The Glenn Beck Program - 10⧸9⧸17 - 'Indigenous Peoples Day'

00:00:00.760 The Blaze Radio Network. On Demand.

00:00:09.440 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:14.980 It was one week ago that we began the recovery process from the deadliest mass shooting in American history.

00:00:22.420 Stephen Paddock killed 58 people, injured hundreds more.

00:00:25.700 The horror is equal only in how bizarre the investigation has been.

00:00:32.680 Conspiracy theories now top off political posturing, making an already incredibly complex case even harder to make any sense of.

00:00:42.460 Let's stay away from the politics and let's stay away from the conspiracy theories.

00:00:48.760 First, the posturing. Just took a few hours for the calls for gun control to come trumpeting from the left.

00:00:57.600 We also heard a few new words like bump stock.

00:01:01.660 A bump stock is a device that turns a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic weapon without modifying the gun.

00:01:07.660 People have been bump firing ever since semi-automatic rifles existed.

00:01:11.900 It's a hillbilly machine gun. All it takes is a trigger finger and a belt loop.

00:01:19.620 It's a firing technique that was created after automatic weapons ban of 1986.

00:01:25.920 Bump stock attachments were born right after the ban.

00:01:31.200 Gun attachments.

00:01:33.180 Gun attachments that provide a way to circumvent the law should be regulated.

00:01:38.000 Whether you agree with it or not, there is a law against owning fully automatic weapons.

00:01:43.640 Bump stock attachments should be regulated under the law.

00:01:47.100 But the calls for a full-on ban is ridiculous for this reason.

00:01:52.880 Tell me the last time a full-on ban of anything did anything.

00:01:59.300 How has the ban on illicit drugs gone?

00:02:02.600 How about the ban on guns in places like Washington, D.C.?

00:02:06.000 After D.C. banned guns in 1976, homicides rose from 188 to 364 in just in 10 years.

00:02:15.520 Now, that's because, well, you can buy those guns and bring them in, according to people like Michael Bloomberg.

00:02:21.380 Well, not in Australia.

00:02:23.140 That's a giant continent by itself.

00:02:26.500 In Australia, guns were confiscated.

00:02:29.560 No one can have a gun.

00:02:31.020 Studies show that the gun ban had zero effect on gun-related homicide.

00:02:37.160 Britain also has similar results.

00:02:40.580 But there are people that don't want you to know those facts.

00:02:43.920 Because it's easy to turn people against guns.

00:02:49.120 Second, the failure to find any motive has made this shooting the most bizarre case I can remember.

00:02:57.480 Paddock had more than 20 weapons in his room.

00:03:02.400 And we've been shown zero footage of him carrying anything through the hotel?

00:03:08.100 That's just flat-out bizarre.

00:03:10.120 Why?

00:03:11.280 There have been multiple reports of possible accomplices.

00:03:15.820 But we've not been shown a photo or video footage of him in the hotel lobby.

00:03:21.220 A hotel casino has more cameras than a federal prison.

00:03:27.120 The truth is, is this attack should be the most well-documented crime in history.

00:03:33.860 But for some reason, we're not seeing the footage.

00:03:36.640 And that just needs to be addressed.

00:03:38.520 And the footage needs to be released.

00:03:39.860 Because what's going to happen is more conspiracy theories are going to be coming out.

00:03:44.680 This is enabling people from ISIS to Alex Jones to come up with their own claims for what drove Paddock to commit his crime.

00:03:54.080 How do we not know what his motive was?

00:03:57.320 How do we not know every single detail that happened, at least in the casino?

00:04:01.980 Despite what we don't know, there is no question that this man was deeply disturbed.

00:04:09.360 Since the early 90s, the number of people treated for depression has tripled in America.

00:04:15.420 The number of people on antipsychotic medication is greater than that.

00:04:20.400 A survey by the National Institute of Mental Health found that an astonishing 46% has at least one kind of mental illness.

00:04:29.400 46%.

00:04:30.400 From 2000 to 2010, the suicide rate among Americans, 35 to 64, increased 30%.

00:04:38.740 For men in Steven Paddock's age range, that number goes up by 50%.

00:04:43.960 Out of every 100,000 men in the 50s and 60s, 30 will kill themselves.

00:04:55.800 Guns are not the problem.

00:04:58.980 We are.

00:05:00.400 Something is wrong.

00:05:03.200 And we know it because we see evidence of it everywhere.

00:05:09.400 It's not the devices that we hold or the guns that we have or don't have.

00:05:14.860 There's something wrong inside.

00:05:19.860 We're experiencing a tidal wave of mental illness in this country.

00:05:24.640 And we've got to get proactive in dealing with it.

00:05:31.040 So what is it you can do?

00:05:35.260 Well, how's your own family?

00:05:36.620 I got up this morning and I saw a Facebook post from a friend of mine, Delilah, the radio show host.

00:05:45.740 She posted on Saturday that her teenage son had committed suicide.

00:05:53.820 He'd been struggling for a while.

00:05:55.520 How's that long-lost friend of yours that you've been thinking about but hasn't called and you haven't called them?

00:06:08.720 How are your neighbors?

00:06:09.960 Invite a co-worker to lunch today.

00:06:16.980 Talk to them.

00:06:18.140 Because really, everything that ills our society is on us.

00:06:26.560 And we're going to be the only ones that can fix it.

00:06:41.660 It's Monday, October 9th.

00:06:43.620 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:06:45.560 So Harvey Weinstein is out of the Weinstein Company.

00:06:54.840 And people on the right don't care about this story, but you should.

00:07:01.140 Because this is a very important story.

00:07:07.940 This is the left finally going after their own.

00:07:12.400 Harvey Weinstein is probably the biggest predator out there that we have seen next to Bill Cosby, maybe Roger Ailes.

00:07:34.140 But Roger Ailes doesn't seem to have the track record that Harvey Weinstein has.

00:07:42.400 The stories that are coming out now about Harvey Weinstein.

00:07:46.260 And stories coming from people like Ashley Judd.

00:07:50.460 I mean, where have you been, Ashley?

00:07:53.520 You're out speaking out about everything else.

00:07:59.240 It's interesting that Ashley Judd came out against Donald Trump so hard.

00:08:04.120 And yet waited on Harvey Weinstein.

00:08:07.840 The stories that are coming all involve him in a hotel room, in a restaurant, trapping some woman, asking some woman first for a massage or to watch him bathe or to watch him shower.

00:08:31.840 Horrible story.

00:08:33.840 Horrible story.

00:08:35.860 Megan Kelly has on today on her TV show of this woman in Long Island who went to a restaurant and he closed the door behind them and made his advance on this woman.

00:08:52.420 And she turned him down and she turned him down and he dropped his pants and took care of business while she stood there.

00:09:01.280 Bizarre.

00:09:02.280 Awful.

00:09:04.520 Ugly.

00:09:07.580 He has reached at least eight settlements with women.

00:09:11.260 This is going on from the 90s, from 1990, the first settlement.

00:09:19.000 But if you look at the settlement and the New York Times is kind of celebrating this, that, you know, Roger Ailes settlement were in the millions.

00:09:29.060 The Harvey's was only 150,000 to 100,000.

00:09:32.700 Well, yes, possibly because they knew nobody's going to believe you.

00:09:38.240 Nobody's going to cover this.

00:09:40.400 Where everybody, they knew everybody was out for Roger Ailes.

00:09:44.560 So, of course, the New York Times would cover that.

00:09:47.420 But did the New York Times cover all of the eight settlements?

00:09:50.700 And now the New York Times is saying that his were only $150,000.

00:09:57.900 The women were abused twice because of his power.

00:10:05.280 Roger Ailes, there was pushback on.

00:10:09.300 Harvey, there was none.

00:10:10.500 And for anybody in the Weinstein group to say that they didn't know is absolutely ridiculous.

00:10:17.840 How did you not know?

00:10:24.560 Lisa Bloom, who was one of the people who took down Bill O'Reilly, she said,

00:10:32.720 quote, Harvey's just an old dinosaur learning new ways.

00:10:40.080 No, I don't think so.

00:10:42.140 Maybe, maybe walking down the hall and saying, which Bill O'Reilly claims he never said,

00:10:48.320 hey, hot chocolate, maybe that's an old dinosaur.

00:10:53.160 But dropping your pants and masturbating in front of a woman in a restaurant,

00:10:59.320 that's not an old dinosaur.

00:11:02.180 That's a sexual predator.

00:11:03.820 Why the looks, Stu?

00:11:10.380 No, it's, uh, it definitely does not seem like old-time thinking, I would say.

00:11:17.100 Uh, no.

00:11:17.380 It's also, uh, very, I mean, I know this is a sign from the story,

00:11:21.540 but isn't it a really weird thing to do?

00:11:23.940 I mean, outside of the fact that it's horrifically offensive and obviously a crime,

00:11:28.000 but it's also just a very strange, like, you want someone to watch you bathe?

00:11:33.040 I don't even like watch and walk in front of a mirror in the bathroom.

00:11:35.820 I know.

00:11:36.240 And have you seen Harvey?

00:11:37.420 He's disgusting.

00:11:38.940 Yeah.

00:11:39.200 In every way.

00:11:40.140 Even his own descriptions of himself, if he was picking up the women,

00:11:42.920 he was calling himself a fat, rich Jew.

00:11:47.840 It was his own description of himself.

00:11:50.640 I mean, it is a weird story and it's interesting.

00:11:54.800 Because, I mean, I think there's going to be the argument, right, that these things,

00:11:58.960 uh, you know, Roger Ailes was seemingly getting away with this behavior for a long time

00:12:03.660 before it came out.

00:12:04.660 I mean, this stuff is, you know, because he had power.

00:12:06.960 Yeah.

00:12:07.380 And because nobody was willing to take Roger Ailes on because he was deadly.

00:12:11.320 He was deadly.

00:12:12.000 He had a great PR strategy that allowed him to destroy anybody who was in his way.

00:12:19.820 And so you didn't take him on.

00:12:21.080 And honestly, that wouldn't have happened with Ailes if it wasn't for Megyn Kelly.

00:12:25.880 Yeah.

00:12:26.040 I really believe that Megyn Kelly was the one who had, uh, the chops to be able to finally

00:12:33.000 say, yep, this happened to me.

00:12:34.700 And everybody believed.

00:12:37.220 Because she was at the top of her career.

00:12:39.480 And look at how they're treating Megyn Kelly now.

00:12:41.900 Here she, I mean, she's a, she's a hero.

00:12:44.420 She's the one to the left, to the left.

00:12:46.500 She's the one who took him down.

00:12:48.160 I mean, completely separate from her political viewpoints.

00:12:51.180 Like, I mean, this is a, no, this is, they always say this goes beyond politics, but

00:12:55.140 I does it for them.

00:12:55.980 I don't think it doesn't look.

00:12:57.100 I mean, Saturday Night Live doesn't even comment on this.

00:12:59.500 There's no joke.

00:13:00.380 No, no, they had the jokes.

00:13:01.520 Yeah.

00:13:01.680 And they took them out of them, right?

00:13:02.840 They shelved them.

00:13:03.980 Uh, you know, how do you shelve?

00:13:05.500 How do, how do the people at Saturday Night Live live with themselves?

00:13:10.120 How do you think that you are not just a shill for somebody if you have all these jokes and

00:13:18.140 you pull them for what?

00:13:20.140 For what?

00:13:23.680 You're pulling them for Harvey Weinstein?

00:13:26.220 Their excuse was they didn't connect with the live audience, which is, uh, some people

00:13:30.500 who are in the audience, you know, differed with that analysis.

00:13:33.560 Uh-huh.

00:13:33.940 Um, and, you know, I mean, do you know Harvey Weinstein?

00:13:36.480 I mean, I guess probably not every, most people would just know that as maybe, you

00:13:40.380 know, the company.

00:13:42.240 Like, you're not like in, he's, he's a, an inside Hollywood figure at some level, which

00:13:47.340 I understand.

00:13:48.440 But I mean, this is too big of a deal.

00:13:50.080 It's their world.

00:13:51.460 You know, it's, this is in their world.

00:13:54.480 This guy had connections to all these people.

00:13:56.780 See, this is why I think that they, this is why I think they, they, uh, don't believe

00:14:02.860 people who are actually decent, who aren't like this because in their world, almost everybody's

00:14:11.360 like this.

00:14:11.940 Yeah.

00:14:12.800 You know what I mean?

00:14:13.700 Almost everybody is like this.

00:14:15.500 You talk to anybody from Hollywood and they'll tell you this is, this is the normal story.

00:14:20.200 So if you're surrounded in that world and this is your normal story, of course you think

00:14:25.760 everybody's like that.

00:14:28.800 The hypocrisy is just, is remarkable.

00:14:32.500 Now the good news is, is that it is, it is come out now.

00:14:36.480 And so perhaps there will be, uh, you know, an equal cutting of the grass and it will actually

00:14:44.600 make a difference this time.

00:14:46.260 Maybe this behavior will actually stop.

00:14:48.660 You take Harvey Weinstein down.

00:14:50.920 That's a pretty big deal.

00:14:52.500 Yeah.

00:14:52.580 They're saying, I mean, they're one of the, I think there was a woman who was, had the

00:14:56.780 incident in, in the Italian restaurant with the potted plant, uh, that she had to endure,

00:15:01.280 uh, was, uh, said that basically there was no way to do this.

00:15:05.080 Like only very recently has this become a winning battle for these women.

00:15:09.680 And if that's, you know, that's the case.

00:15:12.080 And I, you know, I hope that it is.

00:15:14.300 I think that's great news, right?

00:15:15.980 Like you should be, if a predator like this should be able to be taken down, if these

00:15:20.640 things are real.

00:15:21.620 Um, and the thing about Weinstein, which is different than some of the other people who

00:15:25.640 have been accused is he doesn't seem to be all that he's not, he's not too much into

00:15:29.440 the denial aspect of it.

00:15:30.740 No, I seem to be kind of admitting that he was doing these things.

00:15:33.500 And I can't believe that they're now saying, well, he's going to go through therapy and

00:15:36.940 then he'll be able to come back.

00:15:38.660 Excuse me.

00:15:39.340 These are crimes.

00:15:40.960 That's not how we deal with crimes.

00:15:42.380 I mean, it's, it's crazy.

00:15:44.060 They're just like, well, you know, he's an old dinosaur and he just needs some help and

00:15:47.520 he's going to get some help and then he'll be back.

00:15:49.860 Um, gosh, that's an awfully, that's an awfully Christ-like, uh, uh, attitude coming from the

00:15:57.620 left.

00:15:58.020 That's, uh, that's amazing.

00:15:59.720 Yeah.

00:15:59.860 I mean, just accusations were enough to, to drum you out of everything for all time.

00:16:07.380 Just the accusation, not the proof.

00:16:10.740 Just the accusation is enough to drive you out.

00:16:14.940 He's allowed to get some therapy and then come on back.

00:16:19.100 Unbelievable.

00:16:29.860 Most Americans only have a couple of days of non-perishable food in their homes.

00:16:34.660 If an emergency strikes, grocery store shelves are bare within a couple of hours and relief

00:16:40.600 sometimes takes a couple of days or maybe even a week to show up.

00:16:44.100 If at all, there is a better way.

00:16:46.860 And that is having food storage for emergency scenarios.

00:16:50.060 It means you never have to deal with, you know, not having something to eat during a crisis.

00:17:49.900 Glenn Beck.

00:17:56.580 Glenn Beck.

00:17:59.780 Some amazing audio coming your way.

00:18:03.040 Um, also we want to talk about how to reduce mass shooting deaths.

00:18:07.600 Experts say these gun laws can help.

00:18:11.240 Uh, yeah.

00:18:12.800 How about making murder illegal?

00:18:14.220 Someone start with that.

00:18:15.440 Yeah.

00:18:15.640 I mean, it's the thing.

