The Glenn Beck Program - The Burning Man of Politics ｜ Guest： Senator Mike Lee

00:00:00.000 First, let us tell you about Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile knows that restricting free

00:00:05.600 speech is restricting truth. The left has crossed the line silencing conservatives across America,

00:00:11.740 shadow bans, Twitter, Facebook, blocked on YouTube. You need to put your money where your

00:00:18.720 mouth is, where your heart is. Patriot Mobile, they will give you the same great service,

00:00:24.500 the same coverage. It's on the same cell towers, but they're not going to take your money and donate

00:00:31.120 money to Planned Parenthood. And that's what happens every time you go with these big

00:00:35.120 cell companies. They are actually working against what you believe in. Not Patriot Mobile. Sign up

00:00:50.980 It's finally here. A day I've been waiting for since 1987. I am so excited. Joe Biden,

00:01:00.460 he's, well, I mean, he's run for president over and over and over and over again and continually

00:01:04.580 loses. But, but, but this time, this time, it might be his turn. And a very exciting announcement

00:01:14.880 and quite surprising, honestly, Joe Biden will take you to that exciting announcement in one minute.

00:01:25.100 Yeah. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Paper. My gosh, this is a piece of paper. Do we cut a whole

00:01:33.540 tree down for this piece of paper? Well, it's Earth Week. Is that what it is? So we went for

00:01:37.920 card stock for our notes? Thickest paper possible was our goal this week. Okay, good, good. I like

00:01:43.180 that. I want to talk to you a little bit about X chair. It's more of a recliner than an office chair,

00:01:47.800 but it is an office chair. Uh, and it is not the kind of, have you sat in some of the old office

00:01:54.740 chairs? Like we have backstage, we have them for props and stuff. So we have like these office chairs

00:01:59.680 from like the 1950s. How did people walk? They were sitting in an office chair, you know, working on a,

00:02:07.840 I don't know, an abacus, abacus, abacus, abacus. Is that right? Abacus? Abacus? Yeah. That doesn't seem

00:02:14.340 right. It's one of those words that you say. And then you're always like, that cannot be a word.

00:02:18.860 Anyway, they're working all day in these really uncomfortable metal chairs. God bless them.

00:02:24.680 People were leaving office jobs for the coal mines. They were like, oh, thank God for the

00:02:30.520 Nazis. I can go and try to kill them. Uh, I've been sitting in this office chair. Yeah, I'm ready

00:02:35.620 to kill some people. Anyway, X chair, really, really comfortable. Uh, and now priced, uh, for really

00:02:43.360 any budget. You have the, you know, they have the super X chair. I don't even know what it is,

00:02:48.100 but I think professor X actually pushes you around in it. They also have X chair end game,

00:02:52.920 which is coming out, uh, coming out tonight. I hear it's really sad. It's really sad. Anyway,

00:03:00.400 X chair, basic model now, a hundred dollars off as low as $28 a month with 0% financing order today

00:03:06.260 and get a free foot rest. I'm telling you, this is the best chair you've ever sat in. If this,

00:03:10.300 this is, I would watch, I would go to movie theaters that had this chair in for the regular

00:03:17.880 seat. That would be awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Uh, it is really as much of a recliner as it is an

00:03:24.860 office chair X chair on sale. Now a hundred dollars off, go to X chair, Beck.com. That's the letter X

00:03:30.780 chair, Beck.com or call eight, four, four, four X chair, eight, four, four, four, four, X chair.

00:03:43.240 Bad throwing this paper away. Plant it. See if it will grow again. Uh, welcome. Welcome to the

00:03:50.900 program. Very exciting day. Draft picks. The NFL draft pick, uh, is happening today. You sound convincing

00:03:57.240 just the way you're talking about it, Glenn, right? Right. Yes. The 2019 NFL draft is of course

00:04:02.720 tonight, but the real action happens on today's radio program where Glenn will personally select

00:04:09.680 and do his own mock draft. Uh, so you can watch a mock draft. Are you, is this, you're mocking me?

00:04:15.120 No, that's not what, when you do a draft in advance of the actual draft, they call it a mock draft.

00:04:20.180 So we weren't mocking president Obama when he did his, you know, final four thing. No one calls

00:04:28.640 that a mock final four. No one calls that. No one calls it. They call it a mock draft. Okay. And so

00:04:33.100 you will go through and you have, we've given Glenn a selection of 20 players and given me nothing to

00:04:38.240 judge them on except their picture, which I think is unfair. Not true at all. Yes. Of course, we've

00:04:42.560 given you a vital statistics about them, their height and their weight and where they're from and

00:04:47.300 where they're from. Yeah. Well, where they went to college. All right. And so give you where they're

00:04:50.100 from, but we have a picture of them. So you can judge by their, you can judge by their appearance.

00:04:53.980 You can judge by, and I can tell a lot by appearance. I mean, there's, you could also use

00:04:58.040 your knowledge. You could use your knowledge of, um, uh, you know, a sport enjoyed by men all over

00:05:03.700 the country. Right. And I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to say a big negatory on that one. Uh, and

00:05:09.380 just keep knowledge right out of this draft. Okay. So, uh, that's coming up, uh, our three, Mike, uh,

00:05:15.340 Lee is joining us. Oh, I've got a lot to ask Mike Lee. He, Mike Lee comes to mind more than I think

00:05:22.180 anybody else during the week on this show. Wouldn't you agree? We always say, I don't know.

00:05:27.940 Gosh, we can ask Mike Lee that. Yeah. Well, tough issues. He, you know, he rules, you feel like this

00:05:32.780 is a guy who's going to understand the constitutional underpinning of everything. So it makes, you know,

00:05:37.940 sometimes these things are a little difficult and we're not smart enough for them. So then we say,

00:05:42.120 can we just call Mike Lee and then he could tell us the answer? That's right. It's like if they,

00:05:46.880 we could just download him and I could keep him in my pocket. You know what I mean? Like forget

00:05:52.100 Siri. What does Siri know? I want a Mike Lee app. Isn't one of the, the, uh, the, uh, superheroes in

00:06:00.280 an end game of the Avengers and stuff. Isn't that Ant-Man? Isn't he in this? No, I mean,

00:06:05.760 there you go. No, I'm an Ant-Man sized Mike Lee. Oh, that's, that's creepy and weird. I just want a

00:06:10.960 disembodied voice coming from my phone telling me I want a virtual Mike. I want to, you know,

00:06:16.680 like a Siri app. I think there's money to be made on this one. I think we develop a Mike Lee

00:06:21.720 constitutional app. Hey Mike, how can we make this stop? I'm sorry. I don't understand the

00:06:30.000 question. Here's the web. Wikipedia says about that. Oh, stupid. I hate that. I hate that. Anyway.

00:06:37.020 Uh, so Mike's joining us here in a second, but let's get to the big exciting news. Joe-chella.

00:06:41.540 Joe-chella is happening. It is the burning man of politics. He is, there's so much excitement

00:06:51.520 around this. He is very excited. Uh, and he has released the video. Joe Biden is in the race

00:06:57.120 officially. Oh, we have to move him over on our fancy board over here. Oh yeah. Uh, he is in the

00:07:01.120 race. Uh, he joins as the, as the candidate leading in basically every poll and basically

00:07:06.740 every state. The only place he's not consistently leading is in New Hampshire, which there you have

00:07:12.520 both Elizabeth Warren from next door and you have Bernie Sanders from next door. Um, people who live

00:07:18.940 next door to Elizabeth Warren don't like her that much. So she's not close to the top. Yeah. They're

00:07:22.160 like, we don't want her here. We want her in Washington. Can you just please, please America

00:07:27.360 elect her president. So she's not here. And Bernie, uh, is doing very well there, but Biden,

00:07:33.300 I think is second there. He's way ahead in, in South Carolina. He's way ahead in, uh, in Nevada.

00:07:39.720 He's right there. He only has one place to go though. Down. Yeah. Yeah. I go back and forth on

00:07:45.060 this. I think he's a, he is a tougher general election candidate than a great fit for this particular

00:07:51.340 primary. So it's going to be, it's going to be interesting. I think that wing of the party,

00:07:56.440 the very tiny wing, like, you know, every once in a while you get a bucket of wings and there's

00:08:00.260 one like deformed wing that you could barely, you're like, I think this is a frog leg. Yeah.

00:08:04.280 And it does, it doesn't have, it doesn't have, it's not coated in Buffalo sauces,

00:08:07.780 coated in like fruit loops. And you're like, what happened in the kitchen? That's kind of the size

00:08:11.960 and scope of the, of the moderate wing of the democratic party right now. But if everyone were

00:08:17.400 to align around him, he'd have a chance to get through the primary. And if, and he's certainly the

00:08:22.900 favorite as of this moment. Yeah. It really depends on whether the Democrats are going to vote

00:08:28.140 like the Republicans voted last time, which was anyone, but Hillary Clinton and this guy

00:08:36.120 will take her out. Right. And, and that is Biden polls better against Donald Trump that every other

00:08:41.920 candidate in the field by a decent margin. Right. If they, if they are a, and, and I'm not,

00:08:48.520 I'm not sure that these are, uh, these are, um, things that we would be able to tell until the

00:08:57.180 very end, because people's rage on the left is so crazy about Donald Trump that they might just say

00:09:03.900 anybody, but Donald Trump and this guy could win. And so they won't care about his policies.

00:09:09.900 On the other hand, uh, we'll see how much they do believe how the core of Democrats believe in,

00:09:18.560 you know, social justice and, and, uh, you know, environmental justice. He's going to say all

00:09:25.120 the right things, but he's not going to look like the reformer. You know, you got to remember we live

00:09:30.720 in a world now in a world gone mad. We live in a world where a comedian was just elected, uh, president

00:09:39.080 with no policies in Ukraine. Okay. That's a serious country with serious issues. And they just elected

00:09:48.240 a comedian that didn't lay out any policies. So people are just sick of politicians. That's going

00:09:56.520 to hurt Joe Biden, but his scrappiness, his willingness to, um, his willingness to, you know,

00:10:05.780 be a dog fighter is going to help him. Yeah. He's yeah. He, he, he will mix it up. He doesn't mind

00:10:12.460 getting in. He has, he has some Trump sort of qualities, you know, where the left will, you know,

00:10:18.860 sometimes the right even will do this when Trump says something that's maybe not right, or maybe a

00:10:23.480 little offensive or, you know, whatever. There's a good portion of conservatives and Republicans that

00:10:28.680 are like, ah, you know, look, it's Donald Trump. You're like, look at his policies with Joe Biden gets

00:10:32.820 that same treatment from the left. And unlike Donald Trump, he also gets it from the media.

00:10:37.720 So people, when he says the dumb thing about television being invented in 1492, like he just,

00:10:43.700 ah, it's Joe. Joe just does these things. And it's not, you know, look, look at the big picture

00:10:48.340 here. He's got these policies. Hang on just a second. But he doesn't make a lot of those crazy

00:10:52.520 flubs. I mean, there's no way we have audio of him just making ridiculous statements.

00:10:58.940 Oh, no, I don't think that's possible. My mom lived in Long Island for 10 years or so.

00:11:05.980 God rest her soul. And although she's, wait, your mom's still, your mom's still alive as your dad

00:11:12.200 passed. God bless her soul. Chuck Graham, state senators here. Chuck, stand up, Chuck. Let him see

00:11:18.740 you. Oh, God love you. What am I talking about? A man who will be the next president of the United

00:11:24.480 States Barack America. Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian Americans moving

00:11:31.900 from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian

00:11:39.080 accent. It's a fully, I'm not joking. You got the first sort of mainstream African American

00:11:47.420 who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook.

00:11:56.320 They're going to put you all back in chains. Yeah. So there's nothing that Joe Biden might say

00:12:02.220 that's crazy from time to time. But let's listen to his announcement in one minute. Stand by.

00:13:40.660 Beck. Again, the code is Beck at 1-800-Flowers.com. 10 seconds. Station ID.

00:13:47.860 All right. Here it is. The tape that we've all been waiting for. Here he is. Joe Biden.

00:14:10.040 Charlottesville, Virginia is home to the author of one of the great documents in human history.

00:14:15.320 Very exciting. We know it by heart. We do. We hold these truths to be self-evident.

00:14:20.660 That all men are created equal. Endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.

00:14:26.000 Okay. Stop for a second. Now, this is something we've argued with people over before and there

00:14:31.640 is a legitimate history. There's a reason to say inalienable, but when you are on the screen,

00:14:38.120 it says unalienable and in, he's talking about knowing it by heart. So he's actually,

00:14:45.200 this is a produced video, obviously he's saying inalienable and on the screen, it says unalienable,

00:14:53.520 which is what it actually says, but there, I mean, you can say it either way, say it either

00:14:57.540 way. Historically speaking, you could say it either way. Right. But if you are quoting it

00:15:01.800 and saying, you know it by heart, you should have unalienable. I mean, again, because this is not

00:15:08.460 from a speech. This is not, you know, if you were just doing, you're recording this. Yes. The one

00:15:14.040 time you can be perfect and not make a flub, you know, somebody can say, cut Joe, you got to say

00:15:20.260 unalienable because that's, what's going to be on the screen. Okay, go ahead. Take it. Yeah,

00:15:24.020 exactly. And then like, it's not as, it's not a huge gaffe and it's like one of those things where

00:15:29.140 technically it is unalienable. However, I mean, you, you've done the history of this before and

00:15:33.780 I can't remember it. I can't remember it either. It's, but it's, it's the same word inalienable,

00:15:38.380 unalienable. I can't remember. I can't remember what said by the founders in both ways at times.

00:15:43.780 And it's, it's, but it's just funny because here he is saying he knows it by heart. It's on the

00:15:49.460 screen is the opposite word. It kind of goes to the idea of, I want this job, but

00:15:53.900 not that much, right? I mean, I'm not going to work that hard, but you haven't heard the passion

00:15:58.660 that's coming. Okay. Okay. All right. Listen to the intensity and passion of Joseph Robinette

00:16:03.140 Biden Jr. We've heard it so often. It's almost a cliche, but it's who we are. We haven't always

00:16:09.640 lived up to these ideals. Jefferson himself didn't, but we have never before walked away

00:16:15.240 from them. Charlottesville is also home to a defining moment for this nation in the last few years.

00:16:23.900 It was there in August of 2017. We saw Klansmen and white supremacists and neo-Nazis come out in

00:16:32.540 the open. I mean, let me stop for a second. Think of the press. We're giving these meaningless

00:16:38.920 zilches of groups like white supremacists. I mean, they give them so much attention as if

00:16:46.200 they're controlling the entire country. There was like 300 people at this event. And yes,

00:16:51.200 they were all horrible. Yes, they were all saying Jews will not replace us and are complete

00:16:56.080 disasters. Remember when they tried to redo the event the next year and no one showed up?

00:17:01.060 Like, is this really? We're launching a presidential campaign over a bunch of people that are just

00:17:08.760 zilches in our society. Because people now know that fear is the currency of the day.

00:17:17.500 Everybody in Washington seems to know it. Yep. Maybe with the exception of our guest next half

00:17:21.460 hour. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, but that's about it. I mean, there are not there are not a lot of

00:17:25.760 exceptions to that one at this point. All right, go ahead.

00:17:29.180 They're crazed faces illuminated by torches, veins bulging.

00:17:33.980 That almost every time the fans are racist.

00:17:35.860 Stop a second. At no point do you actually see any veins bulging. Now, I think I get what he's going for.

00:17:40.560 They were angry. But there was not a noticeable vein issue with this particular event, was there?

00:17:46.640 No, I mean, I wasn't checking all of their body parts. If it would have been on their face or on

00:17:53.340 their neck, I think I would have noticed. Now, I know that is where Joe usually goes,

00:17:57.100 though. He's usually really close to the neck. Look at that vein.

00:18:00.760 Maybe this is just the way he recognizes people. He's always either the smell of the hair.

00:18:06.700 Maybe it's not even the smell. He's like, it's more of a, they're not angry. He just has to move

00:18:13.880 their hair. They're not angry. That's what he's looking for. There we go. Okay. More from Joe Biden.

00:18:20.560 Chanting the same anti-Semitic bile heard across Europe in the 30s.

00:18:25.500 And heard in the Democratic Party today.

00:18:27.540 And they were met by a courageous group of Americans.

00:18:30.520 And a violent clash in civil rights.

00:18:32.580 And a brave young woman lost her life.

00:18:37.380 And that's when we heard the words of the President of the United States that stunned the world

00:18:42.140 and shocked the conscience of this nation.

00:18:45.480 He said there were, quote,

00:18:47.480 some very fine people on both sides.

00:18:50.520 Very fine people on both sides.

00:18:52.920 With those words,

00:18:55.880 the President of the United States

00:18:57.100 assigned a moral equivalence between those

00:19:00.220 spreading hate

00:19:01.520 and those with the courage to stand against it.

00:19:04.560 I mean...

00:19:05.440 And in that moment,

00:19:06.820 I knew the threat to this nation

00:19:08.700 was unlike any I had ever seen in my lifetime.

00:19:12.080 Okay, stop for a second.

00:19:13.140 So, this is a guy who's a senator

00:19:15.000 throughout like a good chunk of the Cold War.

00:19:17.560 Mm-hmm.

00:19:17.880 But the threat of Donald Trump saying there was very fine people on both sides...

00:19:22.720 Is the greatest he's ever seen.

00:19:24.080 Wow.

00:19:24.940 That's quite a thing.

00:19:27.240 He may have poor eyesight.

00:19:28.460 Yeah.

00:19:28.800 I think he's the answer.

00:19:29.920 Or bad judgment.

