This is how crazy and desperate. Yesterday I posted something about Project Veritas. I said, this is the most important story, possibly one of the top three stories of the year. I think it's the most important story. because it's showing how Google is trying to manipulate you, what their plans are to control, control information, and to control and program people. It is a very important story.

I had so many people write back or tweet, oh, yeah, right, like you're not talking about the woman who Donald Trump raped. Are you kidding me? You believe this? Here's the Trump accuser on CNN. with Anderson Cooper, who knows he's in the Titanic. He's standing on the part of the Titanic that snaps in half. He knows he's like, I got to get to a lifeboat.

We're going to take a break. I got to get to a lifeboat. And she just makes it worse. Listen to this. You don't feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground and ravished. The word raped carries so many sexual connotation. This was not sexual.

It just, it hurt. It just, you know. I think most people think of rape as a, I mean, it is a violent assault. I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break. I'm on the Titanic. We've got to take a quick break, if you can stay around. We'll talk more on the other side.

You're fascinating to talk to. Oh my gosh, that was creepy. You're fascinating to talk to. Would you have a rape fantasy about me right now? What was that? Very strange. Very strange. Now, she also has the clothing, and she's never worn the clothing since.

The clothing she was wearing on the day that she was supposedly raped by Trump. Violately raped by Donald Trump. Okay. So here she is about, well, you have it. Let's take it in for DNA testing. Listen. The mayor of New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio, who of course is running against President Trump, has said that if you were to bring a case forward, if he will pursue it.

he will have the New York City Police Department pursue it. So do you want to pursue this? It is the greatest police department in the world. The detectives are great in New York. The thing is, it's past the time. It's experts. I've been talking to experts, and they say that we've passed the legal. Yes, thank you.

Yes, there was a statute of limitations in place at the time that this happened in late 1995 or 96. That has since changed. And Mayor de Blasio, when he heard your story, said that he would, pursue on your behalf an investigation. And so you have the dress that you were wearing. I'm sure still have the tights. But would you consider doing that? I consider it, but the experts are telling me that...

So you've consulted lawyers? Yeah. Well, they've written to me. I've never consulted a lawyer in my life. It's not something I would do. They have, you know, emailed me to tell me that, you know, as you say, the statute of limitations has passed because... I don't know the legal.

I don't want to say what, you know, because I don't know what it is. You might be lying. I'm just saying you might be lying. Does it seem, does it seem, I've heard people speculate that maybe she is a little, maybe, tipsy on this particular interview? I mean, she's certainly slurring words and such. I don't, I don't, look, I don't, okay. So I've talked to experts.

I've talked to many experts. And they all say the same thing. And they tell me straight up. They say whatever you get out of this conversation. I want you to remember, I don't remember what they said out of that. But they told me stuff. and I'm telling you, it's past the time. I mean, by my book.

Right. Yeah, I guess that's the point. That's really it. Why would you tell a story like this at this time? Yeah. But you go 20 years, 25 years, without telling the story about this, you know, alleged assault. Oh, okay. We were at Bergdorf Goodman's.

Yeah, Bergdorf Goodman's. Is that what you said? Bergdorf Goodman's. And we're there. and he was touching lingerie in a very rapy sort of way okay and he came up to me and said hey was you trying this lingerie on for me and I said well that's kind of a strange a strange request because usually people don't like to try on like underwear and stuff you You don't usually do that.

And there is nobody around. And so I said, okay, I'll just go into this room. Would you like to be there while I change in into the sluggeree? And he said, would I? And I said, right. And so he was. And he was, I distinctly remember he was wearing a trench coat or a overcoat. Over.

Or a big long, I mean, it's just his tie was in the way of his Wii. So I couldn't tell that he opened up his fly. But I knocked a lot of people

and it happens. Right. Yeah, good. That's an amazing. I just, it does not seem to hold up to the very basic levels of,

of a credibility check. Yeah. Because, I mean, because a couple things. Number one. You are releasing this book 25 years later, what's your purpose of that, right? Just to tell the story randomly?

