Starting point is 00:00:02 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. You know, I have to tell you, I am so loving this whole period of the Democrats trying to figure out who's going to run against Donald Trump because they're just eating each other. And at the same time, I'm terrified. I feel a little like a cat in Australia. They're coming for you. No, seriously, cats, they're coming for you.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Yeah, it's not paranoid if you're right. Yes, exactly right. And in Australia, the cats are right. Yes. And I think if you are a progressive or somebody on the left, even just a regular Democrat, they're coming for you, man. Yesterday, Joe Biden was booed and heckled. He has, I'm sorry, Bernie Sanders was. And Joe Biden had to apologize for being historically accurate.
Starting point is 00:00:59 This is a world. gone mad. And we'll tell you the news in one minute. This is the Glenbeck program. Real estate agents, I trust.com. This is the place to go if you are frustrated because your real estate agent doesn't call you. They don't write anymore. It's like they don't even like me. And your house has been sitting. We have people who have gone through this over and over and over again. And I get letters. You know, and then we started with real estate agents I trust.com.
Starting point is 00:01:34 and we sold our house in two weeks. It'd been a year and a half and nothing and then two weeks. You have to have the right agent, the agent with a long track record of performance, the agent that is an expert in your neighborhood, and one that you trust. They do business like you do. They just get the job done, and it's a fair and honest deal for everybody involved.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Real estate agents, I trust.com. That's real estate agents. I trust.com. You want to buy or sell a home? Go there now. Real estate agents I trust.com. Where do we start? President Trump, signing with AOC and saying the VA is doing, you know, it's doing great.
Starting point is 00:02:21 The scaffolding workers that were smoking at Notre Dame. Didn't you some crazy right-wing pundit and say that it may have started by a cigarette? Did you hear that? Did you hear this guy? He was sure it was going to be a cigarette. And you know what else? If they tell you it wasn't a cigarette, that means they're lying about it.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Wait a minute. They're hiding it. It's a pro-tabat. It was Muslim smoking. Share thinks that Bernie Sanders has gone too far. Share. Hmm. Has, and now Joe Biden has to express his regret to Anita Hill,
Starting point is 00:03:02 but is, I'm sorry, is not acceptable. It's not enough. The revisionist history of this Anita Hill situation, has got to stop. That one is incredibly frustrating. May I ask Sarah in the control room, do we have the audio of Michelle Obama on the campaign trail? Barack knows. We've got to change our history because that's what's happening right now.
Starting point is 00:03:27 We're changing our history. It's being changed. The Anita Hill thing is a great example of it. It really is. I mean, basically when you step back from it, what you're finding him is, is just a fundamental change in policy, a fundamental transformation. Yeah. The change of our history.
Starting point is 00:03:51 But it's really a change in policy from the Democrat Party of when Clarence Thomas is getting tossed around in the media. And now, but they ended on, okay, look, we have no evidence that this happened. There's no evidence that any of this bad stuff happened. It's someone in a massive political moment trying to, trying to, you know, trying to get on the Supreme Court. And someone comes up with an accusation that you can't prove at all. There's not, there's no evidence of it. So obviously, Clarence Thomas is still going to make it to the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:04:25 That's where they were. And you know, obviously, after just going through Kavanaugh, it is a complete change of opinion. They now are saying you are, you are guilty until proven innocent. And there's, of course, no way with a claim like this or the claim like Kavanaugh that you could ever prove someone innocent. Did Clarence Thomas sexually harassed people around him? Well, no, I don't think he did. There's no evidence that he did.
Starting point is 00:04:49 There's a couple of accuses. There's, I mean, really one major accusation. And now it's so much we've reversed this dynamic to guilty and to prove an innocent that Joe Biden is now forced to call Anita Hill and apologize for something he didn't sexually harass her. Maybe some other women, but not, not Anita Hill, because he was on a committee that I guess they believed that they treated her badly in her unproven claim. So again, like every law suit or every criminal court proceeding, you would have one side
Starting point is 00:05:31 give their argument and then the other side give their argument. It's every single time. That's how our system works. But now they want that to be tossed out. they want that to be just, you know, excised from America. Because now it's just, did she make the accusation? Yes, then he's guilty. And now Biden has to go through this ridiculous charade where he's calling a woman that he did nothing wrong to.
Starting point is 00:05:55 And he has to act as if he did do something wrong and apologize for something that he didn't do. And that's not even enough. She now has to say, she's now saying that she wasn't more. She said, I can't be satisfied by him just simply saying, I'm sorry for what happened to you. The focus on apology to me is one thing, but he needs to give an apology to all the other women and to the American public because we know how deeply disappointed Americans around the country were about what they saw. And not just women. There are women and men who have just really lost confidence in our government to respond to the problem of gender violence.
Starting point is 00:06:30 This is insanity. Didn't they accuse Clarence Thomas of making inappropriate jokes at work? Largely that was the accusation. Yes. That's all it was. It wasn't gender violence. Gender violence. These terms are, they don't mean what these people think they mean. And this is of course. You'll keep using that word. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:48 It is essentially Princess Bride at this point. And it's postmodernism, right? They are legitimately just redefining these words. I am, I've been, I keep feeling this strongly. And I don't think I've ever said this on the air, but I think it almost every day. Please, you need to keep a journal. And I mean that with us, too. We need to keep a journal.
Starting point is 00:07:13 We need to start writing down the things that are being changed and how they're being changed because they're all being erased. They're just being erased. I'm doing a podcast today with a writer. She's a, you know, she's a lefty, I guess, or, you know, kind of. I think she would say that she's from the left for sure. Okay. And she's written for Playboy and everything else. She's a very different, very different. She's a brilliant writer.
Starting point is 00:07:45 But she's just very open and honest. And so she's seeing stuff. She's like, I don't, no, wait a minute. I don't agree with that. Well, now she's completely, and I mean it, being erased. All of her articles and everything that she's ever written is just being taken down. They're just getting rid of it. They're erasing her from the internet.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And it's because she's essentially come. out on a few things. On a few things. And say, hey, you know, maybe boys and girls are different. Right. Hey, you know, maybe these things that you guys are, this new brand of the left is a little insane. And you know what? Let's be honest about it.
Starting point is 00:08:26 What they're saying isn't true. You can't do that. You can't have one step out of the chosen path because as, this is like crusade level religious sort of handling of these. This is burning of books. They're just deleting them. When everything is digital, there's no bonfire. But that is exactly what's happening.
Starting point is 00:08:49 They are burning books. And this new left is a religion. It is. It is. You step one. I mean, you even talked about this with Van Freaking Jones. Van Jones, a man who was literally for part of his life, a communist. A communist.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Not a socialist kids. A communist. A radical revolutionary communist by his own telling. He was in the Obama administration as what at the time was thought of like the real left fringe of the Obama administration. A guy who said green is the new red. Yes. So he understood what the green movement was. He would understand the Green New Deal.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yes. Exactly for what I would. And I think he probably still would agree with it. I bet he still support it. I think he still is supported. He's on the outs. Yes. Because he did what?
Starting point is 00:09:43 Talk to Donald Trump about a left-wing priority criminal justice reform. And by the way, something that the Trump administration agreed with and was passed in bipartisan fashion. But because he would talk to the Trump administration about a left-wing priority, he's been, he's now being tossed to the side of the left. You have to be in lock-freaking step. You know, I was talking about this with a. Kamala Harris, who is running for president, of course,
Starting point is 00:10:12 and a top-tier candidate. I didn't think you were on the phone with her, like pillow talk. Yeah, no, I just wanted to see what she was up to. But tell me, can Kamala Harris survive the Democratic primary saying things like this? This is from her communications director. Kamala's support for Israel is central to who she is. Nope. She is firm in her belief that Israel has a right to exist.
Starting point is 00:10:37 and defend itself, No. Including against rocket attacks from Gaza. Nope. That is, if that, she needs to, like, she needs to excise that from the internet. If anyone gets word that she thinks that Israel, because saying that Israel can defend itself against rocket attacks is one thing, and that's way too far for the Democratic Party today.
Starting point is 00:10:59 But to go that step further and say that they are responding as if they were not the ones who started all this, as if they were not the ones, targeting innocent Palestinians and that's the reason these poor people in Gaza are firing rockets and Bernie Sanders. The government is a racist government.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yes, that's the acceptable position. What? Israel is run by a bunch of racists and they're torturing innocent Palestinians all the time. That's the only acceptable position on the left right now. And I don't know that she can survive things like that.
Starting point is 00:11:30 She will get criticized for saying that people can't defend themselves against rockets. That is how critical. crazy this party is. So here's the thing. I want to go back to keeping a journal. Here's the thing. Look at how much history we have lost over the last hundred years. They changed it slowly. Okay. They changed it slowly. But they had to because textbooks were out. And so people were watching textbooks. It was printed. You'd bring the book home. Mom and Dad might go through it. You know,
Starting point is 00:12:01 what is this? So you had to slowly do things. Well, they're not anymore. There are no text books anymore. Now you just change them overnight and we are losing new history. History is being changed in real time. You have to write down what actually is happening and keep a journal. And don't necessarily tell everybody. Just keep a journal for what is happening right now. because at some point our kids won't have any idea of the truth. They will not have any idea of what this country was, how it really happened, who were the good guys, who were the bad guys, who did what? Because they're erasing all of it. They're changing our history, as Michelle Obama said.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Barack knows we have to change our history. Well, that's exactly what's happening. but it is happening at a very rapid pace. People need clay pots, clay jars. Do you remember me saying that 15 years ago? Sure. We have to preserve our history as people preserved histories in ancient days with the Dead Sea Scrolls, by putting him in caves in a clay pot.
Starting point is 00:13:27 We have to preserve our history. It is being systematically erased. And I don't mean just the history of the founding of our country or any of it. I mean the history that's happening right now. And the history that's happening right now, it is no longer you're a problem if you're a conservative or a Christian. You are now a problem on the left if you disagree and fall out of line at all. this is becoming a fascistic party. And, you know, you know what a fascist is.
Starting point is 00:14:09 It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican or an independent. You could be a fascist. If you believe it's my way or the highway, if you believe that people don't have a right to their opinion, don't have a right to their own life. Listen to this. We are, we have been, I have been, saying that you have a right to me.
