Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand. Well, hundreds of demonstrators have been gathering in London over the weekend to protest the arrest of Tommy Robinson. Free Tommy was a hashtag that was been trending over social media over the weekend. So who is this guy? And why is everybody so upset about him over in England? Well, he was arrested on Friday for, quote, breach. of peace. So what does that mean? Well, you're not going to believe it, but this guy actually had the
Starting point is 00:00:39 goal to film a group of Muslims outside of a courthouse that had been accused of grooming them for sex slavery. Now, this is just one of the many child sex scandals involving Muslim gangs, and Tommy Robinson has been trying to expose them because this has been going on in England for years and no one in the media cares. So he was surrounded by a bunch of police officers and he was arrested and he would later be sentenced in record time for contempt of court. Now this is a charge that he is quite familiar with. Tommy was charged for contempt of court a year ago over a gang rape case also involving Muslim immigrants. He's now in jail for 13 months. He's now in jail for 13 months. The judge was awfully darn quick to get him off the street and booked him in a prison cell.
Starting point is 00:01:37 He also at the same time ordered a media blackout for anyone in the UK looking to report on it. Now maybe it's just me, but I am starting to be frightened for our friends in the UK. They are literally transforming into a George Orwell novel. It's kind of hard to put into words what's happening. But what are the supposed people in Britain supposed to do about their government? It won't protect them from Islamists that don't see them as human beings. And B, it's now forbidding them and even jailing them for talking about it. So what happens?
Starting point is 00:02:26 Well, I'll tell you. the UK government is facilitating the rise of the violent far right and they they don't even know they're doing it. This is the Bubba effect. It's happening. Now here's Tommy Robinson. He is no angel. I just started learning about him this week or this last weekend so I don't want to take a stand on him. he seems like a guy who resorts to violence. His speech attracts some of the worst of the worst. However, to his credit, he has abandoned multiple groups that he started due to them becoming infested with neo-Nazis and racists.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Now, I don't know if this is just a cover for him or what? I don't know. When your marches have been described as hooligans versus jihadist, you might want to, reevaluate. But the people in the UK and the rest of Europe and a growing number here in America are quite literally backed into a corner. The threat of some of these Islamist groups is very real and the government refuses to address it. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:03:46 So what do you do? Well, when a people feel backed into a corner, unfortunately, they usually strike out. They look to people. Like Tommy Robinson, who are willing to take a stand and say some of the things that they really agree with, even though other parts may be really bad. I don't know what Robinson actually stands for, but what I do know is that by silencing people like him, that are just trying to shine a light on what is really going on, governments all over Europe are setting a very dangerous path to a very violent future.
Starting point is 00:04:35 It's Tuesday, May 29th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Now, that's probably going to be reported as Glenn Beck endorses the violent right. I can't, I can't take it anymore. I just can't take it anymore. The summaries that come from your commentaries lately are really interesting. They really are a different person than I knew. I know.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I know. I've done radio with you for 20 years now. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And it, man, it seems like you're actually a totally different person than I realized. No. It's crazy, isn't it? First of all, pro-Louis Farrakhan, which really surprised me.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I know. That surprised me as well. Because you have been one of the people leading the charge outing Lewis Farrakhan's audio over the years in speech after speech that has been completely ignored by the media. Yeah, but now that he's for Donald Trump and I'm suddenly all in on Donald Trump, I have no problem with Louis Farrakhan. It's really incredible. What a transformation. I know. What a Memorial Day weekend will do for you.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It is crazy. Okay. So here's what. here's what Lewis Farrakhan said and let me tell you what I actually believe and how the media has just totally distorted this. Listen to this. That the racism is more in our face rather than hitting. Hidden, excuse me. What's your perspective on that?
Starting point is 00:06:11 Well, that wasn't the intent of this administration to do a lot of good for us. But the nature of this administration is good for us because now, you know, sometimes, times you think you're where you are not. And so Trump is letting you know where you really stand. And because of Trump's way, he is an anomaly. There's never been no president quite like Mr. Trump. But there's something that he's doing. I'm going to come out in a few weeks and talk about it, but Trump is destroying every enemy that was an enemy of our rise. Who's the enemy of our rise? Is it the Department of Justice where we get none? Is it Congress where you make a law that favors us and then you turn around and destroy it? Is it the media
Starting point is 00:07:14 that has destroyed every black leader that stood up for us, calling us out of our name. Martin Luther King suffered it. Malcolm suffered it. Dubois suffered it. Marcus Garvey suffered it. So he's attacking the media. Calls it fake news. Well, I don't think everything is fake. I know very well that we have been the victims of some fake news. Yes. He's beating up the FBI. Go at it, baby. Because they've been beating the hell out of us.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Ever since Jay Edgar Hoover and the counterintelligence program of the U.S. government. So go ahead, Mr. Trump. So they've taken this as a Lewis Farrakhan endorsement of Donald Trump, which it is not an endorsement of Donald Trump. It is, wait a minute. wait a minute, he's destroying our enemies. So let's not stand in his way. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Well, I am long on record as the enemy of my enemy is my friend is a very bad policy. It led to the Cold War. It has led to all of the problems that we have had in the Middle East. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. it's what created ISIS. So Candice Owens came out over the weekend and she said, he is right and you should see what's happening in the black community. Well, there's two things, but I mean, I know we can't,
Starting point is 00:08:58 I know we can't actually look at things and think things through anymore. So I should have kept my mouth shut. She said he's right and what's happening in the black community is astounding. I happen to agree with her. What's happening in the black community is astounding. but that's not necessarily the same is what's happening with Lewis Farrakhan. Because the only part of, yeah, because you, you know, Candice Owen tweeted, in no way do I endorse Farrakhan's views, but holy crap, this is a really big deal.
Starting point is 00:09:27 It is a really big deal. He has a just aligned himself with the Trump administration. No, he hasn't. What's going on in the black community right now is unprecedented. Yes. It's relevant. Yes. Now, the only part that threw me about your response to that was that you said she was correct.
Starting point is 00:09:43 because I what I took from that is because again like I'm looking at this you know through the eyes of someone who listens to you blab three hours a day every day so I'm not looking at this as a
Starting point is 00:09:54 as a tweet in and of itself what and I thought maybe it was because I took her tweet wrong what I took from her tweet was her making the commonly made recently Kanye West point which was hey here's a while you might think Kanye West is crazy the fact that he's saying positive things
Starting point is 00:10:13 about Trump opens the Republican worldview up to a group of people that have never even considered it before. Yes. That's what I took from her. And I don't think you believe that with Lewis Farrakhan. No, and I don't think she believes that. If she does, she's crazy. We should get her on.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Kitty, see if you can call Candace Owens and see if we can get her on today. Because it's possible. And you said, you said this is huge. Yeah, let's, huge. Let's go. Let's go read my tweet And then let's go back to hers This is huge
Starting point is 00:10:46 Candice Owen is correct And it is the principle of what caused All of our damage in the Middle East It never leads to peace The enemy of my enemy is my friend We must find reconciliation in our hearts Not hate, destruction or violence even of the tongue Now of course you wrote the enemy of the enemy of my friend
Starting point is 00:11:05 And you know in a tweet People might think you're endorsing Yes It does require I'm sorry Even tweets do require humans to think. Right. And if you know anything about you, you've been bashing that strategy for a long time. But you said that she's correct, which made me think you're agreeing with her point. So let me go.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Let me go. I don't know what her point is. I know what her tweet said. Listen to it. Let's take it point by point. In no way do I endorse Farrakhan's views. I agree with her. Holy crap, this is a big deal.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I agree with her. He has aligned himself with Trump's administration. I don't agree with her on that. What is going on in the black community right now is unprecedented. I agree with her. Flag this, it's relevant. I agree with her. There's four out of four out of five.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Four out of five. Dentists agree that crest is actually the best toothpaste. I agree. What she said in that tweet generally is true. I agree with her. This is huge. This is huge. And it's huge because it is what I've been talking about for so long. where people are going to say, now is our time.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I don't agree with this person at all, but I'm going to go and help. Go ahead. Yes. Yes. Yes. Because they see the enemy of my enemy is my friend. How many chalkboards have I done on this?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Many, many, many. Yes. So anybody who thinks that I would agree with Lewis Farrakhan or want him in, you know, the vicinity. of anything that conservatives stand for, you're out of your mind. You're a moron. If you understand that Lewis Farrakhan is all about the destruction of the United States of America
Starting point is 00:12:56 and is cheering on the destruction of the press, the destruction of the FBI, the destruction of our trust. You're a moron if you don't think he's doing that. and you also need to look at the fact that Donald Trump is dogpiling on the press and the FBI and everything else. Some of it is accurate. Some of it is not. That's why we need to be an informed citizenry.
Starting point is 00:13:30 We need to think. We don't fix this problem if we just live in the world of tweets and we don't even think, what does that tweet mean? Well, wait a minute, does that fit with the character that I know? Does that seem to be right? If we are not engaging in any critical thinking, we do not survive. And you know what? We don't deserve to survive.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Let me tell you what's happening with our immigration. There's a story. There were two stories that came out. One, I loved. showing pictures of all of these people look at what's happened look how this administration is treating the illegals at the border no i recognize those pictures because i was there the left wasn't there but i was i recognize those pictures is what they how they were treating illegal immigrants under the obama administration we were speaking out about it we were actually helping we were alone.
