The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
So glad that you've joined us today.
Boy, we've got a lot to talk about.
The radicals are becoming so incredibly radical
that the left better wake up.
I should say the Democrats better wake up
because they are coming for you now.
Acacio Cortez,
It looks like she's going to run for Chuck Schumer's seat.
Oh, I bet that makes him happy.
Oh, I bet he's thrilled about that.
We'll have that.
And a little talk about the latest in abortion.
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse?
Oh, it has.
We begin there in one minute.
This is the Glembeck program.
All right, let me tell you a little bit about our sponsor.
this half hour. It's real estate agents.
I trust.com.
You can trust them with your
biggest investment. That is
what your house is. It's your biggest
investment. And
we just look for a real estate agent
somebody who is going to handle that
transaction. You know,
by what? By asking friends
Hey, you know anybody? Yeah.
I got a cousin
who just started. No.
No, that's not the way you handle your
biggest investment.
You interview.
You get the right person.
Now, we've done a lot of this work for you.
We still want you to do your own homework.
But we have found the best real estate agents all across the country.
Hopefully, we have one right in your area that is the best at what they do.
Now, we know this is the best because many of these guys outsell all other agents combined in your area.
That means they have a system.
And I don't mean like, A, V those are.
got a system. It's unbeatable. What I mean is they know how to price the house. They know how to
advertise the house. They know how to close on a house. If you're looking to buy or sell, we have
real estate agents.itrust.com. Go there now and find the right real estate agent for you. Real
estate agents I trust.com. I want to ask you a question in Georgia. Why are police looking into this
at all? In Georgia, in Georgia,
authorities are looking for a mother of a baby just a few hours old
that was found wrapped in a plastic bag in the woods
why
why are we looking for her to make sure she's okay
are we are we looking for her because
we want to congratulate her on making such a brave choice
a man came home with his daughters
They were unloading grocery bags from their car at 10 o'clock.
They heard a sound in the woods.
At first, they just thought they heard an animal in distress.
But that's not what they heard.
They followed the sound just to see what was going on,
and instead of an animal in distress,
they realized that it was a human animal in distress.
It was a human baby.
We went down,
We pulled this sack up and there was a, quote, poor little baby wrapped in a plastic bag.
We called 911.
She was alive.
She was crying.
And we figured that was a good sign.
The man credited his daughters was saving the little girl and acknowledged that it could have been much, much worse.
In a news conference on Friday, the sheriff said it was divine intervention.
Boy, is that sheriff out of touch?
He believes in God? He's talking about God?
I bet he's one of these guys who's like, thoughts and prayers to the baby.
Georgia has what's known as a safe haven law,
which permits the mother of the child to drop her baby off at a hospital, police, or fire station
until the baby is seven days old without fear of any prosecution.
But maybe mom didn't know.
Maybe there's not enough government programs out there that alerted her to this law.
Maybe mom did know, but she didn't really care because, I mean, it's not really a baby.
She didn't have the money, even though it's now federally funded.
Maybe she didn't have the money.
She didn't have the access.
Maybe she was too embarrassed.
Maybe she changed her mind at the last minute.
When do we stop calling this a fetus and when do we declare that it's a baby?
Five minutes, two hours.
We don't even know how old it was when mom dropped the baby off.
She might have had the plastic bag ready to go.
As soon as she had the baby, she wrapped it up and then walked out into the woods some way and deposited the baby.
The fetus.
The thing.
The baby, by the way, is in stable condition.
Now, you think that I'm being sarcastic on all of this,
but all of these things are actual questions that we need to answer now.
How radical is leftist feminism at this point?
How radical has it become?
Well, a radical feminist, her name is Sophie Lewis,
now describes pregnancy as gestational work.
and an abortion as an acceptable violence,
a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.
Well, at least we're now talking about killing.
At least she's brought that word up into play.
We're facing a terrible attack on abortion.
She says the strategies that have been used on the left
have tended to include the kind of,
of seeding ground, quote, on with her enemies.
We tend to say that abortion is indeed very bad, but luckily it's not killing.
Luckily, it's just a health care right.
We have very little to lose at the moment when it comes to abortion, and I'm interested in winning
radically, she writes.
I wonder if we could think about defending abortion as a right to stop doing gestational work.
abortion is, in my opinion, and I recognize how controversial this is, a form of killing.
It is a form of killing that we need to be able to defend.
I'm not interested in where human life starts to exist.
I see the forms of making and unmaking each other as continuous processes.
The other end of the spectrum is learning how to die well and hold each other and let each other go at the end of our lives.
now it's just at the beginning as well.
But looking at the biology helps me think about the violence
that innocently a fetus meets out vis-a-vis a gestator.
The violence is an unacceptable violence for someone who doesn't want to do the gestational work.
The violence that the gestator meets is essentially just going on strike.
or exit that workplace, and that's acceptable violence.
In a recent interview, this author, summarized by a reporter in the nation, a very liberal magazine,
says that she specifically links family abolition to a radical reconceptualization of pregnancy itself.
The act of carrying a child to term, she insists, is work, labor that has long been exploited and overlooked by the academy, and so is mothering.
Boy, I want to have a baby with her.
What a good mom she would make.
Meanwhile, the radicalization of abortion continues.
CEOs from 180 companies, including Twitter.
H&M, Slack, Postmates, Yelp, Tinder, Ben and Jerry's ice cream,
have signed a letter that says it's time for companies to stand up for reproductive health care.
Restricting abortion is bad for business.
Though the letter doesn't make any real connection between the availability of abortion
and the business climate of a particular state, instead they claim restricting
reproductive freedom is against our values. States that threaten abortion, threaten the health,
independence, economic stability of our employees and customers. Equality in the workplace is one of the
most important business issues of our time. When everyone is empowered to succeed, our companies,
our communities, and our economy are better for it. So wait, restricting abortion is somehow
or another restricting your ability to succeed?
Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion,
threatens the health, independence, and economic stability of our employees and customers.
Simply put, it goes against our values, and it is bad for business.
What a surprise, this is coming from Planned Parenthood and the ACLU.
And because now the ACLU is involved, and we know that the chairman of Joe Biden,
Biden's campaign was the exiting president of the ACLU that has transformed the ACLU into a street riot gang.
We're going to be seeing protests on the street for this.
We are going to see the left rise up against any of these states.
May I just suggest good.
Good.
At least they're admitting that it's killing.
At least they're admitting now that it's all about business.
Because that's all that Planned Parenthood is.
Abortion restrictions, they are bad for business if you're Planned Parenthood.
Now on the other side, without any sense of shame or irony,
New York, which is allowing abortion up to the last five minutes of birth and possibly even after,
they've just passed a new law that says you can't declaw your cat.
Now, you might have heard this story before because it came out over the weekend,
but let me kind of go into how the New York Times,
talked about declawing your cat without any sense of, wow, maybe we have things upside down.
Without any of that, let me describe what the New York Times did this weekend, and I'll go there next.
We're a break for one minute here to tell you about Relief Factor.
If you're in pain, the best thing you can do is take a three-week quick start of Relief Factor.
Now, this is for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
You take these, you take, I think it's three or four pills.
I don't know.
I jam them in my mouth.
I take them every single day and you remarkably will feel better.
And I should say, on all honesty, only 70% of those who take it feel better.
I did not think I would be one of those people.
I am.
I've been taking it every day.
for 18 months and I feel dramatically better.

We pause for 10 seconds station ID.
Okay.
If you remember right,
Twitter
just told Abby Johnson
and I think Lila Rose
that they cannot,
they can't advertise on Twitter,
they can't promote
on Twitter, and the reason
why is because they
show what
abortion procedures are like.
You know, they'll have little drawings of
you might have seen them last couple of weeks.
People are, you know, doing clinical drawings of what happens in an abortion procedure.
They're not graphic.
They're just true.
And the social media has come out and said, you can't share that.
In fact, Twitter has come out and said it's so offensive that you have to remove it from your own website,
if you would like us to consider doing anything with you.
So wait.
So wait.
They're not allowed to talk about abortion.
They're not allowed to show sonograms.
And they're also not allowed to talk about Planned Parenthood.
But other than that, these pro-life groups, they can use Twitter all they want.
They just have to remove that from their website and from all their tweets.
So it is apparently two.
It's just too jarring to see what happens with cats, or I mean, with people.
But you can have that drawing with cats in the New York Times.
You can explain the procedure on cats, on what they do to declaw.
But we dare not even discuss what happens to humans.
if you try to kill it.
They went into great detail about what happens with cats
and how the cats are declawed
and what that means to the poor cats.
And it's all for, of course, our vanity.
It's because we put our furniture over cats.
It's kind of like how we put our careers over babies.
Which one is more grotesque?
We love our cats.
I don't.
I hate cats.
But many people strangely find something attractive about cats.
And so, yeah, they don't want them destroying the house.
Well, I don't want my dog destroying the house either.
That's why he goes outside.
That's why I teach him not to chew on things.
I can't help with that cats are just too stupid.
So you...
How is this?
I just do this for the people who...
actually get the email the first in line.
John Bull right now, he's a guy that goes through all the email.
And he's every time I started in on cats, he's like,
oh, dear God, Glenn, don't.
Please, you're wrecking my whole day.
I'm going to hear nothing but cat stuff.
Yeah, well, it's true.
They're stupid.