Starting point is 00:14:29 marriage? You have a right to marriage. Government has no place. I was there before Hillary and Barack and everybody else. There's no place for the government in your marriage ceremony. Though I will say that that is not their position. Their position is... No, I know, I know. It's different than that. But their position is you must participate. You must participate. In fact, I want to take a quick break. Come back in a minute. I want to share something with you that I was not planning on sharing, but I think this is really important in one minute. First, let me tell you about American finance. American finance is great. I did, I dealt with them when I bought my last house, the one I'm living in currently. And one thing I really loved about American financing and
Starting point is 00:15:14 dealing with them over, you know, a couple of months that I was looking for this mortgage and trying to figure things out. Because I went to probably 10 different companies just to kind of check them out. And they were the one that was not pushing for me. me to take their loan. They are not, they're not, they don't get kickbacks from the bank. They don't get all these, these bonuses. They're not chasing some secret reward from a particular, to give you a particular mortgage. They're not trying to like book a trip based on your mortgage. They're trying to get you the best deal. So they actually want to tell me, I went to check with them on the last two options. One was American financing and another was through a different bank. And they actually
Starting point is 00:15:52 recommended, I went with the other bank. They actually said, you know what, for what you're asking for, they didn't say this, but I got the sense that they thought it was completely insane. But what I was asking for, this was a better deal for me. And that's the thing. They're not motivated. They're getting paid anyway. They're salary-based. So that's not what they're concerned about.
Starting point is 00:16:10 We all know that the rates are very low right now and ahead of the spring home buying a competition that's going on. American financing has this great digital mortgage program. You can apply online and get your pre-qualification letter instantly. Okay, it's American financing. Call them now. American Financing at 800906 2440 or Americanfinancing.net. We break for 10 seconds, station ID. American Financing Corporation, NMLS-182334, www.
Starting point is 00:16:34 www.mLS Consumer Access.org. American Financing Corporation. I'm going to say it again. Then we started down American. American fighters. Okay. we all know the story of Sodom and Gamora, right? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Okay. And the angels come and they're like, we just got to try to, we just got to try and time for one person. Can you show me one? All right. Mm-hmm. So they're walking down the street and Lott sees them.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Now I'm going to just, I want to give you the story, and I want you to listen. Two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lott was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. My lords.
Starting point is 00:17:22 please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning. No, they answered, we'll spend the night in the square. But he insisted so strongly that they did go with him and entered his house. He prepared a meal for them baking bread without yeast and they ate. But before they had gone to bed, all of the men from every part of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded Lott's house. They called to Lott.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Where are the men that came to you tonight? Bring them out so we can have sex with them. Okay, so here's the demand of the radical revolution, sexual revolution, okay? Bring him out. Lott went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, no, my friends, don't do this thing. Yeah, this is a serious Me Too violation. That's what we're talking about right here. Look, I have, and this is the part of this story I've never understood.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I'm like, wait a minute, Lott, what are you doing? Okay, don't do this wicked thing. look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you and you can do what you like with them, but don't do anything to these men. They have come under my protection and under my roof. You're like, you know, daughters must be like, dad, what do? I told you to clean your room.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Did I not say clean your room? They're teenagers. I'm sick to death of them. Okay, so I never understood that. Let me phrase this with an offer to compromise. we'll find some middle ground. Okay? This is not good for me.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I don't want to do this, but let's just compromise here. Okay? What happens? Get out of our way, they replied. This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play judge talking to lot. Who are you to judge us?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Get the hell out of our way. The false claim. You're judging me. will treat you worse than them. They kept bringing pressure on Lott and moved forward to break down the door, but the men inside reached out and pulled Lott back into the house and shut the door. So they have the meanness, the threats, the coercion. You must participate.
Starting point is 00:19:35 You must participate. It's not about sex. It's about you are not going to disagree with us. You're not going to judge us. There is no compromise. we don't care about your daughters. You are not telling us what to do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Now, this story, strangely, is also found in judges, but not about Sodom and Gamora. Judges 19, you're welcome at my house, the old man said. Let me supply whatever you need. Only don't spend the night in the square. So we took him out to the house and fed his don'ties. after they washed their feet they had something to eat and drink. Basically the same story. While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded their house,
Starting point is 00:20:25 pounding on the door. They shouted at the old man who owned the house. Bring out the man who came to your house so we can know him, have sex with him. Again, the demand of the sexual revolution. The owner of the house went outside and said, no, my friends, don't be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don't do this outrageous thing. Here's my virgin daughter and my concubine. I'll bring them out to you now.
Starting point is 00:20:47 You can do whatever you want with him as you wish, but don't do this outrageous thing to this man. Again, an offer to compromise. But the men would not listen to him. They took the daughter. They raped her, the meanness, the threats, the coercive response. Again, what is this about? Why is this story in the Bible two separate times about two different scenarios, except it ends the same way. Why? I'll explain next.
Starting point is 00:21:21 You're listening to Glenn Beck. Right? Right? Still not a good idea to... I mean, it's not something you should do as a father. I'm just going to point that out. I just thought that was... Not a good maneuver. If you're thinking about that... I can never figure that out. Okay, anyway, let me tell you about X-chair. We're both sitting in X-chairs right now. We are. They are. They are. They are. I could, I would like my car to have an X-chair in it. I love your idea of the movie theater situation. Now, seriously. I mean, you gotta imagine installing, like, uh, those big, uh, those big, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:48 recliners are very expensive for these movie theaters. You could save a ton of money, put X-chair basics all over these theaters. People can roll around if they want to. Especially if you, well, I mean, I don't want it to be like a roller ball. I think that could be fun, though. I'm just thinking of that as a potential possibility. You get fired up from watching end game, and you just roll in and I do a little roller derby with your ex-chairs.
Starting point is 00:22:07 That's not the recommended use of an X-chair, however. I wanted motorized, like one of those fat chairs, not because I'm in a wheelchair, but because I'm too fat and lazy to walk around. Imagine this being, you'd be like, yeah, You're too fat and lazy to get close to the microphone, I'm noticing, too. Yeah, I know. It'd be great. Anyway, X-Chair.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Great chair. Try it out. 30-day money-back guarantee. They have one for all price ranges. It's an X-Chair at X-Beck.com. Great office chair. It's more of a recliner than anything else. 8444-4-X-chair.

Starting point is 00:23:44 I want to go over. We were talking about how the left is becoming fast. And they are basically burning books. They're deleting people. They're silencing voices. They're running them out of the square. Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders was booed yesterday because he wasn't left enough. Bernie Sanders wasn't left enough. It is a, it's a mob. And Democrats better wake up to what you're heading towards. And I wanted to share something from the Bible. And whenever there's a story that repeats itself, it's usually pretty important. God's saying, you know, there's something here that you guys should pick up on. Now, I don't care if you believe in the Bible is just a good collection of stories, or if you believe it actually happened. It doesn't matter in this case. There are two stories of history in two different places in this book that is trying to teach us something.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Now, listen to this. This is Sodom and Gomorrah. Two angels arrive at Sodom in the evening. Lott was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them, bowed down. down to the ground, my lords, please turn aside to your servant's house. You can wash your feet and spend the night and they say, no, no, no, we'll spend the night in the town square. But he insisted so strongly that they went with him and entered the house. He prepared a meal for them and they
Starting point is 00:25:01 ate. But before going to bed, all of the men from every part of the city of Sodom, both young and old, surrounded the house. They called to Lot. Where are the men who came to you last night? Bring them out so we can have sex with them. This is the demand of the public. square. We're going to, this is, this is what we do. We're going to have sex with them. Lot inside, walked out, closed the door behind him and said, no, no, no, my friends, don't do this. Don't please don't. And then he makes this compromise. He tries to placate the men by doing something that is absolutely insane. There's a reason for this. There's a reason this is in the story. You know what? I tell you what, I have two daughters. They've, they're both virgins. They never,
Starting point is 00:25:48 slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you. You can do what you like with them. What? What? Okay. But then don't do anything to these men for they come under my roof. So he offers a middle ground, one that really is not a good compromise, but he offers a compromise. They say, get out of our way. Then they accuse him. Who are you to judge us? You're not going to judge us. Are you seeing any parallels here? then that's the false claim they claim that he's the bad guy not them we'll treat you worse than them they start to try to break down the door the angels go and they pull a lot back into the door and they block the door and shut the door so they're mean they're threatening uh they will kill him they'll kill him now if you don't participate you're dead now let me give you the levite uh visit now
Starting point is 00:26:45 this is in judges 19 it's strange It's exactly the same story. You're welcome to my house, the old man said. Let me supply whatever you need. Only don't spend the night in the public square. Hmm. So he took him to his house, fed his donkeys after they washed their feet. They had something to eat and drink.
Starting point is 00:27:03 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men in the city surrounded the house pounding on the door. They shouted to the old man who owned the house, bring out the man who came to the house so we can have sex with him. Same demand. The owner of the house outside went out and said, my friend, Don't be so vile. This man is my guest. Don't do this thing. Please.
Starting point is 00:27:22 I have a virgin daughter and a concubine. I'll send them out. Do whatever you want with them. Again, what? Why would you do that? I'll bring them out to you. Now you can use them for whatever you wish. But for this man, please do not do this.
Starting point is 00:27:42 So an offer to compromise, they don't want it. But the men would not. listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them and they raped her and abused her throughout the night. At dawn they let her go. So the meanness and the coercive response.
Starting point is 00:28:00 So what are these stories about? I contend, if you look at this, public square, quick, get into your house. Your house is your castle. Everything else inside is insane. Just get into your house. But then
Starting point is 00:28:16 they come to your house. They make false claims about you. You have to participate. You say, no, no, no, I tell you what, I'll do this, though. I'll do this. And you don't want to do this, but you're willing to do this just for peace. So you can be left alone. They threaten you.
Starting point is 00:28:36 They take actions to destroy you. And in the end, you got no place to go. You have to escape. The militant left is not about. common sense. It's not about living side by side. This is fascistic. If you don't do in the public square what they tell you to do, they will come to your house and they will destroy you. And if you offer some compromise, it's not good enough. It's a failure to participate. Let me give you some headlines. ACLU, you know these stories. ACLU, 70-year-old Christian,
Starting point is 00:29:20 flower shop owner is sued for, quote, refusing to participate in gay wedding. Christian Flores can lose her personal assets for refusing to participate in a gay wedding due to relationship with Jesus. Next one, Oregon Christian Bakers pay $135,000 or face potential lien on their home for refusing to participate in same-sex wedding. Couple find for refusing to hope. same-sex wedding on their farm. New Mexico court, Christian photographer, refusing to participate in gay wedding. This is all about refusing to participate. This is not about, hey, let's just live and you do your thing, I'll do my thing.
Starting point is 00:30:10 No, you must participate in it. New Jersey, North Carolina magistrate refuses to perform same-sex marriage because of religious beliefs. Federal lawsuit to be filed against a clerk, Katie Lang, because she refuses to participate. Even KD. Lang is getting beat up on this. That's amazing. No, no.
Starting point is 00:30:34 I mean, she's one of the trailblazers. K.T. Not KD. It's a Katie. Katie. I mean, this is different. This is so clear. So clear.
Starting point is 00:30:45 This is fascism in the public square. and they if you go ahead go ahead Joe Biden Joe Biden you just apologized they didn't accept it they didn't accept it never accept it right do they no they don't I don't know why you do it if they never accept it they didn't accept the apology and the compromise no no no you now have to go and join them on a campaign okay and if he refuses to participate he will be destroyed That's what's happening now. This is fascism. This is fascism.
