3/21/17 - Full Show

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

We're going to have the latest on the Gorsuch hearings.

Also,

the latest on wiretapping.

A woman who says, I just haven't stopped crying since she was hit with what's called the Tumblr revenge.

I

this is the

I actually feel really bad for people who are being hit by the Tumblr revenge.

And at the same exact time, I have absolutely no sympathy.

It is.

You know what?

We're going to start right there, right now.

I will make a stand.

I will raise my voice.

I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

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.

All right.

Hello, Johnny.

How are you?

Very well.

Thank you for asking.

Good.

Glad to see you.

That's Stu, our executive producer.

Of course, joined by renowned weatherman Jeffy and our sports guy Tat.

Traffic coming up on the three seasons.

Sunny day to you, Glenn.

Thank you very much.

We're going to check the weather and the traffic together on the eights every 12 minutes.

Tumblr.

The Tumblr Revenge.

Now here's the story.

What's the blog, Tumblr?

Tumblr, yeah.

Tumblr acts as if it's a staunch champion of women's rights by supporting such groups as Planned Parenthood.

Didn't know that.

But still refuses to help tackle revenge porn.

You know what revenge porn is?

Jeffy, would you like to tackle that one?

Yeah, Jeffy, let's see if you know.

What's revenge porn?

Oh, he knows.

What's revenge porn?

What's revenge porn when i uh a i can take a picture of myself and another female or male or whatever and send it to my wife and let her know that hey

or it's not revenge porn we don't even know what it is how do you not know what revenge porn no no no no you send it to your ex-wife or send it to your wife and you're like hey i'm having a good time and you're not correct or you take a picture you film your spouse or your ex-spouse having sex and put it on the internet and say, hey, this is them having sex.

I would say the traditional usage of revenge porn.

I think Jeff.

I just have an appreciation for the connoisseur over here.

Yes, he's more than one

kind of revenge porn.

He's like one of those guys, like, hey, what's your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe?

And goes into like a 25-page dissertation on how to make the cheese sauce.

It's like, are you going to be able to do that?

There's the four cheeses, and then there's the shapes of the macaroni.

He's a connoisseur.

So, let me give you the top line here, which is

if you are in a relationship and you have a sex tape, and then you break up, then you post it because you're correct okay revenge porn all right so the problem is is that tumbler is not taking this stuff down right away ah all right 27 year old bronx woman sued the blogging site in manhattan supreme court last week after a tape of her having sex with her boyfriend 10 years ago when she was 17 was posted in december and shared 1200 times The post included the woman's name and a link to her Facebook page.

She learned that the private x-rated video was on the site

strange men started contacting her through Facebook with obscene messages, which they describe and I don't need to.

I was devastated, she told the post.

I haven't stopped crying since.

Now,

this is revenge porn.

Tumblr CEO David Karp is on the board of pro-women's rights groups such as Planned Parenthood, leading a fundraising campaign that gave at least $80,000 last month.

Victims say they're outraged at the site's apparent contradictory behavior.

In my opinion, Tumblr has chose to ignore valid legal demands because

they make more money using victims' photographs as clickbait than they do protecting minors.

All right, well, I don't think just because you're giving money to Planned Parenthood means you're protecting minors.

In fact, I would make the case quite the opposite, but

especially the extreme minor.

Let me explain my

dichotomy that I'm in.

I actually feel really bad for these women who

this happens to.

And yet, at the same time, I'm like,

don't get into a porn video with your boyfriend.

Yeah, I mean, look, this is an illegal activity, right?

If you use

videos like this in this way against someone's will, that is a crime.

It's horrible.

It's horrible.

There's one story in here that there's one story here about a woman who was married and her husband husband did what Jeffy for a strange reason 52 year old mother of two discovered nearly a dozen private semi-naked images of her with her husband that had been pointed that had been posted to the site

after she lost her phone so somebody took her phone right found the naked pictures of her with her husband and posted them

Why do people feel a 52-year-old woman?

Why do we feel it's necessary to take naked pictures of ourselves and keep them on the phone?

It really is incredible, seemingly, how common this is.

Right.

Could be guys, I mean, like, I don't want any, I don't want a mirror in my house.

Okay.

I certainly don't want a mirror in my bathroom.

The only reason why we have mirrors is because of my wife.

She's like, I need a mirror.

I need a mirror.

Okay.

I don't need a mirror.

I don't want to look at me, especially naked.

I don't know how you do that, honey.

God bless you.

Everybody's created for a purpose.

Your purpose apparently includes this duty of seeing me naked with a towel around me, getting out of the shower.

I'm sorry.

Why would somebody want pictures of themselves?

Well, not everyone has the Glenbeck look, I will say.

You know, some people maybe are a little too bad.

Do you know a single woman?

Do you know a single?

Do you know a single woman that is happy with their body?

Yeah, that's, I mean, this is a fair.

Everyone says they are on Instagram.

Yeah, no, but other than that, no.

Oh, look at, look at Pat.

Well, I do.

Yes, I know one.

Shut up.

Shut up.

I have a pretty well-adjusted wife.

Shut up.

What part of the shut up didn't you get?

And shut up.

Shut her up.

Which one was it?

Which one was it?

But yeah, I mean,

but I don't, because this is a new thing, right?

There wasn't

before the, I mean, I guess it's technology more than anything else, but that does not seem like that was the line.

Like, back in the day, you had to have a camera and you'd have to go to like the photo.

You'd have to go to the camera.

Yes, you'd have to develop it.

Right.

And so no one would take these pictures, largely speaking.

I mean, I know Jeffy had sites, and before there were even websites,

there were magazines that were shared.

However, it was very rare, right?

Like, you know, to even get this stuff, you'd have to go to.

What was that like to work at a.

Think of this, because I remember going to the camera store not to even the photo mat before they had the drive-up things.

Okay.

There was a there was a

there was a photography place or a

camera store in downtown Mount Vernon that all they sold was cameras and they developed films.

And I remember

right, yeah.

And I remember going in and saying, you know, hello to Mr.

Hooper, who was either working at the camera or was.

Part of Sesame Street.

I don't remember.

But, you know, hey, Mr.

Hooper, here's the film.

And they would develop it.

Always a good job to have working at the camera store.

It must have been.

Because if you were working and developing it there, look at Jeffy.

Oh my gosh, he's turned evil.

Look at that look.

I'm just saying it was good.

He's like, if I could go back in a time machine, forget Jesus, I'm getting a job at the camera store.

But I mean, that was the, it was probably the big moment of your week if you work in the camera store when you're developing the photos and all of a sudden you see the one.

Because I remember it was, it was one of those things where you weren't supposed to look at all the pictures, but you had to check them to see see if they developed correctly wait and that was the excuse wait wait wait you've did you know no i never did it but i you know i've seen that it was a joke you've seen industrial films i've seen it no but seriously like that was those were that was a standard plot device in right teenage comedies they'd all go work at the photo store they'd find the sexy picture of the mom and that was like a standard device like but like look think at least two things as far as technology pornography for example just like watching it there was a line back in the the day that you had to go to the shady Jeffy store and go through the shady Jeffy curtains and go to the back to the place where Jeffy had like, was camping out in the weird Jeffy room in the back.

And you had to have your car parked in front of the porno store.

And no one wanted to have their car parked out in the porno store except Jeffy.

So Jeffy was the only one who generally went, right?

I didn't know I was there open for business.

Now you can get it anywhere on the internet.

And that line.

It's normalized everything.

Right.

Has solved essentially pornography's problem.

Right.

Like they're, again, as a business,

nobody wanted those.

What's the street?

Right down here.

We go down this street about 10 miles.

Five miles away.

Shockingly, it's near an airport.

Yeah.

Where there's strip clubs and porno shops everywhere.

I mean, just a horrible section of town.

Nobody wanted that in their section of town.

Now it's in your house.

Right.

So that is a bright line that people didn't want to cross to get pornography.

Now that they don't have to cross that line, they get it a lot.

And

that is understandable to me in that like you can understand the demand for it and why people would avoid it earlier.

Taking pictures of yourself, that was a camera develop, like a photo development line.

Like the line there seems to be, well, now I have a phone and I don't have to, no one necessarily has to develop the pictures, so I want to take pictures of myself naked.

Like that is, that is not my line at all.

I don't get it.

That is like, I feel bad for the the camera.

And not only do I want to take pictures of me naked, I'm going to take pictures.

Oh, I'm going to throw open my mouth.

I'm going to take pictures of me having sex.

No.

No.

No.

That's a hard pass.

That is an easy.

That is like a no-brainer, easy line to draw.

And I just don't understand why anyone...

I mean, look,

if you're watcherface, Jennifer Lawrence, like that she was involved in that scandal a couple of years ago, as Jeffy will tell you in great detail,

who is probably responsible for you.

You're up in the cloud.

But I mean,

okay, if you're Jennifer Lawrence, maybe there's a reason for you to take naked pictures of yourself.

A, you look really good.

B, you're half naked in movies in front of a lot of people.

Maybe this is something that would be important to you.

I don't know.

I'm not in that world.

But I mean, for the average person, why the hell would you ever do this?

Have you looked at the average person?

Right, we're awful.

We really are bad.

Pat's disgusted by this entire conversation, aren't you?

I really am.

Yeah, I'm quite uncomfortable.

Why are you uncomfortable?

Harsh for this time of morning, I think.

All right,

all right,

we'll move on then.

I will save it for later.

The man,

I only read this story because it used the word cuckold in the right

way.

In the right way.

You know how it always is like, you know, conservative cuck, conservative cuckold.

Shut up.

But I saw cuckold stands by wife after sex with a 14-year-old.

And it just because it used the word cuckold in the right way.

This is the craziest story.

We are one.

The Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

So we got to have this guy on

from

theresurgent.com.

Mark Giller.

Wrote this really good article about you.

Yeah, he's coming up in a few minutes.

