I will make a stand.

I will raise my voice.

I will hold your hand.

Cause we have won.

I will beat my drum.

I have made my choice, we will overcome.

Cause we are

the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

You know, trends come and go.

Things fall in and out of fashion.

So today we're going to start by talking about things that are fashionable once again.

I mean, you know, sometimes bell bottoms or wide bottom jeans or flared jeans at the bottom, you know, they're not popular.

And they become popular again.

And that's also true, apparently, of politics, because there's a lot of things that have just become fashionable again

that just a couple of months ago weren't very fashionable.

For example, something that has now become fashionable again, obstructing Supreme Court nominees.

Chuck Schumer.

minority leader in the Senate has said that he and the other Democrats in the Senate are actually going to not meet with Neil Gorsuch.

They're not even going to meet with him to consider him as a Supreme Court justice.

They're not even going to take the, have the common courtesy to say, sit down in my office and let's chat a little bit.

They're not going to do that.

They are being obstructionists.

But see, it was Chuck Schumer and other people just a couple of months ago with Merrick Garland that told us, how dare those Republicans not have hearings on this?

So apparently, now obstructing Supreme Court nominees have become fashionable again.

Now, at the time, I said, yeah, they should have had hearings.

The Republicans, absolutely, 100%, as directed by the Constitution, should have had hearings on Merrick Garland.

They are directed to, shall, shall consult, and then advise the president, then confirm or not.

That's your job.

They should have done it.

I don't care if it was a year or a week out.

If the president nominates somebody, you start the process and do it.

And if you don't think that person is right, then Mitch McConnell and others, the other Republicans there, they should have had the testicular fortitude to stand up and say, we're not voting for this guy and he's not going to be a Supreme Court justice.

But they were playing the game and they didn't want to be on record as

saying no to this guy or turning him down.

It was easier for them to just kind of keep brushing it off, rolling the dice to see who's going to get elected.

And although Trump got elected and although Trump did the right thing by picking Neil Gorsuch, absolutely good pick, Hillary Clinton could be president right now.

And then what would the Republicans be doing?

They were wrong not to do it.

And Chuck Schumer is wrong not to sit down with Neil Gorsuch.

Of course he should.

But it's funny how these things have become fashionable again.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I'm happy that Hillary's not president.

And I'm happy we don't have Merrick Garland.

And I'm happy that it's Donald Trump picking Neil Gorsuch.

Absolutely.

But the way they handled it was wrong.

And if you're not standing up and saying it was wrong, then you're part part of the problem.

We've got to both simultaneously fight for our values, our individual desires, the way we live our lives, the things we think are right, our moral compass.

Absolutely.

But we also have to be fighting for the structure that allows us to have a moral compass and be heard and live our lives.

And that structure is the Constitution.

The structure is America.

And people like Chuck Schumer are not helping that.

Suddenly, the Constitution has become fashionable again.

Have you seen the nutty Hollywood types out there talking about the Constitution?

Yes, Michael Moore, Deborah Messing, and others out there protesting with their pussy hats on saying, it's the Constitution and the Electoral College.

So you now know the Constitution?

Because for the last eight years, you folks didn't know it existed at all.

It was like, For eight years, they knew about the Constitution, and then it got slid into a drawer when Obama got elected and they just kind of misplaced it.

Where is the Constitution?

What is the con, I kind of remember that.

And then they found it the day after the election.

What is this yellow crinkly piece of paper that a bunch of old white guys signed?

Wow, they really had something to this whole structure of government and limited government, which, by the way, limited government has now become fashionable with these people.

Mm-hmm.

And protesting, your First Amendment rights, has become fashionable once again with people on the left and the Democrats and people like Chuck Schumer and the Hollywood types.

They now understand protesting, yes.

Because for the last eight years, when I marched on DC with the Tea Party, when I was there for the 9-12 march, when I attended tea parties all across America, when you were out there, they called you teabaggers, a derogatory term with a sexual reference.

They looked at you in your knickers and your tri-corner hat and made fun of you and said, just sit down and shut up.

You're being obstructionist.

Just get in line behind this president.

Because if you don't, you're not only an obstructionist, you're also a racist.

How dare you?

But now,

magically, overnight,

protesting has become fashionable again, acceptable.

Not only your duty again.

So protesting has become fashionable.

Jokes about the president, fashionable once again.

Jokes about the president, jokes about hurting the president, and suggestions that maybe we

murder the president.

Yeah, those things have become fashionable again.

Well, I say about murdering the president because Sarah Silverman,

yeah, you probably don't know her because she doesn't have that successful of a career.

I guys really be honest, Sarah Silverman,

she's not really that successful.

About the most successful thing she's done is Jimmy Kimmel.

Hey oh,

Sarah Silverman, actress, picture me making the air quotes, and comedian, picture me making the air quotes,

tweeted out that in all caps, screaming, losing her mind, that the military needs a coup to take over and I guess kill Donald Trump, a military coup.

So military coups are now fashionable again.

Yeah, all of this stuff, jokes about murdering the president, all fashionable again.

Then you also have

things like personal personal freedoms become fashionable again.

Over the past eight years or so, actually, over the past 16 years or so, when I've said things like, huh, you know, the

Patriot Act, NSA spying on Americans, my ability to not be spied on by the IRS, the government staying out of my life, not telling me how to raise my children, not forcing me to make a cake for gay weddings, and just go down the list, all of the things that I say, hey, that's about personal freedom and my choice, and I should be able to do this.

They said,

you racist.

Why are you such a hater?

But now, magically, overnight, it's become fashionable once again to have those personal freedoms.

Maybe not in the exact same ways, but personal freedoms are certainly fashionable again.

To you snowflakes out there that have been losing your minds, frustrated, outraged at Donald Trump, I mean just melting down on social media, marching.

You have only yourselves to blame.

This is your doing.

You may not not like Donald Trump.

You may say he's not your president, which if you're a legal American citizen, I got news.

He's your president.

You may not like him.

But it's not the Electoral College.

It's not the antiquated Electoral College.

It's not racism.

It's not misdirection, tricked votes.

It's none of this stuff.

It's you.

You are to blame.

You are to blame for Donald Trump if you don't like him.

Because by standing against me and some of the very things that you are fighting for now when I said them over the last eight years, you caused this level of backlash.

Now, I am certainly culpable in that discontent as well.

Others are as well.

But you're responsible.

Because you didn't stand with me on common ground on things like the Constitution and personal freedoms.

Because apparently you, for the last eight years, thought like Whoopi Goldberg thinks that if you say constitutionalist, that you mean we go back to the original day one constitution where black people aren't a full human being.

They're chattel.

They should be slaves.

And that's certainly not the case.

But you objected to me saying things like,

I should be able to live my life as I see fit and not force to take part in your crazy ideas, forcing me to go to meetings and

to determine if I am somehow a racist, forcing me to take part in certain services and organizations, forcing me to take part in commerce to buy health care.

When I said this is not the responsibility of government and I should have personal freedoms, leave me alone.

And you went off on me.

This is the result.

You planted those seeds and here it is.

So at least have the common decency

to recognize that and stop melting down.

Stop trying to burn down buildings.

Stop breaking things in DC.

Stop setting cars on fire.

Stop attacking people in the the streets.

Because you've also told us for decades that you care more than I do.

That's the reason you do these things.

You care more.

I don't care.

I'm just a hater.

Were you caring more the other night in Berkeley when you pulled a guy out of the car and beat the hell out of him?

Did you care more then?

Did you care more in the streets of DC on Inauguration Day when you are on K Street throwing rocks at police officers and bricks trying to injure them?

Is that caring more?

You are responsible for this and your backlash now, your protests are laughable.

Now I support, unlike you, your right to protest as long as it's not violent, as long as you're not breaking other laws.

I support it.

Go, protest, fine.

But it's pretty ridiculous because you're not being consistent.

It's no secret I didn't support Donald Trump.

I certainly didn't support Hillary Clinton.

I didn't support Donald Trump.

I vote on track record, his track record questionable and limited.

Nothing against him.

I like some of his ideas, but I just vote on track record.

Since he's been in office, I like most of what he's done.

He's done what mainly he said he was going to do, and he has an incredible Supreme Court pick.

So I like him.

Here's the difference.

You stood against Donald Trump and everything on the right, you precious little snowflakes, because you were so upset.

I stood against him because of track record.

But standing here today,

I'm pretty happy.

I'm doing well.

Pretty good picks.

He's doing a lot of what I would hope a president would do.

But you're not getting your way.

And you could have had it.

And all you had to do was recognize the thing that I've been saying and Glenn and so many others for so long.

If you respect my rights to make decisions for me and my family, then I'll respect yours.

There's a lot of common ground, but it's laughable that you're protesting.

It's just silly.

You know what else is fashionable now?

You know what else is fashionable?

Not only wanting a limited government, but wanting to limit presidential powers.

We'll get to that coming up.

But first, got to tell you about pro flowers.

You got Valentine's Day coming up.

And wouldn't you love an easy, fail-proof way to look like a pro?

Guys, admit it, it's such a pain.

It's not that I'm not romantic, ladies.

I am.

I like to do things for my wife.

I hate the obligatory things.

Oh, it's Valentine's Day, it's this day, it's whatever.

I'd rather just, huh, wouldn't it be nice if I did that for her?

But unfortunately, women see it different, and this is expected of us.

So, a fail-proof way is Pro Flowers.

This year, Pro Flowers is making it easier than ever by taking all of the guesswork out of it.

Here's their offer.

On top of their already low prices, right now, you can get a dozen red roses with a free glass base for just $24.99 plus shipping and handling.

Hi there, I'm Doc Thompson in for Glenn today, because apparently yesterday, towards the end of his program, when he was in Los Angeles, he suddenly got sick.

But I know

I believe that he was sick, but most of the staff around here, like all the camera crew and that, they're all like, yeah, this guy's just punking out for the long weekend.

I mean, I'm not going to to call them out as individuals, but they all questioned whether or not Glenn was really sick.

And Cal, who spins the dials, radio style for us,

I know you were calling out Glenn saying, yeah, this guy's punking out.

He's just long weekend.

No, no, no, I did.

I did not.

I think you called him our fearless leader.

He's allowed to have some time.

He's a hard worker.

He's a hard worker.

Oh, absolutely.

That's what I stressed.

I just contended.

But I mean, when you called him wussy, I never said those words.

I was like, wow, that's right.

Those are great defending.

Those were your words.

My words said that, you know, he deserves time off.

He works hard.

He's stressed.

He's traveling.

Revisionist.

Revisionist.

What are you talking about?

No.

You're a historical revisionist.

That's what you are.

