00:00:08.440 Welcome to the podcast, Stu, along with Mr. Glenn Beck.
00:00:12.580 You know, we should probably plan something for our tour.
00:00:16.000 You think so?
00:00:16.540 The tour happens next week in a city near you.
00:00:19.100 Yeah, glennbeck.com slash tour for tickets.
00:00:21.840 We have some stuff planned, but we probably need to finish that thing up.
00:00:25.580 Yeah, the people who are touring with us, you know, the tour company, if you will,
00:00:29.080 they've never done it before, and so they're freaking out, and they're like,
00:00:32.900 Glenn, you've got to, we don't know what you're even going to say,
00:00:36.080 and I'm like, we got it, we got it, we got it.
00:00:38.480 We need something written.
00:00:40.000 No, we don't really work that way.
00:00:41.980 Yeah.
00:00:42.620 We should probably have some idea what we're doing.
00:00:47.060 Well, we do have some idea, and that involves a lot of poking fun at the left.
00:00:53.340 Surprise.
00:00:54.120 So, yeah.
00:00:54.940 Yeah, it's the Addicted to Outrage tour.
00:00:56.640 It's happening in the next few weeks, so go to glennbeck.com slash tour, get your tickets.
00:01:01.580 There's a few left.
00:01:02.660 Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, I think Indiana maybe, and Florida is left still, so there's
00:01:14.380 lots of places to see us.
00:01:16.180 Join us, get your tickets now, glennbeck.com slash tour.
00:01:19.840 We talked with the, started the show talking about pipe bombs, because that's the big story.
00:01:25.660 Obviously, all these bombs all over the place, none of them actually doing the things that
00:01:30.100 bombs are supposed to do, but they did look like bombs, for sure.
00:01:33.440 Well, kind of in a cartoon sort of way.
00:01:36.680 I've dubbed this pipe bomber, Wile E. Coyote, and we explain right at the top.
00:01:43.980 Also, we could talk about Megyn Kelly.
00:01:46.000 She's getting a lot of heat now over comments she made about Halloween costumes, and they
00:01:52.680 are now going to push her out of NBC, it looks like.
00:01:54.920 The amazing hypocrisy from the media and the left and NBC over the story.
00:02:01.180 It's just...
00:02:02.020 I don't...
00:02:02.840 I mean, I don't...
00:02:04.180 Hypocrisy at NBC?
00:02:05.620 I know, it's crazy.
00:02:06.280 It's a little strange that they were...
00:02:08.520 That she was the most outspoken on the sexual harassment cases at NBC that they wanted to
00:02:15.420 sweep under the rug.
00:02:16.880 They were just waiting for a way to butcher Megyn Kelly.
00:02:20.320 And the migrant caravan still coming.
00:02:22.840 We have Senator Mike Leon to talk about the latest on that as well.
00:02:26.320 Don't want to miss it.
00:02:27.120 It's all in today's podcast.
00:02:28.640 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:41.620 It's Thursday, October 25th.
00:02:44.160 Brick House Nutrition, they do a great job because they do two things for you.
00:02:48.020 Yeah.
00:02:48.420 One, they get you the vegetables you're supposed to have.
00:02:51.940 Yes.
00:02:52.140 Mommy told you to eat your vegetables, you never do it.
00:02:54.440 And that's why Field of Greens is created.
00:02:56.300 You just put a scoop into like a smoothie or, you know, whatever you're eating or drinking.
00:03:00.800 Juice.
00:03:01.520 You don't have to...
00:03:02.320 You don't have to have a salad.
00:03:04.640 You don't have to have broccoli.
00:03:06.080 You don't have to have Brussels sprouts.
00:03:07.440 You don't have to have any of it.
00:03:08.880 I'm such a fan of this.
00:03:10.280 Yeah.
00:03:10.640 It's a great idea.
00:03:11.640 It's a hall pass on the vegetable thing.
00:03:14.120 And then they also have Dawn to Dusk, which is great if you are the type of person who goes
00:03:17.840 through long meetings with someone like Glenn Beck in the middle of the day and have
00:03:20.720 to somehow stay awake and aware.
00:03:21.720 Believe me, I'm the one who falls asleep with meetings with you.
00:03:24.940 You'll like this a lot.

00:03:42.480 Nine...
00:03:43.400 Are we really going to start like that?
00:03:48.360 Is Daffy Duck hosting the show today?
00:03:50.120 Nine suspicious packages and eight, eight extremely ridiculous looking improvised explosive devices
00:04:02.640 or E-R-L-I-E-Ds.
00:04:06.220 Eight have been counted so far.
00:04:09.080 The Clintons, the Obamas, Eric Holder, John Brennan, care of CNN, Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
00:04:16.520 George Soros, Maxine Waters, and Robert De Niro.
00:04:20.380 All recipients of these extremely ridiculous IEDs.
00:04:27.040 So, first, all of these pipe bombs.
00:04:33.000 To get an accurate comparison, you'd have to watch a Warner Brothers Saturday morning cartoon
00:04:39.060 to see anything even remotely close.
00:04:42.920 This...
00:04:43.340 I'm shocked that they don't say Acme Bomb on it.
00:04:49.540 Pipe bombs are made from steel.
00:04:51.720 Why?
00:04:54.520 The reason steel is used, because the entire purpose of the bomb is to utilize the steel
00:05:01.040 shrapnel when it explodes.
00:05:03.780 You put the explosive inside the pipe.
00:05:07.200 When it blows up, the pipe breaks up, and you have shards that tear people apart.
00:05:13.000 Well, the attacker who the press is saying has a real level of sophistication.
00:05:26.140 In what world?
00:05:28.640 This attacker who I'm giving the codename Wile E. Coyote has made his bomb out of plastic PVC pipe.
00:05:38.180 Plastic.
00:05:39.100 So, when it blows up, it vaporizes the plastic.
00:05:45.520 It defeats the entire purpose of a pipe bomb.
00:05:50.600 Also, the devices had protruding wires coming out of the PVC pipe with a big, ridiculous-looking digital timer taped to it.
00:06:02.380 Again, this is not something...
00:06:04.940 You go on the internet.
00:06:06.620 It never shows you to build a bomb this way.
00:06:11.180 All of the wires in the detonator usually concealed inside the pipe.
00:06:16.460 I don't know.
00:06:17.480 Goes through an x-ray machine.
00:06:19.280 You see a big metal pipe.
00:06:21.200 Probably is not going to make it to whoever it is you're sending, unless you're sending it to their home.
00:06:26.840 But if you have a long pipe-like thing, and it shows wires, and in the x-ray you can see that there's a timer on the outside, it's definitely not going anywhere.
00:06:41.180 This is Wile E. Coyote leaving eight overly large sticks of dynamite with a big alarm clock lashed to it with the words ACME BOMB stamped on the outside.
00:06:55.740 But where our bomber really messed up is he didn't leave a big plate of birdseed next to the envelope.
00:07:11.200 If he would have had that, success.
00:07:15.120 I didn't even mention the fact that a parody ISIS flag was taped to the device, which is...
00:07:24.120 It was a right-wing meme.
00:07:26.840 Now, let's go over this.
00:07:30.140 So you've got a plastic pipe.
00:07:32.120 You have an ACME-style bomb.
00:07:35.880 None of them have gone off.
00:07:37.980 And you took the time to print a meme that has the ISIS flag, and underneath it, it's a quote from Larry the Cable Guy that says,
00:07:50.660 Get her done.
00:07:52.560 Except, none of your bombs get it done.
00:07:57.720 None.
00:07:59.280 They've had zero chance of making it through security screening.
00:08:04.540 And Wile E. Coyote, I think, must have known that.
00:08:08.920 At some point, the Coyote's got to go,
00:08:12.600 This damn roadrunner keeps getting away.
00:08:16.080 Maybe it's me.
00:08:19.120 Do you think Hillary Clinton actually personally checks her mailbox every time?
00:08:23.600 You know, to see if her Amazon Prime order came in?
00:08:26.180 Do you think George Soros does?
00:08:28.800 Every person that has been sent one of these packages has mail screening.
00:08:33.120 These devices were not designed to kill, but to be detected, caught, and seen.
00:08:43.500 Wile E. Coyote wanted a media circus, and boy, did he get one.
00:08:49.220 Now, I am not going to speculate whether Wile E. really is from the right or from the left.
00:08:56.840 I don't know.
00:08:57.960 There's a lot of nutjobs out that are looking to change narratives before the midterms.
00:09:04.780 No one knows yet.
00:09:06.340 This could be a kid that just thought this would be funny.
00:09:11.140 Again, there's no chance these bombs would go off.
00:09:14.980 So maybe it's a kid.
00:09:18.180 Maybe it's a guy who's so screwed up, he just doesn't even know what he's doing.
00:09:24.380 There's also the possibility someone knew exactly what they were doing
00:09:28.400 and wanted to send a message one way or the other.
00:09:33.080 This, however, is not stopping the left from jumping on this.
00:09:39.520 I mean, you never let a crisis go to waste.
00:09:41.880 By noon yesterday, we hadn't even found all the bombs.
00:09:45.480 By noon yesterday, Paul Waldman of the Washington Post already had an article out
00:09:51.560 blaming Donald Trump.
00:09:53.720 Quote,
00:09:54.080 Given what Trump has done and said, this was absolutely predictable.
00:09:59.180 In fact, it's a wonder that it took this long.
00:10:02.740 It's not just that Trump advocates violence against his political opponents,
00:10:07.700 though he does.
00:10:09.460 It's everything about his rhetoric that pushes his supporters in that direction.
00:10:14.200 You know what?
00:10:17.020 This coming from the same guy that if it is ever found out that it is a left-wing guy
00:10:22.940 or just a crazy person, they will never report that.
00:10:29.900 Could I ask when the president has actually called for violence?
00:10:35.880 Now, you could say in some of his campaign rallies where he's like,
00:10:40.660 rough them up.
00:10:41.660 Okay, I'll give you that.
00:10:42.900 Okay.
00:10:44.700 Calling the media fake news is not calling for violence.
00:10:50.840 I don't like it, but that's not calling for violence.
00:10:55.940 Encouraging your electorate to harass people in their homes, their restaurants,
00:11:01.920 places of business, Maxine Waters.
00:11:06.140 Isn't that the equivalent of calling for violence?
00:11:09.480 Declaring the end of civility?
00:11:11.040 Hillary Clinton.
00:11:12.540 I mean, I could go on.
00:11:14.200 But we all know the left's narrative, and you heard it again yesterday,
00:11:18.640 and it will continue until the midterms is over.
00:11:24.160 Many of our friends in the left-leaning mainstream media were just utterly shocked that this kind of attack occurred.
00:11:40.600 One person remarked how they'd never seen anything like this directed at just one side of the spectrum.
00:11:49.440 First of all, that would force one to deny that the latest pipe bomb was sent to Mike Pence.
00:11:58.280 But I don't know how hard it is for you to go back so deep in your memory bank.
00:12:12.160 You might need a hypnotist or therapist to bring this memory back.
00:12:16.600 It's so long ago.
00:12:19.120 Oh, wait a minute.
00:12:21.120 No, it was just a couple of weeks ago.
00:12:22.600 The Rice and Letters just sent to the White House.
00:12:26.080 James Mattis, FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Gina Haspel, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson,
00:12:33.880 Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson.
00:12:36.400 Did you just happen to forget about all of those, or should I take you back to the baseball diamond, which was way back?
00:12:45.200 I mean, how old were you in 2017?
00:12:48.380 I barely remember.
00:12:49.820 Was I walking at the time?
00:12:52.200 I don't even know.
00:12:55.220 And as far as the identity of Wile E. Coyote,
00:12:59.480 for those of you in the mainstream media, it's really best not to speculate.
00:13:04.120 If you don't know, you should say you don't know.
00:13:12.580 Here's who I think this is.
00:13:15.660 I don't know.
00:13:18.540 There's no evidence on anything.
00:13:23.040 Everything is speculation.
00:13:26.700 And if I would say,
00:13:28.380 I think this is a left-wing person trying to ramp everybody up.
00:13:33.580 What would that do?
00:13:35.960 That would juice the people listening.
00:13:40.900 And they'd say,
00:13:42.380 Oh my gosh, that's exactly right.
00:13:45.780 So, why is it you feel so comfortable
00:13:49.580 demonizing Donald Trump
00:13:52.440 and all of his supporters?
00:13:54.480 And blaming this on Donald Trump
00:13:58.020 and all of his supporters
00:13:59.560 when you have nothing
00:14:01.900 but a cartoon bomb.
00:14:08.220 You know,
00:14:09.300 if you just get on and say,
00:14:11.560 we don't have the facts,
00:14:12.820 let's wait for the facts.
00:14:16.420 You do something like that
00:14:18.660 and something crazy happens.
00:14:21.040 It's almost unthinkable.
00:14:24.980 You can actually keep
00:14:27.080 or begin to rebuild
00:14:28.560 something,
00:14:29.740 I know it's old-timey,
00:14:31.060 called credibility.
00:14:32.820 But you'd have to be
00:14:36.700 you'd have to be interested
00:14:38.760 in having some credibility
00:14:41.360 to be able to
00:14:43.820 gain it.
00:14:45.380 Jason Buttrell,
00:14:46.520 who is with us,
00:14:47.900 he is
00:14:49.020 former
00:14:51.160 military intel,
00:14:55.880 knows a little something about
00:14:57.720 bombs and IEDs.
00:15:00.300 Jason,
00:15:01.880 how ridiculous
00:15:02.960 is this bomb?
00:15:04.560 The most ridiculous
00:15:05.520 looking bomb
00:15:06.240 I've ever seen.
00:15:07.380 When we first looked at it,
00:15:09.120 I think I was reading
00:15:09.660 a tweet by Jake Tapper
00:15:11.120 and he was talking about
00:15:12.260 how these were designed
00:15:13.100 for mass murder.
00:15:14.540 And I was looking at it
00:15:16.100 and I was like,
00:15:17.440 no, not really.
00:15:18.740 I mean,
00:15:19.000 you were just talking about it.
00:15:20.720 It's plastic,
00:15:21.400 which defeats the entire purpose
00:15:22.740 of a pipe bomb.