Starting point is 00:31:26 This isn't like fascism. This is fascism. And the Democrats had better wake up. You better wake up. Because, I mean, listen, this is the definition of fascism, you know, one of many. But it is, they call it a form of radical right wing, which, again, I would. So ridiculous. Right wing is, we've gone over this a million times.
Starting point is 00:31:48 It is not a right wing. phenomenon at all only in the European scale, which means nothing to us. I mean, it's not a conservative movement by any means. But it's characterized by authoritarian ultra-nationalism. If think of the nation as, in this particular case, the slew of left-wing values you must hold, right? Like, you must be in the camp and walk the line on every single issue. You must participate. In this particular case.
Starting point is 00:32:16 You must participate. A forcible suppression of opposition. Completely there. Strong regimentation of society and the economy. But, I mean, regimentation of the society. And honestly, the economy as well. Like, you bring up all these examples of photographers and bakers and everything. That is the people not having any economic freedom.
Starting point is 00:32:35 You know, when AOC threatened the banks and said, you know, maybe we're going to start charging you with crimes against the, you know, the climate. because you're making loans to oil companies. You'll notice her first thing was, didn't you give loans to these prison companies, these private prisons? Well, yes, he said, we used to. Why did they stop doing it? Because they folded to pressure
Starting point is 00:33:06 because they knew they were going to come under scrutiny and they were going to come under boycotts and everything else. So they folded under pressure. there's one big difference here though and you know this is America you're talking about and this says it came to prominence in early 20th century Europe so this isn't Europe it's not the early 20th century
Starting point is 00:33:25 your entire your entire idea is ridiculous right out the window right out the window I don't know how people are not seeing it's really interesting because I was talking about this earlier this week that we used to hear all the time you need to be tolerant we need to be tolerant and everybody wants to be tolerant I think I think almost everybody
Starting point is 00:33:42 wants to be tolerant of other people ideas and lifestyle and whatever. Live and let live. But that's never been the goal. The goal is to accept, embrace, promote, and as you just said, participate now. And suppress anyone who doesn't.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah. You know, it's the same thing with race. Kick you out of the public square if you won't do it. We've been saying this with Martin Luther King. You know, color, you know, content of character, not color of skin is no longer the goal. The goal is, it's not what they're trying to accomplish anymore. It's the other. It's the opposite.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah. And it has now become, it's not color blindness. It's all color all the time. That's all you should see. It's early Malcolm X. It's early Malcolm X. They have adopted the early Malcolm X of kill them, kill them,
Starting point is 00:34:32 my way or the highway. They're all bad. And these assassinations often happen with the businesses and happen with reputation. They're not always, you know, You're assassinating. You are absolutely killing people's reputations. Yeah. You are killing their careers. You're killing their ability to make money. You're killing their voice. You're killing their spirit. You're killing everything about them. Oh, yeah, you can live. Just live behind this wall. This digital ghetto wall. Yeah. I mean, Clarence Thomas called it a high-tech lynching, right? I mean, this is. Here's what's still happening. Here's what's really amazing. We are on the winning side. How many people have come through our doors? I have an interview today with somebody. And boy, Pat, you should have seen.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I'm doing a podcast with Mike Lee. I asked him about Judge Roberts. Have you ever seen Mike Lee like that? You know, Mike Lee on a getting fired up scale of one to ten, like his 10 is everyone else's two. You know what I mean? Like that's Mike Lee. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:34 He was noticeably. That's the one time in that only entire hour and a half interview where he just, he sat up in his chair, totally different tone. He was fired up. He was. Pissed. Wait until you hear this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 So anyway, I'm doing an interview today for another podcast with somebody from the left. I just did one. I did one, what, last week as well with these intellectual dark web scholars that are just, they're brilliant guys. They don't agree with me. And yet they're finding themselves saying, I'm trying that one of them said, yes, the last week. I'm trying to find something I disagree with you on. They are, we are so in life.
Starting point is 00:36:14 step now because we agree to disagree. We agree to go, yeah, well, I don't care. I mean, that's your opinion. My opinion is this, but we shouldn't kill each other over it. We're on the winning side. It just doesn't feel like it yet, but I'm telling you, history will write this course. If we aren't careful, it'll take 70 years to write it and millions dead in between. but we are on the right side, and you can see it because of the people on the left that are waking up, that are reaching out going, I don't have a home.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I don't have a home. I mean, I'm not for this. These guys are spooking the hell out of me. All right. I know, Pat, you talked about this with Arthur Brooks as well. When he was on your show, what was it last week, a couple weeks ago? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:03 And, I mean, there's that one, and also Glenn has a podcast with Arthur Brooks. You know, he's been somebody who's talked about that a lot, which is like you can actually, we need to be able. able to disagree better. And if we can figure out how to do that with the people who are sensible that generally come from left-wing positions, that is a winning, that is how you can win long-term. I'm telling you this is the sensible people are coming out of the woodwork. They really are. They really are. I can't tell you what I participated in yesterday. But I was in a conversation yesterday with some, was that the mashed potato eating contest?
Starting point is 00:37:36 But I was, I was in a couple of conversations yesterday that were mind-blowing. Things that I actually wrote in my journal last night, if this comes to fruition, it will be history changing and history making. First time in history of things that are happening. And it's good stuff. It's good stuff. All right. Our sponsor, the staff hour is life lock.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Thank you very much, Pat. By the way, did you see my picks? I did. Yeah. I did. I'm just saying. You're going to review your NFL draft picks in a couple hours, I think, hour three. there was some interesting developments on the Glen Beck
Starting point is 00:38:14 Yeah, you made fun of me yesterday. We did. Yeah, we did. And I, there was some things. Looks like they were listening to me. I will say there was one thing that you were able to accomplish that no other draft analyst was able to accomplish in a good way. Literally, you're the only person I heard do this.

Starting point is 00:39:23 Now, Thomas Friedman is, I don't know if you know this, but he's not a Donald Trump supporter, and he's a guy who's wrong on almost everything. So it's making me question. But he said, with Wolf Blitzer and Wolf was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I might have to shave after this. He said, you're telling me we need a border wall? Thomas Friedman went down to the border and saw what was going on. It's like, we've got to have a border wall.
Starting point is 00:39:56 Share is now starting to sound like a conservative. What the hell has happened? I'm telling you it's a wormhole. We all slipped through a wormhole and we're not on a different earth. The fusion of energy. Entertainment and Enlightenment. This is the Glembeck program. Though America, Bernie Sanders was booed and heckled by women of color because he's not far enough.
Starting point is 00:40:31 We have Joe Biden apologizing to Anita Hill. For what? Well, because he questioned her. But it wasn't even about his questioning. It was that he allowed others to speak freely to her and ask, questions. And that's Anita Hill doesn't accept. It's not enough. Never enough.

Starting point is 00:42:48 here's Thomas Friedman a guy who I have disagreed with my entire life and he just went down to the border. And then he goes on CNN. What would you expect Thomas Friedman to say on CNN about a border wall? Well, it definitely wasn't this. Listen, I'm as radically pro-immigration as they come. But it's pretty clear to me that unless we can assure a significant number of Americans that we can control our border, we're never going to have the proper immigration flow I think we need, we desire, and that we have actually a moral responsibility given our history. We're never, as a nation of immigrants and a refuge for people fleeing persecution. I think the only way is a compromise on this.
Starting point is 00:43:34 The tragedy, and that's why my column was said Trump is wasting this crisis. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste. We have a president. Actually, when you think about it, Wolf, he has the chops with his base. If he were to sit down, call Nancy Pelosi up, say, we're going up to Camp David, you bring your immigration team. We'll bring mine. I'll leave Stephen Miller at home.
Starting point is 00:43:54 And we will actually sort out a compromise. here where because Democrats were ready to fund more border security but at the same time we're going to create a legal pathway for people here we're going to limit the number of ICE arrests and we're going to have a rational inflow of people of the kind of people that are both high energy high IQ that can actually drive our country forward we need a compromise when you say though you want a high wall with a big gate yes a smart gate but a high wall that's going to sound to a lot of folks out there that's what Donald Trump was well I think you've got to control the border when you have an increase of
Starting point is 00:44:28 illegal apprehensions of illegal entries by 374% since October, obviously you've got a situation where the border security is not sufficient and that's going to drive people who we should want to be pro-immigration against immigration. Democrats have been willing to fund more border security.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Okay? I'm for a high wall with a big gate, a compassionate, a smart gate so we can keep immigration going but you're not going to do that Wolf, if people think people can just walk into this country, they're not going to support the immigration that we need. There you go. Welcome to the club, Thomas Friedman. That's exactly what we've been saying. That's what Donald Trump has said. It's going to be a big, beautiful wall with a big, beautiful door in it. But there's going to be a wall. There has to be a wall. There has to be security on the border.
Starting point is 00:45:24 and we have been painted as people who are, you know, anti-Mexican, anti-immigrant, we're not. There are those people. Most of us on the right are not those people. And by digging your heels into the ground, when you've got a crisis like this, if the media was exposing this crisis as they should, Donald Trump would be building that wall today because Democrats would be saying, look, we got it. We got to do something. He actually went there and saw it for himself.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Right. And realized, you know, again, 374% since October. There's just no question. What happened in October? What happened in October? It was Halloween. Yeah, yeah. Wasn't there a big controversy about the border around October when everybody was
Starting point is 00:46:19 saying it's a crisis? No, it's not a crisis. oh, we'll just let people come in and don't keep people in cages. Wasn't that around that time? I don't remember that at all. Yeah, I don't remember that at all. I think you're thinking of the Obama administration. Oh, is that what it was going on?
Starting point is 00:46:31 Is that what it was? It is amazing. There has to be a certain amount of people, and there's seemingly few that will admit when something, when new evidence comes to light that their previous position was wrong. I mean, you get Friedman some credit here. I would not have called him as one of the people who would do that. But it is important because you're right.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Like these things get done. done in government because both sides are like, okay, yeah, this actually is a problem. I mean, you look and think of what happened after 9-11, right? That's what happens, right? People are like, okay, look, we could have had a political debate about how Muslims are being targeted and unfairly accused of terrorism, but let's just, let's make sure we're secure. You know, there's those little debates that are constant. And then when a big event comes in and people forget about those.
