The blaze radio network on demand. Love courage, truth, Glenn Beck earlier today in Israel, sirens blared and men and women and children Their cars over on the highway, whatever they were doing and they stood with their heads, bowed as the entire nation of Israel came to stand still this every year and it is remarkable to witness today is Holocaust remembrance Day and the class. The day with the annual ceremony, the blaring of the sirens and then also until The person there is a name and for two hours, the israeli lawmakers, the name of the

million Jews murdered by the Nazis. Just a few short hours before Jews all over the world began this time of sorrowful remembrance. The prime minister of Israel received a frantic phone call from Russia. It Putin was on the other end. He was desperate to save his ally, Michael Assad is from calls him. He apparently pleaded with Netanyahu not to get involved in this growing coalition of western allies to strike. Syria hit he's a he must be desperate for Vladimir Putin to call Benjamin Netanyahu. Steve Assad Now the list of allies rumored to include the United States, France, the UK and even Germany. Netanyahu's response was simple. On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the

the Prime minister responded defiantly, he said I will never ever how the iranian military to remain in Syria. You see this is what this is really all about it. Nobody is really talking about. It Russia has been supporting a ran for a very long time. Iran now has overrun much of Iraq and is in Syria and they're trying. Into two they're. To create a crescent shape state ache. Oh my gosh, a caliphate, It's been over seventy years since the Nazis fell in Europe of their anti semitic, ideology lives on in a different, possibly even more frightening form with the iranian regime. Does anybody know what ran means in Persian? Somebody asked when did Persia go away and when become a ran,

great story well to some other time. If you've missed me telling it before, but I can you can figure it out just by realizing that the name IRAN is Persian for area. They claim such support for Hitler's ideas that they officially declared themselves. An aryan nation. Well, the clerical regime in IRAN wants Israel wiped off the face of the map and they want all of the Jews dead and that's all there after You need to understand this, and the world needs to understand this. It doesn't mean you have to agree it. Just you have to understand that this is what they're doing ever the fall of Saddam Hussein. Iran has been carving up the Middle EAST, getting close closer to their final solution. What's

more despicable is that the Obama administration practically rolled out the red carpet for them to do it. The rain in clerical regime is moving methodically towards Israel's border because they believe that Israel is gone and the Jews are dead, the Messiah will come, the world will end and their profit will tell them well done good and faithful servants. Again, you don't, to believe this, but you after have to understand the religious nutjobs, do believe this. You don't have to take my word for it. You don't even have to take Netanyahu's word, for it. There is a line in a speech given just a few days ago that no one no one has reported on it came from deputy secretary general from the iranian Republican Guard, the is the militia operate

in both Iraq and Syria. I want to quote it: listen carefully, quote. Regional developments are creating the groundwork. So the arrival of the imam of Time, if you long term listener of the program, you know that's the 12th imam Continuing my quote: we're the busy completing the encirclement of Israel. And will soon pray in the dome of the rock end quote. This is what is really happening. The imam of Time is the Marty or the 12th imam twelvers believe that his arrival will happen after the world is washed in painted in blood destroy. Israel is the tip of the spear in that plan. Have you ever

what about the iranian involvement in both Lebanon and Syria, and wondered what this was all about?. This is what Israel is facing this. What the world is now facing it kind of puts the current conflict of Syria in a completely different context. When you're dealing with this level of evil, we all bet Come together. Or we will all pay a great price so today, Holocaust remembrance day. This program joins with the Jews from all over the world and solemnly remember what happens, when mad men are allowed to run countries, we also stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel and clear with Israel. Today you have

a right to exist. News: have a right to live We declare never again not on our watch, Thursday April twelfth you're listening. The Glenn Beck program, I let me give you a couple of stories here. Just so we be sober and stop talking about Stormy Daniels. Please for the love of PETE, stop talking about Stormy Daniels. Can we look at what we're facing.

This comes from the Federalist. It's time for the United States to divorce before things get dangerous now stupid. Could you just pull up the declaration of independence? For me, real quick, I can quote cool part of it. I think we really need to listen to the declaration of independence, all of it in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with one another. The federalist quote, the declaration of independence. Divorce is hard, but it's here than cutting the brake lines on your wife's car. It's fun pastime for an applicable divorce of the United States of America, because Is no common ground left anymore? We are now the

people screaming at each other all night, every night as the kids hide in their room. We cannot come together, but we don't have to live like this. The three of the world is nations breaking up and where drawing their borders, if we want to avoid this political divide. Turning into a deadly one. We should likewise we're a nation hopelessly divided, and we are more divided now than we've ever been in our history and before you screaming me about the civil war, keep in mind that the bloody conflict was fought over one major issue. In the these days, you took ten families from New York in ten families from Alabama and put 'em all in a room, and you find that they had made mostly the same values, but you fast over today and do the same thing. These families have virtually nothing in common. We as a nation have polarized and separated from each other. Anyone

thanks this is a radical idea, has an extremely narrow view of history. I've been cleaning. This idea for a while and it appears others are catching on. Just last week, a group of lawmakers in South Carolina introduced a bill that would allow the state to secede. If the free government started, seizing guns, Now why would these lawmakers even be worried about such a thing because Kratzer saying it, and it's not some hippie chick with armpit pick vegan rally when former justice, the Supreme Court calls for repeal of the second amendment. The left should, taken seriously the GOP as many problems with the Democratic Party has turned into something completely on American, the is the party that booed the very mention of the word God at their convention in twenty. Sixteen, the parties who whose candidates openly joke about killing anyone who won't turn in their weapons, the senators joke

National TV about killing the? U S, president in the host, responds by clapping like a seal, if you believe in God and limited government here- are the entities that now proclaim their hatred of you in full view of the public, the democratic, the media, Hollywood, the public education system and now even corporate America. The he may have the house in the Senate in the presidency. But we have completely lost the culture war. It you have to be this way it's difficult, but ultimate peaceful, a peaceful path ends with everyone getting most of what they want. We divide the nation to and we can we can and will redraw the map and argue over in a million different ways for a million different reasons, but draw right. We must give you another one.

Soros and move dot org now promising a massive protests around the Country Bank of America executives. Have said that they are going to stop loaning banks to firearm manufacturers. That is something I warned you about. There's only five big banks and the fifth big bank is not Lehman Brothers Goldman Sachs. Even think of that, as a bank, that's how few big banks we have now because of the crash of eight and the clowns in Congress did you've got two the big five now saying we're not going to make loans to people who make guns. You don't need to repeal the second amendment.

We have people screaming at each other. We have People defining Haiti all day kinds of ways. There was a story that I read today about in pampers people been stuffing these little cards. It's okay to be white! Well there from of they're from an identitarian group here in America, a NEO Nazi group they're starting to pop up all over and people are outraged? Well, what about the outrage of the new mural? That is it the eight USC S the campus of the University of South of of South Caliph Southern California,. There's a mural that is just been up, but then put up that says,

dismantle the whiteness. What the hell is that even mean I'm sorry. I demand an answer: what does that mean because when I got in trouble for questioning whether the resident? Has a problem with white culture? Little miss the pants. What's your face, Katie Couric, try is to quarter me and say what do you mean by white culture trying to make that sound racist itself. Well, I don't know what is what is USC mean by dismantle whiteness. If I was racist for questioning, if the president, the problem with the White culture based on the words in his book, will then this, anybody have a problem with dismantle whiteness. Does anybody think it might be racist?

where we headed gang. Where are we headed. So there's something really important in the declaration of independence really important when, in the of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have Them one to another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station, to which the of nature and nature's God entitle them a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. So the first they say is look. If we want to separate, we have to tell you why. Why do we want to separate- and this is the part that we all know we all, truths to be self evident? We all know. But we don't know the words after those.

