He's So Relatable? | Guests: Bill Jones & Elizabeth Johnston | 2/20/19

Great show today.

First, let me tell you: our sponsor this half hour, our spotlight, is Home Title Lock.

I love Home Title Lock.

This is something that we all really, really believe in because there is only one company that actually stands at the guard,

at the gate, if you will, of this new digital world where when your title has to be changed, your house is sold, your title comes in digitally and goes to one central vault that keeps all of the titles.

So when it comes in and out of that vault, if you have home title lock, they're watching it and going, wait a minute, wait a minute.

The Bex wanted to know.

Did you just sell your house for 50 cents?

Yeah.

Because that's an odd choice.

Yeah, because then they call, are you selling your house?

No.

Okay, somebody's committing title fraud on you.

This is the fastest growing crime according to the FBI.

Really bad.

Get a free check on whether or not this has already happened to you.

Go to home title lock.com, home titlelock.com.

Do it now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Oh,

hello, America.

Oh, we've got a couple of things for you.

First of all, it wasn't misdirection on the new Green Deal.

No, no, no.

It wasn't misdirection.

It wasn't stupidity.

It was actually a plan.

We have a new spin and look at this we're going to share with you today.

Also, we wanted to start with Bernie Sanders because he's such a relatable guy.

He's one of the people.

He's one of the people.

And you know what?

He doesn't have anything in his past like dressing up like a Klansman.

Wait a minute.

New news.

Hang on.

No, he's got something worse.

We start there in one minute.

This is the One Beck Program.

Hey, you want to sell your house?

The best way to do do it is realestate agentsitrust.com.

If you want to sell your home quickly and for top dollar, let me introduce you to Bonnie and Michael.

They're from Ohio.

Say, Glenn, we had our house up for sale a year ago with a whole different agency.

Absolutely nothing happened.

They never called.

They never kept us posted.

Nothing.

It was very frustrating.

So we did what you said.

We registered Real Estate Agents I Trust, and we were surprised and delighted.

Well, that makes me sad that you were surprised that we came through with what we said, but okay.

We received an email from your agent, Stacy, immediately.

She and her team were the most upfront and honest real estate agents we have ever talked with.

Stacy went to work.

Our home sold in two weeks and closed in a month.

Please, Glenn, thank you for offering this service.

Thank Stacey for her outstanding efforts.

We can't thank you guys enough.

This is exactly why we built realestate agents I trust.com.

For that reason, you are welcome.

Thank you for writing to me and

telling us.

This is why we put it together.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Boy, does Bernie Sanders, he knows people, don't you think?

I mean, he is one with the people.

He's almost a mind reader, I feel like.

Right?

If you read this article.

If he were to

open up a shop where he read palms, maybe tarot cards.

Yeah, he would be.

He might be able to afford multiple vacation homes.

He's like, he'd be that rich.

No, he already has that.

Multiple more vacation homes.

Okay, okay, okay, all right.

So, Bernie Sanders.

Now, remember, this is at a time where

if you did anything in the past,

if you dressed up with blackface in 1980,

you're in trouble.

Right.

Even if

you did it as to, in your mind, in 1980, compliment Michael Jackson as a Halloween costume, you're in trouble.

You're in trouble.

Big trouble.

You're thrown out of office.

Right.

Well, no, you're a Democrat, so you're not thrown out of office, but you're targeted for being out of office.

You're targeted for being thrown out of office if you cause any trouble.

Republicans will seize on it.

That will happen.

That's what will happen.

Seize

on it.

On the blackface.

Right.

Now, eight years prior to that, not a problem.

So the line is 1980?

Well, in Bernie Sanders' case, okay.

And it's not blackface.

And maybe that's the catch.

He didn't do blackface.

He instead wrote this in an editorial.

A man goes home, and I'm going to clean this up because I can't read it on here.

Yeah, this is one if you're bringing your kids to school or picking them up or doing what.

You might want to turn this one off.

A man comes.

This is beautiful.

This is poetryable.

It is poetry.

A man goes home and pleasures himself.

His typical fantasy.

A woman on her knees.

A woman tied up.

A woman abused.

Who are this guy's friends?

Yeah, you know.

Maybe I'm out of step with the typical fantasies, but that's not my typical fantasy.

And that's a two-parter.

You are, I'm sure, outstep

with the typical fantasy.

Well, let me talk to you you about my fantasy.

Okay, here's my fantasy.

And I don't, I mean, I know this is like watching grandma and grandpa have sex, but

let me just tell you about my typical fantasy.

I have this fantasy, and I think this is typical of most people, where, you know, a guy comes home and

he's, he's, when he gets home, he can really just let loose and he commits genocide on a race.

Any race, doesn't matter as long as it's not the white race.

Okay.

And

he kills, he starts with women, and they can be of any color, but he doesn't kill, he kills them.

Did you see The Hobbit?

I call this my Hobbit fantasy.

You take, starting with women, you go up to Mount Doom, and you go right to that, you know, that precipice where,

you know, Frodo and the, and, and, uh, you know, Gollum were wrestling, and Gollum fell into it.

I saw that, and I started to pleasure myself a few times just on Gollum.

And then I thought, wouldn't it be better if it was a woman or someone of a different different race?

You know, because they fall into the lava and you can see them.

Oh my gosh, you can see them melt.

Oh, I got to stop talking about it, or I'm just going to get too excited.

But I think that's what we all think as men.

I'm going to change my answer.

You actually are in step with Bernie Sanders and his fantasies.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

Who has

describes them in depth?

Right.

So that's a man's fantasy.

A woman on her knees, tied up, a woman abused.

I don't think that's men's fantasies, abusing women.

I don't know who thinks like that.

There's a few.

They're mostly in Hollywood.

You saw them with a hashtag me too next to their names a bunch of times over the past couple of years.

Okay, a woman, and now he goes on to explain women.

Now he's probably right in line with women, typically.

Bernie Sanders, I mean, you want to talk ladies, man.

You want to talk about a guy who just knows

the fairer sex.

Just look at him.

Oh, man, it's Bernie Sanders.

So he says, a woman enjoys

sexual relations with her man as she fantasized being raped by three men simultaneously.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I know my wife is always, she's like, man, we just had two more guys that were taking me forcefully.

No, I don't think so.

No, just to remind you, we're talking about the words, the actual words, written by a young man named Bernard Sanders.

He was a young man of 85 at the time in 1972.

This is a guy who is running for president.

He's probably the frontrunner right now in the Democratic Party.

He is, by most polling, one of the most popular politicians in America.

And he believes this, at least in 1972, he believed that this was the fantasy of men and women.

I mean, this is a guy who,

this is why progressives believe there's a rape culture.

Because people like this

are saying, look, we know what all guys are like.

No, Bernie, guys and women, they're not like this.

And Bernie Sanders seems to be thinking there's a rape culture.

And if there were, women would be excited about it.

This is their fantasy.

They're thrilled about the possibility of this happening to them.

Can you imagine?

I mean, who can understand the rape victim?

Bernie Sanders?

Bernie, have you changed your mind about this?

And what made you change your mind?

Did that change your ways at all?

Did that change your actions?

What happened to you?

This is so terrifying that he believes the typical fantasy is this.

Even if he says, no, that's not my fantasy, he's projecting that fantasy on the average male.

To be fair, and I know no one would do this for us, and we should at least point this out, that this particular piece was written by Bernard Sanders.

We are not entirely sure if Bernard Sanders and Bernie Sanders, I mean, maybe it's an alter ego, a really clever pen name, but Bernard Sanders wrote this in 1972.

And so if you see Bernard Sanders' name on a ballot, you may want to pause and think about this op-ed a little bit.

So

he talks about women being tied up and women being abused, women being raped.

That's everybody's fantasy.

Then he says, you know, then they get dressed up, they go to church or to their revolutionary political meeting.

Notice that he says, it's their going to church or their revolutionary political meeting.

Meaning, to me at least, that's the church for the left.

Have you ever looked at the stag, man, hero, tough magazines on the shelf of your local bookstore?

No, Bernie, I've never even heard of those magazines.

What bookstore does this guy go to?

Can you look up, Mercy?

Look up Stag magazine or Man Magazine or is it Kiro?

Hero, I think it is, right?

Hero or Kiro yeah it must be hero tough magazine

do you know why the newspapers with articles like girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well what the hell is this guy I mean this is this is beyond this is this is this is like this is the stuff that you would say we went to his Facebook page and he had posted these things

How did we not know?

How come this wasn't alerted?

How come

nobody said what's wrong with this guy nobody alerted anybody that he said these were his fantasies

i mean this is the stuff that would be blocked by the fbi now after you found that he was the killer of some sort of a sex cult yeah this is the this is the the paperwork unearthed in the ted bundy tapes a documentary exactly right did you know ted bundy ran i mean he wrote this can you believe it of course you can believe that he did all these things i mean and by the way the next line says uh to what in us are they appealing?

In us.

I mean, he seems to be

in some odd way, including himself.

Well, I don't know what Stagman Hero or Tough Magazine is.

But we do know what Girl 12 Raped by 14 Men is.

Yep.

He just says, he says, again, this is a quote.

Do you know why newspapers with the articles like Girl 12 raped by 14 men sell so well?

To what in us are they appealing?

What are they appealing to?

Something he's finding appealing apparently yeah he's finding it you know i'll tell you what that appeals to our sense of horror

that's what that's what it doesn't appeal to anything no but it does it well why would why would we pick up that newspaper go oh my gosh we don't go oh my gosh that sounds good we look at that and say oh my good lord what the fear instinct the urgency instinct right the compassion instinct the horror instinct it's not a sexual thing

So he says, women, for their own preservation, are trying to pull themselves together, and it's necessary for all humanity that they do so.

Slavishness on one hand

breeds pigness on the other hand.

Pigness on one hand breeds slavishness on the other.

I don't even know what this means.

This is this kind of Marxist bullcrap.

Yeah.

It's like finding a collection of words.

I mean, he really was ahead of the time.

This is every academic article these days about intersectionality.

In the beginning, there were strong men who killed animals and brought home the food, and

the dependent women who cooked it.

No more.

Only the arrolls remain, waiting to be shaken off.

There are no human oppressors.

Oppressors have lost their humanity.

One hand, slavishness, on the other hand, pigness.

Six of one, half dozen of the other, who wins?

