The Blaze Radio Network. On demand. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck. All right. We've got a lot to say about the budget. Last night had to be one of the weirdest and ridiculous nights of government that I have maybe ever seen.

If you watch C-SPAN. Let me rephrases because this is a phrase that has never been uttered before. Did you watch C-SPAN last night? No! But if you would have watched C-SPAN, you might have actually been entertained if it didn't mean slavery to our children. Last night's theatrics, if it had a musical score,

it would have been somewhere between circus music and the Benny Hill theme. I expected that three-wheel car to come in and just tip over. The Senate agreed two days ago on a long-term bipartisan budget deal that is the equivalent of a massive raging dumpster fire. Now here's the thing. This isn't actually a budget.

This is a continuing resolution. This is vote for everything the government does, no exceptions, no changes, except a change in increasing the spending, or shut down the government. This set the tone for last night when Rand Paul stood up in front of, Senate Republicans and called out their hypocrisy.

Paul didn't pull any punches. He straight up called them all hypocrites and warned that a, quote, day of reckoning is coming. Thank you, Rand Paul, for being a voice of reason. Thank you for actually warning the country on what's coming. If they don't pay attention, their own blood and the blood of their children are on their hands. You did your job. same with Mike Lee Rand Paul is right

and every Republican in that room that did agree with him back in 2011 they all fought the Democrats to install budget caps this is out of control spending this new budget obliterates all those debt caps

and sets the precedent for this to get even worse in the years to come. Wow. The Republicans, they suddenly have become enlightened. They've had a change of heart. They don't want children

to starve to death anymore. They're not trying to kill all of the people that just can't get hospital care. Oh my gosh. Or did they actually not ever really believe in fiscal responsibility to begin with? Or were they just

playing partisan politics? Spoiler alert, it's the last part. The truth is, they just wanted to win in 2011, and so they knew if we imposed debt caps, well, we'll convince the American people that if you vote for us, things are going to be different. Well, they are different to the tune of $2 trillion of more debt in the next two years.

That's great. So Bravo, to Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and anyone else that stood up and actually said out loud what some on the Senate floor might have been thinking and feeling if they were still thinking and feeling people. Paul kept his criticism going long enough to delay the vote, which actually caused the government to shut down just for a little bit, just a couple of minutes.

In the end, it was valiant but a losing effort. The Senate voted 71 to 28. to pass the deal. Democrats voted against the deal, but not because of the budget. It didn't do enough for those who are here illegally. It shot over to the House for a quick vote to try to avoid the shutdown extending into Friday. Over at the House, Nancy Pelosi urged her colleagues not to show their hand until they knew how many Republicans would vote yes. And as the pressure finally mounted, she declared that she wouldn't vote because of DACA, of course. But, but, But you wouldn't hold anybody else back from voting for it.

One by one, Democrats voted yes, they started to flood in. I don't know if Nancy Pelosi is just full-fledged. Not in her right mind? Or if she's auditioning for an acting gig. Because neither her theatrics last night nor her eight-plus hour-long DACA speech had any value beyond pure theater. Last night, if you watched C-SPAN, which nobody did, it was kind of entertaining. If you're suicidal, if you were bored, nerdy, and really rooting for the destruction of America,

you loved it. What else beyond a good movie or bad, ineffective government can deliver laughs and tears? all in one episode. It's Friday, February 9th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you are disgusted as I am by what is happening in Congress, I want to play something from Mike Lee. And he explains, because the American people are like,

why can't they just all get into a room and work it out? He explains this. He says, the reason why, we're in the room. We're in the room right now. We're all together, but they're not asking us to work it out. Because this is a continuing resolution, and this is not the way you govern anything. Because it leaves the American people out. The American people, what happens is Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer get together behind closed doors,

and they make every spending decision. Then they bring it to the floor, and they say to the Senate and to the House, vote for this, of it, no changes, or shut the government down. Well, gang, what is that? That's not our republic. That's not the way it works. We've been concerned. We were concerned under Obama that there might be a dictatorship.

The left is now concerned that under Donald Trump, there might be a dictatorship. There might be a dictatorship. There already is a dictatorship. and it's happening in the House and the Senate. The dictators are Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. They are dictating. You vote for this or I'll throw you to the wolves. You vote for all of the things that Chuckie and I have just worked out,

including things that go wildly against everything that your voters may have voted for, the things that your supporters went into the voting booth and said, They're going to do this. You don't even have a voice. You shut it down or you take it all. Here's how Mike Lee explained this to, tried to explain this to America, but America wasn't listening. Listen to his explanation about the grocery store. I've thought about this on many occasions and have there are very few circumstances in our day-to-day lives.

that are like the way Congress spends money. It's occurred to me that if you moved into a new area, a very remote area, and you had access to only one grocery store for many, many miles, for many, many hours. And you were on your way home from work. Your spouse called you and said, stop at the store, pick up bread, milk, and eggs.

And so you go to the store and you get your grocery cart. You go to the bread aisle, and you put a loaf of bread in your cart, and a carton of milk and a dozen eggs, and you get to the checkout counter, and you put out your bread and your milk and your eggs, and the cashier rings those things up and says, I'm sorry, you may not purchase bread, milk, and eggs,

unless you also purchase a half ton of iron ore and a bucket of nails, and a book about cowboy poetry, and a Barry Manilow album. In fact, this is a special kind of store where you have to buy all of those things, and in fact you have to buy one of every item in this entire store,

in order to buy any of these things, including the bread, the milk, and the eggs. Well, that would start to approximate what it feels like to spend money in Congress, where we're told you can't fund any part of government unless you're willing to fund all of government, subject to such changes as the few people who write the continuing resolution might insert. And you, by the way, having been duly elected by the citizens of your state, will be left out of the process other than the exercise, the binary choice of yes or no.

And so, Mr. President, we've seen that this is how we get to be $20 trillion in debt, soon to be $22 trillion in debt. We don't get to be $20 trillion, soon to be $22 trillion in debt, without a whole lot of agreement on part of a whole lot of people to do that.

It's a bipartisan exercise, to be sure. Bipartisan ship is necessary, But the fact that it's bipartisan doesn't always make it holy. You don't get to be $20 trillion in debt without a whole lot of Republicans agreeing with a whole lot of Democrats that we're going to do precisely that. It might in order to the benefit of a few people who stand to benefit every time the government gets bigger

or more expensive every time we do things this way, but it hurts everyone else. The process matters. The fact is we will not always come to an agreement. as to how much we opt to spend. We will not always come to an agreement as to those things on which we will be spending the requisite amount of money.

But I think we should be able to agree that the American people deserve a process, one that allows them to be heard through the people's own elected representatives. This is Mike Lee last night, explaining we can get angry, about the spending. If you're on the left, you can be angry about DACA. But that's not the problem here. The problem is there's no debate. The problem is the continuing resolution. The problem is

we haven't had a government pass a budget since Bush was in office. That's the problem. The continuing resolutions mean that you are cut out of the process because your elected senator, your elected representative has no voice, no way to stand up and say, wait a minute. This part of the spending shouldn't be happening. This we can cut back and still fund the rest of the government. This is a dictatorship. And the dictators are not in the oval. The dictators are in the Senate. The dictators are in the House. And they're called Republican and Democratic leadership. They call all of the shots. They are dictating every single dollar, and they're telling all of the other representatives, get in line, or I throw you to the wolves. If you want to talk about

spending, let's play the gas station audio from Rand Paul. The Department of Defense, last year, we found this out, spent $45 million on a natural gas gas station in Afghanistan. $45 million. It was projected to cost $500,000. 86 some odd overruns, you know, of cost overruns, $45 million. So you're scratching your head and you're saying, natural gas gas station, what is that? We don't have one in my town.

We don't have any in my town either. They didn't have any in Afghanistan. But you know what? They decided that they needed to reduce the carbon footprint of Afghanistan. Oh, dear God. All right. They wanted to reduce the carbon footprint of Afghanistan. I thought the military's job was to kill the enemy.

So the military's job now is to reduce their carbon footprint. So they bought a $45 million gas station that serves up natural gas, and guess what they discovered? They kept waiting. So there's a guy sitting next to the pump. You can imagine him sitting on a stool, and he's waiting for customers. No one ever came. And then someone said, oh, my goodness, they don't have any cars that run on natural gas.