And I hate cats.
So you're right, John?
My understanding is that you're actually for declawing just for the torture.
You don't even care about the furniture or anything like that.
You just want to declaw these cats.
cats because you hate them.
Yeah, I'd like to just pick them up all in the wild.
You know, and then set them back out.
I love that because you can say that and people will be legitimately offended by it.
But you can talk about a third trimester abortion and you'll get an entire political party
that will have absolutely no problem about it a minute before birth or maybe after.
That's a standard that perhaps we should reconsider.
It doesn't seem morally consistent.
Well, it is so outrageously radicalized now, Stu, that you can't do an anti-Hitler painting on eBay, an anti-Hitler propaganda poster, and have it actually exist on eBay.
This is the second time they've taken my painting down, my 10-hour meme, where it's an anti-Hitler poster.
Hitler didn't look like that.
That's the way in all of his propaganda,
the Jews were made to be seen.
And it says, as he's reading,
50 million killed,
next time I should just call it Planned Parenthood,
you know, as opposed to the final solution.
That way is if I really want to dumb it down for people at eBay
and Twitter and Facebook.
It's that way he could get away with it, you see.
So that's pro-Hitler propaganda is basically what you're saying there?
That's pro-Nazi propaganda.
No, it's anti.
And we got a letter in from eBay, and they said that we realize there's historical significance of World War II.
And there's many military collectors around the world.
And some World War II related historical items are allowed, but this one isn't.
This is not about World War II.
This is about the World War that we're in right now to save freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of life.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.

No, ma'am, uh, look, we're watching him on the video camera.

Welcome to the program. It's Glenn Beck.
Stu Bergier is back from a couple of days off and Mr. Pat Gray
joins us. Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn.
Stu. Welcome
back. Mr. Gray.
Hey, this is kind of cool because after complaining about
some of the incomprehensible decisions by the Radio
Hall of Fame, like last year,
for instance, just I'll give you an example.
The fabulous sports babe was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last year.
Now, good for her.
Yeah, that's great.
And there's nothing wrong with the fabulous sports base.
She's played a big role in this industry.
She's played a huge.
Well, yes, yes.
But other people have, too.
For sports.
You know, I mean, here's the thing about Glenn Beck, for instance.
You're not fabulous.
You don't know anything about sports.
And you're certainly not a babe.
but now
transitioning
but now
you have indeed been
nominated
for the rock and roll
for the radio hall of fame
congratulations
hall of fame
congratulations
that's big deal
yeah yeah thank you very much
you wouldn't have been anywhere near here
without Pat or myself
exactly
I'm only hoping
I'm only hoping that I win
seriously
because Don Imus is still alive
and I want him to induct me
wouldn't that be cool is he really still alive not wow strangely still allowed that's incredible not
literally you mean his legend is still no no he is actually breathing no yes he sent me and
and now try not to imagine this okay but he sent me a picture of uh the family on a beach in
Mexico. And all I could think of was, no, was Don without a shirt in Mexico.
No, honey. And I thought maybe this is why everyone's fleeing for our border.
You may be onto something there. You might be. Yeah. Yeah. So you've been, you've been in,
you've been nominated in the category of active network syndication 10 years or more. And I think, I think the audience votes on this.
So no, they don't.
No, they don't.
Really?
No.
You sure?
No, they have a special category every year that they select a few people and they can vote.
Okay.
This one is going to the academy.
This is going to like 900 people.
Okay, that hurts.
That hurts your chances.
Because everyone in the industry hates you.
So, yeah, the nasty hatred might get in the way.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I do get that impression.
I don't know why.
I don't know. I really don't know why.
And we all do.
The rest of us do.
We understand fully.
Why?
Why?
I don't know what I've done.
The ongoing way you've acted over a very long period of time.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, no, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
That, that, I agree with that, you know, 25 years ago.
I don't agree with that today.
Hmm.
That's interesting.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, that's interesting.
You know what?
That point brings interest.
from us.
Also nominated in your category.
So hang on just a second.
It's not like, I mean, I don't go to all the cool kid parties.
Yeah.
So I don't, I don't, I don't, I'm busy.
It makes it sound like you're invited and shows not to go.
That's not the way I would phrase it.
I mean, that's, this is really, you know.
You don't know about all the cool kid parties.
to so, because they're not talking to you about them.
Exactly.
And I understand that nobody's ever in my entire life talked to me about cool kid parties.
I was seven and nobody wanted to invite me to the cool kid parties.
Well, any parties.
Even the non-cool kid parties, I wasn't invited to.
Yeah, the nerd kid parties you stayed home for.
So we agree, Glenn, is what you're saying, that no one likes him.
So we agree.
You're not going into the Radio Hall of Fame.
No, but the fact that it's all right.
Yes.
I will bet if I were a betting man, I would bet not a chance.
This is the first nomination, though, right?
So at least you've gotten that.
You can say that now.
It is my first nomination.
Once nominated for Radio Hall of Fame.
It's kind of cool.
Who else is nominated?
Let's see.
George Noree from coast to coast to him.
Sure.
I think he's going to win.
He will.
John Tesh for intelligence for your life.
John Tesh is a really good guy.
That would be.
He's a good guy.
He's a really good guy.
Okay.
And people like him.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If we're voting on people we like, doesn't that kind of violate the whole idea of the Radio Hall of Fame?
I mean, it's not like, you know, the thing in the Radio Hall of Fame is going to say, and everybody really liked him.
Well, like people hated Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, right?
Yeah.
But their talent overwhelmed that.
dislike to get them into the baseball hall name. Let's not go any further on this. Let's see if you
Let's not go any further on this. And the last nomination in your category is Kim Commando from the
Oh yeah. You know, the Kim Kim Mando show. The computer. Yeah. Yeah. So there you go.
So there you go. Never listen to Kim Commando. I know, I just know that she's been on forever.
Yeah. Yeah. She's a big computer help show. Now, because of this other nomination that finally
happened, I feel better about your
nomination finally taking place. Mark and
Brian were finally nominated. Mark and
Brian should have been nominated a long time ago.
And Jack Harris. Yes.
Jack Harris. Yeah, Jack Harris. That's great.
Not awesome? See, you know what the thing about
Jack Harris is everyone loves Jack Harris.
Right? Everybody.
Yes. He's awesome. Everybody loves the guy. Always goes
to the cool kid parties. Yes, always.
He's the coolest kid in town. There's no question
about it. He has been forever.
And then there's you.
There's a different story to be told about that,
particular nomination. So if
George Norrie suddenly mysteriously wound up, you know, like washing on the shore
from some sort of boating accident or something, would he still be able to be inducted in
the Hall of Fame? Well, yes, but it would be a different category, though, right? Because
it wouldn't be an active personality. It would be long-standing network syndication, I think.
I wouldn't go boating anywhere, George Norrie.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying.
I don't think it's exclusionary.
I think it could actually both go in, you know, if you're both liked enough.
Yeah.
But of course, that's not the case.
But it is possible.
It is possible to happen.
Okay, so here is my guess.
My guess is George Norrie.
Yeah.
And I'm not being humble here.
George Norrie.
John Tesh.
No.
No, you don't think so?
Kim, Kim, Kim.
No, Kim Commando.
Then, John Tesh.
Okay.
Then me.
Then me.
His John Tesh is known for many other things, really, I would say, over the radio thing.
Although he's done that very successfully, too.
And then there's you.
You know?
You know.
Laugh it up.
Then there's Glenn.
Yeah.
So, laugh it up.
Yeah.
Clown.
So if you happen to be one of those 900 people.
Mm-hmm.
Vote John.
Don Imus is still alive.
wouldn't you want to see Don Imus do one last hair-raisingly mean speech?
And directed at you?
That might sway them actually.
Directed at me.
Wouldn't that be worth it?
Has he been worth it?
Has he agreed to do this?
I mean, like, I understand that he would like to say a lot of mean things about you.
There's, that's a question you don't necessarily ask.
Because he doesn't really like.
you either.
So I don't know that he would lower himself to show up.
Yeah.
So you're just not in a good position.
I think John might do it.
He would probably do it on video.
Or, you know, etch a message in rocks or something the audience could throw at me.
I'm not sure.
I do not think he has the strength to etch at this point.
That's not something Don's capable of now.
Yeah.
Well, but, you know, the thing about Don Amme's,
Don Imus is there's a possibility that somebody is just acting as Don Imus and writing to me.
Because he's gotten very nice.
Oh, that's definitely not Don.
I know.
That's not him.
He's like nice and complimentary.
And once in a while I'll get, once in a while I'll get just a note that just says, you're still fat?
Obviously, he hasn't turned on his set in a while
to know the answer to that question.
It's hard to turn on your set when you're under six feet of dirt.
It's difficult to watch television.
I don't think I want to get done on Don's bad sight.
No, I know.
Right.
But it is good, Pat, to just reveal your age by using the word set.
When redressing TV.
I'm going to warm up the set.
Be careful who you're calling old.
All right.
Thanks so much, Pat.
I appreciate it.
No, no.
You listen to Pat.
Thank you.
No.
And I meant that sincerely.
I really appreciate.
Yeah.
You listen to Pat Gray on some station or some podcast or something I don't know where.
Check your set for.
else.
All right.
Our sponsor, this half hour is
Blinds.com.