Many women seem to be walking a tightrope now.

Their qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience,

and masochism.

How do you love without being dependent?

How do you be gentle without being subservient?

How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and without getting strung out?

How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover, but sustain

the soul which is you.

I'm sorry, it's an old newspaper font.

I will tell you this, that I do have compassion.

My mother was a drug addict.

She was addicted to prescription drugs towards the end of her life because she was in this middle area.

She was not part of the World War II generation, and she was not part of the 1960s free love generation.

She was in that generation that was the bridge between the two so she wasn't accepted by the old people because she didn't feel comfortable there she wasn't accepted by the young people don't trust anybody over 30 and yet she wanted to be herself and and i have to tell you i i have great compassion for women and men who lived through this time.

My father-in-law is a great example of this.

My father-in-law and my mother-in-law, both on both sides, they both grew up in typical

new immigrant Italian families where the man was the man

and the woman was at home making the pasta

and the men were you know bad a lot of the men were bad not all men but in this particular family

grandpa was not a good guy Okay, and what the men said went

well my

father-in-law grew up in the 1960s where, no, that was not it.

So the older generation was like, what are you, a girl?

You tell your wife exactly how it is.

And well, he wasn't that guy.

And he had to find that middle ground.

And my mother-in-law was a woman who, you know, didn't necessarily want to stay home and be her mother.

She wanted to have a life of her own.

That was a nightmare to navigate, I would imagine.

And they did it somehow.

And so, in some ways, this is what this article is saying.

It's like, look, the people, men and women of that particular time and age are lost.

However,

what he says the old typical male is and

what the new woman is is wrong.

It's wrong.

I mean, at the very least,

every interview with Bernie Bernie Sanders should have questions about what he wrote in 1972.

They should make him explain exactly what he thought and why

he thought that was the way men and women were and whether he believed those things, because that's certainly the treatment that would happen to any Republican.

Can you imagine a Republican with written something like this?

Forget about it.

I just explained to you a very logical way to look at this article and say, look, this is the time and this was the problem.

You could accept that.

As long as as you're deleting the first few paragraphs, you can get away with that.

I could make an argument for it.

I'm not going to because I don't believe it, but I could make an argument that would fit in that time.

But nobody's going to do that for a Republican.

Nobody's going to do that for a conservative.

They won't do it for people who lived 200 years ago.

Why should we do it for somebody who lived in 1972?

And that's the problem, is we're unreasonable.

You're from the Seattle area, right?

I am.

Are you sure?

No, I'm not.

Seattle was ranked the second healthiest place to live in the United States.

And you lived in that area.

And I'm looking at you.

I was one of them that said, you know, because everybody likes Seattle.

They're like, oh, man, you can go on the water.

You can go on the ocean.

So

you could surf if you wanted.

You could boat.

You could, you know, go out and fish.

You can climb the mountains.

You can see.

And I'm like, no, I just like open up the windows on a sunny day and look at the mountain.

I'm not going to climb it.

Okay, that kind of makes sense.

Yeah.

That probably does lead you to actually needing some field of gravity.

So it's like, you know, for instance, salad looks great.

It's beautiful on a plate.

I'm not going to eat it.

Right.

Like that, and that's supposed to be a decoration at dinner, right?

Like they bring it out to show you.

Salad, I believe it is.

My wife says no, but it's like the parsley and the cut-up, you know, the chives and stuff they put on.

They're doing that, so it looks nice.

A little color, a little burst of of color underneath.

Exactly right.

But you're not supposed to eat that, right?

Exactly right.

You want that crap?

You just, what you do is you get it in a field of greens.

I mean, I don't know if crap's the right word.

It's all the nutrients that you need.

All the food you're supposed to be eating, all the food your mom told you about a long time ago.

Blah, blah, blah.

Instead of eating that salad, because it's so beautiful, you don't want to ruin it.

Instead of eating that salad, you can have just a scoop of field of greens.

Now, I'd like anything that you're drinking.

I'd like to appeal to women here

that

you can hide it in other foods.

So, if you're like, if

your husband is a little like me, you can actually hide this in foods and he won't know.

At least that's what my wife says.

So

I didn't tell you the rest of my fantasy.

Okay.

You want to go further because

I'm throwing the people

of any race other than white,

but we start with women over

in Mount Doom, over into the lava.

And I'm sitting, okay, so the cliff, and this is where it gets scary.

This is where it gets scary.

The cliff is made out of graham crackers, and I'm sitting on a marshmallow couch that's on a platform of chocolate.

And so I'm sitting on a s'more that's being slowly roasted

while I'm watching my sexual fantasy of just genocide, racial genocide.

And I don't know what to do.

Do I have a snack and possibly make the cliff a little more dangerous for me to sit on?

I don't know.

And I'm getting fatter and fatter because I'm eating the chocolate and the marshmallow, but I'm not having any of the graham cracker.

That's the sexual tension

in that fantasy.

And you, this is from Bernard Sanders' 1972.

Yeah, I think we're not separate people.

That's the typical fantasy for men, right?

I mean, can you, like, he's saying that the typical man has these, you know, violent,

revolting fantasies.

And typical women.

And typical women as well.

Want to be victimized by the thing.

And this is a guy who's going to come out and tell you that one out of every four women in college is raped and we need to stop this rape culture.

Well, you know, this is in his past believed apparently that women wanted to be raped,

wanted to be raped, as he wrote.

That is a, I mean, they really should like, it should be like, every time he goes on TV, it should say like Vermont senator,

2020 presidential candidate, local pervert.

That should just be under him on every news broadcast.

They should title him that.

I think someone needs to work up a Photoshop of

that occurred.

I think it would be

out of

like.

I don't think anybody would be shocked if you found all kinds of like weird porn on Bernie Sanders.

I mean, would anybody be like...

Unbelievable.

I never saw that coming.

Or would you just look at him and go,

he does kind of look like the creeper.

Yeah, he kind of fits.

I mean, remember, he was in that

own lifestyle back in that day.

I wouldn't say that about just the average person, but this is the guy who loved Aceh, who went to Cuba, went to

Russia for his honeymoon.

So he's got some weird authoritarian stuff and then writes up, you know, hey, we like our women tied up and beaten.

It'll be interesting to see him now as a serious candidate as opposed to some gadfly who's running and somehow doing well against Hillary Clinton.

Will he be able to withstand the scrutiny of being a frontrunner?

No, the Democrats don't want him.

They don't.

They don't.

They don't want him here.

Get it.

Pat Gray and his Singing Cowboys joining us now here on the Glenbeck radio program.

Singing Cowboys actually couldn't make it in this morning.

But you're still good.

You're still not as good with the Singing Cowboys, but you're still good.

Welcome to the program.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You are concerned today about something very important and near and dear to all of our hearts.

Exactly right.

Yes.

Exactly right.

There's actually something that hasn't happened in almost 60 years that just has finally happened again.

Somebody has the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

First time since the Beatles in 1964.

Really?

And of course, it's the musical stylings stylings of Ariana Grande.

Ah, yes.

Which she's the one.

If you were to finger somebody

to break the record or at least tie the record of the Beatles, you would think

Ariana Grande.

She's the one that's going to do it.

You wouldn't think you two.

You wouldn't think Michael Jackson.

Did he have gone Cardi B.

Did people think

he might have gone Cardi B.

Is there a possibility, hear me out, that people thought that this was some, you were going to get some sort of of Mexican food from Taco Bell.

Right.

Yes, it is possible.

Like the Taco Grande.

You're like, I love that.

Of course, I want to buy that.

And you buy a lineage, a CD or a download, and you're like, I don't.

And then you hear.

To be clear, you're not mocking the

pastor that felt her up in the middle of that conference who made that joke.

That's definitely not what you're doing.

No.

Okay, I just want to make sure.

No,

that was an honest feel-up.

Right, okay.

Okay.

It was an honest feeling.

I mean, he wasn't doing it sexually.

He was just like,

I want, what are these bumps on your chest?

I went to a doctor.

I'm a doctor.

I want to see.

It's like Braille.

Pastor, a doctor as well.

I didn't realize he was a doctor, pastor.

He was a doctor, pastor that was blind.

Yeah, that's wow.

Yeah, so he was giving her an exam.

Her chest was in Braille.

Or they could be cancerous.

So

he was doing Braille.

He was giving her exam.

Anyway, so that's great.

So she's overcome that to hold

all three top spots.

Hit me with the songs because I know.

Seven rings.

Huge fan of

Seven Rings.

Oh, good.

That's about the songs.

So that is about the Seven Rings, right?

Yeah.

One to rule them all.

Yeah.

And then it's

that actually is from Seven Brides and Seven Brothers, isn't it?

The Seven Rings song?

I'm pretty sure.

Remember that.

You know, that's great.

Music came in now, 40 years later.

Everybody loves.

Break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored is number two.

And

I mean, that one I can't get enough of.

I have that.

I painted that on a nice little board.

Yeah.

And I put that over my daughter's bed.

Oh, nice.

That's nice.

That's great.

Just that phrase, because I think that's good.

It is good.

Break up with your girlfriend because I'm bored.

And Rafe wants one now, too.

Good message.

So it is.

And then at number three, this is a former number one song,

Thank You Next.

So that one.

Are you familiar with these three?

I probably heard them because my wife has a radio show and probably plays all of them.

I had never heard any of them, so I listened to them after I found out

this special occasion.

Really good?

And oh my, are they, they're, I mean, just really dynamite songs.

You know, I find with Ariana Grande, sometimes she overuses the acoustic guitar, though.

For my taste.

It's a little little too much.

There's so much musicianship

that accompanies.

Like, we got it.

You were trained classically.

We understand.

You know, I have to tell you, I got out of radio in the 90s.

I got out of music radio in the 90s because I couldn't take it.

I know.

It's so much worse.

This is 25

years later.

It's so much worse now.

At least you had, you know, Nirvana and Pearl Jam and a couple of bands.

Stone Temple Pilot.

Anybody.

Played instruments.

Right.

I remember, you know, Britney Spears and that super, super classic of hers.

I mean, I was doing top 40 radio, and I was.

I didn't even care to learn the names of the artist or the songs.

Oh, that much is true.

Yeah.

Oh, I remember.

Do you remember this one?

That much is true.

Do you remember this one?

There's a super super classic.

