Glenn's Trump Administration Hope 1/18/17

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Speaker 4 The key to having a great day starts with having a great night's sleep, and I know because I have a Casper mattress.

Speaker 11 The Casper mattress was invented with two high-tech foams that give you all of the support that you need and guarantee that you get the best night's sleep ever.

Speaker 16 Time magazine named Casper mattress one of the best inventions of 2015.

Speaker 25 Casper ships for free in a box so small you won't believe it holds the actual mattress, making it simple to get from your front door to your bedroom.

Speaker 29 And you try it for 100 nights risk-free.

Speaker 33 They'll come and pick it up if you don't love it as much as I love mine, and they'll refund every single dime.

Speaker 37 Once you try it, you're never going to want to sleep on anything else.

Speaker 57 Boy, there is a lot to talk about today.

Speaker 60 The president has pardoned about 1,600 people,

Speaker 61 prisoners.

Speaker 60 So you know, usually the president pardons around 20 people.

Speaker 62 1,600

Speaker 63 people.

Speaker 60 And oh, by the way, they always pardon the

Speaker 60 most controversial

Speaker 60 almost during the time of the swearing-in. The last thing the president does as he's walking out of the office.
So, who will we find out about tomorrow?

Speaker 60 The press is focusing in all of the wrong places on this.

Speaker 50 Also,

Speaker 60 disrupt J20, disrupt January 20th. The people who want chaos on the mall tomorrow.
Chaos in America. As he raises his hand to take the oath of office.

Speaker 60 An exclusive interview from the Blaze with one of the organizers of Disrupt J20. We go there right now.

Speaker 60 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice.
I will hold your hand.

Speaker 60 Cause we have won. I will beat my drum.

Speaker 60 I have made my choice. We will overcome.

Speaker 60 Cause we are one.

Speaker 69 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

Speaker 70 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 60 I guess we are two days away. I was thinking it was Thursday.

Speaker 60 I kind of like the three-day work week.

Speaker 60 I think we should push for that. Universal min come

Speaker 60 and

Speaker 72 two-day work weeks.

Speaker 73 Yeah, one-day work week.

Speaker 74 We'll call in.

Speaker 75 First of all, if it's a mincum, why work?

Speaker 77 Thank you.

Speaker 74 Thank you.

Speaker 3 Boy, what a slippery slope we just hit

Speaker 57 pretty quickly.

Speaker 79 We have Doc Thompson with us. He does mornings on the Blaze Radio Network.

Speaker 34 And you have been

Speaker 82 kind of taking my approach of, hey, let's listen to people.

Speaker 79 Right, right. And it is paid off in a big way.

Speaker 58 Tell us how.

Speaker 72 I was following your other approaches in life, and those weren't working out so well for me.

Speaker 74 So I decided this wouldn't work.

Speaker 68 So a couple weeks ago, we found out about this J-20.

Speaker 68 This is the Disrupt J-20, where they're organizing all of the different little factions, anybody who is opposed to some of our ideals for whatever the little issue, abortion, gun control, whatever, to bring them all together in D.C.

Speaker 68 and do whatever they can to actually disrupt the inauguration. on some level to stop him from becoming president, which is a little nutty to me.

Speaker 68 We found out about it, my producer Chris Cruz said, okay, let me try to get them on. And he amazingly got a lady by the name of Lacey McCauley to come on.

Speaker 68 Apparently, she doesn't have access to the internet to find out about me.

Speaker 85 So she actually agreed to the interview.

Speaker 11 Yeah, but you did, you were honest with me.

Speaker 86 I was, I was, yeah.

Speaker 68 A lot of people think that, you know, by asking tough questions or that I am satirical over the top at times that I'm going to treat them that way. And we didn't.

Speaker 75 We heard her out.

Speaker 68 She said some things that the audience objected to, some things I did as well. I didn't debate every issue, but we talked about the Disrupt J20.
And she said it's non-violent.

Speaker 68 They just want to disrupt civil disobedience. She used phrases like that.
And I said, listen, I will stand with you for your right to express your First Amendment rights.

Speaker 68 I will stand with you, but not for violence, not for breaking the law, anything like this.

Speaker 68 So then James O'Keefe and Project Veritas released their first video that seems to show that they want something a little more than just civil disobedience, possibly some things that are pretty dangerous.

Speaker 90 Is she in the video?

Speaker 68 She is not in the first one, but they mention her in the second one, which was released late yesterday.

Speaker 68 So after the first one was released the day before yesterday, we interviewed her yesterday morning, and she said basically that the people in the video that were calling for stink bomb acid, I can't remember the type of acid it's called,

Speaker 68 to be put in the ventilation or the sprinklers off, that they knew, and I'm paraphrasing here, but essentially they knew that the person... that was talking to them was not one of them.

Speaker 68 And she said, we knew it was some sort of scam. We didn't know who.
It could have been police. It could have been.

Speaker 92 So you make it worse?

Speaker 68 That was my question. I said, why would you incriminate yourself? They can use this as evidence.
And she really didn't have a great answer for that.

Speaker 68 But she stuck to that this was all just the big ruse that they were putting on for whoever was interviewing them, essentially.

Speaker 68 And then the video came out yesterday that seems to show a little bit more.

Speaker 68 So I have a clip, if you want to hear it, of yesterday's interview with her where she mentions a couple of things like that and then also talks about James O'Keeffe. Okay, here it is.

Speaker 68 Once again, I'm going to offer you the opportunity to

Speaker 68 condemn any acts of violence or anything that would get anybody hurt this week in D.C.

Speaker 96 Well, thank you very much, Doc. This is absolutely something that we articulate and reaffirm at every single one of the meetings of Disrupt J20.
And, you know, this is a commitment to harming no one.

Speaker 91 You believe James O'Keefe is working

Speaker 68 on behalf of Nazis or he's doing the work of Nazis, white nationalists?

Speaker 96 Well, he basically is attacking our group, the DC Anti-Fascist Coalition, and our targets are the people who are modern-day Nazis.

Speaker 68 They voted for Trump. They're looking for something different, but they don't necessarily stand with the Nazis.
I mean, you understand the difference.

Speaker 96 Well, you know, I think it's pretty clear to me that he's attacking a group that protests Nazis. So that puts him on that side.

Speaker 68 President-elect Trump until Friday. You don't think that he supports Nazi issues, do you?

Speaker 96 Well, I think that there's basically a reason that these groups have been so celebratory of his policies.

Speaker 50 Unbelievable. Glenn Beck, your thoughts on that.

Speaker 103 Quite clearly, misguided.

Speaker 79 I mean, I stand against fascism. I stand against Nazis.

Speaker 91 To

Speaker 105 tie Donald Trump

Speaker 107 Actually tie him to Nazis is ridiculous.

Speaker 93 To tie Steve Bannon to the Nazi movement is not.

Speaker 108 But there is nothing in Donald Trump's history that shows that he is racist.

Speaker 83 Maybe the thing, Stu, that, you know, he went for the casino thing, that's probably the biggest

Speaker 113 mark of racist.

Speaker 114 But other than that, in his history,

Speaker 3 is he, does he have that tendency that it would show that he was a Nazi?

Speaker 117 Nazi?

Speaker 91 No, God, no.

Speaker 91 I mean, even, you know, you're talking about Steve Bannon. I mean,

Speaker 91 there are obviously a lot of people in the alt-right that embrace those values and send people, you know, pictures of them in gas chambers and such. But I mean, there's, I mean, there's most people.

Speaker 91 Even Ben Shapiro, who is an ardent critic of Steve Bannon's, has said he doesn't think he believes those things.

Speaker 79 Oh, I don't think so either.

Speaker 74 He's using them. Yeah.

Speaker 79 And I think that there is a case to be made that Steve Bannon is connected and using them.

Speaker 18 And Donald Trump was taking advice from Steve Bannon, but I don't think he's a Nazi.

Speaker 120 It's funny, though, there's so many subtle levels of this.

Speaker 72 Yes, clearly there are people in America that identify with Nazis. These people are crazy, right?

Speaker 86 And then there's

Speaker 68 people, but there's many, it's not everybody automatically in the alt-right, the right, or whatever is a Nazi just because we disagree.

Speaker 68 There's many, many levels that get you closer and closer to that.

Speaker 91 Even a lot of of the Nazis weren't Nazis as we think of them today.

Speaker 77 Right.

Speaker 120 They were just, you know, I got to do this, right? Yeah.

Speaker 91 I mean, again, that's horrible, but I'm not even talking about like there are people who were in the party who didn't do all of those things even back then

Speaker 91 to assign.

Speaker 91 It's true.

Speaker 122 It's true.

Speaker 123 No, I know it's true.

Speaker 4 You and I are both...

Speaker 124 You know,

Speaker 114 we're more well-read on the Nazi movement than 99% of the Nazis.

Speaker 91 Right. And there's no reason

Speaker 91 to draw gray areas about the Nazis. My point, though, they're all obviously horrible.

Speaker 91 The point, though, is that even people who would today identify themselves that way weren't people who've killed six million Jews. This is why everyone gets so frustrated with Nazi comparisons.

Speaker 91 We all know how that ended up.

Speaker 126 So therefore, everyone jumps to the end point of that.

Speaker 91 However, there was a lot of stuff early on that wasn't, so it wasn't so clear they were going to wind up killing six million Jews, even though Hitler was very clear about his intentions.

Speaker 2 Again, people not taking him literally, but taking him seriously.

Speaker 91 Yeah, point is, though, you can't compare. I mean, obviously, a comparison like that, where you're just throwing everyone, half this freaking country in the boats of Nazis, is just completely absurd.

Speaker 78 And to disrupt

Speaker 128 the inauguration

Speaker 78 destroys

Speaker 130 the main thing about America, and that is we have a peaceful transfer of power.

Speaker 128 That is one of the most

Speaker 83 stabilizing points that we can make to the rest of the world.

Speaker 59 Look, we strongly disagree, but we always have

Speaker 49 a peaceful transfer of power.

Speaker 2 Even though, I mean, we can compare this, you know,

Speaker 125 the Secret Service was not in effect with Abraham Lincoln.

Speaker 88 We didn't have a Secret Service. Abraham Lincoln did not understand how divided this country was until he made it to Baltimore.

Speaker 82 Most people don't know this, but there was a plot against his life coming in for his first inauguration from Illinois.

Speaker 129 And he took the train to Philadelphia.

Speaker 82 And he was supposed to then take the train to Baltimore the next morning.

Speaker 79 What people didn't know is he actually took a train, he got into Philadelphia, and instead of staying, he went out the back door and in the cover of darkness, went to,

Speaker 88 I want to say it was like Hershey or someplace in that area, and then took another train in the middle of the night to Washington and completely bypassed.

Speaker 56 Actually, no, he was in Philadelphia, it was Baltimore.

Speaker 123 He made it all the way to Baltimore, and it was the next morning they were going to kill him at the train station.

Speaker 139 So he took another train out

Speaker 102 and then rerouted to Washington.

Speaker 110 But it was in

Speaker 57 him walking

Speaker 81 down the street to get out where he heard all of the anti-Lincoln and anti-North sentiment on the streets.

Speaker 2 And he couldn't believe it.

Speaker 142 He said later, I didn't understand

Speaker 82 how divided we were as a country, that there were people willing to kill.

Speaker 123 the people in the North.

Speaker 62 It wasn't just me.

Speaker 132 I think we're close to that point again to where we are so divided and the extremes on both sides have been so wound up by politicians that they think now is their moment.

Speaker 30 Imagine if they get what they want on Friday.

Speaker 68 It's like the dog that catches the car. What are you going to do now?

Speaker 120 What do they think is going to happen? We disrupted it.

Speaker 68 He didn't get inaugurated.

Speaker 120 Everyone's just going to go back to their life.

Speaker 60 Obama stays president.

Speaker 68 All hell breaks loose if they disrupt that.

Speaker 147 And he's inaugurated anyway.

Speaker 71 And he gets inaugurated anyway.

Speaker 70 And he'll just go inside and inaugurate it.

Speaker 87 That's right.

