The Glenn Beck Program - Sins of Twitter Past, Forgiven？｜ Guest Hosts： Pat Gray & Stu

00:00:00.000 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program with pat and stew

00:00:11.240 uh for one more day glen's back on monday and uh jeffy should be back next week too doing his

00:00:17.760 uh podcast uh he he's i guess he's seeing a cardiologist if you if you missed it jeffy

00:00:24.200 had a heart attack last week but he's doing he's doing well this week he's uh he actually you can't

00:00:30.740 tell that anything was wrong he looks much better in my opinion looks better yeah you know sometimes

00:00:37.300 you get you feel nauseous and then you throw up and you feel a lot better that might have been the

00:00:40.840 jeffy thing maybe he just needed to get that heart attack out of him maybe maybe and uh so he's got

00:00:48.800 a cardiology appointment on monday and then should be back uh doing his thing on tuesday so we'll

00:00:54.600 talk to him uh certainly on my show on pat gray unleashed uh which precedes this show immediately

00:01:00.420 on the blaze radio and tv network and then i i would imagine glen will probably have him on too

00:01:05.180 right yeah thank you and glen will have him i think so and uh all right triple eight nine uh seven two

00:01:11.300 seven b-e-c-k kevin hart uh had some tweets that haunted him from the past in fact these

00:01:18.160 it was a long past too i think it was nine years ago were they nine or ten year old tweets

00:01:24.640 um i think they were around that area yeah i think they were from 2009 to 2012 or or something like

00:01:31.880 that and he was scheduled to do the oscars and then these these tweets homophobic tweets um appeared

00:01:38.240 and he'd already apologized for them he'd already explained them but they resurfaced and there was a

00:01:46.240 big deal about it and so uh he stepped down as host of the oscars well yesterday he showed up on ellen

00:01:52.320 and ellen degenerate i think is is kind of washing him clean of his tweets and this is really smart to

00:02:01.760 do because obviously she's she's homosexual she's a lesbian and if you get her authority to really

00:02:08.020 yeah pretty much like it seems like if you want to get an okay from someone that you're not a homophobe

00:02:13.540 if you can get ellen to say it you then you're clear that i feel like that is the position our

00:02:18.340 society is in it's really smart like if if uh yeah like there's certain people i mean ellen is just

00:02:24.140 such a high profile person uh and she seems well liked she's well liked she seems rational she can

00:02:31.060 uh she's she doesn't seem like someone who would uh would just you know give anyone an excuse right

00:02:39.600 like she if she she would if she believed you and she gave you an excuse and said look yeah i know

00:02:43.980 you did this a while ago you're saying it's wrong now i believe you you should be reinstated or

00:02:48.340 whatever that's your clearance process i feel in the united states in 2018 where we have like probably

00:02:54.820 our next president is going to be kanye west let's be honest about it it's probably another it's another

00:02:59.160 four years of trump and then kanye so in a society like that i mean kanye might be running against

00:03:04.460 kloe kardashian that might be the matchup so in that society i feel like ellen is the authority

00:03:10.220 that can come in and say look uh you are clean you are not you're a homophobe you are not just the

00:03:17.880 judge jury and executioner on this topic and if you can get a clearance from ellen like you get a

00:03:22.180 hall pass from from ellen you you're back in the game on homophobic tweets i think this is that hall

00:03:29.920 pass and here she is begging kevin hart to host the oscars so i i called the academy today because

00:03:37.940 i i really want you to host the oscars i think that i was so excited when i heard that they asked

00:03:42.920 you i thought it was an amazing thing i knew how important it was and how it was a dream so i called

00:03:47.660 them i said kevin's on i have no idea if he wants to come back and host but what are your thoughts

00:03:53.900 and they were like oh my god we we want him to host we feel like that maybe he misunderstood or it

00:03:59.620 was handled wrong or maybe we said the wrong thing but we want him to host whatever we can do we would

00:04:05.220 be thrilled and he should host yeah i mean so i i hope he gets his salary doubled for it too man

00:04:17.040 you know this is happening this is why they haven't selected another host it's it's as you suspected and

00:04:24.000 we're saying on my show earlier that they knew this was coming they knew this appearance was going

00:04:30.180 to happen on ellen and so they've been holding out for this to happen and now he's been washed clean

00:04:36.480 and he'll they'll invite him back and he'll okay reluctantly agree and when he does his open

00:04:44.220 somewhere in there he will first make a couple of jokes about himself right and then he will have

00:04:48.720 some heartfelt you know what is great gays sort of monologue and uh and maybe it'll even feature

00:04:56.160 ellen yeah may ellen might come out yeah um and then at there will be some special award to represent

00:05:03.120 uh gays in entertainment and right like this is what we get a singer who is who is a well-known gay

00:05:10.800 person will come out and sing and dance or whatever they do and they will give hugs to kevin hart and

00:05:16.920 tell him they understand and we will all need to accept it now then kevin hart will announce that

00:05:22.580 he is in fact gay god that would be a great ending that's an oscars to watch right there that i would

00:05:29.760 watch that i would watch i would watch uh kevin uh did respond or at least attempt to kind of respond

00:05:34.880 to the oscars offer which is amazing first of all before we play that now we're at the point where

00:05:39.880 the oscars are asking him to host again right like how did yeah one call from ellen de generous is

00:05:46.200 goes from your fire to please let him host crazy please come back sir please that's an that's a lot

00:05:53.580 of power that's a lot of power he is here is kevin hart's response i think that you you have said

00:05:58.880 a lot of amazing things you have put a lot of things on my mind and i know where our relationship

00:06:05.860 stands so leaving here i'm i'm promising you i'm evaluating this conversation this is a this is a

00:06:13.040 conversation i needed to have i'm glad that i had it here and i'm glad that it was as authentic

00:06:17.620 and real as i could have hoped that it would be oh it's real oh he's let me assess oh he's coming

00:06:23.420 just just to sit in the space and and really think and you and i will talk before anything else okay okay

00:06:30.480 okay that's my fault he's hosting the oscars he does it and he gets a raise yep he's hosting the oscars

00:06:38.380 that's amazing so a couple things here first of all ellen is a comedian right you know she's a

00:06:43.260 everyone thinks she you know she's talk show host and she's been a talk show host for a million years

00:06:46.300 but her training is in stand-up comedy she just did i think it was a netflix special uh she's trying

00:06:52.220 to get back in that world and she's probably probably i don't know this for a fact but probably on the

00:06:58.140 right side when it comes to the you know burning at the stake of comedians every time they make a

00:07:03.220 joke people don't like she's probably on the right side of that comedians even even liberal comedians

00:07:07.860 who who will boycott you for if a conservative commentator says something they'll be on the

00:07:12.340 front lines of the boycott but when it comes to comedians they're they're very forgiving and so

00:07:18.280 that's probably part of this here um and i think i think that's she's probably on the right side of

00:07:25.120 that genuinely separately from the issues of you know gay issues and all that other stuff

00:07:30.820 for when it comes to a free speech issue i'd be surprised if ellen was on the wrong side of it

00:07:35.240 yeah i would too um so i would too i think that's part of it and i think it's interesting to watch this

00:07:39.620 sort of happen because you it really we are in that in that world in which the we have completely

00:07:49.160 abandoned free uh due process when it comes to things like this we don't even it's just an

00:07:55.380 automatic outrage machine and we go after everybody all the time um and we've abandoned that due process

00:08:01.620 for this due process which is will ellen say it's okay like if ellen says it's okay then the guy comes

00:08:07.380 back and no one cares like he will not even be a controversial figure and that just happened right

00:08:12.800 and i i don't think this he won't have any lingering side effects from this now i i think that's how

00:08:18.940 clean she just washed him yeah that's amazing yeah it is and again the oscars last year were dealing

00:08:24.380 with oscars so white right remember that right oscars were so white so they brought in a black host

00:08:29.560 yep then they fired him because he wasn't friendly enough to gaze these people are lost it's amazing in

00:08:35.480 their in their intersectionality they don't know what to do they have absolutely no idea how to keep up

00:08:42.000 with their constantly changing standards of what's okay to say and what's not okay to say

00:08:46.080 yeah and it is or who's okay to host and who's not okay to host it is fun to watch it well when

00:08:52.960 liberals are eating their own it is fun it is fun and and i i think that's part of the problem here but

00:08:59.600 um but this is pretty interesting because i i think that was i think this was all sort of decided

00:09:07.500 not on the show but pre the show before the show and this was part of the plan to get him on ellen

00:09:13.980 and uh i feel like i'm watching theater a little bit here yeah right like oh he's been fired oh wait

00:09:18.340 a minute what if we have you go on ellen and you get an okay from ellen we'll bring you back

00:09:22.700 and she goes on he gets and he doesn't accept it right away he's gonna make it it's dramatic i'm

00:09:27.900 gonna think about it in my space for a while i'll tell you this if you get us if the oscars announce a

00:09:32.460 special like a who wants to be a host special with like all the reality tv trappings and i think

00:09:38.620 they bring back trump to host it and trump gets to give final approval to kevin hart that's the way

00:09:44.900 this needs to end yes all right uh 888-727-BECK uh more patents due for glenn on the glenbeck program

00:09:51.700 this is the glenbeck program let's talk about something real here you can put off a lot of

00:10:00.300 things in life you don't have to join a gym you can clean your gutters but usually they will rot

00:10:04.840 off your house but here's another thing you shouldn't put off and that is getting home security

00:10:08.520 it's your home it's your family it's your stuff you want to protect it but there's always something

00:10:13.280 holding you back and most likely it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman

00:10:18.400 and being indebted forever it also could be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour

00:10:22.600 installation window you don't have time for that simply safe home security has gotten rid of all of

00:10:27.600 those reasons not to get home security and i'm about to tell you how to save a ton too these guys

00:10:32.400 are really great they don't have any contracts there's no wiring there's no markup there's no

00:10:36.280 installation windows just professional quality home security with 24-hour professional monitoring

00:10:41.520 now you can save hundreds on simply safe with their extended holiday sale just go to simply

00:10:46.160 safe beck.com to get this great offer at simply safe beck.com save on home protection today but

00:10:52.140 hurry the holiday sale ends january 8th that's simply safe beck.com

00:10:57.180 and again if that was a conservative that wouldn't have happened i don't think that would

00:11:11.960 have happened i i can't think of a conservative comedian uh can you maybe i mean if it was jim

00:11:19.960 gaffigan would that have happened and he's not a conservative yeah i don't think he is no but uh

00:11:23.960 yeah i mean it's a probably not i mean i don't think he would make jokes like that anyway but

00:11:28.480 uh probably not there are people you know it was mike pence who's not a comedian but it wouldn't

00:11:34.220 have happened for my pence is hilarious though i mean have you ever seen his comedy stuff oh man

00:11:38.880 it's a scream uh you know i think the closest thing you could come to right now is louis ck

00:11:42.980 and louis ck is not a conservative but he occasionally makes points that are friendly to conservatives

00:11:48.620 right and when he does that uh he gets abandoned they didn't they they would have let him back into

00:11:55.100 the world if he was mr liberal uh spokesperson but he's come out and said you know some of the

00:12:00.560 identity politics stuff is dumb and you know that thing that we've played before about abortion

00:12:06.700 is absolutely amazing from him yeah and it's too conservative i think for people's for for the left

00:12:13.480 i mean they certainly forces them into a tough spot yeah to admit essentially yes this is a baby

00:12:17.960 or yeah it's a baby and it's killing babies and then he goes through that whole routine

00:12:23.000 well it's not really killing but it's kind of yes it's completely killing babies

00:12:27.360 it's amazing it's an amazing thing to admit and i think i think he even says in there somewhere that

00:12:33.160 he's pro-choice if i remember correctly i don't even think i don't i don't even think he's a pro-life

00:12:38.420 person um he's just saying that if you want to be honest about it admit the fact that this is what

00:12:44.520 you're doing and then justify it yeah we should play that uh yeah here's louis ck on abortion people

00:12:49.760 hate abortion protesters they're so shrill and awful they think babies are being murdered

00:12:55.720 what are they supposed to be like i don't know it's not cool i don't want to be about it though

00:13:02.940 i don't want to ruin their day as they murder several babies all the time

00:13:07.860 i don't think it's killing a baby i don't see i mean it is it's a it's a little bit

00:13:14.740 uh-oh it's a little bit killing a baby it's a little bit

00:13:17.820 it's a hundred percent killing a baby it is it's totally killing a whole baby

00:13:24.580 but i think that women should be allowed to kill babies that's what i think they should be allowed

00:13:35.320 to kill babies yeah and they cheer yeah and they cheer amazing

00:13:40.180 but he mocks that we get to kill babies it's brilliant do some shots and kill some babies