00:15:23.720 The shrapnel is what's dangerous
00:15:25.040 in a pipe bomb.
00:15:26.000 The explosives inside
00:15:27.080 are just to make it like
00:15:28.100 basically build pressure.
00:15:29.200 So usually it's
00:15:30.520 potassium nitrate,
00:15:32.060 I think charcoal.
00:15:33.280 Okay, we don't need to get
00:15:34.100 people through a how-to guide.
00:15:37.880 But there's another ingredient
00:15:39.080 that they actually talked about,
00:15:40.260 which is,
00:15:40.880 again,
00:15:41.720 that goes towards
00:15:42.280 the detonation of it,
00:15:43.680 that they said they did
00:15:44.640 detect some of that in there,
00:15:46.280 but they didn't talk about
00:15:47.000 the other ingredients.
00:15:48.240 So,
00:15:48.600 again,
00:15:49.460 everything is so speculative
00:15:51.500 about it,
00:15:52.000 but everything points to a guy
00:15:53.340 that really did not know
00:15:54.360 what he was doing.
00:15:55.880 Or?
00:15:57.240 Or?
00:15:58.360 Somebody who did know
00:15:59.540 what they're doing,
00:16:00.260 but they didn't want
00:16:01.380 it to work.
00:16:03.340 Right.
00:16:03.920 It had no,
00:16:04.380 I mean,
00:16:04.640 you're looking at this thing,
00:16:05.780 there was,
00:16:06.320 you know,
00:16:06.640 and I've also spent
00:16:07.360 some time in security.
00:16:08.840 All the people that they sent
00:16:10.400 these packages to,
00:16:12.420 they have screening services,
00:16:13.800 whether it's the Secret Service,
00:16:15.280 private security,
00:16:16.400 or like places like CNN,
00:16:17.760 all media companies
00:16:18.620 have the same thing.
00:16:19.820 You would think
00:16:21.100 that this person would know.
00:16:22.320 Well,
00:16:22.560 there's no chance
00:16:23.380 this gets to them.
00:16:24.080 The coverage I heard yesterday
00:16:25.100 was this was a sign
00:16:26.260 of how advanced
00:16:27.560 and serious
00:16:28.440 this situation was.
00:16:29.540 There was a level
00:16:30.200 of sophistication.
00:16:31.440 A level of sophistication
00:16:32.160 because he had sent,
00:16:34.080 or she,
00:16:35.020 by the way,
00:16:36.060 he or she
00:16:36.740 had sent,
00:16:37.160 I was a white man,
00:16:38.060 had sent
00:16:38.560 some of these bombs
00:16:40.460 to home offices
00:16:42.560 and residences
00:16:44.120 where there wouldn't be
00:16:45.040 the screening
00:16:45.500 rather than sending them
00:16:46.400 through like the
00:16:46.880 congressional mail service,
00:16:49.620 which would definitely
00:16:50.280 be screened.
00:16:50.660 Well,
00:16:50.860 can I tell you something?
00:16:51.620 I know this is true
00:16:52.700 because I've seen pictures
00:16:54.460 and you can just imagine
00:16:55.480 Hillary Clinton coming out
00:16:56.500 in her bathrobe
00:16:57.140 and her fuzzy slippers
00:16:58.020 with a cigarette
00:16:58.640 hanging from her mouth
00:16:59.540 and she gets the paper
00:17:00.900 and the mail every day
00:17:02.520 when she gets up.
00:17:03.560 Whose home did it go to?
00:17:05.160 Did it have a screen?
00:17:06.240 Clinton,
00:17:06.660 Soros,
00:17:07.160 for sure.
00:17:08.020 Soros.
00:17:08.880 Both of them have
00:17:09.820 private security.
00:17:10.620 Of course.
00:17:11.120 Or Secret Service
00:17:11.880 at their homes.
00:17:12.420 Right.
00:17:13.140 They get all their mail.
00:17:14.580 You have private security.
00:17:16.160 You don't get your mail.
00:17:16.900 I don't.
00:17:17.120 We never open our mailbox.
00:17:19.280 I remember one time
00:17:20.420 my kids went to open
00:17:21.680 the mailbox.
00:17:22.180 I said,
00:17:22.440 do not open the mailbox.
00:17:23.840 Don't open the mailbox.
00:17:26.020 Scary world for these kids.
00:17:27.100 It is.
00:17:27.480 Who are those people
00:17:28.100 referring to?
00:17:28.840 I don't know all the addresses.
00:17:30.680 Again,
00:17:30.880 like it was just the coverage
00:17:31.780 and that was one of their,
00:17:32.760 they were saying that this was,
00:17:34.140 I guess Debbie Wasserman Schultz,
00:17:35.720 they sent it.
00:17:36.960 Now she is,
00:17:38.140 I mean,
00:17:38.340 she's not even in Congress
00:17:39.400 anymore,
00:17:39.720 right?
00:17:39.960 So,
00:17:40.660 but she,
00:17:41.740 they sent her to the office
00:17:43.380 that it was sent back
00:17:44.880 to her office,
00:17:45.720 they said was one
00:17:46.500 that would maybe not
00:17:47.260 have screening.
00:17:47.860 I don't,
00:17:48.660 I didn't,
00:17:49.080 I didn't fact check
00:17:49.980 their claim,
00:17:50.960 but that was what
00:17:52.140 they were attempting
00:17:52.860 to pass off
00:17:54.480 as sophistication.
00:17:55.340 Now I,
00:17:55.660 I've never built a bomb.
00:17:57.200 No,
00:17:57.460 don't intend to
00:17:58.400 in my life,
00:17:59.240 but it,
00:18:01.500 would you say
00:18:02.460 that you would make
00:18:03.760 it plastic
00:18:04.220 to get past screening?
00:18:05.460 Because if you put
00:18:05.900 a big metal pipe,
00:18:06.600 it's going to be
00:18:07.080 more obvious,
00:18:07.780 right?
00:18:07.900 If you did it,
00:18:08.680 if you did it
00:18:09.320 to get past screening,
00:18:10.680 that's good,
00:18:11.380 but that shows
00:18:12.160 that you have no idea
00:18:13.840 what you're even doing.
00:18:14.840 You're not even,
00:18:15.480 you're there,
00:18:16.640 you have a very low IQ
00:18:18.440 or you're,
00:18:20.380 or you're,
00:18:22.060 you know,
00:18:22.860 a young kid
00:18:24.680 that just thought
00:18:25.280 it was funny.
00:18:26.660 I don't even know,
00:18:27.860 but it shows
00:18:28.860 that you do not
00:18:29.700 understand why
00:18:30.960 a pipe bomb
00:18:32.300 is destructive.
00:18:33.160 But the answer is no.
00:18:34.200 A plastic PVC pipe bomb,
00:18:35.900 it will not get you,
00:18:36.780 it'll still be detected
00:18:37.560 because,
00:18:38.020 and that's why he had the,
00:18:39.040 in my opinion,
00:18:39.740 that's why he had the wires
00:18:40.640 and the big ridiculous,
00:18:41.620 basically equivalent
00:18:42.160 of alarm clock
00:18:42.840 taped to this stupid thing
00:18:43.940 was because like,
00:18:45.020 you've seen like
00:18:45.780 at the airport,
00:18:46.400 like sometimes you're like,
00:18:47.280 hey,
00:18:47.420 maybe I can slip in
00:18:48.300 this bottle of water,
00:18:49.360 you know,
00:18:49.640 like,
00:18:49.980 you know,
00:18:50.960 like there's no slipping
00:18:51.960 this past the screening.
00:18:53.340 Right.
00:18:53.520 It's that obvious.
00:18:54.340 It's that obvious.
00:18:55.280 I think too,
00:18:55.660 the other two things
00:18:56.200 that back this up
00:18:56.980 are one,
00:18:58.460 you made it in a way
00:19:00.560 that was so,
00:19:01.320 none of them blew up,
00:19:02.440 right?
00:19:02.660 Like,
00:19:03.140 again,
00:19:03.600 you sent 10 bombs
00:19:04.780 around the country,
00:19:05.320 none of them explode,
00:19:06.800 right?
00:19:07.040 Like,
00:19:07.260 so it seems to be
00:19:08.140 that maybe you didn't
00:19:08.760 want them to explode,
00:19:09.620 possibly.
00:19:10.360 The other part is,
00:19:11.340 why do you put a sticker
00:19:12.540 with a meme on there?
00:19:15.100 Unless it's not going
00:19:16.080 to explode
00:19:16.460 and people are going
00:19:16.840 to be able to see it.
00:19:17.520 And I want to get into that
00:19:18.460 and I also want to ask
00:19:19.300 the question,
00:19:19.900 why would you put
00:19:20.740 an alarm clock on it
00:19:22.100 in the mail?
00:19:23.360 You don't know
00:19:24.020 when it's going off.
00:19:25.020 You don't know where it's going.
00:19:25.980 Why is there a clock
00:19:27.020 on this thing?
00:19:30.040 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:38.740 Well,
00:19:39.180 of course,
00:19:39.740 there should be skepticism.
00:19:40.800 We've had these,
00:19:41.260 these things have happened
00:19:42.240 a hundred times.
00:19:43.320 Unbelievable.
00:19:43.940 Someone just,
00:19:44.620 listen to this.
00:19:45.600 I suppose he thinks
00:19:46.760 the communists
00:19:47.940 didn't set fire
00:19:49.140 to the Reichstag as well.
00:19:51.320 I mean,
00:19:52.100 you of course
00:19:53.400 take a moment to consider
00:19:54.500 and there's no reason
00:19:55.640 to come to a conclusion
00:19:56.820 because we have no idea
00:19:58.480 at this point.
00:19:59.500 But you,
00:20:00.060 these statements
00:20:00.900 that have come out
00:20:01.460 from CNN
00:20:02.080 and,
00:20:03.480 you know,
00:20:03.840 people just outwardly
00:20:05.120 blaming
00:20:05.640 the right
00:20:07.220 and Donald Trump
00:20:07.940 for this.
00:20:09.100 Look,
00:20:09.440 I don't,
00:20:09.860 first of all,
00:20:10.780 you can't blame
00:20:11.460 Donald Trump
00:20:12.780 for the act
00:20:13.300 unless you think
00:20:13.820 he actually was responsible.
00:20:15.520 Does anyone think
00:20:16.000 that he actually
00:20:16.700 sent the bombs
00:20:17.600 and brought them
00:20:18.120 to George Soros's house?
00:20:19.520 Well,
00:20:19.580 no,
00:20:19.860 but I think Ivanka
00:20:20.760 might have.
00:20:22.260 Unless you think
00:20:22.920 he's actually responsible,
00:20:23.920 you're responsible
00:20:24.380 for your own actions.
00:20:25.420 We know that.
00:20:26.320 But beyond that,
00:20:26.920 if you're going to,
00:20:27.560 you have to look at this
00:20:28.760 in some,
00:20:29.540 with some level
00:20:31.040 of skepticism
00:20:32.240 to try to understand.
00:20:33.360 We are a week
00:20:33.960 before an election,
00:20:35.300 right?
00:20:35.540 Or less than two weeks
00:20:36.460 at least.
00:20:37.520 You know,
00:20:37.960 the idea that
00:20:38.860 the left
00:20:40.500 would be victimized
00:20:41.340 by this hatred
00:20:42.100 of Donald Trump,
00:20:43.360 there's an obvious
00:20:44.180 incentive
00:20:44.780 to make America
00:20:46.540 feel that way
00:20:47.500 right now.
00:20:48.480 That does not mean
00:20:49.340 that this was
00:20:49.880 someone trying
00:20:51.000 to frame the right.
00:20:52.140 It absolutely could be.
00:20:53.660 There are nut jobs
00:20:54.620 on the right
00:20:55.180 that could do this
00:20:56.140 and probably
00:20:56.820 many of them
00:20:57.660 stupid enough
00:20:58.500 to get none
00:20:59.100 of the bombs
00:20:59.440 to go off.
00:21:00.400 It's certainly possible,
00:21:01.800 but they are acting
00:21:02.960 as if you have
00:21:03.740 to be Alex Jones
00:21:04.960 to not believe
00:21:06.140 this is Donald Trump's fault.
00:21:07.800 You do not have
00:21:08.480 to be Alex Jones
00:21:09.240 to look at this
00:21:09.760 with some skeptical eye.
00:21:11.580 Not to say that,
00:21:12.740 you know,
00:21:13.600 that it's a,
00:21:15.960 since you're proving anything,
00:21:17.400 but you have to
00:21:18.160 at least keep your mind
00:21:19.180 open to the idea
00:21:20.460 that there are nut jobs
00:21:21.480 on both sides
00:21:22.360 with crazy motivations
00:21:23.820 in an intense time.
00:21:26.040 Look what they did
00:21:26.800 to freaking Kavanaugh.
00:21:28.120 You had people saying
00:21:28.940 he was a gang rapist
00:21:30.320 to stop it.
00:21:31.400 Here's the amazing thing.
00:21:33.240 Do you remember
00:21:33.780 the time
00:21:34.380 right after 9-11
00:21:35.500 for the first few years
00:21:36.800 when something
00:21:38.060 would be sad,
00:21:38.980 something would happen,
00:21:39.700 and we would hope
00:21:41.700 that it was somebody
00:21:43.380 from the Middle East?
00:21:44.500 Remember that?
00:21:45.160 Where we didn't want
00:21:47.060 it to be an American,
00:21:48.400 no matter which side
00:21:49.940 they were on.
00:21:50.660 We didn't want
00:21:51.560 that to happen.
00:21:53.040 Now,
00:21:53.820 we just are
00:21:55.620 dogpiling on
00:21:57.520 it's them.
00:21:59.320 It's them.
00:22:00.080 Whichever them
00:22:00.920 you,
00:22:01.680 you know,
00:22:02.260 helps your political position.
00:22:03.660 It's them.
00:22:05.340 We don't even
00:22:06.720 consider
00:22:07.480 anything else.
00:22:08.720 We don't even
00:22:09.240 consider
00:22:09.900 that,
00:22:11.140 I don't know,
00:22:12.420 maybe the Russians
00:22:13.740 are involved.
00:22:15.000 Maybe
00:22:15.560 this is just
00:22:17.000 an outside influence.