Blinds.com is a great company
that has been in business
since, believe it or not,
the 1990s online.
Now, imagine,
remember when you had dial up
and it took you forever?
I remember the first time
I tried to download a picture
and no, it wasn't porn.
And it was the first picture
that I tried to download.
And I remember I started
and I sat there
for a while, maybe 10 minutes, just looking at it, coming in line by line.
And I think it was just green.
It may have just been green and white at the time.
And I said, well, I'm going to, let's check this after dinner, see how far it's gotten.
And that was a miracle at the time.
Not really anymore, but what is a miracle is when when I was doing that, Blinds.com was
starting their online business.
Who was ordering blinds back then when you couldn't see them?
They had to be really good at service because it took a long time.
And so they had to make sure that they were really good at service.
They sent you everything in advance, let you look at the colors, let you look at, you know,
the actual blind so they could send you the free sample.
They still do all of this, by the way.
And they've made it super easy.
So that's why blinds.com is now the number one online retailer for blind shade, shutters, drapes, anything for your window coverings.
They're the number one online retailer in the world.
It's blinds.com.
Use the promo code Beck right now, and you're going to save a buttload of money, plus an additional $20 off if you use the promo code back.
They have huge site-wide savings right now.
use the promo code back
and additional $20 will come off your bill.
It's blinds.com.
Blinds.com promo code Beck.
You know, Americans and particular Democrats need to wake up to the fact that you are,
you're seeing the destruction of the Democratic Party
and you're watching it in real time.
And you can deny it all you want.
but all you have to do is look for the evidence.
You know, Jim McAosta said, you know, you conservatives have to remember that you're not always going to be in power.
Yeah, I know.
That's what I told you guys under the Obama administration.
But even when we have power, it doesn't seem like we have power because all the power is shifting to radicals and Silicon Valley.
It's not even in Washington anymore.
So the radicals.
Let me give you evidence.
Ocasio-Cortez is being talked about as running against Chuck Schumer.
Now, that's the height of arrogance.
And, you know, I hope it happens.
Now, how happy do you think Chuck Schumer is about that news?
Here he is the leader of the Senate, a liberal lion.
and somebody from his own state is trying to take him out, Ocasio-Cortez.
They are eating the Democratic Party.
And it's only going to get worse from here.
And so when we say freedom of speech, freedom of expression, don't start banning people.
Don't do it.
I say that for the left just as much for the right.
And I will tell you, I listen to Stephen Crowder yesterday,
and he was talking about how he's getting a lot of response on YouTube
from people who don't agree with him.
And they're saying, hey, I'm in with you.
This is craziness what's happening.
And I'll give you the details coming up in a second.
But I want you to know that there are several things that,
I'd like to ask you to do.
One of which is sign up for the blaze.
We have had, we've never had a special like this before.
And it's because we are really pretty desperate to make sure that we can get a hold of you.
We need to be able right now where the algorithms are changing.
So our way of communicating to you is being severely.
hampered. So we need to be able to have a way to contact you. So one of the ways is by
subscribing to the Blaze. And when you do that, you help us build a network of voices that will
stand until the very last moment. What I want you to do is go to blazTV.com slash Glenn. You're going to
save $30 off of your subscription for the year.
So it's going to cost you 70 when it normally costs, you know, 100 or 99.
It's going to cost you 69.
And I urge you to do that.
Now, there's a couple of other things that you can do.
And I really would ask that you would help us on this.
iTunes so far has been pretty good.
We're not putting all of our eggs in that basket.
That's why we lead with a subscription.
But we need you to subscribe. It's free. Go to iTunes. Look for the Glenbeck podcast. Subscribe,
rate, and review. The other thing is go to glenbeck.com and subscribe to our newsletter.
It again is free. Subscribe to the Blaze newsletter. Again, it is free. Even if you don't read it,
it gives us your address and we'll be able to, in times of an emergency, times when we really
need you to back us up, be able to contact you directly.
Please do at least some of those things, the ones that are free, but I highly urge you to join
the blazedTV.com and preserve freedom of speech.
So there's a couple of things that we want to go over, and it mainly revolves around the wording
of things. For instance, how does America really feel about abortion?
Stu and I have had a big problem with the way these abortion polls are taken because they're worded in such a way that people understand, the ones who are writing them.
It will come out more in their favor.
So if you change the wording, how do the polls look for abortion?
We go there in one minute.
This is the Glimbeck program.
So I've been thinking about next summer that we need to do another big restoring vent.
And it's kind of been breathing down my back.
And I finally kind of all came together in my head recently.
And we'll be talking about it as we get closer and we start to confirm some of the things that I want to do.
but make sure you have an open space to spend a few days with us next summer.
Now, one of the things we're going to do is we're going to really teach the kinds of things
that we're going to be restoring next summer.
We're going to teach that on this cruise.
So we're going on this cruise next spring, and I know not everybody can go, but if you have
vacation time and you have the ability to swing it for this cruise. It's all inclusive,
including the airfare, the hotels, everything is paid for. And that's unusual. That's
not a trip to Disney World. But Bill O'Reilly is going to be there. Stu's going to be there.
David Barton will be there. Rabbi Lapin will be there. We'll be at sea with you. And we're
going to go to Venice, which is the place that really funded.
the Renaissance. A lot of the rebels lived in the rich rebels lived in Venice. We're going to go to
Athens, which is the birthplace of democracy and a republic. What's the difference? How did it
work out? What did the founders think about when they debated and talked about Greece? And then to
the Holy Land. We're going to Israel. And that's the foundation of our faith.
So you're going to come back with a real understanding of the principles that built our country.
Share it with your whole family, if you can.
It's going to be an amazing cruise.
Tickets are going really well and very fast.
There will be about 3,000 people who think just like you on this cruise through history.
Just go to come sailaway.com.
Learn more.
Find out all of the details.
It's come sailaway.com.
You know, the part of the plan with the left, I think, is to make you feel small and insignificant,
that it's that there's nothing you can do about it, that it's over.
And it's a very small number of people.
And the way they do it is they manipulate language.
We know this through political correctness.
They can manipulate language to get you to go,
well, yeah, I guess that's where I'm at, but it's maybe not exactly where you're at.
And it doesn't give a fair look at what people are actually feeling.
Stu's got some numbers.
He's looking at the abortion numbers and how Americans really feel about it with the traditional
wording and with new language in the questions.
Yeah, I'm fascinated by this.
The big headline was 77% say the Supreme Court should uphold Rovers
weight, which is amazing, considering that doesn't seem to be the split of Americans overall.
There's a pro-choice, pro-life spit that's a split that's been pretty stable at about, you know, 50-50.
For example, in February, they did a poll, are you pro-choice or you pro-life?
It was 47 to 47.
Now, because it's turned into a bigger issue lately that those polls have moved a little bit,
and this poll asked that same question, are you pro-choice or your pro-life?
and it was 35% said pro-life.
57% said pro-choice.
So just to set the kind of baseline of this poll,
this is a group of people who were polled here
that would be to the left of what is considered normal in our debate.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, can I ask,
the left is looking at this debate.
They're not putting any stock into
you know, what the Democrats are saying.
All they're doing is they're looking at what the Republicans are doing,
which is, you know, quashing abortion in state after state after state.
And so it's being billed as, look, we were fine with safe, legal, and rare.
But boy, this Trump administration, all these Republicans,
they just want to take away every single right on this.
Right.
So is it possible that they're not as far.
left, they just are buying into the
Kool-Aid and drinking the Kool-Aid. I think that is entirely it.
I mean, you see the polling very consistent over a long period of time of it being pretty
split between people who consider themselves pro-life or pro-choice, depending on,
I mean, it's always pretty close to 50-50.
35-57 is a really bad poll for pro-lifers.
And that's kind of where, the reason why that's important is because they answer the
other questions. Remember, these are the same people answering the questions.
the people who say they're only 35% pro-life
are answering all these other questions.
So this is not a conservative-leaning poll.
I think that's important to set.
So the first thing you realize by going through these numbers
is there is no reason to ever ask another group of people in a poll
whether they think Roe versus Wade should be overturned
because none of them know what it says.
It's just, do you think unicorns should be able to hold jobs as accountants?
Like the same value in that question because really?
By the way, I'm against that. They have hooves, not fingers. How do they enter anything in a spread sheet?
Well, I mean, obviously, we have voiced dictation services. We can get into that debate a little bit longer, you know, at another time at the show. You don't know if unicorns can talk. You've never talked to one.
All right. You're right. You're right. You're right. But like, you know, Roe versus Wade basically says you can have an abortion in the first trimester. In the second trimester, you start getting into certain restrictions. In the third trimester, a state can pass any restrictions at one space.
basically. So, you know, it's basically a first term of right to an abortion, if you want to put it that way.
There's a lot more detail to it than that. But generally speaking, there's also an argument about viability in there.
But generally speaking, that's what it says. You know, once it's a viable child, you can't, absolutely states can restrict it.
They can say it's completely illegal in the third trimester. And in the first trimester, they really can't say it's completely illegal.
That's kind of what a, and that's why it's controversial. And that's why these.
laws that are being passed to restrict it more than the first trimester are going to go to the
Supreme Court in theory and that's going to be the big challenge. That's why these things are going on.
