Steering Them Into Belief? | 6/11/19

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenbeck program.

So glad that you've joined us today.

Boy, we've got a lot to talk about.

The radicals are becoming so incredibly radical that the left better wake up.

I should say the Democrats better wake up because they are coming for you now.

Ocasio-Cortez looks like she's going to run for Chuck Schumer's seat.

Oh, I bet that makes him happy.

Oh, I bet he's thrilled about that.

We'll have that and

a little talk about the latest in abortion.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, oh, it has.

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, let me tell you a little bit about our sponsor this half hour.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

You can trust them with your biggest investment.

That is what your house is.

It's your biggest investment.

And we just look for a real estate agent, somebody who is going to handle that transaction, you know, by what?

By asking friends.

Hey, you know anybody?

Yeah, I got a cousin who just started.

No, no, that's not the way you handle your biggest investment.

You interview, you get the right person.

Now, we've done a lot of this work for you.

We still want you to do your own homework, but we have found the best real estate agents all across the country.

Hopefully, we have one right in your area that is the best at what they do.

Now, we know this is the best because many of these guys outsell all other agents combined in your area.

That means they have a system.

And I don't mean like, hey, Vido's got a system, it's unbeatable.

What I mean is they know how to price the house, they know how to advertise the house, they know how to close on a house.

If you're looking to buy or sell, we have realestate agentsitrust.com.

Go there now and find the right real estate agent for you: realestate agentsitrust.com.

Now I speak my mind,

there's no need for lies.

You soon be the time

who thought it was better

to just play nines.

Now,

I want to ask you a question.

In Georgia,

why are police looking into this at all?

In Georgia,

authorities are looking for a mother of a baby just a few hours old

that was found wrapped in a plastic bag in the woods.

Why?

Why are we looking for her?

To make sure she's okay?

Are we looking for her because we want to congratulate her on making such a brave choice?

A man came home with his daughters.

They were unloading grocery bags from their car at 10 o'clock.

They heard a sound in the woods.

At first they just thought they heard an animal in distress.

But that's not what they heard.

They followed the sound just to see what was going on, and instead of an animal in distress, they realized

that it was a human animal in distress.

It was a human baby.

We went down.

We pulled this sack up, and there was a quote, poor little baby wrapped in a plastic bag we called 911

she was alive she was crying and we figured that was a good sign

the man credited his daughters with saving the little girl and acknowledged that it could have been much much worse

in a news conference on friday the sheriff said it was divine intervention

boy is that sheriff out of touch he believes in God.

He's talking about God?

I bet he's one of these guys who's like, thoughts and prayers to the baby.

Georgia has what's known as a safe haven law, which permits the mother of the child to drop her baby off at a hospital, police, or fire station until the baby is seven days old without fear of any prosecution.

But maybe, maybe mom didn't know.

Maybe there's not enough government programs out there that alerted her to this law.

Maybe mom did know, but she didn't really care because, I mean, it's not really a baby.

She didn't have the money, even though it's, you know, now federally funded.

Maybe she didn't have the money.

She didn't have the access.

Maybe she was too embarrassed.

Maybe she changed her mind at the last minute.

When do we stop calling this a fetus?

And when do we declare that it's a baby?

Five minutes, two hours.

We don't even know how old it was when mom dropped the baby off.

It might have, she might have had the plastic bag ready to go.

As soon as she had the baby, she wrapped it up and then walked out into the woods some way

and deposited the baby.

The fetus.

The thing.

The baby, by the way, is in stable condition.

Now,

you think that I'm being sarcastic on all of this,

but all of these things are actual questions that we need to answer now.

How radical is leftist feminism at this point?

How radical has it become?

Well, a radical feminist, her name is Sophie Lewis,

now describes pregnancy as gestational work

and an abortion as an acceptable violence, a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.

Well, at least we're now talking about killing.

At least she's brought that word up into play.

We're facing a terrible attack on abortion.

She says the strategies that have been used on the left

have tended to

include the kind of seeding ground, quote, on

with her enemies.

We tend to say that abortion is indeed very bad, but luckily it's not not killing.

Luckily, it's just a health care right.

We have very little to lose at the moment when it comes to abortion, and I'm interested in winning radically, she writes.

I wonder if we could think about defending abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work.

Abortion is, in my opinion, and I recognize how controversial this is, a form of killing.

It is a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.

I'm not interested in where human life starts to exist.

I see the forms of making and unmaking each other as continuous processes.

The other end of the spectrum is learning how to die well and hold each other and let each other go at the end of our lives.

Now it's just at the beginning as well.

But looking at the biology helps me think about the violence that innocently a fetus meets out vis-a-vis a gestator.

The violence is an unacceptable violence for someone who doesn't want to do the gestational work.

The violence that the gestator meets

is essentially just going on strike

or exit that workplace.

And that's acceptable violence.

In a recent interview, this

summarized by a reporter,

in the

Nation, a very liberal magazine,

says that she specifically links family abolition

to a radical reconceptualization of pregnancy itself.

The act of carrying a child to term, she insists, is work,

labor that has long been exploited and overlooked by the academy, and so is mothering.

Boy, I want to have a baby with her.

What a good mom she would make.

Meanwhile, the radicalization of abortion continues.

CEOs from 180 companies including Twitter, HM,

Slack,

Postmates, Yelp, Tinder,

Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream

have signed a letter that says it's time for companies to stand up for reproductive health care.

Restricting abortion is bad for business,

though the letter doesn't make any real connection between the availability of abortion and the business climate of a particular state, instead they claim restricting reproductive freedom is against our values.

States that threaten abortion threaten the health, independence, economic stability of our employees and customers.

Equality in the workplace is one of the most important business issues of our time.

When everyone is empowered to succeed, our companies, our communities, and our economy are better for it.

So, wait, restricting abortion is somehow or another restricting your ability to succeed?

Restricting access to comprehensive

reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers.

Simply put, it goes against our values and it is bad for business.

What a surprise.

This is coming from Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.

And because now the ACLU is involved, and we know that the chairman of Joe Biden's campaign

was the exiting president of the ACLU that has transformed the ACLU into

a street riot gang.

We're going to be seeing protests on the street for this.

We are going to see the left

rise up against any of these states.

May I just suggest?

Good.

Good.

At least they're admitting that it's killing.

At least they're admitting now that it's all about business.

Because that's all that Planned Parenthood is.

Abortion restrictions, they are bad for business if you're planned parenthood.

Now, on the other side,

without any

sense

of shame or irony,

New York,

which is allowing abortion up to the last five minutes of

birth and possibly even after,

they've just passed a new law that

says you can't declaw your cat.

Now, you might have heard this story before because it came out over the weekend, but let me kind of go into how the New York Times

talked about declawing your cat.

Without any sense of, wow, maybe we have things upside down.

Without any of that,

let me describe what the New York Times did this weekend, and I'll go there next.

We're going to break for one minute here to tell you about Relief Factor.

If you're in pain, the best thing you can do is take a three-week quick start of Relief Factor.

Now, this is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

You take these, you take, I think it's three or four pills.

I don't know.

I jam them in my mouth.

I take them every single day, and

you remarkably will feel better.

And I should say, on all honesty, only 70%

of those who take it feel better.

I did not think I would be one of those people.

I am.

I've been taking it every day.

for 18 months, and I feel dramatically better.

ReliefFactor.com.

Try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work, you're out $20.

True.

If it does work, you get your life back.

Feel better.

Be able to do the things you want to do.

Try it for three weeks.

Call 800-500-8384.

800-500-8384 or click on Relief Factor.com.

We pause for 10 seconds, station ID.

Okay,

if you remember right, Twitter just told Abby Johnson

and I think Lila Rose that they cannot, they can't, they can't advertise on Twitter, they can't promote on Twitter, and the reason why is because they

what abortion procedures are like you know they'll have little drawings of you might have seen them last couple of weeks people are are

you know doing

clinical

drawings of what happens in an abortion procedure they're not graphic they're just true

And the social media has come out and said, you can't share that.

In fact, Twitter has come out and said it's so offensive that you have to remove it from your own website if you would like us to consider doing anything with you.

So wait, so wait, they're not allowed to talk about abortion.

They're not allowed to show sonograms.

And they're also not allowed to talk about Planned Parenthood.

But other than that, these pro-life groups, they can use Twitter all they want.

They just have to remove that from their website and from all their tweets.

So it is apparently too

jarring

to see

what happens with cats.

Or, I mean, with

people.

But

you can have that drawing.

with cats in the New York Times.

You can explain the procedure on cats, on what they do to declaw,

but we dare not even discuss what happens to humans

if you try to kill it.

They went into great detail about what happens with cats and

how the cats are declawed and

what that means to the poor cats.

And it's all for, of course, our vanity.

It's because we put our furniture over cats.

It's kind of like how we put our careers over babies.

Which one is more grotesque?

We love our cats.

I don't.

I hate cats.

But many people, strangely, find something attractive about cats.

And so, yeah, they don't want them destroying the house.

Well, I don't want my dog destroying the house either.

That's why he goes outside.

That's why I teach him not to chew on things.

I can't help it that cats are just too stupid.

So you

just, I just do this.

I just do this for the people who actually get the email the first in line.

John Bull, right now, he's a guy that goes through all the email.

