00:00:00.000 First, I want to tell you about our sponsor is Home Title Lock. Home Title Lock, it's a great
00:00:03.600 service because if you've never protected yourself against home title fraud, you may
00:00:08.640 already be a victim of it. It's one of the fastest growing crimes in America and because
00:00:13.320 the stakes are really high. If you can get someone's documents and transfer ownership
00:00:18.460 of the title into your name, you can do all sorts of fun stuff. You can borrow off of the equity and
00:00:24.300 steal hundreds of thousands of dollars if not sell the home out from under somebody. You don't
00:00:28.900 want to be on the wrong side of that equation. You are going to feel like you got hit by a truck
00:00:32.980 if you are. So go to Home Title Lock, get the $100 search that they have for free. It's a free title
00:00:39.540 scan and report. See if your home's already been compromised. It's $100 value. Why not get it for
00:00:43.980 free when you sign up at HomeTitleLock.com. Protect yourself, protect your home, protect your biggest
00:00:48.640 investment, the place where you just made a bunch of memories over the holidays. Make sure it's still
00:00:53.620 in your name in a couple of weeks. HomeTitleLock.com is the place to go. HomeTitleLock.com.
00:01:01.940 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:08.020 It's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:11.980 888-727-BECK. We've got Ocasio-Cortez's Radical New Deal to talk about because this is going to be
00:01:19.320 great for everybody. I can't wait till they get this passed. I know, I'm excited about it. Get
00:01:25.660 into that. Also, Chuck Todd won't even, he won't even consider anybody with any debate on climate
00:01:34.300 change because that's all settled. And he'll only present one side of that argument. Made that
00:01:41.600 really clear on Sunday. It's just not even news anymore. They're just not even doing news anymore.
00:01:47.880 And they're certainly no longer hiding the fact that they're not doing it anymore.
00:01:51.500 Not at all. They don't care. It's pretty amazing. They just don't care.
00:01:54.940 We're getting to that in about 60 seconds right here on the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:01.540 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:03.820 Let's talk about something real here. You can put off a lot of things in life. You don't have to join
00:02:08.780 a gym. You can clean your gutters, but usually they will rot off your house. But here's another
00:02:12.840 thing you shouldn't put off, and that is getting home security. It's your home. It's your family.
00:02:17.040 It's your stuff. You want to protect it. But there's always something holding you back.
00:02:20.800 And most likely, it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying a middleman and
00:02:25.180 being indebted forever. It also could be the fact that they want you to schedule a six-hour
00:02:29.180 installation window. You don't have time for that. Simply Safe Home Security has gotten rid
00:02:33.660 of all of those reasons not to get home security. And I'm about to tell you how to save a ton,
00:02:38.480 too. These guys are really great. They don't have any contracts. There's no wiring. There's no markup.
00:02:42.480 There's no installation windows. Just professional quality home security with 24-hour professional
00:02:47.640 monitoring. Now you can save hundreds on Simply Safe with their extended holiday sale. Just go to

00:03:03.460 Pat and Stu for Glenn today. Glenn is back on Monday. 888-727-BECK. It's going to be interesting
00:03:21.900 to see as the new Congress people are sworn in today. It's going to be interesting to see whose
00:03:28.980 agenda wins the day. Will it be the moderates in the party? Are there even any moderates in the
00:03:34.920 Democrat party anymore? Or is it going to be the radical agenda of some of the incoming freshmen
00:03:39.180 who are Democratic socialists? Well, there's some moderate socialists that we know. Now,
00:03:44.200 there's some extreme socialists as well, but there's some right down the middle of the line
00:03:48.200 socialists. Yeah. And then there's some, I would say, communists who are right, you know,
00:03:54.580 sort of center-ish. Center communists? Yeah. And then there's some, I would say,
00:03:59.520 there's two or three real conservative communists. They are like real small government conservative
00:04:05.220 communists, which believe that only like 97% of all the economy should be run by the government.
00:04:11.080 And those people are, I mean, they're extreme in the party. There's only a few, but there's a couple.
00:04:15.360 And that's kind of what we're up against in the Democrat party now, because the Democrat party,
00:04:19.880 they're not Democrats anymore, as a rule. The party has been taken over by socialists. And
00:04:28.260 in fact, it was, what is his name? Perez, right? The head of the DNC, who said that this is the
00:04:37.080 future, that the Ocasio-Cortezes are the future of the Democrat party. Really? Socialists are the
00:04:43.740 future of the Democrat party? Are you listening to yourself? They're a little bit more of the
00:04:49.700 past than they've admitted as well. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, that's, I think, the interesting note
00:04:54.940 here is that this is a party that used to try so hard to hide the fact. Sure did. That they wanted
00:05:03.860 a giant government. I mean, remember, the era of big government is over was Bill Clinton. That's not
00:05:09.100 that long ago. I mean, it's 20 years ago, but that was where they worked to the point where they
00:05:13.180 actually said growing government wasn't even a thing anymore. Right. Now they're admitting they're
00:05:18.460 socialists and they're saying that's the future of the party. It's quite a jump. So it wasn't until
00:05:24.000 recently that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez provided some of the details of her proposal for the Green
00:05:31.320 New Deal. But she finally spoke at a town hall and she declared this is going to be the New Deal,
00:05:39.520 the Great Society, the Moonshot, the civil rights movement of our generation. Now, we still don't have
00:05:45.640 the specifics, but of course, it includes free health care. It includes free college education.
00:05:56.020 She is going to eliminate all fossil fuel powered electricity. She's proposing elimination of all
00:06:06.040 fossil fuel powered electricity. So I assume that she's going nuclear, which is obviously a huge,
00:06:10.800 easy emission free way to generate mass amounts of electricity. But we are going to close every
00:06:17.380 coal and natural gas powered plant. Now, natural gas, by the way, is the thing responsible for
00:06:22.440 the giant drop in emissions that had nothing to do with a treaty in the United States. We had a big
00:06:28.800 drop because we took a decent amount of our electricity and transferred it from coal to natural
00:06:33.380 gas. Now she wants to get rid of that, too. She does. Because, Stu, it's time to do renewable sources of
00:06:39.100 power, especially wind and solar, because that will that will create massive amounts of new jobs
00:06:47.420 in the renewable resource in industry. And it'll be so affordable because those technologies are so
00:06:55.060 well perfected now that you could just run everything efficiently with solar and wind.
00:06:59.780 Oh, shut down all, let's say, coal fired, all natural gas, all hydroelectric electric and just
00:07:09.260 and just go totally wind and solar and we'll be great. I mean, even Elon Musk with multiple
00:07:15.700 billions of dollars, he's willing to throw at these things. Even he can't make that stuff work.
00:07:19.860 No. Right. Like, I mean, he's improved it and he's come a decent amount. Of course, a lot of
00:07:24.360 government handouts in the middle of that as well. But still, it's still we're still not solving that
00:07:29.220 problem. And this is somebody who's actually competent. Yeah. And can you imagine the government
00:07:33.000 trying to be involved in it? Oh, my gosh. Oh, geez. She's also, you know, part of this Green New
00:07:37.440 Deal is a national tax on CO2 emissions. Of course. That would cost the U.S. economy, they estimate,
00:07:44.520 4.21 trillion dollars. Over what period of time? Somewhere between 4.21 trillion and 5.98 trillion.
00:07:55.360 So nearly 6 trillion. But that's over 10 years. That's a full decade. I mean, 6 trillion in a
00:08:05.460 decade. That's it. Wow. Of course. By 2040, as much as 12.32 trillion would be lost. Nearly one
00:08:16.240 quarter of the country's GDP relative to what it would otherwise be could be lost, too, as a result
00:08:22.040 of the carbon tax. I don't know how people listened to her. And maybe they just didn't
00:08:28.960 listen to her. I don't know how you say, yeah, that sounds pretty good. Let's do this. How
00:08:34.220 do you? I mean, I know it's explained in a way from her that is simplistic and would probably
00:08:42.120 sound great because we're just the greatest country in the world and we can just do this
00:08:45.760 stuff. So it's time. Well, how do you pay for it? You know, I'm always puzzled by people
00:08:51.000 who ask me how I pay for it because you just do. I mean, those are the kinds of explanations
00:08:56.100 you get from her. So maybe it fooled the people of the Bronx. I don't know. I don't think
00:09:02.080 honestly that people make this big deal about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And part of it is
00:09:07.780 a lot of Republicans are obsessed with talking about her. And the reason for that, of course,
00:09:13.100 is because they dream of this. We just talked about this with Bill Clinton. When Bill Clinton
00:09:18.980 was going to be elected, if you were a conservative talk show host, you had to go on the air and
00:09:24.320 say, I know he's saying the era of big government is over, but what he really means is he wants
00:09:30.400 a lot more big government. And that was not an easy sell to people. You had to go through
00:09:34.020 each policy individually. It was a dream of Republicans for a half century to convince
00:09:40.620 voters, I swear to you, no, these people are basically socialists or at the very least want
00:09:46.640 to walk us down that road way too far. They want to get way too close to socialism. And
00:09:51.960 every Republican since like 1945 has been saying, hey guys, socialism is encroaching on us. Look
00:10:01.600 at this party is trying to do this to you. Now they're all saying they're socialists.
00:10:07.320 Yeah. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a dream for Republicans to go up against because she is 1.00
00:10:13.820 saying exactly the thing they're trying to pin on on the party. She's saying, yep, you're right.
00:10:20.600 You've been saying we're socialists for 50, 60, 70 years and you were right. That is a dream.
00:10:26.760 That's why the Republicans love Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and then add in the additional 1.00
00:10:31.260 amount that she usually screws up the details of her job and doesn't seem to know much about it. 0.99
00:10:36.220 But that's not why she got elected in the Bronx, right? She got elected in the Bronx because they had 0.63
00:10:40.640 a 900 year old old guy, old white dude who had been there for a zillion years and she looked
00:10:46.920 better. She looked better. She was younger. She was exciting. She was new. They wanted change.
00:10:52.160 They had just gone through an election where they lost to Donald Trump. I mean, again, put your head
00:10:55.500 in the mind of a left leftist here. You're really upset about this. You can't believe this is
00:11:00.260 happening. You know whose fault it is. It's those people have been in control all this time.
00:11:03.240 So they picked a new person. They had no idea. She again, she was waiting tables at a restaurant
00:11:07.960 a few months before this. They had no idea what her policies were. Yeah, she got out and she, 0.97
00:11:13.060 you know, she went on TV a few times, but mostly went on TV and made really bad mistakes.
00:11:18.600 And she took an election that no one thought she could win and she deserves credit for that.
00:11:23.120 That's not easy to do. But I mean, you get, I don't think if the Democrats wind up going down
00:11:29.000 that road that Perez is suggesting and saying that this is the future of our party.
00:11:32.500 I think they're going to. I think you're, I think you're right.
00:11:34.560 I think they're going to. Especially with this primary.
00:11:36.260 This is a blessing in disguise for Republicans, conservatives, whatever you want to say.
00:11:42.980 I hope so.
00:11:44.000 Because they're all going to have to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez themselves in this primary
00:11:48.320 to win it. You're either going to, you're either going to say you want universal jobs,
00:11:53.940 universal healthcare, green taxes, every single little pet project of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
00:12:00.260 If you don't say you want it, you lose the primary.
00:12:02.640 I mean, she's talking basic income. So a guaranteed basic income for all Americans, universal healthcare,
00:12:10.840 universal education. And there's just, there's no way, there's no way you can provide all of that
00:12:18.380 in the United States of America. You can't do it.
00:12:20.460 I mean, it's just impossible.
00:12:21.480 A left-leaning think tank went through these numbers and said, now this was not, this is the,
00:12:26.520 again, it did not include universal jobs, which as I'm assuming is going to be part of this
00:12:30.860 eventually too.
00:12:31.460 It would have to be if you're going to get a basic income, right?
00:12:33.860 And that was at $32 trillion total cost over 10 years.
00:12:39.040 Yeah.
00:12:39.140 $32 trillion.
00:12:39.900 Yeah.
00:12:40.040 And the actual, that was like, that was a pretty ridiculous estimate because it did
00:12:45.100 stuff like, well, okay, minimum wage goes to $15. The assumption is people who make $13
00:12:52.860 will go up to $15 and they're trying to factor in the cost. And that makes sense, right?
00:12:56.100 If you're making $13, they would raise it to $15. If you're making $8, they would raise
00:12:58.940 it to $15. And they tried to factor that in. What they didn't factor in is if you have a
00:13:02.740 guaranteed job and you're at $17 an hour working, why would you stay working at $17 and going 40
00:13:10.520 hours a week and busting your butt when to do nothing, you're guaranteed a job at $15 an hour? 0.66
00:13:16.560 How many people who are making $14 an hour now at a real job are going to say, well,
00:13:22.680 why don't I just take the guaranteed job for $15 an hour and I don't have to actually work?
00:13:27.800 I'm going to say everybody, all of them, thought it out, right? Like, yes. So that is
00:13:35.000 another extreme cost on top of this. It's just nuts. It is. And it's something that I think five
00:13:43.840 years ago, we couldn't have fathomed even being proposed in the United States, even under Barack
00:13:50.620 Obama. I don't think I could have fathomed this being proposed. He didn't propose it. He didn't.
00:13:56.900 He had the opportunity to and didn't. And did not. As radical as I thought Obama was,
00:14:03.260 he didn't even do this. Now, again, you'll see him jump in and support a lot of these programs.
00:14:07.580 Yeah, you will. Because the parties moved left and now it's okay to say, you know, with Obama,
00:14:12.880 again, even Obama would try to hide these things a little bit. Yeah, he did. We had, we were on the
00:14:18.380 air trying to uncover the people he was hiring that used to be socialists. Now they're all just out
00:14:23.200 there saying it. I mean, this is one of these Glenn predictions that he made many years ago.
00:14:27.720 They're going to take the mask off. Yeah. And it's certainly true now. And they're doing it.
00:14:31.620 I remember that like once a month, Obama would make some half-hearted attempt to say something
00:14:37.420 good about capitalism or entrepreneurial endeavors. Yeah. And they'd go, see, see, he's a capitalist.
00:14:45.340 And then the rest of the time, he's talking about income inequality and how the rich have too much.
