3/3/17 - Full Show

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Speaker 4 Hello, America, and welcome to Friday.

Speaker 6 The Glenn Beck program is on.

Speaker 6 We want to talk to you about Jeff Sessions, MS13.

Speaker 10 Horrible, horrible story

Speaker 11 out of

Speaker 6 Houston, Texas, about a satanic cult that is kidnapping children and using them as sacrifice.

Speaker 11 This is something that we've been working on all around the world with

Speaker 14 Rescue Our Children, Operation Underground Railroad.

Speaker 2 We'll talk about that coming up.

Speaker 6 Also,

Speaker 17 a great

Speaker 20 point of view, a woman in two minutes from Great Britain on the BBC that understands why Trump was elected and is telling the left, calm down.

Speaker 6 Amazing audio from the bbc we begin with that and more right now

Speaker 6 i will make a stand i will raise my voice i will hold your hand because we have one

Speaker 6 i will be my drum

Speaker 6 i have made my choice we will overcome

Speaker 6 cause we are one

Speaker 23 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck Program.

Speaker 2 Hello, America.

Speaker 6 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 19 A lot of things going on.

Speaker 25 By the way, yesterday, an update, we were talking about Tom Hanks

Speaker 25 and the possibility of Tom Hanks running for president.

Speaker 30 And we get off the air yesterday and we find that Tom Hanks has sent a new espresso machine to the White House press corps.

Speaker 8 And he wrote

Speaker 35 yeah, really nice of him.

Speaker 20 And he wrote a note and he said, keep up the good fight for the truth, justice, and the American way, especially the truth part, Tom Hanks.

Speaker 41 To me, that's not a move of an actor.

Speaker 43 Maybe it's just me.

Speaker 24 I mean, one of the theories, too, about Trump and his success throughout the campaign was that here's a guy who's been in everybody's living room once a week, being in control of every business situation and making every correct decision.

Speaker 24 And people watch The Apprentice and they believe he was that guy. If that's true, and that is part of the reason Trump won, imagine what it would be for Tom Hanks.

Speaker 24 The guy's just been rescuing people, surviving amazing things, being the good guy in every situation. We were talking yesterday, I think on Patton Stew, about the idea of

Speaker 24 what roles has he been in where he was the bad guy.

Speaker 24 And you're like, you run through him, and it's like, someone brought up Road to Perdition, which I sort of remember as being a decent movie, but he was.

Speaker 45 Yeah, but nobody saw it, and nobody right, but that's but that's it, right?

Speaker 24 Every one of his big movies.

Speaker 24 He's a good guy. He's the hero.

Speaker 23 He's the guy on what you're doing.

Speaker 48 He saved everybody on Apollo 13.

Speaker 23 Sully.

Speaker 31 He was sully. He was sully.

Speaker 50 I mean, this guy, if he decided to run,

Speaker 51 he could make a big dent.

Speaker 54 But he's got to weigh, as we talked about yesterday, he's got to weigh, you go, you run, you lose,

Speaker 27 you're no longer that guy.

Speaker 46 No, it's

Speaker 34 over. It's over.

Speaker 35 You are now the political guy, and nobody will ever see you as anything else.

Speaker 50 So it's the end of his career or the beginning of a new career for him

Speaker 53 should he decide to do that. But I thought the espresso machine, I thought we should bring that up.

Speaker 56 I thought that was really interesting.

Speaker 24 It's an interesting move. I mean, if you're just an actor, why are you sending the White House press corps?

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 40 I thought that was really interesting.

Speaker 24 Just being nice. Just likes it.
And look, he enjoys the message.

Speaker 22 I mean, I agree with him.

Speaker 17 They should keep up the fight for the truth.

Speaker 37 I wish he would have sent the espresso machine eight years ago.

Speaker 23 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 39 It would have been nice eight years ago, but apparently not.

Speaker 31 Apparently, now is the time the truth matters.

Speaker 24 It is amazing.

Speaker 24 I mean, I kind of

Speaker 24 hit you with this right before we went on the air.

Speaker 56 This is terrifying.

Speaker 24 But what percentage of Republicans would say freedom of news or organizations to criticize leaders is very important to democracy?

Speaker 58 I mean, might. 100%.

Speaker 24 100% is the right number, right? Of course. I mean, our founders, of course,

Speaker 24 they put freedom of the press in there for a reason.

Speaker 21 And number one.

Speaker 23 Number one.

Speaker 24 That's a big deal.

Speaker 50 Freedom of press.

Speaker 60 What percentage, let me just make sure you understand.

Speaker 32 What percentage of Republicans say freedom of the press to

Speaker 63 question

Speaker 23 leaders

Speaker 34 is important.

Speaker 24 That should be 100%.

Speaker 24 100%. You know, in every poll, there's a few people who either jokingly or otherwise pull the lever the other way.
So maybe it's 95, 98, 97. Right.
That's what it probably should be.

Speaker 24 The actual number from Pew of Republicans that say freedom of news organizations to criticize leaders is very important to democracy. 49%.

Speaker 64 Now,

Speaker 63 this is crazy because you could have taken taken that poll eight, nine months ago, a year ago.

Speaker 67 And it would have been where it should be.

Speaker 20 It would have been 100%.

Speaker 39 It would have been everybody saying, oh, you have to question the president.

Speaker 26 Now, they don't want the questioning of the president.

Speaker 50 We have to be tethered to principles or we lose our constitution.

Speaker 24 But I mean, you know, and you're right.

Speaker 24 They took it during the heat of the campaign when Trump was being beat up a lot then, and it was very similar numbers.

Speaker 24 If you go back to 2000, you know, let's go back to 2010, 2012, it would be almost 100%.

Speaker 24 I mean 100% is a little bit of exaggeration. I mean even Democrats now is only 76%.

Speaker 24 How is that possible?

Speaker 11 How is that possible?

Speaker 24 I mean, of course it's very important. Of course it is.

Speaker 24 You have to have freedom.

Speaker 23 Freedom is freedom of the press.

Speaker 28 Here is the problem.

Speaker 17 If you look at the

Speaker 42 set of, what are those five pillars that we've been talking about?

Speaker 73 The

Speaker 23 moral foundation.

Speaker 11 Yeah, the moral foundation theory.

Speaker 74 You look at the moral foundation theory, and one of the moral foundations that is very high with Republicans and conservatives is loyalty.

Speaker 31 And you're seeing that played out there.

Speaker 52 I can guarantee you in 2012, that number was at least 75%.

Speaker 27 And you're seeing that drop down to 49 because of loyalty.

Speaker 38 We feel, conservatives feel an extra pull to loyalty, and it's a good trait.

Speaker 39 Sometimes it can be applied in the wrong way, but we feel this, we got to be loyal, loyal to the country, loyal to the president, loyal to the party, loyal to our guy, where instead we should be finding our loyalty on the principles.

Speaker 57 of the Constitution and the free press.

Speaker 29 Then, once you have the loyalty to the free press, then you have the credibility to go to the press and say, we believe that in the free press, but you're doing it wrong.

Speaker 58 You're applying it selectively.

Speaker 37 We lose because we also apply things selectively.

Speaker 43 You can't be the person that stands for the Constitution, that stands for freedom of speech, stands for the right to protest, stands for the right for your church to say what it wants, but then come back with 49%

Speaker 34 and say, well, you can't question this leader.

Speaker 43 You have to be consistent.

Speaker 80 Your loyalty must be towards the principle and not to the party, not to the person,

Speaker 63 and not even to

Speaker 22 Congress or the White House.

Speaker 83 I would hope

Speaker 17 that we wouldn't be loyal to a president

Speaker 26 And I'm guessing it will be a progressive that will do this again, and it will happen again whether whether it's in our lifetime or not, I don't know.

Speaker 43 But we wouldn't be loyal to a president or a party who said, let's go scoop up all of the Americans and put them in, or Germans and put them in internment camps.

Speaker 27 That happened under Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 20 Let's go scoop up all of the Japanese and put them in internment camps.

Speaker 44 That happened under FDR.

Speaker 17 And because people were afraid and loyal to those presidents,

Speaker 21 they violated the Constitution Constitution of the United States we can't do that we have to find our loyalty in the principles

Speaker 24 that's a terrifying number I mean less than half the I mean a lot of it is just you know tribal and you're right loyalty and but a lot of items but a lot of it also is

Speaker 47 they suck

Speaker 86 They have so violated, and so we're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Speaker 24 Right. They're saying, you know, I don't like the way the media is criticizing my leader.

Speaker 24 And so they're pushing back against it.

Speaker 59 And they have reason to think. It's legitimate.

Speaker 74 I mean, it's totally legitimate.

Speaker 21 I mean, they don't, that number would not be that way if the press would come out and do a mea culpa and say, you know, we've really done some soul searching.

Speaker 15 Because it's not hard.

Speaker 26 You can do the research and find out what people think about you.

Speaker 19 You just have to be man enough to say, okay,

Speaker 66 right or wrong, that is the perception and perception is reality.

Speaker 69 So, what are we going to do to ensure that we don't do that anymore or don't appear that way anymore?

Speaker 20 And if they would come out and do a front-page editorial in the New York Times and say, you know, we've done some research and then we did our soul searching, and America is right.

Speaker 82 America is right.

Speaker 30 We have appeared to be soft on one side and extra hard on the other.

Speaker 17 And then we are going to correct that by hiring more people that have a different point of view or doing it right down the middle.

Speaker 8 I mean, I know large companies right now that are looking at how do we just tell the facts?

Speaker 26 You know, there's in Silicon Valley, they're starting to do

Speaker 17 working on something called like a truth Wikipedia to where a story comes out and

Speaker 26 you can go in and add the truth to it to make sure that that story is exactly right.

Speaker 33 Now I don't know how that works because Wikipedia is very skewed.

Speaker 24 Yeah, though, I mean it does it does a pretty good job.

Speaker 89 Pretty close. Yeah.

Speaker 24 Pretty close. Now, do you technically have to have a soul to do soul searching? Because that could be an issue here.

Speaker 34 Yes, that is

Speaker 35 actually a problem there.

Speaker 24 But I mean, we said, you know, when you

Speaker 24 are trying to say Donald Trump is this terrifying person, and what you do is spend multiple days hyperventilating about Kellyanne Conway

Speaker 24 is kneeling on a couch. It's difficult for anybody to take you seriously.

Speaker 60 Especially since you have the other picture.

Speaker 24 Yeah, there's a zillion pictures of Donald Trump of Barack Obama doing things like that.

Speaker 23 No, no, no, but wait.

Speaker 41 It's not only that.

Speaker 50 The reason why she was kneeling on the couch.

Speaker 24 It's because she was taking the picture.

Speaker 60 She was taking the picture.

Speaker 86 And there is a picture of her kneeling on the couch.

Speaker 90 It makes total sense.

Speaker 23 It sure does.

Speaker 17 What was she looking at?

Speaker 84 I've actually heard press people say, what was she looking at?

Speaker 23 What was she viewing the picture? She was so bored.

Speaker 24 That's exactly right.

Speaker 84 They were all lined up for a picture that she took.

Speaker 37 She positioned herself on the couch like that to take it.

Speaker 91 And then the press, they know they have the other.

Speaker 46 That's darn right they know. That's the problem.

Speaker 24 I mean, I just really want to know what was going on there because I mean, I won't tell anybody.

Speaker 24 And you can just explain to me that that circumstance because she really looked kind of familiar there in that position there.

Speaker 46 Oh, my God.

Speaker 24 But, you know, I don't want you to refer back to the 90s. By the way, that wasn't me saying that.
That was a Democratic congressman. talking about Kellyanne Conway saying, quote,

Speaker 24 she really looked kind of familiar in that position there on her knees on the couch in the Oval Life.

Speaker 23 Again,

Speaker 21 a maya culpa from the press saying, we get it, and because we get it, we're going to hold that Democrat as responsible for that misogynistic kind of talk as we would hold any Republican.

Speaker 24 Yeah, and I mean, this is less of a story than Kellyanne Conway actually being on her knees on the couch. Yes.

Speaker 24 They are making this, which is an elected official saying basically she likes to be on her knees in a sexual manner to a woman who

Speaker 24 for no reason.

Speaker 24 She didn't do anything to him. Just a picture of her on her knees in the Oval Office.

Speaker 38 And she was on her knees in the Oval Office to take a picture.

Speaker 32 That's why she was on her knees.

Speaker 92 And they have the photograph of her taking the picture.

Speaker 24 Cedric Richmond, by the way. Democrat Louisiana.
Deserves his name to be out there.

Speaker 86 Unbelievable.

Speaker 24 But that one, I mean, that will be a blip, if it's a blip,

Speaker 24 on the news today. And that's why

Speaker 23 Blood influences his polls. That's right.

