The Glenn Beck Program - The SCARIEST Haunted House and Why It SHOULDN’T Be Banned | Guests: Russ McKamey, Bill O’Reilly, & Megan Phelps-Roper | 11/1/19

Episode Date: November 1, 2019

McKamey Manor is so intense that it requires a 40-page waiver and a safe phrase, and NO ONE has made it to the finish line (and the prize)! Founder Russ McKamey walks Glenn through the tactics the Manor uses and what the petition to shut it down has gotten completely wrong. Bill O’Reilly has the latest impeachment news: It’s all a game to the Left, but Trump is relieved that Devin Nunes is involved. Bill and Glenn debate whether the pope is a good man after he says it’s “an honor” to be attacked by conservatives and whether Barack Obama is “woke.” But reformed Westboro Baptist member Megan Phelps-Roper recognizes the division overtaking our country. Her new book, “Unfollow,” details how to help people who hate others.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It is a story that I actually bought from him to make a movie out of probably 2008 and held his story and just couldn't get it made and couldn't find the time and yada yada yada and finally gave him the story back to publish a book because I think it's one of the most incredible stories you've ever, ever heard. So make sure you don't miss. Don't miss tomorrow's podcast. It's incredible. This guy, what he has gone through and endured, and he beats himself up still today. He's still healing. But when you hear this story,

it will blow your mind. Blow your mind. All right. We have, we have, what is it, the McCamey Manor? We have a guy who runs the Skagit. scariest haunted house in the world. In fact, he'll give you $20,000 if you can complete it. It lasts 10 hours.

It's a three to four hour waiver. It takes you three to four hours to sit and go over the waiver before you go in. It's a crazy story next. All right, so there are haunted houses. And then there's men. Macaamy Manor. Macaamy Manor has been a,

if I can call it this, a haunted house at different locations for over 30 years. It has, it's called the scariest haunted house in the world, but it's not really a haunted house. You go in one at a time.

The waiver takes you three to four hours to go over and complete. And if you complete the haunted house, the owner, the guy who runs it, will give you $20,000. Again, it's been running for 30 years. No one has ever collected.

Russ McCamey, the owner of the Manor, joins us next. This is the Glymback Program. So look, we're all busy. When you get right down to it, all of the things you have to do throughout the day.

McCamey Manor, not your standard haunted house. It's an audience participation event. in which you as an individual will live your own horror movie. You have to be in great health. You have to be drug-free. You have to have a doctor's slip, I believe. You go through all kinds of things that you must complete,

including a three-to-four-hour release form. And of all things, you also cannot swear. This is the craziest thing ever. Russ McKinney is the owner. He's been doing it for about 30 years. And there is actually a petition now to get him to stop doing it. Nobody's hurt by it. It's not any kind of sexual gratification kind of thing.

This guy used to be in the military. and knows how to get to people. And he is a fascinating individual. Russ, how are you? Do we have Russ on the... I see him there. We have him? For some reason, we can't get him on the phone.

All right, can you call him back, please? For some reason, our phones aren't working. This is really going to piss me off. Yeah. There he is. Russ. How are you? I'm here.

Yeah, where are you guys? that. We're here. We're just your worst nightmare. No, actually, I can't, I really cannot understand what's happening here because everything I've heard about you is that you are a really good, normal, nice guy. And yet, you bring everybody's worst nightmare to reality. Yeah, they get kind of hysterical about this whole thing. And I don't know what the deal is. I mean, it happens every year around this time of the year, you know, the whole shut McCamie Manor down. But no, I don't get it either. It's just that, well, I do get it. So I make these crazy movies. I make these wild YouTube films. And they look scary because they're supposed to look scary. I mean, I'm a filmmaker.

So I'm trying to make it look as scary as possible. And people just get really upset, blow things way out of proportion and now they're doing anything and everything to shut me down and I don't know if it's going to happen I mean this is America this is you know well

look Russie here's the thing I am I am so intrigued by you you're a fan of the show are you not? Yeah absolutely yeah okay so I mean a lot of people on the left would say that shows the hell

sick you are. But I'm fascinated by you because you are a you you are a you you don't seem to be doing this just for hype or for kicks. You've never heard anybody, right? No. No, no. No, it's not that. No one gets hurt. It's very safe. It just seems frightening when you're going through. And it's all just a big, a big show, big illusion. But I definitely have some, a few people kind of fooled into thinking it's something other than it is a respect. Right, but you have been, I've seen a video where you've buried a person except for their open mouth. Well, yeah, sure.

Well, yeah. Well, yeah, of course. Obviously. You got to put a cage over somebody's face and bury them alive. Obviously. I mean, who hasn't done that before? Right. Right.

Right. So I'm wondering, let's just start here. Why do people do this? They're just major adrenaline junkies. These are people who have lived and they've done all the bungee jumping and skydiving and then all the exciting things out there and nothing really affects them anymore. So they come to me like, oh, I really want to fill this again. I want to feel what it was like when I wrote my first roller coaster.

I saw my first scary movie. Help me out. Russ, help me out. I'm like, okay, I can help you. out. That's bizarre. So it's definitely not some sort of, you know, sexual thing. There's, there's none of that going on.

No, in fact, there's, there's three very, very big rules in the manner. There's nothing sexual. There's nothing inappropriate. And there's nothing religious. So we keep, there's nothing, you know, satanic or, I mean, there's nothing like that in there whatsoever. Never has been. It's very PG-13. It's just like an Indiana Jones ride on steroids kind of, you know.

And like you mentioned, there's no cussing. I mean, how scary it can it be? There's no cussing. Well, there's no cussing. You are, you find, everybody starts with 20 grand. And then I understand that if you cuss, you're docked $500. So there might be cussing, but they're panelized for it. That's right.

That's right. Okay. You learn real fast. Well, I won't say that anymore. And so, yeah. So now each of these are custom to each person, because aren't you just doing really enhanced interrogations? Basically, maximize for that one individual or two folks that go through per week. It's funny, you know, we talk to their parents or talk to their family and friends or the coworkers,

and they're more than willing to throw them under the bus. They're more than willing to get us all the dirt about what really, scares them. Wow. And so we do a lot of investigative work to find out what's going to make a good show of that individual before anything starts. So there's a lot to it. It's not just showing up and going, okay, I'm here, Russ, torture me now.

You know, and I hate that word because no one's tortured anyways. But, you know, that's what the audience seems to think. And that's why that petition has gained so much speed, which is just incredible. It's like 80,000 plus, you know, signatures now. maybe more than that, it's over a haunted house, over somebody just doing a hobby. It's not even a business. It's just my little old hobby. People pay you in dog food, right?

It's dog food. Yes, one big bag of dog food helps towards the rest of animals. Yeah, so that's it right there. It is. It's crazy. Okay, all right. Let me just add it. Is there, I mean, if you go through enhanced animals,

interrogation. I know Navy SEALs and I know people in the military who have gone through it for real, and it does psychologically scar you. Well, hopefully we're not scarring anybody. It's not as intense as if you went to like Sears School, which is search and rescue and survival school, that type of thing. And our buds training, you know, which is a seal training. It's not like that. But I definitely do take aspects of what I learned in the military after 23 years. And it's just a lot of common sense. I mean, you know, I do hypnosis, which everybody knows I do that. And I'm not hiding it from the audience when they first come here.

One of the first things on the contract is saying, you know that I'm going to try to hypnotize you. Now, I may not hypnotize everybody, but I'm going to give it my old college try here. Because if I can do that, then they're like putty in my hands. one again. And so there is mind control techniques, but in a fun kind of way. That's what's so crazy about this is you. I've seen videos where this woman is just, she looks like, and I know it's not, but she looks like she has blood all over her face. She looks like she's in hysterics. She's got something in her mouth that's keeping her mouth open. And you're like, okay, it's about to get intense. And you're like, what?

Are you okay with that? Are you okay? You seem like Santa that is bringing somebody through hell. Maybe a little bit. I'm always checking on people. I'm always stopping the show to ask if they're mentally and physically okay to go on. And that's what a lot of people don't see. You saw that little tidbit, and that's probably a mistake in editing.

But who knows? I'm sure it's out there. But I'm always trying to make sure that people know. and that the person going through knows that they're safe. And they have total control. They can stop the show any time they want to. This deal of not having a safe word that ended several years ago. Because there was a time, I have to admit, that we didn't offer a safe phrase,

and they signed up to go as long as we wanted them to go. It's so interesting. Wow. But now, yeah, there's absolutely a safe phrase. So you would be fine, Glenn. I think you might want to try this just as a... You know. No.

What's the longest anybody's gone since you've had the safe phrase, Russ? How long is... Because you say the show can last up to 10 hours, right? Right. So the way it works is that you have to start the clock. You have to do an event, grab a key, open a door, do something to start the clock. Once you start the clock, then your 10-hour meter is on. But nobody has even started the clock.

yet. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Wow. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. You've buried people with their mouth open.