No, because you... Truth? Well, true, okay. No, because I mean, you want people to know the truth about Donald Trump, right? Money. Truth. All right. You want people to know the truth about Donald Trump, that he's

this really bad guy. Right? Yes. Okay. So you want that to happen. What you have now is the mayor of the city who could actually look into this is telling you, we will look into this. Now, despite whether he actually can or not. He doesn't

understand the law. Like the people that emailed you that you didn't consult. I got a text message. Yeah. Just a little while. But he added advantage here. And this is a miracle situation. If you're in this situation, you're writing a book. You're trying to obviously let people know the truth

about this awful person who's a president of the United States and up for election and all these things is the mayor of the city is also running for president against this person. So he is incredibly motivated to find anything negative about Donald Trump. Here's the, here's what says it all.

Let me go and reframe this CNN interview with Anderson Cooper. Play this again. You don't feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground and ravished. Never heard of me. If one raped carries so many sexual connotations. This was not, this was not sexual.

Stop for just saying. Just stop for saying. Listen to her. When you start, let's say, Like this? Play it again. Because she's like, this is, this is not sexual. This was horrible. Listen to her.

You don't feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground and ravished. Not ravished. The word raped carries so many sexual connotations. This was not, this is not sexual. It just, it hurt. It just, you know. I think most people think of raping as a, I mean, it is a violent.

I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break. No, listen. Let's take a short break. If you can sit around, we'll talk about it. You're fascinating to talk to. Okay. So now, what would I do in that situation?

What would any journalist that was really trying to get to the truth do in that situation? What? Tell me that. Well, the journalist. do. You just hammered it out of his mind. What is the one thing you would never do at that moment? I mean, take a break.

You'd never take a break. You'd say, I know I'm supposed to take a break here. But hold on just a second. You have her on the ropes. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You think you have now a chance to take her apart because it's all starting.

to unravel. The last thing you do, unless you're part of the defense of this woman, not prosecution, or looking for the truth, if you're part of the defense, you immediately go, Your Honor, we need to recess. Yeah, I mean, you can make the argument, look, it's a woman who's claiming to be, you know, claiming to be raped. And usually those people are not attacked in an interview. However, if it was a Republican who, you know, if it was, you know, Roy Moore who's on the air and he's being pressed and he says something like that. Like that's not going to be just like, forget about politics for a second. Yeah. If you are trying to find the truth, you don't take a four minute break where one of her handlers can come up to her and go,

um, you, uh, we should end this interview. Right. Or you're looking. Right. You're looking. You do not do that. Yeah. I mean, you can make the argument. It's not political, I think, as you are and that it's a gentle treatment of someone who says they were assaulted. However, I think when it comes down to it, on the other side, that would not be the treatment by most of the media. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it wouldn't. All right.

All right, let's go to Sandy. Hello, Sandy.

Hi. Sandy, are you okay? You're right? You just brought up a lot of memories today as I'm listening to the program. Really? Yeah. I'm sorry to do that. What exactly happened?

I would just like to report a credible accusation of assault against the president of the United States. Okay. Against, with you, you were assaulted by... I was assaulted by Donald Trump. Okay. And I've never told the story before. All right. It happened on September 31st, 1938.

Yes. I, I, uh, okay. Was Donald Trump even? September 31st, 1938, here I am. I'm standing at an Apple store, and I'm purchasing an iPad. Okay, there's no... And I'm... And I look behind the genius bar, and there's Donald Trump.

O'Easy, you've heard him say he's one of the most brilliant geniuses in the world. It's true. I saw him at the genius bar. And I thought he was going to help me with my purchase. And instead, he put his hands on me. He began to strangle me. He began to strangle you. Yes. And then...

Wow. And then it happened. Donald Trump murdered me. This is terrible. Well, hang on. And I've never told this story before. Okay. And he murdered me right in the middle of the Apple store.

Okay. What date did this happen? Because you were very... September 31st, 1938. Okay. Donald Trump was born June 14th, 1946. Oh. Is that what he's saying now?

No, that's what is... Let me tell you something. hashtag believe all women. Okay, but I just want to tell you that he was... Look it up. Look up the date right now. You'll see. Look on your calendar. September 31st, 1938. Check it out. September 31st.

1938. 31st. Yeah, September 31st. Yes, it was a leap year. No, I don't think that's how it works. Just stop questioning me. Why? 1938. I was attacked.

I'm looking it up and they... And I can prove this, okay? I contemporaneously told three friends. You can temporary. Yes, at the time, I told three friends about the attack. You told three friends. Yes, Alyssa Milano, Ariana Huffington, and Alexandria Casio-Cortez.