00:18:16.360 They just continue to allow this to go on and people aren't deterred because there's

00:18:20.880 no price to pay for murder.

00:18:22.920 67% of the public say an assault weapons ban would be, would be effective and they would

00:18:29.620 agree with it.

00:18:30.620 A semi-automatic gun ban, 62%.

00:18:33.240 Okay.

00:18:34.760 You know what this is?

00:18:35.460 This is, this is a, this is somebody not understanding what a semi-automatic weapon is.

00:18:41.240 Okay.

00:18:43.000 If you would say, I don't want to have semi-automatic guns, then you have to go back to cowboy guns.

00:18:49.580 You have to go back to a revolver.

00:18:51.980 Okay.

00:18:52.800 It's technology.

00:18:53.980 It would be like saying, you don't need a laptop and an iPhone.

00:18:59.000 Yeah.

00:19:00.080 Technology has changed.

00:19:01.600 So it's just a new way of, of a gun.

00:19:05.940 And it's been around since, you know, world war one, uh, semi-automatic guns are not new.

00:19:14.600 They're not new.

00:19:17.480 And if you don't have a semi-automatic gun, then you have to go back to a cowboy gun.

00:19:21.800 And if you don't like the cowboy guns, well, you can go back to the Flintlock.

00:19:26.060 But those are the three choices, Flintlock, cowboy gun, semi-automatic.

00:19:34.360 It's only the matter of improvements in time.

00:19:40.060 People don't understand that a semi-automatic gun is a normal gun.

00:19:46.240 Yeah.

00:19:46.940 Anyone who, because I think so many people don't come from that culture.

00:19:50.640 You don't, there's a lot of people who never live in a house.

00:19:53.820 I never did until my house that I live in now, but had guns.

00:19:56.960 I mean, that's just not the culture I came from.

00:19:58.700 And I think it is a really high percentage of people who live in, you know, the Northeast

00:20:04.300 and other areas where that's, it's just not part of your life.

00:20:06.940 So you just think people, when you think of a gun, that's a semi-automatic gun.

00:20:10.320 Yeah.

00:20:10.860 That's it.

00:20:11.160 That's, that's a gun.

00:20:12.080 That's a normal gun.

00:20:12.880 Normal gun.

00:20:13.220 That's a normal gun.

00:20:14.040 The typical gun you'd have.

00:20:15.280 Right.

00:20:15.680 And everybody's made it into a horrible gun.

00:20:17.900 It's a normal gun.

00:20:23.820 Glenn Beck.

00:20:32.160 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:34.600 I can't think of a time in American history in the, in my lifetime that it's been harder

00:20:42.640 to find a man who will stand up for what is right, even against all odds and stand up

00:20:51.600 because it is right.

00:20:52.800 Even if it hurts him, I've never experienced a time in my life where it is more important

00:20:59.360 to zoom out and look at the big principles as opposed to zooming in and seeing the daily

00:21:05.840 squabbles.

00:21:07.580 And that's what we want to, that's what we want to do here in this segment.

00:21:13.000 Yeah.

00:21:13.120 There's a new book called Scalia Speaks, Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well-Lived.

00:21:17.520 Antonin Scalia, certainly a guy that represents what you're talking about.

00:21:20.420 Uh, and the book is by, uh, one of the co-editors is Ed Whelan.

00:21:24.340 He's, uh, probably read his stuff online with National Review, uh, and the book just came

00:21:29.820 out and Ed joins us now.

00:21:31.420 Hey, Ed, this is a collection of speeches.

00:21:34.500 Some of them were unknown that he gave.

00:21:38.520 That's right, Glenn.

00:21:39.420 Actually, almost all of them, uh, had never been published anywhere before.

00:21:42.940 It's a real treasure trove of Justice Scalia's thoughts, not just on law, but on faith, on

00:21:48.740 learning, on life.

00:21:50.420 Uh, I think everyone will find it just a delight.

00:21:53.440 So, so Ed, could you find any place, um, as you were looking at his speeches and you were

00:21:59.940 looking at his life, could you find any place to where you think he was deeply, uh, conflicted

00:22:05.920 in the sense that he didn't want to make a decision or didn't want to do something, but

00:22:11.320 because he believed in the Constitution, he did make that tough choice?

00:22:16.320 Well, he made quite clear that one example of that, uh, is on the, the, the matter of

00:22:21.280 flag burning, that, uh, you know, he, uh, made the decisive vote back in the late 80s,

00:22:28.280 holding that laws that specifically target flag burning violate the First Amendment.

00:22:33.320 He makes quite clear that, that if, if he had his, his way, you know, hippie flag burners

00:22:38.380 would be tossed in jail.

00:22:39.480 Uh, so that's just one example.

00:22:41.740 A lot, lots of areas of, of criminal procedure, um, are, are, are, are another.

00:22:46.940 And then even on the hot button issues on, um, um, that are so contested, it's important

00:22:52.760 to recognize that his position was that these are matters left to the democratic processes

00:22:58.480 to be decided one way or another.

00:23:01.400 He did not, unlike folks on the left, misread the Constitution to impose his supposed views

00:23:08.600 on, say, abortion and on marriage.

00:23:11.540 Did he, did he ever, one of the things that is going around right now is this idea that

00:23:16.180 our, our rights come from God and not the government.

00:23:20.400 And it seems bizarre at how many people believe that somehow or another, that rights don't

00:23:27.780 come from God, that they, they do come from, uh, a, a man-made source.

00:23:33.020 Did you find anything where he was talking about that?

00:23:35.180 Oh, absolutely.

00:23:36.560 It recurs, uh, throughout his speeches, his recognition that our founding principles, uh,

00:23:42.220 recognize that our rights come from God and that the Constitution sets up a structure that's

00:23:47.480 designed to protect and, and, and fulfill those rights.

00:23:50.880 Absolutely.

00:23:51.620 That's at the very heart of his understanding of what America is.

00:23:55.540 And I would just add that on this Columbus Day, uh, you know, what better opportunity to

00:24:00.080 highlight the first Italian American justice, a justice who celebrated, uh, that one could

00:24:07.060 both be, uh, Italian American and be a 100% American.

00:24:12.060 It's a beautiful speech that he gave just a month after he got on the court, where he talks

00:24:16.880 about, uh, what, what makes an American, uh, and it says, no matter your blood, your place

00:24:22.760 of birth, what makes it is embracing the principles of this country.

00:24:26.180 And I, and I'm afraid we see too many people abandoning those principles and your example

00:24:30.260 of, uh, believing that their rights are whatever government confers are, are just one example.

00:24:35.000 Yeah.

00:24:35.080 I mean, Ed, it's amazing on, on Columbus Day today where they have security around the

00:24:39.200 Columbus statue has now become some big controversy, uh, where Scalia in 2005 actually was able to

00:24:46.340 become the grand marshal of the Columbus Day parade, which was a really big deal to him,

00:24:50.440 right?

00:24:51.120 It was a huge deal.

00:24:52.520 He just delighted in it.

00:24:53.680 He had, uh, marched, uh, in, in the parade when he was in the junior ROTC regiment at,

00:25:01.320 uh, Xavier high school, uh, in Manhattan.

00:25:04.220 And as he said, um, you know, decades later, this is the top of the hill to be grand marshal

00:25:10.180 in your hometown for an Italian kid from Queens.

00:25:13.060 There could be no greater thrill than to march one last time as grand marshal of the Columbus

00:25:17.500 day parade.

00:25:18.220 So he took great pride, uh, in, uh, being Italian American.

00:25:23.220 But again, he emphasized that you, um, he wasn't a, uh, a partial American.

00:25:29.160 He and other Italian Americans were, could be fully American precisely because they embraced

00:25:34.540 the American creed.

00:25:35.540 So as you, as you look at, um, today's landscape, do you see many people like him?

00:25:46.040 Um, he is in many respects, one of a kind at the same time, he has a tremendous legacy in

00:25:57.860 the, uh, law clerks, law students, lawyers, uh, he has influenced.

00:26:03.100 Uh, so I think in the legal realm, uh, we are very much, uh, living, uh, in a, um, legal world

00:26:12.980 that is defined around Justice Scalia.

00:26:15.480 Many folks define themselves against him, but many others define themselves with him.

00:26:20.060 And I think you see in Justice Gorsuch's, uh, selection and confirmation, just one of the

00:26:25.780 many, uh, great legacies of Justice Scalia.

00:26:28.020 Uh, I think what you see from the book is, uh, is Justice Scalia, the man in full, the,

00:26:33.460 the, the, the man who was a deep man of, a man of deep faith, a man who recognized that

00:26:39.960 the ultimate test of life is to live out one's faith properly.

00:26:44.100 Uh, there's a beautiful speech, uh, called the Christian as Cretan meant, um, ironically

00:26:50.280 that spells that out.

00:26:51.780 But again, one of the key points he makes throughout the book in so many speeches is that his obligation

00:26:57.920 uh, as a faithful Catholic is to not misconstrue the Constitution and other laws to, to, to

00:27:07.040 indulge his views.

00:27:08.240 That is, his very obligation as a Catholic means that he, that, that, that he, um, shall

00:27:13.420 not misread the Constitution.

00:27:15.400 As he put it, the only commandment of, of his faith that, that really, uh, bore on his

00:27:19.960 judging was, thou shalt not lie.

00:27:22.080 Thou shalt not lie about the meaning of the Constitution or of other laws.

00:27:25.240 Uh, Ed, we're talking to Ed Whalen, he's the author of, uh, of Scalia Speaks, Reflections

00:27:30.740 on Law, Faith, and Life Well-Lived.

00:27:32.200 The book itself is really, as you kind of pointed out, his whole world, right?

00:27:35.740 It's him as an individual, a person, his faith, his life, and, and the legal stuff.

00:27:41.560 He, he entered in my, into my thinking over the last week, however, as it relates to the

00:27:45.880 tragedy in, in Las Vegas.

00:27:47.220 And, you know, obviously the response to that is, has been largely, which ways will

00:27:53.200 we further infringe our right to bear arms?

00:27:56.260 And it's, it feels like, I was interested to see if you had perspective on what Scalia

00:28:00.800 believed, not only on, on something like this, where you'd have, um, you know, bump stocks,

00:28:05.340 for example, to potentially be banned, but also the automatic weapons ban itself.

00:28:09.160 What was his line when it came to where that right to bear arms stopped?

00:28:13.840 Well, we, we have his opinion in, in DC versus Heller, and, you know, I think it's, um, far

00:28:22.180 fetched for someone on the other side to try to claim some sort of connection between this

00:28:25.860 and the horrible incident last week.

00:28:28.000 I think it's, uh, uh, you know, more relevant to, to recognize that Justice Scalia, drawing

00:28:33.060 on the framers, saw that, uh, you know, virtue in the citizenry was essential to the survival

00:28:38.020 of this country.

00:28:38.660 And, uh, uh, and when you have, um, you know, just a deep collapse, uh, in, uh, in morals and

00:28:46.720 respect for life, um, you know, that's going to lead to some very bad things.

00:28:50.320 Now, uh, so I, I, I don't know what his, his, his particular, uh, you know, views might

00:28:55.360 have been on issues of gun policy or these bump stocks, whatever they're called.

00:28:59.020 But, uh, you know, the, the, the, the ruling in, in, uh, DC versus Heller was running, uh,

00:29:04.600 much narrower, um, uh, and, you know, I, I think, again, it's, uh, this fellow who committed

00:29:11.520 the massacre apparently violated gun law after gun law.

00:29:13.960 So, uh, it's, uh, it would be, uh, non-sequiturs to suggest that the, that the absence of gun laws

00:29:19.680 was a problem.

00:29:21.520 Ed, um, how is Gorsuch going to, how's he fitting these shoes?

00:29:26.860 Well, Justice Gorsuch, uh, you know, made quite clear that his, um, that he's dedicated

00:29:35.740 to originalism.

00:29:36.720 He's the first justice who was educated at law school and, uh, uh, in a time when Scalia

00:29:44.160 had influenced, um, what law is, what constitutional interpretation is.

00:29:49.860 I think that's a, a, a significant fact.

00:29:51.880 Uh, I am very hopeful that, uh, Justice Scalia will be, excuse me, Justice Scalia will be,

00:29:56.840 Justice Gorsuch will be a supremely fit successor to Justice Scalia.

00:29:59.900 Uh, he's, uh, certainly done very well so far and his, his record, uh, on the 10th circuit,

00:30:05.480 I think speaks very highly of his abilities.

00:30:08.220 Ed, thanks a lot.

00:30:08.780 Appreciate it.

00:30:14.140 Ed Whelan's book is Scalia Speaks, Reflections of Law, Faith, and a Life Well-Lived.

00:30:18.900 Uh, that is, uh, available, uh, everywhere now, uh, and he's also with the National Review

00:30:23.600 and the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

00:30:25.960 Garbage in, garbage out.

00:30:27.540 Make sure that everything that you're reading, everything that you're doing, you're putting

00:30:30.700 in really good, basic information and fuel into your mind.

00:30:35.000 And this is a good place to start.

00:30:36.440 So, the news lately.

00:30:41.100 What you're not hearing lately is the good guy that uses a gun to protect his family from

00:30:45.800 criminals.

00:30:47.080 What you will hear is the good guy gets arrested.

00:30:50.940 He's the one.

00:30:51.720 The recent story of the USCCA member and Army veteran, uh, Buddy Shepard.

00:30:57.000 He had military background.

00:30:59.200 He thought he was ready for anything.

00:31:00.800 Three guys with a gun come into his house, put his family safety in jeopardy.

00:31:06.140 And what does he do?

00:31:07.840 He grabs his pistol and he confronts these guys.

00:31:11.340 He holds them at bay.

00:31:13.540 When the cops arrive, he was outnumbered three to one.

00:31:18.380 And he was the one arrested.

00:31:20.880 He was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly firearm and tossed in

00:31:25.720 a jail cell.

00:31:26.780 The minimum sentence would have been three years in state prison.

00:31:30.300 Can you, I mean, hello?

00:31:35.960 Because Buddy is a USCCA member, the moment they got his call, they jumped into action

00:31:41.120 and they completely shielded him and his family from legal and financial ruin.

00:31:45.400 Right now, the USCCA is on a mission to provide every responsible American with free training

00:31:50.940 to make sure the good guys, people like you and me, don't go to jail for protecting your

00:31:55.020 family and your loved ones.

00:31:56.580 They have 164 pages.

00:31:57.980 It comes out with bonus audio version so you can listen to it in your car.

00:32:00.980 It's a life-changing guide on 100% free for a limited time.

00:32:05.240 You'll also get a bonus home defense checklist.

00:32:07.640 But the most important thing is you can become a member of the USCCA and you will be protected

00:32:13.600 like Buddy was.

00:32:15.760 I can't even, like, what would you even say to the police as they arrested you?

00:32:19.420 Here's what you need to say.

00:32:22.480 I'm a member of the USCCA.

00:32:24.260 I want my phone call.

00:32:27.620 Go there now.

00:32:31.420 Glenn Beck.

00:32:42.820 Glenn Beck.

00:32:44.740 It is Columbus Day and I don't know how I'm going to make it through with all this white

00:32:53.180 power and white privilege.

00:32:54.260 By the way, everybody on the ship except for Columbus, I believe, was a Spaniard.

00:32:59.480 So we should hate Hispanics today for what Hispanics did because Columbus got back onto

00:33:05.840 the ship and went back to Spain.

00:33:07.960 The guys he left who were all Spaniards, they were the real they were the real villains.

00:33:15.440 When he left, he left, I think, 34 of them behind and they were with the, quote, very friendly

00:33:23.040 Indians, as he called them.

00:33:25.420 And he brought, I think, two he called them interpreters, two Indians back to Spain to introduce

00:33:32.040 them and they all got along fine until Columbus came back and discovered that all 34 of the

00:33:40.020 guys have been killed.

