Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right, let me tell you about the home title lock. This is something I think is really,
00:00:03.440 really important. I have it on my home because of who I am and the death threats that we have
00:00:09.500 in our family and everything else. I've taken extra measures to protect my home.
00:00:13.760 The extra measures that I spent tens of thousands of dollars on actually has made it easier for
00:00:21.700 somebody to steal my home. I found this out from an FBI agent. I've hired home title lock to stand
00:00:27.920 guard for tens of thousands of dollars, right? No, shockingly, shockingly less. Yeah. Pennies a
00:00:33.480 day. Actually, they'll put this virtual barrier around your home's title and mortgage. And if
00:00:36.840 anyone's going to try to get access to your cash, your equity, they can help shut it down. You need
00:00:42.060 to do it for your parents. You really do. They're the biggest targets. Get your free title scan and
00:00:46.880 report. See if your home's already been compromised at home title lock dot com home title lock dot com.
00:00:53.840 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:01.720 Hello, America. Welcome. So glad that you are here today. I we have a couple of things we wanted to
00:01:09.640 cover. First of all, the State of the Union speech. I love Nancy Pelosi's idea. Please, Mr. President,
00:01:15.760 do this. Also, the Women's March and feminism and a very frank conversation with you on feminism.
00:01:28.360 And I need women on the phone who are willing to be very frank. We're not going to use any names
00:01:35.640 and tell us. Just answer eight different questions for us. We'll get into that as we begin the show
00:01:43.240 right now. This is the Glenn Beck program. OK, we begin the show in one minute. I want to tell you
00:01:52.180 about life lock. Stolen identity can be an absolute nightmare. These are the things that destroy your
00:01:57.380 credit and then you can never get around it. And you I mean, it's it's awful. You're not an expert
00:02:03.520 in this on just even watching out for all these things. But when something happens, you then have
00:02:09.060 to take your whole day, day after day, week after week, trying to get all of the bad stuff removed
00:02:16.060 from your credit history. It's a nightmare. Oh, yeah. And what trying to unwind it, if you get in
00:02:22.380 the end, this is a total disaster. You have to really stop it before it starts. Unless you want
00:02:27.460 unless you want this to be your career, unless you want the next unless you want to school to study
00:02:31.640 to fight against identity fraud or if you've already hired the team to protect you from it.
00:02:38.180 If God forbid somebody gets beyond that team, they have in country specialists that this is all they
00:02:45.120 do and they know how to unravel it for you. It's still a pain in the butt, but it is better than
00:02:51.260 anything else out there. And it's certainly better than doing it by yourself. It is life lock.
00:02:56.420 They detect a wide range of identity thefts. Nobody can stop all identity theft or monitor
00:03:02.100 all transactions and protect everything from you. But these are the best in the business. It's
00:03:07.220 LifeLock. Get 10% off your first year right now if you use the promo code back at 1-800-LIFELOCK,

00:03:22.100 All right, let's begin the show.
00:03:26.420 You know, there's one tradition that I just love, and that is when we all gather around
00:03:37.960 the old set and we watch the State of the Union. Oh, the fun times and fun memories that
00:03:47.040 brings back every year. I hate that. It's one of the worst things ever. It's nothing but
00:03:53.380 a really lousy show. It's state-run television. That's what that is. That's what it feels like.
00:04:00.560 It is. It is. And you know, it's like, you know, it's like, you know, America's Got Talent
00:04:06.540 or something like that, where you know the outcome. You know these judges are going to
00:04:11.000 hate it, and these judges are going to love it. Every time.
00:04:14.920 It's a giant show, and I feel like it's completely inconsistent with the foundations of our country.
00:04:20.440 Like, we don't revere leaders like this. We don't, we don't, it's not pomp and circumstance
00:04:26.660 here. And like, this is the perfect time for Trump to just say, you know what? You're right. It's
00:04:31.580 back to a letter. I love that. I would love for him to do that. Look, the Constitution says that
00:04:35.880 the president, I think it even says from time to time. Time to time, or occasionally. Yeah, it's like,
00:04:40.540 yeah, I think it is. It's not even supposed to be like, every January, you got to do this. It's
00:04:43.780 from time to time. The president needs to inform the Congress, the State of the Union. It needs
00:04:49.520 to say, hey, things kind of suck over here and are pretty good over there. It's always been a letter,
00:04:55.020 I think, until either Wilson or FDR, of course. I think there was maybe one or two exceptions to
00:05:00.460 that. It's an interesting history, actually. But they, it was never supposed to be, it was never
00:05:07.420 supposed to be, look, believe me, it was never supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be
00:05:12.140 basically an actual report of what the hell was going on in the country. Correct. That's it. And
00:05:16.360 here's a couple ideas of how I think we could fix it. Right. So it's turned into this giant show.
00:05:21.240 And now Nancy Pelosi, as a punishment, this is how out of touch they are, as a punishment for
00:05:28.580 shutting down the government says, you know what? Maybe we won't invite you to give a State of the
00:05:32.960 Union. Okay. All right, please. He doesn't need a State of the Union. The guy tweets and all you do
00:05:40.300 is talk about it for six weeks. Yeah. I mean, we, we got it. We got it. Oh, boo hoo. Now this again
00:05:46.840 hurts us because we've done a lot of planning. We've got a really good State of the Union broadcast with
00:05:55.340 all hands on deck at the blaze. Eric Bolling is in Washington with all of the experts. We're going
00:06:01.320 to be based here, checking in with all of the blaze staff. Yeah, but bad for us. Good for the
00:06:06.180 country. Yeah. Great for the country. Great for the country. Now, the other side of this, I'm so I'm
00:06:13.140 can you hear it in my voice? I'm kind of excited that this might not happen. You know that the
00:06:18.280 president's not going to give up and give that boring speech every year that every president gives
00:06:23.620 and we all hate and I've you've paid me you've paid me for 40 years for 40 years. I have been paid
00:06:33.440 to watch that damn speech. I've watched all of them for 40 years. I hate them. I hate them.
00:06:42.760 You're still paying me to watch it. And it's like you this year. You know what, Glenn,
00:06:48.360 you know, and I'll have to watch it. Oh, please. Thank you. So part of it's good for me. Part of
00:06:56.160 it's bad for me, but great for America. People say we don't give Democrats credit when they have
00:07:01.780 good ideas. Well, here's one. Nancy. Yes. Wonderful idea. This is their punishment. I love this. Okay.
00:07:10.660 So if if you decide to do it, Mr. President, you should encourage them not to show up.
00:07:23.540 Now, I don't know exactly how the Constitution works to where if the president says, I'm going
00:07:30.200 to do it, you don't have to show up. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do my constitutional duty.
00:07:34.720 I think it would be even more fun if they didn't show up. It's doing an empty or that would be very
00:07:42.100 it might the optics of that might feel a little weird like doing it just for the GOP. Yeah. Who
00:07:47.420 do you think wins? Right. Yeah. For the GOP. They'd all do you think we're showing up to do our we're
00:07:52.780 showing up to do our job. I just said the speech in the empty room is what I was picturing. But you're
00:07:57.560 right. If the GOP shows up, they're going to be clapping for everything. Oh, my gosh. Can you imagine
00:08:01.600 if if if Donald Trump, if Donald Trump had Ronald Reagan's skill, no president has had Ronald
00:08:09.360 Reagan's skill. But if Donald Trump had Ronald Reagan's skill in an empty chamber just to walk
00:08:17.280 in and himself go, Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States, and then they open up the doors
00:08:26.720 and it's just him and he's just walking down. He's got a lapel microphone and he just starts
00:08:32.340 talking to the American people as he's walking down that aisle and just says, look, the government
00:08:37.600 is closed because we can't do we can't do we can't get our act together on the border. We can't do
00:08:45.700 things that will protect you. So nobody showed up. But you know what? This is supposed to be a letter
00:08:54.260 anyway, to the to to Congress. So I wrote them a letter. I don't know if they're ever going to
00:08:59.620 read it because they don't really read stuff around here. I don't know if you've noticed that.
00:09:04.180 But I just wanted to sit and talk to you for a minute and then don't go behind that podium.
00:09:09.540 Just sit in one of the chairs that they normally sit in. Just don't don't sit with the American flag
00:09:15.320 or just kind of prop yourself up next to that podium and just say, so listen, I'm going to only keep
00:09:22.160 you for five minutes. This one has to happen. That would be epic. And then the five minutes
00:09:29.940 should be about term limits. All these people who didn't even bother to show up to do their jobs
00:09:34.820 today. All of them should be out. Get them out of here. They can't sit here and we're not going to
00:09:39.440 pay for the next hundred years. Like, yes, we want in fact, don't even talk about the border. Don't
00:09:44.300 talk about anything. Just say, look, I'm only going to keep you for five minutes. We can't get some
00:09:49.320 common sense stuff down that, you know, and honestly, your neighbors who are Democrats,
00:09:54.700 they know it, too. And they're sick of this. And I've seen the polling. There should be term
00:10:01.080 limits. There's term limits on me on the president, because nobody should have that much power for that
00:10:05.620 long. These people, some of these people have been here since 1973. Now, Ted Cruz has put together a
00:10:11.980 deal. And with your help, with your help, if I said this in front of them, you know, half the room
00:10:18.100 would stand up and applaud. The other half would would sit stoic. And if the last president would
00:10:24.700 have proposed what I'm proposing, they would have switched sides. But you want to know one thing,
00:10:29.700 it wouldn't happen. It wouldn't happen because it's a restriction on them. So I'm just asking you,
00:10:37.820 let's get this done. Yeah, it's among the most popular thing that is in public opinion. I mean,
00:10:45.020 it's something like 83% of people agree with term limits for Congress. You know, it's 80 is it is
00:10:52.160 more popular among Republicans by a decent margin than the border wall is. That's how popular term
00:10:57.840 limits are. And you're also getting in the mid 70s of Democrats who agree with it, talking about
00:11:03.000 getting people who could, you know, and I think cruises is worded, I believe, three terms in Congress
00:11:08.460 and two terms in the Senate. And then you're done. That's enough. That's you're there for it. That's
00:11:12.720 already 18 years. Yeah. And you could still run for president afterwards. Yeah. And there's plenty
00:11:17.840 of opportunity. I don't even think it should be that long for that 18 years. I mean, he's, he's,
00:11:23.260 I think, being pragmatic here and saying, you know, if you make it too short, no one's going to vote for
00:11:27.120 it. But still 18 years is plenty of time for you to be in the government. I mean, your working life is
00:11:32.480 from 20 to say eight, you know, 70. I'm sorry, you're talking about 20 to 60. This is talking
00:11:37.780 about your half your working life. This is one problem that we do have with the Constitution.
00:11:42.340 And that is, the Constitution was not written for a Congress that was seated year round.
00:11:48.660 The Constitution was written for a Congress that showed up in the summer and did a couple
00:11:51.980 months of work and then left and went and did real jobs and did real jobs. Yes. Okay.
00:11:56.240 Um, they should not have the power over their own salary and over their own jobs. I mean, look,
00:12:03.280 the president, you think the president would have ever said, yeah, you know what? Term limits on me.
00:12:08.760 Right. There needed to be someone who enforced it on the outside. Right. Right. Why are we expecting
00:12:14.380 these people who, who would say, you know what? I know I I'm here and I'm doing a great job right
00:12:20.820 now. And inside, you know, I'm really not doing a great job right now. Uh, but you say to
00:12:26.140 your boss, I'm doing a great job right now, but you know what? In 10 years, you should fire me.
00:12:31.300 No one would say that. And you know, every time you bring up term limits, there's somebody who says,
00:12:37.400 well, you know, they, the problem is that lobbyists will be in control. Have you watched
00:12:43.380 Washington lately? What do you think's happening now? These people are, have made 40 year relationships
00:12:48.120 with lobbyists who are writing the bills for them. At least it would be new people. They had to
00:12:53.180 convince again. Horrible. Horrible. Okay. Uh, we come back. I want to talk to you a little bit
00:12:59.200 about the women's movement. We've got a big monologue on this today. We've worked a couple
00:13:03.660 of weeks on the TV show for tonight to tell you really who these people are that are organizing the,
00:13:09.040 uh, uh, the women's movement. We're going to break for one minute, then right back into that.
00:13:14.080 I need your help on this, but first let me tell you our commercial sponsor is X chair,
00:13:19.100 xchairbeck.com. Stu, how do you like your chair? I love my X chair, Glenn. Difference between the
00:13:25.360 last chair that we had, which is a pretty good chair, uh, and this chair. Uh, it's immense.
00:13:30.940 It's a very big difference. And we sit here for hours every day because it's not only this,
00:13:35.180 it's meetings beforehand, it's meetings after, uh, and you spend a lot of time in a chair,
00:13:39.400 which most people do if you work in an office or if you have a home office and you're sitting there
00:13:43.100 over and over and over again, at the end of the day, your back hurts, you're, you know,
00:13:46.640 you're aching. You just want to stand up and do something different. You don't have that problem
00:13:50.180 with the X chair. You're comfortable. Uh, I have a bad back and sitting in a, an uncomfortable chair
00:13:56.820 or even a nice car without really good back support. I'm just toast. This is a great supportive chair.
00:14:03.640 Find out for yourself. Money back guarantee. It's X chair, xchairbeck, letter X, chairbeck.com,

00:14:20.040 code back, you're going to get a free foot rest as well. Xchairbeck.com. Let's break for 10 seconds
00:14:26.600 and right back into the show. Okay. So tonight we're doing a big deal on the women's March and who this,
00:14:41.240 who's really buying the women's March. And we've spent, we took a Kevin, one of our researchers
00:14:46.520 and writers and said, take a couple of weeks and really look at this. He came in this morning.
00:14:52.180 He's like, we could do literally a week's worth of shows behind all of the people that are involved
00:15:00.160 in this at the upper levels that are anti-Semitic and racist and just bad people. We're going to,
00:15:07.380 we've narrowed it down to the four leaders, the people that, who was it Time Magazine or I think
00:15:14.500 it was Time Magazine that said we're the, the people of the year. Fortune Magazine ranked three
00:15:21.780 of the four that we're going to do today as the world's greatest leaders just last year.
