Speaker 11 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 14 My.
Speaker 15 I'm.
Speaker 16 I'm.
Speaker 17 I'm not at a loss for words for for what happened this weekend.
Speaker 20 And we begin with a couple of celebrities and how the media reported on those celebrities.
Speaker 16 We begin with Madonna and Ashley Judd right now.
Speaker 23 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 11 This is the Glenn Beck
Speaker 11 Program.
Speaker 21 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 25 We're so glad that you're here.
Speaker 26 I'm just reading the front page of the Blaze, and I think this story is wrong.
Speaker 22 Madonna's Mouth gets the attention of the Secret Service. Can somebody check with the Blaze?
Speaker 32 Because I've been reading this weekend the liberal side, the Huffington Post side of these rallies, and quite honestly, I think my head's going to pop.
Speaker 18 I cannot believe the way these rallies have been treated by the press.
Speaker 29 You want to know, press, why you have no trust in the center of the country.
Speaker 42 This is it.
Speaker 42 This is it.
Speaker 43 This is astro turf at its best.
Speaker 50 Remember when you tried to make the moms and the kids that just felt like they just wanted their voice to be heard felt like they were a tool of the GOP, which, I will have you know, after 2012 or leading up to 2012, it had become a tool of the GOP.
Speaker 38 And that's why the Tea Party fell apart, because it was no longer,
Speaker 54 it was AstroTurf.
Speaker 40 It had been hijacked.
Speaker 31 But for the first three or four years, that was absolutely moms and dads sitting next to each other,
Speaker 57 teaching their kids, paying their own way.
Speaker 40 So you have an AstroTurf and an impressive AstroTurf
Speaker 59 anti-Trump rally.
Speaker 19 But you don't mention that it's AstroTurf.
Speaker 51 And the things that you
Speaker 11 okayed
Speaker 63 through your reporting, the things that you dismissed when you were on week-long hunts for someone with a gun, someone with a sign that said National Socialism, that Obamacare is national socialism,
Speaker 53 and how you would twist that and make that into, see, you're calling him Hitler.
Speaker 54 How you would search.
Speaker 69 How you would bypass every cute child in the crowd.
Speaker 59 I saw saw a headline today
Speaker 72 of all of the cute children that were out holding signs.
Speaker 73 You made sure you, every single story, had a picture of the guy who dressed up as Ben Franklin.
Speaker 54 You would miss all the cute children.
Speaker 57 You would miss all the real people.
Speaker 67 And you would go to the one guy in the crowd that was dressed as Ben Franklin.
Speaker 32 But I noticed you didn't concentrate on the women who were dressed as vaginas.
Speaker 46 You want to know why the American people don't trust you?
Speaker 78 There it is.
Speaker 11 You have asked me into your own boardrooms.
Speaker 22 What is it we're doing?
Speaker 11 There it is.
Speaker 79 Right there.
Speaker 3 There it is.
Speaker 70 You have two ways to go.
Speaker 63 You can either heal and learn from the mistakes of the past and start to be neutral observers
Speaker 83 or you can continue with your agenda and pretend you're neutral observers but you have to over correct
Speaker 84 do you understand that you have to over correct to gain any trust
Speaker 86 and i don't mean over correct by
Speaker 8 by making them look bad.
Speaker 63 I mean overcorrect by saying to us out
Speaker 3 loud on the front page,
Speaker 2 we get it.
Speaker 33 We made huge mistakes.
Speaker 32 And we have changes in our policies.
Speaker 2 We've done it here.
Speaker 49 We've done it here.
Speaker 44 You called me a conspiracy theorist
Speaker 11 for
Speaker 77 talking about Russia and how Russia is involved.
Speaker 40 That they are not a friend of the United States.
Speaker 17 When you were playing footsies with Russia, you called me a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 49 When I said that the unions were involved with AstroTurf against the Tea Party,
Speaker 12 you called me a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 46 You're going to call us a conspiracy theorist again, but you're going to have to call yourself.
Speaker 22 Congratulations to the New York Times, and everyone should go and click on this story for the New York Times.
Speaker 2 I'll give you the headline here in a second.
Speaker 18 Everyone should be aware of what the New York Times ran this weekend.
Speaker 59 They ran a story.
Speaker 91 They looked at the 50 groups, the main groups that were involved in this women's march,
Speaker 89 and they found the ties to George Soros.
Speaker 77 All of them are tied to George Soros.
Speaker 2 And they exposed that this is not
Speaker 3 a spontaneous rally.
Speaker 55 Now, that was one story out of many, but at least it was one.
Speaker 46 Everything that we said,
Speaker 38 every word that was scrutinized,
Speaker 17 how we had to watch every single word.
Speaker 20 And if we got one word misplaced, it would be in the headlines and it would be non-stop coverage for days.
Speaker 20 How we would say, you took that out of context.
Speaker 36 You have to play the whole thing.
Speaker 20 You took it out of context.
Speaker 45 And I don't mean the whole thing.
Speaker 91 I mean three lines before it.
Speaker 65 Or just to say, that was a comedy bit.
Speaker 2 You would never give us the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 30 Yet Madonna comes out on Saturday, and let's start with what she had to say.
Speaker 34 Yes,
Speaker 95 I'm angry.
Speaker 95 Yes, I am outraged.
Speaker 95 Yes,
Speaker 95 I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Speaker 11 Now that's what she goes on.
Speaker 52 But she goes on to say, but it go ahead, play the rest.
Speaker 95 But I know
Speaker 95 that this won't change anything okay stop okay
Speaker 11 all right good
Speaker 11 so what happens what happens the huffington post writes a story today that madonna says she was taking out of context because her whole her whole thing was about love blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah forgiven
Speaker 11 excuse me
Speaker 59 i am willing to say yes she was taken out of context Does she actually, has she actually been plotting
Speaker 3 for the Secret Service?
Speaker 46 Should they investigate her?
Speaker 10 No, they shouldn't.
Speaker 11 They said they were going to.
Speaker 26 What?
Speaker 11 They said they were going to...
Speaker 11 That was it.
Speaker 98 Did they say that? Because, I mean, if you read the Blaze story, it pretty clearly says that that evidence came from a conspiracy site. Yes.
Speaker 98 The source for the supposed investigation came from a conspiracy site. And, you know, they're essentially reporting on
Speaker 33 because
Speaker 12 that's what I had read, that it was a conspiracy website that started this nonsense.
Speaker 22 There's no reason the Secret Service should investigate Madonna on this.
Speaker 76 No.
Speaker 57 And there is no reason, there is no reason that anyone should think that Madonna was actually saying
Speaker 20 we should be violent or that that would cause someone to be violent.
Speaker 54 But that wasn't what you said about us.
Speaker 63 And we never said anything like that.
Speaker 87 Right.
Speaker 103 Even when all Sarah Palin said was that we should target
Speaker 103 districts.
Speaker 11 Correct.
Speaker 103 She meant for electing someone else. Right.
Speaker 11 For defeating the incumbent.
Speaker 31 How dare you,
Speaker 101 the press, how dare you
Speaker 101 lecture us about anything.
Speaker 11 Honestly.
Speaker 98 How dare you act rational about Madonna?
Speaker 98 How dare you take it and apply logic to what she said? How dare you?
Speaker 11 Thank you.
Speaker 44 Thank you.
Speaker 46 You did exactly the right thing, but you never did it to us.
Speaker 88 Never gave us the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 46 And I will tell you that you're going to sit around and go, that was completely logical.
Speaker 55 There's nothing wrong with that story.
Speaker 54
We reported it as it was. Yes, you did.
But that's why I say you have have to over-correct.
Speaker 49 You have to at least say, maybe in the past, we should have given the Tea Party credit when they didn't say things like this.
Speaker 54 We still
Speaker 11 went after Sarah Palin for the word targeting as if it was going to incite violence.
Speaker 45 If we would have said anything like this, the whole weekend would have been non-stop coverage on how
Speaker 57 we were violent extremists who were, you never know who's listening to you,
Speaker 57 you never know who's out there listening.
Speaker 84 You don't know.
Speaker 11 Remember those lectures?
Speaker 104 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 70 We can't, we have to vent
Speaker 11 this anger, honestly.
Speaker 22 We have to be able to say, I'm really angry about this. I'm really angry about this.
Speaker 71 But I don't want to yell and scream at the press.
Speaker 3 I want to beg the press, please, for the love of our country, for the love of stability,
Speaker 31 please, please
Speaker 36 listen to us.
Speaker 107 Please listen to us.
Speaker 12 Soon the door is going to close, I fear.
Speaker 109 And anyone interested in actually having a real conversation and the media having a chance of bringing this back from the brink.
Speaker 110 It's going to be over.
Speaker 49 It's going to be over.
Speaker 93 And let me tell you something.
Speaker 46 These guys will win.
Speaker 89 This,
Speaker 89 as Van Jones tweeted, it took us eight years to get a crowd half this size under George W.
Speaker 69 Bush.
Speaker 2 This is day number one.
Speaker 11 Why?
Speaker 81 Because A,
Speaker 36 the left knows, knows,
Speaker 112 I believe Obama said this when he was leaving, that the left should do the Tea Party, should learn from the Tea Party.
Speaker 105 They did.
Speaker 74 They did.
Speaker 50 What are they good at?
Speaker 31 What are we bad at?
Speaker 105 What are they good at?
Speaker 87 We're bad at protests. They're great at protests.
Speaker 65 They are going to master what the Tea Party did.
Speaker 70 Remember how unwieldy our first rallies were?
Speaker 84 Do you remember how, after modeling, they got better and better and better?
Speaker 3 They've used us as the model.
Speaker 108 This one was unwieldy,
Speaker 8 but they're going to learn.
Speaker 99 And they have the organizing tools and all of the money in the world.
Speaker 59 I'm afraid tomorrow I have to go back to my chalkboard.
Speaker 111 We've been working on it this weekend.
Speaker 18 We're going to give you some of the connections. We're going to talk to the woman who wrote that article for the New York Times about the connections to George Soros and to radical Islam
Speaker 30 and
Speaker 77 have a talk with her.
Speaker 8 Tomorrow, I'm bringing the chalkboard in because the connections are there.
Speaker 22 And if you want to call me a conspiracy theorist again, you can.
Speaker 46 I'm not going to accuse anybody of anything.
Speaker 39 I'm just going to point out the facts
Speaker 93 because somebody has to.
Speaker 82 And perhaps, perhaps, someone in the media will listen.
Speaker 76 I don't know if they will.
Speaker 18 But there's no such thing, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 110 Donald Trump,
Speaker 19 you made a mistake by mocking them.
Speaker 82 Please don't mock them.
Speaker 69 You were on their side while we were going through this.
Speaker 71 You were helped funding the anti-Tea Party stuff with Harry Reid.
Speaker 39 So you don't know how we felt.
Speaker 80 But we felt horrible when they mocked us and they didn't listen to us.
Speaker 12 Please don't do that.
Speaker 88 It will only ratchet it up more.
Speaker 71 And I know that there are people, Steve Bannon calls himself a Leninist.
Speaker 120 Not that he's a national socialist.
Speaker 46 He is a nationalist.
Speaker 46 But what he believes in is that Lenin was right.
Speaker 40 Burn the entire thing down.
Speaker 105 They want a war.
Speaker 23 I'm not saying Trump does, does, but Bannon definitely does.
Speaker 59 He's on record saying it.
Speaker 64 He wants an internal war between the press and the people.
Speaker 76 I don't.
Speaker 37 I don't. I want reason to rule again.
Speaker 18 Unfortunately, reason has become treason.
Speaker 72 That has to change.
Speaker 98 That rhymed.
Speaker 11 Thank you.
Speaker 106
Thank you. Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 98 That was a a good
Speaker 14 idea.
Speaker 25 It rhymed so people will remember it more easily.

