The Glenn Beck Program - What on Earth is a Flickering Pulse？! ｜ Guest： Mark Levin

00:00:00.000 this is the glenbeck program with pat and stew all this week for glenn 888-727-BECK

00:00:08.420 um we got some fascinating guidelines from npr we'll talk about that later on uh today but also

00:00:17.040 ilan omar and aoc have some brilliant things to share with us uh we'll get to that and much more

00:00:23.240 coming up in about 60 seconds it's pat and stew for glenn uh by the way you can hear my show

00:00:28.960 pack ray unleashed weekday mornings right before glenn and uh and stew i love the show uh it's i

00:00:35.380 mean it's it's incredible i listen every day at work and i and and i love his mix of the 70s 80s

00:00:42.920 90s and today do you like the all request lunch hour i hate the all you do like that yeah because

00:00:48.440 these people who call up and they request songs that are in the 60s or tomorrow and i want 70s 80s

00:00:54.620 90s 2000s and today and for your convenience we do have traffic and weather together every 10

00:00:59.320 minutes on the fours that's good to hear yeah it's good to hear so that's great uh all right

00:01:03.880 american taliban was just released so that's exciting news because i'm i'm pretty sure he's

00:01:08.620 totally reformed totally are you well no i'm not as sure there seems to be a little doubt yeah

00:01:15.520 there seems to be a little teeny bit now they're releasing him early so really you have to release

00:01:22.420 him after 20 years because that's what he was sentenced to right and no matter how he feels

00:01:26.160 after those 20 years you still have to let him go yeah i guess that's true you don't really have

00:01:31.320 to be reformed if you don't have to be if you go through your entire your entire sentence right i

00:01:37.280 mean if you're like to think you would be or are it's kind of the point of it yeah right but i guess

00:01:42.040 if you come out can they keep you in prison if you get sentenced to 20 years and you say you know

00:01:48.420 what i still pretty much like terrorism i guess i won't do it maybe but i'm still advocating for it

00:01:53.460 and then it comes to the end of their term can they just i guess they just have to let you out

00:01:56.940 i i think so because it does not seem like he's reformed i mean no and it's only 17 years so they

00:02:02.420 could keep him in there three years longer which it feels like there are certain crimes pat in which

00:02:08.820 you just don't get out of prison okay and i there's a it's a small subset for me i'll give you an

00:02:16.560 example john hinckley you go and you shoot the president of the united states over jody foster

00:02:22.860 i'm never letting you out of prison well yeah he's like he's like visiting his parents on the

00:02:28.660 weekends and he's out right i mean like he you know yeah that i feel like there's a there's a line

00:02:33.500 there yeah another one is treason against your country if you're going and you're fighting for

00:02:37.980 an opposing force in a war you just i don't know 20 years doesn't seem appropriate to me

00:02:44.020 and the fact that he's only served 17 is is kind of a big deal and then going on going past that

00:02:51.880 it doesn't seem like he's reformed at all and you get these stories every once in a while and we've

00:02:56.100 had people on the show in past years who used to be terrorists and had seemingly had reformed and

00:03:02.580 we're now speaking out against terrorism like that there's a few people who have actually been

00:03:06.820 on the show that have kind of meet that profile but that's not what john walker lind is doing here

00:03:11.760 no i mean it appears as if he's still kind of excited about the whole terrorist thing what was

00:03:19.260 it he said in 2015 about isis 2015 he said uh that isis was doing a quote spectacular job after it

00:03:27.640 beheaded a u.s journalist now okay i will say if the job description description was please when hired

00:03:37.040 you will need to behead a u.s journalist technically i guess they were doing a spectacular job that job

00:03:42.720 done though that's not how i would describe it no i feel like maybe you have a little bit more

00:03:47.580 hesitation in your praise so you might think okay well that was 2015 um in may of 2016 lind continued

00:03:55.200 to advocate for global jihad and to write and translate violent extremist texts he also told a tv news

00:04:02.140 producer he will continue to spread violent extremism and violent extremist islam upon his release

00:04:09.960 i mean it doesn't seem good to me why are we letting this guy go early that's that's uh that's bizarre

00:04:20.600 i just don't understand it i mean it's it's one of those things that like

00:04:24.380 this is a difficult like thing to figure out how to deal with a terrorist in these situations like

00:04:32.300 we're talking about um uh the isis wives right these women they go over they get married off

00:04:37.660 into isis god only knows what happens to him for multiple years then they all feel kind of bad about

00:04:42.240 it like you know hey like i i was i was young i needed the money uh i just thought it would be fun

00:04:49.020 yeah i thought it would be fun and like some of them like they're like well i i was shocked to see

00:04:55.400 in person them burning these people alive in these cages because it felt so much different than i when

00:05:01.200 i watched the video on youtube of them burning them alive in these cages and you're like i can't give you

00:05:05.920 that one no and so the the the conversation has been do we bring the isis wives back to the united

00:05:12.160 states and and have them tried and they want to yeah they should stand trial for treason and i feel like

00:05:18.400 the the most shows that i've heard on the conservative sort of side or people writing

00:05:22.940 about it have said no like these people are are it's a war and they're on the other side of this

00:05:28.820 war and they should be treated like anybody else is on the other side of the war which i think is a

00:05:32.720 legitimate position however if you're if we have a law about treason it's kind of it's it's a big deal

00:05:40.400 right i mean this is a constitutional principle right yeah uh and like it's hard to to envision

00:05:48.220 a more clear example of treason than going over and assisting isis in the middle of a war against

00:05:55.820 us right like i just i mean how do you get more clear than this and yet we will not we never use

00:06:01.780 it we we've just basically we've all decided you know what that part uh of our history yeah you know

00:06:08.240 what it's like it's like a halloween three season of the witch just not part of the series we're just

00:06:12.740 going to ignore that it happened all the other ones are michael myers there's this one where masks

00:06:16.440 attack everybody's head on halloween and it was you know maybe not the best movie in the world

00:06:20.720 but that's the only one we're just going to kind of just disregard we're just going to say no that

00:06:25.880 one didn't happen that was not part of the series and like this like a treason what i don't even

00:06:29.580 know what that is yeah i mean it's so john walker lind wasn't even charged with treason right and

00:06:35.240 that's the problem if you had turned into treason he would not be out of prison right now there you

00:06:39.640 know this is the type of thing that that is is they call for potentially execution for this this is

00:06:45.180 a death penalty uh situation and should be treated as such if you are going to go and remember it's

00:06:52.460 not just that he went and fought with uh the taliban uh he also was involved in the death of the first

00:06:58.720 american serviceman in the afghanistan war um a guy mike span yeah who was a cia member who was uh killed in

00:07:07.800 a prison riot and that prison riot was involving this guy who's about to walk free i mean how is that

00:07:14.660 pretty serious it's certainly not justice yeah but it's it's amazing because of his

00:07:18.940 frequently reported comments that he is not reformed that he wants to continue to do these

00:07:25.780 things they're like there's a very very strict uh release policy pad very very strict i don't know

00:07:31.080 if you've heard this but he uh first of all is uh is going to be monitored by parole officers

00:07:37.440 now that's number one well i want you to think about how serious that is okay he's going to be

00:07:42.040 monitored by parole officers and number two yes he can go on the internet yes he can communicate with

00:07:50.060 whoever he wants to but only in english yeah this guy i think speaks arabic or whatever what is it

00:08:00.140 so he can only can't he can't speak that online he can only do extreme islam jihad in english yes

00:08:09.040 he has to do it in english now if they said he had to do it in haiku i might say okay that's pretty

00:08:14.540 difficult because he's gonna have to continually write haikus uh but no this is he it's legitimately

00:08:21.040 part of his release he can't do he can't speak uh any other languages has to only speak english

00:08:26.180 no i i mean i i guess that's a limitation because we're what we're too lazy to translate what he's

00:08:33.280 typing i what do we and the fact that he's able to actually communicate with other people i mean

00:08:38.620 you know he's on the internet why is he on the internet at all again when he let when he went

00:08:43.640 to prison the internet barely worked okay he's gonna get out of here imagine i mean now he can

00:08:48.000 go anywhere he wants he gets the nice uh 4g or you know soon 5g access got wi-fi everywhere back

00:08:54.380 he's almost in dial-up days when he went out when he got in prison i don't know it just seems like a

00:08:59.500 completely crazy idea to yeah it does especially since he's not he hasn't reformed at all uh and

00:09:06.500 that's it's pretty clear by his statements although uh he he did make an interesting statement to um

00:09:13.880 to the parole board he he he made a 14 minute speech that included had i realized then what i know now

00:09:22.380 about the taliban i i would never have joined them i never understood jihad to mean anti-americanism

00:09:27.800 or terrorism but then you know okay so that's what he said to get out of jail early and then

00:09:33.840 you look at everything else he has said leading up to that um it just looks like he feels the same way

00:09:40.580 he did when he went into prison and we didn't do what we should have done at the time charging him

00:09:48.220 with treason uh and now we're making it even worse by allowing him to to get out early there's no

00:09:54.480 there doesn't seem to be any reason for it why would you let this guy go after 17 years

00:09:59.000 charged as he is with pretty serious offenses like conspiracy to kill u.s nationals that seems like

00:10:06.880 a fairly significant crime yeah i think that's a big one yeah so um in foreign policy magazine reported

00:10:13.000 in 2017 uh that an investigation by the national counterterrorism center found that lind quote

00:10:18.620 continued to advocate for global jihad and to write and translate violent violent extremist

00:10:24.100 extremist texts uh and uh but the the answer though is is pretty good they said for three years he's

00:10:30.420 going to be watched like a hawk oh wow so i mean there you go if you i mean look done three years

00:10:35.680 that's wonderful because that's the time he would normally have been in prison right like so yeah when

00:10:41.440 he would have been in prison they're going to watch him carefully and then he's going to be coming

00:10:45.040 he's just going to be at your local like uh starbucks he's going to be giving you dunkin donuts

00:10:48.900 as you come through and we're supposed to be okay with that what are you an islamophobe all of a

00:10:55.960 sudden is that what you're no you're an islamophobe i am not an islamophobe i will say though if i go

00:11:00.940 to dunkin donuts and i order a croissant sandwich and he hands it to me and he says it in like farsi

00:11:06.940 i am i'm going to report board i'm going to report him he's only supposed to speak in english

00:11:12.020 and i'll be very upset if he says something to me in farsi all right it's pat and stew for glenn

00:11:18.800 this week uh more coming up in 60 seconds pat and stew for glenn 888-727-BECK we've got some wisdom

00:11:26.240 uh from alexandria casio-cortez where where she she's really kind of the wellspring of all wisdom

00:11:33.260 lately she and ilan omar have really shared a lot of it with the united states uh and i appreciate it

00:11:41.620 they've done a great job so far they have i'll say that uh in fact informing us us climate deniers

00:11:49.080 that we have only 12 years before the end of the world yeah which you said on multiple occasions

00:11:55.500 yeah not just once yeah now if you were just kind of making a random comment if you were

00:12:01.000 mistakenly summarizing some in-depth uh piece of evidence from the unipcc you may

00:12:10.780 be surprised to hear that you do that multiple times keep continually doubling down on the same

00:12:15.800 claim um she said famously million millennials and people you know gen z and all these folks that

00:12:21.940 will come after us and we're are looking up and we're like the world is going to end in 12 years if

00:12:26.620 we don't address climate change and your biggest issue is how we're gonna pay for it

00:12:32.160 and that sort of attitude has been repeated multiple times she uh she then doubled down on it when

00:12:41.380 saying for everyone who wants to make a joke about that you may laugh but your grandkids will not

00:12:47.620 which is interesting because if the world is ending in 12 years why how am i having grandkids

00:12:52.260 i mean i you know yeah i my kids are pretty my kids are you know pretty young fairly young so it

00:12:58.280 would be difficult for that to happen but maybe i guess if you're saying someone who already has

