Speaker 0 Love. Courage.
Speaker 1 Truth.
Speaker 1 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 7 Side effects of Trump derangement syndrome include rage, inability to avoid the patriarchy, sensitivity to microaggressions, victims complex, inability to conduct reasonable conversations, blurred vision while shifting genders, bloating, chronic whining, preoccupation with defending minority cultures, hatred of men, susceptibility to mansplaining or man spreading, and denial.
Speaker 13 Call your doctor immediately if you experience chest pains, sudden pink hair, or thoughts of feminism.
Speaker 19 Sadly, today, what you're not going to hear on television is that the last time our unemployment rate was this low, we were counting Chads.
Speaker 24 It's 3.9%.
Speaker 28 You're not going to hear a lot of talk about that because that shows that cutting taxes actually works.
Speaker 11 Cutting regulations helps people get jobs.
Speaker 33 Sadly, I have to also report that Congressman Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from New York, has been showing signs of advancing Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 36 Yesterday, during an interview with CNN's Poppy Harlow and John Berman, Congressman Meeks displayed the unnerving symptoms of a contaminated patient.
Speaker 40 Most of all, he showed a profound sense of denial.
Speaker 8 This clip is fairly long, mostly because Representative Meeks does such a masterful, cringe-inducing job of caking his Trump hatred with passive voice and insinuation.
Speaker 47 His symptoms emerge in the form of an elaborate form of vocal and ideological gymnastics.
Speaker 29 Listen.
Speaker 49
No doubt everyone would welcome the return of these three American citizens. And let's hope that Rudy Giuliani is correct and that they're on their way home.
We just don't know if it happens.
Speaker 49 Does the president deserve credit?
Speaker 18 President Moon does of South Korea.
Speaker 49 Does President Trump deserve credit?
Speaker 50 Credit if these three Americans come home?
Speaker 51
I think that, number one, we want to make sure that they come home. And if anybody had anything to do with it, I'm happy.
I want our American citizens to come home.
Speaker 51 But when I look at the whole deal with North Korea, it seems to me that all of what was started was started with President Moon.
Speaker 51 And President Moon has been doing a lot of the negotiations and been talking to the North Koreans and talking to the Chinese behind the scenes and trying to work to make this happen because he knew when he heard President Trump say that President Trump would not go back to South Korea if he decided to attack North Korea.
Speaker 51 That's when the negotiations start taking place with North Korea. He left, he went to North Korea and started talking.
Speaker 49 President Moon said President Trump deserves a lot of credit.
Speaker 7 But you know,
Speaker 53 even in your interpretation of it, President Trump didn't get in the way.
Speaker 54 I mean, doesn't he deserve credit then for creating or being part of this atmosphere where these three Americans may come home and these talks might happen?
Speaker 51 I am glad that we get our American,
Speaker 51
if we get our American detainees home, it's a positive thing. And a number of individuals can take credit.
Is he one of them? But I am saying that
Speaker 51 if you talk about the whole North Korea South in peace, the reason why we are where we are is President Moon.
Speaker 49 It seems like you're doing everything you can to not say that the president deserves credit.
Speaker 38 Luckily, Trump derangement syndrome is treatable.
Speaker 3 There is a cure.
Speaker 6 Of course, there are many people who are just immune to the cure.
Speaker 33 They are incurable.
Speaker 6 But most people, however, with treatment can be saved.
Speaker 15 Ingredients for the cure include humanity, belief in others, logic, common sense, optimism.
Speaker 55 a little greater selflessness, personal responsibility, a recognition of facts, and critical reasoning of the average fourth grader.
Speaker 6 If you or a loved one is faced with someone who is stricken with the syndrome, stay calm. It's rarely contagious.
Speaker 21 Don't let their hysteria inflame your senses.
Speaker 6 It's what the patients want.
Speaker 38 Instead, show them your humanity, your kindness, your ability to be strong.
Speaker 18 Show them.
Speaker 6 your sympathy.
Speaker 23 And maybe, hopefully, they will see you.
Speaker 58 Once again, not as a video game villain, but as the person that you are.
Speaker 56 And they will recognize that with logic, they can be there and be healthy once again.
Speaker 1 It's Friday, May 4th. You're listening to the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 1 And every year, I take fruit of the loop.
Speaker 6 The man carefully sips his beer as he watches an underwear commercial.
Speaker 6 He laughs with a gravelly flatness when the actor's voices become high-pitched, and then he takes another sip.
Speaker 8 He sprawls back into the recliner,
Speaker 43 as if it's his.
Speaker 6
Comfortable in the bungalow overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Cockle Drive in Dana Point, California. The neighborhood is nice.
It's gated, security guard, a safe oceanside town in Orange County.
Speaker 6 The man looks like a suburbanite unwinding after a day's work, which is precisely the case.
Speaker 64 He served in the Navy, he fought in the Vietnam War, his wife is an attorney, and their three daughters have promising futures ahead of them.
Speaker 28 The man is a police officer, and by all accounts, there's no reason to believe otherwise.
Speaker 6 He sits there in the recliner and on the television. The nightly news on Tuesday, August 19, 1980 was as grim as ever.
Speaker 6 65 people died in Poland when a freight train collided with a nearby passenger train. Saudi Flight 163 caught fire after takeoff, and all 287 passengers and 14 crew members died.
Speaker 6 Maybe, as the man watches the news, he thinks about the Night Stalker, the serial rapist that had terrorized California. Each time he had claimed another victim, people rushed to buy guns.
Speaker 6 Many hardware stores sold out of locks.
Speaker 6 But it had been a while since he had struck.
Speaker 6 The man was so focused on television and lost in his thoughts that he was almost startled when Patty Harrington groaned from the floor, her hands bound behind her back with a brown macrame cord.
Speaker 6 The man enjoyed tightening the restraints
Speaker 6 until his victims couldn't hardly feel their hands. They would only feel a nagging pain.
Speaker 6 The man had somehow or another crept into this gated community unnoticed and then into the house.
Speaker 6 Patty was a pediatrics nurse, and her husband Keith didn't hear the man until he was in the room as they slept.
Speaker 6 There wasn't any forced entry.
Speaker 22 Keith was 24.
Speaker 6 He was just months away from completing med school at UC Irvine. And the Harringtons had only been married for three months.
Speaker 4 They were staying at a house which Keith's father owned temporarily.
Speaker 6 They had never even settled into the master bedroom.
Speaker 14 But when the man crept in,
Speaker 6 he forced Patty to tie Keith's hands together. He took Keith into the master bedroom, and then he took Patty into the living room and began raping her.
Speaker 6 He likely stacked plates on Keith's back and told him not to move because he'd hear it.
Speaker 29 He likely gloated about the rape.
Speaker 6 Currently, however, he was taking a bit of a break to watch just a little television with a beer.
Speaker 6 He would rape Patty in shifts, stopping occasionally to grab some crackers or something else from the cabinets. But he kept his gloves on the entire time.
Speaker 6 When he's finally done with Patty, he takes her into the master bedroom.
Speaker 6 He covered Keith with a blanket to avoid getting bloodstains on himself and then lands one swift blow to the back of Keith's head with a piece of lawn equipment.
Speaker 6 The man would not show Patty the same courtesy.
Speaker 6
Keith's father found the two bodies tucked into bed. They were both still wearing their nightclothes.
They had been dead for days by then.
Speaker 6 Keith's father recoiled, and then he lifted the blanket.
Speaker 6 Keith was purple with a gash on his head where the killer had hit him, but he had hardly lost any blood.
Speaker 6 Patty was not so lucky.
Speaker 6 She was caked in wood chips and blood. She was just in a mangled heap.
Speaker 6 The killer had beaten her savagely and then continued beating her well after she had died.
Speaker 6 It was clear they'd have been murdered for sport, for some cruel statistic ritual.
Speaker 6 This story, the Harrington story, is just one of the many harrowing, gruesome, heart-rendering tragedies that the Golden State killer caused.
Speaker 6 Between 1976 and 1986, he would commit at least 12 murders, at least 50 rapes, and 120 burglaries.
Speaker 39 For decades, he eluded and baffled police.
Speaker 6 He was always just one step ahead.
Speaker 9 In part because his M.O.
Speaker 70 was always changing.
Speaker 6 He raped, he killed, he burgled through cities and counties all throughout California, starting with Sacramento County and then down through Oakland and Santa Barbara and Orange counties.
Speaker 22 He had a sadistic career that lasted 12 years and terrorized California.
Speaker 6 The killer carefully plotted his break-ins and murders, often posing as a jogger. He studied his victims, their schedules, their habits meticulously.
Speaker 6 He delivered unnerving taunts to the press and to former victims.
Speaker 29 And then
Speaker 7 he disappeared.
Speaker 6 Was he dead?
Speaker 29 What had happened?
Speaker 33 Then, in late April 2018, police had a breakthrough in the case.
Speaker 11 They found a DNA match through a genealogy website.
Speaker 38 The suspect was Joseph D'Angelo.
Speaker 74 He was a 72-year-old guy.
Speaker 61 He owned a boat and a modest house.
Speaker 38 His neighbors have said that he was cantankerous and often would fly into a rage for no apparent reason, but none of them imagined that he might be capable of such heinous, sinister behavior.
Speaker 69 If D'Angelo was in fact the Golden State killer, it would mean that he would have raised a family in between the vicious rapes.
Speaker 6 It would mean that he was a police officer for much of the time of his rape and murder spree.
Speaker 6 Although he was fired for shoplifting before the rampage ended, no one knew.
Speaker 6 He took a warehouse job at a local grocery store where he worked as a truck mechanic for 27 years until his retirement was celebrated in 2017.
Speaker 6 One of his daughters and one of his grandchildren were living with him in the house at the time of the arrest.
Speaker 6 Dad,
Speaker 6 grandpa,
Speaker 29 what's going on?
Speaker 6 What must have been going through their mind when police swarmed his house to arrest him? He was inside building a table in his garage. He had a roast in the oven for dinner.
Speaker 6 They took him out. and bound his hands together behind his back.
Speaker 6 I'm I'm not sure if the handcuffs were so tight that he could no longer feel his hands.
Speaker 29 Just a nagging pain.
Speaker 6 The latest news story.
Speaker 3 The events that happened just last week, the
Speaker 11 Golden State killer
Speaker 7 has been found.
Speaker 31 I want to talk to you a little bit about our sponsor that's made this hour program of the program possible.

Speaker 80 Glenn Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 81 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 33 We're very excited about some of the things that are coming up on the program, not only today, but in the future.
Speaker 21 We hope you enjoyed the news story that we just did on the Golden State Killer, which is an incredible story.
Speaker 36 Not being from California, I don't remember the Golden State killer.
Speaker 21 I just remember there was a time period.
Speaker 36 I remember growing up with Ted Bundy.
Speaker 3 And he was, I think he was in the Pacific Northwest.
Speaker 36 And we had the Green River Killer.
Speaker 3 There was just like these serial killers that were all happening, it seemingly in the 70s.
Speaker 36 And I remember kind of being young and jumping out of the bushes to my sisters and going, It's Ted.
Speaker 29 So sadistic.
Speaker 31 Oh my gosh, they were sadistic to me, so don't even start.
Speaker 26 I was a younger brother, so they beat the snot out of me all the time until I got big enough.
Speaker 23 And the first thing I did was run out and go, it's Ted.
Speaker 33 Then I ran for my life.
Speaker 29 But anyway,
Speaker 64 really
Speaker 74 just an amazing story.
Speaker 70 And the guy goes back and just lives his life.
Speaker 42 The question is, did he believe he was going to get away with it?
Speaker 53 Well, he got away with it for over 30 years.
Speaker 65 I know.
Speaker 53
30 years. He stopped killing in 1986.
Although they are now looking back and trying to tie other unsolved murders to him. So we may have an increased number of
Speaker 7 murders pretty soon.
Speaker 32 Yeah, because he kept changing his M.O.
Speaker 33 He was smart. He was a cop.
Speaker 53 He was a cop, so he knew he knew how to do this. What was interesting was the way they found him is insane.
Speaker 53 This is only the second time it's ever happened where they've done this. They went, they had DNA from the deaths, and they went to a public DNA site.
Speaker 53 So they have this site, which I would describe kind of like a social media of DNA. And the idea is that you put...
