Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network. On demand. Courage. Truth. Glenn. Corey Booker. Yesterday. Do we have the audio?
Starting point is 00:00:29 I do want to give you a chance to speak about your comments on gay and lesbians. You said in a speech that mourning in America that endorses perversion and calls it an alternative lifestyle is your word. is being gay a perversion. Okay, can I ask? I mean, what does this have to do with the Secretary of State? What does this have to do? I mean, are we going to get into negotiations with Kim Jong-un about this? He wanted to know about gay sex?
Starting point is 00:01:04 Cory Booker, stop the campaigning for just a second, will you? All right. If you want to know where this is headed, let me just start here. you should read about Salem, Massachusetts in 1693. Witchcraft is not what's on trial here. Faith, religious doctrine, Christianity. That's what's on trial here. Because that's what happened.
Starting point is 00:01:34 Booker was trying to pull out of the closet. Christianity. He was trying Pompeo's Christianity. What would Pompeo, what would Pompeo, what would have happened if he would have taken the bait? What would be the follow-up question? Are you or are you not a Christian? Are you now or have you ever been a Christian? How many times do you pray?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Do you go to church every week? what I mean, what it's what what what's what what's the follow up? Is my constitution copy the one that I have different than everybody else is because in mine freedom of religion is covered under the first amendment. In fact, it's in the first amendment to make sure that there was no religious litmus test to be able to serve in the government. You didn't have to believe one thing that somebody else didn't believe. This is why it's in the Constitution, because you used to have to go to a certain church and believe in a certain thing.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Our founder said, nope, everybody can, doesn't matter what church you go to. It doesn't matter if you don't go to church. It doesn't matter. Should it matter that Pompeo believes that gay sex is a sin? Or can we think what we want? Can we all believe, see, this is an argument my daughter and I had years ago, and now she has come to me and said, oh, wow, wait a minute, this isn't about love. No, it wasn't. It was for the average person. It was for the average person. Hey, I have a right to love who I want to love. You do. Okay, good. The government shouldn't be in this business of marriage at all. But there was a lot of other people. or it wasn't about love. It was about control.
Starting point is 00:03:51 It was about getting everybody else to believe and think what they believe and think. See, I thought that was the problem. I thought that was the problem that people had with religious people, that they were always trying to get you to believe and think exactly what they believe and think. I've always thought, let's leave each other alone. But I can't figure out for the life of me, a group of people, how a group of people who have been forced to live in a closet, forced to not be who they are, how all of a sudden they want to force other people into their way of thinking.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Will every Christian belief soon be on trial in the hollowed halls of Washington, D.C.? I mean, I know we're not going to try other religions, just Christianity. Will everything Christians view as sinful suddenly make them inadequate or disqualified from public service? Look, I have to tell you, I don't have a problem with Christianity at all. I have a problem with Christians. Sure. Jesus, save me from your followers. I think that an awful lot.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Because none of us are living it. I mean, I don't know if I can be called a Christian. Or I should say, I don't know if Jesus would call me a Christian. I would hope so, but I don't know. Christianity is absolutely under attack. We all have to start living it. But you can't tell me that if Keith Ellison, a practicing Muslim, was sitting in the same spot,
Starting point is 00:05:50 that he'd be given the same question. They wouldn't have dared ask Keith Ellison anything like that about his religion. but Pompeo's Christianity, it's fair game. For some reason, it's easier for them to believe that a Muslim is capable of being both religious and able to champion secular rights of people, but a Christian isn't somehow. I mean, Muslims in the Middle East are throwing gay people off of rooftops, but we won't question that. And quite honestly, I don't think we have to question that. We have to know, do you want to throw people off rooftops?
Starting point is 00:06:37 But that wasn't okay for Pompeo to say. Pompeo said yesterday that, look, I've treated everybody the same. My view is my view, but I treat everybody the same. Okay, then I'm cool with that. Hey, Mr. Keith Ellison, do you believe that homosexuality is a sin? Can't ask that question. I don't want to. I want to ask this.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And I think I know the, I think, I think I know the answer. Keith Ellison. Do you believe the people are right throwing gay people off the rooftops? He's going to say, no. Okay. Does anybody remember this comment? I believe that marriage is not just a bond. but a sacred bond between a man and a woman.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Okay, Hillary Clinton breezed through her confirmation in near record time. Did you notice that no one asked her about the heresy of declaring marriage as being between a man and a woman? If it's so pivotal being the Secretary of State, why didn't they ask her that? Oh, because she learned, no, she didn't. she was either lying then or she is lying now. She only came to this enlightened position when it became popular in the polls. Now maybe they didn't ask her because her last name is Clinton. But it's also because Christianity is under attack like never before.
Starting point is 00:08:28 We all have to put on the full armor of God because we ain't headed any. place good and the witchcraft trials are coming soon. It's Friday, April 13th. This is the Glenn Beck program. It's shameful what's going on. But as long as we're living our lives the way we're supposed to be, as long as we humble ourselves and as long as we live in love, I think we're going to be okay. It's going to just get harder and harder to do.
Starting point is 00:09:13 And we've got 12 warships setting sail for Syria. This no longer sounds like a little missile strike. And we have telegraphed what we're going to do. And so Syria is moving all of their armaments onto Russian bases, which is going to make it even harder. And we're building a coalition. And apparently Donald Trump and John Bolton want to send a strong message, and the Pentagon is warning we're one mistake away here.
Starting point is 00:09:43 from having a war with Russia. Bringing in Jason Betrille, who is senior advisor and researcher, specializing in military and foreign operations. Hello, Jason. Howdy. So what are we heading for here? Twelve warships. So we've got a carrier strike.
Starting point is 00:10:04 I think it's the Truman heading in that direction. So that's about a total of six ships, the aircraft carrier, and its support group. and then we also already have four destroyers in that area already with two submarines. So this is one of the larger buildups that we've seen probably since the Iraq invasion. A big difference there was there was six aircraft carriers. So there was a lot of firepower, but that was an invasion. This is obviously not an invasion, but this is still a very large buildup of firepower.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Now, if you consider the coalition that you talked about this building with the UK and France, if they even match that together by half, each country, then we're looking at a significant force. Now, what that tells us is that they're not going to do what they did last time. It's not just going to be 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at a random airport, you know, Syrian base, and a few planes. And by the way, that airfield that we hit last time was operational in a matter of hours. So that last track did nothing.
Starting point is 00:11:03 So that's what Mattis is telling Donald Trump right now. He's saying, look, what we did last time didn't really do anything. It didn't do anything. It didn't deter chemical weapons use because they're still using them like crazy. It didn't do anything. So what you have to do now, if you don't want to do something pointless, is go all in. You need to build a coalition. You need to strike multiple targets and actually do something that's going to cause a thing.
Starting point is 00:11:25 What are we doing? And what does all in mean? All in means an invasion. It means a full war, right? Is that what you think they should do? Or are they even considering that? Because they tend to deny that they're even considering that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Well, I don't think an invasion is, is, is, is quote unquote all in on this. Okay. I think that they're looking to significantly, the only thing that we would make, they would justify this is if they damage him enough that regime change would come organically. They would, you know, come out. You know, so the thing that changed the face of the war was Russian air power. So coalition, NATO coalition air power would reverse that. So, ala, you know, Libya, Gaddafi, something along those lines.
Starting point is 00:12:10 that kind of, that would be their all-in. And luckily, Libya worked out really well. Great. That was a home run. We create this power vacuum. That's not going to be good because Iran is going to sweep in. Right? You're exactly right.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And the Joint Chiefs have actually said that before. They've made hints on the ones. So what are we doing? What do you think the plan is? That's a very good question. I don't think they've had a plan for a very long time. They've handed the area over to Iran. They've got no plans about what to do now.
Starting point is 00:12:46 So Iran is basically just taking over Syria, Iraq. We've got no plans. We're sitting there with the Kurds, wondering what the heck do we do? All the time our NATO ally is coming down and killing the Kurds. So we're sitting there like saying, hey, you know, basically these Kurdish forces are our only footprint in this country. If we give in, which I believe we will, and let Turkey go ahead and take the Kurds out, then what's our plan? So now, really, they're looking at, okay, we have to give the Kurds to Turkey. They got to.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I don't want that to happen, but they really have to. Do you side with the Kurds or do you give into a NATO ally? They're going to give into the NATO ally. It shouldn't have been a NATO ally in the first place. Completely agree. So we have the Syrian government and Hezbollah. They have reportedly evacuated the weapons from key locations, and Assad has moved his planes to the Russian-operated bases.
Starting point is 00:13:37 he's no dummy. So what about? We can't, we can't hit a Russian base. You would hope not. But that is exactly what Mattis said in this, in the elite conversations in their meeting yesterday, was that Bolton and Trump were like, yeah, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:13:52 But Madison Dunford were like, whoa, like, there's significant chance for a mistake to happen here, which has been there since we've, since the coalition against ISIS has happened. But never so more than now, right now. So if we do actually say, okay, forget that, we're still going to go all in quote unquote and go for some of these military assets? What if we make a mistake on our end and take out a couple Russian troops?
Starting point is 00:14:15 This will spiral out of control. What if they just what if their S-400 missile system, which is the most advanced one in the world, kicks off and downs a B-2 bomber or a raptor or any other coalition aircraft? This will spiral out of control. The chances for a mistake here are huge and the consequences are catastrophic. We haven't been in a situation like this. I don't think in an armed military, when have we ever during the Cold War been this close to Russian or Soviet soldiers?
