hello Americans,
it's Friday,
my drum, I have made my choice, we will overcome, Cause we are run.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I know there's a ton happening in the world today, and we're going to get to all of it, but I want to start with
the problem.
The big problem
in our country is chaos.
Everything is upside down.
You don't know.
I mean, how many genders are there?
I believe the number now is 92.
But
maybe it is 92.
How do I navigate the world with 92
genders?
How do I, what does that mean?
How much change comes from just that?
Or how about this?
You can use the N-word because you're black, you can't, but
you as a white person,
you can claim that you're black, but I can't, even though I'm white, what's the difference?
Oh, your political perspective.
How do you navigate this world in chaos?
The reason why so much of this is happening is because we have violated the Bill of Rights.
We have so weakened our Constitution and so weakened the Bill of Rights that because the Constitution and the balance of power is broken, the president can write whatever he wants.
I got a phone and a pen.
George Washington wouldn't have said, well, George Washington wouldn't have had a phone, but he
also had pens, but he didn't use it that way.
And this has been happening for 100 years, and we are just starting to feel the pain that even Ronald Reagan talked about in the 60s and then again in the 80s.
One of these days it's going to hit critical mass and you're not going to have any good choices.
We're here.
So how do we return not to the good old days, but to
a country that we can understand
and that will navigate around anything that the future is going to throw our way.
Because the future is going to throw amazing things our way, both good and bad.
Things we haven't even dreamt about, thought about.
Some of the world's oldest and craziest futuristic nightmares are just over the horizon.
But so also are our greatest days, our greatest hopes, and our greatest dreams.
It's going to be up to us to choose which path do we take.
And that's easier when you have the Constitution
as your
gospel of freedom.
That's what that is.
That's a gospel of freedom.
It's the sacred American scripture that tells us how to navigate.
Senator Coburn
has written a book, Smashing the DC Monopoly.
The subtitle tells you everything you know, using Article 5 to restore freedom and to stop a runaway government.
Welcome to Dr.
Tom Coburn, former U.S.
Senator.
Hey, Tom, how are you?
I'm fine, Glenn.
I hope you are as well.
I certainly am.
I found your book fascinating, and let me take you to a couple of places.
I'm not going to start at the beginning of the book.
I want to take you to William Barton.
Tell the story of William Barton.
Yeah, well, Barton, actually, there were three people involved in this.
One was Colonel George Mason,
who actually
raised the first issue associated with ever knowing was there ever a
country that
voluntarily ceded power back to its citizens
and whether or not they did or did not.
And so that started the conversation with Barton
and bringing forth Article 5, the subsection that we talk about.
There's a lot of stories about Barton in the history, but his leadership in terms of this issue and restoring our freedom.
Well, he said, you wrote in the book,
He said, this clause ought to be written in letters of gold.
We ought to observe the excellencies of the Constitution.
There is a fair opportunity furnished for amendments provided by the states, but this clause should be written in letters of gold.
Well, that's right.
And the reason that clause is there is because right now where we find ourselves is that's the only solution that's big enough for the problem in front.
So
would you agree with me that the chaos that we are feeling right now,
because I think we're having a crisis of chaos.
I think that the only time that people reach out for
somebody who will make it stop,
you know, more of an authoritarian,
progressive kind of player, is when they are afraid.
And I don't think they're afraid of ISIS.
uh or war as much as they are afraid of the loss of the western way of life
And I think
I think our country's unsettled
and innately people know something's wrong.
And would you agree that what's wrong, these problems are coming from the fact that we have not
adhered to the Constitution, so we're rudderless.
Well,
we not only have not adhered to it, we've had Supreme Court that has changed its meaning
irreverently, in my opinion, to where we no longer have the structure that would allow us to maintain the freedoms and the opportunity to fix ourselves, to set ourselves right.
You know,
what we're seeing today is people talking about the problems we have.
A recent poll, I think, said 84% of Americans don't trust the federal government.
Well, rightly so.
Why would you?
There's a million dollars in debt per family out there, right?
So how do they pay that off?
For the millennials,
there's 1.7 million interest in unfunded liabilities coming their way, not counting the debt.
I will tell you, though, Tom, I don't think that's a bad number that 84% of
people
distrust the government.
I think
you go back to George Washington's time.
I'll bet you that number was in the 90s if they would have taken polls.
I mean, George Washington said you shouldn't trust government.
Treat it as fire.
Well,
but they're also saying is we don't think it works anymore.
Matter of fact, the millennials don't know how it's supposed to work because the education has been so disruptive in not teaching and undermining the principles of our country that were built upon.
So
I don't worry that people don't trust the federal government.
I worry the fact that what that will lead to is no confidence in anything that comes out of there.
Well,
you have a problem now where 49% of conservative millennials, conservative millennials, 49%
believe in freedom of speech, but that the government should determine what that speech should be.
Yeah, and that's scary because we've had our whole
education establishment stolen in terms of freedom and the principles that built this country and the Judeo-Christian principles that allowed us to do that in the first place.
So that's all been stolen.
And so we've had mind-bending.
Not that there are not a lot of great young people out there, but when they've been taught that you don't, you know, it's not good for you to listen to a difference of opinion.
Matter of fact, you ought to not listen to a difference of opinion.
Well, the only way you really grow intellectually is to listen to a difference of opinion and actually think about it.
And now we have this whole generation that doesn't think you want to, you know, they want to go, my hair's on fire, I can't listen to you, even though you're going to have sound reasoning and good logic in your discussions.
That's a symptom, though, Glenn, of the problem.
The problem is we've abandoned limited government, we've undermined personal responsibility, and we're suffering the consequences of it.
You write in the book about Samuel Jones, why the why Article V solution, why it exists.
Can you tell us a little bit about that story?
Well, the Article 5 solution exists because it was forced to exist.
Matter of fact,
it was the only thing in the Constitutional Convention that never had heavy debate.
Now, most people don't realize that.
If you look at Madison's notes,
he did copious notes on the whole convention.
And the only aspect of that convention that didn't have vigorous debate, vigorous, hard-fighting debate before they came to agreement, was Article 5.
And the very aspect that they would come around
to
allowing
a restoration of the principles.
Actually, the history is
that our founders knew that Republican works wouldn't live long,
right?
They knew it wasn't going to live long.
And so they came around to the idea that we have to put a way for us to at least put a a salvage echo in there.
Tom, I sure appreciate your taking on this topic and explaining it to the American people.
Smashing the D.C.
monopoly, using Article 5 to restore freedom and stop a runaway government.
It's available in bookstores everywhere.
It has tremendous, tremendous history.
including a story about Jefferson Davis.
After the war, Jefferson Davis said, we should have just used Article V.
It led to too much bloodshed.
If we would have used Article 5,
we wouldn't have had the Civil War.
They almost did, Glenn.
They almost did.
Yeah.
Smashing the D.C.
monopoly.
And if you
can get involved in the Article 5 movement in your state,
it's just passed in Texas, and it is starting to to gain momentum, and it is critical.
They'll never give themselves
a limit on their power in Congress.
Never.
You need to do it, and it needs to happen through a convention of states to change the
Constitution and put a few things in there like, I don't know, you spend the money that you have, not our children's money.
Article 5 Convention, and the name name of the book, again, is Smashing the DC Monopoly by Tom Coburn.
Tom, thank you very much.
Appreciate it.

I will make this sand.
I will raise my voice.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This
is the Glenn Beck Program.
Mercury.
The Glenn Beck Program.
888-727-Beck.
We're glad you're here.
It is
Friday.
There's so many things to
talk about.
First of all, the Obama administration knew that gang members were part of an illegal immigrant surge.
This is coming from a whistleblower now.
They knew that gang members, the Obama administration knowingly let in at least 16 admitted MS-13 gang members who arrived in the U.S.
as illegal
immigrant teenagers in 2014.
This is a top senator saying on Wednesday, citing internal documents that show the teens were shipped to juvenile homes throughout the country.
We knowingly
let in MS-13 gang members.
You're our gang member specialist, Pat, for MS-13.
Who are these guys?
They're really pleasant fellows.
Wow, that was not what I was expecting for the gang experts.
You may not be the expert I thought you were.
If you enjoy your head being sliced off.
Because
like Islamic extremists, that's one of their favorite things to do is to cut the heads off their victims.
I specifically
do not.
Yeah, they're brutal.
And MS-13 has spread.
It started in Texas, obviously, in
Dallas and Houston.
It's in almost every state now, almost every state.
And there's just thousands of these guys, and they're brutal.
They're one of the most brutal gangs.
Is this one of the gangs that learned some of their stuff?
