Let Your Freak Flag Fly? | Guests: Pat Gray & Aaron Watson | 6/24/19

I'm Hillary.

That's your Four Minute Buzz, and now here's Glenn and Stu with the show.

Glenn, welcome back in the studio.

Thank you.

Very nice to be back.

We have Home Title Occupy our sponsor.

One of the largest real estate title companies suffered a breach of nearly 900 million homeowner files.

Your home's title, your mortgage, your bank loans, your personal info may be in the hands of identity thieves.

They're going to forge your home's title so it appears that you sold it, and then they get the loans from online lenders using your equity and stick you with the payments.

No identity identity theft program or any insurance covers you in this.

And the first 30 days after a breach are crucial, so I've got 30 days of protection for you for free.

Go to home titlelock.com for 30 days of free title and mortgage fraud protection.

Home Title Lock puts a barrier around your house.

Home TitleLock.com.

Go there now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, hello, America.

Boy, are we at a crossroads?

We are at this crossroads where we have to decide what are we going to be?

Who are we going to be?

What is our republic?

Right now, Bernie Sanders says it's not appropriate to deport illegal aliens.

I think there's more going on in the border, on on the border, than most people think.

Not you.

I just think anybody who is really not paying attention to this and like, oh, you know what?

We got to have compassion.

There's more going on and the Democrats are involved and I'll tell you about it in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Okay, we've talked about, you know, the Federal Reserve and mortgage rates an awful lot.

We're at a point in our history where mortgage rates are now so low that we have an opportunity to get our financial house in order and set our course for our family's future.

Now, history tells us that these rates are not going to last, so it's important that you take advantage to lock things down now.

A primary need, your shelter.

Like

a building on a rock rather than sand, a mortgage at a low fixed rate is really super important because it provides stable financial platforms for your family.

With rates this low, right now it's worth the 10-minute phone call to American Financing.

Now, maybe you can afford that monthly mortgage payment that you

didn't have.

You couldn't afford, well, now with the mortgage rates this low, can you?

Call American Financing.

Help you get

into a home with little or no down payment.

Please, please be careful.

But these are the people that I trust to help you through and navigate this system with you.

It's American Financing.

Go to AmericanFinancing.net.

The number is 800-906-2440.

That is AmericanFinancing.net.

Do you know who's in control?

If you see them, let them know that I'm looking for direction, something solid I can hold.

Let me talk a little bit about the president.

Last night he did his first

Spanish-speaking interview.

He didn't speak Spanish, neither did the interviewer, but it was for, I think, Telemundo.

It was incredibly unfair.

It's everything that you would expect, okay?

Why are you ripping families apart?

No, I stopped it.

I stopped it.

It was Obama.

We're not talking about Obama here, sir.

Yeah, but I stopped it.

It was Obama.

We're not talking about Obama here, sir.

I mean, it's that kind of stuff.

So it's just so frustrating.

I just,

I endured it once.

I don't want to have to endure it a second time.

Although he did a really good job.

He kept his cool the entire time.

He just kept restating

the facts.

I thought he did an excellent job on that last night.

And the media is so convinced that they're right on this, and I don't think they are.

I think people are seeing, and I mean Hispanics and everybody else, people are people.

We all want secure jobs, secure neighborhoods, safe places for our families.

When he got into,

well, you said that MS-13 members are coming over, but there's a lot of other people.

Yes.

But mixed in those people, if it's one in a hundred, that's too many.

We don't know who these people are.

I think that actually

works for the average person.

And I'm not talking about, man, I've been traveling the country here this summer, and I just don't think people are playing the politics game like talk radio plays it, like certainly like the media plays it.

We're hyper-focused on this, but the average American is pretty much done and they're just watching it, you know, from a distance.

And if he can remain calm and cool as he did

all the way through,

he's going to make an impact because this is getting worse and worse and worse.

And the Democrats, this compromise with Nancy Pelosi that they announced this weekend, did you see that, Stu?

On the border?

Yeah.

Yeah.

He announced he was going to do these raids, and then he said, at request of Democrats, I'm going to delay the raids for a couple of weeks to see if they can work something out.

So she did.

She worked something out.

She's going to provide all of the funding so they can move on and help communities deal with all of these,

but nothing for actual security.

Just, yeah, we'll help get these people out and on their feet.

No,

that's not what we were asking for.

And

I think that the average American is going to see through this game.

And I think the Democrats almost, I think they want him to act through executive order.

Because they're not acting reasonably here at all.

And I really think that they want him to take this on.

And quite honestly, I'm at that point.

Mr.

President, just we're going to lose our country.

We're going to lose our country.

You can't have this kind of influx.

I find it interesting, too, the way the media looks at this, because if you go back to, let's say, when Republicans were saying, we don't want Planned Parenthood funded,

and then they quote unquote shut down the government.

And the focus was constantly on the victims, right, of

this shutdown, the people who didn't have their, you know, the military people didn't get their paychecks.

And like, they went through every case they could to try.

And when, you know, when the military paychecks came, then it was another thing.

It was always some

desperate person who was being affected by the Republicans.

And

the idea was: you know, Republicans should just get past this little thing they have with funding abortion and give the money to the people who need it.

Well, look at this situation.

Tell me it's not the exact same thing, right?

Like, Republicans are asking, saying, Look, give us money to deal with all of these asylum claims and all these illegal immigrants that are crossing.

You keep saying that,

you know, we're detaining them in this horrible, inhuman way when we need more money to deal with them.

As everybody has noted, the numbers are up in incredible amounts.

So they've asked for it.

They've asked to take care of the problem Democrats are identifying, right?

That

these detainments

are not

the best, right?

They want to improve them.

So what do they say?

What's the...

I mean, if it was handled the same way, he'd say Democrats should get over the idea that they should not fund this and they're pushing all the politics that are difficult on Republicans and deal with the actual victims here.

No, this again falls on the Republicans as the problem.

The Republicans aren't doing enough to help the illegal immigrants.

And then they talk about whatever Trump tweeted last week.

Well, why don't the Democrats have to get over their ideological upset with the president on this?

Why don't they just have to give him the money?

So here's a very good point.

And we all know the answer, I think,

that there's, you know, there's

no real honest broker on one side.

You know, what the Democrats are now proposing is you have a leak in your bathroom, and it's just pouring water out on the floor.

What they're suggesting is that they will help.

They'll help.

They'll help rebuild the walls.

They'll help, you know,

rebuild the floor.

Well, wait, I don't, I need help right now shutting the water off.

That's what we need.

Shut the water off.

Well, I'm going to make sure that everybody can get in there and all the kids have boots.

I don't want my kids having boots.

Shut the water off.

That's the problem.

And, you know, it's

we can say that it's for whatever reason, but here's the reason

the Democrats are doing this.

And I'm, I'm convinced of it.

I don't have any evidence except past

and past performance

in exactly the same situation over in Europe.

All of the same people that are saying, open our borders, open our borders, open our borders, are the ones who said, you got to take on all these migrants.

You have to take them on.

You have to take them on.

And people like me were saying, you can't take them on.

You can't just have open immigration.

You're going to have all kinds of problems.

You're going to have more rapes, more violence.

Some of these people are good.

Some of these people aren't good.

You're going to get extremists that are coming across your border.

You can't do that.

You're also going to upset all of the people who feel like they're not being listened to.

So what's happening now in Europe?

Europe is being torn apart.

And what are the people in France talking about?

What are the people in Germany talking about?

What are the people all over Europe talking about?

In Spain, in Greece?

Direct elections.

Full democracy.

No republics.

One man, one vote.

Full democracy.

What are they doing here?

They're trying to get rid of the Electoral College.

What the left is trying to do right now is bring the world to a place to where you have true democracy, which is majority rules.

Now, in Germany, they're afraid because it's the Uber right that is asking for direct democracy.

Because

the right is the one saying, you know, you brought all these migrants in, and now everything's going to hell, and you're telling us to shut up.

We can't talk about it.

Well, we're tired of listening to you.

You have the power.

You've had it too long.

And you're trying to shut us up.

And you're letting all these people in, and they're changing Germany not for the better.

They're not adding.

They're bringing their stuff and then telling us, with your help, exactly how we're supposed to live.

We've had it.

So in Germany, the left is very afraid of direct democracy.

They're trying to stop it there.

In France, they're not trying to stop it.

So what's happening here?

Well, we have

our migrant caravans, just like you had the migrant boats going up into Europe.

They know this destroys a country.

They know it.

They see it happening now in Europe.

That's why they're trying to keep our borders open.

They know that it will divide us even more.

They know that it will cause chaos.

They know that it causes political unrest.

I know that sounds like a crazy charge to make.

I know that.

And I expect everyone on the left and in the media, if they would ever cover anything, they would cover that as a crazy conspiracy theory, etc., etc.

But give me another reason.

Because this is not compassion.

What you're doing, chaos is never compassionate.

Never.

You must have triage.

If you said, you know what, we got to get rid of triage.

Everybody is hurting.

We got to get rid of triage.

That's what they're saying.

The United States is the hospital.

And they want to get rid of triage.

Just everybody needs to get to a doctor.

Well, what's that going to do to the hospital?

More people will die because of that.

More chaos, and in chaos, you cannot heal anything.

So tell me exactly.

Give me a better explanation because I don't buy compassion.

Chaos, as I have told you for 15 years, is the operative word of the future.

What do we have going down on the border?

Chaos.

Anything that encourages chaos, run from.

Nobody likes being manipulated, especially when it's done on the internet.

It's creepy when you do an online search and then you're fed a barrage of ads and stories by companies that are trying to sell you something.

It's quite honestly a personal infringement of privacy, I feel.

And it's relentless.

It's even worse when cyber criminals invade your phone, your desktop, your tablet, and steal your private information, steal your identity.