Speaker 95 That's right. And nobody's calling that a war on women.

Speaker 67 Nobody's saying that about that.

Speaker 23 Can you imagine that?

Speaker 82 That congressman, if that was said by a Republican, they would have been run out of office.

Speaker 58 They would not, that would be the only story today.

Speaker 74 Definitely.

Speaker 37 How dare you say that about a woman?

Speaker 27 But see, it's also not the press's fault

Speaker 15 entirely

Speaker 73 because a lot of that stuff is driven by like the National Organization of Women.

Speaker 97 The National Organization of Women would have been all over that because they're a political machine.

Speaker 20 And so the National Organization of Women pushed that story so it's reported once.

Speaker 17 Then the National Organization puts out a bunch of press releases and has calls all the reporters and say, we're outraged by this.

Speaker 80 And so then the coverage comes from, hey, there's more dust up about the Kelly and Conway comment from Cedric.

Speaker 50 And here's what the National Organization of Women said.

Speaker 79 So part of it is that they have a machine that we don't have.

Speaker 8 I mean, when Hillary Clinton said, imagine this, imagine this.

Speaker 33 Remember, we were people who were trying to disrupt and stop the government.

Speaker 38 Just disrupt.

Speaker 85 We were the party of no.

Speaker 23 That's all that we were.

Speaker 27 If I heard that from one liberal friend, I heard that from every liberal friend.

Speaker 51 You guys are just becoming the party of no with the Tea Party.

Speaker 22 No, we're not. We're not.

Speaker 30 We're saying no to things that are unconstitutional, but we do have our own ideas.

Speaker 63 They're now touting.

Speaker 12 that they are going to be the party of no.

Speaker 22 And nobody seems to have a problem with that.

Speaker 11 Not a story.

Speaker 100 And not a story.

Speaker 18 On top of that, Hillary Clinton saying disruption

Speaker 43 is the Democratic Party at its best is terrifying.

Speaker 101 It's terrifying.

Speaker 17 It's absolutely true,

Speaker 9 but terrifying.

Speaker 50 That, again, is why the press covers these stories, because she's right.

Speaker 64 The Democratic Party at disruption is at its best, throwing tire irons, just throwing accusations, getting the machine all wound up to stop somebody is what they do best.

Speaker 17 It's not what we do.

Speaker 66 At least it's not what we do well.

Speaker 104 How much are those spines that you see in like chiropractors' offices?

Speaker 100 Tom Hanks.

Speaker 79 Tom Hanks sent an espresso machine to the White House Press Corps.

Speaker 56 I'd like to send him a box of spines.

Speaker 49 Great.

Speaker 23 That'd be great.

Speaker 24 Great. Yeah, and people are noting that he has actually sent them in the past first in the bush administration uh then in obama and he did do it in obama yeah 2010.

Speaker 24 i guess every time the the last one breaks he sends a new one which is kind of cool i mean that's cool you know it's uh so it does uh not not a partisan situation apparently does he even know that the coffee machine breaks he's tom hanks he knows everything

Speaker 12 Yeah, well, he did know how to fix Apollo 13.

Speaker 24 That's true. Yeah.

Speaker 24 And he's an actor.

Speaker 26 He's not even an astronaut in real life.

Speaker 95 Yeah. But he still was able to fix it.

Speaker 59 He still was able to fix Apollo 13.

Speaker 109 People don't know that.

Speaker 107 He built a raft and floated in the ocean.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 105 He knows when the Express is.

Speaker 105 It took balls, too, to do that.

Speaker 35 Just get out on that raft with Wilson.

Speaker 104 I felt so bad when he lost Wilson, but he apparently has recovered and is now buying a espresso machines.

Speaker 23 So

Speaker 6 back in just a second. It's open phones today, too.

Speaker 110 888-727-BECK.

Speaker 20 Want to voice your opinion? Now's the time to call.

Speaker 31 888-727.

Speaker 16 Call us right now.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 108 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 59 Can I ask,

Speaker 61 are the Republicans, are we going to hear a Republican say you're going to to have to find out what's in it after we pass it?

Speaker 20 We have to pass it to find out what's in it.

Speaker 42 We're going to poll vault.

Speaker 18 What they're doing with Obamacare is exactly what we complained about with the Democrats.

Speaker 91 They're not being transparent.

Speaker 17 Rand Paul yesterday, we have the audio.

Speaker 24 This is audio. This is

Speaker 24 him, another thing he's doing about.

Speaker 24 Do you have this pan at

Speaker 24 Rand Paul will not support Ryan's Obamacare plan?

Speaker 21 He went on a Twitter rant

Speaker 80 yesterday saying, where's the transparency?

Speaker 24 Well, because he wants to basically try to find this information.

Speaker 24 He'd want to go find the bill and read it, which is seemingly a logical thing for a senator to do, considering he's eventually going to have to vote on it. Right.

Speaker 24 And went to go find it, and they would not let him in the room.

Speaker 24 He apparently brought his own photocopier to try to kick off me. I mean, he's I will say he's playing it up a little bit.

Speaker 36 Good.

Speaker 24 Good, Good. Bring attention to it.

Speaker 24 And

Speaker 24 I don't know why this wouldn't be a little bit more transparent, especially when Republicans have control of all three branches here.

Speaker 24 I mean, there's no reason, you know, let's push some. This is your time to get something really conservative through.

Speaker 24 You think in the future that there will be progressive control over or Democrat control over one or more of these branches. They're going to erode whatever you do now.

Speaker 24 So you better go as far as you can now because they're going to erode it and erode it and erode it as they've been doing for a century.

Speaker 32 The repeal needs to be complete repeal because if you do partial repeal, I think the situation gets worse.

Speaker 95 I think the insurance companies may well go bankrupt under partial repeal.

Speaker 57 Okay, if you get agreement on repeal outright, will you compromise on the details of its replacement?

Speaker 106 The replacement has always been open to discussion. What I did is I took together the market replacement, not big government replacement.

Speaker 106 So Paul Ryan's idea that he's going to give everybody a check in the country for their health insurance, whether they pay taxes or not, he's going to give them more money than they pay in their taxes, is an entitlement program.

Speaker 106 It's a subsidy by another name. It's Obamacare with a Republican tax credit name attached to it.

Speaker 23 Yep.

Speaker 81 Where did the Republicans go?

Speaker 23 I don't know. Why is this happening?

Speaker 67 It's like when Trump was elected,

Speaker 67 Republicans turned into Democrats.

Speaker 67 It's really a weird phenomenon.

Speaker 90 And like all the supporters are just okay with every single liberal and progressive policy that this guy promotes or the Congress promotes.

Speaker 85 It was weird to have the Drudge Report report that Dreamers,

Speaker 50 the Dreamers Act, which was like, wasn't that like a hot poker in the eye?

Speaker 24 The reason Marco Rubio probably didn't win the nomination because that was what they beat along the way from the bottom.

Speaker 26 And Donald Trump was saying, you know, you're for the DREAM Act and you're for the Dreamers and

Speaker 23 everybody, every when he would say no everybody would go all over him that was a Trump supporter now the drudge report said

Speaker 61 Donald Trump compromises the dreamers dream under Trump he's accepting and not doing anything about the DREAM Act and when I posted something and I just said honest question

Speaker 26 If you voted for Donald Trump, because I was remembering people saying that he'd never do that.

Speaker 91 Honest question.

Speaker 17 If you voted, do you, how do you feel about that?

Speaker 20 Oh my gosh, of course I was the devil for even asking the question.

Speaker 12 But the answer was, well, we knew he was going to do that anyway.

Speaker 23 What?

Speaker 23 For nine months.

Speaker 58 For nine months, you yelled at me when I said he would do that and you told me he wouldn't do that.

Speaker 23 Hello.

Speaker 63 Now we have Obamacare.

Speaker 58 We want a repeal of Obamacare.

Speaker 63 They're not going to repeal it.

Speaker 20 They're going to replace it with another kind of Obamacare.

Speaker 63 Where were we marching for that?

Speaker 20 I don't remember those signs saying we want a different kind of Obamacare.

Speaker 32 I remember us marching saying it's unconstitutional.

Speaker 19 I don't understand it.

Speaker 60 I really, this is an honest plea.

Speaker 26 I don't understand.

Speaker 19 Help me understand.

Speaker 24 Well, I mean, the easiest explanation is that the policy is not important to a lot of people.

Speaker 24 I mean, to many people in this audience, it is, but a lot of, you know, generally speaking, it is just not a part of this process.

Speaker 66 The problem is, is that

Speaker 66 Trump has hijacked the party.

Speaker 55 Okay. That's something that a lot of people want.

Speaker 24 And to be fair on this, before we go on, Trump has not done the illegal immigration thing yet. They have hinted towards it.

Speaker 28 I'm getting that from the Drudge Report.

Speaker 26 I'm not getting that from the left.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 34 I'm getting that from the Drudge Report, which is all Trump, all positive news all the time.

Speaker 24 And the health care bill, there's been a lot leaked. There's been a lot talked about.
However, Rand Paul hasn't even seen the bill yet.

Speaker 59 So we don't know what it is.

Speaker 46 However,

Speaker 41 we know Paul Ryan and these guys, many of them are progressives.

Speaker 63 And we told you this under Obamacare.

Speaker 50 They did this under Bush.

Speaker 39 With prescription drugs.

Speaker 105 They want the big government systems because it gives them power.

Speaker 41 We don't want the government systems.

Speaker 26 We don't want the government bailouts.

Speaker 47 We don't want the subsidies.

Speaker 31 The Constitution doesn't allow for those things.

Speaker 26 And that's what we marched for.

Speaker 21 Now, I'm not blaming this one on Trump.

Speaker 19 I'm blaming this one on the GOP.

Speaker 47 The GOP was supposed to be hijacked by Donald Trump.

Speaker 76 I'm not sure it was hijacked by Donald Trump.

Speaker 17 I think it was co-opted.

Speaker 18 One has co-opted the other.

Speaker 22 And

Speaker 84 we're looking at a big, progressive medical system.

Speaker 17 And it will, if you don't repeal all of it, it will collapse the insurance companies.

Speaker 58 And when the insurance companies collapse, then you only have the choice of a single-payer system.

Speaker 36 That was the plan under Obama that we all talked about, called conspiracy theorist for it.

Speaker 86 He wanted a single payer system.

Speaker 12 So what do you do?

Speaker 7 You design a crappy replacement that is designed to collapse.

Speaker 102 When it collapses, they say, see, this hybrid doesn't work.

Speaker 46 Didn't go far enough. Didn't go far enough.

Speaker 50 And that's what they do.

Speaker 17 So we will repeal

Speaker 20 and replace with a hybrid that's even weaker than this one,

Speaker 40 or we won't do anything about it.

Speaker 20 Either one of those leads to a collapse and a democratically controlled Congress and probably White House, and then what?

Speaker 45 You're going to get a single-payer system.

Speaker 24 I get frustrated by these same things,

Speaker 56 clearly.

Speaker 24 And I think when you say this is what we marched for, you're right, technically, because you're talking to us and you're talking to this audience. Yes.

Speaker 24 However, this audience of 10 million is large, but it's not the whole country. And I think what the truth is, is that most people were marching not because they cared about this healthcare policy.

Speaker 24 They were marching because they didn't like losing. And their team kept losing, they felt.

Speaker 59 And now

Speaker 24 the process to get there now that they're winning, they're happy to cheer on their guy because they feel like they're winning.

Speaker 24 And like, I am happy to cheer on, by the way, Donald Trump when he picks Neil Gorsuch. And I am happy to pick it when he passes tax reform.
I'm going to cheer him on all of these things.

Speaker 24 So there's a lot of cheering to do. And many of these things are going to be a lot of fun.

Speaker 23 There's been a lot of cheering this week.

Speaker 24 Yeah, there's been a lot of positive things to see.

Speaker 105 And I don't blame this one on Donald Trump.

Speaker 59 Yeah, no, it's not.

Speaker 19 I blame this one on the GOP.

Speaker 24 The criticism here is not on Donald Trump. It's on a lack of engagement.
You know, the fact that you see, you know,

Speaker 24 we've done all of these polls.

Speaker 24 The approval rating for Russia among Republicans goes from 8% to 40%. For what reason has Russia been just this collection of just such amazing guys over the past year?

Speaker 27 Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 30 Boris and Natasha took us out to dinner.

Speaker 23 They're fantastic. They're fantastic.

Speaker 24 We see it with the media. We see it with all of these things.
And it's so tribal. And it's so much about my team needs to win.
Who cares about the process?

Speaker 24 It's only people who sit around listening to talk radio and studying these things 15, 20, 25 hours a week that wind up caring about the details of these policies.