Speaker 144 But that's what happens.

Speaker 119 That's what people want.

Speaker 129 There are a great number of people now that want a crackdown.

Speaker 82 They want the chaos because they want the crackdown.

Speaker 82 She says she's anti-fascist.

Speaker 149 Well, what do you think?

Speaker 150 How are fascistic states created?

Speaker 150 They're created by crackdowns because crackpots went and burned down the Reichstag.

Speaker 68 I thought it was with marshmallows and rainbows. I thought that's how it was created, wasn't it?

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 77 Something like that.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 152 It's really frightening to see the left, and again,

Speaker 89 the media has called a whole group of people Nazis.

Speaker 89 Not what I said.

Speaker 9 These are brown shirt tactics.

Speaker 19 And they are, there's a difference between brown shirt tactics

Speaker 114 and Nazis.

Speaker 154 While they were both Nazis, one is describing a person and a group of people.

Speaker 110 The other is saying, you're using the same tactics here.

Speaker 68 Did you see the second James O'Keefe video, the Project Veritas one? No. No.
In it, at one point, one of the guys talking, he's like, well, you know,

Speaker 68 this is one of the Disrupt J20 people.

Speaker 68 Let me call my comrade and see if he can blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 77 So you anti-fascist people.

Speaker 86 Right, communists.

Speaker 68 And you think that's better. These are the people that believe that they are opposite ends of the spectrum.
I do not believe that.

Speaker 151 No, they're not.

Speaker 102 It's total government. Right.

Speaker 156 Doc, thank you so much for that.

Speaker 63 Thank you for bringing that in.

Speaker 128 Have a great day.

Speaker 82 And, you know, you know, your mom can fix those pants.

Speaker 68 Okay, I'm flying immediately after this segment to DC.

Speaker 68 And these are my TSA pants because, yes, it makes me uncomfortable when TSA touches me. But with these, because I make them pat me down as part of my civil disobedience, it's ripped in the butt.

Speaker 63 Yes, they are. Right here.

Speaker 86 See, right here.

Speaker 63 Yeah, they are.

Speaker 68 It's definitely going to make them uncomfortable.

Speaker 72 Thank you for sharing that with me.

Speaker 77 Yes, here you go, Pat.

Speaker 86 Wow, thank you.

Speaker 63 That's for you, Pat.

Speaker 72 Rumpshaker, baby. Rumpshaker.

Speaker 77 All right.

Speaker 71 Thank you.

Speaker 60 You've got to go off the set now.

Speaker 63 We're never going to get to that.

Speaker 120 Don't you need to hit a flight? I do.

Speaker 77 I got to go. In fact, I'm going to get on.
I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 79 There are some things you just can't unsee, and that's one of them.

Speaker 89 Yikes.

Speaker 133 I mean, but Danya and I were in Vegas this weekend.

Speaker 83 And I would say, somebody would walk by, and I'd be like, you can't unsee that one.

Speaker 82 And she's like, oh, you know, but you can replace it.

Speaker 82 Replace it with that one.

Speaker 126 And these people were, oh,

Speaker 116 there was a woman that I saw at a really nice restaurant dressed as a very nice hooker, I think.

Speaker 2 And Tonya pointed out she might be.

Speaker 3 And I'm like, well, okay, yes, I did see Pretty Woman.

Speaker 157 Maybe she is.

Speaker 61 But I don't think she was.

Speaker 110 You know how women go to Vegas and they dress like hookers?

Speaker 119 This woman was.

Speaker 5 That's actually their city slogan.

Speaker 119 Yeah. This woman was plump

Speaker 158 and she honestly had a dress on and she was probably 40 and she had a dress on where I could see the

Speaker 55 the

Speaker 155 cheek come down.

Speaker 160 Okay.

Speaker 39 I could see the cheek meet the leg.

Speaker 101 Now she was standing with her butt towards me and I said to Tanya, I'm torn.

Speaker 59 Because

Speaker 83 I want her to turn around to see how this works works on the front.

Speaker 74 Because I said, just draw a mental line around.

Speaker 19 So I want to see how this works in the front, and yet I really don't want to see that.

Speaker 117 I'm not going to see a food environment.

Speaker 75 You have to see that.

Speaker 119 No, no, don't. Don't go to Vegas.

Speaker 161 Again, there are things you cannot unsee.

Speaker 34 There's a reason why ZipRecruiter has now been used by over a million businesses.

Speaker 49 Our sponsor this half hour.

Speaker 82 It's not enough anymore to just post on one

Speaker 73 place.

Speaker 123 That's why over a million businesses have gone with ZipRecruiter to find their quality candidates.

Speaker 83 ZipRecruiter is not a website.

Speaker 109 It's an actual software system that gives you a dashboard.

Speaker 48 And you type up your job description.

Speaker 115 You use ZipRecruiter to upload it.

Speaker 3 100 plus different job sites.

Speaker 164 It does all categories, all cities, all across the United States.

Speaker 82 And then it filters them as they come in.

Speaker 81 And

Speaker 27 you're able to put, you know, mark these ones.

Speaker 140 I want these people to respond back.

Speaker 111 I'm not interested in these.

Speaker 129 It helps you filter and organize.

Speaker 111 So big, huge businesses are using this and small businesses are using this.

Speaker 20 Okay, I have a few things to say today

Speaker 63 about

Speaker 30 Barack Obama and about the release of

Speaker 155 prisoners.

Speaker 111 Everyone is paying attention to who is being called Chelsea Manning.

Speaker 83 I'm sorry, it's Bradley Manning.

Speaker 139 You can identify, but that doesn't mean I have to identify.

Speaker 81 It doesn't mean I have to play into your madness.

Speaker 9 You want to have the surgery, have the surgery, and I will say you're a woman.

Speaker 160 But until you have had the surgery, and even then I'm giving you a gift, you're still biologically

Speaker 143 a man.

Speaker 117 But

Speaker 122 I'll go with it.

Speaker 144 But I'm not going to go over the cliff with the rest of humanity and deny science.

Speaker 143 Don't call me a science denier. I am not going to deny science.

Speaker 123 So anyway,

Speaker 83 why we're even talking about that is irrelevant, except I think that's why the president released Bradley Manning because

Speaker 82 he's struggling with his sexuality.

Speaker 78 Is that why we released him?

Speaker 3 Why did we release this guy?

Speaker 109 Seriously.

Speaker 91 That was not part of their justification for the move.

Speaker 105 Okay, good. I'm glad to hear that.

Speaker 80 The op-eds I read about it yesterday or last night were all saying, you know, they thought that's what played played the big role.

Speaker 173 I can't believe that.

Speaker 83 I don't want to believe that.

Speaker 147 Oh, I absolutely would believe that.

Speaker 98 I don't want to believe that. Wouldn't you believe that, guys?

Speaker 91 That makes perfect sense.

Speaker 51 That makes perfect sense in this mad world of Brock.

Speaker 45 I don't think it does.

Speaker 80 I don't think that's what played.

Speaker 112 Because the

Speaker 135 other guy that

Speaker 112 we'll get back to Bradley Manning because that is offensive.

Speaker 147 Even Democratic senators are speaking out against that.

Speaker 124 Could.

Speaker 89 And we'll play some. the

Speaker 136 other guy that he released at the same time, not the general,

Speaker 82 the Marxist terrorist

Speaker 149 from Chicago.

Speaker 173 And nobody's talking about him.

Speaker 168 And I want to have

Speaker 60 a conversation with those on the left that now fear Donald Trump, that say you can't compare the two. I want

Speaker 65 to show you why you're wrong.

Speaker 54 Next.

Speaker 54 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 158 Okay.

Speaker 22 I want to have a talk with those in the media and those on the left that have lectured me over and over again that you can't compare what we're saying about about Donald Trump to Barack Obama.

Speaker 141 You can't compare what we're doing to what you did.

Speaker 86 No, you can't compare.

Speaker 147 What they're doing is a lot worse.

Speaker 82 They're saying, no, Barack Obama, you know, he wasn't a racist.

Speaker 131 He wasn't a

Speaker 134 danger.

Speaker 131 He wasn't a fascist.

Speaker 146 No.

Speaker 142 I'm not going to make any

Speaker 82 accusations because

Speaker 160 I want the people on the left to hear this.

Speaker 74 I understand

Speaker 8 why you're making now on BuzzFeed a list of all of Donald Trump's connections of businesses.

Speaker 177 I understand that.

Speaker 2 And here's what I think you're feeling.

Speaker 106 When it comes to the businesses, you're seeing guys like Rex Tillerson.

Speaker 131 And you're saying, well, Rex Tillerson, he's an oil guy.

Speaker 38 And all he's going to do is he's going to play footsies with Russia and the Middle East and everybody else so we can get oil contracts.

Speaker 165 And he'll make money.

Speaker 83 And it'll be business as usual.

Speaker 134 And it'll be all of the rich getting richer.

Speaker 172 Okay, I understand that.

Speaker 131 That's the way I felt with Hillary Clinton and her speeches in Wall Street and Goldman Sachs.

Speaker 33 It's the way I felt with the bailouts of GM and the bailouts of the bank under Barack Obama and George W.

Speaker 28 Bush.

Speaker 165 We might like capitalism, but we haven't done real capitalism in a very long time.

Speaker 109 We're doing crony capitalism, which is just corruption.

Speaker 83 So you're trying to make the connections now through BuzzFeed on all of the things and all of the people that he is attached to.

Speaker 45 Okay,

Speaker 163 I understand your fear.

Speaker 118 I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but I do understand your fear.

Speaker 82 Can you give us the same respect

Speaker 79 and admit,

Speaker 144 you don't have to say that Barack Obama is,

Speaker 127 but would you admit

Speaker 7 that the connections that

Speaker 29 Barack Obama has with Marxist radical family members, his grandfather, his mother, his father,

Speaker 83 and all of the people that he has seemingly surrounded himself with, including Jeremiah Wright and things like that, who are for Marxist liberation theology.

Speaker 111 His stated theology that there is no personal salvation, it is only a collective salvation, which is Marxist liberation theology.

Speaker 151 That's where that came from.

Speaker 65 For those of us who believe Marxism is wrong, flawed, and no matter how many times it's tried, it will end in millions of murders,

Speaker 82 will you at least give us the benefit of the doubt and say, ah, Okay,

Speaker 112 I see why you were concerned.

Speaker 35 Now the reason why there was so much,

Speaker 30 why the birther thing lasted, why it took root, is because the left and the media refused to look into legitimate connections.

Speaker 115 They dismissed every connection

Speaker 146 to anything with Barack Obama.

Speaker 83 They would not say things like, wait a minute, what's happening with Bradley Manning?

Speaker 78 That's just not, that's crazy.

Speaker 151 What's happening with

Speaker 141 the giving of three really bad guys

Speaker 151 for Manning?

Speaker 154 What is it with putting, and I know you have a love affair with Van Jones.

Speaker 119 I do not.

Speaker 82 I think he's a chameleon.

Speaker 61 And he has personally stated that he is a chameleon.

Speaker 9 He is a 9-11 truther, which you have a problem with Alex Jones.

Speaker 100 Well, so do I.

Speaker 64 And one of the reasons is because he is the birthplace of the 9-11 truth project.

Speaker 74 Okay,

Speaker 144 so is Van Jones.

Speaker 116 You don't have a problem with that.

Speaker 94 Why?

Speaker 162 He's a stated Marxist.

Speaker 100 You don't have a problem with that.

Speaker 3 Okay, but will you recognize that I have a problem with that?

Speaker 74 Now,

Speaker 3 to say that Barack Obama is a Marxist requires a leap because he's never said it.

Speaker 110 But his policies of reversing the Constitution, his stated problem with our Constitution, in his own words, is that it is a document of negative liberties where it should be a document of positive liberties.

Speaker 111 Well, that's what the Soviet Union Constitution was, a document of positive liberties, the things the state must do instead of what our founders did, the thing the state cannot do.

Speaker 111 It's fundamentally different.

Speaker 81 Its foundation is 180 degrees out of whack.

Speaker 139 That made us nervous.

