The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:08.240
I think I need to open the phones, because I could play, well, on one hand, but then
00:00:18.860
And I really want to hear from you on the spy in the White House.
00:00:27.060
The op-ed in the New York Times, by the way, we're going to take your phone calls, 888-727-BECK.
00:00:44.880
I'm, I'm, there is, we all know that Donald Trump is a little unhinged at times.
00:00:57.440
He may not be taking Russia as seriously as he should be.
00:01:03.660
We also know that there's some things that we really like.
00:01:07.320
So, on one hand, I'm glad there are people that are stopping him or slowing him down on
00:01:16.160
doing some of the crazy things that are either undemocratic or not, you know, Republican conservative
00:01:31.320
I am really very bothered by the covert nature of this.
00:01:38.580
If you are taking, you know, things, and this is the Bob Woodward book, not the editorial,
00:01:43.860
but if you are taking things off the president's desk, on the one hand, but on the other, you're
00:01:54.820
Well, even if it, even if it were Mike Pence, and I don't think it is, even if it were Mike
00:02:00.220
Pence, and he's an elected official, they didn't vote for you, Mike.
00:02:10.500
This, you can't tell me that this is healthy because it never stops here.
00:02:19.580
If you're upset about this today, that he's doing this, would you have cheered if somebody,
00:02:28.660
let's say, in the treasury or, you know, on the, on the, a group of people with the cabinet
00:02:35.960
that Obama never met with, if they would say, you know what, we believe in, in healthcare
00:02:44.020
being the best in the world, is happening here because of the free market system, this
00:02:52.380
It's going to be a danger to the future of health and innovation.
00:02:57.560
Would you be okay with a group of people covertly stopping Obamacare inside the administration?
00:03:06.480
Now, I will tell you that part of me would cheer, but I would hope that I would say, but on
00:03:37.060
You elected him and well, half the country didn't, well, half the country didn't elect
00:03:51.780
And if you're cheering now, would you have cheered if somebody had done that to Barack Obama?
00:04:01.420
If this precedence stands, will you be cheering when it happens to your guy?
00:04:17.260
I believe in the op-ed, it says, well, uh, we didn't want to get involved with the 25th
00:04:23.500
We don't want to cause a constitutional crisis.
00:04:30.240
You have a, a shadow government inside of the white house, an unelected, unnamed group
00:04:40.140
of people that are thwarting the president of the United States.
00:04:46.920
Uh, I don't know how to look at that other than a banana Republic.
00:04:53.560
I mean, at least the 25th amendment to the constitution is in the constitution, in the
00:04:58.100
constitution, there is impeachment, there is election, there is the 25th amendment.
00:05:04.280
There is not anywhere in the law constitution or common sense for a group of people to be
00:05:17.780
And on the other hand, I'm glad that he's been slowed down on certain things or hasn't
00:05:28.700
But I am not for, I am for a group of people coming into his office and saying, Mr. President,
00:05:40.800
I am not for a group of people deciding they're just going to take the rule of law and the
00:06:19.220
It's my gosh, there's so much to talk about today.
00:06:26.980
I have some really good news about the Democrats starting to turn.
00:06:32.720
As well, there is an, an, a historic opportunity right now.
00:06:40.660
If people will stick to principles, American principles, you have a chance of uniting maybe
00:06:49.120
60% of this country, maybe, maybe higher, but over 50% of this country can come together
00:07:02.300
They're tired of the craziness of the, the Trump administration.
00:07:09.780
They're tired of the craziness from the alt-right.
00:07:15.800
And the Democrats are finally waking up going, wait a minute, we have been hijacked.
00:07:21.920
And they are finally seeing the same things that the Tea Party saw in the Republicans.
00:07:33.160
And that is a good thing because they're rejecting Democratic Socialists.
00:07:45.120
But short-term thinking, I know people in the administration and in and around the administration that called me before the election and said,
00:08:03.920
Glenn, I just want to have an off-the-record conversation with you.
00:08:08.060
You and I have been friends for a long time or you and I have been doing this or whatever.
00:08:16.960
I want you to know I'm not speaking out because someone needs to be in the room.
00:08:23.680
Someone has to be there to help shape and guide.
00:08:29.700
So I know people and I celebrate that people are in the room that are, are not crazy.
00:08:38.960
Who don't believe that, you know, trade is easily, you know, easy trade wars are easily won.
00:08:52.240
And I know people who took jobs there and are getting blasted for it.
00:08:58.240
But they took jobs so someone could be in the room.
00:09:10.060
I mean, certainly it's different than what we were talking about with the Woodward book, right?
00:09:15.720
Where people are taking, allegedly taking papers off of desks to hide things that the president wants to do and take it, taking something that's done away from him so he can't sign it.
00:09:27.740
At least that's what's the way it was portrayed in the Woodward book.
00:09:29.900
That to me is completely over the line, you know, and because, you know, look, even if he's making bad decisions, you know, we elected him.
00:09:39.460
I mean, even if, you know, because I think I'm very vocal on how much I disagree with the president on trade in particular.
00:09:45.440
But, I mean, the president's the freaking president.
00:09:48.100
And the Congress, by the way, gave him that power.
00:09:50.700
The Congress gave the power to the president against what the Constitution says.
00:09:58.340
All you have to do to restrain any president, this is what we were asking Congress to do under Barack Obama, is tell Congress to live within the constitutional powers.
00:10:12.080
And force the administration to live within its power.
00:10:19.040
They want to be able to blame it on somebody else.
00:10:23.100
But you argue with the president about that, and you tell him he's wrong, and if you really feel strongly about it, you might resign.
00:10:33.360
I mean, so, but you don't, this is such a strange thing as far as the specifics about this op-ed, which is, you can say that this is someone who is working against an agenda.
00:10:47.060
And they don't specify any of these, like, tricks where they're doing something against the president.
00:10:52.520
And he says he's doing what I believe is right.
00:10:55.540
And it's something where we are working against the worst instincts of the president, is the way they phrase it.
00:11:03.500
And doing that can be a bunch of different things.
00:11:06.320
You know, that can be what we're talking about.
00:11:07.580
It might be just talking about, you know, trying to guide him towards the right decision.
00:11:13.120
Which is a completely, every big executive has advisors who do that.
00:11:20.240
Steve Jobs had people on his staff that would tell people, don't bring that up to Steve.
00:11:26.680
Or we're going to go off on a tangent and we'll be a million miles away.
00:11:35.760
Stu, you and I both know that you have said to people before they meet with me, don't bring that up with Glenn because he'll go, right?
00:11:52.420
But you would never say if it was critical to hear an alternate voice.
00:12:01.820
And I have had employees that have walked out of my office and they were fired for it because they walked out of my office and they were high-level executives.
00:12:12.060
And they said to their team after meeting with me for like 90 minutes and agreeing on a course, okay, dismiss all of that.
00:12:24.180
Because if it's something like where the president of the United States is saying, I want to start a trade war with, you know, Madagascar.
00:12:30.720
Then you all have to walk out in front of the press and say, I can't do it.
00:12:39.220
Now, in here, they don't necessarily outline that.
00:12:41.420
He doesn't outline, I don't think, something that would be completely against the Constitution.
00:12:51.120
I think he outlines that he is, he wants to almost tell the American people, I'm there trying to, I'm there to try to do what I can to push back against these worst instincts.
00:13:01.800
Depending on how that's defined, it could be okay, maybe not.
00:13:04.620
But the issue I have with it is that if what you're doing, you're doing to be, to do something that's good for the country, and you believe this is really important,
00:13:17.860
When you come out and write this op-ed, Trump, every time something doesn't happen, he's going to believe he's being thwarted in some way.
