The Glenn Beck Program - 'The Beginning of The End？' - 4⧸9⧸18

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

00:00:10.420 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:17.680 The phrase that caught my eye this weekend came out of Russia.

00:00:21.700 It was from a General Putin supporter who said,

00:00:25.720 this may be the beginning of the last war of mankind.

00:00:32.760 It's a little sobering.

00:00:35.820 More than 60 dead, over 1,000 wounded,

00:00:39.020 and yet another chemical weapons attack inside of Syria.

00:00:43.320 Syria is denying it. Russia is denying it.

00:00:47.440 It's exactly a year ago, to the week,

00:00:50.100 that President Trump retaliated with 59 cruise missiles

00:00:53.240 after the last chemical attack inside Syria.

00:00:56.880 The images, if you had the stomach to see them,

00:00:59.680 of the men, women, and children lying dead or foaming at the mouth.

00:01:04.000 That reportedly prompted the President to strike last year.

00:01:08.840 They were just as gruesome this year.

00:01:13.980 The UN has called for an emergency meeting for some time today,

00:01:16.860 but really, does anyone expect anything to actually come from the UN?

00:01:20.840 Again, when Assad used chemical weapons 12 months ago,

00:01:23.920 the UN Security Council was blocked from retaliation

00:01:27.160 by a veto from Russia.

00:01:29.180 It's going to be exactly the same scenario today,

00:01:31.540 and all eyes will then shift to President Trump,

00:01:33.940 who has to decide, do I act unilaterally?

00:01:36.980 That's what he did last year.

00:01:39.160 For the first time ever in a tweet sent yesterday,

00:01:41.600 the President called Putin out directly,

00:01:44.160 placing the blame squarely on his shoulders for,

00:01:46.580 quote, backing animal Assad, end quote.

00:01:51.160 Russia has responded in their typical Russian manner,

00:01:53.480 deny, deny, deny.

00:01:54.560 Russia apparently thinks the chemical attacks

00:01:56.980 just materialized out of thin air.

00:01:59.200 They say this is a false flag.

00:02:01.740 First in the UK, now in Syria. 0.99

00:02:05.240 Putin is in danger of becoming the international Alex Jones

00:02:09.020 with all of the false flags.

00:02:10.480 And the U.S. government is behind all of this conspiracy.

00:02:16.280 The next thing you know,

00:02:17.180 Putin is going to be ripping his shirt off on TV

00:02:18.880 while trying to sell you supplements.

00:02:20.260 I mean, it's getting that ridiculous.

00:02:24.220 So the question is now,

00:02:27.080 will Trump retaliate?

00:02:29.880 Should the President retaliate?

00:02:32.140 And what does it mean?

00:02:33.940 Eight missiles struck a Syrian airbase last night.

00:02:36.920 Russia has accused Israel for the attack.

00:02:39.460 We denied it.

00:02:40.980 No one has claimed responsibility yet.

00:02:43.040 But if the U.S. attack occurs,

00:02:45.600 it'll probably be after today's U.N. Security Council meeting.

00:02:50.240 Military action inside Syria has never been more dangerous.

00:02:54.460 Both Russia and Iranian military troops are all over the place.

00:02:58.680 Reports last night indicated Russian air defense units

00:03:01.520 were scrambling to prepare for an imminent U.S. attack.

00:03:04.280 If Russian soldiers die in a U.S. cruise missile strike,

00:03:08.320 this whole thing changes dramatically.

00:03:16.640 But I guess we can thank the Obama administration for this.

00:03:19.600 Susan Rice, do you remember when she and the rest of the Obama administration

00:03:22.440 promised us that Assad got rid of all of its chemical weapons,

00:03:26.160 that they had all been turned over to Russia?

00:03:28.380 And Putin was, you know, there to say, oh, no, we verified.

00:03:32.660 Do you remember all that?

00:03:33.620 Because it was supposedly a masterstroke in diplomacy

00:03:36.320 after the debacle of the infamous red line from President Obama.

00:03:41.300 Yes, they crossed his red line,

00:03:43.160 but he used that to have Assad's chemical weapons removed from the country.

00:03:47.980 And Putin saw to it.

00:03:50.200 Uh-huh.

00:03:50.660 Yet another lie from that administration.

00:03:54.860 Weren't these guys considered the grown-ups?

00:03:57.400 The responsible intellectuals when it came to foreign policy?

00:04:01.880 Take a look around at the world.

00:04:05.000 Libya is now a failed state.

00:04:07.420 Iran is taking over the entire Middle East. 1.00

00:04:10.600 And Assad is still using chemical weapons.

00:04:13.180 And apparently, now with Vladimir Putin's blessings.

00:04:16.600 We're in a war that's been undeclared.

00:04:19.040 Most Americans don't even know about it in Yemen.

00:04:23.020 This is what the grown-ups are responsible for?

00:04:27.860 Okay.

00:04:29.140 Thanks, President Obama.

00:04:39.180 It's Monday, April 9th.

00:04:41.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:43.180 Hey, Rob Brace, Jason Bertrillon,

00:04:45.840 who's our chief researcher and military expert,

00:04:50.800 former military intelligence,

00:04:52.660 who's been watching Russia and the Middle East

00:04:54.700 with me now for several years.

00:04:58.560 Where are we, Jason?

00:05:01.460 Massive headache.

00:05:03.520 It's John Bolton's first day on the job.

00:05:07.020 And they're saying, you know,

00:05:07.900 this is bad because he's a hawk.

00:05:10.100 Like, well, no, he was actually against the Syria thing.

00:05:13.620 He was against this.

00:05:15.060 Yeah.

00:05:15.280 Now, I'm...

00:05:16.540 The quote that you just picked out from...

00:05:19.600 What was that general?

00:05:20.960 That retired lieutenant general?

00:05:22.600 Yeah.

00:05:24.960 Archduke...

00:05:25.760 No, no, no.

00:05:26.400 Let's see here.

00:05:27.140 General Evgeny Bruinskij.

00:05:33.700 Yeah.

00:05:34.000 So, I think what he was referring to is...

00:05:36.860 So, the war to end all wars,

00:05:39.380 basically, is what the Cold War was supposed to materialize into,

00:05:42.080 which was World War III.

00:05:43.440 But the Cold War, like,

00:05:44.900 the things that we saw during the Cold War

00:05:46.500 were nothing compared to what's going on right now.

00:05:49.560 Like, the sanctions, all the threats,

00:05:52.260 all that stuff would have escalated the Cold War

00:05:54.360 into a whole other playing field.

00:05:56.900 But we're starting at that right now

00:05:59.100 as we go into this next Cold War.

00:06:01.520 So, it's already escalated.

00:06:03.620 And so, he was talking about...

00:06:05.220 I remember in one of the interviews he just did,

00:06:07.220 he said that, well, you know,

00:06:08.900 what would kick off actual kinetic confrontation?

00:06:11.660 And he straight up said,

00:06:13.060 well, the Syrian...

00:06:14.420 The conflict in Syria.

00:06:15.540 That's what will kick it off.

00:06:17.080 So, if we retaliate...

00:06:18.080 Let's say we retaliate,

00:06:19.140 and the area where this chemical attack happened,

00:06:21.420 where some of these things are happening,

00:06:22.460 is around the Damascus area.

00:06:24.920 So, if we strike towards Damascus,

00:06:27.360 Russian troops are all over the place there.

00:06:29.300 If we do that, then Russia will respond. 0.51

00:06:31.360 How will they respond?

00:06:32.460 Well, they'll start hitting our naval assets

00:06:34.460 that are in the Mediterranean,

00:06:36.740 in that area that launched the cruise missiles.

00:06:39.100 So, it'll be direct.

00:06:41.520 U.S. kinetic operations that will kill Russians, 0.68

00:06:45.620 and then Russians will respond 0.51

00:06:46.600 by attacking the United States Navy.

00:06:48.320 That will take this to a whole other level,

00:06:49.860 and I think that's what he was referring to.

00:06:51.300 There's no way we don't respond to an attack.

00:06:54.500 No way they don't respond to an attack.

00:06:56.660 I mean, Putin came out this weekend and said,

00:06:58.940 you know, this is not going to end well.

00:07:00.560 Don't do it.

00:07:01.560 Don't do it,

00:07:02.220 because we will have to respond back to you.

00:07:04.680 So, I don't know where we're headed,

00:07:09.840 but it doesn't seem to be any place good

00:07:12.500 in the Middle East.

00:07:14.520 This cycle has just got to stop.

00:07:16.300 I mean, it has just got to stop.

00:07:18.100 It has escalated beyond,

00:07:20.760 I mean, after the Cold War,

00:07:21.900 it kept on going.

00:07:23.320 But I would say after 9-11,

00:07:25.020 it has ramped up to a whole other level,

00:07:26.860 and it has got to stop.

00:07:27.660 We have got to put some restrictions

00:07:31.300 on where we're influencing the world,

00:07:34.880 where we're getting involved,

00:07:35.900 and all the things that we're doing.

00:07:36.860 Like, we don't have to,

00:07:37.380 I saw a quote from President Erdogan, Turkey,

00:07:41.060 that he, so he's been doing all kinds of,

00:07:43.200 he's basically invaded northern Syria,

00:07:45.320 and he's going after Kurds, killing Kurds,

00:07:47.980 but he had the audacity to call out the West

00:07:50.040 and say, if you don't respond to this,

00:07:51.980 then you just don't care about, you know,

00:07:53.360 Muggles, you don't care about the region. 1.00

00:07:55.140 Why?

00:07:55.460 Why is it always put on us to respond?

00:07:58.480 Like, you're trying,

00:07:59.160 Turkey is trying to get so involved right now.

00:08:00.800 Look, this is your backyard.

00:08:02.240 You need to respond to this.

00:08:04.140 This is, you know, this is your job.

00:08:05.860 This is not our job.

00:08:06.800 They don't want to respond

00:08:07.760 because they know that Iran is involved.

00:08:12.000 They need us to be the bad guys here

00:08:15.140 so they can sit on the sidelines

00:08:17.460 and not piss off everybody else in the neighborhood.

00:08:20.020 You're exactly right.

00:08:21.000 Everyone, because we're so involved in the region

00:08:23.440 over all the years,

00:08:24.600 everyone plays us off of everybody.

00:08:27.000 Yes.

00:08:27.180 You notice that.

00:08:27.760 Like, they call us the bad guys.

00:08:29.400 Iran calls us the bad guys.

00:08:30.600 Russia.

00:08:31.100 I mean, everyone plays us as the bad guys.

00:08:34.000 Now, if you notice,

00:08:34.600 all the meetings that are taking place right now

00:08:36.160 are between,

00:08:36.920 they're not even including us.

00:08:38.560 It's between Turkey, Iran, Russia, and Syria.

00:08:41.740 They're the ones that are doing all these talks

00:08:43.660 and they're coming up with all these, like, cooperation packs.

00:08:46.560 They're not even involving us,

00:08:47.820 but they're still playing us off of one another.

00:08:50.720 We need to get the heck out.

00:08:52.120 That's it.

00:08:52.740 The problem is,

00:08:53.760 is that we've set up the region now

00:08:55.360 to where Iran is completely going to take over. 0.52

00:08:57.560 They are.

00:08:58.180 Like, so if we were in this conundrum now

00:09:00.120 to where if we back out,

00:09:01.460 we basically just hand over the region to Iran.

00:09:03.900 And then what happens to Israel? 0.58

00:09:05.640 You're exactly right.

00:09:07.380 I mean, that's why Israel struck last night. 0.99

00:09:09.880 And it may be that Israel is our proxy in this.

00:09:13.780 I mean, I can't imagine it,

00:09:15.240 but maybe Israel becomes our proxy,

00:09:17.700 just like, you know, Syria is.

00:09:21.760 We're in a proxy war with Russia right now.

00:09:24.560 And here's something else.

00:09:26.220 The sanctions have hit Russia hard.

00:09:29.380 So if you were for sanctions,

00:09:32.740 and I am for sanctions,

00:09:34.340 this is,

00:09:35.440 this has stuck a stake,

00:09:39.820 not in their heart,

00:09:41.020 but in the chest cavity.

00:09:42.720 It is close.

00:09:44.580 We hit their aluminum industry,

00:09:47.740 which is very important to them.

00:09:50.080 What's happened?

00:09:51.420 Second largest aluminum company in the world.

00:09:53.740 Their shares have lost 50% of their value since Friday,

00:09:58.760 just off of U.S. sanctions.

00:10:00.620 That's it.

00:10:01.180 So imagine if GM lost 50% of its value

00:10:07.680 because of something Vladimir Putin did.

00:10:10.400 We wouldn't be happy.

00:10:12.340 It would not sit well.

00:10:13.900 That's not the only thing.

00:10:15.700 Tell me about the ruble.

00:10:16.820 So the ruble dropped to about 60 rubles per $1.

00:10:22.260 And that's the lowest it's been,

00:10:24.300 I think in a couple of years.

00:10:29.640 We have a cold war and a hot war,

00:10:34.840 but it's a proxy war going on at exactly the same time.

00:10:39.400 It is so easy to make a mistake here.

00:10:42.380 And if we make a mistake,

00:10:45.180 the world changes.

00:10:46.820 The world changes overnight.

00:10:48.460 I don't think people really truly understand.

00:10:51.560 And I'm going to do something on television tonight.

00:10:55.560 I need to spend 10 minutes with you

00:10:57.900 and laying it out on the chalkboard

00:11:00.240 of all of the things that are happening right now.

00:11:03.700 We all have come into this feeling of comfort

00:11:10.280 because the election happened.

00:11:13.800 And so half of the country trusts that,

00:11:16.680 you know,

00:11:17.280 the right half of the country will keep us secure.

00:11:21.240 Well,

00:11:21.760 the other half doesn't.

00:11:23.360 Well,

00:11:23.620 nothing really has changed.

00:11:26.180 Obama's proxy war in Yemen is still happening.

00:11:31.640 Obama's Syrian war is still happening.

00:11:35.200 The effects of Libya is still happening. 0.99

00:11:38.640 The,

00:11:38.900 the,

00:11:39.300 the corruption in Russia that we were dealing with 0.95

00:11:42.960 still happening.

00:11:44.240 All of these things that were going on,

00:11:47.040 they haven't stopped.

00:11:48.100 And in fact,

00:11:48.880 they're getting worse.

00:11:50.600 Now,

00:11:51.300 Trump is playing hardball,

00:11:54.440 which I generally support.

00:11:56.920 I think that,

00:11:58.860 you know,

00:11:59.140 I,

00:11:59.280 I want a president to make it very clear.

00:12:01.480 We know what happened to the world when the United States said,

00:12:05.020 eh,

00:12:05.360 you know,

00:12:05.800 well,

00:12:05.940 there's a red line,

00:12:06.760 but it's kind of a pinkish line.

00:12:08.600 And there is no actual,

00:12:10.400 I mean,

00:12:10.620 we live in a postmodern world.

00:12:12.120 There is no actual red.

00:12:13.820 Who are you to define red?

00:12:16.520 We know what happened.

00:12:18.220 We're paying that price now,

00:12:19.960 but we have to be really careful because everything seems to be,

00:12:25.600 coming into one really bad place.

