Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

Glad you're here.

A real loss yesterday as we are

trying to pay attention to all the things that that are happening in Washington, we got distracted this morning by a song.

We begin there right now:

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 one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

Today,

we were

this morning we were talking about the passing of Mary Tyler Moore.

And as we started talking about it, Pat pulled up this song.

And it

just about

broke us up.

Here it is.

You might just make it after long.

You might just make it after long.

That is probably, I mean, that just makes me want to go back in time.

And once we get there, we want to come right back, I guarantee you.

But doesn't that make you want to just go back in time?

Yeah, it does.

It does.

And that was just the first year theme.

Yeah, because that says

you might just make it after all.

They changed it to the second year.

That one said,

How are you, or how will you make it on your own?

And then they changed it the next year because she said it wasn't optimistic enough.

Look at that.

Who can turn the world on with her smile

Who can take a nothing day

and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile Well, it's you, girl, and you should know it

With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all alone, no need to waste it

You can have it down, why don't you take it?

make it after all.

Yeah,

television saying

it's not optimistic enough.

And it's not television, it was her.

Was it Mary Tyler Moore?

It was Mary Tyler Moore that was just not optimistic enough because that's who she was.

And if you looked, you remember, I remember hearing at the end, da-da-da-da.

Well,

you always hear the cat in your head.

That's from MT Adam.

Yeah, her production company, which also did

a ton.

Here are the top five biggest shows or comedies from Mary Tyler Moore Productions.

Newhart, which I absolutely love.

Rhoda, another iconic show.

WKRP in Cincinnati.

Oh, my wow.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the Bob Newhart Show.

Now, the Bob Newhart one is

the Daryl and Daryl one, right?

No, that's that's that's Newhart.

That's that's the one I thought.

The Bob Newhart show was the original,

which explains the ending

of Newhart, which I thought was the greatest ending of any show of all time.

I think it's probably widely considered the best series finale of all time.

So good.

Is it?

I would say, yeah, probably.

I mean, obviously, like, there are certain ones that are higher rated than Bashwan, MASH, and, you know, there's plenty that were higher rated than that.

But as far as just

in retrospect, respected, the New Heart one has to, has to top that list, I think.

So Mary Tyler Moore, they say that the opening of her show, where she throws the hat in the air, is, they say, is the most iconic television opening of all time.

I don't know if that's true, but

it defined an age.

The lady who is, do you remember?

There was the old lady in the back when she threw her hat on the air, it froze.

Do you remember?

Yeah.

Okay.

There was a lady in the background.

Do you remember that?

An old lady who looked at her like, what's going on around here?

That's a real lady

who.

They didn't think it was a robot.

No, I know that.

But it's.

It's a CG Ider.

No, it was just a lady on the street who was just walking while they were filming.

And she heard the commotion and she turned around at that moment.

And so her turning around looking all angry.

That was a real thing.

She was a lifetime woman who lived in Minneapolis.

And she finally met Mary Tyler Moore in 1995, and Mary Tyler Moore introduced her as my co-star.

That's great.

Yeah, isn't that cool?

That's great.

That's really cool.

The thing you take from that, too, is that the theme song is dead.

I mean, when's the last time you can even think of a recognizable theme song?

I mean, occasionally you get one.

You know, there are a lot like The Simpsons that have been on for 20 years that have kind of theme sequences that you remember, but they're all like eight seconds now.

I mean, there's, there, there aren't real theme songs in this, in this way anymore, really.

Well, the biggest theme song was Law and Order.

Don't do them.

Yeah, I mean, but seriously, I mean, look at, I always think of like Modern Family.

And you look at like that as compared to like the Cosby Show.

The Cosby Show's theme songs were a minute 30, a minute 40.

Like Modern Family is like eight seconds.

They're all seriously like that.

They just get to the show as fast as possible because no one has the time like the

You know the attention span to sit through it.

But there's something about that repetition that would make you like the show more.

You know, like you would, you would.

Cheers.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like the cheers theme song.

Yeah.

That became a hit song on the radio for a while.

All of these did.

Except I don't think, I don't know if All in the Family did.

This actually was released in 1980.

The song.

As a song on the charts.

Yeah.

I don't remember playing it.

I don't remember playing it either.

The All in the Family Open

was

pretty iconic, but that's the song, though, really.

Not the video.

Her video is what you're talking about.

The open.

Yeah, the video and the song.

The whole open together.

Because KRP, oh my gosh, another.

I mean.

And look, it's almost the same.

It's almost the same opening as the Mary Tyler Moore song.

She also did a couple of shows.

Ever heard of the Texas Wheelers?

No.

Flop.

1974.

It only lasted a little bit, but one of the stars, the first appearance

of Mark Hamill.

Oh, really?

And

he was in the comedy

at that point.

Then they did the Bob Crane show,

which

Bob Crane, wow.

That's the guy from Hogan's Heroes.

Yeah, but I can't imagine him in his own show.

Didn't last long because

he probably died when that was right.

About the time he got killed?

No, he died in the 80s, didn't he?

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe.

He died a weird death, too.

Wasn't he like a porn

in a hotel room or something?

Yeah, they made a movie about that recently.

Yeah.

About that.

We'll have to find it.

And that was in Arizona, wasn't it?

It was like a really sad death.

Yes, it was.

The guy, oh, I try and remember.

The guy, the morning show guy, I worked with him.

He was legendary

in

Phoenix.

Haywood, Bob Haywood, Bill Haywood.

You remember him?

He was legendary morning show guy for years, for decades in Phoenix.

And I think his wife got cancer.

I'm sorry.

My apologies to everybody in Phoenix who knows this story.

One of them, I think his wife got cancer, and they went to a hotel and did double suicide.

And, like, what?

Yeah.

Oh, geez.

Oh, it's a horribly tragic story.

That's a fun story.

Thank you, George.

Yeah, thank you.

Well, back to Mary Tyler Moore.

But Crane died in 78.

And what was the circumstance?

Murder.

Yeah, he was killed.

He was murdered.

Bludgeoned to death with a weapon never identified.

Though investigators believe it was a camera tripod.

Wasn't there something about porn about this?

Electrical cord tied around his neck.

Yeah, and it did happen in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Wow.

We'll have to look into this a little bit because, yeah,

it was under pretty bizarre circumstances.

Yeah.

The electrical cord around the neck.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's a movie called Auto Focus in 2002 that came out starring Greg Kinnear telling the story.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah.

That's right.

In case you happen to see that.

What happened to him?

Greg Kinnear?

No, no, no.

Bob Crane.

What happened?

I mean, how did he get into that dark

place?

I don't know.

Once you start going down that road, Glenn.

Mary Tyler Moore.

Mary Tyler Moore also

gave the world Leaf Garrett in Three for the Road.

Did the Tony Randall show, the Betty White show, The White Shadow.

Do you remember that?

No.

You don't remember The White Shadow?

I remember Dark Shadow.

I don't remember White Shadow.

No, The White Shadow.

It was a white kid in a black school on a black basketball team.

Yeah, the white shadow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I do remember that.

Yeah.

Didn't she also do Hill Street Blues?

Yes.

Hill Street Blues.

Then she did the Mary Tyler Moore Hour.

She did Carlton Your Dorman, Beverly Hill Bunts.

These are all shows that nobody knows.

Did they do a Dorman?

They did a spin-off of Carlton the Dorman

cartoon.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

That's a good biff though.

Wow.

Yeah.

I'm trying to look at all the shows that she did.

As you're going through this list, to finish up on this Bob Crane thing, fame resulting from the show, Hogan's Heroes, led to excesses and a meeting with home video salesman and technician John Carpenter, with whom he would form a relationship based on their mutual interests, namely excessive sex and capturing nude females on film.

His fame allowed Crane to have as much sex as he wanted, which was incongruent to his somewhat wholesome television-friendly image, and the way he portrayed himself to almost everyone except Carpenter and his extramarital sex partners.

His sex addition was somewhat known but ignored by his high school sweetheart and his first wife, but well known by his second wife,

better known as one of his Hogan Heroes co-star,

especially at the end of Hogan's Heroes in 1971.

It wound up making him

basically unhirable and would contribute to both his professional and personal downfall.

It's bizarre.

Wow.

Because, you know, they always talk about that, how like, you know, the old-time baseball players and stuff did all sorts of crazy stuff, but nobody talked about it.

And you go back and look at the history of some of these people, man, it is bizarre.

Can I tell you, ask who was more powerful in the 80s than Mary Tyler Moore?

She did Saint Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues.

Those two, Hill Street Blues changed television, totally changed television.

It went from the

the kind of cop show like Barney Miller.

Yeah, the optimistic cop show to the real to the real cop show where they were going to, where the guys were good guys and bad guys was the first show that showed a cop's life.

The struggle of the police officer, yeah.

First time.

Then they went from that,

think of this, Mary Tyler Moore, who on that theme song, this is amazing, that theme song, not optimistic enough

in the early 1970s.

Then in the 80s, looking at a cop show going, no, it's not real enough.

It's not depressing enough.

Saint Elsewhere is called Saint Elsewhere because it was Saint Elijah's or something like that.

And they called it Saint Elsewhere because you would want to be anywhere else but there.

And so it was a really bad.

So she did that.

At the same time, she's doing New Heart

and Remington Steel.

That was huge at the time.

Saint Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, New Heart, Remington Steel.

Bronson was Remington Steel.

Who else was there in television?

Really smart woman.

And how old was she?

80.

80.

It's a big one.

Certainly a huge star.

Do you remember those days?

I mean, like when she was born.

Do you remember when her great-grandfather was born?

Once you hit 80?

Yeah.

You get to that 81?

Yeah, just no looking back.

The

nice thing about it is Ed Asner's comment.

Oh,

you know, everybody was saying such nice things.

And Pat and I were fortunate enough this morning to be able to see some iconic stars who are still alive and still joining us here.

Carl Reiner.

