the evidence last year of the decrease in ratings, which we don't know if you can attribute it all to that.

00:09:55.500 No, I mean, they've spread themselves thinner, too, across all platforms.

00:09:58.820 They have, but still, ratings are down, and maybe that was a part of it.

00:10:04.700 Maybe that was a part of why, and you've got that evidence to present to the Players Association and say, look, we're not going to lose our fans.

00:10:11.220 No.

00:10:11.600 Stop it.

00:10:13.420 888-727-BECK.

00:10:15.820 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:10:22.100 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week returns on Tuesday after Memorial Day.

00:10:26.700 You know what a weird situation this Kellyanne Conway's husband thing is?

00:10:35.460 He's been really public with his tweeting about his distaste for the president.

00:10:43.220 You've got probably the right-hand person of the president.

00:10:48.000 No kidding.

00:10:48.600 She's been there for a long time.

00:10:50.420 And nobody's more loyal than Kellyanne Conway.

00:10:55.500 And I think she'd say anything for the president.

00:10:58.640 I believe that.

00:10:59.140 And then you've got her husband tweeting out nasty things about him all the time.

00:11:03.920 Huge article about that.

00:11:04.960 That's a tough one.

00:11:05.700 Today.

00:11:05.880 That's a really tough one.

00:11:06.900 That's a tough one.

00:11:07.800 Think about that.

00:11:08.520 You think Trump's okay with that?

00:11:10.220 No way.

00:11:10.700 Absolutely not.

00:11:12.000 And you've got to think-

00:11:12.700 What an uncomfortable situation for her. 0.94

00:11:14.300 I know.

00:11:15.600 You've got to think that, I mean, that-

00:11:17.880 I'm comfortable at work and home now.

00:11:20.160 Yes.

00:11:20.860 Yes.

00:11:21.240 And you would think between the two of them at home, he'd be like, dude.

00:11:25.640 Of course, I don't know if Kellyanne Conway refers to her husband as-

00:11:29.240 No, she does.

00:11:30.040 She does.

00:11:30.520 That's clear, yeah.

00:11:31.620 Dude, you're making this really tough for me at work.

00:11:34.860 Can you stop?

00:11:36.920 And he said, shut up.

00:11:38.260 Go cook dinner.

00:11:40.460 I don't know.

00:11:41.860 That must be what he said.

00:11:42.700 I don't know.

00:11:43.280 He's ignoring it.

00:11:45.060 Just out of concern for your wife, you would think.

00:11:47.940 Yes.

00:11:48.500 Okay, yes.

00:11:49.060 I'll back off.

00:11:49.720 Yes, you would.

00:11:50.620 I'll keep it to myself.

00:11:51.700 I'll keep it to myself.

00:11:52.860 Or I'll talk to my coworkers about it, but I'm not going to share it publicly on Twitter.

00:11:57.520 Right.

00:11:58.620 You know what this would be like?

00:11:59.680 This would be like if my wife, Jackie, hated Glenn.

00:12:04.560 And every day she tweeted about what a fraud Glenn is, or she retweeted something about

00:12:13.300 Glenn that was really negative.

00:12:14.500 It was bad, yeah.

00:12:15.740 What would that do to my relationship with Glenn?

00:12:19.000 It would hurt.

00:12:19.820 Yeah.

00:12:20.400 Clearly.

00:12:20.720 I would think he'd come to me and he'd say, Pat, what's the deal with Jackie?

00:12:24.880 Clearly.

00:12:25.240 Can you talk to her?

00:12:27.980 Well, yeah, I did, but she just won't listen. 1.00

00:12:30.300 She's not.

00:12:31.200 He just keeps tweeting about you.

00:12:33.520 Is that a problem?

00:12:34.380 You're going to have to live with it.

00:12:35.340 You're going to have to live with it.

00:12:36.340 I mean, I can't control her.

00:12:37.920 And that is a fact.

00:12:39.600 After all, you're an elected official.

00:12:41.340 Right.

00:12:41.820 And you know what?

00:12:42.780 I mean, you're a public figure.

00:12:44.500 My wife is a private citizen.

00:12:45.860 She's an American.

00:12:46.600 She's just going to say what she wants about you.

00:12:48.300 Okay?

00:12:48.900 All right.

00:12:49.460 So.

00:12:49.980 I mean, can you imagine?

00:12:52.940 I don't know that you would last very long in this job if that happened.

00:12:57.060 I mean, I'm really any job.

00:12:58.940 Understandably so.

00:13:00.240 Now you're talking about the right-hand person of the president of the United

00:13:04.220 States who's got to get on cable news every day and talk about his policies and.

00:13:10.040 Talk truth to power.

00:13:11.560 Yep.

00:13:12.480 And defend him.

00:13:13.500 Yes.

00:13:13.820 And defend him and his policies and the things he says on Twitter and the investigation with

00:13:18.880 Mueller.

00:13:19.240 And you've got to do that every day.

00:13:20.380 And then you've got your husband working against you.

00:13:23.120 Right.

00:13:24.120 Tough situation.

00:13:25.240 Really tough.

00:13:25.920 And it's kind of amazing that Trump hasn't, I don't know, fired her for it.

00:13:33.220 Has he ever?

00:13:34.080 Has he?

00:13:34.360 It would be ugly to.

00:13:35.340 But you know, you know, it's almost understandable.

00:13:37.580 I know.

00:13:37.680 Look, I can't.

00:13:38.760 Kellyanne, I love you.

00:13:40.040 You've done a great job.

00:13:41.300 But I can't have your, the closest person in your life working against me in my administration

00:13:48.880 and really working against you every day.

00:13:52.820 It's a weird thing.

00:13:54.180 Weird.

00:13:54.940 Well, I do, I haven't delved into every tweet that President Trump has tweeted.

00:14:01.100 No.

00:14:02.360 And by the way, I am not blocked by President Trump.

00:14:06.220 Well, you can't be.

00:14:07.340 Constitutionally speaking, you can't be.

00:14:09.560 Which is weird.

00:14:10.680 But I'm, I know, and we'll talk about that a little bit.

00:14:13.820 But I, as he tweeted, like, you know, hey, Kelly's wife, George, man, he's such a bad

00:14:21.120 guy, I hate him.

00:14:22.440 I don't think so.

00:14:23.580 I don't think so.

00:14:24.360 I don't think so, which is an amazing restraint on his part.

00:14:27.660 Amazing restraint.

00:14:28.640 Because he could, and he's certainly capable.

00:14:30.400 And I'm not, and I'm surprised he hasn't.

00:14:32.400 Just to say, you know, I love Kelly.

00:14:34.280 Yeah.

00:14:34.440 Kelly does a great job, you know, trying to distance the whole thing.

00:14:37.380 But Kelly does a great job.

00:14:39.040 But, you know, not everybody picks the right spouse.

00:14:41.340 Because I've been through a couple of them myself.

00:14:46.900 And that'd be so easy for him to do.

00:14:48.720 Right.

00:14:49.820 I guess, out of respect for Kellyanne, he hasn't done it.

00:14:52.460 Good for him.

00:14:53.280 Yeah.

00:14:53.740 It's, I mean, he doesn't show a lot of restraint on Twitter.

00:14:57.000 No, he does not.

00:14:58.240 So, that's amazing, actually.

00:15:00.000 It's amazing.

00:15:01.580 888-727-BECK.

00:15:04.580 So, we have that.

00:15:06.600 We also have the president talking about Spygate and some thoughts that Jake Tapper from CNN

00:15:13.140 had on that.

00:15:14.580 And, of course, we've got the NFL continuing their goofy policies.

00:15:19.540 They're, you know, actually, they did the right thing, but they didn't put any teeth in it.

00:15:24.620 No.

00:15:25.340 So.

00:15:25.900 And I hope that it's not too little too late, but it kind of feels like it.

00:15:31.100 I do, too.

00:15:31.580 Yeah.

00:15:31.900 I do, too.

00:15:32.980 Janet in Florida, you're on the Glenn Beck program with Pat and Jeffy.

00:15:36.600 Hi, Pat.

00:15:37.460 Hi.

00:15:37.800 Hi, Jeffy.

00:15:38.240 Hello.

00:15:39.460 Just want to get right to the point about the NFL.

00:15:42.340 One thing that I noticed is, why haven't we heard anything about all this problems and

00:15:49.720 what they're trying to fight against during the offseason?

00:15:54.560 Right.

00:15:54.820 You're right.

00:15:55.340 From the players.

00:15:56.000 Yeah.

00:15:56.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:15:56.700 Absolutely.

00:15:57.140 Yeah.

00:15:57.420 They split everything, you know, they kneel and they have to make all these statements and

00:16:01.580 everything, but yet when it's on their time during offseason, you know,

00:16:05.680 I don't hear anything.

00:16:08.700 That's a good point.

00:16:10.400 That is a, that's an interesting point.

00:16:12.500 And, and they will say that they have been doing that.

00:16:15.020 They just don't get the coverage they get.

00:16:16.820 Right.

00:16:17.220 Which I don't, I don't buy that.

00:16:20.180 No, don't buy that.

00:16:20.700 Yeah.

00:16:20.820 The coverage, the coverage shouldn't mean anything.

00:16:23.000 If you're so, you know, if everything that you're fighting against is so important,

00:16:27.140 right.

00:16:27.680 Get out there and do something about it.

00:16:29.320 Right.

00:16:30.540 Thanks a lot, Jen.

00:16:31.360 I appreciate it.

00:16:31.880 Are you telling me if a bunch of NFL players got together on a street corner holding signs

00:16:36.440 and protesting or kneeling on a street corner or whatever, that wouldn't be covered?

00:16:41.600 No, nobody.

00:16:43.460 Nobody'd be interested in that story.

00:16:45.420 No, I don't care.

00:16:46.320 Sorry.

00:16:46.820 We see that every day.

00:16:47.880 Another NFL player protest over at 5th and Main.

00:16:51.500 Nah, that's not interesting.

00:16:54.160 I'm just not going to do it.

00:16:55.840 Oh, everybody would cover that.

00:16:57.500 That's kind of, yeah.

00:16:58.200 That's a great point.

00:16:59.580 Where are you?

00:17:00.840 They could be tweeting about it every day or once a week or once a month or anytime during

00:17:07.900 the off season.

00:17:08.520 I haven't seen any of it.

00:17:10.540 None of it.

00:17:11.140 And every sports show and television morning show across America dies for guests.

00:17:19.980 You could certainly go on any show you want.

00:17:21.820 No matter what you're hawking, there's time for you.

00:17:25.120 Well, the NFL Network has a morning show.

00:17:26.840 You could go on there and talk about what you believe is social justice.

00:17:33.400 Go ahead.

00:17:34.100 Yeah.

00:17:35.100 It's amazing.

00:17:36.180 It is.

00:17:36.940 Hadn't even thought of that.

00:17:37.940 It is.

00:17:39.560 888-727-BECK.

00:17:42.860 What do you make of the, speaking of the president as we were a moment ago, what do you make of

00:17:46.840 the Spygate conspiracy?

00:17:49.580 The FBI infiltrating the Trump campaign with spies.

00:17:55.060 People are calling it Spygate.

00:17:56.280 I just, I mean, I'm right with, uh, the president was stopped by the press yesterday and here's

00:18:04.120 what he's, he had to say about it.

00:18:05.940 It's so important.

00:18:06.880 What I'm doing is a service to this country.

00:18:13.880 And I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey.

00:18:16.200 And excuse me, a lot of people have said it and you go into the FBI.

00:18:21.740 A lot of people have said it.

00:18:23.540 That's what I know.

00:18:24.240 That's what I said.

00:18:24.740 I love that technique of this.

00:18:26.600 A lot of people have said it.

00:18:28.280 Well, then it puts it in your mind that, oh, okay.

00:18:30.640 I haven't heard anybody say it, but he has.

00:18:32.480 So a lot of people must be saying it.

00:18:34.760 And a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you, I did a great

00:18:40.260 service to our country by firing James Comey.

00:18:43.240 We got to continue this because it's good stuff.

00:18:47.040 He's a master at this.

00:18:48.720 And that's why he's in the White House.

00:18:50.180 This is 888-727-BECK.

00:18:54.120 More Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:03.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:05.580 With Pat and Jeffy this week, 888-727-BECK.

00:19:10.980 We were playing some of President Trump's words yesterday.

00:19:15.760 He had some things to say about the Spygate situation.

00:19:19.300 Yeah.

00:19:20.180 And about James Comey and what's going on with the continuing investigations.

00:19:26.360 It's so important.

00:19:28.140 What I'm doing is a service to this country.

00:19:31.540 And I did a great service to this country by firing James Comey.

00:19:36.920 And, excuse me, a lot of people have said it.

00:19:40.180 A lot of people have said it.

00:19:43.000 Can you deny that?

00:19:43.980 No.

00:19:44.460 No, you can't.

00:19:44.860 The FBI and a lot of those great people working in the FBI, they will tell you.

00:19:50.080 They'll tell you.

00:19:50.540 I did a great service to our country by firing James Comey.

00:19:54.840 He's safe there because nobody's going to go into the FBI like he said.

00:19:58.000 You go into the FBI and you ask them and they'll tell you that I did a great service firing James Comey.

00:20:04.720 We should book a trip to the FBI office in D.C.

00:20:09.900 and go into the FBI and say, hey, just by a show of hands.

00:20:17.480 Who here believes that President Trump did a great service by firing James Comey?

00:20:21.960 There's reports that that's actually true.

00:20:24.220 Yeah, there are.

00:20:24.780 Oh, yeah.

00:20:25.080 I've seen them.

00:20:25.840 But it's just that I know that you can't verify any of those.

00:20:28.720 You're not going to walk in and do that.

00:20:30.580 Right.

00:20:31.140 I want them all to get together and I want them because everybody wants to solve.

00:20:36.720 But a lot of bad things have happened.

00:20:38.440 We now call it Spygate.

00:20:40.180 You're calling it Spygate.

00:20:41.900 A lot of bad things have happened.

00:20:44.900 He's telling the press, you're calling it Spygate.

00:20:48.900 Nobody's calling it Spygate except him.

00:20:50.780 They're reporting on it because you called it that.

00:20:54.620 It's reminiscent of this.

00:20:57.780 Unions did, in fact, build the middle class.

00:21:01.140 Right.

00:21:01.940 Yeah.

00:21:02.680 And that built.

00:21:03.760 And here's what that did.

00:21:04.920 What did that do?

00:21:05.820 That built the United States of America as we know it.

00:21:09.320 You know, you notice they always refer to me in the press as middle class Joe.

00:21:14.500 Oh, no.

00:21:15.200 No, I've never noticed that, actually.

00:21:16.800 Everywhere.

00:21:17.080 The only one that refers to Joe Biden as middle class Joe is Joe Biden.

00:21:22.440 So good.

00:21:25.540 So that's why it's so great that Donald Trump employs that tactic.

00:21:30.700 He does.

00:21:31.060 I'm calling it Spygate.

00:21:32.500 You're calling it Spygate.

00:21:35.020 Am I?

00:21:36.020 Is that what I'm...

00:21:36.600 I guess so.

00:21:37.540 He told me.

00:21:38.060 Yeah, it's Spygate.

00:21:38.700 He's the president.

00:21:39.300 He told me I'm calling it Spygate.

00:21:40.780 Spygate.

00:21:41.260 That's what it is.

