Are we there yet?
Remember when I said that there at some point you just won't recognize your country, and up will be down, and down will be up, and what you thought was solid will be liquid, and vice versa?
Are we there yet?
Let's just, I'm just give you the headlines of the day: hijab, now the symbol of feminism.
Really?
Huh?
The forced wearing of the hijab.
Okay.
Sticks are now class two look-alike firearms.
Wait until you hear about the five-year-old that was
arrested for what she did to the imaginary king and the imaginary kingdom with her class two look-alike firearm.
Planned parenthood, the big story is there's no wrong being done by the people who were admitting to murder, were admitting to selling organs.
Nothing to see there.
The real crime are the people that exposed it with a tape because in California, you know, that law is on the books.
Even though the selling of organs is also on the books.
Let's not pay attention to that.
Also, today we all learned that shaking your head,
if I say stop shaking your head, that is now a racist claim.
We're pushing for sanctuary, sanctuary cities for criminals, while we want safe zones to silence thought.
Good is now evil, and evil is now good.
Are we there yet?
We begin right now.
I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.
Cause we are one,
I will be 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.
I want to start with Planned Parenthood.
Play the tape, Pat, of Planned Parenthood.
Here's one of the tapes.
This is the latest one from the two people that are now being charged with a crime in California and will likely go to prison for the crime of exposing this because in California, you cannot tape someone without their knowledge, especially in a private conversation.
Now, this is very hard to hear because it was so private.
This conversation was happening in a crowd.
Here is the tape.
Now, the thing is, I don't do induction, so like my technique is this articulation technique.
So, that would have, you know, we'd have to kind of talk about like exactly what it is that you're needing
because breach position is great.
We'll just throw that out there.
Part of the issue is
it's not a matter of how I feel about it coming out in tech, but I've got to worry about my staff and
people's feelings about it coming out looking like a baby.
So yeah, that becomes an issue.
Yeah.
That's interesting that
there's a kind of an issue with the staff.
to have to kind of protect their
comfort level.
It's so interesting.
Do you ever find yourself in a situation where it would be easier if this case kind of wants to come out intact, but you are kind of like, you have to make sure it doesn't so the staff doesn't freak out?
That's one.
And then another issue is Arizona is so conservative.
I just don't even want to send a full fetus to for cremation or any of that issue.
We have the people who do our paperwork for the field death certificates.
They email us calling them babies.
Baby this, baby that, baby so-and-so.
And I'm like, that's creepy.
So did you hear what she was saying?
She's saying that we can't have babies born.
We have to destroy the baby
in the womb or in uterus because if the baby is born intact, it will freak too many people out.
On the staff of Planned Parenthood, we'll say, my gosh, that's a baby.
That's a baby.
So they'd rather see the arm come out and then the torso come out and then the head come out all separated instead of having it come out as a full intact child.
And that's smart because
a head, an arm, a leg, are not indicative of a baby or a human in any way.
They're separate from that.
Correct.
So that's what was
on tape.
Now, what is a major?
This is all undercover stuff to show that Planned Parenthood is selling babies.
Yeah, they're selling baby parts.
They're selling body parts.
We have them now on tape selling body parts, admitting to things that are clearly a crime.
But what is it that is now in court?
What is it we're now discussing?
We are now discussing whether the person who took and made the tape of this monster,
if that
if that tape was legal or not because in California you will go to prison here's how this is going to work out the people who made this tape will go down in my in my thought as martyrs they will go to prison And they will serve time in prison for making this tape and exposing these monsters.
But I tell you, there is no difference between the people who tried to get the word out about what Joseph Mengele was doing.
They were also taken by the state.
They were ridiculed.
They were mocked.
No one listened to them.
And they were persecuted, jailed, or
killed because of the warnings.
Mengele went free for a while.
But I'm telling you, the the pendulum on this will reverse.
And you know,
those people who are currently working in Planned Parenthood, you may be okay today,
but I'm warning you, you are on the wrong side of history and you will be an embarrassment.
to your children or grandchildren and to your family to come in coming generations.
You will be known as someone.
How could you close the gas chamber door, dad?
How did you not know, dad?
Instead, we didn't talk about that dad.
We didn't talk about that grandfather.
That person is just lost to history in German families.
The same thing will happen to you.
She's on tape saying, yeah, we really got to cut this baby up.
Otherwise, you know, the staff freaks out.
They'll think it's a baby.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
And is the Nazi comparison here really outrageous?
Because people talk about it.
52 million babies have been killed.
No, it's not.
Since 1973,
look at Gosnell.
Look at Gosnell.
Yeah.
You tell me he's not a mangela.
You tell me he's not a mangela.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
He's not.
He's not.
Mangala had good intentions.
Mangala would sit there and tell you, well, I'm trying to improve the human race.
Gosnell is not trying.
He's just murdering.
He was helping with women's health.
He had good intentions.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
He had to do these things because he was trying to make the race stronger.
That's not what Gosnell was doing.
Well, Gosnell did say that he had to give access to abortions, and that's an important part of women's health.
You know, again, we all recognize, as I know you do, that Mengele did not actually have good intentions, but he just
so sick in his own mind that he thought he had good intentions.
They thought they were doing the right thing.
They were psychos.
They were psychos murderers.
That was what we heard from Megan Phelps-Roper when she was on the other day.
She was a former member of the Westboro Baptist Church.
They believe they're doing good.
They're not good.
Almost everybody, right, in their own crazy justification thinks they're doing some good thing in the world.
I am less concerned about those people who believe they're evil
than I am about those people who are absolutely convinced they are good.
And this is always a controversial point,
but every horrible person in history has some justification as to why they are not a horrible person in history.
I mean, the example I always like to use is the movie Seven, right?
Movie Seven, this guy is a mass murderer.
He's going around, and I know this is a movie, but it takes it out of the controversy for a second.
And what is he doing?
He's going around and he's telling these people that they shouldn't be violating these deadly sins.
If they would just not violate the deadly sins he wouldn't have to kill them all so try try this always a justification how about Mao yeah Mao killed 60 million people with quote-unquote good intentions Mao killed the first year what was it a hundred thousand people and then the second year with his his farming plan that was not a plan and had nothing to do with farming he killed I don't remember what it was but it was a lot it was tens of thousands of people the first year and he said well got to break a few eggs with this is going to work second year killed more more.
Well, it's keep going.
It's got to work.
Third year, killed more.
Until eventually they came to him and said, okay, we're now, we've now killed like 2 million people
and it's been going on for years now and it doesn't seem to be getting better.
Well, you know what?
Not one of my better ideas.
That was his quote.
Not one of my better ideas.
Let's shelve that idea.
Let's go back to the farming the way it was.
He wasn't evil.
In his mind, he's trying to feed the people and he's got a better idea.
Oh, it didn't work.
Yeah, and we'll break some omelets or break some eggs and we'll make the omelet and then it'll be everyone will be happy in the end.
You know, a lot of people believe that.
It's, you know, none of these people at Planned Parenthood get up and they think, they truly think that we're evil.
They truly believe we are trying to stop women from being happy.
They truly believe that we are doing our best to oppress women.
They truly believe that we do not understand.
They are not engaging in their head in what they see as evil.
They look at us and say, we are the evil ones.
You know,
I'll tell you, Pat gave me the best advice at one point.
He said to me, and this sounded absolutely crazy, I was having a hard time, you know, with God.
And he said, and getting my, I just come out of Yale.
And so, you know, you don't believe in anything when you come out of school.
And
having trouble with God.
And he said, just imagine God.
Just imagine.
You don't have to believe it.
Just imagine God with a body.
Just imagine him.
You look whatever you want.
Just imagine him with a body and that he is your actual dad.
And relate to him as your actual father.
Now, not your dad, because I've met your dad, a guy who is perfect and really loves you and only wants the best for you.
Just imagine him that way so you can relate to him.
It'll change your life.
I did.
It totally changed my life.
Okay.
So now
you imagine...
You imagine
a God
that
is somebody you can relate to.
Now imagine the war in heaven, that everybody talks about the war in heaven, and I don't, you know, a third of the angels are cast out.
Well, what was that war about?
Now go with me.
You don't have to be religious.
Just go with me for a second.
What is the mythology of that war?
The mythology is that...
One was going to force.
One was going to allow agency.
Right.
One was going to force
everyone to behave the way God said you have to behave.
Remember, religion is supposed to be so evil, and God is so evil because he's forcing you.
No, no, no.
The war in heaven was one angel said, I'm going to force all of them to behave the way I know God wants them to behave.
