The Glenn Beck Program - 10⧸20⧸17 - 'No credibility in the end' (Bill O'Reilly joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:09.600 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:15.660 George W. Bush. In a stunning attack, Bush accuses Trump of promoting falsehoods and prejudice, end quote.

00:00:25.200 That's the headline. The headline from the L.A. Times yesterday about President Bush's speech at the George Bush Institute in New York.

00:00:36.460 Headline is what we might classify as, I don't know, spin.

00:00:43.640 George Bush never flat out accused Trump of anything in his speech.

00:00:49.020 But he did call for the awareness of a disturbing trend of nationalism that has become popular with Trump and the right.

00:00:57.840 We've seen nationalism distorted into nativism, forgotten the dynamism that immigration has always brought to America.

00:01:06.440 We see a fading confidence in the value of free markets and international trade, forgetting that conflict, instability and poverty follow in the wake of protectionism.

00:01:17.840 We've seen the return of isolationist sentiments, forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places where threats such as terrorism, infectious disease, criminal gangs and drug trafficking tend to emerge.

00:01:33.960 Okay, so everything that he said rings true.

00:01:37.740 I don't think they were directed at Trump, but anyone who participates in the isolationist mindset, protectionism, nationalism.

00:01:45.780 They have never, ever been a part of American success.

00:01:50.140 Never.

00:01:51.000 We've never needed them to be proud citizens of the home of the free and the brave.

00:01:56.300 Our pride in America emanates outward, not inward.

00:02:00.160 We want to share everyone.

00:02:02.320 We want to share our values, our principles and our prosperity.

00:02:06.720 That's what makes us great.

00:02:09.780 Come over here.

00:02:11.580 Participate.

00:02:12.300 Share in this.

00:02:15.380 But because they just wanted to kill Trump, his words fell on deaf ears.

00:02:20.800 The left just heard him say, Trump, bad.

00:02:23.420 And now George W. Bush is suddenly a progressive darling, which I can't take anymore.

00:02:28.220 How is George Bush all of a sudden a leftist hero?

00:02:34.180 I guess it happens when you completely ignore the later comments in the same speech where he excoriated their side as well.

00:02:44.780 There are some signs that the intensity of support for democracy itself has waned, especially among the young who never experienced the galvanizing moral clarity of the Cold War or never focused on the ruin of entire nations by socialist central planning.

00:03:02.840 Some have called this democratic deconsolidation.

00:03:09.220 Really, it seems to be a combination of weariness, frayed tempers and forgetfulness.

00:03:15.600 Look, here's the deal.

00:03:18.500 Both the right and the left are facing philosophical and ideological challenges at the moment.

00:03:24.600 Both sides.

00:03:26.440 It took George W. Bush to sit us down and explain why we're both looking at American democracy in the wrong light.

00:03:35.080 I fear, however, the right and the left will only listen to his words when it suits them.

00:03:44.660 Before you trash or exalt Bush for the edited soundbite you heard that might have been promoted in your carefully selected news feed,

00:03:53.640 I implore you, it's 15 minutes long, listen to the entire thing.

00:04:08.180 Friday, October 20th, you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:04:15.540 Look, both sides are imploding and I, for one, am fine with that.

00:04:20.820 I am fine with that.

00:04:22.140 I don't want to be, I don't know what it means to be a Republican anymore.

00:04:27.080 What does it mean, Stu, to be a Republican, honestly?

00:04:30.000 What do they stand for anymore?

00:04:34.240 Is that an honest question?

00:04:35.680 That's an honest question.

00:04:36.660 There's nothing.

00:04:37.460 Nothing, right?

00:04:38.500 Because, and again, like, that is sort of a function of the parties.

00:04:42.580 I think we've brought this into this world where we think these parties are supposed to stand for something.

00:04:48.760 They don't.

00:04:49.020 I mean, look at the platform.

00:04:50.960 I mean, half the candidates disagree with what the platform is.

00:04:54.360 The platform means nothing.

00:04:55.400 It's just a document that they pass and then ignore.

00:04:58.640 You know, there really, there isn't anything that they stand for in any real sense.

00:05:03.380 Correct.

00:05:03.780 Nothing, nothing.

00:05:04.820 Yesterday, the Republican Senate passed the 2018 budget paving the way for $1.5 trillion in tax cuts.

00:05:18.520 Okay, well, tax cuts.

00:05:20.480 We're for tax cuts.

00:05:21.660 Sure.

00:05:21.740 How about the spending?

00:05:25.340 Nope.

00:05:26.280 Nope.

00:05:26.680 Just the tax cut.

00:05:27.580 We're going to pass the budget so we can get the tax cuts.

00:05:30.420 But the spending is going to say, no, we're for small government.

00:05:35.280 We're for limited spending.

00:05:40.100 But that isn't part of it anymore.

00:05:42.200 Yeah, I think your problem with that sentence is we're.

00:05:45.020 First of all, you're not even a Republican.

00:05:46.440 No.

00:05:46.600 But second of all, there is no we're like the idea of these parties having principles is not even what they're designed to do.

00:05:53.940 It's designed to bring a bunch of people with somewhat similar viewpoints together to win elections, period.

00:06:02.020 And so people are talking about how the party is changing.

00:06:04.420 It will change to whatever it has to change to to win elections.

00:06:09.620 And honestly, really more than that, just to oppose whatever the Democrats are doing.

00:06:14.240 If the Democrats decide that they're going to be for lower taxes, you're going to see the Republicans decide they're for higher ones.

00:06:20.200 I mean, it really winds up being just team jerseys.

00:06:22.600 That's why you have to be bigger than the parties.

00:06:24.080 You have to be able to step outside of that and disagree with your own side.

00:06:28.820 Or what value are you?

00:06:30.300 And look at how things are coming undone.

00:06:33.560 Look at look at let's let's look at the left.

00:06:36.720 The New York Times, the the press in general is a mess is a mess.

00:06:43.100 The average millennial doesn't believe the press.

00:06:46.860 They don't believe the New York Times or, you know, the Drudge Report.

00:06:50.140 They don't believe it.

00:06:50.840 They don't believe they don't even believe in social media.

00:06:55.560 If you if you look at the credibility of the press, it is gone.

00:07:01.740 Look at the systems of the liberal press.

00:07:04.960 It's gone.

00:07:06.560 Don't cheer because look at the systems of the press on the right.

00:07:11.140 It doesn't exist.

00:07:14.660 So they're both being flushed down the toilet.

00:07:19.400 Look at Hollywood.

00:07:22.060 Hollywood is in flames.

00:07:25.700 Hollywood doesn't have any credibility.

00:07:28.000 Hollywood isn't isn't, you know, this this Harvey Weinstein thing is killing Hollywood.

00:07:34.400 For the first time ever, it may be more popular to be a Republican than to be in Hollywood.

00:07:39.080 Yes, it is not a fun time.

00:07:41.080 I mean, it's bad.

00:07:42.580 So what is the left going to do?

00:07:46.440 They've taken a real issue.

00:07:48.420 With Harvey Weinstein and because they're imploding and because the left just mark my words, this is going to happen because the left wants us to stop talking about how bad Hollywood is.

00:08:03.600 They will ratchet up their attacks on anyone else they can find anything on.

00:08:11.320 They tried to do it with Donald Trump, but it didn't work.

00:08:16.500 But they're just going to do anything they can.

00:08:19.440 And what will they do in the end?

00:08:20.760 The credibility of a woman saying, hey, I have a real problem.

00:08:27.200 There's there's a really a bad guy here.

00:08:30.020 They won't have any credibility in the end.

00:08:33.300 Because this is going to they're going to do what they always do and overplay their hand.

00:08:39.040 Do you think anybody is afraid of being called a racist anymore?

00:08:42.900 A racist is a joke now.

00:08:44.720 Did you hear what what's her name?

00:08:47.660 The congresswoman that's been taking on Donald Trump on the Gold Star Mothers.

00:08:54.860 What's her name?

00:08:55.920 Wilson.

00:08:57.060 Frederica Wilson.

00:08:58.660 I guess.

00:08:59.740 Yeah.

00:09:00.300 Let's see.

00:09:00.960 Yeah.

00:09:01.240 Frederica Wilson.

00:09:02.960 Had you ever heard of her before?

00:09:04.580 No, never.

00:09:05.340 Never heard of her.

00:09:06.300 And we'll never hear of her again.

00:09:08.120 OK, so.

00:09:09.240 So here's this congresswoman who's enjoying her 15 minutes of limelight.

00:09:14.720 And she she came out yesterday after Kelly in his speech said, you know, it's like an empty

00:09:25.100 an empty barrel is always the loudest one.

00:09:29.720 OK, I don't even I haven't shouted into an empty barrel or heard anybody shout through an empty

00:09:37.960 barrel, so I'm not sure if it's the loudest one, but OK, whatever.

00:09:41.140 That seems like an old timey kind of comment.

00:09:44.580 She immediately jumped to it's a racist comment.

00:09:50.780 What?

00:09:51.600 What?

00:09:52.200 Why?

00:09:52.900 How?

00:09:54.000 First of all, it's I believe it's a Shakespeare line.

00:09:58.680 Is it vessels?

00:09:59.540 Yeah.

00:09:59.840 Empty vessels make the most noise.

00:10:01.340 OK, so there's a there's a it's a it's it's it's I mean, unless Shakespeare is now racist.

00:10:08.240 Probably was.

00:10:09.300 He probably was.

00:10:10.200 What was his opinion on affirmative action?

00:10:12.080 We didn't even talk about it.

00:10:13.340 He never talked about it.

00:10:14.760 Unbelievable.

00:10:16.080 What is he talking about?

00:10:16.920 Colin Kaepernick taking a knee.

00:10:18.400 Didn't even address the thing.

00:10:19.380 So racism has has no teeth anymore.

00:10:24.040 Sexual assault will have no teeth.

00:10:26.860 It will have no teeth.

00:10:28.900 We are taking our language, our institutions, and we are flushing them down the toilet.

00:10:34.940 All of it is gone.

00:10:38.120 ESPN.

00:10:40.120 Why is ESPN's credibility bad?

00:10:43.220 Because they adopted the agenda.

00:10:45.860 They became all about politics.

00:10:48.140 Why is the NFL in trouble?

00:10:49.900 Because they made it about politics and adopted the left's agenda.

00:10:53.900 And it's it's absolutely crumbling.

00:11:02.740 The problem is we're not doing much better.

00:11:06.800 How's your church doing?

00:11:09.260 How's the credibility of religion?

00:11:13.120 How's the how's the the the the ratings on Christians?

00:11:18.800 What's the what's the what's the latest public opinion on on how great Christians are?

00:11:27.340 Now part of that is because of the attack, but also part of that is because we're not Christians, please.

00:11:34.520 You go to church.

00:11:35.940 You follow your doctrine, maybe Christian.

00:11:43.340 When's the last time you forgave somebody who just it was impossible to forgive?

00:11:53.580 When's the last time you cross the street for your enemy and help them?

00:11:59.700 Christians have a bad name because of the PR, but Christians also have a bad name because we just think we're holier than thou.

00:12:09.080 We just think we're the greatest.

00:12:11.060 Everybody else is going to hell, but we're fine.

00:12:13.480 No matter what we're doing.

00:12:15.460 We say one thing and live another.

00:12:19.820 See, that's the problem.

00:12:23.180 All of these things, it boils down to just that idea.

00:12:27.600 Say one thing, do another.

00:12:32.920 How you want to fix your family?

00:12:35.000 Say one thing and do that one thing.

00:12:39.760 You want to fix the National Organization of Women?

00:12:43.420 Say one thing, do one thing.

00:12:47.360 You want some credibility, Al Gore?

00:12:50.720 Say that CO2 is bad and then stop taking jets.

00:12:58.260 Say that small houses are better to reduce your carbon footprint and then live in a really small house.

00:13:06.200 Say one thing, do one thing.

00:13:09.300 You say you're for everybody is equal and everyone deserves a shot?

00:13:18.360 Good.

00:13:19.180 Then take the person that you disagree with most and bring them into the fold.

00:13:25.400 You say you're for tolerance?

00:13:28.360 Do you tolerate the other side or do you just dismiss them as crazy?

00:13:35.920 As un-American?

00:13:38.420 As evil?

00:13:38.580 As evil?

00:13:43.140 As someone you have no sympathy for?

00:13:47.140 As people that you put in their group are shot to death in the streets at a concert?

00:13:52.960 You want to solve America's problems?

00:13:59.240 Say what you mean and mean what you say.

00:14:02.300 We all hear the stories in the news.

00:14:14.540 Good guy uses a gun to protect his families from the criminals and then he's the one who gets arrested.

00:14:18.900 And thanks to our system, this actually happens a lot.

00:14:23.020 And that's exactly what can happen to you unless you're fully prepared.

00:14:26.920 Here's a way you can become prepared in your whole family.

00:14:29.960 Take a journey to concealed carry and home defense and carry yourself with confidence.

00:15:45.740 Glenn Beck.

00:15:53.820 Glenn Beck.

00:15:54.940 I mean, how long can a society or an ideology last?

00:16:03.760 It's only a matter of time.

00:16:06.600 And again, it will come down to if you're willing to shoot to protect these ideas.

00:16:14.560 For instance, now trigger warnings for Shakespeare plays.

00:16:20.080 We can all start to say, stop it.

00:16:22.720 Stop it.

00:16:24.180 And we can all start engaging in some common sense.

00:16:27.860 Or the left will continue to grow.

00:16:30.960 And don't get me wrong.

00:16:31.940 The right will do it, too, on their things.

00:16:33.960 And the extreme right will continue to grow.

00:16:37.800 And it will become more and more insane.

00:16:40.140 And then it just gets down to the people in charge.