Fool for one, Carl Reiner.

He's alive, and Mary Tyler Moore is gone.

Wow.

Kyl Reiner was brilliant.

Yeah, but who knew he was still alive?

If you just said Kyle Reiner, you'd go, oh, when did he die?

I knew he was alive.

I did.

Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

All right.

But he said, everybody was saying nice things about her, how great she was, Dick Van Dyke.

Everybody loved her.

And the clip that everyone was playing yesterday was from the Lou Grant show

where he was saying, you got spunk.

I don't like spunk.

Yeah, that was a Mary Tyler Moore show.

Do you have that clip?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what?

You got spunk.

Well, I hate spunk.

That was his comment: was that,

yeah, she had spunk.

And in this case, I like spunk.

Well, the reason why I like that is because

if he would have gone on and on and on and on about how much he loved her, she would have to be a communist, don't you think?

She'd have to be a communist.

One of those weird, really successful capitalist communists.

I never heard her speak out on politics at all.

I don't remember it either.

Although, obviously, Asner is quite generous in sharing his opinions.

And really, so is Dick Van Dyke.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

You don't want to hear her.

So she probably was.

I do.

She probably was.

She probably was.

She probably was.

Let's not concentrate on that.

Now this.

You know, I'm just thinking about the glass ceiling.

You look at Lucille Ball, Desi Lou, without Desi Arnaz, gave us some of the biggest shows of the 60s and early 70s, just off the top of my head.

I know Star Trek, Mission Impossible.

was part of that.

Huge, huge shows came out of the 60s and early 70s from Desi Lou Studios.

Then Mary Tyler Moore.

And before them, it was Mary Pickford

who started United Artists.

Wow.

I mean, that's pretty big.

Yeah,

women have

been, you know, at least in Hollywood, have been ruling the roost for a while.

And the difference is, is, you know, women were stars.

So women would go out and they would be actresses, which was at the beginning a very,

a really

shady thing for a woman or even a man to do.

If you were on stage, especially as a woman, you were not a woman of good repute.

So, but they got in and they did it because

they wanted to act.

They became big stars.

And look, they controlled.

They controlled a good portion of Hollywood for a very long time.

It's just that they were dedicating themselves to their jobs and not their families long before.

That didn't change for women.

You know, that changed for women in Hollywood, you know, in the 1910, 1920 era.

It didn't change for American women until really the 70s and kind of led by Mary Tyler Moore.

Back in just a minute.

The guy from Deadspin who has challenged Ted Cruz or any Ted Cruz supporter to a fight has received a

somebody who's going to pick him up.

The Glenbeck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Oh, I'm going to love this.

Okay, so you're going to love it as well.

Ashley Feinberg.

She's a writer for Dead Spin.

She was owned by Ted Cruz two times this week when she was making fun of Ted Cruz and his basketball skills.

And Ted Cruz tweeted back a picture of him or a guy who kind of looked like a young him

Duke basketball player

and just didn't say anything.

Just let it speak for itself.

He said, what do I win?

Yeah.

He said, what do I win?

Yeah.

Let's it speak for itself.

Well, then Tim Marchman.

Tim Marchman is the editor for Dead Spin.

He writes, amazing that low-testosterone Ted Cruz enthusiasts are comfortable haranguing Ashley Feinberg, but not me, Deadspin's actual editor.

Ted Cruz is a pathetic expletive.

His social media intern's joke was basic, and complaints should go to marchman at deadspin.com.

Unsurprising that not one Ted Cruz supporting cuck Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon.

Hundreds of dudes who can't do push-ups are tweeting at me, but literally not one has had the brass to send me an email.

Well, that's when Ted Kennedy, Tim Kennedy does it.

He writes, I'm your

real story.

That would have been a big story, yeah.

Wow, I mean, we should have led the show if Ted Kennedy tweeted this.

All right,

he says, I'm your Huckleberry.

I also take note that you are a pathetic cyber bully.

My email is Tim at rangerup.com.

Uh-oh, rangerup.com.

Uh-oh.

I am available at your leisure.

So,

Tim has said, anytime, any place, I will meet you.

So, I'm going to, we have Tim on the phone now.

Tim, how are you, sir?

I am spectacular.

Good morning.

So,

Tim, you are a Special Forces Ranger?

Yes, and yes.

Yes.

And you are an MMA fighter?

Yes, I am also a

professional MMA fighter for the past 20 years, and I think for the past 10, I've been ranked in the top 10.

And you're a Ted Cruz fan.

Yeah,

he's a fellow conservative from my home state of Texas.

And while we don't agree on all things, I've actually gone to bat for him a couple of times on social media.

So, yeah.

So, here's what I would like to do.

Because you're ready to

take,

what's his face up?

Yeah, whatever his face's name is.

Yeah, whatever name goes with that face, the editor of Deadspin, you're willing to take him up and fight him anytime, anywhere.

Yeah, I mean, first,

let's look at how pathetic it is that we got to this point where

a journalist that's an editor for a marginally successful online blog sphere goes and has to resort to violence, typical of kind of anybody that doesn't have aptitude to have a real rational logical argument discussion or have a sense of humor.

So now here we are talking about actually doing a fist fight.

And that was an escalation on his part after, I think, a kind of clever and witty response by Ted Cruz's intern.

I mean, it's just such a pathetic state that we're in that

the editor of Dead Spin is like going and saying profanity online and lobbying these unfounded accusations and saying really these ugly things just because he can't do anything else.

So here's what I would like to offer, Tim.

I would like to offer you and

the editor of Deadspin to come on in.

and have a real conversation.

And that's nice.

We could have a real conversation and you can discuss things and see if we can be civil.

Then beat the hell out of him.

And then I'm offering a $50,000 prize to the winner for their charity, charity of their choice.

Either the Blaze, I haven't asked the Blaze, but either The Blaze or Glenbeck.com will do pay-per-view.

Every dime will go to charity.

And the charity of whoever the winner is, their choice.

So

if he wants to give it all to Planned Parenthood, I guess he can because I'm going to put my money on Tim and Tim will win and be able to take it to whatever charity you would like to give it to.

Yeah,

I, of course, am fine with any of that.

The,

you know, the things have changed.

You know, I normally fight at 185 pounds in the middle weight, but right now I'm like 225 pounds working full-time as a special forces guy again, so as a green beret.

I mean, so I mean, that my charity would really love that generous contribution, and I appreciate that from, you know, from Tim for making that happen.

Yeah, of course.

I would love to,

you know,

at again, his convenience.

Okay.

So, what I would like all of the audience to do, and we'll reach out

this morning as a company to Deadspin, but I'd like everybody to tweet now that we have put a $50,000 prize for a charity of their choice, and we'll do pay-per-view.

That'll do at least another 50 grand.

And we'll do pay-per-view.

So it'll probably be about $100,000 prize.

Goes to the charity of their choice.

That's a great, great offer.

And I'd love to have a conversation first if we can have a civil conversation between the two of you.

And then if not, we'll just settle it, you know.

Step into the blaze, octagon.

Yes.

Civil conversation with a dead spin editor good luck with that one yeah well i figure it won't but let's see if he can grow up and actually have a conversation yeah and uh and then they can get into the octagon and

yeah

while i'm not while not hoping for violence you know having been in violent things my entire adult life um i think you're kind of being kind right now glenn um i'll think unnecessarily what happened was we had

a witty comical kind of satire response from ted cruise

And then a dude, a really a nobody, gets online and says a whole bunch of ugly things, cussing, throwing accusations, you know, insinuating all sorts of nastiness,

and then ultimately threatens people with violence.

And now we're saying, okay, let's go back to a civil conversation.

Let this be the embodiment of kind of who the adults are in this conversation.

Okay, we'll give him that out.

Okay, Tim, I would love, you know, for your rudeness yesterday to, you know, give you what you asked for but we all know that you don't want to do that oh no no wait wait wait wait wait wait wait no i'm not giving him the no the conversation is part of the deal if he wants to skip right to the beating he can but i i as a guy who's turned over a new leaf would love to have the conversation first Can we have the conversation later when he's writhing in pain?

Is that possible?

Or he has to just groan his way.

Maybe he beats Tim.

You don't know.

Oh, I mean,

he might beat Tim.

He's, he's also a fighter, is he not?

No, I don't, I don't, no, I think he's a fighter of

pointless causes and unfounded, with unfounded rational logic,

not an actual fighter.

Well, those sound like fighting words to me.

That sounds like something that he, at Deadspin, could not just let sit there on the on the counter and just go unanswered.

Don't you think, Stu?

Don't you think Pat?

No, I think his honor is at stake.

His honor is at stake.

His

He's got to step up now.

Hey, Tim.

I mean, I'm not a cosmopolitan.

I'm not a fellow statistician.

You know, I'm obviously

not as

capable of understanding the complex concepts of this thing that we have of our republic, which apparently he is the only person that understands.

And then, if anybody disagrees with him, he just says whatever he wants with no repercussions.

But I would be fine to have a conversation before or after

the contest.

Okay.

So we're offering a guaranteed $50,000.

The Blaze cameras will be there or the Glenbeck Mercury cameras will be there if the Blaze doesn't want to do it, but I'm sure they will.

We'll cover it.

It will make it an event.

We'll make it pay-per-view.

Every dime will go right to the charity.

So who knows how much you could make?

So I want everybody to tweet to Dead Spin today.

And what's his name again?

Tim Marchman.

Tim Marchman.

He says that

everything should be going to,

is it just Tim Marchman or is it because he said it should be going to what?

Yes, it should be going to twitter.com slash Tim Marchman

slash something or other.

I just got him right there.

I want to get it wrong.

Slash, hang on.

It's got to be just, I mean, it's got to be Twitter.

It's just got to be Tim Marchman.

Just do it, Tim.

Tim Marchman.

So do Tim Marchman and let him know that his charity could be very, very wealthy if he just wants to complete what he started with his mouth, if he'd just like to cash the check that his mouth just wrote.