Speaker 82 To say he doesn't have a problem with taking something from you and giving it to somebody else, that's redistribution of wealth.

Speaker 79 He talks about health care and has said

Speaker 179 that, or I'm sorry, one of his people, the people he appointed the head of his healthcare movement, one of the architects said that wealth redistribution must be

Speaker 8 the centerpiece of any healthcare legislation.

Speaker 122 Okay,

Speaker 116 that's a problem.

Speaker 83 Yesterday, everybody's talking about Bradley Manning, Chelsea Manning.

Speaker 88 There's another one that was released, and this one, and by the press ignoring it, downplaying it, dismissing it, is the reason why we have such distrust for the press and is the reason we have worried so about President Obama.

Speaker 164 It's not his words.

Speaker 108 With Donald Trump, so far it's his words.

Speaker 142 And his words can be frightening.

Speaker 164 What are the actions behind the words?

Speaker 163 We're going to find out.

Speaker 145 And I hope we find out good things.

Speaker 61 Yesterday,

Speaker 127 the words say one thing, the actions say another.

Speaker 3 Yesterday, the president released Oscar Lopez

Speaker 76 Rivera.

Speaker 50 Who is he?

Speaker 79 A Puerto Rican nationalist and one of the leaders of FALN, F-A-L-N.

Speaker 2 In 1981, Lopez was convicted and sentenced to 55 years in federal prison for seditious conspiracy, the use of force to commit robbery, interstate transportation of firearms, conspiracy to transport explosives with an attempt to destroy government property.

Speaker 111 He was also in 88 sentenced to an additional 15 years for conspiring to escape from Leavenworth.

Speaker 2 He's one of the 14 convicted foul members offered conditional clemency by Bill Clinton in 99, but he rejected the offer.

Speaker 10 Why?

Speaker 58 First, let me tell you how bad of a guy this guy is.

Speaker 82 In about 1980 in Chicago, Chicago, huh?

Speaker 164 Another connection to Chicago and that circle of friends of Barack Obama that exists.

Speaker 81 I'm sure he knows about this guy because of his connections to the circle of old Marxists in Chicago.

Speaker 19 I could be wrong.

Speaker 82 But that is something that if the media took seriously, we could dismiss.

Speaker 160 So in 1980,

Speaker 79 a robber breaks into

Speaker 83 an apartment.

Speaker 64 He's so freaked out by what he finds, he goes to the police and says, hey, I want to tell you something.

Speaker 50 I was trying to rob this guy's house.

Speaker 57 You guys need to know what I found.

Speaker 101 Now that takes something, doesn't it?

Speaker 82 So what did he find?

Speaker 15 He found an apartment full of explosives, high-end explosives, and plans of government buildings in Chicago.

Speaker 50 This is a group that is a communist, Marxist, radical group that wants freedom for Puerto Rico to become a communist state.

Speaker 122 Cuba.

Speaker 82 And this is one of them. He's one of the 14 convicted members.

Speaker 8 He was tied directly to the

Speaker 93 bombing of one federal building and to the

Speaker 79 explosives and the plans in that apartment.

Speaker 109 He said he's a freedom fighter.

Speaker 173 He's an avowed communist.

Speaker 82 He's an avowed, I would call him terrorist, but he says everything that he has done, he has done and was justified. He said this is an illegal court.

Speaker 111 I'm not going to participate in this trial.

Speaker 82 He didn't participate.

Speaker 111 He's admitted it.

Speaker 82 He has stood on that he was right and that he would do it again. In 99, will you take the deal and say you don't have anything to do with it?

Speaker 128 You're not going to be involved.

Speaker 140 No.

Speaker 125 In 99,

Speaker 143 he has been

Speaker 132 an avowed Marxist communist terrorist since the 1970s.

Speaker 83 And Barack Obama decides to pardon him.

Speaker 10 Now,

Speaker 76 what are the details of this?

Speaker 3 Who is this guy?

Speaker 82 Why is this guy so important to pardon?

Speaker 82 Who is influencing the president to bring him up on his radar?

Speaker 7 Why does he even know about this guy?

Speaker 144 I don't keep track of the Marxist terrorists that are in prison.

Speaker 50 Who is?

Speaker 74 They obviously influenced Bill Clinton because Bill Clinton, I don't think, was hanging out with Marxist revolutionaries.

Speaker 144 Maybe he was.

Speaker 82 But he didn't have a history of it.

Speaker 176 Barack Obama does.

Speaker 152 And then when he does things like this, it makes people who think that Marx was wrong, always wrong, and every time it's tried, it ends in violence and massive graves,

Speaker 151 were concerned.

Speaker 139 And because everyone on the left dismissed it, mocked, and ridiculed, we started to think, gosh, everybody is.

Speaker 7 Everybody on the left, everybody who's a Democrat must be a Marxist because they don't care.

Speaker 9 I don't believe that's true.

Speaker 82 But as you're trying to figure out why,

Speaker 83 why does nobody trust the press?

Speaker 176 Why was everybody so freaked out about Barack Obama and Donald Trump?

Speaker 92 You know, he's clearly a bad guy.

Speaker 62 This guy had nothing.

Speaker 119 He was just a great guy and a hero and an all-American guy.

Speaker 146 No.

Speaker 32 There were many things he said and more things that he did that verified concern that he has serious Marxist tendencies and surrounded by bad people.

Speaker 79 I can understand why you fear the next guy.

Speaker 101 Please, if we're going to make progress, you have to understand why we feared the last guy.

Speaker 79 If you can admit that and say, ah,

Speaker 112 I see and your fears are valid, just like I say, I see and

Speaker 133 I can validate your fears.

Speaker 102 I may not agree with them, but they're valid.

Speaker 136 Then and only then can we make progress.

Speaker 177 But somebody on the left has got to step forward and say that.

Speaker 103 But it'll take

Speaker 180 massive, massive cojones

Speaker 157 because you're not going to be popular with your side.

Speaker 173 Last year, One illegal operation involving payment of back taxes owed conned 6,400 people out of a total of $36 million.

Speaker 42 One,

Speaker 38 one identity theft.

Speaker 161 One out of every four scams last year involved this kind of a scam. The next most common scam involved phony bill collections and contest prize winnings.

Speaker 167 People just want to make them go away or they want to believe they're going to be rich.

Speaker 173 Life Lock can help stop this.

Speaker 112 They put the bad guys away.

Speaker 3 They catch them and help police put them behind bars.

Speaker 60 No one can prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock will scan hundreds of millions of transactions each second.

Speaker 136 Can you imagine that?

Speaker 181 The Glenn Beck Program.

Speaker 148 Hello, and welcome to the program.

Speaker 37 I think today we are in for

Speaker 18 substantial problems.

Speaker 173 I have said in the past that

Speaker 135 I wouldn't put it past Barack Obama to pardon on his last day.

Speaker 157 Do you have any of the...

Speaker 3 There has to be predictions that pop up this week.

Speaker 91 The two that are popping up are the blind sheikh that you mentioned,

Speaker 5 which could happen. And the other one.

Speaker 91 The other one, Mumia Abu-Jamal.

Speaker 98 I would think that would be more likely at all.

Speaker 67 That too, that one happens.

Speaker 91 Now, that one's interesting in that

Speaker 91 one, it does appear that it would be difficult for him to do because he was convicted at the state level, not federal level.

Speaker 5 He usually does federal level.

Speaker 91 He could theoretically get in some battle to get that done, but it would be very difficult.

Speaker 86 But the sheikh was federal, right?

Speaker 74 Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 82 So the blind sheikh, those were my two: the blind sheikh and Mumia Abu Jamal.

Speaker 89 I'd like to add another one.

Speaker 107 Is it possible that the president pardons everyone who's in prison for marijuana charges?

Speaker 147 Oh, yeah, I think so. so.

Speaker 50 They said today

Speaker 60 substantially more people are going to be pardoned and he's already pardoned 2609.

Speaker 98 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 182 Mercury.

Speaker 1 This is the Blaze Radio on demand.

Speaker 4 The key to having a great day starts with having a great night's sleep, and I know because I have a Casper mattress.

Speaker 11 The Casper mattress was invented with two high-tech foams that give you all of the support that you need and guarantee that you get the best night's sleep ever.

Speaker 16 Time magazine named Casper mattress one of the best inventions of 2015.

Speaker 24 Casper ships for free in a box so small you won't believe it holds the actual mattress, making it simple to get from your front door to your bedroom.

Speaker 29 And you try it for 100 nights risk-free.

Speaker 33 They'll come and pick it up if you don't love it as much as I love mine, and they'll refund every single dime.

Speaker 37 Once you try it, you're never going to want to sleep on anything else.

Speaker 74 Hello, America.

Speaker 60 A lot to say on the president, the people that he has pardoned, and the people that are remaining. He has already let over 200 people out

Speaker 60 of prison, some really bad guys.

Speaker 88 We're as a country

Speaker 60 having a bizarre conversation about

Speaker 60 Bradley Manning, Chelsea, as some like to call him.

Speaker 60 And

Speaker 60 some on the left are celebrating, yet they were the ones who are also saying that WikiLeaks in Russia are bad. And here's the guy who leaked all this information to WikiLeaks in Russia.
I don't...

Speaker 60 It's a surreal world, a world that if we were being pitched this around a Hollywood pitch table for a movie, all of us would say it's not believable. But that's the world we live in.

Speaker 60 The White House is saying the 200 are nothing.

Speaker 22 Substantially more are being released tomorrow.

Speaker 120 Who could that be?

Speaker 60 Also, I was asked,

Speaker 60 what are my hopes for the Trump campaign?

Speaker 60 I answer, with what is inside of this protective shield, a document that

Speaker 60 Mercury won, that David Barton and Glenn Beck dream of an independence museum as it becomes more and more a reality. We purchased a document yesterday that I don't think

Speaker 60 many people even know exists, and it is something really cool. What do I hope?

Speaker 60 What are my hopes? What are my dreams for a Trump administration? It's in this document, and I'll share it with you next.

Speaker 70 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 60 For everybody who doesn't understand

Speaker 180 why the many of us on the right were so

Speaker 82 upset at Barack Obama, it was because he could talk a good game about law and order.

Speaker 102 but he didn't do it.

Speaker 79 And the same thing can be said

Speaker 65 about Donald Trump.

Speaker 79 He talks a great game about law and order.

Speaker 108 Now, how will he perform that duty?

Speaker 173 For instance, he talked about law and order recently in Chicago and said, don't worry, Chicago, you want to solve this?

Speaker 123 We'll send in the feds.

Speaker 67 No, no, no, no, no, Mr.

Speaker 88 President-elect.

Speaker 131 That's not what we do.

Speaker 106 We don't federalize the police force. We don't do that.

Speaker 61 We help cities

Speaker 82 police themselves. We use the Constitution.

Speaker 75 The Constitution is not a charter for a corporation.

Speaker 131 You're not the CEO of America.

Speaker 72 You're the president. And it's a very different role.

Speaker 18 But

Speaker 83 I think, I'm hoping, that when Donald Trump

Speaker 87 has constitutionalists around him, he will understand that and he will play along with the Constitution.

Speaker 177 And we won't do the things that we have done under George W.

Speaker 123 Bush and in a massive way under Barack Obama.

Speaker 76 And anybody who is intellectually honest at all will say the things you worried about under George Bush, that it was going to be crony capitalism, got worse under Barack Obama.

Speaker 80 That anybody who worried that

Speaker 33 the government was spying on people got worse under Barack Obama.

Speaker 82 The constitutional liberties got worse under Barack Obama.

Speaker 59 The press asks what?

Speaker 74 I don't know.

Speaker 61 Ask your own fellow colleagues that found themselves harassed or jailed by this president or threatened to jail by this president on what you would call First Amendment rights.

Speaker 61 This president is the worst president for the press since Woodrow Wilson.

Speaker 107 I offered many times to stand with those on the left in the press

Speaker 104 if they would stand up for themselves first.

Speaker 152 I said you would have plenty of people on the right that would stand with you.

Speaker 128 And you better do it now because you don't know who's going to get in next.

