Patrick Courrielche, Matt Kibbe, and Sheriff Bob Songer dissect Silicon Valley's algorithmic control over human behavior and Washington State's unconstitutional Initiative 1639. They critique the New Zealand gun ban as a dangerous overreach while defending Second Amendment rights against mandatory medical record checks and age restrictions. The discussion highlights the conflict between state mandates and local law enforcement autonomy, warning that such erosion of constitutional protections signals the rise of a totalitarian state.

You have Home Title Lock, so I don't have to worry about that.
Yeah, is that why you're laughing?
Yeah, because I've gone down to the courthouse, and I'm just stealing everybody's homes.
Because it's so easy to do.
40 bucks, and I can do it.
Yeah, you just got a fake notary stamp, forge a couple documents.
So it's like Monopoly.
I've got all of the houses on my street.
Really?
Yeah, it should create that.
Really?
Oh.

This is a really bad thing.
Fastest growing crime, according to the FBI, where they can steal your home.
You don't know about it for quite some time.
And then the longer it goes on, the worse it is.
People have lost their homes because of this.
You can have one person guard.

there now.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
Well, here we are.
Stations, there is nothing wrong with the audio.
It's just Helium Thursday.
Where we can tell you anything, all the bad news, in this voice.
So we could talk about socialism.
We could talk about Facebook and Google controlling our lives.
We could even tell you today that China was coming for you.
And not for your labor or your stuff.
But they're going to view you as a giant bag of meat.
And yet, it'll all seem good.
Right?
It's Helium Thursday on the Glenn Beck program.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
We just have to find the right story today.
I mean, today is the day.
Today's the day.
I'm looking at the news and I'm like, where's the bad stories?
Where are the bad stories?
Come on.
There's a great story coming out today about President Trump and his poll numbers and what that might mean for this socialist agenda.
I mean, if we could really, if we could send the message to the Democrats clearly that socialism is not the way to go, we might put it back into its bag for a while.
Remember, that's what happened in what was it, 1921?
Was that the election?
Do you remember 1920, 21?
That's when we got the roaring 20s because we put that socialist revolutionary group back into the bag, at least for another, you know, 10, 12 years.
All right, let me tell you about Relief Factor.
Relief Factor is just a fantastic, I can't call it a drug.
What is it?
What would you call it?
Pain relief.
That's it.
I mean, it's all natural.
It shouldn't work.
Let me just say that.
If you believe in modern medicine, it shouldn't work because it's all natural and stuff from the earth and blah, It's a terrible tragedy when they give you something natural that you like and actually works for you.
I am an old-fashioned guy that, you know, four out of five doctors say, you know, menthol cigarettes are better for you than just plain old camels.
Really?
Is that what four out of five doctors say?
You probably don't remember.
You're not old enough.
Do you remember seeing smoking commercials on TV?
I do not.
I remember magazines.
They were in magazines.
Yeah, they were in magazines.
I remember them on television, and I don't remember these, but in the 1950s, they actually did ads where doctors would be in their doctor smock, and there'd be like, four out of five doctors smoke Palm all because they're easier on the throat.
Wow.
Wow.
Luckily, though, they had no heads up.
The tobacco company had no idea.
No, absolutely.
No idea.
Anyway, if you're in pain, try Relief Factor.
Relief Factor works for me.
It'll work for you.
It's really amazing.
If you're tired of the pain, Relief Factor may be the answer.
It works for 70% of the people that try it.
Just try it for three weeks.
If it doesn't work for three weeks, in those three weeks, it's not going to work for you, most likely.
But 70% of the people who try it order more month after month after month because it does work.
I've been taking it for over a year now.
ReliefFactor.com.
Take it three times a day, relieffactor.com.

Biden Candidate Tiers00:09:51
All right, let's take a look at the candidate list.
We may need helium.
I'm not sure yet, Sarah.
We may need helium for this because look at the wonderful list of candidates that we have coming our way.
And I don't think we need the helium quite yet, but there's a, we've been doing this.
We have a beta, and I don't mean this as it relates to beto, but a beta version of our power rankings.
If you are a fan of sports, you'll see this all across all the leagues.
They do like the SPN power rankings of the NBA and what teams are the best teams in the league, which ones are the worst.
And so we've done this with candidates.
We've got a formula that takes into account about 30 different categories between polling, fundamentals, fundraising, various different things.
And so we have an updated list that we've just put out.
Again, we're not completely final with the formula.
We're still working through that.
Would you like to go through this here, Glenn?
Sure, yes.
There's basically kind of five tiers of candidates right now.
You have the frontrunners.
You have those that got a shot.
You have those who, I mean, if everything goes right, maybe.
Then you have the fourth category, which is like, probably not.
And then you have the fifth category, which is like, I mean, come on.
What are you doing?
Well, I think that's where everybody put Donald Trump last time.
That is, yes, that is a handful of people.
Everybody was like, come on.
Right.
And that's why it adapts.
It takes the moment.
It looks at the polling.
It looks at all the stuff at that moment.
It's a snapshot.
Okay, go ahead.
So very bottom category.
It's a 0 to 100 scale.
Between 17 and 20, you have Marianne Williamson and John Delaney.
They are in the very bottom category.
Marianne Williamson, the guru?
Yes, the guru.
She's running for president.
It's an interesting one because there's not a crazy, there's a couple of scenarios that actually could give her rise in that she's like a Kardashian's guru, for example.
If Kim Kardashian comes out and starts tweeting about her candidacy a hundred times, you know what?
She is, she should be the Oprah guru.
The Oprah candidate, right?
Oprah loves her.
Yeah.
Just loves her.
She actually has a very big social following.
She's one of these new age gurus that's been on all those shows.
And that's not your world because it's certainly not mine.
But if it's not your world, you might not be aware that she actually has some reach.
Whether she turns into a candidate, I think she would need her celebrity friends to really pitch for her.
Okay, next category, which is, you know, probably not going to happen, guys.
We have Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Budijudge, Jay Inslee, John Hickenlooper.
They're all between, on our scoreboard, between 23 and 33.
So again, this is a 0 to 100 scale.
They're towards the bottom of this.
You know, I don't know if you see, do you see anyone out of there?
I mean, Andrew Yang has made some news, but I don't think he's coming out of it.
Not necessarily good news.
I mean, Pete Buttigudge is a favorite.
I would not rule him out for a vice presidential candidate.
It would be the first openly gay vice presidential candidate on either party.
I think the Democrats would like to set that precedent.
I'm so sick of that.
It's all they care about is identity.
I know.
I'm so sick of it.
What group can we, you know, can we take for our own benefit?
Okay, so next, now we're up to if everything goes right, maybe, which is Kirsten Gillibrand and Julian Castro.
Now, the exact opposite of everything going right is happening with Kirsten Gillibrand.
I mean, this is a zero of a candidacy so far.
I mean, she has been invisible.
She has had no success.
She's showing up south of Tulsi Gabbard in some of these polls.
This is not a good start for her.
You never know.
Maybe she could turn it around.
But I think I honestly would not, if I had to pick right now the first candidate of any note to drop out of this race, it's her.
This has just been a disastrous launch for Gillibrand, who's coming, you know, it's a New York senator.
You'd think there'd be some.
She's a disaster for a while, don't you think?
She's been a zero.
She's just a zero.
I kind of, I mean, but she's, she kind of hid herself into the news with the whole Me Too thing.
She was very publicly.
She went after Al Franken, by the way, and one of her big issues within the party is that.
Yeah.
Because people didn't like that the Me Too standards got applied to their guy.
I think if you like that.
I think the Me Too thing is so yesterday that it's just, you're just, if you were big in that movement in politics, I think that's just, it turned scummy.
I mean, it was just, it could have been good, but it became so political and so it was just marked in time.
Just marked in time.
Everyone knows the underlying premise is good.
Yes.
Right.
That women, if they are abused, should have justice.
That's correct.
However, people who jumped in to use it for a political tool don't come out looking so nice.
She's a zero.
Okay, so the next one is they've got a chance.
Three here in this category with a 48 score is Elizabeth Warren.
50, Amy Klobuchar.
54, Corey Booker.
Those are the three in that category.
Okay, out of that, Corey Booker, nope.
He's just a fake.
He's just a fake.
Yes.
He feels fake.
That Spartacus moment, I would love, love for him to be the candidate because he is so easy to mock and make fun of.
He is really.
He's just a total fake.
But I mean, when you're running in a field with Foca Hannis, I mean, fake is where it's at.
Elizabeth Warren, zero chance.
Zero chance.
Again, I've stopped saying zero chance over the years.
I remember the first time I said I will never say again there's a zero chance is when Howard Dean lost Iowa.
He was ahead by like a zillion points a week before that election in my recollection.
And then all of a sudden he lost and all of a sudden the whole thing fell apart.
He was killing it in that race for months.
And then he was just gone after one speech.
I mean, remember, he lost Iowa before that speech.
So that was not the cause of the game.
Why did that fall apart?
I mean, you know, Kerry just beat him.
I think, you know, Dean had a lot of the grassroots momentum and a lot of the far, far left.
Now, of course, Howard Dean would be an ultra conservative in this year's lineup.
Oh, my gosh.
An ultra conservative.
Oh, my gosh.
Not only would he not be allowed to be the progressive candidate, I don't think he'd be allowed in the party.
Yeah.
I have something really good to share with you about, you know, the masks coming off.
I have something really good to share with you today.
All right.
And the final tier is our frontrunners.
So in third place as of right now, according to the Glenn Beck program's candidate power ratings, Betto O'Rourke is, or Bob Frank O'Rourke is his real name.
He's at a 65 on this 0 to 100 scale.
Kamala Harris at 67.
And first place, Bernie Sanders, 69.
Now, again, Joe Biden has not announced yet, so he's not included in this.
I would be very surprised if he's not leading this once he does announce.
But, you know, who knows how long that lasts.
Joe Biden is going to be, I mean, I have no idea how this is because they're just eating their own.
