This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Hello, America.

There is a lot to talk about, this deep state nonsense that is going on.

There is a new conspiracy theory on why the U.S.

attorneys were fired, at least the one in New York.

This one, I think, could gain some traction.

There's a new tape that has been released on Paul Ryan.

But it's, I mean, you can trace it right back to the White House because it was released by Breitbart.

There's a shot across the bow for the Republicans and the Paul Ryans of the party.

Good.

Let them eat each other.

And

Snoop Dogg

shooting a presidential lookalike.

Let's talk about that.

We begin there right now.

I will make a stand.

I will

the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the Glenn Beck program

Let's start with some audio.

Let's start with the audio of Paul Ryan and

what was released with Breitbart.

Let's at least just

talk about Paul Ryan saying that he was not going to support Donald Trump.

You'll never see me defending Donald Trump.

And this is coming now from Breitbart.

This was released.

Why?

Why was this released now?

I mean, this is not new.

No,

certainly timed.

You know,

some, my guess is that they want to brand this health care plan as Ryan care and make it all about Ryan before it fails because they don't think they're going to get it passed.

And so they want to make it Ryan's fault so that Trump doesn't take any of the blame for it.

Because Trump has obviously been promoting it heavily, but it doesn't seem like it's coming around.

So when it fails, it's Ryan's fault.

Trump tried to help Ryan, but look at Ryan was sabotaging him the entire time.

Right.

I let you call it Trump care in the beginning, but it really was Ryan care.

I don't think Donald Trump really wants to do it, though.

If you listen to his quote from yesterday, he said,

I told him I just wanted to fail.

Just let Obamacare fail and just blame it on them.

The voice you're hearing is Lawrence Jones, who will be joining us in a few minutes on Snoop Dogg.

I think you're exactly right.

He is setting this up to fail, and he's going to take Ryan down.

Did you notice yesterday he was also talking about

the GOP again?

He was not talking about, it wasn't this inclusive club anymore.

It was once again, me against the GOP.

He's also got another conspiracy that he is throwing out.

Now the CBO is no good.

Now the CBO, while the jobs numbers are good, where they weren't under President Obama and nothing changed.

He didn't go and change the way we calculate the job numbers.

He didn't go fire anybody.

He just said,

now we can trust them.

Well,

why can we trust them when you've been saying we can't trust them?

And on the reverse, the CBO comes out with their scoring of the new Trump care bill or Ryan care, however you want to deal with it.

And he now says, you can't trust the CBO, where tweet after after tweet after tweet after tweet, all during the Obama administration, he said the CBO is the only ones telling the truth.

But now

you can't trust them.

Well, he was, Spicer was specific in quoting Trump in his press conference saying that Donald Trump, quote, they may have been phony in the past.

the job reports,

but it's very real now.

Yep.

I mean, what changed?

Not very quote.

There's a different president,

but nothing else is changed.

So nothing's changed.

Not the way they count it,

not the system they're using.

Nothing.

But they hurt their argument because Tom Price, who's over

HSS,

was a big supporter of this guy who is over the CBO back when they were going to appoint him.

So it's kind of hard for him to criticize his buddy when he was a big advocate for this guy to get the job.

The real problem here is, is there's nothing else that we can trust.

There's nothing we can trust.

We can no longer trust our agencies.

We can really no longer trust.

He's only biting around the edges, but the left will finish this job to where we don't really trust the military.

The military has some problems, but the military, like it or not, is directly related to intelligence, military intelligence.

As he is taking down the intelligence community, he's biting all around the important edges of our military.

So we can no longer trust our military.

We no longer trust Congress.

We never trust the president.

We don't trust our cops.

We don't trust the judicial system.

We don't trust the media.

We don't trust the CBO.

Well, it's interesting because there are people who do trust the president, no matter what he says.

When he says the CBO is the only one telling the truth, they trust him then.

And then when he says the CBO is completely inaccurate and we can't trust them, they trust him then.

I don't know how you overcome that.

I just don't understand.

How do you overcome this?

The

two stories.

One reason Trump may have been fired or may have fired U.S.

Attorney Preet

Barra.

How do you say his name?

Barra.

Barara.

Apparently, he is the U.S.

Attorney for Manhattan.

The most powerful.

And

what he was working on was the sexual harassment case on Fox News with Roger Ailes.

That's what's being reported now.

But I don't know if this is being reported and it's even true.

I don't know if

it's an axe to grind.

I don't know if he was really involved or if it was just his office, but they're the ones involved in the sexual harassment with Fox News.

Then comes another story.

Over the weekend news cycle, a fascination with Donald Trump's latest conspiracy theory, blah, blah, blah.

It looks like

Fox News stands to benefit from the firing of the U.S.

Attorney.

For starters, New York Times on Friday named Mark Mukowski, personal legal counsel to Roger Ailes as one of the top choices for the New York U.S.

Attorney's position.

So whether or not either one of these are true, it's out in the system.

So you would essentially have Roger Ailes

investigating himself at Fox News.

I wonder what the outcome would be.

I wonder what the outcome would be.

And

how unlikely is it that that could

happen?

We would all agree that if this were Hillary Clinton and this kind of thing happened, we would all, everybody on the right would say, oh, absolutely that's going on.

But

everybody on the right will say, absolutely, that's not happening.

Is it happening?

Is it not happening?

We have to decide

somewhere.

If it happens, is it okay?

That should be our question.

Yes.

If it happens, is that okay?

But how do we trust?

What are we going to come to and trust?

What we have to do is we have to hold people's feet to the fire.

And I invite you to hold my feet to the fire.

Hold my feet to the fire.

Whatever the fire is that you you started, that you say, for instance,

hold my feet to the fire.

If I am, you know the approach I'm trying to take.

If I'm not fair,

if I'm, you know, resorting to name calling and everything else, fine, hold my feet to the fire.

I want you to.

I want to be a better man and broadcaster.

Let's say this.

If Donald Trump says the CBO is good,

and he says this for 10 years, and we have evidence, hold his feet to the fire.

What has changed?

Don't give me hyperbole.

Just tell me what has changed.

If you say something is bad, and now all of a sudden it's good, great.

I'm willing to believe you.

Tell me what the pivot is.

Tell me what has changed.

Let's take Snoop Dogg.

I brought Lawrence in.

Lawrence Jones, he is one of the commentators on The Blaze.

He was with Dallas Police, right?

Which police?

I did reserves.

Yeah, I did reserves.

So

an investigator,

an investigator and

private eye and now a commentator, and is deeply rooted in the black community here in Dallas.

He came in this morning with his hair on fire about Snoop Dogg.

Yeah.

I've seen the Snoop Dogg video.

Have you guys seen it yet?

okay so snoop dog does a video where he has a donald trump lookalike in clown makeup orange clown makeup and he points a gun to the president's head then he puts him in chains and everything else and they're slapping him around look at the picture right there tell me that that could have been done by

anybody on Barack Obama.

The world would have come undone if anyone would have done a picture, let alone a music video, about shooting the president of the United States.

Couldn't have done it.

Couldn't have done it.

Snoop Dogg is also, quote, anti-violence, anti-gun.

Well, what the hell's happening here?

His feet need to be held to the fire that he started.

But Lawrence, will anybody?

No.

And

this is not just about him going coming after the president any president I think that's wrong

it's about your word as a man this is what Snoop said he's over this no guns allowed initiative but this is a recent quote from him he said I've made up a lot of mistakes I've grown and learned I don't feel like guns are necessary

he's totally against guns but you come out in a video promoting shooting the president and liberals have been arguing uh debating saying, well, it's a fake gun.

These are the same liberals that don't think

that freak out when kids bring toy guns to school.

But now

class two look-alike finger gun.

Right.

But this is okay.

He then, in the lyrics, says, I'm against

the young black men that get 20 to 30 years in jail for weed, but you endorse Hillary Clinton.

And she was with the 94 crime bill.

So I'm seeing this hypocritical stance feeding my community this nonsense.

You saying that you're against this stuff, but when it benefits you, you're turning the page.

He also now has a show with Martha Stewart called Potluck.

It's to promote unity.

Wait, Snoop Dogg has

a show with Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart.

And this all started.

Talk about unlikely bedfellows now.

Right.

This show all started because liberals created this meme with Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg with a picture next to them, next to each other.

And the meme said, which one is the felon?

And so it went viral.

So they decided to have a show to promote unity, to try cultural food and bring people together.

You tell me

how this is a message of unity.

Because this is Martha Stewart is the felon.

She's the felon.

Obviously.

Yeah.

That's great.

Just get to kick it out.

That's what I like.

like.

I think

that's a good idea.

So you have a problem with that?

You don't think that promotes unity?

That show?

Yeah.

I haven't seen the show.

If they stand by what they say they're doing, it's like you, as Glenn Beck, saying, hey, I want to have unity, then come on your show and say something totally against unity.

Is it really genuine?

Or is it just about ratings and getting more money?

Which is cool.

Just be honest about it.

Well, I think we know with those two.

It's just about more ratings and more money.

Exactly.

Just be honest about it.

I'm cool if that's what you want.

See, here's the problem.

Here's the problem with this.

It requires you to be intellectually curious, intellectually rigorous, and intellectually honest.

I don't think we're any of those.

I mean, for instance, Stu.

What was it, Monday or last week?

We mentioned offhand in something else.

We weren't talking about this.

In something else, I said, oh, by the way, Hitler would have been the biggest environmentalist right

and because he loved animals he would have been a member of PETA

he loved animals loved dogs more than people certainly more than Jews but I think more than all people

and he was a huge environmentalist and you said

Living space was obviously the big concern for the German people.