Obviously, mine, you know, the nonprofit is going to go to a military law enforcement supporting charity.

That's where mine's going to go.

And, you know, I'm all matts yours, Glenn.

So that's coming from me tim kennedy as a person wow supporting this cause as well so wait wait wait wait you're i'm offering fifty thousand

you're offering fifty thousand as well yes yes i am oh my gosh holy cow that's a okay so there's a hundred thousand dollars and then with the pay-per-view it'd be a lot more pay-per-view yeah you could i mean we could make this into a big deal that we could there's a possibility of making this into a quarter of a million dollar fight uh and i'm sure planned parenthood would like some of that money mr marchman if you can get into the ring with tim and beat him uh you could make a lot of money i don't want to write a check to planned parenthood tim do you want to write a check to planned parenthood well i believe um women's issues are important and they're reproductive uh protection and right to contraceptives i'm not overly thrilled with the prospect of writing a check to planned parenthood yes thank you very much what a wow what a nice

A lover, not just a fighter.

Okay, Tim, thank you very much.

We'll be in touch, and

we'll see what Mr.

Marchman says.

Yeah, I'm not hard to find, unless you're ISIS and then it's a rough night.

Thanks a lot, Tim.

I appreciate it.

Thanks for your service, by the way.

You guys have won me over.

I think I'm going to donate some of my money to today.

Really?

Yeah, 50 cents.

50 cents.

50 cents.

So you couldn't even do 50,000.

You couldn't even do

$50.

That can't can't do that.

Right.

Percentage-wise, that would go a lot.

So I've done $50,000.

He's done $0.5,000.

$0.050.

I'm throwing that in.

$100,050.

$100,000.50, yeah.

And that's a large donation.

Are you guys going to step to the plate in this?

Well,

sure.

Do you think you could maybe match me?

I'll match Jeffy.

I will match Jeffy right now.

Well, I mean.

Don't go overboard here.

Don't go overboard.

With the

With the pay-per-view, this is going to be...

Oh, that's a good question.

You know, we should take calls.

If anybody wants to match that,

if anybody wants to come and not match his, but if anybody wants to come in,

anybody wants to come in.

And match $50,000.

You know what?

$1,000.

Anybody who wants to put their money...

Let's see how much money we could raise for charity.

Because I think with the pay-per-view, how many people do you think if we really promoted this,

we could get at least least a hundred thousand people, right?

I hope so, yeah.

Yeah, so we did a hundred thousand people and it was say it was even ten dollars.

I mean, you're making a lot of money.

Guaranteed a guy doesn't even show up.

You're gonna have to do it.

I know.

We should probably get the commitment first from Tim Marchman.

Should we?

No, but I'm not saying sell the deal.

I'm saying anybody wants to make a commitment, let's get that price.

The price money is already up to $100,000.

And a dollar.

And a dollar.

So $100,000 is not something to laugh at.

That's not just, I'm going to go prove, but that's $100,000 for charity.

I don't know.

I have no idea if Tim Marchman cares about donating money to charity.

He may.

Oh, no,

if this guy has

a single noodle in his bowl, this guy

wants me to write a check to Planned Parenthood.

Or something.

You know, the communists of America.

He wants me to write that check.

So I can't imagine

how he's going to turn that down unless he's afraid.

It's been a rough year for the good old Gawker media group, hasn't it?

It really has.

It hasn't gone well for loudmouths who

want to push people over the edge.

Well, it's funny because the Cruise thing, the part you left out of that is he tweeted the picture of the Duke basketball player with a funny message, and then they responded with eat S.

Yeah, which was very clever which was very clever however the last time they did that they did it to someone else when they complimented one of their stories and they responded with F you that person became president of the United States in November or just the other day actually and now this

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck program.

Okay, so

Tim Kennedy is coming out of retirement to fight the editor of Dead Spin.

And, you know, it might be nice to do, you know, a round of fighting, a round of talking.

A round of fighting, a round of talking.

Because I'm a lover, not a fighter.

And but he really wants to, he really wants to fight.

The

Marchman is a UFC fighter, right?

Can we find that out?

It looks like he is, yeah.

Okay, so let's find out a little bit about him, and

we'll pursue this just a little bit, and

I brought in John, the president of our company, to see what else we could sweeten the pot, how we can make this happen coming up next.

The Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Get a Casper mattress and get a great night's sleep.

Try it for 100 nights risk-free.

Go to Casper.com slash Glenn and use the promo code Glenn.

Get $50 towards the purchase of your mattress.

Terms and conditions do apply.

Donald Trump has spoken about what it's like to receive the nuclear codes.

That happened right before he took the oath of office.

He said it was very scary.

We'll tell you a little bit about that coming up in just a second.

Also,

last hour, we were talking about Mr.

Marchman, I may call him Mr.

Marchman,

from Deadspin.

He had challenged any Ted Cruz,

quote, cuck, that would,

you know, put their money where their mouth was and fight.

Well,

he was taken up by a Ranger, Tim Kennedy.

And Tim answered the call.

We haven't heard from Mr.

Marchman on Twitter since.

His offer was taken up by a former Ranger, now currently Green Beret Special Forces guy, who's also in MMA.

But We've decided to sweeten the deal.

We just had Tim on.

I said, I'll put $50,000 of prize money down for the charity of Mr.

Marchman's choice

if he happens to win.

Tim said, I'm going to put an extra $50,000 down in my name,

which he either has a ton of money laying around or he's quite confident that he's going to win.

We're going to see now the other things that we can do to maybe sweeten this

pot for Mr.

Marchman and make sure that he knows that we'd love to talk, but if he demands on a fight, he has one, and a place where you can watch it is available.

We begin there right now.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

We have John Schreiber in.

He is the president of Mercury Radio Arts, my company that is the parent company of the Blaze and everything else.

And I am in so much trouble financially that

I've offered $50,000 for this ridiculous fight.

Well, and then we went out of business.

Was it three months ago?

Yeah, we went out.

On that Friday?

Yeah, that Friday.

Yeah, right after they said we were going to so anyway uh john runs the uh company and and quite well and welcome to the program john how are you good

so the uh

were you listening when tim was on yeah i haven't even had my coffee yet yeah good good that wake you up right a little bit so fifty thousand dollars i've offered and then tim has offered another fifty thousand and if we do pay-per-view And we do it at the Blaze, I'm assuming the Blaze would be interested in this, but if not, Glennbeck.com,

We could cover it, do a really good job.

We'll even do, I think we have to have some pregame.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some coverage.

I mean, this could turn into quite an event.

We could charge what?

What do you think, 10 bucks?

Yeah, I think that maybe even more, depending on what the undercard is.

Right?

Is there additional fights, additional strange bedfellows who want to beat each other up for charity?

I don't, I see either this is my problem.

I don't want to be the one promoting violence here, John.

I can be the one promoting violence.

Right, right.

And so we could come up with something.

How much money do you think we could?

Well, since I've had all of seven minutes to do the projections,

I know.

I would be shocked if it couldn't be at least after costs because building an octagon and lots of cameras and

after costs, at least a million dollars would be a first step.

to charity, by the way.

To charity,

not to save our failing company.

Right.

Right.

Right.

I forgot about that.

We have to figure that out.

Yeah,

because

it's crazy.

It's horrible.

It's just so horrible.

A lot of people are demanding a Jeffy exotic dance as part of the undercard.

That might hurt the charity.

That I can't support.

Yeah.

I mean, I've already offered money.

Violence is one thing.

What more can I do?

Violence is one thing, but there are some things you just can't unsee.

Okay, so do you know anything about Dead Spin?

Stu, you are kind of up on him, right?

I mean, they're part of the Gawker, the Gawker world.

Obviously, everyone knows that Gawker flushed their multi-billion dollar business down the toilet, but to show Hulk Hogan having sex on the internet.

That was a good decision.

That was a good decision.

Good decision.

Good bet.

Good, good quality bet there.

And so they were spun off,

they closed Gawker down, spun off all the other ones that were sold to Univision.

I guess technically they were also to Univision and then Univision closed down Gawker.

Whatever.

The bottom line is they all have that sort of same attitude and they've had multiple fights with major media personalities or politicians.

This is what they do, right?

They certainly talk tough and let's see if they actually put up or shut up, right?

I mean, this is their opportunity to show how tough they are.

And again,

I think we should have a conversation

prior to, or at least in between,

it's hard to talk with a big fat lip and your teeth not.

Well, wouldn't that be part of the entertainment

to have a round of fighting and then,

let's come on over to the side and let's just talk.

Let's just talk about

cucks.

I'd hate to give Dead Spin a breather, though, once he starts getting his butt kicked.

It'd be a shame to.

Well, no, no.

I mean, he says he's a pretty big fighter, so.

You can always tap out.

Yeah.

That's the smart thing to do.

You could start ring, ring, tap out.

Pretend that there was someone in the room that didn't understand what ring, ring, tap out means.

Give up.

Essentially, you can give up.

That's how you fight.

You can give up?

Yeah, I mean, that's kind of how these fights end, right?

I'm not a big MMA guy.

Shut up.

It doesn't end with a knockout.

Well, not every time.

Someone's about to break your arm, you should have the option to say, I give, before it snaps.

If they're choking you and you can't breathe, a lot of times you'll be like, okay, I've had enough of that.

I'd like to breathe again.

And the ref can stop the fight if you're about to pass out and you're too tough to tap out.

I, on the other hand, would tap out before the bell rang.

I would, yeah, I'd tap out now.

I'm tapping.

Yeah, tapping.

Yeah, I'm already.

I'm not in.

But this guy's the tough guy.

You didn't project to be a tough guy.

This guy wrote a check with his mouth yesterday or with his Twitter feed.

