00:00:23.040 Take control of your tax problems now by calling the experts at Tax Mediation Services at 800-600-1645.

00:00:34.980 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:37.280 We are awaiting the Jeff Sessions confirmation hearings,

00:00:41.220 where, of course, we're going to find out that Jeff Sessions, sometime in the 1980s,

00:00:45.980 they found something that he did wrong sometime before the 1980s.

00:00:50.980 If we don't care about a current FBI investigation,

00:00:54.780 why should I care about something they unearthed in the 1980s?

00:01:00.820 Interested to watch the Sessions confirmation hearings?

00:01:04.220 We'll have that for you.

00:01:05.960 Also, did you know that now you could get a $128 fine if you go out and start your car to warm it up?

00:01:15.440 On your property, in your driveway, your car.

00:01:21.560 Yes, because some cities now are worried about insurance rates for all the people in the neighborhood.

00:01:28.760 Oh.

00:01:30.400 A little overstep?

00:01:32.100 I think so.

00:01:33.360 We start there right now.

00:01:34.580 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:56.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:04.580 Taylor Trapano says he's still shaking his head over a parking ticket he got on his own property.

00:02:12.520 Quote,

00:02:13.160 I thought it was some kind of joke at first, then I was thrown back by it a bit.

00:02:17.020 I was really surprised.

00:02:18.660 The ticket was for leaving the keys in the ignition with the motor running and no one around.

00:02:25.120 He said he was only doing something that he thought everybody does in Michigan during the winter.

00:02:30.720 I was in and out probably seven to eight minutes.

00:02:35.660 So in about that amount of time, the cop ran up here, gave me a ticket.

00:02:40.760 By the time I got out, he was nowhere to be seen.

00:02:44.200 Frustrated with the ticket, he posted it on Facebook where he racked up thousands of comments and shares.

00:02:48.160 Roseville Police Department ticket comes with a $128 fine.

00:02:51.020 There's no state law against leaving your car turned on and unattended, but dozens of cities across Michigan have local ordinances.

00:02:59.080 We have five to ten cars stolen this way every winter, said the Roseville Police Chief.

00:03:03.760 It's dangerous.

00:03:05.960 And of course, it drives everybody's insurance rates up.

00:03:08.520 It drives our crime rates up.

00:03:11.540 It also defrosts the ice for me on the window.

00:03:15.460 Oh, yeah.

00:03:16.040 It also, it's my house.

00:03:17.880 It's my car.

00:03:18.740 It's my house, my driveway.

00:03:21.460 None of your business.

00:03:22.500 Get the hell off of my property.

00:03:24.560 Yeah.

00:03:24.900 And that might be something for the insurance companies to recommend.

00:03:29.480 Or even tell you you're not supposed to do.

00:03:31.700 Or raise the rates.

00:03:33.420 Or whatever.

00:03:33.980 Or if it's really such a problem, then the insurance companies can say, we're going to give you an automatic car starter.

00:03:42.260 Or go buy one and we'll give you a discount on your insurance rates.

00:03:47.200 Because the problem is the key.

00:03:49.340 He had the key.

00:03:50.420 It's not against the law if you have an automatic car starter.

00:03:53.660 So if you go to the window and start it without the key, then it's not a problem.

00:03:57.380 I don't know.

00:03:57.700 Maybe Roseville Police could, I don't know, up their police officers through the neighborhoods.

00:04:04.580 Keep an eye on people stealing things.

00:04:06.140 Well, they are.

00:04:06.380 They're just doing it to place tickets, apparently.

00:04:08.140 Right.

00:04:08.580 Unbelievable.

00:04:09.020 Instead of catch the criminals.

00:04:10.340 Unbelievable.

00:04:10.700 Five a year?

00:04:13.160 You're going to fine people for five cars stolen per year?

00:04:18.940 That makes everybody's insurance rates go up.

00:04:21.960 And it makes our crime rate go up.

00:04:25.600 I mean, crime rate is not something.

00:04:27.160 Like, I mean, they act as if crime rate is a thing.

00:04:30.340 I mean, it's a measure of what's happening.

00:04:33.160 If, you know, yes, there might be an increase in your crime rate over five cars.

00:04:36.620 However, to fine hundreds of citizens for doing something innocuous.

00:04:43.860 Over five cars being stolen?

00:04:44.420 Right.

00:04:44.760 We're the most overreactive society maybe in the history of the planet.

00:04:48.120 We are the biggest, because we are the helicopter parents that run in to save our children from any little boo-boo.

00:04:55.680 And so now, when we're not busy with our children in class, we're busy with somebody else and treating them like a child.

00:05:02.440 I have to tell you, if I were this guy, I'd lose my mind.

00:05:08.320 I'd lose my mind.

00:05:11.140 That really is infuriating.

00:05:12.900 I mean, and not to mention that there's an actual, I mean, you don't do it just for comfort.

00:05:18.580 I mean, like, you know, if your car is cold, like, you want to make sure it's running properly.

00:05:23.040 Like, there's some benefits to it.

00:05:25.080 Not to mention going out in the middle of the freezing cold in Michigan, as I'm sure Jeffy can attest.

00:05:28.880 Not to mention the safety of clearing the windows.

00:05:31.940 It takes, you can chip it off all you want, but unless the car is warm and the windows are warm,

00:05:39.600 it's, you'll have just your breath on really cold days will fog that window up because the glass is so cold.

00:05:48.120 And it could re-ice as you're driving, which could cause a car accident.

00:05:51.220 I mean, this is crazy.

00:05:52.420 It's so stupid.

00:05:53.980 Crazy.

00:05:54.440 And let's be honest, none of these reasons are the reasons why they're fighting people.

00:05:58.440 They're fighting people because they want the money.

00:06:00.800 They've come up with a justification to suck more money from people.

00:06:04.820 That's not entirely true.

00:06:05.960 Yeah, in this case it is.

00:06:07.140 It might be.

00:06:07.780 It might be.

00:06:08.700 But in other cases, you heard the lady yesterday who was the blog person that you read, the leftist who's like,

00:06:17.140 we're not going to live in your crappy cities until you start voting progressives in, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:21.540 Well, their idea is that they can manage absolutely everything.

00:06:25.620 So it might be just a progressive city that thinks that they can fix absolutely every problem in everybody's life.

00:06:32.080 Remember New Canaan?

00:06:33.900 When I tried to build the fence around my house.

00:06:37.420 In a town in Connecticut.

00:06:38.720 Yeah.

00:06:38.980 And they told me literally everybody has a fence.

00:06:42.460 You drive down my street.

00:06:43.680 Remember that?

00:06:44.160 Everybody has these stone walls because they're all old houses.

00:06:47.240 And I'm sure they all voted for the guy who wanted to build the wall too.

00:06:49.840 Right.

00:06:50.440 Yeah.

00:06:50.980 So I want to build a wall, a stone wall around my house.

00:06:56.880 They said no.

00:06:58.620 Too close to the road.

00:07:00.140 And I'm like, no, it's as close to the road as all of theirs.

00:07:02.640 Well, there's new ordinances.

00:07:04.800 You can't build it.

00:07:06.120 And so they told me, with a straight face,

00:07:09.680 they told me that I could build that wall exactly the way I wanted it,

00:07:14.640 but it would be five feet from my front door,

00:07:18.540 and it would cross the center of my swimming pool.

00:07:23.800 That's it, though.

00:07:24.580 But that's it.

00:07:25.480 But, I mean, so if you don't, you'll have a private pool and a public pool.

00:07:29.940 You could put a big, beautiful door in your pool wall where you can open it as you swim

00:07:36.780 and you can swim the rest of the way.

00:07:38.220 Right.

00:07:38.780 That would have been really good.

00:07:39.620 But that was just people who wanted to control other people's lives.

00:07:43.920 Well, did you guys talk last week about the Philadelphia soda tax going into effect?

00:07:48.540 No.

00:07:48.760 I mean, it's unreal.

00:07:52.520 There was a guy who...

00:07:54.600 We waited for the guy who has so much passion on soda.

00:07:57.100 And Philadelphia and soda.

00:07:59.020 Anything Philadelphia, the Eagles, or soda.

00:08:02.060 This is all of me.

00:08:03.260 So a guy, Chuck Andrews, purchased a gallon jug of iced tea.

00:08:10.020 Okay.

00:08:10.900 Looked at his receipt when he got home.

00:08:12.400 The cost of the tea itself, $1.77.

00:08:19.040 The tax on the tea, new soda tax and sugary beverage tax in Philadelphia, was $1.92.

00:08:26.700 What?

00:08:27.120 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:28.540 So $1.77 for the tea, $1.92 for the tax on the tea.

00:08:33.820 The tax is more than the tea?

00:08:35.320 More than the product.

00:08:36.000 It's time for a Philadelphia tea party.

00:08:39.080 Yeah, wow.

00:08:39.700 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:41.300 But it'll never happen.

00:08:43.320 They'll just take it.

00:08:45.260 People in Philadelphia will just take it.

00:08:47.520 People will start selling gallons of tea out of their trunk coming in from other cities.

00:08:51.820 Can I tell you something?

00:08:53.180 There is a road in Philadelphia called City Line Avenue.

00:08:59.320 And the reason why it's called City Line Avenue is to let everybody know, tax-free on this side of the road, not tax-free on that side.

00:09:09.380 It's true.

00:09:09.920 And it's poverty and wealth.

00:09:12.640 And where were our studios located?

00:09:14.880 On the wealthy side.

00:09:16.660 The tax-free side.

00:09:18.600 Exactly.

00:09:19.020 Because first of all, there's, among other things, a city wage tax.

00:09:22.820 Yes.

00:09:23.060 So you look at one side of the road, and there's a few businesses that are stragglers.

00:09:27.740 And on the other side, it's packed with office buildings.

00:09:29.880 And packed with good office buildings.

00:09:32.140 Yes.

00:09:32.340 Like, they're real jobs.

00:09:34.100 You go away.

00:09:34.820 I remember the house we rented when we first moved to Philadelphia.

00:09:38.100 And I wanted to stay near the studio.

00:09:39.560 So we're by City Line.

00:09:41.540 This is before I know what City Line Avenue is.

00:09:44.140 And I'm going to work.

00:09:47.640 And I'm fine.

00:09:49.560 You know, we're in good neighborhoods, everything else.

00:09:51.820 At one point, my wife said, have you ever taken a right on your way to work?

00:09:57.480 And I said, no, why?

00:09:59.180 And she's like, do some time.

00:10:01.440 I took a right.

00:10:02.280 And literally, within three, four, five blocks, you're in blight.

00:10:08.040 But why?

00:10:10.820 Why?

00:10:11.560 How could you possibly be in blight five blocks away from wealthy neighborhoods?

00:10:18.800 Is there any correlation to City Line Avenue?

00:10:24.240 Yes.

00:10:24.820 Sure.

00:10:25.340 And 60 years of progressive ideas and taxes.

00:10:28.840 It's so clear to most of us that the people in charge.

00:10:33.860 Again, the lady who wrote that blog yesterday.

00:10:37.020 Yeah.

00:10:37.180 She said, you guys keep voting what's, you know, not in your best interest.

00:10:42.200 When you start.

00:10:42.840 Again, she knows what the best interests are.

00:10:44.260 Sure.

00:10:44.700 Correct.

00:10:44.940 Sure.

00:10:45.260 And when you start voting in progressive city council and progressive elected officials,

00:10:51.420 then we might move there.

00:10:53.060 Oh, what a dream that would be.

00:10:54.620 Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington, New York, Newark, New Jersey.

00:10:59.640 I can continue.

00:11:01.460 Miami.

00:11:01.700 Atlantic City.

00:11:03.020 No, thank you.

00:11:03.980 All right.

00:11:04.400 No, thank you.

00:11:04.940 You are the one who are voting in things that are against your best interest.

00:11:10.660 Yeah, absolutely.

00:11:11.700 And it goes to the point where, you know, this is all.

00:11:14.080 It's always about control and money, right?

00:11:16.100 Yeah.

00:11:16.280 And money is a secondary aspect to control, but it results in control.

00:11:22.200 So, I mean, the two are so closely tied.

00:11:24.860 Going back to the soda tax, how many times have we heard this argument for the sugary beverages tax?

00:11:30.060 They always call it that.

00:11:31.040 So that's why, so they don't, it's not just soda.

00:11:32.840 They can tax you with a Kool-Aid and they can tax you on flavored juices and iced tea.

00:11:37.380 But it's always sugary beverage tax.

00:11:40.480 There's no sugar in Lipton Diet Green iced tea.

00:11:44.960 Okay.

00:11:45.220 There's zero sugar in Lipton Diet Green citrus iced tea, which is delicious, by the way.

00:11:49.780 A 12-pack of that particular tea in Philadelphia on December 31st cost $4.99 for a 12-pack.

00:11:58.960 Now, $8.03.

00:12:00.680 That is unbelievable.

00:12:02.140 I mean.

00:12:02.800 Almost doubled.

00:12:03.840 You're going to see.

00:12:04.860 I can guarantee.

00:12:05.360 Is that the same for, like, Coke?

00:12:07.700 I mean, if you buy a Coke, is it going to double the cost?

00:12:10.220 Yeah.

00:12:10.420 I mean, I just said use tea because this is the example in this story.

00:12:13.220 But it's 1.5 cents per ounce.

00:12:15.960 That is madness.

00:12:17.000 When you go to a vending machine and you go to a Coke vending machine, how much is a Coke now?

00:12:24.100 Well, like, for example, a 20-ounce soda, usually $1.88, is now $2.18.

00:12:29.480 So that, 30 cents, because it's 1.5 cents per ounce.

00:12:34.640 So you might say, okay, well, you know, you might not notice necessarily $1.88 to $2.18.

00:12:41.760 You might not notice.

00:12:42.440 It's when you're getting this, you know, going to a grocery store, which is why what a parent would do or what a family would do to save money instead of buying them individually.

00:12:50.740 You buy it in bulk.

00:12:51.680 You buy it in bulk.

00:12:52.640 Or you might buy a gallon of iced tea instead of an individual package or an individual bottle of iced tea, a small one.

00:12:58.800 You might buy a gallon.

00:12:59.820 Well, a gallon is, you know, 64 ounces times 1.5.

00:13:03.420 You're getting into a lot of money, and it winds up being more.

00:13:06.840 So here's my, you remember in New England they call liquor stores package stores?

00:13:12.120 Yeah.

00:13:12.480 Okay.

00:13:13.620 And there are dry counties in Connecticut, and you can't buy alcohol in dry counties.

00:13:21.260 And it happens that way in, is it Utah now?

00:13:26.540 There are dry counties in Utah?

00:13:29.040 I doubt it now.

00:13:30.560 I've lived in places where there are dry counties.

00:13:34.280 You work in one where there's no liquor stores.

00:13:37.540 Here?

00:13:37.920 Yeah.

00:13:38.260 In Irving, where we are, you have to go across the border to the next town to go to a liquor store.

00:13:43.600 And I'll bet you, I haven't seen this, but I will bet you, on that city line of Irving, there are nothing but liquor stores.

00:13:50.500 Absolutely.

00:13:50.820 Is that true?

00:13:51.320 Go down, there's a...

00:13:52.020 You're going to see bulk soda places and sugary tea on City Line Avenue in Pennsylvania.

00:13:59.400 The same thing with cigarettes on certain state lines.

00:14:02.200 You'll go across the state line.

00:14:03.240 There's just cigarette emporiums.

00:14:04.860 How about, I mean, this is how the Native Americans have become wealthy.

00:14:09.620 They sell cigarettes with no income tax.

00:14:14.400 On the reservation.

00:14:15.160 They do everything that is not legal in the United States.

00:14:18.340 Where they locked, you know, my whole Indian nation.

00:14:22.180 What?

00:14:22.700 Put us on that reservation.

00:14:24.220 Yeah.

00:14:25.180 Pat, I think this is...

00:14:25.880 Took away our native tongue.

00:14:27.500 I think this is...

00:14:28.300 Taught our English to our young.

00:14:29.700 Again, I...

00:14:30.320 Really?

00:14:30.880 You know, all the beads we made by hand.

00:14:33.880 Now they're made in Japan.

00:14:34.840 Nowadays, they're made in Japan.

00:14:36.680 Okay, thank you for the...

00:14:37.760 More nowadays.

00:14:38.280 Please, dear Ghana.

00:14:40.360 India.

00:14:41.560 He's the only person that I have ever prayed for selective Alzheimer's.

00:14:47.380 Oh, man.

00:14:48.160 Just to wipe out the music.

00:14:49.680 Wow.

00:14:49.980 Just to wipe out the musical lyrics.

00:14:52.240 But let's not mock anyone.

00:14:54.020 We can pray Alzheimer's on somebody.

00:14:57.500 No, no, no.

00:14:58.400 Selective.

00:14:59.100 Only hitting your musical, lyrical knowledge.

00:15:02.260 We are one time.

00:15:35.240 That's 800-600-1645.

00:15:37.720 800-600-1645.

00:15:39.960 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:43.020 Gary lives in this town in Michigan that is giving out these fines.

00:15:47.060 Gary.

00:15:48.720 Yeah, hey.

00:15:49.420 What is up with your town, dude?

00:15:52.420 Getting a fine for $128 to, because you went out and warmed up your car?

00:15:58.380 Yeah, it's ridiculous.

00:15:59.880 You know, everybody around here does it.

00:16:01.320 We get really bad winters in Michigan.

00:16:03.380 No.

00:16:03.620 You know, and I understand, you know, the whole point of, you know, the car theft thing.

00:16:09.360 It makes sense.

00:16:10.140 But the problem is, is their priorities.

00:16:12.560 They literally put that higher up as priority versus the safety of other people.

00:16:18.000 And I've got a perfect example.

00:16:19.760 Two years ago, I was driving through Roseville on the freeway, and a girl in a car next to me literally changed lanes and drove right into the side of my car because her windows were all fogged up.

00:16:30.940 Obviously, she didn't let her car sit and warm up, and she was in a new car, so it's not like it had an inferior heating system.

00:16:37.360 The car literally, she couldn't see out the windows and drove right into the side of my car in Roseville.

00:16:42.940 She was not given a ticket, and Michigan's a no-fault state, so your insurance pays for your damage.

00:16:48.780 Holy cow.

00:16:49.280 But I'm allowed to, you know, sue her insurance company for a mini-tort claim to cover my deductible.

