A Case of the Mondays? | Guest: Suzanne Grishman | 5/28/19

This is the Glenbeck program.

Well, hello, America, and hello, Ohio.

We are thinking of you today.

There's some bad, bad storms that happened last night, and we'll get into that and how you can help the people of Ohio coming up in just a second.

We also, I've been on vacation for about 10, 12 days, and I was watching things that I think nobody else was watching.

I was watching the elections in Europe, and I'll explain what's happening happening around the world and how it is going to affect us.

And it's actually,

I think it's really kind of good news.

Also, the president says we need to go to Mars.

He says it's the most important security thing that we can do.

I think Baltimore might disagree with that.

We'll talk to you about what's happening in Baltimore and the perfect story to start a Monday.

Yeah, I know it's Tuesday.

It's Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday.

So if you're thinking like, oh, I just, you think you might be facing a bad day, relax.

I've got the ultimate Monday story.

Somebody who

really had a bad day.

We begin there next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, what's the first thing that you do when you get into a new car or into your car?

You adjust the seat, right?

Well, who was sitting in my chair last week?

Who was sitting in my chair?

Be

Your friend Pat Gray.

Pat Gray.

I spent about 20 minutes trying to readjust my chair because he took my chair and adjusted it six ways to Sunday.

I don't, I, I, I, I came in here and I'm like, what happened to my chair?

Uh, he adjusted it in ways I didn't even know you could adjust it.

Uh, but anyway, uh, this chair is the best ex-chair.

Um, it does adjust a million different ways to give you the perfect support that you need for either your home or work.

We spend more time in our office chair than we do in bed, which says something about us, really, doesn't it?

That we're either sitting or sleeping most of our life.

We are going to turn into those people like in, what was it, Wally?

No, it wasn't Wally.

It was

Wally.

It was Wally.

We were really fat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's one of those futures.

I wish a candidate would come out and say, the future is Wally.

Then I'd vote for that person.

Right.

Because that sounds great.

We're all just going going to be sitting around, just gaining weight.

Yeah.

Slavy.

I mean, it's not much different than my current life, but it really isn't.

A little more technology involved.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Anyway, X-Chair.

For those who feel like they're living the life of Wally,

but you need a really comfortable chair.

This is the best chair you'll ever sit in.

It's 8444XChair, 8444XChair, or X-Chairbeck.com.

A felon from Washington State made a series of mistakes when he shot himself in the testicles

and tried to hide the weapon, all while storing drugs in his butt.

Cameron Wilfrey Wilson, 27, was carrying a pistol in his front pocket while in Cashmere, Washington.

He was in an apartment on April April 5th when the firearm accidentally discharged

and blew off one of his testicles.

Wilson, who is a 13.

It hurt to say that, Stu?

It did.

I could feel the pain.

Yeah.

Wilson, who is a 13-time convicted felon, told his girlfriend to dispose of the weapon before heading to the hospital.

When the ex-con finally went to the hospital, now wait, hang on just a second.

Let me stop there.

Stu, why do you suppose he wanted that weapon disposed of

being a 13-time felon?

There may be some criminal concerns there, right?

Like he doesn't have a right to own a gun.

Right.

And he also had already kind of disposed of his own weapon.

Yeah.

So, right.

This is not a good day.

So when he went to the hospital, a balloon of drugs

slipped out of his anus while he was being operated on by the doctor.

Now, I don't know how it just slipped out of his anus, but apparently it did.

Cops arrived at the hospital when alerted of the gunshot wound.

They searched his car where they discovered a bag of meth in the bloodstained jeans that he was wearing when he shot himself to death.

There are so many things that this guy's going to jail on.

They say men can't multitask.

No,

this is a really good thing.

As he was being processed at the County Regional Justice Center.

Wilson was strip searched and another balloon of marijuana was found.

How much in it?

No,

I can't say it was found.

Let me quote the story.

Another balloon of marijuana slipped from his anus.

While in jail, he made a number of calls to his girlfriend and asked her not to cooperate with investigators.

Another crime.

That is the worst.

The convicted felon was charged with possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of meth, possession of a controlled substance in a correctional facility, and four counts of tampering with a witness.

Wait a minute.

I got to take issue with the possession in a, what was it, in a correctional facility?

I mean, yeah, that was a mistake.

Come on.

He had it in there long before.

Yeah, I mean,

Your Honor, I was free when I put that in my butt.

Yes.

I think that's a legitimate defense.

I think so.

There's got to be an attorney will take that one out.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, we can cut him some slack on that one.

That's pro bono material, too.

I mean, that's just,

wow.

You really have to, at some point, it's like, you know, it's like those people that, you know, go on, you know, American Idol, that somebody in their life didn't just say to them, you really suck at singing.

Somebody in his life needed to say, you're really not a good criminal.

I know you want to be a criminal, but you're really a bad criminal.

And it is one of those things, like criminal life is,

you only really get into it if you're good at it.

Or really.

In theory, right?

I mean, like,

there's 13 times you start to think to yourself, I should apply my time to something else.

Like, I should apply to like a job and use like, because there's plenty of incompetent people in regular life that hold jobs down.

You could work for the federal government.

Yeah.

You could run for office.

You'll never go to jail.

You could have anything coming from your anus and you're fine.

Yeah, and you have like a legitimate, like you're above the law in some of these circumstances.

Remember when Harry Reid went on the Senate floor and he was like, look,

you know, Mitt Romney didn't pay his taxes.

He didn't pay his taxes.

Just blatantly lying with no evidence.

And later admitted it.

And later admitted it.

But he was on the Senate floor, so you can't really do anything about him.

I mean, if something were to slip out

when you were giving a speech on the Senate floor, I think you're exempt from any crime.

I think a 10-pound bag just slipped out of his butt.

I was giving a speech.

I was giving a speech.

I was on the floor of the Senate.

I'm fine.

This would encourage some really interesting individuals to get into politics.

It would.

I think that's where we need to go.

So if you were having a bad day,

just realize,

most likely, I was going to say nothing, but most likely nothing is going to slip from your anus today.

And

you don't have to tell your girlfriend to hide a gun.

You're fine.

You're fine.

Today's a good day for you.

All right.

Relief factor.

In America, 50 million people miss work due to pain.

Of these Americans, they spend about $2,000 to combat their pain and 66% expect to live the rest of their life with some pain.

I have to tell you,

I just got back from vacation.

We were up at the ranch and we were fixing fences.

By the way, remind me to talk to you about mending fences because I thought a lot about it.

It's amazing when you are up on a farm, you're just out in the middle of nowhere, and you are just raising animals,

how much things begin to just make sense to you.

A, hard work

pays off.

There's nothing that can replace hard work.

I want to talk a little bit about that today.

And what was the thing I just told you to remind me of?

Mending fences.

Mending fences.

Mending fences.

Remind me of that.

But we were out and we were stringing fence

and barbed wire and electric fence, and it was trying to keep stew off the property.

And

I'm not going to complain about pain ever again.

Well, yes, I will.

But not today, because I will remember all the people that are doing this every single day.

And they walk around like, you know, their eye hanging out.

They're just like, yeah,

I just snag my eye on some wire.

I just pop it back in.

They just keep going.

They just keep going.

How many Americans are there?

We look at these Americans that are living in the cities.

We're like, where are the tough Americans?

The tough Americans are still out there.

The tough Americans are still going, yeah, no.

Yeah, I dislocated my shoulder.

I just, I just

kind of leaned up against a tree and popped it back.

I'm good.

If you're somebody that has reason to live

in pain,

you can get out of it with Relief Factor.

It stops the inflammation.

Call 800-500-8384, 800-500-8384.

There's no reason to live in the pain that you're living in.

Really, it's worked for me.

800-500-8384, relieffactor.com.

We break for 10 seconds.

Station ID.

So

I saw a story in the Huffington Post

about

pro-Trump drawings.

Are pro-Trump drawings art?

This drove me out of my mind.

They take,

President Donald Trump has inspired a range of famous artists across across different mediums to create works criticizing his administration and make a statement about his place in culture.

But there's also a lesser-known group of amateur and professional artists who laud the president and depict him as a strong, sometimes superhuman leader.

Largely rejected from the established art venues, these pro-Trump images proliferate on social media and have staked out a place as the Trump administration's unofficial

iconography.

Okay.

So the premise of this article is: if you don't like Trump, you're a respected artist.

But if you do like Trump, you're not really an artist.

You're not doing art.

You're doing drawings.

You're an amateur drawer.

Okay, that's what you are.

Few months ago, we assembled a group of editors and reporters from our culture and politics team, some who are no longer with the company.

I love that.

Why?

Why are they not with the company?

We executed them.

They said Trump stuff was good, so they're no longer

with us.

Or the earth.

They're no longer here.

Right.

To discuss the pro-Trump art.

So

they go through

these artists, and some of them are good.

Some of them are bad.

But, you know, like John McNaughton.

You know who John McNaughton is, right?

Yeah.

John McNaughton is a real artist and has done some really amazing religious paintings and everything else.

He's the guy who most conservatives will know

because he did the painting of, I think it was

Obama, wasn't he standing on the Constitution and the founders were behind him weeping?

And he did a lot of different political art, but it's real art.

I mean, it's beautiful art.

He did something for the Underground Railroad as a fundraiser.

He's done

a lot of

famous art, if you're on the right.

But he never gets any credit because he's on the right.

This whole thing is

where they talk about the pro-Trump art.

