The Glenn Beck Program - What Has Happened to Us？｜ Guests： Andrew Heaton & Sen. Ben Sasse

00:00:00.000 First, our sponsor of this half hour is Real Estate Agents I Trust.

00:00:05.520 We want to... Real Estate Agents I Trust was developed by me and my wife and my brother

00:00:12.860 as a side business, really, that was not really a business.

00:00:16.720 It was just, can we just connect people to great real estate agents?

00:00:21.220 Because I've done work with real estate agents, some of the best real estate agents,

00:00:24.840 according to the Wall Street Journal, all around the country for years.

00:00:27.960 And I wanted to put the ones that have the same values that you have together with you.

00:00:33.620 Sell your house fast and for the most amount of money with realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:00:38.720 Go there now, realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:00:43.260 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:00:46.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:49.240 The Virginia abortion bill failed, but that's only because one of the co-sponsors said,

00:00:55.080 I have to admit, I'm new here and I trusted people and I didn't read the bill.

00:01:02.460 And I don't want anything to do with this bill.

00:01:05.620 It goes way too far.

00:01:07.900 I'll give you the update on that and what our responsibility is now.

00:01:13.040 Also, Ben Sass will be joining us today.

00:01:16.300 And Pat Gray joins me as we begin the show in one minute.

00:01:20.520 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:25.640 We've cleared all of the commercials out of this first half hour, those long commercial breaks.

00:01:31.460 We only stopped for one minute twice this time.

00:01:35.320 And here's the first one.

00:01:36.440 And it's our sponsor, Filter By.

00:01:38.360 Getting sick has nothing to do with putting a hat on.

00:01:42.560 You know, our mothers used to say, put a hat on, you're going to get sick.

00:01:45.560 That's not why we get sick.

00:01:47.720 We actually get sick because we spend too much time inside, mom.

00:01:52.760 In the winter, we spend so much time inside and the air.

00:01:57.320 It's like living inside of an airplane for months.

00:02:02.700 Of course, you're going to get sick.

00:02:04.220 The air is sick itself.

00:02:05.940 It's not getting any fresh air.

00:02:08.360 That's why we get sick.

00:02:09.440 And the best thing you can do is change your filters.

00:02:12.320 Do it now.

00:02:13.740 Filterby.com.

00:02:14.820 They're going to help you do it.

00:02:15.740 You're going to save money.

00:02:16.680 You'll also save an extra 5% if you ask them to make it even more convenient for you.

00:02:23.560 It's amazing to me that you'll save 5% if you sign up for automatic delivery.

00:02:29.460 What that means is you don't ever have to think about it again.

00:02:32.300 It'll just arrive at your doorstep and you'll say, oh, crap, already?

00:02:36.920 Time to change the filter.

00:02:38.160 And you go up, change the filter, throw the old one away, and you're done.

00:02:42.060 Never think about it again.

00:02:43.560 Filterby.com.

00:02:45.600 For a healthier winter, it's filterby.com.

00:02:49.760 There's a great article today at glennbeck.com written.

00:03:07.320 Well, I just, I want you just to listen to it.

00:03:10.980 It was written by a friend of mine who you may know, and I didn't know his story until he wrote to me.

00:03:19.540 He said, Glenn, I'm sick to my stomach today.

00:03:22.120 There are moments of clarity in all of our lives, and hopefully you experience such a thing more than just once.

00:03:29.440 But on Wednesday afternoon on my drive home in Raleigh, North Carolina, I was listening to a recap of the week's news on the radio.

00:03:38.420 What I heard was that a lawmaker in Virginia had brought forward a bill to expand abortion access and remove restrictions on the procedure currently in place in the state.

00:03:50.960 The reporter said, you'd expect this sort of legislation in New York or California, but it seems out of character for the state of Virginia.

00:03:57.960 My fingers slowly tightened around the steering wheel.

00:04:02.440 Audio played of Kathy Tran, a delegate from Fairfax County, explaining the substance of the repeal act to her colleagues on the floor.

00:04:11.520 I don't know about this moment or this bill, and I don't know why it drew out such a strong reaction from me.

00:04:19.000 After all, the state of New York just passed a very similar measure only a week ago, and I went on with my day.

00:04:25.560 But this afternoon, my vision blurred and my stomach tightened.

00:04:31.620 Something was wrong, and I could feel the most subtle shockwaves going up my arms to my neck, discomfort and rapid breathing.

00:04:41.500 I got through the next stoplight, and I pulled the car over.

00:04:44.540 I turned it off, and I just sat there for a few minutes, focusing on my breath.

00:04:49.420 I've never experienced this.

00:04:51.840 I think this was a moment of clarity.

00:04:55.560 The realization of a lie.

00:04:59.200 If you're hearing this, you need to know the backstory.

00:05:04.320 Governor Ralph Northam recently joined WTOP Radio in Washington, D.C., and was asked about the abortion bill, dubbed the Repeal Act,

00:05:13.620 which had been causing a stir in the state for a better part of a week.

00:05:16.320 But one of his answers was, quote, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen.

00:05:22.420 The infant would be delivered.

00:05:24.540 The infant would be kept comfortable.

00:05:27.540 The infant would be resuscitated.

00:05:30.020 If that's what the mother and family desired.

00:05:33.240 Then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother on what to do.

00:05:40.620 The bill, sponsored by Delegate Kathy Tran of Fairfax County, would allow women to get abortions up until the point of birth,

00:05:49.780 if their physical or mental health are considered at risk.

00:05:54.260 To put a fine point on it, Tran was questioned about her bill earlier this week and expressed that it offered no limits on when the abortion could be carried out,

00:06:03.680 including when the mother is dilated and about to give birth.

00:06:08.820 It reduces the number of doctors required to approve termination from three to one,

00:06:14.340 and it lowers the bar significantly for the severity of the health risk.

00:06:20.140 Now we are talking about the impairment of mental health in addition to the mother's physical health.

00:06:27.860 What does that even mean?

00:06:29.700 Well, making things vague is the point.

00:06:35.460 Something I didn't see coming in the abortion debate, but I'm guessing pro-lifers probably saw it a million miles back.

00:06:42.900 Was that where this was headed the whole time?

00:06:49.820 The first time I had the slightest idea, the slightest thought that the case for abortion might expand to having virtually no boundaries,

00:06:57.660 was when the discourse on college campuses began to blend mental and physical harm into a single thing.

00:07:05.400 When is speech violence?

00:07:07.140 Was a New York Times article in 2017, and it was actually my first hint.

00:07:11.300 The piece described the science behind the stress and how challenges to the nervous system in the form of hurtful or abusive speech

00:07:19.500 can cause long-lasting physical harm.

00:07:22.000 And I remember thinking to myself about that talking point in cases of physical harm to the mother.

00:07:28.460 But I moved on with my day.

00:07:30.820 On the question of abortion, I have failed the test each time that I can think of for a litany of reasons that all boil down to cowardice.

00:07:41.300 I believe in God.

00:07:43.320 I believe God tests us daily in our lives.

00:07:45.980 On the question of abortion, I have failed the test.

00:07:51.920 My wife and I are both proud parents of an eight-year-old girl.

00:07:55.980 She's the light of our lives and brilliant.

00:07:58.600 And I will likely never forgive myself on how I reacted when my then-college girlfriend, now-wife, came to me and told me she was pregnant.

00:08:08.380 I was a 20-year-old pro-life Republican, fair-weather Christian, and she was my liberal girlfriend who didn't see the world on my way on just about anything.

00:08:21.740 My thought process was then, well, obviously, she'll handle it and this will go away.

00:08:27.560 So, with my head down, I asked her if that was her plan.

00:08:31.380 It was most definitely not.

00:08:35.300 The idea quite offended her, and she walked out.

00:08:40.160 I failed the biggest test of my young life.

00:08:43.260 I like to think I made it right by later stepping up and forming the family that I now have and cherish.

00:08:49.620 It took a lot of work on both of our parts, but after that, my view on abortion changed to match my previous failure.

00:08:55.660 I decided that I was pro-choice, because how could I champion the right to life when I turned away from it in the moment of my being tested?

00:09:05.120 This new view shielded me from another layer of shame, that of hypocrisy.

00:09:11.640 Gradually, other pressing issues led me away from being conservative to being libertarian, an identification I still hold on to and believe to be correct.

00:09:20.160 In fact, abortion is still very much in debate in libertarian circles, as it has been for quite some time, whereas it's settled for conservatives and progressives.

00:09:30.460 I found comfort in the hand-wringing and uncertainty of the libertarian viewpoint.

00:09:37.780 In order to detach myself from the outcome of America's abortion debate, I had to assume three things.

00:09:43.560 First, that they were sincere in the argument that the survival of the mother was of utmost concern to the pro-choice crowd.

00:09:53.460 Second, that the valid debate over when life begins wouldn't be allowed by courts to extend past the time of birth.

00:10:02.140 Third, that while late-term abortions are generally rare and unpopular,

00:10:06.700 the legality of the practice was not going to extend beyond the most progressive corners of America.

00:10:13.560 The quick rise and fall of the Repeal Act in Virginia unravels all of these things.

00:10:20.060 I taught myself to believe about the abortion debate, that it had boundaries,

00:10:26.600 that it was about people trying to defend life in exceptional circumstances,

00:10:31.000 both on the side of advocacy for the unborn and the women carrying them.

00:10:36.040 But it's simply not true.

00:10:40.340 And this week, I saw it.

00:10:43.560 The radicalized left in 2019, supported by a new wave of true believers

00:10:49.320 who consider physical and mental harm to be entirely subjective concepts,

00:10:55.240 is not going to stop expanding the religion of choice.

00:11:00.360 Governor Northam made it clear in his admission that the fates of children could be decided on

00:11:06.520 after the fact of their birth.

00:11:09.220 This wasn't a slip-up or miscommunication.

00:11:12.980 It was the mask coming off an ideology of death that had now been mainstreamed.

00:11:20.400 I just didn't have the courage and clarity to confront it.

00:11:25.480 Sitting on the side of the road with the keys in my ignition,

00:11:28.980 I wondered if this is what being convicted by God actually feels like.

00:11:35.100 I have prayed for countless years for the spirit to move me in a way it moves some members of my family,

00:11:41.720 when all I've ever felt is silence in my faith.

00:11:48.420 Now you might say I just had a panic attack.

00:11:50.740 I would say it was given to me, and I thank God for giving it to me.

00:11:58.760 Kathy Tran and Governor Northam revealed the sidelines are no longer the place where I belong.

00:12:06.420 My hope for moderation and wisdom from public officials has not stopped the worst ideas on abortion from being realized and spread.

00:12:16.900 Eventually, more state legislatures will be faced with similar bills that blur the lines of what divines harm.

00:12:24.940 David French wrote in the National Review that the onset of anxiety, depression,

00:12:29.240 the fear of postpartum, will soon be tried as reasons for young life to be terminated.

00:12:36.360 He's right.

00:12:40.060 I started my engine, and I decided I am now joining the movement to defend the sanctity of life.

00:12:48.580 If you've ever been on the sidelines on this, I hope you'll now join me.

00:12:54.340 Never more than 60 seconds away from the show.

00:14:49.020 Jeez, I hope I didn't realize.

00:14:50.740 I thought it was next hour.

00:14:51.700 I hope I haven't made the senator wait too long.

00:14:53.900 Ben Sasse is on the phone with us now.

00:14:56.320 Senator, how are you, sir?

00:14:58.300 Is he there?

00:15:01.660 Hey, now a technical problem.

00:15:04.020 This is not going well.

00:15:07.140 Senator.

00:15:07.820 Hey, he's just a U.S. senator, though.

00:15:08.680 Just a U.S. senator.

00:15:09.460 That's the good thing.

00:15:10.080 No big deal.

00:15:11.400 Not a problem.

00:15:13.320 Senator, are you there, sir?

00:15:15.820 I am.

00:15:16.720 Okay.

00:15:17.080 I've enjoyed the last segment and your ads, so I'm happy to sit here and wait for a while.

00:15:21.500 Okay, I am so sorry to make you wait.

00:15:23.360 No worries.

00:15:24.120 No worries.

00:15:24.560 So, I have to commend you for the way you have handled this.

00:15:30.500 You, can we please play the quick quote from Ben Sasse that came out yesterday, please?

00:15:36.660 Let's be really clear about what we're talking about here.

00:15:41.020 We're talking about fourth trimester abortion, or what anyone in the normal world calls infanticide.

00:15:48.500 That's what we're talking about.

00:15:50.020 And the governor of Virginia has been defending this all day yesterday and again today, going out and trying to equivocate and qualify and then double down and again say he wants to defend this practice, which is infanticide.

00:16:02.440 Everyone in the Senate ought to be able to say unequivocally that killing that little baby is wrong.

00:16:08.480 This doesn't take any political courage.

00:16:11.260 And if you can't say that, if there's a member of this body that can't say that, there may be lots of work you can do in the world, but you shouldn't be here.

00:16:19.180 You should get the heck out of any calling in public life where you pretend to care about the most vulnerable among us.

00:16:25.680 You, I was reading last night about Colonial America and abortions, and you sound like Lord Baltimore.

00:16:32.720 He said that very thing about somebody who was in government who was involved in an abortion.

00:16:39.960 And he said, get out.

00:16:41.500 You have no place in public service.

00:16:44.240 Thank you for that.

00:16:45.800 Can you tell me what has happened to us?

00:16:50.320 What is going on with these abortion bills?

00:16:53.460 I honestly don't.

00:16:56.320 I don't know.

00:16:57.060 I can't understand what is going on in Virginia, in New York.

00:17:01.620 I guess there are some other states in New England looking at this crap.

00:17:04.140 Two others.

00:17:05.100 Yeah, this is how far the radical pro-abortion lobby has driven this conversation.

00:17:09.000 Fifteen years ago, 20 years ago, Bill Clinton's argument was, well, abortion's bad, but we can't make everything bad illegal.

00:17:16.940 And so we need abortion.

00:17:18.400 This is Bill Clinton talking.

00:17:19.520 We need safe and legal, but we want it to be rare.

00:17:22.220 Now they're talking about keeping a baby comfortable while doctors stand around and have a debate about infanticide.

00:17:28.140 It is truly bizarre what Governor Northam is out there defending.

00:17:31.260 So I want to believe that this is some sort of game that the Democrats are playing to get their side worked up for the next election.

00:17:46.380 They're going to turn it into the right is going to just try to take away all right to for women and women's bodies or that they are just trying to move the Overton window and be so crazy that we're all like, OK, come on.

00:18:03.300 First term, you know, you know, first trimester abortions.

00:18:06.520 I mean, I think we all agree on that, but I don't think so.

00:18:10.300 I think I think this is evil.

00:18:13.140 I think this is gone.

00:18:14.780 I think some of these people who are at the top of the Democratic Party really do believe what Peter Singer teaches.

00:18:24.760 And that is, you have a right until this child really sees and recognizes that there is a tomorrow.

00:18:31.460 You have a right to kill it.

00:18:34.880 Yeah, I don't.

00:18:36.340 I'm one of eight people I think in the Senate who's never been a politician before, so I'm not going to pretend I'm any good political prognosticator.

00:18:42.700 I don't know where all these motives come from, but I know that I know that the pro-life movement is going to win eventually because it's on the side of dignity.

00:18:53.620 It's on the side of science.

00:18:55.300 It's on the side of love.

00:18:56.680 And there's all sorts of legislative stuff we need to do.

00:18:59.340 I'm the I'm the lead sponsor in the Senate for the last three years of the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

00:19:04.980 We're going to try to move some expedited expedited for consideration of that on Monday.

00:19:09.640 But the most important thing we can do in this movement is continue talking with our friends and our family and women who are going through unbelievably hard circumstances often and keep telling the truth and love because these are babies.

00:19:23.420 And it's really not that complicated to celebrate human dignity and to talk about these babies.

00:19:29.600 And we've got Governor Northam out there just cowardly ducking again and again, you know, unwilling to say that it's wrong to leave a newborn baby to die cold and alone.

00:19:41.440 Senator, this is the first time I've seen politics go like this, where this is this is not it doesn't feel like this is a campaign kind of thing.

00:19:57.420 This feels like a turning point in American history.

