Speaker 4 Chung Spicer is out.

Speaker 6 The White House

Speaker 4 has signaled acceptance of the Russian sanctions.

Speaker 7 Charlie Gard,

Speaker 4 the staff at the hospital, say they have now received death threats.

Speaker 7 We're still waiting to hear the fate of Charlie Gard.

Speaker 14 Also, anybody see Dunkirk Dunkirk this weekend?

Speaker 5 Absolutely,

Speaker 16 I believe,

Speaker 19 a masterpiece written in a way that I have never seen any movie written before.

Speaker 21 Really incredible.

Speaker 3 We'll talk about that and so much more.

Speaker 22 We begin right now.

Speaker 22 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand. Cause we have won.

Speaker 22 I will beat my drum.

Speaker 22 I have made my choice.

Speaker 24 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 26 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 27 Let me just start with

Speaker 28 the

Speaker 20 weekend news.

Speaker 3 Dunkirk was performing really, really well.

Speaker 29 I had a hard time finding a movie theater

Speaker 9 that actually had any seats available this weekend.

Speaker 31 50 million, 50.5.

Speaker 32 That's it? Yeah.

Speaker 18 Wow, I thought it would have been a lot more than that.

Speaker 31 It's still a pretty good opening for it.

Speaker 33 It was pretty long, wasn't it?

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Two and a half hours, I believe.

Speaker 23 Something like that, yeah.

Speaker 22 I went to the I saw the movie theater that you suggested, Stu.

Speaker 23 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 36 And remember, I was mocking you on Friday? Yes.

Speaker 38 And I said, a sound, it's fine.

Speaker 3 How good can the sound be?

Speaker 39 Holy cow. Really?

Speaker 42 I went to a 70-millimeter Dolby sound.

Speaker 33 The Dolby Atmos sound.

Speaker 44 It was unbelievable.

Speaker 33 It's incredible.

Speaker 7 All the subwoofers are underneath the stadium seating.

Speaker 47 So when a plane in Dunkirk, when a plane was going from left of screen to the right of the screen,

Speaker 48 you felt the rumble underneath you as if the rumble.

Speaker 23 It was unbelievable.

Speaker 31 I saw it in XD, and

Speaker 49 it's not quite that good an experience.

Speaker 50 You need to go.

Speaker 22 I told Tanya, because she didn't go.

Speaker 52 I took the boys, and

Speaker 53 she didn't go. And I said,

Speaker 54 you have to see it. And we're driving 30 minutes minutes to this theater to see it.

Speaker 57 Seeing it on XD Dolby Atmos was remarkable.

Speaker 51 Remarkable.

Speaker 20 Let me just say this.

Speaker 13 I thought

Speaker 8 for a

Speaker 21 movie where

Speaker 45 it was about the near death of the English army

Speaker 62 and French.

Speaker 64 that had such high casualties, it was the least gory film I think I have seen of any war.

Speaker 9 It was almost, in some ways, it didn't feel like this at all, but almost like an old 1970s TV war.

Speaker 69 You didn't really see

Speaker 70 blood splattering.

Speaker 43 You didn't see. I was good with that, too.

Speaker 71 I'm glad that. I am too.

Speaker 31 Yeah, I'm glad they didn't. You didn't need it.

Speaker 56 Didn't need it at all.

Speaker 73 It had,

Speaker 74 personally, I didn't think there was a star to the movie.

Speaker 75 There was no

Speaker 71 Private Ryan.

Speaker 76 There was no Tom Hanks.

Speaker 20 It was cut up into

Speaker 77 three different

Speaker 52 angles.

Speaker 43 And it's really important when you go to see this.

Speaker 9 I thought it was very ineffective.

Speaker 41 The only thing that I could criticize this movie on is Christopher Nolan,

Speaker 22 if he would change one.

Speaker 43 It's the first way to shoot it.

Speaker 47 Yeah, and if he changed one word, or one way, in one frame, he would be able to fix this problem.

Speaker 41 What he did is at the beginning, it's showing the guy, one of the guys who is basically on the beach. I'm not going to give anything away.

Speaker 43 This is important for you to.

Speaker 71 This will help the experience.

Speaker 66 Yes, it'll help the experience.

Speaker 22 So, this is the very beginning.

Speaker 28 Shows the guy,

Speaker 76 you know, on the beach, and it will say underneath, it will say the mole one week.

Speaker 85 Now, I didn't know what the mole is.

Speaker 31 The mole is the area of the beach where they evacuated. Correct.
They called it the Dunkirk mole.

Speaker 87 Okay, so

Speaker 79 they say that in the movie, you know, in the first opening minutes, you miss it.

Speaker 14 But you miss it.

Speaker 6 It's just in conversation.

Speaker 14 And if you miss what the mole is, you will be confused.

Speaker 22 Because the mole, it'll say the mole, one week.

Speaker 31 So it takes one week, well, all the things that happen there.

Speaker 19 So everything that happens on the beach is a one-week time period. Then a few minutes later, it will show something that's happening in the water and it says the water.

Speaker 95 The sea.

Speaker 37 Oh, yeah, the sea one day

Speaker 43 and then a few you know minutes later it says the air one hour if you don't like me i didn't know what the mole was and so when i saw the mole one week i was trying to figure out what the mole was more than one week So I'm like, what the hell is the mole?

Speaker 8 It must be that guy is the mole or is this a plan?

Speaker 23 Is this a plan?

Speaker 46 What is it?

Speaker 19 So I missed the one week.

Speaker 14 Then the next time it said the water, one day, I was trying to figure out the relationship between that guy and the water.

Speaker 19 I didn't understand.

Speaker 18 And so I missed that.

Speaker 19 It is shot and edited in three different ways.

Speaker 94 It is, and it coins, the whole thing moves at the same time, but there are three different time periods they're looking at.

Speaker 61 One week, everything on the beach, one hour, I'm sorry, one day, everything in the water,

Speaker 50 and one hour in the air.

Speaker 41 When you understand that,

Speaker 3 my daughter, Hannah, was the only one that caught this,

Speaker 44 at least in our family.

Speaker 6 And she, we got out and we were talking about it and she said, oh my gosh, dad, didn't you recognize that you saw X, Y, and Z earlier in the film?

Speaker 22 And I was like,

Speaker 38 yes, I did, but I didn't understand.

Speaker 104 I didn't understand why it was there and what the relationship was.

Speaker 106 I couldn't.

Speaker 89 If you miss that one thing, you'll miss a lot of this movie.

Speaker 32 With that being said,

Speaker 37 this movie is, I think,

Speaker 108 a war masterpiece.

Speaker 48 I have never seen a movie where the closest you can get to this is Hitchcock, where the score,

Speaker 14 the Hans Zimmer score,

Speaker 48 Hans Zimmer was his, he was a co-writer of this film because the language,

Speaker 52 the talking, the what do you call it?

Speaker 31 has a ton of dialogue in it.

Speaker 43 Very little.

Speaker 107 And it's not that important because it doesn't carry the story.

Speaker 9 There is no real story except, oh, they got to get off the beach.

Speaker 57 So

Speaker 22 the dialogue is not that important.

Speaker 21 The music starts with a ticking at the very beginning, and it never stops.

Speaker 22 And Hans Zimmer...

Speaker 19 is a co-writer of this movie.

Speaker 52 He's not just the guy who did the music.

Speaker 27 I believe he's a co-writer of this movie.

Speaker 17 It's brilliant the way it's done.

Speaker 43 Brilliant.

Speaker 31 I was surprised how many people

Speaker 31 never heard of Dunkirk.

Speaker 112 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 71 That blows me away.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 114 I mean, what has happened to our education system?

Speaker 31 Yeah. My oldest said he'd never heard of it.

Speaker 116 How did that happen?

Speaker 114 How did you graduate?

Speaker 33 How did we let that slip through the cracks?

Speaker 119 You don't know Dunkirk?

Speaker 42 It's amazing.

Speaker 61 How many people won't know

Speaker 17 that

Speaker 61 some important dialogue and again I'm not

Speaker 17 wrecking anything some important dialogue in the movie is

Speaker 43 is the speech of Winston Churchill because they don't get you know we will storm the beaches we will

Speaker 23 it becomes narration at one point and you don't really I mean people I'll bet you most people won't put together oh that's Winston Churchill's speech even though it's said said once,

Speaker 60 but it's, you know,

Speaker 31 the scale of those few days is unbelievable. When you think that the British had 68,000 casualties and the French 290,000,

Speaker 31 that would shut the United States of America down.

Speaker 13 We would be out of the war. Okay, we're done.

Speaker 31 I mean, we don't have the stomach for that.

Speaker 49 No.

Speaker 56 At all.

Speaker 6 Especially when you look at per capita.

Speaker 23 Think about that. Per capita.

Speaker 95 Yeah, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 118 I mean, and it was per capita in 1940.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 41 And it was, you know, there was really some amazing things of

Speaker 120 real heroism.

Speaker 61 And then,

Speaker 22 you know, I happened to go with a guy who is Scottish.

Speaker 91 And I said to him,

Speaker 37 so he's in the, I don't know, the royal

Speaker 16 greeny wigs or whatever they call them over there.

Speaker 70 He's actually

Speaker 16 an amazing guy.

Speaker 121 But

Speaker 37 he said,

Speaker 91 I said, how did you make that?

Speaker 9 How did that feel? Does that feel like,

Speaker 77 I guess, American history would feel to me?

Speaker 16 Is that real extra poignant to you?

Speaker 49 And he said, it's funny because I was wondering how Americans would view this.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 106 heroism is heroism.

Speaker 124 And it doesn't matter where it's from.

Speaker 53 And it was...

Speaker 6 It was remarkable.

Speaker 125 There are times when, again, a movie with really no storyline and no lead characters, and when you, at one point in the movie, and I won't say anything about it, but at one point in the movie,

Speaker 15 nothing is said

Speaker 98 and you will start crying.

Speaker 64 You will just be so overwhelmed with heroism.

Speaker 6 It's a remarkable movie.

Speaker 33 It's one of those times, too, where you really can't complain about spoiler alerts because it just admits that you don't know anything about history.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 126 What war? What do you now ruined it?

Speaker 40 Dunkirk, who knew they were on the the beach?

Speaker 23 Oh, come on.

Speaker 33 It's a minor problem.

Speaker 54 Boy,

Speaker 41 I'm amazed, too,

Speaker 40 with them on the beach that long, Pat, it really comes through on either divine providence or how stupid and insane

Speaker 95 Hitler was. Yeah.

Speaker 56 I mean, he stopped.

Speaker 10 He did. He had him on the beach.

Speaker 76 He told him to stop.

Speaker 129 And he stops and turns around.

Speaker 22 He could have wiped out all of the French and all of the English, and he could have conquered England.

Speaker 61 We would have been totally alone, totally alone in the war.

Speaker 33 One of the miracles, the fact that we survived that at all, is because he was so convinced he was brilliant. Yes.
Like the fact that he,

Speaker 33 every single vibe of his, every single

Speaker 33 movement of his quote-unquote gut, he acted on for so long wound up being one of the only ways that we escaped really

Speaker 33 much, much worse than he would have happened.

Speaker 6 I I mean, when you see this and you really put into perspective what you know about history, that that was it.

Speaker 41 I mean, that was that was the fleet. I mean, the reason why they didn't come over and save them was because they didn't want to get rid of the boats that they had.

Speaker 45 They knew if they go, they send their navy over to Dunkirk and

Speaker 41 he sinks them, they're done.

Speaker 131 I mean, it was this event that caused Churchill to finally call and say, I want you to know

Speaker 48 if you don't get involved now,

Speaker 114 any boat that is left, you will see on your shore soon, and it will have a swastika on it, not the flag of Great Britain.

Speaker 30 And that's the only reason why we got involved.

Speaker 132 I mean,

Speaker 64 it was dire.

Speaker 31 Well, even then, it took the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 71 But we started Lend-Lease. Yeah.

Speaker 96 You know,

Speaker 19 we sunk the British Navy.

Speaker 22 Most people don't know this.

Speaker 15 When we won world war ii we were so world war one we were so arrogant on the league of nations which didn't happen that woodrow wilson for us anyway yeah for woodrow wilson he said to the british you need to scale back your navy now here's a country that has that at that time the sun never sets on

Speaker 135 So if you don't have a navy, how are you going to defend your colonies?

Speaker 6 So he says to Wilson and Churchill, who happens to be, I think, the head of the Navy, Secretary of Navy.

Speaker 22 I don't know what they call him over there.

Speaker 22 But he's like the Secretary of Navy.

Speaker 41 And he says, you've got to sink half your fleet.

Speaker 136 They do it because they owe us so much money.

Speaker 86 They sink half their fleet.