It's just propaganda.

It's not art.

Really?

Because do you remember the Hope poster?

That's now hanging in which museum?

In Los Angeles?

One of the big museums is now hanging his work.

Now, that truly was propaganda.

That was released as street art, if I'm not mistaken, at first.

And it was used as propaganda.

It was based on propaganda.

And that one's art.

But

anything that makes Trump look good is just a drawing.

Yeah, I mean, it's not surprising, of course.

Now, you, as the 100th most important man in the world of art, as named by some really high-falutin art artists.

I don't even remember.

It's so high-falutin, I don't even remember which magazine it was.

That's actually legitimately happened.

It really did.

Because you had correctly talked about the art at Rockefeller Center,

they wanted to demean you and mock you by putting you as a hundredth.

You actually were a hundredth, though.

Yes, I was.

I was the most important man of art.

As someone who knows that, though, I mean, we all know, you obviously know what this world is, right?

Like, it's just a world to promote the hard left.

You know, the idea of political art at this point, the reason why

you can name a few of the conservative artists is because they're so rare, right?

Like, you're right.

You can just be, it's like you know the story because it's a story, you know, say the rarity makes it, yes, Sabo, exactly.

Like, when he comes out and he does one of his, his great posters, and they, they show up at, you know, whenever there's a big Democratic event somewhere,

you know about it, and it's a big story because of the fact that it's so rare that someone actually takes that stand.

I mean, there's a lot of people who are conservative artists that just, you know, they don't get into that world.

Like, we've met a bunch of people who are real artists and known for their art.

However, they don't come out and state their political views.

No, I know one of my favorite artists who shall not be named

and

kind of at a request of him.

Please don't, please don't ever, please don't.

He's a big fan.

He listens every day.

He paints most of his stuff, and it goes for hundreds of thousands.

I can't afford one of his paintings.

I want one of his paintings really badly.

One of my favorite artists

he sells for thousands and thousands of dollars.

He's a huge fan.

He sells a lot of stuff to most of his stuff to the left, to the hardcore left.

And they have absolutely no idea.

And his paintings are very American.

I love them because it's, do you know who I'm talking about, Stu?

They're very American, but not red, white, and blue America.

They're very,

they're subtle.

in their American, you know, when you think of American painters, you think of the eagle, you know, and the flag and a soldier and a jet flying someplace.

Not that.

He does this beautiful, beautiful art, but he can't be known.

He's like,

I'm doomed.

If it ever comes out, I'm doomed.

He's in museums and everything else, and he's had to live in hiding.

That is horrible.

Absolutely horrible.

But if you go to museums, what you're seeing is, I mean, come on.

When I went, they took down the painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware

one year in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

And I went there specifically to take my kids through the art museum.

And one of the things I wanted to show them was that.

But I also went through all of their, you know, modern art and everything else.

I'm a fan of art.

And

we got to where the painting was supposed to be.

And they're like, oh, yeah, it's in a warehouse.

But you know what wasn't in a warehouse?

A bigger painting.

And if you've ever seen Washington Crossing the Delaware, it's like 20 feet by, I don't know, 15.

It's a gigantic painting.

What wasn't in the warehouse was

a piece of art I like to call blue.

And I like to call it blue because I believe that was the name.

on the card blue.

Okay.

Now I went up to read the little card on this entire wall at the Metropolitan Museum of Art because I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be.

And then I read blue.

And I'm like, well, yes, it is blue.

I think it's Sherman Williams number five.

I'm not sure.

But it was entirely flat blue.

It was on a wall I like to call eggshell white.

Now, at some point,

Somebody, and you know this is happening, somebody went, I'm going to paint, I'm just going to paint this thing blue.

I'm just going to take a roller and I'm going to paint it blue.

I'm not talking about Jackson Pollock where the splatters can be, I'm talking flat blue.

I'm looking at the painting now, Glenn.

You see it?

Wow, it's amazing.

It's blue.

It's, well, that is, you're using a shorthand.

And you, because you're so familiar with the world of art, you feel comfortable doing that.

I will call it by its full name, Blue Panel 2.

Blue Panel 2.

Yeah.

Painted in 1977.

Yeah.

Now, I'm guessing that, who's the artist there?

I'm pretending I don't know.

Ellsworth Kelly.

Ellsworth Kelly.

I'm guessing that Ellsworth Kelly was very, very popular on the left at the time.

I don't know.

And

interesting.

And

had at some point said to somebody, maybe his husband, maybe his wife, I'm not judging.

Whatever it is, somebody that he really trusted and went,

I just sold this to a freaking museum.

Okay.

That's how stupid this whole system is.

I just sold this.

It's Blue Panel 2.

Can you understand Blue Panel 2 if you didn't see the original?

Yeah, because if you didn't see Blue Panel 1, right, if you didn't see that.

Yeah.

Blue Panel 1 is a little lighter or darker than Blue Panel 2.

Now, would you like to hear what he was doing?

Not that you don't know, but for the audience.

Yeah, what he was trying to do.

As Blue Panel 2 suggests, he treated color and shape in his painting as synonymous and integral with each other, in keeping with a prevalent mid-century philosophy that illusionism was a denial of paints in flat essays.

This guy spent more time coming up with what the meaning was.

Kelly's conflation of shape and color is especially evident in his inventive exploration of the shaped canvas.

In this case, a trapezoid that is nearly a parallelogram.

This design is based on collages he made on a postcard,

postcard views of the island of St.

Martin, which may account for the painting's seductive blue evocative of sky and water.

It's just blue.

Which is blue.

It's just a blue painting.

That's all it is.

That's all it is.

That's amazing.

I don't think I made a billion dollars off of it.

You know what?

Get over yourself, Huffington Post.

Get over yourself.

It's a scam.

Everybody knows it's a scam.

Gee,

how come the ones that reflect the values of the left are in museums?

And it's just a caveman drawing over here.

Blue.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

All right.

We announced before I went on vacation, and these things are selling like crazy.

This is an all-inclusive, I mean, airfare.

Everything is taken care of.

Food, everything.

So you're going to be on on this cruise with really

interesting historic-minded people.

And me.

Yeah, and Stu.

Welcome to the program.

Not named, but I believe the 101 most important person in the art field is Pat Gray.

Welcome, Pat Gray.

Wow, thank you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

I'm doing well.

Yeah.

My latest piece, I think, is pretty inspirational.

Is it?

I think so.

Yeah.

I call it

black.

Ooh.

Horizontal elegram.

Horizontal elegram.

Yes.

This is one of the days that you're beautiful.

You must be a member of Blaze TV.

You have to see black veal

black from Pat Carrington.

When you were painting that, first of all, how long did that take you?

Oh, my gosh.

17 weeks?

17 weeks?

17 weeks.

Really?

Yeah.

I had to think it through first,

Uh-huh.

Carefully arrange the lines.

Those people who...

What do the lines represent?

I'm sorry.

Horizontalness.

Horizontalness.

Yes.

I see what you're saying.

Right.

But they're not all perfect.

I'm noticing they're not all perfectly horizontal.

And that's the choice.

No, that's the choice I made.

Exactly right.

Thank you for that.

For the reason of.

Well, because we're not all perfect, are we?

And that's kind of my statement in this.

Oh, my God.

So deep.

So deep.

So very deep.

And the reason why

the sun rises and in the extreme extreme north, sometimes it doesn't.

Wow.

Sometimes in this extreme south, is that another painting that you can see?

That you might have another one that will be called

Aqua.

Aqua.

Now, there's some people that don't read the Huffington Post.

Right.

That might look at your painting.

Yeah.

And say that that is just you with a Sharpie five minutes ago.

Wow.

Those are the ignorant, Stu.

Yes, those will be the people that won't be in the museums.

The non-sophisticated.

They will not be in museums.

Yeah.

So I did, it was raining most of my trip.

In fact, every day except two.

Really?

Yeah.

Raining the whole time.

And it was, so it was just, it was just a mud bath the whole time.

So I said always happened.

I know.

And then I got home yesterday.

Did anybody go to the hospital, though?

Wait a minute.

No.

Not that time.

No, there were two doctor visits, but that's because we were all sick for the first five days.

That's incredible, though.

You went through an entire vacation without going to the hospital.

Yeah.

Without me,

anyone in the family.

Yeah.

And nobody in the family went.

I mean, obviously.

There was discussion of it.

There was.

Yeah, there was.

At some point, we're like, should we go to the hospital?

Like, no.

And I don't remember what that was for.

But anyway,

we're in the part of the country where, honest to God, one of the guys

that works with us,

he had to have like 30 stitches in his head.

A drill

broke off, drilling through these giant logs.

And drilling through a drill bit breaks off and he cuts his forehead.

And, you know, the head bleeds a lot.

Yeah.

And so he had like 30 or 35 stitches.

This happens while we're gone.

We come back and his head is just a bloody bandage.

And I'm like, dude, what happened?

And he's like, ah, it's a drill bit.

And I said,

should you go to the hospital?

I mean, blood caked all over his face and this bandage that just looks like it was just like he just took a rag and just tied it around his head i mean that's how bad it looked and he's like no no he said i i went i had to get i think it was like 35 i had to get like 35 stitches and i'm like i don't think you should be here did the doctor say you should come back to work and he said no i didn't go to a doctor

who stitched up your head I just, doctors are a pain in the ass.

I just went down to the vet down the street.

You went to a vet?

You a vet?

