Summary
Glenn and Stu discuss the latest in the Roy Moore scandal, Gloria Allred, and the new group of "scumbag" scumbags supporting him, and why they don't give a hoot about them.
Transcript
00:00:16.180
All right, it's not looking good for Roy Moore again today.
00:00:19.620
Senate Republicans really don't want to get him elected, and neither do at least five women now.
00:00:26.600
Yesterday, Beverly Young Nelson announced at a news conference that Moore attacked her in his car when she was 16 and he was 30.
00:00:37.580
Nelson said Moore offered to drive her home one night after she was waitressing on her shift and it was over.
00:00:44.040
Her boyfriend didn't show up, so he said, I'll take you home.
00:00:48.400
She said they got into the car and he drove her to the back of the restaurant where he locked the doors and then he groped her.
00:00:54.840
He tried to take her skirt off, grabbed her neck, and tried to force her head toward his crotch.
00:01:04.380
After she struggled against his advances, she said that he dumped her out of the car in the parking lot and sped away.
00:01:12.660
She also said that Moore told her that he was the district attorney and she was just a child and no one will ever believe you if she tried to report the incident.
00:01:25.920
But even if one of the allegations against him is even partially true, everybody in Washington is saying he should drop out of the race and check into therapy.
00:01:36.060
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell believes the woman and now wants Moore to drop out.
00:01:42.340
Now Republicans are brainstorming ways to kick Moore out, even if he wins, in Alabama's special Senate election on December 12th.
00:01:49.820
One option would be for Republicans to allow him to be seated in the U.S., the Senate, and then expel him.
00:01:58.460
Some are even considering a write-in candidate.
00:02:01.300
That seems unrealistic this close to the election.
00:02:04.660
But then again, no Democrat has ever won a Senate seat from Alabama in 25 years, so it may not be so far-fetched.
00:02:12.700
This Alabama Senate election is a microcosm of America's current social and political quagmire.
00:02:20.260
The flood of sexual assault and harassment accusations against powerful men and the willingness of voters on the right and the left to overlook serious character problems in candidates in order to win.
00:02:57.140
I know I really strongly dislike Gloria Allred.
00:03:00.700
I was watching this yesterday where she brought out the victim and she's just glued herself to her shoulder so there was no way the camera could ever shoot without Gloria Allred in it.
00:03:17.840
She's sitting next to the reported victim and her face is approximately nine inches away from her face.
00:03:34.820
It's just that every time she's like, to me, she's Al Sharpton.
00:03:38.340
If you see a press conference with Al Sharpton, you immediately dismiss it.
00:03:44.080
She's taking lots of high profile, sort of salacious media cases.
00:03:48.760
She's constantly coming up with accusers against Republicans.
00:03:52.980
She does the press conference the same way, seemingly every time.
00:03:56.280
She did it with a bunch of the Trump accusers during the campaign where she sits, you know, very close to them.
00:04:03.540
And they all read while sitting at the table, read the statement.
00:04:11.780
Yeah, and she's always there with a box of Kleenex.
00:04:18.500
It really hurts the credibility of any accuser that goes to her because she's just such, I mean, she's Al Sharpton.
00:04:25.840
It's like, it's hard to, it's hard to take anything that happens.
00:04:30.280
I mean, you watched this thing yesterday and obviously the woman's very upset and everything else.
00:04:34.120
Gloria Allred sucks some of the credibility out of anything she's associated with.
00:04:37.780
I think if this woman would have come out without Gloria Allred at her side, it would have, it would have, it would have made a much bigger impact.
00:04:48.200
Just by having Gloria Allred at her side has made so many people, makes me immediately go, okay, well, I don't know.
00:04:59.460
Um, and so you don't, you don't take her seriously.
00:05:03.400
The days of the Al Sharptons and the Gloria Allreds, I think are long gone and let's celebrate for a moment.
00:05:12.560
Um, however, a new group of scumbags will, you know, they'll appear at some point, but, uh, until then we just have to have Gloria Allred and Al Sharpton.
00:05:21.800
But, um, so dismiss her for a second and listen.
00:05:27.000
And it's amazing because I listened to this today.
00:05:30.120
I listened to the audio, uh, and I watched the audio yesterday and she seemed to have more credibility than when I listened to her.
00:05:39.740
Um, it doesn't, it's just not, it just doesn't sound right when I'm listening to her, but I watch her and it seems right.
00:05:48.660
And she has some, uh, some corroborating evidence, I would say.
00:06:00.240
Mr. Moore reached over and began groping me and putting his hands on my breasts.
00:06:06.960
I tried to open my car door to leave, but he reached over and he locked it so I could not get out.
00:06:16.440
I tried fighting him off while yelling at him to stop.
00:06:23.060
But instead of stopping, he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his crotch.
00:06:37.600
I was twisting and I was struggling and I was begging him to stop.
00:06:45.480
It's like, here's a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, horrible story from this woman's life.
00:06:55.360
And it's because Allred wants to control the entire thing.
00:06:59.460
It's just a strange way to present these stories.
00:07:02.040
I mean, it has nothing to do with whether it's true or not.
00:07:09.000
Okay, here she is being threatened to stay quiet.
00:07:26.940
And he said, I am the district attorney of Etowah County.
00:07:31.860
And if you tell anyone about this, no one will ever believe you.
00:07:45.620
She seemed like she was trying to force her feelings a little bit.
00:07:49.540
And I think it's just from, again, all red coaching.
00:08:00.440
Now, here's what Roy Moore said immediately after.
00:08:11.660
They know what I've stood for in the political world for over 40 years.
00:08:14.900
And I can tell you without hesitation, this is absolutely false.
00:08:25.180
I don't even know where the restaurant is or was.
00:08:28.940
And if you look at this situation, you'll see that because I'm 11 points ahead or 10 or 11 points ahead, this race being just 28 days off, that this is a political maneuver.
