Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Speaker 3 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glen Beck program.

Speaker 7 I am so glad that you have tuned in today.

Speaker 8 We've got a lot on our plate.

Speaker 9 I'm going to start with my surrender speech because

Speaker 5 every day it's a different person that we've got to stand with.

Speaker 13 It's a flip-flop of an issue.

Speaker 14 Today,

Speaker 15 if you want to condemn those who are not in the Trump camp today,

Speaker 16 as I think they were yesterday, but today,

Speaker 5 you would have to condemn

Speaker 11 Trey Gowdy.

Speaker 18 But who you would find on your side today is Maxine Waters.

Speaker 20 I surrender.

Speaker 21 We begin there right now.

Speaker 21 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.
Cause we are one,

Speaker 21 I will be my drum,

Speaker 21 I have made my choice, we will overcome,

Speaker 21 cause we are one.

Speaker 22 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 15 Maybe I'm reading this wrong,

Speaker 15 but I believe that Maxine Waters

Speaker 25 was verifying that Obama did

Speaker 27 tap Trump's phones.

Speaker 28 It sure sounds that way.

Speaker 25 I don't know anymore.

Speaker 29 Listen.

Speaker 30 Trail. And

Speaker 30 I think there is a trail. And I think that the Obama administration has done everything that it can possibly do.

Speaker 30 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.

Speaker 22 So

Speaker 22 she says he's done everything he can, apparently including surveying the Trump Tower. Right.

Speaker 33 So he couldn't.

Speaker 18 So he could expose this Russian thing.

Speaker 19 So

Speaker 15 if you want to believe Donald Trump, on your side today is Maxine Waters.

Speaker 33 Now, look, I'm a guy who stayed with very strange bedfellows, you know, at four.

Speaker 38 Oh, Maxine Waters is a definite strange bedfellow.

Speaker 39 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 17 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.

Speaker 41 Listen to this.

Speaker 1 Have you seen evidence that the Obama team did surveillance at Trump Tower?

Speaker 42 No, sir.

Speaker 1 Have you seen evidence that the Trump team colluded with the Russians during the election last year?

Speaker 44 No, sir. And reports to the contrary have been described as demonstrably false to me by people who would know.

Speaker 45 Trey Gowdy's a traitor. Trey Gowdy's a turncoat.

Speaker 46 Trey Gowdy's changed every point of view he ever had.

Speaker 19 I surrender.

Speaker 34 Wow. I surrender.

Speaker 16 Now, Trey Gowdy did say that he hasn't seen anything on the Russians, right?

Speaker 33 So

Speaker 13 there's no evidence of the Russians colluding.

Speaker 31 He said, in fact,

Speaker 39 he's seen.

Speaker 31 A person he trusts has seen evidence to the opposite.

Speaker 48 Opposite.

Speaker 16 Which would be evidence to the opposite would be what?

Speaker 25 That they're planning a war with Russia?

Speaker 46 I don't know what that means.

Speaker 4 I don't know.

Speaker 51 I'm not sure that that's what either of them actually meant.

Speaker 52 But hell, we're in the...

Speaker 26 We're in the Twilight Zone. Yeah, we're

Speaker 6 in the fake news, so let's celebrate.

Speaker 13 I got in this morning and I heard the Maxine Waters audio and I thought, okay, I can't do it.

Speaker 22 I just, I don't want to do it anymore.

Speaker 2 No, no.

Speaker 19 I don't want to figure it out.

Speaker 50 I don't care anymore.

Speaker 1 I just, I just want to go.

Speaker 22 That's what I'm talking about. Can I tell you something?

Speaker 57 I'm going to be real honest with you.

Speaker 58 Pat and I were having a conversation yesterday, and Pat wondered about my spirituality, I think.

Speaker 61 That's what you were questioning, really, Pat.

Speaker 3 Yeah, no, that's what it was.

Speaker 57 And I'm going to be real honest with you.

Speaker 64 I am cheating on Tanya.

Speaker 63 Oh.

Speaker 60 And I am okay with it.

Speaker 65 Really? Yep. I'm going to do it.

Speaker 25 The world makes no sense.

Speaker 67 I am going to continue to cheat on Tanya.

Speaker 1 Did you want to clarify that before there's 5,000 news stories about it?

Speaker 68 What do you mean?

Speaker 64 I'm cheating on her.

Speaker 1 Okay, good. There we go.
All right. It's out there.
I guess you can run with it, guys. He's not

Speaker 22 another woman in your life.

Speaker 56 Oh, no, no, no, no, not another woman.

Speaker 61 Netflix.

Speaker 38 I'm watching shows that she thinks that we're watching together.

Speaker 18 And you're watching ahead.

Speaker 3 And I'm watching ahead.

Speaker 62 And then I pretend

Speaker 43 that I haven't seen the episode that

Speaker 22 you're not watching together.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 32 More egregious.

Speaker 71 It sure feels that way some days.

Speaker 72 That's pretty much it.

Speaker 22 It does.

Speaker 3 Are you cheating on your wife, too?

Speaker 74 I do, but

Speaker 21 it's hard.

Speaker 38 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.

Speaker 22 You've already seen this.

Speaker 33 I can't take it because I honestly, I've given up.

Speaker 76 And she, she, we're in an open marriage.

Speaker 67 She knows.

Speaker 22 She knows. Well, and you're not sure.

Speaker 22 Yes.

Speaker 18 She knows you're watching ahead, though. She knows I'm watching ahead.

Speaker 58 Here's why.

Speaker 40 We were watching, I don't remember what it was, Gotham.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 51 she said, and we're like on episode three of season one.

Speaker 39 All right.

Speaker 62 And

Speaker 43 she's like, I really want to watch that. I said, okay, okay.

Speaker 79 So

Speaker 80 we start watching it.

Speaker 81 And all the way through, I'm doing this.

Speaker 61 Honey, are you awake?

Speaker 82 Honey, are you awake? Yes.

Speaker 52 Yes. I'm awake.

Speaker 22 Okay.

Speaker 47 All right. No, you're not.

Speaker 4 Yes, I am. I'm awake.

Speaker 15 I'm watching. You want to quiz me on what just happened?

Speaker 52 No, no, no.

Speaker 57 I just want to make sure you're awake.

Speaker 6 Then, you know, five minutes later, body's twitching.

Speaker 83 She's, She's,

Speaker 54 honey, are you awake?

Speaker 24 Yes.

Speaker 4 I'm awake.

Speaker 4 Okay. I'm awake.

Speaker 66 I'm watching it.

Speaker 84 Just leave me alone. Okay.

Speaker 85 All right. So, so you're just watching.

Speaker 22 All right. So here's what happened.

Speaker 6 So we, I finished the episode because every time I said something, she was asleep.

Speaker 61 Then the next day, after she wasn't tired and she had food in her belly because she is hangry like like crazy.

Speaker 6 She said,

Speaker 39 Okay,

Speaker 88 I fell asleep last night.

Speaker 39 I'm like, No.

Speaker 37 Yeah, I fell asleep last night. So, can we try to watch it again tonight? We'll watch it again tonight.

Speaker 89 Okay.

Speaker 35 So,

Speaker 37 she's zipping through.

Speaker 16 I say, I've seen that.

Speaker 43 I've seen that. I've seen that.
I've seen that.

Speaker 37 20 minutes into it.

Speaker 59 Okay, I haven't seen any of that.

Speaker 50 So go back by five minutes.

Speaker 90 All right.

Speaker 33 So we start walking, watching.

Speaker 91 Within 10 minutes, honey, are you awake?

Speaker 52 yes I'm awake three

Speaker 21 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.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 22 And like what?

Speaker 87 Like

Speaker 61 what show does she want to experience with you?

Speaker 38 Oh, well, we watch specific network shows that we DVR together. Now, so the Netflix shows, I can just binge.

Speaker 22 I'm gone.

Speaker 47 Have a nice day.

Speaker 38 But then there are specific ones that we watch, you know, at our own time.

Speaker 61 What is this network thing you're talking about?

Speaker 92 You know,

Speaker 22 those

Speaker 21 channels television anymore.

Speaker 58 Yeah,

Speaker 1 Jeffy only watches television when it's on. That's the only time he watches it.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 64 Netflix and

Speaker 76 Amazon and even HBO have totally destroyed.

Speaker 94 Yeah, Hulu, too.

Speaker 38 I mean, they've started to create a bunch of their own content now.

Speaker 22 I mean, it's so much different.

Speaker 58 You can watch, you watch television now.

Speaker 76 You watch

Speaker 39 Netflix or Amazon.

Speaker 25 You know which ones are on network television.

Speaker 58 Because I don't watch network television at all.

Speaker 60 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.

Speaker 93 They're just they're bad.

Speaker 39 Yeah, they're bad on this cheating thing.

Speaker 18 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.

Speaker 18 I mean they're serious about it.

Speaker 32 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.

Speaker 76 I so agree with Maxine Waters today.

