Glenn back so there he was David Hogg dressed in a snappy looking suit ending his March for Our Lives speech with the line Thank you!

I love you all!

God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

What a politician.

Now, wait a minute.

Hang on just a second.

God bless you.

God bless the United States.

I mean, I thought the entire reason they began this whole thing was

because merely sending thoughts and prayers, that prayers were pointless.

God bless you.

God bless the United States of America.

What a pointless thing to say.

Hashtag never again.

We've got to do something.

And invoking the man upstairs is for children.

Oh, wait a minute.

That's who we are.

Anyway, I digress.

Hogg continued.

We can and we will change the world.

With that, he thrust his clenched fist into the air in triumph.

Wait a minute, I've seen that clenched

fist before.

Yes, yes, I saw it in the 1960s, but that's not it.

No, no, no.

I mean, what was else that was a symbol for?

Oh, oh, there.

Yes, that's right.

The the anti-Trump resist movement.

That's right.

I forgot about that.

Emma Gonzalez, she was great.

She gave her speech.

She was rocking this great outfit with a Cuban flag patch on her Army green jacket.

That is fantastic.

So we've got two kids advocating against the Second Amendment of the Constitution while at the same time repping the resist movement and communism.

Oh, this is neat.

Now, I don't think I need to point the obvious out here, but I'm going to anyway.

There's more going on here than just guns and leftists all over the country, adult leftists, have weaponized a bunch of...

Dare I say it?

Well, I can, because we're just quoting Lenin.

They've weaponized a bunch of useless idiots.

Useful idiots?

Useful idiots.

Well, they could be useless.

Anyway, a bunch of kids to do their dirty work.

Now, how do we know this?

Well, follow the money.

Oh, wait.

Wait a minute.

We can't follow the money.

Well, yeah, we'd have to be able to follow the money because there's all kinds of paperwork and all kinds of permits that have to be done for a march like this, right?

Yes, but the puppet masters behind this thing have hidden their paper trail it's a conspiracy no uh uh this is just the way it's done this march was supposedly organized by kids for kids

yeah well it had its paperwork filed by a woman not a kid a woman named jerry rhodes now who's jerry rhodes i'm sure she's just a mom right she's just a mom in parkland Neither that or she's the CFO for Greenpeace, but now works for the national the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

It's a high-powering high-powered lobbying firm in DC.

Wow, how did she get involved?

You'll never guess, by the way, what they specialize in.

From their LinkedIn page, they focus on quote, social and economic justice.

Oh,

rocking that Cuban flag.

Demonstrations like March for Our Lives are usually set up as a 501c3.

How do I know that?

I've set these marches up.

501c3.

But Jerry Rhodes didn't do that.

Instead, she filed for a 501c4.

It's one number better.

Well, what does that mean, Glenn?

Well, a 501c3,

you have to let everybody know who's behind it.

But a 501c4 status lets you hide your donors so no one knows knows who the donors are.

Remember, we did that at the Rally for America and oh no, wait, we didn't do that.

Well, we did it when we marched on Washington.

No, we didn't do that either because the press was demanding to know who was funding.

That's right.

Wow.

Well, the press must just

be all up in arms about this 501c4 thing.

Whoever footed the bill for Miss Rhodes will probably forever be a secret for a couple of reasons.

A, nobody in the press really seems to care who funded it.

This is not AstroTurf.

The rest of the March for Our Lives organizers will probably never be known.

But this is not their first rodeo, and it won't be their last.

The last thing they want is names like George Soros to pop on the tax sheet.

And I'll bet he's just one of the embarrassing names that were involved here.

We do know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz swooped in from the beginning to start linking these kids with progressive groups.

Groups like Gifford's Every Town for Gun Safety.

And of course, they love the children, Planned Parenthood, and the Women's March.

You know, the ones who have been linked now to Louis Farrakhan.

They're the ones who took the roles in organizing this event, but we'll never know the full extent because big progressive donors don't want you to know who's really really in charge here.

A 501c4 ensures that no one will ever know.

All the while the media and Hollywood stars focus the attention on the kids.

Oh

isn't that sweet?

This is in chapter one of the Progressive Propaganda Playbook.

Progressives have moved on from simply invoking the words, let's do it for our children, to actually doing it to the children.

If you're curious, now that the march is over, David Hogg isn't finished, he's now going to crusade for opposing voter identification laws.

Get ready for more of this.

Yes, raise your fist in the air.

Resist.

Sport the Cuban flag because this

is only the beginning.

It's Monday, March 26th.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

So the protesters, can we play the audio here in the video?

They say they want to assault, to ban assault weapons, but do they even know what that means?

Let's support the kids.

Let's listen to their voices.

Play the audio, please.

I think there needs to be a complete ban on assault weapons.

We need laws in place that are going to prevent people from walking into schools with assault rifles.

Yeah, I think there definitely needs to be a ban on these assault rifles.

So any banning of any guns I would be supportive of.

To give up some rights to have assault rifles, it's like a higher priority than

people losing their lives.

Assault weapons are not necessary for home defense, they're not necessary for the average citizen to have.

What laws would you like to see?

What kind of guns would you like to see banned?

Just assault rifles.

Do you know what an assault weapon is?

Yeah, it's an assault weapon.

It's like a um

I kind of do,

but kind of don't.

um like I know I guess

um but

assault weapons like does that sound safe to you what an assault weapon is

yeah it's like it's a an arm that

like a gun for instance that you can buy at a shop pretty easily that is

like can can cause more deaths than like

One I guess yes yes scaled it man more than one more They're good, right?

That's assault weapons.

Yes.

That's what they do.

They kill more than one.

You buy them at a store.

It's that kind of a gun.

They don't even know.

They want to say, you know, it's a big, black, scary-looking gun.

That's what they want to say, but they know that that'll make them sound like an idiot.

So they're trying to come up with something that doesn't make them sound like an idiot, which isn't working here.

Like, if you had this idea and you were like, you know what?

Heroin is bad.

But you know what's really bad is Mexican heroin.

And you went to the front of the American people and said, look, we're not trying to ban all heroin.

We're just trying to ban Mexican heroin because it's a really bad product.

It does really bad things.

And when people came to ask you, well, what's the difference between Mexican heroin and heroin from anywhere else in the world?

Stuff from Mexico.

Right.

And if they didn't have an answer to that, you might correctly assume that their actual goal was to ban all heroin.

Because if you wanted to ban just just Mexican heroin, you would come up with a real, you'd have a real understanding of the nuances between the two products.

And that's what's interesting here with the gun debate is they come here and they say they want to ban assault weapons, but they don't even bother to get the most basic understanding of what the thing they're trying to ban is.

Now, if you really care, and there's a real difference, and the only thing you're after, you're for the Second Amendment, of course, but you're really just looking to ban these assault weapons.

Wouldn't you take the time to know what it is?

No, no, no.

No, I wouldn't.

Unless, of course, your goal is just to ban all guns, and this is the easiest one to get done.

Well, now wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

There's a new commercial out and it is all about gun control facts.

Oh, really?

And they brought the actors in.

And they said, just read the lines off prompter.

And then they watched their reactions as they read the facts of the gun control facts.

And it was kind of, it was, it was weird as they were reading these facts.

They were learning as they went.

Listen to this.

Did you know, according to the CDC, there were roughly 38,000 gun deaths in 2016.

Two-thirds of them were suicides.

There are over 300 million guns in the United States.

There are over five times more murders by knives than by rifles.

The U.S.

has the highest gun ownership rate in the world, but ranks 28th in gun murders.

That's a rate of 2.97 deaths per 100,000 people.

Handguns are responsible for more than 80% of total mass shootings.

Between 1993 and 2003, gun ownership increased by 56%, while gun violence decreased by nearly half.

Since 1950, nearly all mass public shootings have occurred in gun-free zones.

From 2013 to 2015, the six states that banned open carry actually experienced higher rates of police death.

86.4% of 20,000 police chiefs and sheriffs support concealed carry and are overwhelmingly against further gun control.

Those that have concealed carry permits, on average, commit less crime than police.

Hmm, imagine that.

Yeah, what does that mean?

There is a clear correlation between higher firearm ownership and reducing police killings.

Switzerland, a nation of about 8 million, is armed with an estimated 2 million guns in circulation with limited gun legislation.

Switzerland's overall gun homicide rate is practically zero.

Gun ownership does not correlate with the homicide rate.

Interesting.

I haven't, I just kind of blindly blindly chose a side on the whole issue without really thinking about facts.

I mean, I'm going to be honest, for me, I don't really like go to the main news sources because a lot of it's always like pushed by an agenda.

You know what I mean?

So,

you know, to get like the real facts, you always have to do more research.

I mean, it definitely makes me want to do more research about...

like everything that's happening with gun violence.

It's interesting to actually take the time and see what the facts say as opposed to what I personally feel.

I didn't know a lot of that.

Yeah, pretty much all of it.

Gun control does not really mean crime control.

But it's not really up to the guns itself that's going to cause harm to people.

It's really about the bad people.

I mean, it boils down to people.

No.

It's interesting, isn't it?

You can watch that video at theblaze.com.

It's remarkable to see them as they're they're reading these things.

You can see them going, wait, wait, this is not working out the way I thought it was.

Now, there are very few statements of opinion in there.

I mean, the overwhelming majority of those are just straight out facts that you can't really argue with.

You can make other points that you think defeat those, but the bottom line is those are truthful statements.

This is something that you should take and share with all of your friends.

Again, you can find it at theblaze.com, but you should share this with all of your friends.

You can also share the book Control.

It is

a.

Who wrote that?

Who wrote that?

I'm just looking at factory.

Sources are important to me.

I did.

I wrote that.

Oh, that did not help your case.

Yeah, well, every single fact in it is footnoted.

I love the crime stats and the gun stats because they're usually from the FBI and the Justice Department.

Is that a thing you could say now?

No, I guess

anymore.

I guess not.

I guess not we're allowed to do that.

I guess not.

I know.

All right, I want to tell you about Liberty Safe.