That way they can return to God.
And that angel was Lucifer.
And God said, no, that's not the way it works.
They have to be able to choose for themselves.
And we just need a way to wash them clean because they're going to continue to make mistakes.
That was the original war.
One who is trying to take all of your choices away.
Now that doesn't mean
that there aren't choices that have serious repercussions.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have a law against murder.
We wouldn't have a law against perjury.
There are laws that you can't break because man says they're wrong.
And sometimes it takes man a while to figure out slavery is wrong.
Abortion is wrong.
But I want you to know, this is a new thing to think that abortion is not wrong.
It's a new thing.
People say that, oh, well, the founding fathers, they didn't have any idea about this.
They couldn't have seen all this.
They couldn't have seen.
Yes, they did.
In fact, it was in common law.
Yesterday,
we have a document, a book from 17, I don't even remember when it was.
It was a law book
from, I think, 1792.
And it talks about abortion.
And it talks about how it is a common law crime of murder to kill a child.
Once the child moves, once there's the quickening, and you know it's a child, not only is it murder if you kill that child,
but if you put that child in any danger,
it is a crime.
And they used movement because
that's when they knew.
That's when they knew.
That's when they knew.
We know much sooner now.
Correct.
Much sooner.
We didn't know back then.
Right.
Yeah, I mean, you brought this up, I think, a couple of weeks ago, but but the state law of Virginia at the time of Jefferson and Madison.
Quote, but if a woman be with child and any gives her a potion to destroy the child within her, this is murder.
Right.
For it was not given to her to cure a disease, but unlawfully, unlawfully to destroy the child within her.
So this is universally known as wrong.
It has been known as wrong since the beginning of time.
You don't kill the child.
But what we've done is we've changed the words.
It's not a child.
Even though, what is this lady from Planned Parenthood saying?
That she can't, they got to cut the baby up because when it's birth, people in the room, the Planned Parenthood nurses, will say, that's a baby.
So they're lying to themselves about what that baby is.
And instead, they can look at it as parts.
And they're selling those parts.
But they're not the ones who are not the ones who are in trouble.
It's the ones who expose it.
We're not even talking about that.
Good has become evil, and evil has become good.
We are putting two people in jail who have exposed evil,
selling of body parts.
We're putting them in jail, and we're holding up the rights of the killers.

Oh, just what is
hang on, breaking news?
This stop everything.
Stop the music, please.
This is breaking news.
There's a new Trump tweet out.
Yes, there is.
And it's quite interesting.
Many people, obviously, were hoping for him to be very conservative as president.
This is an interesting signal down that road, if that's what you were thinking.
The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team, and fast.
We must fight them and Dems in 2018.
So I guess that's a threat.
I mean, again, remember the Freedom Caucus is the most conservative part of of the government.
And he's now going to, what, primary them?
But
I want you to remember, if you were at CPAC, you cheered for Bannon.
You cheered for Bannon to say you're populist and not conservative.
You're a populist and nationalist movement.
No, I'm a constitutional movement.
I'm a constitutionist.
If you want to be a national populist movement, congratulations, you'll get the health care you deserve.
You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
Mercury.
The Glen Beck Program.
So
as I'm looking at the list of things today that we want to talk to you about,
the hijab is now a symbol of feminism.
Sticks, the story of this five-year-old girl with a class to look like firearms, it was a stick.
The Planned Parenthood tape, we just talked about it, where there's no wrong for the person who is selling body parts and talking callously about
how she can cut up babies so that way people don't realize it's really a baby.
But we're not talking about her.
We're talking about the crime of taping her say that.
The shaking of the head.
Can we just real quick play the Spicer clip?
This is a black woman in the press asking uh sean spicer it's all about russia and everything it doesn't matter listen to what he says to her
she has now declared this was a racist statement rice did not support this president um she did not go to the convention she comes what is on the agenda and and how is their relationship has it healed since 2006 when he used a very negative word to so here's what i'll tell you it's interesting that you ask Those two questions back to back.
On the one hand, you're saying, what are we doing to improve our image?
And then here he is once again meeting somebody that hasn't been a big supporter of his.
Hold on.
Negative?
No, no, but April, hold on.
It seems like you're hell-bent on trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this White House stays.
Because at the end of the day, let me answer.
I understand.
Okay.
But you know what?
You're asking me a question, and I'm going to answer it, which is the president, I'm sorry, please stop shaking your head again.
But at some point, the reason.
Okay, stop.
They're yelling and screaming that that's racism and sexism.
How?
How?
No, what he's saying is, what do you think?
Do only black people shake their heads?
I don't think so.
And what he's saying is, stop.
You want an answer?
Let me answer.
And don't pre-judge.
You haven't even heard my answer.
Don't pre-judge my answer.
That's what he's saying.
That's not a racist thing.
Here, try this out for size.
This is a
story today.
Google VP warned the fight against fake news could lead to China-style censorship.
Berlin, Google veteran Vint Cerf warned Germany against suppressing the internet in a talk on Wednesday as the country looks to tackle the issue of fake news being published online.
He's known as one of the fathers of the internet.
He worked on the development of
TCP IP technology, blah, blah, blah.
He said, people should use their brains.
My belief is we should rely on critical thinking to deal with things like hate speech and fake news because you can use your ability to reject things if the origins are suspect.
That's where I come at on this.
I want people to use their heads to deal with information.
By the way, that's how we've worked in the past for the most part.
People are confronted with bad information all the time on television, radio, magazines, and newspapers.
Some people would like to find a way to suppress what they consider to be misinformation, fake news, and hate speech.
The problem is, I believe we encounter as soon as we start doing this, that who is it that decides on what the grounds are to suppress content?
When you begin asking for mechanisms to automate that, you start down a path, which is pretty scary.
It's the same path that the Chinese have already gone down.
Is that where you really want to go?
That's not where I want this country to go.
It's not where I want America to go.
What they're talking about is a new law in Germany that they're trying to pass that wants to punish internet companies.
Quote, this draft law sets out binding standards for the way operators of social networks deal with complaints and obliges them to delete criminal in quotation mark content.
Failing to comply would result into
a fine up to $5 million
on the individual deemed responsible for the company in Germany and $50 million against the companies themselves.
So if Facebook, if you publish something,
Facebook will get a $50 million
fine if some government agency says that that's not true.
Now,
let me take you to a story I found
on Wired this morning.
It's really quite amazing.
On Wired,
there was a story about Samantha B,
and it's a really good story.
on her and her partner who is writing.
And let's see if I can, darn it,
find it here.
As you're finding it, I'm always fascinated by Wired because it was designed as this, like the newest technology, the place you can find it.
It was a magazine.
So a magazine is where, and also its name was Wired.
Like we're all looking to try to be wireless, and it's Wired magazine.
It's such a strange thing.
All right, all right, all right.
So Samantha B's Full Frontal Assault on the Trump regime.
Samantha B and her producer and writing partner partner at Full Frontal, Joe Miller, know people often watch their shows as news.
Comedy gives them cover, though, and freedom.
They do real reporting, but unlike straight face media, they're not trapped by the creaky machinery of equal time.
They're not
trapped by the creaky machinery of equal time.
Wow.
All the people that are always arguing for the freedom doctrine.
Right.
False equivalency and sham neutrality.
B and Miller do have two hard, fast rules.
Mind your metaphors
and don't fear satire, but never depart from the truth.
It goes on to say that, let's see here, their show is not for ratings, they say.
B has emerged as a leading voice for the galvanized left.
Now, this is a fantastic fantastic article for Samantha B.
And it talks about how she makes sure that everything they say is accurate, all the stories are accurate, but then she puts in her opinion.
And they do it for them, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I wrote to Sam this morning and I said, May I just ask you a few questions here on this?
Great article.
Agree with what they're saying.
Agree with what you're doing for what you're doing.
But
just
remember, I was the voice for the galvanized right.
You're the voice of the galvanized left.
What's the difference between what we've done?
Mine is evil.
50% of the country believe I'm evil.
Why?
Because I was the voice of the galvanized right.
What I apologize is not what I said to you,
not what I said, and I don't know if I've ever really fully expressed this, not what I said to you,
but the way I said it because of the way it was heard by the other half of the country.
I don't need to apologize to you because you and I understand each other.
We speak the same language.
We saw the same dangers.
The other half didn't see the same dangers.
So I did damage, not to my half of the country, but to the other half of the country.
The other half, because of the way I was the voice of the galvanized right,
nobody listened.
Now she talks about how they have, they hire
real journalists.
Well, so did I at Fox.