00:20:01.940 And I'm I'm a little shocked that more people aren't up in arms about this and aren't standing up even from the Democratic side, because I don't think the Democratic voter, the voters in Nebraska that vote for Democrats, they don't believe this stuff.

00:20:18.860 But they're being told if you and you'll see it online, the social media spin is, oh, that's not true.

00:20:28.140 It's not like that in the bills. And that's not what this means.

00:20:32.000 And it is in the bill.

00:20:33.560 It is what we're talking about here should be so far beyond Republican and Democratic politics.

00:20:40.120 We're talking about the fact that if you can't say it's wrong to leave a baby to die when that baby survived an abortion, you have no place in public life.

00:20:50.020 This is not complicated.

00:20:51.940 And frankly, now that the Democratic Party, some of their leaders, not all of them, but some of their leaders have started to do this.

00:20:59.220 I think every single Democrat in America should have to answer whether or not they're with those little baby girls or whether there was Governor Cuomo and Governor Northam.

00:21:06.540 It frightens me, knowing history, that even the Germans, the people who voted for Hitler, when they found out infanticide was happening, they stood up against the T4 program.

00:21:18.600 Then it just was hidden.

00:21:19.960 But they forced Hitler to say, oh, you're right.

00:21:22.340 We wouldn't do that.

00:21:23.280 We shouldn't do that.

00:21:24.560 I mean, those people, they were crazy and they stood up against it.

00:21:28.660 And we seem to be kind of quiet about it.

00:21:31.040 Yeah, I don't think, though, that even Planned Parenthood's PR army and a national media that's decidedly pro-abortion, I don't think that even that grouping is going to be able to duck the fact that what we're talking about here is infanticide.

00:21:44.780 I hope so.

00:21:45.260 When you hear Northam's comments on that radio show yesterday where he says, oh, you know, people should know that I'm sure that the baby will be kept warm and comfortable for a little bit.

00:21:54.720 Oh, my gosh.

00:21:55.300 Until we kill it.

00:21:56.380 We'll have to debate about infanticide.

00:21:57.980 Oh, my gosh.

00:21:58.760 Okay.

00:21:59.500 Senator, I've got a break.

00:22:00.720 If you have to go, I understand.

00:22:02.480 If you can, hold on.

00:22:03.400 I'd like to continue a conversation with you.

00:22:05.440 But thank you.

00:22:06.820 Thank you.

00:22:07.600 Thank you for being a voice of reason.

00:22:09.980 And once again, standing up and saying the right things.

00:22:17.740 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

00:22:21.580 All right.

00:22:22.140 I want to talk to you about X chair, X chair.

00:22:25.260 The I mean, you can get the.

00:22:27.180 Well, Pat, you have a crappy chair in your studio.

00:22:29.860 Yes.

00:22:30.460 Yes, I do.

00:22:31.020 Yes, you do.

00:22:31.820 How do you like this one?

00:22:33.340 Much better.

00:22:34.080 Yeah.

00:22:34.280 Much better.

00:22:34.900 Awesome.

00:22:35.440 We should get you an X chair.

00:22:36.780 I mean, you have a bad back.

00:22:38.080 Yeah.

00:22:38.560 Then again, you know, they're not that expensive.

00:22:41.360 You could get an X chair.

00:22:42.880 Well, yes.

00:22:44.220 I'm considering it.

00:22:45.500 Yes.

00:22:46.500 An X chair.

00:22:47.640 The office chairs are not all the same.

00:22:50.040 And I don't know if you've ever said back in this, but lean back all the way.

00:22:53.780 I think this is as comfortable.

00:22:55.920 Well, maybe Stu doesn't have it.

00:22:57.220 So you can lean all the way back.

00:22:58.420 Oh, he doesn't have it like yours.

00:22:59.500 Oh, yeah, man.

00:23:00.180 I need that adjustment.

00:23:01.320 It is nice.

00:23:02.240 It is as comfortable as like a recliner.

00:24:05.860 And I'm doing it to prepare you to be able to go out with your friends and have these conversations.

00:24:12.980 I hear people saying that's not true.

00:24:16.180 That's not what's in the bill.

00:24:17.540 I also hear people saying, I wish I had this factor.

00:24:21.000 That fact.

00:24:21.660 I can.

00:24:21.980 I can't ever remember the stats.

00:24:23.620 Oh, I wish you were there when when I was having this conversation with my friend.

00:24:28.500 I'm going to make it very easy for you on Monday to be able to pretty much have the resources that I have at your disposal at any time.

00:24:38.780 On this issue, we have entered a new era.

00:24:44.020 We have entered a very dark period.

00:24:46.640 And I believe the beginning of the time where I have said, if we if we go dark, we will be worse than the Nazis.

00:24:55.860 We will make the Nazis look like rookies.

00:25:00.040 And the reason why I say that is because we have technology.

00:25:03.940 It was barbaric to try to change somebody's eyes to blue, but now it's not so barbaric because we can gene splice.

00:25:13.800 But it wasn't it wasn't just the idea of, well, they had to inject ink into eyes.

00:25:20.260 It was that you don't want to create a super race.

00:25:25.140 What are we doing?

00:25:26.640 And now we're talking about euthanasia on one end and infanticide on the other end.

00:25:33.940 And we're going to a single payer health care system.

00:25:37.160 That's it is in the cards, gang.

00:25:40.280 We're going that direction.

00:25:42.700 And if that happens, you have nothing to rely on except the state.

00:25:47.360 And when the state is misbehaving, where do you go?

00:25:51.560 Who do you call?

00:25:53.820 Who's going to stop the state from doing things?

00:25:57.060 I want to show you and bring Pat into the conversation.

00:26:03.520 Pat, we have been together for 30 years.

00:26:07.900 Yeah.

00:26:08.680 Have you seen anything this disturbing ever?

00:26:12.820 I don't I don't think so.

00:26:14.080 We used to remember when we found bioethicist Peter Singer from Princeton.

00:26:18.840 Yes.

00:26:19.080 And the things he said, like, it'd be OK to to put children down to kill them up until two years old, two years old.

00:26:27.780 But then he apologized.

00:26:29.040 Do you remember that?

00:26:29.900 Yeah, he did.

00:26:30.620 He apologized.

00:26:31.500 And he said it wasn't far enough.

00:26:33.700 Yes.

00:26:34.640 I'm sorry.

00:26:35.320 I shouldn't have put the two year age limit on that.

00:26:38.240 That's ridiculous.

00:26:39.100 It's crazy.

00:26:39.940 And we thought, OK, this is this guy is out of his mind.

00:26:44.380 He's crazy or he's just trying to make a point and get people to think.

00:26:49.520 But I think he's crazy.

00:26:51.440 And now you've got governors of states agreeing with him, essentially, by saying you can kill a baby after it's born.

00:26:59.840 Did you ever think we'd get there?

00:27:01.060 I didn't ever want to talk about.

00:27:02.800 You want to talk about trigger language.

00:27:04.440 You want to talk about ideas that can trigger people.

00:27:09.600 What about this?

00:27:10.700 Is this not traumatizing?

00:27:12.600 Now, I say we have this debate.

00:27:14.580 We have to.

00:27:15.720 But if you go by their rules, this is traumatizing to even even suggest that women have the right to kill their newborn baby.

00:27:25.520 But it's not traumatizing to the left.

00:27:28.920 And I'm not talking about the I'm not talking about the Democrats in the in the middle of the country.

00:27:35.560 I do not believe that they are for this.

00:27:39.300 In fact, almost every poll taken shows that only the most hardcore of hardcore believe this 15 percent of the pro choice people.

00:27:52.440 OK, so so if 25 percent of pro choice, 15 percent overall, you're right.

00:27:57.800 25 percent of the pro choice people or I'm sorry, overall, 15 percent of the choice to pro choice.

00:28:05.440 So that is not anywhere close to the majority of people.

00:28:10.640 Now, maybe the people in your neighborhood do believe in fantaside.

00:28:14.580 I don't think they do no matter who they vote for.

00:28:17.600 But this isn't disturbing to the Uber left.

00:28:21.880 And let me give you a couple of examples.

00:28:24.840 First, let me go to the extremes, the Bernadine Dorn and the Bill Ayers of the world.

00:28:31.520 Do you remember this audio from the FBI agent that had infiltrated the weather underground?

00:28:39.960 Listen, I brought up the subject of what's going to happen after we take over the government.

00:28:44.380 First, you know, we we become responsible then for administrating, you know, 250 million people.

00:28:53.940 And there was no answers.

00:28:56.260 No one had given any thought to economics.

00:28:59.500 How are you going to clothe and feed these people?

00:29:01.700 The only thing that I could get was that they expected that the Cubans and the North Vietnamese and the Chinese and the Russians would all want to occupy different portions of the United States.

00:29:14.140 They also believed that their immediate responsibility would be to protect against what they called the counterrevolution.

00:29:19.880 And they felt that this counterrevolution could best be guarded against by creating and establishing re-education centers in the Southwest where we would take all the people who needed to be re-educated into the new way of thinking and teach them how things were going to be.

00:29:43.060 I asked, well, what is going to happen to those people that we can't re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?

00:29:51.080 And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.

00:29:55.080 And when I pursued this further, they estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these re-education centers.

00:30:03.720 And when I say eliminate, I mean kill 25 million people.

00:30:07.860 So this has been a part of the uber-left philosophy for a long time.

00:30:15.160 This is what communists do, quite honestly.

00:30:18.740 And you're seeing now the mask come off and people claiming they're socialists.

00:30:23.920 But they're really not socialists.

00:30:25.800 They're not Swedish socialists because that's not a socialist country.

00:30:30.160 Venezuela is a socialist country.

00:30:32.360 Sweden is a capitalist country with a gigantic welfare state.

00:30:39.120 And while that flirts with socialism, that is a capitalist country with a welfare state attached to it.

00:30:50.700 That's us.

00:30:52.880 Socialists always have to go down the road of seizing assets, taking things that aren't theirs, and paying for these things.

00:31:02.160 And when that money runs out, well, what are you going to do?

00:31:05.920 You have to start eliminating people.

00:31:08.100 You have to start eliminating those who are fighting against you because the state is supreme.

00:31:13.800 Remember, it was the Barack Obama science czar, John Holdren, who also in the 1970s, when it was okay to think like this,

00:31:24.600 said we should put sterilants in the drinking water.

00:31:32.160 Of the United States.

00:31:35.480 And it was okay.

00:31:37.200 Why was it okay?

00:31:38.420 Well, if you believe that man is a virus, if you believe that man is responsible for global warming,

00:31:44.440 if you believe that the earth just cannot handle this many people,

00:31:49.160 it's your moral and responsible thing to do to kill people, to save the collective.

00:31:57.460 So the individual no longer matters.

00:32:01.200 And if you think that it might just be tolerable to just the crazies,

00:32:09.060 here is the guy that everybody says would win against Donald Trump.

00:32:16.700 Talking about China.

00:32:18.960 Joe Biden.

00:32:19.320 The one-child policy has been one, which I fully understand, I'm not second-guessing, of one child per family.

00:32:25.380 Oh.

00:32:25.780 The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people.

00:32:32.720 So he's not, he understands the one-child policy.

00:32:39.780 Well, what, why does he understand that?

00:32:41.800 Well, because their population is too big and it's unsustainable.

00:32:45.620 So what does the one-child policy mean?

00:32:48.620 Well, you have to indoctrinate people to believe that they have a right to only one child.

00:32:54.020 And if they do have a second child, the state can come in and story after story proves it to be true,

00:33:02.040 that they can come in and take that child and drown it in the front of the house in a rice paddy and move on.

00:33:10.600 Because life has no meaning.

00:33:13.380 It also includes forced abortions and sterilization of the people.

00:33:17.720 Sure does.

00:33:18.500 And what happens to the people?

00:33:20.100 They go so dead inside.

00:33:21.660 Do you remember the video of the truck that hit a child and killed the child in the streets of China?

00:33:29.900 And it was captured by a video camera up on a building and people just walked by the dead body?

00:33:39.380 Yeah.

00:33:40.120 The kid was so desensitized.

00:33:41.940 So desensitized to life and death that it meant nothing.

00:33:47.840 This is how you get there.

00:33:51.660 All these warnings over the years that talk about Nazi Germany, it was never that we are currently Nazi Germany.

00:34:01.220 It is, hey, this, you know, Germany started somewhere, too.

00:34:05.940 Germany started with policies that at first people thought, eh, that's not going to happen.

00:34:11.120 And then they'd be enacted.

00:34:12.140 And then they went to the next step and then the next step.

00:34:15.360 And before long, they were these evil leaders and completely out of control.

00:34:23.300 And it was too late for anybody to do anything about it.

00:34:25.640 And the people were in denial.

00:34:28.380 Yeah.

00:34:28.620 People think about what we're doing here, gang.

00:34:31.180 We are being asked to deny the truth of what we see.

00:34:37.220 OK, we saw last week those Covington students.

00:34:41.560 We saw them.

00:34:42.860 We saw the video.

00:34:44.580 We know what the truth is.

00:34:46.320 But the mainstream media decided that that is not the truth.

00:34:50.440 And they're asking us to not believe our eyes.

00:34:54.700 And it's happening on both sides of the aisle, quite frankly, there are times that both sides of the aisle will ask their crew, just deny what you think, what you see, what you know, deny it.

00:35:06.980 Well, that leads you eventually to be a group of people that see ashes come down like snow and no one says a word about it because you have to deny what you see.

00:35:25.200 You get to a point to where the Germans were denying what they knew to be true based on what they could smell and what was falling on them from the sky.

00:35:39.020 They were still in denial.

00:35:41.540 It's the normalcy bias.

00:35:42.700 Yes.

00:35:43.220 They want to believe things are normal.

00:35:45.220 Nobody wants to believe their society is completely out of control and uncivilized.

00:35:49.300 Nobody wants to believe that.

00:35:50.460 So they chose not to.

00:35:51.540 It is why I have been saying you have to have courage of conviction.

00:35:58.080 You have to stand now because it's not going to get easier than it is right now.

00:36:03.720 If you're afraid right now, I'll lose my position at work.

00:36:07.900 I will lose my friends.

00:36:11.640 Those in the media, I will lose my audience because I'm not saying the things my audience wants to hear.

00:36:18.120 It's not going to get easier.

00:36:20.140 It's going to get harder and you must stand for the truth.

00:36:26.980 Otherwise, boy, these sayings from the past that we have quoted so often are taking on new meaning.

00:36:37.200 Now, Dietrich Bonhoeffer silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

00:36:43.860 Not to stand is to stand not to speak is to speak.

00:36:50.960 We empower.

00:36:53.700 We Pat and I have asked for forgiveness because for so many years we didn't speak up.

00:37:02.700 Because we just couldn't take on any more hits.

00:37:07.160 We're not going to take that on to what a mistake that was to our eternal shame.

00:37:13.620 What a mistake that was.

00:37:17.420 It's past time.

00:37:19.000 There will not be any sidelines whether you speak or risk today or not.

00:37:31.460 It will put you in the stands and only standing and speaking with courage today will put you

00:37:40.420 on the right side of the field.

00:37:42.840 I'd like to invite you to take a risk-free trial on an investment course that we've had

00:37:55.140 former Wall Street hedge fund manager Tika Tiwari create just for you.

00:37:59.740 It's an education course and it's designed to help people starting out with a very small amount of money,

00:38:04.680 hopefully grow it into a much larger pile of money.

00:38:07.380 And while Bitcoin, you know, isn't where we thought or hoped it would be at the start of this year,

00:38:14.660 signs are positive that it should be going up this year.

00:38:17.800 In fact, they're more than positive.

00:38:19.820 It is just it's public sentiment.

00:38:22.580 It's not based in reality.

00:38:23.960 A lot like the Wall Street, except in reverse.

00:38:27.580 Now, this new course is not right for everybody, but it is for every man or woman who has ever felt lied to

00:38:34.400 and cheated by the financial establishment.

00:38:36.600 It's for anybody who lost 30 percent more of their retirement in the 08 crash or those who have totaled up their savings

00:38:44.680 and investments and come to the terrifying realization you're not going to you're not going to quit your job until you die.

00:38:51.340 It's for those of us who are really ready to take the small risk right now on something new for a chance of amazing results.

00:38:59.700 But I urge you to educate yourself before you do anything.

00:39:04.560 Educate yourself.

