3/7/17 - Full Show

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

I am so glad that you have tuned in today.

We've got a lot on our plate.

I'm going to start with my surrender speech because

every day it's a different person that we've got to stand with.

It's a flip-flop of an issue.

Today,

if you want to condemn those who are not in the Trump camp today,

as I think they were yesterday, but today,

you would have to condemn

Trey Gowdy.

But who you would find on your side today is Maxine Waters.

I surrender.

We begin there right now.

I will make a stand.

I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one,

I will be my drum,

I have made my choice, we will overcome,

cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Maybe I'm reading this wrong,

but I believe that Maxine Waters

was verifying that Obama did

tap Trump's phones.

It sure sounds that way.

I don't know anymore.

Listen.

Trail.

And

I think there is a trail.

And I think that the Obama administration has done everything that it can possibly do.

And that's probably been verified somewhat by the New York Times to make sure that enough people have seen some of the meetings and some of the connections so that they have something to go on when the investigations are really underway.

So

she says he's done everything he can, apparently including surveying the Trump Tower.

Right.

So he couldn't.

So he could expose this Russian thing.

So

if you want to believe Donald Trump, on your side today is Maxine Waters.

Now, look, I'm a guy who stayed with very strange bedfellows, you know, at four.

Oh, Maxine Waters is a definite strange bedfellow.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just recognize who you're sleeping with today, Maxine Waters, and who is outside that you and Maxine are now saying, tell that traitor to shut up, is Trey Gowdy.

Listen to this.

Have you seen evidence that the Obama team did surveillance at Trump Tower?

No, sir.

Have you seen evidence that the Trump team colluded with the Russians during the election last year?

No, sir.

And reports to the contrary have been described as demonstrably false to me by people who would know.

Trey Gowdy's a traitor.

Trey Gowdy's a turncoat.

Trey Gowdy's changed every point of view he ever had.

I surrender.

Wow.

I surrender.

Now, Trey Gowdy did say that he hasn't seen anything on the Russians, right?

So

there's no evidence of the Russians colluding.

He said, in fact,

he's seen.

A person he trusts has seen evidence to the opposite.

Opposite.

Which would be evidence to the opposite would be what?

That they're planning a war with Russia?

I don't know what that means.

I don't know.

I'm not sure that that's what either of them actually meant.

But hell, we're in the...

We're in the Twilight Zone.

Yeah, we're

in the fake news, so let's celebrate.

I got in this morning and I heard the Maxine Waters audio and I thought, okay, I can't do it.

I just, I don't want to do it anymore.

No, no.

I don't want to figure it out.

I don't care anymore.

I just, I just want to go.

That's what I'm talking about.

Can I tell you something?

I'm going to be real honest with you.

Pat and I were having a conversation yesterday, and Pat wondered about my spirituality, I think.

That's what you were questioning, really, Pat.

Yeah, no, that's what it was.

And I'm going to be real honest with you.

I am cheating on Tanya.

Oh.

And I am okay with it.

Really?

Yep.

I'm going to do it.

The world makes no sense.

I am going to continue to cheat on Tanya.

Did you want to clarify that before there's 5,000 news stories about it?

What do you mean?

I'm cheating on her.

Okay, good.

There we go.

All right.

It's out there.

I guess you can run with it, guys.

He's not

another woman in your life.

Oh, no, no, no, no, not another woman.

Netflix.

I'm watching shows that she thinks that we're watching together.

And you're watching ahead.

And I'm watching ahead.

And then I pretend

that I haven't seen the episode that

you're not watching together.

Now, again, do you want to clarify?

Because that's much worse than you being with another woman.

Right.

That is actually a bigger violation of your relationship.

More egregious.

It sure feels that way some days.

That's pretty much it.

It does.

Are you cheating on your wife, too?

I do, but

it's hard.

It's hard to fake after you've watched an episode because as soon as you look down at your phone to Twitter during the episode that you've already watched, but you're both watching watching it together.

You've already seen this.

I can't take it because I honestly, I've given up.

And she, she, we're in an open marriage.

She knows.

She knows.

Well, and you're not sure.

Yes.

She knows you're watching ahead, though.

She knows I'm watching ahead.

Here's why.

We were watching, I don't remember what it was, Gotham.

And

she said, and we're like on episode three of season one.

All right.

And

she's like, I really want to watch that.

I said, okay, okay.

So

we start watching it.

And all the way through, I'm doing this.

Honey, are you awake?

Honey, are you awake?

Yes.

Yes.

I'm awake.

Okay.

All right.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

I'm awake.

I'm watching.

You want to quiz me on what just happened?

No, no, no.

I just want to make sure you're awake.

Then, you know, five minutes later, body's twitching.

She's, She's,

honey, are you awake?

Yes.

I'm awake.

Okay.

I'm awake.

I'm watching it.

Just leave me alone.

Okay.

All right.

So, so you're just watching.

All right.

So here's what happened.

So we, I finished the episode because every time I said something, she was asleep.

Then the next day, after she wasn't tired and she had food in her belly because she is hangry like like crazy.

She said,

Okay,

I fell asleep last night.

I'm like, No.

Yeah, I fell asleep last night.

So, can we try to watch it again tonight?

We'll watch it again tonight.

Okay.

So,

she's zipping through.

I say, I've seen that.

I've seen that.

I've seen that.

I've seen that.

20 minutes into it.

Okay, I haven't seen any of that.

So go back by five minutes.

All right.

So we start walking, watching.

Within 10 minutes, honey, are you awake?

yes I'm awake three

times I watched the same damn episode not counting the time I cheated on her so it was my fourth time watching the episode I just I'm not watching it with you anymore I'm not watching anything with you anymore that's really the answer right I mean TV is you don't need to watch you don't need another person to watch television with you can do that on your own but I want to watch it with Tanya yeah some of the episodes your spouse feels that they want to share it with you oh but I mean share the experience with you.

Right.

And like what?

Like

what show does she want to experience with you?

Oh, well, we watch specific network shows that we DVR together.

Now, so the Netflix shows, I can just binge.

I'm gone.

Have a nice day.

But then there are specific ones that we watch, you know, at our own time.

What is this network thing you're talking about?

You know,

those

channels television anymore.

Yeah,

Jeffy only watches television when it's on.

That's the only time he watches it.

You know what?

Netflix and

Amazon and even HBO have totally destroyed.

Yeah, Hulu, too.

I mean, they've started to create a bunch of their own content now.

I mean, it's so much different.

You can watch, you watch television now.

You watch

Netflix or Amazon.

You know which ones are on network television.

Because I don't watch network television at all.

So I don't know, you know I don't know what's on I don't know what's coming from a network and not and you can watch it and immediately like network They just look different.

They're just they're bad.

Yeah, they're bad on this cheating thing.

They just did a study about this and they found that on the Netflix cheating yeah on Netflix cheating there is an actual survey and it's people believe it's a real thing.

I mean they're serious about it.

Like this is almost worse than actually cheating with a a with a member of the opposite sex or same sex depending on your preference.

I so agree with Maxine Waters today.

They said 46%

of couples have cheated on each other.

46%

on Netflix.

On Netflix.

Oh my gosh.

Can I just

may I take a sidebar, Your Honor?

Sure.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Did you see the

Jim Barna, is it Jim Barna, James Barna?

Yeah, James Barna uh study that came out on uh biblical worldview no okay you don't remember who james barna is james barna is the um uh the big pollster that does all most of the religious studies cultural religious stuff yeah been on the show so he was a little confused by the last election Now, he is a guy who goes in and he all he studies is religious people.

And

the last survey he took, I think it was like 55% of the American people said they have a biblical worldview, which means they view every, you want to understand how they see the world.

You understand the Bible, and that's the lens that they see everything through.

Is this in the U.S.?

Only 55%.

Only 55%.

55%.

Okay.

That was the last one.

He was confused by the last election.

And he's like, where's the biblical worldview for 55%?

And so he goes back and he does another study.

This study just came out.

49%

now say they have a biblical worldview.

Yeah, that went down 6% how fast.

Oh, but wait, but wait, there's more.

But wait, there's more.

But he did something that he's never done before.

He said,

let me ask you biblical questions.

Do you believe that Noah, do you believe Moses?

Do you believe Jesus?

Do you believe all these stories?

Okay.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

49% now say, yes, I believe those stories are true.

All right.

Only 49%.

However, he added the traits that go with it.

So, if you say you agreed with

the Moses story is true, he threw in

cultural questions about stealing, about lying, about

smart.

That's really right.

That's good.

So, do you live any of those things?

So, out of the 49%,

only 15%

actually have a biblical worldview 15 here in the United States

follow through 15% with their standards follow through with their standards in America and

here's the other fun fact

wow millennials four percent oh I I believe that four percent

hmm that's

not good yeah yeah not good yeah yeah I mean yeah and you know youth would, would I not surprise that the number is worse, but the number's bad all the way around.

I mean, we talked about this, too.

You know, in 2011, 30% of evangelicals felt elected officials who committed immoral acts could fulfill public duties.

Only 30% believed if you committed immoral acts,

you should even be in office.

But I wonder if that was like the Barna thing that, you know,

now put them, you know, put Bill Clinton back in the 90s, but make him a Republican.

I wonder if they would have felt the same way.