00:21:42.880 Period.

00:21:44.200 Amazing.

00:21:45.160 All right.

00:21:45.800 John in New York.

00:21:47.680 Welcome to the Glenn Beck.

00:21:48.520 Hey, guys.

00:21:49.120 Hey.

00:21:49.620 Hey, guys.

00:21:50.060 Straight to your point.

00:21:51.080 Trump is beating the media at their own game.

00:21:54.620 CNN every day yells out whatever comes to mind.

00:21:57.780 Yeah.

00:21:58.020 And sees what'll stick.

00:21:59.440 He's doing the same thing.

00:22:00.620 He's getting better.

00:22:01.820 That is true.

00:22:02.840 Yeah.

00:22:03.240 It is.

00:22:03.840 Whether we like it or not, half the country agrees on him.

00:22:06.220 Yep.

00:22:06.400 Half the country agrees on him.

00:22:07.660 So I think that he has done a service.

00:22:11.240 I mean, the leadership of the FBI, I think, is dirty.

00:22:14.720 Well, and I appreciate the call.

00:22:17.600 Thanks, John.

00:22:18.060 There have been articles about how there was discontent inside the FBI about James Comey.

00:22:23.340 Yes.

00:22:24.000 And they also are concerned that the upper echelon has been way too political for the past number

00:22:31.360 of years, including who's there now.

00:22:33.900 And I know there are reports about FBI.

00:22:38.940 Some FBI detectives or whatever, whatever their special agents, special agents are want

00:22:47.700 to be asked and subpoenaed by Congress so they can testify.

00:22:51.280 They want to be.

00:22:51.880 That was what's being reported because they don't want to, you know, they don't want to

00:22:55.840 just come out and say it because then if they get subpoenaed, then Congress covers the

00:22:59.460 costs.

00:22:59.940 A lot of people are saying they don't want to come out and say it.

00:23:02.580 A lot of people are saying that.

00:23:03.480 And it's exactly, that's exactly right.

00:23:05.320 You know, you're always hearing people call me positively perfect, Pat.

00:23:09.120 You're calling me positively perfect.

00:23:11.180 I am.

00:23:11.820 Yeah.

00:23:12.200 And a lot of people say it.

00:23:14.600 They say, hey, that's Pat Gray, positively perfect, Pat.

00:23:18.120 A lot of people are saying it.

00:23:20.740 Wow.

00:23:21.460 It's a good tactic.

00:23:22.740 It is a good tactic.

00:23:23.880 Except I don't want to call you positively perfect, Pat.

00:23:26.760 Well, everybody's calling me that.

00:23:28.320 So why wouldn't you?

00:23:29.620 I guess I'll have to start now.

00:23:32.680 No problem.

00:23:33.440 Now, there is somebody who's not buying into this, Jake Tapper.

00:23:37.280 We've talked about Jake Tapper a lot.

00:23:39.100 To me, he's a really good journalist.

00:23:42.060 I think, though, he's somewhat irritated with the president.

00:23:46.180 He did a monologue that was pretty biting.

00:23:49.460 President Trump pushing a brand new conspiracy theory, one seemingly grounded more in suspicions

00:23:54.760 and his desire for a counter narrative than it is based on established facts.

00:23:59.680 Tweeting in one of his five tweets today on the subject of this confidential FBI source

00:24:04.080 who spoke with at least three Trump campaign members in 2016, quote,

00:24:08.220 Spygate could be one of the biggest political scandals in history.

00:24:12.960 And this afternoon, the president went on to say this.

00:24:15.840 Well, we have looked at the basics.

00:24:28.000 What we know is this.

00:24:29.880 The FBI conducting a counterintelligence investigation in 2016 into whether Russians were trying to influence the election

00:24:37.420 or just what they were up to sent a confidential FBI source to speak with members of the Trump campaign.

00:24:43.460 U.S. officials tell CNN that that source was not planted within the campaign.

00:24:47.720 He wasn't a campaign staffer, as far as we know.

00:24:50.580 There's obviously a lot we don't know, but there's no evidence as of now that this was done for political purposes,

00:24:55.760 as the president is alleging.

00:24:57.160 We're told that the FBI was trying to figure out just what the Russians were up to

00:25:00.840 and whether they were getting help from any Americans.

00:25:03.340 That makes sense.

00:25:04.380 Now, how tough would it be to find out whether or not this guy was part of the campaign?

00:25:10.080 You should absolutely have access to that.

00:25:12.580 Look for it.

00:25:13.080 Is his name on the campaign roster?

00:25:15.700 Was he paid by the campaign?

00:25:18.260 That should be easy to find out.

00:25:19.580 So why haven't we now?

00:25:20.960 I don't know.

00:25:21.340 I mean, if the guy just interviewed campaign staffers, that's not a spy within the Trump campaign.

00:25:27.060 No.

00:25:27.360 And did they do other interviews with the Hillary Clinton campaign?

00:25:30.840 You know, because they were concerned about the Russians in the campaign.

00:25:35.180 Right.

00:25:35.760 Yeah, that's a good question.

00:25:37.400 I was wondering.

00:25:37.660 It's a good question.

00:25:38.360 Now, while we await the investigation into this matter by journalists and by the Justice Department Inspector General,

00:25:44.860 it's worth remembering that while we're sticking to the facts and telling you just what we know,

00:25:50.380 President Trump apparently has no such constraints since he simply makes stuff up.

00:25:55.260 He frequently lies and has a long and well-documented career engaging in conspiracy theories

00:25:59.880 about all manner of subjects with no concrete evidence ever provided.

00:26:04.780 Just a small sampling for years, he perpetuated the myth that President Obama wasn't born in the United States.

00:26:10.940 True.

00:26:11.940 He's got a point there.

00:26:13.120 He's claimed with no evidence he saw thousands of Muslims on TV celebrating 9-11 on rooftops in New Jersey.

00:26:18.900 Now, I think what happened there was he conflated that with the Middle East where there were thousands of Muslims cheering.

00:26:27.940 It did happen.

00:26:28.960 That happened in the Palestinian territories.

00:26:31.580 There's documented evidence of that.

00:26:33.720 Didn't happen in New Jersey, perhaps, but it did happen in the Middle East.

00:26:37.800 No evidence of that.

00:26:38.660 He bizarrely suggested Senator Ted Cruz's father might have been involved in the assassination of JFK.

00:26:43.960 Okay.

00:26:44.340 There's no defense on that one.

00:26:46.020 There's just no defense on that one.

00:26:46.960 He wasn't president here, though.

00:26:49.420 What?

00:26:50.020 This is during the campaign.

00:26:51.280 Well, right, yes.

00:26:51.940 That was during the campaign.

00:26:53.140 Nope.

00:26:53.420 You get to say what you want.

00:26:54.100 He explained that his popular vote lost by blaming three to five illegal votes.

00:26:58.560 Again, zero evidence for this.

00:27:01.060 He pushed a conspiracy theory that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was somehow involved in the tragic death of one of his staff members.

00:27:06.820 Again, well, now, wait a minute.

00:27:08.420 Stop right there.

00:27:10.680 I mean.

00:27:11.560 Let's not get hasty and just dismiss that one out of hand.

00:27:14.500 We need to dig a little bit deeper on that, Jake.

00:27:17.460 Let's look into how a 26-year-old girl fell out of her chair and died.

00:27:21.840 Let's look into that.

00:27:22.560 Shall we?

00:27:23.340 Okay.

00:27:23.760 Zero evidence.

00:27:24.580 He said that former President Obama had his wires tapped in Trump Tower.

00:27:28.140 No evidence of that either.

00:27:29.600 I could go on, but this is just an hour show.

00:27:32.360 We should get to the bottom of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Russian election interference and whether anything was done improperly by law enforcement as well as those who are guilty of whatever they might be guilty of.

00:27:45.460 The FBI is certainly not above criticism.

00:27:47.880 And without question, there needs to be a healthy and robust oversight of the intelligence agencies.

00:27:52.200 But that's not what the president is pushing for here.

00:27:54.700 He's focused on propelling a counter narrative to try to undermine the special counsel investigation.

00:28:00.160 It's a fable in which he is the victim.

00:28:03.540 And law enforcement officials are the bad guys.

00:28:06.120 The president frequently seeks to undermine those who look to undercover uncomfortable facts about him.

00:28:12.440 This week, for example, 60 Minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl revealed that then-candidate Donald Trump told her during an off-camera conversation she had with him in the summer of 2016,

00:28:21.880 Stahl says she asked Donald Trump why he continues to attack the press.

00:28:26.080 And according to her, this was his response.

00:28:28.040 He said, you know why I do it?

00:28:31.260 I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.

00:28:39.240 Chilling, really.

00:28:40.440 And yet wholly unsurprising.

00:28:42.460 And the president is now doing the same thing with special counsel Robert Mueller and the Justice Department and the FBI.

00:28:47.440 And as this new counter narrative is being born, one that is being repeated already by the president's obedient supporters on the Hill and his vassals in conservative media,

00:28:57.600 we here will continue digging for the truth despite this bombardment of falsehoods.

00:29:03.160 CNN's Jeff Zeleny now picks up our coverage on this issue.

00:29:05.660 We don't need to pick up the coverage on the decision.

00:29:08.220 But if the Leslie Stahl thing is true, that's a problem.

00:29:12.280 Oh, and we're just taking her word for it, though.

00:29:14.980 I know.

00:29:15.340 I don't know.

00:29:15.780 And sadly, it does sound like it would be true, though.

00:29:19.180 Well, it sounds like something he would say, but we don't know that he did say it.

00:29:22.480 And for her to just blurt that out, well, was that in a conversation where you were recording?

00:29:30.420 Was he on camera?

00:29:31.420 Let's see it.

00:29:32.000 Let's see the evidence.

00:29:32.940 It's difficult to believe Leslie wasn't recording when she was around the president.

00:29:35.860 I know.

00:29:36.680 I do, too.

00:29:38.640 So you're a 60 Minutes reporter.

00:29:40.680 You must have had that on, well, not on tape, but on some digitized form of recording.

00:29:48.000 Right.

00:29:48.660 So where is it?

00:29:50.040 Let's see it.

00:29:50.800 And the wiretap stuff, I mean, you know, that they, while I don't think, I think that's

00:29:56.120 been proven that it wasn't, they weren't listening to him directly, but they had other people

00:30:02.200 that they were listening to, right?

00:30:03.560 So that if you were to talk with them, then you were involved in that.

00:30:08.360 Yeah.

00:30:08.620 I mean, it was pretty, I know that it wasn't, you know, technically he wasn't being listened

00:30:14.100 to.

00:30:14.280 And I know that, you know, ardent President Trump supporters get upset with us when we

00:30:19.600 even consider some of this stuff.

00:30:23.220 But, you know, I think we've always called it as we've seen it here.

00:30:27.260 I do.

00:30:27.640 And when he does good things, we say he's done good things.

00:30:31.260 And when he doesn't do good things, we mention that, too.

00:30:34.680 You know, if you're going to praise him, no matter what he does, as some do, as Jake

00:30:41.640 Tapper pointed out in the conservative media, some do, no matter what he does, they praise

00:30:46.240 it.

00:30:46.840 Whether that's making a trillion dollars more debt in a week or, you know, appointing Judge

00:30:56.620 Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

00:30:58.460 One's good.

00:30:58.960 One's really bad.

00:30:59.680 And you're just defending all of it?

00:31:02.500 Well, that's kind of like a baseball umpire who's decided in advance before the game starts

00:31:07.060 that because he likes the pitcher on the mound, he's going to call every single pitch a strike.

00:31:14.780 Is that fair?

00:31:16.240 No.

00:31:17.380 No.

00:31:18.800 You just got to call it as you see it.

00:31:22.560 But I'd like to see the proof of the Leslie Stahl thing.

00:31:25.540 I'd like to see if she's got that on tape because that would be interesting.

00:31:30.220 Yes, it would.

00:31:30.680 And I'd like to revisit the Joe Scarborough.

00:31:34.540 Thank you, Jeffy.

00:31:35.380 Thank you.

00:31:35.840 Yeah.

00:31:36.500 It's Pat and Jeffy for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

00:31:42.480 Glenn Beck.

00:31:43.780 It's Pat and Jeffy this week for Glenn.

00:31:46.800 This is sad news.

00:31:48.000 This is disappointing.

00:31:49.140 Okay.

00:31:49.660 President Trump wrote a letter to North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, saying that their plans

00:31:54.320 summit next month in Singapore has been canceled.

00:31:58.180 He wrote, sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most

00:32:04.100 recent statement, I feel it's inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting.

00:32:10.740 So it's off.

00:32:12.260 I'm not sure to what statement he was referring.

00:32:17.400 I don't know if I've heard one that openly hostile.

00:32:19.460 I'm not sure.

00:32:20.560 I know that he was talking about not giving up the nuke program and everything, but he

00:32:26.360 also goes on in this letter to say, you talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are

00:32:32.060 so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used.

00:32:37.260 So he gets his dig in like, hey, Kim, don't push me.

00:32:44.540 Right.

00:32:44.660 Like my dog's bigger than your dog.

00:32:47.480 A lot bigger.

00:32:51.520 We've got a great day and you have a chihuahua. 1.00

00:32:54.640 So.

00:32:55.420 So, I mean, I pray I don't have to let him.

00:32:59.900 I was.

00:33:00.760 I mean, this would have been great.

00:33:02.760 No kidding.

00:33:03.480 No kidding.

00:33:04.160 Maybe it can happen some other time.

00:33:06.280 And look, he's not closing the door to that.

00:33:08.640 No, he did not close the door at all.

00:33:10.020 He alludes to that completely.

00:33:12.880 So, you know, it could still happen.

00:33:15.340 And China might make that happen with Kim.

00:33:17.380 I mean, Kim's got to. 0.97

00:33:19.880 He's got to step up, right?

00:33:21.360 Yeah, it's it's amazing how quickly this went south.

00:33:26.340 First of all, went south in the beginning.

00:33:28.980 Turned around almost 180 degrees right around the Olympics when North Korea was. 0.86

00:33:35.460 Really reaching out to South Korea and South Korea has always wanted that.

00:33:43.260 So they were welcoming it and they sent representatives to the games.

00:33:47.400 And then after the games, there was more conciliatory talk.

00:33:51.520 And then Kim Jong-un met with Moon Jae-in from South Korea.

00:33:55.980 And they had a decent conversation on the demilitarized zone.

00:33:59.000 They were talking about ending the Korean War finally.

00:34:01.380 Officially.

00:34:02.040 Yeah.

00:34:02.500 Obviously, the the actual action stopped a while ago.

00:34:06.520 But it's it's never been officially ended with treaty.

00:34:11.580 And they and they were talking about doing that.

00:34:14.240 And then the summit was set up.

00:34:16.140 I mean, that was we had some serious momentum for peace.

00:34:18.980 Yeah, we did.

00:34:19.620 And then he got mad.

00:34:20.740 That's right.

00:34:21.080 He got mad because we were having our military exercises and we were coming together with

00:34:25.580 them.

00:34:25.960 And he was trying he's trying to play with the big boys.

00:34:28.760 Right.

00:34:28.960 That's why, you know, President Trump had to remind him that that our dog's bigger than

00:34:33.700 yours.

00:34:34.300 Thank you.

00:34:35.180 And not because it eats kennel ration.