00:16:55.240 But she had a rinky-dink insurance company in Texas, and since she didn't get a ticket, they refused to pay my deductible.

00:17:00.940 So I got a damaged car and a $1,000 deductible to have it fixed.

00:17:03.940 And the reason for anybody who lives in the South that doesn't understand foggy windows, explain why that makes a difference.

00:17:11.200 What did she not do?

00:17:12.160 Well, I mean, well, for starters, the moisture and the humidity in the air, even when it's cold, it ices up the glass.

00:17:19.440 And your windows are literally covered in glass.

00:17:22.100 And even if you get all the glass scraped and the ice and the snow cleaned off, it's, you know, it's 20 or 10 or 5 or below zero outside, and you get in your car, it's the same exact temperature because the heat hasn't been running long enough to heat the car up, and you're breathing 98-degree air out of your body into a car.

00:17:41.480 It's kind of like a glass Coke bottle on a hot summer day, how it sweats.

00:17:44.960 Well, it creates the same moisture on your glass, and all your windows get completely fogged up, and you literally cannot see in or out of a car.

00:17:51.740 That was a really good explanation.

00:17:53.560 I mean, you almost had a pocket check to chalkboard.

00:17:57.600 I mean, are you a teacher?

00:17:59.140 What do you do for a living?

00:18:00.140 That was really good.

00:18:01.040 I appreciate it.

00:18:04.320 Well, it's just, it sucks because they're literally showing priorities that they're going to cater to insurance companies who are afraid of, you know, less than a half dozen cars a year getting stolen versus the safety of other people driving on the roads.

00:18:16.700 Right.

00:18:17.000 And, of course, obviously that would affect insurance companies too, first of all, because they would be dealing with the accidents that happen.

00:18:23.140 Right.

00:18:23.300 And secondarily, it's up to the insurance companies.

00:18:26.160 If they believe that that's an issue, then they can address that in the policy with the person who signs the policy.

00:18:31.660 Gary, I think you're mistaken.

00:18:33.020 I don't think that this is about the insurance company and them in bed with the insurance company.

00:18:37.880 I really don't because the insurance company would care about the windshield fogging up, et cetera, et cetera.

00:18:44.360 They would care about that because they just spent more money on that car.

00:18:50.280 So that is the primary statistics that they're after.

00:18:53.080 Oh, I think they're after your money.

00:18:55.020 Do they ticket like this a lot?

00:18:57.720 Yeah.

00:18:58.260 Yeah.

00:18:58.460 You get stupid tickets all over the place.

00:19:00.380 You know, there's a city right next door to Roseville called St. Clair Shores I lived in.

00:19:05.040 And it's literally an unwritten law that you cannot park on a city street between the hours of 3 and 5 a.m.

00:19:11.520 in case there is a fire and a fire truck would not be able to safely get down the street.

00:19:16.660 Yeah.

00:19:16.820 You are.

00:19:17.260 Apparently fires only happen between 3 and 5 a.m.

00:19:19.720 Right.

00:19:20.700 You are looking at a town that wants your dollars, plus your tax dollars.

00:19:27.440 I think they are on a fishing mission into your wallet.

00:19:31.740 But I could be wrong.

00:19:32.580 Back in a minute.

00:19:33.120 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:41.580 Mercury.

00:19:45.400 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:47.220 Welcome to the program.

00:19:52.160 Glad you're here.

00:19:53.800 Confirmation hearings are going on for the Attorney General.

00:19:56.620 But we really want to talk about Barack Obama's farewell address tonight.

00:20:04.540 Can you believe we made it?

00:20:06.300 I mean, I talked to Tucker Carlson last night.

00:20:08.260 I was on his first show.

00:20:09.560 Congratulations, Tucker, on getting the 9 o'clock spot.

00:20:11.740 And he had me on.

00:20:15.380 And I said, you know, how many of us, let's take a moment and recognize, how many of us

00:20:20.520 thought we would never make it to the end of the Obama administration, that the country

00:20:25.740 wouldn't make it?

00:20:27.100 Let's take a moment here and celebrate.

00:20:29.920 We made it.

00:20:31.160 We were wrong.

00:20:33.120 We were, to some degree.

00:20:34.700 To some degree.

00:20:36.000 To somebody who thought that we wouldn't make it.

00:20:38.240 He did transform us to a certain extent.

00:20:40.020 He fundamentally transformed America.

00:20:42.120 Oh, I think he's done more than that.

00:20:43.800 I mean, I think whenever we talked about that, it was America as we know it was the way it

00:20:47.880 was always confirmed.

00:20:48.340 And he did change it as we know it.

00:20:49.880 Correct.

00:20:50.260 But we all thought that, at least I did, that there was a chance of real economic peril that

00:20:59.660 would come.

00:21:00.400 It just hasn't come yet.

00:21:01.620 And it's not tied to him.

00:21:03.660 They pumped, you know, trillions of dollars into the economy artificially.

00:21:08.600 Yeah.

00:21:08.660 And he has fundamentally transformed the nation.

00:21:13.900 I think, have I told you guys about Defying Hitler, this book, Defying Hitler?

00:21:18.160 Did I tell you about it yesterday?

00:21:19.400 No.

00:21:20.260 Stu's a new.

00:21:20.980 Fresh meat.

00:21:21.960 Fresh meat.

00:21:22.480 Yeah, Stu's been good.

00:21:23.540 Okay, Stu.

00:21:24.640 Remember when I said you need to read Garden of Beasts?

00:21:27.500 Yes.

00:21:28.040 And remember, you guys heard it for about six months until you couldn't take it anymore.

00:21:32.400 Oh my gosh, yes.

00:21:33.280 I finally had to read it.

00:21:34.700 Right?

00:21:34.900 And then you read it and you came back and you were like...

00:21:38.400 It was awesome.

00:21:39.120 Awesome.

00:21:39.620 Right?

00:21:40.120 And the reason why I wanted to read it is because it was a different perspective on Germany than

00:21:44.400 you'd ever read before.

00:21:45.320 Mm-hmm.

00:21:45.600 Right?

00:21:45.960 Great.

00:21:46.320 Great book.

00:21:46.780 And by the way, it's supposedly going to be a movie at some point.

00:21:49.220 Yeah.

00:21:49.320 Right.

00:21:49.540 Okay, so I'm telling you, this one, A, it's a lot shorter.

00:21:55.860 This book that I've recently found is a hundred times Garden of Beasts.

00:22:03.520 And what it is, is a guy who was German, was growing up in Germany, came of age about 1920.

00:22:12.900 So he was a teenager during the First World War.

00:22:15.980 He started writing it in the 30s, but he's going after all of his recollections starting

00:22:22.160 at 1914.

00:22:23.960 So he remembers what Germany was.

00:22:26.580 Mm-hmm.

00:22:26.920 Okay?

00:22:27.300 Then he remembers the war and he talks about the war and what happened.

00:22:30.920 Then the 1920s, the Weimar Republic, hyperinflation.

00:22:34.540 He talks about that.

00:22:35.500 And then the coming of Hitler and then Hitler and who he was and what happened.

00:22:40.280 Again, this book was written in the 30s as a warning to the world.

00:22:46.640 He escaped Germany and came to the United States, became a professor.

00:22:52.000 He became a huge author of historic books.

00:22:59.160 He wrote the quintessential book on who Adolf Hitler really was, his character and his personality

00:23:05.620 back in like 1972, he dies.

00:23:09.600 His family finds on a shelf this manuscript in 2003 or 2006, something like that.

00:23:16.500 It's published.

00:23:17.460 It becomes a big bestseller during the Bush years.

00:23:19.860 I'd never heard of it.

00:23:21.840 Saw somebody reading it the other day and I said, what is that?

00:23:24.120 And they're like, defying Hitler.

00:23:25.140 And I'm like, ooh, that sounds good.

00:23:27.640 And they started talking to me about it.

00:23:29.060 And I have read, you name it, I have read it on the, you know, Hitler.

00:23:36.440 I mean, I've gotten all the way down to, I was Hitler's chauffeur.

00:23:40.180 So, which isn't worth a read.

00:23:42.500 But anyway, I started reading this book.

00:23:46.780 You will learn more important things about what happened.

00:23:53.620 And what allowed Hitler to take place than any other book I've ever read about the Second

00:24:02.420 World War.

00:24:03.100 It has a completely different point of view because he's not writing it from the point

00:24:09.100 of view of the Nazis and what they were doing it.

00:24:11.920 He's writing it from the point of view of the youth of the day.

00:24:17.480 And he was, he was young.

00:24:20.060 OK, so he was in his teens when America or when Germany was a certain way.

00:24:28.020 And that 9-11 event, if you will, that changed them was the First World War.

00:24:34.100 Then they came back and they were at each other's throats politically.

00:24:38.620 And the churches were at each other's throats.

00:24:41.720 And then jobs were hard to find.

00:24:44.640 And then they started printing money.

00:24:46.140 And then money became, you couldn't, you know, we've read a million times that when

00:24:52.200 you got paid, you stopped working, cast your check, went in and bought anything you could

00:24:57.660 in the store, right?

00:24:59.140 Because a week from now, by the end of your work day, it would be, your paycheck would be

00:25:05.260 worthless.

00:25:05.540 What he talks about is, and I've never heard this, it was the stock market that anybody,

00:25:14.320 anybody who didn't have a family, they took their money and they immediately poured it

00:25:20.420 into the stock market and they got wildly wealthy.

00:25:25.260 Now think of this.

00:25:27.000 Why don't we have hyperinflation?

00:25:29.420 Why isn't our meat and milk and everything else, why isn't that reflective of the $4 trillion

00:25:38.060 that we have just pumped into the system, right?

00:25:41.140 If I said 10 years ago, you put $2 trillion into this system and you're going to start to

00:25:46.960 see massive inflation, okay?

00:25:50.340 We're at $4 trillion.

00:25:52.100 Where's the inflation?

00:25:54.200 You know this.

00:25:55.660 I know you know this.

00:25:56.580 You're going to feel, you're going to go, well, of course, yes, when I say it.

00:26:00.340 The stock market.

00:26:03.040 Everybody says, well, there's no, the fundamentals are gone.

00:26:05.480 What they should be saying is, the stock market is reflective of hyperinflation because the stock

00:26:13.180 market is a reflection of who has the money.

00:26:17.120 That and velocity.

00:26:18.320 Right.

00:26:18.660 I mean, there's a couple of things.

00:26:20.300 So they don't, so the people who got the money are the big corporations, the big banks.

00:26:25.980 They're not giving it to you and me.

00:26:27.880 So we're not, we don't have too many dollars chasing too few goods.

00:26:32.440 They do.

00:26:34.060 And so that's why big elaborate houses are still going through the roof.

00:26:38.680 The rich are starting to feel that inflation and it's concentrated in the stock market.

00:26:44.760 Okay.

00:26:45.520 Well, that's the same thing that happened in Germany.

00:26:48.440 They started constantly, but everybody was doing it.

00:26:52.160 I'm sorry.

00:26:52.920 The youth without children were taking, they were buying a little bit of food to last them

00:26:59.180 the week to their next paycheck.

00:27:00.580 Then they were taking all that money and putting in the stock market.

00:27:03.500 And the stock market did what it's doing now.

00:27:05.980 And now here's what happened.

00:27:09.160 Now think of this.

00:27:10.200 I've never heard this point of view before.

00:27:12.420 And I think this is accurate.

00:27:14.820 He says in reading, remember he's writing in the mid thirties as a warning to the West.

00:27:20.600 You don't know who this guy is and you don't know what happened to Germany.

00:27:24.080 The older people in Germany are not with him.

00:27:28.140 The youth are with him.

00:27:30.180 And here's why, because they were too young to really understand the real German society,

00:27:40.620 the German ethics and being kind to each other because they went, they, they came of age during

00:27:46.800 the war and then they came to age during the war.

00:27:49.960 And right after the war, then the people turned on themselves, were arguing politics, demonizing

00:27:55.840 each other.

00:27:56.380 The Weimar Republic came in, delegitimized the money.

00:28:01.480 All morals went out the window.

00:28:04.220 So if you're 25, you have no kids.

00:28:07.120 You're going to the cabaret out every night.

00:28:10.380 You are, you are with, you have a ton of money because you put it all in the stock market.

00:28:16.600 You're living large.

00:28:18.440 You're a Titan.

00:28:20.040 You're getting all of the girls.

00:28:22.140 Your life is absolutely sweet.

00:28:25.160 Then what happens at the end of the Weimar Republic, a sensible guy comes in, an older

00:28:32.760 statesman comes in and says, I can fix the hyperinflation.

00:28:36.780 He fixes the hyperinflation.

00:28:39.200 He fixes the fact that he says for two years during this guy's rule, we're not even talking

00:28:45.280 about politics anymore.

00:28:47.000 No one is arguing politics.

00:28:49.400 We're on the road back to the way we were.

00:28:53.340 Right.

00:28:55.160 But all those youth who were bank presidents, they were 25 year old bank presidents.

00:29:01.960 They don't, they're not bank presidents anymore because they were all discredited because it

00:29:06.580 was a game of, it was a shell game.

00:29:09.320 It was like Wall Street, you know, the movie, just a shell game.

00:29:12.380 So those guys don't, they have to go down into other jobs and work hard for their money.

00:29:18.980 And those days are over for them.

00:29:20.320 Those glory days.

00:29:21.260 They want the glory days.

00:29:23.020 So when Hitler comes in and says, we're going to privatize business with us.

00:29:33.340 And if you're in with a Nazi party, you're going to be able to make it.

00:29:37.300 They recognize this game of, of just do, you know, do the ends justify the means and I can

00:29:46.360 have that life back.

00:29:47.720 So the youth throw their lot in with Hitler.

00:29:52.360 And that's why it worked.

00:29:54.100 I've never heard that before.

00:29:57.080 It's really interesting.

00:29:57.640 And that's only, that's like the first third of the book.

00:29:59.940 It's really good called Defying Hitler.

00:30:02.340 I'm in.

00:30:02.760 You should read it.

00:30:03.320 I'm in.

00:30:04.080 I just finished Hitler Ascent.

00:30:06.620 I have not read that one.

00:30:08.160 It's the new, like, it's, the Ascent is still 1939.

00:30:12.040 So it's a two part series, a thousand books per edition, a thousand pages per edition.

00:30:18.060 You know, one of those types of books.

00:30:19.580 But I mean, fascinating.

00:30:20.840 Just the chapter on Hitler and the churches is so worth your time.

00:30:27.060 If you've ever had the argument with someone on Facebook where they say, oh, yeah, every

00:30:31.220 one of these mass murders, it's always fueled by religion.

00:30:33.980 And you, and you would say, well, Hitler, he, he was, or look at this quote from Hitler.

00:30:39.280 He said, he thinks that that were religious prior to 1933.

00:30:42.060 All of it happened really early on in, in the first few weeks of his, of his reign as

00:30:47.380 chancellor.

00:30:47.880 But I mean, the behind the scenes quotes they have from this guy in which his entire mission

00:30:53.220 was to discredit the churches afterwards.

00:30:56.080 It was like living space, get rid of the Jews.

00:30:58.520 Then let's get rid of the churches.

00:30:59.880 That was his plan.

00:31:01.260 And he used those relationships, tried to destroy the churches and the quotes they have

00:31:07.420 from him and Goebbels.

00:31:09.560 And it's an, it's amazing.

00:31:11.780 So Hitler's ascent, Hitler ascent.

00:31:14.080 It's a Volker, Volker Ulrich is the guy who wrote it.

00:31:17.240 It's the new sort of Volker, Volker.

00:31:19.400 Oh yeah.

00:31:20.440 It's the, I mean, it's amazing.

00:31:21.980 It's the new, like, you know, biography on Hitler, the new one.

00:31:26.080 And like, you know, every like 10 to 15 years, a new one gets written, the last one.

00:31:29.900 And that's a problem too, because the farther we get away from these guys, I mean, there's

00:31:35.680 a double-edged sword.

00:31:36.600 Yeah.

00:31:36.800 There's a double-edged sword.

00:31:37.760 You want to be, you want to, the time to write it is when some of the people are still alive,

00:31:45.740 but they're not powerful.

00:31:48.020 So at the end of their life, so they can still, you can still check and say, right, right,

00:31:54.920 right.

00:31:55.720 And if you use original sources, you're good.

00:31:59.440 So the first ones that are written in the first 30 years are probably a little skewed,

00:32:04.840 probably, unless they're attached entirely to original first-person sources.

00:32:10.560 Right.

00:32:10.760 And so you had, I mean, you've had this where, you know, Joaquin Fest had one which was influenced

00:32:15.820 by a lot of the people who were alive, but a lot of the people who wanted to rehabilitate

00:32:19.040 their reputations, Albert Speer being the main one.

00:32:22.920 Yes.

00:32:23.680 And that one came later.

00:32:25.240 Kershaw's in 2000, I think, was, you know, seen as the standard.

00:32:29.900 And this one, I think, because while you're right, a lot of these guys aren't around anymore

00:32:33.460 to tell the stories, more and more documentation has come out.

00:32:36.700 And really, I mean, the fuel for the industry, if you want to say that Hitler is, you know,

00:32:42.600 the Goebbels' diaries.

00:32:44.380 I mean, those changed the whole world of how much we understand.

00:32:47.840 The guy was writing a diary entry about, like, every meeting he had throughout the era.

00:32:52.540 That's the great thing about, that's the great thing.

00:32:54.420 And the founders, too.

00:32:55.780 But with the founders, they stopped using those diaries.

00:33:00.260 They stopped using the original sources.

00:33:02.460 Right.

00:33:03.020 Because it didn't give them the narrative they were looking for.

00:33:05.960 The narrative on the Nazis is they were bad guys.

00:33:09.060 And so their diaries back all of that stuff up.

00:33:12.580 So as long as you're pegged to original sources, you're good.

00:33:16.500 This has been Hitler Book Corner.

00:33:18.060 I just finished Hitler's Mailman's Neighbor.

00:33:21.440 Did you?

00:33:22.040 Yeah.

00:33:22.440 He died in 1934.

00:33:24.820 So he doesn't have a lot of perspective.

00:33:26.760 What was it like?

00:33:27.240 But he talked about the junk mail he heard Adolf Gott early in his chancellorship.

00:33:33.020 Fascinating.

00:33:33.420 Original sources and footnotes?

00:33:34.820 A lot of stuff.

00:33:35.320 All footnotes.