00:13:02.280 grandkids or whatever maybe they could in 12 in the 12 year period would happen uh casio cortez

00:13:07.600 later flipped her position in early may referring to the 12 year deadline as merely dry humor and

00:13:12.000 sarcasm now it's interesting because you could you could say casio cortez that was not humor not humor

00:13:17.580 not sarcasm um and you could say that she's just a dunce and just you know screwed it up which is

00:13:22.880 a likely explanation for almost everything she says right uh she's not not the not the brightest bulb

00:13:30.700 however this is something that's been repeated by many of the democratic candidates uh for president i

00:13:35.720 know beto o'rourke has been on that uh bandwagon multiple times and to the point where they actually

00:13:40.540 had to start fact checking this you know they had to go to the actual scientists who did the report

00:13:46.400 they're talking about and say hey um you know do you guys think that the world's going to end in 12

00:13:52.700 years and they said no that's not what we said and they said basically like we're really glad to have

00:13:57.920 a chance to clear this up because no we are not saying that the world is going to end in 12 years

00:14:03.580 the people who wrote the report they're referring to are saying that now just that's how ridiculous this

00:14:09.740 claim is and again they are very alarmist on the climate it's not like these are people who are

00:14:13.640 who are saying oh everything's going to be fine they're saying there's danger but what they're

00:14:17.520 saying these claims are completely ridiculous so ocasio-cortez later on went on to say this is

00:14:23.840 a technique of the gop try to take dry humor and sarcasm literally and fact check it like the world

00:14:29.580 ending in 12 years thing you'd have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it's

00:14:34.500 literal well she's going to be very surprised to hear about a recent poll uh talking about talking

00:14:42.900 about democrats and whether they believe uh the u.s has about 12 years to aggressively fight fight

00:14:48.080 climate change before you know the whole world ends um and there would be disastrous and irreparable

00:14:53.280 damage to the country and the world 67 percent of democrats have the social intelligence of a sea

00:15:00.100 sponge according to ocasio-cortez's own own definition uh two-thirds of democrats say that yes 12 years is how

00:15:09.460 long we have and you know of course they said it so many times it's not surprising that the democratic

00:15:15.600 voters would believe it but the idea that it was some joke or some you know anything other than a

00:15:21.480 typical ocasio-cortez moment we now know to be ridiculous and in her her attempt to get out of

00:15:26.840 it she's called two-thirds of her own voters morons or sea sponges which is a tad problematic i guess

00:15:34.220 um but also accurate i feel like this is the one thing you know every once in a while we

00:15:38.400 we can come across something where ocasio-cortez nails it agree yeah yeah and it's important to

00:15:43.220 point that out i think and i think people doubt us when we say hey if if these people we disagree

00:15:48.240 with really strongly say something that we agree with we'll give them credit yeah um and we're giving

00:15:53.760 her credit right like she's right she is right they have the intelligence of a sea sponge if you think

00:15:59.260 the world is going to end in 10 years you have the social intelligence of a sea sponge and we

00:16:04.240 agree with ocasio-cortez on that i mean finally she's nailed something yeah and we can sit here

00:16:10.060 and deny just because she's from the other party because she's from the other side of the aisle we

00:16:13.920 can say no democratic voters don't have the social intelligence of a sea sponge but she's accurately

00:16:19.800 described this yeah and she's right on it she's nailed it is due and who are we just because she has a

00:16:26.860 d after her name to say that she's wrong that's that democratic voters have more intelligence than

00:16:32.040 a sea sponge that would be wrong pat we are we are all about bringing people together how many times

00:16:38.480 has glenn talked about this oh many many bringing people together from both sides of the aisle here's

00:16:43.400 ocasio-cortez outlining in extreme detail with incredible accuracy describing the intelligence

00:16:51.240 of a democratic voter and she nails it and what are we going to do come in here and say oh you know

00:16:56.940 what we don't like we don't like her policies we disagree no we agree with her right now if she'd

00:17:03.960 like to change it and say that that those same democrat voters have all the intelligence of a bathroom

00:17:09.360 bull brush i'm willing to look into that as well yes because you're open you have an open mind yes

00:17:15.220 i mean they did vote for her many of them and so uh we could look into that uh statement as well if

00:17:22.360 she ever makes it but for now it's the sea sponge thing and we agree it's unbelievable i just the idea

00:17:31.940 that you know there's just another thing that came out the other day cnn sent out one of their

00:17:36.040 fancy alerts on the phone and it was like a worst case scenario um sea levels could rise by blah blah

00:17:43.780 by the end of the center you know like the typical you know thing you've heard a hundred times the

00:17:48.700 claims that everyone's going to die and at least this time they included worst case scenario around

00:17:54.600 it because this is what they're always doing they cite the worst possible thing that can happen

00:17:59.640 they act as if it's the only thing that can happen and then complain that we're not taking enough

00:18:04.400 action well you know what people stop believing you when you say the sky is falling you know when it

00:18:09.700 doesn't fall people are like well i don't know maybe what you know i don't really believe them

00:18:15.700 you know and they're going to try to do the same thing with these they had these tornadoes that have

00:18:19.440 hit the midwest and been really devastating uh missouri was a big one iowa there was uh there was a lot

00:18:24.400 as well uh but i mean again when you look at the the global trends and in the u.s trends for tornadoes

00:18:31.840 there is a slight decrease over the last hundred years but they will still watch the news tonight you will see

00:18:37.460 them blaming these tornadoes on climate change and expecting you to believe it and i don't know i

00:18:43.920 just feel like the american people have more intelligence than sea sponge and can probably

00:18:48.920 pick up the accuracy but we'll see we'll see pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program

00:18:55.440 triple eight seven two seven beck must be really fun uh for the president to have to meet on a regular

00:19:00.500 basis with people who absolutely hate his guts that just hate everything about him and you have to sit

00:19:06.840 there and and attempt to get along with them you mean nancy and chuck yeah because he always says

00:19:13.760 that he likes nancy and chuck and he kind of gets them right like he yeah he because they obviously

00:19:18.820 hate his guts and surely at some level he hates theirs as well though he tries to to keep a positive

00:19:26.300 face on that relationship at the very least right like he does kind of say well you know i get them

00:19:31.900 i think you know i understand i've dealt with people like that my whole life i get who they are

00:19:35.920 which is certainly a demeaning way of saying it and i think he likes that but also i think there is

00:19:41.460 something there where he thinks they're so transactional you know they're so you know they're so

00:19:48.860 transparent when it comes to this stuff that they will trade they'll do the horse trading of of what

00:19:55.240 they want for what the other side wants they can be theoretical deal makers if you don't mind giving up

00:20:00.280 a couple of trillion dollars you know it's just a couple of trillion it's just the two trillion

00:20:05.180 though that's two trillion they're not asking for a lot of money no two trillion dollars two is a

00:20:10.320 really small number right it's really small i mean this there's only one one or one or two numbers

00:20:15.800 smaller right you know and uh i i now i i do like one of the smaller numbers which is zero trillion

00:20:21.980 i am nice i'm on i'm on team zero trillion yeah i am too but i was devastated yesterday when i heard

00:20:29.660 that they got into a little tiff and we're not going to get our two trillion dollars of infrastructure

00:20:32.780 spending well let's hope that keeps up they don't find a way to come back together on that because

00:20:37.780 it's bad well last time they met as friends it went from one trillion to two trillion yes so i don't

00:20:42.820 want them to be friends no people like i can't believe these people can't work together look what

00:20:46.440 happens when they work together only bad things an extra trillion dollars now look we do need

00:20:52.220 infrastructure spending pat i was just traveling uh not wait you traveled yeah i traveled uh it was risky

00:20:58.760 not by air yeah by air oh my gosh you found an airport that wasn't crumbling well i can't say

00:21:04.300 that unfortunately i was at the airport and like an uh an action adventure movie i was running a full

00:21:10.180 sprint as the entire airport was collapsing behind me and just missing the backs of my heels uh and i

00:21:16.200 had to i did have to jump over a large chasm uh where uh to leap to the other side was there

00:21:21.260 did you shout out across that chasm i'm israel i did not you didn't i didn't do that

00:21:28.120 okay but i did survive there was no time to shout across the chasm you just leapt across the chasm

00:21:33.540 uh i did leap across the chasm and i did turn back just at the at the moment to see uh a sad

00:21:41.300 taco bell employee sucked into oh yeah no because they lost one they have one of those airport uh taco

00:21:48.340 bells and that thing and i did save a couple bean burritos but i was unable to save the human life

00:21:54.160 uh that went into the chasm i mean we act as if we are like there's no central african republic

00:22:00.480 roads there's no airports yeah no technology no bridges no airports we're just crumbling everywhere

00:22:05.660 and it's like how how often do we have is there a certain requirement for a human being in their life

00:22:12.640 to have to fall for that like how many times are we and we fell for it in 09 yeah and spent 787

00:22:22.260 billion dollars which i turned into like 840 yes or afterwards and then up to maybe a billion or more

00:22:28.500 or a trillion excuse me i think it was over a trillion eventually and that didn't get us a

00:22:34.460 better infrastructure we did get us some shovel ready jobs i saw some signs about it oh yeah lots

00:22:39.420 of signs about that particular infrastructure spending and now here we are you know one

00:22:43.820 president later in his first term and we need another two trillion dollars of infrastructure

00:22:48.960 spending like i no like that is i'm gonna say no to it i'm gonna say no so i'm glad i think people

00:22:55.080 like i can't believe they can't work together good the last thing we need are people like you know

00:22:59.400 uh nancy pelosi and chuck schumer to work with the when you work with people like nancy pelosi and chuck

00:23:06.580 schumer you wind up on the short end of the stick every time because she's still gonna go out and

00:23:11.440 call you uh satan in front of every camera so why meet with her at all i right before their meeting

00:23:17.720 she's talking about this massive cover-up that he's responsible for and there's a just a part of me and

00:23:23.420 it's a small part pat that has a little skepticism as to how real these events actually are like does

00:23:30.140 nancy pelosi really expect to have a pleasant meeting with donald trump when right before she

00:23:36.340 walks into the meeting she says he's covering up an impeachable offense like come on she she's doing

00:23:41.500 this intentionally she's goading him into a fight right yes she looks like she's weak with her people

00:23:45.660 because she has not endorsed impeachment yet so she's trying to now this is her effort to appease

00:23:50.880 her base and look tough and look tough and i think honestly there's a nice chunk of this out of out of

00:23:56.100 the trump administration as well as she says he says these things in front of the camera they're

00:24:01.380 supposed to meet up then right after that he walks into the meeting says look you know you're not gonna

00:24:06.960 you know tell me that i'm involved in a cover-up and then have this nice meeting with me about

00:24:12.560 infrastructure spending we're not doing both of these things at the same time you know get out

00:24:15.880 and then he walks out which i like by the way which i like and that yeah i want him to say that all

00:24:19.800 the time whether she's whether she says things in front of the camera or not because i don't want to

00:24:24.540 spend another two trillion dollars however then he walks into another uh the other side of the

00:24:29.560 building and has a press conference all ready to go with a pre-printed sign about what it's about

00:24:34.960 and somehow they were able to print it they just predict in advance they print signs really quickly

00:24:39.240 at the white house yeah they've got a really good printing team and he's like look i'm we're not going

00:24:44.060 to do both of these things and uh you know i was these investigations have to stop yeah it just

00:24:48.340 there's a part of me that thinks that this is just all both of them playing to their bases here's

00:24:52.720 what president trump had to say more quiet well it turns out i'm the most and i think most of you

00:25:01.540 would agree to this i'm the most transparent president probably in the history of this country

00:25:07.460 we have given on a witch hunt on a hoax the whole thing with russia was a hoax as it relates to

00:25:17.360 the trump administration and myself it was a total horrible thing that happened to our country

00:25:24.000 it hurt us in so many ways despite that we're setting records with

00:25:28.200 the economy with jobs with the most most people employed today that we've ever had in the history