So with that being said, what do people actually think about abortion? Nine percent of people
think it should never be legal. Nine percent, okay, under any circumstance whatsoever. Another nine percent
say it should be life of the mother only, the only exception. So now you're at 18 percent, say life
or more restrictive.
29% of people say
it should only be allowed
in the instance of rape, incest,
and life of the mother.
Okay? So now you're at...
That's how many?
29%.
So you're at 47% of people
who say
basically rape and incest
and life and that's it.
Or more restricted than that.
Okay.
So that's, again, if only 35% of these people
consider themselves to be pro-choice,
or excuse me, pro-life, only 40, 35% say that, but 47% are at the point where, let's say, George W. Bush's position was rape, incess life of the mother. Right. So, like, I mean, that's a pretty standard way of identifying a pro-life. Exactly.
My church is there. That's where my church is. Right. And they would consider themselves pro-life. And this is why this Roe versus Wade and pro-choice pro-life thing doesn't make any sense.
For example, about a quarter of people who consider themselves to be pro-choice agree with the Mormon church's policy on abortion.
Think about that for a second.
These terms are completely misused in our society.
People who say, you know what?
Yeah, rape, incest and life of the mother.
A position absolutely associated with pro-lifers, not pro-choicers.
About a quarter of people who identify themselves as pro-choice think that should be the law.
Like that is
It's completely misused
Then there's another 23%
Who say it should be in the first trimester only
And that's essentially the Roe versus Wade standard
So people a lot of times will say
Well, Roe versus Wade
That means you're essentially the Democratic Party
Well, it's not at all right?
I mean you have now 20 you have 20 let's see
32 41 61 71 71 71% of people
Basically saying you know
Roe versus Wade
is the way to go, which at this point is a massive move to the right.
People don't realize that.
They say they want to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Well, overturning Roe versus Wade is, of course, something that I advocate for as a pro-lifer.
However, going back to Roe versus Wade would also be something you can advocate for as a pro-lifer,
because that is a move to the right from where we are in a massive one.
Another 11% saying the first two trimesters.
And then at the very end, you have what is essentially now the,
mainstream Democratic position,
which is you can have it any time you want, right?
It's up to the mother.
It's a choice argument, a pure pro-choice argument.
And that is 18% of the population.
So think of the way these things are tossed at you in the media.
It doesn't seem at all like only 18% of people believe the mainstream Democratic Party view.
It seems like something completely...
I don't believe it is 18%.
You think it's lower than that?
higher. Lower.
Come on.
18% of Americans,
20% of Americans
believe we should be able to kill
a baby five minutes from birth.
I mean, that's really the only
you can argue this, but I think
it's the most consistent
position, right? Like if you're
a, if you're a life, if you're saying pro
choice, you are saying the mother
has a right to choose
essentially when that becomes a
being. Which is a completely
ridiculous standard, obviously, because then we can give the mother the right to choose that when the kid is seven, too.
It doesn't make any sense.
If you're about choice, why are you restricting it to birth?
The woman that I just said was in Atlanta that they're searching for.
The mother who had a baby, wrapped it in a garbage bag, and then took it out into the woods.
It was just a few hours old when they found the baby.
She might have done it right after birth.
Why are we searching for her?
say, oh, good for you.
Celebrate your choice.
Yeah, it's a very, very...
Because what's the difference?
Yeah, very similar to what Governor Northam said,
which was basically the mother and the doctor should be able to choose whether they want
to give life-saving treatment to the baby.
So why bother?
If the mother obviously chose that you did not want the baby to receive life-saving
treatment, so why give it to her?
So let me give you some of these, a couple of other things here in this, because this is,
I mean, it's really fascinating.
specifics.
Pro-life or pro-choice,
you need to have an ultrasound
before you have an abortion.
Would you consider that to be a pro-life
or pro-choice view?
I would say that is a pro-life.
Pro-life view, right?
That is, that policy,
forcing women to look at an ultrasound
before getting an abortion,
52% to 43%
a popular policy.
In fact, a third of pro-choicers
believe that that should be the law.
How about a 24-hour waiting period?
Again, it's a pro-life law, right?
65% say that should be the law.
In fact, includes 41% of people who consider themselves pro-choice.
How about a law that requires doctors to have hospital admitting privileges?
This is seen as one of the most restrictive pro-life laws available.
However, 64% of people support it, at least as worded in this poll.
And this is one of the things we were talking about earlier, Glenn, about how they word these polls.
the poll basically says should doctors be forced or required to have hospital admitting privileges.
This is a law that pro-lifers show because in Roe versus Wade, there's talk about health restrictions in the second trimester in particular.
So that's obviously a pro-life rule.
You want to make the doctors have more medical responsibilities.
However, 68% of pro-choice voters think that should be the law and only 59% of the law.
and only 59% of pro-life voters.
So it's more supportive.
People don't even know what they're talking about at this point.
This is why it's really impossible to have any kind of real discussion with people
because you'll bring a fact up and they'll say, well, I don't know about that.
I'm just against it because.
Right.
And so you can't really have, yeah, it's teams.
You can't really truly have any intellectual discussions with people because we're being discouraged by it.
I want to go back into the language here in just a second.
We'll finish up this poll and go back into the language of another poll that we went into yesterday because I changed the language and I wanted to see if there was any difference.
And Stu will give us a result of that coming up in one minute.
You know what I want for Father's Day?

So to do a quick wrap up of this, Glenn,
because if you look at the poll in its entirety,
what you see is people do want abortion
to be available in some circumstance.
but circumstances that are more restricted than they are now.
That's the take away.
So in other words, safe, legal, and rare.
And rare being the one thing that's, I would say, I mean, everyone wants it, you know, God
forbid something that's going on how, I don't know how abortion is safe,
considering you're intentionally killing one of the things involved in it.
But still, yes, they want it to be safe, legal, and very rare and rare, very rare.
I mean, many people think it should be almost never available, but still consider themselves
to be pro-choice, which is bizarre.
And what this shows is, of course,
that the messaging factor is going the left's way
with a massive assist from the media.
So let me look at it this way here, Glenn.
If you look at the two positions
that are being talked about a lot,
the extreme positions that are debated,
quote-unquote, extreme sort of positions,
you have the left saying it's available all the way to birth.
Okay?
It's a woman's right to choose.
You can't restrict that woman's right to choose.
We have 24 candidates in this race.
Every single one of them has advocated for some vision of that,
where women would be able to choose the entire time.
For right now, what's going on with Republican lawmakers is they're trying to do heartbeat laws, right?
Those are the two main positions being talked about at the extremes.
Well, right now, if you look at in the poll, it asks all of these questions.
It says, what do you think?
Should abortion be available all the way to birth?
and they say 16% of people say yes to that.
So the mainstream 24 candidates, universal agreement on the Democratic side,
only 16% of Americans actually support that position.
Now, on the Republican side, it's a heartbeat law.
Abortion should only be available until a heartbeat begins about six or eight weeks into the pregnancy, right?
46% of people believe that should be the law.
So it's 46 to 16.
Yet one side is presented as if essentially it's Adolf Hitler making the policy.
The most hateful thing you've ever heard in your entire life.
Only six weeks women might not even know they're pregnant yet.
Well, half the country believes that should be the law.
Only 16% believe that what the entire democratic field believes
that yes, it should be available all the way to.
birth because at the fundamental level, the mommy gets to make the choice.
That is not the way it's presented at all, and it's why I think you see so many people who
think that they are pro-choice.
I mean, you know, that is just, like, none of their underlying positions identify a pro-choice
viewpoint as it's currently constructed in our political system.
But they still believe it.
Because the media has made pro-choice into.
extreme positions. And so they think that anything reasonable has to be pro-choice.
Yeah. Because pro-life is unreasonable. Yeah, pro-life or pro-choice means good. And anything
unreasonable has got to come from the other side. So this is reasonable. Rape, incest, blah, blah, blah.
It's got, it can't be the people on the, you know, on the right, because they're unreasonable.
reasonable. And I see this all the time when, you know, we talk to people all the time that are involved in these debates every day. We have people on the news and why it matters all the time that kind of cycle in as panelists. And there's people who are talking about these issues every day of their life. Almost universally, when I bring up the point that European laws are more restrictive on abortion than the U.S. laws, they're always shocked by that point. Always. You know, here's progressive Europe that's supposed to be so enlightened. And they have more restrictive.
laws on abortion than we do.
People don't even know these things because
the media is doing what you just
said, saying pro-life is bad and pro-choice
is good, period. Right.
And Americans are Puritans.
And so,
why not believe that if the media says
it so?
This is the Glenback program.
All right. Did you register to win your new gun

Hello, America.
From coast to coast, this is the Glenn Beck program.
Yesterday, Stu, I went through a new poll about conspiracy theories.
And it's rather disturbing, if you look at it, the way it was written and the way it was answered.
But I want to go through it first.
with you. Tell me you agree or disagree. Moon landing was faked. I disagree. I do not think it was
11% right. 11% say that it was. Government is using chem trails or chemicals in order to control
the population. No. 20% of Americans, 19% say that they are. That's a crazy number. Yeah, more
that's a more popular
conspiracy theory than I realized.
Yeah.
Illuminati secretly controlling the world,
21%.
No.
Climate change is a hoax.
Like, this I've said...
Don't think, just respond.
Don't think, just respond.
