Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Glenn Beck. All right. No political bias. That's the catchphrase. You're going to hear everywhere. No political bias.
Starting point is 00:00:15 The officer of the inspector general found no evidence that there was any political bias that played any role, either with former director Comey or the other FBI agents during the Hillary Clinton email investigation. So it's all good now. Carry on, nothing to see here. No, no, no. No, hold on. There are a few highlights of the 568 page report that probably are worth a discussion.
Starting point is 00:00:43 The report makes it really, really clear. There is no evidence of political bias influencing this investigation. So why did they take 568 pages to make that point? because it's really it's really not hard if there's nothing going on why have almost 600 pages that say oh yeah there was nothing going on well if you read this i think what they want us to understand is how difficult it is to prove political bias i think the inspector general wants us to read this report in its entirety and read between the lines and here are a few of the highlights Um, the, first and foremost, the, the, uh, report straight out eviscerates James Comey.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Now, one of the most controversial decisions President Trump has made in, uh, so far has been his decision to fire the former FBI director. Now, let's imagine just for a second that Trump never did that. And Comey was still sitting in his desk at the Hoover building yesterday. I can almost guarantee you that after the release of this report yesterday, Comey would have been fired by this morning. Now, here are just a few of the quotes that the IG uses to explain his behavior. Extraordinary and insubordinate, not reasonable, engaged in ad hoc decision making, serious errors of judgment. It goes on and on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:02:25 This report destroys Comey's behavior. There is no way that if Trump hadn't have fired him, he could have remained FBI director. Now, the report also goes on to analyze the behavior of several FBI agents that were involved in the Clinton administration. There was struck and page. But two of the five employees that showed questionable behavior, either through text messages or instant messaging, if you read the text and the transcripts, it's pretty damning. In Struck's case, his bias could have caused a delay in analyzing the contents of Anthony Wiener's laptop.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I want to explain this later, but let me just emphasize it could have. But as the OIG alludes, political bias is really hard to prove. Now, another agent that had been caught saying questionable things and instant messaging was actually one of the agents that conducted the Hillary Clinton interview. In that interview, the OIG seems to acknowledge that the FBI caught Hillary in a lie and still let her go. No political bias. Why? Because it's hard to prove. That story is fascinating.
Starting point is 00:03:48 So if you read this, do you see a theme here? The Hillary train just keeps on rolling. She's going to escape a courtroom for the 14,000th time. But as is the common theme for the entire Clinton family, it is those around them that suffer the most. The FBI has been tarnished. People have lost their jobs. Agents have been humiliated.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And all of this for an arrogant and, and corrupt politician. It's Friday, June 15th. This is the Glenn Beck program. We have Jason Petrillion, who is our head researcher and head writer for the program, and Jason is former military intelligence, and we had him read the report. You didn't get to all 560-some pages, but you did read about 300 pages solidly, and the rest you kind of glance through.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I quit because I was going blind. Yeah. I know. Is this unusual for a report to be this long? Yeah. I mean, some of the others that we've read from the IG have been, what, like 10, 20 pages, something like that? I mean, this was insane. This was like near approaching 600.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And the scope of it was like what will really make your eyeballs fall out of your head. Because it's supposed to just be centering around the Hillary Clinton investigation. But they talk Russia. investigation a little bit in this, just briefly, to describe some of their actions. We can get that in the second. But then they also talk about leakers. This is the, the craziness and the, I guess, the incompetence and just some of the weirdness that was going on in the FBI was all pretty much brought to the surface in this investigation. And that's kind of, I think, why it was so long.
Starting point is 00:05:42 So, Jason, tell me about the part where they catch Hillary Clinton in a lie, because it's interesting the conversations they have before she's interviewed. Right. So there was about, there was about five, I think exactly five people that the IG fingered as these people either sent or biased text messages or using an instant messaging service that was like, you know, organic to the FBI. They used to speak from agent to agent. And this one, specific one, had to do with the instant messaging service.
Starting point is 00:06:14 but one of the agent who was described as Agent 1 was sending some pretty biased stuff talking about how this is stupid, this is pointless, we've already made up our mind, that type of stuff, that's almost a direct quote, nothing's going to come out of this. You know, I mean, maybe I could give him a pass if he's working on, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:34 organized crime division or behavioral science, but no, he was the guy that was supposed to interview Hillary Clinton. Now, a little bit more background on this. Comey said in his, his interview in this report. They said, look, we had, we, yeah, this is pretty much true. We had already made up our mind. There was no way that we were going to press for an indictment on this. So she was off the hook. The only thing that would make her, the only thing that would make it to where we would do anything and indict was if we could prove her, prove that she was
Starting point is 00:07:03 lying, that she had told a lie in this. Now, in this interview, the same guy that showed bias, he asked her a question. He said, you know, did you ever know that classification market that these were classified. And she goes, no, didn't know it. So he pushed back. And basically, the OIG, you know, admitted he had to push back because the prosecutors were standing over his shoulder and they would dinged him if he wouldn't have. So he slides an email across a table to her and says, what's this? On this email is in parentheses a C. It's very obvious what that C is. If you have ever looked at a classified document, you know what that C stands for. It stands for confidential. Hillary Clinton has been looking at these things since the early 90s. She knows exactly
Starting point is 00:07:43 what this was. Her response to that was, I had no idea what that was. I thought maybe, you know, these paragraphs were just organized in alphabetical order in this paragraph C. It was the most ridiculous and hilarious response. And the FBI agent who had been caught for bias in messaging and acknowledged that. He was like, I can't remember the direct quote, but he was like, I filed that in the, you know, my brain as, you know, one of the biggest, you know, bull crap statements or something like that. So they caught her in a lie. They caught her in a lie. And an important lie. The lie. The lie that that probably would have meant that they said, okay, we can't now say that she didn't have the intent.
Starting point is 00:08:19 This goes to prove intent. But what did they do? Not a thing. They let her go. Just insane. So at the end of this, the OIG was like, okay, so again, to reiterate, we can't prove bias, but it's incredibly hard to prove bias, more or less. Well, that's particularly interesting in the context of the Mueller investigation, which
Starting point is 00:08:42 of what we know so far, right? The indictments of people like Papadopoulos who, and even Flynn, people who were, you know, getting in trouble solely because they lied to the FBI. I mean, that's what they got convicted for. So it's interesting in that. That's all she did, right? She just lied to the FBI. Now, maybe that's not a provable lie.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I guess you'd have to have evidence of her knowing. But, I mean, everybody on earth knows that Hillary Clinton knows what a classified. She was the secretary of freaking state, let alone with the 90s. I mean, when she obviously got, you know, had some, you know, parallel sort of information here that might, she may have stumbled upon, but she was the secretary of state and a U.S. Senator. Of course she knows this. So that's that. That's kind of interesting in context of maybe there, this is a good point for the Trump people who are saying, like, look, they're, they're not being fair in the Mueller investigation. If you apply the same standard that they're applied to Papadopoulos, right?
Starting point is 00:09:42 you probably have to do something to her. Yeah. No, absolutely. So here is what you kind of walk away with. The Clintons have been doing this for a very long time, and they know how to pull these heists. They know how to stay away from trouble. The, it is, it's hard to prove bias,
Starting point is 00:10:12 but it's also hard not to see it and recognize it, but to prove it in a court of law is different. This is exactly why the founders said, even if we think that they're being malicious and they're making things up, we have to stand by people's right for free speech and a free press because there are many things that you cannot prove.
Starting point is 00:10:41 This is one of them. If we didn't have freedom of the press, assuming they did their job, if we didn't have freedom of the press, I couldn't get on the radio today and say, this is clearly bias. This is clearly corrupt because the government could then hold me responsible for saying that when they just had an IG report that said there is no political bias. well no no we're reading between the lines you're saying legally you can't prove it but you're also sending the message i i mean it's hard to come up with any other thing other than political bias we're going to see i think at least i think there's multiple uh oig investigations that are going to come off of this they acknowledged one when they talked about the they were looking in all the different leakers that were involved here. And they were basically said that
Starting point is 00:11:38 like there's so many leakers in the FBI that we've started another investigation because we, it's just, it's just a, you know, it's, it's a huge deal within the bureau. And they said that they, they identified numerous agents across multiple different areas within the bureau that had personal relationships with reporters, that they had received gifts. This is disturbing. This is insane. Like they received, uh, sporting tickets, golf outings, um, high, high priced meals, uh, invitations to non-public social events. I mean, we haven't heard the last of this. This one might be a 800-page OIG report that I'm probably going to end up having to read.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Remember, though, what's interesting is if you remember what we went through with the Secret Service under Obama, it was shown to be completely out of control and corrupt. I don't think we ever really fix that, did we? Did we ever really fix that? Was there ever really a hard tree shaking of the Secret Service? Not that we heard of. Yeah, not that I know of. And now we're seeing this infection in the FBI,
Starting point is 00:12:50 which you can't have that in a, you know, in a police organization. You have to, we must clean this up. Right. And these are people, right? They're people that are flaws. and people that can learn lessons, right? It's not just that you don't want that in the FBI. You don't want it anywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And here's a great example. A great lesson is spoken here. Peter Struck hates Donald Trump. He's against him the entire time. He's the lead investigator in these cases. He comes out and the only time they really, not the only time, there's a lot of accusation. It's hints at bias.
Starting point is 00:13:24 But the most concrete hint at bias in the entire report is a decision Peter Struck made about Anthony Wiener's computer. This is insane. The computer comes in late September, I think it was 29 or 26, something like that. Yeah. Comes in, they find out about it from New York. This is where all the emails are. New York says, hey, there's a bunch of emails on here.
Starting point is 00:13:42 It might be pertinent to your investigation. The IG report says basically, they hint at, struck basically made the decision to prioritize Russia over the Wiener laptop. Okay. So instead of responding in a timely manner and following up on this lead, They push that one to the background. He's going after Russia the whole time. So he's used his bias in the situation to manipulate multiple government investigations. It's a huge deal.