00:12:29.480 And that includes China as well.

00:12:31.840 I'd love to get an answer from you,

00:12:33.200 Jason.

00:12:33.400 And I know you don't have one to the idea that how did Syria commit a 0.83

00:12:39.100 chemical weapons attack when there was a major international agreement

00:12:42.980 that disarmed Syria of its chemical weapons just a few years ago.

00:12:46.820 And Putin verified that those chemicals didn't exist.

00:12:49.520 Thank you.

00:12:49.960 It's been verified.

00:12:51.940 Obama,

00:12:52.640 Putin working together.

00:12:53.800 This was knocked out years ago.

00:12:55.660 And now all of a sudden they have them again.

00:12:57.300 How is that possible?

00:12:59.140 Unpossible.

00:12:59.820 It's unpossible.

00:13:01.580 Unpossible.

00:13:02.720 You fail English?

00:13:03.840 That's unpossible.

00:13:09.040 Thank you,

00:13:09.640 Jason.

00:13:09.900 I appreciate it.

00:13:10.560 Yeah.

00:13:11.880 Hey,

00:13:12.360 by the way,

00:13:13.000 what side does China come down on this? 0.94

00:13:16.180 Um,

00:13:16.660 I,

00:13:17.520 it's a good question.

00:13:18.660 I think that China will probably veto or I know I think that China will

00:13:23.000 probably abstain from any,

00:13:24.720 uh,

00:13:25.380 from any actual action.

00:13:26.640 If it went to hot war,

00:13:28.060 whose side are they on?

00:13:29.800 Uh,

00:13:30.080 they just actually did a military pact with,

00:13:32.520 uh,

00:13:32.720 with Russia.

00:13:33.320 Holy.

00:13:33.520 So they're signaling that that's where they're going.

00:13:36.200 Okay.

00:13:36.580 Thank you very much.

00:13:38.300 I don't know if I actually mean the thank you very much.

00:13:40.700 It might've been better if I could have lived in my blissful ignorance there on that.

00:13:45.460 All right.

00:13:47.200 Um,

00:13:47.680 what do you have for an emergency?

00:13:51.780 Do you know that,

00:13:52.820 um,

00:13:54.120 uh,

00:13:54.720 Venezuela was a very prosperous country,

00:13:56.980 had all kinds of,

00:13:58.020 uh,

00:13:58.520 oil and,

00:13:59.340 uh,

00:13:59.740 wealth.

00:14:00.200 And it was,

00:14:01.080 you know,

00:14:01.340 it was the shining example.

00:14:02.740 And then they went into socialism and the whole thing fell apart and they couldn't stop spending.

00:14:09.660 See if this sounds familiar.

00:14:11.160 And so they ran their economy into the ground.

00:14:13.800 Do you know what the average salary is now?

00:14:16.000 The average salary for somebody who's living in Venezuela,

00:14:21.440 a monthly salary.

00:14:23.180 What do you think it is?

00:14:25.880 Do you know what it is?

00:14:27.560 I want to screw you. 1.00

00:14:28.460 I would have screwed your bits so badly,

00:14:29.980 but no,

00:14:30.420 it's seven bucks,

00:14:31.720 seven bucks a month.

00:14:35.060 Uh,

00:14:35.300 that's why,

00:14:35.940 that's why,

00:14:36.600 um,

00:14:37.180 uh,

00:14:37.580 the average Venezuelan,

00:14:39.260 the average has lost 25 pounds in the last 12 months.

00:14:44.100 It's not a new diet program.

00:14:46.540 They're not getting healthy.

00:14:47.560 They're starving to death.

00:14:50.540 I want you to be prepared for any eventuality.

00:14:53.220 Uh,

00:14:53.700 I want you to go to,

00:14:54.780 uh,

00:14:54.980 my Patriot supply right now.

00:14:56.760 You can get a four week emergency food supply,

00:14:59.600 breakfast,

00:15:00.220 lunch,

00:15:00.760 dinner for $99.

00:15:04.680 Um,

00:15:05.160 they deliver it right to your home.

00:15:06.680 It's really good food.

00:15:08.640 Uh,

00:15:09.540 you know,

00:15:09.820 I have to tell you,

00:15:10.540 I,

00:15:10.700 I,

00:15:11.300 do you remember the,

00:15:12.240 do you remember this is like 15 years ago when people were eating dog food here in America?

00:15:17.900 The elderly were eating dog food.

00:15:21.480 This is such a good deal that I don't know why people don't,

00:15:26.160 um,

00:15:26.880 buy this and just live off of this,

00:15:29.520 you know,

00:15:29.860 in tough times.

00:15:30.680 I don't know.

00:15:31.980 Um,

00:15:32.420 maybe cause it's,

00:15:33.320 you know,

00:15:33.820 emergency.

00:15:34.560 Well,

00:15:34.740 that kind of seems like an emergency,

00:15:36.040 but it's a really good value.

00:15:37.520 It's very nutritious.

00:15:39.100 Uh,

00:15:39.560 and it is there for you for 25 years.

00:15:41.860 You save it for an emergency breakfast,

00:15:44.380 lunch,

00:15:44.600 and dinner,

00:15:45.240 $99 a month's worth of food.

00:15:47.900 Prepare with Glenn.com.

00:15:49.440 Prepare with Glenn.com.

00:15:50.940 800-200-7163.

00:15:53.420 800-200-7163.

00:15:55.960 Prepare with Glenn.com.

00:15:59.480 Glenn.

00:16:00.520 Beck.

00:16:01.480 Mercury.

00:16:05.940 Glenn Beck.

00:16:09.680 So I,

00:16:10.560 I touched on this a second ago that,

00:16:13.520 um,

00:16:14.700 there is a Chicago based equity firm specializing in real estate investment,

00:16:19.520 and they have sent letters to the city and the state of Connecticut cities and the state of Connecticut offering to spend $2 billion.

00:16:25.380 to purchase publicly owned office building health care facilities and transit related properties.

00:16:31.460 Anything else in the state and municipal governments might be willing to part with.

00:16:35.280 There is a catch.

00:16:36.360 They're insisting on 7.25% annual yield on the investment,

00:16:40.260 and they're going to do it by raising the rent and leasing the properties back to the city and the state.

00:16:45.820 So that will give them the,

00:16:48.580 uh,

00:16:49.040 the money that they are short for $2 billion.

00:16:52.300 Uh,

00:16:54.360 however,

00:16:55.420 how are they going to pay for this?

00:16:59.080 So they'll pay,

00:17:00.160 they'll,

00:17:00.360 they'll take this money,

00:17:01.560 they'll sell all of the assets,

00:17:03.340 but they'll continue to spend money until the,

00:17:07.760 until the,

00:17:08.700 the administration changes until you get fiscally responsible people in there.

00:17:14.760 And that doesn't mean necessarily Republicans until you get people who say,

00:17:19.120 look,

00:17:19.320 this,

00:17:19.640 this is a house of cards and it's just not going to work anymore.

00:17:23.800 You can't sell the assets and then spend it.

00:17:28.060 By the way,

00:17:29.500 uh,

00:17:29.880 the pension benefit guarantee corporation,

00:17:32.340 this is the equivalent to the,

00:17:34.440 you know,

00:17:34.940 FDIC.

00:17:36.640 This is the one that backs up all of the state and,

00:17:39.460 and,

00:17:39.960 uh,

00:17:40.220 and big pensions.

00:17:41.740 Uh,

00:17:42.620 it's completely insolvent already.

00:17:46.820 These pensions haven't really started to collapse yet.

00:17:49.380 And that's what's collapsing,

00:17:50.520 uh,

00:17:51.240 Connecticut.

00:17:51.980 So there's no money left to be able to grab these insolvent,

00:17:56.920 uh,

00:17:58.160 uh,

00:17:59.080 pensions.

00:18:00.180 That's what's going to collapse California.

00:18:02.500 That's what's going to collapse Illinois.

00:18:04.300 That's what's going to collapse,

00:18:05.380 uh,

00:18:06.400 Michigan and,

00:18:07.680 uh,

00:18:08.260 and,

00:18:08.700 and Connecticut and all of these other big States,

00:18:11.540 New York,

00:18:12.900 Pennsylvania.

00:18:13.660 And at that point too,

00:18:14.440 if those big States start falling,

00:18:16.180 even the States that have done it relatively right are going to fall.

00:18:19.420 Of course,

00:18:19.820 it's going to be pushed onto everybody else.

00:18:21.660 Yeah.

00:18:22.460 And they will,

00:18:23.080 what they'll end up doing is just printing money.

00:18:25.680 I mean,

00:18:26.240 it's,

00:18:26.480 it's,

00:18:26.740 this is not a happy scenario.

00:18:29.380 Now there,

00:18:30.560 there is some good news.

00:18:32.340 Every time I go out to California for the last few years,

00:18:37.460 I have told you there is something happening.

00:18:40.060 There is something happening in California.

00:18:42.780 And I am finding these people who are on the left and the right,

00:18:47.080 who are finally coming to common sense.

00:18:48.880 And they're going,

00:18:49.460 you know,

00:18:49.940 I've had deep,

00:18:51.500 deep,

00:18:51.840 deep,

00:18:52.140 deep,

00:18:52.400 deep liberals go,

00:18:53.420 you know,

00:18:53.720 I've taken a look at the 10th amendment.

00:18:55.240 And I think you guys were right on that.

00:18:57.160 Oh,

00:18:57.780 you think we've,

00:19:00.860 we've,

00:19:00.900 we're getting,

00:19:02.100 we're starting to see the UNAM come back and it's going to start happening in

00:19:08.040 the States that are the most under pressure.

00:19:12.360 If,

00:19:12.960 if there is a group of rock solid,

00:19:16.300 common sense people there now in California,

00:19:19.460 I think there's enough farming.

00:19:21.080 There's enough,

00:19:22.000 there's enough people in the rural areas that believe like this is out of

00:19:26.680 control.

00:19:27.080 There was a,

00:19:29.260 there was a story on Fox news and their op-ed section that,

00:19:36.920 you know,

00:19:37.400 they have Los Alamitos was the,

00:19:41.640 the community that said,

00:19:44.460 you know what?

00:19:45.460 No,

00:19:46.320 we are not going to be a,

00:19:48.520 a refugee city.

00:19:50.140 We're not going to be a sanctuary city.

00:19:53.300 We're not following California.

00:19:54.820 We're going to follow the federal government.

00:19:56.260 Well,

00:19:56.940 now there are several cities and towns all around California that are

00:20:02.580 starting to do this,

00:20:03.460 but it's lit the fire of something that I think has been smoldering in

00:20:08.960 California for a while.

00:20:10.220 And I want to talk about that a little later on the program,

00:20:12.360 but that,

00:20:13.240 that fire is common sense.

00:20:17.560 People standing up that understand what common sense is.

00:20:21.740 Mercury.

00:20:26.260 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:30.140 So it's Monday.

00:20:30.980 Let me share some good news with you.

00:20:35.580 A couple of weeks ago,

00:20:36.580 I had Chad and Logan Blythe on my television program.

00:20:40.160 It was on a world down syndrome day and Chad and his 15 year old son,

00:20:45.360 Logan,

00:20:45.620 they live in a place called Payson,

00:20:48.060 Utah and Chad and his wife,

00:20:50.100 Diane moved to Utah from Illinois four years ago because the schools were 1.00

00:20:55.980 better for,

00:20:56.640 for Logan and he had just better options.

00:20:59.940 Logan has down syndrome and he has been in the boy Scouts for the last four

00:21:05.200 years.

00:21:05.680 He has seen great improvement with his dexterity and also his speech because he

00:21:15.120 joined the boy Scouts.

00:21:16.320 He also is in special Olympics and his earned swimming medals and he joined the

00:21:23.540 boy Scouts and everybody understood what the deal was.

00:21:26.960 There are things that Logan can't do.

00:21:28.780 He,

00:21:29.060 he operates with the mentality of about a four or five year old and he needs,

00:21:35.860 you know,

00:21:35.980 special attention,

00:21:36.660 but he is completing things and he is,

00:21:39.780 he's not completing them necessarily to the exact handbook because he can't,

00:21:45.960 but he's completing them to the best of his ability.

00:21:48.500 Um,

00:21:49.620 and,

00:21:50.240 uh,

00:21:50.820 he's been earning merit badges.

00:21:53.120 Now this is all been understood.

00:21:56.260 Everybody in the boy Scouts understood this.

00:21:58.840 Uh,

00:21:59.380 and he was working his way to an Eagle.

00:22:01.760 Now he got all of the merit badges and did,

00:22:04.460 did the work at his level.

00:22:08.760 The scout masters,

00:22:10.200 they take a picture with him and,

00:22:13.200 uh,

00:22:13.720 it gets into the press and the national scouts see this and say,

00:22:18.040 this is,

00:22:18.620 this is wrong.

00:22:19.420 He,

00:22:19.960 he hasn't really completed anything.

00:22:21.680 He can't really be an Eagle.

00:22:24.560 Well,

00:22:25.040 that seems a little callous.

00:22:27.680 Uh,

00:22:28.240 and I'm not one for giving,

00:22:29.600 uh,

00:22:30.020 trophies to people who don't earn it,

00:22:32.040 but I think this is a little bit different.

00:22:35.440 Uh,

00:22:36.160 and,

00:22:36.880 uh,

00:22:37.280 and so they told him and his parents that there's no way that he's going to be able to,

00:22:43.380 um,

00:22:44.200 go on and be an Eagle and to take away all of the merit badges.

00:22:48.040 As you can imagine,

00:22:50.200 a boy who has been working for five years for that had started his Eagle project.

00:22:59.000 He didn't,

00:22:59.940 it,

00:23:00.260 it didn't,

00:23:00.620 it didn't go over well with the family.

00:23:03.120 So then what happens?

00:23:06.960 We find out about it.

00:23:08.400 It happened,

00:23:08.980 uh,

00:23:09.720 a while back.

00:23:10.540 We found out about it on,

00:23:11.940 um,

00:23:12.380 on,

00:23:13.680 uh,

00:23:14.140 um,

00:23:15.100 you know,

00:23:15.660 the,

00:23:15.960 uh,

00:23:16.200 down syndrome day and we bring the family on TV and we talk about it.

00:23:21.920 And there's been kind of an outcry from the local community.

00:23:26.140 And we have an update for you.

00:23:28.540 Chad is joining us now.

00:23:30.300 Um,

00:23:31.140 uh,

00:23:31.720 hello,

00:23:32.140 Chad,

00:23:32.360 how are you?

00:23:33.260 I'm doing well.

00:23:34.180 How are you?

00:23:34.820 Good boy.

00:23:35.540 Could we use some good news on a Monday?

00:23:38.060 Yes,

00:23:38.380 definitely.

00:23:39.620 So,

00:23:40.300 so tell me what happened since last we spoke.

00:23:43.180 Well,

00:23:43.680 approximately two weeks ago,

00:23:44.920 we actually met with the national commissioner of the BSA.

00:23:48.460 Uh,

00:23:48.900 he was very apologetic for everything that we've been going through here and

00:23:52.640 assured us that the merit badges that Logan has earned,

00:23:56.460 he has indeed earned and they still qualify.

