GLENN BECK PROGRAM
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
GLENN:
And Rudy Giuliani is a genius. He is a genius. And I didn't think so when I was
there on Friday because he answered a phone call from his wife in the middle --
do you have the audio? Listen to the reception. It's not as important to hear
what he said as you -- it's more important to listen to the reaction of the
audience to this. He's in the middle of the speech and his phone rings and here
it is:
VOICE: This is my wife calling, I think. (Phone ringing). Hello, dear. I'm
talking, I'm talking to the members of the NRA right now. Would you like to say
hello?
GLENN: There's a full room.
GIULIANI: I love you and I'll give you a call as soon as I'm finished, okay?
Have a safe trip. Bye-bye. Talk to you later, dear. I love you.

Rudy Giuliani when not talking with his wife during a speech |
GLENN: Stop. It didn't go over well at all. A lot of people in the audience told
me after -- I was not there for it, but a lot of people told me in the audience
afterwards they were like, you know, turn your cell phone off. It shows great
disrespect. Turn your cell phone off. I mean, we're in a movie theater and they
say, turn your cell phone off. We're the audience. Turn your cell phone off. And
I thought, when I heard the reaction from the crowd that evening when I was
talking to people that had seen it, I thought, boy, oh, boy, just not good.
Because they looked at it as disrespect from Rudy Giuliani. He was the guy that
needed to hit it out of the park at the NRA convention. He needed to hit it out
of the park, and they saw that as disrespect. And he started it with something
like, hey, it's great to be in London, or England and -- oh, wait, I'm sorry. I
just got back. This campaigning is getting so crazy, sometimes you don't know
where you are. Rudy, what are you thinking? For the love of Pete! Of all the
places you should know where you are, it's with the NRA because people are
skeptical on -- you know, at best they are skeptical on what you're going to do
and where you stand on the Second Amendment.
All right. So I thought he made a mistake. Then I found out the next morning two
things: One you probably have heard before because it's now being reported in
some papers, but I have the audio. Here's a speech that he did a couple of
months ago. Listen to this: .
(Cheering.)
GIULIANI: Hello? This is my wife on the phone. I'm doing well. You hear that?
Say hello. I'll call you back. I'll call you back, okay? Okay, dear. I love you.
Bye.
GLENN: Okay. Stop. This is what occurred to me, two things: One, this is a way
for Rudy Giuliani to look connected to his wife. "Our marriage is so good. She's
calling me all the time. She's just -- we're so in love." I'm so surprised that
his phone didn't ring and it was -- (phone ringing). Oh, hang on just a second.
I'm looking here. It must be my wife. Hello, sweetheart? Uh-huh. You what? You
just saved an orphan from being kidnapped in an inner city crackhouse by
responsibly using your legal firearm? What? It's incredible! Okay. I love you!
(Kisses).
I'm surprised it didn't turn into that because that was my first thought, that
he's trying to show his sensitive -- (phone ringing). Oh, hang on, hold on! It's
my wife. Hello? Hi, love bumblebee. (Buzzing). Someone's flying around like a
giant bumblebee giving me a big stinging kiss. How you are? You what? You're
painting a mural honoring the Second Amendment featuring the Knight and Hale
black powder rifle I gave you for Christmas? It's craziness. It's the kind of
gun nuts we are, though. Okay, all right, sweetie. Ooh-booboo.
I mean, come on. So first I think, because the response from his press secretary
is, hey, it just shows how, you know, how he's just a regular family guy like
everybody else. And that's what I'm thinking. I'm now thinking, this guy is
staging family -- (phone ringing.) Hang on. What? Again? Hang on just a second.
It's my wife. Oh, you're having erotic thoughts about me? I'll be home,
sweetheart, and we'll make love like we always make love. But just between you
and me, I mean, we're monogamous, there's nothing else going on. I will love you
'til the day I die and you know me. This time it's for real. Wait a minute,
you're what? You're doing your annual cleaning and maintenance on your Weatherby
Mach Mark V? You be careful. Don't make the loads too hot. I mean, I know you
are an experienced gun user and marksman, but you can never be too careful,
sweetheart. Okay. What? No, no, I know, I know. Hang on. We'll -- you know what?
We'll gut that deer ourselves together, okay? Because it would be a good
positive thing to do. I've got to go. Bye.
So that's what I'm thinking. And then it goes a little deeper. In a second I'm
going to give you something that nobody else has told you yet, something that --
something that I found because I was there, unlike the rest of the media.
So my first thought is he's trying to warm himself up. Then I go, because I have
to give my speech. It's the next morning and I have to give my speech and I'm
standing in the Green Room and Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox and all of these
guys are all standing in the Green Room and I walk in and they are all looking
at this table where all of the newspapers from all over are all spread out on
the table looking at the coverage of everybody's speeches, and they're all like,
look at this, this was just -- you know, I mean, Rudy Giuliani and the cell
phone, it's getting so much coverage and, you know, there were things that he
said and others said that should have been reported. And I looked at it, and
again the Beautiful Mind thing all of a sudden -- I know, he was crazy -- all of
a sudden it ties all these things together and I go, guys, guys, guys, look at
this; he's a genius. He's a genius. Instead of the story being how cold of a
reception it was to Rudy Giuliani and what he actually said on where he stood
and comparing it A and B from where he used to be and where he is now, the story
is, he got a call from his wife and look at this funny exchange and was that
cold or hot, was that warmly received by the audience. Not the message. The
guy's a genius. I said but, you know, that wasn't planned; it couldn't have been
planned.
Several people in the room then explained to me that Rudy Giuliani's wife once
said that she was in the Green Room. Another said that she was in the back
behind the -- you know, not in the room itself. Another one told me that at one
point she was in the room with Rudy -- she was there? She didn't know that he
was giving a speech to the NRA? That can't be true. That can't be true. Next
time Rudy Giuliani's on, I'll have to -- you know, I'll have to ask him and --
(phone ringing). Oh! It might be Rudy Giuliani's wife right now. Hello? What?
You just purchased a 12 gauge shotgun because a .20-gauge wasn't good enough for
you? Right, right. Well, listen, I wanted to ask if you were at the NRA --
(phone ringing.) Hello? You what? You're cooking up some venison now? Yes, I
know. I just wanted to -- I mean, come on! Next time he's on I have to ask him
and I just hope my wife doesn't call in the middle of our conversation. I gave
my speech and I turned my cell phone off because I wanted to make sure that Rudy
Giuliani's wife didn't call me.
On the train back home I spent the whole time just answering the voice mails
from her. She's crazy like that.