Well, if you answer that, because because in 2011, 30% of evangelicals felt elected duties, elected officials who committed immoral acts could fulfill public duties.

In 2016, it was 72%.

Oh, my gosh.

From 30 to 72.

And that has to do with those opinions are just moved on whatever the events of the day are, right?

I mean, because it was.

Is that brimstone I'm hearing land on the roof?

It did start to rain, and it is heavy.

I don't know exactly what brimstone is, but

you're going to find out soon enough, either, but I'm hearing a new roof.

That's amazing, isn't it?

Wow.

That's amazing.

It shows how out of step, quite honestly,

we are.

We try to live our life that way.

We don't always succeed, but we try to live our life that way.

And I think a good portion of, not Jeffy,

obviously.

I think a good portion of this audience tries to live their life that way.

And like, obviously you could look at that and say, wow, 72% is really high to believe that.

But I'm more fascinated by the change, right?

It's because it's not changes.

That's only six years.

So I have to tell you, let me take a quick break.

I have to tell you about this conversation that I had with Rafi this weekend, which was horrifying to me.

Your son?

Horrifying.

Yeah.

No, I mean, it wasn't.

No,

I bet all of our children, if they're that age,

will kind of have, you'll have the same kind of conversation.

And here's the thing.

I don't know

how to correct it.

And it's a conversation all of us should be having with our kids right now.

But the world is changing so fast under our feet.

I don't even know how to, I don't know how to even talk about this with him.

I'll tell you in a second.

Glenn Beck.

Mercury.

I'm like that.

I'm Michael.

The Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

So I had a conversation with Rafe.

Saturday morning, we get up, and

we're on our way to breakfast, and I had seen a story that morning

called,

I can't remember now, Life or something.

I can't remember what it was.

But it's a short film that's going to be made

into a motion picture.

And it's a really amazing little short film.

And it's about a robot,

AI.

The year is 2017.

And AI comes online.

And we started.

We heard that the future year is now our year.

We are now here.

And

AI comes online and it becomes smarter than humans.

Okay.

So now this is

this is iRobot in a way,

except the opposite.

The robots are good.

There's nobody evil, seemingly, nobody evil controlling them.

What's happened is humans, and if this doesn't sound like it the way it will play out, humans are afraid of the robots because they're so smart and they're afraid that they're going to get an upper hand and then they'll treat

people like pets.

And so

there are those who want all the robots shut down.

Now, I had a conversation with a guy from Silicon Valley three, four weeks ago, and I think I told you this.

And he said

his friends who are working in AI are freaked out.

that

the center of the country is going to come with pitchforks and torches to Silicon Valley to kill them all when they figure out what's going on.

And when I say figure out, it's not figure out like there's some evil plot.

It's when the politicians

have to blame it on somebody because they're saying these jobs are coming back when indeed those jobs aren't coming back.

and millions more are about to be lost, okay?

Only because of technology change.

It's like the cotton gin.

So you can stand against the cotton gin to save all those jobs, or you can say, there's going to be massive displacement, and we're going to have to come up with new jobs, going to have to come up with new things.

But AI and robots are about to change everything in the next 10 years.

And they are truly frightened.

That the politicians, this is my part of it.

When I explained it to him, he was like, oh my gosh, yes.

They're afraid of the center of the country saying these robots are taking our jobs and

they're going to come and storm the castle and kill all the tech people.

And I added that it will be the politicians that will lead them there because they will need some cover for themselves.

because they've been telling everybody these jobs are coming back.

So they'll need to say, well, you know who the problem is is Silicon Valley.

They're replacing all of these with robots.

And the sheep will run to kill the future.

Okay.

So this movie kind of touches on that.

And a robot kills somebody in self-defense.

And they use that

to

go get and try to kill all the robots.

And they're going to shut them all down and kill them all.

But the robots are like, no, I'm a sentient.

I'm a being.

Yes, I don't have a soul, but I'm a sentient being.

Now I'll tell you what my son's conversation, what we had Saturday morning, and you answer the question when we come to the...

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We're getting Philip Klein on the phone.

He's a managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

He has gone, they released the Obamacare bill last night to the public so you could read it.

We're going to get to him in just a second.

He has read the entire bill.

Stu stayed up late with him watching him online reading the bill.

And it's agonizing.

It's absolutely agonizing.

We'll get to it here in just a second.

It must have been thrilling, though, to watch somebody read.

Well, to be clear, I would, Stu.

He was tweeting the details.

I was following.

I wasn't like hanging out with him in the room as he was reading it.

It was thrilling.

So here's the,

let me finish the story with Rafi this weekend.

So I show Rafi this trailer of this movie, and he's like, that's great.

And I said, it's going going to happen in your lifetime, dude.

And he said, What do you mean?

And I said, There's going to come a time where a computer will say, Don't turn me off.

I'm lonely.

And by 2050, there will be more attorneys for computers than there are currently in all fields.

And that's like a Ray Kurzweil connection.

That's a Ray Kurzweil connection that they're going to claim sentience

some point

between 2030 and 2050.

He says closer to 2050.

But I think that number in a lot of people's minds in Silicon Valley is creeping forward closer to us.

So they will claim to be human, and you will not be able to tell the difference between a human talking to a human and talking to a machine.

So I said to Rafi, is that life?

And he said, no.

And I said, how do you know?

And he said, well,

because they don't have a soul.

And I said, okay, how do you know?

Well, they're not born.

By the way, this is revenge, Rafe, for when you used to say why every time you're three years old.

Right.

So we went down this road, and I said, we got to the point where he said, well,

we'll just have to find a way to live together, Dad.

And I said, how's that working out for us so far?

And he said, okay,

well, not so

And I said, right.

And if the robots

are smarter than you, two things.

How long before they start looking at you as a pet or a problem?

You know, if we just got rid of all the people, or if we just kept the people over here, if we just stopped them from doing these things, everything would run much smoother.

Or how long before we start feeling they're thinking that, even if they're not, and we have to stop them?

He had no answer for it, and neither do I.

Those are the conversations that we need to start having because those conversations our children will have to have, and they'll have to come to a decision.

Either that or a robot will fill it in.

All right, let's go to Philip Klein.

He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

Philip, thank you for your your hard work on this.

It's my understanding that this is worse than we thought it would be.

Yes, it is.

And I think if we take a step back from the details, which we can certainly get into as much as you think your listeners want to hear, but basically the bottom line is that this bill

says

and declares that liberalism has won.

And the reason, the big question during this repeal and replace process

was, at the end of the day, when the dust clears, would we end up with a system that's something resembling a free market system relative to the system that existed before Obamacare?

And if we do not, then it means that liberals, through Obamacare, moved the ball forward and put us irreversibly on the course to a European-style single-payer system.

And this bill clearly is not a free market plan.

You could argue, and Republicans certainly will, that relative to Obamacare, it taxes less, spends less, and regulates less.

However,

relative to any conception of what a free market for health care is, this would not be it.

It still essentially

has the federal government try to to use a mixture of regulations and mandates,

social engineering, and massive government subsidies to try to expand the number of people covered and dictate the type of coverage that people have.

Okay, so a couple of things.

The Cadillac tax, is that still there?

Basically, they delayed the implementation of the Cadillac tax.

But it's still there.

It's still there, but they got rid of another plan to cap the exclusion.

I mean, because basically, keep in mind, too, that

the

earlier versions of Republican and Conservative replacement plans going back a decade

did want to move away from the employer-based insurance model because

if individuals have control over their own health care dollars, there are more choices, and they can take insurance with them from job to job.

This is the idea of portability is something that we used to often hear about when Republicans talked about health care.

But in this case, they were afraid of disrupting the employer-based market, so they backed off from a measure that really would have tried to cap

the amount and the generosity of the employer insurance deduction.

But they stuck with Obamacare's Cadillac tax.

They just sort of delayed it further.

And a lot of this has to do with budget gimmickry

to work the congressional budget off the score.

Aaron Powell, so in other words, if we say we have a Cadillac tax,

it looks like it can pay for itself, or it gets a little closer to paying for itself, even though we're never, no intention of ever putting it in, which really just is something that every conservative should hate because this is going to be a boondoggle.

Yes.

Well, it's the same thing that Republicans criticized Obamacare for.

Remember how Obamacare, what it did is it started taxing immediately, and then it delayed the heavy spending until

the second half of its implementation.

So they were able to say it cost around $900 billion in the first decade, when in reality it costs closer to $2 trillion.

And it looks like Republicans are doing a lot of various things such as as that.

For instance, there's a lot of upfront spending that they're giving tens of billions of dollars to states to try to

fund various health care initiatives.

And the actual date for repeal of the Medicaid expansion and the Obamacare subsidies doesn't come into place until twenty twenty.

Now, I don't know about you if you're confident that going into a presidential election year, Republicans are going to allow repeal to kick in, which they're afraid to enact now.

But I'm kind of skeptical that it'll ever happen if they punt to 2020.

Think about this.

Because, I mean, I actually thought there was a chance Trump might come out and oppose it based on this, because they are going to put this into effect so that all of the free money goes away January 1st, 2020.

in the midst of a presidential election a few weeks before Iowa on the Democratic side.

So that just seems completely ridiculous.

There's no way these guys with all the power don't have the spine to do it now.

They're not going to do it in 2020.

They're going to figure out a way to extend it longer.