Well, that would probably be the same if you came to my town in Kentucky. Almost nobody's got a car in America. They live in a primitive state in Afghanistan, and you're expecting them to have natural gas cars? So they said, well, gosh, we already built this $45 million gas station. Maybe we should buy them some cars. So they bought them some cars with your money. They paid for the gas station with your money. Now they bought them some cars with your money.

But then the people still wouldn't come in. They said, we don't have any money. And they said, okay, well, we've got the gas station. We've got your cars. You need a credit card. So we gave them credit cards. So they have a U.S. credit card that you pay for to take their natural gas card that you paid for to go to a natural gas gas station because we're reducing the carbon footprint in Afghanistan. I mean, that story.

Oh, my. Congratulations. Republicans. We have the House. We have the Senate. And we have the White House. When we have all three, things are going to change. Let me talk about something happy.

Let me talk about Valentine's Day. I mean, let me talk about the person in your life that you love and loves you and things make sense in the world.

Glenn Beck, Mercury. Glenn Beck. You know, I would love, libertarians are missing the opportunity of a lifetime. Libertarians could actually make all the difference. People are looking for an end of this nonsense. But listen to this. Millennials want a different party. they would drop the current party that they're in

at a rate of 71% if they had one. Reason reported on Wednesday that Larry Sharp, one of the more serious libertarian candidates who came in second for the race in 2016 for VP, recently resigned from his post as an alternate representative for Region 8th, the Libertarian National Committee, and for a good reason. Sharp couldn't stomach the vice chair of the Libertarian National Committee,

Arvin Vohara, who recently posted on Facebook that an adult having sex with a 14-year-old is not the state's business. And those that are engaged in military service should be seen as immoral killers. Sharp didn't want Vohara kicked out of the party for these views. he said he's more than welcome you can have those points of views because we're not in the business of thought police but he wanted him taken out of his position so someone with a little more sense

could help lead the party for the future and the libertarian party voted no what the hell is wrong with you people seriously what is wrong with you what do you mean by you people people pedophiles is that who you're going after now You're hungar? Yeah.

Yeah, I am. What is wrong with? Look, I understand having different points of view. I understand having a big party. I understand. But if you are your leadership, your leadership thinks that an adult can have sex with a 14-year-old, you should not be in a leadership role. What is wrong with you?

Unless it's Nambla. right? Unless it's Nambla, you can be in the leadership role there. Yes. That's a good place. Right. You know, like he's an anarchist. So he believes, he also said in the statement that he believes there should be no government. Now, good. I, like, I understand that. There's the people who out there who believe it. But why are you in a political party in leadership of a party that's trying to get elected if you believe there's no government? There should be no government at all. You know, uh,

uh, uh, Pend Gillette, good friend of mine. He believes, he says, I'm really more of an anarchist. An anarcho-capitalist.

Yes. Okay. So he believes in almost no government, if no government at all. But he has also said, Glenn, you and I are not going to have an argument for 30 years. I just want to make the government smaller.

We'll get down to what is really necessary in 30 years. It'll take us 30 years to get, there. I have no problem with that because you're not saying, hey, by the way, you know, you vote for us and there's not going to be any loss. You want to have sex with a eight-year-old? Who doesn't? Huh? Am I right? Glenn? Back. Mercury. You can't start a diet on the weekend. It's impossible. That's why Monday is the perfect day to start a diet because you're coming off of the weekend or maybe you had a little bit of too much to eat, let me a little bit too much to drink, and you need to take a positive step.

I am so glad that you're here. Bill O'Reilly is joining us in just. just a few minutes. I want to take your phone calls. I have a couple of things that we really, really have to get to today that some of them are more fun. I mean, it is Friday. And it is Stu's birthday. And Doc Thompson is here from the morning blaze. Happy birthday. Thank you so much, we brought you a cake. Now, you did. Now, Doc, I just have to ask you a question. And I just, yeah, yeah, this cake is from the cake boss. That's what we hear. What do you mean, that's what you hear? That's the rumor around the office.

You either know or you don't know. There's some dispute, but I think it is. Okay. All right. May I ask, how many birthday cakes, you know, happy birthday stew, how many birthday cakes say you're welcome on top of it? Not many. Not many. So when it was brought in, you guys said the morning plays is got this for you, Stu.

Yes. But it doesn't say happy birthday stew. it says, you're welcome. Right. You're welcome that we got you this cake. Because I know you're thinking, thanks for the birthday. You didn't want to take the time. We're all about the economy here.

We're an economy. Let's get it out there. Right. You'll get the clutter out of the way, Glenn. Right. That's good. So you give somebody a present that just says you're welcome. And by the way, now it's time to move that cake over to Glenn because your birthday's

coming up tomorrow. Yes. And you are welcome. I don't want to be welcome. That's a second-hand cake. And it's a second hand cake because it's a second hand cake for stew. He, that's the cake was not designed for him. Yes, Jeffie was also welcome to it.

Jeffrey was welcome to it this morning. No way Jeffie saw that. Because it has not, that doesn't even have, oh my gosh, it does look on this side. It does have fingerprints in it. So it may be third hand for you and fourth hand for you. But nevertheless. Okay. You're welcome.

Okay. Thank you very much, Doc. I appreciate it. You know, what is it with you guys with food? Because you have. Uh-huh. you have food from really good people here all the time. Yeah, we have our own chef, Patrick Moser too.

You have your own chef. Yeah, yeah. He comes in and cooks for us for us time. He's on the show with us at FoodBizPro. So we interview him because, you know, because what? He's so interesting. Well, sure, of course. That's the reason why, you know.

Oh, my gosh. And he's willing to do that. Right. That's what it's about business and food. I'm at some, you have, honestly, you have some of the greatest listeners and I met a couple that make their own coffee and it is the greatest story I've heard in so long. I love these people. Yeah, it's, our listeners are great and I think part of the reason is too because they hold us accountable that, you know, we've kind of created that hold us

accountable transparency. So they get it and then they tweet with us regular but this is a DM and his wife. They're from Des Moines and they were looking for some change in their life. Their entrepreneurial spirit. What can we do? And every year they take a transition. to Yellowstone. And they drive out to Yellowstone. And on the way back, their car breaks down. And they don't have the money. And they can't get it fixed. And they're stuck. And they're like, this is our sign. We've got to do something different. So he goes back. And he was never even that passionate about coffee, but had an interest in it. And started roasting beans in hot air poppers to try to teach himself on how to do it. And developed the system eventually got a roaster. And now they

have their own line of coffees called American Pride. American Pride Roasters.com. The coffee is sensational. They do a great job. And all of the coffees are named after founding fathers. Or there's some others. Like he's named some other celebrity ones. Like there's a bacon blast that he named after me. I think that's bacon blast. That's not your name. No, Doc Thompson's bacon. Oh, okay. My middle name's bacon though. That's a little bit back. You're welcome. Yes. You're welcome. My parents, big fan of pork belly. But right. But yeah. So it's and they tell little stories. the founding fathers. There's some lesser known founding fathers. Let me throw one to me.

Yeah, here's the Philip. I tell you, they were here last week, and they were just brewing coffee all week, and it smelled so good. They do a really good job with the flavored stuff, because the flavored coffee that they make isn't like an overwhelming, like, syrupy, whatever flavor. It's just kind of the hint of it, whatever, because you don't want coffee flavor.

And done as a cold brew, it's sensational, but they're really good people. So if you go to Americanprideroasters.com, you can check it out. Listen to this. Listen to this. And I'm pretty good with the founding father. We did. founding father Fridays for how long? Yeah. Philip Mazzie, I think. Chocolate Biscotti coffee.

Lesser known, a founder, but very important to American history. Philip Mazee was an Italian physician and a close personal friend of Thomas Jefferson. During the American Revolution, Mazzie operated as a secret agent, purchasing and shipping weapons to the colonial army. After the war, he traveled throughout Europe, promoting Republican ideals, and even wrote the history of the American Revolution. Philip Mazzie is a full city roast blend coated with chocolate biscottie flavoring. It's an awesome coffee. Oh my gosh, I get that. Can I open it?

Absolutely. Yeah, smell it. You'll absolutely love it. So, yeah, he does a lot of the different. I don't want to be a Mormon. I really don't. I mean, you're actually losing out on this one. This is not good for you.

This is the time that you're like, God, this isn't good for or whatever. My faith or my coffee. Oh, I go for coffee. My wife and I, we just had a baby a couple weeks ago and named our son after. George With, one of the signers from Virginia. Yeah, yeah. And there's a Withville, Virginia, and a With County or whatever. Of course, she didn't like the name, the pronunciation.