And he's every time I start in on cats, he's like, oh, dear God, Glenn, don't, please.

You're wrecking my whole day.

I'm going to hear nothing but cat stuff.

Yeah, well, it's true.

They're stupid and I hate cats.

And you're right, John?

My understanding is that you're actually for declawing just for the torture.

You don't even care about the furniture or anything like that.

You just want to declaw these cats because you hate them.

Yeah, I'd like to just pick them up in the wild,

you know, and then send them back out.

I love that because it's you can say that, and people will be legitimately offended by it.

But you can talk about a third trimester abortion, and you'll get an entire political party that will have absolutely no problem about it a minute before birth or maybe after.

That's a standard that perhaps we should reconsider.

It doesn't seem morally consistent.

Well,

it is so outrageously radicalized now, Stu, that you can't do an anti-Hitler painting on eBay.

an anti-Hitler propaganda poster

and

have it actually exist on eBay.

This is the second time they've taken my painting down, my 10-hour meme, where it's an anti-Hitler poster.

Hitler didn't look like that.

That's the way in all of his propaganda,

the Jews were made to be seen.

And it says, as he's reading 50 million killed, next time I should just call it Planned Parenthood, you know, as opposed to the final solution.

That way, if I really want to dumb it down for people at eBay and Twitter and Facebook,

that way he could get away with it, you see.

So that's pro-Hitler propaganda is basically what you're saying there?

That's pro-Nazi propaganda.

No, it's anti.

And we got a letter in from

eBay.

And they said that we realize there's historical significance of World War II

and there's many military collectors around the world and some World War II related historical items are allowed but this one isn't

this is not about World War II

this is about the world war that we're in right now to save freedom freedom of speech and freedom of life you're listening to Glenn Beck

So, how can I help you?

Uh, ma'am, there's a man in your house.

A man?

No, ma'am, ma'am, uh, look, we're watching him on the video camera.

Welcome to the program.

It's Glenn Beck.

Stu Bergeer is back from a couple of days off, and Mr.

Pat Gray joins us.

Hello, Pat.

Hello, Glenn.

Stu?

Welcome back, Mr.

Gray.

Hey, this is kind of cool because after complaining about some of the incomprehensible decisions by the Radio Hall of Fame, like last year, for instance, just I'll give you an example.

The fabulous sports babe was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last year.

Now, good for her.

Yeah, that's great.

There's nothing wrong with the fabulous sports babe.

She's played a big role in this industry.

She's played a huge.

Well, yes.

Yes.

But other people have, too.

Sports.

You You know,

I mean, here's the thing about Glenn Beck, for instance.

You're not fabulous.

You don't know anything about sports.

And you're certainly not a babe.

But now.

Transitioning.

But now you have indeed been

nominated for the rock and roll, for the radio hall of fame.

Congratulations, Hall of Fame.

Congratulations.

Big deal.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you very much.

You wouldn't have been anywhere near here without Pat or myself.

Exactly.

i'm only hoping i'm only hoping that i win seriously because don imas is still alive and i want him to induct me wouldn't that be cool is he really still alive not

he is

strangely still alive that's incredible not literally you mean his legend is still

no no he is he's actually still alive no yes and i he sent me and and now try not to imagine this okay but he sent me a picture of

the family on a beach in Mexico.

And all I can see is that

was Don

without a shirt in Mexico.

No, honey.

And I thought, maybe this is why everyone's fleeing for our border.

You may be onto something there.

You might be.

Yeah, yeah.

So

you've been nominated in the category of active network network syndication 10 years or more.

And

I think the audience votes on this.

No, they don't.

No, they don't.

No, they don't.

Really?

No.

You sure?

No, they have a special category every year that they select a few people and they can vote.

This one is going to the academy.

This is going to like

900 people.

Okay, that hurts.

That hurts your chances.

Everyone in the industry hates you.

So

the nasty hatred might get in the way.

I do get that impression.

I don't know why.

I don't know.

I really don't know why.

And we all do.

The rest of us do.

We understand it fully.

Why?

Why?

Why?

I don't know what I've done.

The ongoing way you've acted over a very long period of time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, no, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

I agree with that,

you know, 25 years ago.

I don't agree with that today.

Very nice.

That's interesting.

Yeah, that that is a lot of people.

Isn't that interesting?

That's an interesting thing.

That's interesting.

You know what?

That tank brings introspect from us.

Also, nominated in your case.

So hang on just a second.

So I don't, it's not like I, I mean, I don't go to all the cool kid parties.

Yeah.

So I don't, I don't, it's like, I don't, I don't, I'm going to go.

Go makes it sound like you're invited and chose not to go.

That's not the way I would phrase it.

I mean, that's.

This is really.

You don't know about all the cool kid parties.

So

because they're not talking to you about them.

Exactly.

And I understand that nobody's ever in my entire life talked to me about cool kid parties.

I was seven and nobody wanted to invite me to the cool kid parties.

Well, any parties.

Even the non-cool kid parties I wasn't invited to.

The nerd kid parties you stayed home for.

So we agree, Glenn, is what you're saying.

That

no one likes him.

So we agree.

You're not going into the Radio Hall of Fame.

No, but the fact that you...

Yes, I will bet, if I were a betting man, I would bet not a chance.

This is the first nomination, though, right?

So at least you've gotten that.

You can say that now.

It is my first nomination.

He was once nominated for a coin.

It's kind of cool.

Who else is nominated?

Let's see.

George Nouri from Coast to Coast to M.

Sure.

I think he's going to win.

He will.

John Tesh Tesh for Intelligence for Your Life.

John Tesh is a really good guy.

That would be.

He's a good guy.

He's a really good guy.

Okay.

And people like him.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

If we're voting on people we like, doesn't that kind of violate the whole idea of the Radio Hall of Fame?

I mean, it's not like,

you know,

the thing in the Radio Hall of Fame is going to say, and

everybody really liked him.

Well, like, people hated

Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, right?

Yeah.

But their talent overwhelmed that dislike to get them into the baseball hall of the moment.

Let's not go any further up.

Let's see if let's not go any further up.

And the last nomination in your category is Kim Commando from the

Kim Commando show.

The computer.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So there you go.

There you go.

Never listen to Kim Commando.

I just know that she's been on forever.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She's a big computer help show.

Now, because of this other nomination that finally happened, I feel better about your nomination finally taking place.

Mark and Bryan were finally nominated.

Mark and Bryan should have been nominated a long time ago.

And Jack Harris.

Yes.

Yes.

Jack Harris.

Yeah, Jack Harris.

That's great.

He's not awesome.

See, you know what the thing about Jack Harris is, everyone loves Jack Harris, right?

Everybody.

Yes.

He's awesome.

Everybody loves him.

He always goes to the cool kid parties.

Yes.

Always.

He's the coolest kid in town.

There's no question about it.

He has been forever.

And then there's you.

There's a different story to be told about that particular nomination.

So if

George Norrie suddenly mysteriously wound up, you know, like washing on the shore

from some sort of boating accident or something,

would he still be able to be inducted in the Hall of Fame?

Well, yes, but it would be a different category, though, right?

Because he wouldn't be an active

active anymore.

It'd be long-standing

network syndication, I think.

I wouldn't go boating anywhere, George Norrie.

I'm just saying.

I'm just saying.

I don't think it's exclusionary.

I think you could actually both go in, you know, if you're both liked enough.

But, of course, that's not the case.

But it is possible.

It is possible to have.

Okay, so here is my guess.

My guess is George Norrie, and I'm not being humble here.

George Norrie.

John Tesh.

No.

No, you don't think so?

Kim Commando.

No, Kim Commando, then John Tesh.

Okay.

Then me.

Then you.

Because John Tesh is known for many other things, really, I would say, over-the-radio thing, although he's done that very successfully, too.

And then there's you.

You know?

You know, laugh it up.

Laugh it up.

Then there's Glenn.

Yeah.

So.

Laugh it up.

Yeah.

Clown.

So if you happen to be one of those 900 people,

vote John.

Don Imis is still alive.

Wouldn't you want to see Don Imos

do one last hair-raisingly mean speech compared to you?

And directed at you worth it.

That might be a good idea.

Directed at me.

Wouldn't that be worth it?

He'd be worth it.

Has he agreed to do this?

I mean, like, I understand that he would like to say a lot of mean questions.

That's a question you don't necessarily ask.

Because he doesn't really like you either.

So I don't know that he would

lower himself to show up.

Yeah.

So you're just not in a good position.

I think Don might do it.

He would probably do it on video

or

etch a message in rocks or something.

The audience could throw at me.

I'm not sure.

I do not think he has the strength to etch at this point.

That's not something Don is capable of.

No.

Yeah.

Well, but you know, the thing about

Don Imus is

there's a possibility that somebody is just acting as Don Imos and writing to me because

he's gotten very nice.

Oh, that's definitely not Don.

No, that's not him.

He's like nice and complimentary.

And

once in a while, I'll get, once in a while, I'll get just a note that just says,

you still fat?

Obviously,

he hasn't turned on his set in a while.

Know the answer to that question.

It's hard to turn on your set when you're under six feet of dirt.

Like it's difficult to watch television.

I don't think I want to get it.

But it's good.

No, I know.

Right.

But it is good, Pat, to just reveal your age by using the word set

when we're addressing TV.

I'm going to warm up the set.