And I was afraid at first it was going to be ugly.

Glenn Beck rebooted, because it usually is.

It's never usually any good.

It's funny.

No one ever likes your current thing.

Like, you're always like, everyone is always saying, Glenn Beck is onto this new thing.

I used to like him last time, but they never say it when they liked you last time.

They never say this.

This is amazing.

Listen to this.

Let me start by saying, I miss the old Glenn Beck.

No, not the Glenn Beck firebrand or the Glenn Beck Christmas sweater guy or the Glenn Beck Time magazine coverboy giving the raspberry to his detractors of the left.

The Glenn Beck I actually miss is the one that I used to hear on 970 WFLA in my home market of Tampa Bay, where he started his talk radio phase of his career.

I have to tell you, I miss those days too.

We could never do those days.

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

Those days of radio are gone forever.

When you did local radio and tap and I was in Houston and the things we did then,

we'd be off the air.

You would call me all the time and be like, holy cow, I can't believe.

Yeah, I know.

It was a different world.

It was.

It was.

I can remember listening to that very first show, not quite knowing what to make of it.

And to be fair, the sound of things, neither did he.

It's true.

Uh, as time passed, and

developing, yeah.

Well, I remember, do you remember how I started my first show?

Uh, program director came in, and for the first break, trust me, yeah, Jeffy does.

Jeffy was there.

Do you remember the first words, Jeffy?

I kind of do.

It was something like, I think I've made the biggest mistake of my life.

Those are exactly,

yeah.

I had something else planned.

I forgot to say that.

And I opened up the mics.

Yeah, I opened up the mic and I said,

Hi, my name is Glenn Beck, and this is my first day on the job, and I may have made the biggest mistake of my life by coming here.

And I did this monologue off the top of my head, and we went into the break, and the program director came in, and she's like, what the hell are you thinking?

And I'm like, I'm not.

I'm just, I'm just going with it.

I'm just going with the flow.

She's like, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard anybody do.

Anyway, so he talks about the schlub club bits were hilarious, especially members of the Presbyterian church called in to stir the pot for those who weren't in on the joke.

His alter ego Flap Jackson could have given Tony Clifton a run for the money.

Those were good times.

He talks about in this, did you guys make it to the end of this story?

Yeah, yes.

Yes.

The last paragraph, he says, We can admire Glenn.

He goes on to talk about how, you know, you're kind of reaching out.

We're trying to be,

I don't know, bringing people together instead of dividing people.

He says we can admire Glenn for being the first to say enough and take a stand against it.

But until he finds honest partners on the left who are willing to share the risk and stand with him, I'm afraid his efforts will be doomed to fail.

I mean,

that's a good point.

That's what I think pretty much everybody believes

is that we won't find anybody on the left, although we have already.

We've found Riaz.

We found Samantha B.

There's a few people.

He makes a case on Samantha B that, no, we haven't.

He doesn't talk about Riaz in this.

No.

and he's a he's a good partner on the left he he really is and i i understand the unilateral disarmament thing because i i never wanted the united states to do that when the soviet union wasn't going to but this is different this is i mean we're at the point you actually coming apart at the seams you actually have become a believer in this where you weren't a year ago uh-huh

yep And I think it's because we're seeing it work from the inside.

You're not seeing it yet.

And like he says here, we're so tired of politics.

I mean, that was a brutal last year that we just suffered through.

I just said to Pat when we went off the air, I said, Pat, I'm sorry.

I didn't, I really, I don't think I've seen Pat that uncomfortable since our morning show days.

And I said, I'm sorry.

I always like the morning show days.

Right.

I said, I didn't see that making you uncomfortable.

I'm sorry for that.

And he said, no, not a problem.

And I said, I'm just so tired of leading with politics.

I don't want to talk about

politics anymore.

I just don't want to talk about it.

I mean, you know, it's important and we'll obviously cover what we have to.

No, yeah.

I mean, we have, you know, we have Kelly Shackelford.

I want to hear,

I want one

distilled take on what happened.

I don't want to chew on it for four hours or three hours.

Yeah.

And I think so much of it just gets into this sort of we cover sports vibe.

Like it's like, oh, well, this is the thing that, like, last night's game played out like this.

This team won and this team's losing.

And we need to look see, this team needs to change this so they can win next time.

And like I find that to be very interesting in sports for some unknown reason.

But with politics, it just seems so meaningless.

It's just, you know, these, you know, these people are,

you know, overwhelmingly just shallow and it's not, it's nothing real.

In sports,

you a lot of times, not occasionally, a lot of times find people of amazing talent.

In politics, you never find people of amazing talent unless it's a talent that you,

no mother ever said, oh, when you grow up, you'll have this talent.

You know what I mean?

Like Carrie Reid and lying, for example.

Right.

Right.

He is good at that, I guess.

Yeah, but I'm not impressed by it.

And you're like, okay, well, I didn't, I don't admire people for being slimy.

At least on sports radio, you could go, look at that talent.

I mean, that's, that's God-given talent.

Back in a minute with Mark Giller.

The Glen Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Let's go to Mark Giller, who is joining us now.

He's from theresurgent.com, and

he wrote an article called Glenn Beck Rebooted.

And Mark, good to have you on.

Hey, Glenn, thanks.

I appreciate being on.

You bet.

I appreciate

the spirit of the article, and it's nice to actually talk to a fan who has been a fan literally from the beginning.

Yeah, actually, it's kind of interesting because when I read the Washington Post profile that inspired the article in the first place, I hadn't really intended to go down that direction.

But when I sat down to actually start writing it, a lot of memories of the show back in the old days on 97WFLA just came rushing back to me and I just sort of started pouring out to me and it kind of turned into this very, very long introduction.

But, you know, once I started rolling with it, I was having so much fun with it.

You know, just talking about the Presbyterian church.

I love

the gags that you used to do.

Those were

yeah, we, we, you know, for anybody who doesn't know what the Schlub Club was, I used to pit the four o'clock audience against the five o'clock audience.

And I would tell the four o'clock audience that, you know, they were the real audience.

The five o'clock audience, they were the schlubs.

They were the people that just stroll in.

Oh, I'm working.

I can't listen.

And so let's screw with them.

And so we would plan, we would plan something all hour.

And then I would set up the calls.

So when the next people, when the people got off of work, they would just turn on the radio and they would start hearing these crazy people calling in.

And by the end of the hour, they would be like, I live in an asylum.

And all these people would, you know, that didn't, weren't in on it, would call in and go, are all of these people crazy?

And that was the funny part, too, because I was actually one of those schlubs at first because I didn't get off board until five o'clock.

So, again, I'm driving across the Howard Franklin Bridge going home and listening.

It's like, what the heck are these people?

I couldn't believe it.

It just got so off the chart.

I was like, all right, this has got to be updated.

And I eventually figured that out.

So I was in on the joke at that point.

And I just, I couldn't wait to hear those every single day.

Yeah, no, they were great.

They were great.

We've never been able to do them because we don't know how to divide.

We didn't know how to divide the show up because some stations, because of time zones, shuffle the hours.

And I remember,

do you remember, Stu, were you with me when I did I'm in love with my sister?

Yeah, you were with me.

Do you remember that, Mark?

I don't remember that one.

Okay, so I remember advising you not to do that.

Yeah, I did this whole hour where I built it up and I said, listen, I want you to know I'm going to talk about something that I've never shared before.

And I did this really heartfelt monologue of the first time I fell in love.

And I'm not going to be ashamed of it anymore.

And it was up on the Ferris wheel when I was a kid and I kissed my sister.

And

that's so disturbing.

Yeah.

And

it was a whole thing to see if I could sway the audience

to defend

brother-sister love

and got them there until the end I was supposed to then come in and say,

okay, so here's the thing.

I'm just making a point here that I can get you to believe anything if I if I put enough if you don't have principle.

I mean it's the same points that we're making today.

Correct.

If I give you enough love stuff and heart stuff you're gonna fall for anything well unfortunately it was when i was first starting syndication and uh president bush had to give a speech about 9-11 and the affiliates all dropped off literally at the explanation So for 24 hours, I had affiliates calling saying, we are not running this show ever again.

So anyway, so your point here, the reason why I wanted to get you on is your point say you can admire Glenn for to be the first to say enough and take a stand against it, but until he finds honest partners on the left who are willing to share the risk and stand by him,

I'm afraid his efforts are doomed to fail.

Tell me about that.

Yeah.

Well, it was kind of mostly inspired by what had happened with Sam B.

Because

I heard the segment that you had her on your radio show when I was driving out to Orlando.

And I thought, well, you know, I've I've never been a big fan of Samantha B.

You know, obviously I'm a creature of the right myself and, you know, kind of think she, a lot of her opinions are kind of full of it.

But listening to that, I thought to myself, all right, well, you know, this is worth a try because it's kind of akin to some of the things that I've tried to do in mostly my online dealings with people, especially since I've gotten more into political blogging and whatnot.

You can get into arguments with people, but my philosophy was always to be to, all right, I'm not going to be able to persuade people by putting them down, making them feel stupid, calling them names.

And I always tried to deal with them in a respectful kind of way.

So when I heard you and Samantha going back and forth and talking to each other about how we need to change the tone and how we converse with one another, I did respond to that.

But a couple of weeks later, she's on her show and she's comparing this poor cancer survivor at CPAC to a Nazi because of his haircut.

And it just kind of really struck me because I thought, well, you know, if she really took it to heart, the conversations that you had and she really, really wanted to go ahead and change the tone, she wouldn't be doing that kind of thing.

And it just kind of concerned me because, you know, I'm very, a big believer in the effort that you're trying to do here.

And I think you're taking, obviously, a tremendous career risk,

potentially alienating people in your audience.

I know you're probably getting a lot of names being called, you know, particularly from the right, about being in sellout and whatnot and trying to coddle the left and whatnot.

But, you know, I do believe that we have to start someplace.