Starting point is 00:14:42 It sounds like as, Cuban missile crisis. Exactly. It sounds as if you're saying it's not worth the risk. Is that, is that your, I mean, if you had to break it down,
Starting point is 00:14:50 is that what you think? Yeah, I, exactly. I don't, I don't think it's worth the risk. And if they, if they believe it's worth the risk, it's such heavy consequences,
Starting point is 00:15:00 this has to go to Congress. Has to. And regardless, even if they're going, to do that, if it's not just a limited little strike like last year, they have to go to Congress. This has to be put to a vote.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Here's what's really disturbing to me. If you look at like the front page of the Drudge reporter, really pretty much anybody, you're not seeing this lead because nobody's clicking on that story. You're just not clicking on that story because it hasn't, nobody's given this perspective yet. Nobody has said, wait a minute, wait a minute,
Starting point is 00:15:29 wait a minute, wait a minute. Stop talking about Comey. Stop talking, stop promoting his new book. Yeah, but he was shaking his hands and he made a mental note that his hands weren't as small as had been reported. Did you hear that? Did you guys hear that? That's incredible. What an incredible leak.
Starting point is 00:15:45 This is what we're concentrating on. And the press is letting us down again. But this time, it may have serious consequences for the entire republic quickly because we cannot go into war with Russia. and it seems as though that's the way we're moving, and that's the way the rest of the world is moving. Can we pause for a second and have a conversation? You're right, Jason.
Starting point is 00:16:16 This needs to go to Congress. Congress needs to rule on this one, because the consequences are far too high. They're far too great here to just have somebody, make the decision and go in and do something where it could clearly be World War III, if they would shoot down a B-2 or if we would hit their planes and their men, and they responded by launching at our battle group, and they sunk a ship or two? Can you even imagine? I don't want war with Russia. At least I don't want one that just starts on a Tuesday. And, and
Starting point is 00:17:02 And we're all looking at each other Wednesday going, wait, wait, wait, what the hell just happened? America, we've got to wake up. We've got to have serious conversations. Stop talking about James Comey. And as I say that, CNN has their interview with James Comey. All right, let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Thanks so much to ZipRecruiter.

Glenn Beck, Mercury, Glenn Beck. So President Trump now is set to pardon Scooter Libby. It's a brilliant piece of strategy. It is.
Starting point is 00:19:12 First of all, Comey appointed the person who brought the charges against him, so it's kind of sticking in the face of Comey. Yeah, but more importantly? More importantly, it sends a great message to anyone who might do something, which is if you're loyal to the president, Guess who gets pardoned? Guess who gets pardoned in the end. By the way, completely Trump's right to do.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I don't think he's wrong in pardoning Scooter Libby. I think the charges were largely nonsense against him anyway. So he's not doing anything wrong here, but the timing is a nice piece of strategy. It's a heck of a nice piece of strategy because it sends dual messages, kind of a middle finger to James Comey, and at the same time, a reminder to people who may or may not talk to, certain special counsel that if you
Starting point is 00:20:00 stay loyal that in the end there might be something good. Look at what Washington and the media are circling around. I mean, pardoning Scooter Libby, we're being told by Russia that we're on the eve
Starting point is 00:20:18 of World War III and this is what the press and Washington is dealing with. Glenn, Mercury is the Glenback program. There is a new show starting tonight on PBS called In Principle. It is hosted, try this out for sight. It's hosted by Amy Holmes, who was with us.
Starting point is 00:20:55 She was, I think, like employee number two or three of the blaze. She was our news anchor for years, a conservative. and Michael Gershund, who it was a speech writer for George W. Bush, a senior advisor for Bush, also a conservative. Grace, I think her last name is Coulter. She is the senior producer or the series producer. And I think she was hired by PBS from Sinclair. So I don't know how any of this happened, but it's on. PBS, of all places, a conservative talk show, and I'm going to be a guest on it tonight.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Welcome to Amy and Michael. How are you? Good morning. Doing great. Glad to be with you. So, first of all, do you guys have any comment on how this, I mean, is it the rapture in 10 days that brought this show to PBS? No, they came to us, WTOA here in Washington. I think they've been wanting to do a program like this for a while. You know, a program, it's not an ideological program. We deal with things broadly, but the topics are of interest to people in the center and center-right, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:15 And, you know, the goal is to have sort of a civil discussion about not the issues of the day, but really sort of the ideas beneath the news, what's going on in the realm of ideas. and they came to us, so we were honored to do it. Michael, let me ask you, because you were in the White House with Bush from 2001 to 2006. I'm really disturbed by what things look like we're doing or preparing to do over in Syria. I'm not really sure, but things are really quite tense. What was it like when you were in the White House on days like this or weeks like this? Well, we had too many of them, you know, with 9-11 and Afghanistan and Iraq, surge in Iraq.
Starting point is 00:23:06 These were, you know, extraordinary days. My fear is that the process in the White House seems to be chaotic. I trust some of the actors like Secretary Mattis at the Defense Department, who was really a thoughtful and responsible guy. But when you have the president announcing policies in tweets and then withdrawing them in tweets, you know, you've crossed some line. I'm fearful about the process and the way they make decisions, which seems to be chaotic. And process can really matter when it comes to life and death decisions.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Are we preparing for war? Do you guys think? Amy, do you think are we preparing for war? I don't know if we're preparing for war. And I don't think that... Not for the president. No, she's there. She's there. So we can hear her.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Michael, you probably can't. Go ahead, Amy. Yeah. I don't think that we're necessarily preparing for war. And the president, I don't think, has signaled that. I don't think the American people want more engagement in the Middle East. I think there's actually fatigue about engagement in the Middle East. And, of course, the president campaigned on.
Starting point is 00:24:20 So what did we get out of all of this? It doesn't seem particularly clear. and then after eight years of the Obama administration and the Middle East becoming even more chaotic, I think the American people are certainly not prepared for that. I don't know about the process in terms of decision-making. We saw that there was the bombing after the chemical attack, you know, some months ago by the president. But I don't think that he's geared enough for some sort of full-scale military conflict. I hope you're right.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Corey Booker yesterday went after Pompeo's Christianity. Does that have a place in a hearing for the head of the State Department? Well, that's the first time hearing of it. Can you give us a few more detail? In fact, we have no religious tests for office in the United States. That's part of the Constitution. This is raised its head also in judicial nominations. particularly with Catholics, where their faith is questioned, are they going to be unbiased,
Starting point is 00:25:32 as though religious people can't make judgments about law and fact. So I think that this is one of the problems, is a kind of secularism that says religious motivations and views are somehow off limits as though other people don't have their own philosophic approaches and views. It's kind of privileging a secular perspective instead of saying we all are informed by our most basic beliefs and should be. So, yeah, I think that's a serious problem when you create a suspect class based on religious belief. I'm really excited to have a new show with conservative perspective that everybody's going to be able to see. I think it's a really exciting thing. Amy, though, answer me this question.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Should I be excited? because the first guest is Glenn Beck. Does he say anything in this interview that will end our careers? No, you should not be excited at all about Glenn Beck being on TV. Of course, of course. And, you know, we were discussing this after our interview that we're there for open conversation. And viewers, listeners, when they watch tonight, they're going to get that. They're going to get thoughtful discussion.
Starting point is 00:27:03 And Glenn, you were asked very directly by my co-vote, Michael, about some of the motivations that are built into the structure of media, like getting rating, getting more clicks, getting more likes, getting more upvote. And how does that influence possibly content for hosts and guests and so forth? And Glenn, you were pretty candid about that. You're just like, yeah. Well, I would. It matters.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I will tell you this, that I've done obviously a lot of interviews, and I was really impressed the way you two work together and how you let me answer. And it wasn't a, it wasn't a jump on every word that I say. It was, you know, had some tough questions, obviously, but it was a chance to actually speak without being interrupted and, and without argument, just honest questions, which I don't see very often. Well, that's the goal of our show. That's the goal of, you know, when the show was conceived, it's just like there's a lot of the sort of World Wrestling Federation of Politics on cable news, and you see people in their corners and the bell rings and they go to battle. And we felt like
Starting point is 00:28:20 there's a real hunger and a real need to have a more expansive, thoughtful, and illuminating conversation about the politics, policies, and issues that really matter. And so, So that's what we're 80 for. Well, guys, thank you so much. We will be watching tonight, 8.30 Eastern Time. It happens on Fridays, following Washington Week. Fridays on PBS. It's called In Principle.
Starting point is 00:28:45 And we wish you all the luck, and we'll see you tonight on your first episode. The first episode airs tonight, 8.30 p.m. Eastern, 730 Central at PBS. You can go to pbs.b.org slash in Principles, the name of the show. The hashtag is In Principle on PBS. Have we slipped through another wormhole yet? I mean, it's again, it's PBS doing a conservative show? I don't know. That's good, though.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I mean, it's nice to have a, I think, I'm really interested to watch the show because of the format that allows, I think, a more, you know, a conversation that doesn't lend itself completely to sound bite answers with everyone cutting each other off. I mean, I think we're at a point now with conservatism where it's important to to have the voices from across that spectrum to be able to talk and actually let ideas come out. I mean, you will look at it on social media and you have this situation where you make a comment and then you have 500 people yelling at you and it just devolts. Yeah, it was so quickly. It was really quite interesting and very self-reflective. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:01 I think I interviewed with him for about an hour or so. and I think the interview is going to end up being about 12 minutes. So I don't know what they're going to. Which is still pretty long. Yes, still very long. For television, that's an eternity. But I'm anxious to see what they use. But it was not a, it was a real good open discussion where we probed all of the media.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I think that's what people like generally speaking, when talk radio is at its best. There are times where it sucks, of course. but that when talk radio is at its best, you've got 15 hours a week to dissect important issues and hopefully be entertained and everything along the way. But I mean, the goal being
Starting point is 00:30:43 to be able to discuss those issues with a little bit of context, with a little bit of space, a little bit of a breathing room. You know, I think we've gone, we get further and further away from that in the sort of clickbaity social media sort of world. But I think that's the stress.