They needed their living space.

Well, that's why he needed to invade Poland and France.

They needed more space.

Sustainability.

He didn't call it Russia.

He needed space.

he said they needed more land to grow food for the German people.

They needed more.

It was essentially an overpopulation concern, which later became popular in the

1960s.

But yeah, I mean, that was essentially what he was arguing.

Now, of course, these were also arguments to cover hatred for certain people.

There's plenty of other people.

So I think it's more complicated.

He would have been the biggest environmentalist.

If he would have had the environment, the global warming movement, he would have been right in in there with them now

that doesn't mean that environmentalists are nazis that doesn't mean that people who love animals i love animals are nazis the person who said the thing on the air is a vegetarian i am a vegetarian like i'm not that that's the right so what happened doesn't make me a nazi so the glennbeck.com uh wrote something uh and it was tweeted out and everybody on the left oh glenn beck see look he's he's against he's against unity what a fraud he is saying that environmentalists are Nazis no

that's not what I said

just because Hitler believed things and would have used that movement that is going on today

doesn't make anybody in that movement today a Nazi

we're not we are not willing to be intellectually vigorous vigorous at all it's their fascistic practices and policies that make them Nazis.

That's that's okay, Pat.

Thank you.

I needed to clarify that particular part.

Right.

Well, in some ways, not Nazis, but in some ways, what they are saying is fascistic.

Yes.

It is.

I will tell you exactly what you do.

You can eat.

How you can live.

I will tell you in China.

We agree.

Who was it, Biden, that basically said we're not going to argue with your one-child policy in China?

Yeah.

Well, I'm going to argue against that.

You don't have a right to tell people how many children they can have.

So we're not intellectually vigorous or honest at all.

I don't think it's the thinking, though.

I think it's wanting to win.

Both sides want to win.

And so anything that furthers them winning, they just pick it.

Like with Samantha B the other day.

Like, I think what she did was wrong, but I know that she didn't know that kid was a Nazi.

I mean, didn't know that he had cancer.

Kitchen definitely didn't know he was a Nazi.

Yeah, but he didn't have Cussett, you know, accusing Democrat.

But she was doing it to further her argument, so it's like just a joke.

But she wasn't even furthering her argument.

She was making a joke.

And it wasn't even her.

Right.

It wasn't even her.

I think it was wrong, the whole situation, but I don't want her fired and all that for it.

But our side is like, we got to get them back.

Did you see the guy we had on yesterday?

Colin Moriarty, the gamer,

he said it was an amicable split, but he's no longer with his company.

He's huge, but I think it's because of the joke he made last week

where,

because his partner came out and said he says a lot of stupid things that he shouldn't be saying, blah, blah, blah.

And he shows up right after being on our show.

And then he says, oh, by the way,

we've split in our partnership.

Oh, wow.

I think that guy lost his gig.

because of a joke.

I mean,

Glenn Beck.

The fusion of entertainment

and enlightenment.

And enlightenment.

We are one.

The Glenn Beck Program.

The Glenn Beck Program.

H2TA-727-BEC.

Quickly, I just just want to play this audio that is we've all known about it, but Breitbart has just released it because the White House wanted it released.

Here it is.

There are basically two things that I want to make really clear.

This is

Paul Ryan.

So this is not new.

We've known he said this for a long time, right?

The White House is just releasing this.

This is about the Access Hollywood

annex on the Bus.

This is old news, but Bannon and Breitbart want this out because they're starting to distance themselves from Ryancare or Trump Care.

More in a minute.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

So did you hear Beauty and the Beast is now has an adults only rating in Russia?

Yeah, and it was banned from some Alabama theater.

And now the Anglican church is apparently warning people about it over its homosexual content.

Okay, all right.

Can somebody explain this to me?

Because every time I read these stories, I don't see the homosexual content.

I see a bunch of people trying to make Gaston's little buddy into being gay.

And maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.

I don't know.

He's a cartoon.

So I.

On the cartoon, I never thought he was gay.

Right.

Did you?

He's a little.

He's weird, right?

He's weird, but so is Gaston in a narcissistic way.

Disney always puts these wacky characters into their character.

You know, guys, here's the thing.

May I just say this, on the gay character in Beauty and the Beast, tell me, first of all, what is the Anglican church saying?

That people

should probably not go.

They alerted the congregation about the film's openly gay subplot.

And

we've seen the scene they're talking about, and I don't see anything openly gay about it.

He sings the song that they sing in the cartoon.

That nobody was saying, yes.

No one left like Gustavo.

He's just this weird, creepy little buddy.

And even if his creepy little buddy was gay, it doesn't make that there's not a gay agenda here.

And they never say it right.

I mean, they don't even exist.

I think you can take what you want to from this movie.

So when you always.

Yeah.

Yeah, always.

And this is what they always do.

And look, I don't want Disney

doing this with my kids.

All my kids are old enough now, but I mean, I don't want to have to explain that to my four and five-year-olds.

Right?

Yeah.

I mean, you don't want to get into open.

But could I just say this?

May I ask everybody who is up in arms for something that is not spoken

and is apparently in people's heads, whether it's true or not, it goes,

it's not spoken.

Okay.

May I just ask you this?

You have a problem with that relationship,

but not the relationship of the big beast with horns, the half animal thing that wants to make it with Belle, openly is trying to get in with Belle.

You don't have a problem with that one.

Holding her prisoner.

Can we relax?

It's beauty and the freaking beast.

Holding her prisoner.

Yeah, right.

Right.

Come on.

It's a fair point.

I would think the bestiality concerns her.

I would think the bestiality.

His name is the first part of bestiality.

We might have our priorities wrong on the boycotting of this film if you are going to boycott for sexual reasons beauty and the bestiality.

That'd be an interesting new title.

Yes.

I mean, I just don't.

I don't get it.

Also, in the original story, I understand that the father exchanges his life for his daughters, which is a pretty bad example to set for kids.

Right?

I mean,

that's not a good message for our kids either.

Right.

That's in the original book.

Yeah, that's in the original book.

So, but there were no gay people in the book, were there?

No.

Okay, good.

All right, good.

Good golly.

Good, good, good.

Just a really bad dad, bestiality, and no gay characters, so we're all careful.

Good.

Well, just a little bit of bestiality, right?

Because the beast is going to become a human again, you hope.

Well, yeah, it's like Princess and the Frog.

She hopes, but how many frogs do you have to kiss?

You know what I'm saying?

Mm-hmm.

Never mind.

I mean, frogs are doing that all the time just to get kissed.

Right.

How many times have you woken up with somebody next to you kissing a frog, right?

Don't ask Jeffy that question.

So I saw Kong last night.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, was it everything you anticipated?

Well, with an exception of

Kong looking into the eyes of the woman, thinking, oh, yeah, baby.

More bestiality.

More bestiality.

I was really upset about it, but he was looking at this girl like

i want a piece of that and i'm thinking you're way too big you're it's not gonna work out for you

not gonna work out for you just saying size does matter in that particular case um

i i thought it was really good i thought it was really good it was uh the first

uh the first kong that i think i really liked and it didn't have the you know erotic him holding her in the hand underneath the waterfall.

It was like, okay, I got it.

I got it.

It didn't have any of that.

I really liked, I liked the storyline of this.

I think this was a very good

sequel to

Godzilla.

And you do have to stay after all the titles.

You're not going to give anything away, but you say, don't, don't leave.

Nope, don't leave.

Don't leave.

but they're doing it right you know who's really blowing it is dc comics

oh no first of all is anybody interested in is anybody interested in seeing wonder woman anybody anybody hello the trailer looks good

i mean i'm not interested in the movie i don't like any of those movies but the trailer looks are you interested in only seeing wonder woman

not that particular one yeah right not that version pat any interest to seeing wonder woman no no i mean

no wonder woman Woman is not, you know, these are guy movies.

And Wonder Woman was not.

But I love movies where the, you know, like Angelina Jolie has been in about 60 of them.

Where the female, hot female beats the crap out of everybody.

That's not the same asale.

That's not right.

That's not the same as Wonder Woman.

No.

Like the one with Angelina Jolie was in that game.

I don't even know the game, but I was a fan of the game after she was in it.

Laura Croft.

Oh, Tomb Raider.

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking of that.

Wanted she was in.

What was she in?

Wanted was one of them.

She was really good in.

There was another one.

Whatever.

I loved it.

Don't be afraid of it.

That was a great thing.

Got it.

Got it.

Got it.

Got it.

That's not Wonder Woman.

That is what they're going for.

It seems like she looks really good, and she's kicking everybody's butt.

I mean, that is.

Seemingly she's wearing this stupid red, white, and blue little...

Well, that's the costume of the character.

I know.

It's just very skimpy.

Yeah, whatever.

And she's

anyway, I have no desire to see it.

And I think DC Comics, they're just not rebooting these things right.

They're trying to rush them all.

Where, like, for instance, Godzilla, it came out, it was good.

Wait a couple of years.

Then the next one comes out and it's good.

And it tells us the next one is Mothra and whatever.

Good.

Then in 2020, it's going to be Godzilla and King Kong.

These are just the things I'm reading.

This is open.

Good.

Do good movies, and we'll continue to follow them.

DC Comics is just, I don't know, they're just, they're blowing it, I think.

Everybody.

Who cares that much about this?

I definitely don't care about it at all.

But every time we talk about it, we get 65 million people, I can't believe you said DC Comics Latinos actually sold a Sony, and then Sony sent it to Toshiba, and then Samyo picked it up for three episodes of a a cartoon short.