00:19:30.920 It could be bad judgment.

00:19:31.820 Maybe bad judgment.

00:19:32.620 This is a guy...

00:19:33.360 And now, of course, he says these things all the time.

00:19:35.160 Like when he said getting Osama bin Laden was the most difficult decision in 500 years.

00:19:42.300 Yeah.

00:19:42.540 Which is...

00:19:42.920 There's a lot of...

00:19:43.540 There's been a lot of decisions in that time period.

00:19:46.080 Look at a half a millennia here.

00:19:48.460 A lot of people make a lot of tough calls.

00:19:50.400 Yeah.

00:19:50.840 Yeah.

00:19:51.360 It's not like the rest of them were easy.

00:19:53.760 Right.

00:19:54.040 You know what I mean?

00:19:54.780 But I mean, gosh, I don't know.

00:19:56.260 Maybe we should go try to find the biggest terrorist on Earth that we've all been trying

00:20:00.140 to find for, you know, a decade.

00:20:01.360 And everybody who's on the side of good and not the side of the evil Allah.

00:20:07.240 Right.

00:20:07.700 You know, everybody's like...

00:20:09.360 I mean, even Muslims are like, yeah, no, we gotta get him.

00:20:11.840 We gotta get that guy.

00:20:12.460 Absolutely.

00:20:12.740 Of course, we gotta get that guy.

00:20:13.720 Even a lot of Muslim extremists were like, yeah, he's too far from me.

00:20:16.100 And they're like, oh, that was a real tough call from the White House somehow.

00:20:21.260 It's hard to imagine.

00:20:22.560 Okay.

00:20:23.100 More Joe Biden?

00:20:24.120 Yeah.

00:20:24.420 Okay.

00:20:24.600 I wrote at the time that we're in the battle for the soul of this nation.

00:20:30.220 Yes.

00:20:30.380 Well, that's even more true today.

00:20:31.940 We are in the battle for the soul of this nation.

00:20:34.600 We are.

00:20:35.160 I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an

00:20:41.540 aberrant moment in time.

00:20:42.980 But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally

00:20:49.540 alter the character of this nation.

00:20:51.760 Stop.

00:20:52.180 Just a minute.

00:20:53.420 But I thought you were for a fundamental transformation of the United States of America.

00:20:57.760 It was your actually, you actually campaigned on it, Joe.

00:20:59.860 Right.

00:21:00.360 That was, that was the deal.

00:21:02.920 Fundamental transformation of the United States of America.

00:21:05.920 That's amazing.

00:21:06.880 Yeah.

00:21:07.100 One thing you notice here from Joe as well, which separates him from every other candidate

00:21:11.560 in the field, including Sanders, is his, he's going right after Trump.

00:21:15.680 Yep.

00:21:15.960 This is not a, this is not a, hey, let me tell you about my wonderful vision for the future.

00:21:20.400 This is not necessarily like, let me tell you about some great policy ideas.

00:21:23.420 Let me introduce you.

00:21:24.200 Really smart.

00:21:24.860 It's going after Trump.

00:21:26.320 Yeah.

00:21:26.500 Head on.

00:21:26.880 And because that is the thing that will get him the nomination is the guy who can take on

00:21:34.680 Trump.

00:21:35.100 Yep.

00:21:35.220 And if he picks the fight and Trump responds to Biden, then it will be, it'll be really

00:21:42.900 a lock.

00:21:43.500 If he, if Trump starts to fight him now, it'll be seen by the Democrats as, oh, he's going

00:21:50.820 to take him on.

00:21:51.480 He can take him on.

00:21:52.700 He's got it.

00:21:53.560 He's got it.

00:21:54.840 And it will, it's very smart on Joe Biden, on Joe Biden's, Joe Biden's part.

00:21:59.900 But whoa, what a riveting, what a riveting reason to elect Joe Biden.

00:22:07.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:10.640 Hey, Mother's Day is just right around the corner.

00:24:07.400 We are so excited to have the one, the only, Senator Mike Lee with us.

00:24:12.720 Really, truly, Mike, we are honored to have you.

00:24:17.160 You are a guy, I remember the first time we spoke, you were in your car.

00:24:21.960 I think I called you, right?

00:24:23.260 Yes.

00:24:23.700 And did you know I was going to call?

00:24:26.360 I think somebody had told me I might be getting a call from you at some point.

00:24:30.180 Yeah.

00:24:30.780 I was in Provo Canyon in Utah.

00:24:32.880 And he pulled his car to the side of the road, and we chatted for probably a half an hour.

00:24:39.100 And I asked you some, I think, some pretty tough questions.

00:24:44.540 Right?

00:24:45.420 Yes.

00:24:46.020 Starting with, are you concerned with the eternal welfare of your soul?

00:24:49.720 It's an interesting way to open up a conversation.

00:24:53.360 Right, right.

00:24:53.620 I think his response was, hang on, I think I need to pull over.

00:24:58.100 But we had a great conversation, and really it was about how convicted are you on the principles,

00:25:07.460 the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States?

00:25:11.100 And could you and your wife handle what you were walking into?

00:25:16.280 Is it what you, is it better, worse, or about what you expected?

00:25:24.220 About what I expected, but a little worse in some ways.

00:25:27.940 I think I had overestimated the extent to which the American people would rally quickly

00:25:35.880 against the explosive growth of government that was happening at the time, and underestimated

00:25:42.700 the difficulty of changing things.

00:25:45.940 But in many respects, it's the same.

00:25:47.640 And yes, my wife, Sharon, was with me, and we had to pull over in part because Provo Canyon

00:25:52.340 has a lot of dead cell phone spots, and in part because I wanted to make sure I could

00:25:56.800 pay full attention to our conversation.

00:25:58.680 There were times when I had to mute it and say, what do you think?

00:26:01.860 I don't know.

00:26:02.800 So let me ask you this.

00:26:04.620 We just did an expose on Joe Biden.

00:26:06.660 He announced that he was running today.

00:26:08.720 And we did an expose, which comes from a couple of really good investigative reporters.

00:26:16.280 One of them is Peter Schweitzer, and the other one is John Solomon.

00:26:21.800 From the Hill.

00:26:22.620 And I mean, they have this thing really locked down.

00:26:26.880 What he and his son and John Kerry's son, they started a fund to be able to, you know, an

00:26:36.340 investment firm.

00:26:37.840 And they started it right after dad was sworn into office.

00:26:41.720 They don't have any experience.

00:26:44.100 And they went over to the Ukraine.

00:26:46.560 They were doing a deal while dad was doing a deal with Ukraine.

00:26:50.740 You know, Joe Biden is very proud that he got an investigator fired over there because of

00:26:56.500 corruption.

00:26:56.880 But what people don't talk about is the fact that that investigator was investigating Joe

00:27:03.520 Biden's son on the board of this very corrupt gas company in the Ukraine.

00:27:08.880 He also went over and did a $1.5 billion deal with the Bank of China.

00:27:15.120 His son did while Joe was meeting with the top ranking officials.

00:27:19.980 He got in.

00:27:21.420 He was they invested in a in the main kind of their Lockheed Martin of China, which was

00:27:29.960 trying to, in fact, did steal some of our stealth technology.

00:27:35.020 They also invested in a company that was a nuclear company that was nailed by the FBI while

00:27:45.020 Joe Biden's son was part of the board, nailed by the FBI for stealing our nuclear secrets.

00:27:52.540 It's such cronyism.

00:27:55.380 Nobody is paying attention to this.

00:27:57.240 And I wondered, and Mike, maybe you can help me out on this.

00:28:00.640 Is that because nobody wants to bring this up because everybody's doing this?

00:28:08.160 I can't imagine that everyone's doing that.

00:28:11.580 That's a pretty big deal.

00:28:12.640 There are people who don't do $1.5 billion in deals in a whole year, you know, lifetime

00:28:19.580 and an eternity.

00:28:20.900 I can't imagine that that is terribly common.

00:28:24.480 And I can't imagine that that's not going to become an issue with the presidential.

00:28:29.420 It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

00:28:31.340 And it's the same kind of thing that, you know, Clinton was doing these shady deals over.

00:28:37.560 Uh, what was it with the, with Gazprom and it really never went anywhere.

00:28:42.700 And it was all, you know, circumstantial evidence.

00:28:46.500 This, he, it's all documented and I'm sure it's all legal, but he is using the muscle of the United

00:28:57.380 States of America when he was vice president.

00:28:59.520 And Peter Schweitzer said he was the most corrupt vice president in all of American history.

00:29:05.260 Do you suppose that a Republican, uh, vice president doing such things would get away with

00:29:10.380 that?

00:29:10.680 No, not have it reported extensively.

00:29:12.300 And John Kerry's son.

00:29:14.560 I mean, when he was secretary of state and Joe Biden was the vice president and they had

00:29:19.520 all this power, the government of China was giving their sons $1.5 billion to invest.

00:29:29.920 That's very impressive and very stunning in its significance for our system of government.

00:29:36.360 So I'm, I'm, I guess what I'm asking is, uh, you know, I, in some ways, if we don't turn

00:29:43.040 around, we're, we're probably 1989, uh, Russia where people in your position, people in Washington

00:29:52.800 might begin to see the handwriting on the wall and say, you know what, we're not going to

00:29:57.100 turn this ship.

00:29:58.120 I'm already positioning myself for what comes after.

00:30:02.040 And what comes after this is probably a really nasty, uh, oligarchy where you've got these

00:30:08.480 people who are just pulling all the strings is, are, are, is corruption so bad in Washington

00:30:15.840 that nobody cares about this or do they not know?

00:30:19.280 Look, I don't think that Washington is the kind of place where no one cares about this.

00:30:25.140 I suspect it has more to do with them not knowing.

00:30:28.340 I also gather that someone running for president, uh, if he has done, this is going to have that

00:30:35.520 exposed and that's going to become a problem for him.

00:30:38.480 Are you concerned, Mike, about, uh, the Democrats that are running?

00:30:44.780 Is there anybody, I know you, you get along with Bernie Sanders, but you don't agree with

00:30:49.620 any of his policies.

00:30:51.560 Um, do you see anybody on the other side?

00:30:54.780 You don't even have to name a name, but do you see anybody on the other side that you think

00:30:59.180 isn't really dangerous to the constitutional Republic?

00:31:04.060 Well, let me put it this way.

00:31:05.060 I see every single democratic presidential candidate seems to be moving to the left and

00:31:11.720 they're all moving in lockstep.

00:31:13.240 It's like a one way leftward turning ratchet.

00:31:15.780 Each time any one of them moves further to the left, they all try to outdo each other.

00:31:20.860 And it doesn't go the other way.

00:31:22.140 No, it doesn't go the other way.

00:31:24.320 And the problem is this is not just a sort of red team versus blue team, team A versus

00:31:30.380 team B sort of a thing.

00:31:31.480 This is a different political ideology.

00:31:33.660 It's a different concept of what government is, what it's for, and what dangers it poses

00:31:38.440 to the American people.

00:31:40.960 How close are we to turning on the constitution and declaration and not being able to reel it

00:31:52.080 back?

00:31:52.420 You know, I tend to believe, Glenn, that we're always close to that point.

00:31:59.160 I've come to believe that we have been close to that point at every moment since the American

00:32:05.100 revolution.

00:32:06.480 Freedom and constitutionally limited government, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,

00:32:12.160 the notion of the inherent dignity of the immortal human soul relative to a big brooding omnipresence

00:32:18.680 of a government.

00:32:19.740 These are things that are part of human nature.

00:32:22.600 And unless we make a deliberate decision that we're not going to have those things, and unless

00:32:26.580 that decision is remade every day and within every generation, we will always reach that

00:32:31.460 point you described.

00:32:32.040 But we've not been to a place to where the left, for instance, on the Second Amendment,

00:32:38.560 you've got to watch about eight fronts on that.

00:32:41.380 They're going through the courts.

00:32:42.660 They're going through the banking system.

00:32:44.320 They're doing all kinds of stuff right now, and any of them could mean the end of the

00:32:52.320 Second Amendment as we know it.

00:32:54.780 That's right.

00:32:55.420 People trying to punish others for engaging in certain types of businesses.

00:32:59.720 If you transact in firearms, for example, you might find it difficult to get along in the

00:33:05.900 banking world or any other disfavored industry.

00:33:09.340 Uh, anything deemed sufficiently unwoke, uh, runs the risk of falling victim to that kind

00:33:15.800 of activity.

00:33:16.140 Did you see, did you see the AOC, um, questioning of, uh, the bankers, which he said to the head

00:33:23.620 of Wells Fargo?

00:33:24.760 No.

00:33:25.280 Uh, oh my gosh.

00:33:26.360 Um, you know what, let me take a break and then we're going to find that audio, uh, cause

00:33:29.560 you have to hear it where she was basically threatening the banks, uh, saying you're engaging in

00:33:35.720 lending, you know, money to oil companies.

00:33:39.860 We're going to start holding you responsible for anytime anything goes wrong and climate

00:33:44.000 change.

00:33:44.380 It's remarkable.

00:33:46.040 We'll get your thoughts on that here coming up in a second.

00:33:48.100 First, we break.

00:33:51.200 Also to update you, we have, uh, the first part of the Biden expose.

00:33:55.640 This is on Ukraine, and this is now available for free on YouTube.

00:33:59.060 Um, it's, uh, you can also go to my Twitter at, uh, world of stew and, uh, I am putting the

00:34:03.720 link up there right now, so make sure you watch that because this has been something

00:34:06.860 that has only been available to subscribers.

00:34:08.840 It's now free because of the Biden announcement.

00:34:11.640 We want people to actually, you know, be able to dig in there.

00:34:14.620 And, you know, the Ukraine thing is not the big one.

00:34:17.060 The China thing, Ukraine, you'll watch as Pat watched this the other day and he came

00:34:21.460 in, he's, and he was all talking about just a crane.

00:34:23.400 And I was like, no, no, no, wait, watch part two of this.

00:34:26.240 It's even worse than that.

00:34:27.880 And he couldn't imagine how it could be worse.

00:34:30.040 It is.

00:34:30.740 Um, Mike Lee will continue to join us here in a second.

00:34:33.860 We want to talk to him also about his new book, our lost declaration, our lost declaration

00:34:38.900 well worth having in hard cover in your home.

00:34:43.620 Give it to your kids, give it to your grandkids and keep a copy for yourself.

00:34:47.760 It's really important.

00:34:49.380 Mike Lee, our lost declaration.

00:34:52.400 CarShield is our sponsor this half hour.

00:34:54.540 CarShield, uh, knows that it is not the same.

00:34:57.480 I mean, when I was, you know, when I was dumb enough to buy a DeLorean back in the eighties,

00:35:02.840 oof, was that a stupid move?

00:35:05.040 Uh, I remember seeing the check engine light and the, and the temperature gauge going up

00:35:11.700 at a stoplight and going, oh my gosh, I am so screwed and I don't have the money to fix

00:35:15.520 it.

00:35:16.920 Uh, now fixing your car is not a quick run to pep boys.

00:35:21.360 There are things that you cannot do.

00:35:23.200 And how do you pay for a sensor?

00:35:25.000 That's a thousand dollars.

00:35:27.340 That's what repairs on cars are like.

00:35:29.560 Now, when your warranty is done, you have to have extended coverage.

00:35:34.560 CarShield will cover you and take care of you every step of the way.

00:35:55.400 Mike Lee, who has just penned a new book that is important for everybody's collection,

00:36:01.800 important to read, but also important to keep.

00:36:04.180 Our lost declaration is the name of the book by Senator Mike Lee.

00:36:07.960 He's with us here for, uh, probably about another 40 minutes.

00:36:11.380 Um, and then he's going to be on TV with me tonight.

00:36:14.080 Uh, lots to talk to him about.

00:36:15.840 I want to go over this audio, uh, from, uh, Casio Cortez and what she was saying to, uh,

00:36:23.000 the Wells Fargo and other banking executives.

00:36:26.080 Listen, Mr. Sloan, why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the

00:36:33.160 caging of children to begin with?

00:36:34.580 Uh, I, I don't know how to answer that question because we weren't.

00:36:39.220 Uh, so in finance, you've, you were financing and involved in debt financing, of course,

00:36:45.680 civic and geo group, correct?

00:36:47.100 For, for a period of time we were involved in financing.

00:36:50.180 One of the firms were not anymore.

00:36:51.740 And the other, I'm not familiar with the, the specific, uh, assertion that you're making,

00:36:56.900 but we weren't directly involved in that.

00:36:58.580 Okay.

00:36:59.000 So these companies run, um, private detention facilities run by ice, which, uh, which is

00:37:04.180 involved in, in caging children, but I'll, I'll move on.

00:37:08.600 So she goes on to talk about oil spills and climate change and you're lending money to

00:37:15.240 oil companies.

00:37:16.080 So aren't you responsible?

00:37:17.480 Shouldn't we hold you responsible for climate change damage?

00:37:20.080 Your thoughts?

00:37:22.360 Well, first of all, she's shaming someone for being the banking intermediary for someone

00:37:28.660 assisting a law enforcement agency.

00:37:31.060 Correct.

00:37:31.700 If she wants to disagree with our laws, if she wants to disagree with how they're enforced,

00:37:36.820 she ought to take that up with lawmakers and law enforcement and law enforcers.

00:37:40.360 I don't quite understand why it makes sense to take that up with.

00:37:43.980 So I'll tell you why.

00:37:44.860 Here it is.

00:37:45.440 He said for a period of time, we were involved with financing.

00:37:48.880 One of the firms, uh, we were not, uh, we're not anymore.

00:37:52.960 So here's the thing.