Starting point is 00:31:02 of what talk radio has brought to the table for decades. And, you know, hopefully if they can get to a point, and it seems like this is what they're going for, where you can have actual conversations that aren't cut off every 10 seconds. It was nice. The name of the show says it all. It's in principle. And that's what we have to talk about. We have to talk about the bigger principles, this, this Comey stuff today, which is just,
Starting point is 00:31:25 is just promoting his book. Yeah. That's all this is doing is promoting a book. And like, you know, Fox News, we have criticism of Fox News. news over the years. There's things that we don't like that they do. But the sort of media criticism of Fox is that they're
Starting point is 00:31:40 not taking the news seriously because all they want to do is defend Trump. And you'll see, they'll show, you know, journalists all the time I see in my feed tweet things like, look at this, what's going on and you'll see, you know, Russia scandal, Russia scandal and then like Tucker Carlson's talking about Panda Bears or something. Did you see this one? Yeah. There's been a bunch
Starting point is 00:31:58 of these that have come around at all at the same time. Like here's these other networks, MSNBC and CNN taking things seriously while Fox is over there doing what they do, trying to ignore the big news. I got to tell you, I watched, I was in my office. Stop, stop. Fox News, Trump weighs Syria options with allies. CNN, Trump allies, fear feds have Cohen conversation dates. Yeah, and I'll say.
Starting point is 00:32:22 Which one is the real news here? Exactly. And you can talk about motivation all you want. You can say that, you know, maybe they're talking about this because they think the Comey book is bad for Trump. We can make that accusation. watch two, I was in my office working out yesterday afternoon for two hours and I was, I just had to keep glancing up at the television to see what was happening. It was right as the Komi stuff is coming out. And it's true. The Fox News spent a little bit, not much time on the
Starting point is 00:32:46 stuff that was breaking from the Komi book. But you know what they were talking about issues of substance? They were talking about Syria. They were talking about Russia. They were talking about important issues that were going on right now. You know what they were doing on CNN? They were talking about pee-p-tapes. They were talking about pee-p-tapes. They were talking about the clip that came out about James Comey's noticing that Trump's hands were smaller than his, but not abnormally small. They were talking about all the gossip coming out of this book for two straight hours, while Fox was at least talking about important issues. They were talking about real things that actually matter to people. The Syria thing is really, really serious. It's really serious.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And when I got home yesterday and I saw the, as you call them, the pee-p-tapes. I didn't call them the pee-p-tapes. They were calling them pee-p-tapes on CNN. They were talking about golden showers. They were talking about all of it, all on CNN. Okay, so I read the story. I didn't see. I've stopped watching television.
Starting point is 00:33:49 But I read the story when I got home. And I thought, Pee-P tapes? First of all, if you know anything about Donald Trump, you know that. that he's a germaphobe. So there is no way. There's no way he wants anybody's, there's no way he wants his pee-pee in him or around him, okay, let alone anybody else's. But this is what we're talking about, seriously, something that any sane individual or any insane reporter who is at least honest about Donald Trump and who he is, chiefly a germaphobe,
Starting point is 00:34:32 knows that's not happening. Any journalist who's honest about Russia knows that's from the Russian playbook on how to discredit people. Please. And you're talking about this while Russia is talking about World War III. And one quick thing on the Comey book.
Starting point is 00:34:51 There are two ways that books leak early. Okay. One, the publisher says, says, let's take this excerpt, this excerpt, this excerpt, this most salacious stuff and leak it out there so that the people, the media will jump all over it and will promote the book. The other is the entire book gets out to multiple people. They go through the whole thing and they start picking the most salacious. That's a big distinction there. If this is the media, getting a hold of this book and telling you the best stuff from inside of it, there's nothing
Starting point is 00:35:22 in this book. Nothing. I want to tell you about Casper. Casper is our sponsor this half hour. They have taken sleep to a wonderful place. Casper mattress. The engineers at Casper have outdone themselves with an exceptionally comfortable sleep experience. Casper, my favorite mattress,
Starting point is 00:35:43 I have to be honest with you. And I was when the first day I got it, I wasn't sure. I took the 100-day sleep test. I tried it out in my own home just like you can. if you don't love it, you just call them up, they pick it up, they refund every single penny, you, you know, you owe nothing, you're not having any kind of hassle, and you're actually deciding in the right way.

Starting point is 00:36:39 So this Comey thing with the tapes, they're making a big deal about how he went to James Comey and asked him, hey, you know, I'm really worried my wife believes this. I want you to investigate it and show that it's not true. And they're making this out to be this big controversy. Now, whether that's appropriate for him to do it to the FBI
Starting point is 00:36:55 director is one thing, but the other thing is if he actually had done it, he wouldn't assign a person he's completely uncomfortable with James Comey to investigate whether it's true or not. Stop thinking us through. Stop it. This absolves him largely.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Stop using logic and reason. That's not what we do in the media now. Stop it. Come up with some distorted headline that everybody can just click on that has nothing to do with what you just said. Bill Riley's next.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Glenn back. Mercury. Courage. Truth. Glenn. The patriarchy strikes again. It is, it has striked again. And I don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Washington State University has canceled its fat studies class. Fat studies. I can't study fatness anymore in Washington State University. University. The fat activists all over the country are furious now. The moment they finish their second plate of refried tofu, they're going to waddle out into the street and scream at the sky. Why? Why? Throughout the country, campus feminists are quivering, terrified that fat shaming will only get worse now. So let's talk about the fat that fat studies class. exists. Now, I want you to know I speak to you as Lord of the Fat People. I speak to you from my chair
Starting point is 00:38:44 in my studio that smells, well, it smells like donuts with just a hint of cinnabun. And this is the room that I usually sit in after the show in my underpants and eat Oreo cookies by the sleeve. So I speak to you as an expert. So let's talk about fat studies. First of all, take a guess which program the class is under. If you said women's studies, you win a Diet Coke and a Cheeseburger. The course is a, quote, examination of weight-based oppression as a social justice issue with other systems of oppression based on gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation,
Starting point is 00:39:30 and ability. The Antifa mask and the Drumpf t-shirt is not included. Our country is now in the throes of an obesity epidemic. And academics are concerned about fat-inclusive bikinis. And I am not kidding you, the anti-male gaze. The anti-male gaze. Yes, that's right. The fat studies folks have.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Flip the feminist concept of the male gaze, which claims that the patriarchy is triggered by white cisgender men whose oppressive gays vilifies women, worsens misogyny. In a gasping contradiction, an inadvertent counter example of the original theory, fat-shaming and fat-study feminists claim that anytime white cisgender men don't, find overweight women attractive and are practicing the anti-gays, it's because they're misogynistic. So wait, I need a, okay, hold on. I need somebody from the campus to answer, which one is it? I'm a misogynist if I gaze or I'm a misogynist if I don't gaze. Now, I don't expect an answer because, you know, they're all.
Starting point is 00:41:00 too busy fighting for the rights of oppressed communities often without invitation. I mean, I'm fat. I never asked them to fight for me. Oh, is it because I'm a male and I'm white so I don't count? Now, tuition at Washington State runs about $5,000 per class. That's a waste of money you're never going to get back. This course is run by Dr. Deborah Kristall, who has applied her Ph.D. in sport psychology.
Starting point is 00:41:30 women's study and apparel design to help students understand fat stigma, weight bias, and thin privilege. Also, of course, the weight-based oppression. Now, her writings have been featured, and I'm not sure if this has been peer reviewed, but her writings often appear in the journal Fat Studies. I get that all the time. I can't. I tried to, I tried to, I tried to cancel my subscription, but they make it so hard to, you know, to stop getting that monthly magazine fat studies. So I don't know what to do. Anyway, she uses critical feminist theory and narrative, and I love this, narrative pedagogies to, to fight fat stigma by promoting activism to erode the thin-centric orientation amongst,
Starting point is 00:42:30 students. What the hell you're talking about? First of all, the word critical is academic lingo for neo-Marxist. Anytime you hear a professor or academic rattle on about critical theory, they're talking about Marx. They're basing what they say now on the principles of the Frankfurt School, also known as neo-Marxism. And narrative pedagogies, it's academic code for a form of teaching based on relativism, in which students and teachers use their subjective experiences to learn, because any idea can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways, because there is no meaning, there is no truth, there is no objective reality. Postmodernism, meaning the fat studies movement.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Like much of the campus anti-logic modern feminism and social justice leftism is based on the objective statement that there are no objective statements. Wait, what? And since feelings are facts, concepts like fat phobia, microaggression, cisgender white privilege are all considered not just legitimate, but indisputably true, even though they're. is no actual truth. So it's the food's fault. No, no, wait, it's not the food's fault. It's the patriarchy's fault. It's the patriarchy that forced me to eat that second tub of cinnamon-laced cupcake batter.
Starting point is 00:44:13 And I know who the leader of this troop is. Yes. It's Friday, April 13th. You want to talk... This is the Glenn Beck program. You want to talk about cisgender bias. Bill O'Reilly. comes to mind, forcing
Starting point is 00:44:27 me to eat sleeve after sleeve of Oreo cookies. What's cisgender back? What is that? It's just like you not to know, Bill. Just like you not to know. What is it? I don't, I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I have no idea. I think cisgender. Gender is male, female. I got that. Cisgender is what we traditionally thought of as gender back in the days where we were ill-informed and a non- evolved. So when you say male and female, male and female doesn't really exist anymore.
Starting point is 00:45:01 It's cisgender. You're a close-minded bigot. Oh. It's old school, Bill. You're a corpulent. Corpulent. I don't know what else to call you. I think that was a fancy word for fat. I think that's what word of the day, Bill O'Reilly just called me fat. Look, on Bill O'Reilly.com, we have a special section for people who overeat. And We applaud them. Yes. Yeah, we encourage that you fulfill your basic desires.