They all know about it, ask them. Why won't you ask them? Because none of them were alive in 1930. You can read all about it in my book. Coming out right now. It's also, well, it's only available for people who are premium subscribers. They just have to purchase the membership. And then if they pledge,

a certain amount. Oh, no, Donald Trump is killing me again. No, he's not. He's not. All right. Well, we've lost, I think we've lost Sandy.

But it was a, it was a thrilling tale of her murder. September 31st, 1938. Of course. One other thing on this, Glenn,

I would like to get your individual perspective. Oh, hi, Stu. You happened, oh, hi. You missed a conversation with me and Sandy. Sorry,

I was in the best. This is the best of the Lenbeck program. Last night on TV, we did our socialist spotlight, which is always fun to do the socialist spotlight because there are a few socialists out there. And I'm going to give you the update on the socialist that we highlighted yesterday. She's not really a socialist. I don't think she believes in anything. And I make a pretty good, pretty strong case. She doesn't actually believe in anything. She's in a category really. of her own. How many people like that do you think there are up there, Stu? There's some real

ideologues. Some people who actually believe in stuff. Yeah, like the difference between Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand, they're saying a lot of the same things. Sanders is an ideologue. He's been, he went to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon famously. He actually believes this stuff. You know, Kirsten Jillibrand was known as a conservative in the house and all of a sudden is super liberal now. Like, O'Rourke, you can't tell what O'Rourke actually. believes. I mean, you know, he's, he's done the same thing. He's been all over the board depending on who he's in front of. What audience is he in front of? That's who he is. So there's a definite split there as well. As to who really, who's a true believer and who realizes the, you know,

the mood of the Democratic Party right now is moving to fit it. Okay. So I want to talk to a little bit about the poll numbers because the poll numbers show that Joe Biden is ahead. Joe Biden has, what, 30. It depends. Anywhere between 25 and 38 until he's joining up. So let's just say he's at 30. Sure. All right. Big lead. However, there are 22 other people

on the stand. Now, maybe, maybe it's just that when everybody else joins, you know, when everybody else is eliminated, Joe Biden will pick up a lot more points because there's a lot more people like him that people

have to choose from. But I don't think that's true because the people that are are acting like he is centrist um they all have zero so it's so it's it's it's like everybody who wants to be in the center who just wants to restore america to sanity as they would say i wouldn't say but as they would say um those people are about 35 percent 38 percent would you say maybe maybe 40 yeah i mean i mean i think there's a good opportunity to point that out and you're at Biden

you know let's say he has 30% who else is running as a moderate has any I mean Klobuchar has one or two Yang maybe one or two Hickenlooper 1 Bennett 1 or 0 Bullock 0 Delaney 0 Ryan

0 Molten 0 so you got if he's at 30 you have about 35 right now let's total up the number of the pitchfork people the people who literally want to overturn the system. Yeah, so there. The people who are talking about changing the Constitution, getting rid of the free market,

changing the structure of the Supreme Court. I mean, people who are talking about deep, foundational, and structural change. Yeah, I mean, so here's a very typical poll. This is from about a week or so ago, had Biden at 32, then Sanders at, 14. This one had actually worn at 15.

Okay. Then you have Kamala Harris, who would be in the very left side of this, at 8. You have... You've already surpassed. Right. You're already at.

You're already surprised. And again, like, after this, O'Rourke, you're going to put over on the left side as well, I think. Even though I think he's another one like Jillibrand, who doesn't really believe anything, but he's running certainly as a leftist. Then you have... Booker, same thing.

You put him over on the left. Yang, I think he'd put, he got 2% in that poll. You put him maybe on the more conservative or moderate sort of side. Again, these are all in quotes. These are Democrats we're talking about. Klobuchar you'd put over there with 1%. Gabbard, you'd have to put over on the left, 1%.

