The Glenn Beck Program - 'When Gov't Sets the Fire' - 5⧸15⧸18

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.

00:00:08.620 Well, the Democrats are feeling a little desperate with just under six months to go until the midterm election.

00:00:14.780 The blue wave isn't shaping up to be quite the tsunami that the left anticipated.

00:00:20.480 So the party's most radical all stars in Congress are turning up the progressive crazy dial to 11.

00:00:27.400 The loudest congressional Democrats, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Sherrod Brown,

00:00:34.420 all think the best way to take on Trump in 2020 is proposing an over-the-top, progressive, socialist legislation.

00:00:44.100 That's their plan. More unaffordable madness.

00:00:49.120 Now, it's working in some cities like Seattle, which we'll get to here in a second.

00:00:52.360 But topping their fringe policy list, of course, is universal health care.

00:00:58.320 That's universal medical care, Medicare.

00:01:02.440 If you like the way we treat the vets, don't worry.

00:01:06.180 We're going to treat you like that soon, too.

00:01:09.220 Next is the Federal Jobs Guarantee Development Act, which has already been introduced by Cory Booker.

00:01:15.320 Now, under this genius plan, the federal government will guarantee jobs for the unemployed.

00:01:21.220 Third, this one is estimated to cost over $500 billion a year.

00:01:28.540 Third is universal basic income.

00:01:32.000 So if you don't want to work, you don't have to.

00:01:35.620 As soon as the left accomplishes universal health care, this one guaranteed to be their next pet project. 0.90

00:01:44.400 Never mind that it's completely unsustainable in a country this large with a national debt that we already have.

00:01:50.400 But the idea here is when your ideas can't win, you just bribe the voters with free stuff.

00:02:00.240 Rounding out their fabulous five, abolishing the Immigrations and Custom Enforcement Agency, and legalizing marijuana.

00:02:08.520 Wow, does that sound like a let's get America on track plan.

00:02:16.240 This is the modern Democratic Party.

00:02:20.440 They are proudly nudging America towards socialist collapse, and they've been doing it since 1912.

00:02:30.580 Democrats haven't listened to the country.

00:02:32.660 They haven't listened to their own people.

00:02:34.560 They haven't learned a single thing from 2016.

00:02:36.980 Voters are crying out for people who are just realistic.

00:02:45.560 Does anybody have an actual solution?

00:02:50.040 The left is offering just a blank check.

00:02:53.060 Pie in the sky promises that cannot be kept.

00:02:56.720 You can say they really believe it.

00:02:58.660 It cannot mathematically happen.

00:03:01.560 Ironically, Democrats are ignoring a detailed report from their own party.

00:03:07.640 We've talked about it before called the Heartland Democrat.

00:03:11.700 The report is a blueprint to help them win elections.

00:03:14.980 The left doesn't want to hear it because the prescription calls for dialing back the crazy and moving closer to the center.

00:03:34.080 People forget Bill Clinton didn't run as an insane progressive. 0.85

00:03:38.960 That was his wife.

00:03:41.860 And even look at her.

00:03:43.780 She's moderate compared to where the Democrats are today.

00:03:47.600 He was a diehard liberal, but he was close enough to the middle that half the country could relate to him.

00:03:56.020 Lifelong Democrats in the middle of America see Cory Booker and Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren as the Marxists that they really are.

00:04:05.240 And the average person, Democrats, in the center of the country, does not relate to the radicals that have hijacked their party.

00:04:29.340 It's Tuesday, May 15th.

00:04:32.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:33.720 Let's just see what Seattle did. 0.55

00:04:37.260 Seattle has voted the city council after a weekend of negotiations.

00:04:43.680 They they voted nine to zero.

00:04:47.960 For the city's largest employers to help address homelessness through a new tax.

00:04:54.460 Starting next year, it was five hundred and forty dollars, I think, per per employee that this tax was supposed to happen.

00:05:03.720 And now they have they've reduced that to two hundred and seventy five dollars per employee for companies that gross at least twenty million dollars a year in the city.

00:05:14.380 So they're they're they're gun to the head.

00:05:17.420 They're gun to the head.

00:05:17.440 Amazon tax Amazon in their eyes, I guess, successfully negotiated that to be lower, but it's still happening.

00:05:24.760 Well, I remember I remember I remember when the progressive tax first started, they they promised that it would never, ever go over seven percent income tax.

00:05:35.960 And it was only for the richest ten percent that lasted four years. 0.98

00:05:42.080 I mean, Amazon is just foolish. 0.99

00:05:46.660 What are you doing? 0.99

00:05:47.800 You know, it's it's like the company that, you know, gives in on like some frivolous lawsuit, right?

00:05:55.480 Where like you settle it and you think to yourself, well, it's going to cost us more to go and and and fight it.

00:06:02.240 So let's just settle it and give this person holding us hostage a bunch of money.

00:06:06.880 There you go.

00:06:07.720 And that's the same thing happening here.

00:06:09.060 Right. And everyone in Seattle should, of course, know that in, you know, a matter of months, years, they will come for companies making over ten million dollars and then five and then one and then one hundred thousand and then a thousand.

00:06:24.280 And the tax will go up and up and up and up and up until the entire community collapses on its own weight.

00:06:32.520 So they have resumed construction on their office tower in Seattle.

00:06:37.960 So what happened was when they said, you know, hey, we got about a five hundred dollar tax coming.

00:06:42.560 They said, that's that's twenty million dollars a year, twenty two million dollars a year just on Amazon.

00:06:47.980 No, thank you.

00:06:49.160 And they stopped construction on everything.

00:06:52.380 They paused after the vote yesterday.

00:06:56.080 They went ahead and and started construction again on their tower.

00:07:02.040 However, they did say we're disappointed by the city council's decision to introduce a tax on jobs.

00:07:07.340 And we have resumed construction planning.

00:07:10.820 Yeah, they've resumed construction planning because that's that's that gun to their head.

00:07:14.760 Right. They know that I'd rather not lose half a tower.

00:07:18.000 However, we remain very apprehensive about the future created by the council's hostile approach to rhetoric toward larger businesses, which forces us to question our growth here in Seattle.

00:07:29.460 Yeah, so you cut it off.

00:07:32.860 They've lowered the tax enough for them to finish this building, but I think they're signaling no more.

00:07:39.820 Right. We're not going to continue to expand here.

00:07:42.020 And with Amazon, it's the most amazing thing in the world, because you've got every mayor in America making a cheesy viral video to try to get Amazon.

00:07:53.080 I mean, it's embarrassing.

00:07:54.680 It really is.

00:07:55.200 It's like it's like, look, we'll babysit your kids.

00:07:58.180 Yeah. 1.00

00:07:58.420 It's like a pathetic nerd in high school trying to get the hot girl to go to the prom with them. 1.00

00:08:04.740 It's it's it's embarrassing. 0.99

00:08:06.260 And every city in America is doing it.

00:08:08.360 And every city in America should be doing it.

00:08:10.200 I don't know about that.

00:08:11.380 I don't like I, of course, want businesses to come.

00:08:14.840 You want businesses to come to your town.

00:08:17.820 I don't like the way they're doing it because it winds up being they're holding.

00:08:20.960 Yes, they're they're they're looking for tax breaks.

00:08:23.360 They're looking for special treatment.

00:08:25.260 Yeah.

00:08:25.400 And that is here's here.

00:08:27.640 I don't like that.

00:08:28.360 Here's what I do like.

00:08:29.780 Here's what I do like.

00:08:30.660 Our business taxes and our business atmosphere is friendly to everyone.

00:08:38.300 You know, Texas has to go out and court companies as well, but not all that hard.

00:08:43.980 Not all that hard.

00:08:45.060 When Texas was courting Boeing, they weren't talking about all kinds of, you know, tax breaks and everything else.

00:08:52.940 Texas already has great situation here.

00:08:55.880 You know what?

00:08:56.200 You know what they had to do in Texas?

00:08:57.820 In Texas, the the wives of the Boeing executives said, I don't want to live in Dallas or in Houston.

00:09:07.900 It's a cow town. 1.00

00:09:09.920 Okay.

00:09:11.400 No, it's not.

00:09:12.560 People get off the airplane here.

00:09:13.960 I don't know what you expect in Texas.

00:09:15.440 They're like, where where's the saloon?

00:09:18.680 I don't know.

00:09:19.720 I think it's trapped in the eighteen hundreds.

00:09:21.580 It's next to the spittoon over there.

00:09:23.460 I mean, it's like crazy.

00:09:24.880 People really have said, so where are all the cows?

00:09:28.720 Well, they're there.

00:09:29.820 They're just, you know, you're not on farms.

00:09:31.720 Right.

00:09:31.940 You're not running in the street.

00:09:34.460 So there's a few that run.

00:09:36.580 Well, that's a that's for tourists.

00:09:40.040 Right.

00:09:40.200 Okay.

00:09:40.640 So anyway, the the thing that Texas had to do was convince people that it wasn't a cow town. 0.93

00:09:49.740 And this is when Governor Perry was the governor.

00:09:52.100 And he said he went to the city fathers, the people who have all the money, you know, in the area.

00:10:00.780 And they said, you know, if we want to be world class, we have to have world class arts.

00:10:06.780 So they built an opera house and more museums and everything else.

00:10:12.840 But they didn't do it with any tax money.

00:10:15.520 There were no bonds for any of that.

00:10:18.080 They didn't do it with taxes.

00:10:19.900 They said, look, you're a patriotic Texan.

00:10:23.920 You have enough money.

00:10:25.620 This is the problem and the need for the state.

00:10:28.120 This will be good for you.

00:10:29.300 It'll be good for your community.

00:10:31.420 Build a museum.

00:10:33.420 Perot did.

00:10:34.060 All of these, the opera house is one of the greatest opera houses that have you ever been here to the 100% certain.

00:10:43.400 No, no.

00:10:44.120 They have other things besides opera there, but they shouldn't put opera in the name.

00:10:48.260 Then it's really it's spectacular.

00:10:51.960 I'm sure it is.

00:10:52.540 It's one of the greatest theaters I've ever been in.

00:10:55.000 And we've played a lot of really great theaters.

00:10:57.160 It is beautiful.

00:10:58.420 It's like the Kimmel Center in.

00:11:00.680 Oh, yeah.

00:11:00.980 You know, I mean, it's just outrageously.

00:11:04.060 Beautiful.

00:11:05.020 Not a dime.

00:11:06.260 Not a dime from the city.

00:11:08.460 That's great.

00:11:09.400 That's the way it should be.

00:11:10.920 Yeah.

00:11:11.300 And that's why people come to Texas in droves.

00:11:14.680 Not because we're saying to Amazon, hey, we'll change things for you.

00:11:18.240 We're saying to Amazon, no, it's different here.

00:11:20.980 You should come.

00:11:22.280 And that's great.

00:11:23.880 Improving your town with private dollars is obviously a fantastic thing.

00:11:27.540 I think a lot of these cities are like, well, what we're going to do is we're going to pass a law that says any company

00:11:33.560 that sells more than a million books gets zero percent taxes.

00:11:40.140 We're going to give you lots of free stuff if you sell lots of products that are under the banner of the name Prime.

00:11:48.140 It's like, all right, we know what you're doing.

00:11:50.540 I mean, that stuff frustrates me because that is the government just, you know, it's picking favors.

00:11:56.240 Come up with a good policy.

00:11:57.620 Implement the policy.

00:11:58.820 Everyone gets to deal with the policy the way it is.

00:12:01.880 That's what made America what it was and what it still can be.

00:12:08.220 I mean, New York was doing this for a while.

00:12:09.660 Here's New York with, as we all know, the worst tax scheme that you're going to face outside of California, right?

00:12:17.500 It's the worst one basically in America for business.

00:12:19.960 No one wants to go.

00:12:21.060 There's a giant island with a lot of tall buildings that you kind of need to be on if you're in a certain industry.

00:12:27.340 Wall Street's tough to make that in Topeka, right?

00:12:29.680 So you go to New York and there's a lot of people who have to deal with the, you know, oppressive tax regime that's in New York.

00:12:35.880 But they wanted to get new businesses to come to New York and particularly other places in New York.

00:12:40.720 So what do they do?

00:12:41.720 They waive taxes for all new companies coming to New York.

00:12:45.560 Well, if you just had a sensible policy the whole time, you wouldn't need to lure them with zero taxes for five years.

00:12:53.180 Zero taxes for five years.

00:12:54.800 You know what I think of as a business guy?

00:12:57.100 What's your six look like?

00:12:58.200 What is your six going to look like?

00:13:00.660 Because they're going to jack. 0.92

00:13:02.480 They're not going to be what they are now.

00:13:04.500 If they continue on this trend, the taxes are going to be much worse in six years than they are today.

00:13:10.120 And I'm not playing.

00:13:10.940 You know what?

00:13:11.300 I tell you what.

00:13:12.780 Call the movers.

00:13:14.260 Have them move us to New York.

00:13:16.460 And then in four years and 360 days, have the trucks back and we'll move someplace else.

00:13:24.980 I want to talk to you about Casper.

00:13:28.960 The idea of falling into bed at night has a whole new meaning when you start sleeping on a Casper mattress.

00:13:35.000 I have one and it's fantastic.

00:13:37.480 The engineers at Casper have outdone themselves by creating the most exceptionally comfortable sleep experience ever.

00:14:46.280 See site for details.

00:14:50.460 Couple of things.

00:14:52.140 The bottom of the news file that I think are important.

00:14:57.260 Scientists think they know what the best song of all time ever is.

00:15:02.780 I'd like them to tell me what they think the worst song of all time is.

00:15:06.320 But we'll get to that here in a second.

00:15:08.200 And what?

00:15:09.360 What is it?

00:15:10.180 I'll tell you in a minute.

00:15:11.580 But I want to know.

00:15:12.400 I know.

00:15:13.300 Is this one of those teases?

00:15:14.740 Yes, it is.

00:15:15.160 Where you're trying to get me to listen past the next commercial break?

00:15:17.560 No, I'll tell you here in a second.

00:15:18.900 I wanted to get to the trouble at Burger King.

00:15:21.040 Oh.

00:15:21.780 There was real trouble at Burger King.

00:15:24.160 And we want you to be aware.

00:15:26.640 And we want you to be aware.

00:15:27.500 Manuel Silverio.

00:15:29.900 He's from Plainfield, Illinois.

00:15:31.540 Had a problem.

00:15:32.180 I think a lot of people have been there.

00:15:33.720 And I can include myself in this.

00:15:36.280 It was about two in the morning on Sunday.

00:15:38.900 He had perhaps had a few adult beverages.

00:15:46.520 Maybe one or two.

00:15:47.620 Maybe one or two.

00:15:48.860 Sometimes they come in a pack of six, I've noticed.

00:15:51.060 Perhaps maybe a few packs of those were downed.

00:15:57.100 And so, he went to Burger King because the only time you ever want to go to Burger King

00:16:03.520 is at about 2 a.m. after you've had multiple six packs.

00:16:06.260 And you're hammered.

00:16:06.660 Yes.

00:16:06.940 So, he went to Burger King, I think, intelligently.

00:16:10.500 I think this is a good choice.

00:16:12.540 And you go to, at 2.15, he gets there.

00:16:15.760 And he realizes they're closed.

00:16:19.520 Now, this is a big problem.

00:16:20.740 Because if you want Flamin' Mac and Cheetos or whatever creation they've come up with,

00:16:26.580 you want it at that moment.