00:14:51.280 And at some point, you've made enough money. Right. And redistribution of wealth. And that
00:14:56.220 was his main theme. But then every once in a while, he'd just, he'd say something nice about
00:15:01.720 capitalism so that he could say, no, I'm a capitalist. So he was still hiding it. But you're
00:15:06.860 right. Now they're not. Yeah. I mean, now they're just, they're taking the mask off.
00:15:10.340 One of the pieces of analysis of the failure in 2016 for the left is Bernie Sanders had the
00:15:15.620 energy. Now, Bernie Sanders was a, obviously is a heavily flawed candidate. He's 175 years old.
00:15:22.580 He's, you know, he's some unknown guy from Vermont who came out of nowhere to get 40% of the primary
00:15:27.080 vote against Hillary Clinton. One of the most recognizable names in all the world. And they're,
00:15:33.460 part of their analysis is that Hillary was too careful. She was trying to say the capitalism was
00:15:38.540 good. Occasionally she was trying to make it look like she could appeal to Republicans. 0.99
00:15:43.220 Republicans, that's what they think happened. They should have gone more Bernie Sanders. 0.81
00:15:47.760 And if they go down that road with 30 of them competing to get to the left, this is going to
00:15:51.980 be, I mean, it's going to be fun to watch. Socialism is going to be the right wing position
00:15:56.220 of the Democratic Party. They're going to be like, ah, this guy's way too conservative. He's only a
00:16:00.660 socialist. That is going to be where we go. It is. All right. 888-727-BEC is our phone number. We have
00:16:06.420 another tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that we have to delve into. We'll get into that in 60 seconds.
00:16:13.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:16:16.080 You know, not everybody agrees with me, but even though Bitcoin is down significantly right now,
00:16:20.260 I believe in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology that's behind them. They're going
00:16:24.580 to play a significant role in our future. And while it may end up in the end being crazy,
00:16:29.280 I'm actually investing more in Bitcoin. It just makes sense that a trackable digital form of money
00:16:34.780 will replace fiat money one day, doesn't it? It's important that you understand these and ask
00:16:39.840 these questions and find the answers because you have a chance right now to invest in this
00:16:43.820 technology before it happens. And if I'm right, and I could be wrong, you could make game-changing
00:16:49.260 money from a very small investment. But I want you to do your own homework and begin with Wall Street
00:16:54.320 hedge fund manager, Tika Tiwari. He's an expert in the cryptocurrency space. He's created a course
00:16:59.440 that takes you through all of the basics and makes buying or selling of crypto as simple as buying and
00:17:04.880 selling stock. For a limited time, you can take a risk-free 30-day trial of his course by going to
00:17:09.640 SmartCryptoCourse.com. Do it today. SmartCryptoCourse.com. Or call 877-PBL-BECK.
00:17:16.060 That's Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. 788-727-BECK. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:17:38.880 brilliant ideas. You know what this sounds like a lot to me? It sounds like the FDR second bill of
00:17:44.460 rights. It's pretty much what she's proposing now. Universal income, guaranteed jobs, and universal 0.99
00:17:52.360 healthcare, along with education, free education. The only thing she's not proposing that was kind
00:17:57.980 of in the plan of FDR is free housing, is guaranteed housing. A decent home for everybody, I think,
00:18:04.600 is how FDR put it. Yeah, and she is proposing something as far as the housing, isn't it? Were we
00:18:10.700 saying something of a guaranteed improvements, or what was it? Upgrades to all homes. Well,
00:18:16.180 you're going to have to upgrade the homes in America because they're not fitted for wind and
00:18:21.160 solar power. So you're going to have to upgrade every home and every business in America. That's
00:18:25.420 multiple, obviously, thousands of dollars. And who pays for that? I guess, does the government,
00:18:30.000 or do you force every homeowner to upgrade their house? This just shows what an asset idea this is.
00:18:36.160 Unbelievable. There is an argument, right? And I think it's compelling in the future that maybe
00:18:43.480 solar power will be able to provide energy for us at some point in the future. But that future does
00:18:48.860 not come with panels on your house. That's a band-aid solution for people who want to do it
00:18:53.940 right now. And if that's you, it might fit your need. I think Glenn has solar power in his ranch.
00:18:58.760 Oh, yeah, he does. He's got a really good solar system at his ranch.
00:19:01.880 Because he lives in the middle of nowhere. His house is in the middle of nowhere. And it makes
00:19:06.680 sense for him to use it there. And that is that's the case for some people. And by the way,
00:19:11.240 it costs a fortune to do. Yep. And maintenance doesn't work. It doesn't work half the time.
00:19:16.260 It's up and down. There's all sorts of problems with it. And they haven't solved it yet. At some
00:19:20.280 point, they may. But if I think they will at some point, I do, too. They just haven't. But if they do it,
00:19:26.540 it's not going to be localized on your roof panels. Certainly not the ones that exist now.
00:19:32.340 They'll probably do it in a central area like they do with nuclear power, right? Or they do with
00:19:37.540 coal power, right? You're going to have a power plant. You're going to have it distributed that
00:19:41.440 way. If the battery technology is able to improve by a lot, there's a possibility to store a lot of
00:19:48.980 that power and utilize it in those ways. But I mean, it would have to improve in immense amounts at this
00:19:54.160 point. Yeah. But you're certainly not going to start retrofitting houses for today's technology.
00:19:58.180 That makes no sense. Germany did this. Absolutely crazy. Germany did this. They did. They were like, 0.93
00:20:02.780 you know what? Solar's the future. Global warming's bad. Blah, blah, blah. So they made a government
00:20:07.380 program. They invested billions and billions of dollars in solar panels. And everyone was like,
00:20:12.240 well, they're going to. This is great. They're going to cut the emissions. Yeah, it might be a little
00:20:15.440 expensive. But the government was stepping in to make sure those bills weren't so high. So again,
00:20:19.480 they're paying for the panels. Then they're paying for the. It was all subsidized.
00:20:22.700 Extreme cost, right? They're making that better. But even with that, what happened was five years
00:20:29.220 later, once they got all this stuff installed, it was ancient technology. It was outdated technology.
00:20:36.340 And so now what they have, their entire country is littered with ancient, old, inefficient solar panels
00:20:42.860 that no longer do nearly as much as if they would have waited a few years for the technology to
00:20:47.200 improve. And it has improved quickly. It's much better than it was 10 or 15 years ago.
00:20:51.800 But it's not there for mass use yet. And it may, I mean, it may never get there. I think it will.
00:20:58.440 We have technologies that will do the sorts of things they're looking for,
00:21:01.980 but they don't want nuclear power. Nuclear power is there. There's a, there's a group of
00:21:06.560 environmentalists, leftists, who think global warming is the biggest deal in the world.
00:21:11.920 And they are out there trying to convince other leftists, Hey guys, nuclear power is the answer
00:21:17.500 to this. It's safe. It's there. We already know how to use it. There's a lot of technology in the
00:21:24.020 nuclear infrastructure kind of exists in most places already. Exactly. Um, you know, other countries
00:21:28.540 have, I mean, France, I think it's 80% of the power. It's a lot of nuclear, but that's older technology
00:21:32.560 too. There's advancements in nuclear technology that have never been implemented here because we are,
00:21:38.740 uh, we were all afraid of it. Right. You know, um, and that move could actually,
00:21:43.180 it could do what both conservatives and liberals want, right? Liberals could get their global warming 0.97
00:21:47.420 stuff. Conservatives could get power that we don't have to import that, you know, we could solve our,
00:21:52.360 our electricity problems endlessly. Yeah. If you want the China syndrome to happen all over America, 0.99
00:21:57.840 is that what you want? Is that what you're hoping for? What you're talking about? The China
00:22:01.080 syndrome. Does that sound familiar to you? I don't. Well, yes, it sounds familiar,
00:22:04.780 clear, but it didn't happen. None of this has ever happened. Look at all the people who died at
00:22:10.880 Three Mile Island. Nobody died. Nobody. That's right. The worst exposure at Three Mile Island was
00:22:15.720 the set of full chest x-rays. That is legitimately the truth. That is legitimately the truth. Yeah,
00:22:20.660 it is. A set of chest x-rays, which you go in and get willingly at the doctor's office.
00:22:27.320 Okay. We have that Ocasio-Cortez tweet. We'll do that next here on the Glenn Beck program. It's
00:22:30.860 Pat and Stu in for Glenn.
00:22:34.780 Glenn's back on Monday. This is Pat and Stu for Glenn, 888-727-BECK. Been talking about
00:22:41.460 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her new green deal, which is fantastic. I hope it's implemented right
00:22:49.060 away so everybody can retrofit their homes at their own cost or the cost of the government. That'd be
00:22:55.300 just as good because either way, it's going to be really affordable. Coincidentally, that's also our
00:23:00.800 own cost. I don't know if anyone knows this. Either way, you're paying for it. Yeah. Yeah. So
00:23:05.540 it's very New Deal sounding. It's very FDR second Bill of Rights sounding, which his second Bill of
00:23:14.700 Rights was very similar to the Soviet Constitution. Right. And that's what her, all of her proposals 0.51
00:23:22.240 are. They're, they're, they're, it's communism. It's socialism. So, uh, I mean, additional members
00:23:29.580 like bait measures she's taking, she's proposing like basic income programs, universal healthcare
00:23:35.380 programs, uh, free education, of course, which is talked about forever. So if you're going to have
00:23:42.340 a basic income, you got to have guaranteed jobs. And that was proposed in the second Bill of Rights
00:23:47.420 as well. Um, so trillions, I mean, literally trillions and tens of trillions of dollars for
00:23:53.920 all of these programs, but trust this 28 year old, uh, waitress. Oh yeah. She's going to be great 0.99
00:23:58.180 months ago. She's going to be fantastic. Great. Again, I have no, uh, I'm fascinated by her in the
00:24:03.760 idea that I think it's a great thing for Republicans to have someone like this. That's so easily can
00:24:08.960 define the left. It's so like she is a cartoon character of what the typical representative on the
00:24:16.680 left is right. She's saying she's a socialist. She's constantly making mistakes about her job. 0.78
00:24:21.660 She'd, you know, well, she thought she was going to be inaugurated and start signing bills when she 1.00
00:24:25.600 got into office. Neither one of those things are things not for a Congress person. No, no. Uh, so
00:24:30.840 that's a, and that, that that's easy, right? It's easy to make fun of her. I will say there's a risk
00:24:35.220 there. The risk with the making fun of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is she may earn herself the air of, um, 1.00
00:24:45.000 I don't know. I don't know what, I don't know what it is. I'll give you two people who have it
00:24:48.620 though. Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Sometimes Donald Trump says things and you're like,
00:24:53.120 what is he talking about? But everyone, it's like, well, it's Trump and he just sometimes messes up.
00:24:58.200 The same thing with Biden. Like Biden will blurt things out and you're just like, ah, it's just Joe.
00:25:02.200 Yeah. It's factored into the equation for both of them now. Exactly. And you, and, and once you get
00:25:06.360 that, you're like a superhero. Yeah. It's like you have an immunity to kryptonite, you know,
00:25:10.500 and you can just do whatever you want. You can't be hurt. And that is, uh, it's something that I,
00:25:15.500 I, I, I brought this up before. I think that it makes Biden an actual threat. I know no one thinks
00:25:21.120 he is because he's a buffoon. And it made Donald Trump president of the United States. It was one
00:25:26.800 of the things because she couldn't rattle him. She, it didn't matter if he made a mistake. It
00:25:30.940 didn't matter if he said, like it didn't matter. It just, he just, he just able to roll through it
00:25:35.580 because he has that. He can exaggerate. Everybody just adds. That's what he does.
00:25:39.580 That's what he does. And that's, and it was okay because that's what he does. And she's
00:25:42.960 getting to the point now where what she does is she makes silly comments that have no relation
00:25:48.640 to the reality and people sort of just laugh it off and make fun of her. And it's just part
00:25:53.240 of her equation. And if she gets that, uh, it's, it's, it's something oddly becomes a superhero.
00:26:00.080 Yeah. It's oddly desirable if you're a politician. Yeah. If you can, it's hard to get to that
00:26:05.280 point. You know, it's hard because it's a rough road when people at the beginning, people make
00:26:10.980 fun of you and they think, oh, well that's, uh, he, he made this mistake and, and it, it,
00:26:15.540 it feels like it's a big controversy. But if you get to that point where no one cares anymore
00:26:19.560 and they just say, ah, it's just Joe Biden. It's just Joe. That's what Joe does. Come
00:26:23.340 on. That's a great place to be screw up over and over again. And no one cares. So Ocasio
00:26:30.000 Cortez, the one thing they say about her is no, the one thing you need to realize she's very
00:26:33.940 dangerous. You know why? Because she understands social media. She is, she's out there. She's
00:26:39.320 young. She knows she's schooling all these politicians on social media. And I keep seeing
00:26:44.760 the stuff that she's doing. She keeps going back and forth with conservative personalities.
00:26:48.040 And I've yet to see her make a point. That is the only thing she does is turn herself into an 1.00
00:26:54.160 immediate victim. She has a, a victim button, uh, which is the same button as her tweet button.
00:26:59.180 And so when someone says something that is critical of her, she says, it's because I'm
00:27:03.200 a woman or it's because I'm young or it's, it's because I'm whatever, you know, uh, whatever
00:27:07.920 background she has. I don't even know whatever it is. Uh, it is, that's the reason why someone's
00:27:14.080 saying it. It's because of sexism or racism or classism or whatever. It's always her being
00:27:19.360 the victim. When someone is critical of one of her policies, if you most famously probably
00:27:24.540 is the Ben Shapiro example where she, Ben said, Hey, I would love to debate you on my
00:27:29.600 show, um, uh, about your policies. And she said, um, Oh, are you cat calling me? And
00:27:36.180 it's like cat calling you're a politician. He wants to debate you on his policies. No,
00:27:41.320 she's not cat calling you. I don't think he has any interest in you, uh, in that way.