They're going to show that they think they'll still be in control.

I don't think they will.

They think they'll still be in control.

And then they can look like the sugar daddy.

Yeah, and the amazing thing, too, is that it would have, there was a much simpler solution, which is that they could have just frozen new enrollment enrollment in the

Obamacare's Medicaid expansion or

the exchanges.

So if they were worried about transitioning people and disrupting people who already have Obamacare benefits, one thing they could have done is saying if as the enactment of this law you're receiving Medicaid through Obamacare's expansion, you could continue to receive those benefits.

However, we are not going to allow new enrollees.

And what we've seen from other,

there was an example in Arizona, for instance, in 2000 where they got ahead of their skis in expanding Medicaid and they decided they had to scale it back.

So they froze new enrollment, and within a few years, two-thirds of people have left the expanded Medicaid.

That's because

people find jobs.

They move in and out of the health insurance market.

Now everyone stays static the whole time.

So if they would have been able to just even freeze it, then you would have seen dramatic wind down in the number of people that are attached dependent on Obamacare.

Philip, when you say

that liberalism has already won,

I really don't like the word liberalism because I feel like I'm a classic liberal, and I know that has been changed all the way from FDR.

But this is really progressivism has won.

The progressives in the Republican Party are just

as excited as big government fill-in-the-blank as any progressive on the left.

They just want to be in charge of it.

Yeah.

I mean, I guess the liberal progressive thing could be argued both ways because there's also an argument that liberalism became a dirty word.

So now they just want to use the word progressive because it hasn't been sort of,

it hasn't been as tainted in the public mind yet right well that's because

that's because FDR had to stop using the word progressive because they had made progressive a dirty word so he made them liberals

yeah I mean it's the same thing is there anything it that I've heard Trump talk about buying

insurance across state lines is there anything like that in it

I don't see that but I don't see that from the initial bill that might have been, again,

there doesn't mean that it won't end up somewhere.

I think the buying across state lines, though, is kind of a limited type of thing because

even in Trump's campaign, if you looked at the details, it said as long as you meet your state's requirements, which the whole argument for allowing interstate purchase of insurance was that there were a lot of states before Obamacare that were passing all sorts of mandates to drive up premiums.

So you had situations in which

premiums in New Jersey or New York were double what they were in neighboring Pennsylvania just based on all of the rags that they were putting on it.

And so

the whole interstate purchase of insurance was to try to get around that.

But if you're saying policies have to meet the standards within the state, then it kind of negates that.

And I also think there's a federalism argument in favor of not doing that and letting states formulate

their own insurance schemes.

If Massachusetts wants to have a health care program that more resembles Obamacare

and they're willing to pay for it, then

should they be allowed?

And isn't it up to their citizens if they're frustrated that premiums are half the price in New Hampshire?

Philip, we kind of did this in reverse, but can you do a quick outline of what in Obamacare is staying in this bill?

Because there's a substantial amount.

We have about a minute.

Okay.

Basically, a lot of the regulations and requirements on insurance.

So for instance, the insurance, the pre-existing conditioning requirement.

They get rid of the mandate, but they say that if you go without insurance for a year or for more than two months over the course of a year, you have to pay a 30% penalty on your premiums.

Well, the mandate is still there, just a different way.

Yeah.

So then there is also

they get rid of Obamacare's style of tax credits, but they have a new version of tax credits.

So it's another form of subsidization of health insurance.

And then the Medicaid expansion, they do

it seems as though there's still going to be higher funding relative to what would have been the place before Obamacare.

However, it does move toward more of a block grant type of system.

There's some expansion of health savings accounts.

But the overall scheme in terms of

the requirements on insurance coverage, there's a lot more of that.

It still limits the amount that people that insurers could charge

older people relative to younger people, although it would expand that to five times as much instead of three times as much.

So it basically,

it basically, in many ways, has less regulation, but still regulation.

Lower taxes, but still includes taxes.

We put some Bondo on this car and gave it a new paint job, and it's now Trump Care.

Philip, thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

Philip Klein, he is the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

If you want to read what a good solution would be like, it's a good place to start.

Well, it's going to remain.

It'll be down in the fiction section.

Now, this, record days for the stock market, right?

Not really.

Some economists believe the U.S.

stock market is now overvalued at levels that we haven't seen since 1929 or 1999.

What followed in those two time periods?

Stocks fell by 89% and in 99 they fell by 50%.

Some economists believe that a 50% collapse in the market is not far off.

Banks now are investing in the stock market.

They're getting the

free money from the treasury and they are investing in the stock market.

So they're buying stocks based on loans.

Sounds good, doesn't it?

Mercury

the Glenn Beck program

I'm just listening to a chicken play the Star Spangled Banner.

It's

America Beautiful.

Or America Beautiful.

It's a, I mean, it's better than talking about the health care bill.

Sure is.

Listen to a chicken play.

Checking that out with its beak.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

You'll be performing your surgery soon at a Trump care location near you.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

No, I know.

Jeffy just poked me and was like, You're on.

I know, Jeffy.

I know.

I just can't.

Just went over the health care bill from the Republicans.

Congratulations.

We have a health care bill.

We have

Obamacare

going to be renamed now Trump Care.

It is almost the same thing,

very few exceptions.

It is absolutely horrendous.

And congratulations.

We now own it.

We now own everything that's going to go wrong with healthcare.

We now own it.

Congratulations, Republicans.

Great job on that one.

It's the type of bill that if the Democrats had a majority in the Senate, like they say they had 51, 52 seats, and a gang of eight sort of bill emerged.

This is the type of bill I would expect it to be.

Yes.

If the Democrats are not.

If the Democrats had that majority of the bills.

There's no reason for Democrats to oppose this.

No, none.

What's the reason?

Why would you oppose this?

I talked to Samantha B last night, and I said, you know, the health care bill, right?

And she said, oh, she said, I don't know why I feel bad about it because I think it has everything in it that I'm going to like.

And I'm like, yep, you're right.

It's going to have everything in it the left likes.

And it does.

Yeah, and there are some improvements to it.

I mean, it's you know, I always, I said, no, it's got a new colour to paint on it.

I bored the hell out of my wife with a conversation about this this morning, in which I said, if Obamacares an F, this is like a D plus.

Yes.

Now, we should be shooting higher than that.

We have the House, the Senate, and the White House.

This is what you do when you have all three branches.

It's depressing.

Progressivism has won in America.

But I've got some good news.

A new coloring book is out, Tony the Tampon.

Oh, good.

Tony, Tony, to remind,

quote, to remind kids that men get periods too.

Oh, good golly.

That may actually be true because blood is shooting from my whatever right now.

We begin there, right now.

I will make a stand, I will raise my

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Uh-huh.

So we want to degender tampons now.

Because I always grew up, I wanted to wear tampons.

I felt left out.

Growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,

Cass Klemer hit puberty in a school that kept quiet about menstruation.

And by the way, I just noticed menstruation has the word men in the first

three letters.

Yes, yes.

In fact, the first four letters are men's, so it belongs to us.

All of us.

Because of her personal experience, she stopped to stop the silence and shine the light on the men who get periods too.

What?

You know, what?

My wife said to me the other day, we went to bed and she said, Why is there blood on your pillow?

And I said, I don't know.

It might have been from a nosebleed or something.

I may have menstruated.

I'm not sure.

To achieve that goal, she has created the character Tony

the Tampon with his googly eyes.

The adventures of Tony the Tampon

with Marina the Menstrual Cup.

I don't even want to know what that is.

Patrice the Pad and Sebastian the Sponge.

Nice.

Nice.

Sebastian the Sponge is a men.

And yes, men do get

periods.

That's why the name feminine products is the wrong term.

That has to go away.

I'd rather help just one gender queer or trans menstruat.

That's what I am.

I finally found my place.

I'm a transmenstrator.

Because I think I'm having my period all the time.

You are agitated.

It may be the seven bloated days before I have my period.

The bloating, yeah.

Yes.

It's a tough conversation to have with kids, especially when you consider that adults are often struggling with their own internalized period shame.

But hopefully, by opening up a fun and creative gateway to discussion, my period coloring book will help make conversation a little easier.

The Atlantic Cosmo has run articles now on chest feeding, the new inclusive name for breastfeeding, because

men, of course, can breastfeed as well.

Right?

We all for no.

Well, yes.

On all of this.

Yes.

Well, I like to strap feed bags to my breasts.

Yeah, and I believe if I just took, if I just took a pin, you know, sometimes you have like super glue and you have to stick a pin through it.

I think if you stuck a pin through my nipple, you might be able to suck chocolate pudding out of them.

I'm not sure.

It's not something I want to think about ever again.

Yeah, well, but I've already gone down that road, apparently.

Are you sure it's pudding?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's pudding.

It might be gravy.

I'm not sure.

I sweat gravy.

So what is the argument that men have periods?

I've never heard that.

I mean, I've heard a lot of things.

Yeah, no, no, never heard that argument before.

No.

No.

Can you explain it, Jeff?

You know all the weird, you know, sort of the different

cultural.

He doesn't explain this at all in here.

Do you have you ever heard that argument before?

That men have go through their menstruation.

Yeah.

I mean, that's.

Look, you're

making it like Jeffy.

He is trying to make it sound like he has a reason for being in this room.