00:34:37.820 It's because remember those commercials, by the way, my dog's bigger than your dog.

00:34:41.260 You know, of course not.

00:34:42.280 You wouldn't because your grandfather might.

00:34:44.780 Right.

00:34:45.200 Yeah.

00:34:45.960 Triple eight.

00:34:46.960 Seven to seven.

00:34:47.760 Back.

00:34:50.700 Glenn.

00:34:51.540 Back.

00:34:52.700 Mercury.

00:34:59.100 Glenn.

00:35:00.140 Back.

00:35:00.860 It's back.

00:35:01.540 Grand Jeffy for Glenn this week.

00:35:03.560 Thanks for joining us on the show at noon Eastern.

00:35:06.300 Immediately following this show.

00:35:08.520 You can join me for my own show.

00:35:09.640 Pat Gray Unleashed.

00:35:10.920 Blaze Radio dot com.

00:35:12.020 I heart radio app.

00:35:13.420 Blaze Radio and TV network every weekday starting at noon Eastern.

00:35:17.920 Triple eight.

00:35:18.820 Seven to seven.

00:35:19.740 Back.

00:35:20.840 Something kind of fun coming up this summer.

00:35:23.100 A lot.

00:35:24.940 A lot of classic rock tours.

00:35:28.820 I knew you were going to be able to not talk about this.

00:35:30.700 I can't help but talk about this.

00:35:32.420 I knew you weren't thinking of it.

00:35:34.780 Just kidding.

00:35:35.260 I mean, this hits you right where you live.

00:35:38.120 It does.

00:35:38.620 We started scrolling through this earlier and it's just like, you know, that would be bad.

00:35:43.220 That would be all right.

00:35:44.120 All of these would be, I know just about all of them, would be fantastic.

00:35:48.020 James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt are touring this summer.

00:35:50.500 I don't know that I could take James though.

00:35:52.660 Oh, I like James Taylor.

00:35:53.600 I'm not.

00:35:53.860 I know, but he's going to speak.

00:35:55.440 Oh, that's true.

00:35:57.360 If he starts injecting politics, I would not want to see it.

00:36:01.680 Would not want to.

00:36:02.820 John Fogerty and ZZ Top will be together.

00:36:05.440 Yeah.

00:36:06.940 Steve Miller and Peter Frampton.

00:36:08.920 Wow.

00:36:09.420 Oh, that'd be great.

00:36:10.340 Wow.

00:36:10.720 Love to see that.

00:36:11.920 I would love to see Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers.

00:36:15.880 That'd be a good show.

00:36:16.380 What's great about the Doobie Brothers too is that two out of the three lead singers are

00:36:23.100 with the band again.

00:36:23.980 Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons.

00:36:25.580 Still though, no Michael.

00:36:26.440 No Michael McDonald.

00:36:27.300 And Walter Becker has gone from Steely Dan.

00:36:29.360 Yeah, he died.

00:36:30.440 You know, Donald Fagan's going to be touring with them, but it's not exactly the same.

00:36:35.000 I think one of their sons tours with Steely Dan now, with Fagan.

00:36:40.420 Okay.

00:36:40.520 Yeah.

00:36:41.640 Jeff Beck and Paul Rogers from Free and Bad Company.

00:36:44.680 That wouldn't be bad to see.

00:36:45.840 No, it wouldn't.

00:36:46.160 And Jeff's always been great.

00:36:47.680 Paul Rogers was touring with Queen for a while, which would have been interesting to see.

00:36:52.560 One, I've already got tickets to Def Leppard and Journey.

00:36:55.440 Ugh.

00:36:56.040 That's coming to the DFW.

00:36:58.140 You don't like Def Leppard and Journey?

00:36:59.540 Not really.

00:37:01.860 I didn't think I could lose any more respect for you than I already have, but no, it just

00:37:07.820 happened.

00:37:08.280 It just happened.

00:37:09.300 I guarantee that you can't.

00:37:10.440 We're into negative respect now.

00:37:12.160 I guarantee you can't.

00:37:13.400 There's no doubt in my mind that you can't.

00:37:15.540 Yeah.

00:37:15.760 We're definitely into negative territory.

00:37:17.420 That's for sure.

00:37:18.880 Holland Oates and Train.

00:37:21.320 Now, Train's not exactly classic rock, but I like Train.

00:37:24.560 Holland Oates is good, though.

00:37:25.440 And Holland Oates is great.

00:37:26.300 I remember seeing them once a long time ago.

00:37:28.340 They were putting on a great show.

00:37:29.680 Rod Stewart, Cindy Lauper.

00:37:30.900 If you're lost, you can look and you'll find her time after time.

00:37:36.820 Time.

00:37:37.080 She's right there.

00:37:38.360 And so, like, if you get lost in the wilderness, you just look.

00:37:41.920 And there's Cindy Lauper and she'll lead you out of there.

00:37:44.000 Is that a...

00:37:44.700 I don't know why more people don't do that when they get lost.

00:37:48.000 Because she's always said, you look and you find her.

00:37:50.920 Chicago and REO Speedwagon.

00:37:53.760 Riding the storm out, baby.

00:37:55.040 That might be a good show, actually.

00:37:56.400 Except for their, you know, without Peter Satira.

00:37:58.280 I know.

00:37:58.760 Chicago's a tough one now.

00:37:59.960 I know.

00:38:00.800 I just saw them on...

00:38:02.380 Have you ever watched AXIS TV?

00:38:04.260 Yeah.

00:38:05.000 Yeah.

00:38:05.300 They always have the classic bands on their live performances.

00:38:09.100 They had Chicago on.

00:38:10.780 And I was interested to see if Robert Lamb still had his voice.

00:38:18.220 It's tough.

00:38:19.380 It is hard.

00:38:20.140 It's tough.

00:38:20.380 You know, he's in his 70s now.

00:38:22.220 That's really hard.

00:38:23.080 He's been touring on the road between everything else, let alone life.

00:38:27.700 Right.

00:38:28.760 Yeah.

00:38:29.200 That's tough.

00:38:29.980 Really hard.

00:38:31.940 U2.

00:38:34.240 Biggest show.

00:38:35.040 Paul Simon.

00:38:37.040 Ringo Starr.

00:38:38.400 I always wanted to see Paul Simon.

00:38:40.020 Did you ever see him?

00:38:40.840 I have not.

00:38:41.740 I'm not a huge Paul Simon fan.

00:38:43.260 I know.

00:38:43.840 I like a lot of his stuff, though, and I would like to see him.

00:38:47.200 Robert Plant.

00:38:50.760 Jeff Lins.

00:38:51.800 ELO.

00:38:52.460 That might be worth a look.

00:38:54.440 Oh, my gosh.

00:38:55.660 I'd pay almost anything to see ELO.

00:38:58.700 The Eagles.

00:38:59.920 Love to see them, too.

00:39:01.520 And now Glenn Frey.

00:39:03.000 You know who we lost Glenn Frey to.

00:39:05.080 His son, Deacon, is part of the band.

00:39:07.520 So, I think he sings the Glenn Frey songs like Take It Easy and all those.

00:39:11.260 And Vince Gill is doing some of the touring with them, too?

00:39:14.160 Wow.

00:39:14.860 Yeah.

00:39:15.220 That seems like a strange fit.

00:39:16.920 It does.

00:39:17.300 He might be able to pull it off, though.

00:39:18.980 Ozzy Osbourne coming?

00:39:20.300 I know.

00:39:20.620 My son wants to see Ozzy bad.

00:39:22.120 My youngest son.

00:39:23.640 Because they're going to be in Dallas.

00:39:24.860 One of the tour dates is in Dallas.

00:39:26.460 We've got to go see Ozzy.

00:39:27.580 He doesn't bite the heads off doves anymore, but he does take a bite of a dove candy bar now.

00:39:34.040 I'm all about that.

00:39:34.880 His dentures can't get all the way through the bar.

00:39:37.040 I know.

00:39:37.740 It's going to be interesting to see how they just walk him out on stage and say,

00:39:43.640 Okay, here you are.

00:39:44.780 You're in the city.

00:39:45.620 Go.

00:39:46.100 Uh-huh.

00:39:46.620 I know.

00:39:48.020 Seriously, does he even know where he is?

00:39:49.880 I don't know.

00:39:50.220 I don't know.

00:39:50.960 I mean, I think he does.

00:39:51.580 And if he does, that's amazing.

00:39:52.700 It's amazing if he does.

00:39:53.440 I think he does from time to time.

00:39:56.640 Roger Daltrey touring without The Who.

00:40:00.260 Good luck with that, Roger.

00:40:01.500 Oh, Michael Neesmith and Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees.

00:40:04.880 You know, David Jones is gone now.

00:40:06.860 Leonard Skinner, they're surviving members.

00:40:09.580 Steven Tyler.

00:40:11.660 I think he's doing a country.

00:40:13.340 He's touring for his country album that he did a couple years ago.

00:40:16.520 They were talking on here that it's about a month long.

00:40:19.720 It's not really a big tour.

00:40:21.260 He's just going out and performing his country stuff for a few dates in the summer.

00:40:26.560 But...

00:40:27.040 I like Steven Tyler.

00:40:27.920 I do, too.

00:40:28.680 I kind of do, too.

00:40:29.540 I love Aerosmith.

00:40:30.300 It might be worth going just for the fun of it, you know?

00:40:32.400 Yeah.

00:40:32.800 Yeah.

00:40:33.780 And then Alice Cooper.

00:40:35.780 And on some of those shows, Ace Frehley from Kiss will open.

00:40:40.360 That'd be fun.

00:40:41.780 And here's the worst part of going over this list.

00:40:46.680 You don't need to talk about that.

00:40:48.540 We found this list.

00:40:50.740 On the AARP website.

00:40:56.240 That's so bad.

00:40:58.080 Association for Retired Americans.

00:41:00.080 I'm looking at the Chris Cuomo story about him moving to prime time.

00:41:05.860 Yeah.

00:41:06.300 And I look along the side, you know, as the side ads of the website, whatever website I

00:41:10.820 was reading in, and I see, oh, Nostalgia Tour.

00:41:14.040 And I click on it.

00:41:14.740 It's AARP.

00:41:15.700 Oh, man.

00:41:16.620 What are you doing to me?

00:41:18.000 That hurts.

00:41:18.640 That hurts.

00:41:19.040 I shouldn't have clicked on it because now all I'm going to see is AARP ads.

00:41:22.440 I know.

00:41:22.980 Well, yeah, for sure.

00:41:24.600 For sure.

00:41:25.140 And I'm not a supporter of AARP with their big progressive agenda that they, you know,

00:41:31.420 I wonder how they feel about Obamacare that they helped drive down our throats now.

00:41:36.640 How you feel now?

00:41:37.400 You like that?

00:41:38.760 Idiots.

00:41:39.780 Idiots.

00:41:41.320 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B-E-C-K.

00:41:45.520 So we've mentioned a couple of things this morning.

00:41:48.200 The NFL kneeling rule.

00:41:50.800 They've actually stated now that it's against the rules to kneel, and there'll be some penalties

00:41:56.200 for it, but not like a 15-yard penalty, but you'll probably pay a fine.

00:42:01.560 Somebody will.

00:42:03.720 Also, the Donald Trump spygate thing still continues to brew, and the North Korean summit

00:42:10.660 has been canceled.

00:42:12.200 President sent a letter to Kim Jong-un saying, yeah, because of your rhetoric, it's not appropriate

00:42:17.280 to meet right now.

00:42:18.220 That's really sad.

00:42:19.100 Actually, it's sad news.

00:42:20.280 It's disappointing.

00:42:21.320 It's a better word than sad.

00:42:22.680 But I just, I really want to, for some reason, I don't know why I've always, I felt good

00:42:27.340 about that actually happening.

00:42:28.540 Yeah, I did too.

00:42:29.440 Yeah, I did too.

00:42:31.060 Also, some sad news, the Iranian leader, who is the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said that

00:42:41.500 the United States will lose in any matchup with Iran, just like the cat in Tom and Jerry. 1.00

00:42:51.600 What a hip reference.

00:42:54.160 You know, you talk about a pop culture aficionado.

00:42:58.280 You gotta talk.

00:42:59.200 You're talking Ali Khamenei.

00:43:00.740 I mean, everybody knows Tom and Jerry, though.

00:43:02.660 Are they just now getting our 50-year-old cartoons?

00:43:06.620 It's possible.

00:43:07.320 So he's catching up on the hip factor a little bit?

00:43:09.400 It's possible.

00:43:10.840 I just found that really weird.

00:43:13.120 But the cat in Tom and Jerry?

00:43:15.420 Right.

00:43:15.780 Although, I will say it's a reference that everyone knows, right?

00:43:18.340 I guess.

00:43:19.440 Everybody over 40, maybe.

00:43:21.360 Yeah.

00:43:21.720 That's true.

00:43:22.460 Yeah.

00:43:22.680 He said the U.S. has tried various political, economic, military, and propaganda undertakings

00:43:28.540 to hit the Islamic Republic throughout its four decades. 0.97

00:43:31.420 The nation's top religious leader told the gathering, but all of these plots failed.

00:43:36.160 Like the famous cat in Tom and Jerry, they will lose again.

00:43:42.340 That is weird.

00:43:43.840 They've got to start picking a fight or whatever because they've got the uprisings and some

00:43:47.160 very unhappy people in their country.

00:43:49.820 And we did not take advantage of that.

00:43:52.340 No, we did not.

00:43:52.920 Back in 2009 when Obama had the chance to encourage, you know, an uprising.

00:43:56.880 And he should have.

00:43:57.700 He encouraged everybody else.

00:43:59.020 He should have.

00:43:59.500 He could have.

00:44:00.060 We could have maybe overthrown that oppressive government at the time.

00:44:04.880 And it doesn't seem like we're taking the opportunity this time either.

00:44:08.280 So we'll see.

00:44:10.480 Maybe we will.

00:44:12.200 But so far, it's kind of quiet on the Iranian front.

00:44:15.560 And if we would have acted on it during Obama, we would have missed the Tom and Jerry reference,

00:44:19.580 though.

00:44:20.000 So, I mean.

00:44:21.640 So it was almost worth it to just leave it alone so we could get that.

00:44:25.000 It's a little D.

00:44:25.240 Yeah.

00:44:25.700 That was.

00:44:26.180 Yeah.

00:44:28.960 Another big story from the UN.

00:44:31.940 The world is facing an obesity challenge.

00:44:35.180 Your thoughts on that, Jeffy?

00:44:37.280 I couldn't disagree more.

00:44:39.540 It's not a challenge.

00:44:40.700 I'll tell you that.

00:44:41.760 It isn't a challenge to become obese.

00:44:43.300 It's really easy.

00:44:44.920 It's really easy.

00:44:45.800 Here's the thing, though.

00:44:47.540 You know, if the world is getting too fat, isn't that a good thing?

00:44:51.420 Supposed to be.

00:44:52.100 Right?

00:44:52.660 I mean, because of capitalism, instead of starving to death, instead of distended stomachs and emaciated bodies, people now have so much food that they're actually overweight?

00:45:04.380 That seems better to me.

00:45:06.020 The World Health Organization and the United Nations, they run this, they slam this story down our throats a couple of times a year, at least once a year.

00:45:16.480 And then they go back to, I bet you attached somewhere in that story, and I don't have it in front of me, but I bet you somewhere in that story, they go, they link to, let's all eat bugs for health and purposes.

