>> UYGUR: This Glenn Beck clip you're going to get from his radio show starts with his
usual madness. And he seems a little, you know, high-strung, if you will, and a little
crazy in the beginning, and it only gets worse and worse. And by the end, I don't know if
those sounds he's making are human or not. So I don't want to overhype it, but I had
a lot of fun watching this and listening to this. So here's Glenn Beck on healthcare.
Listen to his rational arguments. >> BECK: Hi, Kathy, go ahead.
>> KATHY: Hi, Kath. Yeah, that's right, Glenn. I think you better pick your head up and put
it back on your shoulders, because... >> BECK: Yeah.
>> KATHY: ...because it's rolling all over the ground right now.
>> BECK: Yes. >> KATHY: We've got people out there that
are really sick that do need healthcare. >> BECK: Oh, my goodness.
>> KATHY: And when people like you... >> BECK: Yes.
>> KATHY: ...turn around and subject people to this kind of rhetoric...
>> BECK: Oh, my god. >> KATHY: ...that don't have insurance because
they can't afford and they've been laid off. >> BECK: Oh, wait, I know it.
>> KATHY: Where do they get it? >> BECK: Where do they get it?
>> KATHY: And actually, no, your family--let me tell you something, Glenn.
>> BECK: Yes, yes. >> KATHY: Obviously nobody in your family
has had an illness that they couldn't be treated before.
>> BECK: No. My family has never ever had an illness, you're right, and anybody--you
know what, Kathy? You are so right. >> KATHY: I didn't say ever had an illness.
>> BECK: No, no. >> KATHY: I said ever had...
>> BECK: Oh, that they couldn't pay for? Let me just tell you something, you are right.
I read in the story all the time about the people who are dying on the streets because
they can't go to a hospital and get healthcare. You're exactly right. We are letting people
die left and right in this country. >> KATHY: We can't afford anymore.
>> BECK: Oh, we can't afford anymore. So you must, of course, be...
>> KATHY: They can't afford it. They are going broke. They are closing their doors. And a
lot of hospitals [INDISTINCT]... >> BECK: Oh, they can't afford. Right, you're
right. And that's why the country can afford it. The country can afford it. Don't worry
about that going broke. Don't worry about that.
>> KATHY: The only industrial country in this world...
>> BECK: In this world. >> KATHY: That doesn't have healthcare. What
the hell is wrong with you? >> BECK: And we are the only country in the
world where leaders come from every other country to get healthcare when they can't
get the right kind of healthcare in their own country. We have presidents, we have prime
ministers, we have speakers of the parliament in Australia that can't get the prostate treatments
and have to come to this country to get it. So, you're right, you're right. We should
adopt all of those things. And Canada has a great healthcare, that's why people are
suing. That's why in Canada, they have a lottery. They have a lottery system.
>> KATHY: People in places.... >> BECK: Who gets to go see a doctor this
month in Canada? Go ahead. >> KATHY: How about the Netherlands, Glenn?
>> BECK: How about the Netherlands? >> KATHY: Yeah, how about France and Italy
where you just go in and sign the paper. >> BECK: In fact, you're right.
>> KATHY: And the doctors don't have to fight with the insurance companies.
>> BECK: Tell me, Kathy, about the insurance program that they do have in France. Tell
me about it. >> KATHY: You--there are people that go over
there and they are on vacation. If they have a problem, all they have to do is walk into
the clinics or the hospitals and sign their name. The doctors do not have to be bothered
signing the insurance forms or dealing with the insurance, different [INDISTINCT]...
>> BECK: So in other words, so in other words, if a person--hang on, I want to make sure
I understand. So a non-citizen can go over to a hospital and walk in and get emergency
treatment. That never happens here. >> KATHY: I'm asking you a logical question,
and you are not... >> BECK: I'm giving you a logical answer.
>> KATHY: You don't have logic. >> BECK: You're right.
>> KATHY: Where is your logic? What would you do? I'm asking you, what would you do
to change this healthcare system for the better? After all, every time you people bring up
costs, you don't care about the trillions of dollars to bail out the banks and all the
credit card companies that are... >> BECK: Kathy, get off my phone. Get off
my phone, you little pinhead. I don't care. You people don't care about the trillions.
Get off my phone. I'm going to lose my mind today.
>> UYGUR: Too late, already lost it. Man, what was that? To save mentally unstable is
an understatement. I think the only real question is high or not high. Remember, he has a substance
abuse problem, right? He certainly had one in the past. I mean, if you listen to that,
you think this guy is either, like, literally needs mental health, right, treatment or he's
high as a kite. I'm not sure which one it is. Damn it, Jim, I'm on talk shows, I'm not
a doctor, so I'm not going to give you a prognosis on this one. But something's wrong, I can
guarantee you that. And you know? I'm going to bother addressing these points here. I
don't know why I should. But he's--you see in the beginning, he was like, he's mocking,
"Oh, yeah, I guess all people don't have health insurance." Do you know that the Australians
come here for the best system in the world? Okay, all right, okay. Well, Glenn, have you
ever considered that some of us here at America, 50 million people don't have healthcare at
all. I mean, I'm thrilled about the Australian prime minister, right, but is your idea that
we should have no plan at all since the Australian prime minister comes here? Well, system is
fine. Oh, it cost you too much money? I don't care. The Australian prime minister came.
I don't--I'm--I have no idea if anybody from Australia has ever come here. I'm just [INDISTINCT]
Glenn back there. Okay. And he--remember, one other thing. When he was in the hospital,
do you remember that? He made a famous YouTube clip out of it?
>> BECK: It was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life to receive healthcare
in the United States. By Saturday night, I was full-fledged suicidal. And then, something
happened that turned me in the miraculous faction that I, I mean, I am once again in--of
my wife and how she has--I believe, she had saved my soul twice. I was--my [INDISTINCT]
come in to the room with a handgun and said, "Okay, we can, you know, give me some more
medication or we can just give you this handgun and you can go ahead and just blow your brains
out." I would have honestly taken the handgun at that point.
>> UYGUR: He started crying and he was like, "My ass, my ass." He had ass surgery. And
he's like, "I realized now how bad it is. And when we get back, I'm going to talk about
healthcare on this show." It's the same thing with all conservatives, man, when it touches
them, they're like, "Oh, my god. It turns out there's a healthcare problem. I didn't
know it." But when it's not about them, they're like, "Yeah, look, me and the Australians,
we're fine. And you, the rest of you, go on your merry way." But anyway, none of that
matters because why am I having a conversation or a debate with this guy who's obviously
have not of sound mind, "Get off my phone," geez, man.
>> BECK: Get off my phone. >> UYGUR: What was that? I don't think...
>> BECK: Get off my phone. >> UYGUR: Jesus. Oh, if you don't think that's
going to be a consistent clip on The Young Turks, you don't know anything about this
show.