00:16:28.880 So, he starts to bang on the drive-thru window.

00:16:34.180 Were there any lights on?

00:16:35.640 Was anybody there?

00:16:36.780 It didn't seem like anyone was there, per se.

00:16:38.940 Because the place closed at midnight.

00:16:40.880 Well, the king is still there.

00:16:42.600 Well, the king lives there.

00:16:43.660 But it doesn't mean he has to get up every time someone comes to the drive-thru window.

00:16:46.680 That's not the way the king...

00:16:47.680 He's the king.

00:16:48.400 Yeah.

00:16:48.640 He lives in the refrigerator.

00:16:49.840 It's probably pretty soundproof.

00:16:51.720 And he makes the rules, too.

00:16:53.340 He's the king.

00:16:54.360 He's not on call like some physician.

00:16:57.080 Have it your way when we're open.

00:16:58.820 When we're open.

00:16:59.440 That's fair.

00:16:59.920 So, he bangs on the window.

00:17:03.540 No one's coming because it's been closed for over two hours.

00:17:07.020 Right.

00:17:07.760 It's actually almost the furthest point from it being open.

00:17:12.660 3 a.m. would be the furthest point from it being open.

00:17:15.660 He's there at 2.15.

00:17:17.520 And then he decides, while he's hitting on the window, he decides to strip naked while he's doing that.

00:17:27.340 Now, I'm not exactly sure how that would solve the problem.

00:17:31.300 I don't think that the Burger King people are going to be more likely to serve him while nude.

00:17:37.060 You know what?

00:17:37.200 You know, the guy's banging on the...

00:17:38.740 No, don't.

00:17:39.460 Don't open it.

00:17:40.460 Don't open the window.

00:17:41.600 Just stay quiet.

00:17:42.680 Stay hidden behind the fryer later.

00:17:44.980 Okay.

00:17:45.360 He's completely naked now.

00:17:47.140 Oh.

00:17:48.360 Well, now, wait a minute.

00:17:49.220 Hang on.

00:17:49.780 Just a second.

00:17:51.000 Fire it up.

00:17:52.340 Get the...

00:17:52.900 Hang on.

00:17:53.720 Turn those griddles on.

00:17:54.940 Let's go.

00:17:55.640 Flame broil.

00:17:56.540 Well, so he was sadly arrested for this, which is, to me, a Travis Sham mockery.

00:18:03.740 Mm-hmm.

00:18:04.500 But he was handcuffed, charged with public indecency, resisting a police officer, and aggravated battery.

00:18:13.900 God only knows what he was trying to hit people with.

00:18:17.080 He was scheduled to appear in court on Monday, I guess yesterday.

00:18:20.360 I said, I don't know what the update is on this.

00:18:22.360 Can we get an update?

00:18:23.100 I want to know how the guy...

00:18:24.420 First of all, did he get whatever he was looking for at Burger King, number one?

00:18:28.640 I'm not sure what he was looking for at Burger King.

00:18:31.140 I don't know either.

00:18:32.780 I mean, there's a lot of things that you can do in the nude.

00:18:37.080 Mm-hmm.

00:18:37.960 Eating Burger King is not one of them that you want to...

00:18:41.320 Because I...

00:18:42.800 You don't feel good, necessarily, after that.

00:18:45.700 You don't always feel like you look your best after you eat.

00:18:51.320 You know?

00:18:51.960 God, no.

00:18:52.420 This is pretty much really anything.

00:18:54.660 You know, when you're kind of on an empty stomach, for some reason, you feel you look

00:18:59.800 a little better.

00:19:00.620 Right.

00:19:00.900 You don't.

00:19:01.580 And we should be clear.

00:19:02.280 You don't look exactly the same.

00:19:03.860 Yes.

00:19:04.280 Yeah. 0.99

00:19:04.600 But once you've had a big Burger King meal, you're kind of like, oh, I am a fat pig. 0.99

00:19:10.420 Yeah. 0.96

00:19:11.220 It's actually what Burger King does best.

00:19:13.120 Because I've always thought that if there was a pill that they could create that made you

00:19:18.560 feel like you felt about 10 minutes after finishing Burger King, you would be in incredible

00:19:25.100 shape.

00:19:25.540 Because that's the only time I don't want to eat.

00:19:27.420 After I've had, you know, a value meal with, like, one of those weird pieces of, like,

00:19:34.300 pudding cake that they put in the triangle boxes, once you're done with that, you feel

00:19:39.920 like you could never eat again.

00:19:41.340 Now, an hour later, I'm back at Burger King.

00:19:42.760 Now, you're asking for a pill that makes you feel like you do 10 minutes after.

00:19:48.380 I don't know if they have that.

00:19:49.820 But to make you feel like 15 minutes after, it's called X-Lax.

00:19:53.840 And they do.

00:19:54.800 They do have that.

00:19:55.520 They do have that.

00:19:56.700 Yeah.

00:19:56.940 Gotta love capitalism.

00:19:59.580 Mr. Glenn Beck and his wife, Tanya, started RealEstateAgenceITrust.com because they were

00:20:04.000 personally frustrated trying to sell their own home.

00:20:06.460 Most people have a very bad experience because they hire a family member or a friend that is

00:20:11.060 forced on them.

00:20:11.960 And, you know, it's too nice to say no.

00:20:14.380 This usually ends very badly for everybody involved.

00:20:17.040 A home is the biggest investment you will ever make in your entire life.

00:20:21.140 You need to have rock solid advice because if you screw up buying or selling a home, it

00:20:24.940 can have financial impacts that can last for many, many years.

00:20:59.340 RealEstateAgenceITrust.com.

00:21:02.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:21:04.180 If you're like me, you're doing everything you can to raise your kids right.

00:21:09.640 And it's hard.

00:21:11.340 It's hard in Texas.

00:21:13.160 I can't imagine what it's like in the rest of the country.

00:21:15.640 Um, but it is hard.

00:21:18.000 And, you know, you know that your kids are going to have to have education.

00:21:22.520 They're going to have to, uh, study hard.

00:21:24.940 They're facing a whole new set of challenges that we've never seen before.

00:21:29.240 And what are you going to do when they're college age?

00:21:32.700 Well, there was a new study out that showed that political bias is, is not what you even

00:21:38.360 think it is.

00:21:39.380 I mean, you've thought it was bad, but the numbers are actually nuts.

00:21:43.160 When you remove the two military colleges from the study, the ratio of Democrat professors

00:21:49.420 to Republicans is 12.7 to 1.

00:21:54.300 40% of colleges have zero registered Republicans on the staff.

00:22:00.160 80% had so few Republican staff members that they were statistically insignificant.

00:22:07.280 80%.

00:22:08.560 It's a problem that has been growing for a while.

00:22:14.520 Now, history, there are 17.4 Democrats for every one Republican history teacher.

00:22:23.080 English, 48.3 Democrat professors for every one Republican.

00:22:29.160 It gets worse and worse and worse.

00:22:31.380 Nearly 9,000 professors for, uh, media studies, 9,000 of the 51 top rated schools for media.

00:22:43.480 It's 108 to zero.

00:22:49.160 That's how bad things are.

00:22:51.160 And these are, you know, it's, I think, unfair to say Republicans and Democrats because many

00:22:56.280 of them are Marxist, flat out socialists.

00:22:59.940 There are more socialists slash Marxist on campus, I would wager, than there are Democrats

00:23:06.600 on campus.

00:23:07.940 So what do you do?

00:23:09.680 David Barton is here to fill in some of the gaps and, and, and add a little color commentary

00:23:14.680 on how bad it is.

00:23:16.200 Um, David, you and I talked to a couple of weeks ago about George Washington university.

00:23:21.660 You go for a, a major in history.

00:23:25.440 You do not have to study American history.

00:23:28.720 Right.

00:23:28.940 And that is a common trend right now.

00:23:30.780 The top 76 universities in America, 64.

00:23:34.720 If you go in as a history major, you do not have to take any course in American history

00:23:39.300 as a history major.

00:23:40.780 So that's 64 out of the top 76 colleges.

00:23:43.800 How do you understand the last 200 years?

00:23:45.860 You don't.

00:23:46.500 And that's the easiest way to change it.

00:23:48.000 If you want to change the direction of a country, you stop studying its history because history

00:23:52.100 is an anchor that, that holds you back.

00:23:54.340 And so this is what's happening.

00:23:56.040 You find the university of Wisconsin now, a part of that system, they're dropping history

00:23:59.580 as a major at all.

00:24:00.720 You can't even take a history major.

00:24:02.420 Same thing's going in California.

00:24:04.340 History major is not even available if you want a history major.

00:24:07.380 So if you have no history, I, you know, it's the thing with Abraham Lincoln.

00:24:11.260 If I told you Abraham Lincoln dropped a nuclear weapon on, um, on Thailand to end world war

00:24:17.120 seven, you'd all laugh at me unless we hadn't been teaching Abraham Lincoln for 30 years.

00:24:21.140 And then I could tell you that you'd believe that.

00:24:22.780 So what happens is when you have no history at all, you can remake it into any shape you

00:24:27.160 want.

00:24:27.800 And that's what we're seeing coming out of high school, uh, coming out of high school.

00:24:31.420 Only two States in the United States require kids to have any knowledge in government or

00:24:35.720 civics coming out of high school.

00:24:37.160 So you go into college, you get none there.

00:24:39.700 Only 3.2% of colleges require any course in government or civics for graduation.

00:24:45.320 So we're coming out completely non-knowledgeable.

00:24:48.580 Um, 62% of Americans right now cannot name the three branches of government.

00:24:52.680 So we don't even know what that, so if you can't do it, that's easier to have a new form

00:24:56.500 of government.

00:24:56.900 We can go to socialism or something else.

00:24:58.560 But we're also not teaching math.

00:25:00.860 I mean, the scores of, of math and, and reading and writing are unbelievable.

00:25:08.960 We are churning out 60% of our students now in, in the major cities, not being able to

00:25:16.620 read or write beyond an eighth grade level.

00:25:18.540 That's right.

00:25:18.880 And on top of that, 19% we turn out or a hundred percent illiterate.

00:25:22.800 They cannot read at all.

00:25:23.720 And so that's after 12 years of school, 19% of graduates are illiterate and we're spending

00:25:29.200 on the average about 13,000 a year, about $165,000 to make sure kids cannot read at all

00:25:35.000 after 12 years of school.

00:25:36.560 This is really important.

00:25:37.620 Um, and I also think it's important that someone makes a movie about Abraham Lincoln dropping

00:25:41.180 a nuclear weapon to end world war seven.

00:25:43.080 That has to happen.

00:25:44.620 That's right.

00:25:45.280 All right.

00:25:45.680 Thank you, Stu.

00:25:46.540 I really want to see that movie now.

00:25:48.520 His kids are a little younger than mine.

00:25:50.280 He'll care very, very soon.

00:25:52.360 Um, so, so talk to me about the schools now that are, they are not even, they are not

00:26:01.100 even looking at academic scores.

00:26:03.460 No, they're, they're getting away from academic scores.

00:26:06.040 Um, the, the two, there's two national organizations of math teachers and they are claiming that

00:26:11.660 teaching math is a racist course and it perpetuates racism.

00:26:15.220 Okay.

00:26:15.600 So people in it or the, no, these are, these are the math organizations themselves.

00:26:20.120 So these aren't outside activists, these are, I guess, inside activists, which number

00:26:23.880 is the most racist?

00:26:25.080 Would you say?

00:26:25.340 That's a good question.

00:26:26.620 Eight, eight, eight.

00:26:28.140 I thought it was eight too.

00:26:29.160 It's always, well, it's always, it's like glasses on its side.

00:26:31.720 It's always looking at you, judging you.

00:26:36.260 That's a great point.

00:26:37.580 Yeah, it is.

00:26:38.420 Very judgmental number.

00:26:38.720 Oh, I've been thinking about it.

00:26:39.740 Very judgmental.

00:26:40.160 The racism of numbers.

00:26:40.980 The University of California system is now, has said, we're going to stop testing incoming

00:26:45.460 kids on math and English because not only are those kind of racist courses anyway, kids

00:26:51.140 just don't know the answers and that makes them feel bad if we test them coming in.

00:26:54.940 So we're not going to get this.

00:26:55.620 You're going to feel really bad when you're starving.

00:26:58.300 Well, see, this is the deal in America.

00:27:00.520 We're so insulated.

00:27:02.080 Um, but when you look at international testing, America comes in dead last or next to last in

00:27:07.580 math and science and reading testing over the last two decades.

00:27:11.640 And when we come in dead last, we spend more than any other nation in the world.

00:27:15.220 We have the worst results in the world.

00:27:17.320 And we used to have in education, we used to have these nationally normed tests, Stanford

00:27:22.740 achievement tests, California achievement tests, Iowa tests of basic skills.

00:27:25.880 And therefore you could say, oh, Texas is number 47 out of the 50.

00:27:28.880 We've got to work on this.

00:27:29.860 Now every state has their own individual tests.

00:27:32.300 So you can't compare states to say, oh, we feel great about it.

00:27:35.560 So when you look at Texas, we have our ratings here, but you're a superior school or whatever.

00:27:39.480 As I recall, a superior school is one in which one third of the students can read at grade

00:27:44.700 level.

00:27:45.480 And that's a superior school.

00:27:46.900 And so kids say, our parents say, my kids go to a superior school.

00:27:49.840 No, you don't know what that means.

00:27:51.140 That means that's a really inferior school, but they've named it superior.

00:27:54.100 So you'll feel really good about it.

00:27:55.600 It's crazy what we're doing testing.

00:27:58.620 So David, what, what, so what, so what do you, what, I mean, I just had this conversation

00:28:03.460 with my wife and she said, they got to go to college.

00:28:06.160 And I said, no, they don't have to go to college.

00:28:08.560 Well, if they do, there's about three or four that I know of that I'd consider.

00:28:14.300 Well, if you're, if faith is important, you better think about college again, because right

00:28:17.520 at this point, we're seeing stats that about 70% of particularly Christian kids, when they

00:28:22.840 go into college, leave their faith in college.

00:28:25.200 And at Christian colleges, almost half the Christian kids going in and leave their faith.

00:28:29.060 So when you, I've got some articles here on what theology profs are teaching right now

00:28:33.820 and theology profs in Christian schools, teaching that Jesus was a drag king, that he had queer 0.86

00:28:38.860 desires, that the Bible creates a rape culture. 0.96

00:28:42.580 I mean, this isn't a Christian school.

00:28:44.060 This is, this is theology profs at Christian and non-Christian schools.

00:28:47.780 So you're looking at pure indoctrination at this point.

00:28:51.200 You're coming out right now.

00:28:52.800 If you get a degree and come out of college, 27.3% is all that can get a job in their degree

00:28:59.140 field.

00:28:59.560 So you're going to college and three out of four students will come out and can't get

00:29:02.940 a job in their degree field where they've been trained because it's a useless education,

00:29:06.300 but they will come out with a debt of about $37,000.

00:29:10.200 So they will have a $351 a month payment for the indoctrination they've received, unable

00:29:15.360 to get a job and their degree field.

00:29:17.820 I mean, this is what we're turning at this.

00:29:19.500 This is a system that is absolutely ignoring free market.

00:29:23.080 As a matter of fact, just take Harvard, look at Harvard.

00:29:25.340 If you look at Harvard's catalog and search right now, the word you'll find so often,

00:29:30.280 sexuality, 295 listings of sexuality when you look at the course catalog in Harvard.