Starting point is 00:14:14 So he waits and waits and waits and waits. Well, what happens is that eventually New York, the state of New York, Hillary Clinton's state where she was a senator, follows up and says, hey, are you guys ever going to do anything about this Wiener computer? That's a month later. So instead of the entire investigation coming out a week before and Comey sending the letter, alerting the nation that there's an ongoing FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton 10 days before the election, instead, as Comey hints to in his testimony, I would have probably not told Congress if we had started in September.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Because if we started in September, we would have had enough time to go through the emails and we would have had an idea if there was something bad in there. we could have told people. But if there wasn't, which is what they wound up finding, nothing, then they could have easily not told Congress about it. So in a way, his bias, right, results in Donald Trump becoming president or at the very least making his road a much easier to become president. And it's a nice lesson to learn when you want to throw your principles out to get
Starting point is 00:15:22 some short-term end. This guy may have put, struck, might be responsible for Donald Trump being president. And that's from the IG report. I mean, it's, it's not a crazy diagonal, curved line to get there. It's pretty straight line. And, you know, it's a good lesson because you might as well just do the thing that you know is right and let the chips fall where they may instead of trying to manipulate the world. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Back in just a second with more on the IG report. First, we want to thank our sponsor. It's Filterby. If you, you know, own your own home, you have an air conditioning. unit that is just working overtime. I cannot even imagine what the air conditioning bill is going to be like this month for this building because we are trying to bring the temperatures down in this whole building. And our HVAC system is just on overload. It is so hot here in Texas. Well, the one thing we have to have are clean filters. You need them at your home too.
Starting point is 00:16:24 If you don't have a clean filter, all of the air that is being sucked into your HVAC system, It's clogging up because it's pulling all the pollens and everything else out of the air. And that filter, man, you pull that out. Your HVAC system is running hotter and harder because it's trying to suck air through that thing. So you need filters and you need them to be replaced, but I never remember to do them. This is why filter by is really, really good. They have over 600 sizes. They ship for free within 24 hours.
Starting point is 00:16:56 They're all made right here in America. and they also have auto delivery. That way you never forget to change your filters. And they knock 5% off the order just for making your life a little bit easier. So save time, save money, breathe better with filter by. That's filterbuy.com. Filterby.com. So let me go to Jason who read almost all of the IG report.
Starting point is 00:17:28 So you didn't have to. If you round up, he read almost all of it. Well, he glanced at the last, you know, about 200 pages, but he read over 300 pages. So he read more than any human being should have to endure. Yes. And so, Jason, what do we expect to come from this? Are they going to charge anybody with anything? Well, I think that, I think McCabe was vindicated a little bit on this.
Starting point is 00:17:55 So I had never heard this before, but apparently McCabe, you know, know when he was called out for, you know, his wife receiving campaign donations. He went straight to the ethics board or whatever at the FBI and said, hey, this could be a problem. So I'm getting all my cards out on the table. So he looks really good for him. The problem is the FBI basically screwed him. They said, no, no problem. There's no optics issue with that whatsoever. There's no, you know, there's no problem whatsoever. So he continued on with doing his thing. So he's vindicated in that. However, the issue is he lied to the FBI director and he lied when he talked about trying to cover up and leak afterwards. That's where he got
Starting point is 00:18:32 in trouble. So maybe a little bit vindicated, but still getting in trouble for that. I think that there's going to be a lot more investigation looking into Struck and what he did during the rest of investigation. They are very heavy-handed on, you know, coming out and saying, look, we can't prove what they did affected this investigation, although read between the lines. It kind of seemed like it did, like the laptop, but they said they keep on talking about all this pertain to the Russia investigation. They mentioned that multiple times. This is a direct quote that I copied down about how bad it was. They said that Strux's comments and texts were not only indicative of a biased state of mind,
Starting point is 00:19:11 but even more seriously implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate's electoral prospects. That's huge. I mean, can you imagine, honestly, can you imagine? Honestly, can you imagine if Trump lost? Imagine this report after Trump loses. It wouldn't have come out. Well, man, maybe you're right.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I don't think it would have come out. If Trump would have lost, Clinton would have had every reason to bury this information. Yeah. I mean, because this is, you know, we can look at this in an interesting way of people should be punished for their past actions and everything else. But, I mean, in reality, he wound up winning anyway,
Starting point is 00:19:48 so it didn't affect the election. Imagine if it did? I mean, this would have a sense. sounded like an Alex Jones conspiracy theory. But I mean, here it is. I mean, the lead investigator was trying to do this. I think this would have been Hillary Clinton's Russia investigation. When you go to buy a car, and you ever walk into like a car dealership and you realize
Starting point is 00:20:06 you have the really like terrible car salesman with you and you just want to change. But at that point, you know they're on commissions. So they're like locked into you. And it's a real pain. You just want to get to the right person. Someone who knows what they're talking about that knows and will be honest with you. about whether this is a good car or not, whether this is a good deal or not. Everyone needs to make sure that a transaction goes well for both sides.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And you need to have the right person handling that transaction for you. Well, you know, it's different with a real estate agent because you can choose whoever you want. You don't have to get stuck with a person who walks up to you when you walk in the door. Real estate agents I trust.com is a website you can go to. They've got over 1,200 agents there. They've been screened from all of their results in the past. They're advertising, how their, you know, reputation. are in the community. And you can pick a great agent in your town really fast. Real Estateagents
Starting point is 00:20:57 itrust.com. Go there now if you're looking to buy or sell a home. Real estate agents I trust. com. There's a couple of things that we need to talk about. Mike Lee really needs your support. By the way, did you see that Mike Lee is being considered for the next appointee for Supreme Court Justice? Would that not be outrageously great? That would be fantastic. Although that was kind of rumored earlier and his brother was on the initial list, wasn't it? Yes. Yes. But apparently Mike is, you know, Mike is, is, is now becoming popular in Washington. And he may be on the list to be Supreme Court justice, which would be unbelievable, just unbelievable. Yeah, hopefully we have, hopefully we have the votes to get that passed in the, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:54 in the next half term. I mean, look, they're always going to say whoever's appointed is going to be problematic. However, Mike, if there's anybody who can get through a tough Senate hearing, it's Mike Lee. He's not going to have a problem with that. Yeah, and he's not partisan. He's not partisan. He's just constitutional.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yep, period. And he's also, you know, impossibly clean. And does not make mistakes with his language. He is very precise. And you know, it's very difficult to. What's great is, the Senate probably would rather have him out. The Senate would probably be like,
Starting point is 00:22:28 oh, just please get this guy out. He's always talking about the Constitution. Now we have to play by the rules. Have you seen what's happening? He did, I just read this on his Facebook page last night. Here's the latest development in the unfolding saga of the yet to be passed due process guaranteed act. Now, you wouldn't think we would need an act of Congress
Starting point is 00:22:49 to guarantee due process. Um, the Republicans and Democrats voted yesterday to let this proposal receive a vote easily defeating a motion to table. In light of that outcome, I asked unanimous consent for roll call vote. One member of the Senate, my colleague Lindsay Graham from South Carolina, objected to that reasonable request, explaining that he's not, uh, only unwilling to support the measure, which is his right, but he is unwilling to even let his Senate colleagues vote on the measure. His position is a curious one, given that the overwhelming, majority of senators want a vote on this proposal, especially considering that Senator Graham himself voted for a nearly identical version of this amendment six years ago. I respectfully but strongly implore Senator Graham to change his mind. Let us vote to protect due process in America. Let us
Starting point is 00:23:43 condemned indefinite detentions of Americans apprehended on American soil. Let us vote. So what this means is they can take this is against everything in the Bill of Rights, everything. If you're apprehended here, you're, you can't, where do I even start? This is so, this goes back to the basic, this is the liberty part in the Declaration of Independence, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What does liberty mean? It means, and the way they were talking about it, is that the king cannot come into your house and just take you. Now, that's what happens in communist countries and a lot of other countries. They don't have to charge you. They can come and take you in for questioning, and then you're just disappeared. And nobody knows what happened to you. You didn't have a
Starting point is 00:24:48 trial, they didn't charge you, and your family is like, what the hell happened to them? We can't talk about that. And neither can you. This is the life liberty part before the pursuit of happiness. You cannot do it. You must have due process. I don't know what Lindsay Graham is thinking, but he is not thinking about the Bill of Rights. If someone is picked up here, An American soil, they must have due process. This goes to the government just coming in and taking your money. How many cases are we watching on this?
Starting point is 00:25:32 No, a ton. I mean, it's a huge problem. And we're not even scratching the surface on it yet. No. It's it's a civil asset forfeiture, which means they can come in and they're doing it everywhere. And I'm telling you, as these cities and states, become more and more desperate to meet their bills, they are just going to start taking it because they can.
Starting point is 00:25:58 They will say, well, we had, you know, for instance, the one guy that I know that ran his own store, he was told by the bank, you know, don't make deposits over $10,000 because then you're going to be put on a list. Okay, so he would go to the bank every day and he would make a deposit. always under 10,000. Well, that marked him for suspicious activity. Because why is it always just under 10 grand? Well, because that's what the bank told him to do. They came in, they took his money, no due process. He had no, he had no money left, no bank account, nothing. And no due process. They didn't even charge him with anything. We know of another guy that was walking through the airport. Yeah, that was another one where he was
Starting point is 00:26:48 was bring his money back to his home country because he was going to help some family members. He'd lived here forever. He had lived here for 20 years, something like that. Saved up over $50,000. It was going to help. And, you know, I think it was Croatian. I think he was Croatian, maybe. Whatever it was.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Latvian? Perhaps. Whatever it was, he was not confident in the banking system to be able to send his money. So he decided to just bring it with him and carry it on the plane. Which is legal. Which is legal. It's your money. as long as you declare it.
