3/6/17 - Full Show

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Okay, so Trump took to Twitter over the weekend and said, the evidence is overwhelming.

They have wiretapped my phones at Trump Tower.

This is during the election.

Comey,

who was with the FBI, remember who the Republicans hated,

then they loved.

Now I think they're back to hating him again.

And the Democrats loved him, then hated him.

He's back to being the love child of the Democrats.

He said this is nonsense.

The FBI needs to dismiss it and dismiss it quickly.

You know, the fact that everybody keeps switching sides on Comey says to me he may be the only man in America with any kind of credibility.

He calls them as he sees them.

I don't know.

Either that or he's just a fantastic game player and almost a psycho at that.

We have the evidence that supposedly is overwhelming, plus

a story that I found and I brought to the boys just a few minutes ago.

And

none of us will ever, no, sorry, Stu strangely will.

None of us want to ever get into a pool ever again.

We have to begin there right now.

I will make a stand, i will raise my voice i will hold your hand because we are one

i will be my drum

i have made my choice we will overcome because we are one the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glen beck program

okay all right we're gonna get to the we're gonna get to the uh news of the day

but

I have to start here.

Scientists have now confirmed the worst fears about pee in pool, and I believe that it is worse than your worst fears, at least mine.

One in five Americans say they pee in the pool.

Even Michael Phelps says everyone does it.

Well,

no, it's 80% said they didn't.

Yeah,

I don't.

Yeah, you do.

No, I don't.

Okay.

Jeffy, you pee in the pool?

Oh, my gosh.

He pees in the pool.

We have bathrooms actually now, Jeffy.

Yeah.

Have you

peed in the pool before?

In my life?

I mean, probably

a kid.

Yeah.

I remember they said about the red ring that went around you.

And that freaked me out.

I've never peed in the pool because I've always thought about that red ring.

And I believed that.

Everybody used to say that, and I would just say, no, it didn't.

Yeah.

Right.

So you're saying you might have a little bit of a ball.

That's like a dare.

Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Okay.

Scientists have figured out a way to quantify how much urine is in our pool.

I warn you,

you are

not going to like this.

Research team tested 31 pools and hot tubs and found evidence in urine in every single one of them.

On average,

there were eight gallons of urine in a 110-gallon, gallon, 110,000 gallon pool and 18 and a half gallons of urine in a 220,000 gallon pool.

No.

The hot tubs, hold on,

they found

the hot tubs in hotels

found to have three times.

the urine level of the worst swimming pool.

That makes sense.

It's just because it's so much less water, right?

Percentage-wise, you're going to have a bad.

And you're also

drinking and relaxing and other things.

And I don't want to know what happens in hotel hot tubs.

Luckily, it's at a very high temperature.

So hopefully it's maybe, I don't know, killing all the bacteria.

Or growing

it too.

I'm not sure.

But I can't imagine now putting my head, especially in a hot tub.

I've never done a hot tub at a hotel.

Have you guys ever done a hotel hot tub?

Tons of times.

Yes.

I'm a fan.

I'm a big hot tub fan.

I don't like tons of people.

I'm not experienced from there.

I can't believe you because you won't drink out of a regular glass.

You have to have a plastic cup.

But it's not really a germ thing.

And B, it's not about germs.

So it's some other skeeve thing for a business.

Yes.

What is the skeeve thing there?

No, go ahead.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

I don't mind explaining it, but

we're getting off the exit here of the show.

you want to get off the exit of the show to explain my knowledge lines what is the skeevi i don't know how to i basically i don't like i don't like

come on i don't like like uh glasses for example if you have a glass and it goes through and it gets washed and sometimes there's food that gets caked on the inside or little pieces of food i don't like drinking liquids and getting solids but you can see

yeah

sometimes you can crappy restaurants are you at where there's food caked on the inside of the glass?

I mean, it happens sometimes.

Well, it does.

But sometimes when you get four.

It happens a lot less than people peeing in pools.

You open up your mouth.

You're swimming in your...

Well, first of all, I don't drink pool water.

I don't drink it either, but it gets into your mouth.

It gets in your face.

I don't also go up to a

big,

for instance,

I'm not a cowboy, so I'm not going to go up to the spring, the little, the the big, huge, I don't even know what you call it, a big, huge tub where my cows or my horses are drinking and just wash my face in it because it's got cow slobber in it.

Okay, that's not people.

I guess that, because we all, I think we can all recognize that there's not an actual effect to either of these things.

Like a piece of food in my cup doesn't do anything.

Having pee in a pool, well, millions of people are swimming every day and not dying from the pool.

It's the thought of it.

It's a mental thing that doesn't actually make it anything.

No, that's not what's killing all of us.

Maybe it is.

Hey, that's true.

It's all.

I'm with you, Saturday.

That's true.

I mean,

it's the irony.

Here's how, this is how I heard this story.

I read this story over the weekend, and this is how I heard this story.

80% of the water in your pool is peanut.

And that's why, by the way, they didn't use percent.

Yeah, they used 18 gallons to make it sound like, holy crap, I've been bathing in 18 gallons of urine.

And that's in an Olympic-sized pool.

Right, here's 220,000 gallons.

An Olympic size is 660,000 gallons.

Yes, we've done some science on this.

All right.

So here is the percentage of urine in the pool that they're talking about.

88%.

This is a scare article, remember?

68%.

Zero.0.

Hundreds.

Eight.

Eight thousandths of a percent.

Okay, so yeah, eight thousandths of a percent.

Still, and by the way, don't mean that.

And by the way, let me add on this one little fact here.

Urine is 95%

water.

Thank you.

Okay, so there is something.

It's that 5% that I don't like.

It's that 5% that makes me never want to be in some place like Somalia, having to drink my or somebody else's urine.

And I get it.

It's again, I think it's more in your head.

And the reason why the stupid glass thing bothers me and this doesn't is it's detectable, right?

It's that detectable that there's 0.00.

It's even worse.

You don't know how much urine is getting in your eyes all the time.

Yes, you do.

0.00.

You just swam right then into like a whole concentration of P

you wouldn't know.

You wouldn't know.

Intersection of the pool will never be the same for me.

But the you wouldn't know it is a positive to me.

I don't want to know it.

Yes, we all know that this stuff, like it's the whole hot dogs thing, right?

Where the hot dogs have a certain percentage of like weird feet or whatever the hell are in there.

Like, everyone knows that there's bugs and there's rats and everything else in these things.

There's a certain small difference.

They're okay with it, but it doesn't do anything.

That's why you have Hebrew national.

Rabbis got to make sure those know there's no feet in those

beak.

Yeah,

I want a rabbi.

I want a rabbi with my sausage.

That's what I want.

we could talk about all the political stories today but this is the one that makes the difference no i'm this is the one that's this is the one that i'll be living all spring and summer can i ask a serious question i have a saline pool a saltwater pool oh okay

do i have chlorine i don't do i do that 95 urine yeah right

so they don't put chlorine in it

and that's probably what they would say that the chlorine helps kill any of the

does the salt help kill the things i don't know i don't know i think a pool person will I'm going to take the chemicals out and then all the bacteria is just growing.

Just like a giant, you know.

No, there's no bacteria that grows in it.

No.

And I think it's just because the salt killed, like the Dead Sea, right?

Nothing can grow in it.

The Dead Sea has a little extra salt.

All I know is.

That Morton's girl is going to be at the diving board

all summer long, just pouring salt.

All right.

When we come back, I want to talk to you about

the president came out and tweeted that they're trumping or they're they're um

wiretapping my phones at trump tower

um

and

what to think of this mark levin came out and built a compelling case i think we're talking about the wrong thing

uh myself

but we'll get into that here in just a second first let me um tell you about our sponsor this half hour sponsor this half hour is lifelock

Did you know that your

phone's charging cord can transmit data?

Charging?

Well, the cord itself is the same cord, but you're saying when it's plugged into the power source?

Scammers know this.

They're hoping that you'll plug into a compromised public charging port, airports, conference centers, or parks.

It's known as juice hacking.

Wow.

It allows thieves to access personal data when you recharge your device in a public area.

Oh, I've used those airport ones a bunch of times.

That's

terrifying.

Yeah.

None.

Okay.

Identity theft is America's fastest growing crime, and there are things that the hackers know that we don't even know.

If Lifelock detects that your information is being used, because they scan hundreds of millions of transactions every second, they're going to send you alert.

If you have a problem, a U.S.

base agent will work to fix it for you.

Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions, et cetera, et cetera, but Life Lock is the best identity theft protection available.

Unbelievable.

Welcome to the program.

So let's go to

Donald Trump and his tweet.

First of all, let me preface it with this.

Let's see what shakes out in this.

There have been a lot of accusations of a lot of things.

For instance, voter fraud, and there would be an investigation, but there is no investigation that is going on, and that we've pretty much moved on from.

I fear that the president

could be engaging in

things that are

that will position him as the little boy who cried wolf.

And when he needs to be believed, will he be believed?

That's one section.

Second section, we shouldn't be surprised that they are wiretapping his phone.

Now, I don't know if they are or not, but I believe we are arguing the wrong thing.