00:13:49.040 i killed like four babies last night it was f***ing retarded

00:13:55.360 i just think it has to be one or the other you know like when people say abortion should be

00:14:01.820 legal safe and rare why rare if it should be legal if it should be legal it's

00:14:09.600 it's f***ing if it should be rare it's murdering babies and see that's a hundred percent true

00:14:17.660 it's a hundred percent true and it's a way he just covered both sides really uh and did that

00:14:24.780 brilliantly just uh but i i don't know if the left considers that brilliant it's a real loss losing him

00:14:31.640 as an entertainer again if he did some even his explanation and the explanations and accusations

00:14:36.840 against him and the the scandal we've gone over this before are not anywhere remotely close to

00:14:42.900 stuff we're talking about with harvey weinstein he just seemed like he was a creepy guy at one point

00:14:46.820 in his life that did things that were very creepy uh that were also consented to uh so i you know i

00:14:54.460 don't i don't know uh that whole situation if there's more to it maybe there is i don't know

00:14:59.340 but as it stands now it's a real loss i mean as far as he's able to do that i mean this is a guy who

00:15:06.220 was a liberal icon yeah oh yeah they loved this guy he was yeah you know and he was able to do that i

00:15:12.440 mean that that's the type of monologue that honestly can change opinions when you approach it like that

00:15:17.400 you take someone who you heard talk rationally and interestingly on a million different topics and

00:15:22.420 you break it down like that that is true you you basically have to say it's nothing it's just

00:15:27.760 removing some cells it's removing some flesh you know i always think of it as it's equivalent of

00:15:31.600 plastic surgery right you're removing uh you maybe you're you're enhancing a breast you're lifting a

00:15:37.020 nose there's no conservative who opposes that you're removing fat cells right from your stomach

00:15:41.720 liposuction same thing exactly there's no conservative that opposes that right because

00:15:45.680 it's not hurting another person it's you doing something to yourself if you it's the other life

00:15:51.300 that's what what is important and that's what he gets across there he does and he puts

00:15:55.580 in a really effective way and he does this all the time he puts you in a position where uh you have

00:16:03.000 to sort of honestly question what you're doing he puts that so it's such a black and white an obvious

00:16:09.740 truth that you know what you can he's even saying you can take the position of uh you know uh it's just

00:16:18.220 it's just uh cells or fat or poop as he kind of puts it you can say that but admit it admit that's

00:16:25.920 what you're saying and also admit how ridiculous that is i mean the lines you have to go to to get to

00:16:32.420 this position are they're impossible to navigate you can't you no gymnast is flexible enough to achieve

00:16:39.060 it the problem here is what we do as a society is we say well it's uncomfortable don't talk about it

00:16:45.440 and if we don't talk about it you never have to think about it and therefore you can just kind of

00:16:48.660 say women's rights and move on with your day and it's not this is not about women's rights if it was

00:16:54.180 about women's rights then conservatives would be like you cannot have that liposuction you cannot

00:17:00.120 remove that that that clump of cells from you can't have breast augmentation you can't do that no

00:17:05.280 we would say that you know the government needs to crack down on women having liposuction we don't do

00:17:10.540 that because there's not another life involved you're not affecting someone else's rights you are

00:17:15.740 affecting someone else's rights when they don't have the right for their heart to beat any longer

00:17:19.620 that is a major issue and it's uncomfortable to talk about so people don't want to do it but then

00:17:24.960 no one has that conversation no one's forced into admitting that decision i'm making the decision that

00:17:30.640 yes it's okay to kill the baby because women's choice takes priority over it that's a position you can

00:17:35.600 take i don't know how it's consistent with the constitution but you can take it if you want at least

00:17:39.900 make the argument logically 888-727-BECK is the phone number we're never more than 60 seconds away

00:18:54.300 pat and stew for glenn uh who returns on monday um you know speaking of abortion as we as we were

00:19:14.500 with louis ck here a minute ago um in ohio they did something fairly interesting uh a bill banning

00:19:21.620 abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected past the ohio senate 1813 now the previous month

00:19:29.200 um the ohio house also voted in favor of the bill but the senate made some changes so it's got to go

00:19:35.520 through the house again the change they made was they removed a mandate for uh transvaginal

00:19:42.400 ultrasounds which can detect a heartbeat as early as six weeks six weeks uh and instead they they're

00:19:50.860 just doing the abdominal ultrasound that's one of the big talking points from the left on this on

00:19:55.700 these bills too intrusive it's too intrusive you can't force a woman to have that ultrasound it's

00:19:59.900 you know and you know i think a lot of women say yeah i don't really want to be forced to do that

00:20:04.580 um so removing that politically is a smart move for sure you're right you know again it's it's

00:20:11.860 if this thing were to pass it would save a lot of lives it's a right step in the right direction

00:20:15.720 right so you but usually the ultrasound i mean in texas it was something like 95 percent of women who

00:20:22.820 were shown the ultrasound uh chose not to have the abortion it was it was an amazing overwhelming

00:20:30.280 amount of women who decided not to have the uh abortion after being shown the ultrasound

00:20:35.940 because you see well there's my baby and it changes things in your mind a little bit it goes

00:20:42.680 beyond uh it's just a clump of cells not some tissue you know so just the ultrasound i think is

00:20:49.080 is amazing i think they should put a uh chalk drawing of the fetus on a chalkboard and you have to

00:20:56.080 actually physically erase it before you go to the abortion proceeding that can we introduce that as

00:21:02.120 legislation you could you just probably could get the big eraser and you have to erase it

00:21:06.240 because i mean look i think that is there's no reason why you can't look at a uh a an ultrasound

00:21:12.180 um of of the baby before this happens it's not doesn't want that to happen no because they don't

00:21:17.260 want because they know that it changes people's mind honestly it's a move from the left it's trying

00:21:21.180 to bring emotion into the decision and what you know what you are going to get emotional about your

00:21:25.440 own baby um to save a life you you know you understand that um it's it's just you got to be honest

00:21:31.760 with yourself on these things don't try to live

00:21:33.320 it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn beck program 888-727-BECK so the new uh congress people

00:21:48.900 have been sworn in now and um some of them have made quite a splash already of course alexandra

00:21:55.360 ocasio-cortez has been making a splash for months now uh but there's um another congressperson

00:22:02.980 who uh is willing to go out on a limb and do some things that haven't been done um maybe ever

00:22:12.680 like call the president uh an mfer uh her name is rashida talib and um here's here's what she had to

00:22:22.140 say about president trump people love you and you win and when your son looks at you and says mama

00:22:28.600 look you won bullies don't win and i said baby they don't because we're gonna go in there we're

00:22:34.020 gonna impeach the mother

00:22:34.840 that's a great thing to say to your little young son too that's awesome somehow has been overlooked

00:22:45.080 and that like yes she swore about the president but she at least to her

00:22:48.900 word i swore to her kids i said to my son we're gonna impeach the mfer wow that's a great thing

00:22:55.180 to say to your 10 year old son what an awesome mother you are that is wonderful that is a mommy

00:23:00.620 of the year situation yeah it's also highlights what the democrats are facing like like a nancy

00:23:06.300 pelosi yet does she want donald trump impeached of course she does does she want him removed

00:23:10.760 absolutely but she is going to deal with the political realities of that and realize that

00:23:15.140 if they do it for no reason like for example nothing comes out really in the muller report

00:23:20.140 and they try to force an impeachment anyway it's gonna backfire it's gonna backfire on them that's

00:23:24.360 why she's slow playing it the first thing she said when they when she was asked about this is

00:23:27.600 well uh we have to wait for that uh the muller report to come out we don't even we don't know even

00:23:31.980 know what's in it yet now they're gonna say all of it's a big deal but if if nancy pelosi is playing

00:23:37.120 politics which she will she will likely try to slow play this to because that is a real what you

00:23:44.580 just heard is a real passion in the party that is a lot there's a lot of these new congress people

00:23:49.940 coming in who ran on i'm going to go impeach the president there's a lot of uh activists who really

00:23:55.520 care about that going into this campaign whoever says it the most is going to get the most points

00:23:59.540 with these activists and these and these democratic primary voters so nancy pelosi is in the middle

00:24:04.800 there trying to say look i think if we do this it's going to be bad for us in the long term

00:24:09.620 but i have to make it seem like we're very interested in doing it to make people like uh

00:24:16.120 what's her name to shoot it to leave feel like she's you know cared about and wanted they're going

00:24:22.180 to slow they're going to slow play them like the republicans slow play us yeah right when they say

00:24:28.060 to us oh we really want that flat tax i tell you oh we want to lower those taxes oh the tax bill

00:24:33.280 you propose is just lowering them by like one point really i thought you were all excited about

00:24:37.700 like a 10 flat tax what happened to that well we are but we can't get that passed right now right

00:24:41.800 there but we're going to get there if you keep electing us oh my gosh it's going to happen for

00:24:44.640 sure and so they're doing this they're going through that same dance right now with their

00:24:48.640 super left-wing you know they have some real radicals in office right now and she's one of them

00:24:53.180 i mean can you imagine if if a republican freshman congressman had called barack obama an mfer

00:25:01.180 they had a cow when joe wilson screamed you lie oh yeah they went into a conniption fit over that

00:25:07.480 that was the big that was the biggest story in america for how long months i mean they still talk

00:25:13.520 about it from time to time it still comes up on cnn and they were saying you lie so what if you called

00:25:21.060 barack obama a socialist which is a description of some of his policies which is a description of of

00:25:28.600 some of the things that he believed in like wealth redistribution you you were a racist if

00:25:37.100 you called him a socialist but they could call they can call donald trump an mfer and it's not a

00:25:43.480 problem yeah it's fine and we should point out by the way and people cheer for joe wilson uh because

00:25:48.320 this does not get pointed out enough yes he said you lie in the middle of an obama speech here's the

00:25:53.220 cnn uh coverage of it at the time joe wilson uh shouted you lie after president obama uh denied

00:25:59.120 the health care plan would cover illegal immigrants here is i get i kid you not again the next election

00:26:06.420 you know the next president was hillary clinton versus donald trump on hillary clinton's website

00:26:11.120 she has a in her platform 112 reasons hillary clinton should be our next president number 70

00:26:17.400 quote she believes we should let families buy into the affordable health care act care exchanges

00:26:23.020 regardless of immigration status it went from a controversial thing to say he was lying about it

00:26:29.460 to in the platform of the next candidate that's how fast that happened joe wilson was totally totally

00:26:37.620 redeemed on that one yeah and i don't know that i've ever seen anyone other than us uh give him credit

00:26:44.060 for that oh i haven't i've never seen that the other thing about rashid rashida uh to lead she's a

00:26:50.300 palestinian american who ran on a two-state solution for and and continued um uh foreign aid to israel

00:26:58.980 and then as soon as she as soon as she won her primary she decided she's for a one-state solution

00:27:06.000 and no aid to israel which is wait so the one state is not israel uh no

00:27:11.780 no this is oh it's a leap wait a minute yeah uh you've got u.s congress people advocating a one

00:27:21.060 state solution i don't know how that works really uh and she's not getting any uh feedback from that

00:27:31.820 that i can that i can tell and you know she's from michigan in an area where i'm sure people are

00:27:37.360 are fine with her stance on a one-state solution but i don't know how that works in the u.s congress

00:27:43.320 i don't i don't know how that works with democratic leadership i don't know how that works in the

00:27:47.480 mainstream democrat party yeah i mean it's true i mean ilan omar who is one of the new um incoming

00:27:54.800 congress people this is a tweet from her from 2012 uh israel has hypnotized the world may allah

00:28:02.520 awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of israel my gosh and she's now a congresswoman

00:28:08.860 so that is unbelievable what's happening in the democrat party it's unbelievable but what we're

00:28:18.000 told all the time is that it's republicans who are so extreme it's republicans who are completely out

00:28:24.740 of the mainstream no uh take a look at what what the democrats are electing right now take a look at

00:28:31.080 some of these new people that are going into office they're socialists they're anti-israel zealots

00:28:35.820 they're they're completely out of the mainstream of the united states of america who what american

00:28:41.480 wants a one-state solution a palestine uh in the middle east and the elimination of israel

00:28:48.460 i don't know anybody um and i'm sure they exist but uh they're not in the mainstream that's for sure

00:28:56.120 and they're certainly they're certainly not getting elected uh outside of michigan

00:29:01.340 yeah i mean and that's this is the thing i think when when when let's say brock obama's in power

00:29:07.220 there's something even though i agree with joe wilson's point right there's something appealing

00:29:13.860 to a conservative um to say you shouldn't just yell something in a speech so people are like you know

00:29:20.680 even at the time you're like all right well i mean i agree with this point completely but that

