Speaker 11 For all those people that said, oh, Pat Gray, he's so pig-headed,

Speaker 13 he's so set in his ways that he'll never fill in the blank.

Speaker 16 I don't think anybody's ever said support Trump.

Speaker 17 He'll never support Trump.

Speaker 20 Wait until you hear what Pat just said to get in there right now.

Speaker 20 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand. Cause we have won.

Speaker 20 I will be my drum. I have made my choice.
We will overcome.

Speaker 20 Cause we are one.

Speaker 23 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 24 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 25 If you're driving, I want you to pull your car over.

Speaker 20 Because this may cause you to have an accident.

Speaker 27 I've known Pat

Speaker 25 since 1989.

Speaker 28 Never saw this coming.

Speaker 29 Right before we went on the air, he said.

Speaker 31 Go ahead, Pat.

Speaker 32 I forget what I said.

Speaker 33 Oh, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 No, but it's seared in all of our memories.

Speaker 32 I said I liked La La Land.

Speaker 34 What?

Speaker 32 We win what's going on two weeks ago because we got sick after we haven't talked about it.

Speaker 39 You know, we never talked about that musical we saw, Glenn.

Speaker 40 That's what he said.

Speaker 41 That's what he said beforehand.

Speaker 29 You know, we haven't talked about that musical we went to see, and I'm like, musical that we went to see?

Speaker 46 What are you talking about?

Speaker 32 Well, we didn't go alone. It wasn't like a, you know, we weren't holding hands as dates.
We actually had our wives with us.

Speaker 42 But I thought that was a really good movie. I thought that was a...

Speaker 48 What is that?

Speaker 49 You leave for two days.

Speaker 50 You come back.

Speaker 51 Is this the same pat?

Speaker 23 I am in another dimension.

Speaker 33 No. I've entered another world.
Right.

Speaker 53 Because my wife saw it and she did not really like it.

Speaker 54 Really? Yes. Why?

Speaker 53 I don't know. I mean, I honestly, once it's, when I heard the word musical, I stopped listening to conversations about it.

Speaker 34 But

Speaker 53 I am shocked to hear, I mean, because I'm not surprised to hear Glenn likes it.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 53 Obviously, right up his alley makes perfect perfect sense. But Pat Gray.

Speaker 42 I know. What? What has

Speaker 42 Pat Group?

Speaker 32 Well-rounded individual.

Speaker 40 No, you're not.

Speaker 56 No.

Speaker 57 Very detaste.

Speaker 33 No, you do not.

Speaker 15 No, you do not.

Speaker 59 He was in here yesterday while you were gone, Stu, and he was ranting off the air something about Boston and how they went wrong in like the 1970s.

Speaker 53 Every time, because we'll go out to lunch sometimes after the show, and every single single time I get into his car, the first thing that happens is Boston blaring through the speakers until he he awkwardly like reaches over and turns it down really fast because he turns the car off with Boston at first.

Speaker 12 It may not be Boston. It could be Foreigner.

Speaker 24 It could be Foreigner.

Speaker 42 That's really period.

Speaker 63 That's the edits.

Speaker 56 Right. Or

Speaker 65 strangely now, La La Land.

Speaker 56 The soundtrack. Yes.

Speaker 32 Soundtrack to La La Land.

Speaker 66 I thought it was enjoyable.

Speaker 32 It wasn't, you know, it wasn't so musical, it was an opera.

Speaker 67 Well, those are different, but I'm going to give that to you.

Speaker 68 I I know what you mean.

Speaker 32 You know, because like, what was it? Was it Les Miz?

Speaker 32 The movie that was just non-stop singing.

Speaker 56 It was just a little, okay, I've had enough.

Speaker 35 That's what Les Miz is.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I know, right?

Speaker 17 And I'd had enough

Speaker 32 five minutes into it. But this, you know, it was enjoyable, except they didn't, they didn't want, well, actually, I don't want to blow it for anybody, but the ending is sad.

Speaker 72 I think the ending is beautiful.

Speaker 73 I think the ending is great.

Speaker 74 I think it's perfect.

Speaker 31 Yeah, Glenn has already blown that, I think, on the show.

Speaker 75 No, I don't think I have.

Speaker 15 I don't remember him blowing that. What?

Speaker 40 She gets can't?

Speaker 33 Oh,

Speaker 33 no. Oh, no.

Speaker 2 Now I've said it.

Speaker 70 Canned goods.

Speaker 34 Canned goods. She gets canned.

Speaker 76 So my daughter went to see Manchester by the sea, and she said, That's really sad

Speaker 56 anyway.

Speaker 60 Yeah, she, I don't know.

Speaker 27 And she said,

Speaker 28 Dad, have you seen Manchester? I said, no.

Speaker 80 And she said, oh, my gosh. And she tears up.

Speaker 81 You have to see it.

Speaker 82 And I went, you just kissed.

Speaker 83 You just gave it the kiss kiss of death.

Speaker 60 I am not going to see it.

Speaker 84 And she's like, no, dad, you have to. It's so beautiful.

Speaker 85 So beautiful. You will just love it.

Speaker 86 And I said, it's sad, isn't it?

Speaker 87 And she said,

Speaker 56 tears, tears welling up. Yes.

Speaker 14 It's really sad.

Speaker 15 I cry every time I think about it.

Speaker 89 I stood outside of the theater and I cried for 10 minutes.

Speaker 90 And I'm like, ringing it.

Speaker 56 Why would I go?

Speaker 63 Why would I go? Yeah.

Speaker 53 I don't want that in my life anymore than it already is.

Speaker 17 Right, I know.

Speaker 65 I mean, like, everything in my life, everything in my life is like that.

Speaker 13 Why I want to go and escape.

Speaker 53 Right.

Speaker 53 It was that movie a few years ago,

Speaker 53 Marley and Me. Do you remember that stupid movie?

Speaker 32 Yes.

Speaker 70 With the dog.

Speaker 42 Oh, my God.

Speaker 53 And I remember walking out of the theater and that, like, why did I just do that to myself? It was like the saddest.

Speaker 92 Especially for like a dog movie.

Speaker 36 Right.

Speaker 18 You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 It's like, that is just saying to you, look, guys, we got around a table. We said, how can we play on people's emotions?

Speaker 93 Somebody said, let's do a cat movie. Somebody said, no, let's kill a dog.

Speaker 53 What about a hamster?

Speaker 66 Or the dog won.

Speaker 16 The dog won.

Speaker 4 And all we've done is just built a script around playing on your emotions.

Speaker 53 Right. I mean, like, you know, if you're going to go see Schindler's list, okay, you know, it's going to be sad, but there's a real reason to see it.
You want to see the history and all that other.

Speaker 95 There's some uplifting moments.

Speaker 70 Well,

Speaker 31 I mean, Schindler's list, I don't recall those.

Speaker 56 Really? No.

Speaker 27 No, even at the end, when he's on the railroad tracks, he's bummed.

Speaker 96 He's like, I could have done more.

Speaker 70 I mean, there, I know. It's not

Speaker 53 a lot.

Speaker 15 Maybe in the previews you're remembering.

Speaker 57 I don't know.

Speaker 98 I think you might be thinking, Life is Beautiful, where you realize halfway through, no, not so much.

Speaker 42 Not so much.

Speaker 34 We've lied to you in the title of this movie.

Speaker 78 Right.

Speaker 96 Life is not beautiful.

Speaker 18 It's a concentration camp.

Speaker 32 Has anybody but me seen Legacy or 24 Legacy yet?

Speaker 42 No,

Speaker 53 I have not seen it yet.

Speaker 70 Okay.

Speaker 45 Any good? Yeah, it's compelling.

Speaker 41 Just like he said he was hooked up.

Speaker 70 It's like Keith Sutherland.

Speaker 53 Well, we watched, we were kind of thinking, like, ah, they're making another one without Kiefer Sutherland. It kind of sounds stupid.

Speaker 53 And then one day on Pat and Stew, we played the trailer for it, and in a minute and a half, we were back into it.

Speaker 56 Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 61 It looks like a problem. I will tell you this.

Speaker 32 There might be a problem at CTU.

Speaker 42 Oh, no. No.

Speaker 32 There might be a problem in the government. No.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Yeah. And there might be a problem with some of the people who are in the middle of the crawl raiders.

Speaker 42 No. Oh, gee.

Speaker 38 I wonder if they're big oil companies.

Speaker 27 They're definitely not Islamic.

Speaker 60 That was the problem with.

Speaker 19 You just turned me back off.

Speaker 14 I'm not interested in that.

Speaker 32 After eight seasons of that with the original, I was pretty done with it.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 32 But I must be ready for it again.

Speaker 56 I think more than that, didn't it?

Speaker 95 I think seven or eight.

Speaker 56 Yeah, really? Yeah.

Speaker 48 Wow.

Speaker 99 And we made it all the way through.

Speaker 32 I didn't, but

Speaker 56 many did.

Speaker 15 I made it to the end of the day. Have you guys?

Speaker 93 Has anybody seen the new pope?

Speaker 32 No, is that the new pope?

Speaker 35 It's on HBO.

Speaker 68 Started watching it the other day, and I'm like, oh, I don't like this at all.

Speaker 76 Because it seems like this young pope is,

Speaker 85 you immediately think he's really a bad guy.

Speaker 98 Like, really, really a bad guy. And the more you watch it, the more you think, now, wait a minute, maybe he's the really, really good guy who's taking down all of the

Speaker 107 trappings and the, you know, like it's, it's, it's really weird.

Speaker 32 Is it a modern day

Speaker 21 setting? Modern day setting,

Speaker 68 Jude Law.

Speaker 79 And if you're a Catholic, you can't watch it because it'll just, it'll set your hair on fire.

Speaker 68 You know, it's the typical.

Speaker 53 You mean it's not friendly to Catholicism?

Speaker 36 No, it's not

Speaker 49 typical, yeah, typical, you know, not friendly to Catholicism thing.

Speaker 38 But if you're not Catholic, you don't have that automatic barrier against, you know what I mean?

Speaker 94 But you still, you're still like, I not

Speaker 106 sure exactly what's happening.

Speaker 112 So it's one of those things.

Speaker 4 I'm like three episodes into it, and I'm like,

Speaker 113 I'm starting to get invested in this.

Speaker 30 And if it turns out that he's really, that this, all this is, is a Catholic bash, bash, I'm really going to be more pissed than even the Catholics.

Speaker 17 But it might be, and it might be.

Speaker 32 That's what it usually is.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 114 This is just so bizarre.

Speaker 38 It's just so strange that I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

Speaker 32 And you said it's HBO?

Speaker 35 HBO.

Speaker 4 So, I mean, it's got all the earmarks of just,

Speaker 56 let's just bash the church and

Speaker 28 bash religious people.

Speaker 32 Does it center around the priest scandal?

Speaker 118 No, it's got part of that in there, and he keeps pushing it off.

Speaker 60 And that's one of the things you're like, okay, wait a minute.

Speaker 77 Why is he pushing the priest scandal off?

Speaker 60 But then you, I'm kind of getting the feeling that he's, because he's hunting for bigger fish.

Speaker 106 He's like, this isn't.

Speaker 82 He'll say things that are crazy.

Speaker 15 It's kind of, you know, remember the last temptation of Christ?

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 61 Okay, and it set everybody's hair on fire because the last temptation happened on the cross.

Speaker 81 This was the idea that the last temptation happened on the cross.

Speaker 89 And, you know, Jesus had children and a normal life, but that was just what Satan was showing him.

Speaker 21 Satan was showing him, hey, you could have all this.

Speaker 60 And in the end, all that happened, you know, the whole movie happened in just a fraction of the second on the cross. And that was what Satan was showing him, hey.

Speaker 67 Right now,

Speaker 102 you can end this and you can have all of that.

Speaker 61 And his last temptation, Jesus said no.

Speaker 53 That was really controversial at the time, right?

Speaker 87 Yeah, and it shouldn't have been because the point was that's what Satan showed him.

Speaker 72 And Jesus said no.

Speaker 51 And I think it might be going in that direction, that this guy is saying things and doing things

Speaker 76 that look really bad on the outset, but it's only because he's rooting out real bad stuff.

Speaker 68 HBO, Jude Law.

Speaker 42 Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 36 Oh, it'll turn around.

Speaker 26 It'll come around.

Speaker 17 I'm sure it's going to be fine.

Speaker 34 Of course it will.

Speaker 32 It's going to be good for the Catholic Church.

Speaker 63 Yeah, no.

Speaker 99 Or faith in general.

Speaker 57 Yeah.

Speaker 92 Faith in general.

Speaker 60 So

Speaker 126 I've been having a problem I want to talk to you about.

Speaker 44 I'm losing touch.

Speaker 56 with

Speaker 72 people more and more every day.

Speaker 78 We started a a segment with La La Land.

Speaker 55 Of course, you're losing all the people.

Speaker 78 That's all that was only, you know, what?