00:25:35.080 of our country we have the best unemployment numbers that we've had in the history of our

00:25:41.180 country in some cases 51 years but generally in the history of our country companies are moving

00:25:47.980 back in things are going well and i said let's have the meeting on infrastructure we'll get that

00:25:53.180 done easily that's one of the easy ones and instead of walking in happily into a meeting i walk in to

00:26:01.920 look at people that had just said that i was doing a cover-up i don't do cover-ups it doesn't do

00:26:09.260 cover-ups so look done and so he doesn't want to go down this road which is disappointing because

00:26:15.480 i was on my way to work today oh my gosh the collapsing bridges did you i got through that

00:26:20.720 i got oh you did yeah i got the collapsing bridges all right um however i was driving on the highway

00:26:24.920 and i noticed uh there's a large silver thing to my right realize a train that had come off the

00:26:30.480 track somewhere was just speeding down the highway without i mean so that's that shouldn't happen no

00:26:36.420 we that's why we need these extra it's not good for the train and it's not good for the pavement

00:26:40.180 no it rips up the pavement it does seriously which is already ripped up yeah uh a lot you can barely

00:26:47.000 drive on it yeah it's true especially when all the bridges are collapsing around there yeah uh it's a

00:26:51.860 problem it's a problem look i i uh i have this weird thing which is i'm concerned about the 20 to 30

00:27:01.540 trillion dollars in debt we currently have in the 100 to 200 trillion dollars of debt that are already

00:27:06.340 scheduled and we have no way of paying for the idea that we're going to come out and spend an extra

00:27:09.780 two trillion dollars because afterwards you know chuck and nancy can have a bipartisan moment no thank

00:27:17.280 you no thank you we can't even come up with a budget we haven't come up with a budget in 10 years

00:27:23.180 there's not been a national budget since 2009 we've got these continuing resolutions that run the country

00:27:30.120 and operate our government and we can't even so much as sit down and decide what we're going to

00:27:35.300 spend every year and and try to spend just what we have there's no reason to be doing two trillion

00:27:43.940 dollar anythings really we can't afford it we can't afford it and we're just putting all of this burden

00:27:50.780 onto our our children and more likely our grandchildren and great-grandchildren because you can't you can't pay

00:27:56.640 this debt you can't pay it i'm of the opinion i'm of of the four great uh school of thought which is

00:28:02.520 anything past great great great great grandchildren they gotta fend for themselves i i you know i'll

00:28:07.460 care about my children and my grandchildren my great-grandchildren so we're talking third grade

00:28:12.400 what i think third grade i will care about when you're at great great great great grandchildren

00:28:18.160 look figure it out i don't know you got a long time you know do something for yourself you know

00:28:24.980 i mean yes i may where am i spending money that probably they won't even pay back sure yes i mean

00:28:30.860 how responsible am i supposed to be by that yeah how about this by that time figure out how to live

00:28:35.780 on another planet and go back to zero on the budget okay i don't know figure it out you got a lot of got

00:28:40.100 a lot of time there you know we're talking four or five generations be you got to show a little

00:28:44.980 ingenuity you know and it's comforting to know that we've actually got people working on that

00:28:49.580 we actually have people working on living on another planet yeah bezos is very excited about

00:28:54.620 it elon's in there elon's yeah he's doing it yeah he's they're both in that world uh rich branson's

00:29:00.700 in that world um and nasa is apparently getting into that world they're talking about uh putting a

00:29:07.060 permanent base on the moon so that they can eventually go to mars and beyond and start all of

00:29:12.580 these uh civilizations on other planets now would you spend two trillion dollars on infrastructure on the

00:29:17.440 moon and that's a whole nother question i feel like that's that's something we could be we could

00:29:22.380 talk about i think we could get together on that maybe because i mean if we could all just go i mean

00:29:26.960 we could if we had like an elysium type of situation where at any point we can just kind of escape the

00:29:32.340 earth and there's some nice infrastructure there may be a high-speed train or some sort to get around

00:29:37.360 the craters like in every movie there's high-speed high-speed trains on mars or the moon or wherever

00:29:43.340 we happen to land i love that they were they were criticizing trump he's like oh he really likes

00:29:47.320 infrastructure what about the california train situation are you still pushing for that didn't

00:29:51.680 the democrat didn't gavin newsom cancel it i mean yes i mean because it was way over budget even

00:29:57.360 gavin newsom said no to it this train thing drives me crazy i just don't understand why people are so

00:30:03.460 infatuated with freaking trains trains suck they suck i had to ride them every single day when we lived in

00:30:10.520 new york and they blow they are terrible we they have the situation in california where they're

00:30:18.660 going to spend it was initially supposed to be like 1.5 billion dollars and then initially it got

00:30:23.280 it got up to a hundred billion dollars pretty quickly now they've basically canceled it i see

00:30:27.560 it i saw it a hundred times more than it started out right that's that's not that big of a deal

00:30:32.120 i saw an article from they're like i think it was japan or china i can't remember they were they're

00:30:37.080 going to launch in the middle of launching like this incredible new bullet train like this bullet

00:30:43.160 train is amazing you know what the headline said it approaches the speed of aircraft you already have

00:30:50.080 aircraft use the aircraft what do you mean it approaches this what is the benefit of a train

00:30:56.820 that goes slower than planes planes don't only have to go between two specifically designated areas

00:31:03.480 this is the great thing about them anywhere you put a freaking airport a plane can land so if a new

00:31:08.340 population center opens up in the middle of nowhere you can just change the plane the same day you can

00:31:14.380 say that day we're now taking this plane over there instead and it's going to go faster and have less

00:31:20.200 problems than the train if it was a lot less expensive yeah than the airfare it's not almost understand it

00:31:28.320 but it isn't never is in some cases it's more right so i gotta pay more to get there slower right

00:31:34.260 and then i can only go to that one place a hundred billion dollars it's crazy take people

00:31:40.160 from la to sacramento or san francisco whatever it was and when they have a hundred flights going back

00:31:47.960 and forth anyway and they're already ready relatively inexpensive you're not going to save any money going

00:31:52.220 on this train no you're just going to get there in 10 times the amount of your life it's going to

00:31:57.220 cost you 10 times the amount of your life to get there and they're never going to build the thing

00:32:01.020 anyway and by the time it's done it's going to be going to some area where people are no longer

00:32:05.660 living i'm guessing you're not going to be doing commercials for amtrak not even no no right that's

00:32:10.380 not happening it's pat and stew for glenn on the glenbeck program 888-727-BECK uh a little discrepancy

00:32:19.940 in how much of the border wall has been built now yesterday we had a story that there were 1.7 miles

00:32:26.420 built 1.7 so we're almost there um how long is the border is it what two miles i think it's two

00:32:33.820 and a half maybe just a just a little bit longer than that okay it's like 2 000 miles okay there's a

00:32:39.840 two in it though there is a two in it so you're pretty close so the white house yesterday said and

00:32:46.220 sarah sanders said that was that was not accurate it's and then the figure 20 miles came up okay and

00:32:52.800 then sarah sanders said none of those were accurate it's 100 miles and they're still on

00:32:56.980 track for 500 by the end of the year if that's true that's not bad i mean that's if they if they

00:33:04.800 can do 500 miles this year of of new border wall i think that'd be okay i mean that's a good start

00:33:13.820 i'm gonna need an audit on that yeah because i'd like to see we have heard a lot of claims

00:33:18.040 and the administration has done this several times in which they've said repairing existing

00:33:23.040 fence yeah that doesn't count new fence no that to me that doesn't count no no that's uh that's not

00:33:29.140 that's not what the campaign promise wasn't i'm gonna repair the fence it's already there

00:33:33.080 we're gonna build a wall and look you know he can't i mean he can't do it by himself and right and

00:33:39.020 the democrats are kicking and screaming and fighting him every step of the way yeah and i guess so far

00:33:44.260 they've compiled all together about six billion dollars for this and that'll pay for supposedly

00:33:49.400 four or five hundred miles so if they can do that i'd be pretty happy with uh with that as a good

00:33:55.120 start yeah i'm not you know we've talked about this before i'm not thrilled with the whole emergency

00:33:58.400 thing uh so no i'm not either funding so and i know you're not but you know most people aren't but i

00:34:03.600 mean it is a huge concern as far as what's going on on the border and addressing it is is important

00:34:08.400 and obviously you're not going to get anything out of chuck and nancy you know i mean that would be an

00:34:12.680 easy one right like it's infrastructure this is a legitimate piece of our infrastructure that is

00:34:16.580 crumbling right where they could go in and spend some money to to protect uh the borders and they

00:34:21.780 don't want to do that they don't want to do that they you know they just want to make our airports

00:34:25.620 have wi-fi and it's like i it's hard to take it seriously yeah but what should be the priority

00:34:31.760 i don't know let's stop the flow of drugs and illegals

00:34:36.800 this is the glenbeck program with pat and stew for glenn uh by the way you can catch my show

00:34:45.700 uh pat gray unleashed weekday mornings right before glenn uh right here on the blaze

00:34:51.520 uh and you can actually listen to it anytime you want on on the podcast they're available wherever

00:34:57.960 you can get podcasts 888-727-BECK uh our taxpayer dollars are being well spent i think you'll agree

00:35:06.420 when we funnel them into uh the national public radio npr i love the new guidelines that were published by

00:35:14.880 npr on how we can properly use phrases while reporting on the abortion debate i i am fascinated

00:35:25.540 by this and i it's a there's a central sort of thing going on where i i've never noticed this

00:35:31.420 before and here it is happening um listen to this this is uh from the new york times and i've mentioned

00:35:38.240 this uh previous broadcasts uh the fetal heartbeat

00:35:43.660 it is now a thing that is no longer a thing i i mean i there's this argument that you let when does

00:35:52.320 life start i don't know when does it start well okay it starts uh when it's when the baby's born

00:35:58.000 or it starts at conception or it starts at viability i think it said cognitive ability 32 i think you're

00:36:05.060 really alive or if it's 32 years old 32 when you're 32 well you can't you can't be president yet so 35

00:36:10.820 okay 35 35 years old is when when life begins and there's been this debate that goes on for a long

00:36:16.260 time and some people say it's you know when the heart starts beating it's a pretty logical one right

00:36:20.740 yeah we know when the heart stops beating it's generally when we say there's no more life

00:36:25.360 right so to say like it's not the most insane pro-choice argument to say until the heart is

00:36:34.020 beating it's not an abortion right like i it's not my position but it's it's not the most extreme pro-choice

00:36:39.760 argument to say that yeah i think we both agree life begins at conception yes however like if you were

00:36:45.360 to say okay well you know what you got the first six weeks uh until the heartbeat comes out

00:36:49.700 certainly that would cut down our abortions dramatically yeah it's what alabama's basically

00:36:54.020 trying to do but there's an indication of life when you have a heartbeat well the heartbeat

00:36:58.880 and that line has been part of the conversation for a long time when does life begin now we've come

00:37:06.820 to a point where the heartbeat may not actually be a heartbeat well and this is fascinating they can't

00:37:14.660 give that ground because if it's a heartbeat clearly that's life you've got a heart it's beating

00:37:20.500 you're alive and that's certainly the strategy of people who are pro-life right like yes like hey

00:37:25.540 recognize there's a life thing going on it's also science yeah it's also biology it's also reality

00:37:32.440 exactly so listen to this and we found this multiple times and we've been hitting it over the

00:37:37.820 past few weeks and i never noticed it before the past couple of weeks the new laws that prohibit

00:37:42.500 abortion as early as the sixth week of pregnancy have been called quote heartbeat end quote legislation

00:37:50.020 by supporters now there you could say maybe they're just referring to the name of the bill that's why

00:37:54.600 they put it in quotes now i've seen in several previous uh articles that we brought up on the

00:37:58.860 program and on the news and why it matters and other shows that it's not just when they're referring