Liberty Safe makes great safes, but now they also make it easy to own one.

At LibertySafe.com, you can buy a Liberty Safe at a great price and receive a 12-month interest-free payment with zero down and zero APR.

They even offer Liberty Safes for as low as $20 a month.

Liberty has been with me for, I think, almost 10 years now, eight years.

And I have to tell you,

there is nothing like owning a Liberty Safe.

And there is nothing like being able to talk to you about a Liberty Safe because they are just so rock solid.

In the last eight years, we have literally seen this thing picked up by a hurricane, I mean a tornado, and dropped a couple of blocks away.

Still intact.

Door still closed.

Everything's still fine inside.

We've seen a house in California burn all the way down.

Only the chimney and the safe were remaining.

It's amazing.

Liberty Safe.

Great in-home delivery service, unmatched in the industry.

And

they are

made here in America.

Do what I did.

Have it installed in your home.

12 months interest-free payments for as low as $20 a month now on approved credit.

Act now.

Your valuables are always protected with a Liberty Safe at LibertySafe.com.

The best-built safes on the planet.

Go there now, LibertySafe.com.

Glenn back Mercury.

Glenn back.

Well, not everybody got a chance to speak.

You know, because it's not a march for our lives.

It was a march

for gun control, which is actually a

march for

fascism.

I mean, it really is.

It was aligned by the same exact people who did not have a problem at all with all of the executive orders and everything else.

They didn't have a problem with that if it was done by Obama.

But now they are saying that President Trump is a fascist.

I had a problem with executive orders and everything else

all the time.

Under Bush, under this guy, under Barack Obama.

I got a problem with them.

They don't.

They don't.

They have a problem with it if it's under somebody from the GOP.

And I can't imagine you're saying that, you know, I'm afraid he's a fascist.

Let's give him all our guns.

What are you thinking?

How does that even work in your head?

How do we know that it really isn't about the safety of our children

and doing

It's not about doing something.

It's about doing something very, very specific.

Ask the family of the murdered Parkland student that wasn't allowed to speak at the rally.

Marshall program, which was registered and implemented in Florida, and which would allow properly trained officers and

veterans and unemployed veterans to acquire the training to protect our schools because we've seen in Maryland that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a a good guy with a gun.

And it really concerned me as to how come we did not see

you would have liked more armed guards at the school.

Absolutely.

I mean, we saw it in Maryland.

He stopped the shooter.

He did his job.

And had the cowards of Broward done their job,

I think that the count in Parkland would have been much lower.

We saw that in Maryland, that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun.

The only way to stop an active shooter on campus is to have another person to eliminate him.

Okay, the cowards of Broward.

So he wasn't allowed to speak.

That's Kyle.

He wasn't allowed to speak.

But

neither was Andrew and Hunter Pollack.

The hatred and sickness that fuels a killer to kill innocent students is something most of us will never understand.

But that doesn't mean it's something we can't ignore.

We need to be on a mission to stop these monsters before they take action inside our schools.

We must demand our leaders to help those who are sick, but we must also demand that they protect those of us who are not.

In closing, I ask you to say my sister's name to yourself.

It's such a beautiful name, Meadow.

If you say her name, it's impossible not to feel the beauty of who she was and who she will always be.

Meadow, it makes me think of a sunny day like this one, a day where the sun shines on our youth

and shines on our desire to live a safe and happy life.

I can feel Meadow right now.

She's asking us to come together.

She wants us to thank my families and the parents of the victims like my dad Andrew and Mr.

Ian Petty.

And all the others are turning their grief into something positive.

She says, thank you for continuing to fight for the survivors and students of all ages.

Meadows asking us to be smarter and the love and to share the common denominator we share.

So

here is

what's wrong with that message.

What's wrong with that message?

Why can't that be shared?

That can't be shared because they don't stand on gun control.

They're not popular.

This isn't about taking care of our kids.

This is solely about gun control.

And it is orchestrated by very powerful, very left people.

Glenn Beck Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Well, we have John James.

He is running for the U.S.

Senate,

and

he's a Ranger qualified aviation officer.

He served with distinction to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

He has earned the Combat Action Badge, two air medals, among other awards, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I think this is, he's a, he's, quote, a lean six Sigma black belt, so we've got that in common.

And he's now running for

Senate.

Hello, John.

How are you?

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm doing great.

Thanks for having me on.

So tell me.

Tell me why

you would want to move to Washington and be in the Senate.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Can I answer honestly for you and your listeners here?

I don't want to go to the swamp.

I think anybody who wants to need to have their head examined.

But I am doing this because I have a passion for service.

That's what led me to leave

my privilege, my blessings,

the blessings from God that I've been given when I was 17 to enlist in the military in the first place.

Because I understood that too many people have died for my rights for me to sit on my tail and do nothing to give back.

So I worked my way into West Point after enlisting for a year.

I graduated from West Point in 2004 and I became a Ranger qualified Apache pilot who had the honor to deploy in Operation Iraqi Freedom and lead some of the best men and women this world's ever known into combat and bring them back.

We fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom 07-09,

flying patrol missions, air reconnaissance patrol over Baghdad.

And it was there actually that I was struck.

We were going through the Great Recession all over the country, but no place was hit harder than Mission.

And so while I'm over fighting fighting for Iraqi freedom, I get images beamed back to me while I'm sitting in a dining facility, images that look

of home, Michigan, Flint, Detroit, Muskegon, Saginaw, areas of my home that look worse in the combat zone I'm flying in.

And I said, this cannot be in my America.

And so I resolved that when I got done fighting for Iraqi freedom, I'd come back home and fight for Michiganders.

And what did Michiganders need?

Coming out of the Great Recession?

We needed jobs.

We need opportunity.

So I joined the family business, Automotive Logistics Company, and was able to deploy some of the skill sets that I learned in the military to lead culture change, to lead investment in talent technology, to grow my company from 35 million to 137 million and add 100 additional jobs.

I believe that my passion for service,

understanding how to bring people together to get results and accomplish mission, and understanding how to do this and achieve this from the battlefield to the boardrooms, what we so need in Washington.

And I'm answering the duty to go back and continue my service.

And you can learn a little bit more about this on johnjenstworthsenate.com.

Well, you got it.

You got it all in.

You got it down.

All right.

So, John, you're running in Michigan.

You're running against Stabenow.

Why should Michigan change from Stabenow?

Well, you know, I could effectively run on her record when you consider what she hasn't done in 43 years of elected office and 20 years in Washington.

There is no better

example of somebody who's increasingly disconnected from the needs of Michiganders.

When you have a sitting senator who

has just recently been shown that she is serving, she's on her at the end of her third term, she's polling below 50%, below 50%, and a generic Republican

is polling at 45%.

Honestly, John, that's because, I mean, you know, at least she's a woman, woman, you know, you're a white man.

Well, I'm definitely not a generic Republican.

I'm a 36-year-old African-American man.

Oh, gee, you're an African-American.

I thought we only ran.

I thought the only conservatives were white old men.

Well, I'll tell you what.

My values are faith and family, God and country, and service before itself.

I'm a Republican because I'm conservative, not the other way around.

And my values don't belong to any particular political party.

I'm running because I have a passion for service, and I want to do more for the people of the state of Michigan.

And I'll tell you what, by running somebody like me who can broaden the back of the elephant to include millennials and minorities the way no other candidate can, I believe we have an opportunity not just to win this seat, but to get a massive win for our party for generations.

So who are the people, John, in the Senate that you admire that you would say that these are the people I want to hang out with?

Well, I say Tom Cotton does a good job sticking to his guns and

delivering on conservative principles.

He's also a veteran veteran as well.

And I think that by getting more veterans on the look, as I travel around the state, really, I have to tell you,

all the chaos is people

want somebody who understands how to keep Americans safe because they've done it before on the floor of the U.S.

Senate as the world becomes a more and more dangerous place.

And someone like Tom, I believe, does a great job.

So

I have, you know, I've seen reports that military guys, when they get in, they're much more likely to expand the power of the government because it's what they know as opposed to limit the power of the government.

Well, I would also say that I'm not a one-trick pony.

I also understand what it's like to run a business.

I also understand what it's like to run a business

in Detroit coming out of a recession.

And I understand also from seeing the fraud, waste, and abuse.

Our government is so wasteful.

I believe that getting back to the best government, being at the state and local level, and understanding on the federal level that we, the people, have not delegated certain authority to the federal government, 10th Amendment.

I didn't write it.

It's James Madison.

But understanding when you swear an oath, support, and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, it requires people to have the discipline to actually follow through on that.

I truly believe that having, it's not just about the veteran, but it's about the actual person who you're voting for.

And candidates matter.

I do have a military background, but I also understand how our government is supposed to function.

And not only am I a veteran, but I'm also a businessman who understands that our country is great because

of our capitalistic system of self-determination that allows everybody to achieve the American dream when the federal government stays out of the way.

I see here that Debbie Stabenow votes with Chuck Schumer about 95% of the time.

What would you do?

Like 85, 90?

What's your expected percentage?

Well,

you know, I heard the other day on the trail that with numbers like that, Debbie is an enemy of the state.

And I have to tell you, I mean,

even if you are

a Democrat and you look at those numbers, you have to say that by the numbers, Debbie Stabenow has a solid A as a New York senator.

How does that represent Michigan?

It doesn't.

And for somebody

who says that she puts people before politics, it's a lie.

It's a lie.

And we have data.

Democrats are afraid of data.

But you know what?

Data doesn't care about your feelings.

And right now, the proof is that she votes with a New York senator, a progressive New York senator, and she's more aligned with the disconnected coastal elites than she is with the hardworking people of Michigan.

I will be aligned with the hardworking people of Michigan.

And you can find out more about my views on johnjamesforsenate.com.

You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter at John JamesMI.

I was looking at your website, which is great.

And

I'm realizing I'm really out of shape when I look at your picture.

It's just depressing me.

I think you're trying to inspire us, and I'm just depressed.

That's why you don't have a

lean, sick, sigma black belt like I do.

Like you do.

So,

John.