Speaker 82 And the next guy could be worse.

Speaker 35 Now you're afraid the next guy might be worse, but you're saying it in a way where you don't recognize that your guy was really bad.

Speaker 177 It doesn't help.

Speaker 144 You have to have intellectual honesty,

Speaker 151 and you have to have an underpinning of something.

Speaker 26 Where do you get your principles?

Speaker 78 What is

Speaker 130 my hope for the Trump administration?

Speaker 173 It's really pretty simple, and it's actually kind of depressing how low the bar is for anybody in office now.

Speaker 173 It is that maybe they'll take the Hippocratic oath and first do no harm.

Speaker 88 Wouldn't it be nice to have somebody go to Congress and first

Speaker 35 do no harm?

Speaker 106 But this document,

Speaker 131 which was just purchased over the weekend, I have never seen it before,

Speaker 82 and it's pretty amazing,

Speaker 66 is my hope

Speaker 110 for this administration.

Speaker 83 This is from Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 177 This was given to his wife, Nancy, afterwards as a gift.

Speaker 136 And he wrote in his own handwriting to Nancy, who brightens the corner where we are,

Speaker 4 Ronald Reagan.

Speaker 112 He then, like his, like checks, like we used to do with checks, he forgot to make it 81.

Speaker 161 He made it 120. 80.

Speaker 180 It was actually 120.

Speaker 94 81 when he was sworn in. Okay?

Speaker 157 This is the actual card that he held in his hands when he was taking the oath of office.

Speaker 78 And you can see he marked with a black marker, swear, execute, ability, and Constitution of the United States. So he could see it at a distance.

Speaker 173 He knew exactly the oath and he wouldn't screw it up.

Speaker 82 I, Ronald Reagan, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute.

Speaker 155 the office of the President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 178 So help me, God.

Speaker 56 My hope for the last President

Speaker 82 is the same hope for this President

Speaker 82 that when he raises his hand, he will actually mean these words.

Speaker 101 This isn't just something that you say.

Speaker 129 This is a swearing to God

Speaker 132 and to the people

Speaker 79 that you will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States.

Speaker 112 What does that mean?

Speaker 19 You're going to do your job.

Speaker 19 Here's the job description.

Speaker 130 You're going to do your job.

Speaker 106 Now, I haven't seen a job description.

Speaker 60 I wonder if there is one.

Speaker 66 Can somebody go online and see if there is an official job description for the President of the United States?

Speaker 131 It'd be interesting.

Speaker 107 It'd be interesting for us to know what the job description is.

Speaker 34 And it'd be interesting that you should have one when you walk into the Oval Office.

Speaker 127 These are the things you can do.

Speaker 111 These are the things you can't do.

Speaker 19 I would bet that the job description is in the Constitution of the United States, and that's it.

Speaker 91 Article 2, Sections 2 and 3.

Speaker 91 322 words.

Speaker 86 That's a Marine Canadian American maker.

Speaker 91 Here's our short job description. It covers only five areas.
The president is commander-in-chief of the military.

Speaker 91 The president is responsible for ensuring that the laws passed by Congress are executed and enforced as written. Man, that one was certainly violated the last eight years.

Speaker 91 The president is allowed to grant pardons for crimes other than impeachment. I mean, that's in the Constitution.
So a lot of people will say, I can't believe they're pardoning these people.

Speaker 117 It is part of the role.

Speaker 121 It's part of the job

Speaker 91 of this country for the president to be able to pardon people.

Speaker 120 Even for any reason that they want.

Speaker 110 Right. Nobody has ever done it to this extent.

Speaker 82 The average is about, what, 18?

Speaker 91 I know Bush did 19 on his last day of pardons.

Speaker 22 I think 23 is the largest.

Speaker 91 And they all do more than that during their

Speaker 91 terms, but there's usually a last day where they do their sort of last act.

Speaker 74 Bush did it.

Speaker 73 The controversial one.

Speaker 74 They usually hold them off to the end because they don't have to deal with it.

Speaker 120 Right.

Speaker 91 Then you have the president can also make treaties, but only if two-thirds of the Senate agrees to the terms of those treaties.

Speaker 91 The president can nominate ambassadors, Supreme Court justices, and other officers, most commonly

Speaker 91 cabinet secretaries and federal judges, but he can only nominate them. Again, the Senate has final approval on any of the nominations.

Speaker 58 Everything else is not part of the job of the president.

Speaker 45 I will create jobs.

Speaker 185 Not part of the job.

Speaker 51 Not part of the job.

Speaker 91 Be nice, but that's not your responsibility.

Speaker 144 Who has made that the responsibility of the president?

Speaker 186 The press.

Speaker 115 What about jobs?

Speaker 82 Not my job. That's what the president should say.

Speaker 83 Would be a death knell if he did, but not my job.

Speaker 124 Not my job.

Speaker 93 My job is to faithfully execute the office, to make sure that the laws of the land are enforced.

Speaker 4 Now I have the bully pulpit to say this law is wrong.

Speaker 82 But I don't have the right to what this president did and say I'm not enforcing that.

Speaker 82 That's not faithfully, quote, faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States.

Speaker 59 That's not faithfully executing it.

Speaker 119 But the most important part: will to the best of my ability,

Speaker 83 will to the best of my ability.

Speaker 168 How many of us had conversations either as children with our parents or have had this conversation with our children or both?

Speaker 63 Dad,

Speaker 103 I did really poorly in this subject.

Speaker 115 First response from my parents and to my children.

Speaker 79 Is that your best work?

Speaker 59 Is that to the best of your ability?

Speaker 101 Is that the best you could do?

Speaker 83 If they answer yes and I believe them,

Speaker 84 not a problem.

Speaker 173 Good job.

Speaker 173 You did your best work.

Speaker 88 Now, how can we help you do better next time?

Speaker 34 If they say no, there's trouble.

Speaker 45 Are you not like that with your kids?

Speaker 127 I did everything I could.

Speaker 111 There were some things that were out of my hands.

Speaker 83 And that would mean if I see the Constitution being violated, I ring the bell at the bully pulpit.

Speaker 82 I tell the American people there is a violation of the Constitution and I can't stop it.

Speaker 83 Isn't that, to the best of my ability, preserve,

Speaker 148 protect,

Speaker 172 and defend the Constitution of the United States?

Speaker 82 I don't believe this president, and it may be,

Speaker 172 maybe

Speaker 112 to the best of his ability,

Speaker 93 because his ability may be gravely hampered by what he believes.

Speaker 83 He believes the Constitution, in his own words, is a flawed document.

Speaker 82 So if you raise your hand and take this oath,

Speaker 129 you really are not qualified to take this oath if, in your own admitted words, it is a flawed document.

Speaker 9 Because I can't preserve that document.

Speaker 160 I can't defend that document.

Speaker 172 And I mean mentally defend.

Speaker 58 When somebody comes into your office and says, hey, we have to do this, but it's really not constitutional,

Speaker 156 you say, find a poll, and I don't care if you have to poll vault over it.

Speaker 139 That's a flawed document.

Speaker 124 Don't worry about it.

Speaker 128 You're in violation of the Constitution.

Speaker 88 What does Donald Trump think about the Constitution?

Speaker 119 I don't know.

Speaker 74 I've never heard him talk about about it.

Speaker 167 I heard him recently in an interview, an old interview, but they just released it, talking about the Declaration of Independence, where he said, I've never understood the all men are created equal.

Speaker 74 Some aren't.

Speaker 26 All men aren't created equal.

Speaker 83 Some have ability, some don't.

Speaker 73 Some have looks, some don't.

Speaker 123 Well, that's not what that means.

Speaker 19 And that shows,

Speaker 82 to me, that shows somebody who has read that document and has not put any serious thought into it.

Speaker 165 He's seen the document, he's read it, and he's thought, well, no, all men are not created equal, but has never really talked about it out loud, never had a serious discussion.

Speaker 115 Because a man as smart as Donald Trump will come to the correct conclusion quickly when he thinks about it.

Speaker 30 It's not that all men are created equal, it's that they're all created with equal,

Speaker 142 an equal chance

Speaker 140 under the law, that they have

Speaker 39 no standing before the law any less or greater than anyone else.

Speaker 3 And if it was an old interview, hopefully he's, you know, taken the time in between.

Speaker 98 Yeah. Correct.

Speaker 50 But what does he believe?

Speaker 82 I don't know what he believes about the Constitution.

Speaker 73 I have not heard him talk about it.

Speaker 107 But I'm hoping that the president-elect has spent his time talking to people, and I know he has talked to Mike Lee about the Constitution.

Speaker 136 So hopefully he has done his homework.

Speaker 105 And when he raises his hand tomorrow, he can say to the best of my ability, I will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 178 So help me, God.

Speaker 67 And mean it.

Speaker 157 Because I don't believe the last one

Speaker 123 meant it, at least in the way that most of us would,

Speaker 123 because in his own words, he said it was a flawed document.

Speaker 86 Now this.

Speaker 138 The very, very little I find important or more important than my family.

Speaker 83 I can't think of anything.

Speaker 73 My God, my family. Everything else is behind it.

Speaker 183 You're on the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 188 Hi, Glenn.

Speaker 75 Hey, how are you?

Speaker 189 I'm doing well, thanks.

Speaker 94 Good.

Speaker 6 What's on your mind?

Speaker 189 Hey, I just find the current conversation fascinating regarding the powers enumerated to the President in Article I of the Constitution.

Speaker 188 And

Speaker 189 I recalled that years ago when Ron Paul was running for President, he specifically stated on many occasions that he would not do more than what the Article I of the Constitution gave him powers to do.

Speaker 189 And some labeled him as an isolationist and also someone who would be a jellyfish of a president because he would sign no or veto almost every bill that came his way because he knew that most of the bills that were written were not within his power to pass as president or things that were

Speaker 131 that's an interesting it's an interesting

Speaker 82 um way to view um why people thought he was an isolationist.

Speaker 103 Because it's not on the presidential powers that made me think that he was an isolationist. It was

Speaker 38 his view on withdrawing from the world.

Speaker 183 And I happen to agree with withdrawing from the world, not perhaps as quickly as he would,

Speaker 56 because it's taken us 100 years to get into this mess.

Speaker 147 I thought there were other issues with

Speaker 165 all that.

Speaker 110 I don't think that has anything to do.

Speaker 106 Have you ever heard that?

Speaker 88 It was about Article one that he was restricted by the constitution for his powers

Speaker 56 no neither have i interesting uh point of view thank you very much josh back in just a second

Speaker 170 this is the glenn the program

Speaker 189 mercury

Speaker 170 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 60 So let's look at the people now

Speaker 184 that

Speaker 183 Barack Obama has pardoned.

Speaker 187 First of all, let's start with

Speaker 38 Manning.

Speaker 88 Didn't Julian Assange say that he would allow himself to be extradited to the United States if we pardoned Manning?

Speaker 91 Yes, that is what he promised. And of course, I think a lot of people didn't believe him at the time.
Now that it's happened, he is saying that he will follow through with that.

Speaker 91 The issue, of course, now is he has said that he will follow through? Yes, he said he's going to follow through with that.

Speaker 124 Now, who knows if he actually does.

Speaker 91 The other part of that is, obviously, he is smart enough to realize that Donald Trump is about to be president, who's kind of a big fan.

Speaker 91 So if he were to come here, I think it's likely that Assange would get pardoned by Trump, not by...

Speaker 141 It seems like... Four or eight years?

Speaker 122 I don't know. I mean, maybe right away.

Speaker 57 Oh, I can't believe that.

Speaker 94 Why?

Speaker 91 I mean, they've called him basically a hero. I mean, you know, people like Sarah Palin, who were saying he was a huge criminal, have now completely turned around and said he's a hero.

Speaker 74 I don't understand that.

Speaker 122 But that's different.

Speaker 124 Why?

Speaker 91 Why?

Speaker 185 I don't think it's different at all.

Speaker 51 I don't think Trump cares either.

Speaker 147 What does he care about the fallout? Yeah. That never affects him one iota.