Hey, if you want to join the program, you could tweet at us with the hashtag what I learned today, and we'll share some of those on the air or dial 888-727-BEC, and we'll get some calls coming up on how things that

didn't used to be fashionable just a couple of weeks ago, days ago, are now fashionable again.

It's 888-727-BEC.

But first, some tweets.

Cal, who do we have checking in on the Twitter today?

Jen

Baldwin Jen.

And Baldwin Jen says, Doc Thompson Joe, what I learned today, Cal is an evil genius.

Cal is an.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Hold it right there.

Hold it.

Glenn told us just the other day we shouldn't say evil anymore unless it's truly evil.

So how about a wrong genius?

Because he said we should just call out wrong,

wrong,

not so good genius.

I think it's appropriate here.

You can call me an evil genius.

Evil genius.

I'm okay with that.

I'm okay with that.

Now that I think about it, I don't know where you use the word genius either.

I'm quite bright, too.

Wrongly.

Many, many internet IQ tests tests online tell me that I'm

online IQ tests.

Tell me I'm online.

Do any of those tell anybody that they're adult?

Seriously,

I feel like those are like the equivalent of talking to the little soothsayers and the little palm readers you go to at carnival.

I feel that they're very accurate.

Because you never know,

any of those carnival people, they're never like, wow, you are going to die in a horrible crash within days.

They're always like, I don't think they'll get repeat cuttings.

Something good's coming up, right?

Not really sure what it is, but something golden in your future.

Also, Trailer Park Aaron.

Doc Thompson Show, what I learned today, insulting Donald Trump is racist towards orange people like Oompa Lumpas.

That's a good point.

Apparently, racism is now fashionable once again, too.

I don't know what race he is, but I know orange isn't a

normal, it's a lesser known, it's definitely a different thing.

Orange lives matter.

Orange lives matter.

And orange lives do matter.

I'm not criticizing him.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be president because of his orangeness or anything like that.

I mean, I only know of two people off the top of my head that are of of that race, but they both had prominent positions in our government showing us that we are no longer racist, and that is Donald Trump and also John Boehner, right?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, he's the guy who is Speaker of the House and president.

All of this, I don't know what the race is.

I feel uncomfortable saying orange.

They're different shades of orange.

I mean, some sort of,

I don't know.

You kind of like one's a little more

Tropicana, and the other one's probably more, you know, Cheeto.

Well, here's what I do know.

And I'm going to write this down and tweet this out, what I've learned today, when it comes to the presidency, orange is the new black.

So with the

orange and the black.

What other tweets do you have?

Brian Noel, our very own Brian Noel, Doc Thompson calling out hypocrisy with precision this morning in for Glenn Beck on the Blaze radio.

Thank you.

Thank you for noticing that.

I'm glad somebody's recognizing this.

I know Glenn's not because he's.

I like that.

You like that.

And finally, Mark T says, Doc Thompson, what I learned today, a military coup, martial law is fashionable again.

Have we gone completely insane?

We have.

we have.

This is why, I mean, folks, we took so much heat.

Glenn has taken so much heat.

There was a lot of fake news about this stuff.

But by trying to be consistent, we have been abused, just beat up with some of this stuff by simply trying to call us.

We don't get everything right.

Of course, we get some things wrong.

I didn't think Trump would get elected.

I'm happy he did, but I didn't think he would get elected.

But we make mistakes, but we still have that same goal of trying to be consistent about this stuff.

And yeah, these people now, the whole point of the monologue about things becoming fashionable again is that these people have forgotten yesterday, just days ago, they said the exact opposite because once again, they are focusing on their personal desires.

And by the way, how many of these people out at the protests, you know, the women's march, any of these things have been Berkeley the other night?

How many of them are saying, I am out here

because I want to make sure people have more food and have a better life?

Okay, they say that, but how many are really out there for that?

Of course not.

You look at the people.

You've got fat, unattractive women saying, women need to be treated better.

Well, where do you think the motivations from that come?

Where do you think that's coming from?

Maybe from the fat, unattractive woman?

Seriously, they feel like a second-class citizen based on those things.

Maybe they are at times.

Maybe people look at them.

Maybe they're being judged by that.

You got the people out there saying, I'm being kept down.

Well, yeah, why are you?

Because you don't have enough.

That's why you're saying it.

It's personal.

They say, the banks have too much, the bankers.

Are they saying that they want that redistributed so everybody has the exact amount?

No, if you went to them and said, Tell you what, I'll give you 500 grand of this banker's money if you shut the hell up.

You cool?

They're not going to take that?

Of course they are.

They're not going to stay in the streets like Mother Teresa or something saying, we got to help everybody.

It's all selfish.

And that that goes right into hypocrisy and lies.

We're going to be mocking some people in a grand way.

I can't share it now.

I asked management yesterday and they're like, what are you doing talking about this stuff?

And I'm like, I got to give them a little bit.

And I said, okay, fine.

So just

Use the hashtag what I learned today.

We'll share some coming up.

One of the crew that I have on my show in the morning, part of the crew, we got Cal of Spinzadiles Radio Style, and we got RC underscore Chris chris on twitter it's chris cruise he is uh kind of our social media guy too you were really following all the stuff that happened at uc berkeley with milo too and the whole thing explain what happened two nights ago so what happened basically is that milo yapalaponis i don't know how to say his last name um but he's cool though but we we're on the friendship term now um that yapalapalaponis do you know why i only say milo yeah because i don't know how this spells to say his last name so i call i was getting in contact with people like can i get like the phonetic kind of like say the phonetic yeah and they're like well how do you say i'm like yapalapalaponis and they're like just keep saying it i'm like all righty so good so good so uh milo supposed to speak at uc berkeley and he's doing a tour and he just goes into colleges and kind of gets a little triggery

thrower i mean he pokes people in the eye and then when he's done poking them in the eye he takes his thumb and gouges it in the other eye oh yeah and when he's done with that then he kicks him in the nads that's that's what milo does that's his charm that's his i'm not criticizing that's just who he is, right?

And if he's successful, I say continue doing it.

Okay, and now let me do a quick pause here.

This is an area that I slightly disagree with Glenn.

Most of the time, Glenn and I are usually in the same level.

There's been some things over the years I've called him out on.

Tarp, first two days, Glenn supported Tarp and then backed off.

And I was like, Glenn, you're wrong for these couple days.

And he admitted it.

Milo is one of those.

Glenn is right in questioning some of Milo's tactics that you're not necessarily helping the situation.

In many ways, you're not.

You're causing trouble.

He is part of the alt, right?

And I think some things he says is really missing the point.

However, I think mockery and satire is also good because it calls out the nutcases and exposes them.

And quite frankly, it all gives us a laugh when all we want to do is go and burn the place down.

In fact, some of what Milo does keeps me from being the protesters on the street that burn stuff down.

Yeah, Doc on the Clock Tower.

Exactly.

Naked in the Clock Tower.

That's where I'd be if not for some satire.

So I understand what Glenn is saying, and he's right.

But it's not quite as bad in my world to have some people like that.

So having said that, he was supposed to speak.

He triggers people.

Yeah, he was supposed to speak.

Well, the anti-fash, which is something new I learned, which is anti-fascist protesters.

Anti-fash?

Fast.

Fast.

Shouldn't it be fashion?

Anti-fash?

I have to say.

You guys have a fail right there.

And by the way, fascist was way too long.

We can't have that.

Yeah, that's way too long, Dad.

Come on, just keep it between three and four.

Yeah.

So basically, he goes in.

The protesters are just waiting, just like a normal protest.

But around about the time that he was supposed to go in and start talking, the protesters turned into what I call rioters.

They started launching those Roman candles towards the windows.

Yeah, I saw a bunch of fireworks and like even looked, it even looked like road flares or something.

Yes, road flares.

They were knocking down the light fixtures to the floor.

Yeah, they took the whole light poles down.

I saw that, which, by the way, you're only hurting yourselves.

That's That's public money.

You douches.

Seriously, it's public money.

I mean, I even get it.

I mean, I don't agree with it, but if you're like, I hate the corporations, let's go burn down one of their, but fine, but that's yours.

Apparently, they don't have taxes.

Wait, that's fine enough.

Wait a minute.

That isn't theirs because they don't pay taxes.

Okay, anyways, please continue.

Well, that wasn't stopped there.

They lit it on fire.

Oh, good, good, good.

So,

and then at the middle, the police had a retract, retreat, sorry, into the building, go to the the second floor and start giving warnings that's when the police say you got 10 minutes to disperse or we'll use force to or arrest you and that's when they started using I haven't confirmed this from the people that went to ground but they say they were like rubber rubber bullets tear gas and some other things that they could not tell me what it was okay okay so you're there You're meaning the protesters that turned rioters thugs they're there exercising their First Amendment rights before they started being violent.

Yes.

Out there in the streets, you know, peaceful assembly, that type of thing.

So at that point, they was there exercising their First Amendment rights to try to stop somebody else's First Amendment rights.

Yes, yes.

Okay, good, good.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

So see, that whole First Amendment thing

covers multiple things, you people.

See, your First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and protest

also includes the First Amendment rights to speak and press and religion and redress of grievances, all of these things, right?

Milo was speaking.

He was an invited speaker.

He didn't crash the place, right?

It wasn't like setting crashes.

No, he didn't.

One thing, too, I don't know if you know this, but Milo is a gay conservative.

Well, he calls his

gay conservative.

Milo's gay.

Milo Japalapanis

is gay.

Wow.

Okay.

Now that matters.

It's just shocking.

He doesn't come across gay at all.

Are you sure?

How would you?

He may come across really gay.

Did you see that video I showed you when he was building the wall?

He's pretty effeminate, yeah.

Okay, all right.

So it turns out that he was escorted out

and he actually sent out a video, five-minute video, and gave exclusive to Chris Tucker.

But he was kind of upset, and he was right.

You know, the left, once you start giving that freedom of speech or trying to challenge them, they challenge back.

But in a weird way, they kind of attack you and destroy their own stuff.

Well, and this is another way it's changed.

It used to be people protest and upset and whatever, but now it's we want to stop you with our, that's what our protest is about.

We want to completely make you not exist, not here.

And there's a bunch of people on the right that believe those things too.

I know as part of this protest, they pulled at least one dude out of a car and beat the snot out of it.

Well, before we get to that, they destroyed a Starbucks once again.

Okay, wait a minute, wait a minute.

These people are so not informed.

When I was out in D.C.

covering the riots out there on Inauguration Day, which I posted all the videos on Facebook, Facebook Live,

was huge.

They lit the car on fire and I was right there.

They bashed in the windows of a Starbucks and I'm like, guys, do you know who runs Starbucks?

Howard Schultz, who we're going to talk about later in this program as well.

So Starbucks folks, you might want to be on notice.

Yeah, we're going to talk about it coming up.