00:29:35.900 Now, how does that work in the real world?

00:29:38.020 And what are you going to do with that when you get out?

00:29:40.620 And so this year's listings of amazing courses at college.

00:29:44.660 Do you have them?

00:29:45.180 Oh, I do.

00:29:45.880 Yeah.

00:29:46.000 Okay, go ahead.

00:29:46.320 Let me pull it up real quick here.

00:29:48.820 For the list of colleges.

00:29:50.640 Okay, here you go.

00:29:51.820 You can get a course on tree climbing, which is really significant in the real world.

00:29:56.740 Lots of courses on pornography.

00:29:58.400 One on female sexuality.

00:30:00.040 You can get one on maple syrup production. 0.99

00:30:02.300 You can get one on the history of the pig. 0.98

00:30:04.260 Hip-hop feminism. 0.98

00:30:05.360 You get medieval sexuality. 0.99

00:30:09.140 You get rednecks, queers, and country music. 1.00

00:30:12.600 Vampire, the evolution of a sexy monster. 1.00

00:30:15.240 Campus sex in the digital age. 1.00

00:30:17.280 Queering food. 0.99

00:30:18.440 Queer religion. 0.85

00:30:19.640 Queering God. 0.56

00:30:20.780 Queering the Bible. 0.81

00:30:21.960 Learning from YouTube.

00:30:23.540 I mean, just, that's all the stuff you need.

00:30:25.640 If I don't learn from YouTube, I'll just YouTube it.

00:30:27.440 Yeah.

00:30:27.760 I have to go to a course?

00:30:30.140 Listen to this.

00:30:30.820 I'm going to read you the course description.

00:30:32.660 The course consists of students watching YouTube videos and then discussing them, and they also leave comments on the videos themselves.

00:30:39.680 Oh, wow.

00:30:40.300 Oh, man.

00:30:41.580 I didn't know the comments.

00:30:42.380 I think I'm already doing that.

00:30:45.120 Exactly.

00:30:45.980 And I'm going to pay for this and go into debt.

00:30:48.380 Unbelievable.

00:30:49.520 So, you know, we've got to rethink it.

00:30:52.060 What we're saying is put pressure on legislators, because most of these are state-funded universities.

00:30:56.300 It is your tax dollars going to absolutely destroy the country.

00:31:01.740 Socialism is a great example.

00:31:03.080 Right now, 75% of college students support socialism.

00:31:06.420 Now, grab this.

00:31:07.060 They cannot define what it is, and they are unable to give a single example in world history where socialism has increased freedom or raised prosperity.

00:31:15.520 But they believe socialism is the right thing.

00:31:18.100 Then you ask them specifically about other courses like that.

00:31:22.240 They're unable to define it.

00:31:23.500 As a matter of fact, a great example.

00:31:24.700 I just talked to George Barna, national pollster.

00:31:27.280 He just finished a poll where the 41% of Americans say they support socialism.

00:31:31.580 He then took them in and asked them specific questions about socialism, found out that at the end,

00:31:36.520 only 2% supported socialism, because they didn't know what it was.

00:31:39.780 But they've been told it's a really good thing.

00:31:41.300 That's indoctrination.

00:31:42.660 And that's what's happening with kids, is they're getting all this indoctrination, no knowledge that goes with it.

00:31:47.200 And so they're coming out wanting certain things that will never work in real life at all, ever.

00:31:54.360 David, let's talk about the one thing that you and I are working on to change this, and that is the leadership program.

00:32:02.200 Explain what the leadership program is.

00:32:03.920 And if you have somebody who is in college or you're in college or somebody that you know is between 18 and 24 and you want to enlighten them with the truth and teach them not what to think, but how to think, how to find answers based on original sources, we have a program for you at Mercury One.

00:32:25.700 Yeah, we do.

00:32:26.060 And you hit a key word, truth, because right now, four out of five millennials say there is no absolute truth, period.

00:32:31.940 Now, in the leadership program, within 15 minutes, we get them believing there is absolute truth because you just have to ask the right questions.

00:32:37.860 It's amazing how fast this happens.

00:32:39.660 It's amazing how fast you can change it by asking the right questions.

00:32:42.860 And we show students really how to ask six or seven questions to their professors, pin them in a corner.

00:32:47.660 I cannot tell you the number of accounts we have from students who have changed their professors and professors even admit they've been changed.

00:32:54.020 I mean, it's unbelievable.

00:32:54.760 But what we do is we do believe there is actual truth.

00:32:58.320 And Dr. Nation says there is no truth or I don't care what it is.

00:33:01.280 And so that's what professors do is give you their viewpoint, not what truth is.

00:33:04.820 We show you that there is truth.

00:33:06.700 We'll let you actually handle the actual documents, whether it be George Washington or things out of the civil rights movement or entertainment, pop culture.

00:33:14.740 And then we show you questions that you can ask to get to the truth, because we believe the truth is the ultimate objective.

00:33:20.380 That's what you want with education is to know truth.

00:33:22.680 So knowing what's there in colleges, what we've been talking about this morning, knowing what's there and knowing what these kids are going into, which they don't know what they're going into.

00:33:31.020 We can kind of inoculate them.

00:33:32.800 We can give them vaccinations, say, hey, there is truth.

00:33:35.200 You're going to hear this.

00:33:36.500 Ask these questions when they tell you this.

00:33:38.440 And when your professor says this, lead them in this direction.

00:33:42.080 And again, I cannot tell you how how how impressive it is to see what these kids are able to do in changing their peers and not being changed themselves.

00:33:51.500 And that's what's so good about the leadership training is not only and it's cool, too, because we get these things back from kids that said my professor said this about Washington.

00:34:00.240 But I told him I actually held that document myself.

00:34:02.860 And you're wrong because I saw and once once they see what truth is, you just can't move them off.

00:34:07.760 And it's really good.

00:34:08.500 It is game changing.

00:34:09.840 I have seen it happen.

00:34:11.120 And we have about 100 slots left that are open.

00:34:14.560 And there is nothing like this in the country.

00:34:17.520 Nothing like this.

00:34:18.620 You can go to mercuryone.org.

00:34:21.340 Find the leadership training program.

00:34:23.480 I think it's mercuryone.org slash LTP leadership training program.

00:34:29.480 Get if you are 18 to 24 years old, you want to spend two weeks with us here with the original documents,

00:34:36.980 with the truth and learning not what to think, but how to think.

00:34:42.860 What questions do I ask?

00:34:44.740 How do I find the answers?

00:34:46.740 There is truth.

00:34:48.500 You can join us for the leadership training program, mercuryone.org.

00:34:52.840 Classes start soon.

00:34:54.080 You can enroll now at mercuryone.org slash LTP.

00:34:59.960 Thanks, David.

00:35:01.240 Appreciate it.

00:35:01.860 Yeah, by the way, in how many weeks, four weeks from now, we're doing the we're doing highlights from the museum.

00:35:14.060 I think it's in four weeks from now.

00:35:15.780 I think it is.

00:35:16.180 And it's I'm going to talk about a little later today.

00:35:19.180 It's really going to be impressive and remarkable.

00:35:23.720 And it's really all about the rights and responsibilities of being free.

00:35:27.980 And it starts with what life was like before the Bill of Rights.

00:35:34.480 Kind of a dark twist at the at the beginning, but inspiring and something you won't see anyplace else.

00:35:41.460 You can find all the information about that and grab your tickets now.

00:35:44.680 David and I are both going to be doing tours.

00:35:46.460 You can get on to the list to give into one of our tours at mercuryone.org slash museum 2018.

00:35:55.140 Thanks.

00:35:55.580 All right.

00:35:56.480 Let me talk to you a little bit about how to learn, how to how to know what the right questions are.

00:36:04.780 The crypto master master course that we have going on with Palm Beach Research Group was something that we asked them to come up with.

00:36:12.880 Tika Tawariz from the Palm Beach letter.

00:36:15.160 He he was a hedge fund guy up in Wall Street and is now into cryptocurrency, left Wall Street and doing cryptocurrency has probably helped more people become very, very wealthy than any other man alive based on cryptocurrency.

00:36:30.580 And he was in my office a few months ago.

00:36:34.220 And Stu and I sat down and we talked to him.

00:36:35.780 We said, look, we don't know.

00:36:37.360 We don't even know how to buy or sell.

00:36:39.420 A lot of times, unless it's one of the three cryptocurrencies.

00:36:42.600 We don't know exactly what what we're even looking for.

00:36:48.080 What does it mean?

00:36:49.400 How does blockchain work?

00:36:50.720 He was so great.

00:36:51.600 We asked him to put together a course.

00:36:55.180 And it's smart crypto course dot com.

00:36:58.520 You can find it there.

00:36:59.900 Smart crypto course dot com.

00:37:02.340 Getting a lot of feedback on it.

00:37:03.880 A lot of people saying I had no idea.

00:37:06.800 Thank you.

00:37:07.160 Thank you.

00:37:07.500 Thank you.

00:37:08.420 Smart crypto course dot com.

00:37:10.760 Go there now.

00:37:13.400 You know, the one thing we didn't do this hour, Stu, that we promised we were going to do.

00:37:17.100 Yes, I do.

00:37:17.840 The song.

00:37:18.940 The song you told us we were going to tell us the best song of all time.

00:37:21.700 OK, scientists have found a way to scientifically prove what the best song of all time is.

00:37:29.940 Now, music is a subjective art form.

00:37:32.320 Yes.

00:37:33.360 But they now say they have an algorithm to be able to.

00:37:36.700 And there is one song that stands out.

00:37:38.380 What is it?

00:37:39.000 What's the song?

00:37:40.600 Well, don't get snippy with me.

00:37:41.840 We have plenty.

00:37:42.460 Oh, we're out of time.

00:37:43.960 Maybe after the top of the hour.

00:37:45.500 Glenn, back.

00:37:46.420 California State University, Los Angeles, Professor Melina Abdullah.

00:37:53.000 She has a clear message for us. 0.86

00:37:55.240 Stop calling the police on black people. 0.93

00:37:58.940 She tweeted it out. 0.96

00:38:00.020 Then she even pinned it. 0.99

00:38:01.460 Don't call the police on black people. 0.99

00:38:03.500 She repeated it seven times. 0.98

00:38:04.920 I don't know if you do that in front of a mirror.

00:38:06.980 And I'm not sure what happens.

00:38:08.860 But that was her message.

00:38:11.000 I don't I mean, does it matter if she repeats it?

00:38:16.580 I mean, are people not listening?

00:38:19.320 They have fingers plugging their ears.

00:38:21.100 Are they going to read it only once or not read it unless you write it seven times?

00:38:26.860 Her instructions are pretty clear. 0.97

00:38:30.400 You know, don't call the police on black people. 0.57

00:38:34.460 Now, she could have used the extra space for facts or statistics to make her point.

00:38:40.080 But like academics of today's world, why do that?

00:38:45.860 Are we not supposed to call the police if black people are in trouble? 0.95

00:38:50.100 Are we not supposed to call the police if a black man is being beaten by another black man? 0.98

00:38:57.020 Does this mandate apply strictly to black people? 0.97

00:39:00.620 What happens if the majority of like in Democratic cities, the majority of the police force, including all the higher ups all the way up to the mayor are themselves black? 0.96

00:39:14.580 What if the responding officer is black? 0.96

00:39:18.840 I don't know what to do now, because all I've been told is don't call police on black people. 0.96

00:39:25.020 Inarguably, Abdullah's attitude contains a clear hatred of the police.

00:39:31.240 Ms. Abdullah describes herself as a professor and chair of pan-African studies.

00:39:39.340 This is going to get good at Cal State, Los Angeles.

00:39:43.720 Hashtag Black Lives Matter organizer.

00:39:46.240 Pan-Africanist hip-hop scholar.

00:39:49.080 Or, I'm not really sure, I'm not really sure if that works.

00:39:55.080 She's a womanist, a truth teller, and a mama. 0.99

00:40:01.300 Her Twitter page is exactly what you would expect. 0.97

00:40:04.080 A hate-filled racist thread of accusation and activism and stories of black supremacy. 0.96

00:40:10.240 Hmm, wait a minute. 0.95

00:40:11.300 Black supremacy? 0.99

00:40:12.080 Her entire existence seems premised on the idea that blackness is supreme and whiteness is wrong. 1.00

00:40:21.240 Wow, that sounds racist! 0.96

00:40:24.900 But it also sounds exhausting, doesn't it?

00:40:27.980 Can I just talk to people who are in this boat?

00:40:31.000 Aren't you tired of being outraged by everything?

00:40:34.000 I think you're addicted to outrage.

00:40:36.180 And it's really, it's got to be tiring to view every single aspect of life as racist, or sexist, or transphobic, or whatever the phobia is that you are saying that whatever it is that coffee cup is telling you.

00:40:54.860 For Professor Melina Abdullah, make no mistake, this is war.

00:41:01.120 She is fighting a war.

00:41:02.340 Her life is war.

00:41:04.600 And she is teaching our college students exactly how to look at their world.

00:41:16.580 Don't worry.

00:41:18.040 Don't worry about it.

00:41:19.140 Keep writing the check.

00:41:20.300 It's Tuesday, May 15th.

00:41:22.700 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:24.300 Welcome to Sarah Gonzalez, who is the host of the News and Why It Matters.

00:41:31.520 Yesterday, she told us a story of a horrific story of a death here in Texas.

00:41:40.140 And the premise is, if you've been following what's going on in England with the death of the children, where these hospitals are just making decisions, Sarah, death panels are here?

00:41:55.420 They are.

00:41:56.240 Many people follow what was going on in the UK, and they say, you know, well, we need to be careful because usually what happens in the UK starts to trickle to the United States, so we just need to keep an eye on it.

00:42:07.720 Well, we've let some things slip under the radar.

00:42:09.980 And, you know, we do have death panels in Texas, of all places, which is really disappointing because, you know, you think of Texas as this freedom-loving state.

00:42:17.880 But, unshockingly, the death panel is not actually called a death panel.

00:42:23.060 Oh, really?

00:42:23.740 Well, because death panels don't exist.

00:42:25.120 Right, right.

00:42:25.960 So, but, I mean, for all intents and purposes, we have death panels.

00:42:28.720 What are they?

00:42:29.200 Ethics panels?

00:42:30.060 Yes.

00:42:30.680 Ethics panels.

00:42:31.380 Ethics panels.

00:42:32.040 So much better than a death panel.

00:42:33.340 Yes, because it would, at any point in time, be ethical to consider terminating someone's life.

00:42:38.640 Right.

00:42:39.220 You know, who wants to stay alive.

00:42:41.060 Right.

00:42:41.320 Okay, so you told us the story of Chris Dunn.

00:42:47.220 Yes.

00:42:47.460 Who was an EMS guy.

00:42:51.300 Yes.

00:42:51.380 I mean, he was a paramedic.

00:42:52.800 He was going out and helping people his whole life.

00:42:55.480 Yes.

00:42:56.180 He had some growth on his pancreas.

00:42:59.740 They didn't even do a biopsy or anything else.

00:43:02.540 They just termed him terminally ill.

00:43:05.480 Right.

00:43:06.080 Put him on a breathing tube for some unknown reason.

00:43:09.960 He wasn't having problems breathing.

00:43:12.560 And then said, you got to turn off the machine.

