Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck. So there he was. David Hogg, dressed in a snappy-looking suit,
Starting point is 00:00:19 ending his March for Our Lives speech with the line, thank you. I love you all. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. What a politician. Now, wait a minute. Hang on just a second.
Starting point is 00:00:35 God bless you. I mean, I thought the entire reason they began this whole thing was because merely sending thoughts and prayers, that prayers were pointless. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. What a pointless thing to say. Hashtag never again.
Starting point is 00:00:55 We've got to do something. And invoking the man upstairs is for children. Oh, wait a minute. That's who we are. Anyway, I digress. Hogg continued, we can, and we will change the world. With that, he thrust his clenched fist into the air in triumph. Wait a minute, I've seen that clenched finch the fist before.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Yes, yes, I saw it in the 1960s, but that's not it. No, no, no. I mean, what was else that was a symbol for? Oh, oh, there. Yes, that's right. The anti-Trump resist movement. That's right. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Emma Gonzalez, she was great. She gave her speech. She was rocking this great outfit with a Cuban flag patch on her army green jacket. That is fantastic. So we've got two kids advocating against the Second Amendment of the Constitution, while at the same time rep in the resist movement and communism. Oh, this is neat. Now, I don't think I need to point the obvious out here, but I'm going to anyway.
Starting point is 00:02:07 There's more going on here than just guns and leftists all over the country. Adult leftists have weaponized a bunch of, dare I say it? Well, I can because we're just quoting Lenin. They've weaponized a bunch of useless idiots. So useful idiots, useful idiots. I, well, they could be useless. Anyway, a bunch of kids to do their dirty work. Now, how do we know this?
Starting point is 00:02:39 Well, follow the money. Oh, wait, wait a minute, we can't follow the money. Oh, yeah, we'd have to be able to follow the money because there's all kinds of paperwork and all kinds of permits that have to be done for a march like this, right? Yes, but the puppet masters behind this thing have hidden their paper. portrayal. It's a conspiracy. No, this is just the way it's done. This march was supposedly organized by kids, four kids. Yeah. Well, it had its paperwork filed by a woman, not a kid,
Starting point is 00:03:16 a woman named Jerry Rhodes. Now, who's Jerry Rhodes? I'm sure she's just a mom, right? She's just a mom in Parkland. Neither that, or she's the CFO for Greenpeace, but now works for the national, the Friends Committee on National Legislation. It's a high-powered lobbying firm in D.C. Wow, how did she get involved? You'll never guess, by the way, what they specialize in. From their LinkedIn page, they focus on, quote, social and economic justice.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, rocking that Cuban flag. Demonstrations like March for Our Lives are usually set up as a 501C3. How do I know that? I've set these marches up. 501c3. But Jerry Rhodes didn't do that. Instead, she filed for a 501C4. It's one number better. Well, what does that mean, Glenn?
Starting point is 00:04:17 Well, a 501c3, you have to let everybody know who's behind it. But a 501c4 status lets you hide your donors. so no one knows who the donors are. Remember we did that at the Rally for America and, oh, no, wait, we didn't do that. Well, we did it when we marched on Washington. No, we didn't do that either because the press was demanding to know who was funding. That's right. Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Well, the press must just, they must be all up in arms about this 501C4 thing. whoever footed the bill for Miss Rhodes will probably forever be a secret for a couple of reasons. A, nobody in the press really seems to care who funded it. This is not AstroTurf. The rest of the March for Our Lives organizers will probably never be known. But this is not their first rodeo and it won't be their last. The last thing they want is names like George Soros to pop on the tax sheet. And I'll bet he's just one of the embarrassing names that were involved here.
Starting point is 00:05:30 We do know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz swooped in from the beginning to start linking these kids with progressive groups. Groups like Giffords Every Town for Gun Safety. And, of course, they love the children, Planned Parenthood. And the Women's March. You know, the ones who have been linked now to Louis Farrakhan. They're the ones who took the roles in organizing this event. but we'll never know the full extent because big progressive donors don't want you to know who's really in charge here. A 501c4 ensures that no one will ever know.
Starting point is 00:06:06 All the while, the media and Hollywood stars focus the attention on the kids. Oh, isn't that sweet? This is in chapter one of the progressive propaganda playbook. Progressives have moved on from simply invoking the words, Let's do it for our children to actually doing it to the children. If you're curious, now that the march is over, David Hogg isn't finished, he's now going to crusade for opposing voter identification laws. Get ready for more of this.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Yes, raise your fist in the air. Resist! Sport the Cuban flag! Because this is only the beginning. It's Monday, March 26th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. So the protesters, can we play the audio here in the video? They say they want to ban assault weapons, but do they even know what that means?
Starting point is 00:07:11 Let's support the kids. Let's listen to their voices. Play the audio, please. I think there needs to be a complete ban on assault weapons. We need laws in place that are going to prevent people from walking into schools with assault rifles. Yeah, I think there definitely needs to be a ban on these assault rifles. Any banning of any guns, I would be supportive. To give up some rights to have assault rifles, it's like a higher priority than people losing their lives.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Assault weapons are not necessary for home defense. They're not necessary for the average citizen to have. What laws would you like to see? What kind of guns would you like to see banned? Just assault rifles. Do you know what assault weapon is? Yeah, it's assault weapon. It's like I kind of do, but kind of don't. Like, I, no, I guess. But assault weapons, like, does that sound safe to you? When an assault weapon is? Yeah, it's like, it's an arm that, like a gun, for instance, that you can buy at a shop pretty easily,
Starting point is 00:08:17 that is, like, can cause more deaths than, like, one, I guess. Yes, you nailed it. Man. More than one. They're good, right? That's assault weapons. Yes. That's what they do.
Starting point is 00:08:33 They kill more than one. You buy them at a store. It's that kind of a gun. They don't even know. They want to say, you know, it's a big black scary looking gun. That's what they want to say, but they know that that'll make them sound like an idiot. So they're trying to come up with something that doesn't make them sound like an idiot, which isn't working here. If you had this idea and you were like, you know what, heroin is bad.
Starting point is 00:08:59 but you know what's really bad is Mexican heroin and you went to the front of the American people said look we're not trying to ban all heroin we're just trying to buy Mexican heroin because it's a really bad product and it does really bad things and when people came to ask you what's the difference between Mexican heroin
Starting point is 00:09:16 and heroin from anywhere else in the world stuff for Mexico right and if they didn't have an answer to that you might correctly assume that their actual goal was to ban all heroin because if you want to want to wanted to ban just Mexican heroin, you would come up with a real, you'd have a real understanding
Starting point is 00:09:34 of the nuances between the two products. And that's what's interesting here with the gun debate, is they come here and they say they want to ban assault weapons, but they don't even bother to get the most basic understanding of what the thing they're trying to ban is. Now, if you really care, and there's a real difference, and the only thing you're after, you're for the Second Amendment, of course, but you're really just looking to ban these assault weapons, wouldn't you take the time to know what it is? No. No, no.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Unless, of course, your goal is just to ban all guns, and this is the easiest one to get done. Well, now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There's a new commercial out, and it is all about gun control facts. Oh, really? And they brought the actors in,
Starting point is 00:10:23 and they said, just read the lines off prompter. And then they watched their reactions as they read the facts of the gun control facts. And it was kind of, it was weird as they were reading these facts. They were learning as they went. Listen to this. Did you know, according to the CDC, there were roughly 38,000 gun deaths in 2016. Two thirds of them were suicides. There are over 300 million guns in the United States.
Starting point is 00:10:57 There are over five times more murders by knives than by rifles. The U.S. has the highest gun ownership rate in the world, but ranks 28th in gun murders. That's a rate of 2.97 deaths per 100,000 people. Handguns are responsible for more than 80% of total mass shootings. Between 1993 and 2003, gun ownership increased by 56% while gun violence in decreased by nearly half. Since 1950, nearly all mass public shootings have occurred in gun-free zones.
Starting point is 00:11:32 From 2013 to 2015, the six states that banned open carry actually experienced higher rates of police death. 86.4% of 20,000 police chiefs and sheriff support concealed carry and are overwhelmingly against further gun control. Those that have concealed carry permits on average commit less crime than police. Hmm, imagine that. Yeah, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:12:00 There is a clear correlation between higher firearm ownership and reducing police killings. Switzerland, a nation of about 8 million, is armed with an estimated 2 million guns in circulation with limited gun legislation. Switzerland's overall gun homicide rate is practically zero. Gun ownership does not correlate with the homicide rate. Interesting. I haven't done, I just kind of blindly chose a side on the whole issue without really thinking about facts. I mean, I'm gonna be honest for me.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I don't really like go to the main news sources because a lot of it's always like pushed by an agenda. You know what I mean? So, you know, to get like the real facts, you always have to do more research. I mean, it definitely makes me want to do more research. I want to do more research about like everything that's happening with gun violence. It's interesting to actually take the time and see what the facts say as opposed to what I personally feel. I didn't know a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I was pretty much, yeah, pretty much all of it. Gun control does not really mean crime control. But it's not really up to the guns itself that's going to cause harm to people. It's really about the bad people. I mean, it boils down to people. No. It's interesting, isn't it? You watch that video at the blaze.com.
Starting point is 00:13:26 It's remarkable to see them. As they're reading these things, you can see them going, wait, wait, this is not working out the way I thought it was. There are very few statements of opinion in there. I mean, the overwhelming majority of those were just straight out facts that you can't really argue with. You can make other points that you think defeat those, but the bottom line is those are truthful statements. this is something that you should take and share with all of your friends again you can find it at the blaze.com but you should share this with all of your friends you can also share the book control um it is um who's that's who wrote that i'm just looking to fact jam it makes sources are important to me so i did i wrote that oh that did not help your case yeah well every single fact in it is footnoted i love the crime stats and the gun stats because they're usually from the FBI and the Justice Department. Is that a thing you could say now?
