Speaker 3 On demand.

Speaker 2 Love. Courage.

Speaker 6 No, it was a beautiful weekend, wasn't it?

Speaker 6 No, seriously. No, it was a beautiful weekend.

Speaker 8 If you had a chance to go out with your family and, you know, attend any of these marches, you heard the C word.

Speaker 12 You heard the F word, the P word, the S word, the D word.

Speaker 14 I could play some of it, but the FCC would fine me if

Speaker 6 I even showed you some of the signs that were brandished at the women's marches across the country this weekend.

Speaker 21 But you get the picture.

Speaker 11 Have you tried to even watch a TV show with your kids?

Speaker 22 I mean, anything off network?

Speaker 24 I mean, who knew The Odd Couple was on again?

Speaker 25 I had no idea.

Speaker 27 Matthew Perry, I guess, has done the third season of The Odd Couple.

Speaker 28 It's been

Speaker 29 who knew?

Speaker 30 Did you know that, Stu?

Speaker 31 I remember it starting.

Speaker 32 No,

Speaker 33 no, I didn't even hear that it started.

Speaker 35 But anyway, it's going on.

Speaker 36 And I'm like, okay, finally a show we can watch with the kids.

Speaker 34 Nah, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Speaker 37 The A-word is all over it.

Speaker 38 Thank you.

Speaker 21 Thank you.

Speaker 38 If you went to the marches with your daughters, and I know I'm speaking outside of this audience, but the vulgarity, the disgusting display of the women's marches across the country was appalling for so many reasons.

Speaker 6 The worst was how many moms expose their children to such rage and hatred.

Speaker 51 Kids have no idea what's going on. Kids have no idea.

Speaker 54 You're teaching them that this is who we are.

Speaker 56 I don't think parents know what's going on, quite honestly.

Speaker 34 Just for a second, think about what you're teaching your daughters.

Speaker 57 What was the message at the women's march?

Speaker 47 Something between I hate Trump and stay away from our genitalia I think I don't know

Speaker 58 that's not really productive

Speaker 28 what do you for

Speaker 60 if those who attended the women's march really cared about women's rights

Speaker 51 perhaps they would have spent a few minutes just a few minutes considering the march of life

Speaker 51 the message was clear, the message was noble.

Speaker 28 Let more women be born.

Speaker 11 The March for Lifers are literally trying to save the lives of millions of women.

Speaker 45 The women's marchers are marching to complain about Donald Trump.

Speaker 53 They are being used.

Speaker 11 Millions of women are being used for the next election.

Speaker 6 That's it.

Speaker 65 Save

Speaker 35 women.

Speaker 52 Let women be born.

Speaker 24 Complain about Donald Trump.

Speaker 59 You tell me which one's more heroic,

Speaker 69 which one, which one do you want your children to hear?

Speaker 1 It's Monday, January 22nd. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 27 I don't know the last time my blood pressure was this high.

Speaker 60 It's not going to be a healthy day for me.

Speaker 71 I've noticed that the pre-show meeting today was, I would say,

Speaker 75 on edge, perhaps would be the description.

Speaker 76 You know what?

Speaker 77 I

Speaker 78 today,

Speaker 78 now tomorrow, I hope to feel differently, but today, and all through the weekend,

Speaker 24 I am so tired of the media i am so tired of giving people the benefit of the doubt of looking towards and looking for the better better angels among us because i don't see them

Speaker 21 i i

Speaker 43 There are so many important things going on.

Speaker 69 Did you hear about the FBI this weekend?

Speaker 47 If you heard about the FBI this weekend, you probably weren't watching the news.

Speaker 68 You were probably reading it from a right-wing news site.

Speaker 14 Because,

Speaker 84 God forbid,

Speaker 87 anyone on the left actually reports the news that the FBI looks to be totally corrupt.

Speaker 15 Now, this coming from a guy who thinks there is something to be found with the Russia investigation on both sides.

Speaker 21 But

Speaker 29 when I read

Speaker 63 what the FBI agent who changed the language of the decision on Hillary Clinton, what he was texting back and forth to his girlfriend, his lover,

Speaker 54 what he was saying to her about Donald Trump.

Speaker 89 We already know that they needed an insurance policy.

Speaker 52 We already have that text.

Speaker 44 The text that came out this weekend and the fact that the FBI deleted 9,000 text messages between them

Speaker 20 is disturbing at best.

Speaker 45 But is the media on that? No.

Speaker 62 No, no, of course not.

Speaker 21 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 61 I am a fan and a supporter of Jake Tapper.

Speaker 91 I am a fan.

Speaker 44 I'm probably the only one on the right that is left as a fan and a supporter of Jake Tapper. What was Jake Tapper talking about this weekend with all of the things that are going on?

Speaker 96 CNN correspondent with Jake Tapper Tom Foreman noted that during a governmental shutdown in 2013, NASA was unable to monitor, quote, a potentially dangerous asteroid for more than two weeks.

Speaker 11 A big one, by the way, is expected to brush by Earth on February 4th.

Speaker 98 Okay,

Speaker 98 let me just tell you this.

Speaker 21 You call us fear-mongering?

Speaker 90 You call us fear-mongers?

Speaker 92 You say that we stir the population up?

Speaker 44 You're talking about an asteroid that might hit the Earth February 4th?

Speaker 81 First of all, it's not going to hit the Earth February 4th. And

Speaker 28 second, if it does hit the Earth, we're we're not going to know about it in advance anyway.

Speaker 66 All the government, they could all be working on it full-time.

Speaker 6 They're not going to tell us.

Speaker 84 How many times have we ever read or seen somebody always says, can't tell the people, they'll just panic.

Speaker 44 You're going to know that an asteroid is going to hit the earth as the asteroid hits the earth.

Speaker 103 But we've made it for quite some time without a life-killing asteroid hitting us.

Speaker 102 The last time, let's think back, was,

Speaker 44 yeah, that's right.

Speaker 84 The dinosaurs.

Speaker 93 And we're not even sure if that was an asteroid, but

Speaker 83 we're pretty sure it was an asteroid that killed all the dinosaurs.

Speaker 34 Okay.

Speaker 45 I think we're going to be okay in the next two weeks, Jake.

Speaker 83 I think we're going to be okay.

Speaker 88 I don't think we need to worry about those earth-killing asteroids during this shutdown.

Speaker 73 I will say the Eagles are in the Super Bowl, so if they're leading in the fourth quarter, an asteroid probably will hit the planet.

Speaker 56 Congratulations, by the way.

Speaker 21 We thought about you all night. Thank you.

Speaker 71 That's why it's hard for me to be upset today, as upset as you are.

Speaker 108 The whole government could melt to the ground right now, and I don't care.

Speaker 109 You know what?

Speaker 77 I just

Speaker 110 what is happening to us?

Speaker 24 What is happening to us?

Speaker 102 Our entire

Speaker 28 culture

Speaker 45 is going away.

Speaker 102 Our entire culture.

Speaker 78 And the media.

Speaker 98 Okay, this is what really set me off.

Speaker 6 Are you familiar with the Scotty Vest people?

Speaker 28 Yeah. Okay.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 34 Remember, they were big advertisers of ours. Right.
Yeah. Yeah.
Scotty Vest.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 52 Right. Who are they?

Speaker 87 Who are they?

Speaker 106 Who do they target, so to speak?

Speaker 21 I mean,

Speaker 17 I, my,

Speaker 107 I mean, if they advertise on this network, right? They're

Speaker 5 right.

Speaker 39 Like, it's, it's, it's a vest that, if I remember correctly, has like uh lots of cool pockets and places to store firearms and yeah uh yeah you know they that's a big part of their advertising campaign yeah so did you know last week that uh scotty vest uh what's his name jordan scott or whatever his name is um

Speaker 30 he he he felt comfortable enough

Speaker 7 to go out on Facebook and say, you know what?

Speaker 83 I see people up at the ski lifts wearing my vest and I'll say, where did you hear about us? And they'll say, Fox News.

Speaker 44 And I just laugh.

Speaker 48 I tell them, you know, I only advertise on Fox News because you guys, the audience is so gullible and stupid, you'd buy anything.

Speaker 81 Really?

Speaker 65 Really?

Speaker 2 Really? Wow.

Speaker 83 Really?

Speaker 35 Now.

Speaker 76 I tried to do my homework because I didn't want to just retweet that.

Speaker 49 I I mean, it happened last week.

Speaker 43 I didn't want to just retweet that the first time I saw it.

Speaker 51 So let's look into it. Is it true?

Speaker 48 Because he removed it from Facebook.

Speaker 61 So all you have is the word of somebody and you can mock up Facebook.

Speaker 28 Sure. Okay.

Speaker 10 Can I find any credible source?

Speaker 118 Can I find any source on the left that would have no reason to print that other than it's big news.

Speaker 25 Yeah, no.

Speaker 97 no they didn't even print it didn't even print it didn't cover it as a story well is that because it's not real uh no it's it's absolutely real you go to uh you go to scottyvest uh.com or whatever the hell their email or their uh website is and they've commented on it okay

Speaker 21 so

Speaker 58 the duplicity here

Speaker 123 And and and this is really what set me off.

Speaker 27 Listen to me carefully, media.

Speaker 100 You want to know why Donald Trump won?

Speaker 62 That's a prime example.

Speaker 28 Right there.

Speaker 62 A prime example.

Speaker 83 Did you read about

Speaker 63 the family with the 13 kids that had been

Speaker 124 chained into the basement that they found last week?

Speaker 10 Did you see the update on it over the weekend?

Speaker 34 Where

Speaker 63 the children talked about the torture the mental torture that the this couple did and what they would do is if the kids were really really hungry now remember the 29 year old female left her confinement at 87 pounds

Speaker 28 so they were always hungry so mom and dad would go out and they would get a pumpkin pie and an apple pie and they would put it just out of reach of the children.

Speaker 126 You want some pie, kids?

Speaker 83 kids mmm this is so good and they would never give them any of the pie but they would leave it there so they could see it so they could smell it but they could never eat it

Speaker 34 and they mocked them

Speaker 11 i contend That that's what the GOP has done to middle America.

Speaker 15 That's what the media has done to middle America.

Speaker 120 That's what politicians, what Hollywood and everybody else like Scotty Vest has done to middle America.

Speaker 51 And I'm sick of it.

Speaker 100 I am sick of it.

Speaker 92 I tolerate you.

Speaker 44 I tolerate the people and I even make friends and I have friends with people on the left.

Speaker 52 I respect them.

Speaker 30 I don't mock them.

Speaker 66 I even defend them.

Speaker 100 Even though I don't understand them,

Speaker 18 I try to understand.

Speaker 11 Now, there was a time that I was absolutely certain they were morons.

Speaker 55 There was a time that I was absolutely certain that they are anti-American liars.

Speaker 84 And I'm talking about, you know, the people who disagree with me.

Speaker 21 I'm not talking about the actual liars.

Speaker 38 But I have tried

Speaker 21 to look at everybody at where they are.

Speaker 88 What has happened in their life?

Speaker 38 What is their upbringing?

Speaker 87 What is their education?

Speaker 43 And I've tried to understand them.

Speaker 18 And I've tried to accept them for where they are.

Speaker 129 Can we get anybody on the other side that will do the same?

Speaker 54 Or are you just bilking

Speaker 34 the middle of America?

Speaker 92 Are you just using us for your ratings and for your money?

Speaker 54 Because that's all you're doing to us.

Speaker 68 You're marketing us.

Speaker 66 We're a collection of sheep to you.

Speaker 38 And you don't care if we're slaughtered or not.

Speaker 37 We're not even people to you.

Speaker 90 We're just a bunch of rubes that will buy your products.

Speaker 52 We're just a bunch of rubes that will be your fan.

Speaker 90 We're just a bunch of rubes that will watch your television show, will vote for you as you promise us.

Speaker 38 Oh, you want that?

Speaker 10 Oh, I want that too.

Speaker 36 My gosh, wouldn't that be great?

Speaker 92 I'm going to give, yeah,

Speaker 61 I'll tell you what, we're going to repeal Obamacare.

Speaker 82 Let me, in fact, I'm going to go out and get that right now and I'm going to set it just like that pie, just out of reach.

Speaker 45 And then when I have the power, I'll remind you that you're in chains and then I'll just mock you.

Speaker 66 I, for one, am done.

Speaker 120 Actually, let me rephrase.