00:29:24.000 probably isn't the way to do it and so liberals make these points when barack obama's president

00:29:29.740 and they say okay look you know that's decorum we this is not the thing that you do and there's

00:29:37.180 something that appeals to conservatives generally on that point we've talked about like the jonathan

00:29:40.800 height book of talking about how conservatives care about those types of things they care about

00:29:45.280 traditions right but the left doesn't and so when when a republican becomes president all those things

00:29:51.840 go out the window and they act as if they never made those arguments i mean you know we have we

00:29:56.280 have a congressperson uh saying uh we're going to impeach the mfr today we have another one yesterday

00:30:01.480 who who made a three-minute speech about the equivalency between the president and adolf hitler

00:30:06.040 another congressperson right um we these things a long time congressperson too they call him i mean

00:30:12.560 they call him liar all the time the time now look every politician is a liar as far as i know

00:30:18.380 uh but but that was off limits that was barack obama with barack obama and barack obama lied all

00:30:24.060 the time in fact every day even the left-wing organization politifact gave him the lie of the

00:30:29.100 year one year like i mean this is right who lied all the time and just was never called out on it

00:30:34.820 and so i don't you can't take their criticism seriously you can only try to hold your own foundations

00:30:41.820 steady if you believe uh x y or z is wrong for one person you have to hold yourself to it because

00:30:48.980 society in general is not going to make you do that anymore there's no longer a uh the inertia of

00:30:56.900 society no longer forces you to be consistent over things everyone just kind of you know forgives you

00:31:02.640 you know the one example i keep going back to is how fast this has changed i mean you could argue

00:31:07.640 john carrey lost the 2004 election based on the fact that he said i said i did vote for it before

00:31:14.740 i voted against it remember that wouldn't matter what iota now doesn't matter oh that doesn't matter

00:31:20.480 at all nobody cares if you do that you can say something today and change your position tomorrow

00:31:25.240 tomorrow just to be elected doesn't you in fact you can you could say something right now and then in

00:31:30.760 15 minutes say the complete opposite and still be elected i mean you you said she ran on i i don't i

00:31:35.540 didn't follow her campaign but she ran on on on funding to israel and a two-state solution and

00:31:40.320 day one and then switched it afterwards after the primary after the primary i mean that's amazing

00:31:45.120 it's amazing and nobody cares nope and nobody cares and i i you know you're gonna get all these you

00:31:49.800 know i mean ocasio-cortez is a good example of the one getting all the attention i don't you know

00:31:54.620 like there's some video out her of her dancing in like high school or something it's like why do i care

00:31:58.960 a complete nothing nothing it's an absolute nothing everybody has it dumb i mean anyone who grew up

00:32:04.580 oh congratulations new york why because the representative danced when she was 20 years

00:32:09.880 old at boston university so what so what come on but i i did i didn't uh make a decision yesterday

00:32:17.340 and then i do not make these decisions lightly pat um but i would encourage you to come along if you

00:32:22.560 wish um what you need to do is you go to your twitter page and you click on settings okay right then

00:32:28.300 you go to i think it's content preferences then you click on muted words and then you type in

00:32:34.560 the word ocasio and then it asks you a time and you say forever and then you press enter and it

00:32:41.640 improves your life quite a bit does it it does i've come to the point now like i i don't care about her

00:32:46.920 she you know she's a socialist congresswoman so then it just you just don't see the feed on her i don't

00:32:52.100 have to see every dumb dancing video that somebody releases or some stupid her little she thinks she's

00:32:57.700 clever tweet back at somebody i just can't i can't i can't waste my time there's no way

00:33:03.840 me reading some ocasio cortez tweet is a good use of my time i will read her her new green jobs bill

00:33:15.380 uh that we talked about yesterday the new new deal uh for uh the environment which would cost us in

00:33:20.840 excess of 50 trillion dollars by my by many estimates certainly over 30 i'll read that

00:33:27.620 because it's a real thing but do i really need to hear her snarky comebacks of somebody or no or on

00:33:32.400 the same same thing some dumb uh you know conservative site that thinks it's like the

00:33:37.240 most exposing video of all time to see her dance on a roof for five seconds when she was 20

00:33:42.020 like none of this makes any difference in my life at all yeah and that's why i use the power

00:33:48.400 of the mute i feel like i am you know uh i'm the emperor it's the power of the dark side i embrace

00:33:55.380 the power of the dark side when i see this when one of these little trends starts coming out it

00:33:59.180 starts annoying me muted and i don't hear any of the crap anymore about it that's the way you got

00:34:04.460 to do it it's a good solution it is just get it out of your life what is the point triple eight

00:34:09.500 727-BECK it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program triple eight 727-BECK now uh we we may

00:34:22.060 not be all excited about uh alexandria ocasio-cortez's dancing on the rooftop but you can get excited i

00:34:30.560 think about her green plan which is just it's fantastic um she wants to she wants to retrofit

00:34:39.080 all american homes and businesses with with wind and and solar panels so you have to do that you

00:34:46.100 have to because otherwise it's going to kill the planet we just we can't keep using fossil fuels

00:34:51.540 anyway she's talking about this and and outlaying some of this on an upcoming 60 60 minutes interview

00:34:56.800 is this sunday night that we're going to see this not exactly sure here's a snippet you're talking

00:35:03.060 about zero carbon emissions no use of fossil fuels within 12 years that is the goal it's ambitious

00:35:09.640 and how is that possible you're talking about everybody having to drive an electric car

00:35:13.540 it's going to require a lot of rapid change that we don't even conceive as possible right now true

00:35:22.060 what is the problem with trying to push our technological capacities to the furthest extent

00:35:30.520 possible this would require the raising taxes there's an element where yeah there people are

00:35:35.460 going to have to start paying their fair share in taxes do you have a specific tax rate you know

00:35:39.880 you look at our tax rates back in the 60s and when you have a progressive tax rate system your tax rate

00:35:47.160 you know let's say from zero to 75 000 may be 10 or 15 etc but once you get to like the tippy tops

00:35:57.480 on your 10 millionth dollar sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60 or 70 percent that doesn't mean

00:36:04.960 all 10 million dollars are taxed at an extremely high rate but it means that as you climb up this ladder

00:36:11.460 you should be contributing more what you are talking about just big picture is a radical agenda

00:36:17.880 compared to the way politics is done right now well i think that it only has ever been radicals that

00:36:27.080 have changed this country abraham lincoln made the radical decision to sign the emancipation

00:36:32.020 proclamation franklin delano roosevelt made the radical decision to embark on establishing programs

00:36:38.620 like social security that is that was bad that was radical radical yeah you know if that's what

00:36:43.820 radical means call me a radical no she's a radical oh well you're a radical what a brave stance if

00:36:49.780 radical means abraham lincoln call me a radical yeah okay got it got it by the way uh tax rates 1963

00:36:56.060 for example 91 was the top rate just the 91 of all of your there's your fair share no sorry not all of

00:37:03.940 your income only if you're wealthy at the top um 91 does that i mean again she's she's determining the

00:37:11.120 period she says it does go down to 77 though that next year so maybe she only wants it to be 77 let's

00:37:17.180 be fair to to aoc at least somebody's outlying what your fair share is that's now we know i guess 91

00:37:24.240 thank you uh yeah wow yeah i think you could call her a radical

00:37:30.220 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program

00:37:41.780 it's bat and stew for glen on the glenbeck program glen's back on monday um an amazing thing happened

00:37:51.560 at a game stop the other day where a customer came in and the clerk behind the desk

00:37:58.120 uh said something about hey you guys need and then that sat off the customer in an amazing way

00:38:06.380 uh listen to to what happened in the game stop man i said both of you no you said sir once again it's

00:38:14.440 ma'am i have both of you guys oh right beforehand you said sir sir take it outside if you want to call

00:38:23.200 me sir again i will show you a sir oh well i thought you were a ma'am wait you're gonna show

00:38:28.680 me sir hmm i need your corporate number because i'm gonna talk call them and talk about how i was

00:38:36.040 misgendered several times in this store i need your corporate number now

00:38:40.920 sounds like a woman right oh totally yeah it sounds like a woman

00:38:46.080 taylor swift it almost sounds like taylor swift

00:38:50.000 quite clearly oh quite clearly i'm gonna ask you to stop calling me a man just quite clearly i'm not

00:38:59.460 all right this is over there you're talking to me huh first of all i have ears and eyes yes and i i'm

00:39:08.480 sorry uh ma'am but quite clearly no you can't you can't use that phrase and that's a fascinating part

00:39:15.860 of this because the whole point right of this gender thing right is that you can't look at someone

00:39:23.700 and identify them by their looks right right like you have to know how they identify appropriately

00:39:29.900 figure it out so even if she did look like a woman you probably shouldn't say ma'am

00:39:37.400 right because what if she identifies as a man so the or the whole premise here is ridiculous i guess

00:39:44.760 we have to refer to people in the plural now they and them they them and that's i i think that's the

00:39:51.020 preferred pronoun for some oh we should we should actually bring back the controversial louis ck thing

00:39:55.760 from yesterday oh yes this is the exact same thing he's complaining about in that controversial

00:40:01.440 uh stand-up stuff but it's like first of all no woman in history has ever reacted like that to that

00:40:10.780 situation you want me to take you outside show you my man i'll show you a man wait i thought you were

00:40:16.440 a woman why are you gonna show me a man how does that happen oh i'm really confused

00:40:22.440 this one feels like a setup to me pat this one feels like the type of thing you know i'm gonna go in

00:40:29.100 there and they're gonna call me sir and i'm gonna overreact and go crazy and make a big deal out of

00:40:33.020 it and sue or whatever yeah because you know like it doesn't make any sense you know wouldn't you if

00:40:38.680 you're in that situation if you're a transgender person and we've had plenty of transgender people

00:40:43.440 called us over the years and explained basically this they understand that what they're going through

00:40:49.000 is maybe not this thing that everybody's used to dealing with and so if someone were to make a

00:40:54.060 mistake like that you might correct them you know if they're not trying to be a jerk to you

00:40:58.060 though like you're gonna show grace to them aren't you you're gonna say oh you know actually

00:41:01.560 just so you know you know i'm a dude or i'm a i'm a woman um uh and the person you know what the

00:41:07.780 person at gamestop says oh my god i'm so sorry like that's that's that's how the incident could

00:41:11.400 totally go down there's no there's no reason to to turn it into that right and that's why it feels

00:41:17.220 to me like a setup the other thing here pat if you want the corporate number of gamestop just google

00:41:24.400 it you don't need to wait in there for them to give it to you google the number right you're going

00:41:31.720 to be able to find it and and of course gamestop will probably be like what we've done is we've

00:41:36.660 given him free xboxes every week for life we have given him free access to any store to come in and

00:41:43.400 take a crap on the floor at any time oh did i say he oops i mean she at any time can come in and take

00:41:49.180 crap at any one of our 475 stores in the continental united states because quite clearly we're talking

00:41:54.960 about a woman quite clearly quite clearly as you can hear um so and i wonder we should do a little

00:42:01.700 follow-up and see if gamestop fired the employee too i hope not because clearly the the employee

00:42:06.340 was just confused didn't know yeah i mean guys is a term that can control that can cover anybody

00:42:13.560 yes i say guys to women all the time all the time i mean you guys want to go it's a group it's a

00:42:19.980 general term meaning people to me at this point we're not we no longer live in the era of guys and

00:42:24.880 dolls right do we is that where we are i don't think so i don't think so i don't think so if you

00:42:30.560 want to bring back and make it okay for me to call women dolls then i'll consider your position on this

00:42:35.000 but for the most part guys just means anybody now look i think probably the employee did think it was a

00:42:43.100 one reason why is it's a man yes i mean quite again quite clearly biologically a man by any outward

00:42:54.020 appearance uh and or auditory evidence you would think that that is a guy and aren't we supposed to

00:43:00.860 deny all of that exists now we're supposed to deny i guess that there are actual characteristics of a man

00:43:08.580 and there are characteristics of a woman right and well and that's the thing he's she's she is claiming

00:43:17.660 it's obvious based on her physical characteristics that she's a woman something else and when you see

00:43:24.300 the video their characteristics tell you something else tell what do they tell you i don't you'd have

00:43:31.600 to look at it and see what it tells you right it tells you quite obviously this looks like a guy

00:43:36.420 yeah it does um yeah but it's such a strange thing it's like he he is saying uh the employee

00:43:45.420 he's looking at this person and saying that's a guy that's what he believes instinctively

00:43:49.400 um and he seems to be right on that by the way then this transgendered person at least we're reported

00:43:56.860 transgendered person saying it says it's obvious based on my physical characteristics that i'm a