Speaker 27 That was only deflection.

Speaker 38 I was only trying to deflect some of the stuff that I want to talk about.

Speaker 60 I'm not understanding

Speaker 43 the self-imposed ignorance of people right now.

Speaker 77 For instance,

Speaker 106 I tweeted,

Speaker 60 somebody said, oh, Glenn Beck, grow a spine.

Speaker 111 You know, we have to defeat evil.

Speaker 77 And I said, my spine is getting stronger and stronger every day.

Speaker 38 You don't defeat evil with evil or hate with hate.

Speaker 100 Only light and love defeat hatred, evil, and error.

Speaker 112 Now, what does that mean to you, Stu?

Speaker 117 Do we ever pick up a gun against Hitler?

Speaker 53 I want to say yes.

Speaker 53 It's funny.

Speaker 53 What, ISIS? You know, you're going to talk about the worst groups on Earth. You know, is love the key?

Speaker 53 Obviously, there is an element of that long-term, which is really more on their side and that they need to find it. But, I mean, you wrote a book called It Is About Islam, right?

Speaker 58 Like, this is not this is not

Speaker 53 something that you've taken lightly over.

Speaker 60 So listen to some of the comments.

Speaker 94 Okay, Chubby.

Speaker 56 Well, that's. And I wrote back.

Speaker 102 I said, hey, I mean, you know, that's easy.

Speaker 129 I get it.

Speaker 57 I get it.

Speaker 100 Mocking me my way.

Speaker 112 Listen to this one.

Speaker 87 Try waving that Christmas sweater at the Berkeley mob and tell us how it goes for you.

Speaker 53 Oh, so they remember the Christmas sweater book, but not the much more recent It Is About Islam book, right?

Speaker 42 Or it's not much liars, they know the Christmas sweater, so they know that's about redemption.

Speaker 77 They know that's the Christmas story.

Speaker 8 That's obviously a listener that you know the Christmas sweater

Speaker 93 and you don't understand or you're mocking the meaning of the Christmas sweater

Speaker 68 behind that.

Speaker 121 I mean, if it was stunning to me, uh, Glenn, you've officially lost your effing mind.

Speaker 111 That's from a guy who has the, you know, blue line police shield as his avatar.

Speaker 74 Then some stuff I can't really repeat.

Speaker 77 Start a search to find Glenn Beck sometimes.

Speaker 107 It seems he's risen to a sandal robe wearing door-to-door dribble salesman.

Speaker 102 Read up, God destroyed evil many, many times.

Speaker 46 Okay, I got that one.

Speaker 87 I would suggest reading up on yourself and getting the log from your own eye.

Speaker 108 I'm trying to do that.

Speaker 53 And I think he has better information than he needs to read articles about himself to know about himself. He was there for all the things.

Speaker 31 Thank you.

Speaker 131 Your spine is strong only because men stronger and braver you are willing to defend the principles that you only pay lip service to.

Speaker 11 Bonhoeffer was killed by the Nazis.

Speaker 43 Men with guns defeated them.

Speaker 111 The left aren't the English and gandhi or us and mlk and you know it

Speaker 77 i think that one is actually advocating guns against the left

Speaker 101 there are so many people

Speaker 89 that i i tweeted on this is a continuation from sunday because i tweeted we have to take the hate out of our own hearts now that's not saying that about you.

Speaker 72 That's saying about me.

Speaker 72 I got to take the hate out of my own heart i have to find a way to love the people who absolutely hate me and that is really hard and i'm really trying i'm struggling with these things because i think it's self-imposed ignorance i think these people many of them know better they know better they know that we're not talking about defeating the nazis or isis

Speaker 87 i'm not talking about that I am talking about how are you going to, let me ask you this.

Speaker 65 For those on the right and the left

Speaker 56 I heard Maxine Waters and we want to play this in a second she's now mentioning impeachment what is that going to do that's going to inoculate Donald Trump for all time on impeachment that's all that's going to do and it's going to drive the wedge between the left and the right again now it's Maxine Waters so I get it

Speaker 50 Let me ask the protesters.

Speaker 87 You're going out and you're protesting what exactly?

Speaker 135 You were protesting the week he was elected.

Speaker 93 What do you think that's going to do?

Speaker 82 Does that make you look like you're a reasonable person?

Speaker 136 At least to half the country?

Speaker 118 You don't even have anything to protest.

Speaker 112 At least that time, you didn't have anything to protest.

Speaker 79 You were just out protesting.

Speaker 104 You're setting Starbucks on fire.

Speaker 93 Do you think that's going to win anybody over?

Speaker 67 More importantly, what have we we learned about Donald Trump?

Speaker 60 Donald Trump punches back.

Speaker 92 It's why a lot of people like him.

Speaker 118 He punches back, and what does he say?

Speaker 137 If you punch me, I punch back

Speaker 114 twice as hard.

Speaker 118 So we know every time you punch him, he will escalate.

Speaker 104 He will punch you back twice as hard.

Speaker 11 So you're going to riot.

Speaker 76 You're going to do these things.

Speaker 134 You're going to threaten impeachment.

Speaker 93 And what do you think he's going to do?

Speaker 48 Roll over?

Speaker 104 He's going to punch you back twice as hard.

Speaker 118 And then for you to survive, you have to punch him back.

Speaker 97 And then what is he going to do?

Speaker 139 He's going to punch back twice as hard again.

Speaker 82 I mean, where does this end?

Speaker 99 I don't think people are realizing,

Speaker 60 you know, it's like the woman told me in Poland.

Speaker 60 The righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.

Speaker 131 They just refused to go over the cliff with everyone else.

Speaker 101 Look at the cliff you're headed towards.

Speaker 82 Where does it end?

Speaker 88 If you're punching on both sides and you're claiming that we have to hate the other side and the other side is an enemy that must be destroyed,

Speaker 131 there's no place to go except civil war.

Speaker 44 There's no place to go.

Speaker 115 And I don't think the vast majority of people who are listening, the people who are not listening, the people who are for Trump and the people who are against Trump are really seriously wanting a civil war.

Speaker 99 I think most people want this to end.

Speaker 42 Stop it.

Speaker 132 So how do you get there?

Speaker 77 You get there by paying attention to principles only, not policies.

Speaker 136 and removing the hate in your heart.

Speaker 104 Nobody can punch you.

Speaker 101 If you don't care,

Speaker 75 nobody punches you.

Speaker 143 I know, I know.

Speaker 77 I know.

Speaker 121 It's never worked before, except every time it's tried, every time somebody is seriously dedicated to it,

Speaker 102 it wins.

Speaker 129 Just not in the way that maybe you want to win, or Jesus wanted to win, or Gandhi wanted to win, or Martin Luther King wanted to win.

Speaker 108 Bonhoeffer won.

Speaker 65 Those guys all may be dead, but they won.

Speaker 158 We'll get into that when we come back.

Speaker 158 program.

Speaker 22 Mercury.

Speaker 160 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 120 Walking over to the audio vault, a couple of things you need to hear.

Speaker 87 First of all, here's Maxine Waters on impeaching President Trump and his relationship with Putin.

Speaker 161 And knowing that, he's responsible for supplying the bombs that killed innocent children and families in

Speaker 161 Aleppo.

Speaker 32 She She had to be told by Nancy Pelosi

Speaker 32 where that was happening.

Speaker 32 Seriously, I don't think she knows.

Speaker 15 Well, I really don't.

Speaker 141 Maybe Aleppo,

Speaker 27 maybe, but the next one, definitely not.

Speaker 161 And the fact that he is wrapping his arms around Putin while Putin is continuing to advance into

Speaker 15 Korea.

Speaker 11 Into Korea.

Speaker 42 He is leading him to the news.

Speaker 15 He's advancing into

Speaker 141 He's into Korea.

Speaker 53 He shouldn't do that.

Speaker 32 Well, I mean, I was okay with Korea, but when he went into Thailand and Taiwan, and then he got into Tai Chi, then

Speaker 32 that's where I said, okay, enough.

Speaker 112 Enough.

Speaker 60 When he started to cross the border into Siam,

Speaker 57 man, I was upset.

Speaker 32 Because the king was... I think he was singing at the time.

Speaker 15 Yeah, he was.

Speaker 78 He was singing. He was.

Speaker 32 And his song had to stop

Speaker 32 because of the invasion of Siam.

Speaker 15 That ruined Arkansas.

Speaker 60 Putin is not going into Korea.

Speaker 164 Maybe you meant Crimea.

Speaker 45 I don't think she did.

Speaker 97 I honestly don't.

Speaker 67 No, I think somebody said Crimea around her, and all she heard was the area

Speaker 94 and thought it was Korea.

Speaker 32 Thank goodness she didn't think it was diarrhea.

Speaker 41 Right.

Speaker 61 Because it could be a matter of time. And he's going into diarrhea.

Speaker 42 Oh, my God.

Speaker 53 At least Korea and Crimea share a couple of letters. It's closer than she normally gets.
Yes. We can give her that.

Speaker 56 Yes.

Speaker 53 That's actually a pretty good moment for Maxine Waters.

Speaker 41 So bad.

Speaker 36 That's a good moment. That's so bad.

Speaker 62 It's one of her better ones.

Speaker 53 I mean, good is probably not the right word.

Speaker 17 Now,

Speaker 60 let's listen to President Trump from yesterday.

Speaker 165 And all across Europe, you've seen what happened in Paris and Nice.

Speaker 56 All over Europe, it's happening.

Speaker 165 It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it.

Speaker 36 They do.

Speaker 32 Okay, so terrorist acts are happening all over the place, and the press is covering that up.

Speaker 70 They're just ignoring that.

Speaker 70 That's what he's saying.

Speaker 53 Because he starts it with, you've seen it. Well, where have we seen it? If they're not covering it, where have we seen it?

Speaker 42 How do we even know about it?

Speaker 95 Right. Infra wars.

Speaker 53 It's one of those things where there's two ways to go on this, right? You can kind of criticize, like, you can go and answer what he said here, which is that the press isn't covering these attacks and

Speaker 53 address the claim straight on,

Speaker 53 which is what media sources are doing today.

Speaker 53 And we can go through the details of that. The other side of it is, do you believe that Trump is bringing this up, knowing that the media will come after these claims and make the story...

Speaker 53 The story people will absorb is not that Trump made a mistake about the coverage, but that the fact that there's been 78 terrorist attacks, right?

Speaker 53 Like people will start thinking about terrorism and that will back his policies as far as, like, is he, again, the master manipulator, or is he just blurting things out that makes no sense?

Speaker 53 I mean, because NBC, who you'd think would be the worst at carrying, covering terrorist attacks, went back and did this. They released the list of 78 terrorist attacks.
They had covered 57 of the 78.

Speaker 53 So 57 of the 78 they had actually covered.

Speaker 53 The 21 that they did not cover were smaller incidents in places like Egypt, Bosnia, or Bangladesh, resulting in the deaths of total of eight people in the 21 attacks.

Speaker 53 So you would understand why a national news source

Speaker 53 might not address

Speaker 53 a terrorist attack in Bangladesh that killed no one.

Speaker 53 That wouldn't be something necessarily that they would cover on the national American news.

Speaker 53 But

Speaker 53 again, doesn't he win this? Doesn't he win this story? He wins this news cycle if what we're talking about is 78 terrorist attacks.

Speaker 53 Now, of course, I agree with him that it is a serious problem, unlike much of the media, so I'm happy that he wins this news cycle. But it's a strange, it's a different strategy, right?

Speaker 53 If it's a strategy and it's not just him blurting things out that he saw on InfoWars, which a lot of people are also accusing him of,

Speaker 53 it's probably brilliant in some way of manipulating the media.

Speaker 53 On the other side of that, if he's saying these things and he actually believes them, it's troubling because they, how else would we know about Paris and Nice?

Speaker 53 San Bernardino is the reason he came out and did the Muslim ban. It was covered

Speaker 78 all over the place.

Speaker 53 That was covered immensely. The only reason he went into the Muslim ban thing in the first place was all the coverage and the seriousness of that incident, which we all took very seriously.

Speaker 53 So I don't know. Which one do you believe?

Speaker 15 He blurted it out. Blurted it out.

Speaker 37 Just blurted it out. Yep.

Speaker 53 Because he does win these things this way.

Speaker 54 I mean,

Speaker 53 instead of the negative press he's been getting and protests and things things like that, it's now directed to how much terrorism there is, and many of his supporters will believe that it wasn't covered at all.

Speaker 53 And doesn't that, doesn't he win a news cycle with that? If the question is...

Speaker 48 I don't know, it's a pretty big leap for people, I think, to

Speaker 12 swallow that the press doesn't want to cover terrorist attacks.

Speaker 74 Oh, no, I don't think that's hard to swallow at all.

Speaker 32 I don't think very good things about the mainstream media in general.