How could you not get that right?

I don't care about it.

That's how I don't get it right.

I don't care about it.

That's why I don't get it right.

That's not the point, Stu.

That's not the point.

But

I want to see a good movie.

I just like movies.

I'm a big movie fan.

I love movies.

The comic people are almost as obnoxious as the fair tax people.

Yes, it's pretty close.

It's really close.

Yes, this is.

It's really close.

And now we're going to get the fair tax.

Oh, no.

The fair tax.

Why would you say something bad about the fair tax?

I didn't.

I didn't.

Fair tax is not a comic book.

Don't you think we all need to grow a little past our bubble?

You know, if you're a fair tax person, relax.

You're a DC comic person,

relax.

Yeah.

You're a Mothra fan.

I know it's been a long time since somebody's dressed up as a giant moth.

Relax.

You don't get as many hardcore Mothra fans.

You really don't, you know.

You really don't.

That universe is limiting.

I would say it's limited.

Rafe, something happens at the end past the titles, and Rafe

threw his arms up and he was like, yes.

And everybody in the theater just turned around, looked at him, just laughed.

I was like, he's 13.

Yes.

Look, you're in

the Glenn Beck Program.

I always say that I like to lead with my mistakes, and I saw the trailer for Wonder Woman, and I'm strangely saying.

I have to say I'm interested.

This may be the best movie of all time.

This may be, wow, Wonder Woman.

I like the little outfit.

It looks great, doesn't it?

It looks important.

It does look important.

I'm not going to that movie for any other reason other than it looks like an important film.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Wrong was I.

DC Comics might be the greatest

studio target.

The other ones suck.

We're all won over by the traditional.

Who wants to see Thor?

Right?

Am I right?

Is there another one?

Is there another one coming?

I don't know.

I love that there is.

I'm just thinking about Wonder Woman.

No, they're just going to stop the franchise.

They're just like, ah, Thor.

They were making how much money for this?

It's too much money.

Yeah.

At some point, you've made enough money.

Thank you.

They're just going in the Barack Obama promise.

I mean, Stan Lee, now at the end of his life,

he's just rolling in the dough.

I mean, he's had some money over the years, hasn't he?

No, he has made money over the years, but not like this.

I mean, can you imagine?

He at least gets to see,

you know, Walt Disney really didn't get to see very much of what he created.

I mean, I think he'd be blown away.

Look at what Stan Lee has seen.

You know, the comic book thing was very, very successful.

But now Marvel Studios, Disney, I mean, that's incredible.

That's incredible what they've done.

But anyway, Wonder Woman, big supporter of her.

Big.

Big supporter of her.

Well, it's funny because one of the things they, if you, I remember the, uh, you know, this, the stupid superhero movies when I was growing up, and they were fun and jokey and campy.

What they've done with all of these characters is make it into serious fair, right?

I mean, they've gone from silly, you know, at times.

You know, Christopher Reeve as Superman, that some of that was just ridiculous.

It was Superman 2.

I love Superman.

I love the second movie.

It's one of the most bizarre movies of all time, and the story behind it is even more bizarre because they made it halfway, and then they decided to go back with a different director and then make it a totally different way.

And add, I think they added all the cheesy, campy jokes in it because they thought it wasn't going to be funny enough.

It's a crazy story.

And yet, somehow it worked.

Someone watch it now.

Was that the one where they get out of the

space prison and they come down

in the town facade?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first one was terrible.

The third one was really bad.

Was it the one with

Richard Pryor?

Who's thinking that's like

one of the worst movies ever made?

Richard Pryor.

And then the the fourth one was the nuclear

war one.

Oh, yeah.

But the second one was a little bit more than one.

I am so happy to say I think I stopped at number two.

Really?

You stopped before

Richard Pryor?

Yes.

Wow.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

That was a mistake.

I mean, for Richard Pryor.

But yeah, no, it was

that was not a good series of movies.

But you look at what they've, they took all, they've taken all of those characters that were in cartoons or jokey and campy and made them all into really serious, dramatic, action-packed movies.

Yeah.

Good guys or bad guys.

And you see it.

Everything's doubled down.

You see it with

both Star Trek and Star Wars too.

I mean, Star Wars, the original, are great.

I'm a big fan.

But like, they took those movies that were at times sort of silly and campy.

You know, and I mean, Star Trek, too.

I like the fact that they've taken them seriously.

And they take them seriously.

Like, I think that's great.

But you realize those movies have improved.

Like, the new Star Trek movies, I think, are great.

Oh, they're really good.

I really like them.

But you go back and you watch that as compared to the Talking Rock on the

Star Trek movies

for J.J.

Abrams.

Go back and watch, you know, even those.

Oh, some of those I thought were really good.

They were good.

The even-numbered ones were good.

Wait, what?

The even-numbered Star Treks were good.

Two, four, six, and I think eight were good.

And actually, three was good, but it's an odd number, so nobody gives it any credit.

I'm not familiar.

One, five, and seven were terrible, but two, three, four, six, and eight were pretty good.

Now, is that something that you usually only

discuss while speaking Klingon?

Because

I've never heard that theory before.

You seriously haven't?

No, I've not heard that.

Oh, come on.

That's a prevalent theory.

The Star Wars even number.

I don't either.

Well, I'm just trying to wonder where you heard that.

In fact, it seems to me that you once owned the 4,000-page Star Trek Enterprise technical manual, if I'm not mistaken.

That was.

And I never lived.

That was a gift.

That was a gift.

And I will say, Pat, you were just as fascinated with that manual as I was.

No, I really wasn't.

I didn't read a page of it.

Not one page.

Fantastic.

In case you were thinking, wait a minute, do I not know what the word prevalent means?

It means widespread in a particular area at a particular time.

So I don't know if prevalent theory.

I guess a particular area in Pat's head

for a particular time, maybe it would fit.

Look it up.

Google Star Trek even-numbered movies.

Look at it.

You'll find out.

Even-numbered.

That's probably how he found it by

the Star Trek even-number theory.

Oh my gosh, it's an actual actual thing.

This is just yet another piece of evidence that everything exists on the internet, right?

But yes, there are people who have tried to prove this statistically.

Sad, isn't it?

It's sad.

And you know what's really sad is this part of the show makes sense more sense than the actual reality part of the show.

Rand Paul

next.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

The Pope has come out and said that it's about time for priests to be married.

Wow, that's big.

That's a huge deal.

German official wants $50 million fines for social media hate posts.

Looks like the blizzard in New York City is a bust.

Taxpayers are not filing their return, or at least they're procrastinating.

Gee, I wonder why.

Maybe it's because nobody has money.

And we have Rand Paul on to talk about Obamacare, a guy who is standing firm on repeal.

Rand Paul joins us right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Rand Paul's joining us in just a few minutes, waiting for him.

He's stuck on the floor.

We're waiting for him to call in.

One thing to talk about changing an allegiance to another country when a new president is elected, there's another thing in going ahead and doing it.

But that is what seems to be happening

with New Zealand.

The number of Americans who have applied to grant citizenship rose to 170 in the 12 weeks following the election, up from 100

for the same period last year.

You know, what's really weird is

nobody used to want to give up their American citizenship.

Nobody would ever do that.

Now,

the number of people who are renouncing their citizenship or looking for citizenship elsewhere, dual citizenship, is remarkable.

Why in the past when we were growing up, why would anyone need another passport?

Why would you want another passport?

You didn't need it.

It was the opposite.

It was the opposite.

The world wanted the American passport.

Now,

look at the number of people that are saying, I want out of this.

And I'm not sure that it is

because of Donald Trump.

I think it's New Zealand, for one, is a place that everybody thinks is just going to be left alone because it's, you know, out in the middle of nowhere.

And so they just think, oh, well, I'm going to go to New Zealand and I'll escape whatever is coming.

I don't think so.

I mean,

China,

if China expands, if the United States falls and China doesn't, China expands

and takes over that entire side of the globe.

You want to live under Chinese rule?

Not so much.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

If you could get citizenship anywhere, where would you get it?

St.

Kitts.

It's available for $250,000.

Not that you've looked?

Not that I've looked.

Not you you've looked and Comoros is going to be the cheapest option for you guys if you need to have Comoros.

It's off the cost.

The cost of Madagascar.

And for about $40,000 per person.

You can just buy citizenship.

You can buy citizenship.

Citizenship.

Most of these countries you can buy.

Many of them.

Yeah.

They don't say it that way, but they say if you invest in our country.

I will say,

Chinese threat aside,

if I was going to go anywhere else, it would probably be Australia or New Zealand because those are just beautiful countries

and a long way from everybody else yeah new zealand has pretty stayed pretty much off the radar for everybody yeah new zealand would new zealand would be one of them i i canada would be an obvious choice because it's so much like us it's like our little brother sister yeah canada would be second cousin twice removed or something the the other thing i don't know if you can marry though isn't it kind of like marrying your sister i mean you can't leave this citizenship and go to that one it's yeah your children will be born with all kinds of defects and everything else i think they're too close But

the other one is that nobody wants to do is

Israel.

I would do Israel in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't mind Israel either.

You know, there's the obvious terrorist threat.

Yeah, I know, but at least they're going to stand.

And they take it pretty seriously.

Yeah, you're going to be a ground zero with a bunch of people who are wide awake.

And I could see a duel, but

why renounce?

I wouldn't.

I don't think I would require a double.

I don't want to renounce.

I I wouldn't renounce.

Let me go to Rand Paul, who is with us.

Hey, Rand, how are you, sir?

Hey, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

You bet.

Tell us the Obamacare thing.

