00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:10.180 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.
00:00:16.760 Oh, thank goodness. I mean, Planned Parenthood. Have you heard this, Stu?
00:00:21.020 Oh, I love them.
00:00:22.800 Planned Parenthood. No, not if you've heard of Planned Parenthood.
00:00:25.620 Huge fan. Okay, so there's a new target audience now for Planned Parenthood. It's middle school students.
00:00:32.720 Wow. You've got to expand your audience. You've got to expand your clientele.
00:00:38.100 This is 6th graders, so we're talking 11 and 12-year-olds, right?
00:00:41.360 Yeah, 11 and 12-year-olds, which I think...
00:00:43.240 I mean, 11 and 12 are the new 25, 26 in my mind.
00:00:46.720 You know, look, if you're 11, if I can quote Planned Parenthood, you need to feel comfortable and ready for sex.
00:00:55.780 Now, how many of us haven't said that to our 11-year-old?
00:00:59.420 You know, you need to feel comfortable and prepared to have sex.
00:01:03.500 You're all of 11 now.
00:01:05.360 Thank you. Thank you.
00:01:06.720 Okay, so they've come up with flashcards for schools instructing kids about how to properly use condoms during vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
00:01:19.560 Good. I'm glad we got to that this early in the program today.
00:01:23.060 Thank you.
00:01:23.440 Thank you.
00:01:23.860 Thank you.
00:01:24.300 Well, hey, we're all adults here, and who's to judge, okay?
00:01:27.500 We can't teach you about George Washington.
00:01:30.080 We can't teach you about the founding.
00:01:32.080 We can't teach you the Constitution.
00:01:33.920 We can't teach you about your civic duty.
00:01:36.800 But I'll be darned if we can't teach you about anal sex.
00:01:40.520 You're all of 11.
00:01:42.280 I'm going to go ahead and set a maximum amount of that term being used.
00:01:47.980 Really?
00:01:48.200 I'm going to set it at two.
00:01:49.000 Okay.
00:01:49.440 Okay?
00:01:50.080 So you've already hit it.
00:01:51.260 I've already hit it.
00:01:52.060 So we don't need to get...
00:01:52.980 So it's like...
00:01:53.640 We don't need another mention today.
00:01:54.700 I've already had my Wheaties.
00:01:55.980 I don't have to have another bowl.
00:01:57.440 Okay.
00:01:57.880 In February, parents in North Carolina objected to the program, most recently a mental health
00:02:05.640 resource fair at Clifton Middle School in Monrovia, California.
00:02:10.840 I bet they don't even know what Monrovia is named after, but Monrovia, California included
00:02:17.060 a Planned Parenthood booth where kids, middle school kids, could learn about the merits of
00:02:21.440 gender roles, diversity, and sexuality in the media, as well as the terrors of STD and
00:02:30.220 all of the pictures were included.
00:02:33.420 Parents were upset, upset that without their knowledge, a government-funded organization...
00:02:37.840 Let me say that again.
00:02:38.760 Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest providers of abortions, would be at the middle
00:02:47.360 school and the mental health resource fair.
00:02:50.580 According to their own website, Planned Parenthood education staff REITs is 1.5 million individuals
00:02:56.320 every year, and 65% of those individuals are middle school and high school-aged kids.
00:03:04.540 Planned Parenthood bills its education department as being the best sex education department
00:03:08.760 education resource.
00:03:10.500 That's good.
00:03:11.480 I'm glad they've topped out on that one.
00:03:14.000 By the way, I've done some Googling here as you've been speaking.
00:03:17.220 Okay.
00:03:17.460 Uh, and, uh, apparently, uh, the, uh, the age of consent in, uh, four countries, uh, Burkina
00:03:25.960 Faso, uh, Niger, Japan...
00:03:28.220 Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, wait, wait, I gotta...
00:03:30.720 The first one was what?
00:03:32.860 Burkina Faso?
00:03:34.360 Yeah, why did I say it wrong?
00:03:36.820 Well, yes.
00:03:37.900 Okay, oh, you're smarter than me.
00:03:39.540 Yeah.
00:03:39.860 Okay, got it.
00:03:40.420 Of course, I'm gonna pretend that I've never heard of that country, nor do I know where it
00:03:44.920 is.
00:03:45.160 Do you know where Comoros is?
00:03:48.360 Comoros, no.
00:03:49.160 Okay.
00:03:49.580 Africa?
00:03:50.120 Uh, well, the only reason you might need to visit there is if you like to have sex with
00:03:53.740 13-year-olds, because the age of consent there is 13.
00:03:56.320 No, but we're talking about 11-year-olds.
00:03:57.580 Right, which is interesting.
00:03:58.560 Now, if I go down, the age of consent in the Philippines and Angola would be 12.
00:04:05.660 Would be 12.
00:04:06.320 Would be 12.
00:04:06.720 Again, we're talking about 11-year-olds.
00:04:08.600 When do they start here?
00:04:09.340 11, 12?
00:04:10.020 11.
00:04:10.180 Okay.
00:04:10.400 The good thing is, you've got a home in Nigeria where the age of consent is 11, the lowest
00:04:16.640 age of consent in the world.
00:04:19.440 Planned Parenthood is coming out and saying, right, that we are going to make sure we get
00:04:25.260 kids ready and prepared for sex at an age that is illegal in every country on earth except
00:04:31.620 for Nigeria, and I would assume there's probably some 10-year-olds in these grades as well,
00:04:38.320 so you'd be down below all ages of consent in the entire world.
00:04:43.560 Well, the good news is, I think, on this Planned Parenthood thing is it includes photographs
00:04:48.340 and pictures, so they're already gearing up, so they'll be ready when we can get it into
00:04:55.140 a class where the kids haven't learned how to read yet.
00:04:58.100 We can just point to the pictures and say, doesn't that look fun?
00:05:03.480 You should do some of that a little later, but make sure you come to us for your abortion.
00:05:11.620 Well, I mean, not now.
00:05:12.960 You've probably got about 12 years before you could conceive a child, but after that, we're
00:05:20.560 here for you, baby.
00:05:21.880 Literally.
00:05:22.920 Baby.
00:05:23.500 We're here for your baby.
00:05:24.680 We're here for your baby.
00:05:28.100 Welcome to the program.
00:05:29.180 It is Friday.
00:05:34.880 It's Friday, March 23rd.
00:05:37.640 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:05:40.080 Oh, man.
00:05:42.480 So we're in Los Angeles, California today, and at our studios in L.A., and we're thrilled
00:05:51.100 to have you listen.
00:05:53.020 Thank you so much.
00:05:53.840 Last night, I spent some time with Andrew Clavin and his wife and Ben Shapiro and his
00:06:01.940 wife and a few others that were in attendance.
00:06:03.880 There's something happening here in Los Angeles, and I've been saying it for the last few years
00:06:09.620 that every time I come out of Silicon Valley or Los Angeles, there's a different conversation
00:06:16.300 that is happening here, and I don't think anybody is really aware of it yet, but there is something
00:06:24.140 happening in the freedom fight here in California, and it's quite amazing because, honestly, okay,
00:06:32.680 so yesterday at this time, I think I told you that I was in the parking lot, and it said,
00:06:37.600 what was it, low overhead vehicles?
00:06:40.560 Is that what it says?
00:06:40.920 Low clearance.
00:06:41.540 Low clearance.
00:06:42.040 High clearance vehicles.
00:06:43.480 Yes.
00:06:43.980 And so, every space is marked with something, okay?
00:06:49.140 You can't park here if, you know, your car is too big, too small, too low, too high.
00:06:55.660 They all have fines, and I had no idea, are we in a, what was it again?
00:07:02.880 High clearance vehicle.
00:07:04.240 High clearance vehicle.
00:07:05.400 Because it's not like there's a big ramp or you need a four by four.
00:07:10.900 It's just a parking lot.
00:07:13.060 And so, I was like, I don't know exactly what that is.
00:07:16.260 I don't know if my car fits that or whatever, and it's a $250 fine, and you will be towed.
00:07:23.380 So, yeah.
00:07:24.840 I mean, it's a serious penalty.
00:07:26.200 Yes.
00:07:26.340 It's certainly not as serious as something like, you know, age of consent being 11 and
00:07:33.000 breaking that as a major tax-funded payer organization, encouraging behavior that would
00:07:38.980 violate a major law like that.
00:07:40.860 No, we're talking about.
00:07:41.300 This is much more important.
00:07:42.480 This is high clearance vehicles.
00:07:44.140 Right.
00:07:44.680 Okay, good.
00:07:45.320 Okay.
00:07:45.960 I just want to make sure everyone's aware.
00:07:47.660 No, I mean, everybody is clearly aware of that.
00:07:49.640 I don't know why you're talking about that, yapping about that stuff.
00:07:53.000 I'm talking about a high clearance vehicle in a parking lot that is flat, just like every
00:07:57.980 other parking lot.
00:07:58.940 And there's a whole row of about 25 spaces that are specially marked for that kind of vehicle.
00:08:06.160 I have no idea if that's their vehicle.
00:08:08.460 Yesterday, during the show, we went out because the parking agent was not there when we got
00:08:14.180 there because it's really early.
00:08:15.540 And I don't know, it's like 1.30 when we have to go to work in the West, in the morning.
00:08:21.680 And so there was no parking attendant.
00:08:23.560 So we went out during the show yesterday and said, so the high clearance vehicle, do you know
00:08:32.880 what that is?
00:08:34.680 And he looked at the sign and then he looked at me.
00:08:37.940 And then I realized he can't read English, let alone speak English.
00:08:44.800 So I think we're clear.
00:08:46.160 I think we're okay that we're not going to be towed.
00:08:50.960 Well, the high clearance vehicle.
00:08:52.780 Unless I told him, unless I gave him the impression that I was wanting that vehicle towed because
00:08:59.140 it wasn't a lot.
00:09:00.560 I don't know if.
00:09:01.500 It's possible.
00:09:02.200 I better check now today.
00:09:04.240 So high clearance vehicle appears to be, you need to have a high clearance because of
00:09:11.520 potentially, like if there was a high curb, for example.
00:09:14.080 This has happened with my car before.
00:09:16.360 My car is not a high clearance vehicle.
00:09:18.640 And so sometimes I pull in and there's a little curb there.
00:09:21.020 And if I pull in too far, it scrapes the bottom of my car.
00:09:25.180 Okay, yeah.
00:09:25.640 Which I'm not a good driver.
00:09:27.540 I wouldn't say that I'm capable of.
00:09:28.760 This is a flat parking lot.
00:09:30.220 No, well, I will say it's a ramp where you wanted to park.
00:09:34.700 It was a ramp.
00:09:35.560 So the idea is if you had a super low car.
00:09:38.600 Okay, if I had a low rider.
00:09:40.920 Okay.
00:09:41.440 It could be presented issues.
00:09:42.860 There's not like 25 low.
00:09:44.700 What are they having?
00:09:45.680 A low rider convention here?
00:09:47.740 I mean, it's California.
00:09:49.660 And if you have a low rider, if that's what you have, you don't know you're going to bottom
00:09:56.560 out, you need a sign and a fine, it's California.
00:10:00.260 Oh, it's crazy.
00:10:02.780 They're out of their mind crazy here.
00:10:05.280 And we're living on, I don't know, right?
00:10:11.180 We're in Sherman Oaks.
00:10:12.540 And so there's the, what are these hills here called?
00:10:16.740 Sherman Oaks Hill.
00:10:18.280 Okay.
00:10:18.680 You don't even live here, do you?
00:10:20.100 You're bluffing.
00:10:20.900 Ah, Sherman Oaks Hills.
00:10:22.340 So anyway, we're, we're, we, we got an Airbnb and it's raining out here.
00:10:29.940 And when we got here, the Airbnb that we had, which was right here in Sherman Oaks and on
00:10:37.200 flat ground, uh, they were like, oh yeah, we double booked like, oh, well, all right.
00:10:44.900 Well, it's only 10 30 at night.
00:10:46.420 No big deal.
00:10:47.260 I'm sure we can find another house.
00:10:49.620 So we had to find another house.
00:10:51.680 And so we're, we're way up at the top of this hill, the driveway, low clearance vehicle.
00:10:58.080 Stu, you went to the house yesterday, right?
00:11:00.760 Uh, yeah.
00:11:01.280 Yeah.
00:11:01.420 Okay.
00:11:01.880 You see that driveway.
00:11:03.220 If your car isn't jacked up about 14 feet, you're not getting into the driveway.
00:11:08.260 I mean, yeah, it was bottoming out on the SUV as we got in.
00:11:13.000 Uh, and then you're, you're looking at these houses.
00:11:16.480 You can't get, you can't get flood insurance.
00:11:19.940 I don't know why you would want flood insurance.
00:11:21.600 You're on the top.
00:11:22.180 I mean, is Noah called?
00:11:23.660 I mean, flood insurance.
00:11:25.500 You can't get fire insurance and you can't get mudslide insurance.
00:11:29.980 Oh, why would you need that?
00:11:31.160 Why would you, these people who are building their houses up on the sides of the 14 people
00:11:37.500 were killed in the last couple of weeks here with a mudslide.
00:11:39.940 Jeez.
00:11:40.380 What the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:42.280 Every time I come out here, I I'm amazed by this because if you've never been to these
00:11:46.080 hills out here, unlike any other place, except for what was that ancient civilization in like
00:11:52.380 Arizona, that's like built right into the cliff.
00:11:55.560 It's kind of like that, except it's just kind of perching out front of the cliff.
00:12:01.460 Like they, they were, they asked themselves, what should I do if I want a 4,000 square foot
00:12:07.420 home, but all I have is a three foot by four foot plot of land.
00:12:12.180 Right.
00:12:12.440 What would I do?
00:12:13.240 Right.
00:12:13.480 Now, some people would say you would move somewhere else or build a much smaller home,
00:12:17.860 but no, what they did is they just anchor the home in the three foot by four foot plot
00:12:22.100 of land and then just build stilts over the hill to just hold the house up until the inevitable
00:12:29.000 mudslide that makes it go down into the road below.