00:33:42.980 Why?

00:33:44.540 We'll we'll tell you after the top of the hour.

00:33:48.060 Either way, happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:33:50.500 I think we can all come together and celebrate happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:33:54.020 Yes.

00:33:54.580 Yes.

00:33:55.140 Please don't.

00:33:55.560 Yes.

00:33:56.120 So I just wanted to show you if you happen to be listening, I just wanted to show you the

00:34:01.740 the difference between guns and what a a semi-automatic is.

00:34:09.100 And you need to show this to your friends.

00:34:10.400 You need to talk to your friends about this.

00:34:12.000 This is a semi-automatic pistol.

00:34:14.360 This is a pistol.

00:34:15.480 This is what everybody thinks a pistol looks like.

00:34:17.660 If it's not this, it's a it's a six shooter.

00:34:20.680 It's like a gun that John Wayne carried.

00:34:23.920 All other guns look like this.

00:34:25.920 This is what a semi-automatic is.

00:34:27.940 The only reason why it is semi-automatic is because when it fires, it pulls this back,

00:34:34.700 grabs another bullet and puts it back in.

00:34:37.520 So when you squeeze the trigger, you don't have to squeeze as far.

00:34:42.380 That's it.

00:34:43.940 However, this gun, this gun has a what's called a New York trigger on it.

00:34:49.900 So if you're carrying a cowboy gun, you only have six rounds in it.

00:34:54.120 The problem is, is unless you cock the hammer back, you have to pull the trigger and it takes

00:35:00.060 about 12 pounds of pressure to pull that trigger back.

00:35:03.920 That makes you that makes it hard to stay on target because it takes a lot of to pull it back.

00:35:12.520 That's why people wanted a semi-automatic.

00:35:14.720 You don't want to have all that pressure.

00:35:16.080 The New York trigger now, because of New York, actually replaces that.

00:35:22.220 So a semi-automatic is no big deal.

00:35:25.880 It's the same because you need the same amount of pressure to pull the hammer back.

00:35:32.120 Does that make sense to you?

00:35:33.340 Yeah.

00:35:33.600 I mean, and it's such an odd thing that so many of these ways they're supposed to control gun violence

00:35:38.560 are by making it more difficult to fire accurately, which is like when you have a gun,

00:35:44.040 if guns are going to be legal and we all, we have a second amendment that says that they

00:35:46.960 are, if they're going to be legal, shouldn't you want to hit the thing you're firing at

00:35:50.640 instead of other things in the background?

00:35:52.180 So I have a, I have a New York, I have a, I have a Glock like this.

00:35:56.140 That's New York.

00:35:57.340 Okay.

00:35:57.980 And then I have one that I bought in Texas.

00:36:00.540 We were out at the range last week and I said to Tanya, try this one.

00:36:04.740 She had been firing mine.

00:36:06.240 Accurate.

00:36:06.700 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:36:08.060 Accurate every time.

00:36:08.820 She pulls this one and her hands start to shake and she couldn't hit the target once.

00:36:14.100 Now, what's better?

00:36:16.840 What's better?

00:36:18.240 Harder to pull the trigger, which cannot go off accidentally.

00:36:23.000 That's, that's a complete fallacy.

00:36:25.560 They don't just go off by themselves.

00:36:27.640 So something that you're really trying to squeeze and it makes you less accurate or something

00:36:32.300 a little still won't go off, but something you have to pull and it's not as hard, but you're

00:36:37.720 accurate with it.

00:36:39.280 The, the, the, the idea that these gun laws need to be changed is ridiculous, is absolutely

00:36:47.640 ridiculous.

00:36:48.220 And anyone who says you got to get rid of all semi-automatics, I want you to know that's

00:36:53.320 all guns.

00:36:55.180 You're going back to cowboy guns.

00:36:57.460 You're going back to the, the Winchester rifle, the bolt action rifle, which, you know, my

00:37:08.160 grandparents had, this is new technology.

00:37:12.080 This is like, you don't need iOS 11.

00:37:14.700 You're fine with iOS two.

00:37:16.360 You're fine with it.

00:37:17.760 Just use iOS two.

00:37:19.240 Glenn Beck.

00:37:35.840 Love courage.

00:37:38.820 True.

00:37:39.980 Glenn Beck.

00:37:41.060 Be consistent.

00:37:42.260 Tell the truth and be authentic.

00:37:44.780 That's all that Americans want from the media.

00:37:46.980 Those three things surprisingly last week, the New York times delivered on that.

00:37:54.260 They ran a bombshell feature story about Harvey Weinstein's long history of sexually harassing

00:37:59.120 female employees, um, aspiring actresses and just about anybody, including a plant at a

00:38:05.440 restaurant.

00:38:05.800 It's sick.

00:38:07.180 You've probably seen his name about on 50% of the movies that you've watched in your

00:38:11.660 lifetime.

00:38:12.200 He is the movie producer behind best picture, uh, Oscar movies like Shakespeare in love

00:38:17.780 and the King's speech.

00:38:19.100 The New York times reported that he paid off at least eight women to keep them from talking

00:38:23.640 about his really super creepy, sleazy ways, uh, that he did business yesterday.

00:38:29.340 Last night, his company board of directors fired him.

00:38:32.580 So kudos to the New York times for running the story.

00:38:36.140 Couldn't have been an easy decision.

00:38:38.420 Weinstein moves in the same liberal elite circles as many of the other media honchos in

00:38:42.660 New York city.

00:38:43.560 He even hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton in his home last year.

00:38:47.340 She had turned her campaign into a referendum on Donald Trump's treatment of women.

00:38:52.000 It must've been a little uncomfortable, even though she gladly accepted the campaign

00:38:56.660 funds from the guy who was mistreating women for decades.

00:38:59.180 And everyone knew you would think another New York media institution, Saturday night

00:39:05.280 live would have had a field day with this Saturday night since they care so much about

00:39:10.640 women's rights.

00:39:11.520 Then they hammered Donald Trump last year for that access Hollywood tape.

00:39:15.240 But instead SNL decided to shelve all of the Weinstein jokes that they had prepared.

00:39:21.520 Perhaps maybe it hit a little too close to home for somebody in Saturday night live.

00:39:26.140 It couldn't have been NBC because today Megan Kelly had one of his accusers on her new show.

00:39:32.280 I know he called you the next day at your TV station.

00:39:34.500 I didn't have your phone number.

00:39:35.580 That's what you say.

00:39:36.140 And how did that go?

00:39:37.140 That was so crazy because the next day after I fled, basically, he called my station.

00:39:43.320 They said, I have Harvey Weinstein on the line for you.

00:39:45.320 And my heart sank.

00:39:46.680 And he said, I just want to let you know, I had a great time last night.

00:39:54.500 Excuse me?

00:39:55.540 Yeah, I had a great time last night.

00:39:56.940 I'm going away overseas on a trip.

00:39:59.480 I would love to see you again if that's something we could do.

00:40:03.540 I said, absolutely not.

00:40:06.620 I told you yesterday, I have a very serious boyfriend.

00:40:11.100 Absolutely not.

00:40:11.980 And I'm pretty sure I just hung up the phone quickly after.

00:40:14.940 It was a very short conversation.

00:40:16.100 But that was the most shocking part.

00:40:18.700 Okay, so now here we find ourselves in a place that I hope we can find that sweet spot between a witch hunt and the truth as we move forward.

00:40:29.740 But these things tend to move into the witch hunt quickly.

00:40:35.020 Whatever the case is here, just know one thing.

00:40:38.160 Last night, the Weinstein Company, the board of directors, did not fire him because they found out.

00:40:45.200 They fired him because you found out.

00:40:48.880 It's Monday, October 9th.

00:40:59.860 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:08.580 Joining us in studio, an author, radio host, commentator, extravaganza.

00:41:14.640 It's the author of Martin Luther, the man who discovered God and changed the world, Eric Metaxas.

00:41:20.080 Good friend, I haven't seen you since I think I left New York.

00:41:23.160 I think possibly.

00:41:24.680 How are you?

00:41:25.240 I may have seen you in Florida at some event.

00:41:27.180 It is great to see you.

00:41:29.020 I love you and admire you from a distance.

00:41:31.660 Well, likewise.

00:41:32.140 But now from a very short distance.

00:41:33.940 Glenn, thanks for having me.

00:41:34.960 Yeah, good to see you.

00:41:36.320 Your book, Bonhoeffer, just changed me.

00:41:39.840 Fundamentally changed me.

00:41:40.840 And you have made a career out of going in and highlighting these really amazing people that stood at critical times.

00:41:54.340 You did Bonhoeffer, Wilberforce, and now Martin Luther.

00:42:00.520 Martin Luther seems distant and dusty.

00:42:05.280 Dust him off.

00:42:06.540 You obviously haven't read the book, Glenn.

00:42:08.340 I have not.

00:42:08.800 I just got it today.

00:42:09.440 This book will blow the cobwebs off any dusty recollections you have.

00:42:14.140 I have to say, in all seriousness, as it is with every one of the books I've written, it wasn't my idea.

00:42:21.560 I kind of didn't want to write it.

00:42:23.500 You know, Bonhoeffer, you know the story.

00:42:25.880 Writing Bonhoeffer was tremendously painful and difficult for me.

00:42:29.420 I had to switch publishers.

00:42:30.500 It was an agony of my life.

00:42:31.960 People think I'm exaggerating.

00:42:33.300 It was hell.

00:42:33.880 But God spoke to me and he said, I have my hand on this book.

00:42:37.260 And he did.

00:42:39.520 But I really wasn't gung-ho to write another biography, I'll be honest with you.

00:42:43.020 But some friends, I dedicate the book to them, twisted my arm and kept saying, Eric, you wrote the Bonhoeffer book.

00:42:48.040 You're the guy to write the Luther book because it's the 500th anniversary.

00:42:51.560 And I actually thought, well, what 500th anniversary?

00:42:54.360 I'm not, you know, paying attention.

00:42:55.700 And they explained to me 1517 is the moment when he nailed the 95 theses to the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church.

00:43:03.720 And that's where they trace the beginning of the Reformation was this moment.

00:43:08.080 Although, you know, talk about blowing the cobwebs off of things.

00:43:11.580 People, we see that moment in retrospect as a heroic moment, right?

00:43:16.540 He's thundering against the corrupt papacy by nailing this thing.

00:43:21.840 And it's just the opposite.

00:43:23.180 He was like tacking something up to a bulletin board.

00:43:25.140 It was like a notice.

00:43:26.240 Hey, you know what?

00:43:26.760 I think we're going to have a we're going to have a little debate, a theological debate.

00:43:31.760 Oh, yeah.

00:43:32.080 No, if you read that part in the book, you won't even believe what it really was.

00:43:36.180 In fact, not only was he not tacking something up on a bulletin board, he may have given it to the church custodian to tack it up on the bulletin board.

00:43:44.700 Or he may have done it himself and used paste and not a hammer.

00:43:48.480 Like we have this image of him.

00:43:49.660 So what happened?

00:43:50.680 So how did that get?

00:43:51.800 All right.

00:43:52.700 Basically, I mean, to focus on that, this seminal moment 500 years ago, he was somebody who had discovered some things theologically.

00:44:01.220 But let's get it straight.

00:44:02.200 He was a humble, obedient monk.

00:44:06.020 This was not a firebrand or a rebel of any stripe whatsoever.

00:44:11.740 This was a man devoted to God and devoted to the church.

00:44:15.620 And he saw that what was going on with indulgences.

00:44:18.200 By the way, he was a priest.

00:44:19.340 So people would come to him in the confessional and say, hey, I got to get out of jail free card.

00:44:23.860 Here you go.

00:44:24.460 And he would look at this piece of paper that they had bought with their money, which they didn't have.

00:44:29.400 And he would say, what kind of corruption, what kind of confusion?

00:44:32.440 These people's souls are in danger.

00:44:33.880 They think they can spend money and sin and pay for it.

00:44:38.100 I mean, it had become very corrupt.

00:44:40.400 But he didn't say, oh, I'm going to tear the church down.

00:44:42.700 He thought to myself, it is my duty as a theologian, because he was not just a monk and a priest, but a fine theologian, one of the finest.

00:44:51.320 He said, I need to bring this to the attention to the academic establishment, to other theologians, because if we don't begin to deal with this issue of indulgences, it's going to bring us down.

00:44:59.980 And this is one of the most terrible excesses that we've experienced.

00:45:03.700 And so he said, let's have an academic debate.

00:45:06.140 So in Latin, he prints up 95 statements, which which when you wanted to have an academic disputation, that was kind of the way you did it.

00:45:13.700 And you tacked it up someplace and people say, oh, that's interesting.

00:45:16.560 I like to participate.

00:45:17.260 And you'd gather and have a have an academic debate, maybe in Latin, probably in Latin.

00:45:21.260 And so so he taxed this up, having no clue that in retrospect, it will look like, you know, Neil Armstrong playing the flag on the moon, Columbus playing the flag in the American soil.

00:45:35.060 I mean, it's a moment in history that has grown out of all proportion, because in retrospect, we understand the significance of that moment led to everything that followed.

00:45:46.160 That is bizarre, because it is you do look at that as a moment of courage.

00:45:52.080 When did the moment of courage hit him?

00:45:55.300 Well, I would say that there are, as with anybody of true courage and faith, that there there it's a continuum of courage.

00:46:02.800 In other words, it's not like at one moment he girds his loins and says, I mean, he was a man who what I talk about is that before this moment, when he had become a monk, for example, why did he become a monk?

00:46:14.800 He became a monk because he took the idea of salvation and heaven and hell so seriously that he said, I need to devote my whole life to this.

00:46:23.980 And this was against his father's wishes.

00:46:25.400 His father had sent him to the finest schools, wanted him to become a lawyer.

00:46:28.880 And just as he begins law school, it all kind of gets to him.

00:46:32.400 This is in 1505.

00:46:34.000 He's 22 years old and he kind of realizes, I don't know where I'm going to spend eternity.

00:46:41.460 Some lawyers had just died and had shared on their deathbeds that I wish I'd become a monk.

00:46:46.840 Where am I going now?

00:46:47.980 It really he was rattled.

00:46:49.680 I think a lot of people were rattled, but he was a very intense, passionate person, brilliant.

00:46:54.260 So he decides in a moment that that's its own story, that that he's in the middle of a lightning storm and he fears for his life.

00:47:02.400 And he he blurts out to St.

00:47:04.420 Anne, who is the patron saint of miners.

00:47:06.260 His father was in the mining business.

00:47:07.840 He says, St.

00:47:08.380 Anne, if you save me, I'll become a monk.

00:47:09.820 But it wasn't like he just blurted it out and hadn't been thinking about this.

00:47:12.860 Let's face it.

00:47:13.280 He'd been thinking about this for years.

00:47:14.300 So he becomes a monk and then devotes his life in the monastery to praying harder, to confessing more, to fasting more.

00:47:24.020 He was skin and bones.

00:47:25.380 I mean, the whole experience was, how do I earn my way to heaven?

00:47:29.680 He must have he must have hated the popes.

00:47:34.200 Well, no, not until not until later.

00:47:37.500 This is what was before Leo because Leo the 10th.

00:47:40.280 Right.

00:47:40.520 And the one before him was also like, was it?

00:47:44.360 I forget.

00:47:45.320 Yeah.

00:47:45.560 These dudes, they were.

00:47:47.900 I mean, every educated, devoted Catholic is properly ashamed of of this period of the papacy.

00:47:57.900 It's like the church.

00:47:59.000 I mean, since people know that I'm a very pro Catholic, non Catholic.

00:48:03.400 I didn't write this book to bash the Catholic Church.

00:48:05.280 But when you look at this history, you see what is the tendency.

00:48:09.420 And this this all goes back to what we believe about freedom and the nature of man.

00:48:14.540 What is the nature of any institution?