But Howard Schultz believes, at least in part, like these people who were protesting.

Maybe not in the violence or whatever, but he's a leftist.

He's a progressive and he supported all kinds of progressive stuff.

If you look around protesters, he might be on Berkeley campus with you he could have been there he could have been there protesting or his employees could have been there i guarantee at least some of his employees were at some of these protests so they did that and it also destroyed a bank of america okay it seems yeah okay and then let's fast forward to the middle of the night uh kind of the end of the protest slash riot they pulled this person out of the car and just beat the snot out of them.

Yeah,

how is this you caring and being more caring than me?

Because that's what they keep saying, you know, we care more.

We're doing this for all the people.

Is this just like collateral damage to them?

Is that how they view this?

Like, why would you single out that one person?

Right.

But I mean, if they're saying that this, well, doc, you know, in order to make our point and save the world, so people are, you know,

the end doesn't justify the means.

But even if they want to make that point, did they believe the end justified the means in Iraq, in Afghanistan?

Because what did they keep saying to us?

You lost all these American lives, all this American money, and how many Iraqi lives?

The end end doesn't justify the means.

So you're being hypocrites there as well.

So coming up, I want to talk a little bit more about how it's fashionable not only to protest, but also how it's fashionable to want the presidential powers limited.

Because throughout Obama's presidency, I said things like, hey, you got too much power in the White House there.

It's supposed to be a balance.

And they're like, you're just a racist doc.

And now they're like, hey, the president shouldn't have this much power just two weeks after he was inaugurated.

We'll talk about that coming up.

We'll get sell some of your calls, triple eight nine actually 888727BC.

That's coming up in just a minute.

But first I want to ask you if you've heard about the report about gun sales.

They are shooting through the roof with some gun companies reporting earnings that are 66% over last year.

If you're like me and you own guns, yes, I do.

Do what I do and protect them with a Liberty Safe.

And by do what I do, I mean do what Glenn does, because I haven't gotten a Liberty safe yet.

This is Glenn's copy.

This is his script here.

Glenn definitely has a Liberty Safe.

It's not that I don't want a Liberty safe.

I just haven't gotten one yet.

It's the smart thing to do.

Glenn and his wife own five huge Liberty safes.

They put things in them, most valuable stuff, not just guns.

I know Glenn has talked about putting his pictures and stuff like that.

My wife just started finally downloading pictures because she made a great point about it.

These things are all electronic.

What if something happens?

We're not going to have them.

And so she downloads them on individual hard drives, not just on the cloud or something.

What's the other service that you have with that?

On the cloud?

Not just the cloud, but there's other services you can store them at that I think she has.

But what if something happens there?

So she does the hard drive and then she's been printing them out.

And that's a great thing.

Glenn has stored his stuff like that, family memories in there.

Do your homework like Glenn did.

You'll find that Liberty Safes make great safes.

And right now, they're making $500 a day right here in America.

Every Liberty Safe comes with a lifetime warranty and their customer service is

number one.

Now you can save up to $250 off when you buy a Liberty Safe.

Go to LibertySafe.com.

The promo code is Beck.

I don't know why it's a different one from the last people.

Why wouldn't you use the same promo code?

It's just confusing.

But Liberty Safe, it's Beck B-E-C-K.

The discounts are automatic, and matching mail-in rebates is also offered.

So, for the best safes built on the planet, go to libertysafes.com.

Type in Beck.

That's libertysafes.com and Beck.

Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn today, talking about things that have become fashionable again.

And one of the things that has now become fashionable, just starting two weeks ago today, is wanting to limit presidential power.

Folks, during the

prior administration, Obama administration, I wanted to limit presidential power.

Keep it in check.

And the administration before that, I wanted to limit it.

And the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before.

Even when I didn't exist in utero, when I was just a gleam, I still wanted to limit presidential powers and I always will.

Without a balance of powers between the branches of government, we don't exist anymore.

And unfortunately, the balance of power between the federal government, the states, and the people has been out of whack for decades.

But that's the genius of our structure.

It's become fashionable now, all of a sudden, for so many people who are like, Barack Obama can do whatever he wants because he's so smart.

We'll just give him all the power in the world to now object to Trump.

And you're not being genuine here.

You're simply going with what you want to have accomplished.

You're not looking at the structure.

For example, you have the protests at UC Berkeley two nights ago, and Donald Trump tweets out.

And I think smartly, he's throwing a bomb here, but I think smartly, he tweets: if UC Berkeley doesn't allow

free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view, no federal funds?

Question mark?

You know, maybe we don't give you the federal funds.

Well, UC Berkeley gets literally billions of dollars for student aid, medical needs, and research.

Billions of dollars.

So to hit him in the pocketbook is going to be effective.

And he doesn't even actually have to go through it that he's just putting them on notice.

I'm not saying he wouldn't do it, but he's putting them on notice.

I'm fine with that.

That's within the power structure of the government.

He's not saying he's unilaterally going to do do this, but he could suggest legislation.

He could come down on him.

There may be some things that he could limit the funds.

Good.

He's right.

You're telling us you have, we don't want you involved in campus and campus should be free speech and we don't want outside cops, all of that stuff we've heard.

Well, then take care of it yourself because my tax dollars living in Arkansas, working sometimes in Texas, are still going to pay for crap on campuses and places like UC Berkeley.

So get your crap together.

So maybe we suggest that.

Now, by suggesting that, people went nuts.

How dare Donald Trump say that?

We need to limit presidential power.

Really?

Now you're concerned about limiting presidential power.

Well, doc, doc, doc.

Yes, sir.

R.C.

Chris.

Doc.

Do you want people taking money that is not yours?

No, not at all.

Okay, then why what?

What's up?

Why are you making?

No, I'm saying I don't want to take him at all, so maybe he uses this power, you know.

Yeah, but you got to understand their perspective.

You know, somebody's taking their money.

How are they going to go to school now?

They're not taking their money to offer them.

They have to go to school.

The protesters, they're not.

They have a soft life at the campus.

Oh, he's not getting it, Doc.

So, Gavin Newsom, who is crazy, the former mayor of San Francisco, current lieutenant governor, running for governor, tweeted out in response to Trump's tweet:

As a UC regent, I'm appalled at your willingness to deprive over 38,000 students access to an education because of the actions of a few.

Do you realize how much hypocrisy he stuffed into 140 characters or less?

Do you realize how much crap he stuffed in there?

As a UC Regent,

what the hell does that matter?

I mean,

you can't be appalled if you're a homemaker in Georgia or you sell sausages on the street in San Francisco.

Maybe a bad city to choose for that reference, but regardless, right?

You have to be as a UC regent, as somebody who let me go down my resume, Lieutenant Governor, and running for governor, I

so that's the first failure.

I thought he was going to say UC Berkeley

student, alumni, regent, he's a regent,

as somebody who has a cushy job, let me share with you, I'm appalled at your willingness to deprive 38,000 students access.

He's not depriving them.

They can still pay their own damn way.

They can still get money elsewhere.

They can get more money from the state.

You're not depriving them of access.

You're depriving them of tax dollars.

Get your crap together.

And then finally, access to an education.

Are they really being educated on the campus there?

I would call that BS and fake news by itself.

And then the coupe de Gracie, because of the actions of a few.

Because of the actions of a few.

Huh.

He is somebody who has basically labeled in the past anybody on the right as crazy, racist, whatever.

And what is that based on?

The actions of a few.

The actions of a few?

Are you kidding me?

Wow, this shows the level of hypocrisy and crazy, but it doesn't stop there.

Oh, there's still much more to come when it comes to the hypocrisy and what is now fashionable, specifically around the riots the other night in the campus of UC Berkeley.

Also, coming up, we're going to be discussing the hashtag hire10,000 veterans.

That's the numbers not spelled out.

Hire 10,000 veterans.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hi there, I'm Doc Thompson, regularly heard on the Blaze Radio Network.

And if you want to find out more about me, go to theblaze.com/slash doc or just click on the Blaze.

You'll see channels and follow my channel there if you would, because we have some really interesting things coming up in the next few weeks as I launch some new projects.

They'll all be available there, theblaze.com.

Click on channels and doc and just follow the channel if you would.

On Twitter, it's hashtag what I learned today, and it's at Doc Thompson Show.

We'll get some of those coming up.

But I want to touch a little bit more on what we said about Donald Trump tweeting out that maybe UC Berkeley are suggesting or questioning if they should be defunded, if they shouldn't get those federal tax dollars anymore.

I think that is a reasonable question, a reasonable tweet, and I like that he's poking them.

It is long past due that academia in America be challenged on their nuttiness.

For these people who years ago used to tell us, okay, listen, you've learned all this conservative stuff.

It's 1950s.

Get on into the 60s.

It's time you get exposed to some alternative ideas.

You know, your ideas, if they're solid enough, ought to be able to take it.

We just want all things here to enlighten and educate you.

That's what they told us during the 60s.

And now

it's not about let's hear all voices insides.

It's like if you have anything other than an extremist progressive agenda, then you are shut down, sometimes beat down, as we saw the other night in Berkeley.

So this is certainly reasonable to say maybe you shouldn't get federal dollars.

It's my tax dollars too.

Maybe they shouldn't go to this nuttiness.

I think that's reasonable.

For Gavin Newsom to come out and say that Donald Trump just wants to, what, take away people's access to college and whatnot

because of the actions of a few people, it shows

his hypocrisy.

Gavin Newsom tweeted, was this just 11 hours ago?

11 hours ago, yes.

What was his tweet just 11 hours ago?

He tweets out, the spineless of the GOP continues as they pander to the NRA and move to

weaken our background check system.

So he's questioning gun use in America, and he's been a rabid anti-gun person forever.

Okay.

Why does he support additional gun laws, banning guns,

common sense solutions?

What are the solutions to?

What is of all the rhetoric about guns, what is the basis for it?

From him and everybody on the list, why do they say we need gun legislation?

What is their argument?

It comes down to what?

Shootings.

The mass shootings individual.

They say that because of the mass shootings, we must have additional gun legislation.

How many people in America have shot a gun at somebody, hit somebody with a gun, killed them with a gun?

How many gun owners, like legal gun owners, have done that?

It's infinitesimal,

the number of people that have killed somebody, shot somebody, the legal gun owners that have done this.

So you're talking about the actions of a very few.

So when it comes to the protesters out there, Gavin Newsom wants to give them a pass to burn the place down.

It's just the actions of a few.

But when a couple of nutcases shoot people, all legal gun owners then have to have their gun rights in question.

Isn't that also the actions of a few?

Yeah, and he actually says that the NRA is at fault for the Baton Rouge police shootings.

Wait, the NRA is at fault?

Yes.

Is everybody in America a member of the NRA?

I don't think so.