Starting point is 00:27:19 So he's leaving the country and they stop him, take his money, don't charge him with anything, and he still doesn't have his money. His entire life savings, they just took it from him because they thought, I don't know, this doesn't seem right. And they didn't actually have anything on him at all. And then now they're just still holding his money. It's been weeks and weeks and weeks. We talked about Chicago as well as on this amazing what they're doing in Chicago right now.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Listen to this story. This is a guy, Spencer Burr. This happened in 2016. He's been fixing cars since he was 16 years old. Sometimes he did service cars and calls and would give clients rides when he couldn't repair their cars on the spot. One night he's giving a client, a man he's never met before, a ride in his car, Cadillac DeVille.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Police pulled them both over. They searched the car. What they find is the mechanic, bird, he's completely clean, didn't do anything wrong. But the passenger, what he's carrying in his pocket was a bag of heroin. the size of a tennis ball. Okay? Wow. No one's accusing the mechanic of having anything to do with this.
Starting point is 00:28:24 He was giving a ride to someone who happened to be carrying heroin. What they did is they took his car, the mechanic's car. Now, again, he's a mechanic. He probably needs his car to be able to shuttle people around like this. They've taken his car. They've impounded it. They are holding it and holding it and holding it. Then they start charging.
Starting point is 00:28:47 him storage fees. Storage fees on top of storage fees on top of storage fees, plus penalties on top of penalties. He can't get his car back. He now owes the city more than the entire car is worth. So with the exception of legal proceedings, the sensible decision is to just give it up. Let the city have the car. And this is happening over and over and over again. And why is Chicago doing it?
Starting point is 00:29:12 Because they're trying to pay down their bills. they're trying to screw every citizen they can because their balance sheet is so screwed up from years and years and years of progressivism that they're just taking people's money and taking people's property to try to get as close as they can to breaking even. So here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Without due process, you don't have a chance. Look at the hoops that they are jumping through for the politicians in Washington, D.C. Look at the hoops that they are jumping through to prove that Hillary Clinton did no wrong. They give her every opportunity and every opportunity to just clearly lie.
Starting point is 00:29:54 I didn't know what that C meant. You were a senator. Secretary of State. Secretary of State. And was in the White House for years. You're telling me you didn't know that that C stood for classified. Clearly, that's a lie.
Starting point is 00:30:12 However, what did they say? the inspector general comes out and says, we cannot prove it. We suspect it. It seems obvious, but we cannot prove it. So we have to move on. Now,
Starting point is 00:30:30 nobody feels like that's justice. But is it justice that the ruling class has a separate standard that all of a sudden they get the benefit of the doubt? but you're a guy who's a mechanic. You're giving a guy a ride home because his car is in your shop and you are paid or you have to pay the penalty that you lose your car? Due process. If we do not have due process, we are done as a country. That is not hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:31:08 There is nothing left. Life, liberty, and property. Due process protects all three of those. And Lindsey Graham doesn't want a straight up or down vote to protect due process. You need to call your senator and you need to tell them. You must vote for due process. You need to call and write or whatever Facebook post Lindsey Graham. Americans don't stand in the way of protecting due process.
Starting point is 00:31:52 What Mike Lee is trying to do is to reassemble the Bill of Rights, to put new safeguards around it because it's just being dismantled piece by piece. Tell Lindsey Graham, sit down. You can vote against it because you don't believe in it, but you don't have a right to sit and block a vote of due process in the United States Senate. It's critical.

Starting point is 00:34:16 Get your tickets at Mercury1.org slash Museum 2018. All right, so Stu would like to tell us who gay people are, which I think is an interesting choice with a career choice, really. I think it is. It's very interesting to dive into this. We actually have Brad Pilemo coming up who happens to be gay in our three, and he wants to talk about the masterpiece cake shop ruling and whether that's okay. I think it's, it is interesting to hear, I think, the perspective,
Starting point is 00:34:47 because I think what happens in the media is, I've had people tell me before, there are absolutely no gay people who agree with you on on gay rights issues and you think that's kind of how the media presents it, right? I don't think that's actually true. Listen to the profile. This is they just did a poll of of LGBTQ.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Who are LGBTQ? This one was fascinating to me completely separate from politics. Give me a breakdown of percentage-wise your guess on LGBT. Okay, lesbian gay by What's the breakdown percentage-wise of those three groups? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:35:24 What is it? Okay, there's 100% would be all of them. All of them. What's the breakdown between the three groups? L, G, and B. Lesbian, gay, bisexual. It would be maybe 40, 40, 10. And 10 being bisexual?
Starting point is 00:35:43 Bisexual. Here's the actual breakdown. 16% lesbian. What? 32% gay. 46% bisexual. They're the largest group by far. B is the biggest.
Starting point is 00:35:57 You mean in real life or in this in this club? Out of LGBT people. Out of those people, lesbian, gay and bisexual. So this is not talking about the people who are activist in that. You're talking about just percentage of all Americans who are. Yeah, that's a poll of people. Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I thought you meant about, you know, the activist involved. Sorry. No, that's right. So how about marriage? 39% say they either don't want to get married or are unsure if they ever want to get married. 39%. So we hear this whole thing about, you know, how important of a right that was. There's a lot of people who have no interest in it.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I know that for my own life. Of course. People are saying, I know, I know plenty of gay people who say, why would I want to do marriage? I mean, it doesn't seem to do you guys any good. You keep getting divorced. We're fine. I guess maybe the same with children.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Yeah. Because you hear about like adoption and everything. 62% either don't want children or are not sure that they ever want to have children. And the biggest group is I don't want children 44%. Wow. Which is a large amount. I thought this was somewhat self-evident, but bisexual people are having more sex and they're gay and lesbian peers.
Starting point is 00:37:22 You've doubled the chances of who you can have sex with. Surprisingly, it's 29% of bisexual people having sex once or twice a week. 15% several times per week, a lot higher than gay and bisexual. You're doubling the amount of available people. But yeah, it's kind of an interesting, by the way,
Starting point is 00:37:38 36% either moderate or conservative. 36%. So several months ago had the Miss Universe competition. Two women took a selfie and then posted it on Instagram. The caption read, peace and love. As a result of that selfie, both women have faced death threats now. One of the women, along with her entire family, had to flee her home country.
Starting point is 00:38:05 The occasion was the 2017 Miss Universe competition, which I think is a little arrogant of all of us earthlings, but that's another story. The women were Miss Iraq and Miss Israel. Miss Iraq is no longer welcome in her own country. The government threatened a stripper of her crown. Of course, she was also, you know, badgered for wearing a bikini during a competition. I mean, that's kind of what
Starting point is 00:38:30 Miss Universe is. And if you didn't like bikinis, why does anybody in Iraq know about the Miss Universe competition? I'm just saying, it seems like you might be watching it. Anyway, in an interview, Miss Iraq, Sarah Iden,
Starting point is 00:38:48 said, when I posted the picture, I didn't think for a second that there'd be any blowback. I woke up to calls from my family and the Miss Iraq organization going insane. And the death threats I got online were scary. The director of the Miss Iraq organization called me and said that they were getting heat from the ministry. He said, I have to take down the picture or they will strip me on my title. Well, yesterday, Miss Iraq, Sarah Iden, posted another selfie. This time, did she learn her lesson?
Starting point is 00:39:19 She posed in another selfie with Miss Israel during a visit to Jerusalem. In an interview, she said, I don't think that Iraq and Israel are enemies. I think maybe the governments are enemies with each other. And there's a lot of Iraqi people, though, that don't have a problem with Israelis. This, of course, is quite an understatement. Iraq, home to roughly 15,000 Palestinians, refused to acknowledge Israel as a legitimate country. as it is technically they are at war with Israel. The adage says that the picture is worth a thousand words.
Starting point is 00:39:58 But what do we do when those thousand words are all hateful and deadly? How can we find the goodness in such bad situations? It's Friday, June 15th. This is the Glenback program. Welcome to the program. Mr. Bill O'Reilly. the author of the upcoming book, Killing the SS,
Starting point is 00:40:25 The Hunt for the Worst War Criminals in History. Hello, Bill. How are you? Beck, I'm good. Thank you for asking. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's not like I really cared, but I thought I would ask because it sounds polite.
Starting point is 00:40:36 No, I mean, but just the fact that you made the effort. Yeah, I know, I know. Thank you for recognizing that. Now, Bill, I wanted to talk to you about a couple of things. Let's start with the OIG report. Mm-hmm. Your thoughts? Well, I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 00:40:52 surprised, the thing, there were a couple of headlines that we spotlighted on Bill O'Reilly.com. The first one is that the FBI and the Justice Department held back that key memo, the headline of the whole story, where Peter struck the lead FBI agent on the Hillary Clinton email thing, and in the beginning on the Trump-Russian collusion thing, sent to his mistress of all that, lawyer named Lisa Page, that we, use that word we, would prevent Donald Trump from becoming president after Page, semi-historical said, oh, he's not going to get elected, is he? That's the headline. That's the big smoking gun. I didn't expect a smoking gun, but there it is. But that memo should have been out a long time ago because congressional investigators asked
Starting point is 00:41:49 for the correspondence between Page and struck. They held it back. Why? Because the FBI and the Justice Department knew what a damning thing that would be. But if you listened to the media last night, they hate Trump media, that was buried. But that is the big headline of the whole thing. Did you get the impression that the Inspector General was also saying, of course there was political influence.
Starting point is 00:42:17 We just can't prove it. It's really hard to prove. but look, I'm going to spend 600 pages on something that if there was nothing there, I would have done it in 20. But you need to know all of the details and you judge for yourself. I didn't like the report. I thought the report was sloppy and I thought the report was misleading. I'd like to talk to Horowitz and interview him about it. And the two things I didn't like about the report.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Number one, he was very generous to James Comey, extremely generous by saying, well, we didn't find any bias in James Comey's activities. But we found that he did all of these other things wrong. He was arrogant. He was defiant. He went outside of Justice Department guidelines. He'd blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But we didn't find any biased in that.
