Bound By What We Thought? | Guests: Leon Wolf & Andrew Heaton | 1/24/19

By the way, I just have to give you this headline before we get into our sponsor.

Wall Street Journal.

No pay stub, no problem.

Unconventional mortgages, make a comeback.

Oh, I don't think there could be a problem.

No.

It's not going to lead to anything major.

No, it would never be a...

May I suggest you talk to the people of American Financing.

They're not doing those kinds of mortgages.

They're a family-owned national mortgage banker with salary-based mortgage consultants.

They're They're known for custom, low-rate home loans and some of the fastest clothings in the industry, but they have been a reputable leader in the loan industry since 1999, and they have an A-plus rating with a BBB.

Okay, you want a stable loan and one that's right for you, one that you can afford, and one that will close fast?

Go to AmericanFinancing.net.

That's AmericanFinancing.net.

What if I don't have any salary and I really want a gigantic mansion?

Don't call 866-750-6551 and don't go to AmericanFinancing.net.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Are we going to do that today?

Entertainment and Enlightenment?

We're going to do one of the two on off days.

No, let's do them both right now.

Really?

Let's do them both right now.

Let's try something new.

I want to talk to you a little bit about justice because justice is a word that has been slung around so much, I don't think anybody knows what the meaning of the word word is anymore.

Do we know what justice is?

New York State lawmakers apparently did not spend much time pondering the word of the week, justice,

in their build-up to the passage of the Reproduction Health Act.

It's reproductive justice.

Is it?

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

LifeLock, apparently, hackers finding ways to hijack phone numbers and get around two-factor authentication.

That extra step is what's supposed to keep our devices and personal information safe, but come on.

So,

no confidence there.

Do you do that?

You actually do the two-factor identification thing?

You do that?

No.

I do.

But what I find is basically what it means is I lose one of the factors, so then I can't get into my own account.

So

that is the problem that I have is I've got so many damn passwords.

I can't get onto the Wi-Fi half of the time.

I can't.

I'm just trying to buy this stupid movie from Amazon.

I hate it.

I just hate it.

Anyway,

people are finding ways to get around all the things that frustrate you that you have to put up.

LifeLock is the way to protect yourself.

I really do count on Life Lock a lot to alert me when somebody has come in and tried to take any of my information, and they have really saved me a couple of times.

On Tuesday, the 46th anniversary of Roe v.

Wade,

New York lawmakers gave themselves a standing ovation for the overwhelming vote to allow unrestricted abortion in the first six months of pregnancy, or even later in the pregnancy if a doctor determines it's necessary for the health of the mother.

Now, the health of the mother literally includes anything.

Well, no, Glenn.

It does.

Typical right-wing nut job.

It does not.

It's first of all, it's the health of the mother.

Somebody called Microsoft Shields.

Get into that later.

But it's not at all true that it's anything.

Right.

It's just simply all factors.

All factors.

That's all.

But that's anything.

Well, physical.

Yes.

Emotional.

Emotional.

Psychological.

Psychological.

Familial.

Familial.

What does that even mean?

The woman's age.

All right.

Anything that's relevant to the well-being of the patient.

Anything that's relevant.

So that sounds like anything.

Well, it's anything

as long as you at least say something.

I think if you went in there and said, you know what, I have no reason for this abortion.

Technically, they could say no to you.

However, if you said you had a reason that you think would improve your well-being, they could not reject you because

all factors relevant to the well-being of the patient.

Doctor, I'm really freaking out because of the babysitter responsibilities.

Abort it.

Get that thing out of there.

I'm not sure

I'll know somebody who could babysit my kid in the body.

It doesn't matter, don't even think about it, abort it.

That's kind of the New York policy right now.

Okay, I see the difference.

I'm sorry.

But if you were to say, I actually have a wonderful babysitter and they're reasonably priced, and I just, you know, I just, well, I was going to say, if you say you just don't want the baby, that would be enough to get rid of the baby.

If you said, if you walked in and you said, I don't know if I want the baby or not, but please abort it,

I still think that would still qualify, but it would be questionable.

Well, but you'd have to get a doctor to do that.

And if you don't think doctors would come up with a billion reasons to justify very late-term abortions under this law, then you're not familiar with leftist logic.

State Senator Liz Krueger.

I wonder any relation with Freddie.

A manhattan.

I'm going to guess it was through marriage.

Yeah.

I feel like it was through marriage.

Yeah, sure.

That was a choice.

Well, her mother, if it wasn't through marriage and she was related to Freddie, her mother could have said when Liz was in the room, I've already have one demon seed son.

I can't have another child.

Anyway, luckily for her, she wasn't aborted, and she sponsored the act.

And she said, quote, there is nothing radical about this bill.

The decision about whether or not to have an abortion is deeply personal, and it should not have taken this long to get to this day.

So, now here's what the law guarantees to women in New York: you can terminate your child at any time before giving birth.

You can do so without any criminal repercussions.

According to the bill, reasons that might threaten the health of the mother include, Alex Stu said, all factors relevant to the well-being of the patient: physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the women's and the woman's age.

So, you got an unborn kid?

Gosh, I hope that kid doesn't find himself in the womb of a woman in New York.

You're six weeks away from making it out alive, but your mom's really not feeling up to the parental challenge right now.

It's too emotionally draining.

Doctor agrees, yeah, but it's going to be really hard on her.

So, it's best for the mom.

Again, I go to where we started.

Where is the justice

in that?

Whose justice?

I want to give you another story.

The death demand

is going way up.

Now, in Europe, they have, in the Netherlands, they have legalized euthanasia for a long time.

So if you want to see the future, all you have to do now is look to the Netherlands.

And you can see that euthanasia appears to become unstoppable after a few years.

Some of the stories that are now coming out

are pretty

shocking.

The Bible now, of course, has been sidelined.

And reason has been sidelined.

Emotional attachment to anything

at the end of its life or the beginning of the life

has been sidelined.

The Dutch people that are being euthanized began to rise sharply from under 2,000 in 2007 to almost 6,600 10 years later.

Now that's the same number are estimated to have their euthanasia requests turned down as not conforming with the legal requirements.

In 2017, some 1,900 Dutch people just killed themselves, while the number of people who died under sedation, in theory, succumbing to their illness while cocooned from physical

discomfort,

was 32,000.

So, what that means is well over 25%

of all deaths in the Netherlands in 2017 was induced.

That's incredible.

Almost 30%

of all deaths in the Netherlands induced.

Now, here's where it gets bad.

You have to write an advance directive that says, hey, if I get to this state, you got to kill me.

Please kill me.

Whether or not

the family disagrees, or even the patient disagrees.

This is kind of a problem

because there is a growing number of people

who have put a directive together that say, if I get to this state,

I want to die.

So in other words, if I get to the state where I don't recognize my family members,

my life isn't worth living.

And

so there's a growing number of people.

Once you put that directive in, you can't stop that directive.

There's a growing number of people.

And one of the first cases

was

from a woman that said, you know, if I get to this point in my pain, I'm just not going to be able to handle it, and so I want you to kill me.

And so she wrote it down, and she signed it.

Well, she got to that point in her pain, and she said, you know, but I actually can handle it.

Life is...

I'm just not in the space that I was.

And this is more tolerable than I thought.

So, no.

They couldn't take no for an answer.

So they strapped her down to the bed,

and her family held her down as she was injected

and died.

She was killed while saying, no, I've changed my mind.

That is incredible.

I mean, that is, it's the, that's an entire society just giving up their connection to life being important.

Right.

Yeah.

And

deciding

what

life

has meaning and purpose in advance.

I don't know about you, Stu, but I can't believe the change in me.

And just in 15 years,

if you would have asked me 20 years ago, and you know, I probably said this to you 20 years ago, oh my gosh.

I know I said it to Tanya when we got married.

No more children, no more children, no more children.

I don't want any more children.

Okay.

My first wife, I said, no children, I don't want children.

We have two children.

Then I got married and I said, no children.

And Tanya's like, well, then I ain't not marrying you.

I'm like, one.

We have two.

And honest to God,

I am the one begging my wife to adopt more.

We can't have any more children, but I am begging to adopt more.

And I have said, I don't know how many times in the last two years to friends and others, family is the only thing.

It's the only thing.

Have as many children as you possibly can.

And I don't know how I would stand it because they still drive me nuts when they're all talking.

But I love it.

It is the only thing that matters.

Well,

am I bound by what I thought?

20 years ago

of what I wanted, of what I thought was important?

Nothing of of what I thought was important even 10 years ago is the same.

I mean, that is kind of the growth process, right?

Yes.

You know, if not, you are dead.

If you're not growing, if you're not changing, you might as well be dead.

What are you doing?

You should be exploring.

You should be experiencing new things.

You should have new feelings.

You should have new understandings of things.

Yeah, you shouldn't be.

I mean, if you are arguing, Please don't kill me.

There are, with the exception of, I mean, arguably the death penalty, right?

Like, what is the if you're guilty of a capital crime then maybe you could argue for it but in all those cases you pretty much don't kill the person and you know it's amazing

and this is the government enforcing it this is the government enforcing it and why are they enforcing it because you're a drain on society because you're a useless eater that's why since when do

when would somebody say um

you know, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want this,

and the government imposes that law no no no no no there is sorry you signed in everything else in everything else we look the other way oh yeah yeah he was sticking classified documents that he smuggled out of the national archives literally in his underpants and his socks oh well things happen

Here's a woman who's strapped to the bed going, no, I've changed my mind.

Sorry, the law is the law.

And And we should all grow.

And I want to tell you today,

I've looked at this.

I've looked at this.

And I believe I've changed, Stu.

And today I would like to launch a new initiative on this program.

And I've put a little something together.

Listen.

Here it is.

I, I, I, I am, I am.

I am a woman.

And I have a choice.

A choice.

A choice to work.

A choice to achieve.

A choice to succeed.

A choice to fly.

To fly.

To fly.

A choice to be anything.

A choice to be anything that I want to be.

I, I, I, I am, I, I am a woman.

And I have a choice.

I have a choice to be a mother.

I have a choice when it's the morning after.

I have a choice at one month.

I have a choice at three months.

I have a choice in the second trimester.

I have a choice three seconds before birth.

Or three seconds after birth.

I have a choice the first year year when they can't sleep through the night, when they can't sleep through the night.

I definitely have a choice during the terrible twos.