Be careful who you're calling old.

All right.

Thanks so much, Pat.

I appreciate it.

No, no.

You listen to Pat.

Thank you.

No.

And I meant that sincerely.

I really appreciate it.

Yeah.

You listen to Pat Gray on some station or some podcast or something.

I don't know where.

Check your set for details.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour is Blinds.com.

Blinds.com is a great company that has been in business since, believe it or not, the 1990s online.

Now, imagine, remember when it remember when you had dial-up and it took you forever?

I remember the first time I tried to download a picture, and

no, it wasn't porn, and it was the first picture that I tried to download.

And I remember I started and I sat there for a while, maybe 10 minutes, just looking at it, coming in line by line.

And I think it was just green and it may have just been green and white at the time and um

and i said well i'm gonna let's check this after dinner see how far it's gotten and that was a miracle at the time

not really uh anymore but what is a miracle is when when i was doing that blinds.com was starting their online business Who was ordering blinds back then when you couldn't see them?

They had to be really good at service because it took a long time.

And so they had to make sure that they were really good at service.

They sent you everything in advance, let you look at the colors, let you look at, you know, the actual blind so they could send you the free sample.

They still do all of this, by the way.

And they've made it super easy.

You know,

Americans and and particular Democrats need to wake up to the fact that you are

seeing

the

destruction of the Democratic Party and you're watching it in real time.

And

you can deny it all you want,

but all you have to do is look for the evidence.

You know, Jim Acosta said, you know, you conservatives have to remember that you're not always going to be in power.

Yeah,

I know.

That's what I told you guys

under the Obama administration.

But even when we have power, it doesn't seem like we have power because all the power is shifting to radicals and Silicon Valley.

It's not even in Washington anymore.

So the Radicals.

Let me give you evidence.

Ocasio-Cortez is

being talked about as running against Chuck Schumer.

Now, that's the height of arrogance, and, you know, I hope it happens.

Now,

how happy do you think Chuck Schumer is about that news?

Here he is, the leader of the Senate, a liberal lion,

and somebody from his own state is trying to take him out, Ocasio-Cortez.

They are eating.

the Democratic Party.

And it's only going to get worse from here.

And

so when we say

freedom of speech, freedom of expression,

don't start

banning people.

Don't do it.

I say that for the left just as much for the right.

And I will tell you that I listened to Steven Crowder yesterday, and he was talking about

how he's getting a lot of response response on YouTube from people who don't agree with him.

And they're saying, hey, I'm in with you.

This is craziness, what's happening.

And I'll give you the details coming up in a second.

But I want you to know that there are several things that I'd like to ask you to do.

One of which is sign up for the Blaze.

We've never had a special like this before,

and it's because

we are really pretty desperate to make sure that we can get a hold of you.

We need to be able, right now,

the algorithms are changing, so our way of communicating to you

is being severely hampered.

So, we need to be able to have a way to contact you.

So, one of the ways is by subscribing to the Blaze.

And when you do that, you help us build a network of voices that will stand until the very last moment.

What I want you to do is go to blazetv.com/slash Glenn.

You're going to save $30 off of your subscription for the year.

So it's going to cost you $70 when it normally costs $100, or $99, it's going to cost you $69.

And I urge you to do that.

Now, there's a couple of other things that you can do, do,

and I really would ask that you would help us on this.

iTunes so far has been pretty good.

We're not putting all of our eggs in that basket.

That's why we lead with a subscription.

But we need you to subscribe.

It's free.

Go to iTunes, look for the Glenbeck podcast, subscribe, rate, and review.

The other thing is go to Glennbeck.com and subscribe to our newsletter.

It again is free.

Subscribe to the Blaze newsletter.

Again, it is free.

Even if you don't read it, it gives us your address and we'll be able to, in times of an emergency, times when we really need you to back us up, be able to contact you directly.

Please do

at least some of those things, the ones that are free, but I highly urge you to join theblazetv.com and preserve freedom of speech.

So there's a couple of things that we want to go over and it mainly revolves around the wording of things.

For instance, how does America really feel about abortion?

Stu and I have had a big problem with the way these abortion polls are taken because they're worded in such a way that people understand the ones who are writing them.

It will come out

more in their favor.

So, if you change the wording, how do the polls look for abortion?

We go there in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So,

I've been thinking about

next

summer

that

we need to do another big restoring event.

And it's kind of been breathing down my back.

And

it finally kind of all came together in my head

recently.

And we'll be talking about it as we get closer and we start to confirm some of the things that I want to do.

Make sure you have an open space to spend a few days with us next summer.

Now,

one of the things we're going to do is we're going to really teach the kinds of things that we're going to be restoring next summer.

We're going to teach that on this cruise.

So we're going on this cruise next spring, and I know not everybody can go, but if you have vacation time and you have the ability to swing it for this cruise, it's all inclusive, including the airfare, the hotels, everything is paid for.

And that's unusual.

That's not a trip to Disney World.

But Bill O'Reilly is going to be there.

Stu's going to be there.

David Barton will be there.

Rabbi Lapin will be there.

We'll be at sea with you, and we're going to go to Venice, which is the place that really funded the Renaissance.

A lot of the rebels lived in,

the rich rebels lived in Venice.

We're going to go to Athens, which is the birthplace of democracy and a republic.

What's the difference?

How did it work out?

What did the founders think about

when they debated and talked about Greece?

And then to the Holy Land.

We're going to Israel.

And that's the foundation of our faith.

So you're going to come back with a real understanding of the principles that built our country.

Share it with your whole family if you can.

It's going to be an amazing cruise.

Tickets are going really well and very fast.

There's going to be about 3,000 people who think just like you on this cruise through history.

Just go to come sailaway.com, learn more, find out all of the details.

It's come sailaway.com.

You know, the part of the plan with the left, I think, is to make you feel small and insignificant, that it there's nothing you can do about it, that it's over.

And it's a very small number of people.

And the way they do it is they manipulate language.

We know this through political correctness.

They can manipulate language to get you to go, well, yeah, I guess that's where I'm at.

But it's maybe not exactly where you're at, and it doesn't give a fair look at what people are actually feeling.

Stu's got some numbers.

He's looking at the abortion numbers and how Americans really feel about it with the traditional wording and with new language in the questions.

Yeah, I'm fascinated by this.

The big headline was 77% say the Supreme Court should uphold Roe versus Wade,

which is amazing considering that doesn't seem to be the split of Americans overall.

There's a pro-choice, pro-life

split that's been pretty stable at about 50-50.

For example, in February, they did a poll, are you pro-choice or are you pro-life?

It was 47 to 47.

Now, because it's turned into a bigger issue lately, that those polls have moved a little bit.

And this poll asked that same question.

Are you pro-choice or are you pro-life?

And it was 35% said pro-life.

57%

said pro-choice.

So just to set the kind of baseline of this poll, this is a group of people who were polled here that would be to the left of

what is considered normal in our debate.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Can I ask?

The left is looking at this debate.

They're not putting any stock into

what the Democrats are saying.

All they're doing is they're looking at what the Republicans are doing, which is, you know, quashing abortion in state after state after state.

And so it's being billed as, look,

we were fine with safe, legal, and rare, but boy, this Trump administration, all these Republicans, they just want to take away every single right on this.

Right.

So is it possible that they're not as far left, they just are buying into the Kool-Aid and drinking the Kool-Aid.

I think that is entirely it.

I mean, you see the polling very consistent over a long period of time of it being pretty split between people who consider themselves pro-life or pro-choice, depending on, I mean, it's always pretty close to 50-50.

35-57 is a really bad poll for pro-lifers.

And that's kind of where I, the reason why that's important is because they answer the other questions.

Remember, these are the same people.

answering the questions.

The people who say they're only 35% pro-life are answering all these other questions.

So this is not a conservative leaning poll.

I think that's important to set.

So the first thing you realize by going through these numbers is there is no reason to ever ask another group of people in a poll whether they think Roe versus Wage should be overturned because none of them know what it says.

It's just you, do you think unicorns should be able to hold jobs as accountants?

Like the same value in that question because

I, by the way, am against that.

They have hooves, not fingers.

How do they enter anything in a spreadsheet?

Well, I mean, obviously, we have voice dictation services.

We can get into that debate a little bit longer

at another time in the show.

You don't know if unicorns can talk.

You've never talked to one.

All right.

You're right.

You're right.

You're right.

But like, you know, Roe versus Wade basically says you can have an abortion in the first trimester.

In the second trimester, you start getting into certain restrictions.

In the third trimester, a state can pass any restrictions it wants, basically.

So,

you know, it's basically a first term of right to an abortion, if you want to put it that way.

There's a lot more detail to it than that.

But generally speaking, there's also an argument about viability in there.

But generally speaking, that's what it says.

You know, once it's a viable child, you can't, absolutely, states can restrict it.

They can say it's completely illegal in the third trimester.

And in the first trimester, they really can't say it's completely illegal.

That's kind of what, and that's why it's controversial, and that's why these laws that are being passed to restrict it more than the first trimester are going to go to the Supreme Court in theory, and that's going to be the big challenge.

That's why these things are going on.

So, with that being said, what do people actually think about abortion?

9% of people think it should never be legal.

9%, okay, under any circumstance whatsoever.

Another 9% say it should be life of the mother only, the only exception.