And in fact, I spent a million dollars of my own money in verification.
So if you will look back at my history, I was never accused when I was at Fox, never accused of saying anything false about people or the stories of getting them wrong.
We were very careful.
The only one that the White House...
The one thing that they wanted to retract.
Van Jones never went to prison.
Right.
He was injured.
He went to jail.
Went to jail.
Okay.
That was it.
That was it.
The rest of it.
Out of all the things we said,
that's the best they could do.
The rest of it is on the conclusions that I draw.
Well, that's the same with Samantha B.
She might have her facts right, but it's her conclusions that we disagree with.
Yeah.
So what is the difference?
The difference is our half of the country does not have
the political and
the educational and the media elite in it.
The machinery.
We don't have the machine.
The machinery behind us.
That article I wrote to Sam and I said, what is it like?
to have a reporter face you and actually accept expect the best of you well they did the same thing for for jon stewart right right he was a he was a hero he was almost a god to the left but they do it also with the journalists
the shaking of the head right here is this woman shaking a head and she claims racism so stupid which doesn't make any sense but it's because the left look i don't agree with the trump administration and i think spicer is i i don't know how he does his job but he's right here it wasn't racist
He's asking for common courtesy.
But because the left has the narrative already built,
the reporter who is dividing us by saying this is racist, who does that appeal to?
She doesn't have to apologize to her side.
She has to apologize to the other side who says, really, you're throwing race when you know that's not a racist comment.
I will also say that the other thing the left does is think their side is totally pure as the driven snow.
Correct.
They've never done any of the things you've done.
And a good indication of that was last week with Tavis Smiley.
I know you probably liked the interview with him, but
it really pissed me off.
It really, I mean, listen.
What I said?
What he said.
Because
you were, again, telling him, yeah,
I did my share and I'll accept my share of the blame.
But listen to what he said.
And while it was never my intent, in some ways,
my dialogue
moved half of the country in the wrong direction.
And again, you're talking about
the left, not the right.
Yeah, getting all the way back.
You moved the left
into a place of hatred of the right
and moved us away from each other.
What I was hoping was that I would see others on the right and the left that would be self-reflective enough to say, you know, what role role did I play in this?
Did I
sit in the middle?
Was I really listening to the other side?
So far, Tavis, I haven't found anybody.
Listen to this.
Maybe it is the case that you can't find a Glenn Beck on the left because there wasn't a Glenn Beck on the left.
Maybe there's nobody on the left who feels that he or she has the need to apologize because they didn't go as far as you went in what they said or did.
Are you serious?
Now, my response to him did not piss you off.
Well, yes, it did.
Okay.
Well, yes, it did.
Okay.
Because my response to him, well, we'll play it in a second, I guess.
We'll play it in a second.
But I had to, I mean, there wasn't anybody on the left.
Just this week, Chris Matthews said this.
You know,
I kid about everything, but, you know, Uday and Kuse working for Saddam Hussein.
You couldn't go to a restaurant and have eye contact with one of those guys without getting killed.
These people are really powerful.
Imagine getting into a fight.
in the office with Jared or Ivanka.
Okay, so Jared and Ivanka are akin to Uday and Kuse and Udat, the Hussein brothers.
Okay, does anybody remember this guy?
Mr.
Bush, you're a fascist.
Get them to print you a t-shirt with fascist on it.
That is so clever.
That is so clever.
That's literally the worst insult of all that.
It really is.
It is.
Does anybody remember Nancy Pelosi's hysterics?
It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate.
Civilization, as we know it today, would be a jeopardy.
Now, people are laughing.
Civilization,
she's not kidding about that.
If the Republicans get control, civilization as we know it is in jeopardy.
And then one of my favorites.
He betrayed this country.
He played on our field.
George Bush betrayed the country.
He betrayed the country.
So he's essentially calling him a traitor.
They've also brought out the Hitler comparisons.
This whole idea of righteous indignation, first of all, it's Hitlerian, generally speaking.
Demagoguy.
It's always about righteous indignation.
But they never do that.
They never do that.
And remember, they denied that Obama ever called the Tea Party teabaggers.
That was a big deal because it really set the
tenor for the entire year.
And I think it's fair to say that that helped to create
the
teabaggers.
The teabaggers.
I mean,
everybody on the left, I think, was worse than you.
Just about everybody on the left.
That is why
my answer to Tavis Smiley pissed you off.
Because my answer was,
well,
maybe not.
Perhaps.
You said perhaps.
Perhaps you gave him that point.
Perhaps that is.
But I would ask for everybody, even in the audience, who has engaged in Facebook, have I engaged in these things?
Because we're all doing it.
And, you know, with the thing from Wired,
50% of the country at one point, you know, thought I was a hero.
50% of the country thought I was the most evil man in the world.
Okay.
They both can't be right.
And my content is, I contend that neither of them were right.
But that same 50% that thought I was a hero will take somebody like Samantha B and say that she's the most evil woman in the world.
Again, I don't think that's right.
What we're doing is we're playing to our own 50%.
We're talking to the galvanized right or the galvanized left.
I don't want to talk to people who are galvanized.
If you're galvanized, it means nothing penetrates.
I want to talk to people where something can penetrate because something can still penetrate me.
If arguments can't penetrate you, then there's a real problem.
I read a great quote.
I want to leave you with
this thought.
This is from Alexander Solisnitsyn.
Soljanitsyn?
Solja Nitins.
I can never say his name.
Soljusnitsynitsyn.
Soljenitsyn.
Okay.
Listen to this.
If only it were all so simple,
if only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing all these evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
And who wants to destroy a part of their own heart?
That's good, but this is better.
You're a fascist, Mr.
Booker.
Get me to print you a t-shirt with fascists on it.
All right, thank you.
You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Not at all.
You know, that is the real, you know, that quote I just gave you,
that is the real, that's the real thing on whether or not I think we make it.
If there's people that understand that,
oh, if it were just this simple, if only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it was only necessary to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
That's where we're being pushed.
We're being pushed that the other side, whichever side you're on, is evil and we have to destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being and who's willing to destroy a piece of his own heart.
We all have to be willing.
We all have to be willing to say, yeah, there is a part of me that feels good when I do this.
There is a part of me that did do this or is doing that.
And
because it's right, I need to cut through my own heart first.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Mercury.
I have a simple question.
This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.
Hello, America.
We got a couple of things to talk about.
Sanctuary cities
and the nonsense that is going back and forth on this one.
Just crazy.
Also,
headline, Congressional Republicans just voted to let your ISP sell your browsing history to advertisers.
That's horrible.
Do you know how long standing we have?
You know, the tradition in America of not allowing somebody like Google to be able to sell your information?
I mean, that has been on the book for about four months now.
It's that long of a standing tradition.
Where was everyone
when everybody wanted
the government to stop this?
Do you remember that outcry four months ago?
No,
because there was no outcry for it.
This is something that Obama did in the last couple months of his tenure in office, the Republicans just taking that regulation away.
Now, we're even split in this room on whether that's good or bad.
Where do you stand?
We go there right now.
I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, cause we are one,
I will be 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.
Legislation has been passed by the House and has already passed the Senate.
It's now headed to President Trump for his signature.
This is what it is.
In a party line 215-205 vote, the House of Representatives approved the legislation to allow internet service providers to sell information about
their customers' web browsing histories to advertisers and third-party
outlets.
So
you go online, you're browsing for whatever.
You're browsing for new socks.
That information is now going to be sold by, let's say, Google, everything you search for, to a sock company who says, who is browsing for socks?
Who is looking for certain TV shows?
They're all going to be able to find you now and advertise to you.
Now, this is, on one hand, something that all of us love.
We love the fact we're spooked by it, or at least used to be.
That somebody you can be browsing for something and all of a sudden the ads populate your page and you're like wait a minute i didn't i i didn't even how how did they know that i've been look oh wow they're tracking me
so in other words i'm not going to be asked to uh buy tickets to a chelsea handler show
my searches will know that i look for people like uh regan and um uh and gaffigan
and so when those guys are in town or people like them I'll be pitched them instead of Chelsea Handler.
Okay.
That's That's something that we all love.
This is all something, by the way, that has been done up until four months ago, been done by everybody.
And every time you see Google or Apple and they say, we've changed our rules, and you're like, yeah, yeah, Amazon, please.
And it literally will take you two days to read and understand,
just read, maybe not even understand
what you've just clicked, I approve.
That's all in there.
Yes, we sell your information to third parties.
What Barack Obama said was, we want you to have an opt out and an opt-in.