Speaker 66 And it's, you know, what it's very interesting to me

Speaker 66 because

Speaker 71 it is the same thing that's happening on the Democratic side.

Speaker 50 The Democrats, they should be loving all of this stuff.

Speaker 69 They should be loving all of this.

Speaker 21 And they're not.

Speaker 31 They've whipped themselves into a lather.

Speaker 102 Do you have the BBC

Speaker 21 lady?

Speaker 91 Listen to this lady describing and telling the liberal

Speaker 21 or progressive America to sit down and relax about Donald Trump.

Speaker 42 Listen to this.

Speaker 108 Stop the hysteria hysteria around Trump.

Speaker 108 The fear and fury that has followed Trump's election obscures an understanding of what is happening. Too much sounds like childish name-calling.
The rest like a condemnation of democracy.

Speaker 108 Too much misses what is unexceptional about his words and his deeds. Plenty of presidents before Trump behaved with impunity.
Who lied to the public? Nixon and Clinton.

Speaker 108 Who declared a war without congressional approval? Truman. Bush declared an open-ended national emergency.
Obama continued it. Trump is obnoxious.
He lacks statesmanship.

Speaker 108 But the elegant statesman Obama deported more illegal aliens than any other president. This isn't to engage in what a battery,

Speaker 108 more to illustrate the limited critical response to past presidents in contrast to the frenzied response to Donald Trump.

Speaker 108 Amid all the outrage, we misunderstand that Trump's win was a reaction against playing the game. He appeals to ignored millions sick of stage-managed politics.

Speaker 108 He is the product of profound changes in politics and the economy. Progressives should expend their energies on tackling serious social problems rather than screaming abuse at Trump and his voters.

Speaker 108 Trump was elected in a mature democracy with a free press, the rule of law and an independent judiciary. It is a far cry from 1933.

Speaker 108 We need to stop panicking and regain historical perspective. That way Trump's decisions can be subject to democratic debate and we can find ways to repair the fault lines in our societies.

Speaker 39 I mean, how fantastic.

Speaker 50 That's from the BBC.

Speaker 76 Again,

Speaker 26 England, the reporting in England, always giving us better perspective than we have here.

Speaker 105 It happened under Obama, and I think it's happening in some degree under Trump.

Speaker 8 They were the only ones that were actually asking tough questions.

Speaker 76 It was the foreign press that asked the questions of Obama.

Speaker 38 It's the foreign press here that says

Speaker 50 he sent back home more illegal aliens than any other president.

Speaker 48 If you ask that question of any American, which president sent more illegal aliens home in the last 20 years, let alone any other president.

Speaker 56 It would have said Bush.

Speaker 43 Would have said Bush.

Speaker 63 It was Obama.

Speaker 109 It's not a bad thing, by the way.

Speaker 23 No,

Speaker 23 did you even know that, though?

Speaker 93 No, I mean,

Speaker 67 I know that they claimed that.

Speaker 93 I'm not sure. I I didn't believe it.

Speaker 24 There's some, and I'm trying to remember what it was, but there's some distinction with his deportation numbers that makes it a little bit different. But still.

Speaker 31 Still, you would think that he was not sending anyone home.

Speaker 82 Right.

Speaker 74 And

Speaker 36 why do we not know that?

Speaker 44 We don't know that because

Speaker 63 the left didn't like that.

Speaker 43 So let's keep that quiet.

Speaker 52 I'm not saying that the press kept that quiet.

Speaker 17 The press may not have reported on it, or I mean, they may have reported on it, but we didn't believe it because it was so opposite of what the left wanted.

Speaker 50 And when you have La Raza not kicking up a storm and saying this president is doing this to illegal immigrants, you just assume it's not happening.

Speaker 64 But why didn't La Raza do it?

Speaker 43 Because La Raza was happy it was their side doing it.

Speaker 15 Our sponsor this half hour is Simply Safe.

Speaker 50 Home burglaries occur every 13 seconds in the United States.

Speaker 32 By the time I finish this commercial, four houses will be broken into.

Speaker 105 Simply Safe had one of the most talked-about innovations to keep your home and family safe at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas.

Speaker 57 It's a camera that connects to the sensors in your alarm system.

Speaker 51 Now, a lot of people have a problem with a camera in their house, you know, that's open all the time.

Speaker 22 This has a shutter on it that actually only opens when the alarm is triggered.

Speaker 17 So it's not capturing anything else unless you trigger it or the alarm is triggered.

Speaker 31 When the alarm is triggered, it opens up the shutter and then starts to film whatever is happening.

Speaker 28 Somebody's breaking into a front door or a window.

Speaker 42 It captures it, sends that video.

Speaker 20 You can watch it on your iPhone.

Speaker 30 It will call the police immediately and it gives them the picture of the guy or the woman, I hate to be sexist, that has broken into your house.

Speaker 71 So far, three robberies have happened since I started telling you about the camera.

Speaker 104 Rand Paul, I got to give you a clip of another speech.

Speaker 73 Rand Paul gave a speech a couple weeks ago on the budget that is way out of control from the GOP.

Speaker 72 Here's what he said. Listen.

Speaker 106 The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same.

Speaker 111 Republicans won the White House. Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the House. And what will the first order of business be for the new Republican majority?

Speaker 24 To pass a budget that never balances.

Speaker 111 To pass a budget that will add $9.7 trillion

Speaker 111 of new debt over 10 years.

Speaker 31 Oh, my God.

Speaker 47 Is that really what we campaigned on?

Speaker 111 Is that really what the Republican Party represents?

Speaker 111 Our first order of business will be a budget that never balances a budget that adds 9.7 trillion dollars to the debt and they tell us oh but it's not a budget

Speaker 24 yeah he goes on to explain it's not a budget these numbers don't matter is what people keep telling him he's like well if they don't matter why don't we make the budget good

Speaker 16 let's just put out something that we actually want to happen where where was that guy during the election well maybe we weren't listening to him i don't know but thank goodness for massey and a few people in the house, the Freedom Caucus and

Speaker 104 Mike Lee, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz.

Speaker 24 Keep pushing.

Speaker 40 Keep pushing.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 115 Mercury.

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Speaker 28 Hello, America. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 19 Jeff Sessions

Speaker 6 has recused himself from the investigation into Russia.

Speaker 20 There's more on that.

Speaker 6 Pepsi is going to lay off about 100 people in Philadelphia.

Speaker 85 Why?

Speaker 6 Because of the soda tax.

Speaker 6 I can say this now because Stu is not in the room. Who would have seen that one coming?

Speaker 6 Who would have seen that one coming?

Speaker 20 Colin Kaepernick is reportedly going to stand for the national anthem all next season.

Speaker 6 Too late, Colin. We'll give you that here in just a second.
And the GOP, accused of playing

Speaker 116 hide-and-seek with the Obamacare Repeal Act, we are going to have Representative Massey from the Freedom Caucus on in just a few minutes.

Speaker 20 We begin there right now.

Speaker 20 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice i will hold your hand because we have won i will be my drum i have made my choice we will overcome because we are one

Speaker 23 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment this is the glenn beck program

Speaker 117 Hello, America. Got a lot to talk about.

Speaker 6 I want to talk to you about this amazing video that came out of a Tesla self-driving car that I think think saved at least one life on the freeway.

Speaker 12 It's an amazing video and shows you,

Speaker 34 A, that the technology is not ready to self-drive.

Speaker 56 They say you got to keep your hands on the wheel.

Speaker 67 Yeah, it's not ready to self-drive and just

Speaker 11 watch a movie.

Speaker 39 This guy's like dead asleep at the wheel.

Speaker 52 But instead of a massive pileup on the highway, This the car runs into the pile, you know, the, what are those called?

Speaker 23 Pycrete pylons? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 31 And hits that concrete pylon, but it just adjusts.

Speaker 26 It doesn't overreact and spin out.

Speaker 45 It doesn't go into the next lane.

Speaker 31 It just adjusts, comes out, and then slowly, safely stops.

Speaker 67 While it puts on the emergency flashers.

Speaker 109 Right.

Speaker 5 Immediately puts on the emergency flashers.

Speaker 86 The guy in the next lane who would have been dead would have been dead.

Speaker 5 I think if the person was driving, he would have been dead.

Speaker 4 They didn't even swerve.

Speaker 67 It didn't even come out of his lane.

Speaker 59 I mean, it's... It didn't come out of his lane.

Speaker 50 It's amazing what is happening.

Speaker 24 And I would say it's being promoted more of like a negative, right?

Speaker 23 Like, look, a Tesla crashed. Yes.
Oh, no. It is.
And Tesla,

Speaker 67 if you've seen the construction going on in the Dallas area, you would know that.

Speaker 22 Did this happen here in Dallas?

Speaker 97 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 67 Yeah, so it doesn't make sense. The lane changes.
I mean, the Tesla is going along fine, and then all of a sudden there's no lane there.

Speaker 95 There's a concrete barrier.

Speaker 67 And so it was supposed to merge over, but it didn't because it's not ready for that yet. So it's slammed into the, it sideswiped the concrete.

Speaker 50 And it's, it's really, it's really, truly amazing.

Speaker 20 It's going to change everything.

Speaker 117 We have to talk about that sometime in today's show.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 53 Oh, we have Congressman Massey on the phone now.

Speaker 56 Thought we were going to, um, I thought he was going to be on a little later.

Speaker 40 Let's grab him while we can.

Speaker 26 Um, Congressman Massey is

Speaker 69 traveling.

Speaker 31 He is one of the good guys in Congress, Freedom Caucus,

Speaker 69 and

Speaker 70 can tell us maybe what the heck is happening

Speaker 13 with

Speaker 43 Obamacare and this mysterious bill?

Speaker 101 Congressman, welcome.

Speaker 49 Thanks for having me on, Glenn. Sure.

Speaker 49 Let me tell you what the problem is.

Speaker 2 It's not that this is going to cost us an election because we all got elected running on repealing Obamacare. The problem is it's going to cost a lot of people money in Washington, D.C.

Speaker 2 because the insurance lobbies have given so much money.

Speaker 2 In fact, the committees that are playing hide and seek with this bill right now, they're the committees that receive the most money from the health insurance lobby.

Speaker 95 How interesting.

Speaker 67 So are you saying, Congressman, that it's the insurance companies that want Obamacare to remain?

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 96 I discovered this three years ago.

Speaker 2 For instance, John Boehner came into a private meeting with us once. We were out in the news, and some of us may have even been on your show talking about getting rid of these risk corridors.

Speaker 2 Wouldn't that be a great vote to make the Democrats vote for a corporate bailout, like put the risk corridors back up for a vote in Congress.

Speaker 2 John Boehner came into the meeting and said, shut it up, shut it down. I've got the insurance companies breathing down my neck.

Speaker 2 I don't want the heat, so just quit talking about that, taking that vote. We're not going to take it.

Speaker 93 So

Speaker 46 they probably don't want to lose the mandate that you must have their product or pay a fine.

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 49 That's right.

Speaker 2 And think about what's happened here in Kentucky with the Medicaid expansion. See, for a while, I couldn't figure this out.

Speaker 2 I thought, why would the private health insurance companies go along with the deal that took their customers away and put them into Medicaid?

Speaker 2 But then I found out when you sign up for Medicaid in Kentucky, you pick either Blue Cross and Blue Shield or Humana because they run the Medicaid.

Speaker 23 They got the best. That's fascinating.

Speaker 118 Wow.

Speaker 42 So you're not real popular with Humana there in Kentucky.

Speaker 96 Yeah, well, I've got so many enemies going on.

Speaker 59 I know. So,

Speaker 42 so what, yeah, us two?

Speaker 74 You're talking to least popular people this time.

Speaker 42 You think you're not popular.

Speaker 59 Try us on.

Speaker 73 The

Speaker 17 GOP,

Speaker 20 do they understand

Speaker 33 that

Speaker 75 by

Speaker 37 repealing pieces of this, it's going to

Speaker 33 hasten the collapse of the system?

Speaker 33 I don't know if they understand.

Speaker 2 You know what I realized is facts oftentimes don't matter very much in Washington, D.C. because these politicians are under different constraints, money raising constraints and whatnot.

Speaker 47 So what do you think?

Speaker 20 What are we going to come out with?

Speaker 50 What is it that you believe is in this bill that they, I mean, I can't believe they might as well say, they might as well put Nancy Pelosi out as the spokesperson.

Speaker 32 You have to pass the bill to see what's in it.

Speaker 32 And that's what I've been saying that it sounds like.

Speaker 2 Look, they've got a euphemism for their new entitlement program. It's called monthly refundable tax credits.
What is a monthly refundable tax credit? It's a cash payment every month.