You know, you're right about,

I went to Detroit and I thought I've seen war zones that look better than this.

I can't believe it's an American city, and especially Detroit, the American city.

You know,

you're right.

And

in my father's lifetime,

Michigan was the place that people came for opportunity, immigrants who immigrated here correctly, the right way legally, who came here legally, and were able to come to Michigan to pursue opportunity.

And while the decades of

liberal mismanagement,

Michigan has been, and a lot, and most of this has been on Debbie Stavenow's watch.

She's either been in Lansing or Washington for the past 43 years, and she has been like Nero watching Michigan crumble.

I truly believe that by having somebody who understands national security and economic opportunity, and you mentioned the Lean Six Sigma black belt,

that is a

supply chain operations management discipline that focuses on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations.

I've worked in the largest government bureaucracy that we have, the U.S.

Army, and I've been successful in it.

I also understand how to be successful in business.

I understand how to make things more efficient and effective, and I understand how to ask the right questions.

And so I think that's a skill set that Debbie Stabenow has not she has not had the occasion to develop the skill set to qualify to be a senator in her 43 years in elected office.

I have from both the military and the private sector.

And I believe that we need to get better results, more results immediately for the people who've been suffering in the state of Michigan.

John James, running for the U.S.

Senate in Michigan against Debbie Stabenow.

And it's good to talk to you, John.

God bless and good luck.

Thanks so much.

He's trying to make that Six Sigma black belt like a Jack Welsh thing, please.

I didn't get my black belt from Welsh.

I don't think they, forget it.

I was going to be very mean.

Okay, so John James for Senate.com is the place to go at John James M.I.

And

he was great.

I mean, he's, it's an interesting,

I mean, I don't know if he can win, but that's what they said about Trump in Michigan, too, and he did.

So I think Michigan's not the Michigan it used to be.

I think Michigan has been like, you know what?

This isn't really working.

And Stabenow is one of the worst.

I mean, she is really on that far, far, far left side of the Democrats.

I mean, maybe they could embrace a more moderate Democrat, but

I'd rather they go a different direction.

And John James is a great one.

All right.

Thank you very much.

Let me tell you about Car Shield.

What did you do to my car?

Huh?

warranty, if you will, or a

Glenn Beck.

I don't hear

these headlines every day.

I've got two stories.

One is about the self-taught rocket scientist who blasted

self-taught rocket scientist rocket scientists.

Yes, right.

That's, you know, that's.

Do it yourself.

That's important.

YouTube is out there.

And the other one is the mother that crashed her car into a pole to prove to her kids that God was real.

Which one do you want?

Choose your one.

Let's go self-taught rocket scientists.

Okay,

a self-taught rocket scientist has blasted himself into the California sky

using steam-powered contraption that he built in his garage.

This is his first step in his long-term aim of proving the earth is flat.

Mad Mike Hughes, Mad's in

quotation marks.

Is that his nickname for himself, or is that perhaps a moment?

I think he might embrace that.

Yeah, he propelled himself 1,800 feet into the air

above the Mojave Desert in a homemade rocket before deploying his parachute and landing back to Earth with a bump.

He is a 61-year-old limo driver

who believes that the Earth is flat.

He says, am I glad I did it?

Yeah, I guess.

I probably won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, but at at least I can go and have dinner with my cats tonight.

This guy is...

This seems like the person, type of person who might be having cats for dinner.

It might be the kind of person that Homeland Security should keep an eye on.

The flat earther, who has spent around $20,000 pursuing his rocket dream since 2016, admitted he was relieved to finally have achieved his goal of following several aborted attempts.

You're not going to get it.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

You know, He had several attempts, and some people ridiculed him.

And he said he was tired of people saying I chickened out and that I really didn't build a rocket.

He said, I'm tired of that stuff.

So I manned up and I did it.

He said, you know, I don't know if you know this, but rockets can kill you in 10 different ways.

I bet there's more ways that a rocket can kill you than 10.

He said the California native was forced to postpone his takeoff and his attempt last year from an abandoned runway in a ghost town located about 200 miles east of Los Angeles due to his motorhome slash rocket launcher breaking down.

That does happen with a lot.

NASA's hit face that many times.

A lot of their mobile homes break down before shuttle launches.

So it's a motorhome slash rocket launcher.

And did I mention that the rocket is steam powered?

Well, it's going to be steam powered.

What else else are you going to do with it?

He said that he has a hard time getting permits for it.

I just go to the steam-powered rocket division of any local

government building.

Sure.

I actually find this to be a little inspiring, don't you?

So, what?

You know, you know, so what?

The earth isn't flat, and he's going to, he's not going to win this one, okay?

But he took 20 grand of his own money, built a steam-powered rocket, and shot 1,800 feet in the air.

Could you do that?

No, I know.

No, no, would I want to?

No, anyway.

Anyway, he he says he wants his next rocket will take him 68 miles up in space so he can photograph.

Wait, 1800 feet to 68 miles?

Yeah, you want a midstep in there somewhere.

I don't know.

No, he said, I, you know, do I believe the Earth is shaped like a frisbee?

I do believe it is.

I can't disprove it after months of research.

So he needs to get up into space and settle this once and for all.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.

Love.

Courage.

Truth.

Glenn Beck.

So, most of the reports over the weekend, if you were watching that in the mainstream media, it looked like the entire country took to the streets this weekend to protest the evil Second Amendment.

The March for Our Lives is what it was called.

Supposedly organized by the teenage survivors of the Parklands shooting,

it's so absurd that it's laughable to say that.

The march was slated to be a massive show of force against guns, which, according to march organizers, are the cause of school shootings.

No, they're really not.

The mainstream media has applauded the march, of course.

They've held these kids up on their shoulders.

CNN article said of the young speakers in Washington, D.C., the gathering for the event, they were defiant, they were outraged, and they were determined.

Wow!

Wow.

Did you ever hear that about the Tea Party?

That they were defiant?

That

they were determined?

That they were outraged?

No,

not unless it was a pejorative.

They had a resounding message for the lawmakers in Washington.

Enough gun violence, end quote.

Now, the celebrity donors this time around included George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg.

They all pledged half a million dollars each.

Gucci donated $500,000 and the Miami Dolphins $100,000.

May I ask, where was all this money after Sandy Hook?

Where were the marches and the protests?

Where were the similar non-stop screeds against President Obama?

How come?

Where were they?

To me, it seems like every weekend there's a new protest, a new cause for outrage.

And quite honestly, I'm kind of bored by it all.

If you took the media's word for it, it would seem like it was the country's largest events ever, and the country was largely in agreement.

Saturday's March, for example, hailed as one of the largest of its kind.

I read someplace.

It was the largest.

Really?

Because I saw the crowd, and then I remember the Tea Party movement.

I remember hearing that as inconsequential.

And there were more people at the Tea Party rally.

Organizers boasted that in DC alone, there were 800,000 people in attendance.

A tweet from the March for Our Lives account announced that more than 850,000 marched with us in DC.

Together, we're so powerful.

Together, we will, quote, hashtag throw them out, end quote.

An objective estimate of the crowd size determined by CBS News, actually a little over 200,000 people.

I have to tell you, There wasn't 200,000 people and there weren't 850,000 people.

It was about the size of the rally that we did, the Restoring Honor rally.

That was about 750,000, between 500,000 and 750,000.

It's still an awful lot of people.

Not when you have all of the organizations behind it that they had, but.

Still, people are people and numbers are numbers.

Oh, but wait a minute.

Hang on.

I forgot.

To the organizers of the rally, facts clearly don't matter.

It's Monday, March 26th.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Hello, America.

So glad that you're here today.

Did you see the, because we were in Los Angeles, I was in Los Angeles over the weekend, and I didn't really,

was there even a rally in Los Angeles?

I mean, nobody I was around even talked about it at all.

I didn't see anything on the streets.

I'm sure there was in Los Angeles, but.

Well, you know, the media noticed, though.

The media noticed.

Yeah, they were, they were, I was, I was interested because I saw a lot of, you know, on conservative Twitter was posting a lot of the controversial signs, the ones that they were mocking, you know, the religion of people and saying how,

you know,

there were blatantly left-wing socialist borderline communist messages and all these things.

I saw a few of those on conservative websites and I was like, you know, I wanted to see that list of maybe someone compiled a list.

So I searched for the worst signs for the March of Lives movement.

This is what came up.

Here are all the best signs for the March of Our Lives.

America, your children, not your guns, memorable signs from March of Our Lives.

Here are the best signs from March of Our Lives.

Here are the best signs from March of Our Lives.

What about these are all different sources, by the way?

Times, Slate, ABC.

What about the bad ones?

The best signs from March of Our Lives.

What about the ones?

Maybe you're looking for this one from Business Insider.

Here are some of the best signs from March of Our Lives protests.

No, I was looking for the bad ones.

Here's another one.

Student shouts out with some of the best signs from the March of Our Lives.

Can you imagine if the signs said, if we would have marched with signs when we went to the Rally for, not Rally for America, Restoring Honor, we didn't bring signs.

Had there been one sign, one.

that said something about Obama or said something about the other side, that's all they would have concentrated on.

Here there were signs that were horrible about Dana, Dana Lash from the NRA.

Personal attacks against her, her family,

because she, I mean, and let's be honest about it.

They don't know that Dana Lash has been around and done multiple bestsellers and had a successful radio show and TV show.

They know her from one interview she did on CNN, right?

And she is, her family and her are subject to incredible personal attacks for absolutely no reason for defending one of our constitutional rights on television.

If she doesn't want to be trashed, she should stop acting like trash.

She's the public face of a terrorist organization, and she spent last month attacking children who had been shot at.

Unbelievable.

Oh, wait, I got another one.

March for Our Lives, the most inspiring protest signs.

March for Our Lives, best signs from the rally.

Then you finally get to the worst.

The five worst takes from coverage for the 2818 March of Our Lives from Media Matters.

That's the next result.

Unbelievable.

I mean, it's incredible.