Speaker 109 I'm done

Speaker 17 with those kinds of people.

Speaker 51 I'm just done with the game.

Speaker 63 I'm not going to, I'm not going to play your game or accept your game.

Speaker 44 Not...

Speaker 21 Oh, wait, wait.

Speaker 12 I'll be like the all-important left.

Speaker 44 Hashtag. Not another dime.

Speaker 103 Not another moment.

Speaker 47 But I wanted to rephrase because I don't mean that,

Speaker 16 well, I mean that literally, I don't mean that I'm done right now, because I have a lot more to say today.

Speaker 16 So

Speaker 115 for those of you watching CNN and you know that that asteroid could hit us by February 4th could

Speaker 8 heavens we're all going to die

Speaker 37 Let me now scaremonger you into being prepared Isn't that right?

Speaker 99 I mean, I don't know why and how

Speaker 53 the media can be this blind.

Speaker 63 They really don't know.

Speaker 88 Well, how is Donald Trump elected?

Speaker 88 We've done some real soul searching.

Speaker 43 everyone is mocking the center of the country.

Speaker 87 They've mocked and used and lied to us for

Speaker 51 God knows how long.

Speaker 15 And this is the first guy to stand up who says, I'm with them in a way.

Speaker 48 That his punch matters.

Speaker 109 You know, remember, Mitt Romney was the worst guy on the planet.

Speaker 93 My gosh, Mitt Romney, he's got files of women.

Speaker 52 You couldn't have had an easier go than Mitt Romney.

Speaker 44 Mitt Romney wasn't really a conservative.

Speaker 66 You couldn't have had an easier go, but you made him into the devil himself

Speaker 37 when you knew and we knew he wasn't.

Speaker 28 Okay.

Speaker 17 So what happens?

Speaker 28 It just gets worse and worse and worse until a fighter stands up.

Speaker 135 Until somebody stands up and says, oh, I'm with them.

Speaker 15 The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Speaker 102 That's why they're loyal to him.

Speaker 21 You can't see that?

Speaker 92 America is loyal, 35% loyal to him because they're tired of being punched in the face. They're tired of being taken for granted.
They're tired of not counting.

Speaker 81 They're tired of being called a racist.

Speaker 78 They're tired of being called a hater, a bigamist, a bigot.

Speaker 43 They're tired of being called a stupid Christian.

Speaker 52 They're tired of it.

Speaker 98 Most of all, they're tired of being used.

Speaker 115 They're just tired of it.

Speaker 131 You can only use people for so long.

Speaker 115 Once people wake up to the fact that, oh my gosh,

Speaker 54 you've been using me.

Speaker 33 You've been mocking me behind my back all this time.

Speaker 81 And then I took it because I thought we were friends.

Speaker 2 Holy cow. Glenn, back.

Speaker 2 Mercury.

Speaker 1 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 8 I do not mean to inflict him on you

Speaker 136 just to rile you up.

Speaker 115 I'm sorry to inflict him on you

Speaker 20 because I think a point needs to be made to the media.

Speaker 25 This is Rob Reiner at the women's march this weekend.

Speaker 138 We were all here a year ago

Speaker 138 for many different reasons.

Speaker 138 But one of the unifying reasons was

Speaker 138 we were scared.

Speaker 140 We were scared of who was going to enter the White House.

Speaker 140 A year has gone by.

Speaker 140 And he has corroborated every one of our fears.

Speaker 139 And we cannot whitewash this anymore

Speaker 91 we have a racist in the White House

Speaker 138 we have a sexist in the White House

Speaker 137 we have a pathological liar in the White House

Speaker 137 and he is tearing away at the fabric of our democracy And when we all came together last time,

Speaker 52 we had the power.

Speaker 138 And it's the women.

Speaker 137 Okay, stop.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 21 Do you remember?

Speaker 63 Do you remember 828?

Speaker 37 Do you remember going to Washington?

Speaker 46 Do you remember this time?

Speaker 64 And do you remember that

Speaker 88 the media was looking for signs.

Speaker 52 They were looking for anything.

Speaker 38 They wanted, they needed a sign that said Barack Obama is a Marxist.

Speaker 22 They needed it.

Speaker 46 Barack Obama is a liar.

Speaker 90 We want our government back because that was proof.

Speaker 91 That

Speaker 52 you were out of your control, out of control, nuts.

Speaker 22 nuts, you were a revolutionary, you were anti-government, and you were a racist.

Speaker 22 They're just fear-mongering.

Speaker 110 And what happened?

Speaker 17 We gathered, and the press didn't even notice.

Speaker 115 They still tried to make it about something else.

Speaker 88 Not once, not once,

Speaker 57 did they say, wow, maybe there's something else happening here.

Speaker 57 Maybe this is about something bigger than just Barack Obama.

Speaker 57 Nope.

Speaker 99 Nope. They could not do it.

Speaker 21 Imagine had I given that exact speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Speaker 66 Imagine if I said half of those things on that day.

Speaker 44 What would have happened to me?

Speaker 52 they are so certain that they are right

Speaker 92 they lack all self-reflection

Speaker 46 I'm gonna give you a little montage here

Speaker 102 because I learned a lesson

Speaker 65 You cannot think out loud.

Speaker 52 You can't, you can't question, you can't look at somebody's record of life You can't look at their words.

Speaker 83 Well, that's just the way white people will do you you can't look at their books.

Speaker 28 Well, my grandmother had it bred into her to fear black people you can't look at the record of where they went to church Jeremiah Wright

Speaker 66 and You can't look at what they're doing the police acted stupidly

Speaker 100 And say, you know what?

Speaker 102 I think this guy has a problem with race.

Speaker 54 You can't do that.

Speaker 52 You're a racist racist if you ask, is the president racist?

Speaker 84 Does the president have some racist tendencies?

Speaker 93 Is the president misinformed? Is the president out of step with

Speaker 65 regular America?

Speaker 21 Oh my gosh, what's regular America?

Speaker 83 How dare you?

Speaker 81 You mean white America, don't you?

Speaker 28 You're a racist.

Speaker 61 That's exactly what happened.

Speaker 28 God forbid you do that.

Speaker 110 Or

Speaker 131 is it suddenly okay?

Speaker 142 I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people. I'm saying he has a problem.
He has a...

Speaker 143 This guy is, I believe, a racist.

Speaker 144 Glenn Beck in the news.

Speaker 145 How is it possible that this guy can sit on national television and call the president of the United States a racist president?

Speaker 70 Sees everything through a racial prism and may even have his own racism.

Speaker 147 I wish we would just stop this.

Speaker 145 Glenn Beck and people like that need to stop. Stop this.

Speaker 9 The notion that Donald Trump reinforces his animus, his racially driven animus, his racism, that he demonstrates it over and over again from the Oval Office.

Speaker 145 You know, throwing out the R word, the racist word, and some other words are conversation stoppers.

Speaker 145 We're never going to get past the point where the Glenn Becks of the world will just hurl that out at people.

Speaker 149 What more do we need to see or hear from this racist man? Not only is he racist,

Speaker 149 he is an embarrassed man.

Speaker 52 These are the birthers.

Speaker 150 This is the narrative. They want the man to fail, and now they're labeling him.

Speaker 21 Hey, he's a racist.

Speaker 151 But it doesn't make what he said any less ignorant or any less racist. Not racial, not racially charged racist.

Speaker 145 As long as Glenn Beck is out there calling the president a racist or anyone else a racist, we're never going to get past this point of constantly reacting to racial flare-ups.

Speaker 107 Do you think President Trump is a racist?

Speaker 151 I think he is a racist.

Speaker 3 I see it with both Glenn Beck and with Rush Limbaugh.

Speaker 3 These guys with really suspect racial feelings and perceptions are projecting their own hate and their own devices and the same sentiment, Chris, and it's something something that virtually everyone recognized right away.

Speaker 5 It is racism.

Speaker 153 It's such a blunt object of racism.

Speaker 153 When you say racism,

Speaker 153 it's a big charge.

Speaker 59 Well, it's a huge, I find it awful. I think you have to be very careful.

Speaker 27 And then secondly, there's the racial angle. I don't think there's any getting away from the color of people from Norway as opposed to people coming from Haiti, Africa.

Speaker 146 I think a lot of that is

Speaker 146 simple grandstanding, making outrageous statements, provocateur.

Speaker 107 I don't have to show any moral courage when it comes to standing up to the racist comments made by the president.

Speaker 112 I can't believe it, first of all.

Speaker 152 Glenn Beck owes the president an apology. He owes the American people an apology.

Speaker 115 We take this

Speaker 115 additional, very clear racist thing.

Speaker 21 He's an evil man.

Speaker 152 This is an insult to our democracy, our way of life.

Speaker 142 We'd have to start calling things what they are.

Speaker 151 We'd have to stop asking if this person is a racist because the evidence is there.

Speaker 3 He is.

Speaker 156 I hate giving someone who says something like that any more attention. Outrageous is one way of putting putting it.
I would say irresponsible.

Speaker 9 If you put Haiti next to Norway, as Donny said, is a black and white issue, the way the president laid it out yesterday.

Speaker 157 If someone on the left had called George Bush a racist on TV, would we be throwing our hands up? Would we be so outraged?

Speaker 143 Would we demand an apology?

Speaker 148 We would.

Speaker 148 Really?

Speaker 148 I would. Sure.

Speaker 61 Simply Safe home security.

Speaker 158 I've worked with Simply Safe since they've had 10 employees.

Speaker 131 I have watched them transform into the fastest growing home security company in the nation.

Speaker 17 They now protect over 2 million people.

Speaker 16 I love their story.

Speaker 11 It's just a group of people who set out to say, this is wrong.

Speaker 12 It doesn't have to be this hard.

Speaker 2 My gosh.

Speaker 2 life doesn't have to be this hard

Speaker 21 that's that's kind of what they're doing it doesn't have to be this hard doesn't have to be so complex you don't have to have contracts with everything you don't have to wire everything

Speaker 59 they have completely redesigned uh their system now they have added new safeguards to protect against power outages downed wi-fi cut landlines even bats and hammers i want to bring one of these in and just beat it with a bat and a hammer uh

Speaker 46 they have done everything they can to make this the

Speaker 45 safest, practically invisible, most powerful sensor

Speaker 46 so you and your family stay safe.

Speaker 115 Everything is so small and so compact and darn near invisible that you won't notice, but I don't think the guys trying to break in will notice until it's too late.

Speaker 14 What's remarkable to me is Simply Safe has added added so much and come so far.

Speaker 70 You are going to love, you're going to love it, but it's still

Speaker 131 the same fair and honest price.

Speaker 25 It's about $15 a month, $14.99 a month.

Speaker 6 There's no contract.

Speaker 43 It's smaller. It's faster.

Speaker 25 It's stronger than anything they've ever built before.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck Mercury.

Speaker 160 It's such a strange thing that we do. We spend so much time looking on the internet to try to make sure we get the best values.

Speaker 160 You know, if you got a vacuum cleaner, you're buying, you're looking at one site. Oh, it's $20 cheaper on that other site.

Speaker 160 If you've got a $100 thing, you're trying to make sure you can get it for $80, and all that stuff's important.

Speaker 12 It's important to look for good values.

Speaker 160 But then, when it comes down to the biggest investment that we have, your home, buying or selling a home, what do we do?

Speaker 160 A lot of times we kind of just like trust that friend of a friend of a friend who you kind of know or met once at a party and seemed mildly enjoyable when you were standing in front of the guacamole.

Speaker 160 But, I mean, I don't know. Is that a good reason to give them your business? When you're talking about selling a house, selling a house is not mindless.

Speaker 160 It's not just putting up a house, a sign in front of the doors and a couple of open house signs anymore.

Speaker 160 That's not what it is. It's a tough environment.
It's a tough market.

Speaker 160 And, you know, if you want to sell your home, you need to go with someone who's been screened, who you know is a really good agent.

Speaker 160 Realestateagentsitrust.com is the place to go to get this information.

Speaker 160 Realestateagentsitrust.com is a network of over 1,200 agents from all over America that Glenn Beck and his team himself have gone through and screened because Glenn and Tanya had problems selling one of their houses.

Speaker 160 And they wanted to make this process easier for everyone who listens to the show. And that's what these agents do.

Speaker 108 They listen to the show too.