00:33:36.000 Can I get your copy?

00:33:36.740 Do you mind if I borrow it?

00:33:37.740 823 pages of footnotes.

00:33:40.520 The three books, the three books, the one I'm talking about is Defying Hitler,

00:33:45.280 Hitler Ascent is Stu's, and Hitler's Mailman's Next Door Neighbor is the third one.

00:33:52.260 Thank you very much.

00:33:53.280 It's a long read.

00:33:54.020 It is.

00:33:54.500 Pat's is, I will say, a little bit academic.

00:33:57.080 I mean, it's a deep read.

00:33:58.540 It's even a mailbox.

00:33:59.280 It's 2,400 pages.

00:34:02.440 And he dies before 33.

00:34:04.780 He dies.

00:34:05.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:34:06.900 Amazing.

00:34:09.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:13.060 Mercury.

00:34:16.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:34:19.900 We were just talking about Star Wars.

00:34:22.140 We were catching up with Stu, who was sick early last week, and asked about the new Star Wars,

00:34:28.860 if he had seen it, Rogue One, and what he thought.

00:34:31.840 We all are of the same opinion.

00:34:33.320 Really good.

00:34:34.180 We don't know how to compare it.

00:34:36.640 Really, really good for an offshoot.

00:34:40.420 I mean, this is the good times, or the mod, if you will, of the Star Wars story.

00:34:49.580 Yeah, it is.

00:34:50.520 It's a complete offshoot.

00:34:51.960 It's almost a prequel, too.

00:34:53.440 It's a prequel to the original 1977.

00:34:56.460 I don't think it is.

00:34:57.340 It's a parallel storyline that feeds it.

00:35:02.540 Yeah.

00:35:02.860 So, it's not all the story.

00:35:05.120 It's not exactly a prequel.

00:35:06.560 Right.

00:35:06.860 You're right.

00:35:07.640 Yeah.

00:35:08.000 It's an offshoot.

00:35:08.540 It's a second storyline.

00:35:09.700 But in it, it brings up the ethical choice of what all of us are going to have to face in

00:35:17.400 the future, and a question of, wow, would you have the right to do that?

00:35:23.360 We'll talk about it next.

00:36:19.020 Hello, America.

00:36:19.860 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:36:21.360 The Jeff Sessions hearings are underway in Capitol Hill.

00:36:25.840 And I just saw Dianne Feinstein say that, quote, the country right now is overwhelmed by fear.

00:36:36.840 And we need to know an answer to a few things, yada, yada, yada.

00:36:41.440 The country is overwhelmed by fear.

00:36:44.840 Now, no one in the media will print anything like, what are they talking about?

00:36:55.440 Why are the Democrats just peddling fear?

00:36:58.660 Why are they playing on people's fears?

00:37:01.960 What is this, what is their gain to be got by saying that people are fearful?

00:37:07.960 They're fear mongers, except that's exactly what they're doing.

00:37:15.180 That's exactly what we said politely at the beginning.

00:37:19.980 Wait, you know, there's a lot of us that are a little freaked out.

00:37:22.320 This guy has been surrounded by Marxists and communists his whole life,

00:37:25.120 and you guys are changing things.

00:37:28.380 What are we changing to?

00:37:30.600 The same kind of fear, except the rules are reversed.

00:37:35.120 So now, what is the media going to do?

00:37:39.640 What are the politicians going to do?

00:37:42.900 I don't know.

00:37:44.260 But what we should do is very, very clear.

00:37:47.540 And we begin there right now.

00:37:49.180 I will make a stand.

00:37:52.500 I will raise my voice.

00:37:54.820 I will hold your hand.

00:37:57.240 Because we are one.

00:37:59.100 I will beat my drum.

00:38:01.300 I have made my choice.

00:38:03.320 We will overcome.

00:38:05.800 Because we are one.

00:38:07.680 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:38:11.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:18.220 I want to take you back eight years ago.

00:38:20.520 Tonight is the night that Barack Obama gives his farewell speech.

00:38:26.080 And we made it, gang.

00:38:27.480 We made it.

00:38:28.080 And a lot of the things that we said would happen have happened.

00:38:32.400 Some of the things are worse.

00:38:34.360 Some of the things are better.

00:38:36.040 But the country has been fundamentally transformed.

00:38:39.140 Now, I want to start there.

00:38:40.860 Eight years ago.

00:38:43.460 Eight years ago, five days before the election,

00:38:46.560 he said, we are five days away from the fundamental transformation

00:38:51.660 of the United States of America.

00:38:55.120 And then, after he was elected, Newsweek magazine published an article.

00:39:00.240 Their headline on the front page was,

00:39:02.280 We're All Socialists Now.

00:39:04.700 We heard from the president's pastor, Jeremiah Wright,

00:39:09.620 who said awful things about white people.

00:39:13.500 He is, in my opinion, clearly a racist.

00:39:16.960 He has surrounded himself with people like Jeremiah Wright his whole life.

00:39:23.740 Not only is Jeremiah Wright a clear racist,

00:39:26.260 Jeremiah Wright is also a clear liberation theology Marxist.

00:39:32.240 Barack Obama grew up around Marxists and communists.

00:39:38.380 So there was a reason for half the country to say,

00:39:42.220 Wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:39:42.920 What do you mean by fundamental transformation?

00:39:44.760 Remember when he was talking to Joe the Plumber,

00:39:50.100 and he talked about redistribution of wealth.

00:39:53.080 But they said that we were racists for even saying that he has socialist or Marxist leanings.

00:40:00.440 Remember that.

00:40:02.000 We're racists for saying he has socialist or Marxist leanings

00:40:06.740 when he was proposing universal health care.

00:40:11.480 That's a socialist program.

00:40:12.840 How can they be racist to point out that the socialist program that he is proposing is socialist?

00:40:22.060 When you are running a magazine cover that says we're all socialists now,

00:40:29.600 how can it be racist for me to say I'm not a socialist,

00:40:33.060 and I think he is, and I think that's bad?

00:40:35.320 So it was not only the move of the fundamental transformation

00:40:43.660 and the loss of fundamental underpinnings of the Constitution,

00:40:51.340 where nobody was talking about the Constitution.

00:40:53.600 Remember, the problem with George W. Bush was executive orders,

00:40:57.160 executive overreach, spying on people, and endless wars.

00:41:04.340 We agree.

00:41:04.880 A lot of America agreed with that in 2008.

00:41:08.280 Yeah, we should stop spying on people.

00:41:10.500 We should reduce the size of the federal government's overreach

00:41:15.180 with things like the NSA, things like the Patriot Act.

00:41:18.840 Yeah, you're right.

00:41:20.140 And maybe we should humble ourselves a little bit

00:41:22.960 and maybe not get tied into all of these wars all around the world.

00:41:28.760 That was the fundamental transformation that we were all under the understanding

00:41:33.760 that we were told was going to happen.

00:41:36.540 But when it got down to it, there were too many questions about this man's past and character

00:41:42.780 that no one would ask, no one would say, no one would verify.

00:41:48.100 And when we did, we were called conspiracy theorists, racists, or fearmongers.

00:41:53.380 When I said the Fed has pumped $4 trillion into the economy,

00:42:01.580 no country has ever done that and survived.

00:42:04.640 Check it out.

00:42:05.460 Do your own homework.

00:42:06.540 No country has ever printed $4 trillion of paper or digits and survived.

00:42:14.580 Never has happened in the history of the world.

00:42:17.420 I'm called a fearmonger.

00:42:19.500 I'm called crazy.

00:42:21.160 To say that a man is not listening to those who disagree with him

00:42:26.560 and is doing things by hook or by crook

00:42:31.700 and say that the person who says that

00:42:36.320 is a fearmonger is a fearmonger, a radical, a racist when his own quotes and the quotes from people like Nancy Pelosi,

00:42:46.740 by hook or by hook or by crook, Obama will pull vault into it if we have to pass the bill to see what's in the bill.

00:42:56.460 Those are all legitimate reasons for fear.

00:43:00.120 But we were told there is no legitimate reason for fear, that we are out of step, that we are dragging us back to the past,

00:43:10.460 that we are racist, hate mongers, and dangerous.

00:43:16.000 Now, the one message they didn't hear from me in the last eight years because they weren't listening,

00:43:24.600 they only had selective hearing, was guys, don't do this because the tables will turn

00:43:29.020 and the next guy could come in

00:43:30.900 and it might not be your guy

00:43:32.660 and you won't like him having all of this power.

00:43:37.900 Don't do it.

00:43:40.200 Now the tables have turned

00:43:41.660 and now

00:43:43.180 now the good senator from California

00:43:47.420 says the country is overwhelmed

00:43:49.420 by fear now.

00:43:51.620 Good.

00:43:52.140 I'm glad she's overwhelmed by fear.

00:43:55.260 Good.

00:43:55.820 Are you?

00:43:56.540 Yes.

00:43:56.940 Are you?

00:43:57.700 Yes.

00:43:58.680 I think turnabout is fair play in this particular instance.

00:44:01.700 I don't feel that bad for

00:44:03.220 for Dianne Feinstein

00:44:05.660 or Barbara Boxer

00:44:07.560 or any of these phonies

00:44:09.580 who are now afraid.

00:44:11.280 Good.

00:44:12.780 Good.

00:44:13.780 Whether you voted for Trump or not,

00:44:15.660 you have to feel good about that particular instance.

00:44:19.140 Told you,

00:44:19.920 it's probably wrong of me to feel that way.

00:44:23.880 I'm going to go a step further and say

00:44:25.780 I'm pretty sure it is wrong.

00:44:28.060 However,

00:44:28.820 I completely validate your feeling of good.

00:44:32.920 Good.

00:44:33.680 Okay.

00:44:34.840 You're feeling what you're feeling.

00:44:36.460 Yeah.

00:44:36.760 Good.

00:44:37.600 Yeah.

00:44:37.840 And there is part of me that says,

00:44:39.600 oh, really?

00:44:41.040 Right.

00:44:41.320 Oh, now the shoe's on the other foot.

00:44:43.440 Exactly.

00:44:44.000 And I could say,

00:44:45.340 good.

00:44:46.680 You want some fear?

00:44:47.840 Oh, I'll show you some fear.

00:44:49.100 And then do all of the things.

00:44:51.940 And there is a part of me

00:44:53.360 that would revel

00:44:55.160 in doing

00:44:56.540 and going back

00:44:57.620 and we could do this easily

00:44:58.920 going back

00:44:59.860 and looking for all of the things

00:45:01.740 Chris Matthews said.

00:45:02.980 Oh, my gosh.

00:45:03.680 All of the things

00:45:04.340 that everybody on the left

00:45:06.120 said about us.

00:45:08.240 Yeah.

00:45:08.660 And then having just a book of it

00:45:10.740 and then applying it to them

00:45:13.120 and saying,

00:45:14.260 good.

00:45:15.160 Who are you trying

00:45:16.760 to take America back for?

00:45:18.840 Right.

00:45:19.660 What does that even mean?

00:45:21.380 What are you,

00:45:21.780 a bunch of racists?

00:45:22.880 Right.

00:45:23.220 Who don't like a white guy?

00:45:24.540 I mean,

00:45:24.740 we could play that game.

00:45:27.140 Yeah.

00:45:27.600 Or,

00:45:31.580 we could say,

00:45:34.180 finally,

00:45:36.440 you understand

00:45:38.260 what we felt like.

00:45:41.600 And no one in America

00:45:44.020 should ever feel that way.

00:45:47.220 No one in America

00:45:48.700 should ever feel

00:45:50.420 like the President

00:45:51.760 of the United States

00:45:52.860 is a danger to them

00:45:54.840 personally.

00:45:55.540 That's crazy.

00:45:58.300 No one should ever

00:45:59.000 feel that way.

00:46:00.160 The President should not

00:46:01.000 have that power.

00:46:02.420 Or because they don't

00:46:03.040 understand that,

00:46:03.740 we could just say,

00:46:04.480 good.

00:46:05.860 Right.

00:46:06.660 Good.

00:46:07.100 We could.

00:46:07.720 Be afraid.

00:46:08.540 Yes.

00:46:08.980 We could say that.

00:46:09.980 Or we could say,

00:46:11.640 I understand that.

00:46:13.400 Now,

00:46:14.240 for those of you

00:46:15.660 who are feeling that,

00:46:17.260 I really get it.

00:46:18.580 And let me show you

00:46:19.780 how I get it.

00:46:20.580 And you're not going

00:46:21.260 to understand it

00:46:22.060 because you believe

00:46:23.860 that everyone

00:46:25.080 involved in this

00:46:26.380 have good intentions,

00:46:27.600 just like those

00:46:29.160 who support Donald Trump

00:46:30.500 all believe

00:46:31.560 he has good intentions

00:46:32.760 and he'll never

00:46:33.940 do anything wrong.

00:46:36.480 He will not hurt anything.

00:46:39.460 He's a reasonable businessman.

00:46:41.120 Yes.

00:46:41.880 His hyperbole

00:46:42.740 or some of the people

00:46:43.740 that have been around him,

00:46:45.160 yes,

00:46:45.500 they're of concern.

00:46:46.340 I get that.

00:46:46.960 But that's not who he is.

00:46:48.760 That's exactly

00:46:49.740 what you said to me.

00:46:51.280 Right.

00:46:51.960 Let me say that back to you.

00:46:55.000 Now,

00:46:55.540 let me show you

00:46:56.440 what scared us

00:46:59.380 because I can turn the tables

00:47:01.380 and show you

00:47:02.240 the exact reverse of this

00:47:04.500 that's got you freaking out.

00:47:06.480 That's a long way.

00:47:07.940 Now,

00:47:08.260 I like good.

00:47:09.620 Me too, too.

00:47:10.480 But it's shorter.

00:47:11.400 But it is shorter.

00:47:12.260 It's a lot shorter.

00:47:12.900 It's easier to remember.

00:47:13.640 And it's easier for them

00:47:14.640 to understand.

00:47:15.400 No, no, no.

00:47:17.540 They're smarter than we are.

00:47:18.940 Oh, of course.

00:47:19.260 So let's make a reasoned argument here.

00:47:21.500 Okay?

00:47:22.240 Okay.

00:47:23.320 They said

00:47:24.320 we were afraid of progress

00:47:25.860 and we were afraid

00:47:26.720 of anything new.

00:47:28.960 All right?

00:47:30.180 We say,

00:47:31.940 look,

00:47:33.180 what you deem new,

00:47:35.920 we deem as a

00:47:38.220 severing of

00:47:40.880 important traditions.

00:47:42.400 The day of the inauguration,

00:47:47.640 we got a call

00:47:48.420 from a listener

00:47:49.340 who said,

00:47:50.060 my daughter was involved

00:47:51.260 to listen to the

00:47:52.400 Vice President of the United States,

00:47:54.200 Al Gore, speak.

00:47:55.820 And I said to her,

00:47:57.420 you better go in

00:47:58.360 and tape it

00:47:59.200 on my cell phone.

00:48:00.660 So she went in

00:48:01.460 and taped it.

00:48:02.560 He sent us the tape

00:48:04.480 and this is what was on it.

00:48:06.540 There are some things

00:48:08.620 about our world

00:48:09.780 that you

00:48:11.840 know

00:48:13.740 that older people

00:48:15.800 don't know.

00:48:16.880 Okay.

00:48:17.680 What he was saying in this,

00:48:19.700 no adults were allowed in.

00:48:21.140 It was just the Vice President

00:48:22.440 and teenage kids.

00:48:25.060 And what he was saying there was,

00:48:26.940 you don't have to talk

00:48:28.800 to your parents

00:48:29.440 about this one-on-one.

00:48:30.780 There are things

00:48:31.480 that you know

00:48:32.340 that they are,

00:48:33.420 they're just not

00:48:34.440 going to understand.

00:48:35.800 And global warming,

00:48:36.940 they will never understand.

00:48:37.800 But know that you're right

00:48:39.480 and if you can bring

00:48:40.880 your parents along,

00:48:41.740 good.

00:48:42.080 But don't worry

00:48:42.680 about your parents

00:48:43.480 because they didn't

00:48:45.500 understand racism

00:48:46.580 either in the day.

00:48:48.520 Okay?

00:48:48.780 That's what he said.

00:48:49.560 That was his whole point, yeah.

00:48:50.540 Now that frightened

00:48:52.020 a lot of people

00:48:53.360 who have families

00:48:54.980 and believe

00:48:55.780 the sanctity

00:48:56.760 of the family

00:48:57.740 belongs to the mother

00:48:59.280 or father.

00:49:00.200 And I know those

00:49:01.080 on the left

00:49:01.600 feel that if it's

00:49:02.640 a mother and a mother

00:49:03.520 or a father and a father,

00:49:05.260 their word

00:49:07.180 is what is

00:49:08.100 raising that child.

00:49:09.380 You don't want

00:49:10.060 somebody from my side

00:49:11.920 coming in

00:49:12.980 and saying,

00:49:13.980 hey, I want to talk

00:49:14.520 to your kid

00:49:15.100 by themselves.

00:49:17.060 Glenn Beck

00:49:17.600 wants to talk

00:49:18.420 to your teenage child

00:49:20.500 and no recording devices.

00:49:24.080 And then I say,

00:49:25.300 you know,

00:49:25.860 your dad

00:49:26.560 and your dad,

00:49:27.980 look,

00:49:29.340 you know things

00:49:30.880 that they don't

00:49:32.620 understand.

00:49:33.240 So you just

00:49:35.500 keep moving forward

00:49:36.700 on the agenda

00:49:37.500 that we're talking

00:49:38.320 about here.

00:49:39.420 And don't worry

00:49:40.140 about your mom

00:49:40.860 and dad.

00:49:41.600 You got to love them

00:49:42.380 because they don't,

00:49:44.480 they never got

00:49:45.280 the traditional marriage

00:49:46.420 thing in the first place,

00:49:47.680 but we love them anyway.

00:49:50.120 That would scare you

00:49:51.580 to the core

00:49:52.400 of your existence.

00:49:54.480 That's what happened

00:49:55.940 to us

00:49:56.920 for eight

00:49:58.120 solid years.

00:50:00.320 Now,

00:50:01.500 you are feeling,

00:50:02.600 here's a guy

00:50:03.940 that is coming in

00:50:05.820 and we've made

00:50:07.200 all of this progress

00:50:08.640 and it's all

00:50:11.540 being reversed

00:50:12.440 on us.