Speaker 2 I mean, basically, what we've done is we've conceded to the Liberals and the Democrats, if we pass this bill, that every American deserves or is entitled to a subsidy.

Speaker 26 There's your basic minimum income.

Speaker 50 There's your universal basic income.

Speaker 96 Yes.

Speaker 96 It's a refundable monthly tax credit.

Speaker 2 I've never heard of such a thing.

Speaker 31 What kind of expense does it take to start something up that is giving people a monthly stipend?

Speaker 31 Well, that's why it goes into the Ways and Means Committee and away from the Energy and Commerce Committee because it's going to take one hell of

Speaker 2 a tax reform to pay for this.

Speaker 2 Look, here's what I would do, Glenn. You know, Rand Paul's got a bill out there, and if you go through the elements of his bill,

Speaker 2 most of the elements have 80% report, or sorry, support.

Speaker 2 And so let's put them one at a time on the floor for a vote in the House and the Senate. For instance, should you be able to buy health insurance across state lines? Put that on the floor.

Speaker 2 Just standalone.

Speaker 2 You know, if we got gummed up repealing Obamacare, let's put that on the floor next week, see who will vote for it, and make the Democrats vote against that.

Speaker 2 Or, you know, the health insurance companies have an exemption from the antitrust laws. The doctors don't.
The hospitals don't, but the health insurance companies do.

Speaker 2 Take away their antitrust exemption. Put that on the floor.
See if Democrats will vote for it. You know, how about tax deductibility?

Speaker 2 If you're a farmer here in Kentucky and you have to buy your health insurance, why shouldn't you be able to deduct it?

Speaker 41 So, Congressman Numassey from Kentucky, the Freedom Caucus, and one of the good guys that are standing up,

Speaker 21 what does the average American do?

Speaker 86 And are you hearing any outrage from your constituents?

Speaker 85 It seems that a lot of people that were part of the Tea Party are just falling into lockstep and saying this is okay.

Speaker 85 I think the outrage is coming.

Speaker 2 I mean, this is why they've kept it under wraps. It's hard to attack something that doesn't exist.

Speaker 2 But when they roll this sucker out, I think you're going to see a backlash.

Speaker 31 Who's going to be the backlash?

Speaker 40 Going to be the Democrats or the Republicans? The Republicans.

Speaker 2 The Democrats, by the way, with this indivisible and whatnot, they're so wound up they don't even know what they're mad about. They're just protesting whatever they can protest.

Speaker 2 But the backlash is going to be from the people who voted for Donald Trump for a change. For instance, by the way, Glenn, I was the only Republican this time to vote against Paul Ryan for Speaker.
So,

Speaker 2 you know, and I tweeted when I did that, I said, Americans vote for change and Congress votes for Paul Ryan.

Speaker 96 Unbelievable.

Speaker 96 So that's the dichotomy you've got going on here.

Speaker 41 You voted against the spending bill, did you not?

Speaker 2 Yes, I did vote against $9.7 trillion.

Speaker 2 They said the numbers didn't matter. They were imaginary.
And I said, well, why don't we imagine numbers that balanced in?

Speaker 23 That's great.

Speaker 23 Oh, that's great. Gosh.

Speaker 40 Wow, that sounds like Democrats.

Speaker 67 The numbers don't matter.

Speaker 109 They're imaginary.

Speaker 23 The trillion,

Speaker 29 the president gave his speech this week, which was widely liked.

Speaker 76 I mean, I thought the tone was spot-on.

Speaker 35 I really liked the tone of it.

Speaker 43 But there were a few things things in there that, I mean, my eyes were bleeding.

Speaker 103 One of them was a trillion-dollar infrastructure spending.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I listened to that and I parsed it very carefully.

Speaker 2 He didn't say that the federal government would spend a trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 The wording was very careful, and he was reading it off the teleprompter, something to the effect that it would cause to be spent a trillion dollars on infrastructure.

Speaker 23 But let me tell you where he was. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Sorry.

Speaker 43 How does the federal government cause the private sector to spend a trillion dollars?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think maybe through public-private partnerships, which by the way, I'm not always a big fan of. Sometimes that's a euphemism for cronyism.
But

Speaker 2 let me tell you where you could find $100 billion. Because there's a guy who's been in Washington, D.C., trying to get anybody to listen to him, and nobody will except a few of us.

Speaker 2 We've spent $100 billion rebuilding Afghanistan.

Speaker 2 And when somebody says, oh, there's not much money in foreign aid, it's such a small percent of the budget, they've taken this money for Afghanistan and put it in a different light item than foreign aid.

Speaker 2 It's so huge. And we're on the hook for another $10 billion in Afghanistan.
This is not military spending. This is infrastructure spending in Afghanistan.
And to prop up their government,

Speaker 2 if you brought that back home, that would be another $100 billion over the next 10 years.

Speaker 24 Talking to Congressman Thomas Massey. Congressman, one of the things we keep not hearing about is the tax reform.
We keep hearing about Obamacare. We keep hearing about a lot of these other big

Speaker 24 maternity leave and all these other programs. We don't hear that much about tax reform.
Where does that stand and what are we going to get out of it?

Speaker 24 Again, when we go into the meetings, it's sort of a hand-wavy thing.

Speaker 2 There's not a particular bill that we can talk about right now because it hasn't come out.

Speaker 2 I hope we do get tax reform.

Speaker 2 What we need desperately is to simplify the tax code and i told people when i campaigned i said my wife and i graduated from mit and we can't do our own taxes there's something wrong with the tax code

Speaker 24 that does seem problematic yeah

Speaker 99 it's a problem it's a problem what about the barney frank tax or a banking reform not frank yeah and uh sarbane oxley um

Speaker 42 you know the the stock market is priced in that that's all going to be repealed Is that going to happen?

Speaker 2 You know what? If I give you one glimmer of hope, it would be in repealing regulations

Speaker 2 like that, because I think Trump's agenda overlaps with Paul Ryan's agenda and conservative agenda in the form of repealing regulations.

Speaker 2 And we've been doing a lot with the Congressional Review Act, but we can do so much more.

Speaker 2 They're thinking too small in Congress. We can defund all of these regulations.

Speaker 2 You can name the chapter and verse of the regulation you want to defund, and you just put that in the appropriations bill.

Speaker 2 And it doesn't defund it permanently. It will only defund it for that year.
And so presumably we would have four years of reprieve. But it's still, I mean, you can go after every regulation.

Speaker 23 See, here's the 60 votes.

Speaker 76 Here's the problem with that, Congressman.

Speaker 69 You know,

Speaker 19 I'm concerned that we're not doing these things the right way.

Speaker 52 So four years or eight years down the road, the Democrats take control and it all comes roaring back.

Speaker 81 We have to get off of this seesaw.

Speaker 118 Yes.

Speaker 59 How do we do that?

Speaker 22 Is anybody thinking about that?

Speaker 2 We haven't even moved beyond the pen and phone stage of the results of this last election. I mean, we do need to get to work in Congress.

Speaker 2 That's part of what's happening with the Congressional Review Act. I do have to give credit to the leadership, the Republican leadership, for using the Congressional Review Act.

Speaker 2 For instance, we just undid a rule that prevented four million Social Security recipients from owning a gun.

Speaker 2 Obama just threw them all into the NICS database and said, if somebody else collects your check for you because you're not competent enough to manage your own funds, then we're going to decide you're too

Speaker 2 unstable to own a gun. And so he basically, with his pen and his phone, prevented 4 million people from owning a gun.
And we got that repealed with the Congressional Review Act. And it's gone forever.

Speaker 2 They can't pass the rule again.

Speaker 96 That's the way the Congressional Review Act works. Once you blow it up, it's blown up until it has to go through Congress.

Speaker 35 Real quick, because I'm out of time, but can you tell me where do you stand on Jeff Sessions?

Speaker 35 I support him 100%.

Speaker 2 I mean, this is a crazy witch hunt, in my opinion, going after the Russians. It sounds like McCarthyism.
I met with Russians three weeks ago. Does that make me

Speaker 96 complicit or some kind of subversive? Right, right.

Speaker 34 And I believe the ambassador that they were talking about was in the Senate chamber or the House chamber during the State of the Union.

Speaker 36 Nobody will admit who invited him,

Speaker 55 but apparently he was in the crowd that night.

Speaker 55 You know, we have to vote on foreign policy issues and whether to go to war or not in Congress.

Speaker 2 And this is part of our job to talk to other countries.

Speaker 23 Yeah, right.

Speaker 31 Congressman Massey, thank you so much.

Speaker 99 Thanks for making time this morning for us.

Speaker 96 I appreciate it. Thank you, Clint.

Speaker 117 Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky, Louis Gomer, is going to be joining us in a little while as well.

Speaker 71 And our Texas independence final of the series coming up in just a second.

Speaker 73 Why are people moving to Texas?

Speaker 71 You'll understand in just about 10 minutes.

Speaker 74 Now, this, what do you hold most dear, and how do you protect those items?

Speaker 35 Now, I'm talking about items.

Speaker 40 I'm not talking about people.

Speaker 31 In case of a disaster, what happens to your marriage certificate?

Speaker 73 What happens to all of your pictures?

Speaker 105 What happens to all of your valuables?

Speaker 119 Mine are in my Liberty Safe.

Speaker 22 Well, now you've blown the.

Speaker 119 That's where mine are.

Speaker 34 All right, so, Stu,

Speaker 23 let me do this with you. There are no money.

Speaker 59 So, what happens to all of your pictures?

Speaker 23 Nothing happens to all of you because I put them in.

Speaker 59 I got it. I got it.

Speaker 67 Put them in my Liberty Safe. What happens

Speaker 24 with you, Stu? I don't have any valuables, sadly.

Speaker 109 Okay, that's just shut up.

Speaker 50 What happens to you, Jeffy?

Speaker 23 I think with my Liberty Safe, Glenn. He's got the fat boy.

Speaker 109 I have the fat boy. He's got the the fat boy.

Speaker 23 They thought it was so far.

Speaker 12 That sounds like a joke, but sadly, it's not.

Speaker 11 It's not a joke.

Speaker 105 It's not a joke.

Speaker 87 He owns the fat boy.

Speaker 11 It's a great safe.

Speaker 34 We put the things in our Liberty Safe as well.

Speaker 56 Do your homework like all of us did.

Speaker 43 The customer service is number one.

Speaker 35 They're all built here in America.

Speaker 40 And they look great.

Speaker 23 I love this piece of furniture.

Speaker 105 They love it.

Speaker 69 They're all

Speaker 31 they're really nice safes.

Speaker 71 I need about 20.

Speaker 12 LibertySafe, go to libertysafe.com and use the promo code back for what?

Speaker 23 I was just going to say,

Speaker 23 I have nothing to put in in there. I just want 26.

Speaker 5 LibertySafe.com, use the promo code Beck.

Speaker 115 Mercury.

Speaker 115 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 31 888-727-BECK 888-727-BEC.

Speaker 53 I was talking to a guy who

Speaker 34 called the Asian contagion back in the 90s, then called in 2006, the bubble of eight,

Speaker 16 and asked him, you know, how do you feel about what's happening now?

Speaker 117 Tell me about the stock market.

Speaker 71 And he said, it's way overpriced.

Speaker 66 And I said, I'm talking to stockbrokers and they say it's, and he said, of course they're saying that.

Speaker 33 He said, but every good thing that could possibly happen with donald trump has been baked in a big tax cut a repeal of sarbane oxley i noticed congressman massey just blew by the sarbanes oxley it's actually

Speaker 74 it's a really big deal you repeal that

Speaker 31 You repeal that, and money is available now through financial institutions that they're spending on regulation.

Speaker 74 However, everybody has already baked that in.

Speaker 50 Every corporation, everybody has baked in all of these things happening.

Speaker 67 So if they don't, if one of them, if the tax cut isn't as big as

Speaker 23 thought, or the stock rates will come down,

Speaker 86 they start to not do some of these things, then

Speaker 59 all those,

Speaker 39 that stock, that jump from what, 17 to 21 goes away.

Speaker 23 Right.

Speaker 26 And there's no reason for them not to do these things.

Speaker 90 They've got the power.

Speaker 67 They've got the numbers. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 8 Get it done.

Speaker 16 How many times do we have to go through this?

Speaker 37 And we always make the same excuse.

Speaker 6 We did it under George W. Bush.
Yeah.

Speaker 36 Well, now, wait a minute.

Speaker 23 We don't have to.

Speaker 67 I don't want to steamroll the minority.

Speaker 23 Look what they did.

Speaker 82 So they don't want it.

Speaker 74 Look what they did.

Speaker 23 Steamrolled the minority.