Starting point is 00:43:15 So then the logical question that a six-year-old. would ask would be why did James Comey do all of these. But don't you think that's what he was trying to say when he says it. Well, because, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. He was, he said in the report, it's very difficult, if not impossible, to prove political bias. And I think that they were just, there's all smoke there. Just leave it there. He did.
Starting point is 00:43:46 But no, he didn't. He said that we couldn't find any political bias in James Comey's behavior. And that was what the hate Trump media latched onto. That was the first thing that CNN reported. And the New York Times and the Washington Post, you know, the usual suspects. Bloomberg as well, you know. Look, there's a discipline that should be applied to these kinds of extremely important documents. and I did not see that discipline in Michael Horowitz's end product.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And why should it be applied? Because this is extremely important to every American citizen. Why? Most of us, you know, I mean, you go out today to the mall and you go, hey, you read the Inspector General's reporting, people going to look at you like, ah, well, ah, ooh. Okay, and it's becoming even more, more deranged in this country where people just don't pay attention.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So why is important to every American citizen? Because you have the premier and most powerful law enforcement organization rife with corruption, and that's the FBI. And there's no doubt about it. When you have your lead investigator on Hillary Clinton email and Russian collusion, a guy who was hired by Special Prosecutor Mueller to come on over, a guy who co-authored James Comey's public statement, first public statement exonerating Hillary Clinton, when you have that man showing the malice that he showed toward Donald Trump,
Starting point is 00:45:25 that is corruption at the highest level. And this is the FBI. So what was the Attorney General's motivation for not just going after them other than he couldn't prove it? What do you mean the inspector general? Yeah, I'm sorry, yeah, not the AG, the I'm sorry, yeah, the ATG. The Attorney General? Yeah, yeah. I don't know if, you know, Sessions even knows that this is out yet, by the way.
Starting point is 00:45:52 He's down in Mussel Beach down in the Redneck River, Riviera. You know, where's Sessions? Where is he? The guy is just unbelievable. I mean, you should, Gomer Pyle could do a bit. All right, all right. Where is the man that? There is he.
Starting point is 00:46:12 What is the motivation of the IG? I don't know other than the fact that it is becoming clear that the Justice Department is just like every other government department. Of course it is. Full of bureaucrats who want to cover their butt. It was disturbing to me to see in the report that there is, it seems to be a little rampant of the FBI agents themselves taking all kinds of favors from. members of the press. No, I know. It's so outrageous.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Every, you know, they, they expose that the FBI rank and file now. The agents involved in investigations have all these cozy relationships and are going to ball games and getting dinners and going out drinking with the press. And the press, of course, is getting these leaks. And that's why we have anarchy in Washington, D.C. It's not just the FBI. It's almost every federal. agency leaking to the press, selective leaks, that the press doesn't care to follow up on,
Starting point is 00:47:17 they just print them. They just print them. They don't know if it's true. They don't know why it's being leaked. They just, here it is. There's the headline. We don't care if it's true. We're not going to take the time to find out.
Starting point is 00:47:28 And so this is another part of the corruption that has just enveloped Washington, D.C. Do you think, Bill, as we're on the road to, I think, a banana republic, If you can't trust your justice system, then you really don't have anything. There is no justice system anymore. And you ask anybody who's been into civil court, and you ask anybody who's gotten a beef, who's been sued by, you know, somebody maliciously, you ask anybody. You have to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars to just be represented. What kind of justice system is that?
Starting point is 00:48:06 You have to wait years. You're smeared if this gets out to the press. So justice system. But here's what's even worse. I think that Peter Strach committed crimes. And that's what we did last night on the No Spin News.
Starting point is 00:48:20 He brought in it, former U.S. Attorney Brett Tallman is probably the smartest guy in the country on this. And I said, this looks like a conspiracy. This looks like a conspiracy. You can charge this guy struck
Starting point is 00:48:32 and perhaps Lisa Page with a crime. All right. But who's going to investigate it? So Horowitz refers five FBI agents to disciplinary action. Well, who's going to investigate that? Other FBI agents? Who's going to do that?
Starting point is 00:48:52 If you look at what Struck did throughout the whole investigation, again, this is the top guy at the FBI investigating Hillary and Trump collusion. Okay? If you look at what he did behind the scenes and how he maneuvered, You know, things that, well, we're not going to say this. We are going to say that. They held back the Hillary Clinton thing for almost a month when the stuff was discovered on Wiener's computer. Okay, that's a crime.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Well, who's going to investigate struck? Oh. You know, I mean, that's how bad it is. You talk about a banana republic. Who's going to do it? So we got to explore another special prosecutor. Oh, my God. Who wants another special prosecutor?
Starting point is 00:49:37 So, Bill, here at the, here at the Mercury Studios, we're doing this museum, and it's all on the Bill of Rights. And we're showing the pieces from history that kind of explain the Bill of Rights and explain when we go wrong. But it starts with the Declaration of Independence. We told these truths to be self-evident. This, what's really run through my mind in the last few weeks is, first of all, they're not self-evident. they have to be taught. They're taught for generations, then they become self-evident. But as soon as they start to be decayed, you're taught something different, that somebody else is in control.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Do we, I mean, I keep thinking of the line from, I think it was John Adams that said, you know, the system that we have is built for a religious and moral people, uh, with, that, this system is wholly inadequate. We're no longer people who say, no, no, you know, that's unethical. I'm not going to do that. No, I'm not going to do this. We're now a people who are like, I don't care. Everybody's doing it.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Are we able to rule ourselves anymore? Oh, boy, Beck, I mean, that's philosophical. Oh, geez. I'm going to give you, I tell you what, I'm going to take a pause. I'll give you a chance just to think about that. Yeah, you just. I've got to call some people to get an answer. You call...
Starting point is 00:51:07 Lifeline? Yeah, you need a lifeline. You call somebody, and then we'll get your answer here in just a second. Like, he's not a deep thinker at all. All right, thanks, Bill. Hang on to a second. We'll back in a second. First, I want to tell you about our sponsor.

Mr. Bill O'Reilly, we are a nation that doesn't seem to care about the truth anymore. We don't know how to find the truth. We don't know how to think. You know, more and more millennials now believe. that they are going to retire at 55,
Starting point is 00:52:42 and they are higher in debt. There's no common sense. There's no common decency anymore. Can Americans rule themselves anymore? Well, I'd have to say, yes. I mean, I can't bail on the country per se. I think that there is a strain of common sense among Americans over 35.
Starting point is 00:53:09 I think that that gap now, it used to be because during World War II, I mean, you had 18-year-olds, 19-year-olds fighting for their lives in defense of their country, and they had to grow up real fast. And the same thing in the Depression, they had to grow up, you know, when you were 16, you were a man or a woman. Now it's these people are sloppy and they're, you know, lazy. I'm generalizing. And certainly some very, very good millennials.
Starting point is 00:53:33 But the schools don't challenge them. The parents are on the machines all 24-7 themselves. they're not paying attention to them. There's no moral core. Religion has declined drastically in the country. There's no discipline across the board. It takes them a while to figure it out. But it is troubling that the truth really doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:53:56 because it's your truth. And you see this now in all kinds of public pronouncements. I'm going to tell you my truth. No. There's the truth and then there's deception. It's not your truth. truth. You can basically present an argument that can be overwhelming in the sense that this did happen, and we have to accept that. And if you don't want to accept that, that's not your truth,
Starting point is 00:54:21 you're a moron, and you're deceiving yourself. So I don't want to have anything to do with you. But that's being embraced as a legitimate point of view. I was just looking for a yes or no on that. Oh, you were. I'm sorry. I didn't call my friend Plato. You did. Yeah, in the break. Right. And then to try to get a philosophical view that I just am part of it.
Starting point is 00:54:42 You just like to take the top off of Plato and smell it. I know. Oh, my God. So, Bill, let's spend a couple of seconds. You know what? I want to go to the summit when we have a little more time after the break. So let me just, let me start with this. Looks like the trade war with China is getting really serious.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Yeah. A new tariff going in. 25% tariff on China. They say they're going to respond. Is this helping us? Is this going to get things? As if the deal is made,
Starting point is 00:55:18 which I think it will be. I think the Chinese opened it up with, we'll buy $90 billion more American goods a year, and Trump wants it to be $150, and I think that's what this is all about. I don't want to trade war. That's ridiculous. And, you know, when you call for Chinese takeout,
Starting point is 00:55:33 now it's twice as much as it was. That's not right. That's wrong. That's painful. I think that's just for you. It's Bill O'Reilly's house. Charge him twice. Charge him double.
Starting point is 00:55:45 It's a tariff. Right. But real tariffs have been put on, for example, on washing machines, Bill. And so now they're saying their highest prices they've ever been. They're up 17%. So now we have of real Americans, the folks, paying 17% more for washing machines. Why would you buy that washing machine? Buy one from Portugal.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Well, because there's tariffs. Chinese washing machine. There's tariffs on all the washing machines coming in now because the Obama administration tried to tariff Korea, South Korea and Mexico. So they moved it to Thailand. Then they did it to Thailand. Now they're doing it to everyone. So now they're all having to pay more.
Starting point is 00:56:21 And the folks are getting hit with 17% more cost. And it's just funneling into a niche industry here where it's costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per job. It makes no sense. And this is not a negotiation. it's been going on, and it started, to Trump's credit, it started with Obama. Obama started with it. And now Trump's continuing it. Isn't it just a bad idea
Starting point is 00:56:43 to tax people who should be able to keep their own money? Listen, I don't know anything about the washing machines, but I do believe what you say, Stu. Thank you. So I'm basically taking my wash out to the brook and pounding it with rocks this afternoon. I mean, I'm fighting back.
Starting point is 00:56:59 I'm not going to take this. You're so. That's what I'm doing. All right. All right. All right. You want to play that with the ejector seat? Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:08 That's what that was. Okay. All right. When we come back, I'm sure you have a lot to say about Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. Yeah. And I'd like to hear your, your digest, if you will, of that. But I also want to make sure that we hit a couple things. What the president said about Kim Jong-un and how he rules his people.
