Glenn Beck

Are We in the Middle of World War III?; History of the Middle East is One of Conflict; Author Points to Racial Prejudice in Professional Sports

Aired July 14, 2006 - 19:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

ANNOUNCER: Tonight`s episode of GLENN BECK is brought to you by Crap Your Pants Underwear. You`ll always be prepared for today`s news with Crap...
ANNOUNCER: We interrupt this broadcast to bring you this breaking news special report, "World War III: This Time, It`s Personal."

GLENN BECK, HOST: Hey, everybody. Hurry up; we`ve got World War III to fight. Yes, it is the end of days. Isn`t it?

You know, the only problem is I`m not sure everybody realizes it yet. You know, I want to give you an end of the world update here. You know, look, it`s World War III, but I`m telling you, I think Jesus could come out of the sky at any time. He could be making a glorious appearance, you know, in the next 15 minutes. And if he does, may I make this appeal?

Jesus, if you happen to be watching right now -- I know you are -- please, it`s a friendly place. I`ll only throw you softball questions. You can plug whatever you want. Make your first and possibly last appearance right here.

Now the serious end of the world update. Here it is, World War III. Why do I think we`re in it? Reports out of India state that at least 200 innocent people were killed in the Mumbai train attacks yesterday. Nobody`s claimed responsibility yet, but listen to this, the prime minister is blaming it on terrorists. Gee, do you think so?

Over in Baghdad, at least 50 people died in more than a dozen shootings, bombings and ambushes yesterday, including an attack right outside the Green Zone, home of the U.S. embassy.

And, let`s not forget North Korea, where talks trying to prevent Kim Jong-Il`s nuclear program have stalled. So as you see, we`re kind of cruising along pretty nicely -- aren`t we? -- on that freeway to vaporization.

Here`s what I do know about World War II and the impending apocalypse. One, we can`t coexist with people who want to blow up trains and subways and bring down buildings. If somebody has a death wish, not really the best negotiating partner.

I also know that, whether you like it or not, this is a religious war. Radical Muslims want to wipe everybody else off the face of the earth. And let me tell you something. Hollywood, clean your ears out and listen up. You are the first in line for the gas chambers if they ever win. You`re the one who are producing a lot of the trash that`s spilling out into their cave that`s hacking them off.

Also, I know that people don`t want to believe the worse. That`s why more people aren`t on the bandwagon. People are in denial. They don`t want to think that we`re facing something horrible. They want it to go away so we can all get back to our lives.

But listen to me: it is bad. And it`s not just us. It`s the whole western way of life that is in trouble. That`s why we need to get on that World War III bandwagon.

Now, here`s what I don`t know. I don`t know if there are enough world leaders out there that actually have a spine anymore. Where are the real leaders? Not a lot of people are leading. That`s not a real good place to be. Where`s Churchill? Where`s -- where`s FDR?

I know we have -- I know we have George Bush. He`s doing it by himself. Tony Blair is doing good, too, but is that enough?

I also don`t know what it`s going to take to get people to wake up. My gosh. We were wide awake after 9/11. We`ve all gone back to sleep. We almost lost World War II because of apathy and denial. Please, let`s not let it happen again.

Bob Baer, he spent over 20 years with the CIA. He`s an intelligence expert. He`s the guy that was played by George Clooney in "Syriana".

Hello, Bob.

BOB BAER, AUTHOR, "BLOW THE HOUSE DOWN": Hey, Glenn, how`s it going?

BECK: Bob, would you agree with me that World War III -- that we`re here?

BAER: We`ve already -- we`ve already started it.

BECK: Yes, well, I think we`re in 1938, World War II. It hasn`t really hit yet where people are like, "Oh I get it; we`ve got to fight." Would you agree?

BAER: This is like Hitler taking over Czechoslovakia. That`s the stage we`re at right now.

BECK: Right, right. OK. Do you believe -- say yes -- do you believe it can be avoided?

BAER: No, we`re going into a war. We have to brace ourself. It`s coming.

BECK: OK, just a second. Ellie, I really think the only thing left here is show me the picture of the banana fish? Yes.

OK, Bob. There`s no way to avoid it?

BAER: No, you look at Lebanon today. This is an endless conflict that`s going to draw in Syria and Iran. It`s inevitable.

BECK: Right. Here`s the thing. Here`s the thing that I think people don`t really understand. If you go -- and she`ll bring the map of World War II -- I`m sorry, World War III. The theaters of war.

This is a map of the entire world of every place that has been hit since 9/11 by terrorist activity. You can see there in red. And unfortunately, too many people will look at this -- for instance, Al Gore would look at this map and say, "Oh, yes, I see that`s what happening here. The ice is starting to melt in Greenland." I mean, they just don`t get it, do they?

BAER: No, it is coming. You know, and it`s not even the places we`re seeing today. Look at Saudi Arabia, will go down once Iraq spins out of complete control.