But there's an easy way to build a fortress around your data, a simple VPN.

Nobody is tracking you.

Nobody is selling your information to

their clients.

That's the one thing that you have to decide now, that I don't think we ever used to have to decide.

Am I the product or am I the customer?

Facebook looks at you like a product.

Google looks at you like a product.

Okay?

They gather all the information.

They're selling you.

That's what's different.

And that's why you need Norton secure VPN because nobody's collecting all of that information.

I have a right to be who I am, go where I want to, and have a right to privacy.

You need a a virtual private network to be able to do that.

That's why a VPN right now is really important, and you have to have it with the right group, a group that you can trust.

Norton Secure VPN, the convenience of the connected world without the worries of online privacy and security.

Just go to norton.com/slash VPN.

Protection starts at 333 a month.

That's norton.com/slash VPN.

Download the app, put the password in once, and everything runs through the VPN.

No worries anymore.

Norton.com slash VPN.

We break for 10 seconds station ID.

Holy cow.

Just what a what a world we're living in right now.

What a world we're living in.

Just let me throw this in real quick.

I'm really excited to see you beginning this weekend

here at the studios for our 12-score and three years ago museum.

This museum is

all about learning from the past, and we make direct correlations.

This is the first time we've ever done this.

Direct correlations from the history to today.

This is the history.

This is how it happened.

This is what it was.

This is today.

You see if there's any parallel.

And you're going to learn history.

You're going to feel history.

You're going to be surrounded with history.

And you can get your tickets now at mercury1.org.

It opens up this, is it Friday or Saturday?

I think it's Saturday.

Opens up the 30th.

And it runs until July 7th.

And so if you're anywhere in the Dallas area, bring your family.

I'll be here.

David Barton will be here.

Stu will be here.

I'm usually here for

the whole thing.

I do give tours, but I can't give all of the tours.

And so there are selected tours where you can help Mercury One on

all of our missions by

ponying up for one of those.

Nobody's making any money.

It's all going to charity.

But sign up.

You can sign up to take a tour with Stu or I think Pat.

Is Pat doing one?

I'm not sure.

I know myself and Jeffy are doing one.

And what we'll do is we'll go through like David Barton's tour.

We'll just kind of get to the back of that, watch his entire tour, take all the stuff from there, and then we'll look really smart on our tour.

That's really smart.

What a dummy.

Anyway, so you could take that's a really bad philosophy there.

Take the person who knows the stuff.

We'll steal all the good stuff.

We'll add in making fun of you.

That's a solid tour.

Well, you didn't say the making fun of me.

I think that's expected.

Okay, all right.

Basically, my job.

So, anyway, it's the 12-score and three years ago pop-up museum.

We invite you to come.

I urge you to come

and be surrounded by a lot of like-minded people.

It's always so great to have the audience come together.

MercuryOne.org.

MercuryOne.org.

Get your tickets now for our pop-up museum.

You'll see the original Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address,

all of it.

Mary Todd Lincoln's funeral dress,

all kinds of stuff, but tied directly to today in ways that

you won't believe.

You really won't believe.

Okay.

Stu.

Looks like Buddha Judge.

The media is saying he's out now.

It's funny because we said this from the beginning.

It's why we never really, you know, it's hard to move him up to the very top because no one has criticized him.

Yeah.

Like he's not going to just walk into the nomination.

Correct.

So someone at some point is going to say something negative.

Apparently, we've now found what that thing is, which is apparently he doesn't like black people, which is a stunning accusation to a white person from the Democrats, which is, you know, the only thing that they say about every single person.

So the idea here is that

he had an issue, and it was one of his only known scandals, was that he fired the first black police chief in South Bend and had been accused by some in the community of being racist.

The cops,

the makeup of the police had become too white.

And so there was a shooting over the weekend.

I love this story, too, because it's all focused on Pete Buttigieg.

And again, I don't want Pete Budigej to be president.

I do not.

I think he would be a bad president.

But the idea is they're like, well, there was a shooting and he's just not sensitive to it.

And then about 10 minutes into every piece of coverage on this, you hear the fact that

the officer who shot the black man, which is the new scandal, was carrying a knife and going after the police officer.

And it's like, at some point...

You can bring a gun to a knife fight.

At some point, do you get any responsibility for what happens?

No.

If you take a knife at a police officer, I mean, is there anyone in America who thinks that's going to turn out well?

Is there a good outcome?

Is there anyone who thinks it should turn out well?

It shouldn't.

I mean, look.

I mean, not necessarily.

Obviously, that there's not a die in the situation.

Obviously, you do what you can.

Right.

We don't know.

We don't know the bad.

But you would expect a gun to be fired.

Yeah, probably.

I mean, you know, or I would fire.

I'm a cop.

Somebody's coming at me with a gun or with a knife.

Yeah.

What's your responsibility?

Put a gun out.

Put your arms up and let him just stick the the knife in your stomach a few times.

I don't know what the person's supposed to do.

Well, they don't charge at cops with knives.

Yeah.

They're done with him now.

They're done with him.

It looks like they're done with him.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

It's amazing.

Let me tell you about X-Chair.

I'm here.

I'm back in the most comfortable chair.

You don't have an X-Chair at the ranch?

Uh-oh.

Oh, you got to go.

Yeah, I've ever planned on doing a broadcast there until this last couple of weeks, But I have to get an X chair there.

Did we send an X chair yet to Steven Crowder?

I don't know the answer.

Would you write that down?

I've got to send him an X chair.

Pat Gray joins us.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

You have a list of three things that

Democrats are very upset about.

Yes, because they're policy turnarounds by President Trump.

Oh, really?

Yeah, and so he's receiving some pretty heavy criticism because

he was going to

attach tariffs on Mexican products, and he didn't because they complied with what he wanted them to do.

Then he was going to attack Iran and pulled out of that at the last minute

because he had heard that 150 people were going to be killed in that attack, and he thought it it disproportionate.

Then he announced that ICE was going to begin deportations this week, and he delayed that.

And this is causing

America to just be a laughingstock now.

Is it like a red line in the sand?

It is, yeah, a little bit like that.

And

it's a national security issue, in fact, because

people just don't know where we stand on anything.

We know exactly where he stands.

I know exactly where he stands.

Mexico, tariffs.

It worked.

Cooperate or I'll give tariffs.

They cooperate.

No tariffs.

The next one.

Iran.

Iran.

The attack.

We're going to put a stop to this.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

150 people that may not be worth an even exchange for a $130 million machine.

That you would think that liberals would love.

Would love.

Because that shows compassion.

That is honestly the best message I have heard a president send

on any kind of military action.

You know, it's either weak or it's too strong.

This guy is like, look, we could pound you in the sand, but not a single life was lost on our side.

And so I don't want to do anything that's going to cause you to lose life because I don't think that's fair.

And I think that's, what do they call it?

Even response when they say it's

proportionate response.

That's what they're always saying.

This is way out of proportion.

And that's what they would have been saying.

Yes.

Had we done it.

Yes.

I actually like this,

this call from the president.

And I have to tell you something.

I am sick and tired of the press wanting it both ways.

They were the day before, this guy is reckless.

He just wants war.

He's just rushing into everything.

That's what they were saying up until he changes his mind.

Then it's he's reckless because nobody knows how to view him.

You know, he drew a red line in the sand.

And now what do our allies think?

Now what does Iran think?

Because they know they can cross that red line and not get any punishment?

Oh my gosh.

They can't take it.

They can't take it.

There's no way he can win.

No.

There's no way he can win.

And then the third one was the ICE deportations this week.

Since when are they for deportation?

Since when do they want ICE to follow through with deportation?

Plus, the other thing that we found out is the acting director of ICE said that because of

the leak, that they were going to start the deportations, the ICE agents would have been in danger this week.

And they went to Trump and told him that.

And he didn't want to put the ICE agents in danger.

And the ICE, the acting director of ICE, says that's why he delayed the

deportation move.

Because they knew, essentially, people knew it was coming.

Yeah, it was coming.

There are some, some of them are not maybe people who are just here for a better life.

Some of them are criminals.

So warning them that this is about to happen, probably not the best thing to do.

Could have been dangerous for them.

So he delayed it.

I mean, even if you don't necessarily follow the exact

storyline of the Trump administration,

where these things,

he makes these big threats and they always work out.

At the very least,

the media knows this dance, right?

Trump comes out and he makes a broad, a bold statement about some policy.

And then

he's using it obviously as a negotiation tactic.

And

they all know this.

Like they act, they take whatever is the worst interpretation of whatever he says and apply it to that moment.

So like, okay, it's deportations.

Well, he's the worst person in the world.

He can't,

he wants to get rid of all Hispanics.

Oh my gosh, this guy's basically Hitler.

And then he says, all right, I'm not going to do it.

And then it's like, well, this guy can't make his mind up.

What is wrong with him?

I mean, I thought we needed these deportations.

It's almost to the level where they're going to start arguing for the deportations.

I love the

access to it, where they absolutely are convinced that he's Adolf Hitler with concentration camps and he's Adolf Hitler.

Look how much he hates immigrants.

And yet he's the one going, it's the lowest unemployment rate for Hispanics in the history of America.

And I remember Adolf Hitler saying, it's the lowest unemployment rate for Jews.

I mean, he didn't say,

no, that wasn't his priority.

Look at what's happening.

And they just dismiss all of that.

It's honestly, it's like fighting with a five-year-old where the five-year-old,

you see what the five-year-old's five-year-old's excuse is going to be.

You see exactly what they're going to say long before, because you were five once.

And they keep making this excuse and then keep changing their reasons for why it should.

He's just eventually like, you're five, okay?

I'm not even arguing with you anymore.

That's where the president just needs to be.

I'm just, I'm not even arguing with any, you anymore because

it's kind of funny.