00:39:05.460 Go to smartcryptocourse.com.

00:39:07.400 That's smartcryptocourse.com.

00:39:09.840 Or call 877-PBL-BACK.

00:39:12.020 That's 1-877-PBL-BACK.

00:39:15.580 Smartcryptocourse.com.

00:39:17.020 On Monday, you don't want to miss our program dedicated to the truth about abortion and those that are pushing it

00:39:26.580 and this new cliff that we've just gone over.

00:39:30.900 Let me just play a little bit of the chair of ethics at Princeton University, Peter Singer.

00:39:37.200 As I said, it's speciesist.

00:39:39.620 I mean, it's limited to human beings.

00:39:42.520 It says that biologically being a member of the species Homo sapien is enough to make your life more sacred,

00:39:48.600 more entitled to protection than the life of, for example, a chimpanzee who is not a member of our species,

00:39:54.060 who is far more self-aware, far more rational, far more capable of emotionally connecting with other beings,

00:40:00.800 with loving her child, let's say, if it's a female chimpanzee, than a human being with an uncapulite,

00:40:10.240 the condition we were talking about, could ever be.

00:40:12.900 That seems to me just a mere prejudice in favor of members of our species.

00:40:17.300 Wow.

00:40:17.800 Okay, so I think he's both right and wrong.

00:40:21.080 You know, they're more rational.

00:40:22.460 Well, they also throw their poop at things.

00:40:24.360 But the other thing is, they may be more compassionate because they don't kill the unborn and their newborn babies.

00:40:34.760 Yeah.

00:40:35.360 So he may be right about that.

00:40:38.480 Not the point he was making.

00:40:39.360 No, no.

00:40:40.600 But still.

00:40:43.300 Every day, we ask you, hey, buy something from, you know, this advertiser or that.

00:40:48.600 We do because we have vetted these advertisers and we know that they have a product that could be of use to you.

00:40:55.120 I choose to partner with certain companies and certain products because they are people that share the same belief as well.

00:41:04.660 And they go beyond.

00:41:06.480 Ask yourself why you buy from certain companies and don't buy from others.

00:41:11.100 I stopped a transaction halfway through at Dick's because I remembered, oh, crap, you're Dick's.

00:41:16.940 I was just looking at you at a sporting goods store.

00:41:56.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:58.720 Well, if you're a longtime listener of the program, you know that it is Super Bowl.

00:42:02.660 It is the big game weekend.

00:42:05.560 And that means that Stu is gone today and Monday because he goes every single year.

00:42:15.480 So how do I approach the big game weekend without somebody who really knows it?

00:42:22.140 Don't worry about it.

00:42:23.780 We have it covered.

00:42:24.720 Andrew Heaton joins me about the big game in one minute.

00:42:30.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:35.640 And you're good on football, right, Andrew?

00:42:38.680 Oh, yeah.

00:42:39.120 Okay, good.

00:42:39.540 I've got a whole list of things.

00:42:40.300 Because I'm not.

00:42:41.100 Yeah.

00:42:41.360 Because I'm not good at football.

00:42:42.440 You know that?

00:42:43.180 And you're good?

00:42:43.700 I don't know anything about it, but I've got suggestions on how to fix it.

00:42:47.620 I know the two teams playing.

00:42:48.780 That's it.

00:42:49.100 Oh, well, you're so you're better than I am.

00:42:51.680 A security breach occurs when an intruder gains unauthorized access to an organization's protected system or data, right?

00:43:01.680 That's what a security breach is.

00:43:03.720 Security breaches are happening now all the time.

00:43:07.020 And we used to just have to worry about banks and things like that.

00:43:10.380 Now it's databanks.

00:43:12.240 It's your phone.

00:43:13.700 It's your iPad.

00:43:14.880 It's your computer.

00:43:16.140 Anything that has personal information, they can get it now.

00:43:21.040 It's really it's really disruptive.

00:43:24.200 And there are countries that are trying to do it to the average American, not just countries trying to hack into Citibank.

00:44:10.720 You know, I've heard from people because they don't, you know, I don't listen to sports radio, but I've heard from people that they absolutely hate it when sports radio starts talking about politics because they know nothing about it.

00:44:36.880 And they're idiots.

00:44:39.780 So we have always made it our policy to stick to the things we know.

00:44:43.720 For instance, science, deep science, mathematics, things like that.

00:44:49.260 And, of course, on the big game weekend, we do talk a little bit about sports because while I don't have real knowledge of sports, we are surrounded by people who really know it inside and out.

00:45:04.000 And Andrew Heaton is not one of those people.

00:45:05.920 But welcome to the program.

00:45:07.160 Thank you.

00:45:07.860 You're welcome.

00:45:08.340 Good to be here.

00:45:08.960 You know what?

00:45:09.160 Sure.

00:45:09.300 I think it's kind of like I assume that my friends who are parents enjoy hearing about my theories on parenting because I don't have any kids.

00:45:16.060 And that's a fresh perspective.

00:45:17.300 I will tell you this.

00:45:18.260 Sometimes it's the people who aren't involved at all that have the clearest look at it.

00:45:24.820 Thank you.

00:45:25.280 I agree.

00:45:25.900 And that's why I spent this morning coming up with awesome ways to improve American football for the big game.

00:45:31.700 Can I lay a couple of these on you?

00:45:33.020 Sure.

00:45:33.420 All right.

00:45:33.680 So I think everyone can get behind this.

00:45:35.080 Okay.

00:45:35.240 Uh, no more referees, only very judicious cheerleaders.

00:45:40.200 I think that that is, first of all, that's giving props to the cheerleaders.

00:45:43.880 And second, win for everybody.

00:45:45.860 I like the cheerleaders.

00:45:48.960 So they're on a team.

00:45:51.220 Uh, you'd have impartial cheerleaders from Canada.

00:45:53.780 You'd have, uh, cheerleaders who understand the game, but aren't on either team playing.

00:45:57.740 So you've got like a third team of cheerleaders.

00:45:59.200 They're now the refs.

00:45:59.880 They would wear uniforms that are black and white.

00:46:01.440 But, but I think that they in Canada play a different kind of football.

00:46:08.660 That's possible.

00:46:09.560 I'm going to have to look into that.

00:46:10.580 I just assume everybody's playing with an egg-shaped bond from.

00:46:13.180 Okay.

00:46:13.200 So that's, that's what I'm.

00:46:14.340 All right.

00:46:14.520 So this next one, uh, my, okay.

00:46:17.360 I think sports, a lot of it is sublimated warfare.

00:46:20.000 It's that kind of like, we're going to go fight the other team.

00:46:22.900 Sure.

00:46:23.260 Right.

00:46:23.560 Yeah.

00:46:23.760 And I think football in particular, cause it's very, it's about kind of staging your troops.

00:46:27.920 It's sort of like Napoleonic warfare.

00:46:29.660 Right.

00:46:30.240 So from now on, each team gets a horse.

00:46:34.760 Everybody gets one cavalry unit.

00:46:36.560 I think that that would fundamentally alter the game.

00:46:38.580 So only one horse.

00:46:39.640 One horse.

00:46:39.820 You don't have a line of horses.

00:46:40.720 Anything more than that would be excessive and ridiculous.

00:46:42.860 Right.

00:46:43.040 One horse.

00:46:43.660 That's the same choice.

00:46:44.920 All right.

00:46:45.120 Just one horse per team.

00:46:46.080 If I remember right, I think there was an old Disney movie.

00:46:49.440 Like, I don't know the nutty professor or something like that.

00:46:53.100 Maybe it'd been son of flubber where they had a horse with a helmet on.

00:46:58.500 I, I'm, I know I saw, maybe I made this up in my head.

00:47:02.540 And they've got air buds.

00:47:03.340 So animals are pretty good at football.

00:47:04.760 That's what I've learned from Disney.

00:47:05.900 Now they wouldn't be catching.

00:47:07.860 No, no, no.

00:47:08.400 I think, I think that it would be someone, I mean, I'm not entirely sure what the, what

00:47:12.000 the strategy would be.

00:47:12.820 I mean, that would be more of a Tom Brady call, but you know, presumably if you're like

00:47:16.000 the, you know, the wind back or whatever, and it's your job to get the ball from the

00:47:20.340 other guy, then like, you know, you could, I'd rather have a horse.

00:47:23.560 And Tom Brady is of, is the coach, right?

00:47:26.860 He, uh, he's the quarterback.

00:47:28.420 He's the quarterback.

00:47:28.980 However, how would you know?

00:47:30.420 Because you know, there's, there's no, there's no costuming that identifies him.

00:47:35.140 Like if you're in the Navy, you're like, oh, that guy's a captain.

00:47:37.220 Look, he's got those, uh, he's got those, those epaulets and things.

00:47:40.040 Now it doesn't happen with football, which is why I think that the quarterback should

00:47:42.760 have to wear a cape.

00:47:46.080 Okay.

00:47:46.860 All right.

00:47:47.360 Uh, now the, because the team members may not know who the quarterback is, because I

00:47:51.900 know a lot of people in the stands won't know which one is the quarterback.

00:47:55.760 I can't tell.

00:47:56.400 They all look the same to me.

00:47:57.160 It's not a racial thing.

00:47:58.300 That's a football thing.

00:47:59.240 Right.

00:47:59.380 But maybe it's, maybe it's just for the fans or is it for, is the cape to identify,

00:48:07.520 Hey, which one of my friends is the quarterback or is the cape for the, for the fans that aren't

00:48:12.960 there at practice all the time?

00:48:14.460 That's a very good question.

00:48:15.440 You know, I think any team that's worth its salt is probably doing a lot of trust building

00:48:18.400 exercises.

00:48:19.200 So if that's the case, chances are, you're going to recognize the quarterback.

00:48:22.460 If I were, if I were the coach, I'd be doing that sufficiently.

00:48:24.860 Uh, it's I think for the fans so they can identify them because otherwise, how would

00:48:27.840 you know where the quarterback is?

00:48:28.800 And they don't, you know, they don't tack.

00:48:30.800 It's always a big deal when they tackle the quarterback.

00:48:33.020 Yeah.

00:48:33.480 Uh, and so maybe that's because the other team is confused, which one of you guys, that's

00:48:38.600 entirely possible.

00:48:39.700 At that point, you're just going off of hand signals.

00:48:41.760 Right.

00:48:41.980 So it might make it a little faster.

00:48:44.180 Yeah.

00:48:44.440 Well, and that's another thing too.

00:48:45.740 And Tom Brady probably wouldn't last as long because he would have been tackled a lot more.

00:48:50.460 And this, this is an actual, this is a real fundamental thing.

00:48:53.020 No more timeouts.

00:48:54.180 None of that.

00:48:54.960 If you watch rugby rugby, they're like, we're going to do it from six to eight.

00:48:57.920 And it's just two hours of continuous play.

00:48:59.980 They get like one timeout each.

00:49:01.380 No more timeouts in football.

00:49:02.700 You don't get to do that anymore.

00:49:04.040 Unless there's some sort of issue involving horse rights.

00:49:06.620 Like I could see the SPCA getting involved.

00:49:08.940 Or if somebody is trampled by a horse.

00:49:10.820 Yeah.

00:49:11.160 But you know, we don't take time out during war.

00:49:14.060 Yeah, but this isn't real war.

00:49:15.380 That's true.

00:49:15.780 It's not real war.

00:49:16.480 Yeah.

00:49:16.740 Okay, fine.

00:49:17.280 If someone gets kicked in the head by a horse, you get a horse break of like eight minutes

00:49:21.240 to deal with it.

00:49:21.720 Do you get a penalty if someone is, if the horse is, if you, because you know, you can't

00:49:27.520 walk behind a horse.

00:49:28.540 Right.

00:49:28.860 Don't do that.

00:49:29.380 So you would never have the horse be the person that goes down with a football and throws

00:49:34.440 the football between his back legs.

00:49:36.240 Yeah.

00:49:36.440 No, that's, yeah.

00:49:37.100 For safety reasons, you'd want to avoid that.

00:49:38.800 Plus it would be on your team, right?

00:49:40.140 Right.

00:49:40.340 So you, you, you wouldn't have no incentive to do it.

00:49:42.160 Right.

00:49:42.500 Because the quarterback would get kicked in the head.

00:49:44.440 Yeah.

00:49:44.560 I think, I think the bigger issue is probably horse steroids.

00:49:46.980 You just want to make sure that horse is clean.

00:49:48.600 Sure.

00:49:48.940 You don't want to have any, any, otherwise a regular horse, a thoroughbred could look

00:49:52.340 like a Clydesdale.

00:49:53.260 Right.

00:49:53.640 Exactly.

00:49:54.120 But you know, you don't want an Appaloosa coming off like a Clydesdale.

00:49:57.320 Right.

00:49:57.480 You want it to be okay.

00:49:58.780 So another thing, because again, I think this is sublimated warfare.

00:50:02.880 You could have a third team just watch the game.

00:50:06.900 So like this, hold on.

00:50:09.180 So this, this coming up big game, it's the Falcons and the Patriots, right?

00:50:12.720 But let's say you had the Texas Rangers.

00:50:14.960 Now I'm aware that the Texas Rangers are a baseball team.

00:50:17.500 That's fine.

00:50:18.300 They can come to the game, sit in the stands and then just charge the field and try and

00:50:22.460 take the ball.

00:50:23.340 Got another idea.

00:50:24.120 They got to bring a horse, but if they can do it, they win the game.

00:50:26.800 Okay.

00:50:27.120 Hang on.

00:50:27.660 I got another idea.

00:50:29.080 Have you ever played Chinese checkers?

00:50:30.920 Yeah.

00:50:31.400 Okay.

00:50:32.180 Take a football field.

00:50:33.960 Okay.

00:50:34.800 Left and right.

00:50:35.700 A hundred yards.

00:50:36.500 Okay.

00:50:36.660 Now put another football field and put it in the center.

00:50:40.980 Whoa.

00:50:41.620 So now you are playing two games.

00:50:44.680 Nice.

00:50:45.040 With one ball.

00:50:46.680 Okay.

00:50:47.060 Okay.

00:50:47.400 Yeah.

00:50:47.760 And you've got them facing off.

00:50:49.620 Everybody's trying to get that ball and you can run it in two different, sorry, four

00:50:55.180 different directions.

00:50:56.380 Ooh, I like this.

00:50:57.240 You can, you could totally do that too.

00:50:58.320 If you had like really thick plexiglass that was transparent, still fun for fans to watch

00:51:02.560 because now you could see like, well, you got Tom Brady and the foot soldiers up top

00:51:06.040 and then you got the horse units down at the base level and you could see what's going

00:51:09.500 on.

00:51:09.680 Maybe you'd have like a...

00:51:10.620 Oh no, I'm not talking about that.

00:51:12.140 I'm talking about it's the same.

00:51:13.960 No, you take a football field and then on the same plane, you have another football field.

00:51:19.720 Yeah.

00:51:19.980 Yeah.

00:51:20.140 Yeah.

00:51:20.280 I'm just saying you should make the second one transparent so you can see through the

00:51:22.840 first one.

00:51:23.240 No, you don't understand.

00:51:26.600 This is not that complex.

00:51:28.340 Well, see, Glenn, I'm sorry.

00:51:29.520 I'm coming here with legitimate reform ideas and you're just, you're just starting to question

00:51:33.440 some of your...

00:51:34.020 You're getting into structural design for field.

00:51:35.640 I was buying into the, you know, the cape and the costuming thing because I think like

00:51:39.940 the, like the Browns, I think it's the Browns.

00:51:41.900 I'm not sure.

00:51:42.440 But one of them wears costumes that are, it's like this really bad Brown.

00:51:48.380 It's like a poop Brown and a lighter poop Brown.

00:51:51.460 Uh, and it's not good.

00:51:53.680 Yeah.

00:51:53.800 And I think those costumes are holding them back.

00:51:55.740 Yeah, I agree.

00:51:56.420 I also think, uh, mascots should be armed.

00:51:59.100 Uh, I think mascots should have some kind of deadly weapon.

00:52:01.940 I want to clarify.

00:52:02.740 I don't think we should relax any murder laws still against the law to kill people, but you

00:52:09.520 would know that the mascot has a loaded gun and every once in a while the camera would

00:52:13.720 come in and you just see the mascot staring at Tom Brady and you're like, I think that mascot's

00:52:17.340 thinking about killing Tom Brady.

