00:00:17.420 Hello. Welcome. We're here in America.

00:00:19.860 A lot on the plate today.

00:00:21.840 Yesterday, the first full work day at the White House.

00:00:25.400 What did President Trump do?

00:00:27.360 What is in the process?

00:00:30.720 And why is it that I didn't see this headline from Time Magazine,

00:00:37.060 oh, I don't know, eight years ago?

00:00:38.960 Donald Trump breaks almost all of his day one promises.

00:00:42.860 No, not really.

00:00:45.480 Especially after you read the story.

00:00:47.820 Seems like the headline writers like to just throw bloody meat at people.

00:00:52.900 We'll get to what he did, and also, it looks like he may have selected a Supreme Court justice.

00:01:02.680 We have some insiders that are now saying we think it is this particular man.

00:01:08.120 We're going to give you all the details on who that is and what it means, beginning right now.

00:01:14.140 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand,

00:01:21.880 cause we are one, I will beat my drum, I have made my choice,

00:01:28.560 we will overcome, cause we are one.

00:01:32.780 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:36.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:40.300 Listen to this story.

00:01:44.060 Donald Trump breaks almost all of his day one promises.

00:01:47.260 As candidate, Donald Trump set a sweeping day one agenda.

00:01:50.580 As of Monday evening, the vast majority of his promises have gone unfulfilled.

00:01:55.000 At rallies and speeches over the course of his campaign,

00:01:57.280 as well as a contract spelled out with the American voters,

00:02:00.180 Trump vowed to move swiftly to overhaul the country's approaches to trade and immigration.

00:02:04.620 He said repealing and replacing his predecessor's signature health care law

00:02:08.460 would be one of his first acts as president.

00:02:13.200 He vowed to terminate what he dubbed his predecessor's two illegal executive amnesties.

00:02:17.540 And he committed to push forward with sweeping ethics reforms

00:02:20.400 and undue scores of environmental and other regulations.

00:02:24.340 But since he was sworn in on Friday,

00:02:28.660 he's moved at a decidedly slower pace.

00:02:32.420 Anybody else find, but since he was sworn in Friday,

00:02:39.840 he's moved at a slower pace?

00:02:42.740 Here's what he did yesterday on his first full workday at the White House.

00:02:47.500 This is what he did.

00:02:49.020 He withdrew from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

00:02:52.060 TPP is a thing of the past.

00:02:55.840 Here's what the order does.

00:02:57.960 He made it clear that he would not consider putting the agreement to a vote in Congress.

00:03:02.420 The U.S. will withdraw as a signatory toward the deal

00:03:05.960 and permanently withdraw from any further negotiations.

00:03:09.840 The member nations closed the agreement in 2015,

00:03:12.880 but with most of the Democrats against it

00:03:14.740 and pro-trade Republicans hesitant to support it in an election year,

00:03:19.480 Obama decided to hold off asking Congress to ratify the agreement

00:03:22.580 until the GOP leaders were confident it was passed.

00:03:25.320 That moment never came.

00:03:27.060 What it doesn't do,

00:03:28.860 it does not mean that Trump is taking the U.S. out of trade altogether.

00:03:33.000 Indeed, Trump officials say he will consider seeking discrete trade agreements

00:03:36.480 with many of the nations who were party to TPP.

00:03:39.940 The U.S. already has bilateral agreements with many already.

00:03:44.000 It was a move, a strong signal,

00:03:46.160 that the Trump administration wants free and fair trade throughout the world,

00:03:49.620 says Sean Spicer.

00:03:51.780 The executive action ushers in a new era of U.S. trade policy

00:03:55.560 in which the Trump administration will pursue bilateral trade opportunities

00:03:59.080 with allies around the globe.

00:04:02.340 Good?

00:04:03.360 Everybody happy with that one?

00:04:05.980 Yeah, I think so.

00:04:07.380 I have my issues with him on trade,

00:04:09.640 and I think there's no need going into them.

00:04:13.620 I don't know that he's pulling out of TPP

00:04:15.660 for the same reasons that you don't like TPP.

00:04:19.940 That one concerns me because the way he talks about trade,

00:04:25.000 but I know you like him.

00:04:26.140 Okay, so let's judge him on his actions,

00:04:30.480 not what we fear.

00:04:33.180 Can we do that?

00:04:34.440 Of course, it's fair.

00:04:35.480 So, just on this action,

00:04:39.040 not what we fear,

00:04:40.340 because what I fear is the same thing you fear.

00:04:42.160 We start putting up trade barriers,

00:04:43.980 and we start moving into the things

00:04:46.020 that he's also said he's going to do,

00:04:48.700 and we move into the area of tariffs,

00:04:51.580 and we're in real trouble.

00:04:53.400 But he hasn't done that.

00:04:55.640 On this, I think this is a good thing,

00:04:57.880 getting out of TPP.

00:04:58.940 I mean, you know, there are risks to it.

00:05:01.000 China will be able to write all the rules.

00:05:02.720 Right.

00:05:02.860 So, I mean, obviously, our issue is China with trade.

00:05:07.260 Now, China's going to be writing the rules, 0.99

00:05:08.780 likely for this entire group of countries,

00:05:10.360 which will be their negotiating starting point

00:05:13.360 for anything going further.

00:05:15.200 Of course, you know,

00:05:15.720 Trump would say that he's going to be able

00:05:17.540 to negotiate better deals,

00:05:18.720 and he may very well, he might.

00:05:21.340 So, I mean, to this one,

00:05:22.340 I'm not, like, thrilled about that.

00:05:23.900 But I know I'm in the minority, for sure.

00:05:26.300 You happy, Pat?

00:05:27.580 Yeah, I think that's a good thing.

00:05:29.200 Reinstating a ban on funding some abortion services.

00:05:34.600 Trump's order yesterday reimposes a ban

00:05:37.700 initiated in 1984 by Reagan

00:05:40.940 on government support for international aid groups

00:05:43.300 that provide or counsel women on abortion services.

00:05:46.920 To receive any USA,

00:05:48.360 non-governmental organizations

00:05:49.820 will now have to certify they do not perform

00:05:52.260 or actively promote abortion

00:05:54.100 as a method of family planning.

00:05:55.780 This ban is called the global gag rule

00:05:59.640 lifted by Obama after he took office in 2009.

00:06:03.820 What it doesn't do,

00:06:05.160 it doesn't affect family planning

00:06:06.640 or abortion policy here in the United States.

00:06:09.540 However, good for a step to start.

00:06:11.780 What the hell are we doing funding abortions? 1.00

00:06:14.080 Anywhere.

00:06:14.780 Anywhere, but especially foreign countries.

00:06:17.320 Yeah, that's an A-plus for me.

00:06:18.680 And also, you know,

00:06:20.240 it's been one of those things

00:06:21.100 that every Democrat has not enacted

00:06:24.020 and every Republican has.

00:06:25.400 So it was, you know, Reagan had it on,

00:06:27.080 then the Clintons took it off,

00:06:28.160 then Bush put it back on,

00:06:29.240 then Obama took it off.

00:06:30.320 So this is very consistent

00:06:31.360 with past Republican policies since Reagan

00:06:33.280 and obviously as somebody who's pro-life,

00:06:35.280 it's important.

00:06:37.880 Third, ordering a government-wide hiring freeze.

00:06:42.120 Here's what the order does.

00:06:43.880 The Trump administration directed

00:06:45.220 the leaders of all federal agencies

00:06:47.560 and departments to freeze hiring of new personnel.

00:06:50.180 Any vacancies in the federal workforce

00:06:52.820 as of noon on Sunday must remain unfulfilled

00:06:56.560 and no new positions may be created

00:06:59.440 except in limited circumstances.

00:07:02.360 The decision is meant to counter

00:07:03.900 the dramatic expansion of the federal workforce

00:07:06.160 since the Clinton administration

00:07:07.520 from 1.8 million civilian employees

00:07:10.040 to 2.1 million.

00:07:11.960 The cost in health and retirement benefits

00:07:14.160 are unsustainable, says the administration.

00:07:16.960 There's frankly, to some degree,

00:07:18.380 been a lack of respect for taxpayer dollars

00:07:20.240 in this town for a long time, said Spicer.

00:07:23.000 What the order does not do,

00:07:24.860 the military is exempt from the freeze.

00:07:26.720 Each department or agency can also exempt

00:07:28.520 any position that it deems necessary

00:07:30.360 to meet national security

00:07:31.980 or public safety responsibilities.

00:07:34.220 I think that's good.

00:07:35.040 Just through attrition,

00:07:36.520 you will cut the size of the government

00:07:38.200 down dramatically.

00:07:39.400 Yeah, I'm certainly a big fan of this one as well.

00:07:41.620 The left is based,

00:07:42.960 their point is just so we know,

00:07:45.600 because it's always important to know,

00:07:46.960 their argument is essentially,

00:07:48.420 of all the things that have expanded

00:07:50.120 during the Obama administration,

00:07:51.680 federal employment hasn't really expanded.

00:07:55.420 A lot of that's to do with economic collapse

00:08:00.520 and all the stuff that kind of chased that.

00:08:02.560 But he left office about the same employment level

00:08:05.540 federally as he got into office,

00:08:08.000 which is sort of surprising, I think.

00:08:09.420 Really surprising.

00:08:10.040 Because it, but it did drop initially

00:08:12.480 and then it has come back up to even.

00:08:15.660 So that's just something to note if you care.

00:08:18.900 I mean, but I mean, as a principle,

00:08:20.320 I think it's a good idea.

00:08:21.360 We obviously know the federal government

00:08:22.700 is way too big.

00:08:24.660 And this is, you're right,

00:08:25.780 a way of doing an attrition

00:08:26.700 without having to lay people off constantly.

00:08:28.760 Yep.

00:08:29.100 And have all those negative headlines.

00:08:31.080 It's hard to fire people.

00:08:32.320 It's hard to fire people.

00:08:33.280 You don't want to fire good people.

00:08:34.460 When people leave,

00:08:35.100 you don't replace them.

00:08:36.560 And that has to go along with obvious cuts

00:08:39.260 in the structure eventually.