I think he's kind of there.

And

he doesn't really, and he shouldn't care what the Democrats, because he's never going to please the Democrats.

This was a game that George W.

Bush kind of got caught up in.

He started to try to please the other side of the equation, too.

No, no, no, wait.

Hang on just a second.

It's not that you try to please.

It's that you try to appeal to the reasonable people on the left.

But the people, not on the left, but in the Democratic Party.

Because I tried to do this.

I'm not trying to.

I'm not going to appease.

I'm not not going to change.

But I will try to appeal to the reasonable people out there.

But the reasonable people never stand up.

No.

They just never stand up.

Yeah.

So it does no good.

It does no good.

It does no good.

It didn't do any good for Bush.

They hated his guts even more when he tried to appeal to him.

And the same is true for Trump.

You can't win that war.

Oh, the idea that he is the most anti-gay president ever.

I'm so ridiculous.

I'm so sick of this.

He's the only pro-gay marriage president to ever be elected because every other president,

every other president was against it when they were first elected.

And he wasn't like, because I'm running, I better say this.

No.

No, it was years ago.

Years ago.

Years.

He's always been gay friendly.

I don't know what you people are talking about.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I mean, obviously,

he's not Elizabeth.

Is it Elizabeth Warren that now has come out with this?

Reparations for gay people because they didn't get their gay marriage ruling fast enough.

That's a fascinating one.

But, like, you know, there's another story that's been going on.

Do we buy everybody toasters?

Is that what we don't know?

Like a

wedding presence that we it's interesting because they didn't get tax breaks all this time.

She's saying that they should get now the tax breaks from marriage, which has never been something the Democrats have ever liked anyway, but apparently now they do because it applies.

I don't even know.

I can't even understand.

This is why I am against tax breaks for marriage entirely.

Oh, yeah.

So the government shouldn't be in it.

No, it shouldn't be in it at all.

So there's this viral video that went around on the left this weekend about how

the Trump administration is trying to prevent and arguing in court that

detained immigrants should not get soap or toothpaste because that's not the government's role.

And, of course,

this is a concentration camp.

I mean, even in concentration camps, we give soap and toothpaste.

And there's people like coming out and saying, I was detained by Syrians and they gave me toothpaste.

This This is unbelievable.

Well, what they don't include in the context of this video is, of course, that the Trump administration, the government lawyer now in the Trump administration, is arguing a case that was brought up in 2015.

It's an Obama administration case that has just continued into the Trump administration.

And the government's position is not that they should not give

soap or toothpaste.

It's that it's not

a specific violation of the Flores Agreement.

We've talked about that before over the years, which is one of the the things that set up this idea.

So they are trying to talk about a very specific legal thing.

It gets tossed out there as if it's this Trump violation, but the violation actually occurred during Obama.

Doesn't stop every one of your dumb friends from sharing it, though.

With the context of the left that has no idea that this was an Obama problem.

This is not a Trump problem.

The Trump argument is coming as a continuation of a case that started during the Obama era.

But it just doesn't matter.

And I don't know.

to kind of come up with this.

Well, maybe we'll come up with a logical reason, and these people will understand that they're being misled, that they'll see the truth, that they'll see the facts.

And

it just seems hopeless.

I mean, they just don't care about it.

They care about signaling whatever's inside that makes them feel like they're superior to your Neanderthal grandpa, who's that

horrible white conservative that we all have such distaste for.

And they have this, like, that is the motivation.

The motivation is never the truth.

The motivation isn't for these immigrant families.

It's the last thing in the world they cared about as evidence that this thing happened during the Obama administration and none of them even know it.

Like,

how could you have clearer evidence that they don't care about these immigrant families?

They don't care.

It's just a little piece of the puzzle to allow them to show their friends that they're better than everybody in, let's say, this audience.

And that's the goal.

The goal is not the truth.

The goal is not to help a family.

The goal is not to protect a woman's right.

None of these things have anything to do with the reasoning behind it, which is just signaling their virtue to everyone else.

And that's what's going to that's that eventually just comes undone.

That just eventually comes undone.

Oh, I have a

something I got from the New York Times, the Daily.

They sent a reporter over to Germany because they're now in Germany looking for direct democracy.

And that just goes to mob rule.

rule that's just majority rules and uh do they not understand that do they not know that

uh we we we went over to germany to talk to some of these radicals that are trying to get majority rules oh you will not

believe this i'm i'm listening to it and i'm thinking these people are so stupid or so dishonest i'm not sure which one it is is there a combination of the two there could be a play here could be could be just so stupid that they don't see.

And at one point, the guys are like, the New York Times reporter is saying, well, what about the death penalty?

This is very controversial in Germany, death penalty.

If you're against it, apparently, because of Hitler, nobody's for the death penalty over there.

So they took the most crazy thing that everyone is for.

Okay, no death penalty.

And said, what happens if people just voted for

the death penalty?

And the guy from the group that wants, you know, direct democracy said, well, that's ridiculous.

We'd never do that.

And then the New York Times is like, well, how do you know that they wouldn't do that?

I mean, are you

saying that you understand your group so much that they will never go that way?

Because remember, once you have majority rule, the majority could rule on anything.

And

you can't necessarily stop it then.

You won't be, Hello.

Hello.

Isn't that what you're doing here in America?

Yeah, but our side wouldn't be crazy.

Oh,

okay.

It's really nuts.

It's nuts.

Thanks, Pat.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

I'm very glad that you're here.

Let me go to Kathy in Pennsylvania.

Hello, Kathy.

Welcome.

Hi, Glenn.

Hi, Sue.

How are you guys doing?

Good, how are you?

Good.

Hey, you guys are having this 12th score in three years ago.

And that's beautiful.

Can I ask you, since you have all the information in front of you now and you're doing the tours, tape the tours, put it in the computer, have the computer type it out and make a book out of it so as people who can't be there and are really, really interested in this can have it on hand.

Well, I tell you what, David Barton just called me this weekend and said, Glenn, this is, he said, I have been working all weekend on it.

He said, I think this is the most important museum we've done.

He said, I think we should make a videotape and make it available for people who can't come.

And so I think we're going to do that.

I think we're going to be making a video.

And we're also going to do a couple of shows this, is it this week or next week on television?

So, if you're a Blaze subscriber, you'll also get some behind-the-scenes and some pieces of it.

So, we are working in that direction, Kathy.

Thank you so much.

Sorry, you can't be here.

And one other thing: a lot of people don't have computers.

I'm one of them, and I don't like them.

Is it possible to get more of your shows from Blaze TV computer onto the

TV with cable network?

No,

cable is no.

Mm-mm.

Not a chance on the cable network.

Sorry about that, but that's just not the direction that the cable networks are going

in our direction.

So sorry about that, Kathy.

Thank you so much for your phone call.

I mean, it's done a lot of, we do have, of course, carriage on still many, many

cable companies and satellites as well.

So we've checked your local listings for that.

If you want to get it, but she's asking for more

maybe more cable coverage or more stuff on the cable.

Yeah.

It's weird.

We do what we can.

Yeah, we do what we can.

It's very difficult.

Very

complicated.

You wouldn't believe how stupidly complex everybody tries to make stuff.

But they do, but they do.

All right.

Wow, Bitcoin is up to 11,000 again.

And this time,

it is not moving because the average person on the street is doing it.

It's moving now because the big investors, something that Tika Tiwari talked about and said that it was going to happen months and months and months ago, he's just wrong on the timing, but right in the direction.

Now it's at 11,000, and that's because Goldman Sachs and others are now in the Bitcoin business.

So now the industrial

investors are in.

More on that.

Also, Biden comparing Trump's election to the assassination of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.

I don't think that's over the top on the surface, do you?

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right.

Why is Bitcoin going up?

Bitcoin's going up because investors are going into it right now.

Why is gold going up?

Gold is going up because the world is becoming more and more crazy.

Have you seen the movement that gold has made recently?

You want gold to be really, really stable.

You don't want big swings because big swings, if it's got a big swing up, big swings mean things are becoming more crazy.

Gold ever gets to $3,000 an ounce.

I mean, I don't know if we're going to be talking to each other every day at that point.

That means the world's gone nuts.

Gold is going up.

The world is going nuts.

More and more so every day.

That's why gold is going up.

I want you to find out if gold or silver is right for you.

They've been in business for 50 years, but their technology is absolutely today's.

Before I get to Biden Stew, quickly your thoughts on

11,000 in Bitcoin.

It's

pretty interesting.

I don't remember tulips after they crashed coming back to what, more than half of their value.

Yeah.

You know, like people always like, well, it was at 19,000 and everyone lost their money.

It was at 19,000 for one day.

Literally one day.

It was above 18,000 for literally three days.

I mean, it was above 17,000 for literally five days.

There were a couple days that if you bought at the absolute worst time, you got hit pretty hard.

However, now, I mean, there's only it only spent 51 days over 11,000 in the entire quote-unquote bubble.

So, you know, we're talking, you go back to.

Just over a month.

Yeah, basically, not even, not even two months.

Not even two months.

So unless you bought at the absolute peak of the bubble, you are up on Bitcoin.

That is not something you could say about tulips.

That is not something you could say about a lot of this stuff.

I mean, you know,

yes, it did crash, and hopefully, you didn't sell then.

I know some people did, and we cautioned against that.

Who knows what's going to happen in the future?

But I mean, you're talking about something that was,

at the beginning of 2017,

was under $1,000.

You know, go find the stocks out there that you could have made 11 times your money in that period.

And even if you bought, I mean, we're talking about October 2017, you're still up dramatically.

You know, I mean,

remember, it peaked in December 2017.

Okay, that was when you had the one day at 19,000 that everybody talks about as if people only purchased on that day and they got killed.

But if you go back to October 2017, it started the month at 4,000.