Speaker 77 He doesn't care.

Speaker 89 That's a good point. Right.
And he believes.

Speaker 153 Not one iota of a crack.

Speaker 94 No. No.
Not one iota of a crack.

Speaker 91 And the other one is in that same sort of group as Snowden, people are talking about. And I think in the same way, like this,

Speaker 91 it's unlikely that Obama would pardon Snowden or Assange because it plays against the narrative he's trying to build, which is, you know, Trump is obviously tied with Russia.

Speaker 91 There was the hacking of the election and all of these things that, right, as of today, today, the Democrats are suddenly concerned about.

Speaker 91 So pardoning him, I don't think, does anything, where I do think Snowden and Assange would have a great chance of being pardoned by Trump in that he's outwardly said

Speaker 91 their actions were really positive and heroic.

Speaker 91 So you'd think that those two would have real possibilities. And obviously, working as closely as he wants to work with Russia, there's a lot there.

Speaker 91 So those are a couple of people. There's a few others that they've been talking about

Speaker 91 as potential big-name pardons. Now, we mentioned Willie McCovey, who was pardoned for some tax evasion thing from a million years ago.

Speaker 167 But he didn't even go to prison.

Speaker 124 No. Right, no, it was a minor thing.

Speaker 91 But, you know, he wanted his name back, and I can understand that. He's a Hall of Fame baseball player.
And, you know, that's what the media is focusing on.

Speaker 91 However, he pardoned 209 people, or excuse me, 209

Speaker 91 commuted and 64 pardons.

Speaker 91 So 64 pardons, 209 commutations in one day, and there's more coming tomorrow.

Speaker 91 Substantially more. Substantially more.

Speaker 5 That's what the White House says.

Speaker 18 Substantially more.

Speaker 117 Yes.

Speaker 91 So who are the people, the big names? Because they did pardon a lot of people you've never heard of.

Speaker 91 But who are the big potential names? Hot Air came up with a list, and they mentioned Edward Snowden and Julian Sah, which we just talked about. I don't think either of those would happen.

Speaker 91 David Petraeus is one they mentioned. Now, Petraeus obviously has been aligned with the Trump administration.
However,

Speaker 91 was under, was

Speaker 91 served Obama for a while as well.

Speaker 91 Obviously, it kind of went down the wrong wrong road, but would you pardon? I think it's a good pardon

Speaker 91 if he were to do that.

Speaker 91 And, you know, he has paid a penalty, certainly, for that. Bo Bergdahl.

Speaker 91 Bergdahl,

Speaker 91 I mean, that one seems to fit pretty well with the Manning thing, right?

Speaker 124 I mean,

Speaker 91 they've already traded a bunch of terrorists for him.

Speaker 91 He comes back and he had, you know, the charges.

Speaker 74 I have conflated Bergdahl and Manning together.

Speaker 122 Yeah.

Speaker 74 So

Speaker 91 Manning was no, I think you did mention that at one point earlier.

Speaker 75 Yeah, because Bergdahl was the guy.

Speaker 5 Okay. Yes.

Speaker 156 I thought that's who we parted.

Speaker 50 I conflated.

Speaker 27 I forgot they were two separate people.

Speaker 11 Yes.

Speaker 82 Manning was the guy. What?

Speaker 75 To the purge. They're three.
Right. Three.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 81 So Manning is the guy who went in, gathered all of, intentionally gathered all secret documents and then gave it to WikiLeaks.

Speaker 91 Yeah, and the excuse,

Speaker 91 let me give you their justification in case you're interested.

Speaker 147 Berg is the one who deserted and went

Speaker 147 allegedly with the Taliban for a while.

Speaker 91 So he still

Speaker 157 definitely is going to be.

Speaker 4 I mean, I was thinking Bergdahl took a bunch of documents, gave them to WikiLeaks, then left and went with the Taliban.

Speaker 64 I could put the two of them together.

Speaker 74 That's all right.

Speaker 91 So, Josh Ernest said Chelsea Manning is somebody who went through the military criminal justice process, was exposed to due process, was found guilty, was sentenced for her crimes, and she acknowledged wrongdoing.

Speaker 91 At her court martial, Ms.

Speaker 91 Manning confessed in detail to her actions and apologized, saying she had not intended to put anyone at risk and noting that she had been dealing with a lot of issues at the time she made her decision, which obviously have manifested itself quite publicly since.

Speaker 91 So that is why they are dealing with issues.

Speaker 72 Right.

Speaker 124 I mean, obviously.

Speaker 91 I know, but I'm just saying that's their justification. So it's important to say that it's a lot of people.

Speaker 147 You can't be a traitor to your country. If you're dealing with issues.

Speaker 122 Well, those types of issues.

Speaker 124 Right.

Speaker 147 I mean, if they're gender issues, then sure, then you got to.

Speaker 102 It's important.

Speaker 124 Unbelievable.

Speaker 91 Here's another one I could definitely see happening is Leonard Peltier. Now, this is a guy.
We've talked about him before over the years.

Speaker 5 He is too.

Speaker 165 So many names on the bottom.

Speaker 149 So many charts.

Speaker 71 I know.

Speaker 91 So he's a very big Hollywood cause. He murdered two FBI agents many years ago.

Speaker 124 I'm getting warmer.

Speaker 91 He was in

Speaker 91 a Native American sort of

Speaker 91 group. Yeah.

Speaker 91 And

Speaker 91 who they went to to go capture someone on their compound. He shot two FBI agents.
They know for a fact he was shooting at FBI agents. There was 120 some odd shots at FBI agents.

Speaker 91 Basically, the defense is, well, it was somebody else who actually hit the FBI agents. He was apparently those shot at point blank.
These two guys were shot at point-blank range.

Speaker 91 Really tragic and horrible story. For whatever reason, this has become a big cause for the left over the years.
Bill Clinton was rumored to be considering

Speaker 91 pardoning him at the end of his term, but was eventually

Speaker 91 did not do it. He's been in prison for a long time.
He ran for president of the United States under, I think, the Peace and Freedom Party.

Speaker 91 It was one of those socialist parties. He is ran from prison.

Speaker 148 I believe that you're going to see the worst of the Marxist people out.

Speaker 86 And he's

Speaker 174 a big one.

Speaker 121 So this is an interesting one.

Speaker 135 Has Bill Ayer's record been swept clean?

Speaker 91 I don't know.

Speaker 123 That would be an interesting if he

Speaker 129 pardons and cleans the record of Bill Ayers.

Speaker 91 A couple of others. Ethel Rosenberg.

Speaker 77 Now,

Speaker 91 I think it's pretty much wide knowledge that first of all, she's gone.

Speaker 98 We've lost her.

Speaker 71 I lost her. She's sick.

Speaker 121 She's lost.

Speaker 76 We're going to make fun of it.

Speaker 85 What?

Speaker 74 We did. We lost her.

Speaker 91 However, their family is trying to get her pardoned.

Speaker 91 And the idea is that her husband was much more a part of it. She wasn't really that much of a part part of it.

Speaker 91 And so it's another Hollywood cause for a long time.

Speaker 91 And then they also list, I think, maybe, maybe tongue-in-cheek, Hillary Clinton as a potential someone. But again, she's been in these FBI investigations and

Speaker 91 in effect would probably destroy your legacy, not help it.

Speaker 91 If

Speaker 147 she gets an actual pardon, are they talking maybe a pardon for John Wilkes Booth?

Speaker 89 Is it time yet?

Speaker 71 The other one.

Speaker 120 No,

Speaker 105 it's sad to say. I mean, we're joking about it.

Speaker 50 It's time.

Speaker 105 It's time.

Speaker 82 But Mudd was pardoned in the 70s.

Speaker 128 You know, the phrase, your name will be Mudd Around Here.

Speaker 105 Right, yeah.

Speaker 139 That's because of Dr. Mudd,

Speaker 26 who was pardoned like 100 years later in the murder.

Speaker 45 And I have to tell you, I disagree with it.

Speaker 128 I mean, the...

Speaker 116 You disagree with the pardon?

Speaker 137 Yeah.

Speaker 139 Mudd is the

Speaker 3 reason why they grabbed Mudd is because John Wilkes Booth broke his leg or his ankle when he jumped from the stage.

Speaker 112 Okay, so he is going across.

Speaker 128 He's trying to get across the river, trying to get away.

Speaker 3 He can't make it anymore.

Speaker 128 He hides in the bushes or whatever for a long time.

Speaker 159 He goes to see this doctor, Dr.

Speaker 103 Mudd.

Speaker 59 A Confederate of Booth says, this is a safe house.

Speaker 82 He goes in.

Speaker 112 That's where he is caught.

Speaker 167 If I'm not mistaken, he's caught on the property of Mudd.

Speaker 78 And Mudd helped fix his leg.

Speaker 82 He said he had no idea it was John Wilkes Booth.

Speaker 83 First of all, kind of hard to believe, because John Wilkes Booth was like Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaker 72 He was a big star, right?

Speaker 64 He was a huge, huge star.

Speaker 83 So pretty much everybody knew who John Wilkes Booth was.

Speaker 74 Okay.

Speaker 50 But the reason why they nabbed him and didn't believe his story is because Booth's boots, which he was wearing when he came in, were sitting there at the end or

Speaker 59 by the chair where Booth was sitting when he first came in.

Speaker 88 And they said to the doctor, what happened?

Speaker 82 He said he came in.

Speaker 78 He said he had broken his leg or his ankle.

Speaker 82 And he sat down on this chair.

Speaker 103 And his feet were swollen and his leg was swollen.

Speaker 90 So I had a hard time getting his boots off and he said those are the boots and the agent picked up the boots looked at him and said

Speaker 75 really

Speaker 103 and you didn't know it was John Wilkes Booth no I would have reported him immediately had I known he said tell me exactly how you took the boots off and he said well I was down here on my knees and I I took one boot off like this and another boot off like this and I set them right there.

Speaker 176 And he said, huh.

Speaker 120 Can everybody come around look at the top of the boot

Speaker 139 and right inside of the top of the boot where you cannot miss it it says in both boots john wilkes booth

Speaker 106 and so it's like there was no way doctor how did you miss that so that was kind of the evidence that got him

Speaker 179 but he was later pardoned um

Speaker 130 you know by i think Ford.

Speaker 51 Was it Ford that pardoned him?

Speaker 65 And Ford also pardoned Tokyo Rose, which was really, really.

Speaker 89 Which was right.

Speaker 91 By the way, there's a disagreement on the your name is Mud thing related to him. I think

Speaker 91 it was definitely recorded before

Speaker 91 this doctor. However, a lot of people think it was popularized essentially.
Because I guess like back in the day, it was used as

Speaker 91 a modifier. So as fat as mud or as sick as mud or as rich as mud is the ones that are

Speaker 91 just for whatever reason, like, you know.

Speaker 75 I hate Google. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 74 Google can wreck everything, can it?

Speaker 91 However, popular if it probably popularized the name part of that so like your name is mud after that obviously people uh tied it to that later but it does seem like it predated it so for whatever that's worth um and thank you google uh mumia abu jamal is the other one that we talked about briefly that's on this list um it looks like that wouldn't happen because it was a state conviction rather than a federal conviction does not unnamed here is the blind sheikh which you have brought up in the past as a potential uh part of and who was the other one i said mumia

Speaker 91 were the two main ones that you uh we mentioned. We also haven't even focused on the group of terrorists.
I mean, you know, we could all complain about, you know, Chelsea Manning.

Speaker 91 We could complain about, you know, these people.

Speaker 120 There are other people.

Speaker 83 I would like to mention Oscar Lopez Rivera.

Speaker 121 Oscar Lopez-Rivera.

Speaker 153 He is a Marxist communist terrorist that was pardoned yesterday.

Speaker 103 Unrepentant.

Speaker 91 And we are not the only ones complaining about the Manning thing either. I mean, we have audio from Democrats, senators who are coming.

Speaker 88 Can you play the Democratic senators, please? Before we get into the other terrorists, here are some of the Democrats that are against it.

Speaker 190 Your reaction, and how do you think the Intel community will react?