00:22:19.780 Probably not.
00:22:21.120 But we're not
00:22:21.860 even considering it.
00:22:23.400 We have
00:22:23.880 zero evidence
00:22:25.240 of anything.
00:22:26.360 and everyone
00:22:27.760 is,
00:22:28.460 the media
00:22:29.060 is just
00:22:29.960 condemning
00:22:30.580 the right.
00:22:31.420 You have
00:22:31.940 no evidence.
00:22:33.600 And I guarantee
00:22:34.260 you,
00:22:35.000 if they find
00:22:35.700 this guy
00:22:36.200 and he is
00:22:37.660 mentally disturbed
00:22:39.240 and has
00:22:40.000 no real
00:22:41.260 understanding
00:22:42.020 of anything
00:22:42.720 that he's doing
00:22:43.520 or he's left,
00:22:45.480 you will not
00:22:46.320 hear that.
00:22:47.100 They will change
00:22:48.160 the narrative
00:22:48.780 immediately to,
00:22:50.600 well,
00:22:50.900 this kind of thing
00:22:52.020 happens and it
00:22:53.000 happens all the time
00:22:54.040 and it could happen
00:22:55.140 where it did go off
00:22:57.480 and it could happen
00:22:58.920 where it is
00:22:59.740 a right-wing extremist.
00:23:01.580 They'll just
00:23:02.020 change the narrative.
00:23:03.120 It won't slow
00:23:04.100 them down
00:23:04.800 at all.
00:23:06.380 What did you think?
00:23:07.240 What's the part
00:23:07.820 of this that's
00:23:08.400 getting your attention,
00:23:12.340 Pat?
00:23:12.920 Well,
00:23:13.440 first of all,
00:23:14.120 the fact that none
00:23:14.680 of them have gone off.
00:23:15.660 Yeah.
00:23:16.060 And the list
00:23:17.700 of the people
00:23:18.300 involved, too.
00:23:19.240 It is pretty
00:23:19.920 stereotypical
00:23:21.980 right-wing
00:23:23.640 targets.
00:23:24.460 I have dubbed
00:23:25.440 this bomber
00:23:26.320 codenamed
00:23:27.880 Wile E. Coyote.
00:23:29.740 The only thing
00:23:30.960 he didn't do
00:23:31.960 is leave a plate
00:23:33.060 of birdseed
00:23:34.260 next to it.
00:23:35.180 Yeah.
00:23:35.500 I mean,
00:23:35.760 it's so obvious.
00:23:37.060 It's cartoonish.
00:23:38.260 To start
00:23:38.860 with George Soros
00:23:40.200 and to include
00:23:43.200 Robert De Niro
00:23:44.260 and all of these
00:23:46.320 Maxine Waters,
00:23:48.660 all of the typical
00:23:49.640 plays,
00:23:50.280 it's just too
00:23:50.860 convenient.
00:23:51.380 It's too much.
00:23:52.040 They don't go off
00:23:53.400 and it's that
00:23:54.240 perfect list
00:23:55.460 of the people
00:23:56.260 that the right
00:23:56.940 really doesn't like.
00:23:58.820 That perfect list.
00:24:00.040 It's a cartoon list.
00:24:01.780 It is.
00:24:02.120 It's a cartoon list.
00:24:03.740 It is.
00:24:04.980 Now,
00:24:05.440 so it could,
00:24:06.640 don't get me wrong,
00:24:08.900 and I think
00:24:09.360 you're probably
00:24:09.740 saying this, too,
00:24:10.520 it could be.
00:24:11.600 It could be a left,
00:24:13.020 a right-wing person.
00:24:14.320 It could be
00:24:14.680 a right-wing person.
00:24:15.820 We have no idea.
00:24:17.000 But if it is
00:24:17.680 a right-wing person,
00:24:18.620 they live in
00:24:20.220 a cartoon world.
00:24:21.400 Yeah,
00:24:21.700 they're ridiculous.
00:24:22.400 They're ridiculous.
00:24:24.380 They're so inept
00:24:26.060 that they can't
00:24:27.180 make a bomb.
00:24:27.720 They don't even
00:24:28.160 understand why
00:24:28.980 you wouldn't use
00:24:29.600 plastic for a pipe bomb.
00:24:31.300 That,
00:24:32.180 much to CNN's
00:24:33.720 chagrin
00:24:34.280 when they said
00:24:34.960 yesterday,
00:24:36.000 well,
00:24:36.540 it shows a level
00:24:37.340 of sophistication.
00:24:38.620 No,
00:24:38.880 it doesn't.
00:24:39.780 There's no level
00:24:40.860 of sophistication here.
00:24:42.320 None of them
00:24:42.680 went off.
00:24:43.480 Again,
00:24:44.160 there's no,
00:24:44.960 if you can't get
00:24:45.460 one of the ten
00:24:46.480 to go off,
00:24:47.300 what level
00:24:47.660 of sophistication
00:24:48.420 do you have?
00:24:49.160 It's pretty low.
00:24:50.120 And it's so cartoonish.
00:24:51.860 There's no level
00:24:52.780 of sophistication.
00:24:54.700 I like this.
00:24:55.380 Can you guys help me
00:24:56.280 figure out the needle
00:24:57.860 CNN is attempting
00:24:59.480 to thread here?
00:25:00.960 They write,
00:25:01.840 this is from
00:25:02.640 Brian Stelter's newsletter.
00:25:03.900 Oh,
00:25:04.160 jeez.
00:25:04.680 Most of the recipients
00:25:05.520 were prominent Democrats.
00:25:07.260 Or as the Washington Post
00:25:08.740 succinctly put it,
00:25:09.880 amid incendiary rhetoric,
00:25:11.720 targets of Trump's words
00:25:13.080 become targets of bombs.
00:25:15.480 That's not the same
00:25:16.660 as blaming Trump.
00:25:18.140 Wait,
00:25:18.840 like many people
00:25:19.700 on TV on Wednesday,
00:25:20.620 I specifically said
00:25:21.360 I wasn't blaming Trump
00:25:22.340 for the crimes
00:25:22.860 of a madman,
00:25:23.600 but news industry
00:25:25.660 executives have
00:25:26.460 repeatedly warned
00:25:27.480 that Trump's reckless
00:25:28.640 attacks against the media
00:25:29.960 are having real-world
00:25:31.740 consequences.
00:25:32.720 Yeah,
00:25:32.980 none of Maxine Waters'
00:25:34.800 words are having
00:25:35.820 any kind of consequences,
00:25:37.020 are they?
00:25:37.620 None of those.
00:25:38.720 No,
00:25:39.080 well,
00:25:39.660 no matter at all.
00:25:40.260 these aren't mobs.
00:25:41.440 These are not mobs.
00:25:42.460 These are just people
00:25:43.680 gathering together
00:25:44.820 who are very passionate
00:25:46.920 about what they believe in.
00:25:48.300 In fact,
00:25:48.320 I don't even want you
00:25:48.980 to utter the word mob.
00:25:49.960 Right.
00:25:50.600 I'm not going to call it
00:25:50.860 the M word.
00:25:51.380 And how dare you
00:25:52.400 even say Antifa
00:25:53.520 is a problem?
00:25:55.040 Antifa's not a problem.
00:25:56.720 If reckless,
00:25:57.520 we're talking about a bombing,
00:25:59.600 reckless attacks
00:26:00.400 against the media
00:26:01.060 are having real-world
00:26:01.980 consequences.
00:26:02.760 What are the real-world
00:26:03.840 consequences you're
00:26:04.620 talking about?
00:26:05.860 On the day of
00:26:07.240 the bomb showing up.
00:26:08.540 Right,
00:26:08.880 in the middle of a paragraph
00:26:09.960 about the bombing
00:26:10.940 and how harsh rhetoric
00:26:12.740 can lead to bombings,
00:26:13.980 you're saying you're
00:26:14.840 not blaming him,
00:26:15.840 but you're also pointing out
00:26:16.880 that his words
00:26:17.480 have real-world consequences.
00:26:19.460 Like,
00:26:19.660 of course you're blaming him.
00:26:21.080 Just come out
00:26:21.580 and admit it.
00:26:22.380 Just come out
00:26:22.960 and admit it.
00:26:28.180 You're listening to
00:26:29.100 the best
00:26:29.680 of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:26:30.700 Like listening
00:26:40.920 to this podcast?
00:26:42.040 If you're not a subscriber,
00:26:43.540 become one now
00:26:44.240 on iTunes.
00:26:45.260 And while you're there,
00:26:46.180 do us a favor
00:26:46.840 and rate the show.
00:26:47.980 Well,
00:26:48.480 we're less than a week
00:26:50.040 from Halloween,
00:26:50.900 so you know
00:26:51.360 what that means.
00:26:52.040 It's time for
00:26:53.080 the political police
00:26:54.900 to come out.
00:26:55.760 The cultural appropriation
00:26:57.860 political police.
00:26:58.840 They have to scour
00:26:59.960 every Halloween party
00:27:01.160 for culturally
00:27:01.920 insensitive costumes
00:27:03.400 and microaggressions.
00:27:05.040 Prepare to be
00:27:05.940 not scared,
00:27:06.920 offended.
00:27:07.780 Well,
00:27:08.400 actually,
00:27:09.540 unless you're part
00:27:11.000 of the,
00:27:11.960 you know,
00:27:12.440 new progressive,
00:27:14.020 new post-modern movement,
00:27:17.240 if you're a part of that,
00:27:18.900 prepare to be offended.
00:27:19.820 If you're not part of that,
00:27:20.820 you should be afraid
00:27:22.020 this Halloween
00:27:22.780 because they're out
00:27:24.600 to destroy you.
00:27:26.640 What would a holiday
00:27:27.540 gathering be
00:27:28.340 without constant
00:27:29.580 politicization
00:27:30.900 of every single action,
00:27:32.940 of every single person
00:27:34.320 in attendance?
00:27:36.300 I mean,
00:27:36.620 really?
00:27:37.120 I mean,
00:27:37.360 that's what I like
00:27:39.020 about this.
00:27:40.420 Well,
00:27:40.940 we got a nice preview
00:27:41.820 of the outrage
00:27:43.000 this year
00:27:43.640 with all the tantrums
00:27:45.520 that NBC News
00:27:46.800 Megyn Kelly
00:27:47.540 has caused
00:27:48.940 with an admittedly
00:27:50.500 tone-deaf
00:27:51.320 but overall
00:27:52.040 harmless opinion
00:27:53.120 on Megyn Kelly
00:27:54.260 today during
00:27:55.080 what should have been
00:27:56.340 a civil conversation
00:27:58.080 between four adults.
00:27:59.840 Here's the clip.
00:28:01.940 Sometimes I talk
00:28:03.100 and sometimes I listen
00:28:04.100 and yesterday I learned.
00:28:07.140 I learned that
00:28:08.180 given the history
00:28:08.960 of blackface
00:28:10.000 being used
00:28:10.740 in awful ways
00:28:11.900 by racists
00:28:12.800 in this country,
00:28:13.800 it is not okay
00:28:15.580 for that to be part
00:28:16.660 of any costume,
00:28:18.260 Halloween
00:28:18.600 or otherwise.
00:28:19.940 Okay,
00:28:20.180 this is stop.
00:28:20.940 I have never been a PC.
00:28:22.220 Stop.
00:28:22.680 Stop.
00:28:28.320 You've got
00:28:29.100 to be kidding me.
00:28:32.240 She was sitting
00:28:33.100 at a table
00:28:33.600 and she said
00:28:34.260 there was a lady
00:28:34.860 who got into trouble
00:28:35.760 just recently
00:28:38.360 because she wanted
00:28:39.200 to go as
00:28:40.200 Diana Ross.
00:28:41.020 She was white
00:28:41.580 so she painted
00:28:42.380 her face black.
00:28:43.360 She went as
00:28:43.780 Diana Ross.
00:28:44.560 She wasn't making
00:28:45.440 fun of Diana Ross
00:28:46.620 or black people.
00:28:47.560 She was going
00:28:48.660 as Diana Ross.
00:28:49.760 She's like,
00:28:52.360 I don't see
00:28:52.940 the harm there.
00:28:54.400 Is there harm there?
00:28:55.940 They should have
00:28:56.640 had a civil
00:28:57.700 discussion about it.
00:28:59.820 Well,
00:29:00.080 yeah,
00:29:00.400 actually.
00:29:01.020 No,
00:29:01.340 instead,
00:29:02.640 instead,
00:29:03.660 what the political
00:29:04.960 correct police
00:29:06.180 did is call
00:29:07.600 her in
00:29:08.320 and I don't
00:29:10.020 have any idea
00:29:11.040 but probably
00:29:11.880 threaten her
00:29:12.860 with everything
00:29:13.900 and saying
00:29:14.860 this is it.
00:29:16.040 Scared her
00:29:16.800 to death
00:29:17.600 until she
00:29:18.900 came out
00:29:19.640 like in 1984
00:29:20.840 and said
00:29:21.780 I'm guilty.
00:29:22.860 I am guilty.
00:29:23.840 I am guilty.
00:29:24.660 What does that
00:29:25.220 teach people?
00:29:27.060 That teaches
00:29:28.020 people be
00:29:28.980 afraid.
00:29:31.340 It doesn't
00:29:32.160 teach people
00:29:32.740 to open their
00:29:33.240 hearts.
00:29:34.260 It didn't teach
00:29:34.860 anything about
00:29:35.480 anything on
00:29:36.200 blackface
00:29:36.980 except be
00:29:38.780 afraid
00:29:39.440 and be afraid
00:29:41.020 of even asking
00:29:42.000 a question.
00:29:42.860 Al Roker
00:29:47.320 got steamed
00:29:48.240 up about it.
00:29:48.800 The fact is
00:29:49.300 while she
00:29:49.680 apologized to
00:29:50.480 the staff,
00:29:50.980 she owes a
00:29:51.400 bigger apology
00:29:52.060 to the folks
00:29:53.000 of color
00:29:53.600 around the
00:29:54.200 country.
00:29:55.340 Does she?
00:29:57.040 Does she?
00:29:58.540 If you are
00:29:59.860 a person of
00:30:00.580 color,
00:30:01.120 has this
00:30:01.520 affected your
00:30:02.280 life?
