Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Hello Americans. It's Friday. Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. I know there's a ton happening in the world today, and we're going to get to all of it. But I want to start with the problem.
Starting point is 00:00:49 The big problem in our country is chaos. Everything is upside down. You don't know, I mean, how many genders are there? I believe the number now is 92. I don't know if it's true, but maybe it is 92. How do I navigate the world with 92 genders? How do I, what does that mean? How, what, how much change comes from just that?
Starting point is 00:01:27 Or how about this? You can use the N-word because you're black, you can't. But you as a white person, you can claim that you're black, but I can't, even though I'm white, what's the difference? Oh, your political perspective. How do you navigate this world in chaos? The reason why so much of this is happening is because we have violated the Bill of Rights. We have so weakened our Constitution
Starting point is 00:02:00 and so weakened the Bill of Rights that because the Constitution and the balance of power is broken, the President can write whatever he wants. I got a phone and a pen. Then George Washington wouldn't have said, well, George Washington wouldn't have had a phone, but he also had pins, but he didn't use it that way. And this has been happening for 100 years, and we are just starting to feel the pain that even Ronald Reagan talked about in the 60s and then again in the 80s. One of these days, it's going to hit critical mass and you're not going to have any good choices. we're here.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So how do we return, not to the good old days, but to a country that we can understand and that will navigate around anything that the future is going to throw our way? Because the future is going to throw amazing things our way, both good and bad, things we haven't even dreamt about, thought about, some of the world's oldest and crazy,
Starting point is 00:03:13 The craziest nightmares are just over the horizon, but so also are our greatest days, our greatest hopes, and our greatest dreams. It's going to be up to us to choose which path do we take. And that's easier when you have the Constitution as your
Starting point is 00:03:36 Gospel of Freedom. That's what that is. That's a Gospel of Freedom. It's the sacred American scripture that tells us how to navigate. Senator Coburn has written a book Smashing the D.C. Monopoly. The subtitle tells you everything you know.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Using Article 5 to restore freedom and to stop a runaway government. Welcome to Dr. Tom Coburn, former U.S. Senator. Hey, Tom, how are you? I am fine, Glenn. I hope you are as well. I certainly am. I found your book fascinating, and let me take you to a couple of places.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I'm not going to start at the beginning of the book. I want to go to, I want to take you to William Barton. Tell the story of William Barton. Actually, there were three people involved in this. One was Colonel George Mason, who actually raised the first issue associated with ever knowing was there ever a country that voluntarily ceded power back to its citizens and whether or not they did or did not and so that started the conversation with Barton and bringing forth Article 5 the
Starting point is 00:05:08 subsection that we talk about there's a lot of stories about Barton in the history, but his leadership in terms of this issue and restoring our freedom. Well, he said, you wrote in the book, he said, this clause ought to be written in letters of gold. We ought to observe the excellencies of the Constitution. There is a fair opportunity furnished for amendments provided by the states, but this clause should be written in letters of gold. Well, that's right. And the reason that clause is there
Starting point is 00:05:44 is because right now where we find herself is that's the only solution that's big enough for the problem at front. So would you agree with me that the chaos that we are feeling right now because I think we're having a crisis of chaos. I think that the only time that people reach out for somebody who will make it stop, you know, more of an authoritarian,
Starting point is 00:06:13 progressive kind of player is when they are afraid. And I don't think they're afraid of ISIS or war as much as they are afraid of the loss of the Western way of life. And I think, go ahead. I think our country's unsettled. and innately people know something's wrong. And would you agree that what's wrong, these problems are coming from the fact that we have not adhered to the Constitution? So we're rudderless.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Well, we not only have not adhered to it, we've had Supreme Court that has changed its meaning irreverently, in my opinion, to where we no longer have the structure that would allow. us to maintain the freedoms and the opportunity to fix ourselves to set ourselves right. You know, what we're seeing today is people talking about the problems we have. The recent poll, I think, said 84% Americans don't trust the federal government. Well, rightly so. Why would you? There's a million dollars in debt per family out there, right? So how do they pay that off?
Starting point is 00:07:31 For the millennials, there's 1.7 million. It's just an unfunded liability is coming there. We're not counting the death. I will tell you, though, Tom, I don't think that's a bad number that 84% of people distrust the government. I think you go back to George Washington's time. I'll bet you that number was in the 90s
Starting point is 00:07:53 if they would have taken polls. I mean, George Washington said you shouldn't trust government. Treat it as fire. Well, but they're also saying is we don't think it works anymore. As a matter of fact, the millennials don't know how it's supposed to work because the education has been so disruptive in not teaching and undermining the principles of our country
Starting point is 00:08:18 that were built upon. So I don't worry that people don't trust the federal government. I worry the fact that what that will lead to is no confidence in anything that comes out of there. Well, you have a problem now where 49% of conservative millennials, conservative millennials, 49% believe in freedom of speech, but that the government should determine
Starting point is 00:08:45 what that speech should be. Yeah, and that's scary because we've had our whole education establishment stolen in terms of freedom and the principles that built this country and the Judeo-Christian principles that allowed us to do that in the first place.
Starting point is 00:09:04 So that's all been stolen. And so we've had mind bending. Not that they're not a lot of great young people out there, but when they've been taught, it's not good for you to listen to a difference of opinion. As a matter of fact, you ought to not listen to a difference of opinion. Well, the only way you really grow intellectually is to listen to a difference of opinion and actually think about it. And now we have this whole generation that doesn't think you want to, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:30 they want to go, my hair's on fire, I can't listen to you. even though you may have sound reason and good logic in your discussions. That's a symptom, though, Glenn, of the problem. The problem is we've abandoned limited government. We've undermined personal responsibility, and we're suffering the consequences. You write in the book about Samuel Jones, why Article 5 solution, why it exists. Can you tell us a little bit about that story? Well, the Article 5 solution exists because it was forced to exist.
Starting point is 00:10:09 As a matter of fact, there was the only thing in the Constitutional Convention that never had heavy debate. Now, most people don't realize that if you look at Madison's notes, he did copious notes on the whole convention. And the only aspect of that convention that didn't have vigorous debate, vigorous hard fighting debate before they came to agreement, was Article 5. And the very aspect that they would come around to allowing a restoration of the principles. Actually, the history is that our founders knew that Republicans wouldn't live long, right? They knew it wouldn't go off. And so they came around to the idea that we have to put a way for us to at least put a salvage echo in there.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Tom, I sure appreciate your taking on this topic and explaining it to the American people, smashing the D.C. monopoly, using Article 5 to restore freedom and stop a runaway government. It's available in bookstores everywhere. It has tremendous, tremendous history, including a story about Jefferson Davis. After the war, Jefferson Davis said, we should have just used. Article 5. It led to too much bloodshed. If we would have used Article 5, we wouldn't have had the Civil War. They almost did, Glenn. They almost did. Yeah. Smashing the D.C. Monopoly, and if you can get involved in the Article 5 movement in your state,
Starting point is 00:11:55 it's just passed in Texas, and it is starting to gain momentum, and it is critical. They'll never give themselves a limit on their power in Congress. Never. You need to do it, and it needs to happen through a convention of states to change the Constitution and put a few things in there like, I don't know, you spend the money that you have, not our children's money. Article 5 Convention and the name of the book, again, is smashing the DC monopoly by Tom Coburn. Tom, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Glad that. Saturdays on the blaze. Ammo and attitude. And the right stuff are on with all new challenges. And we've made your Saturday afternoons even better by adding another show. Shut to the Heart. Catch episodes of all three shows.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Saturday's beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern on the blaze. The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury. The Glenn Beck Program. 888727 Beck. We're glad you're here. It is Friday.
Starting point is 00:13:28 There's so many things to talk about. First of all, the Obama administration knew that gang members were part of an illegal immigrant surge. This is coming from a whistleblower now. they knew that gang members the Obama administration knowingly let in at least 16 admitted MS-13 gang members who arrived into the U.S. as illegal immigrant teenagers
Starting point is 00:13:57 in 2014. This is a top senator saying on Wednesday citing internal documents that showed the teens were shipped to juvenile homes throughout the country. We knowingly let in MS-13 gang members. You're our gang member specialist, Pat for MS-13.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Who are these guys? They're really pleasant fellows. Wow, that was not what I was expecting for the gang expert at all. You may not be the expert I thought you were. If you enjoy your head being slaced off. Because, like Islamic extremists, that's one of their
Starting point is 00:14:31 favorite things to do is to cut the heads off their victims. I specifically do not. So, yeah, they're brutal. And MS-13 has spread. It started in Texas, obviously, in Dallas and Houston. It's in almost every state now. Almost every state.