And anybody who is saying burn it down anybody who is saying we should split. Let's go over the declaration of independence for just a second, because you have a God given right, but you also have a God given responsibility laid out in the declaration of independence. We go there next, just a quick cup point of clarification is Katie Couric known as little miss funny pants. Is that a thing I've missed is to me? Okay, she is little. She wears funny pants.

How much of the declaration of independence do you actually know, as people now are start say hey. We should separate ourselves. We all know it starts with when, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them from one another. It basically says we have

Declare why we want to separate ourselves, and so what do they do? They don't start with the problems they start with. What they believe in we hold these truths to be self evident. All men are created equal and they're in die by their creator, with certain unalienable unchangeable rights that, among these are life liberty and property, is the original word that to secure these rights. Governments are instituted among men, wait a minute hold it that uh sure these rights, which rights that all men are created, equal endowed with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness among those rights that secure. These rights governments are instituted among men so another words government is only there to protect the rights of mankind, they right their just powers. The government from the consent

of the governed, the they don't have any power unless we give it to them, and then in any form of government becomes destructive to the ends. It is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. Now, that's the where everybody just stops. Usually. I got in the declaration independence, weird they're, going out for our rights. We have a right to abolish it or alter it. But there's comma there: it's not a period. Do you know what it says Because this is an instruction manual, the declaration of independence. This is our instruction manual. This is tells us what to do when things get really really bad. What is the ash hold? What you do? and how do you do it? I'm going to pick it up,

after the comma, when we come back, Glenn Beck, Mercury? This is the Glenn Beck program. We have not struck Syria yet, which means we're. Taking this seriously, I told you yesterday, Russia, on their evening news. They told we're on the possible eve of clear war with the United States, and here are the foods things that food storage that you need grab the things. If we alert you, don't panic just get to a fallout, shelter I mean that's how seriously they're taking it. I am happy

say it appears that the administration is taking it that seriously as well we're developing a coalition which you don't usually do just for a strike which concerns me Esther Vladimir Putin Bag, Israel not to join that coalition, but Benjamin, not Netanyahu, quoted the leader of the array guard. That is, in Syria about talking about how the 12th imam is about ready to come, because we have almost completed our encirclement of Israel and it will be destroyed soon. This what's going on this, how serious things are and in our own country we are divided by politics. I don't believe we're divided by principle now. Maybe we are I don't think anybody's. Even talking about principles, there are would want to that I'd, say: they're, anarchists, okay, great tell me

what that means. Tell me what you replace it with your please leave responsible, and quite honestly, I put you in to the category of an enemy of mankind. If you can't tell me what your going to replace it with. The declaration of independence, we hold these truths to be self evident, that's what they were saying. Look. We think this is a problem but before we tell you out all the problems of why we think we need to break away from great Britain. We to tell you what we believe in we, if these things are absolutely universally, never changing, trouves, that all men are created, equal, we're all the same and we're born the same, and God gives all of us. The same rights and government is only be there to protect those rights and it says,

never any form of government becomes destructive to these ends. It is the right of people. Alter or abolish it. Now, that's not a period. That's a comma. And everybody is taking that as a period there, not even a stating, What they believe in anymore, what are the principles that are driving you but angels that are driving me or life liberty and the pursuit of happiness? The principles that are driving me is the bill of rights, and I Dan for anyone on any side. This stand with the bill of rights, the comma says whenever the for, when any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, protecting those rights, it is the right people to alter or polish it, comma and

Institute a new government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such of a form as to them, shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness and by the way it's not your safety. It's safety of those rights. So you have a right, but you have to tell us what you're going to do that be better than this government to protect those rights. I think goes on, since you know, prudence prudence indeed will dictate the it's long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. Light and transient concept causes, I don't stormy, daniels- might be a light and transient cause.

Jeremiah Wright might be a might be a light and transient cause. Accordingly, all experience has shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer while the evils are sufferable, then right Themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, we all know the media is a problem. We all know that Facebook is a problem, but you're not going to anything you're not going to get off of Facebook you're not going to do it because it will make you uncomfortable it'll make your like you're accustomed to it. It'll be harder to come off of it. So you don't do it. And that's normal, that's natural, but. The declaration says When you get to a point of of utter absolute despotism, other absolute de

Tism wow. Are we living under absolute despotism. When you find yourself in in utter absolute despotism, it is the people's right comma, it is their duty. Why would it be their duty. To throw off such government comma wait, why is it their duty? The throw off the government because they're not talking about you? I'm not talking about the self centered little me they're talking about the right of all mankind. When will someone begin to articulate in this nation We have a responsibility not to ourselves. We have

instability, not to our. You know our, but I want that new car I'd want to hire visit, paying salary you doing all of us doing? What are we doing every day when we get up that is because we're accustomed to king that way we will live in on comfortable, not absolute but uncomfortable desk despotism. For a very long time will suffer through it because I don't want. I don't want to try it. I'm tired. I trouble that's normal, it's our right. Our duty to throw off those governments, comma

and to provide new guards for their. Future security, so before any He says to me: hey, we should break away anybody, says I'm a I'm, a socialistic anarchist. I am I Norco capitalist tell me what that means in specifics. What does that mean. You go to any college campus, and I can guarantee you these boobs have no idea and if they start quoting french philosophers, you might want to remind him about the guillotine. Revolutions start all the time, but they don't usually end with the Well, who started them the United States?

is the one shining example where it worked, because every that he can gather around on a long train of abuses. Oh my gosh, look! What they've done! Look, what they're doing we're all pistol Something and have you noticed, we're all starting to agree on what we're pissed about. We may have different names different faces. On who's, doing that fake news, Do you notice? Both sides are saying it. Both sides were all pissed off about fake news. We're all pissed off about the wars were all pissed about the spending too much too little, not enough corruption, banks we're all pissed off about it. Can you tell me what are own amiss? Can you tell me, but the principle is that's driving us

I'm tired of being pissed everyday, I'm tired of coming in every day and go on yep! Look how bad it is! Yep! Look at that! Guy! All Paul Ryan Orion he resigned. Now I could go. Do I could do a three hour monologue. Thank you Paul! Thank you. Q. You sold us down the river. You yourself became a dictator before View. The leadership you all got together. You destroyed our system and now You know that things are so bad that you're all evacuating. All of you is it thirty, two people or resigning from the GOP, the largest since nineteen thirty, one thousand, nine hundred and thirty. Why is that because they know get while the getting is good and you're leaving us with a bag. Thank you, after you've been rich yourself? Thank you know I could go on

and on and on about that. But what does it matter. What does it matter if we don't all come together and say e? Unum from many one. We are from many many celebrate versity find One thing that we stand for: what is it? Well, we don't. Yes, we do we lie about it. What we don't what? Oh, oh okay, I may quote Thomas Jefferson, because I know the Lord is just. I tremble for my country, here's what we agree on this is: what brings us together.