Speaker 34 They said 46%

Speaker 32 of couples have cheated on each other.

Speaker 26 46%

Speaker 50 on Netflix.

Speaker 18 On Netflix.

Speaker 25 Oh my gosh. Can I just

Speaker 96 may I take a sidebar, Your Honor?

Speaker 97 Sure. Okay.
Go ahead.

Speaker 75 Did you see the

Speaker 64 Jim Barna, is it Jim Barna, James Barna?

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 53 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.

Speaker 58 You understand the Bible, and that's the lens that they see everything through.

Speaker 61 Is this in the U.S.?

Speaker 22 Only 55%.

Speaker 22 Only 55%.

Speaker 37 55%.

Speaker 6 Okay. That was the last one.

Speaker 33 He was confused by the last election.

Speaker 51 And he's like, where's the biblical worldview for 55%?

Speaker 16 And so he goes back and he does another study. This study just came out.

Speaker 79 49%

Speaker 40 now say they have a biblical worldview.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that went down 6% how fast.

Speaker 39 Oh, but wait, but wait, there's more.

Speaker 88 But wait, there's more.

Speaker 6 But he did something that he's never done before.

Speaker 77 He said,

Speaker 105 let me ask you biblical questions.

Speaker 42 Do you believe that Noah, do you believe Moses?

Speaker 101 Do you believe Jesus? Do you believe all these stories?

Speaker 29 Okay.

Speaker 16 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 87 49% now say, yes, I believe those stories are true.

Speaker 37 All right. Only 49%.

Speaker 11 However, he added the traits that go with it.

Speaker 33 So, if you say you agreed with

Speaker 24 the Moses story is true, he threw in

Speaker 107 cultural questions about stealing, about lying, about

Speaker 47 smart.

Speaker 32 That's really right.

Speaker 50 That's good.

Speaker 51 So, do you live any of those things?

Speaker 109 So, out of the 49%,

Speaker 51 only 15%

Speaker 21 actually have a biblical worldview 15 here in the United States

Speaker 22 follow through 15% with their standards follow through with their standards in America and

Speaker 53 here's the other fun fact

Speaker 111 wow millennials four percent oh I I believe that four percent

Speaker 22 hmm that's

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 22 I mean, we talked about this, too.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you should even be in office.

Speaker 54 But I wonder if that was like the Barna thing that, you know,

Speaker 25 now put them, you know, put Bill Clinton back in the 90s, but make him a Republican.

Speaker 53 I wonder if they would have felt the same way.

Speaker 1 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%.

Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh. From 30 to 72.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 22 Is that brimstone I'm hearing land on the roof?

Speaker 1 It did start to rain, and it is heavy.

Speaker 3 I don't know exactly what brimstone is, but

Speaker 22 you're going to find out soon enough, either, but I'm hearing a new roof. That's amazing, isn't it?

Speaker 16 Wow. That's amazing.

Speaker 37 It shows how out of step, quite honestly,

Speaker 112 we are.

Speaker 11 We try to live our life that way.

Speaker 12 We don't always succeed, but we try to live our life that way.

Speaker 37 And I think a good portion of, not Jeffy,

Speaker 39 obviously.

Speaker 58 I think a good portion of this audience tries to live their life that way.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 22 That's only six years.

Speaker 56 So I have to tell you, let me take a quick break.

Speaker 61 I have to tell you about this conversation that I had with Rafi this weekend, which was horrifying to me.

Speaker 22 Your son? Horrifying. Yeah.

Speaker 16 No, I mean, it wasn't.

Speaker 54 No,

Speaker 21 I bet all of our children, if they're that age,

Speaker 86 will kind of have, you'll have the same kind of conversation.

Speaker 16 And here's the thing.

Speaker 64 I don't know

Speaker 114 how to correct it.

Speaker 58 And it's a conversation all of us should be having with our kids right now.

Speaker 115 But the world is changing so fast under our feet.

Speaker 109 I don't even know how to, I don't know how to even talk about this with him.

Speaker 78 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 78 Mercury.

Speaker 46 I'm like that.

Speaker 68 I'm Michael. The Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 10 Welcome to the program. Glad you're here.

Speaker 6 So I had a conversation with Rafe.

Speaker 54 Saturday morning, we get up, and

Speaker 6 we're on our way to breakfast, and I had seen a story that morning

Speaker 99 called,

Speaker 88 I can't remember now, Life or something.

Speaker 95 I can't remember what it was.

Speaker 65 But it's a short film that's going to be made

Speaker 121 into a motion picture.

Speaker 60 And it's a really amazing little short film.

Speaker 40 And it's about a robot,

Speaker 59 AI.

Speaker 6 The year is 2017.

Speaker 55 And AI comes online.

Speaker 1 And we started. We heard that the future year is now our year.
We are now here.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 53 AI comes online and it becomes smarter than humans.

Speaker 89 Okay.

Speaker 6 So now this is

Speaker 53 this is iRobot in a way,

Speaker 12 except the opposite.

Speaker 73 The robots are good.

Speaker 42 There's nobody evil, seemingly, nobody evil controlling them.

Speaker 40 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

Speaker 11 people like pets.

Speaker 67 And so

Speaker 86 there are those who want all the robots shut down.

Speaker 58 Now, I had a conversation with a guy from Silicon Valley three, four weeks ago, and I think I told you this.

Speaker 100 And he said

Speaker 49 his friends who are working in AI are freaked out.

Speaker 93 that

Speaker 55 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.

Speaker 58 And when I say figure out, it's not figure out like there's some evil plot.

Speaker 14 It's when the politicians

Speaker 107 have to blame it on somebody because they're saying these jobs are coming back when indeed those jobs aren't coming back.

Speaker 105 and millions more are about to be lost, okay?

Speaker 96 Only because of technology change.

Speaker 86 It's like the cotton gin.

Speaker 77 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.

Speaker 83 But AI and robots are about to change everything in the next 10 years.

Speaker 51 And they are truly frightened.

Speaker 121 That the politicians, this is my part of it.

Speaker 71 When I explained it to him, he was like, oh my gosh, yes.

Speaker 110 They're afraid of the center of the country saying these robots are taking our jobs and

Speaker 107 they're going to come and storm the castle and kill all the tech people.

Speaker 74 And I added that it will be the politicians that will lead them there because they will need some cover for themselves.

Speaker 122 because they've been telling everybody these jobs are coming back.

Speaker 6 So they'll need to say, well, you know who the problem is is Silicon Valley.

Speaker 86 They're replacing all of these with robots.

Speaker 38 And the sheep will run to kill the future.

Speaker 123 Okay.

Speaker 91 So this movie kind of touches on that.

Speaker 6 And a robot kills somebody in self-defense.

Speaker 87 And they use that

Speaker 94 to

Speaker 6 go get and try to kill all the robots.

Speaker 7 And they're going to shut them all down and kill them all.

Speaker 86 But the robots are like, no, I'm a sentient.

Speaker 122 I'm a being.

Speaker 17 Yes, I don't have a soul, but I'm a sentient being.

Speaker 88 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...

Speaker 74 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 108 Mercury.

Speaker 122 This is the Glenn Beck program. We're getting Philip Klein on the phone.

Speaker 10 He's a managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 101 He has gone, they released the Obamacare bill last night to the public so you could read it.

Speaker 58 We're going to get to him in just a second.

Speaker 53 He has read the entire bill.

Speaker 62 Stu stayed up late with him watching him online reading the bill.

Speaker 88 And it's agonizing.

Speaker 36 It's absolutely agonizing.

Speaker 70 We'll get to it here in just a second.

Speaker 18 It must have been thrilling, though, to watch somebody read.

Speaker 22 Well, to be clear, I would, Stu.

Speaker 1 He was tweeting the details. I was following.
I wasn't like hanging out with him in the room as he was reading it.

Speaker 88 It was thrilling.

Speaker 101 So here's the,

Speaker 43 let me finish the story with Rafi this weekend.

Speaker 6 So I show Rafi this trailer of this movie, and he's like, that's great.

Speaker 67 And I said, it's going going to happen in your lifetime, dude.

Speaker 67 And he said, What do you mean?

Speaker 86 And I said, There's going to come a time where a computer will say, Don't turn me off. I'm lonely.

Speaker 110 And by 2050, there will be more attorneys for computers than there are currently in all fields.

Speaker 1 And that's like a Ray Kurzweil connection.

Speaker 42 That's a Ray Kurzweil connection that they're going to claim sentience

Speaker 69 some point

Speaker 67 between 2030 and 2050.

Speaker 43 He says closer to 2050.

Speaker 121 But I think that number in a lot of people's minds in Silicon Valley is creeping forward closer to us.

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 6 So I said to Rafi, is that life?

Speaker 53 And he said, no.

Speaker 6 And I said, how do you know?

Speaker 67 And he said, well,

Speaker 43 because they don't have a soul.

Speaker 12 And I said, okay, how do you know?