Now, so you've base almost tripled your money if you bought two months before the absolute peak.

Even if you bought in November 2017, let's say mid-November, you're at 7,000.

So you're still up 50%.

I mean, how do you...

I'm actually really glad that this happened because you remember at the peak for that 30-day period, people were mortgaging their houses to buy Bitcoin.

That's when you knew this is crazy.

This is going to end.

When it becomes a fervor,

it's not going to last like that.

And then people get burned.

And usually it crashes and then goes away.

I don't know anything that had such a spectacular crash as Bitcoin and now is up

to 11,000, from 4,000 to from 19 to 4,000 to back to 11.

And this one has gone unnoticed.

This one is not.

No, this is not the people who are writing, are you in Bitcoin?

You got to get in Bitcoin.

This is crazy.

These are, this is exactly what we said would happen.

In institutional money would drive the price down.

They would say, oh, no, we don't believe in it.

And they would do everything they could to knock it back down until they could get in.

Now they've built

all of their desks.

They all have trading in it now.

And now the institutional investors can make money.

So now Goldman Sachs, et cetera, et cetera, JP Morgan Chase, now they can make money on Bitcoin.

And that's where this is coming from.

This is from institutional investors.

They don't move quickly like that.

They didn't, they didn't,

they're not driven by hype.

They're driven by long-term stability.

And now that they're all going into it, they all suddenly believe in cryptocurrency and, in particular, Bitcoin.

So now is the time that you're going to start to see solid moves on Bitcoin.

And who knows?

I honestly, you never know with the stuff.

It is very speculative.

But, you know, part of the reason why Facebook is obviously at some level embracing cryptocurrency, and that's been a big reason why it's been driving in the news.

Yeah.

I'm reading Ben Mesrick's new book, which is great.

And it's about essentially the Winklevoss twins.

Remember them?

They were, you know.

one of the people who basically started Facebook.

Let's be honest about it.

I mean, you know, Zuckerberg came in later later,

with programming, basically stole the whole thing, launched it without their knowledge while he was employed by the twins, right?

And it's like, and then by the way, later on, text messages and instant messages come out that basically prove the case that he was absolutely screwing them behind the scenes.

So he takes control of the company.

He makes all of this money, billions and billions of dollars.

They get, I think it was $65 million settlement.

off of this, which, you know, again, you don't feel too bad for them in that case, but this was basically their idea and they were paying him to build it.

And Zuckerberg wound up taking the whole thing.

So they get portrayed as like these two sort of doofy twins, right?

Like,

you know, they're blue bloods, who cares about them?

Well, not only did they basically create Facebook first, when they got their settlement, against everybody's advice, they kept most of it in Facebook stock.

They didn't take cash, they took it in stock, which they turned that 65 million into like 500 million.

Okay.

Then they went out and tried to do all these tech investments

and they were blocked.

No one

in

Silicon Valley wanted to do business with them because they knew

their goal was to get bought by Facebook.

So they can't do business with the Winkle Voss twins because Zuckerberg would never have it.

So they come back to New York, wind up getting in and figuring out that they wanted to get into Bitcoin.

They start acquiring Bitcoin at $7 a coin.

Seven.

It is now worth $11,000 a coin.

They actually put in,

they believe they had the largest stake of anyone in the entire market, about 1% of all Bitcoin owners.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

And they, I mean, are pouring money into it as it's going up from 7% to 10 to 30 to $70 a coin and pouring money into it by a Bitcoin company or that you know invest heavily in a Bitcoin company that's helping make these transitions.

I mean, at some point, do you get the idea that maybe these guys are just really smart?

Like, maybe

these twins that have been like sort of like mocked over this long period of time for being these, oh, these hapless guys that lost Facebook like morons.

Like, wait a minute, these guys

have basically launched two revolutions.

Yeah, but let me ask you this: see, this is why we don't judge people

on the surface.

Because put yourself back in, let's say, 2001,

You're in your office

and

your secretary calls in and says,

Mr.

Begir,

I have

a Mr.

Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins on line three.

You immediately say,

Is this a joke?

No, they're serious.

The Winklevoss twins and Mr.

Zuckerberg, very serious.

You don't take the call because you just think this is a cloud show.

Right.

You don't take a Zuckerberg or Winkle Voss seriously.

Yeah, that's not a good way to make your investment decisions, judging by if you think the last name sounds funny.

Right.

Right.

But now they've got a little record, and so a Winklevoss

calls, you don't make fun of the name.

I got to imagine now.

People are absolutely happy to take their calls.

Yeah.

Right?

At this point.

Yeah, I think I'm happy to take their call.

If they ever.

Mr.

Beck, yes, Winklevoss twins are on the line.

I'll take that call.

Yes, I'll take that.

Are you going to buy more?

Bitcoin?

Did you buy more?

I have bought, you know,

I have a.

You never...

You are a spy.

You are funding some Canadian terrorist organization that just

terrorists are pretty lackadaisical.

Right.

They like throw.

They like throw maple syrup at pancakes, you know, that go into an international house of pancakes.

We're against this internationalism of the globalist agenda of international house of pancakes.

And you throw maple syrup on people's pancakes.

That, but you're funding it.

It's a delicious terrorist request.

Yes, I will say that.

Let me tell you about our sponsor is Relief Factor.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

All right, let me get to Joe Biden.

Here's some audio of

Joe Biden saying that the Donald Trump election night was a little like something else in history.

Listen.

People get out of jail.

The idea, we give them 25 bucks and a bus ticket to go under a bridge, but they don't qualify for public housing.

They don't qualify for food.

They don't qualify for

Pell Grants.

That's crazy.

We should be doing the opposite.

You know, Rev, you've been calling, I've been calling for a long time, there should be job training in prisons, not training people how to be criminals.

There's so much we can do and it's within our capacity to do it.

That's the interesting thing.

And I think what's happening now is I think that Donald Trump may have reawakened sensibilities in this country to say, whoa.

Maybe we can do this now, just like our generation was awakened when Dr.

King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.

A lot whole generation generation said, I'm back in, man.

These millennials, they get it, man.

And now they want to get in.

They get it, man.

They get it.

These millennials, they get it, man.

Wow, man.

It's like when our generation, man, woke up, man.

You know, man.

Because

I really hate

the

argument that you should get in trouble for comparing things.

Like, they'll always be like, oh, you know, Glenn Beck compares, you know, Nancy Pelosi to Nazis.

And like,

and you'll be like, okay.

And you're like, well, what's, what did he say?

And he said, well, I don't think that you should have this policy because, you know, one of the reasons why, I mean, this has happened before.

Like, this is the first step down this road and we shouldn't go down the road anywhere near these things.

And, you know, like

you're making an analogy.

And of course, when you're making a point, right?

One of the things you do is go to the most extreme level of that, right?

Like, it's to set the precedent that the argument is theoretically possible, right?

If you were to say, well, I don't want any government intervention.

I never want war.

Well, what about World War II?

That doesn't mean you're comparing whatever conflict you're talking about now to World War II.

You're trying to set the precedent that in theory, you might be for war, actually.

And so I usually hate that argument.

Here, though, he really is just comparing it.

He's saying

there are certain things in our history that get people started.

And this should be considered on the same level, right?

He's saying people.

Now, think of this.

Think of this.

My father told me, I asked him one time, what were the 1960s like, Dad?

And he said, well, they were different because the vast majority of people were still,

you know, on a sane side.

And so we kind of all stood around watching our television sets going, this is crazy.

What's happening to our country?

He said

it wasn't as universal

as it looked.

Now, he's giving a Pacific Northwest kind of analogy for him, which didn't have

a lot of that.

But he even talked about, he said, when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were shot and Malcolm X, he said, we thought the whole world was coming undone.

He said, it just felt like everything was coming undone.

Now, he's just put the assassination

of Martin Luther King, the civil rights icon,

and Robert Kennedy,

another icon, the assassination of those two,

into the same category as Donald Trump winning an election,

as saying that's as shocking,

and it shocked the system.

Do you really think that it was as shocking as Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy's assassination?

And by the way, what did those assassinations do?

Between that and what happened at Candlestick Park,

the left kind of fell apart.

The left kind of fell apart.

It was kind of the beginning of the end

of the radicalized movement because people had had enough.

They had had enough.

So

are you implying that when you woke up, because what he's saying is people woke up to that and they decided to stand up.

Be more active.

Be more active.

No,

actually,

normal people stood up and said, yeah, okay, we got to stop this.

This is craziness, what's going on.

The Civil Rights Act was already moving forward.

The Civil Rights Act was done in 1964.

So we had already moved that

barrier.

We were moving forward.

And the people led the politicians on that.

Correct.

Correct.

And it didn't take the assassination of Martin Luther King or Robert Kennedy.

That happened four years before they started shooting people.

I mean, the best version of his point is essentially you get to this idea that things are good racially, right?

And

things are fine.

And then there's an assassination, and you're like, wow, people really do hate, you know, minority figures.

And then you have another assassination.

People really do hate other people.

And then this is kind of what I think he's saying, which is we got lulled into sleep by the wonderful Obama Obama years.

And this is coming from Joe Biden.

And then we realized that, oh, wow, we haven't passed these race issues.

Donald Trump got elected, and so we need to get active again.

Of course, we had,

you know, we, and we pointed this out at the time.

The Obama election came at a time where I think we had

really had moved past a lot of those things.

Not because of Obama's election, because people don't care.

People don't care what your stupid

skin color.

Who cares?

Like, how anyone can make a decision based on that?

And anyway, by the way, that includes things like affirmative action and all of these other things, but

you don't make decisions based on skin color.

Thought it was something we all agreed on.

And then Obama gets into office and it's the constant focus.

He's constantly highlighting racial divides.