We all know that this power was happening

and this very exact same thing was happening to journalists under Barack Obama.

And it will happen under Donald Trump.

Not because Donald Trump is evil, but because Donald Trump can.

It happened under Barack Obama because he can.

Why can he?

Because of the Patriot Act, because of the FISA courts, because of the fact that you only need an inkling.

You know, I've got this feeling, Your Honor.

You don't need to have real hard evidence.

Otherwise, you wouldn't go to a FISA court.

All you need is an inkling.

Now,

should it come as a surprise to us that they were listening to the Russians?

No.

That they're tapping the Russian embassy?

No.

Weren't we doing that in the 80s?

Weren't we doing that in the 50s?

We were trying to.

Now we can.

We're listening to Angela Merkel's phone.

You don't think we're listening to Vladimir Putin's phone or the allies around him?

Of course we are.

And because of FISA, as long as we can tap theirs and they're making contact, the Patriot Act tells me I can now tap their phones too.

Let's be consistent.

Let's not make this about Donald Trump.

Let's not make this about Barack Obama.

Because that's what we did last time and we didn't win because then it only becomes about the person.

Let's not make it about the person.

Let's make it about the idea.

Wiretapping of American citizens without evidence is wrong.

If they have evidence and they can go to a regular judge, then they should.

We know that they went to two FISA courts.

Well,

so

why are we surprised?

Why are we surprised by any of this?

From The Guardian, John McCain passes dossier alleging secret Trump-Russia contacts to the FBI.

From McClatchkey, FBI, five other agencies probe possible covert Kremlin aid to Trump.

These are during the election.

Intercepted Russian communications, part of inquiry into Trump associates, New York Times.

NSA gets more latitude to share intercepted communications.

New York Times.

Flynn is said to have talked to Russians about sanctions before Trump took office.

New York Times.

Obama administration rushed to preserve evidence of Russian election hacking.

New York Times.

Inquiry on Trump aides includes intercepted Russian data from the Boston Globe.

Of course they were listening.

This is not a news story.

I mean, the question, obviously, the way Trump put it was they hacked my phones, right?

Likely what happened is they were monitoring Russians.

uh that wound up coming in contact with people in his campaign.

If it went further than that, we'll see evidence of it.

We already know that part of it, right?

Like, as you just pointed out, there's 25,000 stories out there about that.

We know that.

And, you know, I think Rubio honestly had the best take on this, which is, you know, look, we got to see the evidence.

If Trump has evidence, he'll present it.

And if it's really bad, we'll go after it.

If it's not, then we won't.

There is no reason for us to be arguing about this.

None.

None whatsoever.

The guy who made the accusation is the President of the United States of America.

And if the President of the United States of America, the most powerful man in the world, cannot get access to his own agencies, which his own people head up now,

and say, I want to see the evidence of what you guys were doing.

If he can't get that, then we're lost anyway.

We might as well shut the whole damn government down.

I think what you can expect is the best possible case with the most unbelievable information you could ever have.

to prove if this is true or not.

Yes.

Because he has access to everything.

So he's the president of the United States.

So he will make make a great case, I'm sure,

if he has the information.

Or if he doesn't, and people are saying, oh, well, he's just trying to distract from his issues.

Well, then we won't get nothing out of it.

Right.

But I mean,

must we sit here and obsess about every twist and turn over these things?

You know, because the president tweeted something, must we sit here and devote every minute of this show to trying to parse every single claim from either side?

If this is real, we're going to get a huge investigation.

It's going to be a massive story, and we'll get all the information eventually.

But must we sit here and obsess about every twist and turn over it?

I'm much more interested in the pee in the pool.

Well, I am more interested in making the case that the Patriot Act and these FISA courts should never be part of the...

That's a great point.

Again, it's a principle instead of an everyday twist and turn.

I mean,

let's not talk about Trump.

Let's accept Trump at his word.

Right.

Because we know that it was happening with Barack Obama's administration.

And

and journalists, and they didn't seem to care.

Fox News journalists, but

they don't care this time.

Only Fox cares this time.

They didn't seem to care.

Everybody just kind of moved on when it was just the journalists.

Now the only reason why they care is because the right media is protecting the president and the left media is trying to bring down the president.

So they've made a huge issue

into

an issue about people instead of the idea that we should not be wiretapping in secret courts.

Period.

And regardless of

whether it happened with Barack Obama, let's just say, I mean, first of all, we don't know if it did yet.

We don't have all the information.

But let's say it did happen with Barack Obama or it didn't.

The bottom line is it could.

happen with whatever president.

If you're a Democrat right now and you're saying, absolutely not, this is a crazy accusation.

you should instead attack the principle so Donald Trump doesn't do it to you in two years.

Yes.

Side with the idea that you should have privacy as an individual, and these powers shouldn't be solely in the hands of the president to do whatever he wants with this.

Consent courts.

Someone's going to want to attack you with it eventually.

Get rid of it now while you're pissed off.

If it wasn't the last president and it's not this president, it may be the next president.

But somebody nefarious is going to say, well, I have this tool.

Let's just use this.

Back in a minute.

Mercury.

This is the Glenbeck program.

So let me let me explain.

Let me go back to the the idea with

the FISA courts possibly saying, yes, you can monitor the people, Paul Manafort, in the Trump campaign, and then that's spreading.

This is something that we talked about for a very long time.

We've talked about it for the last eight years.

You don't want that kind of power of the Patriot Act in the hands of any president.

When we talked to the people who were in the intelligence community that had tried to blow the whistle to the American people under George W.

Bush and then found themselves to be hunted, literally hunted as outcasts and possible lawbreakers for alerting the American people, nobody paid attention under George W.

Bush.

Then we paid attention under Barack Obama.

And I asked those guys, why,

how how do we end this?

And they all said, if you remember the episode, all of them said, we never will.

We'll never, we'll never end it.

Because

whoever is in, they'll say, well, I need this power.

I have to have this power.

And I believe we're seeing that with the people, which is worse than the president.

We're seeing it with the people.

We should not be arguing about Donald Trump being wiretapped.

Instead, the right should be saying, these these laws exist to allow this to happen.

They need to be changed.

Whether it happened or not, these laws need to be changed.

But we don't

because now we like to have that power for our president.

We just don't like it used by another president.

Let me give you an example.

This is from CNN.

He's instructed the Department of Homeland Security to reinterpret the laws on immigration and start building the border wall, the State Department to reinterpret visas and refugees.

The HHS to reinterpret aspects of Obamacare.

The EPA could be next.

And President Trump has done it all without any real input from Congress, which, despite Republican majorities in both houses, must still move methodically and therefore is stagnant.

That's nothing particular new in Washington.

To the victor to a presidential election go the spoils of controlling the executive branch, which decides how exactly to execute the nation's laws.

But the impact of Trump's actions, Colf could pull the thread of immigration and immigrants woven into the fabric of American society.

Yes, Trump could change the fabric of the United States without changing any of its laws.

Sorry, what?

We're going to fundamentally transform what?

And that was not a problem for him then.

Not a problem.

And he directly said it.

Correct.

And that still wasn't a problem.

And they're not even making the case here that they need to restrict the power of the presidency.

They're just saying, our guy is out.

We have to stop this guy from doing it.

And think of how misused the Patriot Act has been.

We've never used it for terrorism.

Up until

the last time I saw the statistic a couple of years ago, it was like the FISA court had been used

like 85% of the time for drugs.

It's used to stop drug dealing and now apparently monitor people in presidential campaigns.

It's not being used for terrorism and that's what it was set up for.

It will never

get worse.

Yeah.

You know, President Trump said, this is Nixon.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

It's much worse than Nixon.

Oh, yeah.

And Mr.

Trump, I urge you.

Then to, instead of just making this into a political bout between you and Obama, I urge you then to lead the way and say, I'm removing, I'm doing everything I can.

Congress must act to remove these laws so no president, no one in Congress, no one would have the power to go to a secret court with a hunch.

Right.

Can we too look at this from the perspective of the Democrats love this because they think it makes Trump look like this unhinged guy who makes accusations with no evidence.

And so they love this part.

The establishment Republicans love this because, look, we can talk about this instead of talking about doing the crap we put them there to do.

Get rid of Obamacare.

It's the same game we played under Obama.

Lower the tax.

We haven't talked about health care since Friday since his stuff broke.

And so here we are, and I'm concerned that, because this is, obviously, Trump likes this back and forth.

It's where he's great.

You know,

he loves getting in the middle of these messes.

He is great at storyline.

Yeah.

And so controlling the storyline.

But

don't we want the storyline to be Obamacare, taxes, things like that?

So

is this going to set us off on this long?

Because I mean, yes, can they do multiple things?

Sure.

But if the focus of the government is on trying to prove a president was hacking another president in an election, by the way, the second president won.

It's not like he lost because of this.

He actually won.

Is it important if he did it?

Absolutely.

And it should be investigated.

But the focus should be on things that need to get done now.

Because if we sit here and go through six months of investigations to try to prove that X, Y, or Z did X, Y, or Z, then we're campaigning for next year.

Then we're campaigning for next year.

