Speaker 1 The Blaze Radio Network.
Speaker 1 On demand.
Speaker 3 Love. Courage.
Speaker 9 Yesterday, the FBI arrested a Saudi immigrant who is living in Weatherford, Oklahoma.
Speaker 13 It's about 70 miles west of Oklahoma City.
Speaker 20 While the rest of the press is worried about, you know, who is going to leak what, why don't we talk about the things that actually matter?
Speaker 21 This Sardi is charged with visa fraud, but what was he really up to?
Speaker 16 Because the back story is troubling.
Speaker 17 The man has lived in the U.S.
Speaker 9 since 2011, and the FBI has been watching him for the past five months.
Speaker 13 So far, the FBI hasn't said much about what he was under surveillance for, only that they were trying to determine whether or not he was involved in terrorist activities here in the United States.
Speaker 27 Oklahoma, like it or not, has been a hotbed of this kind of activity for a long time.
Speaker 29 Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this man's story regarding his activity in the U.S.
Speaker 9 is that he obtained his pilot's license in 2016.
Speaker 34 Now, whether he got the license for nefarious purposes or not, it led to his arrest.
Speaker 21 As a non-U.S. citizen, he had to submit his fingerprints as part of the licensing process.
Speaker 12 Remarkably, the FBI was able to match his fingerprints with prints on a document that was captured in Afghanistan.
Speaker 41 Think of that.
Speaker 27 If we ever want to say that the FBI or our government is
Speaker 33 inefficient, just remember that.
Speaker 45 The captured document was an application for admission to al-Farouk, which was al-Qaeda's most notorious training camp.
Speaker 20 Four of the September 11th hijackers were trained at Al-Farouk. Admissions to the camp required an invitation to join and a reference from someone al-Qaeda knew and trusted.
Speaker 20 So far, authorities haven't disclosed whether this man actually trained at the camp, but he apparently filled out the application in 2000.
Speaker 16 The camp was destroyed by the U.S.
Speaker 23 bombing campaign in the weeks after the 9-11 attacks.
Speaker 36 The FBI got lucky with this one.
Speaker 9 It has hundreds of thousands of captured documents, photographs, email, phone number, fingerprints, and DNA samples stored in Northern Virginia and FBI headquarters in Washington that have not been researched.
Speaker 58 The agency lacks the resources to process this trove of material collected in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past 17 years.
Speaker 59 Good job, FBI.
Speaker 27 The Saudi man in Oklahoma was a good catch by the FBI.
Speaker 9 But this episode highlights the fact that there is still a mountain of work to be done in counterterrorism and a lot of holes yet to plug in this immigration system.
Speaker 61 The federal government is set to borrow a trillion dollars this year.
Speaker 63 How much of that is actually earmarked for important
Speaker 56 stuff, like catching terrorists on American soil.
Speaker 1 It's Wednesday, February 7th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 61 See, this is the thing that really bothers me about all of this is
Speaker 12 We're not talking about the things that matter most.
Speaker 10 You know, we're really not.
Speaker 66 We are bogged down in this
Speaker 39 nonsense day after day after day after day that's all political.
Speaker 64 For instance, I'm going to set Stu off and I apologize for this.
Speaker 12 For instance,
Speaker 19 what happened yesterday with General Kelly?
Speaker 71 That's infuriating.
Speaker 72 The media has been beating up on
Speaker 73 chief of staff now, John Kelly,
Speaker 2 who
Speaker 73
made a comment. He was very critical of, you know what, doesn't like the Mexicans.
The guy doesn't like the Mexicans.
Speaker 76 You can see it in his eyes.
Speaker 77 He came out and said they're all lazy.
Speaker 73 And the media is reporting it basically like this.
Speaker 79 You know, he, I mean, headline after headline is John Kelly calls DACA recipients lazy and they need to get off their asses.
Speaker 71 And that's all you hear.
Speaker 80 Now, that comes from a piece of audio where he did say that.
Speaker 82 We have this audio yet.
Speaker 78 Yeah, this is the new clip from
Speaker 78 Kelly.
Speaker 83 There are 690,000 official DACA
Speaker 83 registrants, and
Speaker 83 the president sent over what amounts to be two and a half times that number to 1.8 million.
Speaker 83 The difference between 690 and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy. to get off their asses, but they didn't sign up.
Speaker 83 So the president shockingly said, okay, 1.8 million. And then probably the biggest shock was in a path to citizenship.
Speaker 83 That's beyond what anyone could have imagined.
Speaker 84 Now, this guy.
Speaker 85 Yes, he said.
Speaker 86 Look out, America. Here he comes.
Speaker 65 Yes, he said.
Speaker 88 Some of them may be too lazy to get off their asses.
Speaker 79 In fact, what he said is some people are saying.
Speaker 73 that some are too lazy to get off their asses.
Speaker 90 But he gives two choices there.
Speaker 92 And if you might notice, what he's giving is the left-wing case and the right-wing case.
Speaker 94 The left-wing case is they were too scared to go sign up.
Speaker 92 And the right-wing case is they were too lazy to go sign up.
Speaker 90 He's sort of, you know,
Speaker 75 giving a little bit of a caricature of these two arguments.
Speaker 29 He's giving the fringe cartoon arguments on both sides.
Speaker 81 I don't know. Maybe some were too lazy to get out their asses.
Speaker 92 Maybe some were too scared.
Speaker 94 Whatever.
Speaker 100 Bottom line is Trump just gave it all to them.
Speaker 75 So it doesn't matter why they would not sign up.
Speaker 85 Trump just gave it to them anyway.
Speaker 99 But of course, the media is not saying that he said some of these people were too scared to sign up.
Speaker 103 They're just leaving that part out of all of their headlines.
Speaker 79 They're just focusing on the part where he said they were too lazy to get off their asses.
Speaker 104 But of course, they're also leaving out the other comments that he said.
Speaker 103 which here is John Kelly about his other lazy comment about dreamers. Listen.
Speaker 83 Some of them didn't hear about the program. Hard to believe.
Speaker 2 But okay.
Speaker 83 Some of them were perhaps a little bit concerned about signing up when many, many people in the neighborhood signed up three times, two or three times.
Speaker 14 But okay, fine.
Speaker 83 But I gotta tell you that the rest of them who are now claiming,
Speaker 83 not even claiming, have been granted essentially DACA status by the President of the United States, who has become the champion, I believe.
Speaker 2 for 1.8 million people who are now considered kind of DACA.
Speaker 83 I gotta say that some of them just should have probably gotten off the couch and signed up. But that doesn't really matter now because President Trump has given them the status.
Speaker 106 Okay.
Speaker 107 Okay.
Speaker 90 So he's not just giving two choices, he's giving four choices.
Speaker 108 Yes.
Speaker 109 Okay.
Speaker 84 One, maybe they didn't hear about the program.
Speaker 110 Which is hard to believe.
Speaker 14 Hard to believe.
Speaker 98 Which it is hard to believe.
Speaker 14 Yes, it is.
Speaker 102 Two, they were waiting for everyone else in their neighborhood to sign up.
Speaker 94
Okay. Right.
Three, they were scared.
Speaker 111 Right.
Speaker 96 Four, they were lazy.
Speaker 84 Are we to believe that there is not one of the 1.8 million people who is lazy? I know way less than 1.8 million people, and I know lots of lazy people.
Speaker 92 You know what?
Speaker 84 None of them are on DACA, perhaps, but just American citizens who are incredibly lazy. Are we to believe that in the entire 1.8 million DACA recipients, that none of them are lazy?
Speaker 84
He's given you three other choices as to why they haven't signed up. Okay.
He's given you three other choices. You can put all 99.9% of them into the three other baskets that he gave you.
Speaker 84 But we are to believe and we are going to cause a controversy over the idea that not one
Speaker 84 of these 1.8 million people are actually just freaking lazy. You're telling me none of them are?
Speaker 114 Not one of them.
Speaker 95 It's insanity, these controversies we see.
Speaker 64 Two, they're dreamers.
Speaker 84 that indicates they're late if they're dreaming that means they're asleep no no
Speaker 34 well of course all right if they're asleep you know you could say and you're listening to him you're like why does he have so much why does he have anger because he almost sounds like you know maybe they just should have gotten off the couch maybe they should just got off their ass and and done it but do you notice what he's saying here He said, he said, look, some of them may not have heard, which is hard to believe.
Speaker 47 So some of them may have been afraid.
Speaker 10 Some of them may have been rating for everybody else.
Speaker 115 And that kind of goes into the afraid.
Speaker 35 But then he says, but then there are those who were probably just got off the couch.
Speaker 40 And the reason why he's saying that is because, look, man, if this means something to you, if you didn't hear about it, if you were afraid, I get it.
Speaker 122 But Donald Trump is even giving a path to citizenship to the people who didn't care about citizenship enough to get off their ass and and go sign up.
Speaker 124 They didn't care enough about it to be afraid.
Speaker 123 It meant nothing to them.
Speaker 33 This is what he's saying.
Speaker 126 Even the people that citizenship means nothing to,
Speaker 128 the president has become their champion.
Speaker 47 Yeah.
Speaker 129 I mean, think of it.
Speaker 74 And I think that that's a great point because these are people who didn't even bother to sign up for this thing.
Speaker 79 And now they're demanding, they're upset at the Trump administration who has offered this incredible thing.
Speaker 116 Because I think that's the point.
Speaker 99 He's got to be frustrated that he's getting, they're getting criticized.
Speaker 75 Who are these other 1.2 million people?
Speaker 116 And they're being criticized for this.
Speaker 84 This is a guy who ran a campaign as the hardest border hawk in the universe. And his chief of staff on record is saying he's the champion of DACA recipients.
Speaker 3 And not and they're still getting criticized.
Speaker 37 And not just DACA recipients,
Speaker 49 but people who didn't care enough to take the effort to sign up.
Speaker 85 People who qualified and still didn't sign up.
Speaker 81 And he's saying he's the champion.
Speaker 3 This is the exact reverse
Speaker 81 of what you were accusing him of in the campaign and what he ran on.
Speaker 132 So why is the press doing this?
Speaker 37 It's easy.
Speaker 75 Well, I mean, just general opposition to everything the guy does.
Speaker 56 No, it's much deeper than that.
Speaker 21 You cannot have the Republicans be the champion of DACA.
Speaker 45 You can't have them be the flag bearer of the Hispanic community.
Speaker 112 You can't do it.
Speaker 65 If they lose the Hispanic community, they lose.
Speaker 132 That is the future of America.
Speaker 37 So
Speaker 81 you lose it, you're done.
Speaker 58 They have got to make sure that we are always painted.
Speaker 33 Anybody on the right is painted as a racist, as a hate monger, as saying that Hispanics are lazy and rapists.
Speaker 68 That's why.
Speaker 10 And And I think that, I think General Kelly has a really good point.
Speaker 134 If you were saying, if you said to this, look,
Speaker 57 I'm going to give a tax rebate
Speaker 135 to everybody.
Speaker 47 I'm going to let everybody keep their own
Speaker 110 money. I'm going to give everybody 50% of their own money back.
Speaker 13 You have to sign up.
Speaker 2 Okay.
Speaker 30 I sign up.
Speaker 110 Or I didn't hear about it, so I didn't sign up.
Speaker 28 Or
Speaker 12 I was afraid that the government and the IRS is going to trap me into some sort of scam, so I don't sign up.
Speaker 46 Okay, I understand those, but you were so damn lazy that you didn't even care.
Speaker 13 And then the president comes and says, by the way, even those who didn't sign up and
Speaker 108 those who didn't even pay taxes.
Speaker 110 They also get this.
Speaker 9 How is the president getting crap that he's not getting people tax breaks? How is he getting crap?
Speaker 139 And how would you feel if you were like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 26 I went through all of this.
Speaker 110 I risked. I did all of this.
Speaker 93 The guy, I know the guy just didn't give a flying crap about it.
Speaker 110 And now you're making him into a hero?
Speaker 65 Now you're not only giving it to him, but now you're championing him?
Speaker 140 No, no.
Speaker 76 It's just, yeah, it's got to be so frustrating.
Speaker 67 So frustrating.
Speaker 73 I mean, because again, there are things you could beat up Trump on if you want to.
Speaker 87 This is complete nonsense.
Speaker 141 You know,
Speaker 92 it would be one thing if he came out and said, look, a lot of people didn't sign up.
Speaker 99 They're almost universally lazy, but, you know, maybe there's something else somewhere that's some other reason.
Speaker 76 He gave you three other legitimate reasons, and they act as if the laziness thing is the only thing he said.