Starting point is 00:14:24 No, I guess not. Is that a credible source anymore? I guess not. I don't know if we're allowed to do that. I guess not. I don't want to tell you about Liberty Safe. Liberty Safe makes great safes, but now they also make it easy to own one. At LibertySafe.com, you can buy a Liberty Safe at a great price and receive a 12-month
Starting point is 00:14:51 interest-free payment with zero down and zero APR. They even offer Liberty Saves for as low as $20 a month. month. Liberty has been with me for, I think, almost 10 years now, eight years, and I have to tell you that there is nothing like owning a Liberty Safe. And there is nothing like being able to talk to you about a Liberty Safe because they are just so rock solid in the last eight years. We have literally seen this thing picked up by a hurricane, I mean a tornado and dropped a couple of blocks away. Still intact. Door still closed. Everything's still fine inside. We've seen. We've seen a a house in California. Burn all the way down. Only the chimney and the safe were remaining.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's amazing. Liberty Safe. Great in-home delivery service unmatched in the industry and they are made here in America. Do what I did. Have it installed in your home. 12 months interest free payments for as low as $20 a month now on approved credit. Act now. Your valuables are always protected with the Liberty Safe. At Liberty Safe. At Liberty Safe. dot com the best built safes on the planet go there now liberty safe dot com glen back mercury glan back well not everybody got a chance to speak um you know because it's not a march for our lives it was a march for gun control which is actually a a march for fascism i mean it really is it was it was um a by the same exact people who did not have a problem at all with all of the executive orders
Starting point is 00:16:44 and everything else. They didn't have a problem with that if it was done by Obama. But now they are saying that President Trump is a fascist. I had a problem with executive orders and everything else all the time. Under Bush, under this guy, under Barack Obama, but I got a problem with them. They don't. They don't. they have a problem with it if it's under somebody from the GOP.
Starting point is 00:17:11 And I can't imagine you're saying that, you know, I'm afraid he's a fascist. Let's give him all our guns. What are you thinking? How does that even work in your head? How do we know that it really isn't about the safety of our children and doing something? It's not about doing something very, very specific. Ask the family of the murdered Parkland student that wasn't allowed to speak at the rally. The program which was registered and implemented in Florida,
Starting point is 00:17:47 in which would allow properly trained officers and veterans and unemployed veterans to acquire the training to protect our schools because we've seen in Maryland that the only way to stop a bad guy with the gun is a good guy with the gun. And it really concerned me as to how come we did not see a single person. liked more armed guards at the school. Absolutely. I mean, we saw it Maryland. He stopped the shooter. He did his job and had the Cowards of Broward done their job.
Starting point is 00:18:14 I think that the count in Parkland would have been much lower. We saw that in Maryland, that a good guy with the gun stopped the bad guy with the gun. The only way to stop an active shooter on campus is to have another person to eliminate him. Okay, the Cowards of Broward. So he wasn't allowed to speak. That's Kyle. He wasn't allowed to speak. But neither was Andrew and Hunter. Pallick.
Starting point is 00:18:36 The hatred and sickness that fuels a killer to kill innocent students is something most of us will never understand. But that doesn't mean it's something we can't ignore. We need to be on a mission to stop these monsters before they take action inside our schools. We must demand our leaders to help those who are sick, but we must also demand that they protect those of us who are not. In closing, I ask you to say my sister's name to yourself. It's such a beautiful name.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Meadow. If you say her name, it's impossible not to feel the beauty of who she was and who she will always be. Meadow, it makes me think of a sunny day, like this one, a day where the sun shines on our youth and shines on her desire to live a safe and happy life. I can feel Meadow right now. She's asking us to come together. She wants us to thank my families and the parents of the victims like my dad Andrew and Mr. Ryan Petty. And all the others are returning their grief into something.
Starting point is 00:19:40 positive. She says, thank you for continuing to fight for the survivors and students of all ages. Meadows asking us to be smarter and the love and to share the common denominator we share. So here is, here is, what's wrong with that message? What's wrong with that message? Why can't that be shared? That can't be shared because they don't stand on gun control. They're not popular. This isn't about taking care of our kids. This is so about gun control. And it is orchestrated by very powerful,
Starting point is 00:20:16 very left people. Glenn Beck. Mercury. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Well, we have John James. He is running for the U.S. Senate. And he's a, he's a ranger, qualified aviation officer.
Starting point is 00:20:51 He served with distinction to Operation Iraqi Freedom. He has earned the Combat Action badge, two air medals, among other words, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think this is, he's a, he's quote, a lean Six Sigma black belt, so we've got that in common.
Starting point is 00:21:09 And he's now running for, for Senate. Hello, John. How are you? Good morning, good morning. I'm doing great. Thanks for having me on. So, so tell me why you would want to move, you would want to move to Washington and be in the Senate? Well, I'll tell you what, can I answer
Starting point is 00:21:28 honestly for you and your listeners here? I don't want to go to the swamp. I think anybody who wants to need to have their head examined, but I am doing this because I have a passion for service. That's what led me to leave my
Starting point is 00:21:44 privilege, my blessings, the blessings from God that I've been given when I was 17 to enlist in the military in the first place, because I understand. stood that too many people have died for my rights for me to sit on my tail and do nothing to give back. So I worked my way into West Point after enlisting for a year. I graduated from West Point in 2004, and I became a ranger qualified Apache pilot who had the honor to deploy in Operation Iraqi Freedom and lead some of the best men and women in this world ever known
Starting point is 00:22:12 into combat and bring them back. We fought an Operation of Rocket Freedom of 709, flying patrol missions, Air reconnaissance patrol over Baghdad, and, and, and, and, you know, And it was there, actually, that I was struck. We were going through the Great Recession all over the country, but no place was hit harder than Michigan. And so while I'm over fighting for Iraqi freedom, I get images beamed back to me while I'm sitting in a dining facility, images that look of home, Michigan, Flint, Detroit, Mesquite, and Saginaw, areas of my home that look worse in the combat zone. I'm flying, and I said, this cannot be in my America. And so I resolved that when I got done fighting for Iraqi freedom, I come back home and fight for Michiganers.
Starting point is 00:22:53 And what did Michiganers need? We need a great recession. We need a job. We need the opportunity. So I joined the family business, automotive logistics company, and was able to deploy some of the skillsets that I learned in the military, to lead culture change, to lead investment in talent, technology to grow my company from $35 million to $137 million and add and add 100 additional jobs. I believe that my passion for service, it understands.
Starting point is 00:23:17 how to bring people together to get results and accomplish mission and understanding how to do this and achieve this from the battlefield to the boardrooms. What we so need in Washington. And I'm answering the duty to go back and continue my service. And you can learn a little bit more about this on john james for senate.com. Well, you got it all in. You got it down. All right. So, John, you're running in Michigan.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You're running against Stabenow. why should Michigan change from Stabenow? You know, I could effectively run on her record when you consider what she hasn't done in 43 years of elected office and 20 years in Washington. There is no better example of somebody who's increasingly disconnected from the needs of Michiganders. when you have a sitting senator who is just recently been shown that she is serving, she's on the end of her third term, she's polling below 50%, below 50%, and a generic Republican is polling at 45%. Honestly, John, that's because, I mean, you know, at least she's a woman, you know, you're a white man.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Well, I'm definitely not a generic Republican. I'm a 36-year-old African-American man conservative. Oh, gee, you're an African-American. I thought the only conservatives were white old men. Well, I'll tell you what. My values are faith and family, God and country, and service before itself. I'm a Republican because I'm conservative, not the other way around, and my values don't belong to any particular political party.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm running because I have a passion for service, and I want to do more for the people of state of Michigan, and I'll tell you what, by running somebody like me, I will broaden the back of the elephant to include my, millennials and minorities the way no other candidate can. I believe we have an opportunity not just to win this seat, but to get a massive win for our party for generations. So who are the people, John, in the Senate that you admire,
Starting point is 00:25:19 that you would say that these are the people I want to hang out with? Well, I say Tom Cotton does a good job sticking to his guns and delivering on conservative principles. He's also a veteran as well. And I think that by getting more veterans on the, look, as I travel around the state, really, I can tell you, is all the chaos. People want somebody who understands how to keep Americans safe because they've done it before on the floor of the U.S. Senate as the world becomes a more and more dangerous place.
Starting point is 00:25:48 And someone like Tom, I believe, does a great job. So, I have, you know, I've seen reports that military guys, when they get in, they're much more likely to expand the power of the government because it's, what they know as opposed to limit the power of the government. Well, I would also say that I'm not a one-trick pony. I also understand what it's like to run a business. I also understand what it's like to run a business in Detroit coming out of a recession. And I understand also from seeing the fraud, waste, and these are government is so wasteful. I believe that getting back to the best government being at the state and local level
Starting point is 00:26:35 and understanding on the federal level that we the people have not delegated certain authority to the federal government, the Tenth Amendment is not, and right it, it's James Madison. But understanding, when you swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, it requires people to have the discipline to actually follow through on that. I truly believe that having is not just about the veteran, but it's about the actual person who you're voting for. And candidates matter. I do have the military background, but I also understand how our government is supposed to function. And not only am I a better, but I'm also a businessman who understands that our country is great because of our capitalistic system of self-determination.
Starting point is 00:27:18 That allows everybody to achieve the American dream when the federal government stays out of the way. I've seen here that Debbie Stabenow votes with Chuck Schumer about 95% of the time. What would you do? Like 85, 90? What's your expecting percentage? Well, you know, I heard the other day on the trail that with numbers like that, Debbie is an enemy of the state. And I have to tell you, I mean, even if you are a Democrat and you look at those numbers, you have to say that by the numbers, Debbie Stabenow has a solid A as a New York center, how does that represent Michigan? It doesn't.
Starting point is 00:27:58 And for somebody who says that she puts people before politics, it's a lie. It's a lie, and we have data. Democrats are afraid of data. But you know what? Data doesn't care about your feelings. And right now the proof is that she votes with a New York senator, a progressive New York senator, and she's more aligned with the disconnected coastal elites than she is with the hardworking people of Michigan. I will be aligned with the hardworking people of Michigan.
Starting point is 00:28:24 And you can find out more about my views on John James or Senator. You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter at John James, M.I. I was looking at your website, which is great. And I'm realizing that I'm really out of shape when I look at your picture. It's just depressing me. I think you're trying to inspire us, and I'm just depressed. That's why you don't have a lean six Sigma black belt like I do. Like you do.
Starting point is 00:28:51 So, John, you know, you're right about, I went to Detroit. and I thought I've seen war zones that look better than this. I can't believe it's an American city, and especially Detroit, the American city. You know, you're right. And in my father's lifetime, Michigan was the place that people came for opportunity. Immigrants who immigrated here correctly, the right way legally, who came here legally, and we're able to come to Michigan to pursue opportunity. And while the decades of liberal mismanagement, Michigan has been, and most of this has been on Debbie Stabenow's watch.
