00:00:23.100 police or a newspaper in Arizona writes a story defending illegal immigrants. All that coming up, 0.55

00:01:55.360 Happy New Year from the Glenn Beck program. I'm Mike Broomhead in one more day for Glenn.

00:01:59.500 You know, whole show just changed. I was going to talk about illegal immigration, 0.76

00:02:02.260 but big news, big, big, big news just reported. Elizabeth Warren announces her 2020 presidential

00:02:07.620 bid. OK, so let's on to the other news. Elizabeth Warren now in the race. This is terrific. She's

00:02:15.140 cleared up the whole controversy about the Native American blood coursing through her veins. And now

00:02:19.940 we're on to bigger and better things as she thinks that she will be the nominee for the Democrats for 0.99

00:02:25.180 president. Elizabeth Warren announcing her presidential bid in 2020. The Democrats believe,

00:02:32.940 as many did, many people believed that you could just prop up any candidate against George W. Bush back

00:02:39.860 in 04. And they did. They said, you know, a ham sandwich could beat George W. Bush then. And maybe

00:02:46.060 that's true. But John Kerry couldn't, which proves what I've always thought. John Kerry's not as smart

00:02:51.520 or likable as a ham sandwich. So Elizabeth Warren believes she's the one that's going to beat this

00:02:56.320 president because in the minds of the people on that side of the aisle, everybody in the country

00:03:01.320 hates Donald Trump. Now, his popularity doesn't say that. And he does some things that bug me like

00:03:07.660 they bug everyone else. And the media is in full force against him, which I'm not. You know,

00:03:13.840 criticism is fair of anyone. Everybody makes mistakes and not everything. Not everything that

00:03:20.860 he does is something that I like, but I'm not a hater of anybody. But so we'll see. Elizabeth Warren now

00:03:27.840 in. I can't wait for the statements to come forward. If she ends up being the nominee for 0.66

00:03:31.280 the Democrats, oh, it's going to be a fun election year in 2020 and the time leading up to it.

00:03:36.880 But let's get to the big issues. Right now, the shutdown continues. And we've got some details on

00:03:41.280 this shutdown, how it compares with every other shutdown that's happened, how long they've lasted,

00:03:45.700 who was to blame, all of those things. We'll go back. You know, during the Clinton administration,

00:03:49.780 there was a shutdown because he was at odds with Newt Gingrich over financing and funding.

00:03:53.900 Right. So that part of it and what that means is the president has frozen wages for federal workers.

00:04:01.700 But it's because of the fight over border security. I don't know of anyone who believes,

00:04:08.760 well, I shouldn't say that. I don't know of anyone who realistically believes that the border is secure.

00:04:14.480 Story written about a man who entered the United States through the Arizona border. When I saw that,

00:04:21.420 the cop killer in California, DUI arrests. It really is a sad story because ironically,

00:04:29.140 the cop that was murdered was a legal immigrant to the United States. So it adds to the irony of

00:04:36.120 this story, but it also adds to the distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Not every

00:04:42.140 illegal immigrant is a murderer. I understand that. Not every illegal immigrant is a criminal.

00:04:48.240 And what I mean by that is they break the law by coming, but they're not coming here to commit

00:04:52.160 other crimes. But the fact is, some are. That's why you build walls. That's why you have border

00:05:00.620 protection. That's why you do those things. You know, stores and businesses install security cameras.

00:05:08.240 Not everyone that walks into a store is a shoplifter, but they have something called loss prevention at

00:05:13.720 shopping centers and malls and retail stores have some loss prevention officers are undercover

00:05:19.860 plainclothes employees who monitor by camera and walking the stores looking for people that would

00:05:26.240 steal. That doesn't mean because they do that. Everyone is a thief, but it's there to weed out who

00:05:31.680 the thieves are. We need a better process, a much better process. Now, I made a promise and I'm going to

00:05:41.560 get to it in a few moments. I made a promise to everyone and I'm going to put the link up on

00:05:46.880 social media this morning to my blog on my show in Arizona. I have got I will I will get it directly

00:05:53.980 to the three videos of Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and of Chuck Schumer and what they all have said in

00:06:03.340 the past about illegal immigration. It's a great reminder for everyone. At one time, you would think

00:06:08.480 this would be an absolute no brainer what to do with the people that are in the country illegally 1.00

00:06:12.980 now. That's a political argument. That's something we have to decide as a nation. That's what

00:06:18.280 legislators should be doing is deciding what do we do with the millions of people that have either

00:06:22.900 overstayed visas or entered the country illegally. That's a great political argument. But the border 0.54

00:06:29.500 security part of this shouldn't be. I want to just I want you to hear I'm going to read to you

00:06:35.980 what the sheriff said. Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christensen said that Arriaga, who is the

00:06:45.960 killer, the cop killer, entered illegally through Arizona, which breaks my heart. I live in Arizona.

00:06:52.780 I've been in Arizona for almost 24 years and I love Arizona. It's home for me now.

00:06:58.740 And it's a great place. If you've never been, you should visit. It is a beautiful state with really,

00:07:04.160 really good, hardworking people, salt of the earth people welcoming that we don't have the big fights

00:07:09.720 in Arizona, the media claims we do. But it breaks my heart to see that the example that I've been

00:07:17.180 giving from firsthand knowledge to everyone I can talk to, whether on my show or on this one

00:07:21.600 about the need for better border security is the fact that a few years ago, this guy entered the

00:07:27.660 country illegally through my state. The drugs that are coming through, the criminals that are coming

00:07:35.040 through because it is not a secure border. So this doesn't do my heart any good to say I told you so

00:07:41.460 here. But we've been telling you and others have been telling you for a long time, if you if you're not

00:07:49.360 in a border state and you're curious as to what it's really like, these are the things that are

00:07:53.640 happening. Phoenix and the metro area, we call it the valley in Arizona, has drop houses in

00:08:01.700 neighborhoods and suburban neighborhoods where you might live, where I definitely where I live,

00:08:07.260 where they've busted what they call drop houses, where they bring people across the border illegally.

00:08:12.360 They're brought in by the coyotes and then they're put in a house, sometimes 30 or 40 people in a

00:08:16.740 three bedroom house, and they're held there many times for ransom. So family members that pay to have

00:08:22.100 them brought to the states, then they house them and they threatened either the family's lives,

00:08:27.260 their lives or taking them back or or, you know, getting them deported if the family doesn't pay

00:08:33.740 more money. And these drop houses have been found in suburban neighborhoods, just, you know, regular

00:08:38.380 average neighborhoods. The least of the problems when you look at this and this guy was came into this

00:08:43.460 country illegally. And then he gets DUI arrests and then he kills a cop. So this is what the sheriff

00:08:51.440 had to say. Because I want the nation to know, I want your viewers to know that Officer Singh really

00:08:56.820 should be the focus of this investigation and his sacrifice. But I also want everybody to know that

00:09:01.700 immigration is good for America if done legally. Illegal immigration doesn't serve our communities, 0.88

00:09:08.140 especially criminals who victimize and exploit our communities. He said this on Fox.

00:09:14.880 Whether you hate the president or love the president, border security goes hand in hand with

00:09:19.860 national security, the safety of our communities and public safety. We need to know who is in our

00:09:25.360 communities that shouldn't be. We should be focusing on criminal activity without political

00:09:30.800 interference. He went on to say we are prohibited. Law enforcement was prohibited because of

00:09:37.860 sanctuary laws that led to the encounter with officer Singh. The outcome could have been different

00:09:43.480 if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited or had their hands tied because of political

00:09:49.560 interference. The media has downplayed the legal status, the immigration status of this killer,

00:09:57.500 because it doesn't fit with a narrative that you're being sold. The traditional media in America

00:10:03.160 is doing a disservice to this country because of their hatred for one thing, President Trump.

00:10:07.860 I don't know if it's President Trump, the man or the fact that he beat Hillary Clinton or the way

00:10:13.460 he won or what happens, his brash behavior, whatever it is, they still have a job to do and they are,

00:10:21.420 they are not doing their job. The job of the traditional media is to tell, you know, both sides of the

00:10:28.920 story to make sure that they don't weight things one way or the other. The narrative is illegal immigrants

00:10:35.380 are just, especially right now, are people seeking asylum from war-torn countries.

00:10:42.060 Before I let you hear from Clinton, Obama and Schumer and their views on illegal immigration in the past

00:10:47.900 before they flip-flopped, let me just point something out to you. There is the newspaper of record in Arizona

00:10:56.100 is the Arizona Republic. And there is a reporter, this, in this case, Brie Burkett, I don't know who she is,

00:11:03.300 that wrote a story about the fact that this man, this cop killer, came in through Arizona several years ago.

00:11:14.520 She quotes the sheriff, as I just told you about. His name is Gustavo Perez Arriaga. He's 32 years old.

00:11:21.860 What's fascinating about this story is she said, Arriaga is being held. I want you to, I want to hear

00:11:29.580 that you to hear the words that she writes. And then you ask yourself the question of why is this

00:11:35.680 necessary? He's being held without bail. Five other people, including his brother, a co-worker,

00:11:42.920 and someone listed as his girlfriend were all arrested for false information to police officers

00:11:48.800 while they were trying to find him. Then she notes that Singh immigrated to the U.S. from Fiji.

00:11:55.200 He joined the, he joins the 12 officer police force in 2011. He was the first officer to be killed in

00:12:01.580 the line of duty in that department's history. He left behind a wife and a five-month-old son.

00:12:06.880 So far, a very appropriate story.

00:12:11.120 Then it's almost parenthetical. It's almost a parentheses here. She decides to throw this

00:12:18.380 into the story. Despite calls for tougher border security, the recent surge in undocumented

00:12:24.700 migrants coincided with a decrease in violent crimes. A 2017 report from the Sentencing Project,

00:12:33.220 a self-described progressive group, found that both legal residents and illegal residents of the

00:12:38.860 United States commit crimes less often than native-born citizens. Stories about undocumented 0.99

00:12:45.040 immigrants accused of committing violent crimes frequently garner national attention.

00:12:50.720 So you see, it doesn't matter that this man came into the country illegally a couple of years ago.

00:12:59.060 It doesn't matter that he's had a couple of DUIs and because of the sanctuary laws in California

00:13:04.560 was never reported for deportation. It doesn't matter that he murdered a legal immigrant who 0.74

00:13:11.480 turned out to be a police officer with a five-month-old son and a wife. What matters is that you're reminded

00:13:17.400 that this is an anomaly and that crime is less when it comes to illegal immigrants. You tell me why that 1.00

00:13:24.960 belongs in this story. It belongs in this story to further their narrative that we have to report on

00:13:30.920 this, but it's an anomaly. And it's shameful. In a moment, as I promised, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama,

00:13:39.260 Chuck Schumer, what they have said about illegal immigration. That's coming up in just a moment.

00:13:44.660 My name is Mike Broomhead. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:48.560 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:13:50.700 Not everybody agrees with me, but even though Bitcoin is down significantly right now, I believe

00:13:55.440 in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's behind them. They're going to play a significant

00:14:00.100 role in our future. And while it may end up in the end being crazy, I'm actually investing more

00:14:05.200 in Bitcoin. It just makes sense that a trackable digital form of money will replace fiat money one

00:14:11.440 day, doesn't it? It's important that you understand these and ask these questions and find the answers

00:14:16.000 because you have a chance right now to invest in this technology before it happens. And if I'm right,

00:14:21.260 and I could be wrong, you could make game-changing money from a very small investment. But I want you to

00:14:26.480 do your own homework and begin with Wall Street hedge fund manager, Tika Tiwari. He's an expert

00:14:31.440 in the cryptocurrency space. He's created a course that takes you through all of the basics and makes

00:14:36.300 buying or selling of crypto as simple as buying and selling stock. For a limited time, you can take

00:14:41.480 a risk-free 30-day trial of his course by going to smartcryptocourse.com. Do it today,

00:14:46.320 smartcryptocourse.com, or call 877-PBL-BECK.

00:14:55.140 Hey, thanks again for being here. I'm Mike Broomhead from Phoenix, Arizona, in for Glenn Beck. One more

00:14:59.420 day. Happy New Year to you. Hope you got great plans for tonight. Be safe, of course. Now let's get to

00:15:04.760 it. I've been promising this. I will put it up on social media. For those of you that want it that

00:15:08.660 are following me, if you're a social media user on Twitter, I am at Broomhead Show, at Broomhead Show.

