The Glenn Beck Program - 'Sit Down and Take It？' - 4⧸27⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:09.420 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:16.680 It's 1989. A crowd has gathered around a mystic who claims she can see the future.

00:00:23.400 The crowd is silent. All you can hear is the plastic rattle of the woman's bracelets and beads as she gyrates her hands around a crystal ball.

00:00:34.620 In a feather boa headdress, she concentrates her attention, face contorting, her eyes closed.

00:00:41.040 Focus, she says.

00:00:44.400 Heel-clicking slippers that came with an Aladdin costume.

00:00:47.860 The bulbous-necked lady scatters some glittery dirt around the ancient table. 1.00

00:00:53.400 Stopping halfway to pull another handful out of a purple satiny crown royal satchel with a gold-painted drawstring.

00:01:01.840 Suddenly, she gasps.

00:01:04.660 I... I see a spirit.

00:01:09.060 The crowd, even quieter now.

00:01:12.500 He's talking to me.

00:01:14.280 You have come from the future with startling news?

00:01:24.160 Concentrate, focus.

00:01:26.280 O.J. Simpson.

00:01:28.980 He'll become a murderer.

00:01:32.220 Bruce Jenner will become the world's first conservative feminist.

00:01:37.760 Michael Jackson, he'll turn into a frail white woman who wanders a circus-like home with chimpanzees and Macaulay Culkin. 0.94

00:01:50.860 And I see... I see... I see pudding.

00:01:54.580 I see pudding pops.

00:01:56.060 I... I see prison bars.

00:01:58.680 Bill Cosby, he will go to prison.

00:02:04.120 The room immediately bursts into laughter.

00:02:07.300 Too unbelievable.

00:02:09.240 Bill Cosby in prison.

00:02:12.320 America's father.

00:02:14.360 Intelligent.

00:02:15.620 Funny.

00:02:18.820 He's trustworthy.

00:02:20.720 He's America's dad.

00:02:22.000 He warmly invited us into his home, and we invited him into ours.

00:02:29.140 He's an inspiration to everyone, but especially young black children who were able to see a version of themselves that had never existed on TV.

00:02:37.520 The Huxtable family was an emblem of achievement.

00:02:42.080 Teachers followed and showed Fat Albert and the Cosby kids in class.

00:02:47.000 Ridiculous.

00:02:47.720 I'm telling you, the spirits are telling me.

00:02:52.000 Apparently, for years, it was another open secret in Hollywood.

00:02:59.780 What a surprise that Cosby had a darker side.

00:03:04.220 But strangely, Cosby's downfall began at a comedy show with a joke.

00:03:11.580 Google Bill Cosby.

00:03:13.320 Rapist, he told the audience.

00:03:15.600 There's more results than Hannibal.

00:03:19.260 You know the rest.

00:03:22.000 Women stepped forward in droves. 1.00

00:03:24.560 Fifty-eight of them.

00:03:27.080 Their stories were horrifying and hard to believe.

00:03:33.620 The allegations spread across decades, but he denied them.

00:03:38.120 But they kept mounting.

00:03:40.460 Some of them were all too old to take to court, but a handful were not.

00:03:44.900 And as Cosby dodged his lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, the Cosby accusations sparked a social movement that continued to capsize every industry.

00:03:55.280 And yesterday, Bill Cosby, when I see it, went to prison.

00:04:06.020 Frail and slumping.

00:04:08.400 Now 80 years old, he gripped whomever was beside him as he walked into his room.

00:04:14.340 He faced three counts of aggravated, indecent assault for drugging and sexually assaulting.

00:04:22.080 Andrea Constand in 2004.

00:04:24.960 Cosby faces 10 years now, but will remain on bail until sentencing.

00:04:30.760 Guilty!

00:04:31.120 His downfall became official yesterday.

00:04:36.580 Then, as if that weren't enough disgrace, Cosby got nasty.

00:04:41.000 He's always prided himself as the stand-up comedian who doesn't curse.

00:04:45.000 He urged kids to speak well and be respectable.

00:04:47.580 When District Attorney Kevin Steele asked the judge to revoke the $1 million bail, calling him a flight risk,

00:04:54.840 he stood up in court and he says,

00:04:56.580 He doesn't have a private plane, you a-hole! 1.00

00:05:01.520 And apparently the way his face looked, full of nasty rage, was startling.

00:05:08.240 How is this the same man who made funny faces when kids said the darndest things?

00:05:14.040 How is this the same man that we watched?

00:05:18.940 How is this the same man that had been given enough honorary degrees to fill a museum?

00:05:23.540 How is this the guy that made the jazz album?

00:05:26.880 A man so wholesome that he could make all of us feel good about eating pudding.

00:05:33.360 Well, actually, that probably wasn't that hard.

00:05:38.080 But that man is gone now.

00:05:40.540 The spirits tell me it was only a character, a disguise for a gullyful monster.

00:05:59.440 It's Friday, April 27th.

00:06:01.720 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:05.120 Do you remember when I used to say you won't recognize your country?

00:06:09.020 I didn't think Bill Cosby was part of that, but apparently now so is Tom Brokaw.

00:06:19.360 What is happening?

00:06:24.380 Yesterday, let's say hello to Stu.

00:06:26.440 Hello, Stu, our executive producer.

00:06:28.660 Yesterday, the news came out about Bill Cosby going to jail.

00:06:36.420 And one of the reporters asked, how much does the Me Too movement play a role in the verdict?

00:06:46.760 Stu?

00:06:47.340 Yeah, this is a disturbing, interesting question.

00:06:51.180 Because I think we all understand, first of all, if Bill Cosby is guilty of these things, it's great that he's in prison.

00:06:56.640 We're very happy about that.

00:06:59.640 It's interesting that his, you know, sort of prosecution here was made sort of as a campaign promise.

00:07:05.700 I will go after Bill Cosby if elected.

00:07:08.080 And now he has.

00:07:09.560 You know, now he's gone after him.

00:07:10.900 And now here we go.

00:07:13.040 Bill Cosby is going to prison.

00:07:14.700 And I think he did.

00:07:16.080 My guess is, right?

00:07:17.260 Like, and we don't know.

00:07:18.200 But my guess is he did do these things.

00:07:20.100 What I thought interesting about that question, though, in particular, because it was asked all over the place, what impact did the Me Too movement have on this verdict?

00:07:28.620 They already tried this case and there was a mistrial.

00:07:31.220 They went back to the court and got multiple additional witnesses.

00:07:35.620 So initially, obviously, typically, they're thinking, well, this is about this case.

00:07:40.700 This guy with this woman.

00:07:42.480 Why do we want additional accusers?

00:07:44.300 Last time they let one additional accuser testify.

00:07:47.080 This time I think it was five.

00:07:48.420 So they got extra accusers in there.

00:07:50.640 And now they got the verdict that they wanted.

00:07:53.980 But one of them is is one of them now being pursued for for perjury.

00:08:01.080 I can find this.

00:08:02.260 Yeah.

00:08:02.940 Steele also raised the possibility that Marguerite Margo Jackson, the defense's star witness.

00:08:10.540 Oh, maybe investigated for perjury after the prosecution strongly implied her statement had been created and coached out of her by defense counsel.

00:08:20.100 So it's it's actually somebody on his side.

00:08:22.560 The issue here, though, is the Me Too movement is an interesting part of this because that was the talk afterwards, the analysis.

00:08:31.580 What did the Me Too movement have to do before this last trial?

00:08:34.300 They didn't get this verdict.

00:08:35.200 Then the Me Too movement happens and then they get the verdict.

00:08:37.700 Well, that should have absolutely nothing to do with this trial.

00:08:41.940 Nothing.

00:08:42.860 This is a trial is about whether one person did something to someone else.

00:08:47.780 It's not about whether guys in general are bad.

00:08:50.680 It's not about whether Harvey Weinstein did a bunch of terrible things to people.

00:08:54.960 It's about Bill Cosby.

00:08:56.260 Now, look, looking at the evidence, I think it's probably right that he's going to prison for this.

00:09:01.700 It certainly seems like there's an incredible amount of evidence.

00:09:04.360 But the idea that attitudes generally change in society should have no effect on a man's innocence or guilt.

00:09:12.340 The it is a supposed to be a really cold transaction.

00:09:17.620 Right.

00:09:18.220 You go to court and there is a very sober look at facts.

00:09:22.620 And then afterwards, you come up with a verdict of whether one person, Bill Cosby, did this terrible thing to one other person.

00:09:30.600 Not whether, you know, Louis C.K. did something and whether, you know, name the actor or actress you want to, actor or producer you want to put into this.

00:09:41.140 The bottom line is like, if that is true, that that had an effect on this trial, he didn't get justice.

00:09:48.200 I think he probably did do it.

00:09:49.980 But again, you don't try these things in the court of public opinion.

00:09:53.320 It's supposed to be a cold, sober transaction.

00:09:55.960 I'm worried about whether it was or not.

00:09:58.860 So here is here's the next piece of news.

00:10:01.800 Tom Brokaw, apparently an NBC correspondent says that Tom Brokaw made unwanted advances toward toward her two decades ago, groping and trying to forcibly kiss her.

00:10:17.460 Linda Vester, who covered the Middle East and Africa for NBC, later joined Fox News, was in her 20s.

00:10:23.840 The time that she says Brokaw made the advances.

00:10:26.520 He's now 78.

00:10:29.080 He said, I met with Linda Vester on two occasions, both at her request 23 years ago, because she wanted advice with respect to her career at NBC.

00:10:36.180 The meetings were brief, cordial, and appropriate.

00:10:38.960 And despite Linda's allegations, I made no romantic overtures toward her at that time or any other.

00:10:44.660 She said, while I was standing there in the Denver bureau with my back to the door from behind me out of nowhere, Tom Brokaw walked up, put his hands on my waist and tickled me up and down my waist.

00:10:58.700 It was physically unpleasant and humiliating.

00:11:02.680 I jumped a foot and looked at the editor of the nightly news in the eye.

00:11:06.280 He looked back and his jaw had dropped.

00:11:09.800 No one did a thing.

00:11:11.180 There was nothing I could do or say because I was so low on the totem pole.

00:11:15.960 Okay.

00:11:18.120 Inappropriate.

00:11:19.260 Absolutely inappropriate.

00:11:20.780 But he tickled you in front of people.

00:11:28.980 Is that worth?

00:11:32.380 Is that part of the me too thing?

00:11:35.140 Public tickling?

00:11:37.000 Yes.

00:11:38.340 I hadn't heard that before, but I mean, you know, you're right.

00:11:42.260 It's an inappropriate touch if it happened.

00:11:44.640 He says it didn't happen.

00:11:47.120 And of course, how would anyone know?

00:11:49.680 Okay.

00:11:49.880 There's more, there's more, but I just want to take this piece by piece.

00:11:54.100 I barely knew him.

00:11:55.520 I didn't work for his broadcast, but when the most powerful man of the network sends you a computer message, you answer him.

00:12:02.080 According to Variety, she's speaking out because she believes her story sheds light on the culture of NBC news.

00:12:11.480 Well, wait a minute.

00:12:12.300 What?

00:12:12.520 What?

00:12:12.800 Wait a minute.

00:12:13.440 Wait a minute.

00:12:13.980 What?

00:12:15.440 I felt trapped.

00:12:16.580 It was in.

00:12:17.600 Okay.

00:12:18.040 She described another incident in New York when Brokaw insisted on visiting her in her hotel room and then twice tried to kiss her.

00:12:26.200 Okay.

00:12:29.520 Well, that's, that's again, uh, inappropriate, uh, you know, trying to kiss in the hotel room, uh, you know, unwanted, not, not a good idea.

00:12:39.720 Uh, no, um, I would, I would, I would agree again, if she felt that way and we weren't there, we have no idea taking just though on those, on the, on the accusations, or at least that you've just outlined.

00:12:52.620 They seem obviously probably not a good idea, especially for someone who's powerful at a network to do something like that.

00:12:58.480 Um, but again, if you know, there had a kiss has to have a consent, right?

00:13:05.280 Like that, that, that consent is almost always implied and not verbal, right?

00:13:12.240 Very rarely in your life.

00:13:13.700 Do you say, excuse me, madam, might I kiss you? 1.00

00:13:17.760 And that person says, of course you may.

00:13:20.280 Like, that's not typically how humans interact, right?

00:13:23.240 Well, I, I, I did.

00:13:25.220 Oh, you did.

00:13:25.920 That's all, all of your, that's no, seriously.

00:13:28.820 I, I, I think I, I, I don't know if this is entirely true, but I tried to ask, uh, you know, anybody I've kissed before.

00:13:38.880 I think I always have asked the first time.

00:13:41.400 Well, you're a loser.

00:13:42.480 Um, and so I, uh, no, I know it's, and I'm not very effective.

00:13:46.020 I have no game.

00:13:47.420 No, you have no game.

00:13:47.900 So I'm just, I'm just, you know, I, but I, there are moments, I guess you, where you could do, I mean, I probably did it at some point.

00:13:55.040 Um, but again, like typically, you know, right?

00:13:58.120 The point is, you know, that's why I ask, because I never know.

00:14:01.960 I have no game.

00:14:03.080 I ask.

00:14:03.860 You're getting hung up on your ineptitude.

00:14:06.140 That's not part of this conversation at the moment.

00:14:07.980 All right.

00:14:08.520 Okay.

00:14:09.000 You're all hung up on how pathetic you are.

00:14:10.780 We got it.

00:14:11.440 We all know.

00:14:12.620 We're all been here many, many years listening to the show.

00:14:15.640 We're all interacting with you.

00:14:17.180 Yes.

00:14:17.400 We know you're bad.

00:14:18.320 You're awful.

00:14:18.860 We got it.

00:14:19.540 All of a sudden.

00:14:24.500 Excuse me.

00:14:26.180 I'd like more, please.

00:14:28.120 Have you ever taken your car in for an oil change?

00:14:33.180 The mechanic finds something wrong and surprise, you're hitting, you're hit with a repair bill that you didn't expect.

00:14:40.060 It's happened to all of us.

00:14:41.360 It happened to me recently with one of my trucks.

00:14:43.640 I brought it in and it was a $5,000 repair.

00:14:47.560 What?

00:14:48.000 I just, no, I just, no, can't you fix the one thing that I brought it in for?

00:14:52.700 I didn't, I didn't ask you to fix that.

00:14:54.580 Did I?

00:14:56.240 Well, uh, your car.

00:14:57.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:57.960 So it won't drive, but it wouldn't have cost me $5,000 either.

00:15:03.300 Luckily I had car shield.

00:15:04.860 You don't have to worry about those unexpected surprises if, uh, you have car shield.

00:15:10.080 If your car breaks down after the warranty expires, you'd be out of pocket for thousands to get it fixed.

00:15:16.260 And it's always horrifying.

00:15:18.600 Now I can stand at the counter and go, I have car shield.

00:15:23.600 Oh, okay.

00:15:26.060 Yeah.

00:15:26.440 Let me check.

00:15:27.300 Yep.

00:15:27.520 It's covered out of pocket.

00:15:29.720 Nothing replace your engine.

00:15:32.160 Uh, and it'll cost you thousands.

00:15:34.000 Even a sensor can cost over a thousand dollars.

00:15:36.840 There's nothing simple about today's cars and car shield makes the process of fixing your car.

00:15:43.920 Simple covered.

00:15:45.240 It's covered.

00:15:46.160 You're okay.

00:15:47.400 You can have your favorite mechanic do it or the dealership do it.

00:15:50.640 It's your choice.

00:15:51.240 They also provide 24 seven roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is being fixed for free.

00:15:56.920 So if your car has 5,000 to 150,000 miles, it doesn't mean you have to pay high repair bills.