And we can nibble all around the sides, but it is about time that we come together. We hold these truths to be self evident that all all men are created equal. If I may quote Martin Luther King dammit, I'm it's time for you just to live up to those words. Do you know how long of a life we could have as a country for we have to go to war with each other. If we would just embrace those words,

all men are created, equal and they're in doubt by their creator with certain inalienable rights, life, liberty and property. That's what brought us together before it was the declaration of independence and it was common sense. I'm gonna try to complete my day without getting sucked into the worm. Hole of nightmares of this ha Stormy Daniels. Let us that kind mean I don't care, because that does nothing nothing to get us to and Unum that does nothing to get us to principles, because I have to tell you at one point this whole damn

I'm not for that. So, let's try to find our way to each other. Today, just have one conversation with somebody one and just be kind.

MLS consumer access, dot, org and back Mercury Glenn Beck,

one of best articles I have read for a while came from Ben Smith as a self reflection of a of a of a writer and a journalist who says man I ate. Something is haunted me for a very long time and it's just raw. He is really really good and it's about learning how to be a good journalist and learning what the world is really like, and and and taking your your go. I off you know your rose, colored glasses off and go on. I'm gonna change the world and realize wait a minute. Wait a minute wait a minute. I just have to tell the truth. I just have to tell the truth. Ben Smith is going to be joining us here in just a second also. Some big news from Bank of America

they are going to stop making loans. One hundred percent full stop is the quote: making owns to gun manufacturers. That's two banks out of the big five now Glenn Back Mercury. Love courage, true Glenn, back for the last few years, I have really have not changed core. I know what I believe. I know these truths I find self evident. However, there's you know what made me popular was that I was certain a certain and you have to do this job. You have to be pretty certain about a lot of things, but I was certain In the last few years I have long What made me popular certainty- and I am

I have gained. What has zero value today, except to me, humility,. He lack of certitude? That's good thing, I think make very difficult to compete in today's world, but I Oh, what my core is but boy, What we're doing isn't working. I have been looking for anybody who is at a moment of self reflection, and I read. One of the best store is on self reflection. I have n bit possibly may be the only one that I've read from journalists, but it is a great. And it's written by Ben Smith, he's the editor in chief of Buzzfeed, and it is,

This is what it was like learning to report before fake news was the biggest problem in the world and it is peace on wow. Maybe I should have been less certain Ben Smith joins us now, hi Ben. How are you Thanks for having me on one. This is. This is a great a great article that I just haven't. Seen I haven't seen from anybody else, and I appreciate it, and I wanted to a start with saying well. Thank you. I guess I must be the only person in this business over to get anything wrong, all right, so Stella tickets through the story, tell the story: sure yeah. When I guess my first gig, like a like a lot of young reporters I was young and other attached. I uh. They always want to be a kind of wanted, there's a romance and being a foreign correspondent, and I got a job. I could, which was this particularly obscured bit of North Europe, covering working with strings to freelancing for the Wall Street Journal and covering places like

Then, with you any unpredictably Belarus, which is this medium sized can I store run and the country that never really left communism. It's the one place where they really kind of kept the system intact, and where in this was there, but two thousand and one uhm, but in fact the election was the day before nine hundred and eleven September, two days before it was September. Ninth, two thousand and one that felt like it was this store, call anomaly. Everything was going one direction. Russia was going to become this free market, democracy and Belarus is this weird exception, and so all the western reporters went there to report on how what a weird exception it was, and it was all the stuff there that made no sense there is this giant tractor factory producing within You know many thousands of tractors and if you go around the country to be tractors, plowing the streets at the tractor sitting on used on farms, because nobody can afford diesel. So I wrote this,

which I will start making fun of cabinets mass production. I and I had it's been the biggest story I got. Was this young young activists activist who told me that it for this new kind of revolutionary group that was trying to you know bring democracy the country told me that the way they funded their group that every month he would go to Poland and pick up a call cash from the Americans and bring it back to pay the bills? And this was a great scoop. You know this is big news that american foreign policy, and so I published it and then the next time I was in the country, the deputy chief of mission of the sort of two diplomat confronted me and told me: I had gotten this kid beating. Up and thrown in jail with my carelessness and reporting. What he told Maine This is something that bothered you for a very long time yeah. It's fixing to your whole career. You know you just think about it. I think you know journalism it's hard to predict

going happen. It's too after you reveal a piece of information, and I think you know should you think about it? Should you not worry about it? She just focused on essentially telling the truth to the people in your audience at the expense of sources in their hard questions, but I definitely thought about it and Google, the guy from time to time, if they end Alexia, should log ski and then at some point- and I don't even know if it's translated right- ran across a interview with him where he said been to been to jail for his beliefs, which seemed weird to me, and so I don't how to do it and sat on it for awhile and finally found him on Facebook. Where he lived in Prague and he managed manages a hotel, and I call them out on Facebook, and he said yeah that that never happened, and I don't know what you're talking about, but I didn't go to jail. The store was fine, which was really you know totally shocking at spent years making. This is this horrible thing that, it. It goes further than just that and

you, you tell this story, I know you're. We pressed for time so you're your your russian the story, but the? U. Please read this story, it is so well written and you can feel I mean I love the line in my face red and even more, you know, as these things are being brought up to you over the years you're just it's grinding you, But you know I've got everything wrong. The other detail, this tractor factory, that I thought was such a joke. It was revealed in the in the run up to the Iraq war that the reason that it was so large and so hard to figure out and kind of weirdly secretive is that they were making missile launchers and we're exporting weapons all over the world. So my I had totally misread the situation. You know because you're asked to do and your app that you want to tell your readers what they want to hear sometimes- and I do that- journal. Readers would get a kick out of a story about how you know play. Communist students feel like happiness things when, in fact, what this was was you know,

higher than anti american arms dealing network, Senate. You you quoted JANET Malcolm, and you said the core of journalism is betrayal. What does that mean? Well, she you know, there's this famous, but little book called the journalist and the murderer. Man. I think you know and if a complicated business and the goal of getting people, the truth does not always involve I mean you know involves get people tell you things against their interest to tell you. This is legendary for great novel, called fatal vision if you like true crime, fantastic novel by Joe Mcginnis- and he really go to this man who is accused of murdering his family told him that he was in sympathy with him that he believed he was innocent, that he wanted to help with the defense insinuated himself into the defense team and then wrote a book about how guilty he was. And I believe that sued him, but it was you know this is very messy

thing where he had really totally betrayed this guy really tricked him into getting his confidence and betrayed him and what have very extreme case but I think what JANET Malcolm argues in this very small book about how, but through the ethical city of journalism. Is that at some level? That's what and also doing all the time. Mister is betraying people, I couldn't do it in order of an automated tell the truth to their audience and you are even betrayed as you found out that way you when you met up with him the guy you thought gone to jail and was beaten up. You didn't know what to do with it for awhile and it just kind of If you and you decided I've got to find the guy who told that to me yeah I called, and I left messages I talked to his wife. I could never track him down. I finally got ahold hold of his boss, who said

God he was always doing stuff like that. That's why he didn't work for me log I mean after all these years. I wish I'd known. So you think God, through years of that you know trust in government, but when the ago people government sources official sources, diplomats tell you something, you know your instincts about. A half skeptical you are mine is a an american journalist was to trust them, and that was the wrong answer end. If I, if I have the story right, you have kind of come to the place that you have to question, not just the government, but you have to question everything that you think you know. If you're it sounds to me like you're in the same place that that I'm at well, I have to be less certain because I don't know what I know anymore.