Speaker 31 It's not like 23andMe.
Speaker 53 Well, no, it's kind of, no, it's kind of related. But if you put your DNA in there, you can look for relatives.
Speaker 53 It's sort of genealogy, sort of social network in a way, because you can search DNA patterns to find relatives you didn't know you had, which is an interesting site.
Speaker 58 You even put your DNA.
Speaker 83 I'm sorry, but I'm, I mean, I am,
Speaker 77 I remember when the evidence with O.J.
Speaker 62 Simpson, which was DNA, wasn't good enough.
Speaker 8 People are like, I don't understand.
Speaker 28 So I'm beyond that.
Speaker 17 But do you go to like 23andMe, get your DNA, and then
Speaker 29 upload that? That's how I would assume.
Speaker 86 I've never done the 23andMe thing.
Speaker 7 Does it sort and categorize and say, hey, these people are like your DNA?
Speaker 29 Yeah, like have your DNA?
Speaker 53 Links, right? So you can find, for example, a distant relative that you didn't know that you had.
Speaker 53 In this particular case, that's kind of what happened, is they went on to this free searchable site. They created a profile with this DNA profile and searched for similar DNA.
Speaker 53 What they found was not the killer who was dumb enough to put his own DNA on a public website.
Speaker 82 That's not what happened.
Speaker 53 They found a distant relative of of the killer. And from there, they were able to build out, I think it was 28 different family trees going back to the early 1800s
Speaker 53 and sort through all of them until they were able to lock down on this guy.
Speaker 14 Don't you love the fact that somebody thought to do this?
Speaker 31 And soon it will be done by artificial intelligence. Yeah.
Speaker 3 I mean, soon an artificial intelligence, you know, machine learning will just go, oh, well, we can find him this way.
Speaker 68 And it'll just, it'll do it in minutes.
Speaker 53 I mean, really, this is like, it's a weird idea, but at some point, it's almost like there will be
Speaker 19 i don't say no crime but no unsolved crime well it's it's this is i think as important as uh the fingerprint yeah it's that it's i mean
Speaker 11 you got to remember but people thought at the beginning they were like what do you mean fingerprints he's leaving his fingerprints and in the 1800s that and blood types those weren't used and so you couldn't solve anything and when somebody finally thought fingerprints let's let's look for fingerprints.
Speaker 11 They didn't have a record. They didn't have all the fingerprints.
Speaker 34 They started saving fingerprints, and that's how they started connecting things.
Speaker 14 This is the next step, but this is way ahead of fingerprints because DNA, you leave DNA all over when you commit a crime.
Speaker 82 It's very difficult to not do that.
Speaker 53 And so, you know, you think about, A, how amazing it is that they can solve this. And this is a great use.
Speaker 53 And we could all be really excited about the idea that they were able to capture this guy through amazing means, using genealogists and all sorts of different ways to go.
Speaker 53 The other side of it, though, is we are entering a phase in which you no longer control
Speaker 53 your own data, your own DNA, because it wasn't this guy who uploaded his own DNA. It was some relative he probably had never met in his life.
Speaker 53 And yet they were able to find him because of that. Now, in a crime, it's great, right? It worked really well, and they used totally, these are totally legal means.
Speaker 53
But, you know, we all think like we can control our data by saying, well, I'm not going to agree to that agreement. I'm not going to sign up to Facebook.
I'm not going to sign up to Twitter.
Speaker 53 Well, we're getting to a point where that doesn't matter because if someone you know has done it,
Speaker 53 all of these records wind up combining in one big sort of blender of data, and you can be tracked based on the people you know or you're related to or you've interacted with.
Speaker 53 And that is a totally different world. There's no way to control it under those guidelines.
Speaker 21 We have created one of the greatest things man has ever created and one of the most dangerous things man has ever created.
Speaker 88 There would be no Jews left.
Speaker 44 None.
Speaker 27 Today, if Hitler had the stuff that we have today
Speaker 25 and what's just over the horizon, I want to show you something that's happening in Apple.
Speaker 68 I'm sorry, not Apple, Amazon.
Speaker 9 And you're going to say, okay, well, I feel bad about that.
Speaker 19 Then I want to take you to China and tie the two together and ask you some serious questions of where are we headed and what is the difference.
Speaker 90 Glenn, back,
Speaker 81 Mercury.
Speaker 53
So there's 72,000 veterans organizations in America. They serve the best of the best, but none of these organizations help pay for funerals for our servicemen.
The average funeral costs $6,000.
Speaker 53
And honestly, that seems pretty low to me at this point. The government only covers $300.
And if you are a mathematician like I am, you know that's about 5% of the cost.
Speaker 53
That's completely unacceptable for our heroes. That's where dog tag furniture comes in.
They've taken the initiative. They've stepped out and decided to do something about this.
Speaker 53 And they make this really cool American flag art that you can put really in any room in your home. It's going to look beautiful.
Speaker 53
If you've seen it on the Blaze, you know what I'm talking talking about. And they also have cool other gear.
But honestly, you can make a donation there as well.

Speaker 29 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 91 A very positive jobs report.
Speaker 65 We are at 3.4, 9, 9, 3.9%.
Speaker 76 The last time that we have had that unemployment rate, we were counting Chads.
Speaker 3 It's been 18 years since we have had that unemployment rate.
Speaker 53 Yeah, December 2000.
Speaker 29 That's
Speaker 29 remarkable.
Speaker 53 That's back before the show was national.
Speaker 53
We had just gone through the 2000 election. We're counting Chad's.
Maybe the election isn't actually officially decided.
Speaker 29 No September 11th, no war.
Speaker 53
All of it. I mean, it goes back a long, long way.
And
Speaker 53 it's pretty much
Speaker 53 the jobs created weren't quite as high as they were expecting, which is why the market isn't particularly reacting well to it.
Speaker 53 That and the wages, they're not seeing wage growth, which they would have expected in a job market this way.
Speaker 18 To see wage growth.
Speaker 53
This is interesting because no one says that. I've heard you say that many, many times.
Nobody in the,
Speaker 53
when it comes from the analyst's side, says this. What they say is, it's going to come.
It always comes.
Speaker 53
And I keep thinking to myself, Glenn keeps saying that it's not going to come because of automation. Yes.
and we're not going to see the that rise you're not it's the the the
Speaker 59 actual workers are going to become less and less valuable uh and and this goes to even people like me i mean you will be able to in 10 years be able to digitize my thinking digitize my voice everything and it will come up with through ai Perhaps with better things than I can come up with.
Speaker 15 It's art.
Speaker 3 It's stories.
Speaker 8 It's, of course, auto manufacturing.
Speaker 93 It's all of it.
Speaker 29 It's all of it.
Speaker 53 Yeah, and it's pretty amazing. You know, you will hear
Speaker 53 as well that the economy was doing pretty well before Trump took office. And so, you know, to prepare you, because I think Trump deserves a lot of credit here.
Speaker 53 You know, this is a good day for Trump. When you have the North Korea stuff, which seems to be advancing very well,
Speaker 53 the, you know, the, it looks like the prisoners, we've got.
Speaker 42 If somebody would have taken his Twitter away,
Speaker 68 his popularity rate would be well into the 60s, I think.
Speaker 55 If he didn't have Twitter.
Speaker 53 It's certainly not helping him.
Speaker 53 I don't think there's any argument to say that it's helping him at this point.
Speaker 53 But I mean, it helped him, you could say, I think, break through the primary group, right? Because it brought so much attention to him.
Speaker 29 I will tell you, I can't imagine it's helping him now.
Speaker 31 I think it did help, though. You know, I say that because I see all the trouble he causes himself.
Speaker 36 But then again,
Speaker 25 Some of that trouble has been, yay, short little fat man.
Speaker 35 And that's probably what helped break through in North Korea was that guy's, these nuts.
Speaker 15 Really, I heard him.
Speaker 8 He's not like a normal president.
Speaker 38 We better change our behavior.
Speaker 53 We had Ian Bremer on, was it early this week or last week? He wrote a new book, and he's, I think, a really interesting commentator on these matters because he's not hardcore conservative.
Speaker 53
He is not hardcore liberal. Like, he comes out, I think, is trying to call balls and strikes.
And he is the only one.
Speaker 53 He keeps going on CNN, and they don't know what to do with him because he keeps saying, hey, Trump, Trump is the only president that could have done this with North Korea.
Speaker 53 He's the only president who could have done it. And his answer, when they asked why, what's your answer? It's risk aversion.
Speaker 53 You know, both Bush and Obama didn't want to risk the negative potential consequences of this sort of approach, which is, you know, beating up on China and talking tough and all of those things.
Speaker 53 Now, it does, I think, Trump's approach does increase the chances of a real
Speaker 20 war breaking out.
Speaker 53 On the other side, it definitely increases the chances even more of actual peace breaking out.
Speaker 29 Peace through strength.
Speaker 53 Right, and this is why the guy got elected, right?
Speaker 50 I think that's why.
Speaker 53 The jobs thing is similar.
Speaker 53 I mean, I think you'll see, if you happen to be touting the job numbers to your friends, you will likely see that they will quote to you the Obama job numbers from his last...
Speaker 53 15 months in office, which are actually on average better than the first 15 months of Trump.
Speaker 53 So just know that when you go into any argument today about that, I think the real answer for that is that it's harder to gain jobs and grow an economy when you're at almost full employment.
Speaker 53 I mean, you know, if you think about who is, is it easier for Michael Moore to lose weight or is it easier for
Speaker 53 Brad Pitt to lose weight? It's easier for Michael Moore.
Speaker 53 right if he if he just you know stops eating he's going to lose weight really fast and that's what happened throughout the obama administration the job numbers came quicker than they are now but the fact that it's harder for trump to go it's harder to go from four percent to two than it is from 6% to 4%.
Speaker 53 But I mean, these are good numbers, and it's pretty encouraging.
Speaker 8 I will also say it is harder to go
Speaker 2 down from here because jobs,
Speaker 42 we are not, China is not our enemy on jobs.
Speaker 14 They're not taking jobs from us in the future.
Speaker 8 It's just not happening.
Speaker 25 In fact, they're going to be taking jobs
Speaker 18 from themselves soon because of manufacturing going all digital and automated and AI.
Speaker 97 At the same time, and I don't think these stories are unrelated, at the same time that Seattle is pushing, you know, for their $15 minimum wage and coming after Amazon and saying, we want a headcount and a $526 tax every year on every person you employ, an additional Seattle tax.
Speaker 12 And it'll cost Amazon over $20 million every year.
Speaker 3 And they're saying, well, you can afford it.
Speaker 29 And you're just bad anyway.
Speaker 98 You employ 40,000 people.
Speaker 73 At the same time, a story comes out that talks about how bad it is to work for Amazon.
Speaker 70 Now, I want you to listen to this, but I want you to listen to this story with the mindset of jobs are going to become more and more scarce.
Speaker 86 Jobs are going to be automated more and more.
Speaker 77 And look at your life in your place of business.
Speaker 35 You know, no matter where you are,
Speaker 74 there's at least 10 to 20%,
Speaker 44 probably 10, 10%
Speaker 94 of everybody's place of business where the people are like, you're like, that person screws off all the time.
Speaker 63 They're always on the phone. They're always just talking.
Speaker 11 They're goofing around.
Speaker 33 They don't do it, right?
Speaker 96 Every job you've ever had.
Speaker 36 Now listen to this story and tell me, because you're going to be, I think, conflicted in this.
Speaker 73 Former Amazon warehouse worker described being stopped in his tracks by an awful smell emanating from the trash trash cans.
Speaker 12 The stench, he said, was unmistakable and led him to one conclusion.
Speaker 87 His co-workers were so worried about taking too long on a bathroom break that they had to resort to urinating in the garbage cans.
Speaker 76 Okay.
Speaker 41 It doesn't say that that is what it is.
Speaker 56 It said it's his conclusion that they were so worried about their bathroom break.
Speaker 35 Well, there's also another one.
Speaker 73 I think I've worked around some people that probably would pee in a garbage can if it just saved them extra steps.
Speaker 31 Is that a possibility?
Speaker 12 I never witnessed anyone in the act.
Speaker 73 I just witnessed the aftermath.