Speaker 11 The Glenn Beck Program. Oh, it's nice.
Speaker 24 888-727-BEC.
Speaker 18 New season of the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 136 Welcome to it. Glad you're here.
Speaker 117 We thought we'd start this season. Usually we start on January 3rd, but we thought we'd start the new season this year with a new season with the president.
Speaker 38 Fresh start for everything.
Speaker 35 And I even went the extra mile for a stew and got him a fireplace and got up early and built a roaring fire.
Speaker 28 And you're still cold.
Speaker 138 I mean, I'll switch places with you. I'm a little bit closer.
Speaker 103 I'm not throwing off as much heat as you might think.
Speaker 11 Really? Yeah.
Speaker 125 It's, I mean, we can put a fan in it or something to bring out some of the heat.
Speaker 11 Yeah, I love to do that.
Speaker 11 Not effective.
Speaker 88 Not effective.
Speaker 139 It was good to see that the left wanted wanted a fresh start, too. And that's,
Speaker 103 they were, they were great over the weekend in fresh starts, weren't they?
Speaker 11 They were
Speaker 103 wonderful.
Speaker 11 They were wonderful. It's such a weird strategy.
Speaker 31 It's so weird that
Speaker 59 the tea party just didn't catch on, except for any place except the old iron, behind the iron curtain and Italy.
Speaker 40 But all of a sudden, on inauguration weekend, the entire world spontaneously
Speaker 60 got together amazing
Speaker 98 that is amazing such a weird approach i mean they really have uh it just shows that this is just naked partisanship yes because i mean if you look at donald trump objectively the man has offered a 680 billion dollar paid maternity leave program funded by the federal government for women There has never been a more opportunity for the left to get things out of a Republican president than this guy.
Speaker 98 I mean, he's so heavily influenced by his daughter, who is with the women's march people on all of these issues, and yet they still act like it's the apocalypse.
Speaker 11
I mean, you'd think. Play Ashley Judd.
Play Ashley Judd. Do we have time?
Speaker 84 By the way, we have the woman who wrote the...
Speaker 48 Don't.
Speaker 59 We don't have time.
Speaker 141 We have the woman coming up next, Azra Nomani.
Speaker 18 She is the woman who wrote the story for the New York Times about the connections to George Soros and the radical left.
Speaker 10 It was 15 years ago today
Speaker 72 that
Speaker 89 Danny Pearl was kidnapped and executed.
Speaker 46 He left to go to the Middle East from her house.
Speaker 142 We're going to talk to her.
Speaker 77 We might talk a little bit about Daniel Pearl as well, but she wrote a very brave article on who's actually behind this big march.
Speaker 114 And
Speaker 18 if the press wants to have any credibility,
Speaker 18 they have to report this
Speaker 114 and
Speaker 18 start being neutral.
Speaker 94 And if the press on the right wants to have any credibility, we also have to report the things that are not necessarily good for our side.
Speaker 60 There has to be someone with credibility.
Speaker 11 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 11 Mercury.
Speaker 11 This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 21 Here is Ashley Judd from this weekend.
Speaker 143
Nasty as Confederate flags being tattooed across my city. Maybe the South actually is going to rise again.
Maybe for some, it never really fell.
Speaker 11 Blacks are still in shackles and graves just for being black.
Speaker 143 Slavery has been reinterpreted as the prison system in front of people who see melanin as animal skin. I am not as nasty
Speaker 143 as a swastika painted on a pride flag. And I didn't know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets.
Speaker 103 She's not as nasty as he's not as demonstrated.
Speaker 11 Keep in mind,
Speaker 11 she's comparing him to devils and Hitler, but she's not as nasty as he is.
Speaker 88 And when she said, I feel Hitler in the streets, I thought, well, you're kind of the one in the street right now.
Speaker 11 Right.
Speaker 102 Reciting awful poetry that I think the Nazis wouldn't have even done.
Speaker 14 I saw
Speaker 8 in the New York Times.
Speaker 22 Congratulations to the New York Times for running this story.
Speaker 30 It is by Azra Nomani. She is a former Wall Street Journal reporter.
Speaker 56 Here's the headline.
Speaker 52 Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 partners of the women's march on Washington.
Speaker 2 What is the link between one of Hillary Clinton's largest donors and the women's march?
Speaker 69 Turns out it's quite significant.
Speaker 30 That's the headline.
Speaker 12 Ozra is with us now to tell us a little bit about the connections.
Speaker 111 Ozra, thank you for writing this story.
Speaker 146
Oh my gosh, Glenn, you must be thinking, see, I'm not crazy. Somebody else has figured it out.
I know. You felt lonely, right?
Speaker 2 Yes, I did.
Speaker 14 Now it's your turn to feel lonely.
Speaker 146 Yeah, I got to tell you, it is a machine out there that wants to shut down this conversation. I just got done telling one of my fellow journalists,
Speaker 146 a woman who supports the march, you know, there are supposed to be no sacred cows in journalism, and that includes the women's march, and that includes George Soros.
Speaker 11 And what's she saying?
Speaker 146
They tell me that I am biased. And, you know, and I say to them, but this is what this is the point.
The Women's March was a biased march.
Speaker 146 I mean, Ashley Judd, when I was looking back at another spreadsheet I'm doing on the speakers, was a clear Hillary Clinton supporter.
Speaker 146 So she said, she has a famous quote during the campaign, are there any other qualified candidates?
Speaker 146 Absolutely, but I think Hillary Clinton is the most overqualified candidate we've had since Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.
Speaker 146 So they put forward this march as a women's march, but really it was just for women who are anti-Trump.
Speaker 146 And that's what I was noticing because I had come out of the closet right after the election and wrote a piece for the Washington Post that I, as a Muslim, a woman, an immigrant, had voted for Trump.
Speaker 146 And I did so largely influenced by eight years of
Speaker 146 burying our heads in the sand on the issue of Islamic extremism.
Speaker 146 Many other Muslims have also voted the same way because
Speaker 146 because we're fed up of the Saudis and Qatar and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, you know, shoving this extremist interpretation of Islam down our throats.
Speaker 146 And so then when this women's march emerged, I thought, you know what, I'm a feminist, I'm for women's rights, but I noticed that there wasn't any room for people who didn't agree with the platform of Hillary Clinton and
Speaker 146 the very strong identity politics of the left. And there are many of us who are liberal who refuse that politics.
Speaker 146 And so I started doing my investigating and that's how I've got this spreadsheet that folks can view.
Speaker 146 I've got it open on Google Docs, that
Speaker 146 amazing
Speaker 146 technology that we can use today.
Speaker 146 And I saw the numbers and I saw that there is a real bias in this march and we should be honest about it.
Speaker 82 So what was the reaction first from the New York Times?
Speaker 39 Was it hard to get the Times to write this?
Speaker 11 Or
Speaker 146 the wonderful thing is that Tina Brown,
Speaker 146 a former publisher and editor at the Daily Beast, Vanity Fair, has created this platform at the New York Times called Women in the World. And it is a unique place where voices of
Speaker 146 I believe the spectrum of analysis is allowed in a way that it's not even allowed on the pages of the
Speaker 146 opinion pages of the New York Times anymore. And so fortunately, we've got these outlets where we can still have
Speaker 146 the kind of
Speaker 146 straight,
Speaker 146 clear reporting and analysis that I tried to present with this piece.
Speaker 35 So where are you going from here with this?
Speaker 37 Because one of the co-chairs, and I think you point this out in your article, is someone that you know, most people would not look to as somebody who is
Speaker 83 looking at a favorable view of of Islam from the Western point of view.
Speaker 146 Yeah, the person you're speaking about, one of the co-chairs is Linda Sarsour, and she has
Speaker 146 been a really
Speaker 146 polarizing and
Speaker 146 controversial figure in our Muslim community
Speaker 146 as well as in the country.
Speaker 146 There is a photo in which she has a young boy with rock in his hand aimed toward Israeli soldiers and her message on this photo is
Speaker 146 that this is an image of courage. And so
Speaker 146 I have
Speaker 146 been aware of
Speaker 146 the way that you, for example, and many other people have been targeted by individuals like Linda Sarsour,
Speaker 146 including myself.
Speaker 146 I've also been a target, you know, from the left to the right. We've been targets when we have a serious conversation about Islamic extremism.
Speaker 146 You know, Glenn, I know you're a very understated person, right?
Speaker 106 Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 146 You know, and so you have your flourishes, right, and how you present information, but I know that I've read your work, I've followed your work, and I know that at the heart of it is, you know, a very sincere effort to try to educate people about an extremist ideology inside of Islam.
Speaker 146
And we need to have that conversation. But you have been targeted, Bill Maher has been targeted, you know, from the left to the right.
And I call these individuals the honor brigade.
Speaker 146 They silence anybody who
Speaker 146 defames the supposed honor of Islam. And so Linda Sarsour has been a character in
Speaker 146 this network. And my effort now is to try to
Speaker 146 really expose the workings of this network that has existed for the last 15 years since the 9-11 attacks, and brings us to this place where we're still debating whether there's an Islam in Islamic extremism, and whether we're still debating whether there's an Islam in the Islamic State.
Speaker 146 And to me, all these issues come together because, you know, 15 years ago, my colleague and friend Danny Pearl was kidnapped off the streets of Pakistan. I was pregnant
Speaker 146
by a boyfriend there in Pakistan. I didn't even know it as I waved goodbye to Danny.
My boyfriend bailed on me that day, and so I was left single.
Speaker 146 I was a criminal as a woman, according to the interpretations of Islam that are put forward by the government of Pakistan. And then Danny was murdered because he was Jewish.
Speaker 146 And so there is a casualty for women, for others, if we don't deal with this issue of Islamic extremism.
Speaker 146 And my hope and intention as a journalist is to try to show the propaganda that silences this conversation,
Speaker 146 including you, Glenn.
Speaker 79 So, Azra, where do you go from here?
Speaker 22 Because
Speaker 35 I am trying to change my tone, not my principles, but change my tone,
Speaker 59 and to admit my mistakes and
Speaker 18 to really try to listen.
Speaker 77 But it's going to take people on the other side to do the same thing.
Speaker 111 And I saw this march this weekend, and I thought Donald Trump is going to go to war with the press, and the press is going to go to war with him, and the left, the activists will stir it up on the streets, and we're in trouble.
Speaker 106 We're just, the hate is just going to grow more and more out of control.
Speaker 80 Are you seeing any movement at all from the liberal circles in the press that are starting to say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Speaker 93 Maybe we have some of this wrong?
Speaker 146 Well, you know, first I want to say, you know, thank you for your own personal journey to coming to this place because, you know, we all do that.
Speaker 146 Like, you know, we have, we're passionate about issues.
Speaker 146 Our voices express it.
Speaker 146
And I appreciate the soul searching that you've done and sharing it with people. I think that takes a lot of moral courage.
And I just want to thank you for that.
Speaker 146 You know, and the fact that we're even having this conversation, you know, Glenn, you and me, we're both of completely different identities.
Speaker 146 But I really do believe that we both stand on this middle path where we don't want to be
Speaker 11 pulled and stretched by the extremes.
Speaker 146 We all grow in our lives. You evolve, I evolve, we all evolve, and I think it's on us.
Speaker 146 I don't know if we can have much hope in a lot of our media outlets, but I do know that I hear personally, secretly, from fellow journalists who thank me for the work that I'm doing because they're sick and tired of the bias also.
Speaker 147 You know,
Speaker 146 I couldn't even watch CNN's coverage of the women's march. I can barely,
Speaker 146 you know, watch anything but C-SPAN nowadays, right? Because it's just
Speaker 11 the raw fact.
Speaker 146 Yeah.
Speaker 146 And Glenn, it's on us. You know, I really believe that, you know, we have to be the civility we want to see in the world to
Speaker 146 use the Mahatma Gandhi quote, quote,
Speaker 146 but continue
Speaker 146 to have very clear analysis, like not pull our punches, you know, when it comes to clear reporting.