Speaker 191 I think it's dead wrong. Absolutely dead wrong.
This is treason

Speaker 74 at the highest level.

Speaker 191 What the private manning done, what Chelsea did, is absolutely found guilty, 35 years sentenced.

Speaker 191 We're going to give a green light to people, basically, with all the hacking going on now and all the cyber attacks we've got going on.

Speaker 191 My goodness, you got Snowden out there, and you've got Assad and all these people. It's just wrong.
We're not going to, I'm, for one, not going to be supportive of these types of commutes whatsoever.

Speaker 147 And this is Bob Menendez.

Speaker 191 Why do you think he did it? Did he do the right thing?

Speaker 190 Well, I don't know why he did it, and so I'll look forward to hearing his reasoning, because I just heard about it. But the reality is, I have serious concerns

Speaker 190 about equivocating sentences when national security is at stake. What happened here is that

Speaker 190 literally hundreds of thousands of of documents were released. It put national security at risk.
It put individual operatives at risk. It put our national interests at risk with other countries.

Speaker 190 And at a time that we are seriously questioning what Russia did as it relates to our recent elections and the role that WikiLeaks and a different iteration has played in that regard.

Speaker 147 I don't know that I've ever heard Bob Menendez disagree with Barack Obama.

Speaker 150 Let me ask you this.

Speaker 150 How do you get

Speaker 74 it?

Speaker 112 How do you get there if you are somebody who is saying,

Speaker 106 you know, Russia is really bad, WikiLeaks is really bad.

Speaker 82 They're responsible for giving us Donald Trump, which I don't believe.

Speaker 142 But if you're saying those things,

Speaker 12 how do you get to

Speaker 50 this is

Speaker 138 a good thing?

Speaker 122 The left.

Speaker 66 How are you getting to the guy who gave Wikileaks a lot of this information?

Speaker 58 How do you get there?

Speaker 146 And

Speaker 127 anybody on our side,

Speaker 148 how do you get to, I have a problem with this.

Speaker 91 It's just such a great thing of how meaningless this nonsense is. Sarah Palin's coming out and saying how terrible, you know, you know, Julian Assange is.
He's a traitor and everything else.

Speaker 91 And now he's the best guy in the world for the exact same reason here.

Speaker 76 The left loved when

Speaker 91 Manning did some of these things. They loved when the Bush administration got targeted targeted earlier,

Speaker 91 yet now they're on the opposite side of that.

Speaker 110 Now this,

Speaker 3 recent economic reports from both the World Bank and the IMF suggest that the proposed tax cuts will boost economic growth.

Speaker 65 World Bank, however, is warning that the tariff proposals by Donald Trump could also trigger protectionist retaliation.

Speaker 26 One way or another, we will pay for the sins of the past.

Speaker 110 And the president is not going to have the power.

Speaker 89 This is all the Fed.

Speaker 83 The president is not going to be able to do anything except deal with the aftermath.

Speaker 58 And that's what we don't want the president to do.

Speaker 83 We want us to be able to do that.

Speaker 40 We want to be able to survive.

Speaker 123 I am convinced if you have your money in the stock market, it's 1929.

Speaker 82 One of these days soon, it's going to crash.

Speaker 118 How much will you lose?

Speaker 119 In some ways.

Speaker 98 888-77-BEC.

Speaker 183 We're just talking about, in some ways, I love Google.

Speaker 110 In other ways, I hate Google.

Speaker 74 Because I mean, you were close.

Speaker 145 A good story.

Speaker 163 A good story is great to hear, but everyone takes out Google and then they nitpick every bit of the story.

Speaker 73 So Mudd wasn't Ford, it was Johnson.

Speaker 74 So that was a big one.

Speaker 147 A hundred and fifty.

Speaker 86 And that was a big one. I got

Speaker 60 this off the top of my head.

Speaker 120 But it also comes around, right?

Speaker 91 What happened with, because he was going after Carter and Reagan.

Speaker 74 Yeah, the family.

Speaker 147 They tried to clear his name and they petitioned

Speaker 147 Carter, Reagan.

Speaker 147 And so.

Speaker 90 So anyway, but the good thing about it is

Speaker 152 once you hear a good story, you can Google it and it just takes you down a wormhole of history.

Speaker 60 It is a great thing for history.

Speaker 86 It is.

Speaker 91 I am not a chef. I am not talented in the kitchen.
However, I'm not completely an idiot. And if you can hit that standard, then you got to get blue apron.

Speaker 60 Cause we are one.

Speaker 70 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 60 All right. A few things that

Speaker 60 we want to discuss.

Speaker 123 There is a really, to me, a disturbing story that is going around that the press needs to

Speaker 116 prove or disprove right now.

Speaker 127 My feeling is

Speaker 60 the reason why the

Speaker 2 birth certificate thing had legs with so many people.

Speaker 163 Again, not us.

Speaker 83 We didn't agree with that.

Speaker 82 But why it had legs with so many people people is because the press just decided to ignore it.

Speaker 113 And they ignored it for a very long time.

Speaker 58 They didn't tell the truth of where it started.

Speaker 136 It started with Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Speaker 18 They fired somebody that started it.

Speaker 151 But then it morphed and went to somebody else,

Speaker 65 just like what's being done with Trump right now.

Speaker 3 It started with a

Speaker 132 Democratic operative?

Speaker 6 No, it started with a Republican operative.

Speaker 82 They sold it to a Democrat operative, and

Speaker 88 that's how it got to the president and got it in the news.

Speaker 124 Okay?

Speaker 146 Same thing happened with Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 18 Hillary Clinton, her campaign, somebody said that.

Speaker 107 Then it jumped over after she finished a campaign, and it was Barack Obama.

Speaker 148 Then it jumped over to the Republican side.

Speaker 84 And everybody ignored it.

Speaker 157 It'll just go away.

Speaker 3 Well, in the old days, things like that would go away.

Speaker 135 But you can't ignore things.

Speaker 132 That's why Snopes is so important.

Speaker 107 Disprove these things or prove them to be accurate, but do it quickly.

Speaker 58 I believe that

Speaker 82 there is a war going on with the intelligence community right now.

Speaker 26 And Donald Trump and his surrogates are fighting a war with the intelligence community.

Speaker 83 And if we let this get out of control, it's why I said when this story broke, what, last week about all of the things, you know, Donald Trump and Russia, we need to find out.

Speaker 87 We need to answer those three buckets.

Speaker 79 Remember I broke the story up into three sections?

Speaker 87 The last section was, do we trust the intelligence community?

Speaker 82 Well, the answer to that is no, because the intelligence community has been politicized. But that doesn't mean you don't trust any of the intelligence community.

Speaker 3 It means Clapper, for instance, when he said that the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular.

Speaker 32 That was a political answer.

Speaker 82 There's no way anyone in the intelligence community believes any of that.

Speaker 72 That was a political answer.

Speaker 112 Here's the latest that needs to be disproved or

Speaker 92 needs to be exposed as the truth.

Speaker 127 I don't believe it at all.

Speaker 19 I did something unusual today.

Speaker 163 I clicked on a headline on the Drudge Report, and I only clicked on it because it was red at the top of the page.

Speaker 139 And it was, Trump operative Roger Stone survives assassination attempt.

Speaker 106 That's huge news.

Speaker 93 If indeed it's true,

Speaker 21 we search.

Speaker 82 Nobody who is legitimate is reporting this.

Speaker 165 This is the Drudge Report taking an Infowars story and putting it up to the front.

Speaker 19 The other one is WorldNet Daily.

Speaker 91 And, you know, Daily Mail also picked up. But again, it's all coming from Roger Stone tweeting about it.
That's the source. Okay.
He's saying it happened.

Speaker 97 All right.

Speaker 166 So.

Speaker 106 I'd like to see the documents that go with this.

Speaker 58 Renowned Republican operative says he's usually very healthy, but he became violently ill unexpectedly several weeks ago i'm generally a healthy person i've been a runner and a weightlifter i'm careful with my diet i'm a user of the info war supplements i have been

Speaker 74 he hugs the supplements in the middle of his poisoning confession

Speaker 98 everything

Speaker 86 is fan

Speaker 91 there's a safe guideline when roger stone is speaking he's lying yeah that's your that's my guideline okay but this is going to be believed by many people now. Not if you believe my guideline.

Speaker 91 My guideline solves this problem. Whenever Roger Stone speaks, he's lying.

Speaker 84 Correct.

Speaker 91 Period.

Speaker 121 That solves all of these issues.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 83 I ultimately went to the doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach and my own personal physician.

Speaker 82 They conducted extensive blood tests.

Speaker 79 Those blood tests were passed on to the CDC.

Speaker 61 The general consensus is I was poisoned.

Speaker 69 The general consensus?

Speaker 88 Do you remember when I was going to the doctor and we never talked about it on the air because we didn't believe it?

Speaker 128 We never believed it.

Speaker 163 Do you remember when I was first going to the doctor and I went to Columbia University, I went to,

Speaker 130 gosh, what was the other one?

Speaker 37 New York, NYU,

Speaker 87 and both doctors said,

Speaker 101 is there a chance that someone would want to kill you?

Speaker 178 I'm like, of course there's a chance that somebody wants to kill me.

Speaker 74 Yes.

Speaker 174 My name is Jeffy.

Speaker 149 We're looking into poisoning.

Speaker 127 You may have been poisoned.

Speaker 82 It describes everything that's happening in your body right now.

Speaker 26 Well, we never talked about it.

Speaker 82 We did all kinds of testing for poison.

Speaker 83 We never found

Speaker 83 anything like that.

Speaker 156 Yes. Is it possible that he went and said, and he's having some symptoms?

Speaker 66 And they said what they said to me,

Speaker 66 is there a possibility somebody wants to kill you?

Speaker 103 Yes.

Speaker 123 Well, we're looking into,

Speaker 82 poisoning would describe your symptoms.

Speaker 74 Well, yes, we've come to a consensus.

Speaker 87 We've come to a consensus.

Speaker 185 Well, especially especially if you're taking InfoWar supplements.

Speaker 147 I mean, you know, because then

Speaker 121 you know how healthy you are.

Speaker 91 I guess that's the source of the poisoning.

Speaker 71 So listen to this.

Speaker 120 So listen to this.

Speaker 3 Tell me that this doesn't become a

Speaker 122 federal case.

Speaker 137 I'll bet you that there are guidelines that if this happens, you have to report it.

Speaker 82 I was poisoned with, they now say.

Speaker 91 They.

Speaker 74 All right.

Speaker 106 They I was poisoned with, they now say, a substance that may have been polonium.

Speaker 92 Or had the characteristics of polonium.

Speaker 180 I'll tell you why here in a second.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 137 If you had, if you were poisoned with polonium-210, it's a radioactive substance.

Speaker 106 There are only two places that that can come from.

Speaker 83 The United States government or the Russian government.

Speaker 119 We're the only ones that have polonium-210.

Speaker 147 And the Russians did this with

Speaker 86 what's his face.

Speaker 89 Correct.

Speaker 123 It is the sign of Russia.

Speaker 157 They've done it a couple of times.

Speaker 114 It is the sign of a Russian hit.

Speaker 87 But here's why I bring this up.

Speaker 112 KGB has used this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 165 Stone went on to contemplate who might have been behind the possible assassination attempt.

Speaker 142 He fingers Democratic opposition.

Speaker 74 So now somebody who is a Democrat is ordering the military, because that's who would have access to it, the military

Speaker 66 to go in, steal the polonium, and get it into his body.

Speaker 146 A Democratic opposition and, quote, the intel community.

Speaker 119 Roger Stone

Speaker 3 is the dirty tricks guy.

Speaker 148 That whole phrase, dirty trickster, came in regards to Roger Stone.

Speaker 50 He is the dirty tricks.

Speaker 78 He was Richard Nixon's dirty trickster.

Speaker 123 He is now poisoning the system again

Speaker 165 and injecting into our system

Speaker 19 a lie about the intelligence community.

Speaker 156 Now, I believe it's a lie.