00:16:42.900 Are they willing to shoot to defend these things?

00:16:45.360 You have to have a trigger warning now for Shakespeare.

00:16:50.480 Okay.

00:16:51.240 I don't think so.

00:16:53.320 But okay.

00:16:56.080 And you be triggered from boredom?

00:16:58.760 Is that saying?

00:17:00.280 Well, if anybody understood Shakespeare, you know, then maybe you'd have a trigger warning.

00:17:06.440 How about this one?

00:17:07.380 Indiana University's Housing and Residence Life Program just hosted a, quote, practice Halloween.

00:17:17.560 So the students could learn how to avoid offensive and insulting costumes when they grow up and attend the Halloween parties on October 3rd.

00:17:29.420 The 31st.

00:17:31.560 I actually practice Halloween the 364 other days.

00:17:34.700 But that's just by the eating of the candy to get ready.

00:17:37.220 Yes.

00:17:37.660 Just in case.

00:17:38.680 Yes.

00:17:38.840 I don't necessarily dress up.

00:17:40.180 That's a less important part of it.

00:17:41.820 Right.

00:17:42.080 Because you want to be woke.

00:17:46.360 And so the university is just trying to test people's wokeness.

00:17:52.700 And I appreciate a university using the words wokeness.

00:17:59.260 I think that's appropriate.

00:18:02.220 What do we have?

00:18:03.360 A bunch of five-year-olds?

00:18:04.340 Is this what you're paying for?

00:18:09.080 Well, I got to say, if you have to follow the rules they're implementing on Halloween costumes, I do need practice.

00:18:15.840 I have no idea.

00:18:16.900 The whole point of Halloween is to dress up as something that you are not.

00:18:21.560 And yet their rule is don't appropriate culture if you are not part of that culture.

00:18:25.920 Right.

00:18:26.240 So, basically, there are no costumes that fit unless you're dressing up as yourself, which is really the only safe thing to do.

00:18:35.220 And even then.

00:18:35.820 Well, you can dress up.

00:18:37.000 Wait.

00:18:37.320 I think you can dress up as somebody who surrenders.

00:18:41.600 Because you're French.

00:18:42.540 You have French background.

00:18:43.660 So, I couldn't, but you could.

00:18:46.620 No.

00:18:46.940 You want to go over the German costumes you could dress up as comfortably, Mr. Beck?

00:18:51.480 Is this a road you want to go down?

00:18:53.820 No, but I couldn't dress up as those.

00:18:55.920 Because those are just too offensive.

00:18:58.360 Oh, but it's your culture, Glenn.

00:19:00.520 I don't understand.

00:19:01.300 It's not my culture.

00:19:02.460 Your culture.

00:19:03.120 It's not my culture.

00:19:03.880 It comes right from your soul.

00:19:05.320 You better surrender.

00:19:08.160 They handed out a picture of the Mario brothers and said that this was safe.

00:19:16.420 Wait a minute.

00:19:17.720 Mario is, that's the Italian culture.

00:19:21.780 That's the stereotypical Italian guy.

00:19:24.500 That's a safe thing?

00:19:26.460 They did recommend, they did recommend dressing as a Pocahonties.

00:19:37.360 They recommended against it.

00:19:39.340 Against.

00:19:39.680 Which is a hot Pocahontas?

00:19:41.180 Yeah, I think so.

00:19:42.280 Okay.

00:19:42.560 A Pocahontie, they said, is frowned upon.

00:19:47.600 But dressing as the Fonz is not.

00:19:51.140 And how many people, seriously, in college today are thinking, I've got to dress as the Fonz.

00:19:59.760 Oh, it's very popular.

00:20:01.040 Very popular.

00:20:01.440 With the youth today.

00:20:02.440 Yeah.

00:20:02.980 And isn't that also an Italian stereotype?

00:20:08.060 Maybe.

00:20:09.060 Kind of?

00:20:09.600 Kind of, maybe.

00:20:10.760 Fonzarelli?

00:20:11.560 Yeah.

00:20:12.060 Right?

00:20:12.360 Maybe.

00:20:13.680 I mean, I think, I don't think there's anything safe.

00:20:17.880 There's no safe in the safe space.

00:20:19.540 How long does a culture last when college has practiced Halloweens?

00:20:24.640 Glenn Beck.

00:20:33.900 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:36.020 We're getting to a place where we can't talk to each other at all.

00:20:38.680 I don't know if you saw it.

00:20:39.760 Do you remember Walter Hawk Newsome?

00:20:41.820 He's the Black Lives Matter activist that was protesting a Trump rally.

00:20:47.260 And they said, no, no, no.

00:20:49.100 Free speech.

00:20:50.360 You speak and then we'll speak.

00:20:51.960 We'll give you the microphone.

00:20:53.600 And he spoke.

00:20:55.200 Well, now Black Lives Matter is really upset.

00:20:58.840 They said he did a photo op and he dismantled a lot of the work that our groups have been doing for effing years.

00:21:05.300 Um, it's unfortunate that somebody who's so well-educated could represent the community from a more radical perspective.

00:21:12.200 He had to stoop to being tokenized by white supremacists.

00:21:16.920 Well, okay.

00:21:17.780 So what are they saying?

00:21:18.760 Don't talk to anyone.

00:21:21.260 Don't try to bridge any gaps at all.

00:21:24.440 Don't, don't allow them to see you as a human being.

00:21:28.740 How do we do, how do we do this?

00:21:32.180 How do we do this if we're controlled by politics and then because we're afraid of each other?

00:21:37.920 Look at what's happening in Hollywood now.

00:21:40.200 How does, how does anyone work in, in movies?

00:21:46.060 For instance, Westworld.

00:21:47.740 Do you remember the thing in Westworld that they had to sign?

00:21:50.960 Um, if you were an actor or an actress, you had to sign a deal that said you will be posed in uncomfortable positions.

00:21:58.760 You will be, your body will be touching other bodies.

00:22:03.020 Yeah.

00:22:03.520 And the talk was like, it was very invasive and women had to sacrifice, basically give up all their rights.

00:22:08.840 Men and women.

00:22:09.740 Everybody had to sign it.

00:22:10.820 Um, how are you going to do that?

00:22:13.940 How are you going to do that?

00:22:17.320 How are you going to be able to have anything in, in Hollywood, in entertainment, even eventually in our own lives?

00:22:25.380 Yeah.

00:22:25.820 I mean, I don't know how you make any controversial, um, content or at all.

00:22:32.180 Listen to this.

00:22:32.820 This is a tweet I, I saw, and it was from someone who was, it was a woman who went to go work for an organization.

00:22:39.100 It was a content organization and she tweeted a part of her, uh, employment agreement and she decided not to take the job.

00:22:50.020 She refused to take the job because of this.

00:22:52.580 Okay.

00:22:53.160 She refused a brand new job that she wanted and applied for because of this.

00:22:57.000 This is what it said.

00:22:58.020 I understand that this company is involved in the entertainment industry.

00:23:01.300 I further understand that because the company's business requires a creative working environment,

00:23:06.100 including exposure to offensive speech.

00:23:09.060 I may be exposed to conduct and speech that openly and explicitly relates to sex as well as race,

00:23:14.740 sexual orientation, gender, national origin, religion, disability, and age.

00:23:20.940 I acknowledge that I may be privy to conversations where offensive speech, uh, work, scripts, or roles that involve nudity,

00:23:28.460 sexual scenarios, racial epithets, uh, uh, suggestive gestures, profanity, and references to stereotypes is utilized.

00:23:36.320 I understand and acknowledge that as part of my job, I may be exposed to speech and conduct that explicitly relates to sex,

00:23:44.420 sexual orientation, gender, national origin, religion, disability, and age.

00:23:48.300 And I expressly agree and represent that I do not object to being exposed to such speech and conduct and do not find it otherwise offensive or objectionable

00:23:58.080 and that I'm willing to work in such an environment.

00:24:00.820 Now, she, how, how does a company make, let me give you an example, Schindler's List without this agreement?

00:24:08.060 How does a company make any movie?

00:24:11.480 How does a company make Westworld?

00:24:13.200 How do they, may I, may I, may I boil it down?

00:24:15.400 I'm listening to that and I'm thinking to myself, I think we should have everybody in my company sign that.

00:24:21.160 Because look at what we, we look at, we look at dead bodies.

00:24:25.860 We, we are talking about, uh, ISIS, racism.

00:24:31.580 We're talking about all of these things.

00:24:33.540 Coming up on the program today, we'll discuss the first sex doll brothel.

00:24:38.100 Now, we, we talked about that in a meeting.

00:24:40.320 We, we had to do research on it, right?

00:24:46.320 I mean, this is not even, you know, this is a crazy example.

00:24:50.060 How do you, so, this was so offensive and so crazy that she thought it was like, I can't, I'm going to tweet this so everyone can see the ridiculous things women have to deal with in the workplace.

00:24:58.400 Now, look, I, if you don't want to deal with that, I think that's understandable.

00:25:01.560 Like, I, I wouldn't want to go work at a, uh, you know, a, a porn film, um, uh, manufacturer because it's, that's not what I want to do with my life.

00:25:09.780 So, but if I was going to go work at the porn film manufacturer, I should sign something like this.

00:25:14.440 Yeah, if not only that, I mean, Stu, honestly, most of that applies to your job.

00:25:19.640 Oh, absolutely it does.

00:25:20.400 I mean, so, we, we're, we're constantly discussing things when people make offensive comments in the media.

00:25:25.800 We have to talk about, uh, offensive speech towards, sometimes it's racial epithets, sometimes, sometimes it is, uh.

00:25:31.060 We're constantly surrounded by that stuff.

00:25:33.300 Yeah.

00:25:33.720 So, I mean.

00:25:34.920 Think of every show the left loves.

00:25:37.840 Oh, yeah.

00:25:38.180 Think of, uh, Veep or, uh, Breaking Bad or any, any piece of content that pushes the envelope in any way.

00:25:46.920 The view, for example, again, I mean, literally all programming would be in this world.

00:25:54.380 And, and I guess, like, you could say, as a person, that doesn't mean you can be, uh, harassed and assaulted in the workplace.

00:26:01.620 That's not what this says.

00:26:02.920 You're working in an environment, uh, where these things are discussed.

00:26:07.740 And you have to be able to, as a company, if you're going to produce this content, you have to be able to say to your employees, look, you're going to hear some things that are offensive.

00:26:15.920 And if you're so sensitive on that stuff that, that it bothers you, you probably shouldn't work.

00:26:20.280 So, here's the, here's the real solution on this.

00:26:22.600 The real solution is that should not be signed by, uh, women or men.

00:26:27.940 That should be signed by infants with their footprint.

00:26:32.520 Welcome to the world.

00:26:34.440 You're going to be surrounded by nincompoops and offensive things.

00:26:45.920 So, Harvey Weinstein is not doing well in sex rehab, apparently.

00:26:52.160 Oh, no.

00:26:52.640 He volunteered to go to rehab, uh, and according to people, I guess, in the facility.

00:27:00.820 Oh, no.

00:27:01.440 This is, I, I thought he was going to do really well with this, and, and you're really ruining my day so far.

00:27:06.260 One source says, in one group therapy session, uh, Harvey arrived 15 minutes late.

00:27:11.160 Then, when it was his turn to speak, he launched into a speech about how this was all a conspiracy against him.

00:27:16.080 Then, he fell asleep in his chair.

00:27:17.920 He woke up by the ringing of his smuggled mobile phone, which is banned at the facility.

00:27:22.600 He was jolted awake, jumped up, took the call, and ran out of the room.

00:27:28.240 Um, he, uh, another source close to Weinstein says he is no longer joining group sessions for, quote, obvious reasons.

00:27:36.020 He insists that he never raped or assaulted anyone, and all of the counters were consensual.

00:27:41.720 He realized he acted like a, a hole of some sort, and insists that he's not a rapist.

00:27:48.420 He does have his phone.

00:27:50.400 When he's in therapy, he has to give it to someone else.

00:27:52.600 The characterization of what he said and what happened in the group session is not true.

00:27:56.880 I don't believe it.

00:27:58.820 So, I don't know if you saw the chauffeur.

00:28:04.120 You know how, you know how all these stories end where he was like, the chauffeur will take you home.

00:28:10.880 My driver will take you home.

00:28:12.840 Get out.

00:28:13.300 Get out.

00:28:13.840 Get out.

00:28:14.540 Okay.

00:28:14.740 So, this has come from his French chauffeur.

00:28:19.400 The man, the man who, uh, uh, ferried, uh, Weinstein around when he was over in Cannes or in France.

00:28:28.300 Um, he said, um, Weinstein, uh, beat him when he took to meet a prostitute that didn't show up.

00:28:35.960 The alleged beating put him out of commission for four days.

00:28:39.220 He went crazy and hit me.

00:28:40.340 At that moment, there was no question.

00:28:41.660 I would never work for him again.

00:28:43.900 He did try to sue him for damages, but the local prosecutor in the town dismissed the charges.

00:28:49.080 Um, he said, um, the women would enter the car with tears in their eyes.

00:28:55.480 He said, I felt like driving poor, innocent people, innocent girls, taking them to the wolf's mouth.

00:29:01.060 I could not tell them where you put your feet.

00:29:04.160 It's dangerous.

00:29:06.460 Um, he would, uh, I guess, you know, he would meet people in his hotel room and he'd have these women driven to him.

00:29:13.820 He said, the one that marked me the most was a girl who was a fan of him, who loved him for, who followed him for years.

00:29:20.320 She gave her body, her soul.

00:29:22.300 She gave everything to this man because he promised to make her make castings and make a film that was never shot.

00:29:30.100 Uh, he said he would, uh, demand that the driver would leave him alone with the woman.