Speaker 55 Well, they're not born.

Speaker 1 By the way, this is revenge, Rafe, for when you used to say why every time you're three years old.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 58 So we went down this road, and I said, we got to the point where he said, well,

Speaker 120 we'll just have to find a way to live together, Dad.

Speaker 100 And I said, how's that working out for us so far?

Speaker 12 And he said, okay,

Speaker 117 well, not so

Speaker 67 And I said, right.

Speaker 49 And if the robots

Speaker 110 are smarter than you, two things.

Speaker 29 How long before they start looking at you as a pet or a problem?

Speaker 49 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.

Speaker 58 Or how long before we start feeling they're thinking that, even if they're not, and we have to stop them?

Speaker 54 He had no answer for it, and neither do I.

Speaker 51 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.

Speaker 98 Either that or a robot will fill it in.

Speaker 25 All right, let's go to Philip Klein.

Speaker 58 He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 104 Philip, thank you for your your hard work on this.

Speaker 58 It's my understanding that this is worse than we thought it would be.

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 says

Speaker 125 and declares that liberalism has won.

Speaker 125 And the reason, the big question during this repeal and replace process

Speaker 125 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?

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 However,

Speaker 125 relative to any conception of what a free market for health care is, this would not be it.

Speaker 125 It still essentially

Speaker 125 has the federal government try to to use a mixture of regulations and mandates,

Speaker 125 social engineering, and massive government subsidies to try to expand the number of people covered and dictate the type of coverage that people have.

Speaker 91 Okay, so a couple of things. The Cadillac tax, is that still there?

Speaker 125 Basically, they delayed the implementation of the Cadillac tax.

Speaker 122 But it's still there.

Speaker 125 It's still there, but they got rid of another plan to cap the exclusion. I mean, because basically, keep in mind, too, that

Speaker 125 the

Speaker 125 earlier versions of Republican and Conservative replacement plans going back a decade

Speaker 125 did want to move away from the employer-based insurance model because

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 This is the idea of portability is something that we used to often hear about when Republicans talked about health care.

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And a lot of this has to do with budget gimmickry

Speaker 125 to work the congressional budget off the score.

Speaker 36 Aaron Powell, so in other words, if we say we have a Cadillac tax,

Speaker 76 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.

Speaker 120 Yes.

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And it looks like Republicans are doing a lot of various things such as as that.

Speaker 125 For instance, there's a lot of upfront spending that they're giving tens of billions of dollars to states to try to

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 But I'm kind of skeptical that it'll ever happen if they punt to 2020.

Speaker 1 Think about this.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 in the midst of a presidential election a few weeks before Iowa on the Democratic side. So that just seems completely ridiculous.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 71 They're going to figure out a way to extend it longer.

Speaker 58 They're going to show that they think they'll still be in control.

Speaker 94 I don't think they will.

Speaker 42 They think they'll still be in control.

Speaker 47 And then they can look like the sugar daddy.

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 Obamacare's Medicaid expansion or

Speaker 125 the exchanges.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 However, we are not going to allow new enrollees. And what we've seen from other,

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 So they froze new enrollment, and within a few years, two-thirds of people have left the expanded Medicaid. That's because

Speaker 125 people find jobs. They move in and out of the health insurance market.
Now everyone stays static the whole time.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 105 Philip, when you say

Speaker 86 that liberalism has already won,

Speaker 99 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.

Speaker 70 But this is really progressivism has won.

Speaker 99 The progressives in the Republican Party are just

Speaker 70 as excited as big government fill-in-the-blank as any progressive on the left.

Speaker 99 They just want to be in charge of it.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 So now they just want to use the word progressive because it hasn't been sort of,

Speaker 125 it hasn't been as tainted in the public mind yet right well that's because

Speaker 75 that's because FDR had to stop using the word progressive because they had made progressive a dirty word so he made them liberals

Speaker 52 yeah I mean it's the same thing is there anything it that I've heard Trump talk about buying

Speaker 78 insurance across state lines is there anything like that in it

Speaker 125 I don't see that but I don't see that from the initial bill that might have been, again,

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 So you had situations in which

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And I also think there's a federalism argument in favor of not doing that and letting states formulate

Speaker 125 their own insurance schemes. If Massachusetts wants to have a health care program that more resembles Obamacare

Speaker 125 and they're willing to pay for it, then

Speaker 125 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 86 We have about a minute.

Speaker 86 Okay.

Speaker 125 Basically, a lot of the regulations and requirements on insurance. So for instance, the insurance, the pre-existing conditioning requirement.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 111 Well, the mandate is still there, just a different way.

Speaker 125 Yeah. So then there is also

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And then the Medicaid expansion, they do

Speaker 125 it seems as though there's still going to be higher funding relative to what would have been the place before Obamacare.

Speaker 125 However, it does move toward more of a block grant type of system.

Speaker 125 There's some expansion of health savings accounts.

Speaker 125 But the overall scheme in terms of

Speaker 125 the requirements on insurance coverage, there's a lot more of that. It still limits the amount that people that insurers could charge

Speaker 125 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,

Speaker 125 it basically, in many ways, has less regulation, but still regulation.

Speaker 125 Lower taxes, but still includes taxes.

Speaker 64 We put some Bondo on this car and gave it a new paint job, and it's now Trump Care.

Speaker 25 Philip, thank you very much.

Speaker 40 I appreciate it.

Speaker 58 Philip Klein, he is the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 1 Also, the book Overcoming Obamacare, Three Approaches to Reversing the Government Takeover of Healthcare. If you want to read what a good solution would be like, it's a good place to start.

Speaker 71 Well, it's going to remain.

Speaker 1 It'll be down in the fiction section.

Speaker 21 Now, this, record days for the stock market, right?

Speaker 13 Not really. Some economists believe the U.S.

Speaker 59 stock market is now overvalued at levels that we haven't seen since 1929 or 1999.

Speaker 53 What followed in those two time periods?

Speaker 66 Stocks fell by 89% and in 99 they fell by 50%.

Speaker 6 Some economists believe that a 50% collapse in the market is not far off.

Speaker 123 Banks now are investing in the stock market.

Speaker 86 They're getting the

Speaker 53 free money from the treasury and they are investing in the stock market.

Speaker 100 So they're buying stocks based on loans.

Speaker 22 this is

Speaker 74 the Glenn Beck program

Speaker 108 Mercury

Speaker 23 the Glenn Beck program

Speaker 84 I'm just listening to a chicken play the Star Spangled Banner.

Speaker 121 It's

Speaker 18 America Beautiful.

Speaker 10 Or America Beautiful.

Speaker 6 It's a, I mean, it's better than talking about the health care bill.

Speaker 22 Sure is.

Speaker 17 Listen to a chicken play.

Speaker 18 Checking that out with its beak. That's pretty good.

Speaker 56 That's pretty good.

Speaker 38 You'll be performing your surgery soon at a Trump care location near you.

Speaker 108 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Speaker 123 No, I know. Jeffy just poked me and was like, You're on.
I know, Jeffy.

Speaker 121 I know. I just can't.

Speaker 80 Just went over the health care bill from the Republicans.

Speaker 58 Congratulations.

Speaker 113 We have a health care bill.

Speaker 99 We have

Speaker 5 Obamacare

Speaker 76 going to be renamed now Trump Care.

Speaker 14 It is almost the same thing,

Speaker 11 very few exceptions.

Speaker 86 It is absolutely horrendous.

Speaker 58 And congratulations.

Speaker 61 We now own it.

Speaker 14 We now own everything that's going to go wrong with healthcare. We now own it.

Speaker 18 Congratulations, Republicans.

Speaker 100 Great job on that one.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This is the type of bill I would expect it to be. Yes.

Speaker 72 If the Democrats are not. If the Democrats had that majority of the bills.

Speaker 22 There's no reason for Democrats to oppose this.

Speaker 3 No, none.

Speaker 22 What's the reason? Why would you oppose this?

Speaker 7 I talked to Samantha B last night, and I said, you know, the health care bill, right?

Speaker 122 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.

Speaker 113 And I'm like, yep, you're right.

Speaker 3 It's going to have everything in it the left likes. And it does.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 13 We have the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Speaker 4 This is what you do when you have all three branches.

Speaker 58 It's depressing.

Speaker 43 Progressivism has won in America.

Speaker 12 But I've got some good news.

Speaker 12 A new coloring book is out, Tony the Tampon.

Speaker 22 Oh, good. Tony, Tony, to remind,

Speaker 14 quote, to remind kids that men get periods too.

Speaker 22 Oh, good golly.

Speaker 15 That may actually be true because blood is shooting from my whatever right now.

Speaker 2 We begin there, right now. I will make a stand, I will raise my

Speaker 22 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 22 Uh-huh.

Speaker 15 So we want to degender tampons now.

Speaker 10 Because I always grew up, I wanted to wear tampons.

Speaker 122 I felt left out.