Speaker 53 But when there's a serious attack let me cover it let me play it another way we see it all the time maybe play it the other way um maybe he he wasn't talking about those but he was talking about the terrorist attacks like at fort hood which was workplace shooting right that sort of vibe i think totally relates to people particularly conservatives yeah i thought it was that again that it was covered so like he's saying they didn't cover it what really happened i think in the minds of conservatives did they cover it accurately yeah take take orlando they they covered that, but did they cover that accurately?

Speaker 53 Right, they tried everything they could

Speaker 53 to make it not seem like terrorism and more like some shooter. Correct.

Speaker 104 They don't want to cover

Speaker 38 homophobia.

Speaker 53 And again, like he, the way he says it

Speaker 53 is, I mean, plainly is not true. However, if you take what do you think, if you can, you can come up with a way where it

Speaker 53 sort of is true and relates to people. And

Speaker 53 I mean, I think that's the way people take it, right? I don't think the President of the United States should have the standard of literal. I mean, plainly,

Speaker 53 the whole literal serious debate that's happened over the past few months, the President of the United States needs to be able to say what he means literally.

Speaker 53 It can't be something that we all have to reach into the back of our mind and come up with some justification as to what he's saying. However,

Speaker 53 I think when you talk about media strategy, it probably works. I think people do realize that the media is oftentimes not

Speaker 53 honest with the way that they handle terrorist attacks. They do everything they can to define.

Speaker 53 I mean, I listened to a debate this morning on CNN with a Republican representative in which they were trying yet again to equate the Timothy McVeigh bombing to the state of Islamic terrorism today.

Speaker 53 Don't white people do this too? And it's like,

Speaker 53 how on earth can that debate still be alive at this point? And people see this happen over and over and over again, and they relate to this.

Speaker 102 So what you're talking about, though, is exactly what I talked about in the last half hour, which is intellectual honesty.

Speaker 143 Do we have any intellectual honesty anymore?

Speaker 77 Is anybody looking at these things

Speaker 77 and trying to be intellectually consistent and honest?

Speaker 67 I think there's a great hunger for it.

Speaker 92 Real hunger for it.

Speaker 53 I hope so. You know, it's certainly the only reason any of us are in this business, right?

Speaker 53 I have

Speaker 53 no need for shows that come out and just tell me what I want to hear every day. I'd rather be challenged and think about these things in that way.

Speaker 53 You want to at least have people who are attempting to hit the standard of intellectual honesty. And if you don't have that, what do you have?

Speaker 91 Nothing.

Speaker 53 I mean, there's no point in doing this.

Speaker 53 There's no point in doing this if what you're doing is you're going to a site or whatever that's just going to kind of further what you believe at any cost.

Speaker 53 And that means that's, I mean, the the left has a zillion of those.

Speaker 53 People like to criticize the right for doing it now because obviously Trump's in power and now everyone all of a sudden cares about it again.

Speaker 62 But the left has all this as well.

Speaker 53 Look at the people out there protesting. They're nuts.
Many of them are basically, when you talk about, they're factually insane. And I don't mean like the fact is that they're insane.

Speaker 53 I mean like when it comes to relationship with the facts, it's like insanity.

Speaker 69 It's a whole nother world, a whole other language.

Speaker 56 I agree with you.

Speaker 48 I agree with you.

Speaker 49 All right, right, Valentine's Day.

Speaker 15 Can I ask you,

Speaker 90 who's worried about what we're getting for Valentine's Day?

Speaker 32 No one. Nobody.

Speaker 83 This holiday pisses me off.

Speaker 42 Me too.

Speaker 103 It really pisses me off.

Speaker 87 You get a card.

Speaker 46 I never want a card.

Speaker 15 I don't even get a card.

Speaker 90 You don't even get a card.

Speaker 67 You get nothing.

Speaker 36 Nothing.

Speaker 93 Do you get her something?

Speaker 168 No.

Speaker 42 Yes, I do.

Speaker 24 Of course I do.

Speaker 68 I have to.

Speaker 32 I have to.

Speaker 1 But it's a one-way.

Speaker 66 This is a one-way holiday.

Speaker 66 There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 53 You don't even get

Speaker 53 something very basic just to kind of like, so she can say she got you something too.

Speaker 58 But at least

Speaker 53 will she go out with you for a meal you pay for? She would do that. That's nice.
Yeah, she would do that.

Speaker 46 What do you get for Valentine's Day?

Speaker 53 We usually get something

Speaker 78 nice.

Speaker 53 You get the card. You get a little gift maybe from Jeffy.

Speaker 56 No. Nothing.

Speaker 38 Jeffy. Oh, I get a card.

Speaker 43 Valentine's Day is one week away.

Speaker 108 Oh, my God.

Speaker 103 I know. Can you believe it?

Speaker 53 There's probably a lot of reservations left, though, at restaurants, right?

Speaker 169 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 157 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 131 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 106 There's a new poll out.

Speaker 38 It's a good one, too.

Speaker 170 Yeah, it's a really good one.

Speaker 14 I'm going to make you feel really good on

Speaker 38 how people on the Democratic Party, in the Democratic Party, feel about Christians.

Speaker 29 Well, it's genius.

Speaker 32 According to a new CBS poll, so it's not some rinky-ding thing, a majority of Democrats said they believe that the religion of Islam is dangerous.

Speaker 53 They'll give us that.

Speaker 32 But other religions are just as bad.

Speaker 32 66% of Democrats believe when it comes to other religions, and they define it Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism, they're responsible for just as much violence as Islam.

Speaker 32 The casserole killings from the Mormons have got to stop.

Speaker 53 Well, that's all part of the larger Jell-O-Jihad. And I think

Speaker 32 we did declare a Jell-O-Gihad in 1978.

Speaker 170 The Bowling Green massacre, the Jell-O-Jihad, the Bowling Green Massacre, was

Speaker 69 just unbelievable.

Speaker 67 Come on.

Speaker 47 Name one.

Speaker 131 I wish these polls would challenge people.

Speaker 37 Really?

Speaker 36 Can you name a Christian massacre or a Mormon or a

Speaker 42 Jewish massacre? The Pat poll would be awesome.

Speaker 53 Like, you'd ask the normal question, and Pat would just be following up.

Speaker 36 Oh, really?

Speaker 91 Name one, you idiot.

Speaker 42 You moron.

Speaker 53 That would be really interesting. That's not the way scientific polling typically works, where you have the interviews.

Speaker 55 But it interviewed.

Speaker 36 But maybe it should.

Speaker 26 I like that.

Speaker 32 14% of these Democrats believe Islam is more violent than Christians.

Speaker 12 Wow.

Speaker 101 Or Mormons or Jews.

Speaker 47 I mean,

Speaker 32 that's mind-boggling. That's just, you're just, it's denial of reality.

Speaker 112 Isn't that where we are?

Speaker 78 Yeah, it is.

Speaker 122 It's just deny the reality and choose your own.

Speaker 122 You know, choose your own ending.

Speaker 1 Really weird.

Speaker 92 It is where

Speaker 103 that woman in Poland said we would be.

Speaker 92 Just don't go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

Speaker 44 You don't have to do anything special.

Speaker 123 You just don't go over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

Speaker 113 And that's really what's happening. I mean, I can't believe I'm watching that in real time.

Speaker 92 People are going over the cliff of insanity.

Speaker 32 What is this Bowling Green massacre that Kellyanne Conway talked about?

Speaker 58 So

Speaker 53 it's, I mean, I think, you know, her case on it is she just made a mistake. So she said, if you didn't.

Speaker 171 No, she said she missed one word.

Speaker 127 Right.

Speaker 53 That was the mistake. So she said it was a Bowling Green massacre.
No one will talk about the Bowling Green massacre.

Speaker 32 And they won't because

Speaker 40 there hasn't been a Bowling Green massacre.

Speaker 53 I only saw one of the clips.

Speaker 53 I saw reports that said she said it on a few different shows.

Speaker 108 Multiple times.

Speaker 53 And so, but

Speaker 53 what she said was, no, what I meant was the Bowling Green attackers. Now, there also wasn't an attack in Bowling Green.

Speaker 53 What she seems to be referring to is there were two

Speaker 53 people with terror ties arrested in Bowling Green.

Speaker 53 And they were, I believe, Iraqi refugees. And they were arrested.
The terror ties they were arrested with was not about attacking the United States, but trying to collect arms for ISIS overseas.

Speaker 32 Were they Iraqi Mormons?

Speaker 53 They were Iraqi Mormons, yes.

Speaker 29 Mormon Christian Jews?

Speaker 78 Yes.

Speaker 90 Those are dangerous.

Speaker 56 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 29 You crossbreed Mormon Christian Jews.

Speaker 32 You don't want none of that. No, you don't want none of that.

Speaker 53 But in this interview I was telling you about this morning on CNN where they were going after this representative.

Speaker 53 And he's like, look, you know, we've seen all these terrorist attacks and we have to make sure that we're being careful. And her answer was essentially, well, what about white people?

Speaker 53 You don't care about white people having terrorist attacks.

Speaker 53 And his response was, look, I mean, look, we've had, obviously, we care about all attacks, but the preponderance of them, of the evidence, points to Islamic distributism.

Speaker 53 And she goes, well, what about that attack

Speaker 53 with a white person killing six Muslims at a mosque? And so that was, first of all,

Speaker 53 the only example she could come up with. Second of all, it was in Canada.

Speaker 54 It wasn't even in America.

Speaker 53 So the examples they have is one attack in Canada, and then she goes to Timothy McVeigh. Those are her first two.

Speaker 53 Eventually, she got to Charleston, which I think is, I'm totally fine calling that a terrorist attack.

Speaker 53 However,

Speaker 53 you're talking about a

Speaker 53 long, a large swath, thousands of attacks around the world that have happened with Muslim extremism.

Speaker 32 Timothy McVay committed those attacks in the name of agnosticism?

Speaker 15 Yes,

Speaker 53 deep name of agnosticism.

Speaker 66 He's not Christian.

Speaker 56 He was not Christian.

Speaker 53 No, even MSNBC, by the way, reported that.

Speaker 32 Did they?

Speaker 53 That he wasn't Christian. That he was not Christian.

Speaker 32 And he didn't do that in the name of Christianity. No, he did not.

Speaker 53 Wow. I mean, but again, it was a white extremist, is the way they were doing it.
But again, there have been white Muslims, Muslim extremists who have done attacks.

Speaker 53 We've seen that before. It's just a ridiculous argument.
And when you can't agree on the basics, how can you go any further?

Speaker 25 You kind of can't.

Speaker 17 Hello, America.

Speaker 27 Welcome to the program.

Speaker 164 One of the Patriots has decided not to go to Washington, D.C.

Speaker 27 to meet with Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 97 didn't a hockey player say that he wasn't going to, after the Stanley Cup, say he wasn't going to go meet President Obama?

Speaker 3 Of course, that was only.

Speaker 131 He only made it to a racist thing.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that was only a racist thing.

Speaker 93 So I'm not sure if this is racist or not this time.

Speaker 27 And Mike Lee is joining us.

Speaker 112 He has met with the Supreme Court nominee and has a lot to say.

Speaker 3 And I also want to talk to him a little bit about the Muslim ban as well.

Speaker 170 Mike Lee, the senator from Utah, joins us right now.

Speaker 170 I have made my choice. We will overcome.

Speaker 170 Cause we are one.

Speaker 23 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 24 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 19 Senator Mike Lee.

Speaker 16 welcome to the program, sir. How are you?

Speaker 160 Doing great. Thanks so much, Glenn.

Speaker 163 Can we start with quickly on the Muslim ban and

Speaker 101 whether that is legal or not?

Speaker 80 What is your opinion?

Speaker 160 The short answer is the president has authority to suspend the entry of certain aliens coming into this country. He has that authority under Section 212F of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Speaker 160 Now, there's an amendment to that that came about several decades after that one was put in place that some have read to suggest the President can't do this.

Speaker 160 But when you read the language on that one, it deals with visa issuance, not suspension on entry, and it deals with visa issuance by those who issue thesis, not by the President.

Speaker 160 That's why, on its face, I can't look at this order and say it's illegal. That's why the order, to the extent it causes legal problems, will present legal problems only in the way that it's enforced.

Speaker 160 In other words, we'll have to wait and see how this thing is applied, how it's interpreted,

Speaker 160 how it's actually utilized on the ground before we can say whether it violates the law.

Speaker 31 Poorly written, Mike?

Speaker 6 Is that the problem?

Speaker 160 Not ideally.

Speaker 160 The rollout was suboptimal.

Speaker 160 The draftsmanship could have been better.

Speaker 160 But look,

Speaker 160 these are people who have got a lot on their plate, and

Speaker 160 I understand that. That's why I hope they get the implementation right, because if they get the implementation right, I think it'll be okay.

Speaker 149 What did this judge up in Washington?

Speaker 127 Is he right at all?

Speaker 160 You know, I read his temporary restraining order, and it's been a long time since I've seen an order like that that dealt with an issue of this magnitude with so few words.