00:50:14.000 Overnight,

00:50:14.700 it's being reversed.

00:50:17.860 And then I would say

00:50:19.020 to you,

00:50:20.020 that's wrong,

00:50:21.820 isn't it?

00:50:23.500 That's wrong,

00:50:24.760 isn't it?

00:50:26.220 We can't,

00:50:26.760 how can you possibly

00:50:28.080 run a country?

00:50:29.400 And what were we told?

00:50:30.280 Elections have consequences.

00:50:33.120 Correct.

00:50:34.120 The fundamental transformation

00:50:35.340 is underway

00:50:35.920 because elections

00:50:36.740 have consequences.

00:50:38.240 And I would say

00:50:38.960 to you,

00:50:39.960 we can't run

00:50:41.840 a country

00:50:42.360 where every four

00:50:43.300 or eight years

00:50:44.260 we turn the boat

00:50:45.740 around 180 degrees.

00:50:48.060 We will have

00:50:49.020 no credibility.

00:50:50.340 We will have

00:50:50.840 no stability.

00:50:52.200 It will only lead

00:50:53.580 to more

00:50:54.300 and more division.

00:50:56.180 We can't have

00:50:57.540 that happening

00:50:58.340 in our country.

00:51:00.020 So what's the solution?

00:51:02.060 The solution is

00:51:02.920 the federal government

00:51:04.320 never makes

00:51:05.320 big changes

00:51:06.520 unless they're

00:51:07.500 constitutional changes.

00:51:09.400 And the power

00:51:10.360 is restrained

00:51:11.540 because elections

00:51:13.420 do have consequences

00:51:14.900 and they're having

00:51:15.800 more and more

00:51:16.680 consequences for us now.

00:51:18.980 You don't want

00:51:19.680 those consequences.

00:51:20.620 I don't want

00:51:21.220 those consequences.

00:51:21.940 And for us

00:51:23.620 to project stability

00:51:24.920 we have to have

00:51:26.320 some rock

00:51:27.420 of foundation.

00:51:28.720 And it's not a person.

00:51:30.200 It's not Obamaism

00:51:31.420 and it's not Trumpism.

00:51:33.020 It's constitutionalism.

00:51:35.880 That is the rock

00:51:37.280 of our stability.

00:51:40.540 If we can talk

00:51:41.980 to them

00:51:42.500 and have

00:51:43.520 an honest conversation

00:51:45.200 where we can start

00:51:46.500 instead of saying

00:51:47.340 good,

00:51:48.320 which we all want

00:51:49.160 to say

00:51:49.620 good Diane

00:51:51.340 really?

00:51:52.100 Why don't you

00:51:52.940 feel that

00:51:53.620 for a while?

00:51:55.840 Instead saying

00:51:56.960 finally

00:51:58.320 finally

00:52:00.180 you understand

00:52:01.540 exactly

00:52:02.620 how we have felt.

00:52:04.220 It doesn't feel

00:52:05.520 good does it?

00:52:07.000 And the last thing

00:52:07.940 I want to do

00:52:08.500 to you Diane

00:52:09.620 is to mock you

00:52:11.480 because that's

00:52:12.760 what was done

00:52:13.320 to us.

00:52:13.980 And I remember

00:52:14.920 how that felt

00:52:16.140 as well.

00:52:16.940 I mean it's not

00:52:18.180 the last thing

00:52:18.840 we want to do.

00:52:22.400 You're listening

00:52:23.220 to the Glenn Beck

00:52:24.100 program.

00:52:28.400 Individuals and

00:52:29.060 businesses with

00:52:29.860 tax problems

00:52:30.580 listen carefully.

00:52:31.780 If you owe

00:52:32.280 over $10,000

00:52:33.360 in back taxes

00:52:34.320 or have unfiled

00:52:35.080 tax returns

00:52:35.740 we can help you

00:52:36.420 take back control.

00:52:37.480 The IRS is the

00:52:38.380 largest and most

00:52:39.060 aggressive collection

00:52:39.960 agency in the world

00:52:40.980 and they can seize

00:52:41.740 your bank account,

00:52:42.520 garnish your paycheck,

00:52:43.480 close your business

00:52:44.320 and file criminal charges.

00:52:46.140 Take control

00:52:46.620 of your tax

00:52:47.160 problems now

00:52:47.820 by calling

00:52:48.260 the experts

00:52:48.860 at Tax Mediation

00:52:49.920 Services

00:52:50.460 at 800-600-1645.

00:52:53.060 That's 800-600-1645.

00:52:55.520 800-600-1645.

00:52:58.760 This is the

00:52:59.740 Glenn Beck program.

00:53:04.000 Welcome to the program.

00:53:05.660 One feels good

00:53:07.020 and one wins.

00:53:09.200 The question is

00:53:10.160 do we want to feel good

00:53:11.460 or do we want to

00:53:12.540 bring people together

00:53:13.640 and win on both sides?

00:53:16.220 And if we feel good

00:53:17.740 what does that do?

00:53:19.320 It just continues

00:53:20.360 to divide, right?

00:53:21.760 It just, if we say

00:53:22.700 good to the

00:53:23.860 Dian Feinsteins

00:53:24.720 of the world

00:53:25.200 that just continues

00:53:26.360 the division

00:53:27.520 between us.

00:53:28.060 And they

00:53:28.400 you are played

00:53:31.880 as a bad guy.

00:53:35.000 Yeah, or you can say

00:53:36.460 like you said

00:53:37.160 very reasonably

00:53:38.000 finally

00:53:39.000 you know what

00:53:40.740 I was talking about

00:53:41.820 eight years ago.

00:53:43.460 I hate to say this

00:53:44.720 because this is so

00:53:45.380 against how

00:53:46.920 conservatives talk

00:53:47.940 but this is how

00:53:49.180 liberals understand

00:53:50.840 things.

00:53:52.400 Finally you understand

00:53:53.580 how I felt.

00:53:55.000 I feel, yes.

00:53:55.960 This is how I felt.

00:53:57.320 What you're feeling

00:53:58.140 right now is what

00:53:58.860 I felt.

00:54:00.000 Right.

00:54:00.520 But who will have that?

00:54:01.600 Who's the reasonable

00:54:02.840 liberal to have that

00:54:04.560 discussion with?

00:54:05.300 I've had lots of them.

00:54:06.280 Not Dian Feinstein.

00:54:07.760 Nobody in power.

00:54:08.140 No, I don't think

00:54:08.560 it's going to come

00:54:09.000 from the media class.

00:54:12.180 It's not going to come

00:54:12.920 from the politician class.

00:54:14.660 You had a good talk

00:54:15.160 with Charlie Rose

00:54:15.900 who I think is probably

00:54:16.880 quite liberal.

00:54:18.500 Yeah, I had a great talk.

00:54:19.200 That was a decent.

00:54:19.660 Samantha Bee was

00:54:20.420 an amazing conversation.

00:54:22.060 I think the truth is

00:54:22.800 obviously that Dian Feinstein

00:54:24.120 doesn't really

00:54:25.260 her

00:54:25.940 she doesn't really fear

00:54:27.640 too much government power.

00:54:29.240 She's just doing

00:54:30.080 what she does.

00:54:31.000 Oh, I think they

00:54:31.860 I think they do.

00:54:33.800 I think

00:54:34.420 let's put it this way.

00:54:35.820 They fear government power

00:54:37.080 if it's not them.

00:54:38.900 The same way

00:54:39.980 that many of the people

00:54:41.160 who said that they were

00:54:42.520 on our side

00:54:43.400 are first in line

00:54:45.780 for giant government

00:54:47.240 programs now

00:54:48.280 because they're in charge.

00:54:50.660 If Donald Trump

00:54:52.180 and the GOP

00:54:54.800 rebuilds Obamacare

00:54:57.500 into another government

00:54:59.420 program

00:55:00.180 well then it shows

00:55:01.380 that some people

00:55:02.760 didn't actually believe

00:55:04.280 that the government

00:55:05.700 wasn't the answer.

00:55:07.160 I still do

00:55:08.060 and I think there's

00:55:09.160 a lot of people

00:55:09.760 on both sides

00:55:10.780 that still do

00:55:11.680 but don't discount

00:55:13.620 the fear

00:55:14.300 on both sides

00:55:15.020 because the fascists

00:55:16.660 and the communists

00:55:17.500 have always been afraid

00:55:18.560 of each other.

00:55:18.660 This is the Glenn Beck

00:55:19.700 program.

00:55:21.320 Mercury.

00:55:23.000 888-727-BECK

00:55:24.900 This is

00:55:26.040 the Glenn Beck program.

00:55:28.760 Right now

00:55:29.540 Dianne Feinstein

00:55:32.280 just said

00:55:32.900 that there is

00:55:33.700 the country

00:55:34.520 is overwhelmed

00:55:35.180 by fear

00:55:36.120 and

00:55:37.160 finally

00:55:39.820 they understand

00:55:41.420 how we have felt.

00:55:42.460 we have felt

00:55:43.800 this way

00:55:44.300 when we had

00:55:45.000 somebody

00:55:45.340 who was not

00:55:46.020 a capitalist

00:55:46.580 who was talking

00:55:47.900 about socialist

00:55:48.840 programs

00:55:49.840 and then when

00:55:50.840 they would deny

00:55:51.840 and say

00:55:52.420 no he's not

00:55:53.020 a socialist

00:55:53.600 well then that

00:55:54.920 makes me feel

00:55:55.700 like you're hiding

00:55:56.540 something even bigger

00:55:57.700 and he had

00:56:00.260 communists

00:56:00.840 that were in

00:56:01.460 his life

00:56:02.200 early in his age

00:56:03.720 that was

00:56:04.900 part of

00:56:05.720 our fear.