During the terrible twos.

I have a choice when I get sick of little league and soccer practice.

I hate soccer.

I have a choice.

I have a choice when they hit those awkward teen years.

I have a choice when they go off to college.

I have a choice on their wedding day.

Their wedding day.

I have two choices when I become a grandmother.

I'm a mother.

I am a mother.

I am a mother.

And every mother has a right to choose choose their child's expiration date.

No mother.

No mother should have to unwillingly suffer.

Suffer.

Suffer through a day where their child is alive.

Not one single day.

If I want them gone, they're gone.

They're gone.

It's all about women.

It's all about choice.

Choice.

Choice.

It's all about me.

It's all about me.

Me, me.

Me, me, me.

Me, me, me, me.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Join the movement.

Join the movement.

Join the movement.

Hashtag, hashtag mommy's choice.

Make sure you spread that around today.

Hashtag mommy's choice.

And remember, kids, we brought you into this world.

We can take you out.

You know what's frightening about that?

Is

I'm afraid in 10 years we're going to look back at that and go, remember when we did that for comedy?

Yeah, yeah.

Here's Relief Factor.

If you are in constant pain, you're not alone.

There's an estimated 50 million people that miss work due to pain.

That's incredible.

And that's the kind of stuff that leads us to these end-of-life decisions.

And I know it because I've been there.

I can't live another day like this.

It's not worth it.

I know what it is like to have your wife as a man ask your wife to button your shirt or tie your shoes.

It's humiliating.

It's just humiliating.

And it leads you to all kinds of dark places.

You need relief.

I will tell you one place I have found relief, and I have taken it now for a year, three times a day, and it has changed me.

It has changed my life.

It's a relief factor.

Try it for three weeks.

If it doesn't work for you, you'll be out 20 bucks.

If it does, you have your life back.

And 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month, just like me?

I take this three times a day.

I don't tell you things that I don't do.

I take this because it works for me.

Try it.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Abortion is not about choice.

And if you listen to that ad, Mommy's Choice, doesn't that prove it?

I mean, why is it ridiculous that you can't abort your baby three seconds after birth or when they're in their terrible twos.

Why is that ridiculous?

Because you're saying, well, because that person's alive.

Who determines that they're alive?

Well,

we all agree that obviously after birth, they're alive.

But wait a minute, you've been telling me this whole time that while you may morally disagree with abortion, it's up to the mother to be able to make that choice.

It's up to the mother to be able to determine for themselves when that baby is really alive.

And that is why this is ridiculous, because unless you're Peter Singer,

the ethics chief at Princeton, who thinks you can abort babies after birth, and he's at least making a morally consistent argument.

You should be able to choose,

especially in those early years when that baby can't survive without you, why can't you choose to abort the baby then?

It's because we as a society make judgments of legality and other things, morality, that determine these decisions for our society.

And you can't just say an individual's choice

of whether they believe a being is alive or not makes it okay to end their another person's life.

No.

Yes.

No, Stu.

You misunderstand.

Listen, listen.

This is the way it works.

Okay.

When the baby is inside, no matter that baby wanted to be in there for 12 months, that baby is still a choice of the mother.

But the moment that baby gets out and the mother decides, I'm not going to feed it, I'm not going to live with it, I want to kill it,

I want to raise it differently, I want to give it this medication that the doctors disagree, that child belongs to the state.

So as soon as that child gets out, The state owns that child, not even the mother.

The mother does not have the choice.

If the mother disagrees with the hospital that this is the way we should treat this child, the mother's choice choice is taken from her because the mother is clearly unstable.

The mother is clearly crazy.

The mother is clearly religious.

The mother just doesn't know as much as the doctor does or the principal does or the teacher does.

So that mother loses her choice.

This is the only time that a woman now in this society really has a choice on what to do and how to raise a child is when they're in the womb.

We shouldn't be fighting for the choice of mothers in the womb.

We should be fighting for the choice of mothers and fathers outside of the room, the womb.

Because once they're outside, they belong to the state and mom and dad have nothing to say about it.

That's true.

And that is where it dissolves, right?

I mean, think about this for a second.

These late term,

10 minutes before birth,

you can have.

an abortion in New York now if you give any BS excuse at all and they have to accept it.

So if that happens,

what they do is they essentially partially birth the child.

There's different procedures, but essentially what they do is they poison the child inside the womb so it dies inside the womb.

The woman then carries around for a few days and then delivers it anyway.

She's actually delivering the baby anyway.

Can you imagine the trauma of delivering a dead baby?

And how about the dead inside of you?

Let's not forget the trauma of the baby right here.

We're like, if you say I want to avoid the delivery, that's one thing, but like you're actually still delivering the baby.

Just deliver it alive.

It's not traumatic if it's alive.

How traumatic is it that it's dead inside of you?

It makes no sense.

Shame on you in New York.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Tonight on TV, there are going to be phone calls from you to Glenn live at Glennbeck.com,

theblaze.com slash TV.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Pat Gray joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed.

Before you start, I'm going to give you, and these are collector's items now, Stu, or Pat.

The Covington Strong.

Oh, you got one for him?

I got one for you and for Keith so you can wear it and show your support for the kids.

Now, here's the thing: these are collector's items because they went on sale yesterday.

I had these made and shipped down right away.

And

they're collector's items because you can no longer buy the Covington Strong t-shirt at glenbeck.com or shop.blaze.com.

Shop.theblaze.com.

Why?

Because last night I was going through the email and I got a lot of email from people who said, Glenn, we're part of the Covington Catholic school.

And

the mayor came out and said, we don't accept this hate.

We won't allow this kind of hate in our city, blah, blah, blah.

And he speaks for a lot of people in Covington.

This is an attack on the Covington Catholics.

And

please, could you make it Covington Catholic Strong?

And so

the shirts that are available today say Covington Catholic Strong, as we need to support the Catholics and the youth.

So the actual city is against them.

Against the Catholic Church.

Well, the mayor is.

The mayor is.

The mayor is.

And so the city kind of is.

And it really is.

The whole city of Covington isn't under attack.

It is this school that is under attack.

And specifically these kids.

There may actually be a few of the collector's items left.

It still says Covington Strong on the website.

So

it's going to be.

Get them before they change it.

Yeah, they're going to change it soon.

Anyway, you can get that at glennbeck.com or shop.theblaze.com.

And show your support.

It is time.

I was just thinking, Pat, we were talking about abortion here.

And you and I, we've worked together for 30 years.

And there was a time where you and I both are very strong pro-life guys

and we avoided talking about abortion because it was so unseemly and so ugly and so divisive that we thought we're you know we're carrying too many buckets of water here we can only carry so many before we're hated by absolutely everybody um and about three years ago maybe longer than that, five years ago,

we talked about it and as a group, and Pat and I both felt really really bad that we had shut our mouth for so long.

Yeah.

We ceded that fight to the other side, and they won it big time.

Yeah, and we shouldn't have.

We shouldn't have.

So now is the time to start standing.

And this law in New York is horrendous.

Just

horrendous.

Despicable.

And what I love about this is there are some people, even in New York, taking a stand against it.

John Speed, who owns the book Scout in Syracuse, closed his store and posted a sign.

And the sign read, close today.

Today is a day of mourning in the state of New York.

We will not collect taxes today for a tyrannical government that murders babies.

We will resume regular business tomorrow, collecting sales taxes under duress and abortion now.

That's a bookstore owner taking a super strong stand, even closing his business to draw attention to this.

And he said, you know, obviously we'll reopen and we have to pay sales taxes.

We have to.

Otherwise, we'll go to jail.

But we're doing this under protest because we do not support the murdering of babies.

See if we can get that person on.

He's a great talk.

John Speed is his name.

I think Faithwire broke that story.

Yeah.

Dan was all over this.

And

what's interesting about this law, too, is it specifies that non-doctors

can now perform abortions.

Wait a minute.

Non-doctors?

I thought the whole point of the pro-choice movement, keeping it legal and safe, was to make sure that medical healthcare professionals only performed abortions.

This is not in some back alley or whatever.

Who besides a medical professional, a doctor, could commit it?

I honestly don't know if there's somebody who just

is an abortionist.

Does it say doctor?

It says non-physicians may commit abortions.

Non-physicians.

I wonder if that means nurses could do it and nurse practitioners could do it.

I mean, that's crazy if that's true.

This is such a sweeping, all-encompassing law

that it

also states that you won't treat pre-born victims of violence as homicide victims.

So they're afraid.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, they're afraid that that's going to really affect the lives of

some women.

I mean, this is just a ridiculous law and an evil law.

No, it is.

I think it is.

And here's why.

Here's why.

There is no reason.

I mean,

let me play something.

This is a woman who's had several abortions and she's part of this Celebrate Your Abortion movement.

This came out last week.

Listen to this audio.

I also had my first abortion at the Seattle Planned Parenthood.

Woohoo!

Had my first.

Notice I said first.

I did.

I said first, and I don't want Seattle.

I don't want you guys to feel insecure.

It was my best one.

That's funny.

It was my best one.

It's unreal.

Let me just change this.

Let me just change this.

She's talking about killing a child, okay?

And it was my best one.

Seattle, I remember it.

I think about it all the time.

It was my best one.

Now, let's just say that you were working at a vet's office, and your job was to put down the dogs and the cats that came in that needed to be put down.

Okay, that you were not doing this.

You know, this isn't a, hey, I'm going to go and stalk the neighborhood at night and kill these animals.

This is an animal comes in riddled with cancer or has so much pain.

Or you don't have room for it, and it's time.

Because some do stop it.

Some of them do.

I know, but I'm trying to make a point here.

For all the legitimate reasons, you come in with your dog and you put it down, And

the person comes out and says,

that was my first one, and that was great.

Do you not think

that was my first dead puppy?

I loved it.

You might have a serial killer movie.

Seriously,

they would want you in a mental instance.

They would.

They would say you step away from the syringe.

Sign of a serial killer.

Sign of a serial killer.

Imagine bringing in a dog and saying, I want you to put this down.

And then

the nurse or the doctor puts that animal down and you go, oh, yeah.

That was my best one.

You are a psycho.

Six back to lights up a cigarette.

You're a psycho.

No doubt.

You're a psycho.

There's no question about that.

Right.

So how is it that this woman can get on stage or any of these women can get on stage and say, celebrate your abortion.