They have to ask you,
will you mind, do you mind if we sell your information?
Now, most people will say no.
And just based on the fact that They're not even thinking it through.
I don't want anybody knowing my stuff.
I don't want anybody knowing that stuff.
And so most people will say no,
even though it makes the service better.
Why aren't you using Ask Jeeves?
Why aren't you using Bing?
If you really care about privacy, why aren't you using Bing?
Why aren't you using Firefox as your browser?
Because they don't sell anything to anybody.
Most likely because, I don't know, I just like what I have and it works for me.
And I don't use Bing because I never get the right answer.
Google always.
Why does Google give you the right answer?
They have lots of data.
They have all the data they need on you and everybody else.
Data is what powers the world.
Now,
I'm not saying that you should choose yes or no.
I'm asking you to
consider this.
This has been done to you forever.
This is not a change going and allowing them to do more.
Four months ago or so, Barack Obama said they shouldn't be able to do that.
Well, my relationship is with the private company.
Why is government regulating a private company?
I don't like government regulations as a rule.
If I don't like it, if I don't like what Google is doing, I will go to Firefox.
There are other workable solutions when it comes to an actual
way to browse, or I'm sorry, to search a search engine.
I don't think anybody comes close to Google.
But
there are other
systems that I can use that Firefox as a browser.
I've used Firefox.
It's fine.
You could do a Lecos search.
Yeah.
Alta Vista.
Alta Visto is really good.
Right, okay.
Really good.
Now, here's my point on this that I really want you to hear.
The government is, well, let me give you this from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
We are one vote away.
Now, this is earlier this week.
We are one vote away from a world where your ISP can track your every move online and sell that information to the highest bidder.
It sounds outrageous.
And that's why the government has moved in to make sure that they can't do that.
The same government that didn't even take a vote, didn't ask you,
you didn't click, okay,
I agree.
They just went and tracked your every move online and they are the highest bidder.
The government who says it's okay, we're doing this, and we've been doing this in secret for a long time.
In fact, we've been lying to you.
We told you that we don't do that.
And we tell you that we don't mine that information to be able to figure out things about you, about your friends, about the way the world works.
We just have them buried in a basement, very dusty, old.
Nobody goes down there.
I don't even know where we put that information.
Which coat pocket did I leave your information in?
We've been doing that, but
we have got to stop these damn companies that want to do exactly the same thing that we know is so bad, we hid it from you.
I'm sorry, I just don't go to the government to be the policeman.
The police are corrupt.
Are you telling me when I read this?
The ISP can track your every move online and sell that information to the highest bidder.
I would be concerned that the highest bidder would be the federal government, but the federal government doesn't have to bid for it.
They'll just force the ISP to give them anything they don't already have on you, which is probably nothing.
I am less concerned about the robbers than I am the policemen in this particular case.
Pat doesn't agree.
Yeah, I'm in a different place.
I don't like the selling of my information without my permission i know i don't like that hang on just a second i don't think you have any right to sell it to everybody else i don't like it either so uh i i i don't i don't like the bill okay so hang on just a second
um let's be careful with you don't have a right to sell the information because where do rights come from that's not a god-protected right that somebody can do business with you and then not sell your information you don't have a god-protected right on that on privacy between you and a business
don't i why not why don't i you have an assumed
compact you don't have a right
you have a right i'm not sure that's true yeah it's my stuff now if i choose to do business with google then i'm doing business with google that doesn't mean i want you to sell it to yahoo yeah but no wait wait wait hang on just a second let's not let's let's set you don't think there's a right to privacy
There is a right to privacy.
There is a constitutional right to privacy in my mind.
Right that the government, remember, the government cannot come in and just take things and spy on you.
When I do business, when I walk into a sandwich store,
I have an assumed
compact of privacy that when I walk into that sandwich store, the baker is not going to go, hey, John, Glenn walks in here every day and he eats a sandwich.
And you know what I see him reading?
I see him reading this book.
You want to sell your wares to him?
He's a target for you right now.
That I would not call the police.
That is where I would go to the sandwich maker and say, did you just tell him that I come into your store every day and I'm reading this book?
And so you told him that he should try to sell me his product because I was a prime target?
Dude, I'm not eating in your sandwich store anymore.
That's wrong.
Yeah, but everybody's going to do this now.
Now that it's okay, everybody will do it.
There'll be nobody who doesn't do that.
Right, but what I'm trying to get to is what i'm trying to get to is you do not have a right
now if you want that to stop because every sandwich store is doing that that's when you need to involve the government and say hey every sandwich store i go into i cannot go into a sandwich store without them taking my information But there are sandwich stores who are making their bread and butter saying, hey, I'm a sandwich store.
I'll never sell it.
It's not the government's place to tell
me or tell a government or tell a business to do something or to not do something that I don't like.
And I stop doing business there.
I think the market too has addressed this in some ways.
There are, as you point out, Firefox, I think Dogpile is the one that's similar to Google, but doesn't store any information.
There are other options, and they're usually only used by people who really care about these things.
And Pat, I think, is certainly one of them.
But like, you know, almost every browser today has an option for private browsing.
And you can go on private browsing and what you will get from that is the experience you're talking about.
No cookies.
They will never customize any of your searches to what you're looking for because they're not storing your data and they're not storing your searches on that.
I've done that so many times that I always leave because it sucks.
It sucks.
It's not tailored to me.
They're not tailored.
They don't know what you're looking for.
They don't, it doesn't work.
So, and again, like, I don't think, because I think there's a line between, because I think Pat's totally right in that, like, who the hell would want that to happen?
I don't, I don't want it to happen in theory, especially web searches seems even more invasive than, you know, even email, you know, because who knows what you're searching for, Jeffy, on the web.
No, seriously.
I mean, you think you say about dog pile, I think you should just name it where to buryacorpse.com.
I mean, that's what you think of when you don't want people tracking.
Well, why?
What do you have to, you know, because they could take things that, you know, you're searching for.
Think of the things that you have searched for that are completely innocent that if you took over five years
yeah right not you jeffy
you take over five years you take a hundred searches that you've done because you're reading a book all of a sudden i can make you look like a serial killer sure sure i mean and and it's it's risky i just don't know if the government should be in the business of doing that i mean because you know doing what of of
of regulating that.
That should be something that comes between the person and the company, in my opinion.
I would like a company that says to me, I would like Google, here's the real solution.
I'd like Google to come to me and say, hey,
to be able to upgrade your,
to give you the
system that you like,
we'd like to be able to sell this information to other parties.
If you don't, if you want to opt out, opt out.
I mean, not opt out.
Would you like us to, may we do that with your information to enhance your experience?
Yes, no.
I personally would like them to say, opt in and allow me to opt in.
Now, that's going to cut down the information they can sell, but so be it.
Probably still get plus.
But it's not something the government should go into any business and say,
you can't run your business that way.
You can't make money that way.
Why not?
Yeah, I mean, we don't even have a right to the internet.
So do we have a right
to have a certain browsing ability on it?
On the internet?
This is not a,
and this is the this is the real problem is Google a utility or a company
if it's a public utility well then the government's gonna regulate it all at once and I can guarantee you it won't be like Google but it will regulate all kinds of stuff because that's what governments do if it's a utility if it's a private company you don't like it go to another company We just don't like to do that because Google has gotten so good.
They give us everything we want.
We want that and our own personal things.
But our own personal things,
when we say no to that, it's what made Google Google.
It's like people moved from California.
Now like, I love Texas.
I don't know if you can do that.
They didn't make Google Google by selling it to Yahoo.
That's not what made Google Google.
Google has been selling stuff and information forever.
That may be, but I don't want them to.
Right, but
it is what made Google Google.
They sold the information to other people.
That's how they made everything free now.
They're Google because they use that information themselves.
Yes, but they do.
That's what makes them them.
But they've also sold it to people for years.
Well, they may have.
I don't want them to.
I don't think they should be allowed to do that.
You should say to Google.
Why are you saying to a private company?
This is a bizarre, a bizarre place for a group of conservatives to say that we don't care about our constituents' privacy.
Go ahead and do whatever you want with it.
That's bizarre.
I find this bizarre.
That's bizarre.
I find you saying a private company is going to be told by the federal government how to be.
Which is the things the government's supposed to regulate.
There are.
There are
privacy.
There are certain things that the government does.
Privacy.
That's one of them to me.
Privacy between you and
another
exchange that you do that has nothing to do with the government is not one of them.
Especially if you're going to the
Where is in the Constitution?
I think it is.
We have a right to privacy.
With the government.
The government.