00:08:45.320
Okay, first of all, that just whether you whether he's telling the truth or not, unfortunately, that feels like this.
00:08:57.080
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
00:09:01.400
It sounds the same, at least to me, it felt the same.
00:09:15.720
And I don't even know where the restaurant is or was.
00:09:20.840
The evidence that she presented yesterday is his signature in her yearbook.
00:09:27.900
I don't understand how have you ever signed a yearbook outside of high schools to I don't think so.
00:09:35.900
So I don't know how the yearbooks were all signed by this guy.
00:09:39.980
But so he signed a yet another yearbook where he signed it.
00:09:45.240
And in this, he said to the most beautiful girl.
00:09:50.840
Do you have it to a sweeter, more beautiful girl?
00:09:53.580
Well, I could not say Merry Christmas, Christmas, 1977.
00:09:59.220
And then gives the date, which is December 22nd, 1977.
00:10:04.420
And then it says Old Hickory House, which is the name of the restaurant she worked at.
00:10:10.020
Right now, again, obviously, I don't I don't know what the excuse.
00:10:14.740
I don't think he's denied it was him who wrote this.
00:10:17.640
And, you know, maybe he knew her, you know, for 10 minutes and he was being nice.
00:10:23.880
And there's, you know, she could have a yearbook does not prove he tried to rape her.
00:10:28.400
So here's what could have here's what could have happened.
00:10:31.360
He could have been at the Old Hickory House, which he doesn't recall now at all, because he was only there once.
00:10:40.220
And that was open very, you know, it was open for a week.
00:10:56.960
He signs the yearbook and then writes underneath Old Hickory, because that's where he was sitting.
00:11:03.200
Of course, the fact that he denied knowing about the restaurant is not helpful.
00:11:07.500
No, if that were the actual case, which makes me think it isn't the actual case.
00:11:14.100
Now, here's a list of all of the people that have that were on board and now are jumping off board.
00:11:22.520
OK, so here are the these are the people who have denounced his campaign.
00:11:25.780
John McCain was the first one the day the story came out.
00:11:40.440
Then I guess, let's see, yesterday or yeah, yesterday it was a bunch.
00:11:46.120
You had Mitch McConnell, which was kind of the one that was promoted the most.
00:11:53.680
Cory Gardner, who this is after he had banned birth control.
00:12:00.040
He does not have the right to comment on these things after the guy bans birth control.
00:12:12.160
Shelby, which is a big one, obviously being from Alabama.
00:12:14.800
Then you had Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Orrin Hatch and Todd Young.
00:12:24.060
16 of 52 Senate Republicans have now denounced or withdrawn their their endorsement.
00:12:42.300
As you point out, there are some crazy things they can try to do.
00:12:45.180
But the bottom line is that people in Alabama are going to make this decision.
00:12:56.720
So it could go really either way that people from Alabama are going to look at this.
00:13:09.680
And I honestly like I could see anything happening here.
00:13:12.840
I could see the people of Alabama saying we know.
00:13:15.660
Remember, because it's always like all elections are local.
00:13:19.520
And everybody can look at a Chuck Schumer and go, the guy's a dirtbag.
00:13:24.220
But the people in New York, they're like, I know him.
00:13:30.220
And so, you know, you have no idea how the people of Alabama are going to react to this.
00:13:35.920
Um, but, uh, it's not going, it's not going well for Roy Moore.
00:13:43.180
And I am, I am for one, I don't want to hear anything from the left.
00:13:51.180
Chelsea Handler, um, yesterday tweeted, can you imagine, can you imagine being this woman
00:13:57.640
and have to listen and, and, and not being believed in all that?
00:14:02.980
You know who retweeted that with an answer to it?
00:14:06.400
The, the answer just said, yes, I can imagine Juanita Broderick.
00:14:11.740
When the, when the left decides to believe Juanita Broderick, who I believe was so credible
00:14:20.400
when they will actually take on Bill Clinton and say, you know what, maybe we should look
00:14:27.380
Maybe we've done a disservice when they begin to look at him.
00:14:54.320
We'll try to get your phone call in at 888-727-BECK.
00:14:59.260
Tanya and I, uh, needed to, uh, redo our bedroom.
00:15:02.620
I don't know if you're like this, but our bedroom is always the last thing, uh, to be
00:15:07.320
I mean, everything else gets it first and our bedroom is the last.
00:15:11.340
And she was, she was tired of the way the, the bedroom looked.
00:15:14.500
And so I had promised her, I don't remember, I don't know, Valentine's day.
00:15:22.360
And I said, I'm going to get this done this year.
00:15:25.760
And, uh, and so we took the time on a Saturday morning and we contacted blinds.com.
00:15:32.400
I expected that I was only going to have to make an appointment with them.
00:15:35.000
I didn't expect them to write back right away and go, Hey, we're ready to help.
00:15:41.180
We took pictures of the, uh, the house, uh, you know, the bedroom and then superimposed
00:15:48.540

00:17:09.940
We're doing a, uh, we're doing a special this week on, uh, the blaze.com.
00:17:14.700
Um, my TV show at five o'clock is doing a four part series on Antifa and what, what Antifa
00:17:27.840
Uh, we, we've dug into it and had our researchers, uh, put together a chalkboard series on Antifa
00:17:35.100
Uh, and we've, we've tried to make it so, uh, your kids or, you know, uh, college students
00:17:43.540
are going to be able to, uh, listen to that and say, okay, well, he's not just rejecting
00:17:51.020
Um, and I'm trying to approach this so you can share it with somebody, uh, who is kind
00:17:59.100
of falling for it and, uh, and trying to present the message to them so it will help you out.
00:18:06.720
Uh, so you'll be able to learn something and you'll be able to share it with a friend or,
00:18:10.520
uh, a loved one that might be going in the wrong direction.