00:13:24.300
I could not solve this puzzle in my head last night.
00:13:38.880
Here's a guy who, in the Woodward book, if you believe any of this, and I do believe some of this, he loves chaos.
00:13:58.740
Now, he has a reason to be paranoid, but you've just said, here's a guy who's a little unstable, and he's a little undemocratic.
00:14:13.000
Why would you tell the world, and him, by the way, there's a group of us, yeah, you don't even know who we are,
00:14:22.100
but we're there every day, and we're thwarting you.
00:14:27.360
If you believed that this was national security, why would you come out and admit that?
00:14:32.560
Because you've just made the president, if I'm to believe you, much more dangerous, much more likely to not listen to anyone.
00:14:44.900
I cannot come up with a logical reason other than, and I hate to say this, other than somebody who wants to say, I was that guy.
00:14:58.500
Yeah, like someone who wants history to look at him in a certain way, which is a terrible instinct.
00:15:02.940
If you're really this person who is there for the country, that's not what you would want to do.
00:15:07.400
I mean, the argument being made by people who are kind of supporting this is he mentions the McCain funeral,
00:15:14.500
and we've been nonstop hit with country first and all the things that McCain, many believe McCain kind of stood for.
00:15:23.120
And whether you liked him or not, this person seemingly did, right?
00:15:27.580
So the idea of, hey, maybe I should let the people know that there are good people here.
00:15:34.200
If you are in that administration and you believe that doing these things is an important part of what's happening
00:15:40.080
and you're protecting the country against negative influences, again, depending on how you're doing it, that can be okay, and maybe not.
00:15:46.880
If you believe that the president, as stated in this op-ed, is a threat to democracy and the national security,
00:16:06.320
You take an oath to the Constitution of the United States of America.
00:16:10.380
If you believe this, you have a responsibility to go out and say, this is what's happening.
00:16:26.800
But on the other hand, love to hear your comments.
00:16:32.280
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about my patriot supply.
00:16:34.960
If you don't think the world is in chaos, I mean, what else do you need?
00:16:45.500
So may I suggest that you have food supply because there's, look, did you see what China said?
00:16:54.200
They said if he ups it again, they just said this overnight, if he goes back for more sanctions,
00:16:59.600
which he's saying he's going to do, there will be serious ramifications, according to China.
00:17:17.000
So whether it's a hurricane or a flood or, you know, a power outage because Russia has told us the next war will be ones and zeros,
00:17:26.420
and we know that they have hacked into our power grid.
00:17:32.540
Just have two-week emergency food supply from my patriot supply.
00:17:38.680
They contain 92 servings of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:17:42.220
Take action right now, 800-271-63, or go with my special website at preparewithglenn.com.
00:18:01.940
Hi, I wanted to respond to your discussion about the Woodward book and the op-ed, and I look at it in a slightly different way.
00:18:15.540
But I'm really, really tired of people making excuses for Mr. Trump's behavior.
00:18:22.920
It's just, you know, people will say, and I'm not talking about Fox, I'm not talking about CNN, and I'm not talking about anybody in particular.
00:18:31.160
It just seems like everybody says, well, I don't like this, and then the next sentence is an excuse.
00:18:39.120
So maybe this is a way of things now are starting to kind of make full circle, come back to him for his behavior.
00:18:51.220
That's going to require the citizens of the United States to actually start caring about the truth.
00:18:56.700
Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are employing basic right-wing post-modernism, where the truth doesn't matter.
00:19:14.420
There's no facts behind it, just as the press did under Obama and with Hillary Clinton.
00:19:34.640
And so nobody's going to hold anyone accountable.
00:19:37.640
The left is going to try to hold the right accountable for doing the same things that they did.
00:19:44.100
And the right is going to hold the left accountable for everything that they're doing now.
00:19:51.300
That's post-modernism, a world that is not based in fact.
00:19:58.320
This will change when Americans decide, yeah, you know what?
00:20:12.760
Let me get your thoughts on even the legality of what is happening in the White House, supposedly.
00:20:29.640
Do you think there's a chance Trump has put this out on his own, given that he loves the environment of chaos?
00:20:47.700
I mean, I do think that he enjoys chaos, but I can't see a way this helps him in any way.
00:21:01.060
If anything else, it probably draws attention, too.
00:21:07.360
I mean, they're actually running odds now on who it is.
00:21:15.600
So they've got Mike Pence at minus 150, which means you have to bet $150 to win $100.
00:21:23.120
They have Pence high because of this lodestar thing.
00:21:46.980
Maybe somebody is setting him up to look like the guy who did this.
00:21:59.100
You have Donald Trump, who is already a caged animal, right?
00:22:08.380
He just gave an interview just last weekend where he talked about how alone he feels.
00:22:16.640
You're surrounded by enemies always busting you in the head.
00:22:24.940
You're paranoid as it is, and he has reason to be paranoid right now.
00:22:35.020
What is that going to do besides bring out probably more erratic behavior?
00:22:41.860
Is this a possible setup to bring a more unstable president out so you would have more evidence
00:22:52.700
If you got together in a group and you'd say, let's do that, the argument would be, we don't
00:22:58.920
We don't have enough people that would testify on this, this, and this.
00:23:07.800
And that's an insane game you're playing there.
00:23:10.660
But you have to imagine, you know, the end game is not an op-ed, right?
00:23:14.740
Like, the end game is not, hey, I'm going to write something, and then maybe someday people
00:23:24.540
And by the way, the lodestar thing is, he used the word lodestar in the L-O-D-E-S-T-A-R
00:23:33.780
Lodestar means a star that leads or guides, especially a north star, one that serves as
00:23:40.140
Most people would use north star or polar star.
00:23:42.680
And almost nobody, I've probably never heard anyone in my life use the word lodestar.
00:23:47.460
So my first thought when I was reading that, I'm like, lodestar?
00:23:52.480
And I was like, the first thing I would do if I was at the White House is I'd be searching
00:23:55.300
the internal email service servers to see who's ever used the word lodestar.
00:24:00.060
Because obviously, if you're writing this about yourself, you're going to make sure you don't
00:24:06.860
If you have phrasing that you use all the time, you're not going to put it in your op-ed
00:24:12.700
You know, do your own homework or the world's about to come to an end.
00:24:18.560
So when you're doing something like this, you're going to make sure to not include something
00:24:25.660
So I thought you got to search these email servers.
00:24:30.540
But however, what they found and what people have found so far is that Mike Pence actually
00:24:38.620
And that to me screams somebody targeting Pence.
00:24:42.640
Somebody who wants Pence out of there, out of the circle of trust, knows that Pence uses
00:24:48.440
that word all the time and is trying to go after him as part of this thing.
00:24:55.240
So let me say this, if that would be true, then everything else this person wrote would
00:25:05.760
be false because Pence will be a moderating voice there.
00:25:14.540
So if you're trying to set Pence up or separate him from the president, you're not helping moderate
00:25:22.820
You're trying to upset the apple cart because Pence is blocking you from your access or your
00:25:31.520
It could very well be, too, someone who might be an establishment figure.
00:25:37.800
Could be someone from that wing who doesn't like the sort of more conservative leanings of
00:25:45.000
So, I mean, minus 150 for Mike Pence is a terrible bet.
00:25:51.220
Betsy DeVos, I don't see as someone who would do that.
00:26:08.400
Now, Miller, it's certainly not his style of writing.
00:26:14.020
The one, if I had to pick one out of that group, where are you putting your money?