00:23:59.180 And that Logan is,

00:24:01.700 uh,

00:24:02.400 has every right and will earn his Eagle Scout.

00:24:05.840 That's great.

00:24:07.040 Um,

00:24:07.800 and actually,

00:24:08.820 now,

00:24:09.020 now,

00:24:09.220 can you tell me what their concern was or what happened,

00:24:13.780 how this broke down and,

00:24:15.180 and how it was finally solved and what it means to them for future,

00:24:19.500 uh,

00:24:21.160 cases?

00:24:22.580 Well,

00:24:23.140 I'm not exactly a hundred percent sure what happened there.

00:24:26.300 They did indicate to me there was a bit of a miscarriage.

00:24:29.180 Discommunication within the national boy scout organization itself.

00:24:33.540 Um,

00:24:34.340 I wasn't entirely sure on that,

00:24:36.180 but I do know going forward for them,

00:24:39.080 they have already made several changes that will allow,

00:24:42.700 uh,

00:24:43.620 kids with special needs to actually request alternative merit badge

00:24:48.540 requirements,

00:24:49.460 not just alternative merit badges.

00:24:52.860 So for example,

00:24:54.040 if you have,

00:24:55.400 uh,

00:24:55.420 you know,

00:24:55.720 if you can't dive to the bottom of a pool,

00:24:57.520 you can actually request that it be substituted with maybe holding your

00:25:02.100 breath for five seconds underwater.

00:25:04.180 And this is not,

00:25:04.860 this is not for the average person.

00:25:06.600 This is for someone with down syndrome or,

00:25:08.760 you know,

00:25:09.420 or,

00:25:09.720 or significant disabilities.

00:25:12.120 Correct.

00:25:12.720 Yes,

00:25:13.040 it is,

00:25:13.580 uh,

00:25:13.980 not for a normal individual that can do those activities themselves.

00:25:17.880 It's for someone that has some kind of mental or physical handicap 1.00

00:25:22.020 that will not allow them to do so.

00:25:25.360 So Chad,

00:25:26.360 you know,

00:25:28.800 tell a story of,

00:25:30.720 of,

00:25:31.700 uh,

00:25:31.980 the other Eagles in the area when they,

00:25:34.920 when they found out about your son's case,

00:25:36.900 not just the Eagles in my area,

00:25:39.780 but across the country,

00:25:41.000 they were outraged.

00:25:42.520 Um,

00:25:43.000 many of them,

00:25:44.220 um,

00:25:45.740 volunteered their Eagle badges and Eagle scout awards to my son.

00:25:49.620 Uh,

00:25:50.580 I don't think I lost count at over a hundred.

00:25:52.680 Oh my gosh.

00:25:53.700 Yes.

00:25:54.040 They were more than,

00:25:55.720 more than forthcoming and supportive in our,

00:25:58.200 uh,

00:25:58.860 efforts here.

00:25:59.640 So,

00:26:00.000 um,

00:26:00.800 they've been great.

00:26:02.060 It was,

00:26:03.060 it's been amazing to see just how much they were willing to support us,

00:26:07.560 get behind us and just cheer us on.

00:26:09.800 Uh,

00:26:10.320 I think we had an Eagle scout as far away as,

00:26:12.940 uh,

00:26:14.040 uh,

00:26:14.340 London,

00:26:14.820 England offer their,

00:26:15.940 uh,

00:26:17.300 uh,

00:26:17.500 Eagle scout award.

00:26:18.800 That is really remarkable.

00:26:20.820 Really remarkable.

00:26:21.360 Yes,

00:26:21.560 quite.

00:26:22.400 So,

00:26:22.800 uh,

00:26:23.020 you broke it to your son,

00:26:24.140 the news.

00:26:24.640 How did he,

00:26:25.240 how did he take it?

00:26:26.820 He was fine with it.

00:26:28.380 Um,

00:26:28.740 right now we're in the middle of the special Olympic season here in Utah.

00:26:31.960 So he's principally focused there.

00:26:33.880 Uh,

00:26:34.160 two weeks ago,

00:26:34.760 he got his latest silver medal,

00:26:37.360 uh,

00:26:37.960 for basketball skills and,

00:26:39.600 uh,

00:26:39.880 swimming is coming up.

00:26:41.100 So he's got his mind focused more on that than anything else.

00:26:44.480 And I think once this is,

00:26:46.400 uh,

00:26:46.840 once the special Olympic season is over,

00:26:48.600 which is sometime around the middle of the summer out here in Utah,

00:26:51.280 um,

00:26:52.720 we'll probably readdress it with him,

00:26:54.640 see if he's interested or not.

00:26:55.900 But as it stands right now,

00:26:58.060 he's more focused on the special Olympics.

00:27:00.940 Chad,

00:27:01.040 thanks a lot.

00:27:01.520 I appreciate it.

00:27:02.460 Oh,

00:27:02.840 thank you.

00:27:03.480 You bet.

00:27:03.900 God bless.

00:27:04.300 So the,

00:27:19.040 uh,

00:27:19.380 Washington free beacon,

00:27:20.580 uh,

00:27:21.600 put together some clips about Syria.

00:27:25.320 Do we have those two?

00:27:26.740 Yes.

00:27:27.380 Uh,

00:27:27.920 the,

00:27:28.860 uh,

00:27:29.200 cause remember this chemical attack,

00:27:31.560 if you saw the pictures,

00:27:32.340 it was just horrifying,

00:27:33.260 but this chemical,

00:27:34.500 this chemical attack clearly did not happen because the last administration took care of this problem.

00:27:42.220 And in case you don't remember,

00:27:44.560 the Washington free beacon is here to remind you.

00:27:48.740 Dozens of people reportedly killed,

00:27:51.080 including at least 10 children,

00:27:53.000 hundreds of others injured.

00:27:54.240 And these numbers are very preliminary.

00:27:56.860 What caused this right now?

00:27:58.700 It's seen as a gas or chemical attack.

00:28:01.500 I think ultimately that president Obama is the big winner here.

00:28:05.140 He is a big,

00:28:06.540 big winner.

00:28:07.020 In my estimation,

00:28:07.980 it turns out we're getting chemical weapons out of Syria without having initiated the strike.

00:28:11.940 So what else are you talking about?

00:28:13.320 We've got the chemical weapons.

00:28:14.880 We've got,

00:28:15.420 we're getting the chemical weapons out of Syria.

00:28:17.300 Well, uh, Chris,

00:28:18.520 all you have to do is look at the fact that today,

00:28:20.980 the final 8% of chemical weapons,

00:28:23.100 uh,

00:28:23.320 were taken out of Syria.

00:28:24.580 We should commend the administration for the result that they got.

00:28:27.700 The removal of chemical weapons out of Syria is a substantial accomplishment.

00:28:33.060 We certainly worked with them in Syria to,

00:28:35.000 uh,

00:28:35.200 to bring all the chemical weapons out of Syria. 0.93

00:28:37.400 We struck a deal where we got 100% of the chemical weapons out.

00:28:40.960 100% of the declared chemical weapons out of Syria.

00:28:45.520 We kept chemical weapons or got chemical weapons out of the area.

00:28:50.080 We got,

00:28:51.340 as you know,

00:28:51.900 last year,

00:28:52.520 all the chemical weapons out of Syria.

00:28:54.920 Uh,

00:28:55.240 no small feat.

00:28:56.520 Syria eliminating its chemical weapons and ultimately having them destroyed by the international community.

00:29:04.500 Syria would still have a declared chemical weapons stockpile.

00:29:07.500 Right now,

00:29:07.960 they don't.

00:29:08.480 Right now,

00:29:09.000 Bashar al-Assad does not have a declared chemical weapons stockpile.

00:29:11.620 We removed that declared chemical weapons stockpile,

00:29:14.100 and we destroyed that declared chemical weapons stockpile,

00:29:16.400 which means that Bashar al-Assad can't use those chemical weapons against his own people.

00:29:20.080 And the purpose of the strike was to get the chemical weapons out of Syria.

00:29:24.300 Weapons of mass destruction are taken out of the zone of conflict.

00:29:28.120 And thank God we did that.

00:29:29.900 We are making real progress in Iraq and Syria.

00:29:33.820 And I mean real progress.

00:29:34.880 So if Russia can help us,

00:29:36.560 and it is right now,

00:29:38.180 Russia has helped to bring about the Iran nuclear agreement.

00:29:41.760 Russia helped get the chemical weapons out of Syria.

00:29:44.140 The destruction of the Syrian chemical weapons stockpile.

00:29:47.600 I would have,

00:29:48.820 I think,

00:29:49.580 made a bigger mistake

00:29:50.700 if I had said,

00:29:53.380 yeah,

00:29:54.580 chemical weapons,

00:29:56.140 uh,

00:29:56.740 that doesn't really change my calculus.

00:29:59.960 Hmm.

00:30:02.520 So now,

00:30:03.280 if you're sitting in a newsroom at CNN,

00:30:05.640 what do you do?

00:30:07.000 Seriously,

00:30:07.500 what do you do?

00:30:08.000 You're like,

00:30:09.040 well,

00:30:09.520 I believe the Obama administration,

00:30:11.000 when they said that they got rid of all the chemical weapons,

00:30:13.820 and now,

00:30:15.200 uh,

00:30:16.080 Russia is saying that

00:30:18.240 this is a false flag

00:30:20.640 because Syria didn't have any chemical weapons.

00:30:23.940 So,

00:30:24.260 who gassed these people?

00:30:28.640 How do you report on that news?

00:30:30.880 It's going to be really interesting

00:30:31.960 because the left,

00:30:32.980 who was saying,

00:30:34.320 uh,

00:30:34.680 we need to be super hard

00:30:36.140 on,

00:30:36.760 on,

00:30:37.260 uh,

00:30:38.300 on Syria,

00:30:39.480 and we need to take this seriously.

00:30:40.660 Now,

00:30:41.120 says the opposite,

00:30:42.440 right?

00:30:43.220 You've got the,

00:30:44.140 the people who were saying that there were no chemical weapons

00:30:46.600 now have to say there are chemical weapons

00:30:48.160 and Trump needs to deal with them

00:30:49.220 and take them seriously.

00:30:50.300 You have the big time Trump supporters

00:30:52.100 on kind of the conspiracy side

00:30:53.680 who have been saying the entire time

00:30:55.600 this is fake news,

00:30:56.720 there is no chemical attacks,

00:30:57.960 these are not attacks

00:30:58.860 done by Syria.

00:31:00.320 now have Trump

00:31:01.740 on the other side

00:31:02.380 who's being very tough

00:31:03.580 and speaking out

00:31:04.280 against not only this

00:31:05.440 but also Putin

00:31:06.420 which puts the left

00:31:07.420 in another difficult spot

00:31:08.660 because they're saying

00:31:09.460 he's not tough on Putin

00:31:10.420 but he's being tough on Putin.

00:31:11.840 This is insane.

00:31:13.980 This is insane.

00:31:16.380 Oh man,

00:31:17.120 I'm so glad

00:31:17.940 that you're tethered to the truth

00:31:19.360 otherwise I just don't know

00:31:20.940 where you would be now.

00:32:47.740 Glenn Beck Mercury.

00:32:55.820 Glenn Beck.

00:32:58.260 So there is now,

00:33:00.920 I can't believe I'm saying this,

00:33:03.300 and it's serious.

00:33:05.280 There is now a controversy

00:33:07.040 with the storylines

00:33:08.760 of The Simpsons.

00:33:12.420 You know,

00:33:13.160 the cartoon.

00:33:15.520 Apparently people are upset now

00:33:17.280 at Apu's character.

00:33:20.880 He is the Indian character

00:33:22.820 that owns a convenience store.

00:33:25.180 I know.

00:33:26.240 I know.

00:33:26.760 You can't say that

00:33:27.320 they're good business owners.

00:33:28.540 Well, you know.

00:33:29.220 How dare you?

00:33:29.620 No.

00:33:30.040 Are you saying all Indians

00:33:31.440 are competent business owners?

00:33:32.800 No, that's what

00:33:33.520 Hillary Clinton said.

00:33:34.580 Oh, yeah.

00:33:35.420 That's right.

00:33:36.820 And Joe Biden.

00:33:37.840 And Joe Biden.

00:33:38.740 Yes.

00:33:39.180 Yes.

00:33:39.580 You can hardly go anywhere now

00:33:40.980 into a convenience store

00:33:41.940 without somebody from India.

00:33:43.540 Joe Biden,

00:33:44.480 Hillary Clinton.

00:33:45.980 Anyway,

00:33:46.800 so here is,

00:33:47.940 they addressed it last night

00:33:49.420 on The Simpsons.

00:33:50.160 Yeah, there was a documentary,

00:33:51.080 first of all,

00:33:51.520 that it's called

00:33:52.360 The Problem with Apu.

00:33:53.660 Apparently,

00:33:54.200 I've not seen it,

00:33:55.100 unfortunately.

00:33:55.760 But it says that basically

00:33:56.800 it's okay to make fun

00:33:58.540 of certain groups.

00:34:00.740 And for example,

00:34:01.220 they're saying Indians,

00:34:02.320 right,

00:34:02.640 where like we see everyone,

00:34:03.800 if they put a black character

00:34:05.320 on that would,

00:34:06.480 had a black voice

00:34:07.500 and had black stereotypes,

00:34:09.140 no one would agree with it.

00:34:10.440 But Apu,

00:34:11.480 because he's Indian

00:34:12.240 with Indian stereotypes

00:34:13.160 and an Indian voice

00:34:14.240 voiced by a white guy,

00:34:15.740 that's totally fine.

00:34:16.900 That's their point.

00:34:17.920 So,

00:34:18.640 they addressed this

00:34:20.460 in the storyline 0.95

00:34:21.780 of The Simpsons last night.

00:34:23.340 Well,

00:34:23.600 what am I supposed to do?

00:34:25.580 It's hard to say.

00:34:26.800 Something that started

00:34:27.820 decades ago

00:34:28.760 and was applauded

00:34:29.860 and inoffensive

00:34:30.640 is now politically incorrect.

00:34:32.860 What can you do?

00:34:34.600 Some things will be dealt

00:34:35.860 with at a later date.

00:34:37.520 If at all.

00:34:39.260 And there's a picture of Apu,

00:34:40.680 as they say that,

00:34:41.320 they look at the picture

00:34:42.200 of Apu on the side.

00:34:44.180 And their point being like,

00:34:45.320 yeah,

00:34:45.500 like this is how it started.

00:34:46.580 Everyone was fine

00:34:47.620 with it at the time.

00:34:49.080 And now,

00:34:49.860 all of a sudden,

00:34:50.400 it's turned into

00:34:51.440 something that

00:34:52.820 has become

00:34:54.580 offensive.

00:34:56.020 Right.

00:34:56.320 And you have to remember

00:34:57.240 25 years.

00:35:00.380 Yeah.

00:35:00.740 This has been going on

00:35:01.420 for 25 years.

00:35:03.060 How old were you

00:35:03.680 when you were 25 years ago?

00:35:06.360 Yes,

00:35:06.920 exactly.