Speaker 61 Then...

Speaker 134 We humiliate the Germans, don't even give them a chair at the table of the negotiations for peace.

Speaker 105 You needed a chair?

Speaker 6 Should have thought of that before you started a war.

Speaker 65 So we humiliate them.

Speaker 6 And then in the 1930s, when Germany is breaking all of their treaties and they're building ships, they're building subs, they're building planes.

Speaker 56 The Luftwaffe is just growing beyond comprehension.

Speaker 17 The fastest growing industrial might in the world is happening in Germany.

Speaker 38 And Churchill says, we don't have a navy, guys, remember?

Speaker 37 The reason why they had to come to us and say, we need ships.

Speaker 57 You need to sell us ships

Speaker 15 is because we sunk their navy.

Speaker 16 We told them, we'll keep the peace.

Speaker 41 We're going to sink the navy and the League of Nations will do it.

Speaker 89 And

Speaker 73 we were so arrogant that people in Congress said, don't build ships.

Speaker 6 No, the way to keep peace is not to have any warships.

Speaker 3 Finally, after Dunkirk, it was FDR who said, okay,

Speaker 75 we're going to lend them and lease them to you, but we can't sell anything to you.

Speaker 76 And that was the beginning of us getting involved and actually saving the world.

Speaker 47 And now this,

Speaker 139 summer vacation.

Speaker 22 Summer vacation is exciting for you, but it's also exciting for burglars,

Speaker 6 knowing Knowing that you leave your house empty, I remember we grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington at 202 Warren.

Speaker 22 It's a great house that my mother grew up in across the street from.

Speaker 124 And she used to look at her out of her window and she would look at that house and say, someday, someday, I want to own that house.

Speaker 98 I want to live there.

Speaker 13 And that's the house that I grew up in.

Speaker 52 And

Speaker 60 we never locked our doors except when we would go on vacation.

Speaker 32 Because there's nobody around.

Speaker 30 Nothing going to happen.

Speaker 60 Somebody can come in and rob everything.

Speaker 59 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 26 Mercury. Mercury.

Speaker 26 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 91 So glad that you have tuned in.

Speaker 60 There's a horrible tragedy that happened in San Antonio

Speaker 53 this weekend.

Speaker 83 A

Speaker 114 semi-tractor trailer

Speaker 98 was found, and

Speaker 51 it was full of illegals.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 3 how many were dead?

Speaker 76 We think that there were probably a hundred in there because some ran out as soon as they opened the doors.

Speaker 41 17 are in the hospital, nine are dead.

Speaker 76 And I have to tell you, the truck driver should get the death penalty.

Speaker 91 I really believe we need to send a very strong message to people who are acting as coyotes.

Speaker 98 You get the death penalty, man.

Speaker 89 If you are caught and you are transporting people like cattle and anyone dies,

Speaker 23 you're

Speaker 80 death penalty.

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 142 This is horrible. This happens.

Speaker 50 You don't understand.

Speaker 72 Can you imagine how hot that truck was?

Speaker 22 100 degree temperatures.

Speaker 118 Dozens and dozens of people in it.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 31 And over 100?

Speaker 143 Well, that's what we were just talking about. I mean, they showed

Speaker 143 the footage was showing cars coming earlier and picking up some humans and driving away.

Speaker 143 So then we had the nine now dead and the 17 or so in the hospital. And I think they had others that they picked up that were not in the hospital.
So, I mean, we're just guessing, right?

Speaker 143 There was 40 or 50 that we have right now, probably more.

Speaker 143 You know, for sure more, but we just don't know how many.

Speaker 61 But to me, it's not even no water provided.

Speaker 31 Yeah, nothing.

Speaker 10 No water.

Speaker 143 Yeah, that's because I mean, that's how they found out. Yeah.
Right. The guy came into the Walmart

Speaker 143 asking for water, and the employee saw that he was was close to you know he called the police dead yeah yeah

Speaker 61 I mean it's horrible it

Speaker 144 he's going they're going the the truck driver is going to go in front of the judge today here in Texas right yes

Speaker 29 hope he's got a hanging judge hope he's got a good old Texan that that will teach him a thing or two about the

Speaker 28 uh

Speaker 28 taking life

Speaker 122 uh

Speaker 33 lightly remember remember though the caring side of this argument is to let this continue. It's not to fight and secure the border.
The caring part of this argument is to

Speaker 33 allow this to continue as a process that's been going on for how many years?

Speaker 31 Either that or to just open the border wide because they're calling this death by policy.

Speaker 30 I mean, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 23 So here's the thing.

Speaker 106 Such insanity.

Speaker 15 So here's the thing.

Speaker 97 We have to decide.

Speaker 6 That's the real problem here, is that we are playing the middle ground.

Speaker 6 We either decide, this is wrong.

Speaker 31 Either we have a border and enforce it or we don't.

Speaker 119 Or we don't.

Speaker 86 But

Speaker 97 you have to decide.

Speaker 48 This sanctuary city thing is a lure and brings lots of money into people who will do this kind of thing

Speaker 21 with an empty semi.

Speaker 41 So which is it going to be? Are we going to incentivize those people, which will lead to more death and destruction?

Speaker 88 Or are we going to say, we have a border, take it seriously?

Speaker 42 Personally, for the driver of this truck who knew and allowed these people to die, Texas death penalty should be coming his way.

Speaker 42 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 42 Mercury.

Speaker 42 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 90 America.

Speaker 22 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 102 There's a couple of things going on.

Speaker 44 First of all, Charlie Guard's parents have said that time has now run out for their child

Speaker 49 and

Speaker 90 they have withdrawn their request

Speaker 77 to continue to fight on for the child.

Speaker 83 It must be that

Speaker 44 I'm guessing it must be that

Speaker 91 the doctors came back and said,

Speaker 61 nothing worth it.

Speaker 52 I don't think not worth it.

Speaker 17 Probably it's too late.

Speaker 118 Yeah. Not going to help.

Speaker 9 Because of the way it was phrased, that the time has run out.

Speaker 73 I can't imagine

Speaker 86 giving up.

Speaker 148 But if the doctors are saying

Speaker 128 there is no treatment and nothing that can be done, removing a ventilator

Speaker 37 that is a medical procedure, that is not food and water.

Speaker 18 That is allowing a child to die a natural death.

Speaker 98 A ventilator is medical treatment where food and water is not.

Speaker 35 Yeah,

Speaker 33 it's interesting. I mean, I think you're right.
It's probably related to a downturn

Speaker 33 in their optimism as far as this goes. Because, I mean, they went through 11 months of this, and the hearings were supposed to be today and tomorrow.

Speaker 33 Like, why would you go through 11 months and then be like, all right, well, not two more days?

Speaker 13 Well, probably because the hearings, the doctors probably came back and said, there's nothing we can do.

Speaker 33 Right. Like, they may have lost the support of the doctors who believed there was hope.

Speaker 33 And at that point, maybe you don't go forward.

Speaker 90 What do you do?

Speaker 41 The only reason why you would do it is because you would want your son

Speaker 38 to you would want somebody else not to have to go through what you just went through.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 92 You know, if you could break the back and say, I don't care what the doctors say, we have a right to take our son

Speaker 8 anywhere.

Speaker 101 We have a right to do that.

Speaker 44 You know, it might be worth the extra two days to try to win that battle.

Speaker 53 But honestly, you know, these parents have been through hell.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 148 just thinking of their child, if there is no hope,

Speaker 37 And they're not going to starve the baby to death,

Speaker 135 they're not not going to do that, right?

Speaker 32 They're just removing the ventilator.

Speaker 33 Yeah, the reporting is that they're going to remove the ventilator and it will allow him to, quote, slip away.

Speaker 13 Yeah. That's just terrible.

Speaker 68 So sad.

Speaker 33 It's hard to put your, even put yourself in the position of these parents. And, you know, they have done quite a bit to alert people about battles like this that do happen all around the world.

Speaker 33 But, you know,

Speaker 33 I mean, this is obviously not the ending that you would hope for. They said that instead that it's going to be a short hearing today, and I guess it can happen anytime.

Speaker 95 So

Speaker 95 it's really sad.

Speaker 91 Jared Kushner, here's some new news, confirmed four contacts with Russi during his father-in-law's presidential campaign and the tradition.

Speaker 91 But he has now described the meetings as unmemorable and denied colluding with the Russian government to help Donald Trump win. In the most consequential meeting, Kushner said he had

Speaker 32 agreed to meet with a Russian banker at the request of the Russian ambassador.

Speaker 41 He said that nothing of substance came from from the meeting, and he had no reason to connect with him since.

Speaker 106 So, why wouldn't you disclose this?

Speaker 33 Is this newly disclosed? Because he had disclosed previous meetings with,

Speaker 33 I mean, you know, unlike some other people in the administration, he is like an international businessman type.

Speaker 43 No, I know that, but he's, but he, but we have been, we've asked this over and over and over again.

Speaker 86 Just get it all out.

Speaker 43 Now,

Speaker 127 every time we have to know what the meetings were, if you would have just gotten them all out out and not here's the problem

Speaker 57 You look so guilty.

Speaker 39 I'm not saying you are you look so guilty by saying we never met with anyone Okay, the Russian ambassador did ask that I or that I would meet with this banker over there.

Speaker 103 Well, you were at the same time saying that you had no business dealings over there.

Speaker 14 So, I mean Was it business?

Speaker 12 Was it a possible collusion?

Speaker 150 Was it about getting deals done for the Russians?

Speaker 38 So the sanctions?

Speaker 23 We don't know.

Speaker 21 And nobody has any credibility.

Speaker 150 The press doesn't have any credibility.

Speaker 152 Kushner doesn't have any credibility.

Speaker 61 So we don't know.

Speaker 33 Yeah, I read somewhere this morning that Kushner's statement is a perfectly plausible series of events. It just should have been released a long time ago.
Yes.

Speaker 33 Which, you know, I mean, is a legitimate. issue that everybody in the White House seems to have.
I mean, obviously, the Don Jr. thing is the one that pops to mind more than anything.

Speaker 33 You know, look,

Speaker 33 I heard a congressman on, I think it was CNN earlier talking about how, like, you know,

Speaker 33 this idea of collusion, it's just absurd and blah, blah, blah. It's like, well, look, we have no evidence that any collusion actually happened, but we do absolutely have evidence from Donald Jr.

Speaker 33 releasing his own email that he wanted it to happen. Yes.
Now, he may have failed at it.

Speaker 153 It may have turned into nothing.

Speaker 33 Those are all understandable things that should be parsed and are important in the investigation.

Speaker 31 But as Kham said, being incompetent and collusion is no excuse.

Speaker 31 You're trying to collude and you're just bad at it.

Speaker 72 That doesn't help.

Speaker 39 Going to buy heroin or trying to

Speaker 23 Charles Krauthammer, for those of you not in the know,

Speaker 58 you know,

Speaker 48 going to

Speaker 59 a hooker.

Speaker 73 and exchanging money with a hooker who ends up being a cop.

Speaker 22 Well, I didn't do anything. You weren't a hooker.

Speaker 57 Well, but yeah, but that's what you were coming for.

Speaker 56 That's what you were.

Speaker 22 Yeah, but I didn't complete the transaction because I didn't get my part of it.

Speaker 109 Well, wait.

Speaker 33 Well, this is the argument of everybody who's been on to catch a predator. Yes.
Right. Like, well, you didn't actually have sex with a 13-year-old.

Speaker 119 Right.

Speaker 10 Well, but we have 500 emails of you talking about how you wanted to have sex and you went to the house to meet.

Speaker 33 I mean, it's not crazy.

Speaker 33 Again, it's not, it, it doesn't prove that anything happened by any means, but you know, to call the idea that they would be interested in this absurd when the source is Donald Trump Jr.'s own emails that he released is kind of a stretch here.

Speaker 33 There's obviously something here. The question is, what level does it rise to?

Speaker 33 And I think, you know, it very well may be nothing. It does not help their case that it's nothing when these things start keep dripping out over a long period of time.
Just get it all out there.

Speaker 8 Just get it all out.

Speaker 33 It would be helpful to them at this point. And it would be helpful to the president's agenda.
It would be helpful to

Speaker 33 every principle that they're trying to advance.

Speaker 33 Getting these things out of the way

Speaker 33 would be helpful.

Speaker 91 Having the president come out and say, look, I'm not going to stand in the way of an investigation.

Speaker 44 It's got to be a fair investigation, but I'm not going to stand in the way of investigation.

Speaker 38 And, you know, did my son make mistakes?

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 14 But stop defending things that just don't look good.

Speaker 135 You can say, look, you know the biggest mistake?

Speaker 63 He forgot about it.