00:08:40.720 But there's enough fat on there

00:08:42.040 that you don't have to think about that for a while.

00:08:43.720 Going to turn the federal workers against

00:08:45.180 because, I mean,

00:08:45.860 how many times have we worked in a company

00:08:47.520 where they just didn't hire replacements

00:08:49.500 and then you get congratulations,

00:08:52.100 no pay increase,

00:08:53.060 you get to do their job too.

00:08:54.820 And you're like, oh crap.

00:08:56.080 So it's going to be bad on the morale

00:08:57.580 of the government workers.

00:08:59.580 In progress,

00:09:01.500 he has announced his intention

00:09:02.620 to renegotiate or withdraw

00:09:04.120 from the North American Free Trade Agreement,

00:09:06.760 NAFTA,

00:09:08.120 with Canada and Mexico.

00:09:10.680 He is in conversations

00:09:11.940 with Canadian and Mexican leaders.

00:09:13.920 Trump has made clear his intention

00:09:15.380 to renegotiate the deal,

00:09:16.800 though no formal steps have been taken.

00:09:19.300 He has also convened his generals

00:09:21.540 and informed them

00:09:22.580 that they have 30 days

00:09:23.460 to submit a new plan

00:09:24.760 for defeating the Islamic State group.

00:09:28.180 So these are some of the promises

00:09:30.420 that he made.

00:09:31.080 Remember he was out and he said,

00:09:32.420 we're not going to fight this the way

00:09:33.580 I'm going to go to the generals

00:09:34.820 and I'm going to tell them,

00:09:36.800 you scrap what you're doing

00:09:38.080 and come up with something else.

00:09:39.620 I'm going to do that day one.

00:09:41.500 Well, this is where Time Magazine is like,

00:09:43.380 well, he didn't do that.

00:09:44.680 Well, he's informed them

00:09:47.920 and he's convened them

00:09:49.980 and he's telling them

00:09:52.080 that they now have 30 days.

00:09:54.520 Come up with a new plan

00:09:56.100 because your old plan sucks. 0.79

00:09:58.760 This is similar.

00:09:59.260 I mean, to give you the difference

00:10:02.320 between the way they cover these presidents

00:10:03.640 and this is PolitiFact who did this,

00:10:06.360 but we talked about it.

00:10:07.440 Did we talk about it yesterday?

00:10:08.260 I think we may have.

00:10:09.340 Maybe I was on Pat and Stu yesterday.

00:10:11.580 By the way,

00:10:13.140 Douche Hall of Fame.

00:10:13.880 Oh, yes.

00:10:14.520 Barack Obama elected

00:10:15.920 into the Douche Hall of Fame.

00:10:17.300 He sneaked in.

00:10:17.720 96% though.

00:10:18.980 One of the lower numbers we've seen

00:10:21.660 to get into the Douche Hall of Fame.

00:10:22.580 He's going to get 95.

00:10:23.420 You're right.

00:10:24.100 I mean, yes.

00:10:25.140 It only takes 95,

00:10:26.180 but it's somewhat disappointing.

00:10:28.760 It's somewhat disappointing

00:10:29.460 that it wasn't 100%.

00:10:30.220 It was not a 100%.

00:10:31.280 Or at least a 99%er.

00:10:32.780 That's what I really expected that.

00:10:34.900 To get 96 is devastating,

00:10:37.060 honestly, to his legacy.

00:10:38.900 How is he not the all-time high vote getter?

00:10:41.400 I don't know.

00:10:42.160 That's what I want to know.

00:10:42.700 Who is the all-time high vote getter?

00:10:44.720 There's a few 99%ers.

00:10:46.300 One of them is Al Gore.

00:10:47.720 Al Gore was in there.

00:10:48.740 Anthony Wiener, I believe.

00:10:49.880 Wiener.

00:10:50.560 Of course, that was at the height

00:10:51.820 of the Wiener scandal.

00:10:53.320 Here's the 99%ers. 0.99

00:10:54.780 Anthony Wiener, Al Gore, Maxine Waters,

00:10:58.940 for some reason.

00:11:00.320 I don't remember what she did that day.

00:11:01.980 Harry Reid, well-deserved.

00:11:03.820 Harry Reid.

00:11:04.520 Ed Schultz, 99%er in the Douche Hall of Fame.

00:11:08.320 And Nancy Pelosi.

00:11:10.660 This is hard to believe.

00:11:12.000 Eric Holder is the last one.

00:11:13.640 Harry Reid, Eric Holder are all 99.

00:11:16.920 And Barack Obama.

00:11:18.340 That says something about it.

00:11:19.640 It may have something to do with respect for the presidency,

00:11:23.100 but I don't know if that's a factor.

00:11:26.160 Another theory is the reason why he has a 60% approval rating right now,

00:11:30.060 which is everyone's been focusing on other people they don't like for a while,

00:11:33.240 so they've kind of forgotten about him.

00:11:34.480 He hasn't been as in the news lately.

00:11:37.680 Just think about him for a second, and you can get back to 90%.

00:11:40.260 He tried to alert people.

00:11:41.920 That's amazing.

00:11:42.840 My point, though, on the coverage was that PolitiFact gave him a true

00:11:46.680 for a promise he made about his first day or first 100 days or whatever it was,

00:11:50.900 that he was going to reform criminal justice.

00:11:53.860 And so when you look at the details of the promise,

00:11:55.720 he said he was going to appoint a panel to look at how they should reform criminal justice.

00:12:01.440 And because he appointed the panel, they gave him a true.

00:12:05.380 Did they look at it?

00:12:06.480 They looked at it, and they did look, and he did appoint the panel.

00:12:09.860 All right.

00:12:10.080 So true.

00:12:10.660 That's a true.

00:12:11.120 Now, look at what he's doing here.

00:12:13.800 They're saying it's a falsehood that he was able to do this with the generals,

00:12:18.200 even though he has basically said, look at it.

00:12:21.520 Trump has formally requested Pentagon advice on changing the campaign against the militants.

00:12:26.940 Spicer said the president will continue to have those conversations later in the week.

00:12:31.040 So did he break his promise that on day one?

00:12:33.660 No, I don't think so.

00:12:34.020 And, I mean, when you're saying day one, I mean, do you really mean the first day I'm going to sign all of these things?

00:12:43.300 Do you really?

00:12:43.760 I mean, he wasn't the president.

00:12:45.460 Who was he to go to the generals and say, hey, when I get into office, I want a plan.

00:12:50.660 I want to have that plan ready, and I'm going to execute it on day one.

00:12:54.460 Yeah.

00:12:54.780 It's a silly nitpicking, I would say.

00:12:56.960 Ask Congress his promise to send him a bill to repeal and replace Obama's signature health care law.

00:13:02.620 Now, he's already done that, didn't he?

00:13:05.600 Didn't he ask Congress last week?

00:13:07.660 He's been working with Congress for weeks.

00:13:10.680 Yeah, I mean, he passed an executive order, which I don't know if this is a common way of doing it,

00:13:14.500 with basically saying, we want to pull out of Obamacare, was basically the only executive order.

00:13:19.680 That was on Friday.

00:13:20.620 Right.

00:13:21.200 Although, I don't know.

00:13:22.020 Which was day one, actually.

00:13:23.040 It's a weird executive order.

00:13:24.160 Do they usually do that?

00:13:25.160 Like, it didn't actually do anything.

00:13:26.840 It just said, we're going to take every step we can to.

00:13:29.480 It announced the intention, and I think it was important to him to show that he was on Sunday.

00:13:33.360 I do, too.

00:13:33.820 Yeah.

00:13:34.820 Okay, so pending.

00:13:36.660 He said he would stop all federal funding to sanctuary cities.

00:13:39.740 I love that.

00:13:40.760 I do, too.

00:13:41.180 Places where local officials don't arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally for federal authorities.

00:13:47.160 Begin deporting what Trump estimates to be more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants living in the country.

00:13:52.960 That's an interesting one, too.

00:13:54.280 I mean, he is.

00:13:55.400 And an important one, because it was they who cost him the popular vote.

00:14:00.120 Yes, of course.

00:14:00.940 He's got to get rid of them.

00:14:02.500 But, I mean, he, man, they are really pushing for this.

00:14:06.560 I mean, he said, I think it was Spicer yesterday who said, we are not going to repeal DACA, the Obama administration executive order that basically, you know, put liberal doctrine into rule.

00:14:21.400 And their idea is to find a long-term solution through Congress, which is surprising.

00:14:27.860 I mean, that one I was actually surprised about.

00:14:29.940 And they are very much talking like Obama's been talking for the past eight years of we're going to go after criminals.

00:14:36.500 Like, it's very much now focused on criminal illegal aliens, which, as we, you know, noted the other day, the deportations for them have increased.

00:14:44.660 Yeah.

00:14:44.840 And that's the easy way out.

00:14:46.140 It's the easy way.

00:14:46.580 Then you don't have to deal with, well, what about those who have been here for 20 years?

00:14:51.320 Well, they shouldn't have been here for 20 years.

00:14:54.260 Deport them or remove the incentives.

00:14:58.060 Now, there is something that is happening in Silicon Valley on this topic that I want to get to after we get through this whole list.

00:15:03.760 But Silicon Valley has decided they're going to say never again is now.

00:15:09.280 They're saying IBM helped with the Holocaust, and we will not assist the government in any way on doing things where they're targeting minorities or religious groups or anything like that.

00:15:22.140 And it's really weird.

00:15:23.640 Stu and I read it this morning, and we both agree with what they say they want to do, but not their reasons.

00:15:30.520 Their reasons are so shallow.

00:15:32.140 So it's a little, I mean, it's really disappointing, but I think it's going to be one of those things that you're torn on, but you kind of applaud them for doing it, but not for the reasons they're doing it.

00:15:45.700 And on all these policies we've been discussing, overall, there's a lot to like.

00:15:49.120 I mean, it was a little weird to see Donald Trump sitting down with all the union officials and agreeing with him about trade policy.

00:15:55.020 I mean, that makes me feel very weird.