00:26:18.440
He's very, he's well-known, well-respected in the business community.
00:26:26.420
He is the guy who has not come out and criticized the administration in any of these turns.
00:26:34.940
If I had to bet off that list, that's probably where I'm going.
00:26:39.700
DeVos has had really, you know, pretty strong backing from the president, even though she's been under fire.
00:26:55.180
Eric is not necessarily the, uh, you know, the prince on the white horse.
00:27:07.460
I mean, I, I, he is kind of a, uh, dark figure that would be the kind of guy that would think three-dimensional chess.
00:27:26.080
Um, yeah, I mean, again, we're all just reaching and speculating.
00:27:32.780
But so you're saying that's, that's not as crazy.
00:27:39.260
She's also, uh, you know, very wealthy and, you know, very independent.
00:27:52.080
It's, it's a fact, it is, like, I, I think it's a good thing.
00:27:55.160
I think the idea that it's, I think your analysis yesterday of the Woodward book holds up really well today.
00:28:02.220
Because, once again, what you get out of this, I think, is a summary of things we've known for a long time.
00:28:10.120
That, of course, there are people who are in the administration that are not big Trump fans and don't like his trade wars and don't like his Russia, you know, him liking Russia.
00:28:21.520
Where, you know, hey, we're at a two-track presidency.
00:28:24.040
You know, Trump is friendly to people like Putin.
00:28:33.260
Trump knows and signs off on all of those things.
00:28:35.360
They've convinced him it was right to sanction these people.
00:28:37.780
They've convinced him it is right to pull these people out.
00:28:40.560
That's totally, there's nothing wrong with that at all.
00:28:45.220
I know it sounds crazy to, to think conspiratorial in, in, in situations like this.
00:28:56.140
However, you know, Tom Clancy novels, they're, they're based in reality.
00:29:03.860
I mean, if I hadn't have witnessed some things myself in, uh, government and in administrations and with the media, if I hadn't have witnessed them myself and quite honestly had, had people like Stu next to me, who I can later go back and go, I'm remembering this right.
00:29:26.400
I mean, Stu, there have been things that have been, have been ripped right out of a, of a Clancy novel that we have experienced.
00:29:40.220
And you'd be like, when it's happening to you or happening around you, you're like, shut the hell up.
00:29:50.220
So to, to take this on its face value, maybe what you should do, but I can't, I cannot get past the point that.
00:30:02.860
They say they want to make an impact and that Donald Trump has, um, uh, undemocratic tendencies and he likes people like Putin.
00:30:18.400
Theresa May just gave a speech, uh, in front of parliament.
00:30:23.960
This is Theresa May yesterday in front of parliament regarding Russia.
00:30:27.560
We were right to say in March that the Russian state was responsible.
00:30:32.320
And now we have identified the individuals involved.
00:30:38.060
I can today tell the house that based on a body of intelligence,
00:30:41.560
intelligence, the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and CPS are officers from the Russian military intelligence service.
00:31:04.440
This will require England's not going to sit, um, uh, and sit on their hands on this.
00:31:18.560
You know, if you're in the administration, you have that information.
00:31:21.860
This, this letter specifically says Russia's bad.
00:31:26.540
And we've put all these policies that he's not wanting to do.
00:31:30.440
Well, knowing Donald Trump, once you tell him, don't do something, he'll do it.
00:31:37.140
Now you're alerting him that we've manipulated you on Russia.
00:31:43.600
And this is going to be the one he's going to push back on.
00:31:46.380
This may be the, again, this is all just speculation, but maybe it's someone from the sort of nationalist side of things.
00:31:54.180
Doesn't want the, doesn't like what they've done.
00:32:08.580
That's why secrecy and transparency is the answer to everything.
00:32:14.700
That's why my stance in the end on this is this person must come out and identify themselves and go on the record.
00:32:24.580
This kind of cloak and dagger stuff is very unhealthy for the Republic.
00:32:29.960
It is very unhealthy for the general public as well.
00:32:40.100
No, it definitely, I mean, because this is, there's two ways to go about this, right?
00:32:45.820
You resign, you come out, you make a public statement.
00:32:51.100
The other way is to go the way of, you know, Francis Underwood.
00:33:01.880
Because anyone can commit suicide or spout their mouth in front of a camera.
00:33:05.240
But you want to know what really takes courage?
00:33:07.660
Keeping your mouth shut no matter what you might be feeling.
00:33:09.740
And it's, I always found that to be such a great quote because there's so many times that all you want to do is stand up and say, I'm going to write an op-ed because I'm doing something great.
00:33:19.340
If this person is really doing something, let's just say to protect the country, your courage lies in your silence.
00:33:26.740
Not coming out and running your mouth to the New York Times.
00:33:29.600
The more we talk about this, the more the something's wrong here.
00:33:39.860
I don't think that this story is the surface level that we're seeing.
00:34:01.780
Whether you're buying your first home, your next home, or an investment home, American Financing can customize the right loan program for you.
00:34:10.100
And they'll get you a pre-approval letter fast so you'll know how much money you can qualify for, so you'll know what kind of home you can buy.
00:34:18.220
And you can expect faster than usual processing thanks to the in-house underwriting and decision making.
00:34:24.520
They'll also answer your really stupid questions, like the two dozen or so that I berated them with.
00:34:33.440
Can you buy some of the house and I'll owe you?
00:34:39.240
But, I mean, they were willing to walk me through all the processes, why some of those may have been a bad idea, and got me to, you know, that was an incredible process.
00:34:49.020
The experience, and you'll have to talk about this some other time, the experience that Stu had with American Financing, it just shows you who they are.
00:34:56.180
I mean, and why they're a sponsor on this program, because I don't do, you know, finance endorsements.
00:35:03.760
These guys I do because I've known them, and I questioned them for so long before they became clients, and I watched them through 2008.
00:35:19.740
AmericanFinancing.net, that's AmericanFinancing.net, or call 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440, AmericanFinancing.net.
00:35:29.600
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:35:41.640
We'll continue to take your phone calls and get your feelings on this deep state.
00:35:52.560
It's not the same kind of deep state, but this is a shadow government, and I'm not comfortable with this in any way, shape, or form.
00:36:01.080
Now, there is the possibility, as Stu and I were just talking about off air,
00:36:04.600
that there's this possibility that the New York Times took somebody who is not at a very high level
00:36:16.580
If this isn't a cabinet level or just below cabinet level, if this is not a serious player,
00:36:26.940
the New York Times should be just a roundhouse kick to the face.
00:36:33.800
Yeah, I mean, even people on the left are saying that.
00:36:37.540
They're saying, like, this better be something good, essentially, is the way they're looking at it.
00:36:41.340
Now, of course, they want to tear down the president, but they are saying,
00:36:44.540
I mean, when you say senior-level official, it could mean a bunch of things, and that's a totally...
00:36:48.440
Yeah, no, it's got to be somebody who has serious, serious access.
00:36:58.340
California continues to be the test case in how not to run a state.
00:37:06.100
I hope the rest of the nation is paying attention, because California keeps passing mind-blowingly bad laws
00:37:12.060
that have little to do with the constitutional concept of freedom.
00:37:16.300
And Texas is paying the price, because all of these Froot Loops from California are moving here.
00:37:23.460
The latest example is a law now that California Senate passed last week
00:37:29.400
that is now on its way to Governor Jerry Brown's desk to be signed.
00:37:34.140
California Senate Bill 826 is going to force publicly traded companies based in California
00:37:40.960
to have at least one woman on their boards by 2019.