Speaker 137 It's important that the press doesn't just let this poison sit there because if it is not disproven, it will sit there.

Speaker 65 And in the conspiracy world, another lie will be built on top of it, and another one on top of it, and on top of it, and you'll never find the truth because you didn't dismiss the initial lie.

Speaker 106 There is a war against our intelligence agencies.

Speaker 91 And against information.

Speaker 136 And information.

Speaker 174 An info war.

Speaker 91 Just wanted to point that out.

Speaker 74 Really good point. Thank you.

Speaker 91 There's an info war going on right now

Speaker 91 against information.

Speaker 147 What if they didn't have polonium-210? They only had like 105.

Speaker 74 Polonium 105. 105.

Speaker 121 That's actually delicious.

Speaker 26 That's like one of the things that's why he has airspray, VH5 or remember the old airspray.

Speaker 77 V05?

Speaker 105 Yeah, it's the airspray stuff.

Speaker 83 They just didn't have 210.

Speaker 33 They just had V05.

Speaker 147 Yeah, not quite

Speaker 57 all the way up to 210.

Speaker 91 Obviously, I mean,

Speaker 91 a Roger Stone story broken by InfoWars. There is absolutely no reason to think that any of it is actually.

Speaker 98 And headlines on Drudge. It's Dodge's story.

Speaker 186 But Drudge is just unbreakable.

Speaker 2 It is.

Speaker 82 Drudge is a laundromat for crazy stories now.

Speaker 106 A lot of people don't understand that Matt Drudge has gone off the deep end.

Speaker 132 You cannot

Speaker 127 go to a source that is using InfoWars.

Speaker 83 What was the first thing you did when I said, here's a story, it's from InfoWars?

Speaker 9 What's the first thing you did, Stu?

Speaker 91 To check to see if anyone else is reporting it.

Speaker 128 Let's find this story from a legitimate source.

Speaker 101 There's no legitimate source that

Speaker 35 is reporting this unless they're doing what we're doing, reporting that they reported it.

Speaker 91 Right.

Speaker 91 I mean, Stone tweeted it, so people are reporting on the tweets because that's what reporters do these days. They write stories about tweets.

Speaker 185 However,

Speaker 106 the story isn't that he was assassinated.

Speaker 112 That story is that he tweeted.

Speaker 91 Now, stunningly, he says he was assassinated, or the assassination attempt happened because he was going to expose the truth about the Russian hack that no one will tell you, which just happens to be the focus of his new book.

Speaker 91 Those are all huge coincidences that just happened to play to the benefit of him selling that particular book.

Speaker 121 It's a total coincidence.

Speaker 91 One does not have anything to do with the other, just in case you were worried about that.

Speaker 122 However,

Speaker 91 this used to be something you could laugh off. I think at this point, I mean, with his connection to the president of the United States,

Speaker 91 who knows where this goes, right? I mean, you know, the guy's been a long-term best friend type of guy to Trump. So if he's in there, and, you know, who knows?

Speaker 91 Trump, I think, is smart enough to know that when you get into the Oval Office you distance yourself from morons like this whether he continued I don't know I mean I don't know he did distance himself during the campaign from this guy however it's but it was apparent they were still working together at some level this is not about Trump I mean

Speaker 5 it's much worse

Speaker 82 right yeah it's much worse if this if if Trump is still listening to this guy however this is about the media and you you cannot let these things just sit there anymore you can't ignore them.

Speaker 122 You can't ignore them.

Speaker 91 I agree with that, but I think there's more to it in this particular case from the perspective of

Speaker 91 Stone, Drudge, Infowars throughout the entire campaign, and I would assume as we go into the presidency, have been vehicles for things that the campaign didn't want to say but wanted to say. Yes.

Speaker 91 The National Enquirer is another example of this.

Speaker 91 So when these guys do this,

Speaker 91 it becomes news because of those connections. Is it possible that Trump is trying to further the narrative of the intelligence community

Speaker 91 standing up against him and fighting against him everywhere?

Speaker 91 And Stone, maybe not connected to Trump, but is trying to further that narrative for Trump.

Speaker 91 And if that is a narrative that Trump wants, which it does seem like he has, he's said it publicly several times,

Speaker 91 including referencing, obviously, the Nazi Germany thing about it.

Speaker 91 You know, it is, it does become something of interest.

Speaker 124 And you have to, you have to, you have to know it, and you have to know the truth about it.

Speaker 119 Okay, now this.

Speaker 58 this if you haven't had a chance to catch the last two episodes of the vault you need to last two episodes of the vault we took a look at the principles of the 912 project we showed you some of the artifact

Speaker 78 It is

Speaker 78 crazy.

Speaker 3 And what's craziest is

Speaker 179 it's in Bel Air, the home of all of these Hollywood people who hate capitalism.

Speaker 85 Well, and also the Fresh Prince.

Speaker 91 Well, yeah. That's where he's from.
Well, he actually was actually, Philadelphia is where he spent most of his days.

Speaker 91 He was chilling, relaxing in the pool.

Speaker 74 I think that was a TV show.

Speaker 128 Let me go to Gary in Virginia.

Speaker 74 Hello, Gary. How How are you?

Speaker 40 Line one. Gary, go ahead.

Speaker 164 Hello? Yes, go ahead, sir.

Speaker 74 You talking to me? Yeah. Is your name Gary?

Speaker 98 I'm sorry. It's okay.

Speaker 193 Hey, you guys are doing almost a reminiscence of a death pool, a release pool.

Speaker 193 You know, even though Betty White's on the death pool every year, bless our heart.

Speaker 189 She just had a birthday. But I think one person y'all are forgetting who's going to get released is Roman Kolansky.

Speaker 193 Since he's such a Hollywood hot shot. I think he would be one of the guys.

Speaker 100 Roman Polanski.

Speaker 5 Great work.

Speaker 91 I'm so pissed. That's one of those things.

Speaker 74 Thank you. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 You told that story earlier this week.

Speaker 122 I mean, we all know Roman Polanski.

Speaker 115 He's much worse than you probably remember.

Speaker 120 I mean, it's a really bad person.

Speaker 167 Boy, would that be a favor to Hollywood?

Speaker 110 Cindy in Pennsylvania, go ahead.

Speaker 195 Hi, Glenn. I just was listening.
Hi. I was listening to the opening of your program about the president operating within the parameters of the Constitution, and I agree with that 100%.

Speaker 195 However, I agree with that only

Speaker 195 in the circumstances of normal circumstances, which we have not had with eight years of Barack Obama's lawlessness. And so we are living in very much more dangerous times.

Speaker 195 And it's going to take a lot to undo the damage that he has caused, particularly in this last 30 days where the quote-unquote...

Speaker 148 So

Speaker 152 what

Speaker 83 thing are you suggesting in this emergency situation?

Speaker 83 Well,

Speaker 195 I don't want to, you know, try to make it sound like it's an emergency. However,

Speaker 195 you know, a lot of the executive orders that Barack Obama has put in place will have to be undone via executive order.

Speaker 63 That's not unconstitutional.

Speaker 120 That's not out of his purview, though.

Speaker 124 That's perfectly fine.

Speaker 174 Yeah, it's equally constitutional.

Speaker 85 That's what Obama is.

Speaker 74 Equally constitutional.

Speaker 3 I think to undo a, not a law or anything like that, but to undo a president's executive order with executive order, I think is totally fine.

Speaker 2 And it should.

Speaker 50 Now, does he then add new executive orders that put new things in place?

Speaker 32 Then that's going to be the problem.

Speaker 195 I think it's going to depend a lot. Again,

Speaker 195 we've seen a lot of seemingly sabotage in the past 30 days from Obama's

Speaker 95 what he would like to call a peaceful transition in words, but his actions speak something different. And again, I think we're just living in a much more dangerous situation right now

Speaker 95 where I don't like being spied on either.

Speaker 195 I understand where you're coming from as far as NSA and all of that. But,

Speaker 195 you know,

Speaker 195 Trump is in a very bad position.

Speaker 183 Sammy will address that when we come back.

Speaker 171 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 182 Mercury.

Speaker 58 Quick clarification.

Speaker 91 Yeah, I mentioned the Fresh Prince was born in Bel Air. She's technically in West Philadelphia, born and raised.

Speaker 91 Now, he was shooting some b-ball outside of the school when a couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in his neighborhood. He got in one little fight, and his mom got scared.

Speaker 91 He said, You're moving with your auntie and uncle to Bel Air.

Speaker 74 So that's how that happened.

Speaker 18 Okay, so Cindy just called us a few minutes ago.

Speaker 74 I want to.

Speaker 175 She said that

Speaker 162 she

Speaker 82 loves the Constitution, but we're in an extraordinary situation, and Donald Trump is going to have to do what he's going to have to do to repair the damage that has been done.

Speaker 84 No.

Speaker 147 We all love the Constitution,

Speaker 166 so

Speaker 125 I will share this with you without attaching names.

Speaker 30 At one of the networks that I worked at,

Speaker 132 I sat down with

Speaker 116 management and I was told, quote, Glenn, listen,

Speaker 167 we all love the Constitution.

Speaker 137 But there are certain things that we have to do.

Speaker 153 Thank you.

Speaker 83 I disagreed with that then, coming from a network executive.

Speaker 30 I disagree with it now.

Speaker 143 No.

Speaker 139 The Constitution is the Constitution.

Speaker 100 You want to change it, then you amend the Constitution.

Speaker 91 I mean, that's cute.

Speaker 89 You didn't say that to

Speaker 89 the television executive, did you?

Speaker 87 I did.

Speaker 156 It didn't make me popular that day.

Speaker 57 You still don't work for that. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Either one of them. We're in trouble.

Speaker 124 There's certain things that have to be done.

Speaker 98 Right.

Speaker 74 We've got to take care of some things.

Speaker 91 That is separate from what she suggested. And I think you correctly pointed out.

Speaker 91 If Obama creates an unconstitutional executive order and you can repeal that executive order by an executive order, then you do it. I mean, to go back to, I think that's fair.

Speaker 121 You go back to zero.

Speaker 117 Right, exactly.

Speaker 91 You don't pass a new executive order that does something unconstitutional in your favor. Correct.
That's not the way that that works.

Speaker 124 Correct.

Speaker 147 But it's that attitude that has gotten us where we are today.

Speaker 5 Yes. With the

Speaker 147 all the other things that have eroded our freedom.

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 3 We've got to do this because of that.

Speaker 140 No.

Speaker 83 You either have principles or you don't.

Speaker 82 And my principles are clearly spelled out in the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 8 The government cannot do these things.

Speaker 147 And we got to go back to our founders who said you can't sacrifice your freedom for your security. And that's too often what we're willing to do.

Speaker 91 We're willing to say, okay, yes, the Constitution is great,

Speaker 147 but we're in trouble right now and things are scary and there are terrorists and they got to be caught. And so

Speaker 120 look around for a while. So here's something that

Speaker 74 I'm saying.

Speaker 66 Has anybody read Defying Hitler?

Speaker 89 Not yet. Not yet.

Speaker 65 So one of the things that I found really interesting

Speaker 102 in that was it wasn't, as the author writes, and he was living through it in the 1930s.

Speaker 87 It's a book that was written in the 1930s and then found later by his family and published in the 2000s.

Speaker 3 He said,

Speaker 83 what made it so dangerous is that everyone dismissed everything that was going on by Hitler and prior to Hitler because

Speaker 110 first it was an emergency. And we had to do these things because it was an emergency during the Weimar Republic.

Speaker 132 And then it became

Speaker 87 it became settled.

Speaker 106 Everything kind of settled down.

Speaker 67 And Hitler came in.

Speaker 165 And when Hitler came in,

Speaker 35 he said the argument for what Hitler was doing by everybody, the normalcy biased, everybody was looking for it to be normal.

Speaker 110 And everybody was saying, no,

Speaker 132 he's doing it exactly constitutional.

Speaker 8 He's doing it exactly the right way.

Speaker 134 He's demanding

Speaker 84 that it be done the right way.

Speaker 154 And so everything,

Speaker 145 every law was passed.