Speaker 160 If you need to sell a house fast and for the most money, if you're looking to buy, go to RealEstateAgents I dot com. Realestateagents I trust.com.
It'll get you the best agent in your area.

Speaker 160 It's RealEstate Agentsitrust.com.

Speaker 134 Glenn back.

Speaker 45 Investigators in both the House and the Senate were stunned Friday afternoon after receiving a batch of newly released texts between the FBI officials Peter, how do you say his name, Sterzok, and Lisa Page.

Speaker 13 These two were.

Speaker 74 I'll never get used to the Lisa Page thing, which, by the way, is the heir name of my wife who's on radio, except P-A-I-G-E.

Speaker 73 But every time this story comes up, Lisa Page, everyone texts my wife, and it's not my wife.

Speaker 111 My wife, as far as I know, did not have an affair with an FBI agent.

Speaker 32 I'd like to know that, if that's accurate.

Speaker 21 It would make it a lot easier if you're having an affair with the woman of the same name as your wife.

Speaker 17 Right.

Speaker 72 I mean, it would be, at least it would give me a little bit of attention.

Speaker 78 So in the newly released texts, they discuss Trump winning the Republican presidential nomination, which they said would create pressure on the FBI to quickly finish up the Hillary Clinton email investigation known inside the Bureau as the midterm exam or MYE.

Speaker 62 Holy crap, one of them, a page is texting.

Speaker 82 And it wasn't that, but Cruz just dropped out of the race.

Speaker 28 What?

Speaker 80 You heard it right, my friend.

Speaker 24 I saw Trump won, figured it would be a bit.

Speaker 46 Now the pressure really starts to finish MYE.

Speaker 120 It sure does.

Speaker 47 Trump simply cannot be president.

Speaker 13 Now, we know that they said that they had a meeting at the FBI

Speaker 10 that talked about that, that Trump couldn't be the president, and they had to have some sort of insurance.

Speaker 34 Well, what insurance is that?

Speaker 78 Well, the FBI

Speaker 61 accidentally deleted 9,000 texts.

Speaker 20 They, you know, gosh, we didn't know that we should have saved all that stuff.

Speaker 73 Do you ever have that where you sometimes, you know, if you're falling asleep while you're working on something and your head kind of falls down on the keyboard and it lands on the delete button?

Speaker 39 Oh, and then the time.

Speaker 107 Right.

Speaker 111 And then you delete, let's say, 9,000 files.

Speaker 74 That happens to me.

Speaker 39 If it's happened,

Speaker 8 if it's happened once to me, it's, well, it's happened once.

Speaker 69 That doesn't happen, but it seems to happen because the last time we had deleted files was Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 98 And then the time before that was the investigation into the IRS.

Speaker 44 They seem to lose a lot of files, but only when people on the Democratic side are under investigation.

Speaker 74 Yeah, because they're looking into our stuff all the time.

Speaker 29 Oh, yeah. No, they got us.

Speaker 154 They haven't lost a text that you've written.

Speaker 2 No, not one.

Speaker 81 It's pretty.

Speaker 86 It's pretty embarrassing.

Speaker 74 Look, there's a line here, right?

Speaker 73 Just because someone says, if an FBI FBI agent in a private conversation says something negative about the president, that is not a reason that they can't be an FBI agent.

Speaker 163 You know, 50% of the country has been saying negative things about Donald Trump.

Speaker 73 So, you know, you can't just say that we can only have investigations on Donald Trump by his supporters.

Speaker 111 I mean, that's just as ridiculous. But there is a line here that seems to have been crossed.

Speaker 73 It's not about just opposing the president or thinking his policies are bad.

Speaker 72 It's about mapping out strategies to to undermine him if he were to win.

Speaker 108 That's a big difference, right?

Speaker 113 It's not just

Speaker 21 treason.

Speaker 89 I can't define it any other way than treason.

Speaker 58 You are working to thwart the president of the United States, whom you think is bad.

Speaker 101 That's treason.

Speaker 61 Especially if you're a sworn duty

Speaker 73 on the other side of that. I mean, again, finding the, you know, if you believe someone's committed a crime, you have to look at these things.

Speaker 74 And we have to look at all of this in context.

Speaker 73 You know, if it's just an offhanded comment he's making to his, what I guess was a fling,

Speaker 72 you know, that's one thing.

Speaker 107 And you can say, that doesn't necessarily mean they went ahead with an insurance policy, right?

Speaker 72 We don't know that.

Speaker 126 We need to know that.

Speaker 34 But do you trust the

Speaker 39 girl?

Speaker 73 I don't trust the judgment of someone who's going to say that.

Speaker 34 But I don't trust the FBI.

Speaker 8 One investigator was asked about this on Friday.

Speaker 11 They said, quote, very suspicious.

Speaker 61 It's hard to believe.

Speaker 94 When asked to rate his trust of the FBI on a scale of one to 10, he quickly answered, zero.

Speaker 21 Now,

Speaker 27 I don't know if we should have zero trust in the FBI, but this is not helping.

Speaker 15 How can we trust the FBI? How can we trust the Justice Department?

Speaker 78 If you are,

Speaker 53 if you are losing things, I mean, look,

Speaker 89 I don't buy into

Speaker 96 tonight at 5 o'clock, we're back at the chalkboard, and I'm going to give you four days of

Speaker 114 what Gazprom is,

Speaker 48 what this

Speaker 69 charge is against Hillary Clinton with

Speaker 63 uranium one.

Speaker 125 And uranium one, they dismiss.

Speaker 82 Everybody dismisses.

Speaker 168 No, you should not dismiss it, just like you shouldn't dismiss what is going on with the investigation of Donald Trump.

Speaker 34 Is there anything there? I don't know.

Speaker 109 I don't know.

Speaker 48 But we should have an independent and fair investigation so we all know the truth.

Speaker 48 If you look at Uranium 1 and you see the sequence of events, I'm sorry.

Speaker 36 I'm sorry.

Speaker 53 Now they've just made indictments on this, but the left again keeps saying, well, there is nothing there.

Speaker 81 Really?

Speaker 163 Would you just watch the chalkboard with me tonight?

Speaker 80 Can I get people on the right or on the left to watch the chalkboard and you tell me?

Speaker 103 And watch it with an open mind.

Speaker 116 I'm not making any accusations that aren't proven, that aren't documented.

Speaker 94 I am laying out a sequence of events that is extraordinarily difficult to explain in any way that is innocent.

Speaker 135 Now, that doesn't mean that anyone is guilty

Speaker 54 because

Speaker 66 more information needs to be found out or released.

Speaker 34 But there is a mountain of evidence that the FBI has that they have hidden

Speaker 85 and they have sequestered so no one even in Congress could look at it.

Speaker 159 You need to watch this series, Uranium One, tonight only on the Blaze TV.

Speaker 84 Blaze.com slash TV.

Speaker 69 Subscribe and we'll see you tonight at 5 o'clock.

Speaker 134 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 Mercury.

Speaker 2 Love. Courage.

Speaker 2 Truth.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 109 I'm sure

Speaker 38 right now.

Speaker 131 You know, you're listening to this from inside the safety and security of your own government shutdown bomb shelter.

Speaker 6 This is not a test. The government is shut down.

Speaker 141 Panic.

Speaker 131 Unless you're in your government shutdown shelter.

Speaker 73 For those of you that did manage to venture out this weekend, to your horror, I salute your bravery.

Speaker 115 I do.

Speaker 17 I don't know how you did it.

Speaker 98 The shutdown now is entering its third day.

Speaker 61 The Senate has a procedural vote at noon today that could fund the government temporarily until February 8th.

Speaker 131 But I wouldn't hold out too much hope.

Speaker 20 The end is near.

Speaker 69 Don't crack the lid on your bomb shelter just yet.

Speaker 60 We'll notify you if the government actually does go back to work.

Speaker 10 The rumor is the relationship between the White House and Chuck Schumer is at an all-time low.

Speaker 10 Ha.

Speaker 60 Trump met with Schumer on Friday.

Speaker 28 Trump wanted the wall.

Speaker 34 Schumer wanted amnesty.

Speaker 69 You can imagine how that

Speaker 96 conversation went.

Speaker 99 Not well.

Speaker 77 This entire thing is ridiculous.

Speaker 24 The government is going to eventually get funded.

Speaker 61 Nobody's going to die.

Speaker 20 No asteroids are going to hit the earth.

Speaker 89 But until that happens, we're going to be forced to watch grown men and women act like children, argue for things that

Speaker 10 they know they probably don't have any chance of actually getting.

Speaker 90 Will the wall be funded from coast to coast?

Speaker 98 Now, anything is possible, but I doubt it.

Speaker 80 Will DACA become law?

Speaker 58 Well, let's not forget that Obama had to write an executive order specifically because he knew both parties wouldn't be able to successfully vote on it.

Speaker 21 So

Speaker 84 one side will eventually blink.

Speaker 62 The question is, which one?

Speaker 114 It's usually us.

Speaker 13 If this stretches through the week, we're going to get dangerously close to this affecting our men and women in uniform.

Speaker 47 Military families cannot miss a paycheck.

Speaker 17 They're not getting rich.

Speaker 10 I really think the people in the military should make what Congress makes and what, and what the military makes should be the paycheck for Congress.

Speaker 49 Our soldiers are risking their lives in combat zones, and now they have to worry about paying their bills back home.

Speaker 15 Both sides are to blame here.

Speaker 84 Both sides are using military families as pawns to argue for the highly improbable.

Speaker 81 You'd think that military families would be off limits in this power play between overgrown children, but they're more than willing to play that card, both sides.

Speaker 27 One Democrat actually tried.

Speaker 82 Here's Senator Claire McCaskill on the Senate floor, pleading for an amendment to keep the paychecks going to the military.

Speaker 170 I want to make sure that tonight we send a very clear signal that we don't want one moment to pass with there being any uncertainty of any soldier anywhere in the world.

Speaker 170 that they will be paid for the valiant work they do on behalf of our national security.

Speaker 34 Unbelievable.

Speaker 7 That's a Democrat, by the way, and you'd think the Republicans would jump at it and take it, but here's Mitch McConnell's response.

Speaker 82 Is there objection? Mr.

Speaker 143 Federal Reserve and the right to object. We passed similar legislation during the government shutdown back in 2013.

Speaker 143 My hope is that we can restore funding for the entire government before this becomes necessary. I'm going to object for tonight, but we'll discuss again tomorrow.

Speaker 2 Therefore, I object.

Speaker 115 And he put his head back under his shell.

Speaker 82 The turtle has spoken.

Speaker 10 Both sides are to blame here, and neither one seems to really care about the military.

Speaker 56 I, for one, just would like to end this stupidity.

Speaker 97 Get back to doing whatever it is you guys do,

Speaker 2 or not, really.

Speaker 37 I'm not that worried that you're not doing anything.

Speaker 17 You know, you have those super cool lunches at the Capitol Grill or whatever.

Speaker 84 I'll pay for your lunch.

Speaker 61 Just leave the rest of us alone, will you?

Speaker 6 Your arrogance and stupidity has severe consequences, and this country is already paying those consequences.

Speaker 1 It's Monday, January 22nd. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 82 All the world is but a stage.

Speaker 29 And didn't it feel like that?

Speaker 7 I mean, when you're watching the news, doesn't it feel like that?

Speaker 31 When you're watching this government shut down nonsense and everybody is so upset about it and you're like i don't really care well if it wasn't a fictional play we would have died from the government shutdown however that death would have only followed a death from uh the tax plan uh and global warming and any number of other things they've told us we're going to die of in the past couple of years.

Speaker 73 It's constant threat of death.

Speaker 159 You know what's amazing to me is

Speaker 94 constant threat of death because there's a way to get rich off of it.

Speaker 10 There's a way to get power off of it.

Speaker 11 However, we are facing the greatest crisis,

Speaker 60 a possible crisis, and the greatest utopian breakthrough in the history of time.

Speaker 80 At least known time.

Speaker 47 Maybe this has happened on other planets. Maybe this has already happened to us and we're all living in the matrix.

Speaker 36 Eagles Super Bowl victory?

Speaker 73 It could only be be done by computer simulation so feels that way sometimes yes over 50 60 years or so so there are so many things that actually matter venezuela have you even heard venezuela in the news really very few i mean we've covered it uh many times uh but yes we've you know that has been completely undercovered especially from the idea that this was a socialist utopia not too long ago yeah that we were all supposed to look to for guidance for our real future right where's where's sean penn now yeah Is he down helping?