00:15:14.780 And then on Facebook, the Mike Broomhead Show fan page, if you want to follow me there,

00:15:19.500 I will put the link directly to these three videos. I have them on my personal blog at the

00:15:23.740 radio station. I would love for you to share them with your friends. Let's start with Bill Clinton

00:15:28.620 going back to the 90s, State of the Union address. Now you picture President Trump's voice. This was

00:15:34.600 what Bill Clinton said, not only about illegal immigration, but his demands to Congress and what

00:15:39.780 needed to happen. All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place

00:15:45.640 in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. 1.00

00:15:52.820 The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service 0.95

00:15:57.740 they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to

00:16:03.440 secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal

00:16:09.380 aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal 0.93

00:16:15.860 aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of 0.71

00:16:21.620 illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the work face

00:16:26.480 as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of

00:16:32.760 immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation 1.00

00:16:40.360 of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, 0.93

00:16:45.480 and we must do more to stop it.

00:16:48.440 I had no idea that Bill Clinton was such a racist. I had no idea what a xenophobic racist Bill Clinton was. 0.92

00:17:07.160 No clue. We must do more. We are a nation of immigrants, but amazing, amazing.

00:17:20.240 This is your focus should be on the traditional media in America, the lack of candor, the lack of work,

00:17:29.200 the laziness and intentional disregard for any of this. If this were the other way around,

00:17:37.740 if the Republican Party en masse and the most prominent names of the Republican Party shifted

00:17:44.180 in any view on something like this, it would be the headline. Where are the Republicans now?

00:17:52.700 If what you're going to hear in a few moments of Chuck Schumer, I'll get to that in a few moments,

00:17:56.520 or Barack Obama. You're going to hear that next. If it were Lindsey Graham or Mitch McConnell

00:18:04.160 that flipped 180 degrees, they would be showing that video every time they talked about illegal

00:18:10.520 immigration. Now, we are hearing about two children that died in custody of the U.S. Terrible.

00:18:19.200 Blame Donald Trump. Every chance they get, talk about dying children, dying children, dying children.

00:18:24.120 Well, if you want to use the analogy of the left, it's two children out of tens of thousands

00:18:31.880 that are in custody, just like it's one cop. It's only one cop. This is an anomaly. As a matter of fact,

00:18:41.120 crime has gone down since this influx of illegal immigrants. Isn't that amazing, the narrative? 1.00

00:18:46.720 Let's continue. This was when Barack Obama was Senator Obama before he became President Obama.

00:18:56.040 You want to hear what a xenophobe Barack Obama is? Listen to this.

00:19:00.560 We all agree on the need to better secure the border and to punish employers who choose to hire

00:19:07.720 illegal immigrants. You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States,

00:19:12.980 but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law 0.99

00:19:18.400 and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people

00:19:27.200 to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people

00:19:35.620 who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.

00:19:43.040 Amazing. Absolutely amazing. Picture Donald Trump's voice saying that, what they would call him for

00:19:49.760 uttering those exact words. Last but not least, current leader for the Democrats in the United States

00:19:56.900 Senate. This was 2009. Just a small piece of what Chuck Schumer had to say about illegal immigrants.

00:20:03.820 When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that

00:20:10.760 their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people

00:20:16.520 overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it. I think it is

00:20:22.240 illegal and wrong. Amazing. This is one of the people blocking the 60 votes necessary in the Senate

00:20:32.020 because we have to get some Democrats on board. Isn't it fascinating?

00:20:40.020 I just had a battle on social media with someone saying it's President Trump's fault because the

00:20:44.780 Republicans have the majority. So this person either had no idea that it takes 60 votes in the Senate

00:20:49.380 or they're ignoring it on purpose. You want to get something done in immigration, Congress makes the

00:20:54.120 laws. Chuck Schumer has got to get with the Democrats and get the 60 votes necessary so that

00:20:58.780 something can get done on the very topic that he said in 2009 was that important. He wouldn't even

00:21:04.340 use the phrase undocumented. He said it sends the wrong message to the American people. I'll call them

00:21:11.000 out again. Where's Morning Joe? Where's the other cable news networks playing that audio for Chuck

00:21:17.800 Schumer and asked him, why the flip flop, Chuck? Why not get something done?

00:21:21.260 Coming up, Lindsey Graham floats a deal that might just change all of this. I'll tell you what that

00:21:29.940 is coming up. I'm Mike Broomhead. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:22:57.360 Happy New Year from the Glenn Beck program. My name is Mike Broomhead. And one more day as we finish out

00:23:02.020 the year. Lindsey Graham had lunch with the president, suggested a new deal in which the president would

00:23:09.060 renew 700,000 work permits in exchange for $5 billion for the border wall. This deal that

00:23:17.160 Graham proposed is based that Trump would win the court case currently working its way through the

00:23:21.620 system about the legality of the administration's decision to cancel DACA or the DREAM Act, which

00:23:29.000 again, the assumption being when it gets to the highest court in the land, if President Obama can

00:23:33.260 enact something with an executive order, then President Trump can rescind that action with another

00:23:38.180 executive order, believing that that would work. That's the basis of this deal. And it's funny

00:23:46.280 that Lindsey Graham, I think Lindsey Graham has shown his finest hour in defending the president on a

00:23:50.860 number of these things. He has shown himself to have a backbone, which is something people question.

00:23:57.080 And I don't mean that with any disrespect whatsoever. People questioned. And he has come out stronger now

00:24:02.540 than ever before on this issue. And he's the one that seems to be working on this. Again, I'm going to

00:24:11.000 continue and I hope you'll bear with me on this to hammer the media and the way they handle these

00:24:15.880 things. Nancy Pelosi has been staying in an $800 a night resort during the shutdown. That's tone deaf, 0.97

00:24:22.140 right? If the other way around, if President Trump were at an $800 a night resort right now or one of his

00:24:28.560 posh hotels or resorts, they would be calling him tone deaf on this issue. Food stamps are about to

00:24:34.900 run out for families and you're staying at these resorts. A member of Congress from Arizona who I

00:24:42.940 think is doing a fine job, her name is Debbie Lesko, tweeted out yesterday saying, my bags are packed.

00:24:48.700 I am ready to go back to D.C. on a moment's notice as soon as the Democrats say they're ready to come

00:24:53.460 back to the negotiating table. Where is the media talking about how tone deaf they are on the left

00:24:58.800 on these issues? Lindsey Graham meeting with the president trying to broker a deal. 1.00

00:25:03.660 The Republicans trying to do something about this and yet they're being blamed

00:25:07.400 for the shutdown. Well, the president said he'll take the blame for the shutdown, but now where is

00:25:16.740 where is the other side of this? So the Dream Act was a joke to begin with. It's not law because

00:25:29.520 the president can't enact the law. As a matter of fact, Barack Obama was slapped down twice by the

00:25:35.400 Supreme Court with work permits and the things they were doing with the expansion of powers from the 0.68

00:25:39.020 executive branch on this issue. The original plan by Donald Trump in this Dream Act was going to

00:25:44.580 two and a half double, more than double, two and a half times as many people would be protected

00:25:48.720 under the plan the president wanted that the Democrats thwarted. I'm just saying this in

00:25:56.740 fairness. Donald Trump said that the Congress had six months to fix the Dream Act and then it was going

00:26:03.620 away. And instead of working to get something done, the Democrats found a federal judge to block

00:26:11.720 this, making its way. Now it has to make its way through the courts to ultimately get to the

00:26:17.940 Supreme Court to be ruled upon. So instead of doing something about this, then the president was going

00:26:25.440 to expand protection for people that fell under the Dream Act by two and a half times what our former

00:26:34.220 president protected. But he wanted the concessions of border security and a revamping of our of our

00:26:43.380 immigration system. No more chain migration. It should all be done. And also no more of the lottery 0.99

00:26:49.640 visa lotteries that it should all be done based on merit. And he didn't get his way because the Democrats

00:26:58.360 went to court and blocked it. So the political left is winning in the court of the media, but not in

00:27:05.820 public opinion on this. So Lindsey Graham said, you make sure that you renew this and we'll fight to

00:27:13.720 get the $5 billion for the wall. That would be a compromise by both people. I'll go a step further.

00:27:23.020 I just had a conversation with some people yesterday. I've mentioned I'm in Florida. I'm

00:27:29.280 visiting my hometown for the holidays. And I live in Arizona, which is a border state. I've been around

00:27:38.720 people that have been in this country illegally before. The attitude of America has justifiably 0.99

00:27:44.220 shift. The border has changed. And the American people do not harbor ill will against immigrants

00:27:53.380 largely. There have been people that have complained about immigration. And you watch

00:28:00.020 how every generation of immigrant was going to be a disaster and the end of our society. And it's 1.00

00:28:07.180 never really worked out that way. Immigrants to our country have always ended up in one generation 1.00

00:28:13.120 being a benefit. Go as far back, you know, as you know, when the Irish came here, Irish Catholics

00:28:22.260 need not apply signs in windows. You know, it didn't matter who it was. They were going to be the end of

00:28:27.040 our society in the minds of some. But most Americans with legal immigration believe it's good for our

00:28:33.980 society. Somehow in the last 10 years, when this shift from the Democrats happened on their position on

00:28:41.940 illegal immigration, we have clouded the waters to the level now where everyone is called a migrant.

00:28:47.380 There's no such thing as illegal immigration anymore. They're all just migrants. 1.00

00:28:51.420 But the president wanted a solution for this. And I just had a conversation about this issue. I

00:29:00.120 mentioned it last week. My entire adult life I spent in the construction world. I was an electrician

00:29:06.080 for a long time. And then I had my own business for a while. And hiring people and trying to keep

00:29:10.880 people on job sites was difficult when the economy was booming. And a guest worker program

00:29:17.740 would go a long way to alleviating a number of problems. The first problem would be you look at

00:29:25.220 the caravan at Tijuana. Of that 7,000, the group of 7,000, it is mostly young men. That's been proven 0.98

00:29:32.620 that it's mostly there are women and children, but it's mostly young men. And those young men are

00:29:37.680 talking about poverty, which is not a reason to seek asylum, but wanting a better life. There is a huge

00:29:44.840 need in the manufacturing world and especially in the construction world across this country.

00:29:48.960 But I can tell you specifically where I'm from in Arizona for a qualified labor force in the

00:29:55.220 construction world. These are not jobs that are being taken away from Americans. These are jobs that

00:30:01.400 Americans are not doing. And as anecdotal as the evidence is, I can tell you from everyone I've talked 1.00

00:30:07.700 to that I work with in the construction world, they are starving for qualified labor right now.

00:30:12.300 A concession of the deal could be made on that front if people would come to the table and have

00:30:18.220 a conversation. But at some point, the media is going to have to start asking the question,

00:30:23.000 at what point are the Democrats realistically just being obstructionist and not going to give this

00:30:28.300 president anything that looks like a victory? In reality, that's what we have. Chuck Schumer is not

00:30:35.800 going to come to the table and watch this president who is already winning in working class Democrat

00:30:41.720 households with keeping his promise on jobs and manufacturing going up and the continuation

00:30:47.480 of businesses getting stronger with three point seven percent unemployment. Who's benefiting that

00:30:52.160 working class Democrat household is who is benefiting. And now when you look at what's happened or what's 0.92

00:31:01.780 happening, if the president gets a victory on some kind of a worker program and if he is able to make

00:31:08.560 the deal to expand the number of people covered under the DREAM Act or make it permanent through a piece

00:31:14.040 of legislation, it's going to look a lot like a victory for this president with the very working

00:31:18.600 class people that the Democrats say are going to vote him out of office in 2020. And if you don't

00:31:24.160 believe that politics are a part of this, you tell me why after hearing what you heard of Chuck Schumer.

00:31:30.240 Forget Obama and Clinton. They're gone. Schumer isn't. Schumer was a border hawk and wouldn't even use the

00:31:37.540 phrase undocumented immigrant. He called him illegals. This was this was less than 10 years ago.