00:45:28.640 So that people are less obese, and it's for our health purposes, because they are, they are cramming us to eat bugs forever.

00:45:36.960 I can help them out with that and just say, no, I'm not going to ever do that.

00:45:41.680 I'm not going to do that.

00:45:44.340 As long as there are alternatives to eating bugs, I'm going to take them.

00:45:49.980 Really?

00:45:50.420 Yeah.

00:45:51.140 Even if it leads to diabetes, I'm still going to eat food that I like and not turn to bugs.

00:45:57.200 So, you might as well not even worry about it.

00:46:00.580 I mean, it...

00:46:02.200 Glenn, back, Mercury.

00:46:07.580 Pat Graham, Jeffy, Glenn, 888-727-BECK.

00:46:12.840 The court that ruled in the case of the parents trying to kick their son out of their house, the 30-year-old son, they ruled that he has to go.

00:46:27.480 He's appealing the case.

00:46:30.140 Hateful court against this young man.

00:46:33.540 This poor child.

00:46:34.980 This poor 30-year-old child.

00:46:38.360 Unable to find employment.

00:46:39.500 Who doesn't have a job.

00:46:41.480 Struggling.

00:46:42.800 I guess he cooks his own food and does his own laundry.

00:46:49.000 What's the problem?

00:46:51.520 These mean, mean parents.

00:46:54.400 Yes.

00:46:55.480 You know, at the tender age of 30, want him out of their house.

00:47:00.140 How dare they?

00:47:01.800 How dare they?

00:47:04.040 So, he was on CNN yesterday and was interviewed.

00:47:08.860 It's interesting.

00:47:11.060 The guy's got some issues.

00:47:12.360 Because it's my understanding, you've lived, you know, at your parents' house, rent-free for eight years.

00:47:16.820 And I know you do your own laundry, you buy your own food.

00:47:20.800 But they asked you five times, please move out.

00:47:26.240 Why couldn't you guys resolve this without the court?

00:47:30.560 Yeah.

00:47:30.780 I would consider much of what they were doing to try to get me out as a tax.

00:47:38.500 And what I was trying to, I was just, you know, trying to preserve, well, trying to do what's best for me.

00:47:46.420 Which is just, you know, let's try to be a little more reasonable.

00:47:49.320 Oh, there you go.

00:47:50.440 So, he stubbles over it a little bit because what he's trying to say here is, I didn't want to.

00:47:55.100 Yeah.

00:47:55.580 I don't want to.

00:47:56.380 Best for me.

00:47:57.260 Yeah.

00:47:57.520 I'm, it was easy for me to stay.

00:48:00.440 Leave. 0.99

00:48:00.960 I don't like living here.

00:48:02.220 Uh-huh.

00:48:02.620 Oh, no.

00:48:03.400 But I need, you know, I need reasonable time.

00:48:06.000 Needs a little time.

00:48:06.780 As an example of this, the first.

00:48:08.740 He just needs a little time.

00:48:09.880 It's only been eight years.

00:48:11.060 He's only been there since, I guess, after he graduated from college, did he?

00:48:14.420 I don't even know.

00:48:15.580 Because apparently there was a space between when they raised him and when he came back to live at home.

00:48:22.360 Wasn't it reported that he even, I mean, he had a wife and a kid?

00:48:25.880 Or was it just a kid?

00:48:26.580 Oh, that's right.

00:48:26.660 Yes.

00:48:26.760 He got a divorce, right?

00:48:27.880 Because they broke up and then she got custody. 1.00

00:48:29.900 He lost custody of the child.

00:48:31.520 Yeah.

00:48:31.920 You can't be expected to have your own place once you lose custody of the child.

00:48:35.000 No, you can't.

00:48:35.860 The February 2nd notice was basically, you have 14 days before you're outside in the winter weather.

00:48:43.100 Well, yeah, but see, what you do is you get a different place so that you're inside.

00:48:47.520 Whatever.

00:48:48.380 I know two weeks is like a minute and a half to this guy, but.

00:48:52.680 So the first thing I did when I got that was I, I tried to, I made sure that that wasn't going to happen.

00:49:00.880 I contacted the police department.

00:49:02.880 I said, is this something that's, you know, this could happen?

00:49:05.520 That's embarrassing right there.

00:49:07.220 Okay.

00:49:07.400 So your parents said, hey, you need to get out in about two weeks.

00:49:09.900 Okay.

00:49:10.820 So it goes to the police department.

00:49:12.720 Can this happen?

00:49:13.480 Can this happen?

00:49:14.740 Can they kick me out of their house within two weeks?

00:49:17.680 And they're like, no, you can, you just call us that they can't do that.

00:49:22.040 And I said, all right.

00:49:22.780 And I was like, all right.

00:49:23.640 Wait a minute.

00:49:24.720 Parents can't kick their kid out of their house.

00:49:27.520 Police can stop that.

00:49:28.660 I don't believe that.

00:49:30.040 I don't know.

00:49:30.900 Check that again.

00:49:31.840 Maybe that's a local law where you could stay with your parents indefinitely.

00:49:38.500 I don't know.

00:49:39.280 He's got maybe squatters rights.

00:49:41.000 Wow.

00:49:41.560 That's, that's amazing.

00:49:43.360 And I'm listening to you.

00:49:45.200 I really am, but let me just understand because I hear you and your parents giving you notices.

00:49:49.540 The fact that you were on national television talking about moving out of your parents' house.

00:49:54.480 You tell me you want to move out of your parents' house.

00:49:57.060 Move out.

00:49:57.520 Why don't you just move out of your parents' house like tomorrow? 0.98

00:50:03.160 I don't have the means to do that tomorrow.

00:50:06.480 Okay.

00:50:07.020 Do you have a job?

00:50:10.000 No.

00:50:11.520 No.

00:50:12.820 Well, here's a, here's a little helpful hint.

00:50:14.520 Maybe you cut your hair.

00:50:17.000 Now, should you have to do that?

00:50:20.660 We could debate that if you want.

00:50:23.300 Whether, whether shoulder length or, or middle of the back length, long hair on a man is detrimental to getting a job.

00:50:32.000 And whether it should be, we all know it is, but should it be?

00:50:36.400 Well, yeah.

00:50:36.940 If an employer wants you to cut your hair or does, you know, wants you to look a certain way, if you're going to be interacting with customers or clients or whatever, they can tell you to do that.

00:50:47.300 I mean, if you expect an employer to treat you like you can do anything you want, go be part of the NFL.

00:50:56.260 They'll let you have a beard and long hair.

00:50:58.220 Yeah, they will.

00:50:58.880 Well, and they sure will.

00:51:00.020 And you can, you can kneel down and you know what?

00:51:02.120 You can continue to live in your parents' house because you'll be gone a few months and during the year.

00:51:08.200 It's a good suggestion.

00:51:09.240 Thank you.

00:51:09.760 Yeah.

00:51:10.700 Apply at the NFL head office.

00:51:12.520 Thank you.

00:51:12.900 It's good.

00:51:14.040 I think you can fill out an application at NFL.com.

00:51:16.880 I like that.

00:51:17.320 I could be wrong.

00:51:17.820 Yeah.

00:51:18.200 Triple eight.

00:51:19.460 727 Beck.

00:51:20.580 Scott in Ohio.

00:51:22.020 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:51:23.040 Hi.

00:51:24.500 Hi.

00:51:25.080 Hi.

00:51:25.280 I was just about to spy gate with Trump.

00:51:30.840 Why is these FISA judges not having their feet held to the fire for accepting these lame applications for these FISA warrants?

00:51:45.540 Nobody never mentions about these judges.

00:51:48.420 If I was one of them judges, I'd be furious.

00:51:51.080 I'd, I'd, I'd call it back and say, Hey, you can, you can't use that no more.

00:51:57.060 I don't know if they can do that or not, but that's my, yeah.

00:52:02.080 I mean, we never talk about the FISA judges.

00:52:04.720 Uh, appreciate the call, Scott.

00:52:06.640 Um, and frankly, I, I don't know that much about the rules for the FISA judges because it's a special court.

00:52:13.240 It's a special thing that was set up to, to deal with, uh, terrorism.

00:52:17.440 Um, and normally when they set up special deals, those are good, those get set up because they do the things that the, uh, that the government officials like.

00:52:25.800 Exactly.

00:52:26.380 And, and they're normally extra constitutional or just outside of the constitution a little bit.

00:52:33.880 Is that, is that extra constitutional?

00:52:36.060 Uh huh.

00:52:36.720 Just outside of the constitution is extra constitutional?

00:52:39.860 Yes.

00:52:40.420 Gotcha.

00:52:40.920 Uh huh.

00:52:41.680 Uh, Mark in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

00:52:44.080 Uh, Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you about, uh, why Tom and Jerry is so popular in the Middle East.

00:52:51.360 Okay.

00:52:51.640 With like the, uh, the Supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.

00:52:55.200 Exactly.

00:52:55.860 Mm-hmm.

00:52:56.900 Um, it's, uh, when I was over there, uh, I learned this, I never even dreamed of it, but, uh, you know, cartoons that don't have any, uh, talking in them, you know, they don't have any dialogue.

00:53:08.560 Oh, yeah.

00:53:09.060 They don't need to translate them.

00:53:10.760 Right.

00:53:11.160 So, those cartoons are on, Tom and Jerry is on, like over in Iraq.

00:53:16.060 It was over, on all the time on TV.

00:53:18.300 It's like all they have to watch.

00:53:20.300 Yeah.

00:53:20.360 That's interesting.

00:53:21.060 Wow.

00:53:21.260 So, to him, that's probably a very hip reference.

00:53:24.820 Right.

00:53:25.600 Right.

00:53:26.600 Which, uh, thanks Mark.

00:53:29.120 That makes sense.

00:53:29.740 Which tells you how pathetic, uh, that country is.

00:53:34.260 Why?

00:53:35.100 Because I like Tom and Jerry?

00:53:37.040 Wow.

00:53:37.480 It's a 78-year-old cartoon.

00:53:41.180 Hello.

00:53:42.100 Is it really 78?

00:53:43.440 Yeah.

00:53:43.860 Wow.

00:53:44.540 Yeah.

00:53:44.880 78 years ago that came out.

00:53:46.380 Wow.

00:53:47.280 I think by the time you and I were growing up, that was.

00:53:49.700 It was already done.

00:53:50.680 Long into reruns.

00:53:51.960 Done.

00:53:57.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:53:59.940 It's Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn.

00:54:01.480 Triple eight.

00:54:02.200 Seven, two, seven.

00:54:03.260 Beck.

00:54:03.600 Uh, let's go to Charlie in Idaho.

00:54:07.780 Hey, Charlie.

00:54:08.300 You're on the Glenn Beck Program.

00:54:10.680 Hey, guys.

00:54:11.720 Sorry to call you so late.

00:54:13.800 Happy, happy Stormy Daniels Day.

00:54:16.220 Thank you.

00:54:17.240 Is it Stormy Daniels Day?

00:54:18.680 It can be.

00:54:19.580 I think, I think it was yesterday in Hollywood.

00:54:22.400 Oh, okay.

00:54:23.300 I think it was yesterday.

00:54:23.400 All right.

00:54:24.460 I missed the celebration.

00:54:25.980 Yeah.

00:54:26.200 But, my reason for calling is because, I don't know if you guys hear me yelling at the radio

00:54:32.060 constantly.

00:54:33.520 I was just telling Pat, I wish he would shut up.

00:54:36.900 I got a pretty loud voice.

00:54:40.300 But, you know, all this stuff started back when Donald Trump became the nominee.

00:54:46.380 And, people are not remembering that he was never going to become president.

00:54:53.300 Right.

00:54:53.740 Mm-hmm.

00:54:54.200 This was all, truthfully, Obama's revenge against Donald Trump.

00:55:01.320 And, when Hillary became president, this was the way all these investigations and all these

00:55:06.240 little plots, this was the way that Obama was going to get back at Trump and ruin his

00:55:11.160 name and his empire.

00:55:13.880 It had nothing to do with delegitimizing the president because he was never going to be

00:55:19.980 president.

00:55:20.760 Yeah.

00:55:20.840 They didn't believe so.

00:55:22.300 Yeah.

00:55:22.820 So, you believe they were spying on him so they could use something once Hillary became

00:55:27.800 president?

00:55:29.380 I mean, come on.

00:55:30.360 Obviously, Obama had, just like Trump can't stand Obama, Obama can't stand Trump.

00:55:36.420 Oh, I think that's true.

00:55:37.200 There's no way in the world.

00:55:38.380 There's no way in the world that all this stuff that was going on was not known by Obama.

00:55:43.680 And, nobody wants to call him out because he's the Messiah.

00:55:47.060 Right.

00:55:48.180 Appreciate it.

00:55:48.800 Thanks, Charlie.

00:55:49.360 That's a pretty good point.

00:55:50.860 Excellent point.

00:55:51.780 Definitely something to consider.

00:55:53.840 Danny in North Carolina.

00:55:55.700 Welcome.

00:55:57.980 Hello?

00:55:58.620 Hey, go ahead.

00:56:00.220 Yeah, I just wanted to comment on this 30-year-old idiot.

00:56:03.220 I ain't saying great things about me, but in 1975, I left home when I was 15 years old.

00:56:12.760 I went down to visit my dad in South Carolina from Virginia.

00:56:16.840 And next thing you know, I had a job and had a little small, little one-bedroom mobile home.

00:56:24.960 I was paying rent on going to work every day.

00:56:26.860 And, uh, I was always taught to work ethics and stuff.

00:56:32.920 I just can't understand today's society, how we've gotten so far.

00:56:36.720 I mean, we've had other things in, you know, like 60s, 70s, idiots.

00:56:40.620 But, like nowadays, if everybody's looking for something, give me this, give me that.

00:56:46.500 Definitely.

00:56:47.140 I've worked all my life.

00:56:48.800 I mean, I've worked since I was 13 years old.

00:56:50.900 And that's a fact.

00:56:52.640 And, uh, I just can't see any idiots sitting up here, how foolish he looks.

00:56:56.940 And, Lord, forgive me for saying that word.

00:56:58.700 But, uh, he's sitting here on national TV and trying to make himself look like he's.

00:57:03.380 I don't think he cares.

00:57:04.980 He's no, he's not a grown-up.

00:57:06.840 No.

00:57:07.140 He's a punk.

00:57:07.760 Yeah.

00:57:08.220 And he's got no shame.

00:57:09.920 Thanks, Danny.

00:57:10.340 No, that's a punk.

00:57:10.620 Because you can't do this if you have any shame.

00:57:13.340 No, you can't.

00:57:14.200 It's too embarrassing to you.

00:57:15.820 I mean, we talked yesterday.

00:57:16.680 I mean, we've all worked since we were, you know, 11, 12, 13 years old.

00:57:21.060 And it's just, it was just a thing.

00:57:23.220 You know what?

00:57:23.680 That's what you did.

00:57:24.620 And you wanted to be on your own so you didn't have the arm of your parents telling you,

00:57:31.640 uh, you know, when, when, when you can't go.

00:57:35.280 And obviously, he doesn't have that.

00:57:37.440 He just wants the comfort zone of the house.

00:57:40.360 Yeah.

00:57:40.780 And it still doesn't make any sense.