Speaker 115 Now,
Speaker 101 the reason why we have the word lazy, Glenn.
Speaker 84 The reason why the word lazy exists is because it's a character trait recognized among human beings. There are every single type of human beings.
Speaker 84 Even people, even the dreamers, some of them have to be lazy.
Speaker 18 So, here is the, here's what he should have said.
Speaker 23 Those who didn't care enough about citizenship, there are those who signed up.
Speaker 17 There are those who probably didn't hear about it.
Speaker 28 I can't understand that, but they probably didn't hear about it.
Speaker 16 And there are those who were afraid to sign up.
Speaker 49 But those who didn't care enough, heard about it, knew about it, wasn't afraid, and didn't care enough about their citizenship,
Speaker 113 even those people are getting it.
Speaker 100 The word he should have avoided in this culture is lazy, because everyone would have understood that.
Speaker 2 All those two.
Speaker 62 It is hard to believe that there's one group of people out there that doesn't have any any lazy people in it.
Speaker 57 This is what Kelly meant.
Speaker 44 Not lazy.
Speaker 36 Just didn't care enough to get off the couch for the U.S.
Speaker 16 citizenship.
Speaker 47 Didn't mean anything to them.
Speaker 2 That's a problem.
Speaker 28 All right, this year, Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 Are we to believe
Speaker 14 that not one person?
Speaker 114 Not one person
Speaker 115 who is too lazy to call 1-800 Flowers?
Speaker 81 Is it not what?
Speaker 75 All the people just never heard of 1-800Flowers.com.
Speaker 84 Everybody was too afraid to call 1-800 Flowers.
Speaker 84 Not one person was too lazy to make a phone call to get flowers for Valentine's Day. There's not one example of that that exists.
Speaker 149 Not with the Dreamers.
Speaker 48 No, not with Dreamers.

Speaker 160 Glenn back
Speaker 161 Mercury.
Speaker 5 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 53 Okay, Stu, how do you expect anyone in the press or anyone in America to really understand the nuances of three other options, you know, when it comes to General Kelly and what he said.
Speaker 110 He gave you four options.
Speaker 35 One of them was they didn't care enough about their citizenship to get up off the couch.
Speaker 111 Okay.
Speaker 100 How do you expect that anyone could possibly follow four different things
Speaker 57 when you have this story?
Speaker 51 A pair of New York Democrats have introduced a bill in the New York State Assembly that says it is necessary to combat the consumption of tide pods.
Speaker 11 And so the bill requires the pods to be packaged in a uniform color to make them less appetizing.
Speaker 73 Less appetizing?
Speaker 2 Mm-hmm.
Speaker 149 They need to make
Speaker 149 it appear.
Speaker 53 Yes.
Speaker 8 They need to look less appetizing.
Speaker 118 And the Tide Pods.
Speaker 65 Teenagers, teenagers, not little, you know, two-year-olds, teenagers are eating tide pods.
Speaker 89 And again, just to make sure, you're talking about the packaged detergent.
Speaker 164 Yes.
Speaker 79 That is colorful.
Speaker 11 Yes.
Speaker 116 And therefore looks appetizing.
Speaker 62 yes uh-huh uh-huh because it's colorful
Speaker 162 i you know what
Speaker 13 i say make them look more appetizing make them look like hamburgers yeah i mean if it is in the laundry detergent i mean first how many people how many parents can get their parent their kids into the laundry room to do the laundry anyway okay how many how many parents you have that right so if they're in the laundry room and they're looking for something to eat and they're like that type pod looks
Speaker 155 You know, it's time for Darwin.
Speaker 50 It's time for Darwin.
Speaker 91 I mean, it's, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 78 this thing started like last year when it was toddlers, right?
Speaker 73 And so I know as a parent of two young kids, we have Tide Pods. We use them all the time.
Speaker 79 We make sure they were on a high shelf, especially when they were, you know, below the age we could communicate with them completely.
Speaker 73 Teenagers, you shouldn't have to do anything for them.
Speaker 98 Well, okay, so here's the thing.
Speaker 138 They have to be packaged in a uniform color so they look less appetizing.
Speaker 15 They also have to,
Speaker 149 each type, what?
Speaker 9 Each Tide Pod has to be individually wrapped in plastic, complete with a warning label.
Speaker 133 So if we're talking about two-year-olds.
Speaker 14 I don't think they're going to read the warning label.
Speaker 47 I mean,
Speaker 33 General Kelly maybe should have added a fifth category.
Speaker 140 People that were too stupid to know how to even get out of their house.
Speaker 75 Is there not one dreamer who's eaten a Tide Pod?
Speaker 106 There has to be one.
Speaker 28 I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 152 I mean, how many people have eaten Tide Pods?
Speaker 89 I mean, I feel like this is a little bit of the shark scare of 2001.
Speaker 79 No, Stupid.
Speaker 81 Where they were like, oh, guys,
Speaker 95 there's lots of shark attacks.
Speaker 73 And then
Speaker 73 it's just like, how many has it happened?
Speaker 95 Yeah, there's a few YouTube videos.
Speaker 148 In the entire world, there have been 80 cases.
Speaker 91 80. That's real?
Speaker 61 In the entire world.
Speaker 14 Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 5 Glenn, back.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
Speaker 31 Trust is an important thing.
Speaker 72 It's something that we do a lot more as human beings than I think most people realize.
Speaker 73 I mean, you drive down the road and there's a little yellow line between a car coming at you at 50 miles an hour and you're on your side of the road and they're on their side of the road and we just trust that they'll stay on their side of the road.
Speaker 165 Their self-interest will do it, whatever it is.
Speaker 101 We don't die most of the time when we're driving and this is a positive thing.
Speaker 173 It's hard, though, to find people you can trust when it comes to really complicated transactions like real estate.
Speaker 74 I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 174 You know, you're talking about your biggest investment in your entire life, and you're trusting this to someone because you don't understand what any of those forms mean.
Speaker 164 I never do. No one does.
Speaker 85 You don't need half of the people don't even read them.
Speaker 173 You need someone who can walk you through a big transaction like buying or selling a home and make sure there are people that you can trust that have been screened that aren't just some random person you're looking up in the phone book.
Speaker 73 Realestateagents I trust.com is a company that Glenn actually started because he was trying to sell his house and had some issues.
Speaker 173 And basically, what they do at realestate agentsitrust.com, it's a network of 1,200 agents. And Glenn and his team have gone through and kind of gone through and found the best ones in each area.
Speaker 175 And you go and you put in your address and you put in your area where you are and you find an agent you can trust.
Speaker 174 It's your biggest investment. You need to take it seriously.
Speaker 173 Go to realestateagentsitrust.com.
Speaker 174 It's realestate agents I trust.com.
Speaker 173 Give it a shot.
Speaker 164 Realestate agents I trust.com.
Speaker 1 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 28 Tickline one, Patrick in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 13 Hello, Patrick.
Speaker 60 Welcome to the program.
Speaker 105 How you doing, Glenn?
Speaker 13 I'm pretty good. How are you?
Speaker 176 Not bad.
Speaker 176 I broke a rib on that last segment.
Speaker 2 The tide pods.
Speaker 68 The tide pods.
Speaker 28 Yeah.
Speaker 16 Have you eaten any tide pods lately?
Speaker 2 No, I haven't. Yeah.
Speaker 14
Yeah. Okay.
Well,
Speaker 176 I'm calling in regards to, Glenn,
Speaker 176 what the president said about having a military parade.
Speaker 176 And my thoughts on it is
Speaker 176 that,
Speaker 176 you know, we've had that before, pass and review. I could see them doing a pass and review with the troops.
Speaker 176 But if we start bringing out our military hardware, that looks like something that we've seen in the past.
Speaker 176 You know, I really don't think we should go down that road.
Speaker 70 You know, Patrick, I'm going to to give you my opinion on that here in a second.
Speaker 39 But
Speaker 53 I think
Speaker 30 you have a very unpopular position right now, at least on social media, if you were a conservative.
Speaker 179 But
Speaker 53 I say, Matt, stand tall in that. I think you're exactly right.
Speaker 138 And I'll tell you my opinion coming up in a second.
Speaker 53 But Stu is lost in thought.
Speaker 152 I can see it on Tidepod still.
Speaker 73 Yeah, we can't leave the Tidepod thing yet.
Speaker 170 This is too important. Would you?
Speaker 79 Because, again, my instinct was this is kind of like one of of those overblown controversies, but I did not know the actual facts on it.
Speaker 180 Yeah.
Speaker 79 And then you said there was only 80 people.
Speaker 75 Yeah.
Speaker 28 Okay.
Speaker 21 So, according to the American Association of Poison Control Troll Centers, now this is, in case you just tuned in.
Speaker 98 Yeah, I know.
Speaker 51 If you just tuned in, New York Democrats have introduced a bill in the state assembly that say it's necessary to combat the consumption of Tide Pods.
Speaker 61 So Tide has to package in a uniform color, as well as requiring each pod to be individually wrapped in plastic complete with a warning label
Speaker 137 They say that people don't understand the danger associated with swallowing commercial cleaning products if you're that stupid at 15 Darwin needs to ring your doorbell.
Speaker 127 It's time for the tails to fall off now
Speaker 29 They say these these state senators say that they look appetizing to some people because of their colorful design.
Speaker 87 Insinuating, it's a mistake.
Speaker 103 Right?
Speaker 92 Like, they just see yummy detergent and can't help themselves.
Speaker 79 Red.
Speaker 110 It must be ketchup. Right.
Speaker 150 According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, there have been 80 cases of intentional misuse of Tide Pods
Speaker 9 reported in 2018, up from 53 cases in all of 2017.
Speaker 79 So 133 cases in the last two years. Yeah, well, we're not done with this year yet, but yeah, a year and change.
Speaker 89 133 cases.
Speaker 129 Yeah, but when you look at that, that's an epidemic.
Speaker 143 When you look at that, there's 7 billion.
Speaker 95 7.6 billion.
Speaker 12 7.6 billion people on the planet.
Speaker 129 This is an epidemic.
Speaker 106 No, it's not.
Speaker 14 Well, I
Speaker 71 beg of progressivism, isn't it?
Speaker 95 Oh, yeah. Here it is.
Speaker 92 You have, again, and what was the word?
Speaker 73 Can you give me that sentence one more time?
Speaker 122 Yeah.
Speaker 22 Over 80 cases of intentional
Speaker 21 misuse of Tide products reported so far.
Speaker 87 So that's not someone who mistakes it for some delicious product and eats it.
Speaker 79 That is intentional misuse.
Speaker 12 Well, I want you to know, even if it's intentional use,
Speaker 13 according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, The child poisoning, and I use the word child when it's a 15-year-old, I use the word child loosely.
Speaker 132 The number of cases of child poisoning due to Tide Pods that are reported every year is quote not out of line with other similar household products, which strongly suggests that the product is not objectively more dangerous to children due to its packaging or colorful design.
Speaker 108 Well, yeah.
Speaker 74 I mean, because the only thing that the colorful design would theoretically do is have someone eat it
Speaker 81 unintentionally.
Speaker 92 Listen to you. They would say, hey, that looks like a breath mint and eat it, it, right?
Speaker 81 Look at you.
Speaker 14 Look at you.
Speaker 99 But this is saying it's intentional misuse, meaning kids that are 15, 16 years old are going on YouTube to make their friends laugh and do a dare.
Speaker 20 Look, let me quote the senators.
Speaker 65 We want to make sure that these poisonings are prevented, and it's easy.
Speaker 110 All we have to do is make sure that public safety trumps the corporate profit.
Speaker 78 Right, because Tide is saying, we don't care about those 80 people who are intentionally misusing our product because it's blue and orange.
Speaker 152 No, let me tell you what Procter ⁇ Gamble has said.
Speaker 77 Oh, they came out.
Speaker 75 They finally came out and admitted it.
Speaker 110 Did they admit it?
Speaker 143 They responded.
Speaker 119 They said
Speaker 134 there are studies which have shown that colorful packaging does not increase the risk of child ingestion of dangerous products.
Speaker 62 Additionally, requiring an additional layer of plastic wrapping around the pods would have detrimental environmental effects,
Speaker 32 as well as creating other possible ingestion hazards for children.
Speaker 26 Right.
Speaker 95 Finally.
Speaker 73 Seriously, because I bet it would cause more problems because the parents would rip the thing off and one would drop on the floor and some toddler would eat the plastic, which does not look appetizing.
Speaker 149
And eat a toddler. It's a choke.
It's a toddler.
Speaker 24 Finally, consumers have a choice. Those who prefer single-colored pack can use Tide Free and Gentle, which is all white.