00:15:28.220 We're going to show you why. Not so much, not so much. This is not about being open, being honest,
00:15:37.960 being loving to everybody, making sure that we hold women up. You know, it's not, it's not,
00:15:45.840 it's about racism and anti-Semitism. And we're going to show you the videotape tonight. It'll blow your
00:15:51.820 mind tonight at five o'clock only on the blaze TV. But Stu was reading an article, uh, from,
00:15:58.200 uh, from a woman who said, look, the feminist thing that the Me Too movement is dead unless we
00:16:06.200 start looking at toxic femininity as well. And this is where we need you to participate. Uh,
00:16:12.500 if you are a woman, uh, and you are willing to, not somebody who identifies as a woman today,
00:16:18.940 please. Wow. That's hateful. You actually have to be an in the pants woman. You got to have them
00:16:26.140 lady parts, right? If you got them lady parts, call us up 888-727-2325, 888-727-BECK.
00:16:32.640 We have, we have several questions for you. Eight questions based on this survey. We're not going
00:16:37.080 to give them to you in advance. We're not going to ask your name. We won't give any identifiers.
00:16:41.040 We're going to just call you your caller number one, two, three, four, five. Uh, and we want you to be
00:16:46.060 really honest and answer these questions that, uh, this author says until we actually address toxic
00:16:55.140 femininity, we won't go, we won't get anywhere. Yeah. It's interesting. And by the way, you don't
00:17:00.340 have to say that you've done any of the things we're asking about. It's someone that you have
00:17:03.420 personal knowledge with it, your circle of friends, someone who's going to be somebody you actually
00:17:08.260 know. Not like, Oh yeah, I have a friend who told me a story. No, it's either you or someone,
00:17:13.400 you know. Um, so, uh, it's Megan Dom. She writes in medium. Um, she asked these questions
00:17:19.800 and posts them and then says in a hypothetical gathering of every woman I've ever known or
00:17:23.380 encountered, I'm imagining a football stadium at decent capacity. I'm certain there's not
00:17:27.820 a single one of these questions that if answered honestly, wouldn't send hands in the air, including
00:17:31.880 my own. We all hear too much, uh, about toxic masculinity. The term that refers to the way
00:17:38.420 traits like aggression and emotional repression are baked into male social norms. It also frequently
00:17:43.160 shows up in online feminism as lazy shorthand for registering disapproval of just about anything
00:17:48.200 men do at all. But when are we going to grant equal rights to women and admit that toxic femininity
00:17:54.040 also exists and can be just as poisonous? We've established that men are socially, uh, conditioned
00:17:59.700 to think that women owe them sex. But what about the women that assume that men should be grateful
00:18:05.640 for any sex they get? Throughout my life, I've heard countless men tell stories about going ahead
00:18:10.540 with sex, even though they didn't really want to. Sometimes it was because they didn't want to hurt
00:18:15.140 a woman's feelings or other times it was because they feared being perceived as having a low sex
00:18:19.100 drive. A remarkable number of men have told me about times when women approached them often
00:18:24.240 wordlessly and initiated sexual encounters without the slightest provocation or questions asked.
00:18:29.000 In some cases, probably a lot of cases, uh, the men were happy to oblige the women's desires.
00:18:34.460 In other cases though, they went through with the encounters because they didn't want to make an
00:18:38.120 awkward situation even more awkward. These stories have been relayed to me in a tone that I can only
00:18:42.700 describe as bafflement. The men are not complaining, but they're not boasting. If anything, they seem to
00:18:48.500 be struggling to find the words to describe a not entirely welcome encounter that they felt that
00:18:54.300 they had no right to regard with anything other than gratitude. Needless to say, if you imagined any of
00:19:00.300 these situations with the genders reversed, you'd have the potential for a very different framing.
00:19:05.100 She was on and on to talk about this and, and I find it amazing. I think the thing that gets lost in
00:19:11.220 these ridiculous gender battles, and I think we saw example of it the other day too, with the radio show
00:19:15.620 where the CNN, um, uh, analyst, uh, accused the black host of having white privilege, uh, because he was
00:19:23.300 conservative. And it's like, there's just this reflexive thing. Anytime a guy does something wrong,
00:19:28.260 oh, it's toxic masculinity. And instead of just realizing and admitting something that we all know
00:19:34.720 is that people are awful a lot, regardless of their gender. Sometimes people are awful. We've all known
00:19:41.780 awful people of our gender, and we've all known awful people of the other gender and approximately 48 of
00:19:47.920 the other 64 genders. We've all known people, including women who have done really shady things.
00:19:56.260 And you know where I hear it most from? Oh, women. Women are the people who always have examples of
00:20:01.560 their friend that they don't really like, but, and they, they had to deal with their nonsense about
00:20:06.860 how they did something to a boyfriend they shouldn't have, or they lied about this, or they treated,
00:20:11.940 you know, they, they did. And we'll give you the examples here in a moment, but all sorts of things
00:20:17.020 that, that use their femininity to their advantage to try to take advantage of somebody else.
00:20:23.080 Should we just, we just start asking some of these questions. We have some callers instead of
00:20:26.520 taking them all at once, we take them one at a time. Uh, let me go to, uh, let me go to person number
00:20:32.320 five, please. Um, and we don't want you to identify yourself in any way because we, we want to make sure
00:20:39.100 you can answer, uh, honestly, uh, welcome to the program. How are you? Thank you. Good. Thanks.
00:20:46.060 How are you? All right, good. We're going to ask you, I think it's eight questions. Should we,
00:20:50.880 because we only have about a minute here and we have the eight questions. If we give them away,
00:20:54.940 then I think we need to have the multiple people on. You're thinking that the people won't.
00:20:58.960 Well, no, I just, I think it's, it's interesting to hear the initial reactions rather than people
00:21:02.360 preparing for the answers. Okay. All right. Hold on one second. Person number five. We're going to come
00:21:07.640 back then. Uh, I, I just think it would, cause I haven't, I have questions on all of these because
00:21:12.860 you went through them and about a third of them. I was like, no way, no way anybody ever did that.
00:21:17.460 And that's that you're just, and you're like, you're totally naive. Yeah, I am. I am just,
00:21:22.600 I am so clueless to be fair to Glenn. He didn't talk to a girl until about 32. Uh, so, uh, that's
00:21:28.720 very, very, very true. So I, uh, I am completely in the dark on this one. Uh, I I'm, I'm really
00:21:39.880 excited to hear what this audience will admit to either on themselves or that they know of people.
00:21:49.840 And it has to, again, it has to be firsthand. Yeah. Not an urban legend from your town.
00:21:55.260 No, right. Like it needs to be, Oh, I know this girl. So I went to school with her and everybody
00:21:59.840 talked. No, no, no. Your friend that you've known for a long time, admitted to you that this is what
00:22:07.600 they did or that you did it. That's why we don't want any identifiers on there. We need you to be
00:22:13.360 completely honest. And about a third of these, I've got questions. I've got questions. We'll go to
00:22:21.280 that when we come back in just a minute on the Glenn Beck program.
00:22:29.920 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:23:47.020 The toxic femininity problem in America. Is it actually an issue? By the way, if you're hearing
00:23:55.600 hammering and saws, it's actually four stories above me. Uh, we've had to, uh, replace the roof
00:24:02.880 of our studio complex and it's, it's, it's a massive complex. It's going to take us about 90
00:24:09.100 days. And, uh, uh, and so you will hear things in the background. Unfortunately, I apologize for
00:24:16.520 this. It's not Jeffy having a moment. Yeah, I know. Last night we were doing, uh, one of the shows and
00:24:21.900 it sounded like we had piled a bunch of, you know, lactose intolerant elephants up on the roof.
00:24:27.200 Uh, but anyway, um, toxic femininity. There is a, uh, there's an article on medium that talks about
00:24:37.360 from a woman who says, if I got a group of my friends together and they, they all talked about,
00:24:44.300 uh, the truth, they would all answer yes to most, if not all of these questions.
00:24:50.800 I find this hard to believe, but we have now, we have 12 people on the phone. They're from the
00:24:57.380 ages of 35 to 70. It may be different below 35, but we'll see. Um, this group is 35 to 70 years old,
00:25:08.120 12 different people. Can we conference call all of them together? Do we have the technology? Do we
00:25:14.060 have the technology? I'm not sure. Now here's the thing. I did this in the studio as we put,
00:25:18.780 as we put all of them together, ladies, please do not identify yourself in any way other than your
00:25:25.260 number. Uh, and, uh, because some of the questions get a little dicey and we just want to make sure
00:25:30.580 that nobody is revealing anything that everybody else goes, what? Uh, so here we go. We're going to
00:25:36.340 start from number one to number 12. Don't identify yourself in any way, but we just want an honest,
00:25:41.500 honest answer on these questions. Here's question. Number one, have you ever behaved badly and blamed it
00:25:48.420 on your period? Uh, number one, or you are somebody that, you know, no, no. Number two.
00:26:00.020 Number two. Are you there? Yes. The answer is no. The answer is no. Number three. Absolutely.
00:26:07.020 Thank you. I was going to remind you you're under oath. Okay. Number four. No. Uh, number five.
00:26:16.280 No. Now remember, we're saying anyone you've ever known. Yeah. Anyone who you have personal.
00:26:22.000 Okay. Yes. Okay. Maybe we should. Okay. So wait, let's do this again. You or someone you personally
00:26:28.200 know, not, and they gotta be a friend. Yeah. So let's just start at the beginning again.
00:26:32.680 You have ever, ever done something and blamed it on your period. You or someone who is firsthand
00:26:39.900 knowledge. Very close. Yes or no. Number one. Don't listen to the radio, please. Listen to the phone.
00:26:49.580 Number one. Number two. Yes. Yes. Number three. Absolutely. Number four. Yes. Number five.
00:27:02.680 Yes. Number six. No. Number seven. Yes. Number eight. Yes. Nine. Oh yeah. 10. Number 10.
00:27:19.820 Definitely. Definitely. Number 11. Yes. Okay. So nine of 11 on that one. Nine of 11. Here's question
00:27:28.280 number two. Have you or anyone you have personal knowledge of in your circle of friends?
00:27:32.680 I ever acted helpless in the face of an unpleasant, if not physically demanding task, like dealing
00:27:38.240 with a wild animal that's gotten inside the house? Number one. No. Number one says, I think
00:27:46.500 no. I'm losing number one. Number two. Yes. Three. You bet. I'm in love with three.
00:27:55.400 I have two. Number four. Number four. Oh, that's me. I'm sorry. That's me. Yes. Not me, but somebody
00:28:06.000 else. Yes. Okay. Number five. Yes. Yes, for sure. Number six. Yes. Seven. Yes. Eight. Absolutely. Nine. Not me, but somebody
00:28:20.860 else. Ten. Sam's going to stretch here. Number 11. Yes. Yes. Okay. We are talking to 11 women
00:28:31.380 age 35 to 70, asking them questions about toxic femininity. Question three. Okay. They're
00:28:38.660 going to get a little bit, a little bit harder here. A little dicey. Have you, have you, you
00:28:43.360 or anyone in your circle of friends, coerced a man into sex even though he didn't really
00:28:48.940 seem to want it? Number one. I think we've lost number one. I think we've lost number one.
00:28:55.640 Number two. No way. Number three. Probably have made a sport out of it. Number four. No. Five. Never. Six.
00:29:13.360 No. Seven. Not that I recall. Number eight. No way. Nine. Not yet, but I'm newly
00:29:26.100 single, so I'm on a bubble on this one for a few months down the road. Number 10. Number
00:29:34.260 10. Yes. Yes. Number 11. All my men wanted it. All right. Well, again, you can blame this
00:29:43.120 on your awful friends. It's totally fine. Yeah. You don't have to admit to it yourself.
00:29:47.160 Right. That's it. All right. Okay. Next one. Have you or anyone in your circle of friends
00:29:53.640 over your life thought you were at liberty to do some sort of coercing because men always
00:29:59.440 wanted and should feel lucky anytime they get it? No. That's number one? Yes. Number two? Yes.
00:30:08.120 Number three. Come on. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Hands down.
00:30:18.040 I've got to. We have to have another conversation with number three. We need to set up a podcast
00:30:23.000 with number three. Right. Number four. I don't understand the question. Could you? Yes. Go ahead.
00:30:29.180 So a lot of this goes back to the coercing. If you don't know anyone who's ever coerced someone
00:30:34.780 or, you know, you kind of prodded them into sex, even though you weren't sure they were
00:30:38.840 necessarily that much into it. Did you justify that as, you know, men always wanted and they
00:30:44.120 should be lucky anytime that they get it? Yes. Okay. Number five. No. Six. Yes. Seven. Yes. Eight. Seven and four.
00:30:59.180 Seven and three should never get together. They'd be driving off a cliff at the end of that movie.
00:31:05.740 Eight. Nine.
00:31:10.900 Absolutely. Yeah. And you, you are an instigator as well. Number 10.
00:31:18.840 No, not so much. Okay. And number 11.
00:31:21.640 Absolutely. Wow. Okay. That was one of those that I thought, no, no, I mean, I can't, I mean,
00:31:29.900 I could see it occasionally. What was the score on that? What was the six out of the 11 said yes to
00:31:34.040 that six out of the 11. Um, okay. Uh, next up, have you, or you can absolutely blame someone else in
00:31:40.100 your circle of friends. If you've ever, uh, threatened to harm yourself, if a brand, uh, a man breaks up
00:31:45.440 with you or doesn't want to see you anymore. Do you remember this from high school or college you or
00:31:50.420 someone else? Number one. No way. Number two. Oh, at the ripe age of 15. Yes. Number three.
00:32:02.320 Not a chance. Number four. No. Five. No, never. Six. That was, I just did that last week.
00:32:12.840 Number seven. No. Eight. No way. Nine. Hell no, but I had it done to me.
00:32:25.240 Ten. By a woman or by a man? By a man. Okay. Uh, number, uh, I did 10, 11.
00:32:34.140 No, no man's that important. Good for you.
00:32:36.760 I actually skipped 10. Oh, did I skip 10? Number 10. I've known a couple people. Yes.