00:38:03.400 to the name of the legislation they're saying like it's a reference to the fetal quote unquote

00:38:06.860 heartbeat and it's like what what else is it like what the what are you saying it is the new york

00:38:12.500 times has attempted the uh explanation here today and i think oh good you're gonna appreciate this

00:38:15.920 all right it's a quote unquote heartbeat a reference to the flickering pulse that can be seen on

00:38:22.080 ultrasound images of a developing embryo oh the flickering pulse flickering pulse okay now my thought

00:38:28.640 was do i mean do you think it's a strobe light like what is it exactly et's heart light right

00:38:34.380 it could be that turn on your heart light it could be one of those uh lights that when you're in a

00:38:38.540 boat and if you put it in water it starts flashing like you know to get people's attention like one

00:38:42.860 of those uh marine strobe lights could be that uh it could be a a rave going on inside the womb oh

00:38:50.220 perhaps there's a party and there's their glow sticks and there's flashing uh lights from a club

00:38:55.300 it's not a flickering pulse it is a heartbeat this is not something that was again we're told we're

00:39:01.540 the ones that are anti-science and they're telling us a heartbeat is a flickering pulse what the hell

00:39:07.680 is a flickering pulse it's not a flickering pulse it is the beat of a heart as it's developing um and

00:39:15.100 we've seen this now in utterly amazing form when uh when the uh the abortion procedures and uh terminology

00:39:25.020 and rights uh are discussed by uh npr that you brought up i am blown away reading this

00:39:34.600 again there are certain levels of of denial we can get into right you can get like when you're

00:39:42.500 watching a movie with a crazy plot you have to go into that you have to you have to like take that

00:39:47.080 break from reality and you have to kind of accept well yeah some people can fly some people can shoot

00:39:52.220 lasers out of their eyes sometimes there are giant monsters going out of the sea and obviously i know

00:39:56.280 godzilla is real but i'm saying generally speaking these things aren't real and there's that suspension

00:40:03.620 of disbelief that you have to have reading this npr guideline it's it's i i'm almost to the godzilla

00:40:10.100 level with it it's so unbelievable we'll give you the details of it in 60 seconds cotton stew for glenn on

00:40:17.300 the glenbeck program uh so npr has some new guidelines for uh what their hosts call certain

00:40:23.880 abortion terms now this is what they they say they say one thing to keep in mind about this law and

00:40:29.940 others like it proponents refer to it as a quote fetal heartbeat law that is their term it needs to be

00:40:38.600 attributed to them if used and putting quotation marks if printed so this is actually sort of explaining

00:40:44.960 this confusion i've had they're just because the heartbeat is part of the name of the bill they're

00:40:50.400 acting as if it's a concept not understood by science like it's a heartbeat well that's what

00:40:56.580 they're calling it but i mean that that's they're calling it that because it's accurate right they're

00:41:00.480 not calling it is i mean yes it does make a powerful point about life it does and it is a reason and part

00:41:07.000 of the reason they're doing it is to convince people hey this thing that you think you're quote

00:41:11.720 unquote aborting is just life that you're ending you know i mean that that is that is part of the

00:41:16.880 reason they're targeting the heartbeat but it's like it's it's in a way a a um a moment of of coming

00:41:25.180 together i mean i want zero abortions zero okay i don't want it to be legal you know when they say

00:41:31.180 hey what this new law you're passing is just a trojan horse for getting rid of abortion it's not a

00:41:35.760 trojan horse i'm telling you it's right there that's part of the plan i want that to be the future and

00:41:40.940 we'll get there however um in a way it's a compromise from the right like someone who is a

00:41:47.660 someone who thinks hey this is life in your ending life you probably saying that i'll give

00:41:53.120 you six weeks isn't isn't the ideal position right you want life that begins at conception you want it

00:41:59.100 to go to the end of the pregnancy however it's six weeks it's a really good step in the right

00:42:03.760 direction and it's a really good line it makes sense if you're a democrat you can say okay well

00:42:07.200 look i mean think about this in in the way we actually talk about abortion uh a woman has

00:42:12.460 unprotected sex or uh gets pregnant in some in some fashion um and realizes they've made a mistake

00:42:18.920 then uh you know wants to abort their baby well this gives them six weeks to do that and they keep

00:42:25.500 saying well they don't even know if they're pregnant well they have morning after pills for

00:42:28.520 a reason like this was this is when you make a mistake like that if something happens that you

00:42:32.880 i shouldn't have done that that was a mistake i can't have a baby right now that's why they have

00:42:36.960 the morning after pill you know we've talked about this before and that like in a sensible world

00:42:41.320 the left-wing position is the morning after pill right in a in a world now look i think there should

00:42:47.280 be no abortion at all but like in a sensible world with debate there it wouldn't be nine months

00:42:52.540 or right after birth you could still abort the kid it would be all right look if you made a mistake

00:42:57.200 before we even know that you're pregnant you have a chance to stop whatever's going on and we won't

00:43:02.060 even know if there was if anything even happened right we don't even know if you the person was

00:43:05.880 pregnant we wouldn't even know it's like it's like the the blind firing squad right like where you

00:43:10.840 know there's like 25 the guy's got the blindfold on and there's like 25 people with guns and no one

00:43:15.620 knows who's shooting the real bullet in the blank right it's like that sort of concept and like i'm

00:43:20.200 not saying that's a good position i'm just saying like that would be a position that would be should

00:43:24.300 be extreme in our society right like at least you know but it's not it's like the it's the very

00:43:30.360 beginning of the pro-choice argument so you'd think that there'd be some room for something

00:43:36.040 uh like that but that is that is part of the reason they do it uh they go on to abortion procedures

00:43:42.060 and terminology and i mean listen to this partial birth is not a medical term and has no exact

00:43:48.180 parallel in medical terminology intact dilation and extraction is the closest description

00:43:53.980 now of course that's an extraction right extraction think about what extraction means right wow now

00:43:59.940 that sounds like a doctor term and that's why partial birth abortion exists because what it does

00:44:04.480 is it describes what's going on and they don't like that also it is not correct this i thought was

00:44:10.580 interesting the one point uh to the side of maybe the pro-life argument in their uh in this piece

00:44:17.300 also it is not correct to call these procedures rare it is not known how often they are performed

00:44:24.500 then they're talking about what we would call partial birth abortion they always say that's rare

00:44:29.660 you know i get this from uh pro-choice people from time to time they're like well i mean come on

00:44:33.940 it's what is it one percent of abortions two percent of abortions are late term we keep talking about

00:44:39.580 that yeah i guess we shouldn't talk about the seven or eight nine elevens that happen every year

00:44:43.020 because that's basically what we're talking about when we talk about like nine you know third term

00:44:47.120 late term abortions nine ninth month abortions some of these uh partial birth procedures which they

00:44:53.280 you know sometimes are earlier than uh nine months but still like we're talking about tens of thousands

00:44:58.880 of babies that could have you know could be born uh and are viable and could be you know many people

00:45:06.600 are you know many babies are born and live at that point and npr doesn't want you to use the late

00:45:12.540 term abortion term either no that's bad well it's it carries ideological baggage stew and it does yeah

00:45:19.320 we don't want the ideological baggage of late term abortion that's unbelievable i i mean this is so

00:45:26.940 partisan this is so biased yeah i love this part this is fantastic uh because we're talking about the the

00:45:33.320 the you know partial birth abortion it gives the impression that abortion takes place in the eighth

00:45:37.240 or ninth month in fact the procedure called intact dilation and extraction is performed most often in the

00:45:41.760 fifth or sixth month the second trimester which by the way is still overwhelmingly unpopular with

00:45:46.680 american the american people uh the second trimester is not considered late pregnancy thus late term is

00:45:52.000 not appropriate as an alternative and let this roll off your tongue pat because i think you okay okay if

00:45:56.600 you're going to say hey i'm talking about late term abortions instead say as an alternative uh they're

00:46:01.700 talking about a certain procedure performed after the first trimester of pregnancy and subsequently the

00:46:06.740 procedure and then give the technical name instead of late term they want you to use this is a quote

00:46:12.180 call it a certain procedure performed after the first trimester of pregnancy why why can't you say

00:46:19.260 what trimester is that only though after the first one and subsequently then say the actual name of the

00:46:25.660 procedure um they also will not use the term abortion clinics they say medical or health clinics that

00:46:32.220 perform abortions i mean if that's not spin i don't know what is because no one no one's disagreeing

00:46:37.200 with the medical or health part of it no one's saying oh we we are against sonograms you know like

00:46:42.700 there's no one saying that um the point is not to use abortion before the word clinic the clinics perform

00:46:48.200 other procedures and not just abortions well you know i mean i think if you say um you know uh mcdonald's

00:46:54.800 is a hamburger restaurant yes they also do serve egg mcmuffins right they do serve they do serve salads

00:47:00.880 though to call it a salad restaurant would be wrong right they don't seem to have a problem with that

00:47:05.420 it's also um wrong to say george tiller the murdered uh abortion doctor don't call him an abortion doctor

00:47:12.760 instead we should say tiller operated a clinic where abortions are performed and this one is i think the

00:47:18.800 most clear uh example of bias the term unborn implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman

00:47:26.460 not a fetus babies are not babies until they are born this is all quoting wow they're fetuses

00:47:35.900 incorrectly calling a fetus a baby or the unborn is part of the strategy used by anti-abortion groups

00:47:44.540 to shift the language legality and public opinion wow and then finally this this is amazing because

00:47:50.940 this one may even be more direct on the air we should use abortion rights supporter or advocates

00:47:55.000 okay so if someone is on the pro choice side they are abortion rights supporters or advocates

00:48:00.400 um and you could say abortion rights opponents however it is acceptable to use anti-abortion rights

00:48:08.660 but don't use pro-abortion rights

00:48:11.120 you can use anti-abortion rights so someone who's on pro-life side is against rights

00:48:19.600 yeah but you can't say pro-abortion rights now if you were so proud of the right that you're talking

00:48:26.200 about why wouldn't you want to use pro-abortion rights i mean these are direct anti-abortion rights

00:48:32.460 and pro-abortion rights you can use one but not the other like that is a clear example of how they

00:48:38.440 want to do everything they can to control the language and win the argument this whole guideline

00:48:42.200 could have been written by planned parenthood yeah might as well have been with the exception of the

00:48:46.700 of saying that late-term abortions are rare that's the only right we actually have no freaking idea

00:48:51.280 if they're rare or not which is an amazing admission from npr yeah it is yeah it is triple

00:48:56.420 eight seven two seven beck of course ilan omar uh understands where we're coming from on the right

00:49:02.660 she sees right through us uh her eyes pierce our armor of disguise yeah we are so transparent under

00:49:11.940 her steely gaze frightening really it's frightening i feel so vulnerable now um here she is from the

00:49:19.500 house floor talking about the religious right and uh our pro-life viewpoints religious fundamentalists

00:49:28.180 are currently trying to manipulate state laws in order to impose their beliefs on an entire society

00:49:36.260 all with complete disregard for voices and the rights of american women there's something

00:49:43.560 it's interesting that there's something with ilan omar and that she is never saying these things

00:49:52.040 without reading them like she every speech i've seen of her where she's making these controversial

00:49:57.420 statements as you're about to hear she's always just reading it word for word she can't take her

00:50:03.980 eyes off of the and many times reading it wrong i mean as what was the um what was the oh the iran

00:50:09.940 courtra affair remember that oh yeah situation the iran courtra affair i mean someone with absolutely

00:50:16.460 no knowledge of the topic she's speaking of that's an event but she's always reading it i mean obviously

00:50:22.080 someone's writing these things for her many times she's reading it for the first time in front of

00:50:26.200 people and that's why a lot of times she sounds like she doesn't seem to know what the words are

00:50:30.700 she doesn't know what the references are yeah uh it's there's a weird thing going on with her

00:50:34.800 in particular not alexandria ocasio-cortez speaking off the top of her head a lot and that's what