00:43:16.240 Then after he became, there's only a certain amount of time that you can be on a ventilator

00:43:20.620 before you are dependent on that ventilator for the rest of your life.

00:43:24.460 Correct.

00:43:24.960 Soon as he was dependent on it, they said, yeah, we're going to have to turn off the machine.

00:43:28.320 And there was still no diagnosis.

00:43:30.980 Right.

00:43:31.640 Correct.

00:43:31.940 And meanwhile, they had a hospital advocate who was talking to his mother and telling

00:43:37.880 his mother that her number one priority needed to be to sign up for Medicaid. 1.00

00:43:41.940 Uh, and she said, my number one priority would be, you know, my son who's laying in that hospital

00:43:48.300 bed.

00:43:48.620 And, um, she said, why are you so insistent that I do this?

00:43:52.640 And the hospital advocate told her because Houston Methodist needs to get paid.

00:43:57.160 So, yeah.

00:43:59.880 Okay.

00:44:00.460 So, uh, the mother is with us.

00:44:03.360 Her name is Evelyn Kelly.

00:44:04.840 She's the mother of, uh, Chris and Joe Nixon, who is the attorney.

00:44:09.440 They are suing.

00:44:11.060 Uh, I believe, I believe that they do have a lawsuit.

00:44:13.520 Okay.

00:44:14.120 Uh, Evelyn, welcome to the program and Joe Nixon. 0.97

00:44:17.740 Thank you very much.

00:44:19.640 Uh, Evelyn, I want to start with you.

00:44:21.300 First of all, I am, I'm so sorry for your loss and I can't believe this happened in Texas.

00:44:26.780 Um, can you, can you tell me, did they ever confirm any diagnosis they were treating him

00:44:33.400 with, for terminal cancer?

00:44:34.980 Did they do any tests and ever confirm cancer?

00:44:40.180 Well, they came into my room and they never sent a cancer doctor to Chris until about, I

00:44:48.160 think it was about two weeks before he passed away.

00:44:51.160 And because I kept, they kept telling me when I would not allow them and Texas right to

00:44:57.880 life, stop them from giving him those two deadly shots.

00:45:01.900 Um, I would not, uh, allow them to do that.

00:45:06.280 And so they said, then they started with Chris's eat up with cancer.

00:45:10.780 Chris has pancreatic cancer.

00:45:12.640 And I said, no, he doesn't.

00:45:14.800 And they, they kept telling me this every day, all day long.

00:45:18.280 And I said, okay, then send us a cancer doctor, send Chris, a cancer doctor.

00:45:24.520 I never saw a cancer doctor.

00:45:27.260 And so two weeks before he passed on, they finally sent that cancer doctor and she walked

00:45:35.260 into his room.

00:45:36.300 She stood over his bed and she never acknowledged me because I was sitting, I stayed there 24th,

00:45:42.640 24 hours a day, at least six days a week and only went home one day a week.

00:45:48.120 And she didn't even acknowledge me.

00:45:50.440 She, she stood over his bed and she, um, I walked, I finally walked up to her at the

00:45:56.040 head of Chris's bed.

00:45:57.500 And I said, can I help you?

00:45:59.080 Cause I didn't know who she was. 0.82

00:46:00.360 And so she said, Ms. Kelly, my name is Dr.

00:46:04.120 So-and-so and I'm the head doctor of, um, the cancer department here at Methodist hospital.

00:46:10.320 And she said, um, I'm here to diagnose your son.

00:46:15.400 And I said, okay.

00:46:16.580 So I'm waiting for this doctor to pull the covers back and examine him or show me, prove

00:46:22.500 to me somehow, some way that, you know, what they had been telling me that he was eat up

00:46:27.540 with cancer.

00:46:28.160 Or give me some kind of proof.

00:46:31.160 And so she just looks at me and she said, I'm diagnosing Chris with stage four advanced

00:46:38.040 pancreatic cancer.

00:46:39.980 And I said, what?

00:46:42.720 You hadn't even pulled the covers back lady.

00:46:45.140 You haven't examined him.

00:46:46.760 And you're going to write in this chart and in the nurses area that, that Chris has got

00:46:53.740 advanced stage four pancreatic cancer.

00:46:57.240 And she said, yes, ma'am.

00:46:58.520 That's exactly what I'm going to do.

00:47:00.600 And I said, well, that is just amazing.

00:47:04.600 I said, she, I said, you can just tell by looking at somebody, they've got stage four

00:47:09.220 pancreatic cancer.

00:47:10.780 And she said, Ms. Kelly, I was a doctor, a cancer doctor at Indy Anderson for 13 years.

00:47:19.540 I know pancreatic cancer when I see it.

00:47:21.480 I said, well, Shazam, Indy Anderson didn't know what they lost when they lost you, girl.

00:47:27.440 And Evelyn, Evelyn, if you can correct me if I'm wrong, didn't they, they looked for

00:47:32.960 cancer markers in his blood and that always came back negative?

00:47:37.300 Every day.

00:47:38.580 They kept taking blood, blood, blood, more blood.

00:47:41.800 So finally, one day I'm going, what in the world are y'all doing with all this blood?

00:47:46.160 And the nurse said, well, we're actually looking for cancer markers.

00:47:50.520 And until Chris passed on, they never found any cancer in his blood.

00:47:58.220 So tell me about when the ethics panel came in and told you that they were going to turn

00:48:07.620 off the machine.

00:48:10.040 Well, that was first that this doctor, this very famous doctor at Methodist, it was a pancreatic

00:48:17.520 liver doctor came in after Chris was there for a few weeks.

00:48:21.720 And he told me, he said, Ms. Kelly, he said, I've looked over all of Chris's tests.

00:48:25.840 And he said, I've looked over all of his tests.

00:48:31.840 I'm going to take this tube out of his throat.

00:48:34.940 I'm going to put a trach in his, in the base of his throat.

00:48:38.620 I'm going to operate on Chris's pancreas.

00:48:43.300 He said, the reason for the throwing up is there's a mass that's wrapped around the small

00:48:48.300 intestine.

00:48:48.820 I'm going to take out some of the small intestine.

00:48:50.960 He said, if I can say Chris's pancreas, I will.

00:48:55.400 But it's not, the tumor is not in his pancreas.

00:49:00.220 It's attached to his pancreas.

00:49:02.480 He said, but if I have to take the whole pancreas out, I'll take it out. 0.94

00:49:05.640 And I said, well, wait a minute.

00:49:06.460 I didn't think you could live without your pancreas. 0.96

00:49:08.300 He said, that's a lie.

00:49:09.800 You can, but it's going to, he will be a severe diabetic from that point on.

00:49:15.160 And he said, Chris is going to be just fine.

00:49:17.840 Well, I'm waiting the next day for this doctor to show up.

00:49:21.420 Never saw him again.

00:49:22.980 Never saw him again.

00:49:24.140 I keep asking, where's Dr. So-and-so?

00:49:26.940 And they just kept putting me off, putting me off.

00:49:29.880 Days after that, I'm sitting on the couch.

00:49:32.960 I'm in there with Chris, sitting on that couch.

00:49:35.080 And I have about 10 people standing above me, looking down at me.

00:49:41.300 And this president of the ethics committee, he hands me these formal papers.

00:49:47.440 He said, Ms. Kelly, I'm the president of the ethics committee here at Methodist Hospital.

00:49:53.620 And he gave me his name.

00:49:56.140 And he said, we are going to come in here.

00:50:01.340 That was on a Friday.

00:50:02.840 He said, we're going to come in here on this coming Tuesday.

00:50:06.020 We're going to take everything off of Chris.

00:50:08.340 And my nurse right here is going to administer two drugs that we call comfort care. 1.00

00:50:16.060 And Chris is going to pass on within eight to 10 minutes.

00:50:19.300 And I'm going, say what?

00:50:23.020 You're going to do what?

00:50:24.940 And I got him to repeat it because I didn't think I heard him correctly.

00:50:29.200 And he told me exactly what he had said before.

00:50:33.240 And I said, who gives you the right to kill my son?

00:50:35.980 He goes, oh, Ms. Kelly, we don't call it that.

00:50:39.080 He said, this is comfort care.

00:50:40.840 I said, you can call it whatever you want to, Bubba.

00:50:43.640 But I call it death.

00:50:45.340 That is my son you're talking about.

00:50:47.700 And I said, who gives you that right?

00:50:50.140 And he goes, George Bush gave me that right.

00:50:52.880 I said, when he was governor of Texas or president of the United States.

00:50:56.860 And he said, when he was governor, this bill went past his desk.

00:51:01.040 He signed it, making it into a law.

00:51:04.120 OK, so I'm going to take a quick break.

00:51:05.860 And then, Joe, I want to have you chime in.

00:51:08.600 I want you to tell me about the ethics panel,

00:51:10.800 because this is the death panel that we warned about the ethics panel.

00:51:16.220 Who are these people?

00:51:17.300 What are their qualifications?

00:51:19.380 And do they have the right to end life that they think is not worthy of living

00:51:25.960 or too costly to keep going?

00:51:29.880 This is exactly the argument we made when we warned against Obamacare.

00:51:37.720 We'll get into that when we come back.

00:51:40.800 So the volatility of the stock markets.

00:51:47.180 The reason investors are becoming panicked is because of the rising inflation.

00:51:52.800 And one of the few investments that can thrive in inflation is gold.

00:51:57.400 One of the major reasons that I own it is for a hedge against inflation.

00:52:02.280 However, you know, I don't I don't see myself selling it at the top of the market.

00:52:08.140 I don't I don't.

00:52:09.940 That's not why I own gold.

00:52:11.420 I own gold.

00:52:12.580 So I don't wake up one morning and see that my dollar is worthless and I got nothing.

00:52:19.180 If you think it can't happen, look around the other countries that had bad inflation.

00:52:24.560 They had to print new denominations to keep up.

00:52:26.660 One of those countries was Zimbabwe.

00:52:28.740 And there's nothing like when people start talking to you about inflation, you just pull

00:52:32.740 out your wallet and you pull out a 10 billion dollars Zimbabwean bank note.

00:52:36.500 Really didn't it couldn't happen because it's happened throughout history and we are prime

00:52:44.600 for it.

00:52:45.460 Now, I hope that it doesn't happen here.

00:52:47.400 But if it doesn't, we will be the first country that has ever tried to print and borrow and

00:52:52.300 spend our way into prosperity.

00:52:55.680 The the only other times it's ever been tried.

00:52:58.580 It ends up like Zimbabwe. 0.90

00:53:00.000 Limited number of banknotes are here in the United States and the gold line will give

00:53:05.760 you one just for calling.

00:53:26.800 We have Joe Nixon on the phone.

00:53:31.120 He's a partner at Ackerman LLP.

00:53:33.140 He's a well-respected attorney here in the in the state of Texas because there is something

00:53:40.560 that Chris Dunn's death and Evelyn Kelly, who's also with us on the phone, his mother

00:53:46.420 has brought to our attention.

00:53:48.660 And that is the Texas advance directive statute, which which means that a doctor or a hospital

00:53:55.800 can terminate life and terminates sustaining treatment if the doctor disagrees with continuing

00:54:03.020 care.

00:54:04.020 And that's when these death panels come in.

00:54:06.900 Now, they're called ethical panels here in Texas.

00:54:10.040 But, Joe, is there any is there any doubt these are death panels?

00:54:14.700 No, Chris.

00:54:15.480 Good morning and thanks for having us on.

00:54:17.580 I think Evelyn told you a great story about how these things actually work.

00:54:24.680 You know, a patient who is suffering and very ill, there is a patient or the family members

00:54:35.460 are told that the doctor does not want to continue care.

00:54:39.980 So who's what is the qualification for getting on the committee?

00:54:44.580 There are no qualifications for getting on the committee.

00:54:47.820 That's what's so shocking and scary about this situation.

00:54:52.040 So, you know, we have in statute the authorization of a hospital to put together an ethics panel.

00:55:02.380 There are no qualifications to be on the panel.

00:55:05.540 You're not required to be a doctor.

00:55:07.720 You're not required to be a minister.

00:55:09.700 You're not required to be anything.

00:55:10.980 You can be on this panel.

00:55:12.300 Do you know who's on?

00:55:13.740 Do they have to disclose who's on the panel?

00:55:16.680 No.

00:55:17.960 What about if the doctors have any kind of conflict of interest, like if they own part of the hospital

00:55:24.720 or anything like that?

00:55:27.180 Well, no.

00:55:28.280 I mean, you know, there's always the potential for conflict of interest in that the doctor

00:55:34.920 is employed by the hospital.

00:55:36.820 The other people on the panel may be employees of the hospital.

00:55:41.560 The hospital may have a financial interest in, you know, terminating care because it's expensive.

00:55:51.980 You don't know these things.

00:55:53.620 So is there a standard of, so we don't have any qualifications.

00:55:57.740 We can't know who's on the panel.

00:55:59.980 And is there any standard of proof that they have to meet?

00:56:05.860 No.

00:56:06.300 Oh, my gosh.

00:56:07.840 What?

00:56:08.440 Well, I mean, this is crazy.

00:56:10.200 We're talking about life and death.

00:56:12.380 Right.

00:56:13.160 That's what's so that is what's so problematic about this statute.

00:56:16.820 So we sued a Methodist on behalf of Evelyn and Chris and claimed that the hospital was

00:56:24.560 denying Chris of his due process rights to life guaranteed under the Constitution.

00:56:30.000 You know, you have a nameless, faceless committee without a standard of care, without a standard

00:56:36.940 of proof, making a decision.

00:56:39.020 And what's what's shocking is, is that, you know, in Chris's situation, he was very ill

00:56:44.980 and he died like five weeks after they told Evelyn they were going to invoke the process in the

00:56:54.360 statute.

00:56:55.720 But, you know, there's no requirement in the statute that you be terminally ill.

00:57:01.720 Well, it is possible they could say, we're not going to give you care to a person who

00:57:09.320 is capable of walking out of the hospital.

00:57:12.580 All right.

00:57:13.320 I just posted this story up on my Facebook page.

00:57:17.840 Sarah did a really good digest of this whole story.

00:57:22.260 But this law has to be changed.

00:57:24.740 It is the Texas Advanced Directive Statute.

00:57:28.160 And it has to be changed.

00:57:32.020 We'll continue to follow this and bring you updates as we go forward.

00:57:35.800 Check out this story at TheBlaze.com and on my Facebook page at Glenn Beck.

00:57:42.580 I have a lot to say on the Gaza protest and Israel coming up in about 25, 30 minutes from

00:57:51.060 now.

00:57:51.800 You don't want to miss that.

00:57:52.840 We were we were just talking about this this law in Texas that I think is going to become

00:57:59.580 more and more prevalent as health care locks you out of a recourse.

00:58:07.080 You know, there's one thing about public shame and public companies and public hospitals that

00:58:14.440 they don't like bad publicity.

00:58:16.720 But when the government is involved, you have no recourse.

00:58:21.260 What are you going to say to the government?

00:58:23.080 They're the government.

00:58:24.300 They're the last fireman.

00:58:26.760 And if they're the ones setting the fire, who are you going to call?

00:58:30.500 Nobody.

00:58:31.060 So there is this there is this law now in Texas, the Advanced Directive Statute, which

00:58:38.040 puts together death panels in hospitals and they're called ethics panels and they're assembled

00:58:44.860 by the hospital to hear the doctor's position if they want to off a patient.

00:58:50.700 There are no minimum qualifications to serve on the committee.