That's what's happening.

Now, I may be saying that because I'm on my period, but

has your wife never said

never?

she?

She never has.

Now, others have said that as I cry a lot,

but my wife has never.

Well, as Jeffy was stalling with his fake information, I have some real hardcore facts on this issue.

Okay, good.

Okay.

These are all in quotes.

Did you get this from Tony the Tampa?

No, this is from almost as a reliable source, The Daily Beast.

Is your man irritable?

Does he growl at you if you dare to take a piece of the chocolate bar that he is eating or seethe a little too angrily at the loss of the tv remote well understand that maybe it's his time of the month a quarter of british men believe believe they have man periods according to a news survey reported by the telegraph poll of 2412 people gosh we get 600 people for a national presidential poll they get 2400 for a pick of do you have a period the guys

that was a sample size uh sample size uh observation by the way thank you

you know uh

uh it was made up of half male and half-female respondents.

Revealed 26% of men experienced conditions associated with the female menstrual cycle, including tiredness, cramps, and increased sensitivity.

Shut up.

Almost half the women surveyed, 43% said they helped their man through their man-period syndrome.

Shut up.

I don't want to hear from these men.

Shut up.

You really

are complaining to your wife that you have cramps and you're a little more sensitive in places or loss sensitivity.

Shut up.

Of the men suffering from man periods, 56% said they were irritable.

So,

women, man, can I just say something?

Women,

are these men not just co-opting

your

role, your whatever?

What do they call it with culture?

They say appropriating culture.

Yeah.

Aren't we appropriating your culture?

I was going to say gender, but I don't think that's okay to say anymore because

I don't think there are genders or there's

all genders or but that's what it is.

It's appropriating your gender.

We're just moving into your space.

We won't believe it is it is as obnoxious as what's her name that just changed her name again.

Dolan, what's her name?

Right where we're talking.

Yeah, Dolazal that just changed her name to.

Yeah, I don't remember what it was, but it was.

Yes, it was a

series of clips.

Yeah.

She just changed her name to that.

The woman woman who says she's black and she's clearly white.

Yeah.

What the what is wrong with it?

Let me go here.

Let me go here.

If you just want your head to completely explode, let's go to, is it Houston or is this?

Yeah, no, it's this is here in the Dallas area.

Good, Fort Worth.

DFW area.

Great.

Okay, so this is from Texas.

Local news.

Listen.

Valdez is upset over the way she says she was treated by a teacher's aide who chaperones Valdez and other Castleberry students on a bus.

Stop for a second.

So somebody needs chaperoning on a bus.

All right.

She is upset the way she has been treated.

What do you think this story is about?

If you say transgenderism, bing, bing, bing, you'd be correct.

Listen.

Tarrant County College for class.

In the women's bathroom, I do feel more comfortable.

I never get a second look.

But it was while walking out of the women's bathroom at TCC Wednesday that Valdez says says the aide made an insensitive comment.

Oh, no.

She said,

Ismail, don't start because I already have an issue with you using the women's restroom.

The point is, is that this is the women's restroom and you're not a girl.

Okay, stop for a second.

Stop for a second.

So here is a guy who has not had the surgery.

He's not transgendered.

Physiologically.

He is a man.

This is a man who identifies as a woman.

And he says, it's a news story.

This is a news story.

Headline should be: Feelings hurt.

Right.

Okay.

Keep in mind: no one was killed here or beaten.

Nothing happened here.

No.

What he said is he's coming out of the women's bathroom.

He's got all the junk downstairs.

And the teacher says, Don't even start with me.

I already have a problem with you using the women's bathroom.

A woman

telling

him

that

she has a problem with him in her bathroom and he says i feel really bad about this she made me feel i'm uncomfortable i feel very uncomfortable that was insensitive right so we we do stories of insensitivity remarks now really that is a that's a local news story that someone felt offended now let me reverse this let me reverse this

let me reverse this

Where is the news story

where you have a sensitive interview with the woman who says, and there's this guy.

Hey, I was uncomfortable with that.

There was this guy who was going into the bathroom.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Sometimes he's in there.

He says he identifies, but he still has the junk downstairs.

And I feel uncomfortable with that.

Where is the story on her?

What you have is two people

who are uncomfortable.

But for some reason, only one matters.

And one is

both uncomfortable.

Oh my gosh.

No, somebody in America, somebody's uncomfortable.

Well, and it's more than that, too.

Oh, my gosh.

Right?

Because it's not just that they're not showing both of them as uncomfortable.

They're showing one as uncomfortable and the other as the reason.

It's the villain.

The villain.

The villain.

Oh, I know.

But really, the story is two people uncomfortable.

Yes, that's the real story.

That's the real story.

That, like,

it became very personal.

Valdez says the aide told her she would be talking to the school principal about it.

Valdez says another student who heard the heated exchange recorded only the tail end of the conversation.

Valdez says she's actually

so heated.

Yeah.

It sounds like he was heated and she's like, fine, I'll talk to you about it.

Fine.

Which is why they added the...

It's only the end of it.

You didn't hear the part where she was bad.

That's correct.

That's why they added that always in the narration.

They only got the end of it.

Unbelievable.

That's absolutely unbelievable.

And like, what is the reason?

I know this is a weird thing.

You shouldn't have to examine these foundational points, but we may have to in this society.

What is the reason we have separate bathroom?

Right?

Like, the reason is, theoretically,

they are making the argument now that the junk is separate from gender.

Like, you can't tell the gender by looking at what private private parts the person has.

You can't do that because people could identify in other ways, right?

So there's two separate things here.

There's the private parts and there's the gender in their world, right?

Why do we have separate bathrooms?

It's because of the junk.

It's not because of whatever they're defining as gender today.

If gender is this fluid thing that it makes no difference as to where you identify, why do we have separate bathrooms at all?

There's no reason if you're to if if you're making the case that a woman should not be offended by this guy who comes in and goes to the bathroom in her bathroom, then why would you make that why would you have any separate bathrooms at all?

You should argue that any person should not be offended by anyone coming into the bathroom.

Can I just kind of hang on?

No, no, no.

I have to take a break.

And then

I have a question that I never thought I would ask ever, anyone, even let alone on the air.

But

I think I need to say why we have separate bathrooms and and maybe I'm the only one that feels this way.

Okay.

Now this

gold line yesterday we told you how the loss of privacy is one of the unintended consequences of the digital economy

digital economy comes through and you don't have any privacy.

Somebody is monitoring every transaction.

Everything you do goes through a third party.

Today, I want to talk to you about savings.

Digital economy.

Savers no longer have the individual freedom to store wealth outside of the system.

Eliminating cash makes negative interest rates feasible for policymakers.

So in other words,

if you can't take your money out of a bank because it's digital,

there's no physicality about it at all.

They can charge whatever they want for you to keep it in the bank.

It's no longer a service that you are granting, they are helping you with, they're providing for you.

Now they're necessary.

So now it's who's going to charge you the least to keep your money.

A cashless society means you're going to be on the hook for bank bail-in scenarios and you'll have limited abilities to react to extreme monetary events like inflation or deflation.

You can't take your money out of anything.

It's there.

And a cashless society is coming.

You know, I just saw Wolverine over the weekend and one of the things, there were two things in there that I thought, this is 2029.

Nobody's talked to a futurist for this movie.

A, he's driving a car.

That's not going to happen.

It'll be a self-driving car by 2029.

And the other, he was looking through, digging through his wallet for money.

2029, there's not going to be paper money.

It's digital.

Now, how do we solve privacy?

You

not being a slave to the financial institution.

I don't know.

But I would like you to read Goldline's updated free cashless society risk report.

Read their important risk information.

Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

But I want you to read their risk report.

Don't buy anything today.

Just read that report.

It's really vital that you do.

Glenn Bett Program.

888-727 Back.

Mercury.

The Glenn Vett Program for saying this the we're just talking about the period thing is absolutely ridiculous There is a study that you are not all people and I'm not even talking about manopause All people are different

the longest running study has come from I think you were they were 12 years old and now

77.

And they've been taking the same survey throughout their life and there is a dramatic change in you're not the same person that you were.

You keep certain traits until you're about 60, and then those traits dramatically change after 60, and they don't know why exactly.

But this manipulation, that's for men and women.

This period thing is ridiculous.

I mean, we've, we're continually, because we don't wholeheartedly buy into catastrophic, man-caused climate change.

So we're science deniers.

They're trying to say that men have periods and, but they're the scientific people.

They're trying to say that women are men and they're the scientific people.

They're trying to say that a white person is black and they're the scientific people.

It's really mind-boggling what's transpired in the last five years.

It's really,

I don't think

everything that you thought was solid would be liquid and everything was liquid.

It's almost like that.

It's almost like that.

Now, could I may I make this observation?

And I don't mean to be, I mean, I don't like bathroom talk, you know.

But here's one of the biggest reasons why you don't want to have the bathrooms mixed.

I don't,

I don't like it when I'm in the bathroom with a man who is, you know,

oh geez.

Yeah.

Who are the men who are I don't want to do that around a woman.

I do not want to do that around a woman.

And I don't want to hear a woman doing that.

I don't want them hearing talk.

Well, it's true, though.

It's true.

Right?

Nothing could be truer.

Right.

Nothing.