And it's like, you know, yes, are there plenty of people who went to that rally, plenty of them, who, you know, believe, I believe wrongly in the solutions to gun violence, but take it seriously and want to protect children, of course.

But that is not the way that they would cover it

in the other.

That's one of the reasons why you said no signs.

Because

the idea that something gets taken out of context, that

someone who is there brings a sign that is actually bad.

The idea that someone could bring a sign who does not even support the movement that is bad.

So he said, you know what?

No signs.

Let's just go there and

we'll have a normal person gathering.

Because, you know, when you go out and you talk to friends about issues, you're not bringing signs, right?

Signs are for show.

And this isn't supposed to be about a show.

Now, here is a bunch of people who brought signs.

Some of them were fine.

Most of them, though, were either, even the ones that were okay and not, you know,

you know, really offensive towards individuals were very mocking in tone.

And,

you know, that's just the way they did it.

You know, I mean,

if the Tea Party had done the same thing, it would have been

a massacre in the press.

It would have been horrible.

It would have been horrible.

And it's just frustrating because they don't even try.

You know, there are issues in which the press does what I consider to be a left-leaning job, but an okay job.

They're trying to present both sides.

They don't present the conservative side fairly, in my opinion, at times, right?

This is one.

They have abandoned all ideas of journalism.

They have just said, you know what?

We're right on this one.

We're not going to allow the other side at all.

We're going to squash it at every opportunity with very limited exceptions.

And there have been a couple of exceptions, but very limited.

This is an all-out advocacy campaign.

They cannot stop themselves.

They want this so

badly.

They can't help themselves.

They have turned into an absolute left-wing advocacy program for changes in gun control.

And they will use, including children, use anything

at their side.

They're really hurting themselves

by making this particular shooting as the one that

we're supposed to rally around.

I don't feel this

groundswell.

I feel a political groundswell for the left that they think that this is going to be so good.

I don't feel the average person in a groundswell here.

I do think this is manufactured a bit by the media.

They have tried so hard to turn these kids into celebrities.

And again, you've talked about this from back

good movements have done this, right?

You know, what was it?

It was the back of the box.

No, no, no, no.

No.

If you remember, Rosa Parks, right?

Wasn't it Rosa Parks?

And correct me if I'm wrong in the history of this.

I can't remember the exact interview.

She was not the first.

She was not the first person who did what Rosa Parks did.

The first person wasn't as.

The first person, person, I can't remember, may have been a teenaged and pregnant, or

there was some issue that they thought, that's all they're going to talk about.

That's all they're going to talk about.

And so, you know, whatever it was,

she wasn't the poster child.

And so Rosa Parks was not the first to do it.

No, but they held up Rosa Parks because she was a great example.

And I think that's what they're trying to do with these kids.

These aren't good examples.

No, I mean, the David Hogg thing in particular.

He's awful.

It's just terrible.

He is awful.

I think, and Emma, I can't think of her last name, who was another one of the faces of this many, but

she looks angry.

She looks like a revolutionary.

I mean, if you're trying to appeal to

the revolutionary left, you already got that.

You already have those people.

Yeah.

She's angry.

She's better than David Hogg.

Yes.

I mean, wearing a Cuban flag on your.

And again, you know, you can, there might be, maybe she has Cuban heritage or whatever, but still, you don't put a Cuban flag on her.

No, if you have Cuban heritage, you definitely don't put a Cuban flag.

Embrace, you know, that, what, that regime and what it's become.

And, you know, and I think with, with her, she's at least a compelling character in some ways.

He's like, he reminds me of, you know, for years and years and years, the left tried really hard to make Ron Reagan happen.

Not Ronald Reagan, but the son, Ron Reagan, who was liberal.

They tried for years and years and years and years.

And I think all conservatives looked at this and like, I get that his last name's Reagan, but you realize he's terrible right you realize he's really bad at this

and for years and years they tried it he reminds me of a 17 year old ron regan for some reason every time i see this guy because he's just you can tell he like yes has he has he read twitter and seen a lot of left-wing comments about guns yeah like he'll he doesn't obviously understand them and people were mocking him like crazy because They have now gone to saying you're going to have opaque or you're going to have clear

backpacks going to school when they go back to Parkland.

And he's fighting that because he can't believe that they would infringe on his rights to have a backpack that he can't see through.

Now, here's a constitutionally guaranteed right that he's done nothing but oppose since he's come into the public sphere.

And

he can't, for safety, have a clear backpack at school.

Well,

that's a step too far for him.

Hang on just a second.

It's absurd.

Hang on just a second.

Maybe it's just because he hasn't heard of the California school idea of a bucket of rocks.

I'm sorry?

A bucket of rocks.

Yes.

They care about school safety, and so they're going to put a 50, you know, a little five-gallon bucket right there by the door, and they're going to fill it with rocks.

And that way, if anybody comes in, kids get a rock, and you're supposed to throw a rock at the guy who comes in with a gun.

No.

What?

No, yeah, that's real.

No.

No, that bucket of of rocks.

A bucket of rocks, yeah.

What hate?

Oh my gosh.

Do you hate children?

I don't hate children.

I hate children.

You hate children.

I do.

Because I tweeted, oh, well, that's really great.

So they'll have a bucket of rocks in a bucket right there by the door.

They just have buckets.

They just have to go get the rock and throw that.

They have to, excuse me, sir, I need to get to the bucket.

So they have to get to the bucket of rocks and then throw the rocks.

And, you know, I tweeted,

you know, another logical, I mean, if that's your plan, why not just a a little bucket of little

child-sized coffins there by the door, too?

Because you could have that.

Because I think that will be just about as effective.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

But they don't like the

one.

They didn't like that one.

But they love the rock idea.

I want to get a real quick update from

Brandon Gillespie.

He is a student at Rockland High

that

his teacher

was dismissed for a couple of days until it was all sorted out because she said, you know, if we had a march for life,

you know, pro-life,

would the schools be okay with it?

So he met with the principal on Friday.

And what did you find out, Brandon?

Yeah, so

I met with my principal on Friday morning, and I went in there asking for the exact same accommodations that were given to the students who held the previous walkout on March 14th.

And he was unable to give me a direct answer whether or not I was able to hold a pro-life walkout at my school.

So he basically said that, oh, I'm going to have to go and talk to multiple people in the school district about this and stuff.

However, I know that that's not the exact same thing that happened for the previous walkout he just uh accepted the request and then they they were allowed to do it how do you know that so um because i've talked to uh people through that

held the previous walkout okay

all right so is there a school policy i mean does he have the the policy of what that procedure is is supposed to be can he give that to you

I mean, yes, he did give me some of the

school district policy, which includes that students have the right to exercise freedom of speech and press, including, but not limited to the bulls and awards and like a bunch of stuff on like a piece of paper saying that students cannot be

disciplined if they do decide to

conduct free speech during the middle of class time or whatever.

So he gave me that.

However,

previous to going into the meeting with him on Friday, I was pretty optimistic about it however after meeting with him i really don't think that it's going to happen however i i hope i'm wrong i hope that it does happen because uh if it if he does deny my request it'll show the blatant double standard that miss benzel warned us of the other week yeah um i wish i was optimistic uh like you were but i've never been optimistic on on uh the school um allowing you to do something in california that is pro-life uh so what are you planning on What are you planning on doing?

When's he getting back to you on this?

Yeah, so he said that, so right now we're on spring break, but he said that he has a meeting on Monday the 2nd.

So, he said that he's going to be getting back to me on that day.

Monday the 2nd.

Okay, great.

We will check back with you then on

Tuesday the 3rd and find out what

he had to say.

Thank you so much, Brandon.

Appreciate it.

All right.

Keep it up.

Do you see the Fed last week raised interest rates?

Again, interest rates going up.

That means you're going to pay more money for your mortgage if you have an adjustable loan.

It also means that you will

pay more for your credit card bills.

That's really not good.

If you have credit card bills and the interest rate goes up, are you going to be able to afford them?

Now is the time to consolidate any kind of loan that you might have.

Consolidate all of the high debt credit cards.

Call American Financing, see if they can help you with that.

It's 1-800-906-2440.

I would batten down the hatches as much as you can because the Fed isn't done raising interest rates, and I think they are misjudging things, but

I think they've been misjudging things for about 20 years now.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't know, since about 1913, I think.

Anyway,

I want you to call American Financing.

These people work for you, they don't work for the banks.

They're going to help you either refi, consolidate, or get a new mortgage for your house.

Call 800-906-2440.

But now is the time to act.

800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

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

Glenn Back Mercury.

Glenn Back.

Stu, just in case you didn't,

you know,

I know you.

I know you would believe me.

Of course.

The rocks thing.

It's actually not in California.

Looked it up.

It's Blue Mountain School District.

This is in Pennsylvania.

I want you to you to hear what they're doing in Pennsylvania and they routinely hold evacuation drills for active shooter simulations but if a teacher decides to lock down a classroom there are rocks in a five gallon bucket kept in every classroom's closet that a student could throw if a shooter gets inside and one time i just had the idea of riverstone they're the right size for hands you can throw them very hard and they will uh they will create or cause pain which can distract

i mean

can't discuss okay so that so So I have to tell you, per se.

So I have to tell you, this is actually, as much as I ridicule this, it is actually

not an entirely bad idea

to have

rocks or something.

I mean, the best idea is

if you're going to distract, okay, so distract, but then what?

You distract and then rush.

Okay, so if you're going to throw something, it's not a bad idea.

Grab whatever is in front of you, but kids,

go quick, go to the closet and grab the bucket of rocks.

What?

If you're going to have something, put a rock in everybody's desk or put it, whatever it is, throw something at it.

But then you have to rush them.

You can't just throw a rock at the person.

No, but if you, yeah, but obviously, if, if a bunch of, if you walked into a room and 30 kids threw rocks at the same time and rushed them, it probably would end it.

It doesn't mean no one's going to get hurt.

But that being said, though,

these things are being mocked.

We should talk about the Rick Santorum moment as well.

But the idea that instead of having 330 million guns, you'd have 340 million because it wouldn't affect any previous purchases with a ban.