Speaker 106 So they already have a product that is one color already available on the market.
Speaker 18 What do you do when it snows?
Speaker 12 You go outside and kids eat snow.
Speaker 34 They think it's snow, Stu.
Speaker 57 They think it's snow.
Speaker 60 15-year-olds will think it's snow.
Speaker 17 Tide is also available in a liquid and powder product form.
Speaker 100 Yes.
Speaker 104 So you don't have to buy it.
Speaker 166 So is cocaine, Procter ⁇ Gamble.
Speaker 75 So you're not legally required to purchase Tide Pots?
Speaker 28 No, you're not. Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 No, and they have either options.
Speaker 81 I thought it was like, you know, health insurance where I was legally required to purchase it until recently.
Speaker 32 Procter Gamble said, ensuring the safety of people who use our products is fundamental to everything we do at Procter Gamble.
Speaker 29 However, even the most stringent standards and protocols, labels and warnings cannot prevent intentional abuse fueled by poor judgment and the desire for popularity.
Speaker 33 End quote.
Speaker 60 But why care about any of that?
Speaker 163 I mean, the FDA was created because cocaine was in Coca-Cola.
Speaker 34 The only problem is Coca-Cola at the time said, no, in 1880 it was.
Speaker 110 It hasn't been in Coca-Cola for 20 years.
Speaker 127 The government still said there's cocaine in Coca-Cola.
Speaker 122 So Coca-Cola, through the court, was tested at an independent laboratory, and it was shown that there was no cocaine in Coca-Cola. And what did Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican, say?
Speaker 37 It doesn't matter.
Speaker 113 Public safety is first.
Speaker 60 But wait, there's no public hazard really here.
Speaker 121 This is progressivism 101.
Speaker 183 It really is.
Speaker 105 It really is. It's a great example of it.
Speaker 91 They have to protect you from eating detergent.
Speaker 181 Now, of course, every green
Speaker 75 product.
Speaker 59 You don't. You don't.
Speaker 167 You don't. Even Procter ⁇ Gamble
Speaker 34 doesn't have to do that.
Speaker 37 How is it
Speaker 142 the human race survived for as long as it did?
Speaker 148 We have, I remember when I think there was like 4 billion people on the planet.
Speaker 166 There's now 7.6 billion.
Speaker 112 And we're the only ones that have all of these problems with Tide Pods.
Speaker 96 We're the only ones that need the little label that says, don't use snowblower on roof.
Speaker 166 No, they don't have any of that crap in China.
Speaker 123 And yet,
Speaker 123 we're 7.6 billion people and growing strong.
Speaker 9 So we are doing so well that there are people now that are trying to say, you've got to slow down the population explosion.
Speaker 126 We've got to stop it.
Speaker 181 The same people who are worried about overpopulation are the same people who are trying to save all the dummies from eating Tide Pods.
Speaker 10 Never in the history of the world have people been so stupid that they needed a little parent gate around absolutely every mud puddle.
Speaker 110 You better put a pool fence around that.
Speaker 21 That's a pretty deep mud puddle.
Speaker 34 Somebody could fall and actually put their face, just fall.
Speaker 110 They're completely dry everywhere, except that one-inch puddle where their face falls directly in it.
Speaker 96 And they're going to be stupid enough to lay there because there's no sign that says, take face out of puddle.
Speaker 69 What are we doing, man?
Speaker 14 What are we doing?
Speaker 162 Honestly,
Speaker 93 I'm beginning to pray for AI.
Speaker 32 It'll be nice to have an intelligent conversation, even knowing that the end of the conversation is, you guys are too stupid to live.
Speaker 14 I'll take that one.
Speaker 16 Blinds.com is the best at what they do.

Speaker 160 Glenn, back.
Speaker 161 Mercury.
Speaker 5 Glenn, back.
Speaker 23 We're going to get to a couple of things.
Speaker 63 The military parades.
Speaker 15 I want to talk a little bit about that coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 67 Also,
Speaker 70 we're going to show you the Tides Foundation, the Global Tides Foundation,
Speaker 154 that you need to know about.
Speaker 17 It's not associated at all in any way with the Tides Foundation.
Speaker 15 But if you are somebody who watched us as we exposed the Tides Foundation years ago, there is something I think more dangerous to the globe than the Tides Foundation was to our democracy here in America.
Speaker 131 It's the Tide Pods Foundation. Yes.
Speaker 71 And it's incredibly dangerous.
Speaker 79 Up to 80 people of 7.6 billion could be affected.
Speaker 14 They are.
Speaker 152 They're wrapping the Tides pods.
Speaker 176 They're wrapping them uh to look like steaks oh no yeah i knew they would do this i knew it would happen big mms it just has the big m on it and you're like that's a giant mm i have to eat that kevin in texas welcome to the program yeah the biggest uh thing that's going to come up next is downy makes these little um scented uh pellets for a laundry detergent and they actually look exactly like dippin' dots
Speaker 60 oh my crash oh my gosh i thought those were new
Speaker 152 i've been keeping my downy in in the freezer.
Speaker 46 I thought they were dipping dots.
Speaker 6 They're delicious.
Speaker 14 Thanks for your
Speaker 14 call. Matt.
Speaker 106 Go ahead. What were you going to say? I was going to say,
Speaker 75 I've bought my kid dippin' dots here and there.
Speaker 73 You ever see those things melt?
Speaker 186 They've got to be worse for you than detergent.
Speaker 14 It does not look like a healthy product. No, thank you.
Speaker 81 No, thank you.
Speaker 99 They look, I mean, they're kind of tasty when you eat them.
Speaker 103 If it's hot outside and those things melt, they turn into this weird oil-like liquid.
Speaker 79 It is a strange product.
Speaker 7 Matt, go ahead.
Speaker 176 So, I think if we make the soap and the detergent like organic and then put like a glucose shell on it so that they're healthy, when people eat them, it's not going to hurt them.
Speaker 176 Everybody's going to stop eating them anyways because the whole thrill of it is: if I eat this, I could die.
Speaker 130 So, maybe we put more nutrition than a salad and taste like one, too.
Speaker 152 Maybe that would stop people from eating them.
Speaker 14 You could stop everyone in the world. 100%.
Speaker 164 It would stop. Yeah.
Speaker 78 You could stop everyone in New York from eating them if you added gluten to it.
Speaker 101 That's the way to solve this issue and salt.
Speaker 152 Judy in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 110 Judy, hello.
Speaker 150 Hello. Hi.
Speaker 187 Good. I'm glad to talk to you and thank you for your program that is, I think, giving the truth to a lot of people and making us think of what really is going on in this world and how our country is
Speaker 187 a lot of times deceiving us without the truth.
Speaker 69 Yeah. Yeah, we're pretty great.
Speaker 2 Most definitely. Yes.
Speaker 187 And usually I don't say anything, but I was listening to your program this morning and I'm like, boy, would I like to tell them people something.
Speaker 28 All right, go ahead.
Speaker 187 So here it is. It's about the
Speaker 187 people sitting on their butts and not becoming citizens or applying to be citizens of the United States.
Speaker 187 These people that are in our country that are working and paying taxes and they don't get credit for these taxes. We know a person that has years
Speaker 187 put lots of money, thousands of dollars, into trying to become a citizen.
Speaker 187 And every time they get up to a certain point, the government holds them off and they have to pay more money to go to the next step. And after that, it's more money for the next step.
Speaker 187 And I was watching it the other night there that when they took the husband away from the wife and child and they sent him back to Mexico.
Speaker 187 And he had applied, she said, the last words I caught was, she said, they have spent thousands of dollars trying to ply to get him citizenship. And this is happening to everybody.
Speaker 187 And our government's making out.
Speaker 187 And they're not telling nobody.
Speaker 171 Many people don't realize these people.
Speaker 187 Some of them are trying.
Speaker 42 Yeah,
Speaker 27 I agree with you, Judy.
Speaker 152 I have met people who have told me the immigration nightmare it is to do it the right way here, how much it costs, how screwed up the government is.
Speaker 36 We do need an overhaul of the entire system.
Speaker 31 I just don't have any trust in anybody in Washington would actually do it to cut all of the problems that
Speaker 36 real people actually have.
Speaker 100 Any government that came up with a lottery system for citizenship is just too dumb.
Speaker 29 Too dumb, honestly, to find out how to unwrap a Tide Pod to eat it.
Speaker 14 It really is.
Speaker 101 They dissolve in your mouth, Glenn.
Speaker 78 You don't need to unwrap them.
Speaker 69 No, they have wrapping on them, don't they?
Speaker 164 No, they're individual. You just
Speaker 2 pop it in your mouth. There's no wrapping whatsoever.
Speaker 116 Well, I mean, there is a dissolvable wrapping.
Speaker 149 Oh Oh my gosh, I thought that.
Speaker 116 And then you just put it in your mouth, it dissolves right.
Speaker 167 I thought there was some protection against.
Speaker 11 No, you throw it in the laundry and it just dissolves.
Speaker 165
You don't have to deal with it. That's the whole thing.
That's the love of Tide Pods.
Speaker 75 That's why it's so great.
Speaker 70 I had no idea it was that dangerous.
Speaker 77 So now you're on the Democratic Space.
Speaker 157 Oh my gosh, yes,
Speaker 12 I'm hungry for one right now. Oh, no.
Speaker 11 Yeah, it seems more fresh to me.
Speaker 5 Glenn back.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
Speaker 2 Love. Courage.
Speaker 4 Truth.
Speaker 5 Glenn. Beck.
Speaker 22 All right. We now have something in common with North Korea.
Speaker 19 This is going to upset a lot of people, but I want you to listen carefully carefully to what I say.
Speaker 46 Kim Jong-un is planning a grand military parade set to kick off tomorrow, and as confirmed by the White House yesterday, plans are in motion for our own version of a large spectacle military show, complete with tanks and everything else.
Speaker 21 My question is: is this who we are?
Speaker 139 A lot of people will argue, yeah, we've done this before.
Speaker 189 Have we?
Speaker 138 We are not a country that emulates the actions of communist dictatorships.
Speaker 16 That's not who we are.
Speaker 110 Now, this has nothing to do with respect for the military. We all respect the military.
Speaker 118 Everybody who is a conservative, and if you've ever listened to this show for half a second, you know how much we've done for the military and how we feel about the military.
Speaker 122 Let me remind you about the rally for America.
Speaker 146 That is not the purpose of this military parade.
Speaker 9 North Korea, the Soviets, and any other nation that does these things, democratic or not, is not trying to show their admiration for the men and women in uniform.
Speaker 166 They are only projecting power.
Speaker 122 And in the case of France, if you want to say, whoa, France does it, France has to do a parade like this once a year just to make sure the tanks still start.
Speaker 35 So let's make it clear.
Speaker 17 There is a very huge difference between a Veterans Day parade or a Memorial Memorial Day parade and a military demonstration of might.
Speaker 13 You ask anybody in the military, they do not want that kind of tribute.
Speaker 166 With all of the amounts of money, do you know what it takes?
Speaker 65 The last time we did something like this was at the end of a war.
Speaker 29 Don't tell me, well, we defied,
Speaker 65 we defeated ISIS.
Speaker 139 Have we?
Speaker 65 We have certainly won this battle, but we have not won the war. Where will ISIS go next?
Speaker 22 What will they turn into?
Speaker 122 When you bring all of the troops back, you can talk to me about the possibility of having a big expose of all of our tanks and everything coming back.
Speaker 62 That's not what this is.
Speaker 100 That's not what this is.
Speaker 130 The last time we did this was 1991, and it was at the end of the First Gulf War.
Speaker 35 We welcomed people back.
Speaker 8 That's different.
Speaker 18 Now, Now, how much money is this going to cost?
Speaker 122 What was it?
Speaker 110 $30 million in 1991?
Speaker 20 $80 million. $80 million.
Speaker 136 Sorry, $8 million in 1991.
Speaker 70 So that's probably about $30 million today.
Speaker 66 Why not take the $30 million and put that into the VA?
Speaker 9 Why not divert some of that $30 million into programs that help our veterans find jobs after they they come back to civilian life.
Speaker 17 Here's how we show our military our admiration and respect.
Speaker 49 We take care of them and we're not doing that.
Speaker 33 That's what they really want.
Speaker 96 That is what they really deserve.
Speaker 93 How many veterans feel worthless right now?
Speaker 127 How many feel like they don't have a purpose?
Speaker 65 How many veterans right now are suicidal?
Speaker 27 How many veterans do we lose every day to their own hand?