00:35:07.660 Very young.

00:35:10.460 Think of the mistakes

00:35:11.460 you were making.

00:35:12.280 And now,

00:35:13.380 we're having to decide

00:35:16.380 what is offensive,

00:35:17.500 what isn't

00:35:17.980 on something

00:35:18.340 that's 25 years old.

00:35:19.680 And quite honestly,

00:35:21.660 I mean,

00:35:23.220 I don't care.

00:35:24.920 Jeez,

00:35:25.380 look what they have done

00:35:26.620 to white people.

00:35:28.120 Look at how much

00:35:29.320 you made fun of white people.

00:35:30.920 White men, 0.98

00:35:32.440 Mormons,

00:35:33.460 people of religion.

00:35:35.060 Oh, yeah.

00:35:35.440 Mormons is a great one.

00:35:36.520 I mean,

00:35:36.700 the left can't put

00:35:38.460 enough praise

00:35:39.200 on whatever musical

00:35:40.280 that is

00:35:40.740 taking on Mormons. 0.92

00:35:42.560 They love it.

00:35:43.320 They made it

00:35:43.700 the best musical

00:35:44.220 of the year.

00:35:45.200 It's touring

00:35:45.880 all over the country.

00:35:46.960 Right.

00:35:47.240 And they love it.

00:35:49.420 It's part of

00:35:50.280 what happens

00:35:51.120 in this country.

00:35:52.400 And get over it.

00:35:53.500 Yeah.

00:35:53.820 The funny thing,

00:35:54.540 everyone should be able

00:35:55.600 to be a target.

00:35:56.200 If you're a target,

00:35:57.380 it's okay.

00:35:58.340 As long as you're

00:35:58.960 a target for everybody.

00:36:00.320 You know,

00:36:00.640 like there are obviously,

00:36:02.380 there are some things

00:36:04.740 that we're going to see

00:36:06.180 as offensive now.

00:36:07.100 And these things

00:36:07.480 do change over time.

00:36:08.500 But to sit here

00:36:09.020 and they're upset

00:36:09.860 at that response

00:36:10.780 because they wanted

00:36:11.860 it to be addressed.

00:36:12.600 I think they wanted

00:36:13.260 Apu executed.

00:36:14.160 I think that was

00:36:14.760 the only thing

00:36:15.180 that would actually

00:36:16.380 accept him.

00:36:16.700 No, I think they wanted

00:36:17.020 him to execute others.

00:36:19.040 Right.

00:36:19.420 There you go.

00:36:20.060 They just want him

00:36:20.560 to not do the things

00:36:22.280 he's done.

00:36:23.360 So what do you do

00:36:23.840 with that?

00:36:24.540 He becomes a character

00:36:26.260 that only...

00:36:28.020 Is a positive...

00:36:28.880 He becomes a doctor.

00:36:30.920 And a brain surgeon.

00:36:31.900 Hank Azarian loses his gig.

00:36:33.580 You give Apu a job.

00:36:35.020 An Indian actor

00:36:36.000 comes in and plays Apu

00:36:37.180 and he only says

00:36:38.540 really boring

00:36:39.300 motivational things.

00:36:41.360 That's what they did

00:36:41.800 with the SAT scores.

00:36:43.120 The SAT,

00:36:43.500 there was this thing.

00:36:44.360 I read a book

00:36:44.820 about the SATs

00:36:45.540 before I took it

00:36:46.160 and what happened

00:36:47.200 was African Americans

00:36:47.980 complained about the test

00:36:49.760 and said that they're

00:36:50.360 not culturally equal.

00:36:52.420 So they put a bunch

00:36:53.460 of questions in

00:36:54.020 about African American

00:36:54.780 culture.

00:36:55.780 And there's the book

00:36:56.940 that told me

00:36:57.600 how to prep for the test.

00:36:59.920 I was going to say cheat

00:37:00.580 but really it's not a cheat.

00:37:01.860 But it said

00:37:02.200 if it's an option

00:37:04.220 it will never be bad

00:37:05.680 for African Americans

00:37:06.520 because they put

00:37:07.020 all the questions in.

00:37:08.820 So you can eliminate

00:37:09.980 the things that look bad

00:37:11.160 out of the answers

00:37:12.300 because you know

00:37:12.980 it's going to be positive

00:37:13.820 and it's true.

00:37:14.760 At least back then it was.

00:37:21.280 Glenn Beck.

00:37:23.320 Mercury.

00:37:30.020 Love.

00:37:31.240 Courage.

00:37:32.920 Truth.

00:37:34.640 Glenn Beck.

00:37:36.180 Remember 2016

00:37:37.340 the Berlin Christmas

00:37:38.340 market attack

00:37:39.260 where ISIS claimed

00:37:40.400 responsibility

00:37:41.000 and they took a truck

00:37:42.640 and they just

00:37:44.660 they drove it

00:37:45.480 into a busy crowd

00:37:46.400 at Christmas time.

00:37:47.400 The man it turned out

00:37:48.840 was a Tunisian

00:37:50.040 illegal immigrant

00:37:50.740 who was able

00:37:51.480 to elude police

00:37:52.420 for months

00:37:53.220 as he traversed

00:37:54.380 Europe and incited

00:37:55.560 riots at

00:37:56.380 migrant holding centers.

00:37:58.200 He killed 12 people

00:37:59.480 that day.

00:38:00.580 Injured 56.

00:38:02.440 After his bloody

00:38:03.200 murder streak

00:38:04.020 he was able to make

00:38:04.960 it to Italy

00:38:05.520 before the police

00:38:06.380 there shot him.

00:38:08.420 So the jihadist 0.92

00:38:09.180 is dead

00:38:09.680 but his legacy

00:38:10.820 apparently lives on.

00:38:12.680 On Sunday

00:38:13.260 a few of his friends

00:38:14.680 led a failed attack

00:38:16.300 on a half marathon

00:38:17.880 in Berlin.

00:38:18.920 Now this is really important.

00:38:20.220 There was a shooting

00:38:20.880 that happened in Berlin

00:38:22.240 the day before

00:38:23.560 and it was a mass shooting.

00:38:26.100 Wait a minute

00:38:26.380 I thought it was hard

00:38:26.980 to get guns in.

00:38:28.040 Oh pay no attention.

00:38:29.940 The police came out

00:38:30.920 and said look

00:38:31.360 this is a white guy.

00:38:32.640 People were trying to

00:38:33.600 make it into a

00:38:35.100 nationalist

00:38:35.960 kind of Nazi thing

00:38:37.340 and the police

00:38:38.960 immediately came out

00:38:39.800 and said no

00:38:40.220 this guy was

00:38:41.060 seriously disturbed

00:38:42.340 he had mental

00:38:43.100 health disorders.

00:38:44.720 What a surprise.

00:38:47.200 But then the next day

00:38:48.420 the police

00:38:52.160 buckled down

00:38:53.340 and were watching

00:38:54.520 an event

00:38:55.040 that they were

00:38:56.000 I'm quoting the police

00:38:57.780 isolated indications

00:38:59.200 that those arrested

00:39:00.880 aged between

00:39:01.520 19 and 21 years old

00:39:03.380 were participating

00:39:04.460 in the preparation

00:39:05.500 of a crime

00:39:06.160 in connection

00:39:06.940 with this big event.

00:39:08.380 So the terrorists

00:39:09.720 were deciding

00:39:10.860 that they were going

00:39:11.540 to go in and kill

00:39:12.220 a bunch of people

00:39:12.940 and they were caught

00:39:14.420 at the last minute.

00:39:16.060 They were planning

00:39:17.020 on using knives

00:39:18.660 for the foiled attack.

00:39:23.060 When asked about

00:39:23.960 the suspects

00:39:24.500 police spokesmen said

00:39:25.360 that they were very

00:39:26.140 vague indications

00:39:27.460 but because of

00:39:29.460 the high threat level

00:39:30.640 we immediately

00:39:31.160 started with our

00:39:32.400 police searches

00:39:33.260 and arrests

00:39:34.060 but at the moment

00:39:35.100 there are really

00:39:35.780 no concrete indications

00:39:36.940 that an attack

00:39:37.960 on the Berlin

00:39:38.520 half marathon

00:39:39.280 was foreseen.

00:39:41.120 Thankfully

00:39:41.720 the plot

00:39:42.600 was foiled

00:39:43.360 and no one

00:39:44.080 was injured

00:39:44.720 or killed.

00:39:49.540 Knives.

00:39:50.600 Oh that reminds me

00:39:52.040 London is

00:39:52.960 talking now

00:39:54.240 about banning

00:39:54.900 knives.

00:39:55.420 Of course

00:39:57.240 the four people

00:39:57.980 who died

00:39:58.540 and the 30

00:39:59.280 who were injured

00:40:00.460 in Münster,

00:40:01.620 Germany on Saturday

00:40:02.700 mowed down

00:40:03.340 by a car

00:40:04.060 that hit that

00:40:04.680 crowd of people.

00:40:06.000 They were not

00:40:06.660 so lucky

00:40:07.220 but I'll take

00:40:08.860 the good

00:40:09.400 over the bad.

00:40:21.000 It's Monday

00:40:21.840 April 9th.

00:40:23.120 This is the

00:40:23.780 Glenn Beck Program.

00:40:24.560 So I don't know

00:40:27.020 if you saw

00:40:27.420 the hero

00:40:28.720 of the Parkland

00:40:30.380 shooting

00:40:30.800 got out of

00:40:31.540 the hospital

00:40:31.980 and what he said

00:40:33.080 we'll go over

00:40:33.680 that here

00:40:34.040 in a few minutes

00:40:34.600 he was very

00:40:35.800 very clear

00:40:36.580 that everybody

00:40:38.040 is letting

00:40:38.680 the victims

00:40:39.800 in the school

00:40:40.780 and you know

00:40:41.960 future victims

00:40:42.780 down

00:40:43.200 because they're

00:40:44.240 not actually

00:40:44.880 taking any

00:40:45.540 concrete steps

00:40:46.380 and he spoke

00:40:47.240 about the

00:40:47.800 sheriff's department

00:40:48.580 and this

00:40:50.080 promise

00:40:51.200 where they

00:40:52.480 weren't going

00:40:52.980 to prosecute

00:40:55.540 anybody

00:40:55.900 who broke

00:40:57.620 the law

00:40:58.140 at school.

00:40:59.080 We'll talk

00:40:59.780 about that

00:41:00.260 but I wanted

00:41:01.120 to get David

00:41:01.740 Hogg on

00:41:02.440 with us.

00:41:03.880 Now David

00:41:04.880 Hogg is

00:41:05.340 obviously a

00:41:06.220 very controversial

00:41:07.220 figure

00:41:07.960 and has

00:41:10.240 stirred up

00:41:11.620 an awful

00:41:12.360 lot of

00:41:13.340 passion

00:41:15.800 on both

00:41:16.760 sides

00:41:17.240 but that's

00:41:19.060 not the

00:41:19.400 David Hogg

00:41:19.960 we're talking

00:41:20.500 to.

00:41:21.460 This is the

00:41:21.940 David Hogg

00:41:22.760 that is

00:41:23.640 receiving

00:41:24.140 death threats

00:41:25.740 and his

00:41:26.840 parents are

00:41:27.420 being threatened

00:41:27.980 and he

00:41:30.120 is constantly

00:41:30.900 being mistaken

00:41:31.860 for the

00:41:32.460 other David

00:41:33.180 Hogg

00:41:33.580 and he

00:41:34.060 wrote a

00:41:34.440 powerful

00:41:35.200 op-ed

00:41:36.940 in the

00:41:37.380 Wall Street

00:41:37.760 Journal

00:41:38.040 last week

00:41:38.740 where he

00:41:39.400 says I

00:41:40.240 support gun

00:41:40.900 rights

00:41:41.240 and I'm

00:41:41.860 David Hogg.

00:41:42.780 Welcome to

00:41:43.440 the program

00:41:43.860 David.

00:41:44.180 How are you?

00:41:45.280 Good.

00:41:45.820 How are you?

00:41:47.100 Good.

00:41:47.500 So tell

00:41:48.820 me your

00:41:49.160 story

00:41:49.560 when this

00:41:50.620 broke

00:41:50.960 and David

00:41:51.360 Hogg

00:41:51.620 started being

00:41:52.260 as vocal

00:41:52.900 as he

00:41:54.080 was

00:41:54.580 what started

00:41:55.620 to happen

00:41:56.660 to your

00:41:57.080 life?