I don't know anybody who says, Celebrate my dog's euthanasia.

You don't celebrate that.

It is a somber moment.

It is a moving moment.

It is a tough moment.

I thought abortion was a tough choice that no one has to face.

No man could ever make that decision because men don't have to face what it takes to do it.

Well, wait a minute.

Oh, yeah, I remember going to Seattle and having

my child was boarded and killed inside of me.

And

it was my best one.

You're a psychopath.

You're a psychopath.

And that is exactly what we are doing.

To celebrate, to have the governor insist that the buildings in New York change their lights on the Empire State Building and one trade, one, what did they call it?

One World Trade Center.

One World Trade Center.

To change change that and to light them in pink,

it should have been in crimson red for the blood of the innocents.

We're not talking about first-term abortions.

This is so far beyond Roe versus Wade.

Oh, yeah.

Which, by the way, basically just allowed first-term abortions.

First trimester.

First-term abortion.

First trimester.

First, first time.

First trimester.

Yeah.

And that law, I mean, if we went back to Roe, it would be a gigantic move to the right from where we are right now.

It would be an improvement by far.

Remember, we're far to the left of where Europe is on abortion.

And remember, the law here, as

pragmatically utilized here in New York City,

in New York State, excuse me, allowing abortions for nine months, is opposed by 75%

of people who consider themselves pro-choice.

Not 75% of America, 75% of people who consider themselves pro-choice.

It's 85%

of Americans overall.

Another thing to remember about New York is in New York right now, there are more abortions of black babies than live births.

That's an incredible statistic.

How much worse is that going to get?

But Margaret Sanger's dream came true.

I mean, she got it.

Yeah, she did.

What she wanted, she got.

She accomplished it.

Congratulations.

I mean, they praise her so much.

Understand her accomplishments because that's exactly what she wanted at the beginning.

Let me say something I haven't said in a while,

but I warn you, it is true, and more people will be able to see it than the last time I said this.

You must spit yourself out of the system.

If you don't get out of the system of the same old, same old, and I'm beginning to think that that is even being on Twitter, Facebook, or any of it.

It is going downhill so fast.

It is becoming so toxic.

It is,

we don't recognize ourselves anymore.

If the Glenn of 2005 showed up and saw what the Glenn of 2019

is

doing online, reading online,

fighting against online,

I think the Glenn of 2005 or 2008 would say, dude, dude, back away.

This is insane.

What are you doing?

You're dealing with insanity and you're trying to stop the insanity.

Withdraw.

Get yourself and your family together because you ain't going to stop this thing.

And now, this is the part I want to say.

I haven't said in a long time.

We're at a point of choosing.

This is the place where I firmly believe we have warned you about since 2001.

This is the point of choosing and you have to decide.

And I warn you, America, if we don't stop this,

we will make the Nazis look like rookies.

The evil that we are starting to celebrate in this country, tolerate in this country.

Look at what happened with the Covington Catholic kids and how they're portrayed.

If this isn't the time where good is evil and evil is upheld as good, I don't know what it's going to look like when it is that time.

You must firmly plant your feet in good,

kindness, temperance, decency, honor, truth.

Anything else will be a slippery slope and you will shoot right down into the darkness when we are celebrating and cheering.

Oh, my first abortion was my best.

We are headed to very dark places.

My Patriot Supply,

may I suggest that you just prepare for, you know, things

that you don't think are possible right now.

The things that we thought weren't possible are now possible, both good and bad.

This week, My Patriot Supply is helping you with food storage, and they are offering a food kit that averages 2,000 calories a day for four weeks.

That you can live on,

and it's really important.

You know, a lot of places don't have the calories.

They'll give you a lot of fillers in the food.

Go to preparewithglenn.com.

You're going to save $100 on it right now.

It's a four-week food kit that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

It'll last up to 25 years in storage.

And that food is actually good, by the way.

It is good.

Which is a major difference from a lot of these things that they try to sell you?

It is good, and it's 2,000 calories a day.

Do it now.

Preparewithglen.com.

Go to preparewithglen.com.

Do it now for your family.

Well, the socialists have really kind of taken a foothold on this

abortion thing.

The radical New York Democrats passed abortion.

And

now you also have

Vermont that's looking to do the same.

We'll get into that here in a second.

Let me spend ⁇ we have him on now.

This is John Speed.

He's the bookstore owner.

I can't believe you're on.

Thank you so much for calling in.

First of all, good job.

for closing down your store.

I know it was only for a day, but taking a stand against what New York has just done.

Thanks so much.

I didn't think ⁇ I wanted to do something that would be an appropriate reaction to it.

Yeah, I didn't ⁇ once the bill is passed, obviously there's nothing that you can do.

And I did try to talk to our local politicians and that kind of thing, but

I just felt that this was an appropriate response.

What kind of pushback are you getting?

You know, it's been surprisingly, overwhelmingly supportive.

Mostly conservative news outlets seem to be carrying it, and so we're getting tons of telephone calls, emails, private messages, just telling us to keep up the good work.

We have had a little bit of local pushback.

The local

news station here did a brief story on it today, and they kind of misrepresented the bill and acted like they were shocked that they couldn't get a hold of me for a comment, even though the story was that I shut the bookstore bookstore down.

That's funny.

So, John, let me ask you, what's first of all, the name of your bookstore?

John Speed, the Book Scout.

It's my DBA I've had for about 25 years.

Okay.

And we can find you online?

Yeah, John.

It's J-O-N Speedbooks.com.

I hope you weather a storm.

I hope there's no storm actually that comes, but if so,

please count this audience in as supporters who will stand strong with you and let us know how we can help and if you are thinking about buying a book you know what today don't buy it from Amazon today go to john jon speedbooks.com and buy it there instead John thank you so much

First, let me tell you about Relief Factor.

For over four years now, Relief Factor has been helping my team here alleviate pain.

Lots of our listeners have started to take it, and they have stopped feeling the pain they were feeling.

I've been very transparent about the pain that I have.

Sometimes it's been very debilitating.

I started taking Relief Factor about a year ago, and while I still have pain from time to time, it is 90% of the time nowhere near what it was.

It's a big, big improvement.

Huge improvement.

And some days it's just gone.

100% natural, drug-free, created by doctors, four key ingredients that help your body fight against inflammation, and that's the key.

Try the three-week quick start.

It's what I did.

It took it for three weeks.

If it didn't work, I wasn't going to buy another package.

If it did,

I would sign up.

I make that renewal every single month.

Am I going to continue to take it or not?

I'm still taking it over a year later.

ReliefFactor.com.

Call 800-500-8384 or ReliefFactor.com.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glembeck program.

Microsoft fights fake news with NewsGuard integration in its mobile edge browser.

Now, in a bid to fight fake news while you're on your phone, Microsoft's mobile edge browser and on Android and iOS now includes NewsGuards extension.

NewsGuard.

Now it's not there to protect you against phishing or to alert you that the site may be hosting a bad ad that might infect your phone.

No, no, no.

This is Microsoft's anti-malware for your mind.

I'm going to show you who they say is bad and who is good.

Can you guess where the chips might fall on this one?

We begin there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Palm Beach Letter.

And Palm Beach Letter is something from Tika Tiwari.

And Tika is a guy who was a hedge fund guy.

He was, I think, the youngest

partner at Goldman Sachs back in the 90s.

And he learned a lot from the mistakes that were made back in those days of, ah, you know, tech is over.

Get out.

Really?

Is it?

And he actually did a lot of homework on it.

And then when he saw cryptocurrency coming, he saw the same patterns that he saw with

tech, that they would take these big hits, but they wouldn't go out of business.

The good ones would stay, and then they would grow again.

They'd take a big hit.

We asked him to put together a smart crypto course for you, something that will help you understand why crypto course, why cryptocurrency is not going away, why blockchain is not going away, and how it feeds into the future.

Look at Venezuela today.

I mean, the whole country is going crazy.

They've had a million percent inflation.

It's a huge, huge story.

Socialism failing right before our eyes, yet again.

Again, I'm a month, I'm 20, what, 20-some days away from being right, again, on one of my predictions from last year.

And 20-something days from being right is another way of saying being wrong.

That's the same thing, what you just said.

But I would say that with cryptocurrency,

I don't know why you're keeping me around sometimes.

Cryptocurrencies, though, it is a you see the people pouring their money into Bitcoin because they don't want to deal with the with the government fiat currency.

And you know, unless you think the world's going to be stable, because you know, the visa payment systems all work fine in those situations.

You don't need to protect your situation, you know, in a, in a, in a perfectly civil world.

If it goes the other direction, though, There is a way to protect your money and people all over Venezuela are fighting.

In Argentina, they're doing this now.

In China, China, it's happening like crazy.

Here's the thing: I would just

learn about it first.

Worry about investing it, just learn about it first.

Take the smartcrypto course.com or call 877-PBL Beck.

First thing you have to always do is your own homework and understand it, then make your decision if it's something of the future and that you want to get involved with.

SmartCryptoCourse.com.

Go there now.

Microsoft is fighting fake news

and they've they've just come out with their news guard

now the news guard is something they will give you a green check mark when you go to the website or a red shield that says look out this is an untrustworthy news site

now they've

They've done this anti-malware for the mind for you

And so the green check marks are awarded to CNN, green checkmark, MSNBC, green checkmark.

NBC News, green checkmark.

Washington Post, green.

Slate, green checkmark.

The New Yorker, green checkmark.

The Guardian, green checkmark.

Huffington Post, green checkmark.

Vice News, green checkmark.

TMZ, green checkmark.

Buzz freaking news, BuzzFeed news.

Are you kidding me?

BuzzFeed green checkmark.

The Blaze, nah, red.

Red.

Daily Wire, red.

Red.

Drudge, red.

Wait a minute.

So I looked into it this morning on what exactly do you have to do to get the green check mark?

And

some of these I agree with Microsoft and some of them I don't when it comes to the Blaze.

But I thought I'd get our

managing editor on the phone now, Leon Wolf.

Hello, Leon.

How are you?

Hey, Glenn.

Good to talk to you.

Good to talk to you.

You know, we have a red shield.

I do.

I do.

You know, they contacted me about this a few months ago and asked me some questions via email.

And it was obvious what was going on, even from the introductory email here.

Kind of ridiculous, but it's a fun day to be talking about this.

Is it?

You know, just this morning, I was reading NBC News, Green Check Mark, NBC News, story.