00:16:02.240 Car shield administrators have paid out close to $2 billion and they're ready to help you.

00:16:06.740 So save yourself, uh, thousands in future car repairs.

00:16:10.680 Like I just did call 1-800-CAR-6100, 1-800-CAR-6100.

00:16:17.080 Mention the promo code Beck or visit carshield.com.

00:16:20.060 Use the promo code Beck, save 10%.

00:16:28.500 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:16:31.020 Glenn Beck.

00:16:44.860 Boy, there is so much to talk about here.

00:16:47.500 The migrant caravan, uh, is at our border now in Tijuana.

00:16:53.680 Not a surprise, uh, trying to get in, not to Texas, trying to get into California.

00:16:59.100 Why are you people in here?

00:17:03.220 I mean, from Los Angeles where it's beautiful and sunny all the time.

00:17:08.100 Um, so they're preparing for a mass crossing.

00:17:10.980 Could be this weekend.

00:17:12.600 That's fantastic news.

00:17:14.200 Can't wait to talk to Bill O'Reilly today.

00:17:16.200 Uh, because I want to talk to him about that.

00:17:18.080 Tom Brokaw.

00:17:18.660 Uh, also, uh, Joy Reid from MSNBC.

00:17:22.960 Have you, have you heard the latest now?

00:17:26.380 That they, they have, you know, her excuse was, I, I, okay, I said some bad things about

00:17:32.940 gay people.

00:17:33.640 Sure.

00:17:34.060 I mean, but it was a different time.

00:17:36.960 Oh, really?

00:17:38.700 And I didn't mean it.

00:17:40.900 I, uh, then some more stuff comes out.

00:17:44.500 And instead of just saying, yes, I told you I, I had that point of view or whatever.

00:17:49.240 She's now saying, well, somebody hacked onto my site.

00:17:53.720 No, no, because apparently the, uh, library of Congress in 2006 archived her website, I

00:18:04.000 think along with everybody else's and, uh, shows now that apparently these hackers were

00:18:10.280 so thorough that they not only hacked her site, you know, so they could release this

00:18:15.320 stuff now, but they also went back in time and hacked the copy in 2006 that the library

00:18:22.620 of Congress has.

00:18:24.120 Wow.

00:18:24.940 Yeah.

00:18:25.620 That's a problem.

00:18:26.860 Uh, cause now their claim rests on the fact that it was not hacked today when you could

00:18:31.440 at least understand in theory why someone would want to ruin her career because she's a kind 1.00

00:18:36.420 of known person on MSNBC.

00:18:38.300 Not really.

00:18:38.940 Not, and even that, not really.

00:18:40.680 I mean, the people at NBC are in surprise.

00:18:42.780 They're like, who's this Joy Reid?

00:18:44.240 Yeah.

00:18:44.960 And back then though, it's like she was fairly unknown, even locally.

00:18:49.880 And someone would have had to hack with similar things that she was actually writing and admitted

00:18:54.900 to, which is such a weird hack, right?

00:18:57.140 Like if you're going to hack someone, you're going to do something that they wouldn't normally

00:19:00.020 do.

00:19:00.380 You wouldn't just continue writing in the same style with the same stuff.

00:19:04.100 Right.

00:19:04.540 So, so they had, they had a tech expert they hired and they claim there was an FBI investigation

00:19:10.900 going on, on this hacking.

00:19:13.140 Um, and they picked six pictures that they said were, uh, altered.

00:19:19.300 So screenshots, they didn't even exist on the site.

00:19:21.920 Well, now people have gone back and found that they, those pictures, those excerpts did

00:19:28.320 exist on the site the whole time.

00:19:29.860 So they were wrong on that.

00:19:31.460 There was another part where some of the, the blog posts were tagged with things like,

00:19:36.440 uh, you know, uh, you know, gay issues or something.

00:19:39.940 And her claim was, well, I never did that.

00:19:42.020 I never tagged anything with gay issues.

00:19:44.000 And they looked back at it and it wasn't, it was a third party site that did that, um,

00:19:49.240 without their knowledge, had nothing to do with them.

00:19:51.160 But again, proves right.

00:19:53.120 That another site saw the post at the time and tagged it gay issues.

00:19:59.400 There was another, they found a comment about one of her posts on a different website at

00:20:05.680 that time.

00:20:06.380 These hackers are very thorough, very thorough.

00:20:08.640 They're very thorough, very thorough, very thorough.

00:20:12.260 All right.

00:20:13.520 Um, we have a really fascinating person, uh, who has quite the story to tell coming up next.

00:20:21.820 How would you feel if the government just came in and said, oh yeah, your house is mine.

00:20:26.380 Glenn, you got to leave.

00:20:27.840 Next.

00:20:41.800 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:44.320 You know, I'm, I'm very much, I'm very much focused right now on, uh, talking to people

00:20:51.040 who have actually witnessed firsthand history, real history.

00:20:55.460 I saw a, uh, a video clip on YouTube the other day of a man who witnessed, uh, the, uh, the

00:21:02.420 shooting of Abraham Lincoln.

00:21:04.280 And it was on an old show in the 1950s called I've got a secret.

00:21:07.720 And this old 90 year old guy, uh, stepped to the plate and he was five years old.

00:21:13.820 All he remembered was Booth jumping out of the presidential box and breaking his leg on

00:21:20.520 stage.

00:21:20.880 He remembered that.

00:21:22.380 And it was such a fascinating thing that, you know, wow.

00:21:26.560 Few years ago, I found the story of Tokyo Rose and how she was wronged and how all of

00:21:31.080 history is wrong, uh, wrong about her. 1.00

00:21:33.660 And, uh, I wish I would have talked to her cause she had just died. 0.94

00:21:37.840 Well, there's somebody else that has played a huge role in our country's history.

00:21:43.280 Not that she meant to, uh, her name is Suzette Kilo, the Kilo case.

00:21:49.280 She is the woman who bought a little house, painted it pink, was in love with it.

00:21:55.000 And the city came and said, yeah, we're going to take your house eminent domain because we're

00:22:00.160 going to give it to this giant corporation or we're going to build a hotel there and they'll 0.91

00:22:04.280 pay more tax money.

00:22:05.320 It's an amazingly true story of a small town paramedic that left a bad marriage, buys a

00:22:14.260 house, paints it pink, and then tries to stop it from being bulldozed by the city.

00:22:19.120 She loses that case, but she has changed history because she stood.

00:22:24.020 Suzette Kilo is with us now.

00:22:26.220 Uh, she's, um, her story is being told in the film, little pink house.

00:22:31.000 Also, um, uh, Courtney Moorhead Ballaker is with us.

00:22:35.000 She's the writer, director, and producer of the movie.

00:22:38.600 Welcome ladies.

00:22:40.060 Thank you for having us fun.

00:22:41.420 Yes.

00:22:41.640 Good morning.

00:22:42.100 Thank you.

00:22:43.160 You bet.

00:22:43.940 Suzette, I, since we, we reached out last week and, and I saw the movie and, uh, I thought,

00:22:50.800 I, I've got to, to talk to you.

00:22:53.140 You, you've done very few interviews I've, I've heard.

00:22:56.560 Um, but, uh, I've seen you speak.

00:22:59.680 My producers have seen you speak before.

00:23:01.940 Can you just tell the story a little bit on what it felt like to have somebody knock

00:23:07.500 at your door and say, we're going to take your house?

00:23:10.380 Well, I, I guess you could say it's, um, it's like your, your worst nightmare, right?

00:23:16.440 So, you know, here we are just living in this little neighborhood, myself and my neighbors.

00:23:20.940 And, uh, that's exactly what happened.

00:23:23.500 The, uh, the, the articles in the paper, of course, started first.

00:23:26.640 So, we were aware of what was going on.

00:23:29.100 And then, um, as time went on, real estate agents came forward, uh, whether they were

00:23:34.980 working independently or for, um, the London Development Corporation, you know, or both.

00:23:40.940 And, you know, saying that, you know, we'd like to buy your house and, um, you know, do

00:23:46.080 you want to sell it?

00:23:47.360 Sell.

00:23:47.740 And, and, and that's pretty much what, how it came, how it, how it happened.

00:23:51.760 And to say the first time is, you know, no, I'm not interested in selling it.

00:23:55.780 And the second time to come back and be confronted with, if you don't sell it, you're going to

00:24:00.020 lose it by eminently.

00:24:01.920 At that point, you had to have thought, cause I know I would have, you can't do that.

00:24:07.860 I'm not going to lose my house.

00:24:09.100 Get off, get off my lawn. 0.78

00:24:10.340 This is my house, not in America. 0.70

00:24:12.920 Is that the attitude you had?

00:24:14.900 Yeah.

00:24:15.220 And that's exactly right.

00:24:16.420 I, you know, what she was standing on the porch and what, when she came in and I asked

00:24:20.860 her a similar question as to the brooch and saying, you know, the value of something

00:24:24.840 that's your family heirloom.

00:24:26.520 And, and, you know, she, she got what I was talking about.

00:24:30.060 And, and then I told her, I said, don't come back.

00:24:32.240 Cause if you come back, I'll throw you off the porch.

00:24:34.400 And so, you know, I'll throw you out.

00:24:35.860 So don't come back again.

00:24:37.640 I'm not interested in selling my property.

00:24:40.480 And when you heard the Supreme court rule against you, what happened?

00:24:48.560 What was going through your mind?

00:24:51.760 Well, we, we, we, we, as a group knew that if they didn't rule in our favor that, you

00:25:02.260 know, we would have to leave, but we never in a million years ever thought it would happen.

00:25:07.300 And it was almost, you know, I, I describe it as like everything in the beginning, we

00:25:13.040 started as a little grassroots, um, um, you know, group saying, you know, you know, if

00:25:18.740 we, if we write this letter to the editor, perhaps all this will stop, or if we, I go

00:25:23.080 on this news program, we talk, it'll stop.

00:25:25.320 So, you know, every time that something happened that we did, the neighbor, I met myself and

00:25:29.520 my neighbors just, just prayed that the eminent domain would stop.

00:25:32.560 And when, and when IJ took the case, we said, okay, now this is going to stop it, but it

00:25:37.960 just continued with, with, with, you know, not going in our favor.

00:25:41.000 And, and, and again, when it went to the United States Supreme Court, we said, okay, now it's

00:25:46.240 going to stop.

00:25:46.760 Now it'll be safe.

00:25:48.140 But even then we weren't.

00:25:50.340 So, so Suzanne, when you, when it's all said and done, I remember, I mean, there were

00:25:56.260 a few, I think the year was 1995 that I started really questioning what, how are

00:26:02.480 your system even works.

00:26:03.600 When I saw, um, OJ Simpson, uh, go free, when I saw Timothy McVeigh blow up the federal

00:26:11.540 building the same year, I remember thinking, I don't know if I know my country.

00:26:17.080 How do you feel today?

00:26:19.500 Do you feel the same about the country as you did before?

00:26:24.760 Well, you know, we, we, we used to say it's the group that here, here we are in this

00:26:29.460 little neighborhood, we're minding our own business, we're going to work every day, we're

00:26:33.020 law-abiding citizens, we're paying our taxes, we maintain our property, and that's what

00:26:37.380 we said, how can they do this to us?

00:26:39.260 I often referred to, when I spoke to public officials, I often, often said that the wolves

00:26:44.160 are at our door, we're being threatened in our own arms.

00:26:46.880 And, um, so, so there's, and, and the way I, I often, uh, answer a question, a question

00:26:55.980 like this is, we're fortunate, we live in a country where we could fight, but we're, it's

00:27:01.140 unbelievable that we were pushed to have to fight, I guess.

00:27:05.840 Yeah.

00:27:06.040 Um, and the fact that nobody has built anything on your property, and it's still sitting now

00:27:15.120 empty and unattended with zero tax dollars going into the city, how's that make you feel?

00:27:20.920 Well, you know, really, that's our just desert, that's our just desert, you know, we're, that's

00:27:25.280 our victory, as, as the neighbors in the, in that neighborhood, as the people that were

00:27:29.620 there, that's our victory, that nothing came there.

00:27:32.720 And, you know what I mean, in the sense of, look what you did, and you did it all for

00:27:36.520 nothing, and, you know, it's, and that's, and that's, for us, it's our just desert, it

00:27:40.260 is empty.

00:27:41.720 Um.

00:27:43.120 Uh, Courtney, you're the, the writer, the producer, and the director of this film.

00:27:47.060 By the way, great job.

00:27:48.660 I thought you told the story really, really well, uh, and it was, it was really well done.

00:27:53.320 Thank you.

00:27:53.780 When, when you, when you saw this story, what made you think, oh, I, I have to tell this

00:28:00.420 story, and this is going to be something people are going to want to go see.

00:28:03.340 Mm-hmm.

00:28:04.100 Well, uh, two reasons, really.

00:28:05.980 First of all, I was completely outraged when I read the book, A Little Pink House, written

00:28:10.420 by Jeff Benedict.

00:28:11.420 It's a fantastic book that documented the entire ordeal.

00:28:16.600 It was a 10-year, uh, you know, time span for Suzette and her neighbors from when she

00:28:25.200 bought her house, fixed it up, painted it pink, to the time when the Supreme Court decision

00:28:30.180 came out.

00:28:30.680 I, I could not believe that something like this happened, that something like this was

00:28:35.300 considered legal by the United States Supreme Court.

00:28:38.120 And the other reason I had to make the film was because I was blown away by Suzette's stance, 1.00

00:28:45.240 her, her principled position to say, no, you can't do this.

00:28:49.500 This is not right.

00:28:51.020 Suzette didn't want to be the, the public face of this issue. 0.99

00:28:54.820 She didn't want to, uh, you know, be a crusader.

00:28:58.180 She, she did this completely outside of her comfort zone.

00:29:00.860 And I was really inspired by her resistance and her integrity.

00:29:05.140 And, and I felt like America needed to see what happened in this town, not only to, to

00:29:12.200 show how horrible cronyism is, but that it still happens all over the country.

00:29:17.620 And we want to use the film to bring awareness to that and hopefully bring an end to it.

00:29:23.140 Was there any artistic license taken, uh, Suzette, with your story?

00:29:27.760 I mean, I, you had to have been, um, I mean, boy, you had some rough years.

00:29:33.880 You leave a bad marriage, um, you find a house, you fix it up.

00:29:38.620 It's great.

00:29:39.620 You fall in love.

00:29:40.920 You fall in love with a decent guy who, who, you know, you eventually marry, but he is,

00:29:48.240 um, debilitated halfway through this fight.

00:29:51.960 I mean, I don't know what kept you going.

00:29:54.600 Is, is all of that true?

00:29:56.460 Oh, yeah.

00:29:57.300 Yeah.

00:29:58.340 Every, every minute of it is true.

00:30:00.660 Absolutely.

00:30:02.660 So what kept you going?

00:30:05.640 Perseverance.

00:30:06.140 I, you know, I'm just, I don't know.

00:30:08.660 I don't know what kept me going.

00:30:09.680 Just because it was the right thing to do for the fight for the fort where we were.

00:30:14.540 I mean, that was, you know, was the, was the right thing to do.

00:30:17.420 And, um, just, you know, I, perseverance, I just kept plowing forward.

00:30:24.320 Courtney, I can't, uh, it's hard to believe a movie like this could get made because, you

00:30:29.380 know, we're, we, we see the way Hollywood kind of treats a lot of these stories and they,

00:30:33.000 they don't, they don't want to tell stories like this where the government is doing things

00:30:37.060 like this.

00:30:37.560 And, and these are real constitutional issues where you're teaching, you know, America

00:30:42.580 in a, in an, in an interesting and entertaining way, a really sad story about what can do if

00:30:48.420 government grows too large.

00:30:49.960 How, how did, how did this movie even get made?

00:30:53.100 Well, yeah.

