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

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

00:03:26.420
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.

00:14:26.600
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.
00:22:33.640

Yeah. Sorry about that. Yeah. And, uh, and, uh, I tried to explain he's a friend and he wouldn't do
00:23:11.040

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.
00:31:10.900
Absolutely. Yeah. And you, you are an instigator as well. Number 10.
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.
00:32:36.760
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.
00:37:49.320
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

00:41:40.840
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
00:42:28.100
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
00:49:24.040
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

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.
01:03:11.580
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
01:03:47.100
superfood. Now I'm not going to, I'm sorry, but I'm just not having kale. I'm not. My grandmother
01:03:52.260
used to make kale, a ham, barley, and kale soup. And I loved it. And that's the only thing I'd ever
01:03:57.200
have. Grandma's been dead. I don't want another piece of kale, but field of greens. I'll have

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?
01:10:53.640
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.
01:11:25.960
So, when they're telling you bad news, it's really bad.
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.
01:11:44.740
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.
01:12:10.280
So, they bought all of those troubled assets and said, no, no, no, we're going to shine these up.
01:12:16.980
And we're going to count them as gold over here.
01:12:22.500
That's what China's doing, except to the tune of $50 trillion.
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.
01:12:42.240
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.
01:13:11.280
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.
01:14:37.500
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.
01:14:58.120
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.
01:15:08.460
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.
01:15:34.380
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?
01:16:06.160
Will it be Germany or Italy or China or Russia?
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.
01:16:57.260
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.
01:17:12.620
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?
01:17:28.420
So he was predicting something much more significant than the Great Depression.
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?
01:17:47.320
We certainly could see something on the scale of the Great Depression over the next several years.
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.
01:18:03.700
You know, they've gained back 50% of what they lost from September, October.
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.
01:18:26.380
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.
01:18:52.860
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.
01:19:18.560
But there are shoes being pushed to the edge all over the world.
01:19:29.140
This is a great time to talk about American Finance.
01:19:32.060
American Finance is a company that is a family owned and operated business.
01:19:37.060
And, oh, I don't know, 15 years ago, they were not they were not a national company.
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.
01:19:54.900
You call me after this crash that everybody is denying.
01:19:59.700
And I said, well, you call me and tell me how you've weathered because I don't believe in these mortgage companies.
01:20:04.900
This is the only mortgage company that I endorse.
01:20:15.780
They do not take money from the banks to sell you and upsell you something that isn't right for you.
01:20:23.520
I want you to call American Financing and shore yourself up.
01:20:28.640
Make sure that you're not in an adjustable mortgage.