George Whith. We called him Yeth. Yeah, there was. That's our son. So I need to get him to make a With brand. So then I can give it to my son. Right. Okay, good. Well, you're welcome about your son. Thank you. Thank you very much. Just hand me that cake. We're good to go.

What is the name of the road? What is the American Pride Roasters.com. American Pride Roaster. I wish you could meet these people. You know, I wish you could meet them. because they are so sincere and so kind and gentle. My gosh, they're good people.

They have several blends that are just for charity that they give a portion of charity. They've helped some, you know, and I'm not talking like the big known charities, like individual people that they've met, that they're like, let's name this and a percentage goes after them. Really amazing people.

Yeah, they're great people. Americanprideroasters.com. Thank you very much, Doc. I appreciate it. Hey, by the way, Monday, let's have Sarah and Pat and Doc in with us for an hour. There's a new show starting on the Blaze.

and it is a roundtable. It's called The News and Why It Matters. So we all talk about the one story that we think is the big story of the day. Can I be a part of that show? And why? What a surprise you are. Oh, that's really cool.

That's fun. And so anyway, so that starts Monday at 530 Central, right? 530 Eastern. 530 Eastern. And you don't want to miss it. It's a lot of fun. Pat Gray is going to be on it, though? Yeah, we kind of, you know, that limp leg.

Okay. I'm curious about the seating arrangement, but other than that, I'm in. Yeah, you're next to him. Oh, that's going to be trouble. Yeah. All right. Thanks a lot, Doc. I appreciate it.

And thanks for the, Your Welcome cake. You're welcome. Never had a Your Welcome cake before. I mean, let's really try to figure this out. What the hell? What do you think that was for? Who sends a, I need a Your Welcome cake? I mean, I really think it's an efficiency situation.

You know the person's going to say you're welcome when you give him the cake. So it's just on the cake and you don't have to bother with it. I don't think that's... That's a good... That seems beyond the point of usual American laziness. Laisiness? Were the people that... Didn't we come up with the assembly line?

Yeah, this is not efficiency. This is... That's laziness. That's laziness. Look, it's a birthday cake. I knew you were going to say thank you. So, you're welcome. Right.

That way I don't have to say it. No, because what the problem is is, is... Yeah. If the other, the recipient isn't lazy, they'll call you and say, what the hell is your welcome cake? And then it takes a long time to explain it. Right. And nobody believes you. And you didn't save any time.

So I'm seriously wondering who that cake was for. What would that cake be for? You're really focused on the wrong thing. It's a red velvet cake from some famous baker. I don't care what the hell it says. I have, I've lost 15 pounds in the last, what, since January 1 or something. and what I found is avoiding your welcome cakes helps you lose weight.

I don't know for sure. I'm just writing some of these stats down. Do you have a theory? Because I don't know why. My theory is the less you eat, the thinner you become. I don't follow. Can we in the commercial get into it?

Yeah, in the break. Yeah, okay.

I'm still so frustrated with the libertarian party right now because it's the biggest lost opportunity I think I've ever seen. I just, I don't understand what they're doing. You know, the last time they ran, they ran people who were not libertarian. They just were not libertarian. They were for bigger government. They were for instance, they were for telling people, religious people, exactly what to do. Well, I don't want religious people telling people what to do, and I don't want non-religious people telling what religious people should do. I don't leave each other alone.

Leave each other alone. But there is something to be said for nature's laws. I believe nature's God, but if you're an atheist, just nature's laws. There are a set of principles, and they are outlined in our Declaration of Independence, and they are outlined in our Constitution. Now, if you are so far over the edge that you think the Constitution is worthless, well, then what are you doing?

What are you doing? Because, you know, it's like Lenin said in revolution. You know, if you're holding up, I can't remember the exact line, but if you're holding up signs with Mao, we're going to change your head. I mean, it's, it's, you're fighting a losing battle. The American people are not there.

The American people are starving for common sense. They're starving for limited government that makes sense. They're starving for the libertarian principles. And libertarians have to decide, am I a science experiment? Am I just a book that makes people think deeply and think different thoughts? or do you actually want to help? Do you actually want to apply reasonable principles and lead this country out of darkness?

When you say, well, we're libertarian, so, you know, anything goes, anybody wants to speak, and you allow somebody to come up and strip on stage, you are no longer talking about applied politics. It's a party. Yeah, literally. It's a fun weekend. It's a fun weekend. That would have another convention, by the way.

Correct. You know, this latest is they've got a guy on the committee that is saying, you know, adults should have, be able to have sex with a 14-year-old. Well, you know what? You can have that debate at your parties, but you're not going to get the American people to go there. And are you really seriously willing to stand up when the country, when we're about to lose all of it, and you're going to stay? stand by a guy who says

an adult should have sex with a child? You could have that debate all you want, but it has no place in today's politics. The house is on fire. What do you say? You grab a hose. I'm just so frustrated because people want to change.

And if there was a principled party that said, look, we're going to take atheists and we're going to take Christians, and we're going to take Muslims, and we're going to take Jews, But the ones that all agree, the government has no role whatsoever in establishing which one of you guys is right, people would go. They would flock. If you had a government, if you had a party that said, hey, spending is out of control and we have to start reeling it back in.

And it is going to mean cuts, but we're not going to do all of it at once. we're just going to reverse thrusters for a while and take it piece by piece. Somebody who would say, look, I'm against the drug war. I am against I'm against

drug laws because they don't work. It's like prohibition. I am for the legalization of almost every drug, if not every drug, but not today. You cannot reverse this and just pull

these laws out when you have a nation that has been trained to have their hands out, has been trained that daddy will always take care of you. You have to slowly reverse it and teach people how to stand on their own two feet. But by having stupid arguments about hookers, heroin, and 14-year-olds having sex with adults, you have no place in American politics right now. You don't want to become the Jared Fogel Party. That's not a good position. position, you know, for a political party. It's so frustrating because they have it. I mean, they don't have it, though.

They don't. I love, you know, libertarian principles. I'm with you, but the party does not have it in that way. They, you know, again, here's a guy who is seemingly a serious candidate that decides to align himself, which is a risk with the libertarian party at this point. and he is he this controversy happens for someone saying

basically there should be no laws government should have no role in sex whatsoever was this was the summary of his position we keep saying the 14 year old because that was the hypothetical but his his summary was no government has no role in sex whatsoever so you know like I think it goes further than that and then what happens the candidate with credibility has to leave

and the guy who's like ah yeah sex with 14 year olds and below he stays You know, and then to call our military killers. Right. That's ridiculous. I mean, that is, that's not where the American people are. We don't want, we want an end to these wars. We want our people to come home.

We want a welcome home parade that the people pay for if they want it. Glenn, not the government. Mercury. Courage. Truth. Glenn. Let me talk to you about the stock market yesterday. Stock market was pretty ugly.

after nine years of market growth, the smooth sailing is finally getting a little choppy. What? Yesterday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped another 1,032 points. Second day this week that the Dow has lost over 1,000 points. Monday's loss was the largest single-day drop on record. Okay, well, the stock market is really super high. Yesterday was the second largest. The next two biggest single-day point drops in record happened in,

2008. So the Dow has now dropped into what is called correction territory, which means it's down 10% from the highest point of over 26,000 on January 26th. The Dow hasn't been in a correction since February of 2016. Corrections happen. I'd love to have, you know, a correction not so dramatic. You know, I'd love it to actually be rooted in something reasonable. But we have haven't had that for a few years. It would have to drop another 10% now to be considered a bare market. When the market is in correction, it usually indicates that investors are turning pessimistic about the markets.

However, a correction doesn't mean that the market is unraveling. Since 1998, there have been 10 corrections, including yesterday's. Only two of those corrections continued into a decline into a bare market. Now, everybody is scrambling for an explanation of this week's shaky market. No one knows whether this volatility will last days, weeks, months, are we headed for the Great Depression? Maybe, maybe not. Doubtful, I don't think so. Investors seem to be nervous about inflation.

That's logical. They are nervous that the Federal Reserve is going to raise interest rates faster than originally thought. I believe that true, to be true. Fear about inflation is driven by good things, an increase in wages, which are now rising at the fast. fastest rate since 2009. So while the market is acting weird this week, it seems to be, you know, more out of place than usual, but that's because good things are actually happening. The country is moving forward. The tax cuts have actually made hiring possible and higher wages. And also, the Dow has risen to unprecedented levels in the last year.