That was a from somebody.

And

it's a great one.

I love that.

It's a great one.

I love that one.

And break it up every draw.

That was legitimately happening on a radio show.

Day after day after day.

And there was this fake act that he didn't really mean it.

Like, it's just, oh, I'm just this, I'm just a funny guy.

And I'm just, he had no idea what any of the songs meant.

Nothing.

In fact, and didn't care.

He wouldn't even have them on.

He had no idea what it was even playing.

The volume would be down.

Yes.

And then I would have to remind him, hey, 10 seconds, 10 seconds, 10 seconds.

And I'd hear the last 10 seconds of the song and I'd be like, oh my gosh.

That's super sad.

That is classic.

What a super classic dude.

I love that.

That one's going to be living on for decades to come.

He had no idea what just played.

I would love to do that I would love to do a top 40 morning shift.

We should do that someplace.

I'd love to take over a top 40 morning show and fill in and just

fill in.

That would be fun.

We would destroy the ratings.

Oh, yeah.

You're not going to have a show afterwards, but it would be fun for us for a few hours.

It's a little different now, though, because at least

in a lot of cars, you can see the name of the song as it plays.

Yeah.

So you could just take the case in 1995.

I don't even need to tell you what that song was.

You saw it right there on your radio.

Man, was that good?

That was good.

And of course, the band is equally displayed.

The band.

Equally displayed.

That's what we like to call computers now.

The band.

It's embarrassing what's happening.

It's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing.

I challenge people to listen to these three songs and tell me any of them even belong to be played anyway.

I can't.

I am currently hooked on Cardi B.

Are you?

Are you so?

You've got no room for

Ariana?

No.

Cardi B is terrific.

Even though Cardi B is kind of shaking me, she's shaking me.

She is.

Yeah, she came out about

Jeffrey Jump, Jeffrey Jummy.

Just

yeah.

We have audio of her talking about who names their child Jussie.

Nobody.

Nobody.

That's a stage name, and it's stupid.

And it reminds me, it reminds me to go on to the stupid, stupid facts of Empire 2.

That's a stupid show with stupid people in it.

And you should know it because

Jussie, just by the name, you're like,

correct me if I'm wrong.

Somebody comes with an application here and says, I want to work for Glenn Beck, and your name is Jussie.

Do you even get...

Do you even get to the application to the right desk just based on that?

Frankly, I honestly probably think they misspelled their first name and meant Jesse, which is not a good idea.

Like, if that's happening to you

on a resume, it's probably an indication that there could be some work issues as well.

No, I don't.

I don't know.

Do you like it better than Jesse?

Jesse?

I mean, because I'm cool with that.

Yeah, I'm Jesse.

Sure.

Call me Jesus.

Just Jesse.

Call me Jussie.

But Ariana Negrande, she commented on this.

And can we play this?

Because this is Cardi B, and

I don't like this.

I don't like this at all.

Listen, so I'm really disappointed in Jesse Smollett, whatever the f his name is.

I'm really disappointed in him.

I feel like he up Black History Month, bro.

Damn.

She's right, though.

I will say that she's right.

She is

entertaining.

She is an entertaining personality.

She's

I don't know if she's clueless.

I mean, she's figured out something.

I mean, she just sits there and rants on Instagram and makes millions and millions of dollars.

No, but how many people think about what she's doing?

Because she's very honest.

Like, again, she also came out.

We played this clip a couple weeks ago where she came out and was complaining about taxes and how, you know, Uncle Sam is taking 45% of her money and she can't believe it.

It's effed up.

What did they do to get it?

Like, she's great.

It was really

clip.

I'm starting to become a Cardi B fan.

But she said, I know, but she said, here's the thing.

Here's the thing.

People don't know.

They take that from celebrities.

They also take it from anyone else.

You could be a complete unknown, and they'll also do it.

Oh, man.

She's learning.

There's a learning process going on here.

So there's a 45% tax on celebrities?

On celebrities.

It's a celebrity tax.

Wow.

A lot of people don't know it.

And I love it.

I love this because she was like, you know, people say, oh, I don't feel sorry for you.

Why don't you cut down your lifestyle?

this is a quote, I've tried.

I can't meet my bills if I don't have at least $250,000 a month.

Oh, my gosh.

We've all said it in the privacy of our homes, and she had the courage to say it out loud.

She is just, she speaks for the common person.

Oh, my God.

Thanks a lot, Pat.

Pat Gray, at least with all of your Ariana Grande news, every single weekday.

Check it out the podcast as well.

Not to mention Cardi B.

And Cardi B news as well.

And the Cowboys.

And the Singing Cowboys are back next week.

And the Puppets.

They were sick.

The Puppets were sick?

The Puppets were sick.

They got.

I think the Puppets and the Singing Cowboys are hooking up.

There's a scandal going on we shouldn't talk about.

Holy cow.

That's what those bumps on the puppet faces are.

Bernard Sanders wrote a piece about this, and we'll get into that later.

It's diseased puppets.

What are the fantasies of diseased puppets?

We'll get into that.

And the Bernard Sandboys.

I'm just saying.

All right.

Here we go with Relief Factor.

If you're in constant pain, I get it.

I was too.

Constant pain sucks.

For millions of Americans, their pain has dramatically changed the quality of their life.

We're talking about two-thirds of adults still battling recurring pain as a result of an injury suffered in high school.

Right.

My dad was that like that, a football injury and his whole life.

Knees that were

have you ever shown the scar?

I don't want you to unbutton anything, so no.

No, it's caused by Angela Cuevis.

It's right here, right on my heart, right here.

It's caused by what?

Was that a disease?

Oh, my gosh.

Angela Cuevis?

Yeah, is that a terrible

ailment?

It's a beautiful, beautiful woman.

Oh, it's a person.

Oh, yeah.

She broke my heart.

She broke my heart.

Relief factor helps.

No, I don't think Relief Factor will solve that problem for you.

The fact that you carry it around.

Carrying it around since high school?

Sure.

Sure.

Because you didn't do anything athletic in high school, so you couldn't have an old football injury.

No, but I remember

I have a story of seeing Angela at a football game after she broke my heart.

So it is a football injury.

Anyway, relief factor.

Works for 70% of the people that try it.

That hopefully will be you.

It was me, and it's game-changing.

Take the risk.

Try it for three weeks.

It'll cost you $19.95, but if it doesn't work within three weeks, it won't work.

So, yes, you'll be out $20, but 70% of the people who take it, it works for them and it works for me.

Get your life back.

This is the Glen Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck program coming up in just a few minutes.

We have

the Florida school that hires the the veterans for security.

We have that coming up.

Also, Daily Caller just put out a video of me, and they asked me the question last week when I was in Washington.

Why is Donald Trump relatable?

Why do so many people find him relatable?

Here it is.

You have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows, of course, it's Donald Trump.

And he's taking bold, bold action.

Who else does that?

Who else does that?

Why is Donald Trump relatable?

I think the American people connect to Donald Trump

because

he is not processed.

He is not somebody who has been homogenized and run through focus groups.

I remember when I was at CNN, this is 2007, and Barack Obama was starting to come up in the polls.

And I remember saying, the next president we have is going to be, he's going to look like me, he's going to be fat, he's going to be maybe unshaven, he might have a gravy stain, he's like, oh yeah, got a gravy stain, sorry about that, listen, here's what's up.

He might even fart from time to time, but he, but he'd be just like you.

We have gone from the slickest, most pre-packaged president to the guy on the end of the bar stool.

And

it's not just that, he's also successful in the free market.

And so people see him and

he is an image of success.

I've done it.

He may be the most eligible bachelor in America.

Please welcome Donald Trump.

And he's the guy at the end of the bar stool.

So it kind of gives you this, well, if he did it, I could probably do it too.

So

he's that

and then on top of it

because we all fart and we all know it but we don't ever talk about it when he talks about it you're like I love this guy he's he g he farts and he says he farts and and that's refreshing because you are

connecting on that level

Donald Trump is who he is.

He has told the American people, you're not going to take him down.

It's fun to watch the media try to take him down because people have already baked into it.

They know.

He's told them, I'm this guy.

I'm going to do these things.

And

to my surprise early on, he did those things.

I didn't think he was going to do those things.

He did them and more.

And so now you have a fighter, a guy who is almost bulletproof because everybody knows, of course, it's Donald Trump.

And he's taking bold, bold action.

Who else does that?

Who else does that?

What do you think of that?

That's why he's relatable?

I think it's good.

I think if anyone's looking to write a headline for a news story, including that video, you could go with Glenn Beck on Farts, quote, that's refreshing.

So if you...

If you wanted to go with that, you could.

I think that's probably a pretty good summary of the way people feel about Trump, right?

Like he is that unrefined nature that the media obviously hates so much is a big chunk of the reason why people like him.

Yeah.

It was really weird.

They put you in this small little room and they say, okay,

you can answer one of these three questions and it needs to be about three minutes.

And so you don't really have any time to like.

Think about it.

Right, right.

And so I said, I don't remember which question that was, maybe question number two.

And I was like,

yeah, why is he relatable?

Okay.

And then you just riff off the top of your head.

But you've been saying that gravy stain thing, I think, since back in 2007.

Oh, yeah.

And it's true.

It happened.

It really did happen.

I mean, I think your initial vision of that was more like a Chris Christie.

Yes.

You know what I mean?

Like just a guy who's like, you know, falling out of his shirt and just like, I don't care.

Shut up.

This is what's true.

Right.

Trump,

it's a different brand of that same.

He doesn't have the gravy stain.

No.

Where, you know, Chris Christie would have.

But I didn't even know Chris Christie at that time.

Chris Christie hadn't really come to the forefront, at least in my world at that time, as a candidate.

I just knew you can't go from Barack Obama and be that slick without having the pendulum swing far the other way.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

I want to talk to you a little bit about American financing here.

That's just like you to want to talk about American financing at this time.

American Financing is a great company.

I actually dealt with them for a while when I was buying my home.

And I went back and forth with them trying to figure out all these different offers.

They were actually helping me go through offers from other companies

and analyze them.

And

they did say to me, as Glenn likes to point out, that my loan was basically insane, the one I was going for.

Some people might say it was a scam.

Some people said that.

A scheme?

Yeah, maybe some people said that.

Those words were used.