Then who else? Anyone else there? You got Bullock would be on the moderate side maybe. Oh, but he's at zero. So you can't count that as anything. everything. Jilla Brand also zero, which is amazing. I mean, this is, I mean,

she has just had a rough role. The one you might have a tough time placing at this point because he's given such little detail would be Buttigieg. Now, you know, Buttigieg is a guy who's saying I want to change the Supreme Court. He wants 15 Supreme Court justices. Right. So, and that is a radical

proposal. He advocated a 49.999% top rate in taxes. Now, again, on the Democratic side, where do you put that? I don't even know where to place that because as of the United States, that's a crazy proposal, right? It's a massive tax

increase. For Democrats, though, a lot of them are saying 70 and 80%. So I don't know if he's moderate or not, but I mean, I think you probably put him on the left side of this, though you could also just leave him in the middle. He's got another 5%. But if you add all this stuff up,

you're at 2937, 3940, 43, 48 on the left, and on the quote unquote moderate side, you've got 32 for Biden, but one for Klobuchar, 33, Yang 2, 35, and that's it. So really, like, you know,

it depends on how this breaks out. Biden, however, is, has a case to be, to make to the left, right? I mean, the guy was in the most progressive administration, arguably in history with Obama. I mean, you could certainly, there's other ways to argue that, but I mean, you could certainly make the case

that he did more leftist things than, any other president. He'd certainly be in the top three or four. He had a very progressive voting record coming into Congress as I think he was number one or two as far as the most liberal senators when he was put in his VP. Yes, he has some positions that are generally speaking old that they're trying to say, well, why did you believe this in 1981? Well, it was 1981. At the time, 1981, his positions were pretty liberal for 1981. It's just that they don't look so liberal now because it was a long time ago. People confused Biden's being moderate and just being old. He's just been around for a really long freaking

time. And he's a politician, unlike Sanders, who really is an ideologue. I mean, you know, Biden has somewhat conservative sounding quotes from his past because in the past, the Democrats were trying to portray themselves as were the middle of the road. Correct. Right. Like he was fitting the times, which, you know, I can understand. It goes with Kirsten Gillibrand. Yeah. I mean, if you're a Sanders supporter, that's not good enough for you. And I understand that. But I mean, once it comes down to Biden, you know, against a couple of people on the left, he's going to be able to make a pretty good argument. And remember, he was the one that announced the gay marriage acceptance for the Obama administration.

He'd be Barack to that. However, however, he is perceived. You have to put yourself into the way the Republicans felt. The Republicans had some good choices as well besides Donald Trump that would work within the system. That's not what they wanted. No. They wanted somebody that would not work in the system. They wanted Donald Trump. They wanted somebody to overturn the Apple Cart. I think that's the real choice. What you have to watch in these debates tonight are for the people who want to overturn the Apple Card, the

pitchfork Democrats, the ones who are not saying that Donald Trump is the problem. They're all going to say Donald Trump is the problem. But what they're going to say also, the pitchfork Democrats, is Donald Trump is a nightmare. We've got to get rid of Donald Trump. However, this system doesn't work. This financial system doesn't work, meaning the free market system. They may even come out and say that. We have to fundamentally transform this financial system. So the free market, they want to take and turn upside down. They want to turn our society upside down. They want to destroy the system that they think is broken and replace it with system X. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Joe Biden, on the other hand, is the kind of candidate who is saying, no, we don't need to destroy the system. Just need to get rid of essentially Trump. He's done lots of damage. If he come back to the Obama era, it would be great. Correct. And that approach didn't work with, with Mitt Romney in 12.

That approach is not going to, I think. think it's not going to work this time around. And the only reason, the only reason, I think Biden is perceived as, let me put it this way. Personally, Biden is the guy that I wouldn't want to be the presidential nominee because I think there's a chance that you get enough what we used to call blue dog Democrats, people who usually vote Democrat. But they couldn't vote for Hillary Clinton. Or see the Obama Trump voters. Correct. And the female Republican voters who just don't like Trump because they don't like how, you know, stylistically.

Stylistically, okay, that would look at Trump and Biden and say they're interchangeable, even though they're not. They're interchangeable. And I just feel more comfortable with him because he speaks, you know, softer, yada, yada, yada. I'm not sure how that ends up. I'm not sure how that ends up. So the one I'm afraid of is Joe Biden. However, I think the Democrats want to embrace this burn the entire thing down. Now is the time.

The left wants it. And the left is in charge. They're absolutely in charge. And so I think when you look at the numbers, what are the numbers again? When you add them all together. We're at 48 on the left, 35 moderate. Right.