No, those were the Zeta commandos.
Zeta.
Yeah.
This conversation is one of those that relates to what we talked about yesterday with the Planned Parenthood video.
Hang on just a second.
I don't think we're thinking the same thing.
You were thinking the people that were educated by the CIA.
I was talking about the gangs in Mexico that were trained or picked up a lot of their
tools of the trade from al-Qaeda.
Okay.
Car bombings and the beheadings and everything else.
That could also be MS-13, but that sounds like the Zeta's.
Just talking about this goes back to Planned Parenthood yesterday.
These women who are, again, probably go out to dinner with friends and are delightful.
And, you know, they go and they live their normal life.
And then during the day, they just pull legs off of live babies because they don't want to get in trouble for partial birth abortions.
And you get this line where, like, your ideology or this thing you're trying to win or whatever it is gets in the way way of just basic common sense.
You might be for
illegal immigration.
You might be for more immigrants.
You might be for being nice to people from different cultures and all these things that are promoted by the left.
But it gets to a point where you're defending this indefensible position where you're ignoring real dangers to the citizens of your country.
And the same thing, I think, happens with Planned Parenthood.
I mean, Planned Parenthood,
lately they've been coming out with these pamphlets that people have been finding from the 50s where they're like, you know what?
Abortion is ending a life.
It's killing a baby.
But, you know, birth control is not abortion.
You should know that.
And people are like, well,
they were admitting.
They were admitting that this was killing a child.
And that is an absolutely valid observation on that.
But more importantly, I think, is progressivism.
At that time, they were trying to win a battle about birth control.
So they didn't care what they said about abortion.
Abortion wasn't there.
They didn't care.
They'd say anything about abortion to win this thing today.
And they will justify importing gang members.
They will act as if these crimes don't exist.
They will say, well, you know what?
It really, it really rubs me the wrong way.
Sometimes when an eyeball falls on my lap, which is another quote from one of those Planned Parenthood videos, if you missed that yesterday, they'll say anything to win the thing in front of them to advance progressivism by one step.
And that it's to me indefensible.
So So what was the, why is he letting the
MS-13 gang members in knowingly over the border?
What is he trying to win?
Well, I mean, I think it's if you admit that
we have a problem with gang violence coming across the border in any real fashion.
Right, okay.
So you're saying that he didn't, he's not bringing them in to make a case.
He's silencing people from saying that.
That's why you have to be a whistleblower to report it, right?
Right.
I mean, sense it's terrifying
because these are you wish we were in a country in which people weren't overwhelmed by that winning these little political arguments where we could all come together you know stopping gang members from coming into the country should be fairly obvious i mean even wouldn't you think and i gotta believe these people exist but wouldn't you think a pro-choice person could come out and be okay saying wow it's really bad what they're doing today with these clinics maybe you believe in something earlier on in the pregnancy or whatever, but they can't even bring themselves to criticize people who are admitting pulling legs and arms off of children so they don't get in trouble.
I will tell you this: we said this yesterday: it's not the evil people you have to worry about in the world, they always exist, it's the apathetic people that are the problem.
It's the Glenn Beck program,
Mercury.
You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Hello, America.
It is Friday, and we are thrilled that you would choose to spend some time with us today.
Thank you so much for that.
As we try to figure out this crazy, chaotic world and make sense of it.
You know, we were talking, you know, some deep stuff a minute ago, but, you know,
as I said before we went into the break, It's not the evil people that we have to worry about.
It really is the apathetic people that we need to wake up.
I don't know how to talk to somebody who is that far gone in evil.
And I'm not sure I can wake anybody up, but if we can just wake up a few apathetic people, the world changes.
And if you don't, the world continues to slide downhill because evil advances.
You know, it's Adolf Hitler
learned from the Turks.
Nobody cared about the Armenian genocide.
The world was apathetic.
He saw that and he said, look at the Christian world didn't even stand up for the Christians being slaughtered.
Imagine what we can do.
I went to Auschwitz and about, I don't know, 50 yards behind the gas chambers and the crematoriums is the Commandant's house.
Maybe 100 yards.
I think it's 50, but maybe 100 yards.
But it's right there.
And there's a fence around the house.
Now, the guy from Auschwitz, he was obviously a monster, but he lived there with his wife and two or three children.
And the kids would be out back playing with bunny rabbits.
I mean, they had a little bunny rabbit hut right there with a smoke billowing behind.
And the kids would go outside.
The kids had no idea dad was a monster.
And they were playing one day with the bunny rabbit.
And one of the inmates,
the one of the kids screamed because they saw something move in the garden and it was an inmate and he was he had crawled through the fence just to get a potato
dad came out and blew his brains out in front of the kids and the bunny rabbit
when you are surrounded by
by evil and corruption, when it becomes so prevalent, it's advanced so far,
the apathetic
are not just asleep, they're dead inside.
They don't notice.
That's just what people do.
And
it's frightening because
evil is advancing.
But evil is always among us.
It's always there.
It's just that the awake usually push it back into the darkness.
So we really have to figure out how to be awake.
Well, learning is one of those ways, right?
You have to know the information and know the history.
How many times have we talked about progressives from the past and learned that what we thought was true about them 10 years ago was actually the opposite?
Yeah.
And this goes all the way to maybe the most covered thing of all time is World War II, at least in our lifetimes.
The Nazis, you know,
they have so many consistent
commonalities with other movements and progressives in particular.
Oh, I love the letter that we have in the Mercury Library from the,
like, what is it, the Universal Betterment for Man
progressive operation in California that says, thank you for coming to Germany.
50 million people have been inspired by your progressive ideas.
And rest assured,
your name will always be remembered as part of the eugenics program that we are going to start like it was going to be something that was praised until the end of time they all believed it and loved it right which is really fascinating you you told me I think it was two or three weeks ago
we were discussing the environmentalist policies of the Nazi regime and you asked me to kind of go through that and pick out all of the ties because they're extensive because Adolf Hitler was I mean,
he would have been an environmentalist.
I mean, he was an environmentalist in many ways, and he loved dogs and animals,
you know, more than people.
Yeah.
We went back and looked at it, and there were a lot of similarities.
Much of the 1960s and 70s overpopulation scare shared large parts of its concerns with Hitler.
Both movements were obsessed with the idea that they could not produce enough food to feed the increasing numbers of people.
Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make, as environmental legend/slash crazy person Paul Ehrlich put it.
Of course, it's not as plausible to find new space to grow food when you're talking about the whole planet.
Hitler only cared about Germans and could solve this problem by gaining living space to the east.
The book Hitler Ascent quotes Mein Kampf's first volume, noting noting Hitler's belief that the new Reich would have to conquer with the German sword the soil that the German plow would till in order to provide the people with their daily bread.
Hitler's desire for living space was specifically to secure adequate food supplies for the German people.
How important was living space?
Hitler's two most important goals, the destruction of Jewish Bolshevism and the conquest of living space in the East.
Despite all the tactical flexibility and political maneuverability he was to show later in his career, Hitler always insisted on these two goals with dogmatic rigidity.
The BBC wrote about the movement that influenced Hitler, including the growing concern about the allegedly negative effects of industrialization and urbanization.
There is also a belief in the virtues of agrarian society and the panic over Germany's limited resources of food and raw materials.
The only thing keeping those quotes off a Prius bumper sticker is that they're too long.
The environmentalists of the day certainly notice the Nazis' green efforts.
German conservationist Wilhelm Leinenkamper wrote that the Nazis refuse all kinds of compromise and demand strict, literal fulfillment.
Those refusing the call of sacrifice are under attack, and rightly so.
Sounds like something you'd hear about those evil climate deniers today.
The book, The Green and the Brown, by environmental professor Frank Ucoetter dives into the debate as to why environmentalists were so enthralled with Nazis.
Much of it was an ability to overlook the nastiness of the regime to get their desired outcomes.
But the similarities to modern-day environmentalism are unmistakable, as Ucoetter sums up nicely.
The lion's share of conservationist publications between 1933 and 1945 could be printed again today.
without raising eyebrows.
The Nazi policy of Dauerwald, or Eternal Forest, was a nationwide, top-down, sustainable forestry program that was a passion project of one Erman Goering.
Long before he sampled the sweet taste of cyanide, he said, quote, only by the complete subjection of the individual to the service of the whole can the perpetuity of the community be assured.
Eternal forests and eternal nation are ideas that are indissolubly linked.
Does that sound right-wing to you?
For many of today's environmentalists, the Nazi Eternal Forest program is as impressive as a yummy glass of lukewarm kombucha.