00:27:45.280 Wow. And it was like, Oh, well, I guess I have to be, um, uh, a man's going to tell me
00:27:50.280 where I have to go. No, it's an interview request. This is, these are not difficult
00:27:54.080 concepts. Um, and you know, um, uh, but, uh, Michael Knowles also from, uh, from daily
00:28:00.220 wire was going, Curtis, criticizing one of her tweets. And, and she again came back
00:28:05.380 and was like, Oh, I'm being mansplained, uh, my history here by some guy. It's like
00:28:12.220 everything turns her into a class identity victim. That's the only thing she does. So she 1.00
00:28:18.580 is on Twitter. Um, as she's, you know, getting to, I guess, Washington and going
00:28:22.400 through the process of becoming a new Congresswoman and she gets a plaque on the
00:28:26.620 wall and the plaque says, you know, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez representative, blah, blah,
00:28:31.100 blah, the Bronx. And she tweets out a picture of that. Now tweeting out a picture
00:28:35.300 of that is of course just a humble brag, right? She's just saying, look at me. I'm a
00:28:38.580 look how shiny and new my plaque is, but she writes the, the, the tweet is, uh, don't
00:28:45.560 be fooled by the plaques that I've got. I'm still, I'm still Alex from the Bronx.
00:28:52.640 Now, if, if brilliant, brilliant, and she knows how to use social media. If that does 0.99
00:28:58.360 not make you wince, squirm, squeamish, uh, it make it like just watching a bad comedian
00:29:06.620 bomb on stage. If that doesn't make you feel that way, you are in a cult. You are in a cult
00:29:12.820 in which you cannot, you are like looking at David Koresh said something that's normally
00:29:16.460 would make me squeamish, but he's David Koresh. So I have to say it's good. That is 1.00
00:29:20.820 you. If, if you are in a position in which you think it's a good idea and a funny, cute
00:29:27.340 thing for someone to force their name into a crappy Jennifer Lopez song, then you are in 1.00
00:29:34.240 a cult and you need to be rescued from the cult.
00:29:38.400 Wait, you didn't just call Jenny from the block crappy. Yes, I did. It was, it was a
00:29:45.000 joke when Jennifer Lopez did it. People made fun of her then for it. And she's coming out
00:29:52.000 now doing it and putting, forcing her name into the song. And the other part, which is
00:29:56.120 hilarious about it is that Jenny from the block, the piece of art that it is, is quite
00:30:03.640 obviously and clearly a pro capitalism song. It is a song about a person rising from the
00:30:10.840 Bronx into incredible wealth, not, not bureaucratic power, incredible wealth. And she's saying,
00:30:18.460 well, I have a lot. I mean, again, uh, what is it? Um, don't be fooled by the rocks that
00:30:22.840 I got. She's talking, she's got lots of diamonds guys. She's very rich. I mean, it's basically
00:30:27.620 Jennifer Lopez bragging about being rich. Yeah. But I'm still humble like when I was
00:30:34.060 on the block. Right, exactly. Uh, she's celeb-splaining, uh, to her peons that it's 1.00
00:30:39.740 okay. She's still a regular person despite the zillions of dollars that she have, has. 1.00
00:30:44.120 And by the way, I, I, she worked for it. Unlike Ocasio-Cortez, uh, she, who is going to become
00:30:50.680 rich because she will write a dumb book and a bunch of stupid people will buy it and she'll 1.00
00:30:55.220 become a millionaire. She'll go on a speaking tour, whatever. And she'll make millions of 1.00
00:30:58.600 dollars. Exactly. Um, and that will happen not because, uh, she even could sing or act
00:31:04.120 as well as Jennifer Lopez. So that, that's saying something. Um, but again, this is a song
00:31:10.100 which explicitly is about, used to have a little, now I have a lot. She's talking about having
00:31:16.900 a lot of money and she has risen through the capitalist system from a, a point of, of not
00:31:23.400 having a lot of money to incredible prominence and fame and, and glory. And it's about actually
00:31:29.980 distributing her money to other people who, uh, are poor. Is that what it's about? Or
00:31:36.040 the government comes in and takes it and then redistributes it to others who don't have as
00:31:40.940 much as Jenny from the block. Now I can't say I typically made it past the first chorus,
00:31:44.800 but it's scanning. Yeah. I think it's in the fifth. Okay. Hold on. Let me read down. Scroll
00:31:49.540 down a ways. And I'm saying she's very repetitive here, but I don't see much about the government
00:31:54.300 redistributing her wealth. There's no plan for her. And why don't I pay as many, much taxes 1.00
00:31:58.360 as my assistants? She never mentions that in this song. Uh, but again, like the, the type
00:32:04.700 of, uh, of success Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been able to achieve is achievable in the Soviet 0.93
00:32:11.520 Union. Anyone can rise up to low level bureaucracy in a communist state. Yeah. That is the problem
00:32:18.460 with it. You, you aspire to get to bureaucracy. This is the whole problem with the system. And she 0.57
00:32:25.140 is here sitting here thinking it's a giant achievement and something to brag about that
00:32:30.020 she's become a Congresswoman. It's something that our representatives at the beginning used to be, 1.00
00:32:35.740 um, hesitant to even want. They used to say, you know what? Yeah, I'll do it,
00:32:41.080 but I'm coming home for six months because I want to work the farm too. You know, this is something
00:32:46.160 that we used to reject as a country. And now it's just cute and adorable that she's forcing your 0.77
00:32:51.940 name into some C level. I mean, it's not even a good Jennifer Lopez song. If you were going to say
00:32:57.500 here are the top 10 Jennifer Lopez songs, is there a good Jennifer Lopez song? Yes,
00:33:02.420 I'm sure there is not aware of one, but I could give you a lot. As soon as I press these buttons
00:33:08.100 on my computer and find out the names of some of things to, uh, wait for a discography to pop up.
00:33:15.600 I can name all of them. Uh, I mean,
00:33:18.860 she's got to have one. You would think, but I, all I know is Jenny from the block. So,
00:33:27.500 uh, I mean, that's not even, I'm sure that's not even her biggest hit. Jennifer, uh, Jenny from the
00:33:31.980 block. I mean, she had, she actually had a pretty good run there on the floor. Uh, yeah. So booty 1.00
00:33:37.060 as main artist, uh, I have the singles here. What are you going? Ain't your mama. Uh, I'm real
00:33:44.700 dance again. Uh, okay, here we go. Yeah. I have the, here we go. Uh, if you had my love was a
00:33:52.480 number one song waiting for really? Yeah. Waiting for tonight. Number eight. Love don't cost a thing.
00:33:57.560 Number three. Wow. Play number 18. I'm real. Number one. Ain't it funny. Number one. Uh, wait,
00:34:04.560 no. Like on the like billboard charts. Yeah. She had a big, she had a good run in the early
00:34:10.420 two thousands. Uh, I'm going to be all right. Number 10. Jenny from the block went to number
00:34:14.140 three. So not even a number one. Not even one. Wow. Am I glad I got out of music radio in about
00:34:18.520 1999. That, uh, that's a relief. And then I have number one again. And then she had on the floor 0.75
00:34:24.840 number three. I mean, she had a pretty, pretty decent run. And then obviously the huge hits like
00:34:30.320 made in Manhattan and Gigli when it comes to the acting side. So it was a good, it was a good run.
00:34:36.440 But again, even if you hate all of those songs, at least she did something. Yeah. Right. You know,
00:34:41.220 what did Ocasio-Cortez do? She ran one campaign, which she, I mean, it was a pretty amazing win, 0.98
00:34:46.920 but that's really the cause of her celebrity, right? It's not that she had amazing policies or 0.99
00:34:50.960 was so brilliant. It was that she was, everyone was kind of surprised she won. Yeah. That is really
00:34:56.060 her celebrity. That's it. And I mean, when you think it's a good idea, it's not, I'm not
00:35:00.860 criticizing, you know, if you're in the Bronx, you can vote for whoever you want. And yes,
00:35:04.320 it's, I'm sure it's great for a 28 year old to be a Congresswoman. It's got to be pretty, 0.99
00:35:07.780 pretty incredible. It's actually not. At some level. No. No? Okay. I'm trying to give some
00:35:11.920 sound here. It's actually not. But I mean, shouldn't even, you shouldn't even be voting yet when
00:35:16.680 you're 28. But objectively, forcing your name into a crappy Jennifer Lopez song is not making
00:35:23.680 you some social media brilliant person. No. You're not, you are, that is terrible. It's
00:35:30.100 terrible. And it should make you wince. When you read it, you're like, oh God. It's like,
00:35:35.340 there was a, one of the things I love watching on like comedy shows, like there was, I remember
00:35:39.700 Cheers had Cliff Clavin and he went up and tried to do standup comedy. There is nothing like
00:35:44.600 watching someone bomb on standup comedy. It makes you, it gives you that internal, like it
00:35:50.300 turns your organs inside out. It's so uncomfortable. Yeah. Yeah. To watch. That's how I felt reading
00:35:54.740 that tweet. And if you didn't feel that way, you're in a cult. You, you, are you wearing
00:35:59.640 some red robe right now? Are you, is that what's happening to you? What is going on in
00:36:04.020 your life in which you think that's a good tweet? That is not a good tweet. Her, her green 1.00
00:36:08.580 policies are going to destroy the country. That tweet should destroy the internet. It's that
00:36:12.660 crappy. Admit it. Triple eight, seven, two, seven, B E C K. Uh, more Pat and Stu for Glenn
00:36:20.140 on the Glenn Beck program. That's Pat and Stu, uh, for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program trick
00:36:28.140 triple eight, seven, two, seven B E C K. Uh, also Bernie Sanders is, uh, running into a little
00:36:34.420 bit of an issue now. Yeah, I think it's revealing. Um, it is a big expose thousands of words on Bernie
00:36:41.320 Sanders and his 2016 campaign where the claims are that Bernie Sanders, uh, paid his, the women
00:36:49.040 in his campaign less, less than men, less than men, and also treated them terribly and sexually
00:36:54.480 harassed them a lot. Now, not, there's no accusation against Bernie in particular. It was his staff
00:36:58.700 members, but I mean, he's kind of responsible for, for paydays, right? I mean, if, if he sees
00:37:05.420 he's responsible for all of it ultimately. And if it was Donald Trump who was being accused
00:37:10.740 of harassment by some of his people, or he wasn't paying women as much as men, uh, they'd
00:37:16.620 be all over Donald Trump for this all over him. And we'll, we'll have to play what he
00:37:20.320 said about it, uh, coming up here in a few minutes, because it's amazing. It's amazing.
00:37:25.100 He takes no responsibility for it essentially. And that's, I think there's something revealing
00:37:29.620 about what's happening with Bernie Sanders and, and what this, the signals that Democrats
00:37:34.460 are sending to Bernie this time around.
00:37:36.680 Like we don't want you, we don't want you to be the signal.
00:37:39.580 I think that's it. Please don't run. We have new people here that are going to take your
00:37:42.840 socialist mantle.
00:37:50.700 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program today featuring
00:37:58.680 Pat Gray and Stuber gear. By the way, speaking of, uh, Pat Gray, uh, on his show tomorrow,
00:38:05.180 see if I could refer to myself in third person on his show tomorrow. He's, uh, he's going
00:38:10.760 to be joined, I believe by Stuber gear for more on trivia.
00:38:15.340 Well, I felt like it was, it was just something that needed. I needed to step in for my friend,
00:38:18.580 Jeffy, uh, Jeff Fisher, who had a heart attack. If you didn't hear, he's okay. He's recovering
00:38:23.180 nicely at home. Um, but I needed to step in for a, for commissioner duties and it had nothing
00:38:28.280 to do with anything to do with the fact that it was Philadelphia against Chicago. That just
00:38:32.740 a coincidence to you in your mind. I'm sorry. What? Oh, yeah. It's the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:38:37.460 I didn't even know that. Huh? I didn't even know that. I just care about my friend, Jeffy.
00:38:41.140 That's it. Wow. That's sweet. That's all I do. That's really sweet and thoughtful, Stu. That's
00:38:45.580 nice. I'm excited about this more on trivia. Yeah. And now we're, we, we, we were wrong
00:38:51.620 the, on the, uh, last more on trivia before Christmas vacation. So we're 13 and three on the
00:38:58.440 season. So pretty, pretty dang good. Pretty good. We would have made the playoffs. I'll
00:39:02.640 tell you that. And probably had a first round by, uh, but, uh, 13 and three. And, uh, so
00:39:07.780 the playoff version, uh, tomorrow on Pat Gray unleashed right before the Glenn Beck program
00:39:14.100 and you get his radio and TV and you get the podcast as well. Don't forget about that on
00:39:17.420 iTunes anytime you want it. And that's where you find Jeffy's podcast too. When he's back
00:39:21.480 he should be back. He says he's going to be back next week, but we don't want him to push
00:39:26.180 it if he's not, you know, feeling it or we don't necessarily need him to come back at
00:39:30.340 all. I mean like he, he's so good at home and like maybe he just stays. Yeah. Just stay.
