love well FBI. Director, Andrew Mccabe was fired over the weekend, and that was the big storm he
set to receive top tier retirement benefits by officially retiring on Sunday, but the
this came down just hours before,
before I read Mccabe's official response. I think it's beneficial to
clarify the difference between a victim and someone who
guilty of something
If someone robs a gas station, we
penalize the worker that just got robbed
penalize the guy wearing the ski mask right, it's pretty simple, but
Mccabe and the media can't seem to get this one right. So here's Mccabe's official response here
the reality I'm being singled out and treated this way. Because of the role I played the actions I took in the events I witnessed it witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of James CALL, the
Hi Jesus focus on me, and this report became part of an unprecedented effort by the administration, driven by the president's self to remove me from my position, destroy my reputation and possibly strip me of a pension that I work twenty one years to earn hi
gosh he's a victim.
Justice, inspector general.
Is clearly just a.
Trumpian, stooge, helping the
didn't wage war on the FBI, Trump
is hiding all of his collusion get them
because that's the only explanation here right. Unless you take a step back,
can go now, wait a minute. Let me look at all of the facts. Mccabe.
The victim here, the in
after general
the evidence that Mccabe was leaking information to the press
then he lied about it to the inspector general's office under oath. The
Y, the Office of Inspector general, then contacted the FBI's office of professional responsibility, which is
basically a fancy name for hr. Now,
I want you to know that this
HR department is not known for doing anything about anybody
they generally don't recommend any
nothing harsh they.
Informed about what Mccabe had been doing,
to reiterate
charges are leaking information and lying under oath. So what did this hr department? Do?
They recommended fire him all right,
so you have the Oig and
the FBI now saying fire him.
Losing his job should be the least of Mccabe's worries. He may be looking at perjury charges, and
He lied under oath. He should
he charged with perjury and perhaps obstruction of justice, so
seriously who's,
victim here
I contend. It's you
I contend it's the people
of the United States now try.
Department of Justice clearly did this to fire some shots at the FBI. Right I mean it's collusion. Well,
well actually Trump had nothing to do with the investigation by the inspector general. That's the deal with the office
oh ig Office of Inspector general there,
Letley neutral, they're taken out of the system there there.
Just over watch it?
actually requested during
Obama administration by two Democrats. Back
the scandal, wasn't Russia, but who is leaking information on Hillary Clinton
hello Horowitz was the Doj Inspector General and
Obama appointee T
figured this? Is their ace in the hole to find out? Who was hurting Hillary
Well now we know who was doing it, but Demi
That's in the media somehow or another have forgotten how this whole thing started and they
absolutely thrilled when this investigation began the Democrats heated
FBI back when all of this began and they were
for someone to blame, but
how they love the FBI and somehow are trying to find someone to blame the president for an investigation that they called for under the Obama administration and
is being conducted by
Obama appointee. So again,
I just have to ask
who is the victim here?
the person on the receiving end of the crime or the
the wearing
ski mask that is now going to take twenty
one years of pension from you
it's Monday March 19th.
Listening to the Glenn Beck program, you know, do you do you feel, like you get any news, real news from anybody anymore? Do you feel like you?
even understand when you're online do you feel, like you, really understand, and can trust
the stories anymore. I've gotta go like to fourteen different sources before. I trust that I have it down. Yeah, I'm honestly, just bored with it. At this point,
you know it's weird: it's not boring in a
teen hundreds, you know Jane Austen Movie Way. Really it's boring in the fast and furious kind of way.
We all know that you
a fast and furious movie and there's going to be a lot of car, chases and explosions, and it's not to say that any of those individual things are exciting, but this
when you step back. Are you excited about a new fast and furious movie? It's the same crap. You know everything. You know, there's going to be a car that takes off from one bridge blows up
mid air flips over the person inside is going to jump out of the car and landed somehow in another car on the other bridge. Again, you know what I think I understand what you're saying 'cause. If you miss one fast and furious, you can pick it up the next one and you really didn't miss anything right. It's like you kind of roll your eyes while you're there, and it's like the media reaction to all of this, is always
did massive mega explosions with VIN diesel level, and you know,
get that every single day? For me,
couple years.
Becomes dull
you know I know it's an explosion, but it's just dull
at this point, I'm every one of these every day. I feel like we just waste our time. You know what did Tokyo drift
it really change anyone's life, and I think the answer to that. No, no! So here's some good news for you, the women's March, is losing membership.
Now. This is really good news. Members of its own administration aft
refusing to distance itself from the noted, Anti semitic. Louis Farrakhan
According to the New York Post,
group social media, Directora Lysocline Jump ship last week, an condemned the women's March leadership on her way out, calling
Eric a dangerous troll. I think he's more than a dangerous troll.
Maybe it's just me but I'll, take it I'll take it. She said
so the women's March take those in take those in leadership positions to task for supporting him
he wrote in on Twitter. I respect loyalty, but I do not respect unquestioning loyalty, especially
if it means attacking those who are asking legitimate questions, and
especially if it means turning a blind eye to they hate spoken about a group of people question
leaders leaders be open to questions wow, that's fantastic!
Alyssa Klein is her name.
In recent weeks see if he knew this in recent weeks, the movement, the women's March,
the movement lost support of planned parenthood. I didn't hear that
Did you hear that everywhere I did not. I did not hear that perhaps the movements for
most ally, in support of women's rights and smaller state, babe brace bait. Smaller state based branches of the women's March have broken off from the main entity site
Tamika, Mallory and Linda's.
Our source love for Farrakhan. How is it that the biggest
most powerful. I mean imagine the tea party that EP,
he broke away from you know. I don't know, I think, of in the height
Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck well
Would that have been news?
they may even mention yeah yeah. It may have,
mentioned so
there's some good news there. I will tell you that Dershowitz,
was on television over the weekend. In fact, let's play the segment where he was talking about the
Democrats that are embracing Lewis, Farah Khan. So then Keith Ellison has to be
fired immediately as deputy chairman of the Dnc, not own,
Is he become close to Farrakhan, but he's lying to the american public about
ending his relationship with Farrakhan. We know that
continue you to meet with Farrakhan even after he said he no longer met with him. This is the leadership of the Democratic party. Farrakhan is a bigot. He is far worse
David Duke. Why? Because
Air has a large following David. Duke is a joke. He doesn't have a large following.
Has no influence on university campuses. He has no influence with any major segment of the american public, but we see that Farah
it's continuing influence within the african american community at the very highest levels. That's why he's so much more dangerous and he ought to be treated the way we treat David
any Republican dare to meet with David, Duke
would be the end of their karere. It should be the end of the career of any Democrat who has any
see Asian with this big, so
I think this is really.
This is really important: uh
I think we need to. I think we all need to decide
we are and where our lines are you,
they're always decide. You know what I'm willing to do before. You're asked to do it. You know is
the worst case scenarios like what I do that. No, so when you get there, you already know the answer, and I thought
for a very long time that there were things that we could all agree on, and I still believe this stop
sexual harassment and abuse of women,
and of men: it doesn't matter, stop
sexual and, quite honestly, mental abuse, physical abuse.
Any kind of abuse,
I can't imagine anyone making a case for that
standing by know you now what is not so bad. It is
and we all know that.
And that's why the
two movement, but
signed the political aspect of it.
Has made a real difference.
Because we're not those people we're not
so in the 1950s- and you know uh,
mad men we're just not those people, we
agree on that.
We agree on stopping bigotry,
those who are different or choose to live differently? We're not bigots.
We don't want to round anybody up. Will
judge people as individuals. Now this one is gotten slippery because we are,
we're just replacing one
individual with another individual and
not the goal? That's not progress. Taking the
sexuals and saying: ok, homosexuals transgendered your now. Ok, but Christians are bad. No, no, no! No! No.
Ok, we fix the race problem. Black
Cool whites are bad, no every
every real american that I know they know that this is the
so that Martin Luther King was right, judge people on the content of their character, not the color,
skin
identity or any of that nonsense.
That's the content of their character. Ann is
Luther king said America. It's time you live up to the words that you worship.
All men are created equal, it's all we have to do is live up to it,
And there was another cat:
or that I really thought that we all agreed on, and that is-
You know, I don't think
We called Jews vermin. What do you say? It didn't work out well,
hasn't worked out well in the past. Apparently for the old right
and for the extreme left it so that's uh.
That's a hard one to get their arms around yeah.
Hard time not saying Jews are vermin. You know what
first of America, Democrats and Republicans I mean the ones who are actually out in the middle of the country Working-
the problem with that.