00:32:42.120 Yeah. Okay. Let's see. What happened to 12? Oh, do we have 12? You said you did. Oh, well,
00:32:48.880 we only have 11. I'm looking up and I thought we had 12, but we only have 11. Okay. Next
00:32:53.220 what? Now these are going to get, uh, they can, they can be, these can be harsh. Again, think
00:32:57.260 about back in your life, the friends that you've had, maybe made questionable choices. I know
00:33:01.680 we've all had these friends, but this is, we're going to get a little tough here. Um,
00:33:05.480 any of these people that you've known in your life been physically abusive with a male partner,
00:33:09.540 knowing you'd be unlikely to face any legal consequences? Wow. Oh, never. Okay. There's
00:33:16.260 number one. Number two. No. Three. Yes. Well, I won't ask. That's not, you're not your role
00:33:26.000 here. I know. I know. I know. Number four. No. Five. No, never. Six. Just pushing them
00:33:34.740 down the stairs count. Yes, it does. Six. Uh, seven. I do know one person. Yes. Uh, eight.
00:33:45.560 I know one person saw the evidence after it was over. Yes. Nine. Does it count if you've been
00:33:53.020 drinking? Yes. Yes, it does. Yes. Said the judge. Yes. Uh, number, uh, that was number
00:34:00.240 nine. Nine. Number 10. Number nine. What did you say? Number 10. I know we're anonymous,
00:34:06.060 but it was not me, but I do know someone. Okay. Number 11. Yes. Wow. Wow. That was a lot
00:34:12.960 higher than I expected. Uh, okay. Two more guys. And you're doing a great job of blaming all
00:34:18.520 your friends for everything. I know. Uh, okay. Have you or anyone in your circle of friends
00:34:22.900 lied about being on birth control or afraid faked a pregnancy scare to see how a man would
00:34:28.880 respond? Absolutely not. Okay. Number two. Absolutely not. Three. Never. Four. No. Five. Yes.
00:34:44.380 Okay. Six. Nobody has friends because I, this is what I feel is common. Yeah. I know somebody
00:34:50.100 who's done this. I would have said this one was 15 out of 11. Yeah. Me too. Uh, where
00:34:54.180 are we at? Number six. Yeah. I had a friend that did that one. Uh, number seven. No. Eight.
00:35:01.440 No way. Nine. Good Lord. No. Ten. Quite a few actually. Yeah. Eleven. Yes. I thought that would
00:35:14.120 be a lot higher. Yeah. This is so common. It even happened on the documentary, the office,
00:35:18.040 uh, which wasn't a documentary. Uh, and then finally, uh, okay, this is again, you or your
00:35:23.800 circle of friends, uh, has any of it, have every of them ever manipulated a divorce or a
00:35:28.900 child custody dispute in your favor or in their favor, uh, by falsely insinuating that
00:35:33.780 a man had been abusive to you or your child? Again, your circle of friends would count in
00:35:38.360 this as well. After 41 years, no way. You have good friends. Uh, number two. No. Three.
00:35:47.040 Not for me and truly not for anybody I know. Four. I say no, but I bet the liberals will answer
00:35:55.280 these questions much differently than us. Uh, yeah. You know, I was, I was just thinking
00:36:01.600 that I think with a younger group, it may be different with those under 35, uh, and also
00:36:10.040 I think with, uh, with a, a group of different, you know, set of values. Uh, okay. So what
00:36:16.460 number we were at? Number five, I think. Yeah. Number five. Uh, yes, but it was reverse.
00:36:21.500 It was a man who was doing it to the woman. Okay. That doesn't count. Okay. Uh, number six.
00:36:26.280 No. No. No. Uh, number seven. No. Eight. No. And if they did, they would no longer be
00:36:37.100 my friend. Good for you. Good for you. Nine. I, I echo her sentiments exactly. So no. Uh,
00:36:45.020 thanks dear. Ten. You're welcome. Yep. Ditto. Uh, and 11. Yes. So can I, can I ask just
00:36:53.980 11 was yes? Yes. Okay. She said, um, can I ask, um, do you believe that toxic femininity
00:37:01.300 exists? Ladies? You can just. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. 100%. Women can be. All right. All right.
00:37:14.280 All right. Ladies. It was a yes or no question. This isn't a party line. Please define, please
00:37:22.120 define for me. What is toxic femininity. I think that I think the things, the things
00:37:28.240 that they're saying about toxic masculinity, that there are guys that are jerks and will
00:37:34.520 use their self-centered. They'll do whatever they want to get what they want. I think that
00:37:40.560 is not a male problem. It's like racism. It's a human problem.
00:37:45.320 Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. Absolutely.
00:37:47.160 Absolutely. Over the age of 40 fans.
00:37:49.320 All right. Here we go. All right. Full sentences will not work in this format. We got a break,
00:37:53.900 but thank you. That was great. Ladies, hang on the phone. I want to send each of you,
00:37:57.180 give the producer your name. I want to send each of you an autographed, uh, copy of my new
00:38:01.220 book. Uh, but thank you for being on. So stand by. That was very interesting. Very interesting
00:38:06.560 to hear that. Fascinating. Fascinating. And to the author's credit, Megan Dom's credit,
00:38:11.140 we got a yes at least for every single one of them. And some of them unanimously. Yes.
00:38:15.340 When we come back, we'll run down those, uh, yes or no. We'll give the scores, final score
00:38:19.100 on each of them. All right. Our sponsor this half hour is Relief Factor. Relief Factor has
00:38:24.380 helped me live my life, uh, in the last year. Um, look, I, I know constant pain. I know, uh,
00:38:31.620 pain that just, just does not go away. And I am, uh, you know, um, there's somebody who,
00:38:38.360 um, it was, uh, Eric bowling who is against opioids. I am not when there, there's no reason
00:38:44.420 for anybody to be in pain in today's world anymore, but everything comes with a price.
00:38:49.600 I personally am not willing to pay the opioid price. I have, I'm an alcoholic and I, I know
00:38:56.160 me. Uh, and so I guard everything that I put into my body. And when I have to take
00:39:01.580 like an opioid to kill pain, I got, they're in a safe. I don't have them. My wife has
00:39:06.500 to dispense. Um, I don't want to live that way. And I also can't live in pain. I tried
00:39:12.160 Relief Factor a year ago. It worked. Try it for three weeks. It'll cost you $20 to try
00:39:16.880 it. But I'm telling you, if it works for you, if it works for you, like it does for
00:39:21.260 me, that's the best $20 you'll ever spend. So Relief Factor, it's a, it's about a dollar
00:39:28.060 a day to take it. You take it three times a day. Relief Factor, please try it and get
00:39:32.480 your life back. ReliefFactor.com. That's ReliefFactor.com or call 800-500-8384. 800-500-8384. ReliefFactor.com.
00:39:47.540 Okay. We just asked, uh, we just asked 11 women, toxic femininity. Can you summarize quickly
00:39:53.100 here in the minute we have? Yeah. The circle of friends as well. A nine out of 11 had behaved
00:39:57.040 badly and blamed it on their period. All 11 had said they had used their femininity
00:40:00.960 to get out of a tough task. Uh, two out of 11 said they had coerced men into sex. Six
00:40:05.880 of the 11 said them or their friends had, uh, done coercing because, uh, men always want
00:40:11.640 it. Three of the 11 said they had threatened to harm themselves if a man broke up with them.
00:40:16.160 Six of 11 said they were abusive with a male partner, knowing they wouldn't get any consequences.
00:40:20.620 Four out of 11 said they were, they had lied about being on birth control or faked a pregnancy
00:40:24.660 scale. And one out of 11 said they had manipulated a divorce or child custody dispute in their
00:40:28.980 favor by claiming abuse. Unbelievable. Also, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half
00:40:35.780 hour. It is, um, it's Mercury Real Estate. Um, it's, it's, uh, realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:40:43.040 Yeah. It's one of these things that there are a lot of real estate referral services, but 99%
00:40:47.380 of them are set up to just help realtors get clients. And this one is really set up the opposite
00:40:51.980 way. I know you started this company. I don't really have to tell you this Glenn, but there's
00:40:55.200 the idea of, Hey, like what if we can help the people trying to buy and sell houses so
00:41:00.460 they can find the best agents rather than just making it some advertising because you
00:41:03.860 don't really know when you're hiring an agent, you don't even know the questions to ask.
00:41:07.020 One of them is what's your marketing plan. What's your marketing plan. I don't care about
00:41:11.140 your face on a bus stop. What's your marketing plan for my house. So we found the best people
00:41:16.140 that can sell your house. We have a thousand agents over a thousand agents nationwide. They can
00:41:20.280 help you sell your house on time for the most amount of money. Call, uh, and get in contact
00:41:25.480 with us now. Realestateagentsitrust.com. That's realestateagentsitrust.com.
00:41:33.900 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:41:40.840 Just a few questions. Self-reflection. When you ask what, what's happened to us? What's happened
00:41:47.620 to us? Are you even willing to ask yourself, am I a patriot or a partisan?
00:41:53.560 Do you politicize almost everything in almost every circumstance or you offended when others
00:41:58.560 tried to do that? Are you articulate in what you've, what you're actually for better than
00:42:06.320 you are condemning what you think you're against? Is your excuse for constantly being betrayed by
00:42:12.100 the Republicans that you helped elect? Uh, and, and it's that stupid party that gets into the way,
00:42:18.980 not the person you helped to elect. There's a new book out called truth bombs. It's by Steve
00:42:24.740 Dace. We begin with him in one minute.
00:42:28.100 This is the Glenn Beck program. So in about 30 minutes, we have, uh, Justin Wheeler on. He is my
00:42:38.700 econ guy. Uh, and, uh, he is, he's going to give you the state of the union and the state of the
00:42:46.720 economy here in a nutshell in, in, in just a, in just a few minutes and give you a couple of things
00:42:52.080 that you may not know about. For instance, did you know, in the last four days, you know, we have
00:42:58.380 the, uh, bank bailouts and, uh, then we had, uh, the, um, the, the fed giving more money every month.
00:43:07.600 We were doing about 80, uh, $80 billion, $80 billion a month, $80 billion a month. Um, and that's
00:43:15.600 the fed just printing up money. We got up to about $7 trillion. I think we're now down to about 4 trillion.
00:43:22.080 That's still out there. Uh, well, yeah, yes. China just did something in the last four days.
00:43:29.620 Uh, they just pumped in $50 trillion into their economy in the last four days. They're in trouble.
00:43:40.020 What does that mean? We'll tell you in a minute. I will tell you that everyone is devaluing their
00:43:46.300 money. This is not going to last. It just, it doesn't last. It's never in the history of
00:43:52.060 the world ever worked. Uh, now maybe we've taken some genius pills, but I'm watching the people in
00:43:58.620 the banks and I'm watching the people in Washington and people in China and Germany and England and
00:44:03.820 everywhere else. And I don't see any evidence that they've taken genius pills. So what happens?
00:44:10.340 Well, one of the things you need to know about is cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. And we've asked,
00:44:14.840 uh, uh, uh, an investment advisor. And one of the best guys on cryptocurrency out there
00:44:20.900 is Tika Tiwari. Um, he talks to the people who are actually the movers and shakers in this,
00:44:28.220 and he can explain what cryptocurrency is, how it's used, what the future looks like,
00:44:33.960 what blockchain is, how it's going to change lives, not talking about investing, talking
00:44:39.700 about understanding the future. Take the smart crypto course right now and understand the future
00:44:45.800 smart crypto course.com, or you can call 877 PBL back 877 PBL back. It's smart crypto course.com.
00:44:54.980 Boy, I tell you, it's been a big week here at the blaze TV yesterday. Uh, we announced Chad
00:45:09.560 Prather is, uh, joining the blaze TV lineup, which is going to be great called humor me. It's a new
00:45:15.900 show. He's a musician and comedian. He sells out shows all across the country. Uh, if you haven't
00:45:21.920 heard of Chad Prather, um, he's one of these new, uh, stars that, you know, just kind of like,
00:45:27.420 why is there a giant crowd of 20,000 people across the street? Uh, Chad Prather. Yeah. Really
00:45:33.020 funny guy. Yeah. Really funny. Really nice guy. Common sense. He's kind of the Will Rogers of our
00:45:38.160 side and of our time. Uh, and, uh, and he's joining us. We announced that yesterday and also
00:45:45.080 Matt Kibbe has a brand new, uh, program. That's the libertarian bent of blaze TV. That's just one of
00:45:51.560 the libertarian bent. Uh, and we also have, uh, Steven Crowder returning for a brand new season
00:45:57.940 today. And Steve Dace has put out a new book called truth bombs, which, uh, Steve, the reaction
00:46:06.800 to truth bombs. Do people want the truth? Yes and no. I think where we're at now, um, you know,
00:46:17.620 with, with Trump listening to conservative media and going back to his original pledge,
00:46:23.540 not to sign another continuing resolution and forcing this confrontation and watching how the
00:46:29.680 Republican party never wanted this confrontation in mass whatsoever. Yes. I think the timing of that
00:46:36.320 is almost serendipitous to providential because I think there's a new audience for the message of
00:46:42.520 this book Glenn that probably wouldn't have existed even six months ago. Yeah. I think that, um, while
00:46:48.400 there's lots of things that Donald Trump has done that we like, we never really got to the root of
00:46:53.620 the problem that the Republican party, they didn't want to, they'd, none of them wanted to get rid of
00:46:58.960 Obamacare. None of them really wanted to do anything about the border. It's just a game that they continue
00:47:04.960 to play with us over and over and over again. And they usually have no spine, but because Donald Trump
00:47:11.040 listens to the people, I think, um, he has stood strong on this and knew I'm toast if I don't.
00:47:18.980 And I think it's opening up a whole new world. When I wrote this book, I, you know, I, I, I did it.
00:47:25.540 I wanted to minimize Trump's role in this, in this drama intentionally, because I don't, I don't think
00:47:31.380 the cake has changed. You know, I say this on my daily show on the blaze all the time, the cake is still
00:47:35.880 the same. We just have this zany new frosting on top of it called Trump, right? The same political cake
00:47:40.780 that it's always been. And so I spent one chapter in the book. I go into all of my history with Trump,
00:47:46.160 how he tried to woo me to support him early in his presidential run. And I did that on purpose
00:47:50.400 because one of the major themes in this book is Trump is neither the problem nor the solution.