00:41:59.240 Well it

00:41:59.860 was kind

00:42:00.480 of an

00:42:00.720 awful time

00:42:01.360 for that

00:42:02.040 to happen

00:42:02.540 because a

00:42:03.380 lot of

00:42:03.600 things I

00:42:04.060 was doing

00:42:04.380 a lot of

00:42:04.700 things in

00:42:05.000 my life

00:42:05.320 at the

00:42:05.540 time I

00:42:05.840 was getting

00:42:06.160 my learner's

00:42:07.680 permit I

00:42:08.500 was applying

00:42:08.980 for a

00:42:09.740 new bank

00:42:10.080 checking

00:42:10.480 account I

00:42:11.200 was getting

00:42:11.480 a job

00:42:12.140 I go to

00:42:13.120 college so

00:42:13.880 I'm here to

00:42:14.560 learn I'm not

00:42:15.100 here to have

00:42:15.560 people ask me

00:42:16.160 about questions

00:42:16.680 all the time

00:42:17.280 about the

00:42:17.740 news but

00:42:18.960 it was just

00:42:19.760 people constantly

00:42:21.020 like oh are

00:42:23.000 you the David

00:42:23.440 Hogg in

00:42:23.780 Florida and

00:42:24.480 at first it

00:42:25.760 wasn't a lot

00:42:26.280 of people but

00:42:26.840 then as he

00:42:27.700 kept getting on

00:42:28.300 the air and

00:42:28.880 more people had

00:42:29.520 a chance of

00:42:30.020 seeing him then

00:42:31.300 it became more

00:42:31.940 of a everyday

00:42:33.080 thing and

00:42:33.740 people were

00:42:34.360 responding to

00:42:36.400 all our

00:42:37.720 pictures like

00:42:38.780 not just my

00:42:39.400 pictures but my

00:42:40.020 family's pictures

00:42:40.660 on social media

00:42:41.600 asking questions

00:42:43.200 making comments

00:42:44.520 rude comments

00:42:45.400 and things like

00:42:46.760 that they

00:42:47.360 wouldn't actually

00:42:47.860 say in person

00:42:48.560 so I get

00:42:49.920 this you know

00:42:51.300 all the time

00:42:52.280 people say

00:42:52.980 oh you the

00:42:54.080 Leonardo DiCaprio

00:42:55.060 from the movies

00:42:55.760 and I'll say

00:42:56.420 no I just look

00:42:57.240 a lot like him

00:42:57.880 I mean that

00:42:59.020 happens a lot

00:43:00.160 of the time

00:43:01.260 and you can't

00:43:01.740 do anything

00:43:02.500 about mistaken

00:43:03.160 identity however

00:43:04.100 this turned

00:43:05.360 into trouble

00:43:07.320 for you and

00:43:08.300 your family

00:43:08.840 yeah so

00:43:11.840 I actually went

00:43:13.740 off social media

00:43:14.380 for a time

00:43:14.900 I came back

00:43:15.760 but like people

00:43:17.460 were taking our

00:43:18.100 photos offline

00:43:18.900 and editing them

00:43:19.700 and like putting

00:43:20.640 hog noses on them

00:43:21.520 which wasn't a

00:43:22.020 big deal but

00:43:22.720 putting like

00:43:23.260 anti-semitic

00:43:24.400 things and my

00:43:25.500 family's not

00:43:26.080 Jewish we have

00:43:27.080 nothing against

00:43:27.580 Jewish people but 0.97

00:43:28.340 that's just rude

00:43:29.520 for anybody to

00:43:30.440 have to see

00:43:30.980 people were

00:43:32.600 stopping my

00:43:33.140 little brother

00:43:33.680 because I used

00:43:34.460 to go to school

00:43:34.920 at my little

00:43:35.280 brother's school

00:43:35.920 and asking if

00:43:37.000 I was

00:43:37.580 if the David

00:43:39.380 Hogg in the

00:43:39.780 news was his

00:43:40.320 older brother

00:43:40.900 which didn't

00:43:41.920 make a whole

00:43:42.240 lot of sense

00:43:42.600 either because

00:43:43.180 why would I

00:43:43.820 be in Florida

00:43:44.340 and he would

00:43:44.720 be in Charlotte

00:43:45.320 so so

00:43:48.800 you wrote

00:43:50.280 this op-ed

00:43:51.320 to the Wall

00:43:52.040 Street Journal

00:43:52.500 how did that

00:43:53.340 come about

00:43:53.920 and then I

00:43:54.300 want to talk

00:43:54.660 to you a

00:43:54.880 little bit

00:43:55.100 about it

00:43:55.720 um they

00:43:57.820 actually responded

00:43:59.300 to me on

00:43:59.860 Twitter after I

00:44:00.540 posted a few

00:44:01.120 things on

00:44:01.640 Twitter um

00:44:03.220 and asked me

00:44:04.140 to write it

00:44:04.620 and I I did

00:44:05.640 well it was

00:44:06.960 it's really

00:44:07.640 um well

00:44:08.660 written and

00:44:09.660 uh in it

00:44:10.520 you talk about

00:44:11.580 that you are

00:44:12.980 uh not for

00:44:14.320 gun control

00:44:15.060 uh you're the

00:44:16.120 opposite of uh

00:44:17.140 the other David

00:44:17.960 Hogg and you

00:44:19.020 said there are

00:44:19.420 other things that

00:44:20.140 we should be

00:44:20.820 doing you want

00:44:22.260 to share some

00:44:22.880 of that

00:44:23.220 yeah I feel

00:44:25.640 like more of

00:44:26.300 the issue is

00:44:26.840 education um

00:44:28.640 I think that

00:44:29.660 gun education

00:44:31.700 should almost

00:44:32.280 be like CPR

00:44:33.600 education so

00:44:34.480 like in your

00:44:34.900 health class

00:44:35.460 or some some

00:44:36.140 other class

00:44:36.680 you should have

00:44:37.380 to learn about

00:44:38.000 um what to do

00:44:39.500 in a situation

00:44:40.140 when you see

00:44:41.200 a gun or when

00:44:42.020 somebody approaches

00:44:42.800 you with a gun

00:44:43.600 or things like

00:44:44.740 that so people

00:44:46.180 just know more

00:44:47.380 and then when

00:44:48.660 you're procuring

00:44:49.480 a gun maybe

00:44:51.320 maybe more

00:44:52.200 background checks

00:44:52.980 but that's the

00:44:54.480 main issue is

00:44:55.160 just education

00:44:55.880 and knowing how

00:44:56.880 to use one

00:44:57.440 knowing what

00:44:58.160 to do if you

00:44:58.580 see one

00:44:59.080 and then like

00:45:00.580 even like little

00:45:01.940 children like

00:45:02.460 elementary school

00:45:03.020 kids like knowing

00:45:04.160 not to play with

00:45:04.980 that knowing that

00:45:05.640 that's not a

00:45:06.540 nurse gun and

00:45:07.200 you can't point

00:45:07.740 that at somebody

00:45:08.300 else um do you

00:45:10.020 have guns in

00:45:10.520 your home yes

00:45:12.580 my father has

00:45:13.300 guns and you and

00:45:14.260 so do you go

00:45:14.880 shooting with him

00:45:15.660 or are they for

00:45:16.340 security or for I

00:45:18.060 mean are you

00:45:19.100 coming from a

00:45:19.760 gun home uh

00:45:22.360 yes I have my

00:45:23.500 dad has taught

00:45:24.300 me all there is

00:45:24.960 to know well all

00:45:26.240 that I need to

00:45:26.740 know about guns

00:45:27.280 at my age and

00:45:28.360 uh we don't do

00:45:30.140 as much shooting

00:45:30.840 as maybe we

00:45:32.040 would like but

00:45:32.780 we don't shoot

00:45:33.740 in the city

00:45:34.260 and uh you guys

00:45:35.900 members of the

00:45:36.520 NRA no we're

00:45:39.140 not okay um

00:45:40.800 well it's a good

00:45:41.460 thing that your

00:45:41.920 clothes aren't

00:45:42.440 soaked in blood

00:45:43.440 then um the um

00:45:45.760 uh you you said

00:45:47.880 look I I stand

00:45:48.780 for the second

00:45:49.320 amendment but I

00:45:50.420 also stand for the

00:45:51.600 other David Hoggs

00:45:52.520 first amendment

00:45:53.400 yes you want to

00:45:56.560 expand on that a

00:45:57.380 bit well I stand

00:46:00.380 for everybody's

00:46:01.160 right to free

00:46:01.900 speech and I

00:46:02.620 feel like the

00:46:03.020 only way we'll

00:46:03.520 ever get anything

00:46:04.160 done in this

00:46:04.640 country is if we

00:46:05.820 acknowledge each

00:46:06.560 other's opinions

00:46:07.320 and change on

00:46:09.320 both sides not

00:46:10.580 everyone can always

00:46:11.360 be right especially

00:46:12.260 with differing

00:46:12.880 views um you

00:46:16.600 you wrote uh

00:46:17.520 people who aren't

00:46:18.340 willing to budge

00:46:19.040 from their goal

00:46:19.640 make it harder for

00:46:20.540 change to occur uh

00:46:22.780 and uh some of

00:46:24.400 David Hogg's recent

00:46:25.360 actions like calling

00:46:26.320 sponsors to stop

00:46:27.220 advertising on a

00:46:28.060 commenter's program

00:46:28.880 because she was rude 1.00

00:46:30.020 to him come across

00:46:30.800 as bullying

00:46:31.440 yes I don't think I

00:46:36.200 I was bullied in my

00:46:37.140 life and I don't

00:46:38.300 find bullying an

00:46:39.060 acceptable way to

00:46:40.020 have anything done

00:46:41.160 I feel like that's

00:46:42.320 actually gonna even

00:46:44.060 if your cause is

00:46:44.900 good that's gonna

00:46:46.240 make people not like

00:46:47.280 your cause as much

00:46:48.020 because of how you're

00:46:49.300 representing it and

00:46:50.520 how you're trying to

00:46:51.220 get things accomplished

00:46:52.280 you you say teenagers

00:46:54.520 are smart but we

00:46:55.660 certainly don't have

00:46:56.260 all of the answers

00:46:57.320 I'd like to see him

00:46:58.960 uh soften his tone

00:47:00.500 and be more respectful

00:47:01.580 in delivering his

00:47:02.540 message

00:47:02.980 yes uh well we

00:47:06.940 haven't gone through

00:47:07.600 everything we've we've

00:47:08.580 been in school our

00:47:09.420 whole lives but we

00:47:10.720 haven't experienced

00:47:11.440 the real real world

00:47:12.940 yet we haven't

00:47:13.900 experienced the entire

00:47:14.960 realm of politics

00:47:16.120 um he's just just now

00:47:18.600 getting into like

00:47:19.280 journalism and

00:47:19.920 everything and that's

00:47:20.960 fine but there are

00:47:22.640 plenty of people who

00:47:23.920 know a lot more about

00:47:25.140 what he's trying to do

00:47:26.800 than him and plenty of

00:47:28.640 people who know a lot

00:48:09.900 talked about um

00:48:12.080 education shooting

00:48:14.860 education at school I've

00:48:16.080 got an amazing story and

00:48:17.680 an artifact I have to go

00:48:18.640 up to the the vault and

00:48:19.820 and uh pull it out of the

00:48:21.780 archives uh but I got to

00:48:23.660 share a story with you

00:48:24.400 that will blow your mind

00:48:25.460 on how much the world has

00:48:27.620 changed uh since the

00:48:29.300 progressive era began

00:48:30.360 coming up in just a few

00:48:32.260 minutes all right I want

00:48:33.620 to talk to you a little

00:48:34.280 bit about a uh a new

00:48:35.920 sponsor and this is a this

00:48:37.580 is a sponsor that um came

00:48:40.440 to my attention because we

00:48:42.580 went out and looked for we

00:48:44.520 went out and looked for

00:48:45.580 people that understood

00:48:47.020 uh cryptocurrencies and

00:48:48.740 bitcoin and so we looked

00:48:50.580 uh for somebody that could

00:48:52.460 explain them how they work

00:48:54.500 uh why they you know why

00:48:57.360 they work what they face you

00:48:59.340 know is it going to go up or

00:49:00.320 down etc etc I don't know

00:49:02.800 everything uh about

00:49:04.200 cryptocurrencies and and so

00:49:06.360 many people have asked us

00:49:08.020 about this and I even with

00:49:10.260 what's happening with

00:49:11.000 cryptocurrencies now I'm

00:49:12.980 still up uh what what are

00:49:15.560 you up Stu about eight

00:49:16.600 times your money if you

00:49:17.940 would have put 50 bucks in

00:49:19.360 I think we're still up eight

00:49:20.820 times yeah I mean you know

00:49:22.320 I think it started the last

00:49:23.620 year at a thousand and now

00:49:25.360 it's still people like oh

00:49:26.460 the bubbles crash it's still

00:49:27.820 up seven times you're up

00:49:30.120 seven times your money

00:49:31.480 instead of bubble popping I

00:49:33.640 mean I I guess if you

00:49:34.880 invested at the peak you

00:49:35.960 know but still it's a lot of

00:49:37.500 people made a lot of money

00:49:38.460 on this right so and I

00:49:39.900 don't know what's going to

00:49:40.740 happen and I don't think

00:49:41.900 anybody really knows but um

00:49:44.360 we found somebody who the

00:49:45.640 industry says is really the

00:49:47.920 best guy um that can

00:49:49.820 explain it uh and make it

00:49:52.280 easy to understand and help

00:49:54.480 you through this uh his name

00:49:56.340 is Tika Tiwari and he's from

00:49:57.760 the Palm Beach letter he's a

00:49:59.200 former Wall Street hedge fund

00:50:00.440 manager who has helped more

00:50:02.060 people profit from

00:50:02.920 cryptocurrencies than anybody

00:50:04.240 and and we asked him to

00:50:05.860 create an education course for

00:50:07.960 you uh in case you want to

00:50:10.300 look into cryptocurrency it

00:50:12.540 explains what they are how

00:50:14.480 they work which ones he

00:50:15.920 recommends and how to buy

00:50:17.280 them I have to tell you just

00:50:18.720 buying cryptocurrency is is so

00:50:20.920 frustrating if you don't know

00:50:22.280 what you're doing so if um you

00:50:25.700 have been thinking about

00:50:26.820 cryptocurrencies in any way I

00:50:28.780 personally think everybody

00:50:29.960 should have at least at least

00:50:31.780 50 or 100 dollars in

00:50:33.360 cryptocurrencies because it's

00:50:35.820 going this is the future I

00:50:38.240 don't know how it all pans out

00:50:39.700 and how we get there but this

00:50:41.060 is the future so if you are

00:50:44.100 thinking about investing in

00:50:45.360 cryptocurrencies you must educate

00:50:48.020 yourself first so check out the

00:50:49.820 exclusive Glenn Beck cryptocurrency

00:50:51.480 course now at smart crypto

00:50:53.780 course dot com do that now at

00:50:56.320 smart crypto course dot com

00:50:59.320 Glenn Beck mercury

00:51:03.520 Glenn Beck so when it comes to uh

00:51:14.660 guns and uh and schools there's

00:51:20.300 there's a lot of controversy and

00:51:22.540 there always has been and this

00:51:24.500 isn't the first time that people

00:51:25.960 have said like our just last guest

00:51:27.880 just uh said you know I think

00:51:29.460 that we should that we should

00:51:30.300 have you know uh gun training in

00:51:34.480 school there should be some sort of

00:51:36.260 training that that you know that

00:51:37.860 shows that uh you know gives

00:51:40.100 everybody a basic understanding of uh

00:51:43.840 of what a gun does gun safety

00:51:46.180 it'd be great too if it wasn't just

00:51:49.160 scare tactics right it's not just

00:51:50.540 about how you react if some dangerous

00:51:53.260 person comes in with a gun which is

00:51:57.060 important right everyone should have

00:51:59.140 some basic idea who was it was it

00:52:01.000 ben sherwood years ago who uh who

00:52:02.840 wrote the book about surviving um uh

00:52:07.060 critical moments in your life and how

00:52:09.720 people think like well you get in a to a

00:52:11.800 plane crash you're just dead and and

00:52:13.740 what you find out is that the numbers

00:52:15.240 are not like that the numbers are if

00:52:16.980 you're prepared for how to deal with it

00:52:19.280 a lot of people actually survive same

00:52:20.980 thing with you this is at the time of

00:52:22.780 that really bad fire um at a at the

00:52:25.900 bar in I think it was Rhode Island

00:52:27.600 where so many people couldn't get out

00:52:29.320 and it's just a matter of uh of knowing

00:52:33.060 the escape routes yeah right yeah so

00:52:35.180 that's important but it's also about

00:52:36.760 like taking the stigma away there's that

00:52:39.120 negative sort of stigma of guns and I

00:52:41.600 know this from growing up in the

00:52:42.680 northeast like people just generally

00:52:44.840 speaking think of them as bad and how

00:52:47.760 do you deal with this bad thing instead

00:52:49.820 of understanding what it does how to

00:52:51.680 use it the good things that can come

00:52:53.420 with it and then that would be a great

00:52:54.600 that'd be a great place yeah it would

00:52:57.040 never you would never want it in school

00:52:58.480 because they would never they would

00:52:59.760 they would find a way to demonize them

00:53:01.240 and make them horrible okay but this

00:53:03.560 isn't the first time now this what I'm

00:53:06.200 holding is from the um from the mercury

00:53:08.700 museum and I love this is from 1906 and

00:53:12.400 this comes from Theodore Roosevelt and

00:53:15.820 this was a campaign to get gun safety

00:53:19.820 and shooting uh into our public schools