I mean, I've, you know,
we've done too much on this for me to not
parse it a little bit. I mean, I, you know,
I think climate change is a hoax is essentially
shorthand by many
Republicans and people on the right for saying
a lot of different things. But I mean,
Do I think it's a hoax?
I would say I don't think it's a hoax, no.
I mean, it's not a hoax.
But there's a massive problems with it, and that's how people short-hand to that point.
So far, you and I are in agreement.
Climate change is a hoax.
I kind of waver on because there's parts of it that are parts of it that are not.
The change itself is not, I don't think.
9-11 was an inside job.
Absolutely not.
Okay.
you disagree with 23% of Americans.
The government is hiding aliens in Area 51.
No.
Okay.
Me neither.
There is a deep state working against the U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters.
Don't think.
I mean, as a conspiracy theory, no, I don't think that that's it.
You know, there's another one I'd love to parse for another five minutes here.
But I.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
last one, Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in assassinating JFK.
So it's a double negative here.
So I'm saying he did act alone.
So, yeah.
No, he did not act alone in assassinating.
Right.
So I'm saying no, he did not act alone.
Okay, I think I follow.
Okay.
So you and I are in complete agreement.
Yesterday I answered these questions, but I just took in a lot of the assumptions
and said, okay, well, I don't think he acted.
I mean, I think he acted alone.
You know, that's what I believe.
However, I wouldn't be surprised to find out.
So I went online and we did a survey and you can still take this at glenbeck.com.
And I'd love to see it.
Now, 47% of the American people say Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in assassinating JFK.
Let me change the wording.
of this and see if it changes the
percentage.
I believe
Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK
alone. However,
I would not be surprised to find
out that the government sealed evidence
that others were involved.
I would say
I would say yes to that now.
You've converted me from a no to a yes
on that one. Right,
because I don't know
and the government has such a
bad reputation of
hiding things that I don't know.
Right.
But I'm going to, I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but I want to leave the door open.
Yeah.
I think, right.
Like, I don't think it's a conspiracy theory to think that additional evidence could be provided
that changes your mind.
This is how you're supposed to operate in every, in every circumstance.
Okay.
If by deep state, the second one, well, give me the percentages of how it turned out.
So originally Harvey Oswald.
Originally it was 47% say they believed in that conspiracy theory.
The way you worded it was 85%.
Okay.
Why?
Because it's not forcing you into a conspiracy theory or denying the fact that there are parts of it that are not covered in this.
And you're like, oh, well, I don't know.
That's not quite right.
But do you know what I mean?
Right.
If by deep state, you mean long time Washington power broker.
who are used to calling the shots
and now feel threatened by Donald Trump
not listening to their advice or counsel,
yes,
I do believe that many people like that
are working against him and his administration.
I mean,
I think that's basically proven, right?
I mean, we know that.
They've bragged about it in op-eds, right?
They've said they didn't put things on his desk.
Like, there's lots of examples of this.
And that one initially...
It went from 29% originally,
To 98% of our audience says yes to that.
And that's what I think is fair.
Like, I mean, like you look at that and you say,
not only have you seen people in the FBI who outwardly were, you know,
trashing Trump and they're not, you know, to each other at least in private texts.
You have people who've written op-eds about it.
You've seen large exposés of these types of behaviors in books and where they're presenting it as positive.
Like Donald Trump's crazy.
So we stepped in to stop him.
Well, that's not how an administration is supposed to operate.
So I, you know, I think, yeah, that's, that's fair.
As long as you're just defining it, you're not defining it as like some group of, you know,
Dr. Evils somewhere, which is how it's presented, you know, I think that that is absolutely,
and we've already seen evidence of this.
So I am not, I don't believe that aliens are in Area 51 or spaceships personally.
I don't believe that.
However, instead of saying the government is hiding aliens in Area 51, 21, 20,000,
27% I think the average person feels more like this.
Whether alien bodies are in area 51 or not,
I do believe the government knows more about UFOs than they have told us.
Right. And we just have seen reporting on this, right?
They've just, we've had people from inside these government offices say, yeah, they say like, yeah, we know that they're real.
We don't know what they are yet.
We don't necessarily know they're from outer space or anything like that, but we do know that these things have occurred many times.
and we've seen video of this recently.
27% said initially to that and 82% of the audience when you worded it that way said, yeah, I'm on that one.
You're just flipping things.
I mean, it's just flipping it upside down.
Okay, the next one is 9-11 was an inside job and 23% of the American people agreed with that.
I do not.
Now, let me word it this way.
I do not believe the U.S. government was involved in 9-11.
But as we do know, NSA advisor, Sandy Berger, was caught destroying documents from the National Archives related to both Bush, Clinton, and the Saudis.
All administrations have been too close to the Saudis, and the Saudis were involved on 9-11 at some level.
Now, what, it's gone from 23% to 80%.
I mean, this one you actually do outwardly say the conspiracy theory isn't true.
You're saying, I do not believe the government was involved in 9-11.
So you're going to capture a lot of people, I think, by, it is a somewhat a different question, I think, at that level.
But the idea that there were people covering their butts because they knew they looked bad and they didn't want certain things to come out.
I mean, I think that's the thing a lot of people believe.
And we seem to find those things out later on all the time.
you know, whatever
conspiracy,
whatever situation is a major story 20 years ago,
you know,
I mean,
look at the Martin Luther King thing for a second.
There is a report that came out from the FBI
that said he was present and laughing at an ongoing rape
and there's supposedly audio tape of it.
And we find that out,
you know,
how many years after we get a U.S. holiday for the guy?
I mean, you know, again,
he's done all,
he did a lot of great things.
There's no question about it.
But I don't know that he gets a U.S. holiday
if he's laughing at a woman being raped,
probably not a Me Too situation there.
Yeah.
Might have been important information to have before we voted on the holiday.
Fair.
All right.
22% say climate change is a hoax.
All right.
I wrote,
I believe the climate is always changing.
It's natural.
I'd be willing to accept that man may play a role in this,
but I do not believe in the,
solutions currently being discussed, nor do I believe the intention of most political
activists are pure.
Yeah.
So it's 22% initially, now 97% of your audience believes that.
97%?
The George or the Illuminati is secretly in control of the world, 21%.
I wrote, any talk of the Illuminati provides the true dangers to man's freedom, like,
very powerful NGOs and men like George Soros, a perfect cover.
Yeah, that goes from 21 to 91%.
Though, again, I think that one has a little bit of a,
it's a little bit of a different point you're making there.
Like that's it.
One is, do I believe in the Illuminati?
The second one is I, the Luminati is just a cover for other bad groups.
Those are sort of two different positions, but it's definitely one that, you know,
you can look at and say, because it's true.
I mean, if you don't believe in the Illuminati and most don't,
You look at that as just a distraction from actual problems.
I don't even know what the Illuminati is for the love of Pete.
I mean, I know the Illuminati existed, you know, what, in the 15, 1600s?
I, come on, come on.
All right.
The government is using chemicals to control the population through chemtrails.
19% agree with that.
That's crazy.
That's higher than I would have expected because that feels like even fringy for conspiracy
theorists. Yeah. Here is the
score on that and here's how I reworded that. The U.S. government has
done horrible experiments on people and our land. I also suspect that they will do more
things like that in the future, but I don't believe in the systematic spring of chemicals
using chemtrails. Initially 19% said they believe in the chemtrails thing,
83% in the way that you worded it.
So you,
okay.
The moon landing was real, but I see a time coming
when people will not be able to trust their eyes due to deep fakes.
I mean, that isn't, I don't know how you disagree with that one.
96% of the audience agreed with that one.
I mean, the only reason you would disagree with that is if you think the moon landing wasn't real, right?
If you think the moon landing wasn't real, you couldn't agree with that statement.
but as 4% of our audience apparently did.
But, you know, it goes from 11 to 96% when you reword it that way.
The wording makes a lot of difference in polls.
What was the strongest, what was the strongest result?
I mean, between deep state, not landing on the moon and climate,
those are the three strongest ones,
where our audience obviously is going to be skeptical of the solutions presented
by the government for climate change,
which they should be.
Also, you know, the idea that deepfakes,
I mean, I don't know there's any audience in America
that's more prepared for what's happening,
what's coming with deepfakes.
We've been talking about it for multiple years
way before it became, you know,
a serious topic talked about in the news.
I remember talking about it seriously
and having, you know,
friends of advisors going,
Glenn, you lose your audience
every time you talk about this stuff.
This just sounds ridiculous.
and I'm like, I know, but it won't soon.
It won't soon.
Right.
And that's, we've seen that.
You know, you see that with our ratings as we see them, you know, initially you
talked about that stuff.
It did not do well, but it now does because, you know, there's much more awareness about it
and people realize you were talking about it before everybody else.
It's always a good indication as to someone who actually has put thought into it.
But, you know, when it comes to the deep state is another big one.
And we did an entire chalkboard series on the deep state and what it actually means.
And it doesn't mean this idea that Dr. Evil is around somewhere trying to stop the Trump administration.
What it means is like it doesn't mean a star.
The media would like to make that into the Star Chamber.
But I don't think it's, I don't think most people look at it as a Star Chamber.
There's no, there's no meetings in dark, darkened rooms with everybody getting together and saying, all right, corporations, are you all in?
Yes, master.
I mean, it's just, it's not that way.
It's just people who like their power that do not want to get rid of their power,
don't want to seat it, and perhaps even think that the president is wrong.