But Joe Biden is the one that could unite everybody that is a Democrat, and they could say, oh, you know what?
Our party hasn't gone crazy.
Our party makes an excuse.
It gives him an excuse.
It's Joe Biden.
He's not crazy, blah, blah, blah.
It's who he puts on the underticket.
And I'm sorry, but Joe Biden was the most progressive in the Senate before he became vice president.
His point the other day when he said, I'm the most progressive person running for president, I mean the person who might run for president.
That whole moment is true.
People forget that he was a thing is he's been around a long time.
He's 144 years old.
So back in 1896, his policies kind of seemed conservative compared to where the party is today.
When he said things like, all of his old stances, we have one today, I think.
Oh, yeah.
Do we have this 1983 video clip here?
We play this real quick.
This is Joe Biden in 1983 on the Supreme Court.
President Roosevelt clearly had the right to send to the United States Senate and the United States Congress a proposal to pack the court.
It was totally within his right to do that.
He violated no law.
He was legalistically, absolutely correct, but it was a bonehead idea.
It was a terrible, terrible mistake to make.
And it's put in question for an entire decade the independence of the most significant body, including the Congress, in my view, the most significant body in this country, the Supreme Court of the United States of America.
No.
First of all, no.
But secondly, you're not allowed to be against court packing now.
Now it's like the main plank in the Democratic Party.
But can you bring that video back up for a second?
Because he's changed.
She's flip-flopped on positions on something else, too.
If you look at the picture of the video of Joe Biden, go ahead and roll that, please.
President Roosevelt clearly hasn't cut the sound.
He was also anti-hair plug at that point.
Supreme Court Independence Crisis00:03:15
Oh, yeah.
If you look, he clearly didn't have any hair plugs at that point.
In 1983, I would not have guessed.
I would have guessed that was a pre-1983 job.
Yeah, it did look like it.
It was like, it looks like one of those jobs where remember when they first came out and they were like, just like cornrows?
They just like, they just took a stock of corn and just planted it in your head.
It was so bizarre.
I would have thought that as well.
But that's a good look there on Joe.
When I come back, I want to share this.
You know, I said at some point the masks will come off.
I have a couple of good friends that send me old books and everything else.
They sent me something last night, and I want to share what they sent because it shows where we are.
It's a little bit of history that was foreshadowing today with the guy that everyone says is the architect of where we are today.
And I'll share that with you coming up in just a second.
First, let me tell you about RealEstateAgentsITrust.com.
When you look at where we are right now and you look at the price of homes, the price of homes is starting to fall.
And I think they will continue to fall even lower.
But as they do fall, the other thing that happens is rent goes up because more and more people are renting.
Rent has already gone up by 5%.
And I think rent is probably the future for most people because you're just not going to be able to get a loan.
Money is going to be tough.
Credit is going to be tough.
And so if you don't already own your home and you're not in a mortgage that can weather any kind of storm, that's going to mean trouble for you.

We break for 10 seconds.
Station ID.
All right.
So a couple of friends of mine, Jill and Doug, they run a bookstore and they used to live in Chicago and they lived on Obama Street or they had a bookstore like on Obama Street.
Real Estate Agent Trust00:14:52
And so they had access to all of these crazy, crazy liberals and crazy liberal professors.
And they weren't liberals.
They were communists, a lot of them.
And so as they were dying and their estates would go up, they'd go into their libraries and they would pull all of these documents and all of these books and things and they would send them down to me to preserve because it showed how these radicals were living behind a mask.
And it's why I said with such assurity that they're going to take off their mask.
They want to tell you what they actually believe.
They just keep telling, being told, it's not time yet.
It's not time yet.
So they sent me yesterday, and I have a book from Sololinsky's personal library, but I had forgotten about the book plate.
And most people don't know.
Do you know what a book plate is?
No.
It's kind of an old thing.
People don't usually have book plates now.
But when you would buy a book and you would have it in your library, if you had a nice library, if you were on the more wealthy side, you would have something designed that said your name from the library of Stu Bregier.
And then you would pick you'd have something designed and then they would paste it inside the front flap.
So when you open up the book, it said it was yours.
Seems like a lot.
No, it seems like a lot.
But in the days when books meant something and if you had a big library, you would do that.
This is Sololinsky's book plate.
Look what it is.
It's the drama mask.
You know the masks of tragedy and comedy.
So this is a mask from the theater.
And underneath, it says persona.
Now, notice persona is down towards the bottom where it's almost kind of like discarded, right?
And the mask is untied.
This is, persona is the thing that Carl Jung had said that, you know, it's the person you really are is hidden by this persona.
It's what you project to the world, okay?
So the persona is gone and the mask is off.
This is Saul Alinsky's book plate saying, I'm living behind a mask and we all are, but someday the masks will come off.
And we will discard the persona and show you who you really are.
Are we having, is there somebody on the stage here that's walking around with stilts?
I don't know if you can hear the knocking.
We're in the middle of a 90-day rehab of just the roof of this building and some of the electronics in this building.
And once in a while, they get up on the roof and do that.
I don't know if you can hear that, but somebody needs to tell them to stop, please.
It's a shocking thing that we do a radio show in this time period every day.
It's an utter, you know, it's a mesmerizing thing.
I know.
It's like at the lottery.
This is the day we're doing the radio show or this time period.
What?
I didn't know that.
Every day for 90 days straight?
It's wild.
It's craziness.
It's wild.
It's wild.
That's interesting.
I had never heard that from about Saul Olinski.
We've heard so much about the guy.
Yeah, well, he is, I mean, remember, he's the guy who has developed this whole system that has hijacked America and basically telling people, hide behind a mask.
But now they're so arrogant.
And I'm telling you with as much conviction as I did when I said the masks will come off.
Let me tell you this.
It will be their arrogance that destroys them in the end.
You're listening to Glenn Back.
All right, I want to talk to you a little bit about X-Chair.
The X-Chair is much more like a recliner than your typical office chair.
It is truly that comfortable.
I don't know if anybody else would describe X-Chair like a recliner, but would you agree with it, Stu?
I mean, this is not something they're telling us to say.
Put it in the commercial.
It's a recliner.
I think I might be the first person who said that, but I really, I mean, leaning back in this thing.
It's really comfortable when you lean back.
It is unbelievably comfortable.
You could still get work done in it.
It's not like...
Because, I mean, a recliner just might seem like you're going to...
It makes me go asleep.
But, you know, it's usually the pounding and the walking on the ceiling.
Yeah.
When they start the saws in a minute, it'll keep you away.
Yes.
So you could live in a recliner like an X-Chair.
X-Chair, they're the best.
Try it out.
They have a money-back guarantee.
It's $100 off right now.
Go to XChairbeck.com.
Use the code XWheels, XWheels, and you get a free set of X-Wheel blade casters.
Coming up, we're going to do a radio show with lots of banging and hammering in the background because that makes it so much better on the Glenbeck program.
I have the honor to introduce you to one of the best people I know.
His name is Mike Rowe.
The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe.
This is a great podcast that gives a unique take on American history.
He explores everything from pop culture to politics, athletes to actors, history to Hollywood.
It's called The Way I Heard It, and he shares stories for the curious mind with a short attention span.
Each episode is 10 minutes or less about a famous person or an event that you know, filled with surprising facts that you likely didn't know.
Start with episode 36.
Oh, brother.
I mean, you want to talk about a family divided by politics?
This story revolves around another presidential election about making America great again.
I love the big reveal at the end, but I won't spoil it for you.
You'll love it.
Go to micro.com/slash podcast and listen and subscribe to The Way I Heard It.
That's M-I-K-E-R-O-W-E dot com slash podcast.
That's microwave.com/slash podcast.
Directed.
Yeah, it's over.
He's totally right now.
I know.
Totally right.
Directed, Stu.
I mean, I came in here in a good mood.
Yeah.
I come in here in a good mood, and I thought, you know, here's a way to, here's a way to take even the bad news and make it fun.
And Stu says to me, how long can this be fun?
And I'm like, what?
How long can this be fun?
Forever.
It's eternal fun.
It's eternal fun.
All day.
That was the answer to the question.
There is no limit on the amount of time you could talk to a helium voice, which is odd because we've just done 20 years of radio without doing it all the time.
Why not all the time?
Well, because you used to have to pass out.
That's why.
It was really hard on you.
When you sucked helium into your lungs.
Pat and I used to do it.
We would do it once a week.
And Helium Tuesday.
Helium Tuesday.
And it would, it almost killed us.
Yeah, it does.
But we did it.
We did it because we like our audience.
Yes.
Well, we love our audience.
Yeah.
And our audience does.
They loved Helium Tuesday.
They loved it.
Would say I was speaking up as an advocate for the audience to question how long you planned on doing the helium.
There is no time limit on it.
There is no time limit.
There is none.
I said to him, I said, I could read any story and it's funny to be funny.
And he was like, no, it's not.
And I said, let me read a good news story.
Let me read the Trump poll numbers with Helium, and it's great.
And he's like, it should be for things that are bad.
And I'm like, see, I know that's, I know that's what we talked about.
And it does do that, but it also works on any story.
It works on almost anything.
There's nothing that it does.
So almost anything.
So there is a limit.
No, there's no gosh.
You are a new theoretical party.
You suck.
I'm asking a science question, which is, is there a theoretical limit to how long you could talk about this?
No, the answer to that is no.
So why did you ever do it through?
Until it stops being.
Because it would kill you if you did it every day.
Why would it kill you if you have a way of doing it?
Well, we have it now.
I just got it.
I got a new toy.
I got a new toy.
It does all kinds of things, but I stopped.
It makes you sound like Helium.
Let's just pretend.
That's great.
Let's just pretend we didn't have this conversation on the air.
And we're just starting the break all over, but on helium this time.
But Stu wrecked it.
Stu has wrecked it.
Just so everybody knows.
This is your stop safe.
Stu wreck is bad.
Stop.
No, it's not going to be bad.
This is what that is.