Speaker 5 Growing up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,

Speaker 6 Cass Klemer hit puberty in a school that kept quiet about menstruation.

Speaker 58 And by the way, I just noticed menstruation has the word men in the first

Speaker 22 three letters. Yes, yes.

Speaker 18 In fact, the first four letters are men's, so it belongs to us.

Speaker 95 All of us.

Speaker 43 Because of her personal experience, she stopped to stop the silence and shine the light on the men who get periods too.

Speaker 82 What?

Speaker 82 You know, what?

Speaker 40 My wife said to me the other day, we went to bed and she said, Why is there blood on your pillow?

Speaker 58 And I said, I don't know.

Speaker 53 It might have been from a nosebleed or something.

Speaker 66 I may have menstruated.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure.

Speaker 16 To achieve that goal, she has created the character Tony

Speaker 21 the Tampon with his googly eyes.

Speaker 122 The adventures of Tony the Tampon

Speaker 110 with Marina the Menstrual Cup.

Speaker 60 I don't even want to know what that is.

Speaker 122 Patrice the Pad and Sebastian the Sponge.

Speaker 22 Nice.

Speaker 46 Nice.

Speaker 7 Sebastian the Sponge is a men.

Speaker 14 And yes, men do get

Speaker 65 periods.

Speaker 18 That's why the name feminine products is the wrong term. That has to go away.

Speaker 61 I'd rather help just one gender queer or trans menstruat.

Speaker 94 That's what I am.

Speaker 7 I finally found my place.

Speaker 117 I'm a transmenstrator.

Speaker 14 Because I think I'm having my period all the time.

Speaker 61 You are agitated.

Speaker 13 It may be the seven bloated days before I have my period.

Speaker 1 The bloating, yeah.

Speaker 50 Yes.

Speaker 43 It's a tough conversation to have with kids, especially when you consider that adults are often struggling with their own internalized period shame.

Speaker 21 But hopefully, by opening up a fun and creative gateway to discussion, my period coloring book will help make conversation a little easier.

Speaker 39 The Atlantic Cosmo has run articles now on chest feeding, the new inclusive name for breastfeeding, because

Speaker 37 men, of course, can breastfeed as well.

Speaker 22 Right? We all for no.

Speaker 22 Well, yes.

Speaker 26 On all of this.

Speaker 51 Yes.

Speaker 35 Well, I like to strap feed bags to my breasts.

Speaker 101 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.

Speaker 6 I think if you stuck a pin through my nipple, you might be able to suck chocolate pudding out of them.

Speaker 59 I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 It's not something I want to think about ever again. Yeah, well, but I've already gone down that road, apparently.

Speaker 22 Are you sure it's pudding?

Speaker 86 Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's pudding.

Speaker 120 It might be gravy.

Speaker 60 I'm not sure.

Speaker 75 I sweat gravy.

Speaker 1 So what is the argument that men have periods? I've never heard that. I mean, I've heard a lot of things.

Speaker 112 Yeah, no, no, never heard that argument before. No.

Speaker 1 No. Can you explain it, Jeff? You know all the weird, you know, sort of the different

Speaker 1 cultural.

Speaker 121 He doesn't explain this at all in here.

Speaker 1 Do you have you ever heard that argument before?

Speaker 21 That men have go through their menstruation.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 33 I mean, that's.

Speaker 22 Look, you're

Speaker 22 making it like Jeffy.

Speaker 24 He is trying to make it sound like he has a reason for being in this room.

Speaker 43 That's what's happening.

Speaker 17 Now, I may be saying that because I'm on my period, but

Speaker 38 has your wife never said

Speaker 112 never?

Speaker 112 she?

Speaker 60 She never has.

Speaker 12 Now, others have said that as I cry a lot,

Speaker 36 but my wife has never.

Speaker 1 Well, as Jeffy was stalling with his fake information, I have some real hardcore facts on this issue.

Speaker 22 Okay, good.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 112 These are all in quotes.

Speaker 123 Did you get this from Tony the Tampa?

Speaker 1 No, this is from almost as a reliable source, The Daily Beast. Is your man irritable?

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 that was a sample size uh sample size uh observation by the way thank you

Speaker 85 you know uh

Speaker 1 uh it was made up of half male and half-female respondents.

Speaker 1 Revealed 26% of men experienced conditions associated with the female menstrual cycle, including tiredness, cramps, and increased sensitivity.

Speaker 32 Shut up.

Speaker 1 Almost half the women surveyed, 43% said they helped their man through their man-period syndrome.

Speaker 46 Shut up.

Speaker 37 I don't want to hear from these men.

Speaker 127 Shut up.

Speaker 56 You really

Speaker 25 are complaining to your wife that you have cramps and you're a little more sensitive in places or loss sensitivity.

Speaker 99 Shut up.

Speaker 1 Of the men suffering from man periods, 56% said they were irritable.

Speaker 22 So,

Speaker 22 women, man, can I just say something?

Speaker 22 Women,

Speaker 4 are these men not just co-opting

Speaker 49 your

Speaker 22 role, your whatever?

Speaker 85 What do they call it with culture?

Speaker 1 They say appropriating culture.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 34 Aren't we appropriating your culture?

Speaker 1 I was going to say gender, but I don't think that's okay to say anymore because

Speaker 1 I don't think there are genders or there's

Speaker 37 all genders or but that's what it is. It's appropriating your gender.

Speaker 17 We're just moving into your space.

Speaker 14 We won't believe it is it is as obnoxious as what's her name that just changed her name again.

Speaker 62 Dolan, what's her name?

Speaker 52 Right where we're talking.

Speaker 37 Yeah, Dolazal that just changed her name to.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't remember what it was, but it was. Yes, it was a

Speaker 72 series of clips.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 22 She just changed her name to that.

Speaker 36 The woman woman who says she's black and she's clearly white. Yeah.

Speaker 33 What the what is wrong with it?

Speaker 39 Let me go here. Let me go here.

Speaker 51 If you just want your head to completely explode, let's go to, is it Houston or is this?

Speaker 18 Yeah, no, it's this is here in the Dallas area.

Speaker 92 Good, Fort Worth. DFW area.
Great.

Speaker 43 Okay, so this is from Texas.

Speaker 39 Local news. Listen.

Speaker 128 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.

Speaker 43 Stop for a second.

Speaker 122 So somebody needs chaperoning on a bus.

Speaker 90 All right.

Speaker 12 She is upset the way she has been treated. What do you think this story is about?

Speaker 6 If you say transgenderism, bing, bing, bing, you'd be correct.

Speaker 111 Listen.

Speaker 128 Tarrant County College for class.

Speaker 129 In the women's bathroom, I do feel more comfortable. I never get a second look.

Speaker 128 But it was while walking out of the women's bathroom at TCC Wednesday that Valdez says says the aide made an insensitive comment.

Speaker 22 Oh, no.

Speaker 129 She said,

Speaker 129 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.

Speaker 100 Okay, stop for a second.

Speaker 12 Stop for a second.

Speaker 26 So here is a guy who has not had the surgery.

Speaker 8 He's not transgendered.

Speaker 9 Physiologically.

Speaker 70 He is a man.

Speaker 37 This is a man who identifies as a woman.

Speaker 52 And he says, it's a news story.

Speaker 19 This is a news story.

Speaker 52 Headline should be: Feelings hurt.

Speaker 18 Right. Okay.

Speaker 28 Keep in mind: no one was killed here or beaten.

Speaker 34 Nothing happened here. No.

Speaker 14 What he said is he's coming out of the women's bathroom.

Speaker 117 He's got all the junk downstairs.

Speaker 70 And the teacher says, Don't even start with me. I already have a problem with you using the women's bathroom.

Speaker 50 A woman

Speaker 52 telling

Speaker 21 him

Speaker 73 that

Speaker 22 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

Speaker 4 let me reverse this

Speaker 51 Where is the news story

Speaker 12 where you have a sensitive interview with the woman who says, and there's this guy.

Speaker 22 Hey, I was uncomfortable with that.

Speaker 33 There was this guy who was going into the bathroom.

Speaker 52 I have to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 17 Sometimes he's in there.

Speaker 122 He says he identifies, but he still has the junk downstairs.

Speaker 21 And I feel uncomfortable with that.

Speaker 19 Where is the story on her?

Speaker 8 What you have is two people

Speaker 52 who are uncomfortable.

Speaker 15 But for some reason, only one matters.

Speaker 66 And one is

Speaker 21 both uncomfortable.

Speaker 52 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 16 No, somebody in America, somebody's uncomfortable.

Speaker 58 Well, and it's more than that, too.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 22 The villain. The villain.

Speaker 22 Oh, I know.

Speaker 33 But really, the story is two people uncomfortable.

Speaker 122 Yes, that's the real story.

Speaker 19 That's the real story.

Speaker 125 That, like,

Speaker 129 it became very personal.

Speaker 128 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.

Speaker 128 Valdez says she's actually

Speaker 22 so heated.