00:30:03.080 Has
00:30:03.260 Megyn Kelly
00:30:04.260 affected your
00:30:06.800 life in
00:30:07.560 any way
00:30:08.180 by asking
00:30:09.140 the question?
00:30:10.140 I don't
00:30:10.520 know.
00:30:10.840 Is there a
00:30:11.240 problem with
00:30:11.840 that?
00:30:12.860 Has that
00:30:13.660 really been
00:30:14.460 oh my
00:30:15.060 oh my
00:30:15.980 gosh,
00:30:16.420 my kids
00:30:17.020 they can't
00:30:17.500 sleep at
00:30:18.000 night.
00:30:20.560 Really?
00:30:24.580 You've got
00:30:25.180 to be kidding
00:30:25.740 me.
00:30:27.640 So she
00:30:28.400 began with
00:30:29.100 two words,
00:30:29.660 I'm sorry.
00:30:32.160 She said,
00:30:32.980 I don't
00:30:33.320 want to,
00:30:34.040 you know,
00:30:35.420 add to
00:30:35.940 anybody's
00:30:36.540 pain.
00:30:37.040 Do you
00:30:37.340 think she
00:30:37.780 did?
00:30:39.300 Do you
00:30:39.960 think Megyn
00:30:40.500 Kelly was
00:30:41.040 sitting there
00:30:41.400 going,
00:30:41.780 oh man,
00:30:42.860 you know
00:30:46.120 what,
00:30:46.420 you know
00:30:46.660 what,
00:30:46.880 on today's
00:30:47.440 show,
00:30:47.720 I'm going
00:30:48.080 to bring
00:30:48.380 up that
00:30:48.740 lady,
00:30:49.200 Diana Ross,
00:30:49.840 and I'm
00:30:50.440 just going
00:30:51.020 to cause
00:30:51.800 people pain.
00:30:54.880 She says,
00:30:55.820 thanks for
00:30:56.200 listening and
00:30:56.740 helping me
00:30:57.440 listen to.
00:30:58.500 No,
00:30:59.660 no,
00:31:00.420 I didn't
00:31:01.720 hear it.
00:31:02.600 I don't
00:31:03.120 know what
00:31:03.460 was said
00:31:03.960 to you
00:31:04.540 off air.
00:31:05.880 There's a
00:31:06.300 lot of
00:31:06.600 people in
00:31:07.260 the audience
00:31:07.780 that probably
00:31:08.540 said,
00:31:09.720 yeah,
00:31:10.000 I mean,
00:31:10.560 they don't
00:31:11.160 mean offense.
00:31:12.720 How is
00:31:13.260 this,
00:31:13.940 how is
00:31:14.360 this a
00:31:14.660 problem?
00:31:16.100 How is
00:31:16.740 this a
00:31:17.060 problem?
00:31:19.640 Well,
00:31:20.200 we don't
00:31:20.580 know,
00:31:20.980 we just
00:31:21.280 know,
00:31:21.960 shut up.
00:31:25.000 Apologies
00:31:25.440 aren't good
00:31:27.200 enough anymore.
00:31:28.560 They're not
00:31:29.220 good enough.
00:31:31.860 Doesn't
00:31:32.380 matter.
00:31:33.540 We're in the
00:31:34.260 throes of
00:31:35.060 cultural
00:31:35.760 lawlessness,
00:31:37.560 executions
00:31:38.260 on demand.
00:31:39.960 Context,
00:31:40.700 common sense,
00:31:41.360 doesn't matter.
00:31:42.420 Execute
00:31:42.980 them,
00:31:43.540 hang them,
00:31:44.480 get rid
00:31:44.860 of them.
00:31:47.060 Guess
00:31:47.700 what's
00:31:47.940 happening
00:31:48.240 next?
00:31:50.020 She
00:31:50.640 dropped by
00:31:51.280 CAA?
00:31:52.300 I think
00:31:53.060 she was
00:31:53.340 dropped by
00:31:54.020 her talent
00:31:54.500 agency.
00:31:55.180 She's a
00:31:55.540 pariah now.
00:31:57.100 She's a
00:31:57.840 pariah.
00:31:59.520 And people
00:32:00.500 will say,
00:32:01.360 on the
00:32:01.780 right,
00:32:02.460 good.
00:32:03.380 Really
00:32:03.940 good.
00:32:05.820 Good.
00:32:06.420 Good.
00:32:08.260 People on
00:32:09.680 the left
00:32:10.020 will say,
00:32:10.560 good.
00:32:13.400 How has
00:32:14.280 Megyn Kelly
00:32:15.020 affected
00:32:15.600 anyone's
00:32:16.320 life?
00:32:18.840 Well,
00:32:19.480 she has
00:32:19.780 made it
00:32:20.140 very difficult
00:32:21.200 for NBC
00:32:22.420 to live
00:32:23.920 down their
00:32:24.700 sexual harassment
00:32:25.900 and assault
00:32:26.540 that's been
00:32:26.920 going around
00:32:27.340 their offices.
00:32:28.200 She keeps
00:32:29.200 bringing that
00:32:29.840 up.
00:32:30.700 She was
00:32:31.020 very serious
00:32:31.980 and one of
00:32:32.360 the biggest
00:32:32.700 critics of
00:32:33.500 NBC and
00:32:34.140 the way they
00:32:34.520 handled some
00:32:35.220 of those
00:32:35.540 allegations.
00:32:36.000 seemingly
00:32:37.180 they are
00:32:37.700 really
00:32:37.980 finding a
00:32:38.780 quick way.
00:32:41.080 It seems
00:32:41.740 to me that
00:32:42.900 maybe she
00:32:43.340 has a
00:32:43.780 target on
00:32:44.460 her for
00:32:45.060 some of
00:32:45.500 those things
00:32:46.680 that she
00:32:47.060 said,
00:32:47.560 which is
00:32:48.420 kind of
00:32:48.800 fascinating
00:32:49.360 because NBC,
00:32:50.540 as we know,
00:32:52.080 they're going to
00:32:52.480 talk to us
00:32:53.480 constantly about
00:32:54.360 the inequality
00:32:55.060 between the
00:32:55.660 sexes and
00:32:56.780 how those
00:32:58.280 conservatives are
00:32:59.020 really bad.
00:32:59.460 Roy Moore,
00:33:00.420 he's a bad
00:33:01.340 guy,
00:33:02.280 but we're going
00:33:02.940 to find when it
00:33:03.740 comes to
00:33:04.220 people like
00:33:05.060 Matt Lauer
00:33:05.860 and Brokaw
00:33:07.240 and how many
00:33:08.080 more at NBC.
00:33:09.580 It's been one
00:33:09.860 of the biggest
00:33:10.320 and not to
00:33:10.900 mention ignoring
00:33:11.600 the Harvey
00:33:12.000 Weinstein thing
00:33:12.640 for how long?
00:33:13.400 Remember,
00:33:13.700 they employed
00:33:14.380 Ronan Farrow
00:33:15.080 when he was
00:33:15.480 writing the
00:33:16.020 story and
00:33:16.480 they gave
00:33:16.920 it to
00:33:17.140 the New
00:33:17.380 Yorker.
00:33:19.040 All of
00:33:19.880 that goes
00:33:20.260 on and
00:33:21.240 Megyn Kelly
00:33:21.680 happens to
00:33:22.540 be one of
00:33:22.980 the biggest
00:33:23.300 critics of
00:33:23.880 what happened
00:33:24.420 at NBC
00:33:24.880 and yet
00:33:26.220 she has
00:33:26.780 one comment
00:33:27.440 that people
00:33:27.900 don't like
00:33:28.360 and she's
00:33:28.720 gone.
00:33:29.560 That's
00:33:29.780 fascinating.
00:33:30.920 NBC News
00:33:31.760 Chairman
00:33:32.580 Andy Lack
00:33:33.500 released a
00:33:34.100 statement
00:33:34.420 following her
00:33:35.280 comments.
00:33:36.260 There is
00:33:36.560 no other
00:33:37.140 way to
00:33:37.560 put this
00:33:38.080 but I
00:33:38.500 condemn
00:33:39.180 those
00:33:39.520 remarks.
00:33:40.480 There is
00:33:40.800 no place
00:33:41.480 on our
00:33:41.880 air
00:33:42.180 or in
00:33:42.740 this
00:33:43.000 workplace
00:33:43.600 for those
00:33:45.060 kinds
00:33:45.500 of words.
00:33:46.560 I mean
00:33:46.800 touchy-feely
00:33:47.520 guys,
00:33:48.100 that's fine,
00:33:48.680 but words?
00:33:49.480 No,
00:33:49.720 no,
00:33:49.940 no.
00:33:50.460 I'm sorry,
00:33:51.280 I added
00:33:51.720 that.
00:33:52.420 Quote,
00:33:52.820 it's very
00:33:53.560 unfortunate,
00:33:54.520 end quote.
00:33:55.500 What is
00:33:55.900 unfortunate is
00:33:57.060 that America
00:33:57.640 has devolved
00:33:58.460 into a
00:33:59.040 country of
00:33:59.760 over-sensitive,
00:34:00.980 crybabies
00:34:02.580 who take
00:34:03.420 offense at
00:34:04.180 the slightest
00:34:04.800 thing.
00:34:05.600 And you
00:34:05.820 know what?
00:34:06.340 I don't
00:34:06.840 even think
00:34:07.320 it's
00:34:07.520 America.
00:34:08.240 I don't
00:34:08.680 think it's
00:34:09.060 Americans.
00:34:10.080 I really
00:34:10.680 don't.
00:34:11.340 I don't
00:34:11.920 think that
00:34:12.620 it's the
00:34:13.000 vast,
00:34:13.540 I don't
00:34:13.840 think it's
00:34:14.280 80 or
00:34:14.900 90%
00:34:15.740 of this
00:34:16.200 country
00:34:16.560 that are
00:34:17.120 crybabies.
00:34:18.060 They're
00:34:18.360 sick of
00:34:18.980 this.
00:34:21.360 It's
00:34:22.000 about
00:34:22.340 maybe
00:34:22.860 5 to
00:34:23.820 10%
00:34:24.700 of America
00:34:25.620 and many
00:34:26.720 of them
00:34:27.220 in the
00:34:27.700 media
00:34:28.080 and many
00:34:28.980 of them
00:34:29.440 in politics
00:34:30.180 and the
00:34:31.520 last place
00:34:32.560 probably
00:34:33.460 the last
00:34:34.700 comes first
00:34:35.900 academia.
00:34:39.540 You should
00:34:40.840 be coddled.
00:34:42.460 The slightest
00:34:43.240 thing
00:34:44.060 upsets you.
00:34:45.640 Well,
00:34:45.780 that's not
00:34:46.280 American.
00:34:47.480 It's not.
00:34:48.620 We're the
00:34:48.980 ones.
00:34:49.340 You know
00:34:49.520 what?
00:34:49.700 I have a
00:34:50.000 picture of
00:34:50.400 my grandmother.
00:34:51.740 She crossed
00:34:52.460 the Rocky
00:34:53.200 Mountains
00:34:53.840 in a
00:34:55.220 wagon
00:34:57.380 train.
00:34:58.260 Okay?
00:34:58.420 It's
00:34:59.720 she was
00:35:00.300 she looks
00:35:01.220 like me
00:35:01.640 in a
00:35:01.900 dress
00:35:02.220 with a
00:35:02.560 bonnet.
00:35:03.260 Okay?
00:35:04.360 She
00:35:04.800 she
00:35:05.600 she also
00:35:06.440 kind of
00:35:07.000 looks a
00:35:07.500 little
00:35:07.720 like a
00:35:08.340 pirate.
00:35:09.160 You know
00:35:09.840 why?
00:35:10.480 Because
00:35:10.980 on the
00:35:11.880 wagon
00:35:12.380 train
00:35:13.020 her eye
00:35:14.360 was
00:35:14.680 poked
00:35:15.320 out.
00:35:17.280 You know
00:35:18.040 what she
00:35:18.280 did?
00:35:19.200 She wiped
00:35:20.180 her face
00:35:20.860 and
00:35:21.620 kept
00:35:22.540 going.
00:35:23.200 She
00:35:23.680 didn't
00:35:23.940 whine.
00:35:24.740 She
00:35:25.000 didn't
00:35:25.220 cry
00:35:25.580 about it.
00:35:26.400 She's
00:35:26.700 like,
00:35:27.000 ah,
00:35:27.300 crap.
00:35:28.420 shouldn't
00:35:29.500 have run
00:35:29.780 with that.
00:35:30.520 I
00:35:30.800 poked
00:35:31.180 my eye
00:35:31.740 out.
00:35:32.840 And
00:35:33.460 she
00:35:33.720 moved
00:35:34.240 on.
00:35:37.140 That's
00:35:37.800 who
00:35:37.940 Americans
00:35:38.400 are.
00:35:39.960 Yes,
00:35:40.500 bad
00:35:40.860 things
00:35:41.300 happen.
00:35:42.220 We
00:35:42.500 move
00:35:43.040 on.
00:35:44.360 Yes,
00:35:44.960 people
00:35:45.280 say
00:35:45.700 things
00:35:46.140 that I
00:35:46.460 don't
00:35:46.800 like.
00:35:47.560 We
00:35:47.880 move
00:35:48.320 on.
00:35:49.540 Yes,
00:35:50.340 things
00:35:50.720 have
00:35:50.940 changed.
00:35:51.940 We're
00:35:52.180 evolving.
00:35:53.780 We're
00:35:54.200 learning
00:35:54.800 new
00:35:55.160 things.
00:35:56.240 Some
00:35:56.680 things are
00:35:57.180 outdated.
00:35:57.740 Some
00:35:58.520 things that
00:35:59.220 are good
00:35:59.700 are just
00:36:00.040 being tossed
00:36:00.680 out the
00:36:01.160 window and
00:36:02.040 somebody should
00:36:02.960 say,
00:36:03.460 wait a
00:36:04.200 minute,
00:36:04.940 let's
00:36:05.440 not throw
00:36:06.060 that away.
00:36:09.700 Megyn Kelly
00:36:10.860 ought to
00:36:12.700 know that
00:36:13.320 blackface
00:36:14.260 is awful.