Ironically, then we might conclude that it was the Nazis who pioneered the application of ecologically aware forestry in Germany.
But is this assessment correct?
The book rightly points out that when the war ramped up, the Nazis clearly prioritized the military over the trees, but quote, I would argue that this policy left a long-term legacy for the German forest that was ecologically beneficial.
Jonah Goldberg also outlined the regime's similarities when it came to these areas in his book, Liberal Fascism.
Heinrich Himmler was a certified animal rights activist and aggressive promoter of natural healing.
Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy, championed homeopathy and herbal remedies.
Hitler and his advisors dedicated hours of their time to discussions of the need to move the entire nation to vegetarianism as a response to the unhealthiness promoted by capitalism.
A Hitler youth manual proclaimed, nutrition is not a private matter.
Organic food was inextricably linked to what the Nazis then described as the left does today as social justice issues.
The one environmental issue that you don't see Hitler all that concerned about was global warming, which is odd considering the Earth warmed about 0.7 degrees Celsius between 1910 and 1940, just slightly less than the entire amount of warming that has occurred in the last century.
I guess the world had more pressing issues to deal with back then.
Hmm.
You think?
Very good.
Thank you, Stu.
You're listening to the Glen Beck Program.
So here we are entering Memorial Day weekend, which is fantastic.
And I like the way that we remember
those who fought and died for our country by eating our face off.
By what
I will tell you,
we don't do that very often.
You know, okay, we do it when we celebrate the Lord's birthday.
We eat our face off.
When he died and then rose again, we eat our face off.
Thanksgiving, we eat our face off.
I don't know if you see a trend on American holidays,
but generally we eat our face off.
I've noticed over time
that I just really enjoy food
and will really look for any excuse.
Can I ask you a question?
To eat it.
What would life be like
without
food?
I've often thought of it.
It would be short.
Life would be short.
I'm going to fix yourself so hard.
Boy, do I need this vacation?
What I mean is if we didn't have, if we could just take a pill, we'd be get all the nutrition and everything else.
You wouldn't have to prepare food.
Yeah.
You wouldn't have to go out to a restaurant.
You wouldn't have to.
You wouldn't get fat.
You wouldn't have to have a wife.
Wait, what?
Oh, I just thought we were naming what we wouldn't need if we
cooked food.
It was another one of Jeffy's sexist jokes.
Yeah.
No, I don't think that's a sexist joke.
I think that was a real statement.
That's real.
Yeah.
You know who kind of went through this, actually?
You may have spoken to him about it, but it's Penn Jillette.
Because Penn Jillette went from a guy who really loved food and ate it all the time.
And it was, you know, Penn was a big guy.
And he wrote a book that came out last year about his weight loss of over 100 pounds.
And the way he did it.
No, shut up.
In, by the way,
three months.
Shut up.
Three months.
Like 100 pounds or 80 pounds.
It was 100.
Yeah.
It was 100 pounds and like, I don't remember if you ate it.
It lost 100 pounds in 100 days.
Yeah.
So it was very close to that number.
Shut up.
Right.
And the way he did it was he basically eliminated food from his world.
So like he started out the first, you know, two weeks, he ate basically nothing.
I swear to you, nothing but potatoes.
Potatoes, right?
For two weeks.
And without butter.
Not butter, no salt.
No salt.
No gravy.
Nothing.
No salt.
No gravy.
What kind of diet are you on?
That may be why your diets don't work.
That's not no
Chris, you're going to put gravy on potatoes.
We're going to eat a potato without gravy.
No, you need sense to me.
You want my lemon gravy?
You're going to have a gravy?
You could have a potato and
some sort of butter.
I could eat it for two weeks.
If there was plenty of butter, sour cream, and gravy.
I'd be fine.
For two weeks.
Wait, sour cream and gravy?
Gravy, of course.
No butter.
Wait, is it milk gravy with sausage pieces in it?
Yes.
All right, I got it.
I got it.
We're not living in caveman.
No butter, no sour cream, no salt, no bacon bits, no cheese, nothing, just potatoes for two weeks.
And what was interesting as he described it was essentially he just lost all real desire
to eat food.
Like you get to that point where you're just like, well, I mean, because he was saying that he, it was,
it was so bland for so long that he would start to notice like the little, like, he could actually taste a potato.
It was no longer bland bland to him because he just had he almost like he like put his taste buds to sleep so anything would wake them up so when he would have like a little bit of Tabasco when he started introducing that it was like this flavor you know rainbow to him and but what he described was one of the most difficult things of doing it is here's a guy who's obviously in entertainment he's traveling a lot he's doing all sorts of things was to
to realize how important to just the human interaction experience food is.
It's constantly going out to dinner.
You're eating with each other.
You're sitting down for a lunch meeting.
He said he'd go to like, you know, he's in Hollywood, so he would go to, or he's in Vegas, but he'd go to like a Hollywood type meeting, and they'd just be catering there at 11 a.m.
with Danishes and bagels and cookies and all that stuff.
I hate that when they do that.
I know, but
you just, by default, Yeah, you have one Danish and then you're walking by and you grab a couple cookies and you wind up eating 800 calories and not even thinking about it.
Well, when he eliminated that, he realized how much of a weight that was.
It was constant search for those times.
And when you don't care about it anymore, you kind of like free up your life.
I mean, the world without food would be, first of all, short.
But second of all,
if you kind of eliminated the need for it, because you know, that guy who did the, he was eating like, he was calling it,
what's the, um, the
Charlton Heston reference you always use.
Soylent green.
Soil and green.
He's calling it soylent.
I don't know if he still makes it or not, but it was.
I feel like that was the dumbest name I've ever heard.
Yeah, because it's not, you don't want anything to do with it.
Hey, it's cannibalism.
Yeah.
That's not a good meat product.
No.
His was just like all that.
It was all the food you need, so you just use it as fuel.
I don't care about food.
That's a huge change in the human, especially in American experience.
It wipes out the
film.
That's why people ate Soylent Green.
If I could just eat on the holidays
where you're together with the family and stuff, so you're kind of busy doing stuff, you don't have to sit and talk to them, it'd be fantastic.
The Glenbeck program.
Mercury.
The Blaze Radio Network.
On demand.
Hello, America.
Bill O'Reilly.
and his recap of the week begins right now.
It's Friday.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Bill O'Reilly is still sharing his opinions at billo'reilly.com with podcasts where he comments on the news of the day every day.
You want to catch that at billo'reilly.com.
Let me introduce you to my friend Bill O'Reilly.
Hi, Bill.
Beck, how you doing?
I mean, even after last week, you know, it's still the war.
There's no
week.
That wasn't warm and fuzzy.
That was not.
Well, the kind of half snort, half-breath, breath, like, oh, geez.
Hello, Beck.
I wanted to keep it pithy, Beck, so we can get into the good.
All right, okay.
All right.
So have you been following?
Of course you have.
The ratings over at Fox News since you left.
Yeah, what about them?
Another very bad week for Fox News in third place.
Your slot is in third place.
And now it appears as they're coming after, as I predicted on this program, coming after Sean Hannity.
Right.
Well, first of all, I don't know if the ratings are fair.
They did okay on their coverage of the Manchester terror attack.
I think Fox News is number one tonight.
You know, we talked about this last week when we said that if you're going to make big changes in any operation, whether it's T V, radio, sports, got to have a plan.
I'm not sure that the
Fox News poo-bahs
have a plan.
So, but I, you know, there's a lot of talent there.
Are you concerned about?
I'm concerned.
I mean, you know, Sean Hannity and I disagree on an awful lot of things.
The Hannity thing is interesting because it's the same playbook that they use with me, and they being Media Matters and their affiliated groups.
And they're going after him in exactly the same way.
Turrets the sponsors.
Right.
And I wonder if Fox is going to learn the lesson or if they're going to let that happen.
And if he goes, the next stop, they've cleaned house at Fox.
The next stop is
talk radio.
Well, that's right.
This is a very, very
methodical and effective campaign of media terror.
That's what it is, media terror.
These people sit up there and they threaten sponsors.
If you don't pull out, then we're going to put it on the internet that nobody should buy your car or whatever product.
And so they pull out.
The key to it is if the broadcast companies themselves are going to stand up to this, and everybody should because it could happen to anyone.
And it's clear what's happening.
And we're going to expose it.
My team that I put together to investigate what happened to me in another few weeks, we'll have amazing information for everybody
about how well funded and targeted this is.
So if Fox News wants to keep any semblance of what it once was, it's going to have to fight these people.
And I'm not sure whether they will or will not.
Before we go on to the next topic, I just have to know: terror,
is that a word for that's Latin for land, isn't it?