00:39:36.840 Jeffy's going through a heart attack. And at one point Pat's like, it's just, it's weird
00:39:40.640 to do the Jeffy jokes right now. I mean, now remember, keep in mind, Jeffy was doing the
00:39:44.720 Jeffy jokes in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Yes, he was. So that is, that
00:39:48.760 is how ingrained into him. And his wife is taking photos for social media in the middle
00:39:54.200 of him getting into the ambulance. So to make sure that she documented the fact that the EMT
00:39:58.700 was having a hell of a hard time pushing him up a hill. Yes. By himself. But as Pat's like,
00:40:05.120 I don't know if I can do these Jeffy jokes anymore. It could have been eight seconds
00:40:07.920 later he made a Jeffy joke. Like it just rolled off his tongue. Like it was the easiest thing
00:40:11.760 in the world. So much a part of us now. It is. That it's going to be hard. Well, it will
00:40:16.220 be interesting to see if Bernie Sanders can distance himself from, from this part of his
00:40:21.660 campaign because this is interesting. 2016, uh, he apparently during his, his historic
00:40:27.280 run to 40% and to lose by several million votes to Hillary Clinton during that historic run 0.75
00:40:32.380 that everyone was only 4 million though, wasn't it? I think it was like 4 million votes. It
00:40:35.400 was like, Oh, they stole, uh, Hillary stole it. She won by 4 million votes over him. It was
00:40:42.080 never like it had nothing to do with super delegates. It could have had something to do with super
00:40:46.800 he performed better, but he didn't. So they didn't need super delegates. She just, I mean, 0.97
00:40:51.260 look, she won in a very, um, unimpressive fashion. That's where I think people get confused. She 0.91
00:40:58.240 beat Bernie Sanders in an unimpressive fashion, which indicated the lack of passion for her going
00:41:03.780 into the general. And I, I think people expected her to maybe sweep every state or something. And 0.99
00:41:09.440 he won 22 states instead. So I wouldn't have been surprised, you know, he wins Vermont. Maybe he
00:41:14.340 wins New Hampshire. Yeah. Or he maybe wins two or three. Yeah. Maybe he's competitive in some of
00:41:20.220 the early States and then, okay, it's Hillary. And then she sweeps. I mean, the fact that she lost 1.00
00:41:25.140 more than let's say five States is an absolute embarrassment and should have told the Democrats
00:41:29.440 that she was in big trouble from the beginning. Yeah. You know, I mean, she was absolutely the worst
00:41:33.460 possible candidate, uh, that they could have run and they all seem to admit it now, but at the time
00:41:39.220 they acted like she was the most inspirational person of all time. Well, Bernie didn't make a lot
00:41:43.980 of friends pushing her to the brink, uh, among Democrats because no, they were, they wanted
00:41:49.400 him to get out, get out so she could focus on Trump. And he, he kept staying in and pushing
00:41:55.140 and pushing and pushing, um, making her take further left-wing positions on certain issues. 1.00
00:42:00.880 It was not helpful to Democrats that Bernie, uh, did that. At least some Democrats believe
00:42:05.320 that. So I, this is what I believe is, I suspect is behind this article in the New York
00:42:11.240 Times today. Times has come out with an article entitled sexism claims from Bernie Sanders,
00:42:16.280 2016 run women paid less and treated worse. And it goes through women telling their stories,
00:42:22.400 me too stories, right? About they're at work. They're told, uh, you know, a guy says, I want
00:42:28.140 to put, run my fingers through your hair and then hits on her all day and she can't get away 1.00
00:42:33.320 from him and she wants to quit, but she doesn't know how all the stories that you heard, I mean,
00:42:36.840 not to Harvey Weinstein levels, but like the stuff that you heard, like this coercion is
00:42:41.580 making women uncomfortable in the workplace. All of those things that just harassment,
00:42:45.760 harassment, sexual harassment. Um, they're, they're making those claims. Now, again, we're
00:42:49.860 supposed to believe all women as we all know. Um, no woman has ever told a lie in history,
00:42:54.500 which is even if you apologize tough. Yeah, I'm sorry. You lose your job. Right. And certainly
00:42:59.940 if you act like aloof about it and you don't care about it, then you're really in trouble,
00:43:04.360 right? That's the way, that's the pattern here. Now, Sanders is asked about this and I believe
00:43:08.640 it was CNN about these harassment claims. Listen to his answer. Just lastly, I want to ask you about
00:43:14.840 an article that was published in the New York times today in it or allegations describing episodes of
00:43:19.340 sexual harassment and demeaning treatment as well as pay disparity in your 2016 campaign. I'm wondering,
00:43:24.940 were you aware of those allegations during the campaign? And if you do run into 2020,
00:43:29.440 how can you ensure something like that doesn't happen again? Good question. And the answer is,
00:43:34.640 Anderson, I'm very proud of the campaign we ran in 2016. You know, we started it.
00:43:39.920 Wait a minute. You're very proud of the campaign after you just outlined all the harassment
00:43:44.240 and the pay disparity and you're, you're proud.
00:43:47.120 4% of the polls, we ended up winning 22 states, 13 million votes. I think we changed the nature of
00:43:54.100 political discourse in this country, raising issues that are now kind of mainstream, which were then
00:43:59.540 considered extreme. That's a good point. And fringe. Yeah. But when our campaign. Yeah,
00:44:03.900 he made socialism mainstream. Congratulations on that. That's great. Grew from, I think we started
00:44:09.080 with three or four paid employees. And over a period of a few months as the campaign exploded,
00:44:16.240 we went up to, I think, 1200 employees. So what you're saying is it's, it was too much for you to
00:44:21.800 manage, but now you want to manage the United States of America with 320 million people.
00:44:27.020 Is that more than 1200? Yeah, it is a little bit, slightly. I will say the other thing too, is
00:44:31.360 when you have 1200 employees, you're going to have to harass some of them. That is a general,
00:44:37.080 it's business 101. You're going to grow some of the 1200, right? That's something that happens
00:44:42.320 and we all need to understand it. And I am not going to sit here and tell you that we did everything
00:44:46.800 right in terms of human resources, in terms of addressing the needs that I'm hearing from now,
00:44:52.880 that women felt disrespected, that there was sexual harassment, which was not dealt with as
00:44:57.620 effectively as possible. What I will tell you is that when I ran for reelection in 2018 in Vermont,
00:45:04.820 we put forward the strongest set of principles in terms of mandatory training, in terms of women,
00:45:11.800 if they felt harassed, having an independent firm that they can go to. And I think that's kind of,
00:45:17.720 you know, the gold standard for what we should be doing. So I certainly apologize to any woman who 1.00
00:45:22.060 felt that she was not treated appropriately. And of course, if I run, we will do better on next time.
00:45:27.340 And just to be clear, you seem to indicate that you did not know at the time about the allegations.
00:45:32.280 Is that correct?
00:45:33.540 I, yes, I was a little bit busy running around the country trying to make the case.
00:45:39.020 Oh, he was busy. He was busy. You don't have time to check on, you know, how employees are being
00:45:44.100 treated and you're busy. I didn't know you were busy. It's completely rational to understand that
00:45:51.320 he was busy and he doesn't know every single employee interaction would never be given the
00:45:56.060 benefit of the doubt if it was a conservative doing that, a Republican doing it. Nope. And I will say
00:46:00.140 this, like the fact that this came out at all, the fact that they're bringing out this,
00:46:05.860 these allegations and asking these follow-ups and pushing him to say, wait, wait, wait a minute.
00:46:10.780 What do you mean he was running around the country? He didn't care?
00:46:13.140 It shows how they feel about him.
00:46:15.160 It's changed. It's changed with him. Now the way it's kind of changed with Hillary.
00:46:19.160 Yeah. And I think they're done with both of them.
00:46:20.520 I think they're saying, Bernie, we've got the socialist policy thing down. We know how to do
00:46:24.380 that. We don't need you anymore. I'd rather have someone new and young and fresh to run.
00:46:28.640 May I also point out the fact that there is no A in the word better?
00:46:32.760 No, it's better. B-E-T-T-A. No, I'm pretty sure it's B-E-T-T-A-H is the way you, is the way you
00:46:40.280 spell it. So there is an A in the word. Okay. Okay. It's all right. All right.
00:46:43.660 Uh, 888-727-BEC is the number. You're never more than 60 seconds away from the show. We're
00:46:47.540 going to take a quick 60 second break and then back with an amazing quote from someone

00:48:09.100 Ooh, just looking at the Dow, it's down another 571 today. That's ugly. I'm starting to get a
00:48:16.160 little nervous. There have been a lot of ups and downs. Now they're saying that something
00:48:19.480 like 60% of people believe we have a recession coming in the next year. And if you remember
00:48:24.580 right, back in 2008, and we'll get to the Bernie Sanders thing in just a second, but if you
00:48:27.940 remember back in 2008, I remember this. You had some of the biggest, you know, terrible
00:48:33.460 market crash days in history. Yeah. But you also had some of the biggest gains in a single
00:48:40.140 day in history. Yeah. And we've seen that bouncing back and forth the past couple of weeks.
00:48:44.060 I mean, there's a day went over a thousand points. Yeah. Last week it went up a thousand
00:48:47.340 24 points or something like that. Biggest day in history. Yeah. And then you're on the
00:48:50.840 next, you know, three days later, seeing down 600 points. The other thing we had back in
00:48:54.120 2007 that we again have now is Glenn Beck saying, get out of the stock market. And it's starting
00:49:00.380 to kind of have an effect on me. I'm wondering, shouldn't that be doing that? Yeah. I mean,
00:49:05.220 I think it's a good time to at least think about your risk levels. Yeah. I mean, if you're
00:49:10.080 close to needing the money, you may want to reduce those risk levels. Again, I'm no financial advisor,
00:49:14.820 and certainly Glenn is not either. You know, very true. We've seen that before. But he
00:49:20.100 has a good sense for this type of thing. And so he'll be back on Monday to talk about it
00:49:24.320 in detail. One other thing I wanted to pull out of this article before we move off from
00:49:27.400 it, Glenn, or Pat, for when it comes to Bernie Sanders. You know, again, the campaign being
00:49:33.940 accused of sexual harassment, he's basically blowing it off. Look, I look, I was all around
00:49:37.120 the country. He's trying to say like, well, Jeff Weaver, his campaign manager says anybody
00:49:41.640 who has committed sexual harassment on the campaign would not be asked back. Well, that's
00:49:45.140 good. That's a good first step. Thank you. We're not going to. That's great. Look, Harvey Weinstein,
00:49:49.720 you're welcome anytime at the campaign headquarters. I got it. Of course, you're not going to do
00:49:54.600 that. But listen to this quote. And this is, again, his defense. This is something where Jeff
00:49:59.940 Weaver, he's the head of the campaign from 2016. And he's trying to defend the whole situation.
00:50:09.020 Yeah, we had problems, but we're going to solve them. This is what he says, essentially
00:50:13.960 says the problems are. Quote, was it too male? Yes. Was it too white? Yes. Would this be
00:50:21.920 a priority to remedy on any future campaign? Definitely. You want to, you want to remedy
00:50:28.560 the priority, this is a priority remedy to get rid of men and white people? Now, again, 1.00
00:50:35.400 the very basic test of racism or sexism, and it's an easy thing that we can all do ourselves,
00:50:42.440 is read a quote word for word and just change the color or the sex. So let me attempt this
00:50:49.220 to you and think about how this would sound if any Republican said these words. Was it,
00:50:55.400 I was going to say, were there too many chicks? Essentially what he's saying. Was it too female?
00:51:00.660 Too many females on the campaign? Yes. Were there too many blacks? Yes. But it would be a priority to 1.00
00:51:06.740 remedy this on any future campaign. Would that be acceptable? Would that be acceptable? Not in
00:51:11.080 anybody's world. No. Would not be acceptable. It shouldn't, it shouldn't be acceptable. But for
00:51:16.300 some reason, for whites and for men, it is. It is. And Christians. Whites, men, and Christians, 0.85
00:51:21.800 you can discriminate if you want. It's so strange. It's like the very basic tenet that everybody should be
00:51:28.520 able to get behind, is don't make decisions based on skin color. Don't make decisions based on gender.
00:51:35.420 These are very easy things. These are, like, I don't, I can't even, I don't know anybody who does
00:51:42.840 that. Does anybody sit around and say, you know what, I would do this except he's black, or I would 1.00
00:51:46.920 do this except, I'm sure there are people out there. Nobody I know. Right. Like, again, you know,
00:51:50.280 people said Jews will not replace us enchanted with torches in Charlottesville. We know there are
00:51:55.440 people out there, but it's, it's a very small minority of a minority of a minority who think
00:52:01.700 that way in the year 2018. It is a, I will give a quote to the New York Times position that we have
00:52:08.320 too many white men around. We are making decisions based on skin color. We are making decisions based 0.96
00:52:15.980 on gender. And not only will I give that quote to the New York Times, it's my defense.
00:52:21.280 It's amazing. It's so unquestioned that you could have too many white people or too many men
00:52:27.020 that you will say, you know what, your honor, I have, I, my attorney's going to make my best
00:52:32.400 case argument. Here it is. Oh yeah, we had too many whites around. Like that's, that's completely 1.00
00:52:38.280 okay. No one will question it. Don't make decisions based on skin color. Don't make decisions based
00:52:47.280 on race. Don't make decisions based on gender. Don't make decisions based on your religious,
00:52:53.540 you know, if you're trying to exclude a religious group, this is what the country was supposedly
00:52:58.000 founded on. And not, while not every person in that era executed it well. And also reinforced in
00:53:02.240 the 60s was somebody we all revere, you know, Martin Luther King. And that, it's just the opposite
00:53:08.120 of that now. That's just all been discarded. There's, there's no, don't judge a man by the,
00:53:13.600 by the color of his skin. That's all we judge them on. Yep. Too many whites, not enough blacks, 1.00
00:53:19.440 not enough Hispanics, not enough women, too many men. That's all we think. Well, what about their 1.00
00:53:24.980 character? What about their skills? Can we talk about merit at all? No, no, we can't. So that's
00:53:31.220 out the window. It's been flushed down the toilet. I mean, what happened to the days where we had
00:53:35.120 artists who would come to the table and say, it's raining men. Hallelujah. It's raining men, 1.00
00:53:40.820 right? They were excited about the men who were raining down on our society. They don't seem
00:53:46.560 excited anymore. That song couldn't be written today. No. You, you would not be able. Maybe
00:53:51.800 that's a good thing. Okay, that's the one benefit. Yeah, that's the one thing. I'll give them that.
00:53:55.380 All right, 888-727-BECK. This is the Glenn Beck Program. Let's talk about something real here. You can put
00:54:04.080 off a lot of things in life. You don't have to join a gym. You can clean your gutters, but usually they will
00:54:09.140 rot off your house. But here's another thing you shouldn't put off, and that is getting home
00:54:12.580 security. It's your home. It's your family. It's your stuff. You want to protect it, but there's
00:54:17.400 always something holding you back. And most likely it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or
00:54:21.840 paying a middleman and being indebted forever. It also could be the fact that they want you to
00:54:26.240 schedule a six-hour installation window. You don't have time for that. Simply Safe Home Security
00:54:30.700 has gotten rid of all of those reasons not to get home security. And I'm about to tell you how to save
00:54:35.620 a ton, too. These guys are really great. They don't have any contracts. There's no wiring.

00:55:05.620 Pat and Stu for Glenn. Glenn's back on Monday. 888-727-BECK. Jerry Brown, who I think is
00:55:19.300 finally going to be done in his rule of California, right? Isn't that coming to an end finally?