Starting point is 00:47:21 things. Often to the negative. A lot of times people will forget their principles in a moment. Like when we see this with guns, right? Like every time there's a mass shooting, everyone, you know, there's half of the country saying, okay, we got to take their guns away because this one person who we all reggae is evil and should go to prison did something terrible with them. So it can be bad. I mean, never let a crisis go to waste is not a good instinct. No, it's not. It's not. But this is just recognizing, okay, the crisis is there. We're not trying to implement some crazy restrictive unconstitutional policy. We're saying, we have a border we have a border issue we can't control it with the resources that we have or
Starting point is 00:47:55 really i don't think any of resources so we need to be able to to block as many of these people as possible i think this is the way the country might have felt around 1850 where it wasn't clear that you know it's clear that things weren't working but there was still a little bit of hope that the two parties the democrats and the whigs would be able to work things out on slavery and then it came to a point with Sumner standing up and going neither of you guys are serious the Democrats nor the wigs you're not serious you're not doing anything about this and some of us are actually seeing this as a real crisis and we're we're out we're out and that's when a third party is born and I I'm telling you I think a third party is becoming more and more
Starting point is 00:48:51 of a of a clear answer but it will happen in I think it will happen with members who are on both sides right now and it's not going to be some mamby pamby third party remember the Republicans were revolutionary they weren't like we're all going to get along because the wigs and the Democrats are always fighting so there's no labels we're all going to get along no that was not their position that was not the position there is no compromise on this this, this is wrong. Slavery is wrong. And what's the issue? That's where they went. What's the, because I mean, I will say, I understand what you're saying there. And I know you have the historical knowledge to back it up. It has happened in the United States.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Does not feel like a moment for that. Does people are so in their own. So many people think of these things as teams. It's such a binary situation right now. What is the issue that a third party can break off with Democrat support and be, to unify them like that in a real moral purpose. I think right now the Democrats are not standing up because their choice, their choice is Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:50:03 And I mean their vocal choice. I think that there is more and more hidden democratic support for Donald Trump than anybody thinks. I could be wrong. And I hate to, I mean, happened last time. Happened 2016 for sure. I don't want to talk him up because whenever I talk people up,
Starting point is 00:50:19 it's a kiss of death. So he's horrible and you should never vote for him. And I'm definitely never going to vote for him. Now I got that out of my system so he can win. So here's the thing. I think that there is a lot of people that just don't want to have their hat taken from them. They don't want to be called racist bigots. They just want to get along.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And they're so sick of it. But they also see the handwriting on the wall. They see what's happening. You don't have to be a genius to see, wait a minute. These people are being ostracized and they used to be on my side. I kind of agree with them. And when you talk to the people of the intellectual dark web, they're all saying this. And you're seeing people say, I can't believe.
Starting point is 00:51:15 I'm standing with conservatives. I would have never guessed that. Just two years ago, I would have said, no way. But the conservative constitutional conservative, the constitutional conservative position is the winning position. It is the, I'm not a crazy radical that wants to throw all laws out. I don't want, you know, just chaos on the street. I'm somebody who believes in government, and I believe in a limited government, but there are some things that have to change.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And this is not working as we're doing it. And so I don't hate my neighbor. I don't want to hate my neighbor. I don't hate straight people. I don't hate gay people. I don't hate white people. I don't hate black people. I'm tired to be put in a group.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Yeah. I think if there is one issue that would unify people like that, And you've seen it in a lot of these podcasts that you've done. There's a great series of podcasts coming on. And you can binge through a ton of them as well. They're all available at glenbeck.com and on YouTube and everywhere else. But the idea of this pushback against political correctness, I think, is one of those things that unifies people. We saw this with Kavanaugh, where like, okay, he's being accused of these terrible things.
Starting point is 00:52:44 A lot of people who were even on the left said, wait a minute, I've got a son. I'm not at all comfortable with this standard that any woman from 30 years in his past can ruin his life in the future. That's not an issue that's Democrat or Republican. Any mother would feel that. And it happened. I mean, people really did say the same thing with, you know, when it comes to some of the gender issues, some of the, those issues where we all understand and we've always understood that X, Y, and Z is true. and you're trying to come in here and not only say that X, Y, and Z aren't true, but you're saying I'm evil if I think the old way was correct.
Starting point is 00:53:25 And that is a big, that's a big step for people to take. And it's not, it's obviously not the right way to go. When conservative means, I want to conserve and preserve logic, truth, reason, truth, discussion. I mean, that's when America becomes conservative. And if we were better at messaging, that's what we'd be saying a conservative is right now. A conservative is to say, I preserve the Constitution of the United States and I preserve the bill of rights. I am trying to conserve science and reason and measurement and truth and history.
Starting point is 00:54:11 We're not changing our history. We're not changing our language. We have problems and we can solve them. But by abandoning all reason, I don't know of a single person that says, yeah, you know a seven-year-old kid, they should have a sex change. They should start giving a seven-year-old kid hormones. That's insanity. That is, that is Mangala experimentation on children. There's no, there's no data to back any of that stuff up.
Starting point is 00:54:43 You don't know what that's going to do. you're experimenting on children. If that makes me a conservative to say, wait a minute, I want to wait a minute, I want to wait for data. I want to see. You can't just do that to children and give it a whirl. If that's what it means to be a conservative, I think we're in the majority. All right. Today is a day.
Starting point is 00:55:11 You have 19 chances to win a free gun. And we're giving them away with the USCA. USCA, United States Concealed Carry Association, they are the top provider for self-defense education, training, legal protection. Their membership is really, really great. They want to introduce themselves to you, but they figure the best way to do it is to give you a chance to win a brand new handgun. So if you'd like to win, now these are, I don't know if these are weapons of war, Stu. Are these weapons of war? I'd hate to be giving away weapons of war.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Oh, my gosh. Design to kill? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, you don't want to miss out on winning this handgun. You have 19 chances. If you haven't already, I mean, if you have, you might want to do it again. If you haven't already registered to win, you have 19 chances to win. All you have to do is text the word BECK to 8722-87-2-2-2.
Starting point is 00:56:06 They're giving it away. Today is the cutoff. I think they're giving them away, you know, probably tomorrow. So text the word back to 8-7-2-2-2 and lock in your. You're 19 chances to win a brand new gun from the USCA. We pause for 10 seconds. Station ID. So where are we headed?
Starting point is 00:56:37 And have you noticed how fast things are changing now? Okay. It's not just you. Things are changing rapidly. And there's a reason for that. And on next Wednesday, we are going to show you the reason, because we're going to show you the plan. This is one of the most amazing discoveries we have made. And you know that I have made a lot of what people would call predictions.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Crazy predictions. They're not predictions. I just read a lot. I study history. I look for patterns. I connect dots. It's analysis. It's not prediction.
Starting point is 00:57:22 And if you take people at their word, when people tell you something, crazy. I'm going to do this. They usually do it. I'm going to kill you. Well, I take that one seriously. I'm going to start a caliphate. I take you seriously. And then I look at the dots and the connections and the patterns of history and see, does this person have a chance to cobble together a caliphate? Yeah. Yeah, they do. The conditions are right. So then I go on the air and say, they're going to try to start a caliphate. And they do.
Starting point is 00:58:04 We found a document in our research on socialism. We're writing a book right now on socialism. And we're also preparing all of these shows for fall, this coming fall, on socialism. And as we're doing our research, Jason, our head researcher, he comes in and he's just white. And he's like, have you ever heard of this? And I'm like, no. He's like, this is the craziest thing I've ever read, Glenn. He said, it is the plan of what's happening today.
Starting point is 00:58:37 And I start reading it. I'm like, oh, my gosh. This is. This is. Where did you get this? He said it was written in, I think, 1950 or 51 by the communist historian in Czechoslovakia. And it's really an evil book of how we did it. because you have to remember the Soviets were kept by a treaty that we signed at the end of World War II.
Starting point is 00:59:05 They couldn't just march into Czechoslovakia and Poland and all those things. They just couldn't do it. They weren't allowed to take it over. So the communists wanted to spread communism throughout the world. How do we get these countries to fall? Well, their first attempt was Czechoslovakia. And Czechoslovakia was this amazing country, amazing country. The highest wealth per capita, I think next to the United States, it was top five.
Starting point is 00:59:35 I think it was number two. The production was incredible. Even though it was destroyed under the Nazis, it quickly came back because it was a free market democratic society. The guy who started it as the father of their country, if you will, studied over here. And so he modeled everything on us. And so it was just thriving. 1945, it's dropped from the Nazis. By 1947, they are the breadbasket of Europe.
Starting point is 01:00:06 They're feeding everybody. It is roaring. By 1948, 49, they flip, and they're a communist country. How the heck did that happen? Well, very carefully laid plans. and the archivist, the historian of the Communist Party in Czechoslovakia, wrote it all down. Here's how we did it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:33 And in an effort to say, basically, we need to remember how we did this because it worked really well. It worked really well. We should, we need to have this in the Communist Party record so we can emulate it in the future if needed. So the reason why we found it is because it was smuggled out of the Czechoslovakia out from the Iron Curtain into America in 1960. and it fell into the hands of a couple of senators, and then it just disappeared. Well, we found it again, and wait until you see how far down the line we are.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Remember, this is how to flip a country in three short years. And we are almost there, and we got to pay attention. So next Wednesday on YouTube, Facebook, on Blaze TV, it's all free. 8 p.m. A special socialism. A warning from the dead. Don't miss it. You're listening to Glenn Beck. 23 and me is having a special for Mother's Day. This is a great Mother's Day gift.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I mean, Tanya loved this. I loved this. The kids loved this. We did a 23 and Me, ancestry and health kit. And it's interesting because of the things you learn about yourself physically that are really, really important. The traits, et cetera, et cetera, the kids and I were like, oh, my gosh, that is so, yes, that's exactly what I am, exactly what I do. And there's a reason, a genetic reason for some of these things. But also, you get the information about your health and your ancestors. And we sat around for several nights going over these and talking about them and looking at

Australia, I don't understand why anybody goes to Australia.
Starting point is 01:03:02 I live in Australia. I mean, you might want to go. You know, like if I go to Australia, you know, I'd like to see a kangaroo at maybe the opera house. In fact, I don't want to see an opera. Put kangaroos on stage at the opera house because it's cool looking, you know, and it's nice. The water's right there. Maybe you'd take a sailboat out and you're on the water. You're like, hey, throw some ship on the bar.
Starting point is 01:03:20 and you go have some of that, whatever it is. You know, in front of the opera house, you go in on stage, a bunch of kangaroos, they're boxing or whatever. And they get out playing, you go. That's how I want to see Australia. Beyond that, Australia freaks the crap out of me. You know, they've got spiders the size of your head. And they all seem to be, like, cool with that.
Starting point is 01:03:42 They're like, yeah, got spiders. I'm proud of it. You know, okay, yeah, dude, like, I mean, you know, we kill weeds here. you know, I mean, everybody's up an arm with weed killer over here. Can you do something about the spiders, maybe? I don't know. I can, like, remember every time in my life I've seen a stray snake.
Starting point is 01:04:02 Like, two or three times in my life, I've been like, you know, one crawled across our porch here once in Texas. One time when I was a kid walking at a park with my mom down a trail and one was crossing the trail in front of us. I can remember them. That's how much of a wuss I am. These people are like dining with snakes. They just all come in.
Starting point is 01:04:19 They just slither across the table while they're like, eating, you know, their hamburgers. Oh, you know, it's really funny. I opened up my barbecue and there was a snake in the bottom of it. Okay. No, dude. That's traumatic to everyone else. Yeah, that's like freaking everybody out.