00:58:53.920 There is no disclosure of who is on the committee.

00:58:59.060 There is no standard of proof that the committee must consider.

00:59:03.300 There's no standard of medical care or necessity to the committee that they must consider.

00:59:09.700 There is no record of the proceedings.

00:59:12.380 There is no right of appeal and there is no right for the patient or decision makers or advocate

00:59:19.840 to present their sides, their needs or their wishes.

00:59:23.020 When this family went and said, wait, you're you're treating my son with for cancer, there

00:59:31.140 are no blood markers in his body for cancer.

00:59:34.040 There's none. 1.00

00:59:35.420 And you now want to you want to kill him. 0.99

00:59:39.560 No, because he didn't have insurance. 0.97

00:59:42.580 This is what they believe he was killed.

00:59:46.040 By the way, this happened in the Obamacare era, you know, that time period where everyone

00:59:50.620 was insured and everybody.

00:59:52.400 Right.

00:59:52.940 And everyone got to keep their doctors and everybody, you know, no, there wouldn't be

00:59:56.340 people that just went in without insurance and didn't get help.

00:59:59.980 Right.

01:00:00.480 This isn't 1999 back, you know, back in the day before the Obamacare was passed.

01:00:05.960 This is a prime time Obamacare before even the individual mandate was gone.

01:00:09.420 So if it's not like the government couldn't, the government couldn't do this.

01:00:14.060 It will.

01:00:14.600 But it couldn't do this and be constitutional.

01:00:17.920 You can't take somebody's life without a right to appeal, without a knowing who the

01:00:23.820 judge is, without without even knowing what you're charged with.

01:00:29.040 He was charged with cancer.

01:00:31.140 Can you show me the evidence of cancer?

01:00:32.960 Can you help me out?

01:00:34.320 You've got doctors who are coming in and saying, yep, that looks like cancer. 0.90

01:00:37.520 That's not what are you, witch doctors. 0.91

01:00:39.580 That's not the way we look for cancer.

01:00:42.200 You had another doctor say we could we could surgically remove this.

01:00:46.140 And it's not cancer.

01:00:47.140 It's something.

01:00:47.540 It's a tumor that is wrapping itself around the the intestine.

01:00:51.680 And I can go in and take that out.

01:00:53.240 We might we might lose the pancreas, but you can live without a pancreas. 1.00

01:00:57.820 Why wasn't that attempted?

01:00:59.440 Why wasn't that done?

01:01:00.520 Where where where is that?

01:01:02.680 Why is it suddenly cancer when there were zero blood markers for cancer and nobody opened

01:01:07.760 him up?

01:01:10.420 I don't I mean, how is that?

01:01:14.680 It's not constitutional.

01:01:16.140 It's a death sentence.

01:01:18.040 This is a terrible case, obviously.

01:01:20.260 You know, when Sarah first brought it up on the news and why it matters, we were talking

01:01:23.220 about it.

01:01:23.660 And I never heard.

01:01:25.360 I had never heard word one about that story.

01:01:27.260 Nope.

01:01:27.920 Sarah covered it.

01:01:28.840 And I had missed this somehow missed that back in a couple of years ago.

01:01:32.480 But I had never even heard of it.

01:01:34.260 And if you look at that and you say, well, this case is a really sad case.

01:01:37.440 Maybe it's just a one off.

01:01:40.160 Maybe it's, you know, one bad thing that happened.

01:01:42.600 I mean, you can justify that, I think, and feel better about it.

01:01:44.860 But when you look at, you know, there's a real structure here to let this thing have these

01:01:48.960 things happen over and over again.

01:01:50.120 And there's a bigger issue of that.

01:01:51.260 It is.

01:01:51.620 You're right.

01:01:52.320 Constitutional.

01:01:52.800 It's it's it's a violation of of of the basic tenets that we believe we have here.

01:01:57.820 You have to be able to face your accuser.

01:02:00.200 You have to know what has led to your death sentence.

01:02:03.840 You have to have a right to appeal.

01:02:05.940 We're talking a death sentence.

01:02:09.060 You have to have those rights.

01:02:12.280 You don't have those rights under this.

01:02:15.340 That's insanity.

01:02:17.040 That's absolute insanity.

01:02:20.760 And and they'll say, well, you could go to another hospital.

01:02:24.040 Well, because you just gave this diagnosis, no other hospital would take him.

01:02:29.820 It'd be interesting, too, because once you have a panel that is making your medical decisions,

01:02:35.020 can you take them to another hospital?

01:02:38.440 I mean, we know that was the case in the last two babies or toddlers that were killed in

01:02:43.980 the UK.

01:02:44.500 They didn't have that choice.

01:02:45.840 Well, we know that when she said no to them, she filed a lawsuit and they countered with

01:02:52.120 trying to get the hospital to be his advocate and to get the mother out.

01:02:57.760 So, I mean, it's the same story as it was in England.

01:03:00.340 Same story.

01:03:01.260 Just I guess people don't care because, you know, he was a 30 year old guy, I guess.

01:03:05.160 I guess this comes back to a larger sort of fundamental issue in which people don't understand

01:03:10.500 the rights that they have, the principles that the country was founded on.

01:03:16.560 People don't, you know, there's just not a, you know, David Barton was talking about this

01:03:20.360 last hour, there's just not a level of education as to what is supposed to happen in this society.

01:03:26.440 We are, you know, we're doing the Mercury Museum in, what, four weeks from now, and you

01:03:31.940 have to have tickets to come.

01:03:33.500 And I'm going to be giving some of the tours, leading some of the tours.

01:03:35.980 Stu is going to be leading some of them.

01:03:38.560 And so is David Barton and his son.

01:03:41.340 We're all going to be here and we would love to see you this, that weekend.

01:03:44.360 It's the weekend of Father's Day.

01:03:45.900 Uh, it's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

01:03:49.240 Um, but, but come and see us.

01:03:52.160 We're opening up the doors on Friday of the studio and we, we are showing things that have

01:03:59.760 never been seen before.

01:04:01.880 Uh, and it's, I'm, we're, we're still working on a few of the pieces that we're trying to

01:04:09.000 bring in from, um, overseas.

01:04:11.260 Uh, one of them is, uh, the rack that was actually used in the Inquisition.

01:04:19.460 Uh, and it is, it's terrifying.

01:04:22.260 It is terrifying.

01:04:23.660 There's also the, the, I think it's the chair of apology or the chair of truth.

01:04:29.180 Doesn't sound bad.

01:04:30.180 Both truth and apology can be good.

01:04:32.000 And truth is always good.

01:04:32.880 Except it's a big wooden chair with spikes, uh, that go through your back, through your

01:04:38.500 butt, through your legs, through your feet, and they just keep tightening the straps until

01:04:42.960 you find the truth.

01:04:44.600 And the point at the beginning of the museum, because it's filled with something, have you

01:04:49.100 ever heard of the pear?

01:04:51.480 These people are.

01:04:52.320 It's a piece of fruit, right? 1.00

01:04:54.320 Diabolical. 0.99

01:04:54.920 These people were diabolical. 0.94

01:04:57.000 Now, if pear is something that you put in your mouth, it's made to put in your mouth and 0.89

01:05:02.540 then you just start cranking it and it, it opens up and opens up until eventually you break

01:05:07.160 your jaw.

01:05:07.880 I mean, it's just, it's phenomenal what people did to one another in the name of God or the

01:05:15.540 name of power when men did not have rights.

01:05:19.400 And it happened again.

01:05:21.400 You say you want to go out of the dark ages.

01:05:23.800 Great.

01:05:24.460 We'll mix medicine and we'll mix solid reason.

01:05:29.900 Right?

01:05:30.520 And what do you get?

01:05:31.500 You get the Nazis because as, as, um, Nietzsche said, God is dead.

01:05:39.040 That was a warning to the German people. 1.00

01:05:40.920 What are you going to replace him with?

01:05:42.720 We're going to replace him with reason.

01:05:44.860 Hmm.

01:05:45.360 Well, here's the thing.

01:05:46.380 When people don't believe in anything, when they don't believe in God, they, they stop

01:05:54.260 believing in God.

01:05:55.780 That one thing.

01:05:56.760 They don't believe in nothing.

01:05:58.500 They believe in anything now.

01:06:01.660 So whatever is out there, they'll grab onto it and they'll believe it.

01:06:06.160 And you better hope to God that it is not one thing that means death for everybody who

01:06:12.240 disagrees.

01:06:12.840 The museum is going to take you through, um, some of the amendments of the bill of rights,

01:06:20.700 and it's going to show you what that original intent was and why it's important and what

01:06:26.500 happens when we don't abide by that.

01:06:31.860 We're going to tell you stories and show you artifacts that you've never seen before.

01:06:35.840 Uh, you can find out all about it at mercury one.org slash museum, 2018 mercury one.org slash

01:06:45.120 museum, 2018.

01:06:46.280 You can sign up to grab your tickets, uh, for my tour or anybody else, or just come on

01:06:51.880 your own, uh, but bring your family.

01:06:54.020 It is something that you will not forget.

01:06:56.160 It's a special showing of some of the items that are in the mercury museum, uh, that are

01:07:03.720 in our vaults that, that need to be seen.

01:07:06.580 And especially in this light of knowing the rights of man and where they came from.

01:07:19.420 You know, I basing a entire, an entire society on reason doesn't work.

01:07:24.200 It's because of law and order because you watch an episode of law and order and you will be

01:07:29.600 convinced that one guy did it.

01:07:32.180 And then three minutes later, you're convinced the other guy did it.

01:07:35.540 And it's like Dick Wolf has produced like 7,000 episodes of the show and every one of

01:07:41.200 them, I believe both people did it until the very end.

01:07:44.260 And that is why basing something on reason doesn't, it doesn't work.

01:07:47.860 You have to have a principle.

01:07:48.800 So you could always be convinced of something new.

01:07:51.580 There's always somebody who will come around with an argument that will convince you of something

01:07:54.460 unless you have principles.

01:07:55.260 So continue, you know, uh, the progressive, uh, you know, theology.

01:08:01.720 I think it's theology now. 0.99

01:08:03.780 Um, we should kill Dick Wolf. 0.97

01:08:06.280 No, I don't think he's making us question things and that's not right. 1.00

01:08:10.860 Just kill him. 0.96

01:08:12.100 I don't think that that's not everything is solved. 1.00

01:08:14.240 Stop listening to Dick Wolf.

01:08:16.260 According to Fannie Mae's latest housing report, April was a seminal month for homeowners.

01:08:20.960 It found the consumer confidence in housing has jumped to its highest level on record.

01:08:26.100 People who think that home prices are going to move even higher rose the most.

01:08:31.320 And those who think that now is a good time to sell came in second.

01:08:35.540 This, it looks like the gloom and doom is gone.

01:08:38.600 At least right now, now is the time to sell your house.

01:08:42.960 If you've been thinking about it, do it now, but put your, put your house in the hands of 0.94

01:08:47.920 a real estate agent that is qualified, that knows how much your house is worth in your

01:08:53.060 area and has the proven track record of selling homes on time.

01:08:58.120 And for the most amount of money, it's realestateagentsitrust.com realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:09:11.240 by lunchtime, you're going to have somebody responding to you, uh, and talking to you about

01:09:18.020 your house and showing you what they think the house is worth.

01:09:22.160 They're going to talk you all the way through it.

01:09:24.480 If you don't like them, I mean, I think that you should make this your last stop, but interview,

01:09:29.200 interview your real estate agent, ask them, what is your plan to sell my house?

01:09:35.240 What is your, what is your advertising plan?

01:09:37.580 And if somebody says, well, I'm going to, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to, you,

01:09:40.600 I won't take such a big cut off.

01:09:43.040 Really?

01:09:43.560 You're, you don't even know the value of your work.

01:09:46.400 How do you know the value of my house?

01:09:48.860 Get the person with the knowledge, the skill and the track record, and you will find them

01:09:53.440 at realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:09:56.280 That's realestateagentsitrust.com.

01:10:02.960 There is a, a great story.

01:10:04.900 Do you remember the shooting of the congressman, which was not politically motivated?

01:10:10.780 No, definitely not.

01:10:12.040 Right.

01:10:12.480 Definitely not.

01:10:13.380 Definitely not.

01:10:14.300 There is a, there's new research on this on, on a couple of things.

01:10:17.600 One, yes, it was politically motivated.

01:10:20.360 And two, um, the, the, the amount of coincidence that stopped this from being much, much worse.

01:10:29.660 Yeah.

01:10:30.640 First of all, on the, on the not politically motivated part, with the amount of attention

01:10:35.480 and beating James Comey has taken in the media from particularly conservatives, but really

01:10:40.200 both sides have beat up on James Comey saying he's was incompetent at times.

01:10:44.980 Uh, the fact that the FBI concluded that the shooting wasn't politically motivated.

01:10:51.280 How is that possible?

01:10:51.940 How is that possible?

01:10:53.100 Listen to this.

01:10:53.840 Uh, the guy, the shooter carried a name of law, uh, the list of names of lawmakers in

01:10:58.260 his pocket with six of them.

01:10:59.460 Mo Brooks, Jim Jordan, Trent Franks, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:11:03.240 Uh, the list included their office numbers and short physical descriptions.

01:11:07.540 So again, like this guy was specifically targeting at least six Republican politicians.

01:11:12.940 The list included their office numbers, physical, uh, descriptions.

01:11:16.480 He recorded a video of the field in April, uh, assigned the prosecutor wrote in his official

01:11:20.860 report that Hodgkinson had already selected Simpson field as a potential target as early

01:11:25.240 as April, 2017 has shooting happened in June, only 11 months ago ago.

01:11:29.860 And by the way, that's kind of the point of this article is like, we really forgot about

01:11:32.980 that one pretty fast.

01:11:33.820 Didn't we?

01:11:35.520 We really did.

01:11:36.540 We almost lost like 10% of all elected Republicans.

01:11:39.880 I don't think we did.

01:11:40.940 It doesn't fit anybody's agenda.

01:11:42.940 I guess not.

01:11:44.960 Uh, but still it's amazing.

01:11:47.140 Um, they had, uh, noticed the shooter in the bleachers the day before the shooting.

01:11:51.560 He, uh, he, uh, had fallen on hard times.

01:11:54.900 He worked, uh, moved from Illinois to DC in March, 2017, telling his family he was leaving

01:11:59.380 to protest, leaving in a van near the YMCA near, right near the field.

01:12:03.940 Uh, his social media posts show that he hated Trump, supported Bernie Sanders, his campaign

01:12:08.560 even volunteered for.

01:12:09.920 He routinely wrote letters to the local paper criticizing Republicans.

01:12:13.700 When he, when, uh, one of the congressmen left a practice early that morning, uh, this

01:12:18.340 guy walked up to him and said, can you tell me who's practicing this morning?

01:12:21.720 Republicans or Democrats?

01:12:22.580 This is the Republican team.

01:12:24.300 He responded.

01:12:25.060 He said, okay, thanks.

01:12:26.960 And then when it started to shoot them all.

01:12:28.600 So the idea that it was not politically motivated and that James Comey was leading the FBI somehow

01:12:33.580 came up with the conclusion that it was not politically motivated.

01:12:37.400 Politically motivated, motivated, we, we immediately think, well, that's Democrat and Republicans.

01:12:43.120 Well, this one clearly was, but beyond that, if a guy has a list of politicians, no matter

01:12:49.880 who they are, he has a political agenda.