00:36:16.980 Yes,
00:36:18.020 it's no
00:36:18.680 longer
00:36:18.960 acceptable.
00:36:20.480 But you
00:36:21.280 know what?
00:36:22.240 If it's a
00:36:22.940 costume that
00:36:23.580 is purposefully
00:36:25.200 ridiculing
00:36:27.200 a race
00:36:28.080 as blackface
00:36:30.180 has done
00:36:30.760 historically,
00:36:32.340 yes,
00:36:32.800 it's not
00:36:33.260 kosher,
00:36:33.700 nor should
00:36:34.280 it be.
00:36:35.840 But notice
00:36:36.700 what is
00:36:37.500 happening here
00:36:38.160 with Kelly
00:36:38.900 being fired,
00:36:41.360 not because
00:36:41.880 she wore
00:36:42.300 blackface,
00:36:43.120 but because
00:36:44.200 of words,
00:36:46.080 an idea,
00:36:48.000 a question.
00:36:49.500 It's not
00:36:50.020 even she was
00:36:50.620 advocating,
00:36:51.360 she was
00:36:52.160 questioning,
00:36:53.700 why?
00:36:55.180 Why is
00:36:56.220 this wrong
00:36:57.060 if I'm
00:36:57.540 not ridiculing
00:36:58.800 people?
00:37:00.260 Why is
00:37:01.100 this wrong?
00:37:02.880 That person
00:37:04.060 liked Diana
00:37:05.340 Ross,
00:37:06.120 wanted to
00:37:06.900 be like
00:37:07.540 Diana Ross
00:37:08.380 in a
00:37:08.920 costume.
00:37:10.620 Why is
00:37:11.240 this wrong?
00:37:13.700 I think
00:37:14.740 that deserves
00:37:15.360 an answer.
00:37:17.140 Instead,
00:37:18.000 what we
00:37:18.420 got was
00:37:18.940 an apology.
00:37:20.080 I am so
00:37:20.620 sorry.
00:37:21.000 I shouldn't
00:37:21.680 have.
00:37:22.200 Oh,
00:37:22.540 please don't
00:37:23.040 beat me.
00:37:23.460 Please don't
00:37:23.920 beat me,
00:37:24.340 master.
00:37:24.720 Please don't
00:37:25.200 beat me.
00:37:25.620 I don't
00:37:26.320 want another
00:37:26.900 whipping.
00:37:27.440 Please don't
00:37:27.980 beat me.
00:37:28.480 Are you
00:37:28.980 kidding me?
00:37:30.340 How are
00:37:30.760 we supposed
00:37:31.200 to learn
00:37:31.900 if we
00:37:32.540 don't have
00:37:33.500 civil
00:37:34.100 conversations?
00:37:35.540 And yes,
00:37:36.260 once in a
00:37:36.760 while we
00:37:37.260 ask a
00:37:37.760 question
00:37:38.140 that's
00:37:38.700 politically
00:37:39.120 incorrect.
00:37:43.760 The
00:37:44.520 criteria in
00:37:45.680 America right
00:37:46.440 now has
00:37:47.680 narrowed so
00:37:48.480 far that it
00:37:49.760 is almost
00:37:50.900 nothing.
00:37:52.020 It takes
00:37:52.640 almost
00:37:52.980 nothing to
00:37:54.520 get you
00:37:54.920 fired.
00:37:59.320 You know
00:37:59.860 what we
00:38:00.040 should do?
00:38:00.380 We should
00:38:00.600 take Megyn Kelly
00:38:01.460 and we should
00:38:02.340 take her down
00:38:02.820 to the river
00:38:03.320 and we should
00:38:04.540 put a bunch of
00:38:05.500 rocks around her
00:38:06.420 and throw her
00:38:07.260 into the river.
00:38:08.460 If she floats,
00:38:09.960 we know she's a
00:38:10.920 bigoted racist.
00:38:12.760 If she
00:38:13.360 doesn't,
00:38:14.820 well,
00:38:15.220 we'll know
00:38:16.160 that we'll
00:38:17.220 know that she
00:38:17.660 was innocent.
00:38:19.060 This is so
00:38:20.020 ridiculous how
00:38:21.000 similar it is to
00:38:21.980 the thought
00:38:22.580 crimes that
00:38:23.780 Orwell wrote
00:38:24.600 about in
00:38:25.200 1984.
00:38:26.760 Here's a
00:38:27.460 passage for
00:38:28.160 anybody who,
00:38:28.900 you know,
00:38:29.720 hasn't thought
00:38:30.900 of something
00:38:31.700 called a
00:38:32.380 book in a
00:38:33.640 while.
00:38:34.500 The main
00:38:35.220 character,
00:38:35.900 Winston Smith,
00:38:37.240 training himself
00:38:38.360 to avoid
00:38:38.960 thought crimes.
00:38:39.900 Here it is,
00:38:40.480 quote,
00:38:40.800 The mind
00:38:42.180 should develop
00:38:42.920 a blind spot
00:38:44.000 whenever a
00:38:44.680 dangerous thought
00:38:45.700 presented itself.
00:38:47.260 The process
00:38:47.920 should be
00:38:48.560 automatic,
00:38:49.340 instinctive,
00:38:50.320 crime stop.
00:38:51.860 That's what
00:38:52.500 they call it
00:38:53.040 in news speak.
00:38:54.900 He set to
00:38:55.500 work to
00:38:55.940 exercise himself
00:38:57.420 in crime stop.
00:38:58.840 He presented
00:38:59.480 himself with
00:39:00.220 propositions.
00:39:01.540 The party
00:39:02.020 says the
00:39:02.620 earth is flat.
00:39:03.600 The party
00:39:04.420 says that
00:39:05.080 ice is heavier
00:39:06.160 than water.
00:39:07.560 And trained
00:39:08.120 himself in
00:39:08.800 not seeing
00:39:09.540 or understanding
00:39:10.500 the arguments
00:39:11.460 that contradicted
00:39:12.680 them.
00:39:13.580 End quote.
00:39:14.040 Here's another
00:39:14.540 one.
00:39:15.260 Quote,
00:39:15.780 If you made
00:39:16.640 an unexpected
00:39:17.420 movement and
00:39:18.620 then they
00:39:19.600 yelled at you
00:39:20.520 from the
00:39:20.940 telescreen,
00:39:22.480 swap
00:39:23.060 telescreen,
00:39:24.260 swap
00:39:25.380 telescreen with
00:39:26.540 what?
00:39:27.200 Twitter.
00:39:28.440 And here we
00:39:29.420 are in reality.
00:39:30.260 Let me read
00:39:30.820 that one more
00:39:31.880 time.
00:39:33.020 If you said
00:39:33.920 something
00:39:34.540 unexpected,
00:39:36.580 if you made
00:39:37.700 unexpected
00:39:38.400 movements,
00:39:39.460 they yelled
00:39:40.360 at you
00:39:41.020 through the
00:39:41.820 telescreen.
00:39:44.560 I don't want
00:39:45.320 to ruin
00:39:45.640 1984 for you,
00:39:47.100 but let me
00:39:47.580 just say,
00:39:48.340 it's not the
00:39:49.020 kind of world
00:39:49.600 we want to
00:39:50.180 end up in.
00:39:52.320 Unfortunately,
00:39:53.720 not enough
00:39:54.600 people read
00:39:55.820 anymore.
00:39:57.460 You should,
00:39:58.900 because it is
00:39:59.640 exactly the
00:40:00.660 world we're
00:40:01.740 creating.
00:40:02.260 this is the
00:40:08.720 best of the
00:40:09.480 Glenn Beck
00:40:09.800 program.
00:40:10.240 You would
00:40:22.660 think that
00:40:23.740 this would
00:40:24.200 be the
00:40:24.720 moment for
00:40:25.880 Michael Moore.
00:40:26.980 Wouldn't you?
00:40:28.020 Every utopian
00:40:29.520 dream that he
00:40:30.600 had is
00:40:32.480 starting to
00:40:33.100 come true.
00:40:34.160 Americans are
00:40:35.240 socialist.
00:40:36.860 Social Democrats
00:40:37.980 are starting to
00:40:39.360 take the mask
00:40:40.200 off and say,
00:40:40.880 yes,
00:40:41.520 capitalism is
00:40:42.360 dead.
00:40:43.380 We need a
00:40:44.300 new system.
00:40:45.900 So why is
00:40:47.180 Michael Moore
00:40:47.920 invisible?
00:40:50.440 Why isn't
00:40:51.380 this Michael
00:40:52.100 Moore's
00:40:52.740 moment in
00:40:54.940 the sunlight?
00:40:55.980 With us is
00:40:56.340 Kyle Smith.
00:40:56.940 There's an
00:40:57.140 interesting take
00:40:57.820 on this.
00:40:58.160 I hadn't
00:40:58.460 thought about
00:40:58.920 it this way,
00:40:59.360 but I think
00:41:00.020 he's right.
00:41:00.960 He's run
00:41:01.600 the National
00:41:01.960 Review and
00:41:02.420 he wrote this
00:41:02.840 in the New
00:41:03.140 York Post
00:41:03.620 as well.
00:41:04.480 Kyle,
00:41:04.780 welcome to
00:41:05.040 the program.
00:41:05.640 Hi,
00:41:05.820 Kyle.
00:41:06.720 Hey,
00:41:07.660 thanks for
00:41:08.040 having me.
00:41:08.740 So where
00:41:10.620 is Michael
00:41:11.400 Moore now?
00:41:12.040 Because his
00:41:12.480 movie was a
00:41:13.300 huge flop.
00:41:15.640 He's just
00:41:16.280 nowhere to
00:41:16.720 be found.
00:41:18.400 He's totally
00:41:19.220 irrelevant.
00:41:20.740 You may
00:41:21.340 remember
00:41:21.740 Fahrenheit
00:41:22.500 9-11 was a
00:41:23.320 very big deal
00:41:23.940 in 2004.
00:41:24.920 Broke all
00:41:25.320 box office
00:41:25.920 records for
00:41:27.180 a documentary.
00:41:27.800 Made $120
00:41:28.540 million.
00:41:29.580 Made more
00:41:29.920 money than
00:41:30.360 Anchorman,
00:41:31.400 which I think
00:41:31.740 came out the
00:41:32.100 same day or
00:41:32.720 the same month.
00:41:33.240 He was a
00:41:35.020 hugely important
00:41:35.880 cultural figure
00:41:36.580 back then.
00:41:37.340 And this
00:41:37.700 movie slamming
00:41:39.780 Bush on
00:41:40.660 his strongest
00:41:41.620 grounds,
00:41:43.680 there's some
00:41:44.680 evidence that
00:41:45.140 it may have
00:41:45.460 helped turn
00:41:45.840 around the
00:41:46.240 presidential race
00:41:46.920 because Bush
00:41:47.400 was way ahead
00:41:47.960 at that point.
00:41:48.540 Kerry started
00:41:49.060 to sneak
00:41:49.360 ahead around
00:41:50.020 the time
00:41:50.300 this movie
00:41:50.640 came out.
00:41:51.760 He really
00:41:52.120 succeeded in
00:41:52.620 throwing a lot
00:41:53.040 of mud on
00:41:53.600 George W.
00:41:54.440 Bush and
00:41:54.740 made the
00:41:55.340 presidential race
00:41:56.080 closer than
00:41:56.580 it would have
00:41:56.860 been.
00:41:57.540 Fahrenheit 11-9,
00:41:58.580 he tries to
00:41:58.920 do the same
00:41:59.320 thing as
00:41:59.660 Trump.
00:42:00.440 No one's
00:42:00.920 buying it.
00:42:01.380 No one's
00:42:01.700 going to
00:42:01.980 see it.
00:42:02.420 It was
00:42:02.600 released on
00:42:03.500 1,700
00:42:04.520 screens a
00:42:05.500 few weeks
00:42:05.860 ago,
00:42:06.180 which is a
00:42:06.580 ton of
00:42:06.920 screens for
00:42:07.340 a documentary.
00:42:07.980 It cost
00:42:08.160 many millions
00:42:08.860 of dollars
00:42:09.240 to do that
00:42:09.740 because you
00:42:10.040 have to give
00:42:11.320 the theater
00:42:11.720 owners assurances
00:42:12.660 that you'll
00:42:13.040 cover their
00:42:13.520 overhead,
00:42:14.620 their electricity
00:42:15.260 bills,
00:42:15.680 and things
00:42:15.840 like that.
00:42:18.240 It sold
00:42:18.880 about 40,
00:42:19.780 45 tickets
00:42:20.420 a night,
00:42:21.100 its first
00:42:21.500 night in
00:42:21.820 theaters,
00:42:22.280 and it's
00:42:22.980 sort of
00:42:23.380 plummeted
00:42:23.820 from then.
00:42:26.060 You have
00:42:26.620 to assume
00:42:26.980 most of
00:42:27.260 his fans are
00:42:27.700 in places
00:42:27.940 like New York
00:42:28.800 and Beverly
00:42:29.160 Hill,
00:42:29.580 so that
00:42:30.100 means in
00:42:31.080 the heart
00:42:31.300 land,
00:42:31.700 basically
00:42:32.100 totally empty
00:42:33.120 theaters showing
00:42:33.980 this movie.
00:42:35.180 And so far
00:42:35.860 it's grossed
00:42:36.340 just over
00:42:37.080 $6 million,
00:42:38.260 which for a
00:42:39.080 wide release
00:42:39.640 is very,
00:42:40.340 very little.
00:42:41.020 His fans will
00:42:41.420 say that's a
00:42:41.800 lot for a
00:42:42.260 documentary,
00:42:42.740 but documentaries
00:42:43.260 typically come
00:42:44.060 out in a few
00:42:44.700 theaters and
00:42:45.300 they platform
00:42:45.780 and they build
00:42:46.460 them there.
00:42:47.360 That way they
00:42:47.860 don't lose that
00:42:48.300 much money,
00:42:48.800 but you lose
00:42:49.300 a lot of
00:42:49.660 money if you
00:42:50.120 put a movie
00:42:50.500 out in 1,700
00:42:51.180 theaters and
00:42:51.920 nobody goes
00:42:52.360 to see it.
00:42:52.760 So what's
00:42:54.220 your theory?