And, you know, you don't write those checks unless you're prepared to cash them isn't this not to make this so philosophical the problem we're dealing with that behind a keyboard yes you're taking any you can be anyone you want you can slam people on facebook yep and real life never in the middle that's why i mean that's why i think we this this is the way this should be handled if that's the tough if you're the tough guy okay then let's just do it for charity Let's just do it for charity.

That way somebody wins and you get out your aggression and you can be the tough guy.

Let's just start.

I can't imagine that there isn't a lot of people out there that would like to see an editor of some press organization punched in the mouth repeatedly.

Can't imagine there's a call for that.

Including him.

I mean, he seems to be, he wants to be in a fight, right?

So

that's part of it.

You know, I mean, it's good.

He is, I'm getting a lot of emails from people saying that

people are emailing him and he's saying he's now unavailable through January 29th.

2020?

I'm sure Tim can wait until January 29th.

Can we call, can we get one of our producers on the phone to Deadspin headquarters, wherever that warehouse is, and

see why he's unavailable?

Is he suddenly on vacation?

It says unavailable through January 29th, and it's the 26th today.

Yeah, I mean, the 29th is Sunday.

So he's off for the rest of the week.

Could be easily on vacation.

Odd timing, obviously, after his last tweet, which was specifically calling all these people out.

What time of day was that?

When he sent his tweets, and then all of a sudden he has an autoresponder.

Right.

Seems weird.

Yeah, it does.

Well, you would have to.

I mean, it's not like you have to bring the big Twitter machine with you wherever you are, you know.

Right.

You might be, you might.

Yeah, there's no access to Twitter.

Yeah, no individual.

He can go on vacation.

No, and in his position, he has somebody who brings the Twitter machine with him.

And the sad thing is he probably has multiple $100,000 offers to appear at different establishments.

So this is probably going to get lost in his email box, I'm sure,

because he's got so much going on.

I mean, I can't imagine somebody doesn't want $100,000 for some radical group that he would like to fund.

Is it possible that he's actually a part of an underground fight club and he's setting us up, knowing that we're going to be suckers by making this offer?

And now he's just trying to raise the money for his charity?

I don't think.

Oh, no,

keep assuming this guy cares about charity.

Is there any evidence of this?

No, we should offer him just the money.

You can have it.

That's a bad idea.

Yeah, but you can just have it.

You can do whatever you want with it.

That way, we don't.

We will give our side to charity.

I'm just saying.

You can take the $100,000

if he'd like to do that.

I'm just saying that, you know,

there's got to be something that would make him want to write that, you know, do this more than just the $100,000.

Pride?

Well, pride is one.

but also you know all of his liberal friends that know him and know what a great fighter he is have got to be like you could take this guy man you you making glenn beck you're taking glenn beck's money and giving it to a planned parenthood you know that's got to be that's got to be a dream come true for so many people on the left

And there's got to be a lot of people on the left that also would love to put, you know, $100,000 into the pot or $50,000 or $20,000, $10,000 in the pot because they know that this guy, he can cash that check.

He can go out and

wipe the floor with Tim.

I would think there's a lot of people on the left who also might want him to get his butt whooped to maybe consider adding some civility to the dialogue.

I would agree with that.

And then maybe, maybe

we can give the charity to something that that we all pretty much agree on, like let's take care of our vets.

That's why there's no downside, right?

I mean, you know, most people are going to be fine with a veterans charity.

Even many people on the left would be fine with it.

So unfortunately, they're not getting any punishment other than the punishment he'll receive in the ring, which I think will be sufficient.

I think the punishment of him being silent on Twitter,

don't necessarily write him.

Make sure you're Make sure you're tweeting this out.

Well, his last tweet was like, everyone's tweeting me.

No one will send me an email.

Well, send him an email, Ben.

Okay, well, it's out of, you know, send him an email.

But also,

I would recommend because he's

away from that.

And I'm sure he's got the Twitter machine with him strapped to his back or somebody's carrying it for him.

So make sure you tweet this out so he sees that

there's real money.

There's $100,000 minimum at stake.

Now, Jeffy will do a lot of things for the show, and he has over the years.

There's no doubt about it.

But I think this one, while it would get a lot of attention, is probably going a little too far.

A suggestion from James, a good undercard match would be Jeffy versus a salad.

Now, I think that's too far.

I don't think he'd do that, but I think people would watch it.

No, it requires him eating.

It requires him eating.

Yeah, it would be the.

But he might lose, too.

Yeah,

you still have to see him eat.

Again, there are things you can't unsee.

I don't know.

This would be a good solid undercard.

Can he get through a normal person's salad no what does he have to eat it in rounds or does he have to go all in one i think they're timed rounds yeah do you drink water during or is that a salad man can take me out of the ring glenn the octagon is mine

and no you cannot have like cheeseburgers in between rounds you have to actually go straight the only thing you can eat is the salad i think this is good Is there perhaps a place that we can build an octagon?

I mean, I don't know what it takes.

Do we do it here?

Is there a building that we work in that has space?

You gotta have places you can go everywhere.

Yeah, I think it's probably easier to go to a training center.

We have some people on the crew who have shot sporting events, so we just have to figure out how to shoot it well.

So, you know, we got really up close and

lots of jibs going on.

Yeah, well, the good thing is, is that our cameramen, a lot of our cameramen do, like, you know, the All-Star Games, the World Series, Super Bowl.

A lot of our guys are kind of, we're on the third third string whenever there's a big,

when there's a big event.

A big

sporting event.

I have a feeling it's not going to come to that.

But if it does, like, yeah, go ahead.

I have faith in him.

I have faith in the credibility of this editor from Dead Spin.

I think he meant it.

Maybe he was drunk.

Well, I was drunk a lot, but I usually said things that I was more honest about when I was drunk.

So I'm going to take him at his word, even if he was drunk.

Dude,

do you have his email address again?

Just so people can.

I can get that for you here in a moment.

Yeah.

A lot of people are definitely emailing him.

And you want to tweet to, what's his name?

Tim Marchman.

Tim Marchman.

So

his last couple tweets here, in case you are missing the, you missed the beginning of the story.

He says, unsurprising that not one Ted Cruz supporting cuck Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon.

That was, of course, responded by Tim Kennedy, who seemingly not only is

an accomplished military veteran, also UFC or MMA fighter, but also is on the show hunting Hitler, which how the hell did we have him on the air and not talk about that?

I have a feeling we'll have him on the air again.

Good.

Then Tim Marchman tweets, hundreds of dudes who can't do a push-up are tweeting at me, but literally not even one has had the brass to send me an email.

There's been a lot of people who have sent him an email, but really one I'm focusing on, which is Tim Kennedy.

Yeah, that'll be nice.

So here's the thing.

So just you can tweet at Tim Marchman

and make sure that he knows that there's a minimum of $100,000, $50,000 for me.

When I gave that, Tim said, I'm going to do another $50,000, and we'll give them the profits to,

we'll do the pay-per-view.

And every dime of profit

will go to the charity of the winner's choice.

And actually, if you need a hashtag to promote this, maybe we can have people call up and suggest some fun hashtags for this particular event to get it going.

Yeah, 888-727-BECK.

888-727-BECK.

John, thanks a lot.

Appreciate it.

We're in the fight business today, I guess.

And I'm a lover.

I just don't like it.

And now this.

Yesterday, we discussed tax identity theft.

Today, medical identity theft.

This occurs when a thief steals your personal information to obtain medical care to buy drugs or submit fake billings to Medicare in your name.

Now, America is facing the fastest growing crime, which is identity theft.

And you don't have to worry about it if you're prepared with LifeLock.

They scan hundreds of millions of transactions every second.

If they detect your information being used, they'll send you an alert.

The Glenn Bank Program 888-727-BEC.

Welcome to the program.

Glad you're here.

Yesterday, you know, for the last few days, Dead Spin has been going after the honor and integrity of Ted Cruz and

anybody who supports Ted Cruz.

And

they've tweeted out that, you know, these jokes about Ted Cruz being a basketball player and, you know, he's never played basketball a day in his life, blah, blah, blah.

We'll pay, you know, hundreds of dollars for anybody who has a picture of him in gym shorts and on the basketball court.

So, somebody in Ted's office just tweeted out a picture of one of the Duke basketball players that kind of looked like him

and said, You know, do I get the money?

And,

you know, that's funny, and just now it's over.

Not to deadspin.

They

tweet back, Eat S, and it spirals.

And

then last night, the editor of Deadspin said, you know, all these people, nobody has the guts to email me and actually fight me because

I'm a MMA guy.

Okay, whatever.

So last night, Tim Kennedy, a friend of Dana's and ours and everybody else.

here at the network tweeted and said,

I'll take you up on that.

So

I got Tim on the phone this morning, and I offered a $50,000 prize.

Tim said, I'll throw in another $50,000 myself.

So it's $100,000 prize to the winner now.

And we've also offered that we are going to cover it for pay-per-view, and all of the profits will go to.

the charity of the winner's choice.

So we, I mean, we could easily make a million dollars on this.

Not us make, a charity could easily make a million dollars on this, easily.

And we just went into the break.

Wade was saying,

you've done MMA fighting before, cameraman.

So Wade's

actually shot MMA.

Yeah.

So

we've got some real connections.

There's experience.

There's red will.

What a great opportunity.

There's the ability.

This guy.

I mean, you know, he's not a big-time MMA fighter.

He gets an opportunity to take on a real seller.

It's like being able to, it's like fantasy camp for, For, you know, if you like baseball, you go and you play against real major league players.

Amen.

This is what a great opportunity.

I mean, this isn't great.

I'm sure he's going to accept.

And a way to say to the world, let's solve not with this.

Let's solve with

ideas.

Meet me on the battlefield of ideas

or in the octagon.

It's your choice.

The Glenbeck program.

Mercury.

This is the Glenbeck program.

Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at Glenn Beck.com.

We're desperately trying to put together this

Deadspin fight with

a weenie that is a cruise supporter,

Tim Kennedy.

Almost a nobody.