00:48:17.700 The nature of power.

00:48:19.100 It's to consolidate more power.

00:48:21.020 How can I get more power?

00:48:22.140 And the church had become, you know, hugely powerful.

00:48:26.700 So Luther, while he's a monk, he's not thinking about this.

00:48:30.680 He is a devoted monk.

00:48:32.320 He's thinking about his own salvation.

00:48:34.000 All that other stuff comes later.

00:48:35.300 But at this point, he's devoted to saving himself in a way.

00:48:40.940 Right.

00:48:41.140 And a lot of people think that's what Christianity is.

00:48:42.940 You save yourself.

00:48:43.600 You work hard.

00:48:44.480 You don't sin.

00:48:45.640 You keep your nose clean.

00:48:47.220 You know, you don't screw it up and you might get into heaven.

00:48:49.440 And so he is working the program.

00:48:50.960 Right.

00:48:51.400 He's a 12 steps reference harder than anyone who's ever lived.

00:48:54.780 And he's becoming more miserable.

00:48:56.980 He's not getting closer to God.

00:48:59.040 And so he starts cracking up.

00:49:01.060 Why?

00:49:01.580 If I am doing everything right, he would confess.

00:49:04.340 At one point, he confessed six hours straight.

00:49:06.300 His father confessor, Staupitz, who's in the book, literally says to him at some point,

00:49:11.100 enough, bring me adultery, bring me murder.

00:49:14.940 Otherwise, get out.

00:49:16.340 Leave me.

00:49:16.920 You're torturing me.

00:49:17.820 He would confess a moment of pride.

00:49:19.220 I prayed so hard that I had a moment of pride for having prayed so hard.

00:49:24.160 And I have to confess my pride.

00:49:25.300 I mean, he was driving everybody insane.

00:49:27.100 So long story short, Luther kind of realizes this is not working.

00:49:31.080 I'm not getting closer to God.

00:49:32.540 Do I love God?

00:49:33.220 No, I hate God.

00:49:34.260 God is a judge who scares me.

00:49:36.700 And I'm trying to jump to these hoops to please him.

00:49:39.260 And his father confessor, Staupitz, says to him, you don't think that God loves you.

00:49:43.460 You think that God hates you, but he loves you.

00:49:46.260 I mean, it was this real conundrum.

00:49:47.480 So Luther eventually realizes that nobody is studying the scriptures because, as you know,

00:49:52.760 the printing press wasn't invented until very recently at that point.

00:49:56.680 And so Luther does what no one else is doing.

00:50:00.520 Almost no one else.

00:50:01.600 He starts digging, digging into the to the scriptures.

00:50:05.260 And I think of it like a guy who has a disease.

00:50:08.800 And he says, I have to find the cure to the disease.

00:50:11.440 So I don't want food.

00:50:13.140 I don't want phone calls.

00:50:14.220 I'm just going to be looking into the scriptures because I'm trying to find the key to my problem.

00:50:19.560 And so he effectively finds it around 1517.

00:50:23.280 All these things coalesce and he realizes, oh, my goodness.

00:50:28.140 It's kind of like somebody tells you that, you know, you're racing up a ladder and it's like the ladder is leaning against the wrong building.

00:50:35.500 You can come down now.

00:50:37.200 You've been wasting your time.

00:50:38.640 He says, what I've been looking for is given to me freely by God as a gift of grace.

00:50:45.720 It's the righteousness of God, which I was scared of, is God gives that to me as a loving gift.

00:50:52.840 I don't need to do anything.

00:50:54.180 He gave it to me.

00:50:56.000 It's in a it's in an account in my name.

00:50:58.840 All I have to do is go get it.

00:51:00.680 But nobody told me that it was there.

00:51:02.200 It's like you want to talk about a mind blower.

00:51:04.560 This this blew the mind of Luther.

00:51:06.640 But then this is kind of like the the the bomb that it it it is the explosion from this creates the future in which we live freedom.

00:51:17.900 Everything that we take for granted in the modern world comes from that.

00:51:21.820 And we'll get into that here in a second.

00:51:23.280 He's at Eric Dexas on Twitter and Eric Dexas dot com.

00:51:32.440 The book is Martin Luther, the man who rediscovered God and changed the world.

00:51:37.260 From October 1st, Business Insider, legendary investor Jim Rogers had this to say in regards to fear, gold and the sector to be bullish on.

00:51:45.840 Quote, everyone should have coins, physical coins as an insurance policy, as an emergency of nothing else.

00:51:52.600 I hope you'll never need them, but you've got to start by owning gold coins, coins that are recognized all over the world.

00:51:59.620 History has proven time and time again that gold is one of the best ways to hedge your portfolio.

00:52:05.560 And unlike paper money, gold is a permanent store of value.

00:52:09.740 These these ICOs that are coming out, these this digital money, you know, it could be good.

00:52:17.540 It could also be horrendous, horrendous.

00:52:22.600 What value does that have?

00:52:24.660 That has less than even paper, at least paper, you know, currency is worth the paper it's printed on.

00:52:29.940 The digital money isn't even worth that.

00:52:33.400 Gold has withstood history and maintained its inherent value.

00:52:37.660 It is it is durable.

00:52:39.340 It is easy to transport and looks the same everywhere.

00:52:42.880 Gold.

00:52:44.620 Find out if gold or silver is right for you.

00:52:46.900 It is for my family.

00:52:47.860 One eight six six gold line.

00:52:49.640 One eight six six gold line.

00:52:51.280 Hear about their price guarantee and their specials this month.

00:52:54.000 Gold line.

00:52:54.620 Read their important risk information.

00:52:55.940 One eight six six gold line or gold line dot com.

00:53:01.580 Glenn back.

00:53:02.720 Glenn back.

00:53:09.460 I am so thrilled to have Eric Metaskus not only on the show, but in studio with us.

00:53:14.500 He wrote a game changing book for me called Bonhoeffer.

00:53:18.600 If you haven't read that, you need to.

00:53:19.860 So and I just last week finished some books and I thought I am only going to start reading

00:53:25.360 stuff that will fill me up with with good, solid, rock solid information.

00:53:31.380 So this couldn't come at a better time for me.

00:53:33.920 Martin Luther is his latest book.

00:53:36.300 The man who rediscovered God and changed the world.

00:53:38.780 So tell me how tell me how he's relatable today.

00:53:42.480 Oh, this is the funny thing.

00:53:44.540 I mean, I go I take kind of a perverse pride in going into these book projects pretty darn

00:53:49.980 ignorant.

00:53:51.080 And I have friends, the guys that dedicated the book to Marcus Speaker and my my buddy

00:53:55.100 Greg Thornberry, the president of the King's College in New York City, was explaining to

00:53:58.540 me because he's a theologian why I need to write the book because Luther is significant

00:54:02.620 in all these ways.

00:54:03.420 And the more I went into it, the more I thought, how do we not all know this?

00:54:07.320 And it happens with every one of these books.

00:54:08.640 How did we not how did I not know this?

00:54:10.600 And Luther, what he did exactly 500 years ago, opened the door to the future.

00:54:18.500 I titled the epilogue where I kind of explain all this in the book, The Man Who Discovered

00:54:24.320 the Future, because this seminal moment after 15 years of neglect in a way, you could say

00:54:32.320 that that the tradition, the accretions of tradition and so on and so forth had had obscured

00:54:38.520 this central issue, which is called the gospel, the free gift of Jesus, which which makes

00:54:45.980 us all be able to have a direct relationship to God.

00:54:49.600 It doesn't need to be through an institution or whatever.

00:54:51.540 It's exactly what Whitefield was preaching, you know, 200 years later, which created America.

00:54:58.780 Without that, you don't have anything like freedom, the freedom of the individual to stand

00:55:04.440 against the state.

00:55:05.200 I mean, it's crazy last week or two weeks ago, we had two people in the media, one meet

00:55:10.660 the press, another one on NBC that said that, you know, your rights don't come from God.

00:55:15.060 That's that's that's this.

00:55:16.900 That's listen.

00:55:17.560 It's direct.

00:55:18.840 Look, I've been I talked.

00:55:20.620 Somebody interviewed me recently about what Margaret Feinstein said and what whatever.

00:55:25.460 I mean, we our leaders, we things are so bad that our leaders in the Senate on the Senate

00:55:31.880 level do not understand the basics.

00:55:35.920 It's like trying to write a book and you don't know the alphabet.

00:55:39.600 They don't understand the concept of what freedom is, where it comes from, that it comes from

00:55:44.660 God, that at the heart of freedom is religious liberty is this idea that I can think any dumb

00:55:52.780 thought I want and it's protected.

00:55:54.760 God says you have the right to think your own thoughts.

00:55:58.100 And I mean, it's so fundamental.

00:56:00.200 But as you know, for 40 or so years, we've not been teaching this in the school so that

00:56:04.620 even our elite journalists and our senators don't understand the building blocks of how

00:56:12.000 we have everything that we have in this issue of having a direct relationship to God, being

00:56:17.600 all equal before God.

00:56:18.840 I mean, when Whitefield preached this throughout the 18th century, up and down the 13 colonies,

00:56:24.240 it was a revolution.

00:56:25.580 People thought, really?

00:56:26.940 You mean, if the minister is preaching something that's not right, I have the right to go to

00:56:33.660 another church or to object?

00:56:35.820 Or if the magistrate or the governor or the king is behaving in a way that's not right

00:56:42.900 according to God, I have the right to protest or something?

00:56:45.740 This was an earth-shattering thing.

00:56:48.000 And it began for sure with Luther.

00:56:51.580 And as we know, freedom comes with a price, right?

00:56:53.980 Freedom is not always good in the sense that you are now free to do the wrong thing, okay?

00:56:58.960 You're free to start a crazy church.

00:57:00.760 You're free to start the Church of Scientology, not just a good Protestant church.

00:57:04.140 You're free to start loony stuff and cults.

00:57:06.520 I have 30 seconds.

00:57:07.260 That's the price of freedom.

00:57:08.480 But who, which of us would trade that freedom for the slavery of being under an institution

00:57:14.300 that's going to tell you the meaning of truth and you cannot dissent?

00:57:16.900 I think more and more people are getting to that point to where they're willing to do that.

00:57:21.080 They're willing to trade, but they take their freedoms so for granted.

00:57:25.220 They don't even really understand it.

00:57:27.580 They won't until they lose it, until they lose it.

00:57:30.540 The name of the book is Martin Luther, the man who rediscovered God and changed the world,

00:57:36.820 Eric Metaxas, the best-selling author of Bonhoeffer.

00:57:41.140 Always good to have you in, Eric.

00:57:42.620 My joy.

00:57:43.160 Thanks, Glenn.

00:57:43.560 God bless.

00:57:43.920 Appreciate it.

00:57:48.360 Glenn, back.

00:57:51.080 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:00.900 Well, Pat Gray is with us.

00:58:02.480 Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, Pat.

00:58:04.840 Oh, thank you.

00:58:05.780 Thank you.

00:58:06.420 It's a beautiful day.

00:58:09.800 It's a beautiful day.

00:58:11.120 Beautiful day.

00:58:11.380 And I know that you went out and you celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day this weekend.

00:58:17.920 Well, we had a huge weekend in preparation for Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:58:21.660 Yeah.

00:58:21.920 What did you do?

00:58:22.940 Well, we went to San Antonio, but on the way, we stopped off at Waco at Chip and Joanna's

00:58:28.680 fixer-upper place.

00:58:29.620 Yeah.

00:58:29.880 Yeah.

00:58:30.040 Yeah.

00:58:30.180 Have you guys been to the silos?

00:58:31.520 I have.

00:58:31.960 Yes.

00:58:32.320 I have not.

00:58:33.440 Yeah, man.

00:58:34.240 No.

00:58:34.560 My wife has been, and she raves about it.

00:58:37.380 Yeah.

00:58:37.900 It's pretty awesome.

00:58:38.920 I mean, she had quite a vision, and there are literally hundreds of people on the premises.

00:58:47.240 It's incredible.

00:58:47.940 Hundreds.

00:58:48.800 It's a fixer-upper show.

00:58:52.400 They sell knick-knacks.

00:58:54.340 Why are you people here?

00:58:56.640 And they're really cheap, too.

00:58:57.320 We were there, too.

00:58:58.220 You like them so much.

00:58:59.240 You like them a lot.

00:58:59.960 You like them so much.

00:59:00.380 And that's what Jackie kept saying.

00:59:01.440 It's them.

00:59:02.000 It's not the show.

00:59:03.060 Yeah, it is.

00:59:03.500 And I know it is, but it's an amazing situation they've created there.

00:59:09.180 They have the business and the silos and the bakery, and then on the side, they put out

00:59:14.820 this AstroTurf where the kids can play soccer and football.

00:59:18.260 Well, and more importantly, it's surrounded by food trucks.

00:59:20.920 Yes.

00:59:21.880 Completely surround the place.

00:59:23.400 And so they've created more business for the businesses in the city.

00:59:28.020 And they created this trolley run from downtown to their business that's free.

00:59:33.920 And so, I mean, I don't know how many businesses have spun off theirs, but it's pretty outrageous.

00:59:39.420 The town must be freaked that they've said that this is the last season.

00:59:44.840 It has to be.

00:59:45.540 Well, can you imagine the factories for facial cream that are going to be popping up?

00:59:48.540 Well, and that's the thing.

00:59:49.780 Before we left, we had to buy some of our facial cream.

00:59:52.260 The facial cream, it did not happen.

00:59:53.980 I don't know if you know that, but it didn't happen.

00:59:56.720 We did go to the bakery.

00:59:57.880 It was probably an hour and 15 minutes waiting in line, you know, because the line stretches

01:00:02.840 through the store, out the door, around the store, down the block.

01:00:08.380 And shut up.

01:00:09.300 It's incredible.

01:00:10.180 No, it's incredible.

01:00:11.580 I want to.

01:00:12.020 And it's good.

01:00:13.160 You know, they're good baked items.

01:00:14.620 Yeah.

01:00:14.840 The stuff I had was really good.

01:00:16.400 Well, it should be.

01:00:16.740 Yes, it should.

01:00:17.420 I mean, if it's an hour and a half to wait to get a stupid cookie.

01:00:20.480 I know.

01:00:21.160 I've been in shorter lines at Disney World, and there was no ride once I got inside, except

01:00:25.880 from the frosting on the cake.

01:00:27.100 I think that took me on a buzz for a while.

01:00:28.980 But it's astounding what they've created there.

01:00:34.620 It's really astounding.

01:00:35.660 It reminded me, I told Jackie, this reminds me of what Glenn was thinking for the independence.

01:00:41.800 Yeah.

01:00:42.480 It's, it's, that's kind of what they're doing.

01:00:44.300 Yeah.

01:00:44.540 And it's, you know, what's really amazing is they, they took this, they took a town that

01:00:50.980 you used to say Waco, Wacko Waco.

01:00:53.920 Branch Davidians.

01:00:54.800 Yeah.

01:00:55.320 You only think of the Branch Davidians.

01:00:57.540 Now it's Chip and Joanna.

01:00:59.320 I mean.

01:00:59.700 Yes.

01:01:00.140 They couldn't have.

01:01:01.120 Completely repositioned.

01:01:02.660 Repositioned the entire town.

01:01:04.040 Yeah.

01:01:04.380 And now you hear people all the time say, I remember when we moved down here, people

01:01:08.820 were like, you should move to Waco.

01:01:10.440 I'm not moving to Waco.

01:01:11.940 What are you, crazy?

01:01:13.440 Yeah.

01:01:13.820 You know?

01:01:14.460 And remember, we talked about it at some point.

01:01:16.520 We talked about it and said, can you imagine if we would move our studios to Waco, what

01:01:21.500 people would say?

01:01:23.000 That's right.

01:01:23.500 Oh, yeah.

01:01:23.900 And now here, Chip and Joanna.