Oh, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wouldn't go to a vet if I met the kind that was doing medicine in Iraq.

I wouldn't go to that kind of a vet to be able to get stitches.

He just went to the dog, you know, and he's like, ah, you don't have to wait.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's one way of looking at it.

A huge human line performing before the vet?

No.

Except one vacation.

We did go.

We were in, um, I don't remember, the Bahamas or something.

And we're, we're on the first day of vacation and absolutely everything has gone wrong.

And

I have this splitting migraine headache.

And

I hit my head.

And so I've got a gash in my head.

We just band-aids on that.

And I'm having a horrible day.

Somebody else gashes their head, does the same thing I did, breaks open their skin, and they need stitches.

But he's like, nah, I'm not going.

I'm just going to hold it together for a while.

I'm like, no dude then we're standing out there and we're standing in the sunlight and tanya's eyes are just pinpoint pupils um

and uh and i said i've never seen your eyes like this and she's like oh it's just probably the brightness of the sun i said come over here come in the shade for a second they don't change okay she goes into the dark they don't change at all We go inside and I close all the curtains and I take a flashlight and I'm like, let me see your eyes are changing.

Your eyes aren't aren't changing.

There's something wrong.

To be fair, you are a doctor too.

I'm a doctor.

You can do this.

I'm a doctor.

So I just never seen this.

And so I call a doctor, a friend of mine in New York, and he happens to be a neurologist.

And he's like, okay, Clenn, I don't want you to panic.

And I'm like, okay, I'm panicking just from that.

What do you mean?

Don't panic.

And he said,

that could be very bad.

That could be a brain tumor.

There could be some real problems there.

So you took her to the vet?

So he said, you have to come back right away.

And I'm like,

we're just, we just, we just got, are you sure?

Like, like, you, I mean, there couldn't be anything else.

And he's like, are you guys doing drugs?

And I'm like, no.

And he said, okay, well, then there's nothing else.

And he said, I want you to get CAT scan right away.

Just there on the island, find a place, CAT scan.

So we go.

So she's in this CAT scan.

And they're doing the

CAT scan thing.

And the guy working the CAT scan said, this is pretty cool.

And I'm thinking, what's cool?

And I said, this machine with all these buttons.

So this is pretty cool.

And I'm like,

what?

What?

What?

What's cool?

And he said, this is the first time we've ever had a human in this.

And I said,

what?

It was a hospital.

I said, what?

And he said, yeah, usually dolphins.

Usually we just do dolphins.

I'm like, are you qualified to tell me what should be in her head?

I mean,

dolphin brains and human brains, I don't think, are alike.

Are they?

So we have a lot of,

the doctor kept saying, it's okay.

You can tell me you guys are doing drugs.

And I'm like, we're not doing drugs.

And then he's like, okay, all right.

We're like, it's not drugs.

And he's like, I got it.

You have no idea how boring we are.

We are not doing drugs.

And he's like, have you had any Japanese blowfish?

And I'm like, no.

That's even less ridiculous than us doing drugs.

If we ate Japanfish, still smofish, we would tell you we were on drugs.

So it turns out that I had had seasick, you know, the seasick patches.

And if you even just touch them and you're sensitive to it, it can change the pupils, the dilation of your eyes.

And so it turns out we were doing drugs.

You just didn't even know it.

We were doing drugs without any of the fun

of doing drugs.

Right.

Just cutting out the vomiting.

Which.

Was there any point while you were at the veterinarian that something slipped out of you?

Nothing slipped out of my button.

Did you hear about the stupid criminal earlier?

I heard a portion of that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Drugs slipped out of it.

I tuned in in time to hear slipping out of his anus.

Yeah.

Well, that was

the actual text of the story.

That was the text of the story.

All right.

So they wouldn't use it.

But that would would be ridiculous.

Anyway, I got to get because I want to take these things down.

We were talking about the art of the left and the drawings of the right and how it's just propaganda.

And,

wait.

Yes, that's what you guys were doing with Barack Obama.

You were doing it with photography.

You were doing it with the written word.

You were doing it on everything.

Remember all the halos over Obama's head?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And they were like, oh, that's ridiculous.

Oh, really?

You didn't see that?

Mr.

I see all kinds of deep meaning in a blue panel.

So they didn't include me, and I'm really upset that they didn't include my drawings.

And these are just two things that I did while on vacation.

I want to show you the first one.

I like to call this China and Biden playset because that's what it says on it.

China and Biden playset strings included.

It's not finished because I haven't put the

gold and girl action grab hands on it yet.

But you see, that's Chairman Mao as Geppetto

and Joe Biden as Pinocchio grabbing the gold in the cash.

So I like it.

Hunter Biden action figure sold separately.

And this is actually a direct rip-off of a propaganda piece done in the Ukraine.

I just made it more American.

This is Putin controlling the actions of, I like to say that's almost Jake Tapper,

but not quite.

My son says that that is Anderson Cooper.

And I say, no, it's actually more of a Charlie McCarthy, but you can interpret it any way you want.

And the banner underneath is Dems and Peach.

And Putin's controlling the

strings of secrets.

Good, I like those.

You like those?

Yeah.

That should move you up the chart a little bit, I think.

I think so.

And

I think the Huffington Post will enjoy all of these.

Oh, absolutely they will.

And we'll see them in museums real soon.

Oh, my gosh, right around the corner.

Right next to a blue splotched Pat Gray's black.

Black.

Black.

Horizontal.

Horizontal telelogram.

And some horizontal.

There There it is.

And perhaps maybe some

well-known religious icon in urine or some other terrible.

Well, we do have Obama MP,

which we

really do.

Obama and PP, which is.

They went crazy over that.

They went nuts over that.

You put a cross or Christ in PP.

They're fine.

And they put it in a museum.

I put a bobblehead of Barack Obama in PP, and they went nuts.

At least we know know who their god is.

Welcome to the program.

Let me tell you about Simply Safe.

Recent Gallup, excuse me, a recent Gallup survey shows Americans worry more about burglary than almost any other crime.

Burglary is

not that common.

I mean, we're actually in really good standing right now as far as crime.

Crime is going to get worse, I think, as things get worse here in America.

But over 10% of

break-ins are planned beforehand.

Only 10%.

So these are spur-of-the-moment things, mostly.

What turns the criminal away is a security system.

2 million burglaries are reported every single year.

Only 10% was like, hmm, how do we get into this house?

The rest of them walk up, they look through your door, they look through your windows, and they see if you have a security system.

And if it's on,

if it's on, you have one and it's on, they go to the next house.

Yeah, you want to turn it on.

That's a key part of this equation as well.

SimplySafe is the home security system that you need.

It's not a little gadget that, oh, yeah, I can see my front door.

What good does that do?

I mean, that's nice, but that's really not all you need.

SimplySafe has a little gadget.

If you want to see who's at your front door, I love this.

I went over to my son's house, who he has SimplySafe, and he's like, you have to see this.

Look at this.

It shows the, not only the front door, but he has cameras in the house, shows the front door.

If you ring the doorbell, it will alert him, and he can see who's there, even at work, and he can say, oh, you know what?

Leave that package just inside the door.

Hang on.

And it unlocks the door.

He goes in.

It turns off the alarm.

unlocks the door.

The guy can put the package in.

He can see what the guy is doing the whole time, close the door.

He can re-lock it and turn on the alarm system.

It's amazing.

That's a really cool.

Yeah, SimplySafe.

It's more than just a little gadget.

It is the secure system that you need for your home.

Security

the right way and at a price that you can afford and $14.99 a month for the 24-7 monitoring.

It's simplysafebeck.com.

I think it's fascinating what happened over in Europe last week, the results results of the European elections.

It was a real big loss for the European Union.

These

so-called traditionalists, the ones who are not traditionalists, they're the ones who want the European Union to continue to stand, they're starting to be in the vast minority.

These elections, did you follow them at all, Stu?

Yeah, we did a little bit on this last week, and it's a fascinating thing of, I just don't understand the system at all.

Like, it's like, oh, I didn't get the thing I wanted to get done, so I'm just going to resign, and then we'll just have new elections.

And like, it's so weird, this system.

Parliamentary system.

Yeah.

Talking about Britain.

Yeah, with Britain.

And then the EU, the reason why Britain's kind of in the news with these EU elections is the Brexit party won, I think it was 31.5% of the vote.

It was the number one party in Britain.

The party did not exist six weeks ago.

It was created six weeks ago, and now it's the biggest party from Britain in the EU.

It's is fantastic.

I mean, I think which one gets a weird sense of it.

Because there's Nigel Farage, and then there's the other guy, Daniel Hannon, right?

And Farage is the guy who's kind of in with the Bannons of the world.

I think that's accurate.

Daniel Hannan is not.

Yeah.

I mean, I love Daniel Hannon.

He's a great.

He's great.

And Farage has a lot of good, you know,

he's not like a.

He's one of those guys that gets beat up in the media a lot, sometimes, I think, unfairly.

Yeah.

But he was a very big Brexit guy as well.

But there's a couple of different approaches on Brexit.

Right.

But yeah, he's one is more nationalist, more, I can't even say nationalist.

It gives the wrong flavor to it.

I guess one is more populist.

Yeah.

More populist and does have a tinge of race to it.

The other is like the system doesn't work.

The system is just bad for Great Britain.

And

And I think

that one is the Daniel Hannan

side.

Yeah.

He's saying that it's just bad for Great Britain.

Great Britain.

Look, you're for your country.