Maybe it's about more than power.
And they decide he's dangerous, he's got to go,
and they'll find like-minded people to work with them to thwart him in any way that they can.
And when we come back after the top of the hour,
or no, we have still time.
When we come back in just a couple of minutes,
I'm going to show you evidence of that.
I think if I can find it in a stack of all my paperwork.
I'll show it to you.
Coming up, just a second.
Sponsor this half hour is Norton Security.
Norton Security is a name that we've all known for a long, long time.
They have been securing our computers.
for forever, ever since I can remember.
It's a name that we can trust.
Now, Facebook, not so much.
Facebook came out with a VPN because they said,
you know, people are following you and people are watching what you're doing.
They know that VPNs are a thing in the future.
So they wanted to get in early and be a trusted name in VPNs, virtual private networks.
Well, people were onto them.
People knew that what they were doing was they were getting the exclusive jump on you.
They'd be the only ones that would have your information that they could use and then also sell.
People didn't like that too much.
That business just went out of business.
Norton Secure is a company that we have grown to trust.
They have said they're not selling the information.
They're not gathering the information.
they are only providing a virtual private network for you.
It's really easy to use.
All you have to do is just download the app, put in the passcode one time,
and it goes to all of your devices, and you're on a virtual private network.
Only from Norton.
Norton SecureVPN.
Protection starts at 333 a month.

That's norton.com slash VPN.
So let me give you this.
the Democrat from Tennessee, Steve Cohen,
talked about impeachment.
And he said, the main reason I'm interested is not so much to win the Senate,
which is a byproduct.
It's because I think he's committed impeachable offenses,
and he needs the scarlet eye on his chest.
The only reason why they're doing this is to discredit him for his next term,
just like they discredited him on the first term before he even got into office.
That's what this is all about.
That's Deep State.
This is the Glymbeck program.
The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
Well, YouTube has apologized to the gay and lesbian community for the hate mongering of Stephen Crowder.
So they have apologized and they said they're sorry.
And Stephen Crowder came out yesterday and said the exact opposite.
I'll show you what's coming in one minute.
This is the Glimbeck program.
All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
Our sponsor is Relief Factor.
If you're in pain, there's a three-week quick start.
I drove across the country this weekend, and altitude greatly affects me.
I have a hard time flying in a plane.
It causes an awful lot of pain.
Don't ask why.
Oh, my gosh.
Can you hear this?
Listen to that.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, did you hear that?
That's that cow.
We have this cow.
I'm up at the ranch.
We have this cow that I thought was sick.
It's a bull.
We have three bowls.
There he is, listen.
And I was like,
something is wrong with our bull.
Now, you know, I'm a city rancher.
Okay.
When I say rancher, I mean,
I own the dump and somebody else does all the work, okay?
So I come up.
We move the,
yeah, the American way.
So,
uh,
I'm,
reading jobs. So I called the rancher and I said, something's wrong with our bull. And he said,
what? And I said, I've never heard a cow sound like this. He said, does he sound like a donkey?
And I said, yes. And he said, yeah, he just wants some. He just wants some. And this,
yeah, you know what I mean? He wants a, he wants a slice of some cow pie. And that well, that doesn't
sound right. So this is essentially, he's looking for some romance. It's the equivalent of a honk if
your horny bumper sticker.
Like he's actually honking.
Yes.
That's exactly right.
And so this one, we have three balls.
The other two are fine.
This guy is like, want some all the time.
He must be a teenager because he's like midnight, 2 a.m.,
seven in the morning, noon.
It doesn't matter.
He's always going for it.
And I just say, God bless you.
But none of the ladies seem to be interested.
they're all just like, no, not interested.
Kind of feel bad for them in some ways.
Anyway, relief factor.
So I was traveling and altitude bothers me and I'm up way up of the mountains.
It snowed up here on Saturday.
And that cow does not want a slice of me.
Anyway, this is impossible to do.
I think we have to close the windows.
Anyway, anyway, relief factor has helped me,
through my pain up here in
the high altitudes and it can help
you. It's created by doctors. It's 100%
drug free. The three-week
quick start is 1995.
It's a dollar a day.
It's like a trial pack.
70% of the people who try the
three-week quick start.
Look at that guy.
He is just like, come over here.
I want some. Three-week
quick start, 70% go on
to order more. Try it now. It's
Relieffactor.com. I might give it
that bowl. Relieffactor.com.
It's got to be painful.
It's only talk show host that's dumb enough to let cows be heard on the radio.
That's you.
Welcome to it.
That's our new slogan.
The cow goes,
ah!
Calm down, dude.
All right.
All right.
So let me just go through a couple of things.
First of all, yesterday, do we have the audio of the YouTube CEO that is apologizing for what is going on and apologizing to the gay community?
None of us want harmful content on our platforms.
I think last quarter alone, we removed 9 million videos from the platform.
More recently, we have introduced, you know, just like today, we do this in search.
We, you know, we had ranked content based on quality.
And so we're bringing that same notion and approach to YouTube
so that we can rank higher quality stuff better
and really prevent borderline content,
content which doesn't exactly violate policies
which need to be removed,
but which can still cause harm.
And so we are working hard.
It's a hard computer science problem.
It's also a hard societal problem
because we need better frameworks around
what is hate speech, what's not,
and how do we as a company make those decisions at scale
and get it right without making mistakes.
So basically do the impossible,
but do it surrounded by really radical liberal progressives
and democratic socialist.
I'm sure you're going to get that,
I'm sure you're going to get that delicate balance right.
And that delicate balance is to go ahead
and make sure that you get the borderline content.
So not the content that is violated anything,
but the content that just doesn't feel right.
Oh, that sounds like it's going to be easy for you.
Stephen Crowder said,
I'm not sorry about what I did.
Here's Stephen Crowder.
I'm not.
I'm not sorry.
I'll tell you what I am, though.
I am grateful.
I am really grateful to the outpouring of support that we've seen from people.
Let me sort of explain this.
a little bit. You know, we offered the promo code, free speech for $30 off for everybody who joined
Mug Club through the weekend with a student, veteran, the active military discounts, so that everyone
could get it. More people joined up, joined Mug Club than in the company's history. And I'm so
grateful. But something interesting happened. Over half of you who joined didn't use the promo code.
And I've received so many messages, emails from people saying, we wanted to pay full precious
because we want to support what it is that the team is doing. And I really, I appreciate it.
I do want to clarify, though, the promo code is there to be used.
So if you have a hard time affording the $99 a year, if that's a stretch, please take advantage.
I'm actually going to extend the promo code all the way through Tuesday night, free speech.
You still get the full $30 off.
But I didn't want to go without thanking you guys.
And I have some other people that I would like to thank.
And something I'd like to clarify with you guys.
By the way, the reason I'm taping this on my phone is because I'm about to hop on a plane,
taping a thematically appropriate change my mind, given the current circumstance.
If I are an O-Tor, that would be foreshadowing.
And for people who just joined Mug Club tonight, there's still as we pre-taped a full one-hour
life advice segment.
So that is going up right now.
But I wanted to thank everyone on YouTube specifically, not just Mug Club members.
And not just people at Daily Wire, you know, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Claib and Michael Noles,
all of them, thank you so much.
And of course everyone at the Blaze like Mark Levine and Glenn Beck and roaming millennial.
But people over here at YouTube who really aren't necessarily, I have to switch arms.
Gosh, I need to work on my shoulder endurance.
This is embarrassing.
People who aren't even necessarily political, people who wouldn't agree with our politics,
but covered this anyway because you understand the context,
understand the issue that all of us are facing.
People like not only Tim Poole and Joe Rogan, but people like Kingstar and Philip DeFranco,
anyone who have forgotten, I really do appreciate it.
So he makes a really good point that more people are coming out than just conservatives.
People are starting to be really concerned.
For instance, the news industry has now joined calls for increased scrutiny of big tech.
Struggling news industry is joining calls to increase oversight of tech giants like Facebook and Google,
urging policymakers to also take into account how Silicon Valley has upended,
its business of journalism.
The antitrust investigation into tech giants will hold a hearing on Tuesday to hear from
industry leaders and advocates who believe that Silicon Valley is responsible for the decline in
local newspapers and has threatened the business models relied on by many outlets.
Now, I don't agree with this reason.
I mean, that is honestly like the carriage companies saying, I don't like these car companies.
they're getting too big.
They're putting us out of business.
Well, yeah, because I thought you were progressive, progress.
I thought you were for that.
I don't want a newspaper.
I want to be able to just grab it online.
Now, yes, it upends your business practices,
but I go back to, if anybody remembers, you're my age,
you'll remember if you bought any GM car.
It said on the door plate,
as you would step out, it had a little picture of an of an old carriage and it said the Fisher
Carriage Company.
That's what GM was before it became General Motors.
It was the Fisher Carriage Company.
And they were making carriages and they decided, you know, we either got to, we either got to join
them or they're going to crush us.
And so they stopped making horse drawn carriages and started making cars.
That's, that's what companies should do.
When you start to see the progress, you get out of the way and you join them in the next century, or you're going to go out of business.
So the industry is calling for more scrutiny, and they're asking the Democrats to help them.
That is always the last sign before an industry goes out of business.
They ask for government protection so they don't go out of business.
It doesn't work.
It retards progress.