Speaker 37 His biggest mistake is he didn't bring it to me.

Speaker 105 His biggest mistake, whatever it is.

Speaker 21 But, you know, there wasn't any collusion,

Speaker 9 yada, yada, yada.

Speaker 14 But what you can't do is say,

Speaker 29 I'm going to pardon my children while saying no crime was committed.

Speaker 88 Why would you be looking to pardoning people if there was no crime?

Speaker 147 Now, I understand that the, you know, the

Speaker 91 Trump camp is saying he's just looking into it so he knows his options. But you can't say,

Speaker 38 you know, that you can pardon somebody if there was no crime.

Speaker 108 Second of all,

Speaker 17 the

Speaker 48 idea that

Speaker 147 the left is clean on this is absurd.

Speaker 41 Hillary Clinton, we now know, was doing exactly the same thing, trying to meet with the Russians to get information on Donald Trump, trying to meet, I mean, they were luring both of them in.

Speaker 31 And we didn't like it then, and we don't like it now. Right.

Speaker 39 You can't shout, what was it, jailer, lock her up,

Speaker 136 you can't chant lock her up, lock her up, or in this case now, saying, look at what she did.

Speaker 89 She was trying to collude.

Speaker 76 That was against the law.

Speaker 6 She's a lawbreaker.

Speaker 123 And

Speaker 23 hers didn't work out either.

Speaker 33 The reason you don't vote for Hillary Clinton is because you want better than Hillary Clinton. Correct.
So therefore, you should expect more than Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 80 Yes.

Speaker 33 And, you know, we don't know the answer to these things yet. We don't know how this thing ends up.

Speaker 18 And

Speaker 19 it doesn't affect any of our lives today.

Speaker 80 What does affect our life is Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan?

Speaker 73 They actually can affect your life.

Speaker 2 You need relief.

Speaker 38 You need tax relief.

Speaker 17 You need health care relief.

Speaker 127 You need insurance reform.

Speaker 134 Okay, how do we reform insurance?

Speaker 127 We get the government out of the way

Speaker 50 and we let the free market work.

Speaker 91 How do we get tax cuts?

Speaker 50 You get Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell out of the way.

Speaker 14 You call every congressman and every senator you can and demand that those guys are removed or real tax cuts for all Americans, all Americans happen.

Speaker 137 A reduction of spending and real tax cuts.

Speaker 31 It's really important now, too, because Schumer and the Democrats are stepping up and trying to fill this void.

Speaker 31 Did you hear the things he was saying yesterday on, I don't know, one of those Sunday shows?

Speaker 90 No.

Speaker 149 Listen to this.

Speaker 156 Number one, we're going to go after the drug companies.

Speaker 157 We will create a special, special office.

Speaker 116 They're going to create a special, special office.

Speaker 10 So that way, special, special door?

Speaker 117 He didn't say. He didn't say.

Speaker 18 We don't know.

Speaker 23 If we could get the special door with the special, special office, then we've got quite something to talk about.

Speaker 156 That will just go after these drug companies when they raise prices so egregiously

Speaker 156 and people can't afford these drugs. We're going to change the way companies can merge.
We have these huge companies buying up other big companies. It hurts workers and it hurts prices.

Speaker 156 The old Adam Smith idea of competition, it's gone.

Speaker 155 So people have to be able to talk about the people who are going to be able to do it.

Speaker 23 Oh, please don't talk to me about Adam Smith or competition.

Speaker 86 Oh, I don't think I can take the Democrats talking about Adam Smith.

Speaker 59 Smith's money.

Speaker 133 Because they just cherish Adam Smith's writings.

Speaker 72 Oh, my God.

Speaker 33 I'm pretty sure Adam Smith was open to the idea of companies being able to do what they want, including going into business with other companies, which would be mergers.

Speaker 156 They know that gas prices are sticky, you know, when the domestic price goes

Speaker 157 when the

Speaker 156 price for oil goes up on the markets, it goes right up, but it never goes down. How the hell?

Speaker 119 Okay, it never goes down. Has it gone down?

Speaker 5 It's under $2 a gallon now in most places in the country.

Speaker 5 It was what?

Speaker 31 This morning I stopped at the gas tank.

Speaker 112 I think it was $1.87.

Speaker 59 Oh, really? Yeah.

Speaker 143 Maybe I paid like $1.92 this weekend. It was under two.

Speaker 31 It was pretty amazing.

Speaker 156 Did we let Exxon and Mobile emerge?

Speaker 23 And that was demonstrated.

Speaker 156 So we're going to go after that, and that will help the average person lower their costs. And finally, we're going to have tomorrow a very novel idea of how to create 10 million jobs.

Speaker 156 There are 10 million Americans looking for good-paying jobs.

Speaker 156 We're going to show them how to find them.

Speaker 157 And that's just the beginning.

Speaker 156 Week after week, month after month, we're going to roll out specific pieces here that are quite different than the Democratic Party you heard in the past. We were too cautious.

Speaker 23 We were too cautious.

Speaker 72 Namby Pamby.

Speaker 157 This is sharp, bold, and will appeal

Speaker 157 to both the old Obama coalition.

Speaker 156 Let's say the young lady who's just getting out of college, and the Democratic voters who deserted us for Trump.

Speaker 160 So in other words,

Speaker 5 this is going to appeal to not just the communists, but the socialists as well. We're very excited about this bold new plan.

Speaker 71 Pretty broad there.

Speaker 122 Really, you're the ones who say

Speaker 122 that.

Speaker 139 The ones who say, Bernie Sanders, no, I can't do Hillary, so I'll do Trump.

Speaker 3 They're going to welcome them back.

Speaker 129 Right.

Speaker 54 And they're going to get

Speaker 44 the communist as well.

Speaker 90 That's beautiful. It's great.

Speaker 33 And he kind of went into, too, in that interview about how it really was, they think, their fault. Yeah.
Right?

Speaker 33 Like, they at least are taking responsibility of how do we lose to someone with a 40% approval rating? Well, it's because we sucked.

Speaker 8 It's going to work.

Speaker 31 That strategy. That's what I'm afraid.

Speaker 22 That strategy will work.

Speaker 113 They're calling it bold.

Speaker 31 They're calling it, you know. Yep.

Speaker 48 And what do the Republicans have?

Speaker 155 They're in charge.

Speaker 40 They've got nothing.

Speaker 72 Nothing.

Speaker 127 You come up with a bold tax plan, you will have all pieces of the right,

Speaker 161 and

Speaker 107 those people in the middle and the

Speaker 18 uh libertarians come to the table as well the independents will come to the table with a bold tax plan that frees companies and frees people up and gives the average person more money back to them gives them their money not somebody else's money their money back yeah you you will have a bold plan and you can win you want the rusha thing off the paper that dude annoy them annoy them with how bold your tax plan is.

Speaker 31 Yep.

Speaker 122 No.

Speaker 113 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 71 I mean, we're all pretty smart.

Speaker 71 All of us together?

Speaker 43 Or yes, all of us together.

Speaker 17 I mean, together, we are probably smarter than the average one-quarter of a person.

Speaker 23 That's the thing.

Speaker 30 That's saying a lot.

Speaker 29 It is. Don't think that through.

Speaker 17 The course,

Speaker 83 the test,

Speaker 106 I bet you four questions.

Speaker 57 Can't get through four questions.

Speaker 71 I'm sure you're right.

Speaker 164 Where are you seeing this? There's no question.

Speaker 22 None of your business.

Speaker 158 Where are you seeing this?

Speaker 164 So I can Google it and look it up a little bit and find it.

Speaker 23 No, do not.

Speaker 40 Close your computer.

Speaker 72 Nope. No.

Speaker 159 Stop it right now.

Speaker 136 I'm going to give it to you next hour.

Speaker 22 Gonna give it to you next hour.

Speaker 23 Don't look it up.

Speaker 85 Don't look it up.

Speaker 90 Don't do it.

Speaker 41 I'll just change the test because there's lots of them out there.

Speaker 62 So Google all you want.

Speaker 22 I don't need to Google.

Speaker 49 The other.

Speaker 17 I'm too smart for Google.

Speaker 38 I can process millions of things and find exactly what I'm looking for on the web just by typing the exact address in, including the HTTP part.

Speaker 20 Let me also take you

Speaker 15 through a lesson of what the media really is like and ask you some tough questions about the media and ourselves

Speaker 98 when we come back.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 1 The Blaze Radio Network

Speaker 1 on demand.

Speaker 133 I love this story.

Speaker 132 Israel refuses to remove

Speaker 97 metal detectors from mosques

Speaker 4 despite rising violence.

Speaker 6 Well, why would you remove?

Speaker 93 It should be despite a lack of violence, despite a lack of problems.

Speaker 138 Then maybe you talk about removing the metal detector.

Speaker 69 It's a rise in violence.

Speaker 37 You don't take away the things that help you stop that violence, but maybe it's just me.

Speaker 3 I'm not looking for wormholes anymore.

Speaker 22 I know I slipped through a wormhole and I'm in some sort of an America that looks like the one I grew up in, but has

Speaker 102 come on, has absolutely nothing to do with the America that you and I grew up in or the world.

Speaker 47 At least math makes sense, right?

Speaker 166 I mean, at least they're not teaching our kids that two plus two equals five sometimes, if you could explain it.

Speaker 91 All right, we're gonna bring in someplace else right now.

Speaker 91 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, cause we have one. won.
I will be my drum.

Speaker 91 I have made my choice. We will overcome.

Speaker 91 Cause we are one.

Speaker 91 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 26 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 11 Stu, start with just the facts.

Speaker 137 No speculation.

Speaker 102 Just the facts on what is happening with our Attorney General right now.

Speaker 96 Donald Trump is

Speaker 150 rumored to be letting him go or he's leaving the administration because of

Speaker 33 Donald. Well, this is not speculation.
Donald Trump did not like the fact that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation. He wanted an ally there and instead now has

Speaker 33 obviously the

Speaker 33 Mueller investigation going on. And his belief is that if Sessions didn't recuse himself, he wouldn't be dealing with this.

Speaker 12 Well, but give me the facts.

Speaker 3 Sessions, when he took the job, there wasn't this talk of Russia, so he couldn't have said, hey, by the way, I'm out on that Russia thing.

Speaker 33 Right. The timeline, he wouldn't be able to tell.
Trump's hope in that New York Times interview was to say, look,

Speaker 33 if he wanted to recuse himself, fine, but tell me before I hire you so I can hire somebody else. But the timeline doesn't work out for that.
He wouldn't have known about this yet.

Speaker 33 And then, you know, today, Trump tweeted,

Speaker 33 called Sessions his the beleaguered attorney general.

Speaker 33 And the idea.

Speaker 19 Why would you call him beleaguered?

Speaker 61 Why would you call your own guy beleaguered?

Speaker 33 Well, the answer is that he didn't, he's not investigating the Clintons,

Speaker 33 which is interesting because Trump, of course, himself has said that he made the decision to not investigate the Clintons upon becoming president because, you know,

Speaker 33 they've taken their beating, essentially. Like, we don't need to bother with that.
I mean, he said that right after he won.

Speaker 41 He was

Speaker 123 being magnanimous.

Speaker 33 Yeah. It was like, you know, like, we don't need to beat these poor people up anymore.

Speaker 33 That was kind of Trump's take on it. So now he's saying that

Speaker 33 he should be going after it.

Speaker 88 And he's blaming that policy on Sessions.

Speaker 76 On Sessions.

Speaker 33 So the speculation is, now we're crossing a line of speculation, that the Bannon

Speaker 33 Sessions, Priebus, Priebus group, which is one side of the sort of warring factions inside the United States.

Speaker 39 Do you know what side that is?

Speaker 44 What side is that?

Speaker 33 Well, I mean, Bannon and

Speaker 33 Sessions made

Speaker 33 an alliance very early. Sessions was the first senator to endorse Donald Trump at the time, said to Bannon, reportedly, that he knew it was the end of his career if Trump didn't win.

Speaker 33 I mean, Sessions went out on a big limb.

Speaker 33 And the idea was Bannon had wanted Sessions to run for president.

Speaker 33 which Sessions turned down, but they wanted someone to essentially work and do this nationalist, strong border, strong on crime, this sort of nationalist philosophy that Bannon holds dear.

Speaker 33 So does Sessions, and they wanted someone to run for president under that platform. They initially wanted Sessions, Sessions turned that down, and then they decided to go to Trump.

Speaker 33 Bannon went to Trump and said, or excuse me, Bannon went to Sessions and said, look, our guy's here.

Speaker 42 He will do this.

Speaker 33 He will go with this philosophy. You need to support him.
We need your support right now to make this happen and lock it in.