They're, not they're, not talking about how the Jews
control everything there
there's no difference between NEO Nazis and
Akon when it come
to the Jews. They agree and
We condemn them because
they believe that the black man or the white man is the cause of not all of the problems because
all of the problems are caused by them, dirty Jews Democrats
This is your challenge, just as the Republicans have there's the alt right hate the Jews,
that is the canary in the coal mine Democrat,
the leaders of the women's March or
embracing Farah Khan, bye,
by just saying. Well, I do not only they obviously hate the Jews again
When you see Anti Semitism, you have to get away from it or.
When that canary stops singing you're next
and we will all be dragged down and die in the darkness of the
line.
Our is getting lower and lower every day. What do you say? It's our money,
slogan.
Furman,
now the root of all evil there not the problems
high bar to clear for the women's March. I don't think they can pull that one off it's a hard line to it's a hard one to two
or, if you're a NEO Nazi, two yeah, it does seem to be that way. Yeah, so it kind of cuts.
Both ways. Maybe everybody should recognize you
They're clearly deny that and get away from
people are your might be part of the problem. You heard me

Glenn Beck.
So, on Friday, we had the director and Dennis Quaid and a lot of them.
Involved in the movie. I can only imagine it was expected open at about two million dollars,
you know they were only about fifteen million short.
It opened in half
I'm sorry over half of the theaters eight believe what you mean is less that had I sorry at less than half of the theaters for black Panther in tomb. Raider, it came in
three at
seventeen million dollars. Tomb raider was twenty three million dollars and black pants
was twenty seven. Ten million shy,
if they would have had all of the theaters it may have at least would have been two yeah pretty incredible. I mean that
that's amazing, and on a seven million dollar budget of seventeen million dollars.
We can that's a nice. The US turn where tomb raider was ninety four million dollars and it may twenty three yeah that doesn't that's not a good start yet, not a good start, not a good start. That's that's incredible! Wrinkle in time only made sixteen million
others love Simon. Eleven million game night dinner was solid.
Is it yeah? It was very funny. I mean it's an r rated comedy with Jason Bateman, but very very funny, like Jason
yeah he's really exotic salt Peter Rabbit? You see that my kids saw it yeah they like everything, so they liked it strangers
play at night, red sparrow.
So it was pretty solid, is a little confusing in a little long, but pretty good, and I think that was killed by her I mean
Jennifer Lawrence yeah. I think all of her. You know
if you seen it, it was also saved by her death. Wish.
Death wish is gotta be. I saw this to the probably the most pro NRA movie ever made. It says there are times where they're just like two minutes
It's about how important it is for you to have a gun to protect yourself, because the cops won't show up fast enough again, it's it's like it's like you're.
Sitting to a talk, show in movie form,
seven days in Entebbe came in the number. Thirteen
I saw that last night. That's really good, really good
if you you know, if you're into history
pretty amazing story. Seven days in Terbi Bye
we have Jim Caviezel coming up in studio today, Glenn back
mercury,
you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. Still, I know you're you're very much into
That's a global warming and
is a new theory now on what
the snow in Washington DC. This is Dc City, council, member Trayon White,
on the snow in Washington DC,
this is not a small one. I don't know where this morning you have a visitor to this climate control. It's kind of a manipulation and DC keep talking about. We are resilient city, but as a model based off the rock chalice control to climb it to create Natchez as they can pay for, the only cities may be careful. Okay, so
that would be the Jews that you controlling the climate,
They Dc City Council members weren't you just trying to set the high bar csr vermin. Yes, well, he didn't say they were verb and just said that the Rothschilds were controlling the weather.
And he's employed by anyone,
what is the a city council city councilman on real for the District of Columbia? Well, he took the took the lid off of that one.
They now here's a state representative,
That is working, let's see West Bridgewater. This is
up, I believe in Massachusetts.
Her name is Michelle Dubois, and here is what she had to say about a sign
That is marking a very famous general,
and a statue go ahead, female staffers,
don't use that entrance because the sign is offensive
and, let's just a little Samantha,
it's a little word, play that some people find
charming and funny, but I find can be hurtful. Ok, that's the
That's not what the sign is. You
the general hooker entrance.
Apparently famous general hooker.
And so she is saying that she wants the sign taken down because she's offended by the man's name. Oh my gosh general Hooker
they're, not calling her a hooker. She is aware of this. No, I don't think she's saying she could he
That she would never use that doorway, but she just saying you know
You know all the general hookers in the area that views that
Generally, if you're a hooker you should enter here, is your life, your I or, if you're, a general hooker, if you're, not a specific coker right, okay, like you'll, make it with anybody. You know general
Sir, through here specific hookers have another entrance off to the side:
particular fetish that you specialize around. If you are, if you have a shoot down, Atrix situation right on your different way, but if you just generally just generally jerking a poker, you walk through that door. Okay, yeah you'll service! Anybody that your doorway! That's your entrance and
you can stand there and see that statue coincidentally named general,
Booker. What are the odds, so he was also a prostitute. No, he went out. No, he wasn't no
So this is an actual issue they. Actually this is the actual issue. She is trying to get the sign list
store again. It's hurtful females.
Offers don't use that entrance, because the sign is offensive to them
It's just a little semantics. A little word play that summer.
Will find very charming and funny, but I find can be hurtful. Ok, it's not hurtful in less. Somebody takes that sign in hits you over the head,
ok, then it is hurtful. That's how signs are you. It may make you uncomfortable because you're doing the word play
is, this sign is not word play. No, it is not something
will find to be kind of funny Jenner
entrance
you're going to see general hooker. That's the entrance
You are playing a little word player going. What are you ate? General hooker boots general?
general hookers coming through here. Well, the whole, you I mean,
it is it's really seventh grade? We really do have the world we deserve
if that is who we are seriously it women is this. Is this your movement?
are you so I will say it's better than the we hate the Jews women's March movement. The I offended by the hookers sign movement is better than the we hate the Jews women's March. May ok, again again, it's a larious very low here, but can we raise it up just a little bit, I mean you know
this is the you know what this is. This is making women. Why
oh my I might be getting a case of the vape
Oh my goodness, don't say that in front of us. Ladies, I mean that's what this is my general hooker. What are my stars? I've! Never, who are just going
all I've got to sit down. How what I would do. We need fainting couch is for all of these called feminists, just in case they. Well. I just, I think, I'm a little light it it. It is amazing, be sort of weird double standards we have.
With the stuff because, again like we, it's the same people who get offended by the
hooker, on a sign that is a guy's name.
Are the same people who will tell you that wearing a hat with a female
a body part on it is
it's completely. Five right and shan't ever be criticized they're, the ones
the ones who, when you say hey, can you not use that language
free speech, okay, alright, okay, I just I just have my
nursing daughter and all of my.
Kids, who are under a ten
you're using the F word in ways: I've not even heard free speech, you don't like it go to another country pal! Oh, ok! Thank you. Ma'am!
We have clay, travel,
goes on CNN and says the word boobs, and it's like a month. Long controversy, you know, know now bring that up, because I heard
commercial on CNN the same network which you're apparently not to say you're, not allowed to say Boob's.
And they're doing a multi part special about
thanks around the world,
and they're like just. I can't take that, but
ok! So now I can't take that. I couldn't take the Kennedys special hosted by
Martin sheen, I'm sure that's going to be fair and
the duck the eighteen year documentary the Catholic
narrated by Liam Neeson, all all that's! What's going to be very fair, all very, very fair and very pro Catholic, I'm sure is interesting. You bring up the host because that's the part that really weird to me, I
and this one because
I know I get you
a special on sex. I guess you could do it if you're seeing it. I don't know why you would need
Do that, especially if your standard is you're not allowed to say the word boobs on tv ratings for it exactly, but if they wanted ratings, the sex is
so would not be hosted by Christiane Almond war.
Literally the worst person on earth to host a sex special. I don't know I can't quantify why that is, but it is no, I think, in
in some circles sheet. Is a contraception account yourself,
I see it possible honey. I just know I'm not at turn on CNN Christiane Amanpour is on bass,
the shower you just saying her name, what I'm good, I'm good! It's a little! It's a little
Maybe in the double standard is a little yeah. I can't I just can't take the double standard. That's, that's! That's! That's! That's really! The
problem, the people who say that
You have to not only be tolerant, but we have to celebrate everything
Everyone believes. Unless
Yes, it's actually history, unless it's it let
cool and the actual name of someone? Well then uh? Oh, I better sit down other vapers here are just
Look at all the ladies that are just passing out.