He spends eight years telling us how much white people hate black people.

When I, I don't know, I mean, I'm not saying there's no racism.

Of course there is, but like generally speaking, I mean, you know, I don't have, I mean, I don't see it as average person.

And I should see it.

I'm a conservative in Texas.

Shouldn't I see racism all the time?

And, you know, you talk to, we have David Harris on

News and Why It Matters today.

And he made this point yesterday.

He's like, we're not victims here.

He's African-American, if you don't know him.

And he's like, stop calling us victims.

Stop making us out to be victims.

We don't need reparations from you.

We need to be able to do the things that we want to do.

We need to be able to live our lives without your involvement in them.

If we don't want your involvement in them, we don't need the government getting in our way.

And, you know,

that is, I think, where the average African-American is, right?

Like, we want to be able to do our thing.

Stop, you know, getting in our way.

And yet, this is constantly highlighted by the media.

As if the only thing that anyone cares about are racial divides to the point that even Joe Biden is on the wrong side of it on the Democratic Party, that even Pete Buttigieg is on the wrong side of it.

You can't even be a liberal white person who says every single one of these arguments is true and

pushed for basically reparations.

That's not even enough.

There's nothing that's enough.

And that's the lesson here is like you can't, these are the extreme elements of these movements are not able to be reasoned with them.

Wow, that monologue was almost, I feel like we just witnessed the

crucifixion of Jesus Christ there.

I don't know.

I don't know.

That hatred

is just crazy.

I think you'll see the results of that as the storm clouds gather.

You're listening to Glenn back.

Okay, the one thing I found out yesterday Car Shield can't cover is

tires.

Yesterday I had two blown-out tires.

I was in Amarillo.

I'm on my way home.

Two.

It was happy.

It was happy times.

It was happy times.

You bet.

You bet.

It was.

You know, one of those would go.

Son, I'm going to show you how to change a tire.

I'm not going to show you.

I'm going to talk you through it.

It's for your own good.

Two of them?

No.

Don't have two spare tires.

Anyway,

And believe it or not, I think some of the songs were written with you in mind.

And we'll get into that coming up in the next half hour.

Aaron Watson joins us here in our studios.

Let me go through a couple of things.

First of all,

Biden has kind of doubled down on the segregationists.

He says he misses.

Well, here, let me play.

Here's Biden.

Welcome, South Carolina, to hearing from all of us, and we're happy at all to be here.

The only thing I miss is my buddy Fritz Hollins.

He was one of my mentors, and I'm sorry he's not here.

Oh my gosh.

He believed in segregation.

Remember Trent Lott, that controversy from years ago where he said, who was it, even Stroman?

It was Strom Thurmond.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He was like, Strom Thurmond was

147th birthday.

Right.

It really was.

He was in a wheelchair.

He couldn't even...

Like that.

Yeah.

And Trent Lott stood up and said, you know,

you know, there's lots of things.

He's been a great senator for a long time and lots of things.

If we would have done what he said, you know, maybe the country would have been off and been a lot better.

You mean like segregation?

You mean the one thing that he said was really bad?

Yeah.

That thing?

Is that what you're saying?

No, that's not one of the things.

Well, no, you didn't.

And then they threw him out of his leadership position.

Now, Trent Lott sucks in a million ways, and I'm glad he's out of the Senate, but not like the way that he was.

No.

You know, I wanted him to be defeated by somebody better.

But they threw him out because they made this sort of fake controversy.

Does Biden have to deal with that now?

I mean, I guess he kind of, this is their version of doing it.

Kind of.

Sort of.

Yeah, he's going to learn his lesson.

He gets up and he's like, hey, by the way, remember that racist you guys said?

Man, I miss him.

He was my mentor.

But that's going to be okay.

Yeah, that's okay.

Corey Booker is going to surely point this out, though.

Corey is trying to make a name for himself.

He's been basically invisible throughout the primary.

So his claim to fame right now is he's the one calling out Biden Biden most loudly.

But he's doing it like this, not really loudly.

You know, I just, I, most publicly.

Oh, my, he's just, I'm so concerned.

You know, he's got to learn from things like this, and I'm the one to teach him.

Yeah, he needs to apologize.

And Biden's like, I'm not going to apologize to you for this.

I mean, his initial comments were basically, I want to work across the aisle, and I'll have to do it with people that I think have terrible opinions, which he said.

But

shouldn't we do that?

Shouldn't we be, aren't we?

Can't we talk to people that we think have bad ideas?

Can't we work with them on some things?

Right.

I mean, that's the way it's supposed to be, right?

It's interesting because he's going to be in the middle of this debate, and Biden's going to be asked about this.

And I think if I were him, I would say, look, every day we come out here on the campaign trail, all of us, and we say the Republicans are really bad on climate change.

They're really bad on race relations.

They're really bad on women's rights and gay rights and income inequality and all the things that we say have really damaging uh outcomes for the american people i believe that stuff do you not believe it because i believe that these things are really bad for america and yet i'm going to still work with republicans i know corey you just worked with the trump administration on criminal justice reform Do you not believe any of the things that you say about the Trump administration?

Because you say really bad things about him.

You accuse them of terrible things.

I think you should stop this monologue right now because I don't want him to use this because I think this is a very effective argument.

It is, isn't it?

Yeah.

And it's actually a way for Biden to kind of get to the left of all of these people in the primary, which would benefit him, but also show that he's willing to work across the aisle.

Because I think what it really reveals more than anything else, if you're really thinking about it, is that, you know, Democrats are just saying these things about Republicans.

They're saying that tax cuts only benefit the rich.

They're just saying all of these things, and they don't actually mean them.

I mean, you know, the climate change thing, I mean, segregation is really bad.

Okay.

One One of the worst things that I can think of.

Racism, awful, right?

We all know this.

However, if you were going to accuse someone of something terrible,

destroying the entire human population for oil company profits is almost worse, isn't it?

I think it might be.

It's at the very least on the same level.

I think it might be.

And if you're going to make that case, you can't then say this, Mr.

Corey Booker,

about Louis Farrakhan.

Listen to this.

Would you be willing to have an audience with him concerning that subject matter?

You know, I have met, I live in Newark, so we have famous Mosques 25.

We have Nation of Islam there.

As mayor, I met with lots of folks talking to him.

I've heard Minister Farrakhan's speeches for a lot of my life.

So I don't feel like I need to do that, but I'm not one of these people that says I wouldn't sit down with anybody here.

So wait, wait.

Joe Biden, Joe Biden, in 1972, you shouldn't have sat down with any Democrats.

You're a Democrat.

They're Democrats.

You shouldn't sit down with any Democrats that were

segregation-minded.

Don't, don't do that.

No, can't do that.

But today, oh, I'll meet with anybody.

I mean, Louis Farrakhan.

Wait,

what?

I mean, look, Corey Booker is not good at this.

No.

How transparent is this?

Yeah.

I mean, Booker has tried to sell himself as someone who does work across the aisle while accusing Republicans of wanting to literally wipe out every single human being on the planet because of climate change.

It's okay to work with someone who's doing that, but it's not okay back in the day to work with someone inside your own party.

I'm glad you pointed that out, Glenn.

Inside your own party who's a segregationist.

That is...

I mean, these things are so transparently just political arguments to try to win this primary.

They can't possibly believe anyone thinks that they actually believe it.

But it's treated that way because right now, the media wants Biden to do poorly.

They don't want this to be the case when

if he gets the nomination and he's going against Trump, every one of these little controversies will just go by and they'll excuse all of them.

But right now, they think, well, we could get Kamala Harris.

We could get Elizabeth Warren.

We could get Bernie Sanders.

Let's go after Joe Biden and make every one of his comments look like the worst thing possible.

I mean, the guy was, and I brought this point up before.

Barack Obama and every single person who's elected president or is running for president seriously and wins a nomination gets, in effect, a one-person presidential election.

They are able to select the person they think is most qualified to run the country other than themselves, right?

Barack Obama, with every human being on earth that was born in the United States and at least is a natural-born citizen, is able to choose from anyone over 35 and selects Joe Biden.

So you have to believe that Barack Obama thinks that Joe Biden is not a racist, would you not?

Would you think that Obama believes that Biden is not a racist?

Yes.

I think he probably does.

So what are you accusing Obama of?

You're accusing Barack Obama of being a giant racist who hates black people?

I mean,

the mental gymnastics

that identity politics forces you into, they're incomprehensible.

So listen to these mental gymnastics.

So I'm driving yesterday.

The last two days we were coming down across the Rocky Mountains, which was an incredible experience.

I-70, I went up to Idaho across I-70, and it is truly a wonder of the world.

It really is.

The engineering, it started in the 1950s.

Do you know that they didn't finish that highway through the Rocky Mountains until the 1990s?

1990s?

Wow.

I see things happening in a construction project out in front of my house.

Yes, I know that.

I know that.

But it is an engineering masterpiece.

I mean, it is a wonder of the world.

It really is.

Then on the way back, I go through

on, I think it's I, or not I, I think it's a Highway 50 over the Monarch Pass.

And it's another incredible, incredible thing.

But we're listening to music, and my daughter gets a day to pick all of the music.

Okay, so we're listening to all these musicals, and we're listening to Shrek, the musical.

Have you ever listened to that?

No.

Okay.

There's one song on there called Freak Flag.

Okay.

Now listen to this because this was written for a show in the 90s, 1999 maybe.

Okay.

Now listen to this and tell me if this is even politically correct now, if this song shouldn't be protested.

Okay.

And by the way, nobody, of course, that did this or is currently doing this sees any irony at all.

Okay?

Listen to this.

Listen up, puppet.

We spent our whole lives wishing and we're not wishing we weren't so freaking strange.

They make us feel the pain, but it's they who need to change the way they think that is.

It's time to stop the hiding.