And every Republican is going to say, look, I can't vote on this now because it's too close to the elections.

We got to get these things done.

And every piece of news seems to, and you're telling me the media isn't playing this game, seems to distract us from these goals of getting these actual giant programs put into some sort of order.

Every single thing is about some personality thing.

It's about some media conflict.

All of that does zilch for the actual American people.

And if we don't get these things done now,

it's going to go the other way.

We're going to run out of time.

You're not going to have too long to do these things.

It doesn't do anything for, but it does a lot to the American people.

Who was the person that came out this weekend?

Hang on if I have it.

That said, you know, we, you know, hey, it's time to march.

And, you know, in the past, there's been blood and death in the streets.

Loretta Lynch.

Yeah.

Loretta Lynch.

Loretta Lynch.

Listen to this.

I know it's a time of concern for people who see our rights being assailed, being trampled on, and even being rolled back.

Which rights are those that have been assailed, trampled on, and rolled back.

Why would you say that, Pat?

Why would you say that?

Because that's exactly what they said in the very beginning of the Bush administration.

No, no, no, no.

That's what they said to us.

And they said it to us during the Obama During the Obama.

Yes.

We would say.

Our rights.

What rights?

Be specific.

What rights?

Right.

Right.

And frankly,

we were hard-pressed to name the specifics because we knew there were violations.

We knew that they were misusing their power.

But it was really hard to point to any one thing and say, well, look, they've made it so we can't talk.

We can't go to church.

We can't.

IRS?

IRS.

IRS.

That's a great one.

And we have the

freedom of press.

Right.

The wiretapping of the press, we know.

All the prosecutions of the journalists under Obama, which was more than all other presidents could be done.

Combined.

How about the I want your church to deliver all of its sermons about homosexuality?

Oh, yeah, in Houston.

Right.

You know, there are three big ones.

Huge.

Aren't all three of those in the First Amendment?

So we just got to the First Amendment.

amendment well certainly there's no violations of the second

i mean they seen me right

taking away taking away every person who is a social security uh that had what was it that that had somebody else picking up their check if you didn't go and pick up your check in person or cash your check in person you lost your right to guns Now, they just overturned that.

That was one of the last things he did.

And he just took that through executive order and took it.

Which is great.

Good question.

Listen to that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But there's more.

I know that this is difficult, but I remind you that this has never been easy.

We have always had to work to move this country forward to achieve the great ideals of our founding fathers.

And it has been people.

Play one more line.

Individuals who have banded together, ordinary people who simply saw what needed to be done and came together and supported those ideals.

Isn't that exactly exactly what the Tea Party did?

Yes.

Yes.

Isn't it just simple?

And they condemn them as violent

racists.

Crazies.

We call it.

This is not going to be easy.

We have no heritage of doing this.

But it is time for good people to stand up and say, no, this is not who we are.

And stand up peacefully.

And that was deemed we were anti-government.

And it was the last thing in the world any of us wanted to do.

Because we don't do that.

We don't do it.

We all have jobs unlike the left.

Okay, so first,

first,

she says our rights are being trampled.

And it would be very easy for us to say, what rights?

Yeah.

Just like they did.

Just like they did.

But that's not helpful.

Then,

but it is fun.

It is fun.

I will say that.

Then she says it's just ordinary people.

And we could say, oh, like us?

Yeah.

probably shouldn't say that but it is fun

and then the third one who have made the difference they've marched they've bled yes some of them have died this is hard every good thing is we have done this before we can do this again She's

saying that you might have to bleed and die on the streets for it.

Is she calling for violence?

Right.

Is that too much of a stretch?

I'll tell you, that's a lot less less of a stretch than

we're targeting this district.

Yes.

A lot less.

That's for sure.

Yeah.

I mean, I see that.

And they have

the left

has the heritage of doing that.

It was the Weather Underground that was the left.

It was Malcolm X that was the left.

I mean, it was the Black Panthers that were the left.

So help us out.

Half of these people are marching in Che Guevara t-shirts.

Yes.

Which was the left.

Right.

right i mean it's it's so very clear and again we could spend time talking about that

and it feels good

yeah it does does but it's not helpful pat and i had an argument about something uh this morning at like six o'clock we both get in and we had a we had a heated argument about something and what ended the argument was what are we doing?

What are we doing right now at the time that is the most important of our or anyone's lifetime?

In our particular case, Pat and I believe that in our lifetime, Jesus might come back.

If you believe that,

what are we doing?

What are we doing arguing about little things?

For instance, I had a discussion with somebody over the

last week

about the Bible.

And they were talking about, well, are you really Bible believing?

I'm like, oh my gosh.

I don't know.

I don't know because I don't know how you define if I'm Bible believing, but okay.

And this individual who I really, really like, really like,

she said, you're a better person than I am because

you

have found a way to love people who are in error.

Now, okay, all right, I got it.

I got it.

Now,

let's look at what the point of the Bible is.

Is the point of the Bible that we're all supposed to go on church on Sunday?

No.

Is the point of the Bible that we're all supposed to

receive sacrament in a certain way?

No.

Is the point of the Bible what?

The point of the Bible is, you find it in John, I think, 15,

where it talks about God loves you,

and

God loved his son, and his son came down, I'm wildly paraphrasing, his

son came down, and he loved us just like the Father loved him.

And now we're supposed to do it.

Well,

and that is the whole point of the New Testament.

Correct.

We're supposed to love like God loved his son.

He loved us.

We're supposed to love whom?

Those in error.

The whole point of the Bible, that we're bashing each other.

Fact beyond those in error are enemies.

And enemies.

We're supposed to love everybody.

So anything that we're not doing, anytime that we are creating, especially at this time,

real contention, and I don't mean that you don't correct error.

You do correct error.

But you don't

you don't do it gleefully.

You don't do it with a sense of vengeance.

We're supposed to love each other.

And unfortunately, I don't hear that message anywhere.

I think we owe it to the audience, the backstory of the argument.

There was one donut left.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And now this.

England, Dan, and John Ford Coley did have the answer.

Love is the answer.

Thank you for that 1970s reference.

I appreciate it.

And now this.

Pro Flowers has come out with the ultimate solution.

John Ford Coley.

Oh, huge.

England Dan and John Ford Cole Cole.

Shut up.

They were huge.

Pro Flowers has come out with the ultimate.

Can I please get through the ultimate solution to ensure you remember the dates that matter?

For instance, your wife's birthday.

When is it, Stu?

May 20th.

Your anniversary?

October 18th.

Your mom's birthday?

September 24th.

Wow.

Nice.

Nice.

How do we know those dates are actually scheduled?

Pro Flowers has just launched their brand new Pro Gifter service.

I love this.

It is the easiest fail-proof way to never forget an event and look awesome all year.

The Pro Gifter Service

allows you to schedule three bouquet deliveries, same or different, to three different addresses.

to up to one year in advance.

So I want to remember my mom's birthday, my wife's birthday, anniversary.

They have it taken care of.

One phone call.

Do it now.

This is

the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck program.

I'm going to take Roger from Nebraska.

roger go ahead buddy hey thanks slim for all you do thank you sir back in the back in the benghazi days does anybody remember a a cbs reporter named cheryl atkins atkinson yes

yep who had who had a mission impossible style scenario in her apartment where somebody came in there and set up a wireless wi-fi you're exact roger you are exactly right thanks for your call this is why we have to make sure the argument is about the patriot act and spying

No wireless,

I mean, wiretapping from FISA cords.

We got to stop it.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

I'm reading something that

we have shared before on the air, but I wanted to share the moral foundations theory in a different way.

It is always frustrating to, for instance, last week during the State of the Union, when the president said, you know, we want you to come in here merit-based.

And we said at the time,

why do the Democrats, why do they boo or hiss or why do they not clap for merit?

How can you be against merit?

I want to explain this, and I think it's an important distinction.

Also, I think we need to have a,

I think we are approaching a time of the Bill Clinton blue dress.

If we're not careful,

The Monica Lewinsky story in a different way, I believe, may be playing out right now.

It's time for all of us to be on record.

And we begin there right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Pat and I,

Pat and I had a pretty serious argument this morning.

That's the most serious argument we've had in a long time, isn't it?

It's been a while, yeah.

And I'm happy to say, 20 minutes, not even that, 10 minutes after, Pat walked in and

continued to argue, and I told him I forgive him.

But Pat walked in, and we both at the same time looked at each other and said, I love you and I respect you and I'm sorry.

But that's something that comes from a friendship that has been tried and true since 1989.

Yeah.

It illustrates how difficult our task is between right and left because we don't have that relationship with most people on the left, certainly not Nancy Pelosi's of the world.

And so

it's really tough to get beyond that.

Right.

Really?

And so we were not having a conversation between about right and left today.

We were having something a little more personal.

And do you mind if we share it later on in the show?

Who won the argument?

Well, I did, of course.

I'm going to let him say that.

Oh, wait, now you're...

No, no, no, because, you know, he needs that to feel good.

We'll talk about it here

in a little while as it plays into a couple of things.

First, let's start with Donald Trump and the wiretapping.

We were talking about it last hour, and I want to share something that I think is really important because

major game players,

we are pawns in a massive political game.