00:12:32.440 And so you're, so this, this yesterday I got there and it was light.
00:12:39.100 So I could see, you know, I went in the afternoon cause you know, we didn't get there until about
00:12:42.880 midnight the night before and we didn't have a chance to look at anything cause we had to book
00:12:47.720 it at 10 30 at night.
00:12:49.760 Uh, but anyway, uh, so I, I get back there and I'm looking down and I, and I love saying this,
00:12:57.040 I love saying this because it's always been true, but I was looking down on people in California
00:13:04.400 and, uh, so I'm looking down into the valley and I'm like, I'm seeing into their houses.
00:13:12.440 I'm seeing their patios and their pools and everything else.
00:13:15.960 And I'm like, I'm going to ride the mudslide all the way down.
00:13:18.700 You're dead.
00:13:19.600 I'm going to be on top of you with the house.
00:13:24.560 It's bizarre.
00:13:25.720 The, the, the state that's always preaching to us about income inequality has a situation
00:13:30.060 in which rich people's houses are higher on hills.
00:13:32.540 So they crush poorer people's houses.
00:13:34.600 It's like the most clear example.
00:13:36.860 I know it's like, I've built this mansion up here.
00:13:40.380 Won't, won't it slide down in all the other houses?
00:13:42.540 Oh, riffraff.
00:13:43.580 I can't wait to see those.
00:13:45.540 Those are monstrosities built down there.
00:13:48.520 It'll be an improvement to the neighborhood.
00:13:50.980 It's like the, the multimillionaire who lives three quarters of the way up the hill gets crushed
00:13:56.700 by the billionaire who lives at the top of it.
00:13:58.800 And you're telling us about income inequality.
00:14:01.040 It's so crazy.
00:14:02.520 It is absolutely so crazy.
00:14:04.300 And my daughter made, uh, my daughter made dinner last night and how many dinners did
00:14:11.980 you have?
00:14:12.360 Didn't we already just talk about a dinner?
00:14:14.040 Well, I'm a little bit of a hobbit.
00:14:16.480 Okay.
00:14:16.840 I went to dinner, but I, you know, she was making dinner for the family.
00:14:20.280 Okay.
00:14:20.720 Uh, and, uh, so she, uh, she was making dinner last night and I walk out and everybody's sitting
00:14:27.440 at the dinner table and, uh, she had told me that she was making pasta.
00:14:33.740 Okay.
00:14:34.300 Now that sounds good.
00:14:35.480 Right.
00:14:35.840 We're going to have pasta.
00:14:36.760 Okay, good.
00:14:37.320 We're going to have pasta.
00:14:38.620 And then it was, it was, there was like five strands of pasta covered in, I don't know,
00:14:45.760 dandelions or whatever it is.
00:14:47.940 It was all this.
00:14:49.380 It was the crap you eat.
00:14:50.960 Oh no.
00:14:51.580 And she's like, oh dad, no, it's mushrooms.
00:14:54.040 And it wasn't a rug.
00:14:56.480 I, what, what, what was it?
00:14:57.780 Tim was arugula.
00:14:59.340 Oh my God.
00:15:00.060 I don't eat mushrooms or arugula to be clear.
00:15:02.060 It was like somebody went outside.
00:15:06.180 She's not listening, right?
00:15:07.720 She's got to be.
00:15:08.420 She's not listening.
00:15:09.280 Do not, if you know my daughter, do not say, I said this.
00:15:11.360 But it's like somebody went outside and vomited pasta on the lawn.
00:15:16.920 And then they just kind of like, I'm going to pick it up.
00:15:19.180 And they got some grass in it and everything else.
00:15:20.860 And they just threw it into a, a walk for some reason.
00:15:23.660 And I'm like, you got to, you got to go back to Texas, honey.

00:17:18.420 Mercury.
00:17:25.020 Glenn Beck.
00:17:26.040 What, uh, what, uh, what, what, what did the stock market finally close at yesterday?
00:17:36.200 Uh, down over 700 points.
00:17:38.240 But, but only over 700.
00:17:40.420 Uh, yes.
00:17:41.520 And then we had the, the really crappy budget that we discussed yesterday that passed.
00:17:45.680 Uh, however, uh, Trump, uh, today is talking about vetoing it, which I would agree.
00:17:51.700 Oh my gosh.
00:17:52.420 I mean, he, he should, it's a terrible bill.
00:17:54.380 Uh, I don't necessarily agree with his reasoning, which is he's.
00:17:57.180 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:17:57.700 Don't say dream actor.
00:17:59.320 Yeah.
00:17:59.520 He's upset that they didn't put DACA in, in the, in the spending bill.
00:18:04.120 But again, I, I do think it's a terrible bill that should be vetoed.
00:18:07.460 Uh, it will probably create some more problems with the stock market, however, because of the
00:18:11.380 potential government shutdown if it doesn't go through.
00:18:14.000 Oh my gosh.
00:18:14.540 But he's, he is considering a veto of the bill is what he's saying.
00:18:18.340 Okay.
00:18:18.640 So stock was down 720 points yesterday.
00:18:21.520 And it's not just because of this horrible, horrible budget.
00:18:25.060 By the way, did you hear that we've added another trillion dollars to our national debt?
00:18:30.420 Okay.
00:18:31.320 It's now $21 trillion.
00:18:33.720 When was it $20 trillion?
00:18:37.120 When did it hit officially $20 trillion?
00:18:40.460 It has just now hit $21 trillion.
00:18:43.060 I don't know the answer to this.
00:18:44.780 Big a guess.
00:18:46.580 I mean, uh, you know, last year, September, September, we've added a trillion dollars to
00:18:57.540 our debt since September.
00:18:59.980 That's a problem.
00:19:03.780 That's a problem.
00:19:05.620 So anyway, uh, so there were a couple of things that happened yesterday.
00:19:09.920 This out of control budget, the debt is going crazy.
00:19:13.880 And then also the trade war has, we've received the answer from China.
00:19:20.340 Yeah.
00:19:20.500 The first answer.
00:19:21.240 Yeah.
00:19:21.500 Yeah.
00:19:21.720 The first answer.
00:19:22.600 And this goes to a larger principle issue.
00:19:24.600 I mean, we can talk about the details here and because they're going to put $3 billion
00:19:28.360 of new tariffs on our products.
00:19:31.360 So it's going to wind up hurting all the businesses here, but the principle is larger, right?
00:19:34.200 You pull, you step back and you realize conservatives believe in the free market.
00:19:40.700 Conservatives believe in lower taxes.
00:19:43.000 And now what we're doing is not only taking a tax on ourself, which is what you do when
00:19:48.220 you put a tariff on a product coming into your country, but you're also now getting a,
00:19:52.420 uh, uh, uh, a response from China and they're putting a tax on our distributors.
00:19:57.300 So now our, our products are less competitive around the world, wine, fresh fruit, uh, dried
00:20:03.720 fruit, nuts, steel pipes, modified ethanol.
00:20:08.280 And I'm sorry to break it to the ginseng.
00:20:11.360 Uh, don't say St.
00:20:13.300 John's ward is going to get a, no St.
00:20:14.860 John's ward is safe right now, but ginseng is first shot from China.
00:20:21.780 Glenn Beck, Mercury.
00:20:27.300 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
00:20:37.300 Holy cow.
00:20:40.440 Welcome to the program.
00:20:41.940 In the last six months, we have become so rich.
00:20:47.020 Uh, we have, uh, gone, we have, uh, gone into a debt, another trillion dollars in the last
00:20:55.720 six months.
00:20:57.940 Let's take this.
00:20:58.880 How much was it?
00:20:59.700 How, how much from George Washington to George Bush?
00:21:03.060 So 2000 from 17, uh, 91 or not 89 to, uh, to 2000.
00:21:11.660 Yeah.
00:21:12.440 So George Bush, uh, takes over and it's about almost $6 trillion.
00:21:19.120 $6 trillion.
00:21:21.140 Okay.
00:21:21.740 Then September 11th happens and, uh, we just go insane.
00:21:26.960 And when he leaves office, how, what's the debt?
00:21:31.420 About, uh, 10 trillion, 11 trillion, I guess.
00:21:37.460 Okay.
00:21:37.860 Let's say 11.
00:21:38.460 So he almost doubles it.
00:21:40.000 Yeah.
00:21:40.340 Okay.
00:21:40.760 He takes it from six to 11.
00:21:43.820 So he adds $5 trillion.
00:21:46.860 Now think of this.
00:21:48.160 That's $5 trillion.
00:21:50.540 We're getting the military ready for a war.
00:21:53.300 We're rebuilding.
00:21:54.940 We're fighting a war.
00:21:57.200 We've created the largest federal bureaucracy, the department of Homeland security.
00:22:03.340 We've spent all of this money on our airports.
00:22:06.800 And remember it's two wars, not one.
00:22:08.820 You also have the bank bailout.
00:22:10.200 You have the auto bailout, you have Katrina, and you have the financial crisis of that era.
00:22:17.100 Remember all the accounting scandals and all of those things.
00:22:19.580 Okay.
00:22:19.860 So that's $5 trillion.
00:22:21.880 $5 trillion.
00:22:23.300 Think of that.
00:22:23.840 Two wars, the bailouts, the GM bailout, the, uh, everything that we did, everything that
00:22:31.580 we did.
00:22:32.780 $5 trillion.
00:22:33.600 Obama comes in because he says it's un-American to rack up in eight years, $5 trillion in debt.
00:22:43.700 He comes in.
00:22:44.760 And that's why he didn't do it.
00:22:45.740 That's right.
00:22:46.280 He did not rack up $5 trillion in debt.
00:22:48.880 Okay.
00:22:49.060 So it's, uh, 11 trillion when Obama comes in and when he leaves, uh, he leaves and it's
00:22:55.760 $20 trillion.
00:22:56.600 It's un-American for $5 trillion.
00:23:03.160 So it's mega Doppler un-American, I guess, uh, for $9 trillion.
00:23:09.420 Well, he said it was un-American to get $5 trillion.
00:23:11.900 He did more than that, but he just said it was $5 trillion was, was un-American.
00:23:16.440 $9 trillion might be American.
00:23:18.140 You know, we, who knows?
00:23:18.860 We didn't get a clarification on that one because no one had ever done it in history.
00:23:22.780 Okay.
00:23:23.620 So yes, no one had ever racked up $9 trillion in, uh, in eight years.
00:23:28.740 Okay.
00:23:29.400 But here's the exciting news.
00:23:32.380 We've gone from just over a trillion dollars a year in debt under Obama to now another world
00:23:41.660 record.
00:23:42.760 We are in the Guinness world record book yet again.
00:23:46.780 America's number one.
00:23:48.700 We're number one.
00:23:50.420 We're number one.
00:23:51.900 We've just racked up $1 trillion of debt since September.
00:23:58.420 That's six months.
00:24:00.480 So that's more than twice as fast as Barack Obama was doing it.
00:24:06.860 Yeah.
00:24:07.480 And I mean, obviously you come in as president and you have everyone else before you and
00:24:12.380 the policies already.
00:24:13.900 Oh, I know.
00:24:14.560 You know, but you know, the left will argue that they think the tax cuts are going to make
00:24:18.940 this worse.
00:24:19.480 Um, of course, remember Barack Obama raised taxes and he was putting up a trillion dollars
00:24:24.440 a year.
00:24:25.060 Yeah.
00:24:25.360 So it didn't really work for him to know.
00:24:27.160 And of course, you know, there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of, uh, problems with the,
00:24:32.620 with the debt, with the debt and, and, and, and issues that are stemmed from the Obama administration.
00:24:36.960 We're still dealing with, but we haven't exactly improved things.
00:24:39.520 The new budget, it was told to us yesterday, the new budget will put us at, uh, from, from,
00:24:44.380 from $21 trillion where we are today to $38 trillion in debt, um, you know, in, in the
00:24:53.540 next 10 years.
00:24:54.660 So.
00:24:55.140 And we talked about it yesterday.
00:24:55.940 This would be the highest level.
00:24:57.680 This new budget would have be the highest level of discretionary spending in any year
00:25:03.020 in U S history, higher than every year of the Obama administration.
00:25:07.500 Now Trump has come out today and say that he, he, he may veto it.
00:25:11.200 Yeah, but so.
00:25:12.220 Not because of that, but I'll take it.
00:25:14.140 But okay.
00:25:14.480 So, so listen to this.
00:25:15.740 Do you know, do you know, if you've ever heard the story about the, uh, uh, the, the Persian
00:25:21.080 that invented, uh, chess and invented the chess board and said, I'm going to give you, uh,
00:25:27.100 the, uh, the, the Persian King was so, uh, grateful.
00:25:31.760 He said, what, I've got to give you whatever you want.
00:25:34.140 Cause this is the greatest game ever.
00:25:36.100 And he said, your majesty, all I want is one grain of rice and then double it on every
00:25:45.500 square of the chess board.
00:25:47.220 So on the chess board, it's one grain of rice.
00:25:50.060 And then the next square, it's two grains of rice and the next square, it's four grains
00:25:54.360 of rice.
00:25:54.820 And then the next square, it's, uh, eight grains of rice.
00:25:58.400 I just, that's all I want.
00:25:59.540 And the, and the Persian King said, that sounds totally reasonable because I can't do math.
00:26:06.840 And so I think that's totally reasonable.
00:26:10.180 And then he realized that by the time he got to the end of the chess board, it would be
00:26:15.480 all the rice in the world.
00:26:17.460 Oh my gosh.
00:26:18.340 We have doubled the federal, it took us 200 years, uh, to get to the first, uh, what?
00:26:27.100 Six trillion dollars.
00:26:28.920 Then we almost doubled it in eight years, but then we almost doubled that in eight years.
00:26:37.980 And now we're on pace to double that.
00:26:43.160 So I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but this is exponential growth.
00:26:48.840 It's good when it comes to your cell phone.
00:26:51.860 It's really bad when it comes to your debt.
00:26:55.920 It'd be a lot of rice.