00:52:18.320 And that adds a really interesting psychological, uh, psychological dimension of the game.

00:52:22.460 And it might be better because we don't want to have, you know, the NFL doesn't want any

00:52:26.660 more trouble.

00:52:27.360 Yeah.

00:52:27.680 So stay away from guns, maybe like a giant mace.

00:52:30.440 Oh, that'd be cool.

00:52:31.160 Yeah.

00:52:31.400 That'd be neat.

00:52:31.940 Yeah.

00:52:32.160 I'd totally go for that.

00:52:33.160 And that actually, that kind of fits with the cavalry thing more.

00:52:35.180 And you could, I mean, instead of the shoulder pads, why not just put them in armor?

00:52:41.320 That, okay.

00:52:41.980 I would, if, if Stu called me and he's like, Hey, I got tickets to the big game.

00:52:45.500 You want to come?

00:52:45.940 I'd be like, ah, will I be able to see the commercials from the, from the stadium?

00:52:49.800 That's exactly how I would.

00:52:50.460 If not, I don't know.

00:52:51.260 But if Stu were like, uh, Hey, I'm, I'm going over to the, um, the, the football field.

00:52:56.240 There's a bunch of guys in an armor that are just going to wail on each other with maces.

00:52:59.880 I'd be like, yeah, I'll go watch that.

00:53:01.660 I'll watch a melee combat.

00:53:03.100 Sure.

00:53:03.540 I've changed my mind because I've, I've realized that what we've just created is the medieval times.

00:53:11.280 Yeah.

00:53:11.840 I don't like that.

00:53:14.200 You got a birthday coming up.

00:53:15.280 Can we go there for your birthday?

00:53:16.920 All right.

00:53:18.020 Uh, back in just a second.

00:53:19.600 First, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

00:53:21.800 It is simply safe.

00:53:23.400 No one should feel unsafe at home.

00:53:25.720 Now you're on a football field and the mascots got a mace.

00:53:29.100 That's a different thing, but fear has no place in anyone's home.

00:53:32.840 And that is simply safe's mission from day one.

00:53:36.300 They're running a commercial for, I can't even say, I hate this so much.

00:53:41.940 The big game.

00:53:43.480 Do you know why people are saying that on radio and television?

00:53:45.900 The big game.

00:53:46.600 You didn't know this until yesterday.

00:53:47.760 I had no idea until yesterday.

00:53:48.920 Apparently I'm not allowed to say it.

00:53:50.500 You can say the big game.

00:53:51.800 You just can't say SB.

00:53:53.620 Can you say it backwards?

00:53:55.060 Sure.

00:53:55.600 So I could say the, the bowl El Super.

00:53:57.820 Sure.

00:53:58.380 Okay.

00:53:58.800 Sure.

00:53:59.420 You're right.

00:53:59.800 Or El Super.

00:54:00.760 Sorry.

00:54:01.260 El Super.

00:54:02.220 Nailed it.

00:54:02.840 All right.

00:54:03.340 So we can't say that because it's an officially licensed product of the NFL.

00:54:09.960 So it leaves us sounding like we're idiots calling it the big game.

00:54:14.560 But anyway, they're going to be running a commercial on the big game.

00:54:18.300 The only reason why that's interesting, at least to me, is because they started with us.

00:54:23.060 We were their first advertising and they were like this company that would just had this crazy idea.

00:54:30.980 And they were like, look, we've, we've done this with our friends and it just caught on.

00:54:35.160 And we think we have a business.

00:54:36.440 I'm like, come on.

00:54:37.220 And I think this is great.

00:54:38.220 Now they protect.

00:54:40.000 I think it's like 3 million American homes right now.

00:54:43.600 They're starting to go into other countries.

00:54:46.340 It is the greatest success story.

00:54:48.500 And the guy who started it, the guy who came up with the system, he always wanted to be like his grandfather.

00:54:55.460 And his grandfather was a tinkerer.

00:54:58.480 And he, and I honestly, I don't remember what it was, but he's the guy who invented one of the most important things in the modern tank during World War II.

00:55:08.320 Thank you.

00:55:08.800 He helped us win the Second World War.

00:55:11.680 And so he always wanted to be like his grandfather.

00:55:13.880 And now he is keeping Americans safe.

00:55:16.960 Around the clock, professional monitoring.

00:55:18.820 Make sure the police are on the way or fire when you need them.

00:55:21.340 And it's only $14.99 a month.

00:55:23.740 You own this system.

00:55:24.740 There's no wires.

00:55:38.020 10 seconds.

00:55:38.640 Station ID.

00:55:39.180 Now, you know, I'm against abortion and most in this audience are against abortion.

00:56:02.000 So I apologize for our Super Bowl coverage in the last 10 minutes.

00:56:08.520 But Monday, I want to remind you that I'm doing a show on abortion because I think what I see on in social media is the left is trying to convince you that these things aren't true.

00:56:24.400 And people are saying the bill allows you to have an abortion, you know, when the woman is having when she's dilated and in in in in in delivery.

00:56:36.320 That's not true.

00:56:37.180 That's not in the bill.

00:56:38.200 Yeah, it actually is.

00:56:39.800 And so what I want to do on Monday is equip you with all of the facts.

00:56:45.100 And we're going to put them on glenbeck.com so you have them.

00:56:48.380 We'll highlight them.

00:56:49.320 We'll give you the full text.

00:56:50.780 We'll give you the argument back and forth with the people who sponsored the bill.

00:56:56.280 And so you'll be able to hear all this and you'll be able to share it.

00:57:00.060 Don't share it with your friend and say, I got this from Glenn Beck, because then that just shoots it all to hell.

00:57:05.520 Now, we're going to give you the actual facts raw so you have them so you can have a decent conversation with your friends who might be putting their heads in the sand.

00:57:20.280 Now, Andrew is a well, you were an abortion doctor for many years.

00:57:25.680 No, he's a libertarian who you believe in murder.

00:57:31.420 Yes, I think yes.

00:57:32.760 As long as you've got a good reason.

00:57:34.500 So you believe that, you know, murdering children is wrong.

00:57:42.260 Yeah.

00:57:42.440 You're just kind of, I think, like most people, when it gets to when is life created?

00:57:51.300 I probably have a later start time.

00:57:53.020 Yeah.

00:57:53.760 But you're still first trimester.

00:57:55.880 Yeah.

00:57:56.100 Something like that.

00:57:56.520 I mean, I don't have the exact date worked out in my head.

00:57:58.320 But no, and I think this is a subject which is always going to make me uncomfortable because I doubt that I'm ever going to be 100% either direction.

00:58:06.360 Because in my mind, I do, yeah, I'm very anti-murder.

00:58:09.380 I'm particularly anti-murder when it comes to children, not killing children.

00:58:12.500 At the same time, though, I don't think, I don't think that it's a kid, you know, day two after conception.

00:58:18.120 And were I to force somebody to carry a term at that point, I almost view that like a form of slavery, which is libertarian, kind of a fundamental precept is you own your body.

00:58:26.640 You lose your rights once you're talking about someone else's body.

00:58:29.820 But once you, let's say, heartbeat, brain, you know, there's a body in there, then that changes for you because you're like, that's a body.

00:58:39.960 Yeah, I mean, I don't, again, I don't know the exact threshold I'd put it here.

00:58:43.720 But yeah, I would, let's say, you know, third trimester abortion would very much bother me because at that point, I can look at that.

00:58:50.900 For me, where it's uncomfortable is there is some gray area for me, and I don't know how to do it.

00:58:55.460 So I'm either trampling on someone's rights or I'm killing a kid.

00:58:58.200 I know.

00:58:58.500 But when you get into the third trimester, I'm like, at that point, I don't really feel like it's up for debate anymore.

00:59:02.360 At that point, you're killing a kid.

00:59:03.780 I'm against it.

00:59:04.480 Yeah.

00:59:04.900 So here's the thing.

00:59:06.140 I think that's where most people are, and they don't think about it, and they don't want to think about it, and they don't want to think about it for a few reasons.

00:59:13.120 It's an uncomfortable topic.

00:59:14.400 Yeah.

00:59:14.560 It is an uncomfortable topic.

00:59:15.840 And there is, for most people, there is a couple of hurdles that are hard to get over.

00:59:22.580 For instance, rape and incest.

00:59:24.920 Yeah.

00:59:25.020 I don't want to be the judge.

00:59:32.780 I don't want to be involved in that decision.

00:59:35.180 You know what I mean?

00:59:35.940 I don't want to, as an outsider, say, no.

00:59:39.200 So even though me personally, I believe it is murder.

00:59:44.960 I am not to the point of, for instance, and this is going to hack off a lot of people possibly, but I am the day after pill.

00:59:55.720 If it truly is the day after or the moment after, you're like, hey, you have that cigarette.

01:00:03.480 I'm going to pop this pill.

01:00:05.380 I'm not sure I classify that as abortion.

01:00:09.920 And that's hard, because I do believe in a soul and everything else.

01:00:15.560 I'm just not sure.

01:00:16.800 So it's a gray area.

01:00:18.160 Yeah.

01:00:18.320 But if that's what we were talking about is abortion, I would be so okay with it, or at least I could sleep at night somewhat.

01:00:27.940 But where the direction we're heading, once that child, and this is a slippery slope, it used to be, well, once that child is viable, it's murder.

01:00:38.940 Well, science is making it more viable earlier and earlier and earlier.

01:00:43.500 You know what I mean?

01:00:44.920 We're getting to a place to, in 10, 15 years, you will be able to just fertilize an egg and grow it in a sack.

01:00:53.080 We're already there being able to grow sheep in a sack.

01:00:57.080 So it is actually viable.

01:01:00.420 Yeah.

01:01:01.040 We'd have to, for me, coming from a non-spiritual direction on it, I'd have to approach it more in terms of, is there an entity that is feeling and aware of pain?

01:01:10.100 Does it have mental cognition of some form?

01:01:12.440 Those are the kind of things.

01:01:13.380 And that's, again, why I'm going to be so uncomfortable, because I don't think I can fully know.

01:01:17.340 Where I've kind of gone back and forth is I used to take a very cautious and conservative approach of, like, let's just…

01:01:25.320 Air on the side of life.

01:01:26.480 Yeah.

01:01:26.840 Yeah.

01:01:27.840 Where I've kind of swung back the other direction is I was talking to somebody, and they went, if the woman's life is under threat, would you be okay with it?

01:01:36.100 And I went, yeah, if there's a chance of death.

01:01:38.760 And they went, well, what if it's, you know, let's say 50%.

01:01:41.080 Sure.

01:01:41.440 What if it's 8%?

01:01:44.000 Yeah.

01:01:44.940 So from, like, this is such a weird way to approach it.

01:01:47.360 Am I aware of that from a regulatory standpoint?

01:01:49.180 I feel like it's very difficult to allow medical exemptions.

01:01:52.840 But at the same time…

01:01:54.320 See, this is where I am in a different place.

01:01:58.100 I wrestle with, except for rape or incest.

01:02:05.400 Well, why is murder okay?

01:02:08.100 Yeah.

01:02:08.320 I mean, if it's murder, that is recognizing that that child is a child and a separate life, and we protect individuals.

01:02:18.880 So if it's murder, but it was created this way, it's not murder.

01:02:24.780 Uh, no, that's really bad.

01:02:26.660 Because in today's world, we've never had to deal with this.

01:02:31.400 We will be able to grow humans, clones, and take their parts and harvest them for organs.

01:02:37.860 So if they're created, right now we say rape or incest, but if they're created in a lab and grown in a bag, wait.

01:02:46.260 But, is that life?

01:02:49.220 Is that life?

01:02:50.080 Do we have that right to do it?

01:02:52.460 Because it was created differently?

01:02:55.120 I mean…

01:02:56.220 You know, part by part, I'm fine with it.

01:02:58.380 If you just want to grow a leg or an arm or a heart, that sounds awesome.

01:03:01.940 Yeah, I think part by part, I'd be cool.

01:03:04.440 Yeah.

01:03:04.700 I'd be cool.

01:03:05.540 That, um, the…

01:03:06.940 I think what you've struck onto, and this is one of my things when we get into conversations about this, I appreciate consistency.

01:03:12.020 Yeah.

01:03:12.220 So the position that I'm…

01:03:14.420 Yeah, I'll…

01:03:15.220 Oh, yeah, we'll come back in a second.

01:03:16.760 We've only got about 10 seconds, but I think I know where you're going, and I echo that.

01:03:21.800 Consistency is really hard on this issue.

01:03:26.820 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:03:29.720 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:03:36.880 If I'm wrong, eat, drink, and be merry.

01:03:39.000 If I'm right, mortgages are going to be a little scarcer.

01:03:43.240 Your mortgage interest rate is a major factor that will determine your monthly payment, and when rates are low, like they have been, that's when you need to get a loan and lock it in.

01:03:56.100 Now, whether you're looking to buy a home or refinance an existing mortgage, you need to do it right now, because I think, like in 2008, if you remember, all of a sudden, no one could get a loan for anything.

01:04:09.160 I think it's going to be difficult to get a loan for anything.

01:04:12.840 The mortgage consultants at American Financing can get you qualified in 10 minutes and close in as fast as a week, and they work for you.

01:04:20.720 So go to American Financing, family-owned and operated.

01:04:23.840 It's AmericanFinancing.net, AmericanFinancing.net.

01:04:29.500 Don't forget, another Blaze TV live event is happening this Tuesday.

01:04:33.740 We cover the State of the Union address, 730 Eastern, Facebook, YouTube, or BlazeTV.com slash Beck.

01:04:39.900 Earlier today, we had Ben Sasson, the senator from Nebraska, and I just love him.

01:04:50.720 He threw down the gauntlet yesterday.

01:04:53.800 Here's what he said in Congress about these new abortion bills.

01:04:58.400 Listen.

01:04:59.680 Let's be really clear about what we're talking about here.

01:05:02.520 We're talking about fourth trimester abortion, or what anyone in the normal world calls infanticide.

01:05:10.600 That's what we're talking about.

01:05:12.120 And the governor of Virginia has been defending this all day yesterday and again today,

01:05:16.840 going out and trying to equivocate and qualify and then double down and again say he wants to defend this practice, which is infanticide.

01:05:25.200 Let's be clear what we're talking about.

01:05:26.660 We're talking about killing a baby that's been born.

01:05:30.180 We're not talking about some euphemism.

01:05:31.820 We're not talking about a clump of cells.

01:05:34.080 We're talking about a little baby girl who's been born and is on a table in a hospital or a medical facility,

01:05:42.340 and then a decision or a debate would be had about whether or not you could kill that little baby.

01:05:46.440 Everyone in the Senate ought to be able to say unequivocally that killing that little baby is wrong.

01:05:52.280 This doesn't take any political courage.

01:05:55.040 And if you can't say that, if there's a member of this body that can't say that,

01:05:58.840 there may be lots of work you can do in the world, but you shouldn't be here.

01:06:03.000 You should get the heck out of any calling in public life where you pretend to care about the most vulnerable among us.

01:06:09.460 So he is going on Monday, he's taking the floor, using rule 14, whatever that is, to rush a bill to the floor of the Senate,

01:06:21.660 and he is going to ask all 100 senators to stand up and declare that they are against infanticide.

01:06:31.580 And he said, that should be the easiest vote to ever go down, that once a child is born, we can't kill it.

01:06:39.500 Yeah.

01:06:40.460 It seems like I'm trying to, because I do try and, you know, like with the bill that came out of Virginia,

01:06:46.740 I do make an effort to, okay, what's really happening here?

01:06:49.380 What's the policy and announcements?

01:06:50.480 There's something I haven't foreseen.

01:06:51.660 But a general statement of infanticide is bad and we're against killing children post-birth?

01:06:55.740 Is that, that seems like a...

01:06:57.580 That's what the governor of a doctor, who is now the governor of Virginia, that's how he described what was in that bill.

01:07:07.160 He described that.

01:07:08.640 Can we play that from a couple of days ago?

01:07:10.840 And then I'd like to play his doubling down on it.

01:07:14.380 This is what he said when he was on WTOP radio two days ago, asked about this bill.

01:07:21.860 Hey, listen.