We think that we're in charge.

We think that we

are

up to speed on everything and that we matter.

I'm not convinced that we really do all that much until we act in a way that they don't understand, that Washington isn't expecting.

For instance, the Tea Party.

That was conservatives acting in a way they have never acted ever before, and they didn't know what to do with it.

Right now, the left is reaching out, and Hillary Clinton says

disruption is what we do best.

Marches, what we do best.

So you're being used by the, or

you're at least playing in to what the Democratic Party wants you to do if you're marching.

Now, it may be the right thing to do.

It may not be.

That's up to you to decide.

But you're in playing the game with them.

You're on the same side.

The Tea Party became that in the last few years, that it was kind of co-opted by the GOP.

Evidence, and this is the way

staffers on the Hill are treating Reintz Priebus.

Remember, Reinz Priebus was a worthless piece of skin.

Remember, anybody remember that?

Reinz Priebus to tea partiers was horrible.

Now on the Hill, Reinz Priebus is being treated as if he is the president of the United States.

They are actually treating him on the hill.

They're not even going to Trump.

They're going to Reintz.

Reince has gone from the worst guy ever

to really, in some ways, the acting president.

And nobody said anything.

How did that happen?

By pitting people against each other, by

a carefully crafted narrative,

those things can change.

And because of loyalty.

Now,

let me bring you to Monica Lewinsky.

What happened at the beginning of the Monica Lewinsky story?

Matt Drudge broke a story.

And

those of us who saw Bill Clinton's character in 92 and were bothered by it, but forgave him and said, you know what, if his wife has forgiven him, then who are we to say?

But we all knew, at least Pat and I talked about it on the air at the time, that, okay, this guy is, he's a dirtbag.

But

everybody

makes a mistake.

And if he's made, I don't care how many mistakes he's made in the past.

If he has solved it with his wife and with God, it's none of our business until the next time.

So when Monica Lewinsky happened,

we felt it's clearly true.

And what happened?

The right said it was true, and the left said, no, it's not.

And we argued for eight months.

Happened?

No, it didn't.

Yes, it did.

No, it didn't.

Yes, it did.

No, it didn't.

Yes, it did.

Yes, it did.

Well, yes, it did, but it doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

And it was over.

I told you

that

Trump was playing a game with the intelligence community.

And the intelligence community was going to teach him a lesson, right?

That when he started picking on the intelligence community, it was a game he was going to lose.

Well, he's just changed the seating at the table.

I explained to you, if you pick a fight with the intelligence community, A, you better be right.

and you also better know that because of prism and everything else they have all of the information they need especially if it's outside of the country they're watching they they can get all of the phone calls they need anywhere in the world so when trump said my people aren't doing this and this is just the intelligence community I said at the time, if it's true,

they will come out with some some evidence.

Well, what did they do?

They came out with some evidence and said, here's what the intelligence community believes is true.

And somebody else came out with a bunch of stuff that wasn't true.

And I said,

if he doesn't stop swinging at them,

they're going to come out with the transcript or they're going to come out with the tapes.

Do you notice this weekend, he didn't swing at the intelligence community?

He swung at Barack Obama.

Why?

Why has he been building this case that this is an out-of-control intelligence community?

And now all of a sudden, he's saying it was an out-of-control president

who was using the intelligence community

because he knows he cannot win against the intelligence community.

But you don't have to win

against Barack Obama.

You're feeding your own people red meat.

And by feeding your own people red meat, and by the way, I happen to believe that they were spying on Donald Trump.

And the only reason I have to believe that is

All of the press accounts during the election said there were investigations going on.

So why wouldn't they be listening to the Russians?

And if the Russians were calling Trump tower, yes, they would be having that too.

It's called the Patriot Act.

It's called the FISA courts.

Two times FISA courts ruled that they can do this.

Of course they're doing this.

It's why we said no to FISA courts and that we should not renew.

In fact, we should repeal the Patriot Act.

Why else would I believe that the president would do that?

Well, because he did that to reporters, and nobody seemed to care then.

So I happen to believe that what Trump said is true, that they were spying on him.

But not the intelligence community this time.

The targets moved to Obama.

So now we've supercharged the argument.

We've gotten away from principles, and we've gotten away from something that the American people generally on both sides trust the intelligence community.

Now we've polarized it and made it about two people, Obama or Trump.

And so now if the intelligence community would come out and if somebody would leak an audio tape It's my contention that in

the next few, let's say a month goes by or God forbid eight months go by and they have the tapes of Paul Manafort and others, you will have the right saying, it doesn't matter

because it will have been fought by the troops, us

versus them.

It will be fought by the troops as left or right, Obama or Trump.

Which one do you believe?

Which one are you for?

And so no matter which side proves, let's say we prove that Obama was spying.

It won't matter to the people on the left.

Let's say they prove that, yes, he was spying, but Donald Trump's people were saying bad things to the Russians or anything to the Russians.

Won't matter to the right.

No, he didn't.

Yes, he did.

No, he didn't.

Yes, he did.

Oh, yes, he did.

Doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

Yes, it does.

No, it doesn't.

Except this time, we'll both be playing it doesn't matter.

And it will only, it will discredit what really happened and the original argument.

The original argument was, here is the most powerful man in the world, Bill Clinton, preying on a 19-year-old intern.

and having sex and doing awful things in the Oval Office.

That was the original premise.

But after eight months, it became, well, it's a personal issue between him and his wife.

Let's remember the original premise.

And there's two.

Should any president have the power to be able to wiretap anybody's phone through a FISA court?

If you have a hunch, you bring it to a FISA court.

If you have evidence, you bring it to a real court.

FISA courts should be abolished along with the Patriot Act.

That's premise number one.

Should a president be able to have access to the, or anyone, access to a secret court where you don't have to

present evidence?

Just a hunch.

Answer: No.

Two,

should any president and or his surrogates be speaking to the Russians during an election, and I don't mean Jeff Sessions speaking to an ambassador, unless those conversations veered into something as and he became a Trump surrogate,

then that's wrong.

Should they have conversations with Russians and take information or quite honestly even encourage the Russians to go look for more?

The answer is no.

It's time for all of us to go on to record right now

on those two issues.

Should a presidential candidate be colluding with the Russians?

Nope.

Should the United States government be able to go to a secret court on a hunch and wiretap your phones and spy on you?

Nope.

Those are the ideas.

Those are the things that large minds will talk about.

Small minds will make it about Trump versus Obama.

And the same thing goes to Democrats about Obama.

If the evidence comes out that he did tap these phones.

Will it matter?

Will it matter?

It should.

Should.

And so.

That's why I say those two things.

It won't matter to the left and it won't matter to the right.

And what, so then what happens?

You just ratchet it up that we're both enemies when we're not talking about principles.

Small minds talk about people.

Average minds talk about events.

Large minds take and talk about ideas.

The idea,

twofold.

Should a candidate be talking to a foreign government that is hostile to us during an election?

No.

Should we have secret courts where you don't really have to present real evidence that wouldn't be accepted in a regular court for wiretaps that can spread to other people?

Answer, no.

Sponsor, this half hour is

My Patriot Supply.

I don't know if you've seen the stock market lately, breaking new records, right?

I had a a friend

that

said, you know, Glenn, I think we're headed for a melt-up.

Have you ever heard of a melt-up?

It's an actual economic term.

No, no.

Melt-up happens right before a meltdown.

It's when everybody realizes that things are really not tied to principles anymore, but I can make money.

And so they dump money into the markets and the market goes hog wild.

Okay.

Happened right before the Great Depression.

Market went through the roof on no principles.

Then it crashed.

That's a melt-up to a meltdown.

He said, I think we're in a meltup.

We might be,

but we are definitely heading for one.

I don't know if there's any room left to grow, but I mean, as he wrote, I could see the Dow at 40,000 because what's driving it?

Now the banks are taking low interest rate money from the Fed, and what are they doing?

They're investing it directly into the stock market.

That's not good.

We

could be headed for 1929-1933.

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

What happens when things don't go as you have planned?

I want you to call MyPatriot Supply, get their four-week survival food supply for only $99, breakfast, lunch, and dinners for an entire month.

Glenn Beck Program.

Triple 8727 back.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Welcome to the program.

So glad that you are, so glad that you're here.

You know, the, the, um,

um,

the

everything that we say now

is taken taken and run with, even though it may not be the way we feel.

What I just said a few minutes ago is going to be interpreted

five different ways.

And

some people who listen to the program will say, Glenn's anti-Trump.

Some people who heard that same exact monologue will say, there he goes, excusing Trump.

It doesn't matter anymore

because emotions are in charge.

And so no one can

actually speak to you

because of emotions.

It's hard.

It's really hard.

Pat and I were talking today and we were talking about religion.

And

I have a real problem.

My spirituality is really good.

My connection with God and my testimony is rock solid.

But my problem with religion is deep right now.

And

here we are two best friends.

Of the same religion.

Of the same religion.

And we were at each other's throats.

At each other's throats.

And I mean in a bad, really bad way.

He walked out of the room and I thought, how are we going to do today's show?