00:50:40.860 leads to her you know continuous mistakes omar is always reading things not just notes word for

00:50:48.680 word staring at the paper the entire time this is going on to give you the the mental picture here

00:50:54.080 all right go ahead the recent efforts like those in alabama in georgia are only the latest

00:51:02.620 in a long history of efforts to criminalize women's women for simply existing women's women

00:51:11.100 now punish us when we don't conform to their attempts to control this is asinine but because

00:51:17.780 it's happening here with the support of the ultra conservative religious right we call it

00:51:23.960 religious freedom it's simply unthinkable let's just be honest okay be honest for the religious

00:51:31.000 right this isn't simply simply about their care or concern for life how many syllables are it simple

00:51:38.620 if they cared about 17 or were concerned about children yeah they would be concerned about about

00:51:47.080 the children that are being detained detained and those that are dying dying in camps across

00:51:53.560 our border this is it okay let's stop for a second um across our border this is an interesting

00:51:57.880 point now pat i remember when in 2014 i believe it was uh barack obama president of the united states

00:52:03.820 you took a little trip to the border do you remember what you did there was it to build new camps no it

00:52:08.720 wasn't uh it was out of concern for the kids that were at the border and we brought them christmas

00:52:13.540 presence yeah and and when you when you build a wall and you increase border security what is your

00:52:20.400 intent with something i mean as i know it's racism but other than racism what is your intent would it be

00:52:26.540 to stop people from entering a place in which they could be detained by law uh yes that seems pretty

00:52:33.980 logical yeah it seems like if you were to build a wall and and secure the border you would have no

00:52:38.880 problems at all with children coming across the border of them yeah yeah there'd be so none if

00:52:44.860 obviously it's nothing could be perfect but right there'd be as few as possible yes so do you care

00:52:49.620 about children i actually do yeah yeah i kind of do yeah i do yeah and we we that's pretty central to

00:52:56.000 the entire thing on both issues by the way yes i mean you know how the compassionate part of the

00:53:00.220 border has become oh let them all come over here and run through the deserts with no water

00:53:04.780 asinine is an asinine you know it it is the exact reverse of of what is real and it's like saying

00:53:12.920 babies aren't babies and encouraging it is is bringing more people across the border who die in the

00:53:20.700 deserts of arizona texas and new mexico it's just that's not the compassionate thing to do

00:53:27.860 pat and stew on the glenn beck program glenn's back on uh tuesday because we're heading into a

00:53:36.600 three-day weekend here with memorial day which is really nice uh and because you've had a brutal

00:53:41.960 three-day week here stew well and three-day week last week too and last so it's been now next week

00:53:47.640 you're doing a full four day week yeah which i'm not happy about you shouldn't be yeah i don't know

00:53:53.400 how you do it i really don't know how you do it it's basically sacrifice for the american people

00:53:57.640 i just put i put the american people above myself and you give and you get it's just something that

00:54:02.540 i do you know people am i a hero yes um but uh so you would say yes i would say yes if asked i was

00:54:11.660 not asked if i was a hero but i would say yes if asked i'm just trying to be clear for the american

00:54:18.640 people and of course when you're here for four days you're a canadian sports celebrity as well

00:54:24.180 as a hero so that's i mean that's a lot that's a lot that's me that's uh it is you uh are you i

00:54:31.160 think uh i think most people are now familiar with the babylon b right have you and glenn talked

00:54:34.780 about it much yeah yeah they've done some really funny articles kind of like i say almost like a

00:54:38.820 conservative onion yes that's a really good description of it okay and uh like the other day

00:54:46.320 they did this thing uh about a gay man who went to chick-fil-a took one bite of the sandwich

00:54:51.860 and instantly became straight oh no yeah yeah and then he went to burger king and it changed him

00:54:58.860 back uh but uh but really funny stuff and really well written yeah they do a good job yeah uh and i

00:55:04.880 will say too i feel like when they first burst out of the scene i remember thinking yeah you know

00:55:10.700 some of them were okay but it was a lot of hit or miss stuff lately i it's been the last couple of

00:55:15.140 years honestly they have been pretty on all over it yeah and impressive they have a great one out

00:55:19.880 about the abortion uh thing going on today uh it's titled pregnancy kills abortions save lives

00:55:26.880 pregnancy is a life-threatening condition oh wow women die from being pregnant we have known that

00:55:34.980 for thousands of years pregnancy is dangerous abortion can be life-saving uh alabama's new law

00:55:43.080 claims that it does not prohibit abortion if there is a reasonable medical judgment that the pregnancy

00:55:48.220 poses a serious health risk to the woman but pregnancy itself poses a serious health risk

00:55:54.300 including the risk of dying and losing all bodily functions a woman's life and health are at risk from

00:56:01.500 the moment that a pregnancy exists in her body whether she wants to be pregnant or not

00:56:06.380 um maybe all of this is moot perhaps the goal of the alabama law in addition to a triggering a deal

00:56:12.920 a legal challenge to roe versus wade may be to discourage doctors from even practicing medicine

00:56:17.760 in the state lest they be accused of performing an illegal abortion and sentenced to prison for the

00:56:22.260 rest of their lives perhaps the vagueness of the law and the confusion is the point vagueness and

00:56:28.300 confusion are tools of tyranny the intent of the alabama legislature and its new law is clearly to

00:56:35.220 prohibit and prevent abortions from being performed now but does it this particular babylon b story is

00:56:41.880 is less funny than it is outrageous yes the concept is funny there are a laugh lines in there right um

00:56:48.420 partially that could be because it's not from the babylon b it's a serious column written in the new

00:56:53.560 york times that's amazing pregnancy kills abortion saves lives is the freaking headline now as bizarre as

00:57:02.740 this is because like you can make this argument about anything for example should you ever eat

00:57:08.820 food eating food kills kills because we know you're much more likely to choke on solid food than a drink

00:57:17.140 so why are we not all having protein shakes all the time plus how many people get heart disease from the

00:57:22.680 food they eat thank you millions millions millions diabetes diabetes diabetes i was trying to get the way

00:57:29.720 that wilford brimley does diabetes diabetes is caused that's another one right i mean every what

00:57:37.200 getting in a car right is it kills and it doesn't do anything good it just kills it's a ridiculous way

00:57:44.900 of looking at it but the stunning thing about this is if you've ever taken the time to actually read

00:57:49.800 the roe versus wade decision this is their justification for it this exact column what they are saying

00:57:57.040 in roe versus wade it's spelled out directly you are more likely to die uh when you get pregnant than when

00:58:03.080 you have an abortion the abortion is something that and this is look by the way somebody always dies during

00:58:09.960 an abortion yeah the baby who's being aborted unless they fail and then they just let them die on the table

00:58:14.800 that's a little bit of a difference right but yeah you're right always it's gotta be 99.5 percent of the time

00:58:20.680 right i mean this this line is it's incredible uh you know uh pregnancy itself proposes a serious

00:58:28.560 health risk including the risk of dying and losing all bodily functions you mean like the baby every

00:58:33.320 single time in an abortion like every single one of these the desire of the procedure is to make all

00:58:40.400 bodily functions stop that's the that's the intent the intent of a pregnancy is not to do that to a

00:58:46.680 woman obviously we know and it's much much better than it used to be but it does occasionally someone

00:58:51.920 a woman does die in pregnancy it used to be really high the percentages and we've come a long long way

00:58:57.640 in stopping that from occurring but the idea that that is something that is an argument for abortion

00:59:05.600 is completely upside down but also the central reasoning of roe versus wade that's what they said

00:59:10.900 now at some point uh there may be a reversal of that right would they would then would then the

00:59:17.060 left would this abortion doctor happily give up abortion rights at that point if we get to a point

00:59:21.280 where you know what childbirth is now there's no deaths from childbirth but there's still deaths

00:59:25.560 from abortion would they then say that abortion should go away my guess is no no because it's got

00:59:31.280 nothing to do with what they're saying it's a lie it's as big a lie as anything in the babylon b which

00:59:36.620 is intentionally telling you it's a lie it's a satire site but this is a real article this is

00:59:42.480 the stuff i mean we talk about this all the time pat there was a time in which and they still exist

00:59:48.780 for pro-choice people had what amounted to seemingly sensible arguments and rational positions from the

00:59:56.780 idea that at least they seem like nice people they seem like people who are like not denying reality

01:00:01.320 they just you know look they had a different opinion or whatever we are now to the point where we're

01:00:06.320 talking about abortions at nine months we're talking about um you know abortion is a lifesaver

01:00:12.960 again like the the intent of it is to end a life how can it be a lifesaver it's it's one of these

01:00:19.680 things where we've gone so far in this debate that roe versus wade seems like something some mythical

01:00:24.960 like artifact from the the past a move to roe versus wade is a move to the right we talk about

01:00:31.860 overturning roe versus wade if we could get back to roe versus wade it would be a massive improvement

01:00:36.220 from where we are right now massive and we talked about this yesterday on the news and why it

01:00:40.960 matters as well um but this idea that the debate is now occurring in the ninth month the third

01:00:49.560 trimester even the second trimester which abortions are overwhelmingly unpopular in the second trimester

01:00:55.260 and third trimester but from all american people not just republicans the idea that that's where the

01:01:00.460 debate is shows how extreme this has become this is this is straight out denial we're putting quotes

01:01:06.500 around the word heartbeat we're calling it a flickering pulse this is insanity there's no

01:01:13.360 connection to reality anymore when it comes to this stuff well the left have become science deniers they

01:01:19.020 used to accuse us of that all the time because of the climate change thing uh and they do nothing

01:01:24.680 but deny science now nothing but in the the abortion debate they deny science in in the gender debate

01:01:32.780 they deny science they're just not about science anymore they've just thrown that flesh shot completely

01:01:39.000 down the toilet now yeah i mean glenn's last book uh addiction addiction addicted to outrage had a big

01:01:45.160 part about it about post-modernism and a lot of it feels like you know look at some dumb thing that

01:01:51.400 some college professor you know is teaching some 20 year old who comes out and thinks they're really

01:01:57.220 smart right like it stinks of that but it's so central to what's going on now it is words that

01:02:02.340 mean things no longer mean things the heartbeat is not a it's not a there's not a disagreement about

01:02:08.700 what a heartbeat is yet now we have to put quotes around it we have to i don't know is it a flickering

01:02:14.500 pulse or is it a heartbeat is it a baby or is it a fetus like a fetus is just a stage a baby is in

01:02:20.580 that's it that's what it is it's not again it doesn't turn into broccoli it doesn't turn into

01:02:26.100 a radish it doesn't turn into a volkswagen you know it is it is we all know it's just a stage

01:02:34.400 of life is what a fetus is it's what an embryo is it's what a baby is it's what a human is it's

01:02:39.800 what an adult is it's what a child is it's what a teenager is it's what all these things are

01:02:43.840 they're stages of a life and the idea that now we have you know they're like i would love to know

01:02:49.340 the npr guide says don't use a baby a baby isn't a baby until it's born how many times has npr referred

01:02:55.800 to a baby bump how many times has npr you know uh she's having a baby how do we know if it's just

01:03:03.960 the fetus how do we know she's having a baby we don't know you're speculating there who knows what

01:03:10.200 it turns out to be could be a glow stick it could be a rutabaga some kind of pulsating uh

01:03:19.340 light right in there it could be you know there's a new sequel coming out to men in black could be

01:03:24.860 those men in black things going off the flashes that make everybody lose their memory maybe that's

01:03:29.140 just constantly happening on a beat all the time inside the womb because there is a flickering pulse

01:03:34.140 going on we used to understand what that was i know when uh uh we went through uh and really my

01:03:40.880 wife did most of the work here but childbirth uh twice uh i remember the expert who worked at the

01:03:48.720 place where the baby doctors work telling us hey there's the heartbeat can you hear the heartbeat