Speaker 33 Sessions, still skeptical that Trump would win, was nervous about this, but wound up going in on the promise and supported him.

Speaker 87 And

Speaker 33 it was the day after, I believe, Christie endorsed. And the Christie Sessions thing, really, you could argue, put them over the top with those two big endorsements at that time.
I think so.

Speaker 33 So, I mean, Sessions really hurt with conservatives. Yeah, it really, yeah, it helped Trump a lot.

Speaker 24 A lot. And,

Speaker 33 you know, again, we talk about loyalty a lot with Donald Trump, and it's, you know, he talks about how loyal he is to everyone. It's interesting in that, like, Sessions, you could argue, was the guy.

Speaker 33 Sessions was there from the beginning, and he did get rewarded with a spot

Speaker 33 in the administration.

Speaker 147 However, if he leaves now, six months in, I mean,

Speaker 20 he's given up his entire life

Speaker 43 work in the Senate.

Speaker 41 In the Senate, he's given up any, he has no chance of doing anything, and he hasn't accomplished anything.

Speaker 14 Now they're talking, now this again is speculation.

Speaker 84 They're now talking about Rudy Giuliani coming in and being the head of justice, which,

Speaker 37 you know, Rudy Giuliani is a great prosecutor, but is he going to be

Speaker 23 going to be

Speaker 129 an Eric Holder kind of a guy?

Speaker 91 Or is he going to be a guy who sees justice and says we're going for justice no matter where it leads?

Speaker 33 It's interesting in that the one differentiating part there between Giuliani and Sessions, because they're both known as being tough on crime. They're both known on that, as that.

Speaker 33 But Sessions is known for the border stuff where Giuliani is not. So if you're rooting for a wall, you might not like that switch so much.

Speaker 16 Yeah, because Giuliani is much more

Speaker 17 of an open borders kind of guy.

Speaker 33 That was one of the big complaints about him back when he was running for president. Now, he may very well still just convince.

Speaker 44 He's not a Sanctuary City guy, though, is he?

Speaker 122 I don't know.

Speaker 31 He's pretty bad on immigration.

Speaker 49 He should be.

Speaker 66 Pretty bad.

Speaker 17 That's got to kill.

Speaker 6 If Sessions would be replaced by Giuliani, that'll kill Jeff Sessions.

Speaker 17 He'd just be like, what have I done?

Speaker 33 But a lot of these people in the administration had differing viewpoints with Trump before they got in it, and they're able to do their jobs and support his agenda, right?

Speaker 33 I mean, there's a lot of that going on.

Speaker 33 It's not to say that Giuliani would change.

Speaker 33 If it's not your passion point, or Sessions, it's been his passion point for a long time.

Speaker 33 So you know he's trying to do everything he can to get that done. Where if it's not the number one priority for Giuliani, you know, it might not be as so if Trump would fire Jeff Sessions

Speaker 9 because of the Russia thing,

Speaker 2 do

Speaker 78 you have a problem with that?

Speaker 29 I'm asking you here and in the audience, too. Do you have a problem with that?

Speaker 41 There's an investigation. I'm trying to find out if there's any threshold of stopping.
If he fires the Attorney General because he wants him involved in the investigation,

Speaker 131 if he fires the special prosecutor,

Speaker 8 or

Speaker 67 if he starts to pardon people, is there a problem?

Speaker 13 Because

Speaker 55 I think those are stepping across lines.

Speaker 57 Sessions is probably the least of my concern.

Speaker 33 Yeah, because I mean, Sessions is, I mean, absolutely serves at the pleasure of the president and isn't in the middle of an investigation against the president.

Speaker 33 So, you know, if he wants to move on from sessions to Giuliani, I think that's essentially his call.

Speaker 33 I agree. You know, you could, you might not like the reasoning for it, but I mean, really, that's totally him doing whatever he wants.

Speaker 143 The optics are bad, too.

Speaker 9 Yeah, the optics are bad.

Speaker 20 It's got to be, it'll be another beating for him.

Speaker 43 It's like hiring an ally, though.

Speaker 33 It's a different type of, like, it's not good in that, like, you figure he probably shouldn't have hired the guy if he didn't want him for longer than six months. Yeah.

Speaker 33 I mean, like, I read a story today that actually said,

Speaker 33 Priebus is looking like he's on his way out. However, Priebus hopes to make it to the end of the year.

Speaker 72 Like, that was his like upside. He was hoping to make it to the end of the year.

Speaker 164 It's just not.

Speaker 23 He's thinking about it. The loyalty here is very low.

Speaker 57 I mean, when you look at Jeff Sessions, he was loyal

Speaker 71 to Donald Trump all the way and really risked a lot.

Speaker 61 for Donald Trump.

Speaker 38 And, you know, it's, I read something about Bannon wanting to take on Kushner early on.

Speaker 86 And I'm like, you're a fool, man.

Speaker 61 I mean,

Speaker 75 that's family 101.

Speaker 21 You think he's going to believe you over family?

Speaker 16 He's going to choose you over family?

Speaker 61 No.

Speaker 19 Nobody would do that unless the family is really wrong.

Speaker 108 But Kushner's pretty smart.

Speaker 133 He's really smart.

Speaker 111 I mean, that's just, that's just Russian roulette that you're playing.

Speaker 91 But

Speaker 96 Sessions is not.

Speaker 103 Have you heard Sessions in the anti-Kushner Klan?

Speaker 33 You know, the way it's presented in the media, you never, you know, never from these internal circles, but that there are essentially, there's been three groups, and they say three and three B is another one.

Speaker 33 But you've got the Kushner side, you've got the, which is, they call it the New York group, the

Speaker 33 Bannon side, which is sort of that, you know, you know, we're the Bannon side,

Speaker 33 the nationalist front, and then you have the

Speaker 33 establishment Washington-type type people who have been there and have joined the crusade as well.

Speaker 33 And then you kind of, Pence is the only one that I've ever seen separated out of those three groups, which is kind of he's there doing his own thing and has been very loyal to the president, but of course we all know believes kind of different things than the president, but has supported his agenda without fail, even behind closed doors, reportedly.

Speaker 33 The issue with those three groups, though, is the Washington one has kind of, I mean, you look at that group, you have Priebus, which kind of has folded in with the banned side.

Speaker 33 You have Spicer, who's now gone. So that group seems to have lost power, and it becomes the Bannon versus the Kushner group.
And in that group, so far, Kushner is winning. Can you imagine?

Speaker 148 I don't care who is in charge.

Speaker 29 I don't care who the president is.

Speaker 82 Can you imagine working in a building like the White House where you think your office politics suck?

Speaker 43 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 76 Can you even imagine what that is like?

Speaker 2 No

Speaker 39 way.

Speaker 19 That's brutal. No way.

Speaker 6 People are jocking now where they are bringing the president, you know, tweets and things that

Speaker 65 they think he'll like

Speaker 6 because they're jockeying for position.

Speaker 12 And others are like, don't bring that to the president because he'll respond to that and that will cause more problems, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 37 You imagine the weasels that are at that level.

Speaker 33 Yeah, the standard way it's reported is, oh, Donald Trump is sitting around obsessing about these television shows and something happens on Fox and Friends or Morning Joe and 10 minutes later he's tweeting the exact same thing.

Speaker 33 That may happen sometimes. We do know that he likes watching shows.
However,

Speaker 33 the reporting from inside the White House is that there are people who know to get on Don's good side, you bring him the good, juicy stuff from the shows.

Speaker 33 So even when he doesn't see it, there are people there egging him on and they bring the worst part of Morning Joe or the worst part or the part on Fox and Friends that has the...

Speaker 22 Whatever's going to excite him or ignite him.

Speaker 72 One of the two.

Speaker 33 So then he he tweets about it which in a way is worse because he hasn't even seen it for himself right and so he's kind of tweeting on someone else's word but then he gets excited about it tweets about it and that's what starts these firestorms but again from an internal well it doesn't sound sensible if you're trying to make the best thing for the for the administration but from the inside if if the president is happy with you you're going to continue you're you're incentivized to continue to do those sorts of things oh my gosh it's tough i mean i can't imagine that world watch any of that i mean really is it is it any different than Game of Thrones?

Speaker 23 I mean, other than, you know...

Speaker 33 Slightly less sex and violence.

Speaker 69 A lot less sex and violence, but I mean, unless it's the Clinton administration.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 89 I mean, it's this Game of Thrones. Nothing much has changed.

Speaker 3 We just put suits and ties on.

Speaker 32 And now this.

Speaker 38 We have to prepare for what happens the moment after the shooting.

Speaker 148 God forbid any of us ever have to pull our gun, let alone use it.

Speaker 57 But if you do, who's protecting you?

Speaker 91 There's a couple of things that you should be aware of.

Speaker 3 The Swedish alt-right,

Speaker 37 the Swedish Nazis, if you will, trained in Russia.

Speaker 22 They were taken to Russia, and Russia, paramilitary people

Speaker 8 who are

Speaker 74 training and learning how to turn the Ukraine, are now starting to take people in from all over Europe, including these Nazis now

Speaker 76 in

Speaker 76 Sweden.

Speaker 86 and

Speaker 138 training them on how to be terrorists.

Speaker 77 And they are now starting to blow things up in Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Speaker 91 These Nazis had taken

Speaker 29 an asylum camp, if you will, and blown it up.

Speaker 23 Bad.

Speaker 54 So another reason why not to trust Russia.

Speaker 168 They are siding with all of the worst players and characters on the planet.

Speaker 22 Then there's this.

Speaker 3 Pentagon is developing something with DARPA, developing technology that allows the next generation of soldiers to fire their weapons with their minds.

Speaker 3 They believe that mind-technology relationship that underpins the use of artificial limbs might help human soldiers fire their guns quicker.

Speaker 64 So here's what it is.

Speaker 91 The mind makes a decision, good guy, bad guy, fire the gun.

Speaker 41 Mind makes a decision, brain puts it into action, sends the signal, squeeze the trigger.

Speaker 56 they're saying that's not fast enough so what they're trying to do is come up with artificial ways to read the mind and get fire the gun to the gun faster than your body can

Speaker 33 it's kind of like eliminating the check swing possibility which seems like not necessarily a positive You kind of want that half split second to be able to reconsider what you're doing.

Speaker 52 I mean, we're really not.

Speaker 91 I mean, how many times have you made a split-second decision and it was wrong?

Speaker 86 Think of this.

Speaker 91 Cops have to make a split-second decision.

Speaker 91 How many times have they made a decision that went, stop?

Speaker 91 How many times has that second killed them, but that second also saved them?

Speaker 33 I would love to see the legal proceedings afterwards when the mind fires a bullet. The cop says he didn't want to shoot.

Speaker 33 The mind fires a bullet. It wounds up turning out wrong for whatever reason.
The person wasn't armed, whatever.

Speaker 33 Lawsuits occur.

Speaker 33 I thought about it, but I didn't want to actually fire at that time. I mean,

Speaker 71 how could you?

Speaker 38 How are you even responsible?

Speaker 134 Aren't you more machine?

Speaker 33 Will we at least be dead of old age before this happens?

Speaker 59 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 61 Oh, my gosh. I mean, it's just.

Speaker 33 I got kids. Let them deal with this sort of crap.

Speaker 31 Didn't we see where this road leads us in the documentary RoboCop? I mean, it seems pretty clear in that movie that it's problematic.

Speaker 33 This is is about a robotic man police officer, correct?

Speaker 30 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 29 Great documentary.

Speaker 102 I saw a preview for a new documentary called Blade Runner.

Speaker 72 Oh, yes.

Speaker 109 Does that look great?

Speaker 31 Blade Runner 2049, I think it is.

Speaker 72 Oh, my gosh, that looks so good. It looks awesome.

Speaker 18 That's a movie.

Speaker 22 It's not a documentary, a moron.

Speaker 119 Oh, ridiculous.

Speaker 23 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 43 I'm sorry, I forgot.

Speaker 22 But I am going to that documentary this weekend.

Speaker 57 Nuclear woman.

Speaker 126 Oh, nuclear burnette.

Speaker 68 It's called.

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 152 No, Atomic Blonde.

Speaker 43 Yes, that's what it is.

Speaker 107 I can barely remember the name or the look of that blonde.

Speaker 33 America's United in its support of Atomic Blonde this weekend. We're all very excited about it.

Speaker 33 I mean, just from a film, I'm just interested in the film. As a filmmaker,

Speaker 41 I own my own studio.

Speaker 98 As a filmmaker, I have movies I must see.

Speaker 32 And this is one of them.

Speaker 33 I am 100% on board.

Speaker 22 You have your special theater for that one as well? No, I'll take any theater.

Speaker 154 It was not my special theater.

Speaker 38 It was Stu's special theater, which I mocked before I saw Dunkirk in it.