Feel the luxury of my business of news reporting even more. I think than yours is that we don't we don't have to know things. We don't have to be sure. We can tell the readers what we found and let people make up their own minds, and I think it's you know it takes tremendous, I plan to do that and it's hard not to inject yourself. But I think that is all that's, ultimately what we tried to, but isn't that what in some ways you regard that's what I should be doing as well, where I do have to inject myself, but I don't I don't have to you know, we all have to remember. You know, we have we listened to everyone or are we absolutely sure this is? This is right? This is, opinion doesn't necessarily make it. The the opinion worth considering. Yeah- I mean you know it depends- is the sky. You can say the sky is blue and be pretty sure about it, but I think, but Also realize people lie to you, realize I'm

Mary and realize that your big assumptions about where thing, how long those can be, I mean that to me was the big thing is here. We were all there laughing at this Ludacris better, who is obviously a relic of history, and you know, twenty years later he still running the country and what is the state of journalism now the big question I mean that I think play that it is better than you might hear from our our president, and it is not a great reporting being done. I think you know, there's a there's been. A long campaign to discredit both specific journalists and whole topic. Journalism that people don't like. You know For their own reasons that that's really left a mark, I think that's happened on both sides, so, but I, but I think, would be silly. People will say that they don't trust the media, but then, if you ask do you trust your local newspaper? Do you trust the guy who writes about the Cleveland Indians,

the LAN dealer. Do you know people mostly do, and so I think but but I think it's that I think it Tough, I think, like our job is very much to try to win people's trust back some degree, and I think that is in part by being transparent about what we don't know the the testimony this week with Facebook and Zuckerberg? we are all now I mean when I first got into radio. This is forty years ago, I had to build an audience now. My audience has an audience every. He an audience it. You know you can accuse me of saying and doing things for Xr ratings or whatever, but a lot of people are now doing that, just walking the streets and and and and they they don't realize that they're doing that

Where do you stand on on? What's happened this week with with Facebook? What should be done? If anything I mean, I think it's really complicated. I mean I think that has this system is built. This says you know this, two billion people on it- and you know, there's no way but the people running Facebook incorporated can really control something like that. I mean I think people see them as like the government's facebook, but maybe there a little more like the United Nations of Facebook and just terms of the scale of it, and I think you know when, when something really horrific happens in the United States of America, if somebody gets shot, Facebook live. It's a lot of media attention they deal with it. They promise to take it seriously outside the United States. Which is you and I and Mark Zuckerberg Downstate, speak in every they all sorts of crazy. Things are happening that the company is almost no way of telling what's going on

I think that you know it's very unclear what what regulation would mean in american context. Europeans are starting to really Those new rules around Here- ability to own your own data. Your ability to force place like Facebook to explain what they're doing that I think may have vacations here too, but I in a way everybody's waking up to these compromises. We've made around our privacy and kind of reckoning with them right now trying to bend smiths of Buzzfeed Ben one thing from this to get back to it for a second that you wrote and we're going to tweet that at club back make sure people can read. It is I that is really interesting as it relates sort of to our world as well, in the talk radio realm in that felt, the desire as a young reporter to essentially please your editor, rightly to please the paper give them and what the audience what they wanted and it

hey! Is that some that easy common in your business? I know it's common in talk, radio. I know it is, if you find that too, because I mean in the business and also how do you push back against it's going to be a very natural instinct, essentially searching for acceptance from your employer yeah. I think you know there is a it is. Your employer is also your audience right and deal, and you want to please your dance for you also. I think, hopefully respect your audience enough to know that sometimes people actually want to be challenged and will trust you more if you do not always tell them what they want to hear. I do think you know, she before the internet, but you didn't really know what we expect if you're a newspaper report, I think in some ways intermediate nodes know what your audience was thinking, and so you did that's right for your editor for publication. I mean the big change to me. Was that over that you know that that what Kim when I got online. You know that the the editor I cared about his opinion I cared about was Matt Drudge,

or Josh Marshall or Anderson, all of that or some big bloggers who could link me, and I think you saw, I think more than people realize a lot of journalists were writing for them. We're waiting for these kind of mega internet assignment editor. You can drive a lot of traffic and then that became a list by social media, and by can I get so and so to tweet it can. I get get me a lot of retweets. A lot of Facebook shares not can lead you I mean completed the extreme, the the shrill saying the same at most is most to readers. Prejudice is often the thing that gets most widely shared Ben Smith, editor in chief of Buzzfeed com. Thank you so much Ben and really enjoyed your article. Thank you for writing it. Thank you much. It's a really I mean this is a nuanced conversation, because there are things that are true and always true, but there

all kinds of things around the edges that we argue about that. You know. Maybe we should start listening each other a little bit more and understanding what people are going through, and I say this to you. I don't know if I've always listened to you like I should have. I have. I have judged people harsh. And without understanding in or out without listening and that's not healthy for anybody anyway. Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour at zip recruiter.

Glenn Beck Mercury land that I think the band with articles really important articles specially for young journalists, because he talks about don't write the things that you think the audience wants. Right the things that you think your editor wants, don't broke right. The things are going to you, get you the lead story. Don't don't trust anything that you think you know. And I that is to me a really good thing coming from a guy that a lot of young reporters look up to and are probably trying to. Please right now, really sage advice, I want to talk to you a little bit about Bank of America for a second. It was Citigroup that

I'm out about four five weeks ago and said that we're gonna stop doing transactions with people that are selling a firearm, two people, twenty one uh that are high city magazines, we're not going to. We won't provide any banking services, so no credit cards, no ranking, no loans, nothing, and I will you at the time. This is disturbing, because there really only five banks in America of any real size and they are bank of a aka city, a group Jp Morgan, chase Wells, Fargo and uh, and not leave my brothers. Why do you keep saying Lehman Brothers Goldman Sachs? Those of the banks, now Citigroup came out a few weeks ago and said not going do

banking services to anybody that does those things. Okay, Bank of America has just come out and said the in thing. In fact, need to hear the vice chairperson at the Bank of America yesterday making this announcement. This is remarkable this is now the second bank and they're saying they will not make any loans to firearm manufacturers. You don't you're not going to have to you're, not going to to repeal the second amendment you'll just make impossible through banking to be able to run a business either making the guns or selling the guns. This is a constitutionally protected, firearm and the Bay sir. Deciding now really care we're not

going to provide any kind of financial services to out of the big five back in a minute Glenn Beck Mercury. This is the Glenn Beck program after two thousand and eight everybody knew we should break these big banks up into smaller banks, but what the federal government did was make the bigger bank, the biggest banks, even bigger, so we basically I have about five NASH. Thanks. We have five giant banks, we have city, grew Bankofamerica, Jp Morgan, Chase Wells, Fargo in Goldman Sachs and if who's, five banks decide that they're going to do or not do something. It changes our world. Well, then, I'm sure there's, no one behind this. Citigroup came out a couple of weeks ago and said, they're not going to provide loans or any financial services as city