Starting point is 00:29:39 She's either been in Lansing or Washington for the past 43 years, and she has been like Nero watching Michigan crumble. I truly believe that by having somebody who understands national security and economic opportunity, And you mentioned the Lean Six Sigma Black, though. That is a supply chain operations management discipline that focuses on increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of organizations. I've worked in the largest government bureaucracy that we have, the U.S. Army, and I've been successful in it. I also understand how to be successful in business. I understand how to make things more efficient and effective, and I understand how to ask the right questions. And so I think that's a skill set that Debbie Stabenow has not, she has not had the occasion to develop the skill set to qualify to be a senator in her 43 years in elected office.
Starting point is 00:30:28 I have from both the military and the private sector. And I believe that we need to get better results, more results immediately for the people who've been suffering the state of Michigan. John James running for the U.S. Senate in Michigan against Debbie Stabenow. And it's good to talk to you, John. God bless and good luck. Thanks so much. He's trying to make that 6 Sigma black belt like a Jack Welsh thing. Please.
Starting point is 00:30:59 I didn't get my black belt from Welsh. I don't think they... Forget it. I was going to be very mean. Okay, so John James Resonet.com is the place to go at John James, M.I. And he was great. I mean, he's an interesting... I mean, I don't know if he can win.
Starting point is 00:31:18 But that's what they said about Trump and Michigan, too. And he did. I think Michigan's not the Michigan it used to be. Yeah. I think Michigan has been like, you know what? Hmm. This isn't really working. And Stabenow is one of the worst.
Starting point is 00:31:31 I mean, she is really on that far, far, far left side of the Democrats. I mean, maybe they could embrace a more moderate Democrat. No. I'd rather they go a different direction. And John James is a great one. All right. Thank you very much. Let me tell you about Car Shield.

Starting point is 00:33:20 Glenn back, Mercury. I don't hear this, these headlines every day. I've got, I've got two stories. One is about the self-taught rocket scientist who blasted. He's a self-taught rocket scientist. Yes, right. That's, you know, let's do it yourself. Hey, that's important.
Starting point is 00:33:51 YouTube is out there. And the other one is the mother that crashed her car into a poll to prove to her kids that God was real. Which one do you want? Choose your line. Let's go self-taught rocket scientist. Okay, self-taught rocket scientist has blasted himself into the California sky using steam-powered contraption that he built in his garage. This is his first step in his long-term aim of proving the earth is flat. Mad my cues, Mads in quotation marks.
Starting point is 00:34:27 He must. Is that his nickname for himself or is that perhaps someone else? I think he might embrace that. Yeah. He propelled himself 1,800 feet into the air above the Mojave Desert in a homemade rocket before deploying his parachute and landing back to Earth with a bump. He is a 61-year-old limo driver who believes that the Earth is flat. He says, am I glad I did it?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Yeah, I guess. I probably won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, but at least I can go and have dinner with my cats tonight. This guy is... Seems like the person, type of person who might be having cats for dinner. It might be the kind of person that Homeland Security should keep an eye on. The Flat Earther, who has spent around $20,000 pursuing his rocket dream since 2016, admitted he was relieved to finally have achieved his goal of following several aborted attempts.
Starting point is 00:35:25 You did... You're not going to get it on the first try. No, no, no, no. He, you know, he had several attempts. attempts and some people ridiculed him and he said he was tired of people saying I chickened out and that I really didn't build a rocket he said I'm tired of that stuff so I manned up but I did it He said you know I don't know if you know this but rockets can kill you in ten different ways I bet there's more ways that a rocket can kill you than ten
Starting point is 00:35:53 He said the California native was forced to postpone his takeoff and his attempt last year from an abandoned runway in a go coast town located about 200 miles east of Los Angeles due to his motor home slash rocket launcher breaking down. That does happen with a lot. NASA's hit face that many times. A lot of their mobile homes break down before shuttle launches. So it's a it's a motor home slash rocket launcher.
Starting point is 00:36:22 And did I mention that the rocket is steam powered? It's got to be steam powered. What else is you going to do with it? He said that he has a hard time getting permits for it. I just go to the steam-powered rocket division of any local, you know, government building. Sure. I actually find this to be a little inspiring, don't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:44 So what, you know, so what, the earth isn't flat and he's going to, he's not going to win this one, okay? But he took 20 grand of his own money, built a steam-powered rocket shot 1,800 feet in the air. Could you do that? No, no. No, would I want to? No. No. Anyway, he says he wants his next rocket,
Starting point is 00:37:02 we'll take him 68 miles up in space so he can photograph. Wait, 1800 feet of 68 miles? Yeah, you may want to midstep in there somewhere. I don't know. No. He said, you know, do I believe the earth is shaped like a frisbee? I do believe it is. I can't disprove it after months of research.
Starting point is 00:37:20 So he needs to get up into space and settle this once and for all. Glenn, back. Mercury, courage, truth. So most of the reports over the weekend, if you were watching that in the mainstream media, it looked like the entire country took to the streets as we can protest the evil Second Amendment. The March for Our Lives is what it was called,
Starting point is 00:37:53 supposedly organized by the teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting. It is so absurd that it's laughable to say that. The march was slated to be a massive show of four, against guns, which, according to March, organizers, are the cause of school shootings. No, they're really not. The mainstream media has applauded the march, of course. They've held these kids up on their shoulders.
Starting point is 00:38:19 CNN article said, of the young speakers in Washington, D.C., the gathering for the event, they were defiant. They were outraged, and they were determined. Wow. Wow. Did you ever hear that about the Tea Party? That they were defiant, that they were determined, that they were outraged? No, not unless it was a pejorative.
Starting point is 00:38:48 They had a resounding message for the lawmakers in Washington, enough gun violence, end quote. Now, the celebrity donors this time around included George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and Stephen Spielberg. They all pledged half a million dollars each. Gucci donated $500,000. and the Miami Dolphins, $100,000. May I ask, where was all this money after Sandy Hook? Where were the marches and the protests? Where were the similar non-stop screeds against President Obama?
Starting point is 00:39:20 How come? Where were they? To me, it seems like every weekend there's a new protest, a new cause for outrage. And quite honestly, I'm kind of bored by it all. If you took the media's word for it, it would seem like it was the country's largest events ever and the country was largely in agreement. Saturdays March, for example, hailed is one of the largest of its kind. I read someplace. It was the largest. Really? Because I saw the crowd and then I remember the Tea Party movement. I remember hearing that as inconsequential and there were more people at the
Starting point is 00:39:58 Tea Party rally. Organizers boasted that in D.C. alone, there were 800,000 people in a A tweet from the March for Our Lives account announced that more than 850,000 marched with us in D.C. Together we're so powerful. Together we will quote, hashtag throw them out, end quote. An objective estimate of the crowd size determined by CBS News, actually a little over 200,000 people. I have to tell you. There wasn't 200,000 people. There weren't 850,000 people.
Starting point is 00:40:33 It was about the size of the rally that we did, the Restoring Honor rally. That was about 750,000, between 500 and 750,000. It's still an awful lot of people. Not when you have all of the organizations behind it that they had, but still people are people and numbers or numbers. Oh, but wait a minute. Hang on, I forgot. To the organizers of the rally, facts clearly. don't matter. It's Monday, March 26th.
Starting point is 00:41:11 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Hello, America. So glad that you're here today. Did you see the, because we were in Los Angeles, I was in Los Angeles over the weekend, and I didn't really, was there, was there even a rally in Los Angeles? I mean, nobody I was around even
Starting point is 00:41:32 talked about it at all. I didn't see anything on the streets. I'm sure there was in Los Angeles, but. Well, you know, the media notice, though. The media, Yeah, they were, they were, I was, I was interesting because I saw a lot of, you know, on conservative Twitter was posting a lot of the controversial signs, the ones that they were mocking, you know, the religion of people and saying how, you know, that were blatantly left wing socialist, borderline communist messages and all these things. I saw a few of those on conservative websites. And I was like, you know, I wanted to see that list of maybe someone compiled a list. So I searched for the worst signs for the March of for Lives movement.
Starting point is 00:42:08 This is what came up. here are all the best signs for the March of Our Lives. America, your children, not your guns. Memorable signs for March of Our Lives. Here are the best signs from March of Our Lives. Here are the best signs for March of Our Lives. What about? These are all different sources, by the way.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Times, Slate, ABC, Washington Post. What about the bad ones? The best signs from March of Our Lives. What about the ones? Maybe you're looking for this one from Business Insider. Here are some of the best signs from March of Our Lives protest. No, I was looking for the bad ones. Here's another one.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Students stouts out with some of the best signs from the March of Our Lives. Can you imagine if the signs says, said if we would have marched with signs when we went to the rally for not rally for America, restoring honor, we didn't bring signs. Had there been one sign, one that said
Starting point is 00:42:51 something about Obama or said something about the other side, that's all they would have concentrated on. Here there were signs that were horrible about Dana. Dana Lash from the NRA. Personal attacks against her, her family,
Starting point is 00:43:06 because she, I mean, and let's be honest about it. They don't know that Dana Lash has been around and done multiple bestsellers and had a successful radio show and TV show. They know her from one interview she did on CNN, right? And she is, her family and her are subject to incredible personal attacks for absolutely no reason for defending one of our constitutional rights on television. If she doesn't want to be trashed, she should stop acting like trash. She's the public face of a terrorist organization. And she spent last month attacking children. who had been shot at.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Unbelievable. Oh, wait, I got another one. March for our lives. The most inspiring protest signs. March for our lives. Best signs from the rally. Then you finally get to the worst. The five worst takes from coverage
Starting point is 00:43:55 for the 2818 March of Our Lives from Media Matters. That's the next result. Unbelievable. I mean, it's incredible. And it's like, you know, yes, are there plenty of people who went to that rally?
Starting point is 00:44:07 Plenty of them who, you know, you know, believe, I believe wrongly in the solutions to gun violence, but take it seriously and want to protect children, of course. But that is not the way that they would cover it in the, in the, in the, that's one of the reasons why you said no signs, because the, the idea that something gets taken out of context, that some, um, someone, uh, who is there brings a sign that is actually bad. The idea that someone could bring a sign who does not even support the movement that is bad. So you said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:44:37 No signs. Let's just go there. and we'll have a normal person gathering. Because, you know, when you go out and talk to friends about issues, you're not bringing science, right? Science are for show. And this isn't supposed to be about a show. Now, here is a bunch of people who brought science.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Some of them were fine. Most of them, though, were either, even the ones that were okay and not, you know, really offensive towards individuals, were very mocking in tone. And, and, no, it's just the way they did it. You know, I mean, they, if the, if the Tea Party had done the same, thing, it would have been, you know, a massacre in the press.