00:55:24.920 I mean, he's got to run again, right? He can't just go away. I hope so. I hope so. He's only,
00:55:29.760 what, 104 or something? Isn't he the one, too, that ran for president and actually as a Democrat
00:55:37.920 and was proposing a flat tax? Isn't that him? Or am I getting him confused with one of his
00:55:43.020 competitors? It was in that race. I don't know. When he was, like, way back in the...
00:55:47.520 Like the 80s or 90s. I think he first ran. Was it the 60s? He first ran for president? I don't know.
00:55:52.980 It seems like it. But he's on to something right now with his, you know, climate change
00:56:01.880 discussion. He is. He is. He's on to something. And he is, as is always the case, if you are on
00:56:09.280 the left, you're totally free. You have a free pass to compare anyone to a Nazi. That's always okay.
00:56:17.160 Now, we heard yesterday from Bernie Sanders talking about how we should treat climate change like it's
00:56:21.440 a massive military attack and we should respond accordingly, which usually means we blow up
00:56:26.240 people who hit us like that. Like the Nazis or, let's say, the Japanese. Nice and clear example. 0.97
00:56:33.320 Japanese bomb Burl Harbor. We got pretty pissed about that. And we did some stuff after that. 0.99
00:56:37.760 True.
00:56:38.960 Not a... Two nuclear bombs, right? Two atomic bombs we dropped on them.
00:56:43.060 Eventually, yes.
00:56:44.020 So that was kind of how important we felt that was. I assume... I'd like to assume that he is not saying
00:56:50.760 we should nuke oil companies and climate change deniers. However, again, here's another piece
00:56:55.840 of the same rhetoric. This is from Jerry Brown talking to NBC News on, I believe, the broadcast
00:57:02.060 where they said, we're not going to show the other side of this issue, we promise.
00:57:04.860 I think it was on the same broadcast.
00:57:06.060 With Chuck Todd. Here he is talking about climate change.
00:57:09.140 I would point to the fact that it took Roosevelt many, many years to get America willing to go
00:57:15.720 into World War II and fight the Nazis. Well, we have an enemy, though different, but perhaps
00:57:22.380 very much devastating in a similar way. And we got to fight climate change. And the president's got
00:57:27.960 to lead on that.
00:57:29.120 Very much devastating in a similar way.
00:57:32.420 Similar way. Almost the exact same way.
00:57:34.600 If you don't know, the 0.9 degree temperature rise Celsius over the past 100 years has put millions
00:57:41.880 of Jews in concentration camps. Very, very devastating. It's like, again, you're allowed 1.00
00:57:47.860 to do this when you're on the left. The ADL Anti-Defamation League has gone after Glenn about 20 times.
00:57:54.820 Anytime he mentioned the word Nazis or Hitler, they were all over him.
00:57:58.920 Oh, of course. We have a much crazier example coming up from Hank Johnson that you need to hear today.
00:58:04.600 But it just doesn't seem to, there's no consequence to it when you're on the left.
00:58:11.100 I, you know, it's such a strange thing. If you actually believe that these problems are like this,
00:58:18.320 and they're Nazi-level problems when it comes to climate change, you can't get away with your
00:58:23.100 private jet travel. You can't get away with your SUVs, even if it's for security.
00:58:29.460 You lose all credibility. Look, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go a little Nazi for the next few hours,
00:58:35.220 because that's the only way I can do it. I'm gonna hate Jews for the next few hours. 1.00
00:58:39.620 But after that, everything will be fine. No one did that.
00:58:42.540 If you believe it's catastrophic, like they say they do, there's absolutely no reason for you to get on a
00:58:47.420 private jet and fly anywhere. There's no reason, ever.
00:58:50.080 Or any jet. Yeah. What is so important for you to go to? Right. You can do it on the internet if you
00:58:56.580 have a big meeting. Certainly not for business. Maybe you can argue for a family if you had to go
00:59:00.520 somewhere. Someone's dying in the hospital. Maybe you do that. Maybe. But you'd never do a meeting.
00:59:04.080 You'd never fly to a meeting. No way. This is the whole, the whole world is at stake. You're telling me
00:59:10.620 everyone's going to die and you're prioritizing your business meeting over it?
00:59:14.440 It really makes no sense when you actually think about it.
00:59:24.940 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. A quick reminder, you can join both of us on Pat
00:59:29.860 Gray Unleashed tomorrow, immediately preceding the show, six to eight central. For more on trivia in
00:59:36.920 the set. Well, in the second hour, we'll be doing more on trivia. So it should be a lot of fun. It's
00:59:40.920 the Eagles versus Chicago Bears this week. Playoff, more on trivia. I'll be stepping in as an
00:59:46.320 impartial. Totally impartial, I'm sure. It was just a coincidence that happened to fall on the
00:59:51.620 Philadelphia game time, right? You didn't specifically say, yes, I'll come in and do this
00:59:57.840 just because it was Philadelphia. No, I just, I'm just service to my country is how I look at it. So
01:00:03.220 that's really, we appreciate it. Thank you for doing that. No problem.
01:00:07.540 All right. The guy who brought us this. My fear is that the whole island will become so overly
01:00:18.640 populated that it will tip over and capsize. We don't anticipate that.
01:00:28.440 I love that response. That might be my favorite response to any statement ever. We don't anticipate
01:00:35.680 that, you know, Guam tipping over and capsizing. Now that same guy brought us something equally
01:00:43.260 brilliant yesterday. He did. Hank Johnson, of course, is his name. And Hank is a representative
01:00:49.220 representative. And he is speaking at the NAACP to a bunch of Democrats there. And he's talking about
01:00:56.600 this, this situation where we have a president that is easily compared to another leader. And he
01:01:05.220 makes the point so eloquently that I think you need to hear it. Listen, Adolf Hitler rose to power to lead 0.70
01:01:11.220 Germany in 1932. Oh, man. After democratic elections. He rode a wave of nationalism and anti-Semitism to
01:01:21.460 power. Replace anti-Semitism with all Latinos crossing our borders are rapists, drug dealers, and murderers. 0.99
01:01:30.180 Does that sound familiar?
01:01:34.180 Unreal. Hitler was accepting of violence towards the achievement of political objectives. 0.81
01:01:40.420 Trump encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies. And his messaging about Charlottesville,
01:01:48.660 that there were bad people on both sides, sent a powerful message of approval to the far right
01:01:55.140 racist in America. Hitler led a political movement of anti-education, anti-science racists who focused
01:02:04.740 on nationalism with rhetoric about making Germany a strong country, which would result in prosperity
01:02:12.260 for the German people who were hurting due to the disruption caused by the Wall Street crash of 1929
01:02:20.100 and the effects of the Great Depression. Sound familiar? Uh, no. His aim was to unite the blonde-haired,
01:02:29.620 blue-eyed, Germanic, Aryan people against the Jews, the Italians, the Polish, anybody else?
01:02:39.060 Hitler did not start the Nazi party, but he took over the party with charisma and leadership.
01:02:45.540 The Nazis and Hitler became synonymous. Much like Hitler took over the Nazi party, 0.87
01:02:53.940 Trump has taken over the Republican party. It's now known as the Trump Republican party.
01:03:01.460 It's catchy. Yeah, it really is.
01:03:03.140 Trump's vow during the campaign stopped Muslims from coming into our country. That became a reality, 0.99
01:03:11.220 ladies and gentlemen. There's no Muslims here now. I mean, that's despicable. It's absolutely 1.00
01:03:16.340 despicable. And just inane, right? It's like the points are terrible, terrible points. Should we break
01:03:22.660 this down a little bit? Because I mean, I tried to write down what he was doing. Okay, first of all,
01:03:27.700 he said Hitler rose, uh, because of democratic elections, right? And so did Trump. So you're against
01:03:33.780 democratic elections? Like I, what, what is the point even there? Yes, they both were elected democratically,
01:03:39.380 uh, that both of those things are true. I don't understand. Again, are you not being critical of
01:03:46.340 it? I don't. It's a strange point because you assume everything he's saying about Hitler and
01:03:50.420 Trump, he says are bad, but yeah, they both came up in democratic elections. I don't know what that
01:03:54.660 has to do with anything. Um, nationalism. I mean, but they both have said they're nationalists,
01:03:59.700 but I mean, that does not for their countries for their country. Both of them are for their country.
01:04:03.380 However, the countries had much different messages behind the nationalism. Like, you know,
01:04:09.460 I'm, I'm no fan of nationalism. Um, however, the idea that if you take nationalism as, um,
01:04:15.380 as I think it's intended by most people, it's just patriotism. It's, it's, it's saying America's
01:04:20.500 the priority. Now as a philosophy, it's much deeper than that, but I don't think that's even the way
01:04:25.380 Trump means it, right? He's just talking about, um, he's talking about prioritizing the United
01:04:29.540 States policies, policy-wise, right? Like we prioritize us before we prioritize other countries. Um,
01:04:34.500 anti-Semitism, he says is the same as calling Mexicans racist and, and not letting immigrants
01:04:40.580 in. Now that is an interesting, it's an interesting stretch there saying you want, uh, all, you know,
01:04:47.780 you want to cure the Jewish problem is a lot different than saying we want, um, less illegal
01:04:56.100 immigration. And by the way, saying we want legal immigration. It's like if Hitler was like,
01:04:59.540 look, we don't want any more Jews crossing the border illegally, but we do want to encourage 0.95
01:05:04.580 them to come legally. Like I don't remember that speech in Nuremberg, right? Like that was not,
01:05:09.440 that was not the message. Um, then you have, uh, he's okay with violence. Hitler was okay with 0.84
01:05:14.080 violence and Trump encouraged it at the rallies. Oh, look, I don't like, you know, Trump did say at
01:05:19.680 one point, Hey, you know, I will, you know, you know, give him a, you know, we'll take him outside and
01:05:23.620 we'll beat him up or whatever it was. It's well, well covered in the 2016 campaign. It was not
01:05:28.140 something that I was a fan of. There's a different level. Again, he's doing a half with a smile.
01:05:33.200 I'm not going to excuse it cause I didn't like it from Trump, but he's not, he did not advocate
01:05:37.860 for the deaths of millions of people at his rallies. Nor was he responsible for ordering
01:05:43.060 the deaths of millions of people. No, I think there's a pretty wide gap on that one. Um, he also
01:05:49.280 says, I thought this was interesting. He says he wants to unite the blonde, uh, Aryan people versus 0.89
01:05:56.300 the Jews. Um, uh, and he says he was for an anti-education, anti-science racism platform.
01:06:03.420 I mean, that's just, I, those are just terms they throw around like anti-science. I mean,
01:06:08.540 that's what, that he doesn't like global. He doesn't agree with you on global warming,
01:06:11.680 I guess. And, you know, those are typical attacks, but he ends it with the guys who tell
01:06:15.580 us there's 97 genders and then tell us we're science deniers from the people who won't admit 0.99
01:06:21.640 that a fetus growing in a womb is a human being. Yeah. Uh, are you kidding me? It's,
01:06:28.100 it's, it's laughable. It is. It's laughable. Um, and then finally, um, you know, Hitler did 0.93
01:06:34.440 not start the Nazi party, um, but he took it over where Trump didn't start the Republican
01:06:39.380 party, but he took it over. It like, he seems to be advocating that like Trump made the Republican
01:06:43.960 party from a thing that was okay into this terrible thing that it is today, which is a strange
01:06:49.220 stretch. First of all, he never liked, seemed to like the Republican party before Trump either.
01:06:53.040 But secondly, are you saying that, is that what you think about the Nazis? Like they were an okay 1.00
01:06:57.040 party until Hitler got there? That's not true. Just so you're aware, they were bad. The reason 0.99
01:07:02.040 Hitler joined is because he liked all the anti-Jews stuff. It wasn't like, you know, this is a party
01:07:09.200 that's individual freedom, but I'm going to take it towards the, uh, you know, the anti-Semitism.
01:07:13.220 No, no, they were a fascist party. Yeah. Uh, that didn't like Jews at the beginning. It was one of the 0.97
01:07:18.220 things that, uh, when he's shown up at the, at the beer halls that he liked so much. Uh, uh, it was
01:07:24.000 not, uh, it was not the other way around per se. And again, where's the ADL on this stuff? It used to
01:07:30.800 be, and probably still is like when Glenn even says the word Hitler, uh, he's in trouble with the ADL
01:07:39.160 and they're, they're trying to launch boycotts against him. This guy can make a direct comparison
01:07:46.420 between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump. And they don't care. There's complete silence on the part
01:07:51.960 of the ADL. How's that possible? What hypocrisy? It's really, it's despicable. All of it.
01:07:59.140 It really is. Um, and there doesn't seem to be any pushback on it. I mean, let me give this story.
01:08:05.760 This is, um, uh, Ohio, an Ohio doctor at the Cleveland clinic. A first year resident was fired.
01:08:11.080 So, Laura Kalab, uh, they went back through her social media, found some interesting things, Pat.
01:08:16.740 Now, I don't know if this is okay. Um, but she, uh, she called for violence against Jews.
01:08:24.240 Hmm. She defended Hamas. She trivialized the Holocaust, compared Israel to Nazi Germany,
01:08:32.340 which is really offensive. Cause I mean, like the only reason Israel exists, like they, they gave, 1.00
01:08:37.660 they made Israel into their, it's rightful, their, gave them their rightful homeland. Why?
01:08:42.720 I mean, the mood of the nation was like, exterminated in Europe. So, yeah. Um, then, uh,
01:08:50.060 one tweet from 2012, the doctor, the doctor said that she would purposely give Jews the wrong
01:08:57.900 medications. She also referred to Jewish dogs and said, Allah will take the Jews. Now this is, um,
01:09:06.340 language you hear from people like Louis, Louis Farrakhan, um, which I've never heard word one
01:09:13.000 of criticism from Hank Johnson. Um, in fact, you know, if you want to go through, um, the, uh,
01:09:20.140 sort of extreme anti-Semitism that comes from some elements, uh, of the Muslim community, even here in
01:09:26.780 the United States, but certainly globally, I don't have never heard word one of criticism of that
01:09:31.840 from Hank Johnson. No, uh, you don't, you don't get that at all. Yeah. I've, I've not heard word one
01:09:38.100 of criticism from Hank Johnson about the women's March organizers who had many of these same opinions
01:09:43.860 and in fact, express them in the formational meeting of the organization. They actually talked
01:09:56.020 about their distaste for Jews as they were planning the women's March that I'm sure as anyone here, 0.72
01:10:04.460 uh, listening to this knows people who are their Facebook friends that went to that March.