Speaker 24 It is March 3rd, however. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, we're only, what, six weeks into this?

Speaker 43 I have very little confidence in the Republicans in Congress and the Senate.

Speaker 34 Let's see them go to work.

Speaker 14 Do it.

Speaker 12 See them go to work.

Speaker 10 Do it.

Speaker 31 Back in just a second. Texas history, final chapter.

Speaker 31 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 114 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 10 There were two men. that made an enormous impact in the history of the Republic and the state of Texas in just the very short time that they each had there.
The men Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.

Speaker 10 Davy Crockett was born in 1796. He was hardworking and an adventurous kid from an early age.

Speaker 10 He was just about 12 years old when his father indentured him out to Jacob Seiler to help pay huge debts that his father had built up. Seiler took young Davy on a 400-mile cattle drive to Virginia.

Speaker 10 When he finished, the 12-year-old Davy made his way all the way back home on his own.

Speaker 10 Upon his return, his father enrolled him in school where he got into a fight with another student and he skipped school the next day. And when his father found out, he set out to whip Davey.

Speaker 10 But Davey outran his father and just kept going, joining another cattle drive. He would find work on various cattle drives and as a ranch hand out on his own over the next four years.

Speaker 10 At 16, he wondered if dad had finally put the belt away. He returned home to Tennessee.

Speaker 116 When Davy got back to the tavern,

Speaker 116 it was nighttime and the evening meal was being served to the herders and teamsters.

Speaker 116 He moved unannounced into the tavern and sat down amidst the other men.

Speaker 114 I had been gone so long and had grown so much that the family did not at first know me.

Speaker 114 And another and perhaps a stronger reason was they had no thought or expectation of me, for they had all long given me up for finally lost

Speaker 105 davy crockett

Speaker 113 so he got inside a tavern sat amongst the other travelers at the same table with the family finally one of his sisters looked at him recognized his features and discovered she had just found her long-lost brother david After staying to work off more of his father's debts for two other debtors, Crockett set out on his own again, this time for good.

Speaker 10 Soon after leaving his family, Crockett met and married the love of his life, Polly Finley. David and Polly started their family and moved around the state frequently.

Speaker 10 Then, during the War of 1812, war broke out in parts of the South with the Indians who had sided with the British.

Speaker 10 And at an outpost called Fort Mims, the Creek Indians, supplied by the British, massacred 400 men, women, and children. This incensed the citizens of Tennessee and surrounding states.

Speaker 10 So, Crockett, and of course, many others, joined the fight.

Speaker 114 The warriors came yelling on and continued till they were within shot of us. And we fired and killed a considerable number of them.
They broke and ran across our line where they were fired on.

Speaker 114 And so we kept them running under heavy fire until we had killed upwards of 400 of them.

Speaker 114 Davy Crockett.

Speaker 10 Davy Crockett became an instant hero.

Speaker 116 Davy took his new family west

Speaker 116 to Lawrence County, Tennessee, and settled along fast-moving Shoal Creek.

Speaker 116 The Patton family was a prosperous one, and Elizabeth had some money.

Speaker 116 And Davy used this inheritance to set up a grist mill.

Speaker 10 Crockett would eventually be elected to three terms in the United States Congress, representing his district in Tennessee. And he took his duties seriously.

Speaker 10 To him, taxpayer funds were sacred and they weren't to be used in any way outside of the constitutionally mandated ways. Can you even imagine somebody actually believing that?

Speaker 10 He was so committed to the principle that he even voted no on an act to Congress that would give $100,000 in federal funds to the widow of one of the biggest heroes in American history, Navy Commodore Stephen Decatur.

Speaker 10 Decatur was revered in the United States and helping his widow after he was killed in a duel by another Navy Commodore was wildly popular. Crockett wouldn't cave in to popular opinion.

Speaker 10 His no vote was so unpopular with his constituents that he lost his bid to be elected to a fourth term and had to be sent home to Tennessee, where he famously proclaimed, since you've chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you can all go to hell.

Speaker 10 I'm going to Texas.

Speaker 10 By the way, Decatur had left his wife with a fortune of $75,000, which is the equivalent of $1.8 million today.

Speaker 10 And that's before Congress gave her $100,000, which would have more than doubled her fortune. Crockett left with 30 others the next day, bound for Texas.

Speaker 10 Initially, his intent was to scout out a place to bring his wife and children to live, but upon his arrival, his fame preceded him and he was met by crowds of admirers.

Speaker 10 Crockett was quickly caught up in the cause of Texas independence and he swore an oath to the new provisional Texas government.

Speaker 10 Always up for a good fight, he decided to join Colonel William Travis in San Antonio at the Alamo.

Speaker 97 During the 13-day siege, Colonel Travis wrote that Crockett was everywhere in the Alamo, animating the men to do their duty.

Speaker 10 It was also reported that he killed at least five Mexicans in succession as each of them tried unsuccessfully to reach a Mexican cannon that was right outside the Alamo, each of them trying to fire it.

Speaker 10 Accounts from the few survivors of the Alamo on how Crockett died during the final battle vary.

Speaker 10 Susanna Dickinson said that Crockett died while firing at the oncoming Mexicans from outside of the Alamo.

Speaker 10 Travis's slave, a man named Joe, the only male Texan to survive the slaughter, claimed that Crockett died in a room inside the Alamo, surrounded by 16 dead Mexicans that he had killed with his rifle, pistol, and knives.

Speaker 10 But whatever the truth about the way Davy Crockett lost his life on March 6, 1836, like the state itself, he was a legendary larger-than-life figure.

Speaker 10 Another larger-than-life figure, a native Kentuckian, Jim Bowie, also sealed his fate at the Alamo.

Speaker 10 In 1814, at the age of 18, Jim and his brother headed to New Orleans to answer Andrew Jackson's call to fight the British in the War of 1812. But by the time that they arrived, the fighting was over.

Speaker 10 But Jim decided to stay in Louisiana. In 1819, he joined an expedition to liberate Texas from Spain.

Speaker 99 No, not Mexico, Spain.

Speaker 10 And arriving in Nacogdoches, Texas, they encountered very little resistance and declared Texas an independent republic.

Speaker 10 They went home to Louisiana before the Spanish troops arrived to reclaim the area. Bowie had become nationally famous while attending a duel between two doctors in Mississippi.

Speaker 10 He was there as a friend and an ally of one of the the doctors, and the sheriff of the Louisiana township where he lived, Norris Wright, was an ally of the other doctor.

Speaker 10 Well, Bowie and Wright had been at odds ever since Bowie had supported Wright's opponent for sheriff. The duel began and the doctors fired at each other twice, each missing on both shots.

Speaker 10 So, they dropped their weapons, they met in the middle, and they shook hands.

Speaker 15 However, those gathered to support them and witnessed the duel began an outright brawl.

Speaker 10 Bowie was quickly shot in the hip, but he got up, drew his massive soon-to-be nine and a quarter inch long, one and a half inch wide knife.

Speaker 10 He charged his attacker who hit Bowie over the head with his empty pistol, breaking the pistol and knocking Bowie to the ground.

Speaker 10 Sheriff Wright joined the effort and shot at Bowie while he was laying on the ground, but he missed, and Bowie returned fire, hitting Wright.

Speaker 10 Wright then drew his sword cane and rammed it through Bowie's chest, impaling him.

Speaker 10 As Wright attempted to retrieve his blade by placing his foot on Bowie's chest and yanking it out, the badly wounded Bowie pulled him down to the ground with him and disemboweled Wright with his huge, what we now call, a Bowie knife.

Speaker 10 Wright died instantly and Bowie, with Wright's sword still protruding from his chest, was shot again and stabbed by another member of the group.

Speaker 10 Incredibly, somehow or another, the doctors who had started the whole thing by deciding to duel in the first place removed the bullets and patched Bowie's other wounds.

Speaker 10 Shortly after the now famous sandbar fight, Jim Bowie, now 35 years old, headed for Texas.

Speaker 10 There, he recuperated from the multiple serious wounds that he had received, and while mending, he met and married the 19-year-old daughter of the vice governor of Texas.

Speaker 10 They moved into her parents' San Antonio Palace and had two children. While Bowie was away on a business trip, he heard that there was a cholera outbreak in Texas.

Speaker 10 Fearing that it would hit San Antonio, he sent his wife and his children to his parents' estate in Monclovia, Mexico, as the epidemic was headed to San Antonio.

Speaker 10 Sadly and ironically, the entire family fell victim to the cholera epidemic in Monclovia, and all of them, including her parents, died.

Speaker 10 This tragedy sent Bowie into an alcoholic frenzy and was the beginning of ill health for him.

Speaker 10 With Mexico clamping down and oppressing Texans, Bowie decided to join the fight for independence and defend the Alamo. He and Colonel William Travis were in command.

Speaker 10 However, during the 13-day siege, Bowie became gravely ill and bedridden. When the Mexicans stormed the mission, He is said to have emptied his guns into the soldiers who entered his room.

Speaker 10 Laying in his bed, leaning up against the wall, finally, out of ammo, the Mexican soldiers got through and bayoneted James Bowie.

Speaker 10 This is a time where I guess men were men and things were crazy.

Speaker 10 These are just a few of the people and the events that we have shared in this last serial that have made Texas the unique liberty-minded haven that it is.

Speaker 10 There has always been a sense of pride and independence and a little bit of fight in the residents there. Today, Texas has its very own electrical grid.

Speaker 10 It boasts the 11th largest economy in the world, and having no state income tax may be part of the reason that more Fortune 500 companies are based in Texas than anywhere else in the nation.

Speaker 10 Unlike other states that have been devoured by the federal government, over 90% of the land in Texas is still privately owned.

Speaker 10 Texas' freedom and economic success have made it America's growing state at over 28 million residents and counting. Three of the top five fastest growing cities, Houston, Dallas, and Austin.

Speaker 10 And over the past 20 years, more than 4 million Californians have made the move to Texas. Those of us in Texas still aren't sure that's a good thing.
The spirit of Sam Houston, Stephen F.

Speaker 10 Austin, Davey Crockett, and Jim Bowie, alive and well, and pushing the residents of the state to continue to fight for independence and freedom.

Speaker 1 Glenn Beck.

Speaker 23 Mark. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 40 Mark my words. By the way, you want to hear the whole serial, go to glennbeck.com slash serials.

Speaker 56 Mark my words.

Speaker 56 The downfall of Texas is going to come from Austin.

Speaker 51 It is going to come from that, because that's where the that's where Californians are really flocking.

Speaker 52 And they always take over the state capitol.

Speaker 67 And it's the one like-minded city in Texas, really, for California.

Speaker 69 Austin is, I'm going down there for South by Southwest in, I don't know, a week.

Speaker 69 And

Speaker 40 there are a lot of libertarians there.

Speaker 72 So that is possibly helpful.

Speaker 74 But

Speaker 29 it's a great city.

Speaker 22 Yeah, it is.

Speaker 26 But 4 million Californians bringing California mentality to Texas is

Speaker 40 not helpful at all. Not helpful at all.

Speaker 56 Now this, by the way, we have to, on the other side, we have to talk about Jim Bowie.

Speaker 34 That is the greatest story.

Speaker 23 He's phenomenal. He is a phenomenal

Speaker 26 story.

Speaker 50 He is the Navy SEAL.

Speaker 32 He is SEAL Team Six all in one man.

Speaker 57 Amazing.

Speaker 43 Now this, we've been telling you about a new way to buy travel, and it is upside.com.

Speaker 31 My senior vice president of sales recently got on to upside.com.

Speaker 43 In less than two minutes, they gave him a choice of several options for his flight and his hotel in Phoenix.

Speaker 15 The option he selected got him $145 gift card and saved the company $300.

Speaker 52 You can spend way too much time.

Speaker 29 Average business traveler spends about 83 or 87 minutes online trying to book travel and hotel.

Speaker 26 Don't. You can do it in five minutes.

Speaker 86 Don't spend and waste all that time to get a great travel deal.

Speaker 52 You can get the best travel deal at upside.com.

Speaker 31 They bundle your flight and hotel together for one low price, and that saves you money, the bundling, especially on business travel. And they'll give you the free Amazon gift card.

Speaker 39 So here's the deal: my SVP got a $145 gift card himself, saved the company $300.

Speaker 73 Why wouldn't you do this?

Speaker 30 I can't find the downside, only the upside at upside.com.

Speaker 43 Upside.com.

Speaker 107 This is the Glenn Veck program.

Speaker 107 Mercury.

Speaker 23 You're listening to the Glenn Veck program.

Speaker 36 Cut one.

Speaker 5 We have

Speaker 27 Rand Paul.

Speaker 50 Rand Paul talking about the missing Obamacare repeal.