00:47:55.880 He is the symptom. The Frankenstein's monster doesn't create itself. If Trump is everything
00:48:02.320 his detractors claim he is, Glenn, he can only be in the position he is in right now. If the system
00:48:08.640 is everything guys like you and I were saying, it was before Trump ever came down that escalator,
00:48:13.940 he exploited what the system has become to his own advantage. And he speaks for a base of people,
00:48:20.560 you know, for most of his adult and public life, Trump has been one of the fair haired set.
00:48:26.320 And now he's watched as they've turned on him. The Jay-Z's, the LeBron's, the Snoop Dogg,
00:48:32.400 the people that couldn't wait to get their picture taken with him before. The minute he put an R after
00:48:36.700 his name and spoke directly to the values of Main Street America, and whether he did it because he
00:48:41.400 believed it or political opportunism or a little bit of both, it didn't matter. Once he provided a
00:48:46.680 platform to Main Street America, suddenly all these people turned on him because it isn't about Trump.
00:48:52.720 It's about the hatred for the base of everyday Americans that he represents. And the only in
00:48:58.400 my 10 plus years of working full time in political activism on campaigns from president to school
00:49:03.680 board, I've learned one truth among many that stands above the rest. And that's this, the only
00:49:09.360 political party in America that hates everyday Americans, conservatives, orthodox religious believers
00:49:15.640 more than the Democrats are the Republicans.
00:49:18.040 What makes you say that?
00:49:24.040 Look at the way they behave. And in this book, I knew people were going to ask questions when I
00:49:28.640 made statements like that. So there's 10 pages of footnotes in this book. There's over 140 footnotes
00:49:33.780 in this book. To borrow a biblical phrase so that no one is with, no one is without, or no one has an
00:49:39.860 excuse. Okay. So the reality is, look at the way they behave. In fact, let's just go to the,
00:49:44.740 I could point out primaries, how they always come out harder after us than they do Democrats.
00:49:49.480 But let's just look at what Mitt Romney did the day he arrived in Washington as a would-be senator
00:49:54.240 before he was sworn in. So, so this is a guy that goes to work every day in the Senate and, and,
00:49:59.920 and surrounding him are people who think it's a great idea and enlightened to take a pair of
00:50:04.620 forceps, shove them up a woman's uterus, essentially attach them to the skull of her child,
00:50:11.060 penetrate it, smash it, so they then can vacuum out the baby's brains and the rest of its parts limb
00:50:16.560 by limb. And, and now his, his concern is, is Trump's, he has nothing to say, all those problems that all
00:50:23.900 those people represent, he's silent. But now Trump's problems are the ones that he needs to address
00:50:29.620 immediately in the pages of the Washington Post. Trump's moral problems are well-documented,
00:50:35.140 but the reality is Trump's moral problems right now aren't getting in the way of you and me earning
00:50:40.580 a paycheck or living in a society that is worthy of passing on to our children. People that want to
00:50:46.100 suck the brains out of little babies, their lack of integrity and their moral problems, they're the
00:50:50.620 ones getting in the way of that. And so here we see Mitt Romney in the last two weeks has gone
00:50:55.320 harder after Donald Trump than he did the entire final six months of the general election campaign
00:51:00.420 go after Barack Obama. And we have seen this pattern over and over again, because Democrats
00:51:06.060 inspire their base to get what they want, Glenn. Republicans conspire against their base to get
00:51:11.540 what they want. The Republicans want to beat Democrats in elections, just not for the same
00:51:16.140 reasons we want to beat them. And in the end, if the choice is losing the Democrats or losing control
00:51:21.120 of the Republican Party, they will choose losing the Democrats. And I'll make one final point on
00:51:25.320 this. Look at the never Trump thing that you and I were originally part of. So most big guys like
00:51:30.060 you, me, Shapiro, Erickson, there was a group of us who like this guy's moral problems are way too
00:51:36.020 high to gamble that he'll provide any conservative return on investment whatsoever. It's not worth
00:51:41.720 risking the Capitol. Well, what we're finding out now that Trump has actually moved more to the
00:51:45.760 right than we ever thought as president. Look at the bill crystals. Look at the people that populate
00:51:50.340 CNN and MSNBC. And what you're going to find is with their complaints about Trump's boorish behavior
00:51:55.880 were a camouflage, a cover. Most of our old never Trump movement were people that were actually
00:52:00.960 never conservative. I would agree with you on that wholeheartedly. And you know, because those
00:52:11.060 people will not say anything good about him. If look, my concerns, and I said this on the air,
00:52:17.800 my concern was, I don't think he's going to do any of these things because he's never shown a
00:52:23.500 willingness to stand up to those kinds of things and stand up and fight for him. That's not
00:52:29.260 who he's ever been, but he is listening. He is. I will tell you this. I think this president
00:52:37.180 might be the biggest servant president we have had in, in the last 20 years, perhaps maybe George
00:52:49.080 Bush. But what I mean is, and no, I can't even say George Bush listening, listening to the people
00:52:57.060 who voted for him. I don't think he wanted to shut down the government. I don't think he wanted to do
00:53:02.120 all of this. That wasn't his first instinct, but he saw the writing on the wall and he realized
00:53:07.680 that's not, that's what they put me in for. Okay. I'm going to stand. And you know, the people are
00:53:14.020 telling him every day, you're losing your shirt. I don't think he is. I think he's actually,
00:53:18.820 I think he's actually winning because no one has ever stood with the people against the system.
00:53:28.380 I agree with that. And you know, I've said this before, let me say it again. And since Reagan left
00:53:37.040 the national stage and Reagan left the national stage in January of 1989, I was not yet legal to
00:53:43.820 get a driver's license. And I have a senior in high school, oldest child right now. And so we're still
00:53:48.620 talking about Reagan and that's a generation before even Al Gore invented the internet to tell you,
00:53:54.440 and I bring that up to point out that what you and I are talking about is true because
00:53:57.780 I would argue since Reagan left the national stage for all his faults, and I don't hide from any of
00:54:03.200 Trump's faults. I don't know what in the Sam Hill Rudy Giuliani was doing on CNN last night. I don't
00:54:07.640 know what that was. Okay. I don't know why he hired guys like Paul Manafort who were complete,
00:54:12.980 you know, Putin clowns. I don't know the answers to those questions, but here's what I do know.
00:54:17.640 The only Republican in a leadership position in the last 25 years that has even been the slightest
00:54:23.600 sensitive to sympathetic to the core concerns of the average Republican-based voter is Donald Trump,
00:54:30.860 not the two Bushes that were president, not McRomney, the previous two presidential nominees,
00:54:37.820 not McConnell, not McCarthy, not Scalise, not Paul. All we did with Paul Reiner and John Boehner,
00:54:43.280 Glenn, we traded a chain smoker for a CrossFitter, but we got everything else.
00:54:46.980 So he's the only guy that cares what we think. And this is why, if you're wondering why are people
00:54:53.160 so loyal to him, there is a political cult aspect to it, and all politicians have it,
00:54:57.640 and I've talked about that too. But a lot of it is, as we just saw before Christmas,
00:55:02.120 if Rush Limbaugh goes on the air and trashes Kevin McCarthy, he's not doing a dang thing.
00:55:08.520 He did it to Donald Trump, and dude said, you know what, we're going to have to reverse course here.
00:55:13.420 He's the only one who cares what we think, Glenn. He's the only one.
00:55:17.280 I agree with you, Steve. I actually agree with you. I don't think Donald Trump is the leader in
00:55:23.420 the traditional sense, but I don't think that necessarily that's what America wants anymore.
00:55:29.080 Right now, they want someone who will listen to them, because I think the common sense of the
00:55:36.680 average person is better than any leader that I have found. And for all of his faults,
00:55:42.600 he is listening to his people and to America. And I think that with all of his faults,
00:55:51.640 that's exactly what we may need at this time to be able to save the Republic.
00:55:57.060 More with Steve Dace and Truth Bombs in just a second.
00:56:01.040 First, we have cleared out all the commercials in this hour. We've said those long commercial breaks.
00:56:06.520 We just wanted to stop for a minute at a time. So let me just stop for just a quick minute and then
00:56:12.100 right back to Steve. It is blinds.com. Blinds.com will help you with your window coverings,
00:56:18.960 whether you want shades, shutters, drapes. It doesn't matter what you need. They have you
00:56:24.940 covered and they have your windows covered. And the least expensive way to make the biggest impact
00:56:30.920 and transform the look of your home is with window coverings.
00:56:34.980 It is. We experienced this with our home. And you just put these in. We talked to blinds.com,
00:56:41.920 went through a bunch of different options. They actually talked us out of the most expensive
00:56:44.680 option. They're like, yeah, that one, I think this next best one is going to actually give you
00:56:49.240 better quality for less money. And they were right. I mean, it totally changed the room.
00:56:54.740 It's like my favorite room in the house now. And largely, that's because of blinds.com.
00:56:58.460 Yeah. Blinds.com. Uh, they're the best and the, uh, uh, and the, I think the biggest, uh,
00:57:05.280 online window covering, uh, location, uh, for a reason because they've been doing it since,
00:57:11.860 since Al Gore was saying it's the information super highway. They've been online. Uh, they know
00:57:18.460 how to get it right. They'll help you every step of the way. It's blinds.com slash back. Go there.
00:57:24.400 Now blinds.com slash back. We break for 10 seconds. Station ID.
00:57:39.700 So Steve back with Steve days and he's written the book, um, truth bomb. Let's go over. Uh,
00:57:50.120 I think your book is really important because we have to prepare ourselves for 2020 and 2024.
00:57:57.800 Um, and I think these parties are imploding, but people will say I've, and you cover this in your
00:58:05.580 book. You gotta vote for the, the Republican, you know, it's too hard for a third party. And you take
00:58:11.740 those things apart. Start with a third party. The number one reason we don't have a third party
00:58:18.920 that, and there's other reasons I didn't say it was the only one, but the number one reason we don't
00:58:23.000 is there's just too much damn money to be made chilling and pimping the Republican party. That's
00:58:27.320 why. Uh, and that's just the reality. Careers get made. Um, uh, food gets put on the table. Uh,
00:58:33.920 there are whole people that, um, what's this is I'm thinking of, uh, is it Manu Rajay? I believe
00:58:40.180 is his name. He's essentially Mitch McConnell's stenographer. I mean, he essentially walks into
00:58:44.640 Mitch McConnell's office. He tells him what to write, what to say, what today's lead is from GOP
00:58:48.960 Senate leadership. And that's a quote unquote story. And this goes on. And we have too many
00:58:53.900 conservative blogs that are essentially, uh, facsimiles and stenographers for certain donor
00:58:59.280 blocks of the Republican party or factions of the GOP. And this has devolved into the click
00:59:04.440 servitive, uh, you know, notion that we've seen in the last few years, there's just too much money
00:59:09.640 to be made and maintaining the status quo. And that's why, you know, one of the things I, one of
00:59:15.440 the examples, when I knew we were screwed is I was on the air every night in Louisville on my old
00:59:21.340 syndicated show live. And I had Matt Bevin on my show all the time when he was trying to primary
00:59:27.100 Mitch McConnell. And at that time I was doing a lot, I was doing a lot of interviews as kind
00:59:31.720 of your token conservative on MSNBC panels and stuff. And we would talk about this primary all
00:59:36.600 the time. And I'm like, I think Bevin's going to win. I mean, everybody hates McConnell. Bevin's,
00:59:40.860 you know, got his own money to spend. He's, he's well known. He's a great candidate and he's such a
00:59:44.920 good candidate. He's the governor of Kentucky. Now we got to primary night, several friends of mine
00:59:49.860 worked on this campaign. So I knew what was going on on the inside. We get to primary night and you
00:59:53.980 look at the turnout. Now, Kentucky is a state where I think twice in the last 20 years,
00:59:58.140 the Democrat nominee for president didn't even get 40% of the vote statewide in a presidential
01:00:02.740 election. It's a pretty red state. We get to primary night and more people voted in the
01:00:07.440 Democratic Senate primary than voted in the Republican Senate primary that night, despite
01:00:12.680 all the media attention, except, you know, where all the media attention was on CNN and MSNBC,
01:00:17.280 which our base doesn't consume. You went, I went and, I went and Googled Fox. I went to
01:00:21.280 Fox news.com. I Googled Matt Bevin, which McConnell got like no results. We never talked about it. It
01:00:27.580 never shows up on the front page of drudge. And so here we are with a vastly superior candidate to
01:00:32.500 McConnell, not some local yokel who believes in chem trails, a guy who's the governor of the state
01:00:38.440 right now. Okay. And we couldn't turn out our voters because they didn't even know he existed,
01:00:44.120 Glenn. And this is, this is why we, we can't ever beat these guys in these primaries. This is why
01:00:50.160 whoever tells you, Hey, we're going to launch a 10 year war to take back the Republican party.
01:00:54.820 You know, one of my good friends is one of the original donors of the GOP from the old Sharon
01:00:58.980 statement. He's been, he once told me, Steve, I've been fighting for, you know, we've been fighting
01:01:03.240 for taking over the Republican party for 50 years. And I told him, brother, with all due respect,
01:01:06.880 I don't want to do this for 50 years. And the country doesn't have 50 years. So the biggest problem
01:01:12.480 we have is this corporate America has turned against us in the last generation. There aren't any more
01:01:17.560 Lee Iacoccas anymore who either supported our values or were willing to fund them because they
01:01:22.060 understood that Democrats were terrible for their economic model. What's happened now is youth soccer
01:01:26.680 economics have taken over wall street. Progressivism is in every boardroom. They're now funding all the
01:01:31.820 cultural causes we're against. And they've decided, you know what, instead of fighting big government,
01:01:35.960 we just buy it off and they make you buy our health insurance. If we do that.
01:01:38.960 Well, I will tell you this, um, that started, uh, because of Reagan in, uh, I think it was 1986
01:01:45.840 or 88, uh, with the tides foundation. That was their goal. They learned through Reagan. We've got too
01:01:54.580 many people in boardrooms that are conservative. We have too many people running companies that are
01:02:00.180 conservative. We need to get people at the highest echelons of, of corporate America and take
01:02:08.900 over from, from there. And they've done it and they did it effectively. And anytime you ever talk
01:02:14.280 about it, it's a conspiracy theory, but it's well documented. That's what they set out to do.