Starting point is 00:45:32 And if you're Zoftig, we like you just the same. Wow. Bill O'Reilly.com is cisgendered, whatever that is, we are. And we want people to go there. I think that's bad. I think that's bad. Isn't that bad student being cisgender bad? I think, no, it's just the, it's the new word for the traditional understanding of gender.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Okay, well, I don't think you understand, okay? Because there is no, there is no objective truth. Okay, I'm sorry. So, okay, so Bill O'Reilly, lots to talk to you about. First, can we start with important news? And then we'll go to the big news. But important news, what the hell's happening with Syria? Well, I think that there is a fear on the part of the Trump administration
Starting point is 00:46:21 that the United States launches military. action, which would have to be bombings, missiles, that kind of thing, no ground action, that the stock market will tank, it'll interrupt the economy, it'll cause unintended consequences, Putin will do something rotten, Iran will too, so it'll throw off, you know, all the things that Trump wants to accomplish. That's what's holding them back, the unintended consequence. Yeah, no, A, I'm asking, I'm asking you, we're sending 12, we're sending 12 warships over into the area. This will be the biggest buildup since, I think, the Iraq war. We're building a coalition.
Starting point is 00:47:10 It makes me a little nervous that there's more than just a couple of missiles being lobbed over, or that we're afraid that Russia may respond as they say they are. Well, the Russian got out of TARDIS. That's their Mediterranean port. The reason that Putin is in Syria is because he made a deal with Assad to have a big airbase there and to have a port, Tartis, T-A-R-T-U-S. You remember that St. Paul hung out in Tartis. Anyway, that's why Putin is in there.
Starting point is 00:47:45 He's got his Mediterranean port. But the Soviet warships are out of there. They were ordered to leave. So I think it's a good thing that warships are going. I like to see some British and French warships as well, because if you basically set up a blockade of Syria, you can do them heavy, heavy economic damage without shooting anybody. So that might be a way to go here. The guy was calling the shots as Mattis of Defense Secretary.
Starting point is 00:48:15 It's not Trump calling the shots here. Mattis is really in charge. So you don't believe the rumor that Trump and Bolton, are asking for a hard line and the and Pentagon with Mattis are pushing back and saying, no, no, no, Mr. President. We don't want to go that far. No, I think Bolton and Mattis are pretty simpatico, word of the day. And Mattis is the lead on this. See, Bolton's not going to go in and start to break the furniture on a second day there,
Starting point is 00:48:47 a third day there. So I think that's a scenario, and I kind of like the blockade thing. I think that that's a message, and that can do a lot of harm to Syria and hurt Assad's power base. Okay. As I look up at the – as I look up at the televisions and the monitors, I keep seeing Fox News talking about, you know, pretty much actual news the whole day, and CNN just continues to focus on Comey and the pee-pies. I know. I mean, I hope, I sent it to you back, because I always send my columns to Glenn Beck, just for his approval. I never get it, but I said it from now, I'm going to copy Stu.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Maybe I'll get approval from Stu. Yes, thank you, Bill. Smart. But anyway, look, there is no media, honest media in this country anymore, and anything that they can grab to hammer Trump, they will. The real irony on this is that CNN hated Comey when Comey was. going after Hillary Clinton. And I had Lanny Davis on Bill O'Reilly.com two days ago, and he broke some news. He said that he talked to the Inspector General,
Starting point is 00:50:02 the Justice Department, about Comey, and handed over documents that make Comey look like a complete phony and a complete fraud. This is Lanny Davis saying it. And Lanny Davis, of course, a very close friend of the Clintons. So it's very, it's instructive to watch now how Comey's the good guy again, because Comey is trying to demean and to the smirch,
Starting point is 00:50:23 Donald Trump, which is a horrible situation for a former FBI director who had the highest clearance of security to write a tawdry book smearing, you know, yes, Trump fired him. Yes. We know Comey doesn't like him. But to get down in the gutter, that really reflects poorly on James. I will tell you the one thing that I saw that I thought was remarkably slimy. And, you know, what is the name of the book, like, you know, a higher honor or something like that, I thought was totally dishonorable. He told the story, whether it's true or not, I don't know. But he told the story that General Kelly came to him after Trump fired him and said, you know, I can't work for a dishonorable man and I'm going to quit after this.
Starting point is 00:51:08 And he had built us up like, you know, General Kelly was the one stabilizing factor and yada, yada, yada. And then he exposes him as coming out and saying that. I mean, that, any conversation that any human being had with James Comey is obviously not going to be kept confidential. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The point of that is, though, is he was trying to make Kelly seem very important as the only adult in the room and the only stabilizing factor. Well, if you cared about your country and if that were true, you wouldn't out the guy you were counting on keeping the president. Sure. He wants to make Kelly squirm because he doesn't like Kelly either. But I thought the worst thing, I'm probably not going to read the book because I don't believe James Comey tells the truth.
Starting point is 00:52:00 But I thought the worst thing was talking about Trump's concern for his wife over these unverified allegations in a Russian dossier. Now, if any man is concerned for his wife's feelings, that's a good thing. and to turn it around into some kind of tawdry display, as Comey did in his book, really says all you need to know about James Comey, does it not? Yeah, and if he's concerned about his wife, and he goes to James Comey, but he did these things, why would you go to a guy that you supposedly don't trust and say, hey, can you verify that I didn't do these things? Yeah, yeah, he's going to the FBI saying, listen,
Starting point is 00:52:40 if you can give me some information, I can pass on to Melania, that would, you know, make her feel a little bit better. please do so. And totally rational, totally caring, if you want to use that word, request. And then Comey turns it around to try to use it. And of course, the New York Daily News picks it up, puts it on the front page. I mean, you know, it really, this country, America right now, because of the media, has really descended into a place that makes me extremely uncomfortable. comfortable. More with Bill O'Reilly here in just a second, and we're going to go to the raid on the president's personal attorney. That's happened since last we spoke to Bill O'Reilly. We'll get his
Starting point is 00:53:29 take on that coming up. First, let me tell you about SimplySafe. Last two weeks, SimplySafe won the Editor's Choice Award from CNET magazine and PC magazine.

Starting point is 00:55:03 Glenn Beck, Mercury. Glenn Beck. I'm going to get into the shakedown of the president's attorney and how that was handled and what it means here in just a second. but I, Bill, I've got about two and a half minutes. I just, I want to get your comment on this.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I just look up at the screen. And on CNN, the banner, the lower third says, Comey calls Trump an unethical liar. And CNN says, we go now to Democratic Congressman Denny Heck to get his opinion on this. That's like saying the new Tesla 3 is a crappy car and the company's not going to be around long. We go now to Mike Ditto, a Chevy Volt salesman for his opinion. For his objective analysis. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:00 But it's more the same. You know, I just can't emphasize enough to your listeners that is a total collapse of any information flow that's worthy. You know, I wrote this column that I referred to before the break to show you underneath what you see on television and what you read. in the newspaper, how it's being designed. This is all by design now. It's not an accident. It's not a mistake. I mean, they take anonymous sources,
Starting point is 00:56:32 then so much ridiculous. People familiar with the conversation. Right. Yeah, okay, fine. And then they printed as fact. And then they bring on five people, and let's go to Jeffrey Tubin to discuss the anonymous source thing that we don't even know is true.
Starting point is 00:56:51 true, but we don't really care if it's true. I've never... Because we're going to treat it as true. I will tell you, you know, all the world is but a stage. That phrase has come to mind more than ever. I mean, almost every day I look at television and I think that. I feel like we are in a... We're in a play right now.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Well, it's a bad, bad thing. And there are a few voices. I think you're one of them. I certainly am. That don't have an agenda. We just want to bring information. to the people. We tell them whether it's speculative or whether it's factual, and then the people can decide for themselves. But this vast manipulation is just crushing the spirit of the country.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Okay, so we're going to go into what happened with the president's lawyer. They now are hoping that there are tapes involved. Oh, my gosh. We'll go to that next. Glenn Beck Mercury This is the Glenn Beck program We go down to Bill O'Reilly And from Bill O'Reilly.com We want to talk a little bit about Michael Cohen,
Starting point is 00:58:08 the personal attorney of the president who had his home, office, and hotel room rated earlier this week. First of all, Bill, do you know why he had a hotel room? he lives in New York. I do not. Okay. Do you think it's weird that they went to, I mean, like they were trying to find something
Starting point is 00:58:32 that he might have been taking from the office or keeping with him? You know, it'd be irresponsible of me to speculate. I just don't know. Okay. They are saying now that one of the things that they're looking for is communications between Cohen and WikiLeaks because, the Hollywood, the Access Hollywood tape came out. And then right after that, WikiLeaks started to release things about, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:59:06 I want to say Lenny Davis, but yeah, Podesta. So your thoughts on that? Well, first of all, you say they're saying. Who's their saying? Yeah, I understand that. Yeah, leaks. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:21 This is the big story today. So the FBI raids Cohen's office, and then all of a sudden the Washington Post is printing what the FBI found and all that. So somebody from the FBI or the Justice Department, Rod Rosenstein's office or Mueller's office had to leak it to the Washington Post. Yeah. They had to. Now, this is one of the points that you, and you should make this point, one of the points in your op-ed is about, you know, when this happened to Bill Clinton, Ken Starr was not leaking that we know of. Right.
Starting point is 00:59:56 This is a torrent of this, and nobody's trying to stop it as far as I know. So you want to leak to the Washington Post? Go ahead. We're not going to give you a lie detector test. We're not going to start to prosecute people who are doing this because it's illegal. If an FBI agent raids anybody's office and then calls the Washington Post and tells what they found, that's a felony. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:19 So, but it's accepted. Who's talking about that? Nobody. It's all of the Washington Post reports. And Washington Post doesn't know if it's true. They don't know, but they don't care. But hang on, hang on just a second. Let me just play devil's advocate here. I tend to agree with you, but let me play devil's advocate.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Is it possible that, A, these leaks would have happened or could have happened under Clinton, but it's a different world in the media because of Internet 24? I say that in my article. I say that maybe the leaks did it. It's possible. But they could have leaked to anti-Clinton people like Rush Limba. I mean, they could have a leak to, there are a lot of, you know, the Washington Times. There are a lot of anti-Clinton people that they could leak, but no leaks came out.