Speaker 96 If you're around an Atmos, a Dolby Atmos 70 millimeter screen,

Speaker 3 go see Dunkirk in that.

Speaker 22 It's unbelievable.

Speaker 33 Unbelievable. Something tells me they're going to keep Dunkirk in those theaters this weekend and not put Atomic Blonde in them.

Speaker 33 But that's the only reason I will not be seeing in the 70mm theater this week.

Speaker 90 Oh Oh my gosh,

Speaker 32 oh a terrible decision by them 70 millimeter

Speaker 69 that particular atomic specimen, not the blonde, I don't care about the blonde, but that atomic specimen in a 70 millimeter hadn't thought of that.

Speaker 90 Yeah, that's nice, that's nice, yeah.

Speaker 70 Okay, all right, gonna take a quick shower.

Speaker 23 We'll come back in a minute.

Speaker 23 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 115 888-727-Beck.

Speaker 21 So when does, when does,

Speaker 18 I'm sorry,

Speaker 62 Blade Runner come out?

Speaker 17 I think October.

Speaker 43 That looks so unbelievably good.

Speaker 158 And Harrison Ford's in it.

Speaker 112 At 89, early 90s.

Speaker 71 No, seriously, he's like 70.

Speaker 66 Early hundreds?

Speaker 31 No, he's way over 70, isn't he?

Speaker 85 75?

Speaker 31 Yeah, probably in there. between 70 and 75, I would say.

Speaker 22 You know, I was thinking about Elton John this weekend. I don't know why.

Speaker 62 I was listening to Elton John's song, and I thought, how old is he?

Speaker 37 He's going to be probably the first guy to die a natural death

Speaker 41 that I grew up really listening to, being a fan of his, really being he was my era.

Speaker 33 Now, do you know what kind of death Elton John is going to succumb to?

Speaker 67 Plain.

Speaker 23 No, uh-uh.

Speaker 161 No,

Speaker 10 no, I don't.

Speaker 20 But I'm not saying that he's going to die

Speaker 82 now.

Speaker 64 But who else is there that was in

Speaker 60 your childhood that has been going on, the Beatles, Paul McCartney?

Speaker 65 He's before me.

Speaker 38 So he's not my generation.

Speaker 49 Before us,

Speaker 50 Elton John, Billy Joel, kind of my generation.

Speaker 31 Well, I mean, George Michael's kind of in that generation.

Speaker 106 He's gone.

Speaker 54 No, but he's not a guy that I grew up with.

Speaker 143 Elton's 70.

Speaker 19 And that wasn't a regular, that wasn't

Speaker 22 a normal death. That was a drug overdose.

Speaker 86 Elton John's only 70? Yeah.

Speaker 143 Harrison Ford is 74.

Speaker 8 Wow.

Speaker 164 I know.

Speaker 17 Wow. Harrison Ford, 74?

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 107 He'll be another guy when he dies.

Speaker 93 Harrison Ford, a guy that I grew up watching movies.

Speaker 59 I saw

Speaker 72 Valerian.

Speaker 31 Oh, yeah, the city of a thousand planets or whatever.

Speaker 23 I bet they were hurting.

Speaker 71 It is terrific.

Speaker 37 It's two hours of a thousand deaths.

Speaker 23 No.

Speaker 31 I don't know what it is, but I love sci-fi movies like that, but that looks like it's terrible.

Speaker 74 It is everything you think it is and more.

Speaker 23 Wow. It is awful.

Speaker 33 It costs them $209 million.

Speaker 7 Oh, it's going to cost them more than that.

Speaker 23 These people won't work again.

Speaker 118 Yeah, it only made $17.

Speaker 31 Yeah, it's going to be, it's set up to be one of the bigger box office bombs of all time. Just $17 million this weekend, and it's going to go down a lot from there if it's bad.

Speaker 19 And if you missed the movie review earlier of Dunkirk,

Speaker 17 really, really good, really worth seeing.

Speaker 49 Really, really good.

Speaker 149 Although Glenn blew it, it apparently had us a war scene.

Speaker 70 Totally. Spoiler alert.

Speaker 7 The British lose.

Speaker 109 Oh,

Speaker 2 my gosh.

Speaker 93 Oh, boy.

Speaker 33 That's giving away way too much.

Speaker 70 All right.

Speaker 99 Let me give you

Speaker 60 an entrance examination for the University of Illinois 1922.

Speaker 41 Just, I'm going to give you five questions.

Speaker 88 See if anyone can answer answer any of these five questions.

Speaker 41 Describe the conditions causing Achilles to stop fighting.

Speaker 118 You get shot, and then it's usually taking a step the wrong way.

Speaker 16 His heel, right?

Speaker 43 Yeah, his Achilles tendon.

Speaker 106 Yeah, his tendon was cut.

Speaker 83 You'll need his

Speaker 33 reconstructive surgery.

Speaker 22 Okay,

Speaker 22 out for the rest of the season.

Speaker 31 Easily out for the season, yeah.

Speaker 45 What was Franklin's plan for the union of the colonies?

Speaker 41 Discuss his arguments in favor of it.

Speaker 121 It's 1922.

Speaker 80 Discuss Benjamin Franklin's plan for the union of the colonies.

Speaker 32 Discuss his arguments in favor of it.

Speaker 82 I have no idea.

Speaker 71 His plan was

Speaker 5 a republic, right?

Speaker 33 And like lightning struck a key.

Speaker 63 How about this one?

Speaker 60 Maybe his plan came from that Indian chief that said, you know, bind them together and they're strong.

Speaker 70 Maybe? That's as close as I can get.

Speaker 39 Maybe.

Speaker 33 The snake?

Speaker 53 Yeah, the union.

Speaker 118 And then you have a Duran Duran song.

Speaker 113 Union of the Snake is on the rise.

Speaker 37 Yeah, so that could be it too.

Speaker 41 That could be it, too.

Speaker 22 I don't think any of these are right, but Join or Die?

Speaker 23 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 137 What characters in a Midsummer Night's Dream are more than mere types?

Speaker 94 Defend your answer.

Speaker 31 I'm not, I can't, I don't do Shakespeare.

Speaker 118 Whoa. I'd have to tell him that.

Speaker 113 I don't know.

Speaker 33 I think probably the clarifying thing is Shakespeare's dumb. So don't ask me about it again is how I would answer that.

Speaker 31 When that's relevant to my life, I'll let you know.

Speaker 66 Summarize.

Speaker 43 Oh, it is.

Speaker 19 Summarize the chief ideas you gained from reading one of Thackeray's essays in the English humorist. Yeah,

Speaker 43 I forgot to read the Thackeray.

Speaker 65 Point out four distinctly poesque characteristics marking the raven.

Speaker 33 Now you should be able to nail this as a family.

Speaker 23 I think I could do that.

Speaker 128 Maybe.

Speaker 18 Maybe I could do that.

Speaker 164 You used the word quoth.

Speaker 23 Quoth. Quoth.

Speaker 29 No, I don't think that is one of them. No?

Speaker 10 Okay. So

Speaker 48 those are just five of them.

Speaker 13 What does that tell you?

Speaker 33 We have different priorities.

Speaker 30 They study different things, that's for sure.

Speaker 92 So now, actually,

Speaker 3 here's what's interesting.

Speaker 12 Annie Holmquist

Speaker 50 wrote

Speaker 37 an article about these five questions.

Speaker 32 And she said, one might argue that just because today's entrance exam don't ask us thorough or probing questions doesn't mean that high school students are not familiar with a wide range of classic and historical works.

Speaker 32 Unfortunately, the experience of university professors such as Alan Bloom suggests otherwise.

Speaker 93 In 1987, Bloom wrote that the decline of student reading habits first became evident in the 1960s.

Speaker 29 He notes that while many, there may have been a few who grazed on the classics in high school, the notion of books as companions is foreign to them.

Speaker 161 Lacking in this knowledge, students will also have a much narrower lens to which to view the world and interpret it.

Speaker 31 That makes sense because there were so many other things to entertain people by then, right? Yeah. I mean, in 1920, your entertainment was a book.

Speaker 95 Correct. Not anymore.

Speaker 111 Students today have nothing like the characters that Dickens gave, which sharpened our vision, allowing us some subtlety in our distinction of human types.

Speaker 31 No, they're forgetting about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets there.

Speaker 31 It's not taking that into account.

Speaker 41 It is a complex set of experiences that enables one to so simply say he's a Scrooge.

Speaker 38 Without literature, no such observations are possible and the fine art of comparison is lost.

Speaker 3 The psychological obtruseness of our students is appalling because they only have pop psychology.

Speaker 57 Listen to this, because they only have pop psychology to tell them what people are like and a range of their motives.

Speaker 140 As awareness that we owed almost exclusively to literary genius falters, people become more alike for want of knowing that they can be otherwise.

Speaker 14 What poor substitutes for real diversity are the wild rainbows of dyed hair and other external differences that tell the observer nothing about what is inside that matters.

Speaker 71 It's pretty insightful.

Speaker 17 That's really good.

Speaker 90 That's really good.

Speaker 17 Try to get your kids to read

Speaker 17 a classic.

Speaker 30 Try.

Speaker 150 Almost impossible. Almost impossible.

Speaker 114 Trying to get them to read something that was written a hundred years ago is

Speaker 64 it's so slow for them.

Speaker 80 They want action.

Speaker 125 They want, okay, get to a story.

Speaker 110 They don't sit well through the descriptions of what the room looked like,

Speaker 32 what the people look like, what, you know, they just want, give me the meat, give me the meat, give me the meat, tell me the story.

Speaker 6 Tried to get Rafe to read Dr.

Speaker 148 Jekyll and Mr.

Speaker 67 Hyde all summer long.

Speaker 49 Couldn't get him to read it.

Speaker 98 Went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a comic book, a graphic novel on Dr.

Speaker 124 Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Speaker 29 Got one of Dracula and Frankenstein as well.

Speaker 3 Have you guys ever read Frankenstein?

Speaker 113 No.

Speaker 85 It is nothing like the movie.

Speaker 61 Nothing like the movie.

Speaker 113 And I've been trying to... to.

Speaker 31 He's not even a monster, is he? He's not even a monster in the world.

Speaker 68 Actually, he's an accountant. He's a florist.

Speaker 115 He's an accountant.

Speaker 76 He's a florist. He's an accountant.

Speaker 43 And the doctor,

Speaker 37 he's a doctor.

Speaker 86 He's an accountant and a vet.

Speaker 52 And he finds a mouse.

Speaker 43 And

Speaker 15 the mouse has a broken leg and he sets it and he says, let my creature live for no reason, really, at all.

Speaker 109 It's a really weird.

Speaker 109 Yeah, anyway.

Speaker 42 So try to get him to read it.

Speaker 90 Would not.

Speaker 58 Get those comic books for him.

Speaker 38 He reads them, and he came back to me today.

Speaker 98 He came back to me a couple of months ago and said, Dad,

Speaker 106 Frankenstein is nothing.

Speaker 23 And I wanted to go, oldie?

Speaker 56 I think I've been saying that.

Speaker 43 But I was like, huh, not like it at all.

Speaker 29 He's like, we have got to read Frankenstein.

Speaker 115 Huh?

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Yes, we should.

Speaker 37 Good idea, son.

Speaker 6 We have to find ways to get our kids to look deeper and to go back into.

Speaker 41 I mean, who was it?

Speaker 22 The Pendlette's good friend, Christopher Hitchens, who just died, the atheist?

Speaker 90 Several years ago, several years ago.

Speaker 30 Several years ago.

Speaker 92 But what he said was

Speaker 116 in defense of the Bible, he said, if you want to understand the West, if you want to understand Shakespeare, you must understand the Bible.

Speaker 65 The Bible should be read just as

Speaker 37 literature because it is the basis of everything in the West.

Speaker 31 And certainly the U.S. Constitution.

Speaker 23 Right. Everything comes from them.

Speaker 43 Yeah.

Speaker 31 So you don't know. Whether you like it or not.

Speaker 37 He suggested that

Speaker 38 it should be the number one thing taught for literature.

Speaker 99 Here's a guy who

Speaker 89 disagrees with every word in the Bible.

Speaker 37 But he's like, that is the basis.

Speaker 51 That's the stock of the West.

Speaker 103 And unless you understand that stock, how do you read classics?

Speaker 64 How do you read Shakespeare?

Speaker 31 That's amazing coming from from a devout atheist like he was.

Speaker 45 And if you don't understand Shakespeare, how do you really understand

Speaker 38 the West and England and

Speaker 61 war and

Speaker 50 what the lessons are behind Macbeth and

Speaker 23 a lot of his work?

Speaker 31 And that battle is you're losing, right?