01:01:26.260 And they fixed it.

01:01:27.100 They fixed it.

01:01:27.780 I mean, fixer upper applies to the whole city of Waco.

01:01:30.460 They have fixed it.

01:01:31.580 They really have.

01:01:32.580 Is there more to do in Waco than just Chip and Joanna?

01:01:36.060 Yeah.

01:01:36.540 No.

01:01:37.000 There's a Dr. Pepper museum that I went to.

01:01:40.840 Well, Stu has a little more knowledge on that.

01:01:42.740 I did.

01:01:43.020 I spent the whole day.

01:01:43.860 We missed the Dr. Pepper museum.

01:01:45.540 Oh, yeah.

01:01:45.880 No, it was very cool.

01:01:46.700 They have a Dr. Pepper.

01:01:47.500 And that's where I went in and they have whoever the Dr. Pepper guy was.

01:01:51.360 Dr. Pepper.

01:01:52.200 No, his name is not actually Dr. Pepper.

01:01:53.840 Or it's something else.

01:01:55.520 But the guy who started the museum was like a huge free market guy.

01:01:58.680 And they have a whole section of the museum called like the Free Market Center at the top

01:02:03.600 of the museum.

01:02:04.320 It's actually pretty cool.

01:02:05.040 It's actually a pretty cool thing.

01:02:05.940 That's kind of cool.

01:02:06.100 Yeah.

01:02:06.380 Yeah.

01:02:06.640 And they have a lot of shops and stuff around there that have popped up.

01:02:09.900 Some of them.

01:02:10.160 And Baylor's there.

01:02:10.880 There we go.

01:02:11.260 Yeah.

01:02:11.640 Yeah.

01:02:12.000 So there's definitely stuff there.

01:02:13.120 Yeah.

01:02:13.540 But yeah.

01:02:14.460 I mean, soda and baked goods are the main attraction.

01:02:17.080 It's mostly Chip and Joanna.

01:02:18.320 It's their town now.

01:02:19.240 They should rename it Chip and Joannaville.

01:02:22.420 It's an innovative name.

01:02:24.060 Chip and Joannaville.

01:02:25.400 What about their life is like in a town that small?

01:02:29.100 It's not that small, though, really.

01:02:30.740 I mean, it's 200, maybe 1,000 in the metro area.

01:02:34.680 But that's still a pretty small town to be that huge.

01:02:38.300 With the thousands, maybe hundreds, I would say between 500 and 1,000 people were there

01:02:43.180 on the premises.

01:02:44.320 If they showed up, I mean, it would be, I don't think they can.

01:02:48.380 I don't think they can go into their own store.

01:02:50.580 I don't know how they would.

01:02:51.660 It would be, it would be bedlam.

01:02:54.440 What you need to do is leak.

01:02:55.480 You get in line at the bakery and then leak that they show up on the other side of the

01:02:58.600 premises.

01:02:58.740 Hey, they're over there.

01:02:59.460 They're over there.

01:02:59.980 Go see them.

01:03:00.460 Oh my God.

01:03:00.940 I'm Chip and Joannaville here.

01:03:02.240 And then you get all the cookies you want.

01:03:03.540 She's got her face cream right now.

01:03:05.920 She's selling it right now in the parking lot.

01:03:08.800 So today, it is Indigenous Peoples Day, of course, as we all recognize.

01:03:24.840 Always known as Columbus Day.

01:03:26.200 Columbus Day.

01:03:26.940 Pat Gray Unleashed is coming up on the Blaze Radio TV networks with David Barton today.

01:03:30.900 Kind of going through the truth here.

01:03:32.280 I just want to find the truth.

01:03:33.980 I just want the truth.

01:03:34.680 If Christopher Columbus was, in fact, a genocidal maniac, let's get out there.

01:03:39.940 Let's go ahead and talk about it.

01:03:41.420 He is deeply conflicted.

01:03:44.140 He is deeply conflicted.

01:03:45.440 There is a great book called The Light and the Glory.

01:03:47.940 Have you ever read this?

01:03:48.560 I haven't.

01:03:49.060 Oh, you should.

01:03:50.280 Written by Peter Marshall.

01:03:51.480 He was a professor of something at Yale.

01:03:56.720 And he wrote, this is the history of the founding of America.

01:04:01.780 And he starts with Columbus.

01:04:03.060 And the story of Columbus, it is so well written.

01:04:06.800 It is.

01:04:07.500 I mean, it's written like a thriller.

01:04:09.700 And the story of Columbus are the first three chapters in it.

01:04:13.100 And he goes from a good guy to a bad guy.

01:04:16.420 I mean, there's times where he is really a good guy who's on a quest for, you know, for Christ.

01:04:22.560 And is humble.

01:04:24.320 That's absolutely how he started.

01:04:25.880 Yeah.

01:04:26.060 And then he keeps getting sucked into the gold madness.

01:04:30.400 And, you know, I know, Pat, you and I both believe that this land was is sacred and it was preserved for this time and for these rights to come forth.

01:04:40.880 And every time somebody is on, you know, gold fever, they never get here or they're destroyed.

01:04:47.840 And he was destroyed in the end.

01:04:50.060 And it's because he keeps God keeps trying to pull him back on track and he keeps going off.

01:04:56.600 His thing, though, was and I don't know how much it stayed that way, but his thing was he's going to bring back riches for the glory of God.

01:05:05.840 He intended he was going to he was trying to find Solomon's gold.

01:05:10.120 He was trying to find Solomon's mines.

01:05:12.480 OK.

01:05:13.140 And what he was going to do is bring it back.

01:05:15.460 So then Queen Isabella and Ferdinand could then go take those riches and rebuild Solomon's temple.

01:05:22.280 That's what he was going to do.

01:05:24.000 So the gift, the gift for God was go find the gold to bring it back to rebuild the temple and be the and be the, you know, be the reason the temple was was rebuilt.

01:05:38.240 But none of that is discussed anymore.

01:05:40.740 And and these kids who go through college the first day of my 17 year old daughter's college experience.

01:05:50.620 She came home and said, Dad, my teacher taught me that Christopher Columbus is a genocidal rapist murderer who started the Western slave trade.

01:05:59.740 I'm like, oh, at least you made it through a couple hours.

01:06:04.380 But in some ways, in some ways, some of that is true.

01:06:08.260 Not really, though.

01:06:09.360 He he had to respond to the murder of his of his men.

01:06:13.960 OK, OK.

01:06:14.620 His crew was killed and then he got a little pissed.

01:06:17.000 Yeah.

01:06:17.280 Yeah.

01:06:17.500 So so hang on.

01:06:18.940 So he leaves.

01:06:21.680 He leaves the 38 men behind and he leaves.

01:06:25.340 He comes back like a year or so later and they're all dead.

01:06:28.280 And they say through the translators that he had with him, they say, well, they were raping and pillaging.

01:06:36.000 They they wouldn't take no for an answer on the gold.

01:06:38.840 And they just started having their way with any of the women that they wanted.

01:06:43.320 And so we had to kill them all.

01:06:44.880 And so the trouble starts there.

01:06:48.360 And he had nothing to do with that.

01:06:50.520 But then he had to decide, who do I believe?

01:06:53.500 Yes.

01:06:53.860 And that's where the trouble.

01:06:54.860 Yes.

01:06:55.060 That's where the trouble started.

01:06:56.140 Plus, I mean, these tribes, one of the tribes, one of the tribes he was very close to.

01:07:00.680 Yes.

01:07:00.960 Got along with really, really well.

01:07:02.360 But the cannibal tribe, not so much.

01:07:06.020 They seem to have somewhat of a conflict because he had flesh and they wanted to eat it.

01:07:10.260 And that's where there was a little bit of a dichotomy and a little separation between the tribes.

01:07:14.600 Well, there's sometimes sometimes when they're hungry, you might have a disagreement.

01:07:19.120 They were looking at him like he was a steak.

01:07:21.560 And so he eventually had to wipe them out.

01:07:25.180 I mean, I don't know if he had to, but he did.

01:07:27.100 Yeah.

01:07:27.320 He wiped them out.

01:07:28.520 Well, three hundred three.

01:07:29.740 There were the population was three hundred thousand.

01:07:31.560 And he reduced it by one hundred thousand in the end.

01:07:34.600 But that's not genocide because there still were.

01:07:36.920 No, it is just I actually heard a guy talking about indigenous peoples day legitimately.

01:07:42.140 They're changing.

01:07:42.820 They're changing this in cities from Columbus.

01:07:44.320 They've already done it in Los Angeles.

01:07:45.720 I think it was the guy in Los Angeles talking about this.

01:07:49.280 And he said Columbus was responsible for the worst genocide in world history.

01:07:54.380 Oh, my God.

01:07:55.080 Now, I mean, 60 million people died in communist China.

01:07:59.380 Right.

01:07:59.480 I mean, the Nazis, you got Pol Pot, you got Stalin, Stalin.

01:08:05.000 You got what kills me, too, is that they make this about a white guy.

01:08:09.760 Even if even if you're right about Columbus, it was his Hispanic crew that did it all.

01:08:18.280 But he left.

01:08:19.260 He left.

01:08:20.180 He left his friends.

01:08:21.460 He comes back and it's all the Spaniards that were killing.

01:08:26.540 So it wasn't the white man that did it.

01:08:28.340 It wasn't the guy from Italy.

01:08:29.540 He was fine with him.

01:08:30.480 He had a good time.

01:08:32.160 He went home.

01:08:33.780 It was the Hispanics that did it.

01:08:36.320 So he's going to the racism again.

01:08:38.700 Pat, you seen this?

01:08:39.500 No, but I just want to point out.

01:08:41.060 Let's be honest about it.

01:08:46.760 Yeah.

01:08:47.500 Are you amazed by what you're seeing, though, on Twitter and all this stuff?

01:08:51.280 I just can't even.

01:08:52.260 I can't believe it.

01:08:53.460 It is the Q Allen writes, in honor of Columbus Day, take this tweet, put your own name on

01:08:59.580 it, then erase mine.

01:09:01.140 The next tweet, you've got to hand it to Christopher Columbus because he would have definitely

01:09:04.700 taken it anyway and then murdered you.

01:09:07.580 Me, this is mine.

01:09:08.660 I discovered it.

01:09:09.440 Them, what?

01:09:10.320 No.

01:09:11.360 Me, stab them.

01:09:13.000 Columbus Day rules.

01:09:14.380 Cop.

01:09:14.880 Dang, he's right.

01:09:15.960 I mean.

01:09:17.020 Incredible.

01:09:18.140 Happy this dude came over and pointed out what was already here day.

01:09:21.780 As a man, I honor Christopher Columbus every day of the year by refusing to ask for directions.

01:09:26.280 In 1492, Columbus was a genocidal piece of ass and an a-hole, too.

01:09:32.080 I mean, it just doesn't.

01:09:34.220 The only decent thing in the whole tweet storm is the only thing Christopher Columbus ever

01:09:39.960 discovered was Daniel Radcliffe.

01:09:42.080 See, that's the director.

01:09:44.220 So here's the similar name.

01:09:47.160 Here's the question that everybody has to ask themselves.

01:09:53.720 Would you have been any different?

01:09:56.280 Yes, I would have done everything perfectly.

01:09:58.860 I don't know about you guys, but I would have actually nailed it.

01:10:01.040 You're in front of the king and queen and they say, you know, 10% of all the riches are

01:10:06.100 all yours.

01:10:07.080 You go out, you're on a ship, you're full of a ship of sailors who want to kill you,

01:10:12.240 by the way.

01:10:13.260 They want to kill you.

01:10:14.200 I don't know if you know this, but the sailors back then are not like the U.S.

01:10:17.000 Navy.

01:10:17.840 So they all want to kill you.

01:10:19.660 You've only kept them together because you've promised them the riches when they get to the

01:10:24.560 land.

01:10:24.900 You get to the land, you are friendly with everybody.

01:10:28.900 You turn around, they kill everybody.

01:10:32.260 They start to kill everybody.

01:10:33.760 They end up being dead themselves.

01:10:36.140 You come back.

01:10:37.780 There's all kinds of gold there.

01:10:39.540 Everybody is filled your head with you're the greatest guy ever.

01:10:43.500 You're going to change the entire world.

01:10:45.880 You're doing it for God.

01:10:47.180 Nobody is a no man to you.

01:10:49.880 Everyone is your yes man because you are now the most powerful person on the planet.

01:10:56.740 Donald Trump to the 100th power.

01:10:58.340 You really think you're going to have the strength to be the one guy with all the sailors who

01:11:04.260 just want the gold, the riches, and the raping.

01:11:07.380 You're going to be the one guy all by yourself going, now, wait a minute, guys, hold on just

01:11:14.540 a second.

01:11:16.040 I don't think so.

01:11:17.400 Now, I most certainly would have been that guy, but not Glenn, apparently.

01:11:25.300 The book he was just talking about is The Light and the Glory.

01:11:27.500 A bunch of people have been asking about it.

01:11:28.820 It's a great book.

01:11:29.360 Great book.

01:11:29.840 In fact, to the point you were just making, one of the titles of the chapters, Damn Your

01:11:35.440 Souls, Make Tobacco.

01:11:36.820 So, it's a great title.

01:11:39.800 By the way, if you open up this book you were talking about with this history in there,

01:11:43.040 you see in the acknowledgements, the authors wish to express their gratitude to David Barton

01:11:47.280 and wall builders of their capable research assistants of his staff.

01:11:51.520 David's going to be joining Pat Gray here in just a moment.

01:11:53.600 And we've had him on before, Marshall, before.

01:11:57.340 He's a great author, Yale something or other, professor of something at Yale.

01:12:02.660 Protecting your family is number one responsibility.

01:12:04.700 Simply Safe Home Security is a great way to protect your family.

01:12:08.020 I have met Simply Safe's founder.

01:12:10.300 He is mechanically minded and a math kind of guy.

01:12:13.420 Years back, he was at Harvard in grad school when his friends got robbed in Boston.

01:12:18.600 They came to him and said, we can't buy a security system.

01:12:22.040 They have to be hardwired.

01:12:23.440 We don't own our houses.

01:12:24.660 There's a three-year contract.

01:12:26.040 We're not going to be here for three years.

01:12:28.420 We're going to school and they're extremely expensive.

01:12:31.700 So, he's a problem solver.

01:12:33.320 He's an American tinkerer.

01:12:35.800 And he said, I'll come up with something.

01:12:38.920 He invented Simply Safe.

01:12:41.040 Now, Simply Safe is commercial.

01:12:43.220 It's a totally wireless security system.

01:12:45.320 Top shelf, complete security, 24-7 alarm monitoring, police dispatch.

01:12:50.140 Everything that he wanted to do for his friends when he was in college can now be done for you.

01:12:55.920 No contracts, no hidden fees.

01:12:58.040 It is simple.

01:13:00.060 Simply Safe.

01:13:01.400 Popularity soared back at Harvard when he first brought this out.

01:13:05.180 Everybody started to buy him up.

01:13:06.860 And now, the same is happening all around the country.

01:13:09.460 They're protecting 2 million homes now.

01:13:12.760 Simply Safe.

01:13:40.780 Glenn Beck.

01:13:47.820 Glenn Beck.

01:13:50.660 So a few things that we have not had a chance to talk about.

01:13:56.260 One is this event that happened in a bakery up in Seattle last weekend.

01:14:02.320 We have to get somebody on from the Liberty Council or someplace to find out, can these Christians sue the gay bakery for kicking them out?

01:14:14.160 They should be able to.

01:14:16.120 Hopefully, they would lose that lawsuit.

01:14:19.380 Because then it would make it okay, right?

01:14:24.840 To own your own, your own store and be able to say, I don't want these people here.

01:14:30.240 Your own artistic performance you're allowed to own.

01:14:32.640 I think that's.