00:53:23.340 now imagine this now it's it's a it's a

00:53:26.360 giant target and it says who can kill

00:53:29.560 teddy bear okay that just sounds crazy

00:53:32.760 uh remember this is the time where teddy

00:53:35.320 bear was just getting its name from

00:53:37.020 Theodore Roosevelt from teddy

00:53:38.180 roosevelt so uh it shows a bear and

00:53:42.040 then it has targets all across the bear

00:53:44.860 now this was made for kids this was

00:53:51.020 made for kids so that's one way that

00:53:55.880 things have changed so much in the last

00:53:57.640 hundred years but there was an outcry

00:54:00.060 when this went out the school that the

00:54:02.860 towns were so outraged that the president

00:54:07.420 of the United States would try to get

00:54:09.760 shooting done in schools and do you know

00:54:13.320 why

00:54:13.640 because the locals said how dare the

00:54:23.600 federal government try to tell us what

00:54:27.060 needs to happen in our own local

00:54:30.060 schools we'll put shooting ranges in if

00:54:34.320 we choose to put shooting ranges they

00:54:36.820 had no problem at the time with putting

00:54:39.560 shooting ranges into school what they

00:54:41.720 had the problem with was the federal

00:54:43.860 government trying to tell them what to

00:54:47.240 do when it came to educating their kids

00:54:49.320 wow is that not nuts looking look what

00:54:54.420 the progressive era has done

00:54:56.000 the progressives Theodore Roosevelt he's

00:55:01.600 taking that step because the progressives

00:55:04.540 believe they should have the power to tell

00:55:07.280 you what to do in your own town in your

00:55:09.860 own home and in your own life but a hundred

00:55:12.620 years ago people didn't believe that people

00:55:15.940 didn't think that way people knew wait I'm

00:55:18.820 free my town will decide what's bet get

00:55:22.080 away from us and if we want guns we'll do

00:55:26.120 guns if we don't want guns we won't do

00:55:28.000 guns but get away from us federal government

00:55:30.420 you have nothing to do to now everyone is

00:55:34.060 crying out saying the federal government

00:55:36.040 must do these things the federal government

00:55:39.500 has the ultimate responsibility in keeping

00:55:42.480 us safe in telling us what we can and

00:55:44.960 cannot do in school and in our own homes

00:55:47.440 and when we bring up maybe we should have

00:55:51.020 you know shooting classes in school oh my

00:55:55.140 gosh that's an outrage you local yokels you

00:55:58.000 have no idea what you're doing you're all

00:55:59.980 dangerous the government needs to restrict

00:56:02.260 you

00:56:02.680 it's amazing how a hundred years of

00:56:09.640 progressive thought has perverted the

00:56:12.560 idea of what it really means to be free

00:56:15.320 in America

00:56:16.320 that's a that's a long journey you just

00:56:19.900 described hundred years I mean a hundred

00:56:22.720 years and I mean really happened a lot

00:56:24.460 faster than that but I mean to be able to

00:56:26.260 go to a place where I mean it should be

00:56:28.920 local control they talked about there's a

00:56:31.300 school I believe it's in Idaho that has

00:56:34.620 already done the arming the teachers

00:56:37.320 thing they've done it for a long time

00:56:39.000 because there's not really a police

00:56:41.600 station nearby it's not an option yeah

00:56:44.700 so they actually have this they actually

00:56:47.600 have armed teachers stunningly there's

00:56:50.240 been no school shootings at this at this

00:56:52.200 school um but I mean that is something

00:56:55.880 that I think a good chunk of the country

00:56:57.620 understands still right there's still a

00:56:59.840 good chunk of the country that understands

00:57:01.540 that you know law-abiding gun owners that

00:57:03.960 are properly trained are a real positive

00:57:06.140 influence on the country but there's huge

00:57:08.820 we talk about this blue and red sort of

00:57:12.040 divide among the country that is so real

00:57:16.240 because guns are in large chunks of the

00:57:18.880 country are not treated as if they're

00:57:20.700 anything but murderous devices used by

00:57:23.300 bad people so I want to take that to

00:57:24.920 someplace else I want to take that to

00:57:26.300 what happened what I read about this

00:57:27.620 weekend in Indiana where these two guys

00:57:31.300 were tired of the potholes so they went

00:57:33.400 out and they took their own money and

00:57:35.340 they bought asphalt and they're repairing

00:57:38.120 the potholes wait until you hear the

00:57:40.400 reaction no no it's not what you think

00:57:43.020 Glenn Beck Mercury

00:57:45.820 this is the Glenn Beck program

00:58:00.600 so let me show you how things are

00:58:06.420 changing now I think these guys I want

00:58:11.540 to talk to these guys in about a week

00:58:13.020 because I have a feeling things are

00:58:14.400 going to change for him now that they're

00:58:15.440 getting a national attention which I

00:58:17.560 would find really unfortunate there are

00:58:19.700 two men in Indiana that were really

00:58:22.600 tired of waiting for the city to repair

00:58:24.840 potholes so they started a grassroots

00:58:27.580 organization called open source roads

00:58:30.480 and they they started to make an

00:58:34.480 Indianapolis pothole map and where the

00:58:38.900 really bad ones are and then they were

00:58:40.860 tired of sitting around waiting for the

00:58:42.500 city so Mike Warren and Chris Lang

00:58:45.620 spent their own money and they're not

00:58:50.100 you know they're not wealthy and they

00:58:52.960 bought asphalt and now they're going

00:58:56.640 around and they're filling the potholes in

00:58:59.000 the city now they're fans of of Ron

00:59:02.700 Swanson from Parks and Recreation and you

00:59:07.360 know one of them's got he said I've got a

00:59:08.860 poster on my wall of of Ron and he's

00:59:12.020 basically libertarian on the show yeah in

00:59:15.240 real life he does not seem to be at all

00:59:17.360 the actor that portrays him but yes right

00:59:19.360 okay so he said that they have gathered

00:59:24.940 about five different friends these two and

00:59:28.620 Warren and Lang and sometimes others they

00:59:31.520 go out on their weekends in their spare

00:59:33.320 time and they fix the worst potholes in the

00:59:35.940 city we want to fill a lot of potholes we

00:59:38.380 want we want people to help out and see

00:59:40.500 that we don't need to rely on this

00:59:42.260 monopoly of a government for it I want

00:59:45.860 that to be what starts the people taking

00:59:48.020 charge about of their own life and start

00:59:52.100 talking about change the city is going to

00:59:55.200 fail at their own monopoly why should they

00:59:57.200 have that monopoly the Department of Public

01:00:00.040 Works audit rated the city's roads poor

01:00:02.200 said it would take 200 and sorry 732

01:00:05.920 million dollars to upgrade them to fair

01:00:08.980 condition so they don't have a permit for

01:00:13.900 what they're doing this is awesome I know

01:00:16.740 but they say the city and the police

01:00:18.480 officers they're not stopping them

01:00:20.260 Betsy Whitmore chief of communications for

01:00:24.020 the Indianapolis Department of Public

01:00:25.280 Works said in an email that obtaining a

01:00:27.060 permit to work on city-owned streets and

01:00:29.580 right-of-way is important so the city knows

01:00:31.560 what's going on what kind of answer is

01:00:34.460 that I mean I love that answer but what

01:00:36.920 that's like a Texan hey just let us know

01:00:39.440 what you're doing in the streets can you

01:00:44.220 imagine doing this in New York I can't

01:00:46.420 that that's though also seems like a way

01:00:49.360 that they're saying you better get a

01:00:50.600 permit or this is gonna stop no I don't

01:00:53.440 know so far Lang one of the guys estimates

01:00:56.720 they spend between eight hundred and a

01:00:58.320 thousand dollars for tools and for

01:01:00.200 asphalt part of the money came from their

01:01:02.600 own paychecks and donations for their

01:01:05.380 GoFundMe page campaign to fix my roads

01:01:09.240 M-U-H road these guys I know the two

01:01:14.400 started April 2017 after Warren saw video

01:01:17.960 of anarchists in Portland patching their

01:01:20.800 city streets it's hilarious I love this

01:01:24.320 the anarchists in Oregon say that

01:01:29.060 capitalism and government are not

01:01:31.160 necessary for society to function

01:01:33.560 according to the Oregonian okay so these

01:01:36.060 guys don't necessarily have a lot in

01:01:38.760 common except you know capitalism all

01:01:44.620 right on in Oregon doesn't work but they

01:01:47.220 both believe we don't need the government

01:01:49.940 to do the things that they don't do

01:01:51.820 well we can do this Lang and Warren say

01:01:56.080 they are not anarchists and do not want

01:01:59.000 to replace the Department of Public Works

01:02:00.860 but they thought a similar grassroots

01:02:02.700 repair effort would help solve some of

01:02:04.400 the problems on side streets and call on

01:02:06.760 the city to provide better service

01:02:08.680 that's really interesting because I mean

01:02:12.080 one of the classic complaints against

01:02:14.500 libertarianism is what are you what are you

01:02:16.280 you want just private businesses to have to

01:02:18.700 run all the roads yeah yeah that would be

01:02:21.020 fantastic I mean we could see how it

01:02:22.640 works when you drive around let's say a

01:02:25.780 business how many how many entrances to

01:02:28.560 Walmart are in complete disrepair they're

01:02:31.880 not because they want people to drive on

01:02:33.640 those roads and come into the store so

01:02:35.540 they make sure that they're kept up if you

01:02:37.900 give private business an incentive to to

01:02:41.340 do these things and they will be done

01:02:42.640 better I love this though this is a great

01:02:44.580 idea because this it's interesting it's

01:02:46.900 not because there was a story we talked

01:02:48.420 about with Toronto a few months ago where I

01:02:52.780 am I hate this story and I simultaneously

01:02:56.340 love this story yeah because it's the

01:02:58.520 outcome is unfortunate but Toronto said

01:03:01.480 they needed stairs to go down this little

01:03:03.860 walk this little hill I mean it's a little

01:03:05.600 not even a hill it's a park right right it

01:03:07.900 was like a you know from one level of like

01:03:10.020 parking lot into the park it was a very

01:03:12.000 short stair I mean it was 10 stairs 12

01:03:15.060 stairs yeah and they were it was going to

01:03:18.060 be 55 to 60 thousand dollars for them to

01:03:21.460 install these stairs well a local guy is

01:03:24.720 just like yeah what's 55 thousand dollars

01:03:28.040 he spent 550 dollars of his own money he

01:03:31.500 bought the lumber and the concrete yep

01:03:32.920 built the stairs himself put them in

01:03:35.200 perfectly fine stairs and problem solved

01:03:38.820 until of course Toronto got wind of it and

01:03:41.140 then came in and tore the stairs down

01:03:43.060 because they didn't like the way it was

01:03:45.900 done now of course you're going to always

01:03:48.220 have those issues but the point that I

01:03:50.520 think he was trying to make was it doesn't

01:03:52.480 take 60 thousand dollars to make stairs

01:03:54.900 exactly it doesn't take that we all know

01:03:57.380 it doesn't yes I mean even we even hear

01:03:58.720 this with the wall where they're talking

01:04:00.160 about the wall on the southern border and

01:04:01.860 they're like oh it's going to cost you know

01:04:03.800 25 billion dollars there's like 25 billion

01:04:08.360 dollars for a wall like I understand that

01:04:11.440 it's government and everything seems to

01:04:12.940 cost more but does that does that sound

01:04:15.400 even remotely coherent may I may I just

01:04:18.300 say may I just say this listen to what

01:04:20.180 listen to what these two guys in Indiana

01:04:21.640 said they were asked are you worried about

01:04:24.020 getting hit while it seems like two people

01:04:28.440 can actually fill potholes there is a

01:04:31.640 supporting group to protect the workers

01:04:33.220 from traffic this can include an extra

01:04:35.440 staff to hold warning signs for drivers

01:04:38.240 and a driver of a blocker truck to provide

01:04:41.280 a barrier between pothole filling workers

01:04:44.140 and traffic it more said usually the city

01:04:50.660 uses five to six people we pretty much get

01:04:55.520 it done with two that's great it is and it

01:05:00.820 is because there are obviously like if you

01:05:02.740 had just guys kind of coming around and

01:05:05.280 building bridges across things like you

01:05:07.200 might have some issues maybe there's not

01:05:08.620 engineering necessary but if you have a

01:05:10.640 an understanding of how to do this and

01:05:12.360 can do it safely and the other part is

01:05:14.520 like with the exception of getting hit

01:05:16.420 while you're filling the pothole it used

01:05:18.960 to have nothing in it right I mean if they

01:05:21.900 put marshmallows inside of it it would 0.98

01:05:23.540 probably be better than what it was so

01:05:26.440 it's hard to do damage when you're

01:05:27.800 filling a pothole it's it's it's remarkable

01:05:31.080 and now who will be the first to stop

01:05:34.260 these guys because they just get I mean

01:05:37.800 it's not I mean you imagine that in New

01:05:41.420 York City I remember I I remember when New

01:05:45.840 York City began to change me and it was I

01:05:49.580 was standing at a subway or someplace and

01:05:52.420 there was there was garbage blowing

01:05:54.720 around everywhere now I'm in some cities

01:05:57.320 I'm in towns and things and I see

01:05:58.780 garbage I'll pick it up and I'll put it

01:06:00.380 in the trash can I don't do that in New

01:06:02.720 York you don't ever do that in New York

01:06:04.700 for multiple reasons you don't usually

01:06:06.780 needles attached to each piece of garbage

01:06:08.660 yeah so you don't do that in New York but

01:06:10.540 I remember seeing the trash blowing and I

01:06:12.600 remember thinking to myself about a year

01:06:14.220 and a half into New York and the hell is

01:06:16.180 the city going to do something about this

01:06:17.520 and it just took me by surprise like what

01:06:20.140 and it was in front of our building and I

01:06:24.020 was complaining about the city if here go

01:06:27.280 out and pick it up go out and sweep it's

01:06:29.580 interesting but you don't do that and the

01:06:32.040 city makes it impossible for you to want

01:06:35.100 to do anything they don't want you doing

01:06:37.360 anything no no no no no no no no don't

01:06:40.520 move that I mean a lot of that is you know

01:06:42.660 people justifying their jobs and people you

01:06:44.860 know but there's a longer term ideological

01:06:49.480 reason for these things which is in to

01:06:51.920 imprison you to government I mean this is

01:06:54.100 what they want you to believe they like

01:06:56.440 the idea that you're dependent on them it

01:06:59.680 gives them the control it gives them the

01:07:01.920 power gives them everything so when and

01:07:04.520 again these are little examples of it but

01:07:06.380 it goes deeper than this it's people who

01:07:08.860 used to be I need to go oh my god I'm I

01:07:11.280 lost my job I gotta need to get a job well

01:07:13.480 then there was people arguing for 99 weeks

01:07:15.780 of unemployment right 99 weeks that was

01:07:19.100 never something look there are reasons

01:07:20.940 there are reasons that you know these

01:07:22.880 things pop up but that it's a change in

01:07:25.420 mindset in which we demand from the

01:07:27.300 government things that we used to demand

01:07:29.500 of ourselves it's it's it is remarkable

01:07:33.120 that I think this is beginning to change I

01:07:36.660 really think this is beginning to change let