00:56:06.860 And he put

00:56:07.100 a communist

00:56:07.620 at the head

00:56:08.940 of

00:56:09.140 what was he

00:56:10.620 he was the

00:56:11.120 climate czar

00:56:12.000 green jobs

00:56:12.740 are

00:56:13.820 correct

00:56:14.180 so you know

00:56:15.960 now

00:56:16.480 people are afraid

00:56:17.980 that Trump

00:56:18.820 will bring in

00:56:19.440 totalitarianism

00:56:20.460 that he will

00:56:21.240 shut people up

00:56:22.100 he disagrees with

00:56:23.160 that he will

00:56:24.380 reverse all of

00:56:25.560 the things

00:56:26.080 listen to this

00:56:26.840 reverse all of

00:56:27.860 the things

00:56:28.280 that you

00:56:28.920 value

00:56:29.680 that's exactly

00:56:33.200 how I felt

00:56:33.760 about Barack Obama

00:56:34.920 I can relate

00:56:35.940 to you

00:56:36.440 100%

00:56:37.640 I could sit

00:56:38.580 there at a

00:56:39.160 bar with you

00:56:39.920 while you're

00:56:40.560 pouring shots

00:56:41.560 down your

00:56:42.060 throat

00:56:42.400 and crying

00:56:43.220 at the bar

00:56:43.720 and I could

00:56:44.120 just have my

00:56:44.620 hand on your

00:56:45.120 back the whole

00:56:45.620 time going

00:56:46.000 I know

00:56:46.340 I know

00:56:47.160 get it all

00:56:47.640 out

00:56:47.900 I know

00:56:49.180 I was there

00:56:50.780 right

00:56:52.400 that's the way

00:56:53.260 we have to

00:56:54.160 react

00:56:54.800 to our

00:56:56.180 liberal friends

00:56:57.040 don't fall

00:56:58.700 into the trap

00:56:59.580 of mocking

00:57:01.040 them or

00:57:01.660 dismissing

00:57:02.460 them

00:57:02.780 don't fall

00:57:04.140 into the trap

00:57:04.580 and saying

00:57:04.940 yeah that's

00:57:05.880 the way

00:57:06.180 we felt

00:57:07.060 okay

00:57:07.640 listen to

00:57:10.100 them

00:57:10.420 and say

00:57:11.820 I know

00:57:12.860 now I'm not

00:57:13.680 talking about

00:57:14.400 the elites

00:57:15.060 the elites

00:57:16.220 and the ones

00:57:16.980 who are driving

00:57:17.680 everything

00:57:18.000 it's like

00:57:18.440 it's just

00:57:19.020 like my

00:57:19.540 stance on

00:57:20.300 Black Lives

00:57:21.600 Matter

00:57:21.840 I don't

00:57:22.800 believe in

00:57:23.360 the people

00:57:23.700 who are

00:57:24.020 running it

00:57:24.400 or wrote

00:57:24.780 the manifesto

00:57:26.040 they're

00:57:26.740 communists

00:57:27.380 they're

00:57:27.940 dangerous

00:57:28.500 most of

00:57:30.880 the people

00:57:31.280 I believe

00:57:32.280 that are

00:57:33.520 following

00:57:34.260 them

00:57:34.500 that they're

00:57:34.860 average

00:57:35.580 people

00:57:36.040 are just

00:57:36.920 trying to

00:57:37.280 say

00:57:37.500 will somebody

00:57:39.020 listen to

00:57:39.440 us

00:57:39.580 because there's

00:57:39.960 a problem

00:57:40.300 in our

00:57:40.580 community

00:57:40.980 those are

00:57:43.800 the people

00:57:44.180 that we need

00:57:44.680 to reach

00:57:45.020 out to

00:57:45.500 let me

00:57:48.380 back you

00:57:48.760 strategically

00:57:49.560 here for a

00:57:50.140 moment as

00:57:50.520 well

00:57:50.860 because a

00:57:51.420 lot of

00:57:51.660 your stuff

00:57:52.060 seems like

00:57:53.180 you're going

00:57:53.420 to play

00:57:53.740 the sitar

00:57:57.240 and we're

00:57:57.840 all going

00:57:58.080 to join

00:57:58.940 around

00:57:59.200 a campfire

00:58:00.420 or something

00:58:00.740 it might

00:58:01.700 I think

00:58:02.900 you're

00:58:03.040 probably

00:58:03.320 right

00:58:03.620 but

00:58:04.080 if you

00:58:05.520 think

00:58:05.780 differently

00:58:06.160 for a

00:58:06.500 moment

00:58:06.640 let me

00:58:06.900 sell

00:58:07.180 this

00:58:07.340 to

00:58:07.460 you

00:58:07.560 strategically

00:58:08.000 if you

00:58:09.880 were a

00:58:10.240 liberal

00:58:10.520 right now

00:58:11.180 what would

00:58:12.520 be the best

00:58:12.960 course of

00:58:13.360 action with

00:58:13.800 Donald Trump

00:58:14.220 you realize

00:58:15.540 that Donald

00:58:15.980 Trump is

00:58:16.320 going to do

00:58:16.720 things that

00:58:17.300 are conservative

00:58:18.220 and he's

00:58:19.700 going to do

00:58:20.040 things on the

00:58:20.460 border that

00:58:20.780 you're not

00:58:20.980 going to like

00:58:21.300 and you're

00:58:21.540 going to

00:58:21.700 oppose him

00:58:22.140 on those

00:58:22.380 things

00:58:22.620 however

00:58:23.300 if you're

00:58:24.220 smart

00:58:24.720 you don't

00:58:26.480 just come

00:58:27.200 out and

00:58:27.620 trash the

00:58:28.360 guy around

00:58:29.160 every corner

00:58:29.820 you say

00:58:30.860 to him

00:58:31.720 you know

00:58:32.660 what like

00:58:33.280 for example

00:58:34.020 this trillion

00:58:34.780 dollar stimulus

00:58:35.580 that you

00:58:35.980 want

00:58:36.240 there's a

00:58:37.240 lot of

00:58:37.580 things in

00:58:38.080 there that

00:58:39.180 would that

00:58:39.880 agree with

00:58:40.680 what I

00:58:41.100 want and

00:58:42.140 you would

00:58:42.480 not only

00:58:43.320 help him

00:58:45.020 along on

00:58:46.120 that process

00:58:46.760 but you'd

00:58:47.520 loudly sell

00:58:49.000 those things

00:58:49.680 to make

00:58:50.580 the process

00:58:51.500 easier for

00:58:52.340 him to pass

00:58:53.260 those parts

00:58:54.180 of his agenda

00:58:54.780 that would

00:58:55.380 help you

00:58:55.840 I think

00:58:57.100 everybody in

00:58:57.820 the audience

00:58:58.280 would agree

00:58:59.160 that would be

00:58:59.700 a smart

00:59:00.220 thing for a

00:59:01.180 liberal to do

00:59:01.740 right now

00:59:02.120 you would

00:59:03.460 find those

00:59:03.860 things and

00:59:04.260 there are

00:59:04.520 many where

00:59:05.000 Donald Trump

00:59:05.480 might agree

00:59:06.080 and I think

00:59:06.760 there are

00:59:07.220 those people

00:59:08.220 in Congress

00:59:09.520 that are

00:59:10.420 playing three

00:59:11.260 dimensional chess

00:59:12.160 that will get

00:59:12.700 there

00:59:12.960 the most

00:59:14.160 want to be

00:59:15.360 reelected

00:59:16.220 and want

00:59:17.020 their fundraising

00:59:17.860 and so they

00:59:18.720 will push

00:59:19.320 racism

00:59:20.320 they will push

00:59:21.660 fear

00:59:22.460 every step

00:59:23.580 of the way

00:59:23.940 because they

00:59:24.540 know that

00:59:25.540 their part

00:59:26.260 of the audience

00:59:27.120 does actually

00:59:28.780 have fear

00:59:29.420 so there's

00:59:29.860 two people

00:59:30.460 there are

00:59:31.420 those on

00:59:32.200 our side

00:59:32.980 that may

00:59:34.080 have been

00:59:34.440 pushing fear

00:59:35.180 just to sell

00:59:35.860 stuff

00:59:36.180 I was accused

00:59:37.500 of that all

00:59:37.920 the time

00:59:38.280 I'm consistent

00:59:39.940 Donald Trump

00:59:40.980 is in office

00:59:41.640 Donald Trump

00:59:42.440 anybody but

00:59:43.780 Jesus

00:59:44.280 could not

00:59:45.880 fix what

00:59:46.880 is coming

00:59:47.340 in our

00:59:47.780 economy

00:59:48.220 now maybe

00:59:49.020 I'm wrong

00:59:49.580 but we will

00:59:50.340 be the first

00:59:51.040 in human

00:59:51.720 history to

00:59:52.340 do it

00:59:52.740 so I

00:59:53.700 still say

00:59:54.440 crash

00:59:55.340 is coming

00:59:56.220 big crash

00:59:57.540 is coming

00:59:57.900 there are

00:59:58.600 some

00:59:58.900 that now

00:59:59.360 say

00:59:59.780 nothing

01:00:00.280 to fear

01:00:00.940 so then

01:00:02.540 were you

01:00:02.820 just

01:00:03.000 selling

01:00:03.280 fear

01:00:03.600 right

01:00:05.100 so

01:00:06.200 revisiting

01:00:07.520 this

01:00:07.720 quickly

01:00:08.360 though

01:00:08.600 you would

01:00:09.980 come and

01:00:10.360 say

01:00:10.780 I want

01:00:11.420 to help

01:00:11.960 him along

01:00:12.320 there

01:00:12.460 and you

01:00:12.760 know what

01:00:13.040 it would

01:00:13.320 hurt you

01:00:13.780 maybe

01:00:14.000 politically

01:00:14.460 it might

01:00:15.260 necessarily

01:00:15.840 not feel

01:00:16.280 good

01:00:16.540 you might

01:00:17.540 have people

01:00:17.940 pushing back

01:00:18.420 at you

01:00:18.620 and your

01:00:18.860 Twitter feed

01:00:19.300 might go

01:00:19.600 nuts

01:00:19.900 people will

01:00:20.840 be opposing

01:00:21.240 you

01:00:21.420 and you

01:00:21.620 say

01:00:21.700 why are you

01:00:22.100 helping

01:00:22.280 Donald

01:00:22.480 Trump

01:00:22.640 I don't

01:00:22.860 care

01:00:23.080 but you

01:00:23.780 know

01:00:24.000 in the

01:00:24.240 end

01:00:24.540 you're

01:00:24.820 getting

01:00:25.000 something

01:00:25.400 of

01:00:25.840 lasting

01:00:26.340 value

01:00:26.940 a proposal

01:00:28.520 that you're

01:00:28.980 going after

01:00:29.800 right

01:00:30.160 now let's

01:00:31.560 look at

01:00:31.740 this the

01:00:32.020 other way

01:00:32.340 there are

01:00:33.520 a lot

01:00:33.960 of liberals

01:00:34.520 out there

01:00:35.020 who are

01:00:35.760 suddenly

01:00:36.680 upset

01:00:37.580 about federal

01:00:38.520 government

01:00:38.860 power

01:00:39.200 they can't

01:00:40.220 believe

01:00:40.720 how there

01:00:41.540 could be

01:00:41.860 somebody

01:00:42.220 out there

01:00:42.780 who would

01:00:43.480 want

01:00:44.420 all of

01:00:45.460 this power

01:00:45.980 in the

01:00:46.960 middle

01:00:47.460 of the

01:00:48.180 executive

01:00:48.780 branch

01:00:49.320 because you

01:00:49.760 know what

01:00:50.080 right now

01:00:50.380 they don't

01:00:50.620 like the

01:00:50.880 executive

01:00:51.160 branch

01:00:51.480 it's easy

01:00:52.440 to come

01:00:52.700 out here

01:00:53.000 I think

01:00:53.300 and say

01:00:53.640 and I

01:00:54.160 think as

01:00:54.500 we are

01:00:54.800 all tempted

01:00:55.300 to do

01:00:55.640 just to say

01:00:56.180 good

01:00:56.600 and screw

01:00:57.000 you

01:00:57.360 which I

01:00:58.100 will

01:00:58.380 probably

01:00:59.060 do

01:00:59.300 privately

01:00:59.800 when you're

01:01:00.600 not around

01:01:01.120 but the

01:01:01.880 other part

01:01:02.260 of that

01:01:02.480 is

01:01:02.740 is there

01:01:03.720 are there

01:01:04.200 opportunities

01:01:04.740 to say

01:01:05.720 hey

01:01:06.300 there is

01:01:06.820 a long

01:01:07.460 lasting

01:01:08.000 benefit

01:01:08.500 for us

01:01:09.340 to look

01:01:09.780 at the

01:01:10.260 left

01:01:10.680 and there's

01:01:11.560 sudden

01:01:11.920 opposition

01:01:12.480 to federal

01:01:13.280 power

01:01:13.580 and lock

01:01:14.240 it in

01:01:14.760 now

01:01:15.220 while they

01:01:15.840 care

01:01:16.120 about it

01:01:16.520 yes

01:01:16.900 use

01:01:17.560 the

01:01:18.360 fake

01:01:19.080 momentum

01:01:19.760 of their

01:01:20.360 dislike

01:01:20.720 of Donald

01:01:21.200 Trump

01:01:21.580 oh yes

01:01:22.540 eat that

01:01:23.140 sandwich

01:01:23.580 I want

01:01:24.320 what you're

01:01:24.800 having

01:01:25.180 go

01:01:25.620 thank you

01:01:26.180 yes

01:01:26.740 and minimize

01:01:27.860 government

01:01:28.560 power

01:01:28.960 look for

01:01:29.580 ways to

01:01:30.020 shrink

01:01:30.680 government

01:01:31.260 because they

01:01:31.820 don't want

01:01:32.140 Donald Trump

01:01:32.600 to have it

01:01:33.000 who cares

01:01:33.480 why they

01:01:33.860 don't want

01:01:34.240 it

01:01:34.340 get it

01:01:35.000 passed

01:01:35.340 now

01:01:35.680 and lock

01:01:36.280 it in

01:01:36.800 so the

01:01:37.300 next 20

01:01:38.060 administrations

01:01:38.900 that want

01:01:39.220 to abuse

01:01:39.700 it have

01:01:40.360 to work

01:01:40.780 a lot

01:01:41.060 harder

01:01:41.360 to do

01:01:41.620 so then

01:01:42.640 you would

01:01:43.500 be making

01:01:44.160 a case

01:01:44.660 for like

01:01:45.160 an article

01:01:46.320 5 convention

01:01:47.560 I would

01:01:48.460 love an

01:01:48.900 article 5

01:01:49.560 that restrains

01:01:51.060 the federal

01:01:51.620 government

01:01:52.160 yes

01:01:52.920 and like

01:01:53.720 we have

01:01:54.760 so much

01:01:55.140 in common

01:01:55.520 we just

01:01:55.960 have to

01:01:56.280 learn how

01:01:56.720 to talk

01:01:57.280 to each

01:01:57.680 other

01:01:58.220 I mean

01:01:58.760 I hate

01:01:59.180 to say

01:01:59.440 this

01:01:59.620 to learn

01:02:00.160 strategically

01:02:00.840 learn from

01:02:01.700 Ted Kennedy

01:02:02.280 right

01:02:02.780 go back

01:02:03.840 to the

01:02:04.080 Bush

01:02:04.260 administration

01:02:04.720 for a

01:02:05.140 second

01:02:05.360 do you

01:02:06.060 think

01:02:06.300 if

01:02:06.700 Al Gore

01:02:07.500 was president

01:02:08.120 they would

01:02:08.660 have

01:02:08.780 been able

01:02:09.520 to lock

01:02:10.040 down

01:02:10.380 Medicare

01:02:10.760 prescription

01:02:11.340 drug

01:02:11.740 entitlements

01:02:12.180 no

01:02:12.720 because

01:02:13.180 every

01:02:13.660 Republican

01:02:14.280 would have

01:02:14.940 opposed

01:02:15.260 it

01:02:15.460 but when

01:02:16.260 George Bush

01:02:17.160 came up

01:02:17.500 with the

01:02:17.660 idea

01:02:17.900 I want

01:02:18.520 a new

01:02:18.940 entitlement

01:02:19.360 program

01:02:19.820 Ted Kennedy

01:02:20.780 and others

01:02:21.300 were smart

01:02:22.120 enough to say

01:02:22.660 I don't know

01:02:23.280 I'm a little

01:02:23.740 skeptical

01:02:24.220 but you know

01:02:24.740 let me work

01:02:25.320 with you

01:02:25.640 and see

01:02:25.980 what we

01:02:26.300 can find

01:02:26.840 when they

01:02:27.380 wanted an

01:02:27.780 expansion

01:02:28.300 of government

01:02:29.360 control

01:02:29.820 of education

01:02:30.720 what did

01:02:31.740 they do

01:02:32.120 they went

01:02:32.680 in there

01:02:32.900 and they

01:02:33.100 said

01:02:33.220 you know

01:02:33.520 what

01:02:33.760 we're

01:02:34.020 skeptical

01:02:34.500 but let's

01:02:35.360 try this

01:02:35.820 no child

01:02:36.320 left behind

01:02:36.900 thing

01:02:37.160 and see

01:02:37.400 if we can

01:02:37.740 get some

01:02:38.140 of these

01:02:38.380 standards

01:02:38.860 put in

01:02:39.240 there

01:02:39.400 I'm gonna

01:02:40.240 put on

01:02:40.800 my best

01:02:41.200 hat

01:02:41.460 and trust

01:02:41.880 you guys

01:02:42.400 even though

01:02:43.020 I'm not

01:02:43.360 always with

01:02:43.880 you

01:02:44.060 and what

01:02:44.980 they got

01:02:45.360 is a

01:02:45.700 long

01:02:46.320 lasting

01:02:47.320 expansion

01:02:49.100 of government

01:02:49.900 in multiple

01:02:50.560 major areas

01:02:51.660 and we

01:02:53.040 should be

01:02:53.360 looking at

01:02:53.700 that the

01:02:54.020 same way

01:02:54.580 yes

01:02:55.220 in some

01:02:58.760 ways

01:02:59.040 though

01:02:59.340 the

01:02:59.900 right

01:03:00.160 can't

01:03:00.500 even

01:03:00.700 talk

01:03:01.160 to

01:03:01.440 the

01:03:01.900 right

01:03:02.260 and I

01:03:03.280 think

01:03:03.900 last night's

01:03:05.020 appearance

01:03:05.520 with Tucker

01:03:06.180 Carlson

01:03:06.640 you are so

01:03:07.160 wrong on this

01:03:07.760 sort of

01:03:08.680 proof of that

01:03:09.840 you talked

01:03:11.080 to him

01:03:11.380 really well

01:03:11.860 and I

01:03:12.760 think he

01:03:13.300 I think

01:03:14.440 he was

01:03:15.420 trying to

01:03:16.840 he was

01:03:17.700 trying to

01:03:18.120 incite violence

01:03:18.960 there

01:03:19.200 he was

01:03:20.640 trying to

01:03:20.940 incite violence

01:03:21.700 incite talk

01:03:22.700 show violence

01:03:23.180 there was

01:03:25.460 nothing to

01:03:25.740 have violence

01:03:26.460 over

01:03:26.740 so Glenn

01:03:28.900 you said

01:03:29.740 that

01:03:30.100 Glenn Beck

01:03:31.240 during the

01:03:32.480 campaign

01:03:32.980 said that

01:03:33.680 Ted Cruz

01:03:34.500 was anointed

01:03:35.600 by God

01:03:36.540 play it

01:03:37.100 so you

01:03:37.520 hear his

01:03:38.060 tone

01:03:39.460 in support

01:03:43.900 of rival

01:03:44.360 candidate

01:03:44.700 Ted Cruz

01:03:45.360 whom he

01:03:45.820 said was

01:03:46.100 anointed

01:03:46.540 by God

01:03:47.160 to stop

01:03:47.720 Trump

01:03:48.080 one point

01:03:48.900 he predicted

01:03:49.340 that four

01:03:49.860 years of a

01:03:50.340 Trump presidency

01:03:51.060 would lead

01:03:51.900 to civil war

01:03:52.960 or worse

01:03:53.540 his exhortations

01:03:54.720 went unheeded

01:03:55.420 and a Trump

01:03:55.940 presidency

01:03:56.400 is 11 days

01:03:57.460 away

01:03:57.840 his what

01:03:58.420 what went

01:03:59.120 unheeded

01:03:59.480 exhortations

01:04:00.080 exhortations

01:04:00.800 went unheeded

01:04:01.960 yeah so

01:04:02.500 but

01:04:03.080 well we don't

01:04:03.980 isn't that

01:04:04.460 an accurate

01:04:04.980 isn't that

01:04:05.420 exactly what

01:04:06.200 happened

01:04:06.740 well

01:04:07.380 to some degree

01:04:08.440 and I

01:04:08.800 correct it

01:04:09.340 now listen

01:04:09.740 so where's

01:04:10.500 Glenn Beck

01:04:10.860 on all of

01:04:11.220 this now

01:04:11.660 Glenn Beck

01:04:12.320 joins us

01:04:12.880 tonight

01:04:13.480 Glenn great

01:04:14.220 to see you

01:04:14.820 good to see

01:04:15.900 you

01:04:16.040 okay

01:04:16.660 that's a

01:04:17.400 different tone

01:04:17.960 all right

01:04:18.580 that's a

01:04:19.020 different tone

01:04:19.540 he was

01:04:20.040 he was

01:04:21.440 reporting the

01:04:22.240 facts as

01:04:22.980 he saw

01:04:23.400 Glenn good to see you

01:04:24.440 uh-huh

01:04:25.040 yeah

01:04:25.240 first of all

01:04:25.880 let me say

01:04:26.300 congratulations on

01:04:27.200 your new show

01:04:27.800 and I'm honored

01:04:28.580 that you would

01:04:28.900 ask me to be on

01:04:29.600 on your first show

01:04:31.060 let me just

01:04:31.620 clarify a couple

01:04:32.340 things

01:04:32.620 you bet

01:04:33.900 never said he was

01:04:35.100 anointed by God

01:04:36.200 to be president

01:04:36.760 of the United States

01:04:37.420 I do believe

01:04:38.440 that people

01:04:39.040 are called

01:04:40.520 all of us are

01:04:41.280 you're called

01:04:41.900 for your job

01:04:42.480 I'm called

01:04:42.820 for my job

01:04:43.420 all of us are

01:04:44.380 called for a

01:04:44.920 specific time

01:04:45.620 that doesn't mean

01:04:46.720 that

01:04:47.040 nice explanation

01:04:47.900 of that by the way

01:04:48.620 he's the only one

01:04:49.940 that can do it

01:04:50.600 it doesn't mean

01:04:51.360 any of that

01:04:52.020 and it certainly

01:04:52.600 doesn't mean

01:04:53.220 that God's gonna

01:04:54.460 make that happen

01:04:55.140 we have to all