01:07:22.260 When we talk about third trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother,

01:07:29.980 with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician, by the way.

01:07:34.780 And it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities.

01:07:38.540 There may be a fetus that's non-viable.

01:07:41.720 So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen.

01:07:47.300 And the infant would be delivered.

01:07:49.920 The infant would be kept comfortable.

01:07:52.580 The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.

01:07:57.660 And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.

01:08:01.500 So I think this was really blown out of proportion.

01:08:04.960 But again, we want the government not to be involved in these types of decisions.

01:08:09.780 We want the decision to be made by the mothers and their providers.

01:08:14.240 And this is why, Julie, that legislators, most of whom are men, by the way,

01:08:19.540 shouldn't be telling a woman what she should and shouldn't be doing with her body.

01:08:23.120 So the baby is born, kept comfortable, as they decide what to do with it.

01:08:29.800 That's infanticide.

01:08:31.400 Here is his doubling down the next day.

01:08:34.000 I'm a physician.

01:08:35.460 I'm also the governor.

01:08:37.220 But when I'm asked questions, a lot of times it is put in the context of being a physician, again,

01:08:44.580 realizing how we approach, how we manage patients, how we offer advice and counseling.

01:08:51.040 So, no, I don't have any regrets.

01:08:53.520 But I do find that how my comments, I did answer that question.

01:08:59.520 I regret that those comments have been mischaracterized.

01:09:03.540 The personal insults toward me, I really find disgusting.

01:09:07.560 So, again, as I said in my comments just earlier, you know, we can agree to disagree, Alan, but let's be civil about it.

01:09:14.380 Okay.

01:09:15.140 I haven't heard anybody taking shots against him personally.

01:09:20.360 And that, of course, would be wrong and just take us off track.

01:09:23.040 There's no way to read what he said any differently.

01:09:27.060 What he said literally was the baby would be born, resuscitated, if that's what the family wanted,

01:09:34.220 but then kept comfortable while we discussed what would happen.

01:09:38.500 Notice also the absence of the father.

01:09:40.700 It is only a discussion between the physician and the mother as he described it.

01:09:46.380 I mean, isn't that part kind of open-ended?

01:09:48.720 Because in the clip you just played, he says that the baby would be resuscitated.

01:09:53.040 He said that it would be resuscitated if that's what the mother wanted,

01:09:56.720 but that still seems reasonably germane because we have that conversation about resuscitation with adults, too,

01:10:02.380 and you could have a non-resuscitation order.

01:10:03.780 But then he says a discussion ensues.

01:10:05.540 I mean, I didn't get from that that he necessarily said a discussion about terminating the child.

01:10:11.100 I mean, he just said a discussion ensues, so maybe they're going to talk about it.

01:10:13.180 Yeah, no.

01:10:13.560 He said the baby would be kept comfortable while a discussion—play it again.

01:10:19.000 Play it again, please.

01:10:19.720 When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother,

01:10:30.620 with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician, by the way.

01:10:35.400 And it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities.

01:10:39.140 There may be a fetus that's non-viable.

01:10:41.840 So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen.

01:10:48.420 The infant would be delivered.

01:10:50.540 The infant would be kept comfortable.

01:10:53.140 The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.

01:10:58.260 And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.

01:11:02.320 So I think this was really blown out of proportion.

01:11:05.620 But again, we want the government—

01:11:07.640 I mean, a discussion of what?

01:11:09.640 I don't know.

01:11:10.480 Yeah.

01:11:11.480 I just, you know, I tend to—I try and be as charitable as I can about ambiguous statements,

01:11:17.700 which is why I'm—if he came out and said,

01:11:21.560 if a child has deformities, we will discuss whether or not to terminate the child.

01:11:26.520 That I would go, that's a pretty big alarm there.

01:11:28.960 But I'm just—I'm trying to give wide berth of if he said, say, you know, maybe the child is going to have multiple—

01:11:36.720 they're going to have to resuscitate it multiple times.

01:11:38.560 We're going to have a discussion about whether to do that or something like that.

01:11:40.800 I feel like that's a different categorical discussion than, you know, infanticide.

01:11:45.260 Boy, I wish I could agree with you on that, because that's usually—I try to, and this audience knows,

01:11:54.640 I try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they don't deserve it anymore.

01:11:59.580 Sure.

01:11:59.680 And seeing that we are a society that has heard for so long, safe, legal, and rare,

01:12:09.360 and now it is all the way to birth, and that's in writing.

01:12:15.660 Can you please play the Virginia conversation in the House in Virginia

01:12:20.620 as they were going back and forth with the co-sponsor of this bill?

01:12:26.160 This is a few days ago, before the governor, where someone in the House is trying to get nailed down.

01:12:33.460 What does this mean exactly?

01:12:36.080 Is there a cutoff?

01:12:37.180 Go ahead.

01:12:38.120 How late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion

01:12:42.000 if he indicated it would impair the mental health of the woman?

01:12:46.600 Or physical health.

01:12:47.900 Okay.

01:12:48.380 Okay.

01:12:48.820 I'm talking about the mental health.

01:12:50.820 So, I mean, through the third trimester.

01:12:53.080 The third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks.

01:12:55.360 Okay.

01:12:55.900 But to the end of the third trimester?

01:12:57.780 Yep.

01:12:58.020 I don't think we have a limit in the bill.

01:12:59.900 Where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth.

01:13:02.600 She has physical signs that she is about to give a birth.

01:13:06.460 Would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified?

01:13:14.260 She's dilating.

01:13:15.060 Mr. Chairman, that would be a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman would make at that point.

01:13:25.300 I understand that.

01:13:25.640 I'm asking if your bill allows that.

01:13:27.560 My bill would allow that.

01:13:28.860 Yes.

01:13:29.080 So, the co-sponsor, who is pro-choice, after this, came out and said, I'm new to the house.

01:13:39.060 I'm new to this process.

01:13:40.680 I am a co-sponsor of this.

01:13:42.900 I apologize.

01:13:43.800 I did not read this carefully enough.

01:13:47.320 I went back and read it.

01:13:49.520 It is way beyond anything that I was talking about.

01:13:54.040 I want nothing to do with it.

01:13:55.560 And withdrew her sponsorship.

01:13:57.120 Well, because the clip you just played, my read on that was, you can have a late-term abortion if a doctor certifies that it will have some sort of mental effect on you.

01:14:08.120 Which is to say, if you're going to be stressed, sad, in a somewhat subjective state, as opposed to, your life is in danger or the trial is non-viable.

01:14:16.240 Correct.

01:14:17.120 That's not what we're talking about here.

01:14:18.540 We're talking about, you might have postpartum blues.

01:14:22.460 Yeah.

01:14:23.000 Which, at that point, is basically an elective third-trimester abortion.

01:14:25.980 Which, by the way, I would be against.

01:14:27.420 Yes, I know.

01:14:28.400 I know.

01:14:29.240 So, it's, because we have been safe, rare, and what was it?

01:14:37.700 Safe, safe, rare, and what was the third one?

01:14:41.060 I can't remember now.

01:14:42.080 But we were there.

01:14:43.860 And that was, we're just trying to make sure that, you know, it's safe and it's rare because it's going to happen.

01:14:50.220 We don't want it back out.

01:14:51.400 That's no longer it.

01:14:53.340 And now we have Virginia.

01:14:55.340 We have it passed in New York.

01:14:58.160 This, what she's talking about, has passed in New York.

01:15:01.600 You have Vermont and I think Rhode Island going for the same thing now.

01:15:06.560 So, all of a sudden, we've hit, not a slippery slope.

01:15:10.300 It's been a slippery slope.

01:15:11.640 And that's what people have said.

01:15:12.820 It's a slippery slope.

01:15:13.680 It's going to get, you know, further and further the other way.

01:15:16.560 Slippery slope, slippery slope.

01:15:17.740 And they've always said, it's not a slippery slope.

01:15:20.060 No, you're right.

01:15:20.980 It's not.

01:15:21.520 It's a cliff.

01:15:22.420 This hasn't been all of a sudden we have this law that is that insane that you can say, you know what, I don't want for familial reasons is in the in the New York law for familial reasons.

01:15:36.800 My husband is gone or I don't have a babysitter because my mom can't help out.

01:15:42.800 Any reason at all is okay in the New York law.

01:15:48.160 We're not even close as a people to that.

01:15:50.980 And I will tell you that it is it is it is clarified the Paulina, the woman in Poland, who was a righteous among the nations, who told me at a time and it didn't.

01:16:03.260 It's becoming more and more clear to me what this means.

01:16:06.980 Glenn, you're looking at this wrong.

01:16:09.020 The righteous, the people who save the Jews, they didn't suddenly become righteous.

01:16:13.380 They just refuse to go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

01:16:19.360 You don't expect a society to all of a sudden just drop off a cliff.

01:16:25.040 But that is it.

01:16:26.800 That's it.

01:16:27.480 This is not a slippery slope.

01:16:28.740 This is not a gradual decline.

01:16:30.660 This is a cliff.

01:16:32.480 And we're all looking at it and we're all going, well, I'm not for that.

01:16:35.700 I'm not for that.

01:16:37.220 But other people have already gone off that cliff.

01:16:40.220 And by refusing to say that's a cliff, you're going off by saying, no, that's not what it means.

01:16:47.180 By defending it in any way, you've gone off the cliff.

01:16:52.480 A couple of follow-ups?

01:16:53.640 Yes.

01:16:54.180 So with the Virginia bill.

01:16:56.800 Which, by the way, failed now.

01:16:58.900 Now that the co-sponsor came out, it failed.

01:17:00.640 Well, it was going to fail anyway.

01:17:01.840 I mean, it had like two supporters in the Senate.

01:17:03.860 It really wasn't.

01:17:04.740 And that particular bill, in some variation, I think, has been happening the last 10 years.

01:17:10.100 That's been a perennial thing.

01:17:11.360 And it's almost, it's, you know, there's always somebody that's writing bills about various pet projects.

01:17:15.680 This is one of them.

01:17:16.260 It just happened to catch media attention this time.

01:17:17.900 Because it passed in New York.

01:17:19.840 Yeah.

01:17:20.160 Could be, yeah.

01:17:20.820 So my takeaway when I was reading it, or I didn't read the full bill, but reading synopses of it from various websites,

01:17:27.300 the main thing to me seemed to be that it would limit, it would take away the Virginia law requiring an ultrasound if you were going to get an abortion.

01:17:35.380 And it would also take away the rule that, as of now, you can get an abortion in the event that it is going to have, it's a health risk.

01:17:44.300 But you have to have three doctors do it, and it would limit it down to one.

01:17:46.720 One.

01:17:47.240 So that seemed to me to be the meat of the bill.

01:17:49.880 And there is either a, there is either a sneaker clause put in, or there's an ambiguous clause that was inadvertently put in.

01:17:56.340 One of those two things, when we get into the issue of mental health, right?

01:17:58.860 But the big point of it seemed to be those two thrusts.

01:18:01.260 What do you think about those two elements of it?

01:18:03.620 I don't like the idea that it's reduced from one to three.

01:18:08.260 Even in Nazi Germany, the T4 program had to have three signatures.

01:18:12.880 Three doctors had to agree that that life is not worth living.

01:18:17.900 Three, we're now saying, eh, we're good with one.

01:18:21.560 If there were a law requiring you to name the child you would have had, and I wanted to scrap that law, would you be in favor of getting rid of that law?

01:18:30.620 I don't think I understand that law.

01:18:32.380 Well, I mean, a lot of these regulations, I think they're not designed around protecting anyone's life.

01:18:39.440 They're bureaucratic hurdles that have been put in to try and staunch the amount of abortions happening.

01:18:44.480 So that's a lot of the strategy, right?

01:18:46.440 So, I mean, if there's any type of regulatory hurdle you can put in to try and make abortions more difficult, are you in favor of those unilaterally?

01:18:55.200 Or is it specifically that—

01:18:56.760 No, I prefer—I mean, if I'm dealing with unfair people on the other side, I do try to block them any way I can.

01:19:04.220 If I could have closed down a camp with bureaucratic nonsense in Nazi Germany, I absolutely would.

01:19:10.120 But I prefer to do it the right way.

01:19:12.120 I'll say even me as a libertarian would be willing to increase bureaucracy to stop concentration camps.

01:19:17.360 Right.

01:19:17.760 If I could have made some more rent-tape for concentration camps, I'd probably get behind that.

01:19:20.900 Right. If you believe that it is murder, which I do, especially what they're talking about, absolutely.

01:19:27.280 I will resort to anything that I have to.

01:19:31.540 But I prefer that the rest of the human race goes, hey, that's murder.

01:19:35.880 We just shouldn't do that.

01:19:37.720 All right.

01:19:38.260 Back in just a second.

01:19:39.600 First, let me tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:19:42.180 This is something that has been a huge success.

01:19:45.280 And the reason why is because I do a lot of work with real estate agents all over the country on something else that I do.

01:19:52.760 I represent a lot of these real estate agents.

01:19:56.620 So I've met the ones that are on the Wall Street Journal.

01:20:00.520 They'll say the best 500 real estate agents in the country.

01:20:04.660 I know a lot of those guys, and I've met them, and I've talked to them, and I've talked to them out of frustration.

01:20:09.640 When I can't sell my house, I'm like, what is my real estate agent?

01:20:12.600 What's wrong?

01:20:13.040 What are we doing?

01:20:14.000 And I've learned a lot.

01:20:15.540 And so we know how to pick the agent that will sell your home.

01:20:19.600 And so what we started was not a real estate agency, but it's almost like a match.com for the buyer or the seller and the right real estate agent.

01:20:28.880 And they're the people that have your values and know how to price and sell your house or help you buy a new house.

01:20:35.200 A lot of people write to us and say it's like a new friend that they found, and the results are overwhelming.

01:20:42.220 They are so positive.

01:20:45.100 Realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:20:46.260 If you're looking to buy or sell your house and you want to do it quickly and get the most amount of money out of your house and get the least amount of money into the next one, it's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:20:58.320 For anybody who worries about weapons of mass destruction coming across the border yesterday, they stopped a truck.

01:21:11.120 Inside was a weapon of mass destruction that could kill 57 million Americans.

01:21:19.600 I'll give you the details when we come back.

01:21:26.560 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:21:30.680 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:32.560 Yesterday at the border, a weapon of mass destruction was found on a truck coming across the border.

01:21:47.440 Could have killed 57 million Americans.

01:21:54.140 I'll tell you all about it in one minute.

01:21:57.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:22:02.800 Let me tell you about 23andMe, and then we're right back into the program.

01:22:05.700 Yesterday, I had a really amazing call, and I haven't heard the details of it because we ran out of time, and so the producers had to take the rest of it.

01:22:12.380 But a guy called me and said, hey, 23andMe, we just did it, and we think we have found our lost cousin who was somehow or another taken from the family, and they think that they have found him now through DNA testing.

01:22:32.900 And he's like, we have to hire an attorney.

01:22:34.940 And he said, the crazy thing is, Glenn, we think he's related to you.

01:22:39.520 And I'm like, well, is he crazy?

01:22:43.200 And because if he is, yes, good chance.

01:22:46.300 If you're using 23andMe to try to find connections to me, it's don't.

01:22:52.040 Don't do it.

01:22:53.160 I mean, A, I've got enough insane relatives.

01:22:56.900 I don't want any more.

01:22:58.040 I don't want any more.

01:22:59.100 I mean, you know, when the holidays come, I look at the family at the door, and I'm so excited until I actually open it, and then I'm like, ick, not this family.

01:23:06.980 I want the family in the magazines and on TV, not this family.

01:23:11.540 For that, you can rent a Hallmark family.

01:23:14.100 There is a service you can rent?

01:23:15.860 I'm forming a service.

01:23:16.960 Okay.

01:23:17.360 All right.

01:23:17.880 So, anyway, 23andMe, the health and ancestry kid.

01:23:21.240 I've just taken this, and I will know if that kid is related to me.

01:23:25.980 They have this new thing where you can find the people who are in your family tree.

01:23:32.820 And you can, you know, contact them if they opt in.

01:23:36.520 I'm opting in because I just want to call people that I think, you know, any relative of mine that lives, like, in New York or California, I want to know.

01:23:43.840 Because I'm going to call them.

