One Small Step, One Special Salute | Guest: Bill O'Reilly | 7/19/19

I'm Hillary.

That's your Formative Buzz.

And now here's Glenn and Stu with the start of our show this Friday.

Thank you so much, Hillary.

That is a fantastic podcast.

We have to place more clips from it this morning if we can.

We have our salute to the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 coming up in just a second.

And let me tell you just a little bit about our sponsor.

It's a cruise through history.

We have some of the best storytellers

and the best historians coming with us.

Oh, you know who we should have invited was Arthur Herman.

Oh, he would have been great.

Anyway, we are going on this great cruise,

and we're taking you to

Israel.

We're going to Italy.

We're going to Greece to find the roots of the American experiment.

And the Mercury Museum is going to be

lending some artifacts that will be on the ship with you.

So you'll be able to see some really cool pieces.

David Barton, Rabbi Lappen, Bill O'Reilly will be there.

We're doing several shows, all different, and

we want you to come.

Come spend a vacation next spring with us on an amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cruise.

Today's the last day to get the $400 discount at come sailaway.com.

That's come sailaway.com.

More in just a second.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

I am too young, believe it or not, to remember the moon landing.

I was four when it happened,

but

I do remember the t-shirt that I had, the Apollo 11 t-shirt that I had, and I wore it proudly until I couldn't wear it anymore.

Space

changed us.

It ignited our imagination and we were one.

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Apollo landing on the moon.

Apollo 11 landing.

Man actually setting foot.

Something that just 10 years prior had been unthinkable.

We tell you the story in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

I want you to, just for a second, think, imagine sitting in the cockpit of Apollo 11, your eyes, your hopes simultaneously pointed towards the sky.

You are sitting at a 90-degree angle, knowing that in a few minutes, you're going to be blasting off either toward your own death or toward a level of greatness that few Americans have ever achieved.

Think of that.

You know you may die on the surface of the moon, but you're ready to go.

What you probably don't think about is, I'm going to be in this capsule, in this stinking chair, for days.

And imagine, if you will, how uncomfortable it was.

I have a bad back.

I don't, I, you know, the astronauts didn't.

They wouldn't have made it.

But I'm guessing with all the technology that they had, the best of the best at the time, they wish they had an X-Chair.

X-Chair right now, 30-day, no questions asked, guaranteed of complete satisfaction.

You don't have any risk.

Most companies can't make this offer because most companies don't have a product that no one ever sends back.

I want you to try it for yourself.

Once you feel the X-Chair's patented dynamic variable lumbar support or DVL, you'll understand why I and Stu love our X-Chair.

And they have a model that's right for you, the X-Basic or X1 through X4.

The X-Chair will fit your body and your budget.

and it's on sale now for $100.

It's xchairbeck.com.

That's Xchair B-E-C-K.com or call 1-844-4XChair.

XCHARB.com.

Use the promo code XWheels, and they're going to upgrade the wheels on your chair.

It is truly a remarkable chair that can take you anywhere.

All right.

Before we go to the news of the day and what it means for our future, let's look back on where we've been.

In 1638, poet John Milton met Galileo, who was elderly at the time, and on house arrest, just for the insistence that the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Milton was 30 at the time.

Years later, he would include Galileo in his epic poem, Paradise Lost.

He wrote, By night, the glass so Galileo observes imagined land and regions in the moon.

Galileo was the first human to study the moon through a telescope, and he used this new technology to view the lunar surface.

For thousands of years, that's all we could do.

We could spy on the moon.

It was an impossible distance away.

It was only 50 years ago on July 20th, 1969, that Buzz Aldrin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became the first humans to actually step foot on the lunar surface.

It's only been 116 years since the Wright brothers invented the first successful airplane, and less than a century after the birth of aviation, humans made it to the moon.

The Able has landed.

Not only did Armstrong and Aldrin land on the moon, but they also returned safely with the third pilot, Michael Collins.

They even went through customs at the Honolulu Honolulu Airport in Hawaii and jokingly filled out the entry form.

They declared moon rocks and moon dust, and they reported that they had returned with no additional passengers.

They were lucky to be alive.

All three of them, but especially Armstrong and Aldrin.

You see, after detaching from the command module while moving around the cramped cabin of the lunar module, one of the men accidentally dislodged a circuit breaker that controlled the engines.

Then, 30,000 feet above the moon in rapid descent, the module's onboard computer began to send a signal of an alarm.

The computer was overloaded for some reason.

Each space flight only had two Apollo guidance computers.

One was in the command module and the other in the lunar landing module.

So you understand, an iPhone today has 100,000 times the processing power of a computer that guided Apollo 11 to the moon.

That's enough memory to handle 120 million moon missions all at once from your phone.

NASA, Mission Control, they were about 17 seconds away from aborting the mission because of the computer issue, but luckily, thanks to the brilliant work of young coders and engineers, the crisis was averted.

The lunar module was dangerously low on fuel.

It had only 216 pounds, which Armstrong and Aldrin needed for the ascent.

If they had taken 26 seconds longer, Apollo 11 would not have landed.

Now imagine, as you're landing, you get a low gas sign on your dashboard.

Just as you're landing on the moon and knowing that if you run out of gas, there is no gas station.

and there's no way for anyone to rescue you.

Now, Apollo 11's forgotten third pilot, Michael Collins, was tasked with remaining in the command module as Aldrin and Armstrong descended onto the moon.

What happens if they don't make it back?

A million disasters could have happened.

Maybe they would crash, which they sort of did.

Maybe the clunky spacesuit would fail.

Maybe they would be affected by radiation.

Maybe they would get lost, bobbling through the moon's uneven gravity.

Maybe the lunar module wouldn't be able to launch.

I mean, if anything went wrong, they were stranded.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Collins later said he had nightmares about it, that there he was, alone in space, slowly unraveling, literally facing the dark side of the moon.

In an interview later with the New York Times, he said, I'm not going to commit suicide.

I was coming home by myself, and Aldrin and Armstrong knew that.

I mean, I didn't have to discuss it with them.

They didn't have to discuss it with me.

But it would not have been a good trip home.

The scientists at NASA had considered every single possibility, including these ominous outcomes.

In fact, President Nixon had asked his speechwriter, William Sapphire, to write a speech and a contingency plan in the event of a tragedy, the Lunar Disaster Plan speech.

30 years later, Sapphire said in an interview, if they couldn't do it, they'd have to be be abandoned on the moon and left to die there.

The men would either have to starve to death or they'd have to commit suicide.

The White House knew if that happened, Armstrong and Aldrin would be on their own.

NASA would have to cut off all communication and Nixon would have to call the men's widows.

Then he would solemnly read Sapphire's speech to the nation.

That speech is gut-wrenching.

I had never heard it before.

It said,

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery.

But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal, the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and their friends.

They will be mourned by their nation.

They will be mourned by the people of the world.

They will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one.

In their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

The speech concluded with a note of triumph, quote, In ancient days when men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations, they could not imagine that in modern times we'd do much the same, except our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow and surely find their way home.

Man's search will not be denied.

But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being that looks up to the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

Thankfully, we don't know the words of that speech.

History played out differently.

The lunar module didn't exactly land gracefully.

The cabin wasn't properly depressurized, so when the lander detached, it shot out at the orbiter with enough force that the men landed four miles from their target, but they made it.

The door opened and Neil Armstrong looked out at the landscape of gray mush.

They had no idea what they were about to feel as he leapt from the ladder onto the moon.

He spoke these immortal words.

One small step for man.

One giant leap for mankind.

President Nixon then made the first ever presidential call to the moon and told the astronauts that the whole world was proud of them and that because of what you have done, the heavens have become part of man's world.

Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours on the moon.

They ascended without any issues and returned from the command module, gritty from their time on the moon, much to the annoyance of Collins.

It's no coincidence that NASA's moon missions were named after Apollo.

A towering, complicated figure in ancient Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of music, poetry, and medicine, the patron of sailors, nurturer of the vulnerable, the god of light and sun and knowledge and truth.

Apollo represents the best that we as humans can achieve.

Our human spirit.

Because we're always dreaming of the next impossible discovery.

Before Apollo 11, humans had spent thousands of years desperate to find a way to launch themselves into space, or at the very least, they had intimately stared up at that gray rock above.

Because on a quiet night, if the sky is clear enough, we all feel a certain kinship with the moon.

And sometimes it looks so close.

For whatever reason, we wound up here, on Earth, mostly stuck on land.

Despite all of our certainty, we're still clueless about the universe surrounding us, including our own planet.

We've only explored about 5% of our ocean.

As for outer space, the more we learn about it, the more obvious it becomes that we're in way over our heads.

There are 10 times as many stars in space than there are grains of sand on the Earth.

The Sahara Desert is 3.5 million square miles of sand.

And that's just one of our deserts.

The Apollo 11 moon landing, truly one of our greatest achievements, not as a country, but as mankind.

It inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to Earth.

But there is plenty left over to discover.

We are only just beginning to understand our place in this universe.

We have an infinite amount of learning to do.

We've come to the conclusion that this this has been far more

than three men on a voyage into the moon.

I guess it's time we all learn that there is no final frontier.