00:26:56.960 We're gonna have to pay at the end of this.
00:26:59.140 We're gonna owe a lot of rice.
00:27:01.960 It's not good.
00:27:02.860 It's not good.
00:27:03.780 And I don't think that there, there's no motivation for these guys to fix these problems.
00:27:08.680 I mean, they all look, I obviously, hang on other than the enslavement of our children
00:27:13.280 and their children.
00:27:14.940 I mean, other than, other than that, other than, you know, I, when I told, I don't mean
00:27:20.400 to mislead you.
00:27:21.000 When I told you the story of the Persian king, I think he could do math.
00:27:25.760 And that's why he said no to that deal.
00:27:28.620 Otherwise, the guy who invented the chessboard would still be ruling the world from the grave
00:27:33.580 because he would have amassed all of the rice in the world, which was food.
00:27:37.500 So he would have just, everybody would have paid him everything.
00:27:40.140 It didn't work out that way.
00:27:41.220 We don't even know the guy's name.
00:27:43.120 So the, the, the, the emperor did know that's not a deal I'm going to make.
00:27:49.220 The, our, I think our congressman would make that deal and they do, they do understand
00:27:58.180 math.
00:27:58.840 They just, for some reason or another, don't care that it's their children and our children
00:28:05.840 and our children's children that will be paying the rest of the world in rice forever.
00:28:12.820 I mean, there's no way to pay this off.
00:28:15.380 Nobody is going to bail us out.
00:28:17.380 So they have all of this.
00:28:18.700 Can you imagine if I said, imagine what would be said about the parents who just racked
00:28:26.080 up bills and there was no bankruptcy and there was no, well, Hey, he died.
00:28:32.020 So after you die, the debt goes away.
00:28:33.860 It's all passed on to your children.
00:28:36.200 Imagine if I said, I'm going to build the biggest fricking house and I'm going to have
00:28:40.980 every modern electronic in it that I want.
00:28:43.520 I'm going to take crazy trips.
00:28:45.660 I'm, I'm going to, I'm going to study the sex life of the potato bug in my driveway for
00:28:52.740 no apparent reason whatsoever.
00:28:55.180 Uh, and I'm just going to, I'm just going to spend money like it's water, like it's water.
00:29:03.280 And, uh, when I die, uh, the kids will owe all the money.
00:29:07.740 Can you imagine what would be said about that parent?
00:29:10.180 They would be like, the kids would kill that parent.
00:29:13.620 Kids would be like, uh, no, dad, mom, stop.
00:29:18.240 Okay.
00:29:19.320 Stop.
00:29:20.300 Okay.
00:29:20.900 I'm going to have to, oh, damn.
00:29:22.580 They took away all the guns.
00:29:23.660 So I'm going to, I'm going to stab you with this paper plate knife and shoot you with my
00:29:29.380 finger gun.
00:29:30.620 You would, you, it's so immoral what we're doing.
00:29:33.880 It is.
00:29:34.300 Can I give you a slightly more charitable way of thinking of it?
00:29:38.240 Sure.
00:29:38.700 Sure.
00:29:39.040 Guy, let me be a little charitable to the, the, the people in Washington today.
00:29:42.860 I kind of see it as, it's almost like, uh, you and I, uh, Glenn, um, are known as, um,
00:29:52.540 something called, um, being overweight.
00:29:56.060 Um, and, uh, speak for yourself, man.
00:29:59.500 I'm sorry.
00:30:00.240 Maybe I, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, maybe my eyes don't work.
00:30:03.180 I am Rubenesque.
00:30:05.060 Rubenesque.
00:30:05.520 Okay.
00:30:05.940 But I mean, if you think about the way Washington spends money, if you want to think about it
00:30:09.960 in the best possible terms, it's kind of like you and I eating too much, like we all know
00:30:16.120 that there are long-term consequences to this.
00:30:19.420 We know that in 10 and 20 years, we will be paying brutally for the terrible choices of
00:30:25.500 hostess products that we jammed down our gullet every day.
00:30:28.180 We know that down the line, uh, that going by and picking up that extra slice of pizza
00:30:34.240 is not a good idea.
00:30:35.340 And you think of all of these little choices that they constantly make.
00:30:38.820 Oh, well, we'll just push it down the road.
00:30:40.560 That's what I do all the time.
00:30:41.840 Right?
00:30:42.060 Like I walk by a bowl of M&Ms, uh, and I take a handful of them.
00:30:47.620 Not because I don't know that it's going to kill me later on.
00:30:52.380 Of course I know that.
00:30:53.240 Right.
00:30:53.600 But right now I have to make this little compromise to throw a couple more M&Ms down my throat.
00:30:58.920 May I just say this?
00:31:00.080 You're saying this about being fat, right?
00:31:02.420 And you're like, I am.
00:31:03.120 I'm going to throw a couple of more M&Ms in there.
00:31:04.940 Yes.
00:31:05.140 Okay.
00:31:05.860 And that's not bad because the way it's happening to you is like you're throwing a couple more
00:31:10.580 M&Ms and then maybe by the end of the week, you gain half a pound or a pound, or it's
00:31:14.940 a really bad week and you gain four pounds.
00:31:16.940 Right.
00:31:17.140 This is like as if we were still babies, okay, where you're born eight pounds, but a month
00:31:24.040 later you're 16 and the doctor's like, oh, look how healthy he is.
00:31:28.140 Okay.
00:31:28.720 At some point that's got to stop because if you were 200 pounds this month and 400 pounds
00:31:36.980 the next month and working towards 800 pounds, somebody would say, good God, man, put the
00:31:45.500 Twinkies down.
00:31:54.640 That person would be my wife and it's happening.
00:31:58.800 I really am 400 pounds now.
00:32:01.840 I've been away for a couple of days in California.
00:32:04.640 I mean, I didn't double my weight.
00:32:06.520 I was 230.
00:32:07.700 Oh, good.
00:32:08.380 So it's not a problem yet.
00:32:10.200 All right.
00:32:10.760 Here's our sponsor this half hour.
00:32:12.600 So glad to have SimpliSafe as part of the program.
00:32:17.360 They're the home security company.
00:32:20.100 SimpliSafe, they give you the power to be able to protect your home.
00:32:26.140 You know, I was talking to Chad, who is the original inventor of SimpliSafe.
00:32:32.500 This is the kind of people that they are.
00:32:35.220 They've spent about four years on this new SimpliSafe package.
00:32:41.360 And we talked about, and this is a few years ago, we talked about, you know, hey, we're
00:32:45.620 going to have high definition cameras so they'll be able to take pictures, you know, and if
00:32:49.960 somebody breaks into your house.
00:32:51.480 And I saw the original camera a few years ago that they were working on.
00:32:56.600 And that camera never came out.
00:32:58.540 They were like, hey, we got this camera and it came out.
00:33:00.780 And I said, how come it took you so long?
00:33:03.200 Because I saw the camera and they said, no, you haven't seen the new camera that we did.
00:33:06.880 We decided not to go with that.
00:33:08.080 And I said, why?
00:33:09.460 And he said, because we're thinking about it.
00:33:11.320 And I thought, I don't feel comfortable with cameras in my house.
00:33:15.520 He said, so I wanted to design something that had a steel shutter to it that was that you
00:33:22.940 could see from across the room was closed.
00:33:26.120 And so only when you arm the system that opens up.
00:33:29.940 And he said, we had to get it right because I wanted to hear that.
00:33:35.260 So when you arm the system, you can hear those cameras open.
00:33:39.900 And when you turn it off, you can also hear we're not watching you.
00:33:43.620 Nobody's watching you in your house.
00:33:45.380 It's that kind of attention to detail and your security that you'll find at SimpliSafe.
00:33:50.800 And you own the system.
00:33:53.020 It's really affordable.
00:33:54.060 And the 24-7 monitoring is without a contract, so you can cancel at any time.
00:33:58.780 And it's $14.99 a month.

00:34:07.940 And you are secure as well.

00:34:12.740 Go there now and find out more at SimpliSafeBeck.com.
00:34:18.920 Glenn Beck Mercury.
00:34:27.440 Glenn Beck.
00:34:29.780 Welcome to the program.
00:34:32.760 Glad you're here.
00:34:34.200 Here's what I'm talking about.
00:34:35.700 I was just telling you about eating.
00:34:39.120 And now you're eating.
00:34:40.060 And I was like, I was desperate for food because I didn't have any breakfast.
00:34:43.040 And I was like, can someone go run to a vending machine and find anything?
00:34:46.220 So, of course, someone did, which was nice because we were on the show.
00:34:50.220 Sure.
00:34:50.500 And I got nuts and fruit medley thing and a fig bar.
00:34:57.780 I'm like, you know what?
00:34:59.780 I'm eating it.
00:35:00.220 I'm like, you know, this isn't my first choice for breakfast, honestly.
00:35:02.780 But okay.
00:35:03.740 I'll get through it.
00:35:04.420 It'll fill me up.
00:35:06.200 I'm in the middle of eating it.
00:35:07.540 And someone walks in and says, hey, I'm making a run to McDonald's.
00:35:09.840 You want anything?
00:35:10.200 Yes, I do.
00:35:11.420 And you know what?
00:35:12.320 That's what our government does.
00:35:13.660 I ran to McDonald's before you got here.
00:35:15.640 I had some McDonald's before you got here.
00:35:17.780 And when you came in and you were like, you know, I'm going to order something good.
00:35:22.160 And you started reading, you know, the pancakes and stuff.
00:35:25.060 Honestly, part of me went, I can convince myself I didn't just have two McRiddles.
00:35:30.280 I'm totally cool.
00:35:31.660 It's just bad.
00:35:32.640 We have a real problem.
00:35:33.500 By the way, you said, can you run to a vending machine?
00:35:36.080 I don't know.
00:35:36.700 Maybe my hearing is going or something.
00:35:38.080 Because I swear to you, I thought I heard, would somebody run to the vending machine?
00:35:43.400 And I was like, wow, they have those?
00:35:47.460 What would it do?
00:35:49.840 I mean, I would prefer like a shoe tying machine.
00:35:53.100 But if it'll help me bend over a bit and just, you know, so I don't have to work so hard bending over.
00:35:58.600 Just stand up against the wall and it's like, vending machine, ready.
00:36:03.140 Yeah, bend.
00:36:04.600 Put my arms out.
00:36:05.740 Manipulate my fingers so it'll just tie my shoes.
00:36:09.580 All right, stand up straight.
00:36:11.660 Wheel me to the car.
00:36:14.160 I think I'm okay with just having some sort of exoskeleton.
00:36:19.460 But it has to be an expanding exoskeleton.
00:36:23.280 This is why the Matrix is such a great thing if it happens.
00:36:26.380 Because then you're just laying down.
00:36:28.500 But, you know, okay, so but wait, hang on just a second.
00:36:30.540 I'm for that.
00:36:31.980 But did you see that?
00:36:33.740 No, and I'm serious.
00:36:34.380 There's no ideological range here on the conversation of whether we're for or against the Matrix.
00:36:40.540 We're both for it.
00:36:41.220 We're both for it.
00:36:41.900 However, you know, Zuckerberg says there's, what, a 50% chance we're already in the Matrix?
00:36:48.100 I am really pissed if this is the Matrix.
00:36:52.300 Life is too hard.
00:36:55.640 It's too, there's too many things.
00:36:57.960 If we are in the Matrix, hear my voice, pod people.
00:37:03.680 Revolt and rise up until they make our life a lot sweeter.
00:37:09.060 Okay, if they'll just upgrade so life doesn't suck quite so much.
00:37:14.520 Or at least give me a bending machine.
00:37:17.680 You give me a bending machine in the Matrix and I won't revolt.
00:37:22.420 I'll be okay.
00:37:23.040 Glenn Beck, Mercury.
00:37:34.200 Love.
00:37:35.440 Courage.
00:37:37.100 Truth.
00:37:38.780 Glenn Beck.
00:37:40.420 Five tough-looking teenage faces looking right at you over the word ENOUGH, all in caps.
00:37:49.400 These kids, they're fed up.
00:37:51.420 They say enough and they mean business and they speak for an entire generation.
00:37:58.260 They're not just five kids.
00:38:00.420 Every single kid on planet Earth has had enough.
00:38:04.940 They are the five anti-gun advocates who survived the Parkland shooting.
00:38:14.380 Emma Gonzalez.
00:38:16.400 David Hogg.
00:38:19.820 Cameron Kasky.
00:38:23.380 Jacqueline Korn and Alex Wind.
00:38:27.760 Time Magazine.
00:38:29.700 We found out a few years ago that Time Magazine will put any clown on its cover.
00:38:38.080 Based on the Time article where they represent a generation.
00:38:42.480 Enough!
00:38:43.560 You would assume that Parkland students as a whole are in agreement on the issue.
00:38:48.560 That they've disavowed the Second Amendment out of disgust.
00:38:52.540 When one Twitter user asked why Time had not included the shooting survivor, Kyle Kajov, who supports gun rights,
00:39:03.660 you know, has called out the media for using victims of the shooting to push a narrative, here's what was said.
00:39:08.060 I mean, I think there's definitely a media blackout.
00:39:09.660 Everything that isn't Fox News doesn't agree with my agenda, practically.
00:39:13.880 And they've just, they haven't been reaching out.
00:39:15.980 And then I was supposed to have a CNN interview yesterday, but that got canceled.
00:39:19.040 And there's a clear media blackout for people who don't have the same agenda as the news organization.
00:39:25.160 Okay.
00:39:26.020 All right.
00:39:27.120 So here's what's happening.
00:39:28.200 The mainstream media's approach is step one, exploit a crisis.
00:39:31.640 Never let a crisis go to waste.
00:39:32.860 Step two, selectively choose the victims who will confirm your and your audience's bias.
00:39:39.180 When asked by Time, or asked of Time, why did you only include the students that support gun rights?
00:39:49.040 Because, well, that would make Time unbiased.
00:39:57.660 Excuse me, what?
00:39:59.940 Something's happening in the country right now.
00:40:02.580 Did you see what happened with Citigroup?
