'A Storm Is Coming?' - 5/7/18

The Blaze Radio Network.

On demand.

Glad back.

As the baby inside of her grows more and more every day, Sawatu Salama Ra frets about where she's going to be when her water breaks.

She's seven months pregnant.

She's 26 years old.

And she's serving a two-year prison sentence for felonious assault and felony firearm conviction at Hurron Valley Correctional Facility.

Now,

this is the only correctional facility in Michigan that houses women, and it's full of all kinds of problems and overcrowding, etc., etc.

Of course, the courts have largely ignored the time-sensitivity, you know, gravity of Raw's situation.

A judge has already denied a request to

postpone her sentence until she gives birth.

Her lawyers contend that she has faced mistreatment during doctor's visits.

Guards shackle her to the bedpost, a practice that is illegal in Michigan.

But the case itself is so full of blind spots and complexities that it's difficult to tell who's who.

The specifics still remain hazy.

The facts are spare.

Here's what we know.

Raw brandished a gun at a neighbor, and this is a neighbor that they had an ongoing feud.

Now, she brandished the gun after the neighbor took her car and rammed her car into Raw's car with her young child in the car.

She got out and said, what are you doing?

She rammed it in Raw's driveway.

She said, my daughter is in there.

She feared for her life and the life of her daughter.

So she reaches into her purse.

She has a concealed handgun carry license.

The gun was not loaded, but it was legally purchased.

Now, Michigan is a stand-your-ground state, which means if somebody is on your property and they are threatening you, you have a right to pull the gun and stand your ground.

You don't have to run.

If you have a gun, you can defend yourself.

The problem is, is that afterwards,

her neighbor filed a report.

raw was second online so in other words if you do something i guess in michigan and you're the first to call the police and say hey this is going on it doesn't matter what really happened the law looks at you as the victim

whoever called first does that sound crazy

Now, much of the mainstream media has attacked mainstream pro-gun groups,

including the National Rifle Association, for being, in their words, dispiritingly quiet about the incident.

Though the stand-your-ground law in place in Michigan passed in 2006, and it was made possible by a group working in close contact with the NRA.

So it's kind of like blaming

the fire department for putting out a fire.

Is that right?

Part of what's made this case so difficult to dissect is that Raw herself by no means fits in any hard and fast category.

Who is she?

Who's her group protecting her?

Because she's black,

she's Muslim,

she's an environmental activist, she's a mother keeping her baby,

she's a gun owner,

even though the gun wasn't even loaded.

It's Monday, May 7th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

What do you make of this story, Stu?

Something's not right.

It's incredible.

I mean, you know, of course, the media is just trying to make it about what pro-gun groups are saying about it, which is, you know, 50th on the interesting list of topics on this.

I want to know, wait a minute, wait a minute.

What really happened between these two?

And does stand your ground mean anything?

What's up with the whole first one on the phone is the victim?

That doesn't make sense.

No, and if

her kid was playing inside the car, two years old, two, and the neighbor intentionally rammed their car into her car.

I absolutely would have reacted a very similar way.

If I had a handgun, I would pull it as well.

I would say back off.

Yeah, I mean, you're putting your kid's life in danger.

That's exactly why stand your ground.

It's why our natural right to defend ourselves exists.

Especially, it's not her, it's her child.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Two-year-old child.

Think of like every nature film you've ever seen, right?

Where that, you know, some predator.

Here comes mom, don't mess with the mom.

Don't mess with mom, stay away.

That's right.

That's what, that's what that is.

And so she exercises her constitutionally guaranteed rights.

And she doesn't even use the gun.

It's not loaded.

Yet another example of a use of a weapon that is not typically reported.

These things happen all the time in the United States

where the gun isn't fired, but it prevents an escalation of an incident.

And here she gets punished for it.

So, I mean, I don't know that the black

Muslim woman.

Yeah.

And this is interesting because A, the media comes out and says, oh, the NRA isn't talking about it.

Number one, I bet you the NRA will be talking about it.

Because I, you know, they, they do, that's, this is what they really do, the NRA.

And I think when maybe they're not aware of this particular case, or it's, it's only coming into the, I think, national media recently.

Um, so, you know, and Detroit's done a lot of good local reporting about it, but it has not really spread nationally.

And I bet when the, I bet the NRA will pick this up.

But it's interesting to see that the media is out there going after the NRA and saying, oh, why aren't they talking about it?

Well, why aren't you talking about all the others when it's not a black Muslim environmental activist where the same thing happens?

You never talk about any of those actions.

But they're not talking about this, they're not really talking about this.

No, they're only talking about it to get the NRA.

They're not helping her.

No, it's crazy.

Yeah, it's just a way to make the other groups they don't like look bad.

I mean, don't you long for

somebody who's just like, hey, let's just do the right thing.

What do you say, we just do the right thing?

And they're not trying to win on some other point.

Just let's do the right thing.

Listen to this.

Thursday, Eric Swalwell of California, of course, he's a Democratic congressman.

He penned an op-ed for USA Today, ban assault weapons, buy them back, go after the registers,

says the ex-prosecutor in Congress.

In the piece, he argues that federal assault weapons, that the federal assault weapon ban should be reinstated.

Now, let's just stop there.

Why, Eric?

Why?

Well, we've got to do something.

Well, okay, let's do something that works.

Because every study,

every single study that has come out on the federal, and this is, this is not the NRA, this is the United States government.

The studies that they did after

we had implemented the assault weapon ban, it showed that it actually did nothing.

Yeah,

this is from one of the studies.

This is in 2004 after the assault weapon ban expired.

We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence.

Indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence based on indicators like the percentage of gun crimes resulting in death or the share of gunfire incidents resulting in injury.

And we might have expected that the ban reduced crimes with both assault weapons.

And this is, this is like a lot.

This is a, I mean, you can go into it.

We've done, gone through the study multiple times, but the point is, they found nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Okay.

So he says that it should be reinstated, which means nothing.

Nothing.

He then says that the United States should institute a mandatory buyback of semi-automatic rifles.

He goes further stating that if Americans are unwilling to hand over their semi-automatic rifles to the government, they should be sought out and prosecuted.

Now, this is the craziest thing ever.

You're not going to take people's guns in America.

You're just not going to do it.

You want a civil war, Eric?

That's the way to do it.

You're not going to take people's guns.

By the way, they're semi-automatic rifles.

Well, why don't you just take all semi-automatic weapons?

Take them all.

Why stop at rifles?

Why not just take them all?

That's probably what he wants.

It's exactly what he wants.

And I'll show you in a minute.

He said that

we should ban the possession of modern sporting rifles, otherwise known as AR-15s.

Those were modern sporting rifles.

Those were sporting rifles before the government reached out and said, hey, can we use your patent to make these for

war rifles?

Sure.

They are modern sporting rifles, and that's what we need to start calling automatic assault rifles, or semi-automatic assault rifles.

No, they're modern sporting rifles.

Anyway,

he said the ban would

would take place on any semi-automatic weapon.

We should buy back the weapons from all those who choose to abide by the law and criminally prosecute those who defy it by keeping their weapons.

The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs.

Hmm.

Shooting clubs.

He says that Australia's buyback was a success.

No, it wasn't.

No, it wasn't absolutely not a success.

We've gone over that a hundred times, too.

If you look in England, it wasn't a success.

They're now banning knives.

It's a human problem, not a weapon problem.

Now, he said it's going to cost a great deal of money to do the same thing in the United States, but it would be worth it.

You know,

I would really like to know.

I would really like to know how much it would cost to buy back all the weapons.

How much?

It would be pricey.

It would be pricey.

I think the Australian

gun buyback program bought back between 20 and 35% of the guns in the country.

So that we have 330 million guns.

So, you know, you're talking 60 to 100 million weapons.

You're just kind of purchasing from people.

Now, if you're giving fair value for it, you're going to be talking about a very expensive program.

By the way, there's no way you get the United States to turn in 35% of their weapons

without God only knows what.

It's not going to be pretty.

No, it's not going to be pretty.

By the way,

if you just take all of the

modern sporting rifles off of the market,

you kind of leave a few things like, you know, in August of 2012, man using a Springfield Armory handgun killed six people in Wisconsin.

April,

man using a.45 caliber handgun killed seven people in Oakland, California.

In 2009, man using a Herstahl 5.7 pistol killed 13 people.

April, by the way, that was Fort Hood.

2009, man using a Beretta 92FS 9mm

killed 13 people.

2007, a Walther P-22 pistol and a 9mm Glock killed 32 people at Virginia Tech.

Let's see.

1991, man using a Glock 17 and a Ruger P-89 killed 23 people, injured another 27.

That was at the Luby's cafeteria.

He didn't have a rifle.

86, 45, two 45-caliber pistols and a.22-caliber pistol killed 14 people, injured six more at a post office in Oklahoma.

Gee, it

seems like it's not

just

rifles.

And now that they've taken the handguns and the rifles from people

in England, it seems like it's not just guns.

By the way, when we come back, just want to read the transcript of another Democrat that responded to this

on CNN.

Wait until you hear the response.

Okay.

Glenn Beck Mercury.

Mercury.

Hey, everybody.

Glenn Beck.

Everybody, you got to pay attention.

Stormy Daniels was on Saturday Night Live.

Uh-oh.

We got to play some of the crazy outtakes from that coming up in a minute.

Good morning, quack, quack.

It was awful, wasn't it?

Oh,

that was unbelievable.

What are you talking about?

What an amazing moment with Stormy Daniels going on Saturday Night Live?

Hang on.

Hang on.

We got to get to traffic and weather before we get to our work.

Let me just.

It's so depressing.

It really is, isn't it?

Because

that's really what we're turning into again.

We're turning into a country

that is that all news is the Morning Zoo.

Yeah.

All news.

All news.

Morning Zoo.

Well, that's fake news.

Traffic and weather coming out the order.

Stormy down.

Did you see what she said?

The storm is coming?

Okay, so

let me just finish up on the,

so we told you about the Democratic congressman that wants to make all assault weapons illegal.