Like, that's going to be better?

Like, how is that the rock argument is mocked, but that's not

Glenn back.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So, the rocks were not ridiculed by anybody on the left and

in fact offended by many people.

Well, what's your solution?

Well, okay, I mean, we can talk solutions.

We should definitely secure our schools like we do the airport or our banks.

I mean, my kids are more important to me than what we have at a bank, so we should secure it.

But we're not talking about that.

Nobody wants to talk about that.

I don't want it to feel like I'm in a prison.

I know, because I feel like I'm in a prison every time I go into a bank or an airport.

What are you talking about?

Every time I go to a concert, I feel like I'm in a prison.

No, I don't.

They act like they're already under incredible amounts of fear from gun violence.

So why would they all of a sudden be afraid of security?

That's such a weird stance.

There's a lot of them out there right now.

Yeah, it's just bizarre.

It's just bizarre.

Here's Rick Santorum.

Saying, you know, there are things that we can be doing that our kids could be doing right now in our schools that might help.

They didn't like this answer.

Much broader discussion than the discussion that's going on right now.

How about kids, instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that there is a violent shooter that you can do?

How are they looking at other people?

I would ask you, they took action.

Yeah, they took action to ask someone to pass a law.

They didn't take action to say, how do I, as an individual, deal with this problem?

How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community?

What am I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter?

What am I going to do?

Those are the kinds of things where you can take it internally and say, here's how I'm going to deal with this.

Here's how I'm going to help the situation instead of going and protesting and saying, oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me.

Okay.

They don't like that.

Nobody likes that.

Even the many people on the right don't like that.

They want to have somebody else fix it for them.

So they don't want to take personal inventory.

They don't want to take personal responsibility.

But he's being beat up because his answer to gun violence is take CPR classes.

So after everyone gets shot, you can hopefully save a couple of them.

How dare he?

How dare you do that?

I mean,

if your sheriffs are cowering someplace

and they won't let the ambulance service in,

it might have saved some lives if the kids knew how to stop bleeding or at least hold pressure down.

It may be.

Of course, CPR classes are always a good idea, whether you're scared of shootings or not.

But that is not Rick Santorum's answer to all gun violence.

Stop here for a second, though, and look at the other side.

I mentioned this briefly before the break.

The assault weapons ban would not cut the amount of guns in America.

Does anybody understand this?

Does David Hogg understand this?

Does any 17-year-old that keep propping up on television understand that the solution of an assault weapons ban would not limit the amount of guns in the country?

Even assault weapons.

Yeah, 330 million assault weapons right now.

I mean, weapons overall, give or take, 350, some of the evidence estimates are.

So what would happen in this situation?

This would not target previous purchases of assault weapons.

It would only target future purchases.

So all the assault weapons that already exist, 5 to 10 million AR-15s, for example,

they already exist and would remain on the streets.

So

that's point one.

Point two, as soon as you got close to this and this actually felt like it was really going to happen, everybody who is a gun owner and whoever has thought about about buying an AR-15 is going to rush to the store to buy an AR-15.

You will not be able to make them fast enough.

Real world example of this is our own Pat Gray, who in 2012, after the Sandy Hook thing, was convinced, as he's talked about on the air,

that they're going to come after the AR-15s.

They're going to come after their assault weapons, quote unquote.

I know that's a loaded term.

And he decided to go to Cabela's, I believe it was, and buy an AR-15.

Since then, he's told me, you know, I kind of just wish I bought a different gun, maybe a handgun or or something, because an AR-15, it's not really what I wanted, but I was just, you know, I was worked up over the potential of this going away.

Totally rational thought, by the way, because they tried, right?

They tried to get it to go away.

If you got close to getting this done, people would buy millions of these guns.

So there'd be even more assault weapons out there.

In addition to that, an assault weapon costs, what, $2,000.

Again, assault weapon, I keep using it, but AR-15, whatever, whatever weapons you're going to ban is going to cost what, $2,000?

Yeah.

$1,800?

Yeah.

Right.

What does a handgun cost?

$600.

$600, $400.

It depends.

I mean, I've seen them for even less, right?

If you're going to buy one AR-15 and you go to the gun store and you have $2,000 you're going to spend on an AR-15, you're going to walk in there and spend $500 on a handgun, what are you going to do?

You're probably going to buy two.

You might buy three.

You could buy four for the same amount of money.

So that's going to get even more guns on the street.

Likely, what you'd see is a large increase in the amount of firearms.

Guarantee you would.

Guarantee you would.

So what is a more insane idea that you take steps on your own to try to improve your reaction, maybe take these courses that they've talked about, even Sandy Promised?

The school.

Do those things that you can do.

And CPR is a good idea all the time.

But

would it affect this as well?

Sure.

Rocks aren't a bad idea if that's not your only

idea.

We have a constantly praised movement.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the country marching for something that would actually likely increase the amount of guns in the United States.

And we're supposed to act like that's going to be a solution to this problem.

It's completely bonkers.

And there's not one point of criticism, one point of pushback on any of these ideas.

It really is amazing.

Because the idea is you start here.

You just

start here.

It's just step one of

a long time solution, which will end in what they really want, which is no Second Amendment and no guns on the streets for people to actually use in their defense, for hunting, for pushback on a tyrannical government, whatever you believe you want to use your gun for in a certain circumstance.

They want them all gone, obviously.

So, Jeff Greenfield

wrote a pretty remarkable article in Politico this weekend that was called

How the Hollywood hit movie that urged FDR

to become a fascist was received.

And

it is, he says, a mostly forgotten film.

Well, yeah, it is forgotten, especially by the left,

because they,

you know, they don't, they don't ever want to be called a fascist.

Now, remember, the idea of progressivism is to

transform your country from a constitutionally restrained government to something where we can just get it done because somebody's got to do something.

Well, that was fascism, totalitarianism, communism.

Well, those were discredited in the 1930s.

And so now you didn't want to have a dictator because, well, that would be a bad thing.

But they never gave up on the policies.

They just don't know what to name it.

But

here's a quote.

Now, this is

a film, big critical success.

It was financed by William Randolph Hearst.

It was critically acclaimed and

successful at the box office.

It is about a president who is a bad guy being controlled by the parties, and

then

he's hit by a car or he's in a car accident, and he...

He's in bed, he's dying, but you see a light coming through the window, and then that light travels to him.

And it is called Gabriel over the White House because as his secretary once says in the movie I think the angel Gabriel came and possessed him and that's why he's so remarkable they're calling for his appeach impeachment about halfway through because he's starting just to take things into his own hands so you're gonna hear at the beginning a senator calling for impeachment and then it's gonna get quiet and everybody's gonna respect the president they're gonna stand up and he walks to the podium and listen to this Hollywood speech.

I speak for the majority of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Assured that President Hammond has been a traitor to his party, false to the principles on which he was elected.

I propose to demand from the House the impeachment, the immediate removal of the President of the United States.

Now, here comes the President.

He just walks in.

The President of the United States, may the rules be suspended.

I would like to dispense with all red tape so I can answer questions directly.

while I have the floor.

Unless there is objection, the rules of this Congress will be suspended.

Gentlemen, I am here as a representative of the American people in their hour of darkest despair.

A plant cannot be made to grow by watering the top alone and letting the roots go dry.

The people of this country are the roots of the nation and the sturdy trunk and the branches too.

You have spent $4 billion only to aggravate adversity.

I ask for $4 billion to restore buying power.

stimulate purchases, restore prosperity.

You have wasted precious days and weeks and years in futile discussion.

We need action, immediate and effective action.

Mr.

President, there is a movement in Congress for your impeachment.

Hardly time for making any requests, however small.

Very well.

I shall withdraw that request, but I would like to substitute another.

I ask you, gentlemen, to declare a state of national emergency

and to adjourn this Congress until normal conditions are restored.

During the period of that adjournment, I shall assume full responsibility for the government.

Mr.

President, this is dictatorship.

Senator Langham, words do not frighten me.

But the United States of America is a democracy.

We are not yet ready to give up the government of our founders.

You have given it up.

You've turned your backs.

You've closed your ears to the appeals of the people.

You've been traitors to the concepts of democracy upon which this government was founded.

I believe in democracy as Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln believed in democracy.

And if what I plan to do in the name of the people makes me a dictator, then it is a dictatorship based on Jefferson's definition of democracy.

A government for the greatest good of the greatest number.

This Congress refuses to adjourn.

I think, gentlemen, you forget that I am still the president of these United States.

And as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, it is within the rights of the president to declare the country under martial law.

Now, in this movie, he's treated as a hero.

He fixes everything, of course, but he fires everybody and suspends everything.

Now, this is in 1933.

If you read the Jeff Greenfield story this weekend about this, you heard only half the story, because I have the other half of the story that I'm going to show you tonight on television.

There were 12 copies of this book made.

They were made for FDR and his cabinet.

And

the 12 copies, there's only two left.

One is this one.

The other is in the National Archives.

Wow.

And it is 1936 Recovery and Re-election or Radicalism.

And when you read it, and it's all done by hand with color charts and everything else, you will see Recovery or Radicalism, a new civilization in the making.

And

pretty much,

they're calling

exactly for what this movie was calling for.

Plant the seeds, let it grow,

and then pass the legislation to get it done.

So there's a little chicken and the egg thing going on here because the way the story was written about this this weekend was Hollywood trying to convince the president to become a dictator.

Right.

You're saying that maybe there's some evidence here that it was FDR.

FDR was totally fine with becoming a dictator.

In that story, he mentions Walter Walter Lippmann

read Walter Lippmann from the time of Woodrow Wilson.

They had been trying to do that to make the president a dictator since the time of Woodrow Wilson.

This was to water the roots to get them to go, yeah, see, look, it can be done.

This is the actual evidence that they were trying to do it three years later.

So it can't happen here?

Oh, no, it can.

And it almost did.

We'll give that to you tonight.

5 o'clock only on the blaze.com/slash TV.

From hurricanes to cyber warfare to terror to riots, you name it.

I mean, we need to plan for an emergency

because we're going to have an emergency at some point.