00:44:01.500 woman well that's never that you you are now telling this person what they should take from

00:44:07.320 physical characteristics which is much bigger overstep than getting a gender wrong you're now

00:44:11.880 telling them you should recognize these things as female when intuitively he says it's a male

00:44:19.780 and he's right yes so i mean this is just you know it's ridiculous and i feel like it feels to me

00:44:27.620 so outlandish it feels manufactured you know it feels like one of those things where here's what's

00:44:33.620 going to happen you stand over there with your phone or i'll go in there and i'll i'll raise a

00:44:37.820 ruckus and then i'll go ask the person for the video and then we'll go to game stop and i get free

00:44:44.040 zelda for life right like that's the play you know or or it's a big lawsuit right they pay him

00:44:49.600 a hundred thousand dollars yes and you know no and in a week we all forget about the story we don't

00:44:55.880 care but game stop gives a person a hundred thousand dollars for it's just easier for them

00:45:00.180 to pay out a bunch of money and then fight it in court and that's probably what will happen

00:45:05.500 that's probably what will happen that's sad man really sad you know i i hate that that it's but

00:45:11.220 that's the reality now you have to make these decisions we've been in these situations right i

00:45:15.140 mean we've been in situations many many times uh in which our instincts say look i just want to sit

00:45:21.300 here and just fight with this person person in public in a public forum verbally and take down

00:45:27.080 their arguments but you realize afterwards you don't get anything out of it like at the end of

00:45:32.240 the day it might make you feel good for a few moments but at the end of the day you get nothing

00:45:37.140 out of it you spend more money than you would have spent by just brushing it off uh you uh no you

00:45:43.240 don't convince anybody no one comes to your side and it's like oh wow you know what i first was with

00:45:47.300 a transgender person but now i see game stops this giant corporation i see their reasoning no one ever

00:45:53.560 does that because no one ever cares to you know we are i think that you know like you're if you're a

00:45:59.040 listener to a talk radio show and you're sitting here listening to this stuff 15 20 hours a week

00:46:03.880 you know this is what you like you like to listen to these you know hopefully both sides and determine

00:46:10.900 um what's right and wrong i've had situations where i've come out at the beginning and my initial

00:46:16.140 impression was one way and when you really look at the details you're like wait a minute no this is the

00:46:20.120 other way it happens a lot now it's our jobs so you know we have to do it and most people actually

00:46:28.640 have real work to do and things that actually help the country and like move our economy forward and

00:46:34.340 things like that important things where we get to sit here and blab all day so we have that luxury of

00:46:40.160 being able to sit here and look at all the stuff all day long and try to figure out the nuance there

00:46:45.940 most people don't you know talk radio listeners are an exception i think generally speaking because

00:46:50.340 they're willing to spend i mean if you're listening to this show and maybe a couple of the other big

00:46:54.740 national shows you're in for a full-time job listening to talk radio i mean we're doing 15

00:47:00.360 rush is doing 15 hannity's doing 15 you're at 45 hours right like you've spent a good chunk of your

00:47:06.700 week listening to people talk about these issues and break them down and give you different perspectives

00:47:14.140 on it hopefully and at the end of the day you're going to be a lot more informed than the average

00:47:19.980 person who's just not he's not going to follow these things that closely and you see how this would

00:47:23.940 react if you're if you're flipping through the headlines you don't look at the pictures you

00:47:26.940 don't watch the video you see transgender person harassed at gamestop you hate gamestop yeah right

00:47:31.580 yep and when gamestop did nothing wrong there i mean at least as far as the information we have at this

00:47:36.340 point doesn't seem to have done anything wrong was completely the rational actor in that in that

00:47:41.380 situation the gamestop employee no question triple eight seven two seven beck it's pat and stew for glenn

00:47:47.220 on the glenn beck program this is the glenn beck program let's talk about something real here you

00:47:55.440 can put off a lot of things in life you don't have to join a gym you can clean your gutters but usually

00:48:00.380 they will rot off your house but here's another thing you shouldn't put off and that is getting

00:48:03.920 home security it's your home it's your family it's your stuff you want to protect it but there's

00:48:09.020 always something holding you back and most likely it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying

00:48:13.800 a middleman and being indebted forever it also could be the fact that they want you to schedule

00:48:18.180 a six-hour installation window you don't have time for that simply safe home security has gotten rid

00:48:23.220 of all of those reasons not to get home security and i'm about to tell you how to save a ton too

00:48:53.340 pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program uh 888-727-BECK um apparently a couple of our

00:49:11.400 border officials are speaking out about the wall um national border patrol council president art del

00:49:19.020 cueto you might recognize the um name as perhaps of hispanic uh ethnicity did you perhaps by every

00:49:28.780 identifying characteristic that person is croatian and you called him a hispanic unbelievable it is

00:49:35.900 unbelievable uh so this was during a white house press briefing um and he was talking about building the

00:49:41.220 wall here's what he had to say

00:49:42.780 i just want to talk about some of those criminals that border patrol agents apprehend on a daily

00:49:51.620 basis we're talking about murderers rapists uh people that commit very serious crimes in this

00:49:56.280 country ice has been doing an amazing job in deporting a lot of these people back to their

00:50:00.340 countries unfortunately once we deport these people these people will not stay in their country

00:50:05.520 these criminal aliens that have been released from jail that have been deported will come right back

00:50:10.380 into the united states however we had a physical barrier if we had a wall we would be able to stop

00:50:15.620 that oh what what a hater what a hate monger what a racist that's that's amazing yeah he he outlines

00:50:25.480 here's a guy who deals with this every single day of the week every day he knows the criminal illegal

00:50:32.860 aliens are coming across the border and he knows that that's a problem and he knows that when they

00:50:38.380 catch him and they send him back they still come right back across the border so how would it be

00:50:43.060 what would happen if maybe we had some border security and maybe put up a wall to make it a little harder

00:50:48.520 for him that's amazing and they've also worked in areas with walls uh right this is not uh or at least

00:50:56.300 fencing yeah yeah fencing or yeah um because they one of them maybe it's this next clip here let's listen to

00:51:02.380 this next one this is uh hector garza you also might notice that is a croatian a croatian name

00:51:07.440 yeah here's victor garza this is broader patrol on needing a wall

00:51:11.780 uh okay so let's do the other one border patrol on wall nothing to do with politics we did those

00:51:20.600 backwards it has nothing to do with political parties you all gotta ask yourself this question

00:51:25.460 if i come to your home do you want me to knock on the front door or do you want me to climb through

00:51:31.980 that window we fully support the president and all his efforts to secure our nation's borders

00:51:37.600 wow that's pretty clear this is a weird situation because this is a clear called they said it was

00:51:43.880 going to be a press briefing so it was in the the room where you always see sarah huckabee sanders

00:51:47.400 talking yeah in the press briefing room uh and they didn't take any questions so that was a big that

00:51:52.480 was a big thing that all cnn was very upset that they didn't take any questions afterwards as if

00:51:56.380 something important was going to come after it the point here is that these guys were here they're

00:51:59.920 they obviously are uh have a hispanic background they're not haters of mexicans right they just

00:52:05.400 want the freaking border secured and they're the people on the front lines having to deal with it

00:52:08.900 every day and he said they routinely arrest murderers and rapists but a wall would help

00:52:15.060 stop them from coming back after they're deported i i mean again these are the guys who deal with it

00:52:22.380 every single day are you going to tell them they're racists are you going to tell them they're haters

00:52:27.000 right it's ridiculous and this debate gets so it's so boiled down to just nonsense i think

00:52:34.700 at this point like you know i think there are some people who believe the wall is going to solve this

00:52:40.620 problem and i know you're pro fence i'm pro fence um you know specifically in the areas where it is you

00:52:48.420 know most useful um but that's it's it's a small part of this problem what is it 40 percent of people

00:52:55.160 who are here illegally are over overstayed visas that has nothing to do with a wall yeah right

00:52:59.800 like there's ports we have ports we have a whole canadian border with no wall like there's a million

00:53:04.740 different things that could so there's still going to be illegal immigrants here whether the wall is

00:53:07.900 built or not and we shouldn't look at that as a as a um an end-all be-all it's just a step in the

00:53:15.120 right direction it will help yes right so why wouldn't we do it it will help secondarily the left acts

00:53:21.440 as if it won't work like i how inane of a viewpoint is it to say that a physical barrier won't stop

00:53:29.420 some people obviously it's not going to stop everybody you know if if um you know a giant

00:53:36.180 cartel decides they're going to break through that wall at some point they're going to be able to do

00:53:41.380 it and they're going to come through momentarily and we're going to have to try to stop them once

00:53:45.480 they're through like they're going to have the hardware to get through a fence or a wall yes but

00:53:50.580 you know what not every coyote not every group of immigrants who are coming over the border are

00:53:56.060 going to be able to do that it will stop a lot the the majority of the easy ones it's going to stop

00:54:00.960 the low-hanging fruit um and that's important that is important because you're stopping not only people

00:54:06.540 who are coming here illegally and that's their only crime but people have committed other crimes as

00:54:10.000 well sometimes serious ones triple eight seven twenty seven beck is our number we're going to pause for

00:54:13.960 only 60 seconds from a for a message from glenn beck and then we're back to talk more border

00:54:17.980 this is the glenn beck program every two seconds there is a new victim of identity theft which means

00:54:25.900 a criminal could be spending your money or applying for loans in your name or even damaging your credit

00:54:30.800 the good credit you've worked so hard to build unfortunately you might miss certain threats to

00:54:35.540 your identity just by checking bank statements or monitoring your credit but there's a good thing here

00:54:39.920 it's called lifelock identity theft protection lifelock uses technology that they came up with

00:55:21.860 it's matt stew for glad on the glenbeck program uh talking a little bit about the the border wall

00:55:38.900 uh which the democrats claim is just not going to get built it and i frankly i believe them i i don't

00:55:45.880 have a lot of confidence in it in it anymore and they just they claim it's not going to work anyway and

00:55:50.500 that it is immoral that's their new thing a wall is immoral since when is a wall immoral since when

00:55:56.740 is a fence immoral that's just it's asinine are you are you telling me the fence around the white

00:56:02.400 house is immoral are you telling me the wall around the vatican is immoral that's ridiculous

00:56:09.120 the wall is only there because of an immoral act right the idea that people are breaking the law and

00:56:15.540 coming in uh when they are uh not able to do it legally um that act i think is an immoral act in

00:56:22.800 many situations i mean you know asylum's different there's some exceptions to this uh we know but those

00:56:27.660 are again there's processes for that you don't just come you don't just come in you know it's like

00:56:32.340 you don't just come in and take something whether you think you should have it or not

00:56:35.580 you know i mean that's not yours and so like these are basic tenets of of civilization you're right

00:56:42.820 and so if they weren't doing that and the example is obvious it's true we don't just build walls on

00:56:48.780 borders where there's no problems look at our canadian one nobody's clamoring for a border wall

00:56:53.140 to the north they're not coming across the border illegally and breaking rules and staying here and

00:56:57.760 taking our benefits and doing all sorts of things they're not supposed to and it's not because

00:57:01.800 canada is predominantly white that we say no well we don't need a wall it's because there's not the

00:57:06.680 problem there that there is at the southern border right the wall is not moral

00:57:12.540 or immoral the wall is just a it's it's a structure that tries to enforce the law that's it

00:57:20.700 it tries to help enforce the law because apparently 20 million people uh from uh our southern border

00:57:28.420 or and how many is it maybe 10 of that uh have come through that way eight of it the bottom line

00:57:34.660 is those people can't be trusted without a wall they can't because there this is not like there should

00:57:40.000 be it should be enough to be able to say look come through the legal process and people should

00:57:46.200 follow the rules that is that should be enough uh and they're not doing that so this is why this step

00:57:51.940 is being taken the wall is immoral what are you talking about you put a wall lunacy it means it's

00:57:57.440 like if you can put a wall up for an immoral reason right it's theoretically possible like if you put a wall

00:58:05.720 up um around uh let's say uh the jewish ghetto right there's an immoral wall but it's not the wall

00:58:13.040 that's immoral it's the policy behind the wall if you're trying to trap your citizens inside your

00:58:18.260 country so you can continue to oppress them yeah berlin east germany for instance that's immoral that's

00:58:23.540 an immoral policy and you're going to shoot them if they try to leave right that's immoral the wall's

00:58:27.720 not immoral no it's ridiculous the wall is is just an idea to say hey you got to enforce the law and

00:58:33.820 we've tried to do it a hundred different ways we've tried to make we've tried to say hey don't

00:58:37.580 come we've said hey here's here's a new law that says you can't do that uh hey when you come here

00:58:41.840 you're not allowed to get x y and z we've tried a lot of stuff yeah we put border agents down there