This is, you know, yesterday,

Paul Ryan said, oh, the numbers from CBO look great, while Donald Trump was saying we can't pay attention to the CBO numbers.

And I don't even know what the GOP is thinking.

This is not what they promised the people.

You know, I first started running in about 2009, was elected in 2010 on repealing Obamacare.

We ran on it in 2014, 2016.

Every time we won, we won on a message of completely repealing the thing.

In fact, some of the leadership, I was at their speeches saying, repeal the thing, root and branch, tear it out, root and branch.

And now they want to only partially repeal it and replace it with Obamacare Light.

So it's really a disaster.

And I'm doing everything possible to say, let's keep our promise.

And our promise was to completely repeal it, not replace it with, you know, Ryancare or Obamacare Light.

So we talked to

Mike Lee yesterday, and he seems pretty tough on this

as well.

Do you have any allies there that are going to stand?

Mike and I are going to the White House today with a few other people, and we're going to keep telling them what we've been telling them.

We need to separate repeal from replace, and there are good aspects of replace that we do need to talk about, but we need to do just repeal.

We don't agree with Paul Ryan that we should keep subsidies, that we should keep the Obamacare taxes, that we should keep the mandate, and that we should bail out the insurance companies.

Those things we just are never going to agree with him on.

So he needs to strip those off the bill.

Let's do a clean repeal.

But then replace the mistake Paul Ryan's making is there are aspects of replace that would give millions of people health insurance, would give millions of people health insurance at a lower cost.

And these are the buying pools that I've I've been talking about.

If we let people join a healthcare association, imagine this, people that belong to credit unions.

There's probably

10 million people in the country that belong to credit unions.

What if they had one person negotiating with them, with the insurance company?

They'd have 10 million people that would be negotiating a great deal on price.

That would bring prices down.

And when you have that many people, you get to demand the terms of the contract, which means they won't drop you.

They won't raise the rate if your spouse gets sick.

This is part of the way the marketplace would work if we free it up.

But nobody's talking about the good aspects.

They're all talking about how many people get Medicaid when in reality, wouldn't you rather have real insurance than Medicaid?

Randy, a lot of people are saying that

you can't get a full repeal unless you have 60 votes and you don't have 60 votes.

What do you say to that criticism?

Well, there is a technical aspect to the way the budget works that they're saying that repealing all the regulations, like preexisting mandate, all the essential health care mandates, all these things that dictate what goes into your insurance that are part of Obamacare, they may be technically right, that the way their laws are written or the rules are written about the budget, that we can't do it on the budget reconciliation.

There are other people making the argument, and Senator Cruz is one saying that we should challenge that, that the budget act actually says the person sitting in the chair, the senator, makes a decision, not the parliamentarian.

I think that's a discussion worth having.

So what are the odds?

You're going to the White House today.

Who are you meeting with?

You know, that's still undetermined.

It may be with the president.

It may be with some of the president's advisors.

I think it is worth going because the president has said he is open to the negotiation.

He needs to know how unhappy conservatives are and that conservatives did not run on a message of Obamacare light.

And I'll take that message.

But I'll also take the message that it's been a mistake for them to put repeal and replace together.

Because if they pass repeal and replace together and it's Obamacare light and the insurance rates still continue to go through the roof and the thing continues to unravel, we're going to be blamed for all of this.

I think we should put forth also a separate replacement bill that includes expanding the health savings accounts, buying pools, getting rid of all the regulatory mandates.

We need to put that forward separately, win or lose.

We need to have a vision for how we'd make things better.

But my fear is if they pass Obamacare Light, Light, that the insurance markets will continue to unravel.

In fact, they believe that also.

That's why they're putting the bailout of the insurance companies in there.

They understand that the insurance markets will still unravel and that Obamacare Light's not going to work either.

That's why they have the bailout of the insurance companies in there.

What about the argument, Rand, that, you know, we've got Obamacare, we know that's an F, and this is at least a slight improvement on it.

Shouldn't we take the slight improvement rather than stick with Obamacare?

You know, there were two articles written last week predicting that it gets worse.

Now, one of them is by somebody who's almost always opposed to us, Paul Krugman, but occasionally he makes a valid point.

And the other one is by Megan McCartle.

They both make the point that if you let people buy insurance after they're sick, they will.

And that's why the insurance premiums are going up.

Healthy people are not buying it, and sicker and sicker people are getting in the insurance pool.

That continues after Obamacare is repealed if you replace it with Ryancare, because under Ryan's plan, they still let people buy insurance after they're sick, but they get rid of the individual mandate to it.

If you keep part of Obamacare, the idea that you can buy insurance after you're sick, the insurance markets don't work.

And it actually probably is worse under Ryan's bill than it is currently.

Yeah, but at least we don't have the taxes.

At least, I mean, this is the case that, yeah, we, yes, it's going to fail, it's going to be awful, but at least this

mitigates some of the pain for some some people?

Well, and it all depends on where you want to measure it from.

So if we want to measure it from what we promised, complete repeal, then you'd get rid of all the taxes, and then you'd also get rid of all the mandates as well and the cost.

Right now they're saying, oh, it's going to save $300 billion.

Well, complete repeal would save about a trillion dollars.

So really, they're comparing it to keeping Obamacare, but no one really advocated.

No Republicans have been advocating for keeping Obamacare.

So we should compare their proposal to

complete repeal.

If you have complete repeal, you're going to save the taxpayer, you know, probably a couple trillion dollars, because not only about $800 billion in taxes, you're going to save the taxpayer about a trillion dollars in expenses.

And when people talk about Medicaid and, oh, we're going to do all this with Medicaid, realize they're borrowing the money from China.

We have no money up here.

It's not free.

It's what I call dishonest accounting.

Obama said, oh, here, you can all have free Medicaid.

But the problem is there's no money up here.

We borrow $1 million a minute and owe $20 trillion,

so it's not really free.

It's dishonest accounting.

What we should be trying to do is get people less expensive insurance and better insurance.

And you can do that by freeing up people in the individual market to join a group so they can get a lower price.

How do you respond to the Democrat criticism that if you repeal this bill, then so many millions of Americans are going to lose the insurance they have?

I think you have to talk about what our replacement should be.

Ryan's talking about replacement being Obamacare light.

And so when he cuts the subsidies in half but keeps them, that's the argument he's stuck in.

So instead of insuring the government insuring $24 million, the government's still going to insure people under Ryan's plan, but half as many.

What we really need to be talking about is instead of

how many the government's going to insure, we should be talking about how the marketplace could insure people.

Right now, there's 11 million people in the individual market.

This is where the real problem is.

And I recognize the problem and I'm very sympathetic to it.

I've practiced medicine for 20 years.

I know what a hardship it is for people.

But if you are a plumber and it's you and your wife on your plan and you buy insurance by yourself, you're an insurance pool of two, people do worry that their wife or their spouse gets cancer and their rates go through the roof or they get kicked off their insurance.

Our plan, our replacement plan, the replacement plan I put forward two months ago would allow every plumber, every person in pest control, every individually owned person who has a small business, we would let them join a group.

If my plan were to pass, there would be no one left in the country that doesn't have a plan that doesn't have preexisting protection, not because the government mandates it, but because we allow them to join a group.

What person in the country would not join a group?

And even a business, let's say your business there that you have 400 employees, wouldn't you rather be in a pool of 4,000 or 4 million?

And you would be able to do that.

You could join a credit union.

You could join NFIB.

You could join

any group.

I have 300 employees.

I have 251 employees or something like that.

And that's not a big enough group.

And if I could join a bigger group, I would join a bigger group because my insurance rates go down.

What are the odds of getting a vote on your bill, Rand?

Do you think there's any chance of it coming to at least see where people stand on it?

You know, two months ago, it was zero.

Now I'd say about 10 or 20 percent.

Even yesterday, see, here's the thing, and this is what Paul Ryan has not done a very good job with.

Paul Ryan actually agrees, and so does Tom Price.

They actually agree with the health associations, the buying pools.

But they haven't been talking about it because they think replacement is half of Obamacare.

They think it's keeping the subsidies and all that.

So they haven't been talking about the really good market stuff that actually doesn't cost the government anything.

Letting people join insurance pools and letting them join a nationwide group insurance pool or a buying pool doesn't cost the government anything.

If they would have been talking about that as the replacement and saying we'd put it forward at the same time, instead they're talking about some of the things I'm talking about in phase three, which is, I don't know, a year from now, six months from now, no one is going to be talking about this.

Once the vote is over on repeal, the debate is over.

So the replacement needs to be exactly at the same time.

And because they're not talking about the good stuff that could come from repeal, all we're hearing is about the Republicans are meanies and going to cut off all the free

insurance, the free subsidies, and the free government insurance.

That's why you have to talk about replacement at the same time.

It's why I brought replacement up two months ago because we need to be talking about the good things that the marketplace could do if we released and unleashed the marketplace.

Yeah, real quick, I'm out of time, but is there any sense up on the hill from the Republicans?

Have they learned a single damn lesson that if they screw the American people on health care,

ram it through in the middle of the night like Obama did, or don't really fully repeal this thing, that they're just not going to win in 18.

Is there any sense that they've learned anything?

It's amazing that people have gotten elected and are completely clueless about the politics of this.

The people who elected us elected us for complete repeal.

So you're going to make the people who voted for you very unhappy, and then you're splitting the baby by giving us Obamacare light, and it's not going to work.

I promise you, if the Ryan bill passes, insurance premiums will still rise.

And so, a year from now, insurance premiums are going to be going up 20%.

There's still going to be only one insurer or no insurer in half the markets or more, and everybody's going to be going, well, Republicans did it.