00:37:55.040 They were Wells Fargo was featured November, 2016 in a report along with line, other banks

00:38:00.780 of lending to core civic and geo group, uh, 444 million, blah, blah, blah.

00:38:05.340 The same, uh, period of time in which the photo of caged children misattributed to the

00:38:10.640 Trump administration was taking, uh, was taken Wells Fargo and other banks decided

00:38:15.380 to reevaluate their lending activity to private prisons amid the controversy over the Trump

00:38:21.220 administration's immigration policies.

00:38:23.100 So she, the reason why she's bringing it up is because it's working.

00:38:26.520 The public shaming, public shaming of people who dare to provide financing for another company

00:38:33.200 that provides outsourced law enforcement assistance.

00:38:36.440 You know, you know, the government agency, you know, the Cuomo is doing that with the

00:38:39.940 banking, uh, executives in New York.

00:38:42.620 If you lend money to anybody who is a gun manufacturer or a gun, uh, store, we're going

00:38:50.340 to have to send in more investigators because we think those guys are up to shady things.

00:38:54.720 So if you want your, you want your approval every year, you want your audit to go smoothly.

00:39:00.660 Don't do business with them.

00:39:03.460 I suppose the good news here is that we're not dealing with the government itself forcing

00:39:08.980 it.

00:39:09.280 We're dealing in some ways with, uh, shaming by public officials through private channels

00:39:16.720 and sometimes with a public stage.

00:39:19.360 I mean, isn't that the same as the brown shirts?

00:39:22.440 It wasn't the government.

00:39:23.560 It was an outside of the government arm.

00:39:25.940 Yeah.

00:39:26.060 Now people can still arrange financing from another bank, but what happens when everyone

00:39:30.840 turns against all other banks?

00:39:32.640 Correct.

00:39:32.820 Does that mean nobody will be able to enter into a contract to provide support for a law

00:39:36.960 enforcement agency?

00:39:37.940 Right.

00:39:38.380 And if that happens, what does that do to our ability to enforce the law?

00:39:44.880 What does that do to president Obama's administration's ability to cage children as, uh, as happened?

00:39:50.560 We are, we are sitting here at a time where people are not abiding by the law.

00:39:56.340 We just had the district attorney here in Dallas say that he is no longer going to prosecute

00:40:01.840 crimes.

00:40:02.720 If you break into somebody's house or their store and you steal something less than $750

00:40:09.940 and you need it, if you were just stealing it to enrich yourself, he'll prosecute.

00:40:17.000 But if you need it, he won't prosecute.

00:40:20.860 Now that's interesting.

00:40:23.060 Hang on, hang on.

00:40:24.120 We got to take a break.

00:40:25.340 We'll, we'll get your response on that.

00:40:27.640 And I want to talk to you about our lost declaration, the book that is out and the document itself.

00:40:34.680 It is critical that we understand this document and tie it directly to the constitution.

00:40:42.120 More with Mike Lee in just a moment.

00:40:47.000 Uh, let me tell you about American financing.

00:40:49.560 American financing is this great, uh, company that is, was started by a family, still run

00:40:54.740 by a family.

00:40:55.700 Uh, and it is, uh, a different way to do financing.

00:41:00.320 They don't, they're not a bank and they don't take kickbacks from the bank.

00:41:03.740 So when they go out and they look for, you know, loans, they're not on, they're, they're

00:41:09.580 not on commission.

00:41:10.340 So they don't, they don't have to make this loan and they're not getting, you know, some

00:41:15.460 sort of a kickback from a bank who's pressuring these mortgage companies.

00:41:19.680 Hey, sell this loan and we'll give you a kickback.

00:41:21.960 They don't do that.

00:41:23.040 They work for you.

00:41:24.140 So they're going to find the right mortgage for you that works and keeps your family safe

00:41:29.460 and keeps your, your home in your possession.

00:41:32.000 It's American financing.net.

00:41:34.560 They are really fast.

00:41:35.880 They're really great to work with.

00:41:37.520 It's American financing.net American financing.net call 800-906-2440 800-906-2440 American financing.net

00:41:47.720 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:41:53.240 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:41:55.380 Our country is way off track.

00:42:01.340 And I think one of the reasons is, is we, we don't understand the declaration of independence.

00:42:08.300 We don't understand its role.

00:42:10.240 We don't understand what it means.

00:42:12.500 We don't understand really why it was written.

00:42:15.860 And we look at this and say, well, this is a failure because we haven't done all those

00:42:20.500 things.

00:42:21.520 Well, there's a reason.

00:42:22.960 There's a reason why that's an important observation, but the conclusion we're coming

00:42:30.320 to is wrong.

00:42:32.040 And we're going to talk to Mike Lee, the author of our lost declaration.

00:42:36.840 Senator Mike Lee is in studio with us.

00:42:39.280 We'll talk about that and much more in one minute.

00:42:46.000 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:42:48.540 If you're in constant pain, um, I understand.

00:42:51.420 I really do for, uh, many years, uh, I was in constant unrelenting, uh, pain, uh, to the

00:42:59.220 point to where I was not sure I could, uh, do my job anymore.

00:43:03.700 And I was not, I was not convinced I could live like that, uh, very much longer.

00:43:10.160 And it was, uh, my wife that saved me.

00:43:13.480 And I know there's a ton of people that are listening right now.

00:43:18.060 Maybe it's you that are in pain.

00:43:19.960 Maybe you're a veteran and you just can't get out of the pain.

00:43:23.760 May I please ask you to try relief factor?

00:43:28.800 Just try it.

00:43:29.680 I started taking it because my wife said something like that.

00:43:34.220 And so I did relief factor at relieffactor.com.

00:43:38.180 They ask you to try it for three weeks.

00:43:39.880 You take it three times a day and three weeks.

00:43:43.280 And if you see results, continue to take it in order more.

00:43:47.060 If you don't stop taking it, it reduces inflammation, which is a big part of our pain.

00:43:53.420 It has worked for me and it works for 70% of the people who try it.

00:43:57.000 So please give it a whirl.

00:43:58.860 You've got nothing.

00:43:59.520 You're going to lose 20 bucks if it doesn't work, but if it does work, you are going to

00:44:03.600 get your life back.

00:44:15.740 Senator Mike Lee, just an absolute wall around our Constitution, and we are pleased to have

00:44:35.260 him in studio.

00:44:37.060 Hi, Mike.

00:44:37.940 Great to be with you.

00:44:38.620 Thank you.

00:44:38.920 So you've written a new book called Our Lost Declaration, which is a really important book,

00:44:45.500 I think, and everybody should have at least one copy, hard copy, to be able to keep and

00:44:50.760 one to give to your kids or your grandkids.

00:44:54.440 Mike, my understanding of the Declaration of Independence has changed so much.

00:44:59.820 I just love this document.

00:45:01.680 I just love it.

00:45:02.880 And I look at it as it's our mission statement.

00:45:05.700 And everybody says, well, we haven't done those things.

00:45:10.220 Well, no, because they're really hard.

00:45:12.580 That's an aspirational thing that no one had ever said before.

00:45:16.780 And if we had accomplished all those things, it'd be time for a new mission statement.

00:45:21.900 It would.

00:45:23.060 And this mission statement remains achievable.

00:45:26.580 It remains desirable.

00:45:28.280 But we've drifted from that understanding.

00:45:30.780 Look, our children have been taught a distorted version of history.

00:45:35.760 One that badly misstates the role and the mission of government and the risks associated with

00:45:42.260 its abuse.

00:45:43.200 I wrote this book to help fix that, to give people the ability to help their children and

00:45:48.340 their grandchildren and themselves learn what they wish were being taught in our public schools

00:45:53.920 and what used to be taught in our public schools.

00:45:56.980 This is a companion book to another one I wrote a few years ago about the Constitution.

00:46:00.540 But the more I've researched and read into the Constitution, and it's important, the more

00:46:05.380 I've come to realize you can't fully understand and appreciate and implement the Constitution

00:46:10.380 without understanding the Declaration and where it came from.

00:46:12.840 It is the Declaration of Independence is the mission statement.

00:46:17.860 We want to start a country and it's going to be this.

00:46:21.580 And this is why we have to start our own country, because of these problems.

00:46:26.020 But it leads with, this is who we're going to be.

00:46:30.140 The Constitution is the owner's manual.

00:46:33.620 It's how to make that mission statement, or quite frankly, any mission statement, work.

00:46:39.960 That's right.

00:46:40.640 The Constitution is the picture frame.

00:46:43.160 The Declaration is the picture.

00:46:44.820 Correct.

00:46:45.180 It's the vision for where we want to go.

00:46:46.600 Correct.

00:46:46.880 It's also the vision for what happens when things go dangerously off course.

00:46:51.380 So can I ask you a question on the Declaration?

00:46:54.300 It says, and for these purposes, governments are instituted among men, and what the purposes

00:47:02.420 are, are to protect those rights given by God.

00:47:06.600 And it is the duty, if a government, I'm badly mangling it now, I'm sorry, but if the government

00:47:15.720 goes awry and starts to go against those rights, and they're not protecting those rights, it

00:47:21.900 is the right and the duty of the people to alter or abolish and institute a new system that

00:47:31.940 will better serve that purpose, right?

00:47:35.320 Yeah.

00:47:35.680 So in the case of the Civil War, that was not what they were trying to do.

00:47:41.420 They were not trying to protect rights.

00:47:44.120 They said they were because they were saying state rights, but they were violating all

00:47:47.820 men are created equal.

00:47:48.980 They were violating the basic human rights.

00:47:52.480 If a government becomes so horrible that it is taking away our rights and it is mangling

00:48:00.220 everything that we've ever stood for, why doesn't a state have the right to say, no, I want

00:48:07.660 to alter or abolish it.

00:48:09.740 And I'm going over here because we believe for our own safety and happiness and the safety

00:48:15.160 of those rights, we can come up with a better way of doing it.

00:48:20.240 That right exists.

00:48:21.400 I would clarify one thing there.

00:48:23.000 You referred to state.

00:48:24.360 It's not the state itself.

00:48:25.540 A state is another government.

00:48:27.020 It's another layer of government.

00:48:28.220 It's ultimately the people that have it.

00:48:30.020 Governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

00:48:34.580 Okay.

00:48:34.720 Whenever government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people

00:48:38.180 to alter or abolish it, to alter or abolish their form of government.

00:48:42.460 And so that recognizes this beautiful language penned by Thomas Jefferson some two and a half

00:48:48.420 centuries ago, identifies the fact that these laws exist in a state of nature.

00:48:53.240 They exist out there.

00:48:54.680 They are pre-state.

00:48:56.980 They're pre-government.

00:48:58.460 They exist because we exist and because God created us.

00:49:02.400 And we are the sovereigns.

00:49:05.000 That's what was so revolutionary about this document.

00:49:07.560 And it's that thought, the idea that we have God-given rights, that government is there

00:49:12.920 to serve us and not the other way around.

00:49:14.720 It's considered revolutionary today, sadly, because we've neglected it.

00:49:18.260 The idea that Jefferson was a mentally tortured man that lived in one foot in slavery, one foot

00:49:31.400 out, I don't think is entirely accurate, especially if you read the first draft.

00:49:37.460 And it was two states.

00:49:39.740 I mean, Hancock said, and I think he was right on this.

00:49:43.620 Look, the king is going to divide us.

00:49:48.420 If there's any daylight between any of us 13, he is going to use that, and he's going

00:49:54.820 to flip those people who have any kind of daylight.

00:49:57.840 He will worm his way in, and he will have you working against us.

00:50:02.260 So we have to be in lockstep on everything.

00:50:06.140 So two states said no to Jefferson's proposal in the first draft of abolishing slavery.

00:50:12.620 That's right.

00:50:13.820 And I talk about this in our last declaration.

00:50:16.420 In researching this, I discovered how much Jefferson really wanted to put language in

00:50:21.740 it, identifying as one of the grievances against King George III that he had perpetuated slavery

00:50:27.920 within the American colonies, doing so perhaps even to destabilize them and to make them dependent

00:50:33.060 on that evil, vile institution.

00:50:35.200 And as I researched for this book, I also discovered that Jefferson, early in his career, within

00:50:42.040 the state of Virginia, tried to get the state of Virginia to abolish slavery.

00:50:45.600 And later in his career, too.

00:50:47.560 He tried several times.

00:50:48.900 He tried several times.

00:50:50.000 Now, I acknowledge in the book, he does have a complicated relationship with slavery, because

00:50:56.200 even as he's trying to do all this, he still owns slaves.

00:50:58.400 But he can't get rid of them because of state law.

00:51:00.580 He can't.

00:51:02.220 Unlike George Washington, he didn't make arrangements for them to be freed after he and his wife

00:51:07.140 had done it.

00:51:07.440 Uh-uh-uh.

00:51:08.020 Not only that, he couldn't because he was in debt.

00:51:10.960 The law stated at the time, if you're in debt at the time of your death, you cannot get rid

00:51:16.120 of that property.

00:51:16.920 Which is one of the great tragedies of the Jefferson estate, is that because of those very same

00:51:22.380 debts, after he died, his slaves were sold.

00:51:26.120 And in many instances, families were separated and sent to different parts of the country.

00:51:30.600 So yeah, Jefferson had a complicated relationship with this, but he knew what was wrong.

00:51:34.900 And he did try to do something about it.

00:51:37.020 He even put language in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence to stop it.

00:51:41.960 And so we have to remember that Jefferson himself understood the nature of this.

00:51:48.380 He was able to identify good from evil and identify this as part of the evil column.

00:51:54.660 Should they go back in a time machine?

00:51:58.100 Impossible question.

00:52:00.480 You're there.

00:52:02.080 Do you argue and say, guys, we cannot put this declaration together unless it includes slavery?

00:52:10.700 Do you?

00:52:12.020 I think every one of us would probably like to imagine that that is what we would say.

00:52:18.360 Slavery is so abhorrent, and we're able to see that today.

00:52:22.380 And so I think most of us would like to believe that if we were there, we would say, OK, let's

00:52:28.140 rally around this.

00:52:29.080 So let me make a real life situation.

00:52:31.320 Let's say for some reason, you know, Washington implodes and you're not there.

00:52:35.040 But a lot of the representatives, you know, our government is gone.

00:52:38.660 We have to start over and we have to fight against an outside force.

00:52:43.840 And we've got 40 states and 10 of them will not go for, hey, a pro life declaration.

00:52:54.440 We are going to all people are created equal and and endowed by their creator.

00:53:00.520 And we have to protect life.

00:53:01.940 And we believe life begins at conception or whatever.

00:53:05.700 And you've got 10 states that don't do it.

00:53:08.340 It's the same kind of situation.

00:53:11.160 Would you would you see a reason to compromise on that principle to be able to gather a free country and and take care of it later?

00:53:24.280 You would hope.

00:53:25.420 Yes, I believe I would, which is illustrative here, especially if we couldn't survive without those states unwilling to go along with it.

00:53:34.560 And that, I think, was quite arguably the case at the time of the revolution.

00:53:38.960 These were 13 colonies.

00:53:41.480 They understood that unless they were all united, they couldn't survive, not militarily, not economically.

00:53:46.700 And those two things were interrelated.

00:53:48.520 And you couldn't get more pro life than you are.

00:53:52.500 That's correct.

00:53:53.520 And and if you couldn't survive and cobble this country back together because you were pro life and the and some states were not, you would still say, OK,

00:54:04.440 well, let's work towards that.

00:54:06.280 That's exactly right.

00:54:07.360 And so this is one of the reasons I tell the story about Jefferson's attempts to get rid of slavery in this book, in our lost declaration.

00:54:15.720 I think it's important for us to understand the historical context in which he operated.

00:54:20.680 Back with Mike Lee in just a second.

00:55:03.840 Every year, the beds, everything would go outside and she would clean the house and we would it would take us weeks and everything had to be cleaned from top to bottom.

00:55:14.620 Where did she was?

00:55:15.660 Did you wrote you had a rotation here?

00:55:17.180 How did you sleep?

00:55:17.900 Where did you sit?

00:55:18.540 There's a reason I'm an alcoholic.

00:55:20.540 OK, I'm just saying.

00:55:21.760 So if you would like to have spring, you know, freshen up the home, you could do that or you could call blinds dot com and just get some blinds.

00:55:30.920 And that way you're not seeing the dust so much.

00:55:32.860 You know what I'm saying?

00:55:34.000 That's kind of dirty.

00:55:34.720 Really?

00:55:35.080 Let me just adjust the blinds here a little bit.

00:55:37.200 Blind shade shutters or drapes, whatever it is you're needing.

00:55:39.980 It can rejuvenate the feel of one room or your entire house.

00:55:44.860 The whole experience is really, really easy and it's they've actually made it so it's fun.

00:55:50.400 You can install them yourself.

00:55:51.540 You could have professional do it, but they make it super easy.

00:55:54.820 If you mismeasure, they've got the replacement.

00:55:57.780 Everything is just really easy.

00:56:00.620 It's blinds dot com.

00:56:21.660 We pause for 10 seconds station ID.

00:56:24.820 So, Mike, let me just pull away from the declaration here for just a second and talk to you a little bit about Bernie Sanders and and you must know Joe Biden real well as well.

00:56:50.380 Not nearly as well as I know my colleagues in the Senate.

00:56:52.400 Joe Biden and I never served in the Senate at the same time, beyond the fact that he was vice president and therefore president of the Senate when I was first sworn in.

00:57:00.100 But we never served as senators at the same time.

00:57:02.740 OK, they're both.

00:57:05.040 That's number one and number two running against Donald Trump.

00:57:10.860 Do you have any thoughts on those guys that you.