Starting point is 01:04:32 What are you doing? So what? What are you doing? I mean, I know you're all raised from convicts, but there's something wrong with Australia. Okay? I don't know if it was like, God was like, you know what? I spent too long on the Grand Canyon. I'm not even going to pay attention to the animals, just I need some spiders and stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:48 And it's like, and they came and they were like, gras. He's like, oh, crap, that's too big of a spider. Oh, well, I got to go back to work on Bryce Canyon now. I mean, I don't know what happened to Australia, but it's weird. And then they introduced money rabbits, which there were no cute little bunny rabbits in there. And I got to tell you, if I'm living with snakes and spiders, I want a bunny rabbit. I want to be in bed with a little bunny rabbit going, help me money, help me, there's spiders everywhere. And, you know, if a big spider comes as big as my head towards my head, I'm throwing the bunny rabbit. I'm throwing the bunny rabbit at it. I'm sorry bunny rabbit, but I'm going to use you as a weapon against the snake.
Starting point is 01:05:26 So they introduced bunny rabbits. Somebody is like, oh, you know, it would be fun. We should have some bunny rabbits here. So they take them and they start mating and, you know, bunny rabbits do what, but there was no natural predators for the bunny rabbits. So. Did an issue? Yeah. So there's bunny, there's millions of bunny rabbits everywhere. And so they had to go and they had to slaughter. It was the Holocaust. Many bunnies. remember Australia. You say the word Australia to them now and bunnies will, their nose will just go up and down a little faster. Never forget. Never forget. The bunny rabbit slaughter of the early 1900s, late 1800s. And now they have a cat problem. Now, if you, if you listen to me,
Starting point is 01:06:10 you know I don't like cats. Okay. I don't think that goes far enough, but yes, that is an inaccurate summary of your position. Well, I have bad, bad experiences with cats. And so I have no love for cats. However, I want to just say this. I give mail all the time. And it's just so funny because people get so passionate. I'm like, yeah, all cats should die. All cats should die.
Starting point is 01:06:33 And anybody who likes cats, there's something wrong with you. How clearly I don't believe that. But I say it just because it really annoys people. It just drives cat lovers crazy for some reason. And they're like, it's like chasing a laser. They're like, he said this, he said this, he said he really hated it. It makes us crazy. Yeah, look at you. You're running around tracing a little laser. You'll never going to catch it.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Yeah, and I will say that's essentially what you're doing to cat owners. Yes. You're just putting a little laser on the ground. And cat owners are going crazy. Exactly right. Okay. So I don't really want a cat holocaust. No, you have called for one several times, but you don't actually want it. Yeah, one of the, I think I did say, you know, on stage at one point, you know, I do have the final solution for cats. and that didn't go over real well. Wasn't your most popular on-stage moment. No, no.
Starting point is 01:07:24 You know, but here's what Australia is doing. They're dropping poison sausage from airplanes now. And they're trying to poison all of these cats because there are millions of feral cats. Now, the first thing I want to know, do cats kill giant spiders? if so Australia don't kill the cats work on the spider problem you got spooky ass spiders work on the your spiders are as big as cats work on that I mean cats I can live with my old life you know you live around two million cats yeah but there's no spiders in the neighborhood that are as big as a small dog I'm good this is an amazing article for um for me
Starting point is 01:08:16 many different reasons. When America finds out they're going to be, I mean, we're working on, I'm not going to that state because they won't have a bathroom for somebody who is, is non-gender, binary, compliant kind of person who says they're a space alien. We're getting upset about that when they find out that they're dropping poison sausage to kill two million cats. A rich person went to Africa and killed a lion that was about to malle some children. Oh, let's protest them and ruin their lives. That's the stuff we get upset about.
Starting point is 01:08:47 One lion. One lion. This is two million cats. Yes, cats. Which, by the way, everyone who got mad about the lion story is a cat owner. We should point that out. Yes. Every one of them is a cat owner.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Yes. Because that's just a big cat. No, that's a cat that will claw your eyes out. Right. But it's the same person, right? The same person who gets upset about a hunter taking down one animal in Africa is certainly going to be very upset at two million cats being killed. This article, let me point this out, though, first.
Starting point is 01:09:16 wouldn't you have loved, Glenn, if the New York Times, with all of their resources, was able to dive into, let's say, why was the IRS targeting conservative groups during the Obama administration? Yes. Or how did this Mueller investigation really get started? Can we look into that? Or how come nobody in the press is upset that people who exposed Planned Parenthood of selling body parts against the law? how come they're going to jail and no one seems to care. No one seems to be mentioning it. Wouldn't it be interesting if they spent the resources on that? This article about the cats being murdered in Australia is 6,226 words.
Starting point is 01:10:00 6,000 words for the New York Times. To put this into perspective, when you get a book contract, they'll say your book has to be 65,000 words. So 60,000 words is a size of a book. It's a normal book. The normal book like a host would release, right? This is one-tenth of that, and it's a story. One-tenth of that length. And now, it's brilliantly written.
Starting point is 01:10:26 I mean, it really is a great piece. It's good. But a couple of things I want to point out. So they're actually flying planes over Australia and dropping poison sausages so the cats will come eat them because they're eating too many rodents. So they're protecting the rodents by killing the cats with sausage made from kangaroos and chickens. So they're killing kangaroos and chickens to kill cats to protect rodents. I think there's a problem in Australia.
Starting point is 01:10:56 This is what happens when the criminal mind breeds with other criminal minds. You're like, I don't know, kill all the kangaroos to kill the cats or killing the rats because we want to live with rats. There's a story written about this along, uh, along, time ago called there once was a woman who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. We can't say why. Right. And then the woman decided to swallow a frog. Was a frog next? Frog. I don't know why she swallowed the frog. I can't remember how it rhymes. But it goes on from there and then she swallowed something else. And she told eventually got to a point where she swallowed a cat. And then she swallowed a dog because the cat was in there. And then they kept going up.
Starting point is 01:11:35 I think they ended at like a cow, which doesn't even eat any of them. But the whole point is, Do we not learn the lesson of the old lady who swallowed the fly? Why didn't she just poop the fly out? It would have been faster. I know an old lady who swallowed a fly. She waited a couple of days. Poop the fly out. Done.
Starting point is 01:11:51 The book is so much shorter. You get the kids to bed so much faster. You don't have, you skip the pooping out part. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm sorry. He's trying to make it shorter. You got it.
Starting point is 01:12:00 You got it done in two pages. You're done. That seems to be a rational way to do it. So she, just really quick. She swallowed the fly first. Then she swallowed the spider. and that tickled inside her. Then she swallowed a bird.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Isn't that absurd? She swallowed the bird. Then she swallowed a cat. Just imagine that she swallowed a cat. Why did she swallow a bird? I mean, we know, we don't know why she swallowed the fly. Spiders, she swallowed the fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly.
Starting point is 01:12:32 I can't say why. I know. I know we don't know why she didn't swallow the fly, but the bird is that what you go for? You go for a frog. It's smaller? I don't think of it. I was trying to think.
Starting point is 01:12:39 I don't remember. a frog. I remember the bird. The bird. Yeah, the bird goes after. I mean, this is obvious. Do birds eat flies? Then there was the point that she got to the goat. She just opened her throat and swallowed a goat. She's got a big throne. And then she's, I've never, I don't know what version of the book this is.
Starting point is 01:12:56 I want to know to old lady who swallowed a minister. Isn't that sinister to swallow a minister? What the hell? Where did that go? Is that like Jason Blum's version of this? Like, you hear the little kids in the background. Holy crap And then I guess the rhinoceros isn't that preposterous
Starting point is 01:13:17 The point is that when you get into this book It doesn't end well It's not at the end she's like oh finally the rhinoceros took care of the minister problem that I had swallowed And everything worked out fine Let's send that book to the prime minister king or whatever they have over there Over there
Starting point is 01:13:30 Listen to this line though Glenn You talk about the kind of this crime The odd crime mind that would need to put this together This is the Dave Dr. D. Death is his nickname, by the way. Dr. Dave Algar, he is the one ahead of this project. He says he began developing a recipe for the poison sausages by examining cat food in supermarkets
Starting point is 01:13:50 and observing which flavors thrilled his own two cats. He owns cats, number one. He's doing this for a living. He owns cats. It's mangala. And as Morse said, they've got to taste good. They are the cat's last meal. This guy is the mangala in the cat world.
Starting point is 01:14:06 He is. He's actually committing. The Cat Holocaust. Now, look, here's the thing. I don't like cats. I really don't like cats. I really don't. If all cats disappeared, be fine.
Starting point is 01:14:19 I don't want to murder cats. I don't want to do anything bad to cats. Despite your previous statements. Well, no, what I said is a final solution for cats, okay? But you didn't come out and tell people what you were doing. I want a film about cats that the cats. they're disappearing from our neighborhoods, but they're all being moved to a really
Starting point is 01:14:43 cat-friendly neighborhood where all the cats are happy. I have a director for you. I may not like it. You might not like the results, but I have a director for you. Very famous. Not getting a lot of work these days, though.
Starting point is 01:14:58 Yeah. Okay, would I know him? Oh, oh. All right. Car shield.com. Car repairs are not like they used to be. It used to be that you didn't have to take out second mortgage to repair your car, but now literally a sensor can go.
Starting point is 01:15:13 And your car is three grand. Wait, wait, what? Wait, what? My son-in-law, he didn't have car shield. And he had a used car. And he brought it in. And it was a, I think it was like a braking sensor or something like that. It was a $3,000 sensor.
Starting point is 01:15:32 He's like, I, why don't I got a $3,000? I'm like, you're on your own, buddy. you should have had Car Shield Car Shield extended vehicle protection from Car Shield They provide 24-7 roadside assistance A free rental car while yours is being fixed They pay directly to whoever you pick Go to the dealer and get the real dealer fix on it

You know, I'm sorry, we were going to go under something else, but I got to go back to this cat thing. Okay, in Australia, 2 million cats. They're going to kill 2 million cats. First of all, where are all the activists?
Starting point is 01:16:26 You know, where are the people who are like, you know, hunting down every dentist who has ever done anything at all trying to, you know, kill a lion that the townspeople were like, please kill the lion. and they eat my children. Where are all the people on two million cats being killed by the Australians because they're feral cats? Now,
Starting point is 01:16:44 I don't want to personally get involved in Australia's business and their cat problem. I just want to know, again, what is up with Australia? Are these cats that were introduced? And again, like the bunnies had no natural predator? Or, I mean, where are the dogs?
Starting point is 01:16:59 Where are the feral dogs? Where are the... Oh, wow. Yeah, they killed all the feral dogs with sausages. No, they're killing the cats with sausage. Yeah, well, technically it was snosages.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Snossages for the dogs, sausages for the cats. They would just give poison snosages to the cats, but cats won't eat snowsages. They're for dogs. Ah. So they're poised. Okay. They killed all the dogs off before with poison snossages. They should stop killing the animals.