And American Finance said, you know, we can't offer that scheme, that loan to you because we're a little more responsible.

You're right.

But if you want to go get a loan like that, go for it.

But they were honest about it.

And

that's what I love.

They're not commission-based.

They are salary-based.

So they work for you.

They're trying to accomplish your goals in the way that they feel comfortable with because they actually have morals and standards, like some other people don't.

Call American American Financing right now.

Number's on the screen, AmericanFinancing.net.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Manatee School for the Arts, tuition-free, arts-infused, public charter, middle and high school.

Strives for academic and artistic excellence, safe, student-centered environment.

Fully accredited at the high school and

middle school levels by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the only accredited public middle school in Manatee County.

They also are a five-gold seal of

excellence charter school in the state of Florida and have been recognized by the Department of Education as a high-performing charter school.

Are you doing a commercial for these guys?

I just want to let you know they sound like a great school.

But they've actually hired veterans to keep their kids safe.

Oh, no.

Well, who cares about their excellence when they're putting guns on campus?

We actually have the principal, Bill Jones,

to talk about it and see how it's working out and

we commend him for doing it and coming on the program to talk about it.

We start with him in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Stu?

Yes.

I got my 23andMe

genealogy report back.

I got it back last night.

This is big.

Big news.

This is big.

I knew about the French.

There's more French in me than I thought.

Okay.

I thought it was just a little that I could wash out.

There's a lot of French in me.

They have cures now for that.

Yes, I know.

There's a little German in me.

There's Irish and English in me.

But there is 1.3%

of me that is something else that no one in my family ever knew or talked about.

I've never known this.

Really?

1.3%

Native American.

You could run for president.

I am more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.

By a lot.

1.3% Native American.

Wow.

Is that not fantastic?

My son, we found out he's black.

That's That's right.

Well, 0.3%, but he's black.

That is really fascinating.

That's unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

I had no idea.

No idea.

It's really cool what they can uncover from that.

That's amazing.

Think of how far that is.

This is a product that was science fiction in the 90s.

I know.

And now it's available to everybody.

It's really one of the coolest things I think I've ever done.

I can't wait to start really going.

I mean, it's made genealogy so much more fun.

You know,

Where did that come in?

How did that come in?

What, what, what, when, where?

Because I didn't know any of my people were from here

until like the 1800s.

So it had to happen relatively

recently.

Unless we were in Asia.

Came over the land bridge.

Maybe, maybe.

Don't know.

Anyway,

get your DNA kit from 23andMe.

It's unbelievable.

It is really, really cool.

I'm going to start my own casino.

I don't even know if I can, but I'm going to try.

And

stop oppressing me, you white audience.

This makes you 13 times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.

Well,

I wish I would have known.

I could have maybe

been a professor.

Imagine how many books called Pow Wow Chow you could have sold.

Don't put any ideas into my wee little brain, as the Irish part of me would say.

23andMe.com, 23andMe.com slash Beck.

That's the number 23andMe.com slash Beck.

Join me on this journey.

It is really cool.

Really, really cool.

Join me now.

23andMe.com slash Beck.

We need to exploit that.

Oh, don't worry.

I'm not calling, I'm not going to call this audience an audience anymore.

This is a tribe.

And I am your chief.

I am your chief.

And once in a while, we'll have to call a powwow.

I'm just saying.

I can say it because I'm how many more times?

13 times.

I'm 13 times more Native American than Elizabeth Warren.

So there you go.

You're all set.

I'm all set.

I am suddenly offended by cigar store Indians.

I don't know why.

But I'm suddenly very offended by those.

Did you always feel uneasy at that Seinfeld episode?

Did it always make you feel remote?

Well, I always laughed about it, but last night, things have changed.

Things have changed for me.

We have Bill Jones.

He's the principal, Manatee School for the Arts.

I'm sorry to bring you into this mess, Bill.

He has nothing to do with the previous conversation.

Bill Jones, welcome.

Oh, thank you, Glenn.

I appreciate you having me on.

You bet.

So how are things been?

Explain what you've done with bringing veterans in.

Well, it all started when the legislature passed the bill last year that requires an armed guard on every campus, either an SRO or the new Guardian program or you could go with private security, things like that.

So the question of should you have an armed guard on campus was kind of taken out of our hands.

That's not even a conversation anymore because it is required by law.

So when you get to that point, you start asking the question, well, who do we want

with a gun on campus?

And what's the purpose?

And

as you follow the conversation further along, then you have to ask the question, well, what kind of gun are they going to carry?

So,

you know, we looked at

if you're going to have somebody who, and remember that the ultimate purpose for this individual, it grows out of the Parkland shooting and previous shootings.

So they're here in the the the ultimate tragedy situation where you have an active shooter or

assailant who comes on campus threatening faculty, staff, students and so forth.

So if you look at that that far end of the spectrum, the tip of the spear, you know, and everybody likes to talk about it's a rare occurrence.

And of course it is rare until it happens.

And then nobody cares about statistics because it's very real.

Ask the the the folks at Parkland, you know, whether the statistics mean anything at all.

Doesn't matter how rare it is, it's very real.

So, when you look at that,

one thing I said was, you know,

most police officers go through their career never firing their weapon in anger, and most of them go through their career never actually having been shot at.

So, if

we actually had an incident here,

I made the comment one day that I would really rather not have that be the first time that your guard had been shot at because

I've never been in the military I've never been shot at but I have talked to an awful lot of people who have and I know that and I've counseled some of those folks and I know this is a very life-changing experience you kind of figure out who you are how you're going to respond

it's just something And I'm thinking, you know, in the heat of the moment,

I really don't want to have a situation where I have someone who has to stop for a minute and think about this or hesitate, and I don't want to get into

the parkland who hesitated and so forth.

But I think that's a very real concern.

We have a group of individuals, and this is where we came to, who are trained.

They're called combat veterans.

Many of them have been through this.

Many of them have come out the other side better than they were before.

Some of them have difficulty.

We all know that.

But

we looked at it and said, well, you know, if we made that a criteria for hiring, then of course we're going to have people go through psychological evaluations.

Sure.

They go through all kinds of testing.

So that's the first step in this journey, is having people who

understand that in the event of a tragedy like this,

they kind of have an idea of what happens and how they're going to respond.

Of course, every situation is different, but at least they've been through it, and they know that it's survival.

They know there's a mission that has to be completed, and they know that it's their job to go ahead and do that, just like it was in the military.

Bill, I have to tell you,

as somebody who has to have security, I just hired a new security agent, and they go through all kinds of testing and everything else before they're even coming to

interview with me and I had really I had just really good choices in front of me one guy who made it to the final selection had no had lots of military experience but no actual combat experience and I said to him how do I know that you

when the when the gunfire sounds that you're

you're going to run in or you're going to do your job and he said well i'm i'm confident of i'm confident of that and he made a good case and he was a really good guy however i didn't have anything to to show that that is what because i don't know what i would do if i'm if i'm being shot at um you can say well i'll pull my cotton off no you don't know that

combat veterans have been through it and they you know how they're going to react and i commend you for for thinking that way if my kid was in your school uh i would be i would breathe a lot a lot easier knowing that you're going for tested, qualified combat vets.

Yep,

that's who we're going with.

And we're very comfortable, we're very confident.

And this has been a long conversation.

And I spent a lot of time with our chief of police here, who actually has come on our board now after all this

discussion.

And

taking the next step, you have to look at

all these SROs, all these Guardians of the training program and everything, equips them with a 9-millimeter handgun.

And our campus is quite large.

We have very long hallways.

It's quite an expanse across the cafeteria, things like that.

That ain't going to work.

And, you know, I love to use the analogy that if you're standing in front of our art gallery looking across the cafeteria, it's 151 feet.

And I I know you're a shooter.

Yeah.

And next time you go to the range, try taking your nine millimeter and shooting at 150 feet.

No, it's really hard.

Yeah, see how many targets you hit.

And everybody I've ever talked to, all the law enforcement, it's like they kind of chuckle about that.

That's not pistol range.

No.

But my problem is that I will agree that the majority of school shooters

even though it is small, the majority have come in with handguns.

However, the most egregious, the most horrific, like Parkland and some of the others, they've come in with high-powered rifles.

Right.

And my concern is, for example, they're going to come in with

level three body armor, which they're not supposed to have, but you can buy it at pawn shops anymore.

So as I look at that, you know, 150 feet, if I'm standing there, my guardian next to me,

and for some incredible chance, an assailant were to get get through that door, which had to buzz in and everything, and get past.

But if they were to get in, I have this horrible scenario in my mind that I look at the Guardian and say, hey, will you run down there with your nine millimeter and take care of this for me?

And, you know,

that'd be tough for me to ask someone to do that knowing that their probability of survival is going to be pretty slim.

So what are you arming them with?

That 150-foot shot, and I'm just using that because that's that's our distance, we know that it's much more capable.

An AR-15, 150 feet with a decent sight on it, is a piece of cake.

In fact, I've talked to my guardian and,

you know, as an expert marksman for the military

who goes out to the range virtually every weekend to keep in shape,

it's like he said, you'd have to try, he'd have to try not to make a shot like that.

Yeah, that's an easy shot.

And that's my concern, that why would you ask,

first of all, if you're going to ask someone to put their life on the line to guard you,

why would you ask them to use tools that are not as effective as other tools?

And guns are tools in this situation.

Okay, Bill, hang on a second.

Hang on a second.

One minute.

I got to take a quick break and I want to come back to you.

So one minute, and then we're back to Bill Jones.

I want to know what they're carrying and what the pushback has been like in one minute.

First, let me tell you about filter buy.

University of Colorado says that the average house is more prone to indoor air quality levels on par with a polluted major city.

And that's because of all of the stuff that happens in our homes.

And in the winter, it's worse because we don't open the house up.

And so the air becomes wildly toxic.

It does, not to mention it leads to higher bills because your air conditioning has to work harder and it winds up costing you money.

You're supposed to be, I read somewhere you're supposed to be replacing these things things every once or one or two months.

I mean, I would have said like one or two years.

I would have said about every eight months.

I would have said, if I was being honest, I'd say every six months.

And if I was being honest, I would say I've done it every never.

And so

I never,

no.

Well, until Filter Buy, because then they just send it to your house and you don't have to worry about it.

Because when it shows up, you know, I have a box of a thing I need to do something with.