01:07:39.280 me go to Andy in Washington who has

01:07:41.040 possibly an example hello Andy good

01:07:44.140 morning fellas you're in Washington

01:07:45.520 State yes sir where what part

01:07:48.260 uh Yakima Valley Eastern Washington okay

01:07:51.020 Eastern Washington all right tell me

01:07:53.120 what's going on well you had made a

01:07:55.340 comment uh one of you did a bit ago

01:07:57.540 about an Idaho school that does some

01:07:59.080 concealed carry

01:07:59.800 we have at least two here just in the

01:08:02.800 Yakima Valley that also do and I know

01:08:04.980 there's well at least a couple more

01:08:07.100 that are talking about it and so people

01:08:10.100 are starting the teachers are all are

01:08:12.140 starting to conceal carry well it's not so

01:08:15.960 much teachers as it is admin and or

01:08:18.640 conceal carry security guards but in fact

01:08:21.920 while we're on the subject there's a it's

01:08:23.700 an I-1620 I think they're trying to get 1.00

01:08:26.260 names uh to get it on the ballot for

01:08:28.660 November to allow concealed carry for

01:08:30.800 uh almost any staff I believe that

01:08:33.020 passes the security and and training so

01:08:35.340 when you said Yakima I responded okay

01:08:38.400 meaning uh okay I understand your phone

01:08:41.300 call now because I saw that you you were

01:08:43.220 talking you wanted to talk about

01:08:44.620 concealed uh carry teachers in

01:08:47.180 Washington State um and Washington State

01:08:51.440 is a really good example of this there

01:08:53.840 are there were two kind there are two

01:08:56.060 states I mean it's not even the same

01:08:58.180 state uh you go Seattle and Yakima it's

01:09:02.320 it's a completely different world from

01:09:05.740 one side of the state to the other you do

01:09:08.340 that in California you drive you know 25

01:09:11.420 miles and it's a different state the

01:09:14.780 people think differently so how do you

01:09:17.440 think it's gonna go over Andy you know

01:09:19.680 in the Seattle area you know actually the

01:09:23.340 the gentleman that started the initiative

01:09:25.080 uh the name gathering for the initiative

01:09:27.800 1621 uh he's actually from Bellevue I

01:09:31.180 believe oh my gosh or Bellevue somewhere

01:09:33.360 which really surprised me yeah you know

01:09:36.580 you're correct though the eastern and

01:09:38.060 western Washington the same with Oregon

01:09:40.060 and or California yeah uh it's it's like

01:09:42.800 two complete states western well I mean

01:09:44.940 you're from Washington uh western

01:09:46.680 Washington it's two counties has enough

01:09:48.700 population to overrule the vote for the

01:09:51.480 entire state it's crazy it's absolutely

01:09:54.820 crazy I don't know how we I don't know

01:09:57.900 how we um bring this together other than I

01:10:01.720 think there is a there's a growing number

01:10:05.200 of people especially in these really

01:10:07.160 divided areas um and in states that are

01:10:10.340 failing that people are starting to say

01:10:13.100 okay guys I don't want to play teams 0.99

01:10:15.360 anymore what do we do to make this work

01:10:17.700 and common sense is starting to take a

01:10:21.000 toehold not a foothold but a toehold in

01:10:24.360 some of these very very progressive states

01:10:26.940 have you seen any of that Andy a little

01:10:30.920 yeah not not a ton but you know you look

01:10:33.060 around Seattle and things are so crazy

01:10:34.880 um you know there comes a point where

01:10:38.720 even even somebody who's who's absolutely

01:10:41.660 anti-gun has to realize that we have to

01:10:43.820 do something and what we've been doing

01:10:45.480 for you know umpteen years isn't working

01:10:47.400 yeah Andy thank you so much appreciate

01:10:49.480 it

01:10:49.920 sort of feels like the just the momentum

01:10:57.140 of all of this is going to help these

01:10:58.680 situations like there wasn't a way

01:11:00.440 easily to do a map of all you know

01:11:04.020 potholes right it was a would have been

01:11:06.520 a pain to for people to do that but now

01:11:08.880 with crowdsourcing and and apps and all

01:11:11.800 these things I mean like you look at a

01:11:13.240 change Waze is that company that does the

01:11:15.140 traffic you know like your GPS app it's

01:11:17.740 like there people are constantly

01:11:19.020 reporting when everything from

01:11:21.620 something's in the road or a car is

01:11:23.560 pulled over on the side of the road

01:11:24.580 and you pull up and you're like how

01:11:26.500 long has this car been here an hour and

01:11:27.880 there's 25 reports of this one car

01:11:30.580 pulled over the side of the road that

01:11:31.480 doesn't even affect traffic flow at all

01:11:33.060 it's because people are constantly

01:11:34.500 reporting and as this as this stuff

01:11:36.120 improves and people are involved in it

01:11:37.660 you think it's going to be easier the

01:11:39.760 momentum of this technology you know

01:11:41.480 you know how Google gets Google traffic

01:11:44.020 right just people just monitoring

01:11:46.520 people as they drive it's yes it's

01:11:48.400 tracking your your phone so you've got

01:11:51.120 your phone in your car you're driving

01:11:53.080 it sees when you're slowing down that

01:11:55.220 goes and it's fed up into the into the

01:11:57.500 system and it it creates this map I'm

01:12:00.560 old enough Glenn to remember when traffic

01:12:03.760 cams were this big thing and they were

01:12:05.800 like oh my god you could check your

01:12:06.880 traffic on your way to work because you

01:12:08.840 because of traffic cams that the

01:12:10.520 government put up to see certain roads

01:12:12.340 think of how ancient that is now I know

01:12:14.680 and that is just the big signs that say

01:12:16.880 that hang over you know hey slow down or

01:12:19.280 this amount of time to you know the next

01:12:21.460 exit well I don't need that right it's

01:12:23.160 like oh really well that's super I'll

01:12:26.940 watch that on my on my my magic box at

01:12:31.340 home before I leave every day here's uh

01:12:35.460 here's our sponsor this half hour

01:12:36.860 simply safe home security and I'm I'm

01:12:39.240 thrilled to have them as a sponsor and

01:12:40.800 thank them for sponsoring this program

01:12:42.900 and making this segment possible

01:12:44.560 simply safe has completely redesigned the

01:12:48.980 security system for your home and it is

01:12:51.500 taken years I mean I saw the beginnings

01:12:54.740 of this I think about two three years ago

01:12:57.020 and what they were ready to announce at

01:13:00.260 the time some things changed and they

01:13:03.680 realized you know what we can make it

01:13:05.320 better than this let's wait and so they

01:13:07.740 spent more time and I'm telling you they

01:13:09.720 have thought of everything uh you know

01:13:12.380 people come into your house and they

01:13:13.820 destroy the keypad or the siren doesn't

01:13:16.340 doesn't doesn't matter simply safe is

01:13:18.560 still going to call the police um you can

01:13:21.600 cut the power lines of the phone lines

01:13:23.720 it's still going to call the police you

01:13:27.040 don't you want to have cameras but you

01:13:28.600 want to make sure that nobody's watching

01:13:30.180 you in your home this is one of the

01:13:32.700 things they spend a lot of time and money

01:13:34.280 on they've designed a shutter that you

01:13:36.040 can actually hear that when you arm the

01:13:38.700 cameras they open up and you hear them

01:13:40.960 all open and click and when you disarm and

01:13:45.820 you're home and you can hear it so you

01:13:49.120 know if that camera is ever being

01:13:51.400 activated it's the best system ever and

01:13:54.240 it's fourteen dollars and ninety nine

01:13:55.800 cents a month for monitoring and you own

01:13:57.520 the system and there's no contracts

01:14:07.200 glenn beck mercury

01:14:11.280 glenn beck

01:14:19.920 hey just a quick personal note i'd ask

01:14:33.900 for some prayers for uh robert morris he's

01:14:36.280 a friend of uh friend of mine and a good

01:14:39.180 man he's from uh gateway church here and

01:14:42.300 and huge uh positive influence in the

01:14:44.920 community he was medevaced uh to the

01:14:47.460 hospital yesterday for some complications

01:14:49.600 after some surgery and just keep robert

01:14:52.080 morris in your prayers glenn beck mercury

01:14:55.960 love courage truth glenn beck well once

01:15:08.220 in a while once in a blue moon bill maher

01:15:10.160 actually says something he veers into

01:15:12.100 common sense and takes a stand on

01:15:14.180 something that even conservatives can get

01:15:16.860 behind friday night was one of those rare

01:15:19.380 occasions he defended laura ingram on

01:15:22.180 principle now he did come out and say

01:15:24.980 you know i also want you to know this

01:15:27.720 sounds ridiculous uh because i think she's 1.00

01:15:30.500 a deliberately terrible person so i mean he

01:15:33.380 didn't qualify it he's not in love with

01:15:35.700 laura ingram he's doing something more

01:15:38.040 important he's standing on principle so

01:15:40.840 after two months of conservatives pointing

01:15:42.920 to the fact that that the parkland brat pack

01:15:45.880 should be willing to take some criticism if

01:15:48.360 they're going to launch their attacks on

01:15:50.160 conservatives through big media someone on

01:15:53.080 the left has finally made that same argument

01:15:56.240 and it turns out it's bill maher here's what

01:15:58.920 he said but it has to do with the parkland

01:16:01.960 kids and guns and free speech now i think

01:16:04.820 those kids did a great thing they put this

01:16:06.780 issue uh in a place we've never had it before

01:16:09.200 and i wish them success but you know if you're

01:16:11.960 going to be out there in the arena and make

01:16:13.940 yourselves the champions of this cause people

01:16:17.840 are going to have the right i think to argue

01:16:19.940 back okay maybe you shouldn't say that about a

01:16:23.440 seventeen year old but again he is in the

01:16:25.280 arena and then he calls for a boycott of her 0.82

01:16:28.580 sponsors now what what is really is that

01:16:33.120 american to call for a really let me explain

01:16:36.520 something because i told and he complains

01:16:39.360 about bullying that's a bully i have been the

01:16:41.780 victim of a boycott i lost a job once it is

01:16:46.160 wrong you shouldn't be do this by team you

01:16:48.620 should do it by principle wow yes yes so

01:16:56.220 empathy is a huge missing ingredient in our

01:16:59.360 national dialogue so is common sense and

01:17:01.700 clear thinking but it's what allowed bill

01:17:05.160 maher to defend laura ingram because he

01:17:07.760 knows what she's going through after the

01:17:10.920 9-11 attacks he disagreed with characterizing

01:17:13.060 the hijackers as uh as cowards he said we've

01:17:17.120 been cowards lobbying cruise missiles from

01:17:19.340 2 000 miles away well that led to a boycott of

01:17:22.840 his sponsors on abc which then canceled the

01:17:26.440 show called politically incorrect one of the

01:17:30.380 most amazing things ever that's why in principle

01:17:34.140 right after 9-11 and you can imagine how

01:17:37.340 popular this was i took the stand of supporting

01:17:41.100 bill maher not for what he said but what part of

01:17:44.760 politically incorrect did you not understand

01:17:48.120 abc that's what this man does why you hired

01:17:52.760 right and if we can't we cannot uh let name

01:17:59.400 calling and uh and and political thought come

01:18:05.220 under control from a mob left or right that's

01:18:09.680 why you don't want democracy democracy is

01:18:12.180 mob rule it's majority wins that hasn't that

01:18:16.540 doesn't work and by the way this isn't even

01:18:18.940 majority wins on these boycotts this is just a

01:18:22.240 handful of people who are really dedicated to

01:18:24.600 making people's lives miserable and so they get

01:18:27.880 their way but mar got this right this is about

01:18:32.560 principle and the worst lesson that the parkland

01:18:35.740 kids and and the rest of america's youth are

01:18:38.480 learning for all of this is that an inability to

01:18:41.560 agree to disagree we have to be able to get

01:18:45.740 there it's not enough for the left anymore if

01:18:49.200 they don't like your viewpoint their their only

01:18:52.360 response is to try to destroy your livelihood and

01:18:56.640 drum you out of the market to me that is much more

01:19:02.500 dangerous to society than any number of guns

01:19:06.360 it's monday april 9th this is the glenn beck program

01:19:16.340 so there was a movie that premiered on hbo over the weekend

01:19:19.880 it was a movie about penn state robert de niro played joe paterno

01:19:24.340 and uh it it ended looking like things were even worse

01:19:29.420 i don't want to give away the end line in case you want to watch it but it was

01:19:34.520 not making joe paterno look like it looked like he was uh

01:19:38.340 like there was any shadow of a doubt that this guy was a bad guy

01:19:42.540 well john ziggler is a friend of ours and a friend of the program he's a

01:19:45.700 columnist at media he also uh runs the uh podcast the world

01:19:50.260 according to zig which is worth a listen at free speech broadcasting

01:19:54.460 dot com uh john has been john has been uh following the joe

01:20:00.000 paterno uh case for a while and will not let it go

01:20:04.280 uh and uh he was writing a massive story for newsweek

01:20:09.820 it took months and months to do they spent a lot of money on it and then at the

01:20:15.200 last minute they pulled it and uh and killed the story and

01:20:19.400 quickly glenn this is my fault and i do this all the time i always i always

01:20:22.980 confuse robert de niro and al pacino it was al pacino

01:20:25.220 who played paterno it's my fault i did that to you in the break my bad

01:20:28.480 uh yeah john has been on all over the story for forever

01:20:31.640 uh and he joins us now uh john first of all did you see did you

01:20:35.840 actually watch paterno on hbo i did eventually bring myself to watch

01:20:40.700 it and i was able to do so without vomiting

01:20:42.700 i thought an accomplishment um but it was it was interesting historical fantasy

01:20:48.020 it was a it was a fairy tale based in a media created myth and and to be

01:20:52.640 fair uh to say i followed the story for a while

01:20:55.760 no no you were a stalker you were i mean

01:20:58.520 well i i'm the only person who has looked at this from an independent

01:21:02.440 perspective not within the media industrial complex that jumped to a

01:21:06.660 ridiculous conclusion in two days back in november of 2011

01:21:09.720 and i know more and this is not an exaggeration

01:21:12.240 i know more about this whole penn state paterno and jerry sandusky story

01:21:16.860 than anybody on the planet including jerry sandusky

01:21:20.040 and jerry sandusky would be the first person to tell you that

01:21:22.520 and it's been the worst decision of my life but it's also been the best work of

01:21:26.320 my life because what i have found is a completely and totally different

01:21:30.760 reality than the myth that you've been told

01:21:33.540 for the last seven years so john i want to get into this because i'm so

01:21:37.420 fascinated by you and this this uh this cross that you carry because i know

01:21:43.820 what it's like to know something and no one will listen i mean i i got the

01:21:48.840 caliphate is coming oh you're an idiot okay all right and it's it it will drive 0.99

01:21:53.940 you out of your mind but talk take me to newsweek because

01:21:57.720 you thought okay finally somebody's going to do something and newsweek

01:22:01.420 what was it like 11 000 words 20 000 words on the website 15 000

01:22:07.560 in the magazine here's what happened for many of your listeners and viewers

01:22:11.700 probably remember that a little over a year ago you guys had me in in dallas