Speaker 127 Yeah. It sounds like he was heated and she's like, fine, I'll talk to you about it.

Speaker 85 Fine.

Speaker 21 Which is why they added the...

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 120 Unbelievable.

Speaker 22 That's absolutely unbelievable.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Right? Like, the reason is, theoretically,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Why do we have separate bathrooms? It's because of the junk. It's not because of whatever they're defining as gender today.

Speaker 1 If gender is this fluid thing that it makes no difference as to where you identify, why do we have separate bathrooms at all?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 You should argue that any person should not be offended by anyone coming into the bathroom.

Speaker 62 Can I just kind of hang on?

Speaker 22 No, no, no.

Speaker 75 I have to take a break.

Speaker 95 And then

Speaker 95 I have a question that I never thought I would ask ever, anyone, even let alone on the air.

Speaker 29 But

Speaker 55 I think I need to say why we have separate bathrooms and and maybe I'm the only one that feels this way.

Speaker 39 Okay.

Speaker 43 Now this

Speaker 59 gold line yesterday we told you how the loss of privacy is one of the unintended consequences of the digital economy

Speaker 122 digital economy comes through and you don't have any privacy.

Speaker 67 Somebody is monitoring every transaction.

Speaker 116 Everything you do goes through a third party.

Speaker 59 Today, I want to talk to you about savings.

Speaker 66 Digital economy.

Speaker 37 Savers no longer have the individual freedom to store wealth outside of the system.

Speaker 76 Eliminating cash makes negative interest rates feasible for policymakers.

Speaker 6 So in other words,

Speaker 76 if you can't take your money out of a bank because it's digital,

Speaker 74 there's no physicality about it at all.

Speaker 76 They can charge whatever they want for you to keep it in the bank.

Speaker 110 It's no longer a service that you are granting, they are helping you with, they're providing for you.

Speaker 81 Now they're necessary.

Speaker 35 So now it's who's going to charge you the least to keep your money.

Speaker 77 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.

Speaker 86 You can't take your money out of anything. It's there.

Speaker 123 And a cashless society is coming.

Speaker 123 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.

Speaker 123 Nobody's talked to a futurist for this movie.

Speaker 83 A, he's driving a car.

Speaker 22 That's not going to happen.

Speaker 100 It'll be a self-driving car by 2029.

Speaker 122 And the other, he was looking through, digging through his wallet for money.

Speaker 83 2029, there's not going to be paper money.

Speaker 37 It's digital.

Speaker 104 Now, how do we solve privacy?

Speaker 107 You

Speaker 37 not being a slave to the financial institution.

Speaker 46 I don't know.

Speaker 58 But I would like you to read Goldline's updated free cashless society risk report.

Speaker 25 Read their important risk information.

Speaker 120 Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

Speaker 96 But I want you to read their risk report.

Speaker 123 Don't buy anything today.

Speaker 23 Glenn Bett Program.

Speaker 119 888-727 Back.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 75 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

Speaker 120 the longest running study has come from I think you were they were 12 years old and now

Speaker 43 77.

Speaker 61 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.

Speaker 88 You keep certain traits until you're about 60, and then those traits dramatically change after 60, and they don't know why exactly.

Speaker 62 But this manipulation, that's for men and women.

Speaker 67 This period thing is ridiculous.

Speaker 18 I mean, we've, we're continually, because we don't wholeheartedly buy into catastrophic, man-caused climate change. So we're science deniers.

Speaker 22 They're trying to say that men have periods and, but they're the scientific people.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 18 It's really mind-boggling what's transpired in the last five years.

Speaker 32 It's really,

Speaker 18 I don't think

Speaker 6 everything that you thought was solid would be liquid and everything was liquid.

Speaker 22 It's almost like that.

Speaker 95 It's almost like that.

Speaker 59 Now, could I may I make this observation?

Speaker 121 And I don't mean to be, I mean, I don't like bathroom talk, you know.

Speaker 53 But here's one of the biggest reasons why you don't want to have the bathrooms mixed.

Speaker 52 I don't,

Speaker 60 I don't like it when I'm in the bathroom with a man who is, you know,

Speaker 46 oh geez.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 21 Who are the men who are I don't want to do that around a woman.

Speaker 4 I do not want to do that around a woman.

Speaker 48 And I don't want to hear a woman doing that.

Speaker 22 I don't want them hearing talk.

Speaker 22 Well, it's true, though. It's true.

Speaker 31 Right? Nothing could be truer.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 50 Nothing.

Speaker 52 I mean, you're going into the office

Speaker 3 and

Speaker 25 a woman comes into your bathroom and you look down and you see the shoes and you're like

Speaker 16 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

Speaker 1 seriously nicely put uh but yeah i think i mean we've talked about

Speaker 10 you will yeah that's one reason why we have separate bathrooms it's a matter of class and i agree

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 One man, one bathroom, no such thing as shared bathrooms in the United States via the constitutional amendment. Yes.
One person, one man.

Speaker 18 Everybody gets their own separate place.

Speaker 10 All right, that makes me feel better.

Speaker 10 The Glen Beck program.

Speaker 10 Look at me.

Speaker 10 The Glenn Beck Program. I want to thank you for listening.

Speaker 58 Today we're going to start

Speaker 11 our serial.

Speaker 121 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.

Speaker 16 This week, our serial's the craziest elections in United States history.

Speaker 73 In recent years, America has had its share of memorable elections.

Speaker 42 But what our country has gone through recently in 2016 is not completely unique.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 The first two American presidential elections might have been the smoothest transitions of power in world history.

Speaker 81 Nothing had been done like this before.

Speaker 73 There was so much unanimity among Americans as to who should lead the country that George Washington was elected unanimously to office two times.

Speaker 73 In 1796, Washington's vice president John Adams seemed the logical choice to succeed him.

Speaker 73 And despite some challenge from others, Adams became the second man to serve as President of the United States.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 Thomas Jefferson decided to oppose Adams and try to stop his re-election.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 But as the dawn of the 19th century loomed, huge disagreements began between the two of them and it began to boil over.

Speaker 73 One of the biggest areas of contention between the two friends was Adams' support for and signing of the Alien and Sedition Act.

Speaker 73 It was an act that essentially allowed government to put anybody who spoke out against them in prison.

Speaker 39 Oh, I'm glad that's gone.

Speaker 73 The act was absolutely un-American and unconstitutional, and Jefferson was not about to let this stand.

Speaker 73 Bernard Weisberger, he's the author of American of Fire, talked about Adams' support of this controversial act.

Speaker 132 John Adams' defense of signing the sedition act, by the way, which he knew was

Speaker 132 a pretty harsh measure. Which put journalists in jail.
Which put journalists in jail. For criticizing the president.
For criticizing the president.

Speaker 132 John Adams

Speaker 132 said there was a real threat of riot and revolution in the streets, that

Speaker 132 of mob rule.

Speaker 132 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

Speaker 132 a bloody slaughterhouse

Speaker 132 with people

Speaker 132 killing each other and executing each other.

Speaker 106 The political divide had begun.

Speaker 73 And so, after Washington's warning to Americans about the baneful effects of the spirit of the party, kicked in to full gear.

Speaker 133 The Jeffersonian Party is the first party to recognize that it has to

Speaker 133 regard party behavior seriously and mobilize voters at the state level.

Speaker 133 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.

Speaker 133 The Federalists think that they just have to present their candidates and the people will naturally gravitate towards them.

Speaker 133 Federalists remain more deferential and more classical in their notions about what politics is supposed to be.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 137 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.

Speaker 137 Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.

Speaker 136 The air will be rent with the cries of distress. The soil will be soaked with blood.

Speaker 137 The nation black with crimes.

Speaker 106 This was from the clergy.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 Reason TV did a series of mock campaign commercials in the style of today that accentuate the tone of the election of 1800.

Speaker 73 Now these are real attacks in their actual words from Jefferson and Adams and their surrogates.

Speaker 138 John Adams is a blind, bald, crippled, toothless man who wants to start a war with France.

Speaker 138 While he's not busy importing mistresses from Europe, he's trying to marry one of his sons to a daughter of King George.

Speaker 119 Haven't we had enough monarchy in America?

Speaker 131 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.

Speaker 134 If Thomas Jefferson wins, murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced.

Speaker 134 The air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes.

Speaker 134 Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames, female chastity violated, children writhing on a pike?

Speaker 135 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 So over the course of a week in February of 1801, the House voted 35 times,

Speaker 73 still unable to break the tie. Nine states were needed to win, but Jefferson and Burr kept winding up with eight.

Speaker 73 Alexander Hamilton, who was a Federalist, disliked Jefferson, but hated Aaron Burr.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 He told them that he would much rather have somebody with wrong principles than someone devoid of any.

Speaker 39 Well, it worked.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 Aaron Burr, the second place finisher, became Jefferson's vice president.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 Four years later, Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton dead in a duel in New Jersey over lingering political animosity.