01:10:10.340 It was founded with distaste of Jews in mind. That is amazing. Amazing. And I have not heard one 1.00
01:10:17.860 word of criticism from Hank Johnson on that. Wow. You know, the, they don't care. No credibility.
01:10:25.260 And as far as the other thing he mentioned about Trump, uh, by saying at Charlottesville,
01:10:30.340 there were bad people on both sides. They know as well as we do that Trump was referring to the
01:10:37.640 Antifa people who were there in Charlottesville as well. I, he, that's, those are the bad people to
01:10:43.720 whom he was referring when he was talking about, you know, there was a lot of bad characters on both
01:10:48.920 sides. He wasn't saying that the neo-Nazis were good people. Right. And he was saying too,
01:10:54.060 that, uh, there also were people who were protesting the, uh, statues coming down that
01:11:00.200 were not neo-Nazis. Right. They were just like, I don't want this to happen. You're erasing history.
01:11:05.140 That is a completely mainstream, legitimate point. Poll it. You'll find plenty of people who are going
01:11:10.340 to say, you know what, I, as much as I don't like the Confederacy, you shouldn't be taking statues
01:11:14.080 down because you're screwing with history. It's a very standard point. And the, you know,
01:11:18.700 Trump at times has difficulty, uh, uh, articulating certain concepts on the fly. Uh, you know, it does
01:11:28.720 occasionally happen. Um, no, wow. It's not as strong. That's out of the blue, Stu. It's out of
01:11:37.700 the blue. No. Yeah. Speech is in, in maybe English is not a strong point. I mean, he does, he, he has a
01:11:44.980 difficult time expressing, or he has a, I guess he has a proclivity for some hyperbole. He will
01:11:52.380 exaggerate a tad from time to time. And I think, you know, saying it's the boat, the both sides
01:11:56.520 thing was a mistake in that moment. Um, probably, you know, and, and even the point trying to make
01:12:02.440 the point probably wasn't a good idea, but he just didn't every, this is the problem. The media will
01:12:07.780 go out after Trump and say, Oh, look at him. He just made another stupid mistake. And he said
01:12:12.060 something wrong, right? They love that angle on Donald Trump. Hey, and he, and look, he does
01:12:16.740 Bush did it too, right? Bush screwed up and said things that were wrong a lot. He stumbled over
01:12:21.580 himself all the time. And they like exploiting that. But when he screws up in a way that makes
01:12:28.300 it easier for him to look like a racist or an anti-Semite, they just act as if that's exactly
01:12:32.580 what he meant. Oh, he's, he's a perfect craftsman of the English language. Yeah. And like, it's a double
01:12:38.300 standard again, like, and it's, it's, it's, it's just so dishonest and they use it to their
01:12:43.700 advantage. I mean, here's a guy, this is, um, he's talking about global warming. Now,
01:12:48.980 what is the conservative point on global warming? Look, we don't know all the facts on it. It looks
01:12:53.660 like it's warmed at some level over the past hundred years, but is this catastrophic? Is
01:12:58.020 this something that we can innovate past? Is it something, something that's happened before
01:13:01.520 something? Yeah. Maybe something that we can monitor and, and if it becomes more of a problem,
01:13:06.140 we can try to address it, but we can't address it at this cost, right? Like that's essentially
01:13:10.220 the conservative view, give or take. This is how Donald Trump, uh, said this. He said,
01:13:17.160 one of the problems that a lot of people like myself, we have very high levels of intelligence,
01:13:21.600 but we're not necessarily such believers. You look in our air and water and it's right now
01:13:26.580 at record clean. Now you like, if you were to talk to Donald Trump, probably like in the
01:13:34.120 back room of the white house and you're talking about global warming, he would probably be able 0.94
01:13:38.540 to explain it the same way we were just talking about it. He probably at least know some of
01:13:42.200 it. And, and he knows the general concept. It's not, it's going to kill jobs. We don't
01:13:46.260 know enough. Are you saying it's not at record clean? Is that what you're saying?
01:13:50.200 But to say you look at our air and water and it's right now at record clean is not, it's
01:13:56.140 just not the language that we all speak. Yeah. He just kind of says stuff and it's not
01:14:01.540 always right. But to act as if every time he makes a mistake like that, you're locking
01:14:06.920 him into whenever it benefits you, you act like he is, you know, Walt Whitman, you know,
01:14:13.180 it's like, it's right. And then whenever it is like just a silly mistake, well, then you
01:14:17.080 can just laugh at him and brush it off. You got to take it both ways. You know, he doesn't
01:14:21.320 speak. He doesn't speak precisely. That is not what his job is. I mean, even though he does
01:14:26.460 have the best words, he's got all the best words. It's true. So, but he doesn't use
01:14:30.300 them in precise order sometimes, you know, and what are you going to do? 888-727-BECK.
01:14:40.800 Pat and Stufer Glenn, the Olympic program, 888-727-BECK. We were talking about Jerry Brown
01:14:45.640 earlier and his comments comparing climate change deniers to Nazis. But when we were kind of
01:14:51.440 thinking, didn't he run for president? Didn't he have a flat tax? It's true. 1992. Jerry
01:14:56.360 Brown ran for president with a 13% flat tax as one of his major platforms. And it's
01:15:01.500 seriously unbelievable. With no room at the beginning of income off the tax. So everybody
01:15:05.900 paid it the whole way. How far has the Democrat Party come? Wow. That's incredible.
01:15:16.620 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Featuring Pat and Stu,
01:15:24.340 Glenn's back Monday. In the meantime, it is us. And you can join us tomorrow on Pat Gray Unleashed
01:15:32.220 for more on trivia, second hour of the show. So it's the last hour right before the Glenn Beck
01:15:38.260 program. And the featured matchup is the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Chicago Bears. And for some
01:15:45.440 reason, Stu has signed up for this particular week. No, I didn't even realize that was happening.
01:15:49.880 Yeah. I'm glad I'm glad I'm there to make sure to keep it fair. Because sometimes people, you know,
01:15:55.120 I'm sure you have no bias there, right? You just want it to play out as it always would.
01:15:59.760 Of course. Of course. I'm just, I would be concerned that others might try to take out
01:16:03.200 the defending Super Bowl champions. And I will make sure that this is absolutely fair above board.
01:16:08.680 Wow. Well, that's very open minded of you. Thank you. In Syracuse, the police obtained a search
01:16:16.920 warrant from a judge recently to compel doctors to perform an invasive rectal probe of a man they
01:16:25.840 thought was hiding drugs. Even after an x-ray showed there was nothing there to find. So what
01:16:34.180 happened was this guy's driving his truck home and police pull him over because of a burned out
01:16:41.680 tail light. And for some reason they decide, I think maybe they got a hit from a drug sniffing dog
01:16:48.300 that there might have been some kind of problem on the seat. So they searched the truck for two and a
01:16:53.840 half hours looking for drugs and they found none. So then they patted the guy down. Uh, they checked
01:17:03.060 his, you know, chest area. They, they checked both pant legs. They, they patted him down and then they
01:17:08.760 said, uh, now take off your pants. And he's like, take off my pants. No. Okay. Well, we're going to
01:17:16.500 have to take you in then. So he took off his pants and they still found no drugs. So then they drove him
01:17:22.620 to the hospital and took him to the, uh, emergency room where they told the doctors to give him this
01:17:31.580 rectal exam. And the doctor said, um, well, we'll do an x-ray. Uh, and they said, okay, go ahead and
01:17:38.280 do the x-ray and then we'll, we'll find the drugs that way. So they did the x-ray. The x-ray showed
01:17:42.320 nothing. Then they said, okay, we're going to need a rectal exam. You're going to have to go up and probe
01:17:46.760 him there. Uh, at this point, the doctor said, no, we're not doing that. And they said, we've got
01:17:54.280 a warrant. You've got to do it. And they said, no, we're not doing that. So the hospital lawyer got
01:17:58.480 involved and he said, yeah, you're doing it because the police have a warrant. So they gave the guy a
01:18:05.300 rectal exam. They probed his rectum and how rectum darn near killed him. Tons of drugs, right?
01:18:12.520 They found zero drugs then. Okay. So after all of that, I mean, hours and hours, the invasive
01:18:21.200 procedure at the hospital ordered, uh, by police, the guy has, you know, all of these procedures
01:18:29.760 done to him. They looked, uh, I guess they probed him three separate times and, and each time found
01:18:36.220 nothing. Then he was mailed a bill two weeks later for $4,000 for the procedure.
01:18:43.520 What the, what did this guy do? Kind of a bad day for this poor guy. He did something wrong. He did
01:18:49.620 something wrong to somebody. Well, he had a record and so they just suspected, well, this guy's, uh,
01:18:54.980 you know, he's a longtime criminal and we know he's got some drugs, but they just, he didn't. I
01:19:00.320 suspect it's more than that. Like they were, you know, they were watching a series on Netflix
01:19:04.740 together and he went ahead. You know, there was something like that because only that sort of
01:19:08.960 violation could get you. That is a violation that will get you that sort of a rectal probe.
01:19:14.160 It is. It is. These are crazy, fascinating stories. And you know, look, the left would
01:19:22.160 love you to believe that every police officer is doing this all the time. And they're not,
01:19:26.020 they're not, they're not, but there is every once in a while, one of these cases where
01:19:28.880 someone just seems to have something against a person and they just are going to keep going
01:19:35.160 until they get them convicted of something. Um, you know, I mean the record for drug,
01:19:39.860 drugs, sniffing dogs is questionable. There's not really a lot of evidence that it's a particular,
01:19:45.500 it's a nice indication maybe like it gives you a heads up. Okay. Well, maybe it's not an exact
01:19:50.200 science. No, not at all. Um, some, some court has recognized false positives among drug dogs,
01:19:56.660 um, can occur and, and can be low as low as 62% accurate. Another study says, um, from an Illinois
01:20:03.300 police precinct found a 56% erroneous alert rate. I mean, this is wow. 56%. That's more than half
01:20:10.440 the time. Cause I mean, again, if you're just flipping a coin, you're probably going to do
01:20:14.320 better than that. Uh, does this guy have drugs? Yes. No. I mean, I think there are, it's not that
01:20:18.880 they're not valuable. It just, if you go through an x-ray and there's no drugs, you shouldn't believe
01:20:22.980 the dog. And you shouldn't have to go any further than that. You shouldn't have to go to really
01:20:26.780 to an x-ray. How is he hiding it from an x-ray? I don't know. You can't, but this stuff kind of,
01:20:31.980 this, this stuff happens from time to, in 2016, uh, the federal government and an El Paso hospital
01:20:38.820 agreed to pay a New Mexico woman roughly $1.6 million for the six hours, six hours of invasive
01:20:45.900 cavity searches they did to her. Uh, when a drug sniffing dog alerted to her in 2014, uh, in Deming,
01:20:54.100 New Mexico, they had to pay David Eckert $1.6 million after he was suspected, uh, after they
01:21:00.960 did two x-rays, two digital probes of his backside, uh, three enemas. I mean, you got to stop at two
01:21:10.800 enemas. Two enemas is fine. Three is ridiculous. Three is over the line. It's just a tad. And a
01:21:15.900 colonoscopy. What? And they found no drugs. Somebody really was interested in this dude's colon. I mean,
01:21:22.140 that's what, there's something else there. Why didn't you just remove his small intestine while
01:21:26.000 you're at it? I mean, don't give them ideas. You're right. This is why we, uh, cheer for a
01:21:30.560 small government. That's the point. Like you should, you have, I mean, honestly, even if
01:21:35.640 you, let's say, and I'm sure in these situations, they were sure quote unquote in their heads that
01:21:39.960 this person had drugs. Should you, even if they do have them, should you be able to get
01:21:44.520 colonoscopies and enemas? And I don't think so. I don't think so. No, I don't think that that's
01:21:49.640 right. I mean, if you want to wait them out, here's what's going to happen, sir. You're
01:21:53.900 going to, you're going to hang out for a little while in this bathroom and we're going to
01:21:57.080 eventually get the answer to our questions. And we're going to go through it. I mean,
01:22:00.260 that's gross, but not, I mean, no less, no more gross. I mean, than, uh, than all the
01:22:07.740 other stuff they're doing to the guy. And again, that's really invasive. You know, if someone
01:22:12.020 did this to themselves, this is the natural process will play itself out and you'll have your
01:22:18.680 evidence at some point within the next 24 to 48 hours. You get stories like this occasionally.
01:22:23.140 And then when you couple it with the fact that when they pull you over, they can't confiscate
01:22:27.320 your car or take the cash. If you have it on you, it's that kind of stuff just shouldn't
01:22:33.720 be a part of the American justice system. You know, that's like, that's like Soviet activity. 0.88
01:22:39.960 That's, that's not America. No, um, the law should not be utilized. Um, you know, in this
01:22:48.340 way to maximize terror against an individual, right? I mean, no, you know, I'll give you
01:22:53.540 another example that I think is the, you know, the audience will certainly remember, uh, the
01:22:58.700 guy in, uh, at the masterpiece cake shop. Now what they're doing to him is technically
01:23:04.980 legal. They're harassing him. They're saying, is this the Colorado bake shop? Yeah. Where
01:23:10.720 they're doing it again on the trans cake that he wouldn't make. So first, if you remember, 0.99
01:23:14.820 of course they said, Hey, you got to make my gay wedding cake. He said, no, they took 0.95
01:23:18.040 him to the Supreme court. He won. Now they're like, well, someone else came in again. No,
01:23:22.220 no, no trans person on earth. That would be on the same day as the Supreme court ruling.
01:23:27.720 Right. They did this. No one would go in there. It's not, it's not some coincidence.