Starting point is 00:57:31 He's a strong leader. And when he talks, people sit up and listen. and quote, I'd like our people to do that as well. Get Bill O'Reilly's take in a minute. This is the Glenn Beck program. Well, every week we spend an hour with Mr. Bill O'Reilly, so you don't have to. And just get his opinions on the goings-on around the world. And it's a big weekend, this weekend, with the museum going on right now.
Starting point is 00:57:58 You can go to Mercury1.org slash Museum 2018 to get your tickets. You could take a tour of the entire museum went through with the whole thing yesterday. It's incredible. You have access to documents. You can put the, you know, in the plastic sheets, but they're right in your hands. And you can read the documents from the founders. It's really incredible. Plus, all sorts of really dark stuff from the Soviets and from the Chinese regime and all sorts of different eras of history, as well as the Nazis.
Starting point is 00:58:26 If only we had an expert on, let's say, the SS, who maybe wrote an entire book, killing the SS that's coming out soon. If only we had someone like that. We'll try to find him. We'll try to find him. Right now we're talking to Bill O'Reilly. By the way, hey, we're doing a, we're going to open the case. The Gettysburg Address came yesterday. Did you lose the key?
Starting point is 00:58:46 No, it was not. Did you lose the key? It didn't arrive. It didn't arrive. It didn't arrive, Federal Express. And it was, it came separately. And we called yesterday and we're like, the key hasn't arrived. And they're like, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:59:01 It's supposed to be here at 1030 today. If it's not, think of this. We have to call a locksmith to open up the case with the Gettysburg address in it. I mean, what, I mean, what locksmith wouldn't, I mean, it's like you're in a movie. I broke the lock to get the Gettysburg address. Okay, you're in a national treasure with Nicholas Cage. So anyway, we're going to open that live, hopefully, at 12 o'clock Eastern time. I really hope it's on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:59:31 I really suck if we opened it up and there. It wasn't there. Yeah. It's like Geraldo's vault. Anyway, Bill O'Reilly, welcome back to the program. Let's talk a little bit about what happened with Kim Jong-un. Yeah, I wrote a column on it, of course, on Bill O'Reilly.com, and it basically was a very big victory for Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:59:53 because he was able to show the world that, look, we'd like to have peace. We'd like to negate this guy. We'd like him to cooperate with us. and so I'm going to do whatever I can to make that happen, and that includes actually complimenting this jerk. So I think most non-Trump hating people understand that was a positive, not just for the United States, but for the world. So, you know, it's interesting to see the reaction to Trump,
Starting point is 01:00:26 but he gets a big win out of that. So, Bill, I think you know Donald Trump. I've met him a couple of times, and I don't, you know, not like I think I'm safe to say it's not like we're friends yes yes okay so join the club right yeah wait a minute hang on just a second so um uh do do you believe because I do um do you believe he is he's the he's self aware enough to know I recognize this guy um I see you know that he is um I see his want for fame and power, and I know that if I carry a big stick, but then I say, come on into the circle.
Starting point is 01:01:17 He's going to want to be into that circle. Is he self-aware enough to know that that's kind of his M.O. And it will work on somebody like Kim Jong-un? Well, he's got a pattern of negotiation that he uses flattery threats. It's not sophisticated, but he's worked well for him. So he uses that, and, you know, in this case, he threatened the little rocket man to diminish him, and then, you know, by back channels, China. He said, look, you know, you want things to get better, we can do that too, and I'll prop him up.
Starting point is 01:01:55 So the little rocket man said, you know what, I'm going to try this, and we'll see how it works out. But is he self-aware, yes. Trump is self-aware in a sense that he has a way to operate that's worked for him in the past, and he continues to do it now. Now, if you take that into consideration, then your next question might be, and I don't want to tell you guys what to ask me, but then why would you go out this morning and say that Americans should sit up at attention when the president speaks just like they do in North Korea? Why would you go out this morning then and say the American should just stand up at attention?
Starting point is 01:02:30 That's weird. That was my next question. Oh, really? Okay. Excellent question. Thank you. Because there's a lack of discipline on the part of Donald Trump that we talked about discipline on Michael Horowitz and the Inspector General's report. And again, that's very troubling to me because, you know, that's his job and the report was so imprecise about why James Comey did what he did. But Donald Trump doesn't, he, he basically is a guy who acts on impulse. And you're the president now. He's the exact opposite of Brock. Obama. Exactly. Obama never acted on impulse, ever. And but Trump says, oh, there's Steve Ducey out in the, on the front lawn of the White House. I'm going to go out and kick some, but rhetorically, which he did. And, you know, Trump doesn't even know what he's saying half the time. You know, when I see all this, and then you look at the reaction, MSNBC, oh, you know, I'm going, don't you realize that he just,
Starting point is 01:03:31 says stuff. Everybody knows people who just say stuff. So that was the big discussion and I couldn't take it from David Gregory this week on CNN with Mr. David Gregory. Look, I speak France, so I am smarter than you.
Starting point is 01:03:48 David Gregory is like, this president, he just says things, but there is a responsibility and we're not the enemy of the people. We're a bigger enemy than ISIS and Russia. I also had a problem with Wolf are saying, we're a bigger enemy than Russia because they were mocking anyone who said
Starting point is 01:04:07 Russia was an enemy before this president. You know, I just can't take it. However, I also do see that it's not good to have somebody who's just saying things and not and not meaning it. The weakest part of the Trump administration is the president himself saying stupid stuff. It's as simple as that. If he would discipline him's message, he would be 15 points up in the job approval rating and almost have a lockdown on re-election.
Starting point is 01:04:47 But he is incapable of doing it, which makes him very amusing. One of the reasons that I got to know Donald Trump was because he and I would go to sporting events in New York City. Go to the Yankees, the Mets, the Knicks, whatever. And he was so outrageous sitting next to him for two hours in his stream of conscious monologue was about the most entertaining thing
Starting point is 01:05:11 that I could possibly imagine. And that's why I went. I mean, I went and I was learned an amazing amount about what his business was, how he conducted in what he thought about, life, liberty, and a pursuit of happiness. But he's totally uncensored. He always has been since he's been one year old and learned how to speak the language.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Nobody's saying, Donald, you can't really say that. They're going, Donald, here's the gold card, go out and do whatever you want. He's a rich guy, and rich guys have a tendency to spout, and he spouts. And, you know, the method to his madness is that he likes to drive people crazy. Yes. He likes that. That's fun for him. It's his hobby.
Starting point is 01:05:51 What a Donald Trump's hobbies? Golf and driving people crazy. Those are his two hobbies. Right. And it helps to understand that so that the American people go, you know, so what? You know, when I hear this stuff about Trump saying this crazy stuff, I go, so what? So what? I mean, I don't care if he says that.
Starting point is 01:06:13 It doesn't bother me if he wants people to sit up like they do in North Korea because it's just, he'll forget about it in an hour. And that's what I want to get across. It's about trying to get the country in a better place. All right. And on some things, he has improved the country dramatically, and on others, he hasn't. Can we talk about some serious business, Bill, which is when do we get killing the SS? Why don't we have a copy yet? Well, because the galleys, as you know, because Beck writes a book every year,
Starting point is 01:06:42 and the galleys will be out, I think, in 10 days. It's a sharp-looking book. I design the whole thing, as I always do. Okay, hang on just a second. You know there are words in this book? Yes. Okay, good. All right, good.
Starting point is 01:06:56 But no, they're in French. All right. Well, when you're talking about a book and you're like, and I designed the whole thing. You'll make it front of the French. We have good mustard. You're going to really like this book because it's not the typical World War II book in the sense that, well, I knew that. I knew that. There's a lot of new stuff.
Starting point is 01:07:19 And the headline is that the Israeli government opened. up stuff to us about the pursuit of SS war criminals like Eichmann and Mangala that they had never made public, that they had been, this has been secret stuff, classified stuff, we were able to get it. And therefore, we're able to walk you through how they got away after World War II. We believe Martin Borman, second in command, Adolf Hitler, did get away where the ally propaganda and Russian propaganda was he was shot in Berlin. We don't believe that happened. And we present an unbelievably compelling case.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Do you make a case of where he might have gone? Yes, Apsbeck. We trace him to Barra Loche, Argentina, and way do you see the evidence that we have. It is so unbelievable some of the stuff that we found out, that people who are interested in the most evil acts ever perpetrated on this earth. And now kids don't know anything about it. You mentioned the Holocaust.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I don't know what you're talking about. I'm hoping that this book galvanizes the country and the world. It's going to do very well overseas and that people start the conversation again about evil. This is about evil, okay? And how evil is accepted in many quarters. A lot of people that help these SS guys get away. And we name those people, and some of them will shock you. Bill O'Reilly.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Always good to talk to you, sir. Is it really, Beck? No, it's not. Hey, what are you doing for... I want your audience to just get the unfettered truth. Yeah, what is, what are you doing for Father's Day? You know, I'm on Eastern Long Island. The most beautiful place in the summer, and I'm going to shake down the kids for presents.
Starting point is 01:09:07 You're going to shake down the kids? What are you hoping for? What is Bill O'Reilly, what does Bill O'Reilly want as a gift? I want the children to act like they do in North Korea, sit up. Great one is good. Bill O'Reilly, thank you very much. Appreciate it. All right, buddy. Bye-bye. Bill O'Reilly from Bill O'Reilly.com
Starting point is 01:09:29 and his new book, Killing the SS, coming out. All right, I want to tell you about our sponsor this half hour. It's Casper. Now, imagine taking a car out for a 100-day test drive. I mean, that's how you know, if you love it. Unfortunately, there would be a lot of people
Starting point is 01:09:48 that would be returning the keys of that Ferrari. You know, going, I don't think I'm going to get a, Hyundai instead. So they don't let you do that. Same with shoes. But Casper lets you do that with their 100-night sleep challenge. 100 nights in a Casper bed.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Try it. Now, the reason why they do this is they know that if you lay down for 20 minutes in a store, it's not the same as sleeping on a bed night after night after night. it will change the way your back feels, your body feels, and you sometimes will get a mattress and you'll be 10 days into and you're like, oh, this sucks. The opposite happened to me. I put the new Casper mattress in my house.