00:30:54.140 I, you know, making any, uh, independent film is always, uh, an uphill battle.

00:30:58.460 Uh, my husband and producing partner, Ted Ballacher and I, we formed our own company,

00:31:03.700 Cortula Productions, and our motto is making important ideas entertaining.

00:31:07.700 And we set out to make movies that, you know, basically do just that, that entertain, but

00:31:14.320 inform and, and hopefully, uh, have, have an impact.

00:31:17.920 And, um, you know, we, we could have gone to studios and try to partner with them, but

00:31:23.860 it was very important to us to tell the truth and to make sure that the, the details of this

00:31:30.500 story were laid out very accurately.

00:31:33.120 This was not Pfizer knocking on doors, offering money to people to buy their homes.

00:31:39.260 It was the city that wanted to push Suzette and her neighbors off of their land so that 0.99

00:31:45.000 a developer could come in and build stuff that could benefit Pfizer.

00:31:49.000 And, you know, that, that, that, that's, that's an important detail.

00:31:53.080 It, I think, I think oftentimes, uh, Hollywood, you know, always wants to blame one entity.

00:31:59.980 This is a very complicated story.

00:32:02.260 It's a very complicated issue.

00:32:03.920 And it, as I mentioned earlier, it's about cronyism.

00:32:06.940 When, when government and big corporations, uh, team up, the little guy loses and often politicians

00:32:14.500 say, oh, we're, we're for the little guy.

00:32:16.460 And that's not the case when it comes to eminent domain abuse.

00:32:19.780 And so we wanted to make a film that accurately portrayed what happened in Suzette's neighborhood.

00:32:26.280 And we wanted to put a human face on it.

00:32:28.360 And it, it was a challenge, but so far we have, uh, felt a lot of success and a lot of,

00:32:36.340 and we've been embraced by, we, we sold out the, uh, the guard in new London, Connecticut.

00:32:42.260 That was our world premiere on, uh, the 16th, 1500 people showed up and bought tickets.

00:32:48.640 We had to turn people away.

00:32:51.040 Uh, they're having encore performance and we're in several cities throughout the nation.

00:32:55.440 And people can find out littlepinkhousemovie.com if, if we're playing in your city.

00:33:00.100 And if we're not, you can bring the film to your town.

00:33:03.160 And, you know, Glenn, we're finding that people are, this is really resonating with people

00:33:08.460 because everybody knows what home is, whether you own a home or rent a home, everybody knows

00:33:13.760 what that is and the importance of that.

00:33:16.360 And, uh, we're very hopeful that audiences will, will continue to connect with Suzette,

00:33:23.880 not only for what she did, but, um, for what she stands for.

00:33:28.780 And as you said, it's a historic Supreme court decision.

00:33:31.920 And it really, it really isn't millions of millions of homes.

00:33:36.580 You, you did a, you did a fantastic job on telling the story.

00:33:40.000 I think it's really good.

00:33:41.140 Thank you.

00:33:41.720 Uh, last one, Suzette, I, I grew up in Connecticut and spent many, uh, summer weekends at Ocean

00:33:45.980 Beach Park, right down the, uh, street from where you, where the story is told.

00:33:49.700 Uh, I'm curious is after all of this happened, did you decide to stay in the area?

00:33:54.580 Does it, does it seem frustrating?

00:33:56.440 Are you angry about it?

00:33:57.840 What happened after the story?

00:34:00.120 Well, um, myself and my neighbors, we all bought a home in, uh, other towns.

00:34:05.580 None of us, uh, stayed in New London.

00:34:07.260 And, um, it's heartbreaking to, um, see New London, uh, do what it does to itself, you

00:34:14.280 know, uh, with this eminence of Maine case.

00:34:16.980 And are we frustrated?

00:34:18.740 Yeah, I guess you could say we were definitely frustrated.

00:34:21.600 And, um, like you said, unfortunately we lost and we all had to, you know, um, you know,

00:34:28.220 we had to have the houses torn down.

00:34:30.940 Thank you so much for, uh, joining us.

00:34:33.040 The website, if you wanted to come to your town or to find out if it is in your town,

00:34:37.280 littlepinkhousemovie.com, well worth the time spent.

00:34:41.700 Thank you very much for being a part of the program today.

00:34:45.960 By the way, Connecticut continues to do the same thing, uh, and they are driving people

00:34:53.020 out of their state.

00:34:54.820 It's pretty amazing.

00:34:56.040 Big news, last two weeks, SimpliSafe won the Editor's Choice Awards from CNET Magazine,

00:35:04.200 PC Magazine, and Wirecutter, three respected product testers.

00:35:09.020 And they put SimpliSafe through a battery of tests.

00:35:11.540 They compared it to all the other home security products and SimpliSafe won every time.

00:35:17.480 I've been telling you about SimpliSafe for a long time now.

00:35:20.120 I think it's the best home security system money can buy, hands down.

00:35:23.860 And I've known the founders.

00:35:26.120 I know the people that work there.

00:35:28.080 They're good, decent people.

00:35:37.200 You won't notice them, but they notice the bad guys.

00:35:40.900 Unbelievably easy to use.

00:35:42.560 You control it from your phone if you want to.

00:35:44.660 And here's the most important reason.

00:35:46.840 It's comprehensive protection for all of your windows, your doors, and your entire home.

00:36:17.480 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:36:19.860 Glenn Beck.

00:36:34.620 Last night, I gave a speech for a celebration of Israel's 70th at the studio last night.

00:36:44.460 Rabbi Lappin spoke as well.

00:36:47.400 And he's going to be on with us.

00:36:48.620 He told a story about, do you know why Yemen and Sudan are named, where they got their names?

00:36:59.660 It's the most incredible story ever.

00:37:02.260 Wow.

00:37:03.060 I had absolutely no idea.

00:37:05.180 He's going to go on with us.

00:37:06.600 When you really understand history, everything just kind of snaps into place.

00:37:11.380 We'll talk to him coming up in an hour or so.

00:37:14.160 Bill O'Reilly is coming up next.

00:37:15.880 There is so much to go over with Bill O'Reilly from the border mess that is coming.

00:37:22.700 The caravan is going to happen this weekend on the border here in California.

00:37:27.200 We'll get his take on that.

00:37:28.960 The latest in Washington.

00:37:30.880 Also, Joy Reid, Tom Brokaw, Bill Cosby.

00:37:34.560 Wow, a lot to cover.

00:37:35.980 Bill O'Reilly next.

00:37:37.380 Glenn Beck.

00:37:39.180 Mercury.

00:37:49.100 Love.

00:37:50.300 Courage.

00:37:51.980 Truth.

00:37:53.760 Glenn Beck.

00:37:55.240 So what's the measure of human life?

00:37:58.840 You know, this should be a gimme.

00:38:00.040 This should be a no-brainer.

00:38:01.240 But with the way we become so desensitized to the sanctity of human life, does anyone even

00:38:06.940 know anymore what life means?

00:38:09.860 We used to find these things self-evident.

00:38:12.520 But since 2009, the United States is averaging 700,000 abortions per year.

00:38:18.580 We're only four months into this year, and we've already killed 298,000 babies.

00:38:23.460 Just this morning, over 700 abortions have been committed in the United States.

00:38:28.980 Now think about that number, and then try to answer that question, whether we even understand

00:38:34.420 the value of human life.

00:38:37.420 We should probably decide this pretty quickly, because we're seeing in the U.S.

00:38:41.780 Or, I'm sorry, in the U.K. with Alfie Evans, what we're seeing there is going to come here

00:38:46.840 and become our reality.

00:38:48.820 Democrats are poised to make big gains over the next two years, and they've already signaled

00:38:53.020 that single-payer health care is going to be their top-ticket item.

00:38:58.140 That's what the U.K. has.

00:39:00.160 And in the U.K., they're considered by progressives as the gold standard when it comes to single-payer

00:39:06.700 health systems.

00:39:08.080 America, you need to ask yourself right now, is that the kind of health care you want?

00:39:12.280 If you want to know what they want for all of us, all you have to do is look across to

00:39:17.980 England.

00:39:18.900 Look at what they're doing.

00:39:20.480 They're murdering today a small baby.

00:39:23.800 Alder Hay Hospital is not only denying Alfie medical care, Alfie Evans, his two-year-old kid,

00:39:30.140 but they won't even let his parents take him home to die, let alone just put him on a helicopter

00:39:37.100 that the Pope has provided and let him go to another country, Italy, to be able to be possibly

00:39:46.120 saved.

00:39:46.820 They're now saying that unless his parents have a, quote, sea-change in attitude, they're

00:39:52.980 not going to allow Alfie to go home.

00:39:54.860 Are you kidding me?

00:39:56.520 Their son is dying, the state is killing him, and they expect Alfie's parents to have a good

00:40:01.380 attitude?

00:40:02.740 Who the hell do you think you are?

00:40:06.620 Well, let me tell you who they are.

00:40:08.120 As it turns out, Alder Hay Hospital has a long history of treating their patients as little

00:40:14.740 more than cattle.

00:40:16.840 In 1998, a heart specialist at Alder Hay accidentally revealed during an inquiry that the hospital

00:40:23.080 was storing in bulk children's organs.

00:40:28.260 Now, these organs were being held without consent from the parents.

00:40:32.140 Alder Hay Hospital was harvesting the organs from dead children.

00:40:36.400 They were also caught selling human tissue to pharmaceutical companies in exchange for cash

00:40:42.120 donations.

00:40:43.520 Why?

00:40:44.740 Because universal health care doesn't work.

00:40:48.420 But what they didn't sell, they stockpiled.

00:40:52.200 Alder Hay had 2,080 children's hearts, over 800 other organs, 400 full fetuses.

00:41:01.700 A pathologist at Alder Hay was even accused of keeping the head of a baby in a jar.

00:41:07.280 And none of this was done with parental consent.

00:41:12.820 When the story came out finally in 2001, distraught parents begged for their baby's organs to be turned

00:41:18.340 over to them.

00:41:19.280 Many of them held a second funeral.

00:41:21.800 One woman had to bury her baby's heart, lungs, and esophagus. 1.00

00:41:25.080 You see, this is what you get when the state controls health care.

00:41:29.300 This is what you get when there's no higher authority.

00:41:31.620 This is what you get when you have to sit down and take it.

00:41:37.940 It's evil.

00:41:39.320 Your choice is being taken away from you.

00:41:41.520 How long does it take for the state to see its people not as human beings, but as a resource,

00:41:48.680 as livestock?

00:41:49.640 And this is what the progressives want for us here in the U.S.

00:41:54.360 Get ready, because the debate for single-payer health care is coming.

00:41:59.400 It's coming in the next 24 months.

00:42:01.600 And when that debate begins, you better believe they won't mention the story of Alder Hay Hospital

00:42:07.620 or Alfie Evans.

00:42:11.300 We're going to have to do it for them.

00:42:13.720 It's Friday, April 27th.

00:42:21.040 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:23.820 The one and the only Bill O'Reilly is joining us now.

00:42:26.980 Bill, any thoughts on this hospital and what's happening over in England?

00:42:33.080 You know, this isn't the first time that the British authorities have basically said

00:42:38.380 our posture is that if a child or an elderly person cannot survive, if we deem that to

00:42:48.060 be true, then we're not going to do anything to elongate the life.

00:42:53.640 That's what it's about.

00:42:55.040 And they're not going to deviate out of that.

00:42:56.700 The atrocity, though, is that, as you pointed out, the Vatican said, look, we'll care for the

00:43:02.040 child.

00:43:02.380 You know, we believe that life is sacred and there's a cycle of life, birth and death,

00:43:09.960 and that we'll take care of the child at our expense.

00:43:12.640 So why would the British authorities say, no, you can't do that?

00:43:16.880 That's when you get into real oppression.

00:43:20.040 But I want to address your remarks about America.

00:43:23.780 America, you know, we live in a climate now where there are a substantial number of American

00:43:30.820 citizens who simply reject any kind of debate or any kind of alternative view on abortion.

00:43:41.260 And they say, well, I know.

00:43:42.980 See, I know when life begins.

00:43:44.440 And it doesn't begin until this date.

00:43:47.100 I know.

00:43:48.140 And then you look at them and you go, how could you possibly know?

00:43:50.340 Nobody knows that.

00:43:51.340 All right.

00:43:52.360 And human DNA and all of the science says that life begins on conception and 95% of

00:43:58.380 the doctors in the United States will not perform abortions because of that. 0.95

00:44:02.580 Did you know that, Beck?

00:44:03.500 95% will not perform abortions.

00:44:06.920 I didn't know that.

00:44:08.080 I didn't know that.

00:44:09.120 95%, according to the AMA, of American doctors will not do the procedure.

00:44:14.880 So that's pretty strong evidence, I think.

00:44:17.400 But if you present the evidence, then you're misogynist.

00:44:21.580 You're against reproductive rights.

00:44:23.440 You hate women. 0.78

00:44:25.600 And the New York Times has taken the lead on this.

00:44:28.420 They're the lead media outlet that promotes abortion as a civil right.

00:44:35.280 Not an issue to be discussed.

00:44:38.240 Not an issue to be, as Bill Clinton once said, you know, rare.

00:44:41.860 We should be, everybody should be going together to make abortion rare.

00:44:46.900 She pointed out it's not rare.

00:44:48.520 In some circles, it's used as birth control.

00:44:51.560 I know a woman who had six abortions. 1.00

00:44:54.620 And she doesn't want to use birth control. 1.00

00:44:58.400 And when she gets pregnant, she just goes down and has an abortion that Planned Parenthood 1.00

00:45:02.380 sets up for her for free.

00:45:04.600 And so all of this stuff is in play.

00:45:07.000 It's all real.

00:45:08.240 And you've got to, you know, to get people's attention to talk about something this horrendous

00:45:12.740 is very difficult.

00:45:15.400 Because we live in an age of narcissism where people don't want to pay attention to that.

00:45:19.660 So, Bill, let me go back to Alfie Evans.

00:45:22.800 Because I don't know if you saw what the police have put out, but they issued a tweet that said,

00:45:31.600 I would like to make people aware that these posts are being monitored and remind social

00:45:36.280 media users that any offenses, including malicious communications and threatening behavior,

00:45:40.980 will be investigated where necessary and it will be acted upon.

00:45:45.780 That's not the only one that they put out yesterday.

00:45:48.800 They put out a few of these saying, we're watching your social media and we will come

00:45:57.080 after you.

00:45:58.760 This is getting more and more Big Brother-esque and controlling of the life.

00:46:06.580 And I wonder if it would happen.

00:46:07.960 Let me just jump in here and put it into some kind of perspective.

00:46:11.000 I don't disagree that the British authorities could not care less about the life cycle.

00:46:16.720 I mean, it's clear they don't.

00:46:18.260 It's a secular country.

00:46:19.760 They don't believe in religion over there.

00:46:21.780 I mean, their main religion is the Anglican faith founded by that great theologian, Henry

00:46:28.440 VIII.

00:46:29.760 Okay?

00:46:30.680 So, I don't want to be disparaging, but they don't care about religion.

00:46:34.620 But what the police did was, because of this hospital, the people running the hospital

00:46:41.260 are, now have been threatened, their lives have been threatened, and that's what this

00:46:46.640 is pretty much all about.

00:46:48.900 So, I would like to know what you would do, Bill O'Reilly, if you had baby, you know,

00:46:55.980 Alfie O'Reilly.

00:46:57.720 I would have gotten out of that system.

00:47:00.100 I have a friend, Graham Barker, who is a physician in Great Britain.

00:47:03.160 I lived there for a year.

00:47:04.760 And Barker is a private physician.

00:47:07.300 He doesn't take government subsidies of any kind.

00:47:11.100 But you've got to have money to pay him.

00:47:13.220 And these people don't.