00:15:57.060 But overall, there's a lot to like there, and I think while there might be a mixed bag, it's great to see some of these changes.

00:16:04.200 It's unconstitutional to make you feel weird, too.

00:16:06.540 Right.

00:16:06.920 Yes.

00:16:07.460 There's no safe zone anymore.

00:16:09.780 Now this.

00:16:11.520 Phishing with PH.

00:16:13.260 Phishing is when somebody goes online and you get an email from them.

00:16:17.640 It looks like it's from a reputable source.

00:16:19.880 Think John Podesta.

00:16:21.520 This is what phishing is.

00:16:23.800 It's a scam to get personal information.

00:16:26.080 There's a new, highly sophisticated phishing campaign that's attacking compromised Gmail accounts by mounting a secondary attack on users in their contact list.

00:16:36.960 Identity theft is America's fastest growing crime.

00:16:41.460 Somebody, if you have Gmail accounts, somebody could be trying to get in and grab your contact list to go phishing in your contacts.

00:16:59.660 If you have a problem, a U.S.-based agent will work to fix it for you.

00:17:03.440 Now, I will tell you this.

00:17:04.540 I was, where was I, someplace, and somebody got a hold of my contact list, and I received an email from a good friend who was saying that he was in Chicago and his bank had been closed, his credit cards had been shut off, and everything had been shut off because of some snafu.

00:17:25.620 Glenn, could you, Glenn, could you, could you, could you, could you, could you, could you wire me $1,000?

00:17:29.640 I'll pay it back to you.

00:17:30.920 and it was signed by a friend and it was on his email account and i really thought it was his

00:17:35.880 except i know him well enough to know that he had my phone number and he would have called me and

00:17:41.660 not emailed me and um uh so i didn't send the money that's what it looks like and somebody

00:21:24.380 uh yesterday we um we um uh moved into our new radio facility and we want to thank overstock

00:21:31.320 everything on the set came from overstock and just you can't i i never used overstock a year ago

00:21:37.620 and been using them i'll never furniture shop or shop for anything they're great ever yeah in a store

00:21:45.820 again it is the easiest thing ever and this stuff is awesome i know pat just said to me did you have to

00:21:52.120 have that custom made i'm like no overstock i mean you would not believe yeah it's great what they

00:21:57.460 have it's like it's honestly it's it's so similar to amazon where you just start getting on to amazon

00:22:04.400 you know years ago you'd be like well i'll buy my books there but now you just buy everything there

00:22:09.500 same thing with overstock the name is misleading because it's not you know i used to think overstock

00:22:16.260 was this thing where you know it's like yeah we had this off the shelf and so nobody wanted to buy

00:22:20.860 that it's not that at all no and you'll love it you'll love it so thanks overstock for um your

00:22:26.400 help um go back to the um go back to the oscars here for a second because let's see how many of

00:22:32.220 these we've even seen yeah by the way on twitter someone tweets uh i didn't get past the description

00:22:38.500 of la la land glenn loved it he might have low t which i thought was an interesting observation

00:22:44.200 about you and i i think we've established that okay no i i do have low t but uh does it cause by

00:22:53.480 musicals is that how that no no no it's not but i i mean i don't know if that's actually been proven

00:22:59.780 what it's not caused by musical yeah no it might be i i personally i i loved it and i think anybody

00:23:06.740 who has a heart you heartless grinch so they weren't able to to have a heart without singing

00:23:13.580 it they had to know i mean okay okay okay yes okay i mean it will take you the first scene because

00:23:20.800 it took me the first scene is an opening scene where they all get out of their cars on the freeway

00:23:26.420 and they start singing and i'm like no is it really that yeah i hate that i know and i and i

00:23:31.240 and i was like i don't think i can do this i just don't think me me wow yeah i don't think i can do

00:23:37.800 this i got past that scene and you'll love it let me you love it so is it one of those obnoxious

00:23:45.220 things where everything is sung or do they speak for long periods of time it's the first half

00:23:49.820 the first half okay so you think when you first watch it the first song you know it's

00:23:56.320 opening is a song and it's smart because it it lowers your expectations you're like oh i'm gonna

00:24:04.420 hate this movie um and uh it starts out where everybody is singing and they're all like getting

00:24:10.720 out of their cars and they're like i'm going to work today or whatever the hell they're singing 0.54

00:24:14.340 and you're like oh my gosh i want to hang myself and then that happened to me yesterday on i-35

00:24:20.860 right everybody jumped out we're having fun in traffic

00:24:25.000 and then all of a sudden everybody at the same time gets in their cars and they drive away

00:24:30.640 so that happens all the time anyway it's great so then it settles down to where it is more of

00:24:38.500 um a drama where the one character or the two main characters just sing something it's not like

00:24:46.980 um moulin rouge where they were big production numbers yeah this is more the only real production

00:24:53.420 number that i can remember is the first one where everybody is singing you're like okay stop it

00:24:57.640 um the rest of it is just this love story between these two then the second half almost has no singing in

00:25:05.040 it and it's just this really cool love story it would be a great approach if for some reason you

00:25:10.980 were constitutionally required to sing in movies but you're not so you don't have to find out ways to

00:25:16.300 minimize it you could just do none of it well it is almost like it's almost like they started out

00:25:20.700 as like a real 1930s movie and you know they were they were like uh uh okay we're gonna do this big

00:25:28.160 broadway kind of movie and then they saw the first number they're like yeah that's not so good of an

00:25:33.640 idea maybe we'll just have a couple of people saying let's just do a drama 0.70

00:25:38.660 we've already invested too much in these big numbers we gotta keep them right no i i really

00:25:46.780 loved it though obviously la la land has been nominated okay so i'm the only one that's seen

00:25:51.440 that yes only one okay uh also manchester by the sea i hear that's not seen that not seen it anybody

00:25:56.700 see it i've heard it's a very sad yeah but what's it about looks really sad i don't know uh i don't

00:26:03.240 want to go see sad i don't either neither do i hell or high water which i've heard i've seen it

00:26:08.720 what is that about it's a texas movie that is a texas movie remember they went and they the movie

00:26:13.880 company came to us and asked us to bring some people to screen oh that's right yeah remember

00:26:18.660 and we screened it way in advance because they were afraid that conservatives wouldn't like it

00:26:24.940 that's great because it's bank robbers of this bank that has screwed all these people in from 2008

00:26:31.960 okay and so it was like a true story no oh okay and uh but it's i loved it i absolutely loved it

00:26:41.260 and the audience really loved it it's really good fences with denzel washington looks really good

00:26:47.560 haven't seen it moonlight which i don't know anything about what the hell is that i don't know uh gangs

00:26:54.220 miami oh yeah i think that's got a chance to actually if it's not going to be la la land which

00:26:59.080 is going to be the big favorite moonlight i would say is la la land's going to do it because it's a

00:27:02.720 love story to hollywood it's their story it'll win so they will win because they'll be like oh i

00:27:08.620 remember that was me yeah oh i remember when i got out of my car in the freeway and sang

00:27:14.140 also lion which i i don't know anything about that what is that about that's probably about that

00:27:20.360 dentist uh remember the dentist that killed the lion who'd just be like and then nominated for an

00:27:27.940 award hidden figures which is the the three african-american women who my family has seen

00:27:33.960 that my kids have seen that they say it's fantastic i've heard good things about it uh hidden figures

00:27:38.860 okay uh and then hacksaw ridge which you've also seen i have not nominated for an oscar actually

00:27:45.880 so mel gibson said look it's time you guys forgive me and apparently they did because

00:27:51.600 hacksaw ridge is nominated for best picture and director excellent talk about an uphill battle he

00:27:57.300 had to fight to get that excellent unbelievable and you've seen it i have not seen it who has seen

00:34:03.940 i was just uh how you doing i'd just like to call in and um let you guys know that uh

00:34:08.900 as a active duty combat veteran uh i was actually a combat medic and i thought hacksaw rigs was

00:34:14.260 absolutely just phenomenal um we're one of the most underappreciated uh mos's in the military and

00:34:21.460 we don't get a lot of recognition a lot of the combat action um mls's do but the combat medics

00:34:27.700 don't and i thought it was great to see a movie where they could show someone who could be with

00:34:32.980 the infantry with someone in the crap like that and be as selfless as we are and i just thought it was

00:34:40.580 an absolutely phenomenal show of human spirit and the way that people really can care about other

00:34:46.420 people did you did you know about this guy ryan before the movie i did um as a combat medic when

00:34:53.460 you go through combat medic school um in uh 14 houston texas part of the thing is is they have a

00:35:00.660 combat medic museum down there pretty much everybody goes to it uh we go in they give everything and in

00:35:08.340 combat medic class they actually teach you about desmond das and the sacrifices that he gave to help

00:35:15.220 others and it basically is the embodiment of what every combat medic should be the person who is

00:35:21.620 there with the infantry you're there you're their moral support and then you're also there you know

00:35:27.220 their heart and soul without you you know everybody else there wouldn't be able to do their job if

00:35:32.900 someone got hurt so i i just really it was it really touched me i i actually kind of cried during

00:35:39.700 the movie just because it just it kind of took me back to being over there so when i was talking

00:35:45.380 to mel gibson he said that he toned some of the things down that dobs uh dawson did because he said

00:35:53.540 they're really truly unbelievable and what he does in the movie is unbelievable he said but if we did

00:35:58.180 everything that he had done he said nobody would have believed it um but one of the things that we

00:36:04.340 talked about was i thought this was the um most real prediction or a depiction of war that i've ever

00:36:14.660 seen is that what it's like to to an extent um that as close as you're going to get to a movie without

00:36:23.140 being over there um there are some things that i still don't talk about to this day um even my fiance kind

00:36:30.580 of gets a little bit upset because there's things that you just don't talk about there's things you

00:36:35.220 see there's things you do um that you're not you know you're proud of but you're not proud of at the

00:36:40.420 same time and this this for me was the closest thing to what we actually do in the heart of battle

00:39:32.980 hello america glad you're here um we got news this morning from uh inside the um uh the white house

00:39:42.020 that it looks like they may be close to nominating a supreme court justice and if indeed our source is