Starting point is 00:45:11 It would have been horrible. And it's just frustrating because they don't even try. You know, there are issues in which the press does what I consider to be a left-leaning job, but an okay job. They're trying to present both sides. They don't present the conservative side fairly, in my opinion, at times, right? This is one. They have abandoned all ideas of journalism.
Starting point is 00:45:33 They have just to said, you know what? We're right on this one. We're not going to allow the other side at all. We're going to squash it at every opportunity with very limited exceptions, and there have been a couple of exceptions, very limited. This is an all-out advocacy campaign. They cannot stop themselves. They want this so badly. They can't help themselves.
Starting point is 00:45:56 They have turned into an absolute left-wing advocacy program for changes in gun control. And they will use, including children, use anything at their own. at their at their at their side they're really hurting themselves by making this by by making this particular shooting as the one that you were supposed to rally around I don't feel this this groundswell I feel a political ground swell for the left that they think that this is going to be so good I don't feel the average person in a groundswell here I do think this is a manufactured a bit by the media. They've tried so hard to turn these kids into celebrities. And again, you've
Starting point is 00:46:40 talked about this from back. Good movements have done this, right? You know, what was it? Was the back of the box? No, no, no. No. If you remember Rosa Parks, right? Wasn't it Rosa Parks? Yes. Correct me from wrong in the history of this. I can't remember the exact interview. She was not the first. She was not the first person who did what Rosa Parks did. But the first person wasn't
Starting point is 00:46:58 as... The first person, I can't remember, may have been a teenage and pregnant, or there was some... There was some issue that they thought that's all they're going to talk about. That's all they're going to talk about. And so, you know, whatever it was, she wasn't, she wasn't the poster child. And so Rosa Parks was not the first to do it. No, but they held up Rosa Parks because she was a great example.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And I think that's what they're trying to do with these kids. But these aren't good examples. No, I mean, the David Hogg thing in particular. He's awful. It's just terrible. He is awful. I think, and Emma, I can't think of her last name, who was another one of the faces of this many. But she looks, she looks angry.
Starting point is 00:47:38 She looks like a revolutionary. I mean, if you're trying to appeal to the, to the revolutionary left, you already got that. You already have those people. Yeah. She's, she's angry. She's better than David Og. Yes. I mean, wearing a Cuban flag on your, and again, you know, you can, there might be, maybe she has, you know, Cuban heritage or whatever.
Starting point is 00:47:58 But still, you don't put a Cuban flag on it. No, if you have Cuban heritage, you definitely don't put a Cuban flag. embrace, you know, that regime and what it's become. And, you know, and I think with her, she's at least a compelling character in some ways. He's like, he reminds me of, you know, because for years and years and years, the left tried really hard to make Ron Reagan happen. Not Ronald Reagan, but the son, Ron Reagan, who was liberal. They tried for years and years and years and years. And I think all conservatives looked at this and like, I get that his last name's Reagan, but you realize he's terrible, right?
Starting point is 00:48:31 You realize he's really bad at this. And for years and years they tried it. He reminds me of his 17-year-old Ron Reagan for some reason. Every time I see this guy, because he's just, you can tell, like, yes, has he read Twitter and seen a lot of left-wing comments about guns? Yeah, like he'll, he doesn't obviously understand him. And people were mocking him like crazy because they have now gone to saying you're going to have opaque or you're going to have clear backpacks going to school when they go back to. Parkland. And he's fighting that because he can't believe that they would infringe on his rights to have a backpack that he can't see through. Now, here's a constitutionally guaranteed right that he's
Starting point is 00:49:12 done nothing but opposed since he's come into the public sphere. And he can't, he can't for safety, have a clear backpack at school. Well, that's too, that's a, that's a step too far for him. Hang on just a second. It's absurd. Hang on just a second. He, maybe it's just because he hasn't heard of the California school idea of a bucket of rocks. I'm sorry? A bucket of rocks? Yes. They care about school safety.
Starting point is 00:49:40 And so they're going to put a 50, you know, little five-gallon bucket right there by the door. And they're going to fill it with rocks. And that way, if anybody comes in, kids get a rock and you're supposed to throw a rock at the guy who comes in with a gun. No. What? No, yeah, that's real. No. No, a bucket of rocks, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:02 What are you? Oh my gosh, do you hate children? I don't hate children. You hate children. You hate children. Because I tweeted, oh, well, that's really great. So they'll have a bucket of rocks in a bucket right there by the door. They just have buckets.
Starting point is 00:50:15 They just have to go get the rock and throw that. Excuse me, sir, I need to get to the bucket. So they have to get to the bucket of rocks and then throw the rocks. And, you know, I tweeted, you know, another logical, I mean, if that's your plan. Why not just a little bucket of little child size coffins there by the door too? Because you could have that. Because I think that will be just about as
Starting point is 00:50:38 effective. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they don't like the... They didn't like that. They didn't like that one. They didn't like that one. But they love the rock idea. I want to get a real quick update from Brandon Gillespie. He is a student at Rockland High. that his teacher was dismissed for a couple of days until it was all sorted it out because she said, you know, if we had a march for life, you know, pro-life, would the schools be okay with it?
Starting point is 00:51:18 So he met with the principal on Friday. And what did you find out, Brandon? Yeah, so I met with my principal on Friday morning and I went in there asking for the exact same accommodations that were. given to the students who held the previous walkout on March 14th. And he was unable to give me a direct answer whether or not I was able to hold a pro-life walkout at my school. So he basically said that, oh, I'm going to have to go and talk to multiple people in the school district about this and stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:56 However, I know that that's not the exact same thing that happened for the previous walkout. He just accepted the request and then they, they were allowed to do it. How do you know that? So, because I've talked to people through that held the previous walkout. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:15 So is there a school policy? I mean, does he have the policy of what that procedure is supposed to be? Can he give that to you? I mean, yes, he did give me some of the school district policy, which includes that students have the right to exercise, freedom of speech and press, including been all limited to the Bulls and Boards and a bunch of stuff on a piece of paper
Starting point is 00:52:41 saying that students cannot be disciplined if they do decide to conduct free speech during the middle of class time or whatever. So he gave me that. However, previous to going into the previous to going into the meeting with him on Friday, I was pretty optimistic about it. However, after meeting with him,
Starting point is 00:53:02 I really don't think that it's going to happen However, I hope I'm wrong. I hope that it does happen because if he does deny my request, it will show the blatant double standard that Ms. Benzel warned us of the other week. Yeah. I wish I was optimistic like you were, but I've never been optimistic on the school allowing you to do something in California that is pro-life. So what are you planning on doing?
Starting point is 00:53:31 When's he getting back to you on this? Yeah, so he said, that, so right now we're on spring break, but he said that he has a meeting on Monday the second, so he said that he's going to be getting back to me on that day. Monday the second, okay, great. We will check back with you then on Tuesday, the third, and find out what he had to say. Thank you so much, Brandon. I appreciate it. All right. Keep it up. Do you see the Fed last week, raised interest rates again? Interest rates going That means you're going to pay more money for your mortgage if you have an adjustable loan.
Starting point is 00:54:16 It also means that you will pay more for your credit card bills. That's really not good. If you have credit card bills and the interest rate goes up, are you going to be able to afford them? Now is the time to consolidate any kind of loan that you might have. Consolidate all of the high debt credit cards. Call American financing, see if they can have. help you with that. It's 1,800-906 2440. I would batten down the hatches as much as you can because the Fed isn't done raising interest rates. And I think they are misjudging things. But,
Starting point is 00:54:55 you know, I think they've been misjudging things for about 20 years now. Maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't know, since about 1913, I think. Anyway, I want you to call American financing. These people work for you. They don't work for the banks. They're going to help you either refi, consolidate, or get a new mortgage for your house. Call 800906 2440. But now is the time to act 800906 2440. It's Americanfinancing.net. American financing corporation NMLS-182334, www. nmLS consumer access.org.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Glenn Beck, Mercury. Glenn Beck. Stu, just in case you didn't... You know, I know you would believe me about the rocks thing. It's actually not in California. I looked it up. It's Blue Mountain School District. This is in Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:55:59 I want you to hear what they're doing in Pennsylvania. And they routinely hold evacuation drills for active shooter simulations. But if a teacher decides to lock down a classroom, there are rocks in a five-gallon bucket kept in every classroom's closet that a student could throw if a shooter gets in. side. And one time I just had the idea of Riverstone. They're the right size for hands.
Starting point is 00:56:18 You can throw them very hard, and they will, uh, they will create or cause pain, which can distract. It's true. I can't disagree with that. So I have to tell you. So I have to tell you. This is actually, as much as I ridicule this, it is actually not an entirely bad idea, uh, to have, you know, rocks or something.
Starting point is 00:56:43 I mean, the best idea is if you're going to. to, if you're going to distract, okay, so distract, but then what? You distract and then rush. Okay. So if you're, if you're going to throw something, it's not a bad idea. Grab whatever is in front of you, but kids go to the go quick, go to the closet and grab the bucket of rocks. What? If you're going to have something, put a rock in everybody's desk or put it, whatever it is,
Starting point is 00:57:09 throw something at it. But then you have to rush them. You can't just throw a rock at the person. No, but if you, yeah, obviously. Obviously, if a bunch of kids, if you walked into a room and 30 kids threw rocks at the same time and rushed him, it probably would end it. It doesn't mean no one's going to get hurt. Right. That being said, though, like, it's being, these things are being mocked.
Starting point is 00:57:26 We should talk about the Rick Santorum moment as well. But the idea that instead of having 330 million guns, you'd have 340 million because it wouldn't affect any previous purchases with a ban. Like, that's going to be better? Like, how is, that, the rock argument is mocked, but that's not? Glenn, back. Mercury. This is the Glenn Beck program. So the rocks were not ridiculed by anybody on the left.