And we've just seen FEMA, they had a FEMA come out and say that they can't provide

proper emergency management.

If the next big event happens, they're not prepared.

And so they said, this is right before Christmas, that every American needs to be prepared to take care of themselves.

Well, the best place to start is storing food.

It lasts up to 25 years.

Now, it's really, I used to think it was really hard.

It's really daunting to think, okay, how do I do this?

Then I found my Patriot supply.

My Patriot supply, everyone in your household this week and this week only can get a four-week emergency food kit for only $99 each.

Glenn back Mercury.

Glenn back.

It's amazing to read this

radicalism or recovery book that was outlined.

Only 12 copies were printed and made.

Only two exist.

One I have, the other is in the National Archives.

And they were only made for a select group of people that were trying to convince the president that you needed to spend a lot more money because dictatorship is on the way.

And

I love this.

And there are crazy people out there who just want to be the dictator of the United States.

And you're the only one, Mr.

President, with the personality and the know-how know-how to be able to do that and navigate.

So, we need to give you some more control, we need to give you some more money so you can direct to have recovery happen quickly.

It's an amazing thing.

We'll try to get into it a little bit here before we leave radio today.

Coming up next hour, Glenn Beck, Mercury,

Love, Courage,

truth.

Glenn Beck.

Defenders of Islam in the Middle East will claim that the Quran prohibits forced marriage.

They'll say, yes, yes.

It allows arranged marriage of children, sure, as long as they consent.

By the way, consent

includes silence.

Silence counts as consent.

In reality, forced marriage is sewn into the culture of many Islamic communities here in America as well.

Mohammed married a six-year-old, consummated the marriage when the girl was nine.

In Islam, the girl's father and the husband determine when the girl is ready for consummation.

And of course, everybody knows, you know, nine.

That's pretty much a good year.

It's happening now in America.

Last year, two Iraqi immigrants in Texas, San Antonio,

allegedly arranged for a grown man to marry their 15-year-old daughter.

The man would pay them $20,000 and take his bride to a new city in Texas.

When the girl protested, her parents choked her, choked her until she passed out.

When she woke up, she wouldn't be silenced, so they beat her with broomsticks.

Then they threw scalding oil onto her body.

In January, she just vanished.

Some people worried about her.

Some people, racist bigots, worried that maybe her parents had murdered her for a so-called honor killing.

Well, earlier this month, the girl reappeared.

She and her five siblings now are in the custody of child protective services, and their parents were hauled off to jail as police led them past a huddle of journalists.

Her father yelled, blaming his daughter for everything.

Of course, the mainstream media has largely ignored this story, ignored the girl's protests in favor of a narrative that views Muslims as supreme victims or harmless, peaceful sages.

Some, that's true.

Others, not so much.

We need to be able to tell the difference between them.

The campus feminists and all the Hollywood celebrities who rant about consent and women's rights, where are you on this?

I'm listening.

No rallies, no hashtags, not even a mention.

I thought you believed in women's rights.

I thought you believed in consent.

I thought you believed that men should not dominate women.

Are you going to stand up, Me Too, movement?

Are you going to stand up for this young girl's rights?

Will campus feminists like Linda Sarsour and feminist Beyoncé rally in her name?

Will anyone protest and march for her and the other girls and women who live in silence taking the beatings every single day.

When will we see a march?

American feminists, shame on you.

You're some of the most privileged people on earth.

When will you stand up for actual rights of women?

Sadly, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon because that's not what that movement is all about.

They're not actually about rights for women, they're about power and control in elections.

Who knows?

Maybe,

maybe someone will come up with a hashtag to make the terrors of Islam trendy enough for progressives to care about, but I doubt it.

They're too busy with their hatred of conservatives.

They're too busy with their hatred for Christians.

They're too busy.

They're too busy denying basic biology.

It's Monday, March 26th.

You're listening to the Glen Beck program.

So we have a couple of things here.

Stu, choose your news.

You ready?

I'm ready.

Power use rises during Earth Hour for first time.

I like that one.

That's pretty solid.

Mother crashes car into pole

to prove

God is real to children.

They're both good.

Choose your news.

I need to know how crashing your car into a poll proves anything about God.

Oh, you can't do the math on that?

No, I cannot.

Police say a mother intentionally crashed her SUV into a poll to prove to her two small children that God is real.

The investigators.

Did the investigators investigate why that would prove that God was real?

That's what I'm.

No, they just wanted to find out

what the accident was caused by.

And

the children

told the investigator that mom did it on purpose to show them that if they believe God would protect them.

So would protect them from the poll or protect them from surviving the crash.

Are you not a believer?

No, I think I am, but maybe I'm not maybe not enough, apparently.

Yeah, you because I've never crashed.

I've never intentionally crashed a car into a body.

God will save you from anything.

Well, because it's weird, because it seems like God, like a big part of Christianity is what happens after you die.

So I don't think he's necessarily saving you from an earthly situation every time.

The point is that there's something deeper than that.

Let me ask you this.

Are you a believer or not?

Yes, I am.

Okay, good.

Would you bring in the flamethrower?

Because God will save you from that if you believe.

And if you don't believe, you didn't believe enough.

I mean,

if you burn to crisp, you didn't believe enough.

So what you're saying is, if I float, you're a witch.

But if I drown, I'm not a witch and therefore cleared from that crime.

Correct.

That's a wonderful.

So if you believe,

I can't burn you to death.

Bring the flamethrower in.

Sitting in the car, her children explained what happened before the crash.

The officer said, do you think she did it on purpose?

Yeah,

said the seven-year-old.

Because she turned, her eyes were closed, and she was saying, blah, blah, blah, I love God, said one daughter.

She didn't want us to have a car accident.

She just wanted us to know that God is real.

Police.

Again, why would that prove that God is real?

That she crashed into a pole.

Like, I can understand saying, I'm going to close my eyes and I'm going to navigate this street and not run into a pole because God's going to guide me.

I can understand that logic.

I don't know.

I don't think it's a good

idea.

I don't know if she had the God is my co-pilot sticker.

So, I mean, if Jesus takes the wheel, like, I could get at least there's a sense to that that theoretically it would make sense.

Again, I would not recommend it right now.

If you're in your car, don't let Jesus take the wheel.

He wants you to drive your car.

I'm pretty sure that's true.

I think so.

But maybe it's that I'm not a big enough believer.

Well, is she

that

God will help me navigate the streets and then she ran into a poll, therefore disproving God?

Or

is she saying, hey, I'm going to crash?

Did they all walk away?

Did they all walk away?

I don't know.

You haven't included that detail.

No one was hurt in the accident.

Okay, so

officer said it could have been much, much worse.

I'm quoting, could have been a lot worse.

Could have been heavier traffic at the time.

She could have hit the pole at such an angle that she did more damage to the car, but she didn't.

You know why?

God was her co-pilot.

Okay.

She God navigated her into a lesser impact collision.

Yes.

I'm fine with that.

There you go.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

I mean, I protected the kids, even though the parents are dummy.

What was the thing about,

you know, don't tempt the Lord.

Don't, you know, you're not supposed to.

Taunt?

You certainly shouldn't taunt him.

Yeah, you're not.

You're not supposed to say, hey, Lord, I'll give you this.

You do this.

Hey, why don't I, you know what?

I'm really, really hungry here out in this desert.

Why don't you just turn this into a nice meal for me?

The sand.

Yeah, just so I can show you a magic trick.

So I could show my friend over here, who I don't think actually is your friend or mine, but I just want to show him that you're real.

So I'm going to fly off of this cliff.

No, God doesn't do that, and he doesn't want you to do that.

That's a bad idea.

I mean, perhaps she didn't have a deep doctrinal understanding of the scriptures.

Perhaps.

Perhaps.

Perhaps.

But the kids are going to learn a lesson about God they're never going to forget.

They won't.

They will remember that one.

They will remember it.

I don't know if it works out well, but they will remember the lesson.

Put this in your calendar.

Put this in your calendar for about 10 years because the seven-year-old will be 17.

And let's see if we can find her

in 10 years.

Because I'd like to say, hey, that whole thing with your mom, I know we're the only ones who remember it.

But

put this in the calendar.

How are you doing now?

What do you think about God?

I think pretty well is the understanding that I would have.

Story number two, power rises in British Columbia during Earth Hour.

Despite their best intentions,

British Columbians increased their power use during Earth Hour for the first time in a decade.

BC Hydroelectric says electricity use in the province rose 0.2% from 8.30 to 9.30 Saturday night compared to the same hour the week before.

Earth Hour is an annual World Wildlife Fund event that encourages people across the globe to turn off their lights for one hour to draw attention to climate change.

That used to be

global warming.

Now it's just climate change.

But let's remember, it used to be global warming.

Why did they change it?

Let me read this story, the rest of the story.

The increase in electricity is probably probably due to declining participation.

Also, colder weather in many parts of the province.

In BC Hydro report published this month, the Crown Corporation said seven in 10 survey respondents said they did plan on participating in Earth Hour this year.

But the Crown Corporation says it also marks the fifth year in a trend of declining participation in the province.

So when you call people up and you survey, seven out of ten are like, oh my gosh, yeah, recycle, uh-huh, uh-huh, and and turn off my lights, you bet, turn down the air conditioning.

Oh, my gosh, I don't, we're thinking about getting rid of our air conditioning.

Soon as they hang up the phone and they stop the survey, oh man, they are they're making plastic in their home,

they're making styrofoam and burying it out around their yard just because it'll never, you know, you got to just bury it all around.

So we can't, we don't, we don't want it all in one place, bury it all around.

And they're doing it with

a window air conditioner strapped to their back so they don't get hot.

But they'll tell you they're all into it.

Everybody loves the environment until it affects their life in any way.

As soon as there's a moment they have to lose any of their

niceties in life,

they abandon it.

This is one of the issues that the environmental movement is really having in that they are trying to figure out ways to tell people,

hey, you're involved, right?

You're doing something.

What you need to do is little steps.

Little steps will help.

Now, we all know little steps won't help.