BECK: Are they -- are they friend or foe?

BAER: They`re neither. They`re sitting on top of a volcano trying to protect themselves. They`re sending their jihadists to Iraq.

BECK: I`ve got only a minute here. Can you bring up the -- let`s go friend, foe or ally. France. Friend, foe, or ally? I say they`re foe.

BAER: Ally, sort of.

BECK: Oh, come on?

BAER: No, they`re scared. They`re scared.

BECK: England. You know what? England is a friend and an ally, wouldn`t you say?

BAER: Absolutely. Friend and ally.

BECK: Russia? Friend or ally or foe?

BAER: Foe.

BECK: I agree with you. India? Just an ally?

BAER: An ally of sorts.

BECK: Yes, I think so, too. Saudi Arabia?

BAER: Saudi Arabia is a foe.

BECK: I agree with you. China? Foe.

BAER: Foe, absolutely. They`re arming these guys.

BECK: Belgium? Clearly foe.

BAER: Foe.

BECK: I mean, they`re putting something addictive in their waffles, I believe.

Turkey?

BAER: Turkey`s a foe.

BECK: I agree with you. I mean, this is scary stuff. And what happened with Hezbollah? Seven Iraqis soldiers are killed, two taken hostage. And Israel is calling this an act of war. The response, they say, going to be very painful. What are we talking about?

BAER: We`re talking about return of the civil war in Lebanon. No question.

BECK: Is this -- do we see -- what was the guy that was killed right before World War I, Ferdinand? Remember, he was the guy that was killed. It was the straw that broke the camel`s back? What is that straw? Has it happened yet or is it you see it yet on the horizon?

BAER: There are a couple things that could happen. One is the Israelis could hit Damascus, take down the Syrian regime. And then you`d see an arc of total chaos from Iraq to Lebanon. You could see the fall of Mubarak in Egypt or Abdullah in Jordan. All of those things would kick off this global conflict.

BECK: Bob, thank you so much for being on the program.

You know, the Middle East has always been on fire, and most of us, I mean, until September 11, we didn`t really pay attention to it at all. Because it`s boring. But that`s why we made it into a cartoon. We present now, as a public service, the history of the Middle East.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANNOUNCER: And now the history of the Middle East in a couple of minutes. Chapter one.

BECK (voice-over): Around the turn of the century the Jews decided we need a homeland. What I`m looking for is a nice MLT, mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, maybe. I don`t know. A homeland.

So they all started to begin gathering. The Zionists are coming to reclaim the homeland.

Palestinians, who aren`t really called Palestinians. They`re Syrians. They`re kind of wandering around, tending their flocks, walking around basically in the desert. Find themselves with a bunch of Jews there in the desert with them.

Would you like a nice MLT?

Meanwhile, back in Britain they`re starting to ask themselves, "Queenie baby, what do we do? All these Jews are here, and they`re going to be starting picking fights now with the Arabs, and the Arabs aren`t going to like it."

"I don`t know. Can`t we just split the land?"

Arabs don`t like the idea. "Wait a minute. Who are all these people coming in, trying to take all of our land?"

"We`re the Jews. And let me tell you something. You know what this place really needs, is a nice Jewish deli. Want some lox?"

Now, comes the U.N. The United Nations decides, "You know what? We`re going to split it all up. We`re going to give half of it to, quote unquote, `Palestine,` which is actually Syria, and the other part to the new Jewish homeland. That way everybody`s happy. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."

Right.

On May 14, 1948, the Zionists declare their own state along with the United Nations. The next day the Palestinians, aided by the armies of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq -- got to love them - - launched a war to prevent Jewish independence and to secure control of all of the land.

Unfortunately, in that war the Zionists not only managed to pull all the areas assigned to them by the United Nations but seize part of the land designated for the Palestinian state, as well. In other words, they kicked ass.

Here`s the thing everybody always leaves out of the history books. The other areas designated for the Palestinians by the United Nations were taken, not by the Israelis, but by Jordan and Egypt. Jordan annexed the West Bank, while Egypt said, "Hey, Gaza district, you`re ours. You`re ours."

But don`t worry, in the next episode we`re going to find out that neither Arab state allowed the Palestinians to form their own independent government in either of these areas. Ha, ha, ha. Those wacky Arabs. Ha, ha, ha.

ANNOUNCER: This has been the history of the Middle East in a couple of minutes on the GLENN BECK program.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: I don`t know jack. I am so willing to fold on so many things. If someone would bring up a -- I`ve done my homework. I know what I believe. But I am not so egotistical that somebody couldn`t bring an argument to me that was reasonable and say, "Hey, Glenn, no, it`s this way." It would cause me to ponder and reflect. And I would do more homework. And I would be man enough to admit, boy, did I have that one wrong. Aren`t most people like that? I`m not a freak.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: All right, so last night was Major League Baseball`s all-star game. And I, like a million Americans -- you know, I watched something else. I watched my show and then I watched a really good E! true Hollywood story about the cast of "Seventh Heaven." No.