00:57:42.320 I mean, I would rather live in, as proven by, you know, life.

00:57:46.220 I would rather live in an apartment by myself with milk crates that have that.

00:57:51.140 Just too much entitlement now.

00:57:52.760 He believes he's entitled to live at his parents' house.

00:57:55.500 He's probably entitled to, uh, just sponge off his parents for the rest of his life.

00:58:01.260 Right.

00:58:01.660 Just, you know, and then he gets on.

00:58:03.020 Well, he said, yeah, I mean, I went to the police.

00:58:05.120 They can't do that, can they?

00:58:06.520 Are you kidding me?

00:58:07.920 This is so embarrassing.

00:58:09.980 Did the police say, look, uh, how old are you, kid?

00:58:13.440 Get out of here.

00:58:14.460 Uh, 30.

00:58:16.940 Okay.

00:58:17.600 Bye-bye.

00:58:18.520 Hanging up now.

00:58:20.500 Uh, Mike in Maine.

00:58:22.160 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:24.480 Hey, Jeff.

00:58:25.460 Nice talking with you.

00:58:26.900 You too.

00:58:28.100 I'm glad you're feeling a lot better.

00:58:30.680 Um, this 30-year-old guy, um, he should do what my parents did.

00:58:36.720 Just change the locks on the house.

00:58:39.160 His parents.

00:58:40.160 Just change the locks on the house.

00:58:41.840 He's got to go at some, at some point, go grocery shopping or something.

00:58:48.220 Yeah.

00:58:48.520 Uh, so your dad changed the locks on your house to keep you out or what?

00:58:55.940 Yeah, pretty much.

00:58:57.220 Wow.

00:58:57.780 Wow.

00:58:58.160 And so it was just, you just realized, oh, okay.

00:59:02.420 So.

00:59:03.300 No, at the time, the feelings were mutual.

00:59:05.520 I didn't want to be there and he didn't want me back.

00:59:07.600 Yeah.

00:59:08.000 Yeah.

00:59:08.260 Yeah.

00:59:08.300 So that's how it was to it.

00:59:10.060 Yeah.

00:59:10.260 It's apparently turned out okay, though.

00:59:12.300 You, you've handled it.

00:59:13.440 You dealt with it.

00:59:14.740 It's tough love.

00:59:15.840 Yeah.

00:59:16.320 Yeah.

00:59:16.580 It's all right.

00:59:17.140 It's all good.

00:59:17.880 Thanks, Mike.

00:59:18.980 Uh, this guy, though, uh, he, he claims that he doesn't want to be there.

00:59:24.440 He claims he'd rather be somewhere else, but he's making no effort.

00:59:28.360 Right.

00:59:28.700 Doesn't have a job.

00:59:29.960 Isn't working toward that.

00:59:31.520 You can guarantee that if they change the locks, he'd sleep on the porch until they let him in.

00:59:38.760 Guaranteed.

00:59:39.400 Definitely.

00:59:40.220 I think so, too.

00:59:40.980 Absolutely.

00:59:41.920 Or break in.

00:59:42.640 There's no way he, he, right.

00:59:44.360 Break a window and get in.

00:59:45.500 Thinking that his key doesn't, you know, something was wrong with the key.

00:59:47.580 It didn't work.

00:59:49.100 You have to fix that front window.

00:59:50.960 Uh, Joe in Ohio.

00:59:52.320 You're on the Glenn Beck program with that.

00:59:53.700 Hi.

00:59:53.740 Good morning.

00:59:54.240 Good morning, gentlemen.

00:59:54.960 Morning.

00:59:55.740 Uh, yeah, I wonder if Trump canceled the, uh, summit with North Korea so that he could avoid

01:00:01.220 any embarrassment if they canceled it first.

01:00:03.760 The same as, uh, when he uninvited the, uh, both state warriors to come out after their

01:00:08.360 championship when they were hemming and hawing about whether or not they would go, he just

01:00:12.340 went ahead and said, well, don't come at all.

01:00:16.040 Uh, yeah.

01:00:17.300 Yeah.

01:00:17.660 It's like the Steph Curry thing.

01:00:19.140 You're not invited anyway.

01:00:19.960 That's true.

01:00:20.500 I'm not going to go.

01:00:21.420 Well, you, we're, you're uninvited anyway.

01:00:24.840 And it might be something like that.

01:00:26.480 That's not a bad, that's not a bad call.

01:00:28.040 Yeah.

01:00:28.260 And you look, I kind of understand it.

01:00:30.220 I mean, I'm not, I'm not slamming him for that.

01:00:32.280 Even if that's true.

01:00:33.940 Um, before the, you know, pulling out first, because except that you would hope that it

01:00:41.960 would still take place.

01:00:42.960 Right.

01:00:43.260 So only if, if this is the, if that's the case, then you got to figure that we knew and

01:00:50.000 then, you know, we knew today that, uh, he was, Kim was going to pull out and they

01:00:56.580 might, right.

01:00:57.920 They might have, I mean, obviously they've got more information than we do.

01:01:00.700 So maybe it was just inevitable that this was going to happen.

01:01:03.020 So he, he did it first to the punch and that, you know, that's possible.

01:01:06.280 Yeah.

01:01:06.800 And he, well, he definitely would have tried to beat him to the punch either way.

01:01:10.240 You just got to hope that we already knew that it was a done deal.

01:01:13.080 Right.

01:01:13.740 Uh, David in Virginia, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:01:16.640 Hey guys, uh, I'm law enforcement here in Virginia.

01:01:19.520 And, um, I just wanted to pass a little bit of information on kind of a sad situation,

01:01:24.240 but, uh, in Virginia, that 30 year old would have some legal protection.

01:01:29.000 Uh, I don't really know where this is cause I'm not familiar with the story, but if, uh,

01:01:33.180 New York, New York.

01:01:35.200 Yeah.

01:01:35.480 So that Virginia being a commonwealth, it's got a little bit of a different circumstance because

01:01:39.940 we're case law.

01:01:40.780 And there's case law that establishes that if he's providing like groceries and, uh,

01:01:47.680 having some of his own property and stuff like that, and he's been there for a period

01:01:50.820 of time, uh, he's established residency and the parents have allowed it.

01:01:54.960 So the cops here for service.

01:01:59.860 Yeah, sort of.

01:02:00.780 Yeah.

01:02:01.100 We'd get that call for service and we'd have to hang our heads and tell the parents that

01:02:05.000 they've got to go through the eviction process on him, which, I mean, they just affords

01:02:09.120 them and him the illegal means to do it without getting fancy and they could just bounce him

01:02:15.080 out, but they have to do, do it through the courts and then spend the money, which is what

01:02:18.680 they did.

01:02:19.880 Right.

01:02:20.360 Well, and see, when we showed up, we would definitely be hanging our heads and looking

01:02:24.740 at him like he's a moron, but. 0.53

01:02:27.200 But there would be nothing you could do.

01:02:29.540 No, nothing.

01:02:30.440 Right.

01:02:30.660 And it's aggravating as hell.

01:02:32.120 And how long do they normally have?

01:02:33.380 Do they have, I mean, to get out once the eviction process starts?

01:02:37.660 How long do they have?

01:02:39.360 I don't know.

01:02:39.680 Once the court rules the eviction, he has, I believe it's 72 hours to remove his stuff.

01:02:45.520 And then if it's not done, they contact the sheriff's department and the sheriff's department

01:02:48.800 actually removes his stuff.

01:02:50.320 That's an interesting process.

01:02:51.940 It's that's when you drive past the house and you see people stuff in the lawn.

01:02:55.160 Yeah.

01:02:55.320 Just the big stuff out there.

01:02:56.440 Yeah.

01:02:56.920 Experience that.

01:02:57.840 Yeah.

01:02:57.980 Thanks, David.

01:02:58.660 In Texas, we have that too.

01:03:00.460 It's I think it is a squatter's law. 0.99

01:03:02.820 And in my neighborhood, we, there was when we first moved into it, there was.

01:03:08.580 A family that everybody in the neighborhood knew about and talked about that they hadn't

01:03:12.720 paid their mortgage in two years and they'd been, the bank was trying to get them out

01:03:18.940 and it took them over two years to get them out.

01:03:22.360 And then finally they got whatever judgment they needed to get.

01:03:26.060 And one day where you're driving through the neighborhood, heading, heading to home

01:03:29.960 and every single thing in the house was out on the lawn waiting for him.

01:03:36.660 Two years though.

01:03:37.480 Two years.

01:03:37.940 Yeah.

01:03:38.500 Two years.

01:03:38.860 They lived there for free.

01:03:41.000 And you got to believe never wound up making those payments.

01:03:45.160 No way.

01:03:45.760 Because the bank then took control of it and auctioned it off.

01:03:49.620 But it was interesting to drive past that house and see, you know, all the furniture,

01:03:54.900 all the clothes, absolutely everything they owned just piled up outside.

01:03:59.940 Sheriff's department must have come and just moved them out.

01:04:02.460 Bye-bye.

01:04:03.340 Bye-bye.

01:04:04.380 Change the locks.

01:04:05.520 Get out.

01:04:06.240 Right.

01:04:07.480 But, I mean, but yeah, they got two years out of it for free.

01:04:10.880 Right.

01:04:11.460 For free.

01:04:12.160 You think that they, if they were doing that, which kind of goes against common sense, but

01:04:19.460 if they were doing that, you'd think that they'd be smart enough to realize that time's

01:04:23.380 up and let's not have their stuff end up out on the curb, right?

01:04:26.880 Yeah.

01:04:27.720 Unless you're prepared for it.

01:04:28.880 And then you're just going to ride that all the way till it's on the lawn.

01:04:32.400 Then, okay, now we'll get a U-Haul and leave.

01:04:35.420 That's true.

01:04:36.040 I don't know.

01:04:36.840 That's true.

01:04:37.380 I mean, it's pretty amazing.

01:04:39.040 Again, no shame.

01:04:41.240 How do you just allow that to happen in your life?

01:04:46.120 I wouldn't, I couldn't deal with that chaos.

01:04:49.140 I couldn't deal with the uncertainty.

01:04:51.580 But maybe, you know, people who live that way are fine with it.

01:04:54.980 They're just, they're comfortable living in that environment.

01:04:57.480 That would, I'd have an ulcer.

01:04:59.680 I'd, I'd, I'd have a heart attack.

01:05:02.260 But you'd have a heart attack because, see, you would be actually trying to work out where

01:05:07.480 you were back paying it and keeping it.

01:05:09.780 Where's my family going to be?

01:05:11.040 Or are we going to move or whatever.

01:05:12.220 And, you know, they already know they're going to be here until their stuff's in the front

01:05:16.360 yard.

01:05:16.720 Then they'll find maybe some other abandoned house.

01:05:18.520 Right.

01:05:18.840 Move into that.

01:05:20.060 Maybe that's what they did.

01:05:21.240 I don't know.

01:05:22.640 888-727-BEC-CAM.

01:05:24.980 Wait a minute.

01:05:25.760 Is that all you got to do?

01:05:27.200 I think so.

01:05:28.180 I think that's about it.

01:05:29.180 Nice.

01:05:29.800 More of the Glenn Beck program coming up.

01:05:33.560 Glenn Beck.

01:06:06.820 ever done.

01:06:07.720 A lot of people are saying it.

01:06:09.100 I mean, you guys are.

01:06:10.060 Yeah.

01:06:10.300 Well, I'm not saying it, but a lot of guys are saying it.

01:06:12.840 You're saying it.

01:06:13.680 You've said it.

01:06:14.320 I have said it.

01:06:15.100 You know, and so.

01:06:15.860 I'm just teasing about it.

01:06:16.500 Who am I to argue with you?

01:06:18.380 I, I'm, so.

01:06:21.640 And by the way, we get you to work or home or wherever you're on your way with traffic

01:06:27.440 and weather together every five minutes on the fours.

01:06:29.860 That's what makes it.

01:06:30.980 That's, that's one of the things that makes the show.

01:06:33.620 So, uh, uh, we do that for you as a special added service and no matter where your local

01:06:40.640 market is, uh, 888-727-BECK.

01:06:43.900 Let's go to Al in Florida.

01:06:45.260 Al, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:06:46.700 Hi.

01:06:48.260 Good morning, gentlemen.

01:06:49.460 Uh, you know, I'm talking, you were talking about the NFL folks kneeling.

01:06:53.820 Well, when you go to church, you kneel down to honor who you're, who you're praying

01:06:59.880 to.

01:07:00.160 And you go, for the queen, you kneel down because you're honoring the queen.

01:07:04.560 Even when you make, you propose, you kneel down to your, to your sweetheart to propose

01:07:10.240 to her.

01:07:10.600 So these folks don't get it.

01:07:12.880 What they're doing is they're kneeling down when they're actually honoring the flag.

01:07:17.640 You know, I'm a Vietnam veteran and that hurts me so bad.

01:07:21.460 I'd like to go on the field and whack them all, but you know, I wish somebody would tell

01:07:26.020 them what they're actually doing.

01:07:27.620 Yeah.

01:07:28.000 Yeah.

01:07:28.260 Cause they, I mean, certainly they don't mean it that way.

01:07:30.460 No.

01:07:30.860 And, and, and I've, it's a sign of disrespect.

01:07:32.660 I've heard a couple, I've heard a couple of, uh, of arguments, uh, along those same

01:07:37.160 lines, uh, that you just had.

01:07:39.220 And, and they've all poo-pooed that because it's like, yeah, yeah, whatever. 0.61

01:07:43.640 It's not what we're doing.

01:07:45.740 So I don't, you know, you're not going to do, I mean, look there, they already know it's

01:07:50.640 affecting, uh, the way the fans look at them, look at their team, look at their product.

01:07:57.420 Think of their product and it doesn't matter to them.

01:08:00.900 So telling them that, that what they're doing is exactly opposite what they should be doing.

01:08:05.140 It's not going to matter to them.

01:08:06.480 Yeah, definitely.

01:08:07.660 Uh, Brad in Indiana, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:08:12.020 Hey guys, how you doing?

01:08:13.240 Good.

01:08:13.480 Hey, um, I'm a 30 year old.

01:08:16.740 I've heard a lot of parents calling in and, uh, you know, my folks were gracious enough

01:08:21.360 to allow me to live with them when I was going through the recession, right out of college,

01:08:25.300 working for my dad.

01:08:26.620 Um, he said it was part of a perk living in the basement, but, uh, the day I decided to

01:08:30.980 start moving, I haven't heard this option yet for this young man.

01:08:33.420 And, uh, I think it's New York is, uh, walls are a little thin.

01:08:36.940 Mom and dad have been married for about 29 years.

01:08:39.220 And, uh, you know, you might hear some things when you're trying to go to sleep at night.

01:08:42.680 So, um, that was about the moment I said, it's time to find a new job and get out of

01:08:45.900 the house.

01:08:46.340 So I figured that was another option for everybody.

01:08:48.520 Make it as uncomfortable as possible.

01:08:50.120 I guarantee that he would not care.

01:08:52.800 No, I don't think he would.

01:08:53.840 How old were you at the time, Brad, when you were staying with your parents?

01:08:56.680 I was, uh, about 24 and I was trying to work, uh, find a job.

01:09:00.960 It was a rough time out there for new college grads, but I was on my way and, uh, I'm

01:09:05.140 my way in the real world.

01:09:06.060 But that was kind of a triggering moment in my head.