00:57:13.740 Look, as as as between the two, I see Bernie is having much more contact with familiarity with the Democratic presidential election voting base than than does Biden.

00:57:30.000 I think Sanders has a leg up on him.

00:57:32.120 And if those were the two front runners, I suspect that it would end up being Sanders as their nominee.

00:57:36.840 Wow.

00:57:37.760 So I talked to.

00:57:40.260 I talked to a former senator recently, and I don't want to give his name, but somebody that both sides of the aisle really, really deeply respect.

00:57:50.640 And he said, I said, what's happening with the Democrats?

00:57:55.220 And he said, they're afraid.

00:57:58.020 He said the the any anybody who has anything different to say than these revolutionaries, he said, they're not saying it, at least out loud, because they're afraid because these guys are wielding so much power.

00:58:12.980 They carry a very big stick.

00:58:15.120 Would you agree with that?

00:58:16.440 Yeah.

00:58:16.980 Yeah, I think that's right.

00:58:17.720 I think ideologically taken to its logical conclusion.

00:58:22.840 This is where the Democratic Party goes.

00:58:24.940 It shouldn't be altogether surprising to us when you say I want bigger government, when I say when you say I want government to take on a greater role.

00:58:32.880 This is naturally where it leads.

00:58:34.800 That's why it's so dangerous.

00:58:36.540 I'm interested, Mike, to hear your thoughts because you're working with, I think, six presidential candidates, I think, out of the Senate right now.

00:58:43.760 Now, we know about Sanders, but I'd like to get a paragraph from you.

00:58:47.720 Maybe we can go through because you've dealt with all of them and, you know, a little bit.

00:58:50.960 What would we expect from someone and where I don't know?

00:58:54.400 How do you look at how do you look at these as someone who has real inside knowledge?

00:58:58.580 We're going to be doing Glenn Beck's 2019 NFL draft here just a little bit.

00:59:02.260 And I assume you have more knowledge than he does on that topic.

00:59:05.380 Yeah.

00:59:05.700 So let's let's.

00:59:07.700 Which is a high standard.

00:59:08.460 Yeah.

00:59:09.100 Can we can we start with Cory Booker?

00:59:11.280 Because here's what he seems like to the average person, a total and complete fraud.

00:59:18.880 I mean, I am starting to confirm that.

00:59:21.640 No, I know.

00:59:22.560 But I'm saying that's how that's how I look at him is just somebody will say or do anything because he wants the job.

00:59:28.220 Look, I I really like the guy.

00:59:31.940 I don't agree with him on a lot of issues.

00:59:35.780 I have worked with him on things like criminal justice reform.

00:59:38.860 The first time I met Cory Booker was the day he was sworn into the Senate.

00:59:43.100 I believe it was October 31st, 2012.

00:59:47.100 And he came up and introduced himself and said, my name is Cory Booker and I want to work with you on criminal justice reform.

00:59:52.620 We did.

00:59:53.580 He and I serve on the Judiciary Committee together.

00:59:55.580 We frequently text each other during hearings.

00:59:58.220 Including and especially really contentious hearings.

01:00:00.620 We'll give live action commentary on each other's questions.

01:00:04.660 Really?

01:00:05.260 He's got a good sense of humor.

01:00:06.800 That's really cool.

01:00:08.140 This is exactly what we're looking for.

01:00:10.360 Adam, Mike Lee.

01:00:10.880 We've got that real analysis.

01:00:12.180 How about Kamala Harris?

01:00:13.740 Kamala Harris is one of our newer members.

01:00:16.960 I don't know her as well as I know Cory.

01:00:18.800 She has a lot of experience in politics.

01:00:23.360 Came to this job after having served in high positions of authority in the California state government.

01:00:29.180 And she's someone who's very outspoken.

01:00:33.480 And seems to have a good grasp of popular culture.

01:00:38.060 And is gaining a lot of momentum because of that.

01:00:40.340 All right.

01:00:41.660 Amy Klobuchar.

01:00:42.880 Amy Klobuchar and I work on the Antitrust Subcommittee together.

01:00:47.560 We've alternated as chair and ranking member of the Antitrust Subcommittee for years.

01:00:53.400 Depending on who's in the majority.

01:00:55.480 We frequently will have conversations about when and whether and under what circumstances to have antitrust hearings.

01:01:01.560 Sometimes we'll do the entire thing by emoji texts back and forth.

01:01:05.920 One time we decided to hold a telecom antitrust related hearing entirely through emojis.

01:01:11.980 This is remarkable insight to the function of our government.

01:01:15.720 I think so.

01:01:17.140 Okay.

01:01:17.880 Let's go Elizabeth Warren.

01:01:20.000 Elizabeth Warren is a law professor.

01:01:22.720 Is someone who knows the law really well.

01:01:25.460 Is very serious and very much a champion of sort of the populist wing of the Democratic Party.

01:01:33.460 Although these days they seem to be trying to out-populist each other.

01:01:36.900 Yeah.

01:01:37.180 To out-left each other.

01:01:38.280 I'm trying to find these other wings.

01:01:39.660 I just keep finding this one wing.

01:01:41.100 Yeah.

01:01:41.400 When I look at it.

01:01:41.960 And it's a wing that keeps moving further in the same direction.

01:01:44.600 Yeah.

01:01:44.680 Yeah.

01:01:44.880 It's a tighter and tighter circle that that bird is flying in.

01:01:48.620 And Kirsten Gillibrand.

01:01:50.120 Kirsten Gillibrand is very friendly.

01:01:52.080 Always smiling.

01:01:53.440 Always has something positive to say.

01:01:55.920 And has an upbeat nature about her.

01:01:58.900 And I think will serve her well as a candidate.

01:02:00.840 See, this is why everybody gets along with Mike.

01:02:04.900 Is because, you know, he never, he doesn't say bad things about people.

01:02:09.200 Well, look, if we want to talk about policy, I can identify things about every one of them.

01:02:13.120 Where I strongly disagree with them.

01:02:14.700 And why they would not be my choice to be the next president of the United States.

01:02:19.040 One that you disagree with the most, do you think?

01:02:21.520 Which one?

01:02:22.160 Which individual do I agree with?

01:02:24.000 Disagree with.

01:02:24.660 Disagree with most.

01:02:26.720 Let's see.

01:02:27.720 As much as I love the guy, I probably disagree most fundamentally with Bernie Sanders.

01:02:36.640 Yeah.

01:02:36.840 That he has identified himself in the past as a socialist.

01:02:40.840 Yeah.

01:02:41.600 Which makes him somewhat unique in the sense that he's one of the few actually willing to

01:02:47.180 identify himself as such.

01:02:48.480 I actually, I understand your respect for him because I have respect in the same way.

01:02:53.700 He at least isn't afraid to say it.

01:02:55.280 Yeah.

01:02:55.480 And I took my honeymoon in the Soviet Union.

01:02:57.760 What?

01:02:58.580 What?

01:02:59.200 Right.

01:02:59.640 Right.

01:02:59.860 I mean, he is.

01:03:01.260 Yeah.

01:03:01.540 He is who he says he is.

01:03:03.060 And that person you can actually talk to and because he's a he's an honest broker.

01:03:08.120 He is.

01:03:08.760 And he's also a champion for certain constitutional issues where he and I happen to agree.

01:03:12.940 Yeah.

01:03:13.320 Thank you, Mike.

01:03:14.060 Last Constitution is the name of the book.

01:03:16.040 All right.

01:03:16.340 Let me tell you about filter by.

01:03:18.340 Or the declaration.

01:03:19.240 One of the two.

01:03:19.920 One of those big documents.

01:03:20.840 What did I say?

01:03:21.140 Lost Constitution.

01:03:21.980 That was the prequel.

01:03:23.680 Yes.

01:03:24.120 Lost declaration.

01:03:25.220 Get it now.

01:03:25.860 Mike Lee.

01:03:26.880 All right.

01:03:27.240 Filter by.

01:03:28.280 If you are sneezing all the time, it's because spring has sprung and burst from the trees.

01:03:34.420 That's what that green pollen is.

01:03:36.260 If you if you're lucky enough to have some of that on your car and that is going into your

01:03:40.980 house and into your lungs and into your nose.

01:03:42.880 And you need a new filter because your your air handling system has already gone through

01:03:48.820 winter and it's been a tough winter with the windows closed.

01:03:52.180 It is full of gunk.

01:03:54.500 Now come spring, you need the new filter and you can get one at filter by dot com filter

01:03:59.880 by dot com.

01:04:01.440 If you order the filter from them, it'll come within 24 hours and arrive at your doorstep.

01:04:11.780 filter, send it automatically so you never have to think about it again.

01:04:15.180 It is filter by dot com filter by dot com.

01:04:20.320 Go there now.

01:05:02.020 If you use the promo code Glenn, Mike, let's talk a little bit about the border and what's

01:05:09.420 happening on the border.

01:05:10.760 There is no rational way to look at what's happening now on the border and not see this

01:05:16.880 as a national emergency.

01:05:19.240 That's right.

01:05:19.660 That's exactly right.

01:05:20.640 And I say that as one who has lived on the U.S.

01:05:23.900 border for two years.

01:05:24.760 I was a quarter century ago.

01:05:26.180 I was a missionary in the McAllen, Texas area and lived among people on the border, communicated

01:05:32.060 every day, lived, worked among those primarily who were either immigrants or the children of

01:05:38.220 immigrants.

01:05:38.820 And I can tell you that even back then, there was no group of people more directly affected

01:05:44.060 by uncontrolled illegal immigration than those who were themselves recent immigrants.

01:05:49.640 But that is even more so today.

01:05:51.640 You've got these huge caravans, thousands of people coming across at once, children being

01:05:56.640 trafficked for the most vile, horrible reasons imaginable, all pouring into this country in

01:06:03.920 uncontrolled but but coordinated waves.

01:06:07.200 This is a threat to our security.

01:06:11.180 So what can we do?

01:06:14.700 What can we do?

01:06:15.940 One of the best things that we can do is to continue to devote efforts to the construction

01:06:22.700 of some type of border barrier.

01:06:25.100 Call it a wall, call it a fence, call it anything you want.

01:06:27.260 Is there a legal way the president can get that done without Congress?

01:06:32.940 Well, the president has at his disposal several avenues for getting some of that funding.

01:06:38.640 He got some of the funding explicitly approved by Congress.

01:06:41.440 He has discretion under a couple of statutes that he has invoked to get more funding.

01:06:47.420 And I think it's good that he's establishing border barrier.

01:06:51.320 One of the reasons why I think this is important is because this tends to direct this traffic,

01:06:57.260 especially of those who are trafficking in children, toward the lawful points of entry.

01:07:01.300 And it's at the points of entry where you've got experts who are able to identify signs of human

01:07:06.680 trafficking and spot them and stop them dead in their tracks.

01:07:09.660 Whereas if they come across along infinite points in between lawful points of entry and

01:07:16.800 then they go seek asylum, it's more difficult to detect which ones are traffickers and which

01:07:21.960 ones are authentically coming through on their own and not as part of some sort of corrupt

01:07:27.780 organization.

01:07:29.560 Do you want to ask a question about the border?

01:07:32.160 Yeah.

01:07:32.640 Let me switch to the Mueller report.

01:07:36.940 Thoughts on the Mueller report?

01:07:38.080 These guys spent two years looking under every stone for information about collusion.

01:07:46.320 What did they come up with two years later?

01:07:48.380 Nothing.

01:07:49.440 Not a single scintilla of evidence supporting collusion with the Russian government, which

01:07:55.800 was what sparked this entire thing to begin with.

01:07:58.140 They concluded, moreover, that in addition to this, there was no basis upon which they could

01:08:03.120 charge President Trump with criminal activity.

01:08:06.420 Now, here's the spin from the left.

01:08:08.300 The spin from the left is that, well, no, what they said was we found this stuff, but the

01:08:17.320 Justice Department is under his thumb and they're not going to want to prosecute.

01:08:22.040 So I guess we leave it up to you.

01:08:25.300 It's too cute.

01:08:26.100 Too cute by the half.

01:08:26.820 It reminds me of Pinocchio in Shrek 3 when he kept using all these double negatives.

01:08:31.640 It wouldn't be entirely untruthful if I didn't say that I weren't entirely disapproved.

01:08:36.100 You know, it's too cute.

01:08:38.200 Pick a horse and ride it.

01:08:39.800 If you've got evidence, you'd prosecute.

01:08:42.560 If you don't have evidence, which they don't, they're not going to.

01:08:46.260 And so it's now dismissed as a political decision, which it ultimately is.

01:08:51.100 I think it would be a big mistake, both politically and speaking more broadly, ecumenically.

01:08:59.380 I think it would be a mistake for them to bring impeachment charges because there's not a

01:09:02.800 foundation for it.

01:09:04.140 Is there a, because you hear two sides.

01:09:05.500 One, it was a witch hunt going after Donald Trump.

01:09:08.000 The other side is it's we found more evidence than could ever be needed for impeachment in

01:09:11.740 its open and shut case.

01:09:13.880 To me, there's a midpoint there of saying it's only a witch hunt if all you cared about

01:09:18.460 was Donald Trump, right?

01:09:19.820 There was an underlying activity from the Russians that is serious.

01:09:24.140 And, you know, that's the title of the report.

01:09:25.680 It's about Russian influence into our elections.

01:09:28.060 We found, you know, really detailed processes of how they did this.

01:09:32.020 We found, you know, bank accounts and financial transactions and Bitcoin transfers and IP addresses

01:09:37.480 and all these things.

01:09:38.300 And so I think there was value to this investigation.

01:09:40.960 I think it was the media and largely the left that just made this into a Donald Trump attack

01:09:45.600 machine and it kind of overshadows the actual value of it.

01:09:48.860 Sure.

01:09:49.040 And I wish the investigation into the deep state itself would continue.

01:09:53.160 What do you mean by deep state?

01:09:54.500 That's the title of the book too.

01:09:56.140 And self-perpetuating government agencies that act not in a good faith effort simply to

01:10:05.180 implement the laws as written, but to perpetuate the deep state, the big government itself.

01:10:10.200 In most instances, as I point out in our last declaration, the deep state is entirely the

01:10:15.280 creation and the fault of Congress.

01:10:17.020 Congress setting up this vast federal bureaucracy that has unfettered, unlimited discretion to do

01:10:23.720 whatever it wants.

01:10:24.620 So instead of having a single king, we have a few thousand or tens of thousands of kings

01:10:29.780 who are unelected, unaccountable, and can do whatever they want.

01:10:33.560 That's what we ought to be looking into.

01:10:35.040 And we ought to be looking into the fact that the Obama administration knew that there was

01:10:38.900 an attempt by the Russian government to meddle and to delegitimize the outcome of the 2016

01:10:45.040 election, whatever that might be.

01:10:47.060 And sadly, some people within the deep state have played right into that, further trying

01:10:52.100 to delegitimize the outcome of the 2016 election.

01:10:55.180 And so you would support and additional investigations going, looking back at that whole process, how

01:11:00.520 this thing started and or absolutely.

01:11:03.060 Yeah.

01:11:03.300 Can we just, is anybody doing anything to make sure that they're not furthering this this

01:11:09.420 time?

01:11:09.720 There are investigations that are still ongoing, and I also believe that our government is

01:11:17.700 looking out for what the Russians might try to do.

01:11:20.760 But again, we have to remember that any efforts that they made have never been proven to have

01:11:26.400 had any impact on the outcome of this election.

01:11:28.700 Correct.

01:11:29.180 I think in some ways, we've got to grapple with the fact that they've done enormous harm

01:11:34.400 by trying to delegitimize the outcome of the election.

01:11:37.780 The perception itself matters.

01:11:39.500 And it's a perception that's been perpetuated by many in government.

01:11:42.800 What's worse, the attack, the initial attack on the elections by the Russians or what they've

01:11:47.960 been able to accomplish in the aftermath of really turning everyone against each other

01:11:51.940 and trying to delegitimize the election?

01:11:53.620 One could argue that the latter has had more of an impact on trying to delegitimize the election.

01:11:59.300 I agree.

01:12:01.040 Mike, when you look at all of the things that we are confronted with now, I feel like

01:12:09.500 it's cakes and circuses.

01:12:11.180 I really feel like this Mueller thing and what's happening on all of it is just a giant circus

01:12:18.140 that is distracting.

01:12:20.300 What is the other hand doing?

01:12:22.760 What is it that we should be talking about?

01:12:25.400 If you were king for the day and you said, I could get people to pay attention to this one thing, what would it be?

01:12:32.680 As I explained in our last declaration, if there were one thing I could do, it would probably be to get back to the foundational structure of our government and a mindset as part of our national political discourse in which we recognize that the people are sovereign,

01:12:49.420 the government's not, and one of which we would stop placing so much almost idolatrous faith in government.

01:12:56.420 If I had one legislative magic wand, it would probably be to pass something like the RAINS Act.

01:13:01.340 R-E-I-N-S stands for Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny.

01:13:05.200 This would do perhaps more to upend the deep state than any other single fix I can think of.

01:13:09.260 Is Donald Trump for it?

01:13:10.660 Yes.

01:13:11.080 Donald Trump is for it.

01:13:11.980 Every Republican in the House is for it.

01:13:15.280 Every Republican in the Senate is for it.

01:13:17.200 And we've got a few Democrats who I believe would vote for it as well.

01:13:20.380 Why hasn't it been passed?

01:13:21.720 That is an excellent question because we had a number of opportunities where we could have and should have voted on it.

01:13:27.520 The Senate has never had a single up or down vote on the RAINS Act.

01:13:31.200 I believe we should vote for it because it would put the American people back in charge.