01:02:19.880 When you talk to Republicans about that, they want nothing to do with it. They're like that won't work.
01:02:25.740 And I'm not in it for that long. I'm just going to put my money behind this guy. The problem is,
01:02:31.000 is that socialists and those who want to destroy this country think long-term. We don't. Uh,
01:02:37.800 if you want to think long-term and, uh, know the truth, know the truth about yourself, your argument,
01:02:45.620 our side, the conservative movement, how do we win in 2020? How do we win in 2024? Uh,
01:02:52.980 and how do we save the nation? The book is truth bombs by Steve Dace, truth bombs, Steve Dace.
01:03:00.000 He'll tell you more about it after this program on the blaze radio and television network.
01:03:07.800 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
01:03:11.580 Well, we have a, uh, uh, we have an epidemic of, uh, people eating crappy foods in America and I
01:03:18.560 celebrate it. Epidemic seems bad. Put it that way. Uh, but yeah, a lot of food is maybe not that good
01:03:25.560 for you. Uh, maybe you're not getting all your vegetables like your mommy told you to.
01:03:29.460 It's because we, a lot of the stuff we do, they, we say, Oh, it's a superfood. And then
01:03:33.440 we take, uh, you know, and we mark things superfood, but it's all supplements. It's not
01:03:39.300 actually the food. It's a supplement and they call it superfoods. So a field of greens is an actual

01:05:22.560 Justin Wheeler is joining us. Justin is part of my research team. He watches the economy and kind of
01:05:34.240 the overall global scope of technology and everything, everything that we're talking about,
01:05:41.560 basically, and tries to tie it all together. And I wanted to bring him in today and talk to a little
01:05:47.100 bit about what's just happened in China that no one is talking about. I mean, we can talk about
01:05:53.480 Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump locking horns. Fine. Don't do the State of the Union. I think America
01:06:00.100 will cheer. That's not a punishment, Nancy. That's a present. But you're going to hear a lot of coverage
01:06:06.800 on that. That's not important. This is. Listen. So, yeah. Over the last several days, just some
01:06:14.800 really interesting kind of red flag signals coming out of the Asian markets. Two really important
01:06:21.120 reports came out. We've had significant drops in the Baltic Dry Index, which is one of the global
01:06:26.620 indices that a lot of analysts look at and certainly one that we track here. But it had its largest...
01:06:32.800 Wait. What is the Baltic Dry Index in case anybody doesn't know? So, this is all of the shipping that
01:06:37.320 comes out of the Baltic Sea in terms of industrial production, grain. And you look at that index for
01:06:44.980 what is happening in that sector of the world, the Eurasian sector of the world, for everything that
01:06:49.120 they're manufacturing and exporting to the world. Economies like Korea, Singapore, certainly some of
01:06:56.280 the former Soviet states produce significant amounts of steel, of other commodities, grain,
01:07:02.540 and they export that to the world. And they're heavily reliant on those exports for their income.
01:07:08.180 Whereas we're consuming income, they're having export incomes. So, the Baltic Dry Index is something
01:07:13.480 that world economies really need to pay attention to. When there is a slowdown in that index, and it's
01:07:19.940 reported every month, that is a very strong sign that there is a slowdown in manufacturing globally.
01:07:25.460 People don't need the iron ore, and people don't need the other commodities that are coming out of
01:07:30.040 those markets. And then very specific economies like Korea, South Korea and Singapore are two of
01:07:35.220 the largest technology manufacturers in the world in terms of exporters. And both of those countries
01:07:40.900 reported a slowdown pretty significantly. The Baltic Dry Index dropped by 17% in one month, which was
01:07:48.900 its largest drop in one month since the financial crisis of 2008-2009. So, fairly significant warning sign
01:07:57.440 and something that, you know, certainly if you are invested in stocks overseas and equity markets
01:08:04.360 overseas, definitely something to be paying close attention to. The thing that I found really disturbing
01:08:10.000 is the amount of money that China has now just poured in to their economy. Now, we do this with the Fed, and it's it's not healthy. But we did this with the Fed with I want to say TARP, but it's not TARP. It's what is it? Not stimulus when we were pouring it in.
01:08:36.000 Quantitative easing. Yes. Yes. Quantitative easing. Thank you. Quantitative easing. We did this for several years, and we were putting about $80 billion a month and basically printing money and throwing it into the economy to stimulate things, you know, or buying bad assets and putting them under an umbrella of assets when they were bad.
01:08:59.380 They were failed crap. And that way you could pump money into the system. Well, we thought it was dangerous to do $80 billion a month to the tune of about $3 to $4 trillion, right?
01:09:14.400 In the end, quantitative easing. That's where we've ended up. So, the Fed has been slowly unwinding its balance sheet and dumping now $50 billion a month into the markets. So, it's selling off the debt it had acquired.
01:09:26.160 Right. And it's selling those back into the market.
01:09:28.180 Okay. So, we did anywhere between $4 and $7 trillion. And that was insane. In the last four days, China has pumped $50 trillion into their market. 50. 5-0.
01:09:49.860 And it's effectively the same mechanism. So, what China is doing is they are, the central bank, the People's Bank of China, is printing money to buy assets. Now, that's the way they refer to these things. They are buying bonds, corporate bonds, mostly in government-backed companies.
01:10:08.680 So, very different from how we are in the United States. But mostly, it is a central bank buying bonds to own part of companies that are already owned by the government anyway.
01:10:20.180 So, you have a bank that's owned by the government printing money to buy bonds in banks that are owned by the government.
01:10:25.140 And China's claim over the last several days is that, you know, they've done $1.1 trillion of direct bank bond buying to pump liquidity into the market so that Chinese citizens have money to pull out of banks to pay their taxes.
01:10:38.640 This is the shell game that literally is in their report.
01:10:42.300 So, think. $50 trillion in four days so people can pay their taxes. Why not just say you don't have to pay your taxes this year?
01:10:51.740 It's the same money.
01:10:52.820 It's the same money.
01:10:53.640 So, if anyone wants to look this up, this is a publicly available report.
01:10:57.480 It is called the People's Bank of China Financial Stability Report 2018, and it just came out a few days ago.
01:11:04.380 Now, so you know, we usually don't trust. You don't take these things at face value because they don't have to tell the truth.
01:11:11.380 And so, they usually make a lot of this stuff, you know, when it comes to how their economy is doing, etc., etc., we take it with a grain of salt.
01:11:20.380 But it's always in their favor, though, right?
01:11:22.160 It's always in their favor.
01:11:23.480 They want to make China look stronger.
01:11:25.100 They want to make China look stronger.
01:11:25.380 Correct.
01:11:25.960 So, when they're telling you bad news, it's really bad.
01:11:31.020 And so, here's how they've done this.
01:11:32.640 If you look at the first few pages of this report, you'll see tables where the Chinese government is claiming that the balance sheet of the People's Bank of China is $6 trillion.
01:11:41.680 That's what's on balance sheet.
01:11:43.300 Very much like our Fed does.
01:11:44.740 Our central bank says we have $4 trillion of assets.
01:11:48.000 Again, we printed money to buy bonds of assets on our balance sheet.
01:11:52.240 Now, so you remember, just to put this in context, in 2008, remember all those crappy loans, all those CDOs, all...
01:11:58.980 All the crap that was not worth anything that everybody was defaulting on, those were the assets that we bought.
01:12:08.380 The Troubled Asset Relief Program.
01:12:09.920 Correct.
01:12:10.280 So, they bought all of those troubled assets and said, no, no, no, we're going to shine these up.
01:12:15.660 It's really not that bad.
01:12:16.980 And we're going to count them as gold over here.
01:12:19.820 So, we've got these assets.
01:12:22.500 That's what China's doing, except to the tune of $50 trillion.
01:12:26.560 But wait, there's more.
01:12:27.920 So, the interesting thing is, to find this money, the $50 trillion that they've just reported for the first time, it's the first time it's been in this report, you actually have to dig to page 64.
01:12:39.760 So, again, anyone can go download this.
01:12:41.360 It's widely available.
01:12:42.240 But on page 64 of the Financial Stability Report of the People's Bank of China for 2018, you can find this data.
01:12:49.680 In addition to the $50 trillion they've added, they already had $42 trillion, and they record these as off-balance sheet assets, not on-balance sheet, so that everyone knows what they are.
01:13:02.460 They are off-balance sheet assets, totally $92 trillion, going back all the way to the financial crisis.
01:13:08.260 There's a second set of books.
01:13:11.280 Now, if China is admitting this, imagine how bad it actually is.
01:13:16.800 What do you think is happening in China, and how much of this has to do with trade, and what does that mean to the average person here?
01:13:30.320 So, China is a very interesting market when you think about bankers who work for state-owned banks, and when you think about companies, the presidents and accountants for these companies that are also state-owned.
01:13:42.580 They know they're running bad loans, but if you run a bad loan in China, you go to jail.
01:13:47.880 Even if you do a bad loan here, you just get out of the market, and no one trusts you with money anymore.
01:13:52.360 But in China, you and your family end up in prison if your loan defaults.
01:13:56.440 So, what China does is it just continues to refinance old loans that were going bad and weren't performing and couldn't possibly raise new debt in the open market, and they just print new money to roll over these old loans.
01:14:08.340 So, it is not new financial assets that the central bank is buying.
01:14:12.260 It's loans from eight years ago that were still bad and aren't performing, and they just refinanced that loan for another five years and just keep rolling it and rolling it and rolling it.
01:14:21.740 The interesting thing, of the $92 trillion of off-balance sheet assets, and this will be familiar to us because of the 2008-2009 financial crisis, about $64 trillion of that $92 trillion is mortgage-backed securities.
01:14:36.560 Oh, my gosh.
01:14:37.500 That is what the Chinese central bank is continuing to refinance are all of these ghost cities that they are just rolling over those loans over and over and over again.
01:14:47.200 So, what we did to the tune of a few trillion dollars, they've done to the tune of $64 trillion.
01:14:53.720 So, what does that mean to the average person?
01:14:55.780 What should that tell you?
01:14:58.120 Right now, there's about $22 trillion of foreign investment money in China.
01:15:03.380 So, this is money that came from businesses, private investors in the United States.
01:15:07.140 It came from hedge funds.
01:15:08.460 It comes from our central bank and other large banks in the U.S. investing in China.
01:15:14.220 It comes from companies like Apple that have significant investments in those markets.
01:15:18.840 And when China begins to unravel, those assets will not be allowed offshore.
01:15:23.740 The $20 trillion of investment that sits in China from the outside, half of it from the United States, China will just seize that.
01:15:31.260 They'll just say, you can't take this money back.
01:15:33.120 That money has to stay here.
01:15:34.380 So, there is a significant risk profile for a lot of companies, Apple probably being at the top of that list as far as I'm concerned, of companies that have invested massive amounts of their U.S.-based capital or Western-based capital and have invested it in China for manufacturing purposes.
01:15:50.140 If China starts to go unstable, I mean, do you have any idea yet on what you think the straw that's going to break the camel's back?
01:16:01.360 Is it going to be Brexit?
01:16:02.640 Is it going to be uprisings in Europe?
01:16:06.160 Will it be Germany or Italy or China or Russia?
01:16:09.980 Oil with Saudi Arabia?
01:16:12.140 What is...
01:16:13.020 Yeah, these are great points.
01:16:14.340 Any number of these could be that spark that really starts the fire.
01:16:18.160 Certainly, Italy is in a serious banking crisis right now that it just seems like it's been ongoing, so no one's talking about it.
01:16:24.920 But it has gotten so much worse just in the last 12 months compared to where it was.
01:16:28.940 Saudi Arabia, another great example, taking on billions of dollars of debt basically every month because they need oil to be at $75 to $80 a barrel to be profitable with it.
01:16:39.020 But Saudi Arabia is in trouble.
01:16:41.580 Saudi Arabia.
01:16:42.620 Saudi Arabia goes unstable.
01:16:45.300 God help anyone in the Middle East.
01:16:49.360 They like them, don't like them.
01:16:51.700 They are stability.
01:16:53.080 So this is them being stable?
01:16:54.720 I just want to make sure I understand.
01:16:55.640 Yeah, this is them being stable.
01:16:57.260 Imagine what it's like when they're not stable.
01:16:59.920 Their princes are like capturing other family members and holding them hostage at the Four Seasons.
01:17:04.020 But this is the time.
01:17:04.840 Because they need their money.
01:17:06.040 They're taking their money.
01:17:07.080 They're taking their money.
01:17:07.800 So we are on the edge of something.
01:17:12.620 And we just had, who was it that was on the show last week, Stu, that said we are looking at Category 6 storm.
01:17:22.180 And I asked him, where would you put the Great Depression?
01:17:25.660 And he said Category 5.
01:17:28.420 So he was predicting something much more significant than the Great Depression.
01:17:33.440 I feel that is coming as well.
01:17:36.960 But I'm a catastrophist.
01:17:38.860 What do you, with all of the research that you do, and you're a pretty optimistic guy, you're just a realist, what do you think is coming?
01:17:47.100 Sure.
01:17:47.320 We certainly could see something on the scale of the Great Depression over the next several years.
01:17:52.260 It is certainly possible.
01:17:53.400 What has been amazing, even though we're seeing a significant economic slowdown globally right now, is how resilient the U.S. markets have continued to be.
01:18:02.760 It's been awesome.
01:18:03.700 You know, they've gained back 50% of what they lost from September, October.
01:18:07.040 It has now been recovered.
01:18:08.480 We are at a key Fibonacci ratio as far as that recovery goes.
01:18:11.640 So as long as you have assets invested in the United States, especially safe assets here, you'll probably weather that storm as well as anywhere you could in the world.
01:18:23.620 Justin, thank you very much.
01:18:26.380 We're going to try to work in the next year to take this information and make it usable for you.
01:18:33.900 Somebody who doesn't necessarily have a lot of money, and you're not playing the stock market, and you're not an international investor.
01:18:39.960 But what you have to do to remain stable, if you are over 55, I am not an investment advisor.
01:18:49.380 Do not take my word for it.