That's not on the clock? You have to get to a certain point of being buried. You have to have a certain depth, so to speak. And once you get to a certain point, now the clock starts. Now, I must say there is one woman who's actually coming back here again. in November. She's been through it nine times. And she's this solid, upstanding individual, you know,

who works in Washington, D.C., and a big high player. And she just loves the stuff. But we counted up how much time she spent inside the actual manner. And she's been inside 45 hours of actually doing activities, 45 hours of doing different things. So there's a lot. There's a lot. He's Elizabeth Warren.

Nancy Pelosi. Yeah. Have you ever had like a Navy SEAL or Delta Force try this? I have. You have? I have. And they have not made it through, huh? They have not.

They have not. And I get a lot of military folks. Back, military folks are my favorite because they have their head on a swivel. They know how to overcome and adapt. They know how to, you know, they're not knuckleheads. And this is definitely a. a non-knucklehead zone. And, you know, we don't want the crazy ones.

We don't want the ones who are just trying to come here just for the money. Because if you're coming here for the money, you're going to be really upset when you leave here. Because you're not going to walk away with anything because the manner is always going to win. But in a fun way, you know, it really is fun. That's why the testament to that is why people come back time and time again. No, it doesn't sound fun. No, it doesn't sound fun. It just doesn't.

I know, I know. I'm telling you, you've got to try it. No, I'm not a candidate for this. Let me hypnotize you. Yeah, all right. Hang on just a second. We'll continue with Russ McCamey from the McCamey Manor. You follow it and find it at McCamie Manor.

com. It is wild Netflix just did the movie on it. It's pretty intense. Now, stealing someone's identity. That's about as much of a thrill that I want to have is somebody stealing my identity. Cybercriminals today have grown in numbers, sophistication, when it comes to finding ways to remove you from your money, and the worst thing you can do is ignore it. It's worse than just making sure you've got a hand on your wallet at all times.

Your identity is floating around in cyberspace much of the time, and to assume that you're going to escape some sort of incursion in a world where cybercrime is increasing, rather than decreasing. It's pretty dangerous. Knucklehead zone, as Russ just said. Good news is there's LifeLock. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats keeps you informed if and when somebody's out there

trying to get a hold of or sell your information online. And nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses. But LifeLock sees the threats that you might miss on your own. Act now and get an extra 10% off your first year with the promo code back.

Christmas. But you are, you are, how does the town react to you? Oh, they over me. And they still do. In a good way or a bad way? In a bad way. At least the leadership. You know, the leadership, my first got here, they put out a community alert saying, get this guy out of town. This is where he lives. Go get him. You don't want him here. You go tell him you don't want him here. Basically, I had a target on my back for quite a while. And then the town folk, they started kind of coming around my way. They started meeting me and thought, this guy's okay. It's not like what we thought he was. But the leadership's a whole different ballgame because they kind of put their neck out there saying, we're going to get him out of town no matter what. And that hasn't happened. So they're still

looking for ways to get me out of town. Is that what happened to you in San Diego or did you just move? No, no, that's a rumor. That's a rumor that probably I started because I like to start a lot of stories. I love a guy who says, I probably started. Can't confirm nor deny. Right, right. Right. Okay, so now let me give you some things. The petition claims that you hire employees with violent histories and you make people ingest pills that cause hallucinations. Right. Well, first off, there are no employees because it's just a little low

rough. So you come to the manner, there is nobody here except me against the contestant. That's it. My noggin against their noggin, and their job is just not to let me get in their head. So that's not true. In San Diego, we had some actors, but as far as with their backgrounds were, I have no idea. Never heard about violent histories or whatever. that's a nice little story. The pill situation, again, here's where people have to put on their logic caps. And I know it's hard to do sometimes for certain folks, always wanted to sign that silly petition.

But if I was really, really doing things that were illegal and giving medication to people and torturing people and doing this and that, that would be illegal. I don't care where you're at, that's not allowed. So there must be something more to the situation. And that's where the hypnosis comes in the play. Because if I hypnotize you, like I was saying earlier, I can make you believe whatever I want. And that's the magic of the manner.

Without giving too much way, just kind of add two together and realize that if all this stuff is going on that's in the petition, I wouldn't be here right now. I'd be locked away in the Burkage Theater someplace. I'd be gone. The petition says this, you're literally running, literally, I'm quoting, a kidnapping and torture house. people have had to seek professional psychiatric help and medical care for extensive injuries.

Geez. I know. Sounds amazing. It's good PR, but that's about all it is. But they can write, it just goes to show you they can write whatever they want. And what they're doing is they're just taking their own thoughts based upon movies that are five, six, seven years old that I made back in San Diego. They're not basing anything upon the reality. of what it really is.

And in fact, every show, before every show, I called the police, I let them know what I'm doing, I volunteer for them to come down and watch the show anytime they want to. Law enforcement, the district attorney, anybody can come here unannounced, anytime they want to with cameras in hand, film everything they want,

but no one ever does. So no one's ever taken me up on my offer to actually see what I do. Instead, they do things like the petition. All right. if you wouldn't mind hanging on just a couple more minutes, I want to talk to you about

how you design these things, you know, some of the weirder things that you've had to do to freak people out and get them to not win the 20 grand. Also, the four-hour waiver process, what that's all about.

When we come back. Is the Glemba program? You know, gifts really mean something when they're really, really personal. And I'll tell you, of the most personal things that you can go through is is a DNA screening. When you get the DNA screening and you're finding out your traits, you're finding out things about your health, and you're finding your history, it is really, truly amazing. You might want to consider this from 23 and me.

It is their health and ancestry kit from 23 and me, and it would make a great, gift this holiday season. You get more than 150 personalized genetic reports, including insights into your health. Now with more than 1,500 geographic regions, 23 and Me is the most comprehensive ancestry breakdown on the market.

And you also get trait reports and 30 different traits that you have. An easy-to-use automatic family tree builder uses your DNA to start building your family tree. This is something spend Thanksgiving

either sharing your results at Thanksgiving or taking the test and sharing your results together as a family is Christmas. It's 23 and me.com slash back. Did you miss Wednesday special on Ukraine? You can watch the whole special on Blaze TV's YouTube page right now and do it for free.

So we have Russ McCamey on. He is the owner of Macaamy Manor, Macamie Manor.com. You might have seen an episode on Netflix of Dark Tourist that is really quite frightening. And you'll see, you know, you'll see military guys go through and they won't make it an hour with Russ.

And they're tough guys. It is, it's truly a frightening, haunted house, if you will. He's on with us now. You know, is waterboarding is considered torture, right? Right, right. Actual real waterboarding is torture. Correct. You do a form of waterboarding, though, don't you?

Well, I mean, there is a lot of water at the haunt. It is a water ride, for sure. Water ride. So it's like going to the water park, it's all. And because water is a great way to motivate people. Now, we have, we've done waterboarding here at the studio. Pat and I waterboarded stew. With insure.

Yeah, we used insure. but it was too chocolatey. He couldn't handle it. He couldn't handle it. He thought he could handle it with the chocolate opposed to water, but it was just too chocolatey for him. We have a guy

on staff who is trained in enhanced interrogation techniques and he said, A, that when I told him you were on this morning, he said, oh, I'd never go

because you're never going to win. You can't. There's no way to win. Everyone breaks. True? Right. Yeah. True. Absolutely. He says he knows because he will neither confirm nor deny. But I, I know some, you remember the hairy back guy from Al-Qaeda that we got years and years ago? Sheikh Mohammed. Yeah. He was, right. He was at least around the area when they were talking to that guy. And I'd like to send him with a bag of dog food just because I'm a good employer. And put him through your course to see how long he lasts.

Sure. We can do that. All right. Absolutely. All right. Now, let me ask you this, Russ. You've had really tough guys. What is the, what's the shortest amount of time somebody has lasted? in the manner who was a tough guy or thought he was a tough guy? Oh, that's easy. I'd say half the people quit during the contract, so they don't even get inside the manner. So these rough and tumble guys, once they read what's coming down, they'll pike for them, they're like, no, I don't think so.

I'm done. Really? So is that part of it, is that part of it, is the release form? is that part of the psychological workup? Absolutely. That's also where I do all the hypnosis too, because I'm not so good that I can hypnotize somebody in five seconds like some people can. I need several hours with them.