But I'm just really concerned about...

partnering up with the wrong people who aren't really taking it to heart and who are maybe just using this as an opportunity to promote themselves instead of actually really starting a dialogue and trying to make the conversation more civil between the left and the right.

So, I'm thinking, and Mark, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your attitude and your approach on this.

We've talked about this for a long time, and we believe we're going to have to kiss a thousand frogs before we find one prince.

Because it is difficult to.

I was just on with Tavis Smiley, it airs on PBS, I think, today or tonight, or something.

And

he said,

So,

why aren't you having more success with people?

And I said, that's my question for you, Tavis.

Now, he was very, very open and,

you know, but he has kind of a softer attitude anyway.

But

he said, so why do you think it is?

And I said,

because

I'm not sure that

he said, actually, he phrased it this way.

Is it because people aren't self-reflecting because perhaps there was nobody this is a quote quite as bad as you

and i said

well

uh okay that's one way to look at it or

did i take it you never listened to michael savage right or or

you know it is it that people don't want to look at themselves it's easier to look um

uh elsewhere.

And

I could tell you that there are people people that, you know, let's look at Bill Maher,

even Samantha B, that have said some really difficult things

about

people on the right.

Are they looking?

Are they looking inside of themselves?

I don't think so.

It's easier to look outside.

So it requires somebody to be humble enough to say, what part did I play in this?

Yeah, well, that was another aspect of the WAPO article that kind of set me back a little bit as well too, because the tone of it was all, you know, here's Glenn Beck, he's trying to hug his way back into bringing America back.

I thought that was an unfair article, by the way.

I thought it took some things,

some liberty with some things that was not the right tone.

But anyway, go ahead.

Yeah, well, the thing that struck me about that was that

it proceeded from this assumption that it was all your doing,

or you can extrapolate that to it's all on the right side of the political spectrum, where all the hatred is coming from and where all the acrimony is coming from.

And that is not the case at all.

And

yeah, if the author, Mark Fisher, had seen fit to balance it out a little bit and maybe seeking out some people on the left and talking about how they've contributed to the overall corruption of how we talk to each other and how we think of each other in this country.

I think it would have been a heck of a lot of people.

I will tell you, Mark, that you're right on the money, and I am waiting for somebody to do that.

And so far, nobody is willing to do that.

Everybody's willing to dogpile, and I keep waiting for somebody to say, hey, wait a minute.

Well, again, though,

look at what's happening to you.

But look at what's happening to you in your attempts to do this.

I mean, I can't even imagine the amount of hate mail that you get over just this particular subject.

That's just for me.

Even since I posted this article, I've been getting a few hate tweets myself.

You know, I'm just Joe Nobody who writes an article on the internet.

So I can't even imagine what that would be like magnified a millionfold like what you're dealing with here.

And I think that people on the left, particularly those who make their living in the media and they have this image that they have to uphold, are thinking the same thing and saying, holy crap, I don't want that happening to me.

I want to give my audience what they want.

And that's kind of what I think what Samantha B was doing when she was doing her Nazi shtick with CPAC attendees is that, oh, well, maybe she got a few hate tweets of her own off of, you know, appearing with Glenn Beck or having you on her show and thinking, well, I got got to go throw a bone out here to my listeners or my viewers and let them know that I'm not being going all soft on the right.

And that's that's problematic.

Talking to Mark Giller of The Resurgent.

And Mark, I was fascinated by that point because you're right.

I mean, it was a cheap joke at the expense of some guy at CPAC.

Now, it turns out that the guy has cancer, and there was a lot more to the story, but she didn't know at the time.

And it wasn't her joke.

It was the...

It was a some correspondent, right?

He was a correspondent.

But I mean, I was interested in seeing your article because you talked about the days of 970 WFLA, the mothership of this particular show.

Yep.

And, you know, those are great times and they were really funny, but also really harsh.

They were marshal.

And we a lot of times made fun of the appearance of somebody on the left.

And we joked and made all sorts of things like that.

It was a harsh show for laughs.

And I remember at the time, Glenn saying, in comedy, there's always a victim.

There's always a victim.

We should always just make the first victim ourselves.

And so that was the way we ran the show.

But I mean, her joke,

is that just a funny line that we should all just be able to get over?

Or is it really some attack that shows that she's not being an honest partner in whatever is trying to be done here?

Well, you know, I mean, I love to employ humor in the stuff that I read as well, too.

And, you know, God knows that

Twitter being the medium that it is, it just lends itself to snark.

And I've definitely been guilty of doing that myself from time to time.

Although I've never called anybody a commie or a pinko or anything like that.

But yeah, and I, you know, but I do, I really, one of the things about the mean culture that we have right now is that, yeah, it does make it increasingly difficult to make even good jokes and to laugh at each other because everybody's taking themselves so damn seriously.

It's very, very difficult to do.

And I think that, you know, if maybe the way we react to things like the Nazi joke on Samantha Beast's show is Because we on the right have taken a position

so much from the popular culture where we're always cast as the funny duddies.

We're always cast as the ones who want to get in everybody's bedrooms and we don't want you to have fun and whatnot.

When really, a lot of that's actually what's going on in the left these days.

And it's just, you know, I guess it just makes us really mad because we've been the butt of jokes so many times.

And that

leftists

really typically have an extremely difficult time laughing at themselves.

So, you know, I think maybe that's where we are.

I tell you, Mark, when somebody actually hears, really hears what you just said

on the left, when they really hear you,

things will change.

But they don't so far.

I've been trying, and they don't hear that message yet.

But once they do, I think we can come together.

I do hope that that is the case, because

my fondest wish in our politics is that we stop yelling at each other and actually start talking to one another instead.

But the way things are right now, it's all emotion.

It's all id.

It's very little debating the actual facts.

And I think that's

how we came to that.

Obviously, we've got mainstream media that's out there stirring the pot as well, too, because it's gets some clicks and it gets some views.

People are screaming at one another.

Washington's happy with that because they can get away with whatever they want to get away with because people are distracted with minutiae rather than taking a look at the real big issues and things that are really affecting them on a day-to-day basis.

So you do have this entrenched power structure that's in place that has a vested interest in keeping us at each other.

So yeah, it's going to be really tough.

I only have about 10 seconds.

What I really wanted to ask you was you said, well,

I think it's doomed for failure.

So do I continue or do I not continue?

No, it's only if you get the wrong partners that it's doomed for failure.

An interesting thing about what you were mentioning about Riaz, your friend as well too, is that maybe he's going to be more of an honest partner because he's less of a celebrity.

So he's got less of a reputation to

uphold, I guess, with his audience since he's kind of more a behind-the-scenes type guy.

So I think maybe you might be more productive with that.

And

going back to the last segment, maybe you ought to watch How to Look Good Naked.

All right, man.

Thank you so much.

God bless.

Update on what happened with Gorsuch yesterday with Kelly Shackelford.

He's going to be on with us every day and kind of give us an update on what to expect.

Did you see?

I mean,

this is the thing that I just want to stop.

Play a little of Gorsuch.

Okay, listen to his testimony.

His name was Increase Sumner.

And written onto his tombstone over 200 years ago was this description of the man.

As a lawyer, he was faithful and able.

As a judge, patient, impartial,

decisive.

Okay, stop.

Doesn't he sound like, I mean, this is like a book on tape.

Yes.

Yes.

It's a terrible delivery.

And also, the stuff he lists that was on the tombstone, either that's a really small font or that tombstone is gigantic.

Okay, so,

but he's so calm and cool and collected.

And what is Chuck Schumer?

Yeah, right.

That's what you want.

What did Chuck Schumer come out?

Calls him a radical, says it's time that we rise up in the streets, calling for chaos.

I mean, I've just had enough of it.

I've just had enough of it.

Yeah.

So, as Cruz said, none of them said a word 10 years ago when he was confirmed as a judge.

Not one word.

Not one word.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Well, welcome to the program.

We're going to get right to it.

Supreme Court yesterday, what happened?

The audio and analysis begins right now.

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.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Let's go right to Kelly Shackleford and find out what happened yesterday.

If any minds were changed,

if any of the Democrats softened or if they look like they're going to follow follow Chuck Schumer when he calls for chaos, welcome to the program, Kelly Shackleford.

How are you?

Good.

Great to be on with Glenn.

Kelly has all of the information at TrumpNominee.com, TrumpNominee.com, where you can follow it, see the videos,

and get all of the background on Gorsuch.

What'd you think, Kelly?

You know, what I expected, a lot of preening, speeches given by senators, and really today is when it started.

It's already started the hearing and that's when they're going to try to catch him and then of course they dropped their bomb that what they thought was the best they could do today NPR dropped a story attacking him having some student that was in his class making claims that now all the other students are coming out and saying are false but what were what were the claims

He teaches a class at the University of

Colorado Law School, and they said that in the class that he, this one student said that he had said something about uh women taking advantage of maternity leave uh in the workplace.

And a number of other students just totally disputed that.

It's an ethics class, and he was talking about the different things that people are pressured by, uh and he gave that and amongst many examples and then gave the arguments and counter arguments for both sides.

But uh the the attacker that was used by NBAR didn't bother to say that.

So they're th you know, th they really don't have much on him, so the attacks are very weak, and they almost always fall apart within seconds.

But that's, you know, I think their only hope is during the questioning and answering, you know, which just started already today, that they can catch him saying something.

Otherwise, I think they're really in an uphill battle.

I was looking at the article you mentioned, which I had not seen, Kelly, from the NPR, which begins now with this.

Editor's note.

Since the story was first published, we have added material from another former student and former law clerks of Gorsuch, as well as more information about Jennifer Sisk's political affiliations.

And those political affiliations are: she used to work for a Democratic senator.

That's the person who is accusing Gorsuch of this, a staffer of Democratic Senator Mark Udall of Colorado.

Wow.

So, I mean, this is nonsensical.

And they have 11.

Well, first of all, it's in an ethics class.