Speaker 146 And
Speaker 146 I want to
Speaker 146 invite everyone to also
Speaker 146 walk on that middle path with us and not engage in name-calling or vitriol, but really be the civility we want to see.
Speaker 59 Ezra, I hope we get a chance to meet someday.
Speaker 114 I'm
Speaker 114 a huge fan of your courage, and I truly believe courage is contagious.
Speaker 18 We just have to see more examples
Speaker 8 around us, and people will join in.
Speaker 109 And
Speaker 109 I'm so grateful that the New York Times gave you the space to run this article and that you took the time to do the research on it and spoke the truth.
Speaker 111 Thank you so much.
Speaker 146 No, and thank you, Glenn, for your courage, because it takes a lot to grow in this world, and you're always doing it as we all are.
Speaker 11 Thank you.

Speaker 109 Nomani, she is a former writer with the Wall Street Journal and now with the New York Times, who wrote a fantastic article that everyone should look up, comment on, like,
Speaker 109 share so the New York Times sees that there is hunger for this.
Speaker 112 Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 partners of the women's march in Washington.
Speaker 111 What is the link between Hillary's largest donor and the women's march?
Speaker 19 Turns out it's quite significant.
Speaker 130 A huge story for the New York York Times to run.
Speaker 19 It doesn't seem to be a conspiracy theory anymore.
Speaker 39 Please look that up.

Speaker 16 Now this.
Speaker 56 Imagine losing $40,000
Speaker 111 in a single burglary.
Speaker 94 You come home and I don't even know what you have in your house that would be worth $40,000.
Speaker 86 They steal everything in your house.
Speaker 99 $40,000 gone.
Speaker 125 That's what happened to one homeowner in Los Angeles
Speaker 141 last month.
Speaker 2 The perp dragged the homeowner's safe all the way down the stairs, out the door, and into the getaway car.
Speaker 100 So how'd he break in?
Speaker 82 He broke a window pane, one single window pane, reached in, unlocked the back door, and came in.
Speaker 22 Doesn't have glass break sensors, doesn't have motion sensors, has nothing, has $40,000 in a safe,
Speaker 38 but no security.

Speaker 71 This is, I find it amazing that this woman was allowed to write this in the New York Times.
Speaker 112 Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 partners of the Women's March on Washington.
Speaker 59 She lays them out.
Speaker 71 The executive director of the American Humanist Association, a March
Speaker 71 partner, told me his organization was nonpartisan, but has, quote, many concerns about the incoming Trump administration that include what they see as a misogynist approach to women.
Speaker 142 Nick Fish, national program director of American Atheists, another March partner, told me this is not partisan.
Speaker 92 Dennis Wiley, pastor of the Covenant Baptist United Church of Christ, another partner, returned my call and said it's not a partisan march.
Speaker 8 Really?
Speaker 125 Unitewomen.org, another partner, features videos with hashtags, quote, I'm with, I mean, hashtag I'm with her, hashtag Dems in Philly, and hashtag thanks Obama.
Speaker 112 Following the money, I poured through the documents of billionaire George Soros and his open society philanthropy because I wondered what's the link between one of Hillary's largest donors and the women's march.
Speaker 3 I found out plenty.
Speaker 36 But a draft of my research, which I'm opening up for crowdsourcing on Google Docs, Soros has funded or has relationships with at least 56 of the march's partners, including key partners, Planned Parenthood, which opposes Trump's anti-abortion policy, the National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump's environmental policies, and other Soros ties with women's march organizations.
Speaker 120 See, this is the deal.
Speaker 38 You couldn't write this about the Tea Party.
Speaker 46 When the Tea Party first started,
Speaker 46 and really all the way through until the GOP started co-opting some of them,
Speaker 144 you couldn't write this.
Speaker 29 They didn't have groups behind them.
Speaker 10 We didn't have the Soros groups or any connection to any groups.
Speaker 36 It was Steve and Bill and Mary.
Speaker 70 They were just regular people.
Speaker 98 And the Koch brothers.
Speaker 11 They're about the Koch brothers. Koch brothers, to my knowledge, at least
Speaker 136 the 9-12 project didn't ever give a dime.
Speaker 11 Except for the Koch brothers.

Speaker 151 Hello, and welcome to the program.
Speaker 12 A lot to cover today.
Speaker 13 We want to talk a little bit about
Speaker 21 alternate facts.
Speaker 21 Do alternate facts exist, or
Speaker 21 in a world where reason is not treason, they are just
Speaker 13 lies
Speaker 67 we'll decide and then
Speaker 21 Chuck Todd you wanted to know why the president would send somebody out with a lie and you wanted as the press wanted to get to that right away
Speaker 13 but
Speaker 21 did you notice all the other lies that have been told in the last eight years?
Speaker 33 They don't make these lies right, understand.
Speaker 52 but it also makes you look like a total hypocrite.
Speaker 2 And that's where I want to begin right now.
Speaker 1 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Speaker 11 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 21 If you're watching the program
Speaker 21 on Dish or any of the other cable networks that carry us, or you're watching online, you just saw Chuck Schumer and Mike Lee singing our theme song together, which took a lot to get them to do, but that's a different story.
Speaker 62 Welcome to the program. Glad you're here.
Speaker 56 Let's start with alternative facts.
Speaker 11 Now,
Speaker 58 Chuck Todd
Speaker 63 and the rest of the media,
Speaker 46 there are, I'm trying to, I don't want to critique you.
Speaker 84 What I want to do
Speaker 81 is
Speaker 22 see if you will look at things from a different point of view.
Speaker 137 How am I doing, Pat?
Speaker 103 It's pretty good so far. Better than I could have done.
Speaker 11 Yes.
Speaker 71 So I want you to look at it from a different point of view.
Speaker 88 I need you to look at
Speaker 75 the way half of the country, if you're trying to figure out why don't we have any credibility,
Speaker 90 then it requires you to do some actual soul searching and not talk to the people in your office because, as Einstein said,
Speaker 100 the people who created the problem cannot solve the problem.
Speaker 127 So come out of that echo chamber and let's have a discussion.
Speaker 33 This is a good example.
Speaker 59 When you said to Kellyanne Conway this weekend, this and you did not answer the question.
Speaker 11
I did answer the question. No, you did not.
You did not answer the question of why the president asked the White House press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time
Speaker 11 and utter a falsehood.
Speaker 98 Why did he do that?
Speaker 152 It undermines the credibility of the entire White House press office on day one.
Speaker 128 Stop. When you said that, about
Speaker 22 40% of your available audience did this.
Speaker 17 You have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 55 And here's why.
Speaker 100 Lie after lie after lie came out of the White House press room during the Obama administration.
Speaker 76 And you all sat there like bumps on the log, and
Speaker 149 you either reported it or you just let it slide
Speaker 69 and some of us were saying guys
Speaker 68 you cannot do this because the next guy if you let this go the next guy will be even worse
Speaker 153 now here's how kellyan conway answered that proving by point so don't be so overly dramatic about it chuck what it you're saying it's a falsehood and they're giving sean spicer our press secretary gave alternative facts to that.
Speaker 153 But the point is...
Speaker 11 Donald.
Speaker 11 What?
Speaker 11 Alternative facts?
Speaker 106 So good.
Speaker 11
Those are lies. Wow.
And what they're talking about is, and this is the most ridiculous lie.
Speaker 93 Why, Donald?
Speaker 34 Why would you do this?
Speaker 71 Donald Trump set the press secretary out to say this was the largest crowd of any inauguration ever.
Speaker 113 No, it wasn't.
Speaker 22 The pictures clearly show it wasn't.
Speaker 101 But it doesn't matter.
Speaker 43 First of all, it was the first black president
Speaker 91 inaugurated in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 84 It was historic for African Americans alone.
Speaker 38 People who wanted to bring their kids there to see history the first time it had ever happened.
Speaker 87 I got news for you.
Speaker 46 Except for the last one, every single one of them was a white guy.
Speaker 84 Almost every single one of them was a rich white guy.
Speaker 64 There was no first tier.
Speaker 70 Yes, it was, you could say that it was historic in different ways, but not the way it was with Obama.
Speaker 74 Plus, it was in the District of Columbia.
Speaker 144 A,
Speaker 73 very heavy black population.
Speaker 40 B, the surrounding area is flame-throwing liberal.
Speaker 41 It leans liberal, definitely progressive.
Speaker 11 Of course, he had a bigger crowd.
Speaker 45 If you would have done the inauguration in
Speaker 46 Texas,
Speaker 150 you would have had a bigger crowd.
Speaker 98 Yeah,
Speaker 98 Trump earned 4% of the vote in Washington, D.C.
Speaker 119 Four. Yeah.
Speaker 11 So of course, of course, he's not going to have as big a crowd. It's meaningless.
Speaker 98
It doesn't mean anything about his presidency. It doesn't mean anything about the.
It doesn't mean that people aren't inspired by him.
Speaker 11 It means absolutely nothing. Nothing, which is
Speaker 98 a flexing something else.
Speaker 18 Everybody who voted for you, Donald, everybody, I shouldn't say everybody, a lot of people, they despise Washington, D.C.
Speaker 85 now.
Speaker 68 They don't like the Capitol.
Speaker 56 They don't like the people in the Capitol.
Speaker 32 They're sick of it.
Speaker 56 They think the whole thing is corrupt.
Speaker 46 Why would they be going to Washington?
Speaker 69 They want to see you as the outsider, not as the grand insider.
Speaker 46 So they don't, they're not connected to it.
Speaker 8 It's different than it was with Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 85 And it's meaningless, Donald Trump. It's meaningless.
Speaker 125 I should start calling him Mr.
Speaker 112 President.
Speaker 85 It's meaningless.
Speaker 46 It says nothing about you.
Speaker 18 It says nothing about your administration.
Speaker 97 But to send somebody out to lie
Speaker 75 does say something about you and not good things.
Speaker 11 Why would you do that? Why?
Speaker 90 Stop it, please.
Speaker 63 For the sake of the Republic, for the sake of your administration, stop with the easy lies.
Speaker 2 You're not going to get away with them. I mean, I know Barack Obama, you can keep your doctor.
Speaker 38 If you like your doctor, you can keep it.
Speaker 3 That was a lie, but it wasn't even an easy lie.
Speaker 148 You got to stop, and you got to be president.
Speaker 6 Now, back to Chuck Todd.
Speaker 66 Chuck,
Speaker 130 are you out of your mind?
Speaker 84 Really?
Speaker 34 I like you. I like Meet the Press.
Speaker 33 I think you guys have credibility.
Speaker 31 Whatever's left of credibility in Washington, you have some. Please
Speaker 23 know that when you say things like that,
Speaker 128 you need to say, look,
Speaker 59 I know the press let a lot of stuff slip with Barack Obama.
Speaker 39 But we've talked about it here, and there's a new era.
Speaker 46 If we had Obama to do over again, there there are some things that we wouldn't do.
Speaker 57 Do you notice that the press asks me every single time you say you're sorry?
Speaker 69 Can you be specific about what?
Speaker 128 What was it that you said that you didn't like?
Speaker 63 Every single time for five years, they've been doing that to me.
Speaker 59 I finally said, I'm not saying it anymore.
Speaker 22 You go look up.
Speaker 2 I've done plenty of interviews everywhere.
Speaker 46 Look those things up. I'm done.
Speaker 63 You've never said it, Chuck.
Speaker 91 Nobody in the media has said these are the mistakes we made.
Speaker 11 That would go so
Speaker 11 far, too.
Speaker 98 Because the thing is, being critical of Chuck Todd on this particular clip we just played is a little weird because he didn't do anything wrong on that clip.
Speaker 11 Nope.