They had this Nathan Phillips guy on

Covington.

Savannah Guthrie interviewed him, and they're writing up the interview, and they do stuff like this.

They say,

Nathan Phillips says that the teens around him were chanting Build the Wall.

There's no, that's it.

Like, period.

That's it.

There's no, like, and also the video shows that was absolutely not true because we have video of the entire confrontation.

Why was that happening?

They have, Nathan Phillips says, they were blocking his access to where he wanted to go, period.

And there's no, like, in the interest of responsibility, we feel compelled to tell you that the video shows he was heading in one direction, stopped, and headed over to confront the students, even by his own admission in other interviews that he's given.

So it's a fun day to be discussing this for sure.

But

basically.

So let me just say this.

We got a green check mark.

There are nine categories.

And we got a green check mark.

Does not repeatedly publish false content.

Oh, well, thank you for that.

But I don't know if I can give that to MSNBC.

No, no, no.

Or in this case, NBC.

In the case of Trump, CNN.

Right.

We also, Daily Beast.

Got a cream check mark.

You and I know.

Oh.

They published, since I've been here, probably over half a dozen stories about this company that we know to be false because we were there.

We were there.

We were there.

By the way, I'm wondering if the Daily Beast is writing about

all of the layoffs from Condé Nast.

Let me just go through them.

Vanity Fair,

I think, had some cutoffs.

BuzzFeed is cutting 15%.

Didn't we cut 10% and they said we were over?

BuzzFeed cutting 15%.

Verizon Media cutting 7%.

New layoffs at Gannett Papers.

These are all today.

I'm just wondering if the Daily Wire is declaring those institutions dead as well.

You meant the Daily Beast, not the Daily Wire.

Yeah, Daily Beast.

Daily Beast.

Okay, hold on.

Another reason to give you a red shield.

You can't even get the Daily Things right anymore.

You're right.

You're right.

Okay, so the first one does not repeatedly publish false content.

Thank you for that, Microsoft.

Gathers and presents information responsibly.

We get a green check mark.

We get a red check mark or a shield because we don't regularly correct or clarify errors.

And this is just absolutely false.

And look, we're human beings just like anybody else, and sometimes we make mistakes.

But I think that we go above and beyond any media source that I'm aware of in terms of transparency with which we correct errors.

And I'll tell you, just in the interest of being fair and forthcoming, we we got burned like a lot of people did a couple weeks ago with that statement that supposedly was made by The Rock.

I don't know if you remember this whole incident where Dwayne The Rock Johnson allegedly said all these things about snowflakes and so on and so forth.

We had no way of knowing that it was fake.

It was reported everywhere.

So we kind of reported and summarized his comments.

You know, he came out later that afternoon and said, it's not true.

I never said this.

That interview was fake.

We went,

pulled down the entire story and put it in its place.

You know, we apologize.

We had reason to believe that he said this.

But, you know, he's come out and said that it wasn't true, and we regret having published this and are sorry to our audience.

We even changed the headline so that if people clicked on it, they wouldn't see, you know, because people do on the internet.

They just read the headline, and that's it.

We cleaned, we changed the entire headline to just say, Rock says he never made those comments, totally fake, I never met it.

We pulled it down off all our social pages.

We went above and beyond.

Well, it took,

by contrast, the Washington Post corrected, what, yesterday that Nathan Phillips was not a Vietnam veteran, even though that information came out after like 30 minutes of people looking around on the internet.

So, I don't know.

I will say that what got them, what they said when they initially contacted me was they brought up a couple of old stories about which there was controversy, and they said, look, PolitiFact says that this is not true.

Well, PolitiFact is a left-leaning organization, and the stories in question were stories about which there was kind of a factual dispute.

You know, the left and the right were looking at it different ways.

And look, we don't recognize the authority of PolitiFact to say what's true or not true.

I mean, that's part of our job is news.

So that's where we are in that.

So the next one is handles the difference between news and opinion responsibly.

Right.

So their complaint about this, and if you go to our site,

you have, you know, clips of like you from your show.

Today, there will be two or three clips that'll have a video and then we'll have a little text write-up.

And it'll say, you know, today on Glenn's program, he talked about this and a lot of that is your opinion.

And they say, well, why isn't this stuff more clearly labeled opinion commentary?

Or, you know, so why doesn't it have a huge thing this is just opinion up there?

Well, do they have that for Rachel Maddow?

Does NBC have that for Rachel Maddow?

Yeah, if you go to MSNBC right now and look at, click on Rachel Maddow in the top right-hand corner and click on her links, there's nothing on there that says this is Rachel's opinion.

Or on the right for Fox News, it's the same thing.

You click on the Hannity clips, there's not a big thing that says opinion or commentary or anything like that so it is a double standard i think in that case avoids deceptive headlines i think they kind of have a point on this but they have a point on this with everybody everybody should get an x on this

well i think that we we try to be as as fair as absolutely possible with our headlines i mean we really do yeah and we go through cycles there are times when you know i'll i'll read some of a come on and we change it um so we have gone through cycles we're better some days than we are on other days

Right.

That's absolutely.

I think that that's fair.

But I think that, you know, definitely as far as it comes through us, you know, we try to be fair.

And there are some times, you know,

just by the nature of the staffing we are, we don't always have time to look at every single headline before it goes on the site.

You know, we talk about those things with our writers and try to say, look, even if the story is accurate, we want the headline to be fair, not just accurate, but fair to everybody involved as well.

We don't want to drag people through the mud needlessly,

you know, and especially if we're not 100% sure and certain of our facts, even if they're people who are our political enemies.

So that's something I think that we do try to do.

Reb's website discloses ownership and financing.

I mean, up until just a couple of weeks ago, everybody knew who that was.

I mean,

it was in every single article written about the Blaze.

Yeah,

I really just don't even understand that.

Clearly labels advertising.

Anytime there's an advertising on our site that is not just a box ad, which are clear,

it'll say sponsored content.

It says that right up at the top.

And I've been very clear.

Do not let people click on stuff that doesn't say sponsored content.

I don't want to trick people into ads.

I completely agree.

And

all I know is that that's been the case since I've been here as well.

You know, that's something I've been adamant about as well.

And a lot of, you know, sites do this, where they present, you know, text, you know, stories that like, you know, that kind of look like stories, but you know, we, you and I have both been insistent with everybody on the ad sales team or whatever.

They're going to say, this is a sponsored link.

This is, you know, sponsored by such and such and such and such.

And I believe that we've been completely above board with that.

I'm not aware of a single instance where that

reveal who's in charge, including any possible conflicts of interest.

And that one ties into this.

Site provides the name of content creators along with either

contact or biographical information.

Leon, we go further than anyone else, do we not?

Yeah.

Yeah,

if you go and you click now, I mean, I just did this with a story that was at the top by our writer Aaron Cole and you click and it has a little bio.

You know, Aaron went to such and such school and worked, you know, for, you know, it has his little

picture.

I don't think that anymore, you know, we did just do a redesign of the site about a month ago.

I don't think the feature that you used to be able to just click there and send them an email, I believe that that's broken.

I I just discovered that today.

But until a month ago, you were able to send and click an email or whatever, however, you wanted to contact our reporters, you could certainly do that.

We even go to the goal of the story.

I mean, at least up until a month ago, we were doing goal of the story.

I even wanted to have,

you know, their standing.

Are they libertarian?

Are they conservative?

Are they liberal?

I mean, we've gone more than anyone else on this.

This just goes to show you that the shield, and this is the first one, they're all going to do this.

If they find no problem with BuzzFeed and CNN and MSNBC and they say that Rachel Maddow, well, they separate news from opinion, but they do it exactly the way we do, there is no use to this shield.

But I warn you, it's another attack on the right

voices in America.

Anybody who disagrees with the big conglomerates and the big old line media and those in Silicon Valley, you're going to be in trouble.

And it's why we're building the Blaze.

We all have to stick together.

We have to hang together or we will surely hang separately.

Leon, thank you so much.

By the way, you can contact him

at Leon Wolf

at the Blaze or follow him on Twitter at LeonH.

Wolf.

Never more than a minute away from great content on the program.

American Finance is our sponsor this half hour.

There is a story out today from the Wall Street Journal, and this makes me really happy.

You like this story, Stu?

No pay stub, no problem.

Unconventional mortgages make a comeback.

Yay!

That does seem unconventional to not require a pay stub.

It does.

I think it's going to work out well this time.

Well, the problem is, just like socialism, the other times it's been tried, it wasn't tried right

you know the the no pay stub mortgage just wasn't done the right way last time you're right lenders issued 34 billion dollars of these unconventional mortgages in their first three quarters of 2008 great

that's wonderful news i can't i can't see how it's going to add up to any sort of problem

We just don't learn.

You could go with someone who's responsible, who doesn't necessarily...

But who would that be?

Well, maybe AmericanFinancing.net.

I'm just going to throw that one out there.

how do you know they're responsible well they first of all they're not uh they're not they're they're salary-based and not commission-based so they're not out to try to sell uh banks they're not getting uh sell you loans like that they're trying to get you the best deal plus they don't take kickbacks from specific banks and things like that so because that's a lot of times what gets encouraged take this crazy loan and you'll get a kickback just make them take that loan well american financing doesn't do that i've dealt with them myself they're they're really they're actually rational and when you talk about banks and and mortgages a lot of times you don't get that behavior I think these guys are great.

They weathered the 08 storm.

Yep.

And they're going to weather the next one.

And they have, you know, access to every single kind of loan out there, but they're not going to put you in a loan that is stupid.

It is AmericanFinancing.net.

You need to buy your house.

You need to get a second mortgage.

You want to buy a second house.

Whatever you want to do.

AmericanFinancing.net is there.

The Blaze is an unwetworthy trust, trust, untrustworthy source for you, but NBC is not.

Just think about it just with this Covington story.

They are still

today

allowing Nathan Phillips to get on and spew lies.

Lies.

And

it's not like, well, you could look at it that way.

No, no, no, no.

There is no other way to look at it because we have video evidence.

It's all on camera.

It's all on camera.

It's impossible to be fooled by this one unless you want to be fooled by it, unless you want to mislead people about it.

And the fact that they're putting Phillips on, we have a clip of this.

Do you want to hear it?

Yes, please.

Here is Nathan Phillips about what he thought was going on in the situation.