Starting point is 00:14:40 This audience was the only group of people that were actively talking about it and standing up and doing something about it. That's why it was so unfamiliar to so many people on the left who tweeted it as a wreck on Trump. Yes. They didn't even know it happened because it was their guy. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:59 So now they come out and they say, look at how, hmm, I love that story. And now there's another story. scandal. Donald Trump has lost 1400 children. Really? We get to that next. All right, I want to update you a little bit on what's happening overseas.
Starting point is 00:15:30 George Soros has come out today. It looks like Eurozone might collapse. Italy, what's happening in Italy is very disturbing, and you should panic right now. There is some really disturbing things happening in Europe, and they are all connected. But Deutsche Bank is taking a nosedive today because of the foreign minister, or sorry, the finance minister of England that they didn't elect or didn't confirm. But he was virally anti-German and anti-Eurozone. and the political situation over in Italy is a mess.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And it is one of the three legs of the stool of the European zone. If that stool leg is taken away, the Eurozone collapses. So what does this mean? Well, George Sorrell says another financial collapse is coming. Global financial collapse. I thought we fixed that problem. This is why cryptocurrency may be something that, could save a lot of us.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Cryptocurrency, 97% of my listeners have given his cryptocurrency course a four or five star rating. Who am I talking about? I'm talking about Tika Tuari. He's a guy who was in our office and we called him in and we asked him because he's one of the leading guys on cryptos. And we said, can you just put a course together that people can take? 97% of the people who have taken the course, 97, give it a four or five star rating.
Starting point is 00:17:14 You will understand what it is, how it works, how to buy, how to sell. It just answers all of these questions in a really easy way. It's an exclusive Glenn Beck course right now at smartcryptocourse.com. That is smart cryptocourse.com or call 877 PBL back. 877 PBL Beck or smart cryptocourse.com. Glenn Beck. This is, I just, I mean, how do any of us make it to dinner time? I mean, seriously, how do any of us make it in a world that is so screwed up you don't know up from down anymore?
Starting point is 00:18:04 That's why they made dinner so delicious. So really want to make it. Right. So what is, what is, what's this? story on Donald Trump and the 1,400 children that have been taken from their parents. This bastard. This bastard. He just lost them. He doesn't, you know why he doesn't care about Mexicans? That's the main part.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So he gets a bunch of, he first of all, rips them away from their families, number one. Then he just loses them. Probably dropping them off in alleys or something. And then they scamper away, never see him again because he doesn't care about children because they have brown skin. Okay. That was the impression that I had. Until I read the New York Times, they are blaming Donald Trump for the story. Now, this is not what I'm seeing on CNN.
Starting point is 00:18:56 You watch CNN, and they're covering the story is, what did this administration do with all of these kids? Are they, is Donald Trump open up a pizza parlor? Is there a basement where he is selling these kids? I mean, they will be pro Pizza Gate quickly. Quickly. Okay, so that's the story that I have heard. Listen to this from the New York Times. President Trump over the weekend falsely blamed Democrats for a horrible law, separating immigrant children from their parents. In fact, his own administration had just announced this policy earlier this month.
Starting point is 00:19:28 His comments followed days of growing alarm that federal authorities have lost track of more than a thousand immigrant children, mostly from Central America. But the president is not the only one spreading false information across social. social media. Did the Trump administration separate nearly 1,500 immigrant children from their parents on the border and lose track of them? No, says the New York Times. No. The government did realize last year that it lost track of 1475, according to testimony, blah, blah, blah, but those children had arrived alone at the southwest border without their parents. So, wait, so what is this really all about? More in a second. This is the Glenback program. Hey, Starbucks is is closed for a few hours today
Starting point is 00:20:16 because they want to talk about race and oh, I can't wait to get to that story a little later on in the program. What if a black person goes to a Starbucks today and wants to use the bathroom? They're closed.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So they're not going to let a black person go to the bathroom in one of their restaurants today. Nope. And they've made a few new things clear. Well, you can and cannot do. And I can't wait to share those things. coming up in just a little while.
Starting point is 00:20:45 I want to go back to this New York Times story. Did the Trump administration separate immigrant children from parents and lose them? The answer is no. No. Now listen to this story. The president is not the only one spreading wrong information. Across social media, there have been confusing reports of what has happened to these immigrant children. Well, here are some of the answers, according to the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Now, you got to hand it to the New York Times. for even in their slanted way of writing this, it does have some facts, but you have to put the thinking cap on and you have to read all the way to the end. New York Times, if you're a conservative, you might want to just start reading from the end. The last three or four paragraphs only. The last three or four paragraphs because that usually the last page has all of the information that you are looking for. So did the administration separate nearly 1,500 immigrant and children of? from their parents at the border and lose track of them. No.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Period. By the way, end of sentence. No, period. The government did realize last year that it lost track of 1,475 migrant children that it had placed with sponsors in the United States, according to testimony before a Senate subcommittee last month. But these children had arrived alone at the southwest border without their parents. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Now, wait a minute. What is this saying? There are two stories being done here. Okay? there is the story of did Donald Trump lose children? Did our government lose children? And were they separated? So there's two stories here and they have they have mixed them together. And what they're saying is no, wait a minute. Donald Trump is blaming Democrats for quote a horrible law separating immigrant children from their parents. In fact, it is his own.
Starting point is 00:22:39 administration that has announced this policy earlier this month. Okay. That's one story. But let's get to the part that makes everybody really angry. And that is, did Donald Trump lose 1,400 children? Here's what happened. Officials at the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the refugee resettlement,
Starting point is 00:23:04 began making calls last year to determine what happened to 7,000, 635 children, the government had helped place between last October and the end of the year. From these calls, officials learned that 6,075 children remained with their sponsors. 28 had run away, five had been removed from the United States, and 52 had been relocated to live with a new non-sponsor. The rest were unaccounted for, and that is the 1,475 number. it is possible that some of the adult sponsors simply chose not to respond to the agency. By the way. Probably a pretty good guess.
Starting point is 00:23:46 It's not possible. It happened. We all know what happened here. And so we're talking about people who are taking in illegal immigrants. The belief is, again, maybe we can't say with 100% certainty. The belief is many of the people who received the illegal immigrants were themselves illegal immigrants. so they didn't necessarily want to be in constant contact with the U.S. government.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Maybe not a good idea for their future. So they're not responding to survey calls. And that's what this is, by the way. They don't have to do this. That's not part of the law for them to follow up and find out where these people are. They're doing it to find out and try to make the system better. Well, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:28 In 2015, they noticed a problem. 2015. And that's, if you remember, the year that Donald Trump No, no, wait. Came down the escalator to begin to announce his run for the presidency. The Inspector General Report of 2016 showed that the federal government was able to reach only 84% of the children that it had placed, leaving 4,159 unaccounted for. Now, here's the question for the media and the left and everybody who was promoting this story.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I don't ever remember seeing this Because I know I would have been a little outraged at 5,000 children gone missing How about you? Why is this a deal with 1,400 children missing when 5,000 children were missing under the Obama administration? Let's continue to read on How did the Department of Health and Human Services managed to lose track of 1,475 migrant children? I would ask, how did they lose 5,000?
Starting point is 00:25:42 Or better yet, 6,500 children. Children who show up at the border by themselves are usually apprehended by federal agents. Once they are processed, they are turned over for custody, the Department of Health and Human Services' refugee office, which provides care until they can be turned over to a sponsor. Sponsors, usually parents of family members already residing in the U.S. are supposed to undergo a detailed background check.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Historically, the agency was not legally responsible for children after they had been released from refugee office. But Congress is now examining the agency safeguards. Huh. So this is something that they are currently in Congress saying, maybe we should safeguard against this. Why might the government want to track migrant children after being placed with a sponsored unaccompanied minors faced deportation proceedings?
Starting point is 00:26:41 They may seek asylum or other relief tried to remain in the country illegally. In 2016, under the Obama administration, the subcommittee released a report so it was public. I don't remember it on the front page of the New York Times. finding the department officials had failed to establish procedures to protect unaccompanied minors from being turned over to smugglers or human traffickers. Eight children, the report found, had been placed with human traffickers. Some of them forced to work on an egg farm.
Starting point is 00:27:15 To prevent similar episodes, to prevent similar episodes, the Department of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services agreed to establish new. guidelines within a year. Well, they haven't done that. But, I mean, this is, it's funny because I think it's really frustrating to these agencies who actually did this survey in an effort to try to help this problem. And now the results of the survey are being used against them as if this is the first time this has ever happened. Like someone like the New York Times, which they don't do, did an investigative report.
Starting point is 00:27:50 No, it was the inspector general of those services. that said, hey, we're not able to track about 5,000 kids. Now, it was 5,000 under the Obama administration. It's 1,400. So maybe it's getting better. I don't know. But it's not good enough yet, apparently. And I shouldn't, right, it would be great if we were able to track down these groups.
Starting point is 00:28:19 But I guarantee it's interesting because immigration activists would say they wouldn't want the government tracking every unaccompanied minor that comes into this country because it's a violation of their human rights. Now, now they find out like, hey, let's at least make sure they're not with traffickers, make a few phone calls. Obviously, a lot of the people aren't calling back because they may have other issues they're dealing with dealing with and don't want to necessarily interact with the federal government on a regular basis. What do you think is happening? Some of us have talked about this for a long time. strangely all of us on the right.