00:47:15.080 So, they're...

00:47:15.540 But say that you're not Bill O'Reilly's, you know, wallet.

00:47:20.680 Right.

00:47:20.880 And you are his parents.

00:47:22.620 What would you do?

00:47:23.520 I would go to Italy.

00:47:24.460 I'd take a...

00:47:25.040 I went for a long time ago.

00:47:26.860 Because this is not the first time this has happened.

00:47:29.620 So, as soon as the diagnosis came down from the hospital that your baby's going to die

00:47:34.480 and we're not going to elongate the baby's life under any circumstances, the next day

00:47:39.520 I would have been on a plane or a train to Italy and to appeal to the Vatican.

00:47:44.240 Because the Vatican will help.

00:47:46.120 So, that's what I would have done.

00:47:49.320 Do you think people...

00:47:50.520 Do you think this is coming here?

00:47:52.100 And people will...

00:47:53.120 Well, I don't think it's coming here for constitutional reasons.

00:47:56.620 I don't think you're ever going to have euthanasia here.

00:47:59.100 I don't think you're ever going to have a system whereby the government prevents you

00:48:06.540 from going to Rome to save your baby or elongate the baby's life.

00:48:11.320 I don't think you'll ever have that because of constitutional issues.

00:48:13.660 Our Constitution is much stronger than Britain.

00:48:17.380 So, but what I think that there is going to be a struggle about, and it's a shame,

00:48:23.120 is this abortion business.

00:48:26.280 Because if you are pro-life, if your religion or your morality dictates that you believe

00:48:34.100 a baby is a human being on conception, now it's allowed that the other side can attack

00:48:42.260 you and demonize you and try to destroy you. 0.93

00:48:46.100 That's really the essence of this.

00:48:48.980 We live in a society, the Supreme Court has ruled Roe v. Wade that abortion is the law,

00:48:55.540 okay, but to attack people, to try to harm them because they hold it a poison point of

00:49:00.220 view, as the liberal media does, is disgraceful.

00:49:03.680 Back with Bill O'Reilly here in just a second.

00:49:07.240 Also, earlier this week, I talked to Dave Rubin about abortion.

00:49:10.580 He's a guy who used to describe himself as a progressive a year ago.

00:49:14.680 He started down this road, and he is still pro-choice.

00:49:18.420 But we had a fascinating conversation about he recognizes that he's being hypocritical in

00:49:26.840 some ways, and he kind of hinted that I know I'm going to be moving at some point.

00:49:35.240 More with Bill O'Reilly in just a second.

00:49:37.260 We have to cover the end of the Korean War, which, much to many people's surprise, is still

00:49:44.240 going on.

00:49:44.920 We'll have that coming up next.

00:49:48.300 All right, I want to tell you a little bit about FilterBuy, and thank you, FilterBuy,

00:49:51.860 for being one of our sponsors.

00:50:00.740 U.S. companies lose about $250 million a year due to employees just having allergies.

00:50:07.840 In Texas, it's awful.

00:50:09.160 We have to keep our filters clean at the studio because there's so much pollen in the air and

00:50:30.040 And the air filter, the leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses,

00:51:19.460 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:51:26.400 Glenn Beck.

00:51:35.320 We have so much to talk to Bill O'Reilly about before the end of the hour.

00:51:39.020 The end of the Korean War.

00:51:40.700 Bill Cosby, the migrant caravan that's on our border now.

00:51:44.900 Joy Reid, Ronnie Jackson, Tom Brokaw.

00:51:48.740 Just a lot to cover.

00:51:50.400 Bill, let's start with the end of the Korean War last night.

00:51:53.100 Yeah, the reason this happened, I just posted this on BillOReilly.com, message of the day, Beck,

00:52:00.240 which I know you eagerly read each morning to imbue yourself with wisdom.

00:52:06.460 Oh, my gosh, yes.

00:52:07.240 And you can explain to Stu what that means.

00:52:09.300 Anyway, here's what happened.

00:52:12.060 You ready for what really happened?

00:52:14.340 Yes.

00:52:14.700 So, the Chinese told the little rocket man, hey, you're bad for business, bud, and you're going to knock it off.

00:52:22.500 And if you don't knock it off, we're stopping the oil flow into your little kingdom there, 0.59

00:52:27.480 and everything will collapse, and you will be killed. 0.64

00:52:31.720 All right?

00:52:32.460 So that's what the Chinese said to the little rocket guy.

00:52:35.800 All right?

00:52:36.340 So he pulled up his short pants, and he said, I better do something here.

00:52:40.180 And it's not going my way.

00:52:43.020 Nobody's on my side.

00:52:44.600 So I'll get back in the spotlight by seeming to be reasonable.

00:52:49.300 First, I'll agree to meet with President Trump, which is like a big win for me,

00:52:54.340 because I'm no one, but he's the most famous person in the world now.

00:52:59.340 And secondly, I'll run across the militarized border and embrace my counterpart in South Korea

00:53:07.300 and say the Korean War is dead.

00:53:08.840 All of this is happening to fulfill the narcissism of little rocket guy.

00:53:14.840 But that's okay, because it's a benefit to the world if it all plays out.

00:53:21.220 And I think it will, because China has had enough.

00:53:23.560 They don't want the world economy roiled because of this little nut. 1.00

00:53:28.960 And that's what's happening.

00:53:30.900 So what does it mean, the end of the Korean War?

00:53:34.840 The Korean War was never really, there was never a treaty.

00:53:39.900 It was a stalemate, as you'll remember.

00:53:42.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:42.700 Killing the rising sun.

00:53:44.440 I mean, after World War II, the communist North and the capitalist South faced off,

00:53:52.180 and then they fought.

00:53:53.120 And America came into the war on the side of South Korea.

00:53:56.080 China came in on North Korea, but nobody won.

00:53:59.500 So they just stopped fighting.

00:54:01.220 No treaty.

00:54:02.340 So now it looks like little rocket guy is going to ask for a formal end to the war,

00:54:09.140 which is 65 years old now.

00:54:12.060 And that will be a good thing.

00:54:14.220 Is this like an end to the wall, or do you think that remains?

00:54:17.880 Yeah, it could be.

00:54:18.380 It could be the Berlin situation.

00:54:20.760 They could have.

00:54:21.600 But the problem for little rocket guy is, and why I don't think the wall will come down,

00:54:26.840 is because as soon as it comes down, everybody in North Korea will leave.

00:54:30.080 He'll be alone.

00:54:30.880 Yes.

00:54:31.640 All right?

00:54:31.960 They'll all go, yay, see you.

00:54:34.460 And South Korea doesn't want that, because then they'd have to feed them all. 0.81

00:54:38.960 China doesn't want that. 1.00

00:54:40.240 So it'll probably still remain the same, but the level of threat from North Korea will

00:54:48.260 drop, at least in the short term.

00:54:50.140 Bill, quick question here.

00:54:52.160 If you're going to use the nickname, shouldn't you use it with the Elton John song?

00:54:57.260 You're calling him Little Rocket Guy.

00:54:58.900 Yeah, I like that better than Rocket Man, because I don't consider this guy a man.

00:55:03.780 A real man doesn't murder people and doesn't starve his own population.

00:55:10.240 So Little Rocket Guy, I think, is just even more insulting.

00:55:15.180 All right, okay.

00:55:15.740 Part two, the second part of this is, if you have, are you concerned that everyone declares

00:55:23.140 peace in our time, we pull out our troops, everyone's out, both down their defenses, and

00:55:28.000 then North Korea can go into South Korea without any opposition?

00:55:31.720 Well, we're not going to pull our troops out, number one.

00:55:33.840 That'll never happen.

00:55:35.220 Because you just need them there strategically.

00:55:37.240 You need the air bases because of China. 0.94

00:55:39.360 So that's never going to happen.

00:55:42.220 And, you know, look, the guy, you know, he's crazy, could do anything.

00:55:47.580 But at this point, it's a big win for Trump.

00:55:50.320 Of course, that's why the liberal media is playing it down.

00:55:53.960 You're not going to see it.

00:55:55.080 But this will be a one-day story.

00:55:57.600 And then, look, the best thing that Kim Jong-un could have done, as I pointed out on BillOReilly.com,

00:56:04.160 is gone to South Korea with Stormy Daniels.

00:56:07.960 All right?

00:56:09.420 If he had done that...

00:56:11.920 They would have covered it.

00:56:12.820 Massive coverage everywhere.

00:56:15.080 Yes, yes, yes.

00:56:16.140 And Stormy would have done it.

00:56:16.800 It's really amazing.

00:56:18.140 It's really amazing.

00:56:19.320 Stormy would have done it.

00:56:20.080 How do you not recognize this as a Trump victory?

00:56:27.760 Well, they don't want...

00:56:29.100 You know, of course it's a Trump victory.

00:56:31.060 Because China knows that Trump is going to give them a hard time unless they cooperate on North Korea and the trade imbalance.

00:56:40.300 China knows that.

00:56:41.280 Obama couldn't care less.

00:56:43.980 They can do whatever they want when Obama's in Hawaii.

00:56:46.260 Trump's a different guy.

00:56:47.360 Isn't the reason, though, that we don't recognize it as a Trump victory,

00:56:50.080 is that it's not yet a victory, right?

00:56:51.660 It's a step in the right direction.

00:56:53.280 But you...

00:56:54.160 Stu, don't you want the story to be covered?

00:56:57.520 Oh, absolutely.

00:56:58.480 Yes, of course.

00:56:58.980 Okay?

00:56:59.240 I'm telling you, you go out now and you talk to the American public about,

00:57:02.820 hey, did you see what Kim Jong-un did today?

00:57:05.220 And they look at you like, what?

00:57:06.780 What?

00:57:07.380 What?

00:57:08.100 And then you said, he was with Stormy Daniels.

00:57:10.600 Really?

00:57:11.460 Really?

00:57:13.540 It's true.

00:57:14.760 You put Stormy in the middle of this.

00:57:16.500 Again, that's why Rodman...

00:57:17.780 That's the only time North Korea ever gets covered is when Rodman went over there.

00:57:20.540 If you throw Stormy in the middle of this...

00:57:21.900 Yeah, I mean, I think they threatened that he was going to go back,

00:57:23.600 and that was another reason why they were...

00:57:25.960 Oh, Bill.

00:57:31.000 Bill, Bill, Bill.

00:57:31.520 With that analysis, Beck, I think that's the best.

00:57:33.880 No, I think it's pretty good, Bill.

00:57:37.600 I think it's pretty good.

00:57:38.320 And I take a little bit of umbrage, if you will, with Stu here on,

00:57:44.520 it's not really a Trump victory because it's not done yet.

00:57:47.420 Yeah, it's not.

00:57:48.180 And I don't want to declare peace in our time.

00:57:49.980 I don't want to be Neville Chamberlain.

00:57:51.640 But it is movement that we have never seen before.

00:57:57.060 And you know if anyone else were president, we would not be seeing this movement.

00:58:01.720 Now, how it ends, I don't know.

00:58:03.760 But today, it's a victory.

00:58:05.580 Life is all about making the right decision in big moments.

00:58:17.740 When you have that huge thing going on in your life,

00:58:20.620 and you can go one of two paths, it's important to choose the right path.

00:58:24.320 Because it doesn't matter how many small choices you make

00:58:26.660 that are right in those other moments.

00:58:28.480 If you make the wrong choice at a big moment,

00:58:30.900 it's going to burn you for a long time.

00:58:32.820 I can give you a good example of this.

00:58:34.300 Real estate agents.

00:58:35.120 If you pick the wrong real estate agent,

00:58:37.320 and then you have to go through selling or buying a home,

00:58:40.100 it can be a mistake that haunts you for a really long time.

00:58:43.520 That's one of the reasons Glenn and his wife Tanya started realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:58:48.040 They were trying to sell their house.

00:58:49.860 They were frustrated with it.

00:58:50.800 And they thought there's just got to be a better way to get this done.

00:58:55.300 What they have come up with is a system to screen real estate agents

00:58:58.040 for people who share your values, listen to the show,

00:59:00.620 and have great marketing plans and know how to do this better than anyone.

00:59:04.360 They have 1,200 agents all across America.

00:59:06.640 You just put your location in there, and you get the best agent in your area.

00:59:09.800 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:59:11.700 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:59:21.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:23.440 So we have Bill O'Reilly on, and I would like to ask him,

00:59:26.000 no bloviating, bloviating word of the day, Bill.

00:59:30.900 Nope.

00:59:31.480 Okay.

00:59:32.260 We have a lot to go over.

00:59:35.280 Let's start with the migrant caravan that has now reunited in Tijuana,

00:59:42.320 and they're planning on crossing the border together this weekend

00:59:46.440 and come into the United States illegally.

00:59:50.860 Yeah, not going to happen.

00:59:51.880 Then Mexican police will stop it.

00:59:55.560 You don't think that America is going to have to get involved

00:59:59.840 in something like what's happening with the Palestinians?

01:00:02.600 No.

01:00:03.400 I think that the Mexican government, again, this is because of Trump,

01:00:07.580 is so scared of him.

01:00:09.780 Yeah.

01:00:10.340 And NAFTA is being renegotiated, as you know, right now.

01:00:14.420 So those people are, you know, they'll have brunch,

01:00:16.600 and then they'll go home.

01:00:18.000 Why wouldn't the Mexican government have stopped it beforehand?

01:00:21.800 I mean, if we knew that...

01:00:23.880 Well, they did.

01:00:24.280 They broke it up in central Mexico, and there's, you know,

01:00:26.460 a few diehards, but not that many.

01:00:28.760 But they did break it up after Trump said,

01:00:30.980 you better break it up or...

01:00:32.540 There are 600 of them.

01:00:34.200 Yeah.

01:00:34.480 I believe there's 600 of them.

01:00:36.000 I don't think so.

01:00:36.880 I don't think there's that many.

01:00:37.780 There may be 200 or whatever.

01:00:39.280 It's a stunt.

01:00:41.520 But the Mexican police are pretty tough,

01:00:43.760 and they're not going to let these people get to the border.

01:00:46.820 That's a big border crossing, by the way.

01:00:49.380 And I predict, I could be wrong,

01:00:51.980 that the demonstrators won't even get close to the border.

01:00:55.800 That would be great if that were true.

01:00:57.820 Let's go to Joy Reid.

01:00:59.680 Do you know Joy Reid?

01:01:01.000 I do not.

01:01:01.700 Never had the pleasure of meeting the woman.

01:01:03.840 Okay.

01:01:04.180 She first said that her website was hacked.

01:01:06.160 No, no.

01:01:06.400 She first said that she has made homophobic statements in the past.

01:01:10.880 Then she said that her website was hacked,

01:01:14.760 and the homophobic posts were fabricated.

01:01:18.460 Now we know, after some forensics,

01:01:21.120 that this would have had to be a really sophisticated hacker

01:01:25.240 that could have seen the future,

01:01:26.940 because the Library of Congress

01:01:29.300 went and archived all of the blogs at the time in 2006,

01:01:35.380 and these posts were on the blog at that time.

01:01:41.260 So unless they went back and fabricated them,

01:01:44.120 either broke into the National Archives as well,

01:01:47.000 or they fabricated it at the time,

01:01:50.040 hoping that she would become famous

01:01:51.680 and all of this would matter.

01:01:53.680 It looks like she wrote them.

01:01:55.700 Yeah, it looks like she wrote them.

01:01:56.760 So now we have a far-left person who doesn't like gays,

01:02:00.000 or at least didn't like them,

01:02:01.420 and that's what we have,

01:02:03.460 and that's, I think, the truth.

01:02:05.760 And so what should happen to her?

01:02:09.500 You know, NBC is probably going to just ease her out. 0.55

01:02:14.560 But that's usually what happens in these big organizations.