Starting point is 00:58:05 And in fact, defended by many people. Well, what's your solution? Well, okay. I mean, we can talk solutions. We should definitely secure our schools like we do the airport or banks. I mean, my kids are more important to me than what we have at a bank. so we should secure it but we're not talking about that
Starting point is 00:58:26 nobody wants to talk about that I don't want to feel like I'm in a prison I know because I feel like I'm in a prison every time I go into a bank or an airport what are you talking about every time I go to a concert I feel like I'm in a prison no I don't if they act like they're already under incredible amounts of fear from gun violence so why would they all of a sudden be afraid
Starting point is 00:58:44 of security that's such a weird stance there's a lot of them out there right now yeah it's just bizarre it's just bizarre Here's Rick Santorum saying, you know, there are things that we can be doing that our kids could be doing right now in our schools that might help. They didn't like this answer. Much broader discussion than the discussion that's going on right now. How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that?
Starting point is 00:59:18 I would ask you, they took action. Yeah, they took action to ask someone to pass a law. They didn't take action to say, how do I, as an individual, deal with this problem? How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community? What am I going to do to do to actually help respond to a shooter? What am I going to do? Those are the kinds of things where you can take it internally and say, here's how I'm going to deal with this.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Here's how I'm going to help the situation instead of going and protesting and saying, oh, someone else needs to pass a law to protect me. Okay, they don't like that. Nobody likes that. Even the many people on the right don't like that. They want to have somebody else fix it for them. So they don't want to take personal inventory. They don't want to take personal responsibility.
Starting point is 00:59:57 But he's being beat up because his answer to gun violence is take CPR classes. So after everyone gets shot, you can hopefully save a couple of them. How dare he? How do you do that? I mean, if your, if your sheriffs are cowering someplace and they won't let the ambulance service in, it might have been, it might have saved some lives. if the kids knew how to stop bleeding or at least hold pressure down. It may be. Of course, CPR classes are always a good idea.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Whether you're scared of shootings or not. But that is not Rick Santorum's answer to all gun violence. Stop here for a second, though, and look at the other side. I mentioned this briefly before the break. The assault weapons ban would not cut the amount of guns in America. Does anybody understand this? Does David Hogg understand this? Does any 17-year-old, they keep propping up on television,
Starting point is 01:00:45 understand that the solution of an assault weapons ban would not limit the amount of guns in the country. Even assault weapons. Yeah, 330 million assault weapons right now. I mean, weapons overall, give or take, 350, some of the evidence estimates are. So what would happen in this situation? This would not target previous purchases of assault weapons. It would only target future purchases.
Starting point is 01:01:09 So all the assault weapons that already exist, five to 10 million AR-15s, for example, would already, they already exist and would remain on the streets. So that's point one. Point two, as soon as you got close to this and this actually felt like it was really going to happen, everybody who is a gun owner and who ever has thought about buying an AR-15 is going to rush to the store to buy an AR-15. You will not be able to make them fast enough. Real world example of this is our own Pat Gray, who in 2012, after the Sandy Hook thing,
Starting point is 01:01:41 was convinced, as he's talked about on the air, that they're going to come after the AR-15s, they're going to come after their assault weapons, quote-unquote, I know that's a loaded term. And he decided to go to Cabela, as I believe it was, and buy an AR-15. Since then, he's told me, you know, I kind of just wish I bought a different gun,
Starting point is 01:01:59 maybe a handgun or something, because an AR-15, it's not really what I wanted, but I was just, you know, I was worked up over the potential of this going away. Totally rational thought, by the way, because they tried. Right? They tried to get it to go away. if you got close to getting this done,
Starting point is 01:02:14 people would buy millions of these guns so there'd be even more assault weapons out there. In addition to that, an assault weapon costs what? $2,000. Again, assault weapon, I keep using it, but AR-15, whatever weapons you're going to ban. It's got to cost, what, $2,000? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:29 $1,800? Yeah. Right? What does a handgun cost? 600. $600? $400? I mean, I've seen them for even less.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Right? If you're going to buy one AR-15 and you go to the gun store and you have $2,000, you're going to spend in an AR-15, you're going to walk in there and spend $500 on a handgun. What are you going to do? You're probably going to buy two. You might buy three. You could buy four for the same amount of money.
Starting point is 01:02:51 So that's going to get even more guns on the street. Likely what you'd see is a large increase in the amount of firearm ownership. Guarantee you would. Guarantee you would. So what is a more insane idea that you take steps on your own to try to improve your reaction, maybe take these courses that they've talked about, You know, even Sandy Hill promises.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Secure the schools. Do those things that you can do. And CPR is a good idea all the time. But, you know, would it affect this as well? Sure. Rocks aren't a bad idea. If that's not your only, your only idea. We have a constantly praised movement.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Hundreds of thousands of people around the country marching for something that would actually likely increase the amount of guns in the United States. And we're supposed to act like that's. going to be a solution to this problem. It's completely bonkers. And there's not one point of criticism, one point of pushback on any of these ideas.
Starting point is 01:03:52 It really is amazing. Because the idea is you start here. You just need to start here. It's just step one of a long time solution, which will end in what they really want, which is no Second Amendment and no guns on the streets. for people to actually use in their defense, for hunting,
Starting point is 01:04:13 for push back on a tyrannical government, whatever you believe you want to use your gun for in a certain circumstance. They want them all gone, obviously. So Jeff Greenfield wrote a pretty remarkable article in Politico this weekend that was called how Hollywood, how the Hollywood hit movie that urged FDR to become a fascist was received. And it's,
Starting point is 01:04:39 it is he says a mostly forgotten film well yeah it is forgotten especially by the left because they you know they don't they don't ever want to be called a fascist now remember the idea of progressivism is to transform your country from a constitutionally restrained government to something where we can just get it done because somebody's got to do something Well, that was fascism, totalitarianism, communism. Well, those were discredited in the 1930s. And so now you didn't want to have a dictator because, well, that would be a bad thing. But they never gave up on the policies.
Starting point is 01:05:23 They just don't know what to name it. But here is a quote. Now, this is a film, big critical success. It was financed by William Randolph Hearst. It was critically acclaimed and say, And successful at the box office. It is about a president who is a bad guy being controlled by the parties. And then he's hit by a car or he's in a car accident and he's in bed.
Starting point is 01:05:54 He's dying. But you see a light coming through the window and then that light travels to him. And it is called Gabriel over the White House because as his secretary once says in the movie, I think the angel Gabriel came and possessed him. And that's why he's so remarkable. They're calling for his impeachment, about halfway through, because he's starting just to take things into his own hands.
Starting point is 01:06:20 So you're going to hear at the beginning, a senator calling for impeachment, and then it's going to get quiet, and everybody's going to respect the president. They're going to stand up, and he walks to the podium, and listen to this Hollywood speech. Speak for the majority of the Senate and the House of Representatives,
Starting point is 01:06:44 assured that President have, has been a traitor to his party, false to the principles on which he was elected. I propose to demand from the House the impeachment, the immediate removal of the President of the United States. Now, here comes the President. He just walks in. The President of the United States. May the rules be suspended? I would like to dispense with all red tape so I can answer questions directly. while I have the floor. Unless there is objection,
Starting point is 01:07:27 the rules of this Congress will be suspended. Gentlemen, I am here as a representative of the American people, and there are of darkest despair. A plant cannot be made to grow by watering the top alone and letting the roots go dry. The people of this country are the roots of the nation and the sturdy trunk and the branches, too. You have spent $4 billion only to aggravate adversity.
Starting point is 01:07:50 I ask for $4 billion, to restore buying power, stimulate purchases, restore prosperity. You have wasted precious days and weeks and years in futile discussion. We need action, immediate and effective action. Mr. President, there is a movement in Congress for your impeachment. Hardly time for making any requests, however small. Very well. I shall withdraw that request, but I would like to substitute another.
Starting point is 01:08:20 I ask you, gentlemen, to declare a state of national emergency. And to adjourn this Congress until normal conditions are restored. During the period of that adjournment, I shall assume full responsibility for the government. Mr. President, this is dictatorship. Senator Langham, words do not frighten me. But the United States of America is a democracy. We are not yet ready to give up the government of our power. You have given it up.
Starting point is 01:09:02 You've turned your backs. you've closed your ears to the appeals of the people. You've been traitors to the concepts of democracy upon which this government was founded. I believe in democracy, as Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln believed in democracy. And of what I plan to do in the name of the people makes me a dictator.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Then it is a dictatorship based on Jefferson's definition of democracy, a government for the greatest good of the greatest number. This Congress refuses. to adjourn. I think, gentlemen, you forget that I am still the president of these United States. And as commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy, it is within the rights of the president to declare the country under martial law. Now, in this movie, he's treated as a hero. He fixes everything, of course, but he fires everybody and suspends everything. Now, this is in 1933. If you read the Jeff Greenfield story this weekend about this, you heard only half the story because I have
Starting point is 01:10:11 the other half of the story that I'm going to show you tonight on television. There were only, there were 12 copies of this book made. They were made for FDR and his cabinet. And the 12, copies, there's only two left. One is this one. The other is in the National Archives. Wow. And it is 1936 recovery and re-election or radicalism. And when you read it and it's all done with by hand with color charts and everything else, you will see recovery or radicalism, a new civilization in the making. And pretty much they're calling exactly for what this movie was calling for. plant the seeds, let it grow,
Starting point is 01:11:03 and then pass the legislation to get it done. So there's a little chicken and the egg thing going on here because the way the story was written about this this weekend was Hollywood trying to convince the president to become a dictator. Right. You're saying that maybe there's some evidence here that it was FDR. FDR was totally fine with becoming a dictator. in that story, he mentions Walter Lipman.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Read Walter Lipman from the time of Woodrow Wilson. They had been trying to do that to make the president a dictator since the time of Woodrow Wilson. This was to water the roots to get them to go, yeah, see, look, it can be done. This is the actual evidence that they were trying to do it three years later. So it can't happen here? Oh, no, it can. And it almost did. We'll give that to you tonight.
Starting point is 01:12:02 5 o'clock only on the blaze.com slash TV. From hurricanes to cyber warfare to terror to riots, you name it. I mean, we need to plan for an emergency. Because we're going to have an emergency at some point. And we've just seen FEMA. They had a FEMA come out and say that they can't provide proper emergency management. if the next big event happens, they're not prepared. And so they said, this is right before Christmas,
Starting point is 01:12:36 that every American needs to be prepared to take care of themselves. Well, the best place to start is storing food. It lasts up to 25 years. Now, it's really, I used to think it was really hard. It's really daunting to think, okay, how do I do this? Then I found my Patriot Supply. My Patriot Supply, everyone in your household, this week and this week only, can get a four-week
Starting point is 01:12:58 emergency food kit for only $99 each. They're shipped free discreetly to your door.