00:37:47.480
By 2021, companies there will be required to have one to three women on their board, depending on the size.
00:38:02.900
First of all, post-modernist, socialist people who are out to destroy the country,
00:38:18.080
How dare you say women are any different than men?
00:38:22.820
And two, and women have to be on every board because they bring something unique.
00:38:34.460
I believe social media would be very well served by having both liberals and conservatives on their board.
00:38:46.620
And so I'm not for forcing them to have conservatives on their board.
00:38:53.480
This is the first mandated gender quota law in the nation, and it will not be the last.
00:38:59.600
Now, let's be really clear as you're getting ready to write your hate mail.
00:39:03.980
This is not a terrible law because more women might end up in company boardrooms.
00:39:07.680
I'm sure most companies could benefit from the expertise, wisdom, and perspective that some women can provide.
00:39:19.320
What do you say you get the best and brightest minds and you don't care about the color of the skin?
00:39:26.100
This is a terrible law because this is a classic case of big government getting bigger and reaching into areas that it has no business touching.
00:39:37.200
This will hurt businesses, and it brings you one step closer to democratic socialism.
00:39:45.300
Criticizing this law has nothing to do with misogyny and everything to do with liberty.
00:39:50.260
It is the principle of the matter, and I know we don't like to talk about principles anymore or truth, but both of those are the reason we're in this mess, because we keep rejecting them.
00:40:03.300
Government should never be able to mandate quotas like this.
00:40:06.980
Once you crack that door open, especially in a predominantly progressive state like California, there is no limit to what the government will interfere with in an effort to fix things and impose progressively approved morality, which will cause all the Californians to move to Texas.
00:40:25.060
While California senators are patting themselves on the back for their forward thinking, their forced equality, every other group that perceives any sort of discrimination is now drawing up plans for their own government demanded quota.
00:40:40.840
It will not stop until the quotas required 200 board members at every company.
00:40:50.600
No, maybe we should just maybe maybe the workers should own the companies.
00:40:57.640
Maybe all of these companies should be a real reflection of the people, and maybe the state should run those companies.
00:41:06.540
If you think that that is crazy, you have no idea what postmodernism means and what its goal is.
00:41:24.660
California, there's a reason people are moving out of your state.
00:41:28.500
You are unfriendly to business and quite honestly, to human common sense.
00:41:43.780
I wanted to add human because, I mean, I think the spotted owls probably love him.
00:41:47.780
They probably love it, and I think that's fantastic.
00:41:50.960
Could you, could the government pass a law that requires a company to hire a certain gender for a specific job?
00:41:58.860
Like, if you were to say, hey, you doctor, doctor's office, you have a new doctor's opening, it must be a woman.
00:42:10.980
In 2019, it comes up and someone is on a board, and there's five men on the board, and one decides to retire.
00:42:19.000
They would be forcing this company to hire a woman.
00:42:23.380
They would not be able to look at any male applicants.
00:42:28.680
There's an equal protection situation there, isn't there?
00:42:37.800
Now, of course, as you point out, I mean, it would be fine.
00:42:43.200
It's, you know, get the smartest person, whether it's a male or a female should be our approach.
00:42:46.840
But the idea that you would have to be locking a company into a specific gender.
00:42:53.380
Now, again, what does that mean for a transgendered person?
00:42:56.120
What does that mean for someone who's pansexual or asexual or genderqueer or genderfluid?
00:43:04.980
Could they not be able to be considered either, would they?
00:43:09.760
And if you don't have any pansexuals, how are they going to represent this company?
00:43:14.200
How is this company going to be fair to pansexuals?
00:43:26.880
By the time you hire 183, it'll be higher than 183.
00:43:32.480
I want to spend some time talking to you on the phones today about this particular issue of the op-ed piece in the New York Times.
00:43:44.760
Also, we're going to be doing open phones today at 5 o'clock on the Glenn Beck Program on television on the Blaze TV network.
00:43:52.440
You can access that online, or you can access that on your local cable or satellite channel.
00:44:05.080
I recommend that you start calling around 430, 445, and get in line, 888-727-BECK.
00:44:14.180
That is also the phone number, and we're going to the phones now.
00:44:19.460
Kirk, your thoughts on the New York Times editorial and what it means.
00:44:25.220
Well, first of all, I never touch the New York Times unless I'm using it to start a fire.
00:44:32.020
Second of all, since the dawn of humankind, persons in governance have stabbed each other in the back.
00:44:47.920
Does he need people around him so that he doesn't break the rules?
00:44:56.260
I would expect that of any person in my presidency.
00:45:05.800
Problem being is, we, the voter, used Trump as a diamond-tip drill to bore through the 1% shielding against us.
00:45:21.300
They want to punish us by destroying Trump and destroying anyone who breathes his name, all to protect themselves and to try and create their socialist utopia.
00:45:41.160
I don't know if I can go all the way there with you, but I don't rule anything out.
00:45:46.220
We were just talking about, you know, Frank Underwood and the Netflix show, House of Cards.
00:45:54.900
And, you know, how crazy that looked when it first came on.
00:46:02.120
I understand that world more than I understand what's happening right now.
00:46:07.040
I think we have gone so far off the deep end that I can't predict.
00:46:12.940
And there's what sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:46:20.280
I have no idea because truth doesn't matter on either side.
00:46:25.320
You know, as far as the just the constant chaos, we have talked so much in the Obama administration about, you know, the idea of overwhelming the system.
00:46:35.340
And it was, you know, there's intent by, I think, some people.
00:46:38.080
It's been outlined by, you know, people who are, you know, who are deep in philosophy and ways to get things done.
00:46:54.380
But, you know, this is outlined for a long time in various different ways.
00:46:59.780
When it comes to just the chaos of the news coverage and how hyperbolic everybody is about everything and how how how obsessed we are, obsessed we are with like we were talking about this before we had we were playing audio before the show.
00:47:13.380
Every morning we go through the audio clips that we have for the day.
00:47:16.380
And I want to say at least half, if not more, of the Democrats on various points on all of these audio clips were just coming up with some incredible amount of mental gymnastics to blame whatever issue it was on race.
00:47:31.740
The the obsession of about skin color from these people is incredible.
00:47:38.180
They all identify themselves solely by their skin color or how they feel about people with different skin.
00:47:47.060
We have to get to this because I have a an interesting perspective on this that that, you know, coincides with what's in the book addicted to outrage.
00:47:59.840
And I there's we bring up, say exactly what you just did.
00:48:19.280
The greatest threat to our nation and the West at large is not Donald Trump.
00:48:25.380
It's a threat that's largely ignored by mainstream media and even right wing talk radio.
00:48:31.020
In the year 1900, whites made up 30 percent of the world population.
00:48:35.360
Passed forward 118 years later, we now only make up 8 percent of the world population.
00:48:43.780
The Middle East will still largely be Arab and Persian.
00:48:46.140
But Europe will be Arab and African and largely Muslim.
00:48:49.960
If this is happening to any other group of people, it would be called genocide.
00:48:52.700
I encourage your audience to Google white genocide because you know.
00:49:01.680
Birth rates of one society outpacing another's is not genocide.
00:49:18.400
By the way, that's not what he told the phone screener.
00:49:25.620
I'm telling the screener that my whole issue is I am disgusted many times with the president's behavior,
00:49:33.520
whether it be at Twitter, on TV, whatever it might be.
00:49:38.800
And so I'm in this conundrum where how do I balance these two?
00:49:43.040
And I can't support what he says, but I'm supporting what he does.
00:49:48.500
So I think that's where the trouble is on this.