Actually, let me just sit and say this. I`m not a sports fan at all. Glenn Beck is so to sports what Glenn Close is to sports.

So it seems to me, because I lived in Philadelphia for a while with whacked out athletes. They`re whiney, juiced-up, pampered gazillionaires. However, one word that I really don`t associate with, with modern professional athletes, the word slave. Yes, slave.

Bill Rhoden, he`s the author of "Forty Million Dollar Slaves: Rise and Fall and Redemption of the Black Athlete".

Please tell me, sir, because I have only had a chance to read a chapter of your book, about Michael Jordan. Please tell me for the love of Pete that you don`t actually believe that these are forty million dollar slaves.

BILL RHODEN, AUTHOR, "FORTY MILLION DOLLAR SLAVES": Well, some are $80 million.

But you know, the title of the book actually comes -- it comes from a comment that a white fan said to Larry Johnson. Larry Johnson is the guy who used to play for the New York Knicks. And at the beginning of the 2000 season, the Knicks were out in Los Angeles.

And during a timeout, as the team went over, this white guy stood behind the bench and said, "Johnson, you`re nothing but a $40 million slave." And we have that in the book.

And it comes from something Johnson said the previous year when he had boycotted the media, wouldn`t talk. And finally, when the NBA -- said you`ve got to talk. He said, "You want me to talk, I`ll talk." He said, "You know, my teammates, these guys out here, we`re rebellious slaves. We`re rebel slaves." And he went out of course the next day.

You probably, if you were -- you would have killed them -- and the idea is this, Glenn, is that the idea is where I trace -- I trace the black athlete for the plantation. When the plantation, they are slaves who are actually athletes who were boxers. Runners, racers, and they were all slaves.

And what I`m saying is that the relationship between black athletes on those plantations and black athletes today, has not really fundamentally changed. And that`s where, I think, where we begin the book. Is that that mentality, that relationship of power has not changed. They`ve increased in numbers. They`re making, as you said, gazillions of dollars.

But yet, they really don`t have any ownership in this industry they helped create. And that`s -- that`s the beginning. The slave is a metaphor. But it`s real.

BECK: Things have fundamentally changed.

RHODEN: Changed. So you`re right. Changed.

BECK: That`s weird, yes. I remember -- you know, the slave thing, I wasn`t there. But I seem to remember chains and whips and working. I don`t remember $40 million a year. If that`s true, put me on the freaking plantation, man. Put me on the plantation.

RHODEN: Well, you don`t want to be on that plantation. But this is an interesting thing...

BECK: Excuse me? I`ll be on that -- no, seriously. If God gives me the talent that I can throw the football like that and I can make $40 million, put me on -- I`m begging you. Lord in heaven, put me on that plantation right now, I mean it.

RHODEN: Can you sing?

BECK: But let me tell you something, I am so offended. And you should be offended as a black man that you are taking the history of something as evil and as diabolical as slavery and making a buck off of it for a book. I mean come on, man.

RHODEN: Well, here`s the thing. Slavery -- slavery was always mostly a state of mind. And there were athletes...

BECK: It still is a state of mind.

RHODEN: Exactly, exactly. But then there were shackles. Today there are no shackles. And this is where I get into the book.

BECK: But who is enslaving? Who is enslaving? It is the -- it is the athletes that are enslaving themselves. And you know what many of the athletes are enslaving themselves to?

RHODEN: What?

BECK: The freaking ghetto, man. It doesn`t matter how much money you make. You still bring the drugs and the corruption and everything else. You have an opportunity to escape. And they don`t.

RHODEN: Absolutely. Oh, no, absolutely. See, everything you said, absolutely, just talks about the emotional shackling of the mind.

Here you are as a group of athletes, making collectively probably billions of dollars. And you still think that, you know, the white people should still make the money. You have the white agents, white doctors, white real estate people. All the people around you are white.

When you have an opportunity, as you said, to create a whole new model -- I`m really agreeing with you. In that we`ve got an opportunity collectively now, as opposed to 1940 when there was a very minute presence. The `50s. Now you`ve got athletes collectively making billions of dollars. They are part of a global billion-dollar industry.

BECK: Wait a minute.

RHODEN: And they should be doing something collectively to create a new model. And breaking the shackles.

BECK: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You again are separating us by race. I am so offended.

RHODEN: I`m not doing it.

BECK: Yes, you are. You`re saying -- you are -- I read the chapter, sir, on Michael Jordan. You are absolutely. The guy is colorless.

RHODEN: Glenn...

BECK: Michael Jordan is not black; he`s not white. He is just an amazing...

RHODEN: The man is an African American. You say like...

BECK: It doesn`t matter. Did you listen to Martin Luther King`s speech?

RHODEN: He didn`t say anything about...

BECK: "I dream of a time when people don`t judge me by the color of my skin but the content of my character."