01:14:33.100 I mean, it's, it's pretty remarkable.

01:14:35.040 Pretty remarkable.

01:14:36.260 I noticed, too, you've pretty much, you know, put the kibosh on the truth as usual.

01:14:40.600 On what truth?

01:14:42.440 Well, the truth about the shooting in Vegas.

01:14:45.160 That it had to do a lot with OJ Simpson.

01:14:47.160 And Alex Jones uncovered it, and he won't play the audio.

01:14:49.920 I want people to know that.

01:14:50.680 I've been trying all day.

01:14:51.380 I want the OJ Simpson theory tomorrow.

01:14:56.600 Glenn Beck.

01:15:12.680 Love.

01:15:14.280 Courage.

01:15:15.640 Truth.

01:15:16.040 Glenn Beck.

01:15:17.600 New York City.

01:15:18.300 The police are on high alert today.

01:15:19.700 They have strict orders to keep 24-7 surveillance in midtown Manhattan.

01:15:24.340 They say an attack today is likely.

01:15:27.440 The target.

01:15:28.920 The 70-foot statue of Christopher Columbus.

01:15:36.000 It's Columbus Day.

01:15:37.260 So instead of using their resources to protect the citizens, the NYPD are forced to guard a hunk of stone from potential vandals because it's Columbus Day.

01:15:46.820 I'm sorry.

01:15:47.360 Indigenous People's Day.

01:15:49.360 As some groups like Antifa have rebranded it.

01:15:53.620 Antifa has big plans in your town.

01:15:56.380 If you have a statue of Columbus, Antifa is calling for collectives all over the country to take action against the most vile holiday of the year, Columbus Day, by, quote, decorating neighborhoods.

01:16:11.940 They say put up a mural or poster or banners.

01:16:15.400 I'm sure the poster or banners that you would get at Party City is exactly what Antifa is thinking about.

01:16:24.060 Did we not learn anything from Charlottesville?

01:16:27.300 Have we forgotten about Heather Heyer so fast?

01:16:30.500 Italian and Americans legitimately celebrate Columbus Day.

01:16:36.720 Isn't it a little culturally insensitive to ruin this day for them?

01:16:40.700 Who is Antifa to destroy a day that is so important to the Italian immigrants who helped build this country?

01:16:47.440 Now, here's the real point.

01:16:50.360 You want to protest an inanimate object?

01:16:52.780 It's your right.

01:16:54.180 It's my right to call you stupid every day.

01:16:56.080 I mean, how does an inanimate object, how does a statue affect your life, really?

01:17:05.860 It's not your right to lead to violence over a statue.

01:17:11.320 Not to mention it accomplishes nothing.

01:17:15.360 Defacing a symbol is just that, symbolic.

01:17:18.380 You can't tear down the past.

01:17:21.780 What we have to realize is history is messy.

01:17:24.340 Columbus was amazing in many ways, but he also wasn't a saint.

01:17:29.880 Far from it.

01:17:31.660 He cared more in the end about gold than the New World, and he treated the natives of the Caribbean horribly.

01:17:39.280 But he will forever be a part of our past.

01:17:43.020 So we can either learn from that, the good and the bad,

01:17:46.260 or we can fail and make the same mistakes over and over again.

01:17:50.580 On Columbus Day, let's celebrate the fact that our history is transparent.

01:17:56.060 For everyone who truly wants to see the whole picture, it's available.

01:18:01.440 It's complicated.

01:18:02.820 It's raw.

01:18:03.840 It's unedited.

01:18:05.780 And that's exactly the way history should remain.

01:18:08.320 It's Monday, October 9th.

01:18:19.700 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:22.680 Nothing went right for Christopher Columbus.

01:18:26.820 He had been rejected by every king.

01:18:29.400 He had gone to the king and queen of Spain before they rejected him.

01:18:35.960 They found him arrogant, as did all of the other kings.

01:18:40.300 He went to the king of England, dejected.

01:18:44.380 That king found him arrogant and foolish.

01:18:49.160 All the kings passed.

01:18:51.420 He went back to the king and queen of Spain and asked them again.

01:18:56.900 And they said no.

01:18:58.620 They were busy with the Moors.

01:19:00.340 They were trying to drive the Muslims out of Christian Spain.

01:19:07.560 They said no and dejected.

01:19:11.260 Christopher Columbus went back to a monastery where he had good friends, monks.

01:19:19.800 He had taken out holy orders as part of the Order of St. Francis.

01:19:25.080 He was trying to be a more peaceful man, like Pope Francis is now, also Order of St. Francis.

01:19:34.660 But he was a complicated man.

01:19:38.000 He would go between wanting to serve God and wanting the glories of the earth.

01:19:47.180 And he could never hold it.

01:19:49.020 Finally, the king and queen relented when the head of the monastery that he went to went to the queen and said, look, I know him and I know he's been arrogant, but he is a changed man.

01:20:05.300 And all he wants is the glory for God.

01:20:08.660 He doesn't want the glory himself.

01:20:10.460 He wants the glory for God.

01:20:12.180 And the king and queen decided that they had just finished conquering the Moors, that the way to thank God, better than building a church to thank them for that success, better than doing anything else.

01:20:25.260 They thought, why not go over and if there are indigenous people that they can bring the light of Christ to, they should go and do that.

01:20:35.880 And that would be the thanks to God for their victory over the Moors.

01:20:42.000 So he gets his, he gets his three ships, but they're, they're kind of crappy ships.

01:20:48.380 And the reason why they're crappy is because all the evil Jews have the ships.

01:20:54.460 Why do the Jews have the ships?

01:20:56.240 Because the Jews were being run out of Spain at the time.

01:21:02.020 1492, the Inquisition is starting to really heat up and all the Jews are starting to flee.

01:21:09.160 The smart Jews flee.

01:21:12.000 It's another holocaust for them.

01:21:15.440 So he's going through the harbor and he's one on one of the only large ships, the three of them, only large ships that really aren't carrying Jews to another, another land.

01:21:26.780 And he gets out and things are going horribly.

01:21:30.460 He's out in the middle of the sea, three quarters of the way across.

01:21:34.580 The ships all of a sudden lose all their steam.

01:21:37.880 There's no wind, nothing.

01:21:39.540 The heat was so unbearable.

01:21:41.400 None of the, none of the crew members even want to go below deck.

01:21:45.360 The wheat was scorched.

01:21:47.340 The salt meat went rotten.

01:21:50.160 They listened to the sound of water and wine cast busting.

01:21:53.460 No wind.

01:21:54.460 No wind.

01:22:01.220 This is when the crew of the other two ships start to go a little wild.

01:22:08.880 And they say they're going to kill Columbus because they're all going to die.

01:22:13.340 Nobody had ever gone this far before.

01:22:16.540 They're all going to die.

01:22:17.800 They're going to die out in the middle of the ocean or they're going to, or they're going to fall off the edge of the earth.

01:22:25.780 Columbus had been made fun of, you know, oh, here's, here comes, here comes the guy who thinks the earth is round.

01:22:33.800 And he was determined to go, but if you read his diary all the way through, it's for the glory of God.

01:22:41.920 He had mastered it right when he was told that he could have his ships for the glory of God.

01:22:49.820 He changed.

01:22:50.660 And he said, okay, well, I need to be the governor of the new land and I need 10% of all the gold and the, and the silver and anything that we find.

01:23:00.300 And the king and the queen kicked him out.

01:23:03.060 He went back to the monastery and the monastery, the monk looked at him and said, what is wrong with you, dude?

01:23:08.220 What is wrong with you?

01:23:09.280 I thought this was about God.

01:23:10.740 Okay.

01:23:11.100 You're right.

01:23:11.560 You're right.

01:23:11.880 You're right.

01:23:13.860 So he goes.

01:23:16.740 And in, in his journal, he's talking about God the whole, the whole time.

01:23:20.660 And the crew starts to turn on him and he makes a deal.

01:23:25.820 He says, okay, here's the deal.

01:23:27.780 Three days.

01:23:28.500 Give me three more days.

01:23:30.100 And he prays like he's never prayed before.

01:23:34.260 And on October 9th, the, the morning of the third day, he sees land, Tara, Tara.

01:23:43.380 They start shouting.

01:23:44.600 His journal is remarkable.

01:23:51.720 When you read what he, what he says about the natives, the Indians, he say, he says that they, you know, obviously they don't understand each other's language, but they begin to communicate and they are delightful people.

01:24:07.440 They bring them in, they feed them, they welcome them.

01:24:12.560 He dedicates the land to God.

01:24:16.600 He's immediately the, the other, the Spaniards on board.

01:24:21.200 They immediately start looking for gold.

01:24:25.540 Columbus is starting, starting to be bitten by the fever just a little bit, but he's taken by the natives and thinks they're wonderful.

01:24:33.300 He goes down and he gets back on the ship and they finally make it to Cuba.

01:24:36.460 And they're, they're on Cuba and he decides to leave the crew, about 38 men there and go back with two of the natives back to the king and queen to show them what they have found.

01:24:50.940 They found some gold.

01:24:56.100 He leaves the 38 men there.

01:24:58.100 He goes back.

01:24:59.260 On the way back, because he's so focused on the gold, they almost don't make it.

01:25:08.480 The storms rage.

01:25:12.140 He decides to take beans out.

01:25:15.420 And he puts a cross on one beam and puts them into a hat and everybody on ship has to draw a beam.

01:25:23.320 The one who draws the beam has to go make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

01:25:29.260 And they're asking God, please, we'll humble ourselves and we'll go make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land if you will calm the seas.

01:25:38.040 He pulls out the last bean and it's the one with the cross.

01:25:41.980 He, instead of being humbled, he holds it up and says, look at the Lord has chosen me yet again and becomes more arrogant.

01:25:50.480 The storms rage even higher.

01:25:53.340 They put more beans in.

01:25:55.120 He pulls it out again.

01:25:57.320 Look what the Lord has done.

01:25:59.260 He's not humbled.

01:26:04.920 He makes it back to shore.

01:26:08.940 He makes his pilgrimage.

01:26:11.940 When he comes back, all of the guys that he left behind were dead.

01:26:19.780 The natives killed them all because as soon as he left, according to the natives, they began to rape and pillage and have their way with all of their women.

01:26:39.720 And so they were killed pretty quickly.

01:26:44.880 Columbus never found his way to America.

01:26:49.400 It was 90 miles away.

01:26:51.240 But I believe this land was not made for people who were looking for gold.

01:26:58.840 That's why Jamestown ended in cannibalism, I believe.

01:27:02.660 Whenever you came to this shore looking for gold, the Lord turned you away.

01:27:08.560 In the end, because of Columbus, about 100,000 of the 300,000 natives died and were killed.

01:27:22.120 They were friends for a while, and gold fever took over.

01:27:31.720 My question to you is twofold.

01:27:36.320 Do you believe that somebody could try to do something grand for the glory of God?

01:27:46.720 I do.

01:27:50.600 I believe that Columbus came over here for the glory of God.

01:27:55.100 I believe he had a righteous idea.

01:27:59.860 I believe our pilgrims did the same.

01:28:04.940 I also believe that God turns away those on this land who were hungry for gold, and he'll do it again in the future.

01:28:14.280 Those who are hungry for riches and don't care about him.

01:28:22.360 The second thing is, do you really think you're that much better than Columbus?

01:28:30.520 Do you really think that put in his shoes at his time, in his place,

01:28:38.800 coming over here, finding the gold,

01:28:45.440 being the most celebrated, from the most ridiculed man to the most celebrated man,

01:28:54.720 where everyone is wanting to throw the gold and the silver at your feet,

01:29:01.360 wanting you to be the governor,

01:29:03.660 wanting you to be Christopher Columbus.

01:29:07.380 Do you really think you're stronger than he was?

01:29:13.880 Do you really think that there aren't people that you know in your life put into that same exact situation at that time?

01:29:23.620 Would have been the great peacemaker?

01:29:26.220 And would have been the only guy on the ship saying,

01:29:29.440 No, no, no, no, boys.

01:29:31.000 No, no.

01:29:32.320 Now we're not here for the gold.

01:29:34.960 We're here for the glory of God.

01:29:38.040 Tell me the person in your life

01:29:39.820 that could have conquered

01:29:42.220 the sailors alone

01:29:44.540 on that ship.

01:29:45.680 Coming up today on the Blaze TV and Radio Networks,

01:29:59.880 I'm Pat Gray Unleashed.

01:30:01.200 He's going to have David Barton on talking about this

01:30:03.240 and really diving into Columbus and the history.

01:30:07.120 Oh, yeah.

01:30:07.660 There's also a great book.

01:30:08.940 It's called The Light and the Glory by Peter Marshall and David Manuel.

01:30:13.820 It is a fantastic book.

01:30:16.020 I pulled it out of the library yesterday to read up again on Columbus.

01:30:20.500 And it tells the story.

01:30:22.460 I mean, the whole bloody story,

01:30:24.440 but also the good part.

01:30:26.280 I mean, we have to understand that history has two sides,

01:30:31.760 both the light and the dark.

01:30:33.960 And both sides need to be told.

01:30:36.720 Columbus wasn't a great guy,

01:30:38.640 but he also was amazing in other parts of his life.

01:30:44.460 History's complicated and ugly.

01:30:47.300 Let's learn all of it.

01:30:48.300 Do you know somebody who is obsessed with fall?

01:30:57.420 I know that my wife and children

01:31:01.320 who grew up around the foliage up in New England,

01:31:08.060 they just do not like Texas at this time of year

01:31:12.480 because they like the fall foliage,

01:31:15.040 the colors and the smells and the pumpkins

01:31:17.260 and all of that.

01:32:14.240 Back.

01:32:17.260 I was up in Idaho for vacation

01:32:32.300 and I gave a speech on our principles

01:32:38.160 and our united future.

01:32:41.040 And it was really interesting to see,

01:32:45.900 you know, I talked a little bit about the,

01:32:47.860 talked a little bit about the Constitution,

01:32:50.820 which was a little intimidating

01:32:52.320 because I had a federal judge sitting in the front row,

01:32:54.140 but talked a little bit about the Constitution

01:32:57.560 and how we got here

01:33:00.400 and what are we fighting over?

01:33:05.080 Are we fighting over equal stuff

01:33:07.660 or are we fighting over principles?

01:33:10.800 And we're not fighting over principles at all.

01:33:16.960 And you know that

01:33:18.720 because nothing is consistent.

01:33:23.100 Look at the Harvey Weinstein thing.

01:33:26.640 Look at the Harvey Weinstein thing.

01:33:28.440 These guys have known this predator

01:33:30.560 has been around for decades,

01:33:32.980 for decades.

01:33:33.820 And they all went crazy about Donald Trump.

01:33:40.240 Well, you went crazy about Donald Trump.

01:33:42.060 How come you weren't crazy about Harvey Weinstein?

01:33:45.680 Because he seems like he's much worse

01:33:48.620 than Donald Trump ever was.

01:33:49.760 Where, where, where were they on Harvey Weinstein?

01:33:58.800 And if you defended Donald Trump,

01:34:02.480 how do you have anything to say about Harvey Weinstein?

01:34:09.740 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's tough on that one

01:34:12.200 in that most of the stuff that happened

01:34:14.580 with the accusations on Trump

01:34:16.560 happened after he was a presidential candidate.

01:34:19.760 A lot of those women came out after that.

01:34:21.420 And I feel like there's a standard of,

01:34:23.380 we all just assume a big presidential candidate

01:34:26.160 is going to be accused of a million different things.

01:34:28.460 But it's part of the reason, honestly,

01:34:29.600 I haven't believed some of the Clinton accusers

01:34:32.760 over the years.

01:34:33.620 It's just, you just kind of have that generalized belief

01:34:36.540 that when you're a big figure in politics,

01:34:39.720 you're going to get accusations like this,

01:34:41.480 whether they're true or not.