It's not going to be bad.
Here we go.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
It's Helium Thursday.
And Stu has already wrecked it.
I don't see why you say I wrecked anything.
Well, you're a drag.
You're a drag, man.
Okay, so you were talking about Hicken Looper.
Yes.
Yes.
And Hickenlooper yesterday had a town hall.
I believe this was yesterday, but it wasn't.
The day this happened is not important.
It was last night.
It was last night.
Okay.
And he was with Dana Bash, CNN.
And he revealed something very important about him.
So.
Well, don't you want to listen to that now?
Yeah, Missy.
I'd love that.
All right.
If you want to see an X-ray movie, wait, We can't have him on Helium.
Wait.
You can't have Hippocan pig and looper on Helium.
No.
That's just ridiculous.
It's hard to imagine a better word than Hickenlooper to say on Helium.
So I just want the audience to know that not once has Stu cracked even a smile.
He does not find this funny or entertaining in the least.
It's a fair summary of who I am.
Yes.
It's a fair summary.
All right, but here's John Nicken Looper.
You went to see an X-rated movie with your mother.
You have the floor, sir.
Thank you so much for that question.
Anytime.
I thought it was better to write a book to let people really see who you were and the dumb things you did as well as the smart things.
And where is that on the spectrum?
On the dumb side.
I was the youngest of four, and as I said, my dad died right after I turned eight.
And my mother and I had a pretty tempestuous relationship.
She was just the most amazing person.
And I went off to college, and for the first time, she was alone in the house.
And I didn't realize how powerful that was until I got home at Thanksgiving.
I promised, I called a friend in Philadelphia.
And these were, I didn't know what the next movie was.
We thought it was a little naughty, but we didn't think it was that bad.
Come on.
Again, you gotta understand, I was 18 years old.
Oh, wow.
So I came home.
My mother hated to cook.
I mean, she was a sweet.
Can we stop for just a second?
Seriously.
An 18-year-old that didn't know what an X-rated movie.
Wait till you hear the title.
That didn't know it was an X-rated movie.
Come on.
All right, go ahead.
Who got stuff done in her own right.
And I got home and she had this huge dinner laid out.
And I said, I promised, you know, I promised Jed that we would go to the movie theater and see this new movie.
You want to come?
And I, it's an ex-movie.
I don't know.
And, you know, I just, and she, I was sure that she wouldn't say no.
I made a mistake.
And she said, I'd love to go because she didn't want to be left alone in the house again.
It was a pretty famous movie, too.
So I took my mother to see Deep Throat.
The first scene is I didn't ask the question But I will tell you, I will tell you that my mother, my mother was, I'm sure she was mortified.
And I said repeatedly, I think we should leave.
I think we should go.
And my mother was the kind of person that rarely went to a movie.
She thought almost every movie would get on TV.
Obviously not this one.
But she was, she really, once she paid, she was going to stay.
And at the end, she knew that I was humiliated.
Wow.
Yeah.
So John Hickenlooper went with his mom to Deep Throat.
Buddy, at 18, which is a lie because he was actually 20.
Deep Throat didn't come out till he was 20 years old.
So he takes his mom, at 20 years old, to Deep Throat.
So, let me just ask the listener.
Doesn't the world seem to make sense when we tell you this story of a man who's running to be president of the United States?
It makes so much more sense when you say it in this voice.
Deep Throat Movie Reference00:02:15
Nothing.
I know.
Not yet.
He smiled.
He wrecked it.
He wrecked it.
I thought you got it.
We could do that.
You know what?
You laughed a lot.
I thought you'd love it.
From here on out, 8:30, Thursdays, Helium Turkey.
Helium Thursdays.
Helium Thursdays.
I love it too.
Yes.
Gone.
Perfect time to do it.
Take a break.
Think about this Democrat field, though.
You've got Hicken Looper who took his mom when he was 20 years old.
Let me ask you this.
He said it was an X movie.
No, I've never heard anyone refer to an X-rated movie as an X movie.
I never have either.
I mean, he's still, I'm just being honest here.
No, you're not.
Nobody says X movie.
He's like trying to seem unfamiliar with the for anybody at that time in that moment who's an adult, a 20-year-old human being, everybody knew what that movie was about.
Everybody knew it's not like, come on.
It's not like Jimmy Stewart where they're on the dance floor and it opens up to be the pool.
You know what I mean?
While they're doing the Charles.
What are they doing?
It wasn't that world.
He was in college.
What year was that?
72.
1972 in college.
I don't know what an X movie is.
Stop it.
Stop it.
So you got that guy.
You got Betto, who we found out yesterday, took poop out of his baby's diaper, put it in a bowl, and served it to his wife, telling her it was an avocado.
And that's different from him fantasizing about killing children when he was 15 years old.
You got Andrew Yang, who suddenly desired or decided that circumcision is a presidential issue somehow and says that we should not circumcise anymore.
You have Bernie Sanders, who sat around naked at a dinner table with a bunch of Soviets in the Soviet Union on his honeymoon.
You've got...
Not to mention, he said that women fantasize about being raped over and over again.
Right.
Another weird one.
I think we should go back to the helium.
It will be more tolerable.
It would be.
Much more tolerable.
Oh, man.
Thank you so much, Pat.
I appreciate it.
All right.
Finding the Right Person00:06:57
Unemployment is at record lows.
This is the economy of maybe a century, the economy of jobs of a century.
We've not been this low.
We're at record lows.
And so it's getting harder and harder to find a job, which is why, you know, many people, hopefully you, are getting raises because it's hard to find the right employee.
Yeah, you said it's harder and harder to find a job.
It's actually not hard to find.
Oh, you didn't mean a job, Job.
It's harder and harder to find someone to fill your job.
Correct.
That's what I meant.
I didn't mean that.
It's hard to find.
The game is kicking it a little bit.
It is a problem.
It really is.
Finding the right employee is the most important factor, and it's hard to find them now.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
So Fox News just hired Donna Brazile.
It's a strange hire.
Well, only because it's not a strange hire if, you know, you're trying to have balance and blah, But I don't need to hear from Donna Brazil.
And Donna Brazil is so clearly dishonest.
Yeah, because they have plenty of Democrats on Fox News, and that's an accepted part of what they do there.
But she was, when she was on CNN, she was the one that was leaking the debate questions to the candidate.
To Hillary.
I mean, that doesn't get any more dirty and shady and operative than that.
It does seem like there's not another role for you in certainly in political media after that.
Like, is there a role for you as a shady lobbyist and like, you know, Paul Manafort style for like Ukraine?
Right.
Sure.
Maybe that's still a role that's open.
Why should I listen to you?
Why would I listen to your opinion when I know now you're an operative?
That's the problem with the news channels is people don't have a problem with people who have opinions.
They just want them to be the real opinion.
You know what I mean?
Not some hidden agenda opinion.
And well, you know, I really think, and when you don't, they want people just to say what they feel, what they think.
And Donna Brazil is not an honest broker.
No, not even close.
And she was caught.
We all know a lot of them are not honest brokers.
She was actually caught doing it.
I mean, it's hard to understand why you would want her, you know, as a career.
Well, I can tell you because CNN is going to, I mean, Fox News is going to change.
Now, the real change is coming because now the Murdoch kids are taking over.
Yeah, although, I mean, they've been in charge for a while and there hasn't been much of a change in approach.
They hate Fox.
I've certainly read that before.
Remember, Roger used to tell me that all the time.
When those kids take over, it's only a matter of time because they were always pushing back on Fox.
And it was because they are hanging out in all the Hollywood circles.
They're hanging out with all the elitist friends.
And they're all saying to them every day, how can you do this?
How could you possibly do this?
And so they're going to start trying to compromise.
And they already have.
You've already seen it.
And they're going to start compromising and compromising.
Pretty soon there'll be nothing left.
I hope that doesn't happen.
Hopefully, that's not true.
I really hope that doesn't happen.
Because, you know, you like money too.
And it's a money-generating machine.
Machines.
You don't want to screw that up.
Yeah.
That's, you know, even for a billion dollars.
They don't seem to care.
They don't seem to care at CNN.
What they're doing at CNN is costing them money.
Their ratings are horrible.
Their prime time ratings are as bad as our best ratings at headline news.
Now, remember, headline news was not competitive at all.
It was the fourth also ran.
And so if you wanted your news in 30 minutes, you went to headline news.
But when we first started doing real programming on headline news, it was hard to get an audience.
Their prime time is now doing that kind of level numbers.
It's amazing.
It's incredible.
The idea that like talking about Donald Trump constantly is good for ratings, I mean, it seems to work on MSNBC at some level.
Like they've had a pretty good run as far as ratings have gone.
I think because they're honest about who they are to some degree, they're like, yeah, we're against the administration.
Where CNN is trying to pretend that they're news, but they're not.
And so I think it's the dishonesty of CNN, the mask.
We are credible news.
How dare you call us fake news?
And you have Jim Acosta.
I mean, it just doesn't, it doesn't, people are smarter than that.
They're smarter than that.
It's hard to accept because, I mean, literally every story.
I mean, you can go through, you go through their primetime lineup.
Every single story is about Donald Trump.
Every story.
It's like, I don't, that can't be the reality of the United States of America with 330 million people in it that only one of them is worth talking about.
That just can't be true.
But that is what you get from CNN and MSNBC.
I want to give you the poll numbers too of Donald Trump because the Politico just came out with a great story about he's going to steamroll if the economy stays the way it is.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.

This is the Glenbeck program.
Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Dragonfly in China.
And the mixing of tech and our intelligence community has already happened.
Now tech and the government coming together.
People are saying in Washington that they want to break these tech companies up.
What does that mean for you?
And is that the right thing?
Or is that, quite honestly, I think, a bluff?
Something that politicians are saying to get them to toe the line and give them access to the information that they are looking for.
We go into that and Red Pill America in one minute.
This is the Glenn Beck program.
All right.
There is a national shortage right now of auto technicians, and that's making getting your car fixed even more expensive.