Go to prepare with glen.com or call 800, 200,771.63. Four-week emergency food supply this week only, $99, only from my Patriot Supply.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Prepare with glen.com. Glenn Beck, Mercury. Glenn, Beck. It's amazing to read this, this radicalism or recovery book that was outlined. Only 12 copies were printed and made. Only two exist. One I have, the others in the National Archives. And they were only made for a select group of people that were trying to convince the president that you needed to spend a lot more money because dictatorship is on the way.
Starting point is 01:14:19 And I love this. And they're crazy people out there who just want to be the dictator of the United States. And you're the only one, Mr. President, with the personality and the know-how to be able to do that and navigate. So we need to give you some more control. We need to give you some more money so you can direct to have recovery happen quickly. It's an amazing thing. We'll try to get into it a little bit here before we leave radio today. Coming up next hour.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Glenn, back. Mercury. Courage. Truth. Defenders of Islam in the Middle East will claim that the Quran prohibits forced marriage. They'll say yes, yes. It allows arranged marriage. of children, sure, as long as they consent.
Starting point is 01:15:17 By the way, consent includes silence. Silence counts as consent. In reality, forced marriage is sewn into the culture of many Islamic communities. Here in America as well, Mohammed married a six-year-old, consummated the marriage when the girl was nine. In Islam, the girl's father and the husband determined when the girl is ready for consummation. And of course, everybody knows, you know, nine. That's a good, that's pretty much a good, good year. It's happening now in America last year to Iraqi immigrants in Texas, San Antonio,
Starting point is 01:15:52 allegedly arranged for a grown man to marry their 15-year-old daughter. The man would pay them $20,000 and take his bride to a new city in Texas. When the girl protested, her parents choked her, choked her until she passed out. When she woke up, she would not. be silenced so they beat her with broomsticks then they threw scalding oil onto her body in january she just vanished some people worried about her some people racist bigots worried that maybe her parents had murdered her for a so-called honor killing well earlier this month the girl reappeared she and her five siblings now are in the
Starting point is 01:16:39 custody of child protective services and their parents were hauled off to jail as police led them past a huddle of journalist her father yelled blaming his daughter for everything of course the mainstream media has largely ignored this story ignored the girls protests in favor of a narrative that views muslims as supreme victims or harmless peaceful sages some that's true others not so much We need to be able to tell the difference between them. The campus feminists and all the Hollywood celebrities who rant about consent and women's rights, where are you on this? I'm listening.
Starting point is 01:17:22 No rallies, no hashtags, not even a mention. I thought you believed in women's rights. I thought you believed in consent. I thought you believed that men should not dominate women. Are you going to stand up? Me Too movement? Are you going to stand up for this young girl's rights? Will campus feminists like Linda Sarsour and feminist Beyonce rally in her name?
Starting point is 01:17:51 Will anyone protest and march for her and the other girls and women who live in silence taking the beatings every single day? When will we see a march? American feminists, shame on you. You're some of the most privileged people on earth. When will you stand up for actual rights of women? Sadly, it doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon because that's not what that movement is all about. They're not actually about rights for women.
Starting point is 01:18:31 They're about power and control and elections. Who knows? Maybe, maybe someone will come up with a hashtag to make the terrors of Islam trendy enough for progressives to care about, but I doubt it. They're too busy with their hatred of conservatives. They're too busy with their hatred for Christians. They're too busy denying basic biology. It's Monday, March 26th. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 01:19:10 So we have a couple of things here. Stu, choose your news. You ready? I'm ready. Power use rises during Earth Hour for first time. I like that one. That's pretty solid. Mother crashes car into pole to prove God is real to children. They're both good.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Choose your news. I need to know how crashing your car into a pole proves anything about God. You can't do the math on that? No, yeah, no, I cannot. police say a mother intentionally crashed her SUV into a pole to prove to her two small children that God is real. Investigators, did the investigators investigate why that would prove that God was real? That's what I'm. No, they just wanted to find out what the accident was caused by.
Starting point is 01:20:06 And the children told the investigator that mom did it on top. purpose to show them that if they believe, God would protect them. So would protect them from the pole or protect them from surviving the crash with the pole? Are you not a believer? No, I think I am, but maybe I'm not, maybe not enough, apparently. Yeah, you, because I've never crashed. I've never intentionally crashed a car into a pole. God will save you from anything.
Starting point is 01:20:36 Well, because it's weird because it seems like God, like a big part of Christianity is what happens after you die. So I don't think he's necessarily saving you from an earth. a earthly situation every time. The point is that there's something deeper than that. Let me ask you this. Are you a believer or not? Yes, I am.
Starting point is 01:20:53 Okay, good. Would you bring in the flamethrower? Because God will save you from that if you believe. And if you don't believe, you didn't believe enough. I mean, if you burned to a crisp, you didn't believe enough. So what you're saying is if I float, you're a witch. But if I drown, I'm not a witch. and therefore cleared from that crime.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Correct. That's a wonderful. So if you believe you, I can't burn you to death. Bring the flame throw in. Sitting in the car, her children explained what happened before the crash. The officer said, do you think she did it on purpose? Yeah, said the seven-year-old. Because she turned, her eyes were closed, and she was saying, blah, blah, blah, I love God.
Starting point is 01:21:45 said one daughter. She didn't want us to have a car accident. She just wanted us to know that God is real. But again, why would that prove that God is real? That she crashed into a poll. Like I can understand saying, I'm going to close my eyes and I'm going to navigate this street and not run into a pole because God's going to guide me.
Starting point is 01:22:05 I can understand that logic. I don't know. I don't think it's a good idea. I don't know if she had that God is my co-pilot sticker. So, I mean, if she had. Like, Jesus takes the wheel. Like I could get, at least there's a sense to. that, that theoretically it would make sense.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Again, I would not recommend it right now. If you're in your car, don't let Jesus take the wheel. He wants you to drive your car. I'm pretty sure that's true. I think, but maybe it's that I'm not a big enough believer. Boy, is she saying that God will help me navigate the streets and then she ran into a poll, therefore disproving God? Or is she saying, hey, I'm going to crash this poll.
Starting point is 01:22:40 Did they all walk away? I don't know. You haven't included that detail. No one was heard in the act. Accident. Officer said it could have been much, much worse. I'm quoting, could have been a lot worse. Could have been heavier traffic at the time.
Starting point is 01:22:53 She could have hit the pole at such an angle that she did more damage to the car, but she didn't. You know why? God was her co-pilot. Okay. So God navigated her into a lesser impact collision. Yes. I'm fine with that.
Starting point is 01:23:08 Oh, there you go. Yeah, I'm fine with that. I mean, I protected the kids, even though the parents are dummy. What was the thing about, you know, don't tempt the Lord. Don't, you know, you're not supposed to taunt? He certainly shouldn't taunt him. Yeah, you're not supposed to say, hey, Lord, I'll give you this. You do this.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Hey, what on a, you know what, I'm really, really hungry here out in this desert. Why don't you just turn this into a nice meal for me? The sand. Yeah, just so I can show you a magic trick. So I can show my friend over here, who I don't think actually is your friend, mine, but I just want to show him that you're real. So I'm going to fly off of this cliff. No, God doesn't do that and he doesn't want you to do that.
Starting point is 01:23:51 That's a bad idea. I mean, perhaps she didn't have a deep doctrinal understanding of the scriptures. Perhaps. Perhaps. But the kids are going to learn a lesson about God. They're never going to forget. They won't. They will remember that one.
Starting point is 01:24:07 I don't know if it works out well, but they will remember the lesson. You know what, put this in your calendar. put this in your calendar for about 10 years because the 7 year old be 17 and let's see if we can find her in 10 years because I'd like to say hey that whole thing with your mom I know we're the only ones to remember it
Starting point is 01:24:26 but how do that work out? We put this in the calendar. How are you doing now? What do you think about God? I think pretty well is the understanding that I would have. Story number two. Power rises in British Columbia
Starting point is 01:24:40 during Earth Hour. Despite their best intentions, British Columbians increased their power use during Earth Hour for the first time in a decade. BC hydroelectric says electricity use in the province rose 0.2% from 830 to 930 Saturday night compared to the same hour the week before. Earth Hour is an annual World Wildlife Fund event
Starting point is 01:25:07 that encourages people across the globe to turn off their light, for one hour to draw attention to climate change. That used to be global warming. Now it's just climate change. But let's remember, it used to be global warming. Why did they change it? Let me read the story, the rest of the story. The increase in electricity is probably due to declining participation.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Also, colder weather in many parts of the province. in BC Hydro Report published this month, the Crown Corporation said 7 in 10 survey respondents said they did plan on participating in Earth Hour this year. But the Crown Corporation says it also marks the fifth year in a trend of declining participation in the province. So when you call people up and you survey, seven out of 10 are like, oh my gosh, yeah, recycle.
Starting point is 01:26:00 Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And turn off my lights? You bet. Turn down the air conditioning? Oh, my gosh. I don't we're thinking about getting rid of our air conditioning. Soon as they hang up the phone and they stop the survey.
Starting point is 01:26:13 Oh man. They are they're making plastic in their home. They're making styrofoam and burying it out around their yard just because it'll never, you know, you got to just bury it all around. So we can't we don't we don't want it all in one place. Barry it all around and they're doing it with a like a like a window air conditioner strapped to their back. So they don't get hot. Right. But they'll tell you they're all into it.
Starting point is 01:26:38 Everybody loves the environment until it affects their life in any way. You know, as soon as there's a moment they have to lose any of their niceties in life, they abandoned it. This is one of the issues that the environmental movement is really having in that they are trying to figure out ways to tell people, hey, you're involved, right? You're doing something. What you need to do is little steps. Little steps will help.
Starting point is 01:27:05 Now we all know little steps won't help. We've talked about this. Little steps do help. They don't help at all. Yes, they do. They do not help at all. They do. They do.