I need to really get inside their noggin. I need to do all the repetitive words. I need to do all the tricks that it takes to hypnotize somebody. I need that time. So I'm not so good that I can just click my fingers and you're hypnotized. So time is important. time is on my side and that's why that's why when you first get there in the morning you're you're there at you know like 10 a.m and you're there until sunset and then when when the sun goes down the

sun begins so so this is also wearing this is also wearing people down so by the time they hit the manner you've already worn them out absolutely because we do a lot of physical activities during the daytime i call it kind of kind of a mini boot camp and this way this way it's important. I need to know what type of physical activities and they can do what they can't do. So I'll have them hold their breath underwater, you know, in a nice way, not in a violent way, but I'll just say, well, how long can you hold your breath? Because these are things I need to know because there is breath holding inside, you know,

whether it be dirt or whether it be water you're going to deal with. I need to know these things. So during the daytime portions, that's when I'm finding out what their limitations are. and then I'll work around that because the last thing we want to do is have anyone get hurt. So I really need to know where they stand physically before they roll inside the real show. What is the most common fear and what is the fear that you thought, wow, I'm going to have to work on that one for a minute? Most common fear is definitely water. Water is a great equalizer for sure.

and because there's so much of it being used, it's always on you. You're either cold or but, you know, if it's hot outside, you're glad the water's on you. But you're either getting cold or you're just wet and comfortable. It's not always in your face, but you're always wet. And it just drains you. It drained your body after hours and hours of having a big heavy onesie on because everybody has to wear these crazy onesies, like a bunny rabbit or a cow or something. You got to be something silly when you're inside the haunt.

It just looks so goofy on film. But there's also a reason why you do it because it weighs you down. You get those big old suits all full of water, and it's hard to move. It's another means of tiring you out, absolutely. And what is the – have you met with anybody that you thought, this one's going to be hard to crack or this person's fear is unusual? I did. A few weeks ago, we had a war veteran who lost both his legs, the double amputee. And I thought, how in the world am I going to put this guy through the show?

But he is a really motivated young man who's a rock climber, one of those really athletic guys. You know, he weighs 170 pounds, follow his rock, but he's got no legs. and I thought, should I even do this? I thought, you know what? He's so motivated and it's so inspirational that I was like, I couldn't say no to him. And this guy just kicked it. This guy was great. He did everything we needed him to do.

I didn't need to dumb down the show whatsoever. Eventually, I think the water and just fatigue is what got to him. But he held in there just as long as the big rough tough guys with all their extremities. It was incredible. I mean, really inspirational. I've never seen anything like it. Men break slower than women? No, no.

Women are much stronger. Oh, no, by the bar. Because it's mainly psychological, right? Absolutely. Yeah, the women have a much higher tolerance to my little shenanigans than the guys do. Why is that? They don't fall for it. Why is that?

You know, I just think women are tougher overall. right we all we all have women in our lives and they're just tough come on we have to admit guys women are tougher than we are we know that so and for being honest with our with ourselves they go through some really amazing ordeals in their in their life and things that a lot of guys would say no i don't think so and i think that there's a lot i think there's something to girls i've had girls i've had boys uh in the at raising them girls are mean. Girls are mean to each other when they're in

their teen years. They go through some really nasty things in school years. Yeah, I agree. And they're very competitive. I mean, they're much more competitive than the guys are. The guys are like, hey, this is fun. But the women

are like, no, this is serious, Russ. Bring on. Bring on, Russ. We're doing this right now. And do you use... Do you use animals? I do. Lots of spiders and snakes. and scorpions and rats and rats. A lot of bugs. Yeah, rats.

But they're field mice. But field mice, field mice are worse because they're smaller, they're quicker, and they love to get inside your clothes. Oh. So, you know, and then they stay in there. And so now you're walking around the rest of the day with field mice and your little outfit. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's what I say. Oh, my gosh. Could you make it through?

Do you think? Could you make it through your own show? Yeah, because I know how it works. Yeah. But if I didn't know how it, if I didn't know how it worked, then no. No. So no one's going to make it through, you know, just be really clear with that. And that's why when people come here, they need to come here for the right reason because they want to push themselves and they're coming here just because it's entertainment.

And it really is fun. And it doesn't sound fun. It doesn't. You know what sounds fun for, you know, honestly? If you watch like Mission Impossible and you see and, you know, I don't know. I don't imagine that there are very many people, if any people like this where, you know, he's rock climbing without any rope or anything. And he gets his thrills doing that because his life is so crazy.

If those people really exist, I could see those people saying, oh, I want to go through this. They're out there. I mean, they fly in from all around the world to take on this little challenge. It's amazing. It's not a local thing. The locals don't go. The locals have sparked up like, no way.

I'm not doing that. But all these folks that flying from around the world across the pond. And it's amazing. They spend all this money to get here. They spend their vacation time to get here. So I kind of, I'm hard-pressed. I have to give them a good show because this means a lot to them. Do they sell the dog food at the airport?

Because that's what I would do. I would set up a little dog food stand there at the airport. It's your dog food here. Russ, has there ever been a person you thought was going to make it that you thought, okay, maybe they can go the distance? Never? No. Wow.

Never. How many people do you turn away? Oh, my gosh. I turn away thousands and thousands because the waiting list is I can't even comprehend what it is anymore. In fact, it's so big right now, we have to go to a lotto to win a ticket here, especially since all this craziness. You know, that's one thing that these petition people don't get. All they did was just gain more attention to the manner and made it more popular. I just hope that nothing crazy does go on because, you know, it is life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

And this is just a hobby. It's like saying, you know, Glenn, you like flying remote control airplanes. Well, you're no longer allowed to do that, Glenn, because we don't like what you're doing. And it's the same thing. Nobody is getting hurt. It's not what the petition says whatsoever. So it is frustrating because I have people coming out of the woodwork. You know, this weekend I have an inspector coming out now.

They have to inspect for fire safety now. And there's no fire safety codes. But they're just doing whatever they can do to kind of harass at this point in point in time. So it is kind of frustrating. You only charge dog food for doing this. This is something that, you know, you're doing it. time. Are you really actually a wedding singer as your full-time job? Well, kind of as a part-time gig, yeah. Like, if you, there's a movie on Netflix called

Haunters, the Art of the Scared. That's a really good movie. That's a feature documentary and it stars, stars me. And there's also the dark tourist one. But Haunters is a feature film. And it's got me doing the wedding stuff out there. Yeah, if you, if you go to DJ party.org. You'll see me in all my glory out there entertaining folks and stuff. So, so how scary can I be? I'm a wedding singer. Come on now. It's bizarre. It's just bizarre. Russ, it's really good talking to you and best of luck. And I'm, you know, I'm, there's, there is a part of me that says, you know, I don't know if we should be doing this, but that part of me is the, that big government part.

that I hate. I, you know, as long as everybody is a consenting adult and you're not hurting anybody and and and they know what's going on, I don't see why there's a problem, Pat. Oh, no. I mean, personal freedom thing. Yeah, it's a freedom thing. You have the right to do as long as nobody's getting hurt. I don't know whose business this is, except between you and the person going through it.

Russ, thank you so much. God bless. Thank you. You bet. Bye-bye. I think we send Jason. If he's serious, I think we send Jason in a cameraman. Is he willing?

Jason! He's willing, absolutely. He said earlier he wouldn't, but I bet we could convince him to do it. All right. You have $57,000 to spare? How about spending your vacation time from work in jail? If this, if these, you know, don't sound, you know, insane.

Every year, one million responsibly armed citizens are forced to use their firearms in self-defense. And if you do that, it's going to cost you about $57,000 and you could spend your vacation from work

in jail. Those victims have to pay tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket just to defend themselves. And it doesn't seem fair, but that's the way our system works. When you join, The U.S. Concealed Carry Association, you're going to get instant access to industry-leading self-defense education, training, and legal protection.

I'll do it because I hate the big government aspect of this as well, and I want to help improve that, you know, about this, because I know everything involved in what he's going to do. I know that I won't make it, and I'll break it, and I'll break.

But I'll do it only if we can send one of our, send our crew along with it to help improve this case. Yeah, okay. All right, we'll do that. Now, what do we get if you don't last an hour? Besides your eternal shame and humiliation. How dare you, sir? How dare you, sir?

Yeah, so let's get him back on the phone, you know, off air and see if we could arrange that and we'll send one of our cameramen out with you. Because it's not right, I think. I mean, this is pursuit of happiness and you may not like it and it may make you uncomfortable, but intellectually, emotionally, I could say, oh, yeah, you know, that's not right. But intellectually, no, the guy is seemingly a really good, decent human being. He doesn't allow people to swear around. So, yeah, we'll see if you can get that lined up and we'll send you out.

Welcome, Bill O'Reilly. I want to start with this. You've done an updated message of the day, which is 10 ways the impeachment process is hurting every single American. Let's start there.

All right. It's the United States of Trump, Beck. I know it's a complicated thing. It is. I didn't read it. I haven't seen it. You read it and her with Pat and Hat will

tell you. See, if I were, if I want your listeners to know before we get into the heavy duty stuff, if I were advertising on Beck, the United States of Trump paying him money, he would be, he would know the title.

And he could, tell you the title backward. Nope. Okay? We'd be sitting in the... You're the one that still wrote the book? Wait, you're the one who still wrote the book? I wrote the United States of Trump. Right. But I mean, in this scenario where I'm doing advertising, you're paying me to do it, and you are the author of the book.