01:23:44.480 I so hope it turns out you're, like, cousins with Paul Krugman or something.

01:23:47.920 Oh, my gosh.

01:23:48.200 Wouldn't that be great?

01:23:48.680 You have to call them and go, hey, guess what?

01:23:50.320 Turns out we're related.

01:23:51.320 Hey, let's have a family reunion.

01:23:53.240 Anyway, the Ancestry Kit also teaches you about your health, your traits, and more than 125 personal insights.

01:24:00.520 It is 23andMe.com.

01:24:03.440 And is it slash Beck?

01:24:05.100 Yeah.

01:24:06.160 23andMe.com slash Beck.

01:24:08.360 Get the kit.

01:24:09.360 Take it with me.

01:24:11.020 23andMe.com slash Beck.

01:24:13.840 The secure DNA testing kit.

01:24:17.460 23andMe.com slash Beck.

01:24:19.860 Okay, here's, here's, here's, this is an amazing story.

01:24:34.100 According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, yesterday, a cucumber truck.

01:24:40.860 I already hate this story, Glenn.

01:24:43.400 Bringing in cucumbers?

01:24:44.480 Yeah, we got enough.

01:24:45.580 Thank you.

01:24:46.020 Are you, by any chance, do you hate, and Erheaton is joining me today, do you hate salads as much as I do?

01:24:53.860 Yeah, pretty much.

01:24:54.840 And cucumbers just suck the flavor out of everything.

01:24:57.400 And I had to grow up dealing with them a lot because, Dad, it's easy to grow cucumbers.

01:25:02.280 So, like, rather than growing, like, delicious, like, you grow tomatoes, pretty good tomatoes, but you grow these massive cucumbers.

01:25:06.700 And we would, we'd leave them, we'd go to our neighbor's houses, we'd pass them out.

01:25:09.900 Oh, thank you.

01:25:10.640 And the following day, we'd come back, we'd go, I got more cucumbers.

01:25:12.860 And, like, we don't need them.

01:25:13.560 And so, we would spend the evening putting them on the door like an orphan and ringing the doorbell and running away.

01:25:17.800 So, I associate cucumbers with unnecessary labor and lack of flavor.

01:25:22.720 Right.

01:25:22.860 Okay, so, you, I mean, you spend time in England.

01:25:25.740 Yeah.

01:25:26.540 Is a cucumber sandwich really just bread with cucumbers on it?

01:25:30.720 Yeah, I think that there's butter or something.

01:25:33.340 That's pretty good for English.

01:25:34.000 That's a horrible sandwich.

01:25:35.160 No, by English standards, though.

01:25:36.580 That's pretty good.

01:25:37.480 Because, like, Scottish cuisine is just basically carnival food with sheep in it.

01:25:42.380 Like, take a deep fat fried, like, deep fried Mars bar into deep fried sheep.

01:25:46.880 English food is just boiled.

01:25:48.740 And so, the cucumber sandwich, once you're over there, you're, well, oh, that sounds pretty good, actually.

01:25:52.060 You want me to put a dead fish in a newspaper with some overcooked French fries?

01:25:55.860 I'll eat the cucumber sandwich.

01:25:56.840 Okay, all right.

01:25:57.420 Okay, I look at it.

01:25:58.480 Anyway, so this cucumber truck is coming across the border.

01:26:01.620 And the canines go crazy, and they find what I would describe as a weapon of mass destruction.

01:26:10.160 They find 254 pounds of fentanyl.

01:26:17.180 That's a lot of fentanyl.

01:26:18.620 Yeah, it's enough fentanyl.

01:26:23.080 If you have prescription from a doctor, fentanyl is an end-of-life, hospice-only drug, okay?

01:26:32.940 It is only given out in the most significant and end-of-life scenarios.

01:26:39.380 Or, in my case, they gave it to me because no drugs work on me.

01:26:43.360 Or your doctors didn't like you.

01:26:44.960 That's a very good possibility.

01:26:46.440 It was up in the Northeast, but I had a fentanyl patch for three days, and I took it off in the middle of the night because I didn't even know what it was.

01:26:57.080 I'd never even heard of fentanyl, but I knew whatever that was is going to kill me and took it off and then read the box the next day.

01:27:06.680 This is how powerful fentanyl is.

01:27:08.480 Think of a fentanyl patch as, like, you know one of those big Band-Aid butterfly bandages?

01:27:15.720 Yeah.

01:27:16.080 That are kind of, you know, like an inch and a half.

01:27:18.280 I get into a lot of bar fights, so I'm not familiar with the concept, yeah.

01:27:21.140 All right.

01:27:21.540 So, think of it, a fentanyl patch, about like that, okay?

01:27:25.520 And it just has some fentanyl on the pad.

01:27:32.840 That's what you put on.

01:27:34.760 And if you put it on without rubber gloves and you touch it with one hand and then touch it with another hand, you could get a double dose of it and it can kill you.

01:27:47.340 Okay?

01:27:47.960 Okay.

01:27:48.260 That's how powerful this is.

01:27:50.880 So, like, on a scale of, like, Advil to fentanyl, fentanyl is, like, at least three times as powerful as Advil.

01:27:59.100 Yeah.

01:27:59.700 Okay.

01:27:59.960 That seems like...

01:28:01.120 Follow the directions very carefully.

01:28:03.400 Okay, cool.

01:28:03.960 Okay.

01:28:04.200 All right.

01:28:04.400 So, 254 pounds, to put this into perspective, 254 pounds of fentanyl is enough for 57 million Americans to overdose and die on.

01:28:19.560 Okay.

01:28:21.500 254 pounds of fentanyl, 57 million Americans could be dead from that.

01:28:29.960 That is a weapon of mass destruction.

01:28:33.120 Is it not?

01:28:35.780 Yes.

01:28:36.320 I mean, presumably, they weren't trying to weaponize it, right?

01:28:39.520 Well, no, they were not trying to weaponize it.

01:28:41.280 Or maybe they were going to Canada.

01:28:42.740 Maybe they were just passing through.

01:28:43.980 Yeah.

01:28:44.200 May I make this case?

01:28:46.260 Okay.

01:28:47.260 Are you familiar with the opium wars?

01:28:50.640 England and China?

01:28:51.400 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:28:52.060 Tell me what you know about the opium wars.

01:28:53.680 Because I knew nothing about it.

01:28:54.780 So, if you don't know anything about it, that's fine.

01:28:56.940 But tell me what you think you know about the opium wars.

01:28:59.500 So, the British Empire was helpfully going around the world, organizing people's things for them, and building railroads and infrastructure.

01:29:07.760 Sure.

01:29:08.220 And they happened to make a stop off in China.

01:29:12.320 And they and the – I think the Chinese basically were like, hey, quit selling us opium.

01:29:17.520 And the British were like, no, we're going to keep selling you opium.

01:29:19.260 So, they went to war with them to force the Chinese to buy their opium.

01:29:23.080 Okay.

01:29:24.440 That's my vague recollection from when I was in England.

01:29:27.560 Kind of.

01:29:27.940 I think that's how they explained it to me.

01:29:29.120 Kind of.

01:29:29.600 That is like saying the founding fathers all got together and said, you know, we just – we want to be able to not have tea time anymore.

01:29:40.740 And so, they founded Canada.

01:29:42.740 Yeah.

01:29:42.860 You're close.

01:29:43.840 Okay.

01:29:44.200 But not exactly right.

01:29:45.680 I'm in the ballpark.

01:29:45.760 You're in the ballpark.

01:29:46.660 I'm using the right terms.

01:29:46.880 Right.

01:29:47.160 Okay.

01:29:47.320 So, here's what the opium wars were.

01:29:53.260 There was a – I think a blockade on China.

01:30:00.680 And there was a trade war going on between China and England.

01:30:05.520 I'm going to butcher this.

01:30:06.480 So, I am also kind of – it ends up with the Declaration of Independence being signed in Montreal.

01:30:12.480 Right.

01:30:12.720 Yeah, yeah.

01:30:13.160 But I'm closer.

01:30:15.840 Maybe it was signed at Niagara Falls.

01:30:19.600 So –

01:30:19.800 I guess the Declaration of Independence would be so much more pretentious if it had been signed in Montreal.

01:30:24.520 It would be terrible.

01:30:25.260 There would be lots of French in it.

01:30:26.420 Right.

01:30:26.740 It would be awful.

01:30:27.280 Yeah.

01:30:27.580 It would have been in two languages.

01:30:28.900 Yeah.

01:30:28.920 It would have – we would not have gotten very far.

01:30:30.620 Anyway.

01:30:32.240 You are not good for my ADD, man.

01:30:34.880 So, what happened is there was a trade war.

01:30:38.900 We needed – England needed to break it up.

01:30:41.300 And so, what they did is they went to India and said, sell us opium.

01:30:47.900 So, they sold the opium.

01:30:50.580 The Indians sold the opium to the British who then took it to the border of China.

01:30:56.460 And the Chinese wanted – the Chinese people wanted the opium.

01:31:01.740 Yeah.

01:31:02.520 Why were we selling the – why was England selling the opium to the Chinese?

01:31:08.600 Because they knew they could get them addicted and it would weaken them.

01:31:14.280 Oh.

01:31:14.640 So, the Chinese were fighting back because the –

01:31:17.420 This makes me rethink the British Empire.

01:31:19.300 No.

01:31:19.540 It doesn't seem like they're –

01:31:20.600 No.

01:31:20.660 You know, they're just helpfully, you know, building telegraph lines everywhere.

01:31:24.140 No.

01:31:24.520 And so, that's what the war was over.

01:31:26.560 They said, stop bringing this illegally across our border and selling it to our people.

01:31:32.400 Well, isn't that what Mexico is doing to us?

01:31:35.960 I mean, is the state of Mexico doing it or are there narco-traffickers doing it?

01:31:38.560 The narco-traffickers.

01:31:39.300 Okay.

01:31:39.540 However, if you heard about the border, remember, what did they say when Donald Trump said, all this fentanyl, all these opioids are coming across the border?

01:31:50.280 What did they say?

01:31:52.260 Is he very orange?

01:31:54.800 We don't get much opioid.

01:31:56.900 We don't get much fentanyl.

01:31:58.520 We don't get that.

01:31:59.800 First of all, it doesn't come – most of it doesn't come across the border.

01:32:02.700 It comes into our ports from Mexico, but the biggest importer is China.

01:32:10.380 So, China is now making opioids and fentanyl and doing what the English did to us.

01:32:19.920 Guys, we're not even the same country anymore.

01:32:21.240 We broke up with them, China.

01:32:22.360 You should send it to England.

01:32:23.860 That's fair.

01:32:25.120 I mean, that's how history works.

01:32:26.980 But history works –

01:32:28.240 With the fentanyl, though, did it come through – was this stopped at a checkpoint?

01:32:32.200 Or were they trying –

01:32:33.280 No, it was a checkpoint.

01:32:34.160 Because then that would not really deal with the wall, right?

01:32:36.640 Correct.

01:32:37.060 Okay.

01:32:37.340 Correct.

01:32:37.600 This did go over a checkpoint.

01:32:39.220 Yeah.

01:32:39.960 But what I find interesting is if that's coming over a checkpoint, how much is coming over elsewhere?

01:32:48.700 Because you wouldn't think you'd be 254 pounds of fentanyl in a cucumber truck.

01:32:53.460 That's worth a lot of money.

01:32:55.200 I don't think I'm bringing it across the border.

01:32:57.060 I think I would try to get that across the border, not in a cucumber truck.

01:33:00.500 Yeah, that was your move right there.

01:33:02.080 No one in America is going to welcome a cucumber truck coming in.

01:33:04.820 Right.

01:33:05.160 We're going to put it in an empanada truck.

01:33:06.940 I would have waved it through.

01:33:07.940 Thanks, guys.

01:33:09.100 Come on in.

01:33:12.160 All right.

01:33:12.660 Our sponsor is Liberty Safe.

01:33:15.140 Liberty Safes are great.

01:33:18.180 And they're great for more than just your guns and ammo.

01:33:21.260 I mean, that's what I store in my safes.

01:33:23.340 And I do have more than one safe because what happened is I bought a safe and it was a smaller

01:33:34.880 one.

01:33:35.640 And I thought, no, I'm just going to put my rifles and my guns in there.

01:33:39.500 And then I realized that's not enough room.

01:33:42.440 So I had to buy another small one and I bought another small one.

01:33:46.380 And now they're both so full that I cannot close them.

01:33:49.120 Buy a big one.

01:33:50.040 I just keep them in my umbrella stand.

01:33:51.640 Should I get a safe?

01:33:52.720 I would say, yeah.

01:33:54.160 Okay.

01:33:54.420 And I question you for having an umbrella stand as a.

01:34:00.060 I'm tidy.

01:34:00.920 As a straight 30 year old single male.

01:34:04.680 Thank you.

01:34:04.980 35.

01:34:05.500 Thank you.

01:34:05.880 35.

01:34:06.640 I don't understand the umbrella stand.

01:34:08.840 Well, it's an umbrella stand and a rifle stand.

01:34:10.640 So it's, you know, it's multi use.

01:34:11.920 Okay.

01:34:12.160 All right.

01:34:12.500 Okay.

01:34:12.820 But you get those confused.

01:34:13.880 That's a bad day.

01:34:14.680 Yeah.

01:34:14.960 You don't want to go out there and try to open up your umbrella and just indiscriminately

01:34:17.480 fire into the sky.

01:34:18.560 Okay.

01:34:18.860 Anyway, Liberty Safes are the best built safes on the planet bar none.

01:34:24.080 And their engineers have developed the newest revolution in home safes.

01:34:27.100 It's a military style locking bar.

01:34:29.260 I have one.

01:34:30.220 They are.

01:34:31.060 This is a sweet safe.

01:34:32.600 Go to Liberty Safe and just check it out.

01:34:34.560 But please, the number one, the number one complaint on Liberty, this is honest to God

01:34:41.060 true.

01:34:41.600 The number one thing that customers complain about is their choice.

01:34:46.080 They say, I should have bought a bigger one.

01:34:49.080 Liberty Safe.

01:34:50.240 Check them out now.

01:34:50.940 Best built safe on the planet bar none.

01:34:52.820 It is LibertySafe.com.

01:34:54.300 That's LibertySafe.com.

01:34:57.280 10 seconds.

01:34:57.920 Station ID.

01:35:04.560 You know, I have to play Ashton Kutcher and his response on pro-life being pro-life.

01:35:26.240 I haven't heard this yet, but this was probably the biggest video in America yesterday when

01:35:31.980 it comes to politics.

01:35:33.960 Here's Ashton Kutcher.

01:35:36.720 Oh, you don't have it?

01:35:38.200 Oh, I thought I sent it in earlier today.

01:35:40.460 Well, let's see if you can get it because I want to play it once before we leave.

01:35:44.160 So maybe we can do that at the end of the hour.

01:35:46.600 I've got a lot of stuff because Monday we're doing a show on abortions, so I have a lot

01:35:54.060 of stuff on colonial American abortions, which is only interesting to really people

01:35:59.680 like you and me.

01:36:00.220 I was going to say, I'm intrigued by that because kind of what we designate as moral

01:36:05.340 and immoral, what we designate as legal and illegal, those change over time, and I'm

01:36:08.700 curious to what colonial Americans thought.

01:36:10.600 Uh, colonial Americans thought that, uh, uh, colonial Americans thought that, uh, abortion

01:36:18.180 after what was called the quickening, which is in, in, uh, the, what is it?

01:36:21.920 The, the, the, the Highlander.

01:36:23.400 That's when all the immortals come together.

01:36:25.580 Oh, no, that's, that's way late.

01:36:27.180 That's like 18 term abortion, right?

01:36:29.240 Terrible.

01:36:29.760 Yeah.

01:36:30.120 No, that's not it.

01:36:31.340 Uh, the quickening is when you can feel the baby move inside of a woman.

01:36:35.200 Yeah.

01:36:35.520 Uh, but it was interesting.

01:36:36.500 The first abortion trial, uh, happened under John Smith.

01:36:41.460 Remember John Smith and Pocahontas.

01:36:43.180 So the first one happened with John Smith and he had to decide the innocence, uh, or guilt,

01:36:48.000 uh, of this individual.

01:36:49.780 And it was, uh, let me see if I can, uh, find it.