So we're not used to volatility. Any shakiness seems, oh my gosh, what's happening? It wouldn't happen under Obama. Yeah, because it was all bogus. Many analysts think this volatility is long overdue, so do I. Nothing more than a healthy correction. If nothing else, this week has been an interesting test in the psychology of investors. The market has been doing so well for so long that when there is a normal correction,

everybody panics, relax, we're okay. It's Friday, February 9th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. How bizarre is it to hear the monologue from me saying that about the stock market and the economy? I just don't think this is, this is the big one. I think, you know, we added $2 trillion in debt just last night, two trillion dollars. To put that into perspective, if I take ever, every single dollar and pound and yack, yak, yak from every country on earth, every bit of

currency. And I take it all. That's only about $50 trillion. We're halfway to all of the money in the world in debt. That is going to cost us one of these days very soon. I just don't think it's today. Welcome to Bill O'Reilly from bill o'Reilly.com. Hello, Bill.

How are you? Lou Dobbs, how you doing today? Very good. Any comment on this? Wow. I mean, well, first of all, you told me to relax, so I am very relaxed. All right, good, good, good. I'm doing a little yoga here as I'm talking to you. Are you wearing the yoga, are you wearing the yoga outfit?

No, I don't have the yoga syrup, you know, I'm not, you're just in your suit. Yeah, I'm in my suit. You know, I just, how did you know that back? Well, I wanted to know, I mean, we do get me. We do get male. Do you sleep in your suit? Because I think those. You know, no, I don't, I have. Emmys that looked like a suit.

Okay, good, good. All right. Pie pasted right on them. Sure, okay. All right. So any comment on that, Bill, before we move on? You know, I think, look, the only comment because the stock market is gambling. I mean, it is.

Yes. Let's face it. Let's be honest. And I say in my tip of the day, which I give every day on my tweet back at Bill O'Reilly. May I guess? May I guess what it was? If you can afford it, tip 20% in restaurants. Used to be 15, but...

Come on, brother. How flattering. Anyway, I said that the older you get, the less stock you should have for a hold. So I'm down in my portfolio 25% in stock. Because it's not worth the risk when you can get, you know, bonds that will pay you. You know, not spectacular returns, but steady,

and they're not going to go out of business. You're right. The debt is going to come. come back to haunt us at some point. So you don't want to be the vagus person when you're 70 years old. I mean, that's insane. So conservative investing is my advice to Americans over the age of 50. If you're a kid and you've got a good job, you can go into the mutual funds and all that

because it probably will pay off for you. Let me ask you this, Bill. Are you concerned at all? One of the things they're not talking about this is we had another auction of bond. which means we were out selling the debt of the government, trying to raise money, and the yield went through the roof because demand was very low. Everybody's like, yeah, I don't think I'm going to bid on those.

I'm not interested. Right. They've got to pay more interest. Yeah, does that? Well, it's a good thing for investors, certainly. Yeah, but a bad thing for the United States of America. Yeah, but it's, look, you've got to look at it this way. It might be a bad thing for the USA in February, but in May, the whole picture could be turned around.

So I think that we're the most stable economy on the face of the earth. Maybe Switzerland would flank us there, but certainly one of the top three. And, you know, the Chinese, for example, I don't invest in the China stock market. I mean, that's crazy. And those people over there, the Chinese who have markets, they're putting in here. And I don't see that changing. I mean, you're going to go to the euro? Are you going to go into Angela Merkel territory? Are you going to give you money to Russians? No. So I think that the United States will stay as the place where worldwide investment is mostly made. I could be wrong, but I think the facts are on my side.

All right. So let's shift gears to what happened in the Senate yesterday. The continuing resolutions that's not a budget process. And really, we are in a dictatorship. We've been worried about, you know, Obama being a dictator or Trump being a dictator. No, the real dictatorship here is Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, saying, here's the budget. Everybody, every one of the people's representatives, you either vote for all of it or you are responsible for shutting the government down. That's not a budget process. I don't even cover this on Bill O'Reilly.com.

I don't even cover it because it's such a charade and the conclusion is foregone, Beck. You know, you're absolutely right. These pinheads on Capitol Hill, they don't care about the debt, and they just want to keep the circus on the road. And so they're going to pass these spending bills. Trump's big thing is the military, so he's pumping more billions of dollars there. And that's not going to change until there's a catastrophe. and there will be, but I think that catastrophe is down the road apiece.

Let me move to the FBI and the text. Oh, I'm really angry about it, Beck. Two things I want to talk to you today about. Okay. All right, the border wall and the FBI. Go. You said you wanted to talk about, so I should say, hey, Bill, let's, Bill, let's talk about the two things, the border wall, but let's start with the FBI. Go.

All right, the FBI, look, it's clear. There are four people that may be indicted. All right. James Comey, the former head, his deputy. Can you explain? Can you explain from your point of view, when you name these guys, explain for your point of view what you think they're going to be indicted for what they did. Okay. So Comey, uh, judge, a federal judge who's on the FISA court, which is the, uh, court that issues warrants for tapping to protect all Americans from terrorism. That's why the court exists, okay, from foreign threats. Right. And Comey went in, and he put his name on documents and said, you got to give us his warrant so we can spy on Carter Page, who's associated with the Trump campaign, because Carter Page is a stooge for Putin.

So we need to follow him around. We need to see all his Internet stuff and listen to him on the phone. It just said, well, give me some evidence. The dossier that we somehow have acquired the FBI, dossier's phony. Everybody knows it's phony. Comey knew it was phony. Comey submitted a phony dossier to the judge to get to tap to crime. Okay, next.

What's your next question? Who else is going to be indicted and why? Well, McCabe did the same thing. So it's Comey and McCabe. Okay. All right. So those two guys went to a federal judge under false pretenses to get a tap on an American citizen. I like to dumb it down, keep it simple.

So even I can understand it. Right. The other two are Peter Struck and Lisa Page. Now, Peter Strach was the lead investigator on a Hillary Clinton email thing. And then Mueller, Robert Mueller, Special Counsel, hired him to look into to the Russian collusion thing. All right,

his girlfriend in the FBI was Lisa Page. Both were married. They're having a little thing going on. All right. 50,000 texts

between the two of them in the body of the text are all kinds of stuff, attacking Donald Trump and a lot of other people. All right, and then there are a little

furtive things like Potus a resident in the United States, Barack Obama at the time. He wants to be a prize of everything we're doing, even though Barack Obama

said he was saying completely out of it. Okay. So all of that. But the big thing about Struck and Page is that it, from their correspondence, it looks like they weren't conducting,

I mean, Struck was not conducting an honest investigation, at least into the Hillary Clinton email thing. And then we find out that McCabe knew that Anthony Wiener's computer contained classified information that came from Hillary Clinton, A month before he told Congress, four weeks, he told Congress just before the election took place, a couple of days before.

If he had said that a month before Hillary Clinton would have been damaged, almost, she might have even had to leave the race. That's how serious that was. So it looks like, circumstantial, but certainly worth investigating, that McCabe held back that information for a month to help Hillary Clinton. all right when we come back i want to talk to you about a few of these things um and and and delve a little bit deeper into them uh in just a minute with bill o'reilly from bill o'reilly dot com all right our our our sponsor this half hour is uh zip recruiter if you are hiring you need great people and there's a better way to find them something better than posting your job online and just praying for the right people to actually see it because they may miss it even though zip

We're with Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. His latest book is killing England and it's available everywhere. Bill, I have a fundamental question about the FBI thing. And I can't get past it. We know there are a lot of things that were shady with some of these agents, some of the people,

that did not like Donald Trump. And you're right, completely worth investigating and we should look into it. But it seems like the way that at least the conservative media or the Trump defending media is talking about this issue. It's as if the FBI had it out for Trump from the beginning. They wanted him to be, he did not want him to be president,

and they don't want him to be president now, and they're doing everything they can in this sort of deep state thing to undermine his presidency. I understand the premise. I understand that storyline. But when you're designing a plan, to take down Donald Trump at all costs.

Shouldn't you leave out the part where you release a letter saying his opponent is under FBI investigation 10 days before the election? It just does not work for me because every one of these things, and it all comes down to the fact that it without that letter likely, Donald Trump would not be president. I think Mueller handed the election to Donald Trump. He had to. Yeah. What you guys are missing is, what? we just talked about before the break. Comey had to, because he had the information about Wiener's computer four weeks before that,

and they kept it quiet as long as they could. But Comey saying to myself, if I don't put this out before the election, and then it's found that we had it, I'm going to get indicted on the spot. So he had to. But he could have done it. They delayed as long as they could. Right. But you're, but the case.