Speaker 84 On the night of January 9th, for example, a hungry mob took 30 minutes to pick clean a grocery store in the eastern city.

Speaker 11 By the time the owner arrived, he had opened five months at the store he had opened five months earlier.

Speaker 10 The looters had hauled everything away from cold cuts to ketchup to the cash register.

Speaker 69 It just makes me want to cry.

Speaker 15 The people now are saying, we either loot or we die of hunger.

Speaker 87 There are food shortages,

Speaker 87 fuel

Speaker 82 shortages.

Speaker 98 During the first 10 days of January,

Speaker 10 the Venezuelan Observatory for Social Conflict recorded 107 episodes of looting and several deaths in 19 of Venezuela's 23 states, but the figures don't capture the level of desperation.

Speaker 20 Where's the media on this?

Speaker 11 You know, we're so constantly, we so worry about ourselves.

Speaker 101 Where are we with people with actual issues?

Speaker 105 This disproves a giant narrative, though, for the media.

Speaker 98 Again,

Speaker 72 if they had their way, if the left had their way, they would institute many, not every, but many of the policies that Venezuela implemented that led them to this crisis.

Speaker 73 And they are getting the results that were predicted and have shown to be evident every time those policies are enacted.

Speaker 127 So why would you focus on it?

Speaker 163 It doesn't help.

Speaker 74 Try this emphasize.

Speaker 98 Anybody see the news this weekend?

Speaker 96 Now, I want you to think about this statement.

Speaker 68 Now, it came from the Google CEO.

Speaker 58 Here is the statement.

Speaker 33 Google is a leader in

Speaker 69 AI development.

Speaker 97 As with fire, humanity needs to embrace AI for its benefits, but also understand

Speaker 24 its downsize.

Speaker 41 History shows you that countries that pull back don't do well with change.

Speaker 15 You have to embrace the change.

Speaker 48 AI will have a bigger impact than the discovery of fire.

Speaker 52 AI will have a bigger impact

Speaker 51 than the discovery

Speaker 28 of

Speaker 21 fire.

Speaker 35 I was writing in today

Speaker 109 and

Speaker 10 I'm reading a book called Life 3.0.

Speaker 109 And I'm listening to it on Audible.

Speaker 34 And

Speaker 39 I just want to roll this by you.

Speaker 124 See, why is it we're not paying attention to this at all?

Speaker 175 When I left Puerto Rico, I did so convinced that the conversation we had there about the future of AI needs to continue. Because it's the most important conversation of our time.

Speaker 175 The AI conversation is important in terms of both urgency and impact.

Speaker 175 In comparison with climate change, which might wreak havoc in 50 to 200 years, many experts expect AI to have greater impact within decades and to potentially give us technology for mitigating climate change.

Speaker 175 In comparison with wars, terrorism, unemployment, poverty, migration, and social justice issues, the rise of AI will have greater impact

Speaker 2 will have greater impact than wars,

Speaker 119 social justice, climate change

Speaker 87 in mere decades, like two.

Speaker 69 And remember too, when they're talking about climate change, this isn't coming from a right-wing

Speaker 147 publication that's saying climate change won't be a big deal.

Speaker 74 They're saying it is going to be a big deal.

Speaker 17 In fact, this is just going to be a bigger deal.

Speaker 77 In fact, I went to go find that. I had to play that for you because I went to go find that in the book.

Speaker 23 Not in the book.

Speaker 32 That's so weird.

Speaker 62 Yeah, it's edited out of the book.

Speaker 121 He's talking about, you know, when I left Puerto Rico,

Speaker 26 you know,

Speaker 26 what he's talking about is this meeting in Puerto Rico that all of the top scientists that we're all supposed to, you know, respect and revere and adore and take for whatever they say is God's honest truth.

Speaker 158 They had the biggest scientists in the world on AI, and they

Speaker 96 brought together for the first time people like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking and the people who are gung-ho

Speaker 105 on AI and don't think it's ever going to be a problem.

Speaker 69 And they had a three-day conference.

Speaker 47 No press was invited.

Speaker 42 There were, I don't know, 300 scientists there from all over the world.

Speaker 13 And they had this conversation and decided that this is the most important thing that could

Speaker 17 hit us.

Speaker 84 And they signed a document saying, well, the world really needs to understand this.

Speaker 34 This was in 2013.

Speaker 43 It's now 2017.

Speaker 61 Nobody's talking about it.

Speaker 34 And that's okay.

Speaker 101 That's okay.

Speaker 26 I think people just think that this is some faraway, you know, sci-fi thing.

Speaker 125 But Venezuela is not.

Speaker 21 And what are we covering? What are we talking about?

Speaker 22 What are we doing in our own life?

Speaker 96 My son said to me this weekend,

Speaker 57 I don't understand why I have to...

Speaker 119 I'm diagramming sentences, so how do I have to diagram sentences?

Speaker 42 Well, you have to diagram sentences because at some point you are going to have to write letters or emails to somebody.

Speaker 34 No, Dad, I'm probably not.

Speaker 96 I'll just be able to speak.

Speaker 25 I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 11 Why do we have to study our scriptures all the time?

Speaker 82 Studying our scriptures all the time. I don't understand the point.

Speaker 20 Let me give you the point, son.

Speaker 6 The New Testament and the Old Testament,

Speaker 6 you don't have to believe them.

Speaker 28 Don't believe them.

Speaker 82 Walk away and say, I'm just reading this as history or allegories, stories.

Speaker 53 But that's the basic fundamental of human civilization for the West.

Speaker 82 Every time we go off of those, we enter dark ages.

Speaker 46 Every time we go too strongly into them and have certitude that we know and so we're going to rid the world of all those people who are doing wrong, we go into their dark ages.

Speaker 34 This is the basic fundamental building block of society.

Speaker 21 How do we behave?

Speaker 125 How do we love each other?

Speaker 94 How do we forgive each other?

Speaker 18 490 times I'm supposed to forgive you.

Speaker 43 What does that mean?

Speaker 21 Really?

Speaker 59 490 times.

Speaker 90 Gotta forgive people 490 times.

Speaker 135 Then you know what that means?

Speaker 17 You lost count by then.

Speaker 21 Nobody's like, I'm up.

Speaker 83 I'm up to 381 times

Speaker 129 accepting his apology.

Speaker 18 You not counting.

Speaker 21 We are losing the very fundamentals.

Speaker 44 of being even able to communicate with each other.

Speaker 48 We are in the communication age.

Speaker 22 The information age.

Speaker 66 And yet we are not communicating with each other.

Speaker 36 Our communication has gotten worse.

Speaker 22 We're in the information age.

Speaker 91 We don't know more. We know less.

Speaker 168 As I was working with my son last night on Kepler.

Speaker 135 He said, I don't know the answer to that, Dan.

Speaker 103 I said, you don't have to know the answer anymore.

Speaker 100 You don't have to know.

Speaker 18 You have to know how to find the answer.

Speaker 112 That's it.

Speaker 22 We're not anymore intelligent.

Speaker 21 We're not anymore well-read.

Speaker 83 We have access literally to

Speaker 92 everything.

Speaker 62 Last night, I looked up a book that had been banned and then destroyed.

Speaker 15 Very few copies exist.

Speaker 58 It's on Kepler.

Speaker 82 It's called Kepler's Dreams.

Speaker 34 I had never even heard of it.

Speaker 84 It was the first sci-fi book ever written, like in 1609

Speaker 34 and it's about moon a guy who travels to the moon that had never even been thought of before

Speaker 80 within two minutes i was reading it i downloaded it

Speaker 168 i did i would have to work with my son on kepler would have taken us weeks in a library when i was a kid

Speaker 168 But we're we're not doing our homework. We see something on Twitter.

Speaker 27 We just repost it.

Speaker 21 We don't even read the whole story, let alone check out, see if it's right.

Speaker 30 And the media, the Guardians, they won't even watch their own damn movie.

Speaker 51 Watch the post.

Speaker 102 Watch the post.

Speaker 30 What's the point of the post?

Speaker 83 Both political parties will use you.

Speaker 66 So you shouldn't be beholden to either side.

Speaker 48 You should never trust the government.

Speaker 85 Even your friends in the government.

Speaker 115 But they don't watch it.

Speaker 61 They don't learn from history.

Speaker 97 Nobody does.

Speaker 62 If we're going to survive,

Speaker 28 we need to start prioritizing what matters most

Speaker 34 and what problems should be at the front of the stove, and what problems can we just set back for a while?

Speaker 20 So a few weeks ago,

Speaker 77 my son-in-law and my daughter

Speaker 61 got a new Casper bed.

Speaker 158 And

Speaker 121 they had a bed, and

Speaker 115 my daughter has a bad back, and it was just killing her, especially with two kids.

Speaker 117 And so she said, Dad, I got to get a mattress.

Speaker 115 I said, try a Casper.

Speaker 114 Because if you don't like it, you just send it back.

Speaker 61 Because I had purchased a bed about a year or so before, and it wasn't Casper, and I tried it out at the store, and I loved it at the store, and I hated it, every second of it, once I got it home.

Speaker 46 So we bought a Casper, and we loved it.

Speaker 115 So I told my daughter, get Casper, try it out.

Speaker 98 So she did.

Speaker 114 We were just talking last night because,

Speaker 6 you know, we were talking about her health and, you know, everything else.

Speaker 82 And I said, so how's your back doing?

Speaker 41 How do you like the mattress?

Speaker 70 And she said, her and her husband, we love it.

Speaker 67 Why? Why?

Speaker 39 You want a back?

Speaker 154 Because it was the one that when we had

Speaker 114 Casper

Speaker 43 give us a wave, I gave my son and daughter the Casper that

Speaker 41 we had just got.

Speaker 8 I said, no, you could keep it.

Speaker 46 I just want to know if you like it.

Speaker 70 We love it.

Speaker 136 We love it.

Speaker 23 My wife and I love our Casper.

Speaker 69 We have the wave.

Speaker 50 They have the regular one.

Speaker 77 You seen the new movie Polka King on Netflix yet?

Speaker 21 Look, it's Jack Black.

Speaker 34 Yeah, right.

Speaker 54 It's based on a true story.

Speaker 77 We have the actual Polka King on coming up in about a half an hour.

Speaker 6 He has a fascinating story of a guy who left communism to come here and then it all went wrong.

Speaker 98 Really interesting guy.

Speaker 81 We have him coming up.

Speaker 10 Also, Jordan Peterson is an incredibly astute professor.

Speaker 124 I want to play an exchange with him on television up in Canada.

Speaker 26 And you tell me, I mean, we're living in a parallel universe that's coming up.

Speaker 9 You've been talking a lot about kind of how our society is

Speaker 74 sometimes unrecognizable.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 73 What are we doing?

Speaker 106 What has happened to our society?

Speaker 168 I want to read you a sentence.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 32 From a news story I came across this weekend.

Speaker 111 And you tell me how this this is a sensible society if we have not gone to a place where you can't recognize the world that we're doing.

Speaker 94 Wait until you hear the Jordan Peterson stuff because it's right where I'm going.

Speaker 21 All right, go ahead.

Speaker 168 Paddington 2.

Speaker 21 Oh, dear God.

Speaker 108 Paddington 2, which came in sixth place this weekend, made $8 million.

Speaker 171 Though the family sequel about the bear from Peru became Rotten Tomatoes' best reviewed movie ever

Speaker 36 this past week.

Speaker 65 The best reviewed movie ever

Speaker 81 in the history of film

Speaker 44 is Paddington 2.

Speaker 30 Not even Paddington.

Speaker 44 Paddington 2

Speaker 93 makes me want to go see it now.

Speaker 134 Glenn, back.

Speaker 2 Mercury.

Speaker 21 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 69 Have you ever wondered what it would be like if an alien came down

Speaker 88 and

Speaker 28 was fully engaged in truth and logic and would sit down with us or our reporters or whoever and would have a conversation.

Speaker 33 And

Speaker 30 every once in a while, the alien would just look

Speaker 101 at us like,

Speaker 39 is it just me?

Speaker 62 You're not knowing, you're not following here.

Speaker 22 And the alien would not be able to figure out our circular thought.

Speaker 82 I contend that is Professor Jordan Peterson.