Speaker 11 In three instances, three,
Speaker 19 I felt I noticed an awful smell and pinpointed,
Speaker 31 I have pinpointed the location, the trash bins that are scattered throughout the multi-tiered mezzanine, and I reported it.
Speaker 53 Never has there been a trash can that smelled bad in any other circumstance.
Speaker 27 They said they found a bottle of urine on a shelf, saying that people would do so because they feared that the bathroom break would take too long and cause them to miss their strict targets.
Speaker 19 Since publishing Bloodworth's story last month, more than 30 people who say they've worked for Amazon in the U.S., the UK, and Germany.
Speaker 102 So more than
Speaker 8 30 people
Speaker 62 in three major countries
Speaker 3 have contacted a business insider with stories of working in an Amazon warehouse.
Speaker 100 They verified some of their accounts through through employment documentation and interviews.
Speaker 84 The warehouse employees paint a picture of constant surveillance and a crippling fear of missing targets.
Speaker 43 Okay,
Speaker 8 I just want you to know, 30 people out of a workforce of how many?
Speaker 5 There's Seattle has 40,000.
Speaker 41 Do you think between the US, the UK, and Germany, you can find 30 people who were like, oh my gosh, it was they were slave drivers or have an axe, of course.
Speaker 7 Okay, so they talk about the efficiency is the beating heart of Amazon.
Speaker 85 And they have
Speaker 31 they have the, yes, they have these pickers where thousands of employees pick products off shelves, pack them in the right boxes, and get them to customers.
Speaker 27 But that efficiency comes at a cost, these employees say.
Speaker 25 The pickers move around warehouses on predetermined routes to collect items for delivery, scanning each one with a handheld scanner, which at times the length between scans, employees say the pickers must hit a certain number of scans per hour.
Speaker 31 And if they miss their targets, a manager shows up to see what they're doing.
Speaker 27 Employees say that spending time talking to coworkers,
Speaker 76 getting time to go get a drink, or taking too long to find a package or build is time off task.
Speaker 25 Too much, which leads to a penalty point for an employee. Get enough of those and you're fired.
Speaker 53 That seems like a completely rational system.
Speaker 53 You're not being being paid to talk to other employees.
Speaker 53 If you take a break, you're not going to get in trouble unless you take too long, and it has to happen multiple times before you're even talked to.
Speaker 45 You have to have, I think, four points taken from you.
Speaker 36 Then you meet with a manager.
Speaker 83 And then you have another chance.
Speaker 11 You get four points.
Speaker 92 You have to meet with a manager.
Speaker 101 Then you have another chance.
Speaker 3 You have four points and you meet with a manager and you're fired.
Speaker 104 I mean, they give you 12 opportunities.
Speaker 53 And again, like that, what you're describing, if accurate, sounds a little cold, but it's not their, that's not their job.
Speaker 4 Here is the line that jumped out to me.
Speaker 70 When there is pick-to-pick, this means employees have 15-minute breaks between picks.
Speaker 31 Essentially, your two 15-minute breaks are in standard 10-hour shift.
Speaker 21 They're actually two 10-minute breaks because of the time he gets to the break room or the toilet seats eats up at least five minutes.
Speaker 63 He said, being a picker, moving around the warehouse to retrieve items for packaging,
Speaker 77 it makes the employee feel like a robot.
Speaker 53 Uh-oh, don't say it. Don't bring that up.
Speaker 29 Don't use the word robot.
Speaker 29 You might exist.
Speaker 82 This should be your quote.
Speaker 29 You might feel like a robot, but at least it's not a robot that has your job.
Speaker 72 And the more we're we're entering a really weird place because China, they do look at people like robots.
Speaker 13 And they are now doing brain scans. You think it's bad at Amazon?
Speaker 85 They're now doing brain scans.
Speaker 89 They put a chip in a hat or a cap that every employee has to wear.
Speaker 83 And if you are
Speaker 31 depressed, suicidal,
Speaker 31 not focused, the brain scan through an algorithm goes to the boss and the boss says they're not focused.
Speaker 34 The boss comes down and says, pay attention, man, pay attention.
Speaker 85 They come down a couple of times. They move you.
Speaker 89 One time, they move you to another place.
Speaker 99 The second time, go home.
Speaker 12 Now, they said, oh, the people thought that was a little intrusive and felt it was a little insensitive, but they got used to it.
Speaker 95 There's a balance here.
Speaker 38 The world is changing.
Speaker 41 And what is it we're going to do?
Speaker 77 With that being said, it is why we must, and universal basic income is not the answer but I don't know what is the answer but in the next 10 to 12 years we're going to need an answer because more and more people this the jobs at 3.9
Speaker 75 that's the opposite of what the people in silicon valley are thinking they're thinking if we could just get the the jobs at 56.1
Speaker 74 percent of unemployment yeah if we could have you know 96.1 unemployment, how great would that be?
Speaker 45 Because nobody would have to work.
Speaker 4 That's what Silicon Valley and technology is driving for.
Speaker 70 So that leaves the question, A, where do you get money?
Speaker 29 B,
Speaker 58 where do you find meaning?
Speaker 39 Those are two questions that have to be answered by society.
Speaker 100 The first one will be answered by all of us, I hope.
Speaker 28 The second one has to be answered by each of us individually, and we better start finding the answer to that right now.
Speaker 15 I want to tell you about filter buying.
Speaker 26 If you live in a place where allergies are bad, holy cow.
Speaker 3 Let me introduce you to Texas.
Speaker 20 Do you have allergies?
Speaker 53 I absolutely do. And I get hit with them usually early part of the year, every single year here.
Speaker 7 And it's really rough.
Speaker 52 I mean, I've lived all over the country and I have bad allergies.
Speaker 14 I've never lived in a place like Texas.
Speaker 62 It is non-stop bad.
Speaker 11 And if you don't change your filters, your air filters, a couple of things happen.
Speaker 14 Everybody in your house suffers or everybody at your job suffers.
Speaker 34 And so does the HVAC system.
Speaker 32 You got to change the filters because they get clogged with so much crap.
Speaker 53 That's one of those things, though.
Speaker 53 You change your filters, and as you're walking away, throwing the old filter away, you think, you know, if I'm going to do this every whatever it is, three or six months this time, this time I'm going to do it.
Speaker 53 And then you remember again and you look at it and they're pure black because you haven't changed them in two and a half years.
Speaker 82 That's kind of me. Yeah, that's absolutely me.
Speaker 25 I would, I mean, my HVAC system would catch on fire and I'd be like, what the hell is happening?
Speaker 29 This is the third one in 10 years. These air conditioning companies.
Speaker 15 And then they just come with you to the black filter and like, ah, dude.
Speaker 11 So anyway, if you're like that,
Speaker 52 there's a great way to buy filters.
Speaker 32 It's Filter Buy, America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses.
Speaker 89 They make it really easy for you to improve the quality of the air you breathe, plus reduce the wear and tear on your HVAC system.
Speaker 102 All of them built here in America and shipped for free within 24 hours.
Speaker 3 You can also set up auto delivery and save 5% by doing that.
Speaker 36 If you'd like to, you're never going to need a reminder again.
Speaker 71 Here it is:
Speaker 96 it's Filter Buy.
Speaker 19 Go there now.
Speaker 3 They have 600 different sizes available.
Speaker 14 They'll make them custom for you if that's what you need.

Speaker 29 Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 29 Glenn back.
Speaker 3 Hats off to Springfield Armory. I'm going to give the full story on this later, a little later on in the program, but Springfield Armory has just released this statement.
Speaker 38 They are severing ties with Dick's Sporting Goods and Field and Stream in response to their hiring a group of anti-Second Amendment lobbying firms.
Speaker 37 This latest action follows Dick's Sporting Goods' decision to remove and destroy all modern sporting rifles from their inventory.
Speaker 21 In addition, they have denied Second Amendment rights to Americans under the age of 21.
Speaker 3 We at Springfield Armory believe that all law-abiding citizens of adult age are guaranteed this sacred right under our Constitution.
Speaker 73 I have to tell you, if all of the gun manufacturers said to Dick's Sporting Goods, oh, really?
Speaker 97 I don't want to sell to you.
Speaker 100 I think that would probably be a smart thing.
Speaker 53 It might, although then it makes guns less accessible, which I don't know if that's necessarily something that, you know, for the sake of the game.
Speaker 21 Yeah, well, I would like to point out that there was a study done on Dicks, and no matter what they say,
Speaker 21 the studies are showing that they're still selling. the modern sporting rifle, the AR.
Speaker 22 They're still selling them.
Speaker 75 They're just claiming they're not.
Speaker 21 They're getting rid of their inventory before they melt the rest of them down.
Speaker 81 Mercury.
Speaker 81 Love. Courage.
Speaker 1 Truth.
Speaker 81 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 3 Have you recently sent your son or daughter off to college?
Speaker 38 Have you noticed any changes in them at all?
Speaker 93 Maybe they used to be staunchly pro-life, but now they're kind of unsure.
Speaker 29 Maybe they weren't political at all, but now they're coming home and they're like, eh, you know, mom and dad, I think I'm kind of political now.
Speaker 48 Just maybe a little bit.
Speaker 32 Coming home on Thanksgiving and debating climate change, social justice, universal health care.
Speaker 11 As it turns out, there seems to be a pretty good reason for this.
Speaker 3 Our children, hear me out, this is crazy, are being indoctrinated and we are paying tens of thousands of dollars to allow them to do it to our children.
Speaker 93 If you're signing a check for your children's college tuition, sit down before you hear these statistics because you might pass out.
Speaker 5 If you're driving, just pull over to the side of the road.
Speaker 27 There's a new study published by the National Association of Scholars.
Speaker 3 Now we knew things were bad in college and universities, right?
Speaker 27 Did you know it was this bad?
Speaker 30 New study published by the National Association of Scholars looked at nearly 9,000 professors at 51 of the 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S.
Speaker 38 And they found political bias on campuses is not a rumor or conspiracy.
Speaker 96 It's hard fact.
Speaker 102 And the numbers are insane.
Speaker 41 If you remove the two military colleges from the study, the ratio of Democrats to professors, Republican professors, is
Speaker 48 12.7
Speaker 29 to 1.
Speaker 53 Wait, wait, so the amount of a Republican or Democrat
Speaker 95 13 Democrats,
Speaker 12 if you can even call them Democrats, I'd like to see how many are Democratic socialists.
Speaker 65 13 to every one Republican.
Speaker 46 Oh my gosh.
Speaker 52 40% of the colleges had zero Republicans on staff.
Speaker 53 40%.
Speaker 53 Oh, my God.
Speaker 29 80, 80%
Speaker 62 had so few Republican staff members that they found it statistically insignificant.
Speaker 98 So 40%
Speaker 67 had none.
Speaker 62 80% had such a low number, it was statistically insignificant.
Speaker 34 Now, this has been building for decades.
Speaker 31 The study found in 1984, 1984, 39% of college professors described themselves as left-leaning.
Speaker 72 By 99, it was 72.
Speaker 41 Today, it's an all-out dumpster fire.
Speaker 17 There's nobody with a different point of view.
Speaker 41 The numbers look even worse when you break it down by academic field.
Speaker 103 You want to know how the leftists are so effective in rewriting history?
Speaker 41 Maybe due to the fact that every one, every single,
Speaker 28 every single one Republican history professors, for every one, there are 17.4 Democrats.
Speaker 28 17 to 1.
Speaker 48 Your child in English major?
Speaker 103 If so, there are 48.3 Democratic professors for every one Republican, and it goes downhill from there.
Speaker 91 The field with the scariest liberal to conservative ratio shouldn't be a surprise at all, anyone who watches or reads the news.
Speaker 7 Listen to this.
Speaker 103 Out of nearly 9,000 professors and 51 51 of the top-rated schools, the number of Democrat to Republican communications facility members, not professors, communication facility members
Speaker 62 is 108
Speaker 96 to 0.
Speaker 27 Why do you think our media is unbalanced?
Speaker 84 The number of conservative communications professors is zero.
Speaker 96 Zero.
Speaker 4 So if you think the bias in the media is bad now, you haven't seen anything yet.
Speaker 97 And I just want to just ask you a quick question.
Speaker 62 Why are we all still signing those checks?
Speaker 84 That next tuition check.
Speaker 59 Why are we writing that?