What's women of ill repute, '
chaos at the grocery stores,
this this one. You know
in the Jews control the weather weather like what's his name from the Dc. Can City Council said it's a rough?
controlling the weather. I know I know it's not! No! It's a winter storm yeah anyway question can, I think God is true. Wish are a wise move, he's gotten baptized. It is confusing. Anyway,
so the storms that are the first thing you see. Is everybody going to the grocery store and they're panicking? Why? Because they they know they have ducks.
Us and soy sauce in the refrigerator, and so if I got a
I don't know if I can make it three days without food,
my patriot supply can help you out. If you have nothing in the line of food storage, your
Seventy two hour emergency food kit that is breakfast

n dot com. That's prepare, we plan dot, com or call eight.
Word, two hundred and seventy one sixty three eight hundred two hundred seven thousand one hundred and sixty three prepare
with Glenn DOT com-
and back mercury,
so I want to play something from Jonathan Turley. Jonathan Turley is a is a constitutional scholar,
liberal or left leaning law, professor,
George Washington University.
He has been a steady voice, since I think even in the 90s is when I first started seeing Jonathan
and generally he is spot on on things and it doesn't matter
which side it is. Generally speaking here
what he had to say over the weekend about uh
The dismissal of Mccabe by the FBI listen have defied this firing. Well, what is justified in the sense that it was good. These were career officials at the office of professional responsibility
It made this recommendation, which is exceedingly rare. In fact, I'm unprecedented for someone in this position
These are not political appointees. The opi are, quite frankly, is not viewed as a particularly aggressive office
So all of that makes this a relatively rare sanction coming from career officers. They clearly concluded that Mccabe
let them and if they miss that he misled them on one of the core issues, they were investigating out a collateral issue. What is going
we created an issue going forward, is whether there will be a criminal referral, Michael Flynn,
was indicted for making a false statement to investigators. Now it's true
who's that they were looking at him for other crimes as well, but there
will some. They will argue. Why would you indict Michael Flynn Button FBI?
after the FBI director eat is, is just worried about his pension, not prison shouldn't. Should we all be questioning that I me see this is this? Is the problem? Justice is blind. That's the way it's supposed to be. Justice is
blind, but I don't think justice is blind. I mean and we've known that we've known that, because justice wasn't
aim for african Americans? Justice isn't
wasn't blind for Oj Simpson in the opposite way. Just
isn't blind for the for the the political people in our country. That's a problem! If you went over after Flynn for lying, you have to go after this guy.
Even if you don't go after this guy. If I lie to the FBI
are you going to under oath? You think they're going to go after me. Of course they will do you do it? Will they go after you
of course they will
They should this is kind of,
is discussion. We had with President Clinton
Can you lie under oath? Does it matter? The answer is no. No.
It seems reasonable that you started the hour with a part of his actual statement. Mccabe statement we're just this kind of fiery response, saying basically, the president is coming after me, he's attacking me, but in the
statement, if you read the whole thing he bay
Klay admits he did it. I think listen to these two parts
hearing these inquiries. I answered questions truthfully and as accurately as I could, amidst the chaos that surrounded me and when I
My answers were misunderstood. I contacted investigators to correct,
later on. He goes on to say, uh, let's see, and I thought my hear what I thought my answers were misunderstood, like ok, so as hell that
No, that's not what, but again he's he's admitting the basis of this right, like that
I think he said wasn't true correct. I thought they were misunderstood later on. He says uh, you know, I've always had distinction integrity. Just ask people
to have my career and this way into be accused of lacking candor, when at worst I was distracted in the midst of chaotic events is incredibly disappointing and unfair. I'd like to see what those what those distractions were or what caused
those distractions caused him to say exactly so when and where to find that out. We don't have the report yet right now we're just. We only have the reporting on the report, which is never the best way to do these things. But beyond that, it's it's. If this is true right, like let's say there are chaotic events in you and you make a statement, you still get in trouble for that when you're not telling the
yes, particularly if they again like you, only get in trouble if you did something intentionally wrong. The other part of this is it's a good argument as to why you shouldn't, if you're Donald Trump go in front of mother and actually meet with him, because you, even if
even if there is something that you just missed, eight or you get the facts. Wrong will hold him till they will hold him to it. Absolutely I mean I, I
because I'm an american citizen and want the truth would be
fine with him going to Muller. If I'm, if I'm in
residents administration, I'm telling him don't, because I'm fine
and with him going in front of Muller. If he can
troll himself and
nothing. You know that he did wrong, I mean if he did something wrong. I also want him in front of Miller, but the problem with Trump is he just kind of elaborate
and not necessarily all of that is, is true and they will hold him to every single word. They won't hold this guy, even though this was independent. The
Opr. This is unprecedented for them to recommend determination, termination,
Mercury
love, courage, truth, Glenn, Beck, ok, hear me out on this. Just for a second. What do you think constitutional amendment that has an inclusion writer.
So you know we're going to get together. We're going to do anything. We just got to check the
not formally known as constitution, and it who do we need to include,
there is a really ugly hypocritical side to the prolonged cultural moment that America is having regarded regarding issues of gender and race,
That is a growing hostility to a specific group of people,
even as it includes every other group,
uh
you know and preaches to them that you have to include every other group. To
I so absurd that even a nerdy conference for history, professors at Stanford is being you know, build as to
we to mail last,
You can female history, professor at Harvard University tweeted, some
screenshots of several of the speakers at this history conference and wrote, quote all male history conference. This goes for the.
This book of the century. I'll, not. I bet
there's probably more white people that have attended another conference, I'm not sure a team.
Thirty white male historians will discuss applied history at Stamford. What a shame now
don't think she means
It's a shame that they're getting together to discuss
or how to apply it. I think she
It's a shame, because this group of thirty or all white men
she repeated the sentiment over several days, calling the gathering shameful as if it was a clan history conference. Other female,
Professor critics agreed until finally, the browbeating affected the conference direct are Nile Ferguson, who is a great historian. He apologized saying we did
discuss diversity ahead of time and have invited several women, but
they were all unable to attend. But even that being said, we quote must redouble our efforts to represent diverse viewpoints in future conference.
End quote yeah! You want a diverse look at history. Invite me
yeah because see, even though I am a white man, I bet I disagree with a lot of the other white men that
in that conference a
Like we don't have diverse viewpoints. Is it
all about the color of our skin and what we have in our pants, because
I think I remember something
Martin, Luther King, saying something different,
we were all supposed to remember and celebrate, and I do.
Does anybody else anymore? The
and cultural Climate Ferguson had to say something for self preservation per
this is, are we really all this board and this self absorbed that we now have to find white privilege, villainy and every nook and cranny of culture? Why why? Why are the the dark sides of Oreos on the outs,
And there is a white filling that what holds it together
you're telling me that two dark cookies couldn't hold themselves together, will know in this case we're talking a cookie, no.
Progressives, have done a masterful job of turning diversity into their highest virtue and now
they've achieved that they're just showing you that you will be diverse
we'll eliminate those voices that aren't diverse enough all okay, alright Americans all believe different things.
We've been told we should celebrate all those different things that we believe now we're being
Old only celebrate those things that the
group leaders tell you we can celebrate.
The most important thing- and I remember pulling I remember, hearing people saying this when I was a kid. Instead of focusing on all of the things that divide us, white,
focus on a few of the things that unite us I've. I think that there is still a large section
Maybe eighty percent of this country,
stand right that really
spooked by this diversity, policing the really kind of
by we want
diverse voices, except for those get him off campus and if they
Oh leave, well throw a molotov cocktail through a J dot crew window. I think we're all kind of freaked out by that.
Diversity, policing by citizen cops on social media is a danger to a free society of all the people. You would you would think that would get this. You would think
it would be a group of really smart history professors.
Wow. It's Monday March, 19th year, listening to the Glenn Beck program, wanted to get one of my favorite self
historians, Brad Meltzer, on the phone talk about this and his new book, the escape artist
which Brad I have to tell you I finished reading. You know after
after your interview, I hate having people on and not reading their book, but I
it took me, I think two day,
Is to read it an I was up till three hundred o'clock in the morning. Thank you, uh an it was fantastic. The reason why I was up
three is I could not. I could not stop reading it. It's great book.
I appreciate it. I mean you know we you and I were emailing afterwards and you know I said to you that the most intimate thing in life is being understood.