No, it's O-R, not A.
Right, exactly.
Oh, I see it.
Latin is T-E-R-R-A.
Well, I didn't know what you were saying because I know how to spell terror and pronounce it, and you seem confused because it sounded like you were saying it's terror.
I'm from Long Island.
All right, okay.
All right, I got it.
Okay, all right, I got it, I got it.
Are you talking down to me?
No, no, no, no.
No, Mr.
O'Reilly, you are the king, sir, and I would never do that.
All right, so let's go to the terror attacks in Manchester, England.
What are your thoughts on that, Bill?
Another ISIS operation.
Looks like the guy was trained in Syria, got there from Libya.
His father and his brother have been arrested.
You know, it's more of the same.
And I asked this question for years.
Why is the world allowing ISIS to have a headquarters in a Syrian town called Raqqa?
Why?
Why isn't every nation joined together and say we're going to obliterate these people by force?
And that's that.
I don't understand
why they have been able to sit there for four years.
Do you believe that
that is an accomplishment of Donald Trump?
He was at the EU yesterday in Brussels, not the EU, but NATO headquarters in Brussels.
And while
some of the NATO people said, we have differences of opinion with Mr.
Trump, but not on this.
We are united against ISIS.
Well, they say that, but where is the declaration of war that NATO should
announce against ISIS?
And, you know, there's got to be some formalization here
of the fight.
And there isn't.
So anybody get up there and say, oh, this is terrible.
We're going to fight ISIS.
And then what are they going to do?
What do they do?
Are you going to put more troops in Afghanistan because ISIS is there now?
Are you going to pay more of the freight that Trump has been banging the drum on?
Are you going to pay more more of
the cost of the NATO alliance?
So, what are you going to do?
So, once it gets into specifics, then you don't hear much from them.
Everybody's, oh, yeah, it's terrible.
We're going to go get them.
And then nobody goes gets them.
Let me play a clip from billorilly.com.
This is,
I believe this is Tuesday's podcast.
Listen to this.
If we have it.
Do we have it?
Wasn't that interesting?
You should talk more on your podcast.
Do Do we have it?
Keith, do we have that clip?
Maybe having some audio issues here.
Some audio issues.
Sorry about that.
Okay, so let's get back to it.
It was a fascinating clip.
It really was.
We don't actually have a clip.
None of us have listened to your podcast.
We were just trying to.
Okay, so
in the clip,
you make the point that President Obama refused to confront evil before it grew out of control.
And now,
you know, little girls were killed at a pop concert.
What I want to ask you on that, Bill, is
President Obama yesterday came out with a statement, and I quote,
at least we did something in Syria.
My response was, really?
How do you respond to that?
Yeah, what did he do besides draw a line in the sand and then let them stomp all over him?
Yeah, I didn't see that quote, but I mean,
I think the Obama administration was
caught in a policy of retreat
that simply made terrorism worse.
And I think that's beyond a reasonable doubt.
So
I understand the policy.
He didn't want to confront
foreign terrorists on their own soil or Afghanistan or chase the Taliban around.
He didn't want to do it.
So he withdrew, withdrew the traps from Iraq, the troops from Iraq, cut the force in Afghanistan.
So what happened?
ISIS pops up in Iraq, gains strength, goes over to Syria, causes trouble.
Now they're in Afghanistan.
So I think the president might say, you know, my policy really didn't work.
It was sincere.
We thought it would.
It didn't.
And now we have to do something else.
That seems logical to me.
So
you also have made the point this week in the podcast about
Donald Trump
did what he could to stop terrorists from coming to America, potential terrorists coming to America and creating chaos and committing these heinous acts here in America.
He was ridiculed, as you said.
He was ridiculed, and the judges went around him.
Trump's travel ban was blocked yet again, this time by the Fourth Circuit Court.
Right.
Well, it's not a partisan issue for me.
I mean, if the President of the United States wants to stop immigration from seven countries that can't vet people getting on airplanes, that seems to be a logical thing.
But the left has made it into an anti-Muslim screed.
The judges have upheld that screed.
It's not being based on a Constitution.
In the Supreme Court, the President will win it, and he should take it there as soon as he can.
Is that that going to make a big difference?
Seven countries, a few refugees coming here?
No.
But it's a symbolic thing that the world has to be an orderly place.
And if you have a Somalia where anybody can get on an airplane and go to Paris and then change planes to go to New York, you might want to stop that.
So to me, again, it's all logical.
And I appreciate you referring to the podcast, by the way.
A quick plug.
Everybody, not just premium members from BillowRally.com, can listen to all the podcasts this coming Memorial Day weekend and get a flavor of what we're doing.
So I just wanted to get that in.
Rap, I was going to the beach.
I didn't know about this.
I got to sit in my house.
I got to sit in my house all day and just listen to BillO'Reilly.com podcast.
That's an incredible thing.
I wish I would have known earlier.
Listen, on your introduction, you are the show of enlightenment.
Yes.
So you're just spreading that enlightenment by promoting BillO'Reilly.com.
Right.
Okay.
BillO'Reilly.com.
Back in a second with more of Bill O'Reilly.
He's on with us every Friday to kind of, you know, tell us what he's picked up that we might have missed or others certainly has missed,
have missed
in the news reporting of the week.
Every Friday, Bill O'Reilly.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at Glenbeck.com.
Mercury.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
I believe that Trump asked Coates and Rogers, hey, if you don't have anything, would you please put that out?
Because my administration is under siege.
That's a reasonable request.
That's reasonable.
If I'm president and I'm asking my guys, look, do you have anything?
And if you don't, can you just maybe go on a record and say at this point in time, this day,
we don't really have much?
that boosts morale it's a reasonable request
but it's now being spun
as some kind of behind the scenes behind the back dastardly deed so you know bill what i like about this is the fact that you have a dog bark in the middle of a very important point watchdog i'm a watchdog no that's not a watchdog if that's your watchdog i'm coming to rob your house
that's a little yip yappy dog
it's a fierce corgi
what are you the queen um you the queen never watched the dogs
so let me let me go back to this point because what the press was saying this week about donald trump was
hey he went and he asked
You know, look, can you just say that you're not, you don't have anything?
Well, that's the way they spun it.
But I think the truth is what you just said.
And it is reasonable.
Say, look, the country can't take a long, drawn-out scandal.
If you have something, or, you know, at this point, you can say, we don't have anything, but it's continuing.
Whatever.
Can you just keep the people up to speed?
Because this is causing chaos.
Right.
It's as simple as that.
But just the fact that Trump would address the issue with anybody involved in the investigation means to the anti-Trump press that he's corrupting it.
So I think this is the kind of perspective that Americans need to hear because they're not hearing it on the national news television broadcasts and in the newspapers.
They're not hearing it.
It's like everything, every leak is a negative, and he's just the devil, and everything he does is bad, and that's that.
But if you're president, you would do exactly what you just said, Beck.
You'd say, you don't want an update, okay?
Look, I want to know if any of my guys
are under suspicion.
I'd like to know that.
You know, I mean, and I have
an obligation to run the country, and this is demoralizing the country, so let's get updates from time to time.
For instance,
the other thing is, is that he hired a private attorney.
I would absolutely do that if i were him five of them yeah i would do you have to yeah you are sitting there you are the most targeted man i would lawyer up because you know i mean i don't know if you saw this bill but there is uh i'm trying to remember the website we found out it's on some crazy left um
silicon valley tech website.
At least that's the way I looked at it.
And I don't know it thoroughly, but it just screamed lefty.
And And what they did is they took old clips from the 1980s and 90s of Donald Trump, and then they took new clips, and then they went to neurologists and
neurospeech therapists and said,
is he declining in health?
I mean, his brain health.
And they actually, I mean, you're not supposed to diagnose people.
Psychiatrist, neurologist, they were all on the record.
None of them had their name exposed, saying, yep,
it looks like he's
in the early stages of dementia.
They're setting up the 25th Amendment.
They'll do anything.
So Trump is smart to hire his private lawyers, but he's also done something else that's interesting.
He's formed a rapid deployment force
to answer all of these leaks and to provide perspective for the country.
When they come out in the morning paper,
he's got guys that are now dedicated to saying, well, wait a minute, it's not quite that way.
Here are the facts.
Because Spicer, he's really not effective doing that.
He needs to have a very methodical crew that can run down what the allegations are and then here are the facts.
Needs to do it on a website so people can read it.
But they are organizing that now and he has to because it's a drip, drip, drip.
You're right.
They're going to try to set him up in any way they can to get him out of office.
That's the goal.
The goal isn't reporting the honest truth to the American public.