Yeah, and it's really easy.

You just pop it it in, you throw the other one out.

It's so easy.

Save time, save money, give yourself an edge this winter when the house is becoming sick or this summer when the house is becoming sick.

Just go to filterbuy.com.

That's filterbuy.com.

Make sure that you click for auto-renewal because you're going to save, I think, 5% or something like that.

And they'll just send it to your door.

You never have to think about it again.

It's filterbuy.com.

That's filterbuy.com.

10 seconds, station ID.

So talking to Bill Jones, principal, Manatee School for the Arts, that has hired veterans now for security, and he's not handing them a 9mm handgun.

What are you handing them?

Well, actually, they do carry a 9-millimeter sidearm.

But in addition to that,

we wanted a high-powered rifle, and

quite frankly, we wanted something a little shorter than a standard AR, because you're in an urban setting, hallways, you don't need a big barrel hanging out there swinging around.

So I looked into short-barrel rifles, and

I have an attorney who specializes in gun law and so forth, and she did quite a bit of research.

And the problem is, as a charter school, we're a 501c3 here in Florida.

And to purchase

NFA Class III weapons is a little bit of a nightmare in terms of the paperwork

and having your board members and

all that.

It's not just a simple trust like an individual would be.

So

we rankled with that for a while.

And I said, well, let's just go with a bullpup.

You know,

we'll get the full length of the barrel.

We'll get the shorter gun.

And

let's see what's available.

We looked around a little bit and quite frankly we were very impressed with this new Caltech

RDV 17

which is chambered in 223 or 556

and the military round.

It's a very short gun, but it maintains a 17-inch barrel for accuracy and so forth.

So now you are.

And it hangs across the front.

Of course our Guardian's a pretty tall, hefty guy, but it hangs very nicely.

It doesn't protrude beyond the person.

It's, you know, if you're not used to guns at all, it's probably any rifle is going to be visually intimidating.

But as compared to a standard AR-15, something like that, it's not nearly as visually intimidating.

But it also makes it easy to carry around.

It's gotten great reviews.

My Guardian tells me that he's put about 4,500 rounds through it.

It's performed flawlessly for him.

So let me ask you a little while because it's slightly different from the AR platform.

What is the downward ejection?

It's an ambidextrous weapon.

Are you doing a commercial for Keltech here?

Hang on just a second.

Let me ask you this, Bill.

What's the response?

Have you gotten pushback on this, Bill?

Pushback.

There are several levels that you get pushback from.

I've gotten emails from groups.

It was horrible because they were all foreign emails.

And I said, hey, do you have anything original to say?

Or you just want to tell me what the leader of your group has to say?

And they were basically people who are opposed to guns, period.

No guns in schools.

Okay, well, that's great.

I don't have a choice.

I've got to have a gun in school.

Then

the vast majority, I would say, of parents,

of all I've gotten a lot of email from around the country, especially from vet groups.

You can imagine how pleased they are that we're doing this.

But it's been overwhelmingly positive.

I have had some pushback from some gun snobs who have dissed the Caltech and said, no, you need a true military weapon.

Gun people are a little like libertarians, man.

Hey, we just love all guns except that one.

You're going to have a pen.

Yeah, that's kind of very esoteric.

We did have, you know, I had someone comments like, oh, it makes it look like war.

That was an older gentleman.

And I said, well, here, we're talking reality here.

We're not talking about we wish things could be different.

And I made the point, and it's awful, that if somebody comes in with a gun and starts shooting, it is war.

There's blood, there's dead people, there's bodies.

It is war.

And if you're not prepared for that,

then you're not going to get the outcome that you're looking for.

Bill?

You know,

everybody talks to me, like I say, about the statistics.

Oh, this is a very rare occurrence.

Of course it is.

Let's keep it that way.

Yeah.

And I use the analogy of the lotto.

You know, what are the odds of winning the lotto?

One in $14 million, one in 30 million.

But, you know, every week or two or a month or so, oh my goodness, somebody wins a lotto.

And like I say, for those people,

those group statistics are meaningless to the individual when it happens.

And the same thing is true of school shootings.

Every school that's ever had a school shooting, you're going to hear the same thing.

Gosh, we never thought that would happen here.

Right.

It always is that case.

Bill, I want to thank you so much for being on the program.

Thank you for

standing up and being logical and reasonable about all of this.

And I think being on radio programs and television programs and everything else is actually going to help your students

because you're sending out the message: we are not a safe zone.

We're not a gun-free zone.

We take this seriously, and you want to kill somebody, we're going to kill you first.

Thank you so much, Bill.

Appreciate it.

Bill sounds like a great guy.

I can't imagine how long the announcements go on every morning, though.

I feel like

you might not get to any classes.

He's awesome, though.

That was great.

Congratulations on that.

And what a great job for combat veterans to come back and feel like they actually are making a difference.

I encourage schools to hire combat veterans to do this.

They are unbelievable.

They're really, truly unbelievable, and they're the ones to keep you safe.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You know, and and hopefully we're saving for retirement because we know that things are going to happen to us.

We hope that they don't, except for retirement.

We hope our house doesn't burn down, but we need it.

We hope that our car doesn't

need a new transmission or need a $1,000 sensor that you didn't even know existed on the car.

So we were just talking to the school, the Manatee School, high high school, middle school that has now veterans with automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons,

not handguns,

patrolling the schools to make sure that they're safe.

And I commend them for that and taking it seriously.

We're doing a show tonight at 5 o'clock that I urge you to watch if you're a Second Amendment person.

The Second Amendment is under attack right now by Congress.

It is House Bill H.R.

HR 8.

And what HR 8 will do is take away all semi-automatic guns.

Now, that's because most people don't know what a semi-automatic is.

A semi-automatic is a gun that you see all the time.

That's what police officers carry.

People do not carry revolvers.

It's just a gun.

A semi-automatic weapon is a modern gun.

It's a gun that if you go to buy a gun, most likely that's what you're buying.

I don't even know what the percentage is, but it's got to be more than three-quarters of guns purchased.

Oh, it's 90% or

automatic.

Semi-automatic.

Yes.

So 90% of everything.

I mean, really, you have to go back to a Henry or a Winchester or

a cowboy gun to get a non-automatic.

Yeah, I mean, the only thing

like a shotgun, right?

Like there's a certain...

My shotgun is semi-automatic.

But some of them are, but not all of them are.

Like, you could buy...

That would seem like a relatively normal purchase, right?

To buy a shotgun that doesn't.

If you have a pump action, that's not semi-automatic.

But that's about it.

I can't get it.

Cowboy guns.

It's a specialty gun, right?

Like

you'd buy a cowboy gun as a

collector's item, right?

Yeah, I would, you know, they're fun to, when we go to the range, I always bring a cowboy gun because somebody is always like, you know, let me try that.

And you realize how impossible it is to fire a cowboy gun.

And you're like, how did they do duels?

How did they do this?

This is why it was a contest, right?

Right.

It's why it was hard to win.

Right.

So, I mean, it's just, I bring them out for that.

I like shooting with my Henry.

I would have a hard time with my AR or my Henry.

If I had a rifle and, you know, life depended on it and the two of them were sitting there, I might grab my Henry because I just really like it.

But it's certainly not as easy to use or fast to use unless you're really, really good at using it.

So they're doing that, and that's through the front door.

But I want to tell you about the back door, something else.

And this is something I brought up about two years ago, and it is happening.

And the Second Amendment is under attack, and you need to know about it tonight, 5 o'clock.

You don't want to miss it.

Now, I want to tell you a story about John Pinkard.

John Pinkard is this plant manager.

He worked at an Illinois manufacturing firm, Henry Pratt.

He was 37 years old.

He had three kids, along with his wife.

You might have have seen this over the weekend.

He, along with four other co-workers, were shot dead Friday afternoon.

There was this guy, I don't even give you his name.

He was with the company for 15 years and he was in a meeting regarding his termination.

And he pulled out a firearm and he started shooting.

Josh Pinkard was one of the guys he shot.

Josh Josh falls to the ground and he pulls out his phone and he texts

a message to his wife.

I love you.

I've just been shot at work.

She said on Facebook, it took me several times reading it before I realized this is real.

I had to read it over and over again.

She tried to call.

She tried to FaceTime her husband several times, but he didn't answer.

Eventually, she managed to get through to a member of the staff at the plant who explained that she was barricaded in a room and that heavily armed police were swarming the area, and so

she didn't have any idea about her husband.

She got in touch with the police in Aurora, who told me there's a staging area for victims and families.

She said, I don't know how my body drove me

to the scene,

but somehow or another, my body took me to the scene.

And it was there where they told us the list of fatalities, and I read my husband's name.

Now here's where this is worth talking about.

This is what she said.

With my pastor's help, since family was still on planes to get to us, I told my children that their dad didn't make it, and he was in heaven with Jesus.

I praise the Lord for giving me this man.

Despite the excruciating pain and searing loss, we choose to trust in the Lord,

and we thank Him for the many wonderful years.

The world is darker and more sad now.

A huge bright light has left this world, but God,

the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I am lost and devastated beyond words.

Things that mattered yesterday no longer matter today.

I will praise the Lord for giving me this mountain of a man.

I will praise the Lord for the children that we have together.

I will cry out to God during this immense time of sadness and need.

I ask that you would remember us in the coming days and months and years.

We are scared, and we're just trying to catch our breath and just putting one foot in front of another.

I find this kind of faith the kind of faith that I hope I have

in times of tragedy.

It's the kind of faith I think I have.

But I don't know because I haven't had to cross this bridge.

The kind of faith that says, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

The kind of faith that says,

he is in a great place, or she is going to be with the Lord, and I will see her again.

And I'm going to celebrate her

life, not

spend my life wallowing in her death.

That's hard.

I have some friends who lost their children.

I don't know how you do that.

But once in a while, we'll see somebody like this.

I'd like to suggest there's a GoFundMe page.

It's at like 23,000.

Their goal is 30,000, I think.

I'd love to overwhelm this woman and her family.

And I know there are three other families involved, and

we can look for those pages as well.

But this woman, the way she is handling it, is the way, it's the example we need today.

So can we go to the GoFundMe page?

Do you have the address of the GoFundMe page?

Yeah,

we're tweeting it from your account here as well.

Post it up at Glembeck.com real quick.