00:31:48.140 Where is the media asking them, are you just being an obstructionist now? Are you just refusing to give

00:31:54.080 this president a victory on any issue? And if you don't believe that the media is reacting with this,

00:32:02.180 what has been called now Trump derangement syndrome, you're wrong. I am not an on any level, a conspiracy

00:32:09.140 theorist, not at all. But I can tell you that they are dead set in the media of destroying this president

00:32:18.580 and will say nothing positive about what he's done. So unless the Democrats are able to spin it as a huge

00:32:24.220 victory for them, they're not cutting a deal.

00:32:26.660 The president's own the shutdown. They're going to point the finger at him.

00:32:35.580 So we've got to talk about the results of the shutdown. Others, not just this one,

00:32:40.000 because we don't know how this one's going to end. How long have they lasted? Why did they happen?

00:32:43.840 Who did they affect? But the idea of something called Trump derangement system,

00:32:49.560 syndrome, if you don't believe it exists. Some fun before we end this hour. If you've not seen the

00:32:57.080 viral video, we've tried to clean it up as much as we can. And there's some of it we're going to play

00:33:02.260 as a guy goes into a vape shop, which I've never been into, to buy some supplies. And he's wearing a

00:33:09.680 Trump t-shirt and the guy working the counter loses his mind like a big baby. That and what one very

00:33:21.380 prominent Democrat said about the mental stability of the president. We'll do all of that before we

00:33:27.180 close out this hour. My name is Mike Broomhead and this is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:30.760 Hey, once again, happy new year from the Glenn Beck Program. My name is Mike Broomhead.

00:33:42.060 Want to get to the Trump derangement syndrome story in just a moment, but I wanted to give

00:33:46.100 you an update. I know that many of you, many of you have been following on social media that the,

00:33:50.100 you know, the Glenn Beck Program, it's Glenn, Pat, Stu, and everybody loves Jeffy. Well,

00:33:55.960 Jeffy decided he wanted to be, get more attention over the holidays. So he decided he was going to have

00:34:00.520 himself a heart attack. And so Jeffy had a heart attack. I talked with him. I talked with Mrs.

00:34:05.280 Jeffy, who was truly the brains of that outfit. And Jeffy's doing very well. He wanted me to pass

00:34:10.160 along to everyone that he is doing well. As a matter of fact, he's complaining about the hospital

00:34:14.760 food in good spirits. I had a conversation with him yesterday. It was great news that as bad as it

00:34:21.380 was, he's in good spirits. There was no need for any open heart surgery. So he'll be back in the coming

00:34:26.820 days, going through some rehab stuff. Last I heard, he was still in the hospital, but hoping to go home

00:34:31.680 very soon. So for those of you that have been concerned, they wanted me to pass along two

00:34:34.640 messages in good spirits. And thank you very much for your thoughts and your prayers, reaching out

00:34:39.240 to Jeffy. So that all good news on that front. I wanted to make sure I passed that along.

00:34:45.540 Before we close out the hour, we talk about Trump derangement syndrome. I'll start with something

00:34:51.140 from the media. Of all people, of all people, former Vermont governor and almost presidential

00:34:57.860 candidate Howard, I have a scream speech, Dean said that Donald Trump is mentally incapacitated. 0.67

00:35:06.660 Where was he? MSNBC. Where else would he be? The network that wants to 0.82

00:35:11.780 school you to tell you that you need to be more civil and, and, uh, criticize, chastise the president

00:35:22.060 for the tone of his tweets and continues to bring people on that network to question the mental 0.98

00:35:28.260 capabilities of the president of the United States, the hypocrite network that is MSNBC starting 0.75

00:35:34.120 with morning Joe, but not to be outdone anywhere across the, that, uh, that, um, the dial there. 0.95

00:35:41.780 So now I want you to hear from a very peace loving liberal. I want you to hear how it starts.

00:35:52.540 There is a young man that walks into a vape shop. There is a customer there that's waiting

00:35:58.240 and he walks in and wants to purchase something. The cashier, the lovable liberal that he is,

00:36:07.300 um, he doesn't want to serve him because he's wearing a Trump t-shirt. So this is the setup

00:36:17.680 from the customer as he begins the videotape because he was asked to leave.

00:36:22.920 So here we are at exhale vapor city in Tucker, Georgia, and I have just been asked to leave the

00:36:28.060 store. He greeted me. That was nice. I did find the item that I wanted. And the next thing he said

00:36:34.260 was that he liked me to leave. If you do not stop recording in my store, I'm going to call

00:36:38.500 the police and ask you to leave now. Please call the police. That would be awesome. That'd be

00:36:42.240 awesome. We can call Fox five and all sorts of stuff. I'd like to, I would like to purchase

00:36:47.260 something here. Please do call your boss because I will be calling corporate. Go for it. I am looking

00:36:53.340 forward to releasing this video because I just want to purchase something.

00:36:57.220 I'm not a racist. Beautiful, right? Now this guy is as crazy as that sounded as the conversation

00:37:17.440 continues, the customer continues to be in that very civil tone. And finally the lovable liberal 0.90

00:37:25.320 can't take it anymore.

00:37:27.120 Man, get out. No, no, no. Sell it to me. Sell it to me, punk. It's your job, your freedom.

00:37:35.560 Sell me. No, no, no. Sell it to me. Sell it to me. Come on. Ring it up. Ring it up and

00:37:43.020 you don't ruin your life. That's where you're at right now because you done upset me. And

00:37:47.900 you should have helped him first in the first place before you threw a temper tantrum. 1.00

00:37:51.360 You're dead. He's standing here waiting for you to ring him up. How help your customer? 0.60

00:38:04.600 Happy New Year. I explained last week exactly how FISA orders are come about. I have a friend

00:38:15.320 who spent 30 years, 30 years in the FBI, an expert when it comes to FISA orders, getting

00:38:21.520 them and using them. He now is a professor at the Embry-Riddle School of International Security.

00:38:28.340 And we will talk with him. His name is Steve Hooper. He joins me just after the top of the

00:38:34.100 next hour to discuss FISA orders and the need for better security in schools. All that right

00:38:40.500 around the corner. My name is Mike Broomhead. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:49.600 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:56.500 Rudy Giuliani goes after the Mueller investigation. I talked to you about FISA orders, how they're

00:39:01.820 obtained, who gets them, how they're gotten and how they work and what mistakes were made in the

00:39:06.880 Mueller investigation or go back even further with the leadership of the FBI. We talked to a former

00:39:11.620 FBI agent, 30 years with the FBI coming up. My name is Mike Broomhead. And this is the Glenn Beck

00:39:17.340 Program. This is the Glenn Beck Program. You know, not everybody agrees with me, but even though

00:39:25.420 Bitcoin is down significantly right now, I believe in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's

00:39:31.140 behind them. They're going to play a significant role in our future. And while it may end up in the

00:39:35.620 end being crazy, I'm actually investing more in Bitcoin. It just makes sense that a trackable

00:39:40.820 digital form of money will replace fiat money one day, doesn't it? It's important that you

00:39:45.960 understand these and ask these questions and find the answers because you have a chance right now to

00:39:50.460 invest in this technology before it happens. And if I'm right, and I could be wrong, you could make

00:39:55.760 game-changing money from a very small investment. But I want you to do your own homework and begin with

00:40:01.000 Wall Street hedge fund manager, Tika Tiwari. He's an expert in the cryptocurrency space. He's created

00:40:06.320 a course that takes you through all of the basics and makes buying or selling of crypto as simple as

00:40:11.660 buying and selling stock. For a limited time, you can take a risk-free 30-day trial of his course by

00:40:16.580 going to smartcryptocourse.com. Do it today, smartcryptocourse.com or call 877-PBL-BECK.

00:40:23.420 Hey, thank you for being here. My name is Mike Broomhead. Happy New Year from the Glenn Beck

00:40:36.420 program. We were explaining, I was talking about FISA orders earlier this week and explaining that

00:40:41.100 it's my belief that the big mistake was made at the beginning when the handling of the investigation

00:40:46.220 into Hillary's emails and further down the road, Donald Trump by the FBI should have been handled 0.84

00:40:50.200 in a field office and not by leadership. That James Comey was not an investigator. Andrew McCabe

00:40:56.100 showed himself to have a bias and it should have never been handled there. So having a friend that's

00:41:00.640 an expert when it comes to FISA orders, his name is Stephen Hooper. He is now a professor at the College

00:41:06.360 of Security and Intelligence at Embry-Riddle University in Prescott, Arizona. Also the owner of Tripwire

00:41:11.500 Security Solutions, which is a security consulting firm. 30 years with the FBI. So, Steve, thanks again for

00:41:18.680 joining me. Morning, Mike. No problem. So let's talk about, first of all, FISA orders. Can you run

00:41:26.260 down what it takes for you yourself, if you're an agent in a field office, what has to happen

00:41:31.340 and the steps you have to go through in order to obtain a FISA order? Well, of course, FISA goes back

00:41:39.300 many years to its inception back in the 70s when there was criticism of the FBI during the uprisings

00:41:51.280 in the subversive groups of the 60s and 70s. And the FBI was actually monitoring, wiretapping,

00:41:58.100 if you will, American citizens, whether they were civil rights groups or college groups that were

00:42:03.340 uprising, the Students for a Democratic Society, SDS, and so forth. And finally, some things happened

00:42:10.140 that brought it to light that the FBI was monitoring American citizens without them being involved in

00:42:18.460 any criminal activity. So that became a concern, and that's when the FISA started. So the rules are

00:42:26.740 strict. The targets must be either foreign intelligence officers, foreign intelligence agents,

00:42:38.120 people identified in the United States as agents of a foreign power, and we can get into corporations

00:42:44.920 and break down into the smaller groups. But essentially, it all has to do with foreign intelligence

00:42:54.220 collection only. It cannot be used to collect information or intelligence on American citizens.

00:43:01.500 So the process involves extensive documentation. If it's going to be an American citizen that's

00:43:09.660 involved, it has to be extensive documentation that not only is that American citizen connected to

00:43:17.340 the foreign intelligence service or a foreign intelligence officer, but they have to actually be

00:43:24.160 involved in active intelligence collection for that foreign intelligence service.

00:43:31.140 Are you, is it odd or is it unique that this investigation was handled out of headquarters and not out of

00:43:37.380 a field office?

00:43:39.340 Yeah, that's one of the things that struck me early on was that agents at the level of deputy assistant

00:43:48.380 director and on up were affiance and were leading this investigation. Historically, the FBI, although the FBI headquarters generally will get involved, it's generally for approval for like FISA's and Title III wiretaps, which are the ones that they use for pure criminal investigations.

00:44:11.580 They go up the chain of command in the field office. And then they do have to go to headquarters and the Department of Justice for authorization and approvals. But the boots on the ground investigations, the collection of the evidence that would lead you down the road of getting a Title III or a FISA application,

00:44:31.280 that's all done by the agents in the field office. And in this case, it would have been the Washington field office. So the fact that the affiance and the lead investigators on this were headquarters executives, if you will, that struck me as odd. Right at the beginning, I worked in the Washington field office for 13 years. So I had never seen that.

00:44:56.520 What do you make of Andrew McCabe's firing, the recommendation from within the FBI? What did that tell you that they were, you know, how egregious were his actions that he was actually terminated so close to retirement?

00:45:09.140 Well, you have to trust the process. And in my 30 years with the Bureau, you know, you trust the process. And sadly, I knew people over the years that got themselves into problems. And it always comes down to the same thing.

00:45:26.520 The term is called lack of candor. It's one thing to do, make mistakes in your investigations and do things that are unacceptable at the FBI standards. But the FBI usually can get to the punishment stage and suspensions and so forth.

00:45:44.640 But in the end, if you lie about what you did, the the Office of Professional Responsibility who conducts the internal affairs for the FBI, that's the one level that's intolerable.

00:45:58.060 And from what I understand, that's what he was let go for lack of candor.

00:46:03.380 That's a standard that is that you can never bypass a professor.

00:46:11.520 Professor, Professor Steve Hooper is joining me. He's with the College of Security and Intelligence at Embry-Riddle University, 30 years with the FBI and also has a company called Tripwire Security Solutions.

00:46:20.100 Let me shift gears for a moment, Steve, because the number one story, according to the AP last year, was the Parkland school shooting in South Florida.

00:46:27.440 But there was also a report that was critical of the actions of people on campus that should have done something quicker and implemented some steps.

00:46:33.960 You've actually started a company that that advises schools and other places.

00:46:37.580 How has the the police the way the police respond to shooters and what people should be doing, whether it's in the corporate situation or the school situation?