00:49:58.280
And you you have to deal with the cognitive dissonance now.
00:50:04.740
You know, what we did is we we we hired a guy and we knew these things.
00:50:10.780
We knew that he doesn't you know that he doesn't always tell exactly the truth.
00:50:43.760
He's not a good guy at exposing the bad guys because he surrounds himself,
00:50:48.780
at least, you know, in the first part of his administration with bad guys.
00:50:53.080
I mean, you know, Michael Cohen and, you know, Bannon and all these people that he now kind
00:51:02.060
So the problem here is and I think this is where most people are.
00:51:06.880
I think Donald Trump is a danger to the health of the republic.
00:51:12.700
I think left to his own purposes or his own tendencies, I do think that he likes Putin.
00:51:21.720
I think that he understands Putin and Kim Jong-un more than he would understand Teresa May or
00:51:29.300
one of our other allies that believes in democracy, you know, that believes in a constitutional
00:51:46.560
Some of his instincts are awful, but that's the things that those were the things that
00:51:58.060
He grew up believing big government, you know, trade wars, all of those things that are not
00:52:08.340
I mean, he was known for being the most powerful executive.
00:52:16.560
OK, so that's not something that conservatives would like.
00:52:20.580
But they made the bargain with the devil and they said, OK, he's going to be able to get
00:52:26.900
And he has done a lot of things that I never thought he would do.
00:52:33.660
Yeah, he's but he's also done a lot of the bad things I knew he was going to do.
00:52:43.340
My feeling on this has been I want good people around him.
00:52:54.400
However, I'm concerned that this is a is a secret cabal.
00:53:07.760
You have no right to thwart the people's choice.
00:53:12.720
If he's a threat, then you must make that case.
00:53:17.740
You cannot take things off of his desk, you know, and I am torn because I think his instincts
00:53:29.680
I I'm I'm I personally celebrate that there's people around him going, don't say that.
00:53:37.280
However, it's wrong constitutionally and in principle, it is wrong.
00:53:48.220
The next president and the next president, the next president.
00:53:51.780
And we're going to hear from the media if that one of those presidents is a Democrat, which
00:53:57.160
If somebody is in there thwarting them, we're going to hear the exact opposite.
00:54:02.360
They will be demanding the name of who is doing it.
00:54:07.060
We must be consistent and we must base it in principles on the subject of somebody thwarting
00:54:18.960
I think it is a very dangerous thing, even though I am so torn because I I'm glad somebody
00:54:35.360
Been telling you about the new maple flex that allows you to break off a smaller piece
00:54:41.200
But I don't want you to forget about the importance of a small gold bar as well.
00:54:49.840
Now you can get the maple flex bar and I don't even know what they are like 18 bucks.
00:54:55.780
Um, now gold is a lot more, obviously, but it's broken up into small, uh, fractions of
00:55:04.920
You could use that to bargain and barter if if the world goes insane, which hello, check
00:55:12.500
Um, eventually gold is going to be worth a ton of money and that's not going to be that'll
00:55:21.880
So you're going to need the silver and break it up.
00:55:30.220
Their credit card size, five individual one 10th ounce gold bars again from the Royal
00:55:39.280
You'll be able to barter and trade, uh, and protect your family from craziness.
00:55:46.900
I don't buy it as an investment, but as an investment, it's done really well for me over
00:55:56.660
And if it's right for you, eight, six, six gold line, eight, six, six gold line or gold
00:56:12.680
What role do they, do they, should they be playing?
00:56:19.420
Most people don't know what brought the Jim Crow South, um, to the forefront.
00:56:26.980
What, what, what captured people's imaginations, what reporting was done, um, in the North to
00:56:37.120
expose this by white journalists, an amazing story that you've most likely never heard next.
00:56:45.980
I picked up a book, um, I don't know, about a month ago, uh, 30 days, a black man.
00:56:59.120
And the, the title just jumped off, uh, the page at me.
00:57:05.180
Uh, and it's the, the forgotten story that exposed the Jim Crow South.
00:57:10.380
And it really, it long before anybody else, uh, there was a journalist who decided, you
00:57:18.440
know what, I'm going to go see for myself if this is actually happening.
00:57:25.840
Uh, and he, he's a, he's a guy that you've probably never heard of and you should, um,
00:57:39.580
I don't think most people even know this guy's name.
00:57:45.280
And thank you very much for giving me this chance to talk about my, my book.
00:57:49.620
Um, and it's a book about a, a, a great hero of journalism, which, um, we could probably
00:58:01.580
Most people haven't heard of him, especially today.
00:58:03.920
Um, it rhymes with wiggle and he was a, he had won a Pulitzer in 1938 for, for, uh, uh,
00:58:12.340
exposing the fact that Hugo black had been a lifetime member of the KKK and he'd just
00:58:17.900
been named, um, uh, Supreme court justice by FDR.
00:58:23.960
Um, he was a nationally known newsman and, and he was famous for going undercover.
00:58:28.080
He, he went undercover once as a, as a, um, a coal miner, he went undercover several times
00:58:34.440
into mental state, mental hospitals, which are absolutely horrible places.
00:58:37.860
Once as a, once as a patient, once as a guard, um, he was an amazing, uh, reporter, a great
00:58:47.500
He was, uh, uh, a major pulp fiction writer, uh, up and coming one, certainly, uh, in the
00:58:53.820
early 1910s, maybe he showed up in Pittsburgh, became a newsman and, and he spent, I don't
00:59:00.560
even know, 45 years, uh, being an incredible newsman.
00:59:04.680
And in 1948, um, he decided he wanted to see what life was really like for the roughly
00:59:12.720
10 million, uh, black Americans living in the Jim Crow South.
00:59:16.260
And so he, and he knew that the only way he was really going to find out for himself
00:59:22.580
But obviously he was, he was as white as I guess we are when he was a German American.
00:59:27.880
And, uh, so he, uh, you know, immediately started figuring out, well, how am I going
00:59:33.640
And he tried mahogany juice and walnut juice and all this stuff.
00:59:37.740
And finally he, he just ended up getting a heavy tan.
00:59:40.940
And that, that, uh, advice was given to him by people at the NAACP.
00:59:45.660
He reached out to Walter White, another for unbelievably great hero, forgotten dynamo of
00:59:52.900
He was called he, he, and the NAACP, which he ran from about the early 1930s to the, to
01:00:00.140
1955, you know, with Thurgood Marshall and all the, all the law cases that were brought
01:00:05.700
and all the, all the work that was done was pretty much done by the NAACP, or at least
01:00:11.200
And Walter White was, was unlike, uh, what do we have?
01:00:14.640
We have Al Sharpton visiting the Obama White House about 87 times.
01:00:19.260
Um, Walter White visited the FDR and Truman White Houses.
01:00:23.000
And, and, uh, once you find out about Walter White, you'll, you'll know, you know what
01:00:35.160
We'll give you a guide through the South, um, who will take you through the black world.
01:00:40.880
Uh, Spriggle didn't go down there, you know, as a, as a newspaper man, he went down there
01:00:44.940
as a, supposedly as a light-skinned black man from Pittsburgh who was doing field work
01:00:53.200
And he was guided by a man named John Wesley Dobbs, another superstar, black man, uh, pioneering
01:01:05.880
And Dobbs basically hosted him at his house and, uh, gave him a tour of the South from Savannah
01:01:24.320
Dobbs drove around quoting Shakespeare and, uh, English poets, you know, whole passages of
01:01:36.200
These two dudes were driving around the South for a month in, in May of 1948 and Spriggle,
01:01:42.220
because he was passing himself off as a, an NAACP guy, could take notes.