When I was there and I was standing there and I seen that group of people in front of me and I seen the angry faces and all of that, I realized I had put myself in a really dangerous situation.

You know, there's like, here's a group of people who were angry at somebody else.

Stop for a second.

Stop for a second.

Nathan, I am watching the smiling faces of the boys.

The boys were doing a pep cheer, which they do every

year.

They've done it for the last 10 years

on the steps.

They were actually trying to help the Native Americans this time,

help the Native Americans because of the hatred

from the black Israelites.

So,

Wade, you turned from the black Israelites who were screaming at you that you were a false God, screaming literally at you,

that you were a false God,

and you found the hate on the faces of the boys, because I'm having a hard time squaring that with the videotape.

And when you listen to him talk about the black Hebrew Israelites that were yelling all these horrible things at not only the boys, but also the Native Americans, what he says is, well, you know, they were saying some tough things, but a lot of them were right.

And they were up on their soapbox and they were saying a lot of things that were true.

Yeah, well, there's even more here.

Go ahead.

Front of that.

And

all of a sudden, I'm the one who's all that anger and all that

wanting to

have the freedom to just rip me apart.

You know, that was scary.

I'm sure you were intimidated by him.

I'm a Vietnam Times veteran, and I know

that mentality

of

now,

I will say that we have filed for a Freedom of Information Act, and there is one going out around now.

And if it is true,

yeah,

that's not you.

That's not you.

And I'm not going to get into the rumor mark mongering because the the freedom of information act the government is closed so we can't get it now maybe somebody had some inside job but uh

i just i point this out because when the government does open we are getting his service record and if it's anything

like what is now being passed around

This guy is even more of a fraud than you thought he was.

Hard to believe that's possible, honestly, at this point.

He's blatantly lying to every media source, and none of them seem to have any problem with it.

We're all fine with it.

They just are reporting what he says.

No questions.

That way they're clean.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

Okay.

Covington Catholics, stay strong.

Simply Safe.

I want to talk to you a little bit about Simply Safe

crime is going going to go up as more and more people envy and more and more people suffer and more and more people

The Glenbeck Action News Team in action this morning.

We have some.

We have.

I don't think that's a teletype, but.

Sounds just like an electric type, but I'll take it.

The Action News Team has some grave news to report this morning.

News that affects every man, woman, and child on this planet.

You probably aren't aware of this, but according to forecast by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we are all now dead.

We just don't know it yet.

An update at 11.

The people you see walking down the street, your co-workers, the driver in the car next to you, right now, even Stu across the table who has sports for you in a few minutes, and the rest of the staff here in the Action News News Newsroom.

All of us dead.

And it is our fault.

You see, in 2017, it marked a watershed year for those who believe in

anthro man-made climate change.

Last year was a great tipping point where our actions, America's greed, where the consequences of our modern society, our technology-centric lives that require energy and industrial production, last year we reached the point of no return.

Our own need to own a car, to have electricity in our homes, a 65-inch 4K TV.

Oh, those are sweet.

And to provide just a better living for our children, killed us in the end.

Capitalism killed us and destroyed most of the animal life on the planet as well.

According to many climate alarmists, aka scientists citing studies produced or published by the IPCC, it's already too late.

From this year forward, the damage we have already done is so great, according to the United Nations, that it is irreversible.

We didn't heed the warnings from Al Gore and that really cute guy from Titanic.

We didn't heed the warnings of Matt Damon, Oprah Winfrey, and yes, even Bill Nye, the science guy.

We didn't listen, and now we're all dead.

Except,

maybe not.

There is some good news.

It turns out we may have some time left.

Miraculously, out of the Twitter sphere comes our salvation.

The governor of Washington, the state, has granted us a temporary stay of execution.

Governor Jay Inslee has indicated just this morning that it is definitely not too late.

Not siding with the IPCC or the consensus of all of the scientists except for the really bad ones that should be in jail or killed, apparently we have 59 days left to do something.

Inslee tweeted earlier this week, we have just 59 days to do our part to save children from an endless cycle of crop-killing droughts one year and rivers spilling their banks the next.

To save the salmon from dying.

Sorry, I was just thinking of my kids and they said something funny the other day.

To save...

To save the salmon from dying in ever-warming rivers and our forest from being reduced to plumes of ash.

That all sounds pretty dire, but still better than us dead, as we were just a few minutes ago.

But we all have only 59 days to buy a Prius and start composting.

Perhaps even better news, just handed to me.

We also have received a royal pardon.

Out of the halls of Buckingham Palace, we learn today that Prince Charles has declared that Jay Inslee is wrong.

We now actually have 35 years to tackle climate change.

The price of capitalism and consumerism is just too high, the Prince told a group of industrialists.

This, indeed, gang, is exciting news.

I wasn't even going to go throw it to the buxom weather, babe, because I thought, what's the point in weather if we're all dead?

And who really cares about sports if we're going to be dead in 30 or 53 days?

Main reason I do care about sports, Glenn.

But now that we have 35 years.

What's interesting about Prince Charles' proclamation about the climate tipping point is that it isn't his first.

In July of 2009, after meeting with scientists from the European Union who provided studies to the IPCC, Charles declared that we had a mere 96 months to implement changes and curb our behavior and populations to save the world.

He stood firmly by that forecast until the 96 months passed, when he indicated we probably have a little more time.

Of course, if the original tipping point were a mere eight years in 2009, the new tipping point is 35 more years from now than his original forecast, which should have been 44 years, which is off by just a hair.

Maybe we should forgive the prince.

After all, he's just a prince, and he's relying on the opinions of top UN scientists.

I mean, after all, he had two choices in women.

He killed the pretty woman.

Now, all we have to do is...

This is a news project?

Sorry, that was opinion by this journalist.

That's why you get a red shield.

That's why it happens.

This is the action news team.

Don't you hear the credibility of the

somewhat kind of like teletype thing in the back?

Nobody even knows what a teletype is these days, but we still rip and read.

So now we have until 2052 before capitalism destroys us.

Then again,

maybe not.

If we examine their track record, it is clear that UN scientists may be using nothing more than a crystal ball and horoscope section of the National Enquirer, which has been discredited ever since it got into

bed with Donald Trump.

Before then, it was impeccable.

In 1982,

the then UN Environmental Program issued a stark warning that industrialized countries only had 10 years to curb smog and ozone-depleting chemicals before the world would reach a climate tipping point where the sun would cook the planet, causing the death of all life.

That would have been in 1982.

They re-upped the ANI with another report in 1989, just in time to tell us we're safe for a few more years.

They issued the same timeline

in 1989 saying now we would all be dead by 1999.

But this time they turned their attention for the first time to carbon dioxide and other chemicals they identified as pollutants caused by the burning of fossil fuel.

In 1996, then 2002, then 2007, the UN revised its doomsday clock over and over each time, extending the estimate of the climate tipping point by seven years, then 12 years, then 10 years.

Other environmental groups and activists have also gotten into the action.

In 2009, James Hansen of NASA declared before Congress that we only had the length of Obama's first term through 2012 to prevent man-made climate catastrophe.

If only those 2012 predictions were true, that's how much we would have skipped.

That's it.

I mean, think about it.

Don't make this journalist think

that way, please.

I mean, we even got a movie out of it.

I'm serious.

I've got a rolling stool and a rope in the other room.

This sentiment was

echoing a fundraising newsletter put out by the World Wildlife Federation, which stated earlier in 2009 that humankind only had another five years to avert disaster.

In a recent article by Climate

Depot, they point out that a review of press articles and media coverage going back to 1980 finds no fewer than 1,250 articles quoting scientists, politicians, celebrities, and pundits all giving us various climate tipping points, predictions of some date in the future that will represent a Rubicon that if we cross without dramatically shifting our capitalist behavior, it will spell our inescapable demise.

According to climate alarmists, we seem to be serially doomed.

But given the track record of hundreds upon hundreds of different such predictions, all proven to be utter nonsense, a reasonable person is forced to ask, why should we listen to anything these people have to say?

Especially if we only have 12 years left.

Now on to sports.

Oh, yes.

Does nobody have a memory?

Does nobody have a memory?

At some point when you get the wrong prediction over and over and over and over again, you're supposed to adjust, maybe change the person you're listening to, maybe get less dire, maybe get less certain, and yet they get more and more certain.

If you're in constant pain, you're not alone.

An estimated 50 million people are missing work because of pain.

50 million people.

Most Americans spend about $2,000 a year to combat their pain, and 66% to live the rest of their life in pain.

Pain is an epidemic, and I am not a believer in

pain.

I just don't think that there is a reason.

When we have drugs to take us out of pain, there's no reason.

However, with every drug comes a trade-off, and if you are young like me,

that felt weird for the first time in my life saying it.

If you are young like me, you don't want to think of the next 30 years of your life in constant pain.

That's why Relief Factor is there.

100% drug-free.

It's created by doctors.

I urge you to try their three-week quick start.

It's only $19.95.

It's a dollar a day.

It's a trial pack.

You try it for three weeks.

That's what it takes to get your body to calm down the inflammation with Relief Factor.

It's low impact.

It's low cost.

It's not, you're not putting anything crazy in your body, right?

I mean, why wouldn't you try this if you're dealing with this pain on a regular basis?

I can lose $20.

Yes, and you might at the end of it, like 70% of the people who take take it do

not have pain.

Greatly reduce your pain.

I don't know, get your life back.

I know it was worth it to me.

I still take it a year after the trial.

If you want a drug-free, natural way to ease your pain and get your life back, go to ReliefFactor.com.

That's relieffactor.com.

From George Orwell's 1984

He didn't know how long she had been looking at him,

but perhaps for as much as five minutes, and it was possible,

it was possible that his features had not been perfectly under control.

It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in public, any public place, or within range of a telescreen.

The smallest thing could give you away, a nervous tick, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself, anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide.

In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face, to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example, it itself was a punishable offense.

There was even a word for it in News Speak.

It was called

face crime.

The TSA is now training special personnel to wander wander airports and ask travelers questions and to watch their face expressions when they respond.

Questions like, Where are you going?

You going on vacation?

The TSA believes they can train the TSA members to be observers to notice micro-face expressions.

Face crime.

But I don't have to go to the TSA because I think everybody in the mainstream media and many people in the country are part of the face crime sport.

They think it's fun now,

but it will be an armed force at some point.

Didn't we all commit face crime when we saw a kid smirk?