You should be able to make your own freaking decisions.

This happened in basic things.

This swept Europe now.

I mean, the European Union is in real trouble.

And both.

Both ways, too.

I mean, you've seen this

because a lot of the, there's the, the far left, the socialists, the green parties in Europe also did very well.

And then what they're finding is people just abandoning those, the major parties and going to these more parties that are happening in here.

Everything that is happening in Europe is just ahead of us.

Just ahead of us.

It's going to happen here.

These parties are, it's over.

It's just over.

When it will happen here in the United States, I don't know.

It's harder to happen here because the two-party system controls everything.

But it's going to come here.

This is the Glenbeck program.

No, it's.

I know, but we'll want to disclose that to you.

I know.

It will go away.

We're just sitting here talking about.

I was at a gun store up in Idaho, and

I think it's Remington that's making this new gun.

And we're just talking about...

Stu just said, I said, we got to talk about it.

He said, no, maybe we shouldn't.

I'm like, well, no, but it's in gun stores now.

I mean, you should let me get mine first.

Right.

It's quite an amazing discovery that I made.

And it just shows how little Washington knows about guns and how ridiculous the idea of trying to regulate or stop.

It's just not going to happen.

Because, first of all, they don't understand them.

We'll go there also the elections in Europe and how you can help those who are in real dire need today in Ohio, all coming up in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I don't know if I'm ever going to come back.

One of these times I go on vacation, I'm just not going to come back because I just

learn so much on a farm.

We are fortunate enough to be able to have a farm and

not be in the farmer's position.

These farmers are really going through

really tough times.

I had one farmer, a dairy farmer, try to explain to me

how the price of milk could be

below the cost of production for like the last nine years.

I'm like, that's not possible.

Well, it is if you start to, you know,

screw with the system, if you start to tinker with the free market, then it is possible.

And these dairy farmers, the small dairy farmers, man, they are really, really struggling.

And the farms are struggling all across the country.

Part of it has to do with trade.

But, you know, you learn so much about

our farm is in

this dry area.

It's almost a desert that's brought to life every year by just irrigation.

And so you pray for rain.

And if you don't have the right amount of rain, it's just you're not going to, everything dies.

Everything dies.

If you have rain at the wrong time,

you cut your hay, you cut your alfalfa, whatever, you cut your crop, and then it has to lay there and dry in the sun for a while.

If it rains in those three to five days that you have it sitting there, it's all bad.

I mean, there's just so many things that could go wrong.

There's a joke in the area that we have our farm that it's only rained twice this spring.

And

it rained from February until April.

And then from

April, middle of April, till now, it's been raining non-stop.

So people can't plant their fields.

Now, we planted our fields

in a rare, dry area in between those two rain spells.

So ours is growing, but there's been no sun, so it's not growing enough.

And if we cut it, it's going to sit there and it will rot in the field.

Everybody else, they haven't been growing their field.

They haven't even had them planted yet.

So we're both stuck, but here's how it's all trickled down.

The people who are raising cattle, they don't have feed because they plan on feed until around the end of May or June when the new hay starts to come in so there's nothing to feed these animals it's crazy it's crazy how delicate and and how

how insane it is to be a farmer but when you're a farmer you understand

everything

anybody who is talking about gender identity go spend a summer on a farm

You want to know how things work?

Go spend a summer on a farm.

You're having problems with your son or daughter?

Go spend a summer on a farm.

My son changed

over two weeks.

Getting him out of bed, getting him to do anything is like insane.

He's a 15-year-old kid.

Going all through the normal 15-year-old boy stuff.

Getting him on the farm where he was getting up and actually accomplishing stuff, having to build or mend fences, was amazing.

And it changed him.

I mean, he was climbing mountains.

By the end of the three, the two weeks,

we were over at a friend's house, and he has this big, huge literal mountain in his backyard.

And my son said,

Hey, do you mind if I just climb that?

And he's like, no.

And nobody thought anything about it.

I was not around when he said that.

Nobody thought two things about it.

He's a 15-year-old boy.

Sure, go climb the mountain.

It's a big mountain.

And I come around because it was a big gathering of people.

And I come around the corner and a bunch of people are looking up at the mountain.

And I said, what are you looking at?

I said, see that red dot up there?

And I could just barely make out this red dot.

That's your son.

What?

When did that happen?

He said, what's going on?

Who told him he could climb the mountain?

He climbed the mountain,

came back down.

I was both thrilled and freaking out the whole time.

We don't,

our society does not allow our kids to grow up ever.

I am convinced that our 15-year-olds could be fixing all kinds of stuff, could be actually

really making an impact in a positive way in our society if they weren't so trapped in the schools that are teaching them nonsense.

We treat our kids like they're kids, and it's hard because today's society, everything's like that.

I'm standing around a group of farmers, and no one said,

Oh no, I don't know.

Ask, ask, you know, ask his dad, ask his dad.

They were just like, Yeah, go ahead.

It's just the backyard.

No, it's a mountain.

There's something wrong with our society.

And what's wrong with our society is we have gotten away from how things actually

work.

We're living in this theoretical world.

When you're out on a farm, there is no theory here.

If it rains,

the crops will grow.

If it rains too much, the crops won't grow.

If there's no sun, they won't grow.

If there's too much sun, they'll shrivel up and die.

There's no theory.

We were out

mending fences.

Now, when I say the phrase to you, mending fences, what does that mean?

When you think of mending fences,

you think of what?

Coming together, bringing people together, repairing arguments, and, you know, I'm sorry.

No, no, it's my fault, your fault.

Mending fences.

Well, I've never mended a fence before

until I started stringing a fence.

And then I'm like, I ain't doing this again.

Where is it broken?

Can we just...

tie another piece of barbed wire together and pull it taut again

yeah that's called mending fences

And why do you mend fences?

You mend fences so your animals don't get out and start to graze on somebody else's land.

When your fence goes down, your cow is now on somebody else's land, and

your cow is now eating their food,

their grass.

We look at the phrase mending fences as saying, hey,

you know, we're both wrong.

No, mending fences has nothing to do with that.

Mending fences means build a wall.

My neighbors and I, we're going to get along fine as long as my cows don't go and steal their food

or their cows don't come over and steal my cows' food.

We're going to be fine.

We're perfectly neighborly with each other until one of us needs to mend a fence because,

dude, you got to mend that because your cows keep coming over and eating my food.

You know what we need to do with Mexico?

Mend fences.

Now that's a phrase.

You hear build a wall.

That's horrible.

No, no, no.

We need to mend fences.

in a farming community that means putting up an electric fence

that means putting up barbed wire

so the cows because the cows will they'll stick their head through barbed wire and they'll eat the grass close to the road or they'll eat the grass on the other side of the fence and they'll get their heads in between those fences and they can't get out sometimes

because the grass is always greener on the other side.

You look at these damn cows and you're like, turn around, cow, there's plenty of stuff over here.

Nope,

they want the grass on the other side of that fence.

And you mend it.

And if it's really bad, you do what we do.

We had to put an electric fence up.

Now, imagine putting an electric fence up.

That seems pretty radical, expensive.

A thousand acres and an electric fence?

Does it really work?

Does it shock them?

What does that even feel like to a cow?

No, the cows actually,

they hit it once and then they don't hit it again.

They hit it once.

And they can actually hear the buzz of the electric fence.

There's a warning.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

It's not like a cow's just walking around all of a sudden.

A cow can hear it.

A horse can hear it.

They hear the current and they hit it once and they're like, I ain't going to do that again.

So you mend fences.

Which means keep your stuff on your side.

I like you.

We're good neighbors.

Keep your stuff on your side.

I'll keep the stuff on my side that's mine.

And we'll get together, you know, at the town hall or, you know, at church or wherever.

We'll see you in the grocery store because we're good neighbors.

But what stops us from fighting is knowing that there is a fence there.

This is my stuff.

That's your stuff.

We can trade.

We'll help each other.

Let's stop talking about building a wall

because that has all kinds of

images, the Berlin Wall.

Mending fences is what we need to do.

You can have a tough fence, it could be a giant wall, it could be an electric fence,

but you need one,

and that's how you come together.

The side that's having the problem

mends the fence.

All right.

People, you know, you don't give stuff away,

you know, that you really want.

You don't put it out on the curb because you know you put it out on the curb.

Somebody's going to come by, and you're like, all of a sudden, you're like, wait a minute, maybe that couch wasn't so bad.

Somebody just took it in 10 minutes.

People put stuff out on the curb, and that means, you know, it's either trash or you can come and, I guess, go through it.

You don't do that with stuff that you really need protected, the things that you value.

You don't put your information out on the curb, but that's what you do every single time that you go on a public Wi-Fi.

You go on public Wi-Fi and you're putting your information and your life out on the curb.

And there are people out there that want that damn couch.

And you're like, I don't really want it.

I don't have that much to lose.

You actually do.

You actually do.

And there are people, you go to a coffee shop, there are people that want that information.

So what you need is a virtual private network, a VPN.

Norton is the company that we've come to associate with, you know, security online.

Norton has now developed a VPN.

It starts at $3.33 a month if you sign up for the year.

It is a virtual private network.

It means that you are secure when you are online.

Nobody's going to come in and be tracking you, and

Facebook is not gathering information on you.

Go there now, sign up, you download the app, you sign in once, and now you're online with all your devices through a virtual private network.

We break for 10 seconds, station ID.