Starting point is 00:14:46 And there's just thousands of these guys. And they're brutal. They're one of the most brutal gangs. Is this one of the gangs that learned some of their stuff? No, those were the Zeta commandos. Zeta. Yeah. This conversation is one of those that relates to what we talked about yesterday with the
Starting point is 00:15:02 Planned Parenthood videos. Hang on just a second. I don't think we're thinking the same thing. You were thinking the people that were educated by the CIA. Yeah. I was talking about the gangs in Mexico that were trained or picked up a lot of their tools of the trade from al-Qaeda. Okay. The car bombings and the beheadings and everything else.
Starting point is 00:15:28 That could also be MS-13, but that sounds like the Zetas too. Just talking about this, goes back to Planned Parenthood yesterday, these women who are, again, probably go out to dinner with friends. are delightful. And, you know, they go and they do that they live their normal life. And then during the day, they just pull legs off of live babies because they don't want to get in trouble for partial birth abortions. And you get this line where, like, your ideology or this thing you're trying to win or whatever it is gets in the way of just basic common sense.
Starting point is 00:16:02 You might be for illegal immigration. You might be for more immigrants. You might be for being nice to people from different cultures and all these things. that are promoted by the left. But it gets to a point where you're defending this indefensible position where you're ignoring real dangers to the citizens of your country. And the same thing I think happens with Planned Parenthood. I mean, Planned Parenthood, a lot of, lately they've been coming out with these pamphlets
Starting point is 00:16:27 that people have been finding from the 50s where they're like, you know what? Abortion is ending a life. It's killing a baby. But, you know, birth control is not abortion. You should know that. And people are like, well, they were admitting. They were admitting that this was killing a child, and that is an absolutely valid observation on that. But more importantly, I think, is progressivism.
Starting point is 00:16:50 At that time, they were trying to win a battle about birth control. So they didn't care what they said about abortion. Abortion wasn't there. They did, nope, they didn't care. They'd say anything about abortion to win this thing today. And they will justify importing gang members. They will act as if these crimes don't exist. They will say, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:11 It really robs me the wrong way. Sometimes when an eyeball falls on my lap, which is another quote from one of those Planned Parenthood videos, if you missed that yesterday. They'll say anything to win the thing in front of them to advance progressivism by one step. And that, to me, indefensible. So what was the, why is he letting the MS-13 gang members in
Starting point is 00:17:36 knowingly over the border. What is he trying to win? Well, I mean, I think it's, if you admit that we have a problem with gang violence coming across the border in any real fashion. Right, okay, so you're saying that he's not bringing them in to make a case,
Starting point is 00:17:52 he's silencing people from saying that. Well, you have to be a whistleblower to report it, right? Right. I mean, that makes sense. It's terrifying. Because these are, you wish we were in a country in which people weren't overwhelmed by that. winning these little political arguments,
Starting point is 00:18:07 where we could all come together, you know, stopping gang members from coming into the country should be fairly obvious. I mean, even, wouldn't you think, and I got to believe these people exist, but wouldn't you think, a pro-choice person could come out
Starting point is 00:18:21 and be okay saying, wow, it's really bad what they're doing today with these clinics? Maybe you believe in something earlier on in the pregnancy or whatever, but they can't even bring themselves to criticize people who are admitting, pulling legs and arms off of children so they don't get in trouble.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I will tell you this. We said this yesterday. It's not the evil people you have to worry about in the world. They always exist. It's the apathetic people that are the problem. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury. Listen to the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Hello, America. It is Friday. And we are thrilled that you would choose to spend some time with us today. Thank you so much for that. as we try to figure out this crazy chaotic world and make sense of it you know we were talking you know some some deep stuff a minute ago but you know as I said before we went into the break it's not the evil people that we have to worry about it really is the apathetic people that we need to wake up I don't know how to talk to somebody who is that far gone and evil and I'm not
Starting point is 00:19:36 sure I can wake anybody up, but if we can just wake up a few apathetic people, the world changes. And if you don't, the world continues to slide downhill because evil advances. You know, it's Adolf Hitler learned from the Turks. Nobody cared about the Armenian genocide. The world was apathetic. He saw that and he said, look at the Christian world didn't even stand up for the the Christians being slaughtered. Imagine what we can do.
Starting point is 00:20:13 I went to Auschwitz and about, I don't know, 50 yards behind the gas chambers and the crematoriums is the Commodonts house. Maybe 100 yards. I think it's 50, but maybe 100 yards. But it's right there. And there's a fence around the house. Now the guy from Auschwitz, he was obviously a monster.
Starting point is 00:20:36 but he lived there with his wife and two or three children and the kids would be out back playing with bunny rabbits I mean they had a little bunny rabbit hut right there with a smoke billowing behind and the kids would go outside the kids had no idea dad was a monster and they were playing one day with the bunny rabbit and one of the inmates
Starting point is 00:20:59 one of the kids screamed because they saw something move in the garden and it was an inmate and he had crawled through the fence just to get a potato. Dad came out and blew his brains out in front of the kids and the bunny rabbit.
Starting point is 00:21:17 When you are surrounded by evil and corruption when it becomes so prevalent it's advanced so far the apathetic they're not just asleep, they're dead
Starting point is 00:21:35 inside. they don't notice. That's just what people do. And it's frightening because it's the, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's always among us. It's always there. It's just that the awake usually push it back into the darkness. So we really have to figure out how to be awake. Well, learning is, is one of those ways, right? You have to know the information.
Starting point is 00:22:05 and know the history. How many times have we talked about progressives from the past and learned that what we thought was true about them 10 years ago was actually the opposite? Yeah. And this goes all the way to maybe the most covered thing of all time is World War II, at least in our lifetimes. The Nazis, you know, they have so many consistent commonalities with other movements and progressives in particular. Oh, I love the letter that we have in the Mercury Library from the, like, what is it, the universal betterment for man, progressive operation in California that says, thank you for coming to Germany. 50 million people have been inspired by your progressive ideas and rest assured, your name will always be remembered.
Starting point is 00:23:03 as part of the eugenics program that we are going to start. Like it was going to be something that was praised until the end of time. They all believed it and loved it. Right. Which is really fascinating. You told me, I think it was two or three weeks ago, we were discussing the environmentalist policies of the Nazi regime. And you asked me to kind of go through that and pick out all of the ties.
Starting point is 00:23:26 They're extensive. Because Adolf Hitler was, I mean, he would have been an environmentalist. I mean, he was an environmentalist in many ways, and he loved dogs and animals, you know, more than people. Yeah, we went back and looked at it, and there were a lot of similarities. Much of the 1960s and 70s overpopulation scare shared large parts of its concerns with Hitler. Both movements were obsessed with the idea that they could not produce enough food to feed the increasing numbers of people. Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever. small increases in food supplies we make, as environmental legend slash crazy person, Paul Erlich put it.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Of course, it's not as plausible to find new space to grow food when you're talking about the whole planet. Hitler only cared about Germans and could solve this problem by gaining living space to the east. The book Hitler Ascent quotes Minkom's first volume, noting Hitler's belief that the New Reich would have to conquer with the German sword, the soil, that the German plow would till in order to provide the people with their daily bread. Hitler's desire for living space was specifically to secure adequate food supplies for the German people. How important was living space? Hitler's two most important goals,
Starting point is 00:24:52 the destruction of Jewish Bolshevism and the conquest of living space in the East. Despite all the tactical flexibility and political maneuverability he was to show later in his career, Hitler always insisted on these two goals with dogmatic rigidity. The BBC wrote about the movement that influenced Hitler, including the growing concern about the allegedly negative effects of industrialization and urbanization. There is also a belief in the virtues of agrarian society and the panic over Germany's limited resources of food and raw materials. The only thing keeping those quotes off a Prius bumper sticker is that they're too long.