Speaker 1 It's Friday, May 4th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 25 By the way, before we get to Bill O'Reilly, let me just remind you about our internship program for students that are 18 to 24 years old.
Speaker 97 And we have had, we've actually had people who are out of college and are now teachers join us in our first year last year.
Speaker 74 We're having a two-week study course about the founding, the founding documents.
Speaker 21 David Barton leads this along with his son.
Speaker 38 You have actual hands-on experience.
Speaker 19 with the founding documents and the letters between the founders.
Speaker 3 It is an it's an eye-opening experience. It's a leadership program.
Speaker 53 It's called the Student Leadership Training Program.
Speaker 53 There's three sessions that run between May and July. If you go to mercury1.org slash LTP, leadership training program, you can find out all the details.
Speaker 26 Yeah, find out the details and make sure you join us this summer.
Speaker 68 It is, it's, it's eye-opening.
Speaker 91 And the stories we're getting back from the people who are going back to college, one of them is actually teaching their college professor about the history of America because she wrote a paper and he was like, where did you get any of these facts?
Speaker 42 And he's open-minded enough where he's like, I didn't know any of this.
Speaker 33 So please join us, mercury1.org slash LTP.
Speaker 21 They're two-week sessions and you can find out all the details there.
Speaker 68 By the way, we don't accept everybody.
Speaker 97 Your kids or whoever is going to have to, they're going to have to go through
Speaker 33 a rigorous interview.
Speaker 53 And whites need not apply, just so we can get that out there.
Speaker 36
Yeah, and men. Men and whites.
Men and whites.
Speaker 15 Or everybody could apply.
Speaker 7 That's just the way it is.
Speaker 68 We'll judge you on the content of your character.
Speaker 8 Welcome to the program, Mr.
Speaker 15 Bill O'Reilly. How are you, sir?
Speaker 108 Well, I hope you're using Killing England as a textbook in there.
Speaker 29 Yeah.
Speaker 29 Yeah, Back.
Speaker 53 Maybe Killing the SS when it comes out.
Speaker 60 Maybe. Maybe.
Speaker 28 Yeah, Killing the SS.
Speaker 104 Maybe.
Speaker 108 I'm telling you, Killing England has got these urchins pointed in the right direction.
Speaker 84 So when are you, when is Killing the SS coming out?
Speaker 108 September 18th. Oh, okay.
Speaker 36 Well, remind me then.
Speaker 108 And, you know, no, we're going to send you
Speaker 108 a large print galley.
Speaker 29 You're such a jerk.
Speaker 55 Does a magnifying glass come without?
Speaker 29 All right. So, so, Bill,
Speaker 98 the jobs numbers today, 3.9%.
Speaker 31 Yeah.
Speaker 104 I haven't seen that really covered very much.
Speaker 11 There's still, you know, Giuliani throwing Trump's legal team into disarrays on CNN right now.
Speaker 108 Yeah, the reason it went down from 4% to 3.9 is that Stormy Daniels is now on the road
Speaker 29 doing that arrays.
Speaker 108 That dropped it down at 3.9.
Speaker 41 So,
Speaker 31 what do you think about the Cohen story this week with Stormy Daniels and Giuliani coming out
Speaker 21 and the press saying he made a horrible mistake?
Speaker 58 This was a brilliant move by Giuliani.
Speaker 108 Well, I don't know about that, but
Speaker 108 as you know, because you study our analysis on billoreilly.com, the reason Giuliani did this was because of the raid on Michael Cohen's office.
Speaker 108 In that raid, they took off all his documents, which clearly show that Cohen wrote a check for $130,000 to Stormy Daniels. So that story was going to come out.
Speaker 108
The president knew it. Giuliani, who's the new head lawyer, knew it.
So they said, look, we got to get out in front of this. We got to say this.
We can't allow
Speaker 108 a leak and all this business. So that's why Giuliani went on Hannity
Speaker 108 in a number of ways. I mean, his main focus was to demonize James Comey, but the secondary focus was to say, yeah, she got paid out of retainer funds.
Speaker 36 Bill, because I know you keep up with my commentary at GlennBeck.com.
Speaker 2 So you know that one of the main things that this did was, and I don't think this is inconsequential, is it took the liability off of Cohen because Cohen was in trouble.
Speaker 28 And this said, no, no, no, he didn't, I paid him back.
Speaker 12 So it wasn't campaign finance.
Speaker 42 It wasn't any of those things. So it really wasn't
Speaker 23 an olive branch saying, hey, stick with us.
Speaker 108 Maybe, but I think the more important thing was they wanted to define it that it was paid by, this is the key, retainer funds.
Speaker 108 When you hire an attorney, the attorney says, look, I want your house, your boat, your car, and your...
Speaker 108
third child, and then I'll take on the case. So you have to give them money up front.
That's a retainer.
Speaker 108 So Cohen was getting, I think, a monthly retainer from Trump, and he used this, according to Giuliani, some of that money to get Stormy Daniels off the radar screen.
Speaker 108 The story is basically that Stormy Daniels alleges a one-night stand with Trump way back, you know, 12, 13 years ago, and she wanted money to shut up.
Speaker 108 All right, that's blackmail, that's extortion, media doesn't care about that. And they gave her a little bit of money because it was coming close to the presidential election.
Speaker 108
They didn't want this woman running around with her attorney. So that's what happened.
So the voter can decide for his or herself whether that's a worthy thing to do, you know, whatever.
Speaker 108
But the press is using this, obviously, to say, well, Trump said he didn't know anything about the payments. He's a liar.
And Sarah Sanders is a liar. Everybody's a liar.
Speaker 29 You know,
Speaker 29 as usual.
Speaker 11 Bill, I can't tell you.
Speaker 27 This is almost, in many ways, the same story as the Clinton thing.
Speaker 39 He, you know, Clinton came out, he lied about the affair.
Speaker 63 Then it came out that he was lying.
Speaker 3 Then he said, well, I was only, it was a personal thing.
Speaker 12 I was only trying to save my wife.
Speaker 28 I mean, Donald Trump can say the same thing here.
Speaker 17 And, you know, half of the country is going to care, but that was the half that didn't care under Clinton.
Speaker 77 And the other half is not going to care.
Speaker 11 And they were the half that did care.
Speaker 29 So, I mean,
Speaker 99 it's going to have the same outcome, is it not?
Speaker 108 Well, I don't know about the outcome, but there's a difference between, because Clinton's actions toward Monica Lewinsky was when he was in the Oval Office, when he was in the White House, and Trump was way, way back when he was a builder and had no political aspirations.
Speaker 33 And he also lied under oath, where Trump did not lie under oath.
Speaker 108 Not yet. I mean, because that's what the Mueller thing is all about, the perjury trap.
Speaker 108 It's look,
Speaker 108 what bothers me about all this is that the country is is being damaged by somebody like Stormy Daniels and her attorney.
Speaker 108 And I think the President has to understand that, look, this is hurting the country.
Speaker 108 It's not about you anymore. It's about us.
Speaker 108 And because you've got North Korea, you've got Iran, you've got the this hurts the stock market every day. The stock market now wobbles because they don't know what's going to happen to the President.
Speaker 108 And so the stock market, which which should be stable and growing, is now wobbling, and that hurts everybody who holds equities.
Speaker 108 So it's now becoming something that I think the president's going to have to say, enough, enough. I'm going to answer the questions the way I believe they should be answered.
Speaker 108 As I said, I would never in a million years.
Speaker 108
go in under oath with Robert Mueller. In a million years, I would never do that.
Because I know Trump. Trump doesn't remember from one week to the next what's happening.
He just doesn't remember.
Speaker 108 It is impossible for him to answer these questions.
Speaker 108
His attention span is short. He's not the guy that writes in a diary.
He doesn't remember, but he'll say anything that comes into his mind.
Speaker 85 It's a, no, no, I know.
Speaker 3 It's an interesting place to be.
Speaker 52 Okay, when we come back, because you are in New York, I want to talk to you a little bit about what the governor of New York has done with the NRA and the financial district.
Speaker 63 It's phenomenal.

Speaker 80 Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 29 Glenn back.
Speaker 21 The president is Dallas today to speak at the NRA convention. We're pleased to have the NRA here in the great state of Texas.
Speaker 2 Bill, he just spoke before he got on to Marine One, and he said
Speaker 10 Rudy Giuliani is a good guy, but he'll get his facts straight, which is kind of an interesting turn.
Speaker 26 He said also that they will fight this if there's a subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 21 And they are not, they just took your advice.
Speaker 63 They are not going to testify.
Speaker 63 Well, it's a smart play.
Speaker 108 The Giuliani remark was he's insinuating that Giuliani did not have his facts straight when he talked to Hannity. Is that what you took out of that?
Speaker 26 That's what I took out of it.
Speaker 27 I don't have the full context of it yet, but he did say he's a great guy.
Speaker 36 And
Speaker 53 he just started yesterday.
Speaker 5 He'll get his facts straight.
Speaker 2 He'll get his facts straight.
Speaker 108 All right. So they're trying to spin whatever damage they think they've
Speaker 108 incurred here.
Speaker 108 Look, I just wrote a message the day for billorilly.com, and it's a pretty simple message, and it was written for the executive branch.
Speaker 21 Just tell the truth, you know, even if it's painful.
Speaker 29 Yes.
Speaker 108
Because you can't keep this chaos up. The strategy now that people should understand is to wear Trump down so he cracks.
All right. Wear him down
Speaker 108
and every day have some other mini scandal. Every day impugn his honesty or whatever you want to do.
This is the media strategy.
Speaker 29 All right.
Speaker 108 And so you make it impossible for him to focus on the governance and you psychologically damage him so that he's just crazed. I mean, I don't think people understand, Beck.
Speaker 108 You and I, of course, do, because we've been in the eye of the storm for many years.
Speaker 108 The toll it takes on people people like Sean Hannity to be called a slum lord,
Speaker 108 people like me to be accused of things that I didn't do, people like you to be boycotted or whatever. It takes a psychological toll.
Speaker 108 It's not like you can just go out to 7-Eleven and say, I don't give a flip, okay? Especially when it's organized and
Speaker 108 it's hateful and it hurts your children and your friends.
Speaker 29 I think it took 10 years.
Speaker 3 I think it took 10 years off my life.
Speaker 33 I really do.
Speaker 21 I look at myself in the mirror today and I'm not the same man.
Speaker 108 And that,
Speaker 108 well, and but that's a good thing, Bec, that you're not the same guy.
Speaker 29 Anyway.
Speaker 23 Yeah, it does.
Speaker 8 Okay, so but but but
Speaker 74 so so everybody knows that.
Speaker 88 We know what the media is is doing
Speaker 85 and we see how many times the media has been wrong.
Speaker 3 I've got a I've got a whole list of all the things the media has gotten wrong and proclaimed this is the end of drop because this, and they were wrong about it and had to go back and correct it.
Speaker 29 They don't care.
Speaker 8 Right. They don't care.
Speaker 8 So, but wait a minute.
Speaker 46 Hang on just a second.
Speaker 30 So how is this?
Speaker 3 How do you think this will play out with the average person?
Speaker 11 Because I think the average person, they bought in, if you bought into Donald Trump, you know, okay, that's the kind of guy he is.
Speaker 8 Okay. The Stormy Daniels thing.
Speaker 83 If it happened, it happened.
Speaker 27 If it didn't, it didn't.
Speaker 3 That's already baked into the price of Donald Trump.
Speaker 76 And for him to lie about it, if he is indeed lying about it, if he was lying about it and it comes out that he was lying, he's causing his own issues here.
Speaker 8 He can just move on.
Speaker 108 That's the message of the day on billorilly.com. Look,
Speaker 108
if you pay, look, there's no question she got paid. Right.
Right? So that you gave her money because you didn't want four days before the election.
Speaker 108
And this woman timed it because that's what extortionists and blackmailers do. I'm not saying that she's won.
I don't want to be hauled into court by her lawyer.
Speaker 108 But I'm just saying that the timing of these kinds of accusations was not coincidental.
Speaker 29 Yes. Right.
Speaker 108
So, you know, I want to be clear, not calling her a blackmailer or extortionist. I'm saying that this happens all the time to powerful and prosperous people in America.
All the time.
Speaker 108 All right.