So, now you're at 18% say life

or more restrictive.

29% of people say it should only be allowed in the instance of rape, incest, and life of the mother.

Okay.

So now you're at.

That's how many?

29%.

So you're at 47%

of people who say

basically rape and incest and life, and that's it.

Or more restrictive than that.

So that's, again, if only 35% of these people consider themselves to be pro-choice, or excuse me, pro-life,

only

35% say that, but 47%

are

at the point where, let's say, George W.

Bush's position was rape, incest, life of the mother.

So, like, I mean, that's a pretty standard way of identifying pro-love.

Exactly.

My church is there.

That's where my church is.

Right.

And they would consider themselves pro-life.

And this is why this Roe versus Wade and pro-choice, pro-life thing doesn't make any sense.

For example, about a quarter of people who consider themselves to be pro-choice agree with the Mormon church's policy on abortion.

Think about that for a second.

These terms are completely misused in our society.

People who say, you know what, yeah, rape, incest, and life of the mother, a position absolutely associated with pro-lifers, not pro-choicers.

About a quarter of people who identify themselves as pro-choice think that should be the law.

Like, that is, it's completely misused.

Then there's another 23% who say it should be in the first trimester only.

And that's essentially the Roe versus Wade standard.

So people a lot of times will say, well, Roe versus Wade, that means you're essentially the Democratic Party.

Well, it's not at all, right?

I mean, you have now 20, you have 20, let's see, 32, 41, 61, 71,

70% of people basically saying, you know, Roe versus Wade is the way to go, which at this point is a massive move to the right.

People don't realize that.

They say they want to overturn Roe versus Wade.

Well, overturning Roe versus Wade

is, of course, something that I advocate for as a pro-lifer.

However, going back to

Roe versus Wade would also be something you can advocate for as a pro-lifer, because that is a move to the right from where we are and a massive one.

Another 11% saying the first two trimesters.

And then at the very end, you have what is essentially now the mainstream democratic position, which is you can have it anytime you want, right?

It's up to the mother.

That's a choice argument, a pure pro-choice argument.

And that is 18% of the population.

So think of the way these things are

tossed at you in the media.

It doesn't seem at all like only 18% of people believe the mainstream Democratic Party view.

It seems like something.

I don't believe it is 18%.

I don't believe it is 18%.

You think it's lower than that or higher?

Lower.

Come on.

18% of Americans, 20% of Americans believe we should be able to kill a baby five minutes from birth?

I mean, that's really the only,

you know, you can argue this, but

I think it's the most consistent position, right?

Like, if you're a, if you're life, if you're saying pro-choice, you are saying the mother has a right to choose essentially when that becomes a being, which is a completely

ridiculous standard, obviously, because then we can give the mother the right to choose that when the kid is seven, too.

It doesn't make any sense.

If you're about choice, why are you restricting it to birth?

The woman that I just said was in Atlanta that they're searching for, the mother who had a baby, wrapped it in a garbage bag, and then took it out into the woods.

It was just a few hours old when they found the baby.

She might have done it right after birth.

Why are we searching for her?

to say, oh, good for you.

Celebrate your choice.

Yeah, it's a very, very similar.

Because what's the difference?

Yeah, very similar to what Governor Northam said, which was basically the mother and the doctor should be able to choose whether they want to give life-saving treatment to the baby.

So why bother?

If the mother obviously chose that she did not want the baby to receive life-saving treatment, so why give it to her?

So let me give you some of these, a couple of other things here in this, because this is, I mean, it's really fascinating.

Specifics.

Pro-life or pro-choice,

you need to have an ultrasound before you have an abortion.

Would you consider that to be a pro-life or pro-choice view?

I would say that is a pro-life view.

Pro-life view, right?

That is that policy, forcing women to look at an ultrasound before getting an abortion, 52% to 43%, a popular policy.

In fact, a third of pro-choicers believe that that should be the law.

How about a 24-hour waiting period?

Again, it's a pro-life law, right?

65% say that should be the law.

In fact, includes 41% of people who consider themselves pro-choice.

How about a law that requires doctors to have hospital admitting privileges?

This is seen as one of the most restrictive pro-life laws available.

However, 64%

of people

support it, at least as worded in this poll.

And this is one of the things we were talking about earlier, Clint, about how they word these polls.

The poll basically says, should doctors be forced or required to have hospital admitting privileges?

This is a law that pro-lifers

show because in Roe v.

Wade, there's talk about health restrictions in the second trimester in particular.

So that's obviously a pro-life rule.

You want to make the doctors have more

medical responsibilities.

However, 68% of pro-choice voters think that should be the law, and only 59% of pro-life voters.

So it's more people don't even know what they're talking about.

Yeah, people don't even know what they're talking about at this point.

This is why it's really impossible to have any kind of of real discussion with people because you'll bring a fact up and they'll say, Well, I don't know about that.

I'm just against it because.

Right.

And so you can't really have, yeah, it's teams.

You can't really truly have any intellectual discussions with people because we're being discouraged by it.

I want to go back into the language here in just a second.

We'll finish up this poll and go back into the language of another poll that we went into yesterday because I changed the language and I wanted to see if there was any difference.

And Stu will give us the results of that coming up in one minute.

You know what I want for Father's Day?

I want time with my kids.

And then I would really, really like,

oh, I don't know, no vegetables.

I just want meat.

That's it.

So to do a quick wrap-up of this, Glenn, because if you look at the poll in its entirety, what you see is people do want abortion to be available in some circumstances, but circumstances that are more restricted than they are now.

That's the take on it.

So in other words, safe, legal, and rare.

And rare being the one thing that I would say, I mean, everyone wants it.

God forbid something's going to happen.

I don't know how abortion is safe, considering you're intentionally killing one of the things involved in it, but still,

yes, they want it to be safe, legal, and very rare, and rare,

very rare.

I mean, many people think it should be almost never available, but still consider themselves to be pro-choice, which is bizarre.

And what this shows is, of course, that the messaging factor is going the left's way with a massive assist from the media.

So, let me look at it this way here, Glenn.

If you look at the two positions that are being talked about a lot, the extreme positions that are debated, quote-unquote extreme

sort of positions, you have the left saying

it's available all the way to birth, okay?

It's a woman's right to choose.

You can't restrict that woman's right to choose.

We have 24 candidates in this race.

Every single one of them has advocated for some

vision of that, where women will be able to choose the entire time.

For

right now, what's going on with Republican lawmakers is they're trying to do heartbeat laws, right?

Those are the two main positions being talked about at the extremes.

Well, right now, if you look at in the poll, it asks all of these questions.

It says, what do you think?

Should abortion be available all the way to birth?

And they say 16% of people say yes to that.

So the mainstream, 24 candidates, universal agreement on the Democratic side, only 16% of Americans actually support that position.

Now,

on the Republican side, it's a heartbeat law.

Abortion should only be available until a heartbeat begins, about six or eight weeks into the pregnancy, right?

46%

of people believe that should be the law.

So it's 46 to 16.

Yet one side is presented as if essentially it's Adolf Hitler making the policy.

The most hateful thing you've ever heard in your entire life.

Only six weeks.

Women might not even know they're pregnant yet.

Well, half the country believes that should be the law.

Only 16% believe that what the entire democratic field believes

that, yes, it should be available all the way to birth because at the fundamental level, the mommy gets to make the choice.

That is not the way it's presented at all.

And it's why I think you see so many people who think that they are pro-choice.

I mean, you know, that is just

like none of their underlying positions identify a pro-choice viewpoint as it's currently constructed in our, in our political system.

But they still believe.

The

media has made pro-choice into extreme positions.

And so they think that anything reasonable has to be

pro-choice.

Yeah.

Because pro-life is unreasonable.

Yeah, pro-life or pro-choice means good.

And anything unreasonable

has got to come from the other side.

So this is reasonable.

Rape, incest, blah, blah, blah.

It's got, it can't be the people on the, you know, on the right because they're unreasonable.

And I say this all the time when, you know, we talk to people all the time that are involved in these debates every day.

We have people on the news and why it matters all the time that kind of cycle in as panelists.

And there's people who are talking about these issues every day of their life.

Almost universally, when I bring up the point that European laws are more restrictive on abortion than U.S.

laws, laws, they're always shocked by that point.

Always.

You know, here's progressive Europe that's supposed to be so enlightened, and they have more restrictive laws on abortion than we do.

People don't even know these things because the media is doing what you just said, saying pro-life is bad and pro-choice is good, period.

Right, and Americans are Puritans.

So, why not believe that if the media says it's so?

This is the Glembeck program.

Hello, America.

From Coast to Coast, this is the Glenn Beck program.

Yesterday, Stu, I went through a new poll about conspiracy theories, and it's rather disturbing if you look at it, the way it was written and the way it was answered.

But I want to go through it first with you.

Tell me, you agree or disagree.

Moon landing was faked.

I disagree.

I do not disagree with that.

Right.

11%

say that it was.

Government is using chemtrails or chemicals in order to control the population.

No.

20% of Americans, 19%, say that they are.

That's a crazy number.

That's a more popular conspiracy theory than I realized.

Yeah.

Illuminati secretly controlling the world.

21%.

No.

Climate change is a hoax.

Like,

I think.

Just respond.

Don't think.

Just respond.