01:04:56.360 play our roles

01:04:57.100 so I appreciate

01:04:59.000 what you said

01:04:59.780 but it's not

01:05:00.500 exactly this

01:05:01.260 what it meant

01:05:02.320 interesting there's

01:05:03.080 no clarification

01:05:03.740 this morning

01:05:04.480 on the drudge report

01:05:05.400 who continually said

01:05:06.560 Glenn Beck

01:05:07.860 Ted Cruz

01:05:08.880 anointed by God

01:05:09.940 and then the actual

01:05:12.380 actual explanation

01:05:13.420 of it

01:05:14.000 well I think I

01:05:14.720 remember it pretty well

01:05:15.700 you said you've been

01:05:16.420 praying for and with

01:05:18.000 Ted Cruz

01:05:19.200 and that you had

01:05:19.900 heard that you

01:05:20.940 believe that God

01:05:21.560 had called him

01:05:22.100 forward at this time

01:05:23.140 and so I just

01:05:23.800 my question is

01:05:24.820 really simple

01:05:25.300 just explain

01:05:25.960 and I'm not attacking

01:05:26.860 I'm just wondering

01:05:27.360 because he didn't win

01:05:28.880 and Trump did win

01:05:30.000 did it shake your faith

01:05:31.840 and what lessons

01:05:33.020 spiritual lessons

01:05:33.960 did you take from that

01:05:34.880 no

01:05:35.240 none

01:05:37.060 I think that

01:05:38.200 all of us

01:05:39.340 are called by God

01:05:40.420 this kind of

01:05:41.000 and Tucker

01:05:41.360 you know this

01:05:42.440 all of us

01:05:45.040 are called by God

01:05:46.240 to do certain things

01:05:47.520 and sometimes

01:05:48.800 those things mean

01:05:49.980 just take a stand

01:05:51.180 it doesn't mean

01:05:51.940 that what you think

01:05:53.740 is going to work out

01:05:54.660 is worked out

01:05:55.340 just you're called

01:05:56.720 for this time

01:05:57.420 so what

01:05:58.120 so what is

01:05:58.780 so how would you

01:06:00.100 have responded

01:06:00.620 to that Pat

01:06:01.380 I think he's responded

01:06:02.240 well

01:06:02.380 responded the way

01:06:03.180 you would have

01:06:03.600 I mean that was

01:06:04.060 a good response

01:06:04.980 so by the end of this

01:06:06.580 we walk away

01:06:07.420 we walk away

01:06:08.340 fine with each other

01:06:09.120 we walk away

01:06:09.660 friends

01:06:10.060 we he made his

01:06:12.140 points that he

01:06:12.780 wanted to make

01:06:13.460 yes

01:06:13.960 which we're all

01:06:15.100 trying to trip you up

01:06:17.120 or you could say

01:06:18.160 that they were all

01:06:19.180 legitimate things

01:06:20.100 that people have said

01:06:21.020 about me

01:06:21.400 in the last year

01:06:22.260 yeah the left

01:06:23.060 give me

01:06:24.040 and give me

01:06:25.600 a chance

01:06:26.300 to respond to them

01:06:27.380 in a

01:06:28.680 in a non-hostile

01:06:29.940 atmosphere

01:06:30.420 so you're saying

01:06:31.700 this is a

01:06:32.400 Bill O'Reilly-esque

01:06:34.440 I don't know

01:06:35.480 I don't know Tucker

01:06:36.400 right

01:06:36.940 that's why I'm saying

01:06:38.000 I listened to Tucker

01:06:39.080 last night

01:06:39.600 I thought they were

01:06:40.380 I thought they were

01:06:41.460 odd questions

01:06:42.200 only because

01:06:42.880 that's not what

01:06:43.380 I would have

01:06:43.720 started with

01:06:44.320 right

01:06:44.620 I wouldn't have

01:06:45.660 started my first

01:06:46.200 show with

01:06:46.700 you know

01:06:47.400 hey Glenn

01:06:47.880 I've got some

01:06:48.360 philosophical questions

01:06:49.440 about your business

01:06:50.380 especially from six

01:06:51.500 months ago

01:06:52.020 right

01:06:52.400 I just wouldn't

01:06:53.060 have done that

01:06:53.420 but I don't know

01:06:55.020 Tucker

01:06:55.360 and it ended up

01:06:56.580 a really good

01:06:57.700 conversation

01:06:58.440 and he was

01:06:59.160 I thought he was

01:06:59.980 polite to me

01:07:00.680 and I tried to be

01:07:01.560 polite to him

01:07:02.140 yeah he wasn't

01:07:02.640 screaming at you

01:07:03.300 right

01:07:03.480 and so

01:07:04.140 there was serious

01:07:05.960 intent though

01:07:06.560 I guess your point

01:07:07.660 I guess

01:07:08.200 my point is the

01:07:09.220 intent

01:07:09.740 which was

01:07:10.740 malignant

01:07:11.860 the intent

01:07:13.380 didn't seem to

01:07:15.100 matter

01:07:15.440 because

01:07:16.380 we all

01:07:17.780 were reasonable

01:07:20.520 with each other

01:07:21.320 and I didn't

01:07:22.520 assume the

01:07:23.480 worst of him

01:07:24.180 and so the

01:07:25.260 intent

01:07:25.660 if that was his

01:07:26.780 intent

01:07:27.140 it didn't matter

01:07:28.180 yeah

01:07:28.600 it didn't matter

01:07:29.520 I think you

01:07:29.900 diffused

01:07:30.340 it's clear

01:07:30.780 he looked good

01:07:32.160 I looked good

01:07:33.200 what's the problem

01:07:34.040 it's clear both in

01:07:34.780 your response

01:07:35.300 and in your

01:07:35.980 segment currently

01:07:36.860 going on

01:07:37.460 on the air

01:07:38.360 right now

01:07:39.020 on the show

01:07:39.460 that we're

01:07:39.700 speaking on

01:07:40.360 you are doing

01:07:41.260 your best

01:07:41.860 to not

01:07:42.720 think

01:07:43.660 which is

01:07:45.280 I think

01:07:45.800 a good way

01:07:46.500 to handle it

01:07:46.980 that's what

01:07:47.660 we have to do

01:07:48.960 yeah

01:07:49.260 if we don't

01:07:50.340 you could have

01:07:50.580 obviously

01:07:50.940 I mean because

01:07:51.740 look I mean

01:07:52.180 it's kind of

01:07:52.620 a BS premise

01:07:53.340 to come in

01:07:53.880 and hear and say

01:07:54.400 hey you said

01:07:55.780 you know

01:07:56.280 you say you

01:07:56.900 believe in God

01:07:57.580 you said God

01:07:58.080 was going to

01:07:58.400 make Ted Cruz

01:07:59.100 president

01:07:59.520 and you lost

01:08:00.180 is God real

01:08:01.020 I mean it's

01:08:01.460 essentially the

01:08:01.920 premise of his

01:08:02.340 question

01:08:02.460 you could have

01:08:02.900 said

01:08:03.120 however

01:08:03.500 let's talk

01:08:04.160 about some

01:08:04.480 of the things

01:08:04.840 you said

01:08:05.340 during the

01:08:05.660 campaign

01:08:05.940 Tucker

01:08:06.180 let's go

01:08:06.660 down that

01:08:07.020 road

01:08:07.200 I'm just

01:08:09.880 saying

01:08:10.200 you could

01:08:10.620 have done

01:08:10.860 we agree

01:08:11.480 that I think

01:08:11.980 your approach

01:08:12.820 is much

01:08:13.100 better than

01:08:13.620 much better

01:08:14.080 and I think

01:08:14.860 it is a change

01:08:15.940 it's not what

01:08:16.700 you would normally

01:08:17.180 expect

01:08:17.500 I think

01:08:17.900 you know

01:08:18.460 from what I

01:08:18.960 understand

01:08:19.240 I haven't

01:08:19.500 watched tons

01:08:19.980 of Tucker's

01:08:20.520 show

01:08:20.700 but I mean

01:08:21.040 what he's

01:08:21.740 done

01:08:22.060 what he's

01:08:23.420 done

01:08:23.560 had a

01:08:24.840 pick up

01:08:25.320 in media

01:08:25.740 and social

01:08:26.100 media

01:08:26.320 has been

01:08:26.640 essentially

01:08:27.140 him fighting

01:08:27.620 with a lot

01:08:27.980 of people

01:08:28.320 and I think

01:08:28.940 that's kind

01:08:29.520 of his

01:08:30.060 his you know

01:08:31.140 approach

01:08:32.220 to that

01:08:32.740 format

01:08:33.160 and you

01:08:34.300 kind of

01:08:34.700 went a different

01:08:35.120 way

01:08:35.380 and it still

01:08:35.800 resulted in

01:08:36.320 a good

01:08:36.540 segment

01:08:36.840 so there's

01:08:37.360 everybody

01:08:37.840 wins

01:08:38.240 right

01:08:38.480 right

01:08:38.920 I think

01:08:39.320 that's a

01:08:39.560 good thing

01:08:39.960 you know

01:08:40.480 and there's

01:08:40.760 no reason

01:08:41.300 you can't

01:08:41.600 have a

01:08:41.800 conversation

01:08:42.220 I wrote

01:08:43.460 to Tucker

01:08:43.820 afterwards

01:08:44.220 and thanked

01:08:44.680 him for

01:08:45.100 the interview

01:08:45.960 and said

01:08:46.580 there's no

01:08:47.300 reason for

01:08:47.940 us even

01:08:48.480 if we disagree

01:08:49.000 on policies

01:08:50.020 principles

01:08:51.100 we have

01:08:51.580 there's no

01:08:52.060 reason for

01:08:52.720 us to come

01:08:53.380 at each

01:08:53.680 other

01:08:53.900 and anything

01:08:54.340 I can do

01:08:54.800 to help

01:08:55.140 you

01:08:55.360 I stand

01:08:56.520 ready to

01:08:56.880 help

01:08:57.060 you

01:08:57.240 and that's

01:08:58.520 we have

01:08:59.780 to do

01:09:00.300 that

01:09:00.680 because we

01:09:01.440 have a

01:09:01.740 historic

01:09:02.300 opportunity

01:09:02.960 right now

01:09:03.700 and I

01:09:04.260 don't know

01:09:04.520 if we get

01:09:04.880 another

01:09:05.140 chance

01:09:05.580 I don't

01:09:06.980 know

01:09:07.280 if we

01:09:08.840 if we

01:09:09.820 just continue

01:09:10.760 the same

01:09:11.340 fight over

01:09:12.060 the next

01:09:12.340 four or

01:09:12.740 eight years

01:09:13.240 what happens

01:09:15.580 to us

01:09:16.060 in 2020

01:09:17.200 or 2024

01:09:17.800 I don't

01:09:18.540 know

01:09:18.780 but I

01:09:19.880 don't think

01:09:20.140 it's good

01:09:20.680 I don't

01:09:20.920 think it

01:09:21.160 just gets

01:09:21.540 miraculously

01:09:22.240 better

01:09:39.580 last night

01:09:40.320 what kind

01:09:40.880 of president

01:09:41.200 do you think

01:09:41.580 Trump will

01:09:41.900 make

01:09:42.180 I don't

01:09:43.540 know

01:09:43.720 I'm

01:09:43.900 excited

01:09:44.200 to see

01:09:44.700 I think

01:09:46.080 the

01:09:46.580 appointments

01:09:47.860 that he

01:09:48.320 has made

01:09:48.840 some of

01:09:49.240 them

01:09:49.380 are

01:09:49.600 some

01:09:50.000 of

01:09:50.120 them

01:09:50.220 are

01:09:50.340 good

01:09:50.540 some

01:09:50.760 of

01:09:50.860 the

01:09:50.940 things

01:09:51.140 I'm

01:09:51.340 concerned

01:09:51.680 about

01:09:51.960 but

01:09:52.220 I haven't

01:09:52.980 said

01:09:53.200 anything

01:09:53.900 or I've

01:09:54.760 tried

01:09:55.000 not to

01:09:55.380 say

01:09:55.580 anything

01:09:56.120 negative

01:09:57.580 about him

01:09:58.840 since the

01:10:00.000 election

01:10:00.420 I've tried

01:10:01.200 unless there

01:10:02.500 was something

01:10:03.040 that was

01:10:04.060 important to

01:10:04.800 say

01:10:05.020 I want

01:10:05.540 to see

01:10:05.820 the man

01:10:06.160 in action

01:10:06.600 we have

01:10:07.600 I gave

01:10:08.080 him the

01:10:08.500 same thing

01:10:08.960 that I said

01:10:09.360 about Barack

01:10:09.900 Obama

01:10:10.240 the election

01:10:11.940 is over

01:10:12.720 and we

01:10:14.000 fought hard

01:10:14.900 and that's

01:10:15.760 the time

01:10:16.180 to fight

01:10:16.640 hard

01:10:17.000 at the

01:10:17.340 primary

01:10:17.820 and then

01:10:18.300 the election

01:10:18.780 now he

01:10:19.960 has to be

01:10:20.580 all of our

01:10:21.260 presidents

01:10:21.820 and the

01:10:22.540 last president

01:10:24.580 I don't feel

01:10:25.980 ever reached

01:10:26.760 out to do

01:10:27.360 that

01:10:27.720 from Tucker

01:11:34.100 well the new

01:11:35.680 GOP Congress

01:11:36.480 has now twice

01:11:37.700 tried to bring

01:11:39.060 pork barrel

01:11:39.920 spending back

01:11:40.860 if you think

01:11:42.360 that the

01:11:43.240 deficit was a

01:11:44.040 problem under

01:11:44.960 George Bush

01:11:46.500 and then under

01:11:47.960 Barack Obama

01:11:48.700 can you be

01:11:50.420 consistent enough

01:11:51.240 to say it's

01:11:52.180 still a problem

01:11:53.400 so many people

01:11:54.500 said it wasn't

01:11:55.740 a problem under

01:11:56.480 George Bush

01:11:57.200 and we fought

01:11:58.240 about that

01:11:58.580 then everybody

01:11:58.940 switched places

01:11:59.740 and then the

01:12:00.460 people who were

01:12:00.860 saying it was

01:12:01.500 a problem

01:12:01.980 and in fact

01:12:02.440 un-American

01:12:03.180 to have that

01:12:03.760 kind of debt

01:12:04.180 all of a sudden

01:12:04.800 forgot about it

01:12:05.540 as it doubled

01:12:06.520 under this

01:12:07.380 administration

01:12:07.960 what do you say

01:12:08.880 we stick to

01:12:09.460 principles

01:12:10.100 article 5

01:12:11.720 of the

01:12:51.680 convention

01:12:52.240 constitutionofstates.com

01:12:54.300 welcome Mark

01:12:55.300 how are you

01:12:55.720 I'm glad to be here

01:12:56.960 always better

01:12:57.460 when I'm in Texas

01:12:58.060 yeah I know

01:12:58.760 we were just

01:12:59.520 talking about

01:13:00.200 this

01:13:01.920 historic

01:13:03.160 opportunity

01:13:03.900 you know

01:13:04.400 the confirmation

01:13:05.440 hearings are

01:13:06.040 happening this

01:13:06.540 week

01:13:06.760 and a lot

01:13:07.680 of liberals

01:13:08.060 are really

01:13:08.820 freaked

01:13:09.440 and I'm not

01:13:11.060 talking about

01:13:11.340 the ones

01:13:11.800 that are

01:13:12.140 in Congress

01:13:13.160 because I

01:13:13.640 think they'll

01:13:13.940 play to

01:13:14.300 anybody

01:13:14.680 who will

01:13:15.240 give them

01:13:16.160 their power

01:13:16.620 but the

01:13:17.880 average person

01:13:18.860 is

01:13:19.980 for the

01:13:20.860 first time

01:13:21.500 in eight years

01:13:22.140 afraid of

01:13:22.880 exactly the

01:13:23.740 same things

01:13:24.360 we were

01:13:25.000 afraid of

01:13:25.640 right

01:13:26.220 it's really

01:13:27.180 interesting how

01:13:27.820 the narratives

01:13:28.300 converge

01:13:28.800 you know

01:13:29.140 I'm from

01:13:29.440 California

01:13:30.020 and suddenly

01:13:31.000 in California

01:13:31.620 you have

01:13:31.940 people on

01:13:32.320 the left

01:13:32.580 talking about

01:13:33.480 nullification

01:13:34.540 and secession

01:13:35.580 which apparently

01:13:36.800 was the

01:13:37.320 province of

01:13:37.860 the right

01:13:38.180 wing crazy

01:13:38.780 fringe

01:13:39.200 is now

01:13:39.620 the province

01:13:40.060 of the

01:13:40.360 left wing

01:13:40.820 crazy

01:13:41.320 fringe

01:13:41.540 everything

01:13:41.940 comes full

01:13:42.580 circle

01:13:42.880 correct

01:13:43.160 so I'm

01:13:43.940 talking to

01:13:44.240 my friends

01:13:44.640 who are

01:13:44.920 telling me

01:13:45.260 great things

01:13:45.920 from inside

01:13:46.920 of the

01:13:47.420 Trump

01:13:47.940 administration

01:13:48.440 that they're

01:13:49.020 going to make

01:13:49.320 some real

01:13:49.660 changes etc

01:13:50.340 etc

01:13:51.500 keep saying

01:13:52.060 but they're

01:13:53.620 not structural

01:13:54.900 changes

01:13:55.480 they're not

01:13:56.100 that is

01:13:56.640 just reversing

01:13:58.220 legislation

01:13:58.880 or reversing

01:13:59.780 executive orders

01:14:00.760 we have to

01:14:02.100 have

01:14:02.540 constitutional

01:14:03.940 changes

01:14:04.540 otherwise

01:14:05.200 we're going to

01:14:05.760 play this

01:14:06.200 back and forth

01:14:06.800 every two or

01:14:07.320 eight years

01:14:07.800 or four or

01:14:08.460 eight years

01:14:08.920 you know

01:14:09.520 I'm in the

01:14:09.960 fight for

01:14:10.500 my kids

01:14:11.140 and my

01:14:11.720 grandkids

01:14:12.160 and our

01:14:12.440 posterity

01:14:13.140 and you're

01:14:13.900 exactly right

01:14:14.500 even if

01:14:15.400 we presume

01:14:16.140 that we're

01:14:16.400 going to get

01:14:16.680 great stuff

01:14:17.240 out of this

01:14:17.660 administration

01:14:18.200 it's temporary

01:14:19.300 because that

01:14:19.880 pendulum will

01:14:20.560 swing

01:14:20.880 you know

01:14:21.440 we all

01:14:21.720 looked at

01:14:22.000 the map

01:14:22.340 the red

01:14:22.720 map

01:14:22.980 with excitement

01:14:23.500 after the

01:14:23.980 election

01:14:24.300 if you take

01:14:25.040 that same

01:14:25.420 map and

01:14:25.820 look at it

01:14:26.220 and only

01:14:26.680 count voters

01:14:27.380 age 18

01:14:28.120 to 35

01:14:28.720 entire map

01:14:30.040 is blue

01:14:30.440 so you're

01:14:31.440 going to see

01:14:31.820 some demographic

01:14:32.500 shift in this

01:14:33.280 country over

01:14:33.900 time

01:14:34.400 and if we

01:14:35.240 don't make

01:14:35.620 the structural

01:14:36.300 changes that

01:14:37.040 protect liberty

01:14:37.820 then we're

01:14:38.720 in trouble

01:14:39.040 and that's

01:14:39.360 what the

01:14:39.600 founders knew

01:14:40.080 right

01:14:40.240 they knew

01:14:40.520 it was about

01:14:40.900 structure

01:14:41.460 not about

01:14:42.180 people

01:14:42.560 so tell

01:14:44.160 me some

01:14:44.440 of the

01:14:44.600 new things

01:14:45.060 that are

01:14:45.260 happening

01:14:45.680 you know

01:14:47.660 when we

01:14:48.200 talked to

01:14:48.620 you it was

01:14:48.880 just before

01:14:50.120 the election

01:14:50.680 I think

01:14:51.280 yeah it was

01:14:51.800 right before

01:14:52.200 the election

01:14:52.600 and now

01:14:53.640 so now tell

01:14:54.240 me what's

01:14:54.620 happening on

01:14:55.180 the ground

01:14:55.480 is there

01:14:55.860 is there

01:14:56.360 more steam

01:14:57.040 to get

01:14:57.340 there

01:14:57.600 less steam

01:14:58.300 yeah there's

01:14:58.900 a lot more

01:14:59.380 steam

01:14:59.680 and I think

01:15:00.140 because the

01:15:00.740 public sentiment

01:15:01.480 in the country

01:15:02.160 is just

01:15:02.820 continuing to

01:15:03.440 be anti-DC

01:15:04.300 and now again

01:15:05.640 this weird

01:15:06.060 alignment

01:15:06.420 both sides

01:15:07.120 are anti-DC

01:15:07.920 folks on the

01:15:08.980 right we've

01:15:09.360 always been

01:15:09.800 skeptical of

01:15:10.620 concentrated power

01:15:11.660 at the

01:15:11.880 federal government

01:15:12.360 level

01:15:12.720 folks on the

01:15:13.620 left are now

01:15:14.080 jumping on that

01:15:14.700 bandwagon talking

01:15:15.420 about states

01:15:15.960 rights and

01:15:16.480 federalism for

01:15:17.180 the first time

01:15:17.760 so you have

01:15:18.680 this sort of

01:15:19.100 unity of

01:15:19.760 narrative

01:15:20.100 different purpose

01:15:21.040 coming out of

01:15:21.620 the narrative

01:15:21.980 but a unity

01:15:22.640 of narrative

01:15:23.260 what's the

01:15:23.960 purpose from

01:15:24.560 the left

01:15:24.880 well from the

01:15:25.420 left is just

01:15:26.120 it's to defend

01:15:27.440 themselves against

01:15:28.300 Donald Trump

01:15:29.020 and federal

01:15:29.920 overreach

01:15:30.440 I mean a lot

01:15:30.880 of the things

01:15:31.260 that we say

01:15:31.840 conservatives we

01:15:33.160 want to defend

01:15:33.660 ourselves against

01:15:34.200 the federal

01:15:34.500 government all