Starting point is 01:17:22 I mean, this is what's weird is there is... I love the fact that they killed a bunch of kangaroos to put in the sausages to kill the cats. There's something just so dramatically bizarre about that. Here's the thing. I don't understand. Does, do they not have an ecological system there that takes? They have giant spiders. How come the giant spiders are not killing the cats or the cats killing the giant spiders?
Starting point is 01:17:46 I don't understand. It's like the planet is out of control in Australia. Oh, this is a great way to say global warming. This is when you bring up the global warming stuff. The globe is warm, so cats are more comfortable. They have sex more. and I'm just going to come up with what they're going to say. It's probably in this article.
Starting point is 01:18:07 It's 6,000 words. I could not get through all of them, although it's, again, a brilliantly written article. I'd like to have this author on. Yeah. Because I'd like to know, I'd like to know, really, and I'm serious about this. I want to know what the problem is caused by. But you're not willing to read the 6,000 words where it certainly tells you what the problem
Starting point is 01:18:24 is caused about. Are you? No. No way. I would like to talk to her about it, though. Yeah. It's a fascinating story. Look, you wrote 6,000 words.
Starting point is 01:18:31 If you would have written, you know, I don't know. 1,100, I probably would have gotten to it. Probably. This is not a great sell on the booking. I don't think we should tell her. Look, we just couldn't get past a thousand words on this topic, so can you come on and tell us the rest? Come dumb it down to us. We just have a couple of questions.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Like, you have really descriptive, you know, paragraphs here about all the real color of the situation. It's amazing. But I'm not quite interested enough to get through all of them. Yeah. So can you just come on and just say it like five or six sentences? Yeah, just tell us what happened to the natural predator for the dogs or the cats. We were totally describing the problem with our discourse.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Look, if this was an important topic to me, like, I should probably go through it, but in reality... This is a problem with the New York Times. Yeah. Should have said, right there in the title, 2 million cats die, you know, targeted for death in Australia. Trump to blame. Yes, then
Starting point is 01:19:23 you'd be like, everywhere. Oh, I know, the problem is Trump. And that's why they have so many cats, so I get it. I get it. I think that's, if it's not in the headline, I'm not going to make it. Let me tell you a little bit about relief factor, relief factor, foreign key ingredients that help your bodies fight against inflation.
Starting point is 01:19:45 I was inflammation, inflation, inflammation. I was hoping that some of the inflammation that was happening with my body on the outside was also due to some sort of pain issue and relief factor would make that go away, but it doesn't stop the swelling on the outside. That's just called fat. relief factor relief factor.com call 800, 583,884. Get out of pain. Relieffactor.com. I take it and it works. 70% of the people who try it.

This is the Glembeck program. Well, last night, the National Football League had its draft, at least the first round of it. And if you were here yesterday, you heard Glenn Beck attempt to predict that draft. We, uh... Incredible. That is one word I would use to describe it.
Starting point is 01:20:48 Yes, incredible. What you did yesterday was incredible for many different reasons. Thank you very much. You're welcome. I'll take that. So we now have the picks in. How did Glenn do? Incredible.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Incredibly, I would say yes. Yeah. So we will tell you the results of the Glenn Beck. And I've got a little, I've got a little turn the tables on stew. Yeah. Not comfortable with those. Yeah, well, you're going to find out what that is. Beginning in one minute.
Starting point is 01:21:18 This is the Glenn Beck program. I wrote a new song, a new jingle for X-chair. Okay. Here it is. X-chair. It's a great office chair that seems almost like a lounge chair. Yao. Thank you. It's really good.
Starting point is 01:21:35 It's got a nice beat. It's easy to dance, too. You like it? Yeah, I'll give it a neat. I worked a long time on it. I didn't write the lyrics. A little pitchy. It's great.
Starting point is 01:21:44 It's great. Anyway, X-Chair is a great chair, and it really is. More like the most comfortable chair that you've ever sat in, a lounge chair. Stu and I were talking earlier today. I'd watch a movie in this chair. This is comfortable than a lot of theater chairs. You can just sit in a nice theaters. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:01 It's a lazy boy, man. It is so good. But also, because a lazy boy makes it feel like you're just going to fall asleep in the middle of your work day. You can get a lot of work done with it, too. It's great support. It makes you feel comfortable. You don't get the pain after sitting in the same chair all day. It's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:22:15 It's kind of like an occasional table. With an occasional table, it's occasionally a table. Occasionally what else is it? Nothing. It's always a table. It's not an occasional table. It's always a table. This is like an occasional chair.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Don't see the similarity. This is occasionally a work chair. Occasionally a lazy boy. Me, I'm always a lazy boy. But I use this chair occasionally to work in, sometimes to sleep in. I'm just saying. So you're saying it's completely unlike an occasional table? Because the occasional table is exactly like an occasional table should be.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Okay. Should be. Okay. Because occasional table is always a table. But that's a different story. X chair. Go to Xchairbeck.com. That's Xchairbeck.com.

Starting point is 01:23:17 I think you will be horrified in how wrong you were. All right. Let's go. Are you ready for Glenn's review of the 2019 NFL draft? Big night last night? Thousands and thousands of people. You see how many people were there, Pat? over 200,000.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Incredible. That was unbelievable. Are you being serious? 200,000 in Nashville. Going down that the main road. 200,000. Go and look at the replays of that. Yeah, not going to.
Starting point is 01:23:50 I don't even know where I would find them. Okay. Well, NFL.com would probably have them. Scan over the audience. Just that. It's a main road. It looked like a million people. So it was the whole like a town, a main strip of a town?
Starting point is 01:24:03 Yes. Of Nashville. That main, that famous... Oh, you're kidding me. Yeah. I can't why, Broadway, right? Just a sea of humanity.
Starting point is 01:24:09 All the way back. And they used to do this at Radio City. It used to be in Radio City every year and they decided a few years ago, the first time they did it was in Philadelphia, right in front of what people would call the Rocky Museum. Yeah. Which really pisses the snobs off. They hate it. And I love it. The actual name is the Rocky Museum.
Starting point is 01:24:25 Yes. So just remember that. It's the snobs that are wrong. Yes. But, you know, that whole, if you remember standing at the top, what I think you were able to make it there after a couple of hours. When you're on the top of the stairs there And you look down the street It just goes on forever
Starting point is 01:24:38 And they fill like that entire street Same thing here It's crazy Incredible, 200,000 people I mean the idea that the NFL is dying Is maybe a little preemptive Maybe here But it may die after your draft review from yesterday
Starting point is 01:24:52 We will see though Because I think there's some good news in here For Glenn Beck as well Thank you very much Some impressive things And one thing This almost sounds like it's a sports You know like you're a sports center
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah that's right Talk about it in like a sportscaster way and it will sound official. I will say going in, I did not think Glenn Beck would be able to pull this off, but he did accomplish one thing that no other draft expert was able to accomplish. Rock, I think, was your name. And it was... And I'd love to get your reaction before we dive in.
Starting point is 01:25:23 My reaction was that it was, his predictions were incredible. Incredible. I would agree. I said that earlier. It's incredible. All right. Well, go to the... I'm going to keep watching.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Thank you. We appreciate that. Wow, they can hear me. Like every other sports program, we're going to give you our reaction before we tell you what happened. Because that's what sports programs do. Okay, so the first overall pick in the draft of the Arizona Cardinals, Glenn Beck predicted Devin White would get selected.
Starting point is 01:25:49 Because he looked happy. Yes, because he looked. He does look happy. He does look happy. Was he happy last night? So the experts predicted he would go fifth in the draft. Glenn predicted he would go first. The actual answer?
Starting point is 01:26:02 Fifth. So that's a little anti-clamatic. It's a little anti-clamatic. But I had him in the top ten. You gave me 20 names. I had him in the top ten. Yes. I had him in the top five.
Starting point is 01:26:13 I was pretty damn close. Okay, yes. There you go. I thought that was a relatively good pick. All right. Thank you. Although you did lose again. Okay.
Starting point is 01:26:21 With a second pick in the draft, Glenn predicted that Drew Locke would go second. Which we tried to dissuade him from that a little bit, telling him they already have a quarterback there. Yeah. And they paid him a lot of money. Yeah, $137.5 million just one year ago. Was he in the top five?
Starting point is 01:26:36 So Drew Locke... You didn't tell me that this was not hand grenades. No. I know. I just need to be close. I just need to be close. I think it's... I think it is close.
Starting point is 01:26:45 So I'm judging this as, did you come as close as the actual experts? So, Drew Locke, Glenn predicted to go second overall. The experts predicted to go 30th overall. And he did not get drafted in the first round at all. So he's still on the board. Wow. You're a Ted more wrong.
Starting point is 01:27:01 I need it. This is not only not hand grenades. This isn't small... It's not even nuclear weapons. Tactical nukes. Next up, Glenn had Joanne Taylor going third to the New York Jets. Glenn predicted John Taylor to go third. The experts predicted him to go 12th.
Starting point is 01:27:20 Actual draft position. Undrafted in the first round, which is a surprise. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What about Christian Wilkinson? Wilkins, because I said he could also might go third. I know. You kept saying that because the two teams were from the same city,
Starting point is 01:27:31 you could switch them. That's not a rule. Yeah, no, it's what should be. So, they're both fake. They're both fake New York teams. They're neither am in New York. They're both fake. Well, that's true. They're both in the same stadium in New Jersey. But that was a fair point. But again, you were wrong. So you're 0 for 3 so far, but things get better.
Starting point is 01:27:47 Your fourth pick, you selected Jonah Williams. Jonah Williams. Yes. Jonah Williams, Glenn selected fourth. The experts predicted he would go ninth actual draft position. 11th. So Glenn is wrong. Yeah, I thought there was some good news happening. There is.
Starting point is 01:28:02 It's coming. It's coming. Okay. Okay. And maybe is this it? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't think so. Just based on the crowd reaction yesterday, boys.
Starting point is 01:28:10 Glenn, really high on Bunchy stallings from Kentucky. A little higher than the experts were. Really high. I had a good reason. I don't remember what it was, but it was a good reason for Bunchy. Yes. They were all really good reasons, as we heard yesterday. Yes.
Starting point is 01:28:24 So Bunchy Stallings, Glenn predicted to be fifth. Bunchy was excited about your pick, though. He was. He was really excited. Dad called him and said. Glenn Beck just predicted. And then he was like, not the guy who every time he endorses a candidate, they lose.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Yeah, same guy. Yes. So Bunchy Stallings predicted to go fifth by Glenn Beck. Experts predicted him to go 216th. He was undrafted in the top 32, sadly. So neither of us was right. Well, you're 0 for 5. Again, they were close again.