00:18:13.580
The history of Antifa, uh, coming up, we, we have to, we have time now we have to share
00:18:25.220
This, uh, this is a, uh, new designer jacket, uh, and it is for the Antifa and anarchist, um,
00:18:38.200
It is a, uh, you know, it's a, uh, army jacket, if you will.
00:18:44.740
Uh, and the designer took a Sharpie and wrote all kinds of things on them.
00:18:53.080
Uh, for instance, on one pocket, it says, uh, no borders and protect what you love.
00:18:59.560
Uh, the other side, it says, uh, they've tried to burn us.
00:19:08.920
Um, uh, I like this one cause it's, it's so in touch with the kids today.
00:19:18.740
If you look on the other sleeve, it says, uh, um, a bombing for peace is like for virginity.
00:19:27.480
But my favorite is underneath that sleeve, that same sleeve.
00:19:57.900
So here's, so here's the thing about this jacket.
00:20:01.440
This jacket is sold at Barney's for $400 in New York.
00:20:07.740
So they're, they're selling an Antifa anarchist, uh, jacket for $400.
00:20:19.500
So you can, you can throw a Molotov cocktail through the Barney's window on your way out.
00:20:50.000
Uh, the other day, USA Today, uh, taught us all a little bit about guns.
00:20:54.560
And the need, uh, you know, the need for really understanding the ins and outs.
00:20:58.100
Cause I mean, a lot of people will say guns are good or guns are bad and not really understand
00:21:06.920
They not only understand, they not only stand to the, uh, nuances of gun safety.
00:21:11.400
They also understand what the rails on an AR are for.
00:21:18.380
And they were talking about the shooting, uh, uh, the last week, uh, and discussing the,
00:21:27.000
And they showed the different attachments and they said, you know, this is, these are the
00:21:33.300
Um, and you should know about them such as, for example, the shotgun attachment, which you
00:21:38.960
would take an AR 15 and then attach for some reason, a shotgun to the bottom of it.
00:21:44.440
And everybody has one, which everyone basically has, everyone has one.
00:21:48.560
Um, and then of course the very famous, uh, chainsaw bayonet.
00:21:54.060
Now you, you may have never seen, cause if you're not from Texas or one of these Southern states
00:21:59.080
with all the rednecks in it, you may have never seen someone with a, with a chainsaw bayonet,
00:22:05.200
I told my, I told my son, I gave it to him for Christmas.
00:22:08.880
Uh, I think he was about six and I said, try to be careful with this.
00:22:12.080
And, uh, so, you know, he's been having the, the AR with the, uh, chainsaw attachment for
00:22:19.680
Now, I don't know if you saw this too, but I went out, we, I, I spent the day, I couldn't
00:22:25.480
find a single Cabela's that was selling the chainsaw attachment.
00:22:29.320
That's so strange because I think it's something like 97% of all guns have chainsaws attached
00:22:34.560
And I, I don't know, maybe they were all sold out cause so many have been, could have
00:22:38.060
been, could have been, uh, so we had to make ours and I went to the range and I, I seems
00:22:49.040
It seems like a good idea that the NRA would be all for.
00:22:55.900
Uh, in case you missed it, here's a little clip of it.
00:22:58.360
It's, uh, we heard from USA Today the other day about all of the dangerous things that
00:23:05.540
you can, you could just buy right off the shelf to adapt your AR rifle.
00:23:11.360
Of course, the one that everybody who's in the NRA knows is of course the AR, uh, uh,
00:23:24.340
So we had to make one ourself and, you know, I don't know what we've been doing this whole
00:23:32.600
Because, you know, there's really no reason for the chainsaw.
00:23:46.660
And there's really absolutely no way he's going to survive that.
00:23:56.300
But just to make sure, we have the chainsaw bayonet.
00:24:00.420
Now, I want you to know, yes, it is a scary looking black gun, but it's environmentally friendly.
00:24:08.480
We didn't want to put any more nasty CO2 into the atmosphere.
00:24:20.620
You get down to your victim, who is clearly already dead.
00:24:25.100
Shot him in the mouth and the eyes and in the neck.
00:24:54.940
I don't know if that's up at glenbeck.com, but you have to see that.
00:24:59.680
I mean, all those things, as scary as it is, available, you know, at your local hardware store.
00:25:06.400
Well, yeah, that's kind of an important part of that.
00:25:08.780
But you do need very dangerous weapons to defend yourselves against the scary things in our environment.
00:25:14.280
I am working on something new, and I am going to, I hope to, unveil it at the M1 Ball this Saturday.
00:25:32.480
And I can agree that if you get this thing done, it's going to be the most devastating attachment to it.
00:25:36.560
I don't know if I'll have it ready, but I hope to unveil it at the M1 Ball.
00:25:41.700
And then that way, I'll be able to take my competition out for the armadillo race, who I believe has to be cheating.
00:25:56.540
So we're doing an armadillo race, which, by the way, they are carriers of leprosy.
00:26:12.360
But you can bet on us, and all the proceeds go for charity.
00:26:17.700
And for some reason, Jeffy is creaming all of us.
00:26:29.000
Now, Jeffy, of course, was hosting the Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson this morning.
00:26:36.100
I was building for Doc the last couple of days.
00:26:40.740
I got chewing the fat on the Pat Gray Unleashed program.
00:27:04.860
A listener wrote in, Glenn and Stu, you should know, did I tell you that I felt really, really
00:27:12.700
bad that I broke the boot off of the armadillo the other day?
00:27:30.120
Because, you know, it was the big prize for the armadillo race.
00:27:34.520
I mean, the race of financial, that's just another race.
00:27:37.960
That's a race that I'm going to get hands down.
00:27:45.420
So anyway, it says, just an FYI, Jeffy broke the armadillo leg.
00:28:06.180
You let Glenn suffer on national radio television.