00:58:47.160 we've tried with technology we we've said there's lots of physical you know barriers like rivers and

00:58:51.920 mountains and they still keep coming so we got to keep uh we you know taking another step to try to

00:58:57.620 reduce that percentage is i think appropriate it's not crazy this is not it's not a question of

00:59:02.840 morality or not follow the law and this wouldn't even need to happen

00:59:05.980 it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenn back program glenn's back on uh monday morning been

00:59:17.100 talking about the the wall um and how it's just not going to work is is what we're being told by

00:59:23.160 the democrats first of all they don't walls don't work and they're immoral silly ridiculous when they

00:59:30.520 put up the fence in san diego it was it was before the fence there was a cable that stretched

00:59:37.380 across uh the area to denote that you've crossed over from mexico to the united states and when they

00:59:43.840 built the fence it was a double and in some cases triple fence and i think it stretched something like

00:59:50.100 15 miles uh it stopped illegal crossings by 95 percent and uh violent crime went down over 90 percent

01:00:01.540 in the area in israel israel claims that uh the fence they built between them and the palestinians

01:00:09.760 uh led to a 90 percent reduction in terrorist strikes i mean walls and fences work that's why

01:00:17.560 they're always firing missiles over top now right yes it's harder to it's harder to get there again

01:00:22.620 it doesn't stop everybody it doesn't stop it certainly doesn't solve some of our other immigration

01:00:27.440 issues but it solves a the vast majority of of what you would call the low-hanging fruit like the easy

01:00:33.040 ones to stop if unless you're if you're a terrorist organization you may be able to come up with a

01:00:38.720 firepower to get through a wall or get around it if you have lots of resources but when you're talking

01:00:43.240 about people coming over who might be minor criminals who may be you know your typical uh you

01:00:48.800 know uh thief or whatever um you know along with a lot of people who just want to come in and may

01:00:54.920 have all the best intentions in the world to come here and and her you know save their family but

01:00:59.740 aren't doing it legally it's going to stop them and and you might say well i don't want those people

01:01:03.400 to be stopped well i i don't want them to be stopped either if a person who wants to come here

01:01:08.000 um that has all the best intentions and can do something here in our society and be a good actor

01:01:12.980 we all want them here they just need to come the right way yeah come legally and and we can revisit

01:01:17.940 once you stop the once you stop the flood when you have a break in your in your plumbing in your house

01:01:25.140 what do you do first you say hey uh i want to buy new appliances because um my my oven's not working

01:01:33.020 that well while the floor is being filled with water while it's flooding in your in your house no

01:01:38.940 you want to stop the flooding first and then you can deal with some of the other things going on in

01:01:43.960 your house and that's what that's kind of what the wall and the and the fencing is about it's get a

01:01:50.000 handle on the influx first and then you can deal with all all of the other situations you can you can

01:01:57.240 decide how many people are able to come here legally because now not as many people are coming

01:02:02.140 illegally you can make maybe make the process a little bit easier for those who are really in a

01:02:07.720 bad way um you can you can check on the visas and whether they've expired or not and we can fix a lot

01:02:14.240 of these problems but first of all it starts with border security that's where it's got to begin and

01:02:19.960 we've said that for years and they just won't do it which is so frustrating it's just it is and you

01:02:26.520 know now the word is that the president is in the game to uh trade daca for uh his wall funding which

01:02:33.600 i don't necessarily think is a great idea it's not but he you know he wants this wall badly obviously

01:02:39.740 um it was a big campaign promise and he's you know he was getting beat up by people on fox and on talk

01:02:44.640 radio for not saying you know he was he basically backed off initially uh his promise to uh close the

01:02:50.900 government um for for this purpose and i to his credit uh he is he's decided to reverse that and

01:02:57.720 has now said hey look we're gonna we're gonna let this go as far we i think it was tucker carlson had

01:03:02.940 mike pence on last night i mean pence doesn't seem like there's a lot of wiggle room here listen

01:03:06.420 new speaker of the house this morning again said no money for the wall well the american people know

01:03:11.760 walls work literally 2 000 people a day attempt to come into this country illegally by one means or

01:03:18.840 another we we can agree on those facts come together around solutions but part of that

01:03:25.080 solution means a wall it means a barrier in in along our southern border and it also means

01:03:31.360 technology drones the kind of support that our border agents know will assist them in doing their job

01:03:40.000 but but bottom line if there's no wall there's no deal i mean i hope they stick to that and i think

01:03:46.360 they will i i i hope so it's interesting because i don't think that there's any incentive for democrats

01:03:54.500 to go along with this because the media is going to assist them in every way possible

01:04:00.980 so why would they give up ground maybe they will i mean i you know they're just as incompetent as the

01:04:06.000 other side but like maybe they will but politically i don't see what why why would they bother it just

01:04:12.780 going to want everyone's i mean trump already said on record it was his shutdown he's there's no blame

01:04:18.120 argument going back and forth here he's already said he's taken the blame for it again to his credit

01:04:22.680 if he if he believes in it and he's willing to take the the the heat that's great but um you know

01:04:30.540 he's already said it they're going to be able to run ads with him saying that over and over and over

01:04:34.860 and over again which they will which they will so why what incentive did they have other than to

01:04:40.840 make this as bad as possible like for them the more pain the better here because it's all donald trump

01:04:46.720 who caused it and i can't imagine they're going to be like well unless they get something really

01:04:51.660 big like daca level big right like daca something they've been fighting for for what 15 years long

01:04:57.880 and and it was done unconstitutionally and they you know they might want that maybe that would be

01:05:04.780 enough but that was already rejected and they're saying that's not enough now they're going to want

01:05:09.020 something either very big or they'll just let this thing just sit there and bleed eventually you know

01:05:14.980 the pressure something's got to give yeah something's going to give and they're and by the way the way

01:05:19.940 they're handling this is the way i've argued republicans should handle these things before when barack

01:05:23.760 obama was in office they've passed all the spending bills for every other department so they said

01:05:28.440 there's like seven agencies that are closed down here and they've passed all the spending bills for

01:05:32.860 six of them so all of those people could come back to work today if republicans weren't quote unquote in

01:05:38.520 the way right that's the way they're framing it and um and there's the homeland security one they've

01:05:43.740 passed with uh they've passed a temper or they're going to passing a temporary measure that would like say

01:05:49.280 okay well we'll negotiate the wall for a month but you let these people come back to work

01:05:53.680 so this is an easy sell for the media to swallow and he's already said on record it's his it's his

01:05:59.840 shutdown it's trump's shutdown so this the only you know as these 800 000 people or whatever it is

01:06:05.240 that aren't getting paid uh you know this goes on and on and on and on there's it's going to ramp up

01:06:11.680 the pressure on republicans and it's it's going to make life easier for democrats is at least i think

01:06:15.980 the way they're seeing it so i don't see why they would bother giving in on this one do you i mean

01:06:21.200 no they probably won't i but somebody's gonna have to see it's gonna have to either be trump or

01:06:27.060 or democrats and something has to give is there some point down the road we just realized actually

01:06:33.040 maybe we didn't need all that stuff like this has been six months of a shutdown and i i haven't

01:06:37.520 noticed anything i think you and i would realize that but i don't the federal workers are a big

01:06:41.780 deal right like i mean even though i think bureaucracies are too big you should be getting

01:06:45.240 paid for your work i mean i was at the airport on this vacation and and as i went through the tsa

01:06:49.940 the guy said someone asked hey how's your holiday going it'd be good if i was getting paid

01:06:54.360 this is response oh wow like i mean there have to be there working and they're not getting paid

01:07:00.160 at this point now once you hit the first couple weeks it's just bs right because you're not even

01:07:05.140 getting you wouldn't get a paycheck anyway you wouldn't necessarily notice you're not getting

01:07:08.260 quote-unquote paid but we're getting to the point now where we're hitting past paychecks and soon

01:07:11.540 it'll be multiple paychecks those people will get into real have started having real financial

01:07:15.680 problems in the not too distant future yeah and that and they're going to stop doing the job for

01:07:20.400 free yeah and they sued now because of that i mean and i actually support them why can the government

01:07:25.320 support force people to go to work without paying them like that's not a good precedent to set i think

01:07:30.880 we had an amendment to stop that sort of practice right like you're not supposed to be able to force

01:07:35.480 people to work without paying them uh so what would it be like if our congress actually passed

01:07:42.440 uh a budget rather than spending bills all the time rather than temporary spending bills that last

01:07:50.860 for six months or eight months or or nine months what if we actually passed a budget for the first

01:07:57.180 time in nine years and actually ran the government the way it's supposed to wouldn't that be great

01:08:03.760 that would be nice why can't we so we should be insisting on that as well we should absolutely put

01:08:09.320 our foot down as american people and insist on that i mean they couldn't we're not going to with

01:08:13.900 total republican control they're certainly not going to do it that's true right right i mean

01:08:17.780 they're not going to they're not um one way to pay for this with the wall would be the uh el chapo act

01:08:23.180 this was reintroduced by ted cruz uh over uh the last 24 hours which basically says hey you know when

01:08:30.400 we like we're prosecuting el chapo and we take a bunch of his assets those assets should go to border

01:08:35.280 security whenever we take a drug lord down and we get a bunch of their assets that money should go

01:08:40.080 to the wall uh i think it's a great idea it's the clearest line if we're getting drug money that's

01:08:46.400 exactly where it should go to stop future incidents where drug lords are able to take advantage of our

01:08:51.900 country um again this is another thing that couldn't even pass among republicans so i doubt it's

01:08:56.940 going to pass here but it's a good idea if we can get a billion dollars off of el chapo hey we're 20

01:09:02.180 percent of the way there for that funding uh to start up that wall which i like that we've talked

01:09:07.420 about this before it doesn't make sense to me that it would cost 25 billion dollars to build a freaking

01:09:12.180 long wall or long fence i mean they keep saying like wow it's seven million dollars a mile it's

01:09:18.480 like really is it i get 34 million is it 34 million a mile 34 million a mile does that seem right no

01:09:24.100 forget it doesn't i like i feel like i could go to home depot and get it done easier cheaper than

01:09:28.180 that that's what i feel like actually so have you ever have you ever you've had an office job before

01:09:33.720 right didn't you sell insurance or something for like a year where you're sitting you know when

01:09:37.580 you're sitting in a cubicle and um you want to do something you want to go get something from

01:09:42.940 another co-worker but the last thing you want to do is go around that cubicle wall it's like you

01:09:47.340 you'd rather yell over it or toss things over it over and over again because you're too lazy to get

01:09:52.540 off your fat ass and go around the corner around the cubicle wall yeah i think it would be cheaper

01:09:58.000 what if we build the wall out of cubicle walls because you know it's a compromise position you

01:10:05.080 know the the left doesn't want a wall the right wants this you know 30 foot wall if you come up

01:10:09.540 with just a nice cubicle wall no one wants to cross a cubicle wall and it can't cost that much

01:10:13.820 it can't cost that much and we could still talk over it maybe throw things over to each other if we

01:10:17.720 want to we can keep relations open i like it i think we just line up a bunch of cubicle walls

01:10:22.120 all across the border and we solve the problem for like half the cost and think of the business

01:10:27.660 for office max right and staples throw a lot of office supplies over it you really could really

01:10:33.320 good you really could i bet they have some sort of discount like if you buy more than one you maybe

01:10:37.240 get a gift card we could start giving away gift cards we can buy lots of number two pencils

01:10:41.940 there's a lot here plan i i think that's what we go with triple eight seven two seven be easy k it's

01:10:48.920 pat and stew for glenn on the glenn peck program hey it's pat and stew uh for glenn triple eight

01:10:58.300 seven two seven be ck uh sexism claims of course from the bernie sanders camp uh from his uh 2016 run

01:11:07.800 um apparently women were paid less i think we talked about this a little bit yesterday

01:11:12.060 the women were paid less and treated worse um and i i don't know i i get the impression that the

01:11:18.940 democrats are pretty much done with bernie sanders done with hillary clinton and they're looking for

01:11:23.840 the new kids in town it's going to be betto's show they're sending them a look at the coverage

01:11:28.520 between betto and sanders they're sending a signal betto's in you're out you're out old old man get

01:11:33.480 out of here and it's almost like we don't even want you to run this time we don't want to waste

01:11:37.540 any democrat funds on on you old guard people nope it's going to be all betto all the time i think

01:11:43.940 it seems to the activists and i don't know if it's even biden i think biden might be bitten by that

01:11:49.040 bug as well maybe i think biden it's possible i think they i think they see biden as a possible

01:11:57.520 real threat to trump if he were to win um again i don't know if that's misled but misleading but i

01:12:05.600 think they they think that there's a chance there with bernie i think they realize like bernie sanders