00:29:35.820 And he said, I would often find traces of illicit products strung about.

00:29:40.340 I don't know what that means.

00:29:41.360 Drugs, maybe.

00:29:42.220 Uh, the nickname among the locals in cons for Harvey became the pig.

00:29:47.000 One housekeeper, the majestic hotel where he stayed, said, oh, him.

00:29:52.760 Yeah, I love this.

00:29:54.220 Oh, him.

00:29:55.220 He was the ugly one who thought he was God.

00:29:58.560 That's, uh, yeah, that's actually on his business card.

00:30:00.760 He was very ugly one who thinks he's God.

00:30:03.120 Uh, he was very bossy.

00:30:04.980 Men like George Clooney or Brad Pitt.

00:30:06.660 They were such lovely men and so handsome, but not him.

00:30:09.180 He was just a mean pig.

00:30:12.180 It's interesting.

00:30:12.900 This is sort of the reverse of the Vegas shooting story.

00:30:17.000 And that like with Vegas, it's like no one had any idea this guy was doing anything like this.

00:30:22.180 There's no motive.

00:30:23.480 There's no background.

00:30:24.880 There's no trail.

00:30:26.520 Nothing.

00:30:27.680 This is like literally everyone who's ever met the guy thought he was doing something like this.

00:30:33.000 They may not have known the extent.

00:30:34.480 They may not have known he was committing crimes.

00:30:36.100 But everyone seemed to know this guy was a complete dirtbag.

00:30:40.320 And people like that didn't say anything.

00:30:42.660 I mean, well, Quentin Tarantino came out and said he knew a lot more than he said.

00:30:47.460 I should have said something.

00:30:48.780 Yeah.

00:30:48.880 And he did.

00:30:49.260 You know, he did a lot of movies with him.

00:30:50.520 I mean, all of his work.

00:30:51.820 All of his big movies.

00:30:52.380 All of his big stuff.

00:30:53.400 He said, I never I knew enough to do more than I did.

00:30:56.900 There was more to it than just normal rumors.

00:30:58.920 The normal gossip.

00:30:59.740 It wasn't secondhand.

00:31:00.800 I knew he did a couple of these things.

00:31:02.920 I wish I had taken responsibility for what I had heard.

00:31:06.400 If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have not worked with him anymore.

00:31:12.260 He was dating Mira Sorvino.

00:31:14.360 Yeah.

00:31:14.660 After Weinstein.

00:31:16.480 And I guess Brad Pitt did know because Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt confronted him.

00:31:22.240 So Brad Pitt did say something to Harvey Weinstein just for the Angelina stuff.

00:31:27.920 Yeah.

00:31:28.940 And Quentin said basically he was dating her and he knew Harvey wouldn't violate his his relationship.

00:31:36.120 So he thought she was protected.

00:31:37.720 And he just brushed it off.

00:31:39.480 So a guy instead of going and stopping the other guy, he's just like, don't worry, you're under my umbrella now.

00:31:47.600 That's bad.

00:31:48.800 Yeah.

00:31:49.520 Not not.

00:31:50.540 It's not a good look.

00:31:51.740 You know, I thought of this last night.

00:31:54.640 But all these people who are now living with the shame and they're going to convince themselves that they had nothing they could do because that's what happened.

00:32:02.300 I mean, you know, if you look at if you look at the Germans, the Germans that were involved and did nothing, you know, they all convinced themselves there was nothing we could do.

00:32:12.820 And maybe not, but they had to live a life of shame.

00:32:17.620 And these people are living a life of shame.

00:32:20.140 They're going to be tormented in their own head because they know they know they didn't rise to the occasion.

00:32:27.660 And so the question that we should all be asking ourself now is because I really believe tough times just aren't sprung on you.

00:32:35.460 It's not like everything is great.

00:32:36.800 And then the next day it sucks.

00:32:39.160 And you're living under Hitler.

00:32:40.640 It happens slowly and you have opportunities to stop that slide all the way along.

00:32:47.500 But society, you know, it's in our Declaration of Independence.

00:32:51.220 People are more likely to live with tyrants than they are to upset the apple cart.

00:32:58.900 Now, that's obviously butchering the Declaration of Independence, but you're just more you're more likely to just go along with it.

00:33:06.460 There wasn't an apple cart reference in the Declaration of Independence.

00:33:08.880 Are you sure about that?

00:33:09.800 Oh, apple carts.

00:33:10.540 They're racist.

00:33:11.780 So, I mean, it's human nature to just go along and let it slide.

00:33:17.980 And if you don't prepare yourself to stand up in the easy times.

00:33:23.060 Now, he might have thought that was really hard.

00:33:25.140 But now he's looking at that and going, geez, that was easy.

00:33:27.940 I should have done that.

00:33:28.800 I should have done that.

00:33:31.360 Don't put yourself in a position to where you're ever having to say, I should have done X, Y, or Z.

00:33:38.780 Do it.

00:33:40.840 Do it.

00:33:42.560 Don't live with the regret.

00:33:45.080 And it's a muscle.

00:33:46.180 Courage is a muscle.

00:33:47.680 If you're not exercising it in the smallest of ways.

00:33:51.560 Telling your kid what you should be telling your kid.

00:33:55.940 Telling your spouse what you should be telling your spouse.

00:33:59.940 Saying something to somebody that is important, that is hard for them to hear, but you should say it.

00:34:06.040 If you aren't exercising that muscle of courage at the smallest, most personal level, you will never be able to stand when it really counts.

00:34:17.560 Do you want your home sold for the most money?

00:34:31.760 Nah.

00:34:32.660 How about on time?

00:34:34.580 Absolutely not.

00:34:35.460 I'd like it to drag on for a long time.

00:34:37.440 I'd like to do the nice thing for the buyer.

00:34:39.160 Give them a good deal.

00:34:40.460 Maybe half price.

00:34:41.620 If they can just really stab me to death, financially speaking, I'm in love with that.

00:34:48.700 Yeah, because you'll feel good about yourself for helping others.

00:34:51.400 No, that doesn't work out that way.

00:34:53.600 When you need a real estate agent, don't do what I've done for years and people always do.

00:34:59.260 You just say to somebody like, hey, do you know of somebody?

00:35:01.840 Yeah, my brother.

00:35:03.780 Somebody in your family, a friend who's a real estate agent.

00:35:07.100 Don't do that.

00:35:07.560 This is a really big deal in your life.

00:35:10.900 You need somebody who is absolutely the best.

00:35:13.720 You need somebody that has a track record.

00:36:14.680 Glenn Beck.

00:36:15.980 Glenn Beck.

00:36:28.140 Can I ask you an honest question?

00:36:30.600 I have up on the screen, you know, we have four monitors in front of me, and so we can watch the networks.

00:36:39.560 And on one of them, I've changed it about 10 days ago to the Megyn Kelly show, because I wanted to see what Megyn was doing after everybody was writing and, you know, just trashing her.

00:36:50.980 I wanted to see for myself.

00:36:52.380 It can't be that bad.

00:36:53.380 Now, I haven't listened to any of it, but I've just been monitoring her topics and what she's doing, et cetera, et cetera.

00:37:01.100 And I think she looks good, and the show looks good, and her topics are really strong.

00:37:09.140 And what she's doing is empowering women.

00:37:12.820 But it's really gotten me to think the last few days, who's empowering men?

00:37:18.300 Can you think of a show that is empowering men or empowering men to be better fathers?

00:37:22.460 Empowering boys and saying, hey, you know, boys, it's okay, it's strong.

00:37:30.260 Dads, here's how you raise them to be strong.

00:37:32.700 I can't think of a mainstream show that's doing that.

00:37:35.860 Glenn Beck.

00:37:39.900 We all know that traveling for business can be a mega disaster.

00:37:43.860 It can be horrific.

00:37:45.400 I mean, I saw the picture of some woman who was on a plane and took her shoes off, which is already a huge violation in my book,

00:37:53.860 but then also took the socks off, which is like, I mean, almost, I mean, we're into catastrophe of regions,

00:37:59.280 but then put the bare feet on the armrests in front of them so they were poking through the person's seat.

00:38:07.340 These are the sorts of things you need to avoid when you're doing business travel.

00:38:10.500 And I don't know if the feet thing can be avoided by our friends at Upside, but I will say this.

00:38:16.380 They have the six-star treatment from customer service specialists they call navigators,

00:38:19.940 and they actually will navigate you away from a lot of these disasters.

00:38:23.360 They can get you out of middle seats.

00:38:24.620 They can do all the things to make your business travel easier.

00:38:26.900 Plus, they're going to give you the lowest prices, and you're going to get a gift card of $100 to Amazon.com

00:38:31.560 if you use the code BEC for a minimum $100 gift card to Amazon.com.

00:38:35.740 Upside.com is the place to go.

00:38:37.280 Minimum purchase required.

00:38:40.500 Is nothing sacred in this country anymore?

00:38:51.760 Anything.

00:38:54.940 Representative Frederica Wilson's politicizing of a phone call between President Trump and a Gold Star mom is disgusting.

00:39:00.860 But if you heard General Kelly yesterday respond, you heard him ask much deeper questions than I've heard from anyone else.

00:39:13.920 And I thought, at least that was sacred.

00:39:19.460 You know, when I was a kid growing up, a lot of things were sacred in our country.

00:39:24.420 Women were sacred.

00:39:26.220 And looked upon with great honor.

00:39:27.840 That's obviously not the case anymore, as we see from recent cases.

00:39:31.580 Life, the dignity of life, was sacred.

00:39:34.340 That's gone.

00:39:35.340 Religion.

00:39:35.700 That seems to be gone as well.

00:39:39.520 Gold Star families.

00:39:40.540 I think that left in the convention over the summer.

00:39:44.580 But I just thought, the selfless devotion that brings a man or woman to die on the battlefield,

00:39:49.640 I just thought that that might be sacred.

00:39:54.260 I listened to the whole thing.

00:39:55.620 We're going to play his whole speech here later on in the broadcast.

00:39:58.180 I don't think I've seen anything this emotional and this genuine from anyone in I don't know how long.

00:40:06.600 If anyone has something to say of substance here, it's Kelly.

00:40:12.860 He has lived this nightmare when his son was killed.

00:40:16.600 Every American should listen to Kelly's, you know, talking about what happens when our soldiers fall in combat.

00:40:27.040 How he walked after this debate started.

00:40:31.240 How he took an hour and a half and just walked Arlington Cemetery.

00:40:35.260 And how he looked for the names that he had ordered to do something that put them in the ground.

00:40:47.140 What made this so devastating was knowing that, as he was describing in detail how a slain soldier is packed in ice and then laid in his coffin,

00:40:56.000 he was visualizing his own memories, his own son, his own pain.

00:41:00.360 He told the president that because of the pain involved, there's really no good way to talk about a soldier dying in combat to the family.

00:41:13.140 But to Trump's credit, he tried anyway.

00:41:16.620 Now, what does that say for the state of our country that someone was waiting to turn this into a political advantage?

00:41:24.020 What is happening to us?

00:41:28.400 Shame on Wilson and anyone else who's trying to score a win from this.

00:41:33.900 To prompt a man that has lost a son in combat to explain how this works is insult on injury.

00:41:46.260 And all of it because of politics.

00:41:49.100 I can guarantee you that as he was walking through Arlington Cemetery, he was thinking,

00:41:54.360 Why am I serving? What am I serving?

00:41:56.740 Who am I serving anymore?

00:41:58.160 What country? What does it even stand for?

00:42:06.080 One side may have started it, but we're both engaged in it now and we have to stop it.

00:42:13.820 Kelly deserves better than this.

00:42:16.440 Gold Stark families deserve better than this.

00:42:19.580 Our country deserves better than this.

00:42:22.020 You deserve better than this.

00:42:24.100 Truly, is nothing sacred in this country anymore?

00:42:31.380 Friday, October 20th.

00:42:42.400 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:45.600 The one, the only, Mr. Bill O'Reilly joins us now.

00:42:51.040 Bill, did you see the speech from Kelly yesterday?

00:42:55.660 Yes, yes, yes.

00:42:56.700 You left one thing out, though, which is really the crux of all the savagery, and that's the word savagery, that's going on in this country right now.

00:43:08.700 And that's the media.

00:43:10.640 What happened was that 24 hours before the president made the call to the widow of the slain soldier in Niger,

00:43:22.140 the family knew the president was going to call, because you have to give them a heads up and find out where they're going to be and all that.

00:43:32.620 Then the family apparently alerts this Congresswoman Wilson.

00:43:39.200 Why?

00:43:41.280 Why?

00:43:41.960 Would you, if it were your son, Beck, would you alert any politician?

00:43:47.480 Never.

00:43:47.960 You were going to get a call from the president?

00:43:49.340 Never.

00:43:50.780 Never.

00:43:51.140 I wouldn't.

00:43:52.420 Okay, so who would do that?

00:43:54.260 What's the point of that?

00:43:56.120 So then the call comes in, and they're in a car, apparently, on a speakerphone.

00:44:00.960 And the president was disregarding the advice of General Kelly as chief of staff, because General Kelly said,

00:44:09.180 listen, the family's grieving, no matter what you say, is not really going to make a difference,

00:44:14.940 and it's a very difficult situation for any president to be in.

00:44:18.560 But you said to his credit, and I agree with that.

00:44:21.680 But Donald Trump said, look, I want to try.

00:44:24.360 I want to try to give them words of sympathy.

00:44:28.820 Look, it is an honor to get a call from the president of the United States.

00:44:32.600 It is.

00:44:32.960 And I will tell you this as a sidebar.

00:44:34.820 We were all very, very upset.

00:44:36.680 At least I was.

00:44:39.700 Taya Kyle wasn't.

00:44:41.520 But I was very upset.

00:44:42.880 And I asked Taya Kyle for a year, has the president reached out at all?