01:36:52.520 Uh, the deposition came in from Dorcas Howard.

01:36:58.560 Oh, poor Dorcas Howard.

01:37:00.000 I already feel really, whoever this person is, I feel sorry for him.

01:37:02.520 I don't imagine that an easy childhood.

01:37:03.920 Yeah, no, it was a woman too.

01:37:05.140 Dorcas.

01:37:05.680 Dorcas.

01:37:06.040 You're like, Oh, what are you guys doing?

01:37:07.960 Just go with Susan.

01:37:08.960 Susan's a fine name.

01:37:10.520 Dorcas.

01:37:11.200 So anyway, she was an unmarried servant.

01:37:13.160 And the thing I found in the research yesterday was that most of the women that had abortions,

01:37:18.920 not all, but most of the women who had abortions were servants in the house.

01:37:23.320 They were white, but they were servants in the house.

01:37:26.020 And because, you know, um, not slave servants, but, uh, what do you call it?

01:37:31.220 Indentured servants.

01:37:31.980 So they would get together and miss Howard was an unmarried servant.

01:37:36.580 Um, and she was arrested after she gave birth in secret to a son.

01:37:41.360 Uh, and what she did, uh, was really quite horrible, uh, to this, uh, to this kid.

01:37:48.140 Um, but the people that went to jail, according to, to John Smith's, uh, decision was not only, uh, for her, but the guy who fathered the child also went to jail.

01:38:05.600 Um, and then there's a, uh, there's a few things, one, uh, one, um, woman was executed, um, because she killed her, her, her child.

01:38:16.740 Um, the, uh, most of them really happened when it was a man raping or, or taking a servant and having his way.

01:38:28.600 And then they couldn't get married, but it was interesting to me was a lot of them, uh, went to trial and, uh, they were both punished, uh, for whatever.

01:38:41.000 And then they ended up marrying each other.

01:38:43.680 Like, like the crisis brought them together emotionally.

01:38:47.140 I don't, this has been tough.

01:38:48.440 We have to wear these scarlet letters, but I, I really have got to know you a lot better.

01:38:52.000 Dorcas.

01:38:52.700 Let's get hitched.

01:38:53.660 I don't know.

01:38:54.200 But what was interesting to me also was that it wasn't just on the women.

01:38:57.960 You think, oh, well, it was just the women.

01:38:59.560 No, a lot of times the women now, remember we're talking 1600s, uh, the women were whipped and the men were whipped for adultery, but it was the man who ended up, uh, serving the time or getting the punishment for the abortion.

01:39:15.680 Wait, so, so would they, was it permissible to get an abortion if it was out of wedlock?

01:39:20.940 Is that what I'm getting?

01:39:21.660 Or is it, they would try and do it and the colonials would go, you can't do that.

01:39:24.420 You can't do that.

01:39:25.080 I don't care if you're married or not married.

01:39:26.680 You can't kill your child.

01:39:28.740 Yeah.

01:39:29.780 And, uh, so that's, that's, uh, that's where they were.

01:39:32.460 And, uh, it looks like, I mean, maybe we can, maybe we can just go, you know, back to, I have a, uh, I have a warrant for the arrest of a woman named, uh, Anna Tratz, Tratsky, Trotsky, Trotsky, Tratsko.

01:39:45.600 I think I can't remember her last name, but a woman, she was in Salem and she was part of the Salem witch trials.

01:39:51.400 And she was a witch because she became pregnant without the help of a man.

01:39:59.160 Oh, wait, was that her?

01:40:00.320 That was her.

01:40:01.140 Oh, I'm going to get in trouble for this.

01:40:02.320 What am I going to claim?

01:40:02.940 I'll just say I'm a witch and no one will think I'm a hussy.

01:40:06.440 Is that crazy?

01:40:07.060 And, uh, yeah, that it back, is that how that started?

01:40:09.320 Yeah.

01:40:09.520 Well, I mean, we all know that's how all babies without a husband.

01:40:14.380 Witchcraft.

01:40:14.920 I, uh, so I, I used to live in Scotland and there's, uh, if you go to the castle Esplanade, there's this placard that it's dedicated to witches that were burned, uh, because the Scots didn't have miniature golf or TV or anything.

01:40:26.780 So they needed hobbies.

01:40:27.600 Right.

01:40:27.860 So they'd burn witches.

01:40:28.720 Right.

01:40:28.940 And there, there's this placard that says, uh, um, you know, many of the women that were burned here, uh, were not bad witches, but good witches.

01:40:36.000 And I'm like, none of them were witches.

01:40:37.380 What's wrong with you?

01:40:38.060 None of these people were witches.

01:40:39.400 And the placards were like 1980.

01:40:41.200 They put up, like, who was in charge of this?

01:40:43.460 Oh, and they were, they were, they would, uh, the Scots would, they, if you were a witch, they would, um, uh, throw you on trial, but they'd throw you into Norlock, which was the, the septic drainage ditch next to the castle.

01:40:54.200 And if you sank, which was unlikely with the way sewage works, uh, that meant you were fine.

01:40:58.420 And they'd write an apologetic letter to your family.

01:41:00.420 If you, if you didn't sink because of, you know, we're buoyant, that meant the devil was underneath you, holding you up, which point they'd burn you at the stake.

01:41:07.300 And this is the nasty part.

01:41:08.340 This is the Scottish bit.

01:41:09.240 They would charge your family for the firewood bill just to like really stick it to you.

01:41:13.840 Oh my gosh.

01:41:15.760 Were the, how did you, I mean, was it a chance you were raised a witch?

01:41:21.140 I mean, it's fully possible.

01:41:23.260 Yeah.

01:41:23.360 I could see that.

01:41:23.840 No, I think, uh, uh, I, I'm, I'm, I'm descended pretty much entirely from rodeo clowns and, rodeo clowns and horse thieves.

01:41:30.340 I don't think we have any witchcraft in the family.

01:41:31.900 Yeah.

01:41:31.920 No, I didn't mean you personally.

01:41:33.360 I didn't know.

01:41:33.960 I mean, because as we learned from the documentary in the 1960s, uh, bewitched, uh, it runs in the family.

01:41:39.760 That's true.

01:41:40.380 So could be, I'm going to have to take it with my mom on that, but I think we're okay there.

01:41:44.440 Yeah.

01:41:44.700 They, uh, they, they, they all sorts of, uh, weird witchcraft thing in, in history that were, and it seems to be a recurring thing.

01:41:50.080 Like there seems to be an instinct for human beings to go, which you know, when in England,

01:41:53.480 um, I, I learned this recently, uh, witchcraft was not considered necessarily satanic up until maybe 1700.

01:42:00.480 So if you go back to, if you're time traveling and you go back to like 1480 England, like there's witchcraft, but it's almost seen as like a, like kind of like the, the evil eye where it's like almost like a, like a magical skill you possess, but it's not necessarily with the dark arts.

01:42:13.100 So I almost bought this piece.

01:42:15.140 And it's the one thing I regret that I was offered in, that's a historic piece that I didn't buy.

01:42:20.120 It was too expensive at the time.

01:42:21.440 And now I, I, I, I do anything to get it.

01:42:24.520 Uh, it was a bowl, a magic bowl that, uh, the Jewish society back in the times of Jesus would put at, they'd turn it over and they'd put it underneath their doorstep.

01:42:35.680 If they believed in sorcery and things like that.

01:42:37.840 And on this was written about the sorcerer, Jesus, uh, from Nazareth, who'd worked all kinds of miracles.

01:42:47.380 And it was something that, that, that tribe associated Jesus as a sorcerer, not son of God as some sort of magician.

01:42:57.900 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:43:04.400 All right.

01:43:05.440 Relationship, uh, tip number one.

01:43:07.720 Uh, and, uh, I can just teach Andrew this because, uh, yeah, he's a 35 and still single.

01:43:15.360 Yeah.

01:43:15.760 It's weird.

01:43:16.240 It's Star Trek.

01:43:17.020 But anyway, um, odd flute.

01:43:19.180 Yeah.

01:43:19.700 I'm taking dates to Star Trek conventions, Glenn.

01:43:21.740 I'm on top of this.

01:43:22.540 Sure.

01:43:22.780 Sure.

01:43:22.960 Uh, so anyway, uh, Valentine's day, uh, do not fall for the, Oh, we don't have to celebrate Valentine's day this year.

01:43:30.880 As they said in star Wars, it's a trap.

01:43:33.900 It's absolutely a trap.

01:43:36.600 You've got to have flowers or roses or something.

01:43:39.760 1-800 flowers.com.

01:43:41.860 Get them now a dozen assorted roses for 1999, or you can upgrade to two dozen assorted roses for $10 more.

01:43:48.920 Great offer from 1-800 flowers.com, but it expires today.

01:43:54.160 So you've got to do it now.

01:43:55.620 1-800 flowers.com 1-800 flowers.com.

01:43:59.520 Use the radio code Beck.

01:44:03.380 I'm going to be in Washington DC next week for our Tuesday coverage of the state of the union.

01:44:08.300 You'll see it beginning on Tuesday, 730 Eastern Facebook, YouTube, and blaze tv.com.

01:44:16.160 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:44:18.040 Our, um, our state of the union, um, coverage on Tuesday at 730 Eastern comes from New York and, uh, Dallas.

01:44:27.680 And we have all kinds of, uh, great coverage and it'll be different coverage.

01:44:31.420 I'm, I'm thinking, cause you strangely are helping in the coverage.

01:44:35.360 Are you?

01:44:36.340 I, I, I am.

01:44:37.320 I think as you, as you know, I am now the, uh, junior assistant Washington correspondent.

01:44:42.340 So I'm, I, it's weird that you guys specified.

01:44:44.600 I'm literally below anyone who works for the blaze in DC.

01:44:48.020 I am the lowest ranking member.

01:44:49.540 However, you did give me a microphone and a camera.

01:44:51.340 Right.

01:44:51.660 And, uh, I, I went out there and I gave it the old college try and there are, uh, there are a lot of things at the state of union address that I, I feel I am able to see that you guys aren't.

01:44:59.920 Like, did you know in the last day of the union address that Justin Amash kept throwing Twinkies up into the gallery?

01:45:04.480 Well, that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

01:45:06.080 I did not know that.

01:45:07.360 It may or may not be true, but I'm pretty sure it is.

01:45:09.300 Right.

01:45:09.320 And, uh, and you actually, I've seen, uh, the photographic evidence strange, uh, strangely that, uh, the, the, the members, I don't know if they're members of Congress or they were just strangely there somehow, but the, uh, there were some people sitting in the seats of, um, uh, in, in Congress that would not stand for the president.

01:45:31.020 And, and that was, this, this is something that, that I just, I can't count and such, I try and be fairly forgiving Glenn, as you know, with, with politics.

01:45:37.700 But, uh, you know, when the, when the president stands up and says American sandwiches are some of the best things in the world and everybody stands, Democrats, Republicans stand up and you know, who's not standing up bears, congressional bears, just hanging out, just giving these weak, limp wrist clapping, like a golf clap.

01:45:54.500 I'm, I'm so unimpressed.

01:45:55.500 And you're going to bring that to our coverage.

01:45:57.360 Yeah.

01:45:57.760 That's the kind of stuff you can expect from me commenting on the state of union.

01:46:01.020 Not what you'll expect from the Washington DC bureau, uh, which would bring you, um, non-bear coverage.

01:46:07.700 No, they're, they're all fixated on what the president says and what it means and all that kind of stuff.

01:46:12.500 I'm keeping my eyes on the, my eyes are on the ball.

01:46:14.820 So very, very different coverage on the blaze, uh, tv.com slash back.

01:46:20.400 Go there.

01:46:20.920 Now you'll be able to see this.

01:46:22.720 It's, I believe commercial free, uh, and it is going to be happening, you know, all night.

01:46:27.920 And you'll be able to watch it on YouTube, on our Facebook page at blaze TV.

01:46:33.280 Uh, and, uh, you'll also as a subscriber, be able to get it, uh, as well.

01:46:37.320 I'm, I'm actually going this year.

01:46:39.060 I have avoided it like the plague.

01:46:42.220 Uh, I have been invited every year to go and I never taken them up on it.

01:46:47.860 Uh, but I, I wouldn't think that you would really like the idea of the state of the union address.

01:46:51.400 I hate the state of the union because you're, you, you're more of your, I get the impression

01:46:55.220 you're more of a Jeffersonian than a Woodrow Wilson devotee.

01:46:57.820 Oh, really?

01:46:58.380 Yeah.

01:46:58.560 I get that impression from you.

01:46:59.720 Yeah.

01:47:00.760 Yeah.

01:47:01.080 So I don't like it.

01:47:01.740 I don't like the pomp and circumstance.

01:47:02.980 I don't like the, you know, Mr. Speaker.

01:47:06.880 I hate that.

01:47:08.480 I hate that.

01:47:09.540 And do you know how to do it in the house of Lords with the queen?

01:47:11.580 Have you ever looked into this?

01:47:12.560 Cause that's what we're doing by the way, is we're doing the dress to the house.

01:47:15.580 We now have royalty.

01:47:16.600 Yeah, that's, it's absolutely, it's, it's the, the Imperial presidency, um, with, I like

01:47:21.400 the British version because I, I think it's very healthy to have the head of state, not

01:47:24.840 have power.

01:47:25.760 Uh, I, I like separating reverence from power.

01:47:27.820 So I think the British have figured that out pretty well.

01:47:29.600 And I think we should make Betty White or Kelsey Grammer, the monarch of America and

01:47:33.300 just not leave them in power.

01:47:34.320 What the, what the queen does is they have, this is part of the whole thing.

01:47:37.360 The queen has a Royal hostage during her parliament address every year that just hangs out

01:47:42.200 of Buckingham palace.

01:47:42.920 That way, if parliament captures the queen, they can murder that member of parliament.

01:47:46.580 Uh, she goes, she goes to the, the, how, well, that used to be how it was, right?

01:47:51.320 Really?

01:47:51.920 Yeah, no, literally.

01:47:52.500 Cause after the glorious revolution, there's this power dynamic shift where it used to be,

01:47:56.680 you know, that the king could dismiss parliament and that kind of stuff.

01:47:59.280 And now, um, parliament's like, no, at the end of the day, we can, and we'll kill you.

01:48:03.540 In fact, they keep the death warrant for Charles, this first in the dressing room, the

01:48:08.840 queen hangs out in before she addresses parliament.

01:48:10.780 That's always there.

01:48:11.580 It's the original death warrant just to remind whoever the queen is at the time that we have

01:48:15.680 and we'll kill again.

01:48:16.540 If you really cross it, holy cow, she, she has the hostage.

01:48:20.360 She comes to parliament and there's this ceremony where she walks over to the house of commons

01:48:25.160 and prepares to enter it.

01:48:26.900 They have to slam the door in her face.

01:48:29.140 Like that's part of the pomp is you, you are not a member of the house of commons.

01:48:33.280 You're, you're a Lord.

01:48:34.160 You cannot enter this.

01:48:35.320 You can't pass this threshold, which is why they do it in the house of Lords.

01:48:38.340 And then she, you know, reads a prepared speech or whatever.

01:48:41.140 And then they all eat, uh, cucumber sandwiches.

01:48:44.080 That is insane.

01:48:45.520 But again, she didn't have any power, which is why I'm fine with that.

01:48:48.420 Like if you just want to, no, I'm not.

01:48:49.740 Cause then what are you paying for?

01:48:51.540 Uh, I, I think that we have as human beings, we have this weird fixation where we want to,

01:48:55.880 we want to have social betters and then we crave their approval.

01:48:58.860 And I, I, I'm not sure we can get rid of that.

01:49:01.160 So I just want to funnel it into something that is not, it, it doesn't have actual power.

01:49:07.520 I, if, if the queen could also set the tax rate, I would abhor that.

01:49:10.860 And I would be a, like an English Republican.

01:49:12.860 Uh, but, uh, but, but as it is, I, I, I think, I think it's cute to have ceremonial.

01:49:17.580 Right.

01:49:18.020 Okay.

01:49:18.280 But she's been a good queen.

01:49:20.540 Yeah.