Did he say the word retard?
Oh my gosh, that is awful.
He is so politically incorrect.
Yes, I know, I know.
And I might use it again in the same context later.
So what is YouTube saying that they're going to do?
Well, yesterday, I did about an hour on this New York Times story making of a YouTube radical algorithms in the alt-right.
And on the alt-right, believe it or not, was, was,
Dave Rubin and Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.
That's the alt-right to the New York Times.
So they show that they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
And they say towards the end that YouTube has played a role in steering a lot of people
towards the far-right fringes.
And it suggests that in time, YouTube is, listen to this, capable of steering them
in a very different direction.
Now hang on just as a thing.
What?
You're going to steer people?
This is Cass Sunstein's nudge.
This is Bernays and original propaganda.
This is moving people.
This is everything you should worry about in a Big Brother situation.
That Big Brother watches you knows everything.
about you and Big Brother will eventually shoot you if it has no other choice, but Big Brother will
nudge you, will push you into the direction it wants. Well, I got news for you. YouTube is not
some charity. It's not run by Mother Teresa. They want views. They want to control all of the views.
And so they'll do what's best for them. So what are they doing? They said,
In response, YouTube executives announced that the recommendation algorithm would give more weight to watch time rather than views.
That way, the creators would be encouraged to make videos that users would finish.
And users would be more satisfied.
YouTube would be able to show them more ads.
The bet paid off.
Within weeks of the algorithm change, the company reported overall watch time was growing, even as the number of views show.
rank, according to the 2017 report. So it grew by more than 50% a year for three consecutive years.
A month after its algorithm tweak, YouTube changed its rules to allow all video creators
to run ads with their videos and earn a portion of the revenue. Previously, only popular channels
that had been vetted by YouTube were able to run ads. Neither change was intended to benefit the far
right, no kidding. And YouTube's algorithm had no inherent preference for extreme political content.
Remember, extreme is Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin. It treated a white nationalist monologue, no different from
an Ariana Grande cover or cake icing tutorial. But at the far right, they were well positioned to capitalize
on the changes. Many right-wing creators also made long video.
essays or posted video versions of their podcast. Their inflammatory messages were now more engaging
than the milder fare, and they could earn more money from their videos, and they had a financial
incentive to churn out as much material as possible. A few progressive YouTube channels
flourished from 2012 to 2016, but they were dwarfed by the creators on the right, who had
developed an intuitive feel of the way YouTube's platform worked and were better able to
to tap in the emerging wave of right-wing populism.
This is YouTube looking at this in saying, we're going to punish those who are good business
people.
We're going to punish people who America wants to watch because we're not, we're not about ratings.
No, we're above that.
We're about messages.
Now they're going a step further.
and they are changing the algorithm to steer you away from messages like mine or Ben's or
Jordan Peterson's or Stephen Crowder's.
Watch carefully because you're being manipulated right now.
All right.
We break for 60 seconds.
Let me tell you about our sponsor.
It's American Financing.
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 1823334.
or www. nmls consumer access.org.
All right, so the Fed has signaled that they may drop interest rates again at their meeting later this month.
They're talking about possibly going to zero.
That's going to make the stock market just shoot through the sky.
It's going to pretty much set us up for yet another 1929 disaster.
When money is cheap, people will use that money to take risk.
risks, and they will. And it will work for a while. We may have a melt-up. That's what I've been
predicting for a couple of years is not a melt-down, but a melt-up. The reason that the Fed is reducing
rates is because although the economy is doing great, they see signs of slowing and have no other
option to keep the economy growing. But I caution you, don't buy into this. Please, if the
interest rates go down, don't get a bigger house, because it won't last.
forever and financial trouble eventually will come.
A great place to start is the salary-based consultants at Americanfinancing.net.

So I just want to show you that because it's Pride Week, the CEO of YouTube came out and said he was really, really sorry.
He had to apologize to the gay community for what Stephen Crowder did.
He was wholly inappropriate.
I want to play some audio here on the gay pride gathering in Washington, D.C.
The question was, what is the biggest threat to gay rights?
Here's what the gay pride paraders had to say.
We're asking what people think the biggest threat to gay rights is in America.
today. Why are you out here today?
I've lived in this area my entire life, so I went all out.
Chitty's out.
We're here to celebrate our identities, our sexual identities, our gender identities, our expression.
What do you think the biggest threat to gay rights is today?
Straight people?
I think you could say this administration right now.
That's all I'm gonna say, and I think our current administration...
Donald Trump?
Yeah, fucking Donald Trump.
The police?
First and formal.
Police?
Our current political establishment?
I think the biggest threat is the...
The biggest threat is the Trump administration.
What do you think the bigger threat to gay rights is in America?
Radical Islam or Donald Trump?
I think we all know the answer to that one.
The big horns thing sitting in the White House.
Yeah, the...
Radical Islam or Donald Trump?
I live under Iraq.
I would probably say Trump.
Donald Trump.
Sounds like a true question to me because they both got issues.
Trump and his administration have cast in multiple threats on our, an entire race.
Honestly, Trump is a white supremacist and all he cares about is white people and white power.
White straight people, let's be a white people.
He has no, he gives no f***s about anyone other than white people.
Fuck it, I am who I am.
If you don't like it, fuck it.
Regardless of those two options, what is the biggest threat to gay rights in this country today?
I would say it comes down to a humane rights issue.
The white power that involves.
this country is disgusting. I think white power should be released from this country. And I think
that Trump and his administration perpetuated system of racism that is institutionalized. And
black people and people of color are absolutely marginalized and really just like criminalized for
no reason. And I think that it's all because of Trump and his administration.
How's your Cortez?
What we need is people in power, not just the president, but like Congress to stand behind.
and like people that aren't just straight white men.
Yeah.
Straight white men, for sure.
I'm here as an anti-capitalist, as anti-police, anti-military.
I'm here to celebrate the original meaning of pride.
So I'm here protesting the cops in the parade.
I'm here processing the military in the parade.
And I'm here celebrating my identity and my friends as well.
They don't want to be a B.
Republicans.
Basically, they don't want to see equal rights.
want to see anyone thriving.
Okay. All right.
I think we've heard enough.
Now,
we get heard enough from Akazio-Cortez here.
Acosio-Cortez who attends a parade.
These are the people that
YouTube is apologizing to.
Really?
Which one is hate speech?
Which one? I don't know. I got feelings.
It might be a problem there.
All right.
Our sponsor, this half hour is
life lock. Recent survey
found that privacy is the number one concern
about the smart home devices.
68% of responders
say they believe that smart home
devices listen to you when you're not aware
and share the data with companies.
They absolutely do.
They have admitted this.
Alexa is listening and recording
and they have humans
going through all of that.
Wait a minute. That's not what I signed up for.
That's not what you told me before.
We know this to be true.
Most of your life will be recorded by a speaker somewhere in your house.
That's what's coming.
Lots of threats in today's connected world.
It takes one week link for criminals to get in and destroy your identity.

However, once again, he stepped over the line.
Anyone who openly hates cats, I believe, are very insecure and, quote, hates cats because they are independent and cannot be controlled.
Well, that's not why I hate cats.
Just my opinion, but I have learned not to totally trust anyone who does not like or at least appreciate cats.
And I take offense to this.
I take umbrage to this because I do.
appreciate cats.
They make a very delicious stew.
And it's
perky.
Dogs...
Are you just trying to ruin the life of the people who check our email?
That's it.
It's just thought you want them dead.
That's all I try to do.
I feel like cats take of her leave of my road.
They don't care.
Well, leave them because I hate them.
Dogs are liberals.
Listen to this.
Dogs are liberals.
They're totally dependent on their owners and exhibit
blind panting faith.
Cats are conservatives and more than capable of surviving on their own and are not dependent on handouts.
Yes, but just like a liberal, they're usually on my kitchen counter looking for my food.
Yes, and don't tell me some San Francisco hippie would not be jumping up on your counter.
And we should point out, by the way, that dogs, I mean, look at Chernobyl.
There's dogs ranging around there all the time.
They're not getting fed by anybody.
They've moved into the system.
They've learned to be good members of society, so they are fed by humans.
But if they are not fed by humans, they're not going to just collapse.
They go out and they find their food.
Cats expect to be treated on equal terms, and I love that about cats.
Well, Mr. Smith, as if that is your real name, you couldn't be more wrong.
And I just want you to know that it is my deep belief.
Google this real quick, Stu.
It is my deep belief.
that cats are liberals and dogs are conservatives.
More conservatives like dogs and more liberals like and have cats.
And I think that's no matter what the study actually says, that's universal truth.
Well, you will be happy to hear, Glenn, that the study and science backs you up on this.
There is a, under the very clever demo cats and Republicans, you find, oh boy.
Oh, boy.
You find here's the top 10 states for cat ownership.
10, Ohio.
Okay, purple state.
Nine, New York.
Eight, Pennsylvania.
Seven, New Hampshire.
Then six, not a state, but district of Columbia.
Five, Connecticut, four Vermont.
Three main, two, Maryland, and number one, Massachusetts.
So for cats.
What is this telling you?
They're not just liberals.
They're democratic socialists.
And for dogs.
Let's see.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, ten.
So you get Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, the top three for dogs, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas.
I mean, I think of the science is in.
That tells me, between New Mexico and Texas, they're independent thinkers.