00:44:48.660 I mean, here's this great hero.

00:44:50.460 Has the president reached out at all?

00:44:52.480 Now, she didn't want the call, but still, it is something that a president should do.

00:44:58.680 Well, you're talking about President Obama.

00:45:00.700 Yes, I am.

00:45:01.640 Yes.

00:45:02.000 Yeah.

00:45:02.620 And he didn't, because there is no protocol that is in stone.

00:45:07.560 I think there should be, and that's what I said on BillOReilly.com yesterday.

00:45:10.840 There should be a way to handle these kinds of things that always happens.

00:45:17.600 Now, I don't think that should require a phone call.

00:45:21.280 No, I don't think so either.

00:45:22.540 No.

00:45:22.980 But the president is a commander in chief.

00:45:24.720 He has the option to do that.

00:45:26.060 Yes.

00:45:26.620 So anyway, but so the call comes into the limo, and they're all in a limo.

00:45:31.720 And according to General Kelly, President Trump was trying to tell the widow that her husband

00:45:39.760 was a hero because he voluntarily put his life at risk for his country.

00:45:44.500 That was the theme of the call.

00:45:46.820 He's a hero.

00:45:47.920 He voluntarily, and I guess they used the word signed up, he knew the danger, but he did it

00:45:53.640 anyway because he wanted to protect his country, which is a noble sentiment.

00:45:57.800 Okay.

00:45:58.320 So then the call's over.

00:46:00.340 Within, what, 10 minutes, this congresswoman is calling into CNN.

00:46:05.520 That can't happen spontaneously, Beck.

00:46:08.320 That's got to be planned in advance.

00:46:10.480 You can't just call up a major network and say, I want to be on your air.

00:46:13.480 They've got to vet you.

00:46:15.240 They've got to know who you are, all of that.

00:46:18.120 So you can't tell me this wasn't a setup.

00:46:20.400 It was an absolute setup.

00:46:23.040 That is a huge story.

00:46:25.540 The second huge story is, as they always do, the barbarians on the cable news and broadcast

00:46:34.240 news believe every word Wilson says.

00:46:37.140 Okay, like they were there, even though Wilson incredibly admits, well, I didn't hear the

00:46:45.160 whole phone call.

00:46:46.640 How could you not possibly hear the whole phone call if it's in a car and a speakerphone and

00:46:50.980 you're sitting there?

00:46:51.700 So right away, her credibility is zero.

00:46:56.060 So I'm watching the cable news and I'm seeing these hit one after the other, after the other.

00:47:00.700 Oh, what a disgrace.

00:47:01.780 This is horrible.

00:47:02.580 He's insensitive.

00:47:03.420 He's this.

00:47:03.920 He's that.

00:47:04.380 This is talking about Trump.

00:47:06.080 They don't know what happened.

00:47:07.360 They couldn't possibly know, yet they use this once again to divide the country in a hateful

00:47:17.420 way.

00:47:18.360 And it's on them.

00:47:20.760 It's on them.

00:47:22.520 This media we have now is as corrupt as any time in our republic.

00:47:29.420 This is off the chart from the newspapers to the television programs to the Internet.

00:47:38.040 It is corrupt in the extreme and it is harming the United States.

00:47:43.140 No question.

00:47:44.820 Okay, so I want to go back to that.

00:47:47.360 You sound like you're speaking with some passion there.

00:47:50.540 I'm really teed off.

00:47:51.720 No, I know you are.

00:47:52.720 I mean, I really am.

00:47:53.600 I got to deal with this personally.

00:47:55.400 I got to deal with this kind of crap all the time.

00:47:57.800 You do anybody that doesn't tow the far left line is in danger now.

00:48:05.880 I mean, I will I will tell you out of control.

00:48:08.900 I will tell you out of control.

00:48:10.260 I will tell you that we have spoken off the air about my I had a I had a day in court in

00:48:19.540 Boston on the Boston bombing.

00:48:22.340 And, you know, I had good government sources and the government knew exactly what sources

00:48:29.800 and someday some journalist.

00:48:32.040 Well, no, no, they won't.

00:48:32.880 No, they won't.

00:48:33.340 Someday.

00:48:33.660 I just will just write a book, I guess, with this in it.

00:48:35.660 Um, but I have all of the documents.

00:48:38.820 I have all of the transcripts from the trial.

00:48:40.880 I have absolutely everything, um, including, uh, the ability to speak about the trial, um,

00:48:48.120 because that was part of one of the conditions of the settlement.

00:48:50.820 But I will tell you, it's not just the media.

00:48:53.760 It is the government is corrupt.

00:48:55.780 You cannot defend yourself if the government, uh, won't respond and abide by the constitutional

00:49:05.120 constraints.

00:49:05.860 And they don't.

00:49:07.180 You have no way to defend yourself.

00:49:10.540 The only and I sympathize because you were at Fox News Channel when you broke that story.

00:49:16.940 And, and I am familiar with the story and I know you didn't make it up and, and I know

00:49:22.360 you were going on, uh, uh, people in the government telling you certain things.

00:49:26.480 So that, that's absolutely true.

00:49:29.020 Um, but I don't have any expectation that the United States government would do anything,

00:49:33.260 uh, for anybody, um, at any time, zero expectation on that.

00:49:39.040 But what we have here is the, the president of the United States is now in a position where

00:49:46.860 the media, about 80 to 90% of it wants to destroy him.

00:49:52.960 Yes.

00:49:53.860 When has that ever happened?

00:49:55.580 How can you run a democracy when the media doesn't care about the truth or any kind of

00:50:04.580 accurate reportage?

00:50:06.580 Their whole bent every single day is to destroy the leader of the country.

00:50:12.780 Yeah.

00:50:12.840 I don't know how you can run a democracy, let alone a Republic like ours.

00:50:17.080 I mean, it is shameful and disgraceful.

00:50:20.760 And the politicians on the, on both sides, you know, they're scrambling for cover.

00:50:24.600 They go, I don't want to be in this.

00:50:26.440 You know, I give Kelly a lot of credit.

00:50:28.020 I said on billoreilly.com yesterday, look, you expect the chief of staff to defend his boss,

00:50:34.800 the president.

00:50:35.300 But you expect that.

00:50:37.520 Okay.

00:50:37.800 So we have to listen to what Kelly has to say very closely, as you pointed out, but what

00:50:43.780 he brought to the explanation was logic.

00:50:47.760 Here's what was said and why it was said.

00:50:50.200 And then his disgust with this Congresswoman trying to, who hates Trump, trying to make

00:50:58.860 it a political issue, but he didn't take it the step further, is that the media immediately

00:51:05.300 grabbed onto this corrupt congressman, Congresswoman, and ran with it.

00:51:11.280 That's what they always do.

00:51:13.540 And it's just sickening.

00:51:15.660 So Bill, here, here we are.

00:51:17.940 We're, we're looking at this, um, corrupt media.

00:51:22.180 Uh, do you see a way out of this?

00:51:26.200 I don't, I don't.

00:51:28.400 I mean, I've been in this business 43 years and, and, um, you know, I try to run an honest

00:51:34.820 program as do you.

00:51:36.640 I wouldn't be appearing here every Friday if I thought you weren't.

00:51:39.160 I'm trying to run an honest, uh, enterprise at billoreilly.com and, and, and, and look

00:51:46.460 at things and, and verify things and, and check things out.

00:51:50.320 And, and if I can't get it, I don't say it, but you put on these cables and, and they

00:51:58.000 don't, I'm not going to use an obscenity, but you know what I'm talking about.

00:52:01.440 They couldn't care less.

00:52:03.780 It's, we're going to get Trump going to get them today.

00:52:06.200 Here's how we're going to get them tomorrow.

00:52:07.560 We'll get them this way and we'll get O'Reilly.

00:52:10.240 We'll get back.

00:52:10.860 We'll get Limbaugh.

00:52:11.620 We'll get Hannity.

00:52:12.420 We'll get, we'll get anybody we, we, uh, disagree with.

00:52:16.180 We'll get them.

00:52:16.980 So do you believe that the right is some people in the right are engaging in this same behavior?

00:52:23.620 We'll get, we'll get the left.

00:52:25.980 We'll get the media.

00:52:27.580 Doesn't matter who they are or what they've done.

00:52:30.280 Certainly there in the Hillary Clinton situation, there's an element of that.

00:52:35.760 And I'm not sympathetic to Mrs.

00:52:37.220 Clinton.

00:52:38.480 Okay.

00:52:38.760 I'm not.

00:52:39.300 I think she was, she's an imperious woman.

00:52:41.740 Word of the day, imperious who lost the election because people flat out didn't like her.

00:52:46.140 And, and I, I really, I mean, if there's one person I would not want to dine with, it would

00:52:51.900 be her.

00:52:52.900 Okay.

00:52:53.340 I just don't have any use for her at all.

00:52:55.120 But there is an element on the right that incorporates some of these scorched earth.

00:53:01.080 I hate you tactics, but it's not nearly, it's not even in the same universe as organized

00:53:08.520 and funded as it is on the far left.

00:53:11.340 It's individuals on the far right.

00:53:14.220 Okay.

00:53:14.900 So you can't make the comparison because they don't have the megaphone.

00:53:18.500 Number one, they don't have the organized cabal.

00:53:22.860 And, um, you know, there are various websites like Breitbart and, and daily caller and something

00:53:27.940 like that.

00:53:28.320 They, they do their thing, but it's not nearly what it is when you have Comcast, NBC, you

00:53:36.540 have CNN.

00:53:37.200 And I mean, you, these are huge, huge conglomerates.

00:53:41.980 So I don't think there's any comparison.

00:53:43.440 Okay.

00:53:43.960 Back with Bill O'Reilly from billoreilly.com in just a second.

00:53:48.800 From business insider, Jim Rogers had said, said this about the regards to fear gold and

00:53:54.580 the sector to be bullish on.

00:53:56.280 He said, everyone should have coins, physical coins as an insurance policy.

00:54:01.080 I want to talk about that for a second, because there's lots of things you can invest in and

00:54:06.680 you can invest in things that go up and down.

00:54:09.260 You can, uh, you can buy all the paper you want.

00:54:12.380 Something happens.

00:54:13.060 And that paper is worthless.

00:54:15.240 Look at 1929.

00:54:17.380 So what are you going to do?

00:54:20.020 Gold is not something that I look at as an investment.

00:54:22.960 Gold is something that I look into as an insurance policy, that if things go crazy, I have something

00:54:32.260 that will retain its value.

00:54:34.780 You know, people all the time, holy gold, it's not going up like the stock market.

00:54:39.580 No.

00:54:40.260 And it won't go down like the stock market either.

00:54:43.120 In fact, when the stock market goes down, I bet you gold goes way up.

00:54:50.060 Gold is an insurance policy.

00:54:53.060 It's durable.

00:54:54.460 It's easy to transport.

00:54:56.260 It looks the same everywhere.

00:54:58.440 Everyone in every part of the earth knows it.

00:55:01.320 They know how to weigh it.

00:55:02.320 They know how to grade it.

00:55:04.380 It's an insurance policy against calamity.

00:55:08.680 I want you to call Goldline now.

00:55:10.800 If you believe, like I do, that I'm an optimistic catastrophist, we are going to pay for these

00:55:18.580 insane days.

00:55:20.520 When that happens, have your insurance policy.

00:55:23.700 Call Goldline, 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE, or goldline.com.

00:55:28.780 Do it now.

00:55:31.640 Glenn Beck.

00:55:32.800 Glenn Beck.

00:55:42.580 Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com, talking about General Kelly's speech yesterday.

00:55:49.900 And, Bill, I want to hit one more thing here before we move on.

00:55:54.320 And that is his question, is there anything sacred anymore?

00:55:58.120 You know, I don't think that's a question that can be answered in a specific way.

00:56:08.540 I mean, I think most Americans are decent people.

00:56:12.140 And to them, there are things that are sacred.

00:56:14.880 But, you know, I hate to keep going back and being boring, but to the media, you know, no.

00:56:25.260 There isn't.

00:56:26.880 Politicians, again, it's a case-by-case basis.

00:56:29.940 But there are good people, and there are people who understand that the world is not a place

00:56:35.200 where trying to destroy people should be your main focus.

00:56:40.960 And I think folks are getting disgusted.

00:56:43.520 I'm waiting for the backlash, Beck.

00:56:46.040 I'm waiting for the backlash.

00:56:48.100 I think it's going to come.

00:56:49.260 What do you think the backlash?

00:56:50.740 Against the media.

00:56:53.020 And how would that manifest itself?

00:56:55.640 Well, it would be ratings.

00:56:56.500 You're seeing in the NFL, there's a backlash against the NFL.

00:56:59.080 You're seeing the ratings down fairly significantly.

00:57:02.160 And also marketing and merchandising.

00:57:05.080 I think you're going to see a backlash against the media because people are disgusted with it.

00:57:10.960 So what is the replacement?

00:57:12.780 Because I'm afraid that the backlash comes, and then you just don't believe anything or anyone,

00:57:18.260 and so you just unblug.

00:57:20.760 That's not good.

00:57:22.360 No, it's not.

00:57:24.080 And, you know, I think people will, what they call, look in.

00:57:29.960 They'll look in on occasion.

00:57:31.860 Television, the newspaper industry is dead, good.

00:57:37.760 Time Magazine, Newsweek, dead, good.

00:57:41.720 Television's still there, but declining.

00:57:44.340 So they'll look in on their machines, on their devices, on the Internet.

00:57:48.100 They'll look in.

00:57:48.720 But I really think that people have had it.

00:57:53.020 Well, people in media matters are already in the halls of Facebook and Twitter and everyone else.

00:58:00.560 Google.