01:03:54.520 they've never called it a flickering pulse can you hear the flickering pulse not ever has a doctor

01:03:59.060 said see that flickering pulse yeah that's your fetus it is that's your fetus they don't say

01:04:04.400 that either they say that's your baby and it's not that's that's a doctor saying that that's not

01:04:10.220 that's not just the right wing uh you know extremist this is what doctors know just a crazy all know this

01:04:17.360 we all know this it's just crazy and like it's just i i can't get over the fact that instead of

01:04:22.520 trying to justify these ridiculous positions they just act as if they're correct like wow it's a

01:04:28.120 flickering pulse what are you talking about of course it's a flickering pulse it's science what

01:04:31.440 do you what do you mean it's science it's not a flickering pulse it is a heartbeat we all know

01:04:37.540 it's a heartbeat and the reason you won't admit it's a heartbeat is because you have a different

01:04:41.940 agenda you want to protect abortion at all costs it is an absolute religious tenant at this point

01:04:50.340 you can't it has it is abortion is a religion it is two to the left and and it's a dark one man

01:04:58.020 yeah that is a dark freaking that is like the guys in the temple of doom you know they're down

01:05:52.040 the glenn beck program hey morning gentlemen how you doing doing good you really concerned or you just

01:05:57.760 making small talk uh kind of both uh your last segment wanted me to go down a couple of rabbit

01:06:04.340 holes but i'll try to get straight to the point okay um if you're legally dead uh when your brain

01:06:10.020 activity stops and they can pull the plug um why can't you defeat any arguments based on religion or

01:06:16.520 anything else and say you're legally alive when the brain activity starts it just so happens if you

01:06:22.560 do the research it's about 42 to 45 days after conception six weeks uh so the heartbeat and the

01:06:29.660 brain activity kind of the same so it takes the emotions out of it it actually solves some problems

01:06:35.720 and some politicians might be out of a job um because you're actually solving issues and this

01:06:41.020 goes back it's an interesting point robert and this goes back to what we were talking about about how

01:06:44.360 far the debate has moved i have a friend of mine who's a pro choice and a guy i really like and he he was

01:06:50.500 like well you know look i i don't agree with you on this and he said uh you know i think it's a time

01:06:55.100 um it's cognitive when when the cognitive activities begin is when i would say life begins and as as the

01:07:02.640 caller points out this i've heard six weeks i've heard 10 weeks for that but it's very early in the

01:07:06.880 pregnancy where that actually begins and it's interesting in that like people who now consider

01:07:11.240 themselves to be pro-choice are making arguments far more extreme than 90 percent of republicans are making

01:07:18.780 when because republicans are trying to ban it at 20 weeks in most states yeah alabama's an exception

01:07:24.200 most of them are 20 weeks but the alabama six weeks law basically lines up with my friend who

01:07:29.100 considers himself pro-choice crazy it's amazing it really is amazing how far this has moved uh it is

01:07:35.340 and there's i think six states now that have heartbeat bills and then two others that have limited to um

01:07:44.460 the like early in the second trimester utah and arkansas limited abortion i mean that's just a

01:07:52.120 really tiny little baby step pun intended a little baby step there to just to take it out of the third

01:07:59.540 trimester into the second trimester but the really impressive heartbeat bills uh and then in alabama's

01:08:07.040 case the almost total ban on abortion is really bold and has pushed this is pushed this debate back

01:08:16.120 into the public forum and that's why we're able to talk about it again on such a regular basis and

01:08:21.800 that's why the democrats are so the left is just out of their mind on this because we're engaged again

01:08:27.820 we're activated again and we haven't been activated like this on on abortion for a really long time i mean

01:08:34.920 we've been talking about it a little bit but this is a it's a different level now we're we're at a

01:08:40.640 completely different level and again like it's it's one of those debates that's uncomfortable to

01:08:44.620 have it's an uncomfortable conversation but you know maybe it's worth an uncomfortable conversation

01:08:49.020 when you're talking about 62 million people that should be alive that aren't maybe yeah some people

01:08:54.460 think that's important yeah it seems like it's worth it yeah it seems like it's worth it and as far

01:08:59.260 as women's rights about half of them are a little bit slightly more would have been women had they

01:09:06.620 been allowed to to be born so all right mark levin coming up in just a few minutes

01:09:12.480 this is the glenbeck program today with pat and stew for glenn 888-727-BECK coming up in about 60

01:09:23.340 seconds we're going to be speaking with mark levin about his new book unfreedom of the press

01:09:28.880 joining us now is mark levin uh from the course nationally syndicated radio show from uh blaze tv

01:09:36.840 from uh levin tv and his uh new book is unfreedom of the press mark welcome pat how are you my friend

01:09:44.340 doing well thanks um you know this this book couldn't be any more timely especially with the

01:09:48.920 news of npr coming out with their new abortion language uh pretty amazing well basically what i've

01:09:56.900 tried to do with this book i wasn't going to write about the press but it's kind of in your face

01:10:00.600 every day so uh they keep claiming they represent freedom of the press so i decided to take a look

01:10:05.960 and so i looked at the history of the press and i looked how it cycled through throughout the

01:10:11.840 decades and the various transitions it's gone through and uh i just want the public to know you

01:10:19.060 feel this but when you look at the history of the press this is the lowest point the media has ever

01:10:23.140 been i call it the mass media the mass media is different than a free press free press is something

01:10:30.680 that belongs to us it's in the first amendment this is what the founders fought for they didn't fight

01:10:35.540 for comcast or times warner time warner they didn't fight for these guys so these guys are free to do

01:10:41.040 what they want nobody's saying you know the government can interfere and the government's not

01:10:44.760 neither is the president but we need to be honest about who they are what they're doing so what i do is

01:10:50.500 i lay out early in the book who they are and what they're doing you look at the incestuous relationship

01:10:55.380 between the democrat party and the media i mean it's overwhelming um people who've moved between

01:11:00.760 the party and administrations uh into the media and back and forth family members you look at where

01:11:06.920 they live the vast majority live in and around washington dc and new york these are hard blue

01:11:11.960 communities they socialize with each other they party with each other there's almost no diversity in

01:11:18.240 newsrooms in terms of a thinking process there's no independent thought in these newsrooms and you

01:11:23.660 can see it and survey after survey poll after poll of them will tell you they're not there's nobody

01:11:29.600 no newsroom really major newsroom that's that's right of center or center uh they're all pretty much

01:11:36.320 the same that's why we put these montages together i'm sure you guys too where they're all saying the

01:11:40.880 same thing every every news platform there's a reason for that because it's group think it's a pack

01:11:46.440 mentality but it's even worse than it's ever been i'll tell you why they push progressivism and

01:11:52.180 that's been going on really off and on for about 100 years but now they're social activists that's

01:11:57.500 new in the last 20 or 30 years so you have these younger and younger so-called journalists who come

01:12:02.300 in and they're being taught this there's a number of uh journalism schools and professors who have

01:12:06.220 pushed this philosophy they say hey look the civil rights movement the right to vote um obamacare all

01:12:14.080 these things would not have happened but for the progressive ideology so you wash the news through

01:12:20.620 the progressive ideology you interpret it you analyze it you promote it that's what we need to do

01:12:26.700 and that is what they're doing so they're they're actually creating events and then reporting on these

01:12:33.180 events i have people call my show and they say why won't the media admit they were wrong for two and a

01:12:38.120 half years on russia collusion and i said wrong they're participants in other words who do you

01:12:43.980 think these people were leaking to at the fbi and and these and these security agencies and so forth

01:12:49.320 they're leaking to the new york times cnn and the washington post they're not going to apologize

01:12:53.680 they're on a mission and so i walk through the book i go through these different issues i have a

01:12:59.860 chapter on news propaganda and pseudo events uh early on propagandist during the uh during the uh

01:13:07.740 woodrow wilson administration pseudo events you know trump calls them fake news he's right and um

01:13:14.040 a brilliant man he was former historian university of chicago was head of the library congress

01:13:19.620 bornston wrote a whole book on pseudo events and he says most news is about pseudo events what you see

01:13:26.360 on tv is mostly unreality it has nothing to do with your life and this is a big problem particularly

01:13:33.280 in a republic that's relatively free that means that the press isn't giving us information that

01:13:38.740 we can use in our lives it's not giving us information legitimate information about the

01:13:43.440 government so we can hold it in check it's pushing an agenda and that's why there's not a

01:13:48.360 dime's worth of difference between the agenda of the democrat party and the agenda of the media

01:13:52.300 the agenda of the media and i also point out in one of the chapters called collusion abuse of power

01:13:59.560 and and character these are the areas they hit trump on look at american history there have been

01:14:05.680 presidents and others who've colluded with foreign governments this one hasn't there have been

01:14:09.700 presidents who have literally abused power who've shut down newspapers who've locked up journalists

01:14:13.960 who've used the irs against their political opponents fbi cia recent presidents like kennedy like

01:14:20.240 lyndon johnson among them now that's an abuse of power trump has never done anything like that

01:14:25.800 you talk about character they have to keep talking about stormy daniels and non-disclosure agreements

01:14:30.360 since he's been president in the oval office has there been a whisper of a scandal no and yet we

01:14:37.120 have presidents who had women coming and going left and right interns all kinds of things that's that's

01:14:42.660 not trump so this is unreality we're being fed they're pushing this agenda there was no russian

01:14:48.660 collusion then they push obstruction then they push constitutional crisis now they're pushing

01:14:52.780 impeachment i just feel like thomas pain you know i think back to that period glenn does this a lot too

01:14:58.500 we had the early pamphleteers and the colonists and they spoke to each other and they informed each

01:15:05.860 other we need to do that we need to do a hell of a lot more of that so i view this book unfreedom of

01:15:12.080 the press really as a modern day pamphlet and i want people i hope to read it to pass it along to

01:15:18.560 discuss it but here's the good news in a sick kind of way a lot of these companies are going out of

01:15:24.580 business cnn has no ratings you can't have no ratings forever the new york times was going broke

01:15:30.260 until this billionaire from mexico telecommunications bank that bought 17 or 20 percent of their stock

01:15:36.160 bezos bought the washington post which was gone bankrupt for the core of a billion dollars it's

01:15:41.280 not just technology although that's crucial that's changing the landscape they're changing the

01:15:47.080 landscape because people are turning them off they have options you know they have us blaze tv they

01:15:52.740 have our radio programs but you also have other things on the internet i know people trash the

01:15:57.580 internet i don't trash the internet there are you know they're perverts and and reprobates and evil

01:16:03.500 people everywhere including on the internet you got to be careful about what you probably in your

01:16:07.500 community you know so you got to be careful of who you hang out with and careful what you look at

01:16:12.080 but i view a lot of this as the new pamphleteers the competition that's coming and i think there's

01:16:18.600 going to be future technologies platforms we haven't even thought of yet that will again create new and

01:16:25.420 better competition so i i have a strong belief in freedom of the press and i have a very negative view

01:16:32.320 of the modern media today talking to mark levin the book is unfreedom of the press market i know

01:16:37.180 you're short on time here but before you go is you have this kind of transformation from uh journalist

01:16:42.200 to activist you talked about you talk about how it's sort of falling apart for the mainstream media

01:16:47.320 is that why it's getting so much worse is there sort of like a desperation they're seeing their power

01:16:52.400 go away and that's why they're acting out even in more extreme ways than earlier i think that's why

01:16:57.600 they're going after trump they figured they had this in the bag they pushed hillary they were

01:17:01.520 trashing him and they lost and they're trying and they're trying to fix it from their perspective okay

01:17:07.060 just because 63 million americans voted for him doesn't mean we can't disenfranchise them

01:17:11.900 and so that's that's one of the things that drives these people nuts but you raise another

01:17:16.660 point that's very very important the mixture of news and opinion and that's that's really the key

01:17:22.100 problem here in 1942 there was a report put out by the media about the media and they warned about this

01:17:27.440 they said we're going to lose the faith and trust of our viewers and our listeners if we keep doing this