We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown, the unknown, or the unknown, or the unknown.

I wish I could remember which astronaut it was.

I think it was on maybe 12 or Apollo 13 that was so calm, his nerves were such steel that he actually fell asleep on the launch pad.

Can you imagine that?

Can you imagine being strapped to a bomb and you're going to take off and you're going to the moon and you fall asleep, you're that calm?

I don't think the

boys of Apollo 11 slept well.

In fact, we know that Michael Collins didn't.

He said he had nightmares the whole time.

Imagine fearing, you know, any point of the mission something could go wrong.

You spend the rest of your short life in the cold void of space.

I think that would keep the best of us from sleeping.

But in our everyday life, there's lots of things that keep us from sleeping.

Keep us, millions of Americans have trouble sleeping at night.

I'm one of them.

One of the things that keeps you awake is the surface on which you rest your head.

I just met Mike Lindell, the inventor of My Pillow, who actually got me fitted for a pillow.

I didn't know that you could do this.

I hate, I get up and roll over every night, and I have to just keep fluffing my pillow.

I hate it when they're hot, and I hate it when they're just flat.

I didn't know that my pillow came in two different sizes.

And when I first tried my pillow, it was the wrong kind for me.

It was very, very flat because some people like them flat.

There's another version of my pillow, and I didn't like it the first night.

And Mike, he came into town.

He said, What do you think?

And I was like, it's, you know, and he said, you hate it.

I said, yeah, I do.

He said, you have the wrong one.

And I kind of internally kind of rolled my eyes, like, aha, sure.

I tried the right pillow that was, for me, unbelievable.

We could also bake.

Hey, there's a

Greek paradox.

I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it, but

it's the paradox of a ship.

If you leave the harbor and you have all of the replacement parts for your ship in the hole of the ship,

and you leave harbor, but as you're sailing, you replace each board with a new board.

Is it the same ship that you left with?

Is it the same ship if you replace it slowly?

Now you would say, yes, yeah, it's the same ship.

Okay, I replaced it part by part.

However, if it's in a museum, it's an old ship, and somebody wanted to steal that ancient ship, and they knew they couldn't just take it out all at once, they'd get caught, and they came up with an idea, why don't we just steal it one board at a time?

And we'll make replacement boards.

And we put the replacement in one piece at a time.

Who has the real ship?

When they're done, is it the same ship?

It's a paradox that they've been talking about since we were making up stories about the moon and moon gods.

But I want you to think: 50 years ago, we went to the moon, 50 years ago.

I don't remember the moon landing, but

I remember the excitement and

I remember my t-shirt that I wore.

But Stu remembers the Challenger explosion.

So his experience of the space program, it wasn't the excitement of Apollo that I experienced.

It was the tragedy of Challenger.

Now, the reason why I say this, and I want to point out our two experiences with the space program, is because

it was in 1826 that it was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and both Adams and Jefferson died July 4th, 1826, on the 50th anniversary.

That'd be like Neil Armstrong and

Buzz Aldrin dying today within an hour of each other.

That's how remarkable that was.

But the people that were our age, my age and Stu's age, one might not have remembered July 4th, 1776, but could remember the excitement of the time.

The other,

their experience would probably be the War of 1812.

They both remembered different Americas.

I remember the America before 9-11.

Stu remembers that, but my children don't.

And as we have gone along, we keep changing different boards in this ship we call America.

We keep replacing its parts.

Are we even the same ship?

It's a paradox.

I'm not sure we are.

Because we're not the same crew.

We're not.

We're not the same.

We don't have the same planks.

So what does it require to be able to claim, yeah, this is the same ship?

A renewal of our mission statement that all men are created equal endowed by their creator and governments are instituted among men to protect those rights

more in just a second

this is the glenbeck program

You know most break-ins happen between 6 a.m.

and 6 p.m.

middle of the day.

Homes without security are 300 times more likely to be broken into, and 65% of all burglaries are being done by someone the victim knows.

I always knew it would be Stew.

Given these statistics, what's crazy is that only one in five homes have home security.

Maybe because most companies really don't make it easy.

Long-term contracts, hardwired, outdated technology, expensive long-term contracts.

It's turned a lot of people off.

It's a used car salesman, you know, that's coming into your house going, Yeah, you know what, you really need, you need to upgrade to this.

Well, SimplySafe has been my choice for years.

They have completely disrupted the home security industry for good.

They have made it easy.

There's no contract, no hidden fees, no fine print.

The round o'clock monitoring is $15 a month, and they'll give you a free HD security camera when you order.

That's $100 value.

You know,

I saw a poll today where most Americans don't think the moon landing changed their life at all.

Really didn't.

It wasn't really worth it.

It didn't really affect, it didn't really affect us really at all.

Nah, it didn't.

You have no idea.

Let me give you just some of the things that came from the moon

launch.

Baby formula.

Baby formula.

They needed to figure out how to get nutrition into a liquid form, and that's the beginning of baby formulas.

Your computer mouse.

That was coming from the space program.

Believe it or not, comfortable running shoes.

You notice our shoes are very different than the Converse we had in the 60s.

That's because they had to make a molding

process for the helmets that the astronauts wore.

And they had to take this rubber and form it inside of the helmet.

And they realized, wow, that could work for shoes.

I didn't know about that one.

Yeah.

Cell phone and cell phone cameras.

The camera technology that we now have in your iPhone that was originally

designed for the space program, so you could have cameras.

The microwave oven.

We also have ice-resistant airplanes.

So when you have when you have icing, if we wouldn't be flying in the winter if it wasn't for the space program.

You also have scratch-resistant lenses.

Those were a product of the space program.

Safer highways.

As they were trying to figure out how do we land some of these things when we got to the space shuttle, how do we land this?

They were very concerned.

Remember,

landing the space shuttle is like a flying brick.

You're just falling.

It's a controlled crash.

There's not much you can do.

And so you're traveling at this high rate of speed, and they were afraid afraid that if there was anything on the tarmac, if there was any kind of dust, rain, anything,

that thing could slide right off of the tarmac.

So they invented the grooved

pavement.

If you've ever lived in Seattle,

you have

most of your traffic accidents that didn't happen, you have NASA to thank for it.

Water filtration, survival blankets, invisible braces originally developed for NASA for use in missile tracking, temper form, if you've ever had, or foam, if you've ever had a tempurpedic bed, that temper

foam

comes from NASA.

Can we back up just for just a second?

You said NASA is responsible for survival blankets, the thing they're wrapping those poor children that have been separated from their families on the border in.

So NASA's responsible

racist.

Unbelievable.

Racist.

Yeah.

So anyway.

GPS technology.

I can't get around without it.

No, nobody knows how to use a map.

I would never get around anywhere.

I couldn't get home this afternoon without it.

Think about without GPS, because I don't.

I use GPS on everything.

I used to be, remember how good I used to be on just navigating around?

You could drop me in any city and I could be like, it's that way.

Now I'm completely lost.

I have no idea where I'm at at any time.

In the DFW, I have no idea because I always use GPS.

And so you don't learn it.

It's just not good.

No, it's not.

That's probably not good.

Do you remember when I was talking to Ray Kurzweil?

And I said, he was talking about how you're going to interface with the internet, something that Elon Musk just introduced this week, but you're going to interface with the internet.

And he said, you can upgrade.

And I said, won't that make us weaker because we won't have to really learn anything won't that make us weaker and he said no no it'll make us stronger I wish I would have thought of the GPS example because I'm much weaker on directions now for sure another example I would give is spelling like I mean there was a time in which you know you would people

you had to learn how to spell now you kind of you type in the general word into google it pops up you're like oh that's how you spell it and you change it like you know you're typing an email and it just just auto-corrects the way you're spelling it.

But it also makes you a quitter because after about three times of trying to spell the word and it won't give you a suggestion, you change the word.

Oh, that's the ultimate failure.

That ultimate failure moment.

You can make it close enough for Google to try to figure out what you're trying to write.

It's bad.

That's like

I went on vacation last week and I have a scale at home.

And the scale is one of these like Wi-Fi scales that like, you know, you get on it and it tells, you know, it like records your weight over time, which is what you'll see, a freaking roller coaster right out of a bag.

Is it the one when Jeffy gets on, it says one at a time, please?

That one is that one.

Yeah.

But in all seriousness, I went on vacation and when I came back, it didn't recognize me as the same person.

Because it assumes when you step on it,

like you're it's just like, okay, well, this person weighs 100 pounds and now they're 102, so it must be that person.

It like categorized like my kid.

When Zach steps on it, he's like, what, 50 pounds?

And then he's 52, and it knows it's Zach.

I gained so much weight that it was like, who's this person?

Shut up.

Like, who the hell's this?

Really?

And then I swear, and I don't know about this part of it, but then I brought it home.

And on the day I flew back from the airport, I put my iPhone up to my face, and it would not do the face ID.

I'm like, did I get so fat my iPhone can't recognize me anymore?

I gotta tell you,

I have the face recognition thing.

It won't ever recognize my face.

I like hold it up, just camera is is covered.

I'm like, camera's not covered.

Doesn't recognize face.

I'm like, it's me.

It's me.

Oh, wait, that's your face covering the camera.

That's right.