Starting point is 01:28:53 Okay, next up, though, we have Christian Wilkins. I said he goes 6. Christian Wilkins go 6. The experts predicted him to go 13. So really close range here. The actual pick, 13th. The experts right on the button.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I'm looking for the good news. No, but there's good news coming up. It's going on. Okay. Okay. Number seven, you may know this one if you followed it at all. Kyler Murray. Glenn predicted Kyler Murray to go and I guess play behind Nick Foles and the giant contract he just signed.
Starting point is 01:29:21 Instead of going to the Cardinals, he did go number one overall. Glenn predicted him number seven, and so did the experts predicted him number one as well. Hingred A. Trapnel hit him. Yeah, kind of. in the general way. He at least could see the explosion from where he was.
Starting point is 01:29:34 He could hit him. Okay, so the top seven, you are 0 for seven. However, we go on to Ed Oliver. Yes. To the Detroit Lions. Yes. Ed Oliver. Now, I know you were passionate about this particular pick.
Starting point is 01:29:45 I can't remember why. This one you placed. Yes, this was my first draft pick at number eight. Ed looks endlessly surprised. He does. And, you know, that's the way everybody in Detroit, when they open their door in the morning, they're like, oh, crap, I'm still here? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:00 What the hell happened? As the bullets fly by. Right. They say, wow, another bullet flew by. What am I doing here still? He may also have been surprised that he was first of all picked eighth, but before the first seven picks. Right.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Which was interesting. So he was my first pick at eight. Yeah. That's not a confusing at all. So Ed Oliver, Glenn predicted him to go number eight. The experts predicted him to go number four. Actual pick. Number nine.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Glenn outperforms the experts. Thank you. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you. Well, that took me a little while. It did. Either that or I got it right on the first time, and I should have stopped.
Starting point is 01:30:35 Yeah, possible. Well, it's a stretch to say you got it right. You missed by one pick? Oh, he's definitely dead. If you're standing that close to a hand grenade, you're dead. And it's not horseshoes or hand grenades, is the saying. Okay. But there is one thing that Glenn Beck did.
Starting point is 01:30:51 That no one else that I saw as an expert actually did. It's an amazing thing. Glenn Beck predicted for the ninth pick, Daniel Jones, the quarterback from Duke. Now, Jones was predicted to go 17th by experts. Glenn predicted him number nine. Actual pick number six. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:31:11 Yes. Thank you. Thank you. But the only expert I saw, and I use you as an expert after that pick. The only expert I saw picking Daniel Jones in the top nine was Glenn Beck, and he nailed it. I only missing by three. I want you to put that. I want an article written about that.
Starting point is 01:31:28 sportsy kind of terms and throw that out there. Sportsy kind of terms coming to you, Glenn. We'll get to that. And the good news continues here. You're now two for nine. Yes, you missed the first seven. Right. But you're two for nine.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Last one. Two for nine-ish. Two for nine ish. You know, because... Well, you beat the experts on two of nine. Okay, yes. For not having any information. Pretty good.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Pretty good. Yeah, really good. Carl Granderson was Glenn's tenth overall pick. The experts predicted him to go 251st. actual pick, he was not picked yet. So Glenn did lose that one. But you only missed by 241. Okay, but he's closer than the experts.
Starting point is 01:32:07 Yes. Twice. Twice. That is not bad. Now, let's turn this around. As you see, I have a bunch of teams up on the board. Animals and... Yeah, some might call them shields.
Starting point is 01:32:23 Some might call them shields. Okay. This is the game of thrones. now you probably know more about the game of Thrones than I do about football I don't think there's any doubt of that right yeah I've seen two full episodes so I'm giving you with their names Frumpy girl she's 5-1 112 pounds that's all you get you have to put her in the right house we do our game of Thrones and see how close he becomes he comes and gets to that in one minute

Starting point is 01:34:25 We have seven houses. Which I just learned from the last episode. There are seven houses. I don't know what that means. Seven houses. One process question. Seven Kingdom. Can I look back at my own reviews?
Starting point is 01:34:34 No. Okay. No. Because I don't remember anything from the actual reviews. I was not allowed to do anything except look at those faces and their weights. Okay. Their height. All right.
Starting point is 01:34:43 So I have them here, all the characters, and we're going to place them in the houses. All right. So I'm going to start off with Fat Guy. Now, Fat Guy is 5-8-238. That's the only thing I have, but he is overweight at some level. Mm-hmm. For this era, particularly, there wasn't a lot of food that went around. He's not Jeffrey overweight, but he's a little fat.
Starting point is 01:35:02 He's fat for this era, I feel like. I mean, there's no food. So he was fat for this era. Just to help you along, if you don't know, if you don't have a picture of fat guy, let's just say he's the bookwork. and you might remember who he is. Okay. Now, there are seven houses.
Starting point is 01:35:16 You have a bear, a buck, a dragonhead, an archer guy, maybe some underwater creature, a lion, and a three-headed dragon. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to put a fat guy with the bear because he's overweight. You're going to put a fat guy with the bear. And he might, like, I don't know, maybe fat guy does a lot of good things. But fat guy with the bear. Maybe he does a lot of the good things, but, you know, he's, he's.
Starting point is 01:35:41 He's overweight, and I think he fat... That's kind of what the bear is, right? It looks like it's fat, but actually pretty strong. Right, okay, okay. Then I'm going to go with... I'm going to take up next Frumpy Girl. Now, Frumpy Girl comes in at 5-1-1-12. She's a little frumpy.
Starting point is 01:35:57 So, you know, she was the... I'm trying to give him things that he won't know and won't necessarily play. She was with the... The girl does not have a name. Let's say that. Go ahead. Okay. Frumpy Girl, Looking at these symbols here, I think I would associate her.
Starting point is 01:36:14 If you think about an underwater creature, she's kind of frumpy. She kind of like seems like the type that if she was a creature would kind of just be floating around aimlessly at the bottom of the ocean. So I'm going to put her with weird ocean character thing, yellow and it's got little pointy things at the end of it. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:36:31 All right. Okay. Then I'm going to go next up. I'm going to take a boy band teen next. Now the boy band teen, he's in a wheelchair. He fell out of a, tower or something he kind of seems like
Starting point is 01:36:45 this boy band teen pat so he seems like the type that would maybe if he was in today's times he would wear like jewelry he'd be like kind of flamboyant have like maybe some gold jewelry and stuff I'm gonna put him with the gold lion thing
Starting point is 01:36:58 the gold lion thing for boy band team yes next up we have we have the queen that looks like Mick Jagger and Robin Wright okay And she surprisingly does.
Starting point is 01:37:13 She does really look like... She really does look like... Like if they had a baby, this is exactly the person that would grow out of that. She's sort of a statuesque woman. She... I feel like she has good posture.
Starting point is 01:37:25 So I'm gonna put her with the yellow buck that's standing on its back leg because he's kind of standing up tall and I think that makes a lot of sense. All right. Next up we have Go-Tie guy.
Starting point is 01:37:39 Now, Go-Tie guy I think is a pretty main... character. If I'm not mistaken, it might be John Snow. John Snow, his name, first of all, Snow. So that's going to, first of all, you're going to take out the three-headed dragon,
Starting point is 01:37:53 because that could breathe fire. That's obviously how well. And I'm going to go with he's a big character. I feel like I go with the Red Archer guy here. The Red Archer symbol. Red Archer symbol. Because he's like, he's like the main character. He's strong. He's probably the guy that fires lots of arrows.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Next up, I will go with I will go with Angry Elf Now Angry Elf in this show He was Angry Elf in the movie Elf But also is in this show And Angry Elf is Now he seems like a big character
Starting point is 01:38:27 Like top of the rank somewhere And he's the type of guy That would be like the guy who designs the family crest Like he's that big of a guy And because of his height He would not be able to reach an entire painting And there's only one that's all Partial Creature which is this half
Starting point is 01:38:41 dragony head thing, which is gray and it looks like, or maybe a half dog head or something, I don't know. But he couldn't finish the whole painting because he's not tall enough. So I'm going to put him on that team. The top middle one there, Marissa. Might even be a dog or a wolf or something. Okay,
Starting point is 01:38:57 a dog or a wolf. Okay, there you go. Angry elf goes into the wolf. Okay. Now I know there's relationships between Angry Elf and a couple of the other characters, and I cannot remember who. Right. Maybe Redhead. I think Redhead and Angry Elf might be together in some way. Or maybe they were married at some point. I don't remember, but I'm going to put
Starting point is 01:39:13 Redhead with Angry Elf in that one, so I think they might be related. Sonsa. Blondie. So, Angry Elf and Redhead. The Blondie queen I would describe as the main character of the show so far that I've noticed. Yeah, okay. She seems to be hanging out with the goate guy a lot. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 01:39:29 They seem to have maybe some romantic relations. Now, I can't tell. They could be like a Romeo and Juliet thing from two different kingdoms or something, too. Which I'm concerned about, but I am because I think they've spent time together. I'm going to put Blondie in the same Archer situation. So they're from the same house.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Yes. They've got to be. They're together almost all the time. I mean, there's some risk to that strategy, but I'm going to go for it anyway. And there's, as you will find out, there's a lot. Okay. So then we have, I haven't put anyone in the three-headed dragon camp. I haven't put anyone in the three-headed dragon camp. Luckily, I have three people left. The person I haven't named yet, the curly-haired guy, and the guy. guy who looks like Ricky Jervase and Lenny from
Starting point is 01:40:13 Laverne and Shirley, which he does. Look at that. Yeah, he does. He does. A guy who was very, very sick for a while and turning into stone. Curly-haired guy? He is not the man he used to be.
Starting point is 01:40:27 And the yet to be named, which was a kid, actually, who looks like she likes battle a lot. Yeah, the little kid. Yes. Yeah, she's great. So those three go into the three-headed dragon because the dragon has three heads. Right.
Starting point is 01:40:38 Which makes perfect sense for me. Those are the kingdoms. I don't know how to explain that to people, Glenn, but... Okay. How did I do? Well, let me just... Well, I should step out because I can't get this information. The problem is I can't...
Starting point is 01:40:52 If you tell me all the things I got right and wrong, I'm going to know everything about Game of Thrones. Yeah. You didn't get any of them right. None of them? None of them are right. Come on. No, no, sorry, one is right. One is right.
Starting point is 01:41:05 Yes. One is right. You've got one right. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. eight, nine crap, that's the same amount as you did too. Yep. I only want one upset. I got two.
Starting point is 01:41:15 You got one. That's depressing. So I know that's about Game of Thrones. We have to take a snapshot of this because after he finishes the Game of Thrones, I have to show you because you are right on some things horribly wrong. For all the wrong reasons, but you're kind of right. Your instincts are, if this were hand grenades, thank you. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:43:16 So here's the latest from Notre Dame. A scaffolding firm that has worked on the roof of Notre Dame said some of its workers had smoked on the site, but it is ruled out that a cigarette butt might have started the fire that destroyed the cathedral's roof. A spokesman for the company confirming a report, French Weekly, told Reuters that some of the workers in its European scaffolding unit had informed police that they had sometimes smoked on the scaffolding
Starting point is 01:43:46 despite a smoking ban on the site. We condemn it, but the fire started inside the building, and this is not a hypothesis. It was not a cigarette butt that set Notre Dame on fire. Stores close to the investigation says that's not wrong, but declined all other comment. They said it's impossible to set a log on.