01:17:33.140 we have the ability to destroy people we have the ability to be positive we have the ability to lie

01:17:38.080 we have the ability to tell the truth and if we're going to combine fact with fiction news with opinion

01:17:44.520 we're going to destroy our credibility well they've destroyed their credibility because 80 percent of

01:17:50.240 republicans do not believe the media 80 percent of democrats do and so if you want to throw in with a political

01:17:56.320 party that's fine the dishonesty of this is you know that the about the 1780 to about 1860 we had

01:18:03.360 the political party press where the press lined up with one party or candidate or her viewpoint or

01:18:08.260 another and they were very transparent about it it was brutal but they were transparent today we have

01:18:14.080 the party press the democrat party press a one-party press and that's why they keep looping through you

01:18:20.880 know uh adam schiff or nadler they bring guests on politicians on professors on so-called experts on

01:18:28.760 who really uh uh mimic their own viewpoints mark we know you're pressed for time um congratulations on

01:18:36.900 the success of this book it's already number one and you've obviously pissed off brian stelter at cnn so

01:18:42.000 you've done something incredibly right uh thanks a lot for being here it's unfreedom of the press

01:19:44.040 888-727-BECK uh is israel practice practicing some new crowd control methods that maybe we could

01:19:50.960 learn from well there's a big there's a lot of developments in the middle east that we're there's

01:19:54.460 a supposedly a new plan of 10 000 troops five to 10 000 troops to be sent to uh the area of

01:20:02.300 iran uh and that's they're they're talking about it the reporting is strange on it because they're

01:20:07.100 treating it like it's a real story but then they're saying it's going to be proposed today

01:20:10.500 which kind of signals to me it's not you know probably it's not decided yet yeah exactly although

01:20:16.700 even we're certainly stepping up our game with iran as of late and that you know i don't think

01:20:21.600 anyone wants to go to war with iran i mean trump especially when he was a guy who ran really as

01:20:26.440 probably the most you know uh anti uh international involvement republican that at least i can

01:20:34.220 remember i mean it goes back a long my lifetime for sure which i like yeah by the way i'm i'm kind

01:20:40.220 of tired of being the police of the world um yeah it's getting involved especially in middle eastern

01:20:46.940 uh nation building regime change and nation building it doesn't work out they don't they don't have the

01:20:53.080 same mindset and mentality and love for freedom that we that we do they've got a different sort

01:21:00.480 of system over there and they like their system and when you replace the leaders that they have

01:21:05.720 usually you're replacing with somebody worse so it just doesn't work out that well you know it's part

01:21:11.020 it's and i don't trump kind of comes at this from a different perspective but it's consistent with

01:21:15.320 the libertarian argument on war which is basically we as governments suck at everything and war is

01:21:22.600 included in that that's i mean that's the libertarian analysis basically like and the same thing that

01:21:27.240 happens i think to you know i don't always agree with libertarians on you know matters of law and

01:21:31.740 order sort of policing but it's the same sort of argument like we are not good at doing things through

01:21:37.780 the government you know the you know international war is something we try to do through the government we

01:21:43.540 don't do it the right way we don't use the right process and when we get in there we screw it up

01:21:47.160 because it's not even we act sometimes as if these things are like easy things that we're messing up

01:21:52.700 because we're incompetent well they're hard to do well we just had you know was it a senator that said

01:21:57.600 two strikes and it's over in a war with iran no come on that's that's just ridiculous nonsense i mean

01:22:04.780 like look that's not going to be an easy one and i don't want to go near it honestly that's going to

01:22:09.860 you would think much more difficult than afghanistan or iraq i mean there are much more

01:22:13.820 developed society militarily a lot more people uh it's it's dangerous and war isn't fought the way

01:22:20.300 it was in world war ii anymore it's just not and we wouldn't fight it that way if we fought it that

01:22:24.660 way you know maybe you could get a good resolution in a reasonably resolution at the very least we all

01:22:32.560 know it would be a terrible resolution right we're talking about probably thousands of people

01:22:36.980 many of them innocent iranians yeah who don't support the regime at all i mean they're not

01:22:42.280 very popular there uh you know there's just no way there's no way to make this work and that's kind

01:22:47.800 of you know i think we're both of us have landed over the years it's like i supported the iraq war

01:22:52.780 back in the day you know i mean i i certainly believed there was weapons of mass destruction there

01:22:57.360 and and we know how that story all played out but i over the years have come not necessarily because

01:23:02.560 of of that war teaching me some lesson it's really more about understanding the capabilities

01:23:09.440 of human beings and especially when they gather in government there's human beings are capable of

01:23:14.660 many amazing things and obviously our troops do incredible things when they are put into war

01:23:19.140 but managing that war is a central is an exercise in central planning and we know as conservatives that's

01:23:25.760 exercises in central planning don't work out that well that often now there's another big uh

01:23:30.740 sort of flare up in the middle east as well this one in israel where ultra orthodox jews have been

01:23:38.260 um protesting all over uh all over israel and many israelis are complaining that they're causing

01:23:45.040 disruptions to commerce uh they're stopping traffic they're doing all sorts of things that we know

01:23:50.920 what they're upset about uh yeah let's see they um let's see if again uh i read this earlier or no

01:23:58.140 the actual protests i don't know if it's in this article or not it might have been another one

01:24:03.600 i'm not sure but i think the real focus here they're they're not they're a nuisance well yes at

01:24:10.440 least people there say that they're a nuisance yeah they're like yeah look i you know we're trying to

01:24:14.080 drive home and we can't there was a there was a situation many years ago and um and this happens

01:24:18.700 all over the place but when people will protest about their job situation or the environment or whatever

01:24:23.760 and they'll walk out into the middle of a busy road and stop traffic and i always think to myself

01:24:28.140 like how can this work right like if you're trying to win people over like you're just ruining their

01:24:33.940 day and make it so they can't get home and that's not effective dinner for their families like i've

01:24:37.820 told the story about about uh the janitor strike in houston when i was there yeah and they seiu came

01:24:44.180 down from chicago and they would have uh trucks filled with uh in the back they were filled with

01:24:50.620 garbage and they'd go through an intersection like a main intersection and then somebody would

01:24:54.760 push all the garbage out into the middle of the intersection you still hold up traffic right

01:24:59.200 to say like you get me on your on the side of the janitor no that's not helping no because what

01:25:03.460 the point is like yeah this is what would happen if you have janitors right wait they drive trucks

01:25:07.600 through the i don't understand dump garbage in the middle of the street that doesn't make any sense

01:25:11.360 that doesn't that doesn't help me be sympathetic to your cause that pisses me off yeah so this one i

01:25:17.380 guess they were they were this one in israel they were uh protesting the eurovision song contest

01:25:23.120 now these are very very eurovision song yeah they that was held in israel which isn't uh by the way

01:25:30.100 in europe but it is it can be seen so vision applies so that's there okay that's where it came in there

01:25:37.780 you go yes so they went in there they went to a protest of starting uh you know it was starting to

01:25:43.580 become an issue they've tried like you know police on horseback and all these things to try to break

01:25:47.980 up these rallies um apparently the new tactic is that women have decided to go topless

01:25:54.200 apparently under modesty rules these men are forbidden to view erotic images of women other

01:26:01.620 than their wives and in some cases to view women at all israeli advertising posters are periodically

01:26:06.500 defaced if they contain images of women and some newspapers won't run any photos of women

01:26:12.080 so the idea is that the women will now start taking their tops off to break up the protest

01:26:18.100 because they're not allowed to see women without their tops off so they will they will physically

01:26:23.200 be at the protest yes and take their top and take their tops off and once they see that they have to

01:26:28.040 leave which theoretically will break up the protest i don't know it's gonna work that's an interesting

01:26:32.740 tactic it does seem like a tactic of of the left often in the united states like i love that they're

01:26:37.580 always like oh these are let's show these men these are our bodies we're gonna go to this place naked

01:26:43.520 and guys are like you're wow you're showing us you've taught us a lesson because guys hate it when

01:26:49.020 women don't wear clothing it's just yeah you don't want to see that generally speaking just just look

01:26:54.240 down upon by guys all over the world now in this particular case i think it is actually looked down

01:26:58.740 upon however i've always amazed by that here in the united states where there's like it's like women are

01:27:03.780 just like oh well i'll show i'll show you whose body this is i'm gonna go topless and guys are

01:27:08.060 like oh wow you're proving a great point right now and you're teaching us all the patriarchy it's

01:27:14.060 like do you realize what side the patriarchy is on they convinced you to take your top off do you

01:27:19.000 realize that you're on the wrong side of the patriarchy when you're protesting uh with your with

01:27:23.920 your clothing off it's not a good direction for you to go but it's they do that all the time yeah

01:27:29.180 no i say the one way they do it a lot of times is um and it is effective when done this way

01:27:34.300 is they take their clothes off but it's the people you don't want taking their clothes off that do it

01:27:39.740 yeah that's the protest right and then that does break up a crowd yes you know the lena dunham's of

01:27:45.060 the world can break up crowds like nobody's seen if given the right amount of clothing which is none

01:27:49.920 uh so it's possible i see where they're going with it well we'll keep you updated on whether the

01:27:55.780 israeli protests are really controlled by topless women i'd love to know if that works

01:27:59.600 yeah it would be a fascinating thing to watch develop pat and stew for glenn uh you can catch

01:28:53.800 are in order though for uh ellen degeneres uh i know you were wondering if she was going to

01:28:58.160 continue on her talk show uh i really wasn't concerned i know i heard you uh no one about it

01:29:03.140 the other day but she is she signed a new deal three more years oh phew i mean so she's going to

01:29:07.280 be she's going to be back on ellen is 61 now wow i mean that's she doesn't look it no she does not

01:29:17.600 million now something like that so she's i bet she's doing okay yeah she's doing all right you know

01:29:21.700 she's really likable i think she had a problem there in the late 90s when she was kind of

01:29:25.720 preaching to people on her show um when she came out as as gay uh which everybody knew it was like

01:29:32.800 the least big surprise ever on network television whoa she admitted it but the deal was that she

01:29:41.020 admitted it live on tv but then it got kind of preachy and i think people didn't really like that

01:29:45.000 and now she's not preachy at all about it and she's just fun and and so i think people

01:29:50.100 it kind of shows you that we're not homophobic we just you know we just don't want you'd be

01:29:56.840 beaten over the head with stuff right i mean i mean i don't beat people over the head with my

01:30:02.720 heterosexuality oh it just oozes from you does it does it yes it does oh my gosh yes it does i can't

01:30:09.880 help that i can't help it's hard to ignore but yes so good news for you too stewart maybe even you pat

01:30:46.700 they're talking about no i don't want my hairdo to reflect taco bell but i i would you don't want

01:30:52.800 the taco bell nails like the bell on your on your nails or anything i would say this could be a

01:30:56.600 potential investigation for the blaze maybe i as a reporter should go there that's a good for a week

01:31:02.280 or two i wish it was broadcast live from the opening i would totally do that taco bell resort i mean

01:31:08.680 we've got uh crew the cruise through history coming up maybe we can get taco bell involved in that uh

01:31:13.780 come sail away.com we just get taco bell right on right on board there then that then we're really

01:31:18.640 gonna up the no we're hearing about gourmet italian food right just give me taco bell

01:31:22.600 i love it i mean they kept saying like trump had these uh big you know dinners for all the teams that

01:31:29.300 would win and then that one time when the government was shut down he brought in fast food

01:31:32.680 yeah i'm sorry those that was exactly what they loved it yes clemson loved it loved it and now

01:31:38.380 he's been doing it uh he's done it several times since and i think that should just be the new

01:31:42.320 thing absolutely american fast food companies and of course as with everything else he got hammered in

01:31:46.780 the press by it and then and then you heard the the clemson player say no that was great that was

01:31:51.680 awesome well it's one of those things too if he had given them gourmet food there would be a report