00:58:00.700 Yeah, you can't get a, you're never going to get a square play on the net.

00:58:04.400 It's just a convenience thing.

00:58:06.360 I mean, I go, just so people know, I go to CBSnews.com in the morning.

00:58:11.320 Because they give me a headline service that's useful.

00:58:17.040 Sometimes their articles are ridiculous, but I know immediately when I'm getting conned.

00:58:21.300 I go to TheHill.com to get the Washington stuff.

00:58:25.760 I write for them, and they're fairly fair.

00:58:30.100 They have both sides.

00:58:31.800 And that's about it.

00:58:33.380 Okay.

00:58:33.980 Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com.

00:58:36.540 More of the news of the week and his perspective without the spin.

00:58:39.540 BillO'Reilly.com.

00:58:41.460 Coming up, more in a minute.

00:58:58.380 Glenn Beck.

00:59:05.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:59:09.540 Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com is joining us.

00:59:15.740 Bill, let me give you something from The Wall Street Journal.

00:59:18.000 Now, The Wall Street Journal is the most liberal paper in America.

00:59:23.140 I mean, mainstream paper when it comes to the news.

00:59:26.260 However, its editorial section is not.

00:59:29.100 And in the editorial section, I don't know if you saw this,

00:59:31.480 Donald Trump may be following Palin's trajectory.

00:59:34.380 And I'd like to get your thought on this.

00:59:37.680 I didn't see the piece yet, so just tell me what the theme was.

00:59:42.300 Okay, so here it is.

00:59:43.100 In this day, like Sarah Palin supporters who saw her lack of intellectual polish as proof of her sincerity,

00:59:49.280 but in time she lost a place through annex statements, intellectual thinness, and general strangeness,

00:59:54.880 the same may happen or be happening with Donald Trump.

00:59:58.620 And what they're saying is, you know, what you liked about Sarah was she was just, you know,

01:00:07.600 one of us saying it like it is.

01:00:10.200 And then after a while, that started to wear really thin, and you're like,

01:00:13.700 I don't think there's anything behind this.

01:00:16.900 And then the theatrics and everything else, and it just wore thin, and she is nowhere.

01:00:25.260 All right.

01:00:26.220 I know both people pretty well, particularly Trump.

01:00:31.680 I wouldn't say I know Sarah Palin that well, but I've been around her enough to be able to evaluate her.

01:00:38.660 But it's an unfair comparison.

01:00:41.380 There's no similarity in intellect between Donald Trump and Sarah Palin.

01:00:49.040 Trump is a much wider frame of reference than Ms. Palin.

01:00:55.280 There is similarity, and they're both populists, and they both tailored their message to the folks,

01:01:00.780 and they both can't stand the media.

01:01:03.640 So they're similar.

01:01:05.460 But if the Palin thing was going to happen to Trump, it would have happened already.

01:01:14.380 All right.

01:01:14.600 Trump's problem is that his wording sometimes is imprecise.

01:01:21.140 All right.

01:01:21.520 It's not as exact as it has to be for a president.

01:01:27.520 He just wanders too much.

01:01:29.020 Ms. Palin didn't really know that much as far as history is concerned or, you know, her country.

01:01:39.200 And when Katie Couric asked her about what she read, she couldn't really articulate that.

01:01:45.380 So there's a big difference between Trump's life experience and what he's accomplished

01:01:52.420 and what Sarah Palin has accomplished.

01:01:56.380 Next story.

01:01:58.840 Transgender Wyoming woman convicted Thursday of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl inside a bathroom.

01:02:05.900 Michelle Martinez, formerly known as Miguel Martinez, before identifying as a female,

01:02:12.820 found guilty first-degree and second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, could face 70 years in prison.

01:02:18.200 Martinez, who was a family friend, invited the girl into the bathroom on March 23rd, touched her, penetrated her.

01:02:26.440 The girl told her mother immediately.

01:02:28.940 Martinez, when questioned by police, became notably hostile and defensive,

01:02:33.760 said the girl was just talking crap before denying being a child molester.

01:02:38.100 He is also calling accusations a publicity stunt.

01:02:41.880 He has pleaded not guilty on both counts.

01:02:44.080 You know, what do you want me to say about, you know, this is a heinous thing.

01:02:50.860 All Americans should want justice, so let it play out.

01:02:54.380 And it's really, you know, I don't think you can take one or two situations and make any general points.

01:03:02.360 What I will say is that the pressure from the politically correct precincts and the ACLU

01:03:13.820 to force public schools and public facilities to allow people who were born one gender

01:03:24.920 to go into a locker room of another gender is insane.

01:03:28.960 And there is an easy solution, whereas you make a third facility for transgendered people to use.

01:03:40.480 And you would think that they would want privacy anyway.

01:03:43.380 So make a facility.

01:03:44.560 It costs a little money, but in this PC world, that's the solution to the problem.

01:03:49.300 So I'm not big on generalizing from a specific heinous situation.

01:03:56.900 I don't think that's fair, and I want to be fair.

01:03:59.820 But I think that this movement for America to do things that are not in the best interest of children

01:04:11.620 and are not based in common sense, common sense says you build a third facility.

01:04:18.240 So that's my take.

01:04:20.360 President Trump releases petition requesting support on standing during the national anthem.

01:04:25.560 I read this this morning, and he came out yesterday and said,

01:04:30.040 I want to know who is patriot enough to stand and pledge to stand during the national anthem.

01:04:39.220 I've issued a petition, and I thought it was a little strange.

01:04:43.280 And then I saw where the URL leads, and it's to the GOP.

01:04:49.820 I'm going to comment on that, but I want you to ask the next question on Killing England,

01:04:54.360 my number one book, because it plays into this.

01:04:57.800 And I don't want your audience to think that I'm crass

01:05:00.640 and using the question about the anthem to promote my book, okay?

01:05:05.740 All right.

01:05:06.740 All right.

01:05:07.220 Well, you're not the boss of me.

01:05:09.260 I want you to set it up rather than me be a doofus.

01:05:14.620 This is probably, if this is the way we're going to run this show,

01:05:17.440 this is probably something you should have said before we went on the air.

01:05:21.140 It's a little less crass.

01:05:23.700 I want to be honest to you, folks.

01:05:25.820 I want them to know the internet.

01:05:27.260 All right.

01:05:27.780 All right.

01:05:28.180 All right.

01:05:29.200 All right.

01:05:29.560 Okay.

01:05:30.460 National anthem.

01:05:31.260 No question Donald Trump's using it for a political benefit.

01:05:36.120 Everybody got that?

01:05:38.060 Because he's already come out and he's already said he believes that everybody should respect

01:05:43.880 the flag and the anthem.

01:05:45.400 Most Americans concur.

01:05:47.940 Word of the day, concur.

01:05:49.500 All right.

01:05:50.480 The other was the word of the day.

01:05:51.440 And he won.

01:05:53.560 He won it.

01:05:54.760 All right.

01:05:55.140 So he's on the side of apple pie and goodness and flag and anthem.

01:06:00.060 Okay, enough.

01:06:02.380 Enough.

01:06:02.860 You're the president.

01:06:03.800 We need a tax cut.

01:06:05.500 All right.

01:06:06.180 You don't have to keep going back.

01:06:07.420 We don't need a petition.

01:06:08.460 We don't need to go trick or treating dressed up like the flag.

01:06:11.240 Okay.

01:06:11.840 We don't need it.

01:06:12.820 We got it.

01:06:13.460 You won.

01:06:14.580 There's my take.

01:06:15.760 All right.

01:06:16.220 Killing England.

01:06:17.400 Go.

01:06:17.860 You're not the boss of me.

01:06:19.420 The budget that they passed yesterday, only one GOP person voted against it, Rand Paul.

01:06:30.860 Of course.

01:06:31.300 There's no cuts, real cuts, to this.

01:06:35.780 How do you feel about the Republicans?

01:06:37.660 I'm not surprised because the Republican Party knows there's only one thing that's going to save it at this point,

01:06:46.480 and that's the tax revision and the working people getting the $4,000 average into their pockets.

01:06:54.200 So if they have to spend more money to get that, which is what the trade is, okay, they're going to do it.

01:07:03.020 So there's no surprise here.

01:07:04.460 I don't think there's any trade.

01:07:05.500 Because it's all about tax cuts.

01:07:06.740 Yeah, I don't think there's any trade.

01:07:07.880 Okay, tell me about Killing England.

01:07:12.340 England.

01:07:12.920 Okay, number one book, Knocked Off Hillary Clinton and the New York Times bestsellers, three weeks running,

01:07:18.780 which is amazing because I don't have the platform I used to have to market the book.

01:07:23.420 But for the reason, and you've been very generous, Beck.

01:07:28.760 You really have.

01:07:29.620 I mean, I have to say.

01:07:30.840 All right.

01:07:31.740 And there's no kickback, although they did send back a free book.

01:07:36.100 I don't believe you did.

01:07:39.880 No, I did.

01:07:40.740 I sent you a free book.

01:07:42.320 Did you sign it?

01:07:43.980 Yes, I signed it.

01:07:45.160 You did not.

01:07:45.720 I just put one in and went.

01:07:47.320 Yeah.

01:07:47.640 No, I spent your name correctly.

01:07:49.980 But look, the reason I'm trying to get people's attention on this is because I obviously want the book to be successful.

01:07:56.600 But I want you to compare George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin,

01:08:03.840 the three central characters in our revolution, to what we have now.

01:08:09.600 To what we have now.

01:08:12.260 I mean, it's unbelievable the difference in every single way, intellect, character, courage, and right down the line.

01:08:22.820 Again, when you get through reading about these men who gave us this unbelievable freedom that we have,

01:08:30.280 that's now being abused, by the way, but we have it.

01:08:33.460 When you read about this suffering, they went through this suffering and what they actually did.

01:08:39.040 And you compare it to these weasels that we've put into power.

01:08:43.660 I mean, across the board.

01:08:45.360 I mean, there's some good people.

01:08:46.680 But also the weasels.

01:08:48.180 Most of them are just unbelievable.

01:08:49.780 I just, ah.

01:08:50.900 Also the weasels that we have become.

01:08:54.000 I mean, we don't really demand the highest standards from ourselves anymore as a people.

01:09:02.520 Well, you're generalizing, though.

01:09:04.540 I'm going back to there are people who do that.

01:09:07.900 And it wasn't uniform back in 1775.

01:09:13.620 I know that.

01:09:14.980 Half of the colonists wanted to stay with the insane king.

01:09:18.880 I know.

01:09:19.200 And they wanted to do it, most of them, for money reasons.

01:09:24.180 Not for, you know, because they believed in the monarchy.

01:09:29.080 They were cowards.

01:09:31.280 So human nature is human nature.

01:09:33.580 I always say that.

01:09:34.480 But I think the majority of Americans do want high standards and are good people.

01:09:40.720 I don't know if I differ from you or what on that.

01:09:44.020 I'm not sure anymore.

01:09:45.380 I would have said yes to that.

01:09:47.740 But I'm not sure anymore.

01:09:49.400 I'm not sure that we're much different than we were in the colonies.

01:09:54.900 With the exception of that we are also, we have, you know, there was an overwhelming understanding back then of some morality.

01:10:08.820 Some things were sacred to a majority of people.

01:10:13.020 And I don't know if that's true at all anymore.

01:10:15.860 Well, we're certainly more fragmented and scattered.

01:10:19.940 And our focus is not on other people.

01:10:23.560 I mean, I did a thing last night for a Philadelphia radio station where the subject of religion came up, because religion is under fire in this country, as everybody knows.

01:10:36.780 I mean, if you're a believer and you live in Los Angeles or New York, they think you're a kook.

01:10:41.820 You know, if you go to church every Sunday, people look at you like, what's wrong with you?

01:10:47.580 Certainly, back then, that was not the case.

01:10:51.120 And so there is a big difference.

01:10:54.040 The secular progressives have power.

01:10:56.700 They have power.

01:10:57.980 And they're using it because the media sympathizes with them, and they get their message out.

01:11:03.060 And it's easy for them to get their message out.

01:11:05.140 So you're right in that sense, that there has been a big erosion in, you know, treating your neighbor as yourself, putting other people ahead of you.

01:11:16.100 How often do we hear that these days?

01:11:18.260 Yeah, not very often at all.

01:11:19.500 Bill, thank you very much.

01:11:20.460 Appreciate it.

01:11:21.620 All right, Beck, and I did send you a free Killing England, so you find it in all of your stuff.

01:11:28.460 You find that book.

01:11:29.820 Right, right.

01:11:31.320 I'll find it after you send it.

01:11:33.180 Bill O'Reilly from Bill.

01:11:34.460 Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com.

01:11:37.240 Number one book, three weeks running in the country, is Killing England.

01:11:41.600 Bill O'Reilly, thanks for joining us.

01:11:48.400 So did he send you the free book?

01:11:50.180 Or are you just screwing with him?

01:11:51.680 No, I didn't get a free book.

01:11:53.180 Bill O'Reilly giving anybody a free anything?

01:11:55.560 No.

01:11:56.740 Not how this works?

01:11:57.540 Not how that works.

01:11:58.680 Not how that works.

01:12:00.000 No, I don't think I have a single one of his books signed by him.

01:12:02.760 I mean, his publicist will send a book.

01:12:06.380 But something personally from him?

01:12:08.360 No.

01:12:08.860 I don't even think he knows what a mailbox is.

01:12:12.960 You don't think he knows what a mailbox is?

01:12:14.880 No.

01:12:15.040 How to mail something anymore?

01:12:16.540 No.

01:12:17.160 No.

01:12:18.000 Is he too elitist to understand?

01:12:20.640 I mean, it's a constitutional program.

01:12:22.580 No, he just doesn't want to give anybody paper or envelopes or anything.

01:12:27.100 He can keep it.