You know, every time I

leave the city and I go out into the real world,

because I don't think cities are the real world anymore.

I really don't.

I just have a different perspective, and I like it so much more.

I like living in a city and having access to everything, you know.

But I don't like living in a city, having access to everything.

We live in a paradox right now.

We know what's causing a lot of our problems.

Social media.

Absolutely.

Remember all the talk about how damaging talk radio was to society?

Talk radio is destroying our country, our national dialogue.

Really?

How come we're not hearing that about social media from the same experts?

And we all know it.

When it comes to social media, we all know we have changed because of social media.

It has changed us.

And even the people who have developed social media, they're not on social media.

They don't do it because they know it changes their family.

It's really revealing when you think about it that way.

It really is.

I think, too, there's an element of it.

And

being in this business in particular gives you, I think, a unique window into it.

And that, like, if you're in radio or television, you've been in it for, what, a thousand years, Glenn?

Thank you.

I've been seemingly a thousand.

Not that much less anymore, it feels like.

But it's like you know when you're in radio, for example, that most of the people around you are generally speaking insane.

Like, this is just a known fact of television, radio, any, I think, entertainment industry.

Basically everybody you're surrounded by is insane.

And you're probably insane too.

Like there's a certain insanity that leads you into this world.

And there is some sort of defect.

Yeah, I think it's true.

It is.

And what's interesting is as you go through your life in entertainment,

you look at the world completely differently.

Like you're constantly mining it essentially for material.

I mean like you're mending fences.

Like, most people go out and they freaking fix the fence and they go back inside.

You're looking for some analogy.

And you're not doing it intentionally, just part of who you are now.

You're looking for what is the larger meaning?

How can I explain something interesting based on this?

It all happens.

And in a way, you're looking to take what's in your life and turn it into engaging content.

That's what you do.

And

I think part of the sickness with social media is now everyone is in the broadcasting industry.

Every single person person has their own show.

And that brings weird things out of people.

It does.

It makes you.

I mean, you've heard like, you know, Howard Stern's doing this big

media tour.

I haven't read it yet, man.

It's really good.

Is it really good?

It's really good.

He's doing this big media tour.

And then people, one of the things they're trying to do, the media is trying to

do what they, you know, do all the time to politicians.

And they're like looking back at his past works and past jokes and past comments and trying to pick the worst ones out and say to him, hey, like, you know, you're a bad person and we shouldn't allow you in the mainstream.

Look at this thing you said in 1991.

It's incredible from the same people who praised him.

I mean, the entire thing is a genius.

But what's interesting about it, too, is like, you know, his response is like, look, I do a show in which, yes, it's me, but I'm also trying to incite reactions out of the audience.

That's my job.

Well, now that's everyone's job.

Everyone hops on Twitter and is trying to incite reactions out of the audience to get retweets or whatever else.

I think this was in my last book where I talked about the problem is

everybody was focused on talk radio and how bad talk radio is.

But when I first got into radio and talk radio,

I had to develop an audience.

Now my audience has an audience.

So everyone, and I don't mean everyone, but I mean so many people are developing audiences.

They worry about the clicks.

They worry about the likes.

How many people liked this?

How many people shared this?

Blah, blah, blah.

That's you looking at ratings.

So everyone who ever said, all these talk radio people, all they do is they look for, they're saying it for ratings.

If you're liking, sharing, or worried about clicks, you're in the same boat.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

We'll get into that tonight.

Blazetv.com slash Glenn.

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where extreme weather was 20 days of sunshine.

The only thing that we had

in regards to natural disasters that I recall, I remember I was about 17 years old, I think, when Mount St.

Helens blew up.

And I was on the other side of the state, and I heard it.

It shook the windows.

But on that,

really nothing.

I mean, we don't have a fly problem or a mosquito problem.

It's pretty sweet in the Pacific Northwest.

You move around the country and you get a real sense of how different people are and how different the areas are.

And you start to appreciate weather.

I remember because we didn't, it rained all the time in Seattle, but if you have ever been in Seattle or lived in Seattle, you know it doesn't ever rain really hard, it's just always misty and drizzly.

And I remember 18 years old moving out to Washington, D.C., and people must have thought I was crazy.

I'm 18.

I'm

in this rental apartment that I had an Apple box, a little like 12-inch screen TV.

I had a mattress and a refrigerator full of beer and macaroni boxes.

That was it.

And

it rained in August, and it rained like a Washington humidity thunderstorm.

I had never seen lightning before.

We have what's called,

I can't even remember now, sheet lightning.

It would be up above the clouds in Washington State, so you never saw a bolt.

And I stood out and, like an idiot, stood out in the rain just watching these bolts come down, thinking, this is unbelievable.

The one place that I have lived that scares the hell out of me is Texas.

Because they have one weather event that is completely unpredictable and so destructive, it's terrifying.

They're tornadoes.

When a tornado goes off here, and we're in

kind of a suburb of Tornado Alley,

when we have tornado warnings that happen, and when they happen,

at least for me, it still freaks me out in the family.

Means get into the center of the house.

Like, well, oh, okay.

All right, the center of the house.

Where there's no glass.

Oh, okay, sure.

That's going to.

I don't know if you know this.

It's up above the house.

It could set down in the middle of the house and suck us up into it.

And they are so random.

If you've ever seen the effects of a tornado, something on one side of the street can be absolutely fine.

And a corner of the house across the street is completely gone.

They jump, they jump fast, and the destructive power is unlike anything I've ever seen.

A massive tornado tore through Dayton, one of Ohio's largest cities, last night, levels home, leveled homes, entire apartment complexes, knocked out power, knocked out water, tens of thousands of people, about 140,000

people in this area

trying now to figure out their lives as this tornado, massive tornado, just hopscotched across Ohio.

Last week, it was bad.

Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio now, destruction all across the country,

Oklahoma.

And it's been a busy week for Mercury One.

And to tell us what we can do is Suzanne Grishman.

She is here.

She is the

executive director of Mercury One.

Welcome to the program, Suzanne.

How are you?

I'm good.

Good morning, Glenn.

So I know you guys were out last week for the storms in Oklahoma.

What do we have going on, and what do people need?

So it's been a busy week for our partners on the ground.

People need food.

They need water.

They're mucking out homes right now.

A lot of the areas have been flooded very badly in the Midwest.

But the trail, the devastation of destruction is really what's the worst right now on the ground.

We have Team Rubicon working real hard.

A lot of our veterans that volunteer their time through Team Rubicon, they're deployed all over the Midwest right now and they're responding.

For people who don't know what Team Rubicon is, this is the greatest charity.

It is, they're all veterans.

And these veterans, you know, they come home and they feel like they're not making a difference and they want to make a difference.

And Team Rubicon is usually the first on the ground and they're the last to leave.

There's a lot of people still on the ground with Team Rubicon with Hurricane Harvey still, which amazes.

It's amazing.

And so they come in and the first thing they do is mock out homes.

And if you've never had to do that, it's an awful experience to do it for somebody else's house.

I can't even imagine doing it for your own house.

But Team Rubicon is great.

Operation Blessing is there.

really food and disaster relief kind of they are food disaster relief they actually are a volunteer organization as well so they go in with people and they work through some of the local churches there and they try to lift people up in a time of crisis and you can imagine a lot of trauma.

Minuteman Disaster Relief and City Impact.

What Mercury One does is we give 100% of whatever we collect to these charities.

We've vetted these charities.

We've worked with these charities.

We know that this is actually, your money is going to the right place.

Nothing against the Red Cross, but

you're funding sometimes their phone system when you give to the Red Cross.

This, we know, 100% goes to these impacts.

And

you can go to natural disasters if you want to just fund natural disasters.

We know that that money will go right directly to the people and not to some big institution.

And so we really need your help.

You can go to mercury1.org, donate to our humanitarian relief fund.

Did you see also,

Suzanne, there was a story that came out today that says, here it is, genocide of Christians reaches an alarming stage.

Christian persecution is now, quote, at near genocide levels.

This is according to a report in the BBC.

A lengthy interim study ordered by the British former secretary,

blah, blah, blah, says one in three people around the world suffer from religious persecution, with Christians being the most persecuted religious group.

That's crazy.

It is unfortunately the truth.

It is happening all around the world.

They're saying that nobody is talking about it and they're not talking about it for politically correct reasons.

And so, which is the wrong reasons.

This is when you do stand up

and take a stand.

That's exactly right.

And I know we're doing a lot around the world on Christian persecution.

You can get involved on that at mercury1.org.

And one last thing.

We do these pop-up museums

and

the collection at Mercury One has grown is quite an amazing collection already and it's about to get even bigger as we move forward.

But we're also partnering with other museums, the African American Museum in Dallas, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, the Frontiers of Flight Museum, the Dallas Historical Society, the Old Red Museum, blah, blah, blah.

And

we've partnered with them to put together something called 12 Score and three years ago, based on Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Fourscore and seven years ago.

It's now been 12 score and three years ago that our founders got together and said, hey, we have an idea for a country.

And Lincoln had a goal.

And Lincoln's goal was, can we actually do all men are created equal?

Can we free slaves?

It's been a fascinating journey, and many people will focus on the really bad things about slavery or they will take it out of context.

It's important that context is

put in around slavery so you really truly understand what was going on and how it affects us today.

But also those who did something with their freedom, those who said, I'm not going to sit around.

I'm free now.

What am I going to do with it?

We look at the Gettysburg Address.

We'll be here, the Emancipation Proclamation coming.