Starting point is 00:28:53 What do you think happens to those poor immigrants that are coming here because they just want a better life for their family? And they are smuggled across the river because they are being told by the drug lords that you can't just walk across the border and say, I want asylum, which you can. So they're being told that they're going to be sent back. And so what they need to do is they need to pay, like I think, it's $1,000 per person, which is way too much money, way too much money for anybody who was trying to come over here. They can't do it. So dad has to stay behind. We'll give you the credit and mom and the kids will bring them across, but you're going to owe us a favor and dad's going to stay behind. Dad will work for us for a while. Well, what do you think that is? What do you think
Starting point is 00:29:48 when a drug lord is owed a favor by an innocent family who is just trying to come across you. This is not helping. It used to be called indentured servitude. It's exactly indentured servitude. And it's not good servitude. It's not like, hey, come over here and help me plant my crops. Well, it might be planting crops. It may very well be planting crops in this case.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yes, yes. Yes, it might be. You know, look, there are two stories here that are separate. You know, you can, you can criticize the, the Trump administration for their quote-unquote new policy, which isn't a new policy. You have, when it comes to separating families. Wait, where did, where did the families go before, Stu? I'm trying to remember the, the holding pins. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:34 That we talked about. Do you remember when we were down there? The children were separated from each other. They were all separated. You're a nine to 10-year-old. You are an eight to, uh, six-year-old, you're in these rooms. Brothers and sisters were even separated.
Starting point is 00:30:54 So don't talk to me about how horrible it is that they're going to be separated from their parents. That already was happening. And kids were separated from their other family members. If siblings came across, they couldn't be unless they were identical twins could not be held in the same rooms. What do you? Don't stop with your fake outrage.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And the pictures of those circumstances from 2014 provided the ultimate, the ultimate proof of how bias the media is and the left is. Because people were setting those around and they were outraged by them because they were photos of the Trump administration mishandling and immigrants. When in reality it happened in 2014 under Obama, we covered it. We covered it. We were there. We were telling you before the pictures came out, we were telling you, they're separating the children from each other. So brother and sister come, they're separating them. Nobody cared, this audience did, but nobody cared.
Starting point is 00:32:03 The left certainly didn't care. They didn't do any stories on it. Don't get on your high moral horse now unless you're willing to say, wow, I didn't even know. I mean, I was trusting that we would hear these things. I didn't even know. I had no idea. I'm in now. I see the problem now.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And boy, my side was doing this too. If you want to say that, then let's start Lincoln Arms. Do you have a moment of reflection? If you go out in front of the entire country and tweet a photo showing how horrible the current administration is, And then it's proved that the photo you tweeted that proved how horrible this administration is is actually from an administration you supported without question for eight years. Do you have a moment where you sit back and go, God, what am I doing with myself here? Look what I've done. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:32:56 You don't have that. You don't even have that moment? No, I don't think so. I think people looked at it and said, oh, well, I mean, that it's not as bad as I thought it was. That picture isn't as bad as I, because they were humanely taken care of, I'm sure, under. under my guy. I'm sure that's what they thought. And I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Look, I think this happens on both sides. We've covered it many times on both sides. It's not exclusively a left-wing issue, but this one is. And, you know, if you don't have a moment when you're caught that blatantly with just team sports partisanship, you are, it's in front of everyone to see. If you don't have a moment where you're sitting by yourself and thinking, God, what am I doing with myself? What have I become? If you don't have that moment,

And people who think that the house prices are going to rise even more are the ones that are now saying, you know, I think maybe it's a good time to sell.

Starting point is 00:36:01 about how excited they are to go to the racial bias training because I know if I worked at Starbucks. Oh, I would be so excited. to come back from the holiday weekend and face that. It'd be great. Other than that, our phone number is open. 888727BECK.
Starting point is 00:36:16 If you work, because Starbucks love to hear from you today. I also have a progressive conundrum that people are facing today. Okay, all right. This is the only one, by the way. There's a new company called StoreDot that has created batteries that can charge electric cars in five minutes. Now, this is a huge limitation for electric cars. It's one of the main reasons they have not taken off.
Starting point is 00:36:40 But, of course, you think if you're a left-winger, you love that, right? It's an Israeli company. I don't know what to do now. Supported by big oil. Whoa. What do you cheer for? To do. What to do?
Starting point is 00:37:01 This is good news. This is really good news. Because you might be thinking the Me Too movement has reached the apex. It's all downhill from here. But just when you think that, we're in America. There's some new advancement that pops into the culture. This time the inventor is Leslie Magorty. She's a high school physics teacher in Las Vegas.
Starting point is 00:37:24 She saw a part where the Me Too movement is really lacking strength, and that is women's serial killers. She's like, me too, right? I can do that. I don't think she understands the movement. She planned to kickstart the whole movement at a concert by Life of Agony, a grunge rock band at a bar in Las Vegas. In text to a friend, McGordy wrote,
Starting point is 00:37:48 I'm going to poke a lot of holes in a lot of people on Saturday. I have the means, the motives, and the brains. No, not if you're saying this on social media. I'm just saying. Vegas will lose its luster after me. Maybe I'll start a movement, another Me Too movement. But this time, women feel empowered enough to become serial killers. A perfect plan with my favorite song,
Starting point is 00:38:10 surrounded by a bunch of misfits like I am. This is great. Luckily, police stepped in before she could act on it. She now faces 20 years in prison for terroristic threats. Some news sources have quoted students who are shocked by her actions. Others are like, no, not so much. It doesn't surprise me. Quote, one of her students said, she scared me.
Starting point is 00:38:34 She always talked about her husband and her divorce. Way too much personal stuff. It was like scary. I like the word like used in more sentences next time, Natalie. Another student noticed that Magorty refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Uh-oh. I hear this whole time I thought she was going to be some cuck and crackpot on the right. Whenever we had the Pledge of Allegiance, she wouldn't stand for the pledge.
Starting point is 00:39:01 And when we asked her about it, she said she would stand up for anything else. But not the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem. Another student said, I know she always comes in talking about her boyfriends and who she dates, but I didn't think she'd be making threats to people. She's currently out on bail, but isn't allowed back at the school quite yet. So her students are going to have to learn about physics from someone else. God forbid. God forbid they replace her with a white man.
Starting point is 00:39:33 It's Tuesday, May 29th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck. program. So tonight on TV, I'm going to be I'm going to be covering the Bubba effect again because I think it's happening now. And we're seeing it in several places. We're seeing it today in Italy. Italy is in economic meltdown today because of what's happening in their parliament. Deutsche Bank is in economic meltdown. George Soros, it looks like we may have another financial crisis like 2008. the horizon panic everyone so i can make billions of dollars more ha ha ha ha we also have this this uprising
Starting point is 00:40:23 uh in england stew had you ever heard of tommy robinson no okay so where do you stand on this guy did you did you do any when you saw the you know hashtag free tommy did you do any homework on him and go. It was interesting about this past vacation. I didn't see any hashtags. Oh, good for you. I saw so few hashtags. I saw the one that was on the phone. There's one on the phone. Did you know that? There's a hashtag on everybody's phone. It's a pound sign. Yeah. That's what it used to be, apparently. Yeah. I really honestly did my best to try to avoid as much as this is possible. Good for you. So I didn't dive too deeply into this. So I see the hashtag and I see, you know, free Tommy. And I'm like, what is this story about? And then it mutates over the weekend into a story that the reporters in Great Britain can't cover anymore. They've taken all of the stories offline. Now, the question is, did they do that by choice or did the government tell them to do that? Because they did say that there's a blackout on all coverage.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Now, that's crazy. what this guy was doing, and I do not want to take a stand on Tommy Robinson, because I've done my homework, but I'm not sure if he's a good guy or a bad guy. He has a lot of bad guy qualities, but also has some things that if you can take them at face value, he might be a good guy. I don't know. That's okay to say in today's society that, like, but maybe you should have the full context of this guy.
Starting point is 00:42:08 character and life before you make an extreme judgment on him? Well, no. It's not okay. I can say whatever I want, but then the press will make it into whatever they want. I mean, the far right will say Glenn Beck endorses or torches Tommy Robinson. And then the media will say Glenn Beck endorses him if he's a bad guy. It'll be reversed if he's a good guy. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:31 And you're not avoiding taking some big stand on this guy because of what the media might do. It's because it's the right thing to do. Right. And I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And that's the problem. There's no one to trust.
Starting point is 00:42:45 I don't trust the media. I don't trust the government to decide, especially the government of England. I don't know. I don't know who to trust in this. I do know that he is a sign that it is already well underway in England, the Bubba effect, where people don't care. if it's right or wrong. They don't care because they've had enough and they see the biggest boogeyman being the government.
Starting point is 00:43:16 So here's what he did. He was arrested and jailed Friday after he reportedly streamed live on Facebook as alleged members of an Islamic child sex grooming gang entered a courtroom building for their trial. So he's standing outside and he's like, I'm out here and I've got, you know, I've got my, my webcam and And look, here they are. They're going in. Now, what is this sex scandal? This sex scandal is absolutely phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Everybody is talking today about these 1,400 missing children at the border. Donald Trump just, I guess he must have tried to put him in a pocket. And then he left him in the wrong coat. Where are these 1,400 children? It's clearly not Donald Trump. There were, what was it, 4,500 children lost. under Barack Obama. So please,
Starting point is 00:44:10 stop with this. If you care about children, maybe you should take a look at this one. This Pakistani Islamic sex ring, they have no idea how big the numbers actually are, but they believe that at least 1,400 children were exploited sexually. The children as young as ill. were raped by multiple perpetrators,
Starting point is 00:44:40 abducted, traffic to other cities in England. They were beaten and intimidated. Some of them had gasoline poured on them, set on fire with the other children watching, and they're saying, you're next if you don't do exactly what we say. And here's the real problem. The government did nothing.