01:02:19.580 But I really can't predict what will happen

01:02:22.560 other than she's lost credibility among her core believers,

01:02:27.060 so that's not a good thing for her.

01:02:30.220 Okay, there's the breaking news stations.

01:02:33.180 Breaking news, Bill O'Reilly seems to claim

01:02:37.540 that Joy Reid has believers.

01:02:40.860 Oh, yeah, sure.

01:02:41.640 I didn't even know she made it on TV.

01:02:44.340 You know, that MSNBC cult,

01:02:46.380 they should move to Eastern Oregon,

01:02:47.960 where the Rajneesh guy was at one time.

01:02:50.120 They can live there all together.

01:02:51.900 That's what I would like to see.

01:02:53.640 NBC seems to be having trouble.

01:02:55.520 Talk to me about Tom Brokaw.

01:02:57.580 You know, I know Brokaw for a long time.

01:02:59.640 As I told you when I had to deal with this,

01:03:03.040 there are two things that are in stone.

01:03:05.860 Number one, you take each case on its own.

01:03:08.220 You do not generalize about anything.

01:03:10.640 Number two, nobody really knows what happened,

01:03:13.200 because nobody was there other than the principals

01:03:15.380 who lodge accusations and those who deny.

01:03:19.620 So when you keep that into perspective,

01:03:22.260 the other bit of wisdom that I gave you and Stu

01:03:25.640 was that every single prosperous man in this country

01:03:31.560 is at risk.

01:03:34.360 Not one man in America who's prosperous is not at risk.

01:03:40.620 Now, I don't know what happened with Tom Brokaw.

01:03:42.940 I hear rumors every day of 30 famous people

01:03:46.900 that are going to be accused of stuff,

01:03:50.820 misconduct.

01:03:52.100 All right?

01:03:52.640 I don't know.

01:03:53.540 I don't know what happened.

01:03:54.320 I always feel bad when lives are disrupted this way,

01:03:59.800 because it happened to me,

01:04:00.880 and I know how painful it is.

01:04:03.300 Bill Cosby.

01:04:04.860 He was found guilty yesterday.

01:04:07.200 I think justice was served.

01:04:09.100 I think he did it.

01:04:09.960 I think he's got a shot on appeal, though,

01:04:15.280 because the state, the prosecutor's office,

01:04:18.820 I mean, they did some pretty underhanded things,

01:04:21.340 but I think the jury's verdict is correct

01:04:23.920 from what I can see as a journalist covering it.

01:04:27.600 It doesn't seem there would be a significant line

01:04:29.320 between a lot of these accusations

01:04:30.560 and the Cosby situation.

01:04:32.120 And that Cosby's case goes to court.

01:04:34.400 There's an actual proceeding.

01:04:35.840 He's found guilty.

01:04:36.800 Secondly, you know, we've had a lot of accusations

01:04:39.920 about people, and there have been very few

01:04:43.180 of these supposedly illegal acts

01:04:45.740 that have actually been prosecuted,

01:04:47.300 including even Harvey Weinstein.

01:04:49.660 Yeah, well, again, I mean,

01:04:51.000 it's up to the authorities to bring these cases,

01:04:53.440 but I can tell you there's a big story

01:04:54.940 in New York City right now.

01:04:58.040 The city government had to deal

01:05:01.240 with 1,312 complaints of sexual harassment

01:05:05.500 from July 13 through 2017, 1,312.

01:05:12.480 221 were substantiated.

01:05:15.340 So this is a complicated situation, all right?

01:05:19.220 And it's a situation that is brutal

01:05:22.900 because women and men should not be abused

01:05:27.340 by anyone in power,

01:05:28.440 but there are also a lot of false accusations

01:05:32.600 in this world.

01:05:33.560 So let's talk about an accusation

01:05:36.220 that's not being covered, really.

01:05:38.600 The Clinton campaign effectively laundering

01:05:41.560 $84 million during the 2016 election.

01:05:45.400 The press is up in arms over, what, $130,000?

01:05:52.220 And has this violated campaign finance?

01:05:55.880 $130,000 to Stormy Daniels,

01:05:58.160 which I think, if it's true, it's a big deal

01:06:00.020 if it broke any laws.

01:06:01.760 But this is $84 million,

01:06:04.600 and they can't seem time to report on this.

01:06:07.740 You know, look,

01:06:08.840 the Clintons from day one

01:06:10.860 have gamed the system.

01:06:13.600 And I told you guys this.

01:06:14.660 I have a foundation,

01:06:15.640 a charitable foundation,

01:06:16.680 named after my parents.

01:06:18.000 And we, over the years,

01:06:19.180 have given away millions and millions of dollars.

01:06:21.400 I have never taken a cent from that foundation.

01:06:25.700 The New York Times,

01:06:26.900 trying to hang me,

01:06:28.500 investigated that foundation every which way.

01:06:31.700 And they found it was clean and beneficial.

01:06:33.580 Of course, they didn't print that.

01:06:35.520 All right?

01:06:36.120 But we knew they were investigating,

01:06:37.780 because my attorneys were giving them all the documents

01:06:40.300 they asked for.

01:06:40.940 They wanted to tie that into

01:06:42.400 that I was the worst person on Earth.

01:06:45.280 Now, Clinton Foundation

01:06:46.620 has raised hundreds of millions of dollars.

01:06:49.740 Hundreds of millions.

01:06:50.880 And that's provided the Clintons themselves

01:06:52.820 with money,

01:06:54.680 with private jets,

01:06:57.260 with writing off pretty much everything

01:06:59.500 they've ever done.

01:07:00.980 They game the system.

01:07:02.960 They game it.

01:07:04.320 And, you know, you're right.

01:07:05.620 Who cares about that?

01:07:07.420 Does Jeff Sessions care about that?

01:07:09.880 I don't think so.

01:07:11.400 I haven't seen anybody in the Justice Department

01:07:13.300 caring about it.

01:07:14.500 You know, if Trump hates Hillary so much,

01:07:16.320 why doesn't he get on it?

01:07:17.800 I don't know.

01:07:18.140 Right, but this isn't even the Clinton Foundation,

01:07:21.900 which I agree with you.

01:07:23.500 Boy, there is so much smoke there

01:07:25.380 that something's got to be on fire.

01:07:27.920 But this...

01:07:28.360 To give the folks,

01:07:29.060 to give your listeners,

01:07:30.480 that these people game the system.

01:07:33.620 Whitewater.

01:07:34.340 And it's not, you know,

01:07:35.300 they game it.

01:07:36.680 All right?

01:07:37.160 They look at it,

01:07:38.600 and they say,

01:07:39.120 how can we use the system

01:07:40.800 to enrich ourselves?

01:07:43.220 So, yeah,

01:07:44.640 it should be looked at.

01:07:46.360 But who's going to do it?

01:07:47.860 Is Jeff Sessions going to do it?

01:07:50.360 I don't think so,

01:07:51.920 but maybe I'm wrong.

01:07:54.000 Let's talk about Ronnie Jackson.

01:07:55.680 Ronnie Jackson was nominated

01:07:56.900 to be the head of the VA.

01:07:58.600 He was the president's doctor,

01:08:00.040 not the crazy doctor,

01:08:01.600 the doctor that looked over the president,

01:08:04.540 and the last president.

01:08:06.400 Both presidents have spoken highly of this man.

01:08:10.100 Yeah.

01:08:11.060 Obama was completely silent

01:08:13.600 as they eviscerated this man's credibility.

01:08:17.400 Yeah.

01:08:17.840 Thoughts?

01:08:18.300 You know,

01:08:19.120 that's his modus operandi.

01:08:20.780 He's not jumping in the fray.

01:08:22.840 Look,

01:08:23.420 anybody attached to Trump,

01:08:25.020 if Trump likes you,

01:08:26.120 then the media is going to try to destroy you.

01:08:28.180 I mean,

01:08:28.420 that's part of the Me Too movement as well.

01:08:31.500 If you're on the side of Trump

01:08:33.360 or you're perceived to even be fair to him,

01:08:37.160 they're going to try to get you.

01:08:38.540 So Ronnie,

01:08:39.580 you know,

01:08:40.160 I don't know what Ronnie did.

01:08:41.380 He's an admiral.

01:08:42.180 He served his country well,

01:08:43.380 as you pointed out,

01:08:44.280 three presidents.

01:08:45.260 You know,

01:08:45.520 he was W's physician, too.

01:08:48.080 Loved the guy.

01:08:49.500 But apparently,

01:08:50.600 he had a few too many one night,

01:08:52.200 and that was it.

01:08:53.500 Bang,

01:08:53.760 they got him,

01:08:54.640 and he's gone.

01:08:55.480 And that's it for Ronnie.

01:08:57.260 Kanye West.

01:08:58.620 Any thoughts?

01:09:00.120 I was in an elevator.

01:09:01.040 I was in an elevator with him one time.

01:09:01.920 Do you know that?

01:09:03.420 No,

01:09:03.840 I did not know that.

01:09:04.740 Yeah,

01:09:04.880 Madison Square Garden.

01:09:06.060 It was me,

01:09:06.980 Kanye,

01:09:07.540 and two of Kanye's seven-foot bodyguards.

01:09:10.400 I could barely get in.

01:09:12.180 Kanye had short pants on,

01:09:13.880 and he's about five foot seven.

01:09:16.200 These guys were really big.

01:09:18.720 And we didn't really have a lot to talk about.

01:09:22.500 Yeah.

01:09:23.480 I don't know if you've been following.

01:09:25.840 I don't know if you've been following

01:09:28.140 what he's been saying on Twitter this week.

01:09:30.220 He likes Trump.

01:09:31.620 You know,

01:09:31.920 he likes him.

01:09:33.080 So Kanye's got a new record,

01:09:34.900 and what better way to have everybody

01:09:36.600 turn their attention to Kanye

01:09:38.440 than to say,

01:09:39.620 I like Trump.

01:09:40.840 And then,

01:09:41.180 you know,

01:09:41.780 John Legend,

01:09:43.000 who's going for a PhD

01:09:44.480 in political science,

01:09:45.560 I believe,

01:09:46.300 tweets,

01:09:47.440 tweets,

01:09:50.000 Kanye,

01:09:50.460 how can you turn on?

01:09:51.880 It's like this.

01:09:53.360 You're so brilliant.

01:09:54.320 And I love you,

01:09:55.240 but you have to hate Trump.

01:09:57.040 I love you,

01:09:58.180 Kanye,

01:09:58.520 but you have to hate.

01:10:00.300 I can't love you.

01:10:01.960 That was John Legend.

01:10:03.380 Sounded just like him.

01:10:04.060 Wow,

01:10:04.300 that was very good.

01:10:05.120 I thought you were playing a recording.

01:10:06.320 Thank you very much.

01:10:06.880 So do you think

01:10:08.700 that there's anything to be said?

01:10:10.740 Dave Rubin,

01:10:11.300 I was talking to Dave Rubin

01:10:12.140 and Ben Shapiro this week,

01:10:13.780 and they both seem to believe,

01:10:15.240 and I fall into this category,

01:10:17.540 that,

01:10:18.340 you know,

01:10:19.360 what he's done

01:10:20.900 is he's breaking

01:10:22.280 a cultural barrier.

01:10:24.080 He's speaking to people

01:10:25.320 that are not involved

01:10:27.260 in the everyday

01:10:28.260 back and forth,

01:10:29.380 and all he's saying now

01:10:31.460 is,

01:10:32.480 don't we have a right

01:10:33.340 to have a different opinion?

01:10:34.660 Why?

01:10:35.360 I'm just saying this in love.

01:10:36.960 I like Hillary. 1.00

01:10:37.920 I like Trump.

01:10:38.880 I don't like everything Trump does.

01:10:40.800 I don't agree with everybody

01:10:42.240 on everything,

01:10:43.380 but don't we have a right

01:10:44.580 to have a different point of view?

01:10:46.360 No, you don't.

01:10:47.160 You don't have a right

01:10:47.920 to have a different point of view.

01:10:49.680 If the Hollywood elite

01:10:51.200 say that somebody's bad,

01:10:53.080 they have to be bad,

01:10:54.200 or you don't work,

01:10:55.340 or you can't go to a restaurant,

01:10:57.080 and we hate you. 0.82

01:10:58.560 I mean,

01:10:59.000 that's what's happened

01:11:00.220 in this country.

01:11:01.060 Come on.

01:11:01.460 We all know it.

01:11:02.860 So, you know,

01:11:03.600 Kanye can say what he wants

01:11:06.860 because he has

01:11:07.880 tens of millions of dollars,

01:11:09.660 but if Kanye were

01:11:11.060 a character actor

01:11:12.020 and was just trying

01:11:13.580 to go for a few roles

01:11:14.840 to keep his mortgage paid,

01:11:16.600 he couldn't say

01:11:17.320 what he wanted,

01:11:18.140 and that's the truth.

01:11:20.240 Bill O'Reilly,

01:11:21.640 the no-spin zone continues.

01:11:23.540 I've got to get one plug

01:11:24.520 before you dismiss me

01:11:25.720 and go on to

01:11:26.980 whatever else you do

01:11:27.960 on this.

01:11:28.260 Well, I'm going to dismiss you

01:11:29.680 like a, yes, go ahead.

01:11:30.820 We announced the new

01:11:31.740 killing book this week.

01:11:33.420 It's Killing the SS,

01:11:35.480 the hunt for the worst

01:11:37.200 war criminals in history.

01:11:39.440 Killing the SS,

01:11:40.840 the hunt for the worst

01:11:41.860 war criminals in history.

01:11:43.820 Now, you can pre-order it.

01:11:45.060 I've already pre-ordered

01:11:46.380 you and Stu copies.

01:11:47.780 I've already done that

01:11:48.540 because I know you want to read it.

01:11:49.180 You know, I don't have

01:11:49.740 a single copy from you signed.

01:11:52.180 I have quite an autographed collection.

01:11:54.700 I'm stamping it.

01:11:55.800 I'm doing everything.

01:11:57.120 This, what we found out

01:11:58.940 about after World War II

01:12:01.280 and these SS,

01:12:04.280 I don't even know

01:12:05.180 what the word is.

01:12:06.040 They're so evil.

01:12:07.120 Monsters.

01:12:07.560 And how they escaped

01:12:08.780 and who helped them

01:12:10.240 and then how they ultimately

01:12:11.820 got tracked down

01:12:12.760 is amazing.

01:12:14.600 So anyway,

01:12:15.180 everybody go to

01:12:15.920 BillOReilly.com.

01:12:16.920 Check that out.

01:12:17.660 There's a little commentary

01:12:18.400 by me.

01:12:18.920 I always post,

01:12:20.140 if you just came in late

01:12:21.040 for the Beck,

01:12:21.740 Stu O'Reilly confab,

01:12:22.920 confab,

01:12:23.760 I always post,

01:12:24.820 and you do too

01:12:25.500 on The Blaze,

01:12:26.620 our conversation

01:12:27.480 so people can hear

01:12:28.280 the whole thing.

01:12:29.340 Yeah, no.

01:12:29.700 I'm finished.

01:12:30.300 I can go now.

01:12:31.500 Well, I'm not done.

01:12:32.720 I mean,

01:12:33.140 was Hitler in Venezuela?

01:12:36.060 Did he?

01:12:36.460 Did he?

01:12:37.560 No,

01:12:38.240 but very big guys

01:12:40.100 close to him

01:12:41.320 got away.

01:12:43.580 And I'm not going

01:12:44.540 to give it all away,

01:12:45.520 but one of them,

01:12:46.920 Martin Borman,

01:12:48.440 it's unbelievable

01:12:49.340 what happened.