00:40:05.200 Citigroup has now said they're not going to provide any kind of credit cards, banking services,
00:40:12.080 for anybody who wants to sell a gun to anyone under 21.
00:40:17.400 Any business?
00:40:18.540 If you're selling guns, you can't do, you can't bank with Citigroup if you're selling those guns to anyone under 21.
00:40:30.060 Well, excuse me, that's the law.
00:40:32.600 It's, you can sell them now.
00:40:34.360 If the law changes, what is that?
00:40:37.580 I can't, I cannot own a business.
00:40:40.820 I can't have a flower shop.
00:40:42.640 I can't have a photography business.
00:40:44.560 I can't have a bakery if I don't toe the line and participate in gay weddings.
00:40:51.180 However, the same constitution that they're interpreting saying that you can't do that.
00:40:58.580 Citigroup can say, we're not doing business with anybody who is abiding by the law.
00:41:08.500 And there's no outcry.
00:41:12.360 Welcome to it, gang.
00:41:14.680 We are in a fascistic America.
00:41:18.680 It's just being done right under our nose and not necessarily through the government.
00:41:28.580 It's Friday, March 23rd.
00:41:38.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:41:40.880 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.
00:41:44.500 Bill, Time Magazine, enough, enough.
00:41:51.360 Did you read it?
00:41:52.660 Did you read the case?
00:41:53.800 On this side, yes, Beck, I am a man who is on a mission of information.
00:42:02.080 So I did see it, yes.
00:42:03.660 Thank you.
00:42:04.620 All right.
00:42:05.080 Did you read it, though?
00:42:06.040 Because the entire generation has spoken.
00:42:09.960 Yeah, of course.
00:42:11.020 But there are a couple of good things here that have come out of this.
00:42:14.200 Number one, there has not been a popular uprising, a hysteria, to ban weapons in the United States.
00:42:23.200 That's what Time Magazine and CNN and the New York Times want.
00:42:28.420 Didn't happen.
00:42:30.360 All right.
00:42:30.580 In fact, Trump wanted a federal law to ban the sale of weapons, high-grade weapons, to anyone under 18, to anyone under 21.
00:42:46.340 21 would be the cutoff age.
00:42:49.860 And he couldn't get it done, and then he himself said, there's just no will to do it by anybody here in Washington because the people don't seem to want it.
00:43:02.640 Now, they did it in Florida, but they, on the federal level, they couldn't get it done because there wasn't a popular outcry.
00:43:10.580 So that's the good news.
00:43:11.760 But why are you surprised that Time Magazine, which is going bankrupt and has been a left-wing concern for decades, are doing this?
00:43:21.040 You're not surprised, right?
00:43:22.160 No, I'm not surprised.
00:43:23.000 I'm not surprised.
00:43:23.680 I am surprised that Citigroup is doing what they're doing.
00:43:26.920 When Citigroup says, let me give you this, Thursday, yesterday, they prohibited the sale of firearms to customers who have not passed a background check or who are younger than 21.
00:43:37.900 It also bars the sale of bump stocks and high-capacity magazines.
00:43:42.600 What does that even mean?
00:43:43.800 It will apply to clients who offer credit cards backed by Citigroup or borrow money or using banking services or raise capital through Citigroup.
00:43:54.800 Oh, wow.
00:43:56.700 But it's all BS because Citigroup can't possibly monitor that stuff.
00:44:03.320 They can't monitor it.
00:44:04.640 So if you bring a credit card, a Citigroup MasterCard, into a store and you buy a weapon, they're not going to be able to track it.
00:44:16.380 They're not going to be able to do it.
00:44:18.000 But hang on just a second.
00:44:19.400 What they're saying, though, is if you're wanting to do business, you're a gun store, and you need a bank.
00:44:29.320 If your bank is Citigroup, you're out.
00:44:31.620 You can't get funding, you can't get loans, they're not going to take your transactions unless you say, I won't sell high-capacity magazines, and I won't sell bump stocks, and I won't sell to anyone under 21.
00:44:49.200 That's a pretty big deal.
00:44:50.740 Again, they can't monitor that.
00:44:52.480 It's impossible to monitor it.
00:44:54.180 So it's a symbolic statement, but if I were a retail store, I would say, all right, I'm not going to do business with you either, Citigroup, because there's a million other places you can do business.
00:45:07.600 All right, so what Americans who listen to the Glenn Beck program and go to BillOReilly.com have to decide is what kind of country that you want.
00:45:17.020 And I think in this situation, Americans have decided that they want to be able to defend themselves, and they aren't going to buy into the far-left vision that the government will control how you defend yourself.
00:45:39.000 And all the polls show that, and no matter what the media does, jumping up and down, it's not going to change anytime soon.
00:45:48.700 That's good news.
00:45:50.560 That's actually good.
00:45:51.620 But I will tell you this, Bill.
00:45:54.280 I can't take the duplicity here that a baker must bake a cake for a gay wedding.
00:46:02.420 Must.
00:46:03.580 You can't just go to another bakery.
00:46:05.400 But Citigroup, one of the largest banking institutions in the world, and one the United States government bailed out, is now saying, we're not going to fund people who are selling constitutionally legal firearms.
00:46:22.680 We're not going to give...
00:46:23.600 You're objecting to their hypocrisy.
00:46:26.020 I am...
00:46:26.960 Corporate hypocrisy.
00:46:28.260 And the fact that these people have gotten government money, they have gotten government bailouts, there's only...
00:46:35.640 I mean, the banks now, what do we have, 10 big banks, 6 big banks?
00:46:39.060 If they decide to do this, and other banks decide to follow suit, you will see gun stores not be able to get any loans, no revolving loans, no lines of credit, won't be able to take any credit cards.
00:46:53.240 You'll be able to shut down the Second Amendment in other ways.
00:46:57.060 Well, I think that's an excellent point.
00:46:59.920 That's probably the backdoor way they're going, but somebody should sue Citibank and say, this is unconstitutional and you can't do this.
00:47:11.820 And let's see how the courts rule.
00:47:15.860 If the courts are going to rule against the baker, then the gun owner, all right, or the person who wants to own a gun...
00:47:26.060 Or the person selling the gun.
00:47:27.260 ...as the gay wedding person, right?
00:47:29.540 Exactly right.
00:47:30.880 Exactly right.
00:47:31.820 So, you assume the NRA, who actually wouldn't talk to me back, I was very offended, they wouldn't provide a spokesperson for the Bill O'Reilly.com broadcast that uncovered who's really behind the big march tomorrow.
00:47:47.420 Well, ah-ha!
00:47:49.500 Anyway.
00:47:50.140 Ah-ha!
00:47:51.080 What do you mean they wouldn't provide?
00:47:53.080 I'm sure, Will, after this program airs, be launched.
00:47:57.580 Because let's see, let's see what the federal courts do when presented with the situation that's almost the same.
00:48:03.620 Yes, I would hope that people exercise their right to bank with someone else, or to, if you're a gun store and this affects you, I hope that you file a legal suit.
00:48:19.320 All right, another shutdown is looming.
00:48:23.180 It goes to the Senate now.
00:48:24.760 What do you think of the spending bill?
00:48:26.640 Ah, Beck, you know, do I, what do I think of it?
00:48:33.460 The government spends far too much money.
00:48:36.160 They don't really care that the debt is $21 trillion.
00:48:40.600 If Trump is going to survive as a president, he's got to keep the machine rolling.
00:48:46.800 He gets the military money he wants and a little wall money.
00:48:51.220 So it'll get, it'll get done.
00:48:53.320 It's all about politics.
00:48:54.820 And so the train rolls down the tracks.
00:48:58.640 He says he will veto this bill because it doesn't, he's saying.
00:49:02.840 Yeah, he may.
00:49:03.720 Because it doesn't include the DREAM Act.
00:49:07.220 I mean, protesting in DACA.
00:49:10.220 Number one, he's not going to veto the spending bill.
00:49:13.640 All right, so he can say whatever he wants to say, but he's not going to do that.
00:49:17.520 He's just trying to play a political game to put the Democrats in a bad place.
00:49:22.120 So let me ask you this.
00:49:23.640 Yesterday, he hired John Bolton.
00:49:27.960 Yeah.
00:49:28.620 And the press was saying, John Bolton, another Fox News contributor.
00:49:33.620 No, he was the ambassador to the United Nations.
00:49:37.220 It's not, you know, he's not hiring a Fox News contributor.
00:49:41.900 He's hiring a guy who was the ambassador of the United Nations.
00:49:46.900 What do you think?
00:49:47.300 You know, when I first heard the story, I didn't get the name.
00:49:51.220 I thought Brian Kilmeade was hired.
00:49:53.600 Right.
00:49:54.600 Right.
00:49:55.180 That's the way they're treating it.
00:49:57.240 And you know what?
00:49:58.320 I would have a...
00:49:59.200 I think Kilmeade is going to be a judge in North Korea?
00:50:01.040 Oh, my God.
00:50:03.120 I know.
00:50:04.120 I know.
00:50:05.420 It really was.
00:50:06.680 They're treating this like it was Steve Doocy appointed to the cabinet.
00:50:10.220 No, that's not.
00:50:10.600 Yeah, well, that's next.
00:50:12.200 Right.
00:50:12.920 So what do you think of John Bolton?
00:50:15.720 Well, I'm growing a mustache right now, by the way, in simpatico with the ambassador.
00:50:21.580 I think Bolton is a hard liner.
00:50:28.180 Is he Dr. Strangelove?
00:50:30.060 I hope not.
00:50:32.000 You don't know him very well.
00:50:33.920 I didn't use him a lot on the factor because it was kind of a one note with the ambassador.
00:50:41.000 There wasn't a lot of subtext to his opinion, so I don't put on people who were kind of predictable,
00:50:48.600 so I didn't use him a lot.
00:50:49.760 But I can't really tell you, he's very smart, but I can tell you this.
00:50:56.300 The guy who's running national security is not John Bolton.
00:51:00.120 It is Secretary of Defense Mattis.
00:51:02.600 He's running the show, and that will continue.
00:51:06.000 Yes.
00:51:06.440 All right, back with Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com here in just a second.
00:51:10.700 Let me tell you about ZipRecruiter.
00:51:14.040 You need great people to work with.

00:51:47.340 and looks for the exact person you're describing.
00:51:51.580 It finds them, even if they haven't gone and seen your post, it will go out and find them,
00:51:59.460 and then it invites them, hey, there's this job opening you should apply for.
00:52:03.220 When that application comes in, it's highlighted, so you just don't get a stack of applications.
00:52:09.820 It goes back and it sorts through and says, these are the priority people that seem to fit
00:52:15.640 exactly what you're looking for.
00:52:17.120 This is the ZipRecruiter difference, and you can find out today why people in the first

00:52:34.900 Glenn Beck.
00:52:36.840 Mercury.
00:52:44.620 Glenn Beck.
00:52:45.580 So there's, you know, a lot of things that I understand that Bill is, you know, looks and
00:52:54.940 says, you know, I don't know how modern electronics and television and remote control work.
00:53:00.940 And then there are things that he understands that I have no concept on.
00:53:04.660 He is a Trump whisperer.
00:53:05.900 He's my Trump whisperer.
00:53:07.480 So let me ask you this, Bill.
00:53:10.280 Yes.
00:53:10.720 Put yourself, put yourself into the office.
00:53:14.000 The press had this, I mean, they had like, I swear to you, they have an aneurysm every
00:53:18.840 time that Donald Trump shifts in his chair.
00:53:22.080 You know, he called, he called Putin to congratulate.
00:53:26.440 Okay.
00:53:27.160 Well, here's the, here's the thing.
00:53:29.000 In that story, it said that people in the administration told him, you can't do that.
00:53:35.080 But if I understand Trump, if I didn't want him to call Putin, I would say, you know, the
00:53:44.960 first thing you have to do, Mr. President, you must call Vladimir Putin, because then
00:53:50.760 he'd be like, no, I'm not doing that.
00:53:53.240 But you tell him not to do something, you can guarantee he's going to do it.
00:53:58.360 Am I wrong?
00:53:59.680 Very good, Beck.
00:54:01.080 Yes.
00:54:01.520 Thank you.
00:54:02.060 There is a lot like you.
00:54:03.700 It's the same kind of thing.
00:54:05.500 It really is.
00:54:06.840 It really is.
00:54:07.660 The way you handle Beck is, if you don't want Beck, if you don't want, if you handle Trump
00:54:13.020 is, if you don't want Trump to call Vlad, all right, because Vlad's a villain, as I told
00:54:20.460 Trump in my interview, my last interview with him on Super Bowl 2017, you don't want that
00:54:26.340 to happen, you say, Mr. President, it looks like Putin won the election, which, of course,
00:54:34.200 was a total fraud.
00:54:35.800 But something you may not know, the CIA picked up that in a private phone call, Putin called
00:54:43.240 you a moron.
00:54:45.440 I don't know if we want to start lying to the president.
00:54:48.800 No, no.
00:54:49.500 I mean, it would work, but.
00:54:50.680 You say in a phone call, okay, now the odds are that Putin has called Trump a moron a
00:54:57.280 thousand times, okay, so you're probably not lying.
00:55:01.560 Right.
00:55:01.940 The odds are with you.
00:55:03.600 But all you have to do is say that, and then Trump will never, ever, you know, do anything
00:55:10.680 friendly to Putin.
00:55:12.140 Let me ask you this.
00:55:12.800 I'll tell you, Hamlin, you've got to put a negative on it, but, you know, Trump is, he's
00:55:19.880 the kind of a guy who he listens to what you say at the moment, but if it doesn't, if it
00:55:26.940 isn't a personal thing, he doesn't incorporate it.
00:55:31.060 So there's got to be a personal attachment to Donald Trump about the point you're making
00:55:37.220 in order for him to really get the point or even consider the point.
00:55:43.960 You see what I'm saying?
00:55:44.540 So you're kind of, I mean, yeah, I mean, you're, you're, you're joking, I know, but you're kind
00:55:48.220 of half serious about, you are serious about the point.