So the NRA, even if that was accurate, which it's not, would still be the actions of a, what's the word I'm looking for?

Fuel.

Few.

Does anybody else call these people on this stuff?

Wow.

Okay.

But it doesn't stop there.

Nancy Pelosi went off on Donald Trump.

She said Berkeley is the center of the free speech movement.

Okay.

Berkeley's the front center of the free speech.

I'm thinking of some cities like

Lexington, Concord,

places like Richmond, Virginia, St.

John's Church with Patrick Henry, all of these, wouldn't that be the center of the free speech?

Or if you want to take it to ancient freedoms and democracies, you can go to Greece or places like this.

Cicero, the great philosopher, Berkeley is the center.

Now, does she mean the modern free speech movement?

Wouldn't that be any other place?

She's clearly living in the 60s with this crap.

And by 60s, for Nancy, I mean 1860s.

And by 1860s, I mean

BC.

She said, Berkeley is the center of the free speech movement.

I think that the protesters have a right to free speech as well.

Anybody object to that?

Do protesters have a right to free speech?

Yeah.

Yes, exactly.

She might be missing the big story here.

Yeah, they turned to something else.

Yeah.

She said, if there's an infiltration of the crowd by those that are less than peaceful,

that should be addressed.

Do you disagree with that?

Nope.

Wasn't Donald Trump addressing that?

Yes.

So what's with the tweet, Nancy?

Barbara Lee, she is the Democratic Democrat representative from Oakland, California area, that district.

She said, Berkeley has a proud history of dissent and students were fully within their rights to protest peacefully.

You're right.

Keyword there.

Peacefully.

She then said, however,

however, I am disappointed by the unacceptable acts of violence last night, which were counterproductive and dangerous.

True.

Yeah.

What are you going to do about it, Babs?

Yeah, I mean, same thing, Nancy.

Okay, there were a few.

Gavin Newsome.

Can you at least address the few?

None of them want to address the few.

Are you going to round these people up and prosecute them?

In other words, they're more concerned about protecting the rights of the others than punishing those people.

And guess what?

I'm willing to, Trump, me, everybody else.

Nobody's questioning the rights of those people.

Wow.

Babs Lee went on to say, President Donald Trump cannot bully our university into silence.

Actually, he can.

He just did.

And he's going to do more of it, and I'm going to support it.

They call it the bully pulpit, and you were fine when Obama did it.

She said, simply put, President President Trump's empty threat.

This is going to be funny.

This is going to be funny.

Because if this crap keeps up, you're going to see I don't think he's, I don't think it's an empty threat.

And I may not support something that he would do that's, well, I wouldn't support something that's unconstitutional, but he may do something that is questionable beyond his powers, and I'll speak against it.

But I will take joy in the fact that she'll be proven wrong.

President Trump's empty threat to cut funding from UC Berkeley is an abuse of power.

As long as he doesn't violate the Constitution, it is not.

She said President Trump doesn't have a license to blackmail universities.

Wait a minute.

I'm not prepared to bust out the B word there.

Yeah, I'm missing universities.

Let's say extort universities.

Yeah, extort is better.

I would think that a Democrat member of Congress and a black

Democrat member of Congress should know better than to use a word like blackmail.

We prefer extort.

Extort university.

She said he's the president, not a dictator, and his empty threats aren't abuse of power.

Boy, I wish she would have applied those same standards the last eight years.

Another rep, Mark DeSevier,

whatever the hell his name is.

While we do not condone violence,

what's going to follow that?

What gem is going to follow that?

Is there any, while we don't condone violence, but I support the idea of protesters threatening to strip the world's leading public institution and research facility of feds is of funds is foolish.

Okay,

while we do not condone violence, the only thing really acceptable to follow that is, and this is, you really shouldn't tie them together, but in this case, it's a stretch.

We don't condone violence, but we don't want to limit free speech.

We don't want to infringe somebody's freedoms.

You know, okay, maybe it's rare that anything would follow it.

But he doesn't say that.

Threatening to strip the world's leading public institution and research facilities funds is foolish.

Leading world.

Yeah, leading, of course.

It's the best, of course, because he's from California.

Adam Schiff, who's a Republican member of, or a Democrat member of Congress, said, hey,

tweeted,

hey, at GOP leader, that's Kevin McCarthy, who's in leadership for the Republicans.

Real question.

Are you going to let real Donald Trump take away UC funding in a temper tantrum, asking for all Californians?

Temper tantrum?

And you might be missing the big story here.

You're more concerned what Trump said in this thing.

Okay.

That seems like they're missing the point just a little bit.

Well, if they talk about temper tantrum, didn't the riot, the protesters had a bigger temper tantrum?

Yeah, there seemed to be some.

Just a little bit bigger than Trump's temperature tantrum.

No, here's the thing.

They weren't, it wasn't a temper tantrum for them.

Oh, okay.

For them, they were exercising their free speech rights to protect all people.

Okay.

With destruction.

Trump is just a temper tantrum.

With destruction.

Absolutely.

Got it.

So So here's what we're going to do.

We're going to get a break in.

We're going to come back to some of your calls.

It's 888-727-BEC.

And some of your tweets, it's hashtag what I learned today at Doc Thompson Show.

If you want to tweet at Chris, who's joining me today, he's regularly part of my morning broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network.

It's at RC underscore Chris.

And he has a weak, weak, like 5,000 following on Twitter.

Yeah.

At RC underscore Chris.

Maybe

help a brother out.

Thanks.

I'm just saying.

I'm trying to help a brother out.

But the Blaze heard you and they just put it up.

Okay, good.

Appreciate that.

I want to tell you quick about Goldline.

Glenn has talked about Goldline for years.

I know he's been a sponsor of this program.

And I've heard it and really just never made the decision to call.

I'm like, I know I got to do some different things.

I've got to get some gold, diversify all of this stuff.

And I've just never done it.

Literally, right before the first of the year, between the holidays, I went online and I ordered the free information.

It came.

I started going through it.

I got a follow-up call just a couple of days ago about it.

And I'm going to make some decisions.

But it's just one of those things you put off, you hear over and over again.

The reason I finally decided was because I know I have to do some things differently in the coming years.

If you look at a bunch of different researchers out there, some names that we've had on the show, Glenn has had other people, a lot of them say that there's a lot of volatility possibly coming.

The stock market's over 20%.

These are just different indicators.

There's never 100% when it comes to investing.

We know that.

But some indicators say that there could be some troubles down the road.

You never know for sure.

Traditionally, when the stock market goes up, it's going to come down at some point.

You know, as a new president comes in and tries to do things, sometimes, you know, it takes a dip for a while.

So you have to be aware.

And getting the information from Goldline is just going to prepare you.

So I made that commitment between the holidays to do some different things.

And that's the reason I ended up calling Goldline.

Glenn speaks very favorably of them, even off the air.

When I talk to Glenn about it, he's like, yeah, absolutely.

That's somebody you need to call because they'll walk you through the steps there.

So Goldline is proud to be the exclusive dealer of the first encapsulated square coin, the Legal Tender Unit.

And I like them because they don't roll off the table.

That's my big push here.

I'm looking for coins that don't roll.

The legal tender unit contains one-tenth ounce of gold bullion.

Goldline collaborated with the Perth Mint on the design of the Legal Tender Unit.

Now, the Legal Tender Unit offers the same benefits as Legal Tender Coin, but the square shape.

Each unit is individually sealed for protection and optimum flexibility in purchasing, bartering, or gifting down the road.

Orders of 10 legal tender units will be delivered in a limited-edition barter tube, a rugged snap-front container that secures up to 10 legal tender units for easy access and distribution.

If you want more information on this or any of the other services GoldLine provides, what you want to do is dial 866GoldLine.

It's that simple.

I did it between the holidays.

They took my information and sent it out.

It's no pressure, but they give you all the information.

That number again, I'll give it to you two times.

It's 866Goldline.

That's 866 GoldLine.

The Glenn Beck program.

All right, I've been putting them off phone calls now.

Let's go 888727 Beck line 44.

It's George in Pennsylvania.

How are you?

Hey, good morning.

Good morning, Doc.

How are you, sir?

Absolutely lovely.

Hey, last night on the panel segment of Special Report on Fox News, there was one of the panelists that said there was a report coming out of Berkeley that the administration had set up a free speech and protest zone.

The police were there to manage the situation, and they did a great job of it.

It did not get violent until

about 150 people dressed in black showed up and started trashing the place.

This may well be a case of a rent-a-bop coming in and causing problems.

And I have not heard this anywhere else, so you may want to see if you can verify it.

You know what, George?

And I'm

glad you brought this up, and thank you so much for the call.

Here, here's the reason I believe that, George, is because I was in D.C.

when those protests happened on Inauguration Day, and it was virtually the same scenario.

Most of the people that were out there looked like the average people that either agreed or disagreed with President Trump or other issues.

A lot of them were progressive or liberal.

Standing out there, they were just the masses and, in many cases, the useful idiots.

They might have been pushing it a little bit here and there, but it was the people in black.

They had the masks, the hoodies, whatever.

You could tell they knew what they were doing and they had some training.

The way they were pulling up bricks and breaking them in half so they could throw rocks at the cops.

They knew just what buttons to push to get away with stuff and to create more of a crowd and to try to gin the crowd up.

I suspected those people were shipped in because later that night, I mean, they set cars on fire on K-Street and you could see the videos.

So I went out later that night after I did some stuff with Conservative Review, and I go to some of the balls, and I see protesters.

The people in black aren't there.

The protesters are just more with signs, kind of giving people elbows as they walk by, but it wasn't like battling cops.

So these are likely, if they are shipped in, they're going to have ties to one of those leftist groups that you know about.

Some of them may be directly or indirectly

connected with the George Soroses.

We don't know.

Maybe, you know, we've heard that.

It wouldn't shock me.

But if that's the case, I cannot still excuse them, nor can I excuse the actions of the people that supported those nuts out there, because where were the peaceful protesters standing in their way?

And finally, where is Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom and Representative Barbara Lee saying we need to investigate those organizations that may be shipping them in there?

If they're causing trouble, if they're a public hazard like this, then absolutely they should be investigating them.

But they don't because they like it.

They secretly like that dissension.

They want the George Soros' funding all of these organizations because it helps them push their message and keeps them in power.

And that's the truth.

More calls now.

Holly in Oklahoma, how are you?

Hello.

Thank you for taking my phone call.

Thank you for calling.

I'm going to tell you, as I sit here in Oklahoma and I watch all this stuff on YouTube and mainstream media, the whole nine yards, what absolutely infuriates me the most is these idiots that are driving up my insurance rates in Oklahoma.

Every time they riot in protest,

no individual goes in and pays for that damage.

It's filed on an insurance claim.