That's amazing stuff that you will be able to see.

12-score and three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity.

And when does that happen?

So it's going to happen on the 29th and 30th of June, and then we'll be also here the 4th through the 7th.

So come spend your 4th of July weekend with us.

They can go on a tour with you too, Glenn.

I know.

David Barton is going to be giving tours.

I'm going to be giving tours.

Stu will give his usual crappy tour where he he really doesn't know anything.

I'm just saying, if you don't want your kids to learn anything, you just want to have fun, we're all on the Stu tour.

That's what I do.

But anyway, grab your tickets now.

You can get them at mercury1.org

and just look for 12 score in three years ago.

And come see us as we open up the studios again

this year for a

really fantastic

look at American history and the promise of unity that has not been fulfilled yet and what we have done in the past and what we need to do in the future going forward.

Thank you so much, Suzanne.

I appreciate it.

You're welcome.

All of this can be found at mercury1.org.

And by the way, if you don't have any money that you can donate, that's okay.

We will take your prayers.

The prayers for all those who are affected and all those who are going out trying to heal those communities.

We could really use your prayers.

All right.

Patriot Mobile is our sponsor this half hour.

Patriot, I'm sorry, it's what?

SimplySafe?

Okay.

SimplySafe.com is our sponsor.

And SimplySafe is

a great alarm system for your home.

SimplySafe will keep your home protected the smart way.

Now, this was an amazing company that I think had five employees a few years ago, 10 years ago when they first started with us.

Now they are changing the industry.

I think they're one of the largest

security companies out there now that is, they're just changing everything.

There's no contracts.

There's no wiring of anything.

This is just not a gimmicky device.

In fact, they've just upgraded to now they'll give you, I think it's, are they still doing it?

Yeah, you get a free security camera when you order now.

Those security cameras are really important because,

and I didn't know this, when you call, when your alarm system goes off and it calls 911, your home goes at the bottom of the 911 calls, okay, because it's automated and it's usually just something has triggered it.

However, with SimplySafe, they can verify that somebody has tried to break in or is breaking in, and they have the photographic evidence.

And because they have that photographic evidence,

SimplySafe is the only security company that puts you on the same footing as IBM because when IBM has a break-in, they have somebody that's monitoring the cameras and they say, yes, we see the person and they go to the top of the 911 call.

Now your house will go to the top of the 911 call.

SimplySafe is the only company that is offering this.

SimplySafebeck.com.

Go there right now.

You'll get a free security camera when you order.

It's $100 value.

You'll have eyes on your home 24-7, video evidence if somebody tries to get in.

Get the free security camera now at simply safebeck.com.

That's simply safebeck.com.

There's a real change that happened over in Europe.

If you look at it country by country, Angela Merkel's middle-of-the-road governing coalition lost significant ground.

She's holding on.

She says she's going to hold on until I think 2021.

But that's to be seen.

The Green Party surged, and the far-right made some modest gains.

In France, it was the far-right that surged and handed President Macron a massive defeat.

France is in trouble.

France is in real trouble.

United Kingdom, the two long-dominant parties took a hammering, while the new anti-EU party, the Brexit Party, won the biggest share.

Would you say 30 more seats?

I think think it was 31.5% of the vote.

So they're the biggest.

That's crazy.

They did not exist six weeks ago.

How insane is that?

The Interior Minister

of Italy, his far-right party, won the Italian vote, quadrupled

their representation.

In fact, he, now the prime minister, said,

Italy's not going to change an awful lot, but the EU begins to change tomorrow because of the vote in Italy.

The socialist has always won in Spain.

In Poland, it was the right-wing party that was the big winner.

Romania, the national coalition lost ground there.

In the Netherlands, Gert Wielders,

his right-wing populist, lost all four seats that they did hold.

It was the center left that pulled off a surprise victory.

A lot of these were real surprises.

In Belgium, the extreme right anti-immigrant party made a massive surge in

Dutch-speaking Flanders, while Greens made new inroads in Brussels.

The good thing is when you have parties who are kind of in the extreme in Europe, they never wind up fighting.

No, the socialists and the fascists,

they never fight.

Nice relationship they usually have.

Let's see.

Portugal,

probably almost nobody showed up.

It was historic low turnout in Portugal, and the socialists who have been governing continue to govern there.

Yeah, that was one of the things that they said about these elections.

Basically, it's a way for these countries to kind of give their state of affairs how they feel without having to feel massive repercussions from it because they don't have as much control over their daily lives.

So they wind up turning out a lot more,

a lot differently than the national elections go.

So the populist Euroskeptics in Finland, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Austria

all kind of surged.

Ireland still counting their votes.

Seven.

Eight.

What Europe said last week was interesting.

There was a surge with socialism, but there was a bigger surge with nationalism and anti-EU.

And I think that's the one thing that no politician is really paying attention to.

They're all looking to socialism, but they're not paying attention to what people are actually feeling.

This is the Glenbeck program.

How can so much of the country, so much of the world,

feel so differently than perhaps you do?

Well, first of all, they don't necessarily feel differently than you do.

We're being made to believe that we have huge differences, where I don't think we actually do.

And I want to start with the abortion debate and then what Gillette has just put out,

a new razor commercial.

And you're going to learn a lot, America, on how we should be.

That's coming up in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So, consumer advocates are raising the alert about a social security imposter scam.

Scammers are using technology to spoof your caller ID,

making it look like the Social Security Administration is calling.

Then they warn you that your Social Security number has been suspended because of suspicious activity or it's been used in a crime.

And so, this has led 76,000 people to complain about social security imposters because what they're doing is they're saying, can you verify your social security number?

Just go ahead and read it back to me.

Don't do that.

No, no, they should have your social security number.

Anyway, cybercrime is on the rise and LifeLock stands against it.

They detect a wide range of identity thefts like your Social Security number being on sale at the dark web.

And they have a U.S.

based specialist that is going to fix this with you, do everything they can.

And that's really, to me, that's where the rubber hits the road.

Calling me up and saying, hey, somebody stole your ID.

Well, that doesn't help me.

Somebody saying, hey, somebody stole your identity, and

we're going to put a specialist on it to fix it.

That means something.

That's what LifeLock does.

Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but they can see the threats that you might miss on your own.

you know

what happened in the elections last week in Europe took a lot of people by by surprise.

And it took people by surprise exactly the same way the Donald Trump win took people by surprise.

And it shouldn't.

Because what the EU is, is an artificial entity.

It was an entity that was maybe started with good intentions.

It was started because after World War II, they were like, okay, these countries, it's, you know, Belgium, you're not really even a...

country or a waffle house at best.

And, you know, we're just just going to put you into one group.

Well, the Belgians are like, yeah, we do make waffles, but we also do a couple of other things that are really cool.

And

the EU was starting to erase those things and starting to call people names.

You're a racist if you were a proud Belgium.

You were a racist if you were proud of your Swedish flag.

Well, that has nothing to do with racism.

And this is by erasing and folding everybody into this artificial EU,

people started to push back on it.

That doesn't mean that they hate France or hate Italy.

It means that they're proud of who they are and they don't like

this artificial argument

that they're racist.

That's only making things worse.

No.

We just don't want to be controlled by a foreign body.

We don't want the Germans telling us in France what to think or do.

We're different.

Doesn't mean we hate Germany, but because it's been set up this way and because the media and everybody else has been saying, well, you're a racist if you believe this, the Bubba effect is coming into play in Europe.

The Bubba effect is really happening.

And you can see it in things like

Nazis punching Nazis.

We all know punching Nazis, punching anybody is wrong.

Yeah, but you don't get that reaction from the left because they say, well, you know, punching someone.

I mean, you're like, look, the Nazis deserved it.

Sure, punching people is wrong, but

they deserved it.

And someone needed to stand up.

And you're not going to step in and tell us we can't do that.

And that is the effect that's, you know, it's been long rumored that it would happen to somewhere, you know, in some southern

city.

And after some, you know,

a bunch of racists would be involved in it.

And

it's been the opposite.

It's been in, you know, san francisco where you're seeing it happen but the point is like you people get to that level where they don't care anymore and they know they know that for instance are nazis a problem yeah

are nazis really one of the biggest problems in the united states no but there's a rally scheduled this this uh week weekend in uh for the kkk it was in

headlines everywhere uh illustrated

i thought it was in dayton i thought it was in ohi someplace like nine people showed Nine people.

Nine.

Endless coverage.

Previewing an event where nine people show up.

Now, there should be zero people.

We all realize that, but you can't account for stupidity that much.

I mean, like, you can't, you're not going to be able to find, you know, there are racists.

There will always be racists.

There will always be racists.

And we, do we like them?

No, we don't.

But we don't blow it out of proportion.

And that's what everything, that's everything right now.

Everything is blown out of proportion.

And what happened in Europe is happening here and is going to continue to happen on a bigger and bigger scale until we either get it or destroy ourselves.

Let's take abortion.

We're most people on abortion.

Most people are, look, I mean, I don't want to, if there's rape or incest, I don't.

Yes, it's a baby, and I don't want to even think of it that way.

Most people,

and I'm giving the benefit of the doubt on this, because I don't think this is most people, but it's close.

But I'm going to throw the scale in their favor.

Most people are safe, rare, and legal.

That's where most people are.

And legal for a short period of time.

Short period of time.

Short period of time.

When, you know, when you're into 25 weeks,

dude.

You've already carried the baby.

What kind of scars are you...

I mean, hello?