It could be the same problem.

It could be.

It could be.

I mean, it's just, it's, it's just ridiculous.

You know, and I was thinking today about

how the mark of the beast, you know, I get up and take a shower and I'm thinking about the mark of the beast.

Obviously.

I was actually thinking about technology, which led me to the Elon Musk thing.

And would I take that?

Would I want my daughter to have that?

Because

she'll be a candidate for that.

Yeah.

And it will change her.

And then I thought,

look at the benefits of that.

And then that's where I started with Mark of the Beast.

I'm like, injected into your head.

No, that's not forehead.

So it probably wouldn't be that.

And then I started thinking about the people in Sweden that are putting it underneath their hand right now.

There's 4,000 people now that have put that little grain of rice thing that gives you access to everything.

You don't have to have have id you don't have to have money blah blah blah blah blah and i thought you know

i remember saying there's no way i'm gonna give the government my fingerprints never will i give the government my fingerprints i'm going this week to or next week to the uh department of homeland security or whatever it is to get global pass oh global entry yeah global entry where you have to give them all your whole handprints and you know all the fantastic i'm doing it for ⁇ yep,

I want the convenience.

Oh, it's going to save you a good 20 minutes in that line, and that's worth it.

Right.

Isn't that crazy?

I would have never given the government, but now for convenience, I will.

Next, no.

Remember when we used to talk about face recognition and how bad that is?

I just gave it to Apple.

Oh, yeah.

Who we know, I mean, all these guys are in bed with the government.

This is not good.

We know the walls are closing in and we're like, yeah, let me give you my face print too.

We're talking a good savings of a half second every time you get in.

So that adds up.

When it comes to the mark of the beast

and you're implanting a chip because there is no other way to have money,

everyone's going to do it.

There's going to be such a small number of people, which then brought me to, I have got to teach the book of Revelation to my children because they didn't grow up with it like I did.

I mean, I went to a Catholic school.

they were like, and the devil is coming maybe tonight.

And you're like, whoa, I'm four.

Why do I have to learn this now?

Now we really need to teach our children about those signs because it could happen.

How long was this shower?

I remember like I was a month.

That was actually about three minutes.

No, I used to think the same thing because I remember hearing that story as a kid, the whole Mark of the Beast thing, and thinking to myself, like,

wouldn't they just not do that then?

We all know this is a possibility, right?

And bad things are associated with it.

So maybe, like, right before, when they're like, oh, we're going to inject you, everyone would just say, well, no, remember the whole Bible thing?

Like, we already talked about this.

We're losing that.

Oh, first of all, we're losing it.

And second of all, it is,

we just don't think, like, it's, it overwhelms us in slow spurts, right?

Because we assumed that the mark of the beast was going to be presented like, all right, you have to sign up for this, or I'm going to kill you dead.

We didn't see the convenience factor coming.

Did anybody see that the president was vomiting pea soup and his head was spinning around?

I don't think we should take this.

It's not going to be.

It's that, hey, this technology is great.

In fact, it could save your children if they're ever kidnapped.

Yeah.

It comes with GPS in it, and we'll be able to track down your kids and save them.

Save them.

Try this out for size.

Think of the convenience and how

right now, we know that China is closing the doors on their society.

Google is part of it.

Google is part of it.

We also know all this surveillance technology is being built here in America, just not by the state.

And yet, we know that Facebook is silencing us.

We know that Facebook is bad for us.

We know that Google is really a dangerous company.

It is

just keeping deeper and deeper.

Do you remember the ⁇ did you watch the you?

I think you did watch Continuum, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Which it starts out in 2077 in the future, and then they come back to 2012 through time travel.

But the point of the future is that corporations have taken over and they are the government.

And I used to think, I used to think so ridiculous.

Come on.

Corporations are going to be the government.

Wow.

Are we headed in that direction or what?

Science fiction writers.

I've been reading a lot of science fiction lately, a lot.

And I've even gone back to,

right now I'm just reading Frankenstein and going back and just seeing what, you know, why did Mary Shelley write Frankenstein?

It was what was going on in her life.

She was really a tortured soul.

She had lost her daughter, I think.

Really horrible things had happened, but she had attended a science

show, if you will,

that showed reanimation.

And it just showed electricity and how they took a dead frog, attached electrodes to it, then

generated some electricity, hit those electrodes, and the frog moved.

Okay.

And so it was her science.

It didn't snap back to life.

Yeah.

Just moved.

And nobody had ever seen that before.

And so the idea back then was science

might might be able to regenerate life.

Okay,

didn't have that, don't have that ability.

But science, the same thing happened with we can create the perfect human back in the 40s and 30s with the Nazis.

It didn't work.

We now have the technology to do some of these things.

So man has been going down this road for a very, very long time.

And

science is just catching up to man's most terrific and horrific dreams.

And it's here.

It's really here this time.

And I don't think we're thinking about it because we're so distracted by, oh, I got so many likes on Facebook.

Yeah.

And we've just become used to all this stuff.

I remember when I was in Houston and the toll tag thing was a big deal to

Texans.

I go, I'm all getting that because they'll know wherever wherever I am.

They'll see that on the toll.

They'll know where I am, they'll know my name, and they'll know all my information.

Now we give up our information so quickly and so easily, we don't even think about it anymore.

You know, and nobody is talking in Congress about protecting our information.

One of the biggest things that could be done right now and should be done is that you are in charge.

You are the only owner of any information that is on you.

So, in other words, any Facebook or anybody else collecting things, you have access to it and you can say

dump it it's mine that's me that's part of me should be it's the way it should be but we're not demanding it we're allowing people to do profiles on us our spouses don't know us as well as Facebook knows us

we most likely don't know ourselves as well as Facebook knows us and certainly Google how much information do they have

And you have no access to it.

That's me.

That's mine.

That's part of me.

We've given it up for free.

The government needs to say you have no right to that information.

Pat, anything in particular on the podcast you want to direct people to today?

Just Pat Gray Unleashed

in general, because it's all, you know, it's all just fantastic.

It's all fantastic.

It's all just brilliant, genius.

All right, all right.

Thank you very much.

Bill O'Reilly is coming up here in just a second.

Stand by

Bill O'Reilly.

In 15 minutes.

All right, Car Shield.

I don't think Bill's going to be talking about the Mark of the Beast or, you know, any of these.

He doesn't take long enough showers to do that.

No, he doesn't.

No.

He doesn't.

Okay, anyway, Car Shield.

Car Shield has saved me thousands of dollars.

Thousands of dollars.

Unfortunately, they don't cover things like hail damage.

I'm not used to living in a place that has like baseball size hail.

But anyway, they have saved me on all the covered repairs that I've had.

I have a couple of older trucks that I have at the farm, and I tell you, I drive them until the doors fall off.

I would have sold them a long time ago had it not been for Car Shield.

I pay my monthly Car Shield

payment, and that has paid off a thousand fold.

Probably 10,000 fold at this point.

800 Car 6,000.

Bill O'Reilly is next.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Boy, there is a ton to talk to Bill O'Reilly about.

He's got a new op-ed out that I think is spot on and needs to be heard by everybody.

It's bad parenting, not capitalism, that is the main cause of income inequality in America.

How true that is.

Also, the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11.

I believe Walter Cronkite looked to Bill as a much older,

really much, much older brother.

And

what'd you say?

Sort of a mentor?

Yeah, sort of a mentor, sort of almost like a grandfather.

And so he'll remember the moon landing.

And I'd love to hear his take on that and where we should be going now.

Also, the president.

The president has had all kinds of issues this week with the press.

I can't wait to hear him speak about Elon, Omar, AOC, and the Trump controversies of the week.

In one minute, this is the Glimbeck program.

Let me tell you about Takovis.

Takovis is, there is something about a boot.

There is something about the spirit of a cowboy boot, a Western boot.

There is something about the style that never goes out.

And I'm telling you, you wear a baseball hat or a cowboy boot.

And the world knows you as an American.

A cowboy boot is something that just never goes out of style in America.

When you are a kid, you played Cowboys and Indians.

You wore those crappy cowboy boots because you knew what that meant.

You were a cowboy.

You were out looking, you know, look west, young man.

You were an adventurer.

And then I think some of us, that just kind of goes away and we realize life really isn't like that.

But I want life to be like that.

That's one of the reasons, probably the biggest reason I wear cowboy boots.

The other is because I live in a place on the farm and the ranch where there are snakes and I don't want to get bitten by a rattlesnake.

But the spirit that a boot captures is what a Takovas boot is all about.

And it is the best handmade boot you can buy for the money.

It is twice the boot of money, of

cowboy boots of a similar price.

Twice the boot.

It is half the price of other boots that are of the same quality.

It's truly remarkable.

Handmade, 200 steps to make it.

They're out of the box comfortable.

Great boots, feel great, great price.

Find your Tacovis now.

Find your

spirit of the West.

Find that spirit that you had as a kid once again.

Just slip on a pair of Tacovis boots.

T-O-C.

Let me start again.

T-E-C-O-V-A-S Tacovis boots.

Get them in.

Tacovis.com slash Beck.

T-E-C-O-V-A-S.com slash Beck.

All right.