Of course, you're going to say things that are unethical.

In an ethics class, you're exploring ethics.

The Socratic method is kind of what you do when you're teaching these kinds of classes.

And by the way, one of the people who came forward supporting

Judge Gorsuch was a very liberal Democrat student who totally disagreed with what NPR was saying.

And so I guess that's why they're updating it.

They've even got people who are on the far left wing.

I do find some irony in the fact that NPR,

meanwhile, we have President Trump cutting

some of the money to

NPR and these types of groups, and here they are, a somewhat government-funded entity that is attacking

somebody to be on the Supreme Court.

I don't know, there's something really bizarre about all of that, and I think it gives extra credence to why maybe government money shouldn't go to groups who are going to do that.

Let me ask the question that was asked to me over and over again yesterday was

how nasty is this going to get?

Is this going to go to the nuclear option or not?

And I think we touched on this yesterday.

I can't imagine they're going to do that

because he's not.

I mean, if you listen to him yesterday, he's a very reasoned, soft-spoken.

He sounds like books on tape.

He's just not that kind of a caricature that I think the American people will be afraid of.

And, you know, Chuck Schumer yesterday was calling for chaos in the streets.

I mean, this is nuts.

I agree with you, Glenn.

I think he's, they can't make him a bork.

They can't make him somebody who, you know, the image they want to create for him just doesn't work because he's a humble person.

He's a restrained person.

He's got 3,000 opinions.

He's got liberals that are endorsing him because they just think he's such a good person.

You know, one of Obama's head solicitor general came out and endorsed him.

So you've got all these people that recognize what anybody does when you look at him, which is he's not this monster that they'd like to create.

So I think they're in a struggle, though.

I think the base really wants these Democratic senators to bring out the knives.

And so I think that's why we see them saying some of these outrageous things.

But when it comes, push comes to shove, you've got all these senators who are in states that were carried by Trump.

And when they vote, that could cost them their seat because their seat is coming up.

You know, a third of the Senate's coming up in this next election.

And a number of those were carried by Trump, those states.

So

I don't think we are going to see the filibuster.

Now, I think many conservatives kind of hope we do, because if there is a filibuster, it's so unreasonable in in this situation that I think most people think that they will use the nuclear option, what they call the nuclear option, and just change the rules and say, okay, there's no need for a filibuster.

This is abusive.

And then that will make the way for the next time when it is going to be a huge battle about who controls the court not using the filibuster.

So many people kind of hope they do overplay their hand, but I just don't think they will.

So, Kelly, do you think that the American people are going to sit through it?

For instance, what Schumer is talking about is he said, you know, this is all the stuff that's going on with Trump.

And he brings up,

he ends up with immigration reform.

And he said, you know, if this, if this isn't solved, you know, you want to build the wall, maybe

we should say, we're going to shut down the government.

This is a quote: we're going to shut down the government.

We're not going to raise the debt ceiling until you pass immigration reform.

Well, wait a minute.

That is exactly what they said was irresponsible and, you know, was anti-government.

Do you think people are even going to remember that?

Or do you think people

will call bull crap on both parties for playing this game?

I think at this point, I think people

voted for...

some pretty dramatic change.

They felt like the government was broken and they wanted to see something get done.

So they,

you know,

they did something pretty drastic.

And I think somebody just obstructing for obstruction's sake doesn't go over well right now.

I think that's the sort of politics that people are tired of.

So, I think that I really think that people like Schumer are playing to their base, which want them to do this kind of thing.

But I think with the regular American, it's not something they like.

And again, they look at Gorsuch and they think, this is the kind of guy I want on the court.

He's very mild-mannered.

He seems to just want to do the right thing, follow the law.

So I think they're going to have a real hard time.

I'll tell people, Glenn, watch for themselves.

Go at Trumpnomine.com or we've got our website there.

The first link is just watch the hearings.

And I think you'll see pretty quickly why they're having a hard time.

But that's their only hope, again, in my opinion.

Their only hope is to catch him in something in these hearings.

And again,

I think that would be a surprise to a lot of people, but that's i think what they're hoping for knowing that otherwise their arguments really do seem to fall apart whenever they even start because they just don't have much anything in particular we should watch for today

um i just watched watch the democratic senators obviously the republican senators are going to say nice things prop him up uh do that i i watch the democratic senators and see you might have some asking about judicial philosophy which might be very educational to people but i think the the real thing is going to be the democratic senators are going to try to go after him him.

They're going to try to force him to state where he stands on abortion and on a number of issues, which I would guess he's not going to answer because judges typically don't answer about policy issues that might come before them.

They would want to see the facts of a particular case, and so they don't want to prejudice themselves or look like they're prejudiced.

So my guess is they're going to try to force him to answer and they're going to complain and he's...

He's not going to take debate, and we're going to have a couple of days of this, and then eventually in, what, three weeks, four weeks, or whatever, I think we'll have Gorsuch on the court.

Great.

Kelly, thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

Kelly will be watching this for us and back on tomorrow.

Trumpnomine.com.

Trumpnomine.com.

Anything stick out to you, Pat, yesterday?

I know that

Ted Cruz was strong on this yesterday.

Yeah, I really liked what he had.

He's always good in these settings, too.

A decade ago, Judge Gorsuch was confirmed by this committee for the Federal Court of Appeals by a voice vote.

He was likewise confirmed by the entire United States Senate by a voice vote without a single Democrat speaking a word of opposition.

Not a word of opposition from minority leader Chuck Schumer.

Not from Harry Reid or Ted Kennedy or John Kerry.

Not from Senators Feinstein, Leahy, or Durbin, who still sit on this committee.

Not even from Senators Barack Obama, Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Joe Biden.

Not a one of them spoke a word against Judge Gorsuch's nomination a decade ago.

Yeah, but the problem is, nobody cares about that now.

I mean, no Democrats care that they said nothing then, and now he's all of a sudden a horrible radical.

This happens every single time.

You're just on the other side of the fence now, so anything goes.

If they were trying to stop a filibuster, that would be the worst thing in the world, even though they just did it.

If they use the nuclear option, that would be the worst thing in the world, even though they just did it.

I mean,

it's so frustrating.

And

this is why we don't like the process.

It puts us in a bad mood every time.

Yeah, I think this is why people have said enough is enough.

And enough is enough.

If Schumer does

decide to say at some point, you know what?

We're just going to shut down the government.

And

let me give it here.

We'll shut down the government.

We won't raise the debt ceiling until you fill in the blank.

And remember when

the Republicans were going to shut down the government?

It was chaos.

It was hostage taking.

Yeah, right.

And they were delivering a severe blow to the economy.

That's what they were saying.

Hostage taking is not governing.

It's pretty amazing.

I mean, we've seen it over and over, and yet every time it happens, I'm still like, really?

You can still think you can get it.

We have audio tape.

I don't know if you know that.

I don't know if you know this, but that's what the right is doing, too.

I mean, I know.

We have audio tape.

We have audio tape of.

They don't care.

Yeah.

It all may be a moot point because North Korea is going to blow us off the face of the earth anyway.

You see their latest propaganda piece.

Blew up a U.S.

aircraft carrier.

Can we?

We're done.

Threatened to reduce us to

the killer.

Well, yeah, Kim Jong-un said if we fire one single bullet their way, one single bullet from either us or South Korea, they're going to wipe us off the face of the earth.

They're going to reduce us to ash.

Rivers of blood.

Rivers of blood reduce us to ash.

It's frightening.

It's frightening.

They scare me more every day.

I don't know if you're serious or not.

I'm really not.

Okay, all right.

I'm really not because they have have a great I am I worry about the EMP and I think we talked about this yesterday they have that capability they have 20 nuclear warheads so they're just that war only takes three only takes three EMPs three EMPs so but you know you can explode a nuclear weapon way up in space right so if they have you're worried about the EMP an EMP is a side benefit of a nuclear weapon.

So they just have to launch three missiles,

get them over the United States, explode them above us, and it knocks everything out.

Two words, preemptive strike.

Yeah, and I'm not sure if that might not be good.

That's probably not

advisable.

They've got to be able to shoot the rockets that far.

Right now they can't get it past

the islands.

Have you guys heard of the X32A or B or something?

Have you ever heard of the X-32?

Sounds like a shirt size.

X-32.

No, I don't know what it is.

Stu, have have you ever heard of the X32?

No.

Google it.

Just Google it real quick.

I think it's X32.

See what comes up.

A digital mixer.

Okay, no, that's not X32.

X32, Boeing X32?

Yes.

Okay, that's.

Currently up in space.

Been up in space.

Experimental stealth fighter.

Okay.

No, no, no.

No, no.

This is the one up in space.

There's one up in space, like the X35 then or I don't know what it is.

This is no idea what you're talking about.

No, I saw this this weekend, and I couldn't believe it.

What's it supposed to do?

It's up in space.

It's a secret space shuttle.

Why, really?

And it's totally

robotic, and it's been up in space for like a year, and they don't know, nobody will say what it's doing.

What the hell is it doing?

Did you even do it?

It's been up there.

The X37B.

Is that what it is?

X-37B.

It's up there continually for a a year?

It's been up there for a year.

What?

X-37B.

It's been living in a plane for a year.

No, it's all

nobody's in it.

It's all robotic.

Oh, wow.

But it's enormous.

Wow.

And they don't know what it's doing up there.

Is it telecommunications?

Is it new defense?

What is this space plane doing up there?

I'm on the internet.

Watch Atlas V rocket launch top secret X37B space plane.

If it's on the website, I don't think it is top secret.

Right.

But you know what?

They're doing it out in open.

We're so dead inside to, oh, it's rocket, space, secret plane, whatever.

We don't even pay attention.

I saw that story and I'm like, what the hell?

I didn't even know we had an X-35.

Right.

So

X37B.

The X program has been bounced between several different federal agencies, NASA among them, since 1999.