01:34:42.540 The thing with Weinstein is like,

01:34:44.240 there's no, there's no motivation.

01:34:46.040 These are Hollywood people.

01:34:47.620 They're, you know, this is a,

01:34:48.840 he's a big guy making them all rich

01:34:50.740 and pushing liberal causes.

01:34:52.540 There's no reason Ashley Judd's going to come out

01:34:54.480 to bash him unless it happened, right?

01:34:56.420 Yeah.

01:34:56.620 And I think that's the standard

01:34:57.760 we're all operating under.

01:34:59.060 However, there has been no trial.

01:35:00.780 There has been,

01:35:01.440 there's been no trial in any of these cases.

01:35:03.700 I mean, you know, there's been accusations,

01:35:05.740 there's been settlements,

01:35:06.640 there's been lawsuits,

01:35:07.460 there's been admissions of inappropriate behavior.

01:35:09.940 But we have really entered this world

01:35:13.000 in which a group of accusations is just guilt.

01:35:17.780 And I think in this case, again,

01:35:19.260 I'm judge, I am totally guilty of this accusation,

01:35:21.780 this process where I think he's guilty

01:35:23.900 because a bunch of people have accused him.

01:35:25.900 That's not the right legal standard though.

01:35:30.580 Glenn Beck.

01:35:31.640 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:48.300 Now here's the big news.

01:35:50.100 Could there have been any law passed

01:35:51.620 that would have stopped him?

01:35:53.000 No.

01:35:53.800 He passed background checks

01:35:57.000 registering for handguns and other weapons

01:35:59.560 on multiple occasions.

01:36:03.520 That's the senator from California

01:36:05.280 on Face the Nation.

01:36:09.560 The Declaration of Independence,

01:36:12.940 the opening paragraph

01:36:14.660 is game-changing.

01:36:19.140 And we have read them so many times

01:36:21.200 and now they've just fallen into

01:36:22.840 dusty words that nobody even thinks about.

01:36:26.440 But we've said them in my generation

01:36:30.480 so many times that

01:36:31.680 you don't even really think about them anymore.

01:36:35.440 I want you to think about them

01:36:37.140 as if you've never heard them before.

01:36:43.340 We hold these truths

01:36:45.120 to be self-evident.

01:36:49.080 Think of just that line.

01:36:50.640 If I said to you

01:36:54.760 all of us got together

01:36:57.260 and we find these

01:37:00.020 we find these truths

01:37:01.620 to be

01:37:03.120 nobody even has to teach them.

01:37:05.000 We just all know them to be true.

01:37:07.700 Could you even decide

01:37:09.140 on what those were?

01:37:10.720 Could we as a people

01:37:12.120 today decide

01:37:13.380 what's true

01:37:14.060 and what's not?

01:37:15.280 And so true

01:37:16.920 that you

01:37:18.800 you wouldn't even have to teach it.

01:37:21.600 What would it be?

01:37:24.380 The sun will come up tomorrow?

01:37:30.100 We hold these truths

01:37:31.740 to be self-evident.

01:37:33.800 That all men

01:37:35.220 are created equal.

01:37:39.020 They didn't mean to exclude women.

01:37:41.120 what they meant was

01:37:43.120 man.

01:37:45.080 All men.

01:37:46.860 Everyone is created equal.

01:37:51.340 That today

01:37:52.820 is still

01:37:54.380 a remarkable phrase.

01:37:57.180 There are people today

01:37:58.940 that still

01:38:00.560 don't believe that.

01:38:02.280 Kim Jong-un.

01:38:05.160 People in Iran.

01:38:06.900 ISIS.

01:38:08.260 Saudi Arabia.

01:38:08.960 that all men

01:38:11.320 are created equal.

01:38:13.740 And

01:38:14.300 they're endowed

01:38:15.940 by their creator.

01:38:19.020 Wait.

01:38:19.860 What?

01:38:21.260 They're given something

01:38:22.660 from God.

01:38:24.740 All men.

01:38:25.640 Everyone.

01:38:27.880 And there's certain

01:38:28.740 unalienable

01:38:29.740 or inalienable rights

01:38:31.060 meaning

01:38:31.420 they can't be changed.

01:38:32.980 No man can change them.

01:38:34.140 No man can take them away.

01:38:35.480 You can't change them.

01:38:36.280 No matter what you do

01:38:37.340 those are always there.

01:38:40.840 So we find

01:38:42.140 these sets of

01:38:43.140 truths

01:38:44.180 to be

01:38:46.640 self-explanatory.

01:38:49.800 That there is a God

01:38:51.220 and he's done

01:38:53.060 something to men.

01:38:54.040 He's created them all equal

01:38:55.300 and he's given them

01:38:56.320 something that

01:38:56.860 nobody can ever change

01:38:58.240 or take away.

01:39:00.180 And among these

01:39:01.580 are life

01:39:02.440 liberty

01:39:03.180 and property.

01:39:04.320 why didn't I say

01:39:07.380 pursuit of happiness?

01:39:10.700 Well because

01:39:11.420 the slave owner

01:39:12.240 Thomas Jefferson

01:39:13.060 that you read

01:39:13.660 so many terrible

01:39:14.620 things about

01:39:15.240 that slave owner

01:39:16.140 knew that

01:39:17.540 if you put

01:39:18.020 property in there

01:39:19.120 seeing that

01:39:22.560 this was the

01:39:23.140 founding document

01:39:24.400 of the United States

01:39:25.520 of America

01:39:26.120 that the slave owners

01:39:28.460 would then say

01:39:29.380 well

01:39:29.840 it says

01:39:30.780 property

01:39:31.480 right here

01:39:33.040 in our

01:39:34.000 founding document

01:39:35.120 and

01:39:36.200 slaves

01:39:36.920 are my

01:39:37.620 property.

01:39:39.860 And so

01:39:41.020 we have had

01:39:42.520 the discussion

01:39:43.620 of anything

01:39:44.600 from taxes

01:39:45.460 to socialism

01:39:46.520 because

01:39:48.880 Thomas Jefferson

01:39:50.340 refused to

01:39:51.560 give this

01:39:52.340 chit

01:39:52.840 to

01:39:53.720 the slave owners.

01:39:55.980 life

01:40:00.080 liberty

01:40:00.640 and

01:40:01.240 property

01:40:01.700 and

01:40:03.780 that

01:40:04.620 to

01:40:04.820 secure

01:40:05.360 these

01:40:05.800 rights

01:40:06.320 governments

01:40:08.460 are instituted

01:40:09.480 among men.

01:40:11.440 Wait a minute

01:40:12.160 what?

01:40:13.200 I thought

01:40:13.800 the government

01:40:14.200 was here

01:40:14.580 to build

01:40:14.860 schools.

01:40:16.220 I thought

01:40:16.820 the government

01:40:17.220 was supposed

01:40:18.720 to build

01:40:19.160 roads.

01:40:20.000 No the government

01:40:20.560 is supposed

01:40:20.940 to keep us

01:40:21.480 safe.

01:40:22.180 They're supposed

01:40:22.520 to build

01:40:22.860 an army.

01:40:23.360 No no

01:40:23.760 no

01:40:24.160 no

01:40:24.640 the government

01:40:26.680 is established

01:40:27.620 to secure

01:40:29.360 these rights

01:40:30.540 and among

01:40:31.240 these rights

01:40:32.040 are life

01:40:32.680 liberty

01:40:33.100 and property.

01:40:34.920 That's it.

01:40:36.100 That's what

01:40:36.580 they're for.

01:40:37.540 They may need

01:40:38.540 an army

01:40:38.940 to do that

01:40:39.780 because somebody

01:40:40.820 else from a

01:40:41.420 foreign land

01:40:41.960 may come

01:40:42.400 and try to

01:40:42.820 take our

01:40:43.180 stuff away

01:40:43.820 but that's

01:40:45.960 what they're

01:40:46.300 instituted

01:40:46.920 among men

01:40:47.860 for.

01:40:48.840 That's it.

01:40:50.120 And they

01:40:50.600 derive their

01:40:51.280 just powers

01:40:52.100 from the

01:40:53.240 consent of

01:40:53.960 the governed.

01:40:54.640 And whenever

01:40:55.960 the government

01:40:56.840 becomes destructive

01:40:58.020 to those

01:40:59.320 rights

01:40:59.860 it is the

01:41:02.120 right of

01:41:02.700 the people

01:41:03.060 to abolish

01:41:03.980 or alter

01:41:04.600 it

01:41:04.880 and institute

01:41:06.180 a new

01:41:06.580 government

01:41:06.960 laying its

01:41:07.480 foundations

01:41:07.900 on such

01:41:08.420 principles

01:41:08.860 and organizing

01:41:09.500 its powers

01:41:10.060 in such

01:41:10.560 a form

01:41:11.000 that it

01:41:11.900 shall seem

01:41:12.540 most likely

01:41:13.460 to affect

01:41:14.160 the safety

01:41:14.900 and happiness.

01:41:16.620 Now listen

01:41:17.320 to that.

01:41:18.280 You can't

01:41:18.840 just abolish.

01:41:21.420 People who

01:41:22.040 are crying

01:41:22.420 burn the whole

01:41:22.920 thing down.

01:41:23.460 the whole

01:41:24.180 thing's

01:41:24.460 broken.

01:41:24.820 You can't

01:41:25.140 just do

01:41:25.500 that.

01:41:27.900 No, you

01:41:28.740 have a

01:41:29.140 right to

01:41:29.900 alter or

01:41:30.500 abolish.

01:41:31.800 But you

01:41:32.620 also must

01:41:33.920 constitute a

01:41:34.840 new government

01:41:35.620 laying its

01:41:36.640 foundations

01:41:37.320 on the

01:41:38.300 principles and

01:41:39.140 organizing its

01:41:39.980 powers in

01:41:40.980 such a way

01:41:41.620 that the new

01:41:42.660 government will

01:41:43.700 secure those

01:41:44.800 rights that

01:41:45.480 were given to

01:41:46.180 the people

01:41:46.600 by God.

01:41:49.140 And you

01:41:49.860 can't just do

01:41:50.320 it for

01:41:50.540 anything.

01:41:50.920 prudence

01:41:54.040 indeed would

01:41:54.560 dictate that

01:41:55.000 the government's

01:41:55.540 long-established

01:41:56.140 shouldn't be

01:41:56.500 changed for

01:41:56.920 light and

01:41:57.440 transient

01:41:57.900 causes.

01:42:00.640 Accordingly,

01:42:01.280 all experience

01:42:02.080 has shown that

01:42:02.680 mankind is

01:42:03.680 more disposed

01:42:04.600 to suffer

01:42:05.240 while evils

01:42:06.600 are sufferable

01:42:07.240 than to

01:42:07.600 right themselves

01:42:08.300 by abolishing

01:42:09.160 that which

01:42:10.660 they are

01:42:11.360 accustomed to.

01:42:13.300 So wait.

01:42:14.280 if you want

01:42:17.040 to abolish

01:42:17.680 it, then

01:42:18.960 you have

01:42:19.460 to change

01:42:20.040 it and

01:42:20.740 you have

01:42:21.180 to lay

01:42:21.520 its

01:42:21.700 foundations

01:42:22.180 on things

01:42:23.100 that would

01:42:23.480 secure

01:42:24.000 more rights.

01:42:26.440 But you

01:42:27.160 can't do it

01:42:27.540 for light

01:42:27.900 things,

01:42:28.520 transient

01:42:28.860 causes,

01:42:29.680 popular.

01:42:31.240 Populism

01:42:31.820 would not

01:42:32.500 be a

01:42:32.800 reason to

01:42:34.480 abolish our

01:42:36.000 government.

01:42:36.440 But you

01:42:38.880 have to

01:42:39.180 understand

01:42:39.740 that people

01:42:40.700 are more

01:42:42.820 likely just

01:42:43.380 to suffer

01:42:43.940 abuses

01:42:44.440 than to

01:42:45.860 do

01:42:46.040 something

01:42:46.360 radical.

01:42:48.240 So it's

01:42:48.900 a balance

01:42:49.300 in the

01:42:49.600 end.

01:42:52.960 That's the

01:42:53.620 whole

01:42:53.880 quintessential

01:42:54.700 American

01:42:55.660 story.

01:42:56.120 That's it.

01:42:57.060 That's it.

01:42:57.700 That's the

01:42:58.040 American idea.

01:42:59.000 There's nothing

01:42:59.520 I was going

01:43:01.500 to say more

01:43:01.920 grand than

01:43:02.500 that.

01:43:02.820 There's

01:43:03.080 nothing less

01:43:03.700 grand

01:43:04.240 than that.

01:43:06.440 But the

01:43:11.640 problem is

01:43:12.480 the

01:43:15.080 rights.

01:43:16.920 I gave

01:43:17.680 a speech

01:43:18.140 on Friday

01:43:18.860 and I

01:43:19.520 asked an

01:43:19.880 audience of

01:43:20.360 about 700

01:43:21.120 people,

01:43:21.780 who can

01:43:23.300 name the

01:43:23.840 first five

01:43:24.680 rights in

01:43:26.320 the Bill

01:43:26.540 of Rights?

01:43:28.320 Two hands

01:43:29.560 went up.

01:43:31.600 Now my

01:43:32.340 wife later

01:43:32.880 pointed out

01:43:33.460 she thought

01:43:33.880 more hands

01:43:34.440 would go up

01:43:35.040 but they

01:43:35.360 were afraid

01:43:35.700 that you

01:43:36.040 would call

01:43:36.420 on them.

01:43:37.780 Which I

01:43:38.520 did.

01:43:39.720 But only

01:43:40.500 two hands

01:43:41.500 went up

01:43:42.380 and they

01:43:44.500 were right.

01:43:48.460 Can you

01:43:49.220 name the

01:43:49.560 first five?

01:43:50.100 How can

01:43:59.340 we possibly

01:44:00.220 save a

01:44:01.120 government?

01:44:02.120 How can

01:44:02.940 we possibly

01:44:03.720 save our

01:44:04.300 culture if

01:44:06.300 we don't

01:44:07.080 know what

01:44:08.320 rights we

01:44:09.380 do have?

01:44:10.540 currently we

01:44:21.060 confuse our

01:44:22.920 rights.

01:44:23.820 We confuse

01:44:24.760 our right to

01:44:25.440 not be

01:44:25.860 offended.

01:44:26.700 You don't

01:44:27.060 have that

01:44:27.400 right.

01:44:28.160 You're going

01:44:28.740 to be

01:44:29.040 offended.

01:44:30.820 Now we're

01:44:31.520 talking about

01:44:32.060 the right to

01:44:32.600 bear arms.

01:44:34.340 These are the

01:44:35.080 rights of

01:44:35.700 nature's God

01:44:36.660 and nature's

01:44:38.200 law.

01:44:42.140 I can walk

01:44:43.160 into a

01:44:43.640 bear cave

01:44:44.280 and I

01:44:46.000 can go

01:44:46.280 try to

01:44:46.640 cuddle the

01:44:47.180 little

01:44:47.400 grizzly bear

01:44:48.040 and if

01:44:49.520 mama grizzly

01:44:50.220 bear tears

01:44:50.840 me apart

01:44:51.400 not a

01:44:52.080 single person

01:44:52.900 within the

01:44:53.420 sound of

01:44:53.720 my voice

01:44:54.140 is going

01:44:54.440 to shed

01:44:54.700 a tear

01:44:54.980 for me.

01:44:55.820 Not one.

01:44:58.220 Why?

01:44:58.740 Because the

01:45:00.580 bear has a

01:45:01.560 right to

01:45:02.280 defend itself

01:45:03.600 and its

01:45:04.880 young.

01:45:06.180 That's a

01:45:06.780 natural right.