Speaker 73 John Adams refused to attend Thomas Jefferson's inauguration and the two men became really bitter enemies.

Speaker 73 The healing in their relationship wouldn't begin until 1812 when they began writing letters to each other once again.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 There were four candidates vying for the job, but the top two candidates were John Adams' son, John Quincy Adams.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 So, when the votes were counted,

Speaker 139 the Washington establishment was stunned to discover that Andrew Jackson had won the most popular and electoral votes.

Speaker 139 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 139 Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, had finished last and was out of the running, but he had enough support to play Kingmaker.

Speaker 139 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.

Speaker 139 Adams then immediately offered Clay the job of Secretary of State.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 57 We'll never really know for certain.

Speaker 73 The one thing we do know for sure is that Andrew Jackson, having won the vote but lost the election, was livid.

Speaker 73 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.

Speaker 73 The all-important and wild election of 1860 in the next episode.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Listen live or online at Glenbeck.com/slash serials.

Speaker 118 You know, what's crazy is you watch, we were sitting here listening and watching this,

Speaker 47 and

Speaker 79 we saw almost the first

Speaker 37 35 years of our country in the last year and a half.

Speaker 79 All those crazy elections, almost everything in those three elections

Speaker 89 happened.

Speaker 21 Sure felt like it.

Speaker 57 You know, didn't it?

Speaker 16 I mean, the charges back and forth, you know, a toothless hermaphrodite that was raised by an Indian squaw and fully on hoe cakes.

Speaker 34 I mean, we saw all that.

Speaker 6 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.

Speaker 71 It was close.

Speaker 1 I mean, it seemed like, I mean, again,

Speaker 22 somebody.

Speaker 18 So, once again, somebody who won the popular election didn't win the White House. Right.

Speaker 17 And we think that's so unique, and we're battling over it.

Speaker 50 It's only because multiple times.

Speaker 35 Right. It's only because people don't know their history.

Speaker 53 So earlier today in the show, Hour One, we talked to Philip Klein, who was up all last night.

Speaker 121 He's the managing editor of the Washington Examiner.

Speaker 47 And he went through

Speaker 55 the new Trump care bill.

Speaker 55 And you got to call it Trump Care now, gang.

Speaker 36 because that's what it is.

Speaker 39 We

Speaker 43 now own it as conservatives.

Speaker 82 You now own Trump Care.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of pushback from conservative organizations. Heritage Foundation is already coming out and criticizing it.
A lot of

Speaker 1 I heard Louis Gohmert attacking it.

Speaker 54 Many of the, you know, I've already had a couple of emails from people in D.C.

Speaker 40 that have said,

Speaker 58 this is tremendously bad.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 13 No, guys, it doesn't matter who came up with it.

Speaker 42 If this is Ryan or not, it belongs to Trump.

Speaker 84 It belongs to Russia.

Speaker 112 Although Trump opposed it, it wouldn't belong to Trump.

Speaker 22 No, if he supports it, but he supports it.

Speaker 1 He is supporting it. That is at least.
And he said it was.

Speaker 1 Of course he would.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 gosh, where is this thing going to end up?

Speaker 1 That's a disaster.

Speaker 74 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so they actually, that's not in the bill, which is

Speaker 1 the main thing promised, or one of the main things.

Speaker 6 I mean, you know, we're going to get that later.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 22 Don't worry.

Speaker 112 They're going to get that later. Yeah.
Don't worry.

Speaker 50 We're going to make them pay for it.

Speaker 18 Don't worry. That'll come later.

Speaker 51 Don't worry.

Speaker 34 Believe me.

Speaker 43 No, well, it's not.

Speaker 121 It's not happening.

Speaker 71 And

Speaker 33 this is

Speaker 10 a death knell to the Republican Party. Congratulations.

Speaker 3 You own it.

Speaker 3 Mercury.

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Speaker 43 I want to introduce you to a journalist who has been a lifelong liberal.

Speaker 10 In fact, just a few months ago, he voted for Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 9 He has had a change of heart since the election.

Speaker 7 He has written a New York Post article entitled, I am a Gay New Yorker and I'm Coming Out as a Conservative.

Speaker 7 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.

Speaker 58 We're going to talk to him right now.

Speaker 58 I will make a stand,

Speaker 58 I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Speaker 58 Cause we have won. I will beat my drum.
I have made my choice. We will overcome.

Speaker 58 Cause we are one.

Speaker 22 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 10 Chad with Moore,

Speaker 58 a lifelong liberal and journalist who has now written this line in his op-ed.

Speaker 84 When I was growing up in the Midwest, coming out

Speaker 58 to my family at the age of 15 was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Speaker 75 Today, it is just as nerve-wracking coming out to all of my, to come out

Speaker 86 to all of New York as a conservative.

Speaker 69 Chadwick, welcome to the program.

Speaker 116 May I call you Chad or what do you prefer, Chadwick?

Speaker 125 You can call me anything you'd like, Glenn. Thank you for.

Speaker 97 Well, what do you prefer?

Speaker 50 I know. What do you prefer, though?

Speaker 39 Do you prefer Chadwick?

Speaker 10 Yeah, Chadwick's fine.

Speaker 34 Okay. So, Chadwick,

Speaker 17 is this harder than are the consequences greater than when you came out, or the same or less?

Speaker 125 The consequences are definitely greater. You know,

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 But I had at that time sort of like, you know, I had a fake ID. I was going out to gay bars.

Speaker 125 I already had this sort of network of friends, gay friends that I'd made, or at least accepting friends.

Speaker 125 who I could sort of secretly tell.

Speaker 125 This, I didn't know, I didn't have any conservative friends. I didn't know anyone.

Speaker 125 And And I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, which is the epicenter of New York City of sort of the social justice identity politics brigade.

Speaker 108 Holy cow.

Speaker 125 And

Speaker 125 yeah.

Speaker 125 And

Speaker 125 so

Speaker 125 I was going in completely blind. As we know, that coming out as a conservative,

Speaker 125 you face employment discrimination, absolutely, especially in industries like media, which I'm in.

Speaker 125 We see all this violence on the street. We see people being assaulted and yelled at for no reason.

Speaker 125 So it was

Speaker 125 definitely more nerve-wracking.

Speaker 82 So,

Speaker 121 Chadwick,

Speaker 111 I have a friend who

Speaker 65 is on the other side of the aisle.

Speaker 53 I have several of them.

Speaker 43 And one of them was telling me just the other day that

Speaker 65 they don't know how to even

Speaker 43 speak sometimes to their own friends.

Speaker 69 And they're rock-solid liberal.

Speaker 43 They don't know how to speak to some of their own friends because things are so crazy.

Speaker 99 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,

Speaker 61 you're an enemy.

Speaker 125 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,

Speaker 125 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,

Speaker 125 but you could still mostly have a debate.

Speaker 125 And now that is not the case. And

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And the next time that person saw you, they would not talk to you.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 97 It's moved me into the right. So what is it?

Speaker 79 I mean, was it Donald Trump that moved you there?

Speaker 37 Was it, I mean, how do you define conservative?

Speaker 60 Because I'm not sure how to define that anymore.

Speaker 125 Great point.

Speaker 125 I define, you know, lots of people can disagree with me on this.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 I find that useful.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 6 So, Chadwick, so

Speaker 42 we're probably then in the same category of conservative.

Speaker 86 I don't relate to the big government

Speaker 60 people at all, and I want to leave people alone.

Speaker 86 I didn't have a problem with gay marriage,

Speaker 93 you know, long before Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 88 I just don't think the government has a place in anybody's marriage,

Speaker 11 left, right, gay, straight, doesn't matter.

Speaker 61 They just don't have a place there.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 82 so you're more of a

Speaker 42 libertarian, small government, leave people alone kind of constitutionalist.

Speaker 125 Absolutely. Yes.

Speaker 125 A firm, staunch believer in First and Second Amendment, absolute absolute constitutionalist.

Speaker 88 Did you have a problem with the Obama administration on the First Amendment?

Speaker 125 You know, they did really shady things with the press.

Speaker 125 You know, everyone likes to think that Trump is this authoritarian person, but Obama was going after journalists left and right.

Speaker 125 You know, and

Speaker 125 the Democrats are sort of...

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 So, in that sense, I think Obama, yeah,

Speaker 125 he never tried to stop this radical push to the left that his followers have undergone.

Speaker 58 Talking to Chadwick Moore, he's a journalist out of New York.

Speaker 59 He was known as a liberal.

Speaker 86 He's now a conservative, a libertarian, small government conservative, constitutionalist.

Speaker 58 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,

Speaker 105 My party is really pretty extreme.

Speaker 64 They're embracing this authoritarian kind of

Speaker 49 idea.

Speaker 58 And they rejected that

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 61 They knew they were in the party, but they didn't think they had a real serious place at the table.

Speaker 21 And they've opened their eyes.

Speaker 42 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.