Luckily, because we're good friends, we solved it and we're fine with each other.

But I want to take you through that exercise, not about that topic.

Next.

The Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Did you see the latest from Ford?

The

van that

a self-driving that makes almost instant deliveries with the van and then launches drones from the van, all self-driving.

It's phenomenal.

It's a giant truck.

I'll have to show you the video.

It's a giant van, a Ford van, all self-driving.

So it's just a crate with wheels.

And

you can call up the grocery store and say, I want these groceries.

So the grocery store will have one of those vans.

They put your order together, put it in the van.

The van drives around town to deliver.

It's self-driving.

You don't have to be home.

A shelf pops out.

It's your box of groceries.

A drone is launched from the top of the van.

It picks the box up, flies it to your doorway.

And

it showed the future, if you live in an apartment complex, that it will either drop it on your porch or there will be a shelf for deliveries for

outside your window.

I saw the present for the UPS trucks and stuff.

I don't know that I saw the Ford one, but it's really cool how the big, how the roof opens up where the drone sits.

Yeah.

You know, then the packages fly off.

Yeah.

It closes really cool.

I mean, it's amazing what's happening.

We'll talk about this coming up in just a second.

I want to talk a little bit about our argument.

And,

you know,

Pat

was, you know, he came close to calling me, you know,

a name, and I came close to

sharing my name.

Wow, no, he did.

I didn't call you a name.

And I came very close to forgiving him and wishing him blessings

throughout his life, no matter what his perspective.

That's the way I remember it.

Well, you seem like the better person here.

Glad I was going to say that.

I know it comes off that way.

I don't mean it to, Stu.

I really don't.

Okay, so basically we were having a conversation where, if I may sum up, Pat, and feel free to correct me.

The summary is that we were,

I was trying to talk about language

and Pat was trying to talk about

substance, if you will.

And we got to the very end of the conversation and I said, Pat,

I don't disagree with you on any of the substance.

I'm not talking to you about substance, I'm talking to you about language.

But it was such an emotional topic.

Is that right?

Yes, Pat?

So it was such an emotional conversation for the two of us that I was protecting myself and my point of view on something, and I felt under attack.

And I think Pat was protecting his views and

protecting what he holds dear, and he felt under attack.

And so neither one of us were going to make any inroad at all.

At all.

And here we are, best friends who, do you believe, Pat, that we believe the same things?

Yes.

Yes.

So

here we are, two people who believe the same thing.

but are approaching it in a different way.

And

we can't, our emotions got so hot, we we almost

lesser friends would have walked away and said, you know what, I'm done with him.

Or simply acquaintances.

Oh, acquaintances, you would have been done.

I hate this guy.

Yeah.

I hate this guy.

It took real control for both of us to watch our language on what we said to each other because our relationship was important.

And then to come back together and both of us apologized at exactly the same time.

That's not happening in real life with people you just know.

No.

Right.

And it's certainly not happening on the internet where this stuff really gets heated and really causes bad feelings.

The internet, when you're not looking somebody in the face, you can say all kinds of things to them.

And it has no effect on you at the time because you can't see their reaction.

Correct.

So this brings me to

The Righteous Mind, a book that I'm reading, The Righteous Mind, Why Good People Are Divided by by Politics and Religion.

And I want you to read this.

I want you to read this book.

It's really good.

And to me, it is one of the only things that provide

with a way to

understand

some of the stuff that I'm talking about and some of the stuff that is causing such great confusion with people.

Because I refuse to play the game anymore.

Because the game,

the only way to win is to not play the game

the game will end up the same way over and over and over again with us fighting for a personality and we got to stop that but our language is so different and this is actually what our argument was about this morning was language of religion not the principles the language of the religion.

And I was talking to Pat about how in our faith we talk about the atonement

and how in,

let's say, a Baptist faith, they will talk about being washed clean in the blood of Jesus.

Now,

my faith finds that language weird

and

a little off-putting.

Atonement

to a Baptist, and I hate to speak for Baptists, but seems a little cold and distant and does that mean the same thing as being washed clean yeah it means exactly the same thing

but we

we separate and this is a small example we separate into groups the more things like that in politics and religion where you just use different language it separates you and you think you're not you think you're against each other and you're not against each other you're saying the same thing you just don't realize it.

I'm going to read this from this book.

Moral Foundations Theory can now explain one of the great puzzles that has preoccupied Democrats in recent years.

Why do rural and working class Americans generally vote Republican when it is the Democratic Party that wants to redistribute more money more evenly?

Now, Democrats can't figure out why is it that coal miners and everybody else, they'll say, you're voting against your own interest.

We're going to redistribute the wealth.

We're going to take it from the rich and give it.

Because they see that as fairness and justice.

Well, here's the problem.

From the perspective of the moral foundation theory, rural and working class voters were in fact voting for their moral interest.

They don't want to eat at the true test taste test restaurant.

They don't want their nation to devote itself primarily to the care of victims and the pursuit of social justice.

So, now let me explain this, and I'm going to use extremes.

So, I'm not, I'm going to use absolutes, but I understand these aren't absolutes.

The left sees the victim very clearly,

and it doesn't necessarily matter to them how the victim got there.

It's just that it's a victim, and they see the victim, and they want their care part of them,

their kindness, their empathy, that focuses them on the victim.

Gross generalization, another gross generalization.

The right

sees the problem

and they see someone, the same person they'll say, well, but that's a welfare mom who has eight kids.

and is just getting checks from the government.

It doesn't want to work.

Gross generalization.

The right,

according to studies, the right actually sees the victim as well, but it is less

of that.

Okay?

It's more of the welfare mom

with mixed in victimhood.

The left generally only sees the victim.

and then sees people who say things like that

as

oppressors.

You're only victimizing them again.

And so sets it apart.

They're not able to separate the victim from some of the causes

because victimhood drives them.

And they feel like I'm going to help the oppressor,

I mean, I'm going to help the victim by hurting the oppressor and taking money from the oppressor and giving it to the victim.

What they miss is

fairness is not equated the same way.

The left doesn't see fairness the way we see fairness.

I don't even like the word fairness generally because it seems to imply something else to the left.

And it does.

Fairness implies redistribution of wealth.

But what to the rest of the country, what fairness means is

Let me say it this way first.

To the rest of the country, fairness means merit.

You got to work an honest day for an honest dollar.

If you want to make it, you've got to put it all in.

Through your merit, you'll succeed.

Now, we all know that that's not universally true.

That leads the left to dismiss the idea of merit.

Because it's not universally true, and it leads to victims of the oppressor, etc., etc.

We want fairness.

The way to make it fair is to take the money from.

But the rest of the country adds something else in.

They don't like people who are cheaters.

They don't like to be cheated.

They don't like to be ripped off.

And so the right

also focuses on merit.

I don't want anybody to rip you off.

So if you're getting something you don't deserve,

I want it to go to the people who deserve it, the people who work hard.

Hard work, code language for the left.

They don't like that because that says oppressor victimhood again.

So we have to change our language to be able to reach out to more people.

We don't say merit.

We don't say hard work.

We say karma.

Now, I don't say karma because I don't believe in karma.

I believe in merit and hard work.

I believe

justice happens at the end of life.

But the left generally believes in karma.

You get what you deserve.

But they have never tied that to victimhood and to

into

justice

and

fairness.

of

victims.

And so that's the piece that they're missing.

And

if we can change our language to be able to say,

I understand what you're saying by fairness.

And you're right.

Not everybody can make it.

And that small number, those are the ones that we can help out.

We have to also look at karma

and see that, yeah, there's a lot of people that get what they deserve.

Both the big guys and the little guys.

You want to be the karma for everyone else.

You want to be the punish.

I'll punish the rich because they deserve it.

And I will reward the victim.

But that's not worked out by us.

Because that's not the way the regular people see it at this point.

It's a very fascinating

theory, and he is not interpreting it.

The writer is not interpreting it the same way I am.

He's left with no way out, no way out,

because he just did the study to figure out why we're not talking to each other.

But I'm convinced that once we know why we're not talking to each other,

we can find our way back to each other because we're really not saying that much different.

Generally speaking,

I'm not talking about the extremes on either end.

Blinds.com.

It's March, which means spring is almost here.

I'm going to do this spring.

I'm going to do what my mother did.

We're going to take everything out of our house this spring.

I haven't told my wife that.

She's going to go out of her mind.

We're painting the house, the inside of the house.

And

so everything's coming off the walls, and everything's being put into the center of the rooms.

And I want to take everything out of the house.

My mother used to do that for spring cleaning.

And

we hated it as kids, but now I appreciate it.

Good hard work.

Anyway,

you can start your spring cleaning a little easier than that.

You can do what Tanya and I did and go to blinds.com.

Blinds.com.

You can get shades, shutters, drapes, blinds, any kind of window covering that you can think of.

And the site is massive, easy to navigate.

But if you don't know exactly what you want to get, Blinds.com makes it really easy.

You can get an interior designer, Skype with you, FaceTime with you, on the phone with you.

You can just email them pictures of your house and they'll email recommendations back to you.

And honestly, which one of us found that they said, no, you know what, this one's more expensive?

Was that Stu?