I mean, you're going into the office

and

a woman comes into your bathroom and you look down and you see the shoes and you're like

do you do you hold off until she walks out and hopes she's only got a tinkle quick because you've got an explosion ready to happen

seriously nicely put uh but yeah i think i mean we've talked about

you will yeah that's one reason why we have separate bathrooms it's a matter of class and i agree

but i mean that's not their argument their argument that's my argument it's your argument and my argument and our your argument is is helped helped along by my constitutional amendment that solves all these problems.

One man, one bathroom, no such thing as shared bathrooms in the United States via the constitutional amendment.

Yes.

One person, one man.

Everybody gets their own separate place.

All right, that makes me feel better.

The Glen Beck program.

Look at me.

The Glenn Beck Program.

I want to thank you for listening.

Today we're going to start

our serial.

You know, we all feel like these are crazy times, and they are crazy times, but it wasn't a crazy election, according to history.

This week, our serial's the craziest elections in United States history.

In recent years, America has had its share of memorable elections.

But what our country has gone through recently in 2016 is not completely unique.

The ink was barely dry on the Constitution Constitution before the nation was embroiled in one of the craziest elections of all time.

It was the presidential election of 1800.

The first two American presidential elections might have been the smoothest transitions of power in world history.

Nothing had been done like this before.

There was so much unanimity among Americans as to who should lead the country that George Washington was elected unanimously to office two times.

In 1796, Washington's vice president John Adams seemed the logical choice to succeed him.

And despite some challenge from others, Adams became the second man to serve as President of the United States.

But just when it appeared that electing founding fathers to the highest office in the land would be easy, as easy as powdering a wig.

Thomas Jefferson decided to oppose Adams and try to stop his re-election.

Jefferson Jefferson and Adams had in the past been very, very close friends, as well as president and vice president during the previous four years.

But as the dawn of the 19th century loomed, huge disagreements began between the two of them and it began to boil over.

One of the biggest areas of contention between the two friends was Adams' support for and signing of the Alien and Sedition Act.

It was an act that essentially allowed government to put anybody who spoke out against them in prison.

Oh, I'm glad that's gone.

The act was absolutely un-American and unconstitutional, and Jefferson was not about to let this stand.

Bernard Weisberger, he's the author of American of Fire, talked about Adams' support of this controversial act.

John Adams' defense of signing the sedition act, by the way, which he knew was

a pretty harsh measure.

Which put journalists in jail.

Which put journalists in jail.

For criticizing the president.

For criticizing the president.

John Adams

said there was a real threat of riot and revolution in the streets, that

of mob rule.

And you know, he was thinking, as they all were thinking, of what was going on in France at the time, where a revolution had taken place that established a constitutional monarchy and that had degenerated into

a bloody slaughterhouse

with people

killing each other and executing each other.

The political divide had begun.

And so, after Washington's warning to Americans about the baneful effects of the spirit of the party, kicked in to full gear.

The Jeffersonian Party is the first party to recognize that it has to

regard party behavior seriously and mobilize voters at the state level.

and to regard the election as a kind of contest in which what we would now regard as modern political organizing is necessary.

The Federalists don't understand that.

The Federalists think that they just have to present their candidates and the people will naturally gravitate towards them.

Federalists remain more deferential and more classical in their notions about what politics is supposed to be.

At Yale, which is hard to believe now, was founded by Puritans, and in the 1800s was still a religious college run by clergy, the president of the university warned during a sermon about the horrors of a potential Thomas Jefferson presidency.

The Bible would be cast into a bonfire, our wives and daughters dishonored, and our sons converted into the disciplines of Voltaire and the dragoons of Marat.

Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.

The air will be rent with the cries of distress.

The soil will be soaked with blood.

The nation black with crimes.

This was from the clergy.

In an age where negative ads are commonplace to us and every election is called the nastiest ever, the election of 1800 may have actually been the nastiest ever and the political ads were happening in the center of churches.

Reason TV did a series of mock campaign commercials in the style of today that accentuate the tone of the election of 1800.

Now these are real attacks in their actual words from Jefferson and Adams and their surrogates.

John Adams is a blind, bald, crippled, toothless man who wants to start a war with France.

While he's not busy importing mistresses from Europe, he's trying to marry one of his sons to a daughter of King George.

Haven't we had enough monarchy in America?

I'm Thomas Jefferson, and I approve this message because John Adams is a hideous, hermaphroditical character with neither the force and firmness of a man nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

If Thomas Jefferson wins, murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.

The air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes.

Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames, female chastity violated, children writhing on a pike?

I'm John Adams, and I prove this message because Jefferson is the son of a half-breed Indian squaw raised on hoe cakes, and Hamilton is a Creole bastard brat of a Scotch peddler.

It was so bad that Adams even tried to circulate the rumor that Jefferson had died.

In the end, John Adams, the sitting president, didn't even finish in the top two.

Jefferson and Aaron Byrd tied in electoral votes with 73 apiece.

So the decision, mandated mandated by the Constitution in the event of a tie, wound up in the House of Representatives.

So over the course of a week in February of 1801, the House voted 35 times,

still unable to break the tie.

Nine states were needed to win, but Jefferson and Burr kept winding up with eight.

Alexander Hamilton, who was a Federalist, disliked Jefferson, but hated Aaron Burr.

Sound familiar?

He worked hard behind the scenes to swing the vote Jefferson's way.

His message to his fellow Federalists was, Jefferson by far, not so dangerous a man as Aaron Burr.

He told them that he would much rather have somebody with wrong principles than someone devoid of any.

Well, it worked.

Enough congressmen were convinced of Burr's unsuitability for office that Thomas Jefferson was elected the third president of the United States on the 36th ballot.

Aaron Burr, the second place finisher, became Jefferson's vice president.

It was the very first transfer of power from one party to another, and while it certainly was contentious, it wasn't bloody.

That was historic in those days.

But it didn't last long.

Four years later, Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton dead in a duel in New Jersey over lingering political animosity.

John Adams refused to attend Thomas Jefferson's inauguration and the two men became really bitter enemies.

The healing in their relationship wouldn't begin until 1812 when they began writing letters to each other once again.

They reconciled and wrote to each other as friends until their deaths, famously on the same day, July 4th, 1826.

That was exactly 50 years to the day of the American independence.

Only one other time in American history has a presidential election been decided by the House of Representatives, and that second time happened in 1824.

There were four candidates vying for the job, but the top two candidates were John Adams' son, John Quincy Adams.

He was a war hero, and then Andrew Jackson, who had risen to fame during the War of 1812 when he was sent to New Orleans to head off the British invasion force there.

Jackson had gathered together a ragtag group of volunteers from Tennessee and Kentucky, along with some militiamen to fight off the invading British regulars, fresh from their victory in Europe over Napoleon.

Well, Jackson managed to put together 4,500 men to face 8,000 British troops trying to gain control of the Mississippi River via New Orleans.

Well, using some ingenuity and brilliant strategy, in a battle that was over in just 30 minutes, Jackson and his men killed 2,000 of the British while losing only 100 of the American troops.

So, when the votes were counted,

the Washington establishment was stunned to discover that Andrew Jackson had won the most popular and electoral votes.

But with four men dividing up the electoral vote, Jackson did not win a majority, and the election was thrown into the House of Representatives.

Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, had finished last and was out of the running, but he had enough support to play Kingmaker.

Clay believed believed with all of his heart that Andrew Jackson was unfit to be president.

So he threw his support to John Quincy Adams.

And with it, Adams was elected president.

Adams then immediately offered Clay the job of Secretary of State.

Many say that Adams offered Clay the position of Secretary of State before he won, and that there was a corrupt bargain struck between the two.

Clay's position in exchange for his electoral votes.

We'll never really know for certain.

The one thing we do know for sure is that Andrew Jackson, having won the vote but lost the election, was livid.

He campaigned over the next four years on the corrupt bargain theory and, of course, won the rematch with Adams in 1828.

And the Indians began to weep.

The all-important and wild election of 1860 in the next episode.

Tomorrow on the Glenbeck program, in chapter two of the craziest elections in history, you'll learn how Abraham Lincoln rose to victory against all odds.

Listen live or online at Glenbeck.com/slash serials.

You know, what's crazy is you watch, we were sitting here listening and watching this,

and

we saw almost the first

35 years of our country in the last year and a half.

All those crazy elections, almost everything in those three elections

happened.

Sure felt like it.

You know, didn't it?

I mean, the charges back and forth, you know, a toothless hermaphrodite that was raised by an Indian squaw and fully on hoe cakes.

I mean, we saw all that.

And then the brokered deal before, the only thing we didn't see is it thrown into the House of Representatives, but we thought it was going to be.

It was close.

I mean, it seemed like, I mean, again,

somebody.

So, once again, somebody who won the popular election didn't win the White House.

Right.

And we think that's so unique, and we're battling over it.

So earlier today in the show, Hour One, we talked to Philip Klein, who was up all last night.

He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

And he went through

the new Trump care bill.

And you got to call it Trump Care now, gang.

because that's what it is.

We

now own it as conservatives.

You now own Trump Care.

There's a lot of pushback from conservative organizations.

Heritage Foundation is already coming out and criticizing it.

A lot of

I heard Louis Gohmert attacking it.

Many of the, you know, I've already had a couple of emails from people in D.C.

that have said,

this is tremendously bad.