00:42:57.360 Well,
00:42:57.920 when he
00:42:58.420 started his
00:42:59.120 shtick back
00:43:00.380 with Roger
00:43:01.600 and Me,
00:43:02.160 which was a
00:43:03.000 movie about
00:43:03.440 him attacking
00:43:03.960 the chairman
00:43:04.500 of General
00:43:05.120 Motors,
00:43:06.740 he started
00:43:07.160 getting an
00:43:07.420 interview with
00:43:07.920 him and
00:43:08.280 sort of
00:43:08.680 savaging him
00:43:09.320 for various
00:43:09.720 reasons.
00:43:11.180 Back then it
00:43:11.960 was sort of
00:43:12.860 a unique
00:43:13.240 combination of
00:43:14.520 left-wing
00:43:15.760 comedy,
00:43:17.240 right?
00:43:17.500 And then he
00:43:17.840 moved on to
00:43:18.280 Bowling for
00:43:18.600 Columbine,
00:43:19.240 which is sort
00:43:19.780 of a serious
00:43:20.300 movie,
00:43:20.740 sort of a
00:43:21.080 comedy.
00:43:21.400 They wound
00:43:22.120 up making
00:43:22.420 the totally
00:43:22.860 crazy case
00:43:23.700 that the
00:43:24.080 Columbine
00:43:24.480 murder should
00:43:25.000 be blamed
00:43:25.380 on the
00:43:25.640 military-industrial
00:43:26.400 complex because
00:43:27.500 they found
00:43:27.760 there's a
00:43:28.060 direct-TV
00:43:28.540 satellite factory
00:43:29.580 sort of nearby,
00:43:31.500 which is sort
00:43:31.920 of the military
00:43:32.340 industry.
00:43:34.040 That kind of
00:43:34.900 way-left
00:43:36.340 rhetoric was
00:43:37.440 rare back
00:43:38.060 then and
00:43:38.800 hardly anyone
00:43:39.580 was combining
00:43:40.120 with comedy,
00:43:40.740 but now
00:43:41.040 the Daily
00:43:44.300 Show are
00:43:44.720 very much
00:43:45.260 inspired by
00:43:46.640 this kind
00:43:46.940 of comedy.
00:43:48.080 And all
00:43:48.480 the other
00:43:49.600 late-night
00:43:50.020 comics,
00:43:50.400 people like
00:43:50.700 Jimmy Kimmel
00:43:51.320 who used
00:43:52.440 to do
00:43:52.700 the Man
00:43:53.060 Show and
00:43:53.460 used to
00:43:53.660 be totally
00:43:54.000 apolitical,
00:43:54.580 even they
00:43:55.040 are doing
00:43:56.420 political
00:43:56.780 comedy.
00:43:57.580 Jimmy
00:43:57.780 Kimmel's
00:43:58.320 got this
00:43:59.340 comic who
00:43:59.900 works for
00:44:00.260 him where
00:44:00.520 he sends
00:44:00.940 him to do
00:44:01.300 these kind
00:44:01.640 of Michael
00:44:02.060 Moore-like
00:44:02.420 stunts where
00:44:02.980 he talks to
00:44:04.660 Trump supporters
00:44:05.220 and things like
00:44:05.660 that, the
00:44:05.920 kind of thing
00:44:06.240 Michael Moore
00:44:06.640 used to do.
00:44:07.740 Michael Moore
00:44:08.220 used to be
00:44:08.540 the only one
00:44:08.940 doing this.
00:44:09.460 Now other
00:44:09.960 people are
00:44:10.420 doing it and
00:44:11.180 they're a lot
00:44:11.580 more talented
00:44:12.120 than he is.
00:44:13.240 Stephen Colbert
00:44:13.840 does very
00:44:14.380 left-wing
00:44:15.020 polemics
00:44:16.520 combined with
00:44:17.020 comedy.
00:44:17.960 It's everywhere
00:44:18.560 you look and
00:44:19.300 these people have
00:44:20.020 talented staffs
00:44:21.420 of comedy
00:44:21.800 writers doing
00:44:22.280 their jokes
00:44:22.720 for him.
00:44:23.080 Michael Moore
00:44:23.600 was funny
00:44:25.360 for a
00:44:25.920 polemicist
00:44:26.540 at the time
00:44:27.680 but he's
00:44:28.640 not really
00:44:29.220 funny enough
00:44:29.680 to be a
00:44:29.940 stand-up
00:44:30.160 comedian as
00:44:30.720 we saw
00:44:31.480 in his
00:44:31.860 basically
00:44:32.760 stand-up
00:44:33.160 comedy show
00:44:33.760 Michael
00:44:34.120 Moore
00:44:34.380 and
00:44:34.520 Trump
00:44:34.740 Land
00:44:35.040 which
00:44:35.240 came out
00:44:35.580 in 2016
00:44:36.460 right during
00:44:38.200 the weeks
00:44:38.740 before the
00:44:39.220 election.
00:44:39.740 He was
00:44:39.880 hoping to
00:44:40.360 sway the
00:44:40.660 election to
00:44:41.060 Hillary.
00:44:41.860 When you
00:44:42.280 say
00:44:42.640 like we
00:44:45.520 saw,
00:44:47.260 I don't
00:44:47.620 think you're
00:44:48.160 you should be
00:44:49.380 careful with
00:44:49.840 the use
00:44:50.140 of we
00:44:50.720 because I
00:44:51.160 don't think
00:44:51.500 I could
00:44:52.360 find two
00:44:52.860 people,
00:44:53.220 maybe you
00:44:53.800 and I
00:44:54.660 don't know
00:44:54.940 who else
00:44:55.300 in this
00:44:55.580 audience
00:44:55.900 might have
00:44:56.380 seen that.
00:44:58.280 Yeah,
00:44:58.660 I think that
00:44:58.940 dressed like
00:44:59.280 a million
00:44:59.600 bucks.
00:45:00.060 I mean,
00:45:00.820 all his
00:45:01.440 movies have
00:45:01.800 flopped in
00:45:02.260 the past
00:45:02.540 few years
00:45:02.960 and they've
00:45:03.680 gone worse
00:45:04.120 and worse.
00:45:04.800 Sicko did
00:45:05.360 okay about
00:45:06.120 12 years
00:45:06.880 ago.
00:45:07.240 His movie
00:45:07.520 about health
00:45:08.580 insurance in
00:45:09.340 which he
00:45:09.580 claimed that
00:45:10.120 the Cuban
00:45:10.480 health care
00:45:10.880 system was
00:45:11.400 better than
00:45:11.980 the U.S.
00:45:12.320 health care
00:45:12.580 system.
00:45:13.980 His sort
00:45:14.580 of insane
00:45:15.120 rants are
00:45:15.760 no longer
00:45:16.140 that rare.
00:45:16.740 You can find
00:45:17.140 them everywhere.
00:45:18.340 And basically,
00:45:19.260 I think the
00:45:19.880 youth audience
00:45:20.560 that used to
00:45:21.000 go to his
00:45:21.340 movies,
00:45:21.820 I remember
00:45:22.120 going for
00:45:22.760 Columbine and
00:45:23.300 getting a lot
00:45:23.660 of young
00:45:25.000 people in
00:45:25.300 their 20s
00:45:25.700 are really
00:45:25.980 excited about
00:45:26.460 that movie.
00:45:28.140 They've
00:45:28.580 forgotten about
00:45:29.040 it.
00:45:29.180 They moved
00:45:29.700 on to
00:45:30.100 Jim and
00:45:30.380 Camel and
00:45:30.880 Colbert and
00:45:31.760 The Daily
00:45:32.600 Show and all
00:45:33.300 these other
00:45:33.600 alternate forms
00:45:34.480 of comedy.
00:45:34.920 Michael Moore
00:45:37.360 is not
00:45:39.020 funny enough
00:45:39.600 to be a
00:45:40.000 comic.
00:45:41.420 Are you
00:45:42.940 saying that
00:45:43.340 it's just
00:45:43.660 that he's
00:45:44.040 not funny
00:45:44.640 or is
00:45:46.620 there anything
00:45:47.140 to be said
00:45:48.060 for the
00:45:51.060 fact that
00:45:52.460 this kind
00:45:54.460 of stuff
00:45:55.060 you can get
00:45:57.700 the actual
00:45:58.480 people,
00:45:59.380 you get the
00:45:59.860 people in
00:46:00.360 office now
00:46:01.220 saying these
00:46:01.900 crazy things.
00:46:02.760 So he's
00:46:03.680 not the
00:46:05.200 rebel anymore.
00:46:07.800 This is not
00:46:08.740 you know,
00:46:09.480 he was
00:46:09.740 revolutionary
00:46:10.640 and we're
00:46:11.420 a rebel
00:46:12.040 alliance
00:46:13.260 and we're
00:46:15.060 all in it
00:46:15.520 together.
00:46:16.020 Well,
00:46:16.180 now you've
00:46:16.700 got Nancy
00:46:17.440 Pelosi
00:46:17.880 saying all
00:46:18.520 the same
00:46:18.980 stuff that
00:46:20.260 he was
00:46:20.560 saying.
00:46:21.880 Right.
00:46:22.500 There's no
00:46:22.780 scarcity value
00:46:23.680 to what he
00:46:24.400 does anymore.
00:46:25.120 Everyone's
00:46:25.520 doing it.
00:46:26.400 There's a
00:46:26.780 kind of
00:46:26.980 pathetic
00:46:27.220 moment at
00:46:27.700 the end
00:46:27.940 of Fahrenheit
00:46:28.400 11-9
00:46:29.160 where he
00:46:29.800 does this
00:46:30.140 Hitler montage
00:46:30.960 and he's
00:46:31.240 trying to
00:46:31.480 say Trump
00:46:31.900 is like
00:46:32.200 Hitler.
00:46:32.760 He's
00:46:32.860 interplaying
00:46:34.200 the speeches
00:46:34.640 of Trump
00:46:35.020 and Hitler.
00:46:36.140 Everyone's
00:46:36.600 been saying
00:46:37.000 Trump is
00:46:37.380 like Hitler
00:46:37.780 on the
00:46:38.320 left for
00:46:39.200 about three
00:46:39.800 years.
00:46:40.420 He's the
00:46:41.460 last one
00:46:42.020 to this
00:46:42.320 Trump is
00:46:42.740 Hitler
00:46:42.940 party.
00:46:43.700 It's so
00:46:44.060 boring.
00:46:44.600 It's been
00:46:44.960 done to
00:46:45.400 death.
00:46:46.340 I think
00:46:46.500 it's an
00:46:46.680 amazing
00:46:46.900 observation
00:46:47.360 of where
00:46:47.940 the culture
00:46:48.680 has gone.
00:46:49.560 At that
00:46:50.860 point,
00:46:51.380 it was a
00:46:52.300 big deal
00:46:52.920 when someone
00:46:53.420 came out
00:46:53.940 and
00:46:54.080 advocated
00:46:55.260 for
00:46:55.480 socialism
00:46:56.120 in
00:46:56.400 America.
00:46:57.500 We talked
00:46:58.320 about
00:46:58.480 Bernie
00:46:59.040 Sanders
00:46:59.380 in 2013
00:46:59.980 coming out
00:47:00.460 with
00:47:00.580 Medicare
00:47:00.860 for All.
00:47:01.380 He got
00:47:01.880 no
00:47:02.260 co-sponsors
00:47:03.060 on that
00:47:03.360 bill in
00:47:03.660 2013.
00:47:04.920 Now,
00:47:05.280 every major
00:47:06.020 Democratic
00:47:06.600 candidate is
00:47:07.700 pitching for
00:47:08.260 that policy.
00:47:08.940 And they're
00:47:09.040 not just
00:47:09.480 talking about
00:47:10.120 socialism.
00:47:10.640 You know,
00:47:10.820 there's a
00:47:11.080 problem in
00:47:11.760 America where
00:47:12.520 we look at
00:47:13.840 Canada and
00:47:14.720 say that's a
00:47:15.320 socialized
00:47:15.820 nation.
00:47:16.480 No, it's not.
00:47:16.940 That's a
00:47:17.680 capitalist
00:47:18.360 nation that
00:47:19.400 has socialized
00:47:20.400 medicine and
00:47:21.320 has other
00:47:21.880 things.
00:47:22.240 All sorts
00:47:22.520 of welfare
00:47:22.960 state.
00:47:23.400 Yeah,
00:47:23.640 has welfare
00:47:24.540 state.
00:47:25.120 That's not
00:47:25.800 a socialist
00:47:26.420 nation.
00:47:27.200 And they're
00:47:27.800 now on
00:47:28.560 the left
00:47:29.020 pointing that
00:47:30.480 out, that
00:47:31.620 we're calling
00:47:32.200 for an end
00:47:33.020 of capitalism.
00:47:34.800 I mean,
00:47:35.180 we've gone
00:47:35.820 further than
00:47:37.260 just saying,
00:47:37.960 yeah, we're
00:47:38.420 socialists like
00:47:39.660 Canadians.
00:47:40.400 No, no.
00:47:41.520 They're now
00:47:42.440 saying, no,
00:47:43.500 we want an
00:47:44.040 end to
00:47:45.200 capitalism.
00:47:45.820 And they're
00:47:46.840 still getting
00:47:47.280 elected.
00:47:51.240 Michael Moore's
00:47:52.000 been the
00:47:52.920 leader of
00:47:53.380 that parade
00:47:53.960 for a while,
00:47:54.540 but now he's
00:47:54.940 kind of in
00:47:55.880 back of it.
00:47:56.500 It's kind of
00:47:57.680 gotten ahead of
00:47:58.140 him.
00:47:58.300 He closed
00:47:58.720 his movie
00:47:59.220 Capitalism
00:48:00.420 Love Story
00:48:01.000 with the
00:48:02.280 communist
00:48:02.640 anthem.
00:48:03.920 It used to
00:48:04.380 be the
00:48:04.580 Soviet
00:48:04.780 national anthem.
00:48:06.200 And that
00:48:06.720 kind of thing
00:48:07.060 is just not
00:48:07.520 that special
00:48:08.020 anymore.
00:48:08.500 The whole
00:48:09.060 Democratic
00:48:09.460 Party's gone
00:48:10.040 so far
00:48:10.560 left.