Speaker 160 And I don't mean that in a complimentary way. What I mean is that it lacked analysis.
It was full of

Speaker 160 what I call conclusory assertions, where the judge just sort of found that the

Speaker 160 basis in law existed for him to issue this temporary restraining order. And so he did.
But it was very short on legal analysis.

Speaker 60 So they're making this into a big deal because, well, he was appointed by George Bush.

Speaker 131 And so, you know, George Bush, of course.

Speaker 94 How could you possibly go against a George Bush judge?

Speaker 160 You know, Glenn, if I had a nickel for every bad decision made by a Republican-appointed judge or Supreme Court justice, I'd be a very wealthy man.

Speaker 160 The fact that somebody's put on a court by a Republican means absolutely nothing in terms of his infallibility.

Speaker 32 Mike, real quick, before we get into the crux of this,

Speaker 32 there's a new poll out about Democrats that are concerned about Christians and Mormons being just as violent as

Speaker 32 just as violent as Islam. What are you doing to curb the Mormon violence in this country?

Speaker 66 Are you drafting any kind of legislation?

Speaker 160 Yeah, it's a big problem.

Speaker 156 It is. I would

Speaker 160 Mormons are known for their violent tendencies.

Speaker 160 Bicycles. The bicycles and the short-sleeve shirts with

Speaker 160 ties,

Speaker 160 it strikes fear.

Speaker 127 Oh my gosh, it does.

Speaker 156 Of all who behold.

Speaker 58 It's so big problem.

Speaker 82 So, Mike, 63%

Speaker 104 of all Democrats, 66.66,

Speaker 171 feel that's true.

Speaker 166 Two-thirds

Speaker 44 of all Democrats feel that Christians, Jews, and

Speaker 105 Mormons are

Speaker 104 just as dangerous as Islamic terrorists.

Speaker 160 Wow. Now, that's interesting.

Speaker 160 Especially given that it would be difficult to find doctrine to support that. It would be difficult to find actual statistics to support that.

Speaker 160 One of the reasons why I find this most disturbing is that it strikes this tone of moral equivalency, which I think causes a whole lot of problems.

Speaker 160 There's no such thing as bad or good or

Speaker 160 bad or worse than bad. It's just stuff people do.
And

Speaker 160 I'm very curious about that study and how they reached those conclusions. They don't ring true.

Speaker 44 It scares the hell out of me because it seems to me that we are living in a

Speaker 72 time where facts don't matter at all to anybody on either side.

Speaker 160 well they do matter to the reader I think there are a lot of readers out there

Speaker 160 and a lot of people who listen to your program a lot of people who actually are willing to dig beneath the surface who care it's not always the case that those reporting those facts care and so when the people care those who report facts that are

Speaker 160 not ringing true can be held accountable and I think that's what we have to do.

Speaker 136 All right.

Speaker 81 Talk to me a a little bit about Gorsuch. You've met with him last, what was it, Friday, I think, Thursday or Friday.

Speaker 102 What did you think of him?

Speaker 160 Love the guy. He's a fantastic judge.
Look, I already had a high opinion of him because I've argued in front of him.

Speaker 160 I was a lawyer before I became a politician as a person.

Speaker 90 I argue in front of my children, and I don't necessarily have a lot of respect for them.

Speaker 156 This guy's good, though.

Speaker 160 This guy's good.

Speaker 160 But I just highlighted there two of the reasons why I'm one of the, you know, I chose two hated professions, first lawyer, then politician. You know,

Speaker 160 I'm not sure how it could get worse than that. But in any event, he's a great judge.

Speaker 160 He's a dream to argue in front of because he's the kind of judge who reads all the briefs and reads all the statutes and all the cases cited in the briefs. He's always prepared.

Speaker 160 He knows exactly where he's going. He believes that our

Speaker 160 laws matter and the words used matter, and he wants to find the meaning of those words.

Speaker 160 But then in the last few days, I've been reading a whole lot of Gorsuch.

Speaker 160 I've spent hours upon hours reading Gorsuch opinions. And so far, I have yet to find a bad opinion among them.

Speaker 160 This is an extraordinary judge. His opinions, if you can believe it, are actually interesting.
They're fun to read.

Speaker 160 In addition to the fact that they seem to follow the right approach very consistently with an eye toward finding out what the law says.

Speaker 92 Let's just clarify.

Speaker 77 That is Mike Lee that just said these are fun to read.

Speaker 27 read, so kids don't rush out.

Speaker 29 It's Mike saying that.

Speaker 112 What are the odds of him getting confirmed?

Speaker 160 We intend to get him confirmed, and I expect we will get him confirmed. I don't know exactly.

Speaker 104 Without the nuclear option?

Speaker 160 Well, there is no reason why we necessarily have to use the nuclear option.

Speaker 160 And I think most or all of us would prefer not to. It's not clear that we'll have to to begin with.

Speaker 160 You know, I do think at least one Democrat Democrat will make sure that we have to get cloture

Speaker 160 if they can, and that requires 60 votes to bring the debate to a close. I think it's possible that we could get those 60 votes.

Speaker 160 If we don't, there are a couple of options at our disposal, only one of which involves the use of the nuclear option.

Speaker 160 There's another one called Rule 19, the so-called two-speech rule, that allows us to bypass cloture.

Speaker 160 when we stay in the same legislative day until everyone who wants to speak has had a chance to do so, and then we go directly to the final vote, which is set at 51.

Speaker 160 Look, this is terribly boring, arcane stuff. This from a guy who loves to read Gorsuch opinions.

Speaker 76 No, no, no, no, no, this loves them, says they're fun.

Speaker 160 Yes, yes, they are fun. The Gorsuch opinions are fun.

Speaker 160 Rule 19 is not fun, it's quite arcane, but it's useful here, and I think it might give us a path toward confirming Judge Gorsuch without deploying the nuclear option.

Speaker 32 Mike, if you had to compare him to a sitting or former judge,

Speaker 53 who would he mostly closely compare to?

Speaker 32 Would it be Scalia? Would it be Alito?

Speaker 56 Kennedy?

Speaker 160 I'd say he's sort of a blend between

Speaker 160 Justice Alito, my former boss, and Justices Scalia and Thomas,

Speaker 160 which is exactly what we want.

Speaker 160 I had hoped the President would nominate someone in that mold. And as far as I can tell, he appears to be in that mold.

Speaker 160 This is a guy who really believes deeply that we need to follow certain principles in the law. He's deeply wedded to textualism, the idea that

Speaker 160 the laws consist of words. The words have meaning, and you have to find out what those words mean.

Speaker 160 And originalism, which is the idea that in order to understand the Constitution, it's important to go back and understand how the words in the Constitution were used at the time they were put in there, at the time they were drafted and ratified.

Speaker 53 As someone, Mike, who's

Speaker 53 really interested in the Gorsuch opinions, can you help?

Speaker 53 Because I thought, speaking of the Scalia comparisons, one interesting place where they seem to split, and it seems like Gorsuch is better than Scalia on, is this idea of the Chevron deference,

Speaker 53 where we're talking about basically giving deference to federal agencies. Can you explain that and make it slightly less boring than it sounds?

Speaker 160 Yes. First of all, I'm thrilled.
I'm ecstatic that I get to explain Chevron deference.

Speaker 64 Right now, people are pulling over.

Speaker 56 They're like, oh, my gosh.

Speaker 42 Chevron deference.

Speaker 24 I can't go to work.

Speaker 18 I'm about to wet my pants.

Speaker 78 I'm so excited.

Speaker 160 Okay, so chevron deference is this legal doctrine created out of whole cloth by the devil himself within the federal court system.

Speaker 160 And it says that the courts, rather than doing their own thinking, are just going to defer to executive branch bureaucratic agencies when they interpret a regulation developed by that agency.

Speaker 160 In other words, hello, Mr. Fox, here are the keys to the hen house.
Please enjoy it. That's what we do.

Speaker 160 Now, for reasons that astound me, for reasons that sometimes caused me to argue with Justice Scalia when I'd go to dinner with him,

Speaker 160 that is a doctrine that doesn't make sense. And yet Justice Scalia

Speaker 160 supported it in one way or another.

Speaker 160 Judge Gorsuch appears to have real concerns with chevron difference.

Speaker 160 And he pointed out that this is a doctrine that runs against the doctrine of separation of powers embedded deeply within the Constitution.

Speaker 160 And I just, I had a huge grin on my face when I was reading that opinion. It was fantastic.

Speaker 53 Because this essentially means like if the EPA has a regulation and there's disagreement about it,

Speaker 53 the legal system just says, ask the EPA what they meant.

Speaker 160 Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
And if other people disagree with the EPA's interpretation of what it meant, they say ask the EPA. And whatever the EPA stands, says stands.
And that's a problem.

Speaker 75 That's really a big problem. So, Mike,

Speaker 103 help me out on this.

Speaker 39 I've had a

Speaker 28 problem necessarily with

Speaker 77 some of the direction that this president is taking.

Speaker 166 But I'm really.

Speaker 160 I was afraid you were going to tell me you didn't have a problem with Chevron.

Speaker 156 I was.

Speaker 36 Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 57 I know.

Speaker 72 The controversy.

Speaker 131 People would have been fighting across the country over this.

Speaker 53 Mike Lee was actually legitimately excited to answer the Chevron deference question.

Speaker 56 Can you point that out? God bless you. God bless it.

Speaker 104 So, Mike, my problem has been

Speaker 134 with the lack of concern on

Speaker 122 the number of

Speaker 122 executive orders that are being issued.

Speaker 94 Do you have a problem with the

Speaker 107 system that we're using here with this president?

Speaker 77 Is it any different?

Speaker 21 Or is it just my perception?

Speaker 160 It's not now and never has been, never will be, the number of executive orders that are a problem. I said this repeatedly throughout the eight years of President Obama's presidency.

Speaker 160 It's not the number that matters. Right.
It's the nature of the executive orders. Right.
It's how they're used. It's whether or not they're used in a manner authorized by law.

Speaker 130 So are these executive orders falling in line with what is authorized?

Speaker 160 So far, the executive orders on their face don't fly in the face of the law. So far, these executive orders could be implemented in a manner fully consistent with the law.

Speaker 160 Now, that doesn't mean that all executive orders this president issues will necessarily, going forward, fall into that category, but I haven't seen one yet that I look at and say he doesn't have authority to do that.

Speaker 38 Oh, that's really good. Great news.

Speaker 75 Did he

Speaker 160 there are some ambiguities in this in this order we were talking about earlier?

Speaker 160 There is some language in there that, depending on how it's implemented, could cause a problem. That's why I'm watching that one carefully.

Speaker 127 Like what?

Speaker 160 Okay.

Speaker 160 You're going to yell at me for getting into this level of detail, but

Speaker 160 there are subsequently enacted provisions of the Immigration Code.

Speaker 144 Hold on just a second, Jeffy.

Speaker 87 Assuming you're awake by the end of this, wake me so I can yell at him for getting into the weeds.

Speaker 48 Go ahead. Go ahead, Mike.
What now?

Speaker 160 Bit can be read to restrict

Speaker 160 any type of effort on the part of the president to deal with the visa issuance program

Speaker 168 process.

Speaker 160 And depending on how the courts interpret that, that could end up creating a problem.

Speaker 160 Likewise, depending on how they interpret this, this could cause other problems. I don't want to get into all the details of that.

Speaker 160 I don't want to pick any fights that the administration doesn't need picked. Okay.

Speaker 53 People are like, oh, go back to Chevron deference after that one.

Speaker 21 One last question.

Speaker 122 Mitt Romney said he won't rule anything out, but he won't rule anything in yet.

Speaker 29 He's not sure if Oren Hatch is going to run for Senate.

Speaker 81 How do you feel about your partner being possibly Mitt Romney?

Speaker 160 You know, look, Mitt Romney is a great guy.

Speaker 160 The not ruling anything in, not ruling anything out describes the entire context of the Utah Senate race coming up in 2018. Nobody knows what the heck is going on.

Speaker 160 Nobody knows who's running and who isn't.

Speaker 160 I have absolutely no idea how to predict this thing.

Speaker 160 So I don't know what to say. I think people, before they decide they're going to get in, kind of like having their name floated out there, and they enjoy the process a lot.

Speaker 160 Sometimes that causes the process to drag out too far. But we still don't know whether Senator Hatch is going to seek re-election.
And I suspect that would strongly influence whether or not

Speaker 160 Mitt Romney decides to get in.

Speaker 60 Hey, do you have a second to hang on for one more?

Speaker 38 Or do you have to run?

Speaker 160 Hey, for you, anything.

Speaker 69 Okay.

Speaker 160 You let me talk about Chevron Deference.

Speaker 56 I know. I know.

Speaker 45 You owe us.

Speaker 43 You owe the whole nation for that.

Speaker 124 Hang on just a second then.