And I'm stuck paying the bills because these idiots don't want to get a job and have something better to do.

That's a great, that's a marvelous point, Holly.

So again, not just the funds that go into the college and our tax dollars and then police forces and funding that is shared by all of us for all different agencies to get money.

It's also insurance rates.

We're paying for this.

yes.

Holly, what part of Oklahoma are you in?

I am in the northeastern part of Oklahoma.

The part I'm in is called Green Country.

I'm a shepherd of Tulsa.

Understand, I live in northwest Arkansas, so I'm Bentonville-Fayetteville area, so we're neighbors there.

Thanks so much, Holly.

Appreciate you calling today.

All right, we get some tweets as well with the hashtag what I learned today.

Hashtag fat women.

Okay, hang on a second.

Hang on.

Yes, yes, I I do.

How dare you.

Yes, I do.

And by the way, so do you.

And so does everybody.

Of course you judge people on their, I'm not saying that you're saying they're bad people, but yet you're constantly judging people.

You don't walk through this door and you're like, wow, that guy is huge.

And by the way, I'm being judged and I judge myself on it.

I do no such thing.

It doesn't mean they're bad people.

I'm not saying they can't be president or I wouldn't hire them or something because of it, but we all do.

Yeah, sure.

and my wife is attractive, so she doesn't have to worry about such things, but let me ask you this.

How many by percentage, what percent of the women at the women's march, what was that, a week ago tomorrow?

Is that only a week ago, two weeks ago tomorrow, two weeks ago tomorrow, would you look at and go, all right,

yes, yes.

I mean, you,

I think, I thought I heard you saying something like,

want me a piece of that.

I believe that was the term you used.

I know it was in single digits.

I'm not sure it was actually one.

There were a handful.

You know, you got a couple.

I mean, there's the vegans out there, they're real thin.

I also heard you like the hats.

The pink hats, you were fond of the.

The pink hats, they were, yeah.

I mean, the vegans are real thin, so that kind of sways it in their favor.

But But outside of the vegans, there's a very small percentage that you're wanting to,

you know, you're looking at like, all right, I, you know, as a single man, maybe.

If I was drunk enough, yeah, there's not enough liquor for like 85% of them.

You slip me a roofie, there's not enough liquor.

Hi there, it's Doc Thompson in for Glenn Beck today.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Cal is with me from my morning broadcast at the Blaze Radio Network, and Chris Cruz joins us as well.

We've been talking about some of the protests.

And yeah, you had the women's march just two weeks ago, tomorrow.

And there are all kinds of protests that are going to be happening over the next couple of months.

And I tell you this because if you're a capitalist, you got to get out there and make some cash off of this.

I'm planning a couple things now.

This is in some ways equivalent to the Tea Party movement.

They haven't given them a unifying name, but everybody and their mom is going to be protesting in the next few months.

And there's a couple of really big ones scheduled for April, May, June.

I mean, as it warms up, they're going to have more because, you know, these people are snowflakes, right?

And they don't, I'm too sensitive to march in the cold, that type of thing.

But I am not kidding you.

Coming up on Earth Day, April 22nd in Washington, D.C.,

I'm not kidding, there is going to be a scientists' march.

Yes, a march of scientists.

Cal, do we have something on the march of scientists?

I apologize.

It's not playing on my side.

I'm having a technical issue.

Okay.

Well, maybe we move on and get some more tweets.

All right, at Doc Thompson Show and at RC underscore Chris and at KAL79, Cal79.

We had IMK Smooth asking, did George Soros fund the riots in Berkeley?

It's always a question, and it's always a pretty good bet in my book.

Here's somebody asking, why does Glenn say Milo is alt-right?

Never heard him say anything racist.

Here's the thing about the alt-right.

When we discussed it earlier,

there's not one defining

description.

There's not one definition of them.

I talked to them, actually, in our morning show, I think it was like, what, three, four months ago?

Unmute, on mute.

Yeah, we did walk to talk to him a few months ago, some people who tried to explain it to us, and even they couldn't.

Yeah, we talked to them, and he was really interesting, especially the whole white supremacy and all that stuff.

But we tried to talk to him again, and they kind of were like, oh, no, we don't want to talk.

We disbanded, actually.

Remember, we had that conversation.

The whole organization disbanded.

There's not, I mean, there's some...

Some things you can kind of point to, and even that's kind of loose.

It's a label.

It's more of the general idea.

If you look into the people that are, I would say, more aggressive,

willing to overlook certain flaws or failures, there is a racial component.

It doesn't necessarily mean that everybody who identifies is alt-right with some of the other stuff is a racist.

I would say probably the nationalist and populist movements, either in the traditional sense, if you look historically, or maybe their modern take on it, something like that, sure.

So a couple of weeks ago,

We saw a story that a college, and I can't remember what college it is, has a

has a program where they want to teach people on college campus what consent is and is not

when having sex.

I think it's pretty simple.

Consent is yeah,

or some action or movement,

you know, saying, yeah, let's do this, right?

And not consent is no.

Little gray line with the whole seduction thing.

And sometimes people say no, but they're just kind of being playful and want to respect themselves that they at least said no no once, you know, whatever, girls, I don't get you.

But I mean, it becomes pretty clear to most of us.

So they said we need to teach a course on this

as part of a series of courses on consent.

Wow, you're really doing this wrong.

This is what colleges are today.

And in order to teach this, they were going to use ordering a pizza.

A felt pizza.

Yeah, that you would make a little felt pizza and you'd act as a person ordering pizza like,

do you want sausage?

Do you want pepperoni?

I'll take some pineapple in my place.

No, dude, pineapple is just freaky, okay?

I don't know what kind of weird, freaky stuff you're into.

Pineapple.

No, no, definitely.

No,

no means no.

So they would use the two.

So we had this hashtag and had fun with it a couple days ago.

It's still probably up.

Hashtag how sex is like pizza.

Is that it?

How sex is like pizza?

Sex is like pizza, yes.

And we had fun with it and people made their jokes and there were some very inappropriate things.

And then all of a sudden later at night, after our show is well over, it starts trending.

And we start looking at them.

The Pizzagate people had co-opted it.

You know, the Pizzagate that were real deep in the Hillary Clinton pedophile ring out of cosmic pizza, cosmic bowling, whatever that was in DC, which, okay, there was some hinky things about that, but they took it to crazy conspiracy town.

And these people were tweeting the most offensive pictures about like

abusing women and rape and human trafficking and stuff like this.

And I guess it was the equivalent of if you are an anti-abortion person and you put up the big aborted fetus that's graphic to try to disgust people.

But it was crazy.

It's almost like some of them are like into it.

Was that how you feel when you saw them?

Yeah, because when I texted you, I was like, hey, why are we threatening again?

Why are we like 14, 16 hours?

And when I was sort of looking at this, I said, whoa, this is not something that usually happens to us.

The Pizzagate people are crazy.

And I think some of those people are more inclined to be the alt-righty people.

Okay, back to the march that's coming up on April 22nd, which I probably will be there.

It's the Scientists March.

After witnessing the sheer size of the Women's March on Washington, now set your phasers for fun.

Nerd of Palooza 2017.

The scientific march on Washington is coming.

Rerouting the power of the masses through the Forward Phase Conduit and right down Wisconsin Avenue.

Here's March Organizer Dr.

Earl Pimento.

Seeing people wearing female genitalia and actually seeing

that for the first time got us thinking, maybe we could finally score if we had a march as well.

Yes, to boldly go where only a handful of us have gone before.

10 to the second, maybe even more if X equals a covalent of 12, of respected scientists from every walk of academia, all dressed as their favorite superhero, carrying signs such as, Nerds Against Swirlies.

I want my lunch money back, and the ever-popular Free Schrödinger's Cats, Nerdapalooza 2017, will become a scientific force.

Proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

Solving the scientific questions we all want answers to.

Like if sea levels are actually rising, why did Al Gore buy an oceanfront mansion?

Why hasn't Sheila Lee Jackson's head collapsed from the obvious vacuum inside?

Please note, this is not a black hole joke.

Black holes matter densely.

And who would win?

Alien or Batman?

Or Spock?

Plus, see a special screening on the National Mall of the latest in the global warming series, Shark NATO Inside the Vortex.

On the giant inflatable screen filled with hot air that looks like a giant boob.

Yes, the screen looks exactly like Chuck Schumer.

And thanks to our corporate sponsor, be sure to get your free slice of never-ending pie, starting at 3.14.

Tell your eidetic memory to mentally circle the month of March 2017 for the scientific walk on Washington.

Endothermic or exothermic blow-up Barbie sold separately.

That's how I imagine the scientist march will go.

That's what I think it'll be like.

We'll see.

I'll be out there the 22nd in April because I'm not a scientist, but I am a capitalist.

And I'm going to go big on the 22nd because daddy needs some cash.

That's what's going to happen here.

You know, if you want the solution, because one of the things I keep doing on the morning show now is to offer solutions with all this stuff.

So we told you about the different protesters that turned into rioters and what's going on.

We told you the hypocrisies and the failures of people on the left and how to get that done and accomplished.

But the solution to the actual rioting is this.

Although police have done, in many cases, pretty good jobs from letting these things get out of hand, They need to start going more after those rioters.

They arrested some in DC.

They may have arrested some some the other night in Berkeley.

They need to start enforcing the law within that crowd.

And I know it's difficult to do and it's not easy, but I saw some of the failures in D.C.

They have a contain mentality first to keep it from getting out of hand.

And that's probably pretty smart.

But you need to go after these people with extreme prejudice.

These people are not just breaking windows or they're putting people in danger.

And you start...

You start clubbing these people a couple times when they're doing this stuff.

And I'm not talking about inappropriate police brutality.

I'm talking about, you know, they're going to resist.

Give them a couple whacks with this stuff.

Put the handcuffs on.

And by the way, don't put your head on the hand when you throw them in the cop car.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You hit your head on that.

You do that and you start putting that on TV.

Maybe you'll get rid of some of this stuff.

That's just my take on it.

Coming up, I'm going to need your help with something.

Check out the hashtag hire10,000 veterans.

And it's not spelled out.

It's the number 10000 veterans.

Hire 10,000 veterans on Twitter.

And we're going to talk about that coming up.

But but I want to talk to you about something that's been going on in my life I have a security system at my house that I don't love I've had some issues with it and just recently I'm like I got to get something else I know Glenn uses simply safe so this is something that I'm likely going to be calling on in the next couple of weeks losing forty thousand dollars in a single burglary Can you imagine that?

Well, that's exactly what happened to one homeowner in Los Angeles last month.

The perp dragged the homeowner safe all the way down the stairs, out the door, into a getaway vehicle.

So how did he break in?