And then they came forward. But the case is everybody else didn't do. I mean, they were covering for her. They were delaying. They've, they've covered all of this evidence. And yet on this one thing, one thing, Comey said, I have to release this. Yeah, because it was so big. When you have.

But it turned out to be nothing. I know it did, but it was Anthony Wiener. Okay, if it had been anybody else, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but not somebody that high profile. So they had to C.YA. And these guys, look, they're professional CYA people, and they're not going to put themselves at personal risk. So they basically timed it.

They said, okay, we'll delay it as much as we can. and then we'll put it out and then we'll say hey uh... you know there was nothing there so nobody can come and say we tried to boot the election i'm not saying that i'm convicting james coney of anything i'm saying is a more than enough evidence to have a special prosecutor appointed because the fbi i can investigate that i agree with

all right but uh... it is also beyond any reasonable doubt that peter struck a high ranking fbi guy who actually wrote the words that Comey read about Hillary Clinton's email in July hated Trump and wanted Trump to lose. There's no doubt about it from his own emails. So this is more than enough to go in and shake this whole thing up. Right. So I don't think, do you think there's enough of a problem on both sides that we're not a point, that we're looking at a situation like we had with what's his name,

stuff in the things in his underpants, Sandy Burger. Sandy Berger, where both sides are kind of like, you know, let's just, Sandy, you know,

Sandy, I don't know exactly what he was doing. You can do that. And now, it's just too high profile with Congress all over it. You know, and the Inspector General's report is really going to blow it up. So in March,

the Inspector General of the Justice Department is going to issue a report on how the FBI conducted it. itself looking at the Hillary Clinton emails and you got to figure that's going to bleed over the Russia collusion. And this guy, Michael Horowitz, I think his name is, is an honest guy. And I think he's going to drop a Megaton bomb. And the reason I think that is because they fired McCabe. Ten days ago, he left the building. Oh, I'm going to retire. No, no, no, no. They ushered him out because the FBI, the new FBI chiefs, I think got a heads of. up on the Inspector General's report. It's going to be damning against McCabe and Comey.

Are we going to... That's where the evidence points. Remember, I'm an evidence-based guy. Right. So... I don't do the speculation thing. Well, then that's not helpful to have you on because... That's true. In dark radio and dark radio... Yeah, I mean, it's speculation here. You've got to help me out a little bit. But this is the line I think, Bill, is...

And that there's enough here to say, I want to know what actually happened and who did what. So your point here of saying there needs, there should be an investigation and we should look into that, I think is a completely fair one. I feel like the way it's talked about a lot in the media is this has decided, this happened. And I think we need to be careful with that. Yeah, on both sides. Back in just a second. More with Bill O'Reilly. Glenn, back.

Mercury. Trust is an important thing. It's something that we do a lot more as human beings than I think most people realize. I mean, you drive down the road and there's a little yellow line between a car. coming at you at 50 miles an hour and you're on your side of the road and they're on their side of the road and we just trust that they'll stay on their side of the road. Their self-interest will do it, whatever it is. We don't die most of the time when we're driving and this is a positive thing. It's hard, though, to find people you can trust when it comes to really complicated transactions

like real estate. I mean, what do you do? You know, you're talking about your biggest investment in your entire life and you're trusting this to someone because you don't understand what any of those forms mean. I never do. No one does. You don't need, half the people don't even read them. You need someone who can walk you through a big transaction like buying or selling a home and make sure there are people that you can trust that have been screened that aren't just some random person you're looking up on the phone book. Real estate agentsitrust.com is a company that Glenn actually started because he was trying to sell his house and had some issues. And basically what they do at real estate agents, I trust.com. It's a network of 1,200 agents. And Glenn and his team,

have gone through and kind of gone through and found the best ones in each area. And you go and you put in your address and you put in your area where you are and you find an agent you can trust. It's your biggest investment. You need to take it seriously. Go to real estateagents. I trust.com. It's real estate agents.

itrust.com. Give it a shot. Real estate agents I trust. com. It's the Glennback program. We're with Bill O'Reilly and I want to talk a little bit about Rob Porter. He works at the White House. He's a White House staff secretary.

He handles all. of the papers to the president. There is a big scandal now because apparently he was accused by both of his ex-wives of physical and mental abuse. He had a restraining order on him with his second wife. None of this apparently was known when it was found out. The White House didn't move immediately. They did put him on a list and said, if anybody has these accusations, they've got to go.

However, Kelly did not execute. that in the two weeks in between writing and doing. Is that correct still? He did not get the permanent security clearance. And there was several aids, apparently, that were ruled to not, they were not going to be able to get that. They have a temporary security clearance. And apparently, according to reports today, Kelly had said, if someone can't get the permanent security clearance, we're going to let them go. He had not executed that idea yet. Right.

But that was, he was going to do it apparently anyway, whether he thought he could reverse the decision in way we don't know. So, Bill, what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on Rob Porter? You know, I don't have any thoughts on them because I don't know what happened. I'm not privy to any of it. I don't trust the press to report accurately on anything in the Trump administration. But it seems strange to me that the FBI, again, we come back to the FBI. It's their job. See, in order to get clearance to work in these jobs at the White House, you have to go through big FBI check. Unless you're going to Jones. And so that they basically are responsible for saying, you know, you can't bring a guy in because he's got A, B, C, D, and E on his sheet, which we verified.

So it's hard, you know, and I want to caution. That's the best word. Everybody, all Americans, what you hear reported on the news and reading the newspaper, right? right now it's a fifty-fifty proposition half of it is not true have of its garbage so you have to go back to the fundamental system and the FBI is the is the agency that's overly that oversees all security clearances and you know I don't know whether whether the Trump administration defied the FBI's advice I mean we don't we're not privy we don't have that information Glenn would you because he you know he came from Orrin Hatchez

office porter and he's Mormon. I don't know that. Would there be, because this is now being, you know, it's being part of his bio now that's being sort of promoted, would there be any record of like with the church? Has he been, has he been excommunicated? If somebody was accused of a spousal abuse, the church, our church is very different and it does not get involved in, you know, your life in, in those ways, unless abuse, mental or physical abuse or something like that, and we have a church council, if he was a, if he was a member in good standing, they would have brought a council together and they would have listened to his wife and they would have listened to him on the

spiritual matter. Is this happening? Are you using unrighteous dominion? If he was abusing his wife or accused of it, there should have been a counsel called privately. And if he was, found guilty of that two times I can can't imagine if he's a Mormon and good standard and good standing that it wouldn't have been called if they would have excommunicated him so the question is is he a Mormon in good standing what did the council was it called and if so was he excommunicated if those if he if he was called they did have hearings on it and he was not excommunicated I don't know I would believe that maybe that's not the situation but I don't know I don't know is that public all that stuff I mean does anybody know what I think no you know

none of the none of the hearing is public it's between husband and wife and the council and that's all secret but you would know if he was excommunicated that would be public that has not come out I haven't seen that I have not seen that so if you're if you're orrin hatch and you heard those things I don't know if or and did, but if you heard those things, and he went through the church, I mean, the church does not

take that lightly. And if you would have gone through that deal, and excommunication means you're done, you have to start from scratch and repair this. It's a big deal. For a Mormon, that's a very big deal. Bill,

let's talk a little bit. I have so many things in front of me here to talk to you about. Let me a shot on the wall, Beck. I was going to say, let's talk about the wall and the border guard's death. Okay, I don't know anything about the border guards death. A man must know his limitations, and I do. Okay. The wall is coming, all right? And then you're, the Glenn Beck program is now out front. This is the next big thing, because Trump is not going to give in to the dreamers unless he gets funding for the wall.

Very simple issue. So my question to everybody in America is this. Why would you oppose building a wall on the southern border? And then you'll get the usual. Well, it's an insult to Mexico. It's racist. All right, that's what you get. All right, that's the only argument.

So do you say, do you know that in Mexico in 2017, there were more than 25,000 homicides, and another 30,000 people unaccounted for. They vanished. They don't know where they are. You know, whatever. I put the number at 50,000 homicides. That's way more than in Afghanistan or Iraq or anywhere else in the world. Okay?