Starting point is 00:45:09 In fact, let me give you this one. Reading the publicity that is happening this weekend, I'm reminded not just of the bravery and tenacity of those involved in exposing the levels of organized child abuse here in the UK, but also of the cowards and deniers who for so long refused to accept that harm was being done to our children by violent exploiters. I've been writing this story online for over a decade. Many years before the award-winning journalist Andrew Norfolk wrote his first piece about grooming gangs in northern towns and England, I was investigating this phenomenon. Despite the quality of the material that I had mass, it took me until 2007 to get my first piece published because some editors feared an accusation of racism. In this particular geographical area, many of the members of the grooming gangs were of Pakistani Islamic
Starting point is 00:46:03 origin. As a feminist who has always gone after men who abused women and girls, whichever social class or ethnic group they belong to, I was concerned that the story would only be told by racists. So she's standing up and saying, look, we can't give this ground to the racist over here. So why are you seeing these racists standing up and being taken seriously by so many people? because there's a problem. And here's a feminist on the left that understands it. No one is saying anything. When you read these stories about what has happened and the parents that went to the police and told them with their children.
Starting point is 00:46:57 And they were told by the police, well, we can't help you on this. well we're not sure of what exactly if she's telling the truth we're not sure well we'll look into it social workers well we can't help you on this now there is a statement uh from the police we have failed our young people unfortunately many of the police regarded many child victims with contempt i'd like to start by offering an unreserved apology to the victims of child exploitation who did not receive the level of service they should be able to expect from their local police force. We fully acknowledge our previous failings. We have overhauled the way we deal with such cases and have successfully prosecuted a number
Starting point is 00:47:52 of abusers. Okay. Oh, that's nice. But wait a minute. Why is Tommy Robinson picked up? if you fix this, why have you picked up a guy who is standing outside of a courthouse saying, here they are, here are the Pakistani guys that are accused of this, why is he all of a sudden picked up and then why do you silence the entire thing?
Starting point is 00:48:21 If you've fixed it, answer, you haven't fixed it. You haven't. You've eaten around the corners, but you refuse. to look at the problem. What's happening in Europe? Brexit is coming apart. I'm sorry, the euro is coming apart. They're now talking about an Italian exit.
Starting point is 00:48:47 The Italian government is collapsing. Why? Because the people don't trust the government to be fixing anything. They don't believe the government is actually listening to them. If you want to see the future, the future is Donald Trump on steroids. Now, if you don't like that idea,
Starting point is 00:49:15 then you've got to stop with this neo-Marxist post-modernist bullcrap that tells us we can't sing the national anthem at our own sporting events. Because here's an example. example of the Bubba effect happening at a sporting event. This is a little league playoff game where the parents are told we're not going to have the national anthem. We're just going to start to play ball.
Starting point is 00:49:51 The parents boo and they all stand up and here's what happened. This is what's coming. This is what is coming. this is chaos. Why is it chaos? Because the authorities have told people who have lived in this country
Starting point is 00:50:40 their whole life and are proud of their country and we have a tradition of singing that. The joke is Home of the Brave Play Ball! We, that's the joke we always hear play ball at the last line of the Star-Spang banner because it's a tradition.
Starting point is 00:51:02 People don't want that tradition changed. They don't hate their heritage. You elites in your postmodernist world, you do hate the American heritage. You know, it really amazes me that I got into so much trouble for using the words, I do think he has a deep-seated problem with white people and the white culture.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Remember what the scandal was? What do you mean by white culture? I don't know. The one you're all telling us that is horrible right now. That white culture. You told me I was a racist for saying that I think he has a problem
Starting point is 00:51:48 with white people. Well, does anybody doubt that there's a lot of people that are now in charge of very important positions that have a problem. that have a problem with white people. You know, here's what I think about racism.
Starting point is 00:52:04 I don't judge people on their color. I get to know them. Because once you get to know them, there's all kinds of really meaty reasons for hating somebody. Get to know them. Chaos is coming. You need to fix yourself to something that is solid. Here's an idea.
Starting point is 00:52:31 I recommend the American scriptures. I recommend the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. I recommend you tie yourselves deeply to those things. And then you practice what Franklin called the American religion. I believe there is a God. He's going to judge us. We should serve him.
Starting point is 00:52:54 And the best way to serve him is to serve your fellow man. That is the American religion. Now tell me, tell me why that has to be driven out of the public square. So I don't know if you saw this video that I put up on Twitter. It was a front loader hitting a tree and this mushroom cloud of pollen exploded off of this tree. I've never seen anything like it. At first I thought that's got to be some video trick. It's not.
Starting point is 00:53:45 That's what it's like living. especially in Texas. It is crazy what we're breathing in. Thankfully, you can get your relief when you flee to your house or to your office if you have a clean, new air filter. You can get them from filter by. Fight your allergies at the source instead of wasting money on pills and, you know, eating spoonfuls of honey that I just, I'm sorry, but I don't get it. It is, it's bee vomit. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:54:15 It's bee vomit. Let's face it. Filterby.com. America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses. They carry over 600 sizes. They ship for free within 24 hours, and they're all made right here in America. One feature is their auto delivery. This way, you're never going to forget to change your air filters.

Starting point is 00:54:58 Okay. So you want to know why the world is on fire. Okay. So what is happening over in England? In England, they have silenced a guy, good or bad, right or wrong. They've silenced a guy for showing the, basically the perp walk. of these Pakistani immigrants who have been running a sex ring allegedly. And these guys have been responsible for about 1,400 rapes of children.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Okay, that's kind of a big deal. They've thrown him into jail. Thousands of people rally around him. The judge orders a complete blackout and sentences him. Is this the fastest trial you've ever seen in your life? Stu? I mean, it's like Saddam Hussein's trial. I mean, it's like crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Saddam Hussein to at least took a few months. Yeah, yesterday, I found out that he was now sentenced to 13 months in prison. He's already in prison. He was arrested on Friday. And a complete blackout. Okay, so you can see why people are standing up, rising up. What is the EU doing? Brussels.
Starting point is 00:56:13 The European Union has introduced a new proposal banning plastic price. products like cotton swabs, straws, stir sticks, and balloon sticks. What's a balloon stick? I think a balloon stick is where you tie the balloon on the stick. Okay. European Commission has a proposal that would seek to cut marine litter in half and only for the estimated $250 billion fund. Oh, that's it. That's it.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Oh, that's great. And if I, you know, if I think if I went door to door and asked people, hey, what? What would you like the government to be doing? They'd be saying balloon sticks. Oh, we've got to stop the balloon sticks. Cotton Q-tips and balloon sticks. I want them out. I want them out.
Starting point is 00:57:01 This is the Glenn Beck program. Yesterday, the Blaze ran a story that I just want to share with you because I just think it is so great for Memorial Day to be able to tell you the story about somebody that I have never heard of, somebody that won the highest Navy Award and the second, highest award in any of our armed forces. It's the Navy Cross. He was a mess attendant.
Starting point is 00:57:33 And he was only a mess attendant. I mean, how did the guy who won the Navy Cross, he was working in the kitchen? He was black. And in the 1930s, because of Wilson, you really weren't allowed to do much else. in the military, but he happened to be in Pearl Harbor.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Now, he got the Navy Cross because of what he did in the few minutes at Pearl Harbor, but the press and the Navy itself didn't even bother to name him in the press release when they were naming all of the heroes. His name is Doris Miller.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Doris. I'll get to that in a second. Odds were against him. He was called to duty, and he was the Negro mess boy. But he has a name Doris that should be remembered by all of us. He was born in Waco, Texas. His parents named him Doris because the midwife was sure before he was born that he'd be a girl. So they picked the name Doris for the girl.
Starting point is 00:58:55 this is a custom that I am glad we have lost. I had an aunt Hermina because my what, my grandparents, my great uncles, I don't remember. They, my great grandparents, that's what it was. My great grandparents were convinced that they were going to have a boy. And so they picked the name Herman.
Starting point is 00:59:19 And when she was born, they named her Hermina. She looked like, a Hermina. Do you think because she was called Hermina, she, like, formed to what Hermina would look like? Doris Miller does not look like a Doris. Anyway, he worked on the family farm.
Starting point is 00:59:38 He dropped out of school as an eighth grader. Then he went to the civilian Conservation Corps, which was an FDR program. And then, in 1939, he enlisted in the Navy. He was
Starting point is 00:59:58 signed to the USS West Virginia in 1940 and he was given duties that it was not going to bring him any glory at all. He served meals and he did the laundry and that's all he was allowed to do. And it was Sunday morning, three minutes
Starting point is 01:00:14 to eight o'clock, December 7th 1941. You could hear even in the underbelly of the ship, you could hear the rumble of the planes and the dropping of the torpedoes. it was the first of one of nine Japanese torpedoes that hit his ship. He runs from the mess hall and he runs up to the battle station
Starting point is 01:00:39 to an anti-aircraft battery magazine. It had been destroyed. He made his way to the center part of the ship and he was tasked with transporting the captain who had been badly injured by shrapnel to safety. The ship's boxing champion was 3 foot 6 inches, nearly 200 pounds. It was Doris.