Just

Army Ranger, Green Beret, MMA fighter with top 10 in the world.

18 and 4 record.

But other than that, we don't even know who this guy is.

That's nothing.

Against the editor of Deadspin, who last night

said, you know, no Ted Cruz person's willing to take me on.

They can't even do a push-up.

Yeah, well, he can, and he's taken you on.

And we're offering, I've offered $50,000 to write a check to the winner.

And

Tim said he'd write a check for $50,000.

And you go to charity

if that's what you would like to do.

I know Tim would like it to go to charity.

If

Tim would win, then it would go to a veterans organization.

We've offered to broadcast it.

And as we're in the breaks, we're finding out even more.

I mean,

we have all of the skill in-house to be able to

put this thing together.

We'll do it even at a venue here.

What's the name of that place, Wade?

Bomb Factory.

The Bomb Factory here in Dallas that does MMA fighting.

And

it's nice.

They have the octagon right there.

About 5,000 people could come.

The proceeds, all the profits of

everything

will go to the charitable cause.

I mean, we could raise easy a million dollars, I think.

And we just need a hashtag for it.

Stu's been watching Twitter.

Jeffy's been watching the feed.

Let's go to the phones.

I guess we go to Dave in North Carolina.

We take him first.

Hello, Dave.

Welcome to the program.

Hey, Glenn, I just wanted to say, man, I'm a better American just by listening to your show.

I'm a big fan, huge fan.

Thank you.

You know, and since this is in defense of Ted Cruz, pretty much, you know, I feel that maybe your event should probably be called the Cruising for a Bruising Liberal SmackDown.

Well, it might not be a, I like Cruising for a Bruising Liberal SmackDown.

It might be a,

you know we don't know this uh editor of dead skin he might be very very good so

cruising for a bruising still works yeah it does cruising for a bruising hashtag i like that thank you very much zach in arizona go ahead you're on the glimmick program just letting you know i'm a college student here in arizona so now i'll call student pace yeah i'm for you um my idea was um

my idea was um hashtag fight for liberty fight for liberty okay Fight for liberty.

All right.

Thank you very much.

You have some online?

Yeah, there's a

few good ones.

With the fight again with the MMA fighter and the Dead Spin editor,

hashtag headspin.

Hashtag DeathSpin, which is a little...

I like this one.

Hashtag, because his name is, what is it, Tim Marchman?

Hashtag Marchman up.

That's pretty solid.

There's a lot of good ones.

They're all flowing in.

At World of Stew, by the way, if you want to submit some.

All right.

Let's go to Brian in Texas.

Hello, Brian.

Hey, guys.

How's it going?

Y'all psyched up on this fight and talk with these liberals.

Hey, I just wanted to volunteer to fight on the undercard ticket.

And I'm willing to take on Ashley Judd and McDonald either one at a time or both at the same time.

All right.

That sounds like a dream come true to a lot of people.

Thank you very much.

Sorry, we did need to cut you off.

Yeah, we're not offering other people that you can beat up.

This is not.

And I'm doing this really against my better judgment, the peacemaker in me.

Here it comes.

Here it comes.

I would like to

get, I'd really like to get Tim Marchman in between rounds that he insisted on.

I remember, I didn't suggest a fight.

He did.

That's true.

Tim didn't suggest a fight.

He did.

So Tim is going to help him get past his need for fighting.

And I think in between the rounds, I could start a very nice, let's try to meet me on the battlefield of ideas.

Let's talk about your liberal ideas.

And let me get to know you.

Let me hear you out.

What is it you're really saying?

What are you crying out for, Tim Marchman?

We want people to get punched, Glenn.

We don't want to hear your bladder.

Well, I know, but wouldn't it be nice to hear him in between rounds?

It really wouldn't.

It really wouldn't.

On what he really believes and who he really is.

No.

Between rounds, you think there's more than one?

Right.

Oh, no.

I take Tim Marchman would never have said that unless he was a serious

man.

You guys are mocking him.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no.

You guys are so sure that he's going to win.

I'm not so sure.

I'm not so sure.

I think I'm, you know.

Well, again, he was.

I'm putting $50,000 up, and who knows?

Is it going to go to the editor of Dead Spin or to, you know, the the the Green Beret former Ranger?

I don't know you just you don't know I don't know you don't know so I mean stranger things have happened.

We don't know how good of a fighter Tim Marchman from Dead Spin is we don't know how good of a typist Tim Kennedy is so I mean they both have their skills who who will

come out on top exactly.

We don't know.

Let's go to John in Indiana

Hello John.

Or is this Dave in Indiana?

Hello Dave.

Yes, it's Dave.

Yes.

You know, there's a little controversy on who's going to pay for the wall, Gwen.

Yeah.

I think Donald Trump and the president of Mexico, they could be the opening act for the fight.

Whoever wins pays for the wall.

All right.

And that would probably go worldwide on paid for views.

Yes, I sure would.

Yes, I have a feeling

that we could make

a decent amount of change on that.

Thank you very much, Dave.

John in Indiana.

Hello, you're on the Glenbeck program.

This is

an opportunity that I wouldn't want you to squander.

I think you need to step the performance up a little bit on this.

Think in terms of Thunderdome.

Big geodesic dome, put these guys in bungee harnesses.

All the weird weapons on the wall would each have the requirement that before they use the weapon, there will be an intellectual exchange.

So not only are they having to physically fight, but they also have to talk at each other and argue a point.

I don't know about the weapons and the bungee cords, but I do, again,

we should encourage talking, not fighting.

And

I don't know if we could get Tim Muscleman

to go with that.

I'm not sure that he would.

It's a better name, actually,

for this particular use.

Not sure he would go for that.

Hashtag common ground Beatdown, which is, again, recommending your nice

little

Common Ground Beatdown.

I like that.

Let's see.

Hashtag put up or shut up.

I like Marchman Madness.

Like that.

Like that.

It is really good.

Marchman Madness.

This one is more of a Jeffy title, and I'm certain I don't want to go with it.

Tim on Tim Action.

That's a who the hell is suggesting Tim on Tim Action?

No.

Vetoed!

I don't know, vetoed Tim on the action.

Sounds worth worth a watch.

Somebody tweeted that they wanted to see Jeffy as the card, you know, the card lady.

Yes, people want Jeffy to be the one in the middle of the rounds that would walk around, maybe in a scantily clad, perhaps.

Nobody is going to do that.

Nobody's going to pay for that.

I thought we were trying to sell this on paper.

Yeah.

I mean, you're going to do that, and I don't mean this as a slam on intellect.

I just, you know, people would pay for that.

That's, Tommy should do that.

Because

it would raise a lot of money if Tommy was doing that.

Yes, I think.

I don't know that she would be interested in that particular proposal.

I doubt she would be.

But to raise money for charity, she's a big military charity supporter, so it's possible, I suppose.

Yes.

But yeah, Jeffy, I think, would do it.

I mean, he's available.

I mean,

I'd want your blessing.

It hurts you didn't, you know, right off the bat.

No, we're not going to give you the blessing on that one.

No, it would, it does include walking, though, around in a circle, Jeffy.

So it may be a little bit more like he could be scantily clad in one of those things that people, you know, those little scooter things.

Right.

Hold out the card in a little scooter.

That would be great.

Lift it into the ring each time.

That would be good.

I like that.

Yeah.

What if we do it if we just have

if we make Jeffy the in-between round girl,

then I think that would motivate Tim Kennedy to end this quickly, maybe put Mr.

Marchman out of his misery.

There's only one.

Seriously, wonder if we could get somebody like Ted Cruz

and maybe Mike Lee to do a constitutional off, you know, where they're just fighting the principles of the Constitution.

I thought we were trying to get viewers here.

Yeah, okay, all right.

It's not exactly a.

Although I would say I wouldn't mind, maybe Ted Cruz will referee since he is really the one in the middle of this.

Maybe he'll come in and do a little bit of a double-shaped.

No, but he would be.

Referee would not be a place for him.

That wouldn't be fair.

He's obviously chosen a side.

He doesn't.

That's true.

Maybe he could do the co-commentary, the color commentary with Daniel.

Maybe as

a pre-show, he could play a game of horse.

Then Deadspin viewers would get what they wanted, too.

Right.

Which apparently they're obsessed with Ted Cruz's basketball skills.

I don't know why.

I don't know why.

Although, I will say, watching Barack Obama go for two for 22 a couple of years ago was quite enjoyable for our audience.

Yes, it was.

In retrospect, I take that.

Again, something that the left probably doesn't even know.

And then you went six for 22.

I went six for 22.

Barack Obama, me,

let's just put that again.

Glenn Beck went six for 22.

Obama went two for 22.

And yet he apparently has skills.

Let's not forget, I went six for 22 with meat miss mitts on my hands.

Yes.

Meat mitts.

Yeah, in case you don't know.

Meat out of meat mitz.

Yes.

Steaks.

Cut open.

Put your hands in the middle of the steaks like Mitts.

He could still get six out of 22.

We re-watched that show recently as part of Patton's Dew as we were reviewing the Obama administration.

And that was a weird show.

It was a very weird show.

I will tell you that my son still calls Pat Uncle Meat Mitts.

He still says Meat Mitz.

Get Uncle Meat Mitz to help you on that one.

That was a classic.

It was.

So another one, another piece that the media just will refuse to report that Obama did two out of 22.

I got sick.

So they continue to try to make it like he's some amazing athlete or something.

And he's not.

He's terrible and whatever else.

It's kind of like the Trump thing with how many people came to the inauguration.

It doesn't matter.

Right.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that you're trying to make him something he isn't.

Right.

That's what bothers us.

Yeah.

It doesn't matter that he can't play basketball.

Oh,

big deal.

Right.

Now this.

Headline, Washington State.

Three arrested in a high-end burglary ring.

Police say the three burglars are thought to be responsible for 123 burglars with losses totaling $3 million.

How did they do it?

According to police, the burglars would case homes in high-end neighborhoods.