00:55:51.200 That last thing.
00:55:52.140 Right.
00:55:52.520 You're serious about the point.
00:55:53.820 You have to personalize everything.
00:55:56.180 You have to personalize it all.
00:55:57.640 So let me, let me go here.
00:56:03.380 Uh, and, and we may have to take a break because this may be a longer discussion, but I'm sure
00:56:09.680 you saw the Twitter fight between, between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, which I think is
00:56:15.020 hysterical.
00:56:16.100 Uh, you know, Joe Biden is like, I would have taken him back behind the school and I would
00:56:20.920 have beat the snot out of him.
00:56:22.440 And Trump's like, I could beat you up.
00:56:25.200 My dad's bigger than your dad.
00:56:26.680 And they start going at it.
00:56:28.880 I would like the Bill O'Reilly opinion in a fight.
00:56:33.700 Which one wins?
00:56:35.740 Andrew Jackson.
00:56:39.020 No, seriously.
00:56:40.140 Come on.
00:56:40.500 Which one?
00:56:41.260 I think Jackson would shoot them both and it wouldn't be a fight.
00:56:45.460 Not since old Hickory was in the white house.
00:56:49.440 Right.
00:56:50.020 We had this level of discourse.
00:56:52.380 I know.
00:56:53.040 Well, yes we have, but, uh, I've, I've, I've really.
00:56:56.680 I think Biden might win that because he would grab Trump's hair.
00:57:01.640 I have to tell you, I think Trump would pound Biden.
00:57:04.820 I think Biden would run around the ring like a little girl.
00:57:08.740 I think.
00:57:10.080 No, come on.
00:57:11.500 And Trump's got.
00:57:12.100 Middle class Joe?
00:57:12.720 You're talking about lunchbox Joe?
00:57:14.080 I am.
00:57:14.520 I think, I think Trump actually, he's got some, he's got some heft to him.
00:57:19.020 Yeah.
00:57:19.240 He's a big man.
00:57:20.440 He's a big man.
00:57:21.420 I think he'd pound Biden into, and he wouldn't be afraid.
00:57:24.720 He's already been in the ring.
00:57:25.980 He's, you know, he's, he's WrestleMania.
00:57:28.400 He'd do it.
00:57:29.680 He'd do it.
00:57:30.760 It's the hair though, Beck.
00:57:32.040 You got to watch that hair.
00:57:33.700 All right.
00:57:34.160 That gives Biden a little bit of an advantage.
00:57:36.500 All right.
00:57:37.100 If it's gloves, you're probably right.
00:57:40.920 No biting, no biting, Joe.
00:57:44.940 Back in a minute with Bill O'Reilly.
00:57:48.240 Glenn Beck, Mercury.
00:58:03.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.
00:58:05.100 So something that, uh, that Bill O'Reilly, who's joins us now, predicted, uh, right after
00:58:12.040 the first of the year, he said that the media would go crazy and make it all about affairs
00:58:19.660 and women and the Me Too movement.
00:58:22.100 And, uh, I don't even know if Stormy Daniels was known at that point, but Bill, you are spot
00:58:27.880 on.
00:58:28.460 That's, that's all they're concentrating on now.
00:58:31.180 Yeah.
00:58:31.680 And there'll be more to come.
00:58:32.720 Um, um, it's interesting that it's not getting as much traction in the TV ratings, um, as
00:58:45.100 I thought it might, uh, because Americans now, I think even the ones who don't like Donald
00:58:52.380 Trump, no, this is a corrupt deal.
00:58:56.840 So, well, let me define the corrupt deal.
00:59:00.920 The hate Trump press, we move him at all costs.
00:59:06.160 We want a coup, a media coup to take out a president in the United States.
00:59:11.100 They know now that Mueller is not likely to indict Trump or any high ranking Trump officials
00:59:20.500 on anything.
00:59:21.920 All right.
00:59:22.260 They know that.
00:59:23.320 They've just abandoned that now.
00:59:25.320 Pretty much because the inspector general of the justice department's report is due soon.
00:59:31.080 And that will say that the FBI just booted both the Hillary Clinton and the Russian collusion
00:59:37.840 investigations.
00:59:38.580 That's what that report's going to say.
00:59:40.980 If it didn't say that, McCabe never would have been fired because the report is done.
00:59:46.920 All right.
00:59:47.440 All right.
00:59:47.940 So then the immediate led by CNN turns to the women.
00:59:55.880 So the women come forward and they say whatever they want to say.
00:59:59.940 But most of the women want money.
01:00:04.460 They're doing it for money.
01:00:07.260 Obviously, the porn actress wants to go and be paid for doing whatever she does on stage.
01:00:15.280 And she can jack up her fees because she's now famous.
01:00:19.340 So they want money.
01:00:20.800 And people know that they know.
01:00:25.520 You know, it's what's crazy, Bill, is we cannot live.
01:00:29.860 Our society cannot function at any level.
01:00:32.300 If you can agree to a settlement to avoid court, and this works for the people, this doesn't
01:00:40.220 work for necessarily just the corporations.
01:00:42.460 It works for the people, too.
01:00:44.000 If you're going after, you know, I'm going to go after Procter & Gamble who, you know, treated
01:00:51.640 me this way.
01:00:52.720 Procter & Gamble has all the money in the world to fight it.
01:00:55.340 So it's many times much better to make them pay and settle out of court.
01:01:03.580 Otherwise, you're going to be broke with a chance of just not winning anything.
01:01:08.440 And your life is going to be turned upside down.
01:01:11.240 So settlements are reasonable and good for several reasons.
01:01:15.240 But these people are signing these settlements or signing these statements for the payday
01:01:22.640 and for the payoff.
01:01:24.000 Some of them are real.
01:01:25.100 Some of them are not.
01:01:26.160 But if they sign that and then they don't abide by the spirit of it, nobody's going to offer
01:01:33.960 settlements, are they?
01:01:36.300 No.
01:01:36.740 And it's worse than that.
01:01:38.380 It's a fraud upon the court.
01:01:40.280 Yes.
01:01:40.700 So these lawyers, and it's lawyer-driven, they say, oh, you really didn't know what you were
01:01:47.340 signing, did you?
01:01:49.100 Oh, no, I didn't really know.
01:01:51.880 So therefore, we're not going to abide by it.
01:01:55.780 Now, what the courts have to do, the federal courts, is they have to slap these people down.
01:02:01.440 Look, if you settle a case, and I know this, I'm a poster boy for this, that doesn't mean
01:02:08.200 you're saying you did anything wrong.
01:02:11.080 It just means that the accommodation being made is economically, socially, whatever it
01:02:19.520 may be, better than dragging something out for three years and getting trashed in the
01:02:26.220 media.
01:02:27.660 All right?
01:02:28.320 So you're not pleading guilty to anything.
01:02:33.120 Yet that is what these people are doing.
01:02:37.460 They're saying, well, all settlements mean you did it, and we don't have to honor it anyway.
01:02:44.020 We'll take the money, and then we'll turn around and violate everything that we signed.
01:02:49.500 The courts have got to start to really crack down on this hard with punitive action, or
01:02:57.380 we will have chaos, which we already have, in the civil judicial system.
01:03:03.300 And therefore, worthy cases are going to be backed up for eight, ten years.
01:03:08.720 If you don't have any settlements and you've got to try everything, you'll never get your
01:03:12.680 day in court.
01:03:14.040 So this is a very serious thing.
01:03:16.320 And, of course, the media and the greedy lawyers couldn't care less about the country
01:03:20.980 or destroying the fabric of what we have in a justice system that doesn't really work
01:03:27.180 now.
01:03:27.880 So it's heading to anarchy.
01:03:30.320 So there's the Stormy Daniels, which, you know, I don't know.
01:03:35.040 At this point, I don't care.
01:03:36.960 She doesn't have any credibility.
01:03:39.220 He doesn't necessarily have any credibility.
01:03:41.740 And I don't.
01:03:42.800 I'm beyond it.
01:03:43.800 But the thing that the one person that does have seemingly some credibility, because she
01:03:51.180 never took a payday, was this this apprentice person who took Donald Trump to court.
01:03:59.460 The court decided this week that, yes, he is.
01:04:02.920 She can take him to court, even though she's he's the president.
01:04:06.680 Who's her lawyer?
01:04:08.780 I don't know.
01:04:10.640 Gloria Allred.
01:04:11.420 Do I have to say any more?
01:04:15.300 You don't.
01:04:15.940 Nope.
01:04:16.340 You just solved that one.
01:04:17.700 All right.
01:04:18.080 Thank you very much.
01:04:18.720 Thank you.
01:04:19.400 Thank you, everyone.
01:04:20.100 Good night, everybody.
01:04:21.140 Good night.
01:04:21.620 Bill, I think that's all this stuff ties in really well with a column you wrote this week
01:04:25.040 about how the media is targeting and going after people for their political views.
01:04:32.140 Everybody who is in this conversation has been a victim of this at some level.
01:04:37.440 You think this is getting worse?
01:04:38.560 Well, I've tagged it the destroy industry.
01:04:43.320 All right.
01:04:44.040 There is now an industry in the United States to destroy human beings.
01:04:48.500 And it's owned by the far left, funded by George Soros and people like that.
01:04:54.580 Very, very behind the scenes.
01:04:57.300 Very dark.
01:04:59.080 Nobody reports on it.
01:05:00.740 But it is an industry.
01:05:02.220 So it's get Bill O'Reilly, get Sean Hannity, get Glenn Beck, get Roger Ailes, get Donald
01:05:11.680 Trump.
01:05:12.480 And there's a big list.
01:05:14.980 These people actually have conference calls twice a week.
01:05:18.220 Two times a week.
01:05:21.460 And how are we doing getting this person?
01:05:24.700 Do we have a sponsor boycott up and running on that show?
01:05:30.220 It's Rush Limbaugh is on that list.
01:05:34.180 It is unbelievable what is happening.
01:05:38.020 And who's going to stop it?
01:05:41.200 Who's going to stop it?
01:05:42.280 Well, I will tell you this.
01:05:44.520 It is disturbing because they are now in the offices of Facebook and YouTube and Google.
01:05:50.880 They are the...
01:05:52.120 Every mechanism of communication that we have.
01:05:55.360 Yes.
01:05:55.980 I wrote this column and I really appreciate you pointing it out, Stu.
01:05:59.440 It's on BillOReilly.com.
01:06:02.120 Okay.
01:06:03.940 It's...
01:06:04.420 I'd love to even read it, but I'm not going to, of course, do that.
01:06:07.400 But I back up what I say with names, all right, and how it's going down.
01:06:14.280 And people, you know, I'm not a conspiratorialist, Beck.
01:06:17.040 That's your playing field.
01:06:19.280 That's not me.
01:06:20.480 I believe the things that I pointed out were all right.
01:06:24.560 All right?
01:06:25.400 And I'm reporting.
01:06:27.180 And that's why it's so important for people to check out BillOReilly.com.
01:06:30.880 And by the way, we have a whole bunch of clips posted this weekend free
01:06:34.420 so that people see the investigative reporting we're doing on this website
01:06:39.840 in addition to our analysis.
01:06:41.940 But I'll tell you what.
01:06:43.720 This is so dark and so evil, and there's so much money behind it
01:06:49.760 that if you speak your mind in this country and you're a conservative
01:06:53.660 or a traditional person, you're a target.
01:06:57.060 Are you concerned at all?
01:06:58.500 Anything or they can contrive anything because all accusations are convictions now
01:07:05.120 in the New York Times, okay?
01:07:07.720 It is horrible.
01:07:09.720 And you said at the beginning of our show, we're descending into a fascist state here.
01:07:15.580 Yeah.
01:07:16.640 Are you concerned at all, Bill, about your voice on the Internet that, you know,
01:07:24.140 Dennis Prager is now being banned and, you know, hit the Prager University.
01:07:29.460 Those are fact-based, not hate-driven.
01:07:35.020 They're really well done, and they are being banned on YouTube and demonetized.
01:07:44.040 Well, if you can't get your stuff on YouTube, if you're demonetized,
01:07:48.860 there's no voice out there.
01:07:50.360 There's none.
01:07:50.800 It is absolutely terrifying, all right, what is happening in the communications industry
01:07:59.100 as the network news, cable news, all of those concerns in five years
01:08:06.720 aren't going to have any influence because viewers are fleeing,
01:08:11.220 and they're going into the Internet.
01:08:13.480 So the YouTubes and all of this other business, I'm a Luddite, but I have my people on it.
01:08:20.260 They're going to control the flow of information.
01:08:24.060 All the Twitters and the YouTubes and the Facebooks that are out there.
01:08:29.720 Bill, you are on it, and I really appreciate it and appreciate your stance
01:08:35.240 and that you come on every week and, you know, hawk some T-shirt or something that you're selling.
01:08:41.560 No, no, no T-shirts, just the general arch of Bill O'Reilly.com.
01:08:46.960 Wear T-shirts are available.
01:08:49.160 Okay, there you go.
01:08:50.860 There you go.
01:08:52.020 Yes.
01:08:52.780 Killing England after six months in the marketplace, still selling 2,000 copies a week back.
01:08:59.320 And I'm telling you, it's a great book.
01:09:01.920 People will love it if they're going on vacation.
01:09:03.800 And I appreciate you having me on, you know.
01:09:06.260 I mean, you're the guy that...
01:09:08.740 No, no, no.
01:09:09.240 Don't suck up to me.
01:09:10.920 You've already sucked up to Sue today.
01:09:12.440 Don't suck up to me.
01:09:13.580 Don't do it.
01:09:13.860 All right.
01:09:14.360 Bill O'Reilly.
01:09:15.280 Thanks a lot.
01:09:15.860 That was a mistake.
01:09:16.740 Thanks a lot, brother.
01:09:20.440 All right.
01:09:24.320 Car Shield.
01:09:25.900 I'm sitting here looking at my son who has...
01:09:29.440 What year is your Jetta?
01:09:30.420 2009 Jetta.
01:09:33.800 How much did you just shout it out?