It's the anniversary, the 50th anniversary tomorrow of the moon landing of Apollo 11.

Most people say now that it really didn't affect their lives.

That's because they just don't know what the space program, all of the, I mean, microwave ovens.

I mean, how are you going to go into a 7-Eleven and get one of those crappy burritos in the microwave oven without the space program?

Bill O'Reilly is here to talk about it with us, and as well as all the other things that happened this weekend.

There's a lot revolving around the president.

But

let's start with the moon landing.

Bill, how are you?

Good.

Can you, just before we get to that, can you spell that boot again?

No, I can't.

No, I can't.

I really can't.

Thank you.

Can you hold up big cards for that?

Yes, please, somebody.

Thank you.

All right.

So, Bill, you were, what, 68 when we landed on the moon?

I was there.

You were there.

Yeah,

I was there.

Nobody knew.

I stowed away on the Apollo spacecraft.

What is your memory of the day that we landed on the moon?

I don't really have too too much of a memory of that.

Seriously?

No,

you know, you've got to understand my persona.

I have trouble putting gas in my car at the self-service.

Yeah.

You know, when I have to put the card in and then the nozzle in and then this button.

So technology just frightens me.

I do remember watching it and feeling proud of my country.

That was number one.

And number two, I just have no idea how they pull this stuff off.

But wait, wait, you were like 15, right?

Yeah, somewhere in there.

It was

in the teenage years, which for me were pretty grim, I must say.

I led the league in dopey teenage frolicking.

But

obviously, this was a big event.

Walter Croncott, I remember I watched his coverage.

Yeah, everybody did.

like, I liked the mustache on Walter.

It didn't have anything to do with his reportage or anything like that.

But anyway, you're right.

People don't really understand, number one, how complicated this is.

And all you have to do is look at the astronauts who were killed when the spacecrafts exploded and all that.

I mean, very, very dangerous.

And number two, that the technology that is developed along the way

has changed everybody's life.

So we wouldn't have the drones and the satellites and live shots from here, there, and everywhere.

And none of that would be happening unless we had the space situation.

Well, they say, people say, oh, you, of course, look at Elon Musk.

What they don't understand is where we were at the time.

We might have, you know, we might be on the moon today,

maybe, maybe.

But at the time,

it took the entire country to rally around it.

And quite honestly, many of the things that we have now were from the inspiration of the moon program and the dedication of the

educators at the time to emphasize the science in young kids to try to get them to say, I want to be an astronaut.

Well, to be an astronaut.

Everybody wanted to be an astronaut.

Right.

You know, everybody's running around.

But the real motivator to go to the moon was to defeat the Soviet Soviet Union.

Correct.

That's why Kennedy and Johnson and all these guys, they basically put gazillions of dollars into this NASA development because we feared that the Soviet Union would get space weapons and then they'd be up there and the moon would be communist and all of that.

So the political component really led to the scientific achievement, which, of course, most people don't understand.

Well, why are we doing this?

Why don't we just take that money and rebuild Detroit?

You know, that kind of thing.

But I think the overarch for 50 years later

is basically your country did this.

And

your country

is the dominant force in the world then and now.

You know, it's weird, Bill, is.

You say that, you know, your country did this.

And I think many Americans felt that way.

They were very proud of the moon landing and still are.

I am very proud of what our country did.

However, the rest of the world, it was one of those weird events where the rest of the world, yes, they knew that it was America that did it, but they interpreted it at the time as this wasn't just an American accomplishment.

This was an accomplishment of mankind because they still viewed America as a place of dreams where anyone could come and accomplish incredible things.

So they saw it, yes, as American, but it was

at a higher level.

And I think that what still

is felt by most people is that was not American, that was humankind.

Yeah, I mean, Aldrin really was clever in the way he marketed that one small step for man and giant step for mankind.

Okay, so

I have no problem with that at all.

I'm not, you know, a jingoist or a nationalist or a chauvinist about America.

And I want the world to be proud that human beings were able to accomplish.

That's a good thing.

But I also want the world to recognize the nobility of America.

And they don't.

It doesn't.

It did at the time.

It doesn't.

Maybe, but

you still had a tremendous Cold War situation, and you had threats all over the place and expansion of communism.

And so you did have that back then.

But, you know, today

the world watches news coverage from America, and the dominant theme is America is terrible.

Yeah.

Well, even the moon landing, the social justice warriors are saying this was just a white male event.

And we're not supposed to celebrate it because it's a white male event.

Well, I haven't heard that.

Oh, yeah.

No, I don't doubt that it's happening.

Yeah, I'll give you the stories.

But, you know, it just folds into

the

and this is so fascinating to me because this could never happen without the media's consent and approval.

It could never happen.

The four women, the radical women in Congress, nobody would even know who they are if not for the media embracing them.

And so, you know, we're going to have individual cranks and loons forever.

We've always had them.

But the difference today is the cranks and the loons, if they disparage the United States, are given a unique platform

by the New York Times and the Washington Post and the

NBC News and it's a nut.

And that never happened before other than Vietnam.

Now, Vietnam was very, very similar

because

the crazier you got, the more famous you got, i.e.

Abby Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, the Chicago Seven, the Black Panthers.

The nuttier you were, the more anti-American you were in the late 60s, early 70s, the more famous you got.

This is a replay of that that we're seeing now.

All right, I want to talk to you a little bit more about that.

What happened this week, the controversy with Donald Trump and the Elon Omar and AOC and the quote squad when we come back in one minute.

Standby.

Also,

we are doing an Elon Omar special

next Wednesday, an hour on her roots,

something that we have been following very, very closely for the last year.

And we've been watching the excellent, I think, reporting that's been coming from David Steinberg.

And

we are hopefully going to have him on, but

we want to do an hour-long special next Wednesday only on Blaze TV.

You won't want to miss it.

It's a very complex case, but I think with a chalkboard and possibly some finger puppets,

I can make it understandable and show you why

what is being said about Elon O'Marr must be looked into.

All right.

Bill O'Reilly is going to be joining us on the cruise through history.

In fact, can you bring Bill back up?

Bill?

Here I am.

I have my life preserver already.

There we go.

I know, I know.

Have you heard the news

that Jim Caviesel may be coming with us?

Man, and then we'll reenact the passion.

Rocky the passion, we'll reenact right.

I mean, can we we gotta get him drunk or something because he'd never do this on his own.

But do you imagine the pranks we could play in Israel with Jesus?

That's right.

And the only reason he's coming is I'm going.

You know that, right?

Yeah, no, I don't know that.

No, I don't know that.

Anyway, so we've got just a great thing.

You can hang out with us

on these amazing sites in Athens and Venice and the Holy Land.

Bill and I are going to be doing a show together in Israel

when we get to Israel.

And also, we have shows throughout the trip on board as well.

Come with us.

Come with us.

This is the last day that you can get the special early bird price, which is $400 cheaper.

Today's the last day.

Buy this for your parents.

And you know what?

Buy it for the parents and your grandkids, and let them take the grandkids along with them.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime cruise.

I've never heard anybody offer anything like this before.

It's all-inclusive, including the airfare.

You don't have to even bring a wallet.

Come say, well, you have to bring your passport.

Come sailaway.com.

That's come saileaway.com.

Find out about it.

Today is the last day for the Early Bird special.

That's come sailaway.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

All right, Bill,

let's talk a little bit about what happened this week with

the squad, AOC

and Elon Omar, and

the pack of four here.

The president came out and he said, and I think this is what he meant.

And I think he echoed the sentiments of a lot of Americans.

Look, if you don't like it here, if you hate America so much, go someplace else.

There are 169 other choices.

Go someplace else.

And I think that that's a frustration that a lot of people are feeling because we're constantly being run in the mud.

Then

he later said, you know,

send them back or send them home or something like that.

Send them back where they came from.

That turned into a race thing.

First of all, do you think that was a racist comment?

Okay, let's break this down and advance the story for Glenn Beck listeners.

First of all, this is a strategy on the part of Donald Trump and his campaign to get reelected.

So he's not really running against a Democrat.

You know, he will diminish and demean whoever is nominated, but that's not what he's going to run against.

He's running against a system.

And he's defining the system as radical left.

So the Democratic Party is radical left.

That's what he's running against.

That's the strategy.

And what better way to illustrate that right out of the box than to take the four radical congresswomen, and I never refer to them, by the way, as the squad.

Why?

Because this is a promotional opportunity for the women that the media has given them a nickname.

So I don't use it.

I don't think they're a squad.

I don't think they're in the military.

I don't think any of that.

They're individuals who have decided to run for office, been successful in doing so, who are radical left and feel America is not a noble nation.

That's who they are.

Okay, send them back.

I don't care about sending them anywhere.

I don't either.

Now.

So Donald Trump, he doesn't care about sending them anywhere either.

It's not like he says, well, let's send them back to Somalia.

That's not what he does.

So it's really too bad that the United States of Trump, my upcoming book, isn't out now, because then everybody would know how the president thinks about these things.

They don't know that now.

But I'll throw out one question.

If there were four radical congresswomen who were white saying and doing the same things as the women of color, do you not think Donald Trump would diminish them and demean them and attack them verbally?

Of course he would.

Of course he would.