Just all assault weapons, because most weapons are massage vehicles.

Yes, they are.

And he wants to prosecute those who won't hand theirs over.

That's going to be mighty popular.

So then we have an interview on Friday on CNN, and it's Ted Deutsch.

He's from Florida.

He's a Democrat.

And he was asked, well, you know,

what do you think of that?

He says, well,

listen, you know, there are gun buyback programs that exist in some communities.

And if people turn in their guns, I mean, certainly law enforcement is working with them to do that.

I just think we ought to do.

And you know, the NRA always refuses the interruption.

But wait, wait, wait.

He's going a step further when he says that people should be held criminally responsible if they don't turn over their weapons.

All right.

Stu, how do you answer that?

Well, it's not a question.

I know.

But you immediately come out and say, well, yeah, I know.

I'm not for that.

Right.

Okay.

Well, I think it's important.

Did you see Stormy Daniels over the weekend?

I think what's important is to stop the production of these weapons of war that don't belong on our streets.

Oh, that's going to happen.

Just remember this.

Now, this is where

you're going to love this.

Just remember this.

It was just about 90 years ago on Valentine's Day that a massacre in Chicago.

What?

The Valentine's Day massacre?

You're going to the Valentine's Day massacre?

And people said, we can't have all these machine guns on the streets.

And no one questioned that decision.

Many people have questioned that decision, by the way.

This is breaking news to some, but many people.

There's been Supreme Court challenges.

It has been questioned many times.

No one's complained about that law.

That's not true.

Not true.

So let's treat these assault weapons the same way we treat machine guns.

That ought to be something that everybody can get behind.

No more manufacturing of these guns.

Let's get them out of our communities.

Okay, so

she's the interviewer says, Let me change topics to the point.

Stormy Daniels on Saturday Night Live

does not follow up going, you didn't answer the question.

You didn't answer the question.

That was a really nice Valentine's gift that you gave us here in May, but

you didn't answer the question.

And the reason why is because that is where they want to go.

Yes, they want to take as much as they can get right now with the long-term goal of taking all of them.

That is the entire theory here.

It's called,

you make little bits of progress towards a long-term goal without going for it all at once.

What would you call that?

Progress.

Progressivism.

Progressivism.

Something like that.

Something like that.

Something like that.

Yeah, it sounds nice, especially for something so incredibly evil.

But the Stormy Daniels coming up.

The storm is coming next.

Glenn Beck.

Mercury.

Glenn Beck and his wife Tanya had problems selling their home a few years ago, and they started Real RealEstateAgentsidrust.com because they personally were frustrated in the process.

A lot of people have bad experiences because you hire a family member or a friend that is forced on you as your real estate agent, and that's just not the right way to go.

You're just too nice to say no.

This usually ends very badly for all involved.

A home is just too big of a deal.

It's your biggest investment, and you need to have rock-solid advice because if you screw up buying or selling a home, you can have horrible financial impacts that can last for many years.

Realestateagentsidrust.com is a network network of over 1,200 agents all over America that are rigorously qualified by Glenn's team.

Their experience, their marketing plans, their character, and the results they get for their clients are the barometers that the team uses to ensure the network is made up of only the best agents in America.

It's realestate agentsitrust.com.

This is the Glendett programming.

Hey, good morning.

You're part of the Morning Flake Breakfast Club.

And we're just sitting here talking about that crazy Stormy Daniels appearance on Saturday, Saturday Night Live.

How did they do it?

How did they get a porn star to go on national television?

No porn stars would ever accept a role like that.

I don't know how, but did you see how

fine of an actress she was?

She certainly was.

I tell you, you know, that was just a hilarious point.

The part that she said, the thing that you were supposed to laugh at, but wasn't funny, was incredible.

It was nutty.

It was nutty when she said, there's a storm coming.

Here's what a lot of people aren't getting about that, Glenn.

When you go in there and you look at what she said, it's part of her name.

Storm.

I don't know.

Storm.

It's stormy.

Do you see it now?

Oh,

my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

Those Those are the kind of double entendre kind of rhiners that Saturday Night Live has.

Sometimes they're just way over the people's heads.

Yeah, when you really put it side by side, you start to notice it.

Yeah, you know, Storm and Storming.

Yeah, they're very similar.

Good boy.

Yeah, incredible performance.

And wow, you know what?

That one sure got under the president's skin.

I tell you that.

They really got him that time.

I tell you, now to see it covered, though, on television as some stroke of art and genius,

it just shows that the media they really are above us, they know things that we don't know, right?

Because I would say, what a hacky bit, you know what I mean?

I would think to myself, what a piece of crap.

I would think to myself, if I were a writer, I'd probably throw myself out of a window if that's what I, if that was where I, what level I had achieved.

That would have been my initial impression, but after seeing it, I mean, wow, that turned me me around?

Storm Stormy.

Now, Stormy's her name.

It's not actually her name.

Her name is Stephanie.

But for some reason, the media continually calls her Stormy.

I don't know why.

It's a very strict choice for journalism, but they keep doing it.

You know what's crazy?

Is the way that they made people like Juanita Broderick feel like porn stars?

Oh, yes.

Sure did.

And yet, they're making Stormy Daniels

feel

like an actual human being.

Oh,

we're talking about

one of the most incredible people in the world, almost a truth fighter.

Now, this is a person, of course, who took $130,000 before the election to not tell us this information.

She was actually awarded a six-figure deal

to shut up and not give the American people the information they may have wanted to cast the vote, but now she's a hero.

Hold on just a second.

We We need the obligatory duck quack.

We need the obligatory duck quack.

Where the hell's the duck quack?

Oh, we've killed the deploy.

The duck is dead.

The duck is dead.

There's a storm coming.

There we go.

The first to know it are the ducks.

All right.

I will say this as an artist, as an artist myself, and you can tell that I am.

Yeah.

I would just a little advice to Lord Michaels.

What if you put the duck quack after she said storm?

Because then people would know that was the joke.

That's why we use it.

Let's try it out.

Let's try that.

I'm going to try it without the duck quack first.

All right.

Mr.

President, there's a storm coming.

See, that just sounds like she's talking about the weather.

She's predicting the weather.

All right, I'll try it this way.

Mr.

President,

there's a storm coming.

Oh!

It works.

It works that way.

Oh, my goodness.

That is some good comedy eating there.

Sports coming up.

Holy cow.

Seriously.

Seriously.

There is no, there's no, I mean, are they even trying?

It's unreal.

You know,

and this is the big story today.

We're hearing people talking about Stormy Daniels.

Again, if you are a porn star and you're someone like Stormy Daniels who's attempted to cross over into mainstream media, there is no

get here.

Getting a porn star to go on NBC is not something that's amazing or difficult.

It's done hard.

All of them want to go on NBC.

They're having sex on camera with the eventual goal to be on like Bravo 9.

Gunbalding.

All right,

let me take you someplace that

I think is very interesting.

More than 200 George Washington University students have signed a petition.

Have you heard this?

Have you heard this one yet?

I haven't heard this.

Have you read this one in the paper?

I haven't heard this.

They've signed a petition to eliminate the school's mascot and nickname because they find the colonials extremely offensive.

No, no,

this is not a joke, Eric.

This is actually real.

Okay.

So they say that colonials' connection to colonization is systematic oppression.

So what they want...

Okay, now, hang on.

I don't know if you've seen the colonials, okay, but this is a giant like

Muppet George Washington.

I don't know what that's like, a big felt George Washington mascot guy.

Yes, very, it's it's not a duration, it doesn't show a lot of direct oppression in the mascot.

No, well, he does look spears, he does look white, too.

So,

he's more yellow, he is okay, he's more yellow, all right.

Uh, okay, so anyway, so what they have, what they've done is they're not just coming with a problem.

They're not just saying, hey, let's get rid of the colonials.

Okay.

They know, don't come into somebody's office with just a problem.

Come in with the solution.

So instead, they would like to make it the George Washington University hippos.

No, no, it's not a joke.

That's not a joke.

They want it to be the hippos.

Now,

I don't know where George Washington, you know, where the hippos interacted.

I think that's animal appropriation because we don't have any hippos here in the United States.

It's true, largely.

There's a couple of houses.

Well, except for the zoos, but those are.

I mean, those are atrocities.

Right.

They're prisons.

Those are animal prisons.

Animal prisons.

So you wouldn't want to put hippos.

I mean, why hippos?

I don't know.

No?

No.

Do you need an answer?

Probably because it makes no sense.

Probably because it has absolutely...

We are living in a time where the more things don't make sense,

the more right they are.

That is.

It's like what we're doing.

Like, for example, the alternative nickname recommendations, hippos, river horses.

Now, river horses,

I mean, you kind of at least see a tie there.

Okay, how about the revolutionaries?

But the revolutionaries is a great one because the only reason that's acceptable is because they like left-wing revolutions.

Yes.

Now, you can, I think you can make an argument that revolutionaries, right, could be controversial in that there have been a lot of revolutions that have ended in very bad things, and a lot of bad things have happened in revolutions.

What are you talking about?

Not the American Revolution, but other revolutions.

There have been lots of bad ones, right?

But they're okay with that.

And they're also okay with river horses, which, okay, I don't know if you know this there there is no like okay starfish i mean uh

seahorses those are fish those are not those aren't actual crosses between you know a starfish or a fish and a horse that's a totally different animal oh really yeah so river horses they're not like living in the river they're only being driven across the river by guys on top of them usually with like a whip or something going keep going keep going.

Yeah.

They're not, river horses are not,

they're not natural.

You know, they'll cross if they have to,

but generally speaking, I don't think so unless they absolutely have to.

Like, I don't see like, you know, groups of horses taking a family vacation across the Mississippi.

No, it's not.

No.

No, it's, no, it's.

By the way, I used to live about 10 minutes away from

where Washington Washington crossed the Delaware.

Yeah.

It was right on that river.

There's multiple bridges.

The guy just obviously went across the top.

No, I don't think there was a lot of money.