Speaker 125 I want you to listen to this

Speaker 173 audio of him on the BBC where he has stirred up a hornet's nest

Speaker 54 because he was talking about gender equality, et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 34 But I want you to listen to how calm, how rational, and how clear he is.

Speaker 30 And then listen to the reporter

Speaker 21 who

Speaker 30 doesn't seem to get it at all.

Speaker 20 This is what it would sound like if an alien beamed down on a TV set today.

Speaker 4 Jordan Peterson, you've said that men need to, quote, grow the hell up.

Speaker 155 Tell me why.

Speaker 155 Well, because there's nothing uglier than an old infant. There's nothing good about it.

Speaker 155 People who don't grow up don't find the sort of meaning in their life that sustains them through difficult times, and they are certain to encounter difficult times.

Speaker 155 and they're left bitter and resentful and without purpose and adrift and hostile and resentful and vengeful and arrogant and deceitful and and of no use to themselves and of no use to anyone else and no partner for a woman and there's nothing in it that's good so you say i mean that sounds pretty bad you're saying there's a crisis of masculinity i mean what do you do about it

Speaker 112 you tell

Speaker 155 you help people understand why it's necessary and important for them to grow up and adopt responsibility. Why that isn't a shake your finger and get your act together sort of thing.

Speaker 155 Why it's more like, why it's more like a delineation of the kind of destiny that makes life worth living.

Speaker 155 I've been telling young men, but it's not, I wasn't specifically aiming this message at young men to begin with. It just kind of turned out that way.

Speaker 4 And it's mostly, you admit, it's mostly men listening. I mean, it is about 80% of your audiences are male.

Speaker 155 Well, it's about 80%

Speaker 155 on YouTube, which is a, YouTube is a male domain primarily, so it's hard to tell how much of it is because YouTube is male and how much of it is because of what I'm saying. But

Speaker 155 what I've been telling young men is that there's an actual reason why they need to grow up, which is that they have something to offer, you know, that

Speaker 155 people have within them this capacity to set the world straight and that's necessary to manifest in the world. And that also doing so is where you find the meaning that sustains you in life.

Speaker 112 So, what's gone wrong then?

Speaker 155 Oh, God, all sorts of things have gone wrong. I think that

Speaker 155 I don't think that young men

Speaker 155 hear words of encouragement.

Speaker 155 Some of them never in their entire lives, as far as I can tell. That's what they tell me.
And the fact that the words that

Speaker 155 I've been speaking, the YouTube lectures that I've done and put online, for example, have had such a dramatic impact is an indication that young men are starving for this sort of message because like, why in the world would they have to derive it from a lecture on YouTube?

Speaker 155 They're not being taught that

Speaker 155 it's important to develop yourself.

Speaker 4 But does it bother you that your audience is predominantly male?

Speaker 4 Isn't that a bit divisive?

Speaker 110 No, I don't think so. I mean,

Speaker 21 stop saying.

Speaker 29 I just want to go over.

Speaker 44 I always want to go over what he just said.

Speaker 85 What he just said, that there are many men who are not growing up.

Speaker 26 They are not taking responsibility for their life, and that will give their life no meaning.

Speaker 17 They will become bitter, resentful, vengeful, deceitful, and alone.

Speaker 34 That's a ticking time bomb.

Speaker 28 Okay.

Speaker 21 So, what does he say?

Speaker 123 Don't shake your finger at them.

Speaker 69 Show them that they need to be responsible because they can make their own life worth living.

Speaker 168 All positive. There's an incentive.

Speaker 135 There's an incentive to it.

Speaker 73 It's not just doing it out of charity. You're doing it because it actually is good for you as well.

Speaker 169 We don't want you to be vengeful, resentful, deceitful, and alone.

Speaker 69 We want you to have meaning in your life.

Speaker 109 And

Speaker 103 it's that you have value.

Speaker 11 but nobody's ever said that to you, as he says.

Speaker 23 They're not encouraged.

Speaker 22 And they're coming to him in droves

Speaker 92 because they're starving for the message.

Speaker 22 Listen to the message.

Speaker 84 I'm starving for the message that I need to grow up, that I need to be responsible, that I need to take control of my own life, that I can't be a kid for the rest of my life.

Speaker 30 They're starving for that message.

Speaker 56 And she says, well, isn't that a bit divisive?

Speaker 30 What part of that is divisive

Speaker 103 we're trying to build a better citizen we're trying to build a better spouse we're trying to build a better man isn't that divisive no they're starving for that women are getting that message everywhere you could do anything you could be anything men are no longer getting that message They need to hear that message as well.

Speaker 34 We have over-corrected. That's not

Speaker 58 divisive.

Speaker 44 That's encouraging that men want to be better.

Speaker 49 listen

Speaker 155 no i don't think so i mean it's no more divisive than the fact that youtube is primarily male and tumblr is primarily

Speaker 155 female isn't that tumbler is primarily female but you're just saying that's the way it is well it's i'm not saying anything it's just an observation that that's the way it is um there's plenty of women that are watching my lectures and my talks and buying my books it's just that the majority of them happen to be men it's what's in it for the women though

Speaker 155 well what sort of partner do you want you you want an overgrown child?

Speaker 155 Or do you want someone to contend with that's going to help you?

Speaker 4 And that's what you rely on.

Speaker 172 Women have some sort of duty to sort of help fix the crisis of masculine.

Speaker 155 It depends on what they want.

Speaker 44 It's not what he was saying at all.

Speaker 60 She's just itching for a fight.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 168 So wait, so

Speaker 73 she says, why would women be interested in a message about bettering men? And his answer is, well, I mean, what kind of partner do they want?

Speaker 73 Do you want someone who's responsible and it can be an equal?

Speaker 126 Or do you you want someone who's

Speaker 21 a kid? A kid.

Speaker 171 Oh, so women have a responsibility to make men better?

Speaker 44 That is not

Speaker 113 what the setup question was, what his answer was.

Speaker 166 Nowhere in there was that even hinted at.

Speaker 66 In fact, he's saying he's giving this message.

Speaker 44 He's giving it.

Speaker 30 You're bashing him for giving the message.

Speaker 66 And then you're interpreting that you are now.

Speaker 22 You're going to burden me with having to give that message.

Speaker 36 I have to give it.

Speaker 22 No, I'm giving the message right now.

Speaker 52 And men are starving for it.

Speaker 73 And the only reason the topic was brought up was because of her question.

Speaker 110 She asked it.

Speaker 127 He answered it.

Speaker 86 And then she asks, she acts shocked that he would bring it up. Well, he brought it up because you asked him the question.

Speaker 150 Continue.

Speaker 112 For the women, though.

Speaker 155 Well, what sort of partner do you want? Do you want an overgrown child? Or do you want someone to contend with that's going to help you?

Speaker 4 And that's what you rely on.

Speaker 172 Women have some sort of duty to sort of help fix the crisis of masculinity depends on what they want

Speaker 155 do men have a responsibility exactly exactly how I laid it out like women want deeply want men who are competent and powerful

Speaker 155 and and I don't mean power in in the in the in the in that they can exert tyrannical control over others that's not power that's just corruption Power is competence.

Speaker 155 And why in the world would you not want a competent partner? Well, I know why, actually. You can't dominate a competent partner.

Speaker 91 So if you want domination...

Speaker 112 Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 155 No, I'd say women who have had their relationships

Speaker 155 impaired, their relationships with men impaired and who are afraid of such relationships will settle for a weak partner because they can dominate them. But it's a sub-optimal solution.

Speaker 2 Do you think that's what a lot of women are doing?

Speaker 155 I think there's a substantial minority of women who do that. And I think it's very bad for them.
They're very unhappy.

Speaker 155 It's very bad for their partners, although their partners get the advantage of not having to take any responsibility.

Speaker 112 But what gives you the right to say that? I mean maybe that's how women want their relationships, those women.

Speaker 4 I mean you're making these vast generalizations.

Speaker 75 Oh God, this is... I'm a clinical psychologist.

Speaker 4 You're saying you've done your research and women are unhappy dominating men.

Speaker 155 I didn't say they were unhappy dominating men. I said it was a bad long-term solution.

Speaker 112 Okay, you said it was making them miserable.

Speaker 155 Yes, it is. And it depends on the timeframe.
I mean, there can be, there's intense pleasure in momentary domination. That's why people do it all the time.

Speaker 155 But it's no formula for a long-term, successful long-term relationship. That's reciprocal, right? Any long-term relationship is reciprocal, virtually by definition.
So.

Speaker 4 Let me put a quote to you from the book where you say, there are whole disciplines in universities forthrightly hostile towards men.

Speaker 4 These are the areas of study dominated by the postmodern stroke, neo-Marxist claim that Western culture in particular is an oppressive structure created by white men to dominate and exclude women.

Speaker 155 But then I want to put to- Minorities too, who dominate and exclude

Speaker 134 them.

Speaker 4 But I want to put to you that here in the UK, for example, let's take that as an example, the gender pay gap stands at just over 9%.

Speaker 112 You've got women at the BBC recently saying that the broadcaster is

Speaker 4 paying them less than men to do the same job. You've got only seven women running the top.
FTSE 100 companies.

Speaker 4 So it seems to a lot of women that they're still being dominated and excluded, to quote your words back to you.

Speaker 155 It does seem that way, but multivariate analysis of the pay gap indicate that it doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 It's not true, is it?

Speaker 4 I mean, that 9% pay gap, that's a gap between median hourly earnings between men and women.

Speaker 155 Yeah, but there's multiple reasons for that. One of them is gender, but it's not the only reason.
Like, if you're a social scientist worth your salt, you never do a univariate analysis.

Speaker 155 Like you say, well, women in aggregate are paid less than men. Okay, well, then we break it down by age.
We break it down by occupation. We break it down by interest.
We break it down by personality.

Speaker 4 But you're saying basically it doesn't matter if women aren't getting to the top, because that's what's skewing that children.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Speaker 74 That's a summary there of what he said.

Speaker 107 Basically, what you're saying is it doesn't matter if women are getting to the top.

Speaker 108 Well, I mean, what he's saying, this is such a fascinating point, because she is doing a very

Speaker 111 detailed throw crap against the wall and see what sticks sort of fight here.

Speaker 73 You You know, she hits him earlier for giving vast generalizations.

Speaker 110 And then her next point is, if you take all women and all men and divide their income, it comes out to be 9%

Speaker 38 higher for men.

Speaker 36 Wouldn't that be a,

Speaker 126 I don't know, a mass generalization?

Speaker 127 The exact thing you were just criticizing him about?

Speaker 73 And of course, like, just because there's a difference between the two doesn't mean that it's bad, right? Like, I mean, it could, it's, and we've we've talked about the pay gap over and over again.

Speaker 107 He is correct in his analysis of it in that when you break it down by age and you break it down by experience

Speaker 74 and education levels and choice of career paths and all of these other things, what you find out is there is basically no pay gap whatsoever.

Speaker 34 There's also something, there's also something else.

Speaker 98 And Niall Ferguson has written a book.

Speaker 101 I think it's called The Square and the Tower.

Speaker 158 And

Speaker 27 he's talking about networks.

Speaker 20 And he says one of the reasons why women are not

Speaker 59 dominant at the upper end of the spectrum is because they don't have the network.

Speaker 46 Men have a network that has been going forever and ever.

Speaker 158 And quite honestly, some of the stuff that is happening now is actually hurting the women making a network because guys are starting to say, I don't try, I don't, I can't, I don't know, I don't know what I should do.

Speaker 53 And so they're not coming into the net.

Speaker 169 They're not coming into the network.

Speaker 21 If you don't have a network, think about this, conservatives, if you don't have a network,

Speaker 59 you miss power and opportunity.

Speaker 41 I mean, look at what's his name, Sank What's His Face from

Speaker 20 the Young Turks.

Speaker 21 Did you hear this?

Speaker 61 So, you know, everybody, every single source on the right is hate-mongering and can't be trusted.

Speaker 42 But the Young Turks, which we have to find some stuff that the Young Turks have said, the Young Turks get $20 $20 million

Speaker 95 in funding.

Speaker 52 $20 million for this crazy group of people.

Speaker 53 Do you know that Dan Rather just signed to do the evening news for the Young Turks website?

Speaker 80 Dan frickin Rather?

Speaker 98 Now, A, it tells us exactly what we need to know about Dan Rather.

Speaker 6 And he confirms everything that you ever suspected.