01:12:09.760 is not winning this election like and who knows in this world i mean i would not be surprised about

01:12:14.200 anything i wouldn't be surprised if a kardashian jumped in a week before the election at this point

01:12:19.540 i wouldn't either but like i you know i don't think sanders is it you can get the same policies

01:12:25.240 out of about 10 different candidates on the democratic side that are better chances to win

01:12:30.720 than bernie sanders for sure you know beto kamala harris uh you know uh kirsten gillibrand uh beto

01:12:38.040 o'rourke for sure uh you know julian castro like there's a million people they're essentially the

01:12:43.460 same socialist policies same policies as bernie just in a younger package there's not a ton of

01:12:47.640 diversity when it comes to um uh ideal ideology on the democratic oh there's almost none where there

01:12:54.280 really was with with republicans last time they had 17 candidates and you had everything from

01:12:57.860 i mean george pataki ran right like you had that all the way to ted cruz like you had a real wide

01:13:03.420 choice to to select from there on the left you have all the way from communism clear to socialism

01:13:09.280 right i mean who's the most conservative person that looks like they're going to run the most

01:13:14.500 moderate democrat i mean it might be biden who's you know yeah i think it would be biden you know

01:13:19.200 he's a 90 percent liberal right like he's just not 99 percent liberal occasionally he'll say something

01:13:25.120 about the free market or something just an article about how some democrats yeah i was i was reading

01:13:30.880 maybe it was early this morning where they were saying biden is is not liberal enough yeah for us

01:13:36.160 we don't like and we don't want him to run because biden is going to look at this and say i can appeal

01:13:39.980 to pennsylvania to wisconsin to to michigan to ohio i can win those states by being quote unquote

01:13:46.720 rational right well bernie sanders has no chance of that but as these guys compete to get further to the

01:13:52.060 left of each other you know you know kamala harris is going to push abeto o'rourke further to the left

01:13:58.200 to win the primary votes and that is going to be it's a bad formula they're going to want someone

01:14:03.600 who looks moderately rational at some point and and they're going to say biden's the guy i mean

01:14:07.940 there's other people who you think you know there's governors from you know from like western states

01:14:13.220 and uh you know i don't know joe mansion or somebody like that that they're going to try to

01:14:17.240 throw up there as like malley again maybe right but none of those people are legitimate threats at

01:14:21.600 least at this point i mean as far as someone who would look as like let's say a democrat that could

01:14:27.680 exist in the year 2000 biden and i don't know who else no i think that's it out of the ones that

01:14:36.040 we know about that are probably going to run biden's probably the most moderate and that says

01:14:41.320 something yeah that's amazing i mean bernie sanders put up the medicare for all proposal in 2013

01:14:46.680 and got zero co-sponsors from democrats zero and now everybody's on that bandwagon everybody we

01:14:51.720 just named is on that bandwagon except except as far as i know biden wow

01:14:55.260 888-727-BEZK it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program

01:15:01.780 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenbeck program

01:15:11.340 with pat and stew glenn is back on monday 888-727-BEZK just a quick mention of of the jobs

01:15:22.400 situation december was really good 312 000 new jobs that's that's a pretty good number yeah and

01:15:28.460 a record almost 157 million working plus uh lowest hispanic unemployment ever american history so that's

01:15:39.260 great yeah um great news uh that the unemployment rate did tick up a little bit to 3.9 which is not

01:15:45.080 really seen as a bad sign considering it's more people getting into the workforce right now right

01:15:48.860 in fact the markets are saying how much they like it it's the dow currently up 660 points

01:15:53.120 but this is like every day right now it's up 600 it's down it's down 800 it's up 1200 it's it's this

01:16:00.000 is a really volatile time if you're in the market very um and you know over time this stuff usually

01:16:06.160 smooths itself out but it can make you nervous you gotta be oh i'm very nervous right now about it

01:16:12.260 very nervous uh but you know what do you do if you if you pull out now you've lost money

01:16:20.040 if you let it ride you take the chance that you might lose more but it might come back too and it

01:16:25.160 because it has virtually every time it's slumped in the last few years you know there's the typical

01:16:31.840 approach here is if you need the money soon you probably should already be in a low risk position

01:16:37.860 when it comes to the market so if you're nearing retirement you might need to access that money

01:16:41.420 and if you need the money long in the future just stick it out i mean that's the typical

01:16:45.840 unless you believe as glenn does that it's going to be catastrophic yep then i don't know what to

01:16:51.320 has glenn ever thought something wasn't going to be catastrophic has that ever occurred i don't

01:16:55.520 think so you know other than a donut has there ever i mean occasionally you look at a donut

01:16:59.860 and you said this one's going to be good outside of that i don't remember much of that yeah there's

01:17:03.760 not a lot i mean look he he's had this opinion for a long time because he's looking at it structurally

01:17:07.520 and obviously he was completely right on this in 2007 and people say oh he called the 2008 collapse

01:17:13.160 which is true however he called it way beforehand he called it before it really it even started

01:17:18.180 looking down seven or oh six it was i would say it was oh seven when i first early oh so like a year

01:17:24.160 yeah in advance maybe i mean oh six maybe he saw as part of it but i remember when that was going on

01:17:29.260 we had a guest on i think it was god that had it was at the cnn show at the time yes the cnn show

01:17:34.760 and a guy came on the air and he was saying that that was going to go to 36 000 oh jeez and at that

01:17:41.000 point wow remember what it was 14 he's like it's going to go to 36 000 and glenn's like you're nuts

01:17:47.020 and they fought it out in the air they had like a good spirited argument um and then you know i don't

01:17:51.960 know a year later it was 6 500 that's what that was i mean and still i mean to this day even at the

01:17:57.560 peak uh in october was 25 000 it never got to 36 000 it also shows what time period it was to say

01:18:04.580 i think glenn was on cnn at that time you can't even imagine that glenn back on cnn yeah i mean

01:18:09.560 it was headline news but still true but but still in that building we were in the same building with

01:18:13.820 all the all the people that you recognize from cnn walking see him in the hallways in the elevator

01:18:18.480 every day uh it was a weird time i will say cnn's got a sweet hook up there that's a nice place to

01:18:24.460 work you know you don't like first of all they're fantastic with things like vacations and i remember

01:18:30.680 the the people who were there like the benefits were really nice but in the building they've got

01:18:35.360 this unbelievable cafeteria where like you go up and it's like all the food's pretty cheap and it's

01:18:40.520 like really good and you can just walk in whenever you want and get food i mean it was a nice place to

01:18:45.300 work nice you when we left cnn to go to fox a lot of people you know a lot of people on the staff

01:18:50.640 really you know liked glenn and glenn glenn had a great relationship with the staff over cnn that

01:18:55.800 worked for glenn um but most of them didn't come to fox mainly because the reputation fox has in

01:19:01.860 the industry is like it's a tough place to work i don't know that maybe that's changed since we were

01:19:06.220 there um and it was never like that for us because glenn kind of had special cutouts we did the whole

01:19:11.940 show basically from a whole nother office and we would just walk over and do the show but you know

01:19:16.300 it's a tough place to work it's long hours the vacation's not as nice there's not it's the desks

01:19:20.160 aren't as nice the offices aren't nice like you know that it was it was a much more difficult place

01:19:24.440 so people who are just generally working in the news industry in new york and can choose cnn or fox

01:19:29.540 most of the time will pick cnn because it's a much more cushy job it's a better place and you would

01:19:34.860 never suspect that yeah you wouldn't ever from the outside but yeah i mean they they treat it more

01:19:39.440 you know you get all the perks over at cnn at least back in that time now they've had cutbacks and

01:19:44.660 stuff since i don't know how much of that has changed yeah that was a different time period

01:19:47.620 yeah for everybody in media i mean everybody's had cutbacks in media i mean it's you know it's a lot

01:19:51.740 of competition these days um so everything's hard for everybody i guess at this point and maybe that's

01:19:57.240 still the case but you know that's it was an interesting dynamic to see firsthand things are

01:20:01.120 getting a little bit tough in the movie industry right now for uh environmentalists i love this they're

01:20:07.280 actually becoming the movie villains now often which is fun to see and not in like some conservative

01:20:12.780 piece like you know uh the sequel to one of glenn's fiction books right like it's not that

01:20:17.940 no it's it's mainstream big budget hollywood movies yeah this is a great and this is in the washington

01:20:23.520 post today sunny bunch wrote this up but listen to this listen to some of these examples and i haven't

01:20:28.680 some of these pat you're gonna have to help me with uh because the the the villain in avengers

01:20:34.440 affinity war did you see that i did he he is kind of an environmentalist right um was his name thanos

01:20:41.580 is that yes um uh he was this is the write-up in again the washington post um uh thanos the villain

01:20:49.260 of the two billion dollar grossing mega hit avengers infinity wow that made two billion dollars amazing

01:20:54.260 was basically an omni-powered paul ehrlich whereas the comic book version of thanos sought to kill half

01:21:00.140 of the universe in order to prove his love for uh for death um the film version was driven insane

01:21:06.380 by his home planet's self-immolation after a series of resource wars determined to eliminate suffering

01:21:12.460 over food and land over clean air and water thanos used the infinity gauntlet not to create abundance of

01:21:18.380 each but to kill half of all living things again i these are these aren't spoiler alert territories

01:21:25.040 no it's not because everybody knows i think now right by now this is a big meme on the internet a lot

01:21:29.720 of the people die yeah at the end in every this is all what's happening is super i will say aquaman

01:21:35.280 is still in the world where they're probably all spoiler alerts so let me be careful with this one

01:21:39.820 yeah but you saw this too right you saw aquaman yeah you like it yeah it was okay it was okay it's

01:21:44.160 not bad um so king orm is one of the characters orm hopes to unite the underwater clans of atlantis in

01:21:51.020 order to create an unstoppable army that will destroy life on the planet's land masses but orm is no

01:21:55.720 madman his genocidal war was not the result of personal trauma or ideological insanity it is

01:22:00.800 rather a version of self-defense the surface dwellers dump their trash into the water strangling

01:22:06.580 sea life the surface dwellers spew their smoke into the skies choking the ocean with particulates

01:22:12.020 the surface dwellers hunt to extinction the ocean's animals depriving the atlanteans of conveyances

01:22:18.600 humanity must die so atlantis might live again that's just an environmental argument

01:22:22.820 right yeah i mean we saw this from bernie sanders radical environmentalism yeah what's this

01:22:27.800 difference between either one of these arguments from thanos or uh king orm what's the difference

01:22:33.000 from bernie sanders saying we must treat global warming as it is a massive military attack and

01:22:37.860 act accordingly same thing same argument yeah it is but this is what they're saying they're saying

01:22:41.580 this is their environmental problems are killing atlantis so we must you know respond by killing them

01:22:46.900 all and this one i did see which is when it came out i thought was one of the most stunning

01:22:51.480 things i've ever witnessed coming out of hollywood which was kingsman the secret service now this

01:22:57.700 would not be one you saw i don't think no i didn't see it pretty one of the most violent movies i've

01:23:02.620 ever seen in my entire life oh really oh yeah i mean kingsman movies are super violent um i like them

01:23:09.720 i like the first one they're weird and they're quirky and they're incredibly violent and disturbing at

01:23:16.460 times but like it's kind of like james bond but it had like someone took some level of drugs as

01:23:22.620 they were writing a james bond script it's like that sort of storyline um but kingsman the secret

01:23:27.240 service um is a few years ago kingsman featured as a villain a tech guru named valentine played by

01:23:34.320 samuel l jackson the billionaire was so disgusted by humanity's excesses and so riled by uh the

01:23:40.600 excretions of the masses that he engineered a plot to kill all of us in the most horribly violent

01:23:45.380 manner possible he invented a device that would cause man to turn against man um with bare hands

01:23:51.220 and tear each other apart in so doing the planet would be cleansed of humanity's foul stench

01:23:56.280 uh once free of the riffraff wealthy swells and fabulous celebrities would reclaim the planet for

01:24:01.540 themselves and rebuild the world in their image clean pristine free of the gauche hordes who have

01:24:06.800 rendered our air travel unbearable and our beaches crowded messes that is uh that's the movie which

01:24:12.800 it's insane i mean like this is a guy basically saying global warming so bad we have to kill

01:24:16.880 everyone i mean absolutely could be in a glenn beck novel right like it's like definitely you know

01:24:22.620 that was the storyline to that one and it's interesting because there is i i don't think it's

01:24:28.880 i'm surprised by it i'm surprised hollywood has embraced this and basically made in big budget movie

01:24:34.680 after big budget movie environmentalist the villains but they're convenient villains they make

01:24:38.780 sense as villains because taking their claims to their logical ends they have no choice but to kill