01:12:50.900 And the final chapter

01:12:52.260 of this book,

01:12:53.300 I'm never talking about

01:12:54.880 because it's so stunning

01:12:56.700 that I don't want

01:12:57.940 anybody to know

01:12:58.740 until they read the book.

01:13:00.520 But the final chapter...

01:13:01.500 So you're like M. Night.

01:13:02.460 This is like an M. Night book.

01:13:04.280 M. Night Shyamalan.

01:13:05.100 I'm telling you, Beck,

01:13:06.080 you know me,

01:13:06.920 I always lay it on a line.

01:13:09.400 I know, I know.

01:13:10.780 I know.

01:13:11.480 Okay,

01:13:11.880 thanks so much, Bill.

01:13:14.280 And every Friday,

01:13:15.820 Bill O'Reilly appears here,

01:15:13.920 Welcome to the program.

01:15:26.560 Still to come,

01:15:28.260 we have

01:15:28.920 the amazing

01:15:29.720 Dave Rubin.

01:15:31.560 A great conversation

01:15:32.760 with him

01:15:33.220 still to come.

01:15:34.000 Also,

01:15:34.640 Daniel Lappin.

01:15:35.900 Next week,

01:15:36.880 the director

01:15:37.720 of The Exorcist

01:15:39.420 who has

01:15:39.940 put a new documentary

01:15:41.160 together

01:15:41.640 that said,

01:15:42.300 I just witnessed

01:15:43.760 a real exorcism.

01:15:45.100 I would have made

01:15:45.920 The Exorcist

01:15:46.600 differently now.

01:15:48.280 And he says

01:15:49.140 it's more terrifying

01:15:50.280 than The Exorcist.

01:15:52.560 We'll talk to him

01:15:53.580 next week.

01:15:54.940 Also,

01:15:55.700 Mr. Pat Gray

01:15:56.700 is going to be joining

01:15:57.780 the broadcast program

01:15:59.880 coming up

01:16:06.400 he is back

01:16:08.440 prayers

01:16:09.640 on behalf of him

01:16:11.200 as he was in

01:16:12.320 kidney failure

01:16:13.040 last week.

01:16:14.440 He is back

01:16:15.360 on the radio

01:16:23.420 Mercury.

01:16:32.940 Love.

01:16:34.180 Courage.

01:16:35.900 Truth.

01:16:37.600 Glenn Beck.

01:16:39.120 So how's this

01:16:40.660 for a headline

01:16:41.260 that you might have

01:16:42.400 missed along

01:16:42.960 with the rest

01:16:43.380 of America?

01:16:44.640 The Hillary Clinton

01:16:45.600 campaign effectively

01:16:46.900 laundered 84 million

01:16:48.740 dollars during

01:16:49.600 the 2016 election.

01:16:51.600 Wait a minute.

01:16:52.660 What?

01:16:54.460 That's the

01:16:55.140 allegation made

01:16:55.900 in a lawsuit

01:16:56.580 filed in D.C.

01:16:57.860 federal court

01:16:58.440 last week

01:16:59.060 by a group

01:16:59.980 called the

01:17:00.520 Committee to

01:17:01.040 Defend the

01:17:01.600 President.

01:17:02.600 Now why is it

01:17:03.700 a group of

01:17:04.660 Trump supporters

01:17:05.400 that have to do

01:17:06.220 this?

01:17:06.620 If you haven't

01:17:09.040 heard of this

01:17:09.600 it's probably

01:17:10.080 because last

01:17:10.900 week's priority

01:17:11.720 lawsuit was

01:17:12.620 the one filed

01:17:13.620 by Democrats

01:17:14.600 against Trump

01:17:15.660 and the Trump

01:17:16.960 campaign,

01:17:17.920 WikiLeaks,

01:17:18.820 and Russia.

01:17:19.860 Now to be fair

01:17:20.780 it is so darn

01:17:22.840 hard to squeeze

01:17:24.060 in the potential

01:17:24.920 bombshell news

01:17:25.880 about Hillary

01:17:26.440 Clinton's campaign

01:17:27.500 corruption with

01:17:28.200 so much Comey,

01:17:29.080 Russia, Michael

01:17:29.780 Cohen, and Stormy

01:17:30.680 Daniels updates

01:17:31.600 to cover.

01:17:32.800 I mean what am I

01:17:33.780 going to do?

01:17:34.740 There's only so

01:17:35.620 much time,

01:17:36.340 America.

01:17:38.080 Now basically

01:17:38.920 here's how

01:17:39.560 campaign finance

01:17:40.320 is supposed to

01:17:41.120 work.

01:17:41.860 You want to

01:17:42.860 give a candidate

01:17:43.660 some money.

01:17:44.660 You can give

01:17:45.200 them up to

01:17:45.860 $2,700 to

01:17:47.300 any candidate

01:17:47.880 you want.

01:17:48.700 Well it better

01:17:49.180 be the right

01:17:49.720 one or I'm

01:17:50.180 going to

01:17:50.360 unfollow you.

01:17:52.300 $10,000 to

01:17:53.620 any state

01:17:54.420 party committee.

01:17:56.140 And during

01:17:56.700 the 2016

01:17:57.580 election $33,400

01:17:59.640 to the national

01:18:00.740 party.

01:18:02.000 Now oftentimes

01:18:02.760 a donor will

01:18:03.800 give one lump

01:18:04.800 sum, let's

01:18:05.540 say $100,000.

01:18:07.280 So if that

01:18:08.080 person wrote a

01:18:08.860 check for $100,000

01:18:10.120 which, oh man,

01:18:12.920 I can't think of

01:18:13.820 a dollar more

01:18:15.020 well spent than

01:18:15.960 that.

01:18:16.820 Let's say you

01:18:17.360 wrote a $100,000

01:18:18.560 check to the

01:18:19.600 Hillary Victory

01:18:20.460 Fund, which was

01:18:21.920 Clinton's joint

01:18:22.620 fundraising committee.

01:18:24.340 Now under the

01:18:24.900 campaign finance

01:18:25.780 law, the Hillary

01:18:27.020 Victory Fund would

01:18:28.220 then have to

01:18:28.920 distribute that

01:18:29.780 money in the

01:18:30.980 allowed amounts to

01:18:32.020 the Hillary Clinton

01:18:32.740 campaign, which

01:18:33.640 would be $2,700

01:18:34.480 and the DNC

01:18:36.440 $33,400 and

01:18:38.620 the remaining

01:18:39.120 $63,900, I'm

01:18:41.000 just doing this

01:18:41.520 off the top of

01:18:42.080 my head, would

01:18:43.080 be disbursed to

01:18:44.740 the state's party

01:18:45.580 committees.

01:18:46.980 So no more

01:18:47.880 than $10,000 to

01:18:49.100 any one state

01:18:49.820 committee.

01:18:50.620 That's what's

01:18:51.800 permitted by law.

01:18:53.400 Well here's a

01:18:54.460 shocking news

01:18:55.360 flash.

01:18:55.940 Boop boop boop 0.53

01:18:56.560 boop boop boop boop. 1.00

01:18:57.520 Just off the wire,

01:18:59.400 the Hillary Victory

01:19:00.360 Fund apparently

01:19:01.400 did not follow

01:19:02.260 the rules.

01:19:03.200 We've got to

01:19:03.980 get big money

01:19:05.100 out of politics.

01:19:07.440 Or just maybe

01:19:08.460 live by the rules

01:19:09.420 would be nice.

01:19:11.360 Now pick your

01:19:11.920 jaw up off the

01:19:12.720 floor, I know.

01:19:14.120 Especially if you're

01:19:14.940 driving, that jaw

01:19:16.300 could fall on the

01:19:17.200 accelerator and

01:19:18.120 oh, you could

01:19:19.500 drive through a

01:19:20.140 Denny's.

01:19:21.340 The Hillary

01:19:22.380 Victory Fund

01:19:23.260 frequently received

01:19:24.620 a big donation,

01:19:26.120 like our $100,000

01:19:27.580 example, and would

01:19:29.420 transfer, at least

01:19:30.980 on paper, the

01:19:32.720 correct amounts

01:19:33.380 to the state

01:19:33.860 committees.

01:19:34.840 But then, the

01:19:36.120 exact same amount

01:19:37.320 was magically

01:19:38.260 transferred back

01:19:39.620 to the DNC, either

01:19:41.680 on the same day

01:19:42.560 or the next day.

01:19:43.960 It's like magic,

01:19:45.900 kids.

01:19:48.220 Mary Poppins

01:19:49.520 might have been

01:19:50.360 working someplace

01:19:51.380 at the DNC.

01:19:53.660 The DNC then

01:19:54.660 contributed most of

01:19:55.780 those funds to

01:19:56.820 Hillary for America,

01:19:58.120 which was Hillary's 0.89

01:19:59.920 campaign committee.

01:20:01.600 See how they're

01:20:02.180 laundering the

01:20:02.820 money?

01:20:04.440 Kids and politicians

01:20:05.840 will do the

01:20:06.420 darndest things.

01:20:08.380 The state

01:20:08.800 committees often

01:20:09.660 don't have records

01:20:10.820 of having either

01:20:12.140 received or sent

01:20:13.440 funds in those

01:20:14.460 amounts.

01:20:15.300 Wait a minute!

01:20:17.360 Now that's crazy!

01:20:18.960 You crazy kids!

01:20:20.560 And we would have

01:20:21.120 got away with it if

01:20:22.040 it wasn't for those

01:20:22.840 crazy kids in their

01:20:24.180 mystery van.

01:20:25.080 Quoting from the

01:20:27.440 lawsuit, quote,

01:20:28.800 public statements

01:20:29.820 from both the

01:20:31.140 then-chairwoman of

01:20:32.560 the DNC, Donna

01:20:33.420 Brazil.

01:20:34.680 Oh, now, don't

01:20:35.420 tell me she's

01:20:36.020 involved.

01:20:36.620 She always seems

01:20:38.660 so credible and

01:20:39.800 upfront.

01:20:41.440 And Hillary for 1.00

01:20:42.460 America chief

01:20:43.240 financial officer,

01:20:45.300 Gary Gensler,

01:20:46.960 confirmed Hillary 0.99

01:20:47.960 for America

01:20:48.580 controlled the

01:20:49.520 DNC's finances,

01:20:50.920 the strategy,

01:20:51.760 and expenditures.

01:20:52.960 Wait a minute!

01:20:54.060 So they were

01:20:56.100 both putting in

01:20:57.200 and then having

01:20:57.780 to ask themselves

01:20:58.860 to do something

01:20:59.620 illegal?

01:21:00.840 I find that hard

01:21:01.900 to believe with

01:21:02.380 the Clintons

01:21:02.800 involved.

01:21:04.340 The funds raised

01:21:05.600 through the

01:21:06.020 Hillary Victory

01:21:06.560 Fund ended up

01:21:07.920 under the

01:21:08.380 direction and

01:21:09.060 control of

01:21:09.800 Hillary for 0.99

01:21:10.540 America.

01:21:11.500 That's pretty

01:21:11.960 weird.

01:21:13.060 That is also

01:21:13.780 the illegal part.

01:21:15.720 Money going

01:21:16.280 from state party

01:21:17.280 committees back

01:21:18.140 to the National

01:21:18.880 Party Committee

01:21:19.520 is commonplace.

01:21:21.040 Both Republicans

01:21:21.660 and Democrats

01:21:22.200 do that.

01:21:22.720 But the

01:21:23.740 money at

01:21:24.460 the DNC

01:21:25.200 then flowing

01:21:25.840 directly to

01:21:26.640 Hillary for 0.99

01:21:27.260 America is

01:21:28.560 what we like

01:21:29.140 to call

01:21:29.720 against the

01:21:30.940 law.

01:21:32.200 Yeah, I

01:21:33.100 know, like

01:21:33.880 there is any

01:21:35.060 law anymore.

01:21:36.420 For a year

01:21:37.900 prior to the

01:21:38.740 election day,

01:21:39.820 the DNC also

01:21:40.820 made at least

01:21:41.520 59 coordinated

01:21:42.760 expenditures with

01:21:43.860 the Clinton

01:21:44.280 campaign, which

01:21:46.000 campaign finance

01:21:47.000 law treats as

01:21:47.860 contributions to

01:21:48.860 Hillary for 0.99

01:21:49.360 America.

01:21:49.840 those expenditures

01:21:51.280 totaled $22.8

01:21:53.500 million.

01:21:55.300 Now, I want

01:21:56.180 to point this

01:21:56.640 out because not

01:21:57.180 only is it

01:21:57.620 wrong and we

01:21:58.500 need to clean

01:21:59.180 up campaign

01:21:59.940 finance, but the

01:22:01.380 media is losing

01:22:02.340 its mind over

01:22:03.880 Michael Cohen's

01:22:04.740 $130,000 payment

01:22:06.280 to Stormy Daniels

01:22:07.380 and whether or not

01:22:08.180 it qualifies as a

01:22:09.100 campaign contribution.

01:22:10.640 And that is a

01:22:11.220 big deal.

01:22:11.900 I want that

01:22:12.440 investigated.

01:22:13.220 I want to know.

01:22:14.500 It's $130,000.

01:22:15.980 Is this an

01:22:17.660 illegal contribution?

01:22:20.120 It's kind of

01:22:20.920 like, you know,

01:22:22.140 when they put our

01:22:23.180 good friend Dinesh

01:22:24.100 D'Souza in

01:22:24.960 prison for a

01:22:26.940 $10,000 donation?

01:22:30.620 I don't know.

01:22:31.740 I think $84 million

01:22:33.380 is worth at least

01:22:34.880 a headline.

01:22:36.940 Donna Brazile laid

01:22:38.180 out much of this in

01:22:38.960 a Politico magazine

01:22:39.900 article last November,

01:22:40.980 but the media yawned

01:22:42.540 and went back to

01:22:43.280 checking Trump's

01:22:44.240 Twitter feed.

01:22:44.960 According to the

01:22:46.260 lawsuit, these

01:22:47.460 allegations are built 0.91

01:22:48.420 entirely on the

01:22:49.880 FEC's reports filed

01:22:52.180 by the Hillary

01:22:53.180 Victory Fund, the

01:22:54.560 DNC, the state

01:22:56.220 Democratic parties.

01:22:57.760 Politico magazine

01:22:58.540 also reported on

01:22:59.700 this scheme way

01:23:01.180 back in June of

01:23:02.600 2016.

01:23:04.120 But the mainstream

01:23:05.120 media didn't bat an

01:23:06.360 eyelid because they

01:23:07.340 were full-on Trump

01:23:08.680 panic mode at that

01:23:10.120 time.

01:23:11.200 Even Bernie Sanders

01:23:12.480 accused the Clinton

01:23:13.300 campaign of money

01:23:14.380 laundering,

01:23:14.960 prior to the DNC

01:23:16.300 convention.

01:23:18.040 So the current

01:23:18.940 lawsuit is not just

01:23:19.900 another partisan

01:23:20.580 attack.

01:23:21.800 It's just left up to

01:23:23.480 the people who

01:23:24.120 support the president

01:23:25.020 to say, hey, is

01:23:26.600 anyone going to pay

01:23:27.700 attention to this?

01:23:31.360 So what does all

01:23:32.300 this mean?

01:23:34.800 Well, it means more

01:23:35.880 than just the

01:23:36.300 mainstream media is

01:23:37.120 barking up the wrong

01:23:37.980 tree.

01:23:38.740 It also means for some

01:23:41.080 strange reason, they

01:23:42.280 don't care when it

01:23:43.340 happens to the people

01:23:44.420 on their side.

01:23:45.860 They haven't learned a

01:23:47.220 damn thing.

01:23:48.960 And this is why the

01:23:50.500 media will soon be out

01:23:51.960 in the parking lot

01:23:52.640 kicking rocks, asking

01:23:53.740 themselves, how did my

01:23:54.880 empire fall apart?