Republicans gave us this Ryan plan, and it's worse.

I promise you, it's going to be worse.

So, we need to be introducing the market repeals, whether they win or lose.

And in fact, if Democrats vote against the replacement package that we put up separately, then it's on them.

It's not on us if they won't vote for our replacement bill.

Rand, thank you so much.

We'll be saying a prayer for your visit to the White House today, you and Mike Lee.

And we sincerely wish you luck and blessings that somehow or another ears will hear you.

Thank you so much, Rand.

I appreciate it.

Thanks, Mike.

All right, let me tell you about Goldline.

There's a couple of things.

Turkey says the migrant deal has ended and may unleash millions of refugees.

They're punching back at Europe.

There is another story today that says

it looks like 2017 is going to be the year of the big reset.

That's what they're calling it.

The tipping point and why people think this is the big reset and the next big short.

We have

all kinds of tension

that's happening around the world.

I don't know if you saw what's happening with North Korea, but we're doing military exercises again just outside of North Korea.

North Korea is saying this is a threat, that we're trying to

perform some sort of a coup on

North Korea.

Anything can happen, and when it does, we will have the big reset.

This big reset, I believe, will push us into a global digital cashless society.

We went from 285 billion cashless transactions five years ago to 426 billion last year.

That's a 50% increase, and that's just by letting the market happen.

Cashless society is coming, whether you like it or not.

I want you to read Goldline's information, their updated free cashless society risk report.

You don't have to buy anything.

Just ask them for that.

Read their important risk information on gold and silver and see if it's right for you.

But please read this information from Goldline at 1-866-GOLDLINE.

Very excited for this week of serials begins today.

It is the history of communism.

This one of the things that I don't think the youth has ever been taught.

And this is something that we need to get out to everybody who

thinks communism is communing with nature, I think.

Yeah, no, they do.

They think socialism is a way to communicate.

So socialism and communism, the truth on communism, all this week on the serials, it begins next.

But you can find it at glennbeck.com slash serial please take this and spread this to everyone you know the truth on communism in four episodes the first one is coming up next

the glenbeck program

The Glenbeck Program

We've always been told that genocidal dictators of the world, oh, they're just manifestations of the hateful right.

That the left-wing icons like Che, Mao, Stalin need to be understood in context.

But we live in a time that seems to move faster than time, a place that seems to have no place for truth, a reality that seems to have no connection to reality.

So, to get our feet on solid ground for the future, we must first walk through the past with our eyes wide open.

Government is not the solution to our problem.

Government is the problem.

That is modern conservatism in a nutshell.

Yet we're always told that Nazi Germany, who controlled every aspect of citizens' lives, is somehow conservative or right-wing.

Is it true?

Or is it an attempt to distract us from other, much more inconvenient similarities?

Author of Liberal Fascism, The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning, explains.

They say, you know, Hitler was a right-winger because of X, Y, and Z.

I say, well, what was Stalin's position on X, Y, and Z?

The common assumption is that the Nazis were a right-wing phenomenon, they were a right-wing party, that Hitler was a man of the right and all the rest.

And there are a lot of problems with this.

His social agenda was for expanding universal access to health care, for expanding access to education, it was for cradle-to-grave welfare estate, it was for attacking big business and high finance.

People say, well, Hitler abolished labor unions.

He was right wing then.

Well, how did labor unions do under Stalin?

Under Fidel Castro?

Almost anything you can find on a checklist that allegedly proves Hitler was a right-winger, you can apply to almost any one of the major communist dictators of the 20th century, and the similarities are almost identical.

Today, this idea may seem controversial, but as the Nazis were rising to power, it wasn't controversial.

It was common knowledge.

November 28th, 1925, a tiny article printed in the New York Times describing the early internal struggle for the identity of the Nazis.

A riot broke out after a Nazi speaker claimed that Lenin was the greatest man second only to Hitler, and the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was very slight.

The communists in the Reichstag voted almost uniformly with the Nazis.

They voted in lockstep, and the slogan for the communists in the Reichstag was, first brown, then red.

The general understanding among the communists, among socialists back then, was that Nazism was a stepping stone.

towards the ultimate victory of socialism and communism.

While Hitler certainly opposed communism outwardly, he did so mainly because he disagreed with its internationalism.

He was a proud German, a German nationalist, a German jingoist, not a patriot, but a nationalist, and he rejected that element of Marxism.

But he embraced socialism entirely.

He embraced the idea of racial solidarity, of socialism for one race.

Even in Mein Kampf, he acknowledged that the movements were so close that if not for the focus on race, his National Socialist movement would really do nothing more than compete with Marxism on its own ground.

But Nazi Germany had no corner on the market of racism and anti-Semitism.

Marx, we need to remember, was Jewish.

He was a self-hating Jew.

He rejected Judaism and all the rest, but he was Jewish.

And Hitler hated,

you know, hated Jews.

I mean, this is not a news flash.

Hitler was a passionate anti-Semite, and he saw Marxism as corrupted

with a deep-seated Jewish nature.

The irony here is that so did Marx.

Marx was a real anti-Semite.

He wrote about the Jewish problem a generation before the Nazis started talking about the Jewish problem.

He said how we had to purge the Jewish spirit from Western civilization, from global civilization.

He had horrible racist things to say about Jews and of blacks.

And Hitler very much inherited that Marxist analysis when it came to things like Jews and other races.

Sometimes it's hard to tell Hitler and Marx apart.

Who wrote that Germany's neighbors should accept the physical and intellectual power of the German nation to subdue, absorb, and assimilate its ancient Eastern neighbors?

That's Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of the Communist Manifesto, almost a century before the Holocaust.

Hitler's underlying admiration for Marxism was obvious.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler writes about the Nazi Party flag, which is this big red flag with a white disc in the middle and the swastika in the center.

Hitler explains quite clearly in Mein Kampf that the red, the big sea of red that the swastika was in, was intended to attract socialists to his movement.

The red flag was the emblem of the communists.

That's the reason why we call them the Reds.

But it went deeper than similar ideology and imagery.

Until Germany launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union in 1941, the Nazis and the Soviets worked together.

They even put it in writing, signing what was originally sold as a non-aggression pact.

But just weeks later, they would invade Poland from opposite sides.

But is this just a story of brutal iron-fisted dictators?

Or something inherent in the philosophy?

The fathers of communism, Marx and Engels, believed that societies would evolve from capitalism to socialism.

But they acknowledged that there were still what they called primitive societies that hadn't even evolved into capitalists yet.

They called them racial trash.

As the revolution happens, the classes and the races too weak to master the new conditions of life must give way.

There was only one thing left for those too far behind in the process of societal evolution.

The chief mission of all other races and peoples, large and small, is to perish in the revolutionary Holocaust.

All of these systems are based on the idea that we know better, that the little people are getting in the way of our plan, and, well, we'll just go around them, and then we have to destroy them.

This arrogance always ends exactly the same way.

One of history's worst examples, the genocide you've never heard of.

We share that in the next episode.

Tomorrow in the Glenbeck program, in chapter two of The Truth About Communism, you'll learn how Stalin intentionally starved his own people.

Listen live or online at Glenbeck.com slash serials.

I will tell you that

Jonah Goldberg

taught a lot of this to me just in his book, Liberal Fascism, that if you haven't read, some of that interview actually came out from that time when we were doing a serial on liberal fascism years ago.

And you'll notice in that how

he is talking about nationalism.

And you hear that he's just, he's comparing nationalism to Nazism.

And we, nobody batted an eye.

Everybody knew that, you know, 40 years ago.

Everyone knew that nationalism was the stepping stone to Nazism.

Populism, nationalism.

Now, not so much.

Glenn Beck Program.

Triple 8-727-BAC.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

All right.

So yesterday, the CBO came out and Paul Ryan said, these numbers are pretty good, right?

This is better than expected.

And Donald Trump said they were so bad that you shouldn't trust the CBO.

Yeah.

I don't know.

Are they on the same team?

Gingrich said it was so bad that they're corrupt and they should be disbanded.

Yes.

So can we, what's the truth here, Stu?

Well, there's some.

The big stumbling block for the Trump administration is that they're saying 14 million more people will be uninsured through this new bill, right?

Yes.

And they disagree with that because he wants everybody insured.

He promised that in September of 2015, right?

And means it too, that everybody will be insured.

Yeah.

And it will be a big, beautiful thing.

Medical care that you will not believe.

And, you know, look, there's some of this, like, let's start with the enrollment.

The enrollment numbers, while they look really bad, are actually not as bad as advertised.

These are different.

The new bill or the old one?

The new one.

So the difference of the new bill, the GOP bill, they're saying it's 14 million and it's even more than that going forward.

It's 20 something million

by 2026.

Yikes.

Those numbers are subtracted from what is projected from Obamacare, not that what's actually happening.

So it's an important distinction in that they're saying they're going to add another 9 million people to Obamacare.

And they're saying, well, they won't get those 9 million people.

But their projections have been way, way off so far.

And other outside organizations think that number is going to be more like,

it's going to be basically flat going forward on Obamacare under the current law.

There's a couple of other differences, but the difference,

if you want to look at it from, I think, a more rational perspective, you're looking at probably more like a shrinking of 5 million instead of 100%.

Why would I look at it from a rational perspective?

That doesn't make sense.

It doesn't get anybody elected.

We don't want to to do that at all.

It doesn't sell any newspapers.

Doesn't sell

TV.

No, no, no.

Listen to the radio.

It doesn't do any of it.

There's a good piece of Forbes.