And you know what?

Nancy Pelosi was doing that just a few days before.

Yeah, but it's a different thing with Pelosi.

But Trump, it doesn't matter.

Does everybody forget lock her up, crooked Hillary?

What color was Hillary?

So if Donald Trump would do that to anybody of any color, how can you say it's racist?

So, Bill, have you ever seen, you remember when I was on Fox and I said the infamous statement, I think the president is racist.

And then I immediately said, no, that's not quite right.

He just seems to have a deep-seated hatred for the white culture.

And I'm a commentator.

I'm trying to figure it out.

That was a boneheaded thing to say, but I was just thinking aloud, there's something not right.

He doesn't understand the American culture.

And I got all kinds of heat for it.

How dare you say that?

Blah, blah, blah.

The press has not just said, I don't know.

I'm trying to figure it out.

He seems to have a problem.

Instead, this time, all reporters have been saying he is a racist, and this is a racist statement.

And the reason they're doing that is because they're nervous.

They, being the press, the hate Trump press, 90% of the national media falls into that category.

All right, they are very concerned that he will be reelected because there is absolute chaos within the Democratic Party.

And if the next segment, if you'll allow me, I'll tell you what's going to happen in the next debate.

So anyway, the press is very, very nervous.

So what they do is they fall back on the easiest smear

that you can play.

You're a racist.

And again, if you had my book in your hand,

which I'm ready for,

and you'll get it in a couple of weeks, back, you're getting an advanced copy,

you will see that there is a pattern of behavior on Donald Trump when it comes to race.

It's fascinating how he views race.

And it's not at all what's been reported.

It's not that he's benign toward African Americans or people of color.

He's not.

He doesn't care.

He doesn't care.

He is not a guy who isolates groups and says, well, this group should get this and this group should get that.

He doesn't do that.

Barack Obama did that,

but Donald Trump doesn't do that.

So this whole thing basically is working to Trump's advantage.

He won this.

I agree.

Whole numbers are up.

His rally in North Carolina, he went out and he just whacked them again.

And if you watch the post-coverage on CNN and MSNBC, the body language of those commentators was, you know, I don't think we're going to win this.

We've said he's a racist 830,000 times, and it's not sinking in.

All right.

So Trump's going to run against the radical system

which has dominated the Democratic Party in the recent months.

That's what he's doing.

All right.

Let me ask you quickly here before the break about

the killing of impeachment, the impeachment effort.

What does that say to you?

It says Nancy Pelosi told her members that we are not going to go down the impeachment road.

And if you continue to go down that road, you're not getting any money from our funding for reelection.

And that's why it got whacked.

All right.

Bill O'Reilly, we will give him the time to say what's going to happen in the next debate.

I'm anxious to hear that.

And so many of the other things that happened this week.

His commentary continues in just a moment.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Man, we have access to so much data right now, so much data that we never had before.

If I could tell you that you were going to get type 2 diabetes,

And you were going to get it, but if you just do these things, would you want that information?

This is the kind of information you get from 23andMe, 23andMe.com/slash Beck.

It's not just about

your heritage.

I mean,

to me, that's the cool part.

But you learn so much about your health, what you're predisposed to possibly having, and the things that you can do to make sure that you stack the cards in your favor.

Because if you're predisposed to something, the cards are all stacked in its favor.

You got to reverse that.

And with just this simple test, a lot of that can be done.

Hey, this weekend's podcast, about 90 minutes, that is just a thrill ride.

I mean,

it is the fastest roller coaster ride you've ever been on with Gavin McGinnis.

I sit down at a round table with Gavin McGinnis.

You do not want to miss this.

You know,

you'll see the truth.

You know, he's supposed to hate me.

I'm supposed to hate him, et cetera, et cetera, and all that garbage that was going around.

Judge for yourself.

And don't miss this episode of Gavin McGinnis.

He is a plain-spoken guy and very funny.

I mean, hold your sides laughter, very funny.

And at the same time,

I don't think you should say that.

Don't miss it.

The podcast this weekend, get it wherever you find podcasts.

We're back with Mr.

Bill O'Reilly,

who is about to tell us what he thinks is going to happen in the next debate with the Democrats.

Okay.

So what I've done on billorilly.com, your second favorite website to your own,

is to basically try to stay ahead.

of the political story rather than do what cable news does, which to me I find incredibly boring,

is just to a contrived reaction

to contrived events.

So here's what I think is going to happen in the Democratic debate 10 days from now.

You've got Biden holding a fairly significant lead in the polls.

If you go to real clear politics, you've got numbers there.

So the challengers, the legitimate challengers, there are only three of them.

There is Bernie Sanders, who's on the fade and he's never in a million years going to get the nomination, but he's still in play.

Elizabeth Warren is coming up a little bit and believes

that she can get the nomination.

And then you've got Camilla Harris who is quietly assembling a pretty powerful team.

However, you've got to knock Biden out of the box.

So they crippled him.

Maybe not crippled.

They hurt him last time around on the busing thing with Camilla Harris.

Now, Harris gets another shot at him because Harris is going to be on stage with him again at the CNN thing.

So it's going to be basically Bernie against Elizabeth in one night and Harris against Biden in the other night.

Here's how Harris is going to go against Biden.

You ready?

Under

President Obama for eight years, there were three

million illegal aliens deported in this country.

Three million.

million.

By contrast, 2.5 years of Trump, 758,000.

Biden has already been asked about it and says, I have no problem with the 3 million being deported.

As everybody knows, open borders is a signature of the current Democratic Party.

Harris has got to go into that precinct and say, how dare you, how dare you applaud the deportation of three million poor migrants, most of whom were fleeing injustice.

How can you possibly do that?

That's where Harris is going to go.

What's her record?

What's her record in California?

She was a professor.

She really doesn't have much of a record as Attorney General there.

See, because California has never,

ever,

since Ronald Reagan left the governorship, ever pursued a a hard line against illegal immigration, which is why the state now

is dominated by foreign nationals.

They've never done it.

So Harris can basically say, I didn't persecute anybody.

I could have,

but as the DA in San Francisco, I didn't do that, and I didn't do that as Attorney General in California.

You're the mean guy, Joe Biden.

You're the anti-immigrant guy.

Okay.

Now,

that possibly will not happen if the deal is made.

Do you know what the deal is, Beck?

Yes, I do.

All right.

So let me just restate it.

The deal is that the Biden people will say to the Harris people,

ease up.

If our guy gets the nomination,

Kamala is going to be VP.

And he's only going to stay for four years,

all right, and then she takes over.

She gets the shot at the presidency.

Harris will take that deal because Harris probably can't beat Biden one-on-one in the primary system because people don't really know her.

She's radical and her performance at the Kavanaugh hearing was a disgrace to our justice system.

So she probably can't beat him.

Plus, Harris has a lot of stuff in her background

that the press won't report, but it will come out.

And she doesn't want that.

She doesn't want to be scared in that way.

Well, let me just ask you this, because I saw the egos inside campaigns

in the last campaign.

And I saw how people that could have made deals didn't make deals because they all just thought, I'm going to win.

No, I'm going to win.

And I'm more important than that person.

And that person doesn't know.

I mean,

they have to be

arrogant enough to run for president.

And I mean that

not in a pejorative sort of way.

They have to believe in themselves enough that they are the one to be able to go and do that.

And they don't seem to listen to deal making at least this early in the game.

Yes, there's validity what you say, but the polls are the polls.

And, you know, Harris, I don't believe,

and I could be wrong, obviously.

I mean, there may be a way for her to get some traction, but

I'm not so sure.

And this is a safe bet for her.

This saves her an awful lot of angst.

Yes, it does.

To make this deal.

And Biden will make this deal in a heartbeat if he feels that this is going to, you know, stop the attacks on him, which he can't defend.

How's he going to defend the deportation of 3 million migrants to a party that wants open borders?

How's he going to do it?

It's impossible.

And so you don't think

that you don't think Warren and Sanders alone,

with just Harris backing away, not defending, but you don't think Warren and Sanders alone could put enough dents into Biden?

Americans aren't going to elect or nominate socialists.

They're not.

Right.

Okay, that's so they're not going to be able to do that.

No, I'm not saying that they're going to

win, but you don't think that they can put enough bats.

No.

Look, Sanders is an old white man, and that's his problem right now.

Okay, so he's white.

If he was a person of color, it'd be a different story.

All right.

Warren is an elderly white woman.

That's her problem.

And the party, the Democratic Party, is basically marketing itself to younger Americans and minority Americans.

So it's Camilla Harris.

she's not young, but she's not old.

So Harris checks off all the boxes,

but can't beat Biden in most of the states.

Do you think she could beat Trump?

Camilla Harris against Trump?

Yes.

Only if Trump makes a myriad of mistakes and the economy goes south on them fast.

I think Harris could probably get on the initial bump about 45% of the electorate to even take a look at her.

That's not bad.

That's not bad.

Harris has far more appeal than Sanders or Warren because they're so extreme.

Harris plays this kind of game.

She is an extremist, if you really listen to what it is.

But she doesn't come across that way.

All right.

But so Harris is the threat.

Now you go, Buddha Judge.

Buddha Judge is very articulate.