I mean,

you know, we've done too much on this for me to not parse it a little bit.

I mean, I think climate change is a hoax is essentially shorthand by many Republicans and people on the right for saying a lot of different things.

But I mean, do I think it's a hoax?

I would say I don't think it's a hoax.

No.

I mean, it's not a hoax, but

there's massive problems with it, and that's how people shorthand that point.

So far, you and I are in agreement.

Climate change is a hoax, I kind of waver on because there's parts of it that are, parts of it that are not.

The change itself is not, I don't think.

9-11 was an inside job.

Absolutely not.

Okay, you disagree with 23% of Americans.

The government is hiding aliens in Area 51.

No.

Okay, me neither.

There is a deep state working against the U.S.

President, Donald Trump, and his supporters.

Don't think.

I mean, as a conspiracy theory, no, I don't think that's a cons I don't think that that's it.

I, you know, there's another one I'd love to parse for another five minutes here, but I yes, yes, yes.

Last one, Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in assassinating JFK.

So it's a double negative here.

So I'm saying he did act alone.

So, yeah.

No, he did not act alone in assassinating.

Right.

So I'm saying, no, he did not act alone.

Okay.

I think I follow.

Okay.

So you and I are in complete agreement.

Yesterday, I answered these questions, but I just took in a lot of the assumptions and said, okay, well,

I don't think he acted.

I mean, I think he acted alone.

You know, that's what I believe.

However, I wouldn't be surprised to find out.

So I went online and we did a survey.

And you can still take this at glennbeck.com.

And I'd love to see it.

Now,

47% of the american people say lee harvey oswald did not act alone in assassinating jfk

let me change the wording of this and see if it changes the the uh percentage i believe lee harvey oswald killed jfk alone however i would not be surprised to find out that the government sealed evidence that others were involved

i would say yes to that now you've converted me from a no to a yes on that one.

Right, because I don't know, and the government has such a bad reputation of hiding things that I don't know.

Right.

But I'm going to, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I want to leave the door open.

Yeah, I think, right.

Like, I don't think it's a conspiracy theory to think that additional evidence could be provided that changes your mind.

This is how you're supposed to operate in

every circumstance.

Okay.

if by deep state the second one uh well we give me give me the percentages of how it turned out so the first one originally harvey oswald originally it was 47 percent say they believed in that conspiracy theory uh the way you worded it was 85 percent

okay

why because it's not forcing you into a conspiracy theory or denying the fact that there are parts of it that are not covered in this and you're like well i don't know that's not quite right But

do you know what I mean?

Right.

If by deep state, you mean longtime Washington power brokers who are used to calling the shots and now feel threatened by Donald Trump not listening to their advice or counsel, yes, I do believe that many people like that are working against him and his administration.

I mean, I think that's

basically proven, right?

I mean,

we know that.

They've bragged about it in op-eds, right?

They've said they they didn't put things on his desk.

Like, there's lots of examples of this.

And that one

initially.

It went from 29% originally to 98%

of our audience says yes to that.

And that's what I think is fair.

Like, I mean, like, you look at that and you say, not only have you seen people in the FBI who outwardly were, you know, trashing Trump

to each other, at least, in private texts, you have people who've written op-eds about it.

You've seen large exposes of these types of behaviors in books, and where they're presenting it as positive, like Donald Trump's crazy, so we stepped in to stop him.

Well, that's not how an administration is supposed to operate.

So, I, you know, I think, yeah, that's that's fair as long as you're just defining it, you're not defining it as like some group of you know, doctor evils somewhere, which is how it's presented.

You know, I think that that is absolutely, I mean, we've already seen evidence of this.

So, I am not, I don't believe that aliens are in Area 51 or spaceships personally.

I don't believe that.

However, instead of saying the government is hiding aliens in Area 51, 27%,

I think the average person feels more like this.

Whether alien bodies are in Area 51 or not, I do believe the government knows more about UFOs than they have told us.

Right, and we just have seen reporting on this, right?

We've had people from inside these government offices.

Yeah, they say like, yeah, we we know that they're real.

We don't know what they are yet.

We don't necessarily know they're from outer space or anything like that, but we do know that these things have occurred many times.

And we've seen video of this recently.

27%

said initially to that, and 82% of the audience, when you worded it that way, said, Yeah, I'm on it.

I mean,

you're just flipping things.

I mean, it's just flipping it upside down.

Okay, the next one is

9-11 was an inside job.

And 23% of the American people agreed with that.

I do not.

Now, let me word it this way: I do not believe the U.S.

government was involved in 9-11.

But as we do know, NSA advisor Sandy Berger was caught destroying documents from the National Archives related to both Bush, Clinton, and the Saudis.

All administrations have been too close to the Saudis, and the Saudis were involved on 9-11 at some level.

Now what is gone from 23% to

80%?

I mean, this one, you actually do outwardly say the conspiracy theory isn't true.

You're saying, I do not believe the government was involved in 9-11.

So you're going to capture a lot of people, I think, by it is a somewhat a different question, I think, at that level.

But the idea that there were people covering their butts because they knew they looked bad and they didn't want certain things to come out.

I mean, I think that's a thing a lot of people believe.

And we seem to find those things out later on all the time.

You know, whatever conspiracy, whatever situation is a major story 20 years ago, you know, I mean, look at the Martin Luther King thing for a second.

There is a report that came out from the FBI that said he was present and laughing at an ongoing rape, and there's supposedly audio tape of it.

And we find that out,

you know, how many years after we get a U.S.

holiday for the guy?

I mean, again, he did a lot of great things.

There's no question about it, but I don't know that he gets a U.S.

holiday if he's, you know, laughing at a woman being raped.

Probably not a me-too

situation there.

Yeah.

Might have been important information to have before we voted on the holiday.

Fair.

All right.

22% say climate change is a hoax.

All right.

I wrote, I believe the climate is always changing.

It's natural.

I'd be willing to accept that man may play a role in this, but I do not believe in the solutions currently being discussed, nor do I believe the intention of most political activists are pure.

Yeah.

So it was 22% initially, now 97% of your audience believes that.

97%.

The George or the Illuminati is secretly in control of the world, 21%.

I wrote, any talk of the Illuminati provides the true dangers to

man's freedom, like very powerful NGOs and men like George Soros, a perfect cover.

Yeah, that goes from 21 to 91%.

Though, again, I think that one has a little bit of a, it's a little bit of a different point you're making there.

Like, that's one is, do I believe in the Illuminati?

The second one is,

the Illuminati is just a cover for other bad groups.

Those are sort of two different positions, but it's definitely one that you can look at and say, look, because it's true.

I mean, if you don't believe in the Illuminati, and most don't, you look at that as just a distraction from actual.

I don't know what the Illuminati is for a low peep.

I mean, I know the Illuminati existed, you know, what, in the 150, 1600s?

I,

come on, come on.

All right.

The government is using chemicals to control the population through chemtrails.

19%

agree with that.

That's crazy.

That's higher than I would have expected because that feels like even fringy for conspiracy theorists.

Yeah.

Here is the score on that, and here's how I reworded that.

The U.S.

government has done horrible

experiments on people and our land.

I also suspect that they will do more things like that in the future, but I don't believe in the systematic spraying of chemicals using chemtrails.

Initially, 19% said they believe in the chemtrails thing, 83% in the way that you worded it.

So

you,

okay.

The moon landing was real, but I see a time coming when people will not be able to trust their eyes due to deep fakes.

I mean, that is an ⁇ I don't know how you disagree with that one.

96% of the audience agreed with that one.

I mean, the only reason you would disagree with that is if you think the moon landing wasn't real.

Right?

If you think the moon landing wasn't real, you couldn't agree with that statement.

But as 4% of our audience apparently did.

But

it goes from 11% to 96% when you reword it that way.

The wording makes a lot of difference in polls.

What was the strongest result?

I mean, between deep state,

not landing on the moon, and climate, those are the three strongest ones.

Where our audience obviously is going to be skeptical of the solutions presented by the government for climate change, which they should be.

Also, you know, the idea that deep fakes, I mean, I don't know there's any audience in America that's more prepared for what's happening, what's coming with deep fakes.

We've been talking about it for multiple years way before

it became

a serious topic talked about in the news.

I remember talking about it seriously and having friends and advisors going, Glenn, you lose your audience every time you talk about this stuff.

This just sounds ridiculous.

And I'm like, I know, but it won't soon.

It won't soon.

Right.

And that's, we've seen that.

You know, you see that with our ratings as we see them.

You know, initially, you talked about that stuff.

It did not do well, but it now does because there's much more awareness about it.

And people realize you were talking about it before everybody else.

It's always a good indication as to someone who actually has put thought into it.

But

when it comes to the deep state is another big one.

And we did an entire chalkboard series on the deep state and what it actually means.

And it doesn't mean this idea that Dr.

Evil is around somewhere trying to stop the Trump administration.

What it means is like

the media would like to make that into the star chamber, but I don't think it's, I don't think most people look at it as a star chamber.

There's no meetings in darkened rooms with everybody getting together and saying, all right, corporations, are you all in?

Yes, master.

I mean, it's just, it's not that way.

It's just people who like their power, that do not want to get rid of their power, don't want to cede it,

and perhaps even think that the president is wrong.

Maybe it's about more than power.

And they decide he's dangerous, he's got to go, and they'll find like-minded people to work with them to thwart him in any way that they can.