Speaker 108 So
Speaker 108 with Trump, he's just got to basically sit down with Giuliani and his other counsel, and he's got to prepare a statement that's true.
Speaker 108
And that's it. And you're right.
His base isn't going to flee him because of this. All right.
They're not. Just like Nixon's base wouldn't have fled him on the Watergate thing.
Speaker 5 Yes. All right.
Speaker 108
But you get deeper and deeper and deeper. And now you have an organized media that is devoted to destroying you.
So know that. And
Speaker 108 your only defense is the truth, even if if it hurts.
Speaker 21 Will it, if it goes through, goes all the way to the Supreme Court, and then he does have to admit it, if indeed it is true, I'm not saying that it is at this point, but if it is true, he goes all the way, he fights it.
Speaker 74 Do you think that even shakes his base at all?
Speaker 108 No.
Speaker 8 Yeah, I don't think so either.
Speaker 108 I think if he explains that I can't possibly remember
Speaker 108 all the things that Robert Mueller, we don't know where he's going to go. We don't know what Mike Flynn has said to him.
Speaker 108
We don't know any of this. And I can't get in a position where I'm grasping for things that I'm not sure about.
Yeah. Okay.
So I will answer written questions. That's what you do.
Speaker 39 BillO'Reilly.com.
Speaker 25 As we continue with Bill O'Reilly, we'll talk a little bit about the NRA and the state of New York.
Speaker 29 Next.
Speaker 90 Glenn, back.
Speaker 81 Mercury.
Speaker 53 So by now, you probably know the drill. You want to sell your house, you bump into someone that you knew from 10 years ago.
Speaker 53 It's like a Ned Ryerson character from Groundhog Day, and they say, oh, Ned Ryerson, I'm a real estate agent now. Remember me?
Speaker 53 And you go through that whole process where this person you didn't even like back then is now your real estate agent, seemingly for life. It's not a good way to do business.
Speaker 53 If you need to sell your house fast and for the most money, the place to go is realestateagentsitrust.com. It's a service that takes away the guesswork.

If you need to sell your house fast and for the most money, it's realestate agentitrust.com.
Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 15 From New York State, from dfs.ny.gov, Department of Financial Services press release: Governor Cuomo directs the Department of Financial Services to urge companies to weigh reputational risks of business ties to the NRA and similar organizations.
Speaker 3 New York may have the strongest gun laws in the country, but we must push further to ensure that gun safety is a top priority for every individual company and organization that does business across the state.
Speaker 84 Therefore, I am directing the Department of Financial Services to urge insurers and bankers statewide to determine whether any relationship that they may have with the NRA or similar organizations sends the wrong message to their clients and their communities, who often look to them for guidance and support.
Speaker 25 This is not just a matter of reputation, it's a matter of public safety working together, and we can put an end to gun violence in New York for once once and for all.
Speaker 55 DFS is encouraging regulated entities to consider reputational risk and promote corporate responsibility in an effort to encourage strong markets and protect consumers.
Speaker 36 Now, this has already been taken by MetLife and Chubb.
Speaker 31 Chubb just got rid of its discounted program on concealed carry insurance.
Speaker 36 We also know that Bank of America and Citigroup have already kow-towed and they have started to change their relationship.
Speaker 2 Bank of America said no
Speaker 3 financial services to gun manufacturers or gun sellers that make high-capacity magazines or guns that fire high-capacity magazines, including semi-automatic handguns that
Speaker 63 can hold more than 10 rounds.
Speaker 29 Bill.
Speaker 56 Yes. This is just a way to get around the constitutional argument.
Speaker 32 This is totalitarian government
Speaker 3 squeezing the banks.
Speaker 3 What do you think they mean you should check into your reputational risk?
Speaker 3 Well, the real
Speaker 108
intent here by Governor Cuomo is to boycott. It's like the sponsor boycotts in the media.
They want any companies that do business with the NRA to be punished economically. So that's where you start.
Speaker 108 All right, so it was successful, the boycotts in the media. So now the politicians are saying, well, we can do the same thing with outfits that we don't like,
Speaker 108 like the NRA.
Speaker 108 And the subtext to it in New York is that Cynthia Nixon, the actress who actually played Nancy Reagan in the movie Killing Reagan,
Speaker 108
is running against Cuomo in a Democratic primary. And she's, you know, a socialist.
She's very far left. So he's doing a lot of things to please the left, and this is one of them.
Speaker 108 So it's a cynical exercise.
Speaker 66 But this is really.
Speaker 108
A lot of the companies that you mentioned do business with the state of New York, and that's the other thing. Correct.
Saying if you do
Speaker 108 anything with the
Speaker 108 NRA, you're not going to do business with us.
Speaker 87 So
Speaker 43 here's what just happened.
Speaker 41 This was just issued by the state of New York.
Speaker 28 The Department of Financial Services has fined Loftin companies $7 million
Speaker 37 for underwriting NRA-branded carry guard insurance.
Speaker 19 Now, what carry guard insurance is, is if you are
Speaker 89 if you have to shoot somebody, they cover your bail, they cover the fees,
Speaker 75 they do everything they can to make sure that you are protected, that you can not be financially destroyed by a charge that maybe you're innocent of.
Speaker 48 They've just filed that.
Speaker 45 They have just
Speaker 62 Locton agreed to pay a $7 million
Speaker 62 fine
Speaker 91 because they were part of this insurance.
Speaker 37 A $7 million fine.
Speaker 42 Well, that's going to send a message throughout the entire financial industry.
Speaker 11 I can't do anything that it covers insurance for guns.
Speaker 45 That will kill the Second Amendment.
Speaker 45 You know, it's
Speaker 108 what has to happen is they have to then bring it in and say
Speaker 108 this isn't a legitimate
Speaker 108 point of
Speaker 108 government.
Speaker 108 The argument has to be made in court of law that this is coercive and it's against the Second Amendment and it's designed to make it impossible for people to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
Speaker 108 So that's what has to happen. I assume it'll happen.
Speaker 82 I think who will
Speaker 108 a lot of lawyers.
Speaker 22 Yes, but
Speaker 36 who will have standing in that?
Speaker 37 And will they be brave enough to come through?
Speaker 99 In Illinois, they're now talking in one town about confiscating all of the guns.
Speaker 29 They're having a hard time. They're trying to do that in D.C., remember?
Speaker 82 Yes. And in D.C., they've lost.
Speaker 29 They've lost.
Speaker 41 Yes, but
Speaker 11 times are different now, and they're having a hard time finding people.
Speaker 8 All of the people
Speaker 77 are being named in this lawsuit, they're all Jane and John Doe.
Speaker 75 Nobody's willing to put their name on it because, I mean, and it's a violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Speaker 24 We're just going to come in and seize your property.
Speaker 71 Are you going to search my house for it?
Speaker 5 It's a violation of the Second Amendment.
Speaker 85 And they're having a hard time finding people who are willing to stand up because they know their life could be destroyed and their lives are in danger
Speaker 21 if they stand against this.
Speaker 108 Listen, Beck,
Speaker 108 this is a fight to the end on the second amendment so
Speaker 108 there are i i think more americans who support the second amendment according to polls than don't yes so the nra and other groups have to say this is what's happening all right here's what's happening so we have to fight against it and it's in it i've always said this in the end it's what the people are going to want they're not going to be able to overturn the second amendment That'll never happen in America.
Speaker 108 It's a constitutional thing, and they're never going to get that out, the amendment out.
Speaker 108 So they're going to try to strangle it economically, just as they do on television. And, you know, the proponents of the Second Amendment are going to have to fight it.
Speaker 29 It's a brawl.
Speaker 77 Bill, anything on your list?
Speaker 3 I mean, I've got a couple of other things on your list, but anything on your list that you think was important this week that we haven't touched base on?
Speaker 108 Well, I think that, you know, you have a system now of total collapse in the media. I think we've gone over that on this program.
Speaker 108 But it's now starting to take, you know, shape
Speaker 108 in a more dramatic form.
Speaker 108 So
Speaker 108
no longer is the media, and this is really interesting, they don't pretend anymore. that their goal is not to report facts to the folks.
It's to get Trump out of office.
Speaker 55 Yeah, you know,
Speaker 17 when I was at Fox, Sarah, do you have the clip from Hillary Clinton?
Speaker 31 I think it was from yesterday or the day before, where she was talking about the Iowa caucus.
Speaker 12 You know, when I was at Fox, I said, there's going to come a time to where they're all just going to take the mask off.
Speaker 3 You know,
Speaker 3 it was when Newsweek said, we're all socialists now.
Speaker 35 And I said, wait a minute, no, we're not.
Speaker 38 What does that mean?
Speaker 83 And
Speaker 77 they immediately
Speaker 36 went back.
Speaker 26 And then everybody said, oh,
Speaker 3 that's just just a racist term.
Speaker 27 By saying you're a socialist, it's basically you're a racist.
Speaker 31 Here's what Hillary Clinton admitted to just two days ago when she was making a list yet of more people that caused her to lose.
Speaker 14 Listen to this.
Speaker 53 You may be the only presidential candidate since World War II that actually had to stand up and say, I am a capitalist.
Speaker 82 And you did.
Speaker 82 Did it hurt you?
Speaker 110 Probably. I mean, you know,
Speaker 110 it's hard to know. But I mean, if you're in the Iowa caucuses and 41% of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I'm asked, are you a capitalist?
Speaker 110 And I say yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate
Speaker 49 accountability,
Speaker 110 you know, that probably gets lost. And though, oh my gosh, she's a capitalist.
Speaker 35 Listen to that.
Speaker 15 Here's the Democrats saying 41% are self-described socialists.
Speaker 108 You know, it is an amazing phenomenon that so many Americans believe that Venezuela is a good place.
Speaker 108
You know, I mean, just take a ride down to Caracas and take a look around or go to Havana. You can't go there anymore, but get on a cruise ship.
They'll dunk me there for a day.
Speaker 99 Go to China and just
Speaker 108 go out of Shanghai and Beijing and walk around the little towns. So it is amazing how the people are so stupid that they think socialism is a system that would bring prosperity because it will not.
Speaker 108 The other thing I saw this week that was the Millennial Study on Religion by Pew. Did you see that?
Speaker 108 That Americans ages 18 to, I think it's 42,
Speaker 108 have just abandoned religion.
Speaker 108 They don't believe in the quote-unquote God of the Bible.
Speaker 108 And the God of the Bible, of course, is a God that interacts with human beings. You pray to the God,
Speaker 108
the God is aware of you and your life and your struggles and your trials. That's the God of the Bible.
Little millenniums don't believe that. 65% of them don't believe that.
Okay? So now
Speaker 108 you combine that with the socialism and you're getting into atheistic socialism, which of course is communism.
Speaker 108 And, you know, for aware people to see how the country is changing, it all goes back to what you said at the beginning of the hour, the education system.
Speaker 108
That these kids are being indoctrinated. Well, capitalism's bad.
Republicans are bad. White people are bad.
Men are bad.
Speaker 29 Okay.
Speaker 108
And we, you know, we really have to fight against it. So you don't want to be in the bad place.
And if you're a guy, then you have to woke. See, if you, they're giving the guys a way out back.
Speaker 108 If you woke, then you're okay.
Speaker 29
Yeah. All right.
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 82
So it's like the invasion of the body snatch. Sure.
Okay.
Speaker 108 So
Speaker 108 they come. Are you woke?
Speaker 21 Isn't it amazing that you're lifted up?
Speaker 27 You have to be dead asleep.
Speaker 21 They've just taken the language and flipped it upside down.
Speaker 97 You have to be dead asleep to all of the facts and common sense and reason to gather and
Speaker 25 get the term woke applied to you.
Speaker 5 You're dead asleep. Yes.
Speaker 29 Bill,
Speaker 78 I don't know if you know Jacob Hine or heard his story, but he is a guy who, a kid, eighth grader, who had to translate a story in his Spanish class, so a news story.
Speaker 34 So he took a news story from Fox News.
Speaker 43 His teacher
Speaker 33 really just bullied him in class,
Speaker 97 lectured him in class,
Speaker 3 and just mocked and ridiculed him for using Fox News as a source.
Speaker 53 Fox News is fake news. You can never use that as a source ever again.
Speaker 53 And really embarrassed the kid in front of his class.