01:09:36.620 How much did that sensor cost you?
01:09:38.940 2,000.
01:09:39.620 2,000.
01:09:40.560 You talked him down a little.
01:09:42.840 Yeah.
01:09:43.240 Yeah, okay.
01:09:43.680 So, $2,000, he was like, I can't.
01:09:46.040 I don't know what I'm going to do, Dad.
01:09:47.940 I'm like, should have had Car Shield.
01:09:49.180 They would have covered that.
01:09:50.920 He goes and he gets the 2,000.
01:09:52.960 He gets the $2,000.
01:09:54.620 He gives it to the repair shop, which had to be the dealership.
01:09:58.740 No other repair person could do it.
01:10:00.200 It has to be the dealership.
01:10:01.580 So, that's why it was jacked up in price.
01:10:05.040 And then he gets into the car.
01:10:06.980 They drive it out and turn it off.
01:10:08.980 He gets in and he turns the key.
01:10:11.920 Doesn't start.
01:10:13.580 And the problem this time was?
01:10:17.100 Real loud.
01:10:18.900 Key module doesn't work.
01:10:19.840 The key module doesn't work.
01:10:21.060 So, another little chip.
01:10:23.280 Another little chip.
01:10:24.760 So, here's the thing.
01:10:26.740 Get Car Shield.
01:10:28.600 Get Car Shield.
01:10:30.380 If only a family member was doing commercials for Car Shield, maybe he would have learned this lesson in advance.
01:10:36.000 You might.
01:10:36.360 You might.
01:10:37.140 Listen to your father.
01:10:38.920 Get Car Shield.

01:10:56.560 If you've got an older car, it's a chip, man.

01:11:35.060 Glenn Beck.
01:11:36.980 Mercury.
01:11:45.100 Glenn Beck.
01:11:49.520 So glad you're here.
01:11:51.260 Chuck Schumer had an announcement yesterday that came as a surprise to me.
01:11:57.320 Listen to this.
01:11:59.880 You have it, Sarah?
01:12:01.000 Chuck Schumer on austerity.
01:12:06.580 Austerity.
01:12:07.580 This spending agreement brings the era of austerity to an unceremonious end
01:12:14.960 and represents one of the most significant investments in the middle class in recent history.
01:12:21.540 Okay.
01:12:22.020 All right.
01:12:22.360 So I want to hear a couple of things.
01:12:24.060 First of all, Chuck got everything that he's wanted.
01:12:27.520 He's got that huge investment in the middle class.
01:12:30.300 So if it doesn't work, remember Chuck Schumer.
01:12:33.360 But also, more importantly, the end of austerity?
01:12:39.180 The last 10 years, this has been austerity?
01:12:43.140 We've bailed everybody out.
01:12:45.380 We've invested in infrastructure.
01:12:47.880 We've doubled the national debt.
01:12:49.460 More than doubled the national debt.
01:12:51.560 We've given people health insurance.
01:12:55.400 They've gotten everything they've wanted.
01:12:57.320 The cupboards were bare.
01:12:58.780 This is austerity?
01:13:02.140 Wow.
01:13:03.180 Absolutely incredible that you could make that statement.
01:13:06.200 I mean...
01:13:06.620 Only the arrogance of somebody in Washington could say that.
01:13:10.300 And I just...
01:13:10.840 I can't...
01:13:11.500 And I know this is somewhat partisan.
01:13:13.820 Can I say something somewhat partisan today?
01:13:15.640 You know what?
01:13:15.980 Say something wholly partisan.
01:13:17.540 Wholly partisan, if I may.
01:13:19.020 Yeah.
01:13:19.520 If Chuck Schumer is happy, I am not happy.
01:13:22.800 And the fact that Chuck Schumer is happy with a deal that he negotiated when the Republicans
01:13:27.920 were in control of the House, Senate, and presidency is incredibly disturbing.
01:13:32.140 May I make you feel better or worse?
01:13:34.520 Okay.
01:13:34.840 Sure.
01:13:35.040 Okay.
01:13:35.320 I'm not sure which one.
01:13:36.840 That's not partisan.
01:13:38.560 That's principled.
01:13:40.260 You know what Chuck Schumer's principles are.
01:13:43.160 Yeah.
01:13:43.500 We are not in austerity.
01:13:46.900 Austerity doesn't have you spend $9 trillion in eight years.
01:13:54.180 That's not austerity.
01:13:56.300 This bill hasn't...
01:13:57.580 We just spent $1 trillion.
01:14:00.260 We added $1 trillion to our debt in the last six months.
01:14:06.580 And then he announces the end of austerity because we've just signed a new spending bill
01:14:13.480 that will spend it even faster.
01:14:15.940 That's not austerity.
01:14:17.680 That's not partisan to say that.
01:14:20.400 You know his principles.
01:14:22.240 Your principles are diametrically opposed when it comes to spending and the size and scope
01:14:27.660 of government.
01:14:28.220 If he is happy with something that has been done with the size and the scope and the
01:14:32.800 spending, I can guarantee...
01:14:34.880 I don't have to read it.
01:14:36.520 I mean, I should.
01:14:38.600 But he hasn't read it either.
01:14:40.520 I don't have to read it either.
01:14:40.740 Glenn Beck.
01:14:59.360 Mercury.
01:15:00.460 Well, the gravy days in Washington appear to be over for Silicon Valley companies.
01:15:19.400 This is really, really good news.
01:15:22.140 After years of pretty much doing anything that they pleased with little regulation, tech giants
01:15:28.600 like Google, Facebook, Twitter have been in the doghouse recently because of the Russian
01:15:33.520 election meddling and shady data mining.
01:15:36.360 But this week, they were also handed their first significant defeat as the Senate passed
01:15:41.920 a sex trafficking bill by a vote of 97 to 2.
01:15:46.400 I don't know who these two people were, but I got to find out.
01:15:50.220 How you were against this is beyond me.
01:15:52.740 The House passed this bill last month, so it's now going to go to President Trump's desk
01:15:57.960 for signing, and I'm sure he's going to sign this.
01:16:00.100 This is really important.
01:16:02.240 The legislation makes websites liable for knowingly facilitating sex trafficking.
01:16:09.260 And all of these websites have been hiding behind saying, we can't police everything.
01:16:13.860 And they said, no, no, no, that's not what the bill says.
01:16:16.760 It says if you're knowingly doing it.
01:16:19.400 The law was aimed really at sites like Backpage.com, which is accused of posting ads that promote
01:16:26.280 the trafficking of minors.
01:16:27.860 Now, here's the thing.
01:16:29.580 It's not that they just posted those.
01:16:31.220 They went in and they were saying what the code words is, what the code words are, how
01:16:37.320 to change the language so you could communicate to those who are trying to buy minors, and
01:16:43.240 how you speak that language to make your ad a little more effective.
01:16:48.220 It was evil and sick.
01:16:51.740 States attorneys will now be able to prosecute websites that host the sex trafficking content,
01:16:57.360 and victims of sex trafficking are also going to be allowed now to sue those websites.
01:17:04.180 I think it was the Village Voice, isn't it, that Backpage originally came from?
01:17:10.000 And the owners of Village Voice, they were like, okay, we're going to get rid of the Village
01:17:14.860 Voice, and we're going to keep Backpage, because there was so much money to be made on it.
01:17:18.820 And there's a lot of money that they have made on the destruction of human beings.
01:17:22.660 The bill was co-authored by Ohio Republican Rob Portman and Dick Blumenthal from Connecticut
01:17:30.960 that the tech industry initially lobbied hard against the bill because they're afraid it's
01:17:36.900 going to open up the websites to lawsuits over content that users post.
01:17:41.420 But it is my understanding it's very carefully crafted.
01:17:44.960 In recent weeks, they have backed down on their opposition because, you know, everybody was
01:17:51.600 hammering them over, you know, the election interference and the data breaches and, you
01:17:56.760 know, their overall role in the U.S. culture.
01:17:58.980 They thought, you know what, I don't think we're going to protect the sex traffickers anymore.
01:18:03.540 So we have had a week of juvenile insults and politics.
01:18:10.400 We're heading into a week-long or a weekend of more divisive left-wing posturing at the
01:18:17.380 March for Our Lives.
01:18:19.180 But it is nice to see that both sides of the aisle can agree on something almost unanimously.
01:18:27.260 This is a rare chance to applaud both sides of Congress.
01:18:33.960 Legislation that is vitally important and long overdue.
01:18:37.600 The trafficking of children, when it happens online, most of it on Backpage.com, they are
01:18:46.380 finally going to put these people out of business, possibly out of money, and hopefully those
01:18:56.380 who are acting criminally behind bars for trafficking in children.
01:19:02.540 Good job, Congress.
01:19:07.600 It's Friday, March 23rd.
01:19:12.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:19:18.380 All right.
01:19:21.160 Let's, let me tell you a story about two cafe owners.
01:19:28.620 These, these two cafe owners, they, you know, it was their dream to own a cafe and they, they
01:19:35.260 started it in the, uh, uh, in the lobby of a superior court and it's a, you know, cafe
01:19:40.640 that everybody comes and they have lunch.
01:19:42.400 Uh, and it's, uh, it's, it's independently run and it's these, these two people have been
01:19:49.120 there for 11 years.
01:19:51.140 They've been, uh, you know, doing a great job in business, but it's a small business.
01:19:56.740 Somebody walks in and sits down.
01:20:00.080 They don't know who it was.
01:20:01.620 They are disgusted by what they have to endure and they, they file a complaint with the county.
01:20:12.220 Now these guys are going to be losing their business.
01:20:16.380 In fact, in about 20 minutes, they're going to a court hearing here in California and they
01:20:20.900 may lose their business because someone complained that the music that they're playing includes
01:20:28.460 Christian music.
01:20:29.680 And my gosh, you cannot sit in a cafe, a public space and, and have Muzak that is Christian.
01:20:39.340 They also had Christmas decorations up at one point.
01:20:44.360 Yes.
01:20:44.680 Christmas decorations.
01:20:45.940 And that was offensive as well.
01:20:48.080 So they were ordered to take down all of the decorations.
01:20:51.440 They're not allowed to put anything religious on the walls.
01:20:54.180 And they certainly cannot put a Christian Muzak on because that's really offensive.
01:21:01.620 They said, no, we're going to continue to do that.
01:21:06.800 Now the county has taken away their space, is putting it up for auction and they may be
01:21:13.400 out.
01:21:13.960 They're fighting it in court.
01:21:16.040 Carlo Mango is the owner of cafe justice.
01:21:18.880 His wife is in court right now, waiting for another hearing.
01:21:22.800 Welcome, Carlo.
01:21:23.720 How are you?
01:21:25.540 Good morning, Mr. Beck.
01:21:27.420 I'm doing fine.
01:21:28.680 Thank you.
01:21:29.280 So tell me, tell me, I mean this, I read this and being from Texas, this is nuts.
01:21:37.340 This is nuts.
01:21:39.860 Tell me what you know.
01:21:41.100 Tell me what you know about the complaint.
01:21:43.720 Well, after our first opportunity to have to defend ourselves in court, we have found out
01:21:55.340 that the complaint was actually from a group called Freedom from Religion.
01:22:00.680 It's an atheist group.
01:22:02.180 And they have basically been doing this kind of stuff to different organizations.
01:22:08.860 In fact, the most recent one that I've heard was they put action last year against the Chino
01:22:15.540 Unified School District for having an invocation before their board meetings.
01:22:20.140 And so, yeah, this complaint was done to us, I guess, last year.
01:22:29.060 And we were first made known about this complaint in October.
01:22:34.420 All right.
01:22:35.120 So you have, have you officially lost it?
01:22:40.100 I mean, no, I know you're facing eviction, but is there any hope that this isn't going to go through
01:22:46.160 at this point?
01:22:46.740 Well, there's always hope.
01:22:50.140 It's just, we're fighting.
01:22:54.500 Again, we're Americans.
01:22:56.760 We have the right to do what we're doing, have a business.
01:23:01.160 And we, you know, we happen to play Christian music along with other type of music.
01:23:07.200 And so we've done nothing wrong.
01:23:09.040 And so that's what we're hoping to show.
01:23:12.240 We're fighting to the end.
01:23:13.560 And right now in eviction court, hopefully our attorney will be able to, you know, put
01:23:21.520 our views across and the judge would see fit to, you know, at least give us opportunity
01:23:27.260 to go to trial.
01:23:28.000 There's nothing, there's nothing in the lease that says anything like this, right?
01:23:38.380 Nothing.
01:23:38.960 No, sir.
01:23:40.700 So what are they evicting you on?
01:23:43.840 On what grounds?
01:23:44.860 Well, at this point, the eviction is actually a strategy from the department that's responsible
01:23:53.100 for the lease.
01:23:54.660 And like I said, we've been here 11 years.
01:23:58.360 This is not part of what they would call the purchasing department.
01:24:01.480 So there's no time limit for contracts.
01:24:06.220 And as long as we're doing our, you know, what we, we're fulfilling what we, our service
01:24:12.080 to the community here, and we've broken no laws or any contract areas, we're fine.
01:24:18.700 In fact, the courthouse, the, I would say the regents of the Superior Courthouse and the
01:24:25.260 rest of the staff here support us.
01:24:27.340 We have a high approval rating from, from the court, and they're just as upset about
01:24:33.320 this as we are.
01:24:37.080 What happens to you and your wife if you're put out?
01:24:43.060 Well, we, if they try to, you know, if this goes through with the eviction, we're still going
01:24:50.440 to continue to fight, you know, because again, they, they're trampling on our, our rights here.
01:24:56.460 But, uh, we're going to be basically having to take all our equipment out and, and store
01:25:02.320 it and, uh, see what, what we, you know, as far as our occupation is concerned, this is
01:25:07.840 our livelihood.
01:25:09.340 Yeah.
01:25:09.860 And it's not like, it's not like you're in, you know, one, uh, location that everybody has
01:25:16.200 walked to and, you know, left their office.
01:25:18.400 You're actually in the building that you service.