Starting point is 01:10:35 I had an old Casper mattress. I tried the new Casper, and I really didn't like it the first week. I didn't like it. And I was like, a good thing we saved the other one. I shipped this one back. In 10 days, I loved that mattress. it's something that you have to sleep on. And that's why they're giving you 100-night sleep guarantee.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Now, it'll ship to your door in a little teeny box. If you don't love it, you don't have to put in the box. You just call them, they come and pick it up. When the choice is to test a mattress by actually sleeping on it for 100 nights in your home, there is no question. What I want you to do is go to casper.com and use the promo code back. Casper.com, use the promo code back. and that way you'll save $50
Starting point is 01:11:20 on select mattresses if you use the promo code back. Casper.com, terms and conditions do apply. Looking for a great Father's Day present? Then bring the whole family to the Rights and Responsibilities exhibition presented by the Mercury Museum. Take a glimpse of what the world was like
Starting point is 01:11:37 before men had rights and tyrants rule. Join us Father's Day weekend, June 15th through the 17th, here at Mercury Studios in Dallas. Get your tickets at Mercury1.org slash Museum 2018. So last night we had, oh, I don't even know, about 400 people here last night, you know, some VIPs that came in to see the museum before we opened it up to the public. People were a little surprised on how dark it is at the beginning, because we're showing you what life is not only like living under a tyrant in the past, but also what, It's like currently living for a tyrant. And it's a little dark.
Starting point is 01:12:24 There is a pass-through. If you don't want to bring your kids to that portion of it, you know, just depends on how sensitive they are. There's some pretty disturbing things in that opening few minutes of the museum. But it's great. We would love to have you here. One of the things that the VIPs didn't get a sea last night, they saw a trunk that is all locked up that has been.
Starting point is 01:12:48 flown in from Illinois and the key was supposed to arrive separately. So nobody had the key to the trunk and could open it. Unfortunately, we haven't found the key yet. And so one way or another, we're opening at 11 o'clock today, whether it takes a locksmith or if the key arrives. But we're opening up today, and that'll be 11 o'clock Central, 12 o'clock. Eastern and we'll do it on Facebook live on both the Blaze and Glenn Beck. We're really excited. I mean, I can't imagine what it's going to be like to open up a trunk and reach in and pull the
Starting point is 01:13:33 Gettysburg address out, you know, the handwritten Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg address. Incredible. Pretty incredible. I mean, we've, you know, we've done these museums before, but nothing like this. I mean, this is, it's three or four times as much as that we've ever had before. for. And we've, you know, there's always been great items. But I mean, this is really, there's so much to explore, too. It's not, I kind of like about it is that you kind of have the idea of it's not just a few things you can kind of walk up to and read about. Like, you can go through
Starting point is 01:14:03 like these things and find your own, uh, find your own history, which is really cool. Yeah. Anyway, uh, it's happening here if you'd like to see it. We're also having a big dinner tonight. Tickets are still available. This one is a little pricey. Uh, but all the proceeds go to rescuing slaves, but it's dinner and a movie tonight here at the studios and a private tour. If you'd like to go, sorry, the mercury one.org slash museum 2018. Glenn back. Attention, earthlings. This is not a test. This is the activation of the climate emergency system. Again, this is not a test. The Berkeley City. Council has declared this climate emergency.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Now, maybe you've been living under Iraq and you didn't already know that a state of climate emergency already exists, but if you don't know something about it, like, now, like, I don't, where have you been? How, I mean, how do you not know? According to the foremost authority on climate doom, the Berkeley City. Council. Now, Stu, I'm a doctor, so I may get into this
Starting point is 01:15:23 and talk above people's heads because I'm a, you know, I'm a doctor. Sure. Yeah. But can you give me the qualifications of the Berkeley City Council on their climate? Yes. Masters in climatology. Really?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Yep. Doctorate in physics. Really? And just, they stated a holiday in express last night. Wow. Okay. I didn't realize they were that. Okay. So according to the Berkeley City Council and the experts
Starting point is 01:15:53 that you just heard Stu outline, they have declared emergency as dire as World War II. City council member Shera DeVia, she warns that global warming is driving us toward the sixth mass extinction of the species, which could devastate much
Starting point is 01:16:11 of life on Earth for the next 10 million years. Now, I feel uncomfortable making predictions that are a year out, but I'm not one of the experts in the Berkeley City Council talking about the end of all civilization and serious ramifications for the next 10 million years. But they're not afraid to say it. City Council Resolution says, during World War II, I'm quoting, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender, and other. differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization building and repairing Liberty ships converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities now I stew I again I am I'm not an
Starting point is 01:17:04 I'm a doctor but I'm not an expert but would you say that during World War II the people in the Pacific coast you know in the Bay area that they did come together across all race lines? Oh, it was a time of racial harmony, Glenn. Was it? Oh, my gosh. Because I thought that we rounded up all of the Japanese in the Bay Area. Well, they were, yes, they were, the, the harmony existed in a camp, yes, but
Starting point is 01:17:34 okay, all right, good, okay. The Berkeley City Council says the only way to avert World War II level disaster is if Americans mobilize in the same way to confront climate change as we did in 1942. to confront Nazism because climate change and Nazism are definitely the same. I don't think I...
Starting point is 01:18:00 No, please. This is at a climate emergency. I can give you an example because we're on the emergency climate system. You know what the Nazis did. I don't have to tell you what that is. You can look at that at the museum here. I mean, they can see that. Bad. And what the climate is doing is very similar. For example, New York Times just
Starting point is 01:18:17 reported that they believe now that the ice melting around Antarctica has now led to three tenths of one inch of of sea level rise. So I mean if you think of three tenths of one inch
Starting point is 01:18:33 or the Holocaust, which one would you? I mean, they're basically the same. You could certainly see how it's pretty much how you can almost not tell the difference. They could have gone together really well because water would have put out the fires of the ovens. Well, there you go. But.
Starting point is 01:18:50 It's a little dark, but yes, there you go. Well, yeah. And it was probably not enough water at three tenths of an inch. Yes, no, you're definitely not. The Berkeley City Council says the only way to avoid is to mobilize. It gets worse. The resolution calls our current climate change emergency, and I'm quoting, I could not be on the emergency broadcast system,
Starting point is 01:19:12 the emergency climate broadcast system and say this if it weren't true. The Berkeley City Council has declared this. the greatest crisis in history. Now, here's where it really gets good. They have to, I mean, this is right out of the Galactic Empire Handbook. They say you have to mobilize workers to build and install renewable energy infrastructure. Berkeley says it wants to become a carbon sink by 2030. Well, a sink is in the same room as the crapper,
Starting point is 01:19:50 I have a feeling you'll be probably better off predicting that you're going to be the crapper. For the initiated, what a carbon sink means is they want the city's greenhouse gas emissions to be negative, which is kind of hard to do
Starting point is 01:20:07 to have a negative carbon footprint. You know, you have to be Amish without any farms. there's a trick to that yeah there is because you can't truck anything in you can't use any pesticides or anything else but you also can't have any animals to help you plow fields or anything else it's going to be a fun life it's going to be great and here's the good news is they want it done in the next 12 years so but by the way that's not their only strategy I mean this is a climate emergency one of the biggest
Starting point is 01:20:45 no I'm sorry the biggest in history so they've got to take some actions Their resolution also mentions that Earth has too many people screwing up the atmosphere. So we must, quote, humanely stabilize the population. That's weird because we have the museum going on. And I've read a lot about stabilizing the population because there were too many insects that were infesting the Soviet Union or too many, you know, too many undesirables infesting Europe. But I'm sure this time, yeah, I'm sure this time it's going to be completely humane. It's Friday, June 15th.
Starting point is 01:21:37 This is the Glenback program. Brad Plumbo. He is a editorial intern with young voices. He is really, really bright. He has written a piece for glenbeck.com. he is a, to quote Phil Henry, a gay man and a gay journalist. And he's written his article as a student from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, about the ruling of the Supreme Court on,
Starting point is 01:22:11 does a baker have to make a wedding cake for a gay couple? And we welcome you to the program. Brad, how are you, sir? Hey, thanks for having me on. Good. So we really enjoyed your article and wanted to give you some additional exposure here. Tell us your thoughts on the Supreme Court's ruling. Yeah, absolutely. So I really felt very strongly about this issue coming towards the masterpiece case from the perspective of a gay libertarian. I felt really strongly that if we're
Starting point is 01:22:43 going to live in a free society, there have to be things both in life and in business that we can object to and say that violates our conscience. So I don't agree with the Christian Baker, but I think that he has to have that right to say, I'm not going to provide that service, because it violates my conscience, because I want that right for myself. You know, I wouldn't want to bake a cake that had homophobic verses on it. So, Brad, let me play something. This is from campus reform, where they're talking to students about bakers having to make a gay wedding cake. And I would love to get your response, seeing that you are also
Starting point is 01:23:21 a millennial. Listen. I think you should have to make the cake because it's his job. The fact that our Supreme Court found that this was an okay thing, I find a polling. If his job is to bake a cake for a wedding, even if he doesn't agree with it, he should still have to bake a cake for that wedding. Do you think that
Starting point is 01:23:37 he should be forced to make a cake for a gay wedding? I definitely think so. People have a right to eat the cake that they want to eat. Yeah, I mean, I feel like he should have to. He should have to make a because it's his job. If there were an African-American baker and someone came in and asked them to make a cake for a KKK rally, should they be forced to do it? I'm going to say no. But they're a baker. It's their job, right? Well, yeah, no. I mean, like, they shouldn't, but like, I guess that kind of just, like, contradicts what I just said. As for his religion, I think that his ability to exercise his...