They're independent thinkers.
And definitely conservative.
Maybe even libertarian.
Just saying, I believe my dog may have voted.
other a few times.
You've sorted this out finally with the assistance of science.
There go.
All right.
Let me give you a story.
You know,
do you see the helicopter crash that happened yesterday?
Yeah.
In New York.
In New York City.
Yeah,
really,
really tragic.
But not as tragic as the first real helicopter crash that happened in
1977.
Now,
this guy,
we don't know what was wrong exactly,
but he was having trouble over the water.
For some reason,
instead of throwing it into the drink,
he tries to cut across Manhattan and land on a building, which was insanity.
But he unfortunately passed away, and there were some real problems yesterday.
And my, well, I hate to say this, but my thoughts and prayers with those in New York because they're kind of having to, they had a little flashback about 9-11 yesterday.
New York's a very weird place and something, anything in the sky makes you skittish when you live in
in New York.
But let me tell you this.
In fact, I want to read the story from the New York Times from 1977.
This is the day after it happened.
New York Airways helicopter idling on a heliport
atop the Pan Am building in Midtown Manhattan,
keeled over on a broken landing gear yesterday afternoon,
and a huge rotor blade snapped off and slashed four people
cut them in half before coming to rest 59 stories below and a block away on Madison Avenue.
A fifth victim died later at Bellevue Hospital.
The whirling like a giant boomerang, the blade struck four people on the rooftop landing pad,
killing three of them by cutting them in half instantly and plunging over the skyscrapers west side.
About halfway down the gray tower, the blade crashed into a window and broke in two.
One piece of a blade continued to fall, whirling onto Madison Avenue, and killing a woman walking on Madison
shortly after 5.30 p.m., the height of evening rush hour.
At least seven persons were killed, five seriously.
Three of the injured were a man, his wife, and their young son.
Most were said to have been struck by the runaway rooster.
rotor blade or by fragments of it or the shattered window of the Pan Am building.
Authorities say the emergency medical crews encountered delays of 45 minutes of getting the
injured out of the building because the elevators had been shut down on the upper floors.
It was the first major accident at the controversial helicopter landing site above the tower,
which rises above the ornate grand central terminal on Park Avenue.
The heliport was used for 26 months, but service was stopped.
in 1968, principally, because it wasn't profitable, and flights were resumed only last February.
Now, this story is being written in 1977.
When the Blaze was looking for property in New York, we actually went up to the top of what was
the Pan Am building. It's now the MetLife building.
And because I wanted to build a glass cube studio on top of that roof right where that airport was,
just to just to say screw you to all the New York elites
for some reason they didn't want me to build that
but we went in and it is still
looks like a 1960s
airport lounge it's like three stories tall
and then you take an elevator to go up to the roof
and you see this this like bubble top
of strong you know bulletproof glass
where the flight tower and the, you know, pretty much is where all of the air traffic controllers were,
that's all been stripped out and it's now FBI, possibly, equipment.
It's all listening devices and monitoring and radio devices that was installed after 9-11.
So there's nothing on that roof anymore except that that, that, that, that, that, that,
lobby of this pan. I mean, it's like walking into a time tunnel. It's a little like walking into
like what I think Chernobyl would be today, just creepy and old and a time capsule.
They say in this story, the accident occurred only a minute after the aircraft landed after a
flight from Kennedy International Airport. Its 20 passengers had disembarked and a half dozen of the
21 new passengers had gone aboard. Suddenly, the right front landing gear,
crumpled and the huge aircraft toppled on its right side near the northeast corner of the
rooftop. Witnesses said scenes of horror ensued. Windows along its side shattered. One of the four
20-foot blades of the mass horizontal rotor broke off. The blade and shards of glass were hurled
into the small crowd of people waiting to board the aircraft. Many flung themselves down. Others were
cut down. There was nothing but screaming metal.
the screaming metal and glass flying, one said.
Everyone threw themselves to the floor and there was blood all over everyone.
It was terrible.
I heard great sounds and glass was blowing all over us.
Some of the victims were cut into pieces.
Shortly after the accident, the rooftop was a scene of carnage.
Blood splattered clothing and newspapers pressed the roof.
It was littered with toiletry kits, magazines,
books all torn apart and bloodied. Nearby, a cart filled with baggage stood intact. After slashing
through the group on the roof, the blade and the glass shards tumbled down toward Vanderbilt
Avenue at the base of the skyscrapers' west facade. After breaking off in a window halfway down,
part of the blade hurled down, according to a fire lieutenant and killed the woman on Madison
Avenue. Other pedestrians were cut by falling glass.
This is, can you imagine seeing this?
Can you imagine the horror in, in 1977 of this helicopter?
I mean, luckily it did not fall over the side.
Parts of the helicopter yesterday did fall over the side.
And those streets, people, the guy yesterday said that he was in,
I'm trying to remember the name of the place he was in,
but he was in a, like a lobby of something,
and there was huge glass windows,
and he said that he thought it was like a hail storm.
He said it lasted three minutes of just glass coming down into the streets.
Three minutes.
Imagine being on the street.
That's incredible.
This is the story why they got rid of the helicopters.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why you cannot fly over in New York City.
You need special permission to do it.
We've done it a couple of times, but that's because I know Bill O'Reilly.
We were on our way to give a speech someplace.
And I had never flown over New York and always wanted to, but you can't do it.
And Bill's like, oh, yeah, we can.
Magna, call ahead.
Tell them we want to fly over in New York.
And so we flew over the city, which was crazy.
And then on the way back, he said, you want to see the Statue of Liberty like nobody else?
And I'm like, sure.
So we got really close to the head of the Statue of Liberty.
I thought we were going to be shot out of the sky.
If people would have known who was in the helicopter, I think we would have been.
Especially in New York.
But we flew around the head of the Statue of Liberty.
I mean, it's knowing Bill O'Reilly does have its advantages.
I was surprised to hear that like, I guess because after 9-11,
they did do a lot of the banning.
You couldn't fly.
I remember being there after 9-11 and seeing planes and occasional helicopters flying over the city.
It was like weird because the only time you've ever seen that unless you live in New York and are there all the time is when you've seen like the footage of right before 9-11 when you see a plane fly over the city.
It's like you don't see that view very often.
So it's shocking.
Do you remember we just had started war in, I don't know, Iraq, I think.
And we were in New York and President Bush was coming.
coming. Do you remember when they were flying the jets low over the rivers? Do you remember that day?
I don't. Yeah, they used to fly every once in a while they would do training missions. And if the president would come in, they would just lock the city down.
And they flew these jets over the water, over the bridges and then down towards the water, really close.
and everybody who had been there for September 11th was freaking out because the last time they saw that was on 9-11.
And it was freaky even if you didn't see it because you're not used to any kind of plane being that close to the city.
They just don't do it anymore.
Yeah, well, you know, it's interesting.
I was listening to some aviation expert talking about this particular crash.
And they said now they have in place for helicopters what they call visual flight rules.
which essentially is you have to stay under the cloud
and you have to be, I think it's 500 feet was the limit.
And then you just basically have to just not hit the buildings.
It's like the policy.
Right.
It's like, wait, really?
That's the policy?
That's what they said.
Visual flight rules essentially.
Really? You can fly over now?
Yeah, essentially, I guess they must have loosened it after the immediate aftermath of 9-11.
The guy should not be of been flying over the city, I think, for multiple reasons.
but one of which is he was in the clouds.
And you don't know, you're flying in the clouds in New York City.
All of a sudden, a building is right in front of you.
All right.
New from Goldline.
I want to talk to you about our sponsor.
It is Goldline.
Goldline has a new four-coin collection of 1881, $5 Liberty coins from the U.S.
These were the ones that, you know, the people in the 1880s out west
when they were playing poker and they threw gold down, that was their money.
That's what they were carrying around.
Goldline has acquired an old-time horde of these coins, not a large quantity, but enough to make a special offer for Goldline customers.
It's the $5 gold coins, the half eagle.
It was used heavily during the 1800s.
Our country was strong.
It was expanding into the Midwest, initiating new projects with the money from the east.
These are historic coins.
In fact, so historic, the electric iron was invented using this money.
The Wharton School of Finance was established using these coins.
The Barnum-Baley Circus became an American institution.
The Wild West saw the gunfighted the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, when this was in people's pockets.
This is a piece of history that you can own.
This is also the kind of coin that I buy.
please consider gold and silver consider these old coins ask gold line why i buy them it's uh goldline
go to goldline.com i would call them now even if you own gold this is something that you can
update with this is really this is a really special offer call eight six six gold line one eight six
gold line or goldline dot com welcome to the program so there's a new book out today and i know
everybody's going to be rushing to avoid it. It's the new Jim Acosta book, which he's been,
you know, he's warning the conservatives. You're not going to be able to, you're not going to
be able to control the White House forever. Yeah, I know that. And Jim, I've got a warning to you and
your publisher. I don't think you're going to sell any more than 1,600 books this week. Because, I mean,
who really, seriously? Who wants to be seen going in and out of a bookstore with a Jim Acosta book?
This is why they have Amazon.
Not even liberals.
No, they won't even buy this.
They won't even buy this.
No, they won't buy this in secret.
They won't.
They won't.
They won't.
They're not interested in it.
Who's interested in Jim Acosta?
You're listening to Glenn.