Now, I initially had a lot of, I had a story here, Ryan Kerr from Daily Wire, Five Serious Problems with a Republican Replacement.

And they said that Ryan Kerr was that name.

But I mean, Trump tweeted this morning that he thought it was a, I believe it was a great bill.

Do you have the quote in front of you?

No, guys, it doesn't matter who came up with it.

If this is Ryan or not, it belongs to Trump.

It belongs to Russia.

Although Trump opposed it, it wouldn't belong to Trump.

No, if he supports it, but he supports it.

He is supporting it.

That is at least.

And he said it was.

Of course he would.

Well, the scary thing, too, is that he said it was, this is our wonderful healthcare bill that's a great start to something about negotiation, which indicates that this is their starting point.

Like, this is like, this is, if this was where it ended, I'd be very disappointed.

If this is a starting point for negotiation,

gosh, where is this thing going to end up?

That's a disaster.

Yeah, he's tweeted again about don't worry getting rid of state lines, which will promote competition will be phase two and three of healthcare rollout.

Yeah, so they actually, that's not in the bill, which is

the main thing promised, or one of the main things.

I mean, you know, we're going to get that later.

Right.

Don't worry.

They're going to get that later.

Yeah.

Don't worry.

We're going to make them pay for it.

Don't worry.

That'll come later.

Don't worry.

Believe me.

No, well, it's not.

It's not happening.

And

this is

a death knell to the Republican Party.

Congratulations.

You own it.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

I want to introduce you to a journalist who has been a lifelong liberal.

In fact, just a few months ago, he voted for Hillary Clinton.

He has had a change of heart since the election.

He has written a New York Post article entitled, I am a Gay New Yorker and I'm Coming Out as a Conservative.

He says this is the hardest thing he has done, harder than coming out of the closet as a gay man to come out as a conservative.

We're going to talk to him right now.

I will make a stand,

I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

I will beat my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Chad with Moore,

a lifelong liberal and journalist who has now written this line in his op-ed.

When I was growing up in the Midwest, coming out

to my family at the age of 15 was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Today, it is just as nerve-wracking coming out to all of my, to come out

to all of New York as a conservative.

Chadwick, welcome to the program.

May I call you Chad or what do you prefer, Chadwick?

You can call me anything you'd like, Glenn.

Thank you for.

Well, what do you prefer?

I know.

What do you prefer, though?

Do you prefer Chadwick?

Yeah, Chadwick's fine.

Okay.

So, Chadwick,

is this harder than are the consequences greater than when you came out, or the same or less?

The consequences are definitely greater.

You know,

when I came out as a teenager, of course it was scary for all the reasons that everyone hears about.

You're worried about being bullied, worried about your family rejecting you.

But I had at that time sort of like, you know, I had a fake ID.

I was going out to gay bars.

I already had this sort of network of friends, gay friends that I'd made, or at least accepting friends.

who I could sort of secretly tell.

This, I didn't know, I didn't have any conservative friends.

I didn't know anyone.

And And I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is the epicenter of New York City of sort of the social justice identity politics brigade.

Holy cow.

And

yeah.

And

so

I was going in completely blind.

As we know, that coming out as a conservative,

you face employment discrimination, absolutely, especially in industries like media, which I'm in.

We see all this violence on the street.

We see people being assaulted and yelled at for no reason.

So it was

definitely more nerve-wracking.

So,

Chadwick,

I have a friend who

is on the other side of the aisle.

I have several of them.

And one of them was telling me just the other day that

they don't know how to even

speak sometimes to their own friends.

And they're rock-solid liberal.

They don't know how to speak to some of their own friends because things are so crazy.

And I think it's this way on the right, too, that if you're not lockstep against Donald Trump, if you're in a liberal circle,

you're an enemy.

Oh, 100% yes.

You know, I've had conservative leaning libertarian values for a long time, and they've been growing.

And even just a couple years ago,

you know, I could get into political discussions with people, and it'd be very clear that I have these views.

And they might not like it, and they might yell and storm out,

but you could still mostly have a debate.

And now that is not the case.

And

I've been noticing, especially the last year, if I would start to challenge my friend's political ideas and start to present the other side, you were the enemy.

And the next time that person saw you, they would not talk to you.

So it's definitely changed.

You know, I like to say that my politics have not changed.

It's the line that's moved beneath my feet.

It's moved me into the right.

So what is it?

I mean, was it Donald Trump that moved you there?

Was it, I mean, how do you define conservative?

Because I'm not sure how to define that anymore.

Great point.

I define, you know, lots of people can disagree with me on this.

I find conservative to be a very useful term, a very useful umbrella term for the sort of diverse political thought that's on the right.

So the evangelical Christians, the Tea Partiers, the establishment Republicans, and then people more like me who are the libertarian classical liberals.

So that's how I use the term conservative.

I find that useful.

Donald Trump was definitely a huge, you know, I feel like his rise and a lot of people who identify more libertarian on the right, their visibility, has really shifted the borders of conservatism and been more welcoming to people like myself who are disaffected liberals, who are against the leftists.

And Donald Trump has really sort of, you know, no longer is the face of conservatism, these kind of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan types, who I would have just as little in common with, I think, as I do Hillary Clinton, even though I held my nose in the Ticker box last November.

So, Chadwick, so

we're probably then in the same category of conservative.

I don't relate to the big government

people at all, and I want to leave people alone.

I didn't have a problem with gay marriage,

you know, long before Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

I just don't think the government has a place in anybody's marriage,

left, right, gay, straight, doesn't matter.

They just don't have a place there.

And

so you're more of a

libertarian, small government, leave people alone kind of constitutionalist.

Absolutely.

Yes.

A firm, staunch believer in First and Second Amendment, absolute absolute constitutionalist.

Did you have a problem with the Obama administration on the First Amendment?

You know, they did really shady things with the press.

You know, everyone likes to think that Trump is this authoritarian person, but Obama was going after journalists left and right.

You know, and

the Democrats are sort of...

His administration, you know, they didn't really get much done, but the sort of liberal base then under his administration seems to have been been galvanized in this radical, awful way.

And the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton and the DMC have never called them out or tried to reprimand them.

They just have let them run wild.

So, in that sense, I think Obama, yeah,

he never tried to stop this radical push to the left that his followers have undergone.

Talking to Chadwick Moore, he's a journalist out of New York.

He was known as a liberal.

He's now a conservative, a libertarian, small government conservative, constitutionalist.

I have said this to my inner circle, that I have met with a bunch of people that, in fact, have given lots of money to the Democratic Party who have now woken up for the very first time to the fact that, wait a minute,

My party is really pretty extreme.

They're embracing this authoritarian kind of

idea.

And they rejected that

serious Marxists and people who really didn't like the Constitution or didn't like the free market system, you know, had a real serious place at the table.

They knew they were in the party, but they didn't think they had a real serious place at the table.

And they've opened their eyes.

Now, many of them haven't been strong enough as you are now, but they have told me behind the scenes, I'm not with the Democrats Democrats either.

Do you think there is that you're alone, or do you think there's a lot of people like this that are feeling the way you did?

Glenn, I know for a fact there are a lot of people, and the evidence is in my inbox.

I've gotten thousands of messages from people since that post story ran.

And I would say legitimately 50% of those messages are from conservatives from all walks of life, evangelicals, celiarians.

The other half, I would say, are disaffected Democrats who have been saying to me, I feel the exact same way you do.

I'm scared to come out.

I don't agree with this.

I consider myself a moderate, but there's no place for me in the party anymore.

I'm scared if I speak up, I'll lose my job.

That's a big thing.

I'll lose clients.

You know, I'm an independent contractor.

And I don't know what to do.

And people have said, like, thank you for being a vessel for this voice of reason, especially coming from the left.

And what you said about,

it's like President Reagan said, if fascism comes to America, it'll be in the guise of liberalism.

It'll be private ownership with absolute government control.

How do we grow this?

Because, Chadwick, this is something that I have been

working towards for a while and felt really alone for a long time.

that there would be strange bedfellows, that we're not going to agree on everything.

And we're going to come from the left and the right.

And we're just going to stand for basic principles.

And people will say, what principles do we have in common?

We could start with just the Bill of Rights.

And if you could give me nine out of the 10 of the Bill of Rights, I think we have enough to build strong coalitions.

And I don't think it's that hard.

How do we empower the people on both sides that are afraid to come out?

Because I've seen it on both sides.

It's bad.

Yeah, and that is an excellent question and an excellent point.

I agree with you that the strongest weapon we have is the Bill of Rights.

It is the Constitution.

You know,

a few months ago, I was thinking, you know, this country is either on the verge of a bloody civil war or a really radical, wonderful political enlightenment, and it looks like staunch constitutionalism.

And I think that's what you see happening.

I think there are tons of people like me who,

you know,

the sort of liberal liberal I was was what this term that a lot of people are using now called the classical liberal, which is a constitutionalist.

It's someone who supports free people, free markets, free speech, free thought.

And I think that is, nobody disagrees with that.

So I think that you're right that that is the greatest weapon we have.

And

the sort of authoritarian element on the left, I still believe, is so small and so fringe, but they're so violent.

And their biggest weapon is

their

racist, homophobic, Nazi bigot.

That's all they can can say because they have no argument.

And nobody wants to be called those things.