01:23:56.020 If there's one good

01:23:58.740 thing that the

01:23:59.400 Clintons are really 0.99

01:24:00.800 experts at, well, you'd

01:24:04.060 have to redefine good, but

01:24:05.380 it's manipulating the

01:24:06.380 flow of millions of

01:24:07.540 dollars into their own

01:24:08.540 pockets or their own

01:24:09.620 organizations or for their

01:24:11.140 own benefit.

01:24:12.360 They're masters at it.

01:24:14.860 Actually, the masterful part

01:24:16.520 is their amazing ability to

01:24:19.200 avoid ever, ever being held

01:24:22.400 accountable.

01:24:27.760 It's Friday, April 27th.

01:24:30.040 You're listening to the

01:24:30.980 Glenn Beck Program.

01:24:35.060 We have Rabbi Lappin with

01:24:36.460 us.

01:24:39.860 The one, the only, Rabbi 1.00

01:24:42.940 Lappin.

01:24:43.960 Glenn, your speech last

01:24:45.040 night went down so very

01:24:47.040 well.

01:24:48.260 Thank you, sir.

01:24:49.140 Thank you.

01:24:49.640 We were gathered to

01:24:52.940 celebrate Israel's 70th

01:24:55.860 birthday, and I was

01:24:59.600 afraid, Rabbi Lappin, that

01:25:01.320 you know, I'm never one to

01:25:02.560 bring to a birthday party.

01:25:03.980 You know, I'm not the life

01:25:05.040 of the party.

01:25:06.500 Yeah.

01:25:07.540 Yeah.

01:25:08.220 And so, you know, I had

01:25:10.260 to be, the speech was in

01:25:11.600 our studios, and I was

01:25:13.040 supposed to be there last

01:25:13.920 night, but I've been, I'm

01:25:14.980 being held captive here in

01:25:16.420 Los Angeles.

01:25:18.220 And so I did, I couldn't

01:25:19.460 read the audience, because

01:25:20.420 I couldn't see them or hear

01:25:21.480 them.

01:25:22.700 But I'm glad that nobody

01:25:24.260 was, you know, running for

01:25:25.660 the doors after my speech.

01:25:27.580 No, not at all.

01:25:28.840 It really made the

01:25:29.880 evening.

01:25:31.980 Rabbi, before we get into 0.95

01:25:34.220 some other things, and I

01:25:35.420 want to talk about your

01:25:36.440 speech, because I learned so

01:25:37.560 much history yesterday, as I

01:25:39.800 always do from you.

01:25:41.460 Thank you.

01:25:41.880 Can we talk a little bit

01:25:43.100 about the content of what I

01:25:46.000 spoke about last night, about

01:25:48.060 the 12th, the mom, and

01:25:49.340 about what Iran is doing in

01:25:53.200 surrounding Israel, and how

01:25:55.980 this looks like it's all kind

01:25:57.100 of culminating around the

01:25:58.860 anniversary and President

01:26:01.120 Trump's visit of May 14th?

01:26:04.280 Yeah.

01:26:05.780 Are you, are people really

01:26:08.720 aware of what Iran truly

01:26:13.100 believes and what their

01:26:14.300 motivation is for all of

01:26:16.080 this?

01:26:18.240 Well, you know, going back, a

01:26:21.980 long, a long time back, there

01:26:25.300 was a guy called Pat Buchanan.

01:26:27.780 I'm sure you remember.

01:26:29.420 Yeah.

01:26:29.700 And Pat Buchanan wrote a

01:26:32.220 piece.

01:26:33.240 I think it was published in the

01:26:35.100 American Conservative back then.

01:26:36.860 But basically, what he said was

01:26:39.600 in the aftermath of 9-11, he

01:26:43.320 pointed out that what he called

01:26:45.320 neoconservatives, which many

01:26:47.300 people felt was a code word for

01:26:50.940 Jewish conservatives, were

01:26:53.540 pushing President George W. Bush to

01:26:57.340 sort of nation build in the Middle

01:27:00.180 East, which was sort of part of the

01:27:01.640 dream of...

01:27:02.520 Anyway, it caused a tremendous

01:27:04.420 row, and many people felt that

01:27:08.040 President Bush was sort of

01:27:10.280 following the guidance, because

01:27:11.860 many of the people like Paul

01:27:13.060 Wolfowitz and Pearl and many of

01:27:16.440 those people who had the

01:27:18.380 presidents here were part of what

01:27:21.060 Pat Buchanan called the sort of

01:27:23.180 neocon crowd, people who read 0.51

01:27:26.240 commentary magazine and the

01:27:28.060 Weekly Standard, etc., etc.

01:27:30.160 And at any rate, the fact is that

01:27:34.080 at the end of the day, when we all

01:27:36.560 look back on that period, we ask

01:27:41.800 whether the enormous expenditure of

01:27:45.800 blood and money on the wars in Iraq

01:27:50.240 and so on, were they really worth it

01:27:53.580 for America?

01:27:55.240 And I don't think so, because at the

01:27:58.780 time I said that trying to turn a

01:28:02.560 suburb of Baghdad or Damascus into a

01:28:08.060 suburb of Kansas City is just not

01:28:10.800 going to work, because culture beats

01:28:14.340 politics.

01:28:15.060 Politics flows from culture, not the

01:28:17.220 other way around.

01:28:18.120 And since the pleasant and genteel

01:28:25.980 surroundings of a suburb in Dallas or

01:28:29.880 Kansas City or Charlotte, these are the

01:28:34.300 result of hundreds of years of American

01:28:37.500 culture built on hundreds of other

01:28:40.420 years of British culture.

01:28:42.620 And so the notion, anyway, the point is

01:28:44.680 that a Fed service was done by that

01:28:49.160 period, because today, whenever we speak

01:28:52.640 about the very real threats posed by

01:28:55.940 Iran, which you've been one of the few

01:28:58.040 voices doing eloquently and effectively,

01:29:01.420 the reaction on the part of a lot of

01:29:03.680 people is, oh, you know what, we don't

01:29:05.140 need any more wars in the Middle East. 0.98

01:29:07.040 George Bush did enough.

01:29:10.040 And the fact is they're completely

01:29:12.300 different.

01:29:13.940 In my personal view, I do think that

01:29:18.320 much of what George Bush spent and

01:29:21.640 expended in blood and money was a waste,

01:29:23.600 because Iraq is no better today than it 1.00

01:29:26.740 was on 9-11.

01:29:29.900 And we may have and we may have lost the

01:29:33.320 the opportunity to now make a strong case

01:29:37.600 for real, true evil.

01:29:40.140 That is.

01:29:41.540 And I don't use that word.

01:29:44.060 Yes, yes.

01:29:45.760 I don't use the word evil lightly, but I do

01:29:49.740 believe they are in an end times game.

01:29:54.560 Those who believe in the 12th, the mom 0.94

01:29:56.220 and they are talking about it right now.

01:29:58.400 Their their their leadership in the

01:30:00.980 Republican Guard are talking about the

01:30:03.380 return of the 12th, the mom

01:30:05.000 and and the chaos that they are causing

01:30:08.700 and they are orchestrating now the

01:30:11.060 Palestinians on the on the Gaza border

01:30:14.040 of Israel.

01:30:14.640 And, you know, that's only going to get

01:30:17.900 worse, especially when the president opens

01:30:19.880 up the new

01:30:20.680 embassy there in Jerusalem.

01:30:26.900 And and God bless him for that.

01:30:29.620 My goodness.

01:30:30.260 And and also, I mean, for pardoning

01:30:33.000 Scooter Libby, that took some guts. 0.98

01:30:35.600 That's something George W. Bush should

01:30:37.660 have done, but didn't.

01:30:40.380 Rabbi, last night you gave a speech and

01:30:43.420 you talked about why Israel or why

01:30:45.620 Jerusalem is so important or what it was

01:30:49.660 built on.

01:30:50.540 And you gave a little bit of history of

01:30:53.760 the Middle East and Yemen and Somalia.

01:30:56.580 I had never heard any of this before.

01:31:00.440 Start quickly with just the is it already

01:31:03.000 20 after?

01:32:53.560 Rabbi Daniel Lappin, and I guarantee you,

01:32:55.400 you will learn more from him than anybody

01:33:00.960 ever met, Rabbi Daniel Lappin dot com,

01:33:03.960 Rabbi Daniel Lappin dot com.

01:33:05.860 Rabbi, tell me, tell me quickly about the

01:33:10.460 reason Israel is different and how it has 0.99

01:33:14.600 affected the Middle East.

01:33:16.640 Yeah, sure.

01:33:17.260 Although I not to sound sycophantic or

01:33:20.220 anything, but I've I'm always astounded by

01:33:22.920 you 99 out of 100 celebrities who had to do

01:33:27.800 their speech remote by satellite as you did

01:33:30.140 last night.

01:33:30.980 You'd have done your speech and then take it

01:33:33.240 off in any event.

01:33:34.200 You were in a time zone where it was

01:33:36.740 inconvenient.

01:33:37.740 And and I can't believe in the last few

01:33:40.880 minutes, I've I'm trying to wrap myself

01:33:42.960 around the idea that you stayed online and

01:33:45.700 heard my speech coming off.

01:33:48.220 Rabbi, I wouldn't I would not miss your

01:33:50.320 speech.

01:33:50.500 I mean, what I just said, I've learned more

01:33:52.780 from you than than I've learned from most

01:33:56.000 people.

01:33:56.320 I think you are one of the brightest, most

01:33:59.660 well-spoken history teachers and and theology

01:34:03.340 teachers I have I've ever I've ever

01:34:05.640 encountered.

01:34:06.460 Well, thank you.

01:34:07.380 Thank you very much indeed.

01:34:08.420 But I'm astounded that you you stayed online to

01:34:11.160 listen to what went on.

01:34:12.040 But OK, to answer your to answer your question.

01:34:15.680 Yeah, I pointed out that that well, I started

01:34:20.820 off speaking about Mombasa, which is a city I

01:34:24.540 used to know on the east coast of Africa from

01:34:27.220 which trading ships 3000 years ago used to

01:34:31.420 travel up the east coast of Africa and then

01:34:34.120 they would turn into the Red Sea and then go up

01:34:38.740 to the southern tip of Israel, which is now a lot. 0.54

01:34:42.040 And there were there were copper mines there, but

01:34:44.040 there were all kind of basically Israel was the

01:34:46.840 the center of the world in those days.

01:34:49.420 I mean, everybody, although they were obviously

01:34:50.940 civilizations elsewhere, Israel was where it's 0.99

01:34:54.140 at.

01:34:54.360 And I pointed out that ships that would go up.

01:34:57.460 I mean, so far spread was Israeli culture that

01:35:00.640 to this day, Somalia and Yemen, which are on either

01:35:04.520 side of the Straits as you enter the Red Sea, were

01:35:08.840 named by people after the Hebrew words for left and

01:35:12.500 right.

01:35:12.740 As you're heading up north, Somalia is on the left and 1.00

01:35:16.080 the Hebrew word for left is Somal and Yemen is on the

01:35:19.280 right.

01:35:19.620 And of course, the Hebrew word for right is Yemen.

01:35:22.260 So I think of that.

01:35:25.700 And the patriarchy continues.

01:35:28.200 You're naming countries, whole lands is it's I had no idea

01:35:32.400 that's left.

01:35:33.200 That's right.

01:35:34.080 In Hebrew.

01:35:35.200 Yeah, right.

01:35:35.920 Do they know that?

01:35:42.400 Look, I mean, Somalia has raised barbaric piracy to obscene 0.99

01:35:49.460 new levels.

01:35:50.160 So I'm not sure they're spending an awful lot of time delving

01:35:52.700 into the demographics and study of their language and culture.

01:36:00.420 But I mean, yeah, it's known by people who know these things.

01:36:04.740 And and then I pointed out that, you know, I listed in a number

01:36:09.220 of cities after speaking of Mombasa, I said, there's, you know,

01:36:13.020 there's there's Naples, there's there's Oslo, there's Paris,

01:36:15.980 there's Quebec City, there's Rome, there's Stockholm, there's

01:36:18.980 Tokyo.

01:36:19.680 And I was I'm sort of playing around with, you know, choosing an

01:36:22.400 alphabetical list of cities.

01:36:23.580 But the main point was that all these cities are on water.

01:36:26.760 And it's very hard to think of a significant city that's more than

01:36:29.900 200 years old that wasn't built on water.

01:36:32.540 Had to be.

01:36:32.820 Yet the city that has shaped the destiny of Western civilization for

01:36:37.920 never mind 200 years, but 2000 years is Jerusalem, which is

01:36:42.280 And it's most unique in not on the water at all.

01:36:46.340 Glenn Beck, Mercury.

01:36:48.600 We all have ears.

01:36:55.860 But I don't think a lot of us know what to do with them.

01:36:58.800 Ears help us hear.

01:37:00.280 They help us communicate.

01:37:01.380 They're vital to the human civilization we've been able to come up with.

01:37:05.700 But we don't actually treat them all that well now, do we?

01:37:08.540 You know, hey, you need to clean the inside of your ear.

01:37:11.000 Well, let's use this cardboard stick with a little bit of fuzz on the end of it.

01:37:15.820 That's a Q-tip.

01:37:16.820 That's a terrible idea.

01:37:18.320 You need something that's actually going to condition your ears.

01:37:19.980 That's going to help you with that.

01:37:21.840 When your ears aren't clean, they can get uncomfortable.

01:37:23.660 They're itch.

01:37:24.200 They can get plugged up.

01:37:26.100 They're kind of nasty.

01:37:27.780 And you need to make sure that they're clean with the right tools.

01:37:31.820 WaxRx is the right tool.

01:37:34.500 UseWaxRx.com is the place to go to get it.

01:37:36.600 It comes with everything you need to clean out your ears safely and condition them as well.

01:38:06.180 Dave Rubin coming up in just a few minutes.

01:38:08.360 We're so glad that you're here.

01:38:11.860 Sam Power is back in the news.

01:38:13.860 Love her.

01:38:15.200 Sam Power is, what's his name?

01:38:19.060 What's her husband?

01:38:21.180 Cass Sunstein's wife.

01:38:23.680 She was also the one who brought us the, you know, really good Libyan and Syria council.

01:38:29.160 Yeah, the former U.S. ambassador as well to the U.N.

01:38:33.960 Yeah, she was wonderful.

01:38:35.140 She was really wonderful.

01:38:35.960 Did you see that Nikki Haley is now the most popular politician in America?

01:38:41.140 She's had a great run here.

01:38:42.420 She's had a great run.

01:38:43.200 She is.

01:38:44.040 She's, she's, there have been three, there have been, with her now, three, I think,

01:38:49.220 outrageously great U.N. ambassadors in my lifetime.

01:38:54.600 Gene Kirkpatrick, John Bolton, and, and, and now Nikki Haley.

01:39:03.680 You forgot Sam Power, though, of course, obviously you meant to include her in this group.

01:39:07.920 Well, no, I really didn't forget.

01:39:09.220 But here she is on Barack Obama's red line.

01:39:12.620 In retrospect, I wish we hadn't gone to Congress with the, the, at the, in the red line moment

01:39:20.320 when we had already committed to using force.

01:39:23.400 You know, I think that was actually a really pivotal moment where we knew prior to that point

01:39:31.480 that Obama, many of Obama's critics were not at the level, you know, that things they were for

01:39:37.280 on a Monday, if Obama was for them on a Tuesday, they were then against them on a Wednesday.

01:39:42.240 Like, we knew that.