Speaker 12 You want to show off American power?
Speaker 9 True American power isn't in the government.
Speaker 33 True American power isn't in some awesome military and we've got an awesome one.
Speaker 9 True American power is in the spirit of the individual.
Speaker 49 It is in the care of other individuals.
Speaker 20 It's the opportunity that
Speaker 32 the individual has to change their life,
Speaker 112 become better than what they ever were, better than what anybody thought they could be, better than what they were born into.
Speaker 29 That's American greatness.
Speaker 122 That's American power.
Speaker 65 China can have tanks and missiles.
Speaker 93 For the love of Pete, North Korea can put on a fancy parade.
Speaker 65 But the one thing they cannot, they cannot replicate, no matter how many people they have, no matter how much money they spend, no matter how great their military is, they can never duplicate American ingenuity.
Speaker 122 American ingenuity has become the most powerful force on planet Earth because it is about the individual.
Speaker 134 At this very moment, a cherry-red Tesla Roadster is in space on the way to the asteroid belt.
Speaker 65 A mannequin named Starman is sitting at the wheel and listening to David Bowie's Space Oddity playing on repeat.
Speaker 65 Yesterday, SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy at more than 5 million pounds of thrust.
Speaker 45 It is the world's most powerful rocket.
Speaker 65 Minutes after reaching space, two gigantic boosters that lifted the main capsule into space detached and then remotely flew back to Cape Canaveral and landed with synchronization that would rival two Olympic ice skaters.
Speaker 166 The two boosters simultaneously deployed their landing legs and touched down side by side on the landing pad.
Speaker 122 Where else but in America is that happening?
Speaker 146 Where else could a man with a dream actually make that happen?
Speaker 123 The government didn't do this.
Speaker 22 It was one man's dream.
Speaker 10 He pulled it off with other like-minded dreamers at his own private company.
Speaker 13 That is American power.
Speaker 138 And you know what? That kind of power doesn't need a parade.
Speaker 184 I have found that people who have fame, who have fortune, who have power are one of two kinds.
Speaker 152 They are either humble and they don't have to tell anybody about it.
Speaker 139 And those are the people who have lasting power.
Speaker 62 Those are the people who have lasting fame.
Speaker 134 And then there are those who are so afraid of losing their power that they have to tell everybody how powerful they are.
Speaker 122 The truly powerful don't need a show or a parade to prove their power.
Speaker 181 The truly intelligent don't need to tell people all the time how smart they are.
Speaker 16 They just are.
Speaker 1 It's Wednesday, February 7th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 156 I posted something like that on Twitter yesterday, and I was hammered by the right.
Speaker 66 And
Speaker 136 you know what?
Speaker 188 I'm sorry, but I am not going to change my opinion
Speaker 24 because of people.
Speaker 37 I don't bow to people.
Speaker 87 Since when?
Speaker 47 Since when?
Speaker 109 Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 14 I'd love to see that. Can you imagine?
Speaker 142 I mean, honestly, it's why I was disappointed.
Speaker 110 And this is really grotesque.
Speaker 12 It's really grotesque, but I don't think I'm alone.
Speaker 134 When George Bush said, you're going to see the full might of the U.S.
Speaker 32 military and shock and awe, I was disappointed when that was it.
Speaker 13 Because I know that's not the full might of the American military.
Speaker 152 When you see the full might of the American military, it's got to be awesome.
Speaker 110 And to watch it for entertainment is really sick, is really sick because that military power is to kill people.
Speaker 21 Hey, let's have Dow Chemical do a parade and show all of the poisons that they make.
Speaker 68 They're so powerful.
Speaker 2 No.
Speaker 48 No.
Speaker 29 Let's show Dow Chemical for all of the things that they have saved, all the things that they have made.
Speaker 6 That's great.
Speaker 54 We don't need to display our killing machine.
Speaker 35 You know, let's look at this from the point of view from the rest of the world.
Speaker 9 They already think that we have gone mad.
Speaker 9 They already think that we are just going to start World War III.
Speaker 20 They already, this is so important for people to understand.
Speaker 118 We are dishonoring their investment in us.
Speaker 119 I I said this yesterday.
Speaker 20 If you have a neighbor who does really well and he goes from house to house and says, hey, you guys got to invest in me.
Speaker 23 We're neighbors.
Speaker 138 You're going to love this.
Speaker 31 Just invest in me because I'm going to make lots of money.
Speaker 184 And for years you invest and everybody is happy.
Speaker 158 And then he starts asking you for more money and more money, but he's been so successful, you just give it to him.
Speaker 33 And he starts building pools and he's got extra cars and he's starting to live the high life.
Speaker 159 And you're you're not really living the high life, but you're like, Look, I mean, you know, I've got good return on my investment.
Speaker 152 I guess I'm okay.
Speaker 110 Then he starts to have trouble.
Speaker 163 And he comes to you and says, Hey, I really need your help.
Speaker 32 And he doesn't sell any of his cars.
Speaker 65 In fact, he's still buying more.
Speaker 37 He's building a bigger pool.
Speaker 31 Does anybody in your house say, hey, maybe he's not a good investment?
Speaker 191 Of course.
Speaker 87 But if you are so deep into investments in him that if he fails, you fail.
Speaker 27 You look to your wife or she looks to you and says, honey, but if we don't invest, if he fails, we're wiped out.
Speaker 188 Keep paying him.
Speaker 20 So you have to keep investing.
Speaker 32 Now, when he continues to buy crazy things and do crazy things and act irrationally,
Speaker 32 And he's on one side and then four years later he's on the other side and neither of them are working.
Speaker 11 And you're like, okay, dude, what is happening to you?
Speaker 28 Then what happens?
Speaker 138 You either say, I have worked really hard to be able to have a fallback contingency plan, and I'm not going to invest in you anymore.
Speaker 14 But
Speaker 15 you're going to hurt the rest of the neighbors, the rest of the neighbors if you do that.
Speaker 64 They're going to be pissed at you too.
Speaker 28 But hopefully, you know that they're going to be so pissed at him because everybody in the neighborhood was propping him up.
Speaker 158 And he promised everybody,
Speaker 61 I'm not going to lose your money.
Speaker 11 Trust me.
Speaker 32 And when he finally loses his money and the entire neighborhood goes down and everybody's out,
Speaker 22 do you think that that guy is going to be safe in the neighborhood?
Speaker 52 Or do you think there might be a couple of guys in a couple of houses that want to kill him?
Speaker 57 Because he's destroyed.
Speaker 11 Do you think the neighbors who were in trouble with their family in the first place for giving money to this guy?
Speaker 13 Do you think they're going to suddenly say, Well, no, I believed him, or are they going to turn around as the head of the household and say, You know what?
Speaker 42 You were right the whole time, and I'm going to lead you.
Speaker 112 I'm we're going to get him.
Speaker 33 We're going to take some of his stuff.
Speaker 29 Well, that's what's happening on the global scale.
Speaker 110 The globe is starting to believe,
Speaker 20 be convinced.
Speaker 69 Better word.
Speaker 32 There is a, there is a,
Speaker 38 and you know this,
Speaker 87 a global movement to make capitalism and America and our freedoms.
Speaker 110 There's a movement to make it look grotesque, make it look greedy, make it look imperialistic, make it look like we are the invaders, we're the strong, we're strong-arming the rest of the world, and we're helping that.
Speaker 15 Let's not add anything to that.
Speaker 29 Externally, maybe for Kim Jong-un, that's wise.
Speaker 110 For everybody else, that's foolishness.
Speaker 136 Let's spend our money and our time
Speaker 192 doing things if you want to salute the veterans, if you care about the veterans,
Speaker 45 then let's take care of them.
Speaker 20 That's the best thing we can do.
Speaker 110 Tell me, tell me that you're, that that parade, which would last for a day at let's say $80 million
Speaker 47 That would last for a day Tell me that it wouldn't last longer if the government took $80 million
Speaker 29 and Upgraded the health care
Speaker 130 at the VA took $80 million
Speaker 130 and and said, you know what, we're going to put this $80 million into you know,
Speaker 11 15 or 20 machines that the VA really needs to be able to get care 80 million dollars we are going to take that with no strings attached and we're going to give it to these private uh individuals that are helping save the lives
Speaker 49 from suicide we're going to give it with no strings attached we have seen that what they're doing is working Tell me that that doesn't last a lifetime when a parade lasts a day.
Speaker 145 Let's get our priorities right.
Speaker 135 Please, let's get our priorities right.
Speaker 110 All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about Simply Safe, the home security that we have had for a long, long time.
Speaker 12 SimplySafe, I've known them. I've watched them transform into the fastest-growing home security company in the nation, protecting over 2 million people.
Speaker 23 And they have just released their brand new home security system.
Speaker 30 It's the all-new Simply Safe.
Speaker 51 It's been completely redesigned, rebuilt.
Speaker 62 I saw a prototype, what was it, two years ago?
Speaker 138 And they were hoping to release this, I think, two years ago.
Speaker 15 And, you know, Chad and the boys were just not happy with what was happening.
Speaker 70 And it just wasn't right.
Speaker 157 It just wasn't right.
Speaker 15 I thought it was unbelievable at the time.
Speaker 138 They have added new safeguards to protect against power outages, down Wi-Fi, cut landlines, bats, hammers, everything in between.
Speaker 17 The all-new simply safe.
Speaker 9 It's been redesigned to be practically invisible with powerful sensors so small that you'll hardly notice them.
Speaker 22 But boy, they will notice the intruders.
Speaker 21 And also maybe take a picture of the intruders too so you can give it to the police and say that's the guy who tried to break in.
Speaker 32 You still get the same fair and honest price.
Speaker 24 24-7 protection is still only $14.99 a month.
Speaker 184 There is no contract, so there's no wires and there's no strings.
Speaker 159 It's smaller, faster, stronger than anything they've built before.
Speaker 17 Supply is limited on the brand new SimplySafe.

Speaker 161 Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 73 I know this isn't what you're saying, but I mean, this is what the left left is saying.
Speaker 73 And I think this is an interesting trap issue for them politically because they're going to come out and say, he said military parades.
Speaker 131 That means he wants to be a dictator and be Kim Jong-un.
Speaker 47 And
Speaker 39 I won't go as far as saying that he wants to be a dictator.
Speaker 14 No.
Speaker 157 And
Speaker 154 that's quite a leap.
Speaker 54 I'm saying the imagery is that.
Speaker 14 Right.
Speaker 79 Well, obviously, we've joked about missile parades forever.
Speaker 71 Right.
Speaker 79 We should not have missile parades with giant posters of the face of the leader.
Speaker 73 If he proposes that in this parade, he's not going to.
Speaker 95 But on the other side of that, is
Speaker 89 that the response to the left is going to be, hey, we really like the military and we want to honor them.
Speaker 73 And my guess is they're going to win that issue, right?
Speaker 79 I mean, the difference, the idea of saying, okay, he wants to be Kim Jong-un versus we like the military,
Speaker 101 they're going to connect with we like the military. Correct.
Speaker 91 I mean, and there's no problem, I think, with, obviously, there's troops, there's parades all the time with veterans
Speaker 79 walking down the streets.
Speaker 75 There's a flyover at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 101 Yeah.
Speaker 12 So what is the difference?
Speaker 147 What is the difference between because if he said we want to have a big military parade and we're going to have the biggest flyover we've ever had,
Speaker 16 I would still object because
Speaker 53 of the money.
Speaker 101 And the money obviously better directed to something else.
Speaker 53 Yeah, that's totally different. You want to honor the, then let's let's honor them.
Speaker 190 Let's spend the money on healing them.
Speaker 60 So I would have a problem with that.
Speaker 17 But I wouldn't feel the same way about the parade if it was a flyover.
Speaker 14 Why?
Speaker 136 What's different between the tanks rolling through the streets and a flyover?
Speaker 73 Right. And tanks were specifically mentioned in the request, apparently.
Speaker 165 Right.
Speaker 101 I don't know.
Speaker 72 It's slower on the ground instead of in the air.
Speaker 136 The imagery of tanks on the streets in America is rare.
Speaker 167 I remember the first time I saw a tank on the street.
Speaker 147 It was right after 9-11 in New York City.
Speaker 68 The flyover is
Speaker 56 something that bothers some people.
Speaker 138 Most people think that's really, really cool.
Speaker 16 It's quick.
Speaker 36 It's fast.
Speaker 14 It's over your level.
Speaker 72 It's not an image that we attach to a leader standing in the stands with a bunch of people and military marching past with tanks in the street.
Speaker 22 That is an image that is rare here in America.