Those are the worst things in the world to be called.

So if you challenge them, they throw those words at you and then you shut up.

And that's why the media doesn't challenge them because the media doesn't want to be boycotted.

They don't want to be this and that.

I think most people in the media are terrified of these people too.

But I think there's signs that that's no longer working.

People see that Donald Trump isn't a white supremacist.

So I think it's beginning to crack.

And I think that you're right that the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, is the greatest weapon to unite the most

patriotic and fair-minded people in this country.

Because our country, if you look at Europe, how authoritarian culture has become in Europe, we really are the last hope for this sort of great idea of free people and free markets and individual responsibility.

How do you argue with people who will say this to a

Republican?

They said it under George Bush, and they will say it again because of Donald Trump.

And they say it to people like you that were voted for Barack Obama assuming you did voting for Barack Obama supported or was relatively quiet during Back Obama.

What do you say to those people say

well, where were you

as a staunch constitutionalist when X, Y, or Z were happening?

And you can say that to both sides.

How do we tell people the past is the past and I'm sincere in standing with the Constitution?

That's another quick question.

Right.

So I was thinking about this just the other day.

You know, when Obama was president, it was very much like, I'm just going to close my eyes and let him take the wheel.

I think, you know, if I just speak of my own personal experience, people are allowed to make mistakes.

I didn't know any better.

And also at the time, I just felt I didn't have, it's strange because I've been on both sides now.

I didn't feel I had a choice, especially when the religious right was in control of the Republican Party.

And as a gay person, you know, and they're sort of very anti-gay, anti-gay, non-libertarian rules they're trying to enforce, you just feel like you didn't have a choice.

So you're like, well, these are my people.

I'm a Democrat.

I have to be a Democrat.

And this is what we were saying earlier about the sort of lines being changed and Donald Trump sort of opening up.

I mean, Donald Trump's the first president to take office being

for gay rights, Democrat or Republican.

And so

now that the culture has shifted so rapidly,

I think a lot of people don't feel like they have to fly blindly with their party affiliation because the other side is evil, you know, because they're just being told that.

So I think that most people in this country have been just falling into party lines.

But now there's such an anti-establishment vigor amongst the people of this country on the left, too.

That's why Bernie would have won the nominee.

He was a nationalist.

He was anti-establishment.

He would have been the nominee if the Democratic Party had not colluded against him and all these other things and their superdelegates and all this other stuff.

So most people, I think, are on our side.

And it's just the misbehavior of the establishment has finally reached a breaking point where people can actually come together.

Chadwick, I'd love to talk to you some more.

I think you're fascinating and extraordinarily brave, extraordinarily brave.

And congratulations on

sticking to your principles and come what may.

It's a rare thing.

The exact same to you, Glenn.

Great admirer of yours.

Thank you very much.

Appreciate Appreciate it.

We'll talk again.

Thank you.

It's interesting to hear that

happening.

I'm telling you,

if we walk together, if we don't open arms, those who feel like he does, left or right, if we don't close ranks and open arms, right now we have a chance to gather so many people, so many people.

I really like his answer to, well, wait a minute.

You were, what about when this side did this?

I did this.

I did this.

Well,

maybe I made a mistake.

I didn't have all the information and now I do.

Like

that sort of attitude is so missing from our society that you could admit that, you know what, maybe I had the wrong perspective back then and now I have the right one.

Yeah, like him a lot.

You're listening.

You're listening

to the Glenn Beck program.

The Glenn Beck Program.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

I don't know if anybody has noticed, but we're putting a lot of attention into Glennbeck.com, trying to make it a really great, useful site for you with the news of the day and analysis as well.

There's a great story at Glennbeck.com right now about Russia and why.

Why we'll never really be friends.

Yeah, and, you know, a lot of it is

really, first of all, Ivan Drago's in there, which is a

well, I mean,

we had to throw Ivan Drago in.

Because they will never forgive us for that.

When you're having issues like things that are never talked about, like the tolerance of domestic abuse in Russia, that is so different from the principles that we have here.

Like night and day.

Night and day.

And so it goes into all the details on that.

If you want to know, and I mean, look, we all know that Russia hasn't been our friend for a long time, but a lot of people are, I think, forgetting how bad this can be.

And, you know, we don't want war with them.

We don't want war.

And I absolutely back all efforts to make sure we're not nuclear, firing ICBMs at each other.

But, you know, there's not a cultural connection here.

There's a real separation.

And we have to remember that.

It's important to keep in mind.

It is the war against the land, the people of the land and the sea, as they call it.

That's what they call their war against us.

And read this.

It's a great article, and you'll have some laughs, too.

Only on Glenbeck.com.

Now, there's something else that we we have to post on Glennbeck.com.

Something that we noticed when

Arnold Schwarzenegger

left, when he said, As the La Vista baby,

laugh, you bet.

We all laugh.

When he left, it was reported.

When he left the Celebrity Apprentice, if you haven't heard.

It was reported that he said, As the La Vista baby, literally on almost every local newscast.

Listen.

Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has one thing to say to the apprentice television show and President Trump.

Asta La Vista, baby.

Yep, he's quitting.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying,

Dan.

Come on.

Hosta

La Vida.

Living La Vida Local.

Hasta La Vista, baby.

Yeah, he's saying that to NBC's celebrity apprentice.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying hasta la vista to NBC's celebrity apprentice.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying hasta la vista to NBC's celebrity apprentice.

Arnold says hasta la vista, baby, to the apprentice after only one season.

Let's talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger because he has said hasta la vista to the new celebrity apprentice here on NBC.

It's just unbelievable.

And all of them said it.

I love the small market ones who think it's hosta.

Yeah.

And they and they think it's funny.

Each one of them thought it was funny.

But he said, ha ha ha, hosta la vista.

Hosta La Vista, baby.

Oh, man, that was good stuff.

Back in a minute.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, I want to talk about the new movie Get Out,

Wolverine, or what's it called,

Logan.

I saw that this weekend.

I will tell you also that

we are it's absolutely un-American to not discuss what Ben Carson did yesterday before we

sign off.

So weird.

I mean, I think that's a political,

I think it's a citizen's responsibility to discuss what he said yesterday.

That's impressive.

And you wanted to bring up the ratings.

Well, we talked about it.

We just did the Asa La Vista thing with him leaving.

And I know Trump and

Schwarzenegger have gone back and forth.

And I'm no fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger by any means.

But the ratings argument is so weird with this because

really his ratings actually weren't all that terrible for this show.

They had, and when you think about it, going in,

why did NBC do this?

It's insane.

Because first of all, everybody who's a liberal who watched The Apprentice with with Trump now hates Trump, right?

Because he's now he's president of the United States as a Republican.

So they all hate him.

So none of them are going to tune in.

And then everyone who likes Trump, who might go back to The Apprentice, is siding with Trump in this weird Trump-Schwarzenegger battle about ratings.

So none of them want to go back and watch either.

So it doesn't matter.

And Arnold Schwarzenegger, why are you watching Arnold Schwarzenegger?

I mean, Donald Trump was a businessman.

Right.

And Schwarzenegger makes no sense.

Schwarzenegger's terrible.

What are you going to do?

Right.

It was a terrible idea on every level.

Right.

But listen to the ratings.

This is the Apprentice ratings on NBC.

First year, the one where Bill Rancic won, $20.7 million average.

This is 2003.

And keep in mind, that's when reality shows were huge.

Yeah.

I mean, that is a number.

These are down for everyone.

Now, he always says he's number one.

He's never been number one, but he was number seven that year.

That's a real number.

He was never number one?

No.

No.

Donald Trump was never number one?

No, I mean, like, maybe the finale hit number one.

That week.

I don't know.

But never for the season.

For the season.

Never.

Never.

Seven was the best.

Then we went from 21 million to 16 million in season two.

20 to 16.

And went from 7th to 11th place.

Then 16 million to 14 million from 11th to 15th place.

Next season was 14 million to 11 million from 15th to 38th place.

So now we've been cut almost in half.

Then we go 11 million to 9.7 million and we dropped from 38th to 51st place.

55%.

Wow.

What was that?

51st?

51st.

Wow.

Then we go 9.7 million to 7.5 million, and we drop from 51st to 75th place.

So, what year was that the last year that he was on?

That's the last year of the regular apprentice.

Then they said, you know what, we need celebrity.

So they bring in, they launch Celebrity Apprentice.

Celebrity Apprentice, the ratings go back up a little bit to 11 million, but still 48th place.

The best year.

of

celebrity apprentice.

So then it drops from 11 million to 9 million,

48th to 52nd, then 9 million to 7.4 million,

52nd to 59th.

Then they go back to regular apprentice, and regular apprentice that year,

and this is an important number to remember, drops from 7.5 million was the last apprentice, drops to 4.7 million and gets 113th place, 113th place for the season.

And he's calling it number one.

Right.

Now remember, 4.7 million.

Remember that number for a second.

It goes back to celebrity apprentice again.

They've now abandoned the regular apprentice because it's not working anymore.

And they put up,

I can't remember where I left.

I had 7.1 million for

73rd place.

Then Trace Atkins, 5.6 million, 84th place.

And then they have a little bounce up in season 14 for some reason.

It goes 7.6 million.

It's 67th place, though.

That's the bounce up.