They'd break a rear window or a sliding door with a rock, then go in and steal the jewelry and the purses, the cash and the firearms.

$3 million.

This is a really scary.

I thought I'd make that a little scarier.

to the Glenn Beck program.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.

How do we get on that topic?

We're just talking about Andy Kaufman and how weird Andy Kaufman was.

Maybe because what we're watching now is just this weird play that you don't know is real or not.

That's how it started because this Tim Marchman is.

I guess this deadspin editor made it sound kind of like he was a UFC guy.

He's not.

He's not a UFC fighter that I can see.

I thought I could find it.

I saw where he wrote about it.

He might write about it or something, but he doesn't, I don't think he's a UFC fighter.

So you're wondering,

this is how we got there because what if Tim Kennedy really beats the crap out of him and hurts him?

And then it led to

Andy Kaufman, remembering Andy Kaufman being a little bit more.

Why was it that Andy Kaufman was the Jerry Lawler?

Yeah.

Which he wasn't really hurt.

Yeah.

And we started talking about Andy Kaufman in that weird period in his life.

What was the guy's name, Stu?

You remember he played like that, like that Don Rickles character that was just this mean.

God, yeah.

God.

I was obsessed with this story for a while.

Oh my gosh.

It was so bizarre.

His alter ego.

His alter ego.

He would go and show up for events that Andy Kaufman was scheduled for in a different, like dressed up in all costume, and it was really Andy Kaufman.

And he would just berate the audience and piss them off.

And they'd all walk out.

Tony Clifton.

Tony Kaufman.

Tony Clifton.

And if I remember right, it's one of the reasons why he left Taxi.

And everybody on Taxi hated him because he said, I'm not going to be available next week.

You have to hire Tony Clifton.

Yep.

And so ABC or whoever was producing it, they were like, okay,

they all knew.

They all knew.

You know, Andy, why don't you tell Tony?

He's like, no, I don't have his number.

You're going to have to call him.

And so they would hang up and call back, and

Andy would answer his Tony.

And he's like, I don't know if I can do this.

And he'd make them work hard to negotiate and make it happen.

And then he showed up, I think, one week on set and just disrupted everything.

Oh, yeah.

Everybody hated Andy for it.

Everybody hated him.

And he would, you know, he just lived to see people's reactions to him acting bizarrely.

But I mean, it's still to this day, you know,

one of the best performances in the last 15, 20 years is Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman.

Yes, man of the movie.

Yes.

He was

unbelievable.

Jim Carrey is a remarkable actor.

I will agree.

He is.

I will tell you, though, that watching Andy Kaufman was, I don't like uncomfortable situations, and all he did were

uncomfortable situations.

So I couldn't stand watching the guy.

He's one of those.

It was so weird to, I couldn't figure out, why are you doing this?

It's not funny.

It's just awkward and weird.

And that's what he liked.

He liked it.

Yeah.

I mean, and he's one of those guys that actually basically ruined his life for his art.

Yeah, and there's something very charming about that when you when you're like you're willing to sell out that hard.

This is charming.

I think it is.

It is.

Look at you.

I mean Jeffy's done the same thing.

Yeah, he doesn't want to eat.

He does this for the show and it's really done the same thing.

I mean that's just a cheap shot.

I mean

are you calling him fat?

Yes.

It wasn't

another thing from the greeting card, people.

Welcome to to it.

There's a couple of things that we want to tell you about here.

Wall construction is going to begin within months, according to Donald Trump, and Mexico is going to pay us back.

President Vicente Fox said to Trump,

we're not going to pay for the wall, and

we can live without NAFTA, but you can't.

Also, the DNC chair has said that it is their job to tell white people when to shut their mouths.

When will the Democrats step over the line for the average Democrat?

When will that happen?

Also,

an amazing story on the science of abortion.

You're not going to believe what the left is now saying

about ultrasounds.

You know what?

Let's begin there right now.

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

Cause we are one.

I will be my drum.

I have made my choice.

We will overcome.

Cause we are one.

The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

This is the Glenn Beck

program.

How the ultrasound has pushed the idea that a fetus is a person.

That's crazy.

Because you don't know that's a person.

You don't know.

Just because we now have a picture of it and we can see the heartbeat and hear it.

Yeah, it could look like anything.

Technology has been used to create imaginary heartbeats and sped up videos that falsely depict a response to stimulus.

This is absolutely, you want to talk about false news and fake news?

This is fake news.

Yeah.

And if the right, or I'm sorry, if the left doesn't take this on and expose and call this fake news, I have to write this down.

I think I'm on the BBC today, and I think one of the things they want to talk to me about is fake news.

And I think I have to bring this up.

This is, if you won't condemn the Atlantic for spreading fake news, you have no credibility.

What part of this is fake news?

That technology has been used to create an imaginary heartbeat and sped up videos falsely depict a response to stimulus?

That's good examples.

Those are good examples of how it's fake news.

Ultrasound made it possible for the male doctor to evaluate the fetus without female interference.

Now, I have news for you.

The doctors that my daughter has, my wife has they're females yeah do they use ultrasounds yes they do okay wow no ultrasounds are the tool of the patriarchy

that's uh are female doctors banned uh from or incapable of doing an ultrasound on a pregnant mother what about x-rays mris or cat scans are those marvels of modern technology that have helped to diagnose and cure countless diseases and physical maladies since their inception or are they evil technologies that merely enable peeping man doctors to cast their eyes into the inner recesses of a woman's body

like it's some perverted interest

nothing sexier than a womb with a fetus in it that's wow yeah you're getting some perverse pleasure out of that that is a weird thing i've noticed it a couple days i mentioned this example yesterday of some facebook battle that had gone on uh with my wife and that they were calling they're like i don't want some pervy old white congressman telling me what to do with my body what does pervy have to do with it i mean i i really want to know what white has to do with it.

I guess color of your skin helps you make your abortion position decisions.

But what is Purvy?

Like the idea that

they have a position on the birth of children is Pervy?

I mean, I got news for you.

That's not a...

Going to a birth is not like something.

The male gynecologist is only doing it because he gets his thrills.

That's

absurd.

Really sick and twisted.

There is a great, there's a scene.

I think it'd be It's the exact opposite, man.

You ever seen that?

Have you ever seen the T oh, can you imagine?

It's got to turn you off from the other, you know, potentially, like how a normal guy would think about those areas.

It has to be almost the reverse if you're a gynecologist.

Like, you'd almost think you'd completely lose interest in the business.

Can I tell you something?

There's things that, there's things today that I just won't eat because I grew up around them in the bakery.

And it's just like, oh, if I see one more of these or smell one more of these,

I mean, hello

there's a great scene and Jeffy you're probably the only one who's ever watched fleabag on Netflix have you seen fleabag fleabag it's a PGC show

have you seen it on your recommendation I have it in my queue but I haven't watched it yet there is a scene like five episodes in where she goes to a gynecologist and she's very very nervous

and so she and her it's her sister's gynecologist and so she makes some awkward comment about comparing the two you know know, and and

the doctor has this the greatest response ever.

He just looks at her and he says,

I save women from cancer.

If you want to make this into some sexual, I mean, he just reads her the riot act.

And here they are calling, you know, male gynecologists pervies.

What is the fetal heartbeat?

It's a simple question with even a simpler answer for those who are not desperately trying to rationalize the killing of a healthy unborn baby.

By the way,

this is the response

to that salon automobile.

Yeah, federalist, I believe.

But for abortion activists desperate to rationalize the killing, it becomes a tortured exercise in metaphysics, which of course is why the author then scare quotes life after struggling mightily to understand what a heartbeat is.

And then, I'm not joking, asking why the presence of a heartbeat should even matter.

Why does the existence of a heartbeat matter?

It's a real puzzle, I'll tell you.

The fact of the matter is that abortion advocates, activists, know what they're doing, and they're voluntarily choosing to end a precious and distinct human life.

After all, if that unborn baby girl weren't alive, the abortionist wouldn't be so hell-bent on killing her.

And if the heart weren't beating, the abortionist wouldn't have to try so hard to make it stop.

The origins of fetal ultrasound lie in stealth warfare.

That's what the article says.

Before ultrasound, medical care received by pregnant women had depended on their own testimony or how they describe their own sensations.

They have to eliminate the ultrasound because ultrasounds

are reducing abortions.

Like in Texas, before you receive the abortion, they ask you to, well, they tell you you need to see an ultrasound.

Because they want you to understand what it is you're doing.

Before the ultrasound was really, now you can have the pictures where you can really see the baby.

Before that was even happening, I remember saying, abortion will stop the minute you could see into the womb.

If you had a window into the womb.

And over 90% of women, once they see

the ultrasound, they decide not to.

Now, it's their decision once they've seen it.

But, you know, if they can eliminate the ultrasound and make that a really bad thing and they're sure trying.

Think of what they're doing.

First of all, here is, who is this?

Is this Salon?

Did I say it was Salon?

It's the Atlantic.

Atlantic.

For the Atlantic to write this, they are printing fake news.

For the Atlantic to ever come to somebody who has questions about the theory of evolution or the theory of global warming

and call them science deniers,

I would like to point out this article.

You are not only denying the science of a heartbeat and what a heartbeat is, you're also

trying to discredit the ultrasound, which has saved so many people's lives.

Without an ultrasound, we're back to exploratory surgery.

I mean, and it's not just this science they're denying.

They're denying actual gender, what makes a man a man, and what makes a woman a woman.

All of that science is being denied as well now.

It's crazy.

The left are the science deniers right now.

There is a, and look, I think the ultrasound is a big part of this, but the abortion rate is lower than it's been since Roe versus Wade.

It's the lowest it's been since Roe versus Wade as far as the rate, which is a positive, although I'm not going to stand here and actually, I'm not going to be excited about it because, you know, about a million babies that should have been born weren't.

So that's not like, it's not good news.