The plane has been in space for a total of 674 days, far more than its two previous flights, which lasted 225 and 469 days.

Oh my God.

What?

Right?

This is the first time I've heard of it.

Me too.

Right now.

It's like we aren't paying attention to anything.

We have been arguing about so much crap.

What has the government been doing while we are sitting here arguing amongst ourselves?

I'm glad it's ours rather than me too.

North Korea or Russia.

China or North Korea.

I agree.

Just made me think of it when you said about sending the missiles out.

Well, I don't know.

What the hell is a space plane?

There is speculation that it might be a missile defense plane, but we don't know.

Yeah, the speculation in this article is that it's some sort of just spy plane.

So it's up there doing some sort of surveillance.

Yeah, they said

it's a platform for testing reusable spacecraft technologies for America's future in space and operating experiments, which can be returned to and examined on Earth.

But you know, it's much more than that.

Yeah, well, it's top secret.

Yeah.

If that's what it was doing, why would it be top secret?

That's pretty amazing.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

We have Conan's guy in today.

He's hanging out with Doc Thompson, who does the morning show on the Blaze Radio Network.

And he's the guy who does the Trump, probably the best Trump

next to what's his face.

You know, I beat my family up guy.

Oh, I think he's

a little bit better than Alex.

I mean, Alec is bowling for accuracy.

Yeah, he's just a caricature this guy really does trump i mean he's really good

he's good this should be fun yeah he's completely bald did you notice that i did maybe that's why the hair works because when you see him with the hair you're like it looks just like trump's hair well maybe trump is actually really bald no he says he's not no he's not and he wouldn't lie the thing about trump is when he says something he sticks to it he'll never lie to you you're right

he said that he'll he'll never lie to Well, if you don't take him seriously.

Or literally.

Or wait.

Wait, I don't remember which one it is.

Lately, I've just been not taking him at all, and it seems like a good solution for me.

Back in just a second.

The Glen Beck Program.

Hey, coming up in a little while, we're going to tell you the story about BuzzFeed and how they debunked something the Democrats were doing.

You want to talk about fake news, huge fake news story debunked by BuzzFeed.

We'll get into that here in just a second.

Our serial this week is really kind of important because it is all about the war on women, and this is what they're trying to do to Gorsuch: make him look like the enemy of women.

So, let's delve in all this week on the actual war on women.

There was a revolutionary war, the war of 1812, the civil war, World War I and World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Desert Storm.

But the longest-running war in the history of this planet is the war on women.

I mean, if we're to believe the media and the left.

And it is being waged exclusively by people like you, the right.

Some, including a number of women, are not even aware that there is a Republican war on women.

Actress Lisa Kudreaux, for example.

Do you feel that the Republican war on women is still an important issue to voters?

The Republican war on women?

That's what it says.

Do you feel that the Republican war on women is still an important issue to voters?

There's a Republican war on women?

The answer, Lisa, is no.

There is not a Republican war on women.

So bless you, that even an actress in the leftist world of Hollywood hysteria, she was so very unaware of this nonsensical, non-issue.

Yet, Bill Maher attempts to explain the concept to her.

Well, you know, I think he's referring back to, now this is something the Republicans did improve upon.

I must say, back in 2010, they were the legitimate rape people.

They could not stop talking about ladies' private parts.

Consider that quote for just a minute.

Back in 2010, they were the legitimate rape people?

Being legitimate rape people would certainly seem to imply that you've legitimately actually raped someone, wouldn't it?

Instead, Mar alleges that what made them legitimate rape people was that they could not stop talking about ladies' private parts.

First of all, call me crazy, but I consider talking a separate and distinct issue from actually raping.

In reality, what took place in 2010 was that two little-known Republicans clumsily spoke about issues related to rape, and that was the sum total of Republicans being legitimate rape people.

But it's rhetoric like that that has created the hysteria surrounding this so-called war on women.

So nonsensical is this issue that during the 2012 Republican primary debates, ABC News George Stephanopoulos directed this bizarre question to Mitt Romney.

Governor Romney, do you believe that states have the right to ban contraception, or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?

George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising.

States have a right to ban contraception.

I can't can't imagine a state banning contraception.

I can't imagine the circumstances where a state would want to do so.

And if I were a governor of a state

or a legislator of a state, I would totally and completely oppose any effort to ban contraception.

So you're asking, given the fact that there's no state that wants to do so, and I don't know of any candidate that wants to do so, you're asking, could it constitutionally be done?

We can ask our constitutionalist here.

I'm sure Congressman

asking you.

Do you believe that states have that right or not?

George,

I don't know whether the state has the right to ban contraception.

No state wants to.

I mean, the idea of you putting forward things that states might want to do that no state wants to do and asking me whether they could do it or not is kind of a silly thing, I think.

All of this is not to say that there has never been issues concerning women's rights.

Women have, over time, had cause for concern.

Of course, we all know that.

There was a time in this country when women couldn't even vote.

However, that wasn't a Republican issue.

That was a societal issue.

Commonly referred to as women's suffrage, the fight for women's right to vote began around 1830.

It really heated up in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the effort culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution in 1920.

Tennessee was the last state needed to ratify the amendment, and it passed there by a single vote.

The United States was one of the very first nations on the planet to recognize the right of women to vote.

As early as 1718 in the U.S., in Pennsylvania, married women were allowed to own and manage property in their own name.

during the incapacity of their spouse, but it was a start.

It may surprise some to know that in 1840, the Republic of Texas allowed married women to own property in their own name, period.

The same thing applied in Maine and Maryland with the provision that they couldn't control the land they own.

All of which sounds ridiculous to us today, but 180 years ago, these were huge steps.

Most of the rights obtained by women in the 1800s were obtained in the United States.

By 1855, the University of Iowa became co-ed.

Elsewhere in the world, these things were unheard of.

When referring to things like abortion, progressives like to claim that since the Supreme Court ruled on the issue, it settled law, thus ending the debate for all time.

However, 100 years before abortion was settled law, the issue of a woman's right to vote also became settled law with the Supreme Court ruling in 1874 that women had no right to vote.

In Missouri, a woman named Virginia Minor decided that it was definitely time for her and her fellow women to vote.

She sued for the right, and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court decided in Minor v.

Happersett that Missouri law limiting the right to vote to male citizens is constitutional.

The court rejected the claim by Minor that state law deprives her of one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship in violation of the 14th Amendment.

Amazingly, the court ruled that while women are people under the 14th Amendment, they are in a special category of non-voting people, and states may grant or deny them the right to vote.

So, really, let's stop with the Supreme Court settled law.

Since 1920, the front lines of this war have often involved contraception and abortion.

Supposedly, fighting for the life of an unborn baby is exactly denying a woman their reproductive rights, when in fact the protection of the life inside the womb is actually ensuring the completion of that reproductive right.

In addition, it is safe to assume that just over half of the lives saved by not aborting babies would one day grow up to be women.

In 2012, Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke testified to Congress about the hardships faced by female students over contraception.

Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.

For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that's practically an entire summer's salary.

40% of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy.

One told us of how embarrassed and just powerless she felt when she was standing at the pharmacy counter and learned for the first time that contraception was not covered on her insurance and she had to turn and walk away because she couldn't afford that prescription.

Women like her have no choice but to go without contraception.

Just last week, a married female student told me that she had to stop using contraception because she and her husband just couldn't fit it into their budget anymore.

Women employed in low-wage jobs without contraceptive coverage face this same choice.

It costs $3,000 for birth control while attending law school?

I have to be frank with you, that's either an awful lot of sex or you're buying your birth control devices at Tiffany's.

First of all, to believe that the United States government should have any role whatsoever in assisting Americans to have sexual relations is preposterous.

It's not just unconstitutional, it's unthinkable.

And second, even without any government involvement or even insurance company contributions, birth control can be obtained incredibly cheaply and in many cases, absolutely free.

Over the years, the war on women has become a charged political flashpoint.

Imagine paying 20% more for a cup of coffee just because you're a woman.

So why does Congress think it's okay okay that women get paid 20% less than a man for doing the same job?

I'll fight for pay equity to protect Planned Parenthood, choice for women, and expand paid and family leave.

Now some politicians will belittle this as a women's agenda.

More proof that we just need more women in Congress.

I'm Kathleen Matthews and I approve this message.

The fact that women earn 79 cents for every dollar a man makes is continually cited.

But even the Washington Post has attempted to dispel this falsehood.

They've written about it every year since 2012 and have most recently given the claim the dreaded two Pinocchios.

There's a multitude of factors to consider.

One of them is that the average man has more experience in the workplace than the average woman, and experience is one factor that plays a big role in determining pay.

The Washington Post also notes that women tend to leave the workforce for for periods to raise children, to seek jobs that may have more flexible hours but lower pay, and choose careers that tend to have lower pay.

By the way, BLS data shows that women who have never married have virtually no wage gap.

In 2011, economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of St.

Louis noted that women may prefer to accept jobs with lower wages but greater benefits, more flexible parental leave, for instance.

Excluding such fringe benefits from the calculation would exaggerate the wage disparity.

In 2013, in an article from the Daily Beast citing a Georgetown University survey on economic value of different college majors, it showed that nine out of the ten most remunerative majors, such as petroleum and aerospace engineering, were dominated by men, while nine of the ten least paying majors, such as social work and early childhood education, were dominated by women.

Again, when comparing similar education, experience, skill level, women earn about the same as men, and in some industries, slightly more.

There are certain societies on this planet where a case can be made that a type of war on women actually exists, but the media doesn't want to talk about that one.

But we will in the next episode.

War on women all this week.

Now this from Goldline.

The scale and the speed of change of China's digital sector is head spinning.

China's internet users grew in 2016 by the size of the entire population of Ukraine, 731 million people.

Think of that.

In 2016,

731 million people

got the internet.

Wow.

In China alone.

That's astounding.

95% of them now are accessing the internet using their phones.