00:39:50.740 correct this we think is going to be a really good thing for anybody who said i have to vote for donald

00:39:58.660 trump just because of the supreme court if he does indeed nominate this guy and it turns out to be in

00:40:06.100 he he doesn't become a justice roberts on us uh which i don't think because he has a very long

00:40:13.220 history the bushes um have always nominated people who just didn't have a bad record they didn't have

00:40:20.500 any record but they're very conservative but they had no record well they've been on the bench and they

00:40:25.700 have no record they're not conservatives this guy has a long record of being a conservative and

00:40:31.140 stew's been looking at him for the last couple of hours and can bring us up to speed on possibly

00:40:37.220 the uh nominee that's going to be coming out of donald trump yeah it's interesting so the the source

00:40:42.740 is not uh ours on who it is it's jonathan carl um who is you know been very good reporter um he says he

00:40:50.740 uh i expect donald trump to make his supreme court nomination early next week sources tell me neil

00:40:55.860 gorsuch is the uh leading candidate i gotta admit i don't i don't i don't know him uh other than yeah

00:41:02.500 none of us knew i i mean we called some people that we know and got the lowdown some people who have

00:41:07.700 been doing their homework on these all of these guys and asked what they thought and stew's been

00:41:14.340 doing some extra homework himself what have you found yeah it's pretty interesting i mean he was

00:41:19.220 appointed by george w bush in may may 2006 to the circuit court of appeals the 10th circuit

00:41:26.340 he uh give some of his his uh background hobby lobby case he wrote a concurrence um sided with

00:41:33.860 hobby lobby um another case um uh the little sisters of the poor case that we talked about

00:41:40.580 yeah that was the one where they had to provide birth control and all right his point was uh 10th

00:41:45.540 circuit has shown insufficient deference to the little sisters own articulation of the tenants of

00:41:48.980 their religious beliefs um that position was of course vindicated by the supreme court later on

00:41:54.260 um simply put in cases that closely divided his court and the supreme court gorsuch has shown himself

00:42:00.420 to be an ardent defender of religious liberties and uh which is big i mean that is a uh one of the

00:42:05.860 biggest things that we had worried about with some of the other nominees um he seems to be good on that

00:42:10.020 one um he uh um uh joined another dissent in which he disagreed with basically ruling on the correct

00:42:17.860 side of for our from our perspective um about the government's ability to display 10 commandments

00:42:23.940 monument in a public park without accepting all of the other offers of donated monuments

00:42:28.900 because someone wanted they you know oh no well you have to do the satanic monument you have to put up

00:42:33.300 um so i he agreed with that one and so did the supreme court by the way um common thread if these

00:42:39.060 cases is one that matters very deeply to conservatives a sense that the government can

00:42:42.420 permit public displays of religion and can accommodate deeply held religious views without

00:42:46.820 either violating the religion clauses of the constitution or destroying the effectiveness

00:42:50.820 of government programs that occasionally run into religious objections uh scalia articulated very

00:42:55.860 similar views um gorsuch's opinions on these issues are quite thoughtful and demonstrate that he

00:43:01.300 would be a natural successor to scalia in adopting a pro-religion conception of the establishment clause

00:43:06.900 very positive again this is coming from scotus blog which is a neutral it's not a liberal or

00:43:11.460 conservative site it's just a supreme court nerd uh establishment yeah uh criminal law uh is pretty

00:43:18.580 good as well uh um this is one case uh federal law prohibits the knowing possession of a gun by a felon

00:43:25.540 okay this this law has given rise to a debate about how to best read what does knowing mean right does it mean

00:43:31.460 that a felon um possesses a gun or does it mean what if he doesn't know that he's a felon for example he has

00:43:38.340 a minor thing uh in his past which technically was a felony that he didn't realize does that mean he

00:43:45.140 should be able to does he violate what's a minor felony uh they actually explain it in here yeah

00:43:50.420 because i i mean a felony sounds pretty bad yeah it was something that would should pop up on your

00:43:56.020 radar so here's it says does it apply um when whenever a felon knowingly possesses a gun or must

00:44:02.900 violators also know they have been convicted of a felony this matters because lots of minor crimes might

00:44:07.620 technically be felonies and lots of dispositions that seem inconsequential because they involve

00:44:11.620 no jail time might technically be felony convictions yes okay well i would agree that you would have to

00:44:17.140 know you were a felon right and so so does gorsuch he says he urged the 10th circuit to review its rule

00:44:22.100 holding that it is enough to support a conviction that the defendant knew he possessed the gun whether or

00:44:26.500 not he knew he was a felon this opinion is an example of gorsuch's strong commitment to textualism

00:44:32.180 and severe critique of using legislative history i mean that's a good one particularly to make

00:44:37.460 criminal what might otherwise be innocent yeah when he says not using not using um uh history what did

00:44:44.580 he say contextual history contextualism contextualism and a severe critique of using legislative history

00:44:51.380 yeah so he this is a guy who's going to look at the meaning of the constitution this so far this guy

00:44:59.300 sounds great yeah and again here's at the end it's worth noting this means that gorsuch just like

00:45:04.420 scalia um is sometimes willing to read criminal laws more narrowly in a way that disfavors the

00:45:10.260 prosecution especially when the second amendment or other constitutional protection is involved

00:45:15.940 that's great um gorsuch uh like scalia has not been a friendly vote for death penalty

00:45:21.460 petitioners uh pursuing relief from their sentences uh his position in death penalty cases is likely to be

00:45:27.380 quite close to scalia's um this one i thought was really interesting dormant commerce clause the

00:45:33.300 dormant commerce clause what an interesting thing if you're trying to if you're trying to increase

00:45:39.220 the power of government not the commerce clause but the dormant commerce clause what is the dormant

00:45:46.420 commerce clause great question these doctrines treat the commerce clause not only as a grant of power

00:45:50.740 to congress to make laws regulating interstate commerce but it's a kind of presumptive limitation on the

00:45:55.540 power of states to make laws that either unduly burden or unfairly discriminate against internet

00:46:00.900 uh interstate commerce because as its name suggests the dormant commerce clause cannot actually be found

00:46:07.860 in the text of the constitution right scalia came around to the view that it should not be a thing

00:46:13.700 and refused to endorse any future expansion it's not a thing it's not in the wouldn't that be great if

00:46:18.980 they also came around to the uh separation of church and state isn't a thing right in the constitution

00:46:24.820 yeah well you're talking about are you talking about the separation of church and state or the dormant

00:46:30.660 wall separating church there is a dormant one there yeah uh scalia talked about in in 2015 the fundamental

00:46:38.980 problem with our negative commerce clause cases is that the constitution does not contain a negative

00:46:44.180 commerce clause which is a really good observation and i love this at the end gorsuch the the potential

00:46:49.700 judge uh as talked about by john carl from abc his opinions also reveal a measure of distrust towards

00:46:56.740 unwritten constitutional provisions like the dormant commerce clause you mean he doesn't seem to really

00:47:05.620 put a lot of weight on the thing that's not in the constitution because it's not in the constitution

00:47:10.980 they're gonna hate this guy i know but that's great stuff and that's as far as i've been able

00:47:14.580 to get through so far as we've been doing this so how are you feeling about you know the just the

00:47:18.740 first do not project out just what he's done don't project what you feel about him so far because of

00:47:28.820 the election and what he did don't project out what he might do just the last few days and that's what

00:47:34.580 we promised by the way yeah we did we promised a clean slate and try to examine these things as they go

00:47:38.980 right it's really good so far really except except um except with the uh the the caring about the

00:47:48.900 stupid crowd size crowd size and spicer going out and and actually other than lying and picking a

00:47:55.620 fight other than that plus i i'm disgusted with spicer as a pick for the white house press secretary i

00:48:01.700 think he's sucks so far uh yeah i think he's really bad but anybody who is i will tell you in his 0.84

00:48:08.820 favor that position it's tough because we didn't like gibbs we didn't like earnest yeah we didn't

00:48:13.940 like uh in his defense in his defense any man who takes the strong position that he does against

00:48:21.380 dip and dots is a good man it's an interesting because i mean that is probably the best part about

00:48:26.500 him so far now you may not know but he has taken a strong stand well now wait a minute i gotta

00:48:32.980 reevaluate yeah he says dip and dots is not the ice cream of the future and i happen to agree with

00:48:39.140 him oh me too that's like a smart man that's like a jetson's future that's an alternative universe

00:48:44.660 future where dip into i've i don't believe i've ever had dip and dots they've been the future of ice

00:48:50.580 cream since 1970 yeah they're not they're not it's not actually even the future is here and they're not

00:48:56.500 it the story from the av club lines out that what the the the lines of this battle uh the his first

00:49:02.900 briefing served as a trial by fire for spicer himself could he get through the entire five

00:49:06.820 minute speech to the press without slipping into an attack on his arch enemy dip and dots

00:49:11.300 the ice cream of the future as social media detectives have quickly discovered spicer has

00:49:15.940 been waging a quiet one-sided twitter feud with a flash frozen spherical treat it started in 2010

00:49:21.780 when spicer still a year out from taking his uh previous post as communications director for the

00:49:26.340 rnc tweeted out dip and dots is not capital letters the ice cream of the future amen a blatantly

00:49:33.380 incendiary claim that flew in the face of the company's long cherished slogan

00:49:38.580 it's not clear what provokes spicer's attack a bad trip to the zoo maybe or perhaps uh six flags

00:49:44.260 but it was still sticking to the his craw sticking in his craw a year later which i think pat had

00:49:48.580 surgically removed yes um when he doubled down on the bold claim i think i've said this before but

00:49:53.780 dip and dots are not the ice cream of the future dip and dots the self-described ice cream of the

00:49:59.220 future filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after fighting off foreclosure efforts by regions

00:50:03.940 bank for more than a year it is to spicer's credit though that he didn't content himself with mere

00:50:08.900 opinions on the matter of dip and dots versus the future and where would gorsuch stand on that one we

00:50:15.700 don't know a month later he supplied evidence linking to the wall street journal article about