The government.
It doesn't say that.
That has nothing to do with private industry.
That is a private contract between you and the others.
It doesn't.
I don't have a contract with Yahoo.
If I'm searching on Google.
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
Well, if you're searching with me, you're probably right.
You don't have a contract.
But you have an implied contract.
Right.
It's like when people call up to the show, their implied contract has this girl.
They might go on the air.
Right.
The Glen Beck program.
Mercury.
This is the Glen Beck program.
It's funny how
Pat and I disagree on this fundamentally, and we can't see how the other is missing.
Our main point.
He's talking about privacy, which I completely agree i have a right to privacy the the government cannot come in and take my stuff i don't want the government monitoring my stuff and i'll fight google if google wants to sell my information to the u.s government i have a real problem
i don't like the fact that google or anybody else wants to share my information but there are other companies that
won't do that.
For instance, I won't sell your information.
You go to Glennbeck.com or the Blaze.
I don't sell your information.
I don't sell my email list.
I don't do that.
It's just my personal thing.
How many people have signed up for that because they're like, you know what, Glenn won't do that?
I don't know.
It's not the, it's not the biggest thing.
People might appreciate it, but they want to have a great service.
People say they care about this stuff with private companies, but I'm not sure they really do.
And I just find it hypocritical to go to the government to protect my information from a private company when they have lied about taking my information and they have everything.
They have every phone call.
They just don't listen to it.
We all agree, I think, on that, which is it's completely hypocritical for the government to be acting as if they're so offended by it when they're all doing it.
That's where the privacy, that's why you say, hey, I have privacy.
You can't go check my library books out and see what I was looking at because it's a government entity.
The government has no right,
no right to go in or out of my life and privacy because they're building a case.
Private companies, it's an implied contract with each other that, hey, that's unethical.
I don't like you doing that.
That makes me uncomfortable when you do that.
That's where the free market comes in.
And if you don't like it, then you go and get it from somebody else.
You don't run to the government first,
at least in my opinion, when we come back, the real Democratic Party.
The Glenn Beck Program.
Look here.
The Glenn Beck Program.
The roots of the Democratic Party, which had sprung from the ashes of the Democratic-Republican Party in 1830, were deeply and unquestionably racist.
I know this is quite a statement to make, but Democrats repeatedly lied to, broke treaties with, and slaughtered Indians.
They supported slavery, fractured the nation with secession of the South, and in large measure were responsible for thrusting America into the Civil War, which cost over 600,000 lives.
The political ideology of the Democrats, however, hadn't been so radical or so destructive as their racist tendencies.
At least, not until Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson coupled the party's racism with radical progressivism.
That's why the election of 1912 was a critical turning point in the history of the party and the United States.
The incumbent was Republican William Howard Taft.
The Democratic challenger, tall and dignified Woodrow Wilson.
And taking them both on was the most formidable third-party candidate in history, former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt.
Disappointed that his hand-picked successor Taft had abandoned many of his policies, Roosevelt had actually tried to wrest the Republican nomination away from him.
He failed, and at that point, could have chosen to bow out gracefully, but this was Teddy Roosevelt.
He said, I stand at Armageddon to do battle for the Lord.
Running under the banner of the new Progressive Party, the popular Roosevelt capsized Taft's re-election bid.
But T.R.'s candidacy had an unintended consequence.
By splitting the Republican vote, he allowed the Democrat Wilson to win the White House.
While it was a former Republican Teddy Roosevelt who started and ran under the Progressive Party banner, it was Democrat Woodrow Wilson who was even more progressive than Roosevelt.
A note here, progressivism is Marxism that is accomplished without revolution, more slowly and under a different name.
The principles are essentially the same.
It was under Wilson's leadership that the Democratic Party took a huge left turn.
It had been a party that had been leery of centralized government, while Wilson pushed for and succeeded in greatly enlarging the size of the federal government, the one they were all so afraid of.
He also adopted the policy of an early Democratic progressive, William Jennings Bryan, in pushing for and this time succeeding in bringing about a progressive national income tax.
Seems we always forget the progressive part of tax.
Now up until his presidency, the United States had been free of the burden of a permanent national income tax.
It was almost universally believed to be unconstitutional.
Yet Wilson took office March 4th of 1913 and by October of that year, the United States had been fundamentally transformed and altered with a new progressive income tax.
With it came the IRS and the Federal Reserve, and America would never be the same again.
Wilson had also changed the American power structure.
Before his administration, the executive branch was, at best, simply equal to Congress.
But he made the presidency superior to Congress.
Wilson also worked really hard to fundamentally transform the United States.
Of America's original founding document, Wilson said, Some citizens of this country have never got beyond the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence did not mention the questions of our day.
It is of no consequence to us.
Americans were never meant to get beyond the Declaration of Independence.
It is inextricably linked to the Constitution and to every principle of governance that we hold dear.
It is the idea of America, while the Constitution is the framework to make that idea work.
Wilson's thoughts, however, on the Constitution were similar to his thoughts on the Declaration.
All the progressives ask or desire is permission.
In an era when development, evolution is the scientific word to interpret the Constitution according to the Darwinian principle.
All they ask is recognition of the fact that a nation is a living thing and not a machine.
In other words, all he desired was the ability to interpret the Constitution in whatever way he might deem appropriate.
In Woodrow Wilson's mind, the Constitution was ever-changing, ever-evolving, rather than a set of rights that were eternal.
With that in mind, Wilson set out his agenda.
One of his worst acts was sponsoring the Espionage and Sedition Acts.
The Sedition Act prohibited criticism of the government, armed forces, or the war effort.
This after Wilson had promised and been re-elected for keeping the United States out of World War I.
If the citizens dare violate the act and actually said, wait a minute, what did you just say?
They were imprisoned or fined.
Some 1,500 people were arrested under this law, including socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs.
As if all of that weren't enough un-American activity for one president, Wilson went so far as to have thousands of German-Americans forced into one of two internment camps that he had set up in the United States.
One of the camps was in Utah and the other one was in Georgia.
Remember, this isn't the Japanese internment.
This was two decades before.
Just a few of the notable German interns were geneticist Richard Goldschmidt, as well as 29 of the very scary and dangerous members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
The orchestra's musical conductor, Carl Muck, spent more than a year at the camp in Georgia, as did Ernst Cunwald, the musical director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
What are we afraid of?
Are they ninjas with the batons?
How, you might be asking, in a nation with a revered constitution such as America, which prohibits all of these actions, can all of this take place?
Author of Theodore and Woodrow, Judge Napolitano, sums up exactly how it happened.
Roosevelt, and I speak of Theodore, of course, and Wilson openly boasted that they were not obliged to follow the words of the Constitution, that as president, they could make changes on their own.
So you have two presidents who believe, this is a radical difference from all of their predecessors, even Lincoln, that they can, from the White House, order and direct changes, which will affect the lives of every American.
Coupled with the inaction of separate but equal branches of government, Congress and the judicial branch and the nation was thrust into a constitutional crisis that virtually nobody even noticed.
As I said earlier, the American people had been very vocal about staying out of the war in Europe, and Wilson had been re-elected in large part because he had kept America out of World War I.
Nearly as soon as he was re-elected, however, Wilson wasted absolutely no time in using the sinking of the British passenger ship the Lusitania to plunge the United States into the worst war in world history up until that time.
Wilson claimed, I am an advocate of peace, but there are some splendid things that come to a nation through the discipline of war.
The Alien and Sedition Act was one of those splendid things he had accomplished.
He was also interning American citizens behind barbed wire.
He also splendidly raised the top income tax rate from 15 to 77%.
And along the way, he re-segregated the civil service and U.S.
military.
But other than that, he was a constitutional dream.
Considering all of this, it is inconceivable to hear modern-day Democrats sing Wilson's praises or seek to be even associated with him as Hillary Clinton did several years ago.
I prefer the word progressive, which has a real American meaning going back to the progressive era at the beginning of the 20th century.
I consider myself a modern progressive, someone who believes strongly in individual rights and freedoms, who believes that we are better as a society when we're working together and when we find ways to help those who may not have all the advantages in life get the tools they need to lead a more productive life for themselves and their families.
Sure, I mean, who wouldn't be inspired by an early 20th century American progressive and comments like this one from Woodward Wilson?
The white men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the southern country.
The believer he was in the KKK, he actually premiered the movie that glorified the Klan called Birth of a Nation at the White House.
It was the first movie ever to be screened at the White House.
So given the despicable legacy of the party, it's difficult to understand the arrogance of many of today's Democratic elites, such as Hillary Clinton, who stated, Now, as Democrats, we have diverse views and backgrounds.