00:28:09.920
I was in the other room going, Mercury One, do not come over to Glenn Beck.
00:28:16.000
I asked her later that day if she had come over and told you that it was already broken.
00:28:25.500
Because I'm in second to last place and Glenn's in third to last place.
00:28:36.200
Did you take a bite out of it or what happened?
00:28:41.080
I heard that if you fry them up, Adelo can get those up right off the road.
00:28:51.400
No, the people are kind enough to have me in front, defeating you people, you other people.
00:29:16.020
Mercuryone.org slash armadillo is how you can get there.
00:29:25.580
And so when you do that, when you donate something, you can select who it will benefit on the
00:29:45.060
I mean, a vote for Jeffy is a vote for leprosy.
00:29:49.760
You hang around him too much and your fingers start to fall off.
00:30:12.780
I thought it was classy that you owned up to it, too.
00:30:16.740
You didn't just go, oh, crap, and stick the boot back on.
00:30:34.520
By the way, last night I finished three paintings.
00:30:39.440
I kind of want to sell them as a set, but I don't think anybody's going to buy them as a set.
00:30:44.720
The three people that are the defenders of freedom, the three people that were really responsible for bringing down the Berlin Wall, one is Ronald Reagan, one is Pope John Paul, and the third is, I think, Meryl Streep.
00:31:04.960
Did you have a review here, Jeffy, on some of the artwork?
00:31:19.740
I mean, I know your name's on them, but I'm actually saying you did them.
00:31:53.120
Pope John Paul, Margaret Thatcher, pretty easy.
00:31:57.000
But, I mean, it doesn't look like the Cowardly Lion, does it?
00:32:01.180
If you look at the fur around his mouth, the white part is fur.
00:32:07.980
It does look like a big mustache thing happening.
00:32:15.380
I mean, you know, Glenn, he's the 100th most important person in the world of art.
00:32:24.080
I think these will be posted up on their auction site, and then they will go for the live auction.
00:32:30.460
But I think you can bid on them online as well.
00:32:36.040
They're not up there yet, but they will be, I think, tomorrow or something, at mercuryone.org slash m1ball.
00:32:56.400
I don't want to, but, you know, it's for charity, so whatever they want to do.
00:33:00.600
And you go to mercuryone.org slash ronaldreaganisacoward if you want to look at Glenn's latest artwork.
00:33:10.480

We have some really important news on another breakthrough for society, which I think is really, really good.
00:35:27.580
A man named Jadu says that he is Filipino, except he was born white in Florida, and his name is Adam.
00:35:37.800
But he makes a good case here, and I want you to hear this.
00:35:41.900
Whenever, you know, I'm around, whenever I'm around the music, I'm around the food, I feel like I'm in my own skin.
00:35:47.360
I'd watch the History Channel sometimes for hours, you know, whenever, whenever it came to that.
00:35:58.020
I just want to stop here and say, we are doomed.
00:36:11.900
Whenever, you know, I'm around, whenever I'm around the music, I'm around the food, I feel like I'm in my own skin.
00:36:17.840
I'd watch the History Channel sometimes for hours, you know, whenever, whenever it came to that.
00:36:22.400
And, you know, nothing else intrigued me more but, you know, things about, you know, Filipino culture.
00:36:27.900
I think if you're unhappy with who you are and you change yourself for the better and that makes you happy, you know, go for it.
00:36:33.680
But it's, I, I would never say it was a privilege to, you know, be unhappy with yourself all the time.
00:36:40.480
Well, the funny thing is, is, you know, I had to make sure that it wasn't just me because if it's just me, then there must be something wrong or maybe I'm just, maybe I'm just strange.
00:36:50.800
So, you know, I created the group in hopes of, you know, getting our message out in a bottle and people started to join.
00:36:58.680
People started to message me about, you know, their conflictions with themselves.
00:37:02.540
My family knows about my transsexuality, but they don't know anything about this.
00:37:06.260
It's just, my mom is kind of an older world person.
00:37:12.440
I knew if I could find others, it wasn't just me because if it was just me, then there must be something wrong with me.
00:37:19.780
No, have you ever thought that there's another option?
00:37:22.400
There's something wrong with you and a few other people.
00:37:27.420
Just because you could find somebody else that's like, you know what?
00:37:30.220
I know you're white, but I believe you're Filipino because I'm white and I believe I'm Chinese.
00:37:34.440
Please, that doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with you.
00:37:42.780
Pimento cheeseburgers with sweet potato oven fries, roasted pork and cheesy mashed potatoes, butternut squash pasta.

00:38:55.180
Bernie Sanders was going out to recycle his cans and a neighbor attacked him last night and broke both of his legs.
00:39:08.380
Now, if I told you that story and it was true, that would be pretty outrageous, right?
00:39:12.800
It would probably be the biggest thing that has happened.
00:39:16.220
If I told you that Elizabeth Warren's arm was pulled out of her socket by an angry neighbor when she went to pick up her, you know, Amazon Prime box of custom presidential buttons, everyone would be really upset, outraged.
00:39:37.080
No person should be viciously assaulted by another person.
00:39:40.580
And at that point, your political opinions don't mean anything.
00:39:45.800
But speaking of political views, you could just imagine how crazy the left would be over one of their own being treated so badly.
00:39:58.540
And calling for immediate criminal prosecution if it was happening to one of theirs, right?
00:40:04.580
Why is it we hear crickets when it comes to Rand Paul's attack?
00:40:09.500
In his first interview, since he was assaulted by his neighbor, Rand struggled to speak.
00:40:18.780
Despite his injuries, he tried to explain that there was still no motive that he could imagine.
00:40:25.900
Rand said this was his first encounter with this neighbor when he was attacked.
00:40:34.460
Now, there had been this ridiculous story that his neighbor attacked the senator because of grass clippings.