He's going to hang around.

Because why not?

What else does he have to do?

All right.

Well, really?

What else does he have to do?

Yeah, I know.

I mean, CNN wants him, and he'll go there.

You'll see him.

He'll get a show.

He's not going to be a

commentator.

See, AT ⁇ T is going to wipe out everybody at CNN soon because that's such a disaster.

And Buddha Judge is going to be on there.

You wait and see.

So, wait, wait, wait.

Let me go back to this because I find this fascinating.

You say that CNN, they're going to fire everybody there.

Yeah.

The AT ⁇ T is going to wipe out the whole squad.

Now, I'll use the word squad for them.

Right, okay.

So, when you say that,

does that mean a total rebrand of CNN?

I mean, how do they resuscitate this?

They have to.

But they don't do it by putting Buddha Judge in there.

Well, no, you do, because Buddha Judge is very charming and articulate.

He's not a crazy guy.

He may be a crazy.

So you're going to fire everybody and then replace them with a whole bunch of other people that are still far left?

That are more reasonable.

See, they won't fire Anderson Cooper.

You can.

He's protected.

Okay?

But you've got to get rid of, and Lemon you can't get rid of either.

So you've got to move them around.

But you've got to inject some youth and some sensibility.

And Buddha Judge, whether you like him or not, is a very articulate, charming guy.

He is.

So he's going to be the centerpiece of what ATT tries to do with CNN.

They're not going to say we're not liberal anymore.

They're going to say we're going to get back to our roots of reporting.

That's what they're going to say.

Oh, yeah, ha ha.

But Buddha Judge is going to be front and center.

So it's worth his while to stay in and run around because A, right now he didn't have anything to do.

And B, he knows he's got the CNN thing in his pocket.

All right.

Bill O'Reilly,

send me your galley as soon as you can.

I'm going on an 18-hour plane ride here in two weeks, and I can read it on that.

Where are you going, Doc?

I'm actually going to reunite a mother who thought her daughter was dead.

Everyone in the family was killed.

The Nazarene Fund, our charity of Mercury One, rescued the mother, moved her to Australia.

Three years after

we found her daughter alive, she was a sex slave for five years.

We just called the mother and said, your daughter is alive, and I get to go go bring her.

What am I doing?

What's the tremendous story?

Where was the daughter held captive?

I don't want to give you the details only because I don't know.

I think she was in Syria, but I don't know for sure.

Well, Very, congratulations to you.

And I will send you the galley, but you got to keep it to yourself.

I will.

I will.

All right, okay.

Okay, it's great.

You got it.

You got it.

You got it.

I got it.

All right, Bill.

Thank you so much.

God bless you.

Ex-Chair, Stu and I,

we had a revelation this week, a breakthrough with Stu.

The chair is so comfortable, and this is absolutely true.

It is so comfortable in its factory settings.

I have been tinkering with mine and trying to get mine adjusted exactly right.

Stu, I made a really simple adjustment to my chair the other day, and Stu looked at me like, wait, what did you just do?

and it's the most important adjustment you can make it is the most

it's the lumbar yeah uh and uh he had never adjusted it no i well i just it was comfortable so i just sat in it that's i think what you'd normally do with a chair then i started showing him the other adjustments and it's now more comfortable it's like crazy yeah it's crazy it is just the best chair you've ever had it when you sit back in it you lean back it is as comfortable as a lazy boy it really is When you are sitting up, now that you've moved the lumbar, remember I used to say, I've said over and over again, it makes you sit up.

Yeah, it makes you sit straight.

Now, with the lumbar, it's even better, isn't it?

It is better.

And it's possible that maybe I should occasionally listen to you more.

Well, give it a whirl.

You never know.

Now, if you do that and you use promo code Glenn, you save some money.

Also, you get this Ilan Omar special that looks like it's coming out on Wednesday.

Yeah.

And that is going to be interesting.

An hour-long special kind of looking at her background and really, like,

I mean, her background is one thing.

The things that she has seemingly lied about and potentially broken big time laws about felonies when it comes to related to her immigration, more specifically to her taxes and whether she perjured herself.

Also,

yeah, just I won't get into it now because it's very complex.

It is.

But

there are definitely several perjury charges and tax charges that are felonies.

We're going to go back and show you how she got here to America, which

was not legal

the way it happened, but

I don't even want to go there.

Because when you understand the story, you'll kind of understand and say, okay, I'm not going to hold a kid responsible for this.

And it was such a bad situation that let's just forget about that.

Let's just call that.

Yeah, I'm only concerned about the stuff when she's an adult, and

there's a lot.

And there's a lot there.

There's a lot there.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting.

And one of the things we talked about, because we've discussed some of these things on radio,

but we over this week have talked about the idea that it really needs to be visually explained because the names, there's too many names that you don't know.

There's too many strange actions.

You really need to visualize it.

And so that's.

What she has going for her is this is a very complex story.

Yeah.

It's our best defense.

That's what we usually excel at is breaking down very complex stories.

And so join us.

Chalkboard, maybe Puppets will be involved.

The fusion

of entertainment and enlightenment.

It was 50 years ago that man actually stepped on the surface of the moon.

50 years ago.

But it was just a few years before that that no one thought man could go to the moon and John F.

Kennedy stepped up and said we're not only going to go to the moon and return a man

but we are also going to do it by the end of the decade.

Everything that was going on in the 1960s, there was a choice.

You could reach for the stars or roll in the mud at Woodstock.

We talk a lot about just the rolling in the mud.

Can we just take a few minutes and talk about reaching for the stars and what that meant to America?

We'll do that in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You know, one of the main reasons to embrace NASA and what they did back in the 60s and 70s is that they not only inspired people just by watching them, but they really forwarded the progress of mankind.

They pushed us forward.

A lot of the things that were developed for the moon launch and for the space program have affected our lives.

But also, it changed us in a way

it gave people of my age and older

pride and something to strive for.

It was a different world.

It was a monumental task of putting astronauts in space and eventually one on the moon.

And it forced the smartest people on the planet to invent and innovate.

And we are a direct benefit of a lot of that.

But today, that developmental inertia, the drive to make better products, better people, a better life, it's still part of America.

It still is.

There are people that want to do that every day.

And that is

really one of the driving forces behind the guys that have innovated the X-Chair, A great, great chair with dynamic variable lumbar support or DVL.

It's going to be bringing relief to your back in a very powerful way.

It does mine.

I love this chair.

No questions asked, guaranteed complete satisfaction.

You don't have any risk.

And most companies can't make that because, I mean,

you can't send this chair out and then have people send it back.

You'll go bankrupt.

Nobody sends their chair back because it's a fantastic chair.

Try it for yourself.

All right.

Let's take you back longer, farther back, much further back, than 50 years ago.

In 1638, poet John Milton met Galileo, who was elderly at the time and on house arrest, just for the insistence that the Earth revolves around the sun.

Milton was 30 at the time.

Years later, he would include Galileo in his epic poem, Paradise Lost.

He wrote, By night, the glass so Galileo observes imagined land and regions in the moon.

Galileo was the first human to study the moon through a telescope, and he used this new technology to view the lunar surface.

For thousands of years, that's all we could do.

We could spy on the moon.

It was an impossible distance away.

It was only 50 years ago on July 20th, 1969, that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong became the first humans to actually step foot on the lunar surface.

It's only been 116 years since the Wright brothers invented the first successful airplane, and less than a century after the birth of aviation, humans made it to the moon.

Not only did Armstrong and Aldrin land on the moon, but they also returned safely with the third pilot, Michael Collins.

They even went through customs at the Honolulu Airport in Hawaii and jokingly filled out the entry form.

They declared moon rocks and moon dust, and they reported that they had returned with no additional passengers.

They were lucky to be alive.

All three of them, but especially Armstrong and Aldrin.

You see, after detaching from the command module while moving around the cramped cabin of the lunar module, one of the men accidentally dislodged a circuit breaker that controlled the engines.

Then, 30,000 feet above the moon in rapid descent, the module's onboard computer began to send a signal of an alarm.

The computer was overloaded for some reason.

Each spaceflight only had two Apollo guidance computers.

One was in the command module and the other in the lunar landing module.

So you understand, an iPhone today has 100,000 times the processing power of a computer that guided Apollo 11 to the moon.

That's enough memory to handle 120 million moon missions all at once from your phone.

NASA, Mission Control, they were about 17 seconds away from aborting the mission because of the computer issue, but luckily, thanks to the brilliant work of young coders and engineers, the crisis was averted.

The lunar module was dangerously low on fuel.

It had only 216 pounds, which Armstrong Armstrong and Aldrin needed for the ascent.

If they had taken 26 seconds longer, Apollo 11 would not have landed.

Now imagine as you're landing, you get a low gas sign on your dashboard, just as you're landing on the moon and knowing that if you run out of gas, there is no gas station and there's no way for anyone to rescue you.

Now Apollo 11's forgotten third pilot, Michael Collins, was tasked with remaining in the command module as Aldrin and Armstrong descended onto the moon.

What happens if they don't make it back?

A million disasters could have happened.

Maybe they would crash, which they sort of did.

Maybe the clunky spacesuit would fail.