Starting point is 01:01:02 It didn't look like Adorus. He was the ideal person to carry the wounded to safety. Once the captain was safe, Miller was ordered to load one of the 50-caliber anti-aircraft guns still intact on the ship. He complied, but he didn't stop there. He didn't have any training on the gun. He had no idea, but the guy who was supposed to fire the gun had just been shot. He manned the gun.
Starting point is 01:01:26 He fires on the Japanese air. aircraft until he was out of ammunition. Miller later said that firing the machine gun during the battle, a weapon that he hadn't been trained to operate, he said it wasn't hard. I just pulled the trigger and she was working fine. I had watched everybody else with these guns. I guess I fired her for about 15 minutes. I got one of those Japanese planes. They were driving pretty close to us. Even as the ship was continuing to get battered by enemy fire, he continued to transport the wounded to safety for the duration of the attack. The sailors on board were able to prevent the ship
Starting point is 01:02:01 from capsizing, but it eventually sank, and Miller was one of the last members off. So here it is, this mess attendant who saved lives, saved his captain, did things that nobody ever thought he could do and he was never trained for, battled the Japanese, took down one of their aircraft, He was recognized and honored across the nation as a hero. He was given the Navy Cross in 1942 as well as a Purple Heart. There are schools named and streets named after him in America. There are some statues that are oppressing somebody someplace. It didn't happen right away because the Navy never released his name.
Starting point is 01:02:59 They just, they named everybody else but not him because he was black. It was the Pittsburgh Courier that was the first to report his identity. Ironically, the story ran next to a story about a jury probing a lynching in Missouri. That was the world, and that was the country he was fighting for. About a year later, he was on another ship. Japanese torpedo struck the ship, detonated the aircraft bomb magazine. He died. Here's a guy that had every reason.
Starting point is 01:03:42 reason to complain, every reason to look at everybody and say, you're not even looking at me as a person. The abolitionists, the wedgewood, you know, the plate maker and the China maker, they were finally convinced to join in as abolitionists. And they made these wedgewood plates, which were very, it was a sign that you were in the right group. And the plate said, am I not a man? Am I not your brother? He was a man.
Starting point is 01:04:25 He was our brother. And he fought so we could learn the lessons from the past and get better. Who is it? Who is it that we have turned our guns on now? Who is it that is not popular, that is being pushed out of society? whose voice is being silenced. It was guys like Doris.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Who is it today? Are they not your brother? Are they not your sister? Are we all not relatives in the family of man? Do you see what's happening in Italy today? George Soros says looks like we might be headed for another financial meltdown like 2008. Oh, good. Thanks, George.
Starting point is 01:05:29 for chiming in. I appreciate it. How much did you play a role in that one? In Italy, things are really, really rocky today. It's because they can't put a government together. The extremists, if you will, are in charge because nobody trusts the regular politician. Nobody. And so Italy has voted in this group that they're environmental. I would, from a distance, deem them as a environmental extremists, but maybe not. They've tempered a lot of that. And they couldn't build a coalition government, so they decided to build it with the right-wing extremists who look kind of racist.
Starting point is 01:06:11 That's great. Well, that's not working at all. And so it's falling apart. And now the stock market is falling apart all over Europe because it looks like Italy may have a giant crash, which will bring down Germany, and then the dominoes begin to fall. That's where George Soror. comes in. Anyway, if you thought we were out of the woods, we're not.
Starting point is 01:06:34 These problems did not go away. So what are you going to do about it? Well, you could worry about it and you could, you know, fred about it. You could say, hi, I'm going to elect somebody. Or you could just take personal responsibility. Inflation or times of chaos, which I think we're in, you want to have gold, gold or silver. It's an asset that protects me and my family. And if you can't, if you don't think it can happen, just look around the world.
Starting point is 01:07:01 Look around, look around what's happening at Venezuela. 10 years ago, they were stable. Goldline, right now, if you think hyperinflation can't happen, I want you to, or your friends don't, I want you to call Goldline. They're going to send you a, I think it's a $10 billion bank note. So you can have it in your wallet. You can be like, yeah, really. Here's $10 billion.
Starting point is 01:07:24 inflation and rapid deflation can happen when you start printing money. Call Goldline now. Find out if gold or silver is right for you and find out all of the risk information from Goldline.com, goldline.com or 866.6 goldline or goldline.com. Glenn back. We are so excited to open up the doors of our chocolate factory here, if you will, of our studios here at the Mercury Studios and share with you portions of the Mercury 1
Starting point is 01:08:01 historic collection. This one is going to be very, very different. I want you to bring your children, but I think we're, we haven't put it all finished together yet, but I may have a pass-through for parts of
Starting point is 01:08:19 this for younger children because parts of this are going to be fairly disturbing. This is is all about rights and responsibility. And we all think that, oh, you know, America, it's fine, but, you know, we're going to be fine without it. Are we? Are we? Without the rights and responsibilities of the Bill of Rights, I'm not sure. And we're going to show you all the way from Vlad the Impaler to the Nazis, the first third of the museum, is what man did.
Starting point is 01:08:53 and we are in, I can't say exactly because I'm not sure where we stand on everything. I'm not sure what's coming and what's not coming, but we have access to one of the largest collections of torture devices from the inquisition and from everything that is horrifying. I mean, if you ever saw the movie, Man with the Iron Mask, they did that. And we hope to be having some of the Iron Mask. on display for all kinds of punishments for people before men had rights.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Then we're going to take you through the Bill of Rights and a few of the things. And we will show you when we've gone right and when we've gone wrong on each one of the Bill of Rights. Because I am convinced that the solution to all of our problems are all found in the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. It's all there. All we have to do is stop violating the Bill of Rights and we'll be okay. We'll solve these problems. We have things on display from the death of Abraham Lincoln and slavery that have not been seen before. We have some remarkable things that, again, have not been seen.
Starting point is 01:10:17 I'll give you more specific details as we get closer. I just know we have a list of hundreds of items. I'm not sure which is going to be in yet. But join us. It is happening Father's Day weekend. It is starting, I think, on Thursday, maybe Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 15th through the 17th here at the Mercury Studios. I'm going to be here all weekend. We'll be giving tours.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Everybody else, I think, Stu, you're giving tours as well. And we're going to take you backstage. We're going to show you and unveil something that we have talked about for quite a while. a building project that we have spoken about that is underway now, and we're going to be announcing it publicly that weekend, and you're going to be the first to be able to see it. It's happening at the Mercury Studios. You can learn more information and buy tickets at Mercury 1.org slash museum 2018.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Mercury1.org slash Museum 2018. Come and see the pop-up museum here at the Mercury Studios. the week of June 15th through the 17th here in Texas. And I'd love to see you. And for all the scholars that may be coming to the museum, you should know, mercury one.org. Thank you. If you just type in number one, it doesn't go anywhere.
Starting point is 01:11:39 It doesn't go anywhere. No. And for all of the scholars that may have wanted to correct me on the last story, Doris was not 3 foot 6, but rather 6 foot 3. I legitimately spent the rest of that story feeling like, oh my gosh, like a little person was able to do all these amazing things in World War II? You wouldn't think that necessarily it was an accepting society at that time.
Starting point is 01:12:02 I really kind of wrecked the story, didn't I? It did distract me. I will say, I thought a 3.6 guy. I didn't mean to do that. Because it seemed like there was a lot of things that required height in that story. He couldn't even, you know what's really amazing? He got the Navy Cross because he couldn't even reach the spoon to dish out the oatmeal.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Incredible. It was, yeah, he was three foot six. A lot of people writing and saying Cuba Gooding Jr. played Doris Miller in Pearl Harbor. The arguably forgettable Ben Affleck movie from back of the day.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Yeah, I try to block most Ben Affleck movies. Yeah. He's had a mixture. Did you see any movies while you were on vacation? Saw Solo, yes. How was it?
Starting point is 01:12:45 I think it was, it's been getting killed by, by the, press and I think honestly it was certainly fine and at times pretty good what an endorsement Well I mean it wasn't it was
Starting point is 01:13:00 For Star Wars movies not my favorite Better than the prequels And I mean like it wasn't a bad movie Well there was nothing worse My argument with it is The only problem with it Is it's May release It's too close
Starting point is 01:13:13 You push this thing to Christmas And the anticipation You know kind of builds again For another Star Wars movie they rush this one. They just came out with a movie at Christmas. And now they're coming out with another one in May. It's too close. And so I think they've learned that lesson, I think, after this, because it did not do... Yeah, Disney's not really hurting, though. With Star Wars and Marvel, they're not hurting. Look, the movie did nine figures and everyone's calling it a disappointment. So, I mean, it's not that bad. But still, it's worth seeing. It's, it, there's nothing inherently wrong with it. Jeez. So I made the mistake of trying the other night to watch television with my entire family.
Starting point is 01:14:00 That is no longer possible. Has anybody tried to watch? I mean, anybody who hasn't just gone dead to the world? Are there any writers or producers or networks or anybody? Is there anybody in America that can write good, funny comedy, compelling? sci-fi action adventure or history without sex, the F-word, gender fluid preaching, frankly, any preaching about anything. Just telling a good story is or anybody that can do that? Because I for one would really like to see, you know, a good show with good actors, good direction,
Starting point is 01:14:39 maybe some artistic value. You know, it'd be nice to sit as a whole family and watch. It can't be just me who is sitting there night after night trying to find a anything. Most times all we do is, okay, what does everybody want to watch? About an hour into it after checking out trailers and watching a little bit of this or that. Usually an hour later, I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to bed if nobody can agree on anything. So we decided that we were going to, we were going to watch something. Me, my sensitive 12-year-old girl, my 13-year-old, all boy, a mom who doesn't want to watch. anything. I think she'd go for Little House
Starting point is 01:15:22 in the Prairie now because even Downton Abbey was getting a little racy there at the end. A little morally reckless, I think. We started watching what is it, Brooklyn 9-9. Andy Sandberg, the sitcom?