And when we come back after the top of the hour, or no, we have still time.

When we come back in just a couple of minutes, I'm going to show you

evidence of that.

I think if I can find it in the stack of all my paperwork, I'll show it to you.

Coming up, just a sec.

Sponsor of this half hour is Norton Security.

Norton Security is a name that we've all known for a long, long time.

They have been securing our computers for forever, ever since I can remember.

It's a name that we can trust.

Now,

Facebook, not so much.

Facebook came out with a VPN because they said, you know, people are following you and people are watching what you're doing.

They know that VPNs are a thing of the future.

So they wanted to get in early and be a trusted name in VPNs, virtual private networks.

Well, people were onto them.

People knew that what they were doing was they were getting the exclusive jump on you.

They'd be the only ones that would have your information that they could use and then also sell.

People didn't like that too much.

That business just went out of business.

Norton Secure

is a company that we have grown to trust.

They have said they're not selling the information.

They're not gathering the information, they are only providing a virtual private network for you.

It's really easy to use.

All you have to do is just download the app, put in the passcode one time, and it goes to all of your devices, and you're on a virtual private network.

Only from Norton, Norton Secure VPN.

Protection starts at 333 a month.

Head to norton.com/slash VPN.

That's norton.com/slash VPN.

So, let me give you this.

The Democrat from Tennessee, Steve Cohen, talked about impeachment and he said, the main reason I'm interested is not so much to win the Senate, which is a byproduct.

It's because I think he's committed impeachable offenses and he needs the scarlet eye on his chest.

The only reason why they're doing this is to discredit him for his next term, just like they discredited him on the first term before he even got into office.

That's what this is all about.

That's Deep State.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Well, YouTube has apologized to the gay and lesbian community for the hate mongering of Steven Crowder.

So they have apologized and they said they're sorry.

And Steven Crowder came out yesterday and said the exact opposite.

I'll show you what's coming in one minute.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Our sponsor is Relief Factor.

If you're in pain,

There's a three-week quick start.

I drove across the country this weekend, and altitude greatly affects me.

I have a hard time flying in a plane.

It causes an awful lot of pain.

Don't ask why.

Oh my gosh.

Can you hear this?

Listen to that.

Did you hear that?

That's that cow.

We have this cow.

I'm up at the ranch.

We have this cow that I thought was sick.

It's a bull.

We have three bulls.

There he is.

Listen.

And I was like, something is wrong with our bull.

Now, I'm a city rancher, okay?

When I say rancher, I mean I own the dump and somebody else does all the work, okay?

So I come up, we move the, yeah, the American way.

So

I'm creating jobs.

So I call the rancher and I said,

something's wrong with our bull.

And he said, what?

And I said, I've never heard a cow sound like this.

He said, does he sound like a donkey?

And I said, yes.

And he said, yeah, he just just wants some.

He just wants some.

And this,

yeah, you know what I mean?

He wants a slice of some cow pie.

And well, that doesn't sound right.

So, this is essentially he's looking for some romance.

It's the equivalent of a honk if you're a horny bumper sticker.

Like, he's actually honking.

Yes, that's exactly right.

Okay.

And so, this one, we have three balls.

The other two are fine.

This guy is like, wants some all the time.

He must be a teenager because he's like midnight, 2 a.m., 7 in the morning, noon.

It doesn't matter.

He's always going for it.

And I just say, God bless you.

But none of the ladies seem to be interested.

They're all just like, nah, not interested.

Kind of feel bad for him in some ways.

Anyway, relief factor.

So I was traveling, and altitude bothers me, and I'm up way up in the mountains.

It snowed up here on Saturday.

And

that cow does not want a slice of me.

Anyway,

this is impossible to do.

I think we have to close the windows.

Anyway, anyway,

Relief Factor has helped me through my pain up here in the high altitudes, and it can help you.

It was created by doctors.

It's 100% drug-free.

The three-week quick start is $19.95.

It's a dollar a day.

It's like a trial pack.

70% of the people who try the three-week quick start.

Look at that guy.

Man, he is just like, come over here.

I want some.

Three-week quick start.

70%

go on to order more.

Try it now.

It's relief factor.com.

I might give it to that bull.

ReliefFactor.com because it's gotta be

painful at this point.

The only talk show host that's dumb enough to let

cows

be heard on the on the radio.

So

that's you.

Welcome to it.

That's our new slogan.

Cow,

the cow goes,

calm down, dude.

All right.

All right.

So

let me just go through a couple of things.

First of all, yesterday, do we have the audio audio of the YouTube CEO that is apologizing for what is going on and

apologizing to the gay community?

None of us want harmful content on our platforms.

I think last quarter alone, we removed 9 million videos from the platform.

More recently, we have introduced, you know, just like today we do this in search,

we rank content based on quality.

And so we're bringing that same notion and approach to YouTube so that we can rank higher quality stuff better and really prevent borderline content, content which doesn't exactly violate policies which need to be removed, but which can still cause harm.

And so we are working hard.

It's a hard computer science problem.

It's also a hard societal problem because we need better frameworks around what is hate speech, what's not, and how do we as a company make those decisions at scale and get it right without making mistakes.

So basically do the impossible, but do it surrounded by really radical liberal progressives and democratic socialists.

I'm sure you're going to get that.

I'm sure you're going to get that delicate balance right.

And that delicate balance is to go ahead and

make sure that you get the borderline content.

So, not the content that has violated anything, but the content that just doesn't feel right.

Oh, that sounds like it's going to be easy for you.

Steven Crowder said, I'm not sorry about what I did.

Here's Stephen Crowder.

I'm not.

I'm not sorry.

I'll tell you what I am, though.

I am grateful.

I am really grateful to the outpouring of support that we've seen from people.

Let me sort of explain this a little bit.

You know, we offered the promo code free speech for $30 off for everybody who joined Mud Club through the weekend with a student, veteran, active military discount so that everyone could get it.

More people

joined Mud Club than in the company's history.

And I'm so grateful.

But something interesting happened.

Over half of you who joined didn't use the promo code.

And I've received so many messages, emails from people saying, we wanted to pay full price just because we want to support what it is that the team is doing.

And I really, I appreciate it.

I do want to clarify, though, the promo code is there to be used.

So, if you have a hard time affording the $99 a year, if that's a stretch, please take advantage.

I'm actually going to extend the promo code all the way through Tuesday night free speech.

You still get the full $30 off.

But I didn't want to go without thanking you guys.

And I have some other people that I would like to thank.

And something I'd like to clarify with you guys, by the way, the reason I'm taping this on my phone is because about to hop on a plane

taping a thematically appropriate change my mind, given the current circumstances.

If I are an auteur, that would be

foreshadowing.

And for people who just joined Mug Club, tonight, they're still, as we pre-taped, a full one-hour life advice segment.

So that is going up right now.

But I wanted to thank everyone on YouTube specifically, not just Mug Club members.

And not just people at Daily Wire, you know, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Claven, Michael Knowles, all of them.

Thank you so much.

And of course, everyone at the Blaze, like Mark Levin and Glenn Beck and Roaming Millennial,

but people over here at YouTube who really aren't necessarily, I have to switch arms.

Gosh, I need to work on my shoulder endurance.

This is embarrassing.

People who aren't even necessarily political, people who wouldn't agree with our politics,

but covered this anyway, because

you understand the context.

You understand the issue that all of us are facing.

People like not only Tim Poole and Joe Rogan, but people like Keemstar and Philip DeFranco, anyone who I've forgotten.

I really do appreciate it.

So

he makes makes a really good point that more people are coming out than just conservatives.

People are starting to be really concerned.

For instance, the news industry has now joined calls for increased scrutiny of big tech.

Struggling news industry is joining calls to increase oversight of tech giants like Facebook and Google, urging policymakers to also take into account how Silicon Valley has upended its business of journalism.

The antitrust investigation into tech giants will hold a hearing on Tuesday to hear from industry leaders and advocates who believe that Silicon Valley is responsible for the decline in local newspapers and has threatened the business models relied on by many outlets.

Now, I don't agree with this reason.

I mean, that is honestly like

the carriage companies saying,

I don't like these car companies.

They're getting too big.

They're putting us out of business.

Well, yeah, because I thought you were

progressive, progress.

I thought you were for that.

I don't want a newspaper.

I want to be able to just grab it online.

Now, yes, it upends your business practices, but I go back to if anybody remembers, you're my age, you'll remember if you bought a GM or any GM car.

It said on the door plate, as you would step out, it had a little picture of an old carriage, and it said the Fisher Carriage Company.

That's what GM was before it became General Motors.

It was the Fisher Carriage Company.

And they were making carriages, and they decided, you know,

we either got to join them or they're going to crush us.

And so they stopped making horse-drawn carriages and started making cars.

That's what companies should do.

When you start to see the progress, you get out of the way and you join them in the next century or you're going to go out of business so the industry is calling for more scrutiny and they're asking the democrats to help them that is always the last sign before an industry goes out of business they ask for government protection so they don't go out of business it doesn't work it retards progress

did he say the word retard

oh my gosh that is awful he is so politically incorrect.

Yes, I know, I know.

And I might use it again in the same context later.

So what is YouTube saying that they're going to do?