That you have this out-of-controlled cartel situation where the drug gangsters are killing people every single day at a level it's so horrifying, but the world doesn't care. When I was at CNN, I had photographic evidence that they would not allow me to show on air of a bowling alley on our border on the Mexican side where the drug cartels beheaded all of the people that were ratting on them and trying to stop them. They went into a bowling alley and rolled the heads down the bowling alley towards the pins. I had photographs of it. CNN would not let me show them. There you go. So what you have here is you have a government in Mexico City under President Inieto that cannot control a country. And that's beyond any reasonable doubt. You can't

debate it. All right. So the drug cartels control much of Mexico. So therefore, thousands of tons of narcotics come into the united states because that's how the drug cartels make their money and violence comes into the united states because the drug cartel members don't just stay in mexico they come here as well to oversee their business so the wall is designed to keep some of that out in addition to the people smuggling we know millions of people have come here illegally through the southern border every day we get reports about criminals who have been deported ten times yet they come back eleven times

so you still oppose the wall is there an american who still oppose the wall here's the crusher in israel they put up a wall back what happened what happened after they put up the wall they the violence went down not just went down almost not existed so that terrorists were infiltrating into it into israel they were killing Israeli citizens

at a horrifying raid, Israel built the wall, and that stopped. And you're telling me we should have a wall on the southern border? See, this, you have to make your argument so overwhelming, and even the argument that I'm making, I'm a racist.

I mean, Jorge Ramos, if you got him on the show and said, listen to O'Reilly's analysis. I think he's a racist. A racist. You know, it's such crap and such a fraud, And I'm not doing this to defend Donald Trump.

If I were in the White House, I'd make the argument that as I just made on your program to the American people in a press conference. And I destroy the opposition and say, if it is irresponsible not to build the wall. If I don't build the wall, I'm putting you in danger, Indianapolis Colt linebacker, Kate Steinle, okay? Bill. I've got to do everything as president to protect you. Therefore, I need funding for the wall. And if I get it, then we're going to do a quasi-amnesty on these dreamer people so that everybody's happy. All right?

So are you telling me that this is illogical? I mean, I get so angry because the press in the United States is so corrupt. I mean, it's almost as corrupt as the cartels. I think we have a media cartel here. So who wins in this debate? because I really truly believe most Americans are like, stop it, stop it.

We need security on the border. And the people who came here as children because of their parents or they were born here, they're here now. We're not going to deport all of them. We have to watch the border, make sure it's secure,

and then also, let's just figure out the deal with the dreamers and I'll give you that, you give me this. That's what people are. people want who wins tell you i will tell you if if our presentation our conversation right now were presented to the american public 80% of the american public go yeah back o're riley and stew stew would actually get some props even he hasn't said anything they're right they're right

okay 80% i put the number at so who wins in this fight i think trump has to win because he holds the power i mean he'll veto any kind of uh dreamer legislation listening includes funding for the wall. But they won't, they want, they don't want the dreamers to, they do not want Donald Trump to give amnesty and a road to citizenship to two and a half times more people than Barack Obama was suggesting. They do not want it. Who is they?

The Democratic Party. They don't want it. Well, I mean, look, their nefarious motives will easily be exposed if they don't cooperate on this, but you can just hammer that party, and they need to win the house in November by saying, are you kidding me? You oppose building a wall and all the facts that you present about how out of control Mexico is and the narcotics and the opiates and a drug and all, and you oppose it, and we can show you that in Israel it worked, and you still oppose it? You can kill them on that because it's not that complicated an issue.

Bill, you have an insight into Donald Trump that we don't have. I mean, you've known him for decades. So is it consistent with the guy that you've known all this time for him to kind of run as a real border hawk, but when he's in office to be the kind of guy who's going to say, we want the security, I'll give you the DACA, I'll give you the amnesty on these people, and sort of make that deal. Is that him? This is a deal maker? Yeah, but he has to, and he knows it.

that would be like Bush the Elder going read my lips, no new taxes, and then raising taxes. So he has to do, you know, Trump is smart enough to know that there are a few core things that he cannot compromise on. He has to do in the walls, one of them.

Does the wall bill give him essentially amnesty on all of the other pledges on the border? A lot of them. Yeah. A lot of them, because that was, you know, he pledged to cut taxes. He's done it.

And now if he can get the wall under construction, You know, those are the two big ones, and he can skate on a lot of the lesser stuff. Yeah. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. Thank you, sir. Have a good weekend. You too. Thanks for having me in, guys.

If you see this, Stu, you want to talk about, I'm going to bring these jobs back from China and why that's a lie. And anyone, any politician left or right, who says, we're losing jobs to China. I want you to listen to this story.

Foxconn. You know what Foxcon is, right? Yeah, they're the big sort of manufacturer. A lot of iPhones and, you know, they're famous for having tough conditions in China. Suicides. Yeah, suicides. Their factories. Their factories are like slave camps.

Your iPhone, I think, it's being built by a slave. And what they do is you get a congratulations. You're out of the rice, Patty. You can come in and get a job at Foxcon. But you have to live where you work in these horrible conditions. You eat where you work. You never leave. People, they've had to put fencing all around the,

the top of the roof because people keep throwing themselves off the roof. I mean, it's horrible. Foxcon is planning to slash more than 10,000 jobs as a part of the company's aggressive efforts to increase the use of automation. When China is automating and getting rid of human laborers, something that is cheap and meaningless to them, you can guarantee that those kinds of jobs are not coming back to America. Back in just a second.

Glenn, back. Mercury. Courage. Truth. Can a coin be racist? Let me rephrase that. Of course, a coin can be racist. We all know that.

Let me be more specific. Can the game heads or tails be racist? Apparently so. Two athletes nominated by the United States Olympic team to be the flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Shawnee Davis, an African-American male, five-time Olympian, and Aaron Hamlin, a white female, four-time Olympian, were tied for the position. Both received the exact same number of votes from the representatives. So how do you handle a tie like this in the most pragmatic and objective way possible? Heads or tails.

It's how we start games. Football games. It's how we make decisions where it's a tie. You know, draw straw, flip a coin. Well, Aaron Hamlin won and Shawnee Davis played the race card. He tweeted, Team USA dishonorably tossed a coin to decide its 2018 flag bearer. No problem.

I can wait until 2022. Hashtag Black History Month 2018. Excuse me? I mean, how can you possibly think a coin toss was racially motivated? What's the answer here? Should the team given Davis the position just because he's black? No, of course not. They shouldn't give it to Aaron just because she's white and a female.

No. Should we start banning coin tosses? Do we have to declare that the game heads and tails is now somehow or another racist and bias if the black person doesn't win? this is ridiculous this is the most non-biased and objective way you pick something Davis is obviously still upset about not being the flag bearer because

he skipped the opening ceremony this morning well isn't that the spirit of an American Olympian I'm a sore loser I'm going to take my toys and go home well quite frankly anybody who behaves that way white, black, yellow, polka, plaid, it doesn't matter.

I'm glad you don't represent us at the Olympics today. Bad attitudes. Bad attitudes are something even four shiny Olympic medals just can't hide. It's Friday, February 9th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

I have waited all week to do the monologue that I am not a good enough man to do. Tomorrow I am flying out to attend one of the greatest men I've ever known. I'm going to attend his funeral.

His name is John Huntsman, Sr. He's the guy who is responsible for the first, you know, K-Tell Records presents the best of. He's the first guy to put a compilation album together, and he did it, he needed to raise money to make a mold so he could make styrofoam boxes because nobody had ever thought of gee i wonder i wonder if it would be better to have styrofoam and put your big mac in a styrofoam he needed to make the molds but he didn't have the money so he came up with another

idea why don't i do a compilation album of everybody's favorite songs i first walked into his office here's this, here's this industrialist with gold records on his wall. And I'm like, Sean, what the hell is that? That was creative thinking. John Huntsman was by my side quietly during some of the most difficult days of my life. He taught me how to fly fish. He taught me how to be a better man. He taught me that you can shoot straight.

You can tell the truth. You can do business with a handshake. and you still can succeed. He's a guy who worked in Washington, worked for Nixon, one of the only guys they'd ever questioned in the Nixon administration because everyone knew John Huntsman

wouldn't be a part of any of this. A guy who stood up at that time and said, excuse me, I want no part of this. He taught me, he taught me what a game Washington really is. He taught me how to pray. He taught me how to give blessings to others.

One day late at night, we were both vacationing, and I was about three houses down from his. And he was over at the house, and he was probably 70 something at the time. And it was dark, and I said, John, let me walk you home. So we walked home, and we talked. And we had such a great conversation that when we got to his door, he said, let's walk back to your house. So we walked back to my house, and then back to his. And in one of those trips, he just stopped and looked up at the star, and he said, can you read the stars?