He just went right across the bridge.

Everyone's like, oh, look at this.

Oh, what a tough way to cross the bridge.

I did it 100 times in a car.

It was not difficult.

I don't think those were there at that time, but

the quack would be good there.

So did he, did he?

I don't know.

I have to look in the old pictures.

Were there any hippos?

Was he actually

on the back of a hippo When he crossed.

The hippos.

And by the way, this cultural appropriation bullcrap, I can't take it anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

And you don't want to play that?

Okay.

No one from any country can ever be seen wearing a pair of Levi's or jeans because those were American.

That's an American heritage.

We were the people that came up with the dungarees.

We're the people that came up with jeans.

Those are distinctly American.

So

don't take and appropriate my culture.

Don't you do it.

I don't want to see anyone ever unless you're from here.

I don't want you wearing a pair of jeans.

I will be so offended and my family will be so deeply hurt.

That's true.

I mean, obviously, the food one is really obvious too.

I mean, can an an American walk into a Mexican restaurant?

Can a Mexican walk into an American restaurant?

I mean, these are, of course, they can.

Can a non-Scottish person walk into a McDonald's?

Right.

That was good.

That was good.

That was a good one.

That exactly works, Sarah.

Thank you for that.

On the news and Why It Matters, Doc Thompson's been bringing up my favorite point on this so far, which is, you know, like there are a lot of things we deal with, these kind of crazy leftist claims, you know, things like, you know, like, for example, racism is something that is real, a real problem, right?

Well, not the way it is being shown anymore.

Right.

And that, and that's our complaint about it, right?

It is a real thing.

Racism is very, very real.

However, it's applied ridiculously at times.

And that's what we complain about.

Correct.

Cultural appropriation is not even real.

It's not even a thing.

What do you mean?

There's no such thing as cultural appropriation.

Was it the

ECLU that was tweeting this weekend?

I can't remember who it was.

It was one of these groups, one of the left-wing groups that we talk about often, tweeting about how Cinco de Mayo is wrong.

And I guess we shouldn't.

All these companies, by the way, a lot of Mexican-owned companies, because they're using their culture, right?

They're bringing the best of their culture here.

And we're saying, hey, Cinco de Mayo sounds really fun.

Let's have a bunch of drinks and eat a bunch of chips and queso.

It's going to be a great day.

That is now cultural appropriation.

Did you read my paper on this?

Because I wrote an op-ed on this.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You didn't read it?

I didn't read it.

Let me just said,

shut up.

No.

That's all it said.

I didn't have time, to be fair.

I didn't have time to get through the whole thing.

I did see the headline, which was what?

Shut up.

Okay.

Because that's great.

Yeah.

That is actually the response to that.

Because, you know, it's tough because, again, like things like racism, sexism is an absolutely real thing applied at times ridiculously.

This is not even a real thing.

So every time it's applied, it's always ridiculous.

It's always ridiculous.

You can certainly do things that are offensive to other cultures, but just doing something that you enjoy,

complimenting, you know, when I walk into a Chinese restaurant, I'm not appropriating Chinese culture.

I'm celebrating it.

I obviously like their culture enough to spend my money

with their businesses.

The girl that was, you know, this teenager that went to her prom and she was wearing

an Asian style dress.

Yeah.

Okay.

In China,

it is cultural appropriation is seen as a sign of

honor.

Taking that and wearing that is an honorable thing to them.

Okay.

You honor their culture by that.

Okay, great.

So

wait, so then I shouldn't because I'm offending.

No, I'd be offending by not wearing it.

I don't even know anymore.

Right, but if you adopted that view, you would then be appropriating their cultural view of not being offended by a cultural appropriation.

Correct.

So I don't even know where to go on this.

But can't you just like something?

By the way, you want to look for cultural appropriation.

Just do a scan of Native Americans from the 1800s to the 1900s.

You will see them

appropriating our culture.

They would take our textiles.

They would take our shirts, our pants, our jackets.

Now, yes, some were forced to,

some were not.

It was a very big deal to, as a chief, to have something from the Western culture.

Yeah.

You know, it's a good point.

And think about how it feels when it happens to you.

Like, think about

an immigrant from Nigeria who comes over here and opens a small business.

And you walk into that small business and you see him celebrating American culture.

Doesn't that make you feel great?

I love that.

When I see someone from a different culture who comes here and embraces ours and appropriates our culture, that's a celebration.

Yeah, is this coming from a guy who doesn't understand why hippos should be the mascot at George Washington University?

I mean, true.

I don't understand that.

All right, you selling your house?

You need a great real estate agent.

You need somebody who's going to sell your house for the most amount of money and on time, as fast as you possibly can, but still get the amount of money your house is worth.

There's a thousand agents all over America who are just like you.

Their word is their bond.

They're fans of the show.

They share your sensibilities.

They're fully vetted and hand-picked for their knowledge, their skill, and their track record.

And thousands of families all across the country have already put realestate agentsitrust.com to the test.

If you want results, if you want your house sold on time and for the most amount of money, somebody will contact you immediately.

All you have to do is go to realestateagentsitrust.com, tell them where you are, tell them who you are.

Somebody's going to reach out right away, and you talk to that agent because that agent knows your area, knows how to sell your home on time and for the most amount of money.

So do it now.

Realestateagents I trust.com.

That's realestate agentsitrust.com.

Glenn Beck Mercury.

We are much done.

Glenn Beck.

This is important.

We have to clarify here.

Hippos.

Hippos in ancient Greece translates to river horses.

Which, of course, we knew.

Obviously, we should point that out.

I am not appropriating the Greek culture or language.

Exactly.

That was our approach.

So, the people that pointed that out online, sure, a lot of people would say, Yeah, they were right and we didn't know what we were talking about, but they are the ones now that are appropriating the Greek culture.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hippos, hippos.

No one, not even those in Greece,

think of those as river horses.

Glenn back.

Mercury.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn, back.

How do you know when there is a hate group lurking in America that is targeting somebody?

Well, you go to the Southern Poverty Law Center, of course.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is the all-seeing eye that scans the land for hate and finds it in people like, well, David Barton.

When they find hate or their definition of it, they add that group or that person to their hate list so we can all avoid those groups and we can all feel much safer.

David Barton is actually on the hate group list from the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Now, the latest target from the SPLC is Alliance Defending Freedom.

Now, this is a Christian nonprofit group that defends religious freedom in court.

The ADF has played a role now in 52 victories at the Supreme Court over the years, so the left needs to take them out.

Cue the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Alliance Defending Freedom was recently banned from the Amazon SMILE program.

Now, that SMILE program is the one where customers can elect to give a small cut of their Amazon purchase to a nonprofit organization of their choice.

But Amazon doesn't want to be involved with hate groups.

So they kicked the ADF out of the program because the Southern Poverty Law Center determined which groups qualify.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

Who's defining hate here?

Now, the reason that they qualify as a hate group is because the ADF is currently before the Supreme Court representing the cake shop owner who refused to make a gay wedding cake.

Well, I mean, the cake wasn't gay.

You understand the story.

So now how did the Southern Poverty Law Center get to be the chief hate enforcer?

Well,

wouldn't you like to know?

They're actually self-anointed.

They claim their moral capital from the fact that they were founded in 1971 by a white guy in Alabama to fight racial injustice.

Now, never mind that the KKK was virtually non-existent at that point.

Racism and hatred still was.

But it turns out sounding the alarm about the threat of Klansmen is a very lucrative business.

So that became

the SPLC's formula.

They shine a spotlight on hate groups, and they see the cash flood in for their legal takedown of those groups.

They've been doing it ever since.

They spend more money on fundraising than actual legal work.

Because you don't build a half a billion dollar endowment by limiting your hate group list to quacks like the KKK and the quacks of the Nazis.

It's any business.

You have to expand.

So

why Amazon is taking advice from the SPLC is

essentially

the Southern Poverty Law Center is essentially a PAC for the Democratic Party.

Why they're taking it from them, the advice?

You'll have to do the math.

But it's a safe bet that Amazon's leadership finds a lot more in common with the SPLC than the Alliance Defending Freedom.

That's why Planned Parenthood is still part of the,

strangely, Amazon Smiles program.

Because nothing makes people smile more than abortion.

When common sense leaves the building,

it leaves nothing in its trail except absurdity.

It's Monday, May 7th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

And we are living in an absolutely absurd world where,

I mean, are we paying attention?

Hey, did you see there's a storm cup at Stormy Daniels on Saturday Night Live?

What, whack.

Instead of talking about the things that really matter and the things that we can do something about,

we

told you a few weeks ago about the Lautenberg Christians in Austria.

Now, the Lautenberg Christians, these are Christians that came out of Iran and

they risked their lives in Iran.

They were Christians that stood up.

They knew the government didn't want them there.

There was an opportunity to get out because the United States said,

if you hit these standards, you can come out.

So they did what all Christians do when they come out of Iran.

They go to another country.

This time it was Austria, where they

are doing all the final vetting, etc., etc., and then they go to the United States.

But once you leave Iran, you're not going back to Iran, especially because you've just announced that you are

an enemy of the state to Iran.

Well, the last group has been stopped in Austria, and

we think they may be sent back to Iran, which would be a death sentence.

And nobody is talking about these people.

The Nazarene Fund meets the Lautenberg Christians in Austria.

Michael Powell, director of the Strategic Communications, the White Mountain Research.

And Zeno Gamble, he is the chief operating officer of White Mountain, partners with the Nazarene Fund and Mercury One.

Welcome, Michael.

Welcome, Zeno.

Thank you.

Hi, Glenn.

Thanks for having us.

So, Zeno, explain what the current state of these Christians are.

Well, they're disorganized.

They're living in different apartments all over Vienna.

They've used up all the funds because they sold all their assets before they left Iran in the hopes that they could stop in Austria, get their visas, and join their family members that are in the United States.

Okay, has this ever happened before to people on the Lottenberg list?

So the program's been going on for almost 30 years.

It was a program started by the U.S.

government to bring over Iranians post-Shah.