We've talked about it.

Little steps do help.

They don't help at all.

Yes, they do.

They do not help at all.

They do.

They don't.

They do.

I will tell you why they don't.

I will tell you why they do.

Sure, let me start.

Number one.

Hey, you guys should drive less.

You should buy a hybrid.

You should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

If you turned off,

turned off every car and never let any of them run again, you would save about, and this is cars and trucks, by the way, the entire transportation sector.

If you turned it off tomorrow in the United States, you would serve, you would save about 20% of our emissions.

And you'd say, well, that's a

big deal.

Now, it would still have 80% of your emissions still going.

However, you'd save about 20% of the emissions.

The problem with that, of course, is that the United States is only about 20% of global emissions.

So you'd really, turning off the number one industrialized transportation sector in the world would save you about 4% or 5%

of global emissions.

Global emissions grow between 2% or 3% per year.

So you'd save yourself a couple years if you turned off every motorized vehicle in the United States.

That is not what they're asking you to do, right?

No one's saying that you shouldn't drive anymore because they know no one can do that.

They're saying, well,

you should get a more fuel-efficient car.

You should, you know, what you need to do is you need to unplug those plugged-in in

appliances when you're not using them.

None of this does anything, which is why they constantly express these statistics in things like cars taken off the road or, you know,

certain amounts of trees.

This is the equivalent of planting four million trees.

You know why they say it, though?

Because millions sounds high, but it means nothing.

Nothing.

Are you done?

I am done.

Now you're going to tell me why little things do make a difference.

Little steps.

Little steps.

I want you to hear me out.

Okay.

Okay.

Sure.

Yeah.

I owe that to you after you took my point very seriously.

I did.

I did.

I listened to the whole thing.

It was riveting.

So

you have a baby.

They come out, they pee and poop all over everything.

Yes, they do tend to do it.

You take the little step of putting a diaper on that child

because telling the child, hey, go to the potty,

go into the bathroom and sit on the crapper over there, baby Baby doesn't understand it.

So you first put the diaper on, then

you start to potty train them.

And after, like, I don't know, 14 years, they start to go crap where they're supposed to go crap.

But those little steps helped me all the way, so I wasn't cleaning up crap.

If I just wanted the big step, I'd have crap all over my house.

Yeah, the diaper is not

a miracle invention.

And let me tell you something else.

Big steps are even better when

they're running to the potty.

Big steps are better.

Little steps help.

Just saying.

No, wait a minute.

You said you would hear me out.

I did.

I did.

Now, all of those diapers are not exactly helping with the planet.

No.

But that's a completely different story.

The IRS released their annual dirty dozen list of tax scams and phone scans, the top of the list.

The most common scam,

somebody calling the house, posing as an IRS representative,

telling people that

you owe money and you have to pay, otherwise you're going to get a punishment, including arrest.

And we're on the way.

So you better make that payment now.

The other scams on the list peak during tax season, just as nasty.

Somebody, they're writing you or calling you and saying, you're in trouble with the IRS.

Don't believe them.

There are so many threats in today's connected world, and it takes one weak link to get criminals to start to just rifle through your stuff and start to scam you.

The good thing is, is there's new Life Lock identity theft protection.

Glenn Beck.

So I don't know if you know this, Glenn.

When you're a Supreme Court justice,

you're obviously a very important figure in our country.

Well, you know about scrunchies.

Right, exactly.

That's an interesting point you bring up because Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked about scrunchies.

Yeah, she says the best place to buy scrunchies.

I don't remember the order, but it was Greece, Rome, and London.

I think

that's where I get all of my scrunchies.

Right.

And my daughter goes, she's like, I need a scrunchie.

I'm like, oh, geez, we got to go to Greece again.

I told you to get more than one.

So that's an interesting question.

It seems like, and this is just a general perception of mine, and we need to fact-check this.

Sure.

It seems like if you're a left-wing justice,

you have the sort of treatment where they'll ask you about scrunchies when you do interviews.

Yeah, no, that was a really good article.

It went on and on and on and on and on about

what an icon

of

accessories she is.

And then on the other side, if you're a conservative justice, you're just pretty much asked how much of a racist you are.

Right.

Now, you're obviously a racist, Clarence Thomas, but how much of a racist are you?

Yeah, sure.

So Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on, this one was on Colbert's show.

And he said, I was told not to ask about any pending cases before the court, but I had to ask about one.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

She said, you tell me what a sandwich is, and I'll tell you if a hot dog is a sandwich.

Again, like this is typical legalese, like you can't even just answer the question.

Colbert described the sandwich as two pieces of bread with almost any type of filling in between, as long as it's not more bread.

Would you agree with that definition of a sandwich?

I mean,

kind of largely.

Yeah, you said two pieces of bread.

Does that include a roll that's cut open, but still not completely?

So, the question, her answer here was, is a hot dog a sandwich?

And she said, Hot dogs are

sandwiches.

Do you agree with that analysis?

Was she wearing a scrunchie from Greece?

I don't know.

This is important, though, because if you can put, if a hot dog is a sandwich, you're going to need to have a slice, like you have a slice of cheese you'd put on a sandwich typically, right?

That's why it's important to know.

Unless you're allergic to dairy products.

This is not an all-inclusive point I'm making here.

I should.

Was the bread made in a factory where nuts were also processed?

I don't know.

I don't know.

That's a good question.

That's a really important thing.

I will address the lactose intolerant side of this in in just a moment and the peanut people please there's there's a new kickstarter project uh it is called slice of sauce

and what they are trying to do is solve the idea that ketchup is sort of messy when you put it on your on your burger or your sandwich

so is it like a pad of butter it is a slice like a slice of cheese made out of ketchup Like you unwrap it from a plastic container and place it on top of it.

What kind of creepy plastic did they have to melt in the ketchup to get that to happen?

It's capitalism, baby.

No, it's plastic, Stu.

It's plastic.

Glenn, back.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Bloodthirsty Pat Gray is with us now,

who is, he loves to kill children.

Well, I hate children.

You do hate children.

Yes.

You have a lot of them, so you have a reason to hate them.

I do.

Yeah, that's true.

I mean, he's had it.

And I've tried to keep them as unsafe as humanly possible.

Right.

Because anyone can have one child and dislike that one child and think, okay, that's it.

I hate all children.

But you went the extra length.

You had multiple children.

Yes.

And you hated children.

Yes.

That's the extent.

to which my hatred goes, is that I had children just to hate them, which is weird.

I used to tell him to go and play in the gun range.

Oh, really?

Really?

Yeah.

I said the best place to do it, you know, is between where the people are shooting and the target in front of them.

Yeah.

Wow, because that's just a kind of grassy area.

He would just say, right there on the grassy knoll.

He would say,

because

I've shot with Pat, and I tried to explain, no, that's not the best place, but he would say, no, no, just

right there and wear camouflage.

So if, you know, if their backdrop was like, you know, brick or something, he dressed his kids as bricks.

Yeah.

And

they would play.

You lost how many kids that way?

14.

It was sad.

Yeah.

Sad.

Well, it's not sad for you because you don't like them.

Right.

Right.

And that's what I learned from the Washington Post today, by the way.

This is all based on a real pretty horrific quote they have from you.

I can't believe you said this because this is bad.

And the bigger issue is, you know, this is

the top video on YouTube when it comes to David Hogg is Pat Gray.

He's talking about David Hogg and trying to, I guess, expose a side of David Hogg people haven't seen.

And the fact that you would take the entire time of the video for one little quote that doesn't, it didn't cover any of your arguments about it.

No, they put up four minutes, and the only thing I said during that whole time was, dare I say it even?

Yeah, I mean, I mean, I guess stations,

just know have your finger on the button, and this company, the affiliates, me, my grandchildren, my ancestors do not agree, not necessarily agree with the following opinion.

Quote, and I'm quoting myself now:

it's hard not to just go after this kid, unquote.

Oh my gosh.

Now, around that was something about his arrogance and his incendiary rhetoric, and the fact that he doesn't know what he's talking about makes it, quote, hard not to just go after this kid.

So, what you're indicating there is you're not actually going after him.

Not actually going after him.

I'm just saying.

Despiking about shooting him.

No, no, no, no.

No, that's what I heard.

He says hard to go.

You're saying things about him.

How do I know you're just saying that?

How do I know you're meaning that metaphorically and not literally going after him?

He's probably just going to have to take it.

Do you own an AR?

Do you own an AR?

No, I gave that to the military.

I told you that a long time ago.

Remember, I donated all my weapons to the military.

Did you get a receipt for that?

I didn't.

I didn't even ask him for one.

I didn't care.

I trust him.

And I don't, it wasn't for the tax write-off anyway.

It was just because they'd experienced some cuts under Obama.

And I said, I want you to have this gun and the Glock I just bought.

And I gave it

both to them.

But if you just bought it, how did you donate it when the Obama administration was?

Well, I mean, it was just at that time.

I had just purchased it when I gave it away.

That is actually, this is that actual quote from this article.

May I just say this is how the Washington Post is just fake media.

They'll say he was lying and making that up

and he actually still has the Glock and the AR.

Yeah, they will.

That's fake news.

But in all seriousness, this has been Pat's issue from the beginning.

The shooting, which has been to

ever since the shooting.

Since they started talking about the shooting.

That's different than the shooting.

Thank you for that incredible clarification.

I just wanted to make sure that people didn't know.

I wanted wanted to make sure for the Washington Post that they didn't think as the shooting was going on, Pat's not saying, man, it's hard to not go after these kids.

Right, no, but Pat has been on this show, one of the largest radio shows in America, every day.

Pat hosts Pat Unleashed for three hours every day and has talked about this extensively.

Pat appears on the news and why it matters on the Blaze every single day and talks about this issue as well.

There are hours and hours and hours of nuance and points and backing up of those points, and arguing the other sides of those points that I have heard you personally make.

The Washington Post links to one video that has been edited and takes one quote in which you make none of the arguments.

We don't make any of the points, there's none of the nuance.

I understand they can't include every point you've ever made.