Speaker 69 It happens, but it is rare and usually saved for the end of a war.
Speaker 91 Right.
Speaker 131 And I think you could, in most cases, can fairly say, Well, I don't care about the optics.
Speaker 165 I don't care about imagery.
Speaker 75 But this is a freaking parade.
Speaker 101 It's all about imagery.
Speaker 14 That's the only thing it is. That's all it is.
Speaker 101 That's all it is. That's all it is.
Speaker 77 You know, I think that that's a fair.
Speaker 95 I mean, when I saw it, the first thing you think of, we joked for years on this show.
Speaker 80 Don't have, you know, missile parades.
Speaker 89 That's what dictators do.
Speaker 90 This is long before Donald Trump.
Speaker 12 Yeah, long before. I mean,
Speaker 37 I remember
Speaker 50 after George W.
Speaker 66 Bush was first elected, we would, we would joke about, you know, Dick Cheney and all of that and, you know, making fun of the left of what they were saying about him.
Speaker 12 And we said at the time, you know, we'll draw the lines.
Speaker 14 I mean, if we start having missile parades, then we'll know. But that's not what it is.
Speaker 42 Well,
Speaker 104 we're headed towards missile parades.
Speaker 28 And
Speaker 47 again, you don't want that imagery.
Speaker 80 I think the rest of the world, right? The rest of the world sees that.
Speaker 165 And what they see is, hey, I know the countries who do that.
Speaker 101 They act like this.
Speaker 73 With the exception of, I mean, to be fair, every indication is it's based on Bastille Day, which France.
Speaker 116 Right, but France doesn't, isn't a threat to anybody.
Speaker 152 France, they can't kill a fly with their military.
Speaker 112 So it's not, it's, that's not what it is.
Speaker 81 I don't know what it is in France.
Speaker 57 I really do believe they have to start the tanks once a year just to keep the batteries going.
Speaker 61 I think that's the only reason why they do it.
Speaker 5 Glenn, back.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
Speaker 80 Every once in a while, one of those products
Speaker 73 crosses the line from product name to just the thing that we call the product.
Speaker 138 It's like, you know, Kleenex.
Speaker 76 You know, instead of tissues, it just became Kleenex.
Speaker 101 Everyone called it Kleenex.
Speaker 80 TiVo was like that.
Speaker 95 The DVR was just a TiVo for a long time.
Speaker 164 Now it's DVR.
Speaker 173 Well, you know, Q-tips are like that. When you think about cleaning your ears, like, it's just Q-tips.
Speaker 80 That's not necessarily what they're called.
Speaker 175 That's the brand name.
Speaker 173 And, you know, you think, okay, well, this is something we all have and we all use, and it's got to be the best way to do it.
Speaker 54 Well, actually, not at all.
Speaker 164 It's not even designed to clean your ears. That's not what a Q-tip is supposed to do.
Speaker 173 Look at the box. They got a bunch of uses for it.
Speaker 72 They don't say stick one of these way down in the middle of your ear.
Speaker 28 That's not what they're recommending.
Speaker 186 Wax RX,
Speaker 173 they are recommending you use Wax RX to clean your ears because that's what it's for.
Speaker 173 The Wax RX system is the method physicians trust the most, and it's just like the system they use in their offices.
Speaker 173 Basically, the WaxRX system has these waxed softening drops that break down earwax inside the ear.
Speaker 164 It's not something that people want to talk about, but again, you're doing this at your house, and you want to make sure that it's actually done the right way.

Speaker 106 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 157 I think the Russian bots must have been
Speaker 156 working Twitter last night because the phone calls are overwhelmingly in agreement.
Speaker 194 No missile or tank parade, Mr.
Speaker 177 President. Please.
Speaker 57 We go to Chris in North Carolina.
Speaker 14 Hello, Chris.
Speaker 176
Hello, Glenn. Thank you so much for taking my call.
I just wanted to let you know
Speaker 176
I am with you. I wish they would not spend money on a parade like this.
My son is a U.S. Marine, and he is against it also.
Speaker 176 And he just recently graduated from boot camp and breezed through it, and he's getting ready to be deployed now to Japan and South Korea.
Speaker 15 And I just wanted to tell you that
Speaker 176
the money is in bad shape over the money situation because he was issued his service weapon and he wouldn't shoot straight. And we grew up on a farm.
That's what we did.
Speaker 176
We shot and hunted and everything. And he said, Dad, my worst gun that we own shoots better than what I've got.
He said, everything is worn out.
Speaker 176 And he's certainly disillusioned and sad, but as a dad who loves his child more than life itself, I said, son, is there any way I can buy you a
Speaker 176 gun? He said, no, they won't let you do anything like that, Dad. We just stuck with what we've got.
Speaker 176 I said, well, surely if you're going to be deployed and you need this thing for your life, they'll certainly give you something better. He said, no, they told us this is it.
Speaker 176 They issued bayonets to them the other day and the tips were broken off of them.
Speaker 2 Oh, man.
Speaker 176
And I just, you know, when they think about spending money on things like that, when I have a son that is an absolute patriot who loves his country so much. He's a young man.
We've homeschooled him.
Speaker 176 We just love him so much. And he just, we we certainly didn't want him to go in, but I honor him for what he's doing.
Speaker 176
And he's disillusioned now, but he's going to do what he has to do because he's a tough, tough fella in the U.S. Marine.
And he just, he wants to serve and feels like he should serve.
Speaker 176
And, but it's sad for me. If I could just, if I could pay for it, my church would...
would take up money like crazy to give these guys weapons to do their jobs but
Speaker 176 spend money on a crazy stinking crazy uh parade please, please don't do something like that.
Speaker 176 But I wish there was someone I could tell, and I'm so thankful for you taking my call because I'm so frustrated as a dad who just loves his son so much. But
Speaker 15 give me your take on it, Glenn.
Speaker 190 Chris,
Speaker 120 I thank you for
Speaker 87 your son's service and
Speaker 195 your willingness to...
Speaker 52 To stay calm and rational.
Speaker 31 I think if my son was given a gun that didn't shoot straight,
Speaker 185 I think I'd be losing my mind.
Speaker 48 You know, you're not sending my son there.
Speaker 70 Back in World War II, the American people were asked to lend the United States government their rifles because we didn't have enough rifles.
Speaker 48 And so a lot of people went with
Speaker 70 rifles that they had from the farms and people sent them in from all over the country so they could fight.
Speaker 53 There is nothing wrong with somebody being able to buy their own gun if it means
Speaker 135 life and death.
Speaker 15 Okay, you want me to buy a certain kind?
Speaker 61 Okay, I'll buy the certain kind, but I better get it on discount because you're buying them in bulk.
Speaker 31 But maybe that's just me.
Speaker 67 So first of all, Chris, thank you for that.
Speaker 136 And Stu, would you make a note?
Speaker 138 I want to look into that.
Speaker 155 I want to see if this is happening with more than just Chris
Speaker 185 and what's
Speaker 179 really going on.
Speaker 53 Chris, other than that, I think you're right on the missile parade.
Speaker 55 And if we really want to honor our troops, we equip them,
Speaker 48 we give them rules of engagement that allow them to win, which Donald Trump has done,
Speaker 48 and then we bring them home.
Speaker 159 And then when they come home, we can have the biggest parade ever.
Speaker 64 As long as we have first paid for their medical care to make sure that they are mentally healthy again, that we help these guys who are
Speaker 159 coming back home and they're feeling worthless and
Speaker 67 are killing themselves at record numbers.
Speaker 33 There's something wrong, and it's our responsibility to take care of that.
Speaker 67 Chris, thanks for your call.
Speaker 67 This missile parade.
Speaker 70 Stu said to me in the break, he said, I knew I remembered we made a big deal out of this.
Speaker 15 It was an audiobook, wasn't it?
Speaker 80 2009 audiobook, Glenn Beck.
Speaker 116 America's March to Socialism: Why We're One Step Closer to Giant Missile Parades, was the subtitle.
Speaker 89 That's been a joke we've made for a million years.
Speaker 77 It's like that's something that we do in America.
Speaker 101 And again,
Speaker 78 you know, we don't know the details.
Speaker 79 Who knows?
Speaker 95 We just should stop it before those.
Speaker 73 If that's the direction it's going, let's make noise about it so it doesn't go that direction.
Speaker 189 I remember
Speaker 53 it was a week after 9/11,
Speaker 177 And I flew up to
Speaker 52 New York. I was living in Tampa.
Speaker 167 It was the first day you could fly.
Speaker 195 And we flew,
Speaker 179 I don't remember what airline it was.
Speaker 177 But it was the first day.
Speaker 177 And the airport was empty.
Speaker 56 And there were four of us on a 737.
Speaker 25 Four.
Speaker 177 There was my wife and I, another guy who sat maybe 10 rows back, and somebody else that was about 10 rows forward.
Speaker 177 And the guy who was ahead of us was a jerk.
Speaker 28 And
Speaker 39 honestly,
Speaker 177 he got into an argument with the stewardess over something. And he was starting to pitch a fit.
Speaker 189 And the four of us, sorry, the three of us got up and stood in the seat behind him.
Speaker 177 And she just looked at us and she said, Please, I have this.
Speaker 120 And we all said, We have your back.
Speaker 135 And we pulled together over this jerk.
Speaker 53 As we were flying in, the other guy who was behind us,
Speaker 177 he sat across the row when we sat down.
Speaker 179 He was a firefighter from the Tampa area.
Speaker 52 And he was coming to go volunteer.
Speaker 195 And we flew over over New York City, and it was completely dark.
Speaker 64 It was just, it was, it was bizarre.
Speaker 33 And these giant spotlights
Speaker 180 on the pit.
Speaker 163 We saw it coming in.
Speaker 66 And the next day, we were going to it.
Speaker 185 I was.
Speaker 64 going to go to ground zero
Speaker 70 And I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 177 And it was the worst experience of my life.
Speaker 185 It was surreal and horrible.
Speaker 64 And it took me 10 years.
Speaker 185 I could think of the moment and I could still smell the smell of ground zero for 10 years.
Speaker 140 But that was the first time I ever saw tanks on the streets of New York.
Speaker 78 I saw Humvees with
Speaker 177 machine guns on top.
Speaker 177 I saw troops in military fatigues and razor-wire fences.
Speaker 163 I had never seen that in America.
Speaker 44 I don't ever want to see it again.
Speaker 31 Tanks on somebody else's streets?
Speaker 192 If we have to send them, we do.
Speaker 177 I don't ever want to see tanks on the streets of America because I've seen them when they were needed.
Speaker 55 And it is an image that I will never, ever forget.
Speaker 52 When my kids have to see tanks on the streets of America, I want them to know that's a sign of deep, deep trouble.
Speaker 52 Talk to you a little bit about Valentine's Day.
Speaker 129 Do you guys like Valentine's Day?
Speaker 95 It's fine.
Speaker 74 It's not a, we don't go crazy for it. It's nice to dinner.
Speaker 71
That's about it. Yeah.
We don't, you know.
Speaker 64 Yeah, we do flowers and dinner.
Speaker 79 You got to have the flowers.
Speaker 193 You got to have the dinner. Yeah.
Speaker 73 There's a couple things that you do, but it's not a big, I don't know.
Speaker 78 I mean,
Speaker 74 it's something that if you screw it up,
Speaker 78 you're in a a lot of trouble.
Speaker 149 I can say that.
Speaker 64 We talked about this just the other day.
Speaker 177 I'll never forget the day we first moved to New York, and it was
Speaker 52 Valentine's Day, and we had all of us had completely spaced it because
Speaker 70 we were just busy.
Speaker 62 And we're like, oh, it's New York.
Speaker 53 You'll always be at Flex.
Speaker 37 No, no.
Speaker 167 And we stood in the subway.
Speaker 64 tunnels and there was like this flower store underneath Rockefeller Center where we worked and we stood in line.
Speaker 136 I stood in line for probably 40 minutes.
Speaker 31 And literally when I got there, they were selling baby's breath.
Speaker 64 That was it.
Speaker 159 And I came home and
Speaker 28 that wasn't good.
Speaker 3 That wasn't good.
Speaker 172 That was not ideal.
Speaker 136 No, that was the year my wife was pregnant with Cheyenne.
Speaker 28 It was
Speaker 179 good timing on that one.
Speaker 14 Good.
Speaker 9 Yeah. So I've learned my lesson and here it is.

Speaker 161 Glenn Beck Mercury.
Speaker 161 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 70 I have a friend who is helping me through some issues that I have with the mainstream press
Speaker 52 because I just, I have a hard time getting past the duplicity of the last 10 years.