Starting point is 01:01:04 But now, you know, within two hours after anything happens involving Donald Trump, Washington Post, New York Times or CNN gets it. Okay. Now, back to Cohen. So you raid the office, and you have to have to have present. to a judge to get the warrant for the raid, some kind of possible felony. All right, so we have evidence that felony was committed. Here it is, Judge.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Here it is. Judge looks at it. It's coming from the FBI. So, okay, I'm signing the warrant, go in and go look for, back up on what you think happened. So they go. And then they seize all kinds of records. They don't, it's not a warrant that is specific.
Starting point is 01:01:55 We're just looking for this, Mr. Cohen. Do you have it? You know, please tell us where it is. No. They get everything. So there's like 10,000 potential violations of attorney-client privilege, not just with Donald Trump, but Cohen's got other people he works for as well. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm not going to let's just skate on that one. this is not a violation of attorney-client privilege with a clean and dirty FBI team. This is the way it is set up. This is not usually done, but can be done. It's certainly not ever done with the president at something this high level, so they better have something. The only question is, do you trust the clean team to stay away from the dirty team?
Starting point is 01:02:42 No, you can't do that, Beck, because they've already leaked stuff about the raid. Somebody involved with the raid. Leaked it. Yeah, but they did not leak what they have found. They have not leaked. They leaked. They leaked. This is what we were looking for.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Yes. And that's the dirty team. Right. Right. If they're going to leak that, then you have a massive, massive potential. And I did use the word potential. Yes, I agree. The violation of attorney, client privilege.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Yes. But you know what? I'm going to submit to you. I'm going to submit to you. you today on the glenbeck program on friday the thirteenth that there is no attorney crime privilege in his country anymore as there is no contractual law contract law forget it
Starting point is 01:03:31 forget it you sign a contract and it says x and if somebody violates x the system says we don't care we don't care there's no contract law there's no attorney client privilege there isn't anything
Starting point is 01:03:47 There's no privacy on Facebook. There's nothing. Somebody wants to stand outside your house with some kind of gizmo that can record your conversation inside your house. Who's going to do some about it? Nobody. So the American people ought to know that all the rights they thought they had talking to an attorney, signing a valid contract. They're gone. Hey, wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I'm not going to let you. Bill, I am with you on 99% of that, that our rights are, are gone. There is no such thing as privacy. However, attorney-client privilege does stand. This is when, if I am the client that is accused, everything that I say about my case to my attorney and everything my attorney says back to me is protected. However, I am going to guarantee you, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm going to guarantee you that what you're saying is false because they are going to be leaks about what Trump discussed with his attorney. That is, wait, then that is.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Any charges before anything. Then that is different than saying that this is a violation of attorney client client privilege. This is the way the system is built. If I am colluding in another crime or if my attorney is committing a crime, that is, when we're talking about, hang on, Bill, hang on. when we're talking about that thing, it is not privileged.
Starting point is 01:05:19 And that's why there are two teams, one that is investigating one crime and another team that is working basically for the court that goes in and says, you have to find these things, everything else that is not regarding these things. You cannot touch and you cannot reveal. And you believe.
Starting point is 01:05:40 No, I don't. No, I don't. But I'm saying... You believe that's what they did with Colin? I am saying... saying that when you when someone makes the blanket statement that this was destroying attorney-client privilege no this is the system that we have always had this is not making law up you're going to absolutely right and when it comes out i'm going to demand airtime on your program because you're not
Starting point is 01:06:08 listening to me you're not listening to me you're not talking theoretical i am to no i am talking about the law. You're the one speculating here, right, Bill? You're the one saying that this is going to happen in the future. Hang on just a second. I'm talking about the law and then I'm saying to you, I agree with you that I don't trust the people involved, but that's different than saying there is no attorney-client privilege under the law. There is. We just don't have- I don't know how I can't get through to you and Stu. The law is there. In the wording of the law is still there. Same thing with contracts, Beck. It's there.
Starting point is 01:06:47 But if it isn't enforced, if things don't happen to people who violate the law. I agree. Then it doesn't mean anything. But so far, I know you don't like to speculate. I don't know. I know you don't like to speculate. You like to deal on facts.
Starting point is 01:07:03 So far, they have not violated the attorney-client privilege. They have not. Okay, but it's only been three days. Okay. But I know Bill O'Reilly. does not like to speculate. Boy, I'm going to play that take back over and over again, but I know you don't like to
Starting point is 01:07:20 speculate. All right. So. I can't, I can't accuse, I can say that this is a potential, as I have said 14 times already. I know, you're speculating. The potential will be fulfilled. Bill, can I ask your journalistic expertise on these leaking here, on the leaking issue for a minute?
Starting point is 01:07:41 Listen to this. This is from the Washington Post this week. It's about a portrait of Trump in the current moment comes from interviews with 21 people, and then they break down the types of people that they've interviewed. Now, they're using the number 21 to gather credibility. They talk to 21 people. It must be true. They're trying to convince their readers that they're not a bunch of charlatans.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Right. And what I'm saying is, look, if the Washington Post had a stellar record of being fair, not only to Donald Trump, but to conservatives, to traditional Americans, to the Republican Party, if their record was fair, then I would believe them. But it's not to... No. It's not. They hate.
Starting point is 01:08:29 They hate anyone who is not of liberal orthodoxy. They despise them, so that, therefore, they can say, we talked to 87,000 people. And I'm going, I don't care because the outcome, it was already told to the reporter before he talked to one person. This is the outcome we want, all right? We want Trump out of office. That has been made very clear by the publications, New York Times. Okay, hang on just a second.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Go ahead. Just a second. No, I just want to be very specific. Yeah. Because I do not believe those conversations were had. I believe those conversations don't need to be had. Listen to me. Listen to me.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I believe those conversations don't need to be had because it's group think. They all think the same way. Yes. So there's no planning. There's no conspiracy. I find it very hard to believe that a reporter would say I talk to 21 people who told me, you know, And then the person didn't talk to any, any 21 people. But it doesn't matter because they might have talked to people for three minutes.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Hey, hey, did you hear this? Oh, yeah, I heard it. Bye. And that's kind of, that's what I'm getting at here is. The outcome of the article, this is what everybody has to understand. When these reporters are assigned something, all right, it's not just Trump. All right. It is made quite clear to them what the editors,
Starting point is 01:10:07 want, what they want. This is what we want you to find out. Bang. And those reporters are going to do that because if they don't, they're not going to get the good assignments. I can give you names. I know this. I've seen it. All right? And it absolutely happens. But now it's an epidemic because all of them want Trump out of office. Right. I agree with you. We just had Ben Smith on yesterday. We just had Ben Smith. Why aren't there any leaks that says Trump does something good? There hasn't been one leak that says, hey, he did something good.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Yeah. One? Just one. Here's worth one. What I'm trying to get at here with this, though, Bill, is it's source inflation. Like, they're using that number. Listen to what it comes after it. Quick.
Starting point is 01:11:02 Interviews with 21 administration officials, which would be notable if they had 21 administration officials, but that's not where it stops. 21 administration and officials, comma, outside advisors. What the hell is that? Comma, lawmakers. Chuck Schumer is a lawmaker. They interviewed Chuck Schumer about this? Outside advisors are staff of CNN.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Right. It's all a ruse. You know that. All right. Bill O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly.com. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:27 You got to go there this weekend. We got lots of great stuff, Beck. So I want you yourself to go. What are you doing this weekend anyway? You do anything fun? I'm just spending my time at Bill O'Reilly.com. That's what I'm doing. You can eat donuts while you do that.
Starting point is 01:11:40 I can eat donuts in my underpants. Simultaneously. It sounds like a fabulous weekend, Bill O'Reilly. Thank you so much. All right. Thanks for having, guys. Godless, Bill O'Reilly.com. I think, you know what?
Starting point is 01:11:52 I just, I feel like we're saying similar things. Yeah, you're close. We're in the neighborhood. He just refuses to listen. Yes, that's true. That's basically Bill O'Reilly every Friday in this hour. That's what. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:05 All right, let me tell you about, my Patriot supply. My Patriot supply would like you to be prepared. FEMA admits recently that they can't help everybody who's underprepared. We have to take matters into our own hands. In fact, they say everybody should have, was it a month's worth of food? I think it was a month's worth of food. Yeah. Okay, great. Now is the time to do it before, you know, the hurricanes and the wildfires
Starting point is 01:12:28 start, you know, before like, you know, the earthquakes. And by the way, we are 10 days from the rapture. Oh, yeah? 10 days from the rapture. We've gotten that from experts now. We'll give you the detail. And, of course, we'll... Can't come fast enough.
Starting point is 01:12:44 So at least get... I mean, this is a waste of money, a four-week food supply. You only need 10 days. All right. Four-week food supply right now is $99. And the time to prepare is before, well, the rapture and before there's trouble. I mean, you might be left behind. Preparewickglen.com.
Starting point is 01:13:03 That's prepare with glen.com. $99 for emergency food for four weeks. It's 800, 200, 271.63. Four weeks of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 800, 271.63. It's $99 now at prepare with glen.com. Glenn back, Mercury. Glenn, back. Man, I can't tell you how excited I am for this interview.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Mary Jo Capekney's family in their first. national interview, at least that I know of, talking about Mary Joe, how she died, Ted Kennedy and the new movie Chappaquittic. It's going to be interesting to hear from them in a story that has been buried for so long. And the New York Times is now saying, oh, it's totally unfair. Totally unfair. They didn't accuse him of killing her, just leaving her. They didn't accuse him of having an affair.