We can do that.

And what is it?

Do you have it?

Yes, pulling it up here right now.

Give me one moment.

I'd like to.

They have a goal of 30,000.

I have a goal of 100,000.

I'd like just to, she doesn't know us.

She doesn't, you know, I don't know if she listens to us or not, but, you know, odds are that, you know, she, she doesn't.

And we don't want any credit or anything else.

We just want to, I would love to have her this afternoon look at her page and go, what the heck happened?

Yeah, I love that.

Yeah.

What happened?

I love just to blow this family's mind and have them just break down in tears of gratitude tonight and to think of all of the Americans.

You know, we used to barn build.

When somebody had a tragedy, their barn burned down, their house burned down, or whatever, we would all gather.

This is the modern way of barn building.

Here's a great family, a great woman who has the example for our children.

Let's barn raise for them.

Let's shock them.

Yeah.

They wake up and there's the new barn.

The link is gofundme.com/slash josh dash pinkard, p-i-n-k-a-r-d dash memorial.

To make it easy, it's up at twitter.com/slash glintbeck or world of stew on Twitter as well.

You can go to either one of those places and get the link, as well as the story.

I mean, it's I think what's amazing about that story is, you know, tragedy happens to a lot of families.

You know, I look at that story in the way the family seems to be, and I have no idea in that moment if I would be able to react that way.

I hope I would.

That's certainly how I want to teach my kids to react in a situation like that.

But I don't know.

That would be a physically demanding task to be able to pull off.

And the fact that she's talking about faith that way and thanking

God for what she did have over a too short a period of time, that's an amazing way to react to that.

That's a strong person.

If you looked at my wife and I, knowing me and knowing Tanya,

and you knew that somebody had hurt my kid or was was threatening my kid, like the scenario that we don't need to talk about now that happened last summer.

Who do you think would be the one in the family saying, Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, let's be cautious, let's be right here, let's do this right.

Considering you're the person who's known for flying off the handle at various things, I would think she would be the one.

My wife, I'm convinced, I am convinced when this happened to my son and somebody came after my son online and we knew it it was a child predator.

I really believe if I hadn't have been there, she might have gone to that person and killed them.

I mean, I really mean it.

She was like, I'm getting on a plane.

I'm going tonight.

I am going tonight.

And I'm like, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey.

Not a good idea.

And

you just don't know how you're going to react.

You just don't know how you're going to react.

And when people react like this, that is true faith.

And that's the kind of faith that we all need to have.

Come what may,

they can't take that away from me.

Join us on this.

Let's, let's, let's barn race.

Let's blow these people away.

All right, let me talk to you a little bit about Life Lock.

Here we are in the tax season.

Tax season is the worst for identity fraud.

Yeah, did you hear about this guy who was working as a tax preparer and was stealing all this information?

They found eight victims of the scheme

and they were taking all of the information for the tax returns and selling it.

And people were being defrauded out of God only knows how much money.

I mean, there was at least eight victims they know of, and they think there's more.

And they only caught him because of like a traffic stop, right?

He got pulled over because I think his registration was out of date.

And that's how they actually came across this.

That is terrifying, man.

I mean,

you're so vulnerable with this.

The government wants so much information, they make it so impossible.

You have to go to a professional to get it done right.

And it's not even just the tax preparers, it's when you actually file for it, once it leaves and goes into the internet or

into the wall that goes down the fiber optic lines.

Once that's out there, there are people, Russians,

Americans.

A friend of mine had someone filed the taxes for him, got a refund, and then when he went later on to file his taxes, actually, it was blocked.

You've already filed your taxes.

We already sent you a refund.

No, you didn't.

Welcome to the program.

So glad that you're here.

I want to talk to you a little bit about the border wall here because

Harry from

the DT publisher of of Tampa.

Tampa.

A longtime listener and a thinker.

He is.

He said, look, here's the problem.

Fossil fuels are dirty.

What's the cleanest energy?

Electricity.

Where does electricity come from?

Walls.

Outlets.

Sockets.

Yeah, outlets.

And you find the outlets on walls.

So here's the solution.

We build the southern border wall and we cover it on both sides with outlets.

Oh, my gosh, it's brilliant.

Clean energy for both the U.S.

and Mexico.

Charge Mexico like a, you know, for a pay toilet, like a pay toilet for energy.

So they put like a quarter in and they get to power.

They can use that outlet.

They can power a hair dryer or whatever they want to power power.

It's a long journey to get your hair dry.

I mean, perhaps it would be dry by the time you got to the wall, but that's something for them to figure out.

It's not really our concern.

And I think

after we prove this out as a success, then we just build a new wall between California, Oregon, Washington, and the rest of the U.S.

And then New York, Vermont, you know, that area, Washington, D.C.,

and the rest of the country.

And they get all their energy, right there, clean energy, from that wall.

They plug in whatever they want.

My understanding is you don't get electricity out of a wall like magic.

There has to be an elf inside creating it.

So

it's a Keebler thing.

I'm not sure what the technology of the elves

automatically move into the walls.

Like if you set up a wall, will an elf move in to make sure?

I don't know, Stu.

I live in a time where

miracle medicine happens.

happens.

I don't know how the tax scan works.

I just know it does.

I go in a tube and a picture comes out of my head.

Right.

So that's what this is.

I don't know how all of this works in the wall.

I just know I plug in a device in the wall and it gives me energy.

So we have clean energy on both sides of the border.

So we cure global warming.

We have the border wall up.

This is a bipartisan bill.

This is a bipartisan solution.

And I will say it is more credible than the Green New Deal.

Oh, I think it is.

That is accurate.

Oh, I think it is.

We still have airplanes.

Think of the money that will be rolling in.

I mean, we could guarantee jobs for everybody.

That's right.

Because if you wanted to, we could put a wall on Canada.

Canada, I'm pretty sure they have electronic devices up there now, too.

I think maybe in Toronto and Montreal.

Yeah, and the bigger cities.

Yeah, in the biggest city.

You know, they'll have, you know,

I don't know, phones.

I don't know about phones.

They'll have block heaters for their cars.

Yeah, they'll have block heaters.

Yep.

I don't know about for cars.

Not for cars.

But they will snowmobiles.

Not sure if they're at the combustion engine, but we could put a couple of outlets

on the northern side of the.

They don't need combustion engines anymore.

They just charge all their Priuses or Teslas up right at the border and just drive away.

It's a win-win.

Wow.

What a great solution.

Harry, great, great job.

Thank you, Harry.

That's important.

Thank you, Harry.

It's very good.

Very good.

By the way, Stu, longtime listeners might be excited.

I finally, after 20 years, have found out, figured out a way to do the Schlub Club.

I'm going to talk about it off here and maybe bring it back soon.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

History has proven that societies which kill their own children do not last long.

We're not only killing our babies, we're celebrating the death.

Therefore, we are ripe for catastrophe and a catastrophic judgment, the kind of fall that destroys the seemingly undefeatable Roman Empire.

The person who wrote that joins me next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Okay, let me tell you about our sponsor one minute, and then we're back to the program.

U.S.

intelligence officials in their annual threat assessment recently issued a warning on increased threats to national security resulting from tighter cooperation between China and Russia.

This is something, man, if we would stop yelling about Donald Trump, maybe we could talk about some things that are important.

The cooperation between China and Russia is going to come and bite us in the butt.

A cyber war received central billing in the report, as it has for several years.

I think we are already in a early cyber war.

But the report says that China, for the first time, was described as capable of launching cyber attacks that could disable the U.S.

critical infrastructure, such as disruption of natural gas pipelines, for days to weeks.

We are in a time of great transition.

And when I say that, I mean in the next 10 years,

the maps won't look the same.

Borders will have changed.

Banking will have changed.

Currencies will have changed.

Everything in your life is, it's not going to look the way it does right now.

So how are you prepared to go through all of that upheaval to get to the other side?

Because I got news for you.

You're going to be surprised.

You made it.

You made it to the other side.

So what got you through that?

Please find out if just 5 or 10% of what you have in your 401k or your IRA or whatever you have, just 5 or 10% of that is put in gold or silver, physical gold and silver.

It is right for my family, and I will tell you, I'll stop telling you about gold the minute the star field rolls back the other way.

In just a few days, on Saturday, there is something called the Day of Mourning.

Now, this was happening in New York.

It was happening in Albany, and it was started by Elizabeth Johnston.

Now, she was on the program with us last week, and now there are 20 more cities where this has started to spread.

Elizabeth joins us now.

Hello, Elizabeth.

Hi, Glenn.

How are you?

Very good.

I just want to introduce you.

Elizabeth is a speaker and an author and a vlogger, and

she

has been involved in all kinds of things, but mainly raising her 10 children.

Some things have happened in life where she said, enough is enough, not on my watch.

And she has now become a very big, powerful

voice in social media and has written a new book called Not on My Watch.

But we want to talk to her about the Day of Mourning.

So, what's happened since last we spoke, Elizabeth?

Glenn,

partially thanks to being on your show last week, we could not be more excited about the response to the day of mourning.

As you mentioned, we are now simulcasting the event to 21 cities.

Days ago, we had sold out of our venue space at the convention center.

We are scrambling to rent more rooms at the convention center to simulcast.

I think we'll have at least 5,000 people at the convention center in Albany, New York, and

probably standing outside.

We have tapped into something, Glenn.

People want to be anywhere they can be near the day of mourning because we are standing in the gap and interposing for our nation on Saturday.

We believe the blood of these babies is crying up to God right now, and we are in deep trouble.

And we've seen in history times when people have stood in the gap for their nation and God has spared their nation, like when Moses stood in the gap for the Hebrew people and God spared them and Esther stood in the gap and called for fasting and prayer when Haman wanted to destroy her people and God spared them.

That is the heart of what we are doing on Saturday and people just want to get as close to it as they possibly can.

All right, so you have events now in Apple Valley, California, Eugene, Oregon.

Wow, that's shocking to me.

Is Eugene normal?

I mean, sorry to say that.

Sorry, Oregon, but you know what I'm I'm talking about.

Chicago, Illinois, Charlotte, North Carolina, where else?

Oh, if you go to thedayofmourning.org, you will see the 21 cities where we are simulcasting.

Scroll to the bottom of the website, dayofmourning.org, and you will see that we are just in tons of states and super excited about that.