01:13:34.700 What the RAINS Act says is that any time there's a new executive branch regulation, one that has a significant economic impact and imposes affirmative legal burdens on the American people, that it cannot take effect until both houses of Congress vote to enact it into law.

01:13:50.600 That's how Article 1, Section 7 already contemplates the process working.

01:13:54.440 Is it retroactive at all?

01:13:56.420 The version of it on the table is not retroactive.

01:13:59.700 I have in the past introduced versions of it that would make it retroactive by putting a sunset on pre-existing regulations, requiring all of them to filter through Congress every few years.

01:14:12.740 That seems like a no-brainer.

01:14:15.300 Unless you are for the deep state.

01:14:17.720 Unless you are for the deep state.

01:14:18.980 Unless you like the idea of these government experts, technocrats, bureaucrats.

01:14:25.000 And I want to make clear, I bear them no ill will.

01:14:29.180 This is the fault of Congress.

01:14:30.740 These people are hardworking, well-intentioned for the most part.

01:14:35.120 But Congress has empowered them.

01:14:36.920 Congress has empowered them because Congress doesn't want to deal with the burdensome task of lawmaking and with the accountability that comes along with actually making the law.

01:14:44.580 And so instead, we pass platitudes.

01:14:46.900 We hereby declare that we shall have good law in Area X and we delegate to agency or department or commission Y the power to make and enforce good law in Area X.

01:14:56.540 Members of Congress have been completely off the hook for political accountability purposes.

01:15:01.640 And the deep state grows and it becomes more powerful.

01:15:04.980 And before we know it, we ourselves are not in control of the laws that govern us.

01:15:10.640 How likely is it that you can get the Reigns Act to the floor?

01:15:13.680 Is it just what's stopping it?

01:15:15.600 Leadership?

01:15:16.180 What's the holdup?

01:15:17.360 Those who schedule the votes in the Senate have not chosen up to this point to have a simple up or down vote.

01:15:23.500 I suspect that the reasoning, if we had those people who were making those decisions with us today, they'd probably say, well, we can't count to 60.

01:15:32.680 Sometimes, however, when there's something this fundamental, this essential, not only to the vision of our Constitution, but the vision embodied in our Declaration of Independence.

01:15:42.540 Sometimes we've got to bring something to the floor, even if we're not sure we can get 60 votes to close debate.

01:15:47.840 Sometimes we've got to do everything we can to push them, make them show up, make them debate, make them filibuster that sucker night and day and call the vote.

01:15:56.400 One last thing. We're trying to change the Electoral College. We're not, but the left is. How much of a difference does the Electoral College make?

01:16:06.680 It makes all the difference. The Electoral College is one of the few things that recognizes that we are a republic.

01:16:11.980 We are a republic consisting of a series of states that have joined together for limited purposes in a national.

01:16:20.180 And what does that mean in real terms to the average person?

01:16:24.020 To the average person, that means that if you live in a state other than California, New York, Florida, or Texas, you will become flyer over country.

01:16:33.860 You will become completely neglected in presidential elections if we get rid of the Electoral College.

01:16:38.660 Because what sane presidential candidate would ever campaign in any state other than those four, knowing that those four have the highest populations and everybody else can just go and pound sand?

01:16:50.020 States like mine, like Utah, but also states that are bigger than mine, that are not one of the big four states, will be completely neglected and left out of the picture.

01:16:58.840 Ohio.

01:16:59.920 Ohio even. Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania.

01:17:01.780 Maybe get some cities they stop by, but that's about it, right?

01:17:04.420 Yeah.

01:17:04.560 I mean, they're never going to go outside of Chicago if they go to Illinois, probably.

01:17:07.400 Right. Yeah, that's right.

01:17:08.480 They would go in a few big media markets, and a few of these larger states could themselves decide the entire presidential election.

01:17:15.100 Because this is an interesting one for me, because you have six senators on the Democratic side running for president.

01:17:21.240 Maybe there might be more.

01:17:22.300 We don't know.

01:17:22.800 It could be everyone.

01:17:23.520 I think everyone in the Democratic Party might eventually be running.

01:17:26.060 And they want to overturn the Electoral College because they say it's not representative.

01:17:31.240 Yet they're in a body called the Senate that has two senators, no matter what the population is.

01:17:37.180 Are they looking to overturn that process as well?

01:17:40.460 I mean, you'd have to be to be consistent, wouldn't you?

01:17:42.460 So far, I haven't heard any of my Senate colleagues talk about that.

01:17:45.840 But for the first time in the last couple of years, I have heard some on the left talk about the fact that the Senate is not representative, which is the whole point.

01:17:55.280 By the way, you want to know what the one type of constitutional amendment that we can't pass?

01:17:59.380 The one type of constitutional amendment that is preemptively unconstitutional?

01:18:03.500 You can't alter equal representation in the Senate.

01:18:07.080 We make that something that you can't change about the Constitution.

01:18:10.240 That amendment to the Constitution would be unconstitutional.

01:18:13.660 But you're right.

01:18:15.140 The Senate was set up so that each state would be equally represented by its very nature.

01:18:20.500 Right.

01:18:20.940 That is unrepresentative.

01:18:23.120 And it's crazy.

01:18:24.040 That's why they changed this to a national election for the senators or a state election.

01:18:28.500 It wasn't even the people that were supposed to be represented in the Senate.

01:18:34.060 It was the actual state.

01:18:35.940 So the state had a role.

01:18:39.660 It was the people in one and their state in the other chamber.

01:18:44.480 And the progressives got rid of that.

01:18:47.540 116 years ago, the Senate changed with the ratification of the 13th Amendment.

01:18:53.780 And it did, in fact, change the way it operated because the states were no longer represented

01:18:58.100 as states in the sense that the senators were no longer chosen by the state legislatures.

01:19:04.280 We would be doing—I think we can deal with that.

01:19:07.800 We can still survive as a constitutional republic with that change.

01:19:11.340 But we can't alter or amend or jettison the Electoral College.

01:19:15.800 And we can't do the same to equal representation of the states in the Senate.

01:19:20.360 Mike Lee, the name of the book is Our Lost Declaration, a must-have.

01:19:25.860 Please grab it now.

01:19:27.200 You can find it on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

01:19:30.460 Delta Defense is our sponsor, the USCCA, giving away 19 free guns.

01:19:35.400 God bless America.

01:19:37.060 Giving away 19 free guns.

01:19:39.400 If you haven't sent the text in yet, today and tomorrow, I think, of the last days you can do this,

01:19:44.440 you can get 19 chances to win 19 different guns.

01:19:49.120 It's the United States Conceal Carry Association.

01:19:52.200 They're the top provider of self-defense, education, training, and legal protection in the country.

01:19:58.360 Their membership is really something you should check into.

01:20:01.720 They want to introduce themselves by giving you a chance to win a free gun.

01:20:05.480 All you have to do is just go to—you text BECK, B-E-C-K, to 87222.

01:20:12.580 That's BECK to 87222.

01:20:15.000 You text that word BECK to that number, 87222, and you're going to be registered.

01:20:20.660 19 different chances to win a brand new gun from the USCCA.

01:20:25.660 This is the Glenn Beck Program, and coming up in just a few minutes, my NFL draft picks.

01:20:31.180 Now, I may be picking these draft picks a little differently than they do in wherever it is they pick these NFL draft picks.

01:20:43.640 Now, this is Stu, his revenge on me, because I make him review, without any knowledge of what the storyline or anything about the show,

01:20:55.960 I make him review Game of Thrones, so he thought, well, I'll just have you do the draft pick for the NFL.

01:21:04.240 And I am prepared.

01:21:05.660 I have their names.

01:21:06.780 I have their height.

01:21:07.620 I have their picture.

01:21:08.620 I have their weight.

01:21:10.120 I have—well, not where they're from, but where, you know, the school they go to.

01:21:14.280 So I've got all the information.

01:21:16.200 And my draft pick is coming up next.

01:21:18.500 Okay.

01:21:23.180 Here we go.

01:21:24.040 I'm excited.

01:21:24.560 Are you excited?

01:21:25.700 Realestateagentsitrust.com is sponsoring the 2019 Glenn Beck NFL draft.

01:21:29.260 And this is—everybody's talking about it.

01:21:31.840 Everybody's talking about it.

01:21:32.720 People, place your bets as soon as I'm done.

01:21:34.580 They may want their money back after this.

01:21:35.940 Okay.

01:21:36.160 So anyway, so I want to talk to you a little bit about realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:21:41.980 This is a company that I started a few years ago.

01:21:44.140 Based really out of frustration of not being able to sell my house and always, because I'm in radio,

01:21:48.240 always having to sell a house and always, like, I don't know who the real estate agent is.

01:21:52.260 I don't know.

01:21:52.740 Pick one.

01:21:53.360 Who knows a good real estate agent that can help me sell my house?

01:21:57.240 That's the dumbest way to look for a real estate agent.

01:22:00.100 And that's the way I did it my whole life.

01:22:01.280 Probably you, too.

01:22:02.840 We have a system.

01:22:03.820 We have found the best real estate agents in your area.

01:22:07.360 They don't work all for the same company.

01:22:09.120 They don't work for us.

01:22:09.960 We will go and we look for these people.

01:22:12.680 Who's the best in your area?

01:22:14.640 We'll match you with them.

01:22:16.080 Whether you're buying or selling, these are the people that will help you do it.

01:22:20.460 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:22:22.960 They're all fans of the show.

01:22:24.000 They have the same kind of sensibilities that you do, which is really helpful, especially

01:22:28.100 if you're buying a house and you're not trapped in a car who's like, and another thing about

01:22:31.540 these contaminants.

01:22:33.280 It's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:22:36.240 Go there now.

01:22:36.700 Tonight, the 2019 NFL Draft begins.

01:22:49.440 I know that.

01:22:50.760 No, I was telling the audience, just in case they're not aware.

01:22:52.220 Okay, because I know that.

01:22:53.300 I know you know it.

01:22:54.380 And I know you're going to, you're definitely, what are your plans?

01:22:56.280 You got to watch party?

01:22:57.620 Are you kidding me?

01:22:59.020 I'm doing all the things that people who follow this do.

01:23:03.760 Really?

01:23:04.420 And that includes all of those things that they do.

01:23:08.320 So having a watch party tonight.

01:23:10.940 That's the one I've named.

01:23:12.560 On what channel will you be watching?

01:23:16.060 ESPN.

01:23:17.360 Okay.

01:23:17.780 There you go.

01:23:18.480 See?

01:23:18.700 See, there's some knowledge here.

01:23:19.880 So in a moment, we're going to have Glenn attempt to give his own mock draft, the first

01:23:28.080 10 picks of the NFL Draft.

01:23:29.300 This is not a mock draft.

01:23:30.620 This is real.

01:23:31.360 That's what they call it when you do a draft in advance.

01:23:32.680 I'm not mocking the draft.

01:23:35.240 Thankfully, I will have Pat Gray here along with me to help try to direct this towards

01:23:39.620 some level of sanity.

01:23:41.360 And we start that in 60 seconds.

01:23:44.660 Excuse me, but this is a lot.

01:23:46.400 Okay?

01:23:46.760 You're not going to influence this.

01:23:48.040 This is a lot.

01:23:48.600 You think these are locks?

01:23:50.960 Lock picks.

01:23:51.540 These are lock picks.

01:23:52.880 Okay?

01:23:54.120 You know, last night, I was up all night just watching to see if anybody was trying to hack

01:23:58.540 into my computer to get these.

01:24:00.020 Because I know how much these are worth.

01:24:01.980 You know?

01:24:02.700 If you would have placed your money, you know, last night because you hacked into my computer,

01:24:08.580 okay, you know, you could make some money.

01:24:11.820 I would be on the phone with your bookie or whoever you do business with like this.

01:24:19.400 Right now.

01:24:20.320 Because you're going to want to get these on the board as soon as you can.

01:24:23.640 And if you hacked into my computer, too bad because I have LifeBlock.

01:24:28.000 So LifeBlock made sure that nobody was hacking in last night to get my draft picks.

01:24:32.580 I'm not sure that LifeBlock is really concerned about your particular draft picks.

01:24:36.940 They're concerned about all my information.

01:24:38.840 Well, that's true.

01:24:39.580 They are.

01:24:39.880 They are that.

01:24:40.660 And they actually protect you against identity theft.

01:24:42.540 But I don't think worthless draft picks from Glenn Beck are necessarily in their ad campaign.

01:24:46.600 You don't see the price of this on the dark web.

01:24:48.840 Okay, Mr. Naivety.

01:24:51.000 Here it is.

01:24:51.660 LifeBlock.com.

01:24:52.620 Use the promo code Beck.

01:24:53.780 LifeBlock.com.

01:24:54.680 Sign up.

01:24:55.360 They will make sure that your identity and your draft picks are not taken and sold to really unscrupulous Russians who will break your legs when you bet too much and you can't pay.

01:25:10.240 Happens to all of us, Glenn.

01:25:11.620 Yeah, it sure does.

01:25:12.600 Not me.

01:25:13.480 Because of LifeBlock.com.

01:25:15.080 That's LifeBlock.com.

01:25:16.920 From the less than frozen tundra, in fact mostly warm and soggy tundra of Las Colinas, Texas, Glenn Beck prognosticates the NFL Draft.

01:25:46.920 We've given Glenn a selection of 20 players from the NFL Draft.

01:25:51.760 And he is going to try to place them.

01:25:53.900 I've already narrowed it down.

01:25:55.060 It's going pretty deep.

01:25:55.920 Yeah.

01:25:56.260 Going pretty deep down the first round.

01:25:56.800 I'll tell you who doesn't have a chance today.

01:25:58.800 Don't have a chance to be drafted.

01:26:00.220 Don't have a chance of being drafted.

01:26:01.680 They will spend their lives in obscurity.

01:26:06.120 Now that you do know there's more picks past 10.

01:26:09.100 Doesn't matter.

01:26:09.480 So you're only picking the top 10.

01:26:10.800 They could get picked at number 11, for example.

01:26:12.500 Doesn't matter.

01:26:12.760 They could go play cute little football someplace.

01:26:15.280 These people are over.

01:26:16.100 Nick Bosa.

01:26:18.040 He's over.

01:26:19.040 He's over.

01:26:19.580 Done.

01:26:19.960 Okay.

01:26:20.400 Dwayne Haskins.

01:26:21.680 Done.

01:26:23.720 Christian Wilkinson.

01:26:25.460 He might.

01:26:26.500 I'll explain.

01:26:27.180 He might have a chance.

01:26:29.340 Cleon Farrell.

01:26:30.780 Okay.

01:26:31.420 Done.

01:26:32.820 Quinnen Williams.

01:26:35.740 Done.

01:26:36.360 Off.

01:26:36.780 Not going to get picked.

01:26:37.340 Dead to me.

01:26:38.380 Byron Coward.

01:26:39.600 Uh-oh.

01:26:40.060 Coward.

01:26:40.780 Done.

01:26:41.880 Devin White.

01:26:43.360 No.

01:26:43.840 And are we going to hear the reasoning?

01:26:45.000 There's a chance.

01:26:45.860 There's a chance.

01:26:46.760 I'm only judging by pictures, weight, and height.

01:26:49.960 That's up to you.

01:26:50.720 You could have had knowledge and watched football like every other male in America for the last

01:26:54.620 50 years.

01:26:54.720 And Josh Allen.

01:26:55.220 Done.

01:26:56.060 Yeah.

01:26:56.280 Josh Allen.

01:26:56.760 He's done.

01:26:57.080 For sure.

01:26:57.780 For sure.

01:26:58.280 He's a clown.

01:26:59.160 Okay.

01:26:59.700 So those are the people you've eliminated?

01:27:01.400 I've eliminated.

01:27:01.940 I've eliminated more than that.

01:27:03.380 But I've got my picks.

01:27:07.240 Okay.

01:27:07.560 So should we do this?

01:27:08.580 With the first pick of the 2019 Glenn Beck NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select?

01:27:14.760 You're doing the first?

01:27:15.620 No, I'm not doing it.

01:27:16.040 No, I don't.

01:27:16.680 No, no, no.

01:27:17.220 That's how the...

01:27:17.820 What do you mean?

01:27:19.760 This is how the draft works.

01:27:20.900 We say that little thing over and over again.

01:27:23.080 You'll get all 10 of them filled in, but I fill them in differently.

01:27:27.180 So what are you doing?

01:27:28.060 Like a countdown?

01:27:28.600 No, I'm not doing a countdown.

01:27:30.300 I'm going to start with number eight.

01:27:32.480 Like you're starting with the eighth pick of the draft.

01:27:34.600 Yes.

01:27:35.080 Okay.

01:27:35.520 Detroit Lions.

01:27:36.560 All right.

01:27:37.380 Here we go.

01:27:38.160 All right.

01:27:38.840 The problem with that is, and I know you know this, the eighth pick of the draft could

01:27:44.080 be gone if you start at eight because number one could pick eight.

01:27:47.940 No.

01:27:48.340 No.

01:27:48.980 Number one is not going to pick eight.

01:27:50.760 Number one is going to pick number one.

01:27:53.100 I see.

01:27:53.600 Okay.

01:27:53.860 Okay.

01:27:54.100 Number eight is Ed Oliver.

01:27:56.980 He will be going to the Lions.

01:27:59.480 Ed Oliver.

01:28:00.480 Ed Oliver.

01:28:01.020 He's 6'3", 290 pounds.

01:28:03.860 He's from Houston.

01:28:05.820 Now, I thought...

01:28:07.220 Now, why?

01:28:07.680 Well, I thought for a while.