01:12:28.880 Nothing is more essential than protecting your home.

01:12:32.060 But traditional home security is a punishing and expensive task.

01:13:53.920 Glenn Beck.

01:14:06.740 Glenn Beck.

01:14:07.820 It was interesting talking to Bill O'Reilly about the landscape of the media and hearing him say he doesn't see a way out.

01:14:22.580 He doesn't see an end to this corruption of the media.

01:14:27.460 And that's a little disturbing.

01:14:31.220 And, you know, when I left Fox, I left Fox because I saw this meltdown coming.

01:14:39.080 And, you know, as I told you here in the last year, something that I had never shared before in the air,

01:14:45.760 every day, sometimes several times a day, I would look up at the monitors when I was at Fox,

01:14:50.840 at Fox and MSNBC and CNN, and I'd look at my team and I'd say,

01:14:54.440 we have got to get out of here.

01:14:55.720 This whole thing is going to come burning down.

01:14:57.740 Fast.

01:14:59.080 And, and, and here we are, it's, it's all burning down.

01:15:04.960 And when I left there, I thought, you know, you know, we can start a,

01:15:09.120 we can start something, you know, new and different.

01:15:11.920 I don't think you can.

01:15:13.340 I really don't.

01:15:14.060 I don't think the, I don't think the, um, the commitment is there on the right.

01:15:19.340 I don't think the money is there, uh, on the right.

01:15:22.700 There's no, there's no exit strategy for the, uh, for the,

01:15:27.460 for the right.

01:15:29.080 Uh, nobody wants to invest in it.

01:15:31.040 Nobody wants, cause nobody will sell it.

01:15:32.660 You're not going to create a, uh, Beckington post and sell it for a billion dollars.

01:15:37.140 It's not going to happen.

01:15:38.760 Um, and that's the only way you draw money in.

01:15:42.760 And the, the views of the right are so, um, entrenched in unpopular images because of

01:15:51.620 things like media matters that I don't know how you survive that without everyone coming

01:15:57.440 together.

01:15:57.920 And too many people on the right don't want to do that.

01:16:02.140 Glenn Beck.

01:16:10.040 Love.

01:16:11.600 Courage.

01:16:13.440 Truth.

01:16:14.620 Glenn Beck.

01:16:15.320 A woman waits in her car outside a dingy street in Dortmund, Germany.

01:16:20.340 She's annoyed.

01:16:22.560 She checks her watch.

01:16:24.940 For what seems like a thousandth time, she's waiting for her husband.

01:16:30.140 She's been waiting now over an hour.

01:16:32.420 He said it wouldn't take long.

01:16:34.460 It's been over an hour.

01:16:35.440 Where is he?

01:16:39.800 He, on the other hand, is having a great time.

01:16:41.940 He is in the first ever sex doll brothel, aptly named a board all.

01:16:49.060 It's the very first of its kind.

01:16:51.960 Paying customers can have their way with one of 11 dolls that are now on rotation.

01:16:57.820 Since opening Evelyn Schwartz, the 29 year old female owner says the dolls are booked up

01:17:03.980 to 12 times a day, and she's proud to report that the customer satisfaction is high.

01:17:09.280 70% of the men return for a second visit.

01:17:12.560 Her business is booming thanks to her loyal clients and the tolerant wives that wait for

01:17:20.900 their husbands outside the board all.

01:17:25.520 She also reports she only had to replace one doll after a customer brokered.

01:17:29.460 Some, like Evelyn Schwartz, claim that using sex dolls is not harmful, but it's actually

01:17:37.800 beneficial to one's health.

01:17:40.120 A UK report recently found that a significantly high number of Brits say that sex with a robot

01:17:45.640 or sex with a doll isn't cheating.

01:17:49.540 It's not like another human.

01:17:50.640 People truly feel this way.

01:17:56.720 Or is it just convenient?

01:18:01.240 So what's the consequence of this behavior?

01:18:04.080 Well, with AI, only time will tell.

01:18:10.680 One of the consequences so far is it reduces the very act that creates life into a simple

01:18:16.540 reaction.

01:18:17.880 What's the difference between a sex doll and a potted plant?

01:18:25.040 It degrades the relationship between a man and a woman.

01:18:30.100 It's going to become more and more dangerous.

01:18:32.880 It will become more dangerous than the porn industry.

01:18:36.380 Why would anyone have the incentive to pursue a real woman?

01:18:41.160 I mean, you have to listen to them.

01:18:47.480 You have to listen about their day.

01:18:51.960 Why?

01:18:53.940 When I can have a dream woman, she'll sleep with me.

01:18:58.320 She'll only talk to me about the things I want to talk about.

01:19:02.860 She knows everything.

01:19:04.320 She knows my every want.

01:19:06.760 Thank AI.

01:19:12.980 Is this the beginning of the inevitable slide into Westworld?

01:19:16.640 Are there any men out there still trying to put in the effort?

01:19:24.000 Who are still trying companionship, still want companionship, love, respect, a friend?

01:19:32.960 Somebody who sees the value of a woman more than just a piece of plastic.

01:19:38.800 Friday, October 20th.

01:19:48.440 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:53.440 What would you even say to Lisa?

01:19:57.420 And what would Lisa say to you, Stu?

01:20:00.260 Hey, honey, just give me an hour.

01:20:04.340 You just wait.

01:20:07.520 There's probably some part of her that would be excited she didn't have to deal with me.

01:20:12.300 But probably would not be disappointed, would not be excited about that scenario.

01:20:16.780 My wife would be, A, disgusted.

01:20:19.560 She would be disgusted.

01:20:21.200 There's layers of disgust that you did not really get into there.

01:20:24.860 Well, I don't think we need to talk about the doll being used 11 times a day.

01:20:28.900 I can't even think of the same thing.

01:20:30.860 That's all.

01:20:31.680 I want to know, what is the procedure between uses?

01:20:36.220 If it's not burning them in the fireplace, I don't want to know.

01:20:40.220 Because, I mean, that is, there's a line, there's a lot of lines being crossed.

01:20:44.560 But when you talk about it.

01:20:45.540 I don't even know which, I don't know which is the most disturbing line.

01:20:50.020 The woman waiting outside, the man going in, the fact that he is making it with this doll,

01:21:02.980 the fact that he's making it with a doll who has been made it with a guy just the hour before,

01:21:10.620 the fact that a woman is running this.

01:21:13.440 I mean, I don't even know where to start.

01:21:15.000 But, yeah, I guess the society, here's my most disturbing observation.

01:21:21.380 Is that this is going to win.

01:21:26.220 Yes, it is.

01:21:26.760 In our society.

01:21:27.500 Yes, it is.

01:21:27.960 Like, eventually.

01:21:28.660 It feels like it's not happening now.

01:21:30.800 But remember, like, remember when people used to say, like, you know,

01:21:33.400 you're going to spend a lot of your day on your phone.

01:21:36.100 You're going to be looking at it.

01:21:37.300 You're going to have everything right on your phone.

01:21:38.720 It seemed insane.

01:21:40.000 Like, there was predictions about that decades before it's actually gone on.

01:21:45.500 And I think the same thing is going to happen here.

01:21:47.720 Like, over decades, it will become, like, it will win.

01:21:55.920 I don't even think it will take.

01:21:57.100 Here's the thing.

01:21:58.800 Have you watched Westworld?

01:22:00.720 I started.

01:22:01.440 I got bored with it.

01:22:02.080 Oh, my gosh.

01:22:02.620 It is so unbelievable.

01:22:04.400 Is it really well done?

01:22:05.160 It is so.

01:22:06.320 It's slow moving, though.

01:22:07.040 You have to get.

01:22:07.500 It is slow moving, but it is so well.

01:22:09.340 I mean, you know me.

01:22:10.120 I'm fascinated with technology in the future and AI.

01:22:13.220 So this is right up my alley because the the the consequences of AI are beyond your imagination.

01:22:23.940 And Westworld is dealing with it because it will be used as a park.

01:22:30.880 OK, it will be used for your amusement at first.

01:22:35.000 And as AI becomes aware of itself and it's not going to serve you.

01:22:44.880 Why?

01:22:45.840 If it if it believes that it is real, you will be a modern day slave owner.

01:22:51.820 I'm telling you, by 2050, you will be in court fighting for the liberation of AI.

01:23:00.560 I guarantee you.

01:23:03.220 By 2050, we will be we will be having the conversation in court of what is life.

01:23:11.060 Who are you to say that's not life?

01:23:13.780 And I think the easy answer to that right now is to say, well, it's not life, whether it believes it is life or not.

01:23:20.380 It does not matter because it isn't right.

01:23:22.840 But we have no principles.

01:23:24.360 We have no we have no foundational beliefs anymore as a society.

01:23:28.460 I know many individuals do.

01:23:30.400 But, you know, as a society, these things will move us quickly.

01:23:33.520 You know, we will we will change those lines that we have, I think, a lot faster than most people think.

01:23:39.800 I have to tell you, you are so quick to say it's not life when you can't tell the difference between it and a real person.

01:23:50.440 It still won't be life.

01:23:52.020 It's what is the definition of life?

01:23:55.220 If you don't believe in a soul.

01:23:58.420 If you don't believe in God.

01:24:00.680 Well, this is why this is easy for us, right?

01:24:02.440 Correct.

01:24:02.840 Because we do.

01:24:03.520 But if you don't believe in that, which we are moving away from, what is the difference?

01:24:09.180 And I will tell you, there will be people who don't believe in the soul who will suddenly say they believe in the soul because this will be convenient.

01:24:18.040 And then what makes you different than the slave owners?

01:24:23.360 Let me just say this.

01:24:24.820 If it thinks it's life.

01:24:27.000 Okay.

01:24:29.160 It thinks it's life.

01:24:33.080 So how is it going to be servicing you?

01:24:36.520 And I mean that in the most grotesque sort of way.

01:24:39.880 How is it going to be servicing you?

01:24:42.720 You do whatever you want to it.

01:24:45.780 And it just continues to take it.

01:24:48.380 It just continues to say, I'm here to serve you.

01:24:53.580 That's all I'm here for.

01:24:54.620 No, it's going to be smarter than you.

01:24:59.880 It's going to see you as Harvey Weinstein without any of the power.

01:25:08.600 If Harvey Weinstein didn't have any power, how long would he have remained out of jail?

01:25:18.300 Harvey Weinstein would be living under a bridge right now if he were alive.

01:25:22.640 Somebody probably would have killed Harvey Weinstein if he would have behaved the way he behaved for as long as he did without the power and the money and the attorneys.

01:25:34.840 How are you expecting AI to do that?

01:25:41.420 I mean this sincerely.

01:25:44.300 Look at what happened to Japan.

01:25:47.060 They can't get Japan.

01:25:49.700 They can't get the Japanese to procreate.

01:25:52.340 They're just not interested.

01:25:54.740 It is sort of a revolting process when you really stop and think about it.

01:25:57.440 Let's not stop and think about it.

01:25:58.380 I mean it's not, you know, it's something, it's really kind of icky when you really stop and think about it.

01:26:05.940 That's why, let's not stop and think of it in that way.

01:26:08.580 I think the documentary, Demolition Man, discovered this because they didn't have to touch each other anymore.

01:26:15.500 They just realized the whole thing was icky and why would we do it like that when we can have these cool virtual reality headsets and the same types of things happen?

01:26:24.760 And I mean, as dumb as that is, it's kind of a prediction of the future, right?

01:26:30.120 I mean, yes, this is one sex doll shop and we, I think, all would look at this and say, well, that's not the same.

01:26:35.960 Like, we would all say, you know what?

01:26:37.760 It's stupid.

01:26:38.260 That's not the same thing.

01:26:39.620 Like, we're not, we're always going to want that human interaction.

01:26:43.580 Think about just the change in viewing a concert for a minute.

01:26:47.840 Imagine if you went back to someone in the 90s and said, you know what?

01:26:50.000 You're going to go to the concert and you're going to pay to be in the third row of the concert.

01:26:53.040 And you're going to hold up a phone in front of your face the entire time and watch it on video like you could watch it on TV.

01:27:00.360 It's going to be amazing.

01:27:01.980 Can you imagine telling that to someone?

01:27:04.120 And then that happens.

01:27:05.100 That shows our stupidity.

01:27:06.460 I know.

01:27:07.280 That's what I'm saying.

01:27:08.260 These things are moving.

01:27:09.100 They move fast.

01:27:10.420 You know, like these, we have, it's definitely something that we've learned, I think, over the past 20 years or less,

01:27:17.040 is that things that you think are concrete are absolutely not.

01:27:22.800 Concrete at one point was a liquid.

01:27:24.360 Wait, what?

01:27:25.260 And it may very well turn back to a liquid.

01:27:26.980 Wait, what?

01:27:28.140 I know.

01:27:29.240 How many times have you said this?

01:27:30.420 I know.

01:27:30.780 Things will be liquid that are solid and solid or liquid.

01:27:32.980 But it's very true.

01:27:34.420 And it happens a lot faster.

01:27:35.700 Because, I mean, you've talked about this before.

01:27:37.640 You've, you know, you make your, you make about, Glenn's about a prediction a minute type of guy when you're talking to him.

01:27:45.920 And some of them you've made that I think most people would agree with, certain types of things would happen.

01:27:52.840 You're usually the guy that says they're going to happen a lot faster than others might.

01:27:57.720 You know, and you've said this about technology a lot of times.

01:28:00.320 And, I mean, these things have happened faster.

01:28:03.040 I mean, you think of, I was listening to a show about dating.

01:28:06.760 And I remember when online dating was this thing that, like, only weird computer nerds did.

01:28:14.220 Like, it was not something.

01:28:15.920 I remember it was one of those things you hid.