He shattered a a single pane of glass too many homes out there maybe yours only have a single pane of glass is the barrier between your home safety and catastrophe that's why glenn has been recommending simply safe home security now these guys take care of your home and that's the reason i'm interested in it simply safe's 24 hour uh seven 24 7 protection is just 14.99 a month that's it less than 50 cents a day and that is far less than i'm paying right now and based on what glenn's telling me much better service as well.

Your belongings, your safety, your family, all worth so much more.

So why not give them a try?

I will be trying in the next few weeks.

The Glenn Beck Program.

Mercury.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Hi there, Doc Thompson in for Glenn today.

If you would please follow me on Twitter at Doc Thompson Show.

When I filled in for Glenn just before Christmas, we launched a little program because

I'm a capitalist

to have a little fun and to make money because I'm a capitalist.

and

It's going pretty well, but I could use your help

go to DNC trophy.com to get your participation trophy for a snowflake you know.

It's DNC trophy.com.

And I think Tommy had it on her program one night, giving trophies away.

We're going to do some more stuff down the road with this.

So order yours today because you're going to want to have it in a couple of weeks.

That's all I can say.

I don't want to get another email.

No, that's all I'm saying.

I'm not letting the cat rout completely out of the bag.

I've got emails last night.

I know, I can't.

There's things coming up I can't say.

I'm just saying, get your trophy now because there's some things coming up soon.

It's DNCTrophy.com.

The concept is this.

So all these people out there protesting at Berkeley or whatever, I got why they're protesting.

Why?

They're not used to losing.

Right?

They're used to, oh, no, you played the game.

Here's a trophy.

They're the trophy generation.

So when they lost the election, I mean, this was eight years of Obama.

They had win after win after crazy win for them.

And all of a sudden, they're in this world where they lose.

And every day Trump does something they're so bothered by.

So they're like, I can't deal with this.

See, you and I, we were used to being kicked around in the schoolyard, right?

I mean, you had to get out there and fight.

It was like Lord of the Flies every day after lunch.

We're used to fighting, right?

You lose some, you win some, but you get in there and fight, right?

They're not used to it.

So if we can just give them all a trophy.

Okay.

Here you go.

And you'll, if you go to dnctrophy.com, you look at it, it says, I participated in the in the 2016 election.

If you had fun, you won.

They won.

Here you go.

You're all winners.

I think if we can get a trophy to all of these snowflakes and the protesters out there in Berkeley, it all goes away.

And they're on board going, yes, President Trump, I am behind you.

They'll realize it.

They're part of it then.

It's inclusive.

Do you think the inclusive thing's working?

And so I keep saying words like that.

That sounds like a good buzz phrase now.

DNC Trophy.com, get yours.

They're only like $12.50 or something.

And we have a program for free shipping because you got to pay shipping on yours.

For free shipping, we'll send one to like Colin Kaepernick, to members of the DNC, just so you can stick it to them.

I mean, you can show them that you want them to feel like a winner as well.

You got a snowflake in your life, DNCTrophy.com, you just get it and,

you know, give it to somebody like her, have it.

Yeah, I'm a a capitalist.

I'm admitting I'm making money off of this.

This is a good thing, but it's also fun and it's bringing the country together.

That's what it's really about.

Don't focus so much on my making money.

I think that's the wrong attitude here.

All right, Cal, let's get to some tweets.

The hashtag what I learned today.

Please follow at Doc Thompson's show at Cal79 and at RC underscore Chris if you want to know more about our show in the morning blaze.

What do we have going on, Cal?

Let's see, looking at Andy Grab.

Doc Thompson Show, what I learned today.

Hey, Doc, what's with that man ring on your index finger?

Son of a guy.

Is that a 22-kill ring you're wearing?

You know, I've been seeing that lately, and I got to call, you know, call you out here because I'm not up for man jewelry.

I don't know what you're doing there.

All week, you guys have been around me, and nobody's called me.

I'm like, apparently I haven't seen it.

I knew somebody was going to.

I did.

I noticed it, but I didn't know what to do.

This is my wedding ring.

And the other one I don't wear all the time.

This was a gift early on from my wife.

I didn't have a wedding ring when we started dating.

And I don't wear it all the time because I'm not a big jewelry fan either.

In fact, this is pretty much the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring.

The reason I'm wearing it is because it's uncomfortable and I don't like it.

Now, that sounds counterintuitive, right?

This is one of those things at times in my life when I try to remember things that I'm having trouble with, like don't kick that guy in the face on the subway today.

When I'm having particular struggles with something in my life, remember to be a better person.

So it'll come out for a week or two at a time when I'm trying to remember something.

I'm like, okay, remember you got to do this, work hard.

And I have been putting in more and more time away from my family and it's been a bit of a struggle to me, being away from my sons and my wife, because I'm looking for opportunities.

Glenn treats me really well around here

and I want to do more.

But anything could happen tomorrow and I've got to grow my brand.

I've done some work with Conservative Review.

I'm looking for other side opportunities with television and whatnot.

And being away from my family to do that, being in Dallas is a struggle.

So this is my reminder this week that when I am unhappy and missing them, this is for them.

So a translation, you're going to be away from your wife.

You said you put that ring on so people know you're calm.

I just told a really nice story that I thought people were going to believe, and you have to ruin it.

Why are you always reigning on my truth?

I pull up.

You're always pulling me down, Cal.

I'm true.

I'm trying to share something nice, and you have to tell the truth.

Your wife is marketing territory.

This is really frustrating to me.

You know what?

I think we need some changes in the control booth.

We're going to take a break.

We'll come back and figure this thing out.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Hi, I'm Doc Thompson, pinch hitting for Glenn today, regularly heard on the Blaze Radio Network.

Just go to theblaze.com slash doc for more information on me.

I want to ask for your help with something today, and I hope it's something you'll take seriously, and I hope it's something that you'll take just a moment and help us out with.

A couple of, I think it was about a week or so, maybe a couple of weeks ago, that's just about a week ago, when Donald Trump announced his ban as it's being pushed, a Muslim ban, which of course it isn't a Muslim ban and it's barely even a ban because a ban indicates like indefinite or for lengthy periods of time.

When he announced this, a bunch of people flipped out and said, how dare you try to keep refugees out?

These are people that need our help.

Quick monologue on that.

Yes, these refugees do need our help.

They should be vetted, thoroughly vetted, and and then vetted some more, and then probably a little more vetting, just to make sure we know who they are.

But of course we should, when we can, help people around the world.

Of course we should be doing that.

If you're a Christian, your faith tells you you should be doing that.

My problem with it though is we have people that we don't have to vet that need help.

We have people that live next door to us, down the street, that we pass on our way to work every day, homeless people.

There are people right here in America that live in places like West Virginia and Alabama and Mississippi, some very poor parts of America, Kentucky, that need your help.

People in richer states like the New England states and New York, California that are living in poverty and need your help.

Now, I think there's a more libertarian and conservative way to help them than, hey, government, give them money or you just cutting them a check.

There are programs and systems and organizations we can go through, but we are dictated, directed by our faiths to help these people.

So it's good to help refugees, but shouldn't we prioritize Americans first, the people closest to us?

Because when we help them, we build a stronger America, and a stronger America allows us to help even more people.

That's how it works.

When you're strong, you can help more.

When you're weak, you're helping fewer people.

That's just how it is.

It's smart.

It's common sense.

And by the way, these are people we know, people that are around us.

People that we understand, certainly better than people that come from halfway around the world.

And I'm telling you, yes, we should, when we can, help those people out.

When it comes to the ban or so-called Muslim ban, as some are saying, Donald Trump is right to at least say we need to make sure the proper systems are in place to determine if people coming to America are going to hurt us.

A temporary stoppage, 90 days.

Okay.

If he really believes this is something that's going to help the structure, cool.

If it was a Muslim Muslim ban or a ban on Hindus or anybody else based on their religion or based on a race or something, I would say absolutely not.

Based on countries that are primarily Muslim, not a concern if those countries were primarily responsible for terrorism.

Having said all of that, Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, sent out a message,

public form.

public release that says that the Starbucks company is going to hire 10,000 refugees over the next five years.

This is their goal.

Hire 10,000 refugees.

And as I said, it's nice to help people.

It's good that they're thinking of those people.

But why isn't Howard Schultz and Starbucks thinking of Americans first?

Primarily the people who pay for their coffee?

I mean, I know they sell coffee around the world, but I'm thinking they have more shops in America and more Americans buying your coffee than anyone else.

Why aren't they helping certain Americans, like

veterans?

How is it that the people that made your existence possible, veterans, that you haven't thought about them before thinking of refugees?

I find that inconscionable.

It's outrageous.

It's disgusting.

That he wouldn't say, wait a minute, let's help 10,000 veterans.

Let's get them jobs.

You're going to give jobs to 10,000 refugees before 10,000 veterans?

That's a huge failure.

When you look at the number of veterans that are coming back with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD and can't get jobs because of that, veterans that are just being overlooked because of political biases as well, and there are tens of thousands of them out of work, there may be as many as 200,000 veterans out of work right now.

I mean, it's nice to have jobs for everybody, but let's be honest, if not for veterans, we would not be here.

That's not overselling it.

I mean, throughout American history, we have fought and defended America.

I mean, by we, I mean, the veterans fought for America.

Howard Schultz wouldn't have a place to do his, to put his business.

He wouldn't have a place to make millions of dollars himself while saying we're going to help refugees over veterans.

So I got kind of ticked off at this and I said, you know what?

I don't have a multi-million dollar company.

I'm a man of simple means, but I at least appear on the Glenn Beck program now and then.

I have my own radio program.

Maybe we can help 10,000 veterans.

I want to hire 10,000 veterans or find jobs for them anyways, in the next 30 days.

How can we?

Is that too lofty?

I mean, maybe that's crazy.

Are there 10,000 positions out there at your company or other companies?

Do you know someone who has a company?

They're getting ready to hire some people.

Would they make a commitment to hiring veterans?

I mean, we'll retweet them.

We'll give them what publicity we can.

Can you hire a veteran today?

We had some commitments last night on our Facebook page.

We did a Facebook broadcast.

Well, we're using the hashtag hire10,000 veterans on Twitter.

And I want this to be a central meeting place over the next month or so where you can go if you're a veteran and say, let me scroll through and see if anybody's hiring in my area.

Or if you're a company, maybe you tweet out there, hey, we're located here.

We can hire four veterans.

We can hire 160 veterans over the next month or so.

I mean,

maybe you're not going to hire until April.

Okay, fine.

Can you tell us about it now so we can be prepared?

We got 10,000.

That's what we're looking for.

Maybe it's crazy.

Maybe we only get 10.

it's maybe it's too modest.

Maybe we get 20,000.

All I know is somebody's got to try.

And the Veterans Administration is not helping them.