01:01:47.340
And so they would visit, uh, sharecroppers, principals of, uh, or teachers in, in black,
01:01:55.560
Um, they, you know, ate and drank beer in joint.
01:02:00.160
So, so what, Bill, what was it that, what was it the stories that he brought back that
01:02:09.540
Well, at that time, in 1948, the big media of the day was print and newspapers were very, uh, you know, powerful and important.
01:02:19.640
Uh, if you wanted to read about what was going on in the Arab Israeli war, which broke out while
01:02:23.720
they were on their little tour in the spring of 48, you could go to your local Connellsville,
01:02:29.240
you know, gazette and, and there on the front page would be maps of the, of the Middle East and
01:02:34.200
all that, but there were, there were very distinct, um, uh, in the whole country was segregated North
01:02:40.860
and South in many, many ways, shocking ways, really horrible ways, uh, shameful ways.
01:02:45.860
I think when you read the details on and on and how, how segregated the country was, but in terms
01:02:52.360
of media, there was the white media and there was a black media.
01:02:55.460
The black media was essentially weekly black newspapers like the Pittsburgh Courier, which
01:02:59.460
was the biggest in the country, 400,000 subscribers, maybe. Um, and a Chicago defender, the white
01:03:05.800
media almost never wrote about black people or their problems or their, uh, or anything. Yeah.
01:03:12.460
Maybe a few crimes or maybe a vice raid that the local mayor of Pittsburgh would, would
01:03:18.260
mount into the black neighborhood of Pittsburgh, you know, during election time, but that's it.
01:03:23.420
So, so even the best white people in the North had no idea what life was really like for black
01:03:30.600
people in the South. Black people knew either because they just left the South and moved North
01:03:35.540
in the Great Migration or, or they, they were told constantly by the Pittsburgh Courier, which,
01:03:41.700
um, I would encourage, I know that you love history and, and, and I'm a history major. I guess I'm
01:03:47.240
finally fulfilling my degree here for this book because I was a journalist for 35 years,
01:03:51.340
mainly off that thesis and stuff like that feature stories, but there's a place called
01:03:56.280
newspapers.com cost you about eight or nine bucks a month. And you can go back and read
01:04:01.520
the newspapers. Like a lot of the papers that I needed, the Pittsburgh post-cachette and the
01:04:06.180
Pittsburgh Courier, the black paper are all online. You can read this stuff. The Pittsburgh Courier
01:04:11.780
was out of its mind. Tremendous. I think it was like, if you put, if you put newspapers on a
01:04:18.220
spectrum from the, from the state boring and kind of creepy New York times to the wacky
01:04:23.160
New York post, somewhere closer to the New York post is where the courier was. They didn't
01:04:28.260
pretend to be objective. They, they railed about the, the, the civil rights abuses in the South
01:04:34.840
and the poverty and the, and the, and the lynchings and the trials and everything. So black people
01:04:40.440
knew exactly what was going on in a very sensationalized and powerful way. The courier did
01:04:46.580
this for 30 years. And so did the defender and other papers. But, uh, meanwhile, the people at
01:04:51.700
the post-cachette where Spriggle worked, uh, Walter White, the head of the NAACP, I think when I was
01:04:56.320
doing my research, I think his name was mentioned about three or four times the whole year in the
01:05:00.720
Pittsburgh post-cachette. This is a guy who'd been on the cover of time magazine already and had the
01:05:05.660
ear of Truman and was very close with Eleanor Roosevelt. And yet most white people in the North had
01:05:11.440
no idea how, how, uh, oppressive discriminatory and humiliating Jim Crow life was for 10 million
01:05:20.560
blacks in the South. You know, the North was no, you know, picnic either for, for, for black people
01:05:26.600
as, uh, anybody who starts reading about that. No, but there's the, I mean, I, I hate to interrupt
01:05:33.260
you here, but we've only got a couple of minutes left. There are things that you talk about in the,
01:05:38.120
um, in the book, little, little things like, uh, you know, the, the phone operators not willing to
01:05:46.080
address you as Mr. or Mrs. Um, if you were black, because you were, you were beneath that you, you
01:05:53.540
weren't, you weren't a Mr. Uh, and you know, some of these kinds of things, but you know, the, the,
01:06:00.740
the things that really open, because he opened white people's eyes, uh, to this problem. What
01:06:08.300
what he did is he came back from the South and he wrote a 21 part series, page one series for the
01:06:13.320
post-gazette. It was syndicated around the country to about 15 other papers. New York, uh, Herald
01:06:18.060
Tribune was one Seattle times was one. And he wrote in a very powerful, persuasive and, and, and
01:06:24.780
passionate way. Sprigle did recounting all these humiliations and inequities in the, in the schools
01:06:32.140
and the funding and everything. I think the state of Mississippi spent more on bussing white kids
01:06:36.840
than it spent on black education in the state. So separate, but equal was pretty much of a joke.
01:06:42.120
Clark, um, Sprigle was, was very, very powerful in his writing. He shocked the North. He pissed off
01:06:49.820
the South. He pleased millions of blacks because the courier reprinted his whole series, his 21 part
01:06:58.120
series and her seven straight weeks ran it. And it was, it had run all over the country. So black
01:07:03.340
people, that was the only way black people could read what Sprigle wrote. Um, it started the first
01:07:09.500
national debate, Sprigle series about four months, starting in August of, uh, of 48 through November,
01:07:16.860
right after the Dewey, uh, Truman election. It started the first national debate in the media,
01:07:23.320
in the national media about ending legal segregation. My book ends pretty much where Sprigle's story ends.
01:07:31.420
And that is with a radio debate, a national radio debate, a couple hundred stations live on, uh,
01:07:40.160
on town hall meeting, uh, of the air, which was like, uh, meet the press and, uh, uh, you know,
01:07:47.120
and this is the first time, this is the first time that this question was really asked, what should
01:07:52.920
we do about race segregation? Um, in a public way, in a public way, in a media way. Yeah. And, uh,
01:08:00.300
Sprigle, you know, little, little spark and it burst, uh, you know, it flamed there for about four
01:08:05.680
months and then he, it died down and the South and Jim Crow did not get as much attention until
01:08:13.420
1954 with, uh, Brown versus board. And then I am a chill murder in 55 and Rosa Parks in 55.
01:08:20.660
And that's when the national media, the white media, the New York times, CBS came down South
01:08:26.400
to really fully cover what, what, you know, a very un-American life, uh,
01:08:35.660
American apartheid basically. Right. And the North does not get off easy on this either, but
01:08:41.460
I, I want to thank you for writing this book and, and teaching me about somebody who I had never heard
01:08:47.500
of before. Um, and it really shows that you may not be able to solve something in your lifetime,
01:08:55.280
but by standing and doing the right thing, you could set off a trigger of, uh, you know,
01:09:02.140
you could trigger a series of events that happen after you are long gone that changed the world.
01:09:08.140
The name of the book is 30 days, a black man, the forgotten story that exposed the Jim Crow South
01:09:13.400
really, really well done, Bill. Thank you so much. Uh, this is available in bookstores everywhere.