If you're thinking about buying a new home, now may be the time.
01:20:42.120
It'll be hard to get a loan for a home someday soon.
01:21:05.060
I'm wondering if Stephen Crowder has butterflies in his stomach this morning because Stephen Crowder has been off for a while.
01:21:10.560
New season begins tonight on BlazeTV.com slash back.
01:21:18.140
Updated, different, and he's different a little bit as well.
01:21:23.900
You don't want to miss the premiere episode today.
01:21:40.040
And tonight on TV, we have an expose of the Women's March, how it was organized, what happened in the original meeting when they were together, and talking things about Jews a little bit too much for my liking in a negative way.
01:22:13.000
I want to tell you our sponsor is Home Title Lock.
01:22:35.400
And this happens a lot, especially to people who have lived in their house.
01:22:54.120
And you're now having to pay a $100,000 loan back to a bank.
01:23:00.620
There's only one group of people that are actually standing guard.
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.
01:23:36.960
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.
01:23:52.500
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.
01:24:17.740
And just a couple of blocks away from that, two cats are living in their own personal apartment.
01:24:31.680
I'll give you the full story as we begin the show in one minute.
01:24:40.620
You know, doing this job gives me a headache every day.
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.
01:25:01.560
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.
01:25:14.060
You know, if you're tossing and turning in all night and you can't sleep because of pain, neck pain, back pain, you know, whatever your pain is, this can help you.
01:25:22.580
It's 100% drug-free, created by doctors, has four key ingredients that help your body fight against inflammation.
01:25:30.260
And that's where the problems always begin, is inflammation.
01:25:34.580
I want you to go to ReliefFactor.com, ReliefFactor.com, and try it for three weeks.
01:25:47.420
But if it does work, like 70% of the people who try it, they go on to order more month after month.
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
01:26:49.720
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.
01:27:21.760
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.
01:27:53.720
It has been consistently ranked one of the most expensive cities to live in in America.
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.
01:28:33.700
Ridiculous wealth is happening now in San Francisco.
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?
01:28:52.780
But California and San Francisco in the throes of full-fledged crisis right now.
01:29:08.080
I think it was late last year where a light pole fell in a car.
01:29:17.680
But there was, you know, those big, heavy metal light poles.
01:29:31.140
This light pole, all of a sudden, nobody hits it.
01:29:39.820
If the car would have been four feet forward, it would have killed the passenger.
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.
01:30:28.300
And then you have a guy who says, you know what?
01:30:36.900
But I'm guessing this guy is living in San Francisco.
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.
01:31:27.380
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.
01:31:38.640
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.
01:31:53.540
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.
01:32:13.420
And they are, um, urging, feminists are urging women not to shave.
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.
01:32:34.240
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.
01:32:45.380
I mean, I think this would help sell their candidacy, make a little bit of news.
01:32:50.360
So they're also saying that you shouldn't pluck your eyebrows and you should just let your hair grow.
01:33:03.760
And even monkeys has another monkey that's picking the crap out of their fur.
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.
01:33:33.820
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.
01:33:44.840
I and I'm open minded and I didn't mind the people in the teepee.
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.
01:34:06.140
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.
01:34:21.060
I will say, uh, it's so typical of you, uh, uh, uh, a shining example of toxic masculinity.
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.
01:34:45.140
Grooming, it's, it would turn us all into men because men are the only, the only approved gender.
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.
01:35:17.980
I want nothing to do with you and your, your lifestyle.
01:35:25.040
I think grooming children for your sexual desire is wrong, Stu.
01:35:33.840
You want to play intersectionality battle with me?
01:35:39.540
We should play intersectionality as a game on the air at some point.
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.
01:35:58.880
It's like somebody, you know, somebody, Milton or Bradley said, Monopoly.
01:36:09.460
But what we need, Milton, is like a little metal car.
01:36:23.500
So we're this close to a brand new game called intersectionality.
01:36:47.820
I bet you're spelling an E-N instead of Y-N, aren't you?
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
01:37:07.820
These are, you know, cars now are like, you can't, you can't fix them yourself.
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.
01:37:30.120
I just, I, I, I, I went, I was, I wanted the carpets vacuumed.
01:37:42.700
If something goes wrong with your car, make sure that you have Car Shield or you could
01:37:46.860
be out thousands of dollars in repair and they don't make you pay the, the repair person
01:37:57.320
They don't tell you exactly the shop you have to go to.
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.
01:38:52.700
I'm assuming it's different than regular Disneyland.
01:39:02.000
You can go and you can sit for hours and just watch people.
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.
01:39:42.900
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
01:40:02.660
You could be the person drinking it out of the Pringles can, or you could be the person
01:40:09.600
So it was like a little sour cream and onion shabby.
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
01:40:18.500
You haven't lived until you've had the sour cream and, and onion, uh, you know, uh, uh,
01:40:38.140
She's just come up with a faster way to have a wine and cheese party.
01:40:46.720
Yeah, well, she was, uh, riding around the electric cart for, uh, three hours.
01:40:58.440
She was just asked not to come back to the store.
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
01:41:10.360
That's, that's, that's, that's offensive to me.
01:41:12.320
Now she, the police, by the time the police came, she had, uh, she had, uh, she had left.
01:41:21.260
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
01:41:47.900
I think those people just, if they don't want that part, I'm not stopping.
01:41:55.320
The reason, I mean, I don't think Walmart wants those kinds of people.
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?
01:42:14.600
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.
01:42:27.140
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
01:42:44.440
I could see me doing this when, you know, when I get to the point to where I really don't
01:42:50.660