Apparently, the car tech is aging out now, and there's nobody who wants to be a car mechanic.
I mean, it's really amazing what's happening to us here in America.
People are just not willing to do the things that, you know, a regular job.
They're not willing to fix a car.
And it's getting tougher and tougher, and you have to become more and more skilled.
You're working with computers now.
If you're underneath a car, you're not just doing it at a desk.
You're underneath a car.
I mean, even if you learned how to fix cars back in the day, it doesn't do no good now.
No, no, no.
So it's becoming more expensive to fix your car.
And if you have a car that's run out of warranty, I mean, just replacing a sensor could cost you $1,000.
So most people just cannot handle a $300, $500 repair to their car that just pops up, you know, a check engine.
When that light goes off, you're like, oh, no.

We have Patrick Karelchi here.
He is the host of Red Pilled America, but I'd like him to spend just less than a minute telling us who he is because he was nominated for a Pulitzer by Andrew Breitbart for a series that he did that I remember covering on Fox that was truly terrifying during the Obama administration.
Welcome to the program, Patrick.
Thanks for having me, Glenn.
You bet.
Tell people, remind them of what you exposed during the Obama administration on that particular topic.
Yeah, back in 2009, I was invited to a White House conference call, and the meeting looked kind of weird.
It looked like they were going to be trying to do some kind of a switcheroo with the big National Endowment for the Arts and potentially use it to put out propaganda.
So I went to the meeting, and it was a conference call meeting, a bunch of people on it, 100 people or so.
Media was on it, artists were on it.
And I recorded the phone call.
It was with my iPhone, and it was before we all started using these iPhones in that way.
And I remember you asking me about that back then.
So I recorded a call and basically caught them what many people were saying.
It was a violation of the Hatch Act, which is basically you can't use federal funds to push policy.
And so I did a story on it, published it with Breitbart News.
You helped me put it out there nationally on your show at the time.
And somebody ended up, you know, they initially denied it and said that nothing was going wrong and kind of started attacking me behind the scenes.
And then eventually somebody resigned from the White House.
So it ended up being kind of my first big story, my first big foray into storytelling.
It was a multiple part series.
And now here I am.
Now here you are.
And you don't have a you never went to school for this.
You're an actual an applied physicist.
But now you're doing something that I think is really important.
You've got a podcast called Red-Pilled America, and you're on the third part now, the virtual organism.
Explain what this is.
We did a multiple series deep dive into Silicon Valley.
And, you know, I think you speak a lot about AI and the problems with AI and kind of what it's going to be doing to us in society.
And we take a real deep dive into Silicon Valley.
And we kind of touch on this topic that basically some of our biggest fears are kind of already here.
I mean, you have this huge collection of human beings and data and computing.
And we look at Silicon Valley and some of these organizations as virtual organisms because they have become so powerful.
They control so much of our lives.
We speak a lot about Hollywood and how basically, you know, we criticize Hollywood and the way that they come at us.
Hollywood is a one-way street.
They spew their ideas and their messages at us, but it's only one way.
With Silicon Valley, it's a two-way street in that they follow us everywhere that we go.
They know everything that we do.
They know all of our friends.
And guess what?
They have a political ideology as well.
And if you don't follow that political ideology, they hurt you.
So we follow, we basically look at the story of YouTube, the origin story of YouTube, to kind of get an understanding of these big organizations and where they came from, how they got so big.
And that's what we do in part one.
We basically look at the Vimeo, which really was the very first video hosting site.
And we look at them and see how basically YouTube stole the idea from them and how they basically created this huge, this was one of the hugest value transfers in modern history by using copyright and basically disregarding copyright.
And they basically took Hollywood's value away from them and benefited from that.
And they were able to use certain laws that they passed about a decade or so earlier.
So we really go into the Silicon Valley thing.
And the main point that I'm trying to get through with this series, and once again, it's Red-Pilled America, Red-Pilled America.
It's on the iHeartRadio app.
The main point I'm trying to get across is we need to start looking at these companies differently because they've created digital town halls that we are having a problem having the ability to speak within.
And conservatives in the right, we like to look at these things as private property and, oh, okay, we shouldn't be touching these things.
But there's a completely different thing going on here.
It's brand new.
And if they've created the digital streets, the digital sidewalks, the digital town halls that we are going to be talking on, we have to be able to speak at these places.
And there's been Supreme Court rulings on this, Marsh versus Alabama, where private property in these company towns back in the day, it's been ruled that even if it's private property, if they own the town hall, we still have the ability to speak at these locations.
So we delve into all of these topics in this three-part series.
We're talking to Patrick Karelchi.
He is from redpilledamerica.com.
You can find his podcast, Red Pilled America, on the iHeartRadio app.
And it is well worth your time.
He is looking at things and looking from the angle of red state America, but not a sellout to it, just asking the questions that you would ask.
Patrick, I am, have you read Surveillance Capitalism yet, the book?
No, I haven't.
Okay, so I disagree with a lot of stuff in it, but it is a very good look at what is coming and what they truly are working on.
And the most chilling understanding.
I mean, as I read this book, I'm looking at this technology and what's coming out of Silicon Valley and all the algorithms and their search for the ultimate AI much differently now.
I mean, I've I've understood it enough to be frightened by it and excited by it, but I am understanding it in a new way in this way, Patrick.
And what they're looking for is 100 percent certainty.
So they're looking at our patterns.
And for instance, Facebook can tell you you're on your way.
You're going to cheat or you're going to get a divorce.
And they can just tell, they know who's doing it or going to do it because the pattern is there.
And they have so much data.
And they're looking for more and more data to be able to predict with absolute certainty.
Once they can predict with absolute certainty, they can then shape us any way they need to shape us to nudge us.
I mean, it is the ultimate Cass Sunstein.
We don't need advertisers and people to nudge us.
The algorithms will nudge us.
And that kind of power in anybody's hands, I don't care if it's government or the private industry, is very dangerous for any republic, any free people.
You know, we spoke to, when we spoke to the creator of Vimeo, he's a programmer, and he had a very poignant comment that I think kind of touches on what you just said there.
He said that the philosophy of the creator gets embedded in the creation, that their morality, their values, their crazy ideas, they all become part of the fabric of the algorithms that they create.
So when you have this enormous, these enormously powerful companies in Silicon Valley that are admittedly hard left, their values are embedded into this code.
So like using the example that you just said about adultery or cheating, a lot of these algorithms are maximized for clicks.
They want interaction.
And so if they see that kind of behavior coming, they can actually encourage it because they understand what kinds of things is going to make this person in this state of mind click.
And, you know, it becomes this very, you know, how do we solve this problem?
And I think that's the big discussion that we need to be having right now.
We all understand that there's a major issue.
It's really now, what do we do about this?
What policies should be enacted?
And I am in the same camp as you in that I fear that the government will try to grab the steering wheel and move it in their direction and try to take as much advantage of this as they possibly can.
But I also fear that our representatives aren't speaking about this as much.
Really, Ted Cruz, when Mark Zuckerberg was on the kind of being interrogated by the committee, Ted Cruz was really the only guy that was really asking the kinds of questions that we need to be asking right here.
And that really makes me wonder, why is it that Ted Cruz was the only guy that was really kind of hitting him on some of these questions?
And I really, we need to be having a major, major discussion and put aside our rigid ideologies about how we should be dealing with these private companies because this is a different thing that we have going on.
They know more about us than any government agency has ever known about any U.S. citizen.
Oh, if Hitler would have had half of this technology, there would not be a Jew left on earth.
So true.
So true.
And so, you know, I would really love if people would take the time, check out Red Pilled America.
It's on the iHeartRadio app.
Take the time to really delve into these issues and understand that there is something different going on here, that these people have created, they're creating these digital nation states.
It is our projection, our real-life projection of ourself is now being projected online.
Facebook, for example, they have become the identity of our online identity.
They actually authenticate our online identity.
When they take you off of Facebook, you lose the ability to easily log into thousands of websites from there.
And what does that do to human beings when that happens?
How are they ostracized when that happens?
These are the kinds of things that we need to be talking about.
I've heard a lot of people speak about, okay, we need a digital Bill of Rights.
I think we already have a Bill of Rights, and we just need to basically apply it online.
Need a Digital Bill of Rights00:02:48
Real quick, Patrick, and then I'll cut you loose.
Should we be breaking them up?
You know, it's something that a lot of people are talking about.
I'm not a policy expert.
I've heard multiple different approaches to this.
Breaking up is one of them.
I've heard of people talking about transparency in the code, that if we have a transparency in what they're doing, that could help solve the problem.
Breaking up is definitely, I think, should be on the table because they keep gobbling up their competition.
Facebook gobbles up Instagram.
You know, anytime they gobble up WhatsApp, anytime another one of these social media things start to rise up, Google gobbles up YouTube.
There's a reason why they're doing it.
They understand the network effects of having these massive, massive amounts of users and how they could benefit from that.
So I do think that it should be on the table, but I think there's also other things that we should be looking at as well.
Patrick, thank you so much.
It is Red Pilled America.
You can find it at redpilledamerica.com, the podcast.
Really well worth your time.
This is the third in the series, is it not?
Yes, yes, it is.
And they're all worth all worth listening to.
And you'll find it on the iHeartRadio app.
Patrick, thank you so much.
All right.
Let me tell you about a VPN.
Remember what Patrick said, and people don't really understand this.
They are following you all the time to be able to predict your movements with 100% certainty.
That is terrifying.
I don't want anyone to be able to predict me with 90%, 50% certainty.
That's really disturbing.
If you have a VPN, they're not following you.
They can't follow you.
A VPN is a virtual private network.
And you see it in movies where it's like, where's that coming from?
Oh my gosh, it's in Tokyo.
No, it's in Russia.
No, it's in Brazil.
It is something that you are using someone else's computer somewhere else in the world.
So it's a virtual network.
This stops people from tracking you, stops people from hacking you.
It is the safest way to be online.