Speaker 7 Yeah.
Speaker 2 I have his dad on
Speaker 12 next hour.
Speaker 21 You have to listen to it. But
Speaker 3 can you think of any reason why that would happen in a Spanish class? Isn't it just the translation teacher?
Speaker 108 You know, you're anti-Hispanic. If you want
Speaker 108 any kind of controls on immigration, then you just don't like the Hispanic people. Look, I don't know if Americans understand
Speaker 108 how dramatic the changes are in this country and how the people who are trying to stop this madness are being destroyed and picked off one by one.
Speaker 108 Don't know if they, you know, look, Fox News, you just raise it, Fox News is not nearly what it was five years ago.
Speaker 29 Do you agree with that? Oh, yeah.
Speaker 108
Dramatic changes. Dramatic.
And that's the last line of defense in the media. There's no one else.
Speaker 108 So you're seeing it. It's happening before your eyes in 2018.
Speaker 108 The bad guys, in my opinion, are winning.
Speaker 108 Is that cycle irreparable? I don't think it is. I think that you can swing it back because the instincts of most Americans
Speaker 108 recoil when they see this. So you still have the folks, but the organized politicians, media, education system, it's unbelievably damaged at this point.
Speaker 21 I actually agree with Bill everything you said, but I do think there is hope. There's something else happening, and we'll we'll get into that a little later.
Speaker 57 Bill O'Reilly from BillO'reilly.com.
Speaker 53
Yeah, Bill made a mistake there. He said the last line of defense was Fox.
I think what he meant was billoilly.com.
Speaker 10 That's what probably. That is probably what he meant.
Speaker 39 Probably what it is.
Speaker 25 Bill, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Speaker 10
All right, guys. You got it.
Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

Speaker 29 Glenn Beck Mercury
Speaker 29 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 3 There is an amazing story.
Speaker 27 There is a woman.
Speaker 40 She's a black gun owner.
Speaker 77 She is about to give birth in prison
Speaker 2 because
Speaker 15 she was trying to protect her two-year-old from an assailant.
Speaker 38 And when you hear this story,
Speaker 29 it's phenomenal.
Speaker 67 Somebody went nuts on her.
Speaker 47 The woman drove her car into
Speaker 36 the other woman's car, and her daughter was still in the car.
Speaker 13 So she pulls out her gun and says, back off.
Speaker 47 Now she's on her own property. This is happening at her house on her own property.
Speaker 55 And she says, back off after the other woman drove her car
Speaker 45 into the car where her daughter was.
Speaker 38 She's now in prison.
Speaker 35 What?
Speaker 38 That whole story is coming on Monday.
Speaker 4 You don't want to miss it.
Speaker 16 Coming up next, Todd Hine, the dad of the boy that is in eighth grade that was bullied by his Spanish teacher because...
Speaker 3 He was told to go translate a news story.
Speaker 88 He did, but he translated a news story from Fox News and he was bullied and embarrassed and ridiculed in school.
Speaker 40 We'll get the whole story and what happened then next.
Speaker 90 Glenn, back.
Speaker 81 Mercury.
Speaker 81 Love. Courage.
Speaker 1 Truth.
Speaker 1 Glenn back.
Speaker 22 Yesterday, we learned where Hollywood, with its dainty preaching and glamorous fist-waving, draws the line.
Speaker 31 In typical dramatic, though outlandishly late, show of force, the Academy of Motion Picture, Arts, and Sciences has expelled Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski.
Speaker 41 It's time, they decided, to battle sex abuse, end quote.
Speaker 64 But best of all, because they're in Hollywood and they're such incredible performers, they were able to say it with a straight face, unaware, apparently, of all of the irony here.
Speaker 27 In a statement, the board cited the organization's standards of conduct as the basis for the two men's expulsions.
Speaker 30 The statement also noted that the board continues to encourage ethical ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy's values and respect for human dignity.
Speaker 58 They also pointed out that only four people have ever been expelled in the Academy's 91-year history.
Speaker 31 There's Bill Cosby, there's Roman Polanski, there's Harvey Weinstein, and
Speaker 16 Carmen
Speaker 29 Caridi.
Speaker 20 I've never heard. Have you ever heard of that name?
Speaker 11 Because we're really familiar with the crimes of the first three, but what did Caridi, what did, what did they do? Must have been murder, must have been rape, right?
Speaker 29 No, no.
Speaker 99 No, in 2004, he emailed a friend an early preview of a confidential film, and it wound up online.
Speaker 7 I can barely bring myself to
Speaker 8 say those words.
Speaker 70 There is something to be said about lumping those four crimes together that kind of of makes a farce out of all of it because Polanski has been on the run for decades.
Speaker 41 He has been nominated three times since his 1977 guilty plea for unlawful sex with a minor, also known as child molestation and rape of a 13-year-old.
Speaker 35 In 2003, he even won an Oscar, best director for the pianist.
Speaker 105 I I don't know.
Speaker 65 I mean, you took pretty swift action on the guy who released one of your precious movies.
Speaker 41 Next year's Oscars expect them to parade this ruling around like a badge of courage.
Speaker 104 Here we are.
Speaker 59 It's more really of a scarlet letter announcing to the world the hypocrisy of Hollywood and how it pays so well.
Speaker 1 It's Friday, May 4th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 41 Hollywood standing against
Speaker 26 sexual abuse and all this stuff now, isn't it a little like when the church came out?
Speaker 7 When was it?
Speaker 22 In 1982 or 1992?
Speaker 31 It said, okay, Galileo was right.
Speaker 104 Okay, that means a lot.
Speaker 8 Now, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 We have a story that's just an incredible story.
Speaker 36 It's happened in Fort Wayne, Indiana, one of my favorite towns in all of America,
Speaker 36 and
Speaker 100 Blackhawk Middle School.
Speaker 64 It revolves around an eighth-grade Spanish teacher and what she did to a student for completing his project.
Speaker 94 We have his father on the phone now, Todd Hine, the father of Jacob, who is an eighth grader there in
Speaker 33 Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Speaker 15 Hello, Todd. How are you? Great, Mr.
Speaker 8 Beck. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 30 So, Todd,
Speaker 74 tell me the story exactly
Speaker 35 what happened,
Speaker 36 what the assignment was, and then what happened after that.
Speaker 46 Sure.
Speaker 108 This is actually a reoccurring assignment that she gave the students beginning of the year.
Speaker 108 Once a week they're to read any type of current event, news article.
Speaker 108
Anything that they choose according to her own words. It could even be watching a track meet.
She wants them to translate a story into Spanish, turn that in, and
Speaker 108 it's a weekly assignment for the kids.
Speaker 3 Okay, so your son, he went and he found a story, which is actually an incredible story.
Speaker 39 I read it and was amazed by it about how there are several pilots now from the government who are saying they saw a UFO and there was video of it and everything else.
Speaker 8 That's the story he picked?
Speaker 108 It is.
Speaker 29 It is.
Speaker 8 And so what was the problem?
Speaker 108 Well, the problem was the very next day after he turned the assignment in, she came up to him in the middle of class and
Speaker 108 in front of everyone, didn't pull him aside and said, hey, Jacob, I'd like to talk to you about your article from yesterday.
Speaker 108
She said, I want you, you know, I noticed that you sourced Fox News as the source of your article. And I want you to know that Fox News is fake news.
It's full of lies.
Speaker 108 And you're no longer to use Fox News for any of these. Again, all year long, it's their discretion, zero, you know.
Speaker 108 Don't use these sources, do use these sources. It was always up to the kids.
Speaker 31 And she didn't stop there.
Speaker 3 It wasn't just that she bullied him and embarrassed him in front of the class.
Speaker 29 No,
Speaker 108
that was the beginning. Yeah, she actually decided to give him a separate assignment.
She said,
Speaker 108 what I want you to do is stop doing the assignment that everybody was doing in class, and you have a new assignment.
Speaker 108 You are to Google any of the many Trumps or many of the lies that President Trump has told since being in office and write me a page on that and turn it in tomorrow.
Speaker 4 And what did that have to do with Spanish?
Speaker 106 And what did that have to do with the story of UFOs?
Speaker 106 Exactly.
Speaker 108 That's how this entire incident came about and why I'm actually on your show today.
Speaker 108 It was non-political. In fact,
Speaker 108
there were multiple news outlets, CNN, NBC, that all ran the same article. Oh, yeah.
And non-political.
Speaker 108 But the source of the news was offensive, apparently, to her, that he actually read it off of Fox News and not one of the other sources. And then give him
Speaker 108 a punitive assignment that, again, outside of any class curriculum I've ever read for Fortinth Community Schools in a Spanish class to Google the sitting president's numerous lives and write on that instead.
Speaker 108 Imagine that.
Speaker 19 So so so Todd, your son comes home.
Speaker 31 Jacob tells you this.
Speaker 9 What does he say and what do you do?
Speaker 108 Well, he actually let my wife know when she picked him up that afternoon. She immediately called me.
Speaker 108
I became furious. Obviously, these are eighth grade kids.
This is a Spanish class. It's not government or any kind of setting that maybe even political speech would be
Speaker 108 appropriate.
Speaker 108 I went ahead and tried to call the school that afternoon. Unfortunately, their office were closed.
Speaker 108
The next morning I called to request to speak to the principal. They said she was out of town for a couple of days.
Somebody will get back with me.
Speaker 108 So being unsatisfied, I immediately called the actual school corporate office itself.
Speaker 108 They referred me back to Black Hawk to Mr. Harrell, who's their vice principal, and he returned my call, told him
Speaker 108 the incident that occurred, told him that we would like to set up a meeting with this teacher, the principal, and figure out what happened. How is this happening in Fort Wayne of all places?
Speaker 29 So, what happened?
Speaker 108 Well, two days later, we actually had our meeting,
Speaker 108 a meeting in which, in the state of Indiana, we're a one-party state where you can actually record.
Speaker 108 Did not let them know we did that. Through that meeting, the teacher
Speaker 108 100%
Speaker 108 admitted that it exactly took place the way that my son described it.
Speaker 108 She did give him the extra assignment.
Speaker 108
There was not a he said, she said. It was, yes, I did that, and I'm sorry.
And in fact, her exact statement was, you know, I can't imagine if this happened to my child.
Speaker 108 I would be, you know, in the same, I'd be furious as well, or something to that effect, you know.
Speaker 40 So then why did she do it?
Speaker 108 Well, that was a question. I said, why are we here? How did this become, you know, that I said, what gives you the right to, you know, push political views, agendas, or whatever on children?
Speaker 108 She never could answer the question.
Speaker 108 She ended up being asked by the principal to leave the meeting because she, again, was not giving any kind of answers.
Speaker 108 The principal, after she left the room, told us that this would be in a human resources investigation. She would forward it on, and she would keep us posted as much as she could.
Speaker 69 So
Speaker 29 what do you
Speaker 8 have you heard anything since?
Speaker 108 Well, you know, this incident actually took place. The original incident was on on March 20th, so over a month, you know, ago now.
Speaker 108 Various emails were sent to the school.
Speaker 108 In fact, I did a little bit more research on this teacher just by pulling up her public social media pages that are absolutely full of, I don't know else how to describe it, but
Speaker 108 liberal propaganda,
Speaker 108 anti-Trump, you know,
Speaker 108 ban assault weapons.
Speaker 108 Elizabeth Warren, you know, any tweets that she put, you know, disparaging to President Trump, she retweets.
Speaker 108 You know, she actually put a couple things on her own face or her own Twitter account in which she does list herself as a teacher at foreign community schools.
Speaker 108 That I doubt I should say too much of it on the air, but
Speaker 108 how
Speaker 108 the president is a liar and he should shut his effing mouth.
Speaker 108 So this isn't, you know.
Speaker 108 It kind of made more sense after, you know, just doing a quick search on her that this is personal for her and
Speaker 108 she feels like she has the right to inject her political beliefs on 13 and 14 year old kids of all people.
Speaker 21 Yeah, you know, I mean, everybody has their own political belief and you have a right to express it in your own life, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 3 But once you cross over into the school and it becomes indoctrination, I think that's a real problem.
Speaker 3 What are you expecting and what do you hope?
Speaker 68 And what are your next steps?