Starting point is 01:14:17 He didn't accuse him of anything. They just showed the basic, the most basic facts. It's still very damning. Bad for Ted. He was bad. Yeah, he's a bad guy. But they didn't, they did not push that storyline at all. And they say that it's unfair.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Wow. We'll hear from Mary Joaquin. Kepechnie's family. I can't wait. Don't miss it. It's next. Glenn. Back.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Mercury. Truth. So imagine. Imagine being the family of Mary Jo Kepechnie. So many people in America don't even know that name now, shockingly. Because it had been buried for a very long time because of a very powerful family. But Mary Joe Kepechnie, 28-year-old Cambeckney, 28-year-old campaign worker, speechwriter for Bobby Kennedy,
Starting point is 01:15:31 she was the one that died at Chappaquitic. If you don't know the story of Chappaquitic, there's a new movie out that you need to see. But the story is shockingly told for, I think, the first time. And it's told in a very fair, I think, and charitable way. But you see this woman clinging to life trapped in a car that has been driven off a bridge by Ted Kennedy, where she survives for three hours gasping for air.
Starting point is 01:16:07 She's been relegated to footnote status. What's really sad is Mary Jo Kepekne isn't a person. She's a thing that happened to Ted Kennedy, that happened to him or happened in his life. She's a person. And the family is speaking. out now, I believe this is their first national interview to talk about Chappaquittic and Mary Jo Capechnie.
Starting point is 01:16:37 With us is Georgette and Nelssohn. She's Mary Jo Capekne's first cousin and Bill Nelson, who's Mary Jokepecne's first cousin's son, they're the co-authors of the book Are Mary Jo. Georgetta, Bill, how are you? Wow. I'm well. How are you, Mr. Beck? This is really a pleasure.
Starting point is 01:16:55 I've been a fan for a long time, Glenn. It's a wonderful experience to talk with. you. Wow. Thank you very much. It's weird for me to talk to you guys because you are such, you're such a part of history. You were there and nobody, nobody sees Mary Jo as Mary Jo. She's an event. Yes. Yes. She's kind of a footnote in history. She was just the girl who died in the car and broke our hearts to lose her. It was really sad and hard to deal with. my son on. Are you on, Bill? Yes. I'm here, Mom. How are you?
Starting point is 01:17:33 You may not be able to hear him. Bill, do you remember any of this incident? I was born in 1972, so I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Aunt Mary Jo. No. Okay. And go ahead. But over the time in growing up with my mother, of course, and knowing
Starting point is 01:17:55 about Chappaquitic, I went and search for information all the time, and I can never find anything about Mary Jo. And that's really why we started to dig through all of the pictures and the letters and the stories and the memories from her friends. And we wanted to put together a book for the family. So that's how it all got started because I didn't know who Mary Jo was, as did the rest of the world. No one really knew who this woman was, except that she was a boiler room girl. I have to tell you, I would love to have you guys in studio and Georgetta bring the pictures and really, I'd really love to tell her story. Because I I think this is fascinating.
Starting point is 01:18:30 My daughter sat with me. She's 30 years old and my two nieces and nephews. And we watched Chappaquitic. And I watched almost in horror that they knew nothing about it. They knew nothing about her. They had never heard. After the car went over, my daughter looked at me and said, please tell me he didn't be he he wasn't a senator after this and I said oh no honey watch
Starting point is 01:19:01 how how bizarre is this for something so huge to be buried for so long and then now there's a major motion picture out about it well I'm very happy with the picture and we were privileged to have a private screening and we had our family and closest friends there and my young niece cried at the, go ahead, Bill. At the end of it. It was, it was, we had about 40 people, friends and family, and they, um, they reacted in, in horror after the movie was over because you're right, Glenn, they don't know. The new generation coming up don't know. And I'm shocked that it took almost 40 years or almost 50 years to make a movie about this, this story. And I think it was suppressed so many times over the years and not allowed to be made. I'm
Starting point is 01:19:53 I'm very proud of the courage that the filmmakers and the producers have in making this film. And like you said, they did it in a very fair and balanced way because they used the inquest testimony from what everybody out on that island that night said happened. So you can't really dispute it. If that's the official record of what they said happened, you can't have false with it then and say, well, we don't know the truth. Well, neither do we. So, you know, imagine how frustrating that is for her parents, Gwen and Joe. Georgetta, when we, in the movie, we see Mary Jo's parents, your parents. My, my, our mothers were sisters, so that was my aunt.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Okay, so your aunt, your aunt and your uncle sitting there. Was, was, did they find it strange that, that Ted Kennedy, you know, sent somebody there and was, you know, screening everything and kind of taking control of their situation? or did they find that a comfort at the time? Well, at the very beginning, Gwen said she thought that they were sent to help them. But then they soon realized that they were screening everyone who was calling the house or coming to the house. And there were close friends of Gwen and Joe's that they would have liked to have seen because they could have given them real comfort.
Starting point is 01:21:13 Our family was kind of scattered. I was living with the family, my family, in Rhode Island. And the bulk of our family is in Pennsylvania. Gwen and Joe were in New Jersey, so it took a few days to get everyone together so that we could comfort them. But she thought at first they were helping, and then later thought, maybe not. Maybe they were just screening. Who was going to say, well, ask him this or asking that, but Quinn and Joe were destroyed. They were absolutely destroyed when their only daughter died.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Uncle Joe said, they wanted more children, but he said, if we could only have one, God sent us the best. She was, she seemed remarkable. I loved the way they portrayed her in this. They didn't get into anything salacious like an affair. I had always heard that they were having an affair. Were they or not? No.
Starting point is 01:22:10 She didn't particularly like it. I don't think anybody really did. Well, they were all very young. He was in his 30. She was 28. But she idealized Bobby. and that was the only thing that brought her out of the south. She was down south during the Civil Rights Days,
Starting point is 01:22:27 and we were very worried about her teaching school in Alabama. But when she had the opportunity to work in Washington with the people who were making the rules, making the laws and making things better for everyone and equal rights, she came right up to Washington. Yeah, she was a speechwriter for Bobby, right? She helped him write his speech announcing he was going to run for president. Yes. Wow.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Yeah, she was smart. Well, she was one of the older boiler room girls, too, though. Can you explain what a boiler room girl is? They were a group of women, all very intelligent, all very well, educated, all committed to helping Bobby with the campaign and all the good works that he was doing. And they happened to work in this one room. I think it was windowless, but it wasn't in the basement with the boilers, no. Can you guys tell me Because the one thing we all walked out of this movie
Starting point is 01:23:26 The saying is How did she not get out and he did? Is there any thoughts on this? I wish I knew that. Mary Jo was a wonderful swimmer And if she had Her face couldn't have been more than a foot from air Even though she was inside the car
Starting point is 01:23:46 Trying to breathe the air that was in there, why didn't she get out? If you want my opinion... Go ahead, Bill. If you want my opinion on it, when they did the inquest, there was blood that went down the back of her blouse, probably to the small of her back. They dismissed it as some sort of nonsense as foam from her mouth. But I always wondered that, why didn't she get out of the car?
Starting point is 01:24:09 And I personally think that she was injured inside that car. And she may not have been all the way conscious either. I think instinctually, when John Farrar pulled her. her out of the car instinctually she had found an air pocket up by what would be the foot hole because the car was upside down so it would be where you would put your feet that's a question that's puzzled us for years and we don't we don't have a lot of answers about chappaquittic but what we've done is we'll give you who mary joe was so we can tell you what probably didn't happen for instance this rumor about her being an affair with ted kennedy
Starting point is 01:24:44 There's a good chance that that never happened because of who Mary Jo was and her upbringing and her Catholic and her values and things like that. So when you find out what didn't happen, it kind of leads you down the path of what possibly could happen. And I wish more people would do that, that were there or that know things. I wish more people would come forward with whatever little pieces of information that they may have, and at least we know our fact. And then you can work backwards. You think there is more information, more people that could come forward and tell... I sure do. I sure do because there were more than Ted Kennedy on that island that night. There was multiple people. There's probably eight or nine or ten more people that are alive today
Starting point is 01:25:24 that at least know a little piece of the puzzle. And if you can take that little piece of the puzzle and you can deduce what didn't happen, then you can work backwards and probably come up with a good theory. I could tell you what didn't happen, and that's whatever they said at the inquest because it doesn't make sense. None of it makes sense. So it's logically not possible. What do you mean? What didn't make sense? Him diving in the water and swimming across the channel, there have been multiple reports that that's impossible. The side of the car on the passenger side is absolutely crushed from the front fender to the back fender. Well, water doesn't do that. So going off a bridge and hitting the water does not crush an Oldsmobile.
Starting point is 01:26:08 In Oldsmobile 88, they're made of steel, I believe. So there's a lot of stuff that we don't know or the has been left out of the big picture. What do you think that means? What is speculation? Well, there's a lot of different theories out there. There was a theory that there was an accident before the bridge and that Mary Jo was hurt, which would also, you know, go towards the blood on her blouse and her maybe being disorientated, too. There was a theory that he was never in the car when it went off the bridge.
Starting point is 01:26:38 there was a theory that there were other people in the car besides Ted Kennedy, there was a couple other maybe a woman or a man. So there's a lot of different theories that kind of make more sense than the official version of what happened. Yeah, and that makes if there was an accident, she was hurt, and even if there weren't other people, for him to then push it off of a bridge probably would make a little more sense. because it doesn't... Go ahead. I think the saddest thing for Gwen and Joe
Starting point is 01:27:12 was that no one has ever come to them and said, you know, I saw Mary Jo on the island. She was happy. She was looking forward to her new job. These girls all came together because they had scattered, and this was their last chance to see each other. Bobby had died. A few of them, including Mary Jo,
Starting point is 01:27:29 had been chosen to clean up the office, send things to the museums, send things home, send things to the office. office, it was a very tragic task for them because they had loved the senator. And so this was a chance for them to be together, but no one has ever come to Gwen and Joe and said, I saw Mary Jo, she was happy. We were looking forward to this or that.