In fact, the Veterans Administration is still killing veterans.

We have the hashtag fix the VA.

Hopefully Donald Trump's going to do something.

Hopefully his new VA director will do something.

I don't know.

If they don't, I'm going to be kicking their ass on air in a couple months.

Hopefully they're going to do it.

As of now, the Veterans Administration is still not taking care of veterans.

They're still killing them.

Somebody's got to do something.

It's got to be us.

What are we going to do?

The way to help veterans is not put them on a bunch of meds.

The way to help veterans is to show them love, concern, and care, help them get jobs, help them deal with their injuries.

And sometimes that's service animals or what is it, hyperbaric oxygen chambers.

Is that what the hyperbaric, am I getting the name right?

Any of these alternative treatments like this, and give them a job.

People get self-worth through their job.

People don't want to, most of us don't want to,

get paid for doing nothing.

We want to do.

I mean, it'd be nice to have a big fat check coming in, don't get me wrong, and hit the lottery, but we're still going to go do that.

What we do is our self-worth, and that's going to help veterans.

Hashtag hire10,000 veterans on Twitter.

And we don't spell it out.

It's the number, 10000.

Veterans.

Hashtag hire10,000 veterans.

Please tweet at us now if you know of somebody that's hiring.

If you're a company, do you own a company?

Are you HR?

Can you make the commitment?

We'll give you a plug here.

We'll help you out.

I mean, I know you're probably doing it for the right reasons, but I mean, I'll help you anyway I can.

And we've got 30 days to get this done.

I don't want to bag on Starbucks completely because they're doing some good with that.

But it still seems empty when you're going to hire 10,000 refugees at your 11,000 stores over five years.

Did you get those numbers?

They have over 11,000 stores worldwide and you're going to hire 10,000 veterans over five years.

So every year,

one of five, count them out, one, two, three, four, five, seven, nine, every fifth store of theirs will hire one veteran every year to reach that number.

That doesn't sound like much of a commitment, does it?

No.

Even for the refugees.

Did I say veterans?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

Refugees.

Doesn't even sound much of a commitment for the refugees.

Every fifth store of theirs will hire one refugee over five years.

And then who's holding Starbucks or other companies accountable when they say this?

You're going to hire 10,000 refugees?

Is anybody going to, five years from now, go, all right, Starbucks, let's see the books, baby.

Let's see it.

Let me see.

What do you got?

Did you hire the 10,000 refugees?

I'm putting money.

Who wants to bet me?

You want to put a bet up that they don't hire 10,000 refugees if there was a way to tell?

Let's go.

You want to do it?

Yeah.

Let's put it out there.

Steak dinner, baby.

Okay.

Because as far as I'm concerned, they're not going to hire 10,000 refugees.

I'm telling you now, I don't believe you.

You're not going to do it because there's no accountability.

I can claim anything.

If there's no follow-up, there's no accountability.

And if people do follow up, what are they going to do?

Are they going to go, you're right, we lied.

It was for publicity.

We didn't get it done.

No, they'll make up some BS excuse like, well, we didn't reach our goal of 10,000, we did hit 1,400 and continue to help people with our other services.

And the bigger issue at the time was to make a stance against Donald.

It'll be a bunch of crap like that that their marketing department comes up with.

So Starbucks, I'm calling you out.

Howard Schultz, pick up the phone.

888-727-BEC, tell me where the accountability is.

I think it's good that you want to help people, but why aren't you helping veterans first?

Where are you, Schultz?

I'll have you on this program.

I'll have you on mine.

Because when when I read through the things you support, like DACA and illegals, it seems like you're really just using your money and influence to push a progressive agenda, pretending to be caring, pretending that you want to help people.

I'm actually helping people.

We're going to get a break in.

We'll take some of your calls coming up.

888727B.

The phone is open for Howard Schultz.

Anybody else at

Starbucks Corporate, if he wants you to go on because he wusses out and doesn't want to face the heat here, I'll talk to their marketing people as well, as long as it's official from Starbucks.

Come on, tell us what you're up to.

Tell us where the accountability is.

Are you going to put it online?

You're going to list the people you've hired?

You're going to prove it?

Come on.

Hey, I'll say I'm wrong if you end up doing it.

That's just for the refugees.

Meanwhile, we'll also take some calls.

Okay, so we got a bunch of people tweeting and actually have some people offering some jobs, a handful of jobs here and there at hashtag hire10,000 veterans.

And we're hoping to do this in the next month or so.

Now, some people on social media and others have called us out and said, Wait, you guys are misunderstanding it.

No,

we're not misunderstanding it.

He did say he was going to hire 10,000 refugees over five years.

Some people are claiming, wait a minute, they have hired veterans in the past and made a commitment.

Chris Cruz is here with us from the Morning Blaze as well.

They've said that he's hired, made a commitment to hire 10,000 veterans in the past.

Yes, so in 2013, November 2013, they started an initiative to hire 10,000 veterans and military spouses by 2018.

Okay, good.

Did they give you numbers on whether or not?

Yes, they gave me a number.

They say so far, four years into the commitment, they hired 8,800 veterans and family spouses.

Did they list their names?

No.

Did they list their partially redacted social security numbers?

No.

But I'm not buying it.

I'm not buying the corporate crap.

You don't come out even after saying we're going to hire 10,000 veterans and then say we're going to hire 10,000 refugees.

Guess what?

There's another 10,000 veterans behind them and another 10,000 veterans behind them.

So you've said, what?

Okay, we made our commitment to hire 10,000 and we're almost there.

Now we'll just knock off and hire some refugees.

So you're helping veterans, supposedly, that's good.

I mean, supposedly you're helping them and that's good.

But now you're willing to knock off in favor of refugees.

They're still not helping.

If you're going to hire another 10,000 people, why wouldn't you hire another 10,000 veterans

now again it's nice that you made the commitment to veterans but based on this first of all I need proof in today's fake news world and corporate America saying whatever it is for marketing purposes prove it to me

show me their names list their names list their partially redacted social security numbers prove the 8,000 people Starbucks.

And if you do,

I'll admit it.

Even if you do, remember, you still made the commitment for the next 10,000 people you hire, or part of the next people you hire, to be refugees.

Why?

Why wouldn't you say, hey, everybody, President Obama said this about the refugees, and it's always great.

And, you know, we have our opinions about that.

We made a commitment to hire 10,000 veterans in 2013.

You know, we're almost at 9,000 and we could prove it to you.

But, you know, we're going to go another 10,000 now.

There is tens of thousands of veterans who need help.

This is simply Starbucks trying to get out of trouble because a lot of people are rightfully ticked off.

You are putting refugees above Americans and above America.

And that's where I draw the line.

I believe we should help people.

I want to help people.

I want to help people around the world, but not at the expense of Americans and certainly not putting them before Americans.

I believe charity starts at home.

You help the people that you know, you help the people around you, you people in your community, and it grows out from there.

That's what I believe in.

That's what should happen.

It makes us all better.

It makes us able to help more people in the future.

So Starbucks, fine.

I'm willing to hear you out.

I'll put you on the morning blaze on Monday.

I'll talk to you on this program.

I'm sure Glenn would interview him at some point.

I can't speak for him, but I would be willing to bet he would.

So prove it to me, number one, or it's just there's no accountability.

You could claim anything.

How long were those veterans there?

What did you do?

What type of jobs they were?

Give me some details.

Sounds nice, but great.

And that was since 2013.

Okay, you got 10,000, 11, 11, 5,

11,500 stores or something?

Okay, that's a lot of employees.

You know, 8,000 over a few years.

Again, every fifth store?

Just saying there's still a lot of criticism to go around.

Where is the next 10,000 veterans?

I'm tired of pussyfooting around about this stuff and corporate America and marketing.

I'm not doing this.

I don't own a company.

This is not to make certain companies look good.

It's to get veterans hired.

And by the way, damn it.

Damn it, Howard Schultz.

If you really cared about this, How come you're bitching about DACA and supporting that stuff instead of demanding they fix the VA?

What about that?

You're coming at me like, oh, we made a commitment to veterans.

If you really cared about veterans, you wouldn't be pussyfooting around about DACA and caring about all this progressive stuff that Obama did instead of holding him accountable for not fixing the VA and George W.

Bush for not fixing the VA.

Don't give me this crap like you care about veterans.

You obviously don't.

Because you spent more time and press releases and your political capital with your company and probably actual capital with your company supporting Obama's progressive ideas like illegals even.

He could say right now, our commitment is veterans.

Hashtag fix the VA.

He could be on my program, Doc.

You're right.

He could be using his influence.

With other companies, with the government, the people's money he pours pockets he pours money into in DC saying how come we're not fixing the VA instead he supported things like progressive ideas like big socialized medicine.

We've got it.

It's not working.

And it's veterans.

So where are you on it?

It's a weak at best attempt to try to make your company look good.

And I'm not going to have any of it.

Do the job.

Damn, how hard is that?

And how hard is it for the VA?

Do it.

Help them.

Don't tell me about it.

Go do it.

And don't help the refugees first.

This is not hard.

The Veterans Administration has been screwing veterans since before it was the Veterans Administration and it was the Veterans Agency.

Since day one in America, veterans have been screwed.

When?

When are they going to fix it?

Trump, you're on notice too.

I'm going to give you about six months, maybe a year.

Fix it.

Shut it down.

Dismantle it.

Give them a check.

Buy their health care elsewhere.

Get out of the way.

The Glen Beck program.

The Glen Beck program.

All right, little breather there.

It's just stuff sticks.

Do you feel better now?

I do.

It's like therapy, but I mean,

stuff angers me when it's so damn simple and we get so much backlash from people and nonsense when we know there is a major problem.

And the only

solution that's even ventured is maybe we should do more of that stuff that didn't work let's do that a lot more of it let's just put more money into more money to the stuff that didn't work damn hashtag hire 10 000 veterans got some tweets coming up but first let's go to the phones line 55 in florida neil you're on the glenn beck program

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

I appreciate everything you're doing.

I'm a disabled veteran.

I own a small business, which is an engineering company, a service disabled veteran-owned small business, and we're hiring veterans now, engineers, technicians, and accountants.

Neil, God bless you, sir.

God bless you.

What part of Florida are you based out of, and what's the name of the business?

We're in Orlando, Florida, and the name of the company is Gear.

G-E-A-R.

It's an acronym for Gator Engineering and Aquifer Restoration.

Okay, do you have a website, Twitter, Facebook, anything like that where people can find out more about you?

www.gearengineer.com.

G-E-A-REngineer.com.

Yes, sir.

Okay, listen, you're a disabled vet.

When and where did you serve?

I served in the U.S.

Navy from 1975 to 1986.

God bless you, and thank you for your service, and thank you for

being willing to hire vets, too.