Well, yesterday, I did about an hour on this New York Times story, making of a YouTube radical, algorithms in the alt-right.

And on the alt-right, believe it or not, was

Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.

That's the alt-right to the the New York Times.

So they show that they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

And they say towards the end that

YouTube has played a role in steering a lot of people towards the far-right fringes.

And it suggests that in time, YouTube is, listen to this, capable of steering them in a very different direction.

Now, hang on just a second.

What?

You're going to steer people?

This is Cass Sunstein's nudge.

This is

Bernay's and original propaganda.

This is moving people.

This is everything

you should worry about in a Big Brother situation.

That Big Brother watches you, knows everything about you, and Big Brother will eventually shoot you if it has no other choice, but Big Brother will nudge you, will push you into the direction it wants.

Well, I got news for you.

YouTube is not some charity.

It's not run by Mother Teresa.

They want views.

They want to control all of the views.

And so they'll do what's best for them.

So what are they doing?

They said

in response YouTube executives announced that the recommendation algorithm would give more weight to watch time rather than views.

That way, the creators would be encouraged to make videos that users would finish.

And users would be more satisfied, and YouTube would be able to show them more ads.

The bet paid off.

Within weeks of the algorithm change, the company reported overall watch time was growing even as the number of views shrank, according to the 2017 report.

So it grew by more than 50%

a year for three consecutive years.

A month after its algorithm tweak, YouTube changed its rules to allow all video creators to run ads with their videos and earn a portion of the revenue.

Previously, only popular channels that had been vetted by YouTube were able to run ads.

Neither change was intended to benefit the far right, no kidding.

And YouTube's algorithm had no inherent preference for extreme political content.

Remember, extreme is Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin.

It treated a white nationalist monologue no different from an Ariana Grande cover or cake icing

tutorial.

But at the far right, they were well positioned to capitalize on the changes.

Many right-wing creators also made long video essays or posted video versions of their podcast.

Their inflammatory messages were now more engaging than the milder fare, and they could earn more money from their videos, and they had a financial incentive to churn out as much material as possible.

A few progressive YouTube channels flourished from 2012 to 2016, but they were dwarfed by the creators on the right who had developed an intuitive feel of the way YouTube's platform worked and were better able to tap in the emerging wave of right-wing populism.

This is YouTube looking at this and saying, we're going to punish those who are good business people.

We're going to punish people who America wants to watch

because

we're not about ratings.

No, we're above that.

We're about messages.

Now they're going a step further and they are changing the algorithm to steer you away from messages like mine or Ben's or Jordan Peterson's or Steven Crowder's.

Watch carefully because you're being manipulated right now.

All right, we break for 60 seconds.

Let me tell you about our sponsor.

It's American Financing.

American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All right, so the Fed has signaled that they may drop interest rates again at their meeting later this month.

They're talking about possibly going to zero.

That's going to make the stock market just shoot through the sky.

It's going to

pretty much set us up for yet another 1929 disaster.

When money is cheap, people will use that money to take risks, and they will.

and it will work for a while.

We may have a melt up.

That's what I've been predicting for a couple of years is not a meltdown but a melt up.

The reason that the Fed is reducing rates is because although the economy is doing great, they see signs of slowing and have no other option to keep the economy growing.

But I caution you.

Don't buy into this, please.

If the interest rates go down, don't get a bigger house because it won't last forever and financial trouble eventually will come.

A great place to start is the salary-based consultants at American Financing.net.

If you're looking to get out of a

get out of a high-interest credit card and you want a consolidation loan, you want to get out of an adjustable mortgage and into a fixed rate, now may be the best time to do it.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

10 seconds, station ID.

So I just want to show you that because it's Pride Week,

the CEO of YouTube came out and said he was really, really sorry.

He had to apologize to the gay community for what Stephen Crowder did.

He was wholly inappropriate.

I want to play some audio here on the gay pride gathering in Washington, D.C.

The question was, what is the biggest threat to gay gay rights?

Here's what the gay pride paraders had to say.

We're asking, what people think the biggest threat to gay rights is in America today.

Why are you out here today?

I haven't been, and I've lived in this area my entire life, so I went all out.

Chadies out.

We're here to celebrate our identities, our sexual identities, our gender identities, our expression.

What do you think the biggest threat to gay rights is today?

Straight people?

I think you would say this administration right now.

That's all I'm going to say.

And I think our current administration is a bad thing.

Donald Trump.

Yeah.

Donald Trump.

The police.

First and foremost.

Our current political establishment.

I think the biggest threat is the Trump administration.

What do you think the bigger threat to gay rights is in America?

Radical Islam or Donald Trump?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

The big orange thing sitting in the White House.

Yeah, the him.

Radical Islam or Donald Trump?

I live under Iraq.

I would probably say Trump.

Donald Trump.

Sounds like a trick question to me because they both got issues.

Trump and his administration have cast a multiple threats on our entire race.

Honestly, Trump is a white supremacist, and all he cares about is white people and white power.

White people, white, straight people.

He has no, he gives no f about anyone other than white people.

It, I am who I am.

If you don't like it, f it.

regardless of those two options What is the biggest threat to gay rights in this country today?

I would say it comes down to a humane rights issue the white power that involves this country is disgusting.

I think white power should be released from this country and I think that Trump and his administration perpetuate a system of racism that is institutionalized and black people and people of color are absolutely marginalized and really just like criminalized for no reason and I think that it's all because of Trump and his administration.

That was important.

What we need is people in power, not just the president but like Congress to stand behind like people that aren't just

straight white men.

Yeah.

Straight white men for sure.

Yeah.

I'm here as an anti-capitalist, as anti-police, anti-military.

I'm here to celebrate the original meaning of pride.

So I'm here protesting the cops in the parade.

I'm here protesting the military in in the parade.

And I'm here celebrating my identity and my friends as well.

They don't want to Republicans.

Basically, they don't want to see equal rights.

They don't want to see anyone thriving.

All right, I think we've heard enough.

Now, have we got heard enough from Casio Cortez here?

Casio Cortez who attends a parade?

These are the people that

YouTube is apologizing to.

Really?

Which one is hate speech?

Which one?

I don't know.

I got got feelings.

Might be a problem there.

All right.

Our sponsor this half hour is Life Lock.

Recent survey found that privacy is the number one concern about smart home devices.

68%

of responders say they believe that smart home devices listen to you when you're not aware and share the data with companies.

They absolutely do.

They have admitted this.

Alexa is listening and recording, and they have humans going through all of that.

Wait a minute, that's not what I signed up for.

That's not what you told me before.

We know this to be true.

Most of your life will be recorded by a speaker somewhere in your house.

That's what's coming.

Lots of threats in today's connected world.

It takes one weak link for criminals to get in and destroy your identity.

Identity threats like your social security number for sale on the dark web, any of your information, there's Life Lock there to protect you, and a U.S.-based restoration specialist will work to fix it if there is a problem.

To whom it may concern at the Glenn Beck program

I like Glenn and I agree with him 90% of the time however once again he stepped over the line

anyone who openly hates cats I believe are very insecure and quote hates cats because they are independent and cannot be controlled

Well, that's not why I hate cats.

Just my opinion, but I have learned not to totally trust anyone who does not like or at least appreciate cats.

And I take offense to this.

I take umbrage to this because I do appreciate cats.

They make a very delicious stew, and it's perky.

Dogs are not.

Are you just trying to ruin the life of the people who check our email?

That's it.

It's just

all I try to do.

I feel like cats take them or leave them.

I really don't care.

Well, leave them because I hate them.

Dogs are liberals.

Listen to this.

Dogs are liberals.

They're totally dependent on their owners and exhibit blind, panting faith.

Cats are conservatives and more than capable of surviving on their own and are not dependent on handouts.

Yes, but just like a liberal, they're usually on my kitchen counter looking for my food.

Yes, and don't tell me some San Francisco hippie would not be jumping up on your counter.

And we should point out, by the way, that dogs, I mean, look at Chernobyl.

There's drogs ranging around there all the time.

They're not getting fed by anybody.

They've moved into the system.

They've learned to be good members of society, so they are fed by humans.

But if they are not fed by humans, they're not going to just collapse.

They go out and they find their food.

Cats expect to be treated on equal terms, and I love that about cats.

Well, Mr.

Smith, as if that is your real name,

you couldn't be more wrong.

And I just want you you to know that it is my deep belief, Google this real quick, Stu.

It is my deep belief that cats are liberals and dogs are conservatives.

More conservatives like dogs and more liberals like and have cats.

And I think that's no matter what the study actually says, that's universal truth.

Well, you will be happy to hear, Glenn, that the study and science backs you up on this.

There is a, under the very clever Democats and Republicans,

you find.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

You find, here's the top 10 states for cat ownership.

10, Ohio, okay, Purple State.

9, New York, 8, Pennsylvania, 7, New Hampshire, then 6, not a state, but District of Columbia, 5, Connecticut, 4, Vermont, 3, Maine, 2, Maryland, and number 1, Massachusetts for cats.

What is this telling you?

They're not just liberals, they're democratic socialists.

And for dogs, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

So you got Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, the top three for dogs, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas.

I mean, I think the science is...

That tells me

between New Mexico and Texas, they're independent thinkers.

They're independent thinkers and definitely conservative, maybe even libertarian.

Just saying, I believe my dog may have voted other

a few times.