But again, 32 of that is Biden. And that's the thing. You know, you can make, if you want to make a case for Biden here, getting through this, you can find one. I mean, if you look at the other side, because you're talking about, like, they wanted someone to turn over the system. That's why they went with Trump, right? If you look at the 2016 from another perspective, one of the things that kept happening was Donald Trump was sort of in his own wing, really the only person running in that area. he kept leading the polls forever and everyone kept saying, well, when these other candidates drop out and they start losing, they're going to coalesce behind somebody in that wing, the non-Donald Trump wing, and then Trump's going to lose. It was, you know, but like that didn't happen.

People just kept going over to Trump that he won relatively easily. But I wonder, that's because people think, I just want to win. I don't want the other side to win. I don't want Hillary to win. Okay. That's what that was. that's what the thing was. And I don't know that that is a strong enough pull for the radicals of the left.

Yeah. You know, for the millennials and everything else, they don't want to vote for Joe Biden. They want somebody that will stand up for their ideas. So Joe Biden may win, but it won't be the young and it won't be the radicals. It won't be that it won't be the passionate 10 or 15 percent at the bottom. bottom. They're not going to join. I just don't think they'll join. It's interesting because I think there's a thing going on on the right, generally speaking, where you're like, you're looking at these debates and you're like, I don't care. They're all

crazy leftists and I don't care. But it's like when you are, when your team has just won the championship game, okay, and you're going to the Super Bowl, you want to watch the other conference championship game because you want to see who it is. And sometimes it's difficult to pick who you would want. I mean, because I think Biden would be, there's a lot of people in that middle area, those Democrats that voted for Trump, who may be won over by Biden. Or those Republicans who generally vote for a Republican, but they can cross the aisle one way or another. And, of course, independence too, right? Yes.

That might be won over. Trump's best way to get elected is someone like Elizabeth Warren that scares those people. Yes. The people in the middle are like, holy crap, she wants to do what? Yes. I'm not in love with Trump, but I got to go with him. Correct. That's the easiest way for him to win.

However, it's also a high-risk thing to root for, someone who's in that Trump can beat. Because if you get a Warren or a Sanders in there, yeah, they might be easier for Trump to beat. But if he doesn't beat them, the entire country could really be transformed even more than when we sought with Obama. I mean, Sanders or Warren is like,

that is hardcore ideologue remaking the country. Oh, yeah, the country is, you'll have, you know, Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk. That's what we'll be running the country. And it will not be the same. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Like listening to this podcast? If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.

And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show. As we approach Independence Day, we wanted to do something very special and very different here at the Mercury Studios. We have a museum that is opening up this Saturday, and we invite you to come. It is called 12 score and three years ago, the unfinished promise of unity. And it starts in a slave ship. You will walk through a slave ship. And this also has, I don't know what you call it, augmented reality in it as well through the museum. You'll be able to experience things in a different way.

But before you get into the slave ship, we ask several questions. What is slavery caused from? What is the truth about slavery? What was American slavery any different than the slavery that was happening elsewhere in the world? Where was it happening? How many people came to America? How many people came to other parts of the world? Were we the worst offenders of this?

You're going to learn things that you have never heard before. and it's pretty stunning. But we also are doing then and now because I want to show you the patterns. When you learn from history, you can make sure that you don't repeat it. And so we have modern history side by side. And some of the things, I mean, walking out into our atrium here, we have probably the studios, how many square feet do you think that atrium is? I mean, I don't even know, 10,000 square feet, something more than that.

I mean, it's enormous this atrium in this building. It's a whole block long and four stories high, and it's pretty incredible in and of itself. Our atrium, I had to write a letter to the staff yesterday, apologizing. I said, I'm not usually one for trigger warnings, but these are understandable trigger warnings. There are weapons of destruction against humanity that are in. in our atrium that I've never seen before that are just horrific. There's in the center of our, everybody was freaking out when we put up the clan display and showed everything is broken up

into nine different categories. And this one is the silencing of speech, the silencing of people, making sure that you intimidate and frighten people into silence. And so we have the KKK display, and it's pretty intense. I mean, it's creepy. It's creepy. I had it right to the staff and said, I'm really sorry. It's going to be up for two weeks.

You know, I understand, you know, how all of us feel about this, and please forgive us that this is where we're doing the museum. and look out because it's going to get worse later today because then we brought in. Remember the cage that they were burning people alive in, ISIS, and then they were dunking in pools. They took cages and dunked them in pools. We have a cage that has two ISIS execution uniforms,

the orange jumpsuits. I don't know. We have a few of them, and I think we've avoided the one with blood all over it. But these mannequins and these jumpsuits are in this cage. And it is,

and we have the uniform of an ISIS member of someone that was killed. So we have the mask and the uniform and the gun and everything, and he's standing next to the cage, and it is horrific. It really is.