01:15:35.000 the time

01:15:35.440 in the image

01:15:36.080 of the founders

01:15:36.720 the left it's

01:15:37.780 about personality

01:15:38.760 and people

01:15:39.500 and so now

01:15:39.960 they fear Trump

01:15:40.920 they fear

01:15:41.440 Republican

01:15:42.360 Congress

01:15:42.720 they fear

01:15:43.420 these people

01:15:44.000 coming through

01:15:44.420 these confirmation

01:15:45.000 hearings they fear

01:15:45.900 a conservative

01:15:46.460 Supreme Court

01:15:47.260 so now they're on

01:15:48.820 the bandwagon at

01:15:49.740 least temporarily

01:15:50.340 about federalism

01:15:51.640 so do you trust

01:15:54.860 the people that are

01:15:55.760 getting involved

01:15:56.580 because you know

01:15:58.260 we have been

01:15:59.300 very leery of a

01:16:02.740 hijack which last

01:16:03.840 time you were here

01:16:04.420 you explained

01:16:05.060 cannot happen

01:16:06.360 it just it

01:16:07.380 cannot happen

01:16:08.560 because of the

01:16:09.980 laws and the

01:16:10.700 and the rules

01:16:11.340 of the of article

01:16:12.840 five but are

01:16:15.480 there any states

01:16:16.280 like California

01:16:17.000 that I guess

01:16:18.600 they would be

01:16:18.940 alone wouldn't

01:16:19.500 they I mean if

01:16:20.100 they came up with

01:16:20.740 their own list of

01:16:21.480 things and it

01:16:22.540 wasn't it wasn't

01:16:23.900 the same then

01:16:24.660 well and they

01:16:25.500 will come up

01:16:26.140 with their list

01:16:26.840 of things and

01:16:27.400 they will attempt

01:16:28.040 to introduce them

01:16:28.840 at any convention

01:16:29.620 and if they're not

01:16:30.640 germane if they

01:16:31.380 don't fit the

01:16:32.060 rails that have

01:16:32.580 been set for

01:16:33.020 convention

01:16:33.400 somebody from

01:16:34.600 Texas or

01:16:35.640 North Carolina

01:16:36.760 will stand up

01:16:37.320 and object that

01:16:37.860 it's not germane

01:16:38.560 and it will be

01:16:39.000 ruled out of order

01:16:39.720 and and the

01:16:40.520 convention

01:16:40.800 Texas could say

01:16:41.800 you know we

01:16:42.640 we move to

01:16:43.460 we move for

01:16:44.620 secession and

01:16:45.980 and it would

01:16:46.540 it's not germane

01:16:47.740 right and so

01:16:48.480 so that will be

01:16:49.120 objected to and

01:16:49.840 it'll move on

01:16:50.280 you know we saw

01:16:50.920 sort of the

01:16:51.380 ultimate example

01:16:52.100 of that this

01:16:52.580 week I thought

01:16:53.000 it was really

01:16:53.380 interesting to

01:16:54.020 see of all

01:16:54.620 people Joe

01:16:55.660 Biden shut

01:16:56.560 down the

01:16:57.020 protests over

01:16:57.740 the count on

01:16:58.360 the electoral

01:16:58.780 college right

01:16:59.480 and he basically

01:17:00.340 said look there

01:17:01.340 are rules it's

01:17:02.280 game over we

01:17:03.020 follow the rules

01:17:03.780 it's an

01:17:04.240 institutional thing

01:17:05.260 and he shut

01:17:06.100 down the protests

01:17:06.820 in Congress over

01:17:07.600 the electoral

01:17:08.020 college count so

01:17:08.780 rules work

01:17:09.900 institutions work

01:17:10.980 this is the way

01:17:11.540 our country is

01:17:12.000 set up we've

01:17:12.380 survived a lot

01:17:13.040 of crises we

01:17:14.160 know how to do

01:17:14.580 this kind of

01:17:15.020 stuff in this

01:17:15.520 country so what

01:17:16.280 are the states

01:17:16.800 that are moving

01:17:17.340 where do you

01:17:17.940 need help

01:17:18.340 well I think to

01:17:19.640 me the most

01:17:20.680 important state

01:17:21.180 I'm not saying

01:17:21.640 it just because

01:17:22.040 I'm here is

01:17:22.440 Texas Texas is

01:17:23.560 big Texas leads

01:17:24.560 the way in the

01:17:25.360 south and the

01:17:25.880 midwest always other

01:17:27.000 states look to

01:17:27.640 Texas it's really

01:17:29.180 extraordinary what's

01:17:29.960 happened in the

01:17:30.460 state of Texas

01:17:31.060 they've named the

01:17:32.580 resolution in the

01:17:33.400 senate SJR 2

01:17:34.640 the second joint

01:17:35.960 resolution that's a

01:17:36.860 priority the first

01:17:38.300 one is reserved by

01:17:39.100 the way for

01:17:39.560 Texas constitutional

01:17:40.720 matters specifically

01:17:41.580 in Texas so we

01:17:42.940 are the very first

01:17:44.220 priority outside of

01:17:45.200 the Texas

01:17:45.560 constitution by the

01:17:47.060 way that same

01:17:47.440 things happen in all

01:17:48.160 over the country in

01:17:48.880 Utah we we've got a

01:17:50.120 low priority number

01:17:51.080 just found out in

01:17:52.300 Missouri we've got a

01:17:53.000 low priority number

01:17:53.760 those are three states

01:17:54.840 that for me are really

01:17:55.700 important right now

01:17:56.520 Texas Utah and

01:17:57.740 Missouri likely to

01:17:58.920 happen early very

01:17:59.940 high priority states

01:18:00.820 for us so what is

01:18:02.300 the what is the

01:18:03.420 word because I have

01:18:04.280 heard that here in

01:18:05.240 Texas there are many

01:18:07.780 in the GOP who

01:18:09.200 are again kind of

01:18:10.600 the progressive arm

01:18:11.920 of the GOP saying

01:18:13.360 it's not so bad we

01:18:14.600 don't need to have

01:18:15.420 this now are we

01:18:17.620 making are we who's

01:18:19.020 winning on that

01:18:19.780 argument I think we

01:18:21.520 those who say we

01:18:22.280 need to have it now

01:18:22.900 are winning but I

01:18:23.720 think there are those

01:18:24.260 who are saying that

01:18:24.780 and to be fair there

01:18:25.840 are even some good

01:18:26.520 conservatives who are

01:18:27.360 saying that they're

01:18:27.960 excited by the fact

01:18:28.780 that Trump has taken

01:18:29.580 office they're hearing

01:18:30.760 the same things that

01:18:31.380 you and I are hearing

01:18:31.980 from the transition

01:18:32.720 team what I say

01:18:34.200 about that is you

01:18:35.260 know this with all

01:18:36.020 due respect to the

01:18:36.820 Trump administration

01:18:37.620 be don't be Trump

01:18:39.740 drunk and what I

01:18:41.100 mean by Trump drunk

01:18:42.020 is if you think

01:18:43.520 things are going to

01:18:44.040 change then you're

01:18:44.660 not looking at

01:18:45.180 Congress right this

01:18:46.280 is the exact same

01:18:48.000 Congress that didn't

01:18:49.400 stand against

01:18:49.960 Obamacare this is

01:18:51.160 the exact same

01:18:52.240 Congress same

01:18:52.860 leadership that

01:18:53.400 didn't stand against

01:18:54.420 illegal unconstitutional

01:18:55.980 executive amnesty so

01:18:57.920 the idea that these

01:18:58.640 guys are suddenly going

01:18:59.440 to get a spine all we

01:19:00.260 have to do is look

01:19:00.860 what they try to do

01:19:01.640 with the ethics

01:19:02.560 office look what

01:19:03.280 they just tried to do

01:19:04.140 with the pork barrel

01:19:05.100 spending and earmarks

01:19:06.380 same Congress so the

01:19:07.840 idea that suddenly

01:19:08.400 we're going to have a

01:19:09.020 magical transformation

01:19:10.080 in Washington DC if

01:19:11.700 you believe that then

01:19:12.640 you're Trump drunk

01:19:13.480 and anybody who is a

01:19:16.300 real conservative

01:19:17.140 should even if if I

01:19:20.600 had Ronald Reagan in

01:19:21.760 the office I would

01:19:22.780 still be for article

01:19:24.380 five and and I would

01:19:26.100 think Ronald Reagan

01:19:26.820 would be for article

01:19:27.700 five as well in fact

01:19:28.860 he was and he spoke

01:19:29.880 about it and he was in

01:19:31.020 favor of article five

01:19:32.220 and look Reagan the

01:19:33.680 great conservative

01:19:34.540 icon with everything

01:19:35.720 he tried to do and

01:19:36.560 everything he said he

01:19:37.480 was going to do was

01:19:38.040 such a great

01:19:38.680 communicator of

01:19:39.840 conservative ideals

01:19:40.840 the federal government

01:19:42.400 grew under Ronald

01:19:44.120 Reagan's watch he

01:19:45.280 specifically set out to

01:19:46.420 do away with the

01:19:47.360 Department of Education

01:19:48.240 he appointed a

01:19:49.080 secretary to do that

01:19:50.000 it grew under his

01:19:51.600 watch so the idea that

01:19:53.200 somehow Donald Trump

01:19:54.940 or any other

01:19:55.760 individual is going to

01:19:56.800 magically transform the

01:19:57.980 federal Leviathan is

01:19:59.060 just fantasy you can't

01:20:00.780 because I mean even if

01:20:02.200 if you've ever run a

01:20:03.520 company and you're like

01:20:04.480 I've got to shut this

01:20:05.380 division down that

01:20:07.080 division will spend all

01:20:08.840 of its time trying to

01:20:10.820 find ways to show you

01:20:12.680 you cannot shut it

01:20:14.240 down absolutely so you

01:20:16.360 know Glenn that's

01:20:16.840 another thing when I

01:20:17.800 talk about being Trump

01:20:18.620 drunk this idea that

01:20:20.280 1.35 million federal

01:20:23.060 employees are simply

01:20:23.940 going to roll over give

01:20:25.780 up their jobs give up

01:20:26.880 their benefits I mean this

01:20:28.120 is not to be critical

01:20:28.880 of them it goes against

01:20:29.680 human nature yeah

01:20:30.680 they're not going to be

01:20:31.820 in favor of shrinking

01:20:33.000 their own agencies just

01:20:35.080 not human nature okay so

01:20:37.220 how do people get

01:20:37.740 involved convention of

01:20:39.120 states dot com and what

01:20:40.020 we need is people to get

01:20:40.960 serious go there sign the

01:20:42.640 petition volunteer to be

01:20:44.720 involved that's the most

01:20:45.520 important thing they can

01:20:46.340 do so primarily what you

01:20:47.840 do is is we generate the

01:20:50.180 people who are interested

01:20:51.200 in helping I mean there

01:20:52.140 are literally now 2.1

01:20:53.480 million volunteers in the

01:20:54.760 field we need people who

01:20:56.180 are just willing to help

01:20:57.620 send the emails make the

01:20:59.080 calls make sure people

01:21:27.480 ago over a hundred years

01:21:28.360 ago the progressives

01:21:29.140 introduced a cancer that

01:21:30.340 was designed to eat the

01:21:31.800 Constitution it's time to

01:21:34.180 look for the the pill that

01:21:36.600 the founders gave us if the

01:22:32.760 800-600-1645 this is the Glenn Beck

01:22:37.960 program so I get in early today and

01:22:42.640 Jeff you would know this because you

01:22:44.880 do the Pat and Stu show with him they

01:22:47.700 haven't let go of the Meryl Streep

01:22:49.420 thing it's tough to let go of yeah

01:22:51.420 when you say they I mean I'm in

01:22:52.740 there with them you're still it's

01:22:54.180 tough to let go of still tough to let

01:22:55.820 go she is first of all agonizing you

01:22:58.560 know here's here this is what kills me is

01:23:00.300 that the fact that the media actually

01:23:03.660 tried to do a a what do they call it a

01:23:09.160 debunking of that and they went to see

01:23:12.160 if indeed Meryl Streep was irrelevant

01:23:16.840 and overrated with it I mean first of

01:23:20.320 all that's an opinion it's not I mean

01:23:22.580 this is the thing they decide to spend

01:23:24.940 their time on to really pretty weird

01:23:27.920 it's just so bizarre and of course she

01:23:30.560 is overrated and irrelevant but I don't

01:23:32.940 know unless you have a standard set of

01:23:35.040 criteria I think I look at her with an

01:23:38.360 exception of that Abba nightmare that

01:23:40.900 just won't leave me alone me is a good

01:23:42.700 example and that's one of the things

01:23:45.320 they featured prominently yeah they like

01:23:47.540 a big I mean the reason I know about

01:23:49.840 that show is because I mean my parents

01:23:51.600 loved that show and so there was I

01:23:54.180 hated that show I hated every second of

01:23:56.140 that I would have I would have eaten off

01:23:58.920 my my my arms if I could if it would

01:24:02.800 have meant I could be and if you didn't

01:24:05.100 like a musical there must have been

01:24:06.620 something wrong oh it was right

01:24:08.040 horrendous Mamma Mia was one of the

01:24:10.440 most tragic traumatic experiences of my

01:24:12.380 life seeing it you made me go see it I

01:24:14.960 made you go see it for the show you

01:24:16.180 don't remember oh yeah I did I as a

01:24:18.000 punishment I mean as a punishment for

01:24:19.360 something I don't remember what it was

01:24:20.480 let's talk Ricky in the flash Ricky in

01:24:23.080 the flash but while it was one of the

01:24:25.820 worst I think we can all agree Mamma

01:24:27.040 Mia was one of the worst things that's

01:24:28.080 ever been created it is also her

01:24:29.420 highest grossing picture just to make

01:24:31.440 shell like that in case you're worried

01:24:33.000 is it really that's not her yeah I

01:24:34.800 know it's not her success it's not her

01:24:36.460 I'm with you and that's kind of the

01:24:38.460 point I'm trying to make her entire

01:24:40.660 career is filled with Mamma Mia

01:24:42.580 didn't even do a bunch of junk not good

01:24:44.560 so he's 81 to 85 she has two movies in

01:24:47.980 there Kramer versus Kramer no that was

01:24:50.260 79 but 79 to 85 was probably the

01:24:53.900 highlight of her pre-85 yeah Kramer

01:24:56.020 versus Kramer excellent Sophie's Choice

01:24:58.640 excellent and out of Africa maybe you're

01:25:01.640 gonna give her out of Africa give her

01:25:03.180 out of there then she takes a good

01:25:05.540 Silkwood Silkwood I mean filmed in this

01:25:09.080 studio on the stage however I mean you

01:25:14.380 know okay let's just give her that for

01:25:16.140 for the fun okay all right that gets you

01:25:18.280 to 1985 all right okay because she's good

01:25:20.540 so she's got a few movies pre-1985 those

01:25:24.020 are good that are you could say are good

01:25:26.060 yeah then you got a good decade of

01:25:28.820 nothing unless you want to throw she

01:25:31.020 devil in the mix for a good are you

01:25:33.500 forgetting iron weed thank you very much

01:25:35.760 so a bunch a bunch of nothing until now

01:25:39.480 yes she appeared like for example she

01:25:41.560 was a supporting act actress in

01:25:43.420 defending your life and defending your

01:25:46.200 life is what that was an Albert that's

01:25:48.000 an Albert Brooks movie though it's not a

01:25:49.580 Meryl Streep movie no but she was good in

01:25:51.380 she was okay in it okay but again she

01:25:53.540 was okay wasn't bad she was she was good

01:25:57.020 in it is it a career defining role the

01:25:58.540 answer that is no the next one of those

01:26:00.320 you might say a lot of people like that

01:26:02.720 the next one you get really though is

01:26:04.260 Bridges of Madison County which oh was

01:26:06.260 agonizing horrific horrible horrible now

01:26:08.300 that's by the way now wait a minute wait a

01:26:10.300 minute wait a minute wait a minute let's

01:26:13.480 have the discussion terrible is it horrible

01:26:15.760 wait a minute is it horrible or is it

01:26:18.340 horrible because we saw her and Clint

01:26:20.980 Eastwood with his and her shirts off yes

01:26:24.560 that was I was a big part of it's the

01:26:26.660 worst part of the movie but it's still a

01:26:28.320 bad movie I can't I don't have any

01:26:30.820 recollection other than that let's get

01:26:33.280 Pat can you give the recollection quickly

01:26:35.000 of what happened in the movie Bridges of

01:26:37.000 Madison County let's see I know the

01:26:39.380 hard-working loving considerate husband

01:26:44.260 and father protector of his wife and

01:26:47.420 children as kind of a favor a good thing

01:26:50.980 for his children and a favor to his

01:26:52.920 wife takes the two kids to the state

01:26:55.600 fair for a week that's nice and while he

01:26:59.300 is doing that loving act of kindness for

01:27:01.800 his wife she is inviting some stranger

01:27:04.900 some drifter who showed up at the door in

01:27:07.320 to do her for the week I mean it is a

01:27:10.040 wow premise what a wonderful I mean it's

01:27:13.640 that's the thanks he gets for being a

01:27:16.200 good man okay this movie I hate that

01:27:19.780 book I hate that movie I remember

01:27:21.840 reading the book and liking it I don't

01:27:23.680 remember it framed that way so that's

01:27:28.960 what it is so that's the breakup from

01:27:30.680 83 to 95 we find the good piece of work

01:27:34.520 which is British Bridges of Madison

01:27:36.040 County which as Pat I think just

01:27:37.600 described right was not as good as

01:27:39.300 maybe some others say then you're

01:27:40.960 taking some more time off from her

01:27:42.860 wonderful success as a magical actress

01:27:45.160 and you clear I mean you could go to

01:27:48.740 adaptation which I didn't particularly

01:27:50.420 like but I mean it was a critical

01:27:52.340 darling I guess I didn't see you know

01:27:54.640 what that is then you're going all the

01:27:56.100 way I would say to probably a devil

01:28:01.460 wears Prada now devil is a good movie

01:28:03.940 it's a career defining movie I think

01:28:06.020 you could put it that way however is it

01:28:07.780 really be honest no a role that any

01:28:10.680 other somewhat similarly aged actress

01:28:14.360 could do Glenn Close could let close

01:28:16.220 pull that easily absolutely and then

01:28:18.020 Sigourney Weaver pull that off yes

01:28:19.740 absolutely there's a dozen people you

01:28:22.060 could think of off the top of your head

01:28:23.260 Julia Roberts Julia Roberts could have

01:28:25.660 done that movie yes you have to be old

01:28:27.440 and mean and that was essentially it

01:28:30.020 right right and it's not that big of a

01:28:31.900 deal so then you're that's so we're now

01:28:33.800 again Betty White could have done it

01:28:35.480 absolutely it would be fantastic in that

01:28:37.680 role but because it was Meryl Streep it

01:28:39.980 was some amazing thing that she did in

01:28:42.460 reality it was just another movie and she

01:28:45.460 again wasn't even the star of the movie

01:28:47.120 like I mean she was the secondary

01:28:49.140 character who where so where did she

01:28:51.140 develop this right yes I was I was

01:28:57.960 actually not on your side until you

01:29:00.360 started presenting the case because

01:29:01.960 there's a lot of stuff in here I mean

01:29:03.100 you want to pull out Julie versus Julia

01:29:05.100 okay Julie versus she did a pretty

01:29:07.440 serviceable impression of of what Julia