Speaker 98
He handled that the correct way. Kelly Ann Conway is doing something she should not be doing.
Correct. Which, I mean, I understand it's your job to like president.
Speaker 11 Kelly Ann.
Speaker 18 She's a very nice person behind the scenes.
Speaker 149 I don't necessarily agree with what she's doing now publicly, but I like her behind her.
Speaker 11 You probably met her on the Cruise campaign.
Speaker 140 She worked for a Cruz Super PAC.
Speaker 105 Yeah.
Speaker 98 And so, but I mean, the idea here is that
Speaker 98
I understand it's your job to defend the president, but to come out and with alternative facts, it's bizarre. And it should be wrong.
And I guarantee you, everyone here, there would be 100% agreement.
Speaker 98 If Barack Obama or Josh Ernest came out and said, by the way, yeah, I know every piece of evidence points to A, but we're giving you B as an an alternative fact.
Speaker 98
I mean, they did it constantly. We didn't accept it even when they didn't define it as an alternative fact.
They just said it was the truth. It was wrong then, it's wrong now.
Speaker 98 And Chuck Todd is right to call her out on this, but he should have been doing it more and should, I think, take the extra step and say, look, we did let that stuff slide.
Speaker 98 That would go so far for people
Speaker 98 on the right to say, look, okay, well, at least they're acknowledging that they did these things wrong before as well.
Speaker 17 You can't just stop and say, oh,
Speaker 96 I'm this.
Speaker 66 No, what got you there?
Speaker 63 Where was your pivot point?
Speaker 55 Now you've said you have a logical pivot point.
Speaker 69 Your pivot point is, we just got our ass handed to us, and it's because nobody trusts us.
Speaker 105 Okay,
Speaker 77 why don't people trust us?
Speaker 89 Well, it's Russia.
Speaker 29 It's not Russia.
Speaker 89 It's you.
Speaker 18 You know, when somebody used to break up, or you'd break up with somebody, and
Speaker 78 you would always say, Look,
Speaker 59 it's not you, it's me.
Speaker 75 I want you to know that you can't say that with this breakup.
Speaker 31 It is you.
Speaker 89 It's not us. It's you.
Speaker 56 And all you have to do is come, if you want to start the relationship again, say, here are the mistakes that I made.
Speaker 84 And you're going to have to do that almost all the time for a while.
Speaker 38 Trust me, it's taken me five years.
Speaker 11 You're going to have to say that for a while before people go, oh, okay.
Speaker 56 I still yesterday tweeted so much stuff about the press,
Speaker 33 and I still said, Look,
Speaker 69 I recognize the problems I've made.
Speaker 91 Is there anyone in the press that will recognize the problems they are currently making?
Speaker 79 It's out of control.
Speaker 11 And what people will say is, well, what lies?
Speaker 6 What lies exactly?
Speaker 11 Well,
Speaker 29 we've compiled a few.
Speaker 31 Literally,
Speaker 33 just a few.
Speaker 31 Very few.
Speaker 33 Very few. So we'll...
Speaker 103 There's hundreds of people.
Speaker 49 Would you do me a favor?
Speaker 46 Could we post them someplace?
Speaker 70 Could we maybe do a tweet storm on just the lies from one of you guys?
Speaker 106 Yeah.
Speaker 3 It's happened before.
Speaker 8 You know, where were you then?
Speaker 97 We'll accept you now if you will
Speaker 46 accept that you made the mistake in the past by not pointing out these.
Speaker 19 We'll give you some of them coming up in a second.
Speaker 100 We have a new president. Early signs point to some potential positive outcomes of the new administration.
Speaker 22 Some of the things he did right after he was sworn in, that was kind of exciting, wasn't it?
Speaker 107 To see him go right to work, sit down right in the Capitol and
Speaker 15 sign some things. No, Stu?
Speaker 33 But did you see what he was saying?
Speaker 98 I didn't say now.
Speaker 11 Executive orders, day one.
Speaker 11 There you go. Day one.
Speaker 50 Yeah.
Speaker 78 But he was repealing executive orders, was he not?
Speaker 103 Yeah, one of the repeals that he made was like a
Speaker 100 tax cut for middle-income people trying to buy homes, which was weird.
Speaker 11 It was a weird one to start with.
Speaker 19 Today is day one.
Speaker 83 Today's the official day one.
Speaker 72 And if they do the things they have promised, it's going to be for good for the economy.
Speaker 71 However, I want you to know globalism, while it's done a lot of good things, like, you know, helped lift 2 billion people out of poverty around the world, capitalism by us sharing globally, that's good.
Speaker 34 Globalists want to move towards a cashless society and a one-world order.
Speaker 84 That's not good.
Speaker 34 Cashless society.
Speaker 75 A cashless society would give the governments of the world unprecedented access to information and power over citizens.
Speaker 75 I know this sounds crazy, but please do your own homework.
Speaker 82 It's already started in Europe, in Australia,
Speaker 117 where else, a bunch of other places.
Speaker 38 It has already started.
Speaker 116 Please do your homework on this and consider gold.
Speaker 112 The only company that I recommend is Gold Goldline. Read their important risk information and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

Speaker 154 The Glenn Bet Program.
Speaker 21 Some great phone calls, 888-727-BECK. We're going to get to them here in just a second.
Speaker 31 I just want to show the press some of the things that were said by Barack Obama that you were silent on.
Speaker 61 And this is what we heard.
Speaker 81 And we wondered why you didn't stop and say, hey, that wasn't true.
Speaker 155 Here's just a couple of things you can keep your plan if you are satisfied with it if you like the plan you have you can keep it okay if you like your plan we knew that that wasn't true from the very beginning we knew that wasn't true
Speaker 52 again right you didn't get there until it was too late you could have done the homework that we did and said read the bill there's no way you'll be able to keep your doctor there's no way but you didn't you called us conspiracy theorists until it was too late.
Speaker 64 But once you got there and it was too late, it no longer mattered.
Speaker 105 It had already passed.
Speaker 156 I'm in this race to tell the lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda
Speaker 146 are over.
Speaker 157 They have not funded my campaign.
Speaker 157 They will not work in my White House.
Speaker 104 They won't work in his life, other than the 64 he hired to work in his White House.
Speaker 46 And the number one person that went to visit him was Richard Trumpka.
Speaker 113 And number two, I think, was SEIU.
Speaker 11 Andy Stern.
Speaker 11 I mean,
Speaker 11 Andy Stern and his people.
Speaker 59 And where were you on the Trumpka saying, I talked to the White House every single day?
Speaker 8 Where were you on that?
Speaker 90 When we were debating health care, who was pushing it?
Speaker 88 SEIU and the AFL-CIO.
Speaker 59 And they were in touch with the White House every single day, but you didn't report on that.
Speaker 149 And when you did report on the fact that he was not going to put any of these lobbyists in the White House, it was very small and almost angelic.
Speaker 18 Well, no president can really do that at the very beginning.
Speaker 148 At least that's the way I remember it.
Speaker 96 Now, here's the next one.
Speaker 158 As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools.
Speaker 158 We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment.
Speaker 144 Not true.
Speaker 158 We refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs.
Speaker 58 And here it comes.
Speaker 131 No.
Speaker 158 We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a glap than get his hands on a computer or even a book.
Speaker 11 I mean, that's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 31 Where were you? That was racist. That was ludicrous.
Speaker 131 Where were you on that?
Speaker 67 That is the most outrageous thing you can say.
Speaker 51 At a time when
Speaker 64 country was trying to get our arms around school shootings, the president comes out and says it's easier to get a Glock than a book or a computer.
Speaker 30 Now, here's what you're thinking.
Speaker 34 What, he didn't take that.
Speaker 8 He didn't mean that literally.
Speaker 30 You just listen to the overall message.
Speaker 85 He didn't mean that literally.
Speaker 125 Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 75 Isn't that the argument that Trump people are saying?
Speaker 22 He doesn't mean that literally.
Speaker 58 It's the overall direction.
Speaker 115 Why is it okay for your side to say, I've been thinking a lot about bombing the White House and them not being marked as a terrorist?
Speaker 22 But if somebody on the right would have said, I'm thinking about blowing up the White House, they would have forever been marked as a terrorist.
Speaker 64 And if you don't think that's true, Sarah Palin, we're targeting these districts.
Speaker 58 That's the problem, Press.
Speaker 59 It's not that complex.
Speaker 19 You don't need a focus group.
Speaker 72 It's not that complex.
Speaker 32 And if there isn't someone,
Speaker 12 if there isn't someone with the authority, I warn you,
Speaker 89 either this president or the next president will start to say we need to license reporters and journalists.
Speaker 105 We need to shut down those outlets that are telling alternative facts.
Speaker 118 Now, those alternative facts are only get to be designated by the person in power.
Speaker 79 Press.
Speaker 46 You think you have the handle on the truth, but someday there will be someone in that office who says, that's not the truth.
Speaker 128 What I say is the truth.
Speaker 22 And I will deem what you can report and what you can't.
Speaker 59 Now, you will believe this now,
Speaker 37 but I've been saying the same thing and warning you of this under Barack Obama.
Speaker 118 Not about Obama.
Speaker 22 That it will be him, or the next guy, or the next guy after.
Speaker 84 I don't know who it will be.
Speaker 64 It will be this president, the next one, or the next one after if we don't fix A, the civility, and plant reason firmly in in her seat.
Speaker 19 Back in a minute.
Speaker 19 The Glenbeck Program.
Speaker 11 You're listening to the Glenbeck Program.
Speaker 83 I'm going to go to Bill in North Carolina.
Speaker 13 Hello, Bill. You're on the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 147
Thank you so much for taking my call, Glenn. I enjoy the show very much.
Thank you.
Speaker 147 And I'd like to offer just a little bit different perspective. And just you can take it for what it is.
Speaker 11 All right.
Speaker 147 When I listen to your show,
Speaker 146 and
Speaker 147 your show is based on alternative facts. I get a lot of quote-unquote facts from the news.
Speaker 147 I get quote unquote, I get facts from my liberal and progressive friends here in good old Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which is floating with them.
Speaker 147 And I use the information that I gather from your show, my own research, other shows on talk radio here in Raleigh that
Speaker 147
as an alternate, as alternate facts. That's what I say they are.
You have facts. I have alternate facts.
Speaker 11 No, there's an interpretation. No,
Speaker 11 you can know.
Speaker 98 There's a different analysis in the existing facts.
Speaker 65 There might be additional facts.
Speaker 39 Is that what you mean? Additional facts?
Speaker 147 There's additional facts, and they're just absolute alternatives to the facts that are given in other places. And you've done it, Rush, does it? Other people do it.
Speaker 11 You have to give me an example.
Speaker 147 Well, I went back and listened to the videos in the wee hours this morning. I watched the press secretary come out and do a thing.
Speaker 147 And then I also watched, but it was after I watched this ridiculous exchange, and I used the term ridiculous carefully with Chuck Todd and
Speaker 147 Kellyn Carlson.
Speaker 11 Conway.
Speaker 147 So when I went back and tried to listen carefully, some of the things he said was it was the most viewed inauguration worldwide, is what I heard him say.
Speaker 147 And that also the alternative facts were the number of people that had traveled to the area.
Speaker 147 We know here in North Carolina, we had thousands of people that they witnessed thousands of people that couldn't even get on the mall, which is fine.
Speaker 147 But the alternative facts were we had a lot of people who couldn't even get in.
Speaker 147 And you're presenting the fact that it wasn't real represented was the fact there's a picture that was taken that had less people in it.
Speaker 147 He would have given an alternative set of facts saying, we know the number of people that had traveled to the area.
Speaker 11 We know the number of people.