They will not provide any financial services at all to any store or group that sells high capacity magazines, or cells to any gun on to anyone under twenty one. There were a couple of other things now you at the time. This is the way to get rid of the second amendment without ever having to pass a single law, you get five big banks to go along. Well strike one with Citigroup strike: two yesterday Bank of America, so now out of five bank of here is the bank of executive yesterday, listen

what Bank of America stands on lending to gun companies that manufacture certain weapons. Well, let's just start with. We want to contribute in any way we can to reduce these mass shootings. I mean that's such a tragedy in the United States, so that's number one. We do have a few manufacturers of military style firearms were in discussions with them. We have let them know that we are going to it's, not our intent to underwrite or finance military style firearms on a go forward basis. So does that mean that you are going to get out of lending to companies that manufacture military style weapons used for civilians? Yes, full! Stop one hundred percent full top one hundred percent. What is military style weapon. Can anybody tell me, because I know Afghanistan that could be considered a rock? What is

military style weapon? One that looks fancy one that is, you know, has black or camouflage or green long and pointy one that has a high capacity magazine. What does a high capacity magazine mean more? You need. How do we define that this? This is happening now at the banking level. If the this- and this is why crypto currency is so vital, because if the five banks decide they want to do whatever they want with the second amendment I'm going to be able to you won't have company making firearms is they won't be able to get bank loans? Re business needs a revolving loan. The time that did to buy the stuff make this stuff sell the stuff get the money back. They have to pay their employees, so they need a revolving alone. Thirty,

one ninety days to pay their bills while that that supply that they just made cells. How? going to keep your doors open. If you don't have a revolving loan. Imagine if If Bank of America came out and said today, we first, we are not going to be financing any of is news sites that deal in in Hades, each or or you know, violent speech you could say. Well, that's really good. Someone smart in the room would say: wait a minute wait a minute. How are you, how are you defining that? Let me give you an example: coming up in just a few minutes, Trump's biggest supporters. These are the self proclaimed biggest supporters of Donald Trump Diamond and silk going to be on the Gram for the first time diamond and silk, they are. They have, I think, they're hysterical. They are one hundred percent in for Donald Trump.

But I've never heard anything dangerous from them. I've heard things I disagree with, but I've never heard anything dangerous. I enjoy I like them. I disagree with them. Facebook has decided to censor them through the algorithm Well, wait a minute wait a minute I just testimony he said: did they were only going to censor people that were dangerous. Or engaged in hate speech or terrorism. I have heard that from diamond and silk. Have you. The devil is always in the details and the banks now Aren't really revealing the details. They're, just letting you know, let me tell you something if Erica doesn't pull its money from Citigroup and Bank of America and put it the chase or wells, Fargo and Wells, Fargo or Chase. Why they're doing it? We

to lose this battle because I have to it was nuts when I said this before any bank did it it. That's when I said one, it's probably still nuts, now that I've said there's two. Guys there's only five there's only five big banks. You're going to pull your money 'cause when you get down to Goldman Sachs, you can't pull your money from that. I don't know anybody. I don't know where I find a Goldman Sachs branch. You got Jpmorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. They start Down the same path of Bank of America and Citigroup, and they it's saying no financial services for these people. Your lose the second amendment and you lose it with. A single vote in Congress or by you

So we've got a couple of stories that I just really want to get to. One is in Houston that we've been talking about for the last couple of days. We just not had a chance to get to it and the other is a remarkable story. That's too promises! I haven't read it yet because he's excited about it. It's it's about a mother of five wonderful family story, yeah, okay, all right, wonderful, family story, about of a mom. Her name is Jordan Smith, Jordan, Smith, yeah, she is. She is a single mom she's, a single button, mother or five. I don't no problem! All I didn't! Okay! Now it never read another story, maybe she's the variety of jobs to pay for for her role as a single parent has its challenges as we now she has served as a cocktail waitressing and an exotic dancer. Okay and the right now, there's a lot of shapes. I actually just want teenage daughter looks like she's a teenage daughter. Yes, ok,

she has decided to give in. You could certainly for government help. You can go that direction or you can go different direction. The direction of this wonderful mothers or has is probably a wrong direction. Yeah are you for big is that what you're saying well, I now sign up for a new website and this website it's called. What's your price, she's being paid to go on dates, an maintain platonic relationships with men, so this is. This is totally also I mean we just go out and hang out with somebody. It seems fine sure that doesn't sound like a good, solid business model, though I mean you mean well, I could make friends with. You know, women and, first of all, we know. That's not true with you, you could well. I can't make friends

anybody know bugs you know you can either that's not a hard. I mean. Why would you pay for that? Well, the men will either send her. This is our clothes mentally alert reader sent me an offer or I can counter offer and I'll send them an offer like a hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars a seat. Now this- and this seems like prostitution- I don't as I don't think you missed the word platonic yeah Because that's what that? That's? What the word is: yeah article right! Okay, I don't know if she defines platonic like I would fight platonic here the men, it's possible that people have different views of this type of jury and we're open minded right now. She says she can counter or she can. They can accept the offer Ebay type service, it's just like bidding thing, but I don't do less than one hundred dollars now part all of this is an issue in that when you're announcing to the national media?

the lowest price. You will accept in a negotiation. Then it go, Asian isn't necessarily going to go well because everyone is going to know you'll do this for one hundred dollars. So why would never accept a two hundred dollars bid on your dot com, question number one. I have Now the arrangement is fairly similar according to Yahoo NEWS to seeking arrangement. This is another set, I'm sure you're familiar with seeking arrangements. This is the flower a little different. Ok different flower site. Ok connects women with sugar. Daddies Ford had horror even compare to being a prostitute. No, that not some p. You, you somehow pulled very early in this yeah well, but that's not that's not I'm pretty much in Oracle when it comes to things like this. Now It's mom insists that the process is different because of the lack of pressure

and legality did sign up for the sugar daddy website and that's what they will do after we do have to acknowledge right. She did sign. She left that life of sin. She said it was just garbage. It was garbage this garbage right, she put it, put a bad taste in her mouth. So I think she didn't have really high expectations for what's your price right, she was nervous because she didn't want the men to expect anything sure, but she just saw that problem. She took a an important step. He pointed out in her profile that it be no strings attached. Now I don't think this is going to end well, I mean if she is sincere in that and I have a feeling we're going to find her body in a dumpster at some point. No ok, it's certainly

possible, maybe behind the bar we might find her body in a dumpster. It's not going to workout. Well, if you were going to a site haha in which dates were offered for cash and in the profile of the purse, it said no strings attached. I think what you would think on that is it's a new sex without any connections afterwards right like no strings, which means the exact opposite of what she wants it to me. Who designed you problem right, if you sure, if what you want sure is someone who just is going to have sex and then there's nothing afterwards, you'd say no look. Let's hook up no strings attached. Look at it another way, maybe she's, saying I'm not a puppet of anybody and you anti me up that up what she's saying right. However, she seems to not understand what the phrase means this these words may not think. Would you think they did it right, so

just keep using that phrase. What do you think it means? So she is now is saying that that's because she just doesn't want the people to expect anything. No strings attached means the opposite to that, but you could get lucky you could what she's done according to Yahoo start what she's gotten out of the men she's gone on dates with this letter. Three thousand dollars hello. This is like a there's, a good just have a sidebar bar here and rollers. Please do it could hear you that sends again. This is from Google NEWS on Yahoo NEWS: Yahoo NEWS: okay, what she's gotten out of the men she's going on dates with these three, nearly three thousand dollars. Now I mean I don't.