Yes. And I am telling everyone that you would not boot the title of the book. Nope. If you were being paid. You are wrong, Mr. O'Reilly. But let's get to the 10 things on how the impeachment is actually hurting the average American. Yes. There's nothing good about this, number one. And if you see other people celebrating impeachment, you need to just pull them aside and say, do you understand that we all are in this together in this country, that we have to have a functioning federal government trying to solve vexing problems, that we must.

must have a robust economy to support 330 million people, most of whom want to improve themselves. Do you understand that destroying the office of the presidency, not just the president, but the office of it is counterproductive to freedom? Do you understand any of that? And you'll get silence, because this isn't the way impeachment is being presented. This is awful. You know, I said earlier this week, Bill, that this impeachment, all of the so-called evidence that they're presenting on TV is not evidence. And this is really reminiscent of the glove in O.J. Simpson's case. African Americans wanted O.J. Simpson to be innocent. So it would be a win for them because of history of, you know, blacks getting crushed by the system. They wanted this guy to beat the system. And so the glove was, it didn't have really anything to do with the evidence. They had blood stains and drops in his car.

They had DNA evidence, everything else. But the glove gave them permission to say, yep, he's innocent. And the same thing. Certainly a jury fought that. Right. But the same thing is happening here with this. This phone call is giving permission to people who want Donald Trump to be out. it's giving them an easy way of, even though it's not based on any fact of, yep, we win, he's out.

Sure. That's what it's all about, the destruction of Donald Trump. And whether it's fresh inclusion or impeachment or whatever they'll come up with next, abuse of power. It is a game now. It's a game. All right. So someone's going to have actual board game, like Monopoly, and then you roll a dice. and then you'll stop on a square, and the square will say Trump did this.

Okay? It's ridiculous. Now, I'm not in the business of defending Donald Trump, even though I wrote a book on him, a fair book. It's not a pro-Trump book. By the way, if you're looking for a great book to read, Bill wrote that book called The Country, according to the president. Yes. Okay.

The Little Red Book by Mousa. There you go. So I'm in the business of trying to improve America, and I've always been in that business, and that's why I'm successful. So whether it's books or commentary or radio, whatever it may be, and I'm seeing this as, number one, a division in the country now based on hatred of one individual. Now, there is a system attached to the individual. I understand that.

But when you got a guy like Adam Schiff, by the way, I am counting my trick-a-treats. I went as Adam Schiff last night, and it was not easy getting a shirt three sizes too big. Not easy. You're right. I did it. Yeah, good for you. I scared every urchin. Urchins were screaming.

That is crazy. So did you see the news that we know, we think we know who the whistleblower is now? I reported last night. We know. Yeah. It's a 33-year-old. guy who's a hate Trump guy who worked in the deep state and still is in Langley, Virginia, who was associated with Biden and with other people and has two best friends working for

Adam Schiff. And so it's a total con. I haven't heard anything about him for three weeks. Yeah. And you know, it's interesting, Bill, is he is connected with Chalupa, who was a main figure on our chalkboard. And we did the chalkboard about a month ago. Five, I think it was five days later is when they said, yeah, we're, don't worry about that. We've got another whistleblower. And as we find out now, this guy is connected directly to the storyline of our chalkboard. He is evidence that it's true. If this were a criminal case, we'd have been thrown out. Yeah. We've been throwing. or not. Everything's gone because the original complaint and is a fraud. So it's gone. What does it say to you yesterday not a single Republican voted for this?

Big time for a win for Trump. And the reason is that there are senators like Romney and Murkowski who hate Trump, hate them, and would vote to remove. Now they can't. Because if they do, they'll be blackballed by their own party. And, um, would make me happier. Yeah, okay. I mean, look, politics is politics. But I was surprised. I thought there would be a couple of Republican congressmen to vote for the inquiry.

Remember, this was a vote to continue the inquiry, to continue compiling evidence of a possible misdemeanor in high crime. Not one person, not one witness is said that it is a crime. Not one. So that is emboldened Donald Trump. So let me give you some insight info. As you know, I know him pretty well. I'm very good sources.

So there was a big meeting after the vote in the White House. And when I shouldn't say big, because there aren't a lot of advisors in there. And he just trusts Mulvaney. Mulvaney is going to be gone and, you know, a matter of very short time. Mulvaney's out. So there's a meeting about five or six people who trusts. And they basically sat around and they said, look. Now let's let this go forward because we have Nunez, and this is a big key that every American should know.

Nunez is stronger than Schiff. So Nunez is the minority guy on the House Intel Committee, all right? Devin Nunez from California. He's stronger than Schiff. So it's him and Schiff that will direct the questioning. Nunez and Schiff. and then in the summaries and the leaking to the press, it's Nunez and Jif.

Nunez will be on Fox News every second of every day. All right. And so they believe that Nunez is going to kick shifts butt all over the place. And this is going to directly lead to the re-election of Donald Trump. So they're happy. This is the first time that the president's been relieved. I mean, last time we talked last week, I said I was worried about him personally. because it was taken its emotional toll on him.

Now he's almost buoyant in the sense that he believes this whole thing has turned after yesterday's vote. I would agree. I think this week was a turning point in this, and I think it's going to get worse and worse for the Democrats. With one exception, what do you think is going to happen with John Bolton? Very interesting. Yeah, they keep holding him out like, oh, he's going to be. be the death knell for a brown i don't i don't know the ambassador that well i never used him on the or i really found he wasn't used him very smart guy very smart was because he i knew what he was going

to say i knew it i mean it was it was never a surprise never a nuance he was yeah but he wasn't a he was not a guy who was parroting uh a lot of other people It's been a hard right view of foreign policy. Correct. All right. And I didn't use any hard left people either. I never did. So here's the dilemma for John Bolton.

Bolton, you can't assume that he has any regard for Donald Trump. We can't assume that. I mean, he doesn't like him because it didn't end well in the White House for him. But if he goes in and crushes Trump, and he could. he could he's dangerous in a sense that he knows a lot of things he will alienate himself from his entire ideological structure he will be a pariah in this country i think he's he's on that road already but he knows that he there's not going to be any anywhere for him to speak speaking engagements no book audience for him no comeback on fox news

of that. So he cuts himself off. Now, the Trump administration has anticipated the worst. They don't know. Nobody knows what Bolton's going to say. So the counter to Bolton is Pompeo. And you saw that this week as well. A Pompeo came out. So look, I was on the call. And we didn't deviate out from what our policy for the Trump administration is. So they'll put Pompeo up against Bolton. And Pompeo's strong. Remember, ex-CIA chief, all right. He's strong. So does this,

danger there? Does this boil down, Bill, really, to an extreme disagreement in the policy of the State Department and the State Department just saying, we don't work for Donald Trump, even though they do. We don't work for Donald Trump. And Donald Trump's not going to get involved. And the State Department engaging in some really nasty, stuff over in the Ukraine? Well, the State Department now is very

sympathetical with President Trump. I mean, because Pompeo is a secretary of state. They're buds. Yeah, no, I mean those long-term players, for instance, the whistleblower. But they don't have any access other than leaking whatever. There are two people that Donald Trump deals with every day, Vice President Pence and Pompeo.

Those are the only two. And they're both very loyal to them. And as long as they stay there, as long as he has them, he can use them to go out and negate a bullet. Now, as for your question about the State Department and the Justice Department and everybody else, they all hate Trump. They hated him from day one. All right? And that's why you saw the whistleblower. Yes.

This guy was working to undermine Trump from the very beginning. Oh, he's the guy who said that Putin and Trump, you know, Putin told Donald Trump to fire Comey. He's the guy who started all of that. This guy is an activist. He's an activist. Very bad. Very bad. But Schiff is in trouble because he went to Schiff because his two best friends work for Schiff.

I mean, he's really bad. Okay. More with Bill O'Reilly, the author of Me Right, book about President. going up in just a second. You might have heard about the VPN that was recently breached. Hackers compromised the very thing that Wi-Fi users rely on

So he's out. Welcome, Bill. How are you? I'm the same, and I wish I were with Stu. And Stu may never come back. Yeah. Hey, can I just quickly get your thoughts on Congress going up and finally making a statement about the Armenian genocide,

except for a couple of people, including Elon Omar, who said, I can't comment on this when. we're dealing with what Americans did to Native Americans and slave trade. What are your thoughts on this? Well, I have to confess, I don't know much about the Armenian slaughter, so I can't really bring anything due to the discussion, but I can tell you that, you know, the radical left in America is the conservative movement's best friend,

because these people are so loopy, so insane, that even the people who don't subscribe to information, like they say, I don't want any information. I don't want to know anything. I'll never watch or read any news. Even they go, you know, these people are stupid. Did you catch Barack Obama criticizing the woke movie? Oh, I couldn't take it. I couldn't take it.

You know, I'm telling you, you're too tough on Obama. Obama, there's something about him, and I know him pretty well, that can't stand this phony garbage. And I'm glad he did what he did yesterday. I am too, but he's the guy who started it. Oh, I don't believe that for a second. Oh, come on, man. He wasn't involved with the cultural woke movement. What?