The goal is to get this man out of office.
So let me ask you this, Bill.
Honest question.
I know it's a little bit of a CNN question, but let me ask you.
You respect the president.
You like the president?
That's an easy question.
Well, I've known him for 30 years.
I like him as a guy.
Okay, all right.
So you, but you said that.
I mean, I respect the office of the president.
Good.
All right.
So you like him as a guy, and you.
If he took a dump on your desk, would you say it was art?
Look,
that was a crude remark by Anderson Cooper.
Oh, my God.
I didn't even know.
What?
I didn't.
I was surprised because Cooper usually doesn't traffic in that stuff.
Cooper, I think,
lost his mind temporarily, and he immediately apologized for it.
Yeah, and he's really, I mean, the eye roll and everything.
You know, he doesn't like Trump.
Fine, we all understand that.
Your whole crew doesn't like Trump at CNN.
If you do like Trump at CNN, you really can't function there.
And the same thing with the newspapers.
But
look, for my purposes,
I don't rubber stamp Donald Trump.
I've been critical on Trump.
Anybody remembering my interviews with him, I mean, I confronted him on Putin.
That was a famous worldwide thing.
I confronted him on immigration.
I confronted him on a whole bunch of stuff.
So it's not my job to be rubber stamping Donald Trump as president.
My job is to try to get to the truth of whatever is happening that day.
That is my job.
And I'll tell you what.
In the mainstream American media now, by mainstream I mean the national press.
10 seconds.
They aren't looking for the truth.
They do not look for the truth.
More with Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com next.
You're listening to the Glen Beck program.com.
Now, I have Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.
And this is a special Friday.
He's usually with us for
an hour on Fridays, so we can hear his opinion and remind you that he is on every day on podcast at billorilly.com.
But I wanted to take this moment and, Bill, I hope you take this as seriously as we do.
And I know you do,
or will, because you're a body language expert.
Am I not correct?
I had a segment on body language.
I don't know if I'd be an expert.
I'm an observer of your body language, Beck, and
it's frightening.
How's his posture?
I mean, you know,
if you look at Beck and the way he moves around, you can have a very, very good discussion with an archaeologist and a paleontologist.
Let me tell you something right now.
If you're watching, those
fingers are in casts.
I cannot move those two fingers, and they just happen to be one broken on each hand, and nothing more.
So, Bill,
I want to ask you this because there's been quite a controversy over three events this week.
One happened yesterday,
one happened I think on Tuesday, and then one happened on Wednesday.
Start on Tuesday.
He's landing in Jerusalem, President Trump, and he's coming down the red carpet, and there is footage of Melania, Trump reaching out to hold Melania's hand, and she slaps it away.
Did you see it?
Yeah, I guess.
I mean, I didn't take it as a slap.
It might have been just, look, I can make it down here myself or something.
You know, I kind of try to stay away from that kind of stuff.
But yes, it was amusing to those who do not like the Trumps.
No, no, no, it wasn't amusing to me because I've lived that life.
My wife has done that to me, and I just didn't know.
I thought maybe somebody who's all hoity-toity
actually has that happen to him.
Then
the next day,
again on the tarmac, he reaches for her hand, and she moves her hand and crosses her face to brush back her hair, and he doesn't reach for her hand again.
Coincidence.
She might be mad at him for something.
You know how that happens.
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Now, here's the.
So you'll admit that, though.
It looks like she's mad at it.
It might.
It might.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I mean, I know you don't like to connect the dots, but
can we infer that she's pissed off at him?
I think she's serious with Putin and is transferring.
All right.
So the next one, the next one.
The next one.
This has nothing to do with Melania.
Did you see the the footage from yesterday with Donald Trump at the NATO summit where he took, if you want to call him a president, the president of Montenegro and just pushed him out of the way
and then stood in the front?
Like, not like, he didn't even have an excuse.
It's not like, hey, excuse me for a second, I'd have to hear this.
He just pushed him out of the way, stood in his place, and then just kind of like looked around.
Did you see that?
I did not see that, I have to confess.
Awesome.
But I did read about that.
But what I read on the progressive websites was he kicked him in the groin.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
No, no,
no, no, no.
You're not taking this seriously.
Are you sensing that too?
I mean, MSNBC is a news.
This is real news.
The Montenegro guy.
Yeah.
I mean, that didn't happen.
No.
No.
and you know, and the Montenegro guy, president or king or whatever he is, that seems important to NATO.
I mean, we don't have the fighting.
We lose Montenegro, and it's over.
We don't have the fighting Montes with us.
We're in trouble.
Listen, Montenegro is a beautiful country, all right?
But there is a tradition there that perhaps you don't know, Beck.
As a sign of affection and respect, you shove people,
Especially the president.
It goes right up to the top.
The more you shove, the more you love them.
I like that.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know that.
Any kind of international stuff just running right by me.
So, Bill, you've been to Montenegro.
Many times.
I have a condo there.
Right there by the
beach area.
Yeah, it was a good view of Kosovo.
Right in my Right, it's beautiful, beautiful, especially this time of year.
All right, did we miss anything, Bill?
Well, Father's Day is coming up, Beck.
And again, we want you to check out Killing the Rising Sun for Dad and Granddad.
And
the very hysterical and enlightening old school life in the same lane.
So you want people to check that out for dad.
Makes good gifts.
Dad does not want the tie this year.
Dad told me, and granddad certainly doesn't want the tie.
Wants the books.
So go in and please check those out.
And that's all pretty much all.
My dad doesn't want the
deceased father.
Wow, darn it.
Yeah, you put the books on his grave very nicely.
Oh, that was last week.
Yeah, you remember.
But you remembered that.
But you know what people don't know is that your late father is buried in Montenegro.
Right.
Wow, really?
Yeah, yeah.
Right there by the
beach.
Beach area.
You're right.
Yeah, that's very nice.
It's very nice.
Bill, have a great
Memorial Day week.
Memorial Day.
Yeah,
what are you going to do?
Gonna go out to the beach myself and
just chant and
try to get in touch with Hill with Chelsea Clinton, who's my new favorite Clinton.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
You know, she's been saying some things this week
that you've kind of taken issue with.
Yes, I have.
Chelsea wants to to be the arbiter of what's racist and homophobic and sexist.
She's going to make the decisions.
And I don't know if Chelsea's quite up to that, but perhaps I'm wrong.
Why do you say she's not qualified?
She's the daughter of a.
No one is qualified to make those decisions unless you can have an x-ray into a person's heart.
What Chelsea wants to do is just create this PC culture where if you say, gee, you know, I support a border wall, ah, you're a bigot,
or I support workfare, if you're going to get some government money, you really should go out and look for, oh, you're anti-poor.
This is what Chelsea wants to do.
So I kind of took her to task for that.
So if you said
I identify as a black man and I'm going to work for the NAACP,
do you think they'd embrace you like they did, what's her name?
No.
No.
Not a bigot.
I believe that this country, if we were all honest with each other about, look,
this is my circumstance and here's where I'd like it to be better, and maybe you could help me there, I think that ninety percent of Americans would buy into all of that.
But if you start to accuse people of being racist and this and that, and it's all negative, and you're a bad person just because you don't agree with me politically, we're never going to solve any problems.
And that's where we find ourselves right now.
We find ourselves with the progressive left
demonizing and trying to harm anyone with whom they disagree.
And that is a bad place to be.
What is the thing that reasonable people on the left side of the spectrum say about the right
that is true or partially true?
You know, if you talk to moderate Democrats or liberal people who are open-minded and will listen to an opposing point of view rather than condemning it immediately, you'll find that they feel the right is not compassionate enough.
That's the common thread.
You don't feel sorry for the folks enough.
But if you say to them, as I do, and I think you do this as well,
My solutions to the problems are more compassionate because they'll solve the problem, at least partially.
Your solutions never solve it.
You feel bad for them, but nothing gets better.
Yeah, it's interesting that, you know, like Black Lives Matter,
they're fighting against oppression, but I believe the solutions that they are recommending
of, you know, an absence of capitalism, et cetera, et cetera, only will create more oppression.
education,
family values,
respect for the Constitution.
That doesn't mean respect for the law if the law is wrong.
It means respect the Constitution.
Those things lead to freedom.
They don't like the Constitution, generally speaking, the Black Lives Matter people.
They feel the Constitution was put into place by slave owners, by brutalizers of their race.
They don't want any part of it.
They want to tear it down.
That's why they say that the police are bad.
Okay, this is the Black Lives Matter theme.
Police are bad.
Police protect poor people and defenseless people, but not in their eyes.
They're bad.