01:28:09.380 I thought for a while that he could go to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because he's been

01:28:14.980 playing in severe heat in Houston.

01:28:18.280 Okay.

01:28:18.780 Okay.

01:28:19.100 And he's been playing in an open stadium, I think, probably, in Houston.

01:28:25.280 Uh-huh.

01:28:25.600 And so he's...

01:28:27.140 You think probably?

01:28:27.520 You're not sure about that.

01:28:28.380 Not sure.

01:28:29.020 But the team that he plays for in Houston, they know him as a big, tough guy that can

01:28:36.180 run around and sweaty and not pass out in a really hot, sweaty day.

01:28:40.220 So you're saying this is essentially a humidity pick by the Detroit Lions?

01:28:43.380 No.

01:28:43.840 No.

01:28:44.500 I'm not sending him to Tampa Bay.

01:28:45.960 I almost picked him for number five.

01:28:48.140 Okay.

01:28:48.680 Because of the humidity thing.

01:28:50.180 But instead, he's going to number eight, the Detroit Lions.

01:28:51.940 You've got to look at him.

01:28:52.880 Now, look at his picture.

01:28:54.140 Uh-huh.

01:28:54.360 Okay?

01:28:54.580 I see that.

01:28:55.180 He looks like somebody just hit him in the face with a shovel.

01:28:58.280 Like, what the...

01:28:59.480 Right?

01:29:00.500 Now, Glenn...

01:29:00.900 He looks...

01:29:01.300 He does.

01:29:01.740 He looks like, what the...

01:29:03.500 Okay?

01:29:03.780 He's got a surprised look on his face.

01:29:05.040 Right.

01:29:05.440 Stepped on a rake.

01:29:06.500 Boom!

01:29:06.960 What the...

01:29:07.660 That's the way he looks in this.

01:29:08.900 Okay.

01:29:09.100 Now, I would...

01:29:09.700 I should note to you here, Glenn, that the thing you're looking at is a photograph, which

01:29:14.400 is a moment in time of one particular fraction of a second.

01:29:19.620 That's all I got to go on.

01:29:20.540 He doesn't always look like he has a surprised look on his face.

01:29:22.660 That's all I got to go on.

01:29:23.680 Okay.

01:29:24.080 Okay?

01:29:24.420 All right.

01:29:24.860 So, if you want to take away his surprised reaction, then he goes to Tampa.

01:29:29.060 I know.

01:29:29.900 But he's surprised because he's going cold weather.

01:29:32.220 No.

01:29:32.740 He's going to Detroit.

01:29:34.320 No.

01:29:34.960 No.

01:29:35.100 Everyone who lives in Detroit opens their door every day and goes, what the...

01:29:39.700 When they realize they're in Detroit.

01:29:42.100 Okay.

01:29:42.280 So, number eight to Detroit, Ed Oliver.

01:29:45.020 All right.

01:29:45.360 Hard to argue with that logic.

01:29:46.700 Wow.

01:29:47.220 It is.

01:29:47.480 This is...

01:29:48.360 Detroit is...

01:29:49.140 Okay.

01:29:49.560 All right.

01:29:49.920 Detroit gets Ed Oliver.

01:29:51.040 Now, we go to the next pick, which is not nine, as you might expect, but another pick

01:29:56.020 on the board.

01:29:56.500 Well, no.

01:29:56.780 This one's...

01:29:57.700 TJ Hawkinson.

01:29:59.340 You know who he is?

01:30:00.160 We do.

01:30:00.580 Yes.

01:30:00.960 Okay.

01:30:01.340 Six-five.

01:30:02.820 245 pounds.

01:30:04.180 Mm-hmm.

01:30:05.560 He's going to the Seattle Supersonics, which is on another board.

01:30:09.120 Yeah.

01:30:09.700 But he's going to the Seattle Supersonics, which is on another board, because it's on

01:30:12.580 a basketball board, and I don't think they don't exist anymore.

01:30:16.080 They're now the Oklahoma City Thunder, right?

01:30:18.540 Yes.

01:30:18.920 Seattle doesn't have a basketball team anymore?

01:30:20.620 No, they do not.

01:30:21.120 No, they do not.

01:30:21.640 He's a damn Marxist.

01:30:22.880 I know.

01:30:23.120 They do have a football team, but they're not drafting in the top ten.

01:30:25.140 So, the Supersonics are over.

01:30:26.600 Yes.

01:30:26.820 They've been over for a long time.

01:30:28.420 Yes.

01:30:28.560 Ha.

01:30:28.980 So, they're going to be...

01:30:29.660 Who knew?

01:30:30.000 That pick is going to be surprised when he goes there and nobody's playing football or basketball.

01:30:34.620 Well, he'll win.

01:30:35.420 You know, so...

01:30:35.960 Yeah.

01:30:36.240 Because nobody will be playing against him.

01:30:37.640 All right.

01:30:39.560 6'5", 254 pounds from Wyoming.

01:30:43.940 What?

01:30:44.460 I was going to ask what team we're drafting.

01:30:46.660 What position in the top ten are we drafting?

01:30:49.520 I'm telling you in a minute.

01:30:50.800 Oh, okay.

01:30:51.200 Okay.

01:30:51.700 First, let me introduce Carl Ganderson.

01:30:54.580 You know Carl?

01:30:56.320 Carl Ganderson?

01:30:58.480 6'5", from Wyoming, 254 pounds.

01:31:01.200 I'm not familiar with Carl, frankly.

01:31:02.860 Are you?

01:31:03.780 Yes.

01:31:04.240 Yes, I am familiar with Carl.

01:31:06.100 It's an interesting pick for which team?

01:31:08.460 I'm going to pick him for Denver, number 10.

01:31:12.360 Okay.

01:31:12.720 Okay?

01:31:13.020 He's going to Denver.

01:31:14.120 And the reason why, if you look at this picture, he looks like kind of one of those

01:31:18.480 go west young men statues.

01:31:21.400 You know?

01:31:22.280 Is that because he's holding his football out in front of him?

01:31:24.740 Might be, but look at his eyes.

01:31:26.500 He's like, I'm determined.

01:31:27.680 I'm going to go someplace where it's west.

01:31:31.320 So he is going to the Denver Broncos.

01:31:34.020 Okay.

01:31:34.340 So, so far, we have the eighth pick in the draft is Ed Oliver, and the tenth pick is Carl

01:31:38.220 Ganderson.

01:31:38.760 I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Denver was actually east of Laramie.

01:31:43.180 That's a whole other.

01:31:44.100 That's a whole different story.

01:31:48.020 Well, I'm just saying.

01:31:49.160 Yeah, I know.

01:31:49.880 I know.

01:31:50.180 So, here we go.

01:31:51.240 Here we go.

01:31:51.800 From Alabama, 6'5", 301 pounds.

01:31:54.740 Jonah Williams.

01:31:55.860 You know Jonah?

01:31:56.900 Yes.

01:31:57.380 Yes.

01:31:57.600 Yes.

01:31:58.720 Jonah.

01:32:00.340 That guy looks like.

01:32:05.100 I think he's going to the Oakland Raiders.

01:32:09.740 The Oakland Raiders at number four.

01:32:11.320 Yeah, because he looks kind of pissed off.

01:32:13.860 He looks like a guy who could live in Oakland and be like, what?

01:32:18.260 I'm going to tear these people in from limb.

01:32:21.080 And you have to.

01:32:22.800 If you're going to live in Oakland, that's the way you have to.

01:32:24.740 He looks like he's from Game of Thrones, kind of.

01:32:27.380 Yeah, he does.

01:32:28.400 By the way, he's from California.

01:32:29.540 He could play for the Kings.

01:32:30.920 There you go.

01:32:32.080 Oakland Raiders select at number four.

01:32:33.780 Jonah Williams.

01:32:35.040 For some reason, the Arizona Cardinals at one still have not decided to make their pick,

01:32:38.440 which is a controversial move here in this draft.

01:32:40.240 Okay, I do have, hang on, I've lost the, I've lost Mr. Hunk a lot.

01:32:45.920 Hang on.

01:32:46.680 He is, where is he?

01:32:51.120 I've got one for San Francisco.

01:32:53.200 He's really a good looking guy.

01:32:55.880 And here he is.

01:32:56.840 It's Drew Locke from Missouri.

01:32:59.360 Okay?

01:33:00.020 Yeah.

01:33:00.240 Quarterback.

01:33:00.860 He's kind of, in this picture, he kind of looks like Tom Cruise.

01:33:04.680 He does.

01:33:05.160 San Francisco, they're going to like, they'll love him there.

01:33:08.020 They'll love him in San Francisco.

01:33:09.540 San Francisco, number two pick, Drew Locke going to San Francisco.

01:33:12.720 Drew Locke at number two.

01:33:14.320 Yes.

01:33:14.940 For San Francisco.

01:33:15.940 So we now have two, four, eight, and ten have been selected here in the Glenn Beck 2019 NFL draft.

01:33:22.700 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, number five.

01:33:24.780 Okay.

01:33:25.220 The mothership of this program.

01:33:26.820 Yes.

01:33:27.320 It's a big pick.

01:33:27.680 Yes.

01:33:28.160 People on the edge of their seats right now.

01:33:29.780 At 6'2", 305 pounds, from Kentucky.

01:33:34.140 It's a big fella.

01:33:35.160 Bunchy Stallings.

01:33:36.740 All right.

01:33:37.380 Bunchy.

01:33:37.980 Bunchy has a good name.

01:33:39.760 It's a good name.

01:33:40.700 He's a good name.

01:33:41.520 He's from Kentucky.

01:33:42.780 He looks friendly.

01:33:44.400 He looks like a guy who'd be like, come on, Tampa's fun.

01:33:47.240 Yeah, he does.

01:33:48.040 He looks like he's having a good time in that picture.

01:33:49.740 I agree.

01:33:50.380 For good times, he's going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

01:33:55.340 Bunchy Stallings at number five.

01:33:56.880 Okay.

01:33:57.060 We still have the one, three, six, seven, and nine picks to go.

01:34:01.180 Glenn, the next selection.

01:34:03.080 That's getting tough now.

01:34:04.220 It's getting tough.

01:34:05.260 Because I'm kind of down to just a bunch of people that are like, meh.

01:34:12.000 Based on their photos, they're just, meh.

01:34:14.480 You were very excited about Bunchy.

01:34:16.780 Christian Wilkins.

01:34:18.180 Christian Wilkins.

01:34:19.060 Clemson.

01:34:19.520 You know him?

01:34:20.000 Yes.

01:34:20.280 Okay.

01:34:21.000 Yeah.

01:34:22.340 He looks like a homeless guy.

01:34:24.520 What?

01:34:25.400 What?

01:34:25.760 Well, in that picture.

01:34:27.260 Yeah, he looks like a homeless guy in this picture.

01:34:29.300 He's got a beard, and it's kind of unkempt.

01:34:31.660 And he looks like a guy who's like, hey, dude.

01:34:35.540 Hey, dude.

01:34:37.120 You got some money?

01:34:38.800 Let me wash your windshield.

01:34:40.140 I don't think that's accurate.

01:34:41.400 New York Jets.

01:34:41.820 Jets just seems to have his mouth open, and you're judging it completely.

01:34:44.840 He's going to New York.

01:34:47.380 To wash windshields?

01:34:48.700 Yes.

01:34:49.320 No, he's going to play for the Giants and Jets.

01:34:54.980 There's two teams, so he's selected now.

01:34:56.600 This guy goes to New York, but he doesn't know which New York team it is.

01:35:00.260 This is a good general manager you have right here.

01:35:02.320 All right.

01:35:02.340 I'm going to pick Jawan Taylor.

01:35:05.220 Jawan Taylor?

01:35:06.000 Okay.

01:35:06.200 From Florida.

01:35:06.880 Wait a minute.

01:35:07.280 Don't you want to decide where Christian Wilkins is going?

01:35:10.060 They both go to three and six.

01:35:12.340 They can work it out between themselves, which one they go to.

01:35:15.200 They don't get to work it out.

01:35:16.660 You have to pick them.

01:35:17.800 Yeah.

01:35:18.180 This is how this works.

01:35:18.780 I'm going to let them decide.

01:35:20.000 You can't do that.

01:35:22.140 You have to select which one is which.

01:35:23.880 Three and six.

01:35:25.480 Jawan Taylor and Christian Wilkins.

01:35:26.660 I don't know.

01:35:27.200 The Jets just seem more like New York.

01:35:29.680 The Giants seem more like a knockoff kind of girly team.

01:35:34.600 So I'm going to put Jawan for the Jets,

01:35:37.760 and Christian Wilkins, because he looks happy but homeless,

01:35:42.400 will give him to the Giants.

01:35:43.700 But I say those two are interchangeable.

01:35:45.700 They could pick.

01:35:46.380 It could go to six or three.

01:35:47.820 Doesn't matter.

01:35:48.820 Yeah, again.

01:35:49.440 Maybe there will be a trade.

01:35:50.260 Maybe this is the way of Glenn signaling there will be a trade made there

01:35:53.520 between the Giants and Jets,

01:35:54.700 which has a good 0% chance of happening.

01:35:57.360 Okay.

01:35:57.660 So we still have the seven and nine picks to go,

01:36:00.520 and then the number one overall in the 2019 Glenn Beck.

01:36:03.680 Have I selected the number one, the one that everybody is like?

01:36:06.900 Not yet.

01:36:07.300 Not yet.

01:36:07.840 No, you have not.

01:36:08.860 No.

01:36:09.620 You did discount one of the top three, though.

01:36:12.280 In fact, a couple of the top three.

01:36:13.760 Yeah, I will say the most excited team here.

01:36:16.020 They're in the pile of discounted.

01:36:17.680 Most excited team here.

01:36:18.500 Is it Clellon?

01:36:19.420 Farrell?

01:36:20.340 Quinnen?

01:36:20.960 No.

01:36:21.420 Quinnen Williams.

01:36:22.180 Quinnen Williams.

01:36:22.900 But you can't put them back in now.

01:36:24.160 Nick Bosa.

01:36:24.880 I want to take a look at them.

01:36:26.280 I want to take a look at them.

01:36:27.320 You can't choose them now.

01:36:28.200 You've already discounted them.

01:36:29.920 We need to take a break.

01:36:31.000 We need to do our, we got three more picks to go.

01:36:32.240 All right, well, I have the number nine pick and the number one pick to go.

01:36:35.720 Yes.

01:36:36.240 Who's it going to be?

01:36:38.600 Only I know.

01:36:39.980 We'll do that in a second.

01:36:41.780 Do you, though?

01:36:43.360 No, I think it's pretty clear he does.

01:36:45.000 Okay.

01:36:46.500 Goldline is the sponsor this half hour.

01:36:50.020 And this is something that's kind of important, especially if you happen to be, I don't know,

01:36:53.980 a player who's about to go in the NFL and get a large portion of money, despite the fact

01:36:59.300 you weren't necessarily projected to go in the draft where you did go, you might have

01:37:04.660 some extra money to invest and maybe you go to Goldline for that.

01:37:08.220 Because Goldline is a great way to protect yourself against the insanity of, let's say,

01:37:14.240 You're the worst person ever to talk to people about gold.

01:37:16.880 This is the worst commercial I've ever heard.

01:37:18.800 Well, it's your commercial and you're not doing it, so I'm trying to get you to do it.

01:37:22.060 Well, I am busy trying to work on the NFL draft pick.

01:37:24.460 That's what I'm doing.

01:37:25.260 Can you not sell gold for a second?

01:37:25.660 I'm trying to delay while you start playing with your stupid magnets and start talking

01:37:29.440 about Goldline.

01:37:29.700 You're the one who told me to do the stupid magnets.

01:37:31.880 You're in the middle of a Goldline commercial.

01:37:33.520 Do it.

01:37:33.800 Oh my gosh, I hate him so much.

01:37:34.720 Okay, look.

01:37:35.300 If you would like to be able to have something so you're not around a mob of people like

01:37:40.880 him when everything breaks down, I want you to go to Goldline right now.

01:37:45.000 Goldline, it's a great investment.

01:37:46.740 I've made this investment.

01:37:48.060 I've made a big investment in gold because I believe gold is insurance against insanity.

01:37:54.600 And that's the way the world is going.

01:37:57.240 Thus, the reaction to my very logical draft picks.

01:38:01.640 It is Goldline at Goldline.com.

01:38:04.940 Call 866-GOLDLINE.

01:38:06.260 They're waiting for you right now at 866-GOLDLINE.

01:38:09.200 866-GOLDLINE or Goldline.com.

01:38:11.880 10 seconds, station ID.

01:38:22.420 Okay, I'm going to dismiss Kyler Murray because he's 5'10 from Oklahoma.

01:38:29.600 And you're dismissing him.

01:38:30.900 He's nobody 5'10 and 195 pounds in the NFL.

01:38:34.440 There have been people who have made this point, actually.

01:38:37.480 Actually, there are a few.

01:38:39.060 There are a few.

01:38:39.580 There's a few.

01:38:40.200 And there have been a few.

01:38:42.140 But, I mean, Kyler Murray.

01:38:43.600 But you've discounted him, so who's next?

01:38:45.520 Can we get the next three picks, please?

01:38:46.960 Well, I still had him in my go pile, but I was thinking about discounting him.

01:38:51.240 Daniel Jones.

01:38:53.340 He's from Duke.

01:38:54.740 You know who Daniel Jones is?

01:38:55.940 Yes, we do.

01:38:56.780 Okay.

01:38:57.100 I'm going to put him up in the Buffalo Bills because he just looks like an eater.

01:39:03.540 He's got his tongue out, and he's like, that looks delicious.