01:09:08.200 Like I got to do something.

01:09:09.220 I understand.

01:09:09.700 But Brad, listen, the difference is the difference is, and I appreciate the call.

01:09:13.580 Thanks, Brad.

01:09:14.060 I appreciate it.

01:09:14.520 But the difference is, is that at no point during that process was Brad thinking, I'm

01:09:21.920 just going to stay.

01:09:22.560 Right.

01:09:22.740 I'm just going to, yeah, this is my long-term solution.

01:09:25.900 You're thinking short-term.

01:09:26.780 They're allowing me to live here so that I can get on my feet and get out.

01:09:30.600 Right.

01:09:30.940 On my own.

01:09:31.980 Right.

01:09:32.240 And you don't mind that as a parent.

01:09:33.420 Right.

01:09:33.880 Usually.

01:09:34.460 I would think.

01:09:34.960 888-727-BECK.

01:09:42.640 Glenn Beck.

01:09:44.560 Mercury.

01:09:49.500 Glenn Beck.

01:09:51.200 It's Pat Gray for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, along with Jeffy.

01:09:54.140 The big news that's breaking right now is that President Trump has canceled the North Korean

01:10:01.600 summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore.

01:10:04.780 It's too bad because, yeah, we had some serious hope for that.

01:10:08.640 Then maybe some progress could be made there.

01:10:11.720 Maybe peace could be obtained.

01:10:13.960 We wouldn't have to worry about that anymore.

01:10:15.260 I know.

01:10:16.520 I know.

01:10:16.900 I mean, I really wanted that.

01:10:18.180 Maybe you at least agree to end, officially end the Korean War. 0.85

01:10:24.860 Maybe you just start that healing process beginning on the Korean Peninsula.

01:10:29.320 That would have been nice.

01:10:31.500 Yeah, that would have been.

01:10:32.620 That would have been nice.

01:10:33.120 I don't know that, I mean, does South Korea even want that, really?

01:10:37.600 Oh, South Korea.

01:10:38.440 I think they've wanted that for a long time.

01:10:40.460 I don't know.

01:10:41.500 I think they do.

01:10:41.960 We still dump a lot of money into that economy, and we've helped them build quite a military,

01:10:47.240 but our military is still there, and the United States presence is still there strong.

01:10:52.500 They want to lose that.

01:10:53.980 And don't get me started on the presence in South Korea.

01:10:59.000 I have long been saying it's time to stop.

01:11:03.540 Get out.

01:11:04.120 Yeah.

01:11:04.380 I know.

01:11:05.220 For a while.

01:11:05.720 And I didn't bring it up because of that, but I know you have.

01:11:08.100 But I'm just saying they don't want our presence to go.

01:11:10.900 I don't think so.

01:11:11.880 I think most of them want us to stay.

01:11:14.180 Yeah.

01:11:14.560 That's what I mean.

01:11:15.380 I mean, maybe the regular citizenry says get out, but no way the government does.

01:11:22.640 Where I am on that stuff now is, you know, South Korea's got a powerful army.

01:11:26.880 It's like fourth or fifth biggest.

01:11:28.400 With our help.

01:11:29.000 Yeah.

01:11:29.300 It's fourth or fifth biggest in the world.

01:11:31.560 Okay.

01:11:31.920 Well, defend your country.

01:11:33.600 We'll see you later.

01:11:34.860 It's been a good 60, 65 years, but we're done.

01:11:38.600 Yeah, we're done.

01:11:39.000 And we're even going to.

01:11:40.680 We'll catch you later.

01:11:41.420 I know we left a lot of equipment in Vietnam, but we're going to take our stuff.

01:11:45.100 Yeah.

01:11:45.420 We're going to take our toys.

01:11:46.440 We're going to go home.

01:11:47.360 And I'd love it if we were less interventionist.

01:11:52.520 Yeah, I really would.

01:11:53.580 I think it's time.

01:11:54.600 Well, I mean, we're barely anywhere.

01:11:56.000 I don't know what you're talking about interventions.

01:11:57.540 We're barely anywhere.

01:11:58.820 We're on what?

01:12:00.980 We're on every continent.

01:12:01.920 Yeah, I don't know that we have troops stationed in Antarctica, but every other continent.

01:12:07.940 I bet we do.

01:12:08.620 We might.

01:12:09.180 Yeah, I believe we do.

01:12:10.480 I would.

01:12:10.940 I might.

01:12:11.580 There's no.

01:12:12.640 I would be surprised if the answer to that was we don't.

01:12:16.040 Yeah.

01:12:16.400 Well, you never know when there's going to be a penguin uprising there and you want to

01:12:20.380 be prepared for it.

01:12:21.340 I know you laugh, but remember that we just found out not long ago that the penguins

01:12:24.700 were like six or seven feet high.

01:12:26.620 Yeah, we did.

01:12:27.020 Some of them are really big.

01:12:28.720 Yeah.

01:12:29.020 They might start being born again that big.

01:12:32.120 And if that happens.

01:12:33.160 Yeah.

01:12:33.300 You don't want none of that.

01:12:34.300 Thank you.

01:12:34.720 You're going to wish the U.S. military was there.

01:12:36.520 Thank you.

01:12:39.400 But it would be nice to go back to our founder's original thinking.

01:12:44.600 Stay out of stuff.

01:12:46.040 It's just, you know.

01:12:47.060 Yeah, there's a thought.

01:12:47.820 Stay out of it.

01:12:48.580 But we could, we, I think, could benefit a lot from that thinking right now.

01:12:56.660 And then, you know, maybe we even protect our own borders with the 37,000 troops.

01:13:02.940 Just a thought.

01:13:05.360 I don't know.

01:13:06.620 Or maybe you just, some of those soldiers get to stay with their families for a while

01:13:11.760 at a base.

01:13:12.540 That might be nice as well.

01:13:14.300 Weird.

01:13:14.660 You know, here, in America, and not contributing to the economy of South Korea.

01:13:19.680 Right.

01:13:20.240 And Japan, and Germany, and wherever else.

01:13:24.320 We are all over the world, because we're everywhere.

01:13:26.680 We sure are.

01:13:27.400 We're in places that we didn't even know we were in.

01:13:30.540 Yeah.

01:13:30.960 And we recently found that out in Africa.

01:13:33.020 Yeah.

01:13:33.320 How many African countries are we in?

01:13:35.080 And in some cases, we're in skirmishes.

01:13:37.600 We're in battles.

01:13:38.760 We sure are.

01:13:39.320 And many of those were brought on during the Obama administration.

01:13:42.660 Yeah, there were.

01:13:43.940 Yes.

01:13:44.820 I mean, this is not just a Republican situation.

01:13:47.840 It's an American president situation.

01:13:50.900 Because as Glenn has talked many times about when he met with George W. Bush.

01:13:55.580 And Bush said, hey, don't worry so much about the next guy.

01:13:58.280 Because he'll find out what I found out.

01:14:01.020 Right.

01:14:01.140 And that's what we all have to do.

01:14:02.600 Essentially the same thing.

01:14:03.820 And that's what they do.

01:14:04.860 Essentially the same thing.

01:14:07.260 Because of the world situation and the circumstances we've created and been a part of for so long, we just continue to.

01:14:15.240 We have to.

01:14:15.940 And that's why we've been reluctantly surprised at the many things that President Trump has accomplished from his campaign promises.

01:14:26.420 Because so many of those campaign promises from very many campaigners have fallen through the cracks.

01:14:33.500 Because of that very thinking.

01:14:36.780 Yeah.

01:14:36.920 You know, they can't do it now.

01:14:38.920 Well, I really wanted to, but.

01:14:40.240 Can't.

01:14:41.060 Wish I could.

01:14:41.800 Yeah.

01:14:42.440 Look at the time.

01:14:43.340 Let's take a picture and get out of the Oval.

01:14:45.460 And that's what we do find.

01:14:46.740 At least as far.

01:14:47.580 When it comes to.

01:14:48.840 Certainly when it comes to foreign policy.

01:14:50.700 Yeah.

01:14:51.080 They have to act pretty much the same way.

01:14:52.820 And they do.

01:14:55.400 888727 back.

01:14:56.580 David Hogg.

01:14:57.660 Oh.

01:14:59.000 This guy is changing the world.

01:15:01.460 You just love it.

01:15:02.060 Don't you?

01:15:02.380 I do not.

01:15:02.900 I'd love to hear from him.

01:15:03.940 I do not.

01:15:05.420 Probably the most visible of the Parkland surviving activists.

01:15:09.020 He is calling for a die-in at Publix supermarkets tomorrow to protest their donation to gubernatorial

01:15:20.660 candidate Adam Putnam.

01:15:21.740 Adam Putnam.

01:15:22.420 Whom you know, right?

01:15:23.000 I do know Adam.

01:15:23.800 Good guy.

01:15:24.260 You want him to win the election.

01:15:25.300 I didn't realize that he was running for governor.

01:15:28.000 And I like Adam Putnam.

01:15:29.440 And he would be a good governor for the state of Florida, I believe.

01:15:32.680 Well, he has a pro-gun stance that gets him a top rating from the other.

01:15:36.780 Yeah, he's a gun guy.

01:15:38.320 His family, he was born in Florida.

01:15:40.620 He's a Florida boy.

01:15:41.780 They have a citrus farm in Bartow, Florida.

01:15:47.180 You really, no matter what size farm you have, when you're walking whatever fields you have,

01:15:54.440 you want to have some sort of weapon on you.

01:15:58.000 There are wild animals that you need to be safe from.

01:16:04.060 Can't you just reason with the animals when they come to eat you?

01:16:06.520 You could.

01:16:07.100 You could.

01:16:07.640 You may have your own personal die-in.

01:16:09.520 Yeah.

01:16:09.740 Maybe you try something different.

01:16:11.300 Maybe you don't kill for a change.

01:16:13.660 Maybe you don't have a gun.

01:16:15.120 Because the answer to animal violence is not more violence.

01:16:21.580 Have you attempted to talk to a snake?

01:16:26.000 Well, not for a while.

01:16:28.080 A gator?

01:16:29.460 Are you saying that's impossible?

01:16:31.160 Have you ever tried it?

01:16:32.700 Don't knock it until you've tried it.

01:16:34.000 Honestly, no, I've never tried it.

01:16:36.160 So, apparently, Publix Supermarkets supports Adam Putnam, and he's got a really high rating

01:16:42.320 from the NRA.

01:16:43.260 Yeah, he's been, I mean, and Publix is a great supermarket chain in Florida and the

01:16:48.840 South.

01:16:49.020 I mean, they're really good.

01:16:51.340 And my daughter and my wife miss shopping there.

01:16:55.060 You know, when we travel to Florida, it's always like, oh, we get to go to Publix.

01:16:57.680 But Adam has been, I mean, they've supported Adam Putnam since he was in the Florida State Legislature, since he was in the U.S. Congress for 10 years, and then he left Congress, the U.S. Congress, and came

01:17:09.460 back to Florida and became Agricultural Commissioner.

01:17:13.400 So, I mean, he's, you know, they've been behind him 100%, and they gave him the money that they

01:17:18.340 gave him, and David is upset that Publix is supporting Adam because of his gun rating.

01:17:23.540 And can you believe this?

01:17:24.320 So, he's got a great idea.

01:17:25.120 David Hogg now has.

01:17:26.580 Did you see how many Twitter followers he's got now?

01:17:28.820 It's easy enough to find out.

01:17:29.920 I don't know exactly.

01:17:30.760 I don't know the number.

01:17:31.600 It's a high school kid who started out probably with, what, 12 or 25 or 50 followers?

01:17:37.720 Yeah.

01:17:40.560 799,000 now.

01:17:42.120 Almost 800,000 followers.

01:17:43.740 And he was immediately verified.

01:17:46.320 Oh, was he?

01:17:46.980 He immediately, as soon as they started talking to him at Parkland, he was, I mean, he immediately

01:17:51.620 got the blue check from Twitter, yeah.

01:17:53.200 So, he's telling all his Twitter followers that they should do a die-in at Publix stores.

01:17:57.820 And if you're not in the one at Florida that he's talking about, then do it wherever you

01:18:02.440 have a Publix.

01:18:03.220 Starting at 4 p.m. inside the two Publix stores, because he's got two in his neighborhood

01:18:07.580 around Parkland High School.

01:18:09.280 Go in and lie down starting at 4.

01:18:12.120 Feel free to die in with us at many other Publix as possible.

01:18:15.860 You know, I responded to, I actually responded to his tweet, which I usually let David tweets

01:18:22.860 go, but it ticked me off with this.

01:18:24.900 Yeah, it's so irritating.

01:18:27.000 It'll get a lot of people on your side that are shopping for going into the holiday weekend

01:18:31.120 on Friday afternoon.

01:18:32.280 Let's go ahead and clog that up, David.

01:18:34.200 That was good thinking.

01:18:35.120 Let's do that.

01:18:35.720 They'll be on your side then.

01:18:36.980 That's what leftists do, though.

01:18:38.460 Leftists, they don't care who's inconvenienced.

01:18:41.980 They don't care who's put out.

01:18:43.220 They don't care who's hurt.

01:18:44.820 They just want to make their statement.

01:18:46.780 I'll never forget when janitors went on strike in Houston.

01:18:51.420 This is about 10, 12 years ago.

01:18:55.060 SEIU came down from Chicago with a bunch of their members to help out in their protest.

01:19:01.580 Oh, they didn't come down to help out to pick up garbage?

01:19:03.420 No, no, they didn't.

01:19:05.100 In fact, there was a big strike and garbage didn't get picked up at a lot of buildings

01:19:09.740 in Houston for a while.

01:19:11.480 And so what they did instead was they drove into some of the most traffic-congested intersections

01:19:19.880 and dumped garbage into the middle of the street.

01:19:24.780 That wins people over.

01:19:26.400 Oh, did we love them then?

01:19:28.280 Right.

01:19:28.960 Oh, was I on the janitor's side then?

01:19:31.200 Right.

01:19:31.920 Oh, my God.

01:19:32.500 I can't tell you how much I loved them.

01:19:34.460 I was all about the janitors for justice.

01:19:38.660 I bet you were.

01:19:39.540 When they started dumping garbage in front of me in the streets of Houston and impeding

01:19:46.320 my way to work.

01:19:48.300 I loved it.

01:19:49.820 No matter where, impeding where you want to go.

01:19:51.940 Exactly.

01:19:52.080 That was the whole point of the Black Lives Matter marching, marching on interstates and

01:19:56.940 blocking roads, right?

01:19:58.000 It was, no, that's fine.

01:19:59.620 You're not helping your cause.

01:20:00.500 Not at all.

01:20:01.460 Not at all.

01:20:02.220 And going into public supermarkets tomorrow and laying there in the aisles and getting

01:20:07.060 in the way of shoppers and their carts, that's not going to help.

01:20:09.980 No.

01:20:10.580 No.

01:20:11.260 Nobody's going to like that.

01:20:12.280 And you're not going to win over anybody that way.

01:20:14.420 And David would probably pick another store, but Publix is known for being so clean.

01:20:19.140 He's able to, oh, I can lay down on that floor and not get dirty.

01:20:23.240 So, I mean, it's agonizing.

01:20:24.780 It is.

01:20:25.180 It's agonizing.

01:20:26.080 It is.

01:20:26.440 And I want Publix to double down.