01:29:11.140 child of Julia child again but so did

01:29:13.600 Dan Aykroyd he could have played that

01:29:15.460 part no that's not true he could have

01:29:17.240 played that part no no no he's right

01:29:18.500 that's not true Aykroyd's was better but

01:29:20.620 I mean the point is they both had no she

01:29:22.800 was she did a good impression of that

01:29:24.360 but for example Jim Carrey did a much

01:29:26.820 better impression of Andy Kaufman oh yeah

01:29:29.660 no one's throwing him into the freaking

01:29:30.900 hall of fame for it no like that was

01:29:32.900 genius but he was genius in that role

01:29:35.160 and everyone was like oh well you know

01:29:36.820 I don't know it was just an impression

01:29:38.140 that's what she did and by the way she

01:29:40.140 wasn't even the main character in the

01:29:41.420 movie she was in the movie for like 10

01:29:43.000 minutes okay so where are we here then

01:29:45.660 we're Mamma Mia okay which we all

01:29:47.860 discuss is a disaster you're right

01:29:49.460 144 million that's her biggest box office

01:29:52.900 success and I will tell you that's

01:29:55.080 inflation adjusted is a problem but still

01:29:57.000 literally that could have been done by

01:29:59.180 Muppets it's the music that carried that

01:30:02.800 and again all that was if you put a

01:30:04.400 different person who could who was a

01:30:05.900 better singer in that role it would have

01:30:07.280 been better it wasn't that she like

01:30:08.860 nailed the part above and beyond anybody

01:30:10.880 else again I think the Muppets would

01:30:12.340 have done exactly roles where she was

01:30:14.160 actually terrible in and into the woods

01:30:16.580 is one of oh my god into the woods she I

01:30:19.320 thought she was absolutely it was a bad

01:30:22.420 fairy tale right yeah yeah yeah yeah

01:30:25.320 yeah yeah she was horrible terrible

01:30:27.240 and terrible I surprisingly bad because

01:30:29.500 I was under the impression still buying

01:30:31.620 into the three Oscars and eight golden

01:30:34.000 globes she's a great actress and I'm

01:30:35.880 thinking she is terrible in this what

01:30:38.200 happened and and then Ricky and the

01:30:39.800 flash is the ultimate exclamation point

01:30:41.520 in this conversation when she plays an

01:30:42.820 aging rock star a complete disaster no

01:30:45.860 yeah yeah she has three Oscars she's had

01:30:47.480 19 nominations how about winning the

01:30:49.200 seasonally how about that this is the

01:30:54.900 Glenn Beck program mercury

01:30:59.940 this is the Glenn Beck program we're

01:31:05.520 doing a we're doing tonight his story on

01:31:09.820 Upton Sinclair and Upton Sinclair is I

01:31:14.600 contend kind of Meryl Streep I mean much

01:31:18.520 worse but Meryl Streep as I'm looking at

01:31:21.080 her looking at the roles that she's

01:31:23.740 played yes she is you're right she is

01:31:26.720 way over right there's some art house

01:31:29.160 stuff in between that I could but the

01:31:30.640 hour art house stuff like she did

01:31:32.260 suffragette yeah some of it is you know

01:31:35.340 I mean people would like Osage County I

01:31:38.340 know everyone loves that but like you get

01:31:40.520 into some of the art house stuff and I

01:31:41.840 obviously like they like art house stuff

01:31:43.580 anyway but it's also just because because

01:31:46.020 she's a crazy liberal she was doing

01:31:48.220 anti-Iraq war movies that completely

01:31:50.120 bombed in the here that I didn't mention

01:31:52.040 Lions for Lambs being the main one she

01:31:54.320 also did the Manchurian Candidate which

01:31:56.420 at the time which by the way was a

01:31:58.300 terrible version of of that movie that

01:32:00.040 should have been good yeah but at the

01:32:01.400 time it was all targeted about how bad

01:32:03.240 George W Bush was it was in the middle of

01:32:05.280 his administration right she's taking

01:32:06.820 liberal crazy liberal stance after a

01:32:09.040 crazy liberal stance after crazy liberal

01:32:10.760 stance all while incidentally looking

01:32:13.400 like a bird which is something

01:32:14.480 completely separate but also true

01:32:16.000 again not necessary and and and so she

01:32:19.560 has this this glean on her which they

01:32:22.000 throw her in all sorts of movies and

01:32:23.520 get it and most of it is crap I mean she

01:32:26.480 is legitimately I have never agreed with

01:32:29.340 Donald Trump more than saying that

01:32:31.140 Meryl Streep is overrated she is

01:32:33.440 overrated as soon as the country can

01:32:35.440 come to come to that conclusion we'll

01:32:37.640 all be better off but beyond that she's

01:32:40.340 also the not a very good representation

01:32:43.500 of of our new moral overlords because

01:32:46.780 these she's gonna tell us and I look

01:32:49.220 we've been honest about this we've had

01:32:50.560 many problems with things that Donald

01:32:51.760 Trump has done throughout his life and

01:32:53.220 his campaign for her to be the one

01:32:55.680 telling us for her to come out and

01:32:56.900 preach to America that we should be all

01:32:59.800 worried about Donald Trump we I mean the

01:33:02.340 picture I have it on my Facebook page

01:33:03.720 it's circulated fairly widely of her

01:33:05.940 giving a standing ovation to Roman

01:33:09.260 Polanski a director just let me bring

01:33:13.140 you back a little bit here this is from

01:33:14.640 1977 yeah I love it when Stu is

01:33:16.740 passionate about something so small so

01:33:19.640 this one is small yeah because not you

01:33:22.500 know what I could Meryl Streep and look

01:33:24.360 at he comes loaded like it's like we're in

01:33:27.120 front of the Supreme Court there's a

01:33:28.920 couple of things Meryl Streep is one and

01:33:31.500 soda is another is another those two

01:33:33.420 things he comes like we are arguing in

01:33:37.180 front of the Supreme Court so go ahead

01:33:39.900 look there there are two things here

01:33:41.960 that are important and yes you might say

01:33:43.980 one of them is you know the Meryl Streep

01:33:46.740 thing maybe not that consequential

01:33:48.220 however I would say child rape is pretty

01:33:50.460 consequential I'm gonna go with

01:33:51.880 consequential when it comes to child

01:33:54.000 rape 1977 Roman Polanski drove a 13 year

01:34:00.480 old girl to Jack Nicholson's house

01:34:02.460 Nicholson not home at the time his

01:34:04.360 ex-girlfriend Angelica Houston was there

01:34:06.140 when they arrived he photographed her he

01:34:08.640 then gave her alcohol at 13 years old then

01:34:11.960 gave her a quaalude does Bill Cosby is

01:34:14.580 that kicking in for anybody here gave her a

01:34:16.260 quaalude at 13 years old got her to go

01:34:19.160 told her to strip naked and get into the

01:34:21.580 jacuzzi where despite her protests he

01:34:23.980 soon joined her after removing his own

01:34:26.300 clothes she lied about having asthma to

01:34:28.900 try to remove herself from the situation

01:34:30.720 although that was unsuccessful he she

01:34:34.460 repeatedly told him no asked him to drive

01:34:37.600 her home regardless of all of that he

01:34:40.580 proceeded to perform oral vaginal and

01:34:42.980 another one type of sex on her inside of

01:34:46.960 the house she told the grand jury she was

01:34:49.460 reluctant to resist because she was afraid

01:34:51.300 of him when she was taking him home he

01:34:53.540 said you know when I first met you I

01:34:55.660 promised myself I wouldn't do anything

01:34:57.460 like this with you he then later admitted

01:35:00.440 in open court to knowing that she was 13

01:35:04.020 years old at the time of the sex knew it

01:35:07.620 okay then once as we all know now he

01:35:11.840 leaves then escapes the country and has

01:35:13.900 been hiding from prosecution for multiple

01:35:17.500 decades he wins an award which he can't

01:35:20.600 attend because he's a convicted he's a

01:35:22.900 rapist a child rapist prison she stands

01:35:28.000 up and gives him a giant uh uh standing

01:35:31.580 odation Meryl Streep gives him our moral

01:35:34.460 overlord gives us the uh standing ovation

01:35:37.300 while sitting next to another person who

01:35:39.840 happens to be clapping for him Jack

01:35:41.460 Nicholson which is where the incident took

01:35:43.640 place at his house wow now you could sit

01:35:47.140 here and say all you want about Donald

01:35:48.420 Trump has he done things that people

01:35:49.620 don't like absolutely but there is a

01:35:52.100 little bit of a line here between

01:35:53.780 mocking someone inappropriately and uh you

01:35:57.360 know actual child rape actual rape and to

01:35:59.580 sit here and act as if because he's an

01:36:01.280 artiste I don't know because he's liberal

01:36:03.440 it's it's okay for them to sit here and

01:36:05.880 get all excited and happy about some man

01:36:08.800 and his art which by the way part of this

01:36:11.380 incident was because of art he told her

01:36:13.480 he was going to take these wonderful

01:36:14.560 photos of her it's how we got her in the

01:36:16.640 sack it's inexplicable that this goes on

01:36:19.680 and this man is still over there making

01:36:21.580 movies and they're applauding him so

01:36:24.260 don't tell us about how high and mighty

01:36:27.600 your morals are and how you can tell us

01:36:29.860 what we should and should not judge as as

01:36:32.260 part of acceptable society are you finished

01:36:35.140 counselor yes sorry I don't know the

01:36:36.740 soda tax in Philadelphia is sorry yeah

01:36:41.340 I know I don't know the details either I

01:36:43.440 didn't know that if I'd ever heard the

01:36:44.640 details I'd forgotten them yeah and it's

01:36:46.140 been a long time ago but yeah but I mean

01:36:47.680 you know that's not something you know

01:36:48.620 you do get all you do is you get you know

01:36:50.860 they're romanticized a picture of Roman

01:36:54.920 Polanski he did something but it was it

01:36:57.240 wasn't so bad and people are probably you

01:36:59.140 know just persecuting they make it sound

01:37:00.760 like like it was consensual she was

01:37:02.680 underage whatever right it wasn't even

01:37:04.620 the BS or 16 I didn't know how old she

01:37:06.760 was it wasn't even that he said he knew I

01:37:11.320 mean it's absolutely open and shut I

01:37:14.060 will tell you why he won't come back in

01:37:15.280 the country people get away today we're

01:37:16.860 doing Upton Sinclair Upton Sinclair on on

01:37:20.420 his story this is on the blaze at 5 p.m.

01:37:23.120 tonight a really fascinating story because

01:37:27.540 if you go to college you're gonna read the

01:37:30.240 jungle you're gonna read Upton Sinclair and

01:37:32.960 you're gonna be told it's oh he's wonderful

01:37:36.180 he's the best look at this is this is the

01:37:39.180 beginning of the progressive movement he

01:37:43.180 goes in to the meatpacking industry in

01:37:47.140 1903 1906 someplace like that and he

01:37:51.020 decides he's going to do a a a journalistic

01:37:56.880 piece for his paper on the meatpacking

01:37:59.860 industry well then he doesn't do a

01:38:03.720 journalistic piece for the paper why

01:38:05.980 because he was making up the facts so he

01:38:10.340 decided to write quote a novel called the

01:38:15.620 jungle he writes this novel and then

01:38:19.120 claims that it is all true when asked by

01:38:22.800 some reporters then why isn't this a true

01:38:26.280 story why is this a novel well I had to

01:38:28.700 change some of the facts to be able to get

01:38:31.320 permission well he didn't get permission

01:38:33.120 he went in and worked at this meatpacking

01:38:35.580 place and then made things up to be able to

01:38:40.540 tell this story and we detail it all in

01:38:43.440 tonight's episode of his story on the on the

01:38:46.920 blaze it's such an incredible story what

01:38:50.580 links this guy went to and even Teddy

01:38:53.700 Roosevelt thought he was a hero invited him

01:38:56.340 in to the White House to meet with him and

01:38:59.120 said Upton you have to you have to tell me

01:39:01.580 about this this is we I mean I've got to

01:39:04.040 get I just I just started the the FDA I

01:39:07.880 maybe I got to get the FDA out to those

01:39:10.400 meatpacking plants he confesses to to

01:39:14.000 Roosevelt but no although that's not

01:39:15.620 I mean none of that's going to find out you

01:39:18.080 know find out Roosevelt is actually led to

01:39:20.620 the creation of the FDA Roosevelt because of

01:39:23.380 his book Roosevelt is so disgusted by

01:39:28.300 Sinclair that he wants nothing to do with

01:39:32.160 him in his in his writings and according to

01:39:35.400 other people that were around him he said

01:39:37.480 he was a despicable human being because he

01:39:41.520 didn't care about any facts so he goes

01:39:46.940 through his whole life he becomes a huge

01:39:49.200 success it is the progressive darling it

01:39:52.460 starts the whole progressive era it gets

01:39:55.420 the whole thing chugging people believe

01:39:58.420 all of this nonsense he continues to write

01:40:01.620 books what's interesting is at the end of

01:40:04.660 the story at the end of the story it is

01:40:07.780 this audience a member of this audience that

01:40:13.440 actually uncovered the truth of Upton Sinclair's

01:40:17.160 the jungle prove that it is completely false and

01:40:24.860 knowingly false in Upton Sinclair's own

01:40:29.080 handwriting we a few years ago I bet you

01:40:32.700 don't even remember it does anybody remember

01:40:34.420 it a few years ago that evidence was brought

01:40:37.660 by a listener we flew him in he sat here told

01:40:42.980 us a story showed us the evidence not one story was ever written about it it is game

01:40:52.140 changing with history and here's what it is one of our listeners happened to be in an

01:40:57.580 auction an old guy dies in California well the old guy was either Sinclair's

01:41:04.820 attorney or had sin had taken his estate and had it now part of his estate so he's going through these boxes just letters and and things that are unmarked nobody knows what it is and he's opening up one of these boxes and he pulls one out and he sees that it's from Upton Sinclair he sees the postmark date on it and knows that this is to Upton Sinclair's attorney at the time of the time of the

01:41:34.820 of the jungle he's like wow that this is pretty interesting stuffs it back bids on the box like $10 they give him the box he takes it he opens up the letter and in the letter it says and I'm paraphrasing hey listen I'm gonna tell you the truth and I'm gonna tell you what really happened on the way back on a train that is well documented that shows that he went to Colorado and it was to prove all of the

01:42:04.800 this was true he goes back to his hotel in Denver that night and he writes this letter here's what was actually said I want to send this to you for safe keeping someday after I die you might want to release it if anybody finds it newsworthy sealed after his death still you will go to colleges and they will tell you

01:42:34.740 that Upton Sinclair was a great journalist a guy who changed the world and a hero of the progressive movement we tell you the real story about him his story tonight at five only on the blaze tv

01:42:50.740 let's go to uh is it Mark in Texas let's go to Mark hi Mark Glenn you missed the biography of Meryl Streep she's an aging has been actress in death becomes her

01:43:16.740 autobiographical wow yeah and she was terrible in that too that was a bad movie

01:43:22.320 the worst movie ever guys worst come on Stu help me out no no no no no that's not the worst movie ever made

01:43:29.320 Mamma Mia Mamma Mia might be might be the worst movie ever made Bruce Willis saved the movie yes the worst movie

01:43:36.700 ever made cannot have Bruce Willis in it and that's what I was gonna say I did not I did not make it to Bruce Willis

01:43:41.500 that's one thing that movie was in that movie what I don't think she had to act for that movie I mean

01:43:48.960 she was an irrelevant aging screen star it was beautiful it was it was bad it was really bad I

01:43:55.600 honestly do not understand why she is so revered outside of the politics of the situation and that's

01:44:03.020 really what it is I mean you know she doesn't there's nobody out there's nobody that does awards

01:44:08.840 as much as Hollywood yeah they love it is it's a circular argument we're great because we tell you

01:44:15.520 we're great right in fact that was exactly what the AP did with their fact check uh is fact is

01:44:19.560 Meryl Streep overrated this is this is the evidence they gave and they did acknowledge yes this is

01:44:23.800 obviously overrated is an opinion she has earned 19 Oscar nominations and three wins which by the way

01:44:29.180 I mean you don't want to do that percentage not a good percentage batting average uh you're you're not

01:44:32.200 even in single a with that one uh 29 golden globe nominations and eight wins uh two Emmy awards plus

01:44:38.880 there's a presidential medal of freedom again these are all people telling her she's great um for

01:44:44.000 national society of film critics awards to screen actors guild but those again those are your friends

01:44:50.340 telling you you're a friend that's like saying I know that uh spanky is one of the greatest guys ever

01:45:00.800 because look at our gang our gang has been holding clubhouse meetings with him and he's been the head

01:45:09.400 of the clubhouse meeting I mean it's spanky in our gang do you have anything else besides our gang

01:45:16.900 giving her these awards uh she also won a commandor de lord de art de la te oh the highest civilian honor

01:45:24.600 given to the french by the french government they also gave that to peter sellers I that's my case

01:45:28.660 A Tony Award, five Grammy Award nominations, and a American Film Institute Life Achievement Award,

01:45:33.880 the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain, American Comedy Award, Irish Film and Television Award,

01:45:40.000 two Italian online movie awards.

01:45:41.880 None of this proves that she's good at anything.

01:45:43.560 So the rating is false?

01:45:45.020 Do they rate it false then?

01:45:47.120 Yes.

01:45:47.480 Well, no, they didn't give a specific rating.

01:45:49.300 I think what happens is they initially headlined it a fact check and then changed the headline after everyone was like,

01:45:54.840 you can't fact check the word overrated.