Weren't we looking at his face?

And in combination with that hat, I think I know what he was saying.

I think I know what he was thinking.

And one misstep of a smirk,

one

if I may quote, one nervous tick, an unconscious look of anxiety,

anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide,

to wear an improper expression on your face, to look incredulous when a victory was announced, or to smile when a Native American was pounding a drum in your face.

That was punishable.

You know, I used to say, and

I knew I was right because I knew it didn't really come from me.

I knew that when I would say, you're going to come to a place where you don't recognize your country,

that it would happen.

But I didn't think this.

I really thought we would wake up before we got here.

And we're still dead asleep.

We really are.

We're still dead asleep.

This is happening with actual video.

I mean, imagine around the corner when we have the deep fakes situation going on, and technology is bringing us down

these paths where, I mean, right now, you know, foreign governments could do this.

Okay, so let me just play this out.

What Stu is talking about is called deep fakes.

And And the government is preparing for a time, and they believe 2020 will be the tipping point of this.

It might be, it'll be before 2024's election, but I think we'll start to see it in 2020.

And what a deep fake is, is videotape or audio of anybody who's running for something doing something.

For instance, Donald Trump actually throwing a girl against the wall and fondling her.

And you see it on tape, and you're like, that's Donald Trump.

That's not an actor.

Look at his face.

That's Donald Trump.

You'll see it.

Well, it'll be what's called a deep fake.

With algorithms, you can make this now

look

real.

Yeah, it's not all the way there yet.

No, it's getting there.

But it's getting there.

And it's getting there quickly.

And I should say this on the consumer basis, it's getting there quickly.

I mean, God only knows what they have.

You have it already on your phone, except, you know, if you're fooled by that's an actual panda leaving you a message, you know, a cartoon panda, then you're mistaken.

But that's what it is.

That's similar to that.

Yes, similar technology

on the same road.

If we don't have deep fakes and we have evidence on video that that didn't happen and yet we still convict that kid today,

what happens when the video looks real and other video comes out to show, no, that's a deep fake?

We're already down that road.

We believe what we want to believe.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenbeck program.

All right.

Steve Dace came out a couple of days ago and he said, the president can't fold on the border thing or it's going to be really bad for him in 2020.

Others are coming out and saying, oh, he's got to fold on the border thing because his poll numbers are going down.

I'm coming out and saying, you know, I don't care what Nancy Pelosi does, but Donald Trump, please, please don't cancel the State of the Union because I just think there's just too much fun.

You know, he says he's going to do it

once the government opens back up, but please don't do that.

We have some suggestions for you, and we'll get there in one minute.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I want to talk to you a little bit about hating salads.

I hate salads.

I hate things that are green.

I hate things that grow in the ground.

You know, some things are good.

Mango, perfect, wonderful.

Notice the color, not green.

Bananas, not green, although better.

And the only thing that grows on a tree or grows from the ground that is better when it's just slightly green.

This commentary really makes it shocking you've had so many health problems.

Doesn't it?

Yeah.

Doesn't it?

When you think about it in perspective, it's really a surprise.

Yeah.

Oh, I am an enemy of God when it comes to salads.

I will not comply.

A chicken salad.

You do that.

You go with a chicken salad sometimes.

Sure.

What color are chickens?

Not green.

All right.

Field of greens.

What this is, is it's, you know, if you watch Mary Poppins, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.

This is a spoonful of green helps the salad go down.

And you just stir this into whatever you're drinking and knock it back, and you have all the servings of green that you need.

I wish they could concentrate it enough so it was all the servings I needed for the rest of my life, but it doesn't work that way.

Again, another conversation with God to be had at a later date.

BrickhouseGlen.com right now.

You can get everything you need nutrition-wise.

you are ingesting all the good stuff from those greens.

Promo code Glenn, you'll save 15%.

All right.

We have Andrew Heaton joining us.

And

I wanted to bring Andrew in because

we have a tremendous opportunity

as a nation next week to forever rid ourselves of the State of the Union, which I think would be great.

Yeah, because you're not a royalist.

You're an actual constitutional Republican.

Yes, and here's the idea.

This was supposed to be a letter from time to time

from the president.

That's what it says.

The president shall, from time to time, give a state of the union to the Congress.

And it was always a letter until radio and television showed up.

That also implies that the founders of the country were like, you know what?

The president's probably going to be so removed from this whole process.

We need to have a constitutional provision that requires him to occasionally brief us and what he's up to.

That's like

because he's just out fishing.

Right.

You know,

once every couple of years, come in, let us know what you've been working on.

I think this country would be a lot better

if Donald Trump would give the State of the Union address next week, either in line at a McDonald's or just hanging up the phone from ordering a pizza.

And so, look, I got to get this, but I'm really close to the pizza parlor.

It'll be here any minute.

So let me just tell you, once the doorbell goes off, I'm gone.

That would be great if he did it, if he did it during a phone call to order a pizza.

So he's like, my fellow Americans, the State of the Union, yeah, medium, is strong.

And

you guys want pepperoni?

I'm going to get pepperoni.

I'm going to get sausage too.

And the border, like, I would be fantastic.

I would love it.

I hope he live tweets the whole thing from Burger King.

That is my goal.

I think he is, I think he's actually, he said yesterday he's going to do it later once the government opens up.

This is a big moment.

He likes his big moments, right?

It's a big TV.

It's a big TV moment.

We are talking about Trump.

He does like attention.

I don't see.

I would like if Trump tweets out, hey, we're not an imperial power.

I'm just going to send out a PDF of the State of the Union address.

Everybody stay at home and read your Kindle.

I would be like, like, oh, he's been captured.

This is

like

the pod people take it over him.

Deep state.

He's audio and animatronic.

So I've heard some people are speculating that he would go down to the border.

And let me tell you something.

Remember when we went down to the border?

I didn't go, but yes, I do remember when you went.

I said it was too dangerous for you.

Went down to the border, did it at night.

We were there during the day and night, and

we went in and you could watch people coming over the border at night.

It's amazing.

And no one came over this bridge.

Now we were under the bridge and the bridge goes over the

river and there's there's really nothing but kind of like woods area down underneath this bridge.

And at one point I'm down in the woods with the border agents and people are running everywhere.

And I said, how come nobody just comes over the bridge?

And he said, it's actually because of the drug lords.

He said, the drug lords tell everybody.

Now, this is under Obama, when all you had to do was say to a border agent,

I'm a refugee.

I need

asylum.

Okay.

You were in.

No matter what was going on, if you said those words, you were in.

And it was very clear to everybody.

But all these people were coming in on the cover of darkness and paying these smugglers and risking their life coming across the river, et cetera, et cetera.

And I said, bridge, because that's all they have to say.

And he said, said, yes, the drug lords tell them that's a lie.

And so you have to go with them over the river.

And usually what happens is if there's two people, they'll make it so expensive that only one can go.

And the other one has to stay there with the drug lords until that other person does some favor for them in the United States.

And that will pay for the passage of the other person.

So

we're growing crime.

We're putting these people in horrible situations.

I think the president should go down to the border and stand on that bridge at night and say, and not with a crowd, just I'm here, just as a little podium on this empty bridge at night.

I'm here at the border, and this is what it's all about.

And I know people have come and, you know, come during the day, but this is what it happens.

And right now, right on this side of the bridge and this side of the bridge, there are people crossing and there are border guards that are risking their life.

And this is what this is all about.

I think that would be a great, a great statement.

I don't know

because he is so theatrical, I don't know why he's not using this as a, oh,

Ted Cruz invited me to do it at the Senate.

I'm going to do it there.

Why is he not doubling down on this?

It was very strange yesterday, too, where he kind of called out Pelosi and said, all right, if you're going to cancel me, cancel it.

Go ahead.

I dare you.

And she's like, okay, I cancel it.

And he's like, okay, we'll do it after then.

It was a weird Donald Trump reaction to her calling him out.

But hadn't he also, he'd also at one point canceled her plane flights to Belgium and things.

She's going back and forth.

Because she can't, which was a wonderful display of our elected leaders

really being adults in the room.

I love that.

Actually, that was fun.

No, I watched that.

I do a podcast on The Blaze, Something's Off with Andrew Heaton.

And I was like, how can I turn this into like a 10-minute rom-com starring Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump?

I think there's a story there.

I'm also,

I'm trying to come up with a way to make shut down the musical.

I think that that would actually be a really good Broadway musical.

I just, I don't, I don't have the.

Well, it's a happy musical.

Yeah, yes, exactly.

Everybody's thrilled.

Everybody's thrilled.

Everybody leaves on a new high.

It's shut down the musical.

Now, how much of your distaste for the State of the Union is based on the fact that the 100-year or so tradition of writing it in a letter was broken by Woodrow Wilson.

Well,

a lot of it,

but it is only beaten by

being forced to view all of the Cretans

that say horrible things about Obama or about Donald Trump online.

And then when he's walking down that damn aisle, those are the ones that are trying to stop and get a selfie with him.

Oh, it's so frustrating.

It's just like, ick,

ick.

I just, I just,

ick.

Do you think, does Trump like that?

Maybe he likes the fact that they all have to kind of kiss his ass.

I think he likes attention and he likes fawning.

I think he's a big fan of it.

My other hope, by the way, I was thinking about the other thing.

My main hope is that he tweets from Burger King.

My secondary hope is that he realizes how desperately he needs to give a State of the Union address and tries to sneak in to the House inside of a horse costume.

That's my kind of like a little rascal sketch.

And people are like, well, that's not the president.

That's clearly a horse that's wandered into the House of Representatives.

He takes off there.

We need to get the horse wrangler, the House horse wrangler.

It's probably, I don't know, some guy from Texas.

And he gets to the podium and just starts doing it until they drag him off.

It would be really fun.

It would be a fun day to comment.

I really honestly do think that there are things that he could do that would be tremendous.

For instance, come on, he's the president.

He's got to be able to get into the House chamber.

It's closed.

Get that guy who always says, Mr.

Speaker, get that guy.

He's got the keys.