01:18:51.340 Do your own homework.
01:18:52.860 But I will tell you, I think we're coming up to something that is going to be a very long event horizon and the turnaround.
01:19:01.820 If you're 50, 55, maybe beyond your retirement.
01:19:06.180 I've taken 75% of everything I have out of stock markets because I just I think something bad is coming and the shoe will drop.
01:19:16.880 I just don't know which shoe it will be.
01:19:18.560 But there are shoes being pushed to the edge all over the world.
01:19:23.100 Thanks, Justin.
01:19:25.020 All right.

01:19:43.640 They were a regional company, and they wanted me to do commercials for them regionally.
01:19:46.600 And I said, no, because I don't do any mortgage companies.
01:19:50.140 And they pushed and pushed and pushed and said, no, we're different.
01:19:54.260 And I said, you know what?
01:19:54.900 You call me after this crash that everybody is denying.
01:19:57.440 And they're like, we're not denying.
01:19:58.420 We think you're right.

01:22:20.640 Not break into your house and steal the stuff.
01:22:22.580 Steal your house.
01:22:23.760 It's the biggest investment you have.
01:22:25.180 You have to have very strong movers, though.
01:22:27.040 You would.
01:22:27.560 Very difficult.
01:22:28.200 What they do is they actually go in.
01:22:30.780 It takes them about $40.
01:22:33.040 And they just search for your title.
01:22:35.400 And this happens a lot, especially to people who have lived in their house.
01:22:38.900 You have to make sure your parents have this.
01:22:42.600 But it's the fastest growing crime.
01:22:44.960 They go in.
01:22:45.660 It takes $40.
01:22:46.680 They steal the title.
01:22:48.060 They register it under them.
01:22:49.920 They go to a bank.
01:22:50.620 Take out a loan, $100,000.
01:22:52.800 You've lost the house.

01:23:19.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:23:22.580 You know what's crazy is back when the Vanderbilts were around,
01:23:28.440 when the Gettys, the real wealth of the world, had wealth.
01:23:34.880 They did some pretty crazy things.
01:23:36.960 But when you look at the Vanderbilts and their lifestyle back in the 1800s,
01:23:40.700 all they were trying to do is live the life that you're living now.
01:23:44.380 Yeah, they can travel.
01:23:45.420 They can have ice when they want it.
01:23:48.440 It just was really expensive to go get ice.
01:23:50.820 You needed Vanderbilt money to get it.
01:23:52.500 But they were basically living in really huge houses, the life we live now.
01:23:57.560 In fact, we have a better life than they did back then.
01:24:02.280 Today's wealth in Silicon Valley is just getting crazy.
01:24:07.720 In San Francisco, it is so bad, there's literal piles of human poop on the sidewalks.
01:24:14.920 People are starving.
01:24:16.600 People are dying.
01:24:17.740 And just a couple of blocks away from that, two cats are living in their own personal apartment.
01:24:27.420 It was the worst of times.
01:24:29.040 It was the best of times in San Francisco.
01:24:31.680 I'll give you the full story as we begin the show in one minute.
01:24:36.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:50.580 If you have real pain, you know that there just comes a time when you're like, I just can't do it anymore.
01:24:59.340 Is it right after the cat apartment story?
01:25:01.560 Is that typically the time where it feels like you are going to feel some pain?
01:25:05.260 You're going to feel some really deep, throbbing pain after I give this to you.
01:25:09.840 But Relief Factor can help you with pain.

01:26:07.440 It's ReliefFactor.com.
01:26:09.200 Now, imagine, imagine you have a 72-inch 4K Ultra HD television connected to a gadget
01:26:23.620 that you've always wanted, the Bose soundbar, you have a subwoofer, and everything, you know,
01:26:29.160 every time something big happens on the screen, the walls shake, but then the channel has changed.
01:26:35.340 On the couch, a cat has swiped the remote for the Apple TV, and all of a sudden, you're back
01:26:42.420 to QVC, that damn cat.
01:26:47.140 What to do?
01:26:49.720 Well, as reported in the Mercury News, you get your cat an apartment.
01:26:56.300 Forty-three-year-old Troy Good rented a $1,500-a-month apartment for two cats.
01:27:10.400 Now, these are two cats that his daughter adopted just recently and then went to school.
01:27:19.100 What to do, what to do.
01:27:21.760 He didn't want them living with him, so he decided he would just rent an apartment.
01:27:31.080 Now, this story might be cute if it wasn't so strange, dystopian, and irresponsible.
01:27:39.920 In San Francisco, $117,000 is considered low-income.
01:27:45.660 So these are low-income cats.
01:27:48.840 How much do they earn right now?
01:27:50.560 Well, $1,500 a month.
01:27:52.600 Okay.
01:27:53.720 It has been consistently ranked one of the most expensive cities to live in in America.
01:28:02.140 This is Newport, Rhode Island, of our day.
01:28:07.460 And if you ever thought that, you know, Gatsby or any of these guys that, you know, supposedly lived in Newport, you know, the Gatsby is the joke of or the literary device for the excess of that time period.
01:28:23.380 They didn't have cats for their houses for their cats, I don't think.
01:28:28.100 I'm pretty sure.
01:28:28.960 Not even apartments?
01:28:29.800 I don't think they did.
01:28:33.700 Ridiculous wealth is happening now in San Francisco.
01:28:36.660 And that's fine.
01:28:37.940 That's fine.
01:28:38.480 I don't have a problem.
01:28:39.140 You want to have a Lamborghini and, you know, you park it and you don't turn the wheels into the curb on the steepest street I've ever seen?
01:28:45.760 That's fine.
01:28:46.360 That's your Lamborghini.
01:28:47.420 That's whatever.
01:28:48.060 This is your cat.
01:28:49.160 You want to rent an apartment for your cat.
01:28:51.480 That's fine.
01:28:52.780 But California and San Francisco in the throes of full-fledged crisis right now.
01:29:02.940 Piles of poop all over the city.
01:29:06.720 You mentioned this story.
01:29:08.080 I think it was late last year where a light pole fell in a car.
01:29:12.520 Yes.
01:29:12.840 You remember this?
01:29:13.420 Uh-huh.
01:29:14.100 Okay.
01:29:14.500 So I can't remember the street.
01:29:15.980 It was like pine and something.
01:29:17.680 But there was, you know, those big, heavy metal light poles.
01:29:22.500 It was on a corner.
01:29:24.560 Car pulls up.
01:29:25.680 Doesn't pull all the way to the crosswalk.
01:29:29.740 Thankfully.
01:29:30.240 Thankfully.
01:29:31.140 This light pole, all of a sudden, nobody hits it.
01:29:33.840 Nothing.
01:29:34.300 It just and crashes on the hood of this car.
01:29:39.820 If the car would have been four feet forward, it would have killed the passenger.
01:29:44.360 Okay.
01:29:44.800 It's a giant light pole.
01:29:46.020 Why did the giant light pole fall?
01:29:49.820 Well, after investigation, they found out that too many humans were peeing on the pole and it corroded the metal.
01:30:00.580 And because of human urine, that light pole collapsed and almost killed somebody.
01:30:08.640 Same way the Grand Canyon was formed, by the way.
01:30:10.740 A lot of people don't know that.
01:30:11.880 A lot of people don't know that.
01:30:13.060 So you have mentally ill people.
01:30:15.540 You have tents all over the city.
01:30:17.960 You have poop all over the city.
01:30:19.460 You have urine soaked light poles falling.
01:30:26.920 I mean, this is a crazy thing.
01:30:28.300 And then you have a guy who says, you know what?
01:30:31.220 I'm going to rent this for my cats.
01:30:33.780 Now, again, you can rent it for your cats.
01:30:36.900 But I'm guessing this guy is living in San Francisco.
01:30:41.200 I'm guessing.
01:30:42.020 Yeah, I could be wrong.
01:30:43.320 I'm guessing he's one of these guys also that wants to save the world and social justice warrior and everything else.
01:30:50.220 The reason why is because his 18-year-old got some kittens, named them after the characters on Bob's Burgers, made an Instagram account for them, then went off to college, and she just didn't have any other choice.
01:31:07.140 If my son or daughter ever came to me and said, Dad, I need you to rent an apartment for my cats just for four years.
01:31:17.040 I might disown them.
01:31:23.740 I might say, you know what?
01:31:24.860 I'm going to take you to court.
01:31:25.940 I'm divorcing you.
01:31:27.380 I think the average American would be more likely to have those cats served at Bob's Burgers after that incident, renting an apartment for them for several years.
01:31:36.660 That's crazy, isn't it?
01:31:37.820 That's amazing.
01:31:38.640 On the crazy front as well, I think, you know, last week we told you that, you know, the feminist movement is just going to keep growing.
01:31:51.840 It's getting stronger and stronger.
01:31:53.540 And Gillette this week comes out and shows the toxic masculinity.
01:31:57.800 Uh, and it's just, it's, it's just getting so great now for women.
01:32:03.460 Um, and you can finally do what women have always wanted to do.
01:32:08.280 Uh, January is now Januhary month.
01:32:13.420 And they are, um, urging, feminists are urging women not to shave.
01:32:19.500 Oh.
01:32:20.220 Don't shave your armpits.
01:32:21.640 It's Januhary.
01:32:22.480 You know, nothing is going to win people over to feminism more than unshaved, uh, armpits of women.
01:32:30.020 I think that's probably your quickest path to success.
01:32:32.680 And I think they should try.
01:32:34.240 I, maybe all the candidates for 2020, there's a lot of women.
01:32:37.740 It's the year of the woman as every year is, uh, year of the woman.
01:32:42.500 Maybe this is something they can embrace.
01:32:45.380 I mean, I think this would help sell their candidacy, make a little bit of news.
01:32:49.660 Why not?
01:32:50.360 So they're also saying that you shouldn't pluck your eyebrows and you should just let your hair grow.
01:32:55.600 Just let your hair grow.
01:32:56.700 Just, you know what?
01:32:58.100 I'm sorry.
01:32:59.140 I'm sorry.
01:33:00.120 Uh, I mean, we're not monkeys.
01:33:03.120 We're not.
01:33:03.760 And even monkeys has another monkey that's picking the crap out of their fur.
01:33:08.600 You know what I mean?
01:33:09.560 Yeah.
01:33:10.120 You know, even monkeys groom themselves.
01:33:13.460 That's true.
01:33:14.100 It's just called grooming.
01:33:15.720 Now, if you don't like the social norms, that's fine.
01:33:18.260 But don't try to make this into a movement because you, for some reason, are empowered because you have hairy armpits.
01:33:26.260 You can do that all you want and you can be the hairy armpit lady.
01:33:31.440 Go for it.
01:33:33.820 Celebrate your spirit the way you want to celebrate your spirit.
01:33:37.420 I lived in a house next to a teepee growing up.
01:33:42.480 I know these people.
01:33:44.260 Okay.
01:33:44.840 I and I'm open minded and I didn't mind the people in the teepee.
01:33:49.140 I didn't know why they didn't build a house.
01:33:50.980 Uh, and eventually they did build a house, but I think they used it mainly for storage because they still lived in the teepee, but to each his own, whatever.
01:34:02.480 But don't expect me to go.
01:34:04.400 Oh, you go girl.
01:34:06.140 Oh, there's nothing better than a big hairy armpit on a beautiful woman, a black cocktail dress, a string of pearls and hairy armpits.
01:34:16.740 You had me at hairy armpits.
01:34:18.900 That's class right there.
01:34:20.400 It is.
01:34:21.060 I will say, uh, it's so typical of you, uh, uh, uh, a shining example of toxic masculinity.
01:34:29.700 Yeah.
01:34:29.960 To advocate for something named after the male side of a marriage, the groom.
01:34:36.240 You, uh, right here on the air, have shown once again your patriarchal, uh, tendencies.
01:34:43.600 No, that, that's not the same word.
01:34:45.140 Grooming, it's, it would turn us all into men because men are the only, the only approved gender.
01:34:53.160 My gosh.
01:34:53.600 Did you hear what he just said?
01:34:55.080 Did an American just hear what he said?
01:34:56.960 He just said grooming.
01:34:59.740 It's just like you, you pedophiliac to talk about grooming and to encourage grooming of young people into your sexual wants and desires.
01:35:14.360 You were encouraging grooming.
01:35:16.060 I was criticizing you for encouraging.
01:35:17.980 I want nothing to do with you and your, your lifestyle.
01:35:22.760 Because I, I'm going to say it.
01:35:25.040 I think grooming children for your sexual desire is wrong, Stu.
01:35:30.440 I'm going to, I'm going to say it.
01:35:31.780 I'm going to have the guts to say it.
01:35:33.840 You want to play intersectionality battle with me?
01:35:36.520 You want to play intersectionality?
01:35:38.340 We'll do it, brother.
01:35:39.540 We should play intersectionality as a game on the air at some point.
01:35:42.600 We should.
01:35:43.000 Just who has been violated the most by the horrible society that's been built by the number one civilization of all time.
01:35:49.320 That is a good game.
01:35:50.480 That is.
01:35:51.160 That is a good game.
01:35:52.280 I think we need to play that.
01:35:53.420 I know.
01:35:53.780 Well, we have to come up with it first.
01:35:55.440 Well, yes, but that's how these things happen.
01:35:57.780 We just say it on the air.
01:35:58.880 It's like somebody, you know, somebody, Milton or Bradley said, Monopoly.
01:36:03.840 We should sell a game named Monopoly.
01:36:06.580 Let's start playing it right now.
01:36:07.900 But we don't have, we don't have Milton.
01:36:09.460 But what we need, Milton, is like a little metal car.
01:36:14.520 Oh, I know.
01:36:15.720 What does everyone think is really relevant?
01:36:17.640 A thimble.
01:36:18.680 Let's put a thimble in there.
01:36:20.240 Yes.
01:36:20.740 Everyone loves thimble.
01:36:22.000 We've got it.
01:36:23.500 So we're this close to a brand new game called intersectionality.
01:36:27.140 A thimble away.
01:36:27.940 Yes.
01:36:28.680 All right.
01:36:29.360 Oh, my gosh.
01:36:30.820 What a sexist.
01:36:32.040 What?
01:36:32.920 Oh, a thimble.