Starting point is 01:24:19 freedom and religion ends when that encroaches on another person's ability to be who they are. So, Brad, give us hope, please. Can you give us hope in the millennial generation? Yeah, absolutely. So I'll say that not all of us are that constitutionally illiterate. You know, there's no constitutional right to eat cake. No, I believe Stu is right that is buried in the cake clause. I would support an amendment on that.
Starting point is 01:24:49 direction. I mean, I'm not opposed to that. But what I'll say is, listen, obviously these guys don't understand. I know it's a gotcha video, so they're picking the worst, but these people, these young people that were questioned, don't understand that you can't have the best of both worlds. If you don't want a Jewish tattoo artist to have to make a Nazi symbol on someone, if you don't want a gay baker to have to make a cake with anti-gay Bible verses, then the people you don't like have to have those rights to. You know, you can't have it both ways. Either everyone has the right to ideological exception or no one does.
Starting point is 01:25:28 So that's what we've got to decide, and I think this case decided it correctly. So, Brad, I really truly believe that the move to socialism, collectivism, and away from libertarian and American Bill of Rights is only because they have not heard these ideas. has expressed them. Nobody's asked them the question. It was clear that none of these people had been asked that question or even thought that way. So there is no pushback mentally in their life. Is that the case, or do they, or is there a real movement because people really believe it and they know what they're talking about?
Starting point is 01:26:11 Well, I would agree with you that many of these young people probably have not been exposed to the libertarian conservative argument. and I think there's two problems that are causing that. One would be the hyper-bias nature of our higher education system. You know, many of them are probably college students, but liberal professors outnumber conservative professors by some estimates five to one, by some estimates 12-to-one. So, you know, I'm a college student, I can attest to this well. They're only hearing one side of the story.
Starting point is 01:26:38 The other side is social media. They create an echo chamber where they only see less friendly content. So that's one of the things that I try to do as a writer and activist is to bring conservative ideas to young people. You know, we have a museum going on here, and it's all about the Bill of Rights, and David Barton was talking about the freedom of religion, and he said it's actually way too narrow to define it that way.
Starting point is 01:27:06 He said, they chose the word religion, he said, but that's not the way they referred to it. And he said, I wish they would have used the real word, and that is freedom of conscience. And that is at the cruxed of the issue here. It's being made about evil religion, but it's actually about freedom of conscience that all of us have to have that right.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Because the question is, how do we stop bigots from using their religion as excuses to not serve people? Well, it doesn't matter if they're a bigot or not, does it? I would say that obviously it matters whether they're a bigot or not. You know, that's not good to be a bigot, but it's the law and their constitutional rights. Correct. They still have those same rights.
Starting point is 01:27:56 You know, you have to have rights for the people you disagree with if you want them for yourself. So I would agree that it is absolutely a question of freedom of conscience, but it's also a question of freedom of speech. Because in this case, what's really at issue is expressive conduct. And what the court really had to answer was, can't. a gay couple force a Christian Baker to violate his conscience and create something that's expressive and conveys a message he disagrees with? And I think the answer has to be known because I wouldn't want to have the reverse happen to me. Wouldn't you say, though, if they do, that that lessens your ability to live your life free and, you know, without having anybody discriminate
Starting point is 01:28:41 against you? I would I would not say that directly, you know, because there is no shortage of people willing to bake gay cakes. They could have gone anywhere. And I actually think that this decision is, in a way, a win for gay rights, right?
Starting point is 01:28:57 Because it protected freedom of conscience narrowly, but it did. And, you know, gay people, more than anyone, should understand how important it is to have the right to discuss my idea if you disagree with. Yes. Because we went through years of discrimination,
Starting point is 01:29:09 years where we couldn't get married, years where we'd have our children taken away just for being gay. So we should appreciate these constitutional rights more than anyone. We shouldn't be assaulting them. First of all, I would just like to propose when we're talking about gay cakes. We use the term gake. I think it's a good summary. You write in your story, Brad, if anything, this decision didn't go far enough. The court ruled 7-2 in the favor of the baker, but it was a narrow ruling in scope.
Starting point is 01:29:33 It didn't hand down any broad declarations protecting free speech or individual conscience rights. a broader pro-liberty decision would have done more to advance individual freedom. Surely, you write, the gay community can appreciate the necessity of individual freedom and importance of protecting the First Amendment and right to dissent from ideas you agree with. You use the word surely. How sure are you on that one? Well, you know, I say that's how I think they should feel. Obviously, that's not how the majority of LGBT people probably feel.
Starting point is 01:30:05 But I will say that there are much more than you think. You know, I write and I tweet about conservative LGBT perspectives all the time, and there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way that I do coming from that perspective. But it really is true. This decision didn't go far enough. It only talked about the specifics of this case. I really would like to see the court, and they probably will have to in the future, address this issue in a broader sense, and hand down a broad decision that protects conscious rights,
Starting point is 01:30:31 for Christian bakers, for bigoted people, and for everyone. Because that's what a free society looks like. It's a great story. It's up at Glembeck.com. The masterpiece cake shop ruling is actually a win for LGBT rights. Brad, can I just get your buy-in and endorsement of the term gake? Yeah, absolutely. You know, that sounds delicious.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Thanks, Brad, thanks a lot. And thanks for a great story. And thank you for standing up for liberty and doing your homework to know what you actually believe. In other words, thanks for not being a moron. You're welcome. Thanks so much. Yeah, by the way, that poll we talked about earlier, 36% of LGBTQI. I think it was only LGBTQ in this particular poll, but 36% identified themselves as moderate or conservative. It's not a, we look at this as like, it's not a block.
Starting point is 01:31:21 Yeah, it's not a block. I mean, unless Kathy Griffin has something to do with it, then. Oh, gosh, we should talk about that. Yeah, we got to talk about that. When we come back. First, let me tell you about Tika Tawari. He was in yesterday. Did you get a chance to see Tika?
Starting point is 01:31:33 No. Yeah, he was in yesterday. day. I spent about 20 minutes with him. We're so wrapped up in so many other things, but I just saw him in the hallway and I said, hey, Tika, I got to talk to you. A little freak out about the digital currency. And I asked him to be on the show next week because he, man, did he make me feel better? Really? Yeah. And he has, he has examples from history on why you should feel really good about it right now. But anyway, Tika is an expert. He was a Wall Street trader for a long time. And And then he started seeing the writing on the wall and in high tech and cryptocurrency.
Starting point is 01:32:09 It was like, this is the future. He came in as a consultant for us to try to teach us exactly what Bitcoin is and how it works and everything else as we were trying to explain it to you. About halfway through the meeting, I said, could you just make this available to our audience? Could we just put a course together? So he has. It's called smartcryptocourse.com, smartcryptocourse.com. If you want to understand the ins and the outs of cryptocurrency, call now 877 PBL back.
Starting point is 01:32:37 877 PBL back. Get more information at smartcryptocourse.com. The intellectual dark web is apparently nothing more than a guy's for Nazis. Thank you. Finally. Somebody says it. Right. Organizers, this is from the Gothamist.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Organizers of a panel celebrating self-identified members of the intellectual dark web, a very serious circle mostly consisting of men who really don't want you to call them alt-right, have persuaded a few real-life intellectuals into joining them on stage for a day of reflection at the Lincoln Center. New Yorker contributor and author Marcia Gessen tells the Gothamist that she was shocked to learn late last night that an event she'd agreed to speak at is actually an alt-right crap show. Hosted by racism debunking podcaster Dave Rubin. Come on.
Starting point is 01:33:47 I mean, at least try. Dave Rubin, Dave Rubin was as left as you could come. I mean, he was on the young Turks. He was on the young Turks. He had an awakening and went, and crap, I'm not a Republican, but I'm not a progressive either. I think I believe in the Constitution
Starting point is 01:34:09 and the rights that that guarantees. Dave Rubin's going to be joining us next week. You don't want to miss it. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the program. Really glad that you are here today. Welcome to Mr. Pat Gray from the Pat Gray radio roundup and his orchestra,
Starting point is 01:34:35 which begins in the... 25 minutes. Mm-hmm. So, it's, it barely fits on the letterhead. Yeah. That entire title.
Starting point is 01:34:44 Yeah. But it's worth it because it's a powerful, powerful name of a show. Yeah. Even the begins in 25 minutes as part of the show title. It is. Yeah. It is.
Starting point is 01:34:51 Yeah. It is weird because it only works like right now. Right now. Right now. But that's when we expect people to use the letterhead. Right. Is right now. All right.
Starting point is 01:35:02 So Pat. Yes. Welcome to the program. How are you? I'm good. I was excited about the, about the museum last night. I couldn't believe that,
Starting point is 01:35:09 but I forget that you do your own homework and you're busy on your show because I have, he came up to me, you were there. Were you there with him? No. He was standing there,
Starting point is 01:35:20 but not with you at the time. And Pat came up to me and he said, this Thomas Jefferson thing changes everything. Changes everything. How do we not know about it? And we've been talking about it on the air this week, but you must have missed it. But I feel the same exact way.
Starting point is 01:35:36 with Stu and I who are looking at it, what, 10 days ago? Mm-hmm. And Stu's like, look at these words. Why are these capitalized? And we start reading them. We're like, wait, wait, what? It's absolutely incredible. It's the exact opposite of everything taught about the person.
Starting point is 01:35:53 Right. Disproved in his own handwriting in the Declaration of Independence first draft. Now, there's going to be a lot of pushback because he was a slave owner. But what we're talking about is that he was a real strong abolitionist. Strong, strong abolitionist. And people will say, well, he had slaves. If he's such an abolitionist, how'd he own slaves? Well, first of all, you couldn't free your slaves in Virginia.
Starting point is 01:36:17 It was illegal to free your slaves. Even upon your death in Thomas Jefferson's time in 1826, you couldn't free your slaves upon your death. If you were in debt, especially. If you're in debt, in fact, before that, it didn't matter if you're in debt or not. Right. That's why George Washington freed his slaves on death because in Virginia, that's the only way you could free people. They're like, yeah, he did it only when he died.