But you will walk away with an understanding of history that you've never had before. You will see things that no one has ever seen before. You will see things that are really hard to see. For instance, in the studio, and I have to talk about them here because we've got to get them back to a secure room. But these three pieces, we've been working with the Lincoln Museum. And they are remarkable. First, the Gettysburg address, written in Lincoln's own handwriting. There were four of these that he made.

He threw away the original, or actually he gave it to some newspaper guy, who then transcribed it, and then he didn't think it was a big deal, so he threw it away. And later, Lincoln was asked, could you write that out? So he wrote four of these in his own hand. This is the actual emancipation process. that was signed by Abraham Lincoln and over here for furthest from me and if you're watching the blaze you'll be able to see it and you just have to come to the museum or

sign up for the blaze to see it but you can barely read the this is in worse shape than the Declaration of Independence but that's the 13th Amendment and again signed by Abraham Lincoln they see the light of day in the museum about three days a year. So they're very, it's very, very rare to see them. If you'd like to see them, along with the Juneteenth of Proclamation, Proclamation number three, I didn't even know this. Did you know this? Did you, had you ever heard of Juneteenth before you moved here? Not until I moved to Texas. Right. But it's a big deal here. It's a national holiday. It is actually a national holiday. But it is one of those things where it just has the name of like a mall

store. Like they're like a mall a sale. It's the Juneteenth sale. Like it's a sale. Like it's a It feels. It's exactly the way it feels. So weird. It is an amazing thing. Texas, the news of the slaves being free hadn't traveled down to Texas for, I think, almost two years. And so the slaves found out when the proclamation finally arrived. And it was, I think, June 19th. And so they call it June 10th.

And when the proclamation finally arrived in Texas and it was announced, the, the slave, found out and were freed June 19th and it's it's a it's an amazing story we have that actual proclamation that came in to Texas here as well don't miss this please I ask that you would help us help stop slavery today that's what this is all about this really is to make you into a modern-day abolitionist we have looked for so many different ways to say to people, stop dwelling on blame on the past because we're doing the same thing now. There are a few abolitionists that are standing up for Christians, Christians right now. How are the churches not flocking to help the Christians in the world who are being persecuted,

who are being tortured? the things that we have from the Middle East right now that are in this building are horrifying. We're talking about, in Washington and the news, we're talking about the border being a concentration camp. No, I'll show you what it is. I'll show you a horror show. We have the evidence of it right here. Is anybody going to look at it? It's actually stunning the things you will learn about American history that you didn't.

know. It is stunning when you learn about things that are going on right now and you see the actual items. And it actually will be very uplifting for you and your family at the end. And we invite you to come. It's this Saturday here in Texas and it goes until July 7th.

Earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. He's also a craftsman, a businessman. a historian and a passable breakdancer.

He holds a master's degree in safety management from West Virginia University College of Business. He founded his company, antique cabins and barns in 95. He expanded that business into what it is today, Barnwood Living. And they started to make a documentary film, I believe, about old log cabins. and it turned into what now is a hit TV show that I find fascinating. Welcome to the program, Mark. Hey, thank you for having me, Glenn. You bet, you bet.

Are you surprised by the success of the show? I think it's surreal. You know, sometimes we're all in a pickup truck driving down the road, and we just look at one another without saying a word, just bust out in laughter. Right. that, you know, six Hillbys have to see the show, and it's not made up. Right. I know. You know what? I'm fascinated by a couple of things. First, I own an old log cabin, and that's why your name came up, is because I'm restoring an 1800s cabin that is in Idaho, one of the first settlers.

and we're expanding it and taking it apart has been a nightmare because we're just so, you know, you take out the chinking and the thing almost falls down, which I didn't know that that would happen. You really have to know what you're doing, and I don't. But I have been approached. I was stopped by this 80-year-old woman in the grocery store. She said, Mr. Beck, and I said, yes. She said, you just bought the property with this, with this 80-year-old.