01:36:34.560 Like women have to be home sewing.
01:36:38.560 Is that what you think about women?
01:36:40.040 Oh, my gosh.
01:36:40.240 Is that what you think about women?
01:36:41.880 No, that's not what I think.
01:36:43.000 By the way, I consider myself a woman.
01:36:45.720 So don't toy with me.
01:36:47.820 I bet you're spelling an E-N instead of Y-N, aren't you?
01:36:50.160 Here is our sponsor this hour.
01:36:53.400 It is Car Shield.
01:36:56.200 Car Shield is a great way.
01:36:57.600 If you have a car that is, you know, 1,500 miles, 150,000 miles, and you don't have a
01:37:03.640 warranty, you might want to get one.
01:37:06.420 You might want to get one.
01:37:07.100 Yeah.
01:37:07.820 These are, you know, cars now are like, you can't, you can't fix them yourself.
01:37:12.580 And they're full of sensors.
01:37:14.380 So you need one of those diagnostic things that they plug the car in and it tells them
01:37:21.280 exactly what, what's gone wrong for $1,500 or $2,000.
01:37:25.820 And you can get that little silicon chip and they'll, and then I'll fix it.
01:37:29.360 You, excuse me.
01:37:30.120 I just, I, I, I, I went, I was, I wanted the carpets vacuumed.

01:38:10.960 Station ID.
01:38:11.440 You know, I think when, um, when I get to be about 70 or maybe 80, I can't imagine retiring,
01:38:39.060 but if I ever retire, uh, I think what I want to do is go to adult Disneyland.
01:38:49.160 Okay.
01:38:50.160 Adult Disneyland.
01:38:51.300 You don't know what adult Disneyland is?
01:38:52.700 I'm assuming it's different than regular Disneyland.
01:38:54.400 I believe adult Disneyland.
01:38:56.000 I mean, for those on a budget is Walmart.
01:39:00.200 Adult.
01:39:01.480 Absolutely.
01:39:02.000 You can go and you can sit for hours and just watch people.
01:39:07.240 And it's like the Pirates of the Caribbean.
01:39:09.840 It's, it's, it's a little bit of everything.
01:39:11.420 It's a little bit of everything here in Texas, in Wichita Falls, Texas, uh, police, police were
01:39:19.060 called to a local Walmart, um, because they had a woman who would not leave the store, had
01:39:26.460 spent several hours driving an electric shopping cart around the store's parking lot.
01:39:32.820 Uh, now the problem is, uh, you know, you shouldn't do that.
01:39:37.340 Uh, but also she was, she was, uh, she was drinking and driving.
01:39:41.920 Oh, okay.
01:39:42.900 And it's not that she was just drinking and driving.
01:39:45.980 Uh, she was drinking a lot of wine, uh, but she was, she was drinking it out of a, out
01:39:53.860 of a Pringles can that's innovative.
01:39:57.800 That's not Disneyland for adults.
01:40:00.700 I don't know what is now.
01:40:02.660 You could be the person drinking it out of the Pringles can, or you could be the person
01:40:06.740 just watching it.
01:40:07.700 Just going, this is great entertainment.
01:40:09.600 So it was like a little sour cream and onion shabby.
01:40:12.260 Yeah.
01:40:12.580 I don't know if she, I don't know if she was trying to hide the booze, you know what I
01:40:16.800 mean?
01:40:16.920 Or if she thought, you know what?
01:40:18.500 You haven't lived until you've had the sour cream and, and onion, uh, you know, uh, uh,
01:40:25.820 uh, Cabernet.
01:40:26.820 It's delicious.
01:40:27.340 I like that.
01:40:27.800 What about a Merlot with Cheesum?
01:40:30.300 Cheesum with Merlot might be interesting.
01:40:31.760 It's wine and cheese.
01:40:32.740 Yeah, it's wine and cheese.
01:40:33.340 Right?
01:40:33.600 It's just a combination.
01:40:34.760 This woman is a genius.
01:40:35.820 Yes.
01:40:36.340 We're chasing her out.
01:40:38.140 She's just come up with a faster way to have a wine and cheese party.
01:40:42.240 I think this is brilliant.
01:40:43.920 And she actually got booted for this.
01:40:45.320 I would, I expect more from Walmart.
01:40:46.720 Yeah, well, she was, uh, riding around the electric cart for, uh, three hours.
01:40:51.340 Did she crash into stuff?
01:40:53.160 Pardon me?
01:40:53.660 Did she crash into stuff?
01:40:55.260 Uh, no, no, she was not arrested.
01:40:57.520 She was not arrested.
01:40:58.440 She was just asked not to come back to the store.
01:41:00.760 Ever?
01:41:01.660 For one time drinking wine out of a Pringles can?
01:41:04.340 For one little three hour period drinking wine out of a Pringles can and driving one of
01:41:09.120 their shopping carts around.
01:41:10.360 That's, that's, that's, that's offensive to me.
01:41:12.180 Yeah.
01:41:12.320 Now she, the police, by the time the police came, she had, uh, she had, uh, she had left.
01:41:17.620 She left the shopping cart there.
01:41:19.100 She took the Pringles, uh, good for her.
01:41:21.260 And, uh, and, uh, about an hour, about an hour later, they found her at a nearby, uh,
01:41:26.540 restaurant, uh, where she, uh, uh, she had ordered some food, but nothing to drink.
01:41:31.960 She had it in her Pringles can, uh, and they didn't arrest her.
01:41:35.020 They just said, uh, we're just here to tell you, uh, Walmart doesn't like your kind around
01:41:40.060 these parts.
01:41:41.340 Yeah.
01:41:42.060 Yeah.
01:41:42.480 That seems like the exact kind they want.
01:41:45.040 No, I don't know if Walmart.
01:41:46.640 No, no, no.
01:41:47.500 I know.
01:41:47.900 I think those people just, if they don't want that part, I'm not stopping.
01:41:49.940 I'm not going anymore.
01:41:50.700 That was it.
01:41:51.400 Well, that's why I go.
01:41:52.640 You're exactly right.
01:41:53.600 They said, I thought they wanted me there.
01:41:55.320 The reason, I mean, I don't think Walmart wants those kinds of people.
01:41:59.480 I think those people just come.
01:42:00.820 It's not like Walmart's like, how can we get, how can we get really fat out of shape
01:42:05.920 people that just want to wear spandex thongs to shop here?
01:42:11.500 But that's, what's great about Walmart.
01:42:12.620 Cause I love Walmart.
01:42:13.400 I go there all the time.
01:42:14.180 I do too.
01:42:14.600 Uh, and, um, I'm not necessarily the guy who's going to be drinking wine.
01:42:17.840 I don't like wine first of all, but wine out of a Pringles can.
01:42:20.700 But would I eat raw cookie dough in the aisle?
01:42:23.180 Yeah.
01:42:23.720 A hundred percent.
01:42:24.400 That's why I go.
01:42:25.380 That's, that's like the main reason I show up.
01:42:27.140 I always feel guilty and I don't want to feel this way anymore.
01:42:30.820 If I go shopping with my wife, I do grab something out of an aisle and I eat it, but like a nothing
01:42:36.940 that you would have to weigh, you know, like I'll go to a place, you know, and I've not done
01:42:42.780 this, but I could do this.
01:42:44.440 I could see me doing this when, you know, when I get to the point to where I really don't
01:42:49.320 care, I'm almost there.
01:42:50.660 But when I really don't care and when I say I really don't care, I don't care what even
01:42:55.580 my wife thinks.
01:42:56.780 Sure.
01:42:57.540 That's when I'm going, she'll say, I'm okay.
01:43:01.940 And I'll just go to, you know, get some, you know, Hey, we need some, uh, some plastic
01:43:06.720 silverware, get the plastic silverware, get some spoons, go to the ice cream aisle, open
01:43:11.880 up a big tub of ice cream and walk around my wife, eat the ice cream with the plastic
01:43:16.540 spoon I bought and I'll pay for both of them.
01:43:18.420 Right.
01:43:18.920 And I don't want your dirty looks.
01:43:20.480 No, of course not.
01:43:21.280 That's, that's the Walmart guarantee.
01:43:22.700 As far as I know, that's what the smiley face says to me.
01:43:24.940 Really?
01:43:25.300 Right.
01:43:25.580 Yeah.
01:43:25.720 We go in there and that's what it's saying.
01:43:27.120 Eat.
01:43:27.300 Eat what you want.
01:43:27.900 Eat what you want.
01:43:28.280 You pay for it.
01:43:29.180 Yeah.
01:43:29.620 But absolutely.
01:43:30.620 How you want, when you want, what you want.
01:43:32.740 I believe in capitalism.
01:43:33.860 I do too.
01:43:34.280 When you go, the more important time I believe is when you're shopping by yourself because there's
01:43:38.400 a certain level of disgusting snack that you really want to eat, but you don't want
01:43:42.080 to eat in front of your wife.
01:43:43.600 That's when you eat that in the aisles.
01:43:45.280 No, no, no.
01:43:45.800 And then you eat it before you get home.
01:43:47.540 You're such a rookie.
01:43:48.500 You don't want to eat it in front of your wife or you don't want any evidence to, for
01:43:52.640 anyone to know that you've eaten it.
01:43:55.840 Well, I mean, if you're eating it publicly at Walmart, there's, you are going to be.
01:44:00.580 Well, those are people that you don't know.
01:44:02.140 Right.
01:44:02.480 Okay.
01:44:02.660 Yeah.
01:44:02.880 That's fine.
01:44:03.360 As long as no one knows.
01:44:04.180 I mean, don't hang around people who shop at Walmart.
01:44:06.360 You just shop at Walmart yourself.
01:44:08.340 Oh, is that it?
01:44:09.100 You're not one of them.
01:44:10.100 That's how they got to be the world's greatest, biggest retailer.
01:44:12.080 Yeah.
01:44:12.440 I'm not, I'm not like that person over there drinking wine out of the Pringles cup.
01:44:16.780 I just come here and I'm a classy Walmart shopper.
01:44:22.460 That's the way you do it.
01:44:23.520 I just, look, if I spill some of this ice cream on my shirt, I'm going over and I'm going to
01:44:28.120 get a shirt off the rack and I'll change into it.
01:44:30.700 And I'll put my ice cream stained shirt that I wore in here into the, into the carriage.
01:44:36.340 And I will pay for the shirt that I'm wearing and the ice cream that I'm eating and the spoon
01:44:40.960 that I took out of the box.
01:44:42.520 I'll pay for all of them because I'm a classy Walmart shopper.
01:44:50.300 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:45:05.940 They now have two babies and they've moved a couple of times.
01:45:09.640 And when you have a, you got to have security.
01:45:11.720 First of all, it's 2019.
01:45:13.380 You have to have a security system in your home, but they don't want to rewire.
01:45:16.800 You can't wire up a rental house.
01:45:19.180 You can't do that.
01:45:19.880 You got to be able to take it with you and SimpliSafe is the only system that you can
01:45:23.100 take with you that going to give you this sort of performance, this sort of technology.
01:45:26.520 And then not to mention when you have two young babies, probably are going to like the
01:45:31.200 $14.99 a month monitoring fee a lot better than the competitors.
01:45:35.260 Or you're going to find yourself, you know, walking around Walmart drinking out of a Pringles
01:45:40.000 cup because you got two babies.

01:46:08.100 I want you to know that Mercury One is working with our Pentagon right now, even as we speak.
01:46:14.080 The U.S. soldiers that were killed as a part of, you know, what we're doing over in the
01:46:22.300 Middle East, ISIS has claimed responsibility for this.

01:46:50.380 You can go to MercuryOne.org.
01:46:52.860 All right, well, we could talk about the guy who has been abducted by aliens, which is pretty
01:47:01.620 interesting, or don't forget about the wine and Pringles update.
01:47:05.740 Oh, we have an update on that.
01:47:06.700 Yes, the bar in Houston has decided to start serving wine in Pringles cans in honor of the
01:47:12.340 incident we just talked about.
01:47:13.720 It was awesome.
01:47:14.600 It's called the branch.
01:47:16.160 I think the ranch, the branch, something like that.
01:47:18.300 Oh, my gosh.
01:47:19.200 The branch.
01:47:19.860 I think that's a friend of ours restaurant.
01:47:24.520 I think that.
01:47:25.440 I don't know.
01:47:26.060 The branch is the name of it.
01:47:27.100 A Houston bar.
01:47:27.960 Maybe not.
01:47:28.760 Maybe not.
01:47:29.560 Silver served box, Chablis and Merlot and many cans of Pringles starting Wednesday night.
01:47:33.540 Classy.
01:47:33.880 Very classy.
01:47:34.520 That's class.
01:47:35.520 Or we could talk to Stephen Baldwin.
01:47:38.120 Stephen Baldwin is here in studio, an actor in a new movie called The Least of These.
01:47:44.820 Let me start with this.
01:47:46.020 Have you ever gone to Walmart and been in one of their little writing, you know, shopping
01:47:53.380 carts while drinking any kind of wine out of a Pringles can?
01:47:59.620 And do you look down on those people that do that?
01:48:03.800 At this time, Glenn, my only response can possibly be.
01:48:08.740 Yeah, sir.
01:48:10.040 I am not aware of any such activity, nor if I were, I most definitely could not disclose
01:48:16.020 such activity in any kind of a public broadcasting.
01:48:20.140 How are you?
01:48:21.760 I haven't seen you in a long time.
01:48:23.820 Yeah.
01:48:24.340 I mean, I've seen you, but I haven't seen you face to face.
01:48:26.680 You too.
01:48:27.400 And gosh, there's a whole bunch I want to say to you.
01:48:31.760 First, I want to start with quit monkeying around.
01:48:33.680 Jan, you hairy?
01:48:34.780 Really, guys?
01:48:35.660 No, it's not our idea.
01:48:36.760 We're against it.
01:48:37.720 We're saying stop.
01:48:39.600 We're also, I will say.
01:48:41.900 But quit monkeying around, Glenn.
01:48:43.540 Okay.
01:48:43.940 No, I'm just picking it out and picking stuff out of other people's fur.
01:48:47.420 Listen, there is, you know, there's important stuff to talk about.
01:48:51.700 Yes, there's important stuff to talk about.