00:50:19.860 the company's financial woes his foe apparently is slain spicer laid down his sword and got back to

00:50:26.260 much more important work of attacking barack obama for every conceivable thing he ever did and more

00:50:31.380 time there was peace but then dip and dots wandered foolishly back into spicer's crosshairs in 2015

00:50:37.140 by failing to ship enough vanilla flavored ice cream to a washington nationals game that he was at

00:50:43.140 within moments the old fires were raging again if dip and dots was truly the ice cream of the future

00:50:47.860 they would have they would not have run out of vanilla at the nationals game okay i've completely

00:50:52.340 turned around on this guy i love this guy i love this guy anybody who has a war against dip and

00:50:58.100 dots i'm in that is actually really funny yeah it makes me forget all the things like

00:51:04.980 you're lying to the press by the way has responded and they have they yes they finally have realized that

00:51:10.980 and they said uh um they want to be friends with uh mr spicer well i have never had dipping dots

00:51:17.380 before have you ever had it no i have uh i will say the weirdest i mean you know it tastes sorry i

00:51:22.500 mean it's not it's not you know i don't think it is the ice cream of the future first of all i would

00:51:26.100 agree um i have the worst part about it is and it's funny where i had this was at the zoo because my

00:51:30.900 kids wanted something at the zoo we were at the zoo and and uh the worst part about it is especially in

00:51:35.700 texas heat when it melts you realize you should not have eaten it it like turns into this weird like

00:51:42.180 brown liquid when it melts really it just is not well kind of like a milkshake no no like

00:51:49.540 no really no no that was one of the most stern knows like that was a warning stop it like no don't

00:51:57.700 demean this right um no it was more like a toxic like a toxic river like it's it's it's much more

00:52:04.740 liquidy it's not like cream because it's the ice cream of the future it's made out of something

00:52:08.740 else i don't know but it comes it looks like something that spills out of your car okay

00:52:13.460 your garage is parked there so i so i've never i've never had them because they always look to me

00:52:19.780 like those little styrofoam bb's that you get and i'm like i don't want yeah i just i don't want

00:52:26.260 that and i like the creaminess yeah right yeah i can believe that you've never had them since they

00:52:31.060 usually just sell at you know sporting events at ballparks yeah but uh and zoos and zoos yeah

00:52:39.940 yeah it's not not my favorite treat i would say i mean of course i've i would eat them because you

00:52:44.660 know i'm fat so if dip and dot sent us a case of dip and dots to try oh i would do it absolutely yes

00:52:54.820 because i'm weak and pathetic but yes it's a way i would say the future does not seem to be defined

00:52:59.540 by dip and dots as a general statement i think we can agree on that i think we can i i i stand by

00:56:32.240 did i ever finish that go around the room and you and pat answered it i believe and then we kind of

00:56:36.960 got off on a tangent okay so i i'm i'm feeling pretty good except for those things how are you

00:56:43.440 feeling pretty good uh he's exceeded my expectations so far well you had no expectations you i don't know

00:56:49.840 why they need to point that out but i mean seriously there's been you know i think it's been a mixed

00:56:55.440 bag i i can't be i'm not thrilled i you know but uh i i'm i'm i'm thrilled with some of the things i

00:57:01.760 think what's interesting about trump um and watching him go through this is he is he's sort of a you know

00:57:09.440 jam your foot on the gas guy and when it connects with something you're you like he's amazing um for

00:57:17.840 example they so far on the epa and those related issues energy epa he's been i think very good he's

00:57:23.680 about to sign um he's about to open the keystone oil pipeline yeah um and and the dakota one as well

00:57:30.640 yeah um the ep his ep epa chief pick i think was very solid um he's been very good on those things

00:57:37.200 and because that's an issue i'm passionate about i really like it i'm also passionate about free trade

00:57:42.320 and i don't agree with him on that and his his stances there are going to be problematic for me

00:57:47.600 you know the flynn appointment is a disaster to me i mean it's really bad um and uh and that one i think

00:57:54.400 is is is really problematic but i would say overall you know speaking generally i think he's certainly

00:58:01.280 exceeded my expectations and i think a lot of the picks have been really good uh not just kind of good

00:58:07.200 not just okay well that's acceptable from a republican president actually beyond that because

00:58:12.720 he doesn't seem to care which is great however on the issues i don't agree with him on it's going to

00:58:18.400 be it's going to it's going to hurt a lot i think there's going to you know if we see this sort of

00:58:21.920 dynamic where there's really good things and really bad things um as long as the bad isn't too too bad

00:58:27.840 it's going to be better than i expected um and look i hope that's the case i hope it continues

00:58:34.000 one of the things we talked about yesterday on pat and stew is how stupid this protest was

00:58:40.560 by the left think about this you have a guy who who in the campaign asked for 680 billion dollars

00:58:47.040 for federal funding of maternity maternity leave he values his daughter ivanka seemingly more than any

00:58:54.640 person on the planet and trusts her judgment and embraces it so now you set up a dynamic instead

00:59:00.640 of working with him to try to get those things done which no other republican would do for you

00:59:05.120 you go out there and oppose him and just piss him off and the way trump seems to react to things like

00:59:10.240 that is oh you thought you're getting that no way he will step back and and build a wall around himself

00:59:16.400 and say screw you you're going to go out there and protest me with three million people screw you 0.76

00:59:20.000 you're never getting any of those things now that's a terrible tactic and but unless you're playing for

00:59:25.920 long-term discord the glenn beck program mercury the glenn beck program 888-727-beck welcome to the

00:59:40.000 program i guess we should i guess we should look um at the regulations and wrap up the uh obama

00:59:50.720 administration with a look at some of the craziest things that they did for instance removing he and

00:59:57.520 she from all regulations to avoid gender norms they actually took the time to do all that that's an 1.00

01:00:06.160 important step i know it was it was gender normandy um the department of transportation authorized pigs 1.00

01:00:13.520 to fly as emotional support animals in 2012. well that was good if you need it yeah right if you

01:00:22.240 have a pet pig that's right rules were intended to eliminate discrimination against disabled persons

01:00:28.000 when they fly and the official guidance okayed pot-bellied pigs weighing up to

01:00:36.000 300 pounds to come on the airplane with you well that's a pot-bellied pig 1.00

01:00:40.480 how comfortable are you ridiculous for a 400 pound pot-bellied pig yeah how comfortable are you with a 300

01:00:52.400 pound pig why are you looking at me uh let's see one major regulation from obamacare was adding calorie

01:01:05.200 requirements to menus and restaurants but defining what constitutes a menu was not easy the rules were

01:01:12.320 blasted as impossible to comply with and carried criminal penalties for not labeling food correctly

01:01:18.400 estimated cost the industry 1.7 billion dollars the regulation was so specific that it announced

01:01:25.600 that seasonal pumpkin spice muffins would have to be labeled but not crushed dried peppers which are

01:01:32.160 considered a condiment that is exempt definition for menu reached 171 words the definition

01:01:39.520 of a menu reached 171 words final regulation applied to things that are not on menus such as advertisements

01:01:48.000 and coupons and also um a thing having calories on menus has been shown in study after study that it

01:01:54.240 doesn't actually do anything in fact it does makes it worse the pat gray uh principle right is that it

01:02:00.080 actually makes people eat more show me two things of you know like equal desire and and one of them

01:02:07.200 has more calories than the other that's gotta be for the one with more calories that's gotta be better

01:02:10.640 right obviously more delicious yes it's a honestly i look at those menus and i'm i you know when it gets

01:02:17.680 around 1800 calories and i'm like okay i'm not gonna have that yeah there is some theoretical limit right

01:02:23.600 but yes but there are some that you're like oh i thought it was much more i thought it was much worse than that

01:02:30.000 and you end up having it yeah i mean only 700 calories oh i thought it was i thought it was

01:02:34.960 an easy 1200 i was at a restaurant i actually like that they're on the menus yeah i don't mind it i

01:02:40.400 just don't like that it's a federal regulation me too but i was at a restaurant the other day and i was

01:02:44.320 like i should get something healthy like a salad or something and i wanted to get a pizza and then i

01:02:49.040 looked at the calories on the menu and the salad was like 910 calories and the pizza was like 670

01:02:56.640 oh my gosh wait a minute salad was more than the pizza the salad was more than the pizza so i want

01:03:01.440 to go find that menu i'm gonna eat there every day right like i i the pizza you're going with it i

01:03:06.240 wanted the pizza and the calories on the menu convinced me i should get the pizza so obama's

01:03:11.360 regulation actually made me buy pizza my only problem with this really honestly is that it's mandated yes i

01:03:17.120 would like it if every restaurant did it on their own but it should not be a federal regulation it's

01:03:21.280 horrible another mandate um they mandated that businesses allow miniature horses as guide animals

01:03:29.280 thank god finally how long have we been pushing so the potbelly pig and and the miniature horse

01:03:37.440 well in new york or chicago or even dallas how many miniature horses do you see guiding

01:03:43.760 uh blind people around i mean i see it all the time i mean i see it all the time four times 0.96

01:03:48.880 yesterday so yesterday alone it was finalized the government included a provision that store owners

01:03:54.560 should let miniature horses in if they are used as guide animals yeah that that was the problem

01:04:00.800 obviously that was the problem people so you just use my guide horse get out come on you're gonna

01:04:07.520 have a guide horse in a in a in a grocery store how many guides

01:04:11.600 watch now wait a minute hang on just a second of course why not hold on hold on ponies and full

01:04:16.800 size horses are not covered in restaurants okay thank god but guide horses the miniature guide

01:04:21.920 horses are pony right wouldn't wouldn't yeah no a miniature shetland pony maybe but i don't think

01:04:29.680 a shetland pony would be are still horses they poop all over the no they're many horses

01:04:35.760 if a miniature horse has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of the

01:04:41.040 individual with a disability then that horse must be covered by the ada i will say that's incredible

01:04:47.600 i had no idea that this is actually i've never seen lots of pictures of it that's great uh the uh guide

01:04:52.800 horse foundation says there are quote thousands guide horse um which i don't know you know that's a