1880s log cabin. I said, yes, ma'am, that is a historic site. And you are, what have you done with that cabin? I heard you took that cabin down. And I'm like, no, no, no, we haven't. We haven't. We're restoring it. And she's like, that is a historic site. I'm like, I know. Do you ever get any heat from people on taking these things down because they are treasures? They are. Well, first of all, I'd like to say that my marketing team, which is me, didn't do a very good job of making ourselves known to you, or we would have taken it down. We would have taken that thing down for you. So I've got to get on the marketing department, which is myself.

Okay. Well, you have a strong talking to. I honestly, I didn't even think about calling you guys, you know, because, I mean, I'm just a, you know, I'm just doing it myself. I didn't even think about calling you guys. But, you know, we just hired a guy to do chinking, which I think somebody should have a problem with the name. I know it's not racist, but it sure sounds. sounds racist. And there's so few people that I apparently do it right.

But as I'm interviewing this guy, I don't know what to ask. I'm just like, can you put the white stuff in between the logs? He's like, yeah, you're hired. Yeah, right, right. Well, that's how it goes. I think that to your point earlier there, we do have and come across some really historic building. And we try to leave those in play. if it's the first building or it's got documented history,

the thing I do first is a consultation with the homeowner and see if they were restored on value. But a lot of times, for example, these bicentennial farms and some of the other things that you see in Ohio and Pennsylvania, these structures are not allowed for use because farming and lifestyle have changed. So what you're seeing is a lot of dilapidated barns across the country. I feel like if we're not repurposing these structures, then we're going to forget about, you know, this history because they're going to just rot. You know, they're going to fall over and, you know, Mother Nature takes care of enough things like, you know, tornadoes.

I've gotten a lot of calls in the last two weeks. So I think, you know, we're, we are seeing a lot of the landscape change. They are, and they are beautiful. And as somebody who's, I was just building a fence and taking down an old fence and, you know, some of these. fences were put in with telephone poles. And I have to tell you, if I didn't have power tools, if I didn't have, you know, a backhoe, I don't, I would have stopped. There's no way to do it.

I can't believe when you see these old homes that you are taking down, these old barns that are all hand-hewn, they are all hand-cut. These guys, you cannot walk away from an old barn or something like that. and not walk away with just tremendous amounts of respect for how hard people worked. Man, it's incredible. You think back to the finest and you think that they show up in a wagon and there's a family and they start cutting down trees and dragging the trees out, you know, with force, and then taking a broadax, squaring that beat up, then putting a dove tail notch on it with a hand saw and start to stack those logs.

And, you know, somebody who aren't making down. It's got 10 by 10 beams that are 6 feet long, and every time we think, when we're just thinking, how in the world did they get in the air? And who else are we going to hire tank this? So if somebody has a barn and can they just call you and you'll look into it and do you buy these? Are they given to restore? How does this work? Well, hello and sell out.

And I always say that we're slow, but we're expensive. Yeah. So we, you know, used to go, we used to take them down and clean the site up real well. And then over the years, you know, barn has become more popular. Yeah. So I buy the bonds now, and I give, I think I give more than most people do because I understand the history. And, you know, it's really hard to purchase somebody when you're buying a family airline. Yeah.

You know, what's that worth? Right. And that's always a difficult part for me as a businessman is that, you know, it's not a workout for everybody. So, you know, we hadn't got a few barn for a while. Well, Mark, it's good to talk to you. And I may take you up in the future on, because I want to build a,

I want to build a barn, but I don't want to build a new one. I'd like to take an old barn and reclaim it and then shore it back up and rebuild it. I just love these old structures. And you're exactly right. This why I love you is you guys are

saving history that has just been left to fall apart and it will rot if we don't save them. And they're so cool. They are just so great. You know, I think a lot of part to the success of our show has to do with the fact that we honor those old-time skills and those trades that the pioneers use to Billy's houses. Yeah. And the other thing about us, we don't argue, you know, we have fun working. It's really hard. And at the end, it's, you know, I've got a saying that, you know, our car is behind and take ride. And I think if you do those three things, you know, it shows in your work and it shows

in your attitude. That's been part of the show. Mark, thank you so much. Good, good talking. What did you say? Have you ever been in the room with it, Hillbillies? With a bunch of hillbillies? No, no, but I did watch, what is it, Lucky Logan or Logan Lucky? I did see that. I did see that. So I've seen Daniel Craig's version of a hillbilly. Yeah. Glad to meet you. All right. Good.

Good to talk to you, Mark. Thank you so much. The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.