Open up the doors.

and then him walk in imagine if he imagine this

uh he gets a live uh cam okay not a fixed camera but a live cam that's up on a shoulder and maybe a couple of them like he's doing snapchat or no no no like well he could do it on he could do it on you know facebook or something but uh he's got a you know he's got a a mobile camera crew and the limousine pulls up to the back of the Capitol and he opens up the limousine door and he's like, okay, this is the thing you don't always see this place is usually teeming with cretons and they're all getting ready to either clap or sit down and not clap depending on who's president

um so uh tonight's tonight i'm supposed to give the state of the union uh but nancy pelosi said uh no

but i don't really care because uh

those people really they're not representing you and you know what this is like i'm gonna in fact get the guy with the keys you know the guys mr speaker yeah go ahead get him is that him over there yeah open up the doors will you now he's in now he's in waiting for the doors to open up and then he mockingly says mr.

Speaker in the dark room the president of the United States and he's got in his pocket a little clap machine where he pushes it and goes

then he goes down and he just kind of sits on the rail in the house And he says, look, I'm going to give you the state of the union.

And because they didn't show up, I don't think it's that hard.

I'm just, you know, that's where the Democrats sit.

And this is on the right is where the Republicans sit.

And I can just do this myself.

So here's what I'm going to do.

And he starts talking about the state of the union.

And he just presses

that little clap thing.

Yeah.

And maybe he says that's from, you know, and he looks over to the left.

Okay, they'd be clapping at that one.

And then he says something else.

They'd be clapping at that one.

But they wouldn't, these people over here, they'd still be sitting down.

I just want to just, I mean, I can do this as a one-man show and just mock it.

I would enjoy that.

I would, you know, what that would be, that would be a good way to kind of conclude, hopefully, the imperial address to the nation.

So, we have a whole network planned for State of the Union.

I'm trying to convince them that if he doesn't do something,

I'm trying to suggest that maybe we still go through with it, but we get Mark Levin to do a five-minute State of the Union.

We get Steven Crowder to do, if he were president, do your State of the Union.

I'd do my State of the Union.

All the big names would do the State of the Union as they would deliver it if they were Donald Trump today.

What would they say?

If they were president, what would you do?

That's a great idea.

That would be a great speech.

That would be great.

One way or another, we're doing a State of the Union address, I think.

Is that true?

I don't think that's true.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be true.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be true.

Oh, okay.

I'm pretty sure.

Pretty sure.

Oh, all right.

He seems sure, Andrew.

I don't know how to react to that, but

they're making stuff for it either way.

They've reached out to me to come up with some color commentary for the State of the Union.

So I will figure out a way to

do it.

I mean, even if it's a puppet show,

I might do a puppet show.

I might do the State of the Union.

If I were president, I would 100% invite Astor and Waldorf, the two old Muppet guys, into the media gallery.

1,000% I would do that and

gesture to them and like get a standing ovation to the two old hangry Muppets.

What's wrong with this guy?

It would be tremendous.

All right.

By the way,

you know, let me come back to you, Andrew Hoo, for just a second.

Then we're going to get to Venezuela.

But first, let me tell you about Goldline.

This is going to be an interesting year because all kinds of things are going to hell in a handbasket.

Yesterday with Venezuela, boy, something I've never seen in my lifetime.

All of a sudden,

he's basically like our Speaker of the House,

I think, the third in line.

He swore himself in as president, and the legislative body said, Yes, he's going to be the president, interim president, until we can hold a new election.

Maduro is like, no, I'm the president.

And so the legislative body just went, nope, he's not president anymore.

This guy is.

They swore him in.

Within five minutes, within five minutes, Donald Trump said, we recognize him as the new president.

I'd love to know all the behind the scenes on that.

Then, within five minutes, then three minutes, and three minutes, and five minutes, every country in North and South America all said he's our president, except for one.

Cuba?

That was my guess, Cuba.

I'll give you the answer here in about 10 minutes.

It's phenomenal.

I've never seen anything like it.

And it says a lot about where we're headed.

Anyway, one of the things that we should concern ourselves with is the financial institutions and

the security of our money.

Gold always plays an important role in a reset, and it has since the beginning of time.

I mean, go back to the Bible.

It's all the way back then.

Gold was the standard.

Every time the world goes insane, it resets on the gold standard, and that will happen.

If you believe, like I do, that you know the best is still ahead of us, but so are some really bumpy roads, visit Goldline, get all of the information, and find out if gold or silver is right for you for your stability and your survival as a family.

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

10 seconds, station ID.

There they go.

Andrew Heaton.

So, Andrew and I,

I think we were in the middle of

switching shows or something.

We were both coming off of a show, and

we met in the hallway.

And he asked me the.

Should we hang out?

Yeah, he asked me the straight.

And this is one of the reasons why I liked working with

Andrew:

he'll always approach me with a bizarre question.

And he came to me yesterday and said, what's your favorite movie, Backwards?

And I said, excuse me?

And then he told me.

I've got a bunch of these, but the one I used yesterday, which I didn't come up with, I read that online, but it started my new hobby was if you watch Jaws Backwards, it's a film about a shark that vomits up people.

until they're forced to open a beach.

And it made me,

I read that and I was like, wow, because I don't really like sad movies.

And so I've been watching sad movies backwards and they're generally a lot happier if you watch them backwards.

So he said to me,

he was talking about that and I went, that's really good.

And I bet you a lot of movies would be happier.

Some may not, but Schindler's list certainly is.

Yeah, that one's happier.

Yes, for sure.

We should watch some of these movies backward.

Dunkirk.

Dunkirk is about the British military storming France from a canoe.

a really like, it's kind of like a pre-D-Day film.

Yeah.

And I watched The Shining the other night.

The Shining is this really fun romp about a caveman who has been cryogenically frozen, who thaws out and then reassembles a hotel and goes on a field trip to Maine.

It's actually, it's just they go to a road trip.

It's really nice.

But then conversely, there are other films that I get really angry at.

Like I watched Marley and Me Backwards.

Marley and Me.

Backwards is a film about a dog that wakes up from a nap and then hangs out with Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson until they lose interest and give him away.

It's terrible.

It's a really awful film.

Wow.

Yeah.

It's really sad.

And then other ones become like fantasies.

Like I watched Titanic Backwards.

Titanic Backwards is about an old witch that sucks a magical diamond out of the ocean and it gives her the power to bring shipwrecks up from the briny deep so that a buxom flapper can have sex with Leonardo DiCaprio in an old car.

It's like, it's actually this really weird, like fantastical film.

Right, yeah, right.

It's cool.

It's like you add that in.

Wow, that's good.

Well, Andrew, I'm glad that I pay you.

Yeah, this is where your money's going because I'm waking up and drinking coffee.

What would Romeo?

By the way, Romeo and Juliet backwards is because two teenagers wake up from a nap, stab an Italian, and then they gesticulate wildly before amically departing at a party.

It's actually really, it's just a lot more fun.

But yeah, that's what you're paying for.

It's an anticlimactic ending.

I got to say, the endings are not, they're not very cool.

They're more real life.

You know, movie endings are always so Hollywood.

This is like, yep, that's life.

Yeah.

So you don't readily live, you don't leave the theater necessarily uplifted each time.

You just are, you're just prepared to go back and live your normal life.

Yeah, they can be confusing.

Like I watched Castaway Backwards, which is also terrifying because FedEx punishes a guy who grows a beard by throwing him on a raft, and then he finds a magical beach ball that escorts him to an island, and then he just grows dumber and dumber until he can't fish anymore.

And then he flies to Moscow and yells at boxes.

And I'm like, why is he yelling at boxes in Moscow?

How did that happen?

It's a very strange film.

All right, Andrew, get out of here.

Okay, I'm going to go work now.

Please just get out of here.

Oh, I've got a podcast.

You guys should listen to it.

Something's off with Andrew Heaton.

Yeah, where do we get something like that?

What does that even air and where?

Why, you can get it on the Blaze on iTunes or Google Play or any podcast platform where you get content.

It's Andrew Heaton.

Something's off with Andrew Heaton is the name of it.

If I remember.

Get out.

Didn't I say get out?

He did.

Wow.

He doesn't listen.

By the way, last week, ISIS claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack

in one of the real strategic

cities in northern Syria.

They targeted U.S.

patrol, killed 16 people, claimed the lives of two U.S.

troops, two Americans.

Then on Monday, January 21st, a suicide bomber attacked a convoy of U.S.

and Allied Kurdish forces.

The second attack, claimed,

aimed at a convoy,

involved U.S.

forces.

And we really want to help all of the families and anybody who has been affected with this.

We are fundraising to help the military families, U.S.

military families, in times like this.

We are raising money to support our veterans.

They have to know we've got their back because they have ours.

Go to mercury1.org.

Mercury1.org, raising money for the veterans' families after the attacks in Syria.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.

You know, sometimes you look at things that you really, really like and you think that should go into a Liberty safe.

Like at the end of the Andrew Heaton interview, I thought I I could put him in a Liberty safe, and eventually the air would be gone, and I wouldn't have to worry about him coming on the show anymore.

So,

you might want to think of Liberty Safes that way, or then again, not.

But, whatever it is that you have that is valuable,

you can put it in your Liberty Safe.

Anything that you're worried about somebody else getting, for instance, your prescription drugs or your guns or whatever it is.

They also have invented a new really tight fire seal.

So if your house burns down, God forbid, somebody breaks in, you're covered with a Liberty Safe.

Go now, LibertySafe.com and order your Liberty Safe.

Best Built Safes in America, bar none.

If you're also looking for various ways to watch various forms of entertainment in different directions, you can listen to Somethings Off with Andrew Heaton or ever podcasts are sold.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

I am really glad that you're here.

Jason Butrell is here with us and he is our head researcher and head writer on the program and has been following Venezuela.

There is something bizarre happening

and

it could be good.

could be good.

These things usually don't end well, but we'll see.

This time, maybe it'll be different.

In Venezuela yesterday, they swore in a new president, and he was the head of, what do they call it?

The National Assembly.

The National Assembly.

So it's like our Congress, and

it would be like the Speaker of the House.

And he was sworn in as president, and everybody voted for him in their Congress, their National Assembly.

And they swore him in.

Now, he's a temporary president until elections can be held.

There are massive demonstrations on the street, and this has been coming for a while, all anti-Maduro stuff.

And Maduro said he was not going to give up the presidency.

They swore him in, and then I would love to know the behind the scenes because there's no way we just got a call and said, hey, this is happening.

This seems like, you know,

it was at least

coordinated for the hemisphere.

Because

five minutes after he's sworn in, Donald Trump officially recognizes him as the new president in

Venezuela.