Speaker 83 It was very important, Adolf Hitler, that it was done exactly right at the beginning.

Speaker 91 Right, partially because he had already had so many legal problems and, you know, he tried to overturn the government earlier and went to prison. Correct.

Speaker 91 So he was constantly trying to justify that his organization was legitimate.

Speaker 33 It was legitimate and lawful.

Speaker 82 And then, of course, in the end, everything was suspended and it became him.

Speaker 79 And so he had his way.

Speaker 101 So make no mistake,

Speaker 15 fascism and totalitarianism can happen through lawlessness.

Speaker 93 or by controlling the government and passing all of the exact laws and dotting all the I's.

Speaker 168 That cannot be done with our Constitution because of the Bill of Rights.

Speaker 132 You cannot pass laws that

Speaker 176 spy on people, that round people up, that quarter people into your homes, that hold you without trial.

Speaker 76 None of that.

Speaker 140 The one thing that Hitler did not have was the Constitution of the United States.

Speaker 101 No country on earth has the Constitution.

Speaker 136 If we dismiss it now in easy times, when hard times come, it will for sure be dismissed.

Speaker 9 And then all of your protections go away.

Speaker 89 And it is the law that is doing it to you.

Speaker 74 And believe me,

Speaker 156 we're going to be telling a story of a lawsuit that has happened to me.

Speaker 107 recently that my First Amendment attorneys could not believe.

Speaker 67 And

Speaker 82 it had everything to do with the United States government.

Speaker 8 The things the government claims they can do and now do

Speaker 2 will astonish you to the point to where I said to my attorney,

Speaker 123 wait a minute,

Speaker 82 there's no way for me to defend myself.

Speaker 101 Because the government is holding all the cards and we have no access to any any of those cards, even though they admit they have the cards.

Speaker 153 Yes.

Speaker 153 Well,

Speaker 45 why can't I get those cards to defend myself?

Speaker 87 Well, the Constitution requires them.

Speaker 58 If it is in your defense, you have to be able to have them.

Speaker 82 So why aren't they giving them?

Speaker 79 Because they claim they don't have to do it anymore.

Speaker 98 Oh, okay.

Speaker 92 I'm telling you, when it is you

Speaker 119 that is sitting across from the the government and the government holds all of the cards and you no longer have power.

Speaker 51 You no longer work for you

Speaker 119 and the government no longer works for you.

Speaker 148 You now answer to the government.

Speaker 163 When they have that kind of total control, you're in trouble.

Speaker 141 And we're already there.

Speaker 93 They just haven't exercised it in any meaningful way.

Speaker 76 But we're already there.

Speaker 132 You cannot lose any more rights.

Speaker 65 The Constitution.

Speaker 32 We all love the Constitution.

Speaker 141 Period.

Speaker 119 No, but.

Speaker 141 Period.

Speaker 138 Mark, you're on the Glenbeck program.

Speaker 75 Hello, Mark.

Speaker 5 Yes, go ahead. Hello, I'm here.
Can you hear me now? Yes, go ahead.

Speaker 194 Okay, hey, hi to you and the guys there. Hey, you know, when you get bureaucrats in office, especially when they're liberal, it's almost impossible to get rid of them.

Speaker 194 I was reading an article a month ago. There were 122 positions that were usually political

Speaker 194 appointees that the Civil Service Department has deemed 87 of them now as permanent jobs that Obama has filled. So how do we go about getting those changed back?

Speaker 194 So that way the will of the President can be done.

Speaker 169 You do it.

Speaker 189 Usually, can he do it?

Speaker 179 Yeah,

Speaker 82 the couple of things, yes, because all of the departments

Speaker 90 are under the President of the United States.

Speaker 89 So there's a couple.

Speaker 189 How do you get rid of of those bureaucrats who are entrenched, who pass these quote-unquote mandates and laws?

Speaker 105 You do this.

Speaker 110 The first thing you do is you give the power back to Congress and you support, what is it, the Reigns Act, which actually gives the power back to Congress.

Speaker 82 Nothing can be passed by these departments.

Speaker 151 They cannot act on their own.

Speaker 107 Congress writes all laws, which is a redrawing of the lines of the Constitution and just making the Constitution in bolder print and taking away the power of these.

Speaker 93 So you won't have to worry about anything future.

Speaker 145 Then the best way to...

Speaker 194 Does Paul Ryan and McConnell have the backbone for it?

Speaker 70 I don't know, but I know that.

Speaker 91 I think they might actually, I mean, I think it might actually get through. Obviously, Trump would need to sign it, but I think he would.

Speaker 83 It is the number one

Speaker 82 agenda item for people in the freedom movement.

Speaker 5 But Mike Lee in particular has led the charge on this, among others.

Speaker 2 He says this will fix 90%

Speaker 84 of what is wrong with regulation.

Speaker 91 Yeah, any big regulation that costs, I don't know, was it $100 million or more? I think that's the number,

Speaker 91 has to go back and go through Congress. You can't just make these things up where you're spending all this money and affecting our economy.

Speaker 91 So it would be a really positive change if we can get that done.

Speaker 40 Big, big. And that would

Speaker 58 declaw things like the EPA.

Speaker 40 The other way...

Speaker 194 I know $100 million is a drop in the bucket to the federal government, but I think they should lower that a little bit.

Speaker 121 I happen to agree with you, Mark.

Speaker 83 But remember, it's $100 million, it's an impact, a total impact of $100 million.

Speaker 40 You get there quickly.

Speaker 82 You pass one thing about a bakery, and

Speaker 106 if it's costing these bakeries $25,000 to do something, you're already at the $100 million

Speaker 102 mark.

Speaker 73 So thank you very much for your phone call.

Speaker 82 But I think they should lower it as well.

Speaker 83 The other thing that I've heard that Trump is considering that I hope he does is

Speaker 129 cutting through attrition.

Speaker 83 The best way to cut some of these programs that everybody says are, you know, can't be cut is

Speaker 119 no more hiring.

Speaker 148 Anyone retires, anyone quits, anyone is fired.

Speaker 15 Goes away. It goes away.

Speaker 42 No more.

Speaker 2 You could cut 10%

Speaker 130 every year.

Speaker 126 No more hires.

Speaker 91 And that is part of, that was a campaign promise from Trump as well.

Speaker 89 That would be very good.

Speaker 91 By the way, it is $100 million or more. But to give you a sense of what these agencies do, just take one agency, the EPA.

Speaker 91 Just the EPA during Obama's two terms have passed $750 billion

Speaker 91 of regulations.

Speaker 3 $100 million is actually a pretty low bar.

Speaker 91 The caller is correct in that. It's a drop in the bucket for the government, and it seems like a big number.

Speaker 91 But when it comes to economic impacts of these things, it's going to be tough for them to pass any regulation.

Speaker 91 Any regulation that screws with the economy in any way is going to be very difficult for them to pass if this actually comes to fruition and is not ignored, which I would not be stunned to see a bunch of Republican senators pass this thing and then find ways to constantly ignore it.

Speaker 91 However,

Speaker 91 I mean, that would come from these agencies, and

Speaker 91 it's the one thing you can appeal to.

Speaker 91 You could say to the senators, hey, you get more power. House members, you get more power.

Speaker 91 It's no longer out of your hands. Of course, the left likes it being,

Speaker 91 likes the idea that there's no checks and balances. So they're going to oppose it.
Because

Speaker 93 that way the government can do what it does.

Speaker 156 When it's successful, they can take the credit.

Speaker 87 When it's not successful, they can say that they're against it and they've got to clean up government, and that's why you need us.

Speaker 78 I mean, it's the perfect foil

Speaker 15 for people in power is not having to actually write these these laws and letting a faceless bureaucrat do it.

Speaker 130 And it's why we never had that until the progressive era.

Speaker 58 One more call quickly from Los Angeles.

Speaker 103 Cornelius, go ahead.

Speaker 196 Hey, Glenn and Jeffy, Pat, and Stu. I met you at Barnes and Noble in Shreport when you signed that book for Christmastime, but I like the, it's all about Islam.

Speaker 74 Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 17 I should have known by the name Cornelius, but definitely the accent does not scream L.A., it screams Louisiana.

Speaker 196 I'm not in L.A., the other L.A.

Speaker 196 But oh, Brad Staggs was with you and Miss Beth.

Speaker 196 I was the one that gave you that pardon paperwork and told you about Bobby Jindal. Because I was trying to get my pardon, too.
But apparently President Obama doesn't have time for me.

Speaker 74 You got a couple days.

Speaker 98 Yeah, well, I...

Speaker 74 Hold your breath.

Speaker 169 Look, look.

Speaker 196 He's parting a she and a yid, so you know what that is. So, you know, so he can pardon these terrorists, like you say, and all these other people.
But somebody that really needs a pardon and stuff.

Speaker 196 And, like I said, I'll be honest with you, I'm a Trump supporter. I happen to be an African-American.

Speaker 196 And I was one of the few African-Americans, if not the only one, at that book signing in Shreport at Barnes and Noble.

Speaker 196 And if you go over the tape, you'll see me. And Pat and Stu, I talked to you.
I waited five hours to talk to Glenn. No, no, I'm talking about this.

Speaker 5 No,

Speaker 97 this was years ago on your show.

Speaker 152 No, I

Speaker 91 want to hear how many minutes he waited to talk to us.

Speaker 77 I got to run now.

Speaker 119 We're out of time.

Speaker 33 I wish we would have gotten to the point, but thank you so much.

Speaker 115 Now this. We've talked about being prepared for hurricanes, droughts, and other

Speaker 17 natural disasters.

Speaker 90 This is one reason why to have an emergency food kit.

Speaker 110 Another reason is

Speaker 106 we've always had this.

Speaker 164 As people, we have always had this.

Speaker 82 72 hours, you could lose your electricity in a snowstorm. You could

Speaker 163 have some sort of power outage for some reason or another.

Speaker 180 The stores could close for some natural disaster.

Speaker 46 You have an earthquake, hurricane.

Speaker 109 You have three days worth of food.

Speaker 139 Most of us have ketchup packages and duck sauce.

Speaker 57 If it's not in the refrigerator, I'll go to the store and get it.

Speaker 138 72 hours is what the Department of Homeland Security recommends.

Speaker 110 It is the most basic.

Speaker 159 Right now, you can get a 72-hour emergency food kit for $10.

Speaker 66 Pat, have you ever seen anything like that?

Speaker 91 $10?

Speaker 147 No, it's a great thing. Three days of food? It's a great deal.

Speaker 100 This has everything you need: breakfast, lunch, and dinner per person, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, all the drinks, everything for $10.

Speaker 135 All you have to do is go to preparewickglenn.com. That's preparewickglenn.com.

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

Speaker 181 This is the Glenn Beck program.

Speaker 183 Well, I have about a minute left. I have another phone call I want to take.

Speaker 60 He makes a great point.

Speaker 183 I want to take it. We're tight on time, less than a minute left.
So,

Speaker 27 Pete, get right to your point.

Speaker 30 Hi, Glenn. Yes.

Speaker 197 Glenn, hi, it's Pete.

Speaker 30 Hi, Pete.

Speaker 17 Yes, go ahead.

Speaker 73 We only have about a minute left.

Speaker 41 Alright, just tell your phone screener, Keith.

Speaker 153 Right.

Speaker 198 He's a Falcons fan, and I don't really like the Falcons.

Speaker 197 I like the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 83 He has nothing to do with your point.

Speaker 198 So I was telling him the Packers probably going to win. But listen, hey, I'm a long time...

Speaker 197 Listener, and I've called 29 times, but...

Speaker 3 Usually because you're good and you got right to the point.

Speaker 198 Well, 21 of those times the line was busy, and so I didn't get through.

Speaker 197 But I've talked to you eight times, the first of which, when I was in Bemidji, Minnesota, on some business,

Speaker 198 I sell computer well, not computer.

Speaker 50 Can you get to your point? We're about 20 seconds.

Speaker 197 And I was watching you at the print shop on a television they had behind the desk. And I said to the person, Who's that guy with the gray hair?

Speaker 89 We're out of time, I already said this.