I mean I hate to be a, I mean, I'm not the queen and I don't think the queen's English, but I don't recognize that even his English does gotten into a news story. No, I don't think it should be ill gotten goods. If, okay in that, if it's in a quotation marks, maybe I'll give it all right, but that amount is only increasing with a single, more steady, companion, she's connected with after a few dates with men in particular, this mom says she's, taken on a more he's taken on a more substantial role in her life buying her a truck giving her money to buying. Teenage daughter Christmas gifts, oh the thirty six year old companion, has given her seventy six hundred dollars. So far Although their relationship is current, leave non sexual. The divorce dad of grown children has been introduced to Smith's friend in her family he's definitely unique. She says,

he's always wanting to help out and wanting to help me succeed, because I'm a single mom he's taken me and girlfriends out, my daughters met him a few times he's We going to buy her a car. Oh you, gotta get. She sounds like a winner. Get your daughter, in with him right away, because nothing could possibly go wrong. They're being no trouble you be gotten into by the way, do a wrap up the story in the meantime, she continues to date, are in the round the site and have some extra earnings, while also doing so part time. Modeling on the side. Obvious in this story ends with part time foot modeling I don't believe that story. I believe that is fake news. There's no there's no way. Somebody actually wrote that story at its true. That's craziness come to yet another day in America all

New school safety plan at a school district near Erie Pennsylvania, the schools across the country are taking a hard look at their readiness for attack, and this district is arming their teachers with the with a weapon. In the event they ever have to fight they're going to they well! You know those little souvenir baseball bats that you know. You know you get sometimes in stadiums. You know one about twelve or so inches. And yes, it's pretty much, though. They've. Given the teachers, these little teeny souvenir baseball bats, and you know so the teachers You are going to have this glorified drumstick in the event of a Hobbit attack or a squirrel invasion. These bats are going to come in really handy handy. I mean if a if, Twelve inch, Nolan Ryan comes in and just starts pitch in baseball's those teachers are going to be ready and I think that's. I thank you and congratulations. The disk

superintendent says teachers aren't expected to confront the attacker with these chopsticks on steroids. You know which, which is good because you'd probably be killed, the superintendent said quote, the bats, are more symbolic than anything else. That's why I called the White House- and I said President trump- you know what forget about sending crews. Tools over to Syria. Let's do something symbolic, let's just light off an incredible fireworks, show and it'll be symbolic of US bombing. The chemical weapons animal! What do you think? I think it would work? Symbolism usually works. Really Well, a it's people who are nuts now he get. I guess

it could have gone with a regular size, baseball, bat or maybe even a you know, an aluminum bat. You know that would be. It gives you a fighting chance, the districts five one teachers each receive their sixteen inch, souvenir bat which I'm sure they all went. Okay, now I'm safe! It's it's one thing to joke about: arming teachers It's another thing to to arm them with souvenir bats and think that that is a good idea, because that's not a that's a joke that will get you killed. You know what I'm saying the reality is the organizations that train teachers know how to survive attacks and they recommend trying to throw books. Shares and any items and by the you know up in if you have handy at the attacker, so give everybody a baseball bat. What do you think.

Another reality is the typical classrooms only have one door, so students and teachers can easily be trapped during an attack. Even the miniature backed even a miniature back may not get them to safety, but it may be better than nothing. Okay, all right! So there's two parts of the story: it least somebody's doing something right. So it's nice to hear a school district and the emphasizing the potential of fighting back against an attacker rather than relying on just hiding in a lock down. You know: Will baseball bat is probably not the best idea, but according to a local survey, the district's residents are. Overwhelmingly in favor of giving guns to at least some teachers and staff. The problem is state of Pennsylvania. Has it made that legal yet and the teachers union? They don't think here, have another bat.

So until that happens, if you have kids in school in Pennsylvania, you better pray that a Hobbit sized Nolan Ryan does walk through your child's door, Thursday April twelfth you're. Listening to the Glenn Beck program. This week there, it's been a lot of talk about Facebook and a lot of questions about Facebook and the way they run their algorithms and The hurting conservatives, the answer is yes, but here's just a few of the questions in May of twenty sixteen Gizmodo reported that face Look at purposely and routinely suppressed conservative stories from trending news, including stories about CPAC, including stories about Mitt Romney, including stories about

the Lois Lerner IRS scandal, including stories about Glenn Beck. In addition to that, Facebook has initially shut down the chick fil a appreciation day. Page has blocked opposed post of Fox NEWS. Reporter has blocked over two dozen catholic pages and most recently blocked Trump supporters and silks page with one point: two million Facebook followers after determining their content and brand, were quote unsafe to the community. Well, they are so dangerous because I I I I think they're hysterical myself. I'm then I don't always agree with them, but I'm a fan- and I just wish they just weren't so interests, building bombs or whatever it is they're doing that only Facebook knows about diamond and silk. Welcome to the program. How are you

the for having us here? Welcome, so what Well, let me start with just the human thing what was it like to watch a congressi? hearing and hear your name mentioned over and over and over again Well, you know what I was smiling from ear to ear. We were smiling from ear to ear because it's like ok, so you have representatives up there. Despite for the small voices in my car, so I will we appreciated it because we thought that you know we was happy that they were bringing it to light, because sort of thing has been going on for quite some time. Now. That's right I know because I watch you know obviously internet traffic for because of what I do, and I know that conservative voices are being squashed. They can take or site you have one point: two million followers they. These are people who say I want to hear wanted. In my feed I want to

diamond and silk when they post something right and they have. The algorithm. Can you tell me in and explain to the audience what is happened to you guys? Okay, so what happened? September of two thousand and seventeen we notice there was like a pause on our page where information and content would come up for about eight hours we reached out to Facebook. Without that particular issue, and then output We noticed a significant drop in our reach. So. We started getting are followers and stating that they was not receiving them. Okay, we're not showing up in their news feed Facebook is making them act. Answer questions they can't like and follow up page somebody had a light them in on all of them, and it wasn't them just all kind of kooky things. We've been back and forth with Facebook for about what almost seven months now and then finally, they made the decision on April the that we are brand and content with being

safe to their immunity. And so when you look at our branding content, our brand is a square diamond and silk. Two black chicks down with politics love our country has very patriotic, about president and his agenda. So what are you saying so we was taken aback by it was offended by it appalling we just it was just appalling what was written to us, and so we said you, but they told me to peel it so because they told me to peel it still put it. They also should social media, and then it just takes a moment from there. Silk? I am never. Never ever want to do a tour or even this radio show. I would like to see if I could hire you away from diamond, because I I gets to do what you do. I can't gets to do me love it. Thank you for loving it. Thank you so much sweetie.

So tell me when you heard Mark Zuckerberg was say that you know no. This is this is not happening. What you think Look me up the said that he don't know his business. He don't know business model and how these algorithms work. These algorithms are put in place is suppressed. Conservative voices and I think that what he's trying to do is turn Facebook into a political playground. Can do whatever they want to do. While we suppress conservative voices and uh, they want to say: oh, it's a private entity, but it's open to the public and when you're open to the public, you cannot discriminate. You can't say one voice is better than the other, because there's nothing in your fine print. That says this platform is for liberals and we're only going to hear liberal point of view and not

for if you that's right and not only that just you know, mess with us monetarily. You know. We understand that Mostar number he's like the american dream, he's up paint american dream. Well done! so we started from nothing and we want to also obtained american dream, but the house, the one pull the rug from underneath your feet and then take that seat and put it on your neck and suppress you. You can't make any money, you you you, you can't bill. Your brand now operate is labeled. Our brand is now been harnessed as unsafe, to the community like we would still type of terrorist or something what what does that mean? Unsaved it did you when you. When you were labeled that you called you had to have called Facebook. Well, we did car because they told us it was not available. We can appeal it. So that's why we took it

Social media is, I said it was not appealable 'cause. We want to know. The question was unsafe, with two black women supporting our president with unsafe about that we had specific questions for for them to answer, because we wanted to know you know we sent back and forth if they would have wrote it couldn't have been appealed and maybe we would have went kept going back and forth between, back and forth with these people for almost six months or six months. I got it. I got it six months, five days, twenty nine hours, forty minutes and forty three seconds so So, where do you go from here? Well, you know, Ok, as we start to work, they reached out to look through twitter. This morning we woke up and got to our destination is garlic and what did they say? What is this? What say? Oh god, I gotta get it now. You know you put me on blast. Can you paraphrase it

what is basically that they've been trying to reach out to us, but they want to talk to us. So I'm glad that they that we see now, where they've reached out to us and and then we're going to take it from there We keep everybody updated impulse that I really want to talk to mark that the park. What is it we want to sit down face to face and talk to him, because I really want him to understand that. It's not just one point of view. It says you got of view of using I think it's not just all pages and other conservative paid that's right, that's enough significant drop in their reach and that's not fair. If you build your platform, one person at a time. Thank those people deserve to see your content for internet.