01:04:58.880 that's a pretty wide uh amount it could be 2000 i saw a heart lifting story about a lady that uh 1.00

01:05:04.640 uh couldn't survive without her guide guide horse and it was uh the horse travels with her everywhere

01:05:11.200 like on a plane on a plane uh driving in cabs and cars i mean it's it's good that there's regulations

01:05:17.920 to help her well the horse fits in a cab yeah it's a miniature little horse it's a small horse

01:05:22.560 it's not the lone ranger riding down the street it's still bigger than a big dog it's just a big

01:05:29.360 dog it's a dog yeah i would say it's about the size of a big dog size of a greyhound maybe here's

01:05:33.120 no no no greyhounds aren't that big but like a mastiff is as big as a mastiff i would say it's smaller

01:05:38.400 than a mastiff the size of it's pretty small i mean some of them are pretty small yeah wow they're only

01:05:44.320 that big yeah some of them are pretty darn small about the size of an average dog like you know a

01:05:48.480 golden retriever oh well then i don't have a problem yeah with the clippity

01:05:54.160 the clippity clop in the kitchen do you want some of the uh do you want some of the

01:05:59.040 of some of the benefits of having a guide horse sure yeah absolutely i do long long lifespan long

01:06:03.920 life they can live to be more than 50 years old you're kidding me so you don't have to

01:06:06.960 a horse yeah um you know dogs are only eight to twelve years yeah cost effective training a guide

01:06:12.880 dog can cost up to sixty thousand dollars yes they can as you would know dogs are smarter than horses

01:06:18.320 though only uh they're uh yeah i guess no that's not true i saw i saw a movie just the other day i

01:06:27.120 saw the magnificent seven the other day and denzel washington looked at the horse and said get out

01:06:32.320 of here and the horse did wow uh this is a horse though yeah based on obama's like uh legislation this

01:06:39.920 is interesting that uh that this is here because the one of the arguments for a guide horse is better

01:06:45.920 acceptance many guide dog users report problems getting access to public places because their

01:06:50.880 dog is perceived as a pet okay most people do not associate a horse as a pet and guide horse users

01:06:55.760 report that they are immediately recognized as a working service animal because you're not just

01:07:00.080 walking your head can i tell you something i walk into any place in i walk into an airport with a horse

01:07:05.680 i i i i i i i'm i'm kind of glad that i may be blind so i don't see people looking at me like what

01:07:15.520 the hell is going on here i don't think the first response of the concierge at a you know at the ritz

01:07:23.840 carlton is going to be saying um oh it's a guide horse i think he looks at you and says what the hell

01:07:30.800 are you doing with the horse in here and i think that happens at the ritz carlton or the holiday

01:07:34.720 inn yeah and maybe the holiday inn faster than the ritz carlton i will say one uh real benefit of

01:07:40.800 the guide horse appears to be that they wear sneakers uh that's pretty awesome so the clippity

01:07:47.760 clop is gone right i can't take the news of the day anymore miniature horses used as guide dogs

01:07:56.560 wearing sneakers wearing sneakers other guide animals they're not they're not pretending to be

01:08:01.520 a dog no yeah it's true that's an important distinction jeffy they are not pretending they're

01:08:05.920 not dressed as dogs they're not they're not horse no it's a dog they don't come from the dog side of

01:08:11.520 town this is they are horses they're not half breeds no no yeah okay okay all right uh excellent

01:08:20.880 vision great memory calm nature focused demeanor i want one of these uh safety conscious

01:08:27.200 high stamina and good manners they say please and thank you which is nice do they still

01:08:33.520 poop piles in the house uh guide horses are very clean and can be house broken

01:08:38.000 horses do not get fleas and only shed twice per year horses are not addicted to human affection and

01:08:42.320 will stand quietly while on duty that's sad it really is there's a train dog though

01:08:49.840 no service dogs are pretty good about that no not if you show them affection

01:08:56.320 they want your affection yeah like german shepherds they're you're that's your family

01:09:01.280 for whatever reason when you spoke german to your dog and said plots it plots did whenever

01:09:08.480 anyone speaks german to somebody in the right tone you do what they say

01:09:16.080 uh all right some of the other regulations regulating christmas lights

01:09:19.600 uh to extend their hand to christmas lights the consumer product safety commission regulated

01:09:24.800 uh that christmas decorations are a substantial product hazard if they didn't meet the government

01:09:31.200 standard for wire size uh the final rule applies to stars wreaths candles without shades light sculptures

01:09:39.360 blow molded plastic figures and animated figures but not any solar powered products

01:09:45.360 uh let's see uh navy inspected bathrooms for degrading images of women military is not exempt um under 1.00

01:09:54.960 orders from the then secretary of state or secretary of defense chuck hagel navy had to search sailors

01:10:00.800 workspaces to make sure they didn't have pinup calendars that could be degrading or offensive to women 0.99

01:10:06.160 no bathrooms were expected inspected for any unprofessional calendars um in 2014

01:10:19.920 in 2014 the obama administration uh regulated uh the methane emissions from the dairy industry

01:10:29.280 by 25 percent it had targeted cow flatulence uh california followed suit last year comparing 0.94

01:10:42.960 himself to noah from the bible governor jerry brown announced new regulations that regulate cow farts

01:10:49.920 that dramatically reduce methane emissions by 2030 are the cows abiding by this new regulation

01:10:56.560 i'm not i'm not really sure how how do you do that other than killing the cows i don't know

01:11:04.640 maybe what you feed them if you feed them certain things that wouldn't result and no pork

01:11:09.520 and beans for the cows right yeah i mean pretty much they're eating like alfalfa and hay they're

01:11:14.320 eating grass obviously pork but i mean what what are we feeding cows that give them the flatulence grain 0.89

01:11:20.640 right i don't know maybe i don't know what do they you don't feed them grain you you feed them

01:11:27.680 alfalfa and hay that's what they eat they have flat teeth so they diet alfalfa and hay i mean

01:11:35.440 locale gluten-free gluten-free yes they need a gluten right that solves all problems yeah and yeah

01:11:41.200 alfalfa zero and of course dairy-free as well here's our sponsor this half hour it's american financing

01:13:28.160 the glenn beck program mercury you're listening to the glenn beck program so um

01:13:40.080 um we need to get a miniature horse in here right a trained miniature horse one that's potty trained 0.85

01:13:48.320 uh yeah it's a service they're already trained they can lay down over there by the fireplace

01:13:53.760 or i don't think the horses lay down yeah something's wrong if they lay down right yeah

01:13:59.360 no yeah no i've seen horses lay down yeah not on their side they just kind of no something's

01:14:05.840 wrong with them when they lay down they don't normally yeah they sleep maybe that's why they

01:14:09.360 keep dying on me i think so

01:14:13.760 this is a lifetime goal to get a no i'm just curious maybe we can get a pot-bellied pig in 1.00

01:14:18.960 here too and get them all in here horse i i honestly would like to see a uh a miniature

01:14:25.040 horse guide dog or horse guide horse whatever they are pretty cool it would be would be somebody

01:14:31.360 who do they have the little blind they handle things on them so you know they must yeah a guy

01:14:38.320 i know has a has a pig as a pet um you know i live in texas no not a service animal just a pet

01:14:44.640 uh it's a pig and apparently uh good temperament uh very nice uh a little messy uh at least early

01:14:51.840 on in life it's a pig yes apparently the review is a little messy potentially getting into biting

01:14:58.160 furniture and things of that nature that's not a terrible surprise is it no no it didn't stun me

01:15:03.120 no it's the reason i don't have a pig right and they i mean like pig farms make dairy farms oh man

01:15:10.160 smell wonderful oh yeah how how bad is the pig stool smell you know i i didn't get into detail on

01:15:19.040 that with him um well i mean that's like that's where i go right off the bat i mean i you know

01:15:25.280 the horse would be cool but he's pooping in the house there was apparently a lot of that i will say

01:15:29.120 he didn't poop in the house i didn't notice i didn't actually get any of these there's you know

01:15:33.360 the levels of smell with him but he did say there was a lot of uh going in the house oh no i couldn't

01:15:39.360 do it no way no couldn't do it i mean i guess that was part of the problem right i i don't know why

01:15:45.840 you'd want to train but i guess a lot of people really got a house training it takes a little

01:15:50.080 time that's like you jeffy no i'm not it took a little time but once i got there stew well when

01:15:55.760 you get there i mean i will tell you that we used to have a bunny rabbit when i was a kid and we

01:15:59.520 house trained the bunny rabbit i don't know how we did it but we house trained the bunny rabbit

01:16:03.440 and i used to love having a little it's a little bunny hopping around but there's a difference between

01:16:07.120 a bunny and a pig i a bunny is kind of like okay that's kind of cute the pig is like you're living

01:16:14.240 with a pig running around the house

01:16:51.680 welcome to the glenbeck program today i want to talk to you uh a little bit about something that i

01:16:58.160 witnessed this weekend that i thought was profound and and something that isn't said near enough

01:17:06.480 we'll get to that also um more on what has been happening with the regulations and the supreme

01:17:15.280 court nominee which apparently donald trump is going to talk uh to congress about today or some

01:17:21.760 of the leaders mitch mcconnell uh in the capitol we could have an announcement coming very very soon

01:17:27.920 and if it is the guy we spoke about last hour this is good news uh for conservatives how that works

01:17:36.000 as he goes through congress we'll see we begin there right now

01:17:44.320 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program

01:18:06.720 i want to talk to you about something um that i saw over the weekend um at a funeral that i attended

01:18:21.920 it was pat's mother-in-law who passed away and my friend of 30 years got up to speak

01:18:32.320 and i don't think i've ever seen him like that um he had a hard time talking about her because of the amount of love

01:18:48.640 that he has for her and i i thought you know here's something that is never said

01:19:04.240 and it bothers me

01:19:08.800 i love my mother-in-law and pat loved his mother-in-law

01:19:13.600 mother mother-in-law mother-in-laws get a really bad rap like stepmothers get a really bad rap 1.00

01:19:23.760 and i think it's just because of the mother-in-laws we love to laugh at like uh the mom on everybody loves raymond