And understanding someone else, and you have always just completely gone. What I'm doing, and especially with this book the
Mission that went behind in the history that went behind this. It really did
You ready to meet that. You wrote to me and said this book. I feel like it's changed you and, and you can't go to Dover AIR Force Base and see if you know some of the most amazing heroes,
in our society. An Levon changed, so the
message that I wrote to you where I said this, I think, is almost a reinvention
or a re pointing on the compass of
of not only your course, but also all the the action adventure kind of of books. You know the
Mason born kind of book has been
over and over and over again, this is deeper and different?
Do you do you understand that? And how would you explain that yeah
Why do I very much on the Senate because I've been writing for you know this is my twentieth year. Writing thrillers and- and you know I met you know right at the beginning of that career and usually you write a thriller, and you know the good guy have to beat the bad guy and that's basically what the fight is about and in this book,
If I'm really being honest it would. This book was a transaction like any
you know: I've done the secret tunnels below the White House. I've done the hidden labyrinth below the capital. I thought when I got after my Uso tour.
In the Middle EAST. I thought that when I went to Dover AIR Force Base, it was just going to be like that I'd walk in, they would tell me some cool stuff. I would write a thriller where the good guys beat the bad guys and when I got there I was humble glam
I was humbled by what I saw by watching these people who take care of our fallen soldiers at Dover. Air force base
although you know to overstep place art where we were used to those flag cover coffins coming off the plane's, what I didn't realize was that Dover has the biggest cases.
It's where, whether it's not on nine Slash eleven, the Pentagon victims when the space shuttle victims when the space goes down, but again what you and I just quickly talked about- was
those people that take care of those who no one knows about the spies are zero sevens across the country we've seen in the CIA headquarters, there stores right behind on the on the wall, and they say these stars represent.
Fallen, soldiers fallen, CIA members, no,
punkin know their name and the people at Dover know their name, 'cause they're, rebuilding them when their bodies come back and so watch them rebuild someone's hand
'cause the mother says I want to hold my son's hand, one last time or to rebuild someone's jaw for fourteen hours,
because they say you know what I want this family to be able to recognize and
see their son or daughter off one last time that humbling it. You write in the book that that's not part of their job. That's things that they decide to do that. Each of the examiners are the forensics guys they they take their time to do
Yeah, the one that I just sent you fourteen hours, Rewiring someone whose job that I make that up, that really happened and the person who did it didn't take overtime for it. They can fourteen hours,
they didn't take overtime because they started the mission, and when I saw that I knew I wasn't, writing a thriller about good guys and bad guys anymore. But I was reading about some of the most
Horton Ways we deal with light and look out for each other and the battles that my character's biggest facing with the loss of a child with the loss of you know trying to reclaim what what that hole in his chest will never be able to be held with was just bigger than anything I've written about, and it I'll tell you this. I can tell you this before, because I
No it I was on book tour last week and I stopped in Miami in my hometown now and a woman said
You know, Brad, I've read all your books
he said, and they usually about some kind of you know hard luck, kid who basically is trying to get to that next level. The Supreme Court, the White House, whatever the next level, is
it just eventually kind of can't get there or when they do get there. They realize it's just not as amazing as they thought it was going to be an. She said.
Right and my mother in law was in the front row
and my mother in law laughed and said huh, but she knew that's my life and I said to the woman I said: that's my life,
ok, I came from you know very modest beginnings. I was at first my family to go to college. That was my life. I said you're absolutely right now, my said, but this book is not
and what I realized in the last week, without even thinking
that's. What I was writing from is a new perspective. It was the perspective of being a father. He never did that.
Or an, and now I had Zigbee in this father, whose again trying to put to rest all these fall.
Sons and daughters and the result
as I wrote from my mature place from what happened over twenty years, I've grown
somehow someway- and I wish I was smart enough to know
Who is doing that, but I think what you're feeling is that same love? You have for your kids that same love. I have for my kids that this more powerful than any kind of you know trying to achieve
something that will ever do talking to Brad Meltzer. He is a fan
writer and author of the New York Times, bestseller the escape artist, which is out now and it's just it's, it's fantastic one of the better books that I've read in a long time brand. I want to change the subject it just a little bit and
and talk to you about it. Have you seen it you seen what's happening with Facebook and
the algorithms and and
and how they are taking in
nation and using- and I'm trying to buy one story here. I've seen it. Of course it didn't
credible, is that I was obsessed with this story all weekend. I said I want to do. I want to go. You know if you look at my twitter feed,
the day after the election. It was like a day or two fx, and I said the greatest story that is not being told right now is so obvious now, but I said them was how the Russians played with our
action and played with Don and again whatever you want to see and and people are like all your check and I'm like I'm not taking sides, it's just mathematical back.
And and over the weekend a story came out that very
high level? Not only russian, but also republican in and again Democrats will you know they give it to Democrats to Democrats depend by. Did it mean it didn't see the the opportunity but were able to take
Facebook data and by answering you know those little quizzes that they say. Are you a happy person? Are you a pessimistic person describe yourself? They put these kind of quizzes out on Facebook and in figuring out these quizzes, and what people clicked on
I could figure out our personalities and therefore figure out what we're susceptible to what kinda ads were susceptible to what kind of things to convince us and it becomes this no
and you know that I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I think we confuse the word conspiracy with kooky and crazy. This is something that really happened in America. When you have big data out there and information on Facebook out there and we're constantly liking things and clicking things. Eventually, it gives you a profile of who we are, and if you can take all those millions of profiles of people, you can figure out how to influence them
and the thing that I think of upsets. All of us is we don't, like you know it's like subliminal advertising. We don't like being influenced without us, knowing we're being influenced and that's what they did here. So I want to
back take a quick break, and I want to talk to you about a new algorithm that I am I am really concerned about.
It came out in Bloomberg this weekend and
It is something that I have read about in all the futurist books, but

So here's the story got out of Bloomberg, talking to Brad Meltzer, the author of the escape artist. If humans are going to entrust big decisions on computers, how can they ensure that these computers act in humanity's best interests? Amazingly, given the increasing power in persuasiveness of algorithms, it's a question that researchers are just beginning to answer. How can we make
or that act fairly. The start with we need to define fair at a recent conference.
University. They were,
as Trudeau Risk Profiler, for example, treat all racial groups equally, regardless of their other differences. Should it in
college differences but focus on achieving similar error rates, should it correct for pre
Yes, wrongs! Do some
definition seem good in the short term, but have negative long term repercussions. What we
did for Brad.
I think you know what we're headed for. I read this amazing article. I
so the things you know why I love talking about this. You know these are the things that years ago I got invited by the Department of Homeland Security to come in and brainstorm different ways that terrorists.
Tap the United States and the reason that I think they brought people like myself him who are fiction writers is they wanted to figure out? What's the craziest thing you could do and what I was fascinated with
I I started studying why you know: when did they start bringing people in like this? How did this happen and one of the things that they told me
I found out, is there was a conference a few years back of futurist people who kind of try to fathom what the future going
are really good at figuring out what the future will bring,
and the number one thing that they said: what's the greatest threat to United States right now and use
be things like nuclear war. You know things like that. The greatest threat according to this futurist now is,
a small group of individuals who have just an idea that they can't shake.
And they're willing to do anything for it and what what society is facing right now is the ability of people to a small group, not a country, we're not fighting Russia, we're not fighting the cold war anymore, we're fighting a tiny group of people. This is, if you saw this article you're talking about it. You know it's a group of like a small
This is what we're fighting, who were basically able to influence us and the article that I read. That really scared me is what we lose in. All of this, the the the real thing that dies is truth. That's why,
disappears, because we don't realize anymore. We can't trust what we
So how do you? How do you solve for that? What do you do to prepare? I have been thinking
all weekend I've been been thinking. You can facebook takeaway news. Can you take away
all it takes from it. Can you limited to just people posting about their kids and dogs in the way that you know we know it's fair and
truth is. I don't know how I personally think um that this is one of
things. The same way we regulate what the news is on tv. The same way we
try to regulate. At least some certain things is Facebook can't be the wild west that has too much power, and when you have that much power to info,
billions of people and the way that they think you have a problem. You have a real
problem, and I think that you know when you look at Mark Zuckerberg saying you know what this never happened and then quickly realizing. Oh my gosh. This did happen and we need to take
in a town and we we have to figure out how to what the consequences are. I do
so if anyone knows what to do, but we, I would say this to everyone. Listening is when you see something on Facebook, that's posted, it's so easy to click alike and say,
big man. I agree with that, but check it. First escape artist is name of the book. Brad Meltzer, thanks Brad back.