01:24:46.520 everybody on earth right like we know the average environmentalist that you know has no interest in

01:24:50.820 killing someone but like if you won't get to super villain area take their ideological arguments

01:24:55.840 which is everyone's going to die because of x y and z i better kill half of them to save the other

01:25:00.980 half right that starts to make sense when you go down these environmental roads and it's why people

01:25:05.440 um have said you know paul erlich is one of them um you know uh the prince in uh uh the uk is one of

01:25:12.740 them um you know people from environmentalist sites and activist groups have said you know human beings

01:25:18.540 are the virus here the reason we're having these problems is because of human beings we if we would

01:25:23.080 just remove human beings things would be better it's literally how they look at things so it's not

01:26:44.920 it seems to me that you know we're just talking about these environmentalist uh villains uh here in

01:27:00.560 the glenbeck program with pat and stew and uh why hollywood is using environmentalism to these radical

01:27:07.520 environmentalists to be the bad guy uh and it's it happened in uh avengers infinity war it's it's the

01:27:16.620 case in aquaman and it seems to me i haven't seen it in a while but mission impossible fallout the main

01:27:23.900 villain in that uh solomon lane his deal is he wants to kill i think it was 30 percent of the

01:27:31.060 world's population so that the world order can reset and be better to the planet and and each other

01:27:40.100 it's it's the same kind of environmental environmentalist message it seems to me i they're doing this in

01:27:46.900 every maybe it's so they can avoid muslim terrorists jihadists maybe that's part of it too

01:27:53.160 yeah although i'm actually surprised that would be their priority to defend i mean because they did

01:27:57.320 obviously there's been a lot of movies over the years that have touched on that area but they are

01:28:01.900 very sensitive about it obviously when that sensitivity really started rearing its head

01:28:06.460 then they sort of seems like they went to french guys yeah we'll do french guys because they're safe to

01:28:11.800 to make into villains and then it turned into maybe serbians because everybody hates the serbians

01:28:17.660 because the serbians were evil but now they found somebody new that so they can make them americans i

01:28:23.980 guess i i don't know i don't know it's an interesting turn of events i would not have seen that one coming

01:28:28.360 but it is interesting it's a great it's an easy villain right it's it's someone that's that ideologically

01:28:34.180 um crazy about one particular cause can justify anything i mean if you if your legitimate argument is

01:28:41.080 if you take al gore seriously and you say what he believes is 20 you know 20 feet of water is

01:28:48.900 going to come crashing over our shores and kill millions and millions and millions of people

01:28:53.440 what wouldn't you do to stop that right now for him he won't even retrofit his house with the solar

01:28:59.100 panels like you know like what shows what a pathetic hypocrite he is he won't even cancel flights

01:29:04.540 right right like i mean and so none of these people you can take seriously but he won't commit to not

01:29:08.820 flying privately even yeah won't even do that and and that was it's that was the case in the

01:29:14.960 kingsman movie the billionaire tech guy who wound up trying to kill everybody on the planet uh his

01:29:20.600 argument was we always talk about global warming but we never do anything about it we need someone

01:29:24.200 who's going to do something about it i'm willing to actually make the sacrifice you want a mass

01:29:28.440 murderer with some ethics you really do and so it's good that they provided us one well you know

01:29:33.560 in real life bill gates is a big population control guy he's not looking to kill people i don't think

01:29:40.340 he wants to kill people but he certainly wants to stop them from being born yeah he wants to lower

01:29:44.640 the birth rate yes in in particularly in impoverished areas and some of the stuff he wants to do is is

01:29:50.440 really positive uh some of it is questionable you know um but like again you can with unlimited

01:29:58.140 resources and that ideology taken to its logical ends you know i you could get there like people

01:30:06.220 start thinking that way and how do we know bill gates isn't a diabolical genius who's plotting to uh

01:30:12.420 to set off nuclear weapons uh too boring major too too boring to do that yeah yeah you need to have

01:30:20.180 someone interesting that's probably and bill gates is hard to even get through one of his speeches

01:30:23.580 about it uh so uh i i saw bird box last night did you see oh this is the one that like 45 million

01:30:30.180 people according to netflix have seen yeah 45 million accounts 45 million accounts so i mean i

01:30:36.080 watched it what is that 100 million people maybe three people were watching it with us you know there

01:30:40.760 was two other people watching it with us last night so i mean this is a it was a uh was it worth it

01:30:46.240 yeah it's good i don't of course it's include i mean it's just free on netflix it's free on netflix so

01:30:50.680 if you're already on netflix i mean why not give it a shot i would i definitely put it in the

01:30:54.340 category of a quiet place that came out last year um if you remember with i want to say i hate to i

01:30:59.560 hate to do this to him because he has he's done other things but jim from the office i can't i just

01:31:04.360 love him too much in that role i love that show too much he's always going to be jim from the office

01:31:08.060 i'm sorry i think he's he's used to it but he's had and he's in the jack ryan thing on amazon yeah

01:31:13.360 and he was in 13 was it 13 hours yep which is really good really good and a quiet place i really

01:31:18.160 liked and i really liked this too i thought they were both really good

01:31:20.420 but they're very similar movies if you've seen one you kind of go down the same road it's very

01:31:25.800 similar type of story i think it's a quiet place you can't make any noise and in bird box you can't

01:31:33.400 look at anything kind of the concept so huh it's an interesting concept to try to pull off

01:31:39.420 sandra bullock's in it yeah sandra bullock and um john malkovich and a few others yeah it was well

01:31:45.420 done i mean and it's the fact that like now you're at a point where the the top way to make

01:31:53.760 a movie big is to put it on netflix if you want people to see it you put it on netflix they're

01:31:59.120 actually now talking about a whole change in the way movies come to you and all that it's already

01:32:03.880 happening and it's already happening we're making that transition because they used to have to spend

01:32:07.020 20 million dollars to market a movie now they put it on the netflix home screen and pay zero dollars

01:32:11.740 to market a movie i mean that is a big deal and then way more people have seen it and i don't

01:32:17.480 know anybody who i mean i was flipping through that thing last night who's going to give up that

01:32:20.200 subscription it's too good yeah it's like 12 a month and it's just unlimited entertainment and

01:32:25.680 unlimited you're getting big budget hollywood movies now new ones yeah it really is included in the

01:32:57.680 stuff you want to protect it but there's always something holding you back and most likely it's the

01:33:02.040 idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman and being indebted forever it also could

01:33:06.980 be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour installation window you don't have time for

01:33:43.920 triple eight seven two seven beck pack ray stubert gear for glenn uh who is back on monday now there's a

01:34:03.700 big effort uh by the democrats to eliminate the electoral college and this is not i not a surprise to me i

01:34:13.840 know not a surprise to you pat um i wrote a piece after the 2016 election like you know the things i

01:34:19.340 learned or observations and i wrote uh uh if the popular vote estimates hold which we know that they

01:34:25.080 they did wind up doing this will be the second time in five elections democrats have won the popular

01:34:29.620 vote and lost the presidency and that just irritates them so much they are going to come

01:34:34.520 after the electoral college and a lot of people i think this is true on both sides will will listen to

01:34:38.720 them the argument for it is nuanced and it takes using your brain a little bit and that's not

01:34:42.660 exactly the american strong point and it takes understanding the founder's intent yeah and why

01:34:47.000 they did what they did yeah and i will say one of the big problems with it and the reason why it's a

01:34:50.860 legitimate threat is one the biggest the only as far as i know republican who supports getting rid of

01:34:57.640 the electoral college is donald trump he has advocated for a national popular vote many times

01:35:03.740 and and still believes that that's not one of those things that you know he believed in 2000 and now

01:35:07.900 you know he's even after he benefited even after he benefited from it wow and his point which is

01:35:13.560 completely true is if it was a national popular vote i would have chased the national popular vote

01:35:18.000 and won in another way right you know whether that's whether he would have won or not i don't know but i

01:35:22.420 mean again you go to population centers right you go to population centers and try to get a bunch of

01:35:27.540 people rather than trying to win you know uh you know michigan or wisconsin and that's one of the

01:35:33.020 things that's what will happen if you go to a popular vote you'll only have candidates going to

01:35:38.000 los angeles right like yeah the democrats will never leave california why why would you yeah why

01:35:43.260 would you you don't you don't need vermont you don't need iowa you don't have to go to montana

01:35:47.860 you don't have to pay attention to utah or indiana you just and this is the reason the founders

01:35:55.020 did what they did yeah uh how much time do we have left uh before break okay so we don't have

01:35:59.340 time to play it here but we do have um if you want to go on it today if you hear people

01:36:02.880 arguing about this um there's a new prager university out about the electoral college

01:36:07.140 explains it really well explains it well explains how we're not a democracy we're a constitutional

01:36:10.580 republic by the way such a great point yeah and that's important so if you want to go check that

01:36:14.620 out maybe we'll tweet it out here uh coming up because uh that's something that is important

01:36:18.720 and they one of the first things they did as they got power in the house was introduce a bill

01:36:22.760 to get rid of the electoral college it's amazing can't let it happen all right back in a second

01:36:28.660 triple eight seven twenty seven beck is the number it's pat and stew in for glenn on the

01:36:33.080 glenn beck program glenn returns monday

01:36:35.120 it's pat and stew uh for glenn on the glenn beck program triple eight seven two seven beck we're

01:36:47.520 joined by jason buttrell uh what's on your mind today i wanted to talk about this yesterday i'm

01:36:53.120 probably going to talk about a little bit more on the uh news and why a little bit later um of course i'll

01:36:56.840 have my required sport coat on nice for when that happens um but this whole uh thing with this

01:37:02.640 american being arrested in russia has kind of got me a little bit of fast a little bit fascinated

01:37:07.220 um and especially because i saw a lot of people commenting on mainstream news about how

01:37:11.820 they thought it was leverage to maybe get maria butina um back as her as their spy you guys

01:37:18.140 remember that story she was like the relatively hot spy is that uh no that was like anna chapman

01:37:23.620 like way back in the day this was this was uh this was the gun activist lady and supposedly she

01:37:29.700 was i think she actually yeah she did she actually you know admitted to conspiracy not spying which was

01:37:35.600 interesting but she admitted and pled guilty to conspiracy and the thing with her was and i'll get

01:37:40.800 back to uh paul whelan the american that was just arrested in moscow the thing with her was is that

01:37:45.800 she was so obviously not a russian spy trained in russian tradecraft she was taking do you remember

01:37:51.940 that she she was taking selfies in front of the white house and posting it didn't she actually

01:37:55.840 ask trump a question at a rally she did yeah i mean all the things that you would think a spy

01:38:00.400 would draw attention to yourself she's doing them all right exactly she's like saying here i am this

01:38:04.800 what i'm doing so basically what it boils down to is she was working for this guy that was the head

01:38:09.020 of the uh russian central bank and uh he's also kind of like a pro-gun guy um which is a very strange

01:38:15.760 thing over there in russia but he's also a friend of putin or i guess so he's connected to putin

01:38:20.500 everyone's connected to putin in some way but they they drew those connections like oh my gosh

01:38:24.880 russian spy she's not a russian spy i think she was maybe doing corporate espionage or something

01:38:30.060 like that for her boss this other guy either way she was doing some things she shouldn't have been

01:38:34.180 doing but this paul whelan guy is very very similar so paul whelan was a uh he was a former marine i think

01:38:40.740 he actually got a bad conduct discharge um he uh he worked for corporate security uh for some i don't

01:38:48.000 know like an auto manufacturer or something like that and he's also a surprise surprise very very

01:38:52.820 active on social media there's this russian social media thing like it's compared to facebook he's

01:38:57.400 got an account there a bunch of russian friends he's always posting selfies like around moscow

01:39:01.960 very very very very similar case um he was picked up uh as he was going to a friend's wedding

01:39:09.320 in russia and they're the russians are obviously claiming that he's a spy he's some kind of cia

01:39:15.380 spy or something like that which is hogwash completely ridiculous first off he wouldn't

01:39:19.940 be able to pass a security clearance to get uh to be a american spy if he got a bad conduct discharge

01:39:26.000 um spy work doesn't include uh taking selfies and posting them on social media

01:39:32.000 i mean unless tradecraft has changed a lot since you know i'm no longer part of the community it's

01:39:38.860 not that does that's not involved i will say though is there a sub argument to say

01:39:42.780 the alibi that is the normal activity of every human being on earth basically right

01:39:48.560 is posting dopey selfies of yourself everywhere you go right is there a point that if you're not

01:39:52.640 doing it you start to stand out at some at some point it becomes you you if you don't participate

01:39:59.300 yeah you are now the weird one yeah maybe i mean maybe i maybe i could defend him if he was posting