01:19:34.240 but it's it's it's to me it's a lot like um the mother-in-law that or the the the way that fathers

01:19:46.080 are portrayed on the simpsons and it's something that should be corrected something that should be

01:19:52.240 said once in a while at least i mean we can all make our jokes and i'm sure there are bad mother-in-laws 1.00

01:19:58.400 just like there are bad stepmothers but there are also really good stepmothers 1.00

01:20:07.600 tanya

01:20:10.720 doesn't i don't think get the credit um that she deserves and i don't think you understand this

01:20:17.920 until your kids get older or until you go through it walking into somebody else's family

01:20:25.120 i don't think i could do it

01:20:29.760 maybe i could

01:20:33.760 but that's really hard especially with all the family dynamics that go on

01:20:42.480 pat said

01:20:43.040 he never called her mom because it just didn't feel right but she was that was closest to the way i

01:20:56.160 felt about her yeah but i already had a mom right so and i've never and i'm not condemning anyone for

01:21:03.760 this but i've never understood

01:21:10.000 when when my mom died and my dad remarried and i got my stepmother d who is

01:21:20.080 to put it mildly a horse of a different color

01:21:23.680 and uh and doesn't necessarily give stepmothers a good name 1.00

01:21:28.080 um i had a really hard time really hard time and i wasn't allowed to talk about my mom

01:21:37.840 after she died i moved in with my dad and we weren't allowed to even mention my mother

01:21:43.360 so we never talked about her after her death and it was really hard and um but as i got older and i was

01:21:52.160 in my 30s and i remarried myself i realized that she had been my mother good or bad for longer than my mother had

01:22:03.520 and the only reason why i wasn't calling her mom is because i already had one

01:22:11.760 but i don't think moms are just the ones who give birth to you moms are my mother-in-law is my mom

01:22:23.200 my father-in-law is my dad and i love it i know how much i love being called dad by my kids

01:22:32.640 and when my son-in-law sometimes calls me dad i love it

01:22:45.520 i wonder if sometimes we're a bit too stingy with mom and dad

01:22:52.720 because the way pat spoke about his mother-in-law the in-law part

01:23:03.200 what's that saying is there's a contract that makes her my mother

01:23:07.600 and she was far beyond a contract a legal contract

01:23:17.520 maybe it's just me but i sitting there

01:23:23.520 i looked at my daughter

01:23:24.560 as jackie was giving the tribute to her mom and i looked at my daughter and i thought

01:23:35.920 someday you're going to have to do this to your mom and how hard that's going to be

01:23:45.120 and then i thought i may have to do this for my mother-in-law or my father-in-law someday if the

01:23:52.880 family would ask and how hard it would be just as hard if not harder

01:23:59.920 we never had a funeral for my dad we never had a memorial service for my dad

01:24:04.160 we had nothing i don't think that's good

01:24:07.920 was that part of his yeah wishes yeah really we have not been allowed to

01:24:13.520 wow participate in the mother-in-law has the ashes and

01:24:18.560 oh and um so nothing it was because of that situation yeah and it's it's it's weird

01:24:26.240 it's really weird and we all kind of have said to each other well you know we'll keep him in our

01:24:33.680 own way i don't know if that's healthy no i think the service is part of the healing process

01:24:39.840 i know so i sure got that feeling pat when i was watching you yeah didn't feel like i was healing at

01:24:50.400 the time but um uh you know i i didn't hold it together as well as jackie and her brother did um they

01:25:01.040 were pretty composed but yeah i think it is an important part because it gives you the opportunity

01:25:06.640 to talk about their lives to express how much you love them and uh to get all that out

01:25:16.000 i've never seen you like that important i've rarely been that way

01:25:22.000 she was she was really something she was one of the best people i knew i've ever known and so

01:25:30.000 you know like i said i i never heard her say a bad word about anybody even in jest

01:25:35.840 and until the week before she died five days before she died she said she had the whole family

01:25:48.320 was gathered in the room together we were just talking to her and kind of reminiscing and just

01:25:52.400 spending precious moments that she had left and my daughters were my two oldest well all three of my

01:26:00.160 daughters were there my two oldest are both pregnant and uh and my oldest daughter got up she's nine 0.99

01:26:07.840 months pregnant she just had the baby on sunday so she she got up and started walking out of the room 0.90

01:26:14.160 and my mother-in-law um said amber you look like a chicken bean she walked out of the room 1.00

01:26:28.240 might have been the drug the morphine it might have been the morphine it might have been the brain tumor

01:26:33.280 pushing down on some part right i don't know what a chicken nobody knows what a chicken bean is and i think

01:26:40.480 she meant something entirely different but it was really funny and we just shared this laugh together

01:26:46.880 and as amber walked out she looked at at all of us and just said i just called her a chicken bean 0.90

01:26:54.880 yeah you did yeah and none of us are really sure why but it was the meanest thing we ever heard her 0.68

01:27:00.000 say about anyone in her life and i don't even know what it means so uh i i think she meant something else

01:27:07.920 but it was fun and it was just a nice moment our our last really fun moment that we got to spend

01:27:14.640 with her so it was worth it no matter what she meant do you remember do you remember the listener

01:27:20.720 that we had renda renda who labor of love yeah she was on the program can you in fact wasn't she

01:27:28.240 the founder or one of the founders of labor of love no no but she was one she was an early member all

01:27:33.520 right of the i think i think she's i i don't know i think she's just one of the early members

01:27:40.480 um uh that has been really instrumental and she has been she's been on this program before

01:27:48.000 because she's just this super do-gooder that has done so much and so amazing with her life 0.96

01:27:56.000 here's a clip from when she was on with us and to tell me about it you were three weeks

01:28:00.080 three weeks i think that god wanted me to go on that trip to israel i was afraid of flying i went

01:28:06.480 totally by myself and i wasn't three weeks after your husband and not israel my husband was alive

01:28:12.240 when i went to israel okay and i um but we had planned and i had planned to go to joplin with my

01:28:18.640 with all my friends and then three weeks before joplin my husband died of a sudden heart attack

01:28:23.520 and um how long were you two married 16 years um he everybody thought i would just fall to pieces

01:28:31.520 because we were so incredibly close but we had made vows to to help each other get closer to god

01:28:36.960 when we got married and we did we did that and um the minute i saw him because i found him

01:28:44.480 was that how much i was going to miss him and um i called had my daughter-in-law call susan and say

01:28:50.800 that i couldn't come to joplin but as it turned out i was able to go because i couldn't just sit

01:28:56.960 by myself and feel sorry for myself and um the thing about it i tell everybody that god knew i

01:29:03.680 needed this group before i could ever even have imagined that i would need them and um the day

01:29:08.960 that i got to talk to pat both of us had lost incredibly she had lost her whole house and i had

01:29:15.360 lost you know my husband and um pat when we sat there and we just sat and were able to talk and

01:29:22.240 she reminded me of my mother who passed away when i was 18 years old and she was incredibly soft person

01:29:28.400 to talk to and um we connected and it healed both of us um just like um agios and how incredibly sad he

01:29:37.360 was at the beginning of your book and all of us are incredibly hurt like that yes we are but um that

01:29:46.960 has helped me heal rinda is a woman that was standing on the mall with many of us um on 828 she was a face 0.99

01:29:55.840 in the crowd and i didn't know her and then we met briefly in israel uh the next year when she was part

01:30:05.360 of the crowd um on 828 and she was part of red boss a and um joplin happened and she i think she

01:30:16.720 i think you're right pat that she was one of the co-founders um she went to joplin this is three weeks

01:30:25.600 after her husband died she went to joplin to help and she because she was listening and she thought i

01:30:31.440 can't just sit here and feel sorry for myself she went to restoring love and was deep in the volunteers

01:30:42.720 with labor of love and she went to uh restoring uh love or restoring um unity in birmingham and marched

01:30:52.800 with us a remarkable remarkable woman and one that time is kind of forgetting a woman who would make pie 0.84

01:31:03.200 in her dutch oven uh over the fire and would quilt i mean like artwork quilting a sweet dear woman who could 1.00

01:31:13.520 make you laugh until you cried who never tried to point herself out as perfect was always really truly

01:31:22.560 truly humble and kind and was looking to help others she's been battling cancer for quite some time

01:31:32.480 and lost her battle over the weekend and she has left a huge gaping hole in our audience

01:31:39.840 there have been two listeners that we have lost in the last three years that have impacted each of us

01:31:53.920 one of them actually moved down here to dallas with us

01:32:00.000 and we would see him once in a while but he just in his spirit when we would see him he was the happiest

01:32:15.520 happiest man we'd ever met he was a guy who was homeless up north

01:32:20.560 and rinda who when we first met was in a strange way timid never been anywhere like on an international

01:32:41.200 flight all by herself but full of courage and we watched her blossom and become a true leader

01:36:37.360 january 20th 2017 his inauguration day to be a national day of patriotic devotion trump made

01:36:43.040 the proclamation quote does that mean to him then kind of no listen to listen to the all right let's

01:36:50.800 hear the body of the work there in order to strengthen our bonds to each other in our country

01:36:54.960 and to renew the duties of government to the people okay new national pride stirs the american

01:37:00.400 soul and inspires the american heart we are one people united by a common destiny and shared purpose

01:37:07.520 can i ask when did nationalism be okay it can become okay it was november 7th right wasn't it

01:37:14.160 i know seriously when did i mean people write about this new nationalism i've always been we've always

01:37:19.040 been super patriotic yeah but we're not jingoistic yeah but we were never when somebody would say we

01:37:25.440 were a national when does patriotism become nationalism i i don't know i don't know where that line is

01:37:31.200 reason when you lose reason so i don't i don't i don't know but people are just throwing around that

01:37:37.440 we're a new nationalist country and i don't i don't like that that's not good

01:37:44.800 you're listening to the glenn beck program

01:37:46.880 mercury the glenn beck program

01:37:56.560 hello america and welcome to the glenn beck program we're glad you're here it is uh

01:38:02.160 uh uh uh it's day two of uh donald trump in office and it looks like we may have