We are Democrats, after all.
Wow, indeed, it has been a diverse party, willing to persecute citizens of Native American, African American, Asian American, and German-American descent.
Oh, yes, and they love to hear from people of all kinds of views and background, just as long as you're in lockstep with the prevailing elites of the party.
After all, they're Democrats.
After the war, Woodrow Wilson became obsessed with entangling the United States in international laws and regulations by joining his brainchild, the League of Nations.
However, the people of the United States didn't want anything to do with it.
They instead wanted to maintain American constitutional sovereignty, and they rejected the League.
The problem is, Woodrow Wilson wasn't a guy who was going to take no for an answer.
He ignored the Senate.
He ignored the veto.
He began a rigorous nationwide campaign to try to sell to the American people, the League of Nations.
He had a whirlwind tour that turned out to be too strenuous for him and on October 2nd, 1919, Wilson suffered a massive stroke, which left him virtually incapacitated for the rest of his presidency.
I don't like to wish ill on anybody, but thank goodness that stroke happened.
But to make a bad presidency worse, His unelected wife essentially secretly ran the executive office from then on.
She was actually our first female president, and she kept the severity of his illness under wraps until the election of President Harding in 1920.
Next time, the Democratic Party of today.
Tomorrow in the Glenbeck program, in chapter four of the history of the Democratic Party, you'll learn how the party continues to cover up its racist past.
Listen live or online at Glenbeck.com/slash serials.
So, we saw a tweet come out today from Donald Trump that said it is the freedom caucus that needs to either get into bed right now or
lose
because they're going to reach out to
the left.
And let me give you this one.
This one from what's his name, Steve Bannon,
where he was talking about
Democrats and freedom caucus people, libertarians.
I think Democrats are fundamentally afflicted with the inability to discuss and have an adult conversation about economics and jobs.
They're too concerned by identity politics.
And then with the Republicans, it's all theoretical.
Cato Institute, Austrian economics, limited government.
It just doesn't have any depth to it.

David Barton and I have launched something this spring we're very excited about.
Happening this summer, if you want your kids to have a two-week internship in the historic library of Mercury One, now I want you to listen to this.
This is what we're offering.
Hands-on training.
We're looking for kids that are 18 to 25 years old.
You'll get training hands-on,
one session in June, one session session in July.
I believe it's two weeks.
I think it's two weeks.
We're opening up the library for a very select few.
All of them are going to be individually interviewed.
Not everybody's going to get in to research our original historic documents.
There will also be speakers and guest lecturers.
David Barton is running this along with his son, and I am a part of this.
You're going to have to provide your own transportation, lodging, meals, and everything else.
We have some partners that can help with lodging.
There is a $375 fee to
get into this program, but it's non-stop projects, research, and lectures all focused on our history
and the people who are directly involved with the founding of our nation.
You're going to identify the philosophies and ideologies that shaped our laws and our original documents.
You'll get biblical worldview and America's heritage with God, the truth in history and early education in America, and American exceptionalism.
And what you'll be doing is you will be actually
challenged.
Your kids will be challenged to go and find the documents to make the cases that they're most likely going to have to make in college
with their professors.
If you want to know, where did the founders actually stand on God?
Where did they stand on abortion?
Where do they stand on some of the things that we are talking about today?
I guarantee you, the professors at college will have the wrong answer.
Your kids are going to be taught the right answer and shown how to find it.
And some of their projects will be posted online in a library that will be made public soon.
More on that later.

I was in San Francisco
a few months ago.
I grew up in Seattle, Washington, and San Francisco is
very much feels, it just feels like home in so many ways.
And I happen to be listening to Journey, and there's nothing like hearing when the lights go down in the city
and the sun shines on the bay.
And you're actually
on the dock
and the sun is going down.
Perfect summer evening
as the sun is going down
in San Francisco.
Ocean breeze,
temperature hovering around 73 degrees, as it usually is.
Perfect ending of the day.
Remember those days when we were kids and
everything was just perfect.
This is exactly what the day was like
when Kate and her dad, Jim,
decided to go down to the pier
and
then just go for a quick walk and then head on over to her brother's house because her brother and
sister-in-law had just discovered that they were carrying a baby girl
and
grandpa was going to find out
and so
Kate said to her dad grandpa without knowing hey we're gonna
We're gonna go to Jim's house or we're gonna go to my brother's house and they have a surprise for you dad but let's just
go down to the pier.
The sun shines on the bay.
They were taking a stroll.
It's pier 14, full of tourists, as usual, musicians,
skateboarders.
Everybody is out in San Francisco.
And they're just,
everybody is just soaking it in.
People who are coming from all over the country, who are just taking pictures
as they look at the seals who are down by the
edge of the pier.
Everything is this idyllic summer moment,
with an exception of one thing:
the angry man with a gun.
A shot's fired from somewhere on the pier.
Kate
falls into her dad's arms.
She's been shot in the back.
Dad, confused, doesn't really even understand what's going on, except his daughter has just collapsed.
As he grabs her, he sees the blood on his hands from
her back, lays her down there on the pier.
People are screaming.
He screams, my daughter's been shot.
A passerby comes by.
Several police officers were nearby.
Nobody sees the shooter.
Nobody knows who the shooter is.
Kate,
who is the one who said, Dad.
Let's just go for a walk on the pier.
Thank God it wasn't the other way around
how as a dad you'd be able to live with yourself if you were the one who said hey before we go let's just go for a walk
she looked at her dad and just said
help me dad help me
that was the last thing she would ever say
She died a short time later after the ambulance had arrived.
They started to rush her to the hospital.
She did most of her dying on the sidewalk there
as the sun sat on the bay.
So, who's the shooter?
The shooter, you know this story.
The shooter was a Mexican national.
His name was Francisco Sanchez.
He was found about an hour later.
He was here in the U.S.
illegally.
He had been convicted of felonies seven times
in the United States.
Felony seven times.
He had been deported five times.
He was just paroled in Texas.
Admitted that he moved to San Francisco because they had a sanctuary city policy.
He wasn't going to get harassed.
That's why he moved.
Once in San Francisco, he knew he'd be sheltered by the local authorities.
He would never have to be deported or hassled again.
And so
when the lights went down on the city,
he grabbed his gun and headed for the bay.
A few months earlier, March,
he was turned over to San Francisco police for an outstanding drug warrant.
ICE
requested that they be notified prior to his release so the ICE officers could take him into custody because ICE knew that this guy was dangerous.
Felonies over and over and over again.
ICE wanted to take him off the street and send him back home, but that's why he moved there.
You got to get out of Texas because Texas kind of, sort of, occasionally will arrest you.
But being the sanctuary for illegal aliens, San Francisco police officers, they refused.
They just released Sanchez.
Quick, get out of here.
Cheese it.
It's the cops.
As a direct result of the Sanctuary City policy, let me say that again.
As a direct result of the Sanctuary City policy, Kate
will never get to see her brother's baby girl.
Will never ever get to walk down the San Francisco pier again on a hot summer night with her father's hand in hers.
Kate will never have a child of her own
because she was murdered by somebody who shouldn't have been in this country in the very first place.
Isn't that what a government is supposed to do with
all of the signs that they require people to have, like on lawnmowers, do not use on roof?
Isn't that because they're there to protect us?
So you, that lawnmower shouldn't have been on the roof in the first place.
When somebody gets a haircut haircut
because a lawnmower came off the roof because somebody was using it on the roof as a snowblower and so that's what they spend their time to protect us
because you don't know somebody might use that lawnmower as a snowblower that lawnmower has no place on the roof quick let's force them to put a sign there
Here's an illegal alien that shouldn't have been in the country,
but our government government wants to remind you that snowblowers and lawnmowers should not be used on the roof.
But our government doesn't have a problem sheltering felons.
Look.
Right now we're talking about
sanctuary cities.
And somebody asked me the other day,
how can you get people to understand
this is wrong?
I don't know anymore because some of the headlines today, hijab, now a symbol of feminism.
How is that possible?
A five-year-old has been
has been taken into custody because she was protecting the imaginary king in the imaginary kingdom with a stick, which of course we all know is a class two look-alike firearm.
So I don't know how to convince anyone.
Maybe the story of Kate convinces someone.
But just in case
you might think that this Kate story, oh, there they go.
They're taking one story out of context.
Between 2008 and 2014, 40%
of all murder convictions in Florida
were committed by criminal illegal aliens.
40%
of all murder convictions in Florida, criminal illegal aliens.