Starting point is 00:25:32 The environmentalists of the day certainly noticed the Nazis' green efforts. German conservationist Wilhelm Leinenkamper wrote that the Nazis refuse all kinds of compromise and demand strict, literal fulfillment. Those refusing the call of sacrifice are under attack, and rightly so. Sounds like something you'd hear about those evil climate deniers today. The book The Green and the Brown by Environmental Professor Frank Ucoetter dives into the debate as to why environmentalists were so enthralled with Nazis. Much of it was an ability to overlook the nastiness of the regime to get their desired outcomes. But the similarities
Starting point is 00:26:10 to modern-day environmentalism are unmistakable, as you co-etter sums up nicely, the lion's share of conservationist publications between 1933 and 1945 could be printed again today without raising eyebrows. The Nazi policy of Dowerwald, or Eterns, forest was a nationwide, top-down, sustainable forestry program that was a passion project of one Erming Gering. Long before he sampled the sweet taste of cyanide, he said, quote, only by the complete subjection of the individual to the service of the whole, can the perpetuity of the community be assured. Eternal forests and eternal nation are ideas that are indissolubly linked. Does that sound right wing to you? For many of today's environmentalists, the Nazi
Starting point is 00:26:58 eternal forest program is as impressive as a yummy glass of lukewarm kombucha. Ironically, then we might conclude that it was the Nazis who pioneered the application of ecologically aware forestry in Germany. But is this assessment correct? The book rightly points out that when the war ramped up, the Nazis clearly prioritized the military over the trees, but quote, I would argue that this policy left a long-term legacy for the German forest that was ecologically beneficial. Jonah Goldberg also outlined the regime's similarities when it came to these areas in his book, Liberal Fascism.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Heinrich Himmler was a certified animal rights activist, an aggressive promoter of natural healing. Rudolph Hess, Hitler's deputy, championed homeopathy and herbal remedies. Hitler and his advisors dedicated hours of their time to discussions the need to move the entire nation to vegetarianism as a response to the unhealthiness promoted by capitalization. A Hitler youth manual proclaimed nutrition is not a private matter. Organic food was inextricably linked to what the Nazis then described as the left does today as social justice issues. The one environmental issue that you don't see Hitler all that concerned about was global warming, which is odd considering the earth warmed about 0.7 degrees Celsius between 1910 and 1940, just slightly less than the entire amount of warming that has occurred in the last century. I guess the world had more pressing issues to deal with back then. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:30 You think? Very good. Thank you, Stu. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Mercury. AAA 727 back. This is the Glenn Beck program. So here we are entering Memorial Day weekend, which is fantastic.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And I like the way that we remember those who, fought and died for our country by eating our face off. By one of the seven deadly sense. I will tell you, we don't do that very often. You know, okay, we do it when we celebrate the Lord's birthday. We eat our face off. When he died and rose again, we eat our face off. Thanksgiving, we eat our face off.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I don't know if you see a trend on American holidays, but generally, we eat our face off. I've noticed over time that I just really enjoy food and will really look for any excuse. Can I ask you a question? What would life be like without food? I've often thought of the... It would be short. We have...
Starting point is 00:29:54 Life would be short without food. Not... I'm not going to shit. Boy, do I need this vacation. What I mean is if we didn't have, if we could just take a pill, we'd be get all the nutrition and everything else. You wouldn't have to prepare food. Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't have to go out to a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:30:13 You wouldn't have to. You wouldn't have to. You wouldn't have to have a wife. Wait, what? I just thought we were naming what we wouldn't need if we wouldn't go food. It was another one of Jeffie's sexist jokes. Yeah. No, I don't think that's a sexist joke.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I think that was a real statement. That's real. Yeah. You know who kind of went through this, actually? You may have spoken to him about it, but is Penn Gillette. Because Penn Gillette went from a guy who really loved food and ate it all the time. And it was a, you know, Penn was a big guy. And he wrote a book that came out last year about his weight loss of over 100 pounds.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And the way he did it. Oh, shut up. In, by the way, three months. Shut up. Three months. Like 100 pounds or 80 pounds. It was 100. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:59 It was 100 pounds. and like, I don't remember. It lost 100 pounds and 100 days. Yeah. So it was very close to that number. Shut up, man. Right. And the way he did it was he basically eliminated food from his world.
Starting point is 00:31:11 So, like, he started out the first, you know, two weeks he ate basically nothing. I swear to you, nothing but potatoes for two weeks. And not butter. No salt. No gravy. Nothing. No salt. No gravy.
Starting point is 00:31:24 What kind of diet are you on? That may be why your diets don't work. What? It's a gravy. You're going to put gravy on potatoes. We're going to eat a potato on gravy? That doesn't make any sense to me. You could have a potato.
Starting point is 00:31:39 You could have a potato and, you know, some sort of buttery spread. I could eat it for two weeks if there was plenty of butter, sour cream, and gravy. I'd be fine for two weeks. Wait, sour cream and gravy? Of course. No butter. Wait, is it milk gravy with sausage pieces? Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:57 All right, I got it. I got it. We've got it. We're not living in cave, man. Right? No butter, no sour cream, no salt, no bacon bits, no cheese, nothing, just potatoes for two weeks. And what was interesting, as he described it, was essentially he just lost all real desire to eat food. Like, you get to that point where you're just like, well, because he was saying that he was, it was so bland for so long that he would start to notice like the little, like, he could actually taste of potato.
Starting point is 00:32:29 It was no longer bland to him because he just had, he almost like, he like put his taste buds to sleep. So anything would wake them up. So when he would have like a little bit of Tabasco when he started introducing that, it was like this flavor, you know, rainbow to him. But what he described was one of the most difficult things of doing it is here's a guy who's obviously an entertainment. He's traveling a lot. He's doing all sorts of things was to realize how important to just the human interaction experience food is. food is. It's constantly going out to dinner.
Starting point is 00:33:01 You're eating with each other. You're sitting down for a lunch meeting. He said he'd go to like, you know, he's in Hollywood, so he would go to, or he's in Vegas, but he would go to like a Hollywood type meeting. And they're just be catering there at 11 a.m. With Danishes and bagels and cookies and all that stuff. I hate that when they do that. I know, but you just by default, yeah, you have one Danish.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And then you're walking by and you grab a couple cookies. And you want to be eating 800 calories and I even thinking about it. Well, when he eliminated that, he realized how much of a weight that was. It was a constant search for those times. And when you don't care about it anymore, you kind of like free up your life. I mean, the world without food would be, first of all, short. But second of all, if you kind of eliminated the need for it, and you, because, you know, that guy who did the, he was eating like, he's calling it, what's the, the Charlton-Heston reference you always use.
Starting point is 00:33:54 He's running green. He's just calling it soylent. I don't know if he still makes it or not. But it was like that was the dumbest name I've ever heard of. Yeah, because it's not, you don't want to name it. It's not people. Hey, it's a cannibalism. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Well, that's not a good meat product. No. His was like all that. It was all the food you need, so you just use it as fuel. I don't care about food. That's a huge change in the human, especially in American experience. I will tell you. That's why people ate Soiling Green.
Starting point is 00:34:18 If I could just eat on the holidays, where you're together with the family and stuff, so you're kind of busy doing stuff, you don't have to sit and talk to them. It'd be fantastic. The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Hello America. Bill O'Reilly. And his recap of the week begins right now. It's Friday.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I will make you stand. Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is The Glen. Bill O'Reilly is still sharing his opinions at Bill O'Reilly.com. with podcasts where he comments on the news of the day every day. You want to catch that at bill o'Reilly.com. Let me introduce you to my friend Bill O'Reilly. Hi, Bill.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I mean, even after last week, you know, still the warm. There's no. All week, that wasn't warm and fuzzy? That was not, well, the kind of half snort, half breath, like, oh, geez. How old, Beck? I want to keep it piffy, Beck, so you get into the good.
Starting point is 00:36:05 All right, okay. All right. So have you been, of course you have. the ratings over at Fox News since you left. Yeah, what about them? Another very bad week for Fox News in third place. Your slot is in third place. And now it appears as they're coming after,
Starting point is 00:36:26 as I predicted on this program, coming after Sean Hannity. Right. They did okay on their coverage of the Manchester terror attack. I think Fox is number one at night. We talked about this last week when we said that if you're going to make big changes in any operation, whether it's TV, radio sports, got to have a plan. I'm not sure that the Fox News poobahs. But, you know, there's a lot of talent there.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Are you concerned about, I'm concerned about, I mean, you know, Sean Hannity and I disagree on an awful lot of things. Yeah, the Hannity thing is interesting because it's the same playbook that they use with me. and they being media matters and their affiliated groups. And they're going after him in exactly the same way. Yeah, terrorizes sponsors. Right. And I wonder if Fox is going to learn the lesson or if they're going to let that happen. And if he goes, the next stop, they've cleaned house at Fox.
Starting point is 00:37:35 The next stop is talk radio. Well, that's right. This is a very, very methodical and effective campaign of media terror. That's what it is, media terror. These people sit up there and they threaten sponsors. If you don't pull out, then we're going to put it on the Internet that nobody should buy your car or whatever product. And so they pull out.
Starting point is 00:38:02 The key to it is if the broadcast companies themselves are going to stand up to this. And everybody should because it would happen to anyone. and it's clear what's happening. And we're going to expose it. My team that I put together to investigate what happened to me. Have amazing information for everybody about how well-funded and targeted this is. So if Fox News wants to keep any semblance of what it once was, it's going to have to fight these people.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And I'm not sure whether they will or will not. Before we go on the next topic, I just have to know, Terra. Is that a word for, that's Latin for land, isn't it? No, it's O-R, not A. Right, exactly. Oh, I see. And Latin is T-E-R-A.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Well, I didn't know what you were saying, because I know how to spell terror and pronounce it, and you seem confused because it sounded like you were saying it's terrible. I'm from Long Island. Right. Okay, all right. I got it. Are you talking down to me?