00:40:39.940
And then it came out that he had vitriolic feelings for the Republicans and he was very anti-Trump.
00:40:48.780
Now, Rand does have a record of siding with Trump, but he is no means the president's cheerleader.
00:40:54.720
There was also talk about the, you know, yard maintenance and a property line.
00:41:00.400
But all of the neighbors have debunked that as a false narrative.
00:41:14.460
Rand's neighbor who was charged with fourth degree assault.
00:41:27.700
Isn't it time we all find some common ground and say it doesn't matter if it's Bernie Sanders or Rand Paul?
00:41:36.240
We have to make sure the attacker knows that his behavior is not acceptable,
00:41:56.560
I have been really trying to bone up on the future and reading a lot of science lately.
00:42:10.840
And I'll share some of that with you in the in the coming weeks.
00:42:14.860
But I firmly believe that as if when I told you in 2005 that America, you're going to wake up and you're not even going to recognize your country.
00:42:28.340
I think people are like, I don't even understand this world that I'm living in.
00:42:31.560
You take that feeling and, you know, you double that, triple that.
00:42:43.240
Life will be completely different on planet Earth, not just the country, but all life.
00:42:49.540
The way we interact with each other, the way we move everything, medicine.
00:42:54.120
I think we are 15 years away from from curing cancer and muscular dystrophy.
00:43:00.960
There's some bright days on the horizon, but it is going to cause a lot of turmoil, especially if you're not prepared for it.
00:43:10.000
So I was reading an article from Auto News, and it came from Bob Lutz.
00:43:26.300
Retired as vice chairman of General Motors, 47 year career in the global automotive industry,
00:43:33.000
senior leadership positions for four of the world's leading automakers.
00:43:37.540
He was the former vice chairman and head of development at General Motors.
00:43:43.800
His resume is quite long and extensive, but I would rather have you just listen to him.
00:43:50.840
Bob Lutz is joining us now to talk about the future of the auto industry and the automobile.
00:44:02.320
I'm great. I'm honored that you would come on the program.
00:44:05.760
You you wrote an amazing story called Kiss the Good Times Goodbye, where you are you're talking about how everything is going to change.
00:44:18.740
And you say the automobile is a thing of the past.
00:44:22.380
Yeah. And I said, you know, in that article, I said in 20 years, and if some people are taking issue with that piece, nobody is taking issue with the future, as I outlined it.
00:44:36.860
Everybody says, yeah, we accept that. That's the way it's going to be.
00:44:40.100
I think a lot of people have trouble with my statement saying it's going to be in 20 years.
00:44:46.080
And, you know, as I look at it in retrospect, I think, yeah, maybe that is a little overly pessimistic, because, first of all, what I didn't say in the article is that the move to fully autonomous modules that are not controlled by humans will occur in stages.
00:45:07.400
And that's what one or two of the critics of my article have pointed out.
00:45:11.380
And they're quite right. It'll begin first in the urban centers where human driven cars will will be banned.
00:45:20.240
But in the outlying areas, in the rural countryside, et cetera, et cetera, it'll take longer.
00:45:26.320
And the whole thing may take instead of 20 years, it may take 30.
00:45:30.240
So, Bob, you know, that is the one thing that I found in your article, because I thought everything was spot on, except you were talking about fully autonomous vehicles.
00:45:43.180
And the problem we have now is the middle of the country is unmapped and the middle of the country changes so often because we're building and growing, et cetera, et cetera, that it is going to it's going to take a long time just to be able just to map the entire country.
00:46:06.740
No, I don't think the mapping is going to be a problem because, for instance, one of the one of the big mapping companies, a company called Usher, and I have to disclose that I'm a board member.
00:46:21.020
But they have ways now of putting mapping devices on fleet vehicles, you know, big fleets like FedEx, UPS, and so forth, so that mapping will be a continuous thing.
00:46:36.700
And, yeah, and that's another reason why it will probably go in stages.
00:46:43.300
But I'll tell you what, the metro areas are thoroughly mapped, and that's where the problem is with human driven vehicles.
00:46:51.020
There's been places like L.A. and Chicago and so forth where you just there's so much national productivity lost sitting in traffic, not to mention accidents, students, distracted driving, texting, intoxication, and so forth.
00:47:09.040
So, Bob, can you take us back to the beginning of this?
00:47:13.700
Because there are several things that are going to change life dramatically.
00:47:20.720
And coming from, you know, a former chair of General Motors, it really carries a lot of weight.
00:47:27.980
Because you say these are not cars as we know it.
00:47:32.300
In fact, performance will be a thing of the past.
00:47:35.380
Do you think that it could wipe out BMW and, you know, Ferrari, et cetera, et cetera, as we know it?
00:47:44.440
Is General Motors, are they going to be making these pods, or do you see them made by Google?
00:47:51.960
Well, I don't think Google knows how to manufacture.
00:47:58.680
But somebody else will be, they'll be the transportation, the enablers, the transportation providers.
00:48:05.080
But the so-called modules will be made by companies that know how to do that at low cost.
00:48:12.040
And that'll be the global automobile companies.
00:48:14.260
Except what's going to be gone is the whole brand value of automobiles.
00:48:25.080
That's all going to be gone because these driverless or control-less autonomous modules,
00:48:33.460
which of necessity have to be all pretty much the same shape,
00:48:37.140
they're going to be manufactured to the low bidder.
00:48:44.280
And the bids are going to be placed by the big transportation companies.
00:48:47.780
And I fully expect that Uber and Lyft and so forth and other companies,
00:48:53.240
Maven, will be among the big fleets who are the value providers.
00:48:58.160
But General Motors gets it because General Motors owns a piece of Lyft, owns Maven, and so forth.
00:49:08.820
So General Motors is a company that understands that capturing the value is no longer going to be in the sale of the car.
00:49:16.620
Capturing the value is going to be providing the downstream transportation service.