It's time to stand up tall.

Sing, hey, world, I'm different.

I'm here, splinters and all.

Let your freak flag wave.

My what?

Let your freak flag wave.

That's what I'm talking about.

Never take it down.

Never take it down.

Raise it up high.

Let your freak flag fly.

Let it fly, fly, fly.

Okay.

Now, who are the strange ones now?

Who are the ones that are being called strange every step of the way?

Conservatives, religious people, people who voted for Trump.

Just want you to know, Broadway would like you to fly your freak flag.

Trump supporters.

So fly it.

Fly, fly, fly.

Let it fly.

Let it

hoist it up high.

Let it it fly.

The right kind of freak fly.

Right, I know.

Um, Humpty Dumpty then says, You ready?

It's hard not to be a pumpet, so many strings attached.

Humpty Dumpty says, but it's not the choice you make,

it's just how you were hatched.

Hold on,

hold on just a second here, Humpty Dumpty.

Hold on, you're saying that it's not the choice you make,

it's how you were were hatched?

Huh.

See, I don't think so, Humpty.

And I don't think all the king's men and all the king's horses can put you back together again after something that hateful.

You're saying that it's how you were born, not a choice.

I thought that was the way you were.

Isn't that what Lady Gaga told us was the right thing?

Well,

Lady Gaga, if that's what you're saying.

She said born this way, right?

I mean, that's the whole argument.

It's supposed to be about how you're born.

Well, it's not how you're born.

It's not how you're born.

You can make a choice.

Don't

gender.

That was on the gay issue.

He was born this way.

But the transgender issue is the

correct.

Well, I think men with gay, you can choose.

You can choose anything you want.

It's not born anymore.

It's not born anymore.

Because I mean, you know what's really outdated too in this context is the term sexual preference.

Like there used to be a time in which you said, I prefer

women, and that's okay, and you prefer men, and that's okay.

That's no longer the case either.

It's not about a preference, yes, it's about something completely different now.

You can't say that because then you're saying, Well, you there was an article that came out the other day that said, if you are not attracted and would not date a transgendered person, you're hateful.

You're hateful.

You're hateful because if you just think, yeah, it's not my thing, no thanks, that means you're a hater.

Yeah, that you

despise.

You have to be initiated.

I think we've talked about this before.

You must participate.

You must participate.

If you don't participate, well, then you have to be stopped.

But the song goes on.

Yes, it all makes sense.

We may be freaks, but we, we're freaks with teeth, claws, and magic wands.

And together we can stand up to Farquad, never take it down, raise it up high.

We've got magic, we've got power.

Who are they to say we're wrong?

All the things that make us special, all the things that make make us strong, what makes us special, what makes us special, makes us strong.

Let your freak flag wave, never take it down, raise it up high, let your freak flag fly, fly, fly.

So if you are deemed in the society a freak,

Broadway would like you to know that what makes you strong is your freakiness.

That you are different than everyone else, that the majority doesn't rule.

Now, they don't live by that,

and they're trying to actually change the Constitution so the majority does rule.

But their songs, before they are banned, I'm sure, because that is a hateful, hateful song now,

is encouraging you, no matter what it is that makes you different,

to stand together because that's what makes you strong.

American financing.

Do you have a dream of buying a home, raising a family?

People said the American dream was over.

Well, that's not the American dream, but that is a nice dream to have.

It looked like the American dream, if that was your definition of it, was over in 2008.

But fast forward now, remarkable how we have already come full circle.

Federal Reserve has kept interest rates so low that most Americans can't afford to buy their own home now.

The sharks that helped create the mess in 08 are also back with a vengeance.

Zero down payments, programs, grants, all kinds of way to buy a home right now.

You need an advocate that can look at you and look at your whole history and what you want to do and find the right loan for you.

American Financing is the only company for mortgages that I have ever endorsed.

I don't like mortgage companies because they usually work for the bank.

They don't work for the bank to sell you a loan.

They work for you to make sure that they find the right loan that will serve your interest and your goals.

Might be a great time to buy a new house, might be a great time to refinance.

Find out for sure by getting free mortgage reviews right now.

Only will take you 10 minutes.

Just go to AmericanFinancing.net right now, AmericanFinancing.net, or call them at 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS 1-82334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

Looks like we have a good ruling that could possibly mean really good things for

the Redskins.

We'll get into that tomorrow.

There's more rulings coming down from the Supreme Court.

We're really looking forward to see what they have to say about the census, and we'll get to that as soon as it comes down.

Aaron Watson is coming up in just a second.

Also, don't forget that our museum opens up this Saturday, and we would really encourage you to come.

This is a very powerful pop-up museum.

It's 12-score and three years ago.

It is comparing America's past to where we are right now.

And if you've got a problem with the founders, oh, you might have a problem with yourself and others by the time you're finished.

12-score and three years ago,

very powerful museum, and we really, really want you to come and see this particular pop-up museum here here at my studios, and I'll be here for all of the tours.

I'd love to say hello, meet you and the family.

It's 12 scores three years ago, and you can get your tickets now at mercury1.org.

Mercury1.org, also get your fine-looking t-shirts and hats.

12 score three years ago.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

There are so many problems in our world today.

We're at each other's throats.

We're being told you can't do it.

We're being called racists and all kinds of names.

Is there a solution?

Yeah, it's actually pretty simple.

And it's coming from a surprising source, I think, whether he knows it or not.

And we'll talk to him next.

This is the Glenbeck program.

In 60 seconds.

But first, let me tell you about the USCCA.

We live in difficult times, and God forbid you ever have to use your gun.

But if you do, you need somebody there that is going to protect you now.

The people at the USCCA are the ones who are going to defend you once the shooting stops, but they also will help you.

They have a complete mass shooting survival guide and audio book.

If you want it, it's absolutely free.

I mean, I can't believe

Mr.

Aaron Watson is joining us now.

In case you don't know Aaron and you're a country music fan, where have you been?

Aaron Watson is the most successful independent artist, I think, of any genre.

of all time.

Definitely.

I like that.

I like this.

I'll go with that.

Yeah.

Is it just country or is it any?

I like just saying any genre.

That sounds so much better.

Doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

You could throw worldwide.

Yeah, worldwide.

Universal.

I don't know.

Yeah.

But I think you are.

Thank you.

I think you are.

It's good to see you.

Good to see you.

Thanks for having me.

You've been working hard getting this new CD ready.

It's called Red Bandana.

Yes, sir.

And I listened to all of it.

I called you, what, four weeks ago?

Yes.

Yeah, you released a couple of songs.

I used to be a program director of music stations

and

I was fairly good at picking hits.

I don't know if I could do that anymore, but I heard a song on this CD when you only replaced, you only released a couple.

I think it's called Kiss the Girl.

Kiss That Girl Goodbye.

Yeah.

I think it is a smash.

Thank you.

If people will play it on radio.

If they'll play it.

It's a smash.

Thank you.

Can we play just a little bit of uh kiss kiss that girl goodbye

well it's pretty much understood rainy days are just no good for lead van no need to mix and misery and jam

so it goes for icy days heartaching slick highways no time to wait you're gonna break if you bend and bend again but ain't fresh new start will warm your heart like the sun breaking through a cloudy sky.

If ever was a good day, it's today that boy and kissed that girl goodbye.

Just like a red-eyed flight, two jailins in the night.

You're gonna spread your wings and fly.

That boy kissed that girl goodbye.

Just like a westbound train, you're drinking cheap champagne.

Got no more tears to cry.

And you're long gone like a whisper in the wind.

That boy can kiss that girl goodbye.

That is, that is, that is the hook of the year.

I mean, that is amazing, great.

You know, my daughter, she's nine, and when she was listening to the album, I said, girl, what do you think the first single should be?

And she was like, um, kiss that girl goodbye.

So she was, and that girl.

She's right.

Oh, she's absolutely right.

You'll sing that all day.

I heard that the first time.

My wife and I were in the car driving, and we we must have played it six times.

I love it.

I love it.

It was just great.

You know,

I had so much fun making this album.

I really feel like, as a songwriter, I'm catching my stride.

I think so too.

And I poured my heart into all 20 of these songs.

Some of them are lighthearted, like that one right there.

That's lighthearted.

It's fun.

There is, may I just say, first of all, you're the first person to put 20 songs on a CD, all penned by you since Alan Jackson.

Alan Jackson, yeah.

Okay, so nobody does this.

This is,

I'm a fan of yours.

I listen to your albums.

I know you've been around forever, so I don't know necessarily all your old stuff, but I know your last four.

Yeah, this is different somehow.

This one's different, and I think better.

I think it's your best one.

Thank you.

But I noticed that there is, there's two, there's two sides to this.

Yeah.

One is

one is just fun.

Just fun.

Lots of fun stuff.

And others are really deeply feel personal and heartfelt, even a different sound in some ways.

Am I right on that?

You're right.

You're right.

What happened?

I think as I've gotten older, I'm more confident

letting people know that I don't have it all together.

And.

Can we go to a song?

Because you just said that.

Let me see.

It is Trying Like the Devil.

Yeah.

Let me just

play a little bit of this, and I want you to listen to the lyrics

because I think it's, I don't know what you were thinking,

but it's an interesting set of lyrics.

Well, that golden halo doesn't go so well with my red bandana and blue jeans.

God knows when I'm good, I'm good.

And when I'm good, it's seldom so it seems.

So they say fools play with fire.

I'm trying my best to not get burned

while I soak myself in gasoline.

One would think by now I might have learned, but I've never learned.

No, I'm not the man they think I am.

It weighs heavy on my heart and mind.

Yes, I stumble every step along the way, like a wino who can't wall the line.

It's like Todd Goat walking on a windy day, there's heaven in her eyes and hell to pay.