Starting point is 00:39:17 No, no, no, no. Mr. O'Reilly, you are the king, sir, and I would never do that. All right, so let's go to the terror attacks in Manchester, England. What are your thoughts on that, Bill? Another ISIS operation. Looks like the guy was trained in Syria, got there from Libya, his father and his brother had been arrested of the same. Am I asked this question for years?
Starting point is 00:39:47 We're in town called Raka. Why? Why is in every nation joined together and say we're going to obliterate these people by force? And that's that. I don't understand why they have been able to sit there for four years. Do you believe that that is an accomplishment of Donald Trump? He was at the EU yesterday in Brussels, not the EU, but NATO headquarters in Brussels. and while, you know, some of the NATO people said,
Starting point is 00:40:24 we have differences of opinion with Mr. Trump, but not on this. We are united against ISIS. Well, they say that, but where's the declaration of war that NATO should announce against ISIS? And, you know, there's got to be some formalization here of the fight, and there isn't. So anybody get up there and say, oh, it's terrible, we're going to fight ISIS,
Starting point is 00:40:46 and then what are they going to do? What are they going to do? Are you going to put troops, more troops in Afghanistan because ISIS is there now? Are you going to pay more of the freight that Trump has been banging the drum on? Are you going to pay more of the cost of the NATO alliance? So what are you going to do? So once it gets into specifics and you don't hear much from them, everybody's, oh yeah, it's terrible. We're going to go get them, and then nobody goes gets them.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Let me play a clip from Bill O'Reilly.com. This is, I believe this is Tuesday's podcast. listen to this. If we have it. Do we have it? Wasn't that interesting? You should talk more on your podcast. Do we have it? Keith, do we have that clip?
Starting point is 00:41:33 I'd be having some audio issues here. Some audio issues. Sorry about that. Okay, so let's get back to it. It was a fascinating clip. It really was, Bill. We don't actually have a clip. None of us have listened to your podcast. Okay, so in the clip,
Starting point is 00:41:50 you are, you make the point that President Obama refused to confront evil before it grew out of control and now, and now, you know, little girls were killed at a pop concert. But I want to ask you on that, Bill, is President Obama yesterday came out with a statement and I quote, at least we did something in Syria.
Starting point is 00:42:18 My response was, Really? How do you respond to that? Yeah, what did he do besides draw a line in the sand and then let them stomp all over him? I think the Obama administration was, and I think that's beyond a reasonable doubt. I understand the policy. He didn't want to confront foreign terror, Afghanistan, or chase the Taliban around. He didn't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:43:05 So he withdrew, withdrew the traps from Iraq. the troops from Iraq, cut the force in Afghanistan. So what happened? ISIS pops up in Iraq, gains strength, goes over to Syria, causes trouble. Now they're in Afghanistan. So I think the president might say, you know, my policy really didn't work. It was sincere. We thought it would.
Starting point is 00:43:25 It didn't. And now we have to do something else. That seems logical to me. So you also have made the point this week in the podcast about Donald Trump, you know, did what he could. to stop terrorists from coming to America, potential terrorists coming to America, and creating chaos and committing these heinous acts here in America.
Starting point is 00:43:50 He was ridiculed, as you said, he was ridiculed, and the judges went around him. Trump's travel ban was blocked yet again, this time, by the Fourth Circuit Court. Right. Well, it's not a partisan issue for me. I mean, if the President of the United States wants to stop immigration from seven countries that can't vet people getting on airplanes, that seems to be a logical thing, but the left has made it into an anti-Muslim screed. The judges have upheld that screed. It's not being based on a constitution.
Starting point is 00:44:24 In the Supreme Court, the President will win, and he should take it there as soon as he can. Is that going to make a big difference? Seven countries, a few refugees coming here? No. but it's a symbolic thing that, you know, the world has to be an orderly place. And if you have a Somalia, where anybody can get on an airplane and go to Paris
Starting point is 00:44:42 and then change planes go to New York, you might want to stop that. Right. So to me, again, it's all logical. And I appreciate you referring to the podcast, by the way, a quick plug. Everybody, not just premium members, for Bill O'Reilly.com,
Starting point is 00:44:57 can listen to all a podcast this coming Memorial Day weekend, and get a flavor of what we're doing. so I just wanted to get that in. crap, I was going to the beach. I didn't know about this. I got to sit in my house. You know, I have your little headphones on. I got to sit in my house all day and just listen to Billorreilly.com podcast.
Starting point is 00:45:15 That's an incredible, I wish I would have known earlier. Listen, on your introduction, you are the show of enlightenment. Yes. So you're just spreading that enlightenment by promoting bill o'Reilly.com. Right, okay. Bill o'Reilly.com. Back in a second with more of Bill O'Reilly. He's on with us every Friday to,
Starting point is 00:45:31 to kind of, you know, tell us what he's picked up that we might have missed, or others certainly has missed, have missed in the news reporting of the week. Every Friday, Bill O'Reilly. This is the Glenn Beck program. Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at glenbeck.com. Mercury. Glenn Beck program. I believe that Trump as co.
Starting point is 00:46:04 votes and Rogers, hey, if you don't have anything, would you please put that out because my administration is under siege? That's a reasonable request. That's reasonable. If I'm president and I'm asking my guys, look, do you have anything? And if you don't, can you just maybe go on a record and say at this point in time, this day, we don't really have much? That boosts morale. It's a reasonable request, but it's now being spun as some kind of behind the scenes, behind the back, dastardly deed. So, you know, Bill, what I like about this is the fact that you have a dog bark in the middle of a very important point. Watchdog. I'm a watchdog. No, that's not a watchdog. If that's your watchdog, I'm coming to rob your house.
Starting point is 00:46:59 that's a little yip-y-y-dog. No, that's a fierce corgi. What are you, the queen? The queen never watched the dogs, though. So let me go back to this point. Because what the press was saying this week about Donald Trump was, hey, he went and he asked, you know, look, can you just say that you're not, you don't have anything.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Well, that's the way they spun it. But I think the truth is what you just said. And it is reasonable. Say, look, the country can't take a long, drawn-out scandal. If you have something or, you know, at this point, you can say, we don't have anything, but it's continuing. Whatever. Can you just keep the people up to speed?
Starting point is 00:47:55 Because this is causing chaos. Right. It's as simple as that. But just the fact that Trump would address the issue with anybody involved in the investigation means that he's corrupting it. So I think this is the kind of perspective that Americans need to hear because they're not hearing it on the national news television broadcast and in the newspapers. They're not hearing it. It's like everything, every leak is a negative and he's just the devil. and everything he does is bad, and that's that. But if you're president, you would do exactly what you just said, Beck, you'd say, you don't want an update, okay? Look, I want to know if any of my guys are into suspicion. I'd like to know that. You know, I mean, and I have an obligation to run the country,
Starting point is 00:48:50 and this is demoralizing the country, so let's get updates from time to time. For instance, what's wrong with that? The other thing is that he hired a private attorney. I would absolutely do that if I were here. I'd have five of them. Yeah, I would too. You are sitting there. You are the most targeted man.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I would lawyer up because you know, I mean, I don't know if you saw this, Bill, but there is, I'm trying to remember the website we found out. It's on some crazy left Silicon Valley tech website. At least that's the way I looked at it, and I don't know it thoroughly, but it just screamed lefty. And what they did is they took old clips from the 1980s and 90s
Starting point is 00:49:35 of Donald Trump, and then they took new clips. And then they went to neurologists and neuro speech therapists and said, is he declining in health? I mean, his brain health.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And they actually, I mean, you're not supposed to diagnose people. Psychiatrist neurologist, they were all on the record, none of them had their name exposed, saying, yep, it looks like he's in the early stages of dementia. They're setting up the 25th Amendment. They'll do any private lawyers, but he's also done something else that's interesting. He's formed a rapid deployment force. Answer, all of these leaks provide some perspective for the country when they come out in the morning
Starting point is 00:50:34 paper, he's got guys that are now dedicated to saying, well, wait a minute, it's not quite that way. Because Spicer, he's really not effective doing that. He needs to have a very methodical crew that can run down what the allegations are, and then here are the facts, needs to do it on a website, so people can read it. But they are organizing that now, and he has to, because it's a drip, drip, drip, you're right. They're going to try to set him up in any way they can to get him out of office.