00:48:11.400 So what
00:48:11.900 does that
00:48:12.120 say to
00:48:12.440 you?
00:48:12.980 Does that
00:48:13.300 say,
00:48:13.880 does that
00:48:15.020 say,
00:48:15.180 we're in
00:48:16.620 a lot
00:48:18.200 more trouble
00:48:19.120 than people
00:48:19.720 might think?
00:48:20.400 What does
00:48:20.600 it say to
00:48:20.960 you?
00:48:21.920 That this
00:48:22.540 isn't
00:48:22.840 shocking
00:48:23.240 at all?
00:48:25.440 I think
00:48:26.080 the Democratic
00:48:26.580 Party's not
00:48:27.280 doing themselves
00:48:27.960 any favor
00:48:28.520 by moving
00:48:29.300 way to
00:48:29.780 the left
00:48:30.080 of Obama.
00:48:30.980 Obama at
00:48:31.580 the time
00:48:32.160 seemed like
00:48:33.940 daringly far
00:48:35.180 left, but
00:48:35.760 that's about
00:48:36.380 as far
00:48:36.860 left as
00:48:37.260 they really
00:48:37.600 should dare
00:48:37.980 to go.
00:48:38.400 They really
00:48:38.700 should stay
00:48:39.100 out of all
00:48:39.480 this transgender
00:48:40.160 stuff.
00:48:40.800 They should
00:48:41.020 really stay
00:48:41.420 out of this
00:48:41.800 open borders
00:48:42.360 stuff.
00:48:43.140 They should
00:48:43.440 stay away
00:48:43.900 from
00:48:46.140 Medicare
00:48:46.580 for all
00:48:47.180 the stuff
00:48:47.960 that they're
00:48:48.200 doing.
00:48:48.580 It's not
00:48:48.800 helping them
00:48:49.260 at the
00:48:49.500 polls.
00:48:50.500 The Republican
00:48:51.200 Party, as
00:48:51.700 a result,
00:48:52.260 is in its
00:48:52.880 strongest position
00:48:53.600 since the
00:48:54.080 1920s.
00:48:55.180 Which is
00:48:55.520 astounding.
00:48:56.660 Which is
00:48:57.080 astounding.
00:48:58.060 For the
00:48:58.560 opposition that
00:48:59.460 it has
00:48:59.820 had and
00:49:01.720 the flaws
00:49:03.800 that it
00:49:05.200 has had
00:49:05.860 as well.
00:49:06.640 It's amazing
00:49:07.700 that it is
00:49:08.380 this strong.
00:49:09.700 And that's
00:49:10.200 only because
00:49:10.700 I think
00:49:11.140 of the
00:49:11.460 Democrats
00:49:11.900 moving so
00:49:12.500 far left.
00:49:13.440 I agree,
00:49:13.880 Kyle.
00:49:14.080 Thank you so
00:49:14.500 much,
00:49:14.800 Kyle Smith,
00:49:15.520 Critic at
00:49:16.060 Large for
00:49:16.640 National
00:49:17.100 Review.
00:49:20.700 This is
00:49:22.120 the best
00:49:22.520 of the
00:49:22.760 Glenn Beck
00:49:23.160 program.
00:49:29.880 The
00:49:30.360 migrant
00:49:31.980 caravan is
00:49:33.800 coming our
00:49:34.260 way.
00:49:34.840 The
00:49:34.980 migrant
00:49:35.540 caravan.
00:49:36.780 That's not
00:49:37.320 what this
00:49:37.760 is.
00:49:38.740 If
00:49:39.120 anything,
00:49:39.960 this is
00:49:40.280 a
00:49:40.460 humanitarian
00:49:41.020 crisis
00:49:41.920 because
00:49:42.340 these
00:49:42.860 people
00:49:43.520 are
00:49:43.840 being
00:49:44.120 used.
00:49:45.400 They're
00:49:45.640 being
00:49:45.900 used
00:49:46.420 by
00:49:46.780 political
00:49:47.460 operatives
00:49:48.320 in
00:49:48.820 Honduras.
00:49:50.220 Mike
00:49:50.560 Lee,
00:49:51.220 a
00:49:51.560 senator
00:49:51.800 who is
00:49:52.240 always
00:49:52.480 standing
00:49:52.840 guard
00:49:53.140 by our
00:49:53.540 Constitution,
00:49:54.420 welcome
00:49:54.700 to the
00:49:55.100 program,
00:49:55.560 sir.
00:49:55.720 How are
00:49:56.020 you?
00:49:57.080 Doing
00:49:57.260 great.
00:49:57.680 Thank
00:49:57.860 you very
00:49:58.140 much,
00:49:58.460 Glenn.
00:49:58.840 So
00:49:59.180 you
00:49:59.860 wrote to
00:50:02.660 me last
00:50:03.240 night,
00:50:03.540 and I'm
00:50:03.800 not smart
00:50:04.380 enough to
00:50:04.780 understand
00:50:05.240 it.
00:50:06.140 You
00:50:06.660 said there
00:50:07.400 is a
00:50:08.240 procedure that
00:50:09.960 you're
00:50:10.160 pushing for
00:50:10.960 to hold
00:50:13.040 these
00:50:13.300 countries
00:50:13.740 responsible
00:50:14.540 and get
00:50:15.380 them involved
00:50:16.020 in stopping
00:50:16.600 it.
00:50:16.880 Can you
00:50:17.100 explain?
00:50:18.620 Sure.
00:50:19.180 What happened
00:50:19.580 was the
00:50:20.040 Senate Judiciary
00:50:21.480 Committee
00:50:22.040 Chairman Chuck
00:50:23.280 Grassley and
00:50:24.180 I sent a
00:50:25.760 letter to
00:50:26.380 the heads
00:50:27.280 of the
00:50:27.520 Department
00:50:27.900 of Homeland
00:50:28.600 Security and
00:50:29.740 the Department
00:50:30.280 of State
00:50:30.820 suggesting that
00:50:32.280 they work out
00:50:32.920 an agreement
00:50:33.480 with Mexico
00:50:35.060 whereby
00:50:36.800 Mexico would
00:50:39.480 require people
00:50:40.300 who enter
00:50:41.020 Mexico,
00:50:41.640 let's say
00:50:42.040 from Honduras
00:50:42.960 or from
00:50:43.440 El Salvador
00:50:44.080 or from
00:50:44.900 any of these
00:50:46.180 other countries
00:50:46.720 in Central
00:50:47.240 America where
00:50:47.920 a lot of
00:50:48.200 these people
00:50:48.540 are coming
00:50:48.880 from,
00:50:49.720 with the
00:50:50.140 intent of
00:50:50.640 claiming
00:50:50.920 asylum,
00:50:51.600 they would
00:50:51.920 have to
00:50:52.380 claim asylum
00:50:53.100 in Mexico
00:50:53.820 rather than
00:50:54.500 in the
00:50:54.860 United States.
00:50:56.220 This would
00:50:56.640 be similar
00:50:57.140 to an
00:50:57.540 agreement
00:50:57.780 that we
00:50:58.080 already have
00:50:58.480 in place
00:50:58.880 with Canada
00:50:59.560 and a
00:51:01.000 rule imposed
00:51:01.860 by the
00:51:02.260 EU
00:51:03.140 for refugees
00:51:04.200 arriving in
00:51:05.500 EU countries
00:51:06.260 from Syria.
00:51:07.000 In other
00:51:07.240 words,
00:51:07.940 when people
00:51:08.400 are fleeing
00:51:09.240 a country
00:51:11.040 that's dangerous
00:51:11.680 to them
00:51:12.160 that is
00:51:12.680 particularly
00:51:13.240 hostile
00:51:13.720 toward them
00:51:14.520 for some
00:51:15.320 particular
00:51:15.720 reason,
00:51:16.300 such that
00:51:16.580 they have
00:51:16.820 an asylum
00:51:17.220 claim,
00:51:18.220 they ought
00:51:18.740 to apply
00:51:19.480 for asylum
00:51:20.140 in the
00:51:20.520 first country
00:51:21.660 they reach
00:51:22.260 that could
00:51:23.020 be potentially
00:51:23.600 safe here.
00:51:24.340 That should
00:51:24.600 be Mexico.
00:51:26.680 Isn't that
00:51:27.180 normally what
00:51:28.320 happens?
00:51:28.760 I mean,
00:51:28.900 I thought
00:51:29.260 that when
00:51:29.640 you wanted
00:51:30.080 asylum,
00:51:31.200 I thought
00:51:31.840 personally,
00:51:32.920 I think
00:51:33.200 the United
00:51:33.580 States
00:51:33.880 government
00:51:34.300 should be
00:51:34.860 running
00:51:35.360 ads,
00:51:36.360 do not
00:51:37.140 come to
00:51:37.880 America
00:51:38.260 with your
00:51:38.960 family
00:51:39.560 because you
00:51:40.500 will be
00:51:40.980 turned away
00:51:41.680 if you're
00:51:42.280 in danger,
00:51:43.080 come to
00:51:43.500 the closest
00:51:44.080 U.S.
00:51:44.840 embassy
00:51:45.180 and apply
00:51:46.580 for asylum.
00:51:48.040 I mean,
00:51:48.820 why aren't
00:51:49.280 we,
00:51:49.600 I thought
00:51:49.920 that was
00:51:50.320 what we
00:51:50.780 always do.
00:51:53.080 Yeah,
00:51:53.860 it should
00:51:55.060 be more
00:51:56.100 like that
00:51:56.600 and that's
00:51:57.140 not really
00:51:57.700 how it
00:51:58.100 works.
00:51:58.500 and nor
00:52:00.060 do these
00:52:00.660 people end
00:52:01.240 up applying
00:52:01.900 for asylum
00:52:02.820 with Mexico.
00:52:03.960 They're sort
00:52:04.920 of going
00:52:05.280 for the
00:52:05.840 long bomb
00:52:07.100 Hail Mary
00:52:07.740 pass and
00:52:08.300 trying to
00:52:08.760 make it all
00:52:09.760 the way to
00:52:10.060 the United
00:52:10.320 States.
00:52:10.720 But this
00:52:11.040 journey is
00:52:11.760 itself dangerous.
00:52:12.520 This journey
00:52:13.080 is itself
00:52:13.660 ripe with
00:52:15.680 opportunities for
00:52:17.200 people to be
00:52:17.780 exploited.
00:52:19.240 It's an
00:52:19.900 exceptionally
00:52:20.480 dangerous journey
00:52:21.860 for many people,
00:52:22.680 especially for
00:52:23.340 children and
00:52:24.360 for young
00:52:24.740 women,
00:52:25.020 many of
00:52:25.900 whom are
00:52:26.220 sexually
00:52:26.580 assaulted
00:52:27.080 during the
00:52:27.620 journey.
00:52:28.940 And a lot
00:52:29.580 of the people
00:52:29.980 claiming asylum
00:52:30.840 turn out
00:52:31.880 not to be
00:52:32.900 able to
00:52:33.600 make the
00:52:34.740 case that
00:52:35.640 they're even
00:52:36.060 eligible for
00:52:36.680 asylum.
00:52:37.660 But once
00:52:38.440 they're in
00:52:38.800 the United
00:52:39.160 States,
00:52:39.520 it makes
00:52:40.020 it much
00:52:41.180 more difficult
00:52:41.900 to get
00:52:42.380 them back.
00:52:43.700 And we
00:52:44.240 think that
00:52:44.760 the asylum
00:52:46.160 application,
00:52:47.060 if they're
00:52:47.320 coming by
00:52:47.860 land through
00:52:49.120 Mexico,
00:52:49.520 ought to be
00:52:50.160 made to
00:52:50.860 Mexico as
00:52:51.680 they enter
00:52:52.020 Mexico.
00:52:52.460 I talked
00:52:54.100 to Greg
00:52:54.820 Gabbitt the
00:52:55.220 other day,
00:52:55.620 and he
00:52:55.860 said that
00:52:56.380 he thought
00:52:56.720 Mexico was
00:52:57.480 working on
00:52:58.060 something with
00:52:58.540 the UN to
00:52:59.860 put some
00:53:00.240 sort of a
00:53:00.720 camp there
00:53:01.380 in Mexico
00:53:02.060 for these
00:53:02.720 refugees.
00:53:03.540 Have you
00:53:03.700 heard anything
00:53:04.020 about that?
00:53:05.440 I have
00:53:06.220 not,
00:53:06.880 but I
00:53:07.660 don't think
00:53:08.740 that sounds
00:53:09.500 like a
00:53:10.680 great idea.
00:53:11.220 I think that
00:53:11.540 could become
00:53:11.920 another potential
00:53:13.000 magnet for
00:53:14.500 bringing people
00:53:15.240 here.
00:53:16.820 If the
00:53:17.760 idea is to
00:53:18.780 facilitate that
00:53:19.780 journey,
00:53:20.660 specifically the
00:53:21.480 journey from
00:53:22.080 somewhere else
00:53:22.760 in Central
00:53:23.220 America to
00:53:24.100 the United
00:53:24.560 States,
00:53:25.020 that could
00:53:25.340 become more
00:53:26.340 of a
00:53:26.560 problem.
00:53:27.520 Again,
00:53:28.040 you nailed
00:53:28.800 it, Glenn,
00:53:29.180 a few minutes
00:53:29.580 ago in
00:53:29.980 saying that
00:53:30.480 the humanitarian
00:53:31.160 crisis that
00:53:32.060 we have to
00:53:32.400 be focusing
00:53:32.900 on here
00:53:33.340 really is the
00:53:34.300 crisis with
00:53:34.940 the refugees
00:53:35.440 themselves,
00:53:36.720 having to
00:53:37.120 make this
00:53:37.480 long,
00:53:37.960 dangerous
00:53:38.280 journey,
00:53:39.300 and then
00:53:39.720 knowing that
00:53:40.300 when they
00:53:40.940 get here,
00:53:42.220 the odds are
00:53:42.720 pretty high that
00:53:43.400 they're not
00:53:44.340 going to be
00:53:44.800 deemed eligible
00:53:45.500 for asylum
00:53:46.160 in any
00:53:46.860 event.
00:53:47.760 That just
00:53:48.200 creates a
00:53:48.640 whole lot of
00:53:49.060 headaches for
00:53:49.760 them in the
00:53:50.640 process.