And I'm solid as rock and sink in sand, trying like a devil to be a good man.

So, what were you thinking when you're writing this?

Why did you

know the next verse goes,

So beware of broken glass,

should you stare into the window of my soul and judge me not.

I only bear it all.

So you know that you are not alone.

And I think everybody, my wife, she's amazing.

She's the closest thing to perfect that I know.

She never gets mad.

I've never heard her say.

One harsh word.

You've never loaded the dishwasher then?

Well,

because every time I load the dishwasher, I get a harsh word.

That's not the way

you don't put this on the bottom and you don't put this on the top.

Yes, that, okay,

excluding that.

All right, okay.

I thought that was just assumed with every male.

All right, good.

I thought so too, but I thought maybe she was the freak.

Yeah, yeah.

The unicorn.

The unicorn.

Right.

I wanted to write a song.

I don't know if I was

feeling depressed.

I don't know if I was tired,

but

I'm very much.

I like to write how I feel.

And I've always been like that, but I've only shared usually the positive moments on albums.

And I think that's in some ways taken the heart out of some of my earlier albums.

This song, Trying Like the Devil.

There was a local boy who committed suicide.

He was one week away from becoming an Eagle Scout.

And

everyone just said they never knew that this boy was experiencing such

pain.

And his dad put something on Facebook that just said, I wish people would be more open and honest about their struggles.

I wish celebrities and singers would

be more honest on social media, not just put forth this fake, perfect

imagery, you know, and I wrote that song because I was like, you you know what?

People need to understand that, like,

I try

to be a good husband and I try to be a good dad, but I fall short.

But I keep trying.

And I think that's the biggest thing: you've got to keep trying.

And I put this song out, and then

two weeks ago, we played the Grand O'Opry, and

a soldier

and his wife came to see me play, and he said he struggled with PTSD, and he has had,

he said, I have suicidal tendencies, is what he said.

And he said, this song, Trying Like the Devil, I listen to it every morning, and it gets me in the right frame of mind that, like, it's okay.

I'm not alone in this.

Because I think that's what, I think we all want to be viewed as something spectacular, and we all want to, we want everyone to know that we have it all together.

But I think, but we don't.

And I think being honest and going, you know what?

I don't have it all together.

You know, when people are like, you know,

you're, Aaron, you're a Christian.

You have it all together.

I go, first of all, I am so messed up that I need Jesus more than most.

So let's just set, let's set the bar really low for me.

But I poured my heart into this record.

And there's, there's lighthearted moments, but then there's moments where it's like.

I need to be honest with my fans.

I need to share my heart with them.

They deserve that.

They deserve something that's real.

If it's truly going to be music with meaning, then it needs to be the whole heart.

So, I want to get to another song.

And

I've never heard a one-minute song.

It's less than one-minute.

Yes.

Can you play?

And I'll get the explanation from you here, but he has a song that is 58 seconds.

It's called 58.

Yeah.

And

I want to play that for you and have you explain it.

Okay.

In one minute, standby.

So

I drove across the country in the last couple of weeks, and fortunately, I have a good car with a good car seat in it, and so I could adjust it to my back.

Until yesterday, I had two flat tires about six hours out, and I had to rent a car, and all they had was a Kia.

10 seconds, station ID.

We're back with

Aaron Watson.

Do you want to explain this song first or play it first?

I'll explain it.

The song's called 58, and it's a tribute to the 58 men and women that were killed at the Route 91 festival in Las Vegas a few years back.

We played that festival the year before the shooting, and

I was home that night, that Sunday, when I heard about the shooting, and I had friends there, and

just heartbreaking.

And then a few months later, we played National Finals Rodeo back in Vegas, and

some of the people who had been injured came out to my show.

And of course, you and I have talked about this.

I have that song, Blue Bonnets, that I wrote about my daughter, Julia, that my wife and I lost.

And this person who had been injured at the festival, who also lost a friend there,

she said,

your song, Blue Bonnets, has really helped me.

She goes, I really wish you would write a song for the victims and their families.

And I said, Okay.

And I thought about, like, gosh, how do you write a song like that?

But then the next day, I woke up with some, with an idea of this, this song that could be called 58, that would be short,

meaningful, and only be 58 seconds long.

Just, I wanted to end the record letting those people, those families know that, like,

we still remember them, we're still thinking about them.

Listen to this: 58 seconds long.

It's called 58:

58

lost their lives,

mothers and fathers,

husbands, and wives.

58,

every daughter and son Left a long trail of tears

along 91

58

got wings way too soon

Waltzing across

the stars and the moon

58

angels singing along

Forever missed

this is your song

Your album is the album, by the way, is Red Bandana, and his name is Aaron Watson.

And it is, it's, it's a great,

if you like Aaron Watson, this is the best he's done, I think.

Thank you.

And

we're having him on because radio

doesn't play Aaron Watson very often because

he doesn't have a record label.

And so he's kind of the guy who wouldn't change, wouldn't wear the skinny jeans, and wouldn't sing the songs that somebody else wrote.

He said, No, I'd rather just play in a, I'd rather play in a honky-tonk someplace than get rich and get famous playing somebody else's songs.

And you kind of address this in the song Dark Horses, which you've addressed before, but it's different.

This time it's not about you.

Well, you had a big influence on the direction of this album.

And I've told you a little bit about this.

This is

Well, we had dinner.

We had dinner and I had told you about what I was thinking.

And you said, Aaron, I get it.

You're the underdog.

You're an unsigned artist.

You're independent.

You know, because I'm independent, it's difficult for me to get played on mainstream radio.

Now, we've had some top 40 hits, but it is, it is difficult.

You know, we don't get nominated for awards because I'm independent.

It just is what it is, and I'm okay with that.

So there is that underdog mentality that I always kind of have to embrace.

But you said, listen, you've charted albums number one.

You've done things that have never been done before.

You know,

you are, you are the, you said, I think you said

you are like the people's champ.

You're showing them that

despite the industry telling you you can't, you're proving them wrong.

And you were like, you need to write songs that inspire these people, that don't talk about how difficult it is for you.

You're living the dream.

You're defying gravity.

Show these people, inspire these people.

That's why they support you is because they believe in you.

I have no recollection of saying that.

I might have been hammered,

even though I'm an alcoholic.

I don't remember saying that, but

I will tell you, when I heard Dark Horses, I cheered because I thought

this is a kind of song that everybody needs to hear.

The lyrics.

This is the one we're kicking off the show to, the new show.

This is like, this song goes out to everyone who's dreaming.

It's like, get out there, work your butt off, earn it.

Don't give up.

You know what?

Get ready.

They're going to tell you you're not good enough.

Get ready.

You may not get into the college you want.

You may not get this that you want right off the bat.

Whatever your dream is, you need to get ready because it's not going to be easy.

Get ready and get out there and work hard.

Listen to Dark Horse.

Everybody counts you out long before you start that race.

You can let them place their bets, let them laugh and drink their wine.

Let them eat eat their words when you're first to the finish line.

There's your day in the sun, you're rolling like a young gun.

Now it's your time to ride.

Let your dark horse run, they can't measure your heart.

They can't tear you apart.

You're finally catching your stride.

Let your dark horse run through the fire

by the wire.

You're a runway train, there's no turning back.

This one goes out to the girls, who'll show the world you can.

Never let them hold you back just because you aren't a man.

This one goes out to those underdogs who aren't afraid to bite.

Change a game, break the chain, get off that porch and fight.

Now it's your time to ride.

Let your dark horse run.

They can't measure your heart, they can't tear you apart.

You're finally catching your stride.

Let your dark horse run through the fire

by the wire.

You're a runaway train, there's no turning back.

Let your dark horse run.

This is from the

new CD that is out.

It is called Red Bandana by Aaron Watson.

It is, I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way, but there are albums that I will always associate with summer.

Yeah.

There are things that I will always associate with summer when you had the windows down and you've got the stereo cranked and you're just singing at the top of your lungs because no one can hear you.

Yeah.

That's this kind of album.

Man,

that is a a great compliment.

I wanted this to be something that people could enjoy.

It's cinematic.

It is

crazy.

I thought that.

I did crazy things like I recorded my grandmother's wind chimes.

I recorded the train that passes by the ranch.

I recorded my dad's AM Fuzz radio.

Hang on.

More on that when we come back.

This is the Glenbeck program.

You should,

Aaron, you should send your wife on this cruise.

We don't want you to go, but that sounds fun.

Yeah, you should go to the cruise with us.

It is going to be a blast.

When is it?

It's next spring.

Okay.

And we're going to Israel.

Have you been to Israel?

I have never.

Oh, you have to go.

I would love to.

We're going with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, who is incredible on what you learn about the Old Testament.

Oh, that's amazing.

And so we're going to walk the

Holy Land.

And then Bill O'Reilly is going to join us there.

We're going to do a couple of shows.

That's cool.

And then

a couple of other places.

We're going to Athens.

We're going to Venice.

I mean, it's going to be really cool.

I'm going to have to.

You should come.

We're with Aaron Watson.

And Aaron is a

Aaron has had how many number ones?

Oh, gosh.

Lots.

So many, I can't even count.

Your last.

I was being smart, Alec, to all the listeners.

No, I know.

Your last

CD,

Vaccaro, right?

Vaccaro was the top, the most downloaded album.

The one before that, it came in at number two,

just behind behind

another band that had basically the song of the year.

And then the record before that, underdog, became the first independent album in the history of country music to chart number one,

which is just a testament to the fans.

God's blessed me with the best fans.

And let me just tell you, your fans are amazing.

If I texted you every time I'm at a show, after a show, in the merch line, I always hang out afterwards.

If I texted you, and usually it's like at 12.30 at night, 1 o'clock in the morning, every time someone is like, you know,

I had never heard of you, but I heard you on Glenn's show and we became fans, you would be so annoyed with me texting you every night.