Starting point is 01:36:45 Yes, because they tried to change the law and tried to change the law. And in the Declaration of Independence First draft, it says the king thwarted us every step of the way. Yeah. So they got it on death that you could free your slaves. but then after that happened with George Washington, I think they changed it. Yeah, it was that law was revoked. Right.
Starting point is 01:37:09 So. And then especially if you were in debt, if you were in debt before the law had been changed, if you were in debt and you died, you couldn't free your slave because that was asset. I don't think it's unfair to read that document and say that the main reason he wanted to break away from England was slavery. I think that's true.
Starting point is 01:37:29 That's how, that's how overwhelming it is. It's visceral. He's capital. capitalizing letters that you could see. I mean, and it's he is insulting. It's not just, you know, here's an interesting argument about the constitution we're about to create. No, it's like he's pissed off. It's like it's like a tweet. Yeah. It is. It is. I've never seen. I've never heard of this. I've never seen it. There are several things. Did you see of the, the Eastland, the SS Eastland
Starting point is 01:38:01 thing from Woodrow Wilson about the 10th Amendment. at the end of the museum? Yeah. I mean, there's stuff that you've never known, and it completely turns everything upside down. You look at the Declaration of Independence, and people always say, how can that man, how could he possibly write all men are created equal,
Starting point is 01:38:23 and then not see slaves even as men? And we've always had to dance around and go, well, but it was a different time, and he did, and he wanted to free the slaves. Why didn't he put it in the Constitution? He did. He put it in the Declaration of Independence. And because John Hancock had said beforehand, you know, almost quoting Ben Franklin,
Starting point is 01:38:50 guys, we all better hang together or we're certainly going to hang separately. They knew if they broke up the 13 colonies, if they weren't in lockstep, the king would start to meddle. with one of the colonies or two, and he would... Whoever dissented. Whoever dissented, and he would throw the whole thing out of line, and it would be over, and they'd all be dead. So they had to have unanimous consent.
Starting point is 01:39:20 That's before the draft. So Thomas Jefferson goes, and they say, you have to draft the Declaration of Independence. He said, great, you know, what ideas were we going to cover, and, you know, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They go through the usurpations, things the king had done, the reason why they have to break away, all of them are one line. Oh, yeah, and he's raping our children.
Starting point is 01:39:41 Oh, yeah, and he's taking our houses. Oh, yeah, and he's arresting people and they just disappear and we don't know where they are. One line. When he gets to slavery, it's a passionate paragraph. You have ever heard the line, because I know God is just, I tremble for my country? That was Thomas Jefferson's response. when this failed. When this failed,
Starting point is 01:40:08 he started to write nasty things about not just the Carolinas and Georgia, but also he started writing nasty things about the cowardice of others. Like the North. Like the North that wouldn't stand up.
Starting point is 01:40:24 It's incredible. So the guy who was one of the most passionate abolitionists at the writing of the Declaration of independence. He's known as the fly in the owingman. As a bad guy, really. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:40:42 So often people consider him just a bad guy. And at best, they consider him a real complicated guy because he was, he has the American Sphinx. Uh-huh. No. No, he really wasn't. He was stuck in a situation he couldn't get out of, but he hated the situation. And he fought against it.
Starting point is 01:41:02 Against it. It's the most clear cut stuff. I know how he fought in Virginia, but I've never been able to reconcile the Declaration of Independence. I've never been able to say, all men are created equal, and I've never been comfortable with, well, they didn't consider them men.
Starting point is 01:41:20 And I thought, well, you know, I got to give him. No, that's why one of the words in this visceral, visceral writing of Thomas Jefferson, He capitalizes the word men. Now, think of this. Back in the days of slavery, they were slaves. They were not men. They were African-American or they were blacks.
Starting point is 01:41:41 They were not men. They were Africans. Africans, they were savages, right? They were definitely not men. He capitalizes. He says the so-called Christian king goes over to another country, takes captives. Take captives its native.
Starting point is 01:42:02 and they have never done anything wrong against him. He ships them to another hemisphere if they make it through the grueling and horror of the journey. And then he takes these capital letters, men, and puts them for sale on the open market. It's completely open and shut. It's unbelievable. It is incredible.
Starting point is 01:42:29 He talks about how one of his basic, his main objection to the king is that he wants to continue a market of men being bought and sold and claims to be a Christian. How, you know, how you, you wonder how the general public doesn't know that, but I, I'm really ashamed, I don't know that. Yeah. Having, I was the founder since the 80s. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:54 And certainly intensely since the 2000s and ever since we've been together in 2009, until today and then just this week we're hearing this information. It's amazing. And we only... You know, the only reason we found it? Stu! I've had that copy of the Declaration of Independence. It's from 1821. It's an engraving
Starting point is 01:43:15 of the first copy. I've had that for I don't even know how long, how many years I've had that. And I never noticed those two words until I was standing, Stu was reading it, I was on the other side of the document and he says, look at this, and he's got a pointing.
Starting point is 01:43:34 And I noticed for the very first time these two capitalized words. And I think you said, why are these capitalized? I think was the first. That's what drew me in. Honestly, I probably wouldn't even notice it if it wasn't capitalized. What? That's how crazy it is. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:43:49 And you know. What an effective job they've done. Hiding this. You aren't kidding. Man. Burying it. You aren't kidding. And then repositioning him.
Starting point is 01:43:59 And you know why? Do you know why? I really believe it makes sense now. Why they stick Thomas Jefferson out as the slaveholder? Can you think? The theory. Can you think of? Because he's the one who actually wrote all men are created equal and endowed by their creator.
Starting point is 01:44:24 So if you want to discredit that, you have to discredit the author and you have to discredit the author. and you have to discredit him in a way where you say he didn't even believe that. And that's what they've done. To discredit the Declaration of Independence, you have to show that the guy who wrote it was a liar. It's incredible. You really have to almost admire their evil work over the years. It's true.
Starting point is 01:44:55 Pretty thorough and impressive. When we were talking about the progressists and we were really doing our work, We said that a lot. You've got to admire this. This is impressive the way they have just dismantled this country and our history. Amazing. Anyway, put it back to you. Have you read some of the other stuff in there?
Starting point is 01:45:14 Have you read the Thomas Payne letter yet? No. Oh, you've got to read the Thomas Payne letter. So much good stuff here this weekend. Oh, it's so good. And the Lincoln stuff is great too. Which came from the Lincoln Library, right? Not the stuff that's out.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Really? The stuff that came from the Lincoln. Lincoln Library is still in that case in my office. Oh yeah, it has to get to room temperature. Glenn lost the key. I did not lose the key. I did not lose the key. He's claiming he didn't lose the key, but where's the key? Does Glenn have the key? No, Glenn does not have the key.
Starting point is 01:45:43 I did not lose the key. We do not know who has the key. What's in the box? The Gettysburg Address. Oh, don't worry about that. Are you kidding me? I did not lose the key. You're telling what? The Lincoln Museum lost the key. know who lost the key. I blame it on Federal Express because the key was sent by itself
Starting point is 01:46:05 so nobody had the key. Now, I'm going, I'm leaving the studio. We're taking, we're going on Facebook live on the blaze and glenbeck.com and I'm going into my office and if this is so Glyndecke and so if the key isn't there
Starting point is 01:46:21 then I think we have to call a locksman because the museum opens in an hour. Yeah. And so I think we have to call a locksmith, but I don't know. I mean, it would be a real honor if you knew it was good. But I'm not sure that if I call a locksmith and say, hey, I need you to open a giant security case.
Starting point is 01:46:47 You know, so we can get the Gettysburg address out. I'm not sure that they will, I believe it or think it's right to do. Because it could seem like you're just in the middle of a Nicholas case. movie. It might feel that way just just a little bit. So, and I did call the Lincoln Museum yesterday and said,
Starting point is 01:47:12 okay, the good news is we haven't lost the Gettysburg Address yet. Well, you haven't checked outside the studio yet. I haven't checked that box. I haven't checked that box. Might already be gone. More on this, Pat Gray unleashed today. Listen to it on the Blaze Radio and TV networks.

Starting point is 01:49:10 is here. Oh, great. What do you think? Just asking for etiquette purposes. Mm-hmm. Is it bad to say, so do you have the key? Yes.
Starting point is 01:49:25 Yes. That would be bad. That would be very bad. All right. Okay. You should instead. We just got word a minute ago that the key is on its way and it's UPS, not Federal Express.
Starting point is 01:49:35 It is on its way. It's just a bit delayed or lost in transit, and it's on its way. The original copy of the Gettysburg address, the key is lost. No, it's, no. It's in transit. It's absolutely.
Starting point is 01:49:54 Well, I guess I guess. Look at me. Let me. Pretend you're the guy who just loaned us the Gettysburg address. Okay. Hey, here's the, I loaned you the Gettysburg address. Yeah. Alan. Key's in transit. It's about here. So you've, so you've lost the key. No, no, no, no. I, so okay. So you know where the key is then. Absolutely. It's in transit. You do. Yeah. Okay. Where? In a truck. In a truck. Where's the truck? Or the car. Look, I, I, did you bring a key? There's no way to have this conversation with him in work. Because the reverse of the,
Starting point is 01:50:33 word lost would mean someone knowing where it was. Right. And you don't know that. So it's lost. Yes. Okay. So anyway, no it is. So anyway, just watch the, we're not going to go live here because what makes you believe
Starting point is 01:50:49 the Gettysburg address is actually in the box? Alan is here. Yeah, but Alan, Alan trusted you with it. Yeah, but Alan could have actually had it in his safe back at home and he's, then he's here to open it up and go, I am shocked.
Starting point is 01:51:02 I blame it on Alan. Join us. We'll see you this weekend. If you can make it at the Mercury Museum all this weekend, Mercury Studios in Dallas. Mercury1.org.