He wasn't doing that. He wasn't doing that. His whole stick, Beck. His whole stick was, his whole stick was, you know, that's the way white people will do you. His whole stick was, well, the police act stupidly. That's not what woke is. No, that's the. That you're not allowed to say anything.

You're not allowed to offend anyone. You've got to have 15 bathrooms for different ethnicities. minute, that's what woke is. Obama is a, I think he's a socialist guy. I think he is, but if he isn't, he's very close. That was his whole thing. That was it. Get

money to the people who don't have any, and that's why the economy tanked. Man, I just don't understand. No, I just, I'm just thinking. I just He wasn't a cultural left wing. That's all he was. No, no. His wife on the

campaign. That's not him. Michelle, all right. I'll give you Michelle. Everything's about race. I got it. But for him, it wasn't quite that way. Do you have the Michelle Obama on the campaign trail?

Mm-hmm. Because Barack knows. Barack knows. Listen to the this is when she was taken off of the campaign trail. And Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices. We're going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our health. our history, we're going to have to move into a different place.

That's what wokeness is. He's talking about our history and our traditions. In the context of race. Well, I'm trying to figure out what we're going through right now because I know it wasn't happening that way a few years ago. Before he got in, it wasn't this diametric. strictly opposed on race and everything else. And history.

Democracy does die in darkness. Check it all out on Blaze TV or YouTube anytime. Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton who co-wrote the book of gutsy women. Hillary, I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while. How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein? Because you... But you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do.

Because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president. What is the game plan? Well, Trevor. But honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman of the rights? Well, it's a constant surprise to me because the things they say, and now, of course, it's on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous beyond any imagination that I could have, and yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories.

Honestly, I don't know what I... ever did to get them so upset. Oh my gosh. Stop. We could clarify that for her if she wanted. Bill, the likelihood that Hillary Clinton did off Jeffrey Epstein with her own hands.

The likelihood of that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1%. Okay. Okay. I forgot we were on the air. Okay. So wait a minute. I do want to ask you a serious question on this.

Dr. Michael Baden said that it's more likely that he died of a homicide than a suicide. He's not the first to say, but he's the one who examined now. The New York chief medical examiner said it was definitely suicide. But this guy says, and he's respected, no, there's three bones in there that are usually not broken by hanging yourself. It's very common with homicide. Look, I'm not a doctor. I know this guy likes publicity. I don't believe a word of it.

I know people in Bureau of Prisons. It's inconceivable that this would happen, but, you know, people like batten that stuff around. You are no fun. Yeah, I'm not a lot of fun. I'll tell you that. But here's an astute observation from me. Who has more in common with Donald Trump

and any other politician in the country? Hillary Clinton because they're both maligned to the point of caricature and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and remember remember I sat behind Hillary

and Bill Clinton at Marla Maples Donald Trump's wedding I sat behind them all right and they couldn't have been more buddy buddy and this is in the United States of Trump the book you so love

all right it's in there and now if there's one sole mate in the political arena for Donald Trump it's her isn't that ironic it is and it is a good it is a good part of the book uh you me the president and a dog named boo uh by bill o'reilly bill let me let me ask let me ask you this sauce i saw a story i have never seen any any any religious person say anything like this before. Pope Francis, quote, it's an honor to be attacked by American conservatives. I didn't see that.

Can you give me the context of it? He said on Wednesday, it was an honor to be attacked by the U.S. church conservatives and their Catholic media allies who have criticized him on issues from theology to climate change and even called for his resignation. Yeah. Well, there's a movie coming out about the two popes, I think the name of it is.

It'll be out before Christmas, and Anthony Hopkins pays one of the popes and somebody famous plays the other. And it's about the handoff from Pope Benedict, a conservative German pope to Pope Francis, a liberal Argentinian. I like Pope Francis. I watched him up close, and he... is a good man. But he is a very liberal theologian, very liberal. And that makes conservative Catholics crazy. Crazy. And so I understand the ire toward Pope Francis. But as a Catholic, I think Pope Francis is a good man, even though I don't agree with his liberal theology in the sense that Well, I mean, I think...

We have to have borders. We have to have... Wait, wait, wait, wait. But I think for the very first time, I could ask the question, is the Pope Catholic? And not everybody could answer that question. Yeah, he's Catholic. He's just... He said that Jesus, if you believe in the Trinity, he said Jesus wasn't God for while he was here on Earth for 33 years.

Now, if you believe in the Trinity, did we not have God for 30 years? 33 years? Where did God go? Hiatus. Okay. Look, all of this is out of context. It's like the New Testament. Most of the New Testament is a parable. He's not saying this. He's, and this is what Francis does. So, look, I don't want to get into Catholic theology, but there's a difference between what the Pope does. and what the religion is. All right. We have had popes throughout history that have been so corrupt. They had 18 wives.

I mean, just look at them. Started wars, looted countries. I mean, there's a theology, and the theology, I believe, is very, very strong. But then there's an institution, and the institution is not. All right. Let me, you and I, boy, we said, I mean, we're shaking apart here.

We're shaking apart. Our friendship is shaking apart here. No, back. Oh, no. No, it's... As a Christian man, you have to forgive me. Okay, so Bill, last one, Elizabeth Warren. Oh, I love her, don't you?

Oh, she's great. You know what? I think I've uncovered a videotape of Elizabeth Warren on American Bandstand. It looks just like her. Dick Clark is interviewing her about the dog named Boo song that you said. Really? Really? Yeah.

So she just came out and said, what is it? 56 or 54? 52. 53 million. Trillion. Yeah. Trillion. Trillion.

What difference is to make it that? Yeah. It really doesn't matter. Yeah. So, but what people don't know is Bernie and Elizabeth. to pay for Medicare for all are willing to sell California to China. And that's really, too late. That's already been done.

They sold the coastlines too late. But they're so simpatico now. It's not even, you know, you don't even notice. I just come in, pay the 50 trillion for it, and everybody's happy. Okay. So today, as they stand today, who's going to be the nominee? Biden.

Still? Really? As it stands today, if Biden, okay, if they can wake him up, all right, he sleeps late, he'll get it. Because they know the socialists are going to lose, they being the power brokers within the Democratic Party. So I don't understand. They know this. They know it. They're standing on it. They're doing everything. They're standing on it every day. they don't reject it, they embrace it until they have to actually get Americans to vote. What is their strategy? Here's the strategy.

They believe by pandering to these far, far left people, these socialist people, they're getting younger people engaged in Democratic Party. That's number one. All the younger people want to be socialist, don't want to work, just want to get everything in it to them. They're going to be committed Democrats. also believe in this is a mistake that minorities like this, they don't. I don't believe that Hispanic Americans and African Americans are socialists. Younger Americans, yes. I do believe that. Absolutely. So, and also the media loves socialism. They love it until socialism comes to their door, then they don't like it so much. And so the Democratic Party, they're playing this game.

They're going, okay, we can recruit using this stuff. We can do this. But then when it comes crunch time at the convention, they're going to wheel out Joe. And I think literally wheel him out, all right? And he'll be waving one hand. He can't do two at once. And he'll be there with that big grin and Hunter will be Secretary of State. It's going to work out.

It's going to be great. It's going to work out. All right, go ahead and plug the pamphlet or something. The size of Trump gangbusters. I actually am running commercials where Glenn Beck says it's the greatest book that he's either read with the exception. Celebrity voice impersonated. Yes. And Bill O'Reilly.com, we're opening it up for everybody this weekend, so you don't have to pay to see my impeachment coverage yesterday, which I think was one of the best things I've ever done.

Wow. So go to Bill O'Reilly. It's not on time. Go to the blaze. You know, don't waste your time. on this weekend on foolish football. Get knowledge. All right.

Bill O'Reilly, thank you so much. Free weekend at Bill O'Reilly.com. Good talking to him. Have a good week. Weekend. All right. Conventional wisdom says that you should either sell or buy a house in the spring or summer. But that actually is not true anymore.

You know, it's great to take care of the outside stuff. The kids are out of school, blah, blah, blah. But there's a lot more that goes into buy. and selling a home, and the truth of the matter is, some of the best times to buy and sell in homes are not when people traditionally think. There is, we have changed as a nation. Surprisingly, January is the best time to buy a home because the prices tend to be lower, and November is the best time to sell a home because there are usually fewer homes on the

market, which, of course, means that someone is more apt to see your home. Why is this? because the myth persists. These are the kinds of things that you're going to learn when you go and use real estate agents. I trust.com. If you want someone who can help you create the most value for your home and who has a long track record of success, it's time to get moving. Go to real estate agents. I trust.com.

That's real estate agents. I trust.com. There's a couple of things I want to play some audio. Here is Adam Schiff in audio. how he feels about impeaching Donald Trump. Just listen to that. We take no joy in having to move down this road and proceed with the impeachment inquiry. But neither do we shrink from it.

Yeah. I don't think anybody believes that. I don't think your wife, your mother. No one believes that one. No way. Here is a state lawmaker talking about miscarriage. This is Representative Wendy Olm. Olman of Pennsylvania. Listen to this.