China's digital payment market has exploded 50 times the size of that in the U.S.

So what does that mean?

That means cashless

transactions

as the primary payment less than five years from now in China.

The trend is not exclusive to China.

The trend is global.

A cashless society is coming.

What does that mean?

Please, I don't want you even, I mean, if you're ready to buy gold or silver, if you've done your homework, great.

But I want you to take the first step into educating yourself.

I want you to call them right now and ask for their new updated free cashless society risk report.

This has been updated and worked on with members of our team to be able to show you what is happening and what the trends mean and what this means to you,

really, quite honestly, being held hostage by a digital bank.

Women, speaking of the war on women, the whole, you know, contraception thing, wasn't, you know, U.S.

out of my uterus?

Wouldn't that be consistent with stay out of my body, stay out of my life, stay out of my bedroom?

And the government shouldn't be providing contraception, right?

Then, because that's part of your whole staying out of my life.

That's your whole stay out of my life.

You would think so.

You would think, but no.

Consistency doesn't matter.

Not at all.

Here's one of the problems with contraception for some people.

When you use it enough,

babies stop being born.

And so you're not propagating the race.

Atheists are at risk right now.

There's a big new study out that says atheists are using contraception so much that they could all literally die out.

Well, I think you.

They're not replacing enough atheists with more atheists.

I think there's new atheists that can be born every day to non-atheist parents.

That can't happen.

I'm pretty sure it's not like bunny rabbits that only bunny rabbits can make more bunny rabbits.

I think anyone can make an atheist.

They're going extinct.

It's really

something.

Speaking of human beings that reproduce other human beings, my sister-in-law just had a baby.

And, you know, what do you do when your family member has a baby?

You send over food.

Well, normally you could send over, you know, the crappy food that I used to make.

Now, I made some special spinach risotto with a blue apron, sent that over, and they say it's two servings.

I was easily able to split it into four servings.

I mean, it's a lot of food.

And it was delicious, and she really liked it.

And, you know, look, I mean, you score points with a sister-in-law, you score points at home.

Let's be honest about it.

Blue Apron is the way you do this.

Blue Apron sends the meals, I get three per week, and they come with all the best ingredients right to your house in the exact amounts that you need.

So there's no waste and you don't have to figure everything out.

This is the Glenn Beck program

i don't even know how to

honestly i don't even know how to introduce i don't even know how to introduce other than that this is the guy you see on uh uh on conan all the time and i think he's the real i think he's the real deal i think this is how are you fantastic

i am so excited to be here tremendous you guys are amazing i don't know any of you but i think you're great

and glenn has been so supportive of a supportive of me for so long he's said such wonderful things about me and on his latest book I'm on the cover and that's why it's a million stars I'm on the cover did you notice that none of his other books have done well why would you write a book on broke bad move bad move

I have to tell you stupid stupid title but I like you though you're good right I've read a lot of books too a lot of books best-selling books right um but uh i'm not i haven't really been helpful for you you really you haven't no in that case you're a lightweight loser.

You're doing a terrible job.

I've always said you're terrible.

I've always said that from the beginning.

Now that I know this about you.

Right.

Right.

Really amazing.

So you were on CNN, you blew that gig.

Then you were in Fox, you blew that gig.

Now you're in this place, folks.

We're in a double white trailer.

I don't think you realize that.

He's not doing well, believe me.

John DeMonico is

the voice that you're hearing now do

Donald Trump.

And the hair, how much, I mean,

how did you do that?

I mean, how much did that hair cost you?

That's four grand.

Seriously, four grand?

Yeah.

That hair?

$4,000.

There's three of these.

Wow.

And they're not $4,000 each.

Yeah, they're $4,000 each.

Shut the hell.

Yeah, they take 90 hours to make.

Every single hair is hand pulled.

I don't know if he's.

Well, I'm kind of in between.

You want to drop that?

It's Trump hair.

Tremendous hair breast

Okay, so

drop the effect here for a second.

Talk to me about the hair.

The hair was

the hair is the very first wig I ever had was made by Bob Kelly.

He used to do all the wigs for all the Broadway shows and Saturday Night Live.

And this goes back at least 12 years ago.

And those wigs are human hair wigs that are hand-pulled.

They measure my head and then they build a frame and then they just pull the hairs through and it's called ventilating.

That's why the hair goes like your hair goes in different direction, grows in different directions.

So they ventilate the wig so it's closest to the actual style.

I get like three or four wears out of this.

How many wears out of this?

Three or four.

That's it?

No, no, no, no.

Then it goes to my wig person.

They wash and style it because once there's too much product in it, it just like human, it is human hair, so it's got to be restyled and redone.

I need a wig person.

Yeah.

I mean, how, I mean, you need three or four of these.

Well, because I'm always traveling.

So I'll go home for a couple of hours, switch out wigs.

My wig person will come by pick them up and then wash one or two it's been tremendous for you as a human being hasn't this has been yeah this is like i mean you're hoping for eight years oh yeah the country could be on fire and you're starting i don't care what is burning

so is it is it amazing to you that

nobody would do nobody had the balls to to put an impression of barack obama on television they all said oh he wasn't funny

i don't think he had the,

comedically, there's just not, I mean, there's something there, but there's just, there's such a well with Trump, and it goes back so far.

Just, you look at his lexicon, you look at statements that he's made, you look at where he's been and how he's done it.

There's just, there's just this, this reservoir of material.

And, you know, Barack Obama was so guarded that the most you could do with him was like, here's the deal.

You know, there just wasn't a lot to pull out.

Comedically, he's so guarded, you know what I mean?

But then you you have somebody like Bill Clinton, and he just was, you know, he was much easier to like, he, there was just more comedy to mind from someone like Donald Trump.

So did you think, because you've been doing Donald Trump for how many years?

Since 2004.

Okay.

And you really studied it.

Yeah.

I mean, you're looking at me like

he does.

And sitting in this room, which is the Oval War.

Which is the Oval Office, which I now own.

I bought the White House.

Great deal, by the way.

Great deal.

No one makes deals like me, I have to to tell you.

So

you really have to watch.

Go to Glenno.com or plays.com and watch this.

You have to watch it.

It's so funny.

When you studied him beginning in 2004, just because he was just a great character?

No, what happened was I worked in the New York market and I always got calls for tougher voices for voiceovers.

And I do about 30 characters, full makeup.

And I got in the call and somebody said, hey, are you doing Donald Trump yet?

And this was the first season of The The Apprentice had just ended.

And I said, no, not really.

I said, we have an audition on Monday for you if you can learn the voice.

So I was like, geez.

And I said, give me an hour.

And I did some real quick research.

And the only person at the time who was doing it at all was Phil Hartman on SNL.

And he'd done it on Church Lady a number of times.

So I didn't have a lot of resource material to really, really draw from.

So I ran out and bought that first season of The Apprentice.

It just happened to come out.

And I sat there, locked myself in my house, house and i broke his voice down by elements which is uh throat placement nasal placement vocal production cadence and that's how i kind of usually break voices down and then i worked on figuring out like he doesn't sound like anyone from new york so i had to figure out i wanted to find a voice similar to his and uh the only person that i knew other than him from queens was another guy who spoke in a very very staccato way like christopher walking yeah and

Walking, you wouldn't necessarily think as a New Yorker if you hear him speak.

So, and Trump, when he speaks, you don't necessarily think of him as a New Yorker unless he had certain words.

So does it help?

Did you pick up the mannerisms?

Does that help you?

It helps me.

It helps me.

Yeah, especially when I'm doing voiceovers and things like that.

Even when I'm doing the Conan calls, I'm like banging furniture in my house because I have a small studio in my house and I'm whacking the mic mic and everything else.

But it's just such a big part of who he is.

Because it really, I have to tell you, it's tremendous, tremendous.

You know,

even when he was on the, what was it, when he was at the CIA?

And is it, you know, I'm watching one of the news channels, the one I don't like, I don't like it.

I don't like it.

And they say, don't drop, doesn't draw.

I'm like, he's so physical.

And

it's a very dynamic

impersonation.

And what he's very dynamic in that, you know, two years ago, he wasn't this physical.

And he constricts his voice and he loosens his voice and he's going up and he's going down and things he had never done early on because it used to be, Glenn, your team did a terrible job.

You're fired.

That was it.

He would set up, you know what I mean?

He'd fire you or set up, guys, you're selling lemonade.

That was, you know, that was the most you saw of him.

And it seemed the more he was on the campaign trail, especially with these stump speeches, he just became looser and looser.

At what point did you think to yourself, I've got a freaking gold mine?

I just knew, well, people were calling me as soon as he announced, friends, because I've been doing him so long.

I said, dude, you're set.

You're set, man.

It's going to be incredible.

And I said, hold on.

Let's see if he doesn't implode first.

Because four years before, he had run.

He was touring with running.

And I remember at the very end of before he dropped, literally the day before he dropped out, he was speaking in front of the,

I live in Las Vegas, he was speaking to the Las Vegas Republicans women's group, and he dropped the F-bomb three times.

And I remember thinking, he's dropping out.

He dropped out the next day.

Because he kind of lays the groundwork before he does something.

And he dropped the three F-bombs, and everyone was shocked, and he was out the next day.

When he announced

this last time in June 2015, I thought, okay, well, let's, you know, let's see what happens with the work start coming in.

And we were about a month in, and he made the the John McCain comments.

And I thought, well, that was a good run.

That was a full month.

I guess I'll go back to Austin Powers.

It was really, and then his numbers went up

and his numbers kept going up.

And I thought, you know what?

If he can make it to the first debate, I'm set for the fall.

I'm set for the fall.

And then he did that first debate and he crushed it.

And the phone started ringing off the hook.

And by that time, I was on Red Eye on Fox and I'd already been on Conan and other calls were happening and the corporate work was coming in and voiceovers were happening.

It already started.