The interesting thing about this is this accumulated power and wealth.
You know, when Rockefeller died, his son was given the keys to the kingdom.
And they told him, the accountants got together and said, Do you realize how much money you have?
And he said, yeah, it's a lot.
And they said, no, do you really?
We need to look.
We need to show you with just like 3% or 5% compounded interest on this money.
Because people, I've had people say that.
Do you realize how much money you have?
It's usually a negative.
Right.
Do you realize how much money you have?
Because it's not working.
It's not positive.
Yeah, you're not able to afford this.
Go away.
They said, we just want to show you with compounded interest that in two generations, your family, whoever's running the family, will have more money than most economies in the world, if not every economy.
You may beat America as the largest holder of cash.
It's quite a statement.
Right.
It was standard oil.
So think of the money that was coming into that one family.
So that's why Rockefeller started giving away money as fast as he could because he knew he couldn't keep up.
You could give it away and you still are not beating the compound interest.
You're just reducing it for future generations, but they will still have so much money, it won't matter.
Okay.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
And you've seen how the Rockefeller Foundation, just that one alone has influenced public opinion, has influenced the arts and everything else.
The money that the Rockefellers have put out created national parks.
The money that they had has influenced us and continues to influence us today.
Nobody's talking about the money that Google has, the power and influence that Google has in that way.
We know what it is today.
What will it be in 10 years?
What will it be in a generation from now?
Yeah, I mean, it is a major question to wrestle with because you're centralizing a lot of influence for future generations among a very small group of people.
That being said, I mean, what Patrick brought up, I mean, he hits on a lot of my worries about this talk, which is like, you know, again, they built this.
And I, you know, maybe this, you know, I'd have to, I was not familiar with the Supreme Court ruling that he mentioned.
I want to look into that.
I mean, I know he goes through that in the podcast.
I want to listen to that because the case is someone smart making the case that these things either should be broken up or action taken that would make conservatives uncomfortable is a very popular sort of idea right now.
I'd like to hear somebody, you know, kind of smart make the case that isn't just like, well, my Twitter's shut down, darn it.
Like a lot of it seems to be just sort of frustration, which is understandable because of the way that they're treating conservatives.
But I, you know, you get really hesitant when you talk about Google who has created by them, you know, their, it's their business.
They created it.
You know, the fact that they are doing things that you don't like with it just means you should try something else, usually.
So I'd like to hear that case really spelled out.
We're just in a different place now.
Rockefeller had all that money and he could influence us and he did.
They influenced us in ways you don't even know.
But I keep coming back to this idea of they are creating algorithms of absolute certainty.
That's what they're after, is certainty.
So then they can move you.
Now, be that political, be that buy this product over this product.
It is control, unseen, unknowable control over each of our lives, possibly for the rest of our lives.
That's different.

It's pretty amazing.
That's coming up.

Listen to this story.
I'm standing here this morning outside of police headquarters because one of our guests on the show, later on Twitter, who has a boy who was a son who was born a boy, then transitioned to a girl, they were referred to the wrong pronoun as a he or a boy.
That was the debate on Twitter.
As a result of that, Susie Green said that she found this actually distressing and spiteful, made a complaint to Surrey Police, who now tell us that they are actually investigating as a hate crime.
Hate crime have a maximum prison sentence of anything up to two years.
This is at a time, of course, when we've been talking about it a lot on the program with rising knife crime around the country and also violence is soaring in the UK as well.
Should the police be prioritizing crimes like this?
Crimes?
Is it a crime?
Crimes like this.
To say what so the gender that someone was born as, even if you disagree.
You could go to jail for two years for saying that in England.
Two years.
And while knife crimes are soaring, yeah, why are knife crimes soaring?
Because people will kill people.
You take away the gun, they'll kill people with knives.
You take away the knives, they'll kill people with rocks.
This is a human trait, and we're ignoring all of the human traits.
Yeah, and I think it was, was it Tim Poole that was on Joe Rogan's podcast a few weeks ago?
We played the clips of him with the Twitter.
And he made a great point, which I had never really thought about, which is they talk about misgendering on social networks, which is, okay, as they just explained, a man has transitioned to a woman and you call them a man.
That is misgendering, and they'll kick you off Twitter for that.
In Great Britain, you can get a couple of years in jail, apparently, for it.
However, to half the country, the idea that you would misgender someone is the opposite.
Where if you call someone who has supposedly transitioned from male to female, if you call them a female, you are misgendering them according to science.
According to science and about half the country.
So there is a real political undertone.
It's not a fact-based judgment.
No.
It's saying which side of this argument is correct and then enforcing their side only.
Have you seen the movie Brexit yet?
I've seen parts of it.
You know, Oscar Cumberbunch.
That's not Benedict Cumberbatch?
Yeah, okay.
There's a lot of syllables.
That's all I remember.
Yeah.
I actually love him.
I think he's a great actor, great actor.
There's this movie out called Brexit, and I watched it last night, and it is really worth your time watching.
Because I had the impression, I saw about half an hour of it, and I've DVR'd it.
I watched it with one eye, and I don't know British politics well enough to know how.
In fact, we've got a guy from Scotland who's now my executive assistant, and I'm going to ask him to watch it and tell me the subtle things that I might have missed.
But it seemed pretty fair to me.
Well, yeah, because I was expecting it to be the leave side would be trashed and the stay side or remain side would be praised.
That's what I was expecting.
And no, they split the leave side into two camps, the Steve Bannon camp, because Steve was part of that, and the Steve Bannon camp that was using race to say, we got to get out.
And then the not Nigel Farage, the Daniel Hannon side.
And that's, you know, Cumberbunch's side.
Cumberbatch.
And you see them find they're starting to use algorithms.
And this new company comes in from Canada.
And Bannon is using Cambridge Analytica, okay?
And he's finding all kinds of stuff out.
But the other side of Exit, they don't know any.
They're not dealing with them at all.
In fact, they say we don't want anything to do with those guys.
But they're using this new scientific data as well.
And they find that people are really seething under the surface.
And the government people, they just don't get it.
They don't get it.
The exit people or the stay-in people, they don't see it coming at all until this scene.
And I want you to listen to this.
Now, this is a scene from the movie, and it is a focus group where the focus group person is not making the case to the focus group that the government really wants to make, that these things are not true, and they're really going to hurt you and blah, blah, blah.
So they have everybody, a representative from all of these different viewpoints in society.
And the first time they meet, it's not so clear.
But as the exit people find them first and start to listen to them and amplify the voice of those who feel unheard, those who feel unheard and have felt unheard for a long time start to express it loudly in this focus group.
And it's amazing.
It shuts down the entire thing.
This is what's happening in America as well.
I want you to listen to this and see if you don't relate in some regard.
What will happen is that's the government's currency will collapse and the economy will contract.
How do you know that?
You not get things wrong all the time.
I don't know why we pay anything.
To be a member of the single largest trading block in the entire world.
But what benefit am I seeing from that where I'm from?
I'd rather it go in the NHS, like they're saying.
Ah, you do realize.
People making these promises, people that you have never heard of, Dominic Cummings, that they're not elected, they're not going to form a government, despite having made billions of pretend spending promises post-Brexit, that they have no power or responsibility to see any of it through.
Okay, we could take a little break.
Or Aaron Banks and his diamond mine in South Africa, or Nigel Farage, the old stockbroker, Boris Johnson, Jacob Reese Mogg, yeah?
They're going to be fine, aren't they?
This is just a game to them, a debating society.
But the risk to you and your children.
There's no risk.
Come to where I'm from.
There's nothing to lose.
We've got something to lose.
Arij, you've got your life.
You've had your job.
It doesn't matter to you.
Take a risk.
Solid.
Thank you very much.
I lost everything.
Because you are nervous about people with a different colour skin and a different voice.
Oh, thank you very much.
I'm sick of being called that.
What did I call you?
What did I call it?
You know what you were calling me.
You know what you were calling me.
I don't.
Racist.
Racist.
When I say you're saying that She's right It's chaos We can't say nothing now without that coming up And that's slowly.
I'm a racist.
There's no need to.
There was an umpire.
All you like and say, I've had my life coming from your big city.
The past few years have been f ⁇ ing awful.
That's right.
So let's make a single.
And all I hear.
Oh, my God.
It's shut.
Shut up, shut up.
Don't talk about it.
Don't mention it ever.
Well, I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of feeling like nothing.
Like I have nothing.
Like I know nothing.
Like I am nothing.
I'm sick of it.
That is what's happening all over the world and it's happening here.
You were told over and over again by the experts and then by the other people at the table, well, you're just this.
And you're like, no, I'm not.
Well, yes, you are.
And you're only doing this because, look, I've got nothing else to lose.
Now come to where I live.
To where I grew up, there's nothing left, and you're taking away everything that I've loved.
They talk about, they talk to this one group of people, and it's all a reenactment, but it's very well done.
And they talk to this couple who are living out in the middle of nowhere, and it's just a hellhole of a neighborhood now.
And they're like, This used to be a great neighborhood.
This used to be my kids won't even come back.
And the woman starts to cry.
And she said, I just want something back that I recognize.
And from that moment on, you start to understand what's really happening.
And it's happening here in America.
It's what I missed during the Trump, the first Trump election.
People feel when she said at the end, there, I'm sick and tired of it.
I'm sick and tired of being called names and blamed for everything, and then told I can't have a place at the table.
I can't say anything.
I shouldn't recognize that this is a problem.
I can't recognize that I disagree with that.
I just have to shut up.
And she starts to cry.
And I'm just tired of it.
I'm just tired of it.
That's happening all over the world.
And until the media really starts to take those people seriously, those people will not be silenced.
You are not going to steamroll over those people.
And no fair or just society would.
This is the way Martin Luther King felt in the 1950s, in the 1960s, until he stood up.
And if you continue to do this, this is what those people will do eventually.
I don't know how long it will take.
But they're Americans.
They have a right to be at the table.
They have a right to be heard.