01:40:04.440 cat videos okay cat memes or something like that then i could give that a pass cat memes are i've

01:40:08.900 always been allowed in tradecraft as far as i understand yes since the dawn of time um but so

01:40:15.340 this so the bottom line is this guy's not a spy but he very very mimics maria butina a lot now i

01:40:20.880 think where the mainstream uh news uh or the media is kind of diverging here is they're they want so

01:40:26.520 desperately for her to be a putin-sent ordered spy and it's all part of you know russian collusion in

01:40:32.060 some way and you know implicate the GOP in some way and that's just not the case uh they're going in

01:40:37.080 that direction but i do see how these cases are very very similar i think that we have entered

01:40:41.940 into a stage of kind of like tick for tack you know like yeah you arrest one of our guys i'll

01:40:46.700 arrest one of your guys um you want leverage for this fine we'll take leverage for that that's kind

01:40:52.660 of how these games work but now we we've lost the ability to think through these things rationally

01:40:57.800 and we got to say oh this is because these people are colluding with you know with this

01:41:01.380 government um we've lost all ability to do that of course it is the same in china really china's

01:41:06.380 doing this we did the state department just did their uh you know just released a statement saying

01:41:10.240 that they're uh warning people traveling to china they said that you could be picked up on erroneous

01:41:15.420 erroneous crimes um they happened to what two three canadians recently over there again tick for

01:41:22.420 tax stuff we re-arrested one of their businessmen now they're arresting some of uh canada's businessmen

01:41:27.400 it's going to start happening to us um so it's it's a very very dangerous time like i had a couple of

01:41:32.920 friends that were going to take a protective detail in russia and i was like no do not um this

01:41:37.620 guy was a this paul whelan was a former marine uh and did security for a company these two guys are

01:41:44.240 former like special forces and they also worked for a very high-end contracting military contracting

01:41:49.740 company they would pick them up like that so i'm like guys no but if you are thinking i've been to

01:41:54.840 russia twice in the past five six years i would not go back at all i wouldn't go to china right now

01:42:00.560 it's just that dangerous really that's interesting i i it's it's funny to watch this and one of the

01:42:05.460 things that's been bizarre about the donald trump era is because donald trump says something is good

01:42:14.440 or bad the media must take the opposite position on it yeah and it's funny to see i mean you watch

01:42:20.540 the mainstream media right now many republicans take the same position i think that's true and so

01:42:24.920 it's been interesting to watch so many republicans now think russia's fine yeah they're our friend

01:42:30.780 but they're great but watch the mainstream media coverage of russia like all the time we we had to

01:42:35.580 pull out ivan drago to convince them that they were bad back in the day yeah like you know this is uh

01:42:41.360 they russia was covered in the mainstream media in a complete like they made they all they try to do

01:42:46.840 is disprove what ronald reagan was saying about them that they were not you know they really the evil

01:42:52.320 empire they're not really that way communism's all not all that bad come on and now they're they're

01:42:57.740 all you watch the mainstream media coverage they are they take russia seriously man they really do

01:43:02.600 all of a sudden they take russia seriously free trade man have you ever seen the mainstream media

01:43:07.380 be more free trade than they are today because they get to criticize trump on the tariffs so now all

01:43:12.060 the sudden this thing that ronald reagan fought for that the conservative movement looked at as a

01:43:18.340 massive priority for its entire existence basically now you turn on cnn and they're saying all these

01:43:24.800 wonderful things about trade i mean it's really incredible to watch it is i mean they will do they

01:43:31.140 will do anything the border wall would use this example yesterday it seems impossible to believe

01:43:35.960 but in 2010 the border wall was a 50 50 issue among democrats whether they not because they wanted

01:43:43.060 more security if they wanted to build a physical wall to stop illegal immigrants coming in from mexico

01:43:48.920 this was a split issue among democrats now it's 89 to 8 opposed i mean it that is a way of of of

01:43:58.920 assigning your decision making process to somebody else you're sitting back and you're like oh well i

01:44:05.080 don't know what does trump think about it oh he likes it i hate it that's crazy that's letting trump run

01:44:09.640 your life the same thing with the media if you say the media praises something and you hate it just

01:44:13.920 because the media hates it that's letting them run your life oh do you remember how much they loved

01:44:17.940 the obama line uh the 80s called and they want their policy back oh my gosh i mean you'd never hear

01:44:25.020 them mock that now no yeah not anymore that's a great point i mean they took they said and the reason

01:44:30.520 for that was they're basically our allies we have islamic extremists who are real enemies which of

01:44:36.520 course was another example right because barack obama was saying they are our enemies not russia

01:44:42.400 so the media aligns with that but back when bush was saying it's islamic extremism they gave every

01:44:48.080 excuse to say it wasn't i mean it really that is you are assigning your life to someone else to

01:44:55.180 control you're just a puppet you're just doing the reverse of something instead of doing the exact

01:44:59.900 same thing they're requesting it's embarrassing it really is actually the the first border uh big

01:45:04.940 border push was operation gatekeeper and that was back in the 90s under uh under bill clinton that was

01:45:10.480 the first one that was a big border wall that was built down in the san diego era and and you could

01:45:15.180 go back to roosevelt i mean you could go back there's been people who wanted to control the border

01:45:18.820 there's i mean this was a massive um issue for democrats because of the unions back in the day

01:45:24.880 the unions did not like all the cheap labor coming in they they were not fans of that this is before

01:45:29.100 they were like oh i want the voters that are going to come in and hopefully become citizens one day

01:45:32.880 they wanted to stop people crossing the border uh to lower wages and take jobs from union people

01:45:39.380 because they could undercut the wages so easily and that was a big priority for democrats for a long

01:45:44.660 freaking time and unions and even unions now have backed off from that because you know the political

01:45:50.300 reality is you have to say illegal immigration there's no big problem with it if you're a democrat

01:45:54.940 that's an amazing way we like these things do not happen because of ideology they don't happen

01:45:59.700 because of logic they happen because of political pressures and because of power yeah power nonsense

01:46:05.520 yep they're just looking to increase their power base and that's what they i think that's what they

01:46:10.060 base all of their uh border uh thought process on now are they is this going to result in more votes

01:46:18.260 for me down the road uh they don't care about security for the country at all they don't even worry

01:46:23.060 about it i how long do you think i don't know if you guys talked about this earlier but how long

01:46:26.400 do you think this shutdown is going do you think that who do you think will cave on this do you

01:46:30.120 think trump caves first do you think the democrats will i laid this out a little bit earlier um but

01:46:35.060 my belief is there's no advantage for the democrats to cave on it the it's trump's shutdown he said it

01:46:41.920 was his shutdown he he said i'll take all the heat for it and they look at this as the uglier this

01:46:48.420 gets the more we can put on trump yeah and so they may cave for something big if you know there's

01:46:54.960 already saying like they're saying daca now is back on the table to give them daca which is a huge thing

01:47:00.560 it's it's a priority for 20 you know 20 years to try to get these quote-unquote dreamers it's a great

01:47:05.300 strategy though for democrats especially in 2020 because if their big issue is the people that flipped

01:47:09.640 uh from hillary to trump uh and even some people are just like kind of on the fence about it maybe they

01:47:14.540 don't like his you know his rhetoric they agree with his policies but his rhetoric is enough to

01:47:18.160 make them vote for somebody else um but if the wall is the biggest issue you know i mean it was like i

01:47:23.760 don't if the immigration uh situation happened i don't think that he's even president today i i really

01:47:28.880 don't i mean that was that was his crowning achievement his his main torch bearing issue in

01:47:34.080 the very beginning um so how much of his base is going to vacate if he loses this i would say a lot

01:47:40.680 right i don't know i don't know i don't know i think they thought that in the beginning that yeah

01:47:44.440 if he changes on immigration because that was the big issue i i think that's changed now i i don't

01:47:49.600 know that there's anything i don't know if there is anything we did a show remember this pat we did

01:47:54.080 show calls from people who are big trump supporters saying what's the one thing that will change your

01:47:59.020 mind and overwhelmingly it was the wall the only only thing that would change our mind is the wall

01:48:03.180 and and now it's gone from a full border wall down to a thousand miles of border wall

01:48:09.180 down to 500 miles of border wall down to it's not really a wall it's a fence down to it's some

01:48:14.300 fence some technology and other things where we're making some repairs and we're making repairs

01:48:19.660 we're paying for it with a new trade deal that's not even enforced lindsey grammon as far as to call

01:48:26.180 it a metaphor not really an actual physical thing right so i mean i i don't know i i think you know

01:48:32.040 well if he if he were to i mean he did get heat though for abandoning this when he when it was

01:48:37.020 reported yeah he came on fox news yeah which was great fox news rush limbaugh like a lot of his big

01:48:42.240 supporters were like you know look what are you doing here i mean he and let's not sell that

01:48:46.040 lightly he he was backing down from the wall sarah sarah sanders said look we'd rather have the

01:48:51.740 government uh you know open than you know that you know then then risk this so he backed down and

01:48:57.160 then everybody in mass just went after him like crazy he flip-flopped back over so he's got to be

01:49:02.900 scared about that his pollers are definitely scared about that because i'm sure they're the ones that

01:49:06.360 convinced him to you know reverse course yeah and i think i do think though the democrats think

01:49:11.160 i'm not saying they're right because they miss on this stuff all the time but i think they think

01:49:14.840 they're in a good position here because one trump has already said it's his shutdown and it's about

01:49:19.740 the wall two uh if it gets uglier they're going to be able to heap more blame on him and they can

01:49:25.420 try to get either a giant thing that they want like a daca or uh they can just wait it out and wait for

01:49:31.640 him to fold because you know the other thing about the border is it's very it's popular among

01:49:36.600 talk radio listeners it's popular among republicans in general it's uh it polls at 76 to 19 among

01:49:42.360 republicans right so it's a very popular proposal currently though it's 89 to 8 among democrats against

01:49:48.280 it and it's post 62 34 among republic uh independence so overall polling is 60 to 37 opposed to building a

01:49:57.200 wall right now wow now a lot of that's because trump isn't a particularly popular president

01:50:01.740 overall in the country like he's he's popular among his base but that's about it so part of that as we

01:50:07.660 talked about with the democrats moving so far on that issue from 50 50 basically to 89 to 8 part of

01:50:12.760 that's trump related but it's not a it's not a an issue that the majority of the country is particularly

01:50:20.300 passionate about getting done they actually oppose it the funny thing about this is there's no fiscal

01:50:25.220 conservatives left in the gop pretty much uh i mean the summer in the freedom caucus i guess

01:50:30.780 there's a few they're not very loud at least um so you actually what's funny is you actually have

01:50:36.160 some republicans that are against this because they don't care about spending money and all the

01:50:39.360 democrats have never cared about spending billions and this is five billion dollars that's nothing to

01:50:43.640 them you know like screw it you know like five billion it's true you know except now they're acting

01:50:48.000 like oh my gosh no we can't set the budget on fire like that five billion that's wasteful spending i was

01:50:54.300 like shut up he wouldn't say that on anything else that you would want to build yeah well and that's

01:50:59.720 a great point and and what they're trying to do is use this though to pressure those vulnerable

01:51:04.660 republicans in the senate cory gardner is the big example now first of all cory gardner banned birth

01:51:08.680 control and that must have been expensive it was very expensive to do um but he you know he's

01:51:12.740 already come out and said he did yeah so he's already come out and said we got to open the government

01:51:16.980 we can't do this should you try the gas station come on memorized yeah that's so good that's a

01:51:23.700 great ad but they're already pressuring people like that who are up for re-election soon and in

01:51:27.400 purplish states you know it's going to be it's going to be an interesting road um all right jason's

01:51:31.400 going to join us on news and why it matters uh later on today it's uh pat and stew here for glenn

01:51:35.700 on the glenbeck program so who's gonna pat and stew by the way for glenn uh who returns on monday

01:51:44.220 who's gonna cave on this uh border thing i could tell you that the democrats think they're in a

01:51:48.100 winning position and here's evidence of it they are currently talking about giving daca the you

01:51:53.020 know dreamers making them legal um in exchange for five billion dollars of border wall funding

01:51:58.800 that's what trump is requesting and the democrats are saying no to that deal they're saying no to

01:52:02.760 that deal one year ago one year ago the democrats offered full border wall funding for that same

01:52:10.360 program for daca for daca so i mean now it's down to what a quarter of the wall and the democrats are

01:52:18.140 the ones saying no to it that's how far this has come in the last year uh so they may be wrong but

01:52:24.360 they think they're in the winning position which makes me think they're gonna stick this out as long

01:52:27.540 as as long as they can all right glenn's back on monday talk to you then you're listening to glenn

01:52:38.420 back