01:45:08.400 Now if that

01:45:09.440 bear comes

01:45:10.060 into my

01:45:10.860 home,

01:45:13.620 nobody is

01:45:14.280 going to

01:45:14.480 well, I

01:45:15.140 can't say

01:45:15.540 the same

01:45:15.900 because people

01:45:16.400 will say the

01:45:17.180 bears have a

01:45:17.740 right to

01:45:18.180 your home

01:45:18.760 and all

01:45:19.520 kinds of

01:45:19.860 crazy nonsense.

01:45:21.080 But anybody

01:45:21.900 with common

01:45:22.480 sense will

01:45:23.320 not have a

01:45:24.080 problem with

01:45:24.520 me shooting

01:45:25.100 the bear in

01:45:25.880 my home

01:45:26.500 because I

01:45:27.800 have a right

01:45:28.340 to protect

01:45:28.880 myself from

01:45:30.200 the big bad

01:45:30.720 grizzly bear.

01:45:32.380 A natural

01:45:33.300 right.

01:45:35.300 Where we've

01:45:36.220 gone wrong

01:45:37.000 is now

01:45:39.180 trying to

01:45:39.640 figure out

01:45:40.020 what right

01:45:41.020 and how

01:45:42.140 far does

01:45:43.040 that right

01:45:43.600 go.

01:45:45.740 We're now

01:45:46.560 talking about

01:45:47.300 how to

01:45:47.700 reduce mass

01:45:48.320 shooting deaths.

01:45:49.480 Experts say

01:45:50.120 these laws

01:45:51.000 could help.

01:45:53.300 Here are the

01:45:54.080 laws.

01:45:55.320 An assault

01:45:55.920 weapons ban.

01:45:56.760 How does

01:45:58.760 that help

01:45:59.140 exactly?

01:46:01.440 Amazing.

01:46:02.160 It's the one

01:46:02.540 they've actually

01:46:03.060 tried and

01:46:03.700 has already

01:46:04.080 shown in

01:46:05.060 study after

01:46:05.820 study to

01:46:06.360 not be

01:46:06.880 effective.

01:46:07.500 A full

01:46:09.180 ban on

01:46:10.120 guns did

01:46:11.060 not reduce

01:46:11.820 murders in

01:46:13.040 Australia or

01:46:14.320 in Great

01:46:14.680 Britain.

01:46:15.440 In fact,

01:46:15.860 in Australia

01:46:16.320 they went

01:46:16.760 up.

01:46:18.140 Gun

01:46:18.440 related

01:46:18.860 murders.

01:46:20.840 Hello?

01:46:22.140 I mean,

01:46:22.780 it's amazing

01:46:23.180 and that's

01:46:23.440 more than

01:46:23.980 they ever

01:46:24.420 asked for

01:46:25.080 even here.

01:46:25.940 I mean,

01:46:26.120 what they

01:46:26.380 have for

01:46:26.820 automatic

01:46:27.200 weapons here

01:46:27.800 is more

01:46:28.100 than they've

01:46:28.440 ever even

01:46:28.860 asked for

01:46:29.600 at least

01:46:30.460 publicly.

01:46:31.180 No,

01:46:31.320 that's not

01:46:31.740 exactly true

01:46:32.700 because I

01:46:33.520 was talking

01:46:33.840 to a friend

01:46:34.340 who was

01:46:34.960 very liberal

01:46:36.640 and I

01:46:37.500 scared the

01:46:37.980 crap out

01:46:38.700 of him

01:46:38.920 because he

01:46:39.180 was like,

01:46:39.800 you know,

01:46:40.000 Glenn,

01:46:40.780 we just

01:46:41.300 have to,

01:46:41.780 I mean,

01:46:42.060 there's only

01:46:42.360 so many

01:46:42.720 guns you

01:46:43.120 could have.

01:46:44.240 We just

01:46:44.820 have to,

01:46:45.340 you know,

01:46:45.520 there's crazy

01:46:46.160 people own

01:46:46.700 a lot of

01:46:47.180 guns.

01:46:48.080 And I

01:46:48.380 said,

01:46:48.580 really?

01:46:48.800 What's a

01:46:49.040 lot of

01:46:49.240 guns?

01:46:49.640 I mean,

01:46:50.160 you know,

01:46:50.460 five or six

01:46:55.080 that.

01:46:56.120 And he

01:46:56.720 said,

01:46:57.020 he just

01:46:57.280 looked at

01:46:57.500 me like,

01:46:58.020 what?

01:46:59.380 I said,

01:46:59.660 yeah,

01:46:59.760 I've got a

01:47:00.140 lot more

01:47:00.720 than that.

01:47:01.280 Yeah,

01:47:01.420 but you

01:47:01.740 don't have

01:47:02.360 those

01:47:02.700 semi-automatics.

01:47:04.280 And I

01:47:04.480 said,

01:47:04.860 all guns

01:47:05.920 that I

01:47:06.260 own are

01:47:06.620 semi-automatics.

01:47:07.600 I even

01:47:07.980 own two

01:47:08.620 fully automatic

01:47:09.520 guns.

01:47:11.160 What?

01:47:12.060 Yeah.

01:47:13.020 Yeah.

01:47:14.040 A lot

01:47:15.000 of them.

01:47:16.480 Does that

01:47:17.120 make me a

01:47:17.580 danger?

01:47:18.780 Well,

01:47:19.120 I don't,

01:47:21.300 but I know

01:47:22.360 you.

01:47:23.380 Yeah.

01:47:23.640 I mean,

01:47:23.800 that's

01:47:23.940 whenever you

01:47:24.540 get down

01:47:24.920 to where

01:47:25.360 the Jews,

01:47:26.220 you know,

01:47:26.400 where you

01:47:26.840 could make

01:47:27.200 the argument

01:47:27.640 that some

01:47:28.480 Germans made

01:47:29.100 for Jews.

01:47:30.000 Yeah,

01:47:30.100 well,

01:47:30.280 this is my

01:47:31.000 Jew.

01:47:31.460 I know

01:47:31.920 this Jew.

01:47:32.600 The rest

01:47:32.960 of them

01:47:33.200 are bad,

01:47:33.680 but this

01:47:34.080 one is

01:47:34.480 okay.

01:47:35.120 You're

01:47:35.380 in trouble

01:47:35.720 territory.

01:47:37.120 Yeah,

01:47:37.260 well,

01:47:37.440 Glenn,

01:47:37.900 I know

01:47:38.440 Glenn,

01:47:39.040 so he's

01:47:39.520 not a

01:47:39.860 problem,

01:47:40.280 but everybody

01:47:40.740 else.

01:47:41.920 Who are

01:47:42.500 you to

01:47:42.860 decide?

01:47:43.340 It seems

01:47:43.520 like everybody

01:47:43.920 who knew

01:47:44.420 this Vegas

01:47:44.960 guy didn't

01:47:45.560 think he

01:47:45.840 was capable

01:47:46.260 of this

01:47:46.640 either.

01:47:47.560 You know,

01:47:48.140 and it's

01:47:48.460 weird.

01:47:49.140 What?

01:47:51.080 The Vegas

01:47:52.080 guy.

01:47:54.540 way,

01:47:54.920 anything

01:47:55.320 you could

01:47:55.940 have done

01:47:56.360 to stop

01:47:57.300 him?

01:47:59.040 He had

01:47:59.780 the motive.

01:48:00.780 We don't

01:48:01.080 know what

01:48:01.360 it was.

01:48:02.180 He didn't

01:48:03.020 have a motive.

01:48:03.560 It doesn't

01:48:04.020 seem,

01:48:04.400 at least

01:48:04.620 yet.

01:48:06.020 I mean,

01:48:06.300 he had

01:48:07.220 to have

01:48:07.460 had some

01:48:07.880 motive.

01:48:09.480 I mean,

01:48:10.020 even if it

01:48:10.320 was crazy

01:48:10.840 and he

01:48:11.140 thought that

01:48:11.400 they were

01:48:11.640 all space

01:48:12.260 invaders,

01:48:12.760 he had

01:48:13.060 some motive.

01:48:15.140 Just to

01:48:15.660 entertain

01:48:16.040 himself,

01:48:16.560 perhaps?

01:48:17.040 It may

01:48:17.180 have been.

01:48:17.620 I don't

01:48:17.900 know what

01:48:18.300 it was,

01:48:18.860 but he

01:48:19.560 had motive.

01:48:20.320 He had

01:48:20.680 the means.

01:48:21.800 I mean,

01:48:22.040 he was a

01:48:22.420 millionaire.

01:48:23.240 I don't

01:48:23.560 understand why

01:48:24.240 he had

01:48:24.660 bump stocks

01:48:25.420 when,

01:48:26.480 as a

01:48:26.860 millionaire,

01:48:27.340 you can

01:48:27.660 go buy

01:48:28.120 a fully

01:48:28.800 automatic

01:48:29.280 weapon.

01:48:30.840 It's very

01:48:31.420 difficult,

01:48:31.980 right?

01:48:32.340 Yeah,

01:48:32.500 it's very

01:48:32.860 difficult.

01:48:33.400 You,

01:48:33.500 I mean,

01:48:34.620 legitimately

01:48:35.180 do have

01:48:36.060 two fully

01:48:38.100 automatic weapons.

01:48:38.740 And it will

01:48:39.080 make you sweat

01:48:39.780 every time you

01:48:40.380 even come

01:48:40.760 close to them

01:48:41.340 because you're

01:48:41.620 like,

01:48:41.860 am I violating

01:48:42.400 the law on

01:48:42.880 this one?

01:48:43.220 I mean,

01:48:43.520 it's,

01:48:44.020 they're so

01:48:45.020 highly

01:48:45.560 restricted.

01:48:46.400 And you're

01:48:46.720 one of like

01:48:47.460 0.01%

01:48:48.900 of Americans

01:48:49.520 who actually

01:48:49.980 have,

01:48:50.240 most of them

01:48:50.640 are just

01:48:50.860 gun dealers

01:48:51.580 at this

01:48:51.920 point,

01:48:52.240 right?

01:48:52.420 Yes,

01:48:52.440 yes.

01:48:53.280 And you

01:48:53.560 can't buy,

01:48:54.100 and none

01:48:54.280 of them have

01:48:54.620 been manufactured

01:48:55.640 after 1986.

01:48:57.600 Yes,

01:48:57.740 so they're

01:48:58.040 all,

01:48:58.340 they're all,

01:48:58.840 you know,

01:48:59.240 historic guns.

01:49:01.180 And,

01:49:01.640 and like,

01:49:02.100 I couldn't

01:49:02.420 hand it to

01:49:02.880 you.

01:49:03.100 I'd be

01:49:03.320 violating the

01:49:04.300 law if I

01:49:04.660 handed it

01:49:05.080 to you.

01:49:05.340 Really?

01:49:05.800 If you

01:49:06.160 held it,

01:49:06.600 if you,

01:49:07.620 if I

01:49:07.860 handed it

01:49:08.340 to you,

01:49:08.540 say,

01:49:08.700 hey,

01:49:08.760 would you

01:49:08.960 just bring

01:49:09.260 this to

01:49:09.480 the car?

01:49:10.600 I think

01:49:11.160 both of

01:49:11.540 us might

01:49:11.840 go to

01:49:12.060 prison.

01:49:13.140 I'm pretty

01:49:13.720 sure I

01:49:14.100 would,

01:49:14.380 at least.

01:49:15.180 Wow.

01:49:15.680 Yeah,

01:49:15.880 I mean,

01:49:16.080 it's,

01:49:16.320 it's highly,

01:49:17.820 highly regulated.

01:49:19.520 And that

01:49:20.040 may be the

01:49:20.520 only reason

01:49:20.900 why he

01:49:21.220 didn't,

01:49:21.820 why he

01:49:22.280 didn't buy

01:49:22.740 them.

01:49:23.060 But there's

01:49:23.340 nothing you

01:49:23.820 could have

01:49:24.120 done.

01:49:24.740 I mean,

01:49:25.160 the people

01:49:25.820 that last

01:49:26.260 week said,

01:49:26.820 you know,

01:49:27.820 we got to

01:49:29.120 get rid of

01:49:29.440 these guns.

01:49:30.200 I know,

01:49:30.620 because they

01:49:31.720 don't have

01:49:32.060 any guns

01:49:32.600 in London,

01:49:34.080 and they

01:49:34.940 never have a

01:49:35.580 problem at

01:49:36.000 concerts in

01:49:36.600 London or

01:49:37.840 in France.

01:49:38.600 Right.

01:49:39.100 Or in

01:49:39.660 festivals,

01:49:40.180 right?

01:49:40.480 Yeah,

01:49:40.680 or in

01:49:41.040 Sweden.

01:49:41.860 Nice.

01:49:42.880 Or Norway.

01:49:44.660 That's what I

01:49:45.100 meant,

01:49:45.300 Norway.

01:49:45.680 The worst

01:49:45.940 mass shooting

01:49:46.480 of all time

01:49:47.120 happened in

01:49:47.680 Norway.

01:49:48.240 They have

01:49:48.620 no guns.

01:49:49.420 No guns

01:49:49.860 there.

01:49:50.060 Zero.

01:49:50.680 Yeah.

01:49:51.380 I mean,

01:49:51.640 think of the

01:49:52.200 combination of

01:49:53.140 how you're

01:49:53.440 going to try

01:49:53.680 to stop

01:49:53.940 this guy.

01:49:54.400 First of

01:49:54.780 all,

01:49:55.200 he's

01:49:55.480 wealthy.

01:49:56.140 So normally

01:49:56.740 there'd be

01:49:57.060 a person who

01:49:57.540 might not be

01:49:57.860 able to afford

01:49:58.480 all these

01:49:58.880 extra weapons

01:49:59.560 and all the

01:49:59.920 crazy things

01:50:00.400 that he did,

01:50:00.740 but he passed

01:50:01.480 that one.

01:50:02.360 He's seemingly

01:50:03.000 smart,

01:50:03.660 an intelligent

01:50:04.200 guy who

01:50:04.760 was able

01:50:05.040 to complicated

01:50:06.240 mathematics.

01:50:07.120 He's not just

01:50:07.480 some moron

01:50:08.520 who's going

01:50:08.760 to screw

01:50:09.060 it up.

01:50:09.720 He was

01:50:09.980 meticulous.

01:50:11.680 They were

01:50:12.380 talking about

01:50:12.760 how he brought

01:50:13.260 up these

01:50:13.600 10 suitcases

01:50:14.880 of weapons.

01:50:15.700 He was doing

01:50:16.180 them and

01:50:16.640 he would

01:50:17.240 bring up

01:50:17.520 two suitcases

01:50:18.220 then wait

01:50:19.120 eight hours

01:50:19.660 for the

01:50:20.040 staff to

01:50:20.760 change over

01:50:21.200 so they

01:50:21.480 wouldn't

01:50:21.680 notice him

01:50:22.240 bringing up

01:50:22.800 multiple

01:50:23.380 suitcases.

01:50:24.460 Again,

01:50:24.820 very difficult.

01:50:25.860 Someone who's

01:50:26.320 not meticulous

01:50:26.960 could be

01:50:27.340 caught.

01:50:28.260 He was

01:50:28.600 very private.

01:50:29.600 If a person

01:50:30.020 was on social

01:50:32.180 media all the

01:50:32.940 time,

01:50:33.100 it wouldn't

01:50:33.380 work.

01:50:33.600 All of

01:50:34.440 these things

01:50:34.800 that go

01:50:35.100 on and

01:50:35.600 you can't

01:50:37.040 solve all

01:50:37.800 of these

01:50:38.060 things.

01:50:38.180 Even if

01:50:38.540 you took

01:50:38.860 away his

01:50:39.300 guns,

01:50:40.300 he still

01:50:40.940 would have

01:50:41.460 a bomb

01:50:41.920 or he

01:50:42.900 still would

01:50:43.540 have a

01:50:44.260 truck.

01:50:46.920 If you

01:50:47.580 travel for

01:50:49.960 of wins