That's right, so we want to talk to him first of all face to face that's right and then you know, and then he's gonna have to rectify.

He's going to have to make this right and we're going to have to come to the table. So here? No! Ok, this is what you need to do. 'cause you gotta make this here right. I have a feeling He would rather go another round with Congress. The net to we were very nice, very nice, humble meek, being I do not like to be branded, don't forget me, you know I don't wanna make anybody feel uncomfortable often times people of color always get stigmatized. Stuff to do this. Don't do that. But how is it that when you start pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, you have someone to come along and take those drugs and think they can use them to? Hang you out to dry? No, no, no! No! No! If he can obtain the America

So usually I get back on the air, but this time we're lucky thirty. To go today even worse, an all time classic in music featuring the single fat, the parody of Michael Jackson's, bad, came out thirty years ago today, thirty, we say that again. Thirty years ago I she likes the other night that

What fifteen years fifteen years in reverse, doesn't even get me to nine hundred and eleven green, wait, a minute hold! It hold slow things down just a bit closer to seventy. Then you are nine hundred and eleven yeah that craziness? That's craziness hi Manda it. It goes fast, fast,

it myself I might as well do something of value. I guess is you know when you get to the point to where you're like yeah, I'm not going to argue about that. Now, don't care! No! I'm not going to waste. My time on that one nope I mean I've found myself settling and I think maybe. That's either just the extreme apathy and laziness or wisdom, I'm not which it is sometimes of the same thing could be. There is in the I think, it's a wisdom, I'm hoping that it's a wisdom, but I'm getting to this place, where it's like yeah. I remember that all the sleepless nights worrying about that one. Not really going to be fine, but I mean listen to our one of this program today, YO yeah, no, no, there's things that are worth freaking out about it, just not the stuff that I used to freak out about, but I think that's what's important is that you know You only have a limited amount of time you might as well spend it. You know

chasing things that are important. You ready for this one. You know me, I'm a collect. No, I'm not a collector, I'm a hoarder. If I weren't! No, no, if I were poor I'd, be a hoe because I have some wealth, I'm an eccentric, collector yeah right. No, I have stacks and stacks and stacks of old newspapers. I am hoarder okay and we've gotten to this place walking around my house with my wife the other day and I'm like what the hell do. We have all this stuff which she's, like I don't know you keep collecting or hoarding it and can, I know, but everything in my house has a story. Everything is like you know, like the wrapped everything as a I just I am like what we doing what we doing. What are we doing for what I just got a If at all- and I said I just I'm just I mean this weird place to where I some I'm turning into into a millennial.

Does millennials are kind of like And I don't want all that stuff I'd. Rather, instead of having outside, rather go travel under the gusta. Me too me too, hashtag me too oh my gosh you're in it. Oh my gosh, I'm a hashtag need to pursue it. You know I don't know how much. I believe that I think every generation comes up with this idea that they don't want the stuff and then they find out. They really do want the stuff article today about Instagram in that Instagram now making millennials by houses. Why they're starting to see pictures on Instagram of their friends buying houses, so all the sudden they're getting much more interested in houses. It's a it's a trap. It's been a long time coming for you with these thoughts have been coming along time with yeah yeah, all right back, more useful information. When we come back Glenn

mercury? you're listening to the Glenn Beck program, I to go! Listen to the podcast, you missed our number one. Today. It's really really critical that you listen to our number one. It's you know. It involves succession, the declaration of independence and the 12th imam Mahdi, and the reason why I bring this up is, if you've been listening for awhile and you you are aware of what the 12th imam is and what the Iranians believe that is, we would describe as Christians. We would describe him as the Anti Christ. It is their end time S. College G is the exact opposite of hours. They are bad. Guys are good guy in are good, guys or bad guy

it's remarkable and you don't have to believe any of it. You just have to know they do Booton, just called Benjamin Netanyahu and said: please don't join this coalition against Syria Benjamin Netanyahu said sorry, I can't you for letting a ran into the Middle EAST, and you don't have take his word I want to quote: I want to quote the Sir Terry Deputy Secretary General from the Iranian Republic Guard he's talking. Now they're, both their operating in both Iraq and Syria, and he's talking about where they're at right now quote General developments are creating the groundwork for the arrival of the imam of time they are. Currently we are current busy, completing the encirclement of Israel and sue. We will pray in the dome of the rock and quote the

Tom of Time is the Mahdi or the 12th imam. If you don't know what that is, look for old shows of mine on that for in Youtube and join me tonight at five hundred and thirty after the regular show for the news and why it matters. That's my lead story today, welcome to Pat Gray glad to be here. Thank you will be seeing you on the news and why it matters at five hundred and thirty on the blaze today. I believe you will help us if you look, I like to I like to in in and watch you on the place but you're also just to my left, which is just like you are right now, yeah right makes it very easy to watch you. I am not left ideologically. However, can I ask you guys something? Yes, you know, we've been talking a lot about Facebook, listening to you and watching you such receptor every day when we get together, I have a faith. I just have this weird feeling that people are list listening.

Watching watching what your evidence can't come up with. Some edits are aired. Finally, I'm just telling you I feel it annoyed Rockwell saw well, you can great References will you will you take us to Katy Texas, I will because it's of fun little trip very surprising little get together of. School board, meeting of that we've been following this for a week or two now and we were ab absolutely done to Katie was having a school board meeting and one of the citizens in the district got up and spoke. They were talking about bullying and here's what happened? My name is gray. Barett graduated from Ksd in nineteen eighty three, I started in nineteen. Seventy five with Mister Lance, My legal name is Greg gay. I was bullied unbelievably bullied,

I started out and I had teachers that believe me. I had kids that believe me even the coaches. I had no to turn to one day at lunch. I had my sweat, head shoved in the journal where it busted my lip. I had laid on the ground in a fetal position. As the kids kicked me, I got up a rinsed my face off. I walked out of the lunch room, walk straight to the principal's office and he told me these kids will grow up someday. They won't always be. Like this, but yet here I am covered in urine from lane on the ground underneath the Yarnall, my lip was busted and they sent me home while I went home and I got the forty five

out of my father's drawer and put it in my mouth because at this point I had nobody Nobody in the school system to help me is is, is that the way this is going to be Lance, you the one that shoved my head in the urinal. Now that is the school superintendent yeah so, Imagine now you're the school superintendent and you are talking about bowling and we gotta get serious on bowling, and you see this I come up, you may not recognize him. You might not have seen him since one thousand nine hundred and eighty three but when he says his name, if you were that bully you apps lutely, remember when he says you know I was laying there and urine while everybody was kicking me, you remember that all yeah, even if you do all the time in a bully like that probably did,

but you would remember that incident. So no one this doesn't go. You know much further on that night later. Yeah later in the week they have another school board meeting an he addresses what lance addresses here he is well. I understand the perception. Please know my reaction. This past Monday night was one of shock. It wasn't one of disrespect or insensitivity. I was purely shocked.