01:09:24.860
All right. Life lock new prediction. A new forecast says that 146 billion records are going to be stolen
01:09:32.440
by cyber criminals over the next five years, but it's only 146 billion. That's it. So I doubt it's
01:09:40.060
going to touch you. The U S is going to be the largest single target during this time. Even with
01:09:45.040
the forecast spending on cybersecurity is flat and that's for corporations. I mean, what are you,
01:09:51.080
what are you doing as, um, an individual this weekend? I'm, uh, remind me, I want to talk about
01:09:59.700
something that's happening this weekend and on Monday's program. That's really important, uh, and
01:10:05.480
very, very personal, um, something that, uh, you need to know about. And I've been very reluctant to
01:10:12.900
share. Um, but, uh, uh, it's time. So I, I remind me to talk about that, but it, it kind of revolves
01:10:22.520
around the security in your home and, and, and, and how vulnerable we all are. Life lock identity

public tomorrow, last day of pre-sale. You can get them now, uh, by using, uh, the promo
01:12:13.380
code, the blaze. Could I ask Stu, um, to, to tell me exactly what the ring is that he's
01:12:24.640
wearing? My fingers actually tired from wearing it. Um, you may recognize it as a, uh, Super
01:12:30.880
Bowl championship, Philadelphia Eagles ring. Uh, it looks ridiculous. So huge, uh, and heavy
01:12:37.340
and yes, it's very heavy. Uh, probably one of the most, my most favorite things that a
01:12:42.060
listener has ever just sent in champ ring guy.com guy from there sent it in. It's a replica ring
01:12:47.400
of the actual support. It's heavy though. It's a big real weight ring. Unfortunately, not all
01:12:51.580
diamonds. He didn't send one to me. Um, probably because the Yankees or you want a Yankees championship
01:12:59.580
ring from the NFL. We can get that to you. Yeah. I mean, why not? I mean, today's the day
01:13:03.980
the NFL starts. They had to wear it. I don't know why you're when you're ridiculous. It's
01:13:07.940
so big. Now you're NFL lineman's wearing it. It probably doesn't look bad on necessarily
01:13:13.340
on them and it looks appropriate. You it's like, I don't know. Are you the Pope or what
01:13:18.180
is that? So bizarre. All right. Uh, final hour of the Glenn Beck program coming up.
01:13:28.280
Glenn Beck. It's Thursday, September 6th. This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:13:33.980
What happened yesterday in the New York times, the op-ed piece
01:13:39.060
is itself a danger to the country. It is a threat to national security.
01:13:50.220
I am so torn on this because I'm glad there's adults in the room. I'm really glad there are
01:13:56.560
adults in the room. I, I, I, I, I want this for every president, but especially this president.
01:14:01.960
I want people standing around him going, wait a minute, Mr. President, could we just stop
01:14:06.860
and think here? I want that. This president needs those kinds of people around him. His instincts,
01:14:15.720
I think are wrong many times. Sometimes they're right. But when, when the president goes wrong,
01:14:24.240
uh, when he's swinging for the fences, it could be a very bad thing. So I'm glad somebody is in there.
01:14:33.500
However, I don't like the idea of a secret cabal. Nobody elected this unnamed anonymous person.
01:14:43.320
And even if they did, if we elected you, you're not the president. He is. And like it or not,
01:14:51.980
elections have consequences. And what's the difference between this? This is a proverbial tarp bailout.
01:14:59.400
So this is the people made their decision. People in power want to make it better in their opinion.
01:15:09.040
I don't know what this person's opinion is. I don't know if this person is good, bad, agrees with me or
01:15:15.080
the Trump voter more or less. I have no idea. We don't know who this person is and they're shaping
01:15:21.780
the, the future. No, thank you. That's a bailout. I'm sorry. Trust the American people. They'll get
01:15:33.080
it wrong, but eventually they'll get it right. That's Thomas Jefferson. All right. It's ugly.
01:15:40.920
It's an ugly system, but this is deep state shadow government. I don't know what it is,
01:15:48.440
but it's not constitutional. And here's why it's a danger. I want to play something that came out
01:15:55.000
last night. This is Teresa May yesterday in front of parliament talking about Russia and their
01:16:04.100
influence and the killing of two of their citizens. Listen, we were right to say in March that the
01:16:11.640
Russian state was responsible. And now we have identified the individuals involved. We can go
01:16:17.380
even further based on this work. Based on this work, I can today tell the house that based on a body of
01:16:23.340
intelligence, the government has concluded that the two individuals named by the police and CPS
01:16:29.820
are officers from the Russian military intelligence service, also known as the GRU. The GRU is a highly
01:16:40.020
disciplined organization with a well-established chain of command. So this was not a rogue operation.
01:16:47.140
It was almost certainly also approved outside the GRU at a senior level of the Russian state.
01:16:54.260
Okay. Now I want you to just think this through with me. The president of the United States has been under
01:17:04.420
attacked by the media, by the left, by the right, by everybody. He is rightfully paranoid. And he also has
01:17:15.040
a touch of, you know, paranoia in him anyway. The Bob Woodward book comes out where they're saying,
01:17:26.400
I've taken things off his desk. Okay. Then the very next day, there's an op-ed from somebody who's
01:17:34.580
very high level and says, look, I, I really like some of the stuff that he's doing, but a group of
01:17:42.000
us have gotten together and we talked about the 25th amendment, but we don't want to cause a
01:17:46.480
constitutional crisis. Okay. So a group of us got together and said, I think the president may be
01:17:52.160
mentally unstable and unfit for job. You had that conversation. Wow. Okay. Huh? Now you have that
01:18:05.060
conversation and now you've put it in the New York times and you say, I like his tax cuts and I like
01:18:11.700
a couple of things, but I want to quote astute observers have noticed though the rest of the
01:18:18.420
administration is operating on another track, one where countries like Russia are called out for
01:18:24.180
meddling and punished accordingly and where allies around the world are engaged as peers rather than
01:18:31.080
as ridiculed as rivals on Russia. For instance, the president was reluctant to expel so many of
01:18:38.220
Putin's spies as punishment for the poisoning of the Russian former spy in Britain. He complained for
01:18:45.560
weeks about senior staff members, letting him get boxed into further confrontation with Russia.
01:18:51.180
And he expressed frustration that the United States continued to impose sanctions on the country
01:18:56.320
for its malign behavior, but his national security team knew better. Such actions had to be taken
01:19:06.800
put yourself, none of the shoes of the president, put yourself now as John Bolton, as, as anybody who has
01:19:19.720
to walk in and talk to the president about Teresa May and the evidence that they now have. And you have
01:19:35.600
How are you feeling this morning? How are you feeling you're even going to approach this? Because
01:19:43.060
let's just assume you're not the, the, the spy in the white house. You're not the one thwarting him
01:19:51.420
and you have no idea who is, but you know, as soon as you bring up Russia, the president read that last
01:19:59.560
night and has been obsessing on it ever since. And now you have to come in and brief him and say, look, we
01:20:06.480
need a little tougher sanctions on Russia. What do you think the response is going to be from the president?
01:20:12.040
How do you think he, you think he's just going to openly listen
01:20:16.020
to you or in the back of your mind is in the back of his mind? Is he
01:20:20.040
thinking, I wonder if this is the son of a bitch that set me up?
01:20:24.100
Understandably. So that's correct. That's what any person in his position would be correct at that moment.
01:20:36.080
back and got it done anyway, because we know better.
01:20:38.780
Now, with more headed our way, now you've got to go in. Somebody has to go in and say, look,
01:20:48.080
we need to get a little tougher because England has proven now that they were right.
01:20:57.420
You've put the United States in a national security crisis.
01:21:26.800
That's what he's always talked about. That's what he's like.
01:21:39.380
I'm not going to be the one going in there today?
01:22:02.600
actually cared about the hawkish position on Russia,
01:27:07.820
and I don't want to give in too much information out yet.
01:27:18.560
And I think he has cracked the code on this one.