Speaker 76 But Dan Rather

Speaker 80 joins the young Turks this weekend

Speaker 103 and the Young Turks will go mainstream why

Speaker 28 because they're part of the network

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck Mercury.

Speaker 107 So every day when I'm at work, I got to wear out the headphones.

Speaker 160 The headphones are a requirement, of course, for doing this stupid industry that I'm involved in.

Speaker 160 But they have these special headphones you have to wear on T V, and they kind of stick into your ear.

Speaker 108 They're sort of like earbuds, but they're custom fit.

Speaker 161 You have to go to the doctor and they mold your ears and they stick these things into them. It's kind of weird.

Speaker 106 I was talking to the doctor while I was there, and he said, you know, you just want to make sure you keep your ears clean when you're using these things, because it's can be really gross if you don't.

Speaker 108 And I of course took that as what it was, a complete insult.

Speaker 160 Of course, I keep my ears clean.

Speaker 161 I use Q-tips, right?

Speaker 21 That's what you do.

Speaker 160 Well, apparently not. And that's according to the people at Q-Tip.
Look at the box. The box does not say that they're for cleaning the inside of your ears.

Speaker 73 That's not even what they suggest you use them for.

Speaker 164 It's such a strange thing we've all been doing for such a long time.

Speaker 160 Well, WaxRX

Speaker 160 proudly says what their product is for is cleaning your ears.

Speaker 134 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 158 The

Speaker 97 presenter on the BBC with Professor Jordan Peterson kind of shows that

Speaker 117 it's almost impossible to have an honest conversation with somebody with the media.

Speaker 20 And it doesn't get much better here in the United States, as you know.

Speaker 43 Here is Jim Acosta.

Speaker 33 He was questioning

Speaker 16 the White House about this,

Speaker 81 about why they call it the Schumer shutdown.

Speaker 131 Listen to this.

Speaker 176 How can it be the Schumer shutdown when Republicans control the White House, the House, and the Senate?

Speaker 144 Come on, you know the answer to that as well as anybody. I mean, I have to laugh when people say that, oh, we control the House and the Senate and the White House.
Why can't you get this done?

Speaker 144 You know as well as anybody that it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass an appropriations bill, right? You know that.

Speaker 142 I know that.

Speaker 144 Okay, so when you only have 51 votes in the Senate, then you have to have Democrat support in order to keep the government to fund the government. So that's the answer to your question.

Speaker 69 Yeah, you shouldn't challenge Mulfaney on stuff like this.

Speaker 154 Because he's way too smart smart for you.

Speaker 69 And, you know, Jim, if you would like,

Speaker 125 because they have control, they can pass it with 51 votes.

Speaker 34 Except, you wouldn't like that, would you?

Speaker 84 You wouldn't like the nuclear option.

Speaker 134 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 2 Mercury.

Speaker 2 Love. Courage.

Speaker 2 Truth.

Speaker 2 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 10 Here is a story that the

Speaker 56 left will print, but not really focus on for very long.

Speaker 94 Great Britain's government health care system is falling apart. Now, that's not a conservative talking point.

Speaker 121 That is from the New York Times when they reported on it.

Speaker 94 The headline was, British National Health Service in Crisis.

Speaker 61 The head of Britain's National Health Service warned that the system is overwhelmed.

Speaker 34 What a surprise.

Speaker 128 Who could have seen this coming?

Speaker 94 Last year, he requested £4 billion

Speaker 24 in additional funding.

Speaker 77 He only got $1.6 billion.

Speaker 27 He also oversaw a time where 10,000 nurses quit.

Speaker 61 Now, the crazy thing about the New York Times report is that all of the things that conservatives criticize about socialized medicine, all of the reasons we say it's a bad idea, it's unsustainable, it will not work, are actually happening.

Speaker 101 And here's the crazier part, the New York Times wrote about it.

Speaker 10 It's the kind of worst-case scenario stuff that the left makes fun of the right for talking about.

Speaker 98 For example, quote, hospital hallways jammed with beds of frail and elderly patients waiting to be admitted.

Speaker 49 Outpatient appointments canceled because there aren't enough doctors to meet demand.

Speaker 94 Patients waiting over 12 hours in emergency rooms before receiving care. Undergraduate medical students being asked to volunteer to help ease the crush of

Speaker 49 patients.

Speaker 109 Two weeks ago, hospitals were ordered to postpone all non-urgent surgeries until the end of the month.

Speaker 174 Many British hospitals are also declared black alerts, meaning they cannot meet patient demand.

Speaker 90 On Twitter, British doctors describe their overcrowded hospitals as third world conditions, forcing them to practice battlefield medicine.

Speaker 94 The NHS director warned that the patient waiting list will grow to 5 million people by 2021.

Speaker 24 That's the highest number ever.

Speaker 18 If this were not in the New York Times, no one on the left would believe it.

Speaker 83 You wouldn't believe it if I said it.

Speaker 98 In fact, I have said it was coming for a long time.

Speaker 49 A British construction worker learned the news from the latest rounds of thousands of postponed surgeries.

Speaker 94 He said, if I receive a notification, it'll be the third time my operation is postponed.

Speaker 154 This is a disgrace.

Speaker 97 We injure ourselves while working to pay our taxes, and the government just leaves us to suffer.

Speaker 17 Are you listening, America?

Speaker 97 Are you really listening?

Speaker 38 If

Speaker 46 you are still interested in that Bernie Sanders government healthcare plan,

Speaker 124 maybe you need a lesson in critical thinking.

Speaker 1 It's Monday, January 22nd. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 125 So Netflix has a new movie out with Jack Black.

Speaker 34 It's called The Polka King.

Speaker 125 And the Polka King is an actual guy.

Speaker 154 And I started looking into him, and I thought, we have to talk to this guy.

Speaker 14 His name is

Speaker 68 Jan Lewan.

Speaker 81 And he is from Poland.

Speaker 89 He was born in

Speaker 124 Nazi-controlled Poland and grew up under the Soviet Union, came over here, wanted to make it big,

Speaker 125 fell into a Ponzi scheme.

Speaker 174 I should say he started a Ponzi scheme and others fell into it.

Speaker 23 He lived the high life, met the Pope,

Speaker 82 Pope John Paul II,

Speaker 69 had real notoriety in the polka world.

Speaker 48 His music was nominated for a Grammy, and then he went to jail where he was stabbed in prison.

Speaker 56 He is out now and has a whole

Speaker 6 lifetime of interesting stories.

Speaker 21 Welcome, Juan Lawan.

Speaker 16 How are you, sir?

Speaker 176 Fine. How are you?

Speaker 38 Very good.

Speaker 48 So let's start with

Speaker 7 when did you come over here in the United States and what was life like back in Poland for you?

Speaker 176 Well, when you live in the communist

Speaker 176 regime,

Speaker 176 the life is terrifying every day.

Speaker 176 You couldn't trust nobody and

Speaker 176 you're living always with the fear that you're going to be punished for anything. So

Speaker 176 life in the communist is definitely a

Speaker 176 very negative, very depressing life.

Speaker 84 And when did you come over here?

Speaker 49 At what time period?

Speaker 176 To the United States, I arrived in 80s.

Speaker 176 In 1980, actually, early I was coming for the performing, for the ethnic

Speaker 176 festivals.

Speaker 176 I was

Speaker 176 living in Canada first

Speaker 176 and they were bringing me here to the States time to time.

Speaker 176 And

Speaker 176 then in the 80s, I came here permanently.

Speaker 158 So you came under

Speaker 28 at the height of the Cold War with Ronald Reagan, which must have been

Speaker 14 how do you remember those days as somebody from Poland?

Speaker 38 The Reagan years.

Speaker 69 The Reagan years and the Pope John Paul and Margaret Thatcher years.

Speaker 176 That was the

Speaker 176 turning point

Speaker 176 in Poland. Finally,

Speaker 176 the oppositions start

Speaker 176 growing,

Speaker 176 including solidarity movements with Lech Vawenza,

Speaker 176 and that gave

Speaker 176 power to

Speaker 176 oppositions. to

Speaker 176 succeed. And actually, thanks to Lech Vawenca,

Speaker 176 they succeed eventually to get the f back freedom in Poland. And of course they were behind 50 years.

Speaker 176 So

Speaker 176 we didn't have a proper education. You have to belong to the communist party, your parents, then

Speaker 176 you'll be assigned to the better school. You can learn English.

Speaker 176 In my case, my parents did not want nothing to do with the communists.

Speaker 176 So they not only only lost the job, but I was learning Russians instead of English.

Speaker 77 So you come over here, you move to Pennsylvania, and you become the Polka king.

Speaker 80 Tell me. Well.

Speaker 176 Okay, the Polka King, you know, that it came along because when

Speaker 176 I guess your question is how I went to that.

Speaker 176 I learned that

Speaker 176 nostalgia to Poland for the people who came here after the Second War, and many of them cannot go back to Poland during the communist regime.

Speaker 176 Many cases they will find out in jail since they didn't come back to Poland after the Second War. So there was the tear on this, and

Speaker 176 they were all

Speaker 176 just there for me because I was starting learning English a a little bit, but I was speaking Polish. And then I

Speaker 176 due to my education in Poland,

Speaker 176 in the theatrical school and this, I wasn't ready for that kind of entertainment with the polka and this. And I found that when I turned the Polish folk music to polka,

Speaker 176 I gained lots of viewers.

Speaker 176 I mean, my concert hall and festival, they were full to the last seat because they they loved that

Speaker 176 broken English, Polish,

Speaker 155 you know,

Speaker 176 that's the way it goes.

Speaker 12 So you in the in the in the movie with Jack Black, you appear to be a wide-eyed, I love America and I'm going to make it big.

Speaker 89 And and it it seems as though you you don't really know what you're doing is wrong

Speaker 122 until later.

Speaker 97 But you started a Ponzi scheme.

Speaker 28 Can you? Yes.

Speaker 84 Tell me about it, and did you know that it was wrong at first?

Speaker 176 No, not at all. I went with my accountor

Speaker 176 for the legal advice, and I was advised that everything is fine. A couple of days later, we went again.
Everything is fine.

Speaker 176 Go ahead.

Speaker 176 I wasn't told I have to register.

Speaker 176 That was the wrong thing on the beginning.

Speaker 176 So

Speaker 176 I feel free to advertise.

Speaker 176 This is perfect.

Speaker 176 That's again, how I gonna build the empire?

Speaker 52 Right.

Speaker 48 And how what were you s what were you selling people?

Speaker 176 Well, we did we he created the promissory note, which I offered them twelve percent, and that was very easy for me on the beginning to pay that because

Speaker 176 in Poland that time time, everything was penny, and in America, you sold for tens of dollars. So, I create the gift shop.
When you create the gift shop,

Speaker 176 you have to have money to buy these gifts, which I didn't have nothing.

Speaker 176 So, people who travel with me to Poland, they saw on their own eyes, oh my gosh, that doll costs 25 cents here, and in America, I pay $20.

Speaker 176 Yes, Jan, you should buy Poland, You should get everything to America and you're going to get rich and we're going to get rich. Sure, I go for it.

Speaker 176 So and that's called start.

Speaker 176 Of course, later on I learn I'm not I doing illegal thing that is illegal. Well, I already have huge merchandise in the silver, umber, dolls, and everything, just to to sell that.

Speaker 176 I wasn't able to sell when the accident came over,

Speaker 176 when the 9-11 came over, and all things fall in parts. My two musicians get killed.
My son was suffering with terrible, we all were suffering.

Speaker 176 So even though I was told, don't do it, I was keep doing because when you drown, you will catch anything.

Speaker 176 So I did wrong, knowing that I'm doing wrong, and I paid a high price for that.

Speaker 98 Yeah, you went to prison for how long?

Speaker 176 Almost six years.

Speaker 109 And

Speaker 43 you were stabbed in prison?

Speaker 176 Yes, because

Speaker 176 I should never

Speaker 176 finalize in such a terrible prison in Smyrna. That's just for people who commit

Speaker 176 terrible violence. Most of them, they were killers.

Speaker 176 And

Speaker 176 somebody like me with the accent,

Speaker 176 with lots of to be designed with the conversation, they thought, well, he is such a soft, you know, this guy, this guy is scared for something,

Speaker 176 what we call

Speaker 176 child,

Speaker 176 which I have nothing to do with that.

Speaker 176 And they get angry. But that's what they say in media.
My opinion on that is different. Something went wrong.