I just, I think people, Glenn,

they are tired of the half measures that we have been taking.

When are we going to see that these half measures aren't working?

You know, when you cut branches off a tree, the branches are going to grow back, right?

And the pro-aborts are always coming back with more and more bloodshed, more and more outrageous legislation.

And the pro-life movement has been strangely fixated on passing pathetic legislation that says, you know, you can kill the baby as long as the doctor has hospital privileges, or you can kill the baby as long as you let the mom wait 24 hours, or you can kill the baby as long as the clinic is sanitary.

Are we out of our minds, Glenn?

What if we said that back in the Holocaust time about the Jewish people?

Okay, you can kill Jews as long as the clinic is sanitary.

Mercy, like, no, we need to end the killing, and that's why this is a vertical response on Saturday, Glenn.

It's saying, you know what?

We have all just been completely negligent and complicit in this crime of child killing, And we've got to make this right with God.

All right.

So this is the thing I like about this.

This is not a thing where everybody gets up and gives a speech or, you know, and you're cheering and you bringing signs.

You're asking people to, on Saturday, not to shop, to close your business if you're a business owner,

to wear black in mourning.

and repent for the sin of abortion and ask for God's protection.

So at these events, what you're going to see is what exactly, Elizabeth?

Oh, you will hear inspiring testimonies and stories from, for instance, a mother who chose life because Christians were there to help her choose life when she was heading into the abortion clinic.

You'll hear from an eight-year-old abortion survivor who was adopted and is just a beautiful young woman.

You'll hear from black conservative David J.

Harris, who's going to deal with what a problem this is in the black community and how they have killed off so much of their race.

But

more than speakers, you're going to hear us all praying, seeking God, crying out to God for mercy.

This is a prayer meeting.

This is a sober time of repentance.

We are standing in the gap for our nation.

And Glenn, I just cannot thank you enough for

partnering with us in this and helping us get the word out.

Elizabeth,

I really appreciate what you're doing.

And I think think it's very brave and high time.

And what I like about this movement is it isn't about people, and it isn't about parties or elections.

It's really about what I believe is a covenant that we made with God,

and we have broken that covenant.

And if we don't cry out to him and beg for forgiveness,

if he doesn't hear from us,

we are going to be destroyed.

We are going to be destroyed.

because I firmly believe with the technology and the ingenuity that we have as Americans, if we go dark, we are going to be the worst nation ever

in history.

We are going to make the Nazis look like rookies.

With what we have now in technology, we can kill millions of people.

overnight

and it can all be done in the cover of darkness in their own home and nobody will ever ever see it because we can cut off all communication.

I mean,

it's horrifying to think, and we are strangely

no longer moved.

It's, you know, the man's love for man has waxed cold.

Yeah, think about this, Glenn.

Think about the passion that the left has for their ideas and the lack of passion that we have for ours.

The potheads will defy the feds for their marijuana state after state after state, state, but we don't even have enough love for our pre-born neighbor to defy the feds when they tell us it's okay to execute babies in cold blood.

This is why we're meeting on Saturday because something has happened to our hearts.

We are dead inside to an issue that should so greatly alarm us that we can't sleep at night, an issue that would cause us, yes, to defy the feds to say, I don't care what Rosie Wade says.

Rosie Wade can kiss my grits.

I'm going to protect these babies.

And we don't have that, Glenn.

And so that's why we are seeking God to change our hearts on Saturday.

Elizabeth Johnston, she's the author of the book, ActivistMommy.com.

It's the day of mourning that is happening this Saturday.

I cannot urge you strongly enough, no matter what your faith is,

please, please turn your eyes to God and beg for forgiveness and help and time so we can correct

the sins that we have just

let happen on our watch.

And I know,

you know, I'm not talking to anybody about repenting.

I have so much repenting to do.

I have said so many times in my career, and especially at the times when I was at Fox, we were under attack on so many different things.

And people came to me and said, you got to talk about abortion and life.

And I said, are you kidding me?

I can carry no more water.

Somebody else has to carry that bucket because I just can't carry any more water.

And I regret that deeply.

And we all have, we can all make excuses, but in the end, those excuses don't mean anything.

This is a Holocaust that has happened in our country.

And

those of us who say we are against this,

we do have to stand in peace, in love, with compassion.

And we should take the beam out of our own eye first before we look for the beams in other people's eyes.

Elizabeth, thank you so much.

Thank you, Glenn.

God bless you.

So I want to talk a little bit about

something that I found interesting today

about the inside scoop of Cortez

and the way

AOC.

I hate that.

I hate that so much.

It's painful.

It really is.

It's painful.

They just are trying to make her a thing so badly for different reasons.

I think every

mainstream analysis of her

is completely wrong.

The typical way you look at Alexandria Casio-Cortez is, at least the way the media does, she's this energetic superstar, up and coming future of the Democratic Party that has lit everything on fire.

It's amazing.

And the Republicans are obsessed with her because they're afraid of her.

That is the.

I love it.

Yeah, that's the, and I think both of them, though, are wrong.

I mean, right off the bat, we talked about the idea that Republicans are only bringing her up.

If you think about the goals of Republicans in election cycles for the past, let's say, 70 years, it's been try to show that Democrats are socialists, right?

And that will scare a voter from voting for them, right?

Like

being honest about, like,

you might think if you're a Democrat, oh, they're not all socialists, but the Republican goal has been to paint Democrats that way.

They give us a lot of help, right?

Like they are, many of them

support so many policies that are the same, but it's been a hard task.

For the example of Barack Obama this recently, when we were saying like, hey, this guy has a lot of socialist tendencies, we were called racists and haters.

We were throwing out these evil, awful accusations at this president.

Now

they're embracing it.

They're calling themselves socialists.

It's almost like they took off their masks.

So, yeah, exactly.

As you, as you pointed out back in the day.

And so the idea that Alexandria Casio-Cortez, the Republicans, are afraid of her, it's the exact opposite.

She is giving them what they've tried to accomplish for 70 years.

They are finally saying, yes, Democrats are socialists, and we're telling you that we are.

And that's a gift to Republicans.

It is.

In fact, let me play the audio from Bernie Sanders, where he just said, look,

you know, just a few years ago, nobody wanted to say that they were a socialist.

Now, that's what the party has embraced.

Listen to this.

Many of the ideas that I talked about, Medicare for all, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, making public colleges and universities tuition-free.

All of those ideas, people say, oh, Bernie, they're so radical, they are extreme.

The American people just won't accept those ideas.

Well, you know what's happened over three years

all of those ideas and many more are now part of the political mainstream so you're saying the party came your way

well I don't want to say that I think

most people would say that

and the the numbers show that as well right 538 did a study on this and showed yeah or no it was CNN that did it CNN said yeah by the way this is the most liberal field in history right so so What was wrong in the media, what the media said, oh, how dare you, you racists, say this, that these people are socialists.

You're just throwing nasty names around.

We're like, that's not a nasty name.

It's not a racist thing.

It's a political ideology that has been tried all around the world over and over again.

Well, you just want to, no, I'm just telling you that's what they believe.

Well, they do believe that.

And now they're embracing it.

So

the right should celebrate that they are now embracing this because we can have at least an honest conversation.

I mean,

my

love for a campaign between two people last year or last time in 16 was

Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

Yeah, let America make a decision.

Yeah, right.

Have an honest, open debate.

Bernie Sanders is open and honest.

I am not for the Constitution being the way it is.

I want to reverse and have a second Bill of Rights.

And I want to make this a document that says these are the things the government must do.

And Ted Cruz believes in the Constitution the way it is and says, no, these are the things the government must never do.

Let's have that conversation and just get done with it.

Let's just get on with it.

But they didn't want to have that debate.

Now we can have that debate.

And we're on the winning side of this.

We're on the winning side.

Now,

we look at Ocasio-Cortez and the media says, oh, we're just afraid of her.

No, we're not.

And quite honestly, neither is the left.

Now, I want you to know, there are two Democratic parties right now.

There's the hip Democrats, like Ocasio-Cortez, and then there's the hip replacement Democrats.

And the hip replacement Democrats, we all know who they are.

It's Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and everybody else.

And kind of Bernie Sanders, except he's actually in both categories.

He actually fits probably more in the hip Democrats.

The same way you would have put Ron Paul in the hip Republicans back in the day.

Yes.

Like, even though he might be older, he fits more of that brand.

Right.

He was a rebel.

Right.

He was a rebel.

And he's such a rebel that he's gone back to being a Democrat to run for the presidential candidacy in the Democratic Party, although he's always an independent, and now he's going after independents like Howard Schultz because you got to join the party.

You got to be part of the party.

I mean, it's just crazy.

Anyway, so there's these two, there's these two groups,

And these two groups are really looked at as crazies.

And I believe I've wondered why, why is Nancy Pelosi and why are these people just

allowing Ocasio-Cortez just to do this?

Just to

take out

a talking point memo.

quote unquote and say we're going to get rid of cars and we're going to get airplanes and everything else why are they they allowing her to do this i actually think i figured it out uh last night on the tv show we went over the green new deal and i want to bring you the highlights of that show and and show you she is i actually think she's a pathetic figure now

I really do.

I think she's a really sad, pathetic figure that has no idea how she's being used by the hip replacement Democrats.

Coming up.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

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

Okay, bad time to be a renter.

Good time to own rental property.

Bad time to actually have to rent it.

Rents rose about 4.2% last year.

So what does that say to you?

It says

you shouldn't be a renter right now.

You should own your own home.

Now, here's the good thing.

If you can get a loan right now and lock it in, you're going to get a rate that you're not going to see again, perhaps ever.

I mean,

it's going to get crazy.

If we really try to fix this

economy, if we really try to fix this currency situation, rates are going to go through the roof.

Now is the time to buy and lock in your rates, and the people that can do that for you is American Financing.

These people I trust, 800-906-2440, or AmericanFinancing.net.

Do it now.

AmericanFinancing.net.

Alexandria Casio-Cortez.

Is she the new exciting Democrat thing or is she being used by the old school Democrats?

We'll get to that next.

So last night at 5 o'clock, I did a special on the Green New Deal.

And

it all came together for me last night on Cortez and this whole thing with the new Green Deal and how that was rolled out.

I want you to know there's the hip Democrats, the new Democratic Socialists, and then there's the HIP Replacement Democrats.