01:12:53.680 Yeah.

01:12:54.100 He wants to disrupt the politicians and politics of the United States of America.

01:12:59.700 Right.

01:12:59.860 And that's why we always have this issue with terrorism and whether it's terrorism or not.

01:13:03.240 When you have a political motive like that, it is terrorism.

01:13:05.940 Um, so there also was, you mentioned the coincidence.

01:13:08.280 Listen to this.

01:13:08.640 The shooter never got a good shot into the dugout.

01:13:10.560 That's where everyone was hiding.

01:13:11.600 And it was a dugout.

01:13:12.900 Most dugouts at softball fields are not, they're not down.

01:13:16.220 They had a place to hide.

01:13:17.280 The first shot hit the fence, diverting the bullets path away from a Trent Kelly, who's

01:13:21.280 standing right there.

01:13:22.500 They should still have the chain link fence at the field still broken today.

01:13:26.280 They have a picture of it in the article.

01:13:27.860 Um, that he never thought to climb the announcer's booth where he'd had elevation.

01:13:31.340 Can you imagine that?

01:13:32.040 The pitchers weren't there that day.

01:13:33.640 They would have been trapped in a batting cage throughout the shooting.

01:13:36.380 Can you imagine that?

01:13:37.480 Um, uh, people who they go through a list of people who turned just the way, you know,

01:13:42.120 so a millimeter left or right, they would have been dead.

01:13:45.180 Um, the doctor didn't leave early who was able to help the people who he was supposed

01:13:49.720 to.

01:13:50.120 The ambulance hit all green lights on the way to the field.

01:13:52.420 The gate next to the third base to which the shooter could have walked right through

01:13:56.340 and onto the field was locked.

01:13:58.160 So he had to, he started at third base and had to walk around the fence to the other

01:14:01.820 side.

01:14:02.620 And everyone says that that credits them for, for, uh, you know, being able to survive

01:14:06.920 it.

01:14:07.220 And the fact that Scalise was there at all, because without Scalise, the Capitol police

01:14:11.200 would not have been there.

01:14:12.320 And all of these guys would have been dead.

01:14:14.300 All of them.

01:14:15.320 Unbelievable.

01:14:15.840 Unbelievable.

01:14:16.360 Unbelievable.

01:14:16.980 Back in just a second.

01:14:19.600 Glenn Beck.

01:14:20.160 Back.

01:14:20.960 So yesterday we opened up the embassy in Jerusalem.

01:14:25.340 Now, let me just put this into perspective.

01:14:27.080 What we did, we opened our embassy in a city that is the seat of power for the government

01:14:36.220 of the country in which we have an embassy.

01:14:41.280 Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, according to Israel.

01:14:47.180 So we opened an embassy.

01:14:50.640 We did this after years of denying the truth.

01:14:55.060 Everybody knows Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, everyone, but we've denied it and we've 1.00

01:15:02.300 been cowards. 0.59

01:15:03.720 And yesterday we decided to do something pretty non-controversial.

01:15:09.300 It's as controversial as saying, you know what, we're not going to have our embassy in

01:15:15.980 St. Petersburg anymore.

01:15:18.440 We're going to have it in Moscow because that's where all of the leadership is.

01:15:25.840 Controversial?

01:15:27.620 Well, of course.

01:15:29.100 But it's only controversial to those in the media that have a hard time recognizing what

01:15:37.920 truly is controversial.

01:15:40.160 Listen.

01:15:40.920 This is controversial.

01:15:42.940 Moving from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.

01:15:45.620 We begin this morning with an historic moment in relations between the United States and Cuba.

01:15:50.560 Is that the move, this very controversial move, which clearly is a blow to Palestinians.

01:15:54.880 It was a real historic day, steeped in symbolism.

01:15:58.860 Not only did the national anthem play.

01:16:01.440 Underlining just how controversial this embassy move is.

01:16:04.920 Reopened, rather, U.S. Embassy in Havana for the historic moment.

01:16:08.220 And right now, the ceremony for that embassy opening, which is highly controversial.

01:16:13.000 Secretary of State John Kerry about his historic trip to Havana.

01:16:16.960 On that incredibly tense issue of Jerusalem's final status.

01:16:20.120 Historic moment this morning, the raising of the American flag over the U.S. Embassy in Cuba.

01:16:24.600 In many ways, today is all about controversy, faith, and history.

01:16:29.220 Now to the historic moment that is set to unfold in Cuba a little bit later this morning.

01:16:33.200 The U.S. Embassy making its official and quite controversial move where the American flag

01:16:37.380 is flying over the U.S. Embassy in Havana for the first time in more than half a century,

01:16:42.060 the latest on this historic day.

01:16:43.760 Why would the White House, in the middle of what they already know is controversial,

01:16:47.880 choose someone controversial?

01:16:49.520 And for now, we leave you with just some of the sights and sounds of this historic day

01:16:54.860 here in the Cuban capital.

01:16:57.600 You keep using that word.

01:16:59.460 I do not think it means what you think it means.

01:17:02.160 Let me just go over this.

01:17:04.900 The controversy yesterday was that we supported a country created, in fact, the only country

01:17:13.120 ever created by the U.N.

01:17:16.340 It was a country created by the world.

01:17:21.620 A country of equal rights that treats women and homosexuals and race and religion equally.

01:17:29.060 In fact, the only country in the Middle East where that is true. 0.94

01:17:33.560 We opened an embassy in the city where the government has its seat of power.

01:17:42.140 That was controversial.

01:17:43.800 What is not controversial is the embracing of a communist nation without any changes.

01:17:54.420 Think of that.

01:17:55.660 We fought a cold war against communism, and it's not controversial to suddenly embrace a communist

01:18:05.300 country, a communist country, which is a nation that has human rights abuses as long as you 0.95

01:18:13.240 can see.

01:18:15.040 Gulags, torture, death, oppression.

01:18:18.580 We, it's not controversial to embrace a nation taken by dictators who have enslaved its own

01:18:26.660 people, silenced the press, and kills those who speak out against it.

01:18:35.520 That's not controversial to the press.

01:18:40.000 But yesterday, doing what everyone knows is true is controversial.

01:18:47.240 And the only reason why it was controversial is because the media and its allies want the

01:18:57.160 Palestinians to win.

01:19:00.120 Now, quite honestly, I want everybody to win.

01:19:04.200 As long as you are not setting fields on fire, chanting death to anyone.

01:19:12.460 I'm not on, I'm not on the Israeli side. 0.82

01:19:15.460 If they were on the other side, chanting death to Palestinians, death to Palestinians, I'm not on

01:19:20.900 their side, but they're not doing that.

01:19:23.380 They dropped pamphlets yesterday saying, please do not try to cross our border.

01:19:29.440 Well, you shot an innocent child in a wheelchair. 0.88

01:19:32.600 Well, wait a minute.

01:19:33.300 Hang on just a second.

01:19:34.400 Why would you have a child at the front of the line on a, on a border where they've told

01:19:43.420 you not to cross?

01:19:46.320 You have slingshots, rocks, burning tires.

01:19:50.240 You have launched kites in the hopes that you could set the kite on fire, which would then

01:19:56.540 nosedive into the fields on the other side of the border and burn the Israeli food supply.

01:20:02.900 Why are you going to put it, does he have an emergency appointment in Israel for a doctor

01:20:09.000 that maybe Hamas doesn't have? 0.73

01:20:13.500 Why was the kid in the wheelchair even there? 0.85

01:20:17.300 Even the Washington Post quoted yesterday, supporters of Hamas and the people who were there

01:20:25.100 at the border, Palestinian to cross over, asked what their objective was, quote, to gain 0.82

01:20:32.500 entrance into Israel and kill Israelis. 0.98

01:20:38.960 To the mainstream media. 0.99

01:20:41.960 I can't explain us.

01:20:43.920 I have no idea why we, why the hell we still pay attention to you.

01:20:46.940 I have no idea why anybody's still watching you.

01:20:49.280 I really don't.

01:20:51.140 We should just dismiss you.

01:20:53.600 And your power is gone once we stop watching you.

01:20:56.920 So I don't know why we do it.

01:21:00.000 We're here to point out what you do so we can show the people the influence that you're

01:21:04.700 having as you're trying to brainwash us.

01:21:06.660 But those days are over.

01:21:08.540 There's not just three networks anymore.

01:21:11.100 We have other sources.

01:21:12.600 We can go right to the source.

01:21:14.200 We can see the kid in the wheelchair and ask ourselves, what the hell were people thinking?

01:21:19.380 And it has nothing to do with the Israelis. 0.57

01:21:24.960 The only real controversy here yesterday is why we still give the people in media the power we do.

01:21:38.620 It's Tuesday, May 15th.

01:21:41.120 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:21:42.840 Speaking of that, giving power to the media, we were talking about the bizarre way we treat

01:21:53.560 Saturday Night Live and what it's become.

01:21:57.440 And I feel like this grows from mainly the Sarah Palin thing where like all of a sudden

01:22:03.260 they decided what our job is here is to try to overturn election results or stop people

01:22:09.780 from voting a certain way.

01:22:10.780 Everything has been politicized.

01:22:13.320 It really has.

01:22:14.000 And like they've always done political comedy on Saturday Night Live, but it feels like

01:22:16.580 now that's just kind of their goal.

01:22:17.900 Like making you laugh is completely secondary to what their goal is with a big G.

01:22:24.380 So Vice actually wrote about this.

01:22:26.760 Now Vice is no conservative outlet by any means.

01:22:30.380 Oh, no, it's practically Newsmax.

01:22:33.560 It's close to Newsmax, but not exactly.

01:22:38.020 But more not.

01:22:38.740 You could tell that they're not Newsmax because of how much money they've raised.

01:22:42.460 Yes.

01:22:42.680 Because they've been able to get billions and billions and billions of dollars.

01:22:45.560 And they're still not making it, are they?

01:22:46.900 No, they're having a real tough time financially.

01:22:49.100 I mean, they just cut off.

01:22:50.160 Didn't they just cut off a whole bunch of people or were they rumored to do that?

01:22:53.800 They did have a...

01:22:55.040 I mean, look, the media is going through that at every level.

01:22:58.040 They're going out of business.

01:22:58.620 They've run it into the ground.

01:22:59.900 There's nothing left.

01:23:00.940 Right.

01:23:01.260 They're firing people.

01:23:03.020 They're going bankrupt.

01:23:04.980 Go ahead.

01:23:05.540 So this is an amazing story, though, from Vice.

01:23:11.920 Hey, SNL.

01:23:13.060 Cold opens are unfunny, elitist pieces of liberal propaganda.

01:23:17.040 From Vice.

01:23:18.820 It writes, SNL, I come as a friend.

01:23:21.020 Your cold opens are terrible, cringeworthy pieces of self-satisfied liberal propaganda

01:23:25.640 that are sometimes so bad they seem like parodies of themselves.

01:23:29.260 Even if you avoid SNL, you probably hear about these cold opens, which are consistently

01:23:32.800 politically themed, but they're mostly just recaps of the political news of the week

01:23:37.140 performed by A-list celebrities.

01:23:39.160 Thanks to star power, these sketches inevitably draw headlines.

01:23:42.600 Last Weekend's Affair featuring Ben Stiller as Michael Cohen, Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka

01:23:46.660 Trump, and Jimmy Fallon as Jaron Kushner was no exception.

01:23:49.560 And honestly, if you're a fan of very famous people appearing together on screen, a very successful

01:23:54.300 genre, if the Avengers franchise is any indication, you'll get your money's worth.

01:23:57.800 So, this is, can we start with the SNL cold open with Stormy Daniels?

01:24:01.820 This is the one that he's talking about, and this is every week with these things.

01:24:05.700 Yes.

01:24:05.820 They make the news all the time, but this is the one with Stormy Daniels in it.

01:24:09.020 Listen.

01:24:09.620 Michael, did we hear Giuliani call Jared disposable on national television?

01:24:13.920 Because Jared is furious.

01:24:15.340 Yeah, man.

01:24:15.760 I'm like, what the hell?

01:24:16.460 I'm so mad right now. 0.97

01:24:18.280 You don't even want to see me. 1.00

01:24:19.740 I mean, I could cut a bitch. 1.00

01:24:22.160 Don't even try to come for me. 1.00

01:24:23.520 Oh, okay.

01:24:24.260 Listen, Ivanka, you know your dad would do anything to protect you, but if he needs

01:24:30.940 to, he'd throw Jared under the bus in a heartbeat.

01:24:33.800 What'd he say?

01:24:35.620 He said you're fine.

01:24:37.440 All right.

01:24:37.780 I'll talk to you later.

01:24:40.380 Mr. Trump? 0.84

01:24:41.620 Where the hell were you, Michael?

01:24:43.060 I don't have time to wait on hold.

01:24:44.780 I'm supposed to be meeting with my new chief strategist, Kanye West.

01:24:47.780 Then what do you want me to do?

01:24:52.540 Call up Stormy Daniels and fix this once and for all. 1.00

01:24:55.760 Maybe keep me on the phone, too.

01:24:57.660 I'll just be quiet and listen.

01:25:08.900 Stormy Daniels.

01:25:11.560 Stormy?

01:25:12.780 This is Michael Cohen.

01:25:14.200 Are you alone?

01:25:16.000 Yes.

01:25:16.760 And what are you wearing?

01:25:17.780 Excuse me?

01:25:22.960 Okay, Michael.

01:25:23.880 I can take it from here.

01:25:25.020 Okay, but as your attorney, I highly advise against you.

01:25:31.020 So what up, girl?

01:25:33.000 That's hysterical.

01:25:33.900 So again, there aren't any jokes in that sketch.

01:25:38.300 The only things that are notable are people appearing.

01:25:41.520 Like Stormy Daniels is actually Stormy Daniels, and that's seemingly the joke.

01:25:47.900 The joke is the person they're talking about is on the screen.

01:25:51.320 That's not a joke.

01:25:52.100 And this is, I think, the larger problem with Saturday Night Live is it's not that the politics are screwed up, which, of course, I would argue they are.

01:26:02.460 It's just that they're not even attempting to make jokes anymore.

01:26:06.100 Listen to this.

01:26:06.860 This is something I think you'll find interesting, Glenn.

01:26:09.080 I don't know if anyone else in the world will.

01:26:11.100 This is the first sketch of, this has nothing to do with politics.

01:26:14.420 The first sketch of this past weekend's episode, Amy Schumer is the host.

01:26:18.680 Okay?

01:26:19.100 And the sketch premise is a game show in which mothers and daughters or sons guess things, facts about each other, right?

01:26:29.100 Like a mother's mommy knows best, right? 0.99

01:26:30.760 Right, right.

01:26:31.180 So, what do you know about this?

01:26:33.100 And the main joke in the sketch is there's one really creepy mother-son pair that seem to be maybe incestuous.

01:26:42.160 Okay.

01:26:42.240 That's the main joke.

01:26:43.220 But I want to draw your attention to a second joke.

01:26:46.400 When it comes to comedy, by the way, incest is best.

01:26:48.560 But go ahead.

01:26:48.840 It is, of course.

01:26:50.140 This is, now, this is a second joke.

01:26:52.480 This is Amy Schumer introducing the game show and talking to her announcer, like the onstage announcer.

01:27:02.100 Let's start there.

01:27:03.460 To find out what our teams are playing for today, let's check in with our announcer, Cutie Pie Paul.

01:27:09.160 Please don't call me that.