Speaker 108 Sure. Well, long story short,
Speaker 108 there was not much communication from the school itself, zero from the school district. Finally, to the point where we were fed up, I actually called, I believe it was
Speaker 108 end of April, April 24th-ish, and spoke with Tim Rawl, who is the assistant to the superintendent for the Fort Community Schools District.
Speaker 108 He told me that day that the investigation into this incident has been completed,
Speaker 108 that it is a private matter between the school district and the teacher as far as the outcome of this goes.
Speaker 108 The biggest thing as well, you know, with this, after our initial meeting with the school and told that this is going to be forward to the Human Resources Department for investigation, which sounded like they're taking this very serious,
Speaker 108 fast forward three more school days, Jacob was actually picked through another teacher that submitted a creative writing assignment he did to have an excused absence for the afternoon to visit an
Speaker 108 art museum. That night he texted a friend in the same Spanish class, hey, did I miss anything for homework tonight?
Speaker 108 And the homework assignment that the child texted back said, yes, our homework assignment is since it's been six months since the hurricane in Puerto Rico,
Speaker 108 how, oh, I'm sorry, since six months since the hurricane in Puerto Rico, only 95% of the island has power and how Donald Trump should have done more
Speaker 108 with the people. Again, three days after this incident.
Speaker 108
So again, the frustration kept mounting. We did it the right way.
We went through the due process,
Speaker 108 the meeting, the waiting, forwarding more information as we were coming. As soon as I got
Speaker 108 text message that my son's friend had sent him, I immediately went to the school the next morning and said, this has got to stop.
Speaker 108 We do not want him in this class until this investigation has a conclusion.
Speaker 108 Their solution at that time was, well, he can come down here and work in the office. No!
Speaker 108 Sure. Well, that was just the day, because the next day,
Speaker 108
Foreign Community School started their 10-11-day spring break. So just a band-aid for the day.
Okay.
Speaker 108 Went through spring break. The day that classes started back, my wife actually called the school and said, what is the plan for Jacob in the Spanish class?
Speaker 108 She basically said, he can continue to come down here if you do not want him in that class. My wife said, no, he is there to learn.
Speaker 108 Just through other friends that have, you know, the same period, they have a writing class in fourth period.
Speaker 108 She said, would it be possible to just have him go to another writing class as opposed to coming to the office? And she said, yeah, let me see. And she confirmed she could do that.
Speaker 108 Now, my wife's second question to the principal at that phone call, what about this Spanish credit? This is an honors eighth-grade Spanish class.
Speaker 108 It was supposed to give him what we thought was one credit moving into high school. It's going to carry in for it.
Speaker 108 In the conversation with the principal,
Speaker 108 she said that she'd have to look into it.
Speaker 108
There shouldn't be an issue with his credit transferring. Again, he's an honor student.
He's straight A's, straight A's in Spanish as well. Oh, my gosh.
And
Speaker 108
there was just not much of a conclusion. It was kind of wait and see.
And if the high school next year doesn't do anything, let us know.
Speaker 29 Oh, my God.
Speaker 104 So is this it?
Speaker 29 Is this the best they did?
Speaker 108
Oh, it even gets better, Mr. Beck.
Absolutely. So again,
Speaker 108
April 24th, I called the school district and talked to the assistant superintendent. Told me the investigation is over.
It's a personnel matter. We as parents have no rights to know.
Speaker 108 I said, well, when did the investigation conclude?
Speaker 108 You have no rights to know any of this. This is between us and the teacher.
Speaker 108 Unsatisfied with that, actually Monday of this week I actually called down to the Indiana State Board of Education.
Speaker 108 And the lady that I spoke with down there said, I'd like to figure out the process of a formal complaint against my local school system.
Speaker 108 She said that any complaint against the school system policy questions are made at the
Speaker 108 local school district level and referred me back to the school board.
Speaker 108 Immediately got phoned, Googled the school board's phone number, and
Speaker 108 made that call. Lo and behold, it's actually the superintendent's office's phone number.
Speaker 108 The lady that I spoke with there again explained, hey, I'd like to formally complain, you know, make a complaint against the school district to the school board regarding an incident with my son.
Speaker 108 She had no idea who I needed to speak with. She said, let me figure out who you should talk to and I'll call you back.
Speaker 108 About ten minutes later, I get a call from the actual superintendent, Wendy Robinson, of Fort Wing Community Schools.
Speaker 108 Very,
Speaker 108 very strange conversation, I guess, that I guess left with more questions than answers through this.
Speaker 108 She introduced herself as, you know, the superintendent, and what do you need to speak with my school board about?
Speaker 108 And told her, you know, we don't feel like that the policy that Fort Wayne Community Schools has as far as
Speaker 108 any teacher discipline or incident with a teacher is kept between the teacher and you know the the HR department that we'd like to talk about the policies. her exact term well now mr.
Speaker 108 Hine the the teacher has apologized the school board has or the school district has apologized what more do you want out of this I said well first of all the school district has never apologized and she interrupted she said I'm apologizing right now I will handle that apology I am sorry for what happened I said now as far as this teacher's apology how I mean how can I take you know believe her apology when three days after this meeting that we had she continued to push her political agenda She really had no answer for it.
Speaker 108 It got to the point where it got kind of heated. I mean, we were going back and forth at each other for a little bit.
Speaker 108 Brought up the concern of this high school credit transferring. She said, I'm going to let you know that, you know, I will get it in writing that this credit will transfer.
Speaker 108 So at least a big portion of
Speaker 108 our issue with this incident, Jacob being basically penalized over this, was resolved in my book until the next day and I received an email from Mrs. Robinson.
Speaker 44 Okay,
Speaker 10 I got to to take a break.
Speaker 15 We'll get to that in just a second.
Speaker 18 This is insane.
Speaker 97 Just insane. All right.
Speaker 21 Everything is upside down.
Speaker 36 The world is in chaos and it's looking for stability.
Speaker 31 And I think Bitcoin looks very unstable, but cryptocurrencies are the future.
Speaker 3 It is the future.
Speaker 37 Now, I don't know
Speaker 21 all the ins and outs. And when I started to invest, I didn't know all the ins and outs.
Speaker 11 And it made it really scary.
Speaker 12 I didn't even know how to sell them or buy them.
Speaker 3 But I knew enough about them to believe there's something here.
Speaker 74 So we looked around.
Speaker 65 Stu and I were looking for people who can teach this, who really knows it.
Speaker 9 We found a guy called Atika Tawari.
Speaker 94 He's from the Palm Beach Letter.
Speaker 27 He's a guy who has been talking about this for a long time.
Speaker 21 He came into the office. He was explaining.
Speaker 42 We looked at each other.
Speaker 21 We were like, okay, can you just do this like in a course for us and for the audience?
Speaker 41 So that's what we've done.
Speaker 101 And you can take this course.
Speaker 31 It's a smartcryptocourse.com.
Speaker 34 SmartcryptoCourse.com.
Speaker 31 You want to understand what cryptocurrencies are and not only just how to invest them, but what does it mean for the future?
Speaker 71 How to invest, which ones are good, which ones are bad, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2 Then you can decide if you're going to get involved or not.
Speaker 75 But you need to understand it.
Speaker 87 SmartCryptoCourse.com.
Speaker 11 Go there now.
Speaker 31 SmartCryptocourse.com.
Speaker 29 Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 81 Glenn Back.
Speaker 21 This is an amazing story out of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Speaker 4 Teacher bullying a child in a Spanish class because he's using Fox News as a source.
Speaker 21 It has nothing to do with politics at all.
Speaker 63 She says, I'm sorry about that because she assigns him something crazy to make amends for using Fox News.
Speaker 36 Parents go through an ordeal at the school.
Speaker 26 She apparently says she's never going to do it again.
Speaker 21 Three days later, she's assigning the class, tell me, you know, all the bad things that the president has done in Puerto Rico in Spanish.
Speaker 88 The father is trying to get somebody to do something.
Speaker 7 He finally gets to the school district, the superintendent.
Speaker 48 She apologizes, says don't worry about the credit, but then what happens?
Speaker 97 Todd.
Speaker 97 Sure.
Speaker 108 Well, two days ago, we received this email back from her stating that she has looked into the credit situation, said that he will receive the credit for the first semester.
Speaker 108 She said, according to the school, though, your wife requested your son to be transferred out of the Spanish class.
Speaker 108 They also stated that my wife told her back that he's planning on taking a different language next year, German, and she had a question on how will a Spanish credit affect his German for next year.
Speaker 108 So the response we got back was that because my wife requested to get him out of that class because of the incidents keep occurring, and
Speaker 108 that according to them, she had no concerns about this credit transferring next year because he's taking another another class. So he will not receive credit for the second semester.
Speaker 108 Unbelievable.
Speaker 29 Unbelievable. Absolutely.
Speaker 11 Wow. Unbelievable.
Speaker 15 So what are you going to do now, Todd?
Speaker 108
You know, we're weighing all of our options. I mean, we've kind of played our cards pretty close to us.
And it just.
Speaker 3 Will you do us a favor?
Speaker 2 Will you just keep us up to speed on this? Because
Speaker 33 in a small town like Fort Wayne, Indiana,
Speaker 3 I mean, this is craziness.
Speaker 12 This is absolute craziness if you can't get satisfaction.
Speaker 39 Make sure you keep us informed because we're on it now with you and in your corner.
Speaker 108 Well, thank you very much for your time. We will definitely keep you posted.
Speaker 15 God bless.
Speaker 8 Thank you.
Speaker 57 And hi to Charlie Butcher and and all the people at WoWo.
Speaker 29 We love you.
Speaker 90 Glenn, back.
Speaker 81 Mercury.
Speaker 1 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 14 We welcome Pat Gray back to the program,
Speaker 10 who had surgery this week, and apparently things went well.
Speaker 29 They did, feeling considerably.
Speaker 50 Wait, what's going on?
Speaker 50 Wow.
Speaker 31 Doctor said he's 100%, but he could go quickly.
Speaker 82 He could go quickly.
Speaker 107 He said, you know, if you're going to keel over and die, it'll be sometime probably between like 11.05 Friday morning to 2.05 Central Time Friday afternoon.
Speaker 29 Wow.
Speaker 28 That's when you're going to be on the air.
Speaker 29 Oh, and God could have to that.
Speaker 33 You could be doing fine and then drop dead.
Speaker 29 Wow. Wait, are you okay?
Speaker 39 Well, it's not between those times.
Speaker 29
I was wondering if this is leading to something dramatic. It could be.
It could be.
Speaker 8 I'm not. I'll put this.
Speaker 59 I'm going to tune in to the Pat Gray program today.
Speaker 53 Yeah, because I want to know what's going to happen.
Speaker 29 Anything could happen.
Speaker 7 Anything could happen. Any of you
Speaker 29 could die today.
Speaker 8 Welcome back, Pat. Glad to be here.
Speaker 29 Thank you. Good to be here.
Speaker 72 I have a quick story, and I know we want to get into some political things, but I have a good story that we have finally in New Jersey solved who was pooping on the high school track
Speaker 78 every day.
Speaker 58 They were finding human feces
Speaker 12 near the track every day on a daily basis, and they couldn't figure out who was doing it.
Speaker 27 And so the school district
Speaker 24 put some resource powers onto it and
Speaker 15 they found out that it was a guy who was jogging on the track at about five o'clock in the morning every day.
Speaker 22 And when he was finished or halfway through, whatever, he would drop his drawers and poop there next to the track, pull his drawers back up and start running again.
Speaker 35 Happens?
Speaker 8 No, it really doesn't.
Speaker 29 No, it really doesn't.
Speaker 15 It really doesn't.
Speaker 85 But it is interesting.
Speaker 103 The guy is charged with lewdness and littering.
Speaker 38 And he's due in court on Monday.
Speaker 12 And
Speaker 14 he has had to take a leave of absence from his job
Speaker 2 because, well,
Speaker 27 he was the superintendent of the school district.
Speaker 29 That is unbelievable.
Speaker 85 Does that not explain America in a nutshell today?
Speaker 107 That is unbelievable.
Speaker 29 That is crazy.
Speaker 107 That's reminiscent of another superintendent story we had recently.
Speaker 8 Yeah.
Speaker 53 How does it feel, Pat, that, you know, when Glenn tried to select the perfect story to start your segment with, he selected that one as the one he was looking for?