Starting point is 01:15:38 I don't know. I only got about five minutes of it. I don't know. We were all there. I was laughing. My son was laughing. My daughter was laughing a little bit. Kind of not really, but within five minutes they started talking about sex and swear words and mom said turn it off we're not watching this anymore okay all right okay all right well i'm with you i'm with you okay okay now that limits
Starting point is 01:16:04 our possibilities okay but let's go hey you know what i heard about cobra kai it's on youtube red i don't know anything about youtube bread but let's try that i hear a lot of people are watching it's Highly watched. It's based, honey, on karate kid. That's totally harmless. What could go wrong? Here, let's watch the trailer. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Didn't make it past the trailer. Didn't make it past the trailer. I mean, Gobra Kai is totally fine. If you as a family don't mind the F word, a hole, and other refined cultural gems in the trailer. When is lost in space coming back? Have they renewed that? They haven't canceled it yet, have they?
Starting point is 01:16:48 Is it just me? It cannot just be me. But there's only two, there seems to be only two kinds of television that are being made right now. This is supposed to be the golden era. But I only get two kinds. First kind, and I can't watch it. You know, the movies or the TV shows produced by a church group,
Starting point is 01:17:17 and they create a poorly written, poorly acted story about a girl who's pregnant and has cancer. In the first episode calls an evil abortion doctor names, most of which he deserves, but not because of the abortion, but because in this episode he also beats his wife. And he's also the chief dragon master in the occult. And they end up in court because Christians have to be silenced. And just when it looks like the abortion doctor is more evil than any of the evilest characters you've ever seen on television ever before, an evil judge steps up, who just happened.
Starting point is 01:17:51 to secretly hate Jesus Christ because of the death of his younger brother when he was six. How can there be a God? He shouts with tears in one of the many cheesy flashback scenes if Jesus won't even save an innocent child. And just as it looks as though he doesn't get what everyone else gets, even those who haven't seen the movie. He can be the one who saves these innocent children now.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Suddenly his eyes are open when Cancer Girl says, you must be the Lord's hands, which reminds him of what his mother said to him as they were helping an elderly woman just before she was killed by a drunk driving parishioner in the church parking lot on the day of my first communion. Why, there must not be a God? But in the end, the abortion doctor is baptized, and the judge's mother is found to be alive, and yet the girl with cancer dies. But her child lives on to continue her good work as she falls in love with a country's singing soldier. Who doesn't get enough of those movies?
Starting point is 01:18:56 That's the first one I can't take any more of. Okay. Then I, you know, I don't even know. I don't, I'd like to blame this on the Disney Channel, but it's deeper than that. Disney is actually, I can't say one of the better ones. Nope, I can't defend them at all. It's the, I guess it's, look, I don't want any of the, I'm, why does everybody assume that we all agree with Occupy Wall Street and this new neo-Marxism and post-modernism?
Starting point is 01:19:32 Wait, how come everybody just assumes we're okay with gender fluidity? And there has to be, you know, in every, in every episode of Barney, the kids are making out. it's almost it's almost as if disney went and took the entire cast in writing team of small wonder you remember that show oh yeah it's almost like they took the entire staff in writing team and then fired them for being too highbrow an important expose that series
Starting point is 01:20:07 so then they go out and I think they hired instead of writers they just hired monkeys and a group of women's studies professors to write all the scripts. I think that's what they've done. Then they grabbed a fourth grade acting class, a bum off the street to direct, and built a neon colored set for the interior of every single house that the parents are in and gave tickets who are in the middle of dental surgery and under the effects of laughing gas, they give tickets to those people.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Now, besides the parents being idiots, the children's, the children rule the house by throwing poop and that was i will say that came from the monkey riders and all of them are pretentious little sluts who make the Kardashians look like nuns and whose house and lifestyles just like the average american family assuming the father is a world-renowned brain surgeon and mom is a movie star and the best new york attorney who also happens to be the biggest name on wall street as a part-time trader i think that's the you know they lead the average american life now by the way i want you to know with every disney show it's now important that dad stays home to take care of the kids because, well, I mean, women are all powerful and shouldn't have to work at home.
Starting point is 01:21:20 It's so demeaning. And we all know that raising kids is really done by the public schools in the community anyway. And dads are stupid and reckless and bigoted sexist. I mean, especially if they're white. So our TV dad screwed up during, you know, one of his brain surgeries because he thought he was using the brain of Hans Delbrook, scientist and saint. Instead, he was actually using the brain of Abby, somebody or rather. Yes, it was his assistance fault, another man, of course. And then somehow it gets a little fuzzy. The doctor was apparently shot or something. He lost an arm during the surgery somehow.
Starting point is 01:21:55 The details are kind of unclear, but we're told very clearly that it wasn't due to some illegal bomb making or something. He's just a stupid man, stupid, sloppy man. But mom is there and not there for the kids, but she shouldn't have to be because the patriarchy is evil. that part was written by the professors, by the way. And I don't know if I mentioned this is probably not important, but they're a non-white family living in Sweden, again, the monkey team. And all we know is that they're immigrants from the Middle East who love everything about their new country except for the culture and the people.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Oh, and homosexuals, women, and education for girls and Christianity. The first episode revolves around the kids not being able to study because of the intolerant neighborhood church bells. The kids can't even sleep and they're so oppressed, Mom, the bells, they're mocking us. So for the good of everybody, the bells need to be silenced to stop the microaggression of the Netherland Christian patriarchy. Good thing, Mom is an experienced tourney, right? They win, but later, due to the oppression of the welfare state, they find themselves in court again.
Starting point is 01:23:03 This time, they keep missing mosque because there's no daily call to prayer. Mom misses it because her watch is kind of hard to read due to the black lace over her face and the fact that her eyes are almost swollen shut due to the fact that her husband beats her. The latest beating was after she questioned why it took so long for him and their son to return home after the honor killing of their homosexual daughter who had become a slut only because of Western values and imperialism. Anyway, it's a very special episode, the first one, starring the Nobel Prize winner Barack Obama. It's a powerful show about powerful women and a family that is just like yours.
Starting point is 01:23:37 if yours wasn't so hateful and bigoted. Can we get a normal TV show that is not preaching one or the other? I would just like to be entertained. And what is normal, Mr. Beck? Let me guess. A white family doing white things, whitely. No, it's just. There is a sweet spot is hard to hit right now.
Starting point is 01:24:06 There is no sweet spot. Now you can't because you're right. There is no sweet spot. There is great television out there. Great television. Some of the best television that has ever existed. We've said this before. I think it's the golden age of television.
Starting point is 01:24:16 It is. There's so much to watch. But there is so little to watch with your kids. Yeah. I mean, an entire family, I was trying to think as you were going through that, there are shows I watch with my son that are fine or great.
Starting point is 01:24:27 But like that my wife would want to watch, that my daughter would want to watch? Like I don't know where you. My daughter watches like the Disney Channel stuff. And it is awful. It is awful. Just awful. awful. In the
Starting point is 01:24:42 moral sense or just bad television. You name it. It's got all of it. It's awful. It's awful. My son can't take it. He just, I mean, he wants to watch Gotham. Okay, that's a, okay, all right. You just might have a family of people who like different things.
Starting point is 01:25:06 No, yeah, I, no, but there's, is there nothing in between is there nothing in between sugar saccharine you know preachy nonsense or sugar saccharine bashing of the family and
Starting point is 01:25:22 and you know here's full on look at the brain splattered all over the wall television can I get something in between can you get a moral brain brain splattering
Starting point is 01:25:35 would be helpful I don't even need it to be moral right I don't even need it to be moral right I don't even need it to be moral I'm so far past that. You know what? Just just don't offend the sensibility of the traditional family. That's it.
Starting point is 01:25:49 That's all I'm asking for. You can do whatever you want elsewhere. Just give me one show. Just one. I think they tried to do that with like the singing competition shows. It's the only thing. That's the type of stuff. You know what?
Starting point is 01:26:02 Dancing with the stars and the voice and American Idol and all that stuff. America's got talent. It's like the only thing that you can watch. It's a family. That's it. And that's why those shows are huge. Huge. So who isn't into making money in Hollywood? Who is?
Starting point is 01:26:18 What is the problem? There's lots of money. It shows that there is a big market for Leave Me Alone Television. That's what I like to call it. Leave me alone television. There's a big market there. Why leave me alone? Just don't preach to me.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Don't try to change me. Just entertain me. Well, leave me alone. It used to be sports, and now all we do is talk about the national anthem. Yeah, so I guess you can't even do that. You could be, what about Roseanne? Are you on the Roseanne bandwagon at all? No, because that reminds me of politics.
Starting point is 01:26:52 It does. It does bring that in. By the way, watch it while it lasts. Because Roseanne tweeting today about Valerie Jarrett. You know this story? No. If you have those shows recorded, keep them on the DVR, because they're not going to be popping up again soon.