01:27:10.340 Just Paul, please.

01:27:11.940 Our teams are playing for a grand prize of $10,000.

01:27:14.980 And again, just Paul.

01:27:16.860 Thank you, Cutie Pie Paul.

01:27:21.380 Now, that's a joke, I guess.

01:27:25.240 Is it a Me Too joke?

01:27:27.160 But it doesn't get to that, right?

01:27:29.180 That was just right there.

01:27:30.280 But when you have a joke like this, what is this, Glenn?

01:27:33.580 As a person who's done comedy for a long time, you would know that a joke like that doesn't have to be funny the first time.

01:27:41.080 Right?

01:27:41.320 You're building to something.

01:27:42.960 Right.

01:27:43.140 It works in threes.

01:27:44.220 Perfect.

01:27:44.920 So you're going to that and you're building to something.

01:27:46.600 So the way that that joke would be structured would be the first time she says Cutie Pie Paul and he's uncomfortable with it.

01:27:53.380 The next time he would escalate that, she would escalate it to something more dramatic and he would be more uncomfortable.

01:27:59.480 And then it would keep going until by the end it got ridiculous, right?

01:28:02.860 That's how you would escalate that joke.

01:28:04.560 Correct.

01:28:04.740 So here's the next time this joke run comes up.

01:28:08.300 This is, again, Amy Schumer talking to the announcer.

01:28:11.760 Close game so far, huh, Cutie Pie Paul?

01:28:14.600 Please, just call him Paul.

01:28:17.500 We'll see.

01:28:18.360 Okay, all right.

01:28:22.180 So it's the exact same thing.

01:28:24.420 It's not escalated.

01:28:26.460 And there's no punchline.

01:28:28.120 He just, again, says the same thing.

01:28:30.720 So now you're looking, okay, so are they escalating this?

01:28:33.320 What's happening?

01:28:34.000 So the next time this comes up.

01:28:36.080 This should be the payoff.

01:28:37.080 This is the payoff, right?

01:28:38.020 Usually the third one.

01:28:38.800 There isn't, Glenn, there isn't a third one.

01:28:42.580 That is it.

01:28:43.900 That is the entire run of that joke.

01:28:46.380 I just played you both examples of it.

01:28:48.460 She says, Cutie Pie Paul.

01:28:49.680 He says, don't call me Cutie Pie Paul.

01:28:51.280 Then inexplicably, a minute and a half later, she brings it up again.

01:28:55.580 He responds the exact same way and that's it.

01:28:58.520 There was no point for that to be part of that sketch.

01:29:02.840 It's as if they screwed up and forgot part of it.

01:29:06.480 It was the first sketch.

01:29:07.620 The number one sketch they came up with.

01:29:11.240 And in the middle of it, for no reason, are those two Cutie Pie Paul references.

01:29:16.020 It never escalates.

01:29:17.340 It never leads to anything.

01:29:18.680 It doesn't get to the third time.

01:29:19.860 Let me just translate.

01:29:20.580 Let me just bring this back to you.

01:29:22.180 All right.

01:29:23.080 So Vox is making the point that you would just turn this into just political nonsense.

01:29:27.420 Vice, yes.

01:29:27.940 You're vice. 0.70

01:29:28.680 You've just made this into political nonsense. 0.98

01:29:30.980 It's not even funny.

01:29:32.100 You're not even trying anymore.

01:29:33.240 I contend that they're just as funny as they've always been.

01:29:40.460 They've just gotten press because they've made political points.

01:29:46.360 Well, their comedy hasn't gotten worse.

01:29:49.180 That's the way Saturday Night Live has always been.

01:29:52.960 But it's like, that is just lazy.

01:29:58.460 Either take it out or do something with it.

01:30:01.060 One of the two.

01:30:02.180 You don't leave the joke in and then do nothing with it.

01:30:05.320 These are all professional comedians.

01:30:08.300 They all are on the highest profile sketch comedy program of all time.

01:30:12.400 And they leave that in there?

01:30:13.640 That makes no sense.

01:30:15.500 It's like, they're just like, ah, whatever.

01:30:18.440 Like, they came up with a joke.

01:30:19.640 And that would be funny if we call them cutie pie. 0.99

01:30:21.260 Well, but it doesn't go anywhere.

01:30:22.160 Yeah, just leave it in.

01:30:23.240 That is the biggest problem with Saturday Night Live.

01:30:26.020 They can be political if you're funny.

01:30:28.640 They don't care.

01:30:30.060 They're putting all of their time in the celebrity appearances and the political acts.

01:30:35.280 That's their job.

01:30:36.340 What a surprise.

01:30:37.040 It's coming from NBC.

01:30:38.040 But there is somebody else jumping ship on the NBC bandwagon.

01:30:42.300 And I want to bring this story to you here in just a second.

01:30:46.220 First, let me tell you about SimpliSafe.

01:31:02.120 Do you?

01:31:02.920 Or do you pay $40 or $50 a month and it's an old outdated system that's using hardwires?

01:31:09.320 Or you can own the system for an unbelievable price and then you're not locked into anything because you have control over your life.

01:32:04.000 So I saw an article yesterday.

01:32:06.740 It's official.

01:32:07.460 Morning Joe is dead.

01:32:10.460 And it starts out.

01:32:11.740 For years, I started my day with a dopamine hit at 6 a.m. for Morning Joe.

01:32:15.940 Oof.

01:32:16.640 I got my fix a little later, recording the show to feed my craving.

01:32:20.020 At a more civilized hour.

01:32:21.720 But the debate was fun and stimulating.

01:32:23.340 The tribe was passionate.

01:32:24.380 He goes on to talk about how this was a giant family and what everybody represented.

01:32:28.800 And now everybody in the family just agrees.

01:32:31.700 And there is no variety on this at all.

01:32:36.920 And he said,

01:32:38.460 I would not ask anybody in this television family to become what they are not or defend what they find indefensible.

01:32:43.300 But I would ask that they would consider.

01:32:45.900 Listen to this.

01:32:46.820 This is somebody who loved Morning Joe.

01:32:48.620 Actually likes the show.

01:32:49.780 The one person.

01:32:50.500 The one person who liked it.

01:32:51.540 On earth.

01:32:51.800 Okay.

01:32:52.300 I would not ask that they consider.

01:32:55.020 I would not ask that they consider what is becoming obvious to others.

01:32:59.540 Donald Trump may end up not only being a good president, but a great one.

01:33:04.780 With a powerful record of accomplishment.

01:33:07.640 Precisely because he is doing the opposite that everything Morning Joe supports.

01:33:13.440 What might help is introspection.

01:33:16.140 Hmm.

01:33:16.500 Hmm. 0.72

01:33:17.100 Donald Trump was a hand grenade thrown under Washington's door. 0.59

01:33:21.000 Millions of Americans saw Trump with his gargantuan failings and excesses.

01:33:25.600 And chose him anyway.

01:33:27.660 Over the world.

01:33:28.940 Morning Joe continues to defend.

01:33:31.900 Someone might ask.

01:33:33.640 Why?

01:33:34.900 What have we been doing wrong?

01:33:36.600 Was our failure that majestic?

01:33:38.900 Joe might even ask.

01:33:40.020 What should we, the family that represents America's establishment.

01:33:44.660 Wow.

01:33:45.860 Learn from this massive rejection.

01:33:47.900 Since our country did risk the entire future of humanity on Donald Trump.

01:33:51.940 Rather than just go one more lap around the track with us.

01:33:56.360 But neither old political party is asking those questions.

01:34:00.000 And so neither is Morning Joe.

01:34:02.280 And that is why it's official.

01:34:05.760 Morning Joe is dead.

01:34:07.980 According to a, I say this with all surprise, a fan of the show.

01:34:13.240 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:34:17.900 Our best to Melania Trump, who is, uh, just, uh, just, uh, just hashtagging me too over here. 0.98

01:34:26.720 Sorry.

01:34:27.020 I was just telling Stu, I've said everything I want to say.

01:34:30.340 And I do.

01:34:31.160 There's not one thing I have left to say.

01:34:33.460 Nothing left.

01:34:34.140 You really heard it all.

01:34:35.460 So.

01:34:35.560 It's just, do you ever feel that way?

01:34:37.340 Like, I've already said it all.

01:34:39.080 Yeah.

01:34:39.420 I already said about, uh.

01:34:40.660 I said absolutely.

01:34:41.200 Like, like, 2005.

01:34:43.720 I feel that way.

01:34:44.580 And then yet, the next day, there's some story.

01:34:46.900 You get up and you're like, I don't believe.

01:34:48.560 And you're excited about it.

01:34:49.060 But there's, I don't know.

01:34:50.680 Other than the Israel thing, there hasn't been much new material lately.

01:34:58.120 I'm really bored of podcasts.

01:34:58.960 Are you reading the same sources I'm reading?

01:35:01.820 Because, uh.

01:35:03.160 I don't know.

01:35:03.900 Well, I, I, did I care about, though?

01:35:06.040 Well, CNN spent all last night speculating on why Paul Ryan tweeted his, his feel-good wishes

01:35:14.560 to Melania before Donald Trump did.

01:35:17.620 Uh, because that was, that's, that's telling about their relationship.

01:35:20.900 Why would Paul Ryan do it first?

01:35:22.700 My wife would break my fingers if, on the day she was having surgery, I tweeted to her.

01:35:28.760 Yeah, right.

01:35:29.280 For her.

01:35:29.680 You know, it's funny.

01:35:30.620 It's the same thing.

01:35:31.420 My, uh, Mother's Day was going on.

01:35:33.300 Uh, you guys may have heard of this.

01:35:34.820 Uh, it's also my wife's birthday this week.

01:35:37.900 Oh.

01:35:38.220 And she mentioned to me at one point, you know, I've noticed a lot of other people posting

01:35:42.180 really nice tributes to, to their wives about being a mom.

01:35:46.880 Mm-hmm.

01:35:47.320 You know, she, she was like running down and reading them and she's like, why don't, how

01:35:51.220 come you never do that?

01:35:52.340 And I thought to myself, I, like, never does it cross my mind to put a Twitter tribute.

01:35:57.140 It doesn't seem like a stew thing.

01:35:58.320 Right.

01:35:58.620 Like, I, like, I might, I have a relationship with social media that I want to have with

01:36:03.260 like Ebola, which is like, never be near it.

01:36:06.280 But like, I have, it's part of my world and I have no choice, but it's like, I, like, this

01:36:12.180 happens all the time when somebody dies.

01:36:13.560 Like right now, uh, author died, uh, Tom Wolfe, uh, Bonfire of the Vanities among other

01:36:19.940 books, famous, very famous author.

01:36:21.640 And there's, everybody's posting their tributes to him and saying all these amazing things

01:36:25.680 and all the books they remember reading, all their experiences reading his books.

01:36:28.440 And like, I just never think that's a, that's how, that's what I want to do.

01:36:32.740 Like, I never, I'm like, Oh God, there's a hurricane and you know, people died in X area.

01:36:37.200 Like, I never think, you know, I got a tweet.

01:36:38.880 Wow.

01:36:39.260 My heart felt appalling.

01:36:40.980 I feel terrible.

01:36:42.060 The condolences to the person that got hit by that log that flew through the air at 300

01:36:46.580 miles an hour.

01:36:47.220 Like, never do I feel like that's an appropriate gesture.

01:36:49.980 Like, it just seems like it trivializes it.

01:36:52.680 And that's probably because I, I'm like, I have an 89 year old mind and I guess I don't

01:36:57.980 put the appropriate, uh, emphasis on social media that everybody else in our society does.

01:37:03.040 No, I, you know, I wanted to mention, you know, uh, the kidney procedure, but I don't

01:37:08.340 think it's, I mean, you know, our thoughts and prayers are with the first lady.

01:37:13.960 But aren't thoughts and prayers the thing that matters there?

01:37:16.780 The tweet about the thoughts and prayers doesn't matter.

01:37:20.100 I agree with you.

01:37:20.580 Right?

01:37:20.900 Like you should be praying for Melania Trump.

01:37:23.160 You should.

01:37:24.060 I mean, she's the first lady of the United States and we all wish, hope that she's doing

01:37:27.940 really well.

01:37:29.320 And same thing, Harry Reid has pancreatic cancer.

01:37:32.080 It looks like, and you absolutely praying for Harry Reid to get better.

01:37:35.300 Absolutely. 0.88

01:37:35.820 Even though I think every one of his policies was garbage, you know, I'm rooting for the 0.68

01:37:39.960 guy to do well, but me tweeting about that does zilch. 0.54

01:37:43.260 It's a giant zero in the, in the, in the grand scheme of things, isn't it?

01:37:47.440 Yes.

01:37:48.000 So happy Mother's Day.

01:37:48.860 Well, I, I tweeted about Pat's kidney surgery.

01:37:51.820 I didn't.

01:37:53.220 I love Pat.

01:37:54.640 I love the man.

01:37:55.880 And he didn't tweet about my surgery.

01:37:56.900 And I did not tweet about his surgery.

01:37:58.160 Well, I did.

01:37:58.940 So others would, would know and, and, and pray.

01:38:02.760 That was nice.

01:38:03.740 Thank you.

01:38:04.000 Right.

01:38:04.540 Thank you.

01:38:05.120 Stu doesn't care.

01:38:06.200 If they cared, they'd know.

01:38:08.060 No, Jesus.

01:38:09.960 They truly cared.

01:38:12.000 They'd know.

01:38:14.240 So, you know, I started this earlier.

01:38:16.820 There is a new algorithm out that says that they can find the most, the, the, the most

01:38:23.580 perfect song ever written for humans.

01:38:26.840 Being able to, to run this algorithm.

01:38:29.520 Can you get, can you go out and find what is the song that is the greatest song ever written?

01:38:38.380 You know, because people are just like, I, you know, I just really like that song.

01:38:41.680 I don't even know why.

01:38:42.740 I just like that song.

01:38:44.720 Stairway to heaven.

01:38:45.500 No.

01:38:46.780 Freebird.

01:38:47.240 I thought it was always, it doesn't have to be one of those.

01:38:49.500 It has to be stairway to heaven or free bird.

01:38:51.000 Or Hey Jude.

01:38:52.060 Or Bohemian Rhapsody.

01:38:54.240 That's your list.

01:38:55.220 Yeah.

01:38:55.540 Well, that's, no, that's everybody's list.

01:38:57.420 I mean, how many times have we done research at radio stations?

01:39:00.980 Those always come up.

01:39:02.020 But they always.

01:39:02.960 Every time.

01:39:03.340 Yeah.

01:39:03.460 But there's always a Beatles thrown in there as well.

01:39:07.660 Yeah.

01:39:07.980 Hey Jude.

01:39:08.580 Yeah.

01:39:08.980 Always.

01:39:09.480 Or let it be.

01:39:10.260 Yeah.

01:39:11.520 It's not.

01:39:12.060 But it's none of those.

01:39:12.740 It's none of those.

01:39:13.420 More than a feeling by Boston.

01:39:14.380 No.

01:39:15.320 You're never.

01:39:16.140 Isn't it time by the babies?

01:39:17.480 No.

01:39:18.640 Do you know what it is?

01:39:19.500 I have no idea.

01:39:20.080 It must be a stand.

01:39:20.740 Is it a standard?

01:39:22.140 Nope.

01:39:22.700 Oh, it's not?

01:39:23.280 Nope.

01:39:23.740 Is it, is it classic rock?