I'll tweet out at World of Stew if you want to read the details as to where that $5 million number comes from.

Oh, my gosh.

Okay, I'm sorry.

No, okay.

That's all right.

No, no, no, tweet it out.

No, no,

if I could get you and Mike Lee together, just talking stat.

Oh, my gosh, it'd be great.

Another number you're seeing is $337 billion of deficit reduction.

So this this is going to help the budget by $337 billion over 10 years.

Now, there's a couple of ways to look at that.

One, the way the left is trying to point it out is $337 billion isn't that much of a savings over 10 years.

They're projecting another $8.6 trillion

over that time period.

So $337 billion isn't that much.

However, it's a little bit better than that when you look at the details of how they get to $337 billion,

which is they are cutting something like $1.2 trillion in spending, and then in addition to that, cutting $880 billion of taxes.

So they're cutting spending pretty dramatically, and they are cutting taxes pretty dramatically.

And the effect of that is a $337 billion deficit reduction.

So, I mean, look, cutting a $1.2 trillion is not nothing.

And $880 billion of taxes is not nothing.

So those are both, those are two pretty good pieces of this.

I think by saying $300 billion in deficit reduction, it makes it look like nothing.

It's not nothing.

I mean, it's not as good as I want.

It's not as good as Rand Paul is offering, but it's not nothing.

There is

the whole idea of premiums is really sort of sticky in that they expect premiums.

The CBO, again, if you trust them,

predicts premiums will rise.

With my life.

Rise.

Premiums will rise by about 20%

right away.

That's what Rand Paul said.

What?

Yes.

However, over the long term, they'll actually drop.

By 2020 or or something.

Yeah, by 2020, it'll be actually 10% lower, which is a big savings when it comes to healthcare, 10% lower.

But it's going to take a long time.

The point there is that you don't survive enough elections to actually enforce the 2020 guidelines because you're going to lose because of the early increases.

And that's a

big problem.

The cutting of the Planned Parenthood thing is pretty interesting.

They think they'll save $234 million that would go to Planned Parenthood.

However, there would be $77 million.

Well, they're getting $500 million now.

Where's the rest of that savings?

They get $500 million in federal funding now.

I don't know.

It's in the CBO report.

That's their summary, but I have not looked into the details.

You're right, though.

It is usually more than that.

But they say $234 million over 10 years would be saved, but $77 million

would actually be lost because we'd have all these new babies to deal with.

That is illegitimate.

So we'd only save $156 million,

not $234, because there'd be $77 million in new baby costs, which, by the way, those are costs I like.

You know what?

People being alive,

good costs.

I'm okay with that.

Yeah, that's probably a good thing.

Another thing that's kind of interesting is Donald Trump in particular, but many Republicans,

criticize Democrats and Obamacare specifically for cutting Medicare and Medicaid expenditures.

They're were saying, well, you're taking money.

They're underfunding these programs, these important programs.

Now, at the time, we said, wait a minute, what are you talking about?

Aren't we Republicans?

All of a sudden, we're for these giant national programs.

Well, this plan, which Trump and Ryan obviously are both supporting,

maintains those cuts that they criticized throughout the entire,

you know, through 2012 all the way up.

uh to very recently.

So those remain, which makes you wonder if they actually cared about them in the first place.

My guess was no.

Your guess was no?

My guess was no.

Yeah.

My statement would be no.

Well, maybe they just changed their mind.

All of a sudden they just liked the opposite of what they used to like.

You know,

stack it a minute.

The Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Hello, America.

Welcome to the

Glen Beck program.

We're so glad that you have joined us today.

There's all kinds of crazy stuff going on.

We have to start.

Could we start, Pat, with Ashley Judd?

We can, yeah.

The statement.

I think we have to.

Have you had any friend say to you

when you've said to them, Hey, I know how you feel.

This is the way we felt under Barack Obama.

And they say, Oh, you cannot compare

Barack Obama to Donald Trump.

You cannot.

Okay, all right, I know.

One is a god, and the other a piece of trash.

I want you to, I want you to hear this comparison and share this with the friend that may have said that to you.

We go there right now.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice i will hold your hand because we are 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 why do they say that

why do they say that you know you can't say that about Barack Obama.

You cannot compare Barack Obama to

Donald Trump.

That's just outrageous.

You have to see the difference.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

We're told all the time that how dare you compare the Nazis to whatever?

How dare you compare the plight of the African-American with whatever?

Your Honor, if I I may, present Ashley Judd.

Tragedy, and it remains for me the worst thing that's ever happened to me in my lifetime.

You know, raped as a child, bad.

Reraped by a political system that ordains a clown,

really bad.

Wait, so

wait.

So

worse

than being molested as a child.

The election of Donald Trump.

She is comparing child rape

and saying that's bad, but you know what's worse?

Donald Trump.

And by the way, that is an actual comparison because she's saying one is worse than the other.

She's comparing the two.

What we usually do is not a comparison.

No, we're not comparing that to that.

That's not what we just did.

That is what she just did.

The political system, rape is worse than her actual rape as a child.

Because rape as a child

is just bad.

Yeah.

Rape by a guy you don't want to be president of the election.

The position of Donald Trump.

That's really bad.

Really bad.

Wow.

Stunning.

Wow.

These people are absolutely unhinged.

Absolutely unhinged.

You know, I said earlier

on today's show, and I think in the first hour,

until we get to a point to where we can

be intellectually honest with each other and intellectually rigorous with each other,

we're not going to solve anything.

Not going to solve anything.

If you want to condemn

me

for something,

Glenn Beck is just all hyperbole,

then you must condemn her.

I am waiting for someone.

I was talking to George Lang, who is my communist photographer friend.

He's not a communist.

He's practically a communist.

He thought the Cuban swimsuit thing that he was wearing.

He came over to my house years ago, and he had Cuban swimsuit, you know, Cuban flag swim trunks.

And he said he brought this because it was the American flag.

Now, he says he was joking, but I think he wasn't.

Anyway,

if you're a long-time listener of this program, you know and love George.

He's a great guy,

but he, you know, he lives in Boulder, Colorado.

He's a progressive.

And more, he's also a world-renowned photographer, which you have not included in the description.

Whatever.

So he's taking pictures of everybody.

Yeah, whatever.

He is a world-class photographer, a really good guy, and

communist.

And so

he was over at the house this weekend, and we were talking, and I said, George,

when will someone in the press

say

like Chuck Todd.

Now, I think Chuck Todd tries to be fair and honest.

If Chuck Todd would get on meet the press and say, I want to talk to half of the country, the half of the country that thinks that

we have been unfair.

I have personally

gone out on Facebook and everything else, and I have tried to listen to them, and I've tried to understand what you're feeling.

And I know that a lot of people try to make you into you know Nazis or hate mongers or you know you want to round everybody up

but I see

what you are going through and what you're feeling right now

and what you're feeling right now

is

your job your

your income hasn't grown in 15 years.

You're worried about how to put your kids through school.

You're worried about more regulation.

You're worried about all these things.

You're worried about health care.

And you believe that Barack Obama made these things worse.

And we made it worse for you because at the time, we didn't stop and really try to figure out who the person in the Tea Party was.

We dealt with you as a group.

And we took a few people who were part of just politics.

And I see our mistake right now.

Many of the people that marched were not part of politics.

They were really worried about the country and the Constitution.

And while that was happening,

we dismissed things from Barack Obama.

For instance,

he did more to silence the press than all other presidents combined.

He was wiretapping.

He was doing this.

He was doing that.

And we

thought somehow or another, well,

it's going to be okay.

But now that Donald Trump is in, we see that we should have been strong against these kinds of power in the country back then.

So while I can't prove to you until the next president comes out,

and he's a Democrat or she's a Democrat, I can't prove to you that we've learned our lesson.

But I will tell you, we're going to try to be more fair.

We're going to try to really listen to you.

We're going to try to see you beyond a label.

And we are going to hold this president's feet to the fire.

And here's what I can't prove.

We should have done it to the last president, and we didn't.

And so we're going to hold the feet to the fire to the next president.

But I ask for your forgiveness of the past.

And if we can, start over.

And if you don't believe me, just keep watching.

You'll see it in our actions.

Do you know how far that would go

to heal the nation and to start trusting the press again?

I said that to George, and nobody has gotten that until George.

And he finally stopped and listened, and he was like,

Okay,

okay, I get that.

Why can't the press see this?

Is it because, again, they're too far in their bubble and they don't have anyone?

Or do they just have an agenda?

They don't care.

I don't believe that.

I really don't believe that.

It's in their financial interest

to care about half the country.

And I've talked to many of them.

They do care.

It doesn't make sense to cut their ratings in half, to cut their newspaper subscriptions in half.

They don't want to.

The New York Times doesn't want to.

I'm convinced the people they're around

don't see the world the same way, and so they're

getting a second-hand view.

And that's what's happening.

And if we don't have some people in the media that will sit up and say, hey, this is what's going on, and be able to say, look,

what Ashley Judd did here

is crazy.

Is there any, could search Ashley Judd

upsets leftists, upsets Democrats.

Just Google search that real quick.

See if anything comes up.

What else could you search for to see if anybody on the left spoke out and said,

this is horrible?

I guess we could just look at that news story and see.

I mean, I'm looking at Breitbart, American Thinker.

No, those are all from the right.

Yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

Is there anybody, did any women's organization, any rape organization come out and say, oh, my gosh, as rape victims,

we are horrified by that.

Don't see anything like that.

No.

Why?

You know, if somebody said that on the right,

the Tides Foundation would have already had a raped women's of America America group that would pop up someplace and be protesting.