Starting point is 01:44:10 fire with a cigarette butt and questioned how cigarette butts could have been found at the site. If cigarette butts survived this inferno, I don't know what material those cigarette butts were made out of. He said the elevators, the electricity was perfectly within the specifications and well maintained. The two elevators on the outside of the building situated 45 and 65 meters from the base of the spire were the first, where the first smoke and flames were spotted, and the workers had cut the power to the elevators when they had left the site for the day they said that the electrical wiring ran through the roof of the cathedral but the church administration denied safety norms had not been respected nothing was ever done without the authorization of the state
Starting point is 01:44:56 there were no wires dangling everything was properly installed says a spokesperson for notre dame when the first smoke alarm ran uh uh a and went off, security staff had made verifications, but had not remarked on anything unusual. I don't know whether they had checked the wrong place, he said. When they added a second alert that rang shortly after, they spotted flames at the base of, it says here the fire, but I would imagine that's spire. Of course, there's flames at the base of the fire. Almost all fires have that.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Really? I was looking at this fire the other day. No flames. It was weird. the cathedral is not ruling out now any hypothesis about the origin of the fire. Investigators are considering all possibilities. That's interesting. I think that's really interesting.
Starting point is 01:45:53 They don't know. I mean, usually, you know, especially if there was an accelerant or something like that, they can spot that quickly. And this is your way of saying Muslims definitely did it and not even extreme ones. Is that what you're just saying? No. No. Did you just say that moderate Muslims in the United States set the fire? Is that what he just said?
Starting point is 01:46:12 It's crazy. Wow, that's going really far, Glenn. It's crazy. No, there's no, so far, they are not saying that there was any accelerant or anything like that. They're saying they don't know what caused it. They did say, at one point they said they had ruled out, but that it was the first, like, that was like six hours into it. It was very early. It was still burning.
Starting point is 01:46:33 How could they, how could they, you could say there wasn't a bomb. because maybe people, you know, could hear a bomb or see an explosion and they were around. But how could you possibly say there wasn't, you know, it wasn't arson or, you know, there was no foul play? They still can't say that. They're not ruling out any options. Right. So they're keeping it open. I mean, they do seem to be acting as if it was not an attack or arson.
Starting point is 01:47:01 Yeah. I don't think it was. What you've said from the beginning. The first option you threw out there was actually a cigarette. And now they're saying that they were smoking there, but they don't believe that was the cause of it. Yeah, well, that's the, the investigators have said that it wasn't started by a cigarette, that this company is correct on that. The company is having to respond and saying, yes, our guys did smoke, but that didn't start the fire.
Starting point is 01:47:26 They weren't supposed to smoke, but they didn't start the fire. They basically were saying, like, we didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning. Is that what they were saying? Okay. By the way, is this your effort to rehabilitate yourself? Are you on rehab now? Is that what this is?
Starting point is 01:47:40 Public rehab? You know, you kind of come out and do some PR and say, oh, I didn't say those terrible things about Muslims like you did last week. I didn't say those things. Oh, you didn't say those things? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:49 I mean, you are basically at the level where you're going to start accusing, you know, quote unquote Muslim extremists from going and first it's burning a church. Then you're going to accuse them of bombing churches. You're going to accuse, you're going to accuse Islaming extremists of bombing churches somewhere next, aren't you? Oh, they're just running around, blowing things up all around the world. Is that what you're saying? I mean, what?
Starting point is 01:48:13 Then you're going to accuse them of specifically targeting Notre Dame several times. Is that your next step in your rehab, Glenn? Well, that's what I mean? We all know none of that is true. What are they going to do next? Fly planes into towers? We know. I could never do that.
Starting point is 01:48:30 We know it. And you're going to say it anyway. So I hope you know who you're listening to. Mr. I got two. out of 10 better than the experts in the draft. Same guy telling you some Muslims want to blow things up. It's wild. Yeah, it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:48:43 It's crazy. By the way, did you see the picture of the Muslim terrorists that blew up all those churches right after Notre Dame? Did you see how they... Did you see how they were dressed? I mean, they wanted it. No, did you see the picture
Starting point is 01:48:59 of all of them, you know, in this like graduation ceremony picture? Oh, okay. It was the craziest thing. They're all wearing black and they're wearing these like black and white kind of mask things over their heads. Okay. And they're all standing around in these robes. And there's one guy who's really, really short.
Starting point is 01:49:18 And he's in the back. There's like nine of them and or seven of them and the eighth one is in the back. And he's just like peeking over his shoulder. You just see this like little, you know, hooded face kind of, you know, peeking over the shoulder. And I'm thinking, dude, what? I mean, don't we. don't you always say, you know, when you're taking a group photo? Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:49:39 Call tall people in the back. Oh. I mean, they're just like, I mean, how you're, you're getting ready to blow yourself up and they're taking this memorial picture and you're like, they don't even care about me. I'm just, I'm in the back. You know what you can see me. Was someone standing behind him with his fingers up with like rabbit ears above his head? No.
Starting point is 01:49:57 What was weird is right behind him was Joe Biden sniffing his towel. Oh, which was. Wow. Which was weird. That is very weird. Anyway, the guy gets around. Yeah. So, but I was watching this and they were all praying to Allah, you know, and they watched this video.
Starting point is 01:50:12 And they're all sitting there. And I, I realized this is the clan. This is the same as the clan. They cover their faces so you never know who they are. They're, their religious extremists that believe their way or the highway. they're trying to cause terror to get people to to cower. Yeah. It's the clan, basically, both terrorist groups, right?
Starting point is 01:50:42 Yeah. The clan and Islam. This is ISIS. They claim to be ISIS. No, there's doubt that that's possible. Well, no, wait. They did dedicate it. I mean, the guys who blew themselves up dedicated it to in service of al-Baghdadi,
Starting point is 01:50:57 who is the guy who we thought was dead, maybe not dead, or maybe they just didn't get the telegram. Yeah, it's tough to communicate these things. Because when you do, that's when the bombs tend to come off from the planes. Telegram for terrorist guy in the mask. Terrorist guy in the mask. Telegram, they don't know. That's when the drone flies by.
Starting point is 01:51:16 Right. You don't usually show up. I will say I am definitely skeptical of the idea they were doing this as retribution for the Christchurch attacks, which is one of the things that they're floating right now. The idea being that, okay, the New Zealand shooting happened and a bunch of Muslims who were worship. shipping died, so this is revenge. They blew up all the Easter. There's no way this complicated of an attack by a small terrorist group was pulled off in that time period.
Starting point is 01:51:42 I wouldn't say no way, but I'm highly skeptical of that idea. Usually, I mean, you know, Al-Qaeda took a few years. They don't know this. They're pissed about a lot of stuff. Yeah, they're always pissed out something, and they just blame it about the thing in the news. Yeah, they've been pissed about stuff for, you know, 700 years. They don't need new stuff. I know.
Starting point is 01:52:00 You know? They're still like, oh, man. and then they took Spain. It's like, if you're still pissed at Spain, I mean, you got issues. Yeah, it's a long time. It's a long time. You've got to let that go.
Starting point is 01:52:13 That's why I'm always kind of skeptical of the argument. It's like, well, Cuba, you know, we're doing these sanctions on Cuba. And, you know, Castro was able to use that and say, hey, we have an argument now because we can call the Americans evil. It's like they always have an argument to call the Americans evil. They don't need our sanctions to do that. They just do it. We have people in our own country telling us, you know, that women who raised $10 billion to fight the Nazis but saying one controversial song is a parody 70 years ago have to have their statues torn down.
Starting point is 01:52:51 Everyone's pissed about everything. They don't need an actual reason. When's the last time anyone in America needed a reason to get pissed off about something? Nobody does. I mean, you're telling me if Vidal Castro wouldn't have come up with another reason to not like these. United States. Right. Like I, it's like, you know, it really, I mean, it is just, it's exhausting.
Starting point is 01:53:09 You imagine. I get home at night and, you know, my kids will have, I don't know, set the upstairs on fire or whatever. Hey, today, there's a problem at school. What is it? Oh, one of them tied the teachers up and, you know, it's like, oh, geez, I love a God. You get home and you're so tired and you just don't, I said to my wife this morning, we got up and it's like 530.
Starting point is 01:53:32 in the morning. And I looked at her, I said, today, can you just not tell me if there's something wrong with the house or at the, of our life or with the kids? Can we just pretend that everything's okay and just have one not pissed off night? Can we do that? And she's like, oh, I'd love to do that. So you're specifically requesting denial? You just want to be in the dark. Yeah. Ignorance is bliss. I mean, at least one day a week when you're, you know, you come home from the end of the day and you're like, I've got to deal with what you did at school now or what you didn't do at school. What? I mean, I'm already, I'm already having to do your homework with you.
Starting point is 01:54:16 I already did my time at homework. I hated it as much as you hate it now. I've had to do it twice now. Why can't I just be like my mom and dad? Get it done! And slam the door and walk away. I just, you know, you don't even know how good you got it, because I'm sitting here actually working with you and going,

Starting point is 01:57:37 In other interesting news, this is a story I've never heard before about Ilan Omar. This is about her early rise in politics. She ran against an Eastern European Jewish immigrant. It was the children of an Eastern European Jewish immigrant. And she was one of the longest. serving legislators in the nation at the time. And she said, she warned in 2016 that she suspected Omar Harbors anti-Semitic impulses.
Starting point is 01:58:05 No. Shut up. This is interesting. I've never heard this before. Her last name is Khan. She says she recounts an incident at a Minneapolis polling station during the 2014 local election where a Somali American election judge was allegedly instructing voters in Somali that one voting line was for, quote, our Somal.
Starting point is 01:58:26 brother and the other for the quote old Jewish lady the Star Tribune reported at the time that a Somali American con supporter submitted an affidavit accusing Omar then a city council aide of shouting instructions Omar shouting instructions to the election judge yes at the polling station did somebody speak Somali that was like I mean because I don't know anybody who speaks Samoa well in this in this community it's very common I mean as you know it's one of the most most heavily populated Somali.

Starting point is 01:59:22 So we're starting to get now people who are, should be. supporters of Alon Amar. Alon Amar now turning against her. Again, I think you're going to start seeing this more and more as the Democrats eat their own and become more and more radical. I just, I mean, people are not like this. They want to live side by side. They want to get along.
Starting point is 01:59:48 We're not Europeans. We're Americans. And we don't want to hate one another. And I think this is going to come crashing down. in their arrogance. You're listening to Glenn Beck.