01:39:27.200 Kind of ish.

01:39:28.860 Like pop?

01:39:30.260 Yeah.

01:39:30.560 From the past?

01:39:31.340 Yeah.

01:39:32.460 Barry Manilow, Oh Mandy.

01:39:33.680 No.

01:39:34.760 No.

01:39:35.580 Pleasing.

01:39:35.980 Well, an algorithm might believe it's pleasing.

01:39:40.040 What do you think it is, Stu?

01:39:41.280 I legitimately do have no idea.

01:39:42.960 Have any guess?

01:39:43.560 I mean, I would have guessed something like, you know, like a standard, like a Frank Sinatra

01:39:46.700 type of thing.

01:39:47.460 Yeah.

01:39:47.760 Right.

01:39:48.300 Fly Me to the Moon would be a good choice.

01:39:49.880 You ready for this?

01:39:51.560 Yeah.

01:39:53.940 Africa by Toto.

01:39:55.340 Oh, geez.

01:39:55.980 Oh.

01:39:56.920 That is not a pleasing song.

01:39:58.940 I hate that.

01:39:59.820 I love Toto, but man, that's one of their worst songs.

01:40:02.860 My son, I come home and my son on Apple Eye, Toto.

01:40:05.980 Tunes is listening to Africa the other day, and I'm like, what the hell are you doing?

01:40:11.440 And he said, oh, it's just a great song, Dad, by Toto.

01:40:17.200 And I said, no, Toto has some good songs.

01:40:19.840 That's not one of them.

01:40:21.400 That had to be one of their, they had two really big songs in the 80s that I really remember,

01:40:26.380 which was Africa, and there was one other one.

01:40:28.860 Rosanna?

01:40:29.320 It had to be Rosanna.

01:40:30.860 That's totally it.

01:40:32.000 No, I know they had a lot of songs.

01:40:33.020 But they're good stuff.

01:40:33.600 Hold the Line.

01:40:34.520 Hold the Line, okay.

01:40:35.300 Is there more?

01:40:37.220 Hold the Line.

01:40:37.640 Hold the Line.

01:40:38.440 They got to three.

01:40:39.520 I don't think I would go any deeper.

01:40:40.460 No, they had a few mid-charters there.

01:40:42.780 Yeah, they had quite a few.

01:40:43.580 But the big ones were Africa and Rosanna. 0.66

01:40:47.640 But Africa was, I think, number one for like half a year.

01:40:51.520 It was a huge song.

01:40:52.800 It was a huge song.

01:40:54.340 What is it about?

01:40:55.460 And obnoxious.

01:40:56.000 They're casting rain down Africa. 1.00

01:40:57.540 It's about Africa. 0.53

01:40:58.960 It's about Africa and the rain.

01:41:00.380 The song about drought is the perfect song?

01:41:02.700 I don't have any idea.

01:41:03.880 Did they come up with an alternative?

01:41:05.680 Is there like a number two?

01:41:06.800 No, that was it.

01:41:07.380 That was it.

01:41:08.180 Just the one song?

01:41:08.680 Just the one.

01:41:09.520 Okay.

01:41:09.880 That's a computer I don't listen to.

01:41:11.900 It's a computer that's like, oh, and by the way, let me tell you where you should put

01:41:16.380 your money. 0.99

01:41:17.000 Shut up. 1.00

01:41:17.620 I don't. 1.00

01:41:18.040 I don't.

01:41:18.600 Nope.

01:41:20.020 Here's what you should do this weekend.

01:41:21.660 Nope.

01:41:22.180 That tells you why I don't like most of the songs my algorithm plays for me on Pandora.

01:41:27.180 Really?

01:41:27.580 It doesn't get you right?

01:41:28.300 Because algorithms don't know my.

01:41:28.780 Not really.

01:41:29.580 No.

01:41:30.740 Yeah.

01:41:31.140 I've noticed that there's a.

01:41:31.960 It starts throwing in Bob Dylan and, you know, stuff I absolutely despise.

01:41:36.560 But do you, but do you.

01:41:38.060 But that isn't down.

01:41:39.480 Yes.

01:41:40.060 I make sure that I give thumbs down to it.

01:41:43.520 And then I get some other crappy song I don't like.

01:41:46.980 I, it doesn't work that well for me.

01:41:48.540 No, but yeah, because you only like, like a certain.

01:41:51.880 Yes.

01:41:52.260 A certain.

01:41:53.000 That's true.

01:41:53.300 Not a genre.

01:41:54.220 Just a certain number of songs in that genre.

01:41:57.300 Yes.

01:41:57.900 You know.

01:41:58.240 Yes.

01:41:58.660 That is true.

01:41:59.140 You're not willing to expand.

01:42:00.480 You're not willing to.

01:42:01.420 Hey, have you heard something new?

01:42:02.860 Nope.

01:42:03.340 Nope.

01:42:03.940 Not interested.

01:42:05.760 So wait.

01:42:06.520 So is the guy in Africa, he just, he's singing about Africa.

01:42:10.300 He's saying he wants to stay in Africa.

01:42:13.180 Is that what.

01:42:14.200 I.

01:42:14.560 I.

01:42:15.060 It's going to take a lot.

01:42:15.640 I'll tell you, I played that, I played that song probably 25,000 times.

01:42:21.260 Right.

01:42:21.560 And I could not tell you what it was about.

01:42:23.500 Right.

01:42:23.660 Did not tell you a single lyric.

01:42:24.940 It's going to take a lot.

01:42:25.960 Except the rain come down in Africa.

01:42:27.300 It's going to take a lot to drag me away from you.

01:42:29.400 There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.

01:42:31.640 I used to think it was when I was a kid, I used to, there's nothing that a hundred

01:42:34.800 men on Mars could ever do.

01:42:36.200 I don't know why I thought it was that, but I was like, wow, why would they be?

01:42:40.480 I bless the rains down in Africa. 0.81

01:42:42.440 Going to do some, going to take some time to do the things we never had. 1.00

01:42:46.840 It's a stupid song. 1.00

01:42:47.780 That's a stupid song. 1.00

01:42:48.660 It's a stupid song. 1.00

01:42:48.960 This is a dumb computer. 1.00

01:42:50.860 Your algorithm sucks. 1.00

01:42:52.660 It's not my algorithm. 1.00

01:42:53.900 Don't blame me.

01:42:54.960 Don't blame me.

01:42:56.520 It's.

01:42:57.160 What is this song about?

01:42:59.320 I don't know.

01:43:00.420 The wild dogs cry out in the night as they grow restless, longing from some solitary company.

01:43:06.000 I know that I must do what's right.

01:43:07.840 As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

01:43:12.640 I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing I've become.

01:43:16.900 What the hell is this song about?

01:43:18.940 I don't know.

01:43:19.920 I thought it was a nice little song about rain.

01:43:21.720 It doesn't seem like it at all.

01:43:24.820 The number one song of all time is about weather.

01:43:27.840 The number two, it's raining men. 1.00

01:43:29.840 And not even weather on the continent that plays that stupid song the most. 1.00

01:43:35.640 No. 1.00

01:43:36.300 Why are we tortured?

01:43:37.680 What did we do to you?

01:43:39.620 Oh, now I remember.

01:43:40.780 We did do something terrible to them.

01:43:42.300 Yeah, now I remember.

01:43:43.560 Okay, now I understand.

01:43:44.860 Now you got it.

01:43:45.300 Now I got it.

01:43:46.000 Okay, now I do remember.

01:43:46.660 I'm frightened by the man that I become.

01:43:49.460 Rounding people up and putting them on a ship.

01:43:51.360 Okay, now it's coming back to me.

01:43:52.700 The microaggression might have not been so micro there on that one.

01:45:11.160 Glenn Beck.

01:45:12.740 I think we have, I think I've diagnosed something here, and Stu, I think he is either dying of some horrible disease,

01:45:19.940 or he is going through the beginnings of his midlife crisis.

01:45:23.820 Wow, two for two.

01:45:24.520 Congratulations.

01:45:25.400 Yes.

01:45:27.080 No, I don't think I'm dying from anything, and I don't think I'm going into a midlife crisis.

01:45:30.380 I'm not worried about the things I was just discussing.

01:45:33.300 Yeah.

01:45:33.540 Well, it started from the Twitter rant I just went on about how people are now tweeting about this author, Tom Wolfe, who died.

01:45:40.340 And you know what they're not going to be doing tonight?

01:45:42.280 Tweeting about that guy.

01:45:43.500 It's going to last for the next hour.

01:45:45.180 This guy with this amazing career of like a hundred huge bestsellers that have influenced tons of people.

01:45:51.180 And people will tweet about it for about the next half hour, and then it'll be over, and that's it.

01:45:56.440 I was listening to a radio show yesterday, and they did an interview, about a 10-minute interview, about the career of Chuck Knox.

01:46:01.900 Now, Gled, as a guy who doesn't care about sports, you don't know, but Chuck Knox is a legendary coach.

01:46:08.060 Hall of Famer, one of the best coaches of all time.

01:46:10.560 Defined an era of NFL football.

01:46:13.000 And it was about a 10-minute interview going back over his entire life.

01:46:17.080 And it felt pretty much like a throw-in because the guy died, and you've got to talk about the guy.

01:46:21.920 And then it's over.

01:46:23.500 And that's it.

01:46:24.700 And if so, if you're great, if you do everything amazingly well, if you're the top of your field for a generation,

01:46:30.920 you might get that 10-minute interview the day after you die.

01:46:33.880 Or if you just happen to be standing around greatness.

01:46:37.060 For instance, Margot Kidder.

01:46:38.660 She was not great.

01:46:40.440 No.

01:46:40.620 She just happened to be standing next to a movie that also wasn't great.

01:46:45.000 Right.

01:46:45.400 But Christopher Reeve, who was also not great, but was thrown from a horse and was paralyzed,

01:46:52.080 and therefore we had his moment of greatness exposed.

01:46:57.540 She was around that.

01:46:59.180 And so she got her fame yesterday.

01:47:02.660 We can mock Margot Kidder.

01:47:04.440 I'm not mocking her.

01:47:04.960 I know you're not.

01:47:05.580 But I think you're right in your analysis of her.

01:47:08.000 She was not a great actress.

01:47:09.040 Did not have an amazing career outside of Superman.

01:47:11.140 No, but she was good in that. 0.98

01:47:13.920 And then later, I always felt bad for her because she went nuts, didn't she?

01:47:17.940 Yeah, she had a really rough time.

01:47:19.260 Really rough time.

01:47:20.560 Yeah, real depression issues and went crazy and kind of came to the point of saying,

01:47:24.180 you know what, I'm glad I went crazy in public because it helped me cure it.

01:47:27.040 Like, she has an interesting story that fills a tweet or two.

01:47:31.480 And it's one of those things where Margot Kidder, you could say, oh, well, Margot Kidder.

01:47:35.540 I mean, she was in one classic, you know, series of movies that were, two of which were absolutely horrible.

01:47:43.720 Superman 3 and Superman 4.

01:47:45.540 Superman 2, when you go back in, it doesn't really stand up even though I loved Zod as a kid.

01:47:49.600 I loved that movie.

01:47:50.720 I thought it was a great, you know, movie.

01:47:52.200 But you watch it back, it's very uneven and bizarre.

01:47:54.860 Bottom line, though, is that puts Margot Kidder in what? 1.00

01:47:59.140 The top 0.4% of her field?

01:48:02.760 Right?

01:48:03.200 Like, the fact that we know who she is decades after she's done really anything?

01:48:07.640 She was an incredible achiever.

01:48:10.460 This is like one of the best actresses, as far as success goes, of all time.

01:48:17.840 People go, you think of this, I'm like, oh, I barely even remember.

01:48:20.980 What are you talking about?

01:48:21.500 She didn't do anything else.

01:48:22.480 Well, she did something. 0.98

01:48:23.440 Most people go into that field and do nothing.

01:48:25.760 Now, think about the people that are politically on the other side.

01:48:30.120 Because you'll be erased.

01:48:31.860 Absolutely.

01:48:32.500 Be erased.

01:48:33.060 Like, if you're lucky, Glenn Beck, right?

01:48:35.580 Like, you're a person who's had serious influence.

01:48:38.440 There's no reason to go down this road with me.

01:48:40.720 And think about me.

01:48:42.460 I'm the guy standing next to you.

01:48:44.900 They're going to be like, you know, he worked for that guy you barely remember.

01:48:47.860 That's my old bit.

01:48:49.320 And so, my point here is not to think, oh, God, it's all meaningless.

01:48:55.240 It's to think that your legacy is not what you should be focusing on.

01:48:59.780 Because even, look at, look, Harry Reid is a good example.

01:49:02.640 Think of how influential Harry Reid has been in our world.

01:49:06.480 This is a guy, and I think all negatively, right?

01:49:08.800 To me.

01:49:09.480 I think he's been, was a terrible senator and did a million terrible things in office.

01:49:14.340 Right?

01:49:14.820 The guy was in office.

01:49:16.240 He was a central focus of the news and talk shows.

01:49:21.300 And changing the fabric of America.

01:49:23.180 The fabric of America.

01:49:24.560 And again, you either think that's really good or really bad.

01:49:26.680 But you have to acknowledge his influence.

01:49:28.660 Yes.

01:49:29.120 And here's a guy who left office.

01:49:31.720 He just walked out.

01:49:34.120 He just left office really recently.

01:49:37.920 And here he is with pancreatic cancer going on right now.

01:49:41.300 And people are like, oh, man, I mean, rightly so.

01:49:44.660 I feel terrible about him.

01:49:45.720 But it's a tweet about it.

01:49:46.640 You feel terrible about him.

01:49:47.640 And people will, when he passes on, God forbid, will acknowledge his influence for a couple of days.

01:49:53.500 And that will be it.

01:49:54.660 And he's probably spent the last two decades focusing on his legacy and what he's left.

01:49:59.100 I don't think that he will get two days.

01:50:02.640 John McCain will.

01:50:04.820 John McCain will.

01:50:06.080 Yes.

01:50:07.080 I don't know Harry Reid will.

01:50:08.860 It's an amazing.

01:50:09.460 John McCain will because of Reagan, standing next to Reagan, and being who he was in Vietnam.

01:50:14.840 Well, and McCain's amazing, too, because now the media is like this.

01:50:18.500 How Donald Trump has this.

01:50:20.680 The people in his office, they won't apologize for this crude joke.

01:50:23.840 And it's been a now what a week long story.

01:50:25.620 And it's about this joke that someone.

01:50:27.780 It wasn't a joke.

01:50:28.500 I didn't seem like a joke.

01:50:29.960 I just felt like, you know, someone said something that looked what may have been inappropriate and it was leaked out.

01:50:34.220 And that so it goes back and forth and back and forth.

01:50:36.240 And now the media is like, well, this is the most amazing man we've ever had in the world of politics.

01:50:40.880 Where was this analysis in 2008?

01:50:43.600 He was the same guy. 0.95

01:50:45.000 Back in 2008, you thought he was the worst racist hate monger that ever existed. 0.92

01:50:50.540 The point is, all this means nothing. 0.92

01:50:51.920 You should care about your family.

01:50:53.500 You should care about things that actually matter to you.

01:50:55.720 Because when you think about your legacy and who's going to be tweeting you after you die, you get a little depressed.

01:50:59.960 I don't know if I'll be here tomorrow, but thanks for listening.

01:51:02.760 Back, Mercury.