Starting point is 00:51:06 that's the goal. The goal isn't reporting the honest truth to the American public. The goal is to get this man out of office. So let me ask you this, Bill. Honest question. So I know it's a little bit of a CNN question, but let me ask you. You respect the president. You like the president. So that's an easy question. Well, I've known him for 30 years. I like him as a guy. Okay, all right. So you but you said you're like the office of the president.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Good. All right. So you like him as a guy, and you, if he took a dump on your desk, would you say it was art? Look, that was a crude remark by Anderson Cooper. Oh, my God. I didn't even know. What? I didn't. I was surprised because Cooper usually doesn't traffic in that stuff. Cooper is, Cooper, I think, lost his, lost his mind temporarily, and he immediately apologized for it. Yeah, and he felt really bad. I mean, the eye roll and everything. You know, he doesn't like Trump fine.
Starting point is 00:52:10 We all understand that. Your whole crew doesn't like Trump as CNN. If you do like Trump at CNN, you really can't function there. No. And the same thing with the newspapers. Look, for my purposes, I'm critical on Trump. Anybody remembering my interviews with him?
Starting point is 00:52:31 I mean, I confronted him on Putin. That was a famous worldwide thing. I confront him on immigration. I confront him on a whole bunch of stuff. So it's not my job. rubber stamping Donald Trump as president. My job is to try to get to the truth of whatever is happening that day. That is my job. And I'll tell you what, in the mainstream American media now, by mainstream I mean the national press. Ten seconds. They aren't looking for the truth. They do not
Starting point is 00:53:02 look for the truth. More with Bill O'Reilly from billowryly.com next. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Sign up for the newsletter and get all the info you need to know at glenbach.com. Now, I have Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com. And this is a special Friday. He's usually with us for an hour on Friday, so we can hear his opinion and remind you that he is on every day on podcast at bill o'Reilly.com. But I wanted to take this moment, and Bill, I hope you take this moment.
Starting point is 00:53:44 and Bill, I hope you take this as seriously as we do, and I know you do, or will, because you're a body language expert. Am I not correct? I had a segment on body language. I don't know if I'd be an expert. I believe that's an expert. I'm an observer of your body language, Beck, and it's frightening. How's his posture?
Starting point is 00:54:10 So, I mean, you know, if you look it back and the way he moves around, you can have a very, very good discussion with an archaeologist and a paleontologist. Wow. Let me tell you something right now. If you're watching, those fingers are in casts. I cannot move those two fingers. And they just have to be one broken on each hand and nothing more. So, Bill, I want to ask you this, because there's been quite a controversy over three events this week. One happened yesterday.
Starting point is 00:54:49 One happened, I think, on Tuesday, and then what happened on Wednesday. Let's start on Tuesday. He's landing in Jerusalem, President Trump, and he's coming down the red carpet, and there is footage of Melania, Trump reaching out to hold Melania's hand, And she slaps it away. Did you see it? I mean, I didn't take it as a slap, but might have been just, look, I can make it down here myself or something. You know, I kind of try to stay away from that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But yes, it was amusing to those who do not like the Trumps. No, no, no, it wasn't amusing to me because I've lived that life. My wife has done that to me. And I just didn't know. I thought maybe somebody who's all hoity-to-to-y. actually has that happen to him. Then, on the next day, the next day, again on the tarmac, he reaches for her hand and she moves her hand and crosses her face to brush back her hair and he doesn't reach for her hand
Starting point is 00:55:58 again. Coincident? She might be mad at him or something. You know how that goes. Okay. All right. All right. Now here's the...
Starting point is 00:56:04 So you'll admit that, though. It looks like she's mad at it. It might. It might. Maybe. Maybe. I mean, I know you don't like to connect the dots, but can we infer that she's pissed off at him? I think she's, I think she's furious with Putin and is transferring.
Starting point is 00:56:22 All right. So the next one, the next one, the next one. This has nothing to do with Melania. Did you see the footage from yesterday with Donald Trump at the NATO summit where he took, if you want to call him a president, the president of Montenegro, and just pushed him out of the way and then stood in the front.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Not like, he didn't even have any excuses. Not like, hey, excuse me for a second I had to hear this. He just pushed him out of the way, stood in his place, and then just kind of like looked around. Did you see that? I did not see that. I have to confess. Awesome. But I did read about that.
Starting point is 00:57:08 But what I read on the progressive websites was he kicked him in the groin. No, no, no, no, no, no. You're not taking this seriously, Bill. Are you sensing that, too? I have. This is real news. The Montenegro guy. Yeah, I mean.
Starting point is 00:57:28 That didn't happen? No. No. And, you know, and the Montenegro guy, president or king or whatever he is, that seems important to NATO. I mean, we don't have the fighting, you know. We lose Montenegro and it's over. We don't have the fighting Montes with us.
Starting point is 00:57:46 We're in trouble. Listen, Montenegro is a beautiful country. All right, but there is a tradition there that perhaps you don't know back. As a sign of affection and respect, you shove people. Especially the president. It goes right up to the top. The more you shove, the more you love them. I like that. I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Any kind of international stuff just run it right by me. So, Bill, you've been to Montenegro. Many times. I have a condo there. Right there by the beach area. Yeah, it was a good view of Kosovo right from my... Right, it's beautiful, beautiful, especially this time of year. All right, did we miss anything, Bill? Well, Father's Day is coming up back, and again,
Starting point is 00:58:38 We want you to check out killing the rising son for dad and granddad. And the very hysterical and enlightening old school life in the same lane. So we want people to check that out for dad. It makes good gifts. Dad does not want the tie this year. Dad told me and granddad certainly doesn't want the tie. Wants the books. So go in and please check those out.
Starting point is 00:59:00 And that's all pretty much I have. My dad doesn't want the... Your deceased father. Oh, turn it. Yeah, you put the books on his grave very night. Oh, that was last week. Yeah, you remembered that. But you remembered that.
Starting point is 00:59:15 But you know what people don't know is that your late father is buried in Montenegro. Right. Wow. Really? Yeah, yeah. Right there by the beach area. The beach area. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Yeah. So it's very nice. It's very nice. Bill, have a great Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day. Yeah. What are you going to do? I'm going to go out to the beach myself and, you know, just chant and try to get in touch with Chelsea Clinton, who's my new favorite Clinton.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Really? Really? Yeah. She's been saying some things this week that, you know, that you've kind of taken issue with. Yes, I have. Yeah. Chelsea wants to be the arbiter of what's racist and homophobic and sex. She's going to make the decisions.
Starting point is 01:00:05 I don't know if Chelsea's quite up to that, but perhaps I'm wrong. Why do you say she's not qualified? She's the daughter of a... No one is qualified to make those decisions unless you can have an x-ray into a person's heart. What Chelsea wants to do is just create this PC culture where if you say, gee, you know, I support a border wall. You're a bigot. Or I support work fare.
Starting point is 01:00:33 If you're going to get some government money, you really should go out and look for, up, you're anti-poor, this is what Chelsea wants to do. So I kind of took her to task for that. So if you said I identify as a black man, and I'm going to work for the NAACP, do you think they'd embrace you like they did? No. No. I believe that in this country, if we were all honest with each other about, look, this is my circumstance,
Starting point is 01:01:06 and here's where I'd like it to be better, and maybe you could help me there, I think that 90% of Americans would buy into all of that. But if you start to accuse people of being racist and this and that, and it's all negative, and you're a bad person, just because you don't agree with me politically, we're never going to solve any problems. And that's where we find ourselves right now.
Starting point is 01:01:30 We find ourselves with the progressive left demonizing and trying to harm anyone with whom they disagree. And that is a bad place to be. What is the thing that reasonable people on the left side of the spectrum say about the right that is true or partially true? You know, if you talk to moderate Democrats or liberal people who are open-minded and will listen to an opposing point of view, rather than condemning it immediately, you'll find that they feel the right is not compassionate enough. That's the common thread.
Starting point is 01:02:15 All right, you don't feel sorry for the folks enough. But if you say to them, as I do, and I think you do this as well, my solutions to the problems are more compassionate because they'll solve the problem, at least partially. Your solutions never solve it. You feel bad for them, but nothing gets better. Yeah, it's interesting that, you know, like Black Lives Matter, they're fighting against depression. But I believe the solutions that they are recommending of, you know,
Starting point is 01:02:52 an absence of capitalism, et cetera, et cetera, only will create more oppression. It, you know, education, family values, respect for the Constitution, that doesn't mean respect for the law, if the law is wrong. It means respect the Constitution. Those things lead to freedom. They don't like the Constitution, generally speaking, the Black Lives Matter people. They feel the Constitution was put into place by slave owners, by brutalizers of their race.