Speaker 11 I'm sure he got that wrong wrong too but but he got i mean those weren't factual either the numbers he quoted on the dc metro were not accurate yeah um but we've known since the million man march that the the national park service doesn't give numbers we don't know i didn't say look we're not we're not look we we're not on we're on your side on this i think it's a stupid argument to have because it doesn't matter it says nothing about president trump or his support nothing even if 15 people were there i wouldn't say anything but that's not what he was talking about.
Speaker 75 He did mention that there were people that couldn't get in.
Speaker 30 He did mention all of that.
Speaker 98 Which was, by the way,
Speaker 98 also not backed up by facts.
Speaker 107 But that is what he is saying.
Speaker 22 But Bill, he said it was the most, it was the largest inauguration in attendance ever.
Speaker 147 Now,
Speaker 147 what I heard was, and you can correct me, go back and play it again, and correct me if it's not.
Speaker 11 We're about to.
Speaker 147 Yeah, that he said that this was the most viewed.
Speaker 110 No,
Speaker 81 he said that that was an additional.
Speaker 57 He said that too, but then you would be selecting facts and playing the game.
Speaker 87 We have to deal with the fact of: is this the largest attended inaugural address ever?
Speaker 8 The answer is no.
Speaker 101 The additional fact is it doesn't matter.
Speaker 11 And it shouldn't be. It doesn't
Speaker 11 bizarre if it was.
Speaker 49 Right.
Speaker 38 It would be bizarre if it was.
Speaker 3 But
Speaker 90 here's what the press secretary said.
Speaker 159 So the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way in one particular tweet to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the national market.
Speaker 84 In one
Speaker 87 particular
Speaker 98 tweet. Now, it probably was wrongly cited in one particular tweet.
Speaker 43 One particular tweet.
Speaker 81 He didn't even cite whose. We really need to have our president take a step back and look at a bigger picture than one particular tweet.
Speaker 89 Go ahead.
Speaker 147 It was the most propagated.
Speaker 11
It doesn't matter. It's one particular tweet.
And there's more. Of course.
This was the first time our nation's been in the world.
Speaker 11 Stop.
Speaker 27 Not true. Not true.
Speaker 98 In 2013, they used them. I mean, again, there's pictures all over the internet from the time that they used the same floor coverings in 2013.
Speaker 11 So multiple inaccuracies here.
Speaker 159 That had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing on years past. But the grass eliminated this visual.
Speaker 11 That's not
Speaker 159 the first time the fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the wall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access them all as quickly as they had in inaugurations past.
Speaker 98 That's true. Secret Service says they did not use them.
Speaker 119 Wow.
Speaker 27 They did not use them.
Speaker 98 Also, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 98 they did not use them. Secret Service denies the use of magnetometers to reporters.
Speaker 11 I mean,
Speaker 147 a caller from North Carolina today did say that they had checkpoints that were manned by MPs, that they only had two people on each side letting people in individual, and that they were using different devices to check people coming in.
Speaker 147 And that's why they stood there for four hours before they went back out.
Speaker 98
And it does seem an avenue to watch. They did have some security checkpoints.
However, they've had security checkpoints in the past.
Speaker 11
So I would imagine they weren't. Okay, go ahead.
Next one.
Speaker 159 Inaccurate numbers involving crowd size were also tweeted. No one had numbers because the National Park Service, which controls the National Mall, does not put any out outside
Speaker 159 audience to ever witness an inauguration period.
Speaker 11 The largest audience to ever witness
Speaker 103 an inauguration period.
Speaker 11 Untrue,
Speaker 147 we went back and said later that he talks about the online presence.
Speaker 11 It says witness. But there's not, there's no
Speaker 103 number to measure the online viewers.
Speaker 11 Right. And there's,
Speaker 38 you can't measure that.
Speaker 41 And I will tell you that I would have a hard time.
Speaker 2 I mean, look, Bill, you seem like a reasonable guy.
Speaker 27 It is very reasonable.
Speaker 11 I'm a numbers guy. Right.
Speaker 22 It's very reasonable to say that Barack Obama was a historic first, left, right, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 11 That there were people who were there just because of it.
Speaker 144 There were people in Africa that wanted to see the first African American elected president, like huge swaths of people all around the world that will never watch another inauguration, just watched it because it was almost like the man on the moon will you agree with me
Speaker 147 of course absolutely so it may it doesn't even stand to reason to say that it was the most watched ever i'll give you an alternative theory to that too because this okay an alternative theory hang on alternative theory i'll give it blow up Honestly, people were watching this thing on their phones.
Speaker 147 People watched it on their on their computers. Trust me, where I work, they were everywhere on the computers watching this thing all day long because they were waiting for something to blow up.
Speaker 147 They were waiting for the protests to do something ridiculous. They were waiting for somebody to take a shot.
Speaker 147 They were watching this thing in numbers that I definitely did not see with the last two, even at the same job, even for something that historic.
Speaker 147 It had nothing to do with the history as much as it had to do with theatrics. It had to do with the fact that they wanted to see something blow up.
Speaker 11 But again,
Speaker 11 but that's your experience.
Speaker 11 That's your experience.
Speaker 103 Those are not national numbers. Those are not.
Speaker 11 That's your experience. And quickly,
Speaker 22 My experience was, I will tell you that my experience was just the exact opposite.
Speaker 103 Nobody around here watched it.
Speaker 22 Nobody watched it.
Speaker 115 Nobody watched it.
Speaker 11 But that's my experience.
Speaker 147 I mean, I understand.
Speaker 11 That's my experience.
Speaker 147
Even in Liberal Chapel Hill, it was loaded with people watching this guy. Some people cussing at their screen.
Yeah. Some people just, I mean, talking about it
Speaker 147 for the rest of the day, that's all they talk about. But again,
Speaker 40 that is your experience. If you're an
Speaker 11 audience, yeah.
Speaker 98 I mean, that's anecdotal evidence, which is not, you know, again, like, we know from TV ratings that it was, I believe, the fifth most watched, which is still good, right?
Speaker 98 I mean, there's nothing wrong with being the future.
Speaker 147 Nobody around here watches TV anymore.
Speaker 11 Nobody does. We're Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill.
Speaker 11 Bill,
Speaker 11 I know. Can I ask you?
Speaker 103 I thought you were a numbers guy, not an emotion guy.
Speaker 98 Yeah, I mean, it seems like everything, every time I bring up a number, we get something that's not a number from the numbers guy.
Speaker 11
I have another number. Wait, wait, wait.
Bill is numbers.
Speaker 15 Bill, can I ask a question?
Speaker 72 Yes. Why does this matter so much?
Speaker 147 I think for those of us who watch this thing blow up, and you give a different perspective on the Trump presidency than some of the other people, obviously, on Paul Freyhead.
Speaker 11 And
Speaker 147 the gauntlet that was thrown down,
Speaker 147
yes, it wasn't pretty. It wasn't smart to a certain extent.
It wasn't perfect by a long shot. But to come out of the gate and say, we're just not going to lay lay down and take a whip and
Speaker 147 let you just roll over us when you didn't do anything for the last eight years with what you just played right before it came on.
Speaker 11 That's good.
Speaker 147 You know, it's just, there are a lot of people out here that are just obviously fed up with you. You're right.
Speaker 147 It's not the best way to go about it, especially when you're throwing out a bunch of people.
Speaker 11
So I think, okay, you can't be fed up with facts. I mean, facts are facts.
Facts are facts.
Speaker 18 So, Bill, I think I understand what you're saying, and I think it plays into what Matt is about to say.
Speaker 30 Matt in Florida, go ahead.
Speaker 8 You're on the Glenbeck program.
Speaker 100 Matt, are you there?
Speaker 96 Okay, Matt's not there.
Speaker 89 What he was going to say was: Trump exaggerates because the press exaggerates.
Speaker 22 Well, my mother used to say, two wrongs don't make a right.
Speaker 152 And so we can't, if you want to have credibility, you can't exaggerate.
Speaker 65 And you can't be emotional about it.
Speaker 46 Now, I know I'm an emotional guy.
Speaker 105 I get it.
Speaker 32 But this times are too serious
Speaker 29 If we're going to come together ever,
Speaker 29 then
Speaker 39 we have to agree that there is such a thing as measurements, as facts, as math.
Speaker 81 There wasn't such a thing as math to Barack Obama.
Speaker 99 Right. I mean,
Speaker 33 it was immoral and un-American to raise the deficit, and he doubled it in eight years.
Speaker 36 Math is math.
Speaker 98 First of all, fact check. You're an emotional guy, zero Pinocchios.
Speaker 11 You nailed that one.
Speaker 98 Secondly, okay, because we could talk about every radio station you've heard when the internet started coming on used to say things like, we broadcast worldwide on the internet because theoretically someone in Uganda could, I guess, turn on the radio station in your local town.
Speaker 98 It was a sort of a BS claim and wanted to make you sound bigger. And that's sort of what Spicer's doing here, right?
Speaker 98 Like, okay, because he said after he said period in the clip we played, he said both in person and worldwide. So he said in person as the biggest ever.
Speaker 79 Period. Period.
Speaker 150 However,
Speaker 98 those are claims, the worldwide claim, yes, we don't know the exact amount of people who streamed it on God only knows how many sites were out there with technology that wasn't available previously.
Speaker 98 You know, you can make claims like that. But here's one you can't make.
Speaker 150 Okay.
Speaker 98
This is a quote from Sean Spicer. We know that 420,000 people used the DC Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama's last inaugural.
Okay.
Speaker 98 The actual numbers for President Obama's last inaugural was 783,000, not 317. So 783,000, he lied completely on that number.
Speaker 98
And for Trump, it wasn't 420,000, it was 571,000. So Obama 2013, 783,000.
Trump this year, 571,000. Then 1.1 million for Obama in 2009.
So 1.1 million is double Trump's number from this past week.
Speaker 98 The actual number for an average day on the DC Metro is 639,000 trips, which is more than Trump's from the inauguration day. Does that mean anything about Trump's presidency?
Speaker 87 No, it means nothing.
Speaker 98 He might be the greatest president of all time. Who cares if local people in that area where he got 4% of the vote showed up to his inauguration? Who cares?
Speaker 98 The point is, why lie about it when you have actual people in organizations that report the numbers all the time? He's trying to do something different, Glenn.
Speaker 150 There's another goal here.
Speaker 98 And remember, all of that that you heard was in a prepared statement. It wasn't like he was caught off guard with some random question where he tried to fudge his way through it.
Speaker 98 That was a prepared statement to start the press conference.
Speaker 11 All right, so look.
Speaker 87 It's insanity. So here's what's happened.
Speaker 11 Here's what's happened.
Speaker 99 What were we planning on talking about this hour?
Speaker 11 Do you remember?
Speaker 98 I don't listen to you in the break, so no. I know.
Speaker 11 Do you remember? This hour.
Speaker 115 Chuck Todd and the press.
Speaker 39
Yeah. And the way the press has turned this around.
I made one comment at the top, and we talked about it before we went on the air.
Speaker 64 Should we mention
Speaker 69 what Spicer said?
Speaker 120 Yes, because we have to be fair.
Speaker 89 We have to say he did that.
Speaker 100 Now, let's concentrate on Chuck Todd.
Speaker 55 The calls are all coming in about Spicer and defending the alternative fact.
Speaker 69 Do you see what you've just done?
Speaker 91 Donald Trump has taken the argument away.
Speaker 52 You are defending
Speaker 43 a alternative fact instead of saying,
Speaker 100 look at how the press has reported this.
Speaker 31 It's foolish.
Speaker 85 You're giving them ammunition.
Speaker 42 Just
Speaker 81 be happy with the facts as they are.
Speaker 54 It was strong enough.
Speaker 43 It was good.
Speaker 77 It doesn't have to be God.
Speaker 144 Just let it be.

Speaker 8 Gonna take some phone calls today.
Speaker 160 We have Tim Ballard who's gonna stop by and talk about Operation Rescue Our Children.