RHODEN: But he did not say color blind. There`s no such thing as color blind.

BECK: There can be. There can be. Why do you -- why do you, sir -- why do you insist that Michael Jordan should -- you say that he`s a slave. You, sir...

RHODEN: I didn`t say that he was a slave.

BECK: You, sir, are the plantation owner. Because you want to enslave him to the black cause.

RHODEN: You know what?

BECK: If he wants to be something on the black cause, that`s great. But he doesn`t have to because he`s black. I don`t have to do anything for whites or conservatives. If I decide to, great.

RHODEN: All you`ve got to walk into the "New York Times" studio, the CNN studio. You don`t have to do anything for white people, because it`s all being done. You see what I`m saying?

Michael Jordan has an opportunity, when he was at the epicenter of power. And by the way, by the way, Dr. King didn`t say -- please don`t insult Dr. King. Dr. King did not say...

BECK: I would say the exact same thing back to you, sir. Please don`t insult Martin Luther King.

RHODEN: You just insulted -- no, you just insulted Dr. King.

BECK: Really?

RHODEN: By twisting around his words. Did you -- if you listen to the speech...

BECK: Yes, I`ll listen to it again.

RHODEN: He didn`t say anything about color blind society. If you woke up tomorrow, Glenn...

BECK: Judge me on my character not the -- not the color of my skin.

RHODEN: That doesn`t have anything to do about a color blind society.

BECK: OK. Well, you and I disagree, sir. Best of luck to you on your book. What is the name of it again? "Forty Million Dollar Slaves". Interesting theory. Thanks for your time.

RHODEN: Thank you.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BECK: In case you don`t know who I am, my name is Glenn Beck. I`m the third most listened to radio talk show host in America, which really says something about America`s taste, doesn`t it?

And we have been talking the last couple of days about something called SPP. We brought it to you last night on the show.

One of the guys who`s on one of my affiliates, 950 KPRC, he`s my best friend. He does mornings on KPRC. His name is Pat Gray. And he has been following this from the get-go.

Pat, SPP, bring us up to speed on what it is.

PAT GRAY, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: It`s the Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement that was entered into by President Bush, Vicente FOX and at that time Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in March of 2005 in Crawford, Texas. And it was an agreement that was signed by those three guys, not ratified by Congress, not voted on by the people, but it`s going forward anyway.

BECK: OK. I had a guy on last night. And he was, I think, from the Heritage Foundation. And he said, "Well, I mean, I think it`s just a lot of rhetoric, but the framework is there, in case you ever wanted to do something." Well, that brings us to the port in Kansas City.

Tell me a little bit before we get to the port, about the highway leading to the port.

GRAY: Well, there`s a NAFTA superhighway being built. It`s four football fields wide. It`s this huge freeway that stretches all the way from Mexico to Canada. And the first leg of that begins in Texas next year. It`s called the Trans-Texas corridor. And I know that that can only be...

BECK: It`s 400 yards wide. How many lanes is that?

GRAY: Four hundred yards wide. I don`t know. But a lot. A lot.

BECK: That`s insane.

GRAY: And it`s got sensors so that trucks don`t have to stop on the way. But I`m sure that has nothing to do with it. It`s not about a North American union or free trade. It`s about all of the travel between Mexico City and Toronto that Americans enjoy every year.

BECK: Yes.

GRAY: Almost like a pilgrimage for me, I know you and I.

BECK: You actually, you canceled your pilgrimage.

GRAY: Just so I could be on your show.

BECK: Yes, that was big of you.

GRAY: Right. So when you put all of these components together, you put the Kansas City smart port together with the NAFTA superhighway.

BECK: And the smart port is what, Pat?

GRAY: The smart port is -- now initially that was being discussed as the first place that the trade, the trucks from Mexico would stop.

BECK: Right.

GRAY: They would avoid the ports in Long Beach and Los Angeles and go all the way to Kansas City before they`d even be inspected.

BECK: That sounds safe.

GRAY: And it was originally -- when the story first broke, it was talked about as if it were a Mexican port being built for Mexico by Kansas City taxpayers.

BECK: Mexican -- Mexican officials will be there. That`s what I understand. Now the guy who is the head of the smart port is going to join me on the radio show tomorrow. I`d love to have you on the radio show, as well, to talk to him.

GRAY: I`d love to.

BECK: Because you`re really, really up on this. But I understand he`ll be with us tomorrow to talk a little bit about this.

You know, Pat, I feel like -- we`ve only got 30 seconds. I feel like a freak, because I mean, you know, I`m not a John Bircher. I`ve never -- you`ve known me for years. I`ve never been down on this paranoia express on, you know, they`re coming to take our sovereignty. I really think we`re this close to letting that slip through our fingers.

GRAY: Well, when you start to put all the pieces of the puzzle together, you start to get the bigger picture. And I don`t know what any other conclusion you can draw.

BECK: Right. Well, that we`re nuts.