But when I really don't care and when I say I really don't care, I don't care what even
01:43:01.940
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
01:43:22.700
As far as I know, that's what the smiley face says to me.
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
01:43:48.500
You don't want to eat it in front of your wife or you don't want any evidence to, for
01:43:55.840
Well, I mean, if you're eating it publicly at Walmart, there's, you are going to be.
01:44:04.180
I mean, don't hang around people who shop at Walmart.
01:44:10.100
That's how they got to be the world's greatest, biggest retailer.
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.
01:44:23.520
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
01:44:42.520
I'll pay for all of them because I'm a classy Walmart shopper.
01:45:01.180
They rent a house and they have SimpliSafe because they've moved a couple of times.
01:45:05.940
They now have two babies and they've moved a couple of times.
01:45:13.380
You have to have a security system in your home, but they don't want to rewire.
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
01:45:47.620
Go there, protect your family, save a buttload of money.
01:45:54.180
Steven Crowder, Louder with Crowder, returns on BlazeTV.com slash Beck.
01:46:05.020
Welcome back to the program, the Glenn Beck program.
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.
01:46:25.960
We are going to make sure that their families are taken care of.
01:46:31.160
If you would like to help us on that, just go to MercuryOne.org and let's make sure that
01:46:37.460
their families are taken care of, that the children have, you know, school and everything
01:46:44.260
that they could possibly need as they've lost their loved one or their father, their spouse.
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.
01:47:06.700
Yes, the bar in Houston has decided to start serving wine in Pringles cans in honor of the
01:47:16.160
I think the ranch, the branch, something like that.
01:47:29.560
Silver served box, Chablis and Merlot and many cans of Pringles starting Wednesday night.
01:47:38.120
Stephen Baldwin is here in studio, an actor in a new movie called The Least of These.
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.
01:48:10.040
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.
01:48:24.340
I mean, I've seen you, but I haven't seen you face to face.
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.
01:48:43.940
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.
01:48:58.040
When Stephen Baldwin sits at the mic with you this many years later on The Blaze, and God
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?
01:49:28.440
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.
01:50:59.180
I love people that forgive after the unforgivable.
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.
01:51:27.240
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.
01:51:51.560
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.
01:52:01.300
And these people are causing problems in our in our faith, in our region.
01:52:17.540
He's one of the anomalies in that thing that really now.
01:52:28.760
And God bless me in my point is, I can't believe it.
01:52:41.460
We're apparently we're still looking good, Glenn.
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
01:53:00.100
He's he's kind of one of the within the world of global missionaries.
01:53:06.320
You know, he was just one of these guys that really walked the walk, talk the talk, but
01:53:12.180
This is going to be a fathom event premiering last day of January.
01:53:26.500
I mean, it's the 9000 new titles come out a month.
01:53:34.500
9000 feature films are globally distributed on some form of distribution worldwide per month.
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
01:53:59.700
I mean, it's just I don't know how these things are going to last.
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
01:54:13.040
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.
01:54:37.380
You know, when when you hear the boom, some look to it and run towards it or some people
01:54:41.840
I'm a run towards the problem kind of guy, but not the same kind of guy used to be.
01:54:51.020
There's some fights I don't pick anymore, Glenn.
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
01:55:19.720
I'll give you the punchline on this in a minute.
01:55:24.560
I got some talents and this, that's all, you know, I'm, I'm a good kisser.
01:55:30.580
And I said, but my, the greatest piece I have found is plunging towards the planet at 120
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
01:56:05.420
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
01:56:24.300
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.
01:56:54.000
Even this film was difficult, you know, cause I had to learn to talk like an Australian.
01:57:01.680
You might, you know, you have to, I had to go through my process as an actor and create
01:57:07.020
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.
01:57:29.360
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.
01:57:43.060
So the movie is happening on January 31st, February 1st.
01:57:48.700
It's the theatrical release in 700 screens the night before you can catch a sneak peek on
01:57:54.960
So you can find out if it's a playing on a Fathom event near you.
01:57:58.980
You can also find out more about the movie, the least of these dot movie, the least of
01:58:06.500
And you can follow Stephen Baldwin at Stephen Baldwin seven.
01:58:18.540
As a business owner, you have to find the right people to come in and help transform the world,
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
01:58:42.940
Every minute you spend looking for somebody is a minute you're not spending on making
01:58:48.660
And every minute that you spend on making the best product is a minute you're not spending
01:58:55.120
So you can do other things besides just spending a minute looking for them.
01:59:04.260
Zip recruiter is smart technology, powerful matching technology.
01:59:08.060
The algorithms that they run on it are impressive.
01:59:10.240
Best in the business is the biggest job site in the world.
01:59:13.240
Fortune 500 companies are using zip recruiter.com.
01:59:16.840
You'll find a candidate that you can hire within the first hour of posting.
01:59:22.580
And it's not because all of these eyeballs see it.
01:59:28.000
You lay in the parameters of exactly what you're looking for.
01:59:30.860
It goes out and it finds those people and invites them to apply for your job.
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.
02:00:11.520
Please don't make us not see the State of the Union.

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.
02:00:37.040
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.
02:00:54.040
The Constitution does not say he has to make the speech.
02:01:04.360
I hope Nancy Pelosi doesn't go through with it.
02:01:14.240
What will the average person do without a State of the Union address?
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.
02:02:03.140
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.
02:02:22.600
This government shutdown is, I think, for most people, 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.
02:02:41.420
And, you know, it should be able to be withstood easily.
02:02:44.960
It shouldn't be this big of a part of our lives.
02:02:47.560
And the State of the Union, I got news for Nancy Pelosi.