Speaker 21 It's Operation Underground Railroad.
Speaker 21 Some really fascinating things going on with that. Also, Facebook,
Speaker 21 Facebook Live broadcast a gang rape of a woman in Sweden this weekend.
Speaker 86 Gwyneth Paltrow, she loves women.
Speaker 21 She suggests that
Speaker 155 women go out and buy a jade egg
Speaker 16 and
Speaker 100 put it someplace and leave it there all day.
Speaker 11 Oh, really?
Speaker 21 Yeah, it's a bizarre story. Gwyneth Paltrow, what happened?
Speaker 67 Was she always this weird...
Speaker 83 And by the way, did you see the video of what's his name?
Speaker 112 Shia LaBeouf or LaBiff or Shia LaBeouf.
Speaker 140
Yeah. Or Biff or Biff.
Did you see?
Speaker 67 Like he was a rabid dog.
Speaker 50 Did you see that video?
Speaker 21 I just saw the headline.
Speaker 11 I didn't have anything.
Speaker 105 Like a rabid dog.
Speaker 42 Just full.
Speaker 128 Full frontal crazy.
Speaker 21 Also, an investigation into Tesla and their autopilot.
Speaker 21 Tesla said that they were going to bring out, you know, fully self-driving cars.
Speaker 21 They were
Speaker 21 under investigation by the government to see if they were safe. What do you suppose the government said?
Speaker 112 Everything's perfect?
Speaker 58 Not a problem. Not a problem.
Speaker 18 Some interesting data from the government on
Speaker 21 Tesla and their auto-drive cars.
Speaker 112 Coming up in a second.
Speaker 19 Also, Rand Paul's Paul's SmackDown of Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 69 Are we a compassionate society?
Speaker 21 He makes a great case. We begin there right now.
Speaker 11 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.
Speaker 21 Yeah,
Speaker 21
there's a couple of stories. Jeffy just read the Gwyneth Paltrow story.
It's fantastic, isn't it, Jeffy? It is great.
Speaker 11 It's fantastic.
Speaker 11 It is.
Speaker 86 We are living on an alternate universe. Do not look it up, Pat.
Speaker 11
Do not know. I don't do.
Then I have to start there.
Speaker 11 Then I have to start there.
Speaker 11 Then I'm going to start right here. I'm going to start with it.
Speaker 31 I'm going to start with it.
Speaker 3 I'll get to the Rand Paul thing.
Speaker 84 It wasn't long ago when Gwyneth Paltrow raved about the benefits of.
Speaker 88 I'm going to be very technical here.
Speaker 98 Probably not a good idea. It's not a good idea.
Speaker 11 I have no idea what it is.
Speaker 8 With a steaming of your private parts.
Speaker 58 How's that? Okay.
Speaker 11
For women. Wait, steam? Steaming.
Non-scientifically proven process of sitting over a hot pot of boiling water filled with herbs for up to 45 minutes.
Speaker 11 I told you, man.
Speaker 11
I told you that. really? Come on.
Yes. Women should do that.
Speaker 104 Sit over a hot pot of boiling water with herbs for 45 minutes to cleanse your uterus.
Speaker 140 That's awesome.
Speaker 38 And to balance your female
Speaker 118 hormone levels.
Speaker 140 Oh, my God.
Speaker 98 People will do anything.
Speaker 105 Oh, my gosh.
Speaker 69 She is.
Speaker 11 She's crazy.
Speaker 103 I can't tell you the number of times I came home and found my wife standing on top of our stove.
Speaker 11 Boil you water. I said, honey,
Speaker 11 she doesn't even.
Speaker 11 Well, I said, honey, why don't you come down off the stone? Oh, no, I've got another five minutes.
Speaker 11 Is it cleansing time again?
Speaker 11 I have to tell you something. It's the third time this week.
Speaker 55 That doesn't sound safe or sanitary.
Speaker 11
No, does it? No, neither one of those two things. No.
I mean, the burns that one might get. What a dumb thing.
Speaker 98 I mean, boiling water, too.
Speaker 11 I mean,
Speaker 11 pops off.
Speaker 2 Oh, no, it's bad.
Speaker 98 That's a bad.
Speaker 11 I mean,
Speaker 11 it will go above the water level.
Speaker 98 Like, there's bubbles. Okay,
Speaker 11 she doesn't say hot water. She doesn't say, you know, that's hot.
Speaker 98 Okay, she doesn't say boiling. Okay.
Speaker 3 So, most recently, her lifestyle website, Goop,
Speaker 11 which
Speaker 19 is a little bit more.
Speaker 11
She has a lifestyle website called Goop. Oh, don't pretend like GooDo.com.subscribe.
Come on, you're on Goops.
Speaker 11 Come on.
Speaker 50 That's your homepage. G-O-O-P.
Speaker 11 Goop is your homepage, Stu.
Speaker 106 I don't know it is.
Speaker 11 Come on.
Speaker 52 This is the one that had the
Speaker 62 website that promoted the
Speaker 90 steaming. The steaming, okay.
Speaker 76 Anyway,
Speaker 64 she's out again on goop with some new advice for women.
Speaker 113 And the new advice is that you need to go out and buy a jade egg.
Speaker 11 Okay. Okay.
Speaker 46 It's a solid, made of solid jade,
Speaker 55 at least the size of a golf ball.
Speaker 2 I'm just afraid of what's coming all right you're supposed to put a jade egg I don't know but if you're Gwyneth Paltrow yeah you don't care you don't care let the why doesn't everybody have a jade egg right
Speaker 98 that's true come on that's like a yeah looks like you can go anywhere from 40 to 140 sort of dollars in that general is that a real jade egg I don't know
Speaker 98 I don't know what I think you have to have a real jade egg I mean there are a bunch of jade eggs
Speaker 98 advertised. Okay.
Speaker 112 Doop is probably selling them.
Speaker 11 You know what? I bet they are. I bet they are.
Speaker 12 Anyway, she suggests that you put that,
Speaker 98 you insert that inside of yourself
Speaker 11 and keep it there all day or while you're sleeping. Oh, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 56 For $66 a piece, the jade eggs, once the strictly guarded secret of Chinese queens and concubines to please their emperors
Speaker 92 will help you boost things and increase muscle tone and hormone balance and feminine energy in general.
Speaker 138 So they're only like 50 bucks you said still?
Speaker 98 I will say right now you're thinking to yourself, I should Google that. I should Google the goop thing in the stupid site and see if they talk about jade eggs, which of course they do.
Speaker 98 However, you may, if you're at work, you may want to avoid the diagrams they have created to show you exactly what they do.
Speaker 11 They gotta know what to do with it.
Speaker 160 I have to tell you,
Speaker 11 I wish I could insert a Jade Egg in me just
Speaker 11 so at some point I could laugh so hard I would lay a Jade Egg.
Speaker 11 That'd be funny.
Speaker 155 Imagine walking down
Speaker 11 the wearing a skirt, walking down the run, and just an egg falls out of you.
Speaker 11
You know that's gonna happen. Oh, yeah, oh my gosh.
Oh, that would be
Speaker 11 watching for going.
Speaker 149 Why are you walking so weird? Oh, I've got a Jade Egg.
Speaker 2 Jade Egg. Jade Egg Day.
Speaker 11 Oh, no, this answers.
Speaker 98 It can cause toxic shocks.
Speaker 11
Oh, yeah, no, they say it's really bad. No, no.
I don't want to do this. What?
Speaker 71 I am happy to say I don't believe anyone in our audience would ever do this.
Speaker 138 It causes that even after steaming?
Speaker 11
I'm not sure if that's the same thing. Now, the combination of the two, I don't know.
No, okay. No, that's not covered.
Speaker 70 So steaming would make bacteria grow even more, would it not?
Speaker 11 Not with the special herbs and spices you put in the water.
Speaker 103 It's not like there's 11 of them, just like Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Speaker 11
You know, just get a bucket of chicken, pour some hot water over it. Chicken in the boiling water.
And then just stand over it. You got a reggae.
Speaker 11 Now you're talking parsley.
Speaker 138 Now you're talking.
Speaker 151 You just have to crouch down close to the chicken
Speaker 11 and then serve it to the kids.
Speaker 11 All right, go ahead.
Speaker 98 So you might be worried about certain safety features. Sure.
Speaker 11 Jade egg.
Speaker 98 It might be a little strange. Right.
Speaker 98 They have a QA to help you go through this
Speaker 11 process.
Speaker 98 Can the egg get stuck or lost?
Speaker 11 No,
Speaker 86 is this in the article called Jade Eggs for Your Yanni?
Speaker 98 Yes, Yoni?
Speaker 11 Is it Yoni? I don't.
Speaker 98 Yanni was the
Speaker 11 musician.
Speaker 11 I think it's Yoni.
Speaker 98 This is the most common question.
Speaker 127 No, it can't get lost.
Speaker 98 But these ones have a hole drilled in them, which you can then thread with unwaxed floss
Speaker 98 to make it easier to take out
Speaker 98 and to generally ease any anxiety about it.
Speaker 98 So you just got to put the floss in there.
Speaker 79 So it's like the other thing.
Speaker 76 And thread that women have to use.
Speaker 11 Wow.
Speaker 137 I wish she was marching this weekend.
Speaker 98 That's a weird freaking thing. And yes, by the way, every doctor in America is saying,
Speaker 11 don't do this.
Speaker 98 Whatever you do. But again, we're in that point where, I mean, we are in a post-factor.
Speaker 11 They've got alternate facts.
Speaker 98 And they talk about this all the time. They're going to sit here and bash Kellyanne Conway for saying alternative facts all day.
Speaker 98 But I mean, this is the sort of stuff the left does all the time, particularly with medicine and the environment. No, no, no.
Speaker 141 These things. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 69 Look, you are such a science denier.
Speaker 11
I am. The Chinese.
The scientists are saying.
Speaker 105 No, you
Speaker 59 Chinese medicine trumps all.
Speaker 98
Chinese medicine is such a weird thing. It's like, maybe this made sense in like 1800, like an ancient Chinese secret.
If it was good, we would have been doing it a long time ago.
Speaker 138 Correct, it wouldn't have been kept a secret.
Speaker 14 Right.
Speaker 11 Here's the thing.
Speaker 48 I saw an article this weekend, and I didn't even click it.
Speaker 8 I read the headline, and all I said was no,
Speaker 79 and I moved on with my life.
Speaker 38 I couldn't believe somebody actually took the time, I think it was on HuffPo, to actually write the article, Is it time we begin to eat crickets?
Speaker 11 I saw that too. Oh, well, that's no.
Speaker 103 And now you had the same response.
Speaker 11
No, it's not. Now you need to read your stupid article.
It's not.
Speaker 138 But for the past five years or so, maybe longer, but for sure the past five or six years, the United Nations has been a strong proponent of eating bugs around the world and wanting the United States to come along that road.
Speaker 76 Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 38 I don't think so.
Speaker 62 Insect insect eating because it's a food source and food is
Speaker 96 oh, yeah, no, high in protein.
Speaker 138 You can't find food in America. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 96 There are other animals that eat bugs.
Speaker 59 Man is not one of them.
Speaker 16 So, all right.
Speaker 105 Now, this may sound like we're not compassionate to those who want jade eggs and to eat crickets,
Speaker 11 but
Speaker 18 that's only if you listen to Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 75 Here's Bernie Sanders
Speaker 115 talking about how
Speaker 93 not compassionate Americans are.
Speaker 161 The United States of America
Speaker 161
is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all people as a right. Dang proud of that.
Canada does it. Every major country in Europe comes.
Speaker 11 No, they don't.
Speaker 103 First of all, Canada is not a major country. Can we get that straight?
Speaker 11 Canada is a country.
Speaker 11 Stu is.
Speaker 98 I'm very upset about that.