And it's been a very smooth process.

This was the first time they've been held up en masse.

And do we know why?

We don't know why.

There's a lot of finger pointing.

We do have their letters from the Department of Homeland Security saying you can't come in, but no explanation was given to the individuals or as a group.

And so we have, but we do have also their letter saying you can come in.

Yes.

Right.

We have the invitation basically from the United States saying,

here's what you do.

You come out, you go to Austria, we'll get to final papers, and then you're on your way.

Yeah, this was not a program that something was done quickly.

I mean, they've been in this program for a while.

They were supposed to be in Austria for three months on a transit visa, and that was it.

They sold all their property in Iran.

They've left everything behind.

They were ready to come to the United States.

They have family here.

Tell me who these people are.

So you have about 108 people total.

About 80 of them are Christians.

The rest are Mandeans and Zoroastrians.

So we call them Lautenberg Christians, but it is a group.

All persecuted peoples.

Okay.

And tell me about who they are as individuals,

not just their faith.

Well, that's one of the things we wanted to learn when we went to Austria to find out.

who they are to capture some of their stories.

And they are stories of normal people who have lived under a persecution their entire lives.

They can't get certain jobs.

They have limits on their education.

Some of them have been physically abused.

And we wanted to know a little bit about them and who they were.

We have one young man whose family has traveled here.

He's in a wheelchair, and he is

physically disabled and not a security risk.

Yeah, we're actually curious as to what risks these people have.

How can they threaten the United States?

They're educated.

They're intelligent.

They've sold all their assets to come and become a part of the community.

Some of their biggest desires are to be able to read the Bible in public and go to church and get education and get a job.

It's really ridiculous how the U.S.

government has pulled the rug out from under these people.

So where is this coming from?

Because, you know,

you could say what you want about Donald Trump and foreigners, but I don't think that he's going to ⁇ there's too many people with too much power around him that would go, no, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

These are people being persecuted by the people that we deem dangerous.

So where is the breakdown?

Well, I think there's some sort of fight going on inside the executive branch against helping refugees.

And I don't see exactly where it is.

Our contacts are

telling us that there's some sort of shroud of mystery going on over who can do what and who can make policy change.

So, you know, this has been around, as Michael said, for a long time.

This was to save persecuted Jews in the past, right?

Can you tell me the history of this?

Sure, I can.

In post-1950, during when, after the State of Israel was created, the U.S.

created a program to bring in

Jews who are being kicked out of the majority Muslim countries.

This program morphed into this program to help Iranians after the Shah.

And it's sort of been going on smoothly since then.

They brought in 30,000 people, I believe, since 1979.

And so this is 100 people.

Do they all have family here, or most of them?

100% have family, 100% have sponsors.

So it's not a drain on our society?

No, and these people...

They did this program, you come in on your own nickel.

So they've been paying for everything.

They sold all their possessions.

No one bought them tickets.

No one's paying for them right now.

They are completely on their own.

So

what happens to them if the United States

continues to say no?

Well, we're looking for options.

That's one of the reasons we went to, to sort of go into our contacts and find out what could be done.

Will the Austrians keep them there?

Can we try to influence the U.S.

government to bring them here?

Or is there a lifeboat country somewhere that we could take them to if something happened?

Because going back to Iran is really not an option.

Right.

What happens to them if they do?

Well, we know what has happened to them already, and there are some really terrible stories

that were relayed to us, and

they're arrested, persecuted.

I mean, there's no doubt.

Okay.

There is no option to go to Iran.

Because they have announced that they are

against the official religion of the state.

And by coming to the United States, I'm sure you're going to be viewed as a spy.

I would think you'd advance contacts with the the U.S.

government.

They would see that as a threat.

Yeah.

All right.

So how can we help?

So I think reaching out to our elected officials and telling them that this is a problem and people getting angry about it because this is a forgotten group.

It was the news for a bit, and now it's kind of faded away.

And supporting the Nazarene Fund because the Nazarene Fund, like they always do,

when governments can't or won't, the Nazarene Fund will try to help.

Do we have any options in Australia or contacts in Australia or any place else we we we're looking into that but i think right now the austrians are trying to help locally and i think we're going to try to focus it there for a while but they don't have relatives there i mean their relatives are really here they don't but the the the the the the church is supporting them there's a couple of politicians that have are weighing in on this and this is not something that they want to do no one no one wants to do this yes but they're trying to they're trying to help and trying to come up with a life for them but it's the rug has been pulled out so i would suggest that you call mike pence uh and his office because I think

Mike is involved in this, is he not?

To some degree?

Yes, he's said he's going to try to fix it so we can rescue these types of people who are in need.

In Europe,

it's politically incorrect to help Christians right now, which is just

a travesty.

Politically incorrect almost anywhere.

Go ahead.

Exactly.

I was saying that, yeah,

reach out to Mike Pence's office.

Reach out to your congressman.

pray for these people.

And if you can help out any way, just go to thenazarenefund.org and look what we're doing and help us out.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Zeno, Michael, as always, thank you.

Nazarenefund.org, the Nazarenefund.org.

And please call your congressman, call your senator.

This is something that we can get through.

If you have your voice heard, call Mike Pence's office.

The vice president is aware of this and he is working.

Let him know that this is important to you and he can let the president know that this is important to you.

Thanks as always, Mike.

Thank you.

Glenn Beck Mercury

Glenn Beck.

Okay, we're both having a

difficult time with the quiet place.

A quiet place, I believe it is.

A quiet place.

Also, you do not give away any of the things we just talked about because we've both seen it.

I won't, I won't, I won't.

The reason why we brought it up is because I have questions on it.

I have questions.

There are questions to be had.

Yeah, there's a question.

It's not completely airtight, but it's pretty.

I loved it.

I thought it was a good thing.

I mean, the solution that they come up with, nobody else came up with that solution.

Nobody in the whole world.

All the scientists.

Nobody thought.

No one did think that until them, and that's why you watch the story.

Yeah,

geez.

No, I really liked the movie.

I think it's the best suspense that I've seen since probably a Hitchcock.

I mean, it was very Hitchcocky and where it doesn't show any, there's no blood, there's no guts, there's nothing that you're going to walk around it, you know, night going, oh, it's going to come and get me.

It's none of that.

It's just great suspense.

Yeah.

And it's a great movie.

Really good.

Was that the last movie you've seen?

You usually go see multiple movies per day.

Is it?

No, usually I see.

I see at least once a week, usually, but I haven't.

I just finished watching the Netflix Wild, Wild Country.

Have you watched this at all?

Oh, so good.

So good.

It's a six-part documentary series

on,

you know, many people will remember it, but from the 80s, this

random group of thousands of people moved into a town and just created a giant city.

Oh, I don't know that one.

Is that the one where the cultists?

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

I saw the first episode of that.

I haven't finished it.

Oh, really?

They're all dressed in red.

It's some of the weirdest imagery, and they had so much footage from it.

I mean, it was incredible the amount of detail they had, uh, but it's a really, I mean, a really, really interesting story.

So, I just finished Lost in Space with a Family last night.

Oh,

no, okay, it's really,

really good.

It's very hard to find things for families now.

Have you noticed that?

You know, it's either like,

hey, let's, I'm a talking tomato.

Okay, I got it.

I got it, but my kids aren't for anymore.

You know, as soon as, as soon as your kid, your kid either wants a talking tomato or just wants a trashed mouth zucchini.

That just happens right away.

Just right away.

It goes from the tomato saying nice things right to a trash can just using the F word all the time.

From veggie tails to sausage party almost immediately.

Immediately.

And I don't know why.

I really don't know why.

So it's really hard to find things that are really good, high quality.

And I thought Lost in Space was.

I mean, there's a few times that they're swearing in it, but in comparison, I mean,

my wife, we start TV shows all the time.

And Rafe and I just look at each other like,

because she comes in the room all the time.

Turn that off.

What are you watching?

You're like,

honey, there's nothing left besides Veggie Tales.

There's nothing left.

And so when you find gold like Lost in Space, which is really good, really entertaining, well done,

and

isn't the, you know,

you know, pornography channel 30, you know, 30% of the show, it's fantastic.

Yeah.

I've noticed too, like back in the day, you had everyone kind of watched, generally speaking, the same shows.

Like you knew like it was Tom and Jerry for your kids, or, you know, you had those like basic cartoons that were outlined, and everyone kind of knew they were approved.

Right now, you go like on Netflix, and there's 50 shows that I've never heard of for kids, and they're releasing them three and four a week.

And they look, the pictures look great.

I mean, they look like they'd be perfect for my kids, and that, but I mean, what am I gonna do?

Sit down and watch every freaking one of these shows.

And so, you wind up wondering,

should I show them a show and take a risk?

And then you never know, halfway through, does it turn into a serial killer drama?

I don't know.

It might.

It might.

It's true.

But I mean, you know, I'm a crappy parent, so you just take the risk.

There is nothing out there you can trust.

There's nothing you can trust.

Yeah, I kind of wish there probably is out there since every website exists.

But like, it seems like it would be worse.

No, but it's like Disney.

Disney used to be a universal name that used to mean something.

Yeah, it meant something.

And now it's like, no, no, have you watched some of the shows from the Disney channel?

No.

No, I don't want my kids watching that.

That's true.

I think it would be helpful to have that site that probably exists that just would rate it, not with

a super offended all-the-time mindset, but just something that said, okay, this one's okay for your kids.

I don't want the Pope to rate them.

Yeah, right.

Well, maybe this Pope.

Maybe this.

He's probably offended about the right amount.

Yeah.

Pack it a minute.

Glenn back.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So did you see

Camille Cosby's letter to the editor where she...

I did not.

It's really,

it's well worth the read.

You know, she didn't show up at the trial.

And you're kind of

i mean finally a woman's standing up you know what i mean right because not standing behind her dirtbag man right okay nope that's not what happened okay okay listen to this there's this this this we could spend a year on just this

we the people are the first three words in our nation's constitution But who were those people in 1787?