01:20:28.340 I don't want them to back out.

01:20:29.340 I want them to give Adam more money.

01:20:32.140 Yeah.

01:20:33.160 I mean, I do too.

01:20:33.980 I don't even know Adam.

01:20:35.120 And I want them to give him more money.

01:20:38.000 Because this just pisses me off.

01:20:39.720 I know.

01:20:40.200 888-727-BECK.

01:20:47.700 Pat Gray and Jeffy for Glenn this week.

01:20:51.180 888-727-BECK.

01:20:54.760 Is there a phone number?

01:20:55.280 Uh, let's go to Staff Sergeant.

01:21:01.000 We've got a Staff Sergeant on.

01:21:02.660 Staff Sergeant who, though?

01:21:04.100 It doesn't say.

01:21:05.540 There's not enough room on the name area.

01:21:08.920 Staff Sergeant Don, did you say?

01:21:11.440 Tom.

01:21:12.020 Staff Sergeant Tom.

01:21:12.920 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

01:21:15.260 Yeah.

01:21:15.560 Hi.

01:21:15.880 I just want to weigh in on these protests.

01:21:19.420 The NFL, kneeling down.

01:21:21.640 I've been listening to Sports Talk Radio last few days, different national shows.

01:21:26.440 And they all seem to be in support.

01:21:29.560 And, you know, they keep saying, well, you know, it's just they're protesting, you know, national issues.

01:21:35.320 Well, I would like to have them see it from my perspective.

01:21:39.020 I'm ex-military, and I attended three funerals at Arlington National Cemetery back in the first Gulf War, people that I knew that were lost in the cause.

01:21:50.020 And I would want to see if Colin Kaepernick attended one of those funerals and heard the national anthem played and then taps.

01:21:57.840 Could he still have the guts to kneel down?

01:22:01.140 If he did, that would be totally, you know, disrespectful, no matter what his cause is.

01:22:08.680 Because when I hear the national anthem, you can't help but get choked up, thinking back to that time at Arlington National Cemetery when you watched three of your buddies get buried.

01:22:19.520 Yeah.

01:22:20.200 Appreciate it.

01:22:21.100 Thanks, Tom.

01:22:22.040 No kidding.

01:22:22.340 And thank you for your service.

01:22:24.900 And that's a point that seems to be lost on him.

01:22:27.240 Of course, they say, anytime that's brought up, it's not about that.

01:22:30.600 We honored the military.

01:22:31.800 We're all about the military.

01:22:34.140 Yeah, but you can't, see, you can't disrespect the national anthem and then say that.

01:22:39.200 Right.

01:22:40.100 Because our veterans don't buy that.

01:22:41.640 It's all tied into it.

01:22:42.060 As you just heard, it's all tied in.

01:22:44.280 And again, go back to what Colin Kaepernick, the founder of this movement, what he said in the first place.

01:22:51.500 And that was that it was about the country and it was about the flag.

01:22:54.520 And it was about the anthem.

01:22:56.100 Yes, it is, he said.

01:22:57.480 Yes.

01:22:58.280 So.

01:22:59.460 Which is it?

01:23:00.200 Anybody who says it isn't is lying or they don't understand what the movement is about.

01:23:05.780 And we mentioned earlier, too, he's right.

01:23:07.700 The sportscasters and, you know, we talked about listening to the ESPN and the Fox Sports.

01:23:12.580 They're all liberals.

01:23:13.500 All of them.

01:23:13.880 All for it.

01:23:14.860 Yep.

01:23:15.240 I can't believe it.

01:23:16.460 It's agonizing.

01:23:17.740 I can't listen to it.

01:23:19.220 When they start into this stuff, I have to turn the channel.

01:23:21.320 How do they see, I mean, if sports, if NFL starts to fall a little bit more than it has, and granted, they're up there on a pretty sturdy mountain.

01:23:31.160 So it's going to take a while.

01:23:32.540 You're not going to, you know, you're not knocking them off the hill right now.

01:23:35.980 But if it starts to slip a little bit, there's not going to be the need for you sportscasters.

01:23:41.640 Yeah.

01:23:42.340 All talking NFL 24-7 because nobody cares.

01:23:45.920 And the problem is, like you said, that's quite a ways down the road.

01:23:51.360 I know.

01:23:51.940 Because everybody loves the NFL.

01:23:53.460 Right.

01:23:54.220 Everybody loves football.

01:23:56.640 I know.

01:23:56.860 Looks forward to football season.

01:23:59.180 And the escape that we're supposed to get from it.

01:24:02.360 I'm guilty.

01:24:03.180 I'm guilty of that.

01:24:04.040 Except that I'm not guilty of, I am guilty of giving up a little.

01:24:08.400 You know, I mean, I have given up a little.

01:24:10.600 And, you know, I pick and choose my games carefully.

01:24:13.960 Yeah.

01:24:14.400 And I pick and choose when I watch it, you know, because I try to miss the very beginning.

01:24:18.680 Because I don't care.

01:24:19.480 I don't want to hear it.

01:24:20.320 I don't want to see it.

01:24:21.400 Right.

01:24:22.260 Right.

01:24:23.400 I don't want to hear the announcers comment on it.

01:24:26.100 I don't.

01:24:26.600 I don't want to hear their support for it.

01:24:28.820 I'll watch it with the sound down.

01:24:30.480 I'll watch it with the sound down, really.

01:24:32.380 A lot of times I do.

01:24:33.500 I'd rather watch it with the sound down.

01:24:35.200 It makes you miss the days of Pat Summerall and John Madden, who never commented about political stuff.

01:24:41.660 They talked about the game.

01:24:42.440 The game.

01:24:42.600 The football.

01:24:43.000 The X's and O's.

01:24:43.720 The game.

01:24:43.900 The play.

01:24:44.400 The players.

01:24:44.820 What's going on?

01:24:46.200 The game.

01:24:46.920 Thank you.

01:24:48.220 Steven.

01:24:49.660 In Los Angeles or Louisiana?

01:24:52.980 Which is it?

01:24:53.680 Louisiana.

01:24:55.620 Louisiana?

01:24:56.580 Okay.

01:24:57.120 Yes, sir.

01:24:57.640 Welcome.

01:24:59.220 Thank you, man.

01:25:00.820 I just wanted to touch base with you.

01:25:02.720 Get your opinion and your thought.

01:25:04.680 Okay.

01:25:05.220 See, my mom's on a fixed income. 0.95

01:25:07.200 And I live with her now.

01:25:08.660 I'm 37 years old.

01:25:10.400 She was about to be evicted out of her house.

01:25:12.820 So, I had to leave my house and everything, all my stuff, and move in with her.

01:25:17.280 You know, I have a full-time job.

01:25:18.860 I've been out the house since I was 16.

01:25:21.020 Yeah.

01:25:21.740 So, I'm trying to, you know.

01:25:23.500 Big difference.

01:25:24.160 It's a tough situation.

01:25:25.260 Yeah.

01:25:25.480 Yeah, you're there to help your mom.

01:25:27.860 That's a completely different situation.

01:25:29.640 Yeah, that's not the kind of thing we're talking about.

01:25:31.880 Thanks for the call, Steven.

01:25:32.700 I'm glad you brought that up.

01:25:33.780 I know.

01:25:34.460 Because we mentioned yesterday, there's exceptions to all these rules.

01:25:38.180 And you're one of the exceptions.

01:25:39.440 Yes.

01:25:39.760 If you're there to take care of your mom or your parents, a completely different situation

01:25:45.160 than a 30-year-old guy who's just there sponging off.

01:25:48.720 A totally healthy 30-year-old sponging off his parents.

01:25:51.900 And it is understandable that from time to time where instead of the parent moving in

01:25:57.100 with you, you would move in with them because they're comfortable and they're at their place

01:26:02.820 and that's their place and you're going to take care of them.

01:26:06.720 Why exactly are you saying it like that?

01:26:09.140 I don't know.

01:26:09.560 Like it's something you're irritated with.

01:26:14.220 It's just the way it happens.

01:26:15.460 What do you mean?

01:26:17.140 What's happened, Jeff?

01:26:18.200 If it doesn't happen, then what happens is that they move in with you.

01:26:22.120 And it moves in.

01:26:23.620 Has someone moved in with you?

01:26:25.260 And then you've got to take care of them and you give them their own space, but then

01:26:29.660 they want a different space.

01:26:31.900 They can't be upstairs because you can't walk the stairs.

01:26:35.240 You've got to be downstairs.

01:26:36.780 Sounds like pretty specific examples.

01:26:39.260 I just have off the top of my head.

01:26:41.560 Really?

01:26:42.000 Yes, off the top of my head.

01:26:43.180 So you're not talking about any specific circumstance.

01:26:46.560 You're just...

01:26:47.000 I don't know, just the people.

01:26:48.100 Sometimes it happens to you.

01:26:49.480 Just generally speaking.

01:26:50.620 Yes.

01:26:50.840 What are you going to do?

01:26:51.640 Say no and kick them out on the street?

01:26:54.880 No.

01:26:55.360 Probably not.

01:26:55.880 No, you can't do that.

01:26:57.020 Can't do that.

01:26:58.000 Can't do that.

01:26:58.720 Can't do that.

01:27:00.360 And what, you know, let's say you had...

01:27:02.240 But I mean, let's say...

01:27:03.660 How long a period of time are you generally speaking of?

01:27:06.140 Let's say these parents had more than one child.

01:27:09.860 And only the one child is worthy of...

01:27:14.180 Taking care of them?

01:27:14.620 Being able to take care of them.

01:27:15.780 Yeah.

01:27:16.100 Because of her husband and stuff like that. 0.98

01:27:22.320 Again, this sounds kind of specific.

01:27:23.700 No, I'm just thinking of someone just off the top of my head.

01:27:26.220 Now, how long would this situation have been going on in general?

01:27:29.360 I don't know.

01:27:29.380 I mean, generally speaking.

01:27:30.720 What?

01:27:31.540 Eight, nine years?

01:27:37.180 Something like that.

01:27:38.500 Really?

01:27:39.000 Okay.

01:27:39.660 Yeah.

01:27:40.080 But I mean, again, it's just hypothetical that you're just thrown out there.

01:27:43.720 It wouldn't be good, though.

01:27:44.540 Well, the good thing is, is like if you were to move, say, to another state and you had

01:27:48.960 a place to stay in the state you were moving from, instead of getting rid of that place,

01:27:52.340 you'd just, you know, they'd just stay there.

01:27:55.160 Why wouldn't they do that?

01:27:57.100 But they wouldn't, right?

01:27:58.660 In this particular scenario?

01:28:00.000 In this scenario, they would.

01:28:04.100 Huh.

01:28:05.280 That's interesting.

01:28:06.240 It sounds really...

01:28:06.540 It's interesting.

01:28:07.240 I don't know what made me think of it.

01:28:08.480 Very, very specific for a generalized circumstance that you're just blurting out off the top of

01:28:15.040 your head.

01:28:15.980 It does happen.

01:28:16.440 It does happen, yeah.

01:28:16.880 It does happen, and you have to, those are the issues that you have to deal with, and

01:28:20.460 that's part of life.

01:28:21.280 I get it.

01:28:21.880 But this guy, the 30-year-old, the specific guy that we're talking about, and others that

01:28:26.160 we heard about yesterday, there's something missing in the psyche of wanting to be an

01:28:32.600 individual, living in America, out on your own.

01:28:35.940 Being independent.

01:28:36.800 Yes.

01:28:37.100 When you're a 30-year-old man, yeah, something's a little off there.

01:28:46.380 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:28:48.760 With Pat and Jeffy this week.

01:28:52.240 Nancy Pelosi was speaking about, well, I'm not really sure what she was speaking about.

01:28:57.980 She did get the question asked.

01:29:00.240 Yeah.

01:29:01.080 So there was a specific answer that was supposed to be answered.

01:29:04.880 Right.

01:29:05.220 But she was speaking initially, well, that she was asked about the age of some of these

01:29:11.360 elected officials.

01:29:13.280 And here's kind of what it turned into.

01:29:18.220 Isn't it time for some members to return to private service and to encourage younger folks

01:29:23.920 to run for office?

01:29:26.000 Yeah.

01:29:26.360 Should I take that personally?

01:29:34.520 Yes.

01:29:35.120 Yes.

01:29:35.520 Yes, Nancy, you should.

01:29:37.520 Yes, you should.

01:29:38.120 You should take that incredibly personally.

01:29:40.700 And get out! 1.00

01:29:43.280 Get out! 0.98

01:29:47.840 Let me say this.

01:29:49.860 Okay.

01:29:50.360 Two things.

01:29:51.300 First of all, what I said earlier about money and politics.

01:29:54.820 If you reduce the role of money in politics and increase the level of civility in politics,

01:30:01.240 you will elect more women, more young people, more people of color to elect them all.

01:30:08.360 And nothing is more wholesome than that.

01:30:11.240 Okay, so nothing is more wholesome than electing people of color, women, and young people.

01:30:19.940 I guess it's not wholesome to elect people with experience.

01:30:24.740 That's not wholesome.

01:30:25.640 That's not wholesome.

01:30:26.240 The fact is that Congress has a seniority system.

01:30:29.060 So people in different regions want to make sure that the people who represent them are in

01:30:34.460 a senior position to help express their views, the concerns of their region.

01:30:40.960 That wasn't the question.

01:30:41.600 But I'll take it personally and say that as a woman who came to Congress later because I raised

01:30:46.400 my five children before I decided to accept the opportunity to run for Congress.

01:30:52.240 So lots of times women are a bit older because they have been raising their children. 1.00

01:30:56.780 Now I'm happy because lots of young people, young women are running with young children

01:31:02.140 and we're trying to make it as family friendly as possible.

01:31:06.460 But I don't think, for me, I don't think age has that much to do with it.

01:31:10.060 I think it's about, and especially as a woman, I want women to know that whether they're going

01:31:17.780 from college to Congress, well, they can't really do that, but 25 years old to Congress,

01:31:24.040 or in my case, from the kitchen to Congress after my kids were grown, that whatever you're

01:31:30.340 bringing, it's new and fresh and different because you're a woman. 0.92

01:31:34.200 And that is with all the respect in the world for our male colleagues, but the important

01:31:37.720 thing is to have the mix at the table, at the table.

01:31:41.820 At the table.

01:31:42.300 So I think that, again, the whole, as I said to you earlier, the whole environment is changing.

01:31:51.160 She's still talking?

01:31:51.740 These young people are registering kids, 17 years old, who are not even quite old enough

01:31:56.640 to vote, but will be by the time of the election.

01:31:58.560 The women march, and now they're running. 1.00

01:32:01.780 And now they're running.

01:32:02.880 And so there's a whole, people say to me, how are you going to use all that tennis?

01:32:06.760 At the table.

01:32:07.540 And now they're running.

01:32:08.540 Now they're running.

01:32:09.180 At the table.

01:32:10.780 At the table.

01:32:12.260 And now they're running.

01:32:13.180 How are they going to use us?

01:32:15.860 How are we going to incorporate their fresh enthusiasm?

01:32:19.980 I've never seen mobilization like it.

01:32:22.780 And everybody has to justify their existence to their constituents.

01:32:26.640 And that's the democratic way.

01:32:28.840 But again.

01:32:31.040 Again.

01:32:32.020 Answer the question, though.