I said, no, no. And he started to point out all the constellations and name all the stars. He was a navigator in World War II. And he said, every man needs to be able to read the stars. Every man needs to know the right direction and how to find the right direction. He told me as I was just beginning the success of my career, he asked me, Glenn, how much is enough? Here's a guy who had been on the richest men in the world list for decades.

I said, what do you mean? He said, you have to set a number, you have to set a goal, and then live by that. He said, how much is enough? decide or it will never be enough he taught me what it was like to love and lose a daughter with grace and compassion and dignity he taught me how to be a father by watching him with his children how to deal with even the most challenging things where a dad and mom don't have an answer by watching watching him love his son Markey I learned how to serve in a church calling with everything you have.

One day we were out fly fishing and I asked him for a blessing. I wasn't feeling well and I said, John, do mind giving me a blessing? And he said, sure. Could you excuse me for just a second? I said, sure. He went inside to the house and he changed into a suit and put on a tie and a white shirt. And I said,

where are you going what are you doing and he said i just feel as though if i'm going to try to speak the words of the lord i i just feel i should be dressed appropriately he gave me a five-minute blessing walked back in and changed back into his fly-fishing clothes i learned how to be gracious even when you don't want to be from him and how to forgive those people that you really don't want to forgive he taught me through his own marriage of how to marry way over your head

I'm not sure I brought anything to the table for him and I'm not foolish enough to think that he felt the same way about me but he was there at the worst time with my father who we were estranged at the end.

We didn't even have a funeral for my dad. And I looked at John as a father figure. I think much to his chagrin. I've met a lot of great people in my life. I've met prime ministers and I have met kings and presidents. But there is one man who impacted my life for the better, like no one else, heads and shoulders. I regret not saying that to him. The first time I met him was at his cancer center, the Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake City. A friend said, you have to

have lunch with a friend of mine. He said, do you know John Huntsman, Sr., and I said, no, I know he's a billionaire, and I wondered what it would be like to have lunch with a billionaire. And I quickly found out as I pulled my car up to the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and he said, come on in. And we went into his cafeteria, a hospital cafeteria, and we had lunch. And we talked about how to be charitable, how to give. In 2008, after the crash, he actually put his house and his plane in his car as collateral, not for his company.

as collateral for the charitable obligations that he had made. He asked me if I would help them cure cancer. He was convinced that it's just around the corner, and he has convinced me. I remember standing in the hospital at an elevator door, and I said, John, I'll make you a deal. I will help you if you teach me how to be a charitable man. he shook my hand and said

that's a deal I'll make the first lesson is you can't just care about cancer you have to care about the entire human condition it's why he's built homeless shelters and battered women's shelters his charitable giving is beyond

imagination john huntsman senior kept his promise to me and tomorrow I'm going to his funeral and his burial and let him know

that my commitment back to him to honor that agreement is being renewed and I have quite a few years ahead of me to care about the entire human condition as he would say goodbye my dear

and sweet sweet friends Glenn back. Thank you for putting up with me. I appreciate it. Hey, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour. We're really grateful to have them. It's 1-800 flowers. Valentine's Day is just a few days away.

and they are all signed by John. And I would ask if, you know, only if you're an entrepreneur, you really truly believe in the American dream and you will read the book, not just keep it on the shelf, but you really will read the book. I'll ask my producers to take some calls and they can give out three books. I don't want to make it a contest, but they can decide who gets the books at 888-727-B-E-C-K, barefoot to billionaire. The incredible story of a guy who grew up in a home literally with cardboard walls on an Indian reservation.

because his father was a teacher or a doctor, I think a teacher on an Indian reservation. And they grew up dirt poor that really one room and they put cardboard up to wall off rooms. He didn't have shoes. And he lived his life as one of the greatest industrialists of our age. and truly one of the unsung philanthropists, one of the greatest philanthropists that have lived in the last 50 years, and nobody really knows. I have stories that I will write down that I know of this man,

but it's not my place to tell, but I will write them down and someday, hopefully they will be published after my, death on just the stories that I know about him that nobody else knows about just his kindness and graciousness and his commitment to doing the right thing in charity. We live in such a world where people who have a lot who've earned a lot of money are vilified and he really disproves that theory. Completely. All right, back with some things that we need to talk about,

news and some laughs when we come back. Glenn, back. Mercury. This is the Glenn Beth program. Well, hello to my good friend, Mr. Pat Gray. Pat, it is, of course, Stu's birthday today. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Happy birthday, Stu. Yeah, did you bring the, what did you bring in the cake? It's on its way. It's in the bag. Doc gave him a cake boss cake and tried to pass this off as a birthday cake but you tell me this isn't a secondhand cake the writing on it didn't say happy birthday

certainly not happy birthday stew it said you're welcome. You're welcome. Yeah. Okay. So you're welcome cake. It's not a genre of cakes by the way, I don't know. And when I pointed this out, it wasn't like he had thought this out. Did you notice that? He was like, well, you know, that's because I knew he was going to say thank you. No, he was making that up. They just got a cake. Get us anything.

I don't care what it is. This is a secondhand cake that somebody didn't pick up. It is more than Pat did, though. No, I got you a little container full of paper clips. Those were sitting in front of him just a minute ago. I put the paperclips in there every day. You're welcome. You're welcome.

It's not printed on there, but. Yeah. It's implied. You're welcome. I believe you are the... That means happy birthday to you tomorrow. Well, right? So, I believe that you are the owner of the pants. And the shirt.

And the shirt. The shirt. Oh my gosh. Do not... I added a shirt shirt like four years ago. Can you explain what you're talking about? So back in 91, Pat? Ish.

Yeah. I went to a store and I bought Pat the ugliest. Dolce and Gabana pants? Yeah, no, I think they were Ralph Lauren. Were they? Yeah, I think so. But they could be Dolce and Gabana. They are the ugliest pants you've ever seen in your life.

Absolutely bizarre. No, they're salmon paisley. Okay? And I got him these pants and he's never worn them. And so the next year, he gave them back to me for my present. As your birthday birthday. It's called re-gifting. Right.

And it's tried and true. And we've been doing this since 1991, okay? Given the same pair of pants to each other since 1991. Now, a few years ago, I added a luxurious shirt. Not necessarily matching, but luxurious. Oh, right? Well, it depends. I mean, if you're going to go by traditional fashion rules while wearing salmon-colored

basely pants, you really can't. You can't. So, I expect those tomorrow. So are you still doing this? Yes, of course we're still doing it. Yeah, of course we are. We do it every year. We still do it.

It's tradition. Yeah, we just get a box. We wrap it or somebody wraps it for us. And we're like, here, happy birthday. I'm not even going to open it this year. I'm going to give it to him in the same wrapping paper next year.

That's smart. That's good. That's efficiency. Yeah, that's right. We need to put those on display someplace because people will be jealous. Yeah, they will. You've never warned them.

What? What? I mean, I think that's a stretch. Is he around? To say never? Never is a long time. It is. Is it a stretch or is it untrue?

It's a stretch. Why are you saying it's a stretch? Because I don't want to call him a liar. But it's your... Because we're good friends. We spend a lot of time picking out the perfect gift for each other every year. All right. Anyway, what's on your mind today, Pat?

Nancy Pelosi. Wow, I'm sorry for that. Yeah, I know. It hurts. But this was such an interesting part of the speech that not very many people have, oh, thank you, Keith. My producer brings in your birthday present. Now, here's the shirt.

There's the shirt. And this is, this may be a, happy birthday, I don't know, but here's the, well, you didn't even wrap it. So here's this beautiful shirt, okay, and it has a little bit of salmon color in it. It does. And a little purple. Actually, they do kind of match. And here. And there's the beautiful pants.

They are Ralph Loren. Still with the tag. Still with the tag. I cannot believe those are Ralph. Oh, and they're 38th. They'd fit you, Pat. Not anymore. Thank you. Really? Not anymore. That is beautiful. Thank you, Pat. That is so meaningful. You're welcome.

That is a lot of pace going on. I saw these in a store in like 1990 or 1991. And I could not believe that they were actually for sale. Yeah. Right. From Ralph Lauren. It looks like the entire Ralph Lauren like, factory. They had a big vomit

of patsy that spilled under that one pair of pants. You know what it is? It's like they had a pair of white pants and then people were so sick to their stomach from eating avocados. They took peptopysmal. It didn't work and they blew chunks all over white pants.