And that's Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and everybody else who just, they're going to use these socialists, they think they're going to use these socialists to get what they want, and then, you know, they'll get rid of them.

They have no idea.

You're dealing with actual socialists, Democratic socialists who do believe in the end, you know what?

You got to break a few eggs to make an omelet.

And who's using who?

Well, you've lost control of your party for the Democrats.

And here's how I know this.

If you read the draft text for the proposed amendment to the House rules for the 116th Congress of the United States, they want to have a new committee, a Green New Deal committee.

And in that, you have to say what your goals are.

So when we were arguing about, look, they want to take away cars, they want to take away airplanes, they want to do this in the next 10 years, all of that is true.

But then you had the cow farts and all of that, and it just became a joke, right?

And you're like, look, and everybody was saying it, I was saying it, this is written by a 10-year-old.

This is ridiculous.

This is like rapper room stuff.

They really want to do it, but look at how ridiculous it is.

And then

all of the declared candidates candidates would not step away from the Green New Deal.

Why?

When you've got a cow fart thing that looks that ridiculous, why wouldn't you step away?

I actually think you might feel bad a little bit for Ocasio-Cortez

after I explain this, because I think she is being

used

just the way people in power always do.

They use up and they destroy.

Now, you can use somebody up if they're very, very good at something.

You can use them.

See, the Republicans have not done this.

When you were given the gift of Donald Trump, now hear me out, Republicans.

You were given the gift of Donald Trump.

I don't care what you think about him.

I don't care what you think about his policies.

I don't care if you despise him or love him.

He's a gift to to the Republican Party.

How?

Because if you think about, if you think like someone who has a set of goals to get things done,

you can get anything through Congress, or you could have, gotten anything through Congress because this guy is a sideshow.

And that's the way he operates.

And he likes that.

He likes the spotlight, which means you could have written and said, you know what?

We're going to ban all abortions and we might just make some abortions

legal, rape, incest.

And in the case, you're Michael Moore.

And I think you could have gotten it through because the press was watching Donald Trump.

He was providing misdirection.

And so everybody is talking about Donald Trump.

You could have passed almost anything, put it on his desk.

He would have signed it.

and the press wouldn't have stopped it.

Because they were focused on whatever he just tweeted.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

So he's a gift.

Now,

I don't think that Ocasio-Cortez, I think she's a gift to us, but I really do believe that the hip replacement Democrats view her as a gift too.

She's a sacrificial lamb.

Because they know that somebody like Ocasio-Cortez are not going to get this done.

She's not going to get this done.

But she can go and make the point and she can provide cover and misdirection while what's happening behind the scenes is really, is really where the business is being done.

So let me read this and tell me what's more frightening to you.

Cow farts?

We're going to get rid of cars and airplanes?

Or this.

The select committee shall be composed of 15 members appointed by the Speaker, of whom six may be appointed on the recommendation, may be

appointed on the recommendation of the minority leader.

Starting nine to six.

Right.

At best.

At best.

The Speaker shall designate one member of the Select Committee as its chair.

The Select Committee shall have the authority to develop a detailed national industrial economic mobilization plan, herein for after

referred to in this section as the plan for a new Green Deal, or the Plan.

This mobilization plan will be for the transition of the United States economy.

That

is kind of shocking in and of itself.

The transition,

fundamental transformation, of the United States economy to become greenhouse gas emission neutral and significantly draw down greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and the oceans.

If there was a period there, you would say, okay, that's pretty bad.

But there's not a period there.

There is a conjunction.

And

to promote economic and environmental justice and equality.

The Green Do New Deal, as Van Jones says, green is the new red.

Remember that?

Green is the new red.

You can get everybody on board this green train, but it ain't taking you to greentown.

It's taking you to red town.

Green is the new red.

Forget about the greenhouse gases and atmosphere and the oceans and everything else.

What they're saying is, and

promote economic and environmental justice and equality.

The plan shall be prepared in consultation with experts and leaders from business, labor, state and local governments, tribal nations, academia, and broadly represent civil society groups and community.

It will be driven by the federal government.

It will be executed in no longer than 10 years, and it will provide opportunities for high-income work, entrepreneurship, cooperative and public ownership, and additionally be responsible to and in accordance with the goals and guidelines relating to social, economic, racial, regional, and gender-based justice and equality.

What were those line?

Give me those categories again.

Racial, gender.

Social, economic, racial, regional, gender-based justice and equality.

Now,

none of those had anything to do with the environment.

No.

I mean, social justice, racial justice, regional justice,

gender-based justice.

None of that has anything to do with being green.

Okay.

It's important to note that because this is not a bill to, it is not a crazy environmental bill.

No.

It is a crazy environmental bill plus a crazy socialist bill this is this is to completely transform the american economy away from a free market system okay uh also

it is to mitigate deeply entrenched racial regional and gender-based inequalities in income and wealth including without limitation ensuring that federal and other investment and other investment will be equitably distributed to historically impoverished, low-income, deindustrialized, or otherwise marginalized communities in such a way that builds wealth and ownership on that community level.

It is going to, it shall include additional

measures such as basic universal income programs.

It shall include universal health care programs and any others that the select committee may deem appropriate to promote economic security, labor market flexibility, and entrepreneurism.

And it shall deeply involve national and local labor unions to take a leadership role.

Let's see.

As we're all watching Ocasio-Cortez dance and say funny things, and we're all like, can you believe these things are happening?

They're not moving the Overton window.

They're getting the job done.

This will pass in the House.

It'll pass in the House.

And then it'll just wait for Senate approval.

It shouldn't get through the Senate.

It certainly wouldn't.

No, it would be vetoed by Trump if it did.

Yeah, but what happens in 2020?

Right.

This is the America you are headed for.

This is the Democratic America.

This is from their bill.

You need to take this bill and sit down with your like-minded Democratic friends.

And you need to do it now before things start to get really bloody.

Do not talk about politics.

Talk about...

the free market system.

And look,

look, there's a difference between a big welfare state and a socialist state.

A welfare state is what we have now.

A welfare state is what Sweden has.

So, you know, Sweden has about a 50% income tax at every level.

So we're not talking about just doing the rich.

If you want Sweden, it will take 50% of everyone's income to do it, and it still will fail.

However,

that's a difference between ending the free market system, and you can have the clips from Ocasio-Cortez says, where it's not going to be with us for very long.

You have that.

You now have a bill that says to fundamentally transform our economy into

an economic and environmental justice and equality economy

run by the government and the labor unions.

Is this anything you want your children to live under?

They are using Ocasio-Cortez.

What, am I a clown to you?

Yes, yes, you're a clown to us.

And they are using her.

And when her effectiveness is done, they will kick her to the curb like she is blazy forward.

She will be nowhere to be seen.

And she'll be asking herself, what the hell happened?

She's wearing out her welcome already.

They're only doing this for misdirection.

Relief Factor.

If you're in pain, most Americans who are in constant pain, $2,000 minimum.

$2,000 is what you spend on pain, relief.

Just the two grand, though?

That's it?

That's crazy.

That's probably how much Relief Factor Factor costs, right?

No, no, not even close.

No.

66% expect to live their life, the rest of their life, in pain.

Is it $4,000 for Relief Factor?

That's a lot.

That's a lot, and I got to say,

that's even more than $100.

No, let me give you this.

The trial pack is $19.95.

So basically $2,000 as well.

No, it's $14.95.

And it's 100% drug-free.

It's created by doctors.

It's $1 a day.

$1 a day.

That seems pretty fair.

Yeah.

So 70% of the people who order the three-week quick start go on to order more.

Four key ingredients help your body fight against inflation, and that's where our pain comes from.

So if you're in pain, you don't have anything to lose but the pain.

Try it.

ReliefFactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

I think that

the reason why Nancy Pelosi is still the Speaker of the House, and you know, she's she's

she's not in step with people.

But I think that is actually, A, because she's powerful and nobody likes to give up power,

but also as a way to retreat.

I think the

hip Democrats are taking the party into a deeply socialist

direction.

And the hip replacement Democrats are all kind of staying away from that.

And I think in some ways it's smart

if you were a chess player, you would say, let's just keep this as a way to fall back.

Don't put anybody in the leadership of these new Democrats because in case the 2020 election is disastrous, we may have to reverse course and go back underground and be quiet socialists.

But make no mistake, you're not talking about with these hip Democrats socialism that is talking about welfare.

You're talking about turning off the free market system.

Democratic socialism.

Right, yeah.

There's an article in Vox written by a writer at Jacobin magazine, who's a socialist magazine.

It's important to keep pounding this so people understand what a

democratic socialist is.

This is written by a democratic socialist quote.

In the main socialist outlet.

That's where she works.

She wrote this for Vox.

I'm a staff writer at the socialist magazine Jacobin and a member of the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America.

And here's the truth.

In the long run, democratic socialists want to end capitalism.

A robust welfare state in an economy that's still organized around capitalist profits can mitigate the worst inequalities for a while, but at best it's a temporary truce between bosses and workers and one the former will look to scrap as soon as they can.

Many observers see groups like the DSA pushing for policies like Medicare for All and decide that we must be actually something like New Deal liberals who are simply confused about the meaning of socialism.

The Green New Deal.

That's not true.

Our goal is not to rein in the excesses of capitalism a few decades at a time.

We want to end our society's subservience to the market.

Medicare for All is an instructive example.

Winning single-payer health care in the U.S.

would be an enormous relief to the millions of Americans who blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, who really have bad insurance.

We want that too.

But we also know that Medicare for All is not socialism.

It would only nationalize insurance, not the whole healthcare system.

Democratic socialists ultimately want something more like the British National Health Service, the NHS, in which everyone pays taxes to fund not just insurance, but doctors and hospitals and medicine as well.

So why are Democratic socialists not demanding the NHS right now?

Here's your most instructive part of this article.

Because we currently don't have the support to push for and win such an ambitious program.

Social democratic reforms like Medicare for all are, in the eyes of the DSA, part of the long, uneven process of building that support and eventually overthrowing capitalism, period.

That is what

70 Democrats signed on for with a new deal, the Green New Deal.

As you just read it, it, Glenn, that is a description.

It's a plan to put what I just read into practice.

It is from this bill

to set forth a racial, regional, and gender-based justice and equality and transform the American economy into that

under the guise of

carbon neutrality.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