In New York, it's 34%.
In Arizona, it's 17.8%.
Overall, 38% of all murder convictions in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New York, over 38%
are all from illegal aliens who only constitute 5.6%
of the total population of those same states.
We got a problem.
You want to know why we don't have sanctuary cities?
It has nothing to do.
with the children who we all love and want to have grow up and have a better life.
We all come from immigrants.
We all came here one way or another for some reason, and it wasn't to murder people.
You want to know why sanctuary cities are wrong?
According to Texas Department of Public Safety, foreign aliens committed 611,234 unique crimes in Texas alone, including murder and sexual assaults.
Also, another study just concluded: 7,500 Americans are killed by a drunk, illegal alien driver every single year.
If we could stop just one of these things,
wouldn't it be worth it?
I don't know how to convince
people who want sanctuaries for criminals and a safe zone to silence thought.
I don't know how you convince
those people.
But perhaps you can use these stats or the story of Kate
to convince some people that have not gone over the edge into the world of magical thinking
that sanctuary cities are wrong.
We are one.

There's a story out today about San Francisco, about how the city is standing up and saying we're a sanctuary city and we are...
They're suing the Trump administration.
They claim it violates federalism
and makes their city less safe.
Both Seattle and San Francisco
are suddenly for state rights.
Is that what I'm hearing?
Yes, they are.
Okay, I thought that was racist.
I think that's very racist for them to say that
both Seattle and San Francisco are claiming that it makes their cities less safe to enforce
so ridiculous.
They claim that people won't report crimes if they're afraid that they'll be arrested uh and deported well i i can see that and it is less safe for the for the illegal aliens which is a reason why you don't come to a country illegally illegally that yes you're right if you're here illegally you won't
you won't report a crime of somebody who's done something to you.
You're right.
I've seen that in a million movies.
When you've done something wrong, the bad guys will play on you.
Yep.
Yep, that's right.
Well, and that's what happens in every case with illegal aliens.
They're taken advantage of.
Yeah.
Aren't they?
Yes, they are.
They're taken advantage of with poor wages.
They're taken advantage of in housing.
They're taken advantage of
with the law.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah, but it's true.
But they put themselves in that situation.
And somehow it's the nice side of this argument to say that that should continue.
Right.
They should be able to continually be taken advantage of with lower wages and
all of these things that are true.
Wouldn't the proper way to go is to make sure that people don't come here illegally and then you don't have to deal with that.
Yes.
That's probably the better option.
Probably the better option.
I have to see if my daughter can use the world's largest and most expensive paging system in the world.
See if Mary can, can somebody call up to Mary in the vault and see if she can find this
booklet on citizenship from 1914, 1941.
And it is the book that if you were coming in, you crossed the border and you wanted to be an American citizen, it's the book that you received.
Found something in it yesterday that'll blow your mind.
Absolutely blow your mind how far we have fallen off the tree and rolled down the street and around the corner, rolled onto a boat, crossed the ocean.
We are so far away from where we used to be.
From common sense.
I'm surprised our, you know, Dallas, Texas isn't involved in these lawsuits.
I mean, they're the same.
He's the Mayor Rawlings is doing the same thing in Dallas.
I'm sure they will be.
They all will be.
I'm sure they will be.
And I hope
that the school district did their welcoming and safe resolution.
I hope that
I hope that we have
that the Trump administration doesn't give on this.
I know.
I mean, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, we hope so, too.
We have some new couple of things on that in that they're doing.
They're now saying the White House is signaling it can live without border wall funds.
How is that possible?
White White House indicated Wednesday that President Trump could go along with a government funding bill that does not include money to begin building his proposed wall in the U.S.-Mexico border.
Again, how does that work?
Wait, I thought the wall was going to be built and it was going to be a big, beautiful wall.
Yeah, but it is.
So he's going to get the money maybe from
Mexico first.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe.
Maybe he's got that budget.
Today he officially threatened the Freedom Caucus.
These are the constitutionalists.
These are the people that we've always...
He's threatened them after the health care disaster, blamed it on them.
That is not true.
We should point out yet again.
There are more non-Freedom Caucus votes against this bill than there were Freedom Caucus votes against this bill.
That is very important for everyone to understand.
Paul Ryan and Donald Trump are going out of their way not to acknowledge that there were 18 Republicans who voted against it that were not in the Freedom Caucus and only 15 who were.
They are not telling you that because they want you to believe a narrative that conservatives are the problem.
We'll see how long it lasts, though, because there was a big story today that the people that voted against it are going back to their districts and the people are happy with them.
Happy with them.
Well, I mean, the bill was completely unpopular and it was a terrible bill, and everybody knows it.
So, I mean, I don't know if this is going to work or not.
I don't know either.
I mean, how do you attack the people that voted against it when it's, you know, the people back home are saying good.
Good.
Well, there's also the story today.
I'm looking for it.
The story today on how the, I mean, how is the
how's the how's the wall even going to be built?
And I'm reading a lot of people.
Are you talking about the wall about the park?
No, indeed.
Well, that's part of it.
Yep, there's a, there's a, uh, a, yeah, because it butts up to a park and, and they can't build it there.
Well, you can't build it near a park.
I mean, we knew that, right?
Well, the story that I had had a whole lot of.
You can't build it near a park?
What?
Come on.
You can't build it in tough places either, where there's terrain problems.
You can't build it there.
There was a story today about how much of Arizona is tough terrain.
You can't build it there.
Can't build it there.
You can't build it.
Can't build it near the water, the Rio Grande.
You can't.
Texas, that's the border.
You're not going to cede the water to them.
You can't build it there.
You can't build it there.
You can't build it in dangerous places.
Somebody could get hurt.
You can't build it there.
Yeah.
So I feel this thing, this border wall is falling apart.
And now Trump says,
well, I'll pass a budget without the border wall in it.
But we're still somehow or not.
We're going to get it there.
We're going to get it done.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
mercury
the glenn veck program
here's the latest from uh the eu the uh president of the eu just said um donald trump's been promoting brexit well let me tell you something donald trump you keep up with that talk and i'm going to start promoting the uh secession of texas and ohio whoa okay i would tell go ahead go ahead
i have nothing against
it's not going to happen though right i mean that's well i feel pretty safe because if it did, I'm in Texas, so I'm pretty cool with that.
And
nothing against Ohio.
You want to do your own thing, Ohio?
Go do your own thing.
I'm cool with that.
Brexit's already a done deal, right?
I mean, it's already done.
Oh, yeah, but they're going to try to sabotage this.
They will file the official divorce papers.
Yeah.
So that is
an ugly breakup.
The other spouse wants to stay married, and if I can't have you, no one will.
It's that kind of boil a bunny kind of relationship
on Brexit.
So
I am, I'm, I'm so, it's really interesting because we've talked about this for the last few days.
We're really to the point of like, hmm,
it's kind of like
you file, you follow a fire engine and it gets to a house, but it's not your house.
And everybody's safe.
And you're like, huh, look at that.
Whoa, whoa, look at that being
quite a fire.
Look at that.
Oh, my gosh.
The whole front of the house is about to collapse.
Whoa.
everybody's in there nobody's in there i'm kind of like that nobody's in there right right right yeah look at that dick burn yeah as long as you know nobody's gonna hurt and unfortunately in this case millions are gonna get hurt and um you know almost everyone within the sound of my voice going to be in massive pain but watching it now because you're like what are you going to do about it
Watching it now is truly remarkable.
To see Donald Trump come out today,
remember, he threw a punch to the right.
What was it, last weekend?
And everybody's like, oh, no,
no, he's going to back off of that, right?
Today, he threw another solid punch, and he told the right,
anybody who's a constitutionalist,
you're the problem.
And you get on board right now because I'm going to the Democrats.
Of course he's going to the Democratic.
He's got Ivanka.
in the White House with him as an official advisor now.
She's an official advisor.
She's a liberal Democrat.
Remember when we used to say we didn't buy two for one, and this was wrong of the president to bring his wife in?
Here we have this president bringing his,
not only his son-in-law and his daughter, who are both liberal Democrats, but doesn't he still have the head of his own private security as a head of his security over Secret Service?
Oh, I don't know.
I think he does.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's possible.
That was supposed to happen right until he moved completely out of New York.
I think that's the only thing that I've seen.
Which they have not moved completely out of New York.
And what you've seen here, I think, is a, you know, for conservatives, has been so far a mixed bag, but going in the wrong direction, trending very poorly.
Well, the one thing we've gotten so far is
still in the store.
Yeah, we should point out.