You've sorted this out finally with the assistance of science.

There you go.

All right, let me give you a story.

You know, did you see the

helicopter crash that happened yesterday?

Yeah, in New York.

In New York City.

Yeah, really, really tragic,

but not as tragic as the first real helicopter crash that happened in 1977.

Now, this guy, we don't know what was wrong exactly, but he was having trouble over the water.

For some reason, instead of throwing it into the drink,

he tries to cut across Manhattan and land on a building, which was insanity.

But

he unfortunately passed away, and there were some real problems yesterday.

And my...

Well, I hate to say this, but my thoughts and prayers with those in New York because they're kind of having...

They had a little flashback about 9-11 yesterday.

New York's York's a very weird place, and something, anything in the sky makes you skittish when you live in New York.

But let me tell you this.

In fact, I want to read the story from the New York Times from 1977.

This is the day after it happened.

New York Airways helicopter idling on a heliport atop the Pan Am building in Midtown Manhattan keeled over on a broken landing gear yesterday afternoon and a huge rotor br blade snapped off and slashed four people,

cut them in half, before coming to rest fifty nine stories below and a block away on Madison Avenue.

A fifth victim died later at Bellevue Hospital.

Though whirling like a giant boomerang, the blade struck four people on the rooftop landing pad, killing three of them by cutting them in half instantly and plunging over the skyscraper's west side.

About halfway down the gray tower, the blade crashed into a window and broke in two.

One piece of a blade continued to fall, whirling onto Madison Avenue and killing a woman walking on Madison shortly after 5.30 p.m., the height of evening rush hour.

At least seven persons were killed, five seriously.

Three of the injured were a man, his wife, and their young son.

Most were said to have been

struck by the runaway rotor blade or by fragments of it or the shattered window of the Pan Am building.

Authorities say the emergency medical crews encountered delays of 45 minutes of getting the injured out of the building because the elevators had been shut down on the upper floors.

It was the first major accident at the controversial helicopter landing site above the tower, which rises above the ornate Grand Central Terminal on Park Park Avenue.

The heliport was used for 26 months, but service was stopped in 1968, principally because it wasn't profitable, and flights were resumed only last February.

Now, this story is being written in 1977.

When the Blaze was looking for property in New York, we actually went up to the top of what was the Pan Am Building.

It's now the Met Life Building.

And

because I wanted to build a glass cube studio on top of that roof, right where that airport was,

just to say, screw you to all the New York elites.

For some reason, they didn't want me to build that.

But we went in, and it still

looks like a 1960s airport lounge.

It's like three stories tall, and then you take an elevator to go up to the roof, and you see

this like bubble top of of strong you know bulletproof glass where the flight tower and the you know pretty much is where all of the air traffic controllers were that's all been stripped out and it's now

uh

FBI

possibly equipment.

It's all listening devices and

monitoring and radio devices that was installed after 9-11.

So there's nothing on that roof anymore except that that lobby of this pan.

I mean, it's like walking into a time tunnel.

It's a little like walking into like what I think Chernobyl would be today, just creepy and old and a time capsule.

They say in this story, the accident occurred only a minute after the aircraft landed after a flight from Kennedy International Airport.

Its 20 passengers had disembarked and a half dozen of the 21 new passengers had gone aboard.

Suddenly, the right front landing gear crumpled, and the huge aircraft toppled on its right side near the northeast corner of the rooftop.

Witnesses said scenes of horror ensued.

Windows along its side shattered.

One of the four twenty-foot blades of the mass horizontal rotor broke off.

The blade and shards of glass were hurled into the small crowd of people waiting to board the aircraft.

Many flung themselves down.

Others were cut down.

There was nothing but

screaming metal and glass flying, one said.

Everyone threw themselves to the floor and there was blood all over everyone.

It was terrible.

I heard great sounds

and glass was blowing all over us.

Some of the victims were cut into pieces.

Shortly after the accident, the rooftop was a scene of carnage.

Blood splattered clothing and newspapers pressed the roof.

It was littered with toiletry kits, magazines, books, all torn apart and bloodied.

Nearby, a cart filled with baggage stood intact.

After slashing through the group on the roof, the blade and the glass shards tumbled down toward Vanderbilt Avenue at the base of the skyscraper's west facade.

After breaking off in a window halfway down, part of the blade hurled down, according to a fire lieutenant, and killed the woman on Madison Avenue.

Other pedestrians were cut by falling glass.

This is,

can you imagine seeing this?

Can you imagine the horror

in 1977 of this helicopter?

I mean, luckily, it did not fall over the side.

Parts of the helicopter yesterday did fall over the side.

And those streets, people, the guy yesterday said that

he was in, I'm trying to remember the name of the place he was in, but he was in a

like a lobby of something and there was huge glass windows.

And he said that he thought it was like a hailstorm.

He said it lasted three minutes of just glass coming down into the streets.

Three minutes.

Imagine being on the street.

It says incredible.

This is the story why they got rid of helicopters.

Helicopters.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's why you cannot fly

over New York City.

You need special permission to do it.

We've done it a couple of times, but that's because I know Bill O'Reilly.

We were on our way.

We were on our way to give a speech someplace, and I had never flown over New York and always wanted to, but you can't do it.

And Bill's like, oh, yeah, we can.

Magada, call ahead.

Tell him we want to fly over New York.

And so we flew over the city, which was crazy.

And then on the way back, he said, you want to see the Statue of Liberty like nobody else?

And I'm like, sure.

So we got really close to the head of the Statue of Liberty.

I thought we were going to be shot out of the sky.

If people would have known who was in the helicopter, I think we would have been.

Especially in New York.

But we, yeah, we flew around the head of the Statue of Liberty.

I mean, it's

knowing Bill O'Reilly does have its advantages.

I will say I was listening.

I was surprised to hear that, like, I guess because after 9-11, they did do a lot of the banning.

You couldn't fly.

I remember being there after 9-11 and seeing planes and occasional helicopters flying over the city.

It was like weird because the only time you've ever seen that, unless you live in New York and are there all the time, is when you've seen like the footage of right before 9-11 when you see a plane fly over the city.

It's like you don't see that view very often.

So it's shocking.

Do you remember?

we just had started war in, I don't know, Iraq, I think, and we were in New York and President Bush was coming.

Do you remember when they were flying the jets low over the rivers?

Do you remember that day?

I don't.

Yeah, they used to fly, every once in a while, they would do training missions, and if the president would come in, they would just lock the city down.

And they flew these jets over the water, over the bridges, and then down towards the water, really close.

And everybody who had been there for September 11th was freaking out because the last time they saw that was on 9-11.

And it was freaky, even if you didn't see it, because you're not used to any kind of plane being that close to the city.

They just don't do it anymore.

Yeah, well, you know, it's interesting.

I was listening to some aviation expert talking about this particular crash, and they said now they have in place for helicopters helicopters what they call visual flight rules, which essentially is you have to stay under the cloud and you have to be, I think it's 500 feet was the limit.

And then you just basically have to just not hit the buildings.

It's like the policy.

Right.

It's like, wait, really?

That's the

policy?

That's what they said?

Visual flight rules?

Really, you can fly over now?

Yeah, essentially.

I guess they must have loosened it after the immediate aftermath of 9-11.

The guy should not have been flying over the city, I think, for multiple reasons, but one of which is he was in the clouds.

And you don't know, you're flying in the clouds in New York City.

All of a sudden, a building is right in front of you.

All right.

New from Goldline.

I want to talk to you about our sponsor.

It is Goldline.

Goldline has a new four-coin collection of 1881 $5 Liberty coins from the U.S.

These were the ones

that,

you know, the people in the 1880s out west, when they were playing poker and they threw gold down, that was their money.

That's what they were carrying around.

Goldline has acquired an old-time hoard of these coins, not a large quantity, but enough to make a special offer for goldline customers.

It's the $5 gold coin.

It's the half eagle.

It was used heavily during the 1800s.

Our country was strong.

It was expanding into the Midwest, initiating new projects with the money from the East.

These are historic coins.

In fact, so historic,

the electric iron was invented using this money.

The Wharton School of Finance was established using these coins.

The Barnum and Bailey Circus became an American institution.

The Wild West saw the gunfight at the O.K.

Corral in Tombstone, Arizona when this was in people's pockets.

This is a piece of history that you can own.

This is also

the kind of coin that I buy.

buy.

Please consider gold and silver.

Consider these old coins.

Ask Goldline why I buy them.

It's goldline.com.

Go to goldline.com.

I would call them now, even if you own gold, this is something that you can update with.

This is a really special offer.

Call 866Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine, or goldline.com.

Welcome to the program.

So there's a new book out today, and I know everybody's going to be rushing to avoid it.

It's the new Jim Acosta book,

which he's been, you know, he's warning the conservatives.

Hey, you're not going to be able to, you're not going to be able to control the White House forever.

Yeah, I know that.

And Jim, I've got a warning to you and your publisher.

I don't think you're going to sell any more than 1,600 books this week.

Because, I mean, who really, seriously, who wants to be seen going in and out of a bookstore with a Jim Acosta book?

This is why they have answers.

Not even liberals.

No, they won't even buy this.

They won't even buy this.

No, they won't buy this in secret.

They won't.

They won't.

They're not interested in it.

Who's interested in Jim Acosta?

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