00:49:22.300
So I've always been impressed, Bob, by the history of General Motors.
00:49:27.940
You know, Ford gets all the credit for the assembly line,
00:49:34.160
but it was actually the former chairman of Chevy that was working for Henry Ford
00:49:42.140
that actually put it together in a workable way.
00:49:49.680
And when they saw the assembly line finally work, they said,
00:49:53.820
OK, we've got to get out of the horse and buggy business, and we're going to make automobiles.
00:50:00.260
You see them on the cutting edge of transforming a second time?
00:50:06.400
I think General Motors has a bigger reservoir of highly skilled people
00:50:15.180
than any other automobile company on the planet.
00:50:18.120
But sometimes, you know, the so-called bean counters, as I like to call them,
00:50:25.180
tend to inhibit creativity in the interest of short-term profitability.
00:50:31.880
So every large company goes through those phases.
00:50:34.680
But I will tell you, when it comes to technological capability and just basic smarts,
00:50:43.900
I don't think there's any match for General Motors out there.
00:50:51.480
Because right now, people are trying to get their arms around Tesla, which, you know,
00:50:59.560
But you're still looking at a Tesla that looks like a car and everything else.
00:51:09.360
Well, first of all, just a word on the Tesla system.
00:51:12.840
The Tesla system relies on sensors, is not very autonomous.
00:51:18.920
It requires the driver's hand to be on the wheel at all times, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:51:23.340
Whereas Cadillac Super Cruise will now take you from Chicago to New York or L.A. to San Francisco
00:51:36.800
So on vehicle autonomy, General Motors is ahead, too.
00:51:51.240
The reason why some companies seem to be a little slower
00:51:55.140
is that they understand the value of embedded, digital, super-precise,
00:52:08.900
They're using a lot of eyes and ears in the car.
00:52:12.060
Whereas the GM approach is to put in, is to do this super-precise mapping
00:52:21.820
the car could actually get from Detroit to Chicago without any sensors
00:52:26.560
because the car knows so precisely down to four inches where it is at all times.
00:52:32.080
The only thing you need the sensors for is other objects.
00:52:44.740
It's got to see trees in addition to objects that are in the road.
00:52:49.300
If you have a sufficiently accurate embedded map,
00:52:52.380
all you need is sensors to tell you, like for a blind person,
00:52:56.720
he's got to know that the dog is lying in his path.
00:53:00.100
So the Tesla will see a pothole, but the GM will not see a pothole?
00:53:06.700
No, no, he will see it also because it'll be in the map.
00:53:15.740
When they do freeway, they do every lane separately on a freeway.
00:53:23.740
Okay, so Bob, we haven't even begun to scratch the surface.
00:53:27.540
I need to take a quick break and then we'll come back with Bob Lutz,
00:53:31.640
author of Icons and Idiots, Straight Talk on Leadership, in just a second.
00:53:40.420
All right, the one thing that I think would really help you
00:53:52.440
if you are going in to buy a home or you're going to refinance
00:53:55.720
is to realize that the mortgage company is working for the banks.
00:54:01.560
They're getting paid by the banks to sell you what they call a loan instrument.
00:54:11.520
They're selling it to you and they're making a ton of money on it.
00:54:15.280
And so usually are the brokers, the mortgage brokers,
00:54:18.580
they're getting a bonus if they sell you the instrument that the bank is pushing.
00:54:24.560
This is why a salary-based mortgage expert is really, really critical for you
00:54:30.040
to make sure that you get the financing that you need and is right for your family.
00:54:35.000
And that's what you'll find at American Financing.
00:54:36.760
With American Financing, straightforward and effortless mortgage experience
00:54:40.440
can be had now at American Financing by calling 800-906-2440.
00:54:49.160
If you are going to buy a new home, you haven't done the VA loan,
00:54:53.600
or you want to refinance, there's never a better time to refinance than right now.
00:55:02.880
American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
00:55:21.980
Former Vice Chairman and Head of Development at General Motors, Bob Lutz,
00:55:32.100
The end state will be a fully autonomous module with no capability for the driver to exercise command.
00:55:40.560
You get in, input your destination, and go on the freeway.
00:55:43.400
On the freeway, it will merge seamlessly into a stream of other modules traveling at 120 to 150 miles an hour.
00:55:51.100
Bob, why is the average person hearing this kind of stuff, and they're not keeping up with technology,
00:56:01.900
what makes this different than the prediction of flying cars?
00:56:08.580
Well, flying cars, you wind up with either a lousy airplane or a lousy automobile,
00:56:15.960
but it's very hard to ever get flying cars right.
00:56:20.400
And by the way, as I never tire of saying, and I remind my automotive friends of this,
00:56:26.440
vehicle autonomy is actually easier to, full vehicle autonomy is easier to attain in the 3D space
00:56:37.040
If you have, like, an autonomous helicopter taxi service that connects the inner city to the airport
00:56:43.920
and just shuttles back and forth, that, from a technological and software and control standpoint to solve,
00:56:51.920
is far easier, far easier than doing it on a surface roadway.
00:56:56.880
So, yeah, there will be a lot of flying modules that operate in three-dimensional space,
00:57:05.340
probably from ground level up to about 1,000 feet,
00:57:08.620
so that they don't interfere with regular air traffic and can stay outside the FAA system.
00:57:14.700
So, no, your comment was a very, very astute one.
00:57:23.120
There are people that I think the vast majority of Americans can't get their arms around
00:57:31.600
how different life will be by 2030, including their jobs.
00:57:41.960
Well, a friend of mine was with IBM Advanced Systems Development Division in the 60s,
00:57:49.100
and they forecast that by the year 2000, you know, they were off in their timing,
00:57:54.360
we would have a largely cybernated society with machines producing machines,
00:58:01.840
machines designing machines, machines maintaining machines,
00:58:05.580
and a lot of the wealth in the world being created basically fully automatically without human intervention.