Speaker 44 Listen to Rand Paul.

Speaker 106 I think what they're putting forward is Obamacare Light. It has a new entitlement program in there, which we're having trouble affording what we have now without creating a new entitlement program.

Speaker 106 It has a Cadillac tax, similar to the Obamacare bill. I thought we were for repealing the Obamacare taxes, not keeping them.
And then it also has the individual mandate.

Speaker 106 Instead of paying a penalty to the government, if you don't get insurance, you'll pay a penalty to the insurance company when you go to buy insurance.

Speaker 106 But it's an individual mandate, just simply different.

Speaker 106 And what I object to in the House leadership bill is I think these are Democrat ideas dressed up in Republican clothing.

Speaker 23 Thank you.

Speaker 94 So

Speaker 79 listen to what he said when he went and tried to find the bill.

Speaker 59 It's amazing.

Speaker 106 You know, we were looking for the Obamacare repeal bill.

Speaker 100 No, no, no, no, that's a good thing. We've been talking about it for six years.

Speaker 23 We thought we that's the same one?

Speaker 56 That's the same cut you just did.

Speaker 71 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 106 I think what they're putting forward is Obamacare light.

Speaker 11 Oh, no.

Speaker 23 Yeah, you're right. You were right.

Speaker 82 I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Speaker 118 Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 106 My fault. You know, we were looking for the Obamacare repeal bill.
We've been talking about it for six years. We thought we ought to see it.

Speaker 106 So we heard it was in a secret room and that it was under lock and key with guards.

Speaker 106 And sure enough, when we got there, there were policemen posted at the door, and we were not allowed to see the Obamacare repeal bill. Wow.
We know it exists.

Speaker 106 It's probably hundreds of pages long, and we didn't get to see it. And we're upset about that.

Speaker 106 In my state, in Kentucky, it's against the law to have closed meetings where the public's not allowed to see the process of the bills.

Speaker 59 Is that not incredible?

Speaker 67 Well, you're not in Kentucky anymore, Toto.

Speaker 93 Thank you.

Speaker 23 Thank you.

Speaker 51 By the way, thanks to Michael Opelka from Pure Opelka for

Speaker 41 sending that to us.

Speaker 35 You can hear Michael Opelka on weekends on the Blaze.

Speaker 105 Yeah, you can hear Michael Opelka Monday through Friday.

Speaker 23 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 11 Evenings. Oh, yeah, that's right.
That's right. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 23 If you're on weekends, we're going to step with Jeffy show.

Speaker 24 Yeah, which is listening to you.

Speaker 6 Pure Opelka on nights now on the Blaze. I forgot we expanded.
That's right.

Speaker 14 Meanwhile, welcome back, Rand Paul.

Speaker 23 Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 23 The Glen Beck program.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on Demand.

Speaker 20 Oh man, there is an argument starting up right now. We're trying to take gender identity seriously.

Speaker 14 The cat won't hear about it.

Speaker 6 There's a huge controversy. I'm not making this up.

Speaker 5 Garfield, the cat, male or female?

Speaker 6 Don't know. How does the cat identify?

Speaker 107 Don't know.

Speaker 67 We do know. We know darn good and well.

Speaker 95 It was a boy.

Speaker 31 How do you know that?

Speaker 10 Because it was a boy.

Speaker 95 How do you know that? Did you ever see him?

Speaker 93 You ever hear him?

Speaker 23 You listen to him?

Speaker 23 Oh, okay.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 24 So there's a certain certain way men sound as opposed to women yes uh well jim davis said by virtue of being a cat really he's not really male or female or any particular race or nationality young or old oh geez well

Speaker 76 but by being a cat

Speaker 6 cats don't have gender as we cats do have no they do not have gender no they do they don't they don't both give birth and they don't both give milk.

Speaker 107 After all, it is a cartoon.

Speaker 3 One is the.

Speaker 47 Now, saying that, that he's a cartoon cat,

Speaker 41 I would say that's true. But,

Speaker 117 boy, is that incredible.

Speaker 24 Well, Jim Davis did clarify and ended the controversy finally that had actually been raging for months.

Speaker 23 I know, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 24 Quote, Garfield is male.

Speaker 23 Thank you.

Speaker 23 Somebody who took a stand.

Speaker 6 Somebody who actually took a stand. All right, we're going to talk about MS-13, some horrible stuff that's happening in Houston you need to know about.

Speaker 3 And Louie Gomert joins us right now.

Speaker 3 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice.
I will hold your hand. Cause we have won.
I will beat my drum. I have made my choice.
We will overcome.

Speaker 3 Cause we are one.

Speaker 3 The fusion of entertainment.

Speaker 1 and enlightenment.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 6 Good friend of the program and good friend of mine, Louis Gomert, joins us now.

Speaker 22 Really, truly one of the good guys in Congress from the great state of Texas.

Speaker 62 But Louis, I have to tell you, I was watching the State of the Union, and you were practically licking the president's face.

Speaker 23 That's a fact.

Speaker 2 Glenn, you got to understand that, you know, that night of the election, I already come to grips. You know, the U.S.

Speaker 2 Commission on Civil Rights says, you know, that Christians are the biggest hate group threatening America, in essence.

Speaker 2 And, you know, you had Hillary who wants to make it a crime to say anything negative about radical Islam. And, you know, Red Lynch, we're in favor of a crime to question man-made global warming.

Speaker 23 No, I understand, but let's not lick the president's.

Speaker 2 I told Kathy that night, look, if this does, I think Trump's got a better chance of saying, but if it doesn't go well, I'm probably going to be in jail within four years because I'm going to be part of the Christian-loving group that they say is hateful, up as down, right as well.

Speaker 2 So, anyway, so it's just been such a relief that she didn't replace Scalia. I really don't know the judge he's appointed.

Speaker 2 I don't know how that's going to go, you know, if he's confirmed, but I'm still relieved.

Speaker 49 And okay, so Lily, let me get to some people in a lot of trouble uh we're still in a mess glynn right i know so i love you had thomas massey on while i go he is truly a great guy so let me

Speaker 72 let me ask you let me ask you a couple of questions first of all uh let's start with obamacare i understand that obamacare is uh the repeal is locked in some room according to ran paul uh and nobody can see it

Speaker 2 i don't know where it is but i haven't gotten a chance to see it. And there were a few of us that pointed out this week again in our conference.
Look, you remember 2010

Speaker 2 when we all said if you give us the majority, we will read the bill.

Speaker 2 But I got to tell you, back three years ago, right before Boehner went out, he demanded to know how many were going to vote for a bill. And I got up and said, I've got to see the bill.
And

Speaker 2 we were supposed to vote on Thursday. This was Tuesday.

Speaker 2 and probably half of the conference booed me for saying i can't tell you if i'll vote for it i got to see it and so it's it's an amazing battle and then you got these indivisible people out there saying i'm a coward they have no idea what it is to stand up well in fact massey told me that in after the november 2012 conference when i stood up and nominated newt just trying to get somebody besides boehner i didn't even have a second.

Speaker 2 Thomas said, Yeah, Bridenstine and I were talking, you got to be the craziest guy in all of Congress. And then within six months, we were going, He's the only really smart guy in Congress.

Speaker 2 We had no idea.

Speaker 23 So, Louis, anyway,

Speaker 23 we've got a problem.

Speaker 36 Are you?

Speaker 53 Is it true that you've been asked to be a part of the caucus? And

Speaker 79 are you going to become a part of the Freedom Caucus?

Speaker 2 Yes, yeah. I was initially

Speaker 2 hesitant for you know to to even asking or I've been asked, but they had a rule that if 80% agreed on a position, that 100% had to vote that way. Well, I don't give my card to anybody, not

Speaker 2 nobody. And that was my big holdup.
But Jim Jordan and

Speaker 2 Mark Meadows have assured me that if it's something, you know, that...

Speaker 2 People like me have a real bum on, they won't take an official position and that

Speaker 2 you get a couple of passes even then. But if it comes down to it, well, and probably most of the Freedom Caucus voted for Boehner.

Speaker 2 And if 80%,

Speaker 2 if there had been a Freedom Caucus in January of 2015, then, and I'd been part of it, then under that original rule, I wouldn't have been able to vote against Boehner.

Speaker 2 And getting 24 votes against him cast the die that he wasn't going to make it two years before he'd be gone. But on Obamacare, let me tell you, Glenn,

Speaker 2 they keep,

Speaker 2 some of our leaders keep telling

Speaker 2 the Trump administration, we can't repeal it like, you know, originally was thought because we're doing it under reconciliation. But, Glenn, 2015, nobody was saying that.

Speaker 2 And so many of us have been saying, just pass the 2015 bill. We did that under reconciliation.

Speaker 23 So why aren't we doing it, Louis?

Speaker 39 What is happening?

Speaker 39 I don't know.

Speaker 2 I keep asking, is it because the rumor is true that we have Republican leaders that see the money that comes in from all the penalties and taxes and fees and half a trillion dollars is just too much to let get away from us?

Speaker 2 I'd heard that rumor, but I don't know. It doesn't make sense.
But let me tell you, you know, you and I have been talking about this for years. We have had a few chances to get rid of it.

Speaker 2 And under Boehner, we wouldn't do what potentially would eliminate it. One, for example,

Speaker 2 it didn't originate in the House. And the Constitution says, you know, all bills that raise revenue have to originate in the House.

Speaker 2 So what the Senate did, since they knew that, they took Bill 3590 that was a first-time tax tax credit for first-time homebuyers who are veterans in the military, and they stripped out, it was like 25 pages, so stripped out every word in the title, and all they left was the number.

Speaker 2 So that truly didn't originate in the House.

Speaker 2 And there were lawyers that filed suits to bring it down, and they had contacted me, people like Joe Schmidt, and said, Louie, if you guys could just pass a resolution saying it's the sense of the House.

Speaker 2 that 3590 Obamacare did not originate in the House, the number was not enough to say it originated, Then we can take that into court, use it as solid evidence.

Speaker 2 It doesn't require a vote by the Senate or President Obama signing. And this should give us a slam dub.

Speaker 23 Okay, so Louis, we have.

Speaker 23 We wouldn't even take that vote. We wouldn't even take that vote.

Speaker 50 I know. So what I'm asking,

Speaker 18 so wait, what I'm asking you is: President Trump campaigned on saying that he would have universal health care.

Speaker 51 Is it the GOP or is it coming from the White House that says, we're not dismantling this.

Speaker 26 We want universal health care?

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 2 the way I understood what Trump had said is, you know, yes, he wanted to completely repeal it. And then Sean

Speaker 2 would follow up and ask leading questions. He would say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we want to repeal it.

Speaker 2 But then he would say, but we want insurance for everybody. Well, who's going to pay for it? Well, the government.
Well, that caused a lot of us a lot of grief.

Speaker 2 But I don't get the impression this is coming from the White House. I get the impression they're telling him we're going to do what we repeal what we can when we need to get rid of it.

Speaker 2 And I keep hearing people say

Speaker 2 we've got to be able to buy across state lines. Well, that'll help for a little while, some, but you know the way market forces are.

Speaker 2 If you're in California paying huge premiums and you buy a Texas policy, your policy from Texas will be cheaper. But as you pay higher claims, the Texas policies are going to go up.

Speaker 2 The most important thing we've got to do, and we finally took it up in the judiciary, and now I hope and pray they'll bring it to the floor, is to eliminate the exemption that health insurance companies have from the antitrust laws.

Speaker 2 They're allowed to monopolize. Well, as I've said in conference a number of times, and Massey and a number of people have pointed out, look,

Speaker 2 if we don't eliminate the exemption under

Speaker 2 McCarran Ferguson, then you won't have 50 monopolies like we currently do. You'll have one.
And there won't be a free market. You have got to force them to comply with antitrust laws.

Speaker 2 So that's a biggie that we have got to have pressure on Congress to make sure we do that. That's more important than buying across state lines.
But it's, you know, this battle isn't over.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we got the House and the Senate and the White House, but I'm glad you're bringing it up because if the pressure doesn't continue, then we're going to have a pretty wimpy so-called repeal.

Speaker 2 And you know that's going to be devastating, and we could still end up with single payer. And by the way, you were talking to Thomas about the trillion dollars.

Speaker 2 You know, I go back to Afghanistan because Thomas brought that up. We talked about $100 billion over there for infrastructure, not just fighting the war.

Speaker 2 But in 2001, in October, when we realized that's where the Taliban was, they helped plan this thing,

Speaker 2 we provided the Northern Alliance weapons. We gave them bombers flying overhead.
We had about 300 special ops in there. We didn't lose a single American.