01:39:43.260 And yet, that decision to go to Congress was made, and people don't, a lot of people don't believe this,

01:39:50.360 but in good faith, in believing that given the number of people who, in response to this monstrous attack

01:39:56.940 on 1,500 people, including several hundred kids, so many people have come out kind of calling for the president

01:40:04.040 to act, you know, criticizing him for being feckless, and, and then the president turned around and said,

01:40:08.680 okay, here, this is what I want to do, now we can do this together, and, and they basically, you know,

01:40:15.140 kind of, you know, went for the, ran for the exits.

01:40:19.780 She is right on that last part.

01:40:21.240 I mean, you should go to Congress with these things.

01:40:24.160 Yeah, she is, but her surprise, her surprise that Congress would be spineless is, is hard to believe.

01:40:33.520 And she's an educated woman.

01:40:35.960 Yeah, she should have known.

01:40:37.240 You know, I think this happens, though, at times.

01:40:39.100 I think the same thing kind of happened with Trump and Comey.

01:40:41.640 You know, at the time, everyone was calling for his firing.

01:40:44.680 You know, the left and the right, both didn't like him, and they were all calling.

01:40:49.200 The left was on the front lines for calling for him to be fired, and as soon as he fired him,

01:40:55.080 I think they actually, Trump fired Comey with the idea that, generally speaking, it would be well-received,

01:41:01.880 because so many people were out there saying he should be fired.

01:41:04.800 And so Trump fires him, and then they immediately turn their opinion around to the exact opposite

01:41:10.000 and then started criticizing him for it, which, you know, I mean, at some level,

01:41:15.020 they perhaps should have seen that coming.

01:41:17.820 But I think that does happen with administrations.

01:41:19.980 They may have gone into the Syria thing thinking they could get that through Congress, and they didn't.

01:41:23.340 But when you don't, you have to understand, A, there's consequences to that, and, B, you don't just go do it anyway.

01:41:29.320 And I think every president seems to have forgotten that lesson.

01:41:34.080 Let's see.

01:41:34.880 I've got more audio, but there's also—

01:41:36.660 I have an important story.

01:41:37.640 I do, too.

01:41:41.380 I'll give you mine real quick.

01:41:42.760 Sure.

01:41:43.180 Then you can go, okay?

01:41:44.000 Florida police have made a traffic stop.

01:41:47.140 The—

01:41:47.500 They stopped.

01:41:50.640 There were two passengers in the car.

01:41:52.280 They were swerving in the roadway.

01:41:54.220 They were stopped by Fort Pierce police.

01:41:56.340 As they approached the vehicle, they smelled marijuana.

01:41:59.160 Well, they said, step out of the car, and they searched the car.

01:42:01.600 And they found cocaine and marijuana in separate bags inside of a purse

01:42:06.280 that one of the women had on their lap. 1.00

01:42:08.620 The police said, you know, what about the cocaine?

01:42:14.480 And she said, quote, I don't know anything about any cocaine, but it is a windy day, officer.

01:42:22.620 I believe it must have flown through the window and into my purse.

01:42:29.740 Apparently, the police didn't buy that, and she's in jail today.

01:42:33.360 Apparently.

01:42:33.740 So the weather is her fault?

01:42:35.960 No.

01:42:36.200 The weather is her fault.

01:42:37.420 And she can now control the wind.

01:42:40.140 No, I don't think that's—

01:42:42.020 No, I don't think that's exactly what happened there.

01:42:45.100 I like this story, Glenn, because this is something I think you and I can unite on.

01:42:50.600 There's a Texas town that is holding a 5K.

01:42:54.680 Towns do this all the time.

01:42:55.980 You know, they have these little 5Ks.

01:42:57.340 You go run at them.

01:42:59.040 You know, you have a—it's like camaraderie of your community.

01:43:01.780 Maybe you have a snack afterwards and, you know, refreshments.

01:43:05.900 It's a nice way, I think, towns can build, you know, some community spirit and some camaraderie.

01:43:12.680 No, it is nothing but a communist or European scheme to get us all to adopt the metric system.

01:43:21.540 That is the primary reason I don't run in 5Ks.

01:43:25.380 Really?

01:43:25.760 Just, I want you to know.

01:43:27.100 Oh, really?

01:43:27.460 Because I thought the reason might be, you know, you'd have to run 5K.

01:43:32.120 No, I said that it was the primary reason.

01:43:34.640 I refuse to adopt the metric system.

01:43:37.480 That's my primary reason.

01:43:38.740 My second is I am in such a highly tuned physical shape that I think 5K is a little too much.

01:43:50.360 Maybe a little bit.

01:43:51.740 A little bit.

01:43:52.360 Because I think these events are actually kind of fun, with the exception of all that running.

01:43:57.380 You know, my wife runs them a lot, and I have been able to partake in these events, which is just—it winds up just being just the refreshments.

01:44:06.360 You know, you're kind of out and you have a bunch of refreshments, which I like it.

01:44:09.640 But they're actually solving this a little bit in Texas.

01:44:11.740 Instead of a 5K, they're having a .5K.

01:44:16.400 Oh, wait a minute.

01:44:17.320 I'm interested.

01:44:18.100 Yes.

01:44:18.820 The running—the entire distance of the race is 1,640 feet.

01:44:24.720 That's fantastic.

01:44:26.180 I love it.

01:44:27.460 Now, what you will get when you're there is, of course, beer.

01:44:32.060 You will get a pint at the start of the race, which is—

01:44:35.460 Do you have somebody just jam it into your hand halfway through the race, too?

01:44:38.940 It feels like it's, like, one of those marathon people who get it from—I like that.

01:44:42.720 And then, also, you will get a pretentious .5K sticker to put on your windshield.

01:44:48.460 Oh, I want one.

01:44:49.460 I want one of those.

01:44:50.620 Badly.

01:44:51.160 Oh, I want—I've got to have it.

01:44:53.640 I must have the .5K.

01:44:57.620 Oh, I hate those people that have those on their—

01:44:59.800 I want one.

01:45:01.660 I need a .5K.

01:45:03.080 I would even run a .10K.

01:45:05.160 I'd do it.

01:45:05.840 Which is smaller than a—

01:45:10.140 Shh.

01:45:15.020 I'm with you.

01:45:15.900 Okay.

01:45:16.300 I'm with you.

01:45:17.900 All right.

01:45:19.260 Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

01:45:21.240 It's Casper.

01:45:23.940 The idea of falling into bed at night has taken a whole new meaning since I started sleeping on my Casper bed.

01:45:30.100 I—have you ever gotten to the point to where you almost hate the idea of bedtime because you know you're just not going to go to sleep?

01:45:40.080 And you just look at your bed, and you're like, oh, jeez, I am so tired, but I know I'm just going to lay in bed, and it's going to be another nightmare all night.

01:45:48.080 That is what has changed now that I have a Casper mattress.

01:46:38.360 Dave Rubin is up next.

01:46:40.280 Glenn Beck Mercury.

01:46:45.860 I had a really fascinating conversation with Dave Rubin the other day here in Los Angeles, and I asked him, you know, how did the change happen?

01:47:07.960 Because he's a guy who said, I used to be progressive.

01:47:12.860 A year ago, he proudly proclaimed himself as progressive.

01:47:17.000 Now, not so much.

01:47:19.660 I asked him, did you know what the word progressive really meant then?

01:47:24.860 I thought they were the good guys.

01:47:26.700 That was kind of the extent of it.

01:47:28.640 Like, things are going to be better because they say nice things to people.

01:47:32.560 I wish I could give you a better answer to that.

01:47:35.080 Yeah, no, that's fine. I think that's where most people are until they find themselves in a point to where the pain one way or another of what they're doing.

01:47:42.820 I think we're fortunate because we have to have an opinion.

01:47:46.540 Yeah.

01:47:46.980 And most people don't.

01:47:48.780 And so they just kind of go along.

01:47:50.220 But because we have to have an opinion, hopefully, we look at everything we say at the end of the day and go, was that really right?

01:47:57.980 Yeah. And the real beauty of that, of course, is that the more you do it and the more years that go by, the rubber keeps meeting the road in different ways.

01:48:05.520 So suddenly you go, wait a minute, wait a minute.

01:48:07.280 I thought this about this.

01:48:08.580 But if I want to really be intellectually consistent, I'm going to have to reevaluate that.

01:48:13.360 And that's what I find that.

01:48:15.420 Thank you.

01:48:15.720 I took the same thing.

01:48:19.020 I realized I didn't know anything on my own.

01:48:21.380 I didn't know anything on my own.

01:48:23.280 Took everything out and said, I don't believe in anything.

01:48:26.200 I am not pro or against anything.

01:48:30.720 Started reading, started really doing my own homework.

01:48:33.640 And then I put it in.

01:48:34.560 I go, okay, I got it.

01:48:36.120 And then when I put another thing in that I thought I believed, if they were in conflict, wait a minute, one of these is wrong.

01:48:43.260 You know what I mean?

01:48:44.180 And how great to get in there and do that.

01:48:46.560 Your life becomes, I mean, it's five years at least of total hell.

01:48:51.000 Yeah.

01:48:51.440 You know, the truth will set you free.

01:48:53.360 I'm about three and a half in right now.

01:48:54.680 Yeah.

01:48:54.700 Okay.

01:48:54.900 Truth will set you free, but it'll make you miserable first.

01:49:00.360 But you then, once it all pulls into place, you have an easy time answering new questions.

01:49:09.460 Yeah.

01:49:09.680 Because you're like, oh, well, okay, well, it fits.

01:49:12.600 And you just recognize it.

01:49:13.940 Yeah.

01:49:14.080 What's nice also, real quick, is that you will find that you will be a better person.

01:49:20.540 Yes.

01:49:20.640 I am a better person now.

01:49:22.020 I'm not a perfect person.

01:49:23.100 And I still sometimes fall into some old traps and have old habits and all of that.

01:49:26.920 But if you really start understanding this stuff and you understand why you think the way you do, you will try your damn hardest.

01:49:33.100 And we're all flawed, but you will try your damn hardest not to do those things.

01:49:36.560 Yeah.

01:49:36.700 So I think as I sit here at the moment, I'm the best person that I've been.

01:49:41.420 I hopefully will be a much better person.

01:49:43.480 I really do.

01:49:44.580 Or a more refined person or whatever that is.

01:49:47.000 But I'm trying.

01:49:48.320 I can tell you I've never tried harder in my life to live up to the things that I'm talking about.

01:49:53.160 That's great.

01:49:53.640 Yeah.

01:49:53.860 No, it's really cool.

01:49:54.400 Great.

01:49:54.880 So have you gotten to a place to where there's a book that I read years ago called Blackmailed by History, and it was about McCarthy.

01:50:10.700 I thought, you know, I got it.

01:50:13.500 McCarthy, bad guy, the whole blacklisting thing.

01:50:16.180 Started reading it, and it's all very well footnoted.

01:50:19.160 And I started reading it, and I closed it because I thought, if I go any further in this book, if I'm going to be intellectually honest, it's going to change my opinion on all of these things.

01:50:32.960 Do I want to even take that on at this point?

01:50:36.820 Okay.

01:50:37.500 And I decided I'm going to call and do my research on the author first, and then I want to call him, and I want to poke holes in him to see if he's a sound individual before I finish the book.

01:50:49.860 I finished the book, and it changed.

01:50:52.100 It changed a lot of what I believed.

01:50:53.720 I believed in that, oh, America, and the government's, all that crap, you know what I mean?

01:50:59.220 Yeah.

01:51:00.200 And have you gotten to that place yet?

01:51:03.800 Have you gotten to a place to where you thought, I don't know if I'm ready to look at that yet?

01:51:10.020 I don't know if I, have you had any of those?

01:51:13.340 I don't know that I've gotten to places where it's, that I, I, I'm afraid to look, because I, I've been looking, and I have difficult conversations on my show every week.

01:51:21.700 And so, for example, I think one that we differ on is, I am, I describe myself as begrudgingly pro-choice.

01:51:27.760 I think it's a horrible decision that, that a woman would have to make. 0.89

01:51:31.560 I was there.

01:51:32.020 I know, I know, yeah.

01:51:33.200 I was pro-choice.

01:51:33.900 I get it, believe me.

01:51:34.560 And then begrudgingly pro-choice.

01:51:36.220 Believe me, all my conservative friends say this.

01:51:38.100 Oh, yeah, yeah, I was there, I was there.

01:51:39.600 So now, so now knowing that I respect you guys, and I know, and that you guys generally have clean way of thinking and all that, I have to see that.

01:51:46.760 That thing that caused you to close the book, I have to see that.

01:51:49.640 And, you know, when I had Ben Shapiro on my show, and he was making the pro-life argument, I was making the pro-choice argument.

01:51:54.760 And my argument is nuanced, and I talk about 20 weeks, because the fetus can then feel pain.

01:51:59.920 But I acknowledge, at the same time, I'm acknowledging, if you're saying it's a life at 20, it's obviously a life at 18.

01:52:04.940 I get the inconsistencies there, and my deference still goes to the woman who's here and now.

01:52:11.680 But we can do this again, and I know we will, for sure.

01:52:14.440 Look, I am, the one place that I know I'm inconsistent on is abortion.

01:52:19.660 Because I make the exception for rape and incest, and I shouldn't if I were going to be consistent.

01:52:27.380 Which shows, I mean.

01:52:28.120 But I can't, I just, and, you know, I just can't do it.

01:52:34.080 Right, but even the fact that you're acknowledging that shows that if you sat down here with the clearest pro-life thinker, they could probably get you there.

01:52:42.660 Because you're already acknowledging the inconsistency.

01:52:45.180 Now, that little inconsistency, what you believe as your personal humanity may override that logical inconsistency.

01:52:54.680 But we all live in that place, and that's why the media is so insane right now.

01:52:59.260 Where they say, if you're pro-life, you hate women, and if you're pro-choice, you hate children.

01:53:03.360 Right.

01:53:03.600 And it's like, no, you're all liars and frauds.

01:53:06.100 Yes.

01:53:06.420 What is real is what is in your mind, and if you're a believer in a higher power, how you operate within that.

01:53:12.960 What is frustrating to me, I can sit down with anybody, as long as they're honest, and they can say what you just did.

01:53:19.600 Look, I know it's inconsistent, and I just said, I know it's inconsistent.

01:53:22.840 We just conceded something.

01:53:24.020 Correct.

01:53:24.100 I mean, both of us from a different place.

01:53:25.640 And that's a good, healthy place.

01:53:27.540 That is a country I can live in.

01:53:29.240 Yeah.

01:53:29.400 Where I can't live is when somebody says, I'm pro-choice all the way to the end.

01:53:37.440 Well, isn't that a child that it's halfway through?

01:53:40.240 What are we talking about?

01:53:40.820 It's seven months?

01:53:41.700 I mean.

01:53:42.220 Yeah.

01:53:42.580 I mean, even partial birth abortion.

01:53:44.440 Yeah.

01:53:44.540 You know it's a child.

01:53:45.960 You have to abort in the birth canal because the moment it comes out, it's illegal.

01:53:51.700 It's a murder.

01:53:52.520 Come on.

01:53:53.040 And, you know, where you will have politicians who will say, you know, I won't answer the question if my children were life, you know, and children before they were.

01:54:03.440 Come on.

01:54:04.660 But, Glenn, think about what we just did right here in these three minutes, and this simply does not happen.

01:54:09.680 We just agreed to disagree.

01:54:11.200 We both admitted inconsistencies in our own logic.

01:54:14.560 This simply does not happen on the left.

01:54:16.940 And if it does, please, anyone that's watching this, send me the people, and I will invite them.

01:54:20.800 And most likely I have invited them because I invite these people all the time.

01:54:24.660 But what I want, I'm not just going to have any crackpot that's just screaming all day long.

01:54:29.060 What I want is people that truly have a consistent set of views, even if those are completely antithetical to everything else that I do.

01:54:35.640 Correct.

01:54:50.800 Glenn Beck, Mercury.