It refers specifically to the product of conception after fertilization, which covers an awful lot of territory. I think we all understand the concept of the loss of a fetus, but we're also talking about a woman who comes into a facility and is having cramps and not to be, be callous concrete an early miscarriage is

just some mess on a napkin and I'm not sure people would agree that this is something that we want to

take to the point of ritual either cremation or internment oh wow wow is that despicable evil

miscarriage is just a mess on a napkin I cannot believe that a woman said that. I know. That's a woman who obviously doesn't know any other women that have had miscarriages. Right. I mean...

Sounds like a woman who's never been pregnant. Oh my gosh. To say that she... Yeah, you lost a fetus. No. No, I didn't lose a fetus. Lost a baby that was growing in the womb. Wow, that's pretty despicable.

But that's how far they've come. I know. And I was just going to say, I can't imagine that woman being reelected. But then again, today, maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe people don't feel this way anymore. I don't have any idea.

One last. Do we have a minute 30 here that we could play the judicial pick of Lawrence Van Dyke in the Senate hearing when one of the senators is questioning him about his political. letter from the American Bar Association that accuses him of ineptitude and also discrimination against LGBT. Listen, did you say that you wouldn't be fair to members of the LGBT community? Senator, that was, that was the part of the letter. I did not say that. Look at what, look at what people are doing to people. Mm-hmm. I apologize. It's all right. No, I did not say that. I do not believe that.

It is a fundamental belief from mine that all people are created in the image of God. They should all be treated with dignity and respect, Senator. Can you commit today to this committee that you will treat, if confirmed, that you would treat every litigant who came before you with respect and with dignity? Absolutely, Senator. I would not have allowed myself to be nominated for this. position if I did not think I could do that. Including members of the LGBT community and any other community that has been historically

disadvantaged in this country. Absolutely, Senator. Wow. What an insulting question. And this is just coming because of politics. Look at what we are doing to people. How are you ever going to get anyone decent to go through this process? to be able to lead us.

How are you ever going to do it? It's got to stop. Thank you so much, Hillary. I want to talk to you about real estate agents. That you trust or dot com? Yes, real estate agents I trust.com. Okay. All right, because if it's the ones you don't trust, I can't recommend them.

Really? Yeah, can't recommend them. I don't know about you. I've been thinking about, you know, they've been asking me this group of real estate agents, Hey, Glenn, we know you got the ones that you trust. How about real estate agents you don't trust? And I said, what will you do for people?

They say, we'll screw up your paperwork. We won't sell your house. Right. We'll just have open houses. Every weekend. So you can keep your house immaculate. And then we'll call when there's somebody that wants us showing. We'll call like 20 minutes before.

Perfect. But it'll be on like a Saturday night. Yeah. And then we won't call you and tell you what the people said. We'll just string you along. That's real estate agents. I don't trust.com. But the real estate agents I do

trust.com do the opposite of that. Oh, wow. And that's why I trust them. And you can too. Just let us know if you're trying to buy or sell a house, we'll find the right real estate agent in your area. It's real estate agents I trust.com. Thank you for that, Pat. Yeah, I'm happy to

help. No, no, no. That's... I just wanted to clarify. You are a helper. You are a helper. By the way, daylight savings time this weekend fall back. This time, 25 hours. You fall back. 25 hours.

The fusion of entertainment and delight. I was just telling Pat, and he said a lot of people don't know that, that daylight savings time is happening this year, this weekend. Usually you just fall back an hour. Right. This time, 25 hours. You fall a day and an hour back.

Wow. So you get a whole day and one more hour? One more hour. Wow. Yeah. So it's a special year. Set your calendar back. It's a daylight savings time weekend.

All right, I want to talk to you about what we're doing as a society. Because it ain't working. Nobody's convincing anything to anybody. Nobody is changing the hearts and minds of anybody. Maybe we should change tactics. There's somebody who really truly understands this and lived it. got kind of in reverse, was taught. It was probably, you know, probably one of the bigger problems in our country at one point

and had a change of heart saw the light. How do we change tactics and actually move forward? That in one minute. This is the Glenback program. Ah, Pat. Remember the days when, remember the days when you had a car that had a whole bunch of miles on it and then didn't have any warranty? Good times.

Oh, and when that light would go off, you'd be like, oh, yay. Look at that. Yes, I wonder what's wrong. I can't wait to find out. Yeah, that light works. I was wondering if that light worked, and we find out now it does work, the little one that says check engine.

Oh, that's super special. Now I get it go and find out how much it's going to cost. It's going to be great. Well, if you had Car Shield, you wouldn't have to worry about any of it. You could get your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work, which frequently is not the option. They provide 24-7 roadside assistance,

rental car while yours is being fixed for free. So don't let that little light... Don't let that little light scare you. Change the way you deal with car repairs by going to carsheel.com. CarShield.com. Or call 1-800 Car-6,000. Use the promo code back, and you're going to save 10%.

It's 1-800-car-6,000. Car-Shield. All right, when you say at least 15 years ago, hey, can you name a really horrible, divisive group? You could probably say, yeah, Westboro Baptist Church. Oh, yeah. But now we are all kind of, we're kind of turning into that. We see that everywhere now. We see people screaming these things at each other.

America has become an online version in many cases of the Westboro. Burrow Baptist Church, not necessarily screaming the same things, but being just as vile and mean and awful. Well, Megan Phelps, she's a writer and an activist and a former member of the Phelps family, member of the Westboro Baptist Church. And she joins us now. She has a new book called Unfollow. Welcome, Megan.

How are you? I am wonderful. What about you? I'm good. Good to have you on the program again. First of all, can I ask you, you kept the name Phelps. You're Megan Phelps roper. And Phelps is one of those words, you know, like we say, your name is mud around here. That's because the guy who is helping John Wilkes booth, his name was mud.

The doctor was mud. Phelps is kind of one of those names. Why did you keep it? I wanted to reform it. You know, my name, Megan Phelpschroper for a very long time, it meant, as my family would say, God hates fags. And I didn't want it to mean that anymore. I wanted to change. I wanted to take it back.

And, you know, my husband recently, we've been talking about, you know, we want to start a nonprofit at some point. And he had the idea of calling it the Westboro Foundation. Because I want people when they hear Westboro to not think of people who celebrate tragedies and death, but people who are there when tragedies happen to help people who are suffering. I mean, in some ways, it's what Chip and Joanna did for Waco, Texas, but it was, I mean, that wasn't, that wasn't personally them. And you have a, I mean, you were, you were there on the front lines. Tell me, tell the audience, I know who you were, but tell the audience who you were and how you changed. So Westboro Baptist Church was started by my grandfather, and it's almost entirely my extended family. So,

my mother was the de facto spokesperson for a very long time, and I was right there. I grew up right at her elbow. I'm the third of 11 children. I'm her oldest daughter, so she called me her right hand, and I was right there in the middle of it. I was a hardcore believer, a zealous believer in everything that Westboro taught, and I defended them in the media. I was the one who took our message to social media initially, and helped with all

the logistical work, you know, orchestrating the protest. So I was not, I was not, you know, as I put it, I said I was all in. That's how I felt. And then the- Before you change, before you talk about how you changed, was there ever any discussion like, hey, guys, I don't think this is working. This approach is not working. Was there ever any discussion like that? No, because for Westboro, you know, they do not use conversion numbers.

as a metric of their success. They don't believe that, you know, changing hearts and minds is in their power because they believe in predestination. So only God can change someone's heart. And so we basically saw our, you know, we measured our success as the amount of publicity that we were getting because all we were trying to do was publish this message that we thought was the Word of God. So from that perspective, we were very successful.

We were all, I mean, you know, pop culture phenomena, you know, true blood, that, you know, really popular series on HBO, the opening credits included, you know, God Hates Fangs, you know, which is part of our, you know, just a play on our God hates gays message. But so it's, you know, for them, they just, that's, they weren't trying to change people's minds. And that's why they, to change, the idea of changing tactics didn't even occur to them. And when people would insist that they should, that it was biblical for them to change tactics, for us to change tactics. We basically just dismiss them out of hand. So Megan, when you are away from this now and your eyes have been opened and you know what you were part of and your family is a part of and you

know what's true and what's not, how difficult is it for you to look at our society today? and to see what people are doing online, on air, everything, and not just cry out, you fools, what are you doing? Well, I can't say you fools, because I was exactly where so many people are now. I know how seductive that way of seeing things is, you know, the appeal of absolute certainty. You know, my grandfather used to say that it was. is there's something wonderfully liberating in the idea that in the notion, the knowledge, that you are 100% right.