Mercury,
This is the Glenn Beck program on a play. The audio here from Dc Councilmember train on white senior. He is he's a
on the city Council and it was snowing, he was driving in his car and he decided to post a video driving.
And doing a video that, but that's
let's call united band texting, but God forbid. Of course, you can obviously video make live commentary as
here's what he said. Listen,
this is not a small one. I don't know where this morning you have a visitor to this climate control. It's kind of a manipulation and DC keep talking about. We are resilient city, but as a model based off the rock chalice control to climb it to create Natchez as they can pay for the only cities may be careful. You should
Careful of that I mean, I would say, if that's occuring in your area, which the Jews, Jews, controlling the weather, it's something to be careful about yeah. It's just
public service announcement from this program right- okay- I don't,
that's true. Values are trying to control the weather to take over our cities,
but well he didn't say it was true. Just said you should need to watch out for it. You know
he's apologizing he's apologize this one. I want you to listen carefully to this this about
in response to my social media post on Friday. As a leader, I work hard everyday to combat racism and prejudices of all kinds. Don't think he wrote this. No, it's
It gets to point me. You might believe it. I want to
all the giants to the jewish community in anyone that I've offended the jewish community.
Have been allies with me in my journey to help people
then tend to be Anti semitic
and I see I should not have said that, after learning from my colleagues, he
broke. That line
that line, so he didn't intend to be a nice, a medic, and he sees now that he should not have said that. Okay, so after learning from his colleague all right, so with
I'm he's sorry, he didn't mean to go after the Jews buddy.
The now realises that he should have said that, because somebody told him that's a bad idea to say that
I? Yes, I did, it does appear to be the the the it does order of events, but does it do you think that means hey that was stupid to say or that
just the dumbest thing. I've ever heard. I mean
Maybe you could argue, he didn't realize the Rothschilds controlling the weather was an anti semitic. Conspiracy, like
he just is just a crazy conspiracy theorists and it's just believing it, but not, for instance, medical reasons he can drive.
He can Dryad has access to the internet. Right
well I mean I wouldn't say this was a well researched of post. I mean he seemingly was doing it off the top of his head, as he could do it again for science purposes. Here for this
the reasons: listen to it again,
this is not a small one. I don't know where this one out no way out of it fits into to this climate control, it's kind of
and DC keep talking resilient city
based based off the Rothschilds controlling the climate to create natural disaster, they can pay for it. On the cities, may be careful, I'm wondering I'm wondering where
I heard that don't,
now, maybe on the internet
maybe on the internet, is it possible that
is somebody who follows: Lewis, Farah Khan- I I don't know
Follow up with good, follow up question: where did you learn about the Rothschilds and there
weather machine at the interesting
in. He says that starts snowing out of nowhere.
If that snow goes from the state of there's no snow and then the snow begins which
also would describe every other snow storm. That's ever occurred
always not snowing and then snowing. That's how it comes out of nowhere. So it's almost actually coming out of the cloud now that works, yeah yeah, it's a strange observation. Really you have a long time to prepare like people in California, don't have so long because the
so that you're not seeing tape of the rest of the country getting that store. Now you get it at the very end. It's traveled all the way across the country. I would say to
is only a visual, but for those of you who did not see the video of this there's like four flakes
yeah for the sky. It is not snowing a lot. This is the worst climate control effort of all time
the jews- are losing their game. They have.
Apparently, are not good at this anymore good enough. He goes on by the way to say I have spoken to
leaders and my friends at Jews, United for Justice or Juj.
And they are helping Maine to under
stand. The history of comments made against Jews and I am committed to
figuring out ways to continue to be allies with them and others,
there you go well. I think he's learned his lesson. Let me ask you this.
Aaron Hernandez they're now saying he was gay and that he kill
this guy in
Thirteen, because he knew that Hernandez was gay.
I've heard this rumor before and, of course, New England, patriots tight end was convicted of murder.
Also acquitted of another double.
I believe it was him getting all of his murders can confuse, but he
have a he did want to killing himself
fairly recently, but
now saying that it's it's a it's a it's a gay issue
he was closeted in, did not and was a frayed.
It would be, was angry about it. He's angry about him.
Ok, is there any evidence to support this
uh. Well, his his defense team says uh. It was it was clear that this man was
now is it okay, when you have evidence like that, it was clear, yeah, okay
make a difference in his sentencing is as they do. But what I wanted to ask me, I thought we would. I thought it would be nice. I couldn't get Kevin spacey on the phone, but
the last time I heard a defense like this was for Kevin Spacey. Are you can't?
me for me, too 'cause, I'm gay yeah. That was essentially his answer. He only did
cuz, I hey, I'm gay.
The world was essentially his statement. Yes, look at this instead of the first thing and by the way the media went along with that. Initially many of the initial stories with Kevin Spacey comes out as gay, which is exactly what I was trying to do and so
being about him a potentially assaulting all these people allegedly
and him losing his giant job and really all of his jobs, not
house of cards, but also the room.
Man in the world. What was that movie that Christopher Plummer wanted taking his role from, and obviously he's just basically out of work now
this would work for Andrew Mccabe if he just
came out bad smart, I'm gay. He fired because I'm gay yeah, that's very smart approach. I don't know it doesn't seem to work
You like that work better. At one point, four
yeah. Do you think he should? I don't think it should of not, but maybe it did it didn't work for Kevin Spacey. I don't know
murder somebody, I'm gay,
yeah, but you murdered somebody yeah. I don't think that's a trait of gayness here,
resting set of standards we can all discuss today. Raj is it maybe, if you're black, an if you're gay, an if you're, jewish and if you're white, you should be treated the same
maybe to commit a crime, you should go to prison for the same amount of time. I don't know no, no, no! Maybe if you're you know a politically connected demo,
You should still get fired. If you break the rules, no, maybe
the media shouldn't just immediately side with you, because you're from a protected group of some sort. No ok, here's the!
again. I go back to that Bloomberg article by the by the way, Jim Caviezel is going to be with us in studio twenty in about twenty minutes
algorithm that they are now designing.
Only beginning to understand, for example, how facial recognition technology tends to misidentify minorities real.
Police are using its search for suspects, the standard
cedar is set to algorithms loose on people without checking for flaws and almost with little or no mechanism for appeal. So how do we get these?
machines to act fairly. Well, we have to define fair
the risk profiler, for example, treat all racial groups equally, regardless of their other differences.
Now I would say yes now.
If it's going to miss identify people because it's misreading features then that's a problem, but
when it comes to hey who's, the best shot of killing this person. I think, as long as we're putting Faxian in
I don't really care what color they are white black
Well, it doesn't matter to Maine, should it acknowledge differences but focus on achieving.
Similar error rates should it correct for
vs wrongs, that's going to be a fun one! You have correcting for previous wrongs. That's a wonderful pathway. Do some sit. It definitions seem good in the short term, but have no
negative longer, replications there
balance seems to be somewhere in the middle. The latest paper finds that
Members of a disadvantaged group are given loans at rates higher than
in the maximum profit scenario, but low,
other than the forced equality scenario they brought

that short term costs to the lender, bye
it's likely beneficial in the longer term, as society as a whole becomes better off one of the things that
was that some groups gave a lot of loans to under.
Large minority groups or whatever to try to be fair and that fairness.
Lead them to getting loans they should not have had, which also led them.
Defaulting on loans that they should not have had, which one
hurting them in the long term because they went bankrupt or ruin their credit because they had loans. They shouldn't have had yes, but that happening to a few people that
okay, we can have the algorithm spit out
were will be, nothing mean nothing if an algorithm
it's out something that is politically correct it instead of this, is what's most likely to happen.
Then it's of no use of no use? It's it's! It's just a social, just just a social justice tool. Oh my, I never thought of it that way.
Criminal risk scores can turn people into criminals and face
looks Newsfeed sure they keep people engaged, but they also promote outrage. An even catalyze violence. Watt. Now look here's the thing. Ok, I think we all
I mean I hate to have. You know ask everybody put on their big pants here for a second, but Facebook isn't doing any of this we are, we are Facebook is playing off us, but you're, smart enough to
figure this out that there's an algorithm that gives you what you want and what you like see the button that says like that means, if you're
capital is I'm going to give you more of what you like,
less of what you don't like. That's
capitalism, that's the way. This is working now
If we were all like, you know,.