01:48:54.100 This world has gone insane.
01:48:55.960 Buddy?
01:48:57.320 Insane.
01:48:58.040 When Stephen Baldwin sits at the mic with you this many years later on The Blaze, and God
01:49:04.520 bless you for your success.
01:49:05.600 Thank you.
01:49:05.940 By the way, the interview is over in 10 seconds.
01:49:08.620 Do I get one share of stock after the new merger?
01:49:11.940 Just one.
01:49:13.560 Larry?
01:49:14.300 No.
01:49:15.100 No.
01:49:15.700 God bless him.
01:49:16.480 See, he knows how to do it.
01:49:18.700 It's the most powerful word in Hollywood?
01:49:21.720 No.
01:49:21.920 Yeah.
01:49:22.640 Sorry, Baldwin.
01:49:23.420 Maybe.
01:49:24.320 Leave if you want, Buster Brown.
01:49:25.780 It's my show.
01:49:26.660 So tell me about the movie you're in.
01:49:28.440 The Least of These, and the website, forgive me, is leastofthese.movie, not .com, leastofthese.movie,
01:49:36.880 is the biographical story of an Australian missionary named Graham Staines, who in 1999 was murdered along with his two very young boys.
01:49:48.680 He had been there for 15 years as a doctor with a medical clinic treating the ailing leprosy epidemic, which in the Hindi faith is a curse.
01:49:59.300 He was a born-again Christian, but very conservative, and in the platform of that medical facility, he would evangelize, which is legal when asked about your faith.
01:50:10.600 So then the writer of this particular screenplay was very smart to take all of that based on the true life story and then create a really interesting fictional story about an Indian journalist hired by a newspaper to try to expose the truth and this and that.
01:50:30.780 And it's this guy's journey of learning who this man was and is.
01:50:35.320 So now it's kind of like this more of a theatrical adaptation, but it communicates who the guy was and the tragedy and the loss.
01:50:45.880 And then his widow wife, Gladys, who's alive today, the first response she had to the media after the events was,
01:50:54.340 we just want all of India to know we forgive the people who have done this.
01:50:58.380 I love those people.
01:50:59.180 I love people that forgive after the unforgivable.
01:51:06.560 They just forgive the unforgivable.
01:51:08.940 And that happens sometimes.
01:51:10.200 But in this instance, it really sent a shockwave in 99 across India.
01:51:16.080 And the perpetrators were caught and tried and the one lead guy was hung, went to prison and then was hung, as I understand it.
01:51:25.660 Why did they kill him?
01:51:26.900 I'm sorry?
01:51:27.240 Why did they kill him just because of he was he was talking about his faith or?
01:51:33.260 Yeah, I think that he just was so within their culture as as conservative as he was.
01:51:41.540 I just think he was just so peaceful.
01:51:44.560 He was a threat.
01:51:45.980 You know what I mean?
01:51:46.980 It's just that's wild in India.
01:51:49.920 Gone the home of Gandhi.
01:51:51.240 Right.
01:51:51.560 But when you get, you know, there's a couple of bad apples usually in every bunch.
01:51:55.020 And if you're a Hindi radical saying, hey, wait, no, there's there.
01:51:59.680 He's really using that as a cover.
01:52:01.300 And these people are causing problems in our in our faith, in our region.
01:52:05.580 And this is.
01:52:06.500 Yeah.
01:52:07.000 So that's the story.
01:52:09.180 But as you know, you hear those.
01:52:13.360 I love people who do that thing.
01:52:15.500 But really, this guy's story.
01:52:17.540 He's one of the anomalies in that thing that really now.
01:52:22.520 On the 25th anniversary, Larry, or 20.
01:52:26.540 20th anniversary of that incident.
01:52:28.760 And God bless me in my point is, I can't believe it.
01:52:33.980 I mean, it's 20 years since 1999.
01:52:36.240 Yeah.
01:52:36.680 20 years.
01:52:37.560 That's crazy.
01:52:38.460 Yeah.
01:52:38.800 Anyway, go ahead.
01:52:40.520 Amazing.
01:52:41.460 We're apparently we're still looking good, Glenn.
01:52:43.740 Yeah.
01:52:44.100 No, no, I'm not.
01:52:45.500 You are.
01:52:45.960 I'm not.
01:52:46.640 That's a different.
01:52:47.740 That's a different story.
01:52:48.680 That's the overall crux.
01:52:50.100 Yeah.
01:52:50.300 And now we've done this film adaptation and and it's I'm not even joking around here.
01:52:54.940 It's kind of already with churches and, you know, communities and socially going a little
01:52:59.180 bit viral.
01:53:00.100 He's he's kind of one of the within the world of global missionaries.
01:53:05.240 He's kind of an icon.
01:53:06.320 You know, he was just one of these guys that really walked the walk, talk the talk, but
01:53:09.480 then lost his life.
01:53:10.700 Tragically.
01:53:12.180 This is going to be a fathom event premiering last day of January.
01:53:17.360 And then the next day it goes 700 screens.
01:53:19.700 Wow.
01:53:20.820 Yeah.
01:53:21.240 So movies have changed, haven't they?
01:53:24.360 I mean, mind bogglingly so.
01:53:26.200 Yeah.
01:53:26.500 I mean, it's the 9000 new titles come out a month.
01:53:31.220 9000 a month.
01:53:32.960 Thousand.
01:53:33.760 Correct.
01:53:34.500 9000 feature films are globally distributed on some form of distribution worldwide per month.
01:53:42.680 That's crazy.
01:53:44.700 You see, you see Netflix is what did I tell you?
01:53:48.140 Three spending three billion dollars in programming.
01:53:52.320 And I think there are I think there are billion dollars hemorrhaging a billion dollars a year
01:53:59.340 now.
01:53:59.700 I mean, it's just I don't know how these things are going to last.
01:54:02.540 I don't know either.
01:54:03.200 But we are in a we're in a time when if you want to make a movie, you can make movies that
01:54:09.020 communicate the gospel.
01:54:10.260 Yeah, friend.
01:54:11.340 When did you become?
01:54:13.040 Tell me real quickly your story of when you became.
01:54:16.040 That that was the most important thing in your life.
01:54:21.740 Well, to encapsulate that, I've been a pretty kooky kid most of my life.
01:54:27.780 Skydiver.
01:54:28.740 I'm 52 now.
01:54:30.040 I'm still riding a skateboard.
01:54:31.120 And I just have been more of that.
01:54:37.380 You know, when when you hear the boom, some look to it and run towards it or some people
01:54:41.560 run away.
01:54:41.840 I'm a run towards the problem kind of guy, but not the same kind of guy used to be.
01:54:48.300 Yeah, yeah.
01:54:49.160 It used to be.
01:54:50.100 You were a hard living guy.
01:54:51.020 There's some fights I don't pick anymore, Glenn.
01:54:52.480 Yeah.
01:54:52.720 Um, so I just say that because, uh, I did everything you were supposed to do according
01:54:59.560 to becoming a born again, scripturally what that means, Nicodemus, the whole conversation.
01:55:06.860 Um, and I went to God and I just said, look, my wife just got saved and, uh, uh, this is
01:55:13.840 cute, but I'm Stephen Baldwin.
01:55:17.480 So God said, Oh, I forgot.
01:55:19.720 I'll give you the punchline on this in a minute.
01:55:21.400 And I said, Lord, you know, you created me.
01:55:24.560 I got some talents and this, that's all, you know, I'm, I'm a good kisser.
01:55:28.140 My wife loves me, but ha ha ha.
01:55:30.580 And I said, but my, the greatest piece I have found is plunging towards the planet at 120
01:55:40.560 feet per second.
01:55:41.680 That's my what's up.
01:55:45.080 That's cool to me.
01:55:46.900 And I've done that 300 times.
01:55:48.320 So I said to the Lord, if it ain't better than that, and I've had some, a good run for a
01:55:59.940 dumb kid from Massapequa.
01:56:02.600 Um, so I made this covenant.
01:56:05.420 I supernaturally, I said to the almighty here, here's the deal.
01:56:09.120 If you reveal yourself to me in a way that I know it's you and it's better than that, you'll
01:56:16.680 have a pit bull on the front lines.
01:56:19.800 Trust me.
01:56:21.100 And, uh, he kept his end of the deal.
01:56:24.300 Uh, and there really was never a moment that clicked.
01:56:27.860 There was just some prophetic experiences I've had that just, it only could have been him,
01:56:33.600 you know, and, uh, and not everybody's down for that, but you know, some people just want
01:56:39.560 it once a week on Sunday and this, but I'm not built like that.
01:56:44.340 Yeah.
01:56:44.480 I'm kind of an all or nothing kind of guy.
01:56:46.080 I had to go all the way or nothing at all.
01:56:48.880 And, and just waves of, of experience.
01:56:52.960 I could tell you about that.
01:56:54.000 Even this film was difficult, you know, cause I had to learn to talk like an Australian.
01:56:58.780 Right.
01:56:59.480 Good to see you, Glenn.
01:57:00.840 Right.
01:57:01.280 Right.
01:57:01.680 You might, you know, you have to, I had to go through my process as an actor and create
01:57:05.900 the character and find it.
01:57:07.020 And there was, and we were on location in India.
01:57:10.240 So there was, it was difficult, but God told me to do the movie.
01:57:15.060 So regardless of all that, regardless of haha, and you'll appreciate this when I say things
01:57:21.220 like you, you've struggled to do your thing as you felt your heart lead you.
01:57:28.160 Correct.
01:57:29.360 And why do you think I asked for the one share of stock?
01:57:31.580 I told Larry coming in, I said, God bless these guys.
01:57:34.240 Cause I, I love that merger and I think that's going to get blessed.
01:57:38.260 I do too.
01:57:38.800 That's super cool.
01:57:39.620 I do too.

01:58:28.900 You're trying to make sure that everybody stays employed and you're producing a great
01:58:33.000 product and you have one bad cog and the whole thing can fall apart.
01:58:36.360 And if you are a business owner, you know, you're also, you know, probably the HR person
01:58:41.540 as well.

01:58:47.620 the best product.

01:59:47.900 We're just talking about the, quote, growing pain of the government shutdowns.
01:59:52.580 And if that growing pain includes Nancy Pelosi's punishment of suggested no State of the Union, I mark that up as a giant win.
02:00:07.520 Please, no.
02:00:08.340 Stop.
02:00:09.080 Stop.
02:00:09.700 Please don't do the State of the...
02:00:11.520 Please don't make us not see the State of the Union.
02:00:14.400 Again, like this has nothing to do...
02:00:15.980 I mean, we've said this for a million...
02:00:17.540 We've been mocking this since the show began.
02:00:19.920 Every year, they trot out the president and he has to say...
02:00:22.960 First of all, he does the very long, shaking hands with every single person thing.
02:00:26.860 Mr. Speaker!
02:00:28.060 And then all the pomp and circumstance.
02:00:29.840 Which is not...
02:00:30.320 That's not an American tradition.
02:00:31.880 It's so weird.
02:00:32.720 Correct.
02:00:33.100 And then it goes to his walkout or...
02:00:37.040 You know, and this is every president I've ever seen walking out and shaking hands with everybody.
02:00:41.020 And the people that will call him a racist or a homophobe tomorrow will struggle to get their pictures with him on the way out.
02:00:48.200 Yes!
02:00:48.680 I hate the whole thing.
02:00:50.020 I've always hated it.
02:00:51.320 And you remember, it used to be a letter.
02:00:54.040 The Constitution does not say he has to make the speech.
02:00:56.620 The Constitution says from time to time...
02:00:58.860 Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
02:01:01.840 I'm very concerned about this.
02:01:03.580 Oh, me too.
02:01:04.360 I hope Nancy Pelosi doesn't go through with it.
02:01:06.760 Oh, I know.
02:01:07.540 I would hate to lose this.
02:01:08.760 It's an American tradition.
02:01:10.020 It's basically...
02:01:11.940 I mean, it's in the Constitution, Glenn.
02:01:13.480 Did you know that?
02:01:14.240 What will the average person do without a State of the Union address?
02:01:18.340 Oh, I don't know.
02:01:19.280 I don't know.
02:01:19.600 I gave earlier today, I gave the president...
02:01:23.020 Embrace this, please.
02:01:26.600 Here's the advice.
02:01:27.520 Do it.
02:01:28.140 Embrace this.
02:01:29.140 If she doesn't want to do it, fine.
02:01:32.300 Don't do it.
02:01:33.420 Or do it and just do it with the GOP.
02:01:38.000 So that whole half of the Congress is empty, and you just kind of stroll up and make it
02:01:44.160 very different and say, yeah, well, we're still here doing our job.
02:01:49.120 And now these guys are getting paid.
02:01:50.960 I like that.
02:01:52.100 But we're still doing our job.
02:01:53.720 And others are playing games, and that's fine.
02:01:55.780 But here are the things that you need to know.
02:01:58.140 And keep it really short.
02:01:59.740 And stop all the cheering and all that stuff.
02:02:02.140 Right.
02:02:02.520 I like that.
02:02:03.140 I also like the idea of just tweeting the whole speech line by line, and that's it.
02:02:07.460 I also would like, potentially, like, Trump picks his favorite 200 Twitter followers and
02:02:13.520 has them to the White House for McDonald's and Burger King and Wendy's and Domino's again.
02:02:17.900 You know, he's listening to the people.
02:02:20.560 He's listening to the people.
02:02:22.600 This government shutdown is, I think, for most people, doesn't matter.
02:02:29.800 Now, there is some pain.
02:02:31.180 Yeah, there is.
02:02:31.520 But for most people, it really doesn't matter.
02:02:34.340 And the fact that it is pain, it shows how flawed we are, how big our government is.
02:02:38.980 Something like this shouldn't be causing pain.
02:02:41.160 Nope.
02:02:41.420 And, you know, it should be able to be withstood easily.
02:02:44.640 Yep.
02:02:44.960 It shouldn't be this big of a part of our lives.
02:02:47.060 Right.
02:02:47.560 And the State of the Union, I got news for Nancy Pelosi.
02:02:50.880 That's the worst punishment you could give us.
02:02:53.740 Oh, yes.
02:02:54.620 Signed, America.
02:02:55.660 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