00:58:18.320
And even IBM in the mid-60s postulated that what we were going to have to do is so much wealth is being produced
00:58:27.380
by so little human input that we would evolve a system where people essentially get a guaranteed annual salary
00:58:36.860
just to do nothing, which would enable them to open a little cobbler store or a local bakery
00:58:44.280
or start making violins again, all things that have disappeared.
00:58:52.020
I mean, medicine can largely be replaced by technology.
00:58:58.840
I want to pick it up right there and how life is changing and what it means to the average person.
00:59:24.420
He is the former vice chairman and head of development at General Motors
00:59:29.520
who wrote an awesome article that you really need to read,
00:59:35.440
Everyone will have five years to get their car off the road or sell it for scrap in the future.
00:59:41.960
He says that we are not going to be driving our cars
00:59:45.000
and our cars are not going to look anything like they look now.
00:59:55.600
And, Bob, talk to me a little bit about what has to change in the mindset of Americans.
01:00:00.280
I mean, you know, Americans have always loved their car.
01:00:08.120
And we also, you know, we're a performance nation.
01:00:12.480
I mean, you know, the new Dodge Demon, 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds, 850 horsepower.
01:00:21.220
Well, I like it too, but it's unfortunately increasingly incompatible with the prime reason we have cars.
01:00:32.320
The others are just social psychological reasons.
01:00:35.480
They're kind of side benefits of vehicle ownership.
01:00:39.020
The primary purpose of cars, of course, is surface efficient, safe surface transportation.
01:00:45.580
And sad to say, the automobile, as we know it today, is increasingly failing in those areas
01:00:51.920
because we have so much congestion and because people, you know, they're not all enthusiastic drivers.
01:00:59.420
A lot of them like to text, take drugs, drink, watch TV on their smartphones,
01:01:07.740
or engage in other risky behavior that has nothing to do with the safe option.
01:01:12.480
So I can see us regulate it out, you know, that in 20 years you can't drive.
01:01:20.480
You know, I don't believe my kids who are young, you know, 11 and 13,
01:01:26.100
are going to be driving very long in their life just because of Uber, et cetera, et cetera.
01:01:36.440
But what I can't get around is how the average American says, I don't want a car anymore,
01:01:46.000
But a bigger stumbling block is people like General Motors.
01:01:56.720
And there's nothing to be said that the automobile companies cannot lend to the big fleets like Uber and Lyft,
01:02:07.760
So, you know, I fully expect to see the smart car companies survive,
01:02:17.320
Who do you think survives and who doesn't survive?
01:02:24.100
Well, I would say the big companies that can produce efficiently and produce high quality at low cost
01:02:31.400
and basically produce an unbranded product that'll be branded Lyft or Uber or Maven or whatever,
01:02:41.520
It'll be tougher for the small specialty companies that have sold on image.
01:02:49.060
Give me an example, because when you're talking to General Motors,
01:02:55.900
Well, I think specialty manufacturers like Maserati, maybe even BMW or Mercedes,
01:03:04.080
which are, you have to ask yourself, do those companies add any value in the basic transportation function
01:03:12.160
or do they sell because of a whole series of social beliefs and aura that's attached to the brand,
01:03:23.320
an aura of superiority that's attached to German origin and so forth?
01:03:27.480
Well, when all these things are branded Uber and Lyft and whatever, a brand isn't going to matter.
01:03:32.800
But there is a difference between getting into a Dodge and getting into a Mercedes.
01:03:41.340
It does, even if you strip it of all of its symbols, there is a difference in the quality of the vehicle, is there not?
01:03:49.640
Well, in terms of, yeah, maybe the materials are a little nicer and the seat fabric is a little nicer,
01:03:56.440
but at the end of the day, in terms of performing the transportation function,
01:04:01.900
that's basically the primal reason we have automobiles for it,
01:04:07.160
is human, efficient, rapid, safe, human surface transportation in two dimensions.
01:04:15.160
And, you know, in major urban areas, the automobile as we have it today,
01:04:19.640
not so much the car, but the people that are operating it, and it's an integral part of the equation,
01:04:29.200
And autonomous modules that are short, not driver-controlled, do not depend on human reaction,
01:04:35.860
where the person in front of you at a traffic light takes four seconds to wake up,
01:04:44.300
And we'll save enormous amounts of productive time for the whole economy.
01:04:49.720
So you say that, just like horses aren't used anymore, but rich people have racehorses,
01:04:56.240
you say that the Ferraris and et cetera, et cetera, will be had by the uber-rich,
01:05:07.320
Well, no, but there are, first of all, I didn't say racehorses.
01:05:10.300
I said, you have to use the analogy of horses in general,
01:05:14.720
so that there will be off-road dude ranches for four-by-fours.
01:05:19.420
There will be privately owned tracks where you can drive any car.
01:05:25.700
Some of these might be public, like public golf courses,
01:05:28.560
where you have to demonstrate that you can drive,
01:05:31.240
and if you can drive, you can buy an hour or two on the track.
01:05:40.900
It's just not going to continue to exist on public roads.
01:05:45.420
And these places are cropping up all over the United States already.
01:05:51.640
There's one in Michigan in Pontiac called M1 Concourse.
01:05:57.800
One in New York called Monticello and so forth.
01:06:01.520
And you basically buy, it's like a country club.
01:06:05.840
You pay an initiation fee, and then you pay your dues membership,
01:06:09.500
and you can actually leave your cars out there.
01:06:12.860
And there will be manufacturers that continue to cater to that market.
01:06:18.980
And the nice thing about those cars is they'll be totally regulation-free.
01:06:27.600
the feds and the local states have no jurisdiction over them.
01:06:31.520
So, Bob, as I look into basically what IBM said would happen by the year 2000,
01:06:44.740
And as I see the rate of change that is coming,
01:06:49.040
the best thing we can teach our children is that change is constant.