Well. I was just a normal human beings, but I think the normal human beings are what I thought normal human beings were. If we were
We were at all responsible,
we would do our own homework and not just
the headline and read the first paragraph and then repost it because it it
infirmed our world view yeah. It's it's interesting. A lot of conservatives, I've heard within that are critical of Facebook and and other social media accounts are herbs, suppliers,
platforms for this saying like hey. They need to fix their things so that X, Y Z doesn't happen, but it's
the same argument that the left
top on Hardee's right, like parties, is
providing a two slash three of a pound thick burger
that's one thousand two hundred calories you don't have to buy it
it's exactly the same thing as talk radio we've got to balance talk, radio, we
f to fix, talk radio, we have to make sure that we treat
like morons. No, no
Let the monkey tails fall off all of the morons. That's what we need to do
simply safe home security.
Prepared for anything that gets thrown out of the storm, takes out your power they're, ready an intruder, cut your phone line, they're ready
Somebody comes in and destroys your keypad or your siren, they still
call for help, maybe
overkill, but simply safe, doesn't think so I mean in the worst case scenario, you'll be hoping that they
plan for the worst case scenario, and they have? This is
make simply safe home security. So great, it's always ready and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg in
they only charge you what's fair, twenty four slash, seven professional security monitoring is only

Glenn Beck Mercury?
a friend of mine, Jim Caviezel, is in with
in just a few seconds he's in the green room now getting getting ready to come on in
be joining us? The top of the hour, Jim Caviezel, of course, played Jesus in the passion of the Christ, and I don't think he has
you seen him deliver a piece of of acting. That was just
I mean he is always good and everything is always great in everything he is he's just well. I think one of the best
actors of our day, but because he played Jesus, he's paid a heavy price for it. So
decided to branch out a little bit this time he's now playing Luke.
The apostle of Christ. This
is coming out Paul. The apostle of Christ and Jim Caviezel plays Luke risking his life to visit Paul who's held captive in the roman prison,
and he'll be talking about that and also his life and he's a fascinating guy, really fascinating. I we went to school today,
and he's just such a he's? Just such a good, decent man he's everything you know he's one of those people
let you meet and you're like. I wonder what he's like exactly the way you think he is just really quiet and gentle and peaceful
and kind and is a really nice guy, so we'll catch up with
here in just a few minutes, you don't
The Christ only made six hundred and eleven million dollars with this
but that's it that's it.
One thousand and four uh. Yes, two thousand and four now that should not be.
Fuse with the movie passion release in two thousand thirteen starring ray.
Macadams directed by Brian Depalma, that made ninety two thousand one hundred and eighty one dollars. Ok, a little bit, I guess of the Christ was important, but I guess it. Yes, it was an important part of the not have been at church. Film may have been a church. It yeah, maybe not
but this was I mean you know this is MEL Gibson. This is the first really big film. Since you know probably Cecil B Demille
genre that was really done right and
Look how far this the faith films have come now with the third.
Grossing film this weekend is a faith filled
I can only imagine, and it's really really good. So
Jim Caviezel joins us here in just a few minutes.
Glenn Beck

love courage, truth, Glenn Beck. Well, surprisingly, have Ladimir Putin has been re elected president, you only,
the opponent who pose a threat from running in the election? It also shouldn't surprise you that Putin won by a nearly impossible margin. The
one by seven thousand. Seventy seven,
percent ballot stuffing
force voting on election day stand. Is you know almost like a cartoon of the old KGB in Russia
mysterious circumstances, russian critics of Putin have been poisoned and kidnapped and murdered.
Tortured, hey this one's missing we just saw
week in the UK when russian ex spy and his daughter were poisoned by a soviet era, nerve agent Putin's
election represents the latest in his.
Free of corruption. That can only
past size and darken in Russia Putin doesn't
As he violates freedoms and democracy, he takes he takes and he forces the rule
also don't apply to Vladimir Putin. I don't think I need.
Tell you that he's dangerous. Some people don't think he is,
This is a man without honor, whose word is worthless. As his
his reign, but under
His reign is endless and a man like
this cannot be trusted his blood
continues
it's going to be around now until two thousand and twenty four and then he'll quote before,
to step down, although there's plenty of time
to change the term limit rules. I don't know if you caught
but that's exactly what they did
It's Monday March 19th you're, listening to the Glenn Beck program, Jim Caviezel is in
studio with us, a good
and and and
we grew up kind of together. I mean we went to the same.
Elementary school and you were what two years behind me Jim I was. I was in
read when you were in eighth grade okay, but I saw you first second and third grade, and you remember, I remember you in the wide leg, corduroy pants yep, that was me robert- was it Robert Robert Cohn nine rose crowns. I am
Janaki yeah. Oh my god, an we rode. The bus school bus together- I remember you- I remember
jumping up and down up on Peter Janick, he
I remember
sister Agnes Joseph coming to our class and said she just saw you debate the entire class Michael Rosen.
Told me that that that that boys,
yes- and she was none of the none of those stories are jackie- was pretty honest here, no those devices, but so how are you? Could
Yeah now you're in a new film called Paul apostle of Christ. I haven't seen it yet comes out. When does it come out
23Rd. Ok E.
Last time. I saw you
you had, you were still reeling from me. You know the temp,
temptation of Christ, but the option passion of Christ
and you were. You were still reeling from that and you
I think you are one of the bravest men. I think I've ever met one of the most loyal men to God that I have ever met.
And- and I think the uh wrongfully persecuted for what you've? What you've done the stand
that you have taken. You've been very careful and very true when you, when you
or in school. When we were there together, you made a promise to God. You can you talk about that,
I was given a gift and I I think it's very difficult for God to give certain people guess, because once they get the opportunity they had starts out been you know here, god I'll give you all that
It becomes a you know, nine for you one for me and that eventually becomes nine for me, one for you yeah, so I just said that I will make the kind of films that would you know affect peoples. Lives like
it's a wonderful life. Even I met Jimmy Stewart. I was a waiter for him and I was went, got him a drink,
I was working at a party and they told me I couldn't you know, speak to any of the celebrities, and I saw that kind of thought. Well, I could you know, get fired for talking to him so that the
I might to the Naval Academy I applied three different times and didn't get in Nitish
at West Point, and I told him you know. I know that
so the liberators over Germany and
is shocked that I knew right here. I am
nineteen years old, twenty years old and I knew
much about him and I think that um,
Clooney, told me one time. George said that when they were at rose,
He was with Rosemary his aunt and they
Stewart's house in the on the
he was Academy Award and Stewart said you know I wish I had done more and
Here's a guy that made Ark.
One of the greatest films ever made. I watch it every year to be a full life. I wanted to have that kind of effect on
but it was always God through me. That would make,
films, great! Is it true that you said I want to play you?
No, I said I don't want them to see me. I want them only to see you and that
in the difference and to do that was on the cross. Yes, I felt the love that he had for me
but when I asked him to come closer like that, he said you may not like what you're going to get
and I said as long as they see you. That's all that matters and what I felt was a broken heart because
highlights not loved,
my most of his children, and you know I tell people
I know, God loves you and
If you don't know that, then you know kinda live the life that
makes people feel that, but those that say
They have accepted that you know
get up in the morning and told Gee
So you love it
nice to hear that too.
You are, you would have gotten along with Hollywood a long time ago with the Jimmy Stewart's of
world man think they were more like you right now, not so much, not so much
and yet you are, you are consistently amazing,
in every role I have ever seen. You in you are just tremendous
one of said this before the Hollywood it best.
That it really is the world at best. It
only like you, because love
It does not come from man,
it comes from God, so
best Hollywood, can like you- and I can prove it to you when you go to the academy awards, former winners are on the sideline. People are making over it's over the
current weather in
Look some of the films in the substance it's coming out of them and they're making all over that people.
Give up everything for a red carpet, but the
you have to ask yourself. Is
do you want to be liked by many or loved by one. I have a friend John Irwin from the Erwin brothers and they just made a film uh.
Same of it yeah I can only imagine, came out,
Weekend supposed to make two million dollars, it's faith film. It's really good. It has Dennis Quaid in it
so, let's make two million dollars. It made
Ten million dollars, it's it's holding in one thousand six hundred theaters. It was number three wow this weekend. Yeah. That means the
where per screen average was more than that. The two films prior to
they're ahead of them in it that's over ten thousand dollars a screen, yeah, that's extraordinary
yeah you're, not reading about it anywhere, but now yeah, but it was sent
we were in passion, things have changed, you don't need Hollywood as much as as you did this system. You know the
the truth is out there and
not going to go away and
you know the the regulars yeah. He came up. One of
I don't know which one but anyway John did he did this Steve Mcqueen
documentary. You see that american icon yeah, he handed it to me when I walked out and I went home and I watched it and here
and arguably say that steam account.