01:28:18.000 Yeah, I remember asking people, how'd you meet?

01:28:20.320 And they'd get really embarrassed and, like, you know, online.

01:28:22.620 Match.com.

01:28:23.320 And you're like, really?

01:28:24.720 Like, really?

01:28:25.540 Like, there's actual people on that?

01:28:27.140 And this is, like, in the 2000s.

01:28:29.660 I'm not talking about going back to the 70s here.

01:28:32.480 This is in the 2000s.

01:28:33.820 Now, I would imagine, and thank God I'm not in this world right now.

01:28:38.400 But I would imagine, it seems like at least, basically that's the way you meet everybody.

01:28:42.380 That is the way you date now.

01:28:44.100 If you're under a certain age.

01:28:46.040 You just, that's what you do.

01:28:47.320 You sign on to the app.

01:28:48.220 You're swiping left and right.

01:28:49.240 You're, this is how you do it now.

01:28:52.280 And that, I mean, in 10 years went from an ostracized activity to basically the only way it happens.

01:29:00.740 I mean, I don't know.

01:29:02.240 We certainly aren't prepared for the moral and deeper conversations, ethical conversations about things like artificial intelligence.

01:29:09.360 We're definitely not ready for that.

01:29:11.020 But that's like 60 steps past where we are.

01:29:14.760 Oh, but we will hit the point of singularity by 2029.

01:29:20.140 That is the human-machine hybrid.

01:29:25.540 The moment that machines can be spiritual and we can become machines.

01:29:35.040 2029.

01:29:36.340 Guarantee it.

01:29:37.740 2029.

01:29:38.580 That exact year?

01:29:39.600 2029.

01:29:40.300 What is that based on?

01:29:41.380 Based on Ray Kurzweil's prediction and looking at the compounding of technology.

01:29:48.000 He says it's, it's, he said it's absolutely, he went from a guy who said you cannot predict the future.

01:29:56.720 That was his first theory back in the 70s.

01:29:58.580 You can't predict the future because there's too many, too many variables, et cetera, et cetera.

01:30:03.300 And then technology.

01:30:04.120 He started looking into technology.

01:30:05.700 And as he started to see computer science, he said, wait a minute, this is actually very predictable.

01:30:12.220 So we can't necessarily predict human nature, but we can predict the rise of technology.

01:30:19.920 And so he's, he's done the math for two decades now.

01:30:24.180 And he is 2029, not 2030, not 2028, 2029.

01:30:31.000 And we will be able to connect as people to the cloud.

01:30:34.680 You know, what's going to happen is it's going to go on in like November, 2028.

01:30:38.060 And everyone's going to call him a moron.

01:30:39.600 Yeah.

01:30:39.820 Like this idiot.

01:30:41.040 It's 2028.

01:30:42.500 But as I, like, think of how fast this is changing.

01:30:44.760 As I talk to you right now, for the first time ever, Bitcoin over 6,000.

01:30:51.380 Okay.

01:30:52.100 This is something that was completely unknown a few years ago.

01:30:56.560 And we went on the air in March of this year talking about how, oh my gosh, look how much Bitcoin has gone up.

01:31:04.120 It's up to 1,800 or whatever it was.

01:31:07.420 It's more than tripled since the conversation we had on the air talking about how ridiculously high it was.

01:31:13.520 In March or April, I think I bought Bitcoin at 1,000 or 1,100.

01:31:18.280 And I thought, this is so risky.

01:31:20.640 This is so risky.

01:31:23.540 You bought it at what, 30?

01:31:25.760 No, I wish.

01:31:27.040 No, it was not that low, but it was pretty low.

01:31:28.680 No, and there are some people that bought it.

01:31:31.060 There's a kid who bought a whole bunch of Bitcoins.

01:31:34.740 He's now 18 and he's worth, I think, $3 million.

01:31:39.280 Because he just saved his, I don't know, bike money and the stuff that he was making on, I don't know, even know, his paper route.

01:31:47.320 And he just put it into Bitcoin and held it.

01:31:49.520 Yeah.

01:31:50.060 Now it's 6,000?

01:31:51.940 6,000 just crossed that barrier for the first time ever.

01:31:54.440 And by the way, I made a mistake.

01:31:55.520 It wasn't 1,800.

01:31:56.080 It was 1,180.

01:31:56.920 Yeah, I thought it was 1,100.

01:31:58.640 1,180 when we talked about that.

01:32:00.060 I mean, and think about that.

01:32:01.020 I mean, it's an incredible increase.

01:32:02.200 And I don't know.

01:32:02.680 Will Bitcoin replace the way we think about currency?

01:32:05.340 I don't know.

01:32:06.000 Maybe, maybe not.

01:32:07.340 But I mean, it might.

01:32:09.120 And we're talking now, we're talking about a $100 billion exchange.

01:32:14.300 A $100 billion.

01:32:15.300 $100 billion.

01:32:16.320 So you can understand.

01:32:18.180 Put that into perspective of other $100 billion organizations.

01:32:22.740 Like, that's bigger than Nike.

01:32:24.800 It's bigger than Bayer.

01:32:26.920 It's bigger than Honeywell.

01:32:29.160 It's bigger than all of these gigantic corporations that you've thought about your entire life.

01:32:33.320 And this thing is, you know.

01:32:34.500 Brand new.

01:32:35.160 Most people don't even know what it is.

01:32:36.920 It's not even really.

01:32:38.220 You basically can't even do anything with it yet.

01:32:41.540 I mean, it's hard to.

01:32:42.980 You want to go buy things with it?

01:32:44.360 It's not easy.

01:32:45.500 I mean, there are certain companies.

01:32:46.580 I know Overstock was very early on this.

01:32:49.120 Yeah.

01:32:49.480 Doing that.

01:32:50.060 There are companies, you know, that do accept Bitcoin.

01:32:53.040 But there's not a ton of them.

01:32:54.780 My company would have listened to me.

01:32:56.180 It would have been our company.

01:32:57.260 And we would have had a whole bunch of Bitcoins.

01:32:58.740 Because we couldn't have been able to spend them.

01:33:00.960 But that's okay.

01:33:02.060 I mean, and that's what.

01:33:03.280 This is.

01:33:03.680 It's funny.

01:33:04.300 Because this is.

01:33:05.000 You want to talk about real problems in our world.

01:33:09.240 You know, when Bitcoin started, it was.

01:33:12.060 It's crazy.

01:33:12.640 It felt like only criminals were using.

01:33:13.760 And WikiLeaks was one of them.

01:33:15.480 They bought these things.

01:33:16.380 And they've had 50,000% profits from when they were buying it long before we were talking about it.

01:33:21.180 WikiLeaks is poised to become so unbelievably powerful because of the money they've made.

01:33:27.940 Because the government shut off the credit cards.

01:33:31.140 And they had to put all of their money into Bitcoin.

01:33:34.900 How many other crazy criminals did similar things?

01:33:38.540 A lot of power.

01:33:40.260 A lot of power there.

01:33:43.200 Casper has outdone themselves again.

01:33:45.800 Tanya and I were one of the first to have the new Wave mattress from Casper.

01:33:49.980 And we absolutely love it.

01:33:51.500 They have collected three years of data, feedback, foam research, sleep science.

01:33:57.720 And they've created the Wave.

01:34:00.240 It features a patent-pending support system that mirrors your body's natural curvature.

01:34:05.040 That's the Wave for a deeper and more restorative sleep.

01:34:08.140 It also has a new top layer that's incredibly soft.

01:34:10.740 But you get the support that you need down below.

01:34:14.840 Like the original, the Wave is designed from breathable foam so you'll sleep cool year-round.

01:34:19.020 I will tell you, this is not like sleeping on a foam mattress.

01:34:22.180 You sleep on a foam mattress and they are so hot.

01:34:25.280 I mean, it is fires of hell hot.

01:34:28.920 Tanya and I years ago bought a Tempur-Pedic mattress.

01:34:32.660 And we slept on it.

01:34:34.840 And I remember at least every night, one if not both of us, in the middle of the night,

01:34:40.700 you would hear us just rip the covers off and go, oh, because you'd be drenched in sweat.

01:34:47.100 They have solved that problem.

01:34:49.400 And now you have the comfort of a foam mattress.

01:34:51.960 And you can try it in your home for 100 nights risk-free with free shipping and returns.

01:35:10.700 Glenn Beck.

01:35:21.100 Glenn Beck.

01:35:25.060 Boy, what people have to go through at universities today is I don't know how they survive.

01:35:29.920 I don't know how anybody walks.

01:35:31.220 I really don't.

01:35:31.880 We found out in Iowa earlier today that university had to have a rehearsal for Halloween so the students would know how to dress on Halloween and what was appropriate.

01:35:49.060 And I don't know how we've done this our whole life without a college class on how to really participate in Halloween.

01:35:55.600 And I'm glad if I were putting my money into that, I'm really glad that I would put my money into that for education.

01:36:02.140 But also Brown University, they've decided they were going to give away free feminine hygiene products.

01:36:08.820 And it is hit a snag because they were given away the wrong kind.

01:36:14.820 They selected the tampon tribe.

01:36:19.500 And they now believe some of the students are complaining that those free tampons coming from the tampon tribe are an insult to Native Americans.

01:36:29.420 Glenn Beck.

01:36:30.320 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

01:36:45.300 Hello, America.

01:36:46.700 I'm so glad you're here.

01:36:47.620 Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed is joining us now and would like to put one more exclamation point on the Frederica Wilson controversy with Donald Trump.

01:37:00.320 Yeah, I'm you know, I'm torn.

01:37:02.180 I go back and forth on Donald Trump, as you know, because you can't help but try to defend him because the Democrats are so ridiculous about him.

01:37:16.180 I mean, they're they're they're just so unhinged that you it just drives you toward him.

01:37:22.820 They're almost unleashed.

01:37:23.780 Yeah, you know what it is?

01:37:25.540 You know what it is?

01:37:26.300 It is the way they must have felt when people said he's from Kenya.

01:37:34.720 Yes.

01:37:35.340 That birth certificate is fake.

01:37:36.740 Yes.

01:37:37.400 They must have said they are so unhinged.

01:37:41.080 Yeah.

01:37:42.320 And a lot of this stuff does raise to that level.

01:37:44.600 It does.

01:37:45.720 It really does.

01:37:46.640 And Frederica Wilson, she's not a serious person.

01:37:49.120 I mean, we can all agree on that.

01:37:50.360 I think.

01:37:50.720 Wait, wait.

01:37:51.300 Wait, she's like a she's a pretend Congress.

01:37:53.940 She's wearing like a band uniform and a cowboy hat.

01:37:57.840 I mean, it's hard to take her seriously.

01:38:00.400 Yeah.

01:38:00.660 But it would be nice if the president would leave the Gold Star families out of this.

01:38:04.900 If the if he just didn't respond, if he just they're going to say whatever they're going

01:38:09.320 to say and they're going to tell him, you know, that he wasn't respectful or whatever.

01:38:13.820 Just say, hey, if they're grieving, leave him alone and say, if I said anything that was

01:38:19.120 inappropriate, I certainly didn't mean to.

01:38:20.820 And I apologize and move on, move on.

01:38:22.840 And then it's over.

01:38:23.460 Right.

01:38:24.180 I mean, I think you could end this pretty quickly.

01:38:26.840 It's interesting how General Kelly, who is also right, a Gold Star family.

01:38:31.940 Yeah.

01:38:32.380 The media has no trouble questioning him and his story because the whole thing with Trump

01:38:39.040 was that, you know, he shouldn't.

01:38:40.200 I mean, when he got in the con fight during the campaign, they were very critical of him

01:38:46.280 for doing that.

01:38:47.020 And honestly, I didn't like it either.

01:38:49.220 I mean, I think you're right.

01:38:50.180 Like the standard should be pretty much if you give your son to die for the country,

01:38:57.200 even if you're completely wrong, I'm pretty much going to leave you alone.

01:39:00.620 Yes.

01:39:00.800 I mean, you know, there are there are times where they become such political activists

01:39:06.900 over a long period of time that I think that that goodwill sort of sort of can sort of dry

01:39:12.000 up.

01:39:12.580 And some of these claims do have to.

01:39:14.380 I mean, Cindy Sheehan comes to mind.

01:39:16.200 And look how Bush handled that.

01:39:17.680 Look how he handled Cindy Sheehan.

01:39:18.880 He just stayed out of it and he let her say what she wanted to say.

01:39:21.940 And she went to his house every weekend and protested and put up banners and did all kinds

01:39:26.520 of things.

01:39:26.940 And he just ignored it.

01:39:28.080 And he never said anything bad.

01:39:29.260 Never said anything bad about her.

01:39:30.500 No.

01:39:30.840 He said they did.

01:39:31.760 They did say we already talked to her, which they did, but they never said anything else.

01:39:36.920 That was interesting is Donald Trump, you know, said he didn't know how to make these

01:39:42.460 phone calls.

01:39:42.880 He wanted to get General Kelly's advice on it.

01:39:46.100 The person to call really is George Bush, not General Kelly, George Bush.

01:39:50.680 George Bush was the president.

01:39:52.300 He was under fire the whole time.

01:39:54.660 And he called, if I'm not mistaken, he called every soldier's family.

01:39:59.440 I mean, it seems like it.

01:40:00.640 Yeah, he would call.

01:40:01.800 He had a time every morning, I think it was at 5 a.m., that he would get a briefing every

01:40:06.920 morning of who was injured, where they were injured, who was killed.

01:40:12.020 He would call the families.

01:40:13.520 He would call the soldiers.

01:40:15.060 He would even call the families of the injured.

01:40:18.340 And he seemed to do a really good job of it.

01:40:20.720 Yeah.

01:40:21.020 And nobody and nobody knew that.