Speaker 176 Somehow, somebody did the job. and

Speaker 176 the guy who really cut my neck left and right, he got 25 years on the top of his life sentence. So make no difference for him.

Speaker 176 And why he did that, I still don't know. I was very nice to him.

Speaker 176 I buck him coffee and come a sorry and everything and keep conversation and

Speaker 176 somehow, you know, he got me when I was sleeping.

Speaker 98 When you can't trust a killer, who can you trust?

Speaker 21 Thank you.

Speaker 21 So,

Speaker 96 Jan, now you're out.

Speaker 89 Jack Black is playing you in a movie.

Speaker 101 What does the future hold for you?

Speaker 97 And

Speaker 34 what's your attitude about being here?

Speaker 176 Yeah, well,

Speaker 176 before I go further, let me just say that,

Speaker 176 believe me, I'm very sorry for people who get caught in my situation, who lost the money. I will do everything possible to

Speaker 176 supply my restitution as much as I can,

Speaker 176 since I am faithful for that.

Speaker 21 But

Speaker 176 I never thought that movie gonna change my life.

Speaker 176 Jack Black told me that. We were talking for six months every night for two hours on the FaceTime.

Speaker 176 And he learned from the day I born, you know, how they got everything so perfect in the movie, I still don't know. I did send them some of my uh uh writing what i was doing through this

Speaker 176 years in prison they learned from that but i think uh

Speaker 176 jack black was great influence to the script script to the script writers maya and wally

Speaker 176 that they did so perfect because I don't see it maybe it's 10%

Speaker 176 Hollywood, you know, that's that is. But now the movie gave me opportunity.

Speaker 176 I have right now in thousands of very nice comments, of course the negatives as well, but next to I should say, well, if they're writing to me, they probably just write in positive way.

Speaker 176 So but the point is that they're asking me right now to do the concerts

Speaker 176 and I willing to do that.

Speaker 176 My music director, Steve Kaminski, who actually saved the music in the movie, we have in the movie we have top notch arrangements for big big band polka. It's not like regular dancing small thing.

Speaker 176 Okay, I don't know. Did you saw the movie?

Speaker 98 I have not yet. I've seen several clips of it, but I have not seen that.

Speaker 176 I wish you will see the movie.

Speaker 17 I will. I will.
I will watch it.

Speaker 176 So that is my cameraman, John Cotterba from Lighting Video. He supplied them with

Speaker 176 all of the footage which he traveled with me all the time. You're going to see that in the movie.
They did everything. I mean, my gosh, fantastic.

Speaker 176 I hope I'm going to generate because I don't need money anymore. I want to give to people who suffer over that.
And I'm so sorry. Believe me, I am sick of that.

Speaker 158 So, Jan Lawan, Jan Lawan, it's a pleasure to talk to you.

Speaker 77 And I'm sorry I didn't watch the movie. I had plans to watch it with my family this weekend and something came up, so we didn't watch it.

Speaker 174 But I'm anxious to see it.

Speaker 174 You have led a very interesting life, and I wish you all the best, sir.

Speaker 21 God bless. Thank you.

Speaker 176 Thank you very much for your time.

Speaker 39 So to review,

Speaker 23 guy comes over from Poland.

Speaker 32 He's a polka king.

Speaker 11 He starts up a Polish gift store.

Speaker 127 He gets people to invest in the store by promising them 12%

Speaker 73 and 20% returns.

Speaker 126 That apparently is illegal, but he's too far in the hole to pay the money back, so he has to continue the illegal activity. He goes to prison over it, and then he gets stabbed in prison in the neck.

Speaker 125 More than stabbed.

Speaker 61 He had his throat cut.

Speaker 110 Throat cut in prison.

Speaker 31 And then his life, you know, right now, the story so far, and I'm not to say that there's not a lot more to this, but right now it ends in a Jack Black movie that just started a came out on Netflix.

Speaker 126 It's perfect, and it should be a Jack Black movie.

Speaker 52 Yes, it is.

Speaker 61 We live in a parallel universe, man.

Speaker 21 I really want to see it.

Speaker 74 The The movie's called The Polka King.

Speaker 32 There's not only a Jack Black movie, but also a documentary that are both on Netflix now if you're interested in the story.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I think it's across parts of the documentary.

Speaker 114 He's a fascinating guy.

Speaker 82 All right. Researchers found

Speaker 45 two really significant security flaws in chips that are used in nearly every PC, every server, every smartphone, every tablet.

Speaker 98 You know, if it says Intel,

Speaker 119 it has a backdoor to it.

Speaker 47 Hackers can potentially use these flaws to steal data stored in the memory, including passwords and files.

Speaker 54 They've put a patch out, but until those chips are all replaced,

Speaker 82 you know, you're at risk.

Speaker 41 So I got right on Facebook when the NFL alerted me that it was, you know, going to be the Vikings and the Patriots.

Speaker 2 Oh, did they?

Speaker 21 You didn't know that?

Speaker 61 No, I must have missed that up.

Speaker 75 Oh, really?

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Oh, Facebook, the NFL accidentally released

Speaker 82 an ad, call for your Super Bowl tickets now available, Patriots Vikings.

Speaker 17 Huh.

Speaker 52 And it didn't turn out that way.

Speaker 34 It did not.

Speaker 2 It did not turn out that way, thankfully.

Speaker 61 No offense, of course, to the Minnesota Vikings fans who they had a great season.

Speaker 60 But the fact that the Eagles are going to the Super Bowl this year should prove that we are in a parallel universe.

Speaker 28 It may.

Speaker 73 It's such a pleasant surprise with all the kind of craziness that's been going on.

Speaker 71 Again, as a big Eagles fan, this is something we take seriously when there's opportunities.

Speaker 54 Even as an Eagles fan, there's not a chance in hell that they're going to win against the Patriots.

Speaker 80 I mean, I'm not even a sports fan, let alone a football fan, and even I know that.

Speaker 19 Well, you hold out hope.

Speaker 36 I would say they're definitely the underdogs going in, sure.

Speaker 21 Sure.

Speaker 111 And I'm not one of those Eagles fans that's,

Speaker 108 there's a lot of people who are overly confident and maybe like

Speaker 73 talk trash.

Speaker 107 I do not do such things.

Speaker 74 I've been

Speaker 2 around for too long. Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 36 Philadelphia fans might be talking trash.

Speaker 74 Apparently, you know, some

Speaker 165 full beer cans will be thrown from time to time, some grease poles climbed.

Speaker 125 I'm just saying, they're not done paying for attacking, you know, I mean,

Speaker 61 the Lord's emissary with this. You know, Santa.

Speaker 102 You just don't put a...

Speaker 168 I mean, you just don't put an ice ball to Santa's head.

Speaker 102 You just don't.

Speaker 39 I believe it showed the love of the body.

Speaker 81 It was all the Lord's work.

Speaker 71 It showed their love of Santa Claus because it wasn't actually Santa Claus.

Speaker 74 They were upset the real one didn't show.

Speaker 39 And that's why they got an ice ball to the head.

Speaker 94 Well, we'll see how things work out.

Speaker 94 Glenn back

Speaker 2 Mercury

Speaker 125 this is the Glenn Beck program so we brought Pat Gray in for

Speaker 26 Pat Gray unleashed and Pat's excited about the

Speaker 27 the government shutdown and I'm personally excited about the asteroid that CNN says that the government is not going to be able to track.

Speaker 167 Well, thanks to Donald Trump, we're probably going to die within the next few days.

Speaker 36 You know, can I tell you something?

Speaker 167 You can't track it without the money. Right?

Speaker 2 No, no, no.

Speaker 34 And you know that the government, if an asteroid were going to hit the planet, you know the government would be.

Speaker 75 No, that's not an essential function of the government

Speaker 19 to make sure nothing hits the planet.

Speaker 21 Why would you burn yourself out?

Speaker 61 Yeah, mail is much more important.

Speaker 21 Oh, way more.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 91 Way more.

Speaker 173 So we can't.

Speaker 125 I'm actually rooting for the asteroid

Speaker 167 myself. Well, it's going to be a near-miss, like 2.6 million miles.

Speaker 75 Holy shit.

Speaker 21 Shoof.

Speaker 91 That close.

Speaker 112 Just that close.

Speaker 167 Close enough to warm up the paint.

Speaker 73 Well, with the government shutdown, though, we don't know if it's going to be 2.5 or 2.7 million miles.

Speaker 81 We'll never know.

Speaker 21 We'll never know.

Speaker 74 Well, we'll know probably after, but we won't know until after.

Speaker 167 Can you imagine if there was danger and they're like, nope.

Speaker 79 Sorry, we just, there's no money.

Speaker 167 I can't look at it.

Speaker 2 I can't even look in the telescope.

Speaker 91 that's how broke we are right now and there's no one there's no one that's like you know what i'm gonna do this one for free

Speaker 58 you know what i it might wipe out all important yeah it'll wipe all life out on planet earth i'm gonna do this one you know what just don't you don't have to charge me overtime i'm just gonna sit here and do it and we go through this every single time and there's been 19 19 shutdowns since 1976.

Speaker 167 was it oh my gosh so we've been through this over and over and over again and every time you know, all the essential things that have to happen.

Speaker 21 Happen. Happen.
Happen.

Speaker 112 People get their social security.

Speaker 167 We get the mail, even though I don't want it.

Speaker 79 Veterans get their pay.

Speaker 167 You know, if

Speaker 167 it was so easy to take care of things over the weekend that people were upset for the troops because they weren't. Initially, they weren't going to get the NFL broadcasts overseas.

Speaker 31 Which is a fascinating development because they fixed it in about five minutes.

Speaker 79 Yeah, they fixed it in about five minutes.

Speaker 73 So I guess that's an essential

Speaker 167 function of the government.

Speaker 74 I love, obviously, that our troops were able to listen to the games, and I'm fully in support of that.

Speaker 162 But we've been told for what, the entire year, that the country is boycotting these games because they're not patriotic enough.

Speaker 166 And now we must.

Speaker 86 It's an essential function of the government to get our troops access to these NFL games.

Speaker 81 You're not supposed to think about that.

Speaker 17 And it really shows you.

Speaker 12 I mean, it really shows you how desperate everybody is for a crisis.

Speaker 2 Asteroids.

Speaker 83 That would be an essential thing that the government should do to make sure that the Earth isn't destroyed during this time.

Speaker 109 Right. And then

Speaker 30 they compare asteroids and people, children are going to starve to death, but they sure went into action for the NFL to get the truth.

Speaker 87 I mean, that shows. Immediately.

Speaker 98 Yeah, that shows what essential really is.

Speaker 61 Yeah, it does.

Speaker 167 It does. And now they're saying that we may be completely in the dark for the State of the Union address at the Capitol building.

Speaker 115 Oh, wouldn't that be great?

Speaker 81 I would love that.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 81 To do the State of the Union by candlelight, that would be the greatest thing of all.

Speaker 2 And Do not televise.

Speaker 36 Don't televise it.

Speaker 110 Oh, it wasn't supposed to be.

Speaker 73 I mean, obviously, it wasn't supposed to be televised at the beginning because they had a problem with no televisions.

Speaker 21 It was always a letter.

Speaker 36 But yeah, it was supposed to be a letter.

Speaker 111 It's just an update on how we're doing.

Speaker 165 That's all it's supposed to be.

Speaker 111 It's not supposed to be the spectacle.

Speaker 73 It would be great if they backed off of that and just turned, you know what? I'm not doing this anymore.

Speaker 107 Screw you guys.

Speaker 61 I'm going home.

Speaker 21 That's what I want.

Speaker 72 I think you should do it whether the government's shut down or not.

Speaker 34 I mean, I have to tell you something.

Speaker 99 I'm rooting for the government shutdown and the asteroid.

Speaker 169 Now, not the asteroid.

Speaker 94 If we can keep the government from doing anything, you know, then I'm good.

Speaker 169 Then I want to live.

Speaker 7 We are in such an upside-down

Speaker 80 world that, you know, at times you just look at everything and you're like,

Speaker 168 there's nothing that makes sense anymore.

Speaker 167 And it's not surprising anymore, is it, that, that, depending on what party you're in, you take the opposite side

Speaker 167 last time. Yeah, no matter what.
Both parties do the exact same thing thing every time one of these shutdowns happen.

Speaker 167 It's not a big deal.

Speaker 19 It is a big deal.