01:23:31.620 Wow. A trans person came in for a trans cake. What is, what is, that's amazing. What a
01:23:36.240 coincidence. They're harassing him. And who's ever heard even of a trans cake? No. Wait, 0.88
01:23:41.080 you're doing a celebration from going from man to woman and you need a cake for that? I
01:23:45.500 don't think I've heard. Maybe I'm just not familiar with the trans community and their
01:23:49.280 celebration. Maybe there are trans cakes. I don't know. There could be. The question 0.98
01:23:52.960 I guess is though, again, they're using, there is this commission. Uh, they're coming
01:23:57.460 after him with things that are in the law that are legally available to harass them
01:24:01.660 there and they're using legal harassment. It's, you know, and that is a forget the fact
01:24:08.000 if it's legal or not. Cause I mean, the Supreme court eventually said it wasn't right. And
01:24:10.940 they said, no, we weren't right, but they can get away with it because it hasn't that this
01:24:15.100 particular thing hasn't been tested there yet. I guess I don't know how they're getting
01:24:18.460 away with this. It's inhuman. Um, but just because you can do something legally doesn't
01:24:23.440 mean you should. We've said this all the time with boycotts, right? Like just because
01:24:26.380 you, you can, uh, try to harass a business owner out of existence doesn't mean you should.
01:24:31.880 Um, and you know, that's not the same thing I think happens with a police officer. If you
01:24:37.120 miss, let's say you miss a drug. Let's say the guy just was really good at hiding. Somehow
01:24:40.560 he came up with an x-ray free drug condom that he's stuffed up there and you can't pick
01:24:45.260 it up. Sometimes you just got to say, ah, darn it. He got away with it. Smart, smart play.
01:24:49.620 Exactly. You got me. You got me that time.
01:24:51.640 That's all right.
01:24:52.140 All right. You're welcome to your grandma Coke.
01:24:54.000 One more bag of drugs is out there and you're not going to have to deal with it. Like the idea
01:24:58.620 that you should go to these lengths is just crazy. 888-727-BECK. More of the Glenn Beck
01:25:04.360 program with Pat and Stu coming.
01:25:08.700 This is the Glenn Beck program.
01:25:10.940 Let's talk about something real here. You can put off a lot of things in life. You don't have
01:25:15.540 to join a gym. You can clean your gutters, but usually they will rot off your house. But
01:25:19.520 here's another thing you shouldn't put off and that is getting home security. It's your home.
01:25:23.160 It's your family. It's your stuff. You want to protect it, but there's always something
01:25:26.980 holding you back. And most likely it's the idea of paying an awful lot of money or paying
01:25:31.340 a middleman and being indebted forever. It also could be the fact that they want you to
01:25:35.400 schedule a six hour installation window. You don't have time for that. Simply Safe Home
01:25:39.500 Security has gotten rid of all of those reasons not to get home security. And I'm about to tell

01:26:21.320 Pat and Stu for Glenn. Glenn is back on Monday. You know, what was it a year or so ago, maybe
01:26:28.140 a year and a half ago, Stu and I actually made the bet that if the border wall is built, we'll
01:26:38.800 eat our underwear. Sadly, that's how sure we were that it just wasn't going to happen.
01:26:43.540 There was, you know, too many, there's too many speed bumps in the road. There's, there's too
01:26:48.020 much opposition from the Democrats. It's really hard because there's a lot of private landowners
01:26:55.180 on the border. And, and it's just been, it hasn't ever been done. Even though in 2006,
01:27:02.980 they passed a law that said the, uh, the wall shall be built where I think it was a fence
01:27:09.300 at the time. And even then when it was written into the wall that it shall be built, shall
01:27:13.260 be built. It wasn't built. And so we said we would eat our underwear if it was, it didn't
01:27:21.060 even have to be completely a hundred percent built. We would have taken 90%. Well, now it
01:27:26.160 looks like it's not going to be built at all. They're not even proposing 90% anymore. Um,
01:27:30.060 they're now like, well, what if we do 20% or 30%? Well, what if we do six miles? Well, I
01:27:35.060 don't know. That wouldn't cover it. Then people will go to the seventh mile. Right. Uh, yeah,
01:27:40.860 no, look, even, even if you come to the point where you believe that this is something that,
01:27:46.940 you know, politicians want to happen, it's difficult, but I mean, I don't think that's
01:27:50.640 really even where we are. This is not something, I mean, especially with the Republicans losing
01:27:53.920 control, there's no way it's going to happen. Right. Yeah. They didn't do it when they had
01:27:56.900 control and they're certainly not going to get it done now. And the Democrats have said
01:27:59.980 they're never going to, they're never going to fund it. Never. And they actually, they did
01:28:04.680 offer some money for it at one point in exchange for DACA, all the DACA people being allowed.
01:28:10.100 And again, is that, is that a trade that you're comfortable making? I'm not. No. I mean,
01:28:13.820 that's not a, that's not something I'm comfortable making. Um, as far as a compromise, people I think
01:28:18.920 are looking back at that point and saying people who think that the wall is really important,
01:28:23.840 which we both think, you know, again, absolutely fencing or whatever barrier is there. I never
01:28:28.660 needed a 30 foot concrete wall. Um, as the president has even pointed out recently, you can't see
01:28:33.900 through it, which is like kind of an issue that you kind of want to know what's going on on the
01:28:36.820 other side. Um, but whatever that barrier is in the places where it makes sense, I, I do think it is a
01:28:43.400 good idea. No, I, I was, I was calling at one point for a wall so high, you could see it from
01:28:49.180 space. In fact, not just space, but, but if you're standing on the surface of Mars, you'd be able to
01:28:54.940 see the U S Southern border wall. So we need to come up with like a Voyager to send someone to Mars
01:29:00.160 to make sure they can see it. Yes. Cause I don't want any zooming going on by some, you know, external
01:29:05.360 camera. I want eyes, someone on the surface of Mars with their eyes looking and they can see the wall.
01:29:10.340 Yes. And at this point I would settle for a picket fence, just anything, but they, they're not going
01:29:18.140 to get any of it done. Now they're even calling it immoral to even to build a wall. And so it's
01:29:23.160 interesting because, uh, president Trump kind of responded to that yesterday and I think had a
01:29:29.480 pretty good point. Look, look, when they say the wall's immoral, well then you better got to do
01:29:35.340 something about the Vatican. Cause the Vatican has the biggest wall of them all. Uh, the wall is
01:29:41.700 immoral. Look at all of the countries that have walls. Yeah. I mean, how do you argue with that?
01:29:49.140 If walls are immoral, why does anybody have a walled off piece of property? I mean, the white 1.00
01:29:54.440 house has been fenced off. It's not a wall, but it certainly has a, uh, a guarded monitored
01:30:01.540 armed guard, protected fence around it. Why is it less important to protect the country?
01:30:08.700 I don't think so. Well, how, how do we get to the point where a wall or a fence or any sort of
01:30:15.300 barrier just to keep our, our nation sovereign and to be able to protect our borders and our people?
01:30:23.360 When did that become such a bad thing? Yeah. I mean, and look, there's an argument among
01:30:28.780 conservatives over the border for a long time, you know, that there's certain things you should
01:30:32.520 prioritize and certain things you shouldn't. I mean, the wall as an effective tool has been
01:30:36.900 debated widely. I think even the president at this point is saying certain areas shouldn't have a
01:30:41.840 wall. Um, you know, so it's impractical, it's impractical, you know, there's of course other,
01:30:46.800 you know, private landowner concerns. There's all sorts of actual arguments about whether the wall
01:30:51.740 would be effective or not, but what's it so, uh, and where it would be effective. I think it'd be
01:30:55.920 effective in certain places for sure. But the, but the idea that if to be a Democrat today,
01:31:01.940 you have to be able to say a wall is immoral to get into this country. However, crossing the border
01:31:08.560 illegally is not immoral. Right. I mean, isn't crossing the border illegally the start of this
01:31:14.660 problem? If they weren't crossing the border illegally, there'd be no reason for an immoral wall
01:31:19.760 because there'd be no reason to put one up. They're not putting one up to stop us from going in there.
01:31:23.720 And it's, it doesn't make any sense. And you have to just, you have to be able to jump all
01:31:29.820 over the place with your logic to be able to justify your position. If you think a wall is
01:31:35.140 immoral. And it's, it's interesting because even the Democrats used to agree about that very basic
01:31:42.020 premise that we should have some sort of protection, like illegal immigration is not desirable. Well, now
01:31:47.920 to them, back in the nineties, they were all saying the same thing. Republicans are now we need to
01:31:52.700 protect our borders. Not anymore. It's completely different now. It's amazing. We should let
01:31:57.360 everybody in who wants to come in. Legal or not. We should go over that a little bit.

01:33:09.040 Pat and Stu for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program, 888-727-BECK. Just to show you,
01:33:26.820 just to prove what we're saying about Democrats. And it was not ancient history. It wasn't in the
01:33:34.840 40s where Democrats agreed that we should do something about illegal immigration. This is
01:33:39.660 Harry Reid from 1993. If making it easy to be an illegal alien isn't enough, how about offering a
01:33:47.220 reward for being an illegal immigrant? No sane country would do that, right? Guess again. If you 1.00
01:33:56.140 break our laws by entering this country without permission to give birth to a child, we reward that 1.00
01:34:02.580 child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee of full access to all public and social services
01:34:08.840 this society provides. And that's a lot of services. Is it any wonder that two-thirds of
01:34:15.240 the babies born at taxpayer expense at country-run hospitals in Los Angeles are born to illegal 0.77
01:34:23.020 alien mothers? I mean, what happened to that? What happened to, you know, trying to prevent 1.00
01:34:29.800 illegal immigration? Yeah. I mean, this is really a big position of theirs. Think about this. The bill
01:34:35.340 you mentioned a few minutes ago, which said the wall shall be built. That was the Secure Fence Act of
01:34:43.480 2006. It called for 700 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. When that came to a vote,
01:34:50.680 the majority of Senate Democrats voted for it. This is 2006. Wow. Not ancient history. The majority of
01:35:00.800 Senate Democrats voted in favor of it. The polling on the issue is insane. As of 2010, a border wall
01:35:08.860 was a 50-50 issue among Democrats. That is incredible. That is incredible. Currently, by the way, it's 89 to
01:35:16.080 8 among Democrats. Against. Against. So, and that, most of that drop has happened since Trump started
01:35:22.280 making it an issue. It's really just a Trump issue for Democrats. They liked the border wall until Trump
01:35:26.620 started talking about it, and now they hate it. But the other thing is, I think their mindset has
01:35:31.820 changed a little bit because they consider everyone who comes across the border illegally a potential
01:35:36.440 voter for them. And I think that they see a chance to get a voting block with Hispanics the way
01:35:46.060 they have with African Americans. I think that's their goal, and I think that's what they believe
01:35:51.240 they can achieve. I don't think they can, but I think that's why it's no longer an issue. Yeah, just let
01:35:57.400 them come on in because that'll help us stay in power in perpetuity. And I think that's what the party
01:36:03.140 thinks, right? Like, the party leadership wants a bunch of illegal immigrants here so then later on they can 1.00
01:36:07.460 make them citizens and get all their votes, right? Yeah, yeah. That's a long-term play for the Democratic Party.
01:36:13.260 That's not the long-term play of the Democratic voter, though, right? I mean, like, the Democratic voter,
01:36:18.000 the reason why it was, you know, 50-50 issue in 2010 about building a border wall, it was because they thought
01:36:23.880 that was the right opinion, right? They believed it was important for security back then. Now, it's all become
01:36:29.440 about Trump and their obsession of opposing anything he's for. And that's not healthy for Republicans to support
01:36:34.740 anything he's for, and it's not healthy for Democrats to oppose anything he's for. It doesn't make any sense.
01:36:38.080 It's not how you run a country. It's not how you run a civilization. It shouldn't be about
01:36:41.940 personalities. It should be about the principle.
01:36:43.880 We've seen a lot of these suspensions on Twitter, and, you know, some of them are controversial, some of them
01:37:02.040 are not, right? Like, if you're doing a threat against an individual, if you are promoting ISIS, right?
01:37:08.060 Like, some of these things we all agree should be pulled down from social media, including if you
01:37:13.380 are encouraging people to harm themselves or to commit suicide, right? I mean, that is a legitimate 1.00
01:37:20.240 thing, right? It's off limits. And this just happened, actually, to Jeremy Boring at the Daily Wire.
01:37:27.800 Now, he's been on the News and Why It Matters before. You may know him if you're a big fan of Ben Shapiro.
01:37:32.740 He's there all the time, one of his business partners, and he does a bunch of shows as well.
01:37:35.520 He went down a really dark road here and got suspended on Twitter for promoting or encouraging
01:37:43.020 suicide or self-harm. You may not promote or encourage a suicide or self-harm. When we receive
01:37:48.760 reports that a person is threatening suicide or self-harm, we may take a number of steps to assist
01:37:52.760 them, such as reaching out to that person, providing resources such as contact information to our mental
01:37:57.880 health partners. If you're having thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or depression, we encourage you
01:38:02.380 to please reach out to someone and request help. Our safety center has a list of resources you can
01:38:07.760 consult for a variety of reasons, including depression, loneliness, substance abuse, blah, blah,
01:38:11.780 blah, blah, blah, blah. So that's what Twitter sent to tell that, to tell Jeremy that he was suspended
01:38:16.160 and he was able to locate the offending tweet. And again, we should all come together and say it's
01:38:23.120 okay to suspend someone when they encourage self-harm. Oh, I think so. Suicide. Yeah, yeah. Right?
01:38:28.080 You gotta know that's unacceptable. Now, the tweet came in a debate about whether Brussels sprouts
01:38:33.660 were good, which is a typical location for a suicidal tweet. A real serious effort to encourage
01:38:45.700 self-harm. Uh-huh. This is a... Someone said Brussels sprouts were good if you cooked them right.
01:38:52.820 And Jeremy responded, even better, coat it with melted butter, salt, pepper, paprika,
01:38:58.280 and a dash of Worcestershire. Sear and cast iron bacon grease for 30 seconds until brown,
01:39:03.680 then throw them away and burn your face off with a hot pan. Oh, no, that's... He's encouraging
01:39:10.240 self-harm there. Because even that would be better than Brussels sprouts. That... They suspended him 1.00
01:39:16.820 because he encouraged people to, quote, burn their face off with a hot pan. Oh, my gosh. Is that
01:39:21.820 really where we are? Is it that bad? Yeah. That you can't know that's a joke and I shouldn't
01:39:27.260 probably burn my face off? Yeah. He has been reinstated to Twitter, but he... I've missed the
01:39:31.660 whole day of Twitter because of it. Now, that's probably a blessing in disguise for a lot of people,
01:39:36.460 including, I think, myself. But that is an amazing... Incredible. I go back and forth with this
01:39:41.640 because if you listen... And Glenn's back on Monday, by the way, here on the Glenn Beck Program.