It was one of the greats physical actor.
A guy who was at
leave the king of cool. But what was cool about him? He was hot
about something he was an orphan kid.
Julian. I watched this documentary just moved me to tears. Add that even
and he was searching for
to greater and he said there was a recording of him. It is
came out and he said that he wished. He had a touch more people's lives,
from Jesus and Billy Graham was there at the end.
Of his life, and he he was
For his Bible, as he was dying into milligram, gave him his Bible, who he was a great just.
Ste in and without Billy. Graham, we would not have you know had the
the reaction from America. We needed his support.
Gave it to us on the passion of the Christ. What do you think about the the division between our faith? Sometimes you know between you know the Baptist in the Catholics in the Mormons and the Protestants and everything else would he
How do we? How do we solve that income together on bigger issues? Well, it's certainly not going to be a beat over the head. I mean, if God wanted to eat
certainly could beat us over the head. Yeah is a though what
beating us over the head. I think he is starting to beat us over the head. Well, it can eventually can come to that, but right now the
I mean there is a wrath or a justice. That's coming. If we don't essentially ok-
look. I I really feel that the the ideal way would be loved that we would just natural
turn to him that
got that at a young age, but the
we have an opportunity right now,
decide where we want to go as far as you know are all feel
I do believe there is one truth. I will know that
one day in Heaven, if there were many,
a truce? There would not be a truth and they would be much
divisions in Heaven. What
is is probably the right way, but I look at Jesus
he did not beat people over the head with either turn
burn now that is out there, but it's
What I find is that you have the
years ago, that would all it
given to us just just truth and then essentially that would become
brimstone and now it's
call grace you know all
and forgiveness and everything, but then that becomes sentimental hogwash. Our lord is both
truth and grace. Are you happy? Yes,
When I, when I came in here, a little frustrated generally. Yes, because I know that I you know
I have a future it forever?
with Jesus. You know in Heaven, and I tell people that you know.
I do believe in. I do believe it's worth dying for, and I know
I'm going to die someday uh an I
I told people that, because
tell people. Yes, our Lord loves you, but I don't always feel that it's it is hard, but you know
come hell or high water. You do the right thing, no matter what
just try to keep him I want to. I want to talk to you a little bit about that 'cause I was doing. The hard thing is doing. The right thing is really hard and your guy who has actually walk that walk. You
Lee walk that walk. You know
you know Marcus Luttrell that the last event we were at here, Marcus reached out to me, 'cause I put in the
movie the count of Monte Cristo. God will give me justice and then wrote that on the cave wall and then he we became close, and he
I was the last time I was with him. I was with him and Chris Kyle.
And I never saw him again. Obviously that night we went out a great
and they want to just talk about that, but
soldiers that come up to me in the airport- and you know-
special forces. Guys just ask me about Jesus that he said
really believe. In that I mean this
I heard you suffer, I heard you, you know were struck by lightning and
open heart surgery, the tape it that you went through horrible pains.
We believe in that stuff and why
asking me that and then eventually they talk about, you know I've had it.
Somebody's life,
yeah my own hand yeah, and what that's like
is there a place in Heaven for me, you know,
like daring God, it reminds me of Gary Sinise enforce
companies up at the top of that tower. He's alright gods, you and me, and I just love to
identify with Tanya in that
people out there that will will suffer whatever it takes, because they
FILA Brother, and I feel that brotherhood with our lord- and I want to let
know that they are loved a backwards,

Glenn Beck, mercury,
Glenn Beck Jim could result. You might know him from many
Many movies that he has been in most famously obviously played Jesus in passion of the Christ, but also person of interest the people's Choice award and
and now in a new movie, cold Paul apostle of Christ in you play Luke. I do tell me about it. Well, it's the the the film is right at the end of Paul's life like that last two weeks and he's in the member to present
grown this during the one of the biggest terror reigns, Christians which was during narrow, and I basically get into the prison and try to bring his message of hope to the christian communities that are barely alive in that area and, of course, they're crucifying and burning them using them as light fixtures all over
Rome, and I'm trying to give his message of hope, and he really doesn't have the message that they're looking for they don't know what to do
and so really the film when I
I said wow. This is now and
This is just where all playing characters in scripture right now and often,
when they look at the Bible is able to piece of history. It's not the same as if you know if you were to go back, you know we were just talking about Berlin, you know,
Germany and its history
from history, but this is something quite extraordinary when you read scripture, because it's a permit goes
permeates your brain into your heart and a bypass.
It goes into that it's really and we're all playing a different character. You know I got to play Jesus in the passion, but some of us, you know get to play Judas and some players
currencies and summer, her it and let's play
out right now, the Pharisees I mean the real problem. There was the hypocrisy and there's where a lot of us are varices right now as and there are Judas is out there too beautiful, you've you've taken quite a hit. Your whole career outlook gets you through. What do you mean your low points? You know you've had you are a great actor,
and because of what you believe that you're, not uh, you're, not asked to be in all of all of the great films. How do you get through that? I get through it because I was in the greatest film there ever was. You know, look the
I am I almost never
became an actor. I almost never
passion of the Christ. I almost never married my wife Kerry. I almost never adopted my three children, but all three of am. I had to had tumors one at the cancer sarcoma and I thought well, I'm not the kind of guy that
can adopt. You know I'm just not too selfish. That would have been the worst mistake of my life. I had almost done those things. The path of Christ is hard. It is the road less traveled it is, but it is one that is beyond I've ever anything I've ever experienced in. I know it's the way.
For me I know I yeah sure I've added and played the victim, but I realize that- and it's not really going to get it done. Victim, is not a strong, strong position
Jim Caviezel, the name of the movie is Paul apostle of Christ. It is in theaters this Friday, don't miss it,
Glenn Beck
mercury.
This is the Glenn Beck program. Welcome to the program we're glad to hear Jim Caviezel is here and pack raise just join us from the
great radio round up or whatever it's just it's exactly what it is whatever it's already over. That happens after this program pad Jim Caviezel, Jim Pat, gym, we've met
actually before yeah. I know yeah, I know, but I just wanted to make sure that I was being a gracious host here. Yeah, it's nice, it's nice good to see you again
have you been at it Jim? Have you been down to Waco? Have you seen you know chip and Joanna gains? No, I don't do you do you know of them? No, I do
oh you got it, how many other great
tv at all. Are you I
I watch a little bit. You know here and there obviously at just doing a lot of the
I know I know I know, but
I was down a Waco. It went down to this weekend. Silos that that place is amazing, has totally transfer
I mean these. Are these people? Are there so good
and people are flocking from all
we're the country that can completely repositioned Waco Texas, because Waco was what there was branch Davidian. It was wacko Waco and now
the prince transformed it into this desirable place to go to yeah ST. It's really it's it's amazing, because here they are these they're they're people really pretty much like you that just kinda live their principles and
and you know, they're not ashamed of their faith and they
this little show on Hg TV and it's it's turned into this monster
and I don't think people in the I don't think people in New York or LOS Angeles really even understand it
they think. Well, it's a husband and wife. No, no, it's their principles in their values. That really set them apart and they've,
pastor. There was probably one hundred thousand people down there. I bet
It was crazy, always just jam packed and they're, not even there. It's just it's crazy. What they've done, but
There is hoping for a glimpse. You know. Maybe this is the day they'll be running out. No, I
district in the shelves, yeah yeah straightening things up
so Jim is here because he's in a new movie, Paul apostle of Christ in you know Jim I was. I love my love, the story of Paul, but the thing that sticks in my mind in Paul's life. Well as many things, but but when he's on the wrong side, you know what the had the death of James he's he's
mention just hold give me your coat, get, kill him Steven or Stephen yeah. Thank you. He's he's he's. Staff
there and he's
listening to Steve and Ann he's, help riling up the crowd, and he
Do any of the beating himself beating him to death. He just says give me your give me give me give me
look I'll hold it for you, essentially handing probably taking their clothes and handed him stones and have at him yet and just just
it's real evil manipulation. I mean where he was the guy kind of behind the crowd yeah, but I think that when Steven called out
and I see the Son of Man repeating the words of Jesus. I see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Father coming in the clouds of Heaven.
That reflection in his eyes he probably saw our Lord right.