Speaker 49 I want to talk to you a little bit about Goldline.

Speaker 109 New report from the Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, finds that higher gold prices paired with rising bond yields is one trend to watch to

Speaker 93 signal impending market volatility.

Speaker 87 I don't even know what the hell I just read.

Speaker 42 I will tell you,

Speaker 60 I'm just being straight with you.

Speaker 28 I will tell you this.

Speaker 131 Yesterday on

Speaker 50 Bloomberg, they had a bunch of charts, and I think

Speaker 109 part of it was some of the charts were talking about this.

Speaker 101 The lack of

Speaker 134 concern is actually starting to concern people.

Speaker 134 There is such an arrogance and a lack of concern, and and we're here at historic highs.

Speaker 28 And the big money is starting to pull back and say, wait a minute, it looks like something may be coming.

Speaker 87 And they're talking now in March.

Speaker 57 Now, I have no idea.

Speaker 65 I have no idea.

Speaker 87 I do know that at some point, we're going to have to pay for this because this problem is a mathematical problem.

Speaker 142 It's not a political problem.

Speaker 104 Nobody can solve this. This is math.

Speaker 83 It's like the speed of light.

Speaker 39 You can't break it.

Speaker 114 You can't have this kind of a debt print this kind of money, be this out of control, and have the rest of the world as unstable as it is

Speaker 121 and be fine.

Speaker 33 Mike,

Speaker 117 I want to talk to you a little bit, and this is really kind of on the Berkeley situation.

Speaker 129 We have bad guys on both sides.

Speaker 72 We have the extreme

Speaker 105 right that is frightening, the alt-right, that is truly frightening.

Speaker 124 And then we have the

Speaker 77 left that was burning Starbucks down.

Speaker 87 You have now people in Congress talking about impeachment.

Speaker 28 You have the press saying we're in a constitutional crisis, which we're not.

Speaker 80 Are you concerned that the left is playing this so hard

Speaker 105 and

Speaker 130 the Trump administration is such a counterpuncher that we could find ourselves boxed into a place to where we really are not talking to each other?

Speaker 130 Oh, sure.

Speaker 160 I'm always concerned about that. That's always a risk.

Speaker 55 I hope that doesn't happen.

Speaker 160 I think there are ways we can avoid it, and I think we can keep the dialogue going and keep the dialogue as civil as we can. The only people we can control are ourselves.

Speaker 160 For each one of us, that is true. We can't control anyone else's words but our own.
And bad things happen when we try. That's what happens when people start burning down Starbucks.

Speaker 160 If they're trying to control somebody else's words, that's always a bad idea.

Speaker 27 Mike, thank you so much.

Speaker 129 And I thank you so much for your reason and your compassion and your decency in Washington.

Speaker 158 One of the good guys, Senator Mike Lee from Utah.

Speaker 25 Back in a minute.

Speaker 22 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 53 Lots of complaints, Glenn. I mean, you know, you are.
You're basically mainstream media at this point.

Speaker 61 I know.

Speaker 90 Stand in line for the complaints.

Speaker 53 They're saying, a lot of people saying...

Speaker 66 Don't call it a Muslim ban. It's not a Muslim ban.

Speaker 53 Apparently during the conversation, you actually mentioned the word Muslim ban

Speaker 53 in that lead-up question to Mike Lee. Right.

Speaker 31 And first of all,

Speaker 28 please make note that the first time I was on the air after this so-called Muslim ban, I was talking about how it was.

Speaker 2 There you go again, calling it a Muslim ban.

Speaker 28 That it wasn't a Muslim ban.

Speaker 122 Right.

Speaker 92 That he

Speaker 92 was a little bit more than.

Speaker 101 That

Speaker 120 it was the media jumping on it because they didn't read the order.

Speaker 121 And then on top of that is the president.

Speaker 118 The president called it a ban while he was signing it.

Speaker 43 The dumbest thing he could do.

Speaker 104 I mean, that's why the lazy press was calling it a Muslim ban because he called it a ban. And that was following a campaign where he said, we're going to ban Muslims.

Speaker 31 Right.

Speaker 53 And I think it's important to note, and we have noted it a thousand times.

Speaker 53 The policy that Trump proposed during the campaign

Speaker 53 was a Muslim

Speaker 53 campaign. Was a Muslim ban.
Yes. A complete and total shutdown of all Muslims coming into the country.

Speaker 112 And that's not what this is.

Speaker 53 That is a policy that we loudly opposed, and I think is completely unconstitutional. That being said, this policy is not that policy.
So the policy he's implemented here

Speaker 53 has very little

Speaker 53 relationship to the one he proposed in the campaign. And that's like I can understand how a liberal would say, wait a minute, he said he wanted a Muslim ban.

Speaker 53 Now this does some, this would ban some Muslims from coming into the country, not certainly not all, and in very specific circumstances.

Speaker 53 And I can understand if you're a liberal, you're going to say, well, this is what he's trying to do, and this is just step one to get there.

Speaker 53 I can tell you that if Barack Obama, and we did have these conversations, Barack Obama was proposing bans on certain types of guns.

Speaker 53 We said this is a first step down the road of him trying to get rid of all the guns. And I honestly believe that.
So I can understand the left thinking that way.

Speaker 53 However, it's important for us on the right to make sure that these things don't go down this road.

Speaker 82 So here's the thing.

Speaker 81 Let me ask you this, and let me talk to the right here.

Speaker 84 Which would be a better

Speaker 105 strategy to win?

Speaker 87 If you're trying to win, which would be a better strategy?

Speaker 123 I can't believe you're for this Muslim ban.

Speaker 105 Well, A,

Speaker 49 I'm not for a Muslim ban.

Speaker 81 I stood against a Muslim ban when he proposed that, but that's not what what this is.

Speaker 82 This is too about

Speaker 124 okay. Hang on just a second.

Speaker 85 A, have you read it?

Speaker 156 No, I have.

Speaker 77 You should read it because then you'll understand.

Speaker 106 Now, when I read it,

Speaker 13 if I read it, these people that say, read the bill.

Speaker 106 If I read it,

Speaker 136 I can read it with your eyes because I remember how I felt about Barack Obama.

Speaker 93 Now, imagine having this conversation.

Speaker 72 And I've had this conversation and it works.

Speaker 85 But anyway,

Speaker 104 I understand because I felt this way about Barack Obama.

Speaker 136 Remember when I said he's trying to ban all the guns and you said, no, he's not.

Speaker 76 And I said, this is the first step. And you said, no, he's not.
All we've done is switched places right now.

Speaker 84 It's because you don't trust this guy.

Speaker 93 But unlike some people on your side who said, no, he's not, I'm going to say, well, that's what he said during the campaign.

Speaker 131 And so I'm going to stand with you to make sure that he doesn't do anything unconstitutional.

Speaker 45 And so far, he hasn't.

Speaker 29 Right.

Speaker 114 And I want you to know, if he does, I'm going to stand right with you against a Muslim ban.

Speaker 112 But that's not what this is.

Speaker 131 But I see your concern.

Speaker 84 I know why you feel this way. I could read this

Speaker 93 executive order and say, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 50 This could be a slippery slope.

Speaker 76 And the next thing, but why buy that trouble now?

Speaker 32 And how far would that have gone with us in 2009? Would have gone a really long way. If you would have had to have done that with us, with Obama, okay, I can see your concerns.

Speaker 32 We'll be with you if it goes down that road.

Speaker 32 We were never treated that way.

Speaker 49 You didn't see the, did you see the article that came out about me, how Glenn Beck won the hearts of the land?

Speaker 74 I did read that.

Speaker 55 Yeah, yeah, it was great.

Speaker 43 Did you notice three times in that article that the writer said, even though we don't agree on policies,

Speaker 93 how can we not listen to this guy?

Speaker 89 It's because I came out and they asked me at the end, so what can we do?

Speaker 112 And I said, somebody brave enough has to stand up and bleed all over themselves.

Speaker 144 You have to cut your own risk or your own wrist and show that you don't care.

Speaker 43 If it means you go out of business, if it means you become unpopular, you don't care.

Speaker 162 You'll bleed all over and drain yourself of blood.

Speaker 76 If that's what it takes, then that's what I'll do.

Speaker 38 Metaphorically speaking.

Speaker 36 Right. But

Speaker 104 you can just go to people and say, look, Glenn Beck advocates suicide.

Speaker 174 I understand how you feel.

Speaker 114 And I may have caused you to feel some of those things.

Speaker 112 Yeah. But that's not what's happening right now.

Speaker 37 And the guy who wrote that article was willing to do that.

Speaker 78 Yeah. And surprisingly, he

Speaker 66 kind of put his article where

Speaker 32 his mouth was with you. And he went out and wrote a really fair article.

Speaker 107 I'm telling you right now that there is a chance that

Speaker 60 I have prayed and thanked God for the last two weeks, every day.

Speaker 109 I told you for the last five years this couldn't happen, Lord.

Speaker 90 I told you this wasn't going to happen.

Speaker 136 I told you there was no way, but I'll keep standing where you want me to stand, but I've told you there's no way. I cannot believe the miracle that you are doing right now.

Speaker 82 Now, you're not seeing it because they're only the seeds, but the seeds are falling into fertile ground.

Speaker 59 I thought there was no fertile ground.

Speaker 114 But right now, because there are those on the, and this is going to change as soon as they start running the president, and that's about, what, eight months from now?

Speaker 83 As soon as they decide to kick into presidential high gear.

Speaker 121 But right now, you have people, Democrats, who are looking at the riots on the streets.

Speaker 140 Democrats, and I don't mean the people in Washington, D.C., nor do I even mean the people in the press.

Speaker 99 I mean your friends who are seeing those people riot on the streets and burn Starbucks down and go, that's not what I want to be with.

Speaker 93 But we're not giving them any place to run to.

Speaker 114 But we have to give them a place to run to and say, I get it.

Speaker 73 I get it. I know.
I know.

Speaker 90 I know.

Speaker 90 I know.

Speaker 93 Glenn, he's saying all these crazy things.

Speaker 105 I know.

Speaker 104 Some of those crazy things you're hearing in a different way because you don't understand

Speaker 60 where that has come from.

Speaker 112 For instance, the thing where he said about the press doesn't report

Speaker 143 any of these

Speaker 11 terrorist attacks.

Speaker 83 He said that yesterday.

Speaker 108 Now,

Speaker 75 I don't know what he meant, but I could read it into this way.

Speaker 77 And to me, this will make sense.

Speaker 112 And I think this is the way many Trump supporters hear it.

Speaker 87 The press doesn't want to report the terrorist attacks like Fort Hood.

Speaker 83 They didn't. They said that's workplace violence.

Speaker 87 The government said it was workplace violence and the media went right along with it.

Speaker 113 When they did San Bernardino, They immediately, they did not want to say that that was a terrorist attack.

Speaker 43 They wanted so desperately to paint that that into a guy who was pushed because of the Christian religion, forcing this guy to go a Christmas

Speaker 67 party.

Speaker 166 Remember?

Speaker 76 So when he said yesterday, there's a lot of people that don't want to report on it.

Speaker 75 I don't know if that's what he meant, but I'm on guard in case he does.

Speaker 104 He does think that there's other things that are happening that nobody knows about except his special friends at, you know, InfoWars.

Speaker 72 I'm on guard for that.

Speaker 59 He might mean that.

Speaker 43 But the regular Joe in the street,

Speaker 93 what they're hearing him say is, yeah, the media doesn't want to say that there's a problem with Islam.

Speaker 113 And you know what?

Speaker 114 63% of your fellow Democrats believe that Islamists are just as dangerous as Christians.

Speaker 171 That's crazy.

Speaker 136 Now let me play devil's advocate because I could hear them say back to me, Glenn,

Speaker 115 there is people are people.

Speaker 115 People are people.

Speaker 163 And so the average Muslim in America probably is not, Muslim is not more dangerous.

Speaker 59 But you're calling all Muslims

Speaker 27 Islamists.

Speaker 105 And so they're splitting hairs on Islamist and Muslim.

Speaker 124 So if you want to be clear on this, I would say to my Democratic friend, do you believe that Islamists, do you know what that means?

Speaker 28 What's the difference between Islamist and a Muslim?

Speaker 43 An Islamist means somebody who believes in Sharia law, that it is force to make all people comply, or I can take you as a slave.

Speaker 138 So are you an Islamist?

Speaker 114 Are Islamists just as dangerous as anybody else from any other religion?

Speaker 8 No, they're much more dangerous.

Speaker 29 Muslims?

Speaker 112 Well, if you take all the Islamists out, I bet they are just the same.

Speaker 124 It's the Islamists that we're having a problem with.

Speaker 112 We should in this country have an Islamist ban, but not a Muslim ban.

Speaker 174 But if you're an Islamist, there's no way you should come to our country.

Speaker 114 I don't want you living in my neighborhood, and I don't think Nancy Pelosi wants a Islamist living in her neighborhood.