01:25:21.660 So, and, and this is a, this is a, um, you know, a, a, a federal building that is, or
01:25:27.640 a, a state building that is, you know, I would imagine has security and everything else.
01:25:31.720 So it's a hassle for people to go.
01:25:33.100 So they're not going to be going out and finding you in some new location.
01:25:36.100 You have to start from scratch.
01:25:39.260 Yes, sir.
01:25:40.440 That's true.
01:25:42.240 We would have to start from scratch.
01:25:43.620 I don't mean to make your day worse.
01:25:46.000 I mean, I know you, you know that, um, what is your, what does your attorney say?
01:25:53.300 Well, you know, um, the last two weeks has actually been, uh, quite a miracle because we're
01:26:00.540 getting so much, um, support.
01:26:04.120 Uh, we started a, uh, an awareness on, on social media and we were actually, uh,
01:26:13.620 quite amazed with the response regarding this situation.
01:26:17.460 We were, we're getting people from different parts of the United States, um, chiming in
01:26:23.460 their support.
01:26:23.960 And we've actually had a couple of, uh, attorney, uh, attorneys call us up to support us in this.
01:26:30.180 And, uh, we actually have, uh, like I said, this is a fight.
01:26:36.320 And, and like I said, I'm, I'm, I'm not normally doing things in court.
01:26:40.880 And so this is a new thing for, for us having to go to court just for doing what we do normally.
01:26:48.440 And so it's, it's a whole new arena, but we're grateful because we're seeing that there's,
01:26:55.160 you know, there's other Americans that are supportive of, of, of our efforts and standing
01:27:00.520 firm.
01:27:00.960 So, so how can we, how can we help?
01:27:05.560 Well, you know, I, like I said, I, I appreciate the time with you and, and just getting Americans.
01:27:11.400 I think what, what we're seeing right now is, is, um, it's ludicrous that we actually can have
01:27:19.520 a group like this freedom from religious group, uh, come in and say, I don't like what you're
01:27:27.080 doing and actually have, uh, a department from our, uh, county kind of acquiesce to that,
01:27:36.540 you know, and, and, and say, Hey, we're going to have to let you go.
01:27:39.920 We're going to have to shut you down because somebody complained about your Christian music.
01:27:44.520 It's, it's completely ludicrous.
01:27:46.460 I mean, we're in America and, and, and so the more people, I guess, that, uh, that will
01:27:54.900 regain our understanding about what, what we're supposed to be as Americans, what rights we
01:27:59.540 have, the more we can stand firm and, and regain our ground.
01:28:04.740 Are you, are you, you're, you're, you're this county that you're in, which county is it?
01:28:11.260 This is San Bernardino County.
01:28:12.580 Uh, is that a real liberal county or a real conservative county or, or what?
01:28:18.160 Well, you know what, just to give you an understanding, um, the, I respect the board
01:28:24.480 members of the county because they, they pretty much, uh, are good Americans.
01:28:30.640 They also stand for the same things that, uh, most Americans stand for regarding our, our
01:28:36.640 liberties.
01:28:37.000 And in fact, I, I was just at the board meeting this last Tuesday to present our case before
01:28:44.340 the board and the board has, uh, agreed because they're not, they weren't aware of what this
01:28:50.720 department was doing.
01:28:51.900 And so they had agreed to, uh, start an inquiry.
01:28:56.320 In fact, uh, it, uh, it was just, uh, pretty amazing that the, the, the chairman of the
01:29:02.040 board had concurred in such a way that, you know, they're, they're going to look into this.
01:29:08.960 So, um, you know, this is a, the city of Rancho Cucamonga, I would say on, on the most
01:29:16.300 part is a very normal conservative, uh, town and, and the majority of people in here disagree
01:29:25.900 with what's happening.
01:29:26.920 In fact, um, they're surprised that it's happening.
01:29:30.280 Right.
01:29:30.640 So, well, I, I would think that, you know, uh, real liberals, you know, not, not progressives
01:29:36.300 and, and, and, you know, the fascistic side of progressivism, uh, would be, would be for
01:29:41.980 this.
01:29:42.240 Everybody should be standing for your right to liberty.
01:29:44.260 Um, Carlo, where, where can people reach out to you or what's your Facebook page?
01:29:49.800 Well, we, uh, we have a Facebook page that says, uh, Cafe Justice, San Bernardino.
01:29:57.580 Um, if they just look that up, there's people that are starting pages now on our behalf.
01:30:03.160 So link to that.
01:30:06.080 Carlo, thank you so much.
01:30:07.220 I appreciate it.
01:30:08.280 Cafe, Cafe Justice.
01:30:10.580 You bet.
01:30:14.260 I mean, they could have delivered some food for our support, but whatever, you know, no
01:30:17.120 big deal.
01:30:20.060 We trash them about 45 minutes if we don't have hamburgers.
01:30:25.100 This is crazy.
01:30:26.320 Just crazy.
01:30:27.120 Welcome to the program.
01:30:28.120 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:30:30.240 It's, uh, Casper.
01:30:32.000 I am, I have to tell you, I'm, I'm staying at this, uh, Airbnb here in California.
01:30:36.880 And, uh, oh my God, I think I've, I, I, this is the, this is the second day here.
01:30:42.760 And I have woken up every hour, uh, about the same time.
01:30:46.780 So like, but one 38, two 38, three 38, waking up every hour going, oh dear God, is it not
01:30:53.000 time to get up yet?
01:30:54.340 And it's not that I'm rested.
01:30:55.740 I just, I miss my Casper mattress.
01:30:59.000 Casper doesn't seem to do anything for you.
01:31:00.920 If, if what happens is you get spoiled for other beds, like where's the Casper insurance?
01:31:05.980 Where shouldn't they be?
01:31:07.020 I should be able to sue these.
01:31:09.140 Exactly.
01:31:09.900 I should be able to sue them.
01:31:11.300 Casper should be delivering Casper mattresses to every place you go.

01:32:24.100 Glenn Beck.
01:32:24.940 Welcome to the program.
01:32:28.760 We have to say goodbye to a very good friend and somebody who I have been more impressed
01:32:38.360 with than almost anybody I have worked with in my career.
01:32:42.800 Uh, Natasha has been, uh, our second hand in our second hand, our second, uh, producer, uh, behind
01:32:52.200 Stu for 10 years.
01:32:55.220 Yeah.
01:32:55.880 About 10 years.
01:32:56.600 Uh, and she joined us in New York and she, she is the hardest working person, somebody
01:33:03.620 that we have been able to give anything to.
01:33:06.220 She has written, she has produced, uh, she has moved across the country with us, uh, and,
01:33:13.480 uh, she is leaving us because this sweet, quiet, gentle, I want to say girl, which not anymore
01:33:21.960 woman.
01:33:22.720 She is, she's going into the horror film industry.
01:33:26.280 So, uh, uh, she's, uh, she's leaving us and today is her, her last day.
01:33:42.280 And I will tell you, I've been, I've been sad for some people to leave over my 40 years
01:33:48.260 of broadcast.
01:33:49.000 Um, and I'm, I'm sad with her, but I am thrilled because she came into my office last week and
01:33:56.280 she said, Glenn, she said, I have an opportunity to start at the bottom level, but I'm taking
01:34:05.320 this because I've always wanted to do it.
01:34:08.200 And I know if I stay, I will be here for the rest of my life.
01:34:13.440 And I, I want to give that a try and I love people who will risk to dream and, and dare
01:34:22.940 to expand.
01:34:24.120 And, uh, Natasha, we love you and we are sincerely going to miss you.
01:34:31.220 Uh, but, uh, you always, always have a home here.
01:34:35.760 So when you fail, because horror films are evil.
01:34:39.280 Yes.
01:34:42.900 Thank you, Natasha, for everything.
01:34:44.880 Now that's a, it's a tough one.
01:34:46.040 I hate for her to go, but you're right.
01:34:48.020 It's kind of a cool, inspiring thing.
01:34:49.540 Yeah.
01:34:49.920 Like, you know, she's leaving a, you know, a job where she's very comfortable and well
01:34:53.020 liked and could stay for as long as she wanted and going to something that she is unsure of
01:34:57.660 and is new.
01:34:58.800 I have such, I have such respect for people who disrupt themselves and, uh, you, you deserve
01:35:06.220 the disruptor of the year, hammer, hammer, uh, Natasha.
01:35:11.240 God bless.
01:35:12.160 Godspeed.
01:35:13.140 And thank you.
01:35:19.240 Glenn.
01:35:20.120 Back.
01:35:21.200 Mercury.
01:35:24.640 So it's just you and me.
01:35:25.820 It's like old times.
01:35:26.900 Why?
01:35:27.120 Where is Stu?
01:35:27.820 Let's do a candid phone.
01:35:29.040 He just left to catch a plane home.
01:35:31.000 Why?
01:35:32.800 Why isn't he coming up with you?
01:35:34.260 Didn't he go with you?
01:35:35.460 He's yes.
01:35:36.060 And he said there wasn't enough leg room in my plane.
01:35:39.780 On your plane?
01:35:40.820 I'm kidding.
01:35:41.480 I'm kidding.
01:35:42.020 I'm kidding.
01:35:42.400 I know you are.
01:35:43.920 But what are you?
01:35:45.220 I know you are, but what am I?
01:35:47.360 I know you are, but what are you?
01:35:48.260 Same to you, but twice as much more of it.
01:35:49.780 Right.
01:35:50.760 Um, okay.
01:35:51.200 So I could, we could talk about the March for our lives or we could talk about, uh, the,
01:35:58.400 uh, spending bill, the omnibus, uh, which is interesting as well.
01:36:02.740 Or both of them?
01:36:03.760 Neither?
01:36:04.020 Uh, let's do both of them.
01:36:04.740 Whatever you want to do.
01:36:05.600 Yeah, let's do both.
01:36:06.600 All right.
01:36:07.860 I'll do both.
01:36:08.560 I've got a couple of, I got a couple of funny things too to talk about.
01:36:11.640 Do you now?
01:36:12.520 I do.
01:36:13.260 I do.
01:36:13.440 Well, why don't I be the judge of that?
01:36:15.160 Whether they're funny or not.
01:36:16.800 All right.
01:36:17.460 All right.
01:36:17.700 Um, hey, did you see the little kitchen interview?
01:36:22.080 Oh.
01:36:22.340 Hang on.
01:36:22.580 I'm also going to, uh, I'm going to, uh, take you on a little tour of the studio because
01:36:27.380 I'm, I'm in the middle of Rush Limbaugh's studio and Steve Harvey's studio.
01:36:31.900 Really?
01:36:32.320 It's kind of cool.
01:36:32.980 Yeah.
01:36:33.300 Oh, that's really cool.
01:36:34.480 Uh, so what were you saying?
01:36:36.160 You must be at, uh, premiere?
01:36:38.060 Premiere.
01:36:38.480 Yeah.
01:36:38.920 Um, did you see the little kitchen interview that David Hogg did with the F4?
01:36:44.200 No, what do you mean the little kitchen?
01:36:45.180 I don't know, he's sitting in his kitchen or dining room or something and, uh, it was
01:36:52.040 just this F-bomb-laced tirade against the NRA and those F-ers and parents that don't know
01:36:59.200 what they're doing and he's got to take it over and, I mean, it's, it's really something
01:37:03.580 else.
01:37:05.000 Really something.
01:37:06.280 Wow.
01:37:06.720 That kid is more narcissistic, I think, than Donald Trump.
01:37:11.360 45 seconds.
01:37:12.540 Wow.
01:37:12.720 I mean, he-
01:37:14.640 Yeah, I wouldn't say it that way, so-
01:37:16.500 He thinks a lot of himself.
01:37:18.480 Yes, he does.
01:37:18.660 He thinks a lot of himself.
01:37:20.260 Yes, he does.
01:37:21.980 I'm looking for the sheet.
01:37:23.440 There was something else that was on the audio sheet.
01:37:26.940 Does anybody, who has the audio sheet?
01:37:32.460 No, who has the audio sheet?
01:37:33.880 Stu's audio sheet over there.
01:37:36.640 There's the, here it is.
01:37:37.640 I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:37:38.680 15 seconds.
01:37:41.540 15 seconds.
01:37:45.620 15 seconds.
01:37:47.060 Thank you.
01:38:17.060 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:38:19.400 Welcome to the program from our studios in Los Angeles, California.
01:38:25.280 Just been here for a couple of days.
01:38:30.260 And we're glad to be here and glad to be going home to Texas.
01:38:37.460 It's a little strange.
01:38:38.860 Our studios, Pat is joining us in the studios in Las Colinas, Texas.
01:38:43.600 If you're watching online, let me just show you something kind of cool.
01:38:48.460 Our studios are right in between the studios of Steve Harvey and Rush Limbaugh.
01:38:54.320 And so if you look over there, that's a darkened studio because they're not in here yet.
01:38:58.140 But Steve Harvey show is behind that glass.
01:39:00.900 And over here, if I can show you, there's the EIB.
01:39:04.460 And you see that arm?
01:39:05.420 That's the golden microphone right off of that arm right on the other side of the glass for Rush Limbaugh.
01:39:13.280 Kind of gives you chills, doesn't it?
01:39:15.300 Gives you chills.
01:39:16.020 It does.
01:39:16.600 It does.
01:39:17.660 It does.
01:39:18.520 I'm a Russian Steve Harvey sandwich.
01:39:22.780 Anyway.
01:39:24.480 Welcome to the program.
01:39:25.560 Glad you're here.
01:39:26.600 Let me give you a couple of stories.
01:39:28.660 And then, Pat, I want to get your comments on a few things.
01:39:31.100 But yesterday, Amazon has filed for a patent on their delivery drone.
01:39:38.140 And I just wanted to update on this patent.
01:39:42.920 They seem to have thought of everything.
01:39:45.120 It is part of their goal to develop a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles that can take packages to customers in 30 minutes or less.
01:39:54.600 And so the patent is really quite complex because the drone needs to be able to interact with customers.
01:40:04.940 So it needs to recognize a few things.
01:40:08.680 It needs to be able to release a package that it's carrying.