Starting point is 01:27:08 I mean, who knows with this stuff? But in this world, tell me this is not going to get this show canceled. She tweeted, Valerie Jarrett, is the baby of the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes. Okay. Yeah. That probably will, uh, yeah, that'll probably put in the end of the show. In case you had that one that you really liked. You didn't see it.
Starting point is 01:27:31 Might be too late. Leave me alone. Just to entertain me. I'm looking for the cakes and circus. at this point. I'm begging for the cakes and circuses. Although it does look like I've had my share of cake lately. Let me tell you about Car Shield. If you've ever taken your car in for an oil change,

And I also don't have to go, oh, geez, okay, that's inappropriate language. That's inappropriate behavior.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Or annoying politics. Or annoying politics on either side. Yep. You know, I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. I mean, really, sports was this escape. And now, you know, half of the sports programming is about, you know, whether you're kneeling for anthems. you know, what, what oppression occurred to one of the athletes.
Starting point is 01:29:47 What athlete who makes, you know, $26 million a year thinks of himself as a slave? And I love that. You guys call yourself owners. Yeah, not of you. Of the freaking team. I'm not, you know, and I like, like Gotham. I think Gotham is one of the best shows on television. But it's not something I can watch with my family.
Starting point is 01:30:08 It's not something I could watch. So I need family shows. And you know what? We end up watching. We end up watching like, what is it? Lord of Iron or whatever that thing is. Where they're, you know, you're making swords and you're a, you've ever seen that?
Starting point is 01:30:25 Or like modern marvels. Yeah, you're ending up watching, you know, reality shows. And that's not bad, but, I mean, there's such great stories. I mean, you go to the history channel. You go to the, you know, those types of things. And you get a lot of the stuff that you can watch. but you're in like borderline academic content at times
Starting point is 01:30:48 and then you can go to like things like what's the myths show, Mythbusters Yeah, Mythbusters. Like that type of stuff where I can get in there But again, it's Tanya you got to want to watch MythBust Is your daughter going to watch Miss Bustmers? No, she's not.
Starting point is 01:31:03 No, they're not. To find something that navigates that is really difficult. You know, Cupcake Wars. My son's not going to watch Cupcake Wars. See, that one I would think your son. would like cupcakes. Oh, he's adopted. Okay.
Starting point is 01:31:15 He's adopted, so he didn't have that gene. The love of the baked goods is not necessarily built up. No. He's got a thing about being fat, so I don't know why. He's always had since he was a kid. Really? He was like, he would stand in front of the fireplace. I'll never forget.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Stand in front of the fireplace. And like three. And like try to flex his muscles and like, he'd catch him. looking at himself all the time going, I am, I'm just built. You're like, what is the deal? Anyway, what could he bench at three? What was he? Probably more than you could do now.
Starting point is 01:31:52 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Okay. Definitely. Yeah. Did you see, here's some family programming I watched over vacation you might enjoy. Evil genius on Netflix? I want to watch it?
Starting point is 01:32:04 Evil genius? Oh, my God, it's amazing. Again, Mark Duplas, who we've had on the show before. Oh, is this the, uh, the, the, the true story of, What was it again? The true story of, if you remember this, and I think it was 2004, maybe it happened, 2003, a guy who was a pizza delivery man who robs a bank with a device around his neck.
Starting point is 01:32:29 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the police stop him and they're questioning him. He's like, there's a bomb on my neck. I got to go to the next step in this. Yeah, that's one I don't want to watch with the family. No, it's great. I love it. And when they show the body explode.
Starting point is 01:32:41 Yeah. because news flash the bomb goes off when that happens I think you know I'm actually very interested in that except I'm not because like I
Starting point is 01:32:53 it's honestly I want I want to escape I just want to escape I know but these true crime things they're doing now the wild wild country is another one on the same and it was the Duplas brothers again that they're doing great
Starting point is 01:33:06 great television yeah but this this this one that just one that came out of that story. It is an insane story. The guy who made the documentary, you know, the main sort of character in it, who's kind of covering and he's talking to the people in the story, worked on the story for like 15 years.
Starting point is 01:33:25 He'd been working for 15 years on this story. And it all comes together in four easy to digest episodes. But the story is insane. It's completely insane. Well worth your time. Maybe not with your whole family. So Memorial Day was yesterday, and if you weren't ready for summer, it's coming. It's here.
Starting point is 01:33:50 People are going to be outside. People love the warm weather. And when you have warm weather, you know what happens. The housing market kicks into high gear. People are out. They don't mind. They don't want to go through the snow and the slush in the northeast during the winter. But when it comes to the weather warming up, it's kind of nice to go out.
Starting point is 01:34:09 and look at some homes. That's why if you're looking to sell your home, this might be a great time to do it. Real estate agentsitrust.com is a great place for you to go to find the real estate agent in your area. That is right for you. It's important that you have some sort of qualifications.

Starting point is 01:34:45 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Elizabeth is on the line. Hello, Elizabeth. You. Good. How are you? I'm assuming your first thing was how. It could have been something much worse. Or the beginning of a question and just cut her off. Are you? Okay. Anyway, Elizabeth, what's happening? Yes. Yes. Not much. I just figured at first I'd say hi from Texas. We're over in in South Lakes. So we're not too far. Not too far. No. Yeah, good. But yeah, I've got a son
Starting point is 01:35:15 and a daughter and we run into the same issue with trying to find things to watch. Yeah. It is just, it is almost next to impossible. So we've given up the actual network TV or the cable TV route. And what we do is we get the old seasons from, I think the kids' favorite so far has been Stargate.
Starting point is 01:35:31 You know, the old Richard Dean Anderson. They love it. I will tell you, my kids, we have gone through the Lucy we've gone through you know Dick Van Dyke we've gone through little house my my kids love there's two of them that they love and that is everyone loves Raymond and
Starting point is 01:35:51 the Cosby Show they love the Cosby Show it was a hard summer to explain to my kids that Dr. Huxtable is in prison now that happened on the air by the way yeah because Cheyenne was visiting that day and sitting in the studio, which she does,
Starting point is 01:36:12 which is adorable, by the way. Glenn has her just sitting in the studio. We're just doing the show and she's just hanging out with us. She likes it once in a while. She's like, Dad, I want to go to work with you. It's cool until we started talking about how Bill Cosby was a rapist.
Starting point is 01:36:22 And it got a little, a little tance in the studio because we were on the air and I'm like, no, no, no. Did things that maybe some people didn't enjoy as much as. She's like, Dr. Huxstable is a rapist? Yeah, honey, but we'll talk about that later.
Starting point is 01:36:44 Thanks, Elizabeth. It doesn't overshadow his incredible medical efforts. No, no, no, no, he's still funny. How many lives did he save on that show? Lots. Millions? Probably billions. Billions of lives.
Starting point is 01:36:59 Now, I'm not saying that outweighs. You know, his fake life. medical practice doesn't quite overrule his real life rape. Really? That's just a, and you're basing that on morals? Right. So do you watch would you allow your kids to, I mean, would you
Starting point is 01:37:20 show them the Cosby show now? Because it's still good. It still has good things to teach. It's really funny. It's just the guy turns out to be a rapist. Surprise! But that's that, that would, They didn't even clue that in the finale. It's after the finale. So you never find out he's a rapist on the show.
Starting point is 01:37:39 Yeah. True. I don't think I would. There's too much baggage. You're trying to get a nice message to your kids. I think you'd try to find another show. Seriously, name one better than the Cosby show. Without the rapist part.
Starting point is 01:37:52 Name a better one than the Cosby show. For family viewing? I mean, I can't. I don't know. I can't think of one. You said everybody loves Raymond, but that was tons of sex jokes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:07 All the humor was him wanting to have sex with his wife. Well, he wanted to have sex with his wife. There wasn't a lot of sex in it was just him begging. Right, yeah. But a lot of that, right? Yeah. If I remember, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:18 It's funny kids are used to that. So you see that all the time. You can see that all the time. It's like watching our family. So no big deal. Well, there's always sci-fi. You know, there's always Star Trek geekdom. You can get into that.
Starting point is 01:38:32 We did. Of course, you know, you're getting progressivism there too. But it's not. I'm getting socialism. Yeah. It's fine. Yeah. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:38:43 Yeah. You know, I can handle it in 3,000 years. Not going to affect me. Right. Whatever. Exactly. You know. There's a lot of those.
Starting point is 01:38:51 Babylon 5 was a great series. Great series. Really? There's a lot of episodes, too. That's kind of sad, isn't it? It's too. Not a sad. I knew that's the reception.
Starting point is 01:39:02 It's kind of like, it's kind of like Battlestar Galactica is one of my favorites. Well, the new one is good. Well, there's a new one. Well, it's old now, but it was the updated. The one with Lauren Crean? No. No. No.
Starting point is 01:39:14 No. Not the one with Lauren Green. Because that was. Yeah, the one with the updated one. The updated one from the 80s. Where Starbucker is not, wasn't that his name? No, that's a coffee shop. Is a woman.
Starting point is 01:39:27 No. Isn't that, what's that his name? Starbuck? Yeah, I think so. I think it was. Right. Did he do training? Did he let black people use the bathroom? No. No.
Starting point is 01:39:36 No, no. So he's learned since then. Probably his name. Probably his name. We haven't had a single person call about Starbucks today. That's true. We were looking to see. Well, I guess, but they may be in the middle of their diversity training.