Speaker 2 And by the end of February, the Taliban was gone. There was no organized Taliban.
And then we start moving toward that trillion dollars of spending over there

Speaker 2 by becoming occupiers. We won the war, but we lost the occupation.

Speaker 2 And now we're just throwing good money after bad.

Speaker 5 Okay.

Speaker 104 Louis, I appreciate all the hard work that you're doing in Congress.

Speaker 35 Louis Gomert, thanks for the update on Obamacare and

Speaker 75 fight hard.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 keep pushing this because we're not out of the woods by a long shot.

Speaker 46 Okay. Thank you, sir.

Speaker 29 Appreciate it. Louis Gomert

Speaker 10 from the great state of Texas.

Speaker 45 Who is licking the president's face on Tuesdays?

Speaker 23 night?

Yeah. I mean, so who doesn't have $3,500 laying around in a jar or something?

Speaker 23 You know, that you've got.

Speaker 30 I mean, you find that sometimes, you know, you save enough quarters, eventually you're going to have $3,500.

Speaker 23 Right.

Speaker 11 Right.

Speaker 42 If I had a dollar for every time I had $3,500 just laying around,

Speaker 36 I'd have no dollars.

Speaker 31 But anyway, SimplySafe, Home Security, now has their security cameras.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 23 888727 back.

Speaker 23 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 6 All right, let's talk about what happened in Houston.

Speaker 65 MS-13, in case you don't know, is one of the worst gangs anywhere.

Speaker 36 Take the Chinese mob and the Russian mob and combine them, you have MS-13.

Speaker 67 They originated in El Salvador and they're incredibly brutal. I mean, they're ISIS brutal.

Speaker 67 They're bad, bad guys. And it's been a problem in the southern states.

Speaker 95 But the fact is, they've spread throughout the country.

Speaker 119 They're in like 28 different states now.

Speaker 109 So it's not just a border problem anymore.

Speaker 23 What a surprise. Well, yeah, no, I mean,

Speaker 17 according to

Speaker 13 officials here in the U.S., it's the largest criminal organization.

Speaker 5 It's the largest criminal organization in the U.S.

Speaker 59 So

Speaker 31 this is one of the people.

Speaker 29 These are some of the people that help people get across the border.

Speaker 69 And

Speaker 26 you have an indentured servant.

Speaker 103 You'll have a parent who will be trying to get across the border.

Speaker 29 And MS-13 will approach and say, well, we'll help you.

Speaker 29 Otherwise, we're going to kill your family, but you're going to owe us for this favor.

Speaker 56 And they put them up in northern states, and then those people are doing some of the really bad, dirty work for

Speaker 66 MSNBC, MS-13.

Speaker 95 So these two

Speaker 67 illegal immigrant gang members from MS-13 in Houston kidnapped two girls and brought them to their Houston apartment.

Speaker 67 This is so reminiscent of what happened in 1993. Yep.

Speaker 16 And they received the death penalty, and George Bush fought against it.

Speaker 67 Right. It was the Medellin.
Yep. Does that sound familiar? Yep.
And they were trying to give him the death penalty.

Speaker 67 Bush joined Mexico to protest and wound up losing, thank goodness, and he was executed. But

Speaker 67 in the same circumstances, illegal alien MS-13 gang members doing it, in this case, a satanic ritual

Speaker 67 murdered another.

Speaker 67 They don't even know how old she was because they can't identify her because she was so badly

Speaker 67 messed up.

Speaker 67 So she was somewhere between 14 and 25.

Speaker 67 And apparently she fought them. when they kidnapped her and she knocked over their satanic ritual.
And the guy said, so now

Speaker 67 the evil one demands a soul sacrifice.

Speaker 119 So they took her out and killed her.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 85 After she'd been raped repeatedly.

Speaker 90 Horrible.

Speaker 67 And tortured. Then they shot her in the head, the neck, the torso.

Speaker 67 And so it's happened all over again.

Speaker 23 And they're doing court all over again.

Speaker 13 They were in court yesterday, laughing.

Speaker 59 I mean, no, they were in court. They were doing that laughing.

Speaker 93 They were doing smiling, same stuff.

Speaker 90 The other guys were doing that.

Speaker 50 No, these guys are Charlie Manson,

Speaker 59 but they're organized Charlie Nansen.

Speaker 42 It's all over the country. These are really bad guys.

Speaker 88 These guys, the same

Speaker 88 group, MS-13, in Long Island, I mean, there's 13 members right now that are going in front of the judge.

Speaker 13 They face offenses including seven murder charges, racketeering, attempted murder, assault, obstruction of justice, arson.

Speaker 13 That's just a tad of what they do.

Speaker 105 And that's in Long Island.

Speaker 67 And by the way, these guys are of the age to be the so-called dreamers that we always hear.

Speaker 23 Yes, they are.

Speaker 90 These could be the dreamers.

Speaker 15 Most of these are illegals, right?

Speaker 23 They're all illegals. They're all illegals.

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 66 This is one of the things that

Speaker 40 one of the things that Operation Underground Railroad is working on.

Speaker 45 We're asking for your help and your donation.

Speaker 35 It helps stop things, and they're things that we can't get into on the air, but it helps stop

Speaker 29 some of these situations where people are kidnapping children.

Speaker 8 And in fact,

Speaker 29 I'm going overseas again.

Speaker 22 Again, we don't tell you some of the things that are happening around here

Speaker 45 because it's extraordinarily dangerous.

Speaker 31 So just

Speaker 16 understand.

Speaker 69 But we're going over to Uganda to stop this very thing from happening.

Speaker 39 These cults, these satanic cults,

Speaker 31 are kidnapping children and then using them as child sacrifice.

Speaker 16 And

Speaker 35 we're going over there, I think, in the next couple of months to

Speaker 56 try to stop that and to free

Speaker 71 some of these kids.

Speaker 100 Good.

Speaker 118 It's bad what's happening.

Speaker 8 Bad what's happening.

Speaker 57 And

Speaker 23 this is all swept under the rug.

Speaker 31 People should have known about MS-13.

Speaker 62 I can guarantee you.

Speaker 31 Most people in America don't know about MS-13.

Speaker 22 And it is all over America. And

Speaker 103 when we were talking under George W.

Speaker 99 Bush, I remember Pat and I saying, if we don't get the border under control,

Speaker 29 these guys are going to start, they were only in Texas.

Speaker 22 They're going to start moving north.

Speaker 9 And now they're in New York. They're Long Island.

Speaker 22 They're all over the country.

Speaker 57 And it's because we have an open border.

Speaker 67 And we do nothing about those that are here illegally because we, well, they're here.

Speaker 39 So now we have to take care of them.

Speaker 41 And that's why they laugh in court, because they think that they can just usurp all of our laws.

Speaker 23 Well, they're not all over.

Speaker 13 According to the government, they have a presence in 46 states and the district.

Speaker 95 Oh, it's only 46 now.

Speaker 105 And

Speaker 13 D.C., so that's it.

Speaker 33 Oh.

Speaker 53 Well, that's no big deal. Right.

Speaker 14 When we first started warning, they were only in one state.

Speaker 25 Yeah. So unbelievable.

Speaker 41 It's not like it's spreading like a plague.

Speaker 41 The Glenbeck Program.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 23 The Glenbeck Program.

Speaker 20 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 29 Pat gets me all excited about this Green River.

Speaker 22 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 61 I look it up. It's in Catalonia.

Speaker 68 I don't even know where Catalonia is.

Speaker 11 You don't care about it just because I don't know in America.

Speaker 11 Right. I see.
I'm an American.

Speaker 23 I know, me too.

Speaker 22 I mean...

Speaker 109 I care about people elsewhere.

Speaker 69 No, you don't.

Speaker 23 No, you don't.

Speaker 30 Pat tells me, you know, I said, what?

Speaker 39 Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 99 What is it caused by?

Speaker 117 He said, it's a plant.

Speaker 92 And I'm like, what?

Speaker 92 An automobile plant?

Speaker 46 No, no.

Speaker 11 It's a bottling plant.

Speaker 23 A bottling plant. A water bottling plant.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Automotive plants are.

Speaker 92 What exactly?

Speaker 23 It's fluorescent green.

Speaker 59 Oh, yeah. No, it's spooky green.

Speaker 50 It's amazing.

Speaker 50 So, can I ask you what

Speaker 22 they're putting in the water?

Speaker 36 I'd love to know. Are they putting in the bottle?

Speaker 95 They say

Speaker 93 the plant says it's entirely harmless, non-toxic, and biodegradable.

Speaker 23 Oh,

Speaker 23 what is

Speaker 23 it? They don't say the green dye was intentionally red to the river.

Speaker 88 So it's entirely harmless.

Speaker 95 It was intentionally added?

Speaker 23 What the mayor said?

Speaker 24 St. Patrick's Day every year.

Speaker 23 It could not be on the tank.

Speaker 46 Yeah, right.

Speaker 22 But I mean, hang on.

Speaker 67 Because this says the Emerald Green Tint was not an early early celebration of St. Patrick's Day, as seen in Chicago every March.

Speaker 88 No, they're saying that they put the dye in to help identify another contamination.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 11 Okay. All right.

Speaker 4 Here's one in France.

Speaker 5 I guess several rivers are turning this way in France.

Speaker 30 Is Catalonia survived?

Speaker 30 I don't know. It says this.

Speaker 62 At least rivers in 12.

Speaker 25 departments around France have all fallen to the same mysterious fate.

Speaker 5 The rivers are turning fluorescent green in recent days.

Speaker 79 The move, however, is not some kind of pollution.

Speaker 29 It is the work of environmental workers in a bid to wait, oh my gosh, to raise awareness about a lack of funding in their sector.

Speaker 31 This action is an alarm signal.

Speaker 23 What?

Speaker 52 Wow, that we want to alert the public about the need to preserve and strengthen this public service.

Speaker 22 We've got to create some jobs.

Speaker 101 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 52 So, how do they get the brilliant green color?

Speaker 55 We used colorant

Speaker 9 called

Speaker 99 fluorescent fluorescene it's totally harmless it's to show the path pollution takes in water it's a strong visible a visual but it's completely safe the fish don't even notice can you imagine

Speaker 23 you did that say the it's not can't harm the fish it's just a colorant

Speaker 57 oh can you imagine what they would say

Speaker 46 they'd go ape they'd go

Speaker 22 out of their mind.

Speaker 73 Unbelievable.

Speaker 29 Yeah, here it is where it's just starting to be poured into the river.

Speaker 23 Wow.

Speaker 77 I mean,

Speaker 67 that really does an effective job, though.

Speaker 109 This

Speaker 23 color.

Speaker 23 Wow.

Speaker 17 Yes, it does.

Speaker 26 Boy, that's really bad, especially the way this is being reported because it's being reported on, like, what is that?

Speaker 46 Yeah.

Speaker 26 It's downstream from a bottling plant.

Speaker 23 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 67 And they're, yes, they're

Speaker 67 making it out like it's accidental. And it's environmentalists doing it on purpose.

Speaker 22 Unbelievable.

Speaker 109 That's awesome.

Speaker 40 Unbelievable.

Speaker 74 Hey, are you guys going to go see the movie

Speaker 100 The Shack this weekend?

Speaker 8 Anybody going to see that?

Speaker 24 You really raved about it.

Speaker 53 I think it's great.

Speaker 24 You said it was one of the best movies you've ever seen that was faith-based, right?

Speaker 8 Yeah, it's in the category. I mean, you have to go with this in mind.

Speaker 69 You know, Lord of the Rings and

Speaker 31 so Tolkien and C.S.

Speaker 41 Lewis had to do, you know, they had a bet who's going to make the best Christian-based movie

Speaker 56 that will really get the message out.

Speaker 35 He wrote Lion Witch of the Wardrobe, and Tolkien wrote.

Speaker 67 And Tolkien thought that was way too obvious and overt.

Speaker 42 Correct.

Speaker 26 And so he wrote Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Speaker 67 Which it's pretty hard to find Jesus in that story.

Speaker 11 I'm really having a hard time.

Speaker 5 No, seriously, can you tell me?

Speaker 67 I mean, it's obviously a battle of good and evil. But

Speaker 67 other than that, I don't get it.

Speaker 7 And C.S.

Speaker 15 Lewis thought that Tolkien had won.

Speaker 75 Tolkien thought that C.S.

Speaker 39 Lewis had won.

Speaker 43 C.S.

Speaker 28 Lewis said Tolkien told the best story for Christ.

Speaker 40 I honestly,

Speaker 22 I don't know.

Speaker 69 I mean, we should look into that.

Speaker 17 We should look at the

Speaker 39 symbols that are hidden there because I can't find them.