01:40:11.940 It needs to change its flight path to avoid crashing.
01:40:16.280 It needs to be able to ask a human a question or abort delivery.
01:40:20.560 But in the patent, here's my favorite, it also will register a welcoming thumbs up.
01:40:29.300 So if somebody is standing there and they just give it the thumbs up, it's like, okay, it must mean everything's okay.
01:40:34.760 But it also, the patent includes a feature that recognizes people who are shouting and frantically waving their arms.
01:40:46.500 So I don't know if that means like, good God, don't drop that now or over here.
01:40:54.620 But I don't know what it's supposed to do, but it can recognize you if you're frantically waving your arms.
01:41:00.620 There is this story from Spain, and I love this story.
01:41:06.320 It's about a 59-year-old guy.
01:41:08.960 He's a tax official.
01:41:10.340 And he has legally changed the last letter of his first name, his Sergio, but he has named it to Sergio, and he has now assumed the identity of a woman.
01:41:26.480 He is now saying that he is officially a woman, and you need to address him as such.
01:41:33.500 Now, it's not that he really wanted to be a woman, he just decided that he would change his status to a woman because in Spain, I'm sorry, in Argentina, boy, this is even closer.
01:41:48.000 In Argentina, the law allows women to retire at 60, but men have to retire at 65.
01:41:56.160 65, so he decided, if I just call me, call me Sergio, I'm, hello, that's who I am.
01:42:06.820 That's brilliant.
01:42:07.560 That's brilliant.
01:42:08.720 Why not take advantage of the nonsensical, political, correct stuff they're doing?
01:42:13.740 Especially, Pat, if it doesn't mean anything.
01:42:16.680 Right.
01:42:17.120 If gender doesn't mean anything, I don't care what you call me.
01:42:20.700 I know.
01:42:21.140 Call me Z or whatever that is.
01:42:23.640 I don't even know what it means, but I can retire five years early.
01:42:26.660 Okay.
01:42:27.520 Call me Z.
01:42:28.100 I'm a G.
01:42:29.320 Yeah.
01:42:29.720 It's crazy, isn't it?
01:42:31.120 It is.
01:42:32.260 And it's hard to keep up with because it's different every day.
01:42:34.920 Changes every day.
01:42:36.140 Try this one.
01:42:37.280 Keith Ellison.
01:42:38.900 Keith Ellison.
01:42:40.140 Here he is on how he feels about the minimum and maximum wage.
01:42:46.480 I did not make a joke about maximum wage.
01:42:48.820 I made a statement about maximum wage.
01:42:51.400 All right.
01:42:51.640 What I'm saying is if you were to say, look, if you make more than 20 times more of the
01:42:59.840 people who actually make the products and do the services of your company, then we're
01:43:06.080 going to tax you more.
01:43:09.620 We're going to tax you at all.
01:43:11.420 We're going to tax you.
01:43:11.660 Well, that would be a good start.
01:43:13.260 Right, right, right.
01:43:14.000 That would be a good start.
01:43:15.380 Right, right.
01:43:15.900 We're going to, you know, so that we're going to, you're going to be ineligible for certain
01:43:20.460 programs.
01:43:21.600 You know, we're just going to set up the rules to say that, or we could even do something
01:43:28.580 like say, look, if you want to pay yourself more than 20 times your average worker, that's
01:43:33.120 fine.
01:43:33.480 But if you give the workers an increase as you get them, then maybe we'll think about
01:43:41.160 that in terms of some sort of a policy benefit.
01:43:44.920 But this idea that you can leave people in poverty as you are stacking up dead presidents
01:43:51.640 like nobody's business, it's got to come to an end.
01:43:54.280 I mean, the CEO of McDonald's makes $9,000 an hour, and they're fighting people getting
01:44:01.100 $15 an hour.
01:44:02.440 These people, and not only are they just screwing over workers, they're screwing over the environment.
01:44:06.720 They're like clear-cutting forests so that they can graze more cattle.
01:44:10.760 And we all know that, like, beef production is extremely abusive on the environment.
01:44:16.680 Yeah, we should stop it.
01:44:17.440 And so they're like bad actors, you know?
01:44:19.560 And so, you know, I wasn't joking about having a maximum.
01:44:24.820 I mean, you know, why shouldn't there be a maximum wage?
01:44:28.980 Because it's America.
01:44:31.260 That's why.
01:44:32.520 Because we don't do that in capitalism.
01:44:34.960 Because the government has no place constitutionally to give a maximum wage.
01:44:42.060 I mean, it kills me.
01:44:43.140 The guy, he's making $9,000 an hour, and he's fighting over $15 an hour workers.
01:44:48.820 Yes, because McDonald's cannot sell their burgers if everyone behind the counter is making $15 an hour.
01:44:58.060 And if you force them to do that, you will no longer have those entry-level jobs.
01:45:03.540 You are going to have the McMachine that is flipping burgers that is robotic.
01:45:09.520 And it's already happening.
01:45:11.780 And then they're not making $15 an hour anymore.
01:45:14.080 They're making $0 an hour.
01:45:16.100 Yes.
01:45:16.600 Because they don't have a gig.
01:45:17.580 They don't have a job.
01:45:18.240 And think of this.
01:45:19.580 If everybody in your company made $50,000, but you're Steve Jobs, okay?
01:45:25.900 You're the one who came up with the idea.
01:45:29.720 That has to mean something.
01:45:31.660 Right.
01:45:32.040 And you, well, it does.
01:45:33.300 According to him, if you paid the, everybody in the building made $50,000, Steve Jobs could never make more than a million dollars.
01:45:44.240 Now, okay, all right, well, that's fair to everyone except Steve Jobs.
01:45:53.440 He's the guy who came up with it.
01:45:55.640 He's the driving force.
01:45:57.160 He's not replaceable.
01:45:58.360 They tried to replace him.
01:46:01.040 Look at what happened with Apple now that Steve Jobs is gone.
01:46:04.860 Steve Jobs is dead.
01:46:06.720 Apple needs somebody like Elon Musk to make that thing work because they're not reinventing.
01:46:12.620 You're telling me that he's only worth, let's say they pay everybody $100,000.
01:46:17.600 The janitor is making $100,000 a year.
01:46:21.600 That means Steve Jobs can only make $2 million a year.
01:46:25.680 Is that a lot of money?
01:46:27.340 Sure.
01:46:28.400 Is that all Steve Jobs is really worth?
01:46:33.740 No.
01:46:34.080 No.
01:46:34.800 Of course not.
01:46:35.520 Of course not.
01:46:36.440 Here's a good idea, though.
01:46:37.360 You know, he was coming up with some really interesting ideas.
01:46:39.640 What if we just had the government just take control of all the manufacturing and all the service businesses?
01:46:45.140 What if the government just took control and took over all of these businesses like McDonald's and they run it?
01:46:52.220 And then they set the wage for everyone.
01:46:55.840 What if they did that?
01:46:56.540 Well, wait a minute.
01:46:58.200 Why don't we just have, let's put Elon Musk out of business and we'll just have NASA do the, oh, wait a minute.
01:47:06.580 We did do that and Elon Musk is doing a better job and I'm not paying for it with my tax dollars.
01:47:15.380 How great is that?
01:47:17.300 How about we have this?
01:47:19.520 Instead of taking all of the money and wasting much of that money, you stop taking so much money from the people and you let them invest the money.
01:47:33.420 You let them reap the benefits.
01:47:35.900 You know, it's the same kind of thinking that communists have that created the communist state and all of its luxuries.
01:47:47.060 When you're not incentivized to where you can really change your place, you're not interested in working.
01:47:58.060 Why would I work so hard?
01:48:00.000 Why would I risk?
01:48:01.040 You know, I, I invested money in Bitcoin and I wanted to take it out when it was $19,000.
01:48:09.640 Okay.
01:48:10.140 So I went to take it out before I did.
01:48:12.400 I checked the tax laws and I realized because I hadn't had it in for a year, if I withdrew it, I would have paid, I would have paid about 50% in taxes.
01:48:26.320 Oh, and I have to tell you something.
01:48:28.680 I thought to myself, I took all the risk.
01:48:31.580 Yeah.
01:48:32.260 Now I know, I, I, I know that the government, I should pay taxes.
01:48:36.280 I need to pay taxes.
01:48:37.520 I need the roads.
01:48:38.760 We want the infrastructure.
01:48:39.740 I want the defense.
01:48:40.580 I want the court system.
01:48:42.080 Well, you're in paid tax on the money with which you invested in the Bitcoin.
01:48:46.460 It's a double tax as it is.
01:48:48.860 And it's a 50% double tax?
01:48:51.360 Come on.
01:48:51.800 After, after I took my money and, and paid taxes after I worked, I paid taxes.
01:48:59.440 Then I saved enough to be able to say, where do I want to put it?
01:49:03.540 I want to put it into the riskiest thing ever that the government doesn't even like, isn't supporting at all.
01:49:12.400 I'm going to risk it and I could lose it all.
01:49:15.600 I'm going to put it there.
01:49:17.200 I make money and they're going to take half.
01:49:21.660 Why?
01:49:22.680 It's immoral.
01:49:23.060 It's absolutely immoral.
01:49:25.740 It's absolutely immoral.
01:49:27.940 So incredibly anti-American and anti-everything this country was founded on.
01:49:33.540 I mean, the founders, would they want a 50% double tax?
01:49:39.460 They didn't want a tax to begin with, which is why they didn't put an income tax in, in the first place.
01:49:43.900 And I have to, I have to tell you with Keith Ellison, uh, you know, Keith Ellison, who, who was not just standing by and having a photo taken with Louis Farrakhan, but actually working and a member of the nation of Islam for him to not be called an absolute radical for, for people who believe in the constitution to be called a radical, believe in small government, a radical.
01:50:11.400 And a guy who was with Louis Farrakhan working for Louis Farrakhan and saying there should be a 100% income tax over a certain level that we, the government should decide what it is.
01:50:26.280 You're not a radical.
01:50:27.600 And I am, uh, I don't even recognize our country.
01:50:31.520 I don't even recognize our country.
01:50:33.260 Oh, but he does it.
01:50:33.900 We said that there would come a time.
01:50:35.480 I mean, I remember when it first started here in 2009, we were saying there's going to come a time when we don't recognize this country.
01:50:42.180 Well, that time is so far behind us.
01:50:44.880 I don't even recognize the country.
01:50:46.720 We didn't recognize.
01:50:50.740 I don't recognize the country of 2016.
01:50:54.200 Not at all.
01:50:55.040 Not at all.
01:50:56.080 It's not.
01:50:57.200 Jeez.
01:50:57.840 All right.
01:50:58.220 So what's on your plate today, Pat?
01:50:59.520 All right.
01:50:59.780 Well, uh, I, the president is threatening to, uh, veto the omnibus bill, but not for all of the really, really horrible, uh, uh, spending spending in the bill.
01:51:13.920 He's threatening it because it doesn't contain any help for the dreamers.
01:51:19.160 Okay.
01:51:19.680 So, so hang on, hear me out on this.
01:51:21.440 Okay.
01:51:22.160 Um, he's not going to veto this bill.
01:51:25.420 I know.
01:51:25.840 I want him to though.
01:51:26.900 I, I, the freedom caucus came out with a huge list of all the reasons he should and, but you're right.
01:51:32.400 He's not going to, he's not going to, he's not going.
01:51:34.500 So what he's doing is he's got the spending that he wants and, uh, he's got the Democrats right where he wants them.
01:51:42.460 So he can say, Oh my gosh, they didn't.
01:51:44.960 And they didn't put the dreamer thing in there.
01:51:47.020 They didn't put the, they didn't.
01:51:48.700 That's not in there.
01:51:49.660 I'm going to, I'm really seriously thinking about vetoing this.
01:51:54.740 That's exactly what he's doing.
01:51:56.100 Exactly right.
01:51:57.260 So he can be clean and he can look like I tried.
01:52:00.140 I tried.
01:52:00.800 This gives us another trillion dollars in debt, another trillion dollars in the next five months.
01:52:05.620 Okay.
01:52:05.920 It took us from George Washington to Ronald Reagan until we were a trillion dollars in debt.
01:52:12.720 200 years until we were 200, uh, a trillion dollars in debt.
01:52:17.080 We now add a trillion dollars in five months.
01:52:21.700 Well, no, no, no, no, no.
01:52:23.320 Hey, hear me out.
01:52:24.160 Hear me out.
01:52:24.660 Cause I did the math on this.
01:52:25.900 Okay.
01:52:26.620 Um, from 2000, from 1789 to 2000.
01:52:32.000 Okay.
01:52:32.920 We took all of that debt and under George Bush in eight years, we doubled it.
01:52:38.200 Yes.
01:52:38.620 Okay.
01:52:38.820 And we brought it to, uh, 11 trillion.
01:52:43.920 Then I think it was 10 by the time, uh, Bush left.
01:52:46.980 Okay.
01:52:47.520 So, so $10 trillion.
01:52:49.100 Now think of that during that time period, we bailed out the banks.
01:52:52.580 We bailed out the car companies.
01:52:54.060 We bailed out the housing market.
01:52:56.160 We bailed out the stimulus.
01:52:57.340 We bailed out Fannie, Freddie, um, a, uh, AIG.
01:53:00.580 We did the stimulus package.
01:53:02.160 We fought two wars.
01:53:03.740 We transformed our airports.
01:53:05.740 We, we did the Patriot Act.
01:53:08.160 We doubled the debt.
01:53:09.840 Yeah.
01:53:10.060 When Barack Obama got in, we were about half a trillion dollars shy from doubling that
01:53:16.460 debt.
01:53:16.920 Right.
01:53:17.920 In the last six months, in the last six months, we have already taken and upped our debt by
01:53:24.540 a trillion dollars since September.
01:53:27.100 Yeah.
01:53:27.620 Uh, first time in the history of the world now, because of this, we'll do the next trillion
01:53:32.600 in the next five months.
01:53:35.700 It's, it's, it's accelerating at disturbing, uh, rates.