Okay, Black Lives Matter.
What would you put in place of the police?
Silence.
They don't have it.
They don't know.
It's all about victimization from them.
This is a crew that, you know, has risen up based on America is bad, and you better know it.
And if you don't know it, then you're bad.
That's what that crew stands for.

Mercury.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Let me show you, play some audio here, show you how crazy...
Chelsea Clinton has become.
Listen to this and tell me, how are these all interconnected?
Which is to be able to
kind of carry multiple concerns in both our head and our heart.
I mean just listening kind of to the concerns around education and climate change, kind of women's health, you know, child marriage, access to technology,
all of those are of course interconnected.
We have to focus on each of them kind of
in their interconnectedness and obviously.
You're in the audience and you're going, yes, yes.
Well, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold a bit.
Child marriage and global warming are interconnected.
It is so hot.
Have you not ever heard anybody, I am so hot.
I am so hot.
So hot, I married a toddler.
That's
no.
Well, no.
It is toasty out here, don't you?
But I think you look at somebody, when you look at somebody who's hot, don't you want to, you know, right?
You're looking at somebody who's hot, smoking hot.
Children, seven-year-old children are
seven-year-old children are closer to the asphalt, so they get hotter faster.
Wow.
Just a theory, but I think you see the connections there.
Oh, my gosh.
They're obviously
interconnected.
Of course.
Of course, they're interconnected.
That is bizarre.
And what was the other one?
Access to technology?
Yeah.
100%.
Global warming.
Technology.
Global warming.
Let's listen.
I mean, just listening kind of to the concerns around education and climate change.
Okay, we got education, women's health, child marriage,
technology, access to technology.
All of those are
interconnected.
Of course.
You are getting
an E-marriage certificate.
So you get.
Okay, but how does that tie in then to climate change again?
Because it's too hot to get one outside.
You can't go outside.
Outside to go to the city hall, you got to do it online.
The Blaze Radio Network
on demand.
Hello, America.
The world is so upside down.
But the good news is
there are a few people that are starting to make sense.
And we noticed this pattern and we thought we got to save all this stuff for a Friday because it's too funny.
And too, it'll make you feel really, really good when we tell you who is starting to make sense.
Well, we're going to actually start with a little Chelsea Clinton, which will make you
a little bit of pee might come out while you're listening to it.
And then we get to some comedy.
And we begin that right now because it's Friday.
I will make a stand, I will raise my voice.
I will hold your hand.
Cause we have won.
I will beat my drum.
I have made my choice.
We will overcome.
Cause we are one.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
All right.
So I want to start with Chelsea Clinton just to show you.
People can say anything now.
And everybody will just nod their head like they're a little bobblehead in the back of some guy's truck.
Chelsea Clinton is saying the craziest crap here,
and
nobody's going,
wait a minute, what?
Now listen.
I'm just listening kind of to the concerns around education and climate change, kind of women's health, you know, child marriage, access to technology.
All of those are, of course, interconnected.
Of course they are.
We have to focus on each of them.
We shouldn't focus on each of them.
We have to focus on all of them because climate change is, of course, connected to child marriage.
Well, let me ask you a question.
80 years ago, 80 years ago, the average temperature for the month of May is 71.
Okay.
Now it's 72.
Well, not quite 70.
It's 71.9.
What are you going to do?
You're going to get married as a child, right?
That's the only thing left.
Well, because you say to yourself,
you say to yourself at seven,
um,
it's hot,
it's almost,
it's almost eight-tenths of a degree hotter than it was 47 years ago.
Right.
And that was, you know, my age plus 40 years that I have no concept of.
I gotta get married right away.
That's what it is.
Or is it a 47-year-old who has lived his whole life with this constant, oppressive
another tenth of a degree hotter this month, another tenth of a degree hotter as it was last year,
another tenth of degrees it was 10 years ago, another tenth of a degree.
Maybe he can't take the constant tenth of a degree rise.
So he proposes to a seven-year-old.
Yes.
So he immediately he's falling to his.
Listen to this.
Do you have romantic music?
I
you don't have romantic music.
How do you not have
you're in charge of the audio vaults?
There's no romantic music we can play.
Can we play love story?
Sarah, do you have any
Barry White, Love Story, anything?
Do you have.
Oh, yeah, we could totally play Barry White with no problems.
Barry White and Love Story?
Absolutely.
Just play them, Sarah, right away.
And on the way out, just submit your bank account to the record company.
So when they sue us, we don't have to delay you and bother you for the withdrawals later on.
We don't want to make it.
Did I ever tell you what a buzzkill you are?
Oh, he must have been.
You have.
Many times.
We just had Mr.
No Spin Zone
last hour.
We have Dr.
No here in the role of Stu.
Mr.
Buzzkill.
So you have nothing, Sarah.
You You have nothing.
How about somebody with a ukulele?
Something sad.
Is that close enough?
Okay, okay, okay.
Ready?
When I point to you,
you start playing that, okay?
Here we go.
All right, here we go.
Now, imagine I'm
really old.
I'm 47.
This is really so far, it's really hard.
So
I'm standing there, and I've had 47
years where the thermometer has crept up
0.8 degrees Celsius.
So
it's 0.8 degrees hotter than it was when I was a baby.
All right.
And I'm like, our first I've I've kicked and I've screamed and I've I've bought a Prius.
I've gone so far, I didn't do anything else to my house.
I won't really, I'm not that great at recycling.
I talk about, I'll get onto a big fat airplane and I'll fly all over the world to talk about.
But what I really have done is I've made that sacrifice of buying a Prius.
And so I'm, I'm now, I'm, I am, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm out of options.
And I know
that in a hundred years, we're all doomed.
All right.
And so I'm standing there and I just say, dear God,
what have I got to do?
And I fall to my knees.
And now,
on my knees, I'm sobbing.
And then I look up.
And across the room, I see the most beautiful seven-year-old I've ever seen.
This is not.
And this is really kind of creepy so far.
I'm already down.
Can we stop this?
No, stop.
This is, wait a minute.
You've read the mood.
This is completely logical.
Chelsea was saying how they're obviously connected.
Yes.
This is the most obvious thing I can see this happening.
Much more than the seven-year-old going, I'm hot, I'm hot.
Now, I'm back on my knees.
I look up, she's beautiful, and she's saying,
She has a southern accent, Why, why, Mister, I am just so hot.
And you you think to yourself
I must marry her
now
Hmm that my friends Wow, is how they're connected that was really disturbing very well.
Thank you very much Mostly because you seem to specify her gender
Which I was not that was not okay.
That was not
myself.
I forgot myself in the moment of desperation of the 0.7 or 8 degrees.
It will.
I was so blinded by the sadness that I forgot she didn't tell me what she identified as.
I'm sorry, I did it again.
I think it's XI.
G.
No.
Didn't tell you.
It is it now, I believe.
I believe the right thing to say is it.
Is that true?
Is that true?
Yeah, there's somebody that just right, right?
Anybody know?
It.
You know why?
Chaos.
Nobody knows what to call people.
You all believed that it's it.
For a second, you went, is it waiting?
Is it really?
Yeah.
Why?
Chaos.
Chaos.
I'm telling you right now.
Okay, so now when we come back, I'm going to make you feel
you're going to say, well, I missed it.
No, please don't do the southern voice again.
Please don't do do the Southern Ice T voice again.
No.
No.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
Jeffy saying yes.
He likes it.
I'll never do it again.
Anyway.
What's coming up is going to prove what you're just talking about.
It's going to prove.
So it's so crazy.
It's so chaotic.
It's being recognized by some very important people, and you are going to love
this.
Some liberal people.
Yeah, you're going to love this.
The culture is changing.
And we'll get to that here in just a second.
You're listening to the Glen Beck Program.
The Glenn Beck Program.
I will beat my drum.
I have made my choice.
We will overcome.
The Glenbeck Program.
888-727-BEC.
Welcome to the program.
Okay, so
here's the theory.
They have pushed this craziness like,
you know, child marriage and pedophilia
is because of climate change.
They are not connected.
Oh, wars, terrorism, all of it.
All of it.
It's not connected.
And they've pushed these ideas so far that culture is starting to push back.
If you see, people who are generally considered liberals are pushing back in the comedy realm.
That's the first place where it takes root.
Once you can joke about it, and the people, the audience laughs,
when they're ridiculing you, it's over.
We want to give you examples.
You're going to love these examples.
We start with
Patton Oswald.
Then he moved to LA,
came out of the closet, told his parents.
Parents went, duh.
Now
he's happy.
He's married.
He's happy, running a business.
But he has a nephew who goes to his old high school.