01:49:21.160 You know, I don't think that that's going to, when, when Charles comes in, I think everybody's

01:49:26.080 going to look at their, their, their checkbook and go, the hell do we have this guy around

01:49:30.020 for, I don't, I don't think that'll, uh, yeah, that could be, you know, it actually, if,

01:49:33.020 if he becomes King, I think, uh, Australia might very well become a Republic.

01:49:36.700 It's right.

01:49:37.020 If you talk to Australians about this, they're like, we'll be, you know, we'll become a Republic.

01:49:40.460 Like if Charles, I can't do an Australian.

01:49:42.220 Well, if, if Charles comes in, we'll be Republic.

01:49:44.620 But if they skip Charles and go straight to William, they'll stay on monarchy.

01:49:48.680 All right.

01:49:49.300 Which is a weird thing to me that, which is exactly what I think the queen is hoping the queen has

01:49:53.140 only been hanging on because she's like, I've got this son.

01:49:55.720 I don't even think he's mine.

01:49:57.520 I swear.

01:49:58.100 I don't remember his birth.

01:49:59.340 Uh, so she wakes up.

01:50:00.760 Everybody goes, is Charles alive?

01:50:02.500 Yes.

01:50:03.400 Oh, I must carry on this time.

01:50:05.560 Right.

01:50:05.980 That's what she's doing.

01:50:07.340 You know, she is a big bucket of fentanyl next to her bed.

01:50:09.540 She would have been dead 20 years ago if her son wasn't Charles.

01:50:13.240 Did you, did you read about a Prince Philip flipped a car two weeks ago?

01:50:16.320 That's the queen's husband.

01:50:17.600 Uh, Prince Philip, 97 years old and he flipped his Land Rover, which, uh, well done.

01:50:23.860 But also why is he driving at all?

01:50:26.380 Shouldn't he have a chauffeur?

01:50:27.240 Like, get on this England, get some crowdsourcing done.

01:50:29.500 Well, we took the keys away from my grandfather.

01:50:31.600 Yeah.

01:50:32.060 I mean, somebody should take the keys away from Philip.

01:50:34.200 I was talking to my dad of a year or two ago and he was describing, uh, my, his grandmother,

01:50:38.740 my great, great grandmother, grandma Bickle.

01:50:40.220 And he's like, oh, she was a tough old bird.

01:50:41.860 Uh, grandma Bickle.

01:50:42.860 I mean, she would, uh, you know, she went blind at 92, quit driving at 94, uh, fixture of the town.

01:50:47.740 And I was like, wait, what, what was the chronology of that?

01:50:50.060 It was like, apparently grandma Bickle, like, just like she memorized all the turns to get

01:50:54.280 to the grocery store and refused to quit driving after she went functionally blind.

01:50:57.820 And they would, I guess like the town people in Alva, Oklahoma would just come out and

01:51:01.700 be like, Ethel's driving.

01:51:03.140 And everyone would scatter and go back into their houses.

01:51:05.440 So I assume that's what they're doing with Philip.

01:51:07.340 Well, it could be, could be.

01:51:08.700 I don't think he's probably out on the roads, which if I can plug it, Chad Prather, uh,

01:51:13.000 beloved funny man here at the place.

01:51:14.100 Now he came on last week, we did a full episode of my podcast.

01:51:17.160 That was a biopic of Prince Philip.

01:51:18.520 So it's just an hour of me talking to the opposite of Prince Philip, which is Chad Prather.

01:51:23.040 Right.

01:51:23.480 Uh, the opposite of British aristocracy about how it works.

01:51:25.680 It was a fun episode.

01:51:26.220 So I know somebody who has met Prince Philip before and, uh, and it was in a military setting

01:51:33.040 and, uh, Prince Philip came up and it was, I don't even know what they have, you know,

01:51:39.280 uh, I don't know, girl scouts and boy scouts is their army who, who knows.

01:51:44.100 Uh, and, uh, right.

01:51:46.320 And so, and so, you know, the boy scouts were, they're probably more like cub scouts and the

01:51:51.900 girl scouts were there.

01:51:53.100 And Prince Philip said, uh, uh, what do you do?

01:51:57.120 And he said to the woman and, uh, she said, uh, well, I'm a physician.

01:52:02.300 And he honestly said, he drew back and said, good God, we do not have women doctors in this

01:52:09.820 country.

01:52:10.160 Now do we, and this was like what last April?

01:52:13.040 Yeah.

01:52:13.220 It was like two years ago, five years ago.

01:52:15.480 This is what people don't understand about Prince Philip.

01:52:17.620 He was born in like 1937.

01:52:19.300 Yeah.

01:52:19.680 No, not earlier than that.

01:52:21.140 Cause he's, cause he was served in world war two.

01:52:23.780 So I'm sure he was born in like, like 1917 or something coming up on it.

01:52:27.380 Actually like 1921.

01:52:28.700 Uh, imagine if you are already a British cartoon character version of a rich person, and then

01:52:35.500 you marry the queen and no one ever expects you to change for the rest of your life.

01:52:39.320 And so you're, you're a cartoon character in 1945 and that's it where he's a, he's a

01:52:43.920 time capsule from 1945.

01:52:45.580 He really is.

01:52:46.000 Cause nobody's going to tell him.

01:52:47.020 No.

01:52:47.180 And that's why he, whenever he goes to countries, like he went to Barbados and just opened up

01:52:50.420 with, uh, you're all descended from pirates.

01:52:52.640 Yes.

01:52:53.180 Like that was his opening line going to Barbados was to insult the entire people.

01:52:57.120 Wouldn't it be great though, to be like that, to be able to be that way, to be just,

01:53:01.620 I don't care.

01:53:02.320 Yeah.

01:53:02.640 What did I say?

01:53:03.240 You're aware that I'm sleeping with the queen, right?

01:53:04.700 And I can say whatever I want.

01:53:06.320 Yes.

01:53:06.680 I don't, I don't care.

01:53:08.060 I'm going to die probably the next two years.

01:53:10.360 I think that's what we have in Donald Trump.

01:53:13.300 I think we have like a Prince Philip that doesn't care.

01:53:16.720 He doesn't care.

01:53:18.340 He's not royalty, but kind of, I mean, he sits in gold chairs a lot.

01:53:21.780 You know, he's doing, yeah, he sits in gold chairs, he's got the, the imperial presidency's

01:53:25.640 already there for him.

01:53:26.420 And you're right.

01:53:26.840 I don't think he cares that much.

01:53:28.280 I don't think he cares.

01:53:28.980 I don't think he cares at all.

01:53:30.320 So anyway, he's going to get up at the state of the union and, uh, and, uh, it should

01:53:35.460 be interesting to watch.

01:53:36.480 I'm, I'm going and we'll be covering it live from Washington, DC.

01:53:40.360 Are you going to bring like a bingo card that you make in advance of things he might say

01:53:43.560 and like, uh, play with other people in the gallery?

01:53:45.720 You know, we might, we, we might want to do a bingo card.

01:53:47.560 Pass them out.

01:53:48.220 We should, we should.

01:53:49.240 That would, I will say that would be a very surreal moment for anyone in the gallery of

01:53:52.380 like, did Glenn Beck just pass you a bingo card?

01:53:55.220 Right.

01:53:55.560 And it says like, America's great.

01:53:58.220 The wall, things like that.

01:53:59.900 Right.

01:54:00.360 Yeah.

01:54:00.520 What will be really surreal is if you're watching at home on Tuesday and you hear somebody from

01:54:05.900 the gallery go, bingo, that will.

01:54:09.320 Glenn, I will give you $50 if you yell, play free bird when the president.

01:54:12.980 No, I don't, I don't think so.

01:54:14.500 Uh, all right.

01:54:15.280 Uh, we're so glad that you're listening.

01:54:17.660 Let me tell you about our, our sponsor this half hour.

01:54:20.600 It is my Patriot supply.

01:54:22.160 Okay.

01:54:22.580 Uh, my Patriot supply, um, is there are the people that will help you be prepared.

01:54:28.020 You just bought some.

01:54:28.880 I just bought some.

01:54:29.560 I have a, I have a bug out bag at home.

01:54:31.360 Uh, that's also, it's like my bug out bag.

01:54:33.040 It's also my camping equipment, but I went ahead and bought a week's, uh, week supply of

01:54:36.200 food, uh, for my Patriot supply.

01:54:37.820 I got it last week and put it in there.

01:54:39.240 You actually do have a bug out bag.

01:54:40.840 I mean, it's a full, like I had a bug out bag.

01:54:42.960 Now it's like a proper, like hiking bag, but I'm, I'm good to go.

01:54:46.140 Like I'm, I'm fine.

01:54:47.140 I'm fine for two weeks.

01:54:48.040 If the, if the grid shuts down, I'm, I'm, I'm on top of something like that.

01:54:51.840 Like an EMP, certainly not going to last more than two weeks.

01:54:54.640 Yeah.

01:54:54.860 I think we'd all tied.

01:54:56.620 FEMA would be on top of stuff.

01:54:58.120 And, uh, they, you know, they're, they're like guys like, like try and make macaroni for

01:55:02.400 a couple of weeks.

01:55:03.000 We'll get things back online.

01:55:04.240 No, it's going to be fine after two weeks.

01:55:06.340 Anyway, uh, there's four week food kit now where you can, uh, where you can actually save

01:55:11.580 a hundred dollars, but you have to do it today.

01:55:14.120 All right.

01:55:14.720 It averages 2000 calories a day for anybody who's eating it, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

01:55:19.940 That's what you need to be able to stay healthy.

01:55:22.520 It's 25 years in storage.

01:55:24.200 Have you eaten any of it?

01:55:25.180 I haven't eaten any of it yet.

01:55:26.120 Okay.

01:55:26.780 I'm actually, I'm going to try it out.

01:55:28.200 Just see what it's like.

01:55:28.840 You are.

01:55:29.200 I was going to say, cause you are, you're a bachelor and I know it just as a, as a married

01:55:33.880 man, my wife has gone away on weekends and I've, I've, you know, kind of prowled around

01:55:40.420 for something easy.

01:55:41.400 And, uh, I would say if I wouldn't get in trouble that, uh, somebody has been dipping

01:55:48.020 into the, uh, my Patriot supply food.

01:55:51.160 Uh, so not all of the kits are complete at this point.

01:55:56.420 Um, are you keeping when the grid goes down or are you going to?

01:55:59.200 Like suddenly find out that you've been, you know, double timing macaroni?

01:56:03.140 No, I, I'm, I'm, you're, you're covered.

01:56:05.220 You're not, no, not me.

01:56:06.740 I'm not going to, but I certainly will talk to my son about him going into that food supply

01:56:12.280 when the wife was, his mom was gone.

01:56:15.500 Cause that's the way it, anyway, uh, you go to prepare with glenn.com right now, prepare

01:56:20.620 with glenn.com and, uh, prepare yourself with my Patriot supply.

01:56:25.160 This special, uh, I believe ends today.

01:56:27.460 It's again, it's a four week supply.

01:56:29.480 You get a hundred bucks off.

01:56:30.640 It is really good food.

01:56:32.440 It's healthy 2000 calories a day.

01:56:34.860 Uh, and you will be prepared for four weeks.

01:56:37.620 My Patriot supply it's prepare with glenn.com or call 800, 200, 71, 63, 800, 200, 71, 63,

01:56:45.700 prepare with glenn.com.

01:56:47.580 Um, do you remember when Howard Schultz from, uh, Starbucks was considered, uh, a liberal

01:56:56.820 Democrat, uh, favored by people on the left, uh, which apparently all changed about four

01:57:05.720 days ago when he decided, uh, to come out and say, Hey, I think you guys are a little

01:57:11.000 bit extreme, uh, and then they all hated him.

01:57:14.540 How dare you?

01:57:15.240 Yeah.

01:57:15.340 That was, it was interesting watching the coverage of that because the reaction was immediate

01:57:19.000 and visceral and widespread.

01:57:20.800 And it was, how dare you?

01:57:23.220 You're a billionaire.

01:57:24.160 So that's terrible.

01:57:25.440 Also, your ideas are awful and you're greedy and we don't like you.

01:57:28.780 We would never vote for you.

01:57:29.760 But more importantly, how dare you not run as a Democrat?

01:57:32.220 I, that seems odd to me that you're, but there's this almost this sort of entitlement

01:57:38.620 idea of like, well, we get to coronate someone and the, the Republicans get to coronate someone

01:57:43.360 and that's it.

01:57:44.260 And like, I, you know, I, I don't, I don't like looking at the parties as these quasi government

01:57:48.260 appendages.

01:57:48.860 You don't have to run as part of them.

01:57:49.960 If you don't want to, you can maybe have more than one of two ideas.

01:57:53.340 That's a possible thing.

01:57:54.140 But what, what is, what's strange to me is how far left this should, this should speak

01:58:01.140 volumes to the average Democrat, because I think there are the, they're the New York

01:58:06.540 and California Democrats, uh, in the parties, uh, and, uh, the Washington Democrat.

01:58:12.600 But then there's the, you know, I don't know, uh, Kansas.

01:58:18.820 I was an Oklahoma Democrat for a while and that's functionally a third party at this point.

01:58:23.520 It's not, it's not, it's not the same thing as a Sacramento.

01:58:26.300 No, no, it, it, it, even, even, uh, Howard Schultz would have been too liberal for that

01:58:32.780 democratic party.

01:58:34.500 And now he is, he's not welcome at all.

01:58:39.320 He is, he is considered what a conservative.

01:58:43.500 Yeah.

01:58:44.020 And I think he would have a better chance of uniting the real democratic voters than any

01:58:52.560 of these crazies that they're running.

01:58:54.180 I think you're right about that.

01:58:55.000 I mean, we're, we're at, she's not eligible to run, but we're at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

01:58:59.520 versus Howard Schultz.

01:59:01.400 I think he, Howard Schultz would ultimately, she would have a much more excited and, uh,

01:59:05.660 an angry base.

01:59:06.840 He would have a much whiter base.

01:59:08.520 Were he able to get the nomination?

01:59:09.840 Yeah.

01:59:10.180 Uh, but as you, as you pointed out, he is drifting dangerously into math and that is not something

01:59:15.100 that is particularly accepted or well liked right now.

01:59:18.740 Right.

01:59:19.040 Democratic circles.

01:59:19.600 Right.

01:59:19.860 But Ocasio-Cortez is, I think, a gift to conservatives all around the country.

01:59:25.340 Yeah.

01:59:25.500 I could see that.

01:59:26.220 Yeah.

01:59:26.440 Cause it's, well, I say, I, she is come on.

01:59:28.780 She would be, she is a, is such an easy target for comedy.

01:59:34.520 She'd be easy Sarah Palin material on Saturday Night Live if she was on the other side.

01:59:41.180 She's no, that's true.

01:59:42.020 She's not, um, she is not a policy heavyweight, but I'll tell you why I'm worried about her

01:59:46.380 though, is I think she's actually, I think she's doing something that's very clever, which

01:59:49.820 is with a 70, 70% tax rate.

01:59:52.500 She knows that's not going to happen.

01:59:53.820 What she's doing is she's shifting the Overton window on the whole debate and it's already

01:59:57.300 happening.

01:59:57.660 You can watch this if you watch CNN or you watch some other media programs where they're

02:00:01.160 like, now is 70 really that high?

02:00:02.700 What if we did, you know, 60% and I'm like, ah, I see what you did there.

02:00:06.860 You just nudged the whole conversation about 40% higher than I'd like it to be.

02:00:11.000 Uh, and, uh, really, cause it's about 37 right now.

02:00:15.240 Is that the top marginal tax?

02:00:16.180 Yeah.

02:00:16.380 I think it's about 70% higher than I'd like it to be.

02:00:20.100 Yeah.

02:00:20.540 Uh, but, uh, maybe that's just, maybe that's just me.

02:00:23.640 I mean, I, I, uh, I want a boutique government.

02:00:26.760 This is what I've, this is the new term I'm trying out, Glenn, because the, the small government

02:00:30.660 that summons these various things, boutique government that I can fit in my glove compartment.

02:00:34.440 That's what I want.

02:00:35.600 Yes, I would, uh, I would agree with that.

02:00:39.000 Um, the problem here is, is that's not the way, uh, our country is headed, at least with

02:00:44.520 the Democrats.

02:00:44.960 And I think while Ocasio-Cortez may be the Overton window mover now, I think she's a

02:00:51.400 serious player for many in the party.