01:22:14.920 for a full day of interviews about this you're the only ones with the guts to

01:22:19.020 do anything like this and i thought at the time all right you

01:22:22.600 know what that's pretty much the end of this for me because there's nowhere else

01:22:25.420 for this to go nobody you know you you guys you don't

01:22:29.120 really care about being part of the media club

01:22:31.040 and so no other big media is ever going to accept this because they're too

01:22:34.740 invested in their myth their santa claus myth

01:22:37.260 and so uh we got a huge break at the end of last year

01:22:41.680 where newsweek hired as their top editor a guy by the name of bob roe

01:22:45.680 and bob roe had worked on the mcmartin preschool sex abuse case here in california

01:22:50.480 many years ago which turned out to be a fraud so bob roe got it and bob roe

01:22:55.840 didn't care about any kind of criticism he was going to get he also had a

01:22:59.220 previous relationship with my co-author on this uh with what would end up

01:23:03.600 being this proposed uh again and accepted newsweek piece ralph

01:23:08.120 ralph cipriano l.a times and philadelphia inquire reporter

01:23:11.580 he and i've been working on the case for quite a while together

01:23:14.580 and so he hired ralph ralph brought me on as his co-writer and then we

01:23:18.640 so this was back in october of last year

01:23:21.280 and and we had gotten a huge other break in that

01:23:24.820 ralph had been leaked all of the settlement documents

01:23:29.540 from penn state's 118 million dollars that they gave the 36 accusers of jerry

01:23:35.520 sandusky and i think all of the free report documents and i went to

01:23:41.120 philadelphia for two days and reviewed the documents and they're

01:23:44.220 unbelievable i was positive i was right when i was with you guys over a year ago

01:23:48.920 now it it's not even remotely close okay so why what did you see in the

01:23:54.880 documents that that make you say that it's all science

01:23:58.840 fiction glenn every bit of it we and the the guys who were at trial told

01:24:05.060 completely different stories when it came time to getting their money from penn

01:24:08.540 state because that's how penn state was paying out their money

01:24:11.600 we know that the so-called 70s accusers that supposedly implicated joe paterno

01:24:16.100 that got referred to in that al pacino movie by the way incorrectly they

01:24:19.700 couldn't even get the right accuser they can't even get their myth right

01:24:23.220 in this movie uh they referred to a 1976 accuser they meant 1971

01:24:27.920 these guys stories are hilarious and i now know the key thing glenn and

01:24:34.660 and this actually goes kind of the parkland situation you know the parkland

01:24:38.120 kids are protected right that's nothing compared to the sandusky accusers

01:24:42.760 because i now know their identities and we have this bizarre situation where

01:24:48.160 adults sometimes very old adults getting state money millions of dollars

01:24:53.300 are not allowed to have their names it's not a legal situation it's a media

01:24:57.780 decision because they're a cowardice they're not allowed to have their names

01:25:00.920 be public because that would be insensitive to sex abuse victims well guess

01:25:06.580 what when you know their identities you know a lot about them and you know how

01:25:11.620 ridiculous their stories is all stories are all you have to do is go to their

01:25:15.060 facebook pages they're all still huge penn state fans they're all still joe

01:25:19.680 paterno fans they've got pictures of themselves at penn state games in penn

01:25:24.080 state uniforms in penn state shirts their children in penn state shirts

01:25:28.520 they're they all got massive uh expensive sports cars they're not they're all

01:25:35.020 married they're all heterosexual which which i think goes to the heart of this

01:25:39.640 whole baloney narrative there there's nothing about the story

01:25:43.920 that makes any damn sense none of it and when you consider the fact and part of

01:25:48.920 what newsweek was very excited about was that we have had a three and a half

01:25:53.240 year sting operation on the number one lawyer named

01:25:57.080 andrew shuban in state college pennsylvania and his therapist

01:26:00.400 with with unimpeachable evidence that they took this fake accuser for three and a

01:26:06.880 half years they embraced him he they manipulated him they gave him a

01:26:10.340 completely false story then when he tried to tell him he wasn't really a victim

01:26:14.500 of jerry sandusky they convinced him that he was even though he wasn't and they

01:26:19.900 they he got uh diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder for something that

01:26:25.400 didn't happen that he says didn't happen right because

01:26:29.180 you've told the story let's be clear this is a purposely fake accuser he's a guy who who was in

01:26:36.440 the second mile charity jerry sandusky's charity he knew him for much of his youth his mother knew

01:26:42.280 him and he decided you know jerry is innocent this whole thing is baloney he went to the trial

01:26:47.300 and and and it was told by matt sandusky who is now you know an alleged victim of jerry that this

01:26:53.040 is all bull crap he knows that jerry is innocent and he decided to try to prove it and so and so he

01:27:00.080 he went to the number one lawyer in the case that completely embraced him and he and he sat him down

01:27:05.720 and totally changed his story made about made up a story because he knew that the original story

01:27:12.860 he gave was given was so ridiculous and that penn state wouldn't pay it because it didn't fit the

01:27:17.480 criteria so he gave him a brand new story and that there and he met with a therapist over a hundred

01:27:23.780 times okay but the good thing is you're not passionate about this at all the important part

01:27:32.740 but maybe the most important part of the accuser thing and this i think goes to how this kind of

01:27:36.780 thing could happen because everyone wants to know how could this happen well this is a perfect storm

01:27:41.620 and one of the perfect storms is everybody thinks everyone else is vetting we have evidence the

01:27:46.620 therapist told our fake accuser that the lawyer had vetted the accusers and we have evidence the

01:27:51.700 lawyer telling the fake accuser that the therapist had vetted the fake accusers and penn state thought

01:27:57.200 the lawyers were vetting the accusers nobody was there was no vetting i've been i got contacted this

01:28:03.820 weekend by a guy out of the blue i get this happens all the time where someone who got seven million

01:28:09.060 dollars from penn state this guy got a call from his lawyer and then from the the guy who got seven

01:28:15.440 million dollars offering him a truck if he would tell the his lawyer that he had witnessed jerry

01:28:22.440 sandusky kissing him which never happened and the guy told him to go pound sand because he knew the whole

01:28:27.940 thing was a scam this i get this all the time this was a this was a scam listen listen i recognize this

01:30:18.420 glenn beck so at free speech broadcasting dot com you can find the john ziegler uh article that was

01:30:32.300 written for newsweek and then spiked uh at the last minute after months and months and months of

01:30:38.240 agonizing over every word and meeting with attorneys and everything else to make sure they

01:30:42.180 had it all right john we've got about three minutes why why did they spike this

01:30:46.800 is he there the segment was that we had bob roe this guy with a history uh with a similar story

01:30:54.440 in a prior relationship with my co-writer and i was urging uh ralph and and and bob we got to get

01:31:01.460 this out now we hope we're hoping to get it out last year because i knew that things were not good

01:31:06.040 newsweek and in this environment in this story anything that can go wrong will go wrong well

01:31:10.400 bob got fired the day after the super bowl and i thought we were done at that point but those who

01:31:15.560 took over for him said wow this is a great story and they were so enthusiastic about the fake accuser

01:31:20.200 and the fact that we have a brand new date for the infamous mike mcquery episode that blows his

01:31:25.320 whole story apart we got all sorts of other bombshell evidence by the way the best place to go to find

01:31:29.640 this is framing paterno.com my website framing paterno.com where i posted the entire 20 000

01:31:35.640 word story that was going to be on the newsweek website and one day before one day before the

01:31:42.260 deadline everything fell apart and i believe the short answer is because of abject fear i think that

01:31:49.040 somebody within the infrastructure whether it was the lawyer or whatever realized that they were going

01:31:54.420 to get a whole bunch of crap for this and that it just simply was not worth it and i frankly think

01:32:00.260 the biggest problem we had glenn is our evidence and our facts are so powerful that that we cannot

01:32:06.980 conclude anything other than the fact that the whole thing is a scam and that jerry sandusky as bizarre

01:32:12.400 as it sounds is actually an innocent man had our evidence not been as strong i don't think they would

01:32:17.300 have been as afraid of the story they would have published it and instead i was forced to put it up

01:32:21.260 at framing paterno.com it's amazing stuff i hope people will check it out so you i mean this is

01:32:27.520 not written in your usual uh style of you know uh john ziegler rant this you can tell that this is

01:32:35.080 you've labored over every word you've checked every word um you had attorneys look at this

01:32:41.240 all the way through yeah the two editors uh bedded the whole thing and it was right i had discussions

01:32:48.720 with the printer and distributor of the magazine because i want to get extra copies i want to make

01:32:53.760 sure they got extra copies into the state of pennsylvania uh i mean this this was as done a

01:32:58.400 deal as possible they took the cover away from us at the last minute and put vladimir putin on

01:33:02.520 but i was like okay fine it's the biggest story news we've ever run it's at least it's out there and

01:33:07.560 then everything fell apart literally at the last minute and it's frankly because glenn as you know

01:33:13.460 popularity trump's truth now in the media and this is the ultimate proof of that this story this

01:33:21.180 whole perfect storm proves that in spades the truth no longer matters this is not a conspiracy theory

01:33:27.040 what i laid out is makes far more sense than the media myth that you've been told for the last seven

01:33:33.660 years of this incredible tragedy you know john i don't know if um you've ever heard the story of

01:33:39.140 tokyo rose uh and the real story behind her but when i was writing a uh one of our books uh and i i

01:33:46.680 took her story and told her story um she was she was wrongly accused she served two prison sentences

01:33:53.600 the government um uh you know trumped up the charges silenced witnesses uh in the navy that were

01:34:01.740 were going to be witnesses for her in her defense uh and she was eventually pardoned

01:34:08.500 she she's lived through this it's this is not a new thing i mean that was started by walter winchell

01:34:14.980 right well they wanted they wanted ratings well it's a good example but i think this one is way worse

01:34:21.440 because so many people were harmed the three administrators the paternal legacy yes the reputation

01:34:25.940 of a university hundreds of millions of dollars put out there a guy's got an innocent man and my

01:34:30.540 very strong view is going to die in prison and and most importantly if this can happen

01:34:34.920 our system is broken our media is broken the truth must still matter and if it doesn't matter in this

01:34:41.480 case it doesn't matter at all because it's clear cut when you get the details and you put it all

01:34:46.340 together like we have in a very credible fashion please check it out at framing paterno.com and glenn

01:34:51.420 thank you guys for caring about the truth they're the only ones that do and it's uh it's kept me

01:34:55.420 somewhat sane over the last somewhat i would leave it at somewhat john ziggler thanks so much

01:35:00.040 framing paterno dot com

01:35:02.420 glenn back mercury

01:35:15.660 you're listening to the glenn back we've got a couple of things we we gotta we gotta race through a couple

01:35:27.820 of things we have some really important stuff to talk about but i uh i i saw ready player one this

01:35:33.380 weekend i read like it i read the book and everyone told me if you've read the book you're gonna hate

01:35:39.080 the movie it is not the book but it is a great movie oh okay it is it's good it's a great steven

01:35:46.200 spielberg movie yeah i think great is a little too far oh i think it's i think it's good i think

01:35:51.600 it's fun like it's fun t and definitely you know indiana jones it's a fun it's not a classic like et

01:35:57.320 though et is a class no no but it's good i thought it was really good i really liked it i really liked

01:36:01.960 it um and you guys saw chappaquiddick chappaquiddick yes really like that as well really good i mean

01:36:07.880 you know i thought they were incredibly fair on chappaquiddick it did it incredibly right yeah

01:36:12.840 everybody not feel political at all it it i think gave him in some ways the benefit of the doubt on

01:36:20.020 you know never said he was having an affair with her no it didn't seem like that's where that night

01:36:24.260 may have ended yes yes clearly they never however they never they never said it nope

01:36:29.740 the one the one hole is how do you get out of the car and if he got out of the car why couldn't

01:36:35.220 she get out of the car yeah why couldn't he have gone back the same way he came out and pulled her

01:36:41.200 out and bizarrely they they he claims to just have forgotten yeah how we got out of the car but again

01:36:48.620 i would not look a gift horse in the mouth no no no i mean no i'm not i can't believe hollywood

01:36:54.020 told this story in the way they did they didn't tell it while he was alive oh yeah

01:36:59.400 they waited until nine years after his death i'll take it i know we talked at least it's

01:37:04.800 restoring history yeah what was the the genesis of the script again it was it was uh the election

01:37:10.940 of uh of uh barack obama um and uh i think it was bill maher said well if ted kennedy uh would

01:37:20.400 have endorsed hillary clinton then hillary would have won but he endorsed uh um obama obama yeah that's

01:37:27.480 right and he and they said and that these two writers were like they're from texas they were

01:37:32.220 big fan of the kennedys and they're like you know why didn't he ever run for president and they started

01:37:36.700 looking into it and they were like holy cow how do i not know this story yeah he did run for president

01:37:40.820 yeah yeah yeah they didn't know he couldn't even get the democrat nomination yeah no no it happens when

01:37:46.420 you kill people yeah a chap according could have had a little something to do with that but i mean he

01:37:50.100 was praised uh up until i mean he spoke at obama that the conventions oh they loved him he the lion

01:37:58.320 of the senate always loved him still the i mean really obamacare really the reason you know i mean

01:38:04.200 that uh didn't get to change was because of his death i mean if you remember i mean it's really

01:38:10.860 he had a heck of a run after that oh despite that craziness he did evil is an actual legitimate power

01:38:18.440 anyway um if you look at the kennedy uh history it's hard not to think that there was something

01:38:26.220 going on i think there was i think there was holy cow i think there was one good guy in it and it was

01:38:31.240 bobby kennedy and the women i think the women were good um but i i really like bobby kennedy jack was

01:38:38.800 i mean you know it was his dad the root of all evil was joe p yeah i mean he's yeah and was that not

01:38:44.540 a great performance yeah like eight words really good in that movie really but he was great in that

01:38:49.220 oh he was you got just where he's coming from oh yeah oh yeah that guy was pretty he was pretty cagey

01:38:55.960 he was pretty brilliant and he was a millionaire by the time he was 30 and some of it you know he

01:39:01.000 came from shady uh sources yes uh most people believe he had mob ties most people believe he ran

01:39:08.100 liquor during the prohibition um but he also had some incredible business savvy and and he turned

01:39:15.560 what was maybe between five and ten million into like 400 million uh by 1940 yeah and then soon as you

01:39:23.660 get into the presidency into the into the senator house you know you can use insider trading to do

01:39:29.120 all kinds of well he was doing insider trading before he got anybody in the house he was doing

01:39:33.280 that from when it was legal though it was it was legal it was shady unethical but legal okay this

01:39:39.540 falls into the category by the way just quickly of of movies that we all wish get made by hollywood

01:39:45.600 and if if they make one we should go see it yeah and not just because of that this is a good movie

01:39:52.060 great it is a good movie it's a good movie my daughter who's 18 i thought she was gonna be so

01:39:56.200 bored um right she loved it loved it loved it i watched it with 20 somethings they loved it yeah

01:40:02.140 they loved it and it but it only brought in 6.2 million i don't know what it cost to make but

01:40:06.460 there was only seventh so go see it it's really good it's really good really good how did it do