Starting point is 01:03:28 They don't want any part of it. They want to tear it down. That's why they say that the police, are bad. Okay. This is the Black Lives Matter theme. Police are bad. Police protect poor people and defenseless people, but not in their eyes. They're bad. Okay, Black Lives Matter. What would you put in place of the police? Silence. They don't have it. They don't know. It's all about victimization from them. This is a crew that, you know, has risen up based on America is bad, and you better know it.
Starting point is 01:04:05 And if you don't know it, then you're bad. That's what that crew stands for. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com all this weekend.

Starting point is 01:05:11 Mercury. The Glenn Beck Program. Let me show you, play some audio here, show you how crazy Chelsea Clinton has become. Listen to this and tell me how are these all interconnected. Which is to be able to kind of carry multiple concerns in both our head and our heart. I'm just listening kind of to the concerns around education and climate change, kind of women's health, child marriage, access to technology. All of those are, of course,
Starting point is 01:05:50 interconnected. We have to focus on each of them kind of in their interconnectedness and all silly. You're in the audience and you're going, yes, yes, well, wait a minute. Wait, wait, hold it. Child marriage and global warming. are interconnected. It is so hot. Have you not ever heard anybody? I am so hot. I am so hot. So hot I'm married a toddler?
Starting point is 01:06:15 No. Well, no. It is toasty out here. But I think you look at somebody, when you look at somebody who's hot, don't you want to, you know, right? You're looking at somebody who's hot. Smoking hot. I don't think that's what they're speaking up, however.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Seven-year-old children are closer to the asphalt. so they get hotter, faster. Wow. It's just a theory, but I think you see the connections there. Oh my gosh. They're obvious. They're of course interconnected. Of course. Of course they're interconnected.
Starting point is 01:06:49 That is bizarre. And it was the other one, access to technology? Yeah. Global warming. Global warming. Let's listen. I'm just listening to the concerns around education and climate change. Okay, we got education, women's health.
Starting point is 01:07:04 Child marriage, access to technology. Access to technology. All of those are of course interconnected. You're getting and you are getting an e-marriage certificate. So you get it. Okay, but how does that tie in then to climate change again? Because it's too hot to get one outside. You can't go outside.
Starting point is 01:07:25 To go to the city hall. You've got to do it online. What? What? The Glenn Bank program. Mercury. The Blaze Radio Network. On demand.
Starting point is 01:08:00 Hello, America. The world is so upside down. But the good news is there are a few people that are starting to make sense. And we noticed this pattern, and we thought we got to save all this stuff for Friday, because it's too funny and two, it'll make you feel really, really good when we tell you who is starting to make sense. Well, we're going to actually start with a little Chelsea Clinton, which will make you a little bit of pee might come out while you're listening to it.
Starting point is 01:08:35 And then we get to some comedy. And we begin that right now because it's Friday. All right. So I want to start with Chelsea Clinton just to show you people can say anything now. And everybody will just nod their head like they're a little bobblehead in the back of some guy's truck. Chelsea Clinton is saying the craziest crap here. And nobody's going, wait a minute. What? Now listen. I'm just listening kind of to the concerns around education and climate change,
Starting point is 01:09:45 kind of women's health, child marriage, access to technology, all of those are of course interconnected. Of course they are. We have to focus on each of them. Wait, we shouldn't focus on each of them. We have to focus on all of them because climate change is of course connected to child marriage. Well, let me ask you a question. 80 years ago.
Starting point is 01:10:09 80 years. The average temperature for the month of May is, what, 71. Okay. Now it's 72. Well, not quite 70. It's 71.9. What are you going to do? You're going to get married as a child, right?
Starting point is 01:10:24 That's the only thing left to do is to propose to some. You say to yourself at 7. It's hot. It's almost. it's almost 8 tenths of a degree hotter than it was 47 years ago
Starting point is 01:10:45 and that was my age plus 40 years that I have no concept of and I've got to get married right away that's what it is or is it a 47
Starting point is 01:11:03 year old who has lived his whole life with this constant oppressive another tenth of a degree degree hotter this month, another tenth of degree hotter as it was last year, another tenth of degrees
Starting point is 01:11:19 it was ten years ago, another tenth of a week. Maybe he can't take the constant tenth of a degree rise. So he proposes to a seven-year-old. Yes. So he immediately he's falling to his, not
Starting point is 01:11:36 Listen to this. Do you have romantic music? I... You don't have romantic music. How do you not have... You're the charge of the audio vault? There's no romantic music we can play for. Can we play love story? Sarah, do you have any, you know, Barry White, love story, anything?
Starting point is 01:11:54 Do you have... Oh, yeah, we can totally play Barry White with no problems. Barry White and Love Story? Absolutely. Just play them, Sarah, right away. And on the way out, just submit your bank account to the record company. So when they sue us, we don't have to delay you and bother you for the withdrawals later on. That'll, you know, we don't want to make, we want to.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Did I ever tell you what a buzz kill you are? Oh, he most definitely. Oh, he is. Many times. We just had, we had Mr. No spin zone last hour. We have Dr. No here in the role of Stu. Mr. Bose kill that. So you know, you have nothing, Sarah.
Starting point is 01:12:29 You have nothing. How about somebody with a ukulele? I can play something sad. Is that close enough? Okay, okay, okay, ready? When I point to you, all right. You start playing that, okay? Here we go, all right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:12:43 Now, imagine I'm really old. I'm 47. So far, it's really hard. So I'm standing there and I've had 47 years where the thermometer has crept up 0.8 degrees. Celsius. So it's it's it's point eight degrees hotter than it was when I was a baby. All right. Okay. And I'm like our first I've I've I've kicked and I've screamed and I've I've bought a Prius. I've gone so far. I didn't do anything else to my house. I won't really. I'm not that great at recycling. I talk about I'll get onto a big fat airplane and I'll fly all over the world to talk about. But what I really have done is I've made that sacrifice. of buying a Prius. And so I'm now, I'm, I am, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm out of options.
Starting point is 01:13:46 And I know that in a hundred years, we're all doomed. All right? And so I'm standing there and I just say, dear God, what am I going to do? And I fall to my knees. And now on my knees, I'm sobbing. And then I look up. And across the room, I see the most beautiful seven-year-old I've ever seen. This is really kind of creepy so far.
Starting point is 01:14:25 I'm already down. Can we stop with the story? Wait a minute. You've read the mood. This is completely logical. Chelsea was saying how they're obviously connected. Yes. This is the moment.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Most obvious way I can see this happening. Much more than the seven-year-old going, I'm hot, I'm hot. Now, I'm back on my knees. I look up, she's beautiful, and she's saying, she has a southern accent. Why, why, mister, I am just so hot. And you think to yourself, I must marry her now. That, my friends. is how they're connected.
Starting point is 01:15:09 That was really disturbing. Thank you very much. Mostly because you seem to specify her gender, which I was not, that was not okay. Sorry, I forgot myself, I forgot myself in the moment of desperation of the point of the point seven or eight degrees. Climate change will do that too. It will do that. It will do that.
Starting point is 01:15:36 blinded by the sadness that I forgot she didn't tell me what she identified as. I'm sorry, I did it again. I think it's XI G. No, it didn't tell you. It is it now, I believe.
Starting point is 01:15:52 I believe the right thing to say is it. Is that true? Is that true? Yeah, there was somebody that just... No. Right? Right. Anybody know? It? You know why? Chaos. Nobody knows. to call people. You all
Starting point is 01:16:08 believed that it's it for a second. You went, is it wait a minute? Is it really? Yeah. Why? Chaos. Chaos. I'm telling you right now. Okay. So, now, when we come back, I'm going to make you feel
Starting point is 01:16:24 you're going to say, why, mister, I am just... No, please don't do the southern voice again. Please don't do the sweet southern iced tea voice again. No. No. No. Oh my gosh. Jeffie. saying yes, he likes it. I'll never do it again. Anyway. What's coming up is going to prove what you was talking about. It's going to prove.
Starting point is 01:16:43 So it's so crazy. It's so chaotic. It's being recognized by some very important people. And you are going to love this. Some liberal people. Yeah. You're going to love this. The culture is changing. And we'll get to that here in just a second. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. The Glenn Beck program. I will be my job.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Mercury. The Glenn Beck Programme. 88877 Beck. Welcome to the program. Okay. So here's the theory. They have pushed this craziness like, you know,
Starting point is 01:17:37 child marriage and pedophilia is because of climate change. They are not connected. Oh, Or is terrorism? All of it.
Starting point is 01:17:49 All of it. It's not connected. And they've pushed these ideas so far that culture is starting to push back. If you see, people who are generally considered liberals are pushing back in the comedy realm. That's the first place where it takes root. Once you can joke about it and the people, the audience laughs, when they're ridiculing you, it's over. We want to give you examples. You're going to love these examples.