Speaker 98 However, too, you have to remember, notice the words he uses. Guarantees health care.
Speaker 11 No, they don't.
Speaker 98
They absolutely don't care healthcare. They guarantee you to believe you have insurance.
Whether you can get in care or not is a completely different issue.
Speaker 33 If healthcare around the world, like the Chinese, ancient Chinese secret, if it was so good, capitalism would embrace it.
Speaker 46 The market would run towards it. If it was so great, we would all run towards it.
Speaker 53 It's not good.
Speaker 77 Here's who it's good for.
Speaker 11 It's good for the very lowest of poverty levels because they get something.
Speaker 11 Well,
Speaker 72 they already got something.
Speaker 31 They already could go to the hospital.
Speaker 47 Now, that's breaking the hospital system.
Speaker 68 But let's fix that problem.
Speaker 79 Okay?
Speaker 73 So it's good for the very
Speaker 98 Medicaid, by the way, which is a giant government system specifically designed to help those people who get insurance.
Speaker 31 So there you go. You already have the bottom of the ladder.
Speaker 9 The top of the ladder, they don't care.
Speaker 50 They'll get health care.
Speaker 38 They'll just pay for it.
Speaker 36 They'll just go out and I need to go see a doctor.
Speaker 88 Okay, I'll write a check.
Speaker 61 So the top of the healthcare, they don't care.
Speaker 44 Who does it hurt?
Speaker 75 Everyone in between.
Speaker 68 That's what socialized medicine does.
Speaker 75 Hurts everyone in between.
Speaker 16 It's bad.
Speaker 11 All right, anyway. I believe that healthcare is a right of all Americans, whether they're rich or they're poor.
Speaker 34 This is why it's important.
Speaker 22 This is why it is important to understand that we are based on the Declaration of Independence.
Speaker 100 Our rights come from our creator.
Speaker 44 Now, how do we get a right of health care from our Creator?
Speaker 4 We don't.
Speaker 33 There's no way.
Speaker 57 I'm trying to think of any way you could interpret anything in nature to tell you that you have a right to health care.
Speaker 103 May I also ask how it's compassionate for any country forced to provide health care for anyone else, how is that compassion? It's not.
Speaker 98 I've been forced.
Speaker 103 I didn't volunteer that money.
Speaker 11 And it makes you less compassionate act.
Speaker 34 It makes you less compassionate.
Speaker 22 Our nurses and doctors here in America, I believe, are the most compassionate in some of them in the world.
Speaker 11 They're great.
Speaker 111 They're really great. They're great.
Speaker 96 And why?
Speaker 120 Because they have a desire to do it.
Speaker 11 And the things they do are
Speaker 79 remarkable.
Speaker 11 Remarkable.
Speaker 103 And
Speaker 103 at least in our recent experience, they all did it with such professionalism and compassion.
Speaker 59 Now, you could go over to the Netherlands and say, well, the Netherlands, they have better health care.
Speaker 33 Well, in some ways, they might. In some ways, they might.
Speaker 31 But could we just look at the Netherlands here for a second?
Speaker 33 If you look at Sweden, up until recently, it was the most homogenized group of people of all time.
Speaker 105 Let's see.
Speaker 145 They're all white, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, with the same background and culture.
Speaker 54 It's not hard to move one group of people who are all exactly alike and fit them into this little package.
Speaker 52 Now that they have to serve two cultures, it's completely falling apart.
Speaker 32 America is the entire world coming together.
Speaker 57 It doesn't work.
Speaker 71 It's harder to do things in America.
Speaker 33 There is no one who is as as diverse as this country is in thought and in lifestyle.
Speaker 101 And that's good.
Speaker 86 Why should I celebrate diversity in everything except when it really counts?
Speaker 29 Celebrate diverse answers in math with Common Core?
Speaker 144 No.
Speaker 11 No.
Speaker 103 There's more.
Speaker 161 Should people, because they are Americans, be able to go to the doctor when they need to, be able to go into a hospital because because they are Americans.
Speaker 152 Yes, we're a compassionate society.
Speaker 161 No, we are not a compassionate society. In terms of our relationship to poor and working people, our record is worse than virtually any other country on earth.
Speaker 11 I mean, that's such a sense on the bus.
Speaker 98 Should they be able to go to the doctors when they want to? That's the exact thing socialized medicine can't accomplish. You die.
Speaker 150 There's long term.
Speaker 22 If you want socialized medicine, we have it.
Speaker 31 Are we compassionate to our veterans?
Speaker 31 No.
Speaker 69 That's socialized medicine.
Speaker 33 There it is.
Speaker 63 That's what, what, when they finally kill the free market
Speaker 133 and we only have a single payer healthcare system, that's what it is.
Speaker 54 That is the least compassionate.
Speaker 27 All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

Speaker 27 So at PattonStew.com today,
Speaker 39 the Douche Hall of Fame.
Speaker 98 Biggest moment, I mean, I would say in the history of the show.
Speaker 11 Yeah.
Speaker 98 And this is a big moment.
Speaker 11 This is a big moment.
Speaker 98 It's a top five moment in the history of the country.
Speaker 11
It's historic. It's not just big.
It's historic.
Speaker 132 This will be the biggest crowd ever assembled on planet Earth for anything.
Speaker 76 For anything. Period.
Speaker 11
Yeah. Period.
Period. We've assembled everybody for this.
Speaker 76 All right.
Speaker 11 We've assembled them all in their respective places.
Speaker 98 Or worldwide because it's on the internet.
Speaker 11 Okay.
Speaker 52 So anyway, it's the Douche Hall of Fame induction of...
Speaker 98 Well, not induction.
Speaker 11 The vote to see if he will be inducted into the Douche Hall of Fame Barack Obama.
Speaker 98 Now, you might say to yourself, well, how the heck did Barack Obama get through his entire presidency without getting into the Douche Hall of Fame? No sitting president.
Speaker 98
No sitting president can be inducted into the Douche Hall of Fame. We had to wait until he's finally out of office.
We've been talking talking about this for years. It's an exciting day.
Speaker 98
Remember, there are two things that are interesting. Number one, you need to get 95% to get into the Douche Hall of Fame.
95% of the vote.
Speaker 98 So this is much more difficult than getting into the crappy baseball hall of fame or whatever that is.
Speaker 139 That's really hard, actually.
Speaker 98
It's very difficult to do. And there has never been anyone who has received 100% of the vote.
It won't happen this way. We've had 99% of the vote.
Speaker 11 Don't you?
Speaker 76 No, there'll always be somebody who's just like, I'm not, I'm just, I want him in the Douche Hall of Fame, but I'm not going to let it be unanimous.
Speaker 98 Well, there are purists like that. You'll notice there's never been a unanimous vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame either, which there obviously should have been.
Speaker 98
Now, we have people who Anthony Wiener got 99%, for example. No one's ever had 100%.
Barack Obama has that chance today in one of the most momentous moments in probably our nation's history.
Speaker 11 I don't want to go to stating that.
Speaker 122 That might be an alternate fact.
Speaker 105 Patentandstew.com.com.
Speaker 112 Patentstew.com.
Speaker 19 Back in a minute.
Speaker 19 The Glenbeck Program.
Speaker 11 Mercury. The Glenn Beck Program.
Speaker 160 Pat is trying to figure out the catch.
Speaker 103 I really am because
Speaker 103 I just it took you up on on your offer to go to upside down.com and check it out. And I haven't even coupled, I haven't even paired the
Speaker 103 flight with the hotel yet for even extra savings
Speaker 103 and found a flight from Dallas to Salt Lake City.
Speaker 117 Which you have to go to this week, or somebody in your family has to.
Speaker 137 Yeah.
Speaker 11 Yeah.
Speaker 103 For $480 first class.
Speaker 46 $480 first class?
Speaker 11 How much is it usually?
Speaker 11
$1,000? $1,000? $1,100, $1,200? Holy cow. That's huge.
Yeah, that's huge.
Speaker 149 And you haven't coupled it with the hotel yet.
Speaker 39 Haven't even done that yet.
Speaker 100 When you couple it with a hotel, the interesting thing about this is you couple it with a hotel, and then they'll give you options.
Speaker 117 You know, if you're willing to go an extra 10 minutes and maybe just take an Uber
Speaker 117 because you're not staying in the hotel that your convention's at or whatever, you couple it with another hotel.
Speaker 107 It gives you options to say you want to save more money.
Speaker 22 The lower you drive the price, which your company is going to like, the more incentive they give you by giving you money in Amazon gift cards.
Speaker 33 I mean,
Speaker 22 this is such an amazing thing to make to make money, to save money for the company and to make money for you.
Speaker 45 It's the, it's the greatest thing.
Speaker 22 Everybody in this scenario wins.
Speaker 71 The hotel wins, the airlines win, you win, your company wins, Amazon wins.
Speaker 59 How does this, how is this bad?
Speaker 98 I think it's great. I mean, I've never, I mean, it is one of those things that you sit there and you're like,
Speaker 98 what exactly is what's happening here?
Speaker 11 Right. Because it's too good.
Speaker 11 Right. It's, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 50 So I asked, so the guy who started this is the guy who started Priceline.
Speaker 59 And I asked him, I said,
Speaker 11 okay,
Speaker 22 if I'm my listener and I know I'm going to ask you the same thing because this is all I'm thinking.
Speaker 58 And I know my listeners have to think, what's the catch here?
Speaker 149 And he's like, no catch.
Speaker 112 We use the major airlines because we know that we're trying to appeal to business travelers.
Speaker 125 So we're not going to put you on a crappy airline.
Speaker 122 So they'll use the major airlines and great hotels.
Speaker 96 And I'm like, yeah, right.
Speaker 39 So how is it?
Speaker 142 Because he started Priceline.
Speaker 22 How is it Priceline did this?
Speaker 125 And you are clobbering them in prices?
Speaker 22 And he says it's the combination of the two.
Speaker 136 He said, if you combine the hotel and the airfare, both of them will give a lower rate.
Speaker 141 And
Speaker 59 the airline isn't having to say, I cut the rate X number of dollars.
Speaker 122 Right. You know, so
Speaker 22 nobody knows who's cutting.
Speaker 11 the rate.
Speaker 45 Is it the airline or is it the is it the hotel?
Speaker 137 You know what I mean?
Speaker 98 I know too, they, you know, Business travelers love the AI because you get obsessed with points when you do a lot of business travel.
Speaker 98 And so everyone wants to book the travel on their card so they can get the points and then spend the points on their own, even though it's the company paying for all the trips.
Speaker 98 But here, I mean, if you can start racking up $200 Amazon gift cards, that's
Speaker 11
pretty sweet. I think that's better than points.
Oh, it's way better than points.
Speaker 98 You can get actual dollars. Points are fake dollars.
Speaker 98 They get you excited. You have 975,000 points, which is $9.75 of actual money.
Speaker 48 So I have I have I've never spent my points.
Speaker 22 I've been a member since like 1996.
Speaker 122 I've never spent my Amex points.
Speaker 106 Oh my.
Speaker 11 Oh, holy crap.
Speaker 11 I can't even imagine.
Speaker 98 Don't tell us, but I can't even imagine how many points you have.
Speaker 11 There's a move over there. Everything, almost.
Speaker 98 All the business stuff is there.
Speaker 11 All the business stuff.
Speaker 12 When I had to buy studio stuff, I just put it on the Amex.
Speaker 122 I mean, it was all on my personal Amex.
Speaker 98 You travel free for the rest of your life.
Speaker 7 No.
Speaker 76 No. What? No? No.
Speaker 34 I started spending some of it, and I'm like, all right, well, we could buy a really nice patio set, and we could go here, and we could do this, but it's not, I mean, the points are not
Speaker 11 for all of those years?
Speaker 76 Yeah.
Speaker 98
Oh, my gosh. That's unbelievable.
It's pretty amazing.