Speaker 136 But this requires us to be able to have a conversation beyond 144 characters or a headline.

Speaker 28 I said to somebody yesterday, we were having a conversation and I said, you know what?

Speaker 65 I really think

Speaker 135 we just have to have brutal conversations to where we say, look, I'm going to say some things and I think we should start doing this.

Speaker 79 I'm going to start saying some things and using the best professor I ever had, the best teacher I ever had was was a guy at Yale.

Speaker 77 His name is Wayne Meeks.

Speaker 65 I don't know if he still teaches, but if, I mean, if you could ever go learn anything from Wayne Meeks, you should.

Speaker 21 This guy would push me every single class, and he would challenge me every class, and he would argue the other side every class.

Speaker 120 I thought for the first couple of classes that he was on one side.

Speaker 167 Then he started arguing the other side.

Speaker 172 And I'm like, no, this guy's on the other side.

Speaker 167 Then he would argue on the other side again.

Speaker 82 He took every side of an argument.

Speaker 112 No matter what side I was on, he pushed me on the other side.

Speaker 20 So it turns out I don't know what side he was on.

Speaker 112 That's what has to start happening.

Speaker 134 We have to be able to have friends and a media source, a circle of friends that push us, push each other so hard

Speaker 30 that we're uncomfortable.

Speaker 53 Yeah, and it's amazing. I mean, we talk about this poll of Democrats.

Speaker 53 I don't know what what the reasoning could be. This is not a debatable situation.
Let me give you this actual statistics. Again, this comes from Obama's State Department, the numbers for 2015.

Speaker 53 The top terrorist attack, the top terrorist group that were the most attacks and the total deaths, the Taliban,

Speaker 53 1,093 attacks, causing 4,512 deaths. Obviously, Islamic extremists.
Secondly, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, ISIL or ISIS, 931 attacks, responsible for 6,050 deaths.

Speaker 53 Number three, Boko Haram, again, Islamic extremists, 491 attacks, 5,450 deaths. Those are the top three.
The next one, in case you're wondering how,

Speaker 53 you know, because we're talking about white Christians being the danger here, the Maoist Communist Party of India.

Speaker 53 The communists. The Communists, 343 attacks for 176 deaths.

Speaker 32 Where's the Mormon mafia there?

Speaker 78 The Mormons?

Speaker 118 The Mormon mafia.

Speaker 53 Shockingly not listed.

Speaker 29 Where's Jewish, Christian, anybody?

Speaker 53 The next, the only other one that's listed in the top five is the Kurdistan Workers' Party.

Speaker 16 Workers' Party. Right.

Speaker 53 238 and 287 deaths.

Speaker 5 But again,

Speaker 26 all of them.

Speaker 53 There is not, there's not, yes, there have been incidents where I am completely comfortable

Speaker 53 calling them terrorist attacks, shootings and terrible things that have happened. But when you talk about it as a global issue, there is not another thing to talk about other than Islamic extremism.

Speaker 62 I noticed you didn't name Timothy McVay.

Speaker 53 Oh, yeah, communists are next.

Speaker 53 But again, that's the fourth one down. The top three are all Islamic extremists.

Speaker 12 Except for Timothy McVay.

Speaker 66 That was 1995, and he was also an atheist.

Speaker 51 So

Speaker 26 now, this:

Speaker 21 when an emergency or a crisis strikes, your family and community is going to depend on you.

Speaker 93 So there's no such thing as being overprepared.

Speaker 76 Worse yet, not being self-reliant at all.

Speaker 84 Everybody who called us crazy

Speaker 93 is now doing this.

Speaker 65 It's incredible to me how many people are saying, I went out and I bought some extra food.

Speaker 170 I don't know how to do this food storage thing. I went out and I'm looking to go buy a farm.

Speaker 49 I'm moving away from Los Angeles because this thing could break down.

Speaker 66 Really? I bet you heard that all week last night.

Speaker 47 All week long.

Speaker 93 And it took a lot of strength from God not to say, really?

Speaker 15 Here's what I would recommend.

Speaker 93 There is something in the collective gut.

Speaker 97 Both sides know it.

Speaker 93 We dismiss it if our side is in power.

Speaker 104 Don't dismiss it.

Speaker 60 That's a red herring.

Speaker 53 888-727-BEC.

Speaker 158 I actually can't believe I'm saying I'm excited for this, but I am excited for the Ted Cruz Bernie Sanders debate tonight on CNN.

Speaker 73 I do.

Speaker 53 I care too. I mean, because both of them seem to be people who care about actual ideas.

Speaker 64 This is the one that we wanted.

Speaker 42 It's a little late.

Speaker 112 It is a little late, and it's meaningless.

Speaker 53 But

Speaker 53 it is going to be interesting because we're seeing now reports that they might wait till 2018 to try to repeal Obamacare and replace it with some sort of something.

Speaker 97 And if we can, I don't want to see the debate.

Speaker 93 I mean, the debate I really want is Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz on socialism versus capitalism.

Speaker 25 That's what I want.

Speaker 172 I want a solid, no-straw man, best two debaters on that.

Speaker 97 Because that's the debate we should be having. That is the debate that the millennials want to have right now.

Speaker 129 Okay, so all those were bad.

Speaker 93 I've lived in Texas before, Arizona,

Speaker 126 Florida.

Speaker 19 We had Jeb Bush was a great governor.

Speaker 101 Greg Abbott is, he is a superstar.

Speaker 20 Anyway, he was talking about the Convention of States.

Speaker 164 We'll talk about that.

Speaker 27 Also, I want to spend a few minutes on Matthew McConaughey, something we didn't play when it first came out,

Speaker 164 an epic take on the anti-Trump Hollywood that

Speaker 112 I'm not sure he's saying what

Speaker 62 Hollywood thinks he's saying or what Trump supporters think he's saying.

Speaker 20 We'll get into that.

Speaker 113 Also, Jake Tapper from CNN and Tommy from The Blaze was on Bill Maher.

Speaker 17 We're going to start there right now.

Speaker 17 I will make a stand.

Speaker 17 I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand.
Cause we have won. I will be my drum.

Speaker 17 I have made my choice. We will overcome.

Speaker 17 Cause we are one.

Speaker 24 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 16 Hello, America.

Speaker 49 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 16 On Friday, Tommy Larin

Speaker 81 was on Bill Maher, and I didn't get a chance to see it.

Speaker 105 Stu saw it and said there was a remarkable moment that he played for us.

Speaker 163 And I have to play for you because there is no way I would have gotten this right.

Speaker 68 There's no way.

Speaker 65 I barely know my own name.

Speaker 65 But she was in a debate and you know what that's like being in a debate and the whole table was against her.

Speaker 112 And they were talking about Benghazi and the guy, unfairly, because it has nothing to do with anything.

Speaker 94 Said, oh, you care so much.

Speaker 104 Can you name the guys from Benghazi?

Speaker 65 Can you name them?

Speaker 114 Now, I've met them.

Speaker 43 We've had them on the show.

Speaker 53 Yeah, other people. Yeah, because she was talking about the people.
They were talking about the people who died. Obviously, we haven't had them on the show, but the other

Speaker 53 people were involved in the incident. Correct.

Speaker 99 Who were there at the moment?

Speaker 53 We've had them on the air. I can't remember anybody's name.

Speaker 78 I can't remember.

Speaker 65 I don't remember the name of Marcus Luttrell's SEAL team, and that's horrible because

Speaker 166 I know all of them and how much it means to Marcus.

Speaker 50 You know, thank God for Google.

Speaker 43 There's no way.

Speaker 83 Could you have passed that?

Speaker 56 No, God. Could you have passed that?

Speaker 57 No way. No.

Speaker 57 I don't know anybody.

Speaker 164 Here's Tommy.

Speaker 175 But no, on the Bengali, like, you all can talk about that, but what were the names of the guys who died? Like, you don't know. You know, Chris Stevens, the ambassador.

Speaker 53 Okay. Chris Stevens.

Speaker 55 Glenn Gordy. Glenn Woods.

Speaker 34 All right, good.

Speaker 26 Good for you.

Speaker 26 Good for you.

Speaker 2 And the other guy the other day was Ryan.

Speaker 22 Was Ryan Dunn?

Speaker 26 Thank God I know.

Speaker 55 I haven't heard their names in years.

Speaker 53 I know all their names, and thank goodness he went to Dunver.

Speaker 53 I mean, that is freaking incredible. I'm sorry.

Speaker 58 If you've never done a show like that,

Speaker 53 if you've never done a show like that,

Speaker 53 in the middle of

Speaker 53 a debate like that, obviously

Speaker 53 exactly. You're thinking, you're not thinking that way.
That's an amazing moment. She deserves a lot of credit for that.

Speaker 53 I will say, completely unfair question. Has nothing to do with whether she knows anything about Benghazi or not.

Speaker 53 It's like to ask him, if you were to reverse to him, who I don't even know who it was, again, I don't know his name either.

Speaker 53 If he was a guy guy who fought against gun violence and you asked him, well, name me some victims from X, Y, or Z shooting that you've been blabbing about all the time.

Speaker 77 Name any of the names of the children of Sandy Hook.

Speaker 65 Right, exactly.

Speaker 104 That is so unfair to ask and doesn't discredit you if

Speaker 99 you're arguing for gun control.

Speaker 93 The names of the children don't matter.

Speaker 15 They don't matter.

Speaker 92 It's the idea that you are fighting for.

Speaker 53 And of course, they do matter so much

Speaker 54 in a different

Speaker 42 conversation.

Speaker 53 Yes, exactly. When you're talking about policy, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 65 That's trying to, again,

Speaker 65 trying to emotionalize all of it.

Speaker 104 You don't have to, you don't, it's why we don't have

Speaker 77 the families of the victims give the sentence or be on the jury.

Speaker 115 Right.

Speaker 43 You want to remove the emotion from it so you can say, this is what's logical.

Speaker 74 The problem is the conservatives and the liberals, the liberals, we say, well, they just personalize it.

Speaker 131 They make it about the children.

Speaker 80 Let's talk about the actual facts of the guns.

Speaker 166 Right.

Speaker 59 Let's talk about the actual facts on the ground, not the names of the Benghazi victims.

Speaker 113 It's not about them personally.

Speaker 162 Yes.

Speaker 65 Should we know them?

Speaker 43 Should we recognize their story?

Speaker 47 Yes.

Speaker 79 But that's not what we're upset about, that one guy who we happen to know was killed.

Speaker 152 We should have outrage that they were killed without knowing their names, right?

Speaker 58 Okay,

Speaker 105 and we, what we've done is we say, hey, stop personalizing it, but then we personalize it by making it about Trump or Obama.

Speaker 91 Stop it.

Speaker 66 Well, I mean, look,

Speaker 53 I just think, I mean, just to hear that, I mean, that is an incredible moment. And what a failure.
This goes from this guy.

Speaker 64 I mean, oh, you don't know.

Speaker 66 Oh, you don't know.

Speaker 53 I mean, they always say this.

Speaker 56 But he did know.

Speaker 112 He was naming them. After her.

Speaker 53 No, no, no. No, she said, I mean, excuse me, he said to her, you don't know, he accused Tommy of not knowing.

Speaker 62 Right. Which is interesting.

Speaker 152 That he started naming.

Speaker 70 He named the first one. He named the first

Speaker 174 and then he named the second one.

Speaker 163 Then he named the second one.

Speaker 49 Listen again.

Speaker 66 Let's listen one more time.

Speaker 175 But no, on the Benghazi, like you all can talk about that, but what were the names of the guys who died? Like, you don't know. You know, Chris Stevens, the ambassador.

Speaker 53 Chris Stevens.

Speaker 34 Gwen Gordon.

Speaker 55 Lev Gordon.

Speaker 22 He said of you. Good for you.

Speaker 2 And the other guy the other day was

Speaker 26 Brian Owens, yes. Good for you.

Speaker 53 I bet you, you know, he's preparing for that, right? Like,

Speaker 91 he knows he's going to try to trap her.

Speaker 53 And so he knows the names. Maybe, I mean, who knows? Maybe he's known the names the whole time, but assumes that she doesn't know the name.
This reminds me of that moment

Speaker 53 because you should always know the answer to your question when you're going into a moment like that. And remember the MSNBC thing, Pat? You'll remember this.

Speaker 53 Where the host was, you know, they were debating some Obama policy about economics.

Speaker 51 Oh, I love this.

Speaker 14 This is my favorite.

Speaker 53 I'm trying to know I got it.

Speaker 34 Do you have the audio handy? I don't know.

Speaker 14 Okay, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 118 She said, no, she says, you're not an economist.

Speaker 53 Where's your degree from? You have a degree in economics?

Speaker 78 Yes, I do.

Speaker 2 Highest honors.

Speaker 42 Yeah, here it is.

Speaker 34 This is what happened.

