The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:09.480
I would ask that you would say a silent prayer for me to be able to control myself today.
00:00:22.000
You know, there are days when your mother's words come to mind.
00:00:30.000
If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
00:00:36.640
Well, that would leave about three hours of very expensive airtime sounding like this.
00:01:12.200
I think we can all agree, or can we, both left and right, that children are being caught up in an illegal immigration situation that is awful.
00:01:26.420
If you can't agree with that now, you should check your card to see if you are a current member of the human race.
00:01:39.760
Apparently, however, no one who is upset about the situation can agree on when it made them angry or upset when they suddenly realized that this was a problem.
00:01:59.040
You see, this weekend, it suddenly, even a little magically, began to matter to those on the left.
00:02:08.680
Seemingly out of nowhere, they all collectively realized together, simultaneously, that this was a problem.
00:02:22.620
Trump, then, last night, Rachel Maddow said this.
00:02:33.840
This has just come out from the Associated Press.
00:02:39.920
Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children.
00:03:16.160
And I am going to do something for her that her and her friends never did for me.
00:03:28.160
Rachel, I believe you were caught up in emotion last night because you love your country.
00:03:43.480
You're worried about the direction we're going in.
00:03:51.740
So, I will give you a pass for being emotional on television.
00:04:08.540
Where was your outrage and emotion back in 2014?
00:04:14.640
Because the same situation that is going on today is exactly the same stuff that you, Rachel, and the rest of the left have only suddenly just now become woke on.
00:04:40.340
Now, if you want to say, well, Glenn, somehow or another, it escaped the entire NBC newsroom back in 2014.
00:04:56.620
And because I am an intelligent journalist, I will do my homework.
00:05:03.280
And it's not really hard to look back in time and see.
00:05:17.940
And there were those on the right, like me, that was there begging people like you to cover what was going on.
00:05:30.840
Now, if you want to say, Glenn, I didn't care then.
00:05:34.860
But it wasn't because I didn't care about the kids or I was just trying to protect my side.
00:05:43.260
Or I will even give you, I was protecting my side and I was wrong.
00:05:59.760
And try to get everybody to believe that it is the evil Donald Trump.
00:06:03.740
Your crocodile tears, which I happen to believe are true.
00:06:08.680
But they become crocodile tears if you don't look at the whole truth.
00:06:15.800
Donald Trump could walk out on the street today and get hit by a bus, God forbid.
00:06:20.280
And if he were hit by a bus, this situation would not change.
00:06:24.800
And it's not because of evil Mike Pence would then be in.
00:06:28.120
You could take Hillary Clinton and walk her into the White House, sit her behind the chair,
00:06:36.480
Now, if you want to be an adult and we'll have an adult conversation, let's have one.
00:06:47.540
It was left up to people like me, who people like you called a conspiracy theorist,
00:06:53.400
when we said the president was keeping children in cages.
00:06:57.540
Because we had the photographic proof, but that wasn't enough for you.
00:07:14.440
They've been used as pawns for as long as we can remember.
00:07:19.540
And for those at Breitbart, don't think that the American people don't see you.
00:07:35.500
They don't see that you mocked me for having compassion at the time.
00:07:40.420
You mocked me for bringing soccer balls only to now report that how can this be so bad?
00:07:48.480
Because President Trump is in charge, and now they, and I'm quoting you,
00:07:57.560
Please, dear God, please, dear God, restrain my tongue today.
00:08:26.200
it will be worse and even more important tomorrow.
00:08:55.020
Rachel Maddow opened her show with a riveting monologue
00:08:58.080
about how President Obama was hosting the World Cup Viewing Party.
00:09:05.720
July 2nd, Maddow acknowledged kids are on the border,
00:09:09.720
but she references health and human services briefly
00:09:13.300
and then rushes through to what actually happens to these kids.
00:09:21.360
that states where kids are taken after they arrive.
00:09:29.360
Now, let's see if there is any difference here.
00:09:43.500
You can't say that it is Congress that is failing to act.
00:09:53.100
you of course would have said that Congress needed to act.