Dr.

Howard Zinn, the renowned, honest historian, states in his best-selling book, A People's History of the United States.

Stu, you want to take that one for a second?

Oh, God.

I mean, that is a complete and utter disaster.

I mean, it's just, it's every crazy left-wing historical theory wrapped into one.

Yeah, he's, I mean, he's a Marxist, and he does not like America, does not like the founding.

I mean, he's.

It intentionally looks at only the bad things.

Yes.

And it looks at them.

The way he spins it is kind of like looking at it through all historical events through the perspective of the oppressed party.

Yes.

So

or just an oppressed party.

It's like looking at the founding of America.

Is it a positive thing?

Well, not from Native Americans perspective.

Like it's that type of book.

So he says she's quoting him as saying, the majority of the 55 men who framed the Constitution were men of wealth and land, slaves,

manufacturing or shipping.

Clearly, most of the people were not included in that original draft of the Constitution.

No women, no Native Americans, poor white men, and absolutely no enslaved Africans.

What have the masses of people done who are treated as outcasts by we the people?

They, through the purity of the unceasing human spirit, forced 27 amendments to the Constitution that have guaranteed fundamental rights to all people, finally doing what the framers should have done in 1787.

Well, if they could have gotten it done, they would have, Camille.

If you would stop reading Howard Zinn and start reading, I don't know, their own words, you would see that was their goal.

They couldn't get it done.

Now enters American citizen Bill Cosby.

I was going to say, this is an interesting start.

I thought maybe it was about her husband, but no, it was about.

Now enters American citizen Bill Cosby.

The overall media, with their frenzied, relentless demonization of him and unquestioning acceptance of accusers' allegations without attendant proof, have superseded the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which guaranteed due process and equal protection, and thereby eliminated the possibility of a fair trial and an unbiased jury.

Bill Cosby was labeled as guilty because the media and accusers said so, period.

Well, kind of.

The media and what?

The media and who?

The media, let's see, was labeled guilty because the media and his accusers.

I mean, the accuser, the media is not really important there.

The accusers kind of are, though, right?

Well, she's saying, listen, the media ensured the dissemination of the propaganda by establishing barricades, preventing the dissemination of the truth in violation of the protections of the First Amendment.

And the media, now the people's judges and juries.

So, what she's saying is partially true.

I don't know about Bill Cosby, but this is the word world we're living in now.

Right.

So, basically, the accusation was made, media amplified, and he had no chance.

Correct.

Since when are all accusers truthful?

They're definitely not.

History disproves that.

For example, Emmett Till's accuser immediately comes to mind.

So she's now going back to Tilltown.

Going back to Tilltown.

Downtown Tillville.

With Bill Cosby.

This is interesting because this is

the

problem, supposedly, and now the left-wing publications are admitting it, is

this never would have happened to Bill Cosby.

He would never have gone to prison for his crimes if he was not coming out and saying things that were conservative.

That's a thing that now the left-wing media is admitting.

They're saying he came out, he criticized black people, black culture, left-wing culture, and the pushback from that is what made it possible to convict him.

Yeah, he was a darling of the left.

And as soon as he stopped being a darling of the left,

he was no longer protected.

Exactly, which is

a massive admission there, right?

I mean, again, if you're a rapist, you should go to jail because of your raping, not because of your politics.

And they're now admitting that, you know what, we were kind of okay with the whole raping thing when we thought he was left-wing.

Now that we think he might be right-wing,

the rapiness is not so wonderful after all.

And here's, so that's been kind of the background of this.

Here's Camille Cosby sounding like a very far leftist,

the exact opposite of the way Bill is at least portrayed.

In the case of Bill Cosby, unproven accusations evolved into lynch mobs who publicly and privately coerced cancellation of Bill Cosby's scheduled performances, syndications of the Cosby Show, rescissions of honorary degrees, and vindictive attempts to close an exhibit of our collection of African-American art in the Smithsonian Museum of African Art.

Now,

all of this is true.

All of this is true.

But, Camille, were you there for me

when,

let's see, they publicly and privately tried to coerce cancellation of my performances or my shows or anything else?

Were you doing that?

Surely not.

Surely not.

And by the way, yours was because of your politics.

My was because

the loss of protection because of your politics over multiple rape accusers is kind of a different story.

Camille, were you there for Bill O'Reilly?

Were you there for Ryan Seacrest?

Or is it just your husband?

All of this occurred before the trial even started.

The worst injustice, however, has been carried out in the Pennsylvania Montgomery County Courthouse.

Three criminal charges promised during an unethical campaign for the district attorney's office were filed against my husband, all based on what I believe to be falsified accounts by the newly elected district attorney's key witness.

I firmly believe her recent testimony during trial was perjured, as was shown in trial.

It was unsupported by any evidence and riddled with innumerable dishonest contradictions.

Moreover, Bill Cosby's defense team introduced the testimony of a witness who confirmed that the district attorney's witness admitted that she had not been sexually assaulted, but she could say that she was, but that she could say that she was and get money, which is exactly what she did.

I'm publicly asking for a criminal investigation of that district attorney and his cohorts.

Once again, an innocent person has been found guilty based on an unthinking, unquestioning, unconstitutional frenzy propagated by the media and allowed to play out in supposed court of law.

This is mod justice.

This is not real justice.

This tragedy must be undone, not just for Bill Cosby, but for the country.

Well, you know what?

There are elements of truth in that.

Yeah.

Camille, I have to tell you,

I'll stand with you on an investigation to make sure everything was on the up and up.

I'm with you on that.

And if something was wrong, I'm with you.

Because, you know, these,

like to me, it feels like Bill Cosby definitely did these things.

There's certainly some evidence of it.

There's certainly some

of his own words from depositions that certainly indicate that maybe he did some things that were not so good.

But I will say at some point, one of these that just feels

right is going to be wrong.

Yes.

One of these that is just feels like we've nailed it is going to wind up being the exact opposite.

You can't feel when you're in a court of law and you're a jury, you can't feel your way through it.

Yeah.

You don't, that's, that's, that's the opposite of our justice system.

You don't go, well, I just kind of have a gut.

No, no, no, no.

No, there's no gut here.

What are the facts?

Can you make a case based on the facts?

Did they make the case to you based on the facts?

Beyond a reasonable doubt.

Yes.

Beyond a reasonable doubt.

That's a pretty high standard.

It is a high standard.

And that's what's been so disturbing about the way we've looked at this.

You know, two examples.

First, the conservative thing, right?

Where like they're saying, well, this probably wouldn't have happened to him if he was if he was in line as a left-wing activist, as he's supposed to be.

It wouldn't have happened to him.

And again, that's not conservatives saying that, because I think for a while, that was kind of a conservative conspiracy theory.

Now the left is admitting it.

Nobody, yeah.

And look what they're doing to Kanye.

I mean, if that's not the same thing, they love this guy.

Now they hate him.

Just because he won't fall in line with everything.

He says he likes Hillary.

He likes Emigrant Gonzalez.

Right.

I mean, he just won't fall in with everything that you believe.

There's no, and that, and that, by the way, is the exact point Kanye West is trying to make about the thought prison.

Right.

It's the exact point.

You can't even leave.

You can't even leave for an hour.

You can't make one, not one 140 or 280 character tweet can break the mold of what I have to be.

I mean, that is a, it's a heck of a standard.

But I mean, it also goes into the way that they're talking about this with Me Too.

Like, well, what's the effect of Me Too on this trial?

You know, this didn't happen before, but now Me Too has gone on and now he's been convicted.

What's the role of me too?

It should be zero.

A hashtag should not be throwing people in prison.

When you go to prison, you go to prison because you committed a crime against another individual.

One individual did something to one other person in this particular case.

That was what was up to be decided.

It was not whether guys in general have been bad to women in the past.

That is not what was on trial there.

And we roll over these things

without any

nervousness about what the long-term trend of that is.

And it doesn't need to be a long-term trend.

It just has to be one.

That is the way the justice system is set up to make sure that innocent until proven guilty.

And let's be honest about it, we err to the side of innocence.

You have to be able to go without a reasonable doubt.

Now, to my mind, there's been a lot.

I think there are questions of whether the evidence that was allowed, the people who were allowed to speak at Cosby's trial, I think that seemed to me to be influenced by the general vibe of the culture right now.

The first time he was tried, I think they had one other accuser who was allowed to speak.

This time it was five.

You know, to me, I mean, usually the number there is zero, right?

I mean, they're unrelated cases.

It's just, you know, someone's, he did supposedly something similar to other accusers.

And sometimes that's allowed and sometimes it's not.

But again, why five times the amount of people this time where they actually get the accusers?

There's lines with the statute of limitations on a lot of these cases.

And because we all think,

I know I think that Cosby did a lot of bad things to a lot of people over a long period of time,

that is unimportant to the legal case against him in this particular matter.

If we go with Harvey Weinstein and you were sitting in a jury box and no matter how you felt about, I know this guy did it.

I know this guy did it other times.

This one, I don't believe her.

You cannot say,

yep, well, he's guilty.

No.

Even if he's done all the other ones,

you can't just say he's guilty on that one too.

No.

And I will say our legal system has held up pretty well under this.

I mean, look at Harvey Weinstein hasn't even been charged.

Now, mob justice is one thing, and the Court of Public Opinion has absolutely convicted him.

His company's destroyed.

He's destroyed his career.

He's had lots of consequences.

He's had no legal consequences other than paying people out.

That's amazing.

It's amazing.

And he's what you would think of as the example of this movement, right?

I mean,

there's been hundreds of people, seemingly, that have lost their jobs over this, but none of them have seemingly been able to have any evidence for them to be committing crimes.

Wouldn't you like to know, wouldn't that be a good follow-up story for, I don't know, Vanity Fair?

Would be.

Why has this man faced no legal consequence?

An occasional story about a, hey, they're about to charge him with something, and then nothing.

Where Bill Cosby has already gone through two trials

and there's nothing?

That is an interesting

question.