01:31:56.440 in the washington post four hundred and twenty seven thousand dollars spent on food for they would have

01:32:01.380 gone the other way it's whatever way trump isn't is the way they have to go we were talking about

01:32:05.960 this in the break i actually kind of want donald trump to come out and make a major policy address

01:32:10.420 in which he says climate change is a serious issue and i'm pro-choice because just to see what the

01:32:15.200 media does i they'd flip oh my they would all flip they'd have to they would say look i we have to

01:32:20.620 first of all first of all it's not just women's bodies fathers have rights too and uh and this idea

01:32:27.060 that climate change is this pending disaster is totally overblown that'd be great it would be

01:32:32.740 so flip on climate change and abortion and watch what the media does oh my gosh that would be that

01:32:37.500 would be what the democrats do oh they would start passing policies they'd be like there's a heartbeat

01:32:43.120 of course they can't be allowed after a heartbeat begins six weeks is plenty of time that is they

01:32:50.400 would all completely flip i mean we've seen this on several issues over because you know because

01:32:55.640 obviously trump has somewhat of a a different policy um in a portfolio as as maybe the average

01:33:02.460 republican and certain issues in particular and you see this happening constantly people that

01:33:07.660 supported one side of the argument for decades in the media and now are i mean the trade one is really

01:33:13.940 interesting you you watch i mean cnn was the mouthpiece of the unions on trade for 30 years saying we

01:33:23.480 absolutely need tariffs and trade restrictions are killing american jobs like because you'd have all

01:33:28.220 these union representatives come on and say all of these things yeah and now because trump is on that

01:33:33.120 side of things they sound like you know milton friedman like they've all become they're basically

01:33:39.500 steven moore and larry cudlow on trade all of a sudden it's incredible to see how that changes it

01:33:45.560 should be embarrassing but it's not it's not oh they have you know no embarrassment in their best

01:33:50.620 embarrassment gene has been removed yeah at some level you just lock yourself into i'm in a battle

01:33:55.460 against this other side so whatever they say i'm on the other side of and that is like i just as a

01:34:00.660 human being i can't bring myself to go there i just don't i don't have any interest in that that's

01:34:05.040 strange speaking of uh you know fast food a little good fast food uh chick-fil-a uh i wanted to thank

01:34:10.380 the governor uh greg abbott from the great state of texas oh this is really cool uh he uh he uh tweeted

01:34:14.920 out uh the other day about the new bill that uh i believe is on his desk uh the new uh so and he

01:34:21.500 tweeted out on his twitter account so what are the odds i'll sign the chick-fil-a bill i'll let you know

01:34:27.520 after dinner and he his picture on his tweet was a large chick-fil-a drink with the chick-fil-a story

01:34:35.440 uh save chick-fil-a bill held heads to texas governor greg abbott's desk and the story

01:34:40.580 was uh from the blaze yeah uh so i want to thank i want to thank the governor for uh yeah that's cool

01:34:45.820 there's never been a better governor seriously and it's not just because he featured the blaze

01:34:51.400 in that little post and chick-fil-a but he is the greatest governor of my lifetime no matter what state

01:34:58.860 i've lived in uh no matter how long how far back you go there's nobody better than greg abbott

01:35:04.320 no you you know you lived in connecticut are you sure you want to yes i did you're gonna go that

01:35:10.320 far and i'm i'm still gonna stick to my wow my statement wow and you worked in new york right

01:35:15.940 experience that yes it was was it pataki at the time no it was after it was post pataki that was

01:35:21.200 uh was it cuomo yeah yeah i mean and now you have the opportunity to potentially vote for bill de

01:35:26.940 blasio for president right so i mean this is uh probably gonna pass up that chance wow are you

01:35:32.620 kidding me no now jeffy i noticed you brought up multiple stories here about fast food your

01:35:37.400 couple your couple of the news your podcast is called chewing the fat i will say uh it's sad to

01:35:42.880 see um post your heart attack that you seem to be losing weight and i don't i don't i don't like that

01:35:48.460 because it ruins our jokes uh mainly well we can i came on this show this very show with well the

01:35:55.120 host that's on vacation now going back and we made a deal about losing weight this year this is a great

01:36:00.260 point we made a deal about losing weight this year i agreed to it yes i've lost 25 pounds the deal

01:36:06.320 was just that we were gonna eat better and we were gonna lose weight and i've i've up to 25 pounds lost

01:36:10.900 now i'm feeling good i don't think glenn is part of that deal i will say this uh glenn and i can give

01:36:16.820 you specifics on glenn who said he was going to lose 50 pounds 50 in this year okay now we are only in

01:36:23.000 may how far how far toward that goal is he all he has to do is 60 pounds

01:36:28.220 and then he lost the 50 i i he i said that i kind of uh confronted him on this the other day

01:36:37.280 i was like glenn you know you made this big deal to lose 50 pounds this year like how's that

01:36:42.400 are you have you abandoned he's like no i haven't abandoned it at all no i'm still in

01:36:46.840 okay now look he's still got seven months no no you can still do it maybe that's gonna happen

01:36:52.800 he's on vacation this week usually we don't eat that's when you start working out and right

01:36:57.160 feeling good about yourself is on vacation so when he comes back he'll just have to lose 75 pounds

01:37:01.300 and that's not bad but you're actually going in the right direction which is nice you did remind

01:37:05.780 you though of uh of chick-fil-a which uh did a promotion a couple years ago and which is so

01:37:12.320 classic well they were giving away free sandwiches if you showed up in a cow outfit

01:37:19.380 they do that once a year they do once a year and so we decided to send jeffy to chick-fil-a

01:37:27.620 however did not dress him up just kept him like he is because he you know there's like there's a cow

01:37:32.620 there's a there's a sort of a look-alike situation already happening right you don't need to dress him

01:37:37.760 all we had him do when he walked into the store was say moo see if he got a free sandwich and

01:37:45.080 bless their hearts he did they did i don't think chick-fil-a yeah that's great i think i'm not

01:37:50.180 sure that i want to thank him for but they did it's easy to look at this as a negative and you might

01:37:54.300 look back at that as a bad memory but then i see your eyes light up when you talk about the sandwich

01:37:58.200 i got free food i got free food all i had to do was go in and pretend i was a cow i'm in

01:38:03.180 the biggest stretch really when you know but i was pretending as well that's what we were saying

01:38:09.880 you just go in as a cow is that you're uh overweight yeah thank you no i still i still

01:38:15.960 am that any health-wise are you uh okay no problem please you just went in for a for a checkup not too

01:38:21.860 long ago yeah yeah you said you're you're doing good i'm fine you've quit the smoking i have that's

01:38:27.440 amazing 100 percent in fact that's the one thing they told you even more than anything about food

01:38:33.100 yeah yeah they weren't concerned about the the diet and all they said we'll get to that smoking was

01:38:37.040 number one yeah and you've actually accomplished it which is like incredible i mean that's tough man

01:38:41.520 it is a tough five months is it still or is it is it ever so often about it no every so often man

01:38:47.700 you know if i go out walk outside the building and somebody will be out there smoking and i just want

01:38:52.440 to tackle them and take the cigarette have you considered using heavier drugs like maybe

01:38:56.900 yes okay but that doesn't help because that just makes me want to smoke more uh see so it works in

01:39:02.340 the opposite direction it's complicated i know uh and you cover uh issues just like this on chewing

01:39:07.260 the fat thank you very much every day with jeff fisher go to wherever free podcasts are sold that's

01:39:11.820 right and uh just search for chewing the fat and you'll find jeffy's face on a steak which is the

01:39:18.420 symbol of the show legitimately it's the most perfect symbol of a show ever invented in the history of

01:39:23.620 i don't know why it just seems appropriate 888-727-BECK

01:39:29.060 ah you gotta love the hypocrisy spread thick as usual by democrats uh kamala harris

01:39:37.300 how hard has she been fighting for the uh gender gap the pay pay gap among genders to to end and it's

01:39:46.040 her policy that when she's elected president it will end finally fight i don't know how she how are you

01:39:52.980 going to control the salaries that people give to their employees first of all we've talked about

01:39:57.620 the gender pay gap a million times and so is the washington post as a matter of fact which is not

01:40:04.560 conservative but they've debunked it as well yeah it's not it's not a real thing it's not i know it

01:40:09.340 feels like it's a real thing to a lot of people in fact it's one that was so pervasive that i remember

01:40:13.940 when i first started looking at it i thought it was real yeah this is maybe 10 or 15 years ago

01:40:18.880 there's a book called why men earn more that came out in the mid 2000s that really goes through the

01:40:23.900 details it's written by a guy who was uh didn't set out to to prove that it was it was real accurate

01:40:30.240 yeah he was he was um a guy who was the president of the new york chapter of the national organization

01:40:34.940 of women which is kind of interesting that a guy would be yeah um but he was uh he his theory was

01:40:41.720 if women can be paid for the same work a lot less i'll open up a business and hire women and i'll save

01:40:49.960 a lot of money but i'll save a ton of money and i'll be able to beat everybody well then he realized

01:40:54.640 when he had uh women all working for him that they had different priorities and different

01:40:58.540 decision making processes it wasn't always work first it was sometimes family first which again

01:41:04.180 we'd all praise as a decision and it's smart but it was not the the easiest way for him to run a

01:41:09.220 business and the business did not work um and he wound up going through this and going through all

01:41:13.460 the research and realizing that what we see as a wage gap is almost completely uh disintegrates when

01:41:20.960 you actually hold it up to any any sort of light but when you have somebody preaching it uh that there

01:41:26.800 should be equality in pay and and there will be equality in pay when i'm elected it kind of uh blows

01:41:36.060 your mind when you find out that in her senate office and in her campaign she's paying men more

01:41:43.300 than women for the same job believable i mean it's it's not a gigantic disparity but it's six percent

01:41:50.340 so uh men make six percent more in her uh in her senate office and they make six percent more

01:41:59.620 in her campaign now this is your big issue right now this is one of your central policy uh concerns

01:42:08.260 and you can't even figure this out to pay your own uh personnel the the equal pay that's unbelievable

01:42:16.520 yeah just unbelievable and we should point out the wage gap is not about equal pay for equal work it's

01:42:21.340 just about equal pay as average they just take all the jobs in the country and average the men and

01:42:26.220 women and that's how they come up with this paid wage gap well when you look at it when it's equal

01:42:30.280 work the the just you know the difference melts away and in many cases i think issues like uh the

01:42:36.080 medical profession and and education women earn more than men for the same amount of work um you know

01:42:42.520 it just again sometimes women are better at things and sometimes guys are better at things that's not

01:42:46.200 a surprise to any human being who's ever dealt with either one of the two uh genders which are part of

01:42:51.600 the larger family of 943 genders well if i decide after i have a baby to uh leave employment i should

01:42:58.660 continue to make as much money as i was making when i was still there right that'd be sweet i mean in

01:43:03.060 perpetuity i not just the six months that i can take off uh after having the baby but i want to

01:43:08.060 continue to make that money i think a lot of places you can take more than six months off now yeah

01:43:11.500 it's a year in some places but if you take five years off leave the profession and then come back

01:43:17.100 with the same knowledge you had five years ago and expect to come into the same job whether it was

01:43:21.540 a baby or not that did that you shouldn't be making the same amount of money and those are

01:43:24.960 the situations that occur and that's why there's a little bit of a difference but you're comparing

01:43:28.960 apples to oranges just doesn't work it's not they want you to believe it's sexism and it's just not

01:43:34.440 sexism there's like almost none of it that's even possible that it could be sexism you see this over

01:43:39.060 and over again if women can earn more with the same amount of education at the same point of their

01:43:42.580 careers and this in these same professions well how could it be sexism it's just not we will finish off

01:43:48.080 the week together and get into a three-day weekend for memorial day uh tomorrow right here on the

01:43:53.220 glenn beck program with patents too you're listening to glenn beck