Speaker 51 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?

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And I would say legitimately 50% of those messages are from conservatives from all walks of life, evangelicals, celiarians.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And what you said about,

Speaker 125 it's like President Reagan said, if fascism comes to America, it'll be in the guise of liberalism.

Speaker 125 It'll be private ownership with absolute government control.

Speaker 35 How do we grow this?

Speaker 121 Because, Chadwick, this is something that I have been

Speaker 120 working towards for a while and felt really alone for a long time.

Speaker 58 that there would be strange bedfellows, that we're not going to agree on everything.

Speaker 55 And we're going to come from the left and the right.

Speaker 67 And we're just going to stand for basic principles.

Speaker 114 And people will say, what principles do we have in common?

Speaker 11 We could start with just the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 62 And I don't think it's that hard.

Speaker 100 How do we empower the people on both sides that are afraid to come out?

Speaker 66 Because I've seen it on both sides.

Speaker 71 It's bad.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 You know,

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And I think that's what you see happening. I think there are tons of people like me who,

Speaker 125 you know,

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 It's someone who supports free people, free markets, free speech, free thought. And I think that is, nobody disagrees with that.

Speaker 125 So I think that you're right that that is the greatest weapon we have. And

Speaker 125 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

Speaker 125 their

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 They don't want to be this and that. I think most people in the media are terrified of these people too.

Speaker 125 But I think there's signs that that's no longer working. People see that Donald Trump isn't a white supremacist.

Speaker 125 So I think it's beginning to crack.

Speaker 125 And I think that you're right that the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, is the greatest weapon to unite the most

Speaker 125 patriotic and fair-minded people in this country.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 77 How do you argue with people who will say this to a

Speaker 95 Republican?

Speaker 88 They said it under George Bush, and they will say it again because of Donald Trump.

Speaker 86 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.

Speaker 16 What do you say to those people say

Speaker 49 well, where were you

Speaker 37 as a staunch constitutionalist when X, Y, or Z were happening?

Speaker 36 And you can say that to both sides.

Speaker 105 How do we tell people the past is the past and I'm sincere in standing with the Constitution?

Speaker 125 That's another quick question.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 And also at the time, I just felt I didn't have, it's strange because I've been on both sides now.

Speaker 125 I didn't feel I had a choice, especially when the religious right was in control of the Republican Party.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 I mean, Donald Trump's the first president to take office being

Speaker 125 for gay rights, Democrat or Republican. And so

Speaker 125 now that the culture has shifted so rapidly,

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 That's why Bernie would have won the nominee. He was a nationalist.
He was anti-establishment.

Speaker 125 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.

Speaker 125 So most people, I think, are on our side.

Speaker 125 And it's just the misbehavior of the establishment has finally reached a breaking point where people can actually come together.

Speaker 84 Chadwick, I'd love to talk to you some more.

Speaker 121 I think you're fascinating and extraordinarily brave, extraordinarily brave.

Speaker 95 And congratulations on

Speaker 61 sticking to your principles and come what may.

Speaker 58 It's a rare thing.

Speaker 125 The exact same to you, Glenn.

Speaker 125 Great admirer of yours.

Speaker 47 Thank you very much.

Speaker 86 Appreciate Appreciate it. We'll talk again.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 It's interesting to hear that

Speaker 99 happening.

Speaker 76 I'm telling you,

Speaker 84 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 63 Well,

Speaker 1 maybe I made a mistake. I didn't have all the information and now I do.

Speaker 22 Like

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 29 Yeah, like him a lot. Okay.

Speaker 23 You're listening. You're listening

Speaker 68 to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 23 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 11 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.

Speaker 88 There's a great story at Glennbeck.com right now about Russia and why.

Speaker 120 Why we'll never really be friends.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and, you know, a lot of it is

Speaker 1 really, first of all, Ivan Drago's in there, which is a

Speaker 50 well, I mean,

Speaker 21 we had to throw Ivan Drago in.

Speaker 58 Because they will never forgive us for that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 62 Like night and day.

Speaker 1 Night and day. And so it goes into all the details on that.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 71 It is the war against the land, the people of the land and the sea, as they call it.

Speaker 71 That's what they call their war against us.

Speaker 71 And read this.

Speaker 54 It's a great article, and you'll have some laughs, too.

Speaker 55 Only on Glenbeck.com.

Speaker 16 Now, there's something else that we we have to post on Glennbeck.com.

Speaker 59 Something that we noticed when

Speaker 110 Arnold Schwarzenegger

Speaker 74 left, when he said, As the La Vista baby,

Speaker 84 laugh, you bet.

Speaker 65 We all laugh.

Speaker 79 When he left, it was reported.

Speaker 18 When he left the Celebrity Apprentice, if you haven't heard.

Speaker 92 It was reported that he said, As the La Vista baby, literally on almost every local newscast.

Speaker 22 Listen.

Speaker 1 Well, Arnold Schwarzenegger has one thing to say to the apprentice television show and President Trump.

Speaker 129 Asta La Vista, baby.

Speaker 140 Yep, he's quitting. Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying,

Speaker 140 Dan.

Speaker 125 Come on.

Speaker 44 Hosta

Speaker 44 La Vida.

Speaker 140 Living La Vida Local.

Speaker 108 Hasta La Vista, baby.

Speaker 140 Yeah, he's saying that to NBC's celebrity apprentice. Arnold Schwarzenegger is saying hasta la vista to NBC's celebrity apprentice.

Speaker 140 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.

Speaker 1 Let's talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger because he has said hasta la vista to the new celebrity apprentice here on NBC.

Speaker 22 It's just unbelievable.

Speaker 24 And all of them said it.

Speaker 22 I love the small market ones who think it's hosta. Yeah.

Speaker 15 And they and they think it's funny.

Speaker 33 Each one of them thought it was funny. But he said, ha ha ha, hosta la vista.

Speaker 22 Hosta La Vista, baby.

Speaker 71 Oh, man, that was good stuff.

Speaker 10 Back in a minute.

Speaker 10 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 108 Mercury.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 10 You know, I want to talk about the new movie Get Out,

Speaker 86 Wolverine, or what's it called,

Speaker 95 Logan.

Speaker 65 I saw that this weekend.

Speaker 40 I will tell you also that

Speaker 123 we are it's absolutely un-American to not discuss what Ben Carson did yesterday before we

Speaker 22 sign off.

Speaker 86 So weird. I mean, I think that's a political,

Speaker 7 I think it's a citizen's responsibility to discuss what he said yesterday.

Speaker 26 That's impressive.

Speaker 25 And you wanted to bring up the ratings.

Speaker 70 Well, we talked about it.

Speaker 1 We just did the Asa La Vista thing with him leaving. And I know Trump and

Speaker 1 Schwarzenegger have gone back and forth. And I'm no fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger by any means.

Speaker 1 But the ratings argument is so weird with this because

Speaker 1 really his ratings actually weren't all that terrible for this show. They had, and when you think about it, going in,

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 26 So it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 And Arnold Schwarzenegger, why are you watching Arnold Schwarzenegger? I mean, Donald Trump was a businessman. Right.

Speaker 1 And Schwarzenegger makes no sense.

Speaker 39 Schwarzenegger's terrible. What are you going to do?

Speaker 26 Right.

Speaker 1 It was a terrible idea on every level.

Speaker 85 Right. But listen to the ratings.

Speaker 1 This is the Apprentice ratings on NBC. First year, the one where Bill Rancic won, $20.7 million average.
This is 2003.

Speaker 18 And keep in mind, that's when reality shows were huge.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 22 I mean, that is a number.

Speaker 22 These are down for everyone.

Speaker 1 Now, he always says he's number one.

Speaker 1 He's never been number one, but he was number seven that year.

Speaker 26 That's a real number.

Speaker 50 He was never number one? No. No.

Speaker 22 Donald Trump was never number one?

Speaker 1 No, I mean, like, maybe the finale hit number one. That week.

Speaker 22 I don't know. But never for the season.
For the season.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Next season was 14 million to 11 million from 15th to 38th place.

Speaker 18 So now we've been cut almost in half.

Speaker 1 Then we go 11 million to 9.7 million and we dropped from 38th to 51st place.

Speaker 18 55%.

Speaker 22 Wow. What was that?

Speaker 72 51st? 51st. Wow.

Speaker 1 Then we go 9.7 million to 7.5 million, and we drop from 51st to 75th place.

Speaker 36 So, what year was that the last year that he was on?

Speaker 1 That's the last year of the regular apprentice. Then they said, you know what, we need celebrity.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 85 The best year.

Speaker 39 of

Speaker 1 celebrity apprentice. So then it drops from 11 million to 9 million,

Speaker 1 48th to 52nd, then 9 million to 7.4 million,

Speaker 1 52nd to 59th.