Found that it was more expensive, the one they they liked, and they said, you know what, this one's just as good and it's less expensive.

Starting tomorrow in an exclusive serial on the Glenbeck program, you'll learn about the craziest elections in American history.

Listen live or online at Glenn Beck.com slash serials.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

888-727 Beck.

So Glenn, when you're talking, you know, when we're talking about changing language for the left to try to bring them along for this ride, and you use words like karma,

How do we do that when, like, I don't relate to that word.

We say things like merit.

We say things like merit and hard work.

Or if you're progressive or you're from the left, you might look at that more as karma.

You get what you deserve and then go on.

You know who your audience is first, but then expand it and use the language of the left so they understand.

Oh, I see what you're talking about.

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Some areas of the country were down to 60%

in teenagers thinking that they need to get a driver's driver's license.

The world is changing.

The sands are shifting right underneath our feet and we don't even notice because we're all talking about politics.

And we have to stop the train

on the politics track today.

Mika this morning on MSNBC says she has lost all hope.

She had an open mind, but her mind is now closed.

This is a failed president and a failed presidency.

It's been a month, I know.

And

well, that's not reasonable?

No.

Oh.

I'd say no.

Call me crazy, but I'd say that's the first time.

Well, we started warning.

Remember, the tea party took off in about March.

Was it that quick?

Yeah, it was.

It was the end of March.

Oh, so never mind.

Yeah, I mean,

it was the same thing.

They're following the same thing.

Well, that's because they were already threatening health care.

A complete overhaul of our health care system.

Well, yeah, they had already knew it would be a disaster, and it has been.

They would argue that we are threatening their little health care accomplishments the same way.

Yeah.

True.

But look, I mean, you have to see what he does, right?

It has to be based on evidence.

Well, that's what they said to us.

But again,

but again,

she apparently was crying on the air today.

And she said, just, this is really bad.

It's not funny.

Just for the record, we're all really nervous.

So if people feel nervous too, we do too.

We don't think this is funny.

We're at a low point of American history.

And I don't know how anyone can defend this president, even if it's their job.

Wow, I want to play something for you that sounds very reminiscent

right now.

I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand.

Cause we are one,

I will beat my drum.

I have made my choice, we will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

All right, so Mika comes out and she was crying today.

And she said, this isn't funny.

What's going on is very, very serious.

And all of us are nervous here.

And if you're nervous as well,

you know, then you know what we're feeling.

You're not alone.

As I read those words, I thought to myself, wow.

So three months in,

she is having a meltdown where she is crying on the air because it's serious.

Now, let me show you when this happened to someone else.

And the only audio I could find of it

has the mocking behind it that you will hear.

But see if you recognize this.

I'm sorry.

I just love my country.

They're coming to take me away.

They're coming to take me away.

Ho ho, hee hee, ha haha, to the funny farm where life is beautiful.

Anybody remember?

Sure do.

Remember it well.

So that was my 9-12 broadcast or 9-year 9-12 broadcast.

You were worried for the country.

And you got emotional.

I started and I said, look, I'm just worried for my country.

And they still play that today.

They still play that today.

Oh, yeah.

And

that clip is Glenn Beck is unhinged.

Okay?

Right?

And it's been seen a few times on youtube i mean here is so it was and there's there's lots of other clips that that one is along with but

it's amazing isn't it

it's amazing it's brutal okay so it's brutal now

am i going to treat mika the way mika treated me

and

you're not but me still jeffy are yeah

we most definitely are

So what yeah, I know.

So wait, so what happens?

What happens, besides us feeling really good, what happens?

What happens?

We make a really good point.

We make a really good point.

You guys are hypocrites.

Right.

Right.

And then I just bask in that all day.

Right.

And I think, right, we nailed it.

And how does that change anything?

It doesn't.

Because that's what they were doing.

They were like, you didn't care about you didn't care about

Medicare,

prescription drugs.

Except we did.

Some of us did.

Not all of us did, but some of us did.

They can make that case again.

We're about to do all kinds of wonderful things to Obamacare and just slap our name on it and be fine with it, thanks to Paul Ryan.

So, you know, they can look at us and say, you were hypocrites back then, and they did.

And they didn't take us seriously that we were.

Instead, they mocked us and ridiculed.

And

what happens if you short-circuit the system and you reach out to mika and say mika

i understand i understand i understand exactly how you feel i've been there remember you guys mocked me right and i don't want to mock you

i want to say that's exactly how many of us felt And the reason why we're in the situation we're in is because we were were mocked and ridiculed.

I don't want to mock and ridicule you because I don't want to make the situation worse.

Can you see the error of what you did?

Because I can see the errors of the things I did.

Can you see the error of what you did?

And now is there a way to come together?

We may not agree on the president.

We may not agree on policies, but a way to ratchet this down and stand on principles.

What are the principles that you're afraid of?

I'm guessing when it comes to health care, I can't help you on that.

But she had this rant because she's afraid of the

alt-right.

Well, so am I.

She's afraid of,

she's afraid of

some of Steve Bannon's

tendency.

So am I.

She is afraid of the wiretapping.

So am I.

She's afraid of people just saying things that aren't true.

So am I.

Welcome to that party, by the way.

So am I.

Now, where can we connect to try to diffuse?

Because if we don't diffuse it, if we do to them what they did to us,

We put them in the position four or eight years later where they're so mad, they'll find someone else who can put us in our place.

Because honestly, that's what I heard from a lot of people.

He's just going to make this stop.

He's not afraid of the press.

They won't beat him.

Well, that was our problem with Barack Obama.

Nobody could beat him.

Nobody could hold his feet to the fire.

Well,

we know that Donald Trump has done some things that no other politician could have ever survived.

Doesn't seem like anyone can hold his feet to the fire.

They will find someone that will do that.

So the pendulum swings back the other way.

I would like it to swing back softer, quite honestly.

I'd like for when they come in charge, it's not so vitriolic.

What do you say?

And it will be up to us to do it.

Pat has the Mika stuff?

Yeah, here's the clip this morning.

Because this is not funny.

This is really bad.

Just for the record, we're all really nervous.

So if people out there feel nervous, we do too.

We don't think this is funny.

That is phenomenal.

That is...

So ironic.

It is.

There's almost not words to express the irony there, the hypocrisy there.

I, wow, are you listening to yourself?

No self-awareness either.

No self-awareness.

Wow.

It is so funny because I see this.

I see this totally different.

And maybe because it happened to me.

Everybody else, you watched that play out

on me.

Yeah.

I'm the one it played out on.

You know what I mean?

Different perspectives.

I have a different perspective.

I'm unique on all of those jokes and all of the tearing down of me

because it was me

I have such compassion for Mika

because I know what people are going to say

and when you say will they I don't I don't know that they will I mean if anybody's gonna do it it's left with us you think the the left will mock I mean I'm sorry sorry sorry not the left the right the right will maybe

the left will leave

some yeah the right left me alone yeah well for the most part yeah

for the most part i mean there will be some that will attempt to make you not so new unique after today

but it is

yes blindness to themselves yeah but i think an opportunity to show the blindness i think an opportunity that it if if it is done the right way

you say thank goodness Mika, you're here.

Now you understand why we said you can't give the president this much power.

You're here.

Why we said you have got to abide by the Constitution.

And we were afraid just like you are.

And you may dismiss

my fears.

And I could dismiss your fears, but let's not dismiss each other's feelings and the way to solve those feelings.

Those are real.

Your fears, I could look at them and say, well, that's not going to happen.

That's not going to happen.

That's not going to happen.

Just like you looked at mine and said, that's not going to happen.

Forget the logic of it.

Let's talk about the feelings of it because that's what the left likes to talk about.

Let's talk about the feelings of it.

The only thing that will make those feelings go away.

is a return to the constitutional principles.

That's it.

That's it.

You have Mike Pence in.

You impeach this guy.

You You got Mike Pence.

I guarantee you're going to have a problem with Mike Pence too.

Might not be the same fears, but you're not going to like him all that much.

I bet you dislike him a lot more in policy.

I bet you would.

I bet you would.

So the way to make those fears go away is to return to the Constitution.

And that's an easy case to make.

Instead of...

hypocrisy, no self-awareness, which we all know.

We don't have to say, you imagine if somebody would have done that on the right, I did it.

Well, and this is the thing.

We constantly look back at these moments of hypocrisy, which happen all the time, and say, do you believe the left?

They were on this side of it last time, and they're on the opposite side this time.

And that's a legitimate observation to make, and it's obviously part of talk radio's job to make it.

However, what's typically ignored out of that equation is, well, the right was on one side of it back then and is now on the opposite side of it too.

Now,

the point is, if you have principle and it's what you're saying here, you have a chance to be on the right side of it both times.

Yeah.

Now, I don't know if Mika is the kind of person that wants to be on the constitutionally principled side.

Well, she mentioned the Constitution for one of the few times I can ever remember hearing her mention it in the context of this discussion.

She actually mentioned the Constitution.

We'll get there.

Because the Constitution.

Absolutely.

She got there.

But you know what?

How many times are you hearing the Constitution used by the right now?

It was our mantra.