Speaker 52 I saw something yesterday where this woman was talking about, you know, Donald Trump is going to build concentration camps.
Speaker 156 And everybody's like,
Speaker 2 yeah, I know.
Speaker 15 And I'm thinking to myself, wait, hold it.
Speaker 189 What?
Speaker 28 I got in trouble for debunking the concentration camp rumor.
Speaker 50 They forever tied it.
Speaker 16 It said Glenn Beck's conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 104 He's saying there's concentration.
Speaker 106 No, I debunked that.
Speaker 33 And now they're openly saying it about Donald Trump, and it just seems to be okay.
Speaker 71 So I'm having a, I'm having some issues with that.
Speaker 116 You're having a little bit of a tough time.
Speaker 185 I am. I am.
Speaker 167 I saw Donny Deutsch yesterday or day before on television talking about it's time for a revolution and not a political revolution.
Speaker 157 Remember, we were called revolutionaries, anti-government, anti-president, yada, yada, yada, pro-violence.
Speaker 12 We were not calling for a revolution.
Speaker 62 We were talking about a political revolution.
Speaker 101 That's not what Donny Deutsch is talking about.
Speaker 9 And we thought we would put together just a little then and now of the mainstream media of what they said about us and what they're saying now about actual revolutionaries.
Speaker 123 It's a movement that is sweeping the nation all across the country.
Speaker 96 You make the difference.
Speaker 84 Do not stand and look to someone else.
Speaker 84 Look to yourself.
Speaker 2 Pick up your stick
Speaker 2 and stand.
Speaker 24 People need to start taking to the streets.
Speaker 115 This is a dictator.
Speaker 98 This is not time to analyze and pundit.
Speaker 91 People, this is a, we need a revolution at this point.
Speaker 102 And I'm not doing TV here and I'm not going to be able to do it.
Speaker 3 No, no, no, see, Donald, this is what's going on.
Speaker 169
Republicans are encouraging more violence, more revolution. revolution.
We talk about a political revolution, but we don't mean a physical violent revolution, obviously, right?
Speaker 141 Giant protests against Donald Trump, and I love the unity of all these different groups, women and men, blacks, Latinos,
Speaker 141 whites, all getting together and saying, okay,
Speaker 39 this is unacceptable.
Speaker 14 It's dangerous.
Speaker 63 It's very dangerous.
Speaker 98 A small group of dedicated, ideologically driven individuals are able to dictate
Speaker 83 to the Senate and the House what our course of action is going to be.
Speaker 196 We are so excited that the American public is energized to speak out against the abuses of this administration.
Speaker 197 The discourse in America, I have noticed it take
Speaker 197 a very precipitous turn with towards towards edginess and a lack of civility with the growth of the Tea Party movement.
Speaker 196
Tens of thousands of people rallied to save our health care. Then the women's march that was organized at a grassroots label.
Then people coming out and protesting these orders.
Speaker 197 What the Tea Party has done is they have taken it to a different level. And so when they come and disagree with you,
Speaker 197 you're not just wrong, you're the enemy.
Speaker 170 A violent protest on the campus of UC Berkeley.
Speaker 7 Young people at Berkeley.
Speaker 4 are protesting against this unconstitutional order. I thought it was a beautiful sight.
Speaker 198 You stay with these wackos, you stay with these extreme people on the fringe, and you're just going to cease to exist as a party.
Speaker 196 What we've got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box.
Speaker 199 This is irresponsible and it's reckless. Why does this senator or the Tea Party Republicans think they can pick and choose the priorities of the American government?
Speaker 4 Ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together.
Speaker 3 They've marched. They've led.
Speaker 4
Yes, some of them have died. We have done this before.
We can do this again.
Speaker 200 Is that what they're doing? They're running around with placards of Obama with a Hitler mustache on him.
Speaker 83 It's a nutty, nutty movement. What makes Trump the new Hitler?
Speaker 182 Do you have examples of him being anti-Semitic?
Speaker 14 No, not for safety.
Speaker 168 And when we are at a loss amidst the hypocrisy and the casual violence of certain individuals and institutions, we will, as per Chief Jim Hopper, punch some people in the face when they seek to destroy the legal and the vision franchise.
Speaker 29 And you know what?
Speaker 130 If you still don't get it in Washington, maybe that explains why your poll numbers are so low.
Speaker 130 If you don't understand it in New York, maybe that's why your newspapers are going bankrupt and your television ratings stink on ice. It's not us.
Speaker 169 It's you.
Speaker 60 You can find that. We'll post that
Speaker 64 at theblaze.com and also we'll Facebook and tweet it out here.
Speaker 157 It's pretty amazing to see what they're saying today, what they said then, what they're saying today, When there is actual violence on the streets, when there are people actually calling for revolution, they seem to ignore it.
Speaker 70 And I'm having a difficult time getting past the past.
Speaker 188 And I need to.
Speaker 120 And we're going to talk about that hopefully a little bit tomorrow.
Speaker 120 Glenn, back.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
Speaker 3 Love. Courage.
Speaker 4 Truth.
Speaker 5 Glenn Beck.
Speaker 64 I remember the first time I took my daughter on a father-daughter date.
Speaker 177 She was probably six.
Speaker 177 And I took her to Broadway because she used to watch The King and I.
Speaker 66 And
Speaker 177 I would watch it with her and I would spend more time watching her.
Speaker 63 And we went to Broadway and I'll never forget she wanted to wear her pretty shoes.
Speaker 177 And so she got all dressed up.
Speaker 179 And I got all dressed up.
Speaker 86 And we went to Broadway.
Speaker 52 And we saw The King and I.
Speaker 48 I spent the whole night, and she remembers this.
Speaker 136 She remembers every time she would look at me, I was looking at her.
Speaker 177 I didn't watch the show at all. I watched my little girl sitting on the edge of the seat
Speaker 86 in wonder.
Speaker 177 We still go on father-daughter dates.
Speaker 39 And anytime we can see the king and I, we do.
Speaker 177 And it's still just as magical.
Speaker 86 I just saw the tour of
Speaker 64 King and I.
Speaker 52 And I found myself doing the same thing now watching my 30-year-old daughter sit on the edge of her seat.
Speaker 185 Those are magical moments.
Speaker 177
I'm going to tell you a story about Victoria. She had her dress and her shoes all picked out.
She was so excited. There was a father-daughter dance.
Speaker 177 It was at PS65 Staten Island.
Speaker 194 It was supposed to happen this Friday.
Speaker 177 Yesterday, Victoria came home with some disappointing news.
Speaker 87 Her school's parent-teacher association was forced to reschedule the dance because of the Department of Education's gender-neutral policy, which requires school events to include all types of students and families.
Speaker 177 The father-daughter dance was canceled because it only included fathers and daughters.
Speaker 69 You want to know why Donald Trump won?
Speaker 135 Because of this.
Speaker 72 I mean, is there anybody within the sound of my voice?
Speaker 69 If a daughter goes with a grandfather or an uncle or a friend or their mom, because they don't have a dad in their life, do you think anyone at the school is going to say anything?
Speaker 38 Do you think anyone is that callous?
Speaker 11 And if they are that callous, do you think that the rest of the people around wouldn't say, hey, dude, what's wrong?
Speaker 109 What's your problem?
Speaker 20 This is this political correctness is taking over our lives.
Speaker 48 You want to know why Donald Trump won?
Speaker 10 It's because people don't feel they are being heard.
Speaker 48 You want to know why there's real danger headed our way?
Speaker 128 It's because when people don't feel heard and they feel that the things and the traditions that they grew up with
Speaker 122 when they feel those are being destroyed people tend to get a little testy
Speaker 30 this is not a daddy mommy son daughter cousin godfather sister-in-law dance
Speaker 61 because when everyone is invited then it's just called a dance
Speaker 137 For many fathers, daddy-daughter dances are really one of the only times the much-needed chance to bond with their girls.
Speaker 81 Why is it people want to destroy a relationship that is hard to build in the first place between their daughter and their father?
Speaker 81 Relationships with your dad can be easy for some.
Speaker 123 It can be extraordinarily difficult for others.
Speaker 33 The madness of this political correctness has destroyed this special occasion for them, and that is tragic.
Speaker 17 PS65 has rescheduled the event to take place in March, but now it's open to everyone.
Speaker 100 Other schools have followed suit.
Speaker 33 PS30 is having a fudge dance that stands for fun with uncles, dads, grandpa, etc.
Speaker 166 Again, Bring your uncle, bring your grandfather, bring your mother.
Speaker 126 Nobody's going to say anything if that is the only person in your life.
Speaker 146 We will look at you and we will look at the grandfather with pride and joy that he's in her life.
Speaker 40 This is shameful.
Speaker 147 You need to organize your own daddy-daughter dance.
Speaker 22 And you need to, you need to,
Speaker 81 not with, and only the dad can be there.
Speaker 53 Just invite normal people, just normal Americans, because we all get it.
Speaker 191 The public school system has gone crazy.
Speaker 28 But that doesn't mean that you can't show your daughters that it's important to spend time with dad.
Speaker 1 It's Wednesday, February 7th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 182 It could be this one.
Speaker 48 You want to know why Donald Trump won?
Speaker 7 While the less witted, while the less witted of NFL players were significantly pissing people off by kneeling during the national anthem anthem at their games.
Speaker 72 One linebacker has succumbed to the dangers of having a large population of illegal aliens in our midst.
Speaker 31 His name is Edwin Jackson.
Speaker 12 The suspected drunk driver who killed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson in a crash on the morning of the Super Bowl is a Guatemalan citizen who is in the U.S.
Speaker 31 illegally and has been deported twice.
Speaker 178 They identified the driver of the F-150 truck in the incident as Man Emmanuel Orego Salva,
Speaker 132 37.
Speaker 51 He was deported in 2007 and deported again in 2009.
Speaker 53 Jackson, 26, Jeffrey Monroe, 54, also in the vehicle, were hit and killed around 4 a.m.
Speaker 70 Sunday on Interstate 70.
Speaker 154 Investigators believe
Speaker 163 Monroe was Jackson's Uber driver and Jackson was the passenger.
Speaker 11 Fox 59 reported that at some point during the ride, Jackson became sick and the pair were hit on the emergency shoulder of the highway after Monroe pulled over.
Speaker 151 Didn't have to happen.
Speaker 151 Didn't have to happen.
Speaker 157 Try this.
Speaker 18 German politicians are expressing shock over a new report from the German federal police that show there were almost 100 anti-Christian hate crimes in Germany last year.
Speaker 28 Almost 100.
Speaker 11 The German website says one quarter of the 97 cases were attacks on churches and Christian symbols, and there were 14 cases of violent anti-Christian crimes among asylum seekers or refugees.
Speaker 62 But an outside group, Open Doors, suggests there's far more than this report suggests.
Speaker 110 Open Doors, which tracks the persecution of Christians worldwide, recorded 743 cases of anti-Christian attacks in German refugee homes over eight months.
Speaker 12 Open Doors Germany
Speaker 150 told
Speaker 9 newspapers over in Germany, the victims told us the attackers would say things like, I will cut off your head because you're a non-believer.
Speaker 12 You're contaminating the kitchen or you're defiling the fridge.
Speaker 13 There was also a Muslim apostate murdered
Speaker 11 by a fellow Afghan asylum seeker after she converted to Christianity.
Speaker 16 He staked her out at the supermarket that she frequents, and then when she arrived, he stabbed her repeatedly in front of her two children.
Speaker 70 He claims her Christianity had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 53 Prosecution says that's exactly why he did it.
Speaker 28 So, what happens?
Speaker 62 I brought you those two stories
Speaker 56 because they are similar.
Speaker 9 They're not the same, but they're similar.
Speaker 182 Here's what the similarity is:
Speaker 48 Dangerous people are in our country, and our government is ignoring it.
Speaker 31 Whether that is a Muslim extremist, and not all Muslims are extremists,
Speaker 154 but whether that's a Muslim extremist that nobody wants to even admit even exist,
Speaker 11 or a violent offender who should not be here
Speaker 117 because they were violent in their own country and they came here, or they had been deported time and time again and they should not be here.
Speaker 184 And because our governments are not listening to us,
Speaker 28 that is going to boil over.
Speaker 192 But they're not listening to us on something else either.
Speaker 33 And it goes to the father-daughter dads.
Speaker 192 This is a tradition.
Speaker 147 And yes, we all know that families are not the same.
Speaker 51 And we all know that all kids don't have dads.
Speaker 14 We know that.
Speaker 87 But some do.
Speaker 192 And this is an important tradition.