00:53:51.060 So, Mike,
00:53:51.680 I got an
00:53:52.660 email in
00:53:54.240 yesterday from
00:53:54.980 a listener in
00:53:55.700 Honduras,
00:53:56.340 a Honduras
00:53:57.020 resident and
00:53:57.780 a born and
00:53:58.800 raised native
00:53:59.600 in Honduras.
00:54:01.440 Said I've been
00:54:01.860 following the
00:54:02.480 news on the
00:54:03.660 caravan here
00:54:04.320 locally.
00:54:05.620 Been also a
00:54:06.560 fan of your
00:54:06.960 show, watch
00:54:07.480 your show, and
00:54:08.260 I have to
00:54:08.760 applaud you and
00:54:09.300 your intel.
00:54:10.460 The origins of
00:54:11.760 this migrant
00:54:12.500 march, this all
00:54:13.660 erupted in
00:54:14.320 2009 when the
00:54:16.060 president of
00:54:16.780 Honduras,
00:54:17.420 Manuel
00:54:18.580 Zelaya, a
00:54:20.380 lackey of
00:54:20.880 Hugo Chavez
00:54:21.460 and Fidel
00:54:22.020 Castro, was
00:54:22.780 ousted
00:54:23.220 constitutionally
00:54:24.160 by the
00:54:24.500 other two
00:54:24.820 branches of
00:54:25.340 government.
00:54:26.100 Ever since
00:54:26.720 then, we
00:54:27.280 Hondurans have
00:54:28.060 lived in
00:54:28.500 chaos.
00:54:29.500 Many of
00:54:30.080 the things
00:54:30.800 have been
00:54:31.600 tried by
00:54:32.320 Zelaya and
00:54:33.160 his
00:54:33.460 Pardito
00:54:34.180 Libre, which
00:54:35.360 translates to
00:54:36.280 Freedom Party
00:54:37.120 to destabilize
00:54:38.020 our country.
00:54:39.260 This latest
00:54:40.160 stunt of
00:54:41.300 Zelaya
00:54:42.540 blames
00:54:43.360 America and
00:54:44.860 has made
00:54:45.560 America is
00:54:46.420 now reaping
00:54:47.080 what it's
00:54:47.480 sown type
00:54:48.040 statements.
00:54:49.040 He says
00:54:49.520 that America
00:54:50.120 must take
00:54:51.100 in the
00:54:51.440 migrants
00:54:51.840 because America
00:54:52.660 has supported
00:54:53.440 the current
00:54:54.080 administration
00:54:54.780 that he
00:54:55.700 claims has
00:54:56.420 caused all
00:54:56.980 the misery
00:54:57.540 that we
00:54:58.120 Hondurans
00:54:59.060 are living
00:54:59.720 through.
00:55:00.720 Sadly, the
00:55:01.640 migrants have
00:55:02.300 been lied
00:55:02.840 to and have
00:55:03.500 been told that
00:55:04.080 America must
00:55:04.880 accept them.
00:55:06.120 In one news
00:55:06.680 report, a lady
00:55:07.640 was interviewed
00:55:08.300 and she told
00:55:09.720 the Honduran
00:55:10.320 reporter that
00:55:11.380 they were
00:55:11.640 promised buses
00:55:12.480 to travel on
00:55:13.500 once they got
00:55:14.040 to Guatemala,
00:55:14.820 but there were
00:55:15.080 no buses
00:55:15.540 waiting for
00:55:16.260 them.
00:55:17.060 Some of the
00:55:17.400 migrants have
00:55:18.000 returned home.
00:55:19.240 One 22-year-old
00:55:20.340 man died in
00:55:21.180 Mexico for
00:55:21.860 reasons unknown
00:55:22.800 as of yet.
00:55:24.180 What's really
00:55:24.620 sad and
00:55:25.200 frustrating is
00:55:26.260 many of these
00:55:27.120 migrants have
00:55:28.100 been told
00:55:29.820 that they will
00:55:30.760 get in and
00:55:31.580 they'll have
00:55:32.120 jobs waiting
00:55:32.980 for them when
00:55:33.560 they arrive in
00:55:34.220 America.
00:55:35.300 Therefore, many
00:55:36.100 are good with
00:55:36.900 hopes of a
00:55:37.480 better life.
00:55:38.460 But this is
00:55:39.020 the type of
00:55:39.520 situation that
00:55:40.260 these criminals
00:55:40.980 who are the
00:55:42.220 originators of
00:55:43.320 this march
00:55:43.840 will take
00:55:44.280 advantage of.
00:55:47.280 Somebody's
00:55:47.880 messing with
00:55:48.400 them.
00:55:49.240 And we
00:55:49.900 have to
00:55:50.260 remember that
00:55:50.880 most members
00:55:51.940 of the
00:55:52.280 caravan are
00:55:53.140 ineligible for
00:55:54.060 asylum.
00:55:55.080 Earlier this
00:55:55.800 year, the
00:55:56.720 Department of
00:55:57.140 Justice clarified
00:55:57.880 that you cannot
00:55:58.840 claim asylum
00:55:59.640 simply because
00:56:00.860 your home
00:56:01.320 country is
00:56:01.860 unsafe.
00:56:02.840 By definition,
00:56:04.000 by law,
00:56:04.800 asylees face
00:56:05.960 individual and
00:56:08.660 particularized danger
00:56:10.060 in their home
00:56:10.800 countries.
00:56:12.420 And because
00:56:13.180 there's no
00:56:13.620 legal basis
00:56:14.340 for the vast
00:56:14.960 majority of
00:56:15.520 those in the
00:56:15.900 caravan to
00:56:16.580 remain in the
00:56:17.060 United States,
00:56:18.240 we end up
00:56:19.120 doing what
00:56:20.160 we can to
00:56:21.720 prevent people
00:56:22.320 from making
00:56:22.760 the journey
00:56:23.260 at all.
00:56:24.200 But this
00:56:24.720 statement you
00:56:25.640 just read is
00:56:26.540 part of this
00:56:27.380 narrative, this
00:56:29.540 false rhetoric
00:56:30.380 that is
00:56:31.380 perpetuating the
00:56:32.500 problem.
00:56:33.300 And I think it
00:56:33.840 needs to be
00:56:34.240 called out as
00:56:34.840 such.
00:56:35.320 Just because
00:56:36.160 they have a
00:56:36.940 country that
00:56:37.560 is a mess,
00:56:38.400 a government
00:56:39.200 that has made
00:56:39.880 life unplugged
00:56:40.800 for everyone
00:56:42.260 there, does
00:56:43.440 not mean that
00:56:44.360 any particular
00:56:45.220 person necessarily
00:56:46.800 has a valid
00:56:47.800 claim for
00:56:48.480 asylum in the
00:56:49.080 United States.
00:56:50.700 Mike, have
00:56:51.460 you heard
00:56:51.900 anything talking
00:56:53.320 to Senator
00:56:53.780 Mike Lee?
00:56:54.680 Have you heard
00:56:55.100 anything about
00:56:55.840 what Mike Pence
00:56:56.880 revealed, I
00:56:57.680 think it was
00:56:58.120 not yesterday,
00:56:58.900 day before,
00:57:00.320 on that
00:57:02.560 Venezuela is
00:57:04.240 behind the
00:57:04.920 funding of
00:57:05.900 this?
00:57:08.260 I had not
00:57:09.300 heard that,
00:57:09.840 but we're
00:57:12.020 hearing all
00:57:12.700 the time
00:57:13.140 different
00:57:13.460 theories about
00:57:14.220 who might
00:57:14.960 be funding
00:57:15.400 it.
00:57:16.480 That is
00:57:17.140 interesting.
00:57:17.780 It's an
00:57:18.020 interesting
00:57:18.300 theory that
00:57:18.880 Venezuela
00:57:19.220 might be
00:57:19.680 doing it
00:57:19.940 because
00:57:20.160 Venezuela
00:57:20.580 is broke.
00:57:22.040 Venezuela
00:57:22.340 is perhaps
00:57:23.060 as broke
00:57:24.340 as any
00:57:24.860 country in
00:57:25.640 the region
00:57:26.020 right now.
00:57:27.300 And so
00:57:27.660 that would
00:57:28.120 really be
00:57:28.520 something if
00:57:29.020 they were
00:57:29.260 doing it.
00:57:29.700 what do
00:57:31.380 we do
00:57:31.720 if they
00:57:32.100 make it
00:57:32.380 to the
00:57:32.620 border,
00:57:33.440 Mike?
00:57:34.660 I mean,
00:57:35.440 Univision,
00:57:37.080 I think,
00:57:37.520 it's Univision,
00:57:38.240 is reporting
00:57:38.700 that that
00:57:39.080 number is
00:57:39.440 now 14,000.
00:57:40.700 I think
00:57:40.960 that's hard
00:57:41.340 to believe,
00:57:41.820 but you
00:57:42.640 know,
00:57:42.760 you even
00:57:43.000 have 5,000
00:57:43.980 people at
00:57:44.500 the border.
00:57:45.280 What do
00:57:45.500 we do?
00:57:48.360 It's
00:57:48.800 difficult to
00:57:50.180 say.
00:57:50.560 I hope and
00:57:51.300 pray that it
00:57:52.360 doesn't come
00:57:52.900 to that.
00:57:53.820 Because,
00:57:54.340 first of all,
00:57:54.760 think about
00:57:55.080 what that would
00:57:55.600 do to our
00:57:56.120 already overwhelmed
00:57:57.160 immigration
00:57:58.220 courts.
00:57:59.300 Our
00:57:59.520 immigration
00:57:59.900 courts are
00:58:00.460 nowhere near
00:58:01.900 being ready
00:58:02.800 to handle
00:58:03.720 that kind
00:58:04.300 of volume.
00:58:05.180 They're
00:58:05.360 nowhere near
00:58:05.860 ready to
00:58:06.840 be handling
00:58:07.360 the kind
00:58:07.720 of volume
00:58:08.080 that they've
00:58:08.520 already got.
00:58:10.600 And so
00:58:11.380 I suspect
00:58:13.220 that we
00:58:13.640 will need
00:58:14.000 to bring
00:58:17.460 out a
00:58:17.960 whole lot
00:58:18.280 of additional
00:58:18.720 human resources,
00:58:19.740 let's just
00:58:20.120 say,
00:58:20.460 in order to
00:58:21.020 make sure
00:58:21.460 that our
00:58:22.520 border isn't
00:58:23.160 completely
00:58:23.600 overrun and
00:58:25.280 that it
00:58:25.820 doesn't just
00:58:26.420 become a
00:58:26.840 free-for-all
00:58:27.340 for people
00:58:27.760 to enter
00:58:28.020 the country
00:58:28.460 unlawfully.
00:58:29.240 We have
00:58:29.460 no idea,
00:58:30.580 no ability
00:58:31.160 to control
00:58:31.680 who comes
00:58:32.140 in once
00:58:32.600 there's
00:58:32.980 that kind
00:58:34.480 of stampede
00:58:35.080 coming in
00:58:35.580 all at
00:58:35.900 once.
00:58:36.780 So we've
00:58:37.780 got to
00:58:37.980 protect our
00:58:38.480 border.
00:58:39.660 Senator Mike
00:58:40.420 Lee,
00:58:40.740 last
00:58:40.960 questions.
00:58:41.520 Any
00:58:41.680 comments
00:58:42.460 on the
00:58:44.840 multiple
00:58:46.220 pipe bombs
00:58:46.920 that were
00:58:47.220 delivered?
00:58:49.340 That's
00:58:49.940 tragic.
00:58:50.540 It's
00:58:50.740 frightening.
00:58:51.520 I
00:58:51.660 condemn
00:58:52.720 anyone
00:58:53.780 who
00:58:54.320 did it,
00:58:56.600 and I
00:58:56.940 condemn
00:58:57.260 anyone
00:58:57.680 who
00:58:58.280 says
00:58:59.260 anything
00:58:59.800 to
00:59:00.980 applaud
00:59:01.460 or
00:59:01.800 encourage
00:59:02.320 or
00:59:02.560 support
00:59:03.000 that
00:59:03.200 kind
00:59:03.420 of
00:59:03.540 action.
00:59:05.060 This
00:59:05.620 is not
00:59:06.740 something
00:59:07.040 we can
00:59:07.400 tolerate
00:59:07.820 in
00:59:08.220 American
00:59:08.560 political
00:59:09.420 discourse.
00:59:10.560 And I
00:59:11.020 look forward
00:59:11.440 to the
00:59:11.680 day when
00:59:11.980 we find
00:59:12.380 the
00:59:12.520 perpetrators
00:59:13.020 responsible,
00:59:14.160 and I
00:59:14.420 think they
00:59:14.860 should be
00:59:15.240 punished
00:59:15.640 to the
00:59:16.060 maximum
00:59:16.400 extent
00:59:16.940 possible
00:59:17.820 under
00:59:18.080 the
00:59:18.240 law.
00:59:18.480 You
00:59:19.460 would
00:59:19.660 classify
00:59:20.060 them,
00:59:21.180 let me
00:59:21.860 rephrase
00:59:22.240 that,
00:59:22.760 I would
00:59:23.160 classify
00:59:23.700 whoever
00:59:24.380 did this
00:59:25.080 as
00:59:25.980 terrorists.
00:59:27.040 Would
00:59:27.420 you
00:59:27.560 classify
00:59:27.880 them
00:59:28.160 as
00:59:28.280 terrorists?
00:59:29.040 Without
00:59:29.560 question.
00:59:30.520 Without
00:59:30.940 question.
00:59:31.640 And they
00:59:31.940 need to
00:59:32.160 be punished
00:59:32.600 as such.
00:59:33.400 Okay.
00:59:33.980 Thank you,
00:59:34.740 Mike.
00:59:34.940 Appreciate
00:59:35.220 it.

00:59:44.080 great people
00:59:44.700 in our
00:59:45.480 country that
00:59:46.740 have passed,
00:59:47.320 the people
00:59:47.700 who have
00:59:47.900 been written
00:59:48.220 out of
00:59:48.520 history,
00:59:49.360 it's a
00:59:49.600 book that

00:59:51.800 great to