Yep.

But this is...

Constitution, Constitution.

It's not Constitution, Constitution now.

No, no, it's not.

Get it done.

This is not, and this is the important part, I think, your point you're making on multiple different issues today.

Locking in a win on the argument is meaningless because later on,

both sides are going to switch again, and everyone's going to violate what they said earlier.

It happens all the time.

It's something to notice, but not to focus on.

If you had principled people who can say, hey,

you know what, left, we agree that the government is too powerful, that the federal, that the executive branch is too powerful.

You have a chance to lock that in with their essentially BS agreement with you that is brand new and is not about principle.

But you have a chance.

If you have enough people who say, you know what, for next time, I want this.

I want to lock this lack of power in.

You have a chance to shrink shrink these things now when they hate Donald Trump.

It might not be legitimate at all.

They're concerns about Donald Trump, but we all agree as conservatives that we want the federal government to be less powerful no matter who is president.

So take that opportunity now.

The progressives in the Republican Party do not.

I agree.

And that's why our argument with Congress should remain the same.

You have Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz all saying, you've got to scrap Obamacare and start from the beginning.

Now, Now, that's what we all agreed to.

That's what we all agreed to.

It was passed in the House and the Senate.

Passed in the House and the Senate.

Couldn't be passed under,

couldn't be signed by Barack Obama.

When they knew

they couldn't do it, they passed it.

And now that they have a chance to do it, they're all hemming and hauling.

It's incredible.

What's the problem?

What's the problem here?

It's always the same game with Barack Obama.

It's always the same game.

But it's the same game, obviously, with the Democrats, because look at where they are.

They should be for many of the things Barack Obama is, or I mean, Donald Trump is doing.

Oh, yeah.

They should be for.

You kidding me?

You should go in and help him pass health care because it's going to include daycare and everything else.

Or the infrastructure spending.

I mean, a trillion dollars.

A trillion dollars.

That's more than Obama could get through.

That's a dream for them.

And I'm surprised they're not seeing that.

I'm glad they're not seeing that.

I am too, but it shows that it's about tribes.

It's about teams.

And, you know, the Yankees aren't going to root for the Red Sox no matter what the Red Sox.

I mean, could be wrong, maybe giving them too much credit.

I think they actually do see that, but they don't think that they can make, they want to make more money for election time.

And being for Donald Trump and these things, they can't have somebody else's team score.

Right.

Because I don't think their fans

understand

the score of another team.

I think that's the same point.

They see the teams as the election scorecard, and that's all.

But again, I want to win elections to do things.

Like, I don't want to win elections just to say I won elections.

Who the hell cares about that?

I do because one would mean there's an R, and the other one would be a D, and I like R better.

Oh, okay.

Well, that's a good point.

You guys haven't

considered that.

R is way better than D.

Way better.

It's way further down in the alphabet.

It's more mature.

I mean, it's just, it's a bigger letter, really, than D.

It's got more to it.

Well, D,

it's more fun to say.

What's better to say?

R or D?

D sounds nasty.

And D sounds bad because you got those bad grades in school.

There were D's.

Thanks.

Did you ever have an R on your head?

I never had a card.

No.

That would be really good.

No bad D.

D's are bad.

Now, this: Simply Safe has one of the most talked-about innovations to keep your home and family safe.

It's their new security camera.

The camera connects to sensors in your alarm system, which is

fantastic because if somebody moves, somebody opens a window, glass breaks or something, the camera turns on.

Were you the one that read all up about this, Stu?

And it has the lens cap.

Yeah, it has a lens cap on it, which is kind of cool.

Because a lot of people worry about having cameras in their house on all the time, who can hack into them or whatever.

Obviously, they have a lot of security to stop that anyway, but they also have a physical shield over the camera.

So unless it's motion activated,

it's not going to be peering into your home.

And not motion-activated activated like you walked in, but glass breaked or

glass was broken or a window.

It gives you less footage to have to go through if something does go wrong and you have to watch the footage, which I love because I've had to go through hours and hours and hours and hours of footage wondering what happened and when.

When did this happen in your life?

I didn't know.

Do you have somebody break into your house?

Well, we thought so.

And so we've

about a year ago?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you were wrong?

Like you were this morning.

Anyway.

good thing you were the better man on that.

The Glenn Glenn Beck Beck Program.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

We are one.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

Hello, you sick twisted freak.

You guys are obsessed with Alex Jones.

I mean,

he's probably the funniest thing in our society.

I mean, that's, think about that as a statement.

It's a major one.

It's a big one.

He's the thing that probably makes me laugh harder than anything in our society.

People are calling him an advisor to the president.

He's not, right?

I mean, according to him, he

talks to him often.

I mean, and we know for a fact they've talked.

We just don't know how often they talk.

According to Jones, they talk all the time.

So officially, no, he's not

certainly not an official advisor.

Although, you know, for example, Roger Stone, who was an advisor for Trump for a long time, and everyone obviously knows that they still have a close relationship, is, my understanding, the fill-in host for Alex Jones.

I've never actually heard him do the show, but I read that in an article recently.

He's the fill-in host.

He's like, that's how close they are.

He's on the show all the time.

Wow.

And is the fill-in host for Alex Jones.

And he's obviously a close advisor to the president.

They make really no secret about that, though they have an official distance at some point.

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

So, anyway, uh, he,

I guess it was Weiss that noticed something interesting about Alex Jones.

That's a good

making me laugh.

Weiss noticed an interesting pattern with Alex Jones, and uh,

the patterns do have been frothing at the mouth since the beginning of the show to be able to play it back.

Uh, so we'll go there next.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glen Beck Program.

We're just talking about spending.

And you can't, we're going to get the Alex Jones thing here in a second.

You can't cut spending now because we've stopped,

we've turned off the spigots at the Federal Reserve.

So the Federal Reserve's not making cheap money.

So you have to replace it with something.

And if you don't want quantitative easing, then you have to spend.

That's why the president is going to spend on the stimulus package and everything else.

This is a deal that is born in economics with the Federal Reserve.

You have to have a stimulus.

You don't want quantitative easing, good.

Then spend it elsewhere, but you have to spend the money.

And you're talking about replacing it with something also on the Obamacare front.

Mulvaney, who is one of Trump's best appointments.

I mean, it's an excellent appointment.

He was on today on Hugh Hewitt's radio show talking about whether they were going to vote to repeal Obamacare and pretty much explicitly said the reason they will not just repeal it.

The president does not want it repealed.

He wants it repealed and replaced only.

So they will not vote on repealing it, at least not now.

You never know.

That could change.

He said, I mean, that's consistent with what he said.

Yeah.

He was out front with us.

Yeah.

There's nothing, nothing against Donald Trump.

Anybody who is disappointed by that, I mean, he told you what he was going to do.

People just didn't believe him, but he said that's what he was going to do.

He was up front about the healthcare stuff.

And I think, you know, and that's not, it's not necessarily bad.

Obviously, if the replacement is a big improvement of

Obamacare or does something much better and helps people, that's fine.

The question is, can you get that done in time?

Because as we get closer and closer to next year, there's going to be a lot of excuses out there and it's going to be hard to get done.

I'd rather get it repealed and then have the pressure being on, you know, approving parts of these things, or not parts of Obamacare necessarily, but things that are positive for healthcare, get those done, and it'll be an accomplishment to tout during the actual re-election campaign for all these guys.

Instead, they want to make it

get the repeal out of the way now.

They're going to say that it's going to be too close to the election to do anything.

That's coming soon.

Ben in Missouri, you're on the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, how's it going, Glenn?

How are you?

Good.

How are you?

Wonderful.

Hey,

I love your show, and I usually agree with you, but I think you're actually missing a point of you

talk of

if we meet up with the left and explain shared values and principles.

Okay, hang on just a second.

Hang on just a second.

I want to make sure that you understand.

I'm not talking about the extremes of left or right.

I'm talking about your common sense Democrats, and I'm not even talking about the people in Washington, D.C.

I'm talking about can we find reasonable people on the left and the right?

Are there any reasonable people left?

Do you consider yourself reasonable?

I do, except you would

probably view me as

a very far right.

Oh, why would you say that?

Because I am actually based in principles of taxation and and um

and freedom and freedom where the left are

they aren't looking at how you reach a goal they're looking at how you get to the goal no matter what and where you and i

we

we look at how we reach a goal ethically yeah they look at how you reach a goal.

So I don't think, I doubt, Ben, I don't know all of your policies, but if that was your blanket statement of why I would disagree with you, I don't disagree with you

at all.

I am all freedom.

I am all for the laws and the Constitution.

We were just having a conversation off air that if I were president of the United States, I would go on television, my first cast, and I'd say, you must limit my power.

You must limit my power.

And you must limit the power of the Supreme Court and the power of the Constitution.

Period.

Power of the Constitution.

I mean, a power of the Congress.

Okay.

Congress and the power of the Supreme Court and the presidency.

Get us out of your lives.

Get us out of your life.

And you have the opportunity right now.

Put that bill on my desk and I will sign it.

You imagine how popular that would be.

Oh, my God.

I don't know.

You propose that in term limits?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I think it'd be.