01:39:06.980 Again, Glenn.

01:39:08.120 Because in this photo, he has his tongue out.

01:39:09.700 It does not mean he walks around all the time with his tongue out.

01:39:12.260 He likes Buffalo, Buffalo Wings.

01:39:14.180 Okay.

01:39:15.000 They make great Buffalo Wings.

01:39:16.580 This is the home of Buffalo Wings.

01:39:18.060 I'm going to put Daniel Jones up there.

01:39:21.480 Intriguing pick from Buffalo.

01:39:22.920 We still have number seven.

01:39:23.780 Do you want to do his number seven first and end on number one?

01:39:25.560 Oh, it's number seven.

01:39:25.820 Oh, the Jaguars?

01:39:26.820 Yeah.

01:39:27.760 It's not even a team.

01:39:30.460 It actually is.

01:39:31.580 Yeah.

01:39:31.740 It's a team in Jacksonville.

01:39:33.060 Uh-huh.

01:39:34.000 Ah.

01:39:34.500 I'm going to give it to Kyler Murray because he's a fast runner.

01:39:37.520 He's got to be a runner.

01:39:38.360 It's that small.

01:39:39.060 Now, why would...

01:39:39.680 Kyler Murray goes number seven.

01:39:40.980 Why would Jacksonville need a runner, per se, would you think?

01:39:43.380 Because Jaguars are like cheetahs.

01:39:45.120 They're fast.

01:39:45.840 Okay.

01:39:46.340 Okay.

01:39:47.260 That's more logic than I thought.

01:39:48.880 You're still attached to that.

01:39:50.340 Okay.

01:39:50.800 All right.

01:39:51.900 All right.

01:39:52.440 One more pick.

01:39:53.200 The number one pick.

01:39:55.940 I still have Josh Allen.

01:39:58.120 Byron Coward.

01:39:58.900 I think those two are still out.

01:40:00.700 Out.

01:40:02.940 Quinnen Williams.

01:40:04.080 He looks like a football player.

01:40:05.960 Devin White.

01:40:07.320 You've already eliminated Quinnen Williams.

01:40:08.640 I know.

01:40:08.860 Quinnen Williams.

01:40:09.560 And then we gave you too much information on that.

01:40:11.400 You did.

01:40:11.740 So I hate to get rid of him.

01:40:13.720 You already had him.

01:40:14.780 You got rid of him.

01:40:15.400 That's why we brought it up.

01:40:19.520 Okay.

01:40:20.100 The number one pick.

01:40:20.800 Okay.

01:40:20.920 Okay.

01:40:21.320 Number one pick.

01:40:22.040 All right.

01:40:25.420 I'm just number one pick.

01:40:28.780 Didn't I get rid of Nick Bossa, right?

01:40:30.740 Yes.

01:40:31.080 You both did.

01:40:31.920 Yes, you did.

01:40:32.600 I got rid of him.

01:40:33.580 He's dead to me.

01:40:35.140 Now, Andre Dillard and Devin White.

01:40:39.500 Uh-huh.

01:40:40.380 Now, I'm putting Cleon Farrell back in because I have some information that he is good at something.

01:40:47.140 I bet he is.

01:40:47.960 But if you look at them, they all look happy.

01:40:51.300 They do.

01:40:52.340 Cleon does not look.

01:40:53.900 He looks like he's faking it.

01:40:56.260 Okay.

01:40:57.200 But if you look at Andre Dillard and Devin White, they look sincerely happy.

01:41:03.880 That's nice that you're judging them that way.

01:41:05.400 I like that.

01:41:06.020 But no one wants to play football in a thousand degrees.

01:41:09.340 Okay.

01:41:11.400 All right.

01:41:12.280 That's true.

01:41:12.840 It's very hot in Tampa.

01:41:14.220 And the new stadium's not quite ready.

01:41:16.420 So I'm getting rid of Andrew Dillard.

01:41:17.920 We're doing Arizona though now, aren't we?

01:41:19.040 Oh, Arizona.

01:41:19.640 That's right.

01:41:19.820 Well, they do have an indoor stadium.

01:41:21.840 They do have an indoor stadium.

01:41:22.820 They have an indoor stadium?

01:41:23.700 Yes.

01:41:24.800 I'm going Devin White.

01:41:26.300 Devin White.

01:41:26.600 Because he looks the happiest.

01:41:27.740 All right.

01:41:28.160 Devin White.

01:41:28.420 And he's like, hey, I just picked number one.

01:41:31.320 There you go.

01:41:31.800 There you go.

01:41:32.500 There it is.

01:41:33.140 So let's give you the rundown here.

01:41:34.600 Arizona Cardinals select Devin White.

01:41:37.120 San Francisco 49ers go QB with Drew Locke at two.

01:41:40.600 New York Jets, Jawan Taylor at three.

01:41:42.860 Oakland Raiders.

01:41:43.300 Wait, wait, wait.

01:41:43.820 You didn't tell me that San Francisco needed a quarterback.

01:41:47.020 They don't.

01:41:47.360 They don't.

01:41:47.980 But they selected a second one for some reason.

01:41:49.900 Oh, he's a quarterback.

01:41:51.340 He's a quarterback.

01:41:51.900 He is a quarterback.

01:41:52.260 Oh, he was white.

01:41:53.160 I wanted to see if there was a chance that he was.

01:41:56.120 Do they draft for owners?

01:41:57.860 Oh, that's right.

01:41:58.620 Because Cory Booker.

01:42:00.620 I mean, I think the only white people are owners.

01:42:03.340 They don't draft owners.

01:42:04.140 They don't draft owners.

01:42:04.880 Because we're told all the time that this is essentially slavery.

01:42:07.220 Right.

01:42:07.640 These players.

01:42:08.280 Drew Locke cannot be an owner.

01:42:09.460 No.

01:42:09.680 Of the San Francisco 49ers.

01:42:10.680 He can't be.

01:42:11.460 No, he cannot.

01:42:11.980 They'll never draft him for that.

01:42:13.520 Oakland Raiders at four go Jonah Williams.

01:42:15.500 At five, the Tampa Bay Bucs with an interesting selection of Bunchy Stallings.

01:42:19.920 At five.

01:42:21.000 At six, the Giants select Christian Wilkins.

01:42:25.080 Or Jawan Taylor.

01:42:26.500 No, you don't get your oars.

01:42:28.720 We'll give you credit if they switch.

01:42:30.260 If they trade those two picks, we'll give you credit.

01:42:32.560 Jacksonville Jaguars select Kyler Murray.

01:42:35.180 They're at number seven, which is kind of a surprise.

01:42:37.080 Yeah, that would be a surprise.

01:42:38.520 Detroit Lions, Ed Oliver.

01:42:40.060 Yeah, I almost cut him out.

01:42:41.540 I thought Kyler, I don't think he's really a football player.

01:42:45.960 Do you think we're fooling you?

01:42:47.640 Number nine, Daniel Jones goes to the Buffalo Bills.

01:42:50.260 They've got a good quarterback situation there now, too.

01:42:52.440 And Denver Broncos select Carl Ganderson at number 10.

01:42:56.940 So, here's what it kept.

01:42:58.080 Can we now, these are locked in place now?

01:42:59.860 Yeah, these are locked in.

01:43:01.200 So, interesting selections here.

01:43:04.180 San Francisco, as we mentioned, has a very highly paid quarterback.

01:43:08.000 And for them to select someone at number two that is a quarterback would be very surprising.

01:43:12.680 Let me tell you, if that happens, whoever the quarterback is for the 49ers, better watch your back.

01:43:18.700 Because they're offing you because you are too expensive.

01:43:21.660 Okay.

01:43:22.240 Now, it is believed that Kyler Murray, the quarterback.

01:43:25.060 The one that you discounted because he's 5'10 and 190.

01:43:28.520 Will be the number one pick in the draft.

01:43:30.360 Why would you do that?

01:43:31.500 Is he a quarterback?

01:43:32.840 Is he a fast runner?

01:43:33.420 He is also fast.

01:43:34.440 He's also fast.

01:43:34.940 He can throw.

01:43:35.840 Now, Jacksonville just signed a giant quarterback contract with Nick Foles at seven.

01:43:41.600 So, it would be surprising to see them draft another quarterback there.

01:43:44.940 Kind of.

01:43:45.660 Yeah.

01:43:46.000 But this is information that would have been helpful.

01:43:48.840 This all would have been information that would have been helpful.

01:43:51.820 You know, if you would have told me their positions and what the teams needed, maybe I could have helped you out a little bit more.

01:43:58.120 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:44:03.460 We thought you just knew from looking at it.

01:44:06.680 It's not terrible, by the way.

01:44:09.020 It's pretty terrible.

01:44:10.660 It's pretty terrible.

01:44:11.900 All right.

01:44:12.320 We have our sponsor here this half hour.

01:44:14.540 Oh, sorry.

01:44:15.220 We're just.

01:44:15.880 1-800-Flowers.

01:44:16.280 I'm just being told how terrible my picks are.

01:44:18.460 Well, yeah.

01:44:18.840 Pretty terrible.

01:44:19.720 1-800-Flowers is the sponsor.

01:44:21.240 Yeah.

01:44:21.520 Now, if you would like to send flowers to your mom, because your mom loves you and your mom wouldn't set you up like this.

01:44:27.420 Your mom would never say, hey, honey, I want you to go on national radio and I'm going to withhold information from you.

01:44:33.300 So you look like an idiot.

01:44:34.880 My mom wouldn't have done that.

01:44:36.120 I'm sorry.

01:44:36.700 On Monday, by the way, when do you want to schedule my Game of Thrones review?

01:44:39.580 That's Monday.

01:44:40.280 The usual time.

01:44:40.720 Even though I haven't seen it.

01:44:41.760 1-800-Flowers.com.

01:44:43.760 But you have more to go on.

01:44:45.300 No, I don't.

01:44:45.920 I had no information on these characters.

01:44:47.180 1-800-Flowers.com.

01:44:48.900 If you'd like to order flowers for Mother's Day, now's the time to do it.

01:44:53.200 36 beautiful pastel roses for $36.

01:44:56.800 It's a dollar per stem.

01:44:58.120 It's well worth it.

01:44:59.460 But this ends tomorrow, so do it today.

01:45:03.380 1-800-Flowers.com.

01:45:05.340 Get ahead on your Mother's Day.

01:45:06.900 1-800-Flowers.com.

01:45:08.340 And use the promo code BECK.

01:45:14.980 The one very happy city after the NFL draft from Glenn Beck has to be Cincinnati, who picks number 11,

01:45:21.860 and will have a wide selection of really good draft picks to choose from.

01:45:25.160 Okay, I've got some other picks that are, you know, would be surprising for the NFL, but I think could happen.

01:45:40.480 Could happen.

01:45:41.140 Could happen.

01:45:41.600 So there might be some surprises tonight.

01:45:44.100 Yes.

01:45:44.560 In the first round.

01:45:45.260 All right.

01:45:45.740 So I'm going to send to the Jackson Jaguars.

01:45:50.720 The Jacksonville.

01:45:51.640 You don't even know the cities of the NFL?

01:45:53.700 Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:45:54.760 It's a geography thing.

01:45:55.920 It's not an NFL knowledge thing.

01:45:57.600 Yeah, well, you'll understand why I don't care.

01:46:01.200 Number seven, Bob Frank O'Rourke.

01:46:05.360 Okay.

01:46:05.940 They're going to select him?

01:46:08.100 Yeah, because he's as much of a joke and a fake as they are a team.

01:46:16.800 They were the AFC Championship game just a year before.

01:46:20.260 Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:46:21.040 Who's ever heard of them?

01:46:22.600 Everyone.

01:46:23.040 Everyone who enjoys football.

01:46:24.880 Cory Booker.

01:46:27.320 Cory Booker.

01:46:28.220 Cory Booker.

01:46:29.120 Spartacus himself.

01:46:30.060 Yeah.

01:46:30.220 Going where?

01:46:31.480 I'm going to send him to the Jets because it's the New York Jets, and yet they live in New Jersey.

01:46:39.840 And that's kind of Cory Booker as well.

01:46:42.820 He's kind of like, I'm Spartacus, but no, he's not.

01:46:46.380 You're not even in the right country.

01:46:47.880 Okay.

01:46:48.560 There's some sense to that one.

01:46:49.800 Right.

01:46:50.600 Now, the number one draft pick, I've narrowed it down, and I'm going to send both.

01:46:59.440 Okay.

01:47:00.080 To one team?

01:47:00.960 Yeah, to the Arizona Cardinals.

01:47:03.000 Okay.

01:47:03.760 Okay.

01:47:04.280 You can't do that.

01:47:05.000 That's against the rules, but you're going to do it anyway.

01:47:08.760 Okay.

01:47:09.100 So that's against the rules?

01:47:10.180 Yeah.

01:47:10.300 Okay.

01:47:10.520 So I'm going to send to Tampa Bay.

01:47:13.180 I'm going to send Elizabeth Warren.

01:47:15.280 All right.

01:47:15.800 Based on?

01:47:16.960 Because, you know, that's where people go sometimes to retire.

01:47:20.180 All right.

01:47:20.580 And Bernie Sanders, because all old people eventually end up in Arizona or Florida.

01:47:26.680 So Bernie Sanders, number one pick for the Arizona Cardinals.

01:47:31.760 78-year-old Bernie Sanders going to the Arizona Cardinals tonight.

01:47:35.820 There you go.

01:47:36.040 That'll be interesting.

01:47:36.780 6'6", 102 pounds.

01:47:40.620 I don't think he's 6'6".

01:47:43.020 Don't know, but he looks like a stork.

01:47:45.920 I'm looking over your NFL draft year, Glenn, and I think there are three of the picks that

01:47:54.120 could happen.

01:47:55.320 Do you really?

01:47:55.900 And three of the picks that none of them are plausible.

01:47:59.020 None of them are realistic possibilities, but they're above 1%.

01:48:02.500 I believe there are three picks.

01:48:04.340 I didn't even get anybody on the board.

01:48:06.200 I don't think so.

01:48:07.260 I don't think you got anything.

01:48:08.680 But I would say there's three picks.

01:48:10.300 Stu's got some hope here.

01:48:11.040 Well, wait a minute.

01:48:12.180 Let's say I pick Drew Locke at number two.

01:48:15.080 If he's number three, four, or one, is that even close?

01:48:18.760 I mean, that's close, right?

01:48:20.000 Yeah.

01:48:20.540 Kind of.

01:48:21.520 Yeah, kind of.

01:48:22.280 I think so.

01:48:23.000 I mean, I think, though, I'm trying to pick the exact team with the exact player, which

01:48:26.600 is how you do these things.

01:48:28.620 However, Drew Locke will not go in the top five.

01:48:30.740 No.

01:48:31.160 Especially he will not go to a team.

01:48:32.260 Or any of the top five in my top five.

01:48:35.040 I mean, take Bunchy Stallings out, because we all know.

01:48:37.580 Right.

01:48:37.840 But any in the top five that I have in the top five.

01:48:42.600 I don't think so.

01:48:43.380 I would say there's one that's plausible, which would be Jonah Williams going to the

01:48:47.120 Raiders at number four.

01:48:48.520 Because he's got to be, may I say, he's defensive, right?

01:48:51.140 He's not.

01:48:51.680 He's an offensive tackle.

01:48:52.380 Well, he's in the wrong, they've misplaced him, miscast him.

01:48:55.540 Because look how mean he looks.

01:48:57.160 He looks like, I'm going to rip your face off.

01:48:59.040 Yeah.

01:48:59.500 Offensive tackles can be very mean.

01:49:01.320 Very mean.

01:49:01.900 Really?

01:49:02.300 Yes.

01:49:03.120 So offensive tackles.

01:49:04.720 So that's, you're tackling, you're in front of the quarter, you're protecting the

01:49:09.640 quarterback.

01:49:09.900 There you go.

01:49:10.400 Oh, yeah, he'd be good at that.

01:49:12.920 It's weird how he came to that conclusion after he picked all the draft picks.

01:49:16.740 Well, you told me I couldn't look anybody up online.

01:49:19.880 I don't watch football.

01:49:21.780 What am I, what am I, you know, I just have to look at what they look like.

01:49:25.000 You did a great job.

01:49:26.080 Okay.

01:49:26.460 I want you to think, I want you to know that.

01:49:27.740 You did a great job.

01:49:28.640 I do.

01:49:28.980 Do you mean that?

01:49:29.460 I do.

01:49:29.580 You did a wonderful job.

01:49:31.300 Thank you.

01:49:31.880 You're welcome.

01:49:32.460 I worked hard on it.

01:49:33.300 You're welcome.

01:49:34.060 You did work hard.

01:49:34.520 I can tell you spent a lot of time, for sure.

01:49:37.520 You can tell.

01:49:37.980 So I think that one's plausible.

01:49:39.840 I mean, Ed Oliver at eight would be a great pickup for the Detroit Lions, but possible.

01:49:44.300 Yeah.

01:49:44.560 I mean, theoretically possible.

01:49:46.000 Because sometimes they slip.

01:49:47.460 Yeah.

01:49:47.600 Sometimes they fall down to a spot where you wouldn't expect them to.

01:49:51.480 He belongs in Detroit.

01:49:52.980 He's projected to be a number four pick to the Raiders.

01:49:56.340 But you could.

01:49:56.700 Oakland Raiders.

01:49:57.420 Well, you know, that surprise look on his face that I saw.

01:50:01.160 Maybe it's a surprise because he went eight.

01:50:03.200 Maybe.

01:50:03.620 Or a surprise that he was like, you know, maybe I misread it.