Starting point is 01:18:23 We start with Patton Oswald. Then he moved to L.A., came out of the closet, told his parents. Parents went, duh. Now he's happy. He's married, happy, running a business. But he has a nephew who goes to his old high school. He's talking about a friend, right? He's really protective of this kid, because his nephew is openly, proudly
Starting point is 01:18:47 defiantly gay, going to high school, and my friend is like, if anyone gives to the, he's so protective, and I get it. So he went back for Thanksgiving, and he's talking to his nephew, and he goes, is everything okay at that school? You know, I went there, I didn't have the best time if you ever want to like talk to me about it. How are things? Are they oppressive, are they mean? And his nephew started choking up and said, yeah, you know, it's pretty rough there, you know. They're still really oppressive, and it's pretty harsh. And my friend, the way he put it to me was my inner Liam Neeson woke up, right?
Starting point is 01:19:34 He was just, like, he was thinking, like, give me a name. Like, he just wanted to go and wipe out this. But he kept this cool, and he was like, well, just let's talk about it. What's going on? Like, how, what are they doing to you? And his nephew said, well, you know, for instance, my gay lesbian transgender club at school, we wanted to have our prom the same night as the straight kids' prom, and they're going to make us wait two weeks to have it.
Starting point is 01:20:03 So it's just really oppressive, you know? And my friend had to stop himself from saying, you need to shut up because... I don't think you know what oppressive means. I mean, that is great and true. That's the pendulum swinging back harder, right? It is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:27 It's true. It's like, okay, we have overplayed the hand of oppression. Nobody even knows what oppression is anymore. Now, here's cut two. Can't keep up with the glossary of terminology. Listen to this. I could not be a more committed. progressive, feminist, pro-gay, pro-transgender person,
Starting point is 01:20:52 but I cannot keep up with the glossary of correct terms. I'm trying. I want to help it, holy f***. It's like a secret club pass where they change it every week, and then you're in trouble. That's not the word we use. It was last week. I had hemorrhoids, my asses is falling out.
Starting point is 01:21:15 I want to help. I know I'm an old, cis, white, but don't give me shit because I didn't know the right term. RuPaul, RuPaul, got into shiher saying tranny.
Starting point is 01:21:31 Ru, Poole! RuPaul, who she laid down on the barbed wire of discrimination throughout the 70s and 80s, so this new generation
Starting point is 01:21:44 could run across her back. and yell at her for saying Trannig. That's the fact. I mean, so true, too. How true? Really? We just had you guys on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:57 I just had you at it. I don't know. We all did the same thing. Is that the right term? I'm not sure. Because they're changing all the time. Well, queer used to be a bad word. And now they openly embrace it and like it apparently.
Starting point is 01:22:11 So why not it? And yet, you don't know. this went through my head as he just said that. Queer is an okay word. I don't know if it's okay for you to say. I couldn't call you that, but you can identify yourself as that. It's in LGBTQ, L-M-N-L-N-L-L-P.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Yeah, that's right. If it's in the letters, you can say it. That's a rule. That is a rule. If it's in the letters that you have to say all the time, you can say the word. L-G-B-T-Q. But you can only say it as the name.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Oh, wait, but it's Q. questioning or queer? Did we never figure that out, did we? I think it stands for both. Yeah. So it's QQ? Yeah. It's a double Q.
Starting point is 01:22:52 It's Q squared. It's LGBTQ squared. Okay. So that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it does. Right? The one I was always confused about was little people. Like, little people seems to me so much worse than midget.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Or dwarf. Or dwarf. Dwarf, I think, is acceptable. Little people. A midget is definitely not. I have to tell you. It sounds so demeaning. It sounds condescending.
Starting point is 01:23:14 me, little people sounds, it's, why don't we just call them munchkins? Right? It does. It has that ring to it. It does. Look at the little people. Isn't that the reality show? The little people show? Reality show is not what they call. There is one little people. Yeah. But that is like the acceptable term now and that one seems it seems like they're going in the wrong direction there. Well, I might have been coined by little people and I'd hate to tell people what they want to be called. I mean, I guess that Everyone gets to pick their own work. If some, you know, if James Colmy is walking around, we're going to call you little people.
Starting point is 01:23:52 That's a problem. A federal dictator. I'm not surprised. We're just looking for the tallest guy in government. James Colby. What should we call them? Wait, you got to pick not because he was FBI director because he was tall? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Okay. That was it. All right. Next one. Civil rights. Dave Chappelle. Listen to this. I get it, though.
Starting point is 01:24:21 I understand why gay people are mad, and I empathize. You know what? I'm just telling you this is a black dude. I support your movement. But if you want to take some advice from a Negro, pace yourself. These things take a while.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Just because they pass the law doesn't mean they're going to like it. Brown v. the Board of Education was in 1955. Somebody called me in traffic last weekend. It's a long, it takes a minute. My wife's friend, Stuart, told me that my wife has a lot of gay friends. Stuart's their leader.
Starting point is 01:24:59 She has a lot of gay friends. And I don't like them. Not because they're gay, I'm just judging them on the merits of their character. They're just not nice dudes. They're fucking rude house guests. They're sitting on my couch, giggling with my wife, eating my motherfuckin macaroons.
Starting point is 01:25:20 And I come in, they act like the party's over. Hey Stuart, what's going on? This guy talks with me the way a cat would speak if a cat can talk. Hi, David. The cat can talk. Stuart, what's all the beef, ma'am? What's going? He always supposed to have some kind of gay political argument.
Starting point is 01:25:40 The last one was about a petition in federal court to take the words husband and wife out of the law. I said, well, why would you want those words out of the law? He said, because it discriminates against same-sex couples. I was like, please save me the semantics. Just trust me, take your chips and get the fucking out of the casino. You're about to crap out. Go outside, talk that over amongst yourselves, and whichever one of you is gayer, that's the wife.
Starting point is 01:26:11 What's amazing is how he's saying, take your chips off the table, go home because you're about to crap out. Don't overplay your hand. Pushing it too far. And it is, that's the message from all of these comedians. This is the Glenn Beck program. Mercury.
Starting point is 01:26:32 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. So let's go back to this. Now, this is good news. Culture is changing. The progressives always. This is what happens in history every time. They always overplay their hands. And they did it so much.
Starting point is 01:26:52 In the early part of the 19th century, they had to change the name of their movement. From progressive to liberal. Yeah. And a classic liberal. That's why you hear liberal and conservative, and it's the opposite in many ways in Europe. A liberal means somebody who's really for freedom, and a conservative is somebody who is more of a fascistic kind of person. and then they have socialists and Marxists and everything else. So liberal used to mean a classic liberal, somebody who is very constitutional and like small minimalist government.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Like libertarian. Right. So they overplay their hand. They've done it each time they've raised their head and they spook the American people. And you're hearing now in culture, you're starting to hear the signs of this. And every time, it's not what these comedians are saying alone. It's that people are laughing and sometimes clapping. When it was Patton Oswald, when he says, I can't keep up with the terminology.
Starting point is 01:28:06 Stop changing the names and what I have to, and rejecting me because I don't know what to call you. And the audience applauded. So relatable. Yes, they all go through it. Because everybody is feeling that chaos of what that does to you. I can't keep up with you. What are you doing? All right.
Starting point is 01:28:25 So let's go to Dave Chappelle, who by the way, I think is probably, would you say the greatest comedian alive today? The best comedian alive today? You've got to see him live before you say that. Because he, I mean, his stage presence is amazing. He's very funny. And I was not a huge fan until I saw him live. But he's that good. I've seen him a video and I think he's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:28:47 He's just fantastic. And I'm a big, I mean, I'm a big fan of Jim Gaffigan and, you know. Brian Regan, I think, is very funny. But Gaffigan is off the charts. But Dave Chappelle is just brilliant, so smart and brilliant. Here he is where he is, he says, let's remember the space shuttle tragedy. Like when tragedy used to strike. I remember I was 12 years old.
Starting point is 01:29:16 and the teacher wheeled the television set into the classroom. You know these things? And she turned it on to one of three channels. And she said, class, the space shuttle is taking off, and we're all going to watch it take off. Man, they're going great for like three to five minutes. That's right. You remember it exploded.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Right on television. Everybody on board. Dead. Immediately presumed dead. It was so bad the teacher looked at all the kids and was like, You can go home. My point is, it's like the space shuttle blows up every day. I mean, it's so true.
Starting point is 01:30:07 It is. Think of everything that has happened in the last four weeks. Think about what has happened in the last four weeks. FBI director fired an investigation into Russia. The Manchester terrorism. The Manchester terrorism. North Korea and possible nuclear war. It's one thing after another.