Starting point is 01:27:55 And so they'd never had the last few hours of their daughter's life. And I think that's a terrible tragedy. So wait, so, wait, none of the, none of the Boiler Girls ever got together with the family. family and... No. They were at her funeral, but Gwen and Joe were so sedated to tell you the truth that, and none of them were ever introduced to any of us, so we never got a chance to talk to them either. And afterward, when it was calmed down and they thought that, well, now the senator will come forward and talk to them, he did call them, asked him to come to Hyannis Port, and they thought,
Starting point is 01:28:34 Well, now, now we'll find out what happened that night. But when they got there, they walked into a cocktail party. He came over and said, hello, and disappeared. And so they turned around and went home and more or less hibernated the rest of their lives. But he never, as far as I know, never even said, I'm sorry. You know, touching on that, not only did Gwen and Joe lose their only daughter in a highly publicized accident, car wreck, whatever. whatever you want to call it. But then they didn't get their daughter's last lives. Then they were
Starting point is 01:29:09 abandoned by everybody that was there. And then on top of all of that, you got to remember that they got all these nasty letters from the public accusing them of hiding things or not getting an autopsy because they wanted to know if she was pregnant or some nonsense. And every, every anniversary, they go out to the mailbox and they have these nasty letters for pretty much the rest of their life. I can't imagine what they went through. Okay. We have those letters. Can you hang on just a second?
Starting point is 01:29:38 Because I want to continue our conversation with the family of Mary Jo Kepekne. That's a movie in and of itself. All right. I want to tell you about Filter Buy. Great sponsor of ours. They make a really good product, but they also employ a lot of people. Apparently, U.S. companies lose $250 million a year due to employees with allergies. and the suffering that goes on because we just don't clear, we don't clean our air filters.
Starting point is 01:30:12 Something as simple as changing the air filters can make a world of difference in a workplace, satisfaction, productivity, and your home. Now, it'll make a difference to you if you just change the filters. I want to talk to you about Filter Buy, because Filter Buy is America's leading provider of HVAC filters for homes and small businesses. they make it really easy for you to improve the quality of the air that you breathe, and they save you a ton of money because it reduces the wear and tear on your HVAC system. All of the air filters that are made by filter by are made here in America.
Starting point is 01:30:49 They employ Americans, and they have fought to keep the... Honestly, the guy who runs it now was a Wall Street guy. He found out that his grandfather's business that he had built back in the the 50s that didn't make filters, made something else, was being sold and dismantled and all these people were going to lose their jobs. He quit his job and he started filter by in that same town, in that same factory just to keep his grandfather's dream alive, which I just think is so great. Now they make great filters all here in America, filterb u.w.com, filterby.com. Go there now, Get your filters, get your air clean, in your home and in your business at filterby.com.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Glenn. Glenn back. Family of Mary Jo Kopechnie is on with us. Bill, we lost your mom. But I want to ask you to, if, could you guys, could we fly you in and bring the letters and the whole story and any speeches that she wrote? I would love to have you guys come in and share that history. Absolutely. I don't, yeah, we would love to. I'd be an honor. I'm sure my mom would be very happy about that also. I got to warn you, though. She's the busiest retired woman I know. So, yeah, absolutely. So let me just, let me just spend the last couple of minutes here asking about your, what would be aunt and uncle or great and an uncle.
Starting point is 01:32:34 Mary Jo's. Yeah, Mary Jo would be my aunt. Okay, so you're great and an uncle, right? were, lived this life of being so proud of their daughter. And then their daughter becoming this villain to some and an event to others. What was the, what was their life like? I visited Gwen and Joe very, very often. We would go up and we would visit them.
Starting point is 01:33:05 And looking back now, I was younger then, I was in my teenage years when we were visiting them early 20s, but looking back now through different eyes, I saw, like especially Uncle Joe, he was pleasant, but he was hollow. I caught him one day looking out the window, and I wrote about this in the book, and I didn't realize until years later that he just seemed like he was waiting for somebody, and he was waiting for somebody to come home, and you can tell that he was off in a faraway place, and I'm sure he was thinking about Mary Jo at that time. Mary Jo didn't deserve to go down in history the way that she did,
Starting point is 01:33:35 and that's why we started her scholarship at University, or Misricorder University, and why we wrote her book, to set the record straight so that she and her life have an opportunity to do good and through her scholarship to do good for education and for people who are, you know, furthering their education. And it's been very well received. It's been humbling to us that it's been so well received by everyone. And it's really gratifying. The name of the book is Our Mary Joe. It's available everywhere.
Starting point is 01:34:04 And I haven't read it yet, but I hope that it picks the story. story up before and after the movie Chappaquittick. Yeah. Yeah, it starts from actually her heritage and where she came from. It continues up past her death into Gwen and Joe's life without her. It's a comprehensive look. And what we did is we took all the letters that we had received from people around the world. Well, Gwen and Joe had received and we had actually inherited them. And we put them in the book to tell Mary Jo's story through the eyes of other people through her friends, her co-workers. Now, she was great, but not because we say so, but because everyone who knew her said so.
Starting point is 01:34:48 So all the people surrounding her had an opportunity to go on and be lawyers and be publicists and have very successful lives. So we'd only assume Mary Jo would also have done that too. So this gives her a second chance. The name of the book is Our Mary Jo. It is Mary Jo Kepecne's story. The name of the movie is Chapiquitic. You need to see it.
Starting point is 01:35:07 It's unbelievable. Thank you so much, Bill. Glenn Beck, Mercury. You're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the program to Pat Gray. Hello, Pat. Hello, Glenn. Did you just hear Mary Jo Kepekne's family on with us?
Starting point is 01:35:33 I did, yeah. Unbelievable, right? Pretty compelling. Let me ask you this. Who is alive in history that we should be talking to? Who's alive that witness someone? Like, I would have never thought that we could just reach out to Mary Jo Ko Peckney's family. I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:35:52 It just didn't even occur to me. Tokyo Rose was living in, she died, I think, in 2010. We should have talked to her before she died. Who's out there that's a witness to history? And I'd love to hear from you. Just tweet me at Glenn Beck. I'd like to hear, who's a witness of history that we should go look for and talk to? That would great. It's just to hear the, I mean, what it was like for them to go through that as a family member of the, because all you hear about is the Ted Kennedy side, which is really important. I mean, the Chappaquittic movie really deals mainly with, with Ted Kennedy's side of it. And it's really important to know. But her, I don't know about you, but when I saw it, you guys both saw the movie, right? Yep. When I saw it, I, I immediately thought, how did the family feel? How dirty did that feel? How awful. I think at first they were real supportive of him.
Starting point is 01:36:46 Yeah. But as time went on, they realized, yeah. A guy left her to die. There was a scene in the movie I wanted to ask her about we didn't get time. But she was friends with the boiler room girls, right? Like this group of advisors and speechwriters and stuff, young people that were in the Kennedy circles, they were meeting up at this house. And after this happens, they come back in the next morning and say, hey, look, some crazy crap went down. Ted's at the police station and one of the boiler room girls,
Starting point is 01:37:17 a friend of Mary Joes, in the movie at least, it comes up and says, what can we do to protect Ted? That was their reaction. Like, this is, a person died. Your friend died. What can we do to protect Ted? If she really said that, that's pretty
Starting point is 01:37:33 despicable. It may have been a composite reaction, but I think it seemed, if my memory serves, that was the way they reacted generally. Knowing that none of the boiler girls ever reached out to her family is weird. I'm smelling food. Oh my gosh. It smells so good. So this is taste. This is taste test day. This is taste test day. Yes. This is an important thing. As you know, we deal with international news all the time here on the program, very important. And the
Starting point is 01:37:57 international house of pancakes has a new new entry. It doesn't get any more international than that news. I don't think that is. Okay, so so hang on just a second. As we're eating these, what are these, these are the new Hawaiian sweet rolls. Yeah, before you just jam them down your gullet, let's explain what they are. You know the Hawaiian rolls you have around the holidays? I love those. In the orange bag. Yeah, in the orange bag.
Starting point is 01:38:19 They're kind of sweet, right? I have decided to make French toast out of them. Which is a freaking awesome idea. That's why they're international. That's why they're in every country in the world. Strawberry and banana. Cinnamon toast and regular. Okay, so let me just point this out as we're eating this to tell you just for science.
Starting point is 01:38:37 Science perfect for purposes only. Stu. Yes. Can you give me what Russia? just announced? Oh, sure. This is interesting. Wait, I can't eat when I'm...
Starting point is 01:38:47 I know. There's not a heck of a lot of details yet, but... This is terrifying. The Russian military is saying that the alleged chemical attack in Syria, now they're saying, I guess it is happened, it did actually happen. The alleged chemical attack in Syria. At first it was fake news.
Starting point is 01:39:01 Right. Huh. What happened to that? Now it's not. The Russian military is saying that the alleged chemical attack in Syria was staged and directed by Britain. I mean, you... Wait a way.
Starting point is 01:39:13 the alleged was staged I'm having a hard time with that all right so we have this what have you tried here Glenn because I'm not that impressed what do you mean you're not impressed
Starting point is 01:39:29 I think this is an interesting concept it's not working for The Hawaiian rules are the greatest things ever I don't know what Hawaiian King came up with them but if he demanded the island back I'd give it to them as long as they would as long as they would
Starting point is 01:39:47 continue to ship the rolls. Yeah. I mean it's good, but it's not awe-inspiring. It's not as it's not as good as as it sounds. No. Now what's your, what's your
Starting point is 01:40:05 reasoning behind it? I think that's pretty good. I mean, it doesn't taste, here's what I would say about it. It doesn't taste that much different than regular French toast. Right. Like there's not a huge difference. I had very high expectations because those rolls are so yummy. But again, it's pretty freaking good. No, it's good. It's good. I wouldn't spit it out. Well, I would go farther than that. I would eat it and I would order it, but it's not like, you know, I was expecting something just really remarkable. I'm not going
Starting point is 01:40:40 to an international city just to have it. No. I'm not going to Brussels to get this. No. You would travel to Prague. The good news is it's the international house of pancakes. They're all over the world. Right. So whatever city you find yourself in.
Starting point is 01:40:57 That is good news. Yeah. I mean, look, this is a solid entry. It's a nice little. It's not bad. It's a nice thing to try. I mean, I think you're right though. If I go to, like if I find myself at I hop, which I tend to do.