01:50:07.000 And he was like, what?

01:50:08.340 I'm going to Oakland?

01:50:10.360 That's crazy.

01:50:13.000 Could be.

01:50:13.420 It could be.

01:50:14.100 It could be.

01:50:14.840 It's possible.

01:50:15.420 Well, I'm excited to see this.

01:50:16.360 I will be watching very closely.

01:50:17.560 We will tweet out the picture of the Glenn Beck big board.

01:50:20.760 And a very interesting selection of bunchy stallings, by the way, by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

01:50:25.700 Now, we looked into Bunchy.

01:50:27.200 Do you even know who he is?

01:50:28.520 Bunchy stalling.

01:50:29.420 Well, you have his.

01:50:30.100 It says right up there.

01:50:30.880 He's 6'2", 305 from Kentucky.

01:50:33.700 He's also projected to be picked 216th in this particular.

01:50:39.840 Tampa.

01:50:40.660 Tampa, you get him cheap.

01:50:42.340 No, it's not.

01:50:43.360 You get him cheap.

01:50:44.020 No, it's the opposite.

01:50:45.540 It doesn't happen a lot where a six round projection goes in the first round.

01:50:50.300 It doesn't happen a lot.

01:50:51.840 So, wait, you can't pick.

01:50:52.900 Maybe with Bunchy stallings.

01:50:54.060 Why wouldn't you pick some of the ones that are cheaper down at the bottom?

01:50:56.620 No, you don't understand.

01:50:57.720 Like, when you pick someone 5th, you pay them a lot.

01:51:00.300 If you pick them 216th, you pay them a little.

01:51:02.500 So, you'd want to pick someone later, if possible.

01:51:05.440 And I think Bunchy might last a couple of rounds.

01:51:07.000 Well, why would you have to pay him?

01:51:08.260 If he's expected to be at 216, he's expecting very little money, right?

01:51:14.200 Yes.

01:51:14.620 So, you go, hey, Bunchy, come to Tampa Bay.

01:51:17.540 I'm still going to pay you crap, but you're at Tampa Bay.

01:51:19.880 There's sort of a socialist price structure involved here in the way these picks go.

01:51:23.900 They're kind of slotted into certain amounts.

01:51:25.900 Oh, really?

01:51:26.540 Yeah.

01:51:26.780 So, anyone who gets picked picks is going to get...

01:51:28.320 Oh, that's information you didn't give me.

01:51:28.780 No, I didn't give you any information.

01:51:30.220 You didn't give me that information.

01:51:31.220 That shows.

01:51:32.100 That you have to pay a certain amount?

01:51:34.120 Basically, yeah.

01:51:34.820 That's a very stupid rule.

01:51:36.380 It is, actually.

01:51:36.820 There are a lot of men who don't need to be given this information at the last minute.

01:51:41.000 I don't know if you're aware of that, but...

01:51:42.640 And hello, Mr. 1940.

01:51:45.380 Yes.

01:51:45.780 And there are a lot of us that are metrosexual and absolutely proud of it.

01:51:50.460 That's true.

01:51:50.800 Well, I don't know if there's a lot, but there's at least you.

01:51:55.140 Did you know...

01:51:56.200 I found this out yesterday.

01:51:57.640 Uh-huh.

01:51:59.120 Do you know what the New York Mets, their real name is?

01:52:02.480 Yeah, the Metropolitans.

01:52:03.540 That's crazy.

01:52:04.760 Mm-hmm.

01:52:05.480 Didn't know that.

01:52:06.800 I was on the air yesterday, and I was trying to think of what's...

01:52:10.200 You would have loved this moment.

01:52:10.440 You would have loved this moment, Pat.

01:52:12.580 I was honestly trying...

01:52:14.460 What were we talking about?

01:52:15.380 We were talking about the Yankees and that the Yankees should have to fold.

01:52:18.200 And why?

01:52:18.780 Because, well, if Kate Smith has to no longer have a statue because she sang one song or

01:52:24.380 two songs that...

01:52:25.400 One of it, at least, was a parody of racists.

01:52:28.040 But she was saying a racist...

01:52:29.320 A song with racist lyrics many, many years ago.

01:52:31.780 Shouldn't the Yankees have to fold considering they wouldn't allow black players on the team

01:52:35.460 until the 40s?

01:52:36.340 Right.

01:52:36.780 Huh?

01:52:37.280 I mean, that's much worse than a couple of songs.

01:52:39.780 I like that.

01:52:40.160 So we should demolish the stadium right away.

01:52:42.600 And I said that they couldn't use the Yankees' name anymore.

01:52:45.900 They'd have to come up with a new name, the worst name I could think of.

01:52:50.300 And I was sitting there thinking, and I'm like, what would be just the worst possible

01:52:54.100 name for a New York team?

01:52:56.300 And I thought...

01:52:56.980 And I said to Stu, they should call themselves the Metropolitans.

01:53:01.440 No way.

01:53:02.340 Yeah, I did.

01:53:03.060 And I really didn't know that that's what the Mets were short for.

01:53:08.960 That's crazy.

01:53:09.600 That's a horrible name.

01:53:11.040 It is.

01:53:11.420 The Mets should change their name.

01:53:13.480 There's a sportscaster in New York who drives people crazy because he calls them the Metropolitans.

01:53:19.100 Every single time he mentions the Mets, no one else on the face of this planet calls the

01:53:25.400 Mets the Metropolitans.

01:53:26.840 Because he insists upon doing it.

01:53:29.180 I know, and you've just witnessed sports lovers.

01:53:32.980 I know nothing.

01:53:34.700 Even I know that's an embarrassing name.

01:53:37.360 It is embarrassing.

01:53:38.080 It is.

01:53:38.380 That needs to go away.

01:53:39.180 Yeah, the old-timey names, like the Cincinnati Redlegs, the Knickerbockers, New York Knickerbockers

01:53:44.680 for bad...

01:53:45.040 Knickerbockers is just kind of...

01:53:47.620 I don't know.

01:53:48.300 The Metropolitans seems like you're...

01:53:51.180 You know, Knickerbockers sound like something tough.

01:53:55.060 Really?

01:53:55.660 Not to me.

01:53:56.480 That isn't me.

01:53:56.940 I always thought a really bad one was the Oakland Athletics.

01:54:00.700 That's just like...

01:54:01.260 That's not...

01:54:01.520 You're not even trying.

01:54:02.300 Yeah, they were doing athletics.

01:54:03.960 We got it.

01:54:05.400 Sounds like a gym you go once to.

01:54:08.740 Yeah.

01:54:09.340 And then you're just trying to cancel your subscription for the rest of the...

01:54:12.800 And then they're like, hey, Oakland, you guys are the Athletics.

01:54:14.960 That's a really dumb name.

01:54:15.700 They're like, well, we'll just call ourselves the A's.

01:54:18.140 It's like the Oakland A's.

01:54:19.260 That's just a letter.

01:54:20.360 Like, you guys are not even attempting to try here.

01:54:24.040 This is not a good effort.

01:54:25.380 You know, the Packers isn't a great name either.

01:54:28.640 Named after a meatpacking plant.

01:54:30.580 That's not great.

01:54:31.960 That's not great either.

01:54:33.280 But you're tough.

01:54:33.980 If you're a meatpacker, you're tough.

01:54:35.240 You are tough.

01:54:36.020 You're tough.

01:54:36.540 Yeah.

01:54:37.060 Yeah.

01:54:37.360 Have the A's thought about adding holes to their name?

01:54:43.620 A-holes?

01:54:44.660 That would work in today's culture.

01:54:47.600 It would.

01:54:48.120 It would be good.

01:54:49.060 Modernizing.

01:54:49.520 I'd wear that shirt.

01:54:50.660 Sure.

01:54:50.720 Sure.

01:54:50.880 Sure.

01:54:51.100 Sure.

01:54:51.240 Sure.

01:54:51.720 Sure.

01:54:51.780 Sure.

01:54:52.240 Sure.

01:54:52.820 Sure.

01:54:53.320 Sure.

01:54:53.820 Sure.

01:54:54.820 All right.

01:54:56.600 Thank you, Pat.

01:54:57.060 Pac-Ray Unleashed, the podcast available everywhere you get them.

01:55:00.200 Hey, by the way, well, we'll talk about it in a minute.

01:55:03.460 I want to talk to you a little bit about Norton Security.

01:55:07.040 Norton Security, we've known forever, is the best at what they do in protecting all of your devices from viruses and everything else.

01:55:16.280 Well, now you've got an intentional virus.

01:55:18.720 You have Google and Facebook and the NSA and everybody else that is monitoring every keystroke that you do.

01:55:26.440 You can go into a Starbucks and you can get on public Wi-Fi and somebody can just hack in.

01:55:34.240 It's public Wi-Fi, man.

01:55:35.460 It's like a public toilet.

01:55:38.260 It's not the place you want to spread everything out and just be like, I could have a sandwich in here.

01:55:42.320 No.

01:55:42.560 So stop doing your banking, you know, with public Wi-Fi.

01:55:47.500 And stop eating your sandwiches in the toilet.

01:55:49.920 Well, I'm saying you wouldn't do that.

01:55:51.280 No, I'm just saying, I'm just in case someone's listening and confused.

01:55:54.160 Oh, man.

01:55:54.680 I mean, if you're eating your sandwich in your toilet, I mean, you've got.

01:55:58.740 Anyway, this is probably the product's not for you.

01:56:02.480 A VPN.

01:56:03.540 You need a virtual private network, a Norton Secure VPN.

01:56:08.140 This makes sure that nobody's putting cookies on anything.

01:56:10.680 Nobody is tracking you.

01:56:11.880 Nobody is, you know, monitoring you.

01:56:14.080 Nobody can hack in because you're using a different you're using a ghost network.

01:56:19.500 It's a VPN.

01:56:21.200 You think maybe, oh, that's something like spies would have.

01:56:24.560 Well, yes, but it's also something that I think everybody's going to have in the very near future.

01:56:30.380 A VPN, it will keep you secure.

01:56:33.300 Norton, the leader in cyber security, is the person that you need this VPN from.

01:56:39.760 And you can get it by going to Norton.com slash VPN.

01:56:44.000 Norton.com slash VPN.

01:56:46.700 Costs you three bucks a month, just over three bucks, like $3.33 a month.

01:56:50.260 If you sign up for a year, you download the app.

01:56:53.480 You put in the password once, and then it gives you the entrance to the World Wide Web

01:57:00.040 through their VPN, and nobody's tracking you.

01:57:05.740 It's Norton.com slash VPN.

01:57:09.240 Do it now.

01:57:10.420 So Joe Biden went and announced that he's, what a shock, running for president of the United States,

01:57:16.260 and he came right after Donald Trump.

01:57:19.260 And we have an expose on Joe Biden in two parts that you need to see.

01:57:24.020 It's free.

01:57:24.780 You can find it on the Glenn Beck YouTube page.

01:57:26.800 You can find it on Glenn Beck.com.

01:57:28.620 I'm sure it's up on my Facebook.

01:57:30.160 It's on your Twitter as well.

01:57:31.100 And Twitter as well.

01:57:32.460 And watch this, the truth about Joe Biden.

01:57:36.080 It's pretty staggering.

01:57:37.860 It's pretty staggering.

01:57:38.880 He's number 20 in the race now.

01:57:40.680 And we still expect a couple of more to get in here in the next couple of weeks.

01:57:44.380 But number 20 of Democratic candidates that are getting into the race.

01:57:47.720 Can I just say something?

01:57:49.400 You know, because I know nothing about sports at all, as it's quite apparent if you've been listening this hour.

01:57:55.080 But I'm struck by the socialist kind of structure of football.

01:58:00.820 Yeah.

01:58:01.420 I agree with you on this, because basically they slot in the salaries for all these players.

01:58:05.560 So if you're first pick, you get this salary, and that's it.

01:58:07.920 There's not a negotiation.

01:58:08.820 It's just part of the deal.

01:58:10.320 Second pick, same thing.

01:58:11.180 Because the owners were afraid that they would pay the players too much.

01:58:14.820 They kept making mistakes.

01:58:15.760 And like, well, we keep making mistakes.

01:58:16.960 You have to change the system.

01:58:17.960 I don't know.

01:58:18.380 Don't make mistakes.

01:58:19.720 Like, that's the whole point of the league.

01:58:20.480 Well, it is kind of a bet, though.

01:58:21.720 It is kind of a bet.

01:58:22.880 Yeah, it's a bet.

01:58:23.600 But I mean, you know.

01:58:24.280 But it's interesting.

01:58:25.000 They do that.

01:58:25.660 And then they also have a salary cap.

01:58:27.420 So you cannot spend more than a certain amount on your players.

01:58:31.740 Also, though, they have a salary minimum that you cannot spend less than a certain percentage on your players,

01:58:37.560 as averaged over four or five years, because they don't want teams to basically go for bargain basement players and be non-competitive.

01:58:46.200 Because you're the NFL, and all of these are franchises.

01:58:49.920 So the franchise controlled by the NFL, correct?

01:58:53.380 So you can understand it because it's trying to take care of itself, the health of.

01:59:00.120 For instance, you know, the Patriots winning the Super Bowl.

01:59:05.060 Right.

01:59:05.860 Everybody.

01:59:06.440 You know what I mean?

01:59:06.760 The Yankees winning the World Series.

01:59:09.460 Oh, what a surprise.

01:59:10.480 Right.

01:59:10.600 And you kind of want your team to be competitive, you know.

01:59:14.500 But what makes a team fun to root for is sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't.

01:59:20.040 In those good years that are surprises, you kind of don't care.

01:59:23.820 And so it hurts the health of the NFL.

01:59:26.660 Yeah.

01:59:27.060 And you could argue it's the health.

01:59:28.960 I mean, basically what they're trying to do is manipulate the outcomes for these teams.

01:59:33.420 Right.

01:59:33.680 They're trying to say that bad teams have to get good and good teams have to get bad.

01:59:37.060 They're trying to hurt the teams at the top and, quote, unquote, help the teams at the bottom.

01:59:41.240 But it's their own.

01:59:42.920 It's their own rules.

01:59:44.640 It's not outside government.

01:59:46.200 And it's not trying to hurt the good teams in New York just because that's not fair.

01:59:53.760 No, because it hurts the health of the entire all teams.

01:59:59.840 You eventually just jetted these Jacksonville Jaguars.

02:00:06.120 How much are they going to be worth?

02:00:08.160 They're not going to be able to compete with the Giants or the Jets financially.

02:00:11.720 Correct.

02:00:12.300 And that's understandable.

02:00:13.720 And they have an interest, right, in...

02:00:16.300 The Jacksonville Jaguars have an interest.

02:00:18.620 Yeah.

02:00:18.880 They all have an interest in trying to have a competitive balance.

02:00:22.200 Correct.

02:00:23.180 You know, that is...

02:00:24.300 So what makes it exciting?

02:00:26.420 Yeah, that is what...

02:00:27.540 Yeah, exactly.

02:00:28.240 You want the teams...

02:00:28.860 You don't want your team to go 25 years without making the playoffs, right?

02:00:32.160 Right.

02:00:32.360 I contend, and I'm sure sports people would disagree with me, nor would I want my team

02:00:38.940 to go 25 years of winning every time.

02:00:41.220 Well, I want my team to do that, but it's not good for the...

02:00:43.860 It's not exciting for the league.

02:00:45.060 And it wouldn't be exciting for you as a fan.

02:00:46.960 I mean, it would be exciting for me as a fan to have the Eagles win 25 Super Bowl.

02:00:49.280 Only because it's the Eagles.

02:00:51.420 Never.

02:00:51.960 You've just seen how excited it was when they won one.

02:00:53.840 I know.

02:00:54.660 I know.

02:00:55.320 So, but I mean, you, of course, root for your team to win.

02:00:57.840 And however you know, the league as a whole looks at this and says, okay, well, we don't

02:01:01.600 want the same teams to win every year, and we don't want the same teams to be horrible

02:01:04.140 every year.

02:01:04.600 So they put in what are largely socialist policies to manipulate outcomes to bring everyone to

02:01:10.360 the middle, right?

02:01:11.960 That's what Elizabeth Warren wants to do, right, with the country.

02:01:15.140 And, you know, in a way, it's defeating merit, right?

02:01:18.500 If the New England Patriots are good enough to beat everybody every single year, in theory,

02:01:23.600 you should not be stopping them.

02:01:24.840 They're just winning.

02:01:25.480 Right.

02:01:25.920 But if it's a game, like I don't want to see...

02:01:29.160 But if it's a game, you want it manipulated, right?

02:01:30.360 Yes.

02:01:30.760 Because it's a game.

02:01:31.940 I don't want to see the U.S. military go against the, you know, Delaware Cub Scouts if it's a

02:01:38.620 game.

02:01:39.400 If I'm, you know, part of the U.S. and the Cub Scouts are in rebellion, I'm glad that it's

02:01:46.360 the Cub Scouts.

02:01:47.160 We could take care of it pretty quickly.

02:01:48.580 But if it's a game, I want to see my...

02:01:51.400 We don't have to use any of our planes.

02:01:52.880 We don't have to use any of the real plays because it's such an easy thing to walk all

02:01:56.880 over them.

02:01:57.460 Yeah.

02:01:57.640 And it can work in a game.

02:01:58.760 It doesn't work on society.

02:02:00.160 Correct.

02:02:00.460 You can't just punish people because they've done a good job and reward people for not

02:02:04.840 doing a good job.

02:02:05.480 It's the free market system saying, in this one company, if you will, NFL, these are our

02:02:12.620 rules.

02:02:13.720 It's fine.

02:02:14.380 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