Speaker 70 The Shack

Speaker 79 is not a movie that, you know, if you're going to go from, let's say, you're going from your church meeting and then you're going to go to a church kind of movie and then you're going to go to church afterwards, this is probably not the movie you're going to love.

Speaker 79 But if this is something that, you know,

Speaker 69 you

Speaker 20 are struggling with something in your life, or you just want a good movie, it introduces God into it.

Speaker 86 It's not preachy.

Speaker 50 It's not, it's, it's none of the things that I hate about

Speaker 72 religious movies.

Speaker 62 Now, it's an analogy, and people are having a hard time because God is played by a black woman.

Speaker 22 Oh my gosh, how good God.

Speaker 23 Jesus was a lion in Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, and there was a witch and Santa in that one.

Speaker 70 Somehow or another, we're okay with that

Speaker 29 only because it's C.S. Lewis.
This one, I think, is just tells a great story.

Speaker 25 And, you know,

Speaker 66 I know I go to religious movies with friends who

Speaker 62 are not religious and they have a hard time with those preachy kind of movies that are preaching to the choir.

Speaker 8 This one is out there to find new choir members and it never

Speaker 55 asks for you to do anything.

Speaker 26 It doesn't even ask for you to believe it.

Speaker 87 It just shows a loving God, which I like.

Speaker 87 So

Speaker 31 watch the shack, see it this weekend.

Speaker 57 Um, also,

Speaker 61 isn't Logan out this weekend?

Speaker 100 I think it is. Yeah, people are really raving about it.

Speaker 59 Why is that rated R?

Speaker 23 Uh, that's the first X-Men

Speaker 13 probably the violins.

Speaker 88 I mean,

Speaker 24 it looks like it's much darker than the typical

Speaker 59 well.

Speaker 41 I read, and this is not a spoiler, I don't think, because it was just what I read was just about the, you know, the comic book series.

Speaker 22 Wolverine kills all of the X-Men, right?

Speaker 23 Isn't that how it happened? What? It could possibly be a spoiler.

Speaker 24 Why would you consider that as being a spoiler?

Speaker 34 Well, because I think everybody is dead in this one, isn't it?

Speaker 16 Isn't that the premise?

Speaker 74 Or is it way in the future or something?

Speaker 24 It's 2029. Mutants are gone, or very nearly so.

Speaker 34 Okay, so

Speaker 69 I think what I read, and

Speaker 30 if I, you know, if I just spoil it, I'm sorry. I just read it in

Speaker 23 the worst.

Speaker 24 Regardless of whether you say that.

Speaker 23 They're saying, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 24 It's such a huge thing.

Speaker 18 I know, but they said, hang on just a second.

Speaker 43 They said that

Speaker 79 they hadn't seen the movie either.

Speaker 31 And they said that

Speaker 54 Logan is a very dark character in the comic books.

Speaker 31 And that's why they're suggesting that this one is so dark.

Speaker 22 And they didn't know if he was following the, if they were following the

Speaker 31 path of the comic book on this, because I guess in the end of the comic books or at some point, but why would you do this?

Speaker 99 You don't want to kill the X-Men.

Speaker 24 I don't know. It does say R for strong brutal violence and language throughout and for brief nudity.
So not enough for Jeffy, but a brief little.

Speaker 23 Yeah, but you can sit through it.

Speaker 92 I can sit through brief nudity.

Speaker 23 It's like more.

Speaker 24 Is Hugh Jackman in this one?

Speaker 23 Yes.

Speaker 23 Because on the clipboard scene, it doesn't look like him.

Speaker 23 Well, because I think he's a lot older in this one or something. And it's 2029.

Speaker 24 This is the main description. 2029, mutants are gone, or very nearly so.

Speaker 24 An isolated, despondent Logan is drinking his days away in a hideout on a remote stretch of the Mexican border, picking up petty cash as a driver for hire.

Speaker 23 What is this movie?

Speaker 24 His companions in exile are the outcast Caliban and ailing Professor X, who singular mind is plagued by worsening seizures.

Speaker 24 It sounds like it's going to be

Speaker 62 Hexmen in the nursing home.

Speaker 23 Fun.

Speaker 23 Fun.

Speaker 24 But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy abruptly end when a mysterious woman appears with an urgent request that Logan shepherd an extraordinary young girl to safety.

Speaker 24 Soon the claws come out and Logan must face off against dark forces.

Speaker 95 It's getting incredible reviews.

Speaker 24 I mean, 94%.

Speaker 90 94%.

Speaker 90 That's amazing.

Speaker 5 Of critics or viewers?

Speaker 24 Critics. 95% of audience.

Speaker 49 Wow.

Speaker 22 when you go to see Logan though you love well-reviewed I like Logan as a character I mean I think Marvel has done the best job of any film series

Speaker 67 yeah ever they've done a really good job can you think of anybody else Star Wars sucks most of those suck

Speaker 15 who's done a better job on sequels

Speaker 95 You know,

Speaker 93 the,

Speaker 67 what's his face, J.J. Abrams has done a good job with Star Trek, kind of reinvigorating that series.

Speaker 24 Yeah, and the new Star Wars movies have been very good, I think.

Speaker 119 Yeah, the new ones are good.

Speaker 87 Name the bad Marvel movie.

Speaker 24 I don't like any of them.

Speaker 23 What? Yeah,

Speaker 93 I'm not a fan of that.

Speaker 119 Stu's not into that.

Speaker 24 I mean, which one of the Marvels? Run through him.

Speaker 24 I get him confused with the other company.

Speaker 45 Marvel is all the X-Men.

Speaker 30 Yeah, no.

Speaker 26 Spider-Man?

Speaker 24 Spider-Man, no.

Speaker 23 I think.

Speaker 59 No, Spider-Man is

Speaker 71 not somebody else.

Speaker 118 That's DC Comics at all. Superman? No, that's DC Comics.

Speaker 77 Really? Yeah.

Speaker 71 Never mind. Batman is DC Comics.

Speaker 5 Come to think of it. Pat doesn't like the Marvels either.

Speaker 95 Come to think of it. DC is pretty good.

Speaker 37 No, DC is.

Speaker 50 DC, the problem with DC is they keep rebooting the same stories over and over and over again.

Speaker 105 Yeah, they're trying to.

Speaker 8 You know, this one, when it comes to Marvel, they're releasing them and they're telling the whole story, and it's the same actors and the same theme.

Speaker 16 And, you know, Spider-Man, if I have to see how Spider-Man was bit by the damn spider one more time, I'm going to lose my mind.

Speaker 24 All right, here's Marvel movies, and I know all, I got it, all you people in the audience who are, oh, dare you say that!

Speaker 24 I got it. We know that you're very tribal on your Marvel versus I don't care about any of it.
Here are the movies: Avengers,

Speaker 23 Guardians of the Galaxy.

Speaker 24 Guardians of the Galaxy was great.

Speaker 59 Great. Ant-Man, no thanks.
Oh, Ant-Man was great.

Speaker 24 The Captain America stuff, I haven't liked. I know you loved it.
I like it. I loved it.
It was okay, but you know, Iron Man, I could deal with Iron Man.

Speaker 24 I like Iron Man because he's a capitalist, even though the message of the movie isn't really that capitalism is good. He really doesn't turn good until he turns against capitalism, kind of.

Speaker 24 But I like the fact that a rich guy is just saving the world. Yeah.
That's so out of the norm of these movies.

Speaker 23 The Hulk, The Incredible Hulk.

Speaker 93 I didn't see him like that one.

Speaker 24 Doctor Strange.

Speaker 11 Loved it.

Speaker 46 You like that one a lot.

Speaker 24 More Avengers. Thor, no.

Speaker 23 Oh, Thor is fun. Thor was fun.

Speaker 23 Thor is fun.

Speaker 109 It's not great, but it's fun.

Speaker 24 They are saying amazing Spider-Man's, at least on on this list.

Speaker 119 See, that's what I thought.

Speaker 59 I thought Spider-Man was more X-Men stuff.

Speaker 24 Oh, Deadpool I liked.

Speaker 46 I liked Deadpool.

Speaker 118 I could not get through five minutes of Deadpool. You and me both.

Speaker 23 Really? Yeah, that was good. I couldn't do it.

Speaker 24 Fantastic Four.

Speaker 88 Oof. That was fun.

Speaker 59 But see,

Speaker 59 the Fantastic Four was before

Speaker 9 Marvel got their crap together.

Speaker 11 That's when they were like.

Speaker 67 No,

Speaker 67 that includes this new one, too, which was abysmal.

Speaker 88 I didn't see the new one.

Speaker 23 Abysmal. I mean, really bad.

Speaker 8 Fantastic 4, because Spider-Man, I know they had a deal out with somebody.

Speaker 43 And so I think they're resetting Spider-Man.

Speaker 39 They may have had the same problem with Fantastic Four.

Speaker 62 Before Marvel took charge and said, we're going to do our own movies, they were selling the license out to studios.

Speaker 41 And one of the studios had a license on Spider-Man that was about to flip.

Speaker 74 And so they were like, We've paid all this money for it.

Speaker 105 Quick, make a movie.

Speaker 13 I remember Max told me about this.

Speaker 109 Yeah.

Speaker 118 I'm sorry. Now I'm down to your 40s.

Speaker 23 No, Max.

Speaker 46 No, Max, he's an expert on this stuff. I let him tell me what he knows.

Speaker 29 Yeah, so

Speaker 99 there was a contractual thing on the Spider-Man, and I think they just got Spider-Man back.

Speaker 118 And I bet it was the same on Fantastic Four.

Speaker 55 Because everything I've seen the Marvel Studios make has been great.

Speaker 23 DC,

Speaker 51 you know, even with DC, they did, you know, Superman versus, come on.

Speaker 67 Oh, that one was dumb.

Speaker 24 They also did the Batman versus Superman thing.

Speaker 23 It was awful.

Speaker 95 Oh, our moms had the same name?

Speaker 23 Now we're best as friends. We like each other again.
Now we're best as friends. And then for life.

Speaker 17 And then what happens is we meet Wonder Woman because of that.

Speaker 17 Awful. Do a Wonder Woman movie.

Speaker 36 That would be good.

Speaker 91 Make it stand.

Speaker 24 Well, because I've read at one point during that is that they just really really want the Avengers, like what they want is their Avengers, right?

Speaker 24 So they're just trying to like mash all the movies together until they get to that point where it doesn't work

Speaker 23 that way.

Speaker 81 I know it doesn't work that way.

Speaker 117 Um, and now, uh, now this, our sponsor this half hour is uh Goldline

Speaker 42 told you earlier today

Speaker 52 I talked to the guy who called the 99, or I'm sorry, the

Speaker 30 Asian contagion

Speaker 53 guy who called it in 2006 the 2008 bubble

Speaker 25 and he's very concerned now

Speaker 71 he told me he said I am doubling up on

Speaker 71 food gold ammunition he said it's coming this one's going to be really really bad

Speaker 77 I don't know what's coming.

Speaker 86 Well, I kind of know what's coming.

Speaker 23 It's it, you know,

Speaker 9 it's bad, um, worse than 2008.

Speaker 8 Don't know when it's coming.

Speaker 25 I believe the governments around the world, this is why they're going cashless, um, because they're going to be able to control your money and control your privacy, control everything.

Speaker 99 I want you to read Goldline's important information on the free cashless society.

Speaker 117 They've just updated this report, and they will tell you what it means, why it's happening, Um, and you need to read it.

Speaker 16 You don't have to buy anything, you just ask them, Can I get the report on the cashless society and see what's coming?

Speaker 26 and read their important risk information.

Speaker 16 And if you believe some of this stuff like I do, then

Speaker 52 buy gold or silver.

Speaker 15 Consider that as part of your portfolio.

Speaker 39 Call 1-866-465-3546-1866-Gold Line or goldline.com.

Speaker 25 Do it now.

Speaker 105 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 23 Mercury.

Speaker 108 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 41 Hey, Philadelphia, how's that soda tax working out for you?

Speaker 50 Just remember the theory.

Speaker 71 Taxes actually kill businesses, but there's no evidence to back that up.

Speaker 24 Yeah, Pepsi is going to lay off about a quarter of their workforce in the city.

Speaker 24 They have had sales cut by 40%

Speaker 24 in the city because of the new soda tax. So, lots of people losing their good jobs because the Philadelphia government wants more of your money and wants to tell you what to eat and drink.

Speaker 24 Really shocking news, I know. I know you're really surprised by that, but this is happening not only to big companies like Pepsi, but small companies like Hanks, we've talked about before.

Speaker 24 I mean, they get hit hard with this stuff. And what do you do?

Speaker 2 What do you do?

Speaker 6 You try to move to Texas.

Speaker 16 That's what, you know, that's what we did.

Speaker 23 Yeah, that is.