00:46:47.100 How is this change with these active shooter situations that have been happening?

00:46:51.920 Well, the part that has to change, we've changed it on a national level.

00:46:57.300 You know, back, I always say before 2001, the FBI was your standard federal law enforcement.

00:47:06.860 You know, crime happens, FBI shows up, investigates, identifies who did it, hopefully prosecute and conviction.

00:47:14.080 After 9-11, that became unacceptable in the terrorism world.

00:47:17.900 We weren't allowed to show up after the terrorist attack.

00:47:21.700 And now the mandate was to prevent it from happening in the first place.

00:47:25.380 So what we've done is taken the same approach to not just school shootings, but small businesses.

00:47:31.100 We see this happening routinely at small businesses where fired employees come back or angry employees or people who feel like they they didn't get the promotion and so forth.

00:47:41.880 So whatever button that gets pushed to pushes them over the edge and these the the incidents are there.

00:47:49.980 The FBI calls them concerning behaviors.

00:47:52.480 Those behaviors are there.

00:47:54.120 And you just have to be paying attention to them.

00:47:59.200 So the concept that the police do a great job, but understand the police are a reactive force in every city.

00:48:06.620 And so they have a plan in place to get there.

00:48:09.680 We can talk about Annapolis and the the newspaper up there.

00:48:15.040 Capital Gazette, when the police were there in less than less than a minute, they were able to respond.

00:48:19.700 But sadly, still five people were killed.

00:48:21.660 So the response part is is better than ever.

00:48:24.780 And the ability to respond on campus with lockdown drills and so forth are better than ever.

00:48:32.800 That's great.

00:48:33.480 But what we're looking at, what we consult on is how do we identify the behaviors ahead of time?

00:48:39.040 And so you're not just responding to when it does happen, but how about you try to prevent it from happening in the first place?

00:48:45.480 And we were I was trained as a crisis manager in the FBI, and it was all about there was a whole prevention piece on how to identify something before it happens.

00:48:57.960 The Joint Terrorist and Task Force forces in the FBI, they live this every day.

00:49:02.940 They spend all day, every day looking for information that would prevent a bad act from happening.

00:49:08.160 And so we're taking that same concept where we train a crisis manager on the campus, someone who owns suspicious activity.

00:49:16.160 They own threatening activity.

00:49:17.660 They own suspicious activity.

00:49:19.980 And they monitor it every day.

00:49:22.760 And then and if this threat should bubble up, they have actions they take outside the campus, off campus that can help prevent it from happening in the first place.

00:49:35.480 So in your opinion, when you look at not just what happened in this case, but moving forward, whether it's like a school or an organization, they should have someone kind of on point who is assessing, looking for threats, someone that kind of coordinates things and make sure that law enforcement has the knowledge of something because they can't be.

00:49:51.240 Like you said, they react to a situation, but there should be somebody proactive in every organization that kind of takes responsibility for that.

00:49:58.580 Right.

00:49:58.980 And we always use schools as examples.

00:50:02.700 And again, small businesses fit also.

00:50:05.480 But, yeah, somebody who, you know, everyone when there's a problem, everyone wants to call the principal or the vice principal.

00:50:11.940 Well, they've got, you know, six other jobs they're trying to accomplish.

00:50:14.800 And what we see is the problem on campuses, many of them, no one owns the threat.

00:50:22.460 No one is in that position where that's their job every day to monitor concerning behavior that maybe a sophomore or junior is starting to show a senior or even at grammar schools.

00:50:36.780 Grammar schools, although we don't expect third and fourth graders to be the threat, although there is a couple of examples of the sixth and seventh graders doing some pretty horrific things.

00:50:48.740 And but they what they are should be concerned with and what they could be looking at is what's going on off campus.

00:50:59.080 What are they do?

00:51:00.160 They know what's going on to the families.

00:51:01.760 Is there a divorce?

00:51:02.840 Did a pet die?

00:51:03.700 Did a did a, you know, someone in the family die?

00:51:08.260 Are they going through a nasty divorce, a custody suit and so forth?

00:51:11.900 So there's there's lots of things that can be going on in people's personal lives that can cause the angst in the and cause a threat to the school to start bubbling up.

00:51:25.100 And those are the things you need to be aware of to prevent it.

00:51:28.980 Well, Steve, as always, it's good talking to you when you're on with me in Phoenix or here on Glenn's show.

00:51:32.940 Happy New Year.

00:51:33.760 And I hope to talk to you soon.

00:51:35.720 All right, Mike.

00:51:36.460 Happy New Year.

00:51:37.040 Thank you.

00:51:37.960 All right.

00:51:38.200 That's a professor, Steve Hooper, from the College of Security and Intelligence at Embry-Riddle University.

00:51:42.600 Spent 30 years with the FBI.

00:51:43.780 A wealth of information when it comes to security in this issue and also when it comes to how the process works with the FBI.

00:51:50.760 What we're going to do coming up in just a moment is more about this idea of the shooting, the school shooting, the Parkland shooting, the number one story in 2018.

00:52:01.380 Well, an update, a report, the very critical of how that was handled and lessons we should learn from all of it.

00:53:27.500 Hey, Happy New Year from the Glenn Beck Program.

00:53:29.480 And thanks to Steve Hooper for joining me for a few minutes.

00:53:31.980 The Parkland school shooting deemed the number one story of 2018 by the AP, the Associated Press.

00:53:39.400 And it did.

00:53:39.780 It gained a lot of story.

00:53:40.700 We know that David Hogg and others became kind of household names because of this, the anti-gun crowd.

00:53:46.260 And, you know, I harbored no ill will towards David Hogg.

00:53:50.940 He's a kid that was in a traumatic situation.

00:53:53.740 I thought he was used.

00:53:55.080 And much like I've mentioned before, being a Gold Star family member back in 04, I traveled on and I volunteered for the Bush campaign.

00:54:04.940 And we spoke out at rallies kind of opposing Cindy Sheehan, who also was a Gold Star.

00:54:10.280 She's a Gold Star mom.

00:54:11.280 You remember the story of her being the biggest opponent to the war?

00:54:14.260 Well, if you were close to that story, you saw that she was absolutely used by the people on the political left.

00:54:19.940 She was a grieving mother and she was used.

00:54:22.620 And when she was no longer useful, they kind of just tossed her aside.

00:54:26.920 She was an opponent of the war, which I understood.

00:54:30.960 I didn't agree with her, but I understood.

00:54:32.600 I didn't like the way she behaved. 0.97

00:54:33.980 And after a while, I kind of turned my back because I stopped feeling sorry for her with some of the things she was saying.

00:54:40.520 We were very kind to her.

00:54:43.260 She was not kind to the parents that opposed her.

00:54:46.580 She was very vitriolic in the way she spoke. 0.91

00:54:49.080 But she was also used to talk about things that she didn't know anything about.

00:54:52.800 She talked about the Palestinians.

00:54:54.820 She was hugging Hugo Chavez.

00:54:56.940 She was speaking on because she was a mouthpiece and because she had the microphones in her face.

00:55:01.820 They had her speaking about things.

00:55:03.080 She didn't have any idea what she was talking about.

00:55:05.880 And then when she outlived her usefulness, they just tossed her aside.

00:55:09.740 And I think that's what happened with David Hogg.

00:55:12.080 David Hogg was on TV every single day.

00:55:14.420 And I felt bad for this kid.

00:55:15.800 He was in a traumatic situation.

00:55:17.280 I don't agree with his position on guns on any level.

00:55:20.240 But they just used this kid because he was a young kid and we're going to change the world and we're doing all these other things.

00:55:27.360 And it was just I felt bad for him.

00:55:30.540 I feel bad for all of those kids.

00:55:33.380 A report was out that there were steps in place.

00:55:35.920 They called it a code red was supposed to be called in it.

00:55:38.440 They delayed that by six minutes.

00:55:40.240 The people that were supposed to be monitoring the hallways, one of them hid.

00:55:43.380 They didn't do the things they were supposed to do within the school.

00:55:46.000 And then the police response from the sheriff's office was not what it was supposed to be either.

00:55:50.340 And when you look at these mass shootings, the lessons that we should be learning about this is they all were preventable in many cases because there were warning signs that were very evident to family members and to friends and to people around them.

00:56:04.500 Whether you're talking all the way back to Columbine, you want to go talk about the Virginia Tech shooter.

00:56:10.020 The Virginia Tech shooter, if you remember that shooting, that was somebody who was told not to come back on that campus until they had some mental health counseling.

00:56:17.760 Jared Loeffner, who did the devastating shooting in Tucson, Arizona, that incapacitated to a large degree and took a long road to recovery for former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.

00:56:30.640 If you remember, many of you may not know this, Gabrielle Giffords and her husband now are very staunch anti-gun advocates, but she was a rated by the NRA when she was a Democrat in the Congress in Arizona.

00:56:47.180 Now, I don't necessarily blame her for changing her mind on the issue, but she was a staunch defender of the Second Amendment for a long time.

00:56:54.540 Jared Loeffner, much like the Virginia Tech shooter, was told not to return to college until he had mental health evaluations and counseling.

00:57:03.280 His family and friends knew he was dangerous and spiraling out of control.

00:57:09.320 You look at what happened with the Colorado shooter, Holmes.

00:57:14.820 He was on campus in Colorado and there was an intervention team that was going to come to him in the graduate program and they were going to intervene for mental health reasons.

00:57:26.340 He dropped out of school and that intervention team felt that it was no longer their jurisdiction to intervene.

00:57:32.920 I'm not blaming them.

00:57:34.380 They had no clue.

00:57:35.300 I'm saying that he had become so mentally ill that there was an intervention team that was working its way to him.

00:57:42.080 Adam Lanza, everyone knew.

00:57:45.520 That's the Sandy Hook shooter. 0.56

00:57:48.480 This shooter in the Parkland High School, the people there called him the crazy kid.

00:57:54.020 One of the counselors at the school that didn't institute this code red fast enough said that if anybody was going to shoot up the school, it was going to be this kid.

00:58:03.480 How many times had he been contacted by law enforcement?

00:58:07.380 The point I'm making is if you want to address the issue of this solving this problem, and we all do, it should start with the constitutional argument about HIPAA laws.

00:58:20.380 When can you forcibly medicate someone?

00:58:25.140 How do you possibly take someone into custody for crimes they might commit?

00:58:29.240 You can't do that.

00:58:30.200 So then you have to wait until they shoot up a school to take them to jail.

00:58:35.500 You know, you you start now talking about mental health issues and when the courts can step in and remove someone's guns.

00:58:43.120 Can you say that because you're in the middle of a divorce or maybe you're what's what if you're depressed?

00:58:48.720 What if you're clinically depressed because of a bad situation and you are being medicated, whether you're taking some kind of medication for depression?

00:58:55.800 Should the government be able to come in and remove your guns just for safety's sake?

00:59:00.600 What does that do to the reporting of mental illness?

00:59:02.940 It's already something that people don't feel comfortable talking about.

00:59:06.520 And let's be honest, there are so many different levels of mental illness to say mental illness and lump that into dangerous is unfair.

00:59:14.080 Just like saying a common cold and cancer are on two ends of the spectrum of illness.

00:59:21.300 The same thing happens with mental illness.

00:59:24.040 But that's where the solution to this problem lies is the conversation about mental health and the conversation about forcible medication or incarceration because someone is dangerous.

00:59:34.540 When can you step in?

00:59:35.720 It still is a constitutional conversation, just like it is with the Second Amendment.

00:59:39.400 But you can confiscate people's guns.

00:59:41.340 Look what's happening in London.

00:59:42.420 Listen, almost no one has guns in London.

00:59:45.720 So what's happening now?

00:59:46.780 They're asking people to count their kitchen knives because now it's knife attacks.

00:59:51.940 This is about human beings and not the tools they use to do damage.

00:59:57.000 Terrorists have gone from guns to bombs to running people over with vehicles.

01:00:01.520 Evil people, heartless people will find a way to do damage.

01:00:05.520 It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.

01:00:09.200 Back to the topic of illegal immigration.

01:00:11.060 Man accused of killing a California cop as an illegal immigrant.

01:00:14.740 We're going to talk about this topic right around the corner.

01:00:16.880 My name is Mike Broomhead.

01:00:18.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:00:20.320 Stick around.