01:32:33.080 Some members come to Congress older and they're newer.

01:32:36.000 Some people have been there 20 years and they're younger, but they just got a younger start.

01:32:41.060 So anyway, that is all to say, we want to take the talent, the experience, the values where they are.

01:32:47.980 So that's all to say that I've been rambling for three minutes and saying absolutely nothing, except for the fact that I've got no intention of ever getting out of office.

01:32:57.620 No way.

01:32:57.980 I'm going to die in this office.

01:32:59.600 I'm 78 years old and I'm continuing to babble on endlessly about how, no, I've got no intention of ever stopping.

01:33:09.720 And there are no term limits.

01:33:12.020 Do I want a young person to take my job? 1.00

01:33:14.600 No.

01:33:16.120 No.

01:33:16.440 And by the way, she may have gotten a late start after her children were raised. 0.66

01:33:22.940 She's still been there for a thousand years.

01:33:24.780 Not a chance Nancy Pelosi came from the kitchen to Congress the way she means it. 1.00

01:33:31.340 No.

01:33:31.700 Not a chance.

01:33:33.160 I'm sorry.

01:33:33.920 I don't buy it.

01:33:34.720 And she came later in life.

01:33:36.160 She has, I mean, it seems like she's always been in office.

01:33:42.360 It sure does.

01:33:43.020 So, I mean, does it say later in life, is that 30?

01:33:48.940 Is that 35?

01:33:50.960 If she had five kids, you know, she's probably started at what? 0.97

01:33:56.080 14?

01:33:57.340 Yeah.

01:33:57.960 I don't know.

01:33:58.820 I don't know either.

01:33:59.780 But she's been, uh, she's been a representative since 1987.

01:34:06.920 Oh, yeah.

01:34:07.300 I mean, look.

01:34:07.800 She came in later in life.

01:34:09.420 Later in life.

01:34:09.900 From the kitchen to Congress.

01:34:11.220 You know, from the kitchen to Congress.

01:34:12.340 After her kids were born.

01:34:13.360 After her kids were completely raised.

01:34:15.360 I had five kids.

01:34:16.240 I had five kids I had to take care of.

01:34:18.060 Wow.

01:34:18.460 So, uh, that's, again, the rambling, the repetition of phrases and words.

01:34:29.180 I mean, she did sound, she did sound that she could have possibly been fully medicated last night.

01:34:34.380 So, everything was, I mean, that's about as coherent as she's sounded in quite some time.

01:34:38.660 And that wasn't much.

01:34:39.860 No.

01:34:40.240 I mean, she's just rambling.

01:34:41.620 Yeah.

01:34:41.880 Uh, 888-727-BECK.

01:34:44.200 Let's go to Garrett.

01:34:45.080 Uh, Garrett, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:34:46.580 Hi.

01:34:48.380 Hey, how's it going?

01:34:49.480 It's nice to talk to you guys this morning.

01:34:50.900 You too.

01:34:52.340 Okay, so, um, basically, I just wanted to address the whole, uh, you know, the Parklands, you know, David Hogg type situation.

01:34:59.780 And, uh, kind of tie it together with some of the other left-wing pushes that are out there.

01:35:04.240 Mm-hmm.

01:35:04.520 Um, in the past, I know that Glenn has denounced the Bundy Ranch protesters for protesting idiotically the idiotic behaviors of the BLM.

01:35:13.580 That's right.

01:35:13.980 Um, but what, what is the flashpoint?

01:35:16.680 Because right now, we do have, uh, congressional representatives openly advocating for gun confiscations and buybacks of, quote, unquote, assault weapons.

01:35:25.660 We've got former Supreme Court justices arguing for the repeal of the Second Amendment.

01:35:29.880 Yeah.

01:35:30.000 Um, the, the, you know, the left always has that point where they're willing to use violence.

01:35:36.480 And they have, you know, in the Civil War, once, you know, Abraham Lincoln was elected, they attacked Fort Sumter.

01:35:42.340 And that triggered it.

01:35:43.220 You know, that was our tipping point, where we stepped in and said, all right, slavery's going bye-bye now, and we're going to do it by force.

01:35:49.660 Mm-hmm.

01:35:49.860 So, I mean, with all of the rights that are being violated right now, I mean, it's, you know, look at Planned Parenthood.

01:35:56.140 It's a, that's Jim Crow, that's a eugenicist agenda that is being carried out to the tune of tens of millions of lives lost.

01:36:04.020 And so, I mean, I understand that it's never good to advocate for violence, but in your opinion, is there ever a point at which we use the Second Amendment for what it's designed for?

01:36:15.660 Is there ever a point?

01:36:16.960 I mean, it's a, thanks for the call, Garrett.

01:36:19.100 It's a, it's a hard question.

01:36:20.800 It sure is.

01:36:21.200 Uh, I, the answer is obviously yes, there is, there is a point.

01:36:26.220 We're not there.

01:36:26.840 Not even, I don't think we're close to that, no.

01:36:29.360 And what we forget about, with our founders, is that, uh, it took them a long time to get to that point as well.

01:36:36.700 They didn't jump immediately to that point and take up arms against Britain.

01:36:41.000 It took a long time.

01:36:43.140 And a lot of grievances.

01:36:45.460 And.

01:36:46.280 Many do forget that.

01:36:47.660 Yeah.

01:36:47.860 Including myself.

01:36:48.520 I mean, that's something you don't think about often, and it took them a long time to get there.

01:36:52.540 And it should take us longer because they were doing it all without representation.

01:36:57.380 We have representation.

01:36:58.560 So there's another big difference between us and the founders.

01:37:02.120 We're supposed to handle this through our representation.

01:37:04.840 And when they don't handle it the way we want, we get new representation.

01:37:09.520 Right.

01:37:10.080 It's our fault that we haven't done that.

01:37:11.660 It's our fault that we never do that.

01:37:13.160 And it's our fault that we keep electing the same morons we've elected for 30 or 40 or 50 years.

01:37:18.640 I mean, that's the argument, the term limit argument as well.

01:37:20.700 Yeah.

01:37:21.980 I'd love to see term limits, though.

01:37:23.620 Love to see that happen.

01:37:24.960 Um, I think there's a couple of different things that could save this country.

01:37:27.980 One of them is term limits.

01:37:29.160 And the other is, uh, get people out of Washington, put them in their district and legislate from your district.

01:37:34.500 Could not agree more on that.

01:37:35.540 No more meeting at the Capitol building in Washington.

01:37:38.180 You have to stay and conduct all business of Congress in your district online.

01:37:45.160 Yeah.

01:37:45.820 That's how you connect with the rest of Congress.

01:37:48.300 Online.

01:37:48.820 I mean, I'm even willing to give them, uh, you know, a week, a year in D.C.

01:37:53.180 Sure.

01:37:53.200 You could, you could arrange something like that once or twice a year, whatever.

01:37:56.840 But most of the time.

01:37:58.160 Absolutely.

01:37:58.720 You're right there with your constituents.

01:37:59.920 Face the people that put you in office.

01:38:00.360 And you face them all the time.

01:38:03.320 You don't worry about.

01:38:03.940 You're not facing the lobbyists.

01:38:05.200 Right.

01:38:05.740 You're facing your constituents who put you there.

01:38:08.100 And you're not wheeling and dealing with Mitch down the hall for three hours.

01:38:12.220 That is the, I think that's the most effective change we could make.

01:38:16.480 Get them home.

01:38:17.480 Put them in their district.

01:38:18.580 That's where you do your legislating.

01:38:21.000 That'd be, I mean, that, I think that fixes a lot of ills.

01:38:25.280 Uh, Ken in Pennsylvania, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

01:38:27.980 Hi.

01:38:28.460 Hey.

01:38:28.800 I'll get right to my point.

01:38:29.960 You, you had nailed it on the head earlier talking about that kid living with his parents.

01:38:32.860 Mm-hmm.

01:38:33.380 A lot of that comes back to, we've now had an entire generation, almost two, that literally

01:38:38.580 were raised with no shame.

01:38:40.440 Mm-hmm.

01:38:40.640 That's a big part of it.

01:38:41.800 That is one of the flaws.

01:38:43.340 The others are things like no moral compass, no personal responsibility, and no coping mechanisms.

01:38:49.560 And a lot of the problems, school shootings, that guy living with his parents, the NFL protests,

01:38:54.860 a lot of you can trace back to one of those things.

01:38:58.140 Because basically, people are being raised, and they don't have any sense of right or wrong

01:39:02.660 or values, or that they themselves are in the wrong.

01:39:05.400 It's always somebody else's fault.

01:39:07.400 Yep.

01:39:07.620 And they were raised, because of, like, participation trophies and everything, they have no means

01:39:11.980 to deal with it.

01:39:12.540 Not that I'm an advocate of bullying or anything, but still, it kind of teaches you that life

01:39:17.420 lesson that you have to deal with it.

01:39:19.440 Buck up and, you know, move on.

01:39:21.260 But now, they can't do that anymore.

01:39:23.580 And we end up with things like the shootings.

01:39:25.660 I think that's a big part of it.

01:39:28.580 I really do.

01:39:29.480 Thanks, Ken.

01:39:30.220 Keith in Texas, welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:39:33.600 Hey, thanks.

01:39:34.660 Thank you, Saul.

01:39:35.880 Right to the point, you got a eunuch 30-year-old snowflake that has a kid, buys his own groceries,

01:39:45.660 gets a lawyer, and does not have a job.

01:39:49.120 Where does he get the money?

01:39:51.280 Good question.

01:39:52.680 Probably from his parents.

01:39:53.820 Yeah.

01:39:54.100 He was wrong.

01:39:55.920 Yeah.

01:39:57.480 Thanks, Keith.

01:39:58.240 I'll bet he gets his money for his lawyer from his parents.

01:40:01.340 I bet he does, too.

01:40:02.400 So pathetic.

01:40:03.580 So sad.

01:40:04.640 888-727-BECK.

01:40:09.040 Wow, this is some breaking news.

01:40:13.040 Morgan Freeman is now being accused of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, by eight

01:40:19.800 women. 0.81

01:40:20.900 Is there nothing sacred?

01:40:22.400 Apparently not.

01:40:25.280 Apparently not.

01:40:26.100 I mean, Morgan Freeman is a big fish, right?

01:40:29.040 Oh, yeah.

01:40:29.900 That's a big star.

01:40:29.980 I mean, I know Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby and what's-his-face, Kevin Spacey, right?

01:40:37.380 Yep.

01:40:37.580 But Freeman's a big fish, man.

01:40:39.840 Yeah, he is.

01:40:40.160 That guy's got a lot of money.

01:40:41.740 He's a big star.

01:40:42.440 And he's absolutely revered by the Hollywood left.

01:40:46.420 Superstar.

01:40:46.660 I mean, he's-

01:40:47.000 They love him.

01:40:47.840 Everybody, I don't know of anyone that doesn't like him.

01:40:51.360 Young production assistant thought she had landed the job of her dreams when, in the summer

01:40:56.060 of 2015, she started working on Going in Style, a bank heist comedy starring Morgan Freeman,

01:41:01.640 Michael Caine, and Ellen Arkin.

01:41:02.700 Yeah, I watched.

01:41:03.060 It was cute.

01:41:04.320 You liked it?

01:41:04.800 Yeah.

01:41:05.720 But the job quickly devolved into several months of harassment, she told CNN.

01:41:09.800 She alleges that Freeman subjected her to unwanted touching and comments about her figure and

01:41:16.480 clothing on a near daily basis.

01:41:18.860 Freeman would rest his hand on her lower back or rub her lower back.

01:41:23.440 In one incident, she said, Freeman kept trying to lift up my skirt and asking if I was wearing

01:41:30.340 underwear.

01:41:31.420 He never successfully lifted her skirt, she said.

01:41:34.060 He would touch it and try to lift it.

01:41:36.000 She would move away and then he'd try again.

01:41:37.980 And eventually, she said, Alan made a comment telling him to stop.

01:41:42.640 Morgan got freaked out, didn't know what to say.

01:41:46.280 And so on.

01:41:47.140 So it stopped.

01:41:48.420 It stopped.

01:41:49.520 Yeah, but.

01:41:50.880 So.

01:41:51.660 So what?

01:41:53.000 It's okay to try to lift up a woman's skirt? 1.00

01:41:55.260 No.

01:41:55.960 No.

01:41:56.600 But as soon as whatever was happening was happening and that she wanted to stop, when they said

01:42:01.760 stop, he stopped.

01:42:02.980 No, because she moved away and then he tried again.

01:42:05.100 Why didn't she just say stop doing it?

01:42:07.240 I don't know.

01:42:07.980 They never do.

01:42:08.840 It seems like.

01:42:09.540 It seems like they can't.

01:42:11.440 I don't think Morgan's married, right?

01:42:12.840 They won't.

01:42:13.360 I don't know.

01:42:14.160 I mean, they made a big deal that he lives with his granddaughter or something or his niece

01:42:18.680 or some.

01:42:20.260 I got to look it up now.

01:42:21.700 I don't think he's married.

01:42:24.720 I'm not sure.

01:42:25.960 But anyway, but the point is, is that now, granted, I'm not saying that it's okay to

01:42:30.640 lift up the girl's dress anytime you want. 1.00

01:42:32.780 I'm just saying that at that point, this story evolved into she felt uncomfortable when

01:42:39.300 someone confronted him about it.

01:42:40.880 It stopped.

01:42:44.000 I guess so.

01:42:45.640 Yeah.

01:42:46.060 So you're saying what?

01:42:48.100 It's fine.

01:42:50.200 It's fine.

01:42:51.160 Is that what you're saying?

01:42:53.120 Mr. Dirtbag?

01:42:54.240 I'm not.

01:42:56.420 It's not fine.

01:42:57.560 No.

01:42:58.060 On the set of Now You See Me in 2012, some of the production staff said he did comment

01:43:05.580 on our bodies.

01:43:06.440 We knew that if he was coming by, not to wear any top that would show our breasts, nor

01:43:12.400 to wear anything that would show our bottoms, meaning not wearing clothes that were fitted,

01:43:19.200 she said.

01:43:21.000 At 80 years old, Freeman is one of, as we've mentioned, Hollywood's biggest stars.

01:43:26.340 His movie career spans decades, Driving Miss Daisy, Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar

01:43:31.940 Baby.

01:43:32.100 I mean, look at the list of that.

01:43:34.540 I mean, this is unbelievable.

01:43:36.580 Yeah.

01:43:36.920 He's done a lot of stuff.

01:43:39.060 Apparently, 16 people spoke to CNN about Freeman as part of the investigation, eight

01:43:43.540 of whom said they were victims of what some called harassment, others called inappropriate

01:43:47.980 behavior by him.

01:43:49.640 So it sounds like he says things to women like, hey, a nice whatever, like that, and they don't

01:43:57.800 like it.

01:43:58.700 So do you ask him to stop?

01:44:00.660 And if you ask him to stop and he does, maybe that takes care of it.

01:44:05.400 I know that's kind of what you're saying, right?

01:44:06.900 Yes.

01:44:07.700 It's like if, you know, if you don't know it's not acceptable, then how do you know to

01:44:14.580 stop?

01:44:15.660 Right?

01:44:16.140 You've got to be told.

01:44:17.280 Look, I don't want to hear that from you, 80-year-old man.

01:44:24.360 Stop it.

01:44:24.960 Stop.