And then by August of this past year, 2016, I was being interviewed by the, not the BBC, by Channel 4.

They had flown me to DC to do some interviews.

And most of the interviews I did last year, I did a ton of them.

They always said, who are you voting for?

Which I always thought was the dumb question.

Who cares who I'm voting for?

They said, who do you think will win?

And I said, Trump will win in a landslide.

I've been on the road for well over a year now I've done hundreds of events doesn't matter what corporate group I do or where I do it it's always overwhelmingly for Trump

and

what is it that the media missed

they miss the fact say it like Trump they miss the fact that people are upset they want a leader they want someone with bravado they want someone who has real accomplishments and someone who's going to say whatever he wants to say.

And that was the thing that they missed, that he was, that he...

Do you believe he is

that caricature?

Because people always say when they meet with him, he's a totally different guy.

So which is he?

What is he?

Well, you know, that's a great question.

And I say to people, you know, I think you'll see he's different in different situations.

Even when he's doing interviews, if he's being interviewed by Sean Hannity, he's one way.

If it's Bill O'Reilly, it's another way.

If it's Scott Pelley, it's another way.

He assumes different

styles each time.

Right.

But they're still all him.

They're still all him, yeah.

But

I think

when he's out and about.

You know, if you've seen plenty of those types of things, he's a certain way.

This is tremendous.

Look at this place.

This is amazing.

This is an amazing event.

I have to tell you, it's incredible.

Best of the best.

So I think what was missed was the fact that he's he,

the enthusiasm part was so important.

They didn't get the fact that people were really enthusiastic about him and they were incredibly unenthusiastic about Hillary.

And I remember this clearly.

I was in New York, which was pretty much Hillary country.

I was doing an event, 500 people, and I do this bit in the act where I come out and basically I say, you know,

the there's my i've been told there's over 5 000 people here today it's usually a much smaller crowd the press the press terrible people the press they're gonna say there's 400 and we're in a banquet hall terrible

and i say it just listen listen listen listen we're all friends here right we're all friends right let i just want to do a quick poll quick poll who here wants to ruin the country and vote for crooked hillary clinton and the the the clinton

these are the people voting for her.

It was so enthusiastic.

And then I would say, and then this was less than a quarter of the group.

And I was like, all right, who gonna vote for me

and make the country great again?

Overwhelmingly for him.

And it was these are Clinton people.

These were, these were, you would think in New York.

In the country.

You would think in New York.

Yeah.

And I remember early on, I was at a hotel in San Diego of all places.

And I'm constantly on the road, constantly, in hotels and airports.

I mean, in character, I'm in hotels.

And I would walk out of my room one time, and the cleaning lady said, Mr.

Trump, Mr.

Trump, can I get a vote over you, Mr.

Trump?

And I said, sure, of course.

What's your name?

My name is Esmeralda, Mr.

Trump.

And I said, I said, oh, you got a vote for me?

Yes, I'm going to vote for you, Mr.

Trump.

I love you.

And you love me?

And she says, yes, I love you, Mr.

Trump.

I want you to build the wall.

That happened like five times.

Wow.

I had a Muslim driver in

New York, and I was out of character.

They picked me up at the airport, and the guy said,

No, I was in street clothes.

Okay, yeah.

I was in street clothes, and he said, What do you do?

And I said, Oh, I'm a comedian.

And he said, What kind of comedy?

And I said, Oh, I'm an impersonator.

And he's like, Who do you do?

And I was like, Oh, Dr.

Phil,

Dr.

Evil, Donald Trump.

And Austin,

you do Mr.

Trump, you do Mr.

Trump.

And I said, Yeah,

I do Donald Trump.

And I mentioned the different stuff.

He goes, I love Donald Trump.

I love Donald Trump.

I said, really?

I said, why?

And he goes, he is going to draw a line between me and the terrorists.

I love America.

I love America.

And he's going to draw a line.

I was thinking, like, I'd never.

And I took all these things and I was like, all these things were happening.

I'm thinking, this guy's going to win.

It doesn't seem every quarter.

What is the one thing?

You know what?

I got to take a quick break.

We'll come right back.

But he kills people.

We've always hated him.

Like, we haven't killed people.

Come on, bud.

Russia has now hacked 500 million email accounts.

We're not even close to that.

I think you should be hacking more, don't you?

Could this be a test for something bigger, like taking down our vulnerable and aging energy grid?

How about North Korea?

There's lots of things that are catastrophic that could happen, but also things like just times can be tough.

I don't get to think.

You know, I will tell you this.

I mean, one of the impersonations you do is Benjamin Franklin.

That doesn't seem so hard.

Nobody really knows, dude.

Really?

Somebody nailed him.

How do you know what Benjamin Franklin sounds like?

A lot of research.

There are some old kinescopes of him talking.

Larry King.

Larry King live, coming to you live from Florida, where everyone passed away.

You do, let's see, Billy Mays.

That's a fan.

Hi, Billy Mays.

Billy was great.

Oh, he was fantastic.

So what is the one thing about Trump?

Because you are in his head.

What is the one thing about Trump that the average person misses that maybe

you're surprised that not everybody sees?

I think the fact that there's absolutely no nuance, it's black or white, there's no middle ground on something.

It's either absolutely tremendous or it's a total disaster.

It's real.

Have you ever heard him do the middle ground ever?

Never.

He never says anything is sort of okay.

Right.

Right.

You know, it's like, well, all right, maybe

you've never seen that.

No, no.

You've never seen that.

It's just a complete, you know.

And the thing is, like, the word disaster, it could be a nuclear holocaust or a paper cut.

This is a disaster.

I can't do anything.

I can't point.

I can't point.

I have a paper cut on.

You know?

It's like, just levels everything.

Does it amaze you how he can turn on things at the drop of a hat as well?

Yes.

That you are absolutely the best.

And the moment you say something he disagrees with, it's over.

It's over.

You are the worst.

It's incredible.

One of the things I think is really interesting about him is if he doesn't,

the biggest insult he can give you is, I never liked you.

Like, that's the leveler.

Right.

You know what I mean?

You do a terrible job.

Your work is horrible.

And I never liked you.

It's like, is that it?

Okay.

I just think it's such a fascinating because he sees that as a real

devastating.

Like, that's the worst possible thing that could ever happen to you.

He wants to be liked.

Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

I think it's very interesting at Mar-a-Lago, a couple weeks ago, there was a wedding, and he was with Abe Lincoln, the prime minister of Japan.

Abe Lincoln there.

Hang on, I got to take a break.

Back with the rest of this story.

And Abe Lincoln at Mar-a-Lago when we got to.

Shinzo, Shinzo.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

He has

you have seen him play Donald Trump on Conan.

Where else have we seen you?

I've done three films.

I did a 13-part web series.

I did a commercial that had 30 million views called The Wall, which was very funny.

What was it for?

I don't know.

It was for a camera called 360.

It's the first day the wall opens.

And it was a huge commercial, huge budgeted commercial.

Huge, huge commercial.

And as I'm giving the speech, thing this tremendous impenetrable wall the mexicans are digging in either popping out on the other side it's very funny here look it up the wall 360 um and it's one of the it's on my video channel too is donald trump one of the only people that

no matter what he says

it's funny not to him But to everybody else.

It's just the way he says.

Right.

It's the way he says stuff.

Right.

It's the way it's.

I mean, I could say China all my life.

The way he says Jina.

Yeah, it's amazing.

And every, you know, and everything.

China's killing us.

They're killing us.

They're absolutely killing us.

Great takeout, terrible people.

It's just everything he says has there's a humorous

suppose these meetings are like with like Angela Merkel.

I can't, I don't know, really,

he's not a policy guy, so I can't, you know, love the German people, tremendous people.

Very clean, very clean.

Because that's the thing he loves, right?

Cleanliness.

He doesn't shake hands, right?

Here's the thing, that whole shaking hand thing,

when I met him, that part about shaking hands, but he's selectively OCD.

Because if you ever see him around the pageant contestants, he's kissing them and arms around.

If you're truly OCD, like someone like Howie Mandel, like you don't touch anybody.

So it's more like, I'm OCD, Matt, you know what?

I don't want to shake your hand.

I think that's really what it comes from.

You know, because when he was on the trail, he was constantly shaking hands.

I'm thinking, either this guy's been through like some kind of inversion therapy or he can suddenly not have a because I have a friend, we all have a friend who does impersonations who is OCD and it's really destroyed his life.

I mean, he was this brilliant kid.

And, you know, I saw him just a few years ago in Los Angeles.

And it literally took him 15 minutes to cross the street.

He kept going back.

And I watched him.

Yeah.

He kept going back and checking his car and getting getting back in.

I mean, it was horrible.

It was just torture for him.

So you're not going to, if you're OCD, you're not.

Yeah, if you're a true

jomophobe, you're not just going to drop it.

So I think it's more of a selective thing.

It's like, he prefers it to be this way.

So, because early on when I was doing him, I used to like, I'm not going to shake your hand.

That was a part of my bit, you know, 10, 12 years ago.

Now it's like, hey, there, good to see you.

You know.

And then

do you think that plays anything with his

peculiarly small hands?

I honestly don't get the small hands thing.

He does have a hand.

He does have small hands.

He does have small hands.

You've met him.

I've met him.

He's a very large man.

Yeah.

He's huge.

Yeah, he is.

He's a very large man.

And when he walks in to a room, the room does stop.

But his hands are small.

Really?

They are small.

And the hair is a phenomenon.

I mean, the hair looks like that.

Yeah.

Yeah, it does.

Because it's really long, and then he flips it.

Is he covering a bald spot?

What do you think that is?

Well, his hair's thinning.

I mean, it just, you know, it's like regularly thinning hair.

He does that.

I mean, I think it is amazing that whoever designed this

is not known.

It's almost like whoever cuts his hair is like, look, I only have one request, Mr.

Trump.

You never utter my name.

Never.

It's like a witness protection program.