He's talking about a friend, right?
So he's really protective of this kid because his nephew is openly, proudly, defiantly gay, going to high school.
And my friend is like, if anyone gives
to the gray, he's so protective.
And I get it.
So he went back for Thanksgiving, and he's talking to his nephew, and he goes, Is everything okay at that school?
You know, I went there, I didn't have the best time.
If you ever want to talk to me about it, how are things?
Are they oppressive?
Are they mean?
And his nephew started choking up and said,
Yeah, you know,
it's pretty rough there.
You know,
they're still really oppressive, and
it's pretty harsh.
And my friend, the way he put it to me was,
my inner Liam Neeson woke up.
He was thinking, like, give me a name.
Like, he just wanted to go and wipe out this.
But he kept his cool, and he was like, well, just let's talk about it.
What's going on?
Like, what are they doing to you?
And his nephew said,
well, you know, for instance,
my gay, lesbian, transgender club at school,
We wanted to have our prom
the same night as the straight kids' prom, and they're going to make us wait two weeks to get back.
So it's just really oppressive, you know?
And my friend had to stop himself from saying, you need to shut up because I don't think you know what oppressive means.
I mean, that is that is great.
That's the pendulum.
It's swinging back harder, right?
It is.
It's true.
It's like, okay, we have overplayed the hand of oppression.
Nobody even knows what oppression is anymore.
Now, here's cut two.
Can't keep up with the glossary of terminology.
Listen to this.
I could not be a more committed, progressive, feminist, pro-gay, pro-transgender person,
but I cannot keep up with the glossary of correct terms.
I'm trying.
I want to help, but holy,
they change.
It's like a secret club password.
They change it every week, and then you're in trouble.
That's not the word we use.
Just, it was last week.
I have hemorrhoids.
My ass is falling out.
I want to help.
I know I'm an old cis white,
but don't give me because I didn't know the right term.
RuPaul.
RuPaul got into shit shit for saying Tranny.
Ru
Paul.
RuPaul, who she laid down on the barbed wire of discrimination throughout the 70s and 80s, so this new generation could run across her back and yell at her for saying Tranny.
What the fuck?
I mean, so true, too.
I mean, really?
I just had you guys on it.
Yeah.
I just had you at it.
I don't don't know.
We all did the same thing.
Is that the right term?
Is that the right term?
No.
Because it's changing all the time.
Well, queer used to be a bad word, and now they openly embrace it and like it, apparently.
So why not it?
And yet, you don't know.
This is what went through my head as he just said that.
Queer is an okay word.
I don't know if it's okay for you to say.
Yeah, I couldn't call you that, but you can identify yourself as that.
It's an LGBTQ LMNLP yeah right it's in the letters you can say it that's a rule right that is a rule if it's in the letters that you have to say all the time you can say the word uh-huh lgbtq but you can only say it as the name oh wait but is q questioning or queer did we never figure that out did we i think it stands for both yeah so it's qq yeah it's it's a double q it's q squared it's lgbtq squared okay so that makes a lot of sense yeah it does right the one i always was always confused about was uh was little little people.
Like, little people seems to me so much worse than midget or dwarf.
Or dwarf.
Dwarf, I think, is acceptable.
Little people.
Little people.
It sounds so demeaning.
It sounds condescending.
To me, little people sounds...
Why don't we just call them munchkins?
It does.
It has that ring to it.
It does.
Look at the little people.
Isn't that the reality show?
The little people show?
Reality show?
Isn't that what they call it?
They're called little little people.
But that is like the acceptable term now, and that one seems worse.
It seems like they're going in the wrong direction there.
Well, it might have been coined by little people, and I'd hate to tell people what they want to be called.
I guess everyone gets to make their own.
If James Coley is walking around, we're going to call you little people.
That's a problem.
There's a federal dictate of what he thought.
I'm not surprised.
We're just looking for the tallest guy in government, James Goalie.
What should we call him?
Wait,
he got to pick not because he was FBI director, because he was tall?
Yeah.
Okay.
That was it.
All right.
Next one.
Civil rights.
Dave Chappelle.
Listen to this.
I get it, though.
I understand why gay people are mad, and I empathize.
You know what?
I'm just telling you this as a black dude.
I support your movement.
But if you want to take take some advice from a Negro, pace yourself.
These things take a while.
Just because they passed the law doesn't mean they're going to like it.
Brown versus Board of Education was in 1955.
Somebody called me in traffic last Wednesday.
It takes a minute.
My wife's friend, Stewart, told me that.
My wife has a lot of gay friends.
Stuart's their leader.
Stuart's their leader.
She has a lot of gay friends.
And I don't like them.
Not because they're gay.
I'm just judging them on the merits of their character.
They're just not nice dudes.
They're fing rude house guests.
They're sitting on my couch, giggling with my wife, eating my motherfucking macaroons.
And I come in, they act like the party's over.
Hey, Stuart, what's going on?
This guy talks to me the way a cat would speak if a cat could talk.
Hi, David.
If a cat can talk.
Scurp, what's all the beef, man?
What's going on?
You always must have some kind of gay political argument.
The last one was about a petition in federal court to take the words husband and wife out of the law.
I said, well, why would you want those words out the law?
He said, because it discriminates against same-sex couples.
I was like, please save me the semantics.
Just trust me, take your chips and get the out of the casino.
You're about to crap out.
Let's go outside, talk that over amongst yourselves.
And whichever one of you is gay, that's the wife.
What's amazing is
how
he's saying, take your chips off the table, go home, because you're about to crap out.
Don't overplay your hand.
Pushing it too far.
And it is, that's the message from all of these comedians
more
programs.
mercury
you're listening to the glen bet program
so let's go back to this now
this is good news culture is changing the progressives always this is what happens in history every time they always overplay their hands and they did it so much in the early part of the 19th century they had to change the name of their movement from progressive to liberal yeah and a classic liberal.
That's why you hear liberal and conservative, and it's the opposite
in many ways in
Europe.
A liberal means somebody who's really for freedom and a conservative is somebody who is more of a fascistic kind of person.
And then they have socialists and Marxists and everything else.
So liberal used to mean
a classic liberal, somebody who is very constitutional and likes small minimalist government.
Like libertarian.
Right.
So
they overplay their hand.
They've done it each time they've raised their head and they spook the American people.
And you're hearing now in culture, you're starting to hear the signs of this.
And every time, it's not what these comedians are saying alone.
It's that people are laughing and sometimes clapping.
it was
Patton Oswald when he says, I can't keep up with the terminology.
Stop changing the names and what I have to and rejecting me because I don't know what to call you.
And the audience applauded.
It's so relatable.
Yes.
They all go through it.
Because everybody is feeling that chaos of what that does to you.
I can't keep up with you.
What are you doing?
All right.
So let's go to Dave Chappelle, who, by the way, I think is probably,
would you say, the greatest comedian alive today, the best comedian alive today?
You got to see him live before you say that because he, I mean, his stage presence is amazing, but he's very funny.
And I was not a huge fan until I saw him live, but he's
on video, and I think he's fantastic.
He's just fantastic.
And
I'm a big fan of Jim Gaffigan
and, you know,
Brian Regan, I think, is very funny, but Gaffigan is off the charts.
But Jave Chappelle is just brilliant, so smart and brilliant.
Here he is, where he is, he says, let's remember the space shuttle tragedy.
Like when tragedy used to strike.
I remember I was 12 years old, and the teacher wheeled a television set into the classroom.
You know these things?
And she turned it on to one of three channels.
And she said, class, the space shuttle is taking off off, and we're all gonna watch it take off.
Man, that's going great for like three to five minutes.
That's right, you remember it exploded
right on television.
Everybody on board, dead, immediately presumed dead.
It was so bad, the teacher looked at all the kids and was like,
You can go home.
My point is, it's like the space shuttle blows up every day.
I mean, it's so true.
It is.
Think of everything that has happened in the last four weeks.
Think about what has happened in the last four weeks.
FBI director fired
an investigation into Russia.
The Manchester terrorism.
The Manchester terrorism,
North Korea, and possible nuclear war.
I mean, it's one thing after another.
One thing after another.
It's not.
You don't have time to digest things.
And then you take the cultural things on top of it.
Just the terminology.
Just how many genders there are.
Just, hey, who gets to use the girls' restroom?
Just one of those things
is big.
We're dealing with the biggest problems in our society.
And
it's like the space shuttle blows up every single day.
Yeah, fortunately, we were able to see that and have it repeated to us every day on our handheld devices and our laptops and our desktops.
But you're over and over again.
When that happened, when that happened,
it wasn't a week before that left the five o'clock news.