Aaron probably was the beginning of the end of saw how difficult would it be for you if you knew that Saul was coming your way and- and you were told that you know Jim, I need you to go. Give him a blessing, real, quick. How difficult would that be? For you
I think that would have been terrifying. Well, of course, but you know I look at the what just
the some of the videos and pictures that I saw from what I suggested
since last year, during good Friday, where they literally executed them by crucifixion, and I I think
on day. Christians really have to understand that you know
we're going to die someday and you know being in Heaven. I want.
I'd rather be known as someone who did something for Jesus and spending eternity without doing much for him. If you spend time in the Middle EAST recently, yes,
I did shoot a movie out there, the stoning of Soraya M, and that
exposed to the Sharia LAW and the arm and it it just extraordinary what would happens to women and their yeah and
I played a guy named Fred them. Saranjam, who was a guy, was just
there write a story about the toilet takeover of the shah. There was a peaceful movement and whatnot, and out of this comes this woman's story of being stoned to death and
stoning still take place, so is a a I. I don't feel we had a lot of help from a many of the groups here. You know many of the women groups that went there to to help. Then I will tell you that it's it's been
encouraging to us we've raised- probably thirty million dollars now to get some of these Christians out. We've taken, seven thousand out of the Middle EAST
were rescuing, that's great slaves and and and it's remarkable that there is a there while it's not talked about there. Is this this I don't know underground. Would you call it
at this kind of this is something that is not on the surface and nobody's talking about, but there is real concern for that and re
The people really helping good right,
a lot of people are helping, but they're doing it in the in the in quiet ways are working in it. Like you say they are ground, yeah the the Christians are,
like anything. I've ever met Calvary, christian Syrians, extraordinary me there.
They are. They are. They are not
anything. I've ever met their committed yeah, you know they have to be and they are
They, you know, I read a quote this weekend, I'd written down a long time ago. I forgot all about it. They tend church, not attend. Church
You know there are tending everyday there. There
there. They know what it is. It's not just a place. They go to every Sunday, yeah.
And they take it seriously because it doesn't come easy for him like it does us. You know when you have to
For something and and put,
life on the line for something I think that change
inside a little bit,
makes you more make sure more.
And then they definitely are yeah and we get so fat and lazy over here on everything that we don't know yet
it has no value, has no value so great
find in the film where Paul says to live is Christ to die, is gain and no
I'm sure many of those chaldean, syrian Christians and cop takes, I believe, the same way yeah so true on another topic that that there's a passion,
of the Christ sequel coming yes and you're signed on for that, yes, yeah wow as Jesus. Yes,
How will it have to be right? Well, I don't know. Well I mean it's it's the next now I bet on so I mean you.
So you don't really look that different.
Workout and all that crap all the time. Yeah yeah. You know over report fortune
well. I have to because there's so much of the work that you do is involve stunt. So if you don't.
Keep that up here and actually on that I mean on that one. You mean
When was pretty, you know
I was pretty serious yeah struck by lightning
my shot of the movie very light shine. What what
Through your, I mean besides juice, what went through your hi? I was just. I was scared, you know just, but it wasn't my time enough. It was
I had physical problems, you know with the lexical heart and everything like that after that, and I was on a lot of medications. So in two thousand nine I had my first are surgery and then two thousand fourteen. How was my was open heart, a Cleveland clinic and they saved my life. It was because of that it was in the m. A was a was a combination of the of lightning bolt and then than the the hypothermia.
And then the the new Monia thought about suing MEL, I mean just he's worth few bucks now you might want to think about that he's a really nice guy. I hate he's he's you know, I don't know him at all, but in meeting him he's really quite brilliant yeah, oh yeah he's a freak show,
yeah I you know going about it like Michael Jordan.
Jordan of my business of what he can do. You know he has the extraordinary with him, because you know I mean you see him in hamlet. It can do hamlet, you can do is range yeah, his humor yeah
but just you know, in looking at lethal weapon and when that Steve MAC, a video produced the passion just with a weapon with melon. You know it. The opening of the movie takes a families can put in his mouth and and the use,
the bullet and going to commit suicide, and just how we layers takes the
in just peels away and later on, he's
on top of the building this guy is going to commit suicide he's he spoke.
Cigarette up on the building site come on man. It's not good to commit suicide. It's really bad for your health. You know, and and you're laughing your head off 'cause. You know this guy, just writing. Take it
just set it up king and he gets you focused over Here- is smoking a cigarette who you want to drag and then it and then he threw
another ball up in the air and then, while you're looking over here, he's sliding and he puts the cuffs on the guys wrist and then he's like you. Jerk, I'm going to jump because do you really want to do it? Do it
I want to do it, and so you know the movies over jumps off and then course they don't show it, but then they jump on that. Big old bag
this guy's nuts you mail goes that's it unless it would again, but that that that's just I mean that's flat out straight up. Gibson is when you go into production with us.
I heard when I was speaking to him last time. He says I'd like to be gone and he gave me
certain date by that particular time going to give it to us. I said: that's fine, I'm not looking for a scoop, but no he. He just said he would like to be going at this particular time.
See. This is the one two 3s on the fourth draft of the script is,
there? May I started talking about this five years ago. Nothing was mentioned then. Last year
both Randall Wallace, who wrote, is been writing the script they wrote Braveheart to get in and
just to show you how hard it is that blueprint is everything and then now he's on the fourth draft of this thing, so he
only broke it. That's why I never said anything about it, but he finally figured it out. It's kind of like Thomas Edison is to the end,
through the alphabet. So, by way of analogy he starts at a it gets dizzy, and then he goes. Oh, my gosh. I figured it out
but now I have to go back to the start over again, but he's figured it finally figured it out gyms good to see you. Thank you so much
The movie opens up this Friday. It is Paul apostle of Christ, starring Jim,

Alright another another twist.
Identity, tax fraud, thieves or hacking online accounts at tax preparation firms that good
file. Phony refunds from you know the tax preparation firm, except it's really from there
once the IRS deposits money into the hack clients bank accounts, the crooks contact them posing as collection agencies claiming the refund was an error in demanding payment, unfortunately,
people are falling for it,
are so many threats in today's.
Connected world that you really need. All it takes is one small breach and it's over so the new life lock is here.
Now the new life lock identity, theft protection adds power of Norton Security to help you protect against threats to your identity and do your vices and the
two things that you're not easily going to be able to see or fix, but they can. If you have a problem, they have agents who work to fix it. Now nobody can stop,
cyber threats, prevent identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but Lifelock now with Norton Security is able to uncover.

Glenn Beck. Mercury Glenn Beck
under the program
let's play a little
Let's play a little Ben Shapiro on how the media has covered the gun debate. Where
see the most egregious media bias right now
the last three weeks. Obviously, the coverage of the gun debate has been absolute
egregious mean. I want to single out your network with CNN's, been pretty bad on this from the idea
that when there's a a mass shooting that the media at the field, the necessity to put on tv, I not only survivors but specific survivors that there's a certain subset of survivors make it on tv a lot a lot and there's another survivors who don't I and that these
to single out certain events and not other events in order to make a pretty
our case or they allow certain people to go on tv and suggest that folks, like Daniel,
people of the NRA are evil, don't care, they're terrorists and there's no pushback from the anchors. This sort of thing makes
the people on the right feel that the media are are really using this as an opportunity to push gun control rather than objectively covering
the legislative efforts that are going on in Washington DC, so your view is, there should be five thousand and fifty, even if most of the students are urging gun control.
Do you want to be five thousand and fifty or no, I think, adding eight thousand and twenty would be fine. I think that anything, but ninety five point five would probably be a good thing, and I think that it's also pretty obvious that listen everybody.
Is my opinion about journalism? Everybody in journalism has no political views. We all vote, obviously, or at least most of us do and it's it's not a pleasant thing. When people in the media
and their political views are not influencing their coverage when it's so obvious that those political views clearly are influencing their coverage.
Ben Shapiro, and I love I love
you think it should be fifty and fifty will and that what you wanted for talk, radio seriously wasn't
that was the legal requirement for legal requirement that everybody thought we should bring back the fairness doctrine, and I don't want to
Ernest Doctrine, but to look at
Shapiro, who was not asking for the fairness doctrine to like? Is that that's a great?
Easy. No, that's that's what you
how to do to talk, radio will eat
are you don't like it for yourself-
and Ben is right only
It is just if you go,
opinion say that to you are in here's an opinion? We've we
this way. I don't
problem with MSNBC? They don't hide Glenn Beck