Speaker 33 It's not just with your son. It's with everyone.
Every person.

Speaker 33 Did you see Jeffrey Katzenberg, who's former DreamWorks executive, is raising two billion dollars to put hollywood style budgets sets actors scripts everything into new 10 minute episodes of television so you you think of all the money that they're they're putting into tv already they want to focus that to 10 minutes because they think people aren't watching half an hour and an hour episodes or they won't be as much in the future this will be a better way to deliver shows 10 minutes well that i mean that's what uh that's what the all the youtubers are doing right they create uh 10 15 minute youtube clips, post them.

Speaker 143 That's what everybody's watching. That's true.

Speaker 22 In some ways,

Speaker 91 we'll be talking about this in September.

Speaker 76 And in some regards, we're moving the same way here.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 22 We're moving the same way here.

Speaker 33 That the Ben Sasse book we talked to him about a few weeks ago, a lot of that is about actually reading.

Speaker 95 Reading.

Speaker 33 Here's a giant list of books for you to read. Here is like, we need to go back to these times because you're right, it's a deeper education.

Speaker 33 And it's weird because being intelligent is something that used to be reflected in questions like that. Explain the, you know, explain this.
Explain this. Here's a fact.

Speaker 33 It's a test. And really, we've, in a way, our minds because of Google have evolved to that's not really what it is anymore.

Speaker 140 Has anybody, have you guys heard anybody say that the third planet of the apes is

Speaker 41 is the story of Moses?

Speaker 122 Yes.

Speaker 43 Have you?

Speaker 22 Are you Just me? Have you heard it from somebody else?

Speaker 161 Yes.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 91 I had not heard that before, and I whispered that to my son, and my son said, Of course it is, Dad.

Speaker 10 Hello.

Speaker 108 And we've had several conversations on that.

Speaker 120 You don't even have to believe the Bible.

Speaker 31 I hope you grounded him for that disrespectful attitude.

Speaker 22 Yeah, what do you call him?

Speaker 41 Moses a monkey? Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 53 Yeah, no, he's in his.

Speaker 35 Race back compares monkey to Moses.

Speaker 33 He should have done a new media matters release on that.

Speaker 16 Don't worry.

Speaker 106 He's in his godcage.

Speaker 31 And treating you as if you're stupid.

Speaker 112 I mean,

Speaker 116 where does he get off?

Speaker 3 Right, exactly right.

Speaker 29 God cage for him.

Speaker 68 Anyway, it's in his closet.

Speaker 45 You know, he would not have been able to have a different understanding

Speaker 8 of

Speaker 32 what was happening.

Speaker 79 He would have had no comparisons to Planet of the Apes.

Speaker 41 It just would have been an ape

Speaker 38 movie.

Speaker 141 Instead, it became, oh my gosh, look at the pattern here.

Speaker 135 Look at the pattern of Moses.

Speaker 141 Look at the pattern of the people.

Speaker 41 Look at what happened. Is this deliverance?

Speaker 82 Those kinds of things are important, and we're losing all of that.

Speaker 91 Okay, so if you saw Dunkirk, I will not spoil anything, but there is a pilot that lands on the beach

Speaker 41 and it's a pretty amazing moment.

Speaker 7 And I wondered, is this true at all?

Speaker 168 And it apparently is based or closely resembles Alan Christopher.

Speaker 29 He was known as Al Deere at the time.

Speaker 41 He was from New Zealand.

Speaker 65 He flew a Spitfire.

Speaker 92 It was very similar to this, except his tail was hit by

Speaker 45 a rear gunner of a German plane.

Speaker 69 And so this scene is very similar.

Speaker 38 I won't give any more, other than he lands on the beach, and it's apparently his story that they took, he had a gash on his face.

Speaker 43 That's kind of true.

Speaker 91 Gash on his face.

Speaker 22 And when a woman from the mole, the beach, ran out to help him, stitched him back up, got him onto a boat.

Speaker 84 When he was getting onto the boat, she heard people say, where the hell were you?

Speaker 73 Because he was a pilot.

Speaker 32 So there's some

Speaker 93 interesting things.

Speaker 23 It happened.

Speaker 85 It did happen, not the way it does in the movie.

Speaker 31 And where the hell he was was where he should have been. Yeah.
Saved a lot of lives. Yeah,

Speaker 41 pretty amazing stuff.

Speaker 143 So much for having to see the movie.

Speaker 43 Yeah, no.

Speaker 23 And

Speaker 41 the Germans actually beat the

Speaker 102 English and the French right there on the beach.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 71 Yeah. Thanks.

Speaker 69 And they send boats to get the guys.

Speaker 4 Okay, stop, stop.

Speaker 23 I didn't mean to spoil it.

Speaker 23 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 1 The Blaze Radio Network

Speaker 1 on demand

Speaker 109 Hello, hello, America.

Speaker 78 You haven't lived until you've heard Pat's weekend.

Speaker 4 Pat had to watch the Twilight.

Speaker 11 He's avoided it for all these years, the Twilight trilogy with his wife.

Speaker 114 Actually, there's two more.

Speaker 164 Yeah, 24. There's two.
I mean, there's two. There's five.

Speaker 72 There's five. What the hell?

Speaker 10 Shut your mouth on that.

Speaker 23 No.

Speaker 2 Sorry.

Speaker 23 Shut up.

Speaker 159 What do you mean?

Speaker 18 There's five. No, there's not.
There's three. There's four.

Speaker 161 There's the three.

Speaker 22 No, there's the three.

Speaker 6 There's the trilogy.

Speaker 133 And we will discuss this no more.

Speaker 71 Also,

Speaker 79 also, a way to figure out the media.

Speaker 4 Unfortunately, we have to figure out ourselves at the same time.

Speaker 22 We do that right now.

Speaker 22 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 26 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 4 Don't start.

Speaker 97 Don't start.

Speaker 11 I forgot that they cut it into.

Speaker 7 I forgot they cut the last one into two movies.

Speaker 164 So yeah, there were going to be four.

Speaker 112 And then

Speaker 23 it was too meaty, so they had to split it in two.

Speaker 122 They're going to make two more movies.

Speaker 23 Oh, it was so obnoxious.

Speaker 99 That is the only good theater experience I ever had in New York City.

Speaker 14 Every time I went to the movies in New York City, it was bad.

Speaker 99 And this time I was sitting next, there was a guy who, if he knew who I was,

Speaker 132 he put his hatred of that series over his hatred for me.

Speaker 64 And that was saying something in New York.

Speaker 70 No doubt.

Speaker 133 And I was sitting in the theater, and there was only one seat.

Speaker 69 There was a seat between us.

Speaker 22 And every guy in there walked in like a zombie with their wife or their girlfriend.

Speaker 41 And I'm sitting next to this guy.

Speaker 121 I'm sitting next to this guy.

Speaker 88 And at some point, I just look

Speaker 50 really bad.

Speaker 74 And I just look over at him, and he looks over at me, and he went right

Speaker 72 and

Speaker 57 said, I can't take it.

Speaker 91 He said, How much longer is this?

Speaker 80 I don't know.

Speaker 56 And then our wives both poked us, jabbed us, and we sat there like dutiful husbands watching it.

Speaker 99 I don't know how you a got away with not seeing it for this long.

Speaker 72 And then got roped into watching it with her all weekend.

Speaker 31 That's a weird phenomenon. My wife's always been opposed to this series.

Speaker 118 Yeah. And we've

Speaker 23 tried to scare our kids away from it.

Speaker 47 Yeah, because of the vampire thing.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 40 But The Undead.

Speaker 31 She was in Utah for eight days, and her best friend is a huge Twilight fan. And so she finally succumbed to watching it.

Speaker 31 And so after the first one the other night, after Twilight, we watched the whole thing, and I keep my mouth shut because I didn't want to ruin the experience because it's a quality one.

Speaker 160 At the end of the movie, I stand up and say,

Speaker 31 wow, that is worse than I ever thought it could be.

Speaker 5 Was that the biggest piece of trash?

Speaker 117 The dialogue is horrific. The acting sucks.

Speaker 119 And she's like, I loved it.

Speaker 118 And at that point, I lost all respect for her.

Speaker 72 You're doomed right there. Yes.

Speaker 43 Wow.

Speaker 43 Wow. It was, I mean.

Speaker 72 So am I to understand, Glenn Beck, that you have seen all of them?

Speaker 152 No, I have. I forgot.

Speaker 7 I thought it was the trilogy, but I forgot there were four books.

Speaker 2 Okay, because I'll let you know.

Speaker 23 And they cut the last five books. Not the movies.

Speaker 72 No, no, no.

Speaker 40 No, believe me.

Speaker 23 She has watched them on her own since.

Speaker 34 Like, what are you doing?

Speaker 129 Watching Twilight.

Speaker 38 Oh, dear God. I'm gone.

Speaker 22 I have to mow the lawn of the neighbors for the next three days.

Speaker 31 And I guess, you know, the experience, maybe it clouds women's judgment because Taylor Lautner, whatever his name is, is half naked the whole time.

Speaker 23 He's not the only one.

Speaker 118 I know. I know.
I know.

Speaker 95 But it's,

Speaker 66 stop.

Speaker 41 I didn't notice a difference between the naked men and the naked women.

Speaker 60 I don't notice those.

Speaker 160 There were no naked women.

Speaker 164 I mean,

Speaker 36 it doesn't matter.

Speaker 133 Naked men, naked women, they're all the same to me.

Speaker 23 It's all okay.

Speaker 43 It's all okay.

Speaker 59 Oh, all right.

Speaker 102 So I am both attracted and not attracted to naked women and naked men.

Speaker 18 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 117 I don't see them as objects or people even.

Speaker 71 That's very enlightened and forward thinking.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Sure is.

Speaker 41 I'm not in with your cisgender nonsense.

Speaker 33 Gender normative standards. Is that what you're trying to do?

Speaker 64 Gender normative standards.

Speaker 86 I won't hear of it, Pat.

Speaker 31 I have movie normative standards too, and this didn't fit them. This did not rise to them.

Speaker 43 No.

Speaker 35 You know, it could be said that, you know, that we're all escaping on the weekend.

Speaker 43 Could be said that. It could be said that.

Speaker 99 Because this is, I mean, I rarely do double features.

Speaker 32 And I've done a couple of weekends of double features in a row.

Speaker 93 Yeah, last weekend we were escaping.

Speaker 106 What was it last weekend?

Speaker 23 I don't remember. There were two big ones.
And by the way, I have to tell you,

Speaker 133 everybody says, you know, there's not a lot of good movies.

Speaker 147 I think there are a lot of good movies.

Speaker 85 I think Dunkirk is a good movie.

Speaker 23 I know you like almost everything you've seen.

Speaker 164 It's been good.

Speaker 10 Not everything, but I mean.

Speaker 143 Well, you've seen two movies that you said were the greatest movies of all time. Dunkirk.

Speaker 32 No, I said it was a masterpiece, and I stand by that.

Speaker 66 And Galaxy Peace.

Speaker 68 Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which I thought was great.

Speaker 80 I thought it was a mess.

Speaker 23 I was a mess.

Speaker 68 It was a mess.

Speaker 80 I loved it. Yeah.

Speaker 13 But Dunkirk, we agree on.

Speaker 31 That's a good movie.

Speaker 33 Great movie. You have many positive attributes, and then also movie reviews.

Speaker 34 All right.

Speaker 76 I happen to agree with Pat on Twilight.

Speaker 31 That's true. I'm glad to hear that.

Speaker 72 I am really glad to hear that.

Speaker 33 I would say Pat is in a much better arguing position here. You, my friend, were not only excited about the movies, you were telling us about the books before the movies came out.

Speaker 22 I thought the Twilight series was a great series of books.

Speaker 64 And then you excitedly

Speaker 33 went to the theater and were excited about it. Pat was forced into it by marriage.

Speaker 119 12.

Speaker 119 And he fought it the whole way.

Speaker 158 You were thrilled about going to see it.

Speaker 66 So Pat is much more in the clear here.

Speaker 51 No, I have a much more credible

Speaker 40 movie review then.

Speaker 13 Because I liked the books.

Speaker 41 I wanted to see the movie.

Speaker 133 And then I saw the movie.

Speaker 31 And I was like, holy mother of everything that is good and sacred, please take me now and you talk about a dumb storyline i mean stephanie meyer gets all this credit for an incredible that that is the dumbest story

Speaker 43 maybe ever written i like it i like it

Speaker 5 i i like the book i like the book did you ever have you ever first of all vampires can't go out in the sun we all know that they don't just glisten in the sun they died

Speaker 23 they burned to death how who are you to be the end all and be all

Speaker 112 seen a lot of vampire movies, and I know what's right and what's not.