GRAY: Well, there is that.

BECK: That could be. That could be. All right. Pat Gray from KPRC in Houston. Thanks.

GRAY: Thanks, bud.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: The guy down in Florida, grown man who`s living next door to Jessica Lunsford. He kidnaps her. Molests her -- I`m sorry, "allegedly" kidnaps her, molests her, murders her, buries her alive.

You know, this thing going to trial, it could be tempting to say, "What was that? You have rights? Oh, I`m sorry, I didn`t hear you. Yes, right. Yes, America did away with those last year. Bummer. Hey, but the good news is, you`re lucky enough to be the recipient of death by red ants. And that`s going to be pretty painful for you."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BECK: We have an update tonight on one of the saddest stories I think we`ve ever covered on this show. It involves an innocent little girl and a convicted sex offender charged with raping and murdering her, whose confession was thrown out of court, a crime that was so vile, so outrageous that the state of Florida enacted a law requiring sentences of 25 years to life for people convicted of crimes just like this.

Earlier this week, we reported that jury selection had finally begun in a trial of John Couey. It lasted a total of three days. Yesterday, the judge in the case stopped the trial, ruling that the court would be unable to seat an impartial jury in the county where the killing took place.

As I said on Monday, this is one of the most horrific crimes you have ever heard.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BECK: It was March 19, 2005. Body of a little 9-year-old girl, Jessica Lunsford, in Florida was found in a makeshift shallow grave. It was one foot. It was in the backyard of a trailer. She had been raped. She had been starved for three days, suffocated, tied up with speaker wire. As she was buried alive. She had in her hands a little stuffed dolphin that was her favorite toy.

She was 150 feet from her own bedroom window, where she had been taken out in the middle of the night just days earlier by this monster.

Now, the guy who originally admitted he was the monster, he stands accused of being the monster -- his name is John Couey -- he sat today in a Florida courtroom as the jury selection began in his trial.

I`ve got to tell you, I am really not into cruel and unusual punishment, but in cases like this, none of the three strikes and you`re out crap happens. It`s one strike, and the punishment should fit the crime. And I don`t want to hear any of the, "Oh, we should listen to his childhood. He needs to be reformed and rehabilitated." Shut up!

You know what? If you`re one of those people, you think that child rapists can be reformed, great, let them live on your frickin` block, let them walk with your kids to school. My kid`s not going to be a subject to some social experiment.

Now, here`s what I do know about cases like these. Child killers, I don`t think you get a second chance. No, in fact, I know you don`t get a second chance. This isn`t like stealing a Three Musketeers at a Circle K; you`ve raped a child.

Two, I`ve never seen anyone with any credibility actually say that these people can be reformed. You know, you don`t see a lot of convicted child rapists run Fortune 500 companies.

And I definitely know that our judicial system needs to be reformed. Why are these guys walking among us?

Now, when you look at these stories, there`s one thing I can`t figure out, the one thing I don`t know. I don`t know how the judges who have given light sentences to people who harm kids can look into the eyes of their own kids. You know, how do they do it? How do they let their kids go to school without them?

Lisa Bloom, Court TV anchor and attorney, how do the judges do it, Lisa?

LISA BLOOM, COURT TV ANCHOR: Well, it`s tough. Look, I agree with you 100 percent, and this horrible killing -- and by the way, when she was buried in that trash bag and they found her after she died, they found holes in the trash bag that lined up with her first and second fingers. She`d been trying to poke holes to get out, because he buried her alive.

OK. So I don`t know how the judge back in 1991 on his prior sexual abuse case, where he masturbated in front of a 5-year-old girl, gave him only three years, knowing what you and I know, Glenn, which is they`re going to do it over and over again.

BECK: Didn`t he say he couldn`t be reformed at that time? Didn`t -- in 1991 when he was originally convicted with the 5-year-old, didn`t he say, "I need to be in jail"?

BLOOM: Well, I think you`re right, and this time around he said, "I deserve to die," and that`s probably the only thing that John Couey and I agree on, is that he deserves to die. Of course, that confession has been ruled inadmissible by the judge. The jury`s not going to hear that.

BECK: I`ve got to tell you, these -- whoever they were, these investigators. The reason why -- well, you better explain it. You`re the attorney. Tell me -- tell me what happened, why this guy`s not dead already?

BLOOM: Well, I`ll tell you what happened. She was missing for three weeks. The country was going crazy. Her family was desperate to know, of course, where their little 9-year-old daughter was.

The cops felt that they had this guy. They felt that it was probably him because he was a convicted sex offender, he lived across the street from her, and he had fled. But they didn`t have any hard evidence.

They get him into custody. They asked him questions: "Where is Jessica?" They feel after hours of questioning that he`s starting to turn. He does ask for a lawyer. OK. At that point they are supposed to stop asking him questions, but they don`t.