01:00:20.760 You know, not everybody agrees with me, but even though Bitcoin is down significantly right

01:00:30.400 now, I believe in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's behind them.

01:00:34.780 They're going to play a significant role in our future.

01:00:37.220 And while it may end up in the end being crazy, I'm actually investing more in Bitcoin.

01:00:41.980 It just makes sense that a trackable digital form of money will replace fiat money one day.

01:00:47.600 Doesn't it?

01:00:47.960 It's important that you understand these and ask these questions and find the answers because

01:00:52.260 you have a chance right now to invest in this technology before it happens.

01:00:56.300 And if I'm right, and I could be wrong, you could make game changing money from a very

01:01:00.580 small investment.

01:01:01.700 But I want you to do your own homework and begin with Wall Street hedge fund manager,

01:01:05.900 Tika Tiwari.

01:01:06.700 He's an expert in the cryptocurrency space.

01:01:08.840 He's created a course that takes you through all of the basics and makes buying or selling

01:01:13.160 of crypto as simple as buying and selling stock.

01:01:36.760 Hey, thanks for being here.

01:01:44.860 Happy New Year.

01:01:45.480 It's the Glenn Beck Program.

01:01:46.540 My name is Mike Broomhead.

01:01:47.440 And one more day for Glenn.

01:01:49.480 Appreciate you spending part of your day with me earlier.

01:01:53.420 And we'll get to it again.

01:01:54.500 I've shared it on social media.

01:01:55.680 If you're a social media user, I love social media.

01:01:57.980 At Broomhead Show on Twitter.

01:01:59.200 The Mike Broomhead Show fan page on Facebook is where you can find me.

01:02:04.660 If you're an Instagram user, Mike Broomhead, all one word if you want to follow me there.

01:02:08.640 Interesting conversations with people as I tweeted out and I also put up on social media

01:02:13.540 on Facebook the link to my blog at my radio station at KFYI in Phoenix is fascinating conversations

01:02:23.180 with people about this.

01:02:24.640 I have three videos that I put up and it's a Bill Clinton in the 90s in a State of the Union speech

01:02:30.060 telling the Congress he's going to send them a budget.

01:02:32.640 He wants them to enact, you know, put this into law that gives him more ability to expedite

01:02:38.420 deportations of illegal aliens and for more border security.

01:02:42.000 Barack Obama lamenting the fact as a senator before he was president, lamenting the fact

01:02:45.940 that illegal immigrants are stepping in front of people that are waiting and doing it the right way. 0.97

01:02:50.280 And then Chuck Schumer played a little piece of it, but it's about six minutes long.

01:02:56.340 As Chuck Schumer explains the ills of illegal immigration, and he wouldn't even use the phrase

01:03:00.980 undocumented.

01:03:01.860 It said it shows the country that we're not serious.

01:03:05.600 But here's the level of why I call people out.

01:03:08.140 I call them out because this is about in the media.

01:03:12.340 I call the media out because.

01:03:14.600 They aren't doing their jobs, so I've been asking, I put it out there, where is the media

01:03:23.280 on this?

01:03:23.840 So tell someone tell me where the media is on the flip flop by Bill Clinton, Barack Obama

01:03:27.900 and Senator Schumer on illegal immigration.

01:03:30.980 And then a reporter.

01:03:33.940 From a newspaper in Tucson, Arizona, I'm located in Phoenix where I do my normal show is in my

01:03:40.660 morning show is in Phoenix, Arizona, and a reporter from Tucson, Arizona.

01:03:49.100 The Arizona Daily Star.

01:03:53.000 Says, I am the media talking about me, says you are the media.

01:03:55.940 And I said, but I'm the only one talking about this.

01:03:58.000 You're in Tucson, which is near the border.

01:04:01.440 Aren't you concerned or curious about this flip flop?

01:04:04.220 And it's an amazing insight and picture into what we're seeing from the traditional media

01:04:13.520 on this.

01:04:16.800 Because he says he doesn't see any flip flop.

01:04:23.000 Now, I'm not out in this guy.

01:04:24.740 I'm not asking people to hammer this guy, but this is a picture of what we're seeing.

01:04:28.620 So I don't see a flip flop.

01:04:30.220 The center of the disagreement today is Trump's symbolic wall, which he wrongly portrays as

01:04:35.220 the key to border security.

01:04:36.500 It's not.

01:04:37.340 A person can logically oppose the wall and support border security.

01:04:41.840 Does anybody believe that the Democrats are supporting border security right now?

01:04:47.120 It doesn't matter that this cop killer in California snuck in during the Obama administration.

01:04:52.640 It could have just as easily been the Bush administration or anybody else's.

01:04:55.920 The border has not been secure for a long time.

01:04:58.440 Here's what's disappointing about this reporter.

01:05:02.360 He's with the Arizona Daily Star down in Tucson.

01:05:06.900 And, you know, down in southern Arizona and in places like there's a he's not in he's in

01:05:13.240 Pima County, not in Pinal County.

01:05:15.580 But Pinal County, Arizona deals with a place called Vico Valley, and it's a drug corridor.

01:05:22.000 There are signs almost 80 miles north of the southern border.

01:05:25.420 I want you to think about how far 80 miles is from where you are right now.

01:05:31.380 Think about wherever you are in the country, where how far 80 miles away is some 80 miles

01:05:38.980 north or almost 80 miles north of the border.

01:05:41.140 The Bureau of Land Management put signs up warning people in my state in Arizona not to approach

01:05:47.820 abandoned vehicles, not to approach abandoned packages and not to pick up hitchhikers because

01:05:52.900 it's a known drug corridor.

01:05:55.540 This reporter, his name is Tim, is well aware of this fact.

01:06:01.340 But he says he doesn't see a flip flop.

01:06:04.360 There's no way there is absolutely no way that you can listen to Chuck Schumer and say that it's

01:06:14.320 not a flip flop. As a matter of fact, let's do this.

01:06:17.620 I want you to hear Chuck Schumer.

01:06:19.880 Chuck Schumer in 2009.

01:06:22.280 This is just a small piece of this.

01:06:24.720 Now, it's the video is six minutes long, and I encourage you, if you're following me on

01:06:28.480 social media and I have a public page, even if you're not following me, you can find the

01:06:32.040 Mike Broomhead show fan page.

01:06:33.280 You can see my post.

01:06:34.580 This is on my blog.

01:06:35.960 There's a video of Clinton, then Obama, and then this by Schumer.

01:06:40.020 The video is about six minutes long.

01:06:42.000 This is about 30 seconds of this.

01:06:44.360 You tell me what you are about to hear.

01:06:47.240 Is anything similar to what Chuck Schumer sounds like right now on immigration?

01:06:51.600 Listen to this.

01:06:52.560 When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people

01:06:58.980 that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American

01:07:04.460 people overwhelmingly oppose.

01:07:07.160 If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it.

01:07:09.480 I think it is illegal and wrong.

01:07:13.720 That's just a small piece of that six minute video.

01:07:17.820 So here is a reporter, a very well respected and probably very smart reporter with the Arizona

01:07:24.620 Daily Star in a border state and a county down near the border.

01:07:28.420 That says what you just heard is not a flip flop from the Chuck Schumer you're hearing right

01:07:34.260 now.

01:07:35.760 Want to know why I'm spending the last few months and going probably to spend 2019 on my

01:07:41.080 show in Arizona calling out the media for not doing its job?

01:07:44.700 It is an absolute 180 degree shift from where they were less than 10 years ago.

01:07:56.340 I I dare someone and I'm going to do it on my show without notice.

01:08:01.840 I'm going to take Bill Clinton's words in that State of the Union address on illegal immigration

01:08:06.060 and I am going to read it on my show or I'm going to put it up on social media and ask

01:08:11.440 everybody what's wrong with this.

01:08:13.940 And when you start seeing the left go out of their minds with how terrible it is, believing

01:08:17.920 that it's Donald Trump that said it and then remind him it was Bill Clinton, because if

01:08:21.780 Donald Trump used the exact words and I wish he would in the upcoming State of the Union

01:08:26.200 address, if the shutdown continues to just get up and read the words of Bill Clinton and

01:08:32.900 what he said in the 90s to that very small, not well, some of them are still there to

01:08:37.320 the Congress and what he wanted in a budget.

01:08:40.480 The reason why I'm saying this is because the media enjoys protections that it should

01:08:44.900 always have.

01:08:45.920 They should be able to be critical of their government without fear of retribution.

01:08:51.060 They should always have that in this country, but they have a responsibility and they're not

01:08:56.440 living up to that responsibility.

01:08:58.360 Not everyone.

01:08:59.040 It's not a 100 percent game, but it is largely the narrative.

01:09:03.260 Just that small piece of what Chuck Schumer said, if you were put yourself in the shoes

01:09:07.800 of a reporter, you don't want to go back and say, wait a minute, that was Schumer in

01:09:13.300 09.

01:09:14.520 You watch that six minute video of Chuck Schumer and say, wait a minute, that's what Schumer

01:09:18.720 said in 09.

01:09:19.980 Now he's stonewalling. 1.00

01:09:21.680 No pun intended.

01:09:23.680 It takes 60 votes to get something done in the Senate.

01:09:26.580 The Republicans only have a three seat majority.

01:09:31.120 Do the math.

01:09:32.900 They are not going to budge for political reasons.

01:09:37.840 Now, both sides are going to choose sides.

01:09:40.820 You're going to have the right defend Trump.

01:09:42.540 You're going to have the left defend Schumer.

01:09:44.420 But somewhere in the middle is that large swath of independent voters who could care less,

01:09:50.200 who could not care less about political parties.

01:09:52.800 And Schumer's right in that what you just heard when he said it is overwhelmingly supported

01:10:00.560 by the American people to end illegal immigration.

01:10:02.640 Pressure comes from people like you and people like me.

01:10:10.080 When we are calling our members of the legislature and our states and we're calling members of

01:10:15.120 the Congress.

01:10:15.660 But you don't get an overwhelming number of people concerned when you're not getting the message.

01:10:21.700 And the media knows that.

01:10:22.940 They are allowing their personal and political beliefs to cloud their judgment on what truly

01:10:29.600 is a flip flop.

01:10:30.780 There's no way you can go back and listen to Bill Clinton's speech on that video that's on

01:10:35.740 my blog or with Barack Obama or with what you just heard of Chuck Schumer and not see that

01:10:42.760 there has been a 180 degree shift by the Democratic Party on illegal immigration.

01:10:48.380 And what's sad about it is a police officer died at the hands of an illegal immigrant. 1.00

01:10:56.520 Oddly enough, ironically enough, that police officer, a legal immigrant to the United States,

01:11:03.120 what we all hold in high regard.

01:11:05.140 Not only was this man a legal immigrant to the United States, he decided to protect society

01:11:09.920 by becoming a police officer.

01:11:12.360 And why did he die? 0.96

01:11:13.800 Because an illegal immigrant killed him. 1.00

01:11:15.720 Why was that illegal immigrant able to do that? 1.00

01:11:17.680 Because he snuck over the border a few years ago.

01:11:20.260 He'd been arrested for DUI on a couple of occasions.

01:11:22.980 And because of California's sanctuary laws.

01:11:27.140 Was not reported to the federal government for deportation.

01:11:33.060 Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party doesn't matter.

01:11:38.220 Somebody tell me that we're not all concerned and say, wait a minute, if the guy's here illegally, 1.00

01:11:42.440 even if you're someone that says, I understand why people come here illegally. 0.98

01:11:45.620 He's now had a couple of DUIs, he's been arrested.

01:11:48.600 The guy's obviously a problem.

01:11:50.240 How many, what's the percentage of people now that don't have a problem with those sanctuary

01:11:54.620 laws in California?

01:11:55.700 So many people turned on the media.

01:12:01.000 So many people turned.

01:12:05.420 After what happened when the president's words were twisted about this very issue of sanctuary laws.

01:12:11.600 And it's not over yet.

01:12:17.580 Coming up, we'll talk about that.

01:12:20.320 How did the media twist the words of the president on sanctuary laws?

01:12:23.620 And why is it now that it's rearing its ugly head?

01:12:26.820 We'll talk about that and more about this police officer who gave his life.

01:12:30.180 And you'll hear what the sheriff had to say of that county denouncing the sanctuary laws of the state of California.