And he believed that. He believed that we were 100% right with no possibility of error because we, again, we had the word of God. And so when I see this, you know, this spirit, kind of the same spirit, taking over, you know, the whisperization of politics in American culture generally, I know, I know why people are drawn to it. and I understand the group dynamics that lead people to it, but I also know how incredibly destructive it is to see the world that way and how ineffective it is to try to change hearts and minds to come to, you know,

collective to compromise how difficult that is to do when you have completely demonized anyone who doesn't agree with you on everything, anyone who steps outside of the party line on any notion. It's not good. It's interesting because I wrote in one of my books, I think it was my last one where I said, the only thing I am now certain of is that I'm not certain of anything. It is our certainty that is dividing us. And it feels different than what you went through because you see and you claim what's

happening over here is evil. And I know the difference between good and evil, and this is just this movement is evil. But that's what you guys thought. Yeah, and that's the thing. If you are only looking at things from your perspective, you know, you are looking at current events in light of your own experiences. And if you cut yourself off from trying to understand why other people have come to different conclusions. If you just attribute it to, you know, this person is evil, they are ill-intentioned, you are immediately cutting yourself off from really understanding that person and what has led them to those conclusions. Right. And it doesn't, it doesn't mean that you are going to change your point of view or, uh, or, uh, that you're not necessarily

on the right track, but you don't understand that you are limiting, um, yourself. by not listening to how other people got there or viewed it because they are going to teach you something. And if you close yourself off to that, you end up alone, right? Yeah, absolutely. And there, you know, there is this instinct that I think is very human. You know, when we encounter people that we believe are doing and believing destructive things, the instinct that we have is to isolate ourselves from them. You know, we don't want to endorse them.

We don't want to have any part with what they're involved in. And again, I think that's a very human response. You know, you're trying to shame them into changing. The problem is that when the divide is as great as it is now in so many different spheres, you know, I was talking to an anthropologist last year, and she explained the feeling of shame as, you know, the feeling that we get when we know that we have violated the norms of our community. And so, you know, for me, Westboro was my community,

and I didn't have any community outside of that. I felt completely alienated from the rest of the world. It was this very us-them mentality. And so when other people, outsiders, attempted to shame me, I felt pride. I was, I was happy that they, that they thought I was wrong because I thought they were evil. So clearly, it just reinforces your sense of righteous. What's the difference between this and moral relativity? I think you're, I don't believe that you have to, like, have no opinions about things.

Like, I don't think that you. you have to say, well, I can't, when you said certainty is the root of this, for me, I totally agree, this toxic sense of certainty in your own righteousness. It's not, it's not that you don't have opinions or that you don't have strong values and strong beliefs, it's that you hold them a bit more loosely because you understand that there is information and experiences outside of your own, which are necessarily limited, that can and should change the way you see things. We have to be willing to listen because, not because we are trying to, you know, say that, okay, white supremacy is okay, or whatever the specific issue is, it's that what is that what is in

this that I can learn from? And how can we build a bridge from where they are to where I am? So show us how we need to change our behavior. You know, your book is called Unfollow. and you're not necessarily saying disengage from social media. You, because at least I don't think, because that's what changed you. Was somebody using social media in the right way? So what's the right way to approach this or another way? Yeah. So I gave a TED talk a couple of years ago about this.

This was, I think the last time I was on, that it was basically detailing. these strategies that people used with me. So the first was to don't assume bad intent, because, again, you need to understand what is actually motivating this person. I think very few people are actually deliberately trying to do things that they know are evil or wrong. They have somehow become convinced that this is the right way. And so you need to understand where they're coming from if you're going to actually

reach them. The second is to ask questions. Partly, again, to help you understand where they are, where they're coming, coming from, but also partly as a signal to them that they're being heard. And so, you know, there's this reciprocal thing that happens where, you know, somebody, you ask them questions and they go through their whole position, they explain it all to you, and then they get to the end, and there's this natural, you know, sense of reciprocation often where they want to know what you think, where are you coming from? And how is... And it's not asking questions, it's asking honest

questions. It's asking questions of, I want to know, not questions that will get them to change their mind because I'm going to have a, I know the answer to this one. Right. Yes. Okay. And then the third is to stay calm, which is, you know, as you see in conversations on social media, on television, all over the place, it's really difficult, right? It seems like right now to be able to stay calm in these discussions because we, these are conversations about deeply held values and disagreements that we cannot fathom how somebody has come to a different place. And so if we can be very intentional and about keeping, you know, keeping the hostility level as low as possible, trying to acknowledge, you know, that the other person is coming from a place of genuine disagreement and to be able to

tolerate that. Like this is, you know, embodying the value of tolerance. I think it's really important. So that's the third step. And then the fourth is to make your argument. You know, and again, this is one of those things that sounds very obvious. But when we have these deeply held values, there is this, you know, this sense that anybody that is a decent person would have already come to the same conclusions that I have. And so we end up

not actually articulating the defenses and the argument for our position. So we actually need to do that. And then, you know, I think I mentioned this last time too, the fifth point that I would say that was not in my TED talk because I ran out of time, but it would be to be patient because people don't change these kinds of deeply held values overnight, like in a moment. Like even, even though I can look back in my own experience to how my mind changed over time. I can point to several moments where I absolutely became aware that there was a contradiction in what I believed. And what it caused me to do was kind of to shut down momentarily, right? And that's what happens to human beings. As we, you know, this cognitive dissonance, like to finally come to the place where we understand,

wow, maybe there is something wrong with my position. Maybe I need to reconsider this. And if you push that, you know, if you try to use that, you know, as a gotcha moment, that's, people react very negatively to that. Yeah, it pushes us. Exactly. It pushes you deeper into your position. Megan, I think you're a remarkable, remarkable woman. And your message is so powerful and and right on the money and right for this time. I urge everybody in the audience to read this and share this with people. What she lays out is, look, what we're doing isn't working. We have to change tactics.

And I think she has a remarkable message. The name of the book is Unfollow, Megan Phelps Roper. Unfollow. It's available wherever you buy books currently. Thank you so much, Megan. God bless. Thank you, thank you. You bet.

Cybercriminals today have grown both in numbers and sophistication when it comes to finding ways to remove you from your money. And the absolute worst thing you can do is ignore it. It's worse than just making sure you. you've got your hand on the wallet at all times. Your identity is floating out in cyberspace most of the time. And to assume that you're going to escape some sort of incursion in the world where cyber crime is increasing rather than decreasing is really fairly foolish. The good news is there's LifeLock. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats and keeps you informed if and when someone out there is trying to get a hold of or sell your information online.

David Mallor is a guy who you've never really heard of. most likely, but you know his work. And I have a podcast with him this weekend that I so strongly urge you to look into. We'll talk about it here in just a second. So, Pat, looking at the list of the things that she just put down, let's just look at this with impeachment. Why are people going after, why is the DNC besides politics? Why is the DNC pushing this and why is this working with, you know, Democrats?

I think it's hatred. I think they just absolutely hate Donald Trump. I think if you phrase it the way she just did, they assume bad intent. You just assume bad intent. And haven't they done that from the start with Trump? From the very start, from the very start. they're not listening to, well, what are the questions? Wait, what are we really talking about here? Let's listen and ask him questions on what are you doing or you can't really ask him but see, like for instance, the chalkboard and open your eyes to a different perspective.

Stay calm. And yet make your stand and make your argument. we're violating all of these as a society every single day. And when is it that the group of us are all going to wake up and go, maybe you should try something different? You notice that, and I meant to ask her before she left, if her family is still doing this because you'd never hear about them anymore. Probably because the Westboro Baptist Church,

because everybody's like the Westboro Baptist Church now. Right. Every time you see a protest, it's like those people. And so it's not even uncommon. They're not even, I don't think they even raise any interest in the media anymore because we see that every weekend everywhere. It's amazing. Especially you're right. I wish I would have asked that question of her because especially if they are still active.

Yeah. You don't ever hear about them. Never. Not for years now. And I think you're right. It is we've all become. It's too common. Yeah. We're all that in one way or another. We're all calling each other horrible names, especially in the virtual world.

All right, back in a minute. I want to talk to you about the dynamic variable lumbar support. The dynamic variable lumbar support system only is available with X-Chair. And X-Chair is 100% the chair you need. It's comfortable. It's stylish. It has 10 different. adjustments on it. This is not

a back chair. This is a chair that is just super, super comfortable and if you happen to have back problems, it's just the best because of the variable lumbar support system. This is the best chair for an office that you can buy

at about half the price of what everybody says is the best chair you could buy for your office. I urge you to check this out and try it out. You know, they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, so it's not If it's not everything I say it is, they'll come and pick it up. You just ship it back at their expense.

She was, her son was three at the time, said, Mom, you're fat. And she decided, I've got to stop. I've got to stop. And so she started working out, and now she's thin and beautiful.

Oh. And hopefully the authorities. Is this son in jail, though? I was going to say, hopefully the authorities have put that kid away for fat shaming. If he ever fat shames again, you can't have that. Yeah. You can't have it. Fireside chat on live television.

Trump says he wants to read the Ukraine called transcript to the American people. Now, it's interesting because this is what I said after we did the chalkboard about a month ago. I said, president should do a fireside chat. he should now I also added he needs to really be prepared for that and he needs to just take people through it and I think I also then said he's probably not the guy to do it because I don't know if he's that disciplined but we'll we'll see is there was there a date attached to that he hasn't he just said he wants to do it sometime soon at some point I'm going to sit down perhaps is a fireside chat on live television. And I'll read the transcript of the call because people have to hear it. When you read it, it's a straight call.