Speaker 30 You've had some stolen.
Speaker 76 Pretty amazing, huh?
Speaker 138 You've had some stolen.
Speaker 84 I don't know if you have to use them.
Speaker 76 Tanya's been using them. Not telling you.
Speaker 85 Thank you for planting that seed.
Speaker 11 What is it?
Speaker 22 No man shall put asunder?
Speaker 3 What was that part of that? I don't know how to remember.
Speaker 98 Yeah, because I think, I mean, honestly, with just the amount of dollars you've spent
Speaker 98 putting into this particular room we now sit in, which is now all redecorated.
Speaker 38 I will tell you, thank youoverstock.com.
Speaker 48 Everything in this room, with the exception of the art, overstock.
Speaker 8 Everything. Wow.
Speaker 11 I noticed there's
Speaker 138 where's the plaques for the Douche Hall of Fame.
Speaker 52 There's no place for the plaque, darn it.
Speaker 112 No place for the plaque.
Speaker 71 It's when all of this furniture came in.
Speaker 122 It sat in the hallway, and everybody was, I think everybody thought I was insane.
Speaker 62 They were like,
Speaker 90 none of this works.
Speaker 82 I don't see this coming together.
Speaker 76 And I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 30 Trust me, it'll work.
Speaker 98 Well, this is your game right now.
Speaker 98 I mean, you know.
Speaker 98 You might know this by listening to the show, but Glenn cares much more about how the set looks than the actual show.
Speaker 121 So
Speaker 98 this is your passion, I would say. You love this.
Speaker 76 Yeah, I do. You do.
Speaker 78 And I'd like to go decorate somebody's house.
Speaker 11 I was thinking,
Speaker 59 maybe we could get Overstock just to do a show where I go to some listener's house and let me fix, let me, let me, let me change your house.
Speaker 11 That would be great.
Speaker 84 Because
Speaker 97 I've done all of the sets for the Blaze.
Speaker 78 Yeah. All of the sets have been.
Speaker 103 And as long as you have a blank check, it would be great.
Speaker 105 Right.
Speaker 34 That's the secret.
Speaker 11 That's the key, isn't it?
Speaker 33 That's the secret.
Speaker 31 Yeah.
Speaker 38 Being able to go, yeah, I mean, sure, you get those guys.
Speaker 22 If you're on a $2,000 budget, you're going to have to get one of those guys guys from HGTV.
Speaker 31 Right.
Speaker 2 But if we have an unlimited budget, oh, I can make your house look sweet.
Speaker 98 Because that is exactly it. All of us would say we've imagined our entire life playing in the major leagues, being the person who catches the ball in the end zone to go to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 98 I would love to go to a listener's house and decorate their family rooms.
Speaker 11 Being in curiosity, that's a decorator.
Speaker 21 That has not been a dream of mine.
Speaker 11 Oh, my God.
Speaker 98 Well, it's what you would leave and do, right?
Speaker 98 If I was going to leave this life and I could go throw knuckleballs for the Toronto Blue Jays, I'd be thrilled with the world. I can't do those things.
Speaker 98 If you could leave this life and not worry about money and not worry about doing anything and just disappear into the middle and just be a middle America
Speaker 98 where you start to deal with annoying coastal elites and go to middle America and decorate people's family rooms, you'd be thrilled with that life. At least in theory.
Speaker 11 Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 52 No, it would be too much like Frank Lloyd Wright.
Speaker 48 I would be like, you ever heard the the story of Frank Lloyd Wright when when he
Speaker 35 that you didn't tell him what you wanted.
Speaker 34 He let the earth speak to him.
Speaker 18 So he would go on the ground and he would be like, this is what the ground is saying this building needs to be.
Speaker 120 And so he'd make beautiful places, but you want to sit in them or live in them.
Speaker 97 It's not so easy.
Speaker 56 So this woman went to him and said, look,
Speaker 118 I only have one request.
Speaker 97 I have a lot of art and I just want space to hang my art.
Speaker 18 Someplace there has to be space to hang my art.
Speaker 11 Fine.
Speaker 11 So she's not allowed to see the house until it's finished. Okay.
Speaker 11 Frank Lloyd Wright.
Speaker 96 Fine. Not a good answer.
Speaker 121 So she comes.
Speaker 89 There is not one place, no wall.
Speaker 91 He's built it so every single wall cannot have art on it.
Speaker 63 And she's walking through and she's like,
Speaker 15 You know, I have a lot of art here.
Speaker 88 Yeah,
Speaker 34 I fixed that for you.
Speaker 10 It's over here.
Speaker 19 You walk through this area and you go into this separate, like, room all by itself.
Speaker 44 And he's built easels in the center and a staircase with a second-floor balcony.
Speaker 18 So, if you want to see the art, go upstairs, stand on the balcony, and look down at the art.
Speaker 11 Crazy, crazy.
Speaker 39 I think I'd be too much like that.
Speaker 106 Oh, man.
Speaker 138 Oh, I doubt that.
Speaker 138 Please, we look at Facebook pictures of families and go, oh, that's a nice looking family.
Speaker 11 And you go, man, they could use new curtains.
Speaker 89 Shut up.
Speaker 31 Okay.
Speaker 31 Very true.
Speaker 11 It's true.
Speaker 11 Well,
Speaker 82 I'm proud to be different.
Speaker 98 It's called diversity. Yeah.
Speaker 113 By the way, if you're watching us on TV, all of the art
Speaker 22 I've done, and I think I'm going to sell them

Speaker 160 Now, on the Douche Hall of Fame,
Speaker 19 do you make the case? Have you already made the case?
Speaker 98
We've been making it over the past week. And of course, over the past eight years, we've been making the case strongly.
But we've been making the
Speaker 98
reminded people. We have more of that today on Patton Stew.
PattonStew.com, by the way, is where you can vote on the Douche Hall of Fame induction of Barack Obama.
Speaker 98 Very important day in our nation's history.
Speaker 98 I think an important day for world history.
Speaker 116 This is the first time a president's name will appear on the Douche Hall of Fame plaque.
Speaker 98 There's some technicalities we shouldn't get into here on that particular thing. But yes, I mean, the question is, then Joe Biden would become eligible as well.
Speaker 76 It's another
Speaker 98 thing we can discuss. Hillary Clinton is in, the Duchess Hall of Fame.
Speaker 98 We inducted her the day before the election just in case she was in.
Speaker 11 Just in case.
Speaker 11 She
Speaker 11 it was kind of.
Speaker 103 She only got in on 96%.
Speaker 98 96% of the vote.
Speaker 103 We thought she might be the first 100% vote, but obviously she fell short. Now, will Barack Obama get in with 100% of the vote? I don't know.
Speaker 12 It's an exciting show to us.
Speaker 33 It's an exciting show. Do you give give the stats right away?
Speaker 76 Oh, yeah.
Speaker 141 Wow. As they're coming in?
Speaker 84 Yes.
Speaker 11 Or do you wait until all polls closed? Well,
Speaker 11 you wait until the poll is closed.
Speaker 98 There's a one-minute voting period.
Speaker 45 One minute. One minute.
Speaker 11 So, how many calls do you take?
Speaker 145 Or how many people are in the future?
Speaker 11 Oh, it's also on the feed.
Speaker 11 How many on the feed? Many.
Speaker 11 Many thousands, really.
Speaker 62 For this particular vote, there'll probably be millions.
Speaker 11 Probably millions.
Speaker 62 Probably the biggest vote of all time.
Speaker 98
Yeah, there was about 130 million votes cast in the U.S. election.
We do expect to exceed that on the due to Halo Fame vote.
Speaker 122 That might not be true.
Speaker 62 Let's go to Chris in Alabama.
Speaker 11 Hello, Chris.
Speaker 147 Hi, guys.
Speaker 11
Hi. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Speaker 147 Yeah, I just want to say, I figured out now why my husband gave me a jade necklace for Christmas.
Speaker 147 He also gave me a pot of hot water and some herbs. I went in the kitchen, put on my necklace, and made him soup.
Speaker 11 What can I say?
Speaker 11 Yikes. Thank you, Chris.
Speaker 12 I appreciate it.
Speaker 11 It's It's kind of icky in its context.
Speaker 22 Yes, if you know the context, and I don't think we need to explain it here.
Speaker 58 If you missed it, you can go back to the third hour of the podcast today.
Speaker 123 And
Speaker 11 just say
Speaker 107 it involves Gwyneth Paltrow and some things that she is suggesting people do now.
Speaker 76 Let me go to Kendra.
Speaker 84 Hello, Kendra. You're on the Glen Beck program.
Speaker 162 Hi, Glenn. Hi.
Speaker 162 I am a true feminist who voted for Trump.
Speaker 162 And
Speaker 162 I
Speaker 162 was kind of irritated with the press conference because
Speaker 162 with the inaugural numbers because I just feel like the press is gonna lie about him and he needs to save his protestations for the big things
Speaker 162 because
Speaker 162 he can't give them any more ammunition they're already gonna be after him and I like that he's not PC, but I feel in this case he kind of needs to show a little more restraint with some of his knee-jerk reactions.
Speaker 127 What you're saying maybe is pick your battles.
Speaker 147 Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 162 I have to do it as a mother all the time.
Speaker 11 Yes, we all do.
Speaker 27 We all do.
Speaker 108 So, you're a feminist.
Speaker 98 What did you think about the march this weekend?
Speaker 162 Um, well, I believe that those are fake feminists.
Speaker 162 Um, by true feminists, I mean I believe in the God-given rights of all women, including the unborn ones,
Speaker 162 and I believe in
Speaker 162 you know, women being held in high esteem as
Speaker 162 we have differences from men, and that's what makes it beautiful. You know, we, if we're equal to men, then it doesn't,
Speaker 162 God made us to be different to complement each other. And so
Speaker 162
that's why I call myself a true feminist. Those women yesterday, I have never seen so much hate and confusion and all the trash they left afterwards.
And,
Speaker 162 you know,
Speaker 162 i i feel very strongly about you know
Speaker 162 why would they march to kill babies that's essentially what they were doing and if we took all those babies and killed them on the steps of the capitol in washington dc
Speaker 162 there would be public outcry i would hope so i would hope so also yeah i don't even know anymore
Speaker 162 behind closed doors
Speaker 98 we can just close our eyes and quick one more question for you kendra before you leave as a feminist how do you feel about jade eggs
Speaker 162 I think that you should keep that between you and your spouse.
Speaker 11 Okay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 98 You don't have to go any further.
Speaker 162 Probably you should listen to your doctor.
Speaker 11 Yeah, okay. I think we're on the same page.
Speaker 27 Yeah, we don't need to go any further.
Speaker 14 Kendra, thank you so much.
Speaker 11 I appreciate it. You know,
Speaker 48 to make her point on the differences, yesterday we got up.
Speaker 107 Cheyenne came to the breakfast table and she said, mom and I, mom went upstairs and she said, mom and I laid in bed and we just talked about our dreams this morning.
Speaker 137 And Rafey and I had gotten up and we were sitting around and we were talking about guy stuff.
Speaker 78 And we were, you know, talking about some serious stuff, but the way two guys would talk about it.
Speaker 98 Did you have a translator so you could understand what Rafe was saying?
Speaker 11 Shut up.
Speaker 59 And I looked, my wife came down and I said, this is
Speaker 75 why a male and female are important.
Speaker 34 There are things that Rafe and I talk about and ways we talk about it that are just different than with any of my girls.
Speaker 22 And, you know, I've never sat in the bed with my daughter, talked about our dreams.
Speaker 19 You know, maybe I should, but it just hasn't happened.
Speaker 22 And there's just a difference in approach, and they're both so important,
Speaker 22 not minimizing either of them.
Speaker 21 Why is it we can't get people to see that?
Speaker 11 This is the Glenn Beck Program,
Speaker 129 Mercury.