And I think on this, to be fair to the investigators, they thought perhaps she was still alive. They don`t torture the guy. They don`t beat him. They don`t put nails under his fingernails.

But they do keep asking the question, "Where is Jessica?" Ultimately, he says, "She`s buried in a grave under the steps of my sister`s trailer" where this guy had been living, across the street from Jessica. The cops make a phone call and the detectives go and they find her body.

Now, all of the confession that came after he said about seven times, "I want to talk to a lawyer," that`s inadmissible under our Constitution, fine. But I don`t fault the prosecutors, the investigators in this case, for continuing to ask the questions, because they thought they might be saving a 9-year-old girl`s life.

BECK: They`re not going to be able to use the quote from him, "She was still alive. I buried her alive, and she suffered."

BLOOM: No, but any are going to be able to use two other quotes that he made to corrections officials when he was behind bars: "I didn`t mean to kill her."

They`re also going to have a substantial amount of Jessica`s blood that was found on the mattress in his room. And I wonder if there`s any forensic evidence in the closet where he says he kept her alive for three days. And he did that, and she was in there. There`s got to be some hair, fiber, blood, something in there.

BECK: He actually claimed that he was good to her, that he treated her well.

BLOOM: That`s sick.

BECK: There was nothing in her stomach. She had been starved for three days. She had been repeatedly raped, then bound and gagged and -- I mean, horrible.

BLOOM: And she has -- I mean, she has vaginal abrasions consistent with being raped. There`s no way that she was treated well. He also said that she was very compliant. She never screamed. She had opportunities to leave. He let her look through the window at the police who were searching for her, and she didn`t try to escape.

I mean, obviously, this is part of his sick fantasy. There`s not a human being on earth that`s going to be tortured like that and not complain.

BECK: Do you know anybody that has ever made a real cogent case for rehabilitation for these guys?

BLOOM: No, I don`t. I used to practice child sexual abuse law. I don`t think it can happen. And until there is a cure, until there`s some real chance of reformation, the only solution is to keep them behind bars. This case led to a change in the law and now he`s got to be locked up for life.

BECK: All right. Lisa, thanks a lot.

Actually, Lisa says the only real solution is to keep them locked behind bars. Actually, if you`re a fan of the radio show, you know that my executive producer, Stu, has his own theory. It`s not really a happy theory, and when he first presented it I went, "Oh, this isn`t real good." But when you see somebody like Couey, you think I don`t know, maybe we should give it a whirl.

BECK: Here`s something you`ll only see on my video podcast: the "Glenn Beck Dead by 47 Diet." Download it from iTunes or at CNN.com/podcasts.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BECK: You know, I don`t watch rated-R movies, and they took the -- what was it -- CleanFlicks, and the Supreme Court said you can`t do it. You can`t change rated-R movies. It is not your property.

And there are a lot of people -- we`re trying to get a guest on that will talk a little bit about that and tell us why exactly, Hollywood, you will edit the movies for airplanes but you won`t sell them, yet you`ll add more footage to make it NC-17 and you have no problem selling that. It`s an artist thing that I just don`t understand.

We have Christy Lemire here. She`s going to talk a little bit about movies this weekend. What, Christy, is going to be the one that knocks out "Pirates of the Caribbean" this weekend?

CHRISTY LEMIRE, MOVIE CRITIC, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Nothing.

BECK: I didn`t think so.

LEMIRE: You could shoot a movie of yourself hanging out in your backyard and it would be better than both movies coming out this weekend.

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: Wow.

LEMIRE: Yes, it`s bad. You have "You, Me, and Dupree," which is Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon. They play newlyweds. And Owen Wilson is their clingy buddy, the best man at the wedding, who has like no job and no home.

And everyone has a friend like this, who`s kind of clingy and like says the wrong thing, doesn`t know when to call it a night, but Owen Wilson`s character is so over-the-top. Like, he`s impossible. He`s totally unrealistic, even for comedy.

I mean, he burns down their house. He reenacts the butter scene in "Last Tango in Paris," which, yes, you`re not going to get on your clean play. And it`s just over the top. So you`ve got that.

BECK: You know, I really like Owen Wilson. I think he`s really -- I think he`s funny. For the life of me, I can`t think of a movie that I thought he was good in, but I...

LEMIRE: "Wedding Crashers"?

BECK: I didn`t see it, rated R.

LEMIRE: Oh, yes. That`s true. Did you see "Shanghai Noon" or "Shanghai Nights"?

BECK: I saw one of those, and that`s one that came to mind that I thought wasn`t all that good. Why do I have this impression that he`s funny and good?

LEMIRE: No, he is funny and he`s good, but he`s the same guy in everything, sort of this unflappable slacker. And he can do other things. He was in an excellent film in 1999 called "The Minus Man," where he played a serial killer, and he was chilling. And it`s totally unlike the surfer dude, stoner dude that we`ve come to know, so he can do more, and I wish he would.

BECK: Do you have a star rating yet?