Hang on just a second.
We're the kid whose mom is around the corner and you're with dad, and you've just pulled off the Cocoa Puffs and you're like, Dad, Coco Puffs.
He's like, I'm fine with that.
Cool.
Let's put it in the deal.
Ask your mom.
Mom hasn't come around the corner yet.
You got dad there, but dad will eat the cocoa puffs with you.
That's Gorsuch.
He's our Cocoa Puffs.
When mom comes around the corner, let's see how hard dad fights for the Cocoa Puffs.
And that's really what we talked about before the election.
But we haven't seen that yet.
And we, you know, obviously hope that one comes through.
There's been other things like the Keystone Pipeline, and there's been some good environmental stuff that has happened there have been some
supporters will say that's enough that's better than hillary so that's why i voted for him and
it's a valid point but i mean while things are are going generally crappy other than that uh
they're right about that
if we get gorsuch that's huge yes yes and and and might be worth depending on how bad things get yeah might be worth four years not eight but four years of you got to be kidding me all right that's you're not repealing obamacare how can you you not repeal Obamacare?
This is an old argument, though, right?
I mean,
the bottom line is you have to judge him on what he's doing.
And I think it's fair to judge him as a Republican president.
I mean, certainly you would not accept many of the things we've seen from George Bush or Jeb Bush or any other
Germain
was attempting to do your Jackson.
Tito Marlon and Jermaine.
I mean, any of the Bushes that happen to be anything.
It's not better than Marlon, Jack Jack.
No, it's not better.
But he was the black sheep of the family.
I mean, Marlon was a sensible one, you know.
So I'm just saying.
And he has no allegiance to these policies at all.
I mean, when they had the health care
debate going on, the Freedom Caucus came in and asked for some things.
Some they got, some they didn't.
But the reason they got them is because Trump didn't care if they were in there or not.
He wanted to have something that wasn't Obamacare.
He wanted something that was his, and he could say that was a win.
He didn't care what policy was in there.
And that is the
same.
And that's why he goes to the Democrats now.
Anyone who says, well, I'm going to go to the Democrats then, you know, he doesn't care about what's in that bill.
He just wants the win.
He doesn't care.
Would anyone
who actually believes these things,
A, say, well, I'll just go to the Democrats?
Nope.
Would anyone who actually believes in small government constitutional thing
actually believe they could get the Democrats to agree to something that they liked?
No.
Of course not.
I mean, he doesn't care.
And
The Blaze just posted a story kind of changing the subject.
And this is where
we have to stop making this about a cult of personality.
I mean, that's what we have.
We have a personality cult.
Let's go back to the basics.
The Blaze just printed this story.
Roger Daltree, lead singer for the British rock band The Who, didn't miss Mince words when he came to his opinion of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Trump didn't win the election.
Democrats threw it away by putting Hillary Clinton up.
A dead dog would have won against her.
Okay?
And in many ways, if Hillary Clinton wasn't the antichrist,
as so many people believed, I mean, you could,
Hillary Clinton, Clinton, and I agree, she's the worst
and we wouldn't have gotten Gorsuch.
And you even say that after you've got $107,000 for her.
Yeah, yeah, it was $104,000.
It was $104.
And after tax, it was.
Oh, I got the other three.
Yeah, she gave you three.
She gave you three.
I didn't know.
Really?
That's unusual.
Jeffy got $275,000.
I was
to not, to not
endorse.
He saw everything.
I endorsed Jim Gilmore.
Right.
First of all,
he said, I'll pay you $275 to continue that endorsement of Jim Gilmore.
Which is weird.
It is weird.
By the way, on fake conspiracy theories, do we have time for an Alex Jones update?
Oh, I'm sure.
Oh, my gosh.
This is doing
it.
There's always time for Jell-O, and there's always time for Alex Jones.
So, what the hell happened with his Pizzagate apology?
Oh, right.
Remember, we talked about this?
This is a fascinating story.
He okay, so if you don't know, he apologized to Sonic ping pong comic ping pong comic ping pong
The pizza place the pizza place for saying that they that was the portal to an underground slave prostitution ring.
Yes, so first of all he also said Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children.
Yeah
He actually said that quote.
How he is not getting sued by Hillary Clinton for that because I let what evidence?
I guess it's a public figure, so you can say anything you want.
I mean Hillary Clinton has
children?
170 voices.
That's a list of five people.
That's a list of five.
Some of them have to be children, right?
Right.
Well, as long as they die before 24 or 27 or whenever it is.
26.
By the way, most people say now that under 30, you're still a child.
You only become an adult when you turn 30.
That's what most people under 30 now believe.
Wow.
So your dedication to the Clintons Have Killed Children
narrative, the Facebook meme that gets passed around a lot, is about the typical connection to the facts that Alex Jones has on any given story.
So he comes out and he says, but then he comes out and somehow apologizes in this really formal thing.
He was like, I used third-party materials that
now I do not believe are accurate.
And we apologize to Mr.
Alephantis and his family.
It was really like bizarre, totally out of character for this guy.
So this is how this, so on February 24th, James Aliphantis sends the letter from the attorneys and everything saying, hey, you better retract the stuff you said about me and my business.
So they know it's kind of serious.
What Jones does is the typical Alex Jones response that I didn't know he did.
He went out and posted an hour-long rambling video in front of a gold curtain, according to CNN.
I have not seen it myself.
But he says, he said that he was kind of retracting what he said after he got the letter initially.
And he said,
backed i kind of picked up with the washington post uh new york times all them said which wasn't even covering it uh everybody says a pizza place is doing this to kids everybody says a pizza place is doing this to kids and he quotes the new york times and washington post that is not at all what either of those sources said they were doing to kids and i was like we never covered it uh a pizza place i went whoa and then they're in the news diverting us from all this other big stuff He's standing in front of a gold curtain.
At one point, he begins to exonerate Alephontis.
I don't think Alephantis Alephantis over there or any of those people over there, that DC Pizza place where Podesta goes, even though they got weird acts going on there, people are like, we like kids, and that's our preference.
Yeah, we love kids.
I don't know what the hell that is.
There's a lot of weird crap going on.
This is his apology.
This is
apology.
This is the first apology.
Yeah, this is the first apology.
Then it's like, he says, it makes me think, well, what the hell is really going on over there?
We get all these threats and these letters and you know, all the rest of it, bringing up all these things, implying things we haven't done, trying to bring these things into where we covered.
When they know where this stuff comes from, it came from WikiLeaks, all the stuff from weird stuff that's in there.
Then at the end, he says, I retract that about ping-pong pizza.
And this is the best part about this.
So, again, the theory of Pizzagate is there is a network of tunnels in the basement of Comet Ping Pong where they abuse kids and they call it pizza.
This is that is the
sitcom.
Oh, based in a pizza parlor that has something underneath that is dealing in, you know,
human trafficking.
And then you pop upstairs real quick because, you know, it's a, I've got to get the cow's own out of the oven.
I would not call it comet ping pong.
No, I would not.
A, because they would probably
sonic table tennis.
Okay.
But B, the reason why you wouldn't want to call it Comet Ping Pong if you had a network of tunnels amusing kids underneath is because not only is there not a network of tunnels underneath Comet Ping Pong, there is no basement.
They don't even have a basement.
The theory is based on a pizza place without a basement where they're abusing children.
Well,
because you don't know how to get to the basement.
Well, of course, that's got to be.
They don't have one now.
So he says in the first video.
Yeah, I retract that about ping pong pizza.
There's not a damn basement.
I don't think Aliphantis is a pedophile.
I've already said that, but that's not an apology.
I'm covering this giant thing going on because of the podestas and the stuff they're involved in.
So he goes through that whole thing.
Is this before the one that he actually reads?
Yes, this is the first apology, which is important to know, which is why he's doing the next apology.
Okay, okay, I've only got a minute.
Okay, so he comes out and he gives this apology.
They're, of course, not happy with it because he's basically calling them a pedophile again.
Really?
Yeah, I don't know.
They like children, children, too much, or whatever.
Something's going on over there.
So, why did he come out with his formal apology?
Why did it happen on on that day?
Well,
it's very interesting because Texas law says if you said something and someone calls you out for a claim legally, you have exactly 30 days to publicly apologize for those actions.
So this happened right at the deadline of the 30-day
time period from the letter, which he's trying to get himself out of this lawsuit, which is, I mean, you read the quotes from Alephantis.
It's clearly coming.
I mean, they're definitely suing this guy.
Good.
But so that is what's coming up on the way, and that's why this ridiculous apology.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