Starting point is 01:27:13 I will tell you why they don't. I will tell you why they do. Sure, let me start. Number one, hey, you guys should drive less. You should buy a hybrid. You should blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. If you turned off, turned off every car and never let any of them run again, you would save about, this is cars and trucks, by the way,
Starting point is 01:27:32 the entire transportation sector, if you turned it, off tomorrow in the United States, you would save about 20% of our emissions. You'd say, well, that's a big deal. Now, it would still have 80% of your emissions still going. However, you'd save about 20% of the emissions.
Starting point is 01:27:49 The problem with that, of course, is that the United States is only about 20% of global emissions. So you'd really, turning off the number one industrialized transportation sector in the world would save you about 4 or 5% of global emissions. Global emissions grow
Starting point is 01:28:05 between 2 or 3% per year. So you'd save yourself a couple of years if you turned off every motorized vehicle in the United States. That is not what they're asking you to do, right? No one's saying you should drive anymore because they know no one can do that.
Starting point is 01:28:20 They're saying, well, you should get a more fuel-efficient car. You should... You know what you need to do is you need to unplug those plugged in appliances when you're not using them? none of this does anything, which is why they constantly express these statistics in things like cars taken off the road
Starting point is 01:28:42 or, you know, certain amounts of trees. This is the equivalent of planting four million trees. You know why they say it though? Because million sounds high, but it means nothing, nothing. Are you done? I am done. Now, you're going to tell me why little things do make a difference.
Starting point is 01:29:00 Little steps. Little steps. I want you to hear me out. Okay. Okay. You sure. Yeah. I owed that to you after you took my point very seriously.
Starting point is 01:29:07 I did. I did. I listened to the whole thing. It was riveting. So you have a baby. They come out. They pee and poop all over everything. Yes.
Starting point is 01:29:19 They do tend to do that. You take the little step of putting a diaper on that child. Because telling the child, hey, go to the potty. Go go into the bathroom and sit on the crapper over there. Baby doesn't understand it. So you first. You first put the diaper on. Then you start to potty train them.
Starting point is 01:29:38 And after like, I don't know, 14 years, they start to go crap where they're supposed to go crap. But those little steps helped me all the way so I wasn't cleaning up crap. If I just wanted the big step, I'd have crap all over my house. Yeah. The diaper is not a little step. It's a miracle invention. And let me tell you something else. Big steps are even better.
Starting point is 01:29:59 When they're running to the potty, big. steps are better, little steps help. Just saying. Did you let me... No, wait a minute. You said you would hear me out. I did. I did. Now, all of those diapers are not exactly helping with the planet. No.
Starting point is 01:30:15 But that's a completely different story. The IRS released their annual dirty dozen list of tax scams and phone scans, the top of the list. The most common scam. Somebody calling the house posing as an IRS representative. Telling people that you owe money and you have to pay, otherwise you're going to get a punishment, including arrest, and we're on the way. So you better make that payment now. The other scams on the list peak during tax season, just as nasty.
Starting point is 01:30:51 Somebody either writing you or calling you and saying, you're in trouble with the IRS. Don't believe them.

Starting point is 01:32:09 Justice, you're obviously a very important figure in our country. Well, you know about scrunchies. Right. Exactly. That's an interesting point. bring up because Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked about scrunchies. Yeah, she says the best place to buy scrunchies. I don't remember the order, but it was Greece, Rome, and London. I think you're...
Starting point is 01:32:28 That's where I get all of my scrunchies. Right. And my daughter goes, she's like, I'd need a scrunchy. I'm like, oh, geez, we've got to go to Greece again. I told you to get more than one. So that's an interesting question. Yeah. It seems like, and this is just a general perception of mine, and we need to fact check this.
Starting point is 01:32:43 Sure. It seems like if you're a left-wing justice, you have this sort of treatment where they'll ask you about scrunchies when you do interviews. No, that was a really good article. It went on and on and on and on and on about what a, what a, what an icon of,
Starting point is 01:32:58 of accessories she is. And then on the other side, if you're a conservative justice, you're just pretty much asked how much of a racist you are. Right. You're obviously a racist, Clarence Thomas, but how much of a racist are you? Yeah, sure. So Ruth Bader Ginsburg was on,
Starting point is 01:33:14 this one was on Colbert's. show. And he said, I was told not to ask about any pending cases before the court, but I had to ask about one. Is a hot dog a sandwich? Is a hot dog a sandwich? She said, you tell me what a sandwich is and I'll tell you if a hot dog is a sandwich. Again, like this is typical legalese. Like you can't even just answer the question. Colbert described the sandwich as two pieces of bread with almost any type of filling in between as long as it's not more bread. Would you agree with that definition of a sandwich? I mean, as I kind of largely. Yeah. You said two pieces of of bread, does that include a roll that's cut
Starting point is 01:33:48 open, but still not completely? So, her answer here was, is a hot dog a sandwich? And she said, hot dogs are sandwiches. Do you agree with that analysis? What's she wearing a scrunchy from grease? I don't know. This is important, though, because if you can put,
Starting point is 01:34:06 if a hot dog is a sandwich, you're going to need to have a slice, like you have a slice of cheese you put on a sandwich typically, right? That's why it's important to know. Unless you're allergic to, you know, dairy, products. This is not an all-inclusive point I'm making here. Was the bread made in a factory where nuts were also processed?
Starting point is 01:34:24 I don't know. I don't know. That's a really important thing. I will address the lactose intolerant side of this in just a moment. And the peanut people, please. There's a new Kickstarter project. It is called slice of sauce. And what they are trying to do is solve the
Starting point is 01:34:42 idea that ketchup is sort of messy when you put it on your burger or your sandwich. So is it like a pat of butter? It is a slice, like a slice of cheese made out of ketchup. Like you unwrap it from a plastic container and place it on top. What kind of
Starting point is 01:34:57 creepy plastic did they have to melt in the ketchup to get that to happen? It's capitalism, baby. No, it's plastics, Stu. It's plastic. Glenn, back. Mercury. You're listening to the
Starting point is 01:35:20 Glenn Beck program. Bloodthirsty Pat Gray is with us now. Who is, he loves to kill children. Well, I hate children. You do hate children. Yes. You have a lot of them, so you have a reason to hate them. I do. That's true. I mean, he's had it. I mean, you know. And I've tried
Starting point is 01:35:36 to keep them as unsafe as humanly possible. Right. Right. Because anyone can have one child and dislike that one child and think, okay, that's it. I hate all children. But you went to extra length. You had multiple children. Yes. And you hate all of them. Yes. That's the extent. to which my hatred goes
Starting point is 01:35:51 is that I had children just to hate them. This is weird. I used to tell them to go and play in the gun range. Oh, really? Really? Yeah. I said the best place to do it
Starting point is 01:36:01 is between where the people are shooting and the target in front of them. Wow, because that's a dangerous spot. He would just say right there on the grassy knoll. He would say, because I've shot with Pat and I tried to explain. Now that's not the best place,
Starting point is 01:36:19 But he would say, no, no, just right there and wear camouflage. So if, you know, if their backdrop was like, you know, brick or something, he dressed as kids as bricks. Yeah. And they would play. You lost how many kids that way? 14. It was sad. No.
Starting point is 01:36:37 Well, it's not sad for you because you don't like them. Right. Right. And that's what I learned from the Washington Post today, by the way. This is all based on a real pretty horrific quote they have from it. I can't believe you said this because this is bad. And the bigger issue is, you know, this is a, the top video on YouTube when it comes to David Hogg is Pat Gray. He's talking about David Hogg and trying to, I guess, expose a side of David Hogg and people haven't seen.
Starting point is 01:37:05 And the fact that you would take the entire time of the video for one little quote that doesn't, it didn't cover any of your arguments about it. I know, they put up four minutes and the only thing I said during that whole time was, dare I say it even? Yeah, I mean. I guess. Stations. Stations. Just no. Have your finger on the button.
Starting point is 01:37:23 And this company, the affiliates, me, my grandchildren, my ancestors do not agree, necessarily agree with the following opinion. Quote, and I'm quoting myself now. It's hard not to just go after this kid, unquote. Oh, my gosh. Now, around that was something about his arrogance. and his incendiary rhetoric and the fact that he doesn't know what he's talking about makes it, quote, hard not to just go after this kid.
Starting point is 01:37:59 So what you're indicating there is you're not actually going after. Not actually going after him. I'm just saying it's hard. You're resisting doing it, despite the fact. Shooting him. No, no, no, no. No, that's what I heard. He says hard not to go after.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Just saying things about him. How do I know you're just saying that? How do I know you're meaning that metaphorically and not literally going after this kid? Probably just going to have to take my word. Do you own an AR? Do you own an AR? No, I gave that to the military. I told you that a long time ago.
Starting point is 01:38:25 Remember? I donated all my weapons to the military. Did you get a receipt for that? I didn't. I didn't even ask them for one. I didn't care. I trust them. And it wasn't for the tax write-off anyway.
Starting point is 01:38:37 It was just because they'd experienced some cuts under Obama. And I said, I want you to have this gun. And the Glock I just bought. And I gave it. You gave them both to them. them. But if you just bought it, how did you donate it to the when the Obama administration was... Well, I mean, it was just at that time.
Starting point is 01:38:53 I had just purchased it when I gave it away. That is actually, this is an actual quote from this article. May I just say, this is how the Washington Post is just fake media. They'll say he was lying and making that up. Right. And he actually still has the Glock and the AR. Yeah, they will. That's fake news. But in all seriousness, this has been Pat's issue.
Starting point is 01:39:17 since the shooting, which has been to make sure... Since the shooting. Since they started talking about the shooting. That's different than the shooting. Thank you for that incredible clarification. Well, I just wanted to make sure that people didn't know. I wanted to make sure for the Washington Post that they didn't think, as the shooting was going on, Pat's not saying, man, it's hard to not go after these kids.
Starting point is 01:39:39 No, but Pat has been on this show, one of the largest radio shows in America every day. Pat hosts Pat Unleashed for three hours every day and has talked. talked about this extensively. Pat appears on the news and why it matters on the blaze every single day and talks about this issue as well. There are hours and hours and hours of nuance and points and backing up of those points and arguing the other sides of those points that I have heard you personally make that Washington Post links to one video that has been edited and takes one quote in which you make none of the arguments. We don't make any of the points. There's none of the nuance. I understand they can't include every.