LEMIRE: I would give it 1 1/2 stars, but we also have a very special new system in place for you called Glenn Heads. So we`re going to give it 1 1/2 Glenn Heads. How`s that? Is it working for you? I worked really hard on this. Big old Glenn Heads.

BECK: It`s really not. Yes, thank you very much. All right, "Little Man" is also coming out.

LEMIRE: Oh, my god.

BECK: This from the people when brought us "White Chicks," which I -- holy cow, that looked bad. Is "Little Man" as bad as the trailer looks?

LEMIRE: "Little Man" is death. Yes, "Little Man" just screened like Wednesday night at 7:30 for critics, because they don`t want to get any kind of word of mouth at all about this. This is the Wayans brothers who did -- yes, they did "White Chicks." They did "Scary Movie." So you know what you`re getting into walking into this: boob jokes, fart jokes, poop jokes, name it.

Guys get kneed in the groin repeatedly. It`s really stupid. It`s just crass (INAUDIBLE) whatever. But Marlon Wayans plays like a two-foot- six jewel thief. And they`ve shrunken him down to size technologically just to get this, and he sneaks into a house to steal a diamond. He pretends to be a baby. And so he gets to wear like cute, little onesies, and beanies, and...

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: And the laughs ensue.

LEMIRE: It`s horrible.

BECK: All right, Christy, talk to you on the radio tomorrow.

LEMIRE: Bye. See you. Bye.

BECK: Bye-bye.

Earlier this week, we had a somewhat uncomfortable yet entertaining interview with Mario Cantone. You might remember him -- he was in "Sex and the City." Anyway, Mario had some choice words for my physique, my hair color, even my frickin` pants, man.

But, no, no, no, I mean, it wasn`t damaging to my self-esteem at all. I mean, I didn`t cry myself to sleep later that night. No, no, not at all.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BECK: All right, I got a frickin` gun to your head, all right? I say, "You`ve got to go see a movie. Is it `Nacho Libre` or `Good Night, Good Luck`? Yes, big, fat Jack Black and the turquoise tights." Yes, he actually kicked George Clooney`s butt at the box office, and you know what? It`s not just -- according to this nut job and his new book -- it`s not just because of politics or plot lines.

Kevin O`Keefe has a book out that says the average American would rather see an average body actor in a movie over some gym-fit hunk.

MARIO CANTONE, ACTOR-COMEDIAN: Hilarious.

BECK: Right. Really, that`s because women think that guys are spending too much time at the gym and not enough time with them. Bull crap, man.

CANTONE: That`s ridiculous.

BECK: This is a guy just trying -- a guy designed this. Tom Hanks, try him. "Da Vinci Code," $213 million for a movie star with a lumpy body and, might I add, limp, greasy hair. Mario Cantone, comedian, actor, a man reputed to have more fashion sense than I, and that is saying something, sir.

CANTONE: Well, I mean, let`s just -- OK, you look good. I`ll tell you, from here up, it`s good, the dark. I`ll tell you what -- because you`ve lost a lot of weight, and you look really good. But I think you need to be wearing black pants with that outfit. That`s all. Otherwise, you look really good.

BECK: Well, I mean, I don`t...

CANTONE: Because...

BECK: I mean, do you always come on shows and just start to critique -- I mean, I wasn`t asking for your advice.

CANTONE: I`m just saying that I think if you had black pants -- but those actually -- they`re good pants. It just cuts you off. You look great.

BECK: OK. All right. I don`t even -- when did I lose control of this?

CANTONE: I don`t know. You`ve been angry all day.

(CROSSTALK)

CANTONE: It`s ridiculous.

BECK: I haven`t been angry all day.

CANTONE: I have to talk...

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: Can we talk about fat people, please?

CANTONE: OK, good.

BECK: All right. I want to know, as a gay man...

CANTONE: Yes.

BECK: ... it must be a sweet life.

CANTONE: No, it`s a lot of pressure to be thin.

(CROSSTALK)

CANTONE: Why do you say that?

BECK: Because if guys -- you know, if it wasn`t -- listen to me. And I mean this sincerely. If it wasn`t for the icky sex thing, I`d be gay in a heartbeat.

CANTONE: Because you could get it when you want it.

BECK: Because you don`t -- you know you know the other -- there`s no dance.

CANTONE: That aspect of it is really great...

BECK: Yes.

CANTONE: ... but, you know, it`s not easy living life as a gay man. I mean, I came out when I was 12 years old. I was like in junior high school. I didn`t care. And this was in the `70s.

BECK: I mean, was there a doubt though?

CANTONE: No, there was no doubt. But it`s not the point. It`s about saying it to yourself and getting it out of there. And, you know, you`ve got to (bleep)...

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: Do you believe that the flab guy thing, or that`s just a world created by man?

CANTONE: No, that`s ridiculous. I mean, look, all men want to look good and be fit, and if they`re not it`s a choice that they`re not.