Starting point is 01:41:09 You just wake up and you're there? Yeah, like sometimes. You're an I hop guy? I am at I hop. Over the waffle house? I like Waffle House. I don't go to Waffle House. The smoke situation is a problem for me.
Starting point is 01:41:21 Really bad. But, you know, like I like all the chain breakfast places. There's not any that I can identify that I don't like. But my kids really like IHop. We do a pancake time on Saturdays. And a lot of times we'll go to IHop. And if I'm at IHop, which I am, a lot. I would absolutely put this on my menu of selections to choose while I'm there.
Starting point is 01:41:42 I mean, yeah. Yeah, so would I? But would I, like, would I, like, would I, you know, quit my job and move to an apartment next door to IHOP so I can have it every morning until it expires? Maybe not. Maybe not. You get a discount or something in IHOP? Why are you suddenly so, you know, this is bad?
Starting point is 01:41:58 Pretty pro-IHop. It's pretty like, hey, I hop. I'm not saying anything bad about you. No, I think I, I think I articulated that well. I wouldn't quit my job and move next to it. That's a knock on I-Hop. Is there a food you would quit your job for? and move next to?
Starting point is 01:42:13 There's thousands of food. Really, I think of it as excuses rather than foods. Mm-hmm. How can I justify quitting my job and moving next to a restaurant? I think about that often. Well, the nice thing is,
Starting point is 01:42:24 Iops are always in the best parts of town. They are. Yeah, no, it's pretty good. It's pretty solid, but yeah, it's not like changing. Yeah, it's not bad. That's good. By the way, the Russian military says that an alleged chemical attack at Syrios staged by Britain.
Starting point is 01:42:38 I've eaten all the fruit off the plate. Mm-hmm. That should tell you something, There's still bread left. Right. I've eaten all the fruit off the plate. What happened to your diet? You know, you're...
Starting point is 01:42:47 Shut up. I don't eat things like this anymore. Yeah, we've been getting harassed about the segment. Everyone keeps going to know, you guys not supposed to eat that stuff. It's a, it's a radio show. It's more important than a stupid diet. Right. People need to know the information about the International House of Pancakes's latest offerings.
Starting point is 01:43:02 Get over your Glenn's health thing. Thank you, Sto. Thank you. It's science. I am donating my... I am loaning my body out for science right now. Think about the sacrifices you're making. Amen, brother. Preach on.
Starting point is 01:43:16 You know, people, you know, a lot of people won't do the types of things you do. Like, you know, not everyone will go cover genocide in Syria. That's right. Not everyone will go to Rwanda in the middle of the Hutu-Tutsi dispute. Amen. And get on the ground. Preach it. And talk to the guys holding the machetes.
Starting point is 01:43:32 They won't do that. And other people won't eat eye hop off their diet. Amen. You'll do that. You're an extraordinary human being. Thank you, Pat. Thank you. I feel a little uncomfortable with you guys pointing out how great I am.
Starting point is 01:43:46 I don't think you do. I seem pretty comfortable. You seem fine with it. So this is your choice, I guess, America. Could we sit here and dissect all the leaks from the James Comey book today? Of course. Sure, we could. Sure, we could spend lots of time talking about James Comey and all the observations he had about Donald Trump's hands.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Why? Or we can tell you what the latest thing in I hop is. Can I tell you something? Honestly. Why? What? What is it that there is to gain on any of this Comey stuff? And I haven't read it obviously yet, but from what I've heard, there's almost nothing new in it. Well, I was making this point earlier. Like when a book company, when stuff starts leaking out from a book, one of two things has happened.
Starting point is 01:44:30 A journalist has received the entire book, whether they bought it. Sometimes they've mistakenly put it out at stores. Sometimes, you know, the book company could leak it to them. So they look at the book and they go through the book and they find the best stuff, the most important stuff. the most important stuff that they think will get attention to it, and they bring it up. That's part one. Part two is the publisher of the book leaks excerpts of the things they'll find to be most salacious so that people will start talking about the book before it comes out. If it's the publisher leaking details, and this is what's coming out,
Starting point is 01:45:01 we don't know if there's good stuff in the book yet. We don't know if there's real stuff in the book yet because they may just be leaking salacious details to get attention. And then when you read the substance, of it, you may find that there actually is substance there. But if there's a galley of the book. Right. If they have this whole book, they've read the whole book and what you're
Starting point is 01:45:18 hearing now is the most interesting crap in there, there is a pretty bad book. It's a giant zilch. And by all indications, it's that one. It's that way. They actually do have the book. They've gone through the book. And these are the things they find to be most important. That's really bad. The only thing anybody's talking about
Starting point is 01:45:34 is that dumb Russian rumor about the sex with prostitutes in Moscow and what went on there. And he just says he thinks it's possible that it's true. Well, so what? First of all, we already went down that road and it's not. The reason he thinks it's true is because apparently Trump asked him to go investigate this. That's exactly, can I tell you something? That tells me it's not true. It tells me it not true. If my, if I had that out about me and my wife would know, but I would say, I don't want that out.
Starting point is 01:46:10 about me. That is horrible. Go prove that is inaccurate. And they're making a big deal out of it because everybody's saying well, why would she even believe there's a 1% chance? Well, because he admitted to it. It fairs multiple times. He bragged about it in books. So yeah, she could think
Starting point is 01:46:26 maybe he did something weird like that. Yeah. So go investigate it and show her that I didn't do it. There's no way he did something weird like that. No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's no way she believes he did something weird. Would he go to Moscow and have sex with beautiful models.
Starting point is 01:46:42 Yeah. And I think she would, she would have fears that maybe he would do that. And I think she would be justified in that. This, that's not what this is. This is him buying hookers, which I do not believe Donald Trump would do. It would be too big. Let's just take it the, the, the, the shallow way. It would be too much of a hit to his ego to have to pay for it.
Starting point is 01:47:05 So he wouldn't. I don't think. The second part of that is the golden, shower, Donald Trump doesn't shake hands. He doesn't like to shake people's hands. He's a germaphobe. You think that he's going to have somebody pee all over him or around him? No. I hope not. But I mean, it shows. I don't think so either. I just, I don't think it happened. I don't think it happened either. But to just show how far Comey is going to try to make this case. The point you brought up, Pat, he said something to the effect of, look, even if my.
Starting point is 01:47:40 my wife thinks there's a one percent chance that something like this happened. I need to, I need to disprove it. Right. And Comey and custody it and show her. And Comey's self-righteous line after that, what kind of marriage are you in if your wife would believe there's a 1% chance you do something like that? That is such a stretch. He's just saying, look, I want to make sure I disprove this. So there's no chance at all. My wife would believe it. I don't think she believes it. But even if there's a 1% chance, I want the truth to be out there. He's not saying that his marriage is so bad that she might believe it. Now, you may take that from other comments, but to stretch his comment there.
Starting point is 01:48:21 Twisted it completely out of proportion. Into an admission his marriage is bad. It's ridiculous. I mean, there's a lot of other evidence of those sorts of things. Yeah, first of all, can we just, let's just be honest here for a second. Let's talk about the product as if it is the product that we all know it is. Donald Trump is not the king of virtue, as we hear from spiritual leaders all the time. We didn't elect a pastor, we didn't elect a pastor.
Starting point is 01:48:50 So we know his record with women. Okay, we know it. Now, whether it's the Stormy Daniel, let's just say all of that stuff stopped the minute he found his true love in Melania. Right. Okay. We know who he was in the past. you don't think Melania does Of course there's one percent chance
Starting point is 01:49:12 Of course It doesn't mean anything other than Hey he's had this kind of stuff in his life before Where you know he likes the youngest hottest thing You know I'm not as young as I used to be I'm whatever Of course she would think that And of course
Starting point is 01:49:31 Of course a good husband would think I don't want her thinking that way Yeah You remember the time that your wife found her first gray hair And you had to make a big deal out of how young she was Absolutely not, Clint I don't remember that either It's never happened that's well
Starting point is 01:49:47 I don't think Jackie has a gray hair I just remember I just remember my father who was a bad man You're gonna talk about this today on Packeray Unleash The Comey thing Yeah you're gonna go into that Okay All right coming up Packray Unleash Blaze TV radio podcast
Starting point is 01:50:03 And he'll also read books to you if you want later on in person. Let me tell you. I'll eat for you, too, if you want. Let me tell you about Bitcoin. I've been trying to figure out Bitcoin for a long time. I've been trying to figure out how cryptocurrency works. And it took me about two years, and I really missed.
Starting point is 01:50:22 I could have bought it when it was like, I don't know, $200 a coin. Yeah, I missed that. And now, what is it today? Back over 8,000. Back over 8,000. You know why? You know why? George Soros.
Starting point is 01:50:37 one of the reasons. George Soros. George Soros said in January, this is a bubble. This is ridiculous. You don't invest in this stuff. He's just opened up his, what is it, $26 billion fund and said,
Starting point is 01:50:51 go ahead and get into cryptocurrencies. It's the first time now institutional vestors are starting to, so all the people who's talked it down are all starting to invest. It's gone up a thousand bucks. All right. So Bitcoin.
Starting point is 01:51:03 Don't know if that's the coin that's going to last, what the coin is. we have a crypto master course that we have put together with the Palm Beach Research Group. Tika Tuari from the Palm Beach letter is a Wall Street hedge fund manager who has helped more people understand and invest in cryptocurrencies than I think anybody else. We asked him to make an education course just for you so you can just go to what is it, CryptoCourse.com, smartcropocourse.com. You go to smartcryptocourse.com, learn all about it.
Starting point is 01:51:41 Before you invest, just see the future and understand it. Smartcropocourse.com. Glenn Beck, Mercury. Glenn Beck. If you missed any of the programs, just go to iTunes or to glenbeck.com. Grab the podcast. Have a safe weekend. We'll see you Monday.