You know to the home town that raised me and where I now proudly serve. I regret the negative attention that's and brought to this community in the past week. Ultimately, ultimately, Touched by one person- and that is God, my lord and savior- that's who well Judge Maine right we're not talking about. Ultimately we're talking about your position. Now is Katie Superintendent of public schools, who's trying to fight against bullying yeah who in three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars now he claims he doesn't even know this guy. He claims it didn't happen. He doesn't know him

two witnesses, have come forth. One is a circuit judge in Alabama now says absolutely happening. This guy was a big bully in high school in junior high and high school, and the second is the the Katy resident named Christopher Dolan, who claims he was in the bathroom and saw it all happen, and he has since apologized to Greg Gay for not intervening in trying to help him. So it's it's splitting that community in half, because how the people now is it on? How is that possible? I know unity in half I'll. It should be pretty clear cut. Yeah I mean, even if you you could say well, if you change since then. He needs to step forward and say I did this. My gosh I'm sorry and show empathy that Christ would show especially when you're talking about bullying in the school district, wouldn't that be the quintessential thing

do actually would be a great way to talk about it. It would hey. I would these things is the ever. Even the kids that are involved in this aren't necessarily maybe even bat, kids, maybe one of being upset here numbers, but it we need to stop it before it starts in an unrelated issue, but it ties in because it goes to his care when he was eighteen years old. He after a drug and alcohol party, he was speeding through a neighborhood taken his girlfriend home and a guy who just arrived with his wife from dinner, was getting out of his car on the driveway and yelled hey slow down, so he slammed on his brakes. Backed up an came over an beat the man into a five day. Coma holy crap broke is ribs fractured his skull. I mean it was serious or their charges. And he was sued for it. That suit was they don't I've never seen an explanation for why it was dropped, but it was dropped. You can have a powerful, probably probably uh,

and he was just a kid who felt entitled he says in nineteen. He found God and was as she is. Fine. That's fine! That's fine! Again! That's not the issue. Look if I said to you, if I said to you, hey you Alright, you know I'm a great guy and somebody came up and said you know I knew Glenn in nineteen. Eighty five he fired you for bringing him the wrong pen, okay, I know the name of that Guy Tom Russell not his real name, a name. I gave to mites screw people's all the time. I really really love mushrooms. Actually yeah, you remember Russell. The love muscle is actually the name week ATM so anyway, that's actually a compliment. Yeah yeah, so we've fired people. I was I picked rustle up by that. I one time and said I'm going to eat you for Finn Breakfast. I was not a good guy Tom and I are good friends. Comes in Harrisburg Berg now and we're good friends, and when

I changed. I made the point of reaching out to him and saying and I'm sorry gonna be restitution right you've got to go to your victims and say I am I'm sorry man, I am sorry yeah. I was still a major, I'm still name stew, with no apologies and that one, my wife calls me stew. It's not my name, but I bet that happened because the friend I was with was drunk. No, no, don't blame video for that it was your fault. Then he was drunk. It was now it was not his fault at all. You screwed it up, and he said I said who is an easel is trying to say Steve and I heard stew an I called use to an. I contend. The first I called use do maybe don't say anything the third time, maybe when you're working side by side everyday. At some point you say you know Glenn, I just saw my name. My name is nuts yeah. I did that happen.

You told me that yes, of course, all that's not true anyway. So this is. The problem is going along time. This is a problem. This is a problem for Katie. If look, we all have to have christian compassion, but we all have to ask for forgiveness yeah if that guy, because I could, I first saw that second clip and he starts. To cry? I'm thinking this guy could pull out a gun and kill himself. He feel so bad yeah. No! No, he doesn't is denying it even witnesses when you further, when you hear the first clip at the very end, you hear somebody giggle Ann but he says it was him and that's why he addresses it that my rear, she wasn't one of incense, I was shocked what you giggled over that story. It was a heart, wrenching, gut, wrenching story. You don't giggle. After that, I don't mean I don't care. What your state of mind is. What are you shocked about if you know you're a bully,

pretty good chance? Somebody is eventually going to mention it to you. So how is is that bad? Is your name Gregor Garrett? What was his name? His name is Greg Greg. He goes by bear it apparently now so so, how is he doing have you heard anything from him. I mean. Are you just disgusted with the response that you hide wood badge and he was imagine this? You were told by a principal something that you didn't believe at the time, but you had to believe it was going to have You'll then see this guy go up to the school board, yeah he's never been held responsible for it nobody's ever said anything he's making three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year and he's lecturing about bullying yeah. You would think you know what I can't take it anymore. I have to say something: yes,

you something and you realize the principal was wrong. He's still exactly the same. How do you? How do you deal with that? Yeah and it's in a world where one word that somebody uttered forty years ago in jest loses somebody not just a job but their entire career and they're their shunned. Post from society: they're, never around anymore. You don't even see their name mentioned, but all of that I have to tell you matter and I have to tell you not not that I want lance to be fired. I mean it's none of my position even say that I just want lance to show some some contrition whether that means he loses his job or not. Doesn't meant to me that doesn't matter, but it's some,

You should gather around, though you know what dude you're kind of a pariah in the community, and I mean that's pretty hurtful and there's a lot of people here that verify some say they were there. I mean, do you know you where's your contrition. Then you can embrace him play great lesson to to teach the school, district about bully and kids and kids. What are you if you want? If you weren't around to the schools in the Katie system and talked about his experiences and how deeply he regrets it now but not being powerful thing. Without that the less the two of them could get together. Imagine they could go on a tour all around the country. Right, you know. Look. I was horrible to this man and I I got when I something else. I've lived with it my whole life. He brought it to light hi. I confessed an idea. Been broken in half and now we're friends. Imagine how good that would be, and without that it's

The messages you can do this in the Bin or questions all you're going to be acceptable. There's going to be a kid that is being kicked by a bully and a urinal and he's say in someday, I'm going to make three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars a year and I'm going to keep doing it to people like you. Luckily, with inflation is not going to be anything by then so a gold mine volatility in the stock market wild swings in Bitcoin the constant turmoil in Washington, the the the possum ability of real war with Russia. This changes everything. This is why gold is come off its best year since two thousand and ten. This is why gold is always a safe haven when, when things go unstable, that's when old really comes into play. Now I have never purchased gold as an investment. Although I have made good money on gold, I don't I don't buy gold

as an investment I buy. It is an insurance policy, in all in strategy. Don't take everything and put it all into gold. You spread out your risk. You have some in equities, you hey! You know you have some in gold, you have some cash in the bank, you might have some property in your house or whatever it is, but spread it out. So if one thing goes, you don't have thing there, gold whenever thing else goes down. Gold usually goes up, especially when the thing that is going up is inflation. Call gold line now ask him about their program for the I r raise asking about their their gold Leon that you can get from the canadian mint it just by call and they're going to give you this great copper coin. It is a saint gaudens, copper coin. It is really really beautiful. Just for calling just to ask them one thousand eight hundred and sixty six gold line, one thousand eight hundred and sixty six gold line or goldline dot com,

LAN Glenn back under the program. I want to tell you about a guy who runs the bear Fund and in well on Wall Street is says, look I. I thought there was going to be a melt up. He said so. I was actually very bullish on the stock market for awhile, but what's happening in Syria and what's happening with the FED right now because of the trade wars. He said, I think, is very, very disturbing. We should probably spend a few minutes talking about that on tomorrow's program will see you at five hundred o'clock the blaze com, Slash TV, Glenn, Beck.

Mercury.