Right, but these nine words

are the most relevant, unreal.

It's crazy, it's unreal, it's just crazy, and you know, I mean, if that sit-down in his dining room or wherever that was and his F-bomb lace tirade against the NRA and how everybody's got blood on their hands and splattered blood from children on their faces and all that kind of stuff, if that doesn't show you that these kids are somewhat difficult to love, unless you're a left-wing nutjob who enjoys 17-year-old kids making gun policy and setting fire to the Second Amendment, I mean,

it's not that.

That makes them difficult to love?

For me, yes.

That makes them difficult to love.

Difficult to love.

There's an eye quote.

Difficult.

All these things make them difficult to love.

To love.

Not that I don't love them.

It's just difficult at times.

Right.

Because, I mean, look, if you were hiring at a fast food restaurant,

you're hiring at Hardee's, and a 17-year-old comes in, ambitious for a job, and comes in and starts dropping F-bombs all throughout the interview.

Does he get that job?

No.

No.

Yes.

Maybe he does, Mr.

Washington Post.

You're just being contrary to it.

No, he's a victim.

Okay.

He's a victim.

Well, there are a lot of victims of mass shootings.

And so I guess your point there is that we need to listen to them, right?

But you need to listen to the victim.

You can't criticize a victim of a mass shooting.

We can all agree on that.

Correct.

Agree on that.

Which is interesting because I was just going through the internet and seeing a lot of criticism for Jesse Hughes,

who is the lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal.

You may remember him from the band that was on the stage in the Paris shooting where 89 people were killed, including

his manager?

Horrific gun violence.

No, no, he was the reason all those people were there.

Well,

that's the way to twist it.

None of those people would have been killed if he wouldn't have been on stage.

He holds a great deal of responsibility.

So, this is the worst, the second worst mass shooting in history.

Now, again, there's an asterisk on that.

All of the 100,000 worst mass shootings in history are from the government against its unarmed citizens.

But if you take all of those out, you get Norway number one and I believe Paris number two for the worst ever.

None of those locations in the United States, by the way, just point that out.

But here is what he said.

He said, obviously, the best thing to do to combat chronic abusers and disregarders of the law, like the law against murder, is to pass another law.

Genius.

But before we pass this law, we're going to denigrate the memory and curse ourselves by exploiting the death of 16 of our fellow students for a few Facebook likes and some media attention.

And look how well civil rights abuses,

how well civil rights abuses as it concerns to firearms helped protect me and my friends in Paris.

Wow.

This almost sounds like the plan of like a kid or maybe like a high school student.

Oh, wait, that's right.

The Whitney Houston song about letting the children lead the way wasn't actually an operating paradigm for life.

That's one of the greatest lines of all time.

Wow.

And it goes on and on and on.

And yes.

And yet.

he lured people into

their own

ambush.

Yes.

He lured them in like the pine piper.

Yes, he did.

And by the way, again, how look, David Hogg is any normal person, even if you believe in dung gun control, is going to say that he's been inappropriate at times, right?

Some of the signs we went over would

Marco Rubio is a kid killer.

I mean, there's all sorts of stuff that's completely over the line here.

But he's received almost no criticism from anyone.

You can't criticize him.

This is the paragraph that leads in to the quotes I just gave you from Paste magazine.

If you can bear to stomach it, the entirety of Hughes' rant is below.

The life-altering horror of what Hughes endured and witnessed in Paris cannot be overstated, which is why casting shame on the young survivors of another mass shooting seems debased even for him.

I mean,

he's getting, of course, the criticism and pushback that David Hogg would never receive.

Right.

And, you know, look, I think his points are pretty good.

His points are great.

I mean, at least, frankly.

At least the ones that we went over there.

I mean, you can't solve these things by passing new laws.

Paris has gun laws that the gun control that David Hogg would dream about passing in the United States.

And here it is, the second worst mass shooting of all time, despite all the others.

I notice you guys are avoiding the real issue.

Is it with you today?

I noticed that neither of you want to talk about the real issue.

Which is.

Well, I wasn't going to mention the Stormy Daniels thing at all because I watched it last night.

I don't think there was anything new there.

The only thing new was it was just a one-off.

Yeah, one-night stand.

No, it was just a one-night stand.

I thought it was a six-month thing.

So it's better.

It's better.

Yeah.

It's better than I thought it was.

I mean, the threat is there.

The threat is there.

That's a new stand.

Yeah, but that's broken.

They kind of leaked that last week, so we already knew about that.

But what a nebulous threat that is.

I mean, it's impossible to prove if that ever happened.

It's impossible to prove.

But it's not nebulous if someone leans in your car and says, oh, it's a beautiful daughter.

No, no.

I mean, mean, if the threat happened, it's ugly and terrible.

But I just, I have my doubts.

Cohen has said similar things on the record to reporters.

Well, true.

This is the M.O.

Yeah, I mean, he did that.

He said he would make their lives a living hell.

You'll wish you were never born.

All right.

This is what he does.

Just, just, just hear me out on something.

What was the thing?

Because I read a headline.

I did not read the news because I don't care.

I read a headline today.

Donald Trump outraged by

TV show last night, 60 minutes.

Really?

Was he?

There was one line.

Did you watch it?

The TV show.

60 Minutes, yeah.

So there was one thing that was said that I think

was just to piss him, just to get him on Twitter.

And he didn't do it.

I was proud of him.

He didn't do it.

What was it?

What was the one thing that was said last night that was just like, this will make him move?

Has to be that she didn't actually.

She didn't find him attractive.

Yeah, she wasn't attractive to him.

Yeah, that stuck out to me immediately.

Immediately.

That was just said.

That would have pissed him off better.

That pissed him off.

Oh, yeah.

And they're trying to get him to move.

Now, here's the latest.

Do we have the audio of the

yeah, here it is.

Is there anything left out of her interview, something on the cutting room floor, that you feel is relevant and could share now?

Not that I'm prepared to share now, but what I will say is that she was prepared to discuss intimate details relating to Mr.

Trump.

She can describe his genitalia.

She can describe various conversations that they had that leave no doubt as to whether this woman is telling the truth.

And if she's not telling the truth, let the president take to the podium and call her a liar.

Let the president come forward and say it never happened.

There is a reason why this $130,000 was paid.

And it wasn't paid because she made the story up.

It's absurd.

So she can pick his weeder out of a lineup.

Is that what we're led to believe?

Can you get him to do that?

Now that would be interesting, wouldn't it?

Yeah, no, that would be.

Well, they did that to Michael Jackson.

They did, yeah.

Yeah.

They had to pull down his pants.

The only wiener test I have ever heard of is with Michael Jackson.

Yeah.

This is just an effort to taunt Trump

responding.

I think to taunt if he said she could describe him and she's like, it ain't very big, then you know she's just doing this to taunt him.

Oh, man.

Yeah, she's just doing this to taunt him to taunt him.

And so far, he responded in a generalized way, a little bit on Twitter, saying that, like, there's a lot of fake news out there more than ever, but the country's doing great.

Like, he's not gonna, but he has not addressed it directly.

And this is all Stormy Daniels and his attorney are trying to do it.

That's all they want to do.

That's all they want to do.

Just try.

She didn't really like him.

He's not very attractive.

He's not good with women.

He's going,

he doesn't have a lot of money.

Told me he didn't have a lot of money either.

Everything they try to set him up.

Everything.

By the way, my Twitter handle is

Pat Grandleash, if you want to hear some more bashing of innocent children for sport.

That's coming up.

He's actually bloodletting them.

Oh, really?

And then making matzah out of their blood.

I've read that in a book.

I didn't know Pat did that as well.

Yeah.

He just does it for sport.

Yeah, that's what he said.

He said, it's hard just not to do it for sport, but he does it for sports.

Yeah.

He'll be joining with Dana, too.

She's going to be eating the matzah.

matzah anyway

i want to talk about a new sponsor um new sponsor that we have i uh

i i want to tell you i love the story of filter buy here's the thing um

david is right after i think it was 2013

and his father and grandfather had uh built a um

built a company down, I think it was in Alabama.

And

they knew that the company was just not gonna, I mean, it was a textile company, and so it was going under, and the whole town worked at this textile company.

So, he went in, and

he thought, what can we do to keep the business open?

What can we do to breathe in new life?

Well, they not only breathed in new life to it,

they have expanded, and it's unbelievable what they did.

Because of 2008, it was decimated.

And so they went into the air filter market.

I don't know when the last time was you changed your air filter, but you need to change them quite a bit, and they're a hassle, and you got to go to the store and everything else.

You don't have to do it this way.

You can just buy a one-off.

You can just go to Filter Buy, and within 24 hours, they will have the filter there.

And all you have to do is just, you know, exchange the filter, and then you're done.

You don't have to go to Home Depot or whatever.

You can have it so it comes every three months or six months or whatever you choose.

And that way it reminds you because I forget about my air filters.

You could say if I had to remember myself,

I wouldn't have changed them since I lived here because I would have forgotten.

Anyway, 600 sizes available, including custom options.

You're going to find the best filter for your home, for your business.

It's Filter Buy.

Glenn Beck Mercury.

Glenn Beck.

I want to play something from CNN.

This is as close as you got to fair.

Allison Camerata on CNN tries to defend Rubio, but she can't really bring herself entirely there.

Listen.

I mean, look, I'm not a Marco Rubio spokesperson, but now that I've heard what he's doing behind the scenes, he is sponsoring all of these various bills, two of which were part of the omnibus, and so things are happening.

And all I'm suggesting is that maybe your ire is misplaced,

you know, since he is actually trying to work across the aisle.

Yeah, I think it's a great step that he's trying to work across the aisle, but I think so long as he's supported by the NRA,

no matter what he does, there's always going to be loopholes in anything that he does.

Because we've seen again and again, we've passed gun legislation in this country.

And at the end of the day, you can pass as many laws as you want but if those laws are not very strong and they have so many loopholes that the NRA works so hard to ensure or they're not enforced they aren't going to be strong enough or they're not enforced why not enforce the laws back mercury