Nobody knows who cuts his hair.

That guy should be famous.

Right, he should be famous.

It's like the Brooklyn Bridge.

There's some engineering there.

Yeah.

No, there's somebody put a chart on on

the internet where because he does this thing.

We can't even mimic it because I talk to my weak person all the time.

Like, we need to do this thing where the hair comes down halfway and then it goes back.

And she's like, I can't do that.

We can't get the hair to go down like for an inch and then put back.

You know, so we get it as close as humanly possible because his hair is literally defying gravity

because the way it's built, it's like it's

you know, every day.

And I have photos of him where he's obviously just at a tavern on the green because I have photos of him all different years because I like to look at the, you know, see his hairstyle change, which not by much, only the hair's getting thinner.

I just want you to know how weird and creepy that sentence just sounds

like

in the dressing room here.

There's all these different photos of him because I have to go with the little nasolabial folds here and these things and the thing under the eyes.

And he used to get tan a lot, so he had like the white, the white around the eyes.

It doesn't happen anymore.

Because he had the no, he doesn't have the time.

It's kind of hard to sneak off to the tanning bed, you know, or the spray tan or whatever it is.

But his hair is, you know, everything about him is a brand.

His hair is his brand.

The way he speaks is his brand.

His style is his brand.

Did you see that they just

had him cut new suits?

Did you see that?

Oh, for the White House.

The joint.

You know,

somebody in the administration

had all new suits made for him, new ties.

They've restyled him.

It was a big deal at the

joint houses of Congress.

Yeah,

at the speech.

You can tell with the ties.

His ties are too damn long.

Stop it.

Yeah.

I mean, they're always, you know, they're almost to his crotch.

Right.

And they use this tape to tape them together.

Have you seen that photo where it's blowing and you see like the Scotch tape?

Classic.

Which is really interesting.

Like, here's a guy who's so precise on so many things.

And then.

Who is it we know got cufflinks from him?

Remember that story?

Oh,

no, no, no.

We told the story.

Because we had, maybe it was Charlie Sheen.

That's what it was.

But it was someone else we knew that.

It was the same thing.

And we had,

because Penn Gillette's a friend of mine.

Oh, yeah.

Penn was on Celebrity Apprentice.

Penn called me and asked me for, I don't remember what it was, like a $20,000 donation to his charity.

I said, fine, made it.

Trump, when he released his charitable givings, included my $20,000 in his charitable givings.

I couldn't believe it.

Penn called me up and he's like, that's your money, dude.

But he's coming to good use.

But the other is the cufflink story.

Somebody else told us that story, too, that they're fake.

And he presents

real.

He was having dinner with Charlie Sheen, and Charlie Sheen said, hey, I love those cufflinks.

Those are beautiful.

He's like, you want them?

And he gave them to him.

And he said, Those are Tiffany's, right?

Yeah,

like $3,000 a piece or something outrageous.

And then he had them appraised a while later, and they were costume jewelry.

You would think, why would you?

He just does that.

Why would you do that?

Kind of goes back to what we were talking about on the brand.

Yeah,

it's just very bizarre.

Just really weird.

Hey, I know you've got other things to do here.

Could we just get you to go through his tweets?

Because this goes.

Absolutely.

If you have like the classic tweets,

What are they?

Oh, there's so many classic.

I've never seen a skinny person.

I've never seen a fat person.

I've never seen a fat person drinking dark.

I mean, here's his.

This is his Twitter line.

Is there a place you could just go online to famous?

Yeah, there's famous cool.

There's a whole bunch of those famous Twitter teams.

I will say that.

Do you do not want to have your fingerprints on Jeffy's computer?

That is not a good idea.

Just don't pay attention to the tabs.

Don't pay attention to the tabs.

Okay, this is today, 22 hours ago.

Congratulations, Eric and Laura.

Very proud and happy for the two of you.

He is getting more boring, and I think that's good for the country.

Good for the country.

Not necessarily good for I'm just fascinated.

I would love to be a fly on the wall, seeing him with another world leader.

I mean, what does he say to Benjamin Netanyahu?

I mean, because it's popular.

I love the Israeli people.

Love Israel.

Tremendous people.

I know so many Jewish people after.

Did I tell you my daughter's Jewish?

She's Jewish.

Eric married a Jew.

We're very close to you, Peter.

But beyond that,

I think that's it.

I mean, the meetings, and then you just sit there like you did with Angela Merkel, where it's just uncomfortable not looking at each other.

Send a good photo back to Germany.

That was it.

Yeah.

What about all the contact with the Clinton campaign and the Russians?

Also, it is true that the DNC would not let the FBI look in.

I just heard that fake news, CNN, is doing polls again, despite the fact that their election polls were way off disaster.

Much higher ratings at Fox.

By the way, CNN, I think, is having its

record-breaking ratings now, aren't they?

Oh, and everything.

New York Times.

Failing.

Failing.

Horrible.

It's up.

Yeah.

Glenn Beck is failing.

That was the amazing thing is he courted me for a while.

I didn't realize I was being courted.

And then that stopped the minute he announced because we thought it was a joke.

Right.

You know, we were like, okay, well, this guy, this is a joke.

And of course, we're not for him.

And immediately the courting stopped.

And I'm the biggest loser and I'm failing and I'm going broke.

And I mean, it's remarkable how he just zeroes in on that.

I thought it was interesting when Macy stopped selling his suits.

He'd said, you know, Macy's are falling apart, stores are closing, and people are chopping up their Macy's cards.

Tens of thousands of people are doing this.

I just thought that was...

Does he believe it or does he know that he can create that image in people's minds?

I think

that is the ultimate question.

Whether or not he believes it.

Yeah, I think

from the standpoint of me as an actor, I think he believes it.

We think, we've gone back and forth.

We think that as he's saying it, he absolutely believes it.

Right.

Yes.

In the moment.

In the moment.

But he may not actually believe that, but saying it, he does.

Right.

It's a bizarre guy.

Yeah.

Bizarre guy.

Fascinating.

You've got a

glorious eight years.

I've had a huge run coming.

I have to say.

Because, you know, people, the thing was, people had said, well, what's going to happen if he loses?

And I would say, he's not going anywhere.

Right.

You'll probably hear more from him if he loses

than if he wins.

You know, and I was building, I was in the process of building a

White House press room in my house because I do so much stuff for my home because I have an audio studio there.

And he hasn't been in the press room.

Nope.

And he's probably never going to be in the press room.

So I'm thinking, well, maybe I should do this.

We'll sell you the audio.

Yes, this is tremendous.

This is tremendous,

it used to look just like it, and he can sell you the old carpet and everything else.

It is so good to have you.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

This has been great.

God bless.

Thank you.

you're listening to the glenbeck program

this is the glenbeck program

imagine how weird it would be to be an impersonations for a living and you're just hoping that the person you do really well gets hot.

Really out of your control.

You know, because it is.

Oh, wait, we have someone who does some impressions here.

Yeah, I mean, we have Al Gore.

Sadly, though, most of the people Pat does are either retired or dead.

Not all of them.

Not all of them.

Al Gore.

He's dead.

He's retired.

Yeah, he's not dead.

Al Gore is dead.

Yoda is very much alive and driving around in Matthew Waive right now.

Spoiler alert, Yoda is dead, by the way.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

I know.

I don't want to, in case you just start going on,

he's going on.

He goes on.

Yeah, that's true.

Then you've got Michael Jackson.

We've lost Michael.

Yeah.

You used to do a great, what's his name?

The old

Arlen Spector.

Yeah, Arlen.

We lost him.

Dead.

I didn't leave this life.

This life left me.

Jimmy Stewart.

Yeah, Jimmy Stewart.

Why didn't we bring this up?

I know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, because you've got a professional here.

You don't want to

get paid for it.

That is true.

That is the definition of a professional.

You get paid to do it.

That's kind of true, isn't it, when you think about that?

That is a great Trump, though.

Wow.

When you look at him,

if you're just listening to us, you got to go back and watch it on the Blazor at GlennBack.com because watching him.

Killer.

Yeah.

Lawrence was in the makeup chair a few minutes ago, and he's like, Donald Trump is here,

looking up at the screen.

And

Lawrence, no,

there might be a car or two outside.

Maybe a few people.

Maybe people in suits.

Maybe not, knowing how the Secret Service is around the White House now, but there might have been a little harder to get into the building if Donald Trump were here.

Probably we would have told everybody.

But he has some amazing stories that would be fun to share if we could, but we can't.

But

what?

Amazing insight.

Stu,

would you please look at what he just did?

What I do.

That's something.

I said he had amazing stories.

That's something you look at me and go,

why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

I mean, he didn't.

That's a good point.

I didn't divulge anything.

I didn't divulge anything.

You would have divulged it by now.

Well, now I do.

He just told us an amazing story of blah, blah, blah.

I don't know if I'm i'm supposed to say this because uh he told me specifically not to but let me tell you uh the story that that is your man this is the greatest thing though because if i ever go if i'm ever if they ever you know capture me and they you know they think i have secrets or something

I mean, I'll tell you in the van on the way to the interrogation.

You guys are ISIS?

Oh, I heard this great story about these planes that are coming tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

At 4 p.m.

Right.

It's unbelievable.

That is you.

Yeah, it is me.

So I'll never make it to the torture chamber.

I don't.

They don't need to torture me.

They don't need to torture me.

They don't need to.

Do you think society at large has finally learned this point with you?

That they can't email.

Because I know, I know it personally.

Work emails.

Never send a work email to Glenn Beck with a detail you don't want the whole company to know.

Because if there's another detail in there that he wants, he'll forward the whole chain going back two years of your conversations and everybody gets them and gets to read them.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

This sounds

awful.

This sounds specific.

Like there's something that has happened to you.

Not with me, but I've read a lot of interesting shames, I will say, over the years.

That's actually true.

Back tomorrow with what's happening on Capitol Hill.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.