We have to stop using

these things

because the right reaction to this, quite honestly, is the reaction that most people are giving it right now.

She's nuts.

That's the right reaction.

Not a big protest, not a take her down, not a you've got to be silenced and make good for what you've said.

No, just blow her off.

The way, because the right isn't as well organized and doesn't have the mouthpiece of the press, the big national press,

the reaction up until recently of the right, is usually the right reaction because we don't have any teeth to us.

Whatever.

That's the way the left should be reacting to everything as well.

Whatever.

Because I think that's the way everybody else does.

But the politicians and the political parties and the advocacy groups that are really only about getting people elected, they are training us to get onto Facebook and be outraged by every single little thing.

We wouldn't have a problem in this country if somebody was saying a prayer, an atheist just went to their son and daughter.

Hey,

you live in a Christian country, and this is part of the culture, and we respect other people, and we just go along with it.

Unless it's like, and I pray for all the atheists, like the one in the third row, to wake up and come here, or they're going to burn in the fires of hell.

Then maybe I say something as an atheist parent.

But if you're just saying a prayer, get over it, man.

If you're a Christian and the Jewish person is getting up and saying a prayer, do you really have a problem with it?

Let it go.

If I am in Dearborn, Michigan,

and I'm at the school in Dearborn, Michigan,

and everybody there is Muslim, and I am the one Christian kid.

Do I go fight against the school?

No, I'm in Dearborn, Michigan, for the love of Pete.

That's what the local standard is.

Yeah, and I think

a lot of people take that as some, they have to be altruistic to do those things, like to not care.

Why should I be nice to them if they're not going to be nice to us?

Think of it selfishly.

Your life gets a hell of a lot better when you're not whining about what everyone else is doing.

You're going to feel better about your life.

Don't worry about being nice.

That's great.

That's a great side effect.

I taught something in

my Sunday school class this week.

It was about something our church calls the priesthood.

And it's, I said, if we had to boil the, if you had to boil the Bible down,

What would you boil it down to?

If I said you can only,

Old and New Testament, you could only take away one point for life

and teach one point for better living.

What would it be?

That it teaches you in the Bible.

What's the point of the Bible?

What is it teaching you?

If you can only boil it down to one thing, there are many laws, many things that you have to know, but it will boil it down to one thing.

What would it be?

Love.

Love, right?

Love.

In our church, we have what's called the priesthood, which is all men are this or priest and we have to serve.

I said, if you boil that down, what is it?

service

service

now how does that work

when you serve you want to serve God serve your fellow man when you serve you get out of yourself and you notice that your problems aren't so big

the universal secrets love and service if we were truly worried about our fellow man and actually going and engaging by doing more than giving speeches, actually going and serving,

so many of our problems would go away.

We'd stop whining about things.

Priesthood's a great example of that because you can't use it for your own benefit.

Correct.

You have to serve others with it.

Yeah, you can't bless yourself.

Mercury.

888727 back.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Oh, Pat's on a rant.

He's on a tirade.

Go ahead, Pat.

Oh, my God.

This Iowa High School basketball game story is so, well, it's four words.

Ag-nies-ing.

That's

for just those four words.

Sum the whole thing up.

This.

I think they're in the state tournament time, but Valley High School played Des Moines North.

And Valley has a tradition of, for big important games, dressing up in red, white, and blue.

They wear American flag colors.

Oh, my gosh.

And so they did that for this game.

Yo, right?

So the other team was all offended by the fact that the students in the student section were dressed in red, white, and blue.

Why?

Do you not live here too?

Could you not have dressed in red, white, and blue if you wanted to?

I think you could.

But one of the coaches said, what the hell were they thinking?

We're a diverse school with a diverse population of students.

And look, if you moved to Han America and you even come here illegally, you came here.

Came here for a reason.

For a reason, because we're better than your suck-ass country that you ran from.

So even if you're here illegally, there's not some like, hey, this is a great country.

I don't get it.

If you're so defended by the American flag, you need to get out.

You need to go home.

I mean, if you really don't, I don't understand it.

Then why did your family bring you here?

If it's not a better place, why did your family come here?

Listen to this Facebook posting of one of the moms of the other high school.

For the supporters of one team from a primarily white part of town to paint themselves as the team of the USA strongly implies that the other team, the less white team, is less American.

Okay, stop.

Don't say anything about you.

Here's what I would say to her.

Don't say anything about you.

Honey, that's you.

Right.

That's all coming from you.

That's right.

You're the red son.

You're thinking you think you're thinking that.

Sensibility.

If they were holding signs that say,

you're Americans, you're not.

Then that's, then I'll be with you.

But from what I know, just wearing red, white, and blue colors as a tradition, and you're coming in and you're some other race that I don't understand.

All races are welcome here in America.

And who should like the country more than its own citizens?

Right.

Refugees.

Yes.

That's who.

Yeah, you look outside.

Refugees.

And you see there's no ISIS fighters raping, torturing, and cutting the heads off of people, you're in a better place, right?

That's right.

And they mentioned specifically there are still a lot of people.

And many of them are refugees

in the article.

And

you could make the argument theoretically, and I don't think this would be a good argument, but you.

I'm grateful to this nation.

You could make the argument if they had never done this before.

But they do it all the time.

I don't even...

They're no then if you could.

I mean, it's still not saying anything about you unless you're taunting them.

Right, unless you're taunting them.

However,

they could win revolution.

They should be coming in red, white, and blue color.

Yes.

We've

saved you.

They could have.

Our country just saved you.

How about a thank you, America?

Agonizing.

Oh, my.

You're right.

Four words.

Egg, a niceing.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

What you're talking about with this red, white, and blue thing in Iowa is not new to the planet.

If you're in Norway, you're in Sweden, you fly the Swedish flag, and

you are considered the racist person on your block.

It's crazy.

So you can't show patriotism anymore.

No.

This is really interesting.

We actually have science to do here, though.

Thank you, Stu.

We have a Spoons segment here.

Now, for those of you who don't listen to the Patton Stew show, Spoons is...

Are there people who don't listen to the Pat and Stew show?

don't think so.

I don't think so.

I think that person exists.

You're talking down to people.

But yeah, Spoons is a segment of science in which we taste test the fabulous new food.

Very much against our will.

We don't want to eat while we're on the air.

We just have to for science.

We have to.

And the name was, it was titled Spoons because, number one, obviously, today we have ice cream.

We eat that with a spoon.

Also, spoons at the time was the only word Jeffy knew how to say.

Spoons.

Yeah, he would say that a lot to complicated political questions.

He would just answer spoons, and it didn't really make much sense, but I thought it fit here.

He's grown out of that.

Yeah,

a little bit.

He can now say

18.

He could say 18 now.

And he could say,

nasty bougie sauce.

He could say those things.

He's grown.

He's grown a lot.

So today, obviously, we have bluebell ice cream ice cream cone flavor.

Now, this, of course, is wonderful.

For those unfortunate souls in states without bluebell ice cream.

Why isn't this available

everywhere?

You need to move.

Seriously, why isn't this available?

Well, they had a little distribution issue

the last few months.

Yeah, we've heard that.

We don't care about it at all.

This is vanilla-flavored ice cream with dark chocolate-coated cone pieces.

Oh, my gosh.

Chopped roasted peanuts and a chocolate sundae sauce swirl.

Oh my gosh.

Let's take a little bite.

Oh, and it's right at that right point where you take it out of the freezer and it melts just a little.

Oh, my gosh.

This is good.

Okay.

Bluebell is the best ice cream ever.

I could do without chopped peanuts in it, but

it's good.

Oh, yeah.

I don't want peanuts in my ice cream.

Oh, yeah.

It's very chocolate.

I don't want nuts in any of my food.

Me neither.

Even Snickers bars.

This is a different candy.

I call it the Milky Way.

Even my payday bars.

Payday bars?

That's almost like 80% peanuts.

This is really good.

Really good.

I will say, key thing with ice cream is getting enough toppings in there.

And so far, very, very good on that front.

That's a key.

This is delicious.

Now, Now, what we normally do for science then is to rate the food item on a scale of one to 18 because 18 is all Jeffy can say.

That's as high as he can count.

And so we went with that scale to sort of honor him.

Like, what is an 18?

That's this.

That's like you would eat it all the time.

You would buy it.

You would, it's one of the best things you've ever had.

I don't know.

Have we ever had an 18?

No.

I know I've had a 17,

which for me was red velvet chips ahoy yeah i mean

i would give this like a 15.

i'd give this a 15 the peanuts in it bring it down about three three notches to me but it's really good

yeah it's it's bluebell so it gets it it's automatically at a 14.

because just vanilla bluebell vanilla is the best ice cream made it's very creamy i mean i it's amazingly tasty vanilla i don't know what they do to it but it's excellent And I don't want to know.

I wouldn't say it might be illegal, but I don't care.

Yeah.

It's a good flavor.

I wouldn't say it's incredibly innovative.

You know,

it's like a fudge swirl ice cream with some cone pieces in there.

It's good.

It's really good ice cream.

I'll give it a 13 on scale.

I will say, though, that Blue Belt is a company so popular that a year or so ago, they had a little scare with listeria.

I think a couple of people died from it.

It happened in their plant, so they had to shut down completely.

I mean, they shut down and cleaned out their plants and

didn't operate and they didn't produce any ice cream for what?

In the grocery store.

Six months.

And they have like a 60 share in Dallas, Texas.

So about 60% of all the ice cream purchased here is bluebell.

So it takes up a lot of shelf space.

And that was empty for a while.

And no one even hesitated when they came back.