And, you know, one of the reasons why

people don't look, Camille, if people aren't looking at this trial, it's because, especially in Pennsylvania, you know, people on the left were Mumia Abu Jamal.

That guy is a really,

really bad cop killer.

And to cry, oh, justice, justice, justice on that guy hurts it when it's your husband behind bars.

Because everybody just goes, oh, you know, you lefties, you're always saying that.

And it's incumbent upon us not to get tired of hearing that.

We have to always be searching for justice.

But it makes it really hard when, and this is going to happen with me too.

It's going to happen with racism.

It's going to happen with sexism.

It's going to happen with everything, all of it.

Because people are just getting tired of hearing, oh, that's cultural appropriate.

Shut up.

Shut up.

When it's a real problem, then ring the bell.

Until that time, shut up.

You're really promoting that op-ed you wrote.

I know.

It's called Shut Up.

And the entire text is...

Shut up.

Yeah, it took me a while to write, but I think you'll like it.

I think you'll like it.

Glenn Beck Mercury

Glenn back

well my first uh Prager University video is out today.

I'm just gonna tweet it.

It's

it's about Walt Disney and why he matters today and

could he create what he created in today's America?

Check it out.

Prager University,

the Walt Disney video, Walt Disney American Dreamer.

Glenn Beck, Mercury.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn Beck.

All right, let me just say this.

The world world needs more human beings like James Shaw Jr.

You remember that name?

April 22nd, Nashville Waffle House.

The attacker shot and killed four people.

If not for Shaw, it would have been much, much worse.

Shaw took a bullet wound himself, hid near the restrooms, and waited for the opportunity.

Retreat wasn't on his mind.

Letting the people inside the restaurant die, definitely not on his mind.

Him dying, not on his mind.

Some people run away.

Others run toward it.

Those that run toward it usually wear a uniform, but not this day.

Shaw, sensing an opening, charged the would-be mass murderer and disarmed him.

The killer's rampage was now over, and it was all due to an ordinary guy that found something inside of himself that was absolutely extraordinary.

It's hard to imagine doing what James Shaw did, at least for some of us, at least for a weenie like me.

Without training, charging an attacker armed with a weapon isn't something that 90% of us think we would do.

But maybe we do.

It's rare.

Movies are usually made to tell the story if it ever happens.

Clint Eastwood directed the movie 1517 to Paris, telling the story of the three Americans that did exactly the same thing that Shaw did, but they were on a train in France.

One of them was also trained to do that.

If you've seen the movie, the scene where Spencer Stone, unarmed, charges the terrorist as he raises his weapon to fire, captures perfectly the type of courage that we're talking about here.

Uncommon valor and courage.

It is the common virtue amongst these types of heroes.

But lately, I have to tell you, I've been more impressed with how James Shaw Jr.

has handled himself in the media than even in the waffle house.

He has every right to brag, to be arrogant, to be, oh, you know what?

Yeah, so I took him down.

but the man

the man doesn't even see himself as a hero

in fact multiple times he says I'm not a hero and despite every opportunity to bask in the glory he is repeatedly maintaining his humility

this weekend was another amazing example Shaw goes on to the Van Jones show to talk about what happened on CNN Jones immediately proceeds to try to goad Shaw into bashing President Trump.

Listen.

He hasn't successfully contacted you.

You know, but he gave a shout out to, you know, I don't know, he gave a shout out to Kanye today.

No shout out to you.

How do you feel when the President of the United States misses an opportunity to hold up somebody who's trying to do good stuff like you?

I know he has a busy agenda, busy schedule.

Maybe he just hasn't got around to me.

Maybe my time is coming.

It's not for me to judge really what he does.

It's just, you know, I did what I did and I didn't really do it for recognition.

I did it just to save my life, honestly.

Listen to that.

He does it even to say to save other people's lives.

He was just, I was just trying to save my life.

Could this guy be any more perfect in this day and age?

Literally, everyone rushes in to turn a tragedy into red meat,

into some political stance,

into I've got a book deal, a movie deal.

Not this guy.

Even the 17-year-old high school students are doing it, but James Shaw Jr.

isn't having any of it.

He's an amazing

American.

He diffused an obvious agenda that Van Jones was leading him down and downplayed what he had accomplished.

You know, besides James, I want to meet his parents.

I don't know.

I don't know the parents of James Shaw Jr., but I'd sure like to meet them.

Whoever you are, hold your head high.

You raised successfully a Captain America.

I mean, somebody fire up the cloning machine.

The world needs more human beings like James Shaw Jr.

It's Monday, May 7th.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Why did you do that?

I know, now he's going to be wrecked.

You know, now we're like two days away from a report about how when he was nine years old, he was killing kitty cats.

Yes.

I don't know.

He puts pineapple on his pizza.

Something controversial.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I don't.

Something bad is going to come out now.

This is what the media does.

When you have someone who's like, seems like just a great example of everything that you want humanity to be, there will be.

They will tear him down.

I hope not.

America needs heroes.

My son, my daughter, they need heroes.

This guy's a hero.

This guy's great.

Yeah.

And not just for stopping the gunfire, but because of the way he's behaving in the media.

That's to me, it is more remarkable

to have your 15 minutes of fame handed to you

and you not exploit the crap out of it and spike the football.

Yeah, I mean, this is not exactly the same case, but I kind of felt a little tinge of that the other day, too, with the way that Starbucks story wrapped up.

Did you see that?

No.

I didn't like the story.

I did the story.

I didn't like it,

I thought it was covered incorrectly, and I thought the guys did the wrong thing.

Oh,

the two black guys in Pennsylvania, I did see that.

Yeah, they took

a dollar.

I like that.

You know, and then they took, and they wound up creating a fund of, I think it was a couple hundred grand for some charity.

But they didn't take, they didn't try to hold up the state for millions and millions of dollars.

They wanted to make things better.

And, you know, like, I might disagree with their analysis of the situation, but I mean, again, they didn't exploit, they didn't go on to make it all about themselves,

which was kind of nice.

I thought that was great.

That was kind of nice.

I thought that was really great.

There's a couple of stories we need to talk about.

George Washington, I don't know.

I mean,

I have some issues with George Washington, which is the first for me.

I also have the story about the mom who decided to deliver her own baby after watching a YouTube tutorial.

Yeah, not everything is for YouTube.

You mentioned an example of this that maybe we can get to at some point of what you shouldn't YouTube.

Yeah, I think that's a good thing.

Which was electrical work underwater.

Yeah.

Maybe not the best thing to YouTube.

Maybe have a professional do it.

Though I will say,

can we get into that here for a second?

No, go ahead.

Go ahead.

Well, no, I have another YouTube video I I want to bring up, but you go first.

I'm just, I mean, I did.

Okay, so the pool people came over to the house, and they said,

the lights in the pool are burned out.

I mean, I know wealthiest 1%, you know, problem.

And

I don't know.

Do we drain the pool?

I don't know.

I would have thought, drain the pool.

That's what I would have thought.

I mean, I didn't grow up with pools or anything else.

And

so

they said, oh, it's $2,000.

And I'm like,

well,

we don't swim at at night, so I don't really care.

Okay, thanks, but no, thank you.

Kids, throw a flashlight in the bottom of the pool.

Okay.

So I decided, you know, I'm like, I got to replace the pool lights.

I don't want to spend $2,000.

And my son-in-law said,

what are you talking about?

$2,000.

And

he said, I, you know, he said, we had a pool and I watched the pool guy change them.

He said, you take one screw out, you take out and they just kind of float to the top.

And then, you know, you unseal them with the gasket.

You got to make sure the gasket's right.

And you change the light bulb, you seal it back up, you screw it in place, and you're done.

It doesn't seem like a $2,000 job.

Right.

So then he, so then he says, no, look.

And so we were watching it on YouTube, and we're like,

I can do that.

This is what I mean.

Yeah, see, this is the problem.

This is the problem.

So I get the lights out.

But they're now sitting on the side of the pool because I don't know, the little sticker on the side about, you you know hey electrocution

kind of spooks me a bit really yeah it does it did youtube it because that's enough enough precaution yeah uh and so i we we got it all but i'm afraid to i mean how do you test for electrocution you know that's that's really what that's that's the only question i youtubed how do you check if your pool is now electrified and you shouldn't jump in i didn't find anything The only thing I can think of is throwing in someone you don't like.

Right.

And that's not a possibility.

Okay.

So, I mean, you know, I wish it was like a, you know, a fry elater is really good.

Right.

You know, how do you know the oil is really super hot?

I don't know.

Throw a french fry in there.

You'll see.

Besides something that'll go

and then float to the top, I don't know how to test the pool.

So I'm not putting the lights back in.

So wait, you started this process

after the big YouTube research you did.

Yeah, but now I'm too chicken to put them in.

Because, I mean, what do you do?

I mean, really, until I know, how do you check to see if the pool is, you know?

I mean, I think the correct answer here is you get another estimate from a pool company that's not $2,000.

You don't do underwater electrical work by yourself.

That's what I would say.

Nobody's going to give me an estimate.

They drive up to my house and they're like, all right.

This guy bought this house.

Look at this sucker.

Right.

They know, yeah, yeah.

This is that loudmouth on the radio.

He's not going to have a clue as to what's going on.

He has no marketable skills.

He's not going to know.

Exactly.

I changed the lights on my house this weekend.

You know, the, the, you know, like by the garage and stuff.

I changed them because they were all burned out.

Because, you know, we can live in the dark.

What, what's wrong?

My wife has been yelling at me forever.

Get the light map.

So I, so I do.

And what's the first thing?

Don't get up on the ladder.

What, well, what?

Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm not tall enough to get them.

right so i change all the light bulbs

because i want to be handy you yes that's true you want to you're

not handy but you want to be handy right and so i should probably tell you that one of the reasons why i didn't put the light bulbs back into

is because after changing all the light bulbs

Then some of them worked before I changed it.

Okay.

Then I changed all the light bulbs and now none of them work.

So it's like a Christmas tree thing, right?

It's like Christmas lights.