However, it is lower rate-wise than it was even when

since 1973.

Probably because of the ultrasound.

If they're taking on the ultrasound, that is what

abortion opponents should be protesting for right now to get in your state, the law where I believe it is in Texas, right?

Yes.

You have to have an ultrasound before you have an abortion.

And that's what they call so intrusive.

Yeah.

You make me have something in my body.

Well,

we're going to put a gel on your stomach.

On your stomach, and then we're going to just rub that on her.

A little bit.

Right.

But they try to make there's extreme cases where theoretically they could use a different type, which is more invasive.

But I mean, I think the logical thing is don't use that type.

Right.

You know, you know, the gel in the stomach is probably,

you know,

Patrick has said

they're science deniers.

You know, look at what is happening.

It is really, truly amazing to me that the left

doesn't understand

especially

scholars today

they don't understand that they have become the church

you know they're

the like the 15th 1500s yes right they become the church of the 1500s where you had to lock people up you had to shout them down in the town square you had to chase them away No freedom person has ever chased people away.

Real freedom lovers do not chase people away.

They're not afraid of it.

I don't, look, I think one of the most damaging things to ever happen to mankind is communism.

If I were king of the world, I would not ban communism.

I would not ban the Communist Party.

I would not ban people from reading Marx.

I would encourage people to do that, but then have a conversation of all sides.

I'm confident that my side is strong enough.

And if my side isn't strong enough, then I'm on the wrong side because I'm on the side of truth.

Anytime somebody tries to shut you down,

they're wrong.

They're wrong.

What's incredible to me is how many people don't recognize that they are,

that they are, they have become everything they despise.

The reason why we have tenure is so no one can talk about science or history or anything else in a way that upsets people because the whole idea of learning is to ask tough questions and to challenge everything.

But the church of EDU

has now gone and grabbed our children and held them in place and said, no questions.

You will not question.

And now they're actually denying the science of

things like

ultrasounds.

Heartbeats.

Heartbeats.

That

you say is a person.

They were saying that's just a lump of flesh.

Well, a lump of flesh doesn't have a heartbeat.

So now they have to deny the existence of a heartbeat.

It's incredible.

And of course, no person in America cares about you removing a lump of flesh.

There's no argument.

There's no side of that argument.

We will, no, not that we don't care.

We do care.

If you have a tumor,

we want to make sure you get the care to take that tumor out.

There's no opposition.

That's just tissue.

Yeah.

That's fine.

Take that out.

And again, there also would be absolutely no opposition to Planned Parenthood if they stopped doing abortions.

If all they did was cancer screenings and even birth control, there would be almost exclusively no opposition for them because no one cares about those.

Those other things

can be fine.

There's 100,000 organizations that do all the things that Planned Parenthood brags about.

Except they do it without abortions, so no one knows their names.

They're not in the debate because no one is opposing them.

People like when you do cancer screenings.

People like when you do,

they're fine with you giving out free condoms, even

largely.

The idea that there's any opposition to those groups, there isn't, because what they oppose is you not doing what you want to do with your own body, but doing what you want to do with that other body inside of you.

And that is the issue.

We want people to be alive.

And, you know, it's like, it's like we keep talking about this.

They're like, oh, well, you just don't want women to have choices.

Well, we want women to have choices.

And you know what?

They can't have choices when they're not alive.

They can't.

If we went into every lion

and we went in and we aborted

every

baby lion inside the mother, you imagine what the left would say?

Oh, my God.

And what would the point be?

You're hurting the species because the species won't be able to reproduce fast enough to keep up, and you're going to make that species extinct.

Now they'll say, Well, the lion didn't have a choice.

But would that be the only argument?

Would that be the argument that you're doing that against the animal?

Or would it be, would they be showing pictures of all of these little baby lions?

If I did this to puppies because I didn't want to have any more puppy dogs, and so I went in and I cut up little teeny puppy dogs right before birth, or I drowned the puppy dogs or injected them with some fluid as they were being born.

Do you think the left would have pictures of the puppy dog parts or the little puppy dogs that were killed as they were being born?

Of course they would.

There was some scandal that was I was watching some news report on the other day in which some movie that featured a dog.

Yes.

The dog was, it's a scene, I guess, when they're in rough waters and they were trying to pull the dog out.

It was like a slightly rough treatment of the dog is what I I saw in video.

I don't know what the entire story was, but even that was completely flipping them out.

We just closed the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus after 166 years because they didn't like elephants walking down the street.

Okay, now this.

Economists in Davos are raving about the experiment in India.

And the experiment was in 2014, India removed high-denomination banknotes in its move to move towards a digital economy.

They just did more of this, took it all the way down to what we would say would be a $7 bill, to $7.

You cannot buy anything over $7 in cash now in India.

Everything over $7

has to be digitized.

Well, they put this in.

Price of gold shot through the roof, doubled the price of gold in India.

People went crazy.

Now they're moving to a digital economy, but that's crazy.

That won't happen here.

Of course that will happen here.

Of course that will happen.

And when that happens, when everything is digitized,

you will do whatever the bank says and you will do whatever the government says because they have control and can track and have total control of your money.

Total control.

You have nothing else worth any value.

May I beg you to do your own homework and read the important risk information and find out if gold or silver is right for you.

This is not a conspiracy theory.

This is happening.

It's happening in India.

It's happening in Australia.

Just recently in Australia.

You're listening to the Glenn.

This is fantastic news.

This

may make me a fan of Donald Trump.

And I mean that sincerely.

This, anybody who said they wanted to blow up the system, I do not agree with blowing up the system.

However, If this is what you meant by blowing up the system, I do agree with this, and I'm a big fan of this.

Well, he didn't do, I mean, he didn't necessarily do anything because of him.

It's because of him, clearly.

The State Department's entire senior management team just resigned.

Happy days, Pat, you have to do a happy days or here again for that.

Yeah.

I need a song for that.

That's fantastic.

I've said for years, the number one thing a president should do and won't do is fire everybody at the State Department.

Yeah.

Right?

Yes.

He didn't fire them.

He didn't fire them.

It's even better.

They left.

They left.

And I guess he couldn't technically hire anyone to replace him because of the hiring freeze, right?

Maybe they'll just go.

Maybe we just won't have a state.

He'll just be Rex Tillerson by himself.

That is fantastic.

It's the single biggest simultaneous departure of

institutional memory that anyone can remember.

And that's incredibly difficult to replicate, said David Wade, who served as State Department Chief under John Kerry.

Department expertise in security, management, administrative and consular positions in particular are very difficult to replicate and particularly difficult to find in the private sector.

Did say how many people it involves

all together?

I don't want, see, I don't, this is the part of the system that I don't want to melt down.

Right.

I want to make sure our consulates and our embassies are still working.

Yeah.

But if the policy people all walk, that's a dream come true.

Dream come true.

Bye-bye.

Back in just a minute with more.

You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Mercury.

The Glenn Beck Program.

You know, we're just talking about

this new video that has come out from Lila Rose's group, live, what is it?

Live action.

Live action.

She's fantastic.

She has changed the way to fight abortion.

She's somebody who started fighting it when she was 16 years old.

Is she even 30 yet?

I don't think so.

I met her years ago.

She's pretty young.

She is incredible.

She is brilliant.

I mean, just brilliant.

The pro-life activism has come a long way from the day of the fetus truck, I will say.

Oh, yeah.

Because that used to be the thing they do.

They just run around sporting events with giant fetuses on the sides of the trucks, pictures.

And it was like, you didn't want to be associated with those people.

Right.

I mean, you look at the stuff they're doing.

It's, I mean, this thing they did with Planned Parenthood yesterday, they did a video about Planned Parenthood and how the 3% of their activities activities are abortions, which is a stat constantly quoted blindly by liberals.

They pick that apart with expertise.

They do a really good job.

And there's several organizations that are doing this with credibility and real logic.

And I do think this is coming around.

I mean, again,

as bad as a million kids almost were aborted last year, it's the lowest rate it's been since 1973.

And that is a positive.

There are other reasons why it's not just activism.

It's

a control and other things.

A million Americans.

And what they'll say to you is, a million mouths to feed.

Who is going to take care of those kids?

Well, there's a lot of people that would take care of those kids.

There are

many people waiting to adopt.

Millions of people waiting to adopt.

How about them, you know?

And how about some of them being taken care of?

Well, I don't know, by their parent.

Now you're talking.

I know.

Now I'm talking crazy town.

But we look at it in a different way.

At least I do.

Think of how many 58 million 56 million 52 million 52 million have been aborted in since roe versus wade 52 million yeah what a hole of cost that is and it rises at around a million 1.4 million a year we we look at pole pot and mao and stalin and hitler we're much more effective at killing than they ever were um

because society doesn't even see it

society embraces it and and pays for it and celebrates and marches for it.

What's so amazing to me is I look at those 52 million and say, how many Steve Jobs did we lose?

How many Bill Gates?

Was there, how many great artists, actors, painters,

how many great inventors?

Booker T.

Washington,

how many

Frederick Douglasses, Abraham Lincoln, John F.

Kennedys, Ronald Reagan, how many of those have we lost?

Yeah, I mean, this is the ultimate

answer to the question of racism as well.

I mean, Pat, we were talking about this the other day.

You know, we look at stats all the time.

I mean, you know, I'm somewhat obsessed with numbers, as you may know.

And usually when I look at a stat, I can tell pretty much right off the bat.

whether there's a chance it's true, whether, you know, I mean, okay, that could see how that one could be true.

And a lot of of times you see stats that you're just like, that can't be right.

You look into it and you find out the stat is wrong.

One of the most amazing, one of the times that that happened to me was we saw the stat that said more African-American children were aborted in New York City than born.

And that stat is so incomprehensibly horrific.

I could not believe it was true.

And you look at the numbers and man, it's freaking true.

I mean, that is true.

More African-American children were aborted in New York.

I think it's New York City.

In New York City.

In New York City than were born.