Yeah, the people it would be.

And we know term limits is, you know, 80% type approval rating stuff.

That's not just left and right or one side or the other.

It's all everybody.

Everybody supports that.

Again, I know there's some people, oh, well, term limits are elections.

I got it.

I got your arguments.

I've heard them and considered them.

The point is that

talking about just politically,

it's an overwhelmingly popular thing to say, I mean, why do we remember George Washington so positively?

Many reasons, but one of it is he limited his own power.

He had the chance to get more power, and he said, you know what, I don't want it.

And we look back at him as an American hero partially because of that.

And it's going to take a new Washington to be able to do that.

Ben, I thank you very much for your phone call.

The second thing you might do as president is to mandate that all radio shows must play at least one clip of Alex Jones per day.

Right.

Just one.

Just.

Just one.

Just one.

Well, at least.

One.

Yeah.

You can't.

More if you want, but at least one.

So this is a theory that Weiss was working on, that he's really not sorry when he says, I'm sorry.

What?

And they took all of his explosions, which happened quite frequently, and they found a pattern.

Listen, we're going to beat your ass.

You just get that through your stinking traitorous heads.

Excuse me, I apologize.

I only have a lot of Christian affiliates.

I am a Christian, but I will stomp your head in if you start a fight with me, you thug scum.

Anyways, excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

Bunch of cowards.

Excuse me.

I'm going to control myself right now.

She is a demon damn to hell.

Excuse me.

I've been trying to control myself, trying to be professional about this.

But at a certain point, I just am just really getting pissed.

Excuse me.

We're not going to have Pepsi with baby flavoring in it.

I mean, what the hell have we become?

Excuse me.

I didn't have a liberal from New York in the bathroom.

I couldn't wipe my ass.

Excuse me.

There's more.

Have you seen this baby flavoring?

Baby-flavored peps.

We're not going to have it.

He's,

doesn't that go to the Bohemian Grove thing that the elites are eating babies?

I'm not sure.

Gold-plated babies, right?

I'm not sure.

I wasn't there long enough for the gold-plating of the babies.

Because I think you'd want to flavor.

If you're going to consume a baby, you want to flavor it in another way, right?

Like

the flavor I'm looking for.

But that's what I'm saying.

But I guess, again, if it cuts down on the taste of baby, right?

Like, you want to go, you, I could understand Pepsi-flavored babies.

I can't understand baby-flavored Pepsi.

Pepsi is the better flavor.

I would assume.

I mean, I've never eaten a child.

So

the menu should shut up.

Thank you.

Until you meet your child.

Or in this case,

drunk a child.

I don't want to hear that.

You don't want to hear about it.

I mean,

is there any doubt he's seriously disturbed and needs help?

I don't know is there any more clips maybe we can prove it

i don't know you know that's a good point there there might be some more of it i don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin' frogs gay

serious crap

i'm in control now

ridiculous sick

scum

filth

it's over for the globalist

conditioning Now

there's a legitimate TV.

There was another one of the examples.

But this is one of our new favorites.

It's like some type of interdimensional blight or succubus has like attached itself to

people.

And it's like either they're demon-possessed or they aren't.

Right.

Right.

Obviously.

And that's what it is.

It's what it is.

I've talked to a lot of top psychologists, a lot of top PhDs, or even atheists, and they said, listen,

you study enough, you look enough, enough, you get into situations enough, you'll run into people that are clearly possessed and who even know information about you.

You've never told them, and they're not guessing.

Something else is coming through them.

Something else is coming through them.

Something.

I'm not sure what it is, but something is trying to suck your bush or something.

I've really tried to say.

What the context of that?

There's no context.

I don't know what to do with this.

None of these things work.

It's so weird.

Even in context.

No, they really don't.

And folks, that's what this is.

I don't care.

The media makes fun of me.

I don't care what they say.

No one ever cared.

I'm telling you, folks, I look out at the crowds.

I see the people.

They are possessed by something.

I don't know what it is.

Most of the planet.

Why do you guys mock that?

Are you telling me he doesn't look out into his crowd and see a group of possessed people?

That's a good point.

Do you know the actual conspiracy theory that exists that

speculates that he is actually Bill Hicks, the comedian that...

So Bill Hicks is a comedian who was on the opposite side of all these issues and died at 32 because of cancer.

And the theory is that, and they look similar.

Like they look like...

I mean, it looks like an older Alex Jones could be Bill Hicks today.

And the theory is that Bill Hicks faked his own death, I believe, if I'm understanding the theory right.

Faked his own death.

And has come back to mock the world as Alex Jones.

So none of this is real.

This is an Andy Kaufman.

Andy Kaufman level.

And it would be the greatest bit of all time.

What did Bill Hicks sound like?

I don't know.

Go see if you can find a clip of Bill Hicks.

We'll come back here in a second.

We are told the digital economy would only be positive for us.

Some tripwires on that one.

Number one,

privacy.

Cashless transactions would always include some middleman, a third party.

If you have a national bank,

a true national bank, the Federal Reserve is now the bank.

Can they track everything?

Somebody is going to track absolutely everywhere you go, everything you do.

Government has increased access to personal transactions and records.

Certain types of transactions, like gambling, could be barred or frozen by government.

This is what we're talking about when we're talking about the

cashless or digital society.

And it's coming.

I told you today,

we're now down in the 60s of number of teenagers that want to drive a car, that are going to get their driver's license.

They say, why would I waste all that time learning to drive?

I'm not going to need it.

I can call Uber and

beyond that, Tesla is coming out and all the cars will be this way, that you'll be able to rent your car out.

I won't need to buy a car.

Somebody's going to have a Tesla around me, and I can call for that Tesla when they're at work.

This is the new generation thinks differently.

They don't like cash.

So this is bound to happen.

I want you to call Goldline today and ask for their updated free cashless society risk report.

Read their important risk information and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

Again, call Goldline, get the report, 866-465-3546.

That's 866 Gold Line.

866 Goldline or Goldline.com.

You're listening to the Glenbeck program.

This is the Glen Beck program.

And

to feel what the children are feeling.

Folks, we got it.

We got income people to stand up against these people.

That's right.

So funny.

That is unreal.

That is one of the greatest moments in the history of broadcast of any kind.

Internet, radio, television, it doesn't matter.

One of the greatest moments in all of broadcast history.

Just got a note in from Aaron Watson.

I want to share the numbers with you.

Aaron Watson is a country artist.

We had, was it last week we had him on?

Yep.

He said it was a huge week.

Record sales over the last two years overall in the industry were down 44% for major labels.

Our sales are up year to year over 48%.

Good.

We were the number one selling album in

America last week.

However, the charts now figure in streaming.

Oh, no.

And because they don't get airplay on streaming,

they were number two on the charts.

Oh, my God.

Number two, top country album.

Number 10, Billboard Top 200.

Number one, independent album, all genres.

But number one, also in sales?

Number one in sales.

Number two, digital album.

Wow.

Number seven, top internet album.

Number three, albums by Strata.

I don't know what that is.

And catalog sales, number four, The Underdog, a great CD of theirs, up 532%.

So he wrote and he said, please tell your listeners how grateful I am for their love and support.

The hundreds of kind comments that they left me on social media has left me absolutely speechless.

Tell them that I love them.

Also, please tell that Pat, tell Pat that Vaquero has

an even better chance at charting number one this week, so he isn't off the hook yet.

Horses and Divorces is going to be recorded and all the proceeds will go to charity.

That's great.

It's going to be awesome.

I don't remember you.

I remember the whole charity party.

I didn't sign off.

I think he's actually working on a song called Horses and Divorces.

I I have a few of you.

He said that will be the name of our song, Horses and Divorces.

You need to say to him, who are you?

Who are you to tell me?

To dictate to me.

He's already dictating to charity.

Right.

Wow.

If he would have listened to you, he would have been number one on all the charts.

There's no question about it.

No question.

Well, it's easy for Aaron Watson with his number one CDs to tell you, hey, we're going to donate it all to charity.

But I mean, you know,

Pat's got the, you know, he's a struggling artist.

Yeah.

He's a big transfer with six mouths to feed.

Right.

Okay.

Well, none of them are in the house.

None of them.

Well, one of them is still in the house.

One of them.

And more are coming back.

All the time.

And they're coming back with more.

With more.

That's not right.

That is not right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So congratulations, Aaron Watson.

Yeah, that's really great that he's.

I mean, that's pretty spectacular for an independent artist who has no record company.

If you don't understand what

the big deal the record company is, they're the ones who call the radio stations and make sure you put the record on.

They're the ones who distribute this to the record stores so that the record stores display it and sell it.

I mean,

it's hugely important.

For him to be doing this on his own, it's unbelievable.

It's really unbelievable.

It's the ultimate disruptor in music right now.

Definitely.

And I absolutely love it.

And he's one of the kindest guys.

He's Michael Boublet of Country Music.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

Really good guy.

Really good guy.

Vaccaro is the name of the CD.

If you like country music, you're going to love this.

And Pat hates country music and he really likes it.

Yeah.

Vaccaro on the charts now.

This is the Glenn Beck program,

Mercury.