Now,

Celebrity Apprentice with Arnold Schwarzinger finishes the entire season averaging 4.9 million.

So

bigger than the last year of The Apprentice.

And if you go back to Trace Atkins year, which is 2012, he put up 5.6 million for Celebrity Apprentice.

So 5.6 million versus what

four years later, what Schwarzenegger puts up is 4.9.

Now, just the degradation of Netflix and everything else, that is not a terrible falloff at all.

And it's higher than the last season of The Regular Apprentice.

Can I tell you a story?

We're doing these podcasts

and they're coming out soon.

I'm stockpiling some podcasts of some really fascinating people and wanted to do, and we're going to do them very differently and wanted to do kind of a pilot episode to see if it worked and brought in Pendillette.

And I've talked to him several times, but took a different approach with him and really wanted to find his pivot point and heard things from Pendalette that I've just, I've never heard before.

I mean, I couldn't believe it.

I understand Penn Jolette now, where I didn't.

I always was wondering, how did you get here?

How did this happen?

How do you find your moral compass?

All of this stuff.

I found it when I think he was about eight years old.

Something happened to him that was wildly humiliating that he did and his parents saw.

And he was

really humiliated.

couldn't had a hard time looking at his parents.

He was so humiliated.

And it changed him and set him on the course that he's on now.

But he came in and we were sitting down and,

and I don't even know if this was, I think this is part of the interview.

He was just talking about,

you know,

craziness of Trump and stuff.

And he's like, look, because he was on Celebrity Apprentice.

He was on the, when it was in 65th place or 64th place.

And

he said,

he said, you know, I was on Celebrity Apprentice.

So I know.

And we talked about how Donald Trump claimed the money for a charity that actually pen raised.

And I wrote a check to.

I mean, I wrote a check to his charity, but then he gave it to the Celebrity Apprentice.

And Donald Trump released that during the campaign as one of his charitable contributions.

And I'm like, that was my money.

But anyway.

He said, and the most amazing thing, he said, I sat in a room.

Now, this is the time when he's 61st, 60th place.

I didn't know it was that low.

I thought it was like, you know, fifth.

I didn't realize it was that low and had been that low for a long time.

He said they were sitting there, and it was him and maybe Trace.

I don't remember who.

And it was down to the two, the last two contestants.

I think it was Trace Atkins.

And they're sitting down and

they're getting ready to do this satellite tour.

And Donald Trump is with them.

And the guy from NBC comes out and says, okay, listen,

you talk about anything, but do not talk about the ratings.

Ratings have not been good for quite some time.

And Trump is there.

Well,

no, no.

He's saying it.

He said, I didn't realize they were saying it to Donald Trump.

I thought they were saying it to all of us.

He said, but as it turns out, they were saying it to Donald.

Because he loves to talk about ratings.

And he said, they said, do not talk about the ratings.

You can talk about anything you want.

Do not talk about the ratings.

And Donald said, great.

They go on the satellite tour and they're introduced and they say,

you know, here from the celebrity apprentice is Donald Trump and Trace.

And he said, he interrupts him and says, Listen, before we go on, I want you to know our ratings are huge.

They're the biggest they've ever been.

We're number one across the board.

Oh, my gosh.

Trace and Penn looked at each other like, what the hell just happened?

He doesn't care.

He doesn't care.

Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a loser,

even though he had higher ratings than Donald Trump had in the last apprentice.

He looks like a loser

because Donald Trump is a master at just turning everything around.

Yeah, I mean, that's the season they finished in 84th place and had 5.6 million in 2012, which was, I mean, the worst season of Celebrity Apprentice,

but a little bit better than the worst season of the regular apprentice and just a tick higher than ours.

So that was not 67th.

That was 84th.

84th.

84th.

So it was even worse.

That is the worst ratings of the apprentice celebrity.

Wow.

I mean, you're pretty accomplished when you can claim you're number one when you're actually 84th.

No, you know what?

And have people believe it.

Have people believe it.

And is the interesting part.

Yeah.

And I think it's just because he rode that.

No wonder the guy's president.

I think people rode that so long with him as it's just fun.

I mean, he's just Donald Trump.

That's just Donald being Donald.

Well, I don't know.

And so by not calling him out and calling him like sociopathic about the lies,

instead, the media just was like, ah, it's Donald Trump.

Of course he's going to say that.

At least for a while, until he got the nomination.

Until he got the nomination.

But I mean for the last 30 years.

I don't mean the last 90 or 90,

you know, a year and a half.

I mean in the last 30 years.

Yeah, you know, but I mean, and this is not exclusive to Republicans by any means.

It's the same treatment Joe Biden gets.

Yes.

It was the same thing.

It was the same treatment.

Everyone was like, you know, and is he just a joke?

It's just Joe being Joe.

No, Joe is touching women.

There's a problem there.

He's obviously snuggling up to a lot of women.

He's just making up stories constantly.

And people are just like, ah, well, come on.

He's just, Joe's just made.

Occasionally he says TV was invented in the 1400s.

It's Joe Biden.

Give him a break.

And everyone's like, oh, oh, okay.

I guess we're supposed to ignore it.

Very strange.

Some,

I hope this isn't happening with Ben Carson, but

I don't understand Ben Carson.

Ben Carson is obviously a brilliant man.

Brilliant.

He is smart enough to do the homework.

He's smart enough to figure things out.

Well, he certainly knows better than this.

Does he?

He has to.

Does he?

He has to.

How can you possibly say this?

I don't know.

Do you have the audio or you just have the...

No, just because it was a speech to the employees of the agency.

Listen to this.

He was talking about America and what a great land of opportunity it is.

And he said, and I'm quoting, there were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.

Okay, stop.

i don't think i've ever heard people who were kidnapped chained chained forced into the bottom of the ship called

immigrants whipped and and it's like saying you know a lot of them were tourists they were just here and you know that they eventually died here but they were tourists he makes it worse though because he says but they too had a dream that one day their sons daughters grandsons granddaughters great grandsons great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land No.

In the bottom of the slave ship, that's what they're thinking.

They were probably thinking, can I go home?

Yeah, how do I get home?

Yeah.

They were thinking, how can I get away from this god-forsaken land that enslaves us so I could get back home?

That's what they were thinking.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

This vacation lasted too long.

I've got to get back home.

Hey, they were working hard, too.

They were working hard, just like the immigrants today.

Not for very much money.

Yeah, like

none.

Like zero.

What?

If he was a a white guy, he'd be out of office already.

He'd be done already.

Can I say something, honestly?

I have serious issues with his

ability to reason at times.

Yeah.

I mean, he's obviously a smart guy.

Does he have zero?

I can't even call it common sense because it's not about him saying this like, oh my gosh, don't you have common sense?

You don't say that?

No, no, no.

Don't you have common sense enough to know that's that's not true?

Well, I mean, you know, look, it could be a function of him being in an immediate environment and trying to be too interesting.

You know, like a lot of times people, like

we've seen that we've had this before where we go into interviews and your instinct as

someone who's in the public eye is to say things that are interesting to people that might cause them to think or cause them to rethink something.

And sometimes you realize that's not a good idea, particularly when it's not your show or not your venue, because it will just get twisted into something else.

It's not your job to give someone who's interviewing you good material.

That is not your gig.

It's almost time to say Asta La Vista to Ben Carson.

What was the context of this, though?

Is he making a point about immigration where, well, look, there's been a lot of people who have struggled through tough times.

No, no, right.

Like, I'm not even asking.

If you're not struggling through tough times, you're a slave.

Right.

I get it.

But my point is, that might be, he might be trying to make a point that is sensible and is trying to provide good material and went way too far.

But he doesn't, and this is why he's not president of the United States, by the way.

One of the reasons

he's incapable of finding when he has this problem.

I would probably believe that if he was trying to find some entertaining things while he was on stage in front of the entire country, but he wasn't.

He was practically sleeping on stage when the country was watching.

So he's not the guy who's like, I'm looking for a joke.

Anybody got a joke?

Anybody got a good story I can tell?

He might think of himself more that way.

Do we know what the setup question was to it by any chance, Pat?

Do you have that?

You look at it.

I'm going to take a quick break.

You look for it and we'll come back.

Juice hacking.

I had never heard of this.

Have you ever heard of this?

No, I had never heard of this.

I mean, they have those weird juices that you get.

They're like cucumber and spinach and juice.

It's not juice.

Why would you want to hack that?

I don't want that.

This is when you plug your car, your cord, your phone into like an airport charging station.

Scammers know that

when you recharge

your phone, they can actually download a lot of your personal data.

I don't know how this works.

I don't know if they have to plug into something else on the electrical system, but it goes into hotspots.

And if you're plugged in and you're recharging, they can hack into your phone and take all your personal data.

You're listening to the Glenbeck Program.

This is the Glenbeck Program.

That's what America

is about.

A land of dreams and opportunity.

There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.

Oh, boy.

Right?

Man.

But they too had a dream.

I want to go home.

That one day their sons,

daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons.

It's almost like Michael Jackson giving a serious action.

You know, I think he has all of the abilities, the electric speaking abilities of Michael Jackson.

Mr.

Gorbachev, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate.

Mr.

Gorbachev, open this gate.

Mr.

Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

I think you may be right.

He really does have the he has the energy level of Michael Jackson when he's just talking.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.