They have a right to not be called racist unless they are truly racist.
You show up and you're for the Nazis.
You're a socialist.
You're a national socialist.
You're not a conservative.
And that's not an American point of view.
Americans hope to someday be able to build a society where all men are created equal and they are treated equally.
We're not there, but we're getting worse.
We're not getting better because all we're doing is picking at scabs and then silencing anyone else that says, wait, this isn't right.
This isn't true and this is destroying us.
Stop picking at the scabs and start listening to people what they're really saying when they cry out and say enough.
What they're really saying is, I'm tired of being isolated.
I know that's what Sololinsky taught you to do, but he didn't teach you what to do when I'm sick of it and I rise up unless that's what Karl Marx taught you, which was kill them.
What's your answer?
For those who are picking at the scabs, what are you going to do when those people say, I can't take it anymore?
Simply safe.
Simply safe.
The run-up to the next election is going to be crazy.
And, you know, with the way we're going of hate the rich and your stuff is my stuff, you need to protect your family.
You need to protect your home and your stuff.
I hate to have this attitude, but if you're not recognizing what we're heading for, you're going to feel less and less safe.
And SimplySafe wants you to feel safe at home.
Everybody should feel safe.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Now, I want to play some audio that came out earlier this week, but we never really spent some time on the radio show talking about Ted Koppel and what he said.
You know, he came out in a discussion with the Carnegie Endowment for International Police or for Peace.
And he said, you know, Donald Trump is right.
He's right.
Listen to this.
His perception that the establishment press is out to get him doesn't mean that great journalism is not being done.
It is.
But the notion that most of us look upon Donald Trump as being an absolute fiasco, he's not mistaken in that perception.
And he's not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, describe themselves as belonging to the resistance.
What does that mean?
That's not said by people who consider themselves reporters, objective reporters of facts.
That's the kind of language that's used by people who genuinely believe, and I rather suspect with some justification, that Donald Trump is bad for the United States.
And the sooner he's out of office, the better they will like him.
Whether that happens by virtue of indictment, impeachment, or election, we'll see.
What do you make of that?
Very honest.
It's very honest.
It's the most honest thing I've heard.
I think very true, right?
I mean, that is exactly where so many journalists are.
And it's why fake news is a thing.
It's why it's an effective tactic for people on the right to mention.
Because so much of it, sometimes there's basis or at least a hint of basis behind these stories, but they blow them up into these ridiculous proportions and do everything they can to magnify it.
They do everything they can to make it as bad as possible for the president because they believe that to get him out with any means necessary is the right thing to do.
Correct.
When he says there isn't good journalism happening, I think he's both right and wrong.
There is.
There is.
But good journalism requires both sides.
They're only exposing one side.
You've got to do it to both.
Otherwise, it isn't journalism.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
I want to talk to you about a movie that is coming out.
It's our spotlight sponsor of the hour.
It is Best of Enemies.
It is a true story about Ann Atwater.
She was a civil rights activist.
This is in 1971.
And C.P. Ellis, and he's described as a segregationist in Durham, North Carolina.
But he was actually the grand cyclops, the exalted cyclops of the Klan.
We have to spend some time just on that at some point.
But anyway, they were on this committee together and they were told, you guys work out this school resegregation or desegregation.
It is opening up on April 5th.
They became friends.
He had a change of heart.
It's called Best of Enemies.
There are a couple of Academy Award winners that are in this.
This is a really great movie.
Best of Enemies.
Go to bestofenemies.movie and you can see the trailer and learn more about it.
It again opens April 5th.
bestofenemies.movie The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
This is the Glenbeck program.
There is a very optimistic prediction about Donald Trump and the 2020 election, but it comes with a pretty big if.
If.
We're going to start there in one minute.
This is the Glenbeck program.
Social Security Number Risks00:02:21
Also, I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock.
LifeLock is our sponsor.
They warn you that your Social Security number is out there.
That's worth about a dollar on the dark web.
It's when they can put together your Social Security number with a bunch of other things.
That's when it becomes very valuable.
For instance, if somebody can hack into a doctor's files and get your file, that's worth $1,000.
And they'll make a lot of money on that because that has your place of birth, your email addresses, credit card information, social security number, everything.
So now they can really go after you and your money and your credit.
There are hackers that are doing this 24-7, and most doctors in a 2017 survey showed that the healthcare providers, only 16% of them had fully functional cybersecurity on their files.
That's a huge target, and you're done if they get your files from your doctor.
LifeLock stands guard.
LifeLock is monitoring.
Now, nobody can monitor all businesses and all transactions.
However, they uncover the things that you're probably going to miss on your own.
And I think where the money comes in is they have people here that work to fix all of those problems.
So if somebody does steal your identity, you don't have to worry about it.
They take care of it because it is, I mean, it's just a nightmare.
Have you ever had to have, don't get me started on Apple and my iPad that died on me the other day and my phone died at the same time.
Had a fun week with that stuff.
Oh my gosh.
Four days, four days of just changing my passwords.
And I, what's your keychain password?
I don't even know what the keychain password is.
What does that mean?
Give me your iCloud password.
I don't know what that password is.
I was about to lose my mind.
That's the way it is if somebody hacks in, but it goes on for years.

Economic Fumbling Before Election00:15:11
All right, I want to give you this from Politico and Ben White.
He says, economic models, economic models, point to a Trump blowout in 2020, but a faltering economy or giant scandal could change everything.
Donald Trump has a low approval rating.
He's engaged in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations.
But if the election were held today, he would likely ride to a second turn in term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of pricking presidential winners and losers.
A strong U.S. economy featuring low unemployment, rising wages, low gas prices are the reason.
This is also a historic advantage held by incumbent presidents, and they usually win.
While Trump appears to be in a much stronger position than his approval rating and conventional beltway wisdom might suggest, he could also wind up in trouble if the economy slows markedly between now and next fall.
Other legal bombshells could explode the current scenario.
Trump's party managed to lose the House in 2018 despite a strong economy.
So the models could wind up being wrong this time around.
The 2020 election, the new Congress, the Mueller investigation, all of these things are going to play a role.
But the economy is, quoting, so damn strong right now.
And by all historic precedent, the incumbent should run away with it.
That's the chief investment offer for trend macroanalytics.
I don't see how the blue wall could resist this economy.
It's pretty amazing.
I mean, if you look at that standard that has been, generally speaking, right for a long time.
I mean, this, again, Carville was the guy who kind of came up with this theory when it comes from a consultant to say, you don't have to worry about the other stuff.
It's the economy stupid.
And the reason, if you remember this election, George Bush was a year away from a 80% approval rating and lost because the country went into, by all appearances and history, now we know for sure it was a minor recession that was actually over before the election.
It was over before the election, but because there was a minor recession going on, he was in the middle of had just finished off a successful war.
Things were going really well in pretty much every other aspect of politics, with the exception of a recession in the economy, and that cost him the election.
I mean, along with other factors, certainly, you know, the Perot factor was there, and it was a complicated election.
But the bottom line was, if you focused on the economy and you were able to keep that positive, the same thing was kind of proved out in 96 when, you know, Clinton's presidency was not going all that smoothly, but the, you know, the economy was going okay.
And again, he won.
Here's what concerns me is the president loves these tariffs.
He just loves them.
He does.
He really does believe that they're the right policy.
And these tariffs are hurting the people that are unheard.
Remember, we were talking about the movie Brexit, and I played that audio where people are like, I'm sick of it.
There's a couple of things.
The reason why he won is because he tapped into and he instinctively heard the things that people were saying that everybody else missed.
He tapped into those people who are like, I'm losing control of my life.
Now, some of those people, a lot of those people were farmers.
And those farmers and those people who are being hurt by these trade deals, I mean, bankruptcies for farms, is it an all-time high?
Yeah, I think it is an all-time high or it's close to an all-time high.
Yeah, I mean, it might have been beaten by the depression, but it's up there.
And nobody's reporting on that because nobody in the media lives around farmers, and so they don't care.
But he's got to take care of those farmers.
And a government subsidy is not the way to do it.
Farmers don't want the handout.
Now, maybe the big farm, you know, the corporate farms don't mind that.
But the farmers I know don't want a handout.
They just want somebody to lift the boot off their neck.
They want to do it.
That's why they're there.
And I think the president, he's he, if, if he gets the trade deal done with China, because I want to give him the benefit of the doubt that he has good people around him.
I know he loves trade deals, not trade deals, trade tariffs.
Sure.
He loves them.
He ran on that and was very clear about it in the campaign.
Always been very consistent on that.
Right.
But the people around him know they don't work.
Now, he has said, I'm doing this so I can get a better deal from China.
Okay.
That's good.
People like Larry Kudlow, for example.
Right.
Now, if that's true, when you get the deal, take this tariff away.
If you take this tariff away, you are going to flood money back into the system and you'll be able to juice the economy again.
And you'll see even better results than what we're seeing right now because we have a good economy right now.
But it's fragile.
It's very fragile.
Yeah.
I mean, if you want to be, you know, this is obviously high risk and it's probably not what's happening.
But if you want to be cynical about it, if the economy is fumbling at all as we approach the election, this is a major bullet in the chamber for Trump to utilize because if he were to free the economy, let's say a month before the election or two months before the election, excuse me, it probably would make the economy, even if it's just for a short-term sugar burst, the economy would go crazy when they thought this was over.
If he could signal that at the right time, it would really increase his chances of being reelected.
If he did it anytime this year or in the second quarter of 2020, if he did it in spring of next year, it would give a sugar burst.
I think it has to be a little earlier than two months, but maybe as late as spring of next year, he could get away with taking that foot off that break and putting it on the gas, and it will help.
Because I think there are people that are willing to do what they have to do.
I mean, what was it?
Bill Maher said.
You know, let's pray for a recession.
I mean, there are those who will do bad things.
I'd like the president to know he has a bullet in his gun, and all he needs to do is just pull the trigger and stop with the trade war.
And it could ensure his presidency for another four years.