Speaker 66 And
Speaker 68 why is it that our traditions have to be destroyed
Speaker 25 for other people?
Speaker 37 Why can't we also do our tradition?
Speaker 133 This is important.
Speaker 120 Why can't we do that?
Speaker 14 Well, they're going to feel bad.
Speaker 48 I got news for you, man.
Speaker 110 I'm 53 years old.
Speaker 14 I feel bad a lot of the time.
Speaker 146 You're going to feel bad.
Speaker 65 People are going to hurt your feelings.
Speaker 33 People are going to say things that really make you angry.
Speaker 20 People are going to say things that are stupid, that are racist, that are xenophobic,
Speaker 37 that are sexist, it's going to happen.
Speaker 109 It's called life.
Speaker 32 And so, when you start to destroy people's culture,
Speaker 116 they start to push back.
Speaker 128 And they can only take so much.
Speaker 37 What is the real root of Brexit?
Speaker 57 The real root of Brexit is, you know,
Speaker 153 we're English.
Speaker 140 We're English.
Speaker 122 And we're proud to be English.
Speaker 81 And there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 26 We have a rich, long history.
Speaker 124 We're Italians and we have a history that is important.
Speaker 181 We're Swedish and our culture is important.
Speaker 110 They're being taught now in Sweden that their culture is not important.
Speaker 88 If you've ever been to Sweden, just look at the architecture.
Speaker 61 I was talking to a Swede when I was there and they said, yeah, well, you know, we're not really that special.
Speaker 12 I said, we have, I've never seen architecture like this before.
Speaker 181 This is Swedish architecture.
Speaker 93 This is this. This is yours.
Speaker 122 It belongs to you.
Speaker 146 And you should be proud of it.
Speaker 33 Now, not to the exclusion of everything else. That's not what anybody is saying.
Speaker 65 But why is it we can't have our traditions?
Speaker 110 Why is it we can't be proud of things that we should be proud?
Speaker 10 We should be proud of things yet still humble.
Speaker 28 But we're being forced into a corner.
Speaker 56 And that is going to be colossally dangerous.
Speaker 28 Last night,
Speaker 145 I did a story
Speaker 14 about England.
Speaker 56 I'm sorry, about Europe.
Speaker 11 And something that is called the 120 decibel movement.
Speaker 194 120 dB, hashtag 120 dB.
Speaker 26 And if you start to look at it, you'll you'll go, look at,
Speaker 16 I even retweeted and said, we have to support the
Speaker 9 women who are being raped and abused in Europe.
Speaker 155 But 120 DB,
Speaker 49 I didn't know who they were.
Speaker 158 And as soon as I posted it, I thought, boy, I wonder if I should probably look in a little more.
Speaker 11 So I just started reading tweets.
Speaker 13
And then I started following links. And that's what we did.
And last night, I showed you the connections.
Speaker 106 This is a pop-up
Speaker 185 movement.
Speaker 34 This is the tides foundation of Europe.
Speaker 30 Except it's on the uber-uber right.
Speaker 72 And in England, or I'm sorry, in Europe, the right is spooky.
Speaker 12 It's not a constitutional right.
Speaker 16 It's a national socialist right.
Speaker 57 And this is starting to take Europe by storm.
Speaker 11 I've told you before, you will see the hatreds of the 1930s repeat itself in Europe, and it is beginning.
Speaker 10 So we did our homework last night, and I showed you the really intoxicating messages, the things that
Speaker 33 you might listen to and go, yeah, damn right, that's right.
Speaker 37 They just happened to
Speaker 37 one of our football players because of an immigrant who was here.
Speaker 112 This happened to Kate Stele.
Speaker 139 And you will feel the same intoxicating emotion.
Speaker 153 But what is behind it?
Speaker 9 Tonight, I'm going to expose something that is happening over in Europe, but also happening here with the names and the quotes and the places.
Speaker 61 If you remember when we exposed the Tides Foundation and I warned you,
Speaker 101 this is a bogus,
Speaker 46 they serve bogus movements.
Speaker 62 The same thing is now happening here, but it's happening now to our side.
Speaker 119 And it is critical that you understand the faces behind it.
Speaker 15 Tonight I will show you the Puppet Master.
Speaker 129 Remember, I showed you the Puppet Master on Fox.

Speaker 135 Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 14 Glad you're here.
Speaker 77 Now, I don't know if you know this, but women have the right to be believed and must be believed at all times.
Speaker 7 No, that's.
Speaker 64 We all have a right to be heard and taken seriously.
Speaker 53 Then we have to be judged on the merits of whatever it is we're saying.
Speaker 14 That,
Speaker 101 well, hashtag me too after you said that because I feel assaulted.
Speaker 131 A federal judge, however, is in this one case, and it's just one case, and this is a total exception. And probably the judge is a man or something, and that's why this has happened.
Speaker 116 A federal judge has recommended that James Madison University pay nearly $850,000 in damages to an anonymous student who says the school punished him for a rape he didn't commit using a secretive process that didn't allow him to confront witnesses or present evidence.
Speaker 75 Oh my gosh.
Speaker 79 John Doe, it's not his real name, guys.
Speaker 78 Oh, really? So you know.
Speaker 77 Won his lawsuit.
Speaker 52 I was so busy eating a, you know, a tide pod.
Speaker 48 I didn't think that John Doe, I didn't think that through.
Speaker 73 John Doe won his lawsuit against James Madison, who was a real person.
Speaker 77 But that university, just before Christmas,
Speaker 77 according to the college fix, when another federal court judge found that the school had violated his constitutional right to due process when they gave him a five and a half year suspension based on a bizarre double jeopardy clause contained in a 2011 Obama administration directive to institutions of higher education.
Speaker 129 The letter instructed schools to suspend the guarantee against double jeopardy if further evidence presented itself after a student had been cleared of sexual assault.
Speaker 79 In this case, he was accused of a rape by a female classmate and exonerated by a faculty panel.
Speaker 75 Which, of course, is a faculty panel is the place where
Speaker 77 you want to adjudicate a
Speaker 14 rape case. A rape case.
Speaker 13 That's when you want to find. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 12 You don't want a real judge or jury or defendant.
Speaker 98 You shouldn't
Speaker 67
have a system. No.
No.
Speaker 183 No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 193 In fact, my only problem with this is why is there any trial at all?
Speaker 88 Because she deserves to be believed.
Speaker 101 Yeah.
Speaker 53 You know, the fact that he still lives today and collect this, can collect this money is an affront to my sensibilities.
Speaker 14 It is. It is.
Speaker 73 Now, Jane Rowe, which also not her real name, complained that she was not given a fair hearing, and James Madison gave a second try here at the case.
Speaker 75 The appeal board effectively reversed the decision of the hearing board without any explanation whatsoever and without ever expressing a finding that Doe was responsible for the sexual misconduct.
Speaker 79 Well, that's a good reason to suspend him anyway and throw him out of school.
Speaker 102 That's
Speaker 95 not a big shock to your life.
Speaker 42 You destroy him and ban him for five and a half years?
Speaker 7 No big deal.
Speaker 73 This, the judge found in December, was a violation of Doe's constitutional rights and a shocking example of how the campaign against campus sexual assault has destroyed the concept of due process at America's colleges.
Speaker 79 And it's interesting because this Me Too thing, every once in a while will say, you know what?
Speaker 79 I mean, look, I'm glad Harvey Weinstein is, you know, is getting called out, but this could get out of control really fast.
Speaker 129 We know this has already happened in college.
Speaker 75 It's already out of control.
Speaker 116 Kids are getting thrown out all the time for doing nothing.
Speaker 12 And think about what they're learning about justice: that justice does not come from a court.
Speaker 62 You're raped.
Speaker 16 You get justice from the group of people that are on campus.
Speaker 14 That's a bad lesson to teach.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
Speaker 1 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 59 Welcome to the program.
Speaker 105 Glad you're here.
Speaker 53 Pat Gray has just joined us.
Speaker 43 It was kind of a late evening last night.
Speaker 154 We're starting a new show on television starting next week.
Speaker 64 It's the news and why it matters.
Speaker 48 And
Speaker 97 it's all about the why behind every story.
Speaker 178 And it will begin airing at 5.30
Speaker 64 Eastern Time, right after my program.
Speaker 71 All three of us back together.
Speaker 66 Yeah. And Doc and Sarah is going to be moderating.
Speaker 64 Yeah.
Speaker 43 And it's a really smart show. We've been in rehearsals to have done a couple of shows.
Speaker 135 Really, really smart show.
Speaker 64 Really fascinating show.
Speaker 42 But last night we were in a photo shoot for
Speaker 177 the press around it or whatever.
Speaker 66 And
Speaker 135 Pat didn't realize that they were live streaming Facebook.
Speaker 28 Really?
Speaker 14 Yeah. Oh, good.
Speaker 71 Which I was happy about, too. I was happy.
Speaker 14 You were happy about that.
Speaker 106 Yeah, too.
Speaker 7 So
Speaker 18 I've posted it on my Facebook page.
Speaker 14 Man, you jerk.
Speaker 2 And it is,
Speaker 150 it's about
Speaker 61 between four and five minutes into it.
Speaker 152 Pat and I, at about four-minute mark, you hear Pat and I, barely, you have to kind of just really listen.
Speaker 138 But you'll hear Pat and I talking.
Speaker 9 James Brown,
Speaker 14 I don't know, Papa, a brand new bag or something was playing.
Speaker 9 And Pat said, this is the worst music of all time.
Speaker 138 And I think think I said, you're the whitest white man in America.
Speaker 57 He may have claimed that he was the whitest white man in America.
Speaker 163 And he proudly took that title, you know, and said, well, that's why I listened to Boston and
Speaker 28 Foreigner.
Speaker 14 And
Speaker 149 anyway.
Speaker 149 Yeah.
Speaker 14 And that's it. But anyway.
Speaker 2 Rick Asley.
Speaker 14 Yeah.
Speaker 81 So I said, so we got into a little debate, just a personal debate.
Speaker 152 Wasn't, I mean, you could just barely hear it, but you can make it out.
Speaker 13 We got into a little debate that I was the whitest white man in America, not him, because he could at least dance to this.
Speaker 117 I might like it, but I can't dance to it.
Speaker 11 So then we all start paying attention to, you know, the photo shoot, and Pat just starts to dance.
Speaker 3 And it goes on for like two minutes, and it is.
Speaker 59 Oh, boy. It's quite funny.
Speaker 145 There it is.
Speaker 135 There it is, Pat right there.
Speaker 150 You don't want to look?
Speaker 14 Oh, no.
Speaker 183 It's good. I'm not going to look.
Speaker 105 Oh, that's not, that's a bad part.
Speaker 13 That's nothing what you're showing there.
Speaker 105 He really gets into it.
Speaker 14 It was, I will say, considerably longer than I expected.
Speaker 73 I thought there was going to be a few seconds of dancing.
Speaker 14 Yeah.
Speaker 80 And then, you know, it was like a little joke.
Speaker 183 And then it really just after like five hours of photos, I was
Speaker 183 kind of bored.
Speaker 14 And so, uh, I mean, look at that.
Speaker 14 You have to
Speaker 114 go to my Facebook page.
Speaker 14 You have to see.
Speaker 183 Please don't.
Speaker 2 Please don't.
Speaker 2 It is. Please don't go to my life.
Speaker 37 Pat like you've never seen him before.
Speaker 61 And I'm just standing uncomfortably next to him.
Speaker 7 It's Pat like you never wanted to see him.
Speaker 14 Okay.
Speaker 28 Anyway,
Speaker 105 there dancing all by himself. Anyway,
Speaker 14 it's good stuff.
Speaker 114
Good stuff. So, Pat.
Yes.
Speaker 152 The news of the, you know, the tank parade and the military parade broke yesterday while we were together.
Speaker 14 Yeah.
Speaker 61 And I think the three of us all have the same opinion.
Speaker 183 I'm pretty excited about it because it was so charming when the Soviets did it.
Speaker 2 Right.
Speaker 14 Well, the Pentagon has said.
Speaker 183 That's the same kind of charm for our streets.
Speaker 33 The Pentagon did say that there will be no missiles in this parade.
Speaker 106 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 14 What's the point then? Right.
Speaker 90 I mean, would they do tanks?
Speaker 14 Would they do tanks?
Speaker 21 Yeah, tanks have been specifically requested.
Speaker 183 No one wants that in America, do they?
Speaker 64 No, no, I haven't.
Speaker 90 Have you talked to anybody who said, yeah, that's a really good idea?
Speaker 33 No, only on social media.
Speaker 100 I posted last night.