That is one of the most tragic sentences you can utter.

And

people talk about racism.

Think of what they accuse conservatives of when they talk about racism.

You don't want to be friends with black people.

You don't want affirmative action.

You don't want to give money to African-American groups.

You don't want black kids to get an education.

Yeah.

You don't want to feed black children.

You don't want to feed black children.

You don't want to give money to inner cities.

You don't care about inner city education.

Oh, really?

Well, I support a policy that would have 14 million African Americans alive.

You support the one where they're all dead.

Which one is the racist?

Which one's actually killing children?

14 million African Americans, if you adopted our policies, would be alive.

14 million African Americans, if we adopt your policies, would be dead.

And let me change this to the way the left will understand it.

You'd have 14 million extra votes.

Yeah.

Or very close to it.

Yeah, but 92% or whatever it is.

Very close to it.

I'm saying that with a very hard tongue in the cheek.

It's despicable to even look at it that way.

Although there would be also a lot of white people who would also be alive.

And, you know,

gosh darn it, maybe they'd vote the other way.

But the point here is that it's about life.

It's about people being alive and having the chance to live a life.

And think of that.

It's 52 million people.

That'd be the 25th largest country in the world.

It's insanity.

I mean,

all 52 million lived in the same place.

Well, it would be equivalent to the

55th largest country.

I mean, listen to how complex this argument is now.

Look at how many ways you can defend it if you're on the left.

Yes, but the carbon footprint.

Yeah.

Yes, but the food, we're never going to be able to, the earth can't stand it.

I heard a stat the other day, and I'd love to know if this is true, Stu.

I can almost guarantee you it's not.

That if everyone on the earth were given an acre,

they could all live in Texas with acreage remaining.

Everyone on earth.

Well, I guess it's just a one on Earth.

Well, how many earth is it?

I mean, you said that could fit on the island.

They could fit on the island of Maui.

Right.

If everyone on earth now can fit on the island of Maui.

Right.

So this stat was

comfortable.

It'd be a little crowded.

Right.

But think think of that.

But you had space.

The stat on the Maui thing was you are shoulder to shoulder.

Yeah.

But you're not quite.

I mean, you know, you're shoulder to shoulder.

You're not on top of each other, at least.

So everyone in the Texas, as big as that is, how many acres?

No, it does not look like it's accurate.

That's not true.

In fact,

the way it's phrased is one-eighth of an acre per person.

That's what most

people are.

Right.

But it's actually, there's 167 million acres in Texas.

Okay.

So not quite.

However, the stat

is defendable, I know for sure, is the one in Maui.

And

it's shoulder to shoulder.

Every single person understood.

But if you gave everybody an eighth of an acre on Earth, though, how many states would you eat up?

Yeah, I mean, obviously not a lot.

Yeah, right.

I mean, think of that.

You'd have

the entire rest of the world would be empty.

And you wouldn't even eat up the United States.

These arguments are stupid.

And

God knows how many people

that these policies that have influenced have killed.

I mean, remember, you go back, let me bring up a little Adolph reference here for a moment.

But I mean, you look at Adolph's policies.

Yes, he was very concerned about the Jews.

One of his large complaints was that he wanted living space because there were too many people and not enough room to gain food.

He made an environmentalist population control argument.

He was a

huge environmentalist

and a huge animal lover.

Did you know that?

Oh, yeah, huge animal lover.

Huge animal lover.

He was obviously a vegetarian,

which I always say, like, you know, because I'm also a vegetarian.

I hope the only thing I have in common with Hitler.

But

he had these big dinners with all the other Nazi officials, and he would eat his vegetarian meals, and they would offer you could eat the vegetarian meals with Hitler, or you could have the normal meat meals.

And even Adolf couldn't win these guys over.

I mean, if you have Adolf Hitler setting the example of vegetarianism, you're like, screw that.

eating, I'm eating sausage.

I mean, it must be hard to convince people to be vegetarian.

I don't know about you, but I'm not sitting at the same table with a steak with Adolf if he's if he's eating sausage.

Oh my God, I don't care.

Yeah, exactly.

You're you.

No, I'm good.

But think about it.

It didn't work on those guys.

Those guys were being executed for everything.

Every time they said a word wrong to this guy, they got executed and they were like, yeah, look,

I will wipe out an entire race of people, but I'm not eating salad.

That is not happening.

Have you ever seen them?

Yeah, they are.

Gary was like, you think that guy had ever.

No way.

No way.

I'm going to, I'll send myself to the concentration camp before I will eat a salad.

That's Garing.

I mean, that's, yes, amazing.

Now, this, the first week of a new presidency is almost over, and we have seen a lot already.

This is going to be a very big news day today because of the State Department walkout.

Biggest walkout of all time.

And

good.

And if you think that the guy who ran Exxon isn't going to be able to handle that, you're mistaken.

He ran Exxon for the love of Pete.

He's going to be able to handle the State Department.

Who he replaces everybody with is going to be very, very important.

But cleaning house at the State Department and not having to fire them, having them all walk out, amen.

And by the way, one of them, one of the guys who walked out was the head of

security for the embassies, which

that guy should have been

fired a long time ago with some of the stuff that State Department Security gets away with.

Anyway,

every administration comes in with its own new promises, and the success and failures of the promises are out of our hands.

And it's why so many people are concerned, because they don't have the power in their hands anymore.

So what could happen?

Lots of things could happen.

Most 99% of

the things that we fear, the things that we think of are not going to happen.

It's that 1%

that happens that you just were blinded by.

And it could be as simple as losing your job or you run your own business and all of a sudden you have to take a massive pay cut because business isn't doing so well.

It could be somebody in the family has some medical procedure that you have to pay for.

Are you prepared for the small bumps, let alone the big bumps?

Are you prepared for just the small bumps?

Four weeks of emergency food is a really good thing to have on hand.

Four weeks of emergency food, that would give you a family of four, one week.

breakfast, lunch, dinner, the snacks, the drinks, everything.

Or

you could take and for $99,

you could have one person have food all month long.

This is something that all of us should have.

For $400, you could cover the family, a family of four.

You could cover them for a month.

When you get to the end of the month, things are a little light.

You wouldn't have to go to the grocery store and get everything that last week.

$99 now, you're never going to find a deal like this.

$1,800, $200, $71, $63.

Glenn Beck Program.

Triple 8727 back.

Mercury.

This is the Glenn Beck program.

Welcome to the program.

We have to play this Lila Rose audio.

And this is not Lila Rose, but she's the one who started.

She's a group live action.

Yeah, live action.

She started this.

She's brilliant.

Listen to the argument:

oh, they provide women's health screenings.

Prenatal care.

Prenatal care.

It's really for the baby.

We're not trying to take the baby's life.

Right.

They provide prenatal care.

We hear that from Obama all the way down.

So you're going to hear some of the leadership of

Planned Parenthood talking about the prenatal care, how important that is.

And then

Live Action calls Planned Parenthood clinics for prenatal care.

Prenatal care.

These are the kinds of services that folks depend on Planned Parenthood for.

And a president who will fight for prenatal care.

Prenatal care.

And that is what we want to focus on.

That is what is so vital.

So vital.

Thank you for coming, Planned Parenthood.

My name's Heck Nice.

This is today.

Hi, I was hoping to make an appointment for prenatal care.

For what type of service?

Prenatal care, pregnancy care.

We don't have prenatal care here.

Planned parent offers abortions, so they don't offer prenatal care.

Okay, just abortions.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, no, we wouldn't provide any pre type of prenatal services here at Planned Parenthood.

We're not a prenatal care provider.

No, Planned Parenthood does prenatal care.

We don't offer prenatal care at Planned Parenthood.

We specialize in abortions.

You know, that's what our ultrasounds are for, to see how far along the patient is.

Planned Parenthood, we do birth control, you know, things like that, termination.

and we also

let's do the abler

okay okay okay so we don't do any prenatal services no prenatal no we don't do prenatal services i mean it's called planned parenthood i know it's kind of deceiving do you have objectivians here we do not no oh you don't no okay all right which is a deceptive name right

i think the same thing or you know if you were looking at termination options we can do that as well

did you know that planned parenthood can take care of all your reproductive health needs, whether it's an annual exam, pregnancy testing and counseling, prenatal care?

We are here for you with high-quality, low-cost services.

Sure.

That's what they sell.

That is not what they offer.

Unbelievable.

They found five out of 97 clinics that they got in touch with offered prenatal care of some kind.

It's incredible.

I mean, not only are they not doing the thing that they're promised that they're doing when they get in front of an audience, they're also not even instructing their phone operators to lie about

what they are now.

Oh, they are going to believe they are now.

You bet.

Yeah.

You bet they are.

Not this clinic, but boy,

we specialize in premature care everywhere else.

If those recordings weren't doctored, hacked, made up.

Oh, by the way,

you didn't play the entire call.

Some amazing things from James O'Keefe.

Now, James O'Keefe is a guy that

I have watched for a while and did really good work on Acorn,

you know, but I want to see the raw tapes of everything.

Remember the Inauguration Day protester that was caught in the sting video by James O'Keefe trying to say he's going to shut down the Trump celebration?

Well, that's been

doctored, and that's Attitude, and James O'Keefe, he has knowledge.

He's, you know, he's a criminal.

Mm-hmm.

Sean Charney, 34, caught in the video produced by James O'Keefe's organization,

discussing plans to unleash acid,

a substance often used in stink bombs, but also could have harmful effects, at the Deplorable,

an event done blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, was arrested.

He pleaded not guilty and released on condition he stay away from inauguration-related activities with a court date set for the 3rd of February.

He is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit assault, a misdemeanor.

So, I guess somebody believed that maybe

that wasn't an edited video.

Somebody took the video seriously, and DC police have arrested

the guy in the O'Keefe video.

Good news: one guy still on the streets, but one guy at least held responsible.

This is the Glenn Beck program, Mercury.