It's a perfect call. I love the perfect call thing. All right. A Brooklyn pimp named Sugar Bear on... Wow. Is that the Sugar Bear that saved my life tonight with Elton John? No. Oh, okay.

This is a different sugar bear. A different sugar bear. This sugar bear. is a Brooklyn pimp that's on trial for killing his prostitute girlfriend. But he said, I didn't kill her. I just chopped her up and put her head in my freezer. For what reason? He didn't want to be blamed.

Oh, well, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. So this is another sugar bear. This is one that didn't save her life, but didn't kill her either. No. He didn't kill her. He just chopped her up.

My life tonight. Sugar bear. Well, okay, so if somebody finds your girlfriend's head in your freezer, they're certainly not going to suspect that you killed her, right? No, no. Why did you, but you chopped her up? You just wanted to stash her there. I wanted to keep her close.

I wanted to keep her close. And, you know, I'm in the freezer for ice cream a lot. Makes sense. Yeah. It really makes sense. So Julie Clark told the Brooklyn jury he didn't want to go to jail. He didn't want to be blamed. He had no motive to kill his main moneymaker, but he did cut her body up.

She then conceded, this is the attorney, she then conceded, look, he's not a nice man. He's not someone you want with your daughter, but you don't have to like his lifestyle. That's very true. I don't want him dating my daughters. That's very, very true. Yeah. Police closed in on Moses after finding the body parts at a Bronx waste transfer station, tracing them to his apartment where they alleged were found blood splatters and frozen appendages.

They were found under a pile of frozen foods and meats in his freezer. he was charged with concealing the body parts for 10 days after the slaying. But again, he said, hey, I only chopped her up. I didn't kill her. Does he have any ideas on who did kill her? O.J. Simpson. Okay. O.J. Simpson.

But O.J. swears he was on the golf course. This weekend, something that the farmers always get blamed for. Not true. it was actually to be more environmentally friendly and not burn as much coal. It's daylight savings time this weekend. Finally. They pushed that back.

Has it been, what, a month or six weeks? I think it's a month on both ends, right? Isn't that what they did? I don't, I'm not, I haven't, I'm not following the... You're not following the saga of the daylight savings time? And it's actually, we're both saying, it wrong. It's daylight saving time. There's no S in savings.

Right. Right. Leave the S off. For savings. Savings. Saving. Saving. Saving. Saving. I hate daylight saving time. I wanted to go away completely. I just want to be on standard time the whole year. I think it's time. Okay. No, I disagree with you. I like it this one weekend. I hate it in the spring. Very much so.

But I don't know why we don't just fall. back in the spring and the summer. Just keep falling back. An hour both times. Yeah. An hour both time. Just fall back an hour. Or if you, you know, you're like, well, then the days would be screwed up.

Okay. Then fall back a few, fall back 24 hours or 23 hours in the spring. Then we all win. We're always getting extra time that way. I'm not sure it works like that. Well, I don't know why it doesn't. We can make it. We can make it.

So if we can have health care for all, we can certainly fall back 23 hours. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Let me take you here. Tomorrow, I have a podcast that comes out every Saturday. We have a really fascinating podcast. This is one of my favorite stories. this is the story about a man who has had an incredible life.

He grew up wanting to be a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. And that's all he wanted to do. And he worked so hard his whole life. And he got a scholarship to go to college. He just graduates from high school. And he has a scholarship to go to go to school. and he's going to be on the baseball team, and he's a pitcher, and he's a good one.

And he's walking in a parking lot one night. And he realizes, I've left my wallet in the car, and they were headed towards McDonald's. I've got to go back out in the parking lot and get my wallet. You stay here. I'll be right back. Listen to how he describes the day that changed his life.

So you were on your way. You may not have been a pitcher, for the Red Sox, but you were on your way to some sort of career in baseball, you thought. Yes, sir. You're 18. Yes, sir. What happens? Well, a month after I got out of high school, we had qualified for a state tournament,

and my coach said, before you signed scholarship, and why don't you wait until we go to the state tournament? And if you do well, you're going to get more offers. I said, that sounds great. And so about 10 days before that tournament, I had gone to, to see a movie with one of my buddies. And we got out of the movie and there's beautiful sunset. And there's a saying, red sky at night, sailors delight.

I'm really superstitious. And so I thought, that's a great sign of things to come. And so we're driving. He says, how about if we stop and get a bite to eat? And so we saw McDonald's. And so he pulled into the parking lot and parked on the side of the right side of the entrance across from the door. And we got out and started walking across the parking lot.

And I realized I forgot my wallet. And so he says, hey, I'm going to go ahead and go in. And I went back to the car to get my wallet and picked my wallet up and closed the door and started taking a few steps toward the door. And I heard a car come off the street quickly and stop suddenly. I looked up and the two people in the car, the driver and the passenger had opened their doors and were changing positions to the other person was going to drive. stopped and waited for them to get in. And when they got in and shut the doors, I motioned for them

to go ahead and drive through to get to the drive-through. And they motioned for me to start walking and go ahead and go. So I started walking and I heard them rev their engine and squeal their tires. And I had enough time to turn and I lifted my left leg and put both my hands up. And the car was speeding right at me and I didn't have time to move anywhere else and the car hit me threw me 20 feet in the air and I slammed into the door the brick wall right where the corner of the door jotted out and luckily I landed right in the corner I slammed into the brick wall landed in a pile at the base of the corner of the wall and when I looked up the car was coming at a higher rate of speed.

And the car hit the metal handrail, sparks flew, and the car's metal bumper pinned the handrail and the car's bumper against my knee against the wall. And, you know, the engine is revving and the car exhaust is, you know, I'm having a hard time breathing, and I can see the lady just staring at me over the steering wheel. And I'm screaming at her to.

Please stop. Please stop. He goes on. He has multiple surgeries. He has nightmares. He has PTSD. But this is before anybody was diagnosing PTSD. And he gets married.

He has all kinds of problems because he cannot sleep at night. Do we know why this happened to him? This was a woman who just freaked out and stepped on the gas instead of the break all of a sudden and just was. freaking out. Yeah, I know. Then years go by, he learns to walk again. Okay. He can't even walk. Wow. He goes through therapy. He has a doctor that screws it up and his leg just snaps after surgery. So he's got all these problems. He finally gets a job as a groundskeeper because he wants to, you know, he wants to play baseball, but he can't. So maybe I can just be a groundskeeper. So he goes up and he's working for the Milwaukee Brewers, and they're doing a whole new field for them. And so they have

everybody off, and the doors, the gates to the field are open one Saturday as they're redoing this field. And this woman, another woman, in a car. A different woman. A different woman in a different city, years later, guns it, comes through the gate and starts doing, you know, wheelies around the diamond. She's just going around the diamond. He starts running for the fence line and he hears in the background, he hears that she is coming again towards him now. And he looks behind and here she is.

and she runs him down. On purpose. On purpose. So she hasn't freaked out. Yeah, no. She is crazy. This woman's crazy. Okay.

So he's unbelievable. He's hit again. Twice. Right. It's crazy. Gosh. You don't know this guy by name, but you know his work because he finally got a job at the Boston Red Sox. And he's the guy.

He's the first guy to cut the pattern of like the flag or the logo in the grass. Wow. He's the first guy to do that. And his story is amazing. It's an actual story that I purchased his life story probably 10 years ago. I wanted to play it and wanted to do a book and a movie on it. Could never get it done. And I felt so bad because it's such a great story.

I just gave him the rights back. He's got a new book out. It's called One Base at a Time. Listen to this podcast. You've never heard. anybody like David before.

We're just talking about one base at a time, new book out of the groundskeeper of Boston Red Sox. And his story is just absolutely remarkable.

Run over twice by freaky women? Yeah. Really weird. Yeah, really weird. Years and years apart in two different cities. Yeah. The coincidence in his life is just, it's remarkable. Were you nervous when you walked off the set?

with him that there was going to be a car that burst through the walls and... Well, no, he was actually more concerned because Mr. Kool-Aid used to do that to me all the time. Oh, wow. Yeah, he'd just break through my wall and then he'd body slam me. He's not. That son of a bit is not. He's not a nice guy. He's not a nice guy. I know a lot of people are like, oh, Mr. Kool-Aid's here. No. Yeah. He's a psycho. Well, I mean, how many gigantic containers of Kool-Aid do you know that are smashed through people's walls when they could go right through the gate or door.

If the guy would just use his power for good as opposed to evil. It could have changed the world. Imagine how popular Kool-Aid would be if he wasn't breaking into people's houses and pinning the children against the walls. So we didn't even talk about his car stuff. We kind of got focused on my Mr. Kool-Aid tragedy that I've carried around for years. This is actually a podcast that you will enjoy.