I don't Clark Griswold to do the house.

Somehow or another, none of the lights now work.

And I'm afraid the pool

does work

with that record of success.

I mean, anybody want to come swimming at my house?

Big pool party.

I try.

I really do try.

Just never works out for me.

It's sad.

It's sad.

Do you know how to fix pool lights?

I do not.

I would definitely.

I feel like the correct...

That's like a $40 job, man.

You're replacing three lights.

Well, I did it in 10 minutes.

Well, I did part of it in 10 minutes.

Yeah, I mean, it's really just a precision job, right?

Whatever needs to be done to protect you from electrocution really needs to be done.

It's like a $40 job.

I'll pay you $150.

Right, right.

You know, just to make sure.

I'll even pay you $250 if my kids aren't electrocuted when they get into the pool.

I do want to know.

It's one of those things that I kind of feel bad.

You know, it was like 200, it's like two grand to do.

And, you know, then the kid is electrocuted and you're like, yeah, I didn't want to spend the two grand.

It's really kind of.

You know what you do is you get a kid electrocution money-back guarantee.

If your kid jumps and it does a cannonball, then floats to the top, you get your $250 back.

my son and i are we were out in the back and you know i was turning the switches and i'm like i'm pretty sure that one's it and he's like let's make sure let's make sure that's the one

anyway uh let me tell you a little bit about uh a course that we um set up for you to understand bitcoin what's bitcoin at today uh 93

bitcoin has stabilized now 9300 and uh and and it is part of our future i don't know how it's going to happen, but it is part of our future.

And you have to understand Bitcoin, you have to understand blockchain, because that is part of our future.

And I think a big part of our future.

Well, we didn't even know how to invest in it.

You know, buying and selling, and especially some of the littler ones,

I don't have any idea.

So I think it was, was it around Christmas time?

We brought a guy in named Tika Tiwari, and we met him in my office for a while, a couple of hours, and Stu and I,

we sat down with him he's a former hedge fund guy from Wall Street and he has probably helped more people you know with cryptocurrency than I think probably anybody else at least helping them get rich

and we just said

I don't necessarily want to know all the stuff on you know which to buy I want to understand how it works first I want to understand how do you get into these exchanges how do you buy how do you sell so he's put together a crypto master course and you can do it now at smartcrypto course.com.

SmartcryptoCourse.com.

You go there and you can take the course so you can

figure out whether you want to invest or not in cryptocurrencies.

At least you'll understand what they are and how to, should you ever decide.

It's smartcrypto course.com.

Do it now, smartcrypto course.com.

Glenn Beck Mercury.

Glenn Beck.

No, I don't.

No, I just don't.

I just.

So I was speaking of YouTube, clicking around on YouTube, saw a little familiar face

on Prager University, Mr.

Glenn Beck.

Oh, yeah.

First Prager University released today.

First Prager University video that I've done.

They asked me to do it on Walt Disney, of all things.

Yeah, kind of cool.

I mean, you're certainly a guy who's into Disney,

which is, you know, so it makes you a good candidate for that.

Although, you know, Prager University, it's going to hit a billion views this year.

I know.

A billion.

Yeah.

They're changing the world one video at a time.

They really are.

It really is an amazing project that kind of came out of nowhere.

I mean, it wasn't something that I remember seeing the first couple of them.

I'm like, these are really good.

And all of a sudden, just everyone knows about them.

Yeah.

So I did it on Walt Disney because I don't know if, you know, there's something.

Look at the entrepreneurs of the world.

Look at the people who have truly changed the world.

Make the list.

Henry Ford,

John Rockefeller,

Elon Musk, Steve Jobs,

Bill Gates.

They're all in the same place, America.

Why?

And the Walt Disney story is a really good pop culture way to understand

what's happening here.

And, you know, it starts out with a guy who just has a dream and everybody is against it.

Everybody's against it.

Nobody thinks.

I mean, now it's like, ah, we're going to make a mouse talk.

Nobody thought that back then.

And his whole life was like that.

We think of a theme park now.

It was Walt Disney that came up with that.

He was arguing with the banks all the time.

So it's an amusement park.

Nobody wants to go to an amusement park.

No, it's not, it's a theme park, it's different than an amusement park because an amusement park was like a carnival

and his was a theme park.

Well, he changed the world.

Imagine the world without Walt Disney, yeah, because I mean, theme park wasn't even a known thing, no, it was his idea, yeah, you know,

I don't, I don't think I realized he basically invented that.

Oh, yeah, no, he was completely alone, yeah, like not just not just

uh, invented it alone on that.

Alone.

So

it's in 1955,

1954, and he finally gets the loan.

And he gets a loan from ABC Television.

They don't want the theme park.

They just want the show.

They don't care about the theme park.

They don't get it.

They don't see it.

He knows that I can use television as a way to promote this, but he's never done television before.

He doesn't even have a crew.

He He has nothing.

He has his archive.

And they're like, okay, so you'll get some of the archives, but it'll also be live too.

There'll be new stuff, right?

Every week.

Every week, a television show.

Okay.

So he does that deal in the summer, like end of summer, September.

They announce that the wonderful world of Disney is going to happen.

That season.

He calls his brother from New York and he's like, like, we got a television show.

He's like, well, we don't do television.

He's like, we do now.

So they had to do that.

In October, they announced the park, Disneyland, break ground, and then cut the ribbon in July.

There is no one that could do that today.

And it's not his genius.

It's the genius of America.

You, I contend, you wouldn't get the permit to cut down a single single orange tree in Orange County in the time it took for him to break ground, to cut the ribbon.

We were talking nine months.

It's insane.

Insane.

Insane.

And so the Prager University video is about Walt Disney, but it is really about why do these guys,

how come we have all these guys?

What is it about the people like Elon Musk and Steve Steve Jobs and Walt Disney that can change the world, but they do it here?

And it's the freedom that we have here.

And it's the idea that we don't rely on the government to do it.

We think ourselves, I got an idea.

Why don't we just do that?

And we've got to preserve that if we're going to survive.

So watch it at Prager University.

I just tweeted it out about an hour ago or so.

And you can find it at glennbeck.com.

I'm sure we'll post it at the Blaze today as well.

But share it with a friend.

Watch it and share it with a friend.

Yeah,

there's just so many.

You can just get lost down the wormhole of Prager University videos and just be there all day.

So good.

Because, you know, that darn YouTube because

that YouTube recommendation thing, and then they just keep giving you more and more to watch.

And you're like, oh, I haven't seen that one.

Oh, I haven't seen that one.

And then all of a sudden, it's 4am.

And you're like, what have I done with my life?

At least with Prager, you've learned something.

At least you've done that.

Learned something.

Prager University, you can find it on YouTube.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

So do we have a solution?

Pat, have you ever changed the light in a pool?

No.

Okay.

No.

All right.

You're about as handy as I am, except I may have been downgraded this weekend because I changed the lights in my house, okay, on the outside of my house, you know, by the garage and stuff like that, because they were burning out.

And so I changed the lights around my house, and

now they don't work.

Now, they were working before.

They were just burned out.

But now they're not working.

And you're thinking it's connected to changing the lights in the pool?

No.

No.

Okay.

Because I didn't change the lights in the pool.

I just took the lights out of the pool.

But then I read these little stickers, you know, on the side.

You know, if you're not experienced, you don't know what you're doing.

If you've never been to space, don't attempt this.

And so I was like, eh.

So you have to have been an experienced astronaut in order to change your pool lights.

Well, yeah.

Pretty much, yeah.

Yeah, I think so.

That's why I never have.

Yeah.

Because I've never been to space.

Well, they were going to charge me $2,000 to change them.

And I'm like, come on.

Come on.

What?

I watched the YouTube.

Are they gold-plated?

No.

It's exactly what some, you know,

$2,000.

Of course, you know, again, when your

child floats to the surface, you feel pretty good about the 2K.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's the, you know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I should have probably because I then, then I was like, you know.

I want to call around for a bigger price.

I'll feel pretty bad if my kids are electrocuted because I wanted to save some money.

I'll tell you this.

I'll do it for half.

Oh, wow.

For $1,000, I'll put the bulbs in your pool.

And check it.

And check it.

And jump in yourself.

Yep.

For $1,000.

I definitely do not have that level of confidence in my own abilities to do that.

Yeah, I don't think I have that level of confidence.

I mean, I do.

It's just when you turn off the electric bulbs in the pool, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But eventually you have to turn it back on.

But here's the thing.

You feel pretty confident.

It's like, you know, I've changed lights in the house, you know, hung new lights and everything else.

You turn the power off, you turn it on, but it's not surrounded by its deadly nemesis, water.

You know what I mean?

It's like, no, there's no amount of rubber I can put on and still be okay.

So it's one of those things, too.

Like, let's say you go to another place and they say, hey, I'll do it for $7.50.

Right?

Yeah.

Then you took the bargain basement price for the guy changing the electricity.

I'm thinking about

that either.

I'm thinking about just screwing the back in the walls and throwing flashlights at the bottom of the pool because it's just, it doesn't seem right no matter what I do, if something goes wrong.

And granted, it's a first world kind of problem.

It is, isn't it?

Yes.

No, it is.

They're not worried about

so much in the Congo right now.

No.

That means they're safer.

They're not worried about it.

And it's a threat we face that they don't.

Most people don't worry about it up north either, which is one reason why you live down in the south.

The per capita, when I grew up, nobody had a pool.

But I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

There's like one 72

degree day.

I knew one family in Helena with a pool.

Yeah.

I knew one family.

Because you can use it for like.

15 minutes a year.

Right, right.

Right.

Right.

Here it's just like you just want to come home and you just want to drive your car into your pool.

You're just, I can't take another second.

Anyway, there's a couple of primaries that are happening tomorrow, and one of them is happening in West Virginia.

And Sarah, do we happen to have the audio of

Blankenship?

Here's the, we played this for you last week.

The guy was in third place last week,

and then he released this video.

Hi, I'm Don Blankenship, candidate Senate, and I approve this message.