BECK: No, yes, I`d rather be eating doughnuts.

CANTONE: Yes, I would, too. I want my warm chocolate molten cake with chocolate chip ice cream.

BECK: That`s exactly right. It sucks to be a woman, because you`re always -- who was the tennis star I just saw in the "Post" today that is going -- that is going anorexic, what`s her name?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sharapova.

BECK: Yes, Sharapova, going anorexic. That`s sad.

CANTONE: Yes, that`s the unhealthiness of the ads today, and the way women look, and the pressure on these little girls. That`s why they`re all anorexic. It`s terrible.

And TV makes you anorexic, because it adds 10 pounds to you. Everybody`s like, "You look so much thinner in person." Because I`m on Fat Tube.

BECK: Yes, OK, hang on, I`m being corrected now in my ear. It`s Kournikova.

CANTONE: All right, sorry.

BECK: So I didn`t even get a chance to even hear you on that.

CANTONE: Look, you know, it`s like -- I mean, all of these people are obsessed with "Sex and the City." And I get more people that come up to me...

(CROSSTALK)

BECK: Yes, because you were in that.

CANTONE: ... about that show -- yes, I mean.

BECK: You were almost the most -- you`re the most frequent guest on...

CANTONE: "The View." "The View."

BECK: "The View." How ugly -- we`ve only got 30 seconds. How ugly was that Star Jones thing?

CANTONE: I don`t know. It...

BECK: Yes, you do.

CANTONE: I don`t know.

BECK: Yes, you do.

CANTONE: I worked there. I cannot talk about it. I can`t.

BECK: Dish it, man!

CANTONE: I can`t. All I know is that -- no, they were all fine. I love working with women. Women are my biggest fans. And, you know, this Sunsilk hair product that I`m promoting, that I want to just talk to you about for a second...

BECK: Yes, yes.

CANTONE: ... is this incredible product for women, www.GetHairapy.com. And, you know, you get endorsed to do these things...

BECK: Will it make it look like I have more hair if I used it?

CANTONE: Yes, if you use the anti-flat, poof! Yes, anti-poof, anti- flat. Get hairapy. That`s all I`ve been saying.

BECK: OK, all right.

CANTONE: But when women come up to you and go, "I used this stuff, it`s great," you know that you`ve made the right choice in what you`re endorsing. So it`s good.

BECK: Mario, I appreciate it.

CANTONE: Get hairapy!

BECK: Thank you, sir.

CANTONE: Kill me! OK, good-bye.

BECK: Thank you.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BECK: All right. Welcome to today`s hate mail where, honestly, America, you`re letting me down. The first hate mail comes from me.

"Dear audience, I expected far more hate mail when taking this job. Sure, your compliments are nice and everything, but the hate mail has only been mildly hateful at best. I demand more hate in your hate mail, forthwith! You`ve let me down. You`ve let America down. Love and kisses, Glenn Beck."

Great point, Glenn, and I mean that. I agree completely.

Now that we have that out of the way, next one comes in from Chuck in Bakersfield about the long list of products that Disney copyrighted for "The Pirates of the Caribbean" special. Here it is.

"Hey, Glenn, caught your lament regarding the copyright statements over Jack Sparrow." Gee, I hope we can use that in e-mail. "I`m going to give Disney a pass on this one, though. What you read was probably a generic list that, you know, they have to use for all of their products. And if they didn`t cover those things, some fool would make that product and try to market one of them. And then, if it made somebody sick or injured, Disney might take the heat. Man of the mouse, Chuck."

All right, Chuck. I get it. I mean, I just -- here`s the deal: I just long for the days where Disney meant magic. Do you remember that, when you were this high and you were sitting in front of the TV?

Every big company has to protect themselves. I get it. Especially when have you a product that brings in over $130 million in three days. And maybe it is just some standard legal document, but it`s sad, isn`t it?

I mean, luckily it`s funny at the same time that it`s sad. Can we bring up the list of products again? I love this. The print is so small you can barely read it. But rest assured, you cannot legally sell Jack Sparrow Drinking Yogurt, whatever that is. It`s yogurt.

Jack Sparrow Frozen Meals, if they consist primarily of meat, oh, you`re out. Apparently, you are OK selling a little Jack Sparrow Couscous. Now, maybe it`s just me, but, you know, I was looking through the list, and I thought to myself, you know what? I think of pleasant smells. I don`t really ever think of pirates that have been out at sea for months. But apparently somebody does, because you also can`t create Jack Sparrow Aromatherapy Oils or Jack Sparrow Breath Freshener.

And I don`t even know what kind of pirate we`re talking about when you get to Jack Sparrow Lipstick. Ahoy, me matey! Or Jack Sparrow Chaps? Pirates come to mind, but not -- anyway.

You can send your hate mail to GlennBeck@CNN.com. And, please, don`t skimp on the hate, America. We`re counting on you. See you tomorrow on the radio show, you sick, twisted freak.