A lot of crazy things happening with guns.
Matt Kibbe is coming in.
We're going to talk a little bit about New Zealand and 3D gun printing when we come up in one minute.
Now, let me talk to you about Relief Factor.
Relief Factor is truly great because you can get out of pain.
I don't care what kind of pain you have, neck pain, back pain, leg pain, an injury from sports.
60% of people who have pain think they're going to have to live the rest of their life with that.
And it may be true for some, but it doesn't have to be true for you.
Get out of pain or at least dramatically reduce your pain with Relief Factor.
Try it.
I've been taking it for over a year now and it's made a huge difference in my life.
800-500-8384, 800-500-8384, or go to relieffactor.com.
10 seconds station id matt kibbe is uh joining us Matt does a podcast on the Blaze network and Blaze Media, and you need to watch it.
And he's doing something different.
He is really targeting those libertarians and especially the youth that are not into the GOP.
You know, they're not necessarily listening to Mark Levin or Glenn Beck.
They're coming at it from a different place.
And Matt has put together a great coalition, actually globally, of people who are thinking about freedom in the way a millennial does.
So it's well worth your time to check out Matt Kibbe's podcast.
Matt, we saw last night New Zealand just banned everything, went farther than anybody has ever talked about in New Zealand, and they're celebrating today.
Did they not just make this crazy shooter the king of New Zealand?
He now owns their fears, right?
Right.
And they're seizing guns that were legally purchased and owned by citizens of New Zealand, and they just did it in a panic overnight.
And you hope something like that could never happen in America.
And you get into all of these definitions.
They say they're targeting military-style assault weapons, which is not a thing.
It's not.
It's not a thing.
And so there'll be an arbitrary line where they decide, is that gun still legal?
Is that gun not?
They don't know.
All they know is that people have to turn in their guns.
You know, what's amazing to me is Hannah, my second oldest daughter, I took her shooting.
Now, she's never gone shooting, but we had a family scare that kind of put the fear of Jesus in all of us.
So we went out to the shooting range and she finally said, I'll carry a gun, Dad, and I'll learn how to shoot.
She came down.
Now, she's been with us for, I mean, forever, but she's always avoided guns.
She, you know, bought into the fear of them.
And so we're at the shooting range.
And she says, so, Dad, what's the difference between that rifle and that one?
And I said, what do you mean by that one?
She said, that one, I mean, that looks scary.
And I said, because it's painted black.
They're the same.
They're the same.
Yeah, and there is a cultural divide.
And I think it's grown starker.
And we talk about red versus blue, but there is a different culture of people who grew up with guns, are taught how to use guns, are comfortable around guns, and protect their families with guns versus people primarily that live in cities.
They're just afraid of them.
They've never touched one.
They've never seen one.
They don't know what it is.
And so when political demagogues show up and say, this is how we're going to empower terrorists to kill all of us, as Chuck Schumer just said about 3D printed guns, and you don't know any better, that's a problem.
So part of what I learned the hard way, I had a very similar experience when I worked on Capitol Hill.
I worked for a member of Congress.
He was inclined to be a liberty guy, but he had never been around guns.
And we were debating assault weapons bans.
And I used all the Second Amendment arguments.
I used the philosophical arguments, the libertarian arguments about the right to defend yourself.
Deaf ears.
He didn't understand what I was saying.
So I said, okay, let's go shoot some of these things.
And we asked the guy at the FBI range, like, so we're going to ban these ones and we're not going to ban these ones.
And he said the same thing.
That one's painted black and it looks really scary, but it's exactly like that one with the woodstock.
And after that, he's like, okay, I get it.
So you got to help people actually sort of see what it is, understand what it is, and put your hands on it.
It's an empirical thing.
It's also what we've talked about a lot.
We make, you were talking to him logically.
Right.
And conservatives try to use facts and figures and everything else and speak logic, where the left generally tells a story and speaks from emotion.
And so they're telling you this good story of this scary black gun and all the scary things that it can do.
And emotionally, that imprints on people.
And it imprints it so hard that they are, it exaggerates the fear that you should have.
I spent some time talking to my daughter about separating your fear.
There is the fear of that's a black, scary gun.
And then there's the fear of this is a deadly weapon.
And this is just as deadly as this one.
And you should have a healthy amount of fear.
If you lose your fear of what this thing can do, you should not have a gun.
Yeah.
You know, you should always have a healthy amount of fear of this is a deadly weapon.
But it's the irrational fear.
And we don't ever approach that.
But getting people into the range and having them fire, they experience something else.
Fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we, you know, we set out this video that you mentioned about 3D guns.
It's a young guy named Matt LaRouse.
He's one of the young voices.
I think you've had some of those guys on, young libertarians that are very into explaining things on camera.
And he's an interesting guy because he's actually a legal scholar at the Cato Institute.
But before that, he was a machinist.
And he's a gun enthusiast, and he's reconstructing all of these old World War I rifles that don't exist anymore.
And he's kind of a hobbyist about it.
So he understands the law.
He understands the technology of 3D printing.
And we just had him sort of show people, this is what this actually is.
So when some senator says something ridiculous about ghost guns and how we're going to be empowering terrorists by allowing 3D printers, 3D printers, where you can, you know, you can actually empower kids that need prosthetic limbs with 3D printers.
These are good things.
This is technology.
And everybody wants to control it in Washington.
And you could make the philosophical arguments.
This violates the First Amendment.
This violates the Second Amendment.
Or you could just show people the ridiculousness of the idea that you could build a ghost gun.
It's not a thing.
It's a mistake.
Why is it not a thing?
Because by ghost, they're talking about something in your mind, you're thinking, that's a totally plastic assault rifle, right?
Constitution Violations Debate00:15:17
Yeah, that won't work.
And it doesn't work.
It explodes.
And the person yourself shoots it.
He's the one that dies.
And so everybody has this vision of people sneaking these guns on airplanes or whatever.
And it's just not a thing.
I'm fascinated to see this reaction, too, on the emotion.
Because emotion can be helpful to convey a message.
You guys have talked about that a lot.
But you see in New Zealand where emotion makes a lot of bad decisions and it forces you into bad decisions.
With this ban, I mean, if you think about this, because it's being praised by the media and the left and people all over the world as, look, they know how to do it right.
They had this incident and they took action, period.
They took action based on that incident.
I mean, you could make the same argument that if there is a terrorist attack by a Muslim, that that's the great reason to go round up Muslims all across the country because we don't know.
Yes, we're going to be taking a lot of law-abiding Muslims off the streets too.
Yes, I understand that.
But look, this just happened and we have to act.
That's a terrible approach and should be recognized.
Well, that's where the Patriot Act came from.
We acted out of emotion instead of reason.
Yes.
And that's where the Constitution should kick in and say, uh-uh, we can't do that.
It was meant to slow you down or to stop you from doing things because you had an irrational amount or even a rational amount of fear that would make you sell your liberty or someone else's liberty because of your fear.
You know, Terry and I reacted out of emotion a couple years ago and finally learned how to shoot pistols.
And we bought pistols in the District of Columbia, which is not an easy thing to do.
No.
But it wasn't, I mean, I've always understood the importance of our right to bear arms, but I'm not a gun guy.
But I watched, you know, the emotional trigger for me was watching the shooting in Paris, that the Eagles of Death Metal and their audience was gunned down by terrorists.
I go to a lot of concerts and I'm like, you know what?
I live right by the Capitol.
I better do something.
I better be prepared to defend my family if I have to.
And there's almost that safety security sense.
The same reason that people react against guns, we react saying, you know what?
The police aren't going to help me.
The government's not going to help me.
They can't possibly keep us all safe.
I got to do it myself.
And it's amazing because you learn that time and time again, and yet the media never covers it when you have a disaster like Katrina, where help cannot come and it's not there.
You have 72 hours before it completely breaks down.
And what did the government do?
Went in and took guns.
And you say the media doesn't cover it, but that's why Matt Kibbe has a podcast.
That's exactly.
That's why it exists.
With fantastic guests like Glenn Beck, right?
Thomas Massey's been on already.
That is an amazing plug.
And I fully endorse everything that you just said.
Where do people go to get it?
They can get it anywhere podcast.
You can get it anywhere.
Blaze TV, YouTube, anywhere you download a podcast.
And we'll talk about guns and we'll talk about it from a perspective about safety.
And we're going to talk about all sorts of cool stuff.
Matt Kibbe, grab the Matt Pig Kibbe podcast.
Matt, thank you for stopping by.
Back in a minute.
You're listening to Glenn Beck.
This came out about five years ago, but this is the brand new one.
Goldline just released the 2019 version of the legal tender bar, which has 10 individual 1 10th ounce, 99.9% pure gold.
Their legal tender bars is what they call it.
And it's in a barter case, which is so much nicer.
This you can open.
It's made to fit in your wallet or a purse or, you know, whatever.
So whenever you're traveling, you have something in case of catastrophic breakdown.
And even if you're not traveling in catastrophic breakdown, gold is going to be worth so much money.
You will be able to use this in the right amount because it's a tenth of an ounce.
You can get them right now.
If you are somebody who wants to prepare for what is coming, gold is a great place to start.
Find out if it's right for you.
1-866-GoldLine, 1-866-Goldline.

We just talked about the crazy action that was taken in New Zealand that, of course, the press is heralding, where they're taking away guns that were legally purchased in New Zealand because of the shooting.
They have just made that shooter the king of New Zealand and made New Zealand much, much more dangerous, in my opinion.
It's a good thing we have the Second Amendment.
However, there are people that are chipping away at the Second Amendment every step of the way.
And anyone who tells you that they are not looking to take away your gun, they most likely are a liar.
And that is evidenced by New Zealand.
They never have said they wanted to take away guns.
But once there was an emergency, oh, they are going way past anything they ever said was even possible.
But now it seems reasonable because everybody is afraid.
Well, there is something that has happened in Washington State that I believe is unconstitutional, along with others.
It was voted on in November of last year, and it was initiative 1639, and it was approved by voters in Washington State.