Speaker 176 We were looking at going, reverting into a depression at that point. Everyone, the Federalist.
I disagree that we were going into a depression, but go ahead. Do you have a degree in economics?

Speaker 176 Yes, ma'am, I do. Highest honors.

Speaker 42 Okay, so

Speaker 22 I love that.

Speaker 34 So good. I love that.
So good. And that's on the level there with the Tommy moment because he thought he had her.

Speaker 53 He thought he had her.

Speaker 64 And she pulled all four of those names out.

Speaker 53 It's pretty impressive.

Speaker 133 So can I ask you a question?

Speaker 72 I defended Milo Yapanopoulos.

Speaker 129 I despise that guy.

Speaker 93 I think he's a danger because he enjoys that we are in a post-fact world.

Speaker 129 Those are his words.

Speaker 142 I love it that we're in a post-fact world.

Speaker 51 And what he means by that is you can get get away with anything.

Speaker 136 All you have to do is ratchet up the emotion, and nobody cares what the facts are.

Speaker 60 And that's great.

Speaker 60 Now, there's an argument between some of my friends that he's not dangerous.

Speaker 89 He's just somebody who wants to be famous.

Speaker 129 And he doesn't necessarily believe in all of this stuff.

Speaker 21 Well, that's just as dangerous.

Speaker 82 Or he's being used by someone.

Speaker 77 Again, just as dangerous.

Speaker 113 I don't know because I don't know him, but I am wildly against him.

Speaker 93 However, shouldn't we be standing for his right to speak?

Speaker 173 Because I am.

Speaker 97 I think he should have been able to speak at Berkeley.

Speaker 83 We have to be able to have these conversations with one another.

Speaker 76 Now, he's different because he's just a bomb thrower.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I mean, but I mean. And so

Speaker 104 do we back bomb throwing or do we back people with really bad, for instance, oh, Richard Spencer, awful, awful Nazi. But aren't we glad that, for instance, Mein Kampf came out?

Speaker 53 Yeah, I'd rather have, I'd rather know what they're thinking honestly or try to push them down. And they still will believe the same things, right?

Speaker 53 I mean, it is amazing because they call people like Milo, whatever his name is, a flamethrower, you know, while at the same time, there are buildings in the area actually burning from the left.

Speaker 53 It's not worse, throwing flames, actually putting flames in the buildings and catching things on fire.

Speaker 53 So, I am a

Speaker 53 free speech absolutist, basically. So, I mean,

Speaker 53 I want it out there. I want to hear everybody's words.
I want to hear the worst things in society, and I want to be there to criticize them with my own words.

Speaker 87 Right now, there are people that are rooting for me to fire

Speaker 105 Tommy.

Speaker 39 Why?

Speaker 45 Let's just think this through.

Speaker 113 I am so

Speaker 122 I can't I listen to her and

Speaker 49 it's not the approach that I would take by any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 50 And I've talked to her about that.

Speaker 122 I've already done that approach.

Speaker 46 I know how that turns out. Doesn't work.

Speaker 48 Doesn't work.

Speaker 92 Now, it makes people feel good and it will make her very, very popular, but it won't change people's minds.

Speaker 31 That's my opinion.

Speaker 124 She has a different opinion.

Speaker 85 I don't agree with it.

Speaker 141 But shouldn't we allow people? Shouldn't we?

Speaker 105 I mean, I love

Speaker 53 encourage speech. Yeah, people encourage different approaches.

Speaker 134 People are encouraging me to fire her and encouraging her to quit.

Speaker 60 That's really fascinating to me. Fascinating to me.

Speaker 53 Like, we can't have different opinions and different approaches.

Speaker 53 We should encourage that. It's not even just, it's not like tolerating it.

Speaker 65 I've never wanting it.

Speaker 142 I've never called for Keith Oberman to be fired.

Speaker 65 I didn't call for Van Jones to be fired from the White House.

Speaker 43 I mean,

Speaker 47 I can't imagine disagreeing with anybody who has speech more than Milo, who I support being able to say these crazy things.

Speaker 60 I don't support him.

Speaker 89 I think he's a danger, but I think I should be allowed to say those things against him.

Speaker 3 But what do people do on Twitter?

Speaker 72 Try to shout me down from disagreeing with him because they think I want to shut him up.

Speaker 77 No, let him speak.

Speaker 31 Let him be heard.

Speaker 57 I encourage you to read.

Speaker 72 You know how I know the German people knew what was going on?

Speaker 93 Mein Kampf was a bigger seller than the Bible.

Speaker 56 It's all in there.

Speaker 67 They knew.

Speaker 93 You don't want to take him seriously?

Speaker 67 Well, that's your fault.

Speaker 127 You knew.

Speaker 104 You're held responsible.

Speaker 122 I want people to know.

Speaker 173 I want people to, we must as a society be able to have open conversation.

Speaker 173 And the only speech worth protecting is the speech you find abhorrent.

Speaker 99 Yes, I strongly disagree.

Speaker 118 But if I believe in the Constitution,

Speaker 167 Shouldn't and the American people

Speaker 104 shouldn't I also be able to say well well, that person,

Speaker 60 that person has a right to say those things, and I'll defend that person's right to say those things?

Speaker 135 Or is it up to me to say the people are too stupid to figure it out?

Speaker 86 They won't figure this out.

Speaker 19 The people are just too dumb.

Speaker 21 I should be their policeman on information.

Speaker 39 Principles

Speaker 124 matter.

Speaker 116 What are your principles?

Speaker 102 Now, if anyone on my network starts calling for violence,

Speaker 83 bombings,

Speaker 10 stringing people up,

Speaker 39 then I'm going to fire them.

Speaker 53 You're pretty safe on that.

Speaker 2 Pretty safe.

Speaker 93 Pretty safe. That's a pretty easy call.

Speaker 171 But if somebody just disagrees and their approach

Speaker 116 is different than mine,

Speaker 39 How do I condemn her?

Speaker 77 I've talked to her, but how do I condemn her for taking an approach that in many ways I took?

Speaker 77 All I say is, learn from my mistakes.

Speaker 121 But didn't our parents tell us to do that too?

Speaker 102 And how many of us did?

Speaker 122 Sometimes you have to learn it on your own.

Speaker 76 And I know I'm making plenty of mistakes myself.

Speaker 169 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 27 Let's go to the Matthew McConaughey

Speaker 129 audio. Do you still have that, Pat?

Speaker 49 The Matthew McConaughey audio,

Speaker 102 he was in the middle of an interview for a new movie that he's in.

Speaker 68 And

Speaker 46 if you don't have it, that's all right. We'll pick it up in a minute.

Speaker 76 He started in on

Speaker 76 the situation that we're in right now.

Speaker 89 Did you guys take that as a

Speaker 60 slap in Hollywood's face, a slap on the back of Donald Trump, or did you just take that as, hey,

Speaker 97 I think that maybe we should all simmer down.

Speaker 56 Do you have it, Pat? Yeah, I have it.

Speaker 48 Yeah, go ahead and play it.

Speaker 177 Every single American actor or arty type who comes over to London dumps on Trump. You all completely hate him.

Speaker 177 Do you think it's time that maybe Hollywood and the cultural elite of America gave this guy a break?

Speaker 159 Well, they don't have a choice now. He's our president.
And

Speaker 159 it's very dynamic and as divisive of an inauguration in time that we've ever had. At the same time, it's time for us to embrace, shake hands with this fact, and be constructive.

Speaker 159 with him over the next four years.

Speaker 159 So anyone, even those who most strongly may disagree with his principles or things he's said and done,

Speaker 19 which is another thing.

Speaker 159 We'll see what he does compared to what he had said.

Speaker 159 No matter how much you even disagreed along the way, it's time to think about how constructive can you be because he's our president for the next four years at least.

Speaker 55 Isn't that the president of the United States?

Speaker 112 Isn't that just common sense?

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 29 I mean, you can even look at it and say, Look, the guy wants a, what, a $1.1 or at least a $1 trillion stimulus package.

Speaker 129 Why would you be spitting on him when you know he punches back twice as hard?

Speaker 60 When you could get a lot of stuff done, I'm not condoning this because this is not what I want.

Speaker 90 I don't want a $1.1 trillion stimulus package, but he does.

Speaker 77 Why wouldn't you be embracing him instead of marching in the streets?

Speaker 65 $1 trillion

Speaker 60 can make a lot of things happen.

Speaker 27 Why wouldn't you on the left be going, you know what?

Speaker 45 Let's see where he's going.

Speaker 17 We could work with this.

Speaker 53 Think about this. This is a Republican president who proposed a $680 billion maternity leave and child care program.

Speaker 58 Okay.

Speaker 53 And day one of his presidency, there is a women's march against him for being, oh, so conservative.

Speaker 174 Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 53 Why wouldn't you instead, if you're a liberal, and believe me, I'm glad they're not doing this because it might very well work.

Speaker 53 But if you were a liberal and wanted to actually get things done and get these big programs locked in for all eternity, because when they come from Republicans, they will never go away.

Speaker 53 You would be able to lock these things in forever if you went to him and said, you know what, we don't really like this, you know, your immigration ban, but I don't even want to talk about that.

Speaker 53 Let's talk about your maternity leave program and get him, you know, because if you want to know the approach that's worked with Trump as far as moving him to the left, it's not yelling at him and screaming at him.

Speaker 9 It's Ivanka and Jared Kushner's approach.

Speaker 53 They're both Democrats. They've been, I mean, she leans very left on social issues.
And what have you seen? That proposal, for point example, one.

Speaker 53 Number two, all the executive orders that have come in,

Speaker 53 and Trump has reversed. He didn't reverse the LBGTQIA ban or

Speaker 53 executive order. He

Speaker 53 had a certain amount of care. He kept Obamacare.
He codified it. So far, he has.
But, I mean, we don't know what's going to happen with that when he's still talking about it.

Speaker 129 Well, he said yesterday that it would be at least a year before he'd get to that.

Speaker 76 The longer it drags out,

Speaker 170 the less it's coming out.

Speaker 53 But I mean, there's an approach that works with Trump, and it's working with him, as McConaughey's talking about. There's actually ground to gain there for them.

Speaker 53 I hope they continue to protest him in the streets because I think it hardens Trump against those positions, so it's very good for us.

Speaker 53 So, in a way, I really kind of hope they continue to really badge.

Speaker 170 You know,

Speaker 117 can I pick it up there?

Speaker 129 Because it's not very good for us when I come back.

Speaker 156 You're listening to the Glen Beck program,

Speaker 22 Mercury.

Speaker 109 This is the glenn beck program and as the glenn beck program continues

Speaker 53 here's where we left off so my point was in in many ways for conservative policies it's a really good thing that liberals are going nuts and reflexively before he's even done anything um uh protesting the president and basically calling him hitler because i think it uh i think it it basically hardens trump against the people doing that and so when they request their 680 million dollars in

Speaker 53 there's no doubt about that maternity leave, like he might say, you know what, I'm sick of these people. They didn't even give me a chance.
So screw them.

Speaker 53 I'm not doing those things that I promised during the campaign on that side.

Speaker 53 So I think it's helped, for example, get Neil Gorsuch

Speaker 53 through.

Speaker 53 Neil Gorsuch, he said he was going to pick from that list, but he may have picked one of the top three or four from that list.

Speaker 60 And he may have picked and then not defended them.

Speaker 77 And I think the way they're treating him now,

Speaker 102 I think he's going to be hardened and he'll be like, to hell with you.

Speaker 53 So that's really good for us.

Speaker 53 And my point before the break that you disagreed with, and I think I understand where they're coming from.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 40 But let me explain.

Speaker 2 There's nuance here.

Speaker 78 Yeah, there's nuance.

Speaker 53 But my point before that is, thank God they're out there protesting him on day one before he's even done anything, because I think it hardens him and it will help us policy-wise going forward.

Speaker 56 Okay.

Speaker 53 Might be a good thing for us.

Speaker 28 So totally agree with you on if we're looking at this as politics and we're looking how to play it.

Speaker 68 Okay.

Speaker 11 Totally agree with you.

Speaker 77 I think you'll totally agree with me also that when you say hardened, there comes a point to where hardened doesn't describe it.

Speaker 120 He counter punches.

Speaker 101 You hit him.

Speaker 129 He'll hit you twice as hard.

Speaker 75 He's hard.

Speaker 135 And you may not, yeah, and you may not even see it.

Speaker 105 He has said, I never forgive.

Speaker 60 He doesn't ask for forgiveness.

Speaker 60 And

Speaker 83 he's not a hypocrite because...

Speaker 92 He never forgives.

Speaker 60 He does not forget.

Speaker 92 He does not forgive.

Speaker 129 Those are his words.

Speaker 77 Well, I think a chapter in one of his books is about vengeance.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 46 So, I mean, you know, he does that.

Speaker 120 He's a counterpuncher.

Speaker 138 So

Speaker 93 when you look at what the left is doing, they hit him.

Speaker 112 He's going to hit them back twice as hard.