01:12:36.580 We'll do that here in just a couple of moments.

01:12:38.160 My name is Mike Broomhead.

01:12:39.520 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:12:45.700 Hey, thanks for being here.

01:12:46.760 My name is Mike Broomhead.

01:12:47.740 In for Glenn Beck, one more day.

01:12:49.360 We wish you a happy new year.

01:12:51.560 Hope you got big plans tonight.

01:12:53.020 It's it's interesting, the the politics that's involved in what we're seeing in immigration right now and how each side wants to say it's not political when it absolutely without a doubt is political.

01:13:07.020 I don't I can be very critical, have been very critical of this president, both when he was candidate and as president.

01:13:12.700 I have my disagreements.

01:13:14.460 But what I'm not going to do is wish defeat on him.

01:13:16.780 I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.

01:13:19.300 And the press has a job to do that they're not doing.

01:13:22.560 And the more people are vocal about it, they're just not doing their job.

01:13:27.760 And being honest, you just have to be honest.

01:13:32.160 I've been as as intellectually honest and consistent on this issue, complaining about, you know, the unaccompanied minors and what was going on and the policies that led to this going all the way back to the Obama administration.

01:13:43.580 Law enforcement, law enforcement, everyone says we hold law enforcement in such high regard when President Trump was critical of James Comey.

01:13:50.800 They said, how dare you damage the character of the FBI?

01:13:53.580 And they attack law enforcement on a daily basis.

01:13:56.340 You've got the sheriff in California talking about this officer, Singh, who was gunned down, an immigrant, a legal immigrant to this country, leaves behind a wife and a five month old.

01:14:05.780 It is a tragic story.

01:14:07.400 So at every turn, when it comes to the illegal immigration conversation, the left will remind you that two children have died in custody under the Trump administration.

01:14:18.980 They are laying this at the feet of President Trump.

01:14:22.520 Well, I'm not laying the death of this cop.

01:14:27.440 At the feet of Barack Obama, but he snuck into this country during the Obama administration.

01:14:32.900 That doesn't mean I only bring it up to say it doesn't matter when it happened.

01:14:37.680 It could have easily happened.

01:14:39.200 Maybe it did happen.

01:14:40.100 Maybe this guy came in during the Bush administration, too.

01:14:42.780 The border is not secure.

01:14:46.660 But it's our laws.

01:14:48.060 It's the infighting.

01:14:49.400 It's the lack of common sense that has most people furious.

01:14:54.780 The sheriff of Stanislaus County, Adam Christensen, just quickly, what he had to say about the way we do business as a country, about the politics involved here and how angry he is.

01:15:10.840 Because I want the nation to know, I want your viewers to know, he said this on Fox, that Officer Singh really should be the focus of this investigation and his sacrifice.

01:15:21.840 But I also want everyone to know that immigration is good for America if done legally.

01:15:27.380 Amen.

01:15:28.720 Immigration is good for America if done legally. 0.63

01:15:34.080 Illegal immigration does not serve our communities, especially criminals who victimize and exploit our communities. 1.00

01:15:41.620 Whether you hate the president or love the president, border security goes hand in hand with national security, the safety of our communities and public safety.

01:15:51.340 We need to know who is in our communities that shouldn't be.

01:15:54.320 We should be focused on criminal activity without political interference.

01:15:59.440 He is being very critical of the sanctuary laws in the state of California.

01:16:05.700 He goes on to say we were prohibited.

01:16:08.580 Law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws that led to the encounter with Officer Singh.

01:16:15.640 The outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited or had their hands tied because of political interference.

01:16:25.240 The tables turned for many people on how they were going to talk about President Trump.

01:16:33.660 When that sheriff in California, when he was talking about illegal immigration and she spoke up and said to the president that they can have a known MS-13 gang member.

01:16:43.500 And unless they meet a certain threshold, she is not allowed to report them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

01:16:49.080 To which President Trump responded that these people are animals.

01:16:53.800 The media, all of those cable news networks I've mentioned before and some of ABC, NBC, CBS, but MSNBC, CNN. 0.78

01:17:02.140 They all twisted that video and made it look as if the president, because they edited the video to make it look like the president was talking about all illegal immigrants.

01:17:13.680 That's when the minds changed.

01:17:17.000 Coming up, Lindsey Graham floats an idea on how to maybe offset and end this standoff. 1.00

01:17:25.480 We'll also talk about the shutdown in history.

01:17:28.080 Stick around.

01:17:28.640 It's a Glenn Beck program.

01:17:32.140 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:17:38.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:17:42.040 Hey, my name is Mike Bermet.

01:17:42.960 In for Glenn, happy new year.

01:17:43.960 Coming up this hour, Lindsey Graham floats an idea that may give the president five billion dollars for the wall and offset by giving 700,000 work permits. 0.99

01:17:52.380 But will the Democrats come to the table?

01:17:54.820 Also, the media I've been talking about that refuses to tell both sides of the story.

01:17:59.940 Going to give you a fine example of that as well.

01:18:02.900 All that coming up.

01:18:03.780 Again, my name is Mike Broomhead.

01:18:05.480 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:18:10.140 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:18:11.980 You know, not everybody agrees with me, but even though Bitcoin is down significantly right now, I believe in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's behind them.

01:18:20.640 They're going to play a significant role in our future.

01:18:23.240 And while it may end up in the end being crazy, I'm actually investing more in Bitcoin.

01:18:27.820 It just makes sense that a trackable digital form of money will replace fiat money one day.

01:18:33.440 Doesn't it?

01:18:33.800 It's important that you understand these and ask these questions and find the answers because you have a chance right now to invest in this technology before it happens.

01:18:41.960 And if I'm right, and I could be wrong, you could make game changing money from a very small investment.

01:18:47.540 But I want you to do your own homework and begin with Wall Street hedge fund manager Tika Tiwari.

01:18:52.560 He's an expert in the cryptocurrency space.

01:18:54.700 He's created a course that takes you through all of the basics and makes buying or selling of crypto as simple as buying and selling stock.

01:19:01.920 For a limited time, you can take a risk-free 30-day trial of his course by going to smartcryptocourse.com.

01:19:07.560 Do it today, smartcryptocourse.com or call 877-PBL-BECK.

01:19:27.220 Thanks for being here.

01:19:28.400 It's the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:29.420 Happy New Year.

01:19:29.940 My name is Mike Broomhead, and one more day for Glenn.

01:19:32.620 I always appreciate being him.

01:19:34.040 Glenn's got the best audience in the world, so I appreciate you listening.

01:19:38.160 Social media users, at Broomhead Show on Twitter, the Mike Broomhead Show fan page on Facebook is where you can find me.

01:19:44.400 Instagram, Goofy Pictures, you can find me there.

01:19:47.120 Mike Broomhead, all one word if you want to follow me on Instagram.

01:19:49.620 I'm calling out the media for their handling of things, and you may hear more about it.

01:19:55.680 We'll get a couple of those in this hour, possibly, where they've switched.

01:19:59.500 They flip-flopped on the left in the handling of illegal immigration.

01:20:02.440 And, you know, both sides agree that the border's not secure.

01:20:05.940 And we'll get to all of it.

01:20:08.200 This standoff that's happening, this government shutdown, what really does it mean?

01:20:12.640 Well, Lindsey Graham is posing a solution. 1.00

01:20:14.740 And when I am going to stay on the mantra, at least for the duration of the time that you'll hear me here today, but also if you listen to my show in Phoenix, the mantra has been about the media not doing its job, at least not completely.

01:20:29.000 And it's not everyone.

01:20:29.960 It's not a 100 percent game, but you're looking largely at not hearing the whole story.

01:20:35.500 Here is Lindsey Graham still working hard, still trying to broker a deal, had lunch with the president, posing an idea, trying to broker something. 0.80

01:20:44.060 On the other side of this, Nancy Pelosi, an $800 a night resort.

01:20:49.140 An Arizona congresswoman I mentioned in the first hour, because I live in the state of Arizona, Debbie Lesko.

01:20:58.840 And the congresswoman saying, I'm ready to go back to D.C. on a moment's notice.

01:21:03.520 The minute the Democrats say they're ready to come back to the negotiating table, I'm going, I'm ready to go.

01:21:08.460 But we're not hearing both sides of this.

01:21:16.680 Lindsey Graham's idea is if the president, if they write it into law and the president legislatively guarantees the protection of the 700,000 dreamers, and then the offset would be $5 billion for the wall, that might be a compromise.

01:21:35.420 The president sitting down and listening, the Democrats are not.

01:21:41.040 The idea of fixing immigration is on the minds of many people in this country.

01:21:47.740 Making it very clear, I am an advocate for a very, the word robust is so silly because it's only used when you talk about politics, but a robust immigration program in America, immigration system.

01:22:04.020 I believe in immigration.

01:22:05.760 I think immigrants are an attribute to our society.

01:22:08.720 I think it makes us the shining city on the hill.

01:22:11.200 It makes us who we are.

01:22:14.060 That emphatic statement with the great Colossus, the poem at the at the base of the Statue of Liberty that was added there.

01:22:20.680 Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses. 1.00

01:22:23.080 It is emphatic shake your fist at the world statement.

01:22:28.700 And we should live by that.

01:22:31.300 That's my personal belief.

01:22:32.800 That we are better when we have immigrants in our society. 1.00

01:22:37.220 If we shut our doors and we don't allow people in, we become we become then the elite that doesn't let others in. 0.69

01:22:44.540 We give everyone a chance at the American dream.

01:22:46.780 We believe that they add they aren't taking away.

01:22:49.920 Now, there's an element of society that said every generation of immigrant.

01:22:53.120 The difference with this, what's happening right now, the difference, I would say, is that we have a segment of our society, the liberal, not all Democrats, but the very liberal, that believe that illegal immigration is exactly the same as legal immigration, that they all are called migrants.

01:23:12.420 You've got the newly elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that's reminding you that Jesus was an immigrant.

01:23:18.380 And they want to oversimplify and then question.

01:23:22.900 Now they're going to question my faith and call me a hypocrite to my faith because I don't see the illegal immigrants as the same type of refugee that Jesus was.

01:23:39.320 And it's not a fair assessment of what I believe or what probably most of you believe.

01:23:44.980 I can give you firsthand accounts of my interactions throughout my entire life with immigrants.

01:23:53.580 One of my best friends in the entire world is a guy named Adam.

01:23:58.580 We grew up together and I'm visiting my hometown.

01:24:01.460 I saw him just the other day.

01:24:02.620 And we worked together in the trades, but his father, an immigrant, mother, who has passed away, immigrant, father, not necessarily classically educated in schools, but reads and writes and is one of the most brilliant, hardworking businessmen I've ever met.

01:24:22.060 Growing up, that family literally saved my life.

01:24:24.860 And his father went from working in migrant fields to owning migrant fields, what's called a packing house and packing and shipping produce across the country and made a very nice living for his family and for himself.

01:24:40.340 And is now semi-retired, but still works very hard and set an example for his son, who was one of the hardest working people I've ever met and is for his two daughters and their husbands.

01:24:54.500 A very proud, hardworking man that saved his money and lived the American dream.

01:25:00.240 I worked in those fields in the summers.

01:25:07.040 I've been in those fields where the tomatoes are being picked, where you're picking a bucket of tomatoes and you hand it to a guy like me sitting on the edge of a container and dumping the tomatoes in and putting a token in that bucket.

01:25:18.660 And at the end of the day, all those workers cashing in those tokens for money.

01:25:22.100 I've worked on a tomato packing machine where the tomatoes are cleaned and sized and the bad tomatoes are culled out and then the Department of Agriculture inspects and then you load them onto trucks to ship them out for the grocery stores.

01:25:39.380 I've worked in those places.

01:25:41.100 Some of the hardest working, most respectable people I've ever met, none of them ever considered wealthy on any level.

01:25:49.960 These are the the working class. 0.99

01:25:51.880 These are the migrant workers that we talk so much about.

01:25:55.640 So don't lecture me about immigration.

01:25:59.520 I've been surrounded by immigrants my entire life.

01:26:02.160 Mariel Cubans, people from Mexico, people from Central America.

01:26:06.740 I've worked with them in the trades.

01:26:11.100 We, conservatives, we have to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration and make sure the distinction is clear.

01:26:23.700 And what we do and how in what high esteem we hold legal immigrants that do it the right way.