00:10:10.660
On July 7th, her top story was something on the Koch brothers.
00:10:14.680
Immigration was only briefly mentioned at the end of the show.
00:10:28.720
Did she mention the kids on the border for the rest of the month?
00:10:43.120
because you've been caught in the middle of a broken immigration system?
00:11:08.360
This is just nothing more than a political stunt
00:36:20.060
i'm sure he believes we should just let people come across the border
00:36:32.580
and that we should not be separating kids from their parents or as we pointed
00:36:40.340
out in 2014 siblings from one another leaving them entirely alone it's wrong
00:37:00.240
well welcome to welcome to america welcome to being human in 2018
00:37:08.160
may i may i give you a question that we all need to chew chew on today
00:37:22.680
and no longer your father but now one of your mothers
00:37:26.820
yes father's day was four years four days ago but uh the story is just weird
00:37:35.920
um one enjoyable line to read was this gem from the hollywood gossip
00:37:46.640
but she is and also always will be the father of her six children
00:37:51.400
now imagine reading that to someone 10 even five years ago
00:37:59.400
but the strangeness of it having ever been written
00:38:04.300
kind of overpowers the emotional impact it might bring
00:38:12.400
under the pre-transition pictures of bruce jenner
00:38:30.180
by the you know mere hint of even having mentioned this story
00:38:34.020
but the important element is the cultural sway that happens to be occurring
00:38:39.000
the original story was that a band of disgruntled twitter users got outraged
00:38:45.320
by the supposed transphobic remarks of jenner's daughter
00:39:02.900
who cares what some anonymous twitter user has to say
00:39:08.140
when are we going to stop playing into the hands of the twitter mob
00:39:19.700
they have a nifty little relationship with the mainstream media
00:39:23.560
one or two twitter users get outraged by any given thing
00:39:44.860
that there is some kind of systematic justice at play
00:39:52.300
where the negative feedback loop of proof and evidence
00:40:47.360
because he was accused of doing something terrible
00:57:49.960
if you need to sell your house fast and for the most money
01:45:28.900
training me to be docile on my the oppression of
01:45:34.160
their no movie opinion when I ask shows me they
01:45:39.300
don't care about my opinion when I'm asked so I can
01:45:43.660
no longer give my opinion on if you ask I don't I
01:45:47.940
didn't follow that but it sounds well it doesn't it is
01:45:50.200
is no the good thing is in 2018 it is no longer
01:46:07.760
bit I believe some of the losses from yesterday
01:46:09.680
let's see we can we can find that number here for
01:46:15.060
what do you hear about Starbucks oh Starbucks has
01:46:19.660
weaker than expected sales they're expected now to
01:46:22.840
close 100 stores for more than an afternoon oh no
01:46:26.380
by the way back has bounced back to the negative
01:46:29.500
down another 50 points okay for the doubt well here's
01:46:33.480
one US Treasury Department for April April published
01:46:39.720
forty seven point four billion dollars out of the
01:46:42.860
ninety six point one it is held as Treasury bonds
01:46:46.240
Moscow cut its Treasury holdings by one point six
01:46:49.980
billion in February reduced it by nine and it is
01:46:53.780
continued to do so tariff wars unleashed by Washington
01:46:58.520
has stirred fears that financial markets may be in for
01:47:01.080
a rough ride with American Treasuries dumped by each
01:47:04.440
of our big partners including such major holders as
01:47:12.720
worry about it if we don't stop this nonsense with the
01:47:19.800
trade wars it's going to end the way it always ends
01:47:22.820
and it was Smoot Hawley that changed everything for the
01:47:28.720
Great Depression that was a trade war we've seen the
01:47:32.400
volatility we have seen people panic look at the
01:47:36.020
stock market over the last six days down again today it's
01:47:38.640

people worried about rising inflation the one investment that
01:47:45.980
thrives in inflation is gold as the dollar becomes worth less
01:47:51.060
and less because it's going to happen because how do we

cripple other countries economies and then expect them to buy
01:48:00.060
our loans because we are still spending one trillion dollars
01:48:05.840