01:39:45.300 But Glenn talks about artificial intelligence. And you go back and forth listening to him and
01:39:52.860 thinking, like, the entire world is going to collapse within the next five years. And then
01:39:57.640 you look at this and you're just like, Twitter's banning someone for self-harm because he wants...
01:40:03.920 He doesn't like Brussels sprouts too much. Like, how smart is the AI? How smart are these algorithms?
01:40:09.860 They can't seem to do the most basic things sometimes. Yet, I guess, you know, with artificial
01:40:15.780 intelligence, they'll start learning on top of each other and it'll get... It could get ugly. Who
01:40:20.300 knows? It's actually a pretty funny tweet too. Yeah, it is. Very funny. He's a funny guy. Yeah. So
01:40:25.440 that's that. We also are living in a world where there's new praise of a man who had an issue here.
01:40:34.460 He's a big environmentalist, David Buckle. He was a huge fan of the environment and wanted to protect
01:40:40.820 it. And you can't do too much to protect the environment. I think you know that, Pat. Oh,
01:40:46.680 absolutely. You can't go too far. No. He... This guy wrote, most humans on the planet now breathe air
01:40:53.320 made unhealthy by fossil fuels and many die early deaths as a result. And he was trying to explain
01:41:02.120 his particular approach to the environment, which was lighting himself on fire in Brooklyn's
01:41:08.540 Prospect Park to set an example in the fight against climate change. In a suicide note, he
01:41:14.720 wrote that part about how, you know, we now breathe air because of fossil fuels that is unhealthy.
01:41:21.400 And he wrote, my early death by fossil fuels reflects what we are doing to ourselves. Honorable
01:41:27.000 purpose in life invites honorable purpose in death. That's beautiful. And somehow, somehow
01:41:34.320 the New York Times included him in the lives they lived, their annual obituary, and it treated
01:41:42.420 Buckle as if he was kind of a hero. They said in Buddhism, which Buckle studied in his characteristic
01:41:51.240 deliberateness, self-immolation can be a kind of communication. To burn oneself by fire, the
01:41:57.280 activist wrote in a 1965 letter to Martin Luther King. It is to prove that one of us, what one
01:42:06.060 of us is saying is of the utmost importance. In his own letter, Buckle wrote about the Tibetan
01:42:11.020 monks who set themselves on fire to protest Chinese rule because no other action can most meaningfully
01:42:16.880 address the harm they seek. No, and when the Chinese government sees that somebody set themselves 0.88
01:42:22.000 on fire, of course, they're going to let Tibet go. Oh yeah, they changed it. They were like,
01:42:25.320 oh gosh, that guy set himself on fire. Oh wow, let's release our oppressive grip here on this
01:42:29.800 country. You can put on the back of the official vehicle, put that free Tibet sticker because that
01:42:34.580 guy burned himself to death. Unbelievable. The obituary then describes him as living a saint-like
01:42:39.960 life and his final moments could be interpreted as an incandescent act of speech. So I guess a big,
01:42:46.240 big hero there. You want to get praise in the New York Times, just burn yourself to death.
01:42:50.980 And I will say this, it is consistent. Burning yourself to death as an environmentalist,
01:42:56.340 and now you're going to have some emissions that go up from that, and that's an issue.
01:42:59.760 However, your lack of breathing is going to help this planet.
01:43:04.180 There's nothing worse for the planet than human beings, Pat. And finally, I guess, because I always
01:43:10.420 think it's one of the most selfish things in the world to be alive if you're an environmentalist.
01:43:13.820 How dare you remain alive? If you remain alive, you're hurting this planet.
01:43:20.240 And you have a good chance of eating meat, which we all know is the number one cause of
01:43:26.260 global warming on this planet. So at least this man, Buckle, who said David Buckle, he'll never
01:43:34.540 eat meat again. I think we know that. Not after setting himself on fire.
01:43:39.600 It's difficult to do it after that. It is, after death. It's been found scientifically to be very
01:43:43.520 difficult after death to eat meat. Most people lose their appetite after they've expired.
01:43:48.400 Good way to lose weight, though. Yes, it is. I will say that coming off the holidays,
01:43:51.780 great way to lose weight. If you're packing on the extra pounds, self-immolation is something
01:43:56.640 you should maybe consider. Oh, no. Now I've been banned. Oh, wow.
01:43:59.660 Now I've been banned from Twitter and the radio for thoughts of self-harm. I'm not encouraging
01:44:07.140 suicide here. That would be a terrible, a terrible thing. Thank you for clearing that up. You should
01:44:11.620 not do that. Because I think there were several people who were ready to self-immolate. They're
01:44:15.220 like, wow. Wow. Stu said I should, so I'm going to right now. I don't want to pitch for this,
01:44:20.760 and I know I shouldn't be encouraging this, but let me just give you this one word.
01:44:23.720 If 10,000 people were to light themselves on fire today, that would pay for, in environmental
01:44:31.320 terms, one Al Gore private jet flight. And isn't it worth it? Yes. Wouldn't you be able
01:44:36.040 to... It's a carbon offset, really, isn't it? Yeah. Because you're no longer breathing,
01:44:40.080 and Al Gore gets to fly wherever he wants. It's fantastic. And I really want him to be able
01:44:44.640 to do that. It's unbelievable. Now, speaking of meat and the lack thereof, PETA has jumped
01:44:52.440 into a really important fray. This kind of came up on, I think it was New Year's Day. Yeah,
01:44:59.780 it did. It came up on New Year's Day when Texas played Georgia and surprisingly beat Georgia,
01:45:06.120 which was amazing to me. I didn't... That was a surprise, yeah. Yeah, I didn't think they'd be
01:45:11.640 able to, but they did. They pulled it off 28-21. Well, before the game, Texas's mascot,
01:45:16.640 which is a big longhorn steer, got a little carried away and kind of jumped over some fencing
01:45:25.860 and almost pushed some people around a little bit, and then his handler got control of the
01:45:31.940 situation really quickly. Well, PETA saw that happen, and they have now demanded that there
01:45:40.120 be no more live animal mascots for any team anywhere. They've got to get rid of Bevo at
01:45:47.660 the University of Texas, which I think they've only used forever, a live bull. And the Georgia
01:45:54.220 Bulldogs have a live bulldog as their mascot. I think it's called Uga. And so PETA is demanding
01:46:01.600 that there be no more live animal mascots anywhere in college football, or anywhere for that matter.
01:46:09.280 They said that it's quite possible that Bevo was simply scared by noise, lights, and the chaos of
01:46:14.700 the stadium. And that doesn't change the fact, though, that any of the humans standing nearby could
01:46:22.860 have easily been trampled, or that the animals could have been hurt or killed. And they don't want
01:46:28.300 to see any of this going on anymore. No. But that was a scary situation just from the perspective of
01:46:33.640 it was, you know, there's a giant animal. An incredibly powerful animal. Yes. And at any
01:46:39.300 point could break through the dumb little barriers they have for it. I was surprised at the dumb
01:46:44.420 little barrier they had around Bevo. Because that's, I've heard this from, you know, from ranchers,
01:46:47.940 and it's obviously true. It's been something they've been done for a long time. But you don't need to put
01:46:51.360 like a 40-foot wall to stop these animals from leaving. They just kind of see something and they stop.
01:46:55.880 They don't try to get through it. Even though they could get through it, they don't try to get
01:46:59.420 through it. But he got pissed. He got pissed for some reason and went through it. I hope they don't
01:47:04.060 start realizing this. This would be a big, like, whatever, you know, whatever animal Twitter is
01:47:09.660 out there, if they're sharing this video right now, they're all going to realize, wait, we could just
01:47:13.440 walk through that thing? This would go out? They're going to be all over the place within a month.
01:47:20.360 Yeah, if that goes viral in the animal kingdom, we're toast.
01:47:23.720 I'm not for internet censorship normally. But we need to keep this off cow Twitter.
01:47:27.440 Keep it away from cows, especially. 888-727-BECK.
01:47:37.860 Pat and Stu for Glenn, who's back on Monday. You know, it's been a pretty ugly and wild ride for
01:47:43.300 stocks the last month or two. And I mean, it's been such wild swings. It'll go down
01:47:50.380 two or 3% one day and then up 6% the next. It's like one day last week, it was over a thousand
01:47:59.460 points up after dropping, I don't know, 4,000 points during the year or whatever it was.
01:48:05.100 And the scary part about that is if you go back to 2008, the same thing happened. There were a lot
01:48:08.880 of huge drops that everyone remembers, but there's also some of the biggest gains in the history of the
01:48:12.960 stock market that happened to that frame. It was, you know, it shows just volatility.
01:48:18.380 And because Apple has had, I guess, not quite the sales they expected for the iPhone, for the iPhone
01:48:24.440 10, their stock is down. The company has lost about 450 billion in market value since their peak
01:48:34.660 last year. 450 billion. In a year, in less than a year. They were worth 1.1 trillion last year.
01:48:43.440 So now they're only worth 700 billion, which is a lot of money. And, you know, people are still
01:48:48.940 doing well if you own Apple stock. But I mean, that's, it's been devalued a lot in a very short
01:48:55.620 amount of time. Really? Yeah. Jeez. Really fast too. I mean, that's, I mean, part of it, they're saying
01:49:01.320 part of it is the trade situation, which is affecting their business, which you can kind
01:49:04.680 of expect with someone like Apple. If this is going to go on, it's not going to be good for
01:49:07.960 them. The other part of it is, I mean, I just don't know if there is a situation where it's
01:49:16.660 worth it. Like, I mean, you know, the. To buy a thousand dollar phone? Yeah. Yeah. Because
01:49:20.460 remember, it was one of those things where the AT&T or Verizon used to be the ones subsidizing
01:49:26.700 it. So you're really paying $200 and then they're paying the rest. And they don't do that
01:49:30.220 now. They don't do that anymore. It's a different system. Yeah. So you've got to pay a thousand
01:49:32.960 bucks. It better be a pretty incredible innovation for me to pay a thousand dollars. I don't want
01:49:37.600 just, hey, the camera is a little bit clearer now. That's what it is every time now. Yeah.
01:49:42.620 It's well, or you can open it with your thumb. Yes. Well, and that was, I was like, you touch
01:49:48.640 it with your thumb and it opens. Okay. Well, I'm not sure that's worth a thousand dollars.
01:49:53.680 That one's worth every penny. And then the innovation from the thumb to the face recognition
01:49:58.440 is also worth every penny because it saves you like one 80th of a second. Yes. But
01:50:04.140 people are willing to do it for that. I honestly, it is. I can't imagine going back now. It is
01:50:09.040 that. It's one of those things that I made fun of it until I had it. Rather than pushing
01:50:12.220 four numbers. Yes. It's worth it for you. Yes. That's one of those. It's like, as soon
01:50:17.860 I was, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Let me try it. Oh my gosh. It's changed
01:50:22.260 my life. I will never go back. I can't believe we were so archaic. I know. Because I had to use
01:50:27.760 my thumb. I know. Well, and it's like, because I was, first of all, I was typing numbers and
01:50:32.160 I have fat fingers that I'd miss the buttons. So, so that was problem one. Then that solved
01:50:36.440 it with the fingerprint thing, which again, I'm giving up all my security to Apple. I've
01:50:40.860 given them my entire kingdom. I know. Go ahead. We all have. Yeah. It's so, it's embarrassing.
01:50:45.240 But so then you put the thumb on the scanner thing and that was good until like a couple times
01:50:49.420 you'd have to press it and you know, you'd have to potentially reset your thumb. Now you just
01:50:53.160 look at the thing and it opens. It's fantastic. So that one I will actually defend
01:50:57.220 as, as an innovation. So like what, what it usually winds up being to me is like, they've
01:51:02.600 created a way to make yourself into a dancing emoji. It's like, I'm not nine years old.
01:51:08.480 Like I don't, I don't need the ability to make a cartoon character that looks like myself
01:51:14.900 mouth my voice and anyone who's doing that more than one time to see it happen. Is there
01:51:19.980 anyone, unless you're a child, like even my kid got sick of it after doing it one time.
01:51:24.200 No, I'm holding out for the, uh, for the camera going from a trillion pixels to a trillion
01:51:30.760 and 50 tricks, pixels. That 50, that last 50 is huge to me. So I'm going to buy not just
01:51:37.500 the Apple 10, but the 10.1 a and maybe even the 10.1 B. Uh, and I'll definitely get the
01:51:45.420 10.1 to the third power. Okay. That one's great. When that one comes out, I'm getting it.
01:51:49.380 You know what I would pay a thousand dollars for like right now, if they could, if they
01:51:52.000 could put a feature in my phone would be, uh, something that guarantees when you turn
01:51:57.360 the camera on, it is not pointed at you. I would like that. Anything to not see my fat
01:52:03.240 face in that camera. You turn that thing on. Cause you're not, it's not a time where
01:52:06.580 you're looking and expecting to be seen in a camera. It's just how everyone sees you
01:52:09.760 every day. And you're in the middle and you're like, I'm going to take a picture. And
01:52:12.580 you look over and you're just making this face. You're like, good God, this is what these
01:52:15.300 people see. They see this every day. This monster. It's a bad reminder. It really
01:52:21.740 is. That is the worst shock of a lifetime. Oh, you turn on your iPad and you're playing
01:52:24.860 when you press camera by mistake and you just see a picture like looking up at yourself
01:52:27.780 from like a low angle. Oh, no, thank you. That you want to, you want to burn yourself
01:52:31.780 to death. That's what you want to do. Oh my gosh. Did you, did you just encourage
01:52:36.360 self-immolation with Brussels sprouts? Oh my gosh. You should burn yourself with Brussels
01:52:40.660 sprouts. Wow.
01:52:45.300 You're listening to Glenn Beck.