Swamp captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people.

While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich.

In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.

Mitch's swamp people are now running false negative ads against me.

They are also childishly calling me despicable and mentally ill.

The war to drain the swamp and create jobs for West Virginia people has begun.

I will beat Joe Manchin and ditch Cocaine Mitch for the sake of the kids.

Just put that guy in your pool.

He's electric enough.

I mean,

so that's that's amazing.

And

if you didn't think that he actually says China people

in real life, it's hysterical.

Yeah.

I mean, it's just perfect.

It's the guy you're like, I want that guy.

I'm going to send that guy to Washington.

It almost seems like a parody spot because of the music behind it.

And it doesn't even feel real.

And yet, it catapulted him from third to first over the weekend, according to one poll.

Yeah.

He's now in the lead.

It was an internal poll conducted for a rival Senate campaign.

The results, Blankenship 31, Jenkins 28, Morrissey 27.

And here's the thing.

I don't know.

This is not a race I've followed particularly closely.

I was asking around

on the socials about who do you think?

If you're a sane person in West Virginia, who do you vote for in this race?

And

I'm seeing Morrissey.

I guess Rand Paul endorsed Morrissey.

But I mean, I really don't know.

I just haven't.

I've somewhat given up on these local races again.

Well, I mean,

if Blankenship wins, that is just, that's America saying.

Oh, Manchin will beat him.

And you'll, I mean,

you could be stuck with a worse Democrat than Joe Manchin.

And then I think West Virginia will, against Blankenship, will probably select Manchin.

Manchin might win against any of these guys.

Yeah, he might.

But he probably, he should lose.

I mean, Trump dominated that state.

It was legitimately Trump's best state, I would say.

Didn't he win by 28 or something?

It was a huge vote.

It was big.

But Donald Trump Jr.

came out and said, don't vote for Blankenship.

We're going to lose.

It's going to be like Alabama all over again with Roy Moore.

And then Donald Trump has now today,

the dad, the president, came out today and tweeted, hey, don't vote for this guy.

He's going to be a disaster.

And it's not just the China people and the swamp people and the West Virginia people.

It's also the fact that the guy was found liable for the death of 29 minors in his mind because of safety violations.

He spent a year in jail for that.

That's bad.

I don't know.

I don't know why you would gravitate toward this guy, but we've been saying that for about three or four years now.

I mean, why would you gravitate to his son?

No, we've been saying that for 10 years.

I mean, politics is just entertainment now, right?

I mean, and this guy clearly would be the most entertaining guy to have in the Senate.

You'd sit there and say that guy is a senator.

No, I can't.

I mean, what happens to the Senate?

Play that I had again.

I mean, imagine this now message from the senator.

The thing I love about this more than anything, I mean, because it's obviously crazy on 100 levels, but he at no point shows any facial expression.

None, right?

None.

It is completely absent of expression.

This is Hollywood casting.

You couldn't cast this better.

Play it again.

Hi, I'm Don Blankship, candidate for U.S.

Senate, and I approve this message.

Swamp captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people.

While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich.

He doesn't even know.

In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.

Mitch's swamp people are now running false negative ads against me.

They are also childishly calling me despicable and mentally ill.

That's an interesting thing.

Who says people say I'm mentally ill?

You know,

some people say I'm mentally ill.

Keep that out of your campaign.

Usually that's a good

tip.

I will say I noticed something there on the sixth or seventh viewing that I did not notice on the first five, which is he says they are running false ads against me.

They are also saying I'm despicable and that I'm mentally ill.

That's totally separate.

That's true.

That's completely true, but I don't like the false things you're saying about my policies.

Sure, I am mentally ill, but I'm better than these China people.

It seems to me his legit argument.

Okay, all right, okay.

Let's Let's come back into the reality of today for just a second.

Do you think that China People was put in by ad people going, say China people?

It'll get a lot of people talking, blah, blah, blah.

Or do you think that some ad guy

or he wrote China People and everybody just, you know, was like, yeah, okay, China people.

Yeah, China People.

I think he realizes he's in third place.

He's trying to do something something to draw attention to him.

He thinks he can win with this tactic.

I think that's what it is.

I mean, I don't think he's like a deep thinker when it comes to politics.

Do you think he knows it's offensive to call people from China to

get him on the phone?

Let's see if we can get him on the phone.

Yeah, that would be very interesting.

I would like to.

See if we can get on the phone.

The primary is tomorrow, so it's got to be quick.

I will say, I think

if you want to read into this a little bit,

this is a poll, an internal poll that came from a rival Senate campaign.

Now, when you release an internal poll and you're a campaign, normally what you're doing is you're showing how well the race is going, right?

However, in this particular case, they are motivated to get Trump's endorsement because all three candidates have been running as I'm the most Trumpish.

Like, there's not, they're all saying we are super tight.

We'll do everything we can to support the president.

They are all saying that.

So, here, if you're a rival campaign and you leak out there, hey, there's a poll showing us behind,

and then you are successful to bring Donald Trump into the race a day before the election with a tweet saying, don't vote for this guy.

It could be a good strategy.

It could be a good strategy.

Why don't vote for this guy?

Why not vote for this guy?

Well, I mean, I think that would be their preference, whoever leaked that poll.

But, you know, this is a situation where I think they legitimately think they can win this race with either of the other two.

They think they could lose it with Blankenchip.

They will lose it with Blankenship.

I think they probably will.

Because, God, imagine, remember, if he wins this, he was in third place and then is rewarded with China people, right?

So what is he going to do when he gets into the actual election?

He's just going to keep ramping this up.

It's kind of why I want to vote for him.

You know, I kind of want to vote for him.

No, it's just.

Did you see Stephen Hawking?

You know what his last words were?

I mean, his last written words?

No.

Basically, we live in the Matrix.

He has gone off of the bubble universe theory, you know, the multiverse theory.

And he says that he thought that we were living in some sort of a projection, some sort of

a two-dimensional that seems three-dimensional hologram.

That's wow.

That's really where he was in the end.

I am starting to believe that.

So if we're living in the matrix, let's make it entertaining.

Yeah, because what does it matter?

What does it matter in the end?

All right, let me tell you about our

sponsor this half hour.

It's Life Lock.

More than a million children were victims of identity fraud in 2017.

Children.

Now, why?

Because...

Well, there's two reasons.

One, the person who steals the identity knows they're not going to get caught for a very long time.

And the second is the most common perpetrator was a family friend.

How sick is that?

With limited to no financial history, children are the most likely to become victims of

new account fraud.

And they're not going to realize it until they apply for a credit card or for a loan years later, and then it's done.

There's so many threats in today's connected world.

It takes one weak link.

One.

And criminals can get in.

That's why there's the new Life Lock Identity Theft Protection.

It adds the power of Norton security, and it will help protect you against the threats to your identity and your devices that you can't easily see on your own.

And if you have a problem, the great thing is they have the people that are going to work to fix it.

Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats or prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

But with the new Life Lock with Norton security, they're able to uncover the threats that you might otherwise miss.

So protect yourself, protect your family.

Glenn Back Mercury.

Glenn back.

All right, so you

take the lights out of the pool.

Let's just say.

You take the lights out of the pool.

And you put them up.

And you're like, okay, don't touch anything.

I'll be back later tonight.

You know, I'll do this tomorrow.

And I told my wife, I'll be back this afternoon.

And I'll, I'll, you'll be here to save the day.

I'll be here to save the day.

So

my wife, she just writes to me and she said,

Are you talking about this on the air?

I'm like, yes.

Next text.

I've already just replaced one and it's working.

It's fine.

Okay, wait.

No.

Wow, that makes you feel like a man.

It does.

It really does.

It does.

I'm, you know, I'm like, okay, I'm freaked out by the electricity and the water thing.

I'm going to go by, you know, Leslie's pools today and talk to them a little bit, you know, a little one-on-one guy time, you know, talking about pool lights.

And then I'll come home and I'll do that.

No.

She just opened them up, replaced them, sealed them back up, put it in the water, turned it on.

Yeah, it works.

It'll be interesting to see if they mysteriously fail when you jump in.

If I die of electrocution, if you ever hear that I am in the pool, it was my wife who did it.

I would have actually believed that before the whole life-changing thing, but now I really believe it.

Honey, pool's fine.

Yeah, we haven't checked it yet, and it's great.

Hop on in.

Yeah, I think that's what's happening.

So do you know anything about these primaries tomorrow?

Other than blank and ships saying

China people, we have this, we have Indiana, which is a three-person race as well, which I would really like to hear at World of Stew.

Tweet me who you think is the good one here in both of these races.

And any of the other primaries.

I've given up on looking on good ones,

except for my town, my state.

You know, it's like, hmm.

If I'm not voting for you, I'm not going to advise you.

Yeah, because I mean, you can get obsessed by these, each individual Senate race.

And I mean, it's important.

Obviously, control of the Senate is really important.

Making sure you have someone who reflects your values is really important.

If you don't like China people, you have your guy, you know?

Right.

Right.

I mean, that guy, that is clear.

That much we know.

Yeah, that guy's

clear.

I can't imagine there's another person who's going to come out less pro-China people than Don Blank and Jim.

Yeah, I don't think so.

I don't think so.

That guy ran like the sixth largest coal company in America.

Now,

you may argue he didn't do it very well, and that's what the justice system argued.

He didn't run it really well.

That's why he ended up in prison.

It's like, I run a pool company.

Of course, I just electrocuted my family in the pool, but I still ran a pool company.

No.

Not really a good commercial.

But still, it's hard to imagine.

I mean, just...

Just by watching the commercial, it's hard to imagine how he could run a company of any sort.

I think we should start looking for the worst people, the worst candidates.

I think we should start, and he's hard to beat, but I think we should look for the worst candidates.

Now, that being said, I want to do a fair interview with Blake and Chip if he'd come on tomorrow.

I really want to know the China people.

Is that real?

I mean, is that real or is it?

Because if it's not real, that's a great ad.

Glenn, back,

Mercury.