Speaker 167 It's earth-shattering.

Speaker 167 It'll be a few days and all essential things are still going to happen.

Speaker 79 And then they just switch sides the next time.

Speaker 8 I would still be pissed if the veterans from World War II could not go to the memorial.

Speaker 34 I'd still be pissed. Yeah.
Even though the Republicans were doing it. But how many Republicans would be pissed?

Speaker 83 Hopefully all of them.

Speaker 2 Hopefully all of them. Hopefully, but that's not how it works.

Speaker 39 I know. I know.

Speaker 61 It just doesn't work that way.

Speaker 115 Just ignore it.

Speaker 105 Can we do an Overton window moment here for a second, though?

Speaker 74 You remember the book Glenn wrote, Overton Window, which, if you don't remember this, it was a theory by a think tank that basically said, like,

Speaker 32 the window of available policy options that we look at gets moved by the debate.

Speaker 73 So, you know.

Speaker 111 We are constantly fighting within that window.

Speaker 106 Both parties are picking something, but sometimes the entire window just moves to the left or moves to the right.

Speaker 98 Somebody, somebody, a powerful force will come and they will move it all.

Speaker 69 For instance, we would have never done the Patriot Act.

Speaker 28 Never.

Speaker 49 9-11 moved the window.

Speaker 11 And so all of a sudden, we were talking about fascism.

Speaker 80 And it was so far down that way that we were happy with the Patriot Act.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean?

Speaker 130 Where we would never have accepted that before.

Speaker 73 And this is happening here with this, with this debate on the shutdown.

Speaker 21 The shutdown is currently happening because both sides, the left and the right, are arguing which one wants to enact DACA more.

Speaker 171 This is a policy that is new to this country as of 2014.

Speaker 104 In fact,

Speaker 171 what we're talking about, if this goes away, is going back to the policy of the first five years of the Obama administration.

Speaker 104 And we are both, both sides are sitting here arguing, no, there's absolutely no solution that does not give amnesty to these people.

Speaker 91 And by the way, there's no one arguing.

Speaker 40 Amnesty was, amnesty was the thing that everybody's called a racist for.

Speaker 54 If you voted for Donald Trump, you were a racist because you didn't want amnesty.

Speaker 36 Now, amnesty is definitely on the table and nobody's saying anything about that.

Speaker 102 They're arguing how fast that amnesty is going to happen.

Speaker 52 Is it going to happen tomorrow or today?

Speaker 19 And not only is it for the Dreamers, but the latest proposal is their parents, too.

Speaker 19 So the parents who brought them and are responsible for this illegal activity, they're also going to be granted amnesty.

Speaker 19 you've gone from the 3.2 million Dreamers to,

Speaker 19 who knows, five,

Speaker 79 six million illegal aliens.

Speaker 34 And remember,

Speaker 47 the Dreamers Act happened in the second term of the Obama administration.

Speaker 75 Did it not? Well, DACA, yeah.

Speaker 32 DACA is a little bit different than the Dreamers, but they're lumped in together often.

Speaker 168 And that was an executive order because he couldn't get it passed.

Speaker 31 And now

Speaker 86 both sides are falling over each other to say how in favor of passing that thing that they couldn't get passed during Obama, how in favor they are.

Speaker 72 We want this to happen more than the other side.

Speaker 104 Both sides are saying that.

Speaker 86 This is something that Obama couldn't get done because the Republicans fought against it. They cared about stopping illegal immigration.

Speaker 73 Now, of course, there's a nuanced discussion to go on about

Speaker 73 these people who were brought here as children and are now older.

Speaker 111 And maybe if they have no, it wasn't their fault, obviously.

Speaker 31 They came here.

Speaker 73 Their parents brought them.

Speaker 31 They didn't know.

Speaker 39 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 165 We know all the nuance because that's all they ever talk about.

Speaker 73 But that was never the position of the conservatives.

Speaker 104 It used to be the litmus test against you as a candidate if you were a Republican.

Speaker 13 If you remember right, just two years ago, if you would have said on this or any other talk radio program, listen,

Speaker 60 after the border is secure,

Speaker 154 I don't mind if we talk about amnesty for those that are here.

Speaker 86 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 52 It was your last day on the air.

Speaker 75 It's why Marco Rubio was tossed to the side.

Speaker 81 It's why John McCain to a large degree. Yeah.

Speaker 127 That was one of his big problems is he supported that. Orrin Hatch was another big one on the Dreamers bill and people turned on him like crazy.
I mean,

Speaker 104 and I think rightfully so, in many ways.

Speaker 81 And now it's the policy of the party.

Speaker 167 Yeah. From the top down.

Speaker 86 It's actually, we're accusing the Democrats of not being pro-DACA enough.

Speaker 21 Okay, so hang on just a sec.

Speaker 61 Hang on just a second.

Speaker 34 So what's happened here?

Speaker 11 Is this

Speaker 98 a complete reversal of everything that conservatives believed about the rule of law?

Speaker 120 Or is this just a fulfillment of what we really perhaps believed

Speaker 90 after border security?

Speaker 80 And we're just now Trump, just now just assuming that Trump's going to get the border done.

Speaker 91 So in other words, like I was, I'm for, you know, talking about amnesty.

Speaker 39 Yeah, talking about

Speaker 48 after no one else comes through.

Speaker 99 Right.

Speaker 34 And once it's secure, then I'm willing to look and say, look, let's, let's talk about the people here and sort through people.

Speaker 103 I'm willing to do that.

Speaker 28 Always have been.

Speaker 21 However, not until security.

Speaker 128 So do we, have we just accepted that Donald Trump is going to get that border security done?

Speaker 36 It's already done.

Speaker 101 So why not just talk about it?

Speaker 19 Well, I think indications are the opposite of that.

Speaker 81 I think they've backed off getting that done.

Speaker 167 They're not really, they're not concerned about the wall as much anymore because he just wants a significant portion, whatever that means.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I mean, it doesn't have to be built everywhere.

Speaker 73 Even the administration themselves are saying that

Speaker 73 they've given a lot of ground to Democrats because right now they're trying to tell everyone that they're working towards a common goal.

Speaker 108 So they've admitted that they've given a lot of people.

Speaker 82 Again, let me play the average Trump voter, I think, that says, look, I didn't expect an entire wall.

Speaker 47 It's unreasonable to think that.

Speaker 40 It was fun to think that.

Speaker 15 It was.

Speaker 21 I know that.

Speaker 10 But let's give people the benefit of the doubt.

Speaker 168 It was fun to say that.

Speaker 93 And it was great.

Speaker 102 All I wanted was a secure border.

Speaker 94 I don't care how you get it done.

Speaker 82 So people are just saying, look, border crossings are down, what, 60%?

Speaker 82 Border crossings are down.

Speaker 81 We are enforcing the law.

Speaker 11 Things are changing.

Speaker 109 You know, I don't care.

Speaker 173 I mean, is that what's happening?

Speaker 23 I don't know.

Speaker 167 Probably to a certain extent. And, you know, the fight gets old after a while, and we lose interest in it.
And it's just, I don't want to hear any about it anymore. It's like the email scandal.

Speaker 19 It was like with Hillary. They keep bringing that up.

Speaker 75 And I'm almost done with that.

Speaker 36 I mean, aren't you?

Speaker 19 Are you sick and tired of hearing about the Hillary

Speaker 36 emails?

Speaker 46 The emails, yes, that we're doing tonight.

Speaker 6 We're doing a four-part series.

Speaker 20 Tonight's part one on Uranium One.

Speaker 21 I'm telling you.

Speaker 19 That's the part, though, that hasn't really been covered.

Speaker 84 No, that is, and there is something really wrong.

Speaker 20 When you see we are covering the Uranium One Hillary Clinton scandal tonight for four nights, only on the Blaze TV, 5 o'clock, don't miss the show.

Speaker 81 It's Blackboard.

Speaker 6 And I'm telling you, there is something really wrong there.

Speaker 69 And you tie that together with what the FBI did this weekend. We found out on Friday,

Speaker 22 they just, you know, oops, accidentally deleted 9,000 tweets from this FBI guy who was having an affair talking about Trump,

Speaker 89 you know, integral into the investigation.

Speaker 30 There's something wrong with the FBI.

Speaker 21 It's despicable.

Speaker 29 It is.

Speaker 80 And there's something very wrong.

Speaker 174 And as I made in my prediction,

Speaker 58 nothing will come of this because both sides are in too deep with Russia.

Speaker 82 And it involves our Justice Department, our FBI.

Speaker 77 I would bet my life on it.

Speaker 7 And they're both in too deep.

Speaker 135 And so they're just going to back away and say, okay, well, here's some bad stuff, but not bad enough for anybody to really worry about.

Speaker 21 Don't you think? Yeah, I do.

Speaker 69 Yeah. We're never going to get the truth on Russia.

Speaker 99 And it's bad. And you know what?

Speaker 19 Well, we never got the truth on Benghazi either. So

Speaker 177 that was the same thing.

Speaker 32 It felt after a while, it was like, all right, I don't know. We said Benghazi how many times

Speaker 39 happening.

Speaker 81 You know, I mean, it just felt like it wasn't.

Speaker 105 I mean, they even made it into a really good movie and people didn't pay attention to it.

Speaker 102 Did you see what Twitter did?

Speaker 69 And they, about 700,000 people got a notice from Twitter this weekend that said, hey, in our records, we're just trying to make sure that people know that Russia is doing things and you have retweeted some things from Russian bots.

Speaker 21 Did you see that? I didn't. Okay.

Speaker 125 So they came out with this.

Speaker 98 They just, they sent it to, let me see if I can find it, 700 or 677,000 people,

Speaker 125 Americans who were caught up in this, and they just retweeted something that was fake from Russia and it's now been, you know, tied to a Russian bot.

Speaker 78 If you look at

Speaker 103 the comments from conservatives on this, you were doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin and you were doing it not with a troll, with a bot.

Speaker 67 Okay?

Speaker 109 Now, I would assume that the left who also

Speaker 34 was doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin and tweeting stuff on Black Lives Matter, I'm assuming they got notifications as well.

Speaker 83 They better have.

Speaker 168 I haven't seen that anywhere, but they better have.

Speaker 7 And both sides ought to stop saying stuff about Twitter in this particular case and start saying, holy crap,

Speaker 94 I forwarded things from, thank you, Twitter.

Speaker 53 Thank you for letting me know that this was a Russian bot.

Speaker 94 I'd like to know, I don't care whose side you're on, I'd like to know if Vladimir Putin is trying to influence my thinking.

Speaker 52 I think that's a service, but that's not what you're hearing from at least the right that I saw over the weekend.

Speaker 84 And it was deafening from the left.

Speaker 10 I don't even know if the left was even informed.

Speaker 24 I don't understand why this isn't the goal of all of this.

Speaker 160 You know,

Speaker 105 we were talking to you about the, you know, the releasing of the memo.

Speaker 73 right that that's supposed to come out and this russia investigation is supposed to be about finding out what the hell russia is trying to do to influence our elections and other things.

Speaker 165 And it's never about that.

Speaker 164 I mean, this, the whole release the memo thing, I have, I want to hear it.

Speaker 74 I want to know it's in there.

Speaker 111 I obviously am interested.

Speaker 171 I don't know who we're asking to release it.

Speaker 21 I don't know who the Republicans are asking.

Speaker 98 I don't want it released if it's going to if it's going to compromise.

Speaker 167 We all want to see what it is, but I don't want the prosecution compromising.

Speaker 73 But that's what I'm talking about, is the theater around it, right? Like there's a legitimate reason not to release this stuff because

Speaker 86 you don't want to make it into a situation where you're just scoring political points and you're going to screw up an investigation because there could be something real there that we can actually get to something where maybe someone's prosecuted or who knows who knows so there's a reason to maybe not release it but the point is if they wanted it released it's their own side that could release it yeah here's the thing you really just you need to watch uh our special on uranium one all this week blackboards all this week five o'clock on theblaze.com slash tv and pat gray unleashed coming up in just a minute i'm gonna be joining him actually today to talk a little bit about a half an hour from now.

Speaker 160 I run my mouth for a living all day, basically, and and it can be a little exhausting. I mean, it's not a real job, but it still could be exhausting.

Speaker 160 Plus, I do have all-day meetings afterwards, and I've got a couple of little kids.

Speaker 126 At times, energy runs a little bit low.