Starting point is 01:30:33 One thing after another. It's not, you don't have time to digest things. And then you take the cultural things on top of it. Just the terminology. Just how many genders there are. Just, hey, who gets to use the girls' restroom? Just one of those things is big. we're dealing with the biggest problems in our society
Starting point is 01:31:01 and it's like the space shuttle blows up every single day. Yeah, fortunately we were able to see that and have it repeated to us every day on our handheld devices and our laptops and our desktops over and over again. When that happened, when that happened, it wasn't a week before that left the five o'clock news. That was on our news for weeks Because nothing beat that story
Starting point is 01:31:32 That was the big story for weeks That story happens today It happens on a Monday, it's over by Wednesday Over by Wednesday So let's go to Jim Norton now Here is Jim Norton Looking at Caitlin Jenner But it's so funny
Starting point is 01:31:53 With the whole country is like trans-crans And we're really obsessed with it. And it's so funny how when the new thing happens or becomes in the lexicon, you can't joke about it on TV. Like I tried to do a Caitlin Jenner joke in the network. It's like, oh, no transitioning jokes. I'm like, well, it's not even a mean joke. And they're like, yeah, but we just don't like it. They've been marginalized. I'm like, look, just because you've been marginalized doesn't mean that you're removed from the humor spectrum like everybody. Like it wasn't even a mean joke. Like, first of all, the network canceled her reality show. How shit is your reality show?
Starting point is 01:32:25 When you were on a Wheaties box, you're now a woman, you are a Kardashian, you've killed somebody driving, and the network goes, it's boring, there's nothing happening. It's nothing. And I think Hollywood means well, I think the hearts are in the right place, but it's a little bit phony. Some of it is just a little bit fake. Because you know how they can't talk about Caitlin
Starting point is 01:32:44 without saying how beautiful she is? Have you seen how beautiful Caitlin is? No. She looks like the gypsy from thinner. I mean, are you allowed to do that? I guess. But that's what everybody, that's what everybody thinks. That's what they're,
Starting point is 01:33:07 and everybody just falls into line and says, oh, yeah, she's really beautiful. Honest people say, she looks like a dude, man. She looks like a dude. And, you know, whatever. Yeah. I'm not judging her and I feel bad and I don't, I don't have any. recommendations for her, you know, whatever. It's her life and I would hate to, I would hate to have her life. Like what recommendations could you have for her? I really like that approach. You know what?
Starting point is 01:33:39 I just have no recommendations for her. I don't know what to tell you. You know, live long and prosper. I guess Spock had it, right? I mean, really, that's all you got. I mean, I don't have any makeup tips. What dresses might look better on you. I think that's my new approach. I just, I'm sorry I don't have any recommendations for her. Right. How special. Try that. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 01:34:02 There you know. You know, otherwise you just sound mean. You're like, you know, but, you know, there comes a point where you're just like, I can't work with this. There's nothing I can do. You've done it all. Yeah. And it's as good as it's going to get. I think that's the thing you're hitting on there, which is so weird in the culture,
Starting point is 01:34:19 is how immediately we're supposed to accept everything new as if it's always been and always shall be. And not only we're supposed to accept it. but also celebrate it. Embrace it, promote it? No, it's not, that's not what's weird. It's that 80, 90% of the country does it. Does it? Does it? They do it.
Starting point is 01:34:39 Does it? I've been asking for the last four weeks, because I'm working on a project, and I've been asking for the last four weeks, everybody I meet, how many genders are there? One person has said to. One. One.
Starting point is 01:34:54 And you know who it was? Dana. Now I would expect Dana to say that. Everybody else has been like, well, I don't know, 63. You're like, I mean, they're thinking, well, there's two, you know, but, but they don't say that. They're immediately thinking how much to society. They don't want to say the offensive. Right.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Or they just know that society is saying that there's more. So they just fall in line. Right. And how weird is it when Bruce Jenner, who won gold medals, by the way, in 1976, what a gold medal for his athletic prowess? So it was not just a man. He was a strong, powerful, fast man. He was Superman.
Starting point is 01:35:39 And a good-looking man. Yeah, good-looking man. And so now I'm expecting you to, now that you're 68 or whatever he is, she is, you're supposed to be a good-looking woman? Probably not, right? I really haven't seen, did you see? Probably not. You know, here's the same thing, and it's with a woman.
Starting point is 01:35:57 And I'm sorry to burst everybody's bubble. But I saw, what? No, I'm curious to see her. We're on vacation for two weeks. Yeah. Yeah. So the suspension will just come back with it. It makes it worse if you say something.
Starting point is 01:36:13 All right. So anyway. So anyway, but did you see the pictures of Cher at like the Grammys or something of that? Billboard Music Awards. She's 70. Yeah. And she's wearing the same outfits that she was wearing when she was 40 and inappropriate. Remember the battleship?
Starting point is 01:36:33 Remember the battleship video? Oh, yeah. She was wearing that outfit at 70. Oh, my. You got to be kidding. The same thing? Yeah. Okay, so here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Oh, wow. Here's the thing. And you're not supposed to say anything, right? Right. So I have one. For her, I have one. Put some clothes on. So, yes, she doesn't look 70, but she should, but at 40, that was inappropriate.
Starting point is 01:37:01 I mean, it was just stop it, stop it. I mean, they're all trying to show that off though, right? I know, but I don't need to see Shares 70-year-old nipple ring. You know, it's just like, all right, all right. Well, you could tuck that in, please. And you can tuck it in where your belt is. so just tuck it away. And what everybody was saying was, isn't she magnificent?
Starting point is 01:37:28 No, this is what you say. For 70, she is really in shape. I mean, that's an amazing 70-year-old woman. She's not hot. She's not magnificent. She's a grandmother, possibly a great-grandmother, jiggling her goods when everybody is like, oh, you're 70.
Starting point is 01:37:57 And you're probably not supposed to say that, I guess. Every sexual preference is okay unless you don't think a particular woman is beautiful. Every other sexual preference is completely embraced. But if you have a preference for a 25-year-old model, God, you're the devil. I mean, it's unbelievable. Yeah. Yeah. They can, you can fawn over a.
Starting point is 01:38:19 70-year-old woman or a 70-year-old man, but if you look at a model in victorious secrets and you look at her and go, wow. Oh, you want that thin, disgusting. He doesn't eat anything. Juctifying women. You're justifying you, bizarre. What the hell has happened? Lendbeck program.
Starting point is 01:38:44 AAA 727 back. Mercury is a global. All right, so what we've been showing you today is that there is, there is a pattern in the culture that shows that the left, the extreme left, and the extreme progressive is overplaying their hand. And that is because the comedians now are getting on and they are starting to make fun of the culture provided by the extreme left. and people are applauding and laughing if they weren't feeling the same way you know and they're not I mean these comedians are big in Los Angeles
Starting point is 01:39:30 in New York etc etc here's Louis C.K now listen there's a cut here in this about abortion so it's a little rough but listen to what he says I think abortion is exactly like taking a shit I think it is 100% the exact same thing
Starting point is 01:39:48 is taking a or it isn't or it is or it isn't. It's either taking a or it's killing a baby. It's only one of those two things. It's no other things. So if you didn't like hearing
Starting point is 01:40:13 that it's like taking a shit, you think it's killing a baby. That's the only other one you get to have. I mean, that's hard to believe. That's obvious. I mean, say what you will. That's a pro-life bit right there. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:29 No. Is there any other way to look at it? It's an honest. It's an honest way to frame that debate. Yes, it is an honest observation. You have to say that it's just a piece of crap that I'm pulling out of my body. Or it's a baby and I'm killing it. He's right.
Starting point is 01:40:52 One more. Listen to this. People hate abortion protesters. They're so shrill and awful. They think babies are being murdered. What is they supposed to be like, I don't know, it's not cool. I don't want to be a dick about it, though. I don't want to ruin their day as they murder several babies all the time. I don't think it's killing a baby. I don't. I mean, it is, it's a little bit, it's a little bit killing a baby. It's a little bit It's 100% Killing a baby
Starting point is 01:41:25 It is It's totally Killing a whole baby But I think that Women Should be allowed to kill babies That's what I think
Starting point is 01:41:38 They should be allowed to kill babies That's got to be your stance right Right It's got your chance And listen to them too That's weird So weird Do some shots
Starting point is 01:41:52 kill some babies. I mean, they all cheerity. I killed like four babies last night. It was retarded. So, there you go. So, but I mean, think about that. That's, it's framing the debate like that, which is the honest way to frame the debate.
Starting point is 01:42:08 It's either taking a, go to the bathroom, or it's murder. It's one of those two things. And it's a little bit of murder. It's a whole murder.