Then, after that, I think it's Canada, and then

Argentina, and all nations in both South and North America within what, an hour?

At least, yeah.

It was so quick.

And this is the full list.

This is how many people, this is the dominoes that fell after we came out and started this: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, France, Spain, Honduras, Peru, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Georgia, and Eastern Europe, Panama, the Organization of American States, the European Union, and the United States.

Okay,

we were the first to do it within five minutes.

Now, here's what's interesting.

There's

one country in

this hemisphere that did not sign up.

One, only one out of that long list.

What was missing?

Mexico.

But it makes sense.

it's a they're a socialist communist you know leader it totally makes sense that that's the way they're going what's weird is though it's another interesting trend because if you look at the other nations that have come out in support of

of Maduro you got Turkey and Erdogan and authoritarian what they would call democracy

you've got China you've got Russia you've got China and now Mexico so there's this kind of this trend you know of like this is kind of like this new battle that's coming to a head those that claim democracy but they're authoritarian democracies like Russia and liberal democracy, you know, all over the world.

You're going to have countries that claim not.

I mean, it's really, it's not capitalism versus communism anymore.

It's authoritarian democracies, socialist countries.

Isn't it interesting that Mexico would not side with everyone else in North and South America?

Cuba is not part of that.

Did Cuba recognize him?

No, they're also with the Russia-China blog.

Okay, so you've got these

obvious anti-American, you know, pro-communist countries and Mexico.

Another reason why we might want to consider, you know, what's coming our way here in the next few years, if that's the way Mexico is going, that they won't recognize the leader of Venezuela that the rest of the Western world does.

That's intense.

These are also countries that have severe, you know how we're looking at civil unrest breaking out all over the world, you know, bringing on from the economic situation coming up, and actually just years of just basically not paying attention to the people in their country.

These are countries that have these problems.

They're scared about social unrest.

Russia, if another authoritarian government goes down due to people and mass protest, Russians are going to be like, huh, what do you know?

Same with people in Cuba, same with people in Turkey, same with people in China.

A lot of people don't know them.

I mean, China is holding on by a thread right now.

They are at a very, very critical point right now to where, you know, their economy is diving.

They've got probably one of the largest

people on welfare or poverty in the world.

Civil unrest is a huge, huge issue with these countries.

And Venezuela, right now, kind of like Syria was before that when Russia intervened,

a little bit of foreshadowing for who might get involved here.

But Venezuela is one of those countries that, okay, they finally got to the brink.

They had enough.

And once the people in those other countries see that, okay, those 100,000 people that are in Caracas, all they have to do is kind of turn around and walk towards the presidential palace, and it's over.

Our suffering is over.

A lot of people are watching this right now.

What's happened to Maduro?

Where is he?

He's finally made a few statements.

I don't think anybody has seen him out in public, which is not surprising.

But he's made a few statements.

The one was the, you know, the PNGing, all the U.S.

diplomats.

And he's made a few other.

PNGing, maybe.

Persona Nongrada.

Okay.

Sending all of of our double.

I think we have like 70 or something like that.

We have less than that, but they have three days to get out, which is crazy because Pompeo said today that, look, he doesn't have the authority to do that because we don't recognize him as the head of the government anymore.

So he's like,

does he have any of the forces on his side?

He's got the military.

He does have the military.

He has the military.

Yeah.

Their Secretary of Defense, basically, whatever their main general has come out and support.

Of course he is because the leaders of their military, they're the ones that profit the most in this system.

They're all cut in.

So they're all millionaires.

You know, Maduro is probably the richest man in the country and his military job.

From bus driver, from bus driver.

From bus driver.

Yeah, it's amazing.

See, socialism does work.

You go from bus driver to the richest man in the country.

Let me take a slight turn from Venezuela to McAfee.

McAfee is this guy who,

I mean, he came up with

the McAfee system to make sure that

antivirus.

He did it back in the day.

right?

And you know, there's all kinds of things about him that are just crazy.

What's true, what's not, I don't know.

He's been on the program before when he was running for president last time,

and he's running for president again, but he hasn't paid his income tax in eight years.

And he says, I'm not going to because he's on cryptocurrency.

And he's like, No, it's not part of the system.

I'm not going to pay any tax on cryptocurrency, period.

And

he said, I'm not afraid of you.

And the government went in and convened a grand jury against him, I think, Alabama or someplace in the south.

And as soon as that grand jury was convened, he got onto a yacht and he's headed towards Venezuela, where he says, I'm going to have refuge in Venezuela, which has now got to be going, holy crap.

And he was going to run his campaign campaign for 2020 from Venezuela.

What?

Has he said anything about this?

I know you followed this yesterday.

Has he mentioned anything like, holy crap, I've just lost my safe haven?

Can I just say this is the most amazingly crazy, outlandish story ever?

I mean, no, he hasn't.

I've been following this.

Go to his Twitter account, John McAfee, at official McAfee or something like that.

And you can see all of this happening minute by minute.

I haven't seen him address what's going on in Venezuela at all.

In fact, the last video he put up just a couple hours ago was some island in the Bahamas sent police or National Guard or Coast Guard out to his yacht.

And he said that the U.S.

State Department sent him out there, but they were inspecting all the weapons he had on his yacht.

And he's got a ton of weapons on this yacht.

And so they're cataloging it, making sure they're all registered.

It's insane.

He's been doing this for maybe a week now.

And he's come out fully and just said, look, the reason I'm doing this, I don't expect the win.

I just want the platform.

I want the stage.

But it actually is kind of smart if you think about it.

He's saying this is all because of cryptocurrency.

If he pulls off some kind of big coup against the U.S.

government,

he's not going to.

He's not going to.

And you know what really bothered me is: look, I don't mind if

you don't want to pay

your taxes, that's totally fine.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

In this way, in this way.

I shouldn't have said it that way.

I have been to the islands, you know, the Caribbean islands, and you've seen them too.

And you see these big yachts owned by Americans, and they're always flagged with Virgin Islands or whatever.

And they do that because they don't want to pay the American tax.

And it always bothers me when I see that, and it's full of Americans, because.

The only reason why you put a flag on the back of

your ship ship is not because you're patriotic.

It's saying this is an American ship and it is protected by America and the U.S.

Navy.

And when I saw him on the ship and he had the American flag flying in the back, now maybe his yacht is registered in America, but if he's not paying his taxes, dude.

Don't expect the American Navy to come bail your butt out.

And everybody with a flag with a ship that is flagged with another country, I have no sympathy for you.

If you don't want to pay your taxes, then that's fine.

Have the British Isles go ahead and protect you if a pirate shows up in the Gulf of Mexico.

That's not our responsibility.

You have that flag because you're protected, because you've paid for it.

Maybe it's just me.

All right.

Thank you so much.

And we will be live at 5 tonight, 8 at 8-727-BEC.

We'll talk about anything you want to talk about.

Can we do this Tom Brokaw thing from the other day?

This is Tom Brokaw talking about what's going on with the new leftist

Democratic House members running through the halls of Congress.

Bizarre.

bizarre story.

Listen to this.

It's a very troubling time.

I think the Democrats are as much to blame right now as the Republicans are.

They've got control of the House, but they're mostly just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not going to do what you want to do.

I haven't seen a grand plan.

And you've got the young people running through the halls who are the new members of Congress who are conducting pep rallies every day instead of getting together with the more moderate people or the people from

the people from the Midwest who have won in Ohio and Wisconsin and Minnesota, where they need to win again if they're going to get control.

But they're being driven hard by the left.

And it's true, of course, they're moving further and further left.

The running through the halls thing is funny.

Did you see the Ecasio-Cortez clip where she was trying to run through the halls and find Mitch McConnell's office to make this big statement and she didn't even know where it was?

And she was going to the wrong place like

just someone who has absolutely no knowledge.

The crazies are in charge of the asylum.

Yeah.

I mean, you thought it couldn't get more crazy.

It really is.

It's nuts.

How long do you think, honestly,

it takes until this is just so old to the Democrats, they just abandon her on TV.

The Ecasio-Cortez group.

Her shtick is already grading.

They have to be seeing it.

They have actual, like, I mean, they have candidates that could scare Republicans with actual plans.

And instead, it's Ocasio-Cortez on the TV every day, making yet another dumb mistake, blurting out something ridiculous that she gets mocked for for days.

How are they going to untangle themselves?

I don't know.

It's such a gift.

Usually,

if there's a gift to Republicans, Democrats don't want to stop that gift from being given.

And every day, they've got Ocasio-Cortez as a giant present with a bow on top of it to hand to Donald Trump and every Republican every single day.

And at some point, that gets old to Democrats.

You have to believe her making a moron of herself every single day in front of the nation has to get old at some point.

But we're just behind France.

I mean, France has already done this.

This is what that book, The Coming Insurrection, was about.

What happened in France was they kept listening to people like Pelosi, you know, the politicians who said, no, no, no, I'm with you.

I'm socialist.

No, no, no.

Listen, but we have to play it this way.

And the people in France that were socialist had had enough.

Then when they started rising up and started doing what they're doing now,

what happens?

The Pelosis of the world, the Macron of the world, has to give in because they've lost too much power.

They've given them all of the power.

Look, who controls the Democratic Party?

Do you think sane people control the Republican

Democratic Party?

Do you think the people who really believe in the Constitution and capitalism and our system

are in charge?

I don't think so.

No.

I think you've got the Keith Ellisons.

You know, they're all, those are the people that are in charge.

Easy to understand by the 2020 candidates that are announcing.

They are saying now the litmus test for a legitimate 2020 candidate for the Democratic Party this year is Medicare for all.

I mean, Medicare for all was something that in 2013, Bernie Sanders proposed and got zero co-sponsors.

Not 1990, 2013, this occurred.

We told you that they were designing Obamacare and they were designing it to fail.

So after it would fail, they could say, Medicare for all.

We need socialized medicine.

And we were called racists for saying that.

Here it is.

And there's the remember the guy from the Tides Foundation.

They keep saying it's a Trojan horse for single payer.

Well, it's not a Trojan horse.

It's just there.

I'm telling you, it's a Trojan horse for

single payer.

And here it is.

Here it is.

Just a few years later, they're now proposing it as basically a litmus test to even be taken seriously in the primary.

And to be taken seriously on television or mainstream media.

You can't even think about wearing a hat that says make America great again.

You're listening to Glenn Beck.