Starting point is 01:39:51 It is happening today, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you can't go today. So they've solved the problem of not letting people into their restaurants by not letting anyone into their restaurants. So there's a double meaning there, what he just said. You can't go. You can't go into Starbucks.
Starting point is 01:40:05 And if you're in Starbucks, you can't go today. Later on today, they're going to open up and you can go both times. And you can go and you don't have to buy anything and you can just lounge around and you can use their bathroom. You cannot use, you cannot use fingernail clippers though. You can't. No. I'm dead serious. Really?
Starting point is 01:40:21 You cannot clip your nails in Starbucks. No. That's a real rule. That's a real rule. It's a good rule. It's a good rule. It's a good solid rule. You know, I had a solution for that 30-year-old.
Starting point is 01:40:32 kid who was kicked out of his parents' house, you should move into Starbucks. Why doesn't he just... That's a really good one. Rent free. Yeah, I like that. And they can't kick you out. They can't kick you out. You've got a bathroom.
Starting point is 01:40:44 You could shower in the sink. Yeah. Unless he's watching porn or clipping his fingernails. Then they might booing out. Or smoking. You cannot smoke. You cannot watch porn and you can't clip your finger nails. Those are the three rules of Starbucks?
Starting point is 01:40:58 Those are the three rules. You wouldn't necessarily think a coffee restaurant would want to associate it. itself with, you know, clipped fingernails and porn. No, but you got to draw the line somewhere. You do, yeah, I suppose. You know, imagine the sitting around and you're like, okay, so what are we not going to allow?
Starting point is 01:41:17 Can you comb your hair? Yes, of course you can comb your hair. Can you pick your nose? Well, we can't regulate against. Okay, can you clip your fingernails? Come on, Pete. That's ridiculous. Of course, you can't clip your finger.
Starting point is 01:41:31 Then write it. down. That must have been a fun meeting. It must have been a fun meeting. Would have liked to have been there. Yeah. Yeah. Unfortunately, no.
Starting point is 01:41:41 Did you guys see Solo over the weekend? I did. And what did you think of it? I thought it was not getting very good reviews. No, it's getting hammered. You know what his review is? What? It's not entirely, there's nothing inherently wrong with it.
Starting point is 01:41:54 That is that was his review. There was nothing inherently wrong with it. I actually, I loved it. I thought it was really good. I mean, like it wasn't, it wasn't. It is my fourth favorite Star Wars movie. I think it's better than
Starting point is 01:42:06 anything they've done since 1983. Oh, I disagree with that. I disagree with that. I put it as... Name the better movie since 1983. The Force Awakens and Rogue One. No. Not even close.
Starting point is 01:42:17 But I will say... Force Awakens is awful. I love the Force Awakens. Oh my gosh. That's a terrible movie. Save the entire series. Which one was that? With the red face guy?
Starting point is 01:42:25 No, that was... It was the one before the last one, right? It was right before the last. It was the first one of this. The first Disney one. The first Disney one. We all got, spoiler alert. Geez, I mean, come on.
Starting point is 01:42:37 Yeah, and you know what? Darth is his dad, too. Oh, my gosh. That's cool. Yeah. That's the biggest secret of the whole franchise. And Yota used to be a Muppet. They don't even use the Muppet anymore.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Yeah, no, I mean, I loved it because it brought it back from the depths of the prequels. Yeah. So I did, I really like. And I thought Rogue One was pretty solid, too. This is what I liked, though. Rogue one was okay. I think this is far. superior to Roguewood.
Starting point is 01:43:03 Do you agree with me that the bulk of the bad press that it's getting is as a result of its May release rather than waiting a whole year. They only waited five months. They're like, let's see if we can turn two of these things out a year. And it's like people, like it's too rushed. Like I'm, the anticipation hasn't come back for a new Star Wars yet. Yeah. And so it's like if they would do, if they had delivered this in December, I think it would have been
Starting point is 01:43:25 fine and done. So it was at least a year. Yeah. Yeah. It needs to be a year at least. I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it coming out every six months. But, you know, everybody wants to go with this new narrative that we've got Star Wars fatigue.
Starting point is 01:43:41 I don't. I just have bad movie fatigue. Give me a good movie and I'll love it. And I liked it. I liked it too. I walked out of their enjoy it. I think you turned the franchise over to Ron Howard. Just let him do it.
Starting point is 01:43:52 I thought that was a problem. Quite honestly, I think that's a problem. Why didn't they lead with that? Seriously. What do you mean? I mean. That Ron Howard did it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:01 I know. I know I read about it. That's a huge selling point for me. My kids went to it and they said, oh, dad, I really, really liked it. And they said, did you know it was Ron Howard? And I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. They said, it was really good. And I said, of course it is.
Starting point is 01:44:15 It's Ron Howard. And then I thought, why aren't they saying a Ron Howard film? I think it's because the way he got it. Yeah, they're embarrassed that he's like the third guy. Yeah. He came in to fix it because they had so many problems with it. And I think that's, that's, That's also part of the reason why I think whatever problems they had.
Starting point is 01:44:34 I didn't notice what they were because he smoothed it over. It seemed like it was great. Yeah, there was a couple things that I didn't like in it. But overall, I thought it was generally good. Did you think there was a place where you could tell? Oh, yeah, Ron Howard took over right here. Can you turn off the mics and just say that one thing that you said? No.
Starting point is 01:44:48 No, you can't. I'm not going to do that. I just want to see if he agreed with it. Because you're so bad at things like this. Well, I mean, the fact that you think I'm bad at movies, shit tells the audience how good I am at it. That's what the audience is. When it comes to any kind of anything other than a documentary or, you love, yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:09 I mean, you're just not, you're not somebody who enjoys fantasy at all. I don't like, I'm not a big superhero movie guy. Or Lord of the Rings type. Or Lord of the Rings guy. Which good thing, Star Wars is not like either of those. Right. What do you, what, Star Wars is not a superhero movie. It's a totally different than that.
Starting point is 01:45:27 It's sci-fi. And I could get into sci-fi. I like a lot of the sci-fi stuff. There is a line there and I don't know what it is. I mean, I have a... I'm trying to remember. No one knows what it is. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:45:37 Yoda lives in a little cave like a hobbit. He goes, we got that. You know, they've got superpowers where they can just move things around and choke people from across the room. Sounds like Marvel to me. I mean, it's the same thing. It's not the same thing.
Starting point is 01:45:55 It's not at all the same thing. Star Wars is a, is a legendary series that sure there's elements of what you can describe some similarities but I think it's deeper than that you know and I don't know I've always loved the Star Wars I will tell you Star Wars is philosophically
Starting point is 01:46:13 sound philosophically interesting right it's so deep philosophically and mythically it's just so great I have grown to have an appreciation of Marvel I did not grow up with comic books I don't I don't know anything about the comic book world but I tell you
Starting point is 01:46:28 the more I rate is really into Marvel now. And the more I learn about Marvel and how deep and intertwined these stories are, it's really, it's really well thought out. It's really, really, really well done.
Starting point is 01:46:45 And then now they have the flash, the flashback movies like Solo, like Rogue One, where they can fix the mistakes they had from previous movies. They'd be like, oh, by the way, that was intentional the whole time!
Starting point is 01:46:56 That was the thing they did in Rogue One. Or like, for what? 30 years, the criticism of Star Wars was like, why would they leave a shaft to the middle of the freaking death star? Because we did it on purpose. Because we did it on purpose. We swear.
Starting point is 01:47:15 Thank you very much. Stu. And thank you very much. Pat. Pat Gray Radio Roundup, I think, is what he's calling it. Yep. That's exactly it. Pat Gray and his orchestra coming up in about 15 minutes
Starting point is 01:47:26 here only on the Blaze Radio Network. All right. I want to tell you a little bit about Lifeline. Have you seen the thing that the FBI put out over the weekend about, Hey, everybody should, if you got a router, you should turn it off and turn it on again. Yeah, I actually did it too. Did you do it? I was like, I should probably do that.
Starting point is 01:47:48 Luckily, my router's on an app so I didn't have to walk upstairs. This is how bad it's. This is how bad it is for me. I'm like, well, that doesn't make sense. What do you mean turn it on and turn on? C-Net was like, what exactly? is that going to do? They're like, well, I could slow it down.
Starting point is 01:48:06 So I'm stuck in this place of, okay, well, wait, Russia is apparently trying to hack into routers. The FBI has issued a warning, but I don't really trust that the FBI is not trying to hack into my router either. You know what I'm not sure the federal government is not trying to hack into my router. And the turn it off and on thing, that's what everybody at the Apple store says to you that pisses you off. Yeah, but they're geniuses. I never thought of it that way. There are a lot of threats in today's digital world, and LifeLock Identity Thief Protection now includes the power of Norton's security for added protection.
Starting point is 01:48:44 LifeLock uses proprietary technology to help protect against identity theft like your information for sale on the dark web. No big deal. Norton helps protect you against the online threats like ransomware. So if you have a problem, how are you going to deal with it? Well, if you have these guys, they have a lot. agents who are going to work to fix it. Nobody can stop all cyber threats or prevent all identity thefts or monitor all transactions at all businesses. But with LifeLock and the new Norton security, they are unable to uncover the threats that you might otherwise miss and most

Starting point is 01:51:01 There's nothing. the real world. I don't. It's not the real world. Well, it is actually more of the real world. But nobody ends up in bed with one of the artifacts. Did you ask history if you could put your hands on it? Whoa.