Speaker 8 What is that?
Speaker 29
It's perfect. Yeah, it does.
It does. It does.
I don't know what he's saying. I've been finding poop in the hallway, Pat.
Speaker 3 All right.
Speaker 3 There's another story.
Speaker 40 This one comes out from West Virginia.
Speaker 53 I'm in love with this story today. It's Don Blankenship, who's running for Senate.
Speaker 107 I think he's going to win.
Speaker 29 Yeah, after this ad, I think you're right. He's powerful.
Speaker 29 Wait a minute.
Speaker 70 Wasn't he the guy in jail?
Speaker 53 He had a minor brush with the law.
Speaker 58 Was he pooping in a high school?
Speaker 29 He was not.
Speaker 53
He actually ran, I think it was the sixth largest coal company in America. So this guy's like a very wealthy guy.
He's very respected in the business community at some level.
Speaker 53 They did have a minor incident, and I mean, with minors, they lost 29 minors in a terrible accident. You'll remember this from several years ago, and he wound up paying some legal costs for that.
Speaker 41 Because of safety violations of the mine, right?
Speaker 53 Yeah, it was a pretty ugly story.
Speaker 53
So he has decided to run for Senate. Now, he's in a three-person race.
It looks like he's in third place.
Speaker 53 And when you're in third place in a three-person race, but still relatively competitive, like it doesn't look like he's going to win.
Speaker 86 You know what I mean?
Speaker 29 He's not at one point. May I just point out?
Speaker 107 Well, it didn't look like he was going to win until this ad came out.
Speaker 53 Until this ad came out.
Speaker 82 Sometimes you got to take drastic measures.
Speaker 29 Okay.
Speaker 53 Sometimes
Speaker 29 you need to let it all go
Speaker 48 to win a race like this.
Speaker 53 And that's what Don did here.
Speaker 82 There's a lot to unpack out of this ad.
Speaker 29 Warn you in advance.
Speaker 53 Here is the new ad from Don Blanketship.
Speaker 111
Hi, I'm Don Blanketship, 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.
Speaker 111 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.
Speaker 111 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.
Speaker 111 I will beat Joe Manchin and ditch Cocaine Mitch for the sake of the kids.
Speaker 46 Oh, my. I am concerned that there are too many China people and Africa people and Mexico people.
Speaker 15 I might vote for that guy just because of that ad.
Speaker 107 Don't even get me started on the Japan people.
Speaker 29 There are too many of them with jobs.
Speaker 41 That's the craziest thing.
Speaker 38 I mean, if we're going for entertainment value, which I think is what we're doing now, isn't it?
Speaker 29 That's all we do in politics.
Speaker 15 I mean, it's all we do now in politics is who's going to be more entertaining. That guy is non-stop joke material.
Speaker 29 Oh, man.
Speaker 53 It does appear to be a...
Speaker 50 There's a dash of racism in China people? Yes.
Speaker 53 And also, remember, Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chow who so his China people actually
Speaker 53 come unbelievable I didn't understand the cocaine reference though cocaine Mitch yeah what is that cocaine Mitch it's a real it's a great stretch in politics I love when they when people really go crazy and try to manipulate a claim to like really stretch it so uh Mitch McConnell is cocaine Mitch because Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chow.
Speaker 29 Right.
Speaker 53 Elaine Chow is the secretary. She was a secretary
Speaker 82 under the China family.
Speaker 29 That's his China family.
Speaker 82 She's transportation.
Speaker 53 Now she's transportation. So she's the Secretary of Transportation.
Speaker 53 One of the reasons she has a qualification for that role, I guess, is her family had a shipping company, and they still own the shipping company. So her dad started a shipping company.
Speaker 53
One ship in that giant shipping company in 2014, there was discovered 90 pounds. of cocaine on the ship.
Now, it had nothing to do with Elaine Chow.
Speaker 53
It had certainly nothing to do with Mitch McConnell. And it really had nothing to do with the company either.
No one was charged in the incident. They found 90 pounds.
Speaker 107 Somebody just smuggled it on?
Speaker 53 Yeah. The ship is so large, it carries 182 million pounds each time it goes
Speaker 8 where it goes.
Speaker 41 So this is point.
Speaker 53 I was looking at this before.
Speaker 53 0.00005%
Speaker 53 of
Speaker 53 the
Speaker 29 haul, the cargo,
Speaker 53 was cocaine on one trip, one
Speaker 53 time, four years ago,
Speaker 29 on a company that's owned by the family of his wife. He's a McConnell apologist or what?
Speaker 8 Can I tell you?
Speaker 29 Can I tell you?
Speaker 39 That's the way China Family is Hill Do you?
Speaker 15 China Families will do you that time.
Speaker 26 China Family Shudillia.
Speaker 85 You know, may I just say that really, I think we can come to a place now that you shouldn't run
Speaker 105 if you've ever had a problem with a minor.
Speaker 60 And I mean that in any way minors can be interpreted.
Speaker 53
Well, this one is actually for the kids. I don't know if you noticed.
He said he was going to win this for the kids, which I thought was important.
Speaker 107 The other thing is, like, when you had two unidentified kids with him,
Speaker 29
I don't know who they were. Grandchildren, we don't even know.
Children, neighbors.
Speaker 15 I don't know who they were.
Speaker 48 I hate that part's rough, too, because the kids are adorable.
Speaker 53 And it's like, you know, you bring in these kids into this middle of the world.
Speaker 60 For the kids, I just, I don't, I think, I mean, you have to see it.
Speaker 8 We'll have to post it. You have to see it because
Speaker 18 it sounds bad.
Speaker 29 But then when you look at him, you know who he is?
Speaker 24 He's
Speaker 24 Pedro from
Speaker 82 Oh, yeah, from Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon Dynamite.
Speaker 29 Yes.
Speaker 53 Because there's absolutely no emotion in his face whatsoever.
Speaker 36 Vote for me, and I will make your wildest dreams come true.
Speaker 29 Except for you, cocaine mitch, with your China family.
Speaker 29 All right. Wow, he could go.
Speaker 104 He could go.
Speaker 29 Patrick.
Speaker 60 Not now. Are you okay?
Speaker 104 I'm not sure.
Speaker 29 What this is.
Speaker 29
Let's see. Give me about 15 minutes.
All right.
Speaker 8 Thank you, Pat.
Speaker 50 He looks so healthy and happy.
Speaker 29 He was sick. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 53 all of a sudden, out of nowhere. Did you see that? He was fine.
Speaker 29 Look at him.
Speaker 41 What's he? None of us.
Speaker 19 He looked fine. And then all of a sudden...
Speaker 29 Oh, no!
Speaker 82 It's happening again.
Speaker 29 My gosh.
Speaker 15 And none of us saw it coming. No.
Speaker 29 None of us saw it coming.
Speaker 53 And you won't see it coming as well. On Pat Gray Unleashed, where he may very well, from scientists have said it to him, may keel over during his program today on Pat Gray.
Speaker 21 Well, the doctor said he is going to die.
Speaker 69 That's confirmed. That's confirmed.
Speaker 6 He is going to die.
Speaker 53 He is going to die. And maybe the most likely time would be in the next few years.
Speaker 92 I'm a doctor, man.
Speaker 25 It most likely will happen on the air today.

Speaker 42 what we're doing if you come down to the Mercury Studios and see the museum, which will be open for three days here at the studios.
Speaker 21 And it's going to be one of of the best museum experiences we've done yet.
Speaker 53 It's a munchkin eating contest.
Speaker 8 Why would you now?
Speaker 53 And by the way, not the donuts.
Speaker 8
Right, I mean, Wizard of Oz. This is about history, man.
Yep.
Speaker 29 Yeah. So that's coming.
Speaker 50 You get all the details on that, Mercuron.org.
Speaker 53 So a couple of things from the media before we depart.
Speaker 53 The Iran thing that happened this week with Israel and Netanyahu saying, hey, you know,
Speaker 53 they're doing a lot of bad things.
Speaker 43 It kind of went away faster.
Speaker 19 It did. You know why?
Speaker 53 Because it wasn't a big deal. Nothing new here.
Speaker 29 Nothing new here.
Speaker 53 And the media wanted to make sure you understood that over and over and over again.
Speaker 82 Listen.
Speaker 112 Nothing new. That is what the UN's nuclear watchdog says about the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's self-described blockbuster revelations on Iran.
Speaker 53 There is nothing new in Bibi's presentation.
Speaker 113 Nothing new and not groundbreaking.
Speaker 27 Nothing new in substance.
Speaker 50 Nothing new.
Speaker 113 Nothing new here.
Speaker 86 Nothing new. Nothing new.
Speaker 29
Nothing new. Nothing new.
Nothing new.
Speaker 113
Nothing new. Nothing new.
Nothing new.
Speaker 85 Nothing new.
Speaker 73 This was not a new new story
Speaker 53 unbelievable i mean it really yeah it is incredible that they keep doing that by the way the voice glenn referenced the voice christiane on ampur yeah well you should sex expert christiane amampur
Speaker 53 because uh she's got she's got a big cnn series right now about how different people have sex around the world and that's you know again you know surprisingly it's very similar
Speaker 15 The way people have sex around the world.
Speaker 53 Yeah, there's a couple things that happen. We can describe them more in detail maybe after the show.
Speaker 29 Yeah, Yeah, but everyone hasn't had that conversation.
Speaker 70 Shockingly, very much the same.
Speaker 53 I will say that, so that was not surprising at all. Let me give you something that I thought was surprising.
Speaker 45 To hear on Fox News, did you hear this Neil Cavuto thing?
Speaker 82 Wow.
Speaker 53 It's kind of gone viral, I guess.
Speaker 29 Neil...
Speaker 53 You know, the way Neil does, because he says, I think everything with a smile. He seems like an upbeat sort of guy.
Speaker 19 Has he been on Trump's case a lot?
Speaker 35 Not that I know of.
Speaker 29 I didn't know.
Speaker 53 He laid into him for what seemed like hours yesterday.
Speaker 53
Here's a clip of it. This is from his show.
And it's kind of shocking to hear this on Fox News. They're obviously more familiar with it.
Speaker 44 And from Neil Caputo.
Speaker 53 And from Neil as well. Here's a clip.
Speaker 109
Consistently, beneath the doubt, Mr. President, say maybe not deliberately, but consistently, way too consistently.
So let me be clear, Mr. President.
Speaker 109 How can you drain the swamp if you're the one who keeps mudding the waters? You didn't know about that $130,000 payment to a porn star until you did.
Speaker 109 Said you knew nothing about how your former lawyer, Michael Cohen, handled this until acknowledging today you were the guy behind the retainer payment that took care of this.
Speaker 109
You insist that money from the campaign or campaign contributions played no role in this transaction. Of that, you're sure.
Thing is, not even 24 hours ago, sir, you couldn't recall any of this.
Speaker 109
And you seem very sure. Now, I'm not saying you're a liar, you're president, you're busy.
I'm just having a devil of a time figuring out which news is fake.
Speaker 109
Let's just say your own words on lots of stuff. Give me, shall I say, lots of pause.
You are right to say some of them are out to get you. But oftentimes, they're using your own words to bash you.
Speaker 109 Your base
Speaker 48 probably might not care, but you should.
Speaker 109
I guess you've been too busy draining the swamp to ever stop and smell the stink you're creating. Wow.
That's your doing. That's your stink.
Speaker 109 Mr.
Speaker 29 President, that's your swamp
Speaker 53 geez wow i mean i and that was just a clip of it it went on and on and on and he went over topic after topic after topic highlighting some of the misstatements and that's uh i was i'm guessing the television wasn't on in the white house during that i guess not i don't i can imagine it wasn't that was uh It was pretty
Speaker 25 dramatic on Fox News.
Speaker 44 Yeah, Neil Cavuto
Speaker 21 has always kind of gone his own way.
Speaker 63 And, you know, I've disagreed with him and agreed with him at different times on things.
Speaker 2 But he is,
Speaker 6 you know, he's, I'm having a dickens of a time. He is always a gentleman.
Speaker 21 But, and that's about as fiery as I've ever seen him
Speaker 36 ever in life.
Speaker 48 All right. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 68 We'll see you Monday.
Speaker 90 Glenn, back.
Speaker 81 Mercury.