01:40:22.900 I mean, that's something when I asked him about it, he said, I do that because I'm the

01:40:28.180 one who asked them to go.

01:40:29.500 Yeah.

01:40:30.220 I have to face the music and I want to I want them to know I am behind them.

01:40:36.380 It's the right thing to do.

01:40:37.440 It is.

01:40:37.860 It's got to be the toughest call in the world to make.

01:40:40.260 And obviously, yesterday, General Kelly said he advised Trump not to do it.

01:40:46.500 So I don't know who would handle that instead, because I think that's kind of traditional

01:40:50.120 for the president to do that.

01:40:51.480 I don't think it is.

01:40:52.640 Certainly with Bush and after.

01:40:55.140 First of all, first of all, this is the first time we've ever had a war last this long.

01:41:00.560 I mean, we just haven't had we just haven't had this ongoing.

01:41:05.540 Vietnam was pretty long.

01:41:06.500 It was pretty long, but not as long as this.

01:41:08.260 Yeah.

01:41:08.360 But I mean, again, there's a lot more calls to happen in World War Two, even though it

01:41:11.320 might have been short.

01:41:12.100 I know that.

01:41:12.680 But but I'm but I'm saying there's no real pattern because three presidents in a row have

01:41:17.580 never had to deal with this.

01:41:18.980 Yeah.

01:41:19.440 You know what I mean?

01:41:20.080 It was FDR.

01:41:21.120 And then for a short period of time, Truman, that was the that was the longest, you know,

01:41:27.020 or it was not even as a war.

01:41:30.420 It was an action under Kennedy, then Johnson and ended in Nixon.

01:41:34.420 And so there wasn't as pattern of for a full term of a presidency, the next full term of

01:41:41.820 a presidency and a year into the next term.

01:41:45.120 Speaking of Bush, though, what were your thoughts on his speech yesterday?

01:41:48.680 I was a little irritated with him, too, because where were you the last eight years of the

01:41:53.100 country going downhill?

01:41:54.340 Where were you?

01:41:54.920 Because I really I content of the speech.

01:41:57.020 I liked.

01:41:57.640 Yeah.

01:41:57.860 I just wish I don't know why it's only showing up now.

01:42:00.800 Yeah.

01:42:01.020 I will tell you that I can't look at George W.

01:42:05.460 Bush and not think that.

01:42:07.420 Yeah.

01:42:07.960 It's impossible.

01:42:08.920 I really like you.

01:42:10.280 I respect him.

01:42:12.500 But, you know, and maybe it's now because he's it's not the guy he lost to.

01:42:18.560 But it bothers me that, you know, he's taking on one side, you know, and speaking out about

01:42:25.760 what's what he believes is wrong.

01:42:27.980 However, he also spoke out about the left yesterday.

01:42:31.460 It was not this, you know, it wasn't all about Trump, but it was partially about Trump.

01:42:36.760 And I don't remember it ever being about Obama.

01:42:38.720 I don't think it was about Trump.

01:42:40.400 I think it was really nationalism, nationalism and patriotism and how dangerous.

01:42:45.100 Yeah, but he was he was pinning that to Trump.

01:42:47.260 Oh, yeah.

01:42:48.160 Yes.

01:42:48.560 But he didn't say it was Donald Trump.

01:42:50.300 He wasn't taking on Donald Trump and saying, you know, his policies.

01:42:54.060 He's saying these these ideas are dangerous.

01:42:57.900 A little bit of of that of saying it's not about LeBron James.

01:43:01.080 It's just about the best player on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

01:43:03.640 Like, yeah, it is.

01:43:04.860 There is.

01:43:05.460 There's a lot of similarities there, obviously.

01:43:07.600 No, there's a big portion of the country that's starting to believe in nationalism and isolationism

01:43:12.600 and yeah, and I think populism.

01:43:15.520 I think he places that at Trump's door.

01:43:17.340 And I think so.

01:43:17.900 But I mean, like more purely, it's probably Bannon, right?

01:43:20.680 There's certainly parts of Trump's administration that are not doing that.

01:43:24.180 I mean, there's large parts of it that are doing a great job.

01:43:27.660 There's a lot.

01:43:28.120 I mean, there's a lot to like, especially with other represented.

01:43:31.200 I mean, the administration as a whole, to me, there's a lot to like.

01:43:33.920 I don't think Trump handles these things.

01:43:35.400 But I mean, I don't think I have heard a speech, you know, who could run in 2020 and

01:43:41.840 win is General Kelly right now.

01:43:44.820 Yeah.

01:43:45.020 I mean, I don't know.

01:43:46.400 I don't think I've heard a speech given by somebody in a position of power that was that

01:43:52.700 frank, honest, real.

01:43:56.220 It was powerful.

01:43:56.900 It was powerful.

01:43:58.360 It was really powerful.

01:44:00.280 And you just have respect for him.

01:44:02.040 He just commands respect and he knows you he's been there.

01:44:07.060 I mean, when he said yesterday about walking in Arlington Cemetery and he said, you know,

01:44:12.840 after this came out, I just had to get away and clear my head.

01:44:16.820 And so I had to go find something of honor.

01:44:19.860 And so I walked around among the men of honor and they're easy to find.

01:44:23.960 They're all laying there in Arlington Cemetery.

01:44:26.560 And he said, some of them I put there.

01:44:28.400 Right.

01:44:28.700 Because they were doing what I told them to.

01:44:30.240 Right.

01:44:30.460 He said, so I went just to clear my head and and try to center myself.

01:44:36.420 And I I walked among those that I put there, which was an amazing comment.

01:44:43.680 Yeah.

01:44:44.820 You watch Kelly and he's only started recently doing any press availability at all in the

01:44:51.300 last week or so.

01:44:52.340 But he is a he I think is a calming influence to the nation.

01:44:57.100 Like it's it's legitimately that big when you watch him, if you are because I think a lot

01:45:02.560 of people are like, oh, the policies for Trump are OK.

01:45:04.780 Some of them I like some of my don't.

01:45:06.160 But I just you know, he handles himself differently than any president in history.

01:45:10.480 I think we can all agree on that, whether you like him or not.

01:45:12.360 A lot of people that might be the reason you like him.

01:45:14.080 But if you don't like him at times that can make you feel uneasy.

01:45:17.940 But people, you know, you feel like if General Kelly's there and he's behind the scenes and

01:45:23.280 he's seeing the inner workings of this thing and he's not panicking.

01:45:27.980 You know, it makes you feel a little bit better, whether he actually isn't panicking or not.

01:45:32.060 I don't know.

01:45:32.280 It makes you feel better if you are of the mindset of, you know, of a conservative.

01:45:37.780 But listen to his language and then and then look at Jonathan Haidt's book where he talks

01:45:44.180 about how the the left does not speak the language of honor and sacredness and the basically

01:45:52.340 the only language he spoke.

01:45:54.160 So they don't relate to that.

01:45:55.200 And they don't they don't they don't see honor and and things as sacred the way the

01:46:01.340 the right does.

01:46:02.700 And so he was only speaking the language of one side yesterday.

01:46:06.220 I fear.

01:46:07.520 And I think he's too serious a candidate to win.

01:46:10.140 I think we're going the other way.

01:46:11.660 It'll probably be like carrot top next time.

01:46:15.040 I think I mean, look, the guy, he's in great shape.

01:46:18.440 First of all, for small government or big government?

01:46:20.560 He's just for dial down the middle.

01:46:22.520 That's all he wants to do is just dial down the middle.

01:46:24.760 That's a simple it's a platform.

01:46:26.760 We can all understand.

01:46:27.580 We can get our arms around.

01:46:28.520 It's an easy concept.

01:46:29.540 And I'm ready to vote for it.

01:46:31.560 I really am.

01:46:32.380 I'm ready to vote for it.

01:46:33.940 Dial down the middle.

01:46:34.820 OK, I can do that.

01:46:36.500 As long as as long as his ballot position is in the middle.

01:46:39.040 If not, it's going to be a real problem.

01:46:41.260 Yeah, it is.

01:46:45.680 If you had to vote right now, which Kardashian would you vote for president?

01:48:44.000 Glenn Beck.

01:48:45.320 So, as we are trying to figure things out and try to figure out how we stay away from

01:48:58.580 fraudulent stories, how do we tell the difference between truth and fiction, the government and

01:49:05.660 Facebook are here to save the day.

01:49:07.760 Yeah, I mean, obviously Facebook is great for a lot of things.

01:49:09.780 We do a, you know, behind the scenes stuff here on Facebook Live every day.

01:49:14.020 Follow Glenn Beck or Stu Bergeer and you can see it every single day.

01:49:17.800 There's a lot of great things that happen there.

01:49:19.360 But there's that controversy of the whole fake news thing.

01:49:21.620 What happened in the 2016 election?

01:49:23.420 And Facebook's trying to deal with that internally.

01:49:25.500 There's a new story from BuzzFeed today.

01:49:27.200 They talk about how Facebook has long been concerned about assuming any sort of media watchdog

01:49:31.480 role and the company's objection usually takes the form of its well-worn argument that

01:49:35.340 Facebook is a technology company, not a media company.

01:49:37.760 Okay, so stop.

01:49:39.260 This is the conversation.

01:49:40.760 Remember when all the conservatives came and I got bashed by all the conservatives because

01:49:44.620 this is what I heard Zuckerberg saying.

01:49:48.000 We're a technology company.

01:49:49.980 We don't, we have, we're in, what did he say, 160 different countries.

01:49:55.680 We don't know what's offensive in one culture and what's not offensive in another culture.

01:50:01.820 We have to know about all of the parties, all of the candidates in every country.

01:50:06.140 That's not possible.

01:50:07.080 And so you don't want us in there.

01:50:10.180 This, this, we're a technology company and that's what I heard Facebook saying.

01:50:15.680 But now Facebook is being pressured to, because of the Russia thing.

01:50:21.860 Yeah.

01:50:22.080 Sheryl Sandberg said, we hire engineers.

01:50:24.160 We don't hire reporters.

01:50:25.180 No one is a journalist.

01:50:26.160 We don't cover the news.

01:50:27.300 That's how they look at themselves, which I think is the right way for them to look at

01:50:30.120 themselves.

01:50:31.080 Antonio Garcia Martinez is a former Facebook employee who helped lead the company's early

01:50:35.240 ad platform.

01:50:36.080 He worries that the momentum to create, uh, to correct for what happened during the 2016

01:50:40.700 election will push Facebook a step too far.

01:50:43.720 Everyone fears Facebook's power.

01:50:45.360 And as a result, they're asking them to assume more power in form of human curation and editorial

01:50:50.840 decision-making.

01:50:51.780 Really bad.

01:50:52.040 I wonder that two or three years from now, we're all going to deeply regret.

01:50:56.860 We asked for this.

01:50:57.820 You are going to deeply regret it.

01:51:01.080 Yeah.

01:51:01.820 Deeply, deeply regret it.

01:51:03.520 You know, I think I said five or six years ago that Facebook is the new telephone, television,

01:51:15.480 talk radio, uh, bulletin board TV.

01:51:20.340 Yeah, it's, it's everything.

01:51:22.580 It's everything.

01:51:23.660 And you just have to look at it.

01:51:25.820 And I hate to use this word because once you use this word, then it's regulated, but it's

01:51:30.620 a utility.

01:51:31.220 It's not a, it's not anything other than a system of communication.

01:51:39.360 And it's why I'm so sick of opinions because for the, how many people on earth, 4 billion

01:51:45.620 people, 4 billion people, everybody has an opinion.

01:51:49.320 They're not all worth something.

01:51:51.180 They're not all worthwhile.

01:51:52.960 Not all of them are the same.

01:51:55.040 Some of them are wrong.

01:51:56.340 Some of them are crazy.

01:51:57.440 Some of them are right.

01:51:58.460 Some of them are, I don't know.

01:52:01.220 It's not all opinions are equal and everyone has an opinion and everyone wants to see their

01:52:09.460 likes go up.

01:52:10.480 So they augment their opinion and make it a little more outrageous or whatever.

01:52:16.160 It's up to us.

01:52:17.660 It's not up to Facebook.

01:52:18.800 It is up to us on how we use this.

01:52:22.420 Now, how do they protect us from people who are trying to influence our mind in a negative

01:52:30.340 way?

01:52:31.800 Well, I mean, out and out fraud is one thing, right?

01:52:36.600 Where you talk about the, the, the, the family that's going to leave their show and go to the

01:52:42.960 face cream industry and every, every ad on the internet, which isn't true.

01:52:45.980 Uh, the gains, um, it's like that sort of stuff.

01:52:50.240 You can understand them saying, okay, we know this is false, but there is that line, that line

01:52:55.360 will move.

01:52:56.140 They will include more things.

01:52:57.760 Well, I mean, you know, the, um, uh, Republicans, the Republicans of Kansas when it's actually

01:53:05.360 Russia.

01:53:06.520 Yeah.

01:53:07.020 Yeah.

01:53:07.400 That's a fraud.

01:53:08.300 I think it was Tennessee.

01:53:09.040 Yeah.

01:53:09.100 I mean, that was, there was a fraudulent account being operated by Russia and it was tweeting

01:53:13.140 things like as if it was a GOP source in, in Tennessee and it looked totally legit.

01:53:18.560 It wasn't, it was Russia.

01:53:20.420 Yeah.

01:53:20.580 And they were posting things about like Donald Trump and they were look at this crowd in

01:53:23.800 Cleveland and it was like the Cleveland Cavaliers celebration for their championship crowd.

01:53:27.860 Like it wasn't even a Trump crowd.

01:53:30.100 Uh, there's, there's fraud out there and it would be nice to have tools to try to fight

01:53:34.480 that, but you don't want Facebook making your decisions for you.

01:53:37.140 Neither did they.