Starting point is 01:40:17 point you've ever made. Right. But these nine words, those are the most relevant? Unreal. It's crazy. It's unreal. It's just crazy. And, you know, I mean, if that sit down in his dining room or wherever that was and his F-bomb-laced tirade
Starting point is 01:40:33 against the NRA and how everybody's got blood on their hands and splattered blood from children on their faces and all that kind of stuff, if that doesn't show you that these kids are somewhat difficult to love, unless you're a left-wing, nut job who enjoys 17-year-old kids making
Starting point is 01:40:51 a gun policy and setting fire to the Second Amendment. I mean, it's not that... It makes them difficult to love? For me, yes. That makes them difficult to love. There's another quote. It makes them all these things make them difficult to love. Not that I don't love them.
Starting point is 01:41:08 It's just difficult at times. Right. Because, I mean, look, if you were hiring at a fast food restaurant, you're hiring at hearties and a 17 year old comes in, ambitious for a job, and comes in and starts dropping F bombs all throughout the interview. Does he get that job? No. No. Yes. Maybe he does. Mr. Washington Post. You're just being contrary to it. No, he's a victim. He's a victim. Well, there are a lot of victims of mass shootings. And so I guess your point there is that we need to listen to them, right? But you need to listen to the victim. You can't
Starting point is 01:41:40 criticize a victim of a mass shooting. We can all agree on that. Correct. I agree on that. Which is interesting because I was just going through the internet and seeing a lot of criticism for Jesse Hughes, who is the lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal. You may remember him from the band that was on the stage in the parachute where 89 people were killed, including his manager. Horrific gun violence. No, no, he was the reason all those people were there.
Starting point is 01:42:09 Well, that's the way to twist that. None of those people would have been killed if he wouldn't have been on stage. he holds a great deal of responsibility. So this is the second worst mass shooting in history. Now again, there's an asterisk on that. All of the 100,000 worst mass shootings in history are from the government against its unarmed citizens. But if you take all of those out,
Starting point is 01:42:32 you get Norway number one, and I believe Paris number two for the worst ever. None of those locations in the United States, by the way, just point that out. But here is what he said, he said, obviously the best thing to do to combat chronic abusers and disregarders of the law like the law against murder
Starting point is 01:42:48 is to pass another law. Genius. But before we pass this law, we're going to denigrate the memory and curse ourselves by exploiting the death of 16 of our fellow students for a few Facebook likes and some media attention. And look how well civil rights abuses, how well civil rights abuses as it concerns to firearms
Starting point is 01:43:05 helped protect me and my friends in Paris. Wow. This almost sounds like the plan of like a kid or maybe like a high school student. Oh, wait, that's right. The Whitney Houston song about letting the children lead the way wasn't actually an operating paradigm for life. That's one of the greatest lives of all time.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Wow. And it goes on and on and on. And yet, he lured people into that trap. Into their own death. Into an ambush. Yes. He lured them in like the pine piper. Yes, he did.
Starting point is 01:43:39 And by the way, again, how, look, David Hogg is any normal person, even if you believe in gun control, it's going to say that he's been inappropriate at times, right? Some of the signs we went over with our... Extremely appropriate. Marco Rubio is a kid killer. I mean, there's all sorts of stuff that's completely over the line here.
Starting point is 01:43:55 But he's received almost no criticism from anyone. You can't criticize him. This is the paragraph that leads in to the quotes I just gave you from Paste magazine. If you can bear to stomach it, the entirety of Hughes's rant is below. The life-altering horror of what Hughes endured and witness in Paris cannot be overstated, which is why casting shame on the young survivors of another mass shooting seems debased even for him.
Starting point is 01:44:21 I mean, he's getting, of course, the criticism in pushback that David Hogg would never receive. Right. And, you know, look, I think his points are pretty good. His points are great, frankly. At least the ones that we went over there. I mean, you can't solve these things by passing new laws. Paris has gun laws that the gun control, that David Hogg would dream about passing in the United States. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:43 And here it is the second worst mass shooting of all time, despite all the others. I noticed you guys are avoiding the real issue. What is it with you today? I noticed that neither of you want to talk about the real issue. Which is. Well, I wasn't going to mention the Stormy Daniels thing at all because I watched it last night. I don't think there was anything new there. The only thing knew was it was just a one-off.
Starting point is 01:45:04 Yeah, one-night stand. I didn't know that. I thought it was a six-month thing. So it's better. It's better. It's better than I thought it was. I mean, the threat is there. The threat is there.
Starting point is 01:45:15 That's a new thing. Yeah, but they kind of leaked that last week, so we already knew about that. But what a nebulous threat that is. I mean, it's impossible to prove if that ever happened. It's impossible to prove it. But it's not nebulous if someone leans in your car and says, oh, it's a beautiful daughter. No, no. I mean, if the threat happened, it's ugly and terrible.
Starting point is 01:45:33 But I just, I have my doubts that it happened. But Cohen has said similar things on the record to reporters. Well, true. This is the MO. Yeah, I mean, he did that. He said he would make their lives a living hell. You'll wish you were never born. All right.
Starting point is 01:45:48 So that's what he does. Just just hear me out on something. What was the thing? Because I read a headline. I did not read the news because I don't care. I read a headline today. Donald Trump outraged by the TV show last night, 60 minutes. Really?
Starting point is 01:46:04 Was he? There was one line. Did you watch it? The TV show. Yeah. 60 minutes. Yeah. So there was one thing that was said.
Starting point is 01:46:13 that I think was just to piss him, just to get him on Twitter. And he didn't do it. I was proud of him. He didn't do it. What was it? What was the one thing that was said last night that was just like,
Starting point is 01:46:26 this will make him move? Has to be that she didn't. She didn't find him attractive. Yes. Yes. Yeah, that stuck out to me immediately. That was just sad. That would have pissed him off badly.
Starting point is 01:46:39 That pissed him off. Oh, yeah. And they're trying to get him to move. Now, here's the latest. Do we have the audio of the, yeah, here it is. Is there anything left out of her interview, something on the cutting room floor, that you feel is relevant and could share now? Not that I'm prepared to share now, but what I will say is that she was prepared to discuss intimate details relating to Mr. Trump.
Starting point is 01:47:03 She can describe his genitalia. She can describe various conversations that they had that leave no doubt as to whether this woman is telling the truth. And if she's not telling the truth, let the president take to the podium and call her a liar. Let the president come forward and say it never happened. There is a reason why this $130,000 was paid. And it wasn't paid because she made the story up. It's absurd. So she can pick his wiener out of a lineup.
Starting point is 01:47:31 Is that what we're led to believe? Can you get them to do that? Now, that would be interesting, wouldn't it? Yeah, no, that would be. Well, they did that to Michael Jackson. They did, yeah. He had to pull down his pants. It's the only weiner test I have ever heard of.
Starting point is 01:47:46 Yeah. Yeah. This is just an effort to taunt Trump into responding. I think if he said she could describe and she's like, it isn't very big, then you know she's just doing this to. Oh, man. Yeah, she's just doing this to taunt him. To taunt him. And so far, he responded in a generalized way a little bit on Twitter saying that like,
Starting point is 01:48:06 there's a lot of fake news out there more than ever, but the country's doing great. But he has not addressed it directly. And this is all Stormy Daniels and his attorney are trying to get done. That's all they want to do. That's all they want to do. Just trying. She didn't really like him. He's not very attractive. He's not good with women.
Starting point is 01:48:22 He's going to, well, no. He doesn't have a lot of money. He told me he didn't have a lot of money either. Everything they try to set him out. By the way, my Twitter handle is. Pat Grand Leash, if you want to hear some more bashing of innocent children for sport. He's actually, he's actually bloodlething. him.
Starting point is 01:48:45 Oh, really? And then making matza out of their blood. I've read that in a book. I didn't know Pat did that as well. Yeah. He just does it for sport.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Yeah, that's what he said. Right. It's hard just not to do it for sport. That's right. Yeah. He'll be joined with Dana too. She's going to be eating the matza.
Starting point is 01:49:00 Anyway, I want to talk about a new sponsor. New sponsor that we have. I want to tell you, I love the story of filter buying. Here's the thing. David is right after, I think it was 2013, and his father and grandfather had built a, built a company down, I think it was in Alabama.
Starting point is 01:49:28 And they knew that the company was just not going to, I mean, it was a textile company. And so he was going under and the whole town worked at this textile company. So he went in and he thought, what can you? we do to keep the business open? What can we do to breathe in new life? Well, they not only breathe in new life to it, they have expanded, and it's unbelievable what they did. Because of 2008, it was decimated. And so they went into the air filter market. I don't know when the last time was you changed your air filter, but you need to change them quite a bit. And they're a hassle, and you've got to go to the store and everything else. You don't have to do it this way. You can just
Starting point is 01:50:09 buy a one-off. You can just go to filter by. And, And within 24 hours, they will have the filter there. And all you have to do is just, you know, exchange the filter. And then you're done. You don't have to go to Home Depot or whatever. You can have it. So it comes every, you know, three months or six months or whatever you choose. And that way it reminds you because I forget about my hair filters.
Starting point is 01:50:29 You could say if I had to remember myself, I would have changed them since I lived here because I would have forgotten. Anyway, 600 sizes available, including custom options. you're going to find the best filter for your home for your business. It's filter by, filter B-U-Y.com. Filter-by.com. Go there now. Grab your filter, auto delivery with filterby.com. Glenn Beck, Mercury.
Starting point is 01:51:10 Glenn Beck. I want to play something from CNN. This is as close as you got to fare. Alison Camerata on CNN tries to defend Rubio but she can't really bring herself entirely there. Listen. I mean, look, I'm not a Marco Rubio spokesperson,
Starting point is 01:51:28 but now that I've heard what he's doing behind the scenes, he is sponsoring all of these various bills, two of which were part of the omnibus, and so things are happening. And all I'm suggesting is that maybe your ire is misplaced, you know, since he is actually trying to work across the aisle. Yeah, I think it's a great step that he's trying to work across the aisle. But I think so long as he's supported by the NRA, no matter what he does, there's always going to be loopholes in anything that he does.
Starting point is 01:51:56 Because we've seen again and again, we've passed gun legislation in this country. And at the end of the day, you can pass as many laws as you want. But if those laws are not very strong and they have so many loopholes that the NRA works so hard to ensure that they have. Or they're not enforced. They aren't going to be strong. Or they're not enforced. Why not enforce the laws? Glenn, back. Mercury.