They were like, I don't care if it's loaded with listeria.

It could be loaded with lice.

I don't care.

I'm going and buying and eating.

It's good.

I had bluebell ice cream in my freezer when they had those problems.

And I finished the container.

Me too.

Even knowing.

Tanya was like, Tanya said to me, we should throw that in

listeria.

And I was like, whatever.

I don't care if I get sick.

Sometimes things are just worse.

Where's the new Ebola flavored?

I'm okay.

I don't think that's cherry flavoring in that.

No.

It's actual Ebola blood.

It was shipped to Liberia for three months before shift here.

Are you sure you want to eat it?

Yes.

I'm really fine with it.

So, Glenn, you're a one to 18 scale?

I give it a 15.

15.

Jeffy?

Yeah, somewhere in there is good.

No, that's not the way this is.

I'm a new player.

That's not the way it works.

You have to pick a number.

I did.

It was somewhere in there.

Oh, my gosh.

What do you think?

I went 13.

13.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I was a 14.

It's quite good.

I mean, I don't know if it's.

Are you an ice cream lover?

I do like ice cream quite a bit.

I usually don't eat much.

So wait, I stopped eating because it's like.

I usually don't eat much.

Do you guys just eat the whole pint?

Is that usually the way it goes?

I don't eat it more than once a day.

I pretty much limit myself to that.

Once or twice.

I don't like more than like one of these.

There's, you know, maybe a couple, two or three times a day.

That's about it.

You know, the sad thing about the pint is women look at that differently than men.

They sure do.

Women look at that like that's going to be in the refrigerator or the freezer for maybe a couple of weeks well can i tell that is no i take it like it's a like toothpaste and i squeeze it out of the bottom into a bowl servings per container four four there are not

servings in that just us what no

four that's a please that's a one sitting

by yourself yes one sitting

pat and i i mean nobody will do nobody will this is not even a sitting my friend you know what i i should make I should make a bowl of ice cream for you guys.

Just a vanilla with Hershey's chocolate.

Get some bluebell vanilla ice cream, Hershey's chocolate, because there is a science to loading the bowl.

I will say, I have had a break.

Right, Pat?

You lived at my house for a while.

Absolutely.

I've had ice cream at Glenn's house before.

I've never seen a bowl of ice cream like the one I received at Glenn's house.

It had to come from at least two half gallons.

We don't ask those questions.

We don't ask those questions.

You don't want to know, though.

My dad used to buy

the big five-gallon drums.

Yes, I was.

We used to buy those big five-gallon drums, and they were gone everywhere.

I mean, I remember seeing them.

I don't ever remember opening them and eating.

No, no, neither do I.

My father used to make the regular pudding that you'd make on the stove with melanin and bathing stuff.

And when it's hot before it gels, you'd pour that over ice cream.

Yeah, so good.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow, that sounds so outstanding.

So good.

Damn.

My mother used to make cheater's

lemon meringue pie for me.

She would make the lemon pudding and she would take graham crackers and grind them all up and then she would just make some meringue and then just whip it all together.

Yes.

Oh, that was fun.

Wow, that sounds really good.

That's really good.

This is pretty

good segment of the show.

Maybe not for the listeners, but I am enjoying this segment.

Well, I will say today is obviously National Pie Day.

3.14.

And,

okay, it's National Pie Day.

We did ice cream.

That made no sense.

However, we should be doing pie.

So

after the commercial, we'll have pie.

Had I known, I would have asked Hannah.

She made pie this weekend for some unknown reason.

What?

Oh, my gosh.

She made strawberry rhubarb pie from scratch, her own recipe.

It's the best strawberry rhubarb pie I've ever had.

How is it worth

doing that?

How is it?

Yeah, where is it?

Why don't we have it here?

I mean, we don't believe this.

Because this is the first thing.

First of all, this is your segment.

And

it's sampling things that people can go out and buy.

Right.

That's a whole point.

Well, it could, I mean, well, we could post the recipe to Hannah's.

She may be one of those people.

I don't know.

This is her recipe.

She may be one of those people.

I'm not giving away that recipe.

Well, we'll either post the recipe or we'll post a hit piece on your daughter until she delivers the recipe.

Right?

We've got the power of the media behind it.

All right, they never thought of it that way.

Right.

Trasher, trasher parenting, trash.

I mean, we'll just go.

Hit piece after hit piece after hit piece.

So I just go home to my daughter today and say, make a pie, make it good, give me the recipe, or I take you down.

Yeah, we'll destroy you.

I mean, what else are we going to do with this company?

Let's destroy your daughter.

Or

we'll get pie.

I mean, that's the better one.

We want that.

Just like, you know, we don't want to destroy you, honey.

Islamic extremists, they want to convert you.

They don't want to kill you.

They want to convert you, or you can pay the tax.

But they will kill you if they have to.

That's all we're saying.

We're like Islamic extremists.

Totally, totally.

Pie of pie.

When it comes to pie, we're extremists.

Is that any surprise to anyone in America?

No.

So what would we...

If they say Allah Akbar, praise Allah, we would be...

La la la la la pie?

Yes.

Or Allah mode.

Allah.

Maybe that's not the bad.

Yeah, that could be.

And we have the ice cream.

Although, when I say we, we have the ice cream.

Jeffy's almost done with his entire pint.

Let me see that.

Oh, my gosh.

He's like three bites away from the entire pint.

Seriously, if we walked out of this room right now, if we went to commercial, we'd come back and there would be nothing in any of these.

No, no, if we walked out, seriously, if we walked out and we weren't coming back for an hour and we weren't coming back into this room,

all of our ice creams would be finished.

And this guy...

No, no, no, I would put them back in the freezer, Glenn.

Right.

Yeah, they'd be put away someplace.

Seriously, you're going to eat that entire pint.

That entire pint is almost like a break.

Come on.

Hang on just a second.

Okay, it's sick because

it's sick.

it's sick because it's in front of people.

But are you telling me

your wife is gone or whatever?

Please.

And a pint is in.

She's not going to look.

You know, she's not going to look in the freezer for two days.

Because I can get away and say, honey, I ate that in three.

I ate that Friday, Saturday, and I had some more on Sunday.

That's why you buy some.

You were gone.

What she doesn't know is I did eat it all in one sitting.

You went to buy more.

Right.

Go buy more.

Right.

Well, we don't have to throw that part in.

I've done that.

Have you ever

just to cover it up?

Just to cover it up.

Just to cover.

Yeah, I put away a whole pint of Hag and Daws don't say De Leche the other day.

Oh, you guys.

We have to get another one so she wouldn't know.

I'm talking about guilty.

We're all guilty of that, right?

Right?

Wow, that is

usually guilty of that.

No, they don't.

Why is it that we're always the ones in trouble?

I don't know.

We're always in trouble.

We hope that the impression is that our appearance is a the result of a glandular situation.

We hope they just

can't tell we've snuck the extra eight gallons of ice cream.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Let me go to Sean in Iowa.

Hello, Sean.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Thank you very much.

Longtime listener.

Thank you.

Enjoy your show, and I hope your producer gets feeling better soon.

Thank you.

I heard about the texting accident.

Yeah, bad texting accident that I'm not even aware of.

Yeah, I think he's talking about Dom.

Oh, Dom.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

And now I'm wanting ice cream and pie.

It works.

It works.

You're in Iowa.

Do you know about

West Des Moines Valley High School?

I do.

I actually graduated in the 90s from West Des Moines Valley.

And

West Des Moines Valley and East High School, North High School, and South High School have always had a huge division because they consider West Des Moines to be the West Des Moines and Urban Dale schools to be the rich kids' schools.

Right.

Even though my family was poor, they still considered it to be a rich school, rich family.

Which, I mean, a lot of the kids driving around in fancy cars and trucks that mommy and daddy bought for them kind of helps with that little routine thing.

Were they wearing red, white, and blue back then?

They were always patriotic.

Valley High Schools was I've actually been to a few different relatives and stuff in

Des Moines.

And my family has been to different schools as far as brothers and sisters and whatnot.

And there's always been a division right there between the races.

I mean, it is just

and it goes way back to the 60s.

They just don't let it go.

And that's a lot of the problem anymore.

I mean, Valley High School is a very diverse school.

We had Arabic kids in the school.

We had,

you know, from Pakistan, Iran.

We had a lot we had a large population of Asian kids in the school, as well as white kids, black kids.

And we had race fights in the s in our at our school.

We had race fights with other schools.

I mean, it I mean, I d I just did not grow up around this.

It is so bizarre.

I mean, it it's it's I mean, it just seems so 1950s and 60s to me.

It's just so bizarre.

Yeah, I mean, they even had little clicks and stuff where they had the bloods, the bloods and the crypts were there in all those schools.

In Iowa?

Yeah, and then you had groups that called themselves the Cowboys in

at Valley High School and at South Lincoln High School.

You had, I mean, it's just.

It's crazy.

If you're driving around in a pickup truck and a cowboy hat, you're automatically racist.

And if you drive in a fancy car, then you're a preppy rich kid.

Right.

I mean, the division is just there.

I mean, the Valley High School had to set up diversity classes and meetings for kids to go to because if they got in trouble with another kid of another race, then they automatically had to go to it.

Sean, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the cheery note.

It didn't slow Jeffy down.

He is now on his fully second pilot.

Thanks for calling, Sean.

He took during the break, he took all of ours.

We're not gonna eat him.

I don't want him to melt all over the studio.

You have him sitting on your computer.

It's a company computer, and it's your melting, Jeffy.

This is sad.

This is a cry for help.

Right here,

this is a cry for help.

Help me.