How many people are you going to hire in the next five months or so?

A handful, a couple, five, three, one?

Half a dozen.

We're going to look at six.

We're growing very quickly.

Okay, good.

Gearengineer.com.

Did I get that right?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Neil, thank you so much.

Listen, follow me on Twitter.

And if I can help you ever, just tweet at me.

Sometimes it takes a couple times, and I'll be willing to help you out, okay?

Thank you, and God bless you for what you're doing.

Thank you, sir.

Let's see here.

You got some free signals.

I got a couple of ones that I would like to read.

We got James here in Texas.

He runs an appliance repair business and

he wants to hire a veteran.

So if you go to Jim3Repair, so that's J-I-M, the number3repair.com, and you're a veteran and you're here in Texas.

he's going in the San Antonio area he will hire you awesome also we have Jill from Express Pro KC

she says we're a staffing agency and we're in we want to hire veterans and the last one that I found was in Florida if you're in Miami Florida they're looking to hire five veterans that are into demolition steel and concrete work hey I'm into those things too bad I'm not a veteran with yeah oh I mean like professionally

all you have to do is fax a resume to this number fax resume to 305-501-4760 that

number again is one more time that number again 305-501-4760.

And again, these are all on Twitter if you just follow the hashtag hire10,000.

And there's a lot of people doing it, different companies, but those are the ones that are ready to go.

Okay, good.

Hopefully, you'll get it done.

I'm just, I'm trying to help in any way I can.

I can't rely on the government, apparently, to spend my tax dollars properly to run an agency that's supposed to help veterans.

So I'll do what I can here.

We've always done that.

We've talked about these issues.

We've gone to marches.

We've created videos.

We've done all kinds of things to help veterans.

And we'll keep trying stuff to see what works.

It's difficult.

Chris, you're a veteran, Chris Cruz.

Yeah, the Blaze actually, you know, partaked on that.

They hired a veteran.

I'm a veteran.

That's right.

We did just hire a veteran.

You just hired me.

Yeah, and it's fun because you were talking about TBI.

I have that, which is traumatic brain injury.

PTSD.

I want you to, nobody's going, what?

Oh, really?

What?

Especially if you work with me the last month.

They're like, oh.

Right.

Makes sense.

I get it now.

Yeah.

PTSD check mark is there.

Depression is there.

You have some physical injuries, too.

Physical injury.

I have ankles are made of

titanium or they?

No, not titanium, but they got like nuts and and bolts and wires because I messed them up.

It's fun being at the airport, isn't it?

Oh, yes, I love it.

I don't tell them.

Do you have any medals

in the little machine?

You know, where it has the highlighted area where it's always.

They're like,

what's in your ankles?

Oh, I forgot about those.

Yeah, there's nuts and bolts and wires.

Do we have to touch it?

I was like, go for it.

Yeah, it's tight.

Can I touch you?

Yeah, go for it.

But yeah,

I'm one of those guys that actually has been.

It took me a month.

I told you about this.

It took me about a year and a half just to get one appointment to get a heartburn medicine.

Just get a little bit of a message.

It comes all the way from

the middle of the earth.

As Cal pointed out, heartburn medicine comes in the center of the earth.

It's very difficult to get heartburn medicine.

Yeah, especially if you've seen those commercials where the guy goes, you know,

they're trying to.

But I mean, it's made from some very rare substances that you can only get.

So you don't have those.

You can't just go down to 7-Eleven and buy heartburn.

You can't get it on the Amazon.

It's like a plant.

And they put it on the medicine.

And it's hard to get something like that.

I do have to call a bit of a foul.

First of all, maybe that's something you could have just gone down to Target and gotten.

But it wasn't work.

It wasn't strong enough.

I know, I'm just messing with you.

Yeah.

But you had the appointment.

You had an issue.

Bottom line is, and you went to the VA.

A year and a half.

Wow, okay.

Because it doesn't count.

It has to first come from a physical.

So I can't just be like, hey, Doc, well, you're a doctor.

I'll be like, hey, doc, I got some heartburn.

And, oh, no, no.

First, you have to do a full full physical.

And we have to.

Do I?

Yes.

Even for something like that?

Yes.

You have to do a full physical.

Okay.

Is that every time?

Well, that was my second time going.

Okay, so maybe they were just up front doing that.

They were like, hey, we got to do a physical and then they will send me to a specialist.

A heartburn specialist.

A heartburn specialist.

I did not know that was something.

Yeah, I got gastrointestinal or something.

I don't know.

Okay, so.

So you went and got the physical?

Yes.

And then from there, a year and a half?

Yes.

And then who did you see?

A a gastro oh i don't know it was the point was so january 19

um i had a cancel because i had a job here so this was in florida this was in florida yes well but i mean now that you can't you could just pick up one right here i could pick up yeah right here and that won't take no it won't take because everybody did the physical but uh but are you still on a waiting list i'm still on the waiting list yeah because i moved to texas so by changing though and being there texas is it still will it be like another four months now i have no idea i'm still there's transferring all the paperwork from florida to texas because it's a brand new

hand delivering each other.

I don't understand this.

The VA in Florida is different than

Pony Express.

Is it Pony Express, like Cal said?

Is it hand-delivered?

Are they writing it out by hand?

No, they have to go through

the train system.

And you see, there's no train connect straight to Florida to Texas.

And they have to get it here.

Chris, let me help you out.

They could just do...

Look at this.

Okay, I just sent your document.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we got him.

We got him.

The VA still, in the past, they don't do internet, they don't do

computers.

They're not doing anything electronic?

Oh, no, they are, but they just don't.

But it's just not sent around.

No, I'm just, it wouldn't shock me at this point.

I mean, because I have heard stories, other people from the Veterans Administration saying where they couldn't get files transferred, stuff like this.

When it comes like that, they

have to mail your physical documents.

So yes, they do have it online, but they always have to, it's like a package that they give you.

And you have to carry those and those are hand carries to a different, and that's one of the things most of the military people in the military live, they know that you have to hand carry your medical records when you move.

It's electronic.

No, Doc, you don't understand.

The internet doesn't always work.

It does.

Okay, if it doesn't work, then you go, hey, I didn't get that.

Can you resend it?

Okay, I got it now.

That's a lot of microbites you killed there you know is that what it is all those horrible bites that yeah this this is this is what i'm talking about this is just silliness and there's nobody there to step up and say guys we can just do this knock it off and by the way if there's some reason we can't why

why we've got to change some other system then

all right now did they try to put you on a bunch of meds they did they try to give me uh when they found out that i had p ts i'm not talking about the the self-prescribed stuff you were oh no that's that's separate that's a complete aside gotcha you and jeff and jeffy you and jeffy gotcha um the dr jeffy uh that's what he that's what jeffy makes people call him around the office yes dr jeffy dr jeffy then you go out to the trunk of his car and he's like here you go i got this bag for you when it's a bag full of like colorful pills so he's like just take this one with this one i'm like never these two though never these two together red never go together uh but yeah they try to put me on different medications but one of the things that i always my faith i always relied on my faith and one of the things i was like you know what i really don't need medication uh let's can we try it without medications?

They were like, yeah, that's fine, but it's going to take longer.

I was like, that's fine with me.

I just, you know, don't want to get.

If I don't have to, let's just.

But so far it's been,

I was two years in the treatment,

four years total counting this year, four years.

And it's been amazing without any kind of...

Other than painkillers for my ankle surgeries, but no antidepressants, nothing for my TBI, nothing for my, when it comes to anxiety anxiety

and so I did the no just a lot of talking okay and it kind of works for me because I love to talk yeah so it was most sitting just like this so you should be paying the blaze then because you should be

therapy sorry sorry expensive

don't let anybody

edit that out

but what's um

did did you have any experience with so you didn't actually get a lot of stuff prescribed from them no I did not get anything prescribed when it came to that stuff and the reason I asked that is because there are a bunch of veterans told me stories of them having meds sent to their house.

This is how they do it.

They ship them out to their house and they would send often the wrong meds.

And they'd call them and say he sent the wrong stuff.

And they're like, well, yeah, but because you touched it, even if you didn't open it, we can't take it back, which makes sense.

You know, you don't want someone slip at some of the Mickey.

And they're like, well, what do I do?

We'll just flush them down in the toilet.

So

number one, they said a lot of times this happens.

So they're sending out these meds we're paying for.

Number two, you're just disposing them in the toilet and believing people will do that.

You know, I have to get a prescription to get antibiotics when I think I have a sinus infection.

And you make me go through this, but you're just like, yeah, we sent you those wrong psychotropic drugs.

Just we trust you to get rid of them yourself by flushing them down the toilet.

And then third, stop flushing stuff down the toilet.

It's not good.

You know, the meds down the toilet, not good, guys.

Not sure if you know this or not.

Just failure after failure.

All right, quick break back with more in the Glenn Beck program.

Oh, we got to do Sherry's Berry.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, where are the Sherry's Berries around here?

Yeah, I love the Sherry's Berries.

Here was my plan, okay?

I'm thinking there's Sherry's Berries around here.

Well, I had some the first time they did it this week.

I don't know where those are.

But I'm thinking, I take the sherry.

It's got to be some around here, right?

I get out of buying them.

They're here, right?

I take them home to the wife.

No, no Sherry's Berries.

Every time someone goes paperless, thousands of microbites die.

See?

I didn't realize that, Jen.

I

appreciate you letting us, though.

Jeff Gibson, the VA has finally upgraded their system.

They've installed electronic typewriters.

Jeff, here's the thing.

Not every branch, not every local hospital within the VA system has upgraded the electronic typewriters yet.

Some are.

I think they have the rest of them up by the end of the year.

They still got to

phase out the telegrams.

the pony express that's still out west though i mean it's limited out west but you know they hope to have that wrapped up this year d uh tweeting two years i waited to get a tumor checked two years with lingering cancer thoughts okay that's fun d that's big fun you actually interviewed him for the uh little piece that you did for uh

that's Fix a VA hashtag.

You actually interviewed him and me.

I remember

the whole veterans.

Yeah, mean, you don't want to linger.

Listen, I've had some health concerns where you're like, Yeah, I remember that.

What was that?

Where you think you have cancer.

And I mean, it was like, I waited two days to get tested to see if I had cancer.

That was a horrible two days.

Imagine two years.

I mean, you know, two days, two years, all the same, Chris, right?

You know, got it.

I mean, I, but it was me that waited two days.

You know,

Lecurion

tweeting, come on at Doc Thompson, Joe, do you realize how long it takes to transfer a VA database on five and a quarter floppies?

I mean, the disc gets when you load them up.

I mean, how many do you get on a flatbed?

I'm just saying, maybe you don't transfer all of them.

How about this?

You have them carry their own five and a quarter floppy.