Speaker 173 And at some point,

Speaker 131 think of this with the press.

Speaker 82 Do you think he's ever going to give on the press?

Speaker 163 Do you think he's ever going to surrender to the press?

Speaker 79 Ever?

Speaker 42 No. No.

Speaker 70 Too controlled, to right.

Speaker 119 Do you think he'll ever run out of his facts to make those points?

Speaker 168 No.

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 53 I mean, and he will praise the press at times when they do things that he likes. Correct.
Yes. He will never.

Speaker 49 But he'll never surrender this.

Speaker 104 As long as you're fighting him, he will never, ever surrender.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 49 And he'll ratchet it up and he'll, and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 28 Winning is what matters to him.

Speaker 116 At what point does the press say

Speaker 128 we're we're in trouble here because i don't i no longer count him as the loser in anything

Speaker 42 i don't see none

Speaker 29 yeah yeah you don't see him right you don't see him lose even when he goes bankrupt which he never ever does even when he settles court cases which i never settle never

Speaker 53 i never settle never while he's settling he still wins yes he still wins yeah he does i don't know how he does it but he he still wins are you getting tired of all the winning is not no i'm not actually but sure sounds like um the thing the the thing is is he's never going to give up and he'll find a way to win

Speaker 174 if the left continues to counter punch it is only going and it's so bad right now because he hasn't done anything

Speaker 60 He hadn't done anything yet. Nothing they should be

Speaker 41 just crazy about.

Speaker 14 That's for sure.

Speaker 60 I mean, if you look at the facts, not the media facts of a Muslim ban, but the actual facts, that's not what this is now.

Speaker 162 Could it become that?

Speaker 58 Yeah, it might.

Speaker 114 And I'll stand with you when it becomes that.

Speaker 104 But I can't stand with you now.

Speaker 171 And the more you do these things, the crazier you look.

Speaker 112 And so what happens?

Speaker 83 What happens is

Speaker 49 there are two sides of this country.

Speaker 133 There's four groups, I think, really.

Speaker 50 There are those on the uber-uber

Speaker 50 alt-right who are fascists.

Speaker 112 No ifs, ends, and buts.

Speaker 50 They are fascists, the alt-right.

Speaker 43 Then there are the anarchists on the left and who just want to burn the whole thing down.

Speaker 75 Neither one of them are anarchists.

Speaker 104 They're communists.

Speaker 27 Okay, nobody on the left wants to call them that, but that's what they are.

Speaker 104 They are advocating for something.

Speaker 21 They're not anarchists.

Speaker 136 They're dressed like anarchists, but they want to burn the system down so they can have their communist redistribution of wealth, free everything state.

Speaker 39 Well, the fascists aren't just fascists.

Speaker 82 They're anarchists too.

Speaker 113 They want to burn everything down so they can have their fascistic state.

Speaker 105 There's another there's another group that is harder to spot, and those are the

Speaker 99 very,

Speaker 87 very wealthy globalists that would like to see the whole thing burned down so they can reset everything to their liking.

Speaker 49 But let's leave them off the board.

Speaker 94 I don't know any Democrat who agrees with the guys who are dressed in black who are burning down Starbucks.

Speaker 102 Do you know a single Democrat like that?

Speaker 15 No, I don't know. Okay.

Speaker 80 Do you know any Republicans personally that are like those alt-right guys who are just...

Speaker 45 Okay.

Speaker 3 So I don't know those people.

Speaker 53 I mean, obviously, we see reporting reporting on them and

Speaker 53 interviewed and they

Speaker 23 exist.

Speaker 56 Yes.

Speaker 45 They exist.

Speaker 33 Now,

Speaker 89 do I know people on the Democratic side that say that's not us, but I understand them.

Speaker 58 I do. You could probably get there.

Speaker 100 Yep.

Speaker 68 I know people who are not alt-writers, but say, hey, look, they kind of helped Trump get in and, you know, whatever.

Speaker 74 You're crazy.

Speaker 81 That's what the Democrats did with the Marxists.

Speaker 106 They brought them in thinking we could use them as fuel of fire.

Speaker 105 And who won that battle?

Speaker 31 Where are the moderate blue-dog Democrats now?

Speaker 68 Nowhere.

Speaker 129 The other two factor factions in this country make up the vast majority.

Speaker 163 And they are the people

Speaker 163 that are neither alt-right nor anarchist/slash communists.

Speaker 106 They're the main center who may have flirted with these edges, but now see, wait, this is getting dangerous.

Speaker 39 This is out of control.

Speaker 60 The crazies are starting to run the asylum.

Speaker 114 This is not making me comfortable.

Speaker 115 If you understand

Speaker 126 that the main

Speaker 29 swath of Americans

Speaker 136 are not these radicals,

Speaker 120 now is is the time we can come together.

Speaker 49 Now is the time that you can come together.

Speaker 132 But it requires you, because you're in power, means, doesn't mean as much when you're on the losing side.

Speaker 39 Because you're in power, you can go to them and be magnanimous.

Speaker 104 You know,

Speaker 105 comforting the ones who lost.

Speaker 50 and reaching out to the ones who feel disenfranchised.

Speaker 21 think how far that would have gone for you if somebody would have come to you and said, Pat, I know exactly how you feel.

Speaker 76 And I'm sorry, we got a bunch of crazies over here.

Speaker 49 And I'm keeping my eye on the crazies too.

Speaker 129 And I don't think that we're out of control like you do, but I recognize those crazies over there and they scare the hell out of me too.

Speaker 136 So I understand that.

Speaker 105 And I'm with you.

Speaker 70 But Pat,

Speaker 130 you're not helping by going out and marching and

Speaker 121 supporting these people who are throwing Molotov cocktails,

Speaker 81 which we never did.

Speaker 26 But

Speaker 132 going out and being seen right now, I can guarantee you that everybody, every sane person in this audience,

Speaker 56 if

Speaker 116 big named people

Speaker 49 that were not part of politics and have proven themselves not a part of politics had come to us and said, guys,

Speaker 107 you know, I don't agree with you, but listen, I'll be with you in the summer,

Speaker 89 but you got to give this guy a chance.

Speaker 116 And when he starts doing things, if he's doing what you say, I'll be with you.

Speaker 136 I would have been on the air saying, let's wait until summer.

Speaker 77 Yeah. Let's give them a chance.

Speaker 43 And if they don't do it, well, then we know that person.

Speaker 60 If they're not with us, then we know that person's discredited.

Speaker 32 And we could do it that way,

Speaker 32 you know, because right now, like you said, Republicans are in power. Or there's re-education camps.

Speaker 1 You could go that way too.

Speaker 32 And maybe you put them in a re-education camp until they finally think like we do.

Speaker 56 Right.

Speaker 34 We could do it that way.

Speaker 34 We could go that way.

Speaker 17 That's another option.

Speaker 30 And I've asked so many people.

Speaker 76 It's not a bad option, right?

Speaker 163 I've asked so many people recently when they're saying, you know,

Speaker 4 they'll never bend.

Speaker 51 I love this. And they will never bend.

Speaker 32 If we don't try to work with the other side in this country, and again, like you mentioned earlier in the show, we're not talking about dealing with ISIS this way.

Speaker 32 We're not talking about holding hands with ISIS and loving them back.

Speaker 70 Or the Muslim Brotherhood.

Speaker 40 Or the Muslim Brotherhood. No.

Speaker 56 No one likes that.

Speaker 58 I'm talking about Democrats.

Speaker 32 I'm talking about Democrats in this country. So, of course, that's how you'd want to deal with them.

Speaker 59 I'm even talking about Republicans who voted differently than you.

Speaker 56 Right, right.

Speaker 171 I mean, that's crazy.

Speaker 71 Because the alternative to that is

Speaker 12 Re-education camps are a combination of the two.

Speaker 78 It really is. Really is.
It really is.

Speaker 63 I've asked that of so many people when they'll say, you know, you got to fight fire with fire. We got to fight fire with fire.

Speaker 104 We got to take them out.

Speaker 93 Some people on Twitter are saying we got to kill them all.

Speaker 69 Come on. Kill them all?

Speaker 149 Have you not seen the pictures of what civil war looked like in America?

Speaker 3 Is that really what you want?

Speaker 43 Because I'm not with you on that.

Speaker 58 Yeah, I'm going to take a flat.

Speaker 53 I'm going to take a hard pass on. Right.

Speaker 65 And where, and where does who is the we know Donald Trump punches back twice as hard.

Speaker 171 We've seen him.

Speaker 131 He doesn't believe in forgiveness. He believes in vindictiveness.

Speaker 114 He is not going to stop fighting.

Speaker 138 So

Speaker 104 by punching him,

Speaker 67 and you're punching him, I think wrongly

Speaker 14 by not waiting for things that are real, that you can actually get everybody behind.

Speaker 91 How does that end?

Speaker 58 How does this end?

Speaker 53 And, you know, I think there's a, there's a typical way of people think of like, well, the other side is never going to change. They're never going to change.
And, you know, look,

Speaker 53 I understand the way that feels, but think about what has changed just recently. Things that were fundamental bedrock principles of conservatism are no longer part of it.

Speaker 53 Harry Reid used to stand up in front of the Senate and say, we absolutely must secure this border right now. We have to audit the Fed.
I mean,

Speaker 53 these things have all changed within the past decade or two.

Speaker 140 Tri-gay marriage.

Speaker 173 In 2008, the president said he was against it.

Speaker 64 And Hillary Clinton. Right.
In 2008.

Speaker 53 It was a fundamental bedrock principle that one man and one woman would be the marriage course.

Speaker 82 And, you know, people would say to that, well, see, yeah, they're moving left.

Speaker 124 We don't want to move left.

Speaker 143 Well, let me ask you this.

Speaker 93 Wasn't that the point of so many people?

Speaker 130 They said God can change anyone?

Speaker 122 Didn't you say that you disagreed with Donald Trump, but you're praying that God could change anyone?

Speaker 65 He can change Donald Trump, but he can't change our friends on the left?

Speaker 166 Really?

Speaker 166 Wow.

Speaker 131 That's a pretty weird God you got going for you.

Speaker 76 And I'm already seeing change.

Speaker 39 I'm already seeing real,

Speaker 48 true hope.

Speaker 77 The things that that I have prayed for since 828,

Speaker 112 I just prayed and asked forgiveness today,

Speaker 72 this morning.

Speaker 77 I prayed and asked forgiveness for not seeing his plan in things.

Speaker 77 And I said, I know there's no way I could have seen this.

Speaker 65 There's no way I could have seen this, but I'm sorry for not trusting you more.

Speaker 21 I'm sorry for telling you.

Speaker 39 Last chance, God, last chance.

Speaker 61 There's never a last chance with him.

Speaker 91 Miracles are happening.

Speaker 130 But we have to expect them and change our heart.

Speaker 53 And if you don't believe that miracles like that can happen, ask the New England Patriots.

Speaker 64 Because

Speaker 53 for them, they had quite one just the other day.

Speaker 58 It happens.

Speaker 32 Going more conservative quickly on that point.

Speaker 64 Look at Russia.

Speaker 53 I mean, there was a point where the president of the United States stood on stage and said they're basically not a threat at all.

Speaker 62 Who's more conservative on Russia now? Is it the Republicans or the Democrats?

Speaker 53 I mean, the Democrats are the ones all arguing that Russia is an actual threat. Now, whether they believe it or not is a whole nother situation.

Speaker 64 They believe that these things change all of the frames.

Speaker 82 They used to say that executive orders weren't a problem.

Speaker 56 They all believe.

Speaker 118 They're all saying we need to look into the Constitution and rebalance the power of the executive branch.

Speaker 17 What do you mean they can't change?

Speaker 167 They already have.

Speaker 17 Let's capitalize on that.

Speaker 53 Wouldn't it be a great thing to take advantage of? Yes. If we could.
Because, I mean, you've got them on that side, even if it is fake. Take advantage of it.

Speaker 170 Yes, we got to do that tomorrow.

Speaker 117 Do we have time for the Greg Abbott Convention of the States?

Speaker 32 No, we don't have time for that either.

Speaker 27 What do we have time for, Pat?

Speaker 136 Nothing.

Speaker 49 There's so much left on the table.

Speaker 172 Why?

Speaker 93 Because Pat had to start with.

Speaker 14 Oh, I really loved La La Land.

Speaker 32 Yeah, did I have to start with that?

Speaker 22 Yeah, well, you did.

Speaker 172 You did, right as we were turning the mics on. That's what he says to me.

Speaker 65 And I'm like, what have you done with my friend Pat?

Speaker 68 That could not be ignored.

Speaker 70 It could be ignored. It really could have been.

Speaker 36 It really could have been.

Speaker 26 It could not have been ignored.

Speaker 2 There was no law, federal or state, even local, that said we had to talk about law.

Speaker 117 Just saw a new executive order.

Speaker 2 Did you? Oh, there is a lot of money.