It's amazing.

They are great fans.

Your fans and my fans, I think, are exactly alike.

They're exactly the same.

They love our independence.

They love the fact that major record labels tell me that I'm not good enough, but yet I don't give up and I keep, you know,

for me, music's not an industry.

It's just a family business.

Like, literally, I say this jokingly, but I tell people one of my sales pitches, I'm like, listen, all the proceeds from this album down to the very last penny, all the proceeds go straight into my wife's purse.

And I say that jokingly, but it's true.

It's like, I've never been paid a penny from my record sales, but mama is doing good, and she takes great care of our babies.

Right.

See, but I've been following you on Instagram.

Your kids.

Yeah.

You got all these.

You signed them.

You signed out.

I don't know how many.

And you had to unwrap.

Yeah, the kids helped me.

And let me tell you, I'll tell you where the work ethic comes from because

your listeners will love this.

I was about 11 years old.

My dad's a disabled veteran.

He was injured in Vietnam.

And growing up, dad's a custodian.

It wasn't the coolest job, right?

All my buddies

were going swimming one day.

I said, Dad, I'd like to go swimming.

And Dad said, I need your help cleaning the church today.

And Glenn, I complained non-stop.

I was in the stall with my dad in a toilet stall.

I'm cleaning.

I've got the yellow gloves on.

I'm scrubbing this toilet.

My dad's in the stall next to me.

He's cleaning.

And I'm just complaining.

Dad, I didn't want to do this.

I hate cleaning toilets.

My buddies are swimming.

I hate this.

My sweet daddy comes around

the stall and he says, Hey, he goes, Do you think when I was was your age that I wanted to grow up to become a custodian?

And it got real quiet.

He said, but I got hurt in the war and life turned out differently than I thought it was going to.

He said, but here's the deal.

He said, God has blessed me with this job.

And because of this job, I can take care of you, your sister, and your mama.

He said, so you can bet.

That these are going to be the cleanest toilets in town.

And that's how I show my thanks for this job that I've been blessed with.

And I'm trying to teach that to my kids now with this record,

with my business.

They help me unwrap CDs.

We sign them.

We box them.

We ship them out.

We mail them.

And I've had to tell them that story about dad, about their granddad.

Like, listen, granddad was cleaning toilets.

I didn't want to help him out.

But cleaning toilets with my dad is those are some of my greatest memories.

It made me who I am today.

It's called whatever you do,

you need to take pride in it.

And I love that my dad said, you can bet

that I'm going to show my appreciation for God blessing me with this job by making these the cleanest toilets in town.

I love that.

It's almost the Martin Luther King street sweeper quote where he said to the streets, where Martin Luther said to the street sweeper, clean those streets and make them so clean that if Jesus walks down those streets, he says, man, there was one great street sweeper.

You know, it's like, put pride in your work, give it your best effort.

You have a song.

Is this really about your mom and dad?

Country radio.

Country radio?

It is.

My mom,

it's been a year ago.

We were talking about things that happened growing up and my dad's disabilities.

And

she said, she looked at me and she said,

I hope

that I gave you a good raising.

She goes, I hope that growing up in our house was good for you.

And I said, Mom,

it was amazing.

I go, I know we had some hard times.

I go, I know that you and dad weren't perfect and that you argued and there were fights and there were ups and downs.

I go, but Mama, I don't remember those times.

There was always love.

I go, Mom, I remember not the fights.

I remember us all making up, hugging and crying and getting getting through the hard times.

And I just wanted to write a song from a child's perspective, a child's point of view.

Children are amazing.

They're so forgiving.

They don't hold grudges like adults.

They are,

they truly have that heart of God.

It hasn't been corrupted by the world yet.

I wanted to write a song from a child's perspective about my mom and dad and remember seeing them be in love and how that impacted me today.

And it's a song called Country Radio, and I get to sing this song to my mom tomorrow night on the Grando Opry.

I'm not going to make eye contact with her or I'm gonna lose it.

I mean, but I'm excited about mom being at the show.

But, um,

here it is:

they would put me in bed,

tug me in tight, say my prayers, kiss my head, make me feel safe at night.

Walking out, holding hands, barely crack my door.

Turn the Aubrey on and waltz across the floor.

I'd sneak over to the lights and I'd take a peek.

They kept dancing all night, even if the signal got weak.

I can still see on boo

silhouette swaying across the wall.

No, we didn't have much.

Then again,

we had it all.

They made that little house a home for the heart and soul.

Just like a love song on country radio.

They could sing them all to part harmony too.

Like Loretta and Conway,

Johnny and June.

I could hear mama laughing as daddy swept her off her feet.

You know the sound of love has never sounded so sweet.

And 30 years later, I've got three kids in my wife.

Mirror Love Songs and Legacy, the soundtrack of my life.

I can still see your blue

silhouette swaying across the wall.

Ooh,

no, we didn't have much.

Then again,

we had it all.

It's amazing how, because I think a lot of us grew up the same.

Yeah.

We weren't poor, okay?

But we weren't rich and we didn't have an awful lot, but we never felt poor.

Yeah.

I never felt like I didn't have anything.

Right.

Like I always felt like I had everything I needed.

Yeah.

I mean, don't get it.

I mean, I don't know about you were maybe better than I was.

Don't get me wrong.

There was not stuff.

There was stuff that I didn't have or didn't get for Christmas.

And, you know, we didn't have the latest toy or the latest whatever.

So there were times you were like,

but we never felt poor.

Yeah.

But reflecting now, when you look back and go, you know, okay, well, maybe I'd never had the newest Michael Jordans or whatever the kids were wearing,

but it's like, those aren't the things that I like to relish on now.

Like, I don't think it's like, oh, man, it's like, you know, it's like I told mom, I said, mom, you gave me the best upbringing, mama, you know, and my dad, yes, you know what?

It's like,

I have a such a great amount of respect for my father years later, knowing that, you know, what

being a custodian, cleaning those toilets, it wasn't the most popular sought-after job.

Yeah.

But he did it.

He did it so that he could take care of me, my mom, and my sister.

It's amazing.

And that is probably why you're a success today.

Without a doubt.

Because you weren't willing to sell your soul.

Yeah.

Even though radio doesn't play you.

A lot of people think radio just plays the hits.

Well, no, not necessarily.

Yeah.

They'll sometimes, many times, play the selection that the record companies are giving them.

Yeah.

And so they don't necessarily go for an independent no,

there's some politics involved.

And we love radio and we get a lot of support from a lot of people in radio.

It's those rebels that are willing to take a chance on a guy like me.

And I tell them, I'm like, guys, we're charting albums top 10, charting albums number one.

We're selling out shows across the nation.

I have a brand of music you can depend on.

Like, I'm not here today, gone tomorrow.

It's like, I jokingly say this, but like, my goal, I'm, my goal every month is to pay off my wife's credit card bill.

And when I say that, I mean my goal is to continue taking care of my family.

So she is not, I mean, well, I love your wife.

She is down to earth.

She's such a

rock star mom.

Yeah.

She's got like 100,000 followers on Instagram.

And it's like they, people like me because they love her, and I'm cool with that.

Yeah.

um,

it, it's, it's just

one of those things that I'll tell you, I'll brag on you and your fans and your listeners is that when we came in here with Vaquero two years ago, it was sitting at around number seven or eight on the iTunes chart and on the Amazon chart.

After you told your listeners to go buy this album and support independent music, it went straight number one for the rest of the week.

I mean,

I told you on the phone the other day, I was like, listen, you really, really moved the needle for us.

And you're like, oh, don't you, no, I didn't.

I'm like,

and I said, Glenn, I wish I could tell you that I tell everyone that, but you're the only, you're, you're the guy who has given us so much support.

And it's crazy how my music

really appeals to your listeners.

It is honestly like it was written for my listener.

I love your listeners.

I love them coming to my shows.

It's just, it's good.

And can we just talk about it?

Play it in the background, please.

Let me see, which song was it?

I don't have the list.

Here it is.

I think it was

Old Friend.

Old Friend.

Play a little bit of Old Friend and tell me about this as it's playing.

Go ahead.

So I wrote this song.

So there was the Route 91 shooting.

Yes.

And then the next, and everybody was so political and people were going at each other's throats about gun control, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The next day, Tom Petty dies.

And there were two guys on Facebook that were going after each other's throats.

The next day, when Tom Petty died, those same two guys that were going after each other's throats were posting the same thing about how much Tom Petty's music meant to them.

And I thought to myself,

music.

Hang on, play a little bit.

When you hit the road again,

you'll always treat every stranger.

So you have

left wing, right wing, it takes both wings for fight.

Can't you hear the children singing red yellow black and white so stop your fighting start uniting sing a sing along i think we all agree we love a tom petty song yeah it's like left wing or right wing it takes both wings for flight can't you hear the children singing red and yellow black and white stop your fight and start uniting you know it's like it's it's that message of like

uh

be kind to be kind yeah it's like do unto others as you'd have them do unto you

It's be nice, folks.

It's like I have, you know,

it's one of those things.

I called myself the hip, I'm the hypocrite poster boy, perfect and imperfection.

Right.

You know, and it's just like,

it's a song where it's like, be nice to others.

The name of the album is Red Bandana Aaron Watson is the artist's name.

Even if you don't like country music, I would ask that you would buy this and give it to somebody who does like country music

because this guy works his butt off, wrote all of these songs.

He charts at number one, but radio ignores him because he is a rebel and says, I want to do it my way.

So he needs, I mean, he literally has sold his CDs out of the trunk of his car for years.

He has worked really hard.

Send a message that, you know, play the hits.

Play the hits.

uh buy his uh new cd you will love it it's the best he's done it's called red bandana aaron watson aaron thank you thank you bro