01:38:11.280 a winner in the supreme court uh justice nominee the the word is from uh who is it from abc uh john

01:38:20.560 carl john carl that we we have a justice that they're ready to appoint and if it is indeed this

01:38:27.520 guy it's good news yeah neil gorsuch uh he is uh very much seemingly uh by everything i've read in

01:38:36.240 the mold of antonin scalia uh and not only to the point of the things he believes about the law but

01:38:41.440 also even in his writing style which you'd say who cares about that i just want to make the right

01:38:45.360 decisions but have you read scalia's opinions they're by far the most entertaining and interesting

01:38:51.840 ones that that were on the supreme court so i want somebody like that that can actually make

01:38:55.840 that stuff interesting because it's it can be a slog to get through at times uh he he's he was one

01:39:01.200 of the best so i you know everything i've read about him so far and it would dive deeper into it

01:39:06.400 today it seems to be that it would be a good choice and maybe better than some of the others on the list

01:39:12.080 so can we switch gears kind of is anybody ever going to sue a espn for being wrongfully terminated

01:39:19.600 i don't know it's a good question this this i don't know but they should this this latest thing

01:39:26.240 where who who was it that made the comment about venus williams uh adler yeah is his name adler yeah

01:39:32.880 and he's he's a tennis commentator former professional tennis player um from the 70s and 80s

01:39:39.600 uh he was on uh doing a venus williams match on espn 3 which we've i think decided yesterday was

01:39:46.240 the just the website yeah um so he's doing a website coverage of of uh venus williams it's

01:39:52.880 got to be heavily oh oh there had to be over eight people watching yes at the time over over

01:39:59.120 you're comfortable with over i am uh that's i'll take the under uh but uh so uh he he is doing it

01:40:06.640 you know venus williams what's tennis on an app are you telling me more than eight people aren't

01:40:10.960 going to that so so venus williams is a very aggressive player aggressive she's very aggressive 1.00

01:40:15.840 she plays in uh forever sometimes different different ways right uh asymmetrical would be 1.00

01:40:21.360 one way of putting that or or gorilla warfare the gorilla effect gorilla tactics yes okay as in

01:40:28.720 gorilla not the not the ape or the monkey or whatever gorilla g-o-r it's g-u-e yes r-r-i-l-l-a 0.67

01:40:38.960 so it's it's not it has nothing to do with gorillas so he described her aggressive style as a gorilla 0.95

01:40:46.240 effect meaning again not the animal but the tactic uh and people on social media got upset the eight

01:40:56.080 people or more that were watching the tennis match got upset and started tweeting about how could this

01:41:00.320 guy call her a gorilla oh my god which is a spanish word yeah what he used was a spanish word what they

01:41:07.120 thought she he meant was the animal right and in a racist way and there is a very different thing

01:41:12.640 these are two completely different words when we talk about gorilla style tactics we're not talking

01:41:19.600 about our armed forces who are all a bunch of gorillas or gorillas that are you know that wouldn't 0.90

01:41:26.480 even make sense dumb no it is gorilla is a spanish word which means asymmetric warfare which which you know

01:41:35.600 you know you've you've got you're playing by the rules these are guerrilla tactics we used to

01:41:43.440 nicaragua was it manawania yes where they used to talk about the gorillas the gorillas in in

01:41:49.440 nicaragua correct right and this is probably the word that we used because it became um politically

01:41:57.280 incorrect if i hear one person say to my kids one more time sit down on the floor crisscross applesauce i'm

01:42:04.000 gonna punch him in the face right it's indian style sit down crisscross applesauce shut up 1.00

01:42:10.720 crisscross you've never heard that i haven't heard that oh you say to a kid now that has been raised

01:42:15.760 in the public school you say sit down indian style they'll have no idea what you're talking about

01:42:19.920 you say to them sit down crisscross applesauce that's indian style what does applesauce have to

01:42:24.720 to do with it i think it just rhymes okay so it's spaghetti sauce you're right why isn't it

01:42:30.960 crisscross spaghetti sauce i have no idea it is in italy okay it is in it okay so anyway what what

01:42:37.680 was it that we called it wow because it wasn't guerrilla tactics back in um the revolutionary war

01:42:46.160 we fought like indians we used indian tactics and i bet you that at one point in american history it

01:42:54.960 was cool to say well you fought like the indians had had someone been watching on espn 3

01:43:03.040 and seen uh george washington or heard george washington say he would have been fired she's

01:43:08.320 playing tennis like an indian oh right what's important here though is that espn is not 0.94

01:43:13.840 saying they think he might have meant the animal gorilla they know they know what he said they

01:43:21.040 believe what he said and then they still went to him and made him apologize which he did then they

01:43:27.920 released a statement saying during an australian open on espn 3 doug adler should have been more

01:43:32.560 careful in his word selection he apologized and we have removed him from his remaining assignments

01:43:39.520 now this the story espn is the worst he is the worst what cowards this story from heat street says 0.63

01:43:46.720 he was fired i don't know if that means he was just fired from the this particular assignment or

01:43:51.920 or if he's actually gone 100 if they fired him completely from his job i mean that's just sheer

01:43:58.160 cowardice it's unbelievable pathetic what the hell he didn't even do anything wrong and because 0.95

01:44:03.280 and that's been the case in virtually every instance right like this that we've talked about

01:44:07.920 including chink in the army which the guy look at this chink in the armor didn't mean that look at

01:44:11.680 this they they're comparing it adler's faux pas echoes the 27 2007 controversy surrounding fame

01:44:17.920 radio commentator don imus who characterized the rutgers university women's basketball team as i'm

01:44:23.440 quoting the story rough girls and nappy headed hoes end quote that's nowhere near that that's not 0.52

01:44:30.640 are you kidding me nowhere near that gorilla tactics is talking about a a war tactic

01:44:37.600 generals talk about gorilla tactics it's not a slur it's a term and even it has nothing to do with

01:44:45.120 the animal it's like in chink in the armor even i i think is honestly because the chink in the armor 1.00

01:44:51.120 basically he said that about an asian basketball player if you remember so that is that first part

01:44:56.000 is a slur right so the point was he shouldn't have used the this phrase that because it because they

01:45:03.600 thought maybe he thought it applied to uh him in some racist way this one they're saying it's

01:45:08.960 actually he didn't even use the term yeah right they're not even saying he didn't chicken the

01:45:12.320 armor it's like something that sounded like we know he didn't mean that and we know that that's not

01:45:17.840 what he said we just want us we want to punish him because it's what people thought but because

01:45:24.800 there sounded like words we're gonna fire him that's insane it's not really what people thought

01:45:29.520 it's what a couple first what happens is somebody tweets it so how does one tweeter so how does fox

01:45:36.480 sports take i mean i've never seen a network so ready to be taken as espn espn has stuff so i mean if

01:45:45.280 you look it is if you look at the the psychographics of just twitter feeds of those people who said they were

01:45:53.120 for democrats and those people who said they were for republicans if you look at the twitter feeds

01:45:59.360 it's stunning how the left does not connect in the same way to sports like that you know if you

01:46:08.800 were on a twitter feed and you also liked the nfl the nba and everything else you were most likely a

01:46:15.120 republican and it was a big big divide big divide how does espn if that's true if that plays out

01:46:24.800 across everything how does espn survive because you would think the people

01:46:31.360 watching would be the least likely to be politically correct yeah i mean i think they did a good job for

01:46:37.440 for a really long time and is slowly not you know drastically like it's not moment to moment it's

01:46:43.120 very slow progress here and it's gotten really bad and i think you know fox sports one for example has

01:46:48.000 been taking a lot of their personalities particularly the outspoken ones because espn is constantly

01:46:53.440 folding every time there's a controversy that's why you can't that's why disney cannot own anything

01:46:57.600 other than the movies and the parks can't they're they own abc which causes them to be absolute cowards

01:47:06.000 we know for a fact that that's why i was hired by abc i never made it on the air after the press

01:47:11.120 announcement right remember yeah and that was because they went and they pressured the parks

01:47:17.200 and the same thing you know is happening here somebody just has to say we'll boycott disney

01:47:21.440 you can't hurt the parks don't hurt the mouse you can't have that situation and expect people to be

01:47:31.920 in reality at all they're living in fantasy land i mean that is it's one of the most unbelievable

01:47:38.320 stories it's almost as if it's a parody so i ask you why can't he sue them i don't know i i mean he

01:47:44.480 apologized which is probably would not be in his favor right um but of course he was probably trying to

01:47:49.520 keep his job and and you know arrangements alive where else are you going i mean you know i guess

01:47:54.880 you go tennis channel maybe but you're gonna get hired after this i mean i don't know it's shame on

01:47:59.440 venus williams yes yes thank you the other thing that's the other part of that she stayed out of it

01:48:05.120 she said i i never comment on this kind of stuff well maybe you should well you should you should

01:48:10.160 you should you know the guy wasn't doing that he didn't do that you know he didn't do it you should

01:48:14.880 step out and say espn is being ridiculous hire this guy back he didn't say anything racist he

01:48:20.000 didn't do anything wrong you can't fire a guy because people on twitter heard another word than

01:48:26.000 the one he said that is insanity how do you speak to people who aren't listening how do you program to

01:48:33.360 people who are not intelligent how do you program to people who will hear what they want to hear

01:48:42.160 complain because they're not intelligent enough to know the difference between the two

01:48:47.760 and then not open enough to when hearing the truth to say oh i'm sorry i was wrong ask msnbc how you do

01:48:56.720 all that uh they're the experts i will say that the only person who can write that wrong is venus

01:49:02.000 williams she needs to be able to stand up and say come on espn she needs to be the one it's really that's 1.00

01:49:07.360 sad that she didn't do that really bad really the only person i've ever seen in that situation

01:49:12.560 actually do something like that was tiger woods and this is a many years ago but the same type of

01:49:17.760 thing happened where a commentator said something controversial and it was much more clear that it

01:49:24.960 had some racist over undertones at least um it's like a fried chicken comment something like that

01:49:30.880 and he came out and he said you know what i i know i know them it's not that big of a deal i know