Speaker 23 I was against it.
Speaker 13 And oh my gosh, did I get an earful?
Speaker 109 This is about the troops.
Speaker 146 You don't support the troops.
Speaker 106 Please.
Speaker 107 The troops, the troops,
Speaker 104 military parades in Washington.
Speaker 13 Let's say it costs $30 million.
Speaker 98 Yeah.
Speaker 47 Let's spend that on.
Speaker 97 Let's give them a raise.
Speaker 81 Would that be better for the troops?
Speaker 153 Yeah.
Speaker 20 Let's buy the gun.
Speaker 9 We had a dad call in and say,
Speaker 117 my son is a military guy.
Speaker 9 He just left boot camp and his gun won't shoot straight.
Speaker 183
We just talked to a guy today whose spots we're about to do. I don't know if I can even talk about it.
He is doing a charity for vets who have committed suicide because there's zero dollars for them.
Speaker 183
When they commit suicide, they lose all their benefits. And so a lot of these widows can't even bury them.
A lot of their families don't have any money to bury them. That's wrong.
Speaker 107 So this guy specifically raises money to bury troops who have committed suicide, which is 22 people a day.
Speaker 54 You know what? Can I tell you something?
Speaker 90 Killer.
Speaker 72 Take the $30 million and bury the people.
Speaker 28 Right. I mean,
Speaker 14 and why are they committing suicide?
Speaker 107 Because we're not taking care of them.
Speaker 183 While they, after they've been through hell on earth, and none of us can understand it who haven't been through it, they've been through it. And that's, you know, and then they're left.
Speaker 12 And a parade's not going to help that.
Speaker 62 A parade's not going to help that.
Speaker 33
Let's help them find jobs. Let's help them find peace.
Yes.
Speaker 62
Let's help them. Yes.
Let's get them. Let's help them.
Speaker 97 Let's get the mental health care.
Speaker 72 What is the name of this charity?
Speaker 178 Oh, we bring it in tomorrow.
Speaker 97 Yes.
Speaker 183 Oh, it's Dog Tag Furniture.
Speaker 67 Dog Tag Furniture.
Speaker 14 That's great. Yeah.
Speaker 191 That's great.
Speaker 183 So, yeah, we're going to be doing
Speaker 28 a meaning behind the name.
Speaker 191 Yeah, dog tags.
Speaker 117 I know, I know, but furniture.
Speaker 98 I mean, they make furniture.
Speaker 28 It's not a company.
Speaker 183
It's not furniture. He sells beautiful flags that he makes out of wood.
And then there's t-shirts and hoodies.
Speaker 57 And the proceeds all go to do that.
Speaker 14 And every penny goes to it.
Speaker 183
He gets nothing out of it except the satisfaction of helping out his brothers because five or six of them have committed suicide. He called them his battle buddies.
And
Speaker 183
his best friend committed suicide. Wow.
So, and they had no money for him because they lose their benefits. And I think they were given $300 by the federal government.
Speaker 183 Here, go bury your husband for $300.
Speaker 191 Thank you.
Speaker 183 Thanks. That's not going to do it.
Speaker 11 That won't pay for the
Speaker 183 announcements for $300.
Speaker 167 DogtagFurniture.com?
Speaker 14 I think.org.
Speaker 183 Yeah.
Speaker 14 Okay. So just Google it.
Speaker 170 There are a lot of important things we spend money on, though, and you guys are ignoring those.
Speaker 177 For example, if I may.
Speaker 106 Yeah, you may.
Speaker 79 California spent spent $110 million
Speaker 46 to convince people to join Obamacare.
Speaker 90 Now, it wasn't on health insurance.
Speaker 75 It was convincing people to join the health insurance, which of course would then cost more money
Speaker 73 because they'd have to pay for the health care.
Speaker 183 But it was only $110 million? $110 million.
Speaker 110 But it worked out really well.
Speaker 106 It worked out really well.
Speaker 2 Or did they get like 800,000 people signing up with that?
Speaker 73 A tad less, a tad less less than that less than 800 000 yeah it was it was a tad less than that they got 50 000.
Speaker 56 so what they did is they they basically wrote a check for twenty two hundred dollars to every person to sign them up for they didn't give it to them they just spent it it would have been easier to just give people give people money a thousand dollars to sign up and then that should have been the campaign just it's spread it word word of mouth right on social media for free we're giving you a thousand dollars to sign up up to 2.5 million dollars of course they're giving much more than $1,000 because they're paying for the health care too.
Speaker 14 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 92 So what they did is they spent $2,200 to acquire customers in which they would then pay them and a bunch of money to actually get onto the healthcare.
Speaker 84 That is, but we can't give more than $300 to a fallen soldier
Speaker 81 who's committed suicide
Speaker 101 to be buried.
Speaker 183 Because he's a mess after the hell we put him through.
Speaker 53 It's unbelievable.
Speaker 183
It's unbelievable. As you've said many times, Stu, why would the federal government advertise anything they do? Anything.
If you have to advertise what you're doing as a federal government,
Speaker 81
you shouldn't be doing it. Right.
Whatever it is.
Speaker 85 Because it's only things that people desperately need. It can even be possibly justified.
Speaker 91 Right. Right.
Speaker 75 Even those are, a lot of them aren't constitutional.
Speaker 90 But at least if people really, really need them so badly that they have to search out these topics, maybe you can justify it.
Speaker 97 Yeah.
Speaker 81 Instead, they are like, oh, we really, we need to, you know what?
Speaker 91 People don't forget to eat.
Speaker 85 You don't need to advertise food stamps.
Speaker 114 Which they'd love to do.
Speaker 108 But they do.
Speaker 183 Oh, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars advertising food stamps.
Speaker 90 Food stamps. I thought those were for poor people.
Speaker 81 No, if you're a billionaire, you can get them too.
Speaker 84 And it's like, why are you telling them that? If you make 12 figures, you might actually qualify.
Speaker 2 Thank you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 98 No, I think we learned.
Speaker 60 I think we all learned from the media last night what Kelly said about the lazy people.
Speaker 30 that sponge off the government.
Speaker 183 Well, the left is pissed because, of course, out of the 1.8 million, there's not a single lazy zero of them or lazy.
Speaker 14 I don't know if you, these are all good,
Speaker 183 all of them, good, hardworking family people who can't be separated from their family. Right.
Speaker 106 All of them.
Speaker 14 All of everyone.
Speaker 13 One of them.
Speaker 90 Yeah. They're so exceptional.
Speaker 14 These are like magic people.
Speaker 54
They're dreamers. They're dreamers.
They're dreamers.
Speaker 101 Now, so dreamers, the doers, the
Speaker 37 are the people that Kermit sang about.
Speaker 140 Yeah.
Speaker 3 Yeah.
Speaker 61 That amazing rainbow connection, which works on many levels today.
Speaker 65 So
Speaker 164 let me ask you this, Pat.
Speaker 33 Did the press get their microphones to work only on the last of the four points?
Speaker 138 Because what I thought I heard him say is: hey, some people, and I find it hard to believe that they didn't hear about it, but some people didn't hear to sign up.
Speaker 45 There are some people that were afraid to sign up.
Speaker 14 Which I can't imagine because their neighbors signed up two or three times. Right.
Speaker 3 Right. So we had to qualify.
Speaker 19 And he said, and also, you know, maybe they were waiting for others to sign up to see if they were doing it to see what would happen.
Speaker 153 Then number four was
Speaker 134 there are some people that were so lazy they didn't go out and do it.
Speaker 133 Now, the way he says it, if you listen to it, not just the first clip, but the second clip as well, where he's really talking about it,
Speaker 18 he's talking about it in a way that he's basically saying,
Speaker 9 You cared so little about American citizenship that you didn't even take the time.
Speaker 17 You couldn't take the time to even sign up for it, and yet we're still giving it to you.
Speaker 10 And that's his ultimate point.
Speaker 183 That's his point.
Speaker 84 Bottom line is, and yet you're still okay because Trump is your champion.
Speaker 97 Yeah.
Speaker 75 It's pretty amazing. Trump is what?
Speaker 183 His champion.
Speaker 101 Is it their champion?
Speaker 183 Yeah, that's exactly what he called him.
Speaker 14 No, that was president.
Speaker 149 No, no, no, that was Jeb Bush.
Speaker 14 No, that was double.
Speaker 98 You're right. You're right.
Speaker 21 It wasn't Jeb Bush.
Speaker 60 It was Marco Rubio.
Speaker 14 No, that was.
Speaker 113 Oh, no, my gosh. No, you're right again.
Speaker 14 It was Ted Cruz.
Speaker 3 It was Ted Cruz.
Speaker 104
No, no, no. It was never Ted.
Really?
Speaker 98 It was never Ted, actually.
Speaker 104 Because I remember those charges.
Speaker 37 No, no, no.
Speaker 98 Specifically on DACA.
Speaker 78 What? Jim Gilmore.
Speaker 3 No, it was Jim Gilmore.
Speaker 2 It wasn't even Jim Gilmore.
Speaker 14 No.
Speaker 30 Oh, the guy in Wisconsin.
Speaker 95 No, not the guy in Wisconsin.
Speaker 150 Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 No, no.
Speaker 14 No, it wasn't a Donald Parker.
Speaker 30 Okay, Santorum.
Speaker 14 Nope.
Speaker 96 I'm running out of people who could be Rand Paul.
Speaker 14 Nope. It was Donald Trump.
Speaker 101 Actually, Donald Trump. I mean, that is an amazing moment.
Speaker 78 That's an amazing moment.
Speaker 81 Isn't it?
Speaker 77 Again, we all understand the politics of this.
Speaker 131 We understand how these things work.
Speaker 91 But the guy who ran as the chief border hawk has his chief of staff on record in front of cameras and microphones saying that Donald Trump is the champion of 2 million illegal immigrants
Speaker 92 who are now going to get a path.
Speaker 91 to citizenship. Not legal status.
Speaker 108 So a path to citizenship.
Speaker 104 If
Speaker 93 we get real border security, which I don't believe at all.
Speaker 29 But if we get that, I'm okay with this.
Speaker 65 I just want the security first.
Speaker 183 I'm okay as long as it doesn't cascade into their parents, their cousins, their uncles, and become a chain migration.
Speaker 28 Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 14 Chain migration.
Speaker 14 Did you hear the racist, the dog whistle?
Speaker 2 Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 2 Chain basketball.
Speaker 13 Chain, chain.
Speaker 13 What are you calling him? Slaves?
Speaker 10 Chain migration.
Speaker 183 I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 140 People can't hear dog whistles.
Speaker 150 So
Speaker 2 that's a great point.
Speaker 14 If you're saying, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 That's right.
Speaker 14 People can't hear it at all. I mean, if only dogs can hear it, who cares if I said it? Because no person heard it.
Speaker 91 Patray Unleashed is
Speaker 7 coming up on the Blaze radio and TV now.

Speaker 21 There is a great story I'm just reading
Speaker 157 out of Dallas about this scam where
Speaker 41 this guy went to this cabinet maker, and he lives in a rural part of Texas, and he's just a simple Christian guy.
Speaker 46 And apparently, this scam artist.
Speaker 135 put together a team, a fleet of limousines and SUVs and fake security people and drove into this small dusty town of Texas and tried to convince this cabinet maker that he was a part of the Illuminati, part of the Illuminati, and the Illuminati had selected him for reasons that they couldn't talk about to invest a million dollars into one of their big things.
Speaker 28 Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 79 That was a great opportunity.
Speaker 120 Great opportunity. Yeah.
Speaker 117 And this cabinet maker did over two years.
Speaker 138 He invested a million dollars.
Speaker 154 The guy just, I mean, it was obviously a hoax.
Speaker 48 You're not saying the illuminati was a hoax you're saying this particular offer was oh no i'm not saying the illuminati is a hoax no sure not uh because i saw it on a taco bell commercial the illuminati yeah they they're they're the ones that came up with the nacho fries you know what's really crazy is is this guy this cabinet maker believed it um and well i could stop there but uh he believed it and he's a apparently some sort of a part of a christian group that you're you can't even sue if you've been wrong you don't you don't sue people so he wasn't able to sue or anything once he found out it was a scam.
Speaker 147 Somebody heard about it, called the FBI, and
Speaker 117 they came in for the guy with the Illuminati with a black helicopter.
Speaker 138 And I guess he's being taken home to the Rothschild
Speaker 105 vineyard.
Speaker 60 I'm not sure what happened to him, but
Speaker 157 that scam is over.
Speaker 5 Glenn, back.
Speaker 171 Mercury.