Speaker 116 Have you? Yes.

Speaker 133 Tell me about Nasferatu.

Speaker 112 What about him?

Speaker 64 Tell me about what happens to him.

Speaker 43 He gets really old.

Speaker 164 He bites people.

Speaker 22 So I no longer believe you as an authority on vampirism.

Speaker 22 Do you see the,

Speaker 18 I did an interview with John Ziegler from

Speaker 13 Mediite and his podcast.

Speaker 32 I think Ziegler is one of the more honest people in the media,

Speaker 43 almost to a fault.

Speaker 51 He just does not care

Speaker 40 and have

Speaker 130 every belief in me that at some point we'll do something that he doesn't like and he'll say that we're the worst human beings of all time

Speaker 71 on that issue.

Speaker 41 But so I did an interview with him this weekend and I thought it was a good interview.

Speaker 116 And

Speaker 51 he wrote something last night.

Speaker 32 In my rather strange media career, I've had the chance to do interviews with some rather high-profile newsmakers and some sticky situations.

Speaker 138 While my weekend podcast discussion with conservative libertarian talk show host Glenn Beck was not the most publicized that I've ever done, it may have been the most fascinating and important.

Speaker 60 If you care even a little bit about our dysfunctional media machinery and broken national dialogue, I urge you to listen to all 40 minutes of it.

Speaker 42 If you do, you'll be way ahead of many of those who commented on it.

Speaker 104 This is what I want to concentrate on.

Speaker 91 You should listen to the podcast.

Speaker 22 John has some really good questions, some really good answers in it.

Speaker 28 But if

Speaker 48 what I'm fascinated by is how the media portrayed this, how the headlines changed.

Speaker 91 For instance,

Speaker 107 one headline was

Speaker 75 misleading, Beck takes on the right,

Speaker 106 or no,

Speaker 14 it was the most, it was like

Speaker 31 Beck talks to Trump, I think.

Speaker 97 Or talks about Trump.

Speaker 151 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 38 And then the next one was, Beck takes on Trump.

Speaker 20 Then the next headline was, Beck talks trash about Trump.

Speaker 146 I mean, it just, it just spirals.

Speaker 42 And if you read the comments,

Speaker 42 they don't even read or listen to the first source.

Speaker 79 They have no idea what they're talking about.

Speaker 19 So I just wanted to show you

Speaker 27 the opposite of the headlines that you're reading, that Beck takes on Trump.

Speaker 137 Listen to his questions and the beginnings of my answers.

Speaker 170 How would you grade Trump after six months in comparison to what you had anticipated or feared?

Speaker 145 Let me say this, that I think we have an extraordinary opportunity right now

Speaker 145 to

Speaker 145 get Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan out of leadership. They have been a disaster.

Speaker 145 They can't get anything passed because

Speaker 145 what they're trying to pass has nothing to do with conservative values or the conservative movement or actually even helping people.

Speaker 23 Seems like you didn't even mention Trump.

Speaker 30 You didn't mention Trump there.

Speaker 116 Okay, is there any other examples of that?

Speaker 170 Who or what surprised you most about how specifically the conservative media has dealt with Trump from the beginning of this odyssey until today?

Speaker 145 I would say

Speaker 145 in an unflattering way, I would say me.

Speaker 115 Really?

Speaker 40 So now you need to skip to the next one.

Speaker 10 What is this one about?

Speaker 111 This one is about the other headline that ran, first, Beck takes on Trump.

Speaker 65 Look, we have an incredible opportunity right now that I didn't see coming, and that's getting real tax reform passed if we can get Congress to move.

Speaker 61 Don't even mention him.

Speaker 139 Then the next one is, really, let's get you to take on the right-wing media.

Speaker 64 Who were you disappointed in?

Speaker 10 Answer me.

Speaker 31 Because you didn't read the pain of the audience well enough or the Americans.

Speaker 71 And then he pushes you a little bit further on it.

Speaker 170 Who or what surprised you most about the conservative media with regard to their dealing with Trump?

Speaker 145 Wow, you're just doing yours.

Speaker 171 You're just trying to pin me down, aren't you?

Speaker 33 Look, Glenn, I gave you a wide open there.

Speaker 158 I didn't ask you to who.

Speaker 126 I said who or what.

Speaker 158 So I'm giving you all sorts of options here.

Speaker 2 Okay, so

Speaker 171 I'm just going to go with what, because I think people can make their own conclusions. And

Speaker 145 I just,

Speaker 171 I'm tired of the fighting back and forth, but people can make their own conclusions.

Speaker 23 I mean, so you never

Speaker 112 anybody there.

Speaker 87 So, so here's what, see, here's what I wanted to pull out of this.

Speaker 56 And I was grateful to John for

Speaker 60 an interesting and intelligent conversation.

Speaker 98 They don't happen very often.

Speaker 55 Listen to John Ziegler's podcast.

Speaker 98 You can find it in the links up at my Facebook page or at Glenbeck.com.

Speaker 14 But it was interesting and intelligent.

Speaker 15 So thanks for that.

Speaker 129 Second,

Speaker 103 interesting how

Speaker 88 the headlines that were grabbed, many of them didn't reflect the interview.

Speaker 21 And if they did, they were the least interesting parts of it.

Speaker 32 They were just the bloody meat parts of it um

Speaker 19 and one more step

Speaker 152 look at the comments from people

Speaker 32 on facebook

Speaker 86 look at the comments from people under the stories we say we think that the media is is horrible and they report fake news and we don't know the truth because of them and they'll never report the truth well none of us are either.

Speaker 103 Because if you're commenting on something that you haven't read,

Speaker 73 if you're commenting on something that you haven't listened to,

Speaker 32 let me give you this.

Speaker 64 He writes in this, this is what I posted last night.

Speaker 108 This was hysterical.

Speaker 41 I posted last night, quote, Anyone who's bothered to listen to the whole interview would know that this simply was not even remotely true.

Speaker 82 In fact, I don't think Beck even directly criticized Trump even one time, despite me giving him numerous opportunities to do so.

Speaker 119 It was clear to me that Beck was bending over backwards to give Trump every chance possible to succeed, but while also standing on conservative principles in an effort to keep him and the movement at least somewhat honest.

Speaker 91 In reality, one of the more extraordinary moments in the discussion came when I asked him who or what surprised him most about dot dot dot.

Speaker 86 Okay, so that's what I that's what I post.

Speaker 43 The comments were right, then why'd you stick off your face in the Cheetos?

Speaker 169 Wait.

Speaker 40 These people are obsessed with that bit.

Speaker 23 They really are.

Speaker 25 This really are.

Speaker 40 Glenn Bash Trump repeatedly.

Speaker 119 Okay.

Speaker 111 Mr.

Speaker 7 Beck seems to me like you have a choice of accepting our form of government out of love of your country and can continue to support the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 86 John Ziegler is another liberal hack.

Speaker 109 Liberal.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Blow.

Speaker 132 All Beck and his sidekicks do is try to criticize Trump.

Speaker 129 It goes on and on and on and on.

Speaker 64 They didn't even take the time to realize that this was a quote out of something that had happened that day

Speaker 41 about an interview. So they didn't listen to the interview and they didn't read the story.

Speaker 119 All they saw was Beck Trump Ziegler.

Speaker 18 Yeah. And they went.

Speaker 31 For some people, unless you are saying that Donald Trump is the fourth member of the Godhead.

Speaker 43 Godhood.

Speaker 68 No, but I don't think that's...

Speaker 118 They don't, they're not happy.

Speaker 22 A, I don't think, I don't think it's just, A, it's not just Donald Trump supporters.

Speaker 93 It's all of us.

Speaker 35 It's all of us with our own point of view.

Speaker 41 We see somebody that says anything

Speaker 130 that we think we know what they're talking about because we've put this person in a box.

Speaker 38 We automatically jump to, yeah, well, that guy.

Speaker 135 There's no way to move forward unless we can have actual conversations.

Speaker 22 There's no way to move forward.

Speaker 147 The average person spends 10 seconds per news story.

Speaker 153 So when you're looking at your story on Facebook or however you get your news, The Blaze or Glennbank.com or whatever, the average person only spends 10 seconds per story.

Speaker 136 How can you possibly know what that story is about?

Speaker 115 You can't.

Speaker 61 And we're all spouting off like we know everything, when in reality, all of us know nothing.

Speaker 131 Now this, let me tell you a story about Stephanie.

Speaker 3 Stephanie and her husband made the hard decision to take a transfer that her husband's job offered.

Speaker 22 Well, that meant they had to leave their hometown of 24 years.

Speaker 47 They had to leave their children and their grandchildren.

Speaker 19 Very emotional move.

Speaker 32 Stephanie is a listener to the program. Hi, Steph.

Speaker 19 And she knew that we could help with this emotional move.

Speaker 29 She reached out to realestateagentsitrust.com.

Speaker 131 She left a message.

Speaker 22 She got a return call within the hour. Her agent, Ashley, helped to try to make this a much easier and better experience.

Speaker 29 They prayed together, they laughed together, and Ashley got her home sold.

Speaker 163 The Glenn

Speaker 163 Beck Beck Program.

Speaker 162 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. We are one.

Speaker 26 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 143 Mercury.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck Programme.

Speaker 3 Hello and welcome to the program.

Speaker 54 Some sad news today coming out of London.

Speaker 45 We have a clip of a press conference that Charlie Guard's parents just filed in London.

Speaker 163 Charlie has been left with his illness to deteriorate devastatingly to the point of no return. This has also never been about parents know best.

Speaker 163 All we wanted to do was take Charlie from one world-renowned hospital to another world-renowned hospital in the attempt to save his life and to be treated by the world leader in mitochondrial disease.

Speaker 163 We will have to live with the what-ifs which will haunt us for the rest of our lives.

Speaker 163 Despite the way that our beautiful son has spoken, has been spoken about sometimes as if he is not worthy of a chance at life.

Speaker 163 Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be proud of him

Speaker 159 and we will miss him terribly.

Speaker 159 His body, heart, and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity.

Speaker 163 And he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come. We will make sure of that.

Speaker 163 We are now going to spend our last precious moments with my son Charlie,

Speaker 159 who unfortunately won't make his first birthday

Speaker 163 in just under two weeks' time.

Speaker 114 Wow. Good heavens.
That's just heartbreaking. Gosh.
It is heartbreaking.

Speaker 87 Sad story.

Speaker 54 The case was supposed to be heard again today, but the doctor said because of the delay with the court cases and everything else

Speaker 121 that

Speaker 114 he was no longer fit for any of the procedures.

Speaker 138 And yet, you listen to the father the way he speaks of this proud hospital that doomed his son to death.

Speaker 138 The Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 23 The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 47 Great story from Eric Erickson.

Speaker 22 Which way will conservatives go?

Speaker 65 In the end, Trump will force conservatives to decide if they love the rule of law more than they hate liberals.

Speaker 21 I'm not confident in the outcome.

Speaker 48 That was a tweet by Rod Dreher.

Speaker 68 He said, so Eric writes, I share his lack of confidence in the outcome.

Speaker 38 There is rapidly developing on the right a group of tribalists who think that they have all of the left and they can beat the left and in doing so they'll become more and more each day just like the left consider intersectionalism for a moment you should get comfortable with that term because it is the buzzword of the decade on the left it posits that we must take into account the whole person to determine levels of power and degrees of discrimination so in another words heterosexual Christian white male has maximum power, minimal chances of being discriminated against, while black transgender lesbian has near minimal power and maximum chance of being discriminated against.

Speaker 50 The result is that any black transgender lesbian must be put in a position of power over everyone else and no one can second guess that person without it being their privilege talking.

Speaker 98 It lets loose a lord of the flies atmosphere on the left, now set loose on college campuses.

Speaker 133 A liberal in good standing can soon find herself tied to the post at an academic firing line because she didn't recognize that through

Speaker 147 that though her Hamafris though she's Hamaphrodite and lesbian, she was both an actual genuine white woman.

Speaker 108 Therefore, she has way too much privilege and had no business telling the transgendered Hispanic midget not to talk in class.

Speaker 61 On the right, those in the tribal class of beat the left are no different, though they presently judge themselves

Speaker 99 based on fealty to Trump.

Speaker 65 This person was with Trump from day one, so he must be listened to and respected more than the person who was not with Trump until after South Carolina primary, and both must be treated with greater value than the jackass traitor who only decided to loyally stick to Trump after he became the Republican nominee.

Speaker 86 Their ideas, at this point, inconsequential, and that is wholly reflected in their own candidate's administration.

Speaker 124 The Trump agenda consists of nothing more than rage tweeting against the media and political opponents, says Eric Erickson, which his supporters of the beat the left variety tell us has a secret meeting.