That is what it looks like. Yeah. And this is just good looking. That's a nice shirt. Yeah, that's just tasteful right there. I think this is a natural. So this is a beautiful. That's a beautiful shirt. I want to see it on you on Monday. On Monday. You know what?

I'm going to be invisible on Monday. You're going to be invisible on Monday? That's weird, isn't it? That is weird. And especially for the day that we premiere a new show

with us. So I will not see you when I come in here when we're promoting when I'm wearing these clothes. That's the only time during the day you'll be invisible. Damn it, this place.

They will not let me wear what I want to wear on TV. You kind of own the place. Well, that's somewhat hard to believe. That's what they want you to believe. Okay. That's what they want you to believe. she believed. Anyway, Nancy Pelosi.

Anyway, Nancy Pelosi, talking about her grandson. And this is, I think she describes it beautiful. Here's what she said. I'm reminded of my own grandson. He's Irish, English,

whatever, whatever, and Italian. Whatever, whatever. It's the mix. But he looks more like the other side of the family. So he's saying he's and when he had his sixth birthday, sixth birthday. He had a very close friend whose name is Antonio, who's from Guatemala, and he has beautiful tan skin and beautiful brown eyes and the rest. And this was such a proud day for me because when my grandson blew out the candles on his cake, they said, did you make a wish?

And he said, yes, I made a wish. He said, well, what is your wish? He said, I wish I had brown skin and brown eyes like Antonio. Oh, my gosh. Wow. So beautiful. So beautiful. So beautiful. That's horrible. That he's ashamed of his race. That is horrible.

So beautiful. The beauty is in the mix. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine. Imagine.

Imagine. If this was a black person. If anyone would say, and you know what, my black son, he had green eyes and red hair, he had a friend who had green eyes and red hair and very Irish, you know, that. that china doll skin. Oh my gosh. And it was the proudest day of my life when he said, well, what I wished for, Dad, was to have white china doll skin, green eyes, and red hair.

You would describe that as a proud day? Oh, the beauty's in the whiteness. Glenn, that's what she would have said. And the thing is, we've heard that story, but not described as beautiful. Right. It's a terrible tragic story. It's terribly racist. It's terrible.

And it's horrible. And it's not. even just racist. You would be ashamed of your own race? Yes, it's not only a racist. You want to talk about body shaming. Yeah. Yes. Here's a woman body shaming her grandson because I know you want to look, you want to look, you want to look like your Guatemalan friend. Oh my gosh. It's despicable. Yeah, it is. I mean, look, any five or six year old, there's nothing crazy about a kid saying that. It's the fact that you're praising it. Yeah. And in public. Look, if you want to say that, Look at you're five years old.

All sorts of crazy stuff when you're fine. But it's not like, no, honey, you are beautiful just as you are. Yeah. That's not the story. It's, yeah, we all wish we were Hispanic. Yeah, I know. Sorry. You're ugly.

Would it not be racist if she were to say to the kid, no, you don't want that. You're beautiful the way you are. Right? Like if she was encouraging him to be white, I'm saying in our current, I'm not saying, I believe this. In our current climate, if you were to say it's okay, it's great that you're white and you should continue to be white. That's racist. That's racist.

Yes, I think so. You should be encouraging him to do the opposite. You should be ashamed of being white. We have become so worshipful of diversity and so white loathing that this is held up to us as a really good story, as something beautiful and desirable. And it's not leading the news anywhere. Right. In fact, it's probably not on the news anywhere. I'm guessing the mainstream media hasn't even...

Yeah. They haven't even mentioned that. They don't care. They don't care. They, they, they, that's a beautiful thing. No, it's not. It is. That's body shaming.

Right. That's body shaming. Right. That's body shaming. Yeah, you're teaching your grandson that, yeah, that's beautiful, that you don't like your own skin. I can't imagine in anybody. Can you imagine?

Can you imagine our own skin, right? Right. So we're always told. We should, you know, every time we see a dove commercial, we're supposed to be like, Oh, that's beautiful. They're comfortable in their own skin. Is that the one with the fat ladies that are dancing? Wow.

That word. No, I mean, I'm seriously. Wow. No, I'm serious. No, it's not the one we talked about. If that is beautiful, I then want you to claim that I am beautiful to. And I'm going to strip down to my underpants. And I'm going to dance on screen.

And I demand that every single person says, that's beautiful. It's not. It might be. be your taste. It might not be your taste. There's nothing wrong with that, but that is not what society has decided is the ultimate, the ultimate form of a body. I don't have the ultimate form of the body. I don't like the fact that my children might be body shamed by somebody, maybe like Nancy Pelosi, and they're uncomfortable in their skin. But that does not require me to make the pronouncement, that is beautiful. I have no problem with the commercial. I have no problem

with seeing it. My problem is, is that we are being forced. Yes, we are. To say that Caitlin Jenner is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. She's not. She's not. She's a woman who kind of looks a lot like a dude. Not like an Olympian almost. Right, like an Olympian. And it's not just that. And it's not just that it's sexual preference your preference must be that you you like homosexuality now yeah right isn't that what we're being forced into we can't like heterosexual uh activity you but you have to like homosexual well you should at least try homosexual you should at least try you're bigoted if you don't at least try homosexuality i didn't think it was a choice i thought you were born that way right

yeah because sexual preference is sort of dead now it is kind of you're not allowed to have a You're supposed to say, oh, that's beautiful. You don't prefer. You don't prefer. Yeah, you can't say I prefer X over Y because that means you're making a decision or something that indicates one is better. And you can't. You can't indicate that one is better.

It's right. It is liberal fascism. And that's the problem. I don't think that the average person who is fat like me or, or homosexual or straight or or bi or transgendered, I don't think the average person wants anything other than to be just treated like a normal human being. Just, just, can you not treat me like I'm a pariah? Okay?

That's what the average person wants. I just want to be a part of society. This is who I am and I'm happy there. They do not want to force everyone else to agree with them. It's not the way we are. We're not built that way. Just accept me for who I. am, don't hurt me. Don't, don't destroy my life because of my choices. And I won't destroy your

life. Can we all just live side by side? That's what the average person wants. But that is not who's ruling this country or our culture. We just can't, we just can't be honest anymore. Right. You know, there's that song that goes, every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top. It's like, you're seeing a song with no knowledge of who's hearing it. How do you know that's accurate? it. You're saying if that's something you can say, then the words don't mean anything because you're saying it to

everyone. So if everyone is perfect, then perfect has no meaning. A wheel is a wheel only because we call it a wheel. I read this philosopher Saul Kripke years ago. I know. I've been talking about that. I shut up. And I just remember

just being so crazy about how stupid all of this stuff was. But the point is it's only something because we call it that. So you call handicap, handicap. What does that mean? That word means nothing.

That means nothing. It only means what you attach it to. So you've attached it to somebody in a wheelchair that needs a ramp or something else because they can't navigate in the same way that a fully able body can. They are capped in the way that they're in the amount they are handy. Correct.

Okay. So if you call it, we all know when I was growing up, we all know what a handicapped person or a handicapped zone meant or a handicap ramp. By changing it to handicapped. Might make you feel good in a very short period of time. But eventually, handicapped means exactly the same thing as handicapped. It's right, because these politically correct terms have expiration dates. I mean, if you look back at the NAACP, we can't even say what the NWACP stands for, but at that time it was the okay term to use.

And now it's not. And they have to figure out whether it's supposed to change the name or not. It's crazy. We're living in a mad world. Packray Unleashed coming up here in just a few minutes on the Blaze Radio and TV network. Listen to it, watch it, or else Nancy will come for you. Oh, dear God, I'm going to watch it now. Simply safe.

I love, love, love, love the people at Simply Safe. I have watched them transform from a company with like 10 employees to the fastest growing home security company in the nation. They're now protecting over 2 million people. I don't even know how many Americans they're now employing. Oh, the fastest in the nation? Jeez. Yeah. That happened fast.

That happened really quick. Really fast because their service and their product is so good. Now, they've just released their brand new home security system. It is the all new Simply Safe and it is really great. I have been waiting for this to come out for, I think, almost three years. They've been making changes and they kept saying, I'm like, when are you going to release it? It's so cool. When are you going to release it?

They wouldn't release until he got it absolutely right. They've added new safeguards to protect against power outages, down Wi-Fi, cut landlines. They have taken hammers to this thing, trying to get it so it would stop working. And it's been designed to work and call the police and keep you safe.