01:27:29.600
we'll do something on Facebook live right after the show.
01:27:50.240
There's a lot of background work that we haven't checked on,
01:28:08.420
This woman is putting it all on the line for healthcare women and LGBT rights.
01:28:15.580
constantly maligns her with false attacks and threats of violence.
01:28:33.460
This is what I wanted to talk to you about last hour.
01:28:38.960
but we have to separate the people who like a bigger welfare state from the people who are actually socialists,
01:28:54.960
if we don't start opening our language up and start opening our arms up to people who are looking for a home,
01:29:05.200
So let me just give you some of the responses to her tweet.
01:29:10.760
And here I had the nerve to self-identify as a liberal.
01:29:27.580
restricting critique of Islam and plays with anti-Semites.
01:29:32.880
A critique of Linda Sarsour is not the same thing as maligning her.
01:29:41.020
Why don't you ask your bestie to explain why she body shamed and victim blamed.
01:29:53.060
I criticize Linda Sarsour because I am a liberal,
01:29:58.040
I'm not okay with sweeping Louis Farrakhan's overt Jew hate under the rug.
01:30:03.920
I also don't believe in trying to make murdering Jewish babies okay by calling it Palestinian resistance.
01:30:16.140
Sarsour is open and unapologetic association with anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan,
01:30:23.200
make her a con and a fraud in the progressive movement.
01:30:26.200
There's no place for bigotry or theocracy in a free and equitable society.
01:30:32.400
You should apologize to every FGM victim on the planet.
01:30:37.560
FGM victim shaming includes one from any conversation about women's rights,
01:30:43.140
as does supporting the enslavement of women in Saudi Arabia.
01:31:04.400
who are beginning to see these people for who they are.
01:31:11.340
to open our arms to people who vote differently
01:31:16.540
and may disagree on the size of the welfare state,
01:31:33.880
They may have been misguided or trusted these people,
01:32:12.240
that are being championed by people like Linda Sarsour.
01:32:23.700
for people to distance themselves from those who call for the elimination of all Jews or all whites.
01:32:39.040
people are accepting of Donald Trump on the right
01:32:51.620
and they haven't seen anybody that's been able to do it.
01:33:00.540
The left then excuses people like Linda Sarsour
01:33:06.000
and they're pushing back on the Trump administration.
01:33:37.440
I don't think I've ever read a more powerful story than,
01:34:29.720
a juvenile delinquent that turned his life around to a point,
01:34:41.540
And Jesse Owens was my dad's roommate in the Olympic village.
01:34:52.320
my dad got in trouble when he decided that the souvenir he wanted from the
01:34:56.720
Berlin Olympics was the swastika hanging off of Hitler's office building.
01:35:07.240
he might've almost been the first American casualty of the Nazis,
01:35:22.820
I guess they were checking to see that he wasn't one of the two Jewish
01:35:30.000
they went inside the building and came back with the flag all folded up and
01:35:48.360
to run for the university of Southern California,
01:35:50.220
where he held the collegiate record for the mile for about 14 years.
01:35:55.220
he was almost a man to break the four minute mile,
01:36:17.540
he and two other guys survived on rubber life rafts,
01:36:24.100
all the way into the Japanese controlled Marshall islands,
01:36:32.580
followed American sports and they knew who they had found and they wanted to use
01:37:08.540
the war ended and my father was able to come home alive from that ordeal.
01:37:15.020
without the atomic bombs because the Japanese had what was called a kill all order.
01:37:20.560
So all the American servicemen and allies were going to be put to death.
01:37:40.660
You had to be devastated when the film came out and it just erased all of the,
01:37:50.480
the first film ended at him coming home from the war and there just wasn't enough
01:37:54.460
time for them to be able to tell the whole story.
01:38:00.960
Angelina Jolie's film ended where it did so that we could tell the story from a
01:38:16.060
you're going back in time and playing your grandfather.
01:38:21.640
he went to a tent revival of your grandfather's,
01:38:29.060
the revival meeting that put Billy Graham on the map.
01:38:39.840
that Billy had to speak changed my father's life.
01:38:45.360
went back and forgave all of his prison guards.
01:38:50.240
I was going to tell you why I found a life magazine from November,
01:38:56.060
it's a revival and had pictures of your dad and pictures of my mom and dad with
01:39:18.800
what did you find out about your grandfather and their relationship that,
01:39:26.880
I'm not sure when I did my research on my granddaddy,
01:39:31.680
the sermons he was preaching and what it sounded like,
01:39:38.400
I'd already know much about the relationship already.
01:39:45.880
They were telling me about the stories about Louisiana and,
01:39:51.000
But what I learned from my granddad when I was learning his sermons was that he,
01:40:08.980
the Russians had just detonated the first atomic bomb.
01:40:12.000
So every American was thinking about the nuclear age.
01:40:23.440
half his sermons were preaching on communism against communism.
01:40:28.140
It's amazing how the church stood against all these religious leaders of that era.
01:40:42.520
the younger generation doesn't get it at all at all.
01:40:46.980
I guess there's a lot of competing for their attention.
01:40:51.700
he studied it and that's why he would preach with a newspaper in one hand and the Bible in
01:40:55.960
the other talking about how the two would go together.
01:41:00.000
A lot of times now you don't see them tying real life together.
01:41:19.560
we give a lot of credit to Reagan and Thatcher and the Pope,
01:41:26.700
but it was really his grandfather getting in behind the iron curtain and preaching the
01:41:37.300
but it was him getting there and preaching the gospel and it,
01:41:40.320
that opened the door for the changes in the Soviet union that brought down the,
01:41:51.500
if he was able to get into North Korea or even,
01:42:02.520
I can't imagine the impact that it would have on the future.
01:42:16.800
I think take place in China and in North Korea,
01:42:22.880
and a lot of great things are happening even without us knowing,
01:42:38.980
So I wanted to watch it before this interview and I just didn't have a
01:42:54.500
one of the life changing moments of my life was spending time with him.
01:43:10.800
You can go to unbroken film.com to find out more about it.
01:43:22.580

01:43:41.920

01:43:59.960
attract the right buyers that will pay the top dollar.

01:44:23.340

01:45:28.620
You are America's worst promoter of your own projects.
01:45:36.940
Why are you in this business if you don't like it?
01:45:39.560
cause I don't like self-promotion and I know that sounds crazy,
01:46:22.840
I'm getting politicked hard for a couple of cities.
01:46:36.240
but there's a couple of others that are going to be added.
01:46:38.380
Just start a go fund me directly to Glenn Beck's bank account.
01:46:52.680
It's the first time we've been out on the road like this in a really
01:47:06.220
I don't think we've done a stage show in eight years,
01:47:16.340
I maybe get to intro you and do a little bit at the beginning.
01:47:18.800
And then I get to just watch you go out there and sweat.
01:47:28.580
I know the most expensive seats are the front rows,
01:47:40.500
a lot of the seats that you buy come with a new book due to outrage.
01:47:52.240
where I like the fact that the recovering alcoholic on the addicted to outrage tour does
01:48:06.360
we're going to talk about addiction and recovery and how this will help our country.
01:48:14.360
one way you have cured your addiction to outrage in the past is by alcohol because alcohol made you,
01:48:24.640
Now that did not make people like Pat comfortable.
01:49:22.600
And I think I know who wrote the op-ed and who's actually behind it.
01:50:04.860
when everything's confirming something that you think might be true.
01:50:09.580
the New York times is going to look so bad to anybody on the right.
01:50:16.120
we're going to do that Facebook live in about half an hour.