What are you talking about?

so if you were raped or there was incest and and you know you that's where most people are that's not where

that's where i want to be

but it's not really where i think i am i i life is life

and i'm changing on that and people are changing and if you have when you stop changing you're dead

you're either dead physically or you're dead mentally.

If you're not changing, if your views aren't evolving someplace, you're dead.

Why get up in the morning?

You're not learning anything new.

So the problem is,

is that just like the EU, you are either in the EU and for the EU or you're a racist.

That's not true.

That is not true.

And people have had enough of it.

And it's not going to end in a good way

when it comes to abortion.

You either hate women or you're for whatever the latest is,

right before birth, right after birth, two years after birth.

You're either for that

or you hate women.

It's not true.

And here's why it's effective for the left, because they always make it about that one person.

They make it about a story.

For instance, does anybody think giving your kids

access to

gender and hormone treatment is a good thing as a parent?

Does anybody think that?

Now, what they want to do after they went, your brain stops developing, you're fully developed, I think at 24,

you know legally 18 okay you're on your own you can do your own thing whatever

but I would caution that you don't do anything when you're a kid that lasts forever we don't we don't let our kids go into a tattoo parlor you know at at five or six or eight why

why

Because it's permanent.

Don't make any permanent decisions.

Don't let your kids get married at nine.

Why?

It's not about sex.

It's about they're not fully developed.

They can't make that decision.

Now here's Gillette framing

gender therapy in a completely different way.

And when they do this,

how do you argue?

Here's, yes, the sexist razor company trying to show you just how evil you are.

Listen.

Growing up, I was always trying to figure out what kind of man I wanted to become, and I'm still trying to figure out what kind of man that I wanted to become.

I always knew I was different.

I didn't know that there was a term for the type of person that I was.

I went into my transition

just wanting to be happy.

I'm glad I am at the point where I'm able to shave.

South, south, north, north, east, west, never in a hurry.

Right.

Now don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

That's his father.

Everything is about being confident.

Oh, you're doing fine.

You are doing fine.

I'm at the point in my manhood where I'm actually happy.

It's not just myself transitioning, it's everybody around me transitioning.

Whenever, wherever, however it happens, your first first shave is special.

Gillette, the best a man can get.

Now, how do you argue about that?

You see that.

And if you say, wait a minute, wait a minute, can we not jam transgenderism down everybody's throat?

You're immediately a hater.

Why?

Well, the feeling of that is nice, right?

It's a dad and his kid, and they're having a nice moment.

And, you know,

how can you fight against that?

So I read this story.

I didn't see, that's the first time I've seen the commercial, but I read the story.

And when I read the story, it was an anti-Gillette stance.

Okay.

But as I read the story and I read the transcript, they're selling love.

That's what they're selling.

They're selling love.

Just like they sold love.

Who are you to judge?

You're going to stop?

This is about love.

Love always wins.

No.

No.

Gay marriage was not about love.

If it was about love, we should have said the federal government shouldn't have anything to say about anybody's marriage.

Because love, if you love a tree and you want to marry a tree, marry a tree.

It's not the government's business.

But it wasn't about love.

It was in some particular cases, it was about love.

It was at the individual level, in most cases, about love.

But in the political arena,

at the level of the activist, it wasn't.

It was about change, not a change in me, about change in everyone else.

It's a change of everyone else.

You now must agree with me.

So we've just taken, you must agree with me, gay marriage is wrong, to you must agree with me gay marriage is right

neither of those is good

because it rules out people being different

I may not hate people who are gay

I may not hate people who are

who are married

But that doesn't mean that

I want that in my life, that I want to teach that in my life.

It means I'm tolerant of people who are different.

But are the people who are different than me tolerant of me?

In my particular case, yes.

Unless they are politically motivated, yes.

Every gay person I personally know, we don't have a problem at all.

None.

Married, they have children.

I don't care.

They're my friends.

That's the way it is with most Americans.

But

you are made to feel like you hate.

If you're not for abortion in the extreme,

you hate women.

If you're not for hormone therapy for your six-year-old, eight-year-old, fifteen-year-old, you hate people who are different than you.

That's not true.

That's not true.

If you don't agree with them on abortion up until the last minute of birth,

you're pro-life, which means you're a hater.

And I want to talk to you a little bit about how that has been flipped around on us so much

that now

People want to be

pro-choice,

even though they're really not.

They're more pro-life than a lot of Republicans.

But because this media has made this, has done such an effective job

that you, if you are truly pro-life and are willing to say it,

you are made to feel completely alone, even though many of those people who are pro-choice

may in some cases be more pro-life than even you are,

but they fail to recognize it, and they certainly won't admit it.

We have a new sponsor this week.

10-second station ID.

Some of these stories are so bad and just devastating if you're a parent to listen to.

When they go through these transgender procedures early on in life,

and this one's actually a little bit later than some of the stories you hear normally, but listen to this story.

This is from someone, a parent whose kid went through this.

At age 16, my daughter ran away and reported to the Department of Child Services that she felt unsafe living with me because I refused to refer to her using male pronouns or her chosen male name.

Although the department investigated and found she was well cared for, they forced me to meet with a trans-identified person to educate me on these issues.

Soon after, without my knowledge, a pediatric endocrinologist taught my daughter, a minor, to inject herself with testosterone.

Oh my gosh.

My daughter then ran away to Oregon, where

state law allowed her, at the age of 17, without my knowledge or consent, to change her name and legal gender in court and to undergo a double mastectomy and radical hysterectomy.

Oh my gosh.

My once-beautiful daughter is now 19 years old, homeless, bearded, in extreme poverty, sterilized, not receiving mental health services, extremely mentally ill, and planning a surgical procedure that removes part of her arm to construct a fake male appendage.

That is, I mean,

how devastating for a parent to go through that, not to mention what's happened to the kid

going through that.

So, is that love?

Is that love?

Is that the compassionate part of this

argument?

That doesn't seem like it.

And, you know, stuff like this, I think, is as important as what the left tries to do.

It is, because the truth is somewhere in between.

The truth is some people, some people are born differently, okay?

And

in time, they might want to live another life.

Is it healthy to say you're a man when you're really a woman?

I don't think so.

But I'll have compassion on people like again, like Caitlin Jenner.

I felt horrible, horrible that this guy that I grew up with was tortured his whole life.

That's not compassion either.

But just using him politically

and saying, oh, beautiful woman, when in reality, he's not a beautiful woman.

He's not.

Sorry.

How dare you?

I know.

How dare you?

So that's not compassion.

You know what that?

That's the kind of compassion that gets you on,

you know, America's Got Talent when you ain't got no talent.

Yeah, right.

It's everybody going, oh, no, you are a lovely singer.

No, you're not.

And Simon's gonna say it.

There's something, too, about this word: the capitalism always wins type of thing.

It's like, hey, we have this really, you know, difficult issue of transgender.

Your movement is really important to us.

By the way, help us, you know, sell these sharp pieces of metal.

Like, I mean, the Gillette thing is so transparent.

So you're listening to Glenn Beck.

When we come back, I want to talk a little bit more about this and how we're failing to make

the right argument.

Welcome to the program.

There's been some breaking news from the Supreme Court in the last hour or so.

We're going to do our best to wade through this.

We think it's both good and bad for

pro-life people.

The bad part is the Supreme Court decided not to even consider

an overturning of a law that was passed by Mike Pence when he was the governor of Indiana that said you cannot abort based on sex,

well, gender.

I think disability is in there as well.

Disability, which is really remarkably bad, and race, I think, is in there too.

So you can't say, oh, it's a white baby.

I don't want a white baby.

You can't say, oh, well, they're handicapped, so I don't want a handicapped kid.

They've overturned that.

So you can do those things, which

I don't understand yet.

We haven't read.

Clarence Thomas concurred with that, but it's a long

statement.

It's like 25 pages long, so we haven't read it yet, but we will by tomorrow.

And I'll have that for you because I don't understand that.

Yeah, and they're basically race, sex, and disability are the three main ones.

And they're basically saying they have no opinion on that.

They didn't take it up.

You would have an opinion on that.

As the average person, you would have an opinion on that.

Yeah, you know, there's complicated reasons why they do these things.

um and so not necessarily a bad ruling but it you would have wanted a ruling in you know you wanted to want them to hold up the law so that will now have its legal challenges on its own now uh the supreme court did

overturn an overturning yes of the law that mike pence uh did on fetal remains yeah so just to under to make it understandable it went the good way for pro-life people on the fetal remains part of the law which basically says, hey, it's a person, so you kind of have to bury it with all the laws of burying a person, cremate or bury, right?

You can't just, I don't know, you know, sell it for parts or, you know,

put it on, you know, whatever they're doing, whatever, whatever weird, twisted thing Planned Parenthood is doing these days with the remains, they have to bury it like it's a person.

And it's a respectful thing, obviously.

They don't want that to happen because they're trying to argue it's not a person.

So it went to the Supreme Court.

That's a big deal.

Yeah, and it's interesting because I think one of the things it does is it puts

another

burden on Planned Parenthood, right?

So if they're having 10,000 abortions at a clinic, they now have to have 10,000 cremations or 10,000 burials.

But that's not what they really argued.

They didn't argue it was an undue burden, which is one of the reasons why it seemingly went through.

Basically, the law was,

does the government have any

reason to look at how people are buried?

And they said, yes, they do.

And so they upheld the law.

So that one, I think, is good.