Speaker 153 It's part of a larger plan that we're not smart enough to see, and he fights.

Speaker 85 The alternative is that the rule of law must matter.

Speaker 85 And I think we're rapidly moving to the point where those of us who think it does will be more or less the monks in the monastery keeping vigil around actual truth and knowledge.

Speaker 129 I want you to know Eric is right about this point in our history coming, intersectionalism.

Speaker 102 We are about to hint hit the intersection where we now are going to have to decide whether the rule of law matters

Speaker 41 we've already known that principles don't matter we understand that lies don't matter we don't we understand that corruption doesn't matter whatever it is it doesn't matter as long as it's your side doing it the question is does rule of law matter now listen to this.

Speaker 41 Some of us will see the armed bandits and roving hordes tear down our doors and seek to ruin us, but others will have to carry on until it's safe to come out and show there really is a better way.

Speaker 41 Frankly, that's what churches in America are doing right now.

Speaker 102 tearing down tribal lines with the unity of Christ.

Speaker 89 But there are too many on both sides who have joined up with the tribes and too many congregants, even within still sane churches, who are flirting with the tribes.

Speaker 6 Right now the beat the left Republicans are willing to pass a health care bill that breaks every single promise on the right because the left is upset about it they now think it's a great idea that they will actually fund planned parenthood to get it done.

Speaker 151 They will grow government and fund planned parenthood because the left doesn't like the bill.

Speaker 40 They will also coddle Russia and turn a blind eye to any abuses of power on their own side so long as their own side continues to beat the left.

Speaker 91 The problem is, of course, is that history is somewhat cyclical and politics even more so.

Speaker 102 Just as Barack Obama established the precedents to abuse executive orders that Donald Trump has now grabbed hold of, Donald Trump is establishing precedents the Democrats will soon grab a hold of once they take the White House.

Speaker 132 The beat the left Republicans are so committed to winning, no matter the cost, that they have failed to see and plant their feet upon first rule of fight.

Speaker 136 Nothing in politics is permanent.

Speaker 100 One day, we will find ourselves on the losing side with a beat the right attitude and mob.

Speaker 14 When that Democrat is in the White House, who will marvel and behold the complete collapse of the rule of law, which he can take advantage of?

Speaker 87 If the right is going to surrender the moral high ground and adopt all tactics of the left, they shouldn't be surprised to see the Democrat who comes to power next and what he does,

Speaker 15 if he does what this president claimed he would do, but had the foresight not to do, engage in a politically motivated prosecution of the prior administration.

Speaker 64 So what do we do?

Speaker 10 Now here's interesting.

Speaker 51 As we're getting into this beat the left, beat the left, beat the left, nothing matters.

Speaker 22 Remember, these people are not going away.

Speaker 92 And if the pendulum swings the other way, everything that you said was fair game will be fair game and embraced.

Speaker 22 We're struggling with it now.

Speaker 136 They will embrace it and dance with it.

Speaker 93 You need evidence?

Speaker 51 Let's talk about the re-emergence of Al Gore.

Speaker 34 Notice Al Gore has been missing for, strangely, eight years.

Speaker 111 Now, first year of Republicans, he's strangely back.

Speaker 114 Well, that's really true, isn't it?

Speaker 116 Beating the war drums of global warming.

Speaker 137 Listen.

Speaker 173 Why did you make the prediction at the time, and are you making a new one?

Speaker 137 Right now, the premiere of an inconvenient sequel, Truth to Power, with former Vice President Al Gore.

Speaker 173 So the first question I have for you was the prediction that you made in the first film about reaching the point of no return in 10 years.

Speaker 172 That was back in 2006.

Speaker 173 Looking back on that prediction, why did you make the prediction at the time? And are you making a new one right now given the current circumstances?

Speaker 23 Well, first of all, we've seen a lot of progress since the first movie came out.

Speaker 174 We have the Paris Agreement now.

Speaker 174 The cost of renewable energy has come down so quickly that people are switching over.

Speaker 23 Okay, stop for a second.

Speaker 117 As if.

Speaker 100 The Paris Agreement.

Speaker 147 That's changed.

Speaker 116 That's changed the timeline.

Speaker 23 It just happened.

Speaker 30 It just happened.

Speaker 147 It hasn't even been fully implemented. What are you talking about?

Speaker 31 I mean, that's the first thing you need to do when you're with Al Gore, is to call his BS on that.

Speaker 118 Right.

Speaker 107 And then, wait a minute, hold on just a second.

Speaker 152 And then the price of renewals has come down so far that people are racing towards it?

Speaker 103 No, I don't don't think so.

Speaker 6 And by the way, electric cars.

Speaker 23 What an electric car?

Speaker 40 Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 152 Electricity comes from coal-fire plants.

Speaker 126 I mean, what are you talking about?

Speaker 33 And natural gas is massively expanded as well, which is the only reason emissions have dropped is because we're using a different fossil fuel that has less emissions.

Speaker 13 Which they know has affected the

Speaker 23 climate.

Speaker 59 Yeah, of course not.

Speaker 155 No, of course not.

Speaker 33 He knows that.

Speaker 108 And I mean, the Paris Agreement isn't even in effect in any meaningful way.

Speaker 33 And even if it wasn't in it, which it doesn't, it still wouldn't do anything.

Speaker 33 As all of their models show, it's just a first step to eventually get to something that would do something.

Speaker 135 So he's taking these things, which they have said are just a first step to get to a hundred-year plan.

Speaker 20 And he's taking credit and saying that we haven't seen these

Speaker 91 doomsday predictions come true true because

Speaker 20 of these things that he has also said wouldn't make any difference now.

Speaker 42 It's too late.

Speaker 122 But

Speaker 71 this is always the case with the have it both ways. Yes.

Speaker 174 Unfortunately, some elements of the Earth system

Speaker 43 have crossed a point of no return.

Speaker 174 A big chunk of the West Antarctic ice sheet, for example, makes a considerable amount of sea level rise.

Speaker 43 Okay,

Speaker 112 no, it doesn't. It didn't melt.

Speaker 109 It broke.

Speaker 5 It's still there. It was already in the water.
It was already causing whatever rise an ice sheet is going to cause.

Speaker 158 It hasn't affected it at all, nor will it unless it floats to Florida and melts.

Speaker 5 Then maybe we'll see a sea rise.

Speaker 97 And NASA and everyone has said that was not caused by global warming.

Speaker 42 It is a naturally occurring thing.

Speaker 22 When the glacier starts to go out, it's pushed down.

Speaker 151 It's moving.

Speaker 47 As the glacier is pushed out, over a long period of time, they can get so heavy that they finally snap off from the rest of the glacier.

Speaker 147 It's like a toenail.

Speaker 95 It's called calving.

Speaker 97 It's called calving.

Speaker 33 And by the way, in the articles about this particular incident,

Speaker 33 the head researchers who discovered it all say there is no tie to global warming.

Speaker 149 This is the natural warming.

Speaker 34 It constantly grows out.

Speaker 23 That's what those do.

Speaker 99 They grow.

Speaker 165 It's like a fingernail or toenail.

Speaker 34 It just continues to grow out.

Speaker 120 You have to cut it.

Speaker 42 This is called calving, where it just snaps off.

Speaker 25 It's natural.

Speaker 132 And also, all of them have said it doesn't affect the sea level.

Speaker 147 So, again, lies.

Speaker 17 Inevitable in the future.

Speaker 23 But we still have the ability to stop short of other points of return.

Speaker 11 We need to have the solutions available to really solve this crisis. We need the political will, but political will is a renewable resource.

Speaker 76 Oh, my gosh. So I don't know about you, but when I saw Dunkirk, I saw the...

Speaker 46 Did you see the preview for this awful?

Speaker 80 That was before Dunkirk.

Speaker 2 Oh, wow.

Speaker 31 That's kind of, we need to go, I think, as a show. We need to go.

Speaker 23 Oh, that's

Speaker 90 getting an inconvenience.

Speaker 33 Now, we're going to buy tickets to something else, but yes, we'll go to that.

Speaker 32 Yeah.

Speaker 68 We should just take a whole audience to it.

Speaker 118 Oh, man.

Speaker 43 Take a whole audience to it.

Speaker 33 Can we buy tickets to something else?

Speaker 83 I wonder if we can get some sort of a free preview or something.

Speaker 70 Oh, surely Al is going to be all over that.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 72 They'll be all over.

Speaker 43 Al would. Maybe some movie theater.

Speaker 41 You know what? Maybe we should just do it because he's good for comedy and

Speaker 65 it's a good spend of money because he discredits the global warming thing so much.

Speaker 143 It'd be great if we could stop and start the film.

Speaker 23 Yes, at the theater.

Speaker 43 Yes, it would. Oh, man.
And come on,

Speaker 90 wait a second. Stop.

Speaker 33 Can't line his pockets, though. Cannot line his pockets under any circumstances.
That's all he's doing this for, anyway. You can't give him any of what that's what he wants.

Speaker 33 He wants people to go see it so he can line his pockets somehow. There's always something with this guy.

Speaker 68 Let me tell you about our sponsor this F-Hour.

Speaker 29 The U.S.

Speaker 76 dollar has lost 10%.

Speaker 76 That is a two-year low against the Euro.

Speaker 68 So why is this a problem?

Speaker 22 Because a stable dollar allows the Fed to unwind their QE measures with less risk.

Speaker 18 What does that mean?

Speaker 48 Remember they bought up a bunch of stuff that's not worth

Speaker 164 very much?

Speaker 50 Remember that they also,

Speaker 32 you know, just kind of flooded the market with dollars and they need to stop doing that?

Speaker 147 The dollar falling down creates risk for runaway inflation.

Speaker 118 Wait a minute. So it's finally catching up.

Speaker 18 I thought that wasn't ever going to happen.

Speaker 74 The Fed will never keep pace, which leads to a rapidly developing crisis.

Speaker 87 None of this has ever been seen before.

Speaker 3 None of it's, I shouldn't say that.

Speaker 48 This has been seen before.

Speaker 41 It's never been done before where humans or the banks or anybody else has been able to unwind a mess like this.

Speaker 44 It always ends in the destruction of the currency.

Speaker 43 Always, every time, 5,000 years, every time.

Speaker 60 But this time it's going to be different, they tell us.

Speaker 152 Well, everything has to work perfectly.

Speaker 73 What is the likelihood of that happening?

Speaker 6 Please, please prepare yourself.

Speaker 22 There is a report out now from President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman.

Speaker 91 He identifies five threats to the economy.

Speaker 68 You can understand those and read those by getting this report for free.

Speaker 91 866-465-3546.

Speaker 136 That's 866-Goldline, 1-866-GoldLine.

Speaker 108 Also, Goldline is extending their price protection programs.

Speaker 14 Nobody does this.

Speaker 43 401k, IRA, stock market,

Speaker 103 any investment, nothing will do this.

Speaker 136 For as little as $2,500, you'll get three months of price protection, meaning if the price of gold goes down, they make it up with more gold, all the way up to a year for a $25,000 investment.

Speaker 98 How much do you have in your IRA or 401k?

Speaker 9 See if Goldline will be able to help you with this right away.

Speaker 97 See if you can move some of that into gold with the price protection a year from now.

Speaker 86 You won't have lost anything.

Speaker 87 If the price goes down, no stock is going to do that.

Speaker 105 Make sure you read their important risk information.

Speaker 102 Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

Speaker 157 The Glen Beck Program.

Speaker 91 Oh man, tomorrow is a great show.

Speaker 153 I will tell you tomorrow about the Florida family that was

Speaker 3 awakened by 15 pounds of sausage crashing through their roof.

Speaker 23 How come some people get all the luck?

Speaker 43 Right? Right.

Speaker 47 Sometimes Santa comes a little early.

Speaker 80 Wow. Here comes

Speaker 47 15 pounds of sausage.

Speaker 71 We'll give you that that story tomorrow.

Speaker 87 Also, I really want to start here. We're going to leave you with something from Jim Carrey.

Speaker 83 Jim Carrey is talking, he's got a lot of problems, and we'll get into this tomorrow.

Speaker 63 He's had a lot of problems over the last couple of years, but listen to what he was talking about this weekend.

Speaker 175 I really want to speak to the fact that I've had some challenges in the last couple of years myself.

Speaker 11 And

Speaker 175 ultimately, I believe that suffering leads to salvation.

Speaker 175 And in fact, it's the only way.

Speaker 31 He goes into a lot more

Speaker 112 spirituality.

Speaker 86 Yeah, and not politically.

Speaker 165 That is on tomorrow's program.

Speaker 22 We begin there tomorrow. We'll see you at five with a think tank only on the Blaze TV.

Speaker 22 This is the Glenn Beck program,