Speaker 1 Then they go back to regular apprentice, and regular apprentice that year,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 28 And he's calling it number one. Right.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And they put up,

Speaker 1 I can't remember where I left. I had 7.1 million for

Speaker 1 73rd place. Then Trace Atkins, 5.6 million, 84th place.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 28 Now,

Speaker 1 Celebrity Apprentice with Arnold Schwarzinger finishes the entire season averaging 4.9 million.

Speaker 39 So

Speaker 1 bigger than the last year of The Apprentice.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 four years later, what Schwarzenegger puts up is 4.9.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 80 Can I tell you a story?

Speaker 99 We're doing these podcasts

Speaker 107 and they're coming out soon.

Speaker 120 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.

Speaker 84 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.

Speaker 76 I mean, I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 8 I understand Penn Jolette now, where I didn't.

Speaker 91 I always was wondering, how did you get here?

Speaker 90 How did this happen?

Speaker 91 How do you find your moral compass?

Speaker 21 All of this stuff.

Speaker 37 I found it when I think he was about eight years old.

Speaker 42 Something happened to him that was wildly humiliating that he did and his parents saw.

Speaker 12 And he was

Speaker 8 really humiliated.

Speaker 86 couldn't had a hard time looking at his parents. He was so humiliated.

Speaker 6 And it changed him and set him on the course that he's on now.

Speaker 80 But he came in and we were sitting down and,

Speaker 61 and I don't even know if this was, I think this is part of the interview.

Speaker 100 He was just talking about,

Speaker 121 you know,

Speaker 43 craziness of Trump and stuff.

Speaker 18 And he's like, look, because he was on Celebrity Apprentice.

Speaker 12 He was on the, when it was in 65th place or 64th place.

Speaker 47 And

Speaker 100 he said,

Speaker 16 he said, you know, I was on Celebrity Apprentice.

Speaker 84 So I know.

Speaker 42 And we talked about how Donald Trump claimed the money for a charity that actually pen raised.

Speaker 41 And I wrote a check to.

Speaker 70 I mean, I wrote a check to his charity, but then he gave it to the Celebrity Apprentice.

Speaker 86 And Donald Trump released that during the campaign as one of his charitable contributions.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, that was my money.

Speaker 56 But anyway.

Speaker 6 He said, and the most amazing thing, he said, I sat in a room.

Speaker 12 Now, this is the time when he's 61st, 60th place. I didn't know it was that low.

Speaker 60 I thought it was like, you know, fifth.

Speaker 86 I didn't realize it was that low and had been that low for a long time.

Speaker 61 He said they were sitting there, and it was him and maybe Trace.

Speaker 39 I don't remember who.

Speaker 58 And it was down to the two, the last two contestants.

Speaker 12 I think it was Trace Atkins.

Speaker 86 And they're sitting down and

Speaker 70 they're getting ready to do this satellite tour.

Speaker 78 And Donald Trump is with them.

Speaker 43 And the guy from NBC comes out and says, okay, listen,

Speaker 114 you talk about anything, but do not talk about the ratings.

Speaker 61 Ratings have not been good for quite some time.

Speaker 86 And Trump is there. Well,

Speaker 56 no, no.

Speaker 14 He's saying it.

Speaker 17 He said, I didn't realize they were saying it to Donald Trump.

Speaker 13 I thought they were saying it to all of us.

Speaker 17 He said, but as it turns out, they were saying it to Donald.

Speaker 1 Because he loves to talk about ratings.

Speaker 107 And he said, they said, do not talk about the ratings.

Speaker 114 You can talk about anything you want.

Speaker 86 Do not talk about the ratings.

Speaker 122 And Donald said, great.

Speaker 88 They go on the satellite tour and they're introduced and they say,

Speaker 80 you know, here from the celebrity apprentice is Donald Trump and Trace.

Speaker 22 And he said, he interrupts him and says, Listen, before we go on, I want you to know our ratings are huge.

Speaker 13 They're the biggest they've ever been.

Speaker 22 We're number one across the board.

Speaker 18 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 122 Trace and Penn looked at each other like, what the hell just happened?

Speaker 41 He doesn't care.

Speaker 37 He doesn't care.

Speaker 37 Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a loser,

Speaker 100 even though he had higher ratings than Donald Trump had in the last apprentice.

Speaker 33 He looks like a loser

Speaker 43 because Donald Trump is a master at just turning everything around.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 but a little bit better than the worst season of the regular apprentice and just a tick higher than ours.

Speaker 26 So that was not 67th.

Speaker 12 That was 84th. 84th.

Speaker 34 84th.

Speaker 24 So it was even worse.

Speaker 117 That is the worst ratings of the apprentice celebrity.

Speaker 71 Wow.

Speaker 18 I mean, you're pretty accomplished when you can claim you're number one when you're actually 84th.

Speaker 22 No, you know what? And have people believe it. Have people believe it.

Speaker 12 And is the interesting part.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 16 And I think it's just because he rode that.

Speaker 18 No wonder the guy's president.

Speaker 35 I think people rode that so long with him as it's just fun.

Speaker 77 I mean, he's just Donald Trump.

Speaker 107 That's just Donald being Donald.

Speaker 25 Well, I don't know.

Speaker 64 And so by not calling him out and calling him like sociopathic about the lies,

Speaker 26 instead, the media just was like, ah, it's Donald Trump.

Speaker 12 Of course he's going to say that.

Speaker 1 At least for a while, until he got the nomination.

Speaker 13 Until he got the nomination.

Speaker 5 But I mean for the last 30 years.

Speaker 86 I don't mean the last 90 or 90,

Speaker 95 you know, a year and a half.

Speaker 61 I mean in the last 30 years.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you know, but I mean, and this is not exclusive to Republicans by any means. It's the same treatment Joe Biden gets.

Speaker 22 Yes. It was the same thing.

Speaker 1 It was the same treatment. Everyone was like, you know, and is he just a joke?

Speaker 21 It's just Joe being Joe.

Speaker 115 No, Joe is touching women.

Speaker 13 There's a problem there.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Occasionally he says TV was invented in the 1400s.

Speaker 1 It's Joe Biden. Give him a break.

Speaker 85 And everyone's like, oh, oh, okay.

Speaker 71 I guess we're supposed to ignore it.

Speaker 78 Very strange.

Speaker 52 Some,

Speaker 57 I hope this isn't happening with Ben Carson, but

Speaker 8 I don't understand Ben Carson.

Speaker 6 Ben Carson is obviously a brilliant man.

Speaker 83 Brilliant.

Speaker 5 He is smart enough to do the homework. He's smart enough to figure things out.

Speaker 18 Well, he certainly knows better than this.

Speaker 1 Does he? He has to.

Speaker 127 Does he?

Speaker 77 He has to.

Speaker 127 How can you possibly say this?

Speaker 18 I don't know.

Speaker 26 Do you have the audio or you just have the...

Speaker 18 No, just because it was a speech to the employees of the agency.

Speaker 71 Listen to this.

Speaker 18 He was talking about America and what a great land of opportunity it is.

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 72 Okay, stop.

Speaker 32 i don't think i've ever heard people who were kidnapped chained chained forced into the bottom of the ship called

Speaker 28 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.

Speaker 18 In the bottom of the slave ship, that's what they're thinking.

Speaker 34 They were probably thinking, can I go home?

Speaker 22 Yeah, how do I get home?

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 5 They were thinking, how can I get away from this god-forsaken land that enslaves us so I could get back home?

Speaker 91 That's what they were thinking.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 22 Unbelievable.

Speaker 38 This vacation lasted too long.

Speaker 39 I've got to get back home.

Speaker 81 Hey, they were working hard, too.

Speaker 34 They were working hard, just like the immigrants today.

Speaker 21 Not for very much money.

Speaker 22 Yeah, like

Speaker 18 none.

Speaker 32 Like zero.

Speaker 28 What?

Speaker 18 If he was a a white guy, he'd be out of office already. He'd be done already.

Speaker 17 Can I say something, honestly?

Speaker 12 I have serious issues with his

Speaker 66 ability to reason at times. Yeah.

Speaker 37 I mean, he's obviously a smart guy.

Speaker 75 Does he have zero?

Speaker 14 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?

Speaker 59 You don't say that?

Speaker 66 No, no, no.

Speaker 107 Don't you have common sense enough to know that's that's not true?

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 we've seen that we've had this before where we go into interviews and your instinct as

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's not your job to give someone who's interviewing you good material.

Speaker 22 That is not your gig.

Speaker 45 It's almost time to say Asta La Vista to Ben Carson.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 52 No, no, right.

Speaker 22 Like, I'm not even asking.

Speaker 115 If you're not struggling through tough times, you're a slave.

Speaker 14 Right.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But he doesn't, and this is why he's not president of the United States, by the way.

Speaker 22 One of the reasons

Speaker 1 he's incapable of finding when he has this problem.

Speaker 37 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.

Speaker 14 He was practically sleeping on stage when the country was watching.

Speaker 41 So he's not the guy who's like, I'm looking for a joke. Anybody got a joke?