Maybe they would be affected by radiation.

Maybe they would get lost, bobbling through the moon's uneven gravity.

Maybe the lunar module wouldn't be able to launch.

I mean, if anything went wrong, they were stranded.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Collins later said he had nightmares about it, that there he was, alone in space, slowly unraveling, literally facing the dark side of the moon.

In an interview later with the New York Times, he said, I'm not going to commit suicide.

I was coming home by myself, and Aldrin and Armstrong knew that.

I mean, I didn't have to discuss it with them.

They didn't have to discuss it with me.

But it would not have been a good trip home.

The scientists at NASA had considered every single possibility, including these ominous outcomes.

In fact, President Nixon had asked his speechwriter, William Sapphire, to write a speech and a contingency plan in the event of a tragedy, the Lunar Disaster Plan speech.

30 years later, Sapphire said in an interview, if they couldn't do it, they'd have to be abandoned on the moon and left to die there.

The men would either have to starve to death or they'd have to commit suicide.

The White House knew if that happened, Armstrong and Aldrin would be on their own.

NASA would have to cut off all communication, and Nixon would have to call the men's widows.

Then he would solemnly read Sapphire's speech to the nation.

That speech is gut-wrenching.

I had never heard it before.

It said,

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.

These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery, but they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal, the search for truth and understanding.

They will be mourned by their families and their friends.

They will be mourned by their nation.

They will be mourned by the people of the world.

They will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one.

In their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.

The speech concluded with a note of triumph, quote, In ancient days when men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations, they could not imagine that in modern times we'd do much the same, except our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

Others will follow and surely find their way home.

Man's search will not be denied.

But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

For every human being that looks up to the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

Thankfully, we don't know the words of that speech.

History played out differently.

The lunar module didn't exactly land gracefully.

The cabin wasn't properly depressurized, so when the lander detached, it shot out of the orbiter with enough force that the man landed four miles from their target, but they made it.

The door opened and Neil Armstrong looked out at the landscape of gray mush.

They had no idea what they were about to feel as he leapt from the ladder onto the moon.

He spoke these immortal words.

One small step for man.

One giant leap for mankind.

President Nixon then made the first ever presidential call to the moon and told the the astronauts that the whole world was proud of them and that because of what you have done, the heavens have become part of man's world.

Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours on the moon.

They ascended without any issues and returned from the command module, gritty from their time on the moon, much to the annoyance of Collins.

It's no coincidence that NASA's moon missions were named after Apollo.

A towering, complicated figure in ancient Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of music, poetry, and medicine, the patron of sailors, nurturer of the vulnerable, the god of light and sun and knowledge and truth.

Apollo represents the best that we as humans can achieve.

Our human spirit.

Because we're always dreaming of the next impossible discovery.

Before Apollo 11, humans had spent thousands of years desperate to find a way to launch themselves into space, or at the very least, they had intimately stared up at that gray rock above.

Because on a quiet night, if the sky is clear enough, we all feel a certain kinship with the moon.

And sometimes it looks so close.

For whatever reason, we wound up here.

on Earth, mostly stuck on land.

Despite all of our certainty, we're still clueless about the universe surrounding us, including our own planet.

We've only explored about 5% of our ocean.

As for outer space, the more we learn about it, the more obvious it becomes that we're in way over our heads.

There are 10 times as many stars in space than there are grains of sand on the Earth.

The Sahara Desert is 3.5 million square miles of sand.

And that's just one of our deserts.

The Apollo 11 moon landing, truly one of our greatest achievements, not as a country, but as mankind.

It inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to Earth.

But there is plenty left over to discover.

We are only just beginning to understand our place in this universe.

We have an infinite amount of learning to do.

We've come to the conclusion that this has been far more

than three men on a voyage into the moon.

I guess it's time we all learn that there is no final frontier.

We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown.

I want to thank Takovas for making this portion of the program possible.

It's made me think a lot about my childhood, this 50th anniversary.

It's kind of taken me by surprise.

Somewhere in America, within the sound of my voice, right now, there is a man who, as a kid, knew the basics of how to fly a spaceship before he even learned how to drive a car.

He was way too young to learn how to drive a car.

Even if his spaceship was made out of cardboard boxes and his helmet was cardboard and tinfoil, he knew how to fly.

And he

made himself a solemn vow as a child.

Only a child could muster this kind of vow that one day he would stand on that giant rock in the sky.

There was this boundless curiosity that was barely contained in his frame, and it drew him towards lofty concepts.

The dream has grown stronger since he got older.

Choosing to do things not because they were easy, because because they were hard.

That began to make more sense to him, and he applied himself and tried to succeed at everything that he set his hands on.

That was long ago now, perhaps.

And some things worked out better than he had planned.

Some things worked out not exactly the way he planned.

He made headway in the world, maybe achieved a dream or two, but

mostly he fell on the same rocky surface of life that most of us do as gravity pulls us us back down to Earth.

There was no NASA.

There was no Corvette Club for him.

But there was a life lived in the service of

in some ways slowly killing off that little boy, but replacing him with a man.

And yet,

somewhere in America within the sound of my voice, there

is that man with a little bit of life left in that boy.

And sometimes on a cool evening when the sun goes down and the cicadas sing their ceaseless oratorio,

he might go out and stare at the sky,

look at that moon,

have some of the same old feelings of being young and filled with dreams.

I remember what it was like when I was a kid and I wore red and white painted cowboy boots.

It made you feel like you were the sheriff, made you feel like you were in gunshot, in gun smoke with your cap gun.

Cheap and clunky boots, and

just a

cheap painted gun.

But somewhere in America, there are men like me that want to revive that young soul buried inside.

And a little bit of that comes alive when I put on my Takovis boots.

It takes 200 steps to manufacture a pair of Takovis boots.

They're built to be comfortable right out of the box.

They're handmade, high-quality, full-grain leathers by world-class bootmakers.

Takovis boots, you can get them in lizard, alligator,

ostrich, the most exotic leathers.

They sell them directly now to customers.

That way, they ensure their product is either half the price of a similar boot or twice the price or twice the quality of a boot price the same.

Check out their site, tacovis.com/slash back.

Anything, anything leather you need, you'll find there.

High-quality belts, bags, wallets, even great jeans, not made out of leather.

No, it's strange to order things online right now, almost space age.

But they have free shipping, free return, so ordering is risk-free.

Find your pair.

Revive that little boy inside of you.

Some of the people I know that are military veterans, they are some of the most incredible people that I know.

I want to tell you a story about Tony and Melissa.

They live in Virginia.

I talked to their neighbors.

They're fans of the show.

They were surprised when we called.

They were thrilled that it was us that was reaching out.

He's a Marine Corps officer.

He's a major stationed in D.C.

He's now working for a member of Congress before spending two years at the Pentagon.

He's married, has two little girls.

They were moving to Fairfax,

and

they moved in, and the neighbors came across the street, and they were the first to welcome them in.

They're just great, great people.

Well,

they were getting to move, getting ready to move, and

the government trucks that we ship all of our soldiers' stuff in, because it's not like you just call U-Haul.

You're working for the government, so you get what you get.

Well, some of these trucks, they're so badly damaged because the government is screwing around with changing over systems that this particular truck hadn't had repairs done to it, etc., etc., and

all of everything they owned, everything

they owned,

burned down.

The family didn't find out about it for four days, and now they've got nothing.

A guy who has served his country, we can't go to the moon, but we can change their life.

And I want to talk to you about that when we come back.

Let's rock this person's world.

Let's change this family's trajectory.

I want to tell you the story of Tony and Melissa.

They have five kids.

The end of June on the 29th, they had a moving truck holding the household goods of this family, this Army family, and it caught fire due to a mechanical issue.

Well, they were moving with the armed forces,

and they were moving to Texas from Virginia.

And

their insurance now only covers a third of the value of their goods, which included everything that, you know, all the memorabilia from his military service for 30 years,

pieces of furniture that they had collected in Germany, all over the world as they served.

All of those memories, all of the pictures, everything they had, including everything the kids had.

All the bears and stuffed animals from their beds, all the footballs and baseballs and everything.

They lost between $150,000 and $200,000 of

their life that's not being reimbursed.

And they were just going on and somehow or another, this really humble, optimistic family is just, we're going to be fine.

The family only found out about the fire because the fire department posted a picture on Twitter and a friend saw it and knew that that truck was the truck that they had posted on their website with the family standing behind it saying, we're off to Texas.

And the friend said, ah, I think the truck that just burned down was the truck you had all your stuff in.

That's how they found out four days after the fire.

Well, the neighbor has decided to start a GoFundMe page, and I'd love to rock this family's world.

They have a goal of $100,000.

They have $19,000 raised so far.

This is a really, everything we've heard about this family, a really good, humble family.

And they're on their way to Texas.

Texans, may I suggest that we do what Texans do best, and we welcome this family with open arms, and we help them in their plight and share some of the wealth that we might have.

Five kids.

Nothing,

nothing from this family is left.

Imagine everything you have erased.

Wow, you want to talk about starting over?

Well, let's help them.

You can go to the gofundme.com.

If you search for Army Family Moving Fire, you'll be able to find it, Army Family Moving Fire, or you can go to my Facebook page.