And I think it is good anytime Blan Parent has another burden to deal with.

Boy, you know, the way they approach that, I kind of wonder, does the federal government have any place?

Well, remember, this is state, state.

It is a state law.

You know, so that's a whole nother situation.

So there's been some good and some bad on that.

There's still a few big cases.

We can go over this.

Maybe we should spend some time on this because we're getting to the end of the session here.

We're going to have some of the bigger rulings coming out.

Before we move off of abortion, let's just wrap up what we were talking about on abortion and how

we are focused on the wrong things.

And even people who are

really, truly pro-life say they're pro-choice because

they don't want to say that they're pro-life.

Yeah, and they are are viewing it differently.

Yeah, a friend of mine was talking about the pro-choice, pro-life thing, and he says he's pro-choice.

And you investigate these things and you realize that the people even that say that they're pro-choice are so far away from where the debate is actually happening and certainly so far away from anything the Democratic Party is advocating for these days.

He said it was basically the first trimester, which is kind of where Roe versus Wade was.

That's where the ruling initially was,

unlimited ability to get an abortion in the first trimester.

And

he was talking about cognitive abilities and how far along it was.

And as you talk to him, you're like, well, the position he's describing, and what a lot of pro-choice people are describing, is something considerably to the right of what most Republicans are trying to do in their states.

Most, the typical Republican position, and this is different than

the last week or so of debates where people are talking about Alabama going for six weeks.

Most Republican states are trying to get a ban on abortion at 20 weeks.

20.

And what we're talking about here with people who consider themselves pro-choice, they're saying, well, I think that it should be allowed up to 12 weeks or 10 weeks.

I mean, the polling on it is really incredible.

As we talk about the first trimester, about 60% of Americans think abortion should be legal in some form.

And the reason why, I truly believe, is because it's been drilled into our head.

Rape, incest.

I don't want to make that decision.

I'm not that person.

It is the emotional argument there.

Right.

And so I think that is the argument of compassion, people think.

And

it's normal, I think, to be there because you want to say, and it's actually in some ways.

very American to be there.

I'm not in your situation.

Right.

I don't want to make that call.

And that's what people, because it has not been made about life.

So the left gets all libertarian, aren't you?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

We don't want anything to do with our body.

I mean, sure, we want to micromanage this type of straw and how much soda you drink every single day.

Yeah.

But we don't want to be involved in your health decisions.

Sure, we want to take over the entire healthcare system.

But gosh, you and your doctor, that relationship is so important.

It's so insultingly fake.

I mean, they don't argue this point on any other issue.

But it works for a while.

Yeah.

It works because if they are there and you keep the argument there,

most people are there.

If you can do that.

Yeah.

So 60% of people in the first trimester think abortion should be legal.

In the second trimester, generally legal or not, only 28%.

So you're down to an incredibly unpopular position.

So you're an incredibly, you are very much alone if you believe in the second trimester, but the word trimester means there's another trimester that's coming.

And you're at 13%.

13% of people believe in the stated democratic position, right, that you should be able

to

have an abortion in the third trimester generally.

That's incredibly terrible.

And this is a position, can you believe that they have 24 candidates and they can't find one who's going to side with the 80?

I think it's 84 to 13, technically.

84% of people who believe third trimester abortion should be illegal.

They can't find a person.

There's not one of the 24 dozen candidates.

You can't find somebody who's going to stand up and say, yeah, by the way, that third trimester thing, that's a little nuts.

Nobody?

And all they can do is find people who come out and say, well, look, five minutes before,

before birth, yes, it's the woman's choice.

For any reason, the woman's choice.

That is,

I mean, and I think a huge problem because, number one,

people want to describe themselves, oddly to me, as pro-choice, even when they're taking positions to the right of where George W.

Bush was or where,

you know, where most Republican states are, right?

Like, people want to be able to say that they're pro-choice instead of pro-life.

And in a way, it's, it's, I mean, I would not certainly

consider someone who's for abortion in the first trimester to be pro-life.

But when you look about the scale of debate right now, most of the debate's happening in the ninth month of pregnancy, where there's supposedly a controversy and isn't.

And then the rest of it, people are like, well, okay, 20 weeks, that's a Republican position.

Every time it gets trotted out, the media beats on them like they're psychotic.

They just want to steal women's ovaries and use them for sport.

And it's like, well, that's not what's happening at all.

They're ovary pool with ovaries.

Yes.

It's funny.

Ovary pool?

I figured you'd play before because you're an evil conservative.

Right, yeah.

So, I mean, they want to play ovary billiards.

That's one way to go.

But in reality, the conversation is to the, you know, the reality of the situation is if you could, if you went with all these Republican states and they said 20 weeks, you would get rid of...

a massive amount of some of the most horrific things we allow as a society.

And it would not, you know, what what the job wouldn't be done.

And people will say, well, it's just a Trojan horse.

You're trying to get no more abortion.

It's not a Trojan horse.

I'm telling you.

It's right there.

I'm telling you, that's what I'm going for.

Absolutely.

I consider this, all of these things, a step towards never having another one of these happen.

And that's why people will say they're pro-life.

Because they get bogged down

pro-choice.

Yes.

Because they get bogged down in that first six weeks.

And they'll be like, you know, I don't want to make that decision.

And the left will say, well, they're just trying to get rid of it all entirely.

And they're stuck there at that point of compassion.

And because they are compassionate, Americans are compassionate people.

They will look at people who say, yeah, the night before.

Yeah, go ahead.

Kill the baby the night before.

Kill him.

Let him die after birth.

We tried to kill him and we didn't kill him.

We can let him die.

What they'll say to themselves is, that's not, that's not real.

That's not going to happen.

Yeah.

That's not, it's just that people aren't going to do that.

No, no, no.

People are doing that.

People are shouting their abortions.

People are happy about abortions.

And so they live in this safe but rare kind of world where they're like, it's, it's rare and it should be safe and it should be legal.

And so I don't want to be, I don't want to be pro-life because that means, you know, that

it's all going to be back alley abortions.

And so they get stuck there.

I, I, that, that point is really, it bothers me because I mean,

I've heard people say this before, like, oh, well, look, you're talking about these last-minute abortions.

There's almost none of these things that happens.

It's like 1% to 2% of abortions.

That's one way of thinking about it.

And I bet that way makes you feel good.

How about this other way?

How many 9-11s are you willing to excuse?

Six, seven, eight, ten?

Because that's what we're talking about.

We're talking about tens of thousands of babies that could be born in weeks that are fully formed in the womb that you're killing.

So, yeah, you could say one to two percent because that feels a lot better than saying 7 or 8 9-11s.

I mean,

it feels a lot better.

But let's just say all we did was save the 20,000 kids that were killing within the last few weeks of pregnancy.

And by the way, there's a big story while you Routledge.

And the NPR

has their language of how you're supposed to talk about abortion.

You might have caught a little bit of that.

The one thing they did say in there was don't call them rare.

because we don't know how many of them occur.

That's NPR.

All of that was all left-wing propaganda, except that one point.

They said, don't call late-term and third-term trimester abortions rare because we don't know if they're rare.

So we know we're talking about tens of thousands.

We don't know

how many there actually are.

And even if it was just that, if you could just get off this like little debate thing where you're saying, well, I don't know.

Donald Trump seems to not want them, so I want them.

If you can get past that sort of thing, you could save tens of thousands of actual children.

And wouldn't that be great?

And you know what?

You can go

in front of Congress and say, well, what about these kids that are in cages in the shiny blankets?

They aren't being treated as well as we should on the border.

That's a great point.

Seems secondary to the tens of thousands of kids that are dying.

Seems secondary.

You know, get rid of that first.

Then come talk to me about the color of their blankets.

It's the only way you could

argue about the color of the blankets because they are children.

And

we hear from the left all the time, if we can just save one,

it's worth it.

So

I sat in my old studio chair the other day and wow, was that uncomfortable?

I had forgotten.

I was like, whoa, what happened to the chair?

Then I come in this morning and I sit in my ex-chair and I say the same thing.

Whoa, what happened?

Pat came in.

Now he claims he didn't, but somebody did.

And they adjusted my chair and adjusted it in ways I didn't even know it could be adjusted.

And I had to readjust it.

It's like getting into a car.

You know, you have to reset it for you.

What felt good to Pat was horrible for me.

What feels good for me

apparently was horrible for Pat.

But that's the deal.

We're all different.

And X-Chair knows that.

And so they give you more adjustments than you could.

I've never seen this many adjustments on an office chair.

They are great.

They fit you and they make sure that when you get up, you're not like, oh, okay, I got to stand up.

This is an incredible story the we build the wall

private organization that is building a section of the the border wall for a lot less money and a lot faster than the federal government uh could build it.

What a surprise.

But it is just it's a it's amazing to me

that

the people are so passionate about this.

Our government is so

dispassionate, so anti-the wall,

that the American people have put their own money behind it and hired a construction team to build a secure wall in the El Paso sector.

Also, wasn't there one in New Mexico that they're building as well?

And they're getting it done.

That's incredible to me.

And quite honestly,

I just,

in looking at what happened in Europe,

and I think Europe is ahead of us,

I don't think the Trump mania is going to be tamped down at all.

I just don't think the typical politician is going to be a winning strategy

for the left.

You know, but more bigger government?

No,

we're seeing government doesn't work.

And more of the same Democrat stuff, except on steroids?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

We watch the economy.

As the economy goes, so will this next election.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