01:26:30.840 The families that come to this country respecting what this country has to offer.

01:26:36.680 Becoming proud Americans and living the American dream.

01:26:39.820 We should applaud it at every chance we get.

01:26:43.260 And then we should turn and say, when you have cop killers mixed in with people that are coming here illegally for noble reasons, we have to end illegal immigration. 1.00

01:26:52.820 Get in line and do it the right way.

01:26:55.560 So Lindsey Graham is posing a one solution to the dreamer issue. 1.00

01:27:01.280 Along with a compromise on the wall funding.

01:27:05.500 But I don't think the Democrats are coming to the table.

01:27:08.520 I don't think there's a chance in the world that the Democrats are coming to the table on this.

01:27:14.580 At least until public opinion turns and they're shown as the obstructionist that they're being.

01:27:19.160 But it's time that people like us stop being lectured on what immigration looks like and being called hypocrites to our faith because we differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.

01:27:34.020 Because we do point out the problem with the system has been immensely pointed out with the death of a police officer who is a legal immigrant.

01:27:43.020 A legal immigrant who became a police officer leaves behind a wife and a five-month-old.

01:27:48.260 Why? Because someone that comes into the country illegally had been arrested multiple times for DUI, was never reported to the federal government for deportation because California's sanctuary laws.

01:28:05.080 I want to give you an analogy about that in a few moments.

01:28:08.800 About the private sector and how it's handled when there's negligence.

01:28:11.900 You're also coming up, also you'll hear a couple of people whose voices you'll recognize and what they've had to say about illegal immigration.

01:28:22.160 And I keep playing it because I want you to hear it multiple times and it's on social media.

01:28:27.660 I'll remind you again.

01:28:31.860 But it's time we stop allowing ourselves to be lectured about being heartless.

01:28:37.740 The heartless ones are the ones that turn their back on what's actually happening.

01:28:41.900 You've got to give kudos where they belong.

01:28:45.600 And the fact is, who was the first person pointing out unaccompanied minors and how they were being herded like cattle?

01:28:51.880 Do you remember who the first person that pointed that out was?

01:28:55.560 It was Glenn Beck.

01:28:58.360 Who was the first person to do something about it?

01:29:01.040 Him and his listeners through the charitable arm of Mercury.

01:29:05.060 A humanitarian mission that had nothing to do, nothing to do with politics, was never mentioned.

01:29:15.940 Supplies, food, clothing, toys.

01:29:22.500 And trying to shine a light on what was happening.

01:29:26.080 It was almost 10 years ago.

01:29:28.680 Almost 10 years ago.

01:29:29.860 And now, the same people that were leading the charge 10 years ago, myself included, we are being lectured by the left and how heartless we are.

01:29:39.780 If that is not a slap in the face, I don't know what is.

01:29:45.040 I won't be lectured because I know where I stand.

01:29:48.840 I know the people.

01:29:49.800 So, it was an immigrant family that saved my life because I was such a disaster of a teenager.

01:29:59.120 It was a proud family that worked hard that put me to work in the summers and showed me what manhood is supposed to look like.

01:30:10.400 Showed me what the leader of a family is supposed to do.

01:30:15.580 Because my father was gone.

01:30:17.120 So, I refuse to be lectured by those that would tell me what immigration is and isn't.

01:30:25.500 I am painfully aware of how the disaster that can come from illegal immigration. 1.00

01:30:32.140 And I am ecstatically aware of the greatness of legal immigration to this country. 0.89

01:30:37.020 In a moment, you'll hear from two former presidents and a current member of the United States Senate what they've said about illegal immigration.

01:30:44.100 And an analogy for you after the death of this police officer.

01:32:10.400 Hey, Happy New Year.

01:32:11.620 I'm Mike Broomhead.

01:32:12.300 In just a short time now for Glenn, before I'm done, it is, let me give you the analogy before we hear anything else.

01:32:19.720 In the private sector, it's fascinating the disaster that it would be if a private company did anything similar to what the government is allowed to get away with.

01:32:30.360 Let me explain.

01:32:32.800 If you own a company, let's say you're a contractor like I was.

01:32:36.680 You own a service contracting company and you have an employee that's working for you that you know was a criminal.

01:32:43.840 Let's say a burglar in his past, her past.

01:32:47.260 And you send that employee to work in people's stores or in people's homes and you know what past this person has.

01:32:57.460 And then as a result of that, this employee of yours is breaking into people's homes that you've sent them into to work. 0.93

01:33:06.500 Or worse yet, you put someone to work that you know is a sexual predator. 0.56

01:33:11.840 And then that employee preys upon someone as an opportunist at a place of business or in someone's home.

01:33:22.020 What do you think is going to happen to you?

01:33:26.000 If a private company, let's go with agriculture.

01:33:31.400 If a company that manufactures food, whether it's beef or it's vegetables.

01:33:37.940 What would happen if you allow tainted food to go into the market and you didn't recall the food and took a chance and people got sick?

01:33:49.980 What do you think the government would do to you?

01:33:53.120 They would shut you down in a minimum.

01:33:54.920 They'd fine you to death and they'd probably lock you up.

01:33:57.680 But the state of California and other places have laws on the books that shield known criminals from federal investigation.

01:34:08.460 But when those individuals that are shielded by sanctuary laws commit worse crimes against people, what's the recourse for the private citizen?

01:34:17.520 This officer, Singh, was murdered by someone who had no business in this country, should have been deported a long time ago because of the crimes he committed.

01:34:31.060 But because of the laws created by the sanctuary city advocates, he's dead.

01:34:38.180 Don't you think that his wife should have some recourse against the people that make those laws? 0.99

01:34:44.440 Should the lawmakers that were in favor of this, do they have blood on their hands?

01:34:50.520 Now, let's be honest.

01:34:51.900 The death of this police officer falls squarely on the shoulders of one person, the murderer.

01:34:58.660 But if you are hiding a murderer and then they commit murder, are you responsible?

01:35:03.360 It's funny, the sheriff arrested five people connected to this guy for lying to them when they were trying to find him.

01:35:16.300 Those people are going to jail because they did not aid in finding this guy.

01:35:22.160 They lied about it.

01:35:25.080 Why is there not a member of the California legislative body that enacted the law that this guy hid behind going to jail?

01:35:33.360 In the private sector, you would go to jail.

01:35:38.320 There are people connected to this guy going to jail for not turning him in and not helping him be turned in.

01:35:46.120 Does anybody not see the irony in this at all?

01:35:54.100 I want you to hear Bill Clinton.

01:35:55.880 It's all over social media.

01:35:57.200 I've put them on all of my social media outlets.

01:35:58.900 Even if you're not following me on Facebook, you can see my pages.

01:36:02.240 The Mike Broomhead Show fan page, you can find it.

01:36:04.920 If you're on Twitter, I'm at Broomhead Show.

01:36:06.980 I've connected to these videos because I want people to see it.

01:36:10.520 These should be front and center.

01:36:12.420 We should be shaming the media into asking these questions.

01:36:15.760 All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. 1.00

01:36:36.460 The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants.

01:36:41.360 The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.

01:36:44.340 That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards,

01:36:51.740 by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

01:37:01.220 In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes,

01:37:07.900 to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan.

01:37:16.220 We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws.

01:37:20.940 It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, 1.00

01:37:30.100 and we must do more to stop it.

01:37:32.840 Not only is he a racist, but how about all those Democrats that were applauding what he just said, right?

01:37:44.700 How is what you just heard from our former president in the 90s at a State of the Union address any different from what you're hearing from this president?

01:37:52.700 My argument on social media with a newspaper reporter in southern Arizona,

01:37:57.080 closer to the border than I am in Phoenix, down in Tucson, says he doesn't see any flip-flop in these videos because Trump is talking about a wall.

01:38:06.220 So they are going to try and say it's the wall aspect.

01:38:10.940 We all are in favor of border security, but the wall and what this is about is if the president says,

01:38:16.620 you show me a better plan on border security than a wall where it's necessary, I want to see it.

01:38:21.620 And if he caves on this, they will use it against him.

01:38:27.160 They're already saying, Mexico is going to pay for it.

01:38:29.200 Now they're not.

01:38:29.920 Now you want us to pay for it.

01:38:31.660 They are going.

01:38:32.480 This is all about politics.

01:38:34.820 We're not done with this.

01:38:36.220 You know, coming up, you'll hear from Barack Obama.

01:38:39.300 At the time was Senator Obama.

01:38:40.840 What the senator had to say about the good people that have done it the right way in America versus the people that did it the absolute wrong way.

01:38:53.940 And wonder why, again, the only place you're hearing this is from me or from talk radio.

01:39:01.660 More of it on the other side.

01:39:03.220 I'm Mike Broomhead.

01:39:04.000 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:39:05.760 Stick around.

01:39:06.260 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:39:11.860 You know, not everybody agrees with me, but even though Bitcoin is down significantly right now,

01:39:16.360 I believe in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's behind them.

01:39:20.460 They're going to play a significant role in our future.

01:39:23.040 And while it may end up in the end being crazy, I'm actually investing more in Bitcoin.

01:39:27.260 It just makes sense that a trackable digital form of money will replace fiat money one day, doesn't it?

01:39:33.640 It's important that you understand these and ask these questions and find the answers because you have a chance right now to invest in this technology before it happens.

01:39:41.960 And if I'm right, and I could be wrong, you could make game changing money from a very small investment.

01:39:47.360 But I want you to do your own homework and begin with Wall Street hedge fund manager Tika Tiwari.

01:39:52.360 He's an expert in the cryptocurrency space.

01:39:54.380 He's created a course that takes you through all of the basics and makes buying or selling of crypto as simple as buying and selling stock.

01:40:01.760 For a limited time, you can take a risk-free 30-day trial of his course by going to smartcryptocourse.com.

01:40:07.380 Do it today, smartcryptocourse.com or call 877-PBL-BECK.

01:40:12.220 All of your favorite voices are now under one roof.

01:40:15.180 It's TheBlazeTV.com.

01:40:17.620 Steven Crowder, Eric Bolling, Mark Levin, me, Hallie Stuckey, all of them.

01:40:21.600 Blaze TV.

01:40:22.140 Hey, Merry Christmas.

01:40:29.080 Happy New Year from the Glenn Beck Program.

01:40:30.760 My name is Mike Broomhead in just a bit longer, and we appreciate you spending part of your day with us.

01:40:36.700 So this is – just to wrap a bow around this before I move on to anything else, I want you to hear one more person.

01:40:41.920 You've heard Bill Clinton now give a huge defense for stopping illegal immigration back in the 90s, demanding Congress give him a budget that does all of the above, that expedites deportation, more border security, all of those things.

01:40:58.680 Chuck Schumer, a very small piece of what Chuck Schumer had to say, the six-minute video I've put up on all of my social media outlets.

01:41:05.880 But former President Obama – now, as Senator Obama, before he was elected president, and even when he was president, there was a time when he was a critic of illegal immigration.

01:41:18.460 As a matter of fact, they boasted about how many more deportations happened under Barack Obama than happened under George W. Bush, that they led the country in deportations, and they changed their tune.

01:41:30.280 And I've got a theory on that, which I'll tell you in a moment, but I want you to hear what Barack Obama sounded like one more time.

01:41:37.540 This is what Barack Obama said of illegal immigrants in comparison to legal immigrants.

01:41:44.280 We all agree on the need to better secure the border and to punish employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants.

01:41:52.760 You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law, and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. 0.94

01:42:08.200 We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country. 1.00

01:42:27.740 So how has it changed? First, let's ask the obvious question.

01:42:31.280 Not the flip-flop of the Democratic Party yet. That's obvious.

01:42:38.940 But what's changed at the border?

01:42:44.900 When he said that, it was before he was president.

01:42:48.920 Now the Democratic Party is indicating that the border is plenty secure.

01:42:54.700 I've got a newspaper reporter in my home state of Arizona, down in Tucson, much closer to the border than where I am, saying he doesn't see a flip-flop from the Democrats.

01:43:08.200 How can you not see a flip-flop?

01:43:10.420 And are you, what's different?

01:43:12.260 What's changed at the border?

01:43:13.900 What did Obama do as president for eight years to fix the problem?

01:43:17.460 If it's fixed, show us it's fixed.

01:43:20.940 Because nobody believes it is.