That was on our news for weeks because nothing beat that story.
That was the big story for weeks.
That story happens today.
It's over.
It happens on a Monday.
It's over by Wednesday.
Over by Wednesday.
So let's go to
Jim Norton now.
Here is Jim Norton looking at Caitlin Jenner.
But it's so funny with the whole country is like trans crazy, and we're really obsessed with it.
And it's so funny how when the new thing happens or becomes in the lexicon, you can't joke about it on TV.
Like, I tried to do a Caitlin Jenner joke on the network.
It's like, oh, no transitioning joke.
I'm like, well, it's not even a mean joke.
And they're like, yeah, but we just don't like it.
They've been marginalized.
I'm like, look, just because you've been marginalized doesn't mean that you're removed from the humor spectrum like everybody else.
Like, it wasn't even a mean joke.
Like, first of all, the network canceled her reality show.
How sh ⁇ is your reality show?
When you were on a ladies box, you're now a woman, you are a Kardashian, you've killed killed somebody driving, and the network goes, it's boring, there's just nothing happening.
And I think Hollywood means well.
I think their hearts are in the right place.
But it's a little bit phony.
Some of it is just a little bit vague.
Because you know how they can't talk about Caitlin without saying how beautiful she is.
Have you seen how beautiful Caitlin is?
No.
She looks like the gypsy from Finner.
I mean,
are you allowed to do that?
I guess.
But that's what everybody, that's what everybody thinks.
And everybody just falls into line and says, oh, yeah, she's really beautiful.
Honest people say,
she looks like a dude, man.
She looks like a dude.
And, you know, whatever.
Yeah.
I'm not judging her and I feel bad and I don't have any recommendations for her.
You know, whatever.
it's her life, and I would hate to
have her life.
What recommendations could you have for her?
I really like that approach.
You know what?
I just have no recommendations for her.
I don't know what to tell you.
You know, live long and prosper.
I got a spock hat at right.
Yeah, I mean, really, that's all you got.
I mean, I don't have any makeup tips.
What dresses might look better on you?
I think that's my new approach.
I just, I'm sorry, I don't have any recommendations.
No recommendations.
I got nothing.
A house special.
Try that.
It's pretty good.
There you go.
I mean, you know, otherwise, you just sound mean.
You're like,
you know, but there comes a point where you're just like, I can't work with this.
There's nothing I can do.
You've done it all.
Yeah.
And it's as good as it's going to get.
I think that's the thing you're hitting on there, which is so weird in the culture, is how immediately we're supposed to accept everything new as if it's always been and always shall be.
And not only are we supposed to accept it, but also celebrate it.
Embrace it.
No, no, promote it.
No, it's not, that's not what's weird.
It's that
80, 90% of the country doesn't
do it.
Yeah.
It does it.
I've been asking for the last four weeks because I'm working on a project and I've been asking for the last four weeks.
Everybody I meet, how many genders are there?
One person has said two.
One.
One.
And you know who it was?
Dana.
Now, I would expect Dana to say that.
Everybody else has been like, well, I don't know, 63.
You know, like,
you know, I mean, they're thinking,
well, there's, there's two, you know, but
they don't say that.
They're immediately thinking how much does society.
They don't want to say the offensive right or
they just know that society is saying that there's more.
So they just fall in line.
And how weird is it?
When Bruce Jenner, who won gold medals, by the way, in 1976, what a gold medal for his athletic prowess.
So not just a man, he was a strong, powerful, fast man.
He was a Superman.
And a good-looking man.
Yeah, good-looking man.
And so now I'm expecting you to, now that you're 68 or whatever he is, she is, you're supposed to be a good-looking woman?
Probably not, right?
I really haven't seen.
Did you see?
Probably not.
You know, here's the same thing.
And it's with a woman.
And I'm sorry to burst everybody's bubble, but I saw.
What?
No, I'm curious to see her animation.
We're on vacation for two weeks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the suspension will just come around with it.
It makes it worse if you say something
immediately going on.
All right, so anyway.
So anyway.
But did you see the pictures of Cher at like the Grammys or some of that?
Yeah, it's Billboard Music Corps.
Billboard Musicor.
She's 70.
Yeah.
And she's wearing the same outfits that she was wearing when she was 40 and inappropriate.
Remember the battleship?
Remember the battleship video?
She was wearing that outfit at 70.
Oh, my God.
You got to be kidding me.
70.
Yeah.
Okay, so here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
And you're not supposed to say anything, right?
Right.
Not supposed to say anything.
Unless you have a recommendation.
So, right.
So she looks
like magnificent.
For her, I have one.
Put some clothes on.
So, so
yes, she doesn't look 70,
but she should, but at 40, that was inappropriate.
I mean, it was just stop it.
Stop it.
I mean, they're all up.
They're all trying to show that off, though, right?
I know, but I don't need to
share a 70-year-old nipple ring.
You know, it's just like, all right,
all right.
Tuck that in, please.
And you can tuck it in where your belt is.
So just tuck it away.
And what everybody was saying was, isn't she magnificent?
No,
this is what you say.
For 70,
she is really in shape.
I mean, that's an amazing 70-year-old woman.
She's not hot.
She's not magnificent.
She's a grandmother, possibly a great grandmother,
jiggling her goods when everybody is like, oh,
you're 70.
And you're probably not supposed to say that, I guess.
can't, like, every sexual preference is okay unless you don't think a particular woman is beautiful.
Every other sexual preference is completely embraced.
But if you have a preference for a 25-year-old model, God, you're the devil.
I mean,
it's unbelievable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can fawn over a 70-year-old woman or a 70-year-old man.
But if you look at a model in Victoria's Secrets and you look at her and go, wow.
Oh, you want that thin, disgusting woman who knows he doesn't, she doesn't eat anything.
Jectifying women.
Jectifying you, bizarre.
What the hell has happened?
Glennback program.
888727 back.
Mercury.
This is a Glenbeck program.
All right, so what we've been showing you today is that
there is a pattern in the culture that shows that the left, the extreme left,
and the extreme progressive is overplaying their hand.
And that is because the comedians now are getting on and they are starting to make fun of the culture provided by the extreme left.
And people are applauding and laughing.
If they weren't feeling the same way, you know, and they're not, I mean, these comedians are big in in Los Angeles and New York, etc., etc.
Here's Louis C.K.
Now, listen,
there's a cut here, and this is about abortion.
So it's a little rough, but listen to what he says.
This is I think abortion is exactly like taking a s.
I think it is 100%
the exact same thing as taking a
or it isn't
or it is or it isn't.
It's either taking a or it's killing a baby.
It's only one of those two things.
It's no other things.
So if you didn't like hearing that it's like taking a, you think it's killing a baby.
That's the only other one you get to have.
I mean, that's hard to believe.
That's obviously...
I mean, say what you will.
That's a pro-life.
That's a pro-life bit right there.
Right?
Yeah.
No.
Is there any other way to look at it?
It's an honest.
It is an honest way to frame that debate.
Yes.
It is an honest observation.
You have to say.
Never happens.
You have to say that it's just a piece of crap that I'm pulling out of my body
or it's a baby and I'm killing it.
Yeah.
He's right.
One more.
Listen to this.
People hate abortion protesters.
They're so shrill and awful.
They think babies are being murdered.
What are they supposed to be like?
I don't know.
It's not cool.
I don't want to be a dick about it, though.
I don't want to ruin their day as they murder several babies all the time.
I don't think it's killing a baby.
I don't.
I mean, it is, it's a little bit.
It's a little bit killing a baby.
It's a little bit.
It's 100% killing a baby.
It is.
It's totally killing a whole baby.
But
I think that women should be allowed to kill babies.
That's what I think.
They should be allowed to kill babies.
That's got to be your stance, right?
That's got to be your chance.
And listen to them, too.
We got to kill babies.
So weird.
Do some shots and kill some babies.
I mean,
they all cheer and healed.
I killed like four babies last night.
It was retarded.
Oh, there you go.
But I mean, think about that.
It's framing the debate like that, which is the honest way to frame the debate.
It's either
go to the bathroom
or it's murder.
It's one of those two things.
And it's only a little bit of murder.
It's a whole murder.
I mean, you're killing a person or you're taking a crap.
And I guarantee, like, it's, it's hard to hear joking about such a serious issue for some people, but I mean, but it is the
I guarantee that affected people in that audience thought, wow, yeah, I never really thought of it that way.
Yeah, and I can guarantee you the people who cheered when he said, oh, let's kill some babies.
That probably bothered them too, because somebody they respect just called them a baby.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Mercury.