I think it'll be up at Glenbeck.com.

We're going to tweet it out.

Is it up on Instagram?

And it's up on your Twitter right now.

Yep.

Okay.

So you'll be able to find it, but please, let's rock this family's world.

Go to gofundme.com, search Army Family Moving Fire.

Do that now.

And

let's help put some salve on the wounds of this family.

It's an amazing piece of perspective there, too.

Glenn, if you read the account, I mean, you just went through everything that happened to this family.

He served our country for all this time and all these amazing things they've done.

And then they had this tragic loss of, you know, they're out like a couple hundred thousand dollars potentially here if people don't step up.

And at the bottom of the write-up, they have, here's a story on the fire.

And so you click on it to get a news story.

The news story is just about how people are pissed off.

They were sitting in traffic behind the fire, the trailer that burned.

And it's like that, you realize how many times have you done that?

I mean, every person is guilty of this.

You're like, what is going on?

And then you realize.

And you don't think of it as, I mean, there's lots of stuff that if I had in a moving truck that would be destroyed, that would be of great value, that I would be really sad.

But

it's not the same

as

my son's baby blanket that my sister made for him, that he still has.

I mean, he's not using it, but he still has it.

You know, it's the things, the stuffed animal, you know, the baby polar bear that I got for my daughter when I was in Alaska and brought it home and we, you know, did butterfly kisses and

polar bear hugs.

That's a memory.

It's gone.

You lose those things and they're gone.

And those are the things that I think really mean stuff.

But anyway, this ties in, by the way, to another story that I don't think people really understand.

TransCom.

If you love socialism,

you're going to love Medicare.

You're going to love all the great things that our military gets.

Right now, if you work for the government,

you get what they send you.

And they're sending these military trucks.

And because there are changes to the

PCS policy, this is the government policy, the moving companies are holding off on buying new equipment and

potentially delaying needed maintenance on their existing equipment because

they don't know if they're going to be doing business with the government because the government is thinking we're just going to do private.

We'll just, you know, you can get a U-Haul truck or you can call your own thing and, you know, do it like the rest of everybody does.

So these moving companies that have been getting these sweetheart deals from the government, and they're really not the best,

they're not doing maintenance,

some of them.

And the fire was a result of a failed break on an interior tire for the trailer.

And apparently, it's because of these changes that the government hasn't decided if they're going to do or not.

So it's just an extra cherry on top.

Don't you love the government?

And don't you love socialism?

Oh, the healthcare stuff, just in and of itself, is going to be great.

There's an interesting article out about Kamala Harris's Medicare for all.

Yeah.

Which doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

Shut up.

She's back and forth on this, whether private insurance is going to be legal or illegal.

Yeah.

Right.

We know that.

Well, remember, 94% of doctors take private insurance, but 90% take Medicare.

Now, that Medicare only pays the doctor 20%

of what they charge for everybody else.

But she's like, don't worry about it.

The doctors are already, you're going to be able to keep your doctor because the doctors are already in the Medicare plan.

So bizarre.

So she's endorsed, and she came out and endorsed Bernie Sanders' plan on Medicare for all.

And then when she was asked about, are you going to make private insurance illegal?

She's like, yeah, let's get rid of it.

Then the next day, she followed up and said, well, no, of course we're going to keep private insurance still going to be available.

And she's gone back and forth on that point three or four times.

And she's landed in this weird place where she seemingly is

going to make private insurance illegal.

However, there's still opportunity for people to pay for health care.

So like you couldn't pay to get insurance, but you could pay a doctor to do extra things for you.

And if you think about this, people, because it doesn't make any sense to, I think, a conservative as to why you'd want to get rid of the option for private insurance.

And the idea is basically you don't want someone like an evil Glenn Beck to be able to use his evil money to buy better insurance than some person who doesn't have the means of Glenn, right?

And so, like, okay.

Why would you care?

Like, that's a crazy thing, but that is the theory behind it, just so people can even understand it because it's so far out of the norm, I think, of the way most people think.

You want the best for everyone.

They're saying they don't want...

people to have the ability to get the best.

It's why there's a Cadillac tax on companies like mine that provide the best best insurance.

Obamacare came with an original Cadillac tax.

I couldn't, I would be paying a penalty if I gave the best health insurance.

That makes no sense.

Right.

And by the way, the House repealed that this week in a story that did not get any attention.

Now, the Senate hasn't done it yet.

But all those health care plans went away because they realized no one is going to be paying for those and no company.

Amazing, though, the Democrats are the ones repealing it, which is a fascinating development.

Hopefully, the Republicans in the Senate go along with that and get rid of that because it's a terrible thing.

The reason why the Democrats are on board for that quickly is because unions don't like it.

Unions give their employees very good health care and they don't like that tax.

They've never liked that tax.

So that's really why that's happening.

But anyway, to Kamala Harris, she has two things going on at the same time.

One, she has endorsed Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All plan.

Two, she has promised, as a central part of her

financial

arrangement with America, should she be introduced as president, a $2 trillion middle-class tax cut.

Now, how you can get a tax cut for middle-class people and then also implement Medicare for all, which is $2.8

trillion per year.

Trillion dollars per year.

Yep.

Our whole budget, by the way, is $4.8 in 2020.

$4.8 trillion.

This is $2.8.

So half, over half.

What are you cutting?

If you're going to cut taxes,

what else?

Are you getting rid of the Pentagon?

Because she, I mean, look, Bernie Sanders has at least been honest about it.

Yeah, your taxes are going to go way up, even for middle-class people.

We're paying $32 trillion over a decade.

Of course, it's going up, right?

And it's going to be, by the way, much more than $32 trillion in a decade, but that's a whole nother story.

So she's now saying she's going to lower the taxes and then also increase the taxes.

So, like,

you guys realize those are the opposite of each other, right?

No, I don't think they do, but you're not supposed to think these through, Stu.

No, that would be a bad idea.

Yeah, you're not supposed to think these through.

Again, real quick, gofundme.com, search for Army Family Moving Fire, or just go to

my Twitter, my Facebook page, should be up there as well.

All right.

We've been hearing about the exodus of Americans from, oh, I don't know, the heavily taxed areas of our country to the states that embrace personal freedom, small government, lower taxes.

Hmm.

Huh.

Gee.

Democrats who think that we can just have Medicare for all.

Hmm.

Gee,

look what's happening at your level.

People are leaving places that are heavily taxed to places where they're not heavily taxed.

Why?

Because jobs are made there.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I had a fascinating conversation with Gavin McGinnis last week while I was up in New York.

He is just an incredible guy.

Very, very funny, very politically incorrect.

He's a comedian, a provocateur, but he's also a pretty deep thinker.

And we talked about the plan of the left.

And I want you to hear a bit of what he told me.

As soon as you start questioning the left, then you're not 100% with them.

And if you're not 100% with them, you're 100% against them.

So shortly after leaving Vice, you know, I was doing comedy videos and pitching TV shows where I was welcome and did a ton of pilots and stuff and movies and books.

And then

they started realizing that I don't like the government and they cut you off.

So I can't go to a a pitch room in LA anymore.

And so.

So wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before you get there, how is it that

people who

used to say don't trust the man, don't trust anyone over 30, don't trust the government, they're now so pro-government.

They're saying

Donald Trump is a fascist.

We got to get rid of all of the guns.

I mean, it's so, it hurts.

There's so much gentle, I mean, a mental gymnast in the liberal heads.

No, I don't understand.

It's the opposite.

It's mental obesity.

We are living in an incurious zenith right now where people have just, like North Koreans, they're just fed this crap.

The government realized that they can accrue a lot of power by starting the whole Nazi myth.

and saying white supremacy is everywhere.

Everyone's a Nazi.

And the more fear they instill with that, the more power they get.

You think the government started that?

Is that kind of?

I think the DNC is behind this.

I think a lot of people are going to be able to do that.

You mean the political parties and the

left, yeah.

And the NTFAR are, you know,

what's the word?

Easy fools?

Usually.

And I think

when you're incurious, you're an easy target for manipulation.

And I think half of the country has been manipulated.

I mean, within the liberals, we were talking about this earlier, but I think there's like this sliver of radicals, like the, what were they called?

I always confuse them with wasabi sauce.

The Wahhabis.

Wasabi.

They're spicy on your tuna and they're spicy on your religion.

So take it easy with that.

Little dose of Wahhabi.

One will blow you up, the other right, burn your tongue.

I feel like my nose is going to blow up from that Wahhabi.

So they took over Islam and ruined it.

But, you know, the moderate Muslims are still people you want to grab a coffee with, I guess it won't be a beer.

And with the left, they've let these radicals take over and Antifa, Ilhan Omar, they've polluted the whole left.

Right, you said

Antifa is a

useful idiot.

Yeah, the paramilitary wing of the DNC.

But I wonder if it's not going to end up that the DNC were useful idiots.

Because it's

for the extreme left, for the people who

want to stop a free market,

want to blow up the system and have direct democracy, which we know that what that'll lead to.

I mean,

I think Nancy Pelosi,

I mean, she's afraid of those people now.

It's a really fascinating conversation.

If you are still curious about the world, one you should listen to.