01:43:22.740 They want to lay this at the feet of Trump, but they don't want to question anybody else who has the power to do something about it.

01:43:31.720 Chuck Schumer is not allowing the Democrats to get the votes needed to get to 60 votes because of the very small majority in the Senate.

01:43:41.760 The holdup is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, period.

01:43:46.040 Nancy Pelosi, to gain the speaker's job, had to cave in to the incoming freshmen, the very progressive. 1.00

01:43:52.420 Not only are they illegal immigration advocates, but these are the abolish ICE advocates that in order for her to get the votes necessary to become speaker again, she had to cut a deal.

01:44:04.380 I believe that to be true.

01:44:06.500 I believe there will be no movement from her on this because the people that are coming in, the freshman class coming in, wants to do what they want to do on the issue and not fix it now.

01:44:16.220 Now, the problem is she doesn't have the power yet, so it's Schumer.

01:44:25.100 This falls on the shoulders of Chuck Schumer and his flip-flop on illegal immigration.

01:44:31.240 Now, why the flip-flop?

01:44:32.820 And here is my two cents on why they're doing it.

01:44:37.120 We know that the labor unions in America give the vast majority, well over 90% of their donations go to Democrat candidates in the Democrat Party.

01:44:48.480 We know that to be true.

01:44:50.840 And for a long time, it was the belief of the Democratic Party from the labor unions that it was illegal immigration that was driving down wages, that it was illegal immigrants.

01:45:02.280 That was the mantra.

01:45:03.460 They're coming in this country and they're stealing jobs from Americans. 1.00

01:45:08.240 And there were those in the Republican Party that said, no, they're not.

01:45:12.160 Illegal immigrants in this country are doing jobs Americans don't want to do. 1.00

01:45:16.200 And the Democratic Party, because of the union, said that's not the case.

01:45:19.660 The labor unions want to drive up the minimum wage because they use the minimum wage as a basis for their negotiation with management, because we all know that minimum wage is largely geared towards non-skilled labor, what's considered non-skilled labor.

01:45:34.500 So labor unions use the minimum wage and say, well, if non-skilled labor or unskilled labor is valued at $12 an hour, then we've got to be at least twice that amount for skilled labor.

01:45:49.940 And so the reasoning behind the Democratic Party and a disdain for illegal immigration was because the mantra was illegal immigrants are coming here at the behest of the evil Republican corporations that are employing illegal immigrants as housekeepers. 0.61

01:46:06.040 And I'm using their words.

01:46:07.080 I'm not I am not pigeonholing or using any kinds of a stereotype.

01:46:11.060 These are the words from the Democrats.

01:46:12.920 They are cleaning your hotel rooms.

01:46:15.400 They are washing your clothes.

01:46:16.820 They are cutting your grass.

01:46:18.440 And all of that is being done in hotels and resorts and places across this country and driving down the wages for Americans was the mantra we heard for a very long time.

01:46:31.040 And then the labor unions, the SEIU and the service industry labor unions decided, you know, what we could do is we could actually become an advocate for these people.

01:46:41.780 If you can't beat them, join them and let's organize them.

01:46:46.540 Let's fight to organize.

01:46:49.940 This could be maybe we're looking at this the wrong way.

01:46:54.740 These could be the next group because we know union membership is down in America.

01:47:00.880 With the exception of some big cities and older cities and states where they're entrenched, the labor unions are down in numbers.

01:47:09.780 Well, how do we get membership up?

01:47:13.360 Well, let's organize the illegals. 0.99

01:47:15.320 Let's get them legal and let's organize them.

01:47:17.740 I don't believe it's just because they vote Democrat.

01:47:20.860 If you look at and I'm again, this is part of a stereotype, I guess.

01:47:25.300 But if you look at the Hispanic voters, you look at Mexico and Central America, largely Catholic, pro-family, anti-abortion, pro-life.

01:47:35.800 They fit a lot socially with what the Republican Party stands for.

01:47:40.240 So I don't think that it's just because they're going to get them to vote Democrat.

01:47:43.880 I think that that's a benefit to a lot of them.

01:47:46.700 But the shift in policy was because of the shift in policy of the labor unions.

01:47:52.220 You don't hear the labor unions screaming about illegal immigration anymore, do you?

01:47:56.660 When was the last time you heard labor unions screaming that illegal immigrants are driving down wages?

01:48:01.680 So it's my theory that this is tied to that mantra.

01:48:12.000 They have flipped 180 degrees on the illegal immigration issue.

01:48:15.540 And the funny thing is, of the three groups of people crossing the border, one would be those that are coming here to work for noble reasons.

01:48:24.440 The other would be criminals looking to prey upon the United States, you know, the wealthy Americans.

01:48:29.560 And the other would be terrorists.

01:48:31.680 The least feared are the only ones they're paying attention to, which are the people coming to work.

01:48:38.660 Like Lindsey Graham's idea of a guest worker program or not a guest worker of the 700,000 people being guaranteed under Dreamer and acting, making the Dream Act law, then morph that into a guest worker program does some good things.

01:48:57.060 But it does nothing to secure the border from the two things that are the most dangerous, the criminals and the terrorists.

01:49:03.320 All this talk today about illegal immigration, it starts with a cop killer that should have been reported and deported and was not.

01:49:16.740 But what about as we speak?

01:49:19.000 Because that guy snuck in through my home state of Arizona, where I've said is the most poorest part of the U.S. border.

01:49:24.760 Haven't even mentioned today the amount of opioids and fentanyl and methamphetamines that are being brought across our border as we speak.

01:49:38.000 Right now.

01:49:39.740 The drug cartels setting up shop on top of the hills in the Zvico Valley in Arizona, and they are watching law enforcement and reporting the movement of law enforcement over the radio to their cartel members.

01:49:51.660 Law enforcement in Arizona, listening to radio chatter, talking about their location.

01:50:01.340 Being watched by the cartels in the hills.

01:50:05.940 Directing their cartels away from rival cartels that would rob them and law enforcement that would take them to jail.

01:50:12.840 It still happens every single day as we speak.

01:50:20.200 And no one's doing anything about it.

01:50:23.620 No one is doing a thing about it.

01:50:26.400 And yet they want to lay it at the feet of the president.

01:50:29.580 They'll talk about two children that have died in custody, which is horrible.

01:50:33.240 I absolutely agree.

01:50:34.740 It's horrible.

01:50:37.260 Children should be safe in our custody.

01:50:39.380 Children should be safe in America, even if we disagree that they're here, even if their parents brought them here and shouldn't.

01:50:46.380 Whatever those reasons are, children should be safe in America.

01:50:49.600 But while you're screaming from the rooftops about two children that have died, how about a legal immigrant with a wife at a five month old who died because an illegal immigrant was hiding behind sanctuary laws in California?

01:51:00.820 And it cost a legal immigrant his life and his family, their husband and father.

01:51:05.860 How about equal time?

01:51:09.200 Too much to ask, I guess.

01:51:12.260 So Chuck Todd throws down the gauntlet.

01:51:14.340 You'll hear about this in a moment.

01:51:16.080 A shift in gears before we finish it out.

01:51:18.440 My way to laugh in the new year.

01:51:20.660 What Chuck Todd is proving that I've been saying for a long time, that the media is not interested in reporting.

01:51:26.500 They are interested in indoctrinating all of that right around the corner.

01:51:30.060 My name is Mike Broomhead.

01:51:31.320 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:51:38.940 Hey, happy new year.

01:51:40.060 My name is Mike Broomhead in just a few more minutes for Glenn.

01:51:42.540 Always appreciate the time.

01:51:47.120 The media not looking to tell, report a story.

01:51:51.900 They're looking to be the story.

01:51:53.300 They want to create a narrative.

01:51:54.740 Chuck Todd.

01:51:56.140 I don't know if you consider Chuck Todd a journalist.

01:51:58.300 He considers himself a journalist.

01:52:00.100 They do.

01:52:01.320 And the reason I guess maybe I do have a little bit of a bone to pick because, you know, you do talk radio.

01:52:06.780 We are the we are the stepchildren.

01:52:08.300 We just are.

01:52:09.380 We are the less than in some people's minds because, of course, we're just right wing hate radio.

01:52:13.960 Because if you've listened to me the last few days, I'm very hateful in the things I say.

01:52:19.040 Chuck Todd has decided that he is no longer going to give any airtime to climate change deniers.

01:52:29.820 So it isn't about whether I mean, even when you disagree bringing someone on.

01:52:34.540 And I'm not a big fan of Bill Maher necessarily, but I think he's a very smart guy.

01:52:39.400 He brings people on the disagree.

01:52:42.360 And it's it's fun to see.

01:52:45.520 I am responding via social media again before I shamelessly plug my social media again at Broomhead show on Twitter.

01:52:52.740 The Mike Broomhead show fan page on Facebook or Mike Broomhead, all one word on Instagram.

01:52:59.300 I interact with the people that disagree.

01:53:01.140 As long as you're not calling people names and being hateful, I will debate and have a good time doing it.

01:53:07.840 I'm I like it.

01:53:09.480 I think it's the best thing about us is we can have a civil debate.

01:53:13.720 Chuck Todd not going if you deny climate deniers are out.

01:53:16.620 Jerry Brown, the California governor, says climate change challenges are as serious as those we faced in World War Two.

01:53:27.480 Those are the only kinds of people Chuck Todd will allow on his show anymore.

01:53:33.380 That's what I mean when I say to you, nobody with a differing opinion gets on.

01:53:38.520 You are demonized.

01:53:39.820 You are pushed to the side.

01:53:41.100 You are marginalized.

01:53:42.560 Your intellect is questioned.

01:53:44.400 You're called a flat earther.

01:53:45.860 If you dare question what they believe or how they believe it.

01:53:50.900 I think the earth changes all the time.

01:53:55.580 I think it's they say it's arrogant for us to believe we can act the way we do and not have consequences.

01:54:00.520 And I believe it's arrogant to think that the things we are doing are going to make such drastic changes in our climate.

01:54:07.640 I want clean air.

01:54:08.980 I want clean water.

01:54:10.600 I want the forests to remain.

01:54:13.320 I want the animals to remain.

01:54:14.860 You're not going to find people that are more pro-forest, pro-animal, pro-game than hunters.

01:54:21.580 For people that hunt, it is a generational thing.

01:54:26.320 Grandfathers taking their grandsons and daughters out.

01:54:29.220 Grandparents taking their grandchildren to the same hunting spots in generations of stories.

01:54:34.320 They have an invested interest, a vested interest in making sure that those herds remain very, very solid.

01:54:42.300 I have four grandsons, the youngest of which is one year old.

01:54:48.600 I have a vested interest in making sure that where I live, we have clean air and clean water.

01:54:54.360 But Chuck Todd, if you're a climate denier, no longer on his show.

01:55:00.660 Which I find to be brilliant.

01:55:04.880 That shows you that it's not about reporting.

01:55:08.300 This is what so-and-so is saying, but the other side is saying this.

01:55:12.940 The Republicans want this done and the Democrats want that.

01:55:16.240 This is about indoctrination.

01:55:18.180 If you don't believe what I believe, we will never let you hear it.

01:55:20.960 Not on this show.

01:55:22.360 That's what they're doing.

01:55:24.960 Just about out of time, I want to remind you, I wrote a book. 0.94

01:55:27.620 And it's called, If You're Gonna Be Dumb, You Better Be Tough.

01:55:29.720 You can find it on Amazon if you'd like to check out and learn a little bit more about my weirdness.

01:55:33.820 It's all in the book.

01:55:34.620 It's kind of fun.

01:55:35.360 And I invite you to do it.

01:55:36.280 I want to say thank you to everybody involved here, especially for those of you that are listening.

01:55:39.600 I maintain my own social media accounts.

01:55:41.380 Feel free to reach out to me at any time.

01:55:44.080 Because I like to interact with people all of the time.

01:55:47.280 So at Broomhead Show on Twitter, the Mike Broomhead Show fan page on Facebook.

01:55:50.540 Or Mike Broomhead, all one word, on Instagram.

01:55:52.680 It is always a pleasure and an honor to be in on the Glenn Beck program.

01:55:56.840 Hope you're going to have a great new year.

01:55:58.160 Hope your year has been as blessed as mine has been.

01:56:00.500 And looking forward to a great 2019 as always with you.