And the deal is that you have to have more restrictive gun laws.
You can't buy a gun or a rifle if you're 21, unless you're 21.
Anybody under the age of 21 cannot purchase.
You have to have an enhanced background check, which goes into medical records now, which is also a violation.
And you have to always have that gun locked up.
And, you know, as I was taught growing up, you know, in Washington State by my uncle in Puyallop and my grandfather who had guns loaded, an unloaded gun does nothing to protect you.
The problem is the sheriffs are starting to say, we're not going to enforce this.
And the sheriffs are now in trouble with the state.
And we have Bob Songer.
He is a sheriff of Clickat County in Washington State.
Bob, welcome to the program.
Thank you, Glenn.
And, you know, you're spot on with your opening remarks here.
Bob, you're one of the sheriffs, and there's a lot of you around Washington State that are saying, I'm not going to enforce this.
What does that mean?
Well, first of all, let me say that I'm a constitutional sheriff.
The rule of law is the Constitution, U.S. and Washington State Constitution.
So based on that, I believe it violates the citizens that I serve, their Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and probably several other amendments of the Constitution.
And it's a ridiculous thing.
And be honest with you, Glenn, Bob Ferguson, our attorney general, and Governor Inslee, this is a political move on their part.
Ferguson wants to be governor, and of course, our governor has already announced he wants to be president, which would be a disaster.
But in any event, they're violating good, honest citizens' rights.
And I've been in this business 48 years in law enforcement.
And this 1639 or any of these other anti-gun laws will do nothing to make a safer community.
Nothing.
That's why crooks are crooks.
They don't pay any attention to laws.
And so what they're doing is making it more restrictive and criminalizing honest citizens for possessing certain firearms.
And it's ridiculous.
And also criminalizing those who just served in the military and were given a rifle by the military.
And they were okay for the use of a gun, but not when they come home.
They can't have a gun.
Isn't that ridiculous?
We put our young people on battlefields overseas, and they come back, some of them missing limbs, some of them shot up, and the lucky ones that come back that haven't been injured, they go down to buy a semi-automatic rifle, which, by the way, they're calling all semi-automatics assault weapons, which is just ridiculous.
It's a modern sporting rifle.
Exactly.
So they go down to buy a gun for whatever reason, because they have a constitutional right to that firearm.
And they're told, no, you can't have it, regardless whether you served our country or not.
And yet the same people who have this 21-year age limit on buying guns want to give you the power of the vote at 16, but that's a different story.
So your attorney general in the state says that you guys, by not enacting this and by not enforcing this, you are in violation, and the sheriffs work for the governor.
I'm sorry, Glenn.
I'm sorry.
You disagree with the sheriff's work for the governor.
The governor or the attorney general is not my boss.
The only boss I have under the Constitution is the people that elected me to office in our county.
That's it.
Commissioner's not my boss.
So, I mean, they would probably love to have that position where they could rein me in, but no, that's not going to happen.
And I think Ferguson and them, they're pushing this for political reasons.
And I might add, the only reason this passed in the state is because they blew a bunch of smoke at the far left in King County, Shinohomi, Tacoma, the heavy populated areas of the state, and was able to squeak it by.
Of all the voters, I think there was like a turnout of 30% of the voters in the state.
Of that, of course, I think they got close to a 60% vote on it.
But most counties on the east side of the state voted it down, the majority of them.
This is another reason in a microcosm of why we have the Electoral College for the presidency.
Western Washington is very different than eastern Washington.
Most people think, oh, it rains all the time in Washington.
Not on the east side of the mountains.
It's a desert in parts of Washington.
It's remarkably different state and different mentalities.
So what are you as a sheriff and the other sheriffs that are with you?
What are you going to do?
Because they said they are coming after you.
Well, then they need to do that.
I will not back down from Ferguson or Inslee, our governor.
They are not my boss.
I serve the citizens of my county, and I believe I am serving their constitutional rights to prevent that from being violated.
So if they want to come into our county, then they need to do that.
And I think the governor said, well, we'll have the state patrol.
No, they don't want to go down that route.
And let me say one thing to prompt.
I will not take arms against fellow law enforcement officers.
Will not.
But I also will not allow the state to come in here and start pushing us around in this county.
It's not going to happen.
The other thing, if I could, Glenn, here's what bothers me, is the health records that when they do that enhanced background check, you sign a waiver, basically, giving up your health records, which I believe is coercion.
In order for you to get the gun, you have to sign this.
In order for you to get the gun that you're entitled to, God-given right under the Second Amendment, you have to sign this waiver.
And I don't have any problem at all, and I would even support if somebody's been committed to a mental institution or under psychiatric care for violent type behavior, then yes, only that, only that would be released so that it could be checked in a background.
But they don't have any reason to have your complete health records to know what's going on there.
And unfortunately, under that 1639 Glenn, they don't even show who makes that decision.
I don't know if it's some clerk at DOL, Department of License, that makes that decision, or whether it's a board of psychiatrists.
You know, it's just vague.
And I think that violates your Fourth Amendment right when they coerce you into signing that form in order to get a gun.
Mandatory training, the same thing.
I'm a big one for training.
I'm a big one for safety.
But it should not be government mandating you have to have that before you can have your rights having a gun.
And it's just ridiculous.
One of the things I'd like to read real quick is fairly short.
The NIFT under the 1639, the initiative would make government employees. or any contractor or private agency working for the government immune from lawsuits for failing to recognize the rights of a person to legally buy or possess a firearm.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, including unlawful denial of a concealed weapons permit.
Under this initiative, under the initiative, citizens could not sue if their civil rights are violated.
Oh my gosh.
Unreal.
Unreal.
Oh my gosh.
Bob, stay strong.
Let us know how we can help the sheriffs up in Washington State.
We appreciate you standing for the Constitution, sir.
Thank you, Glenn.
I appreciate your support.
You bet.
Bye-bye.
You'd feel really confident that someone like that was actually guarding the Constitution if you lived in that county.
I will tell you, this is what we talked about.
Remember how many years ago did we say, you've got to support your local sheriffs.
Get to know your local sheriff because constitutionally, they don't report to anybody.
Sheriff Support for Constitution00:02:20
They report directly to the voter.
And they are your last line of defense for the Constitution.
So the most important vote you can cast in your lifetime when things start to get scary is your sheriff because he's the last line of defense for the Constitution.
And think about it.
Simultaneously, you have a bill that includes a piece that will not let you sue if they violate your Second Amendment rights.
Or civil rights.
Or civil rights.
Civil rights.
At the same time, they're now saying you can sue gun manufacturers if someone uses a gun in a crime.
Right.
And they can sue you, and you will be held responsible if somebody steals your gun and uses it in a crime.
You are held responsible for that crime as well.
That's in this, this new law.
Unreal.
I mean, you want to talk about oppressive.
That is the beginnings of a totalitarian state.
Can't sue if they violate my civil rights.
Holy cow.
All right.

This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
So glad that you're here.
I'm just reading this story from Time Magazine about Casio Cortez, and it looks like it's verifying a lot of the stuff that blogger Mr. Reagan put out.
Yeah, kind of came out this morning, I believe.
Yeah.
So I'm looking forward to reading it.
It's fairly long.
Casio-Cortez is very upset, by the way, today, because apparently people on Fox are calling her Cortez, which is, she says, she says, my name is, Fox News likes to say my name incorrectly as Cortez.
My last name is not Cortez, just as theirs isn't Ingra or Carl or Han.
Which I'm happy to get the clarification from the woman best known as a three-letter abbreviation.
Right.
Because it's really critical.
I mean, there is never an ending to the amount of ways she is victimized on a daily basis.
No.
Every story is about how she's a victim.
She's always, she's now victimized by people only saying part of her name.
My name's not Stu.
I've had to deal with it for a long freaking time.
Get over it.
Okay?
I have to come on national radio and television every day and be called Stu because of you and your incompetence when it comes to hearing another person.
Because of the drunkenness because of a drunk person at a party, at a club.
They were drunk.
They introduced you.
They slurred.
And it was very loud.
And I heard Stu.
And what does a normal person?
Let me ask.
This is a very shady story and a nice question.
Teresa, if somebody introduced you and They said, oh, here's my.
And you said, and then that person looked at you and said, oh, Marilyn, nice to meet you.
What would you say?
I would probably stick with that.
I go by Melissa quite a bit.
Okay.
So I understand.
Okay, she's agreeing with me.
So you would just go along with it.
Yeah.
You would.
I would, because it's awkward.
It's loud.
All right.
So how long would it take you to correct them?
You saw him every day.
I mean, you get to a point where it's just awkward, you know, so you just stick with it.
You are such a shill.
Thank you.
You're such a shill.
Thank you, Marissa.
His name is Steve.
Steve, whatever your name is.
His name is Steve.
I heard.
And I said, hey, Stu's not drunk.
Why are you not here that way?
I heard it from Vinny.
Oh, from Vinny.
That's how he said it.
And a friend of ours introduced him to me.
And I heard st, and so I called him Stu.
And for months, months, he didn't correct me.
Months.
If I corrected you every time you were wrong, we'd never get through one show.
All I'd be doing is correcting people.
I don't know why.
I don't know why I tolerated this as an intern when you're an intern, why I promoted you, why I've dragged you along this whole time.
Neither is, I haven't corrected that one either.
I will say, I think this is a large ploy because now we're out of time.
You'll not get to your story that you referred to yesterday about Betto and Betto, who said he said he put, he didn't exactly say it, but he was a story told by multiple witnesses that he put human poop from his baby into a bowl and told his wife it was avocado.
Oh, that is so disgusting.
So disgusting.
But you had a story you said was similar.
We're all out of time.
And we're all out of time.
I know, but you've been filibustering this entire time.
Well, you'll have to wait until maybe tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow to hear that fantastic story.
I do have to say also, which one is weirder?
The Betto story of the avocado poop or Hickenlooper taking his mother to Deep Throat?