01:06:53.100
And to not cement their thinking into anything,
01:06:57.120
to always be looking for new things and experiencing new things.
01:07:07.900
the liberal establishment is teaching exactly the opposite.
01:07:12.120
I mean, every time some species happens to fade away out of the ocean or the rivers,
01:07:32.380
And the same thing is true for society and technological progress.
01:07:36.160
So, you know, I've been asked to describe automotive transportation 150 years from now.
01:07:48.280
So, Bob, so what if you are somebody who is working in anything that involves an automobile now,
01:08:00.520
How can you prepare if that is your livelihood?
01:08:07.860
What should we be teaching our kids now to prepare them for a different America?
01:08:16.340
You've got to teach people that change is a constant or, other than death and taxes,
01:08:28.920
As far as if you're working in the automotive or automotive-related industry,
01:08:32.520
keep your nose to the grindstone, learn as much as you can about autonomy, be prepared for change.
01:08:41.680
But, you know, this is going to be a gradual transition.
01:08:44.800
So, most of the people working in the industry today will live out their careers in the automotive industry.
01:08:52.720
It's not like it's all going to happen in five years.
01:08:54.980
But, as we were saying earlier, happen it will.
01:09:03.380
When it comes to teaching our kids what's important,
01:09:06.260
you have to teach them about the inevitability of change.
01:09:14.900
And thank you so much for all of the work that you do with the Marines and our servicemen and women.
01:09:25.540
I'm surprised you know about my Marine Corps service.
01:09:34.380
God bless you, Bob Lutz, former vice chairman of General Motors and head of development at General Motors.
01:09:45.060
I mean, the vision of that future, you think of all the things that would need to change.
01:09:49.080
I mean, you know, we've been talking about a trillion-dollar stimulus bill over the past year or so in Washington.
01:09:56.920
How differently should that money be spent if it were to be spent?
01:10:01.340
When thinking about a future like that, and I can't imagine that Washington has a handle on this.
01:10:07.200
You talk to people in Washington now, they wouldn't even understand what he's saying.
01:10:11.400
And I believe he's too pessimistic on the timeline.
01:10:17.740
I don't think, I think, no, I think 15 years is right on the money.
01:10:22.340
And it may be changing, you know, he might be, I may be wrong on, you know, the banning of cars.
01:10:32.080
But we will, by 2030, we will be talking about that seriously.
01:10:37.240
And I don't know when the technology really cements itself.
01:10:42.260
But by 2030, you won't recognize, you will not recognize your life.
01:10:49.580
Well, as you think of how this stuff happens, the iPhone was released 10 years ago.
01:10:53.940
I mean, think of how different the world is because of that invention and others like it.
01:10:59.220
And I think a lot of people look at that stuff and they think, ah, it's so far in the future.
01:11:06.000
And Bob outlines it really well in his article.
01:11:14.480
All these companies are going to buy these things in the hundreds of thousands.
01:11:19.500
And they have so much power and so much influence that over time, it's going to change not only the market.
01:11:27.780
Why are companies going to keep building these things for individuals when they can sell hundreds of thousands to large companies?
01:11:33.920
These companies are already huge donors, huge lobbyists.
01:11:42.300
And as this stuff happens and they're the ones manufacturing those cars, it's going to move fast.
01:11:46.140
And you also see, if you look at any of the trends of millennials, they're not buying cars.
01:11:53.440
When I was a kid and I turned 16, I mean, I was dreaming about my first car.
01:12:02.420
And they're looking at cars and saying, why would I carry that load?
01:12:06.360
Why would I want one, especially in bigger cities when I could Uber?
01:12:14.300
But it will eventually it'll eventually hit everywhere.
01:12:27.860
Shopping online has its pluses, but it also comes with some risks with the holidays approaching.
01:12:41.960
That's why I've been on such a strict diet lately.
01:12:44.100
Making sure that I don't because I know I may indulge a little on Thanksgiving.
01:12:49.860
Yeah, it's been it's been a real rough road and, you know, but I take it.
01:12:54.800
You sacrifice a lot of eating to look like that.
01:13:08.120
Black Friday is next Friday, a week from this coming Friday.
01:13:11.200
If you're shopping online, your identity and your financial status may not be safe.
01:13:18.000
The information that you are giving over the Internet is is pretty intense.
01:13:26.220
Shop on sites with secure payment methods like credit cards or gift cards.
01:13:43.180
But there's a ton of stuff that just, you know, you can't you can't block.
01:13:48.000
Identity fraud will cost Americans 16 billion dollars.
01:13:55.300
And if you're only monitoring your credit card, your identity can be stolen and you don't even know it.
01:14:01.980
They use proprietary technology to help detect a wide range of identity theft.
01:14:06.180
And if they detect any kind of your information being used or stolen or compromised in any way, they send you alert.
01:14:12.240
And then they have somebody there on staff here in America that contacts you and works to fix it.
01:14:21.020
You know, nobody can watch all transactions at all businesses or stop identity theft entirely.
01:14:30.400
Before you do any holiday shopping, get LifeLock.
01:14:36.040
That's BECK and you'll get 10% off your LifeLock membership.
01:15:06.400
I hesitate to say this because this is like Elvis for me.
01:15:16.440
And I found out this guy just played Wembley, was it Wembley Stadium?
01:15:22.740
I mean, I would have saved, I would have saved and saved and saved to be able to see him.
01:15:26.240
And I thought, he's never going to perform again.
01:15:29.080
ELO just announced that they're doing a 10-city American tour and the tickets go on sale Friday.
01:15:35.640
Do not even think about getting ahead of me on tickets.
01:15:43.720
If you're my age, Jeff Lind and ELO, and they haven't done stuff,
01:15:49.360
I think this is the first time they've done anything in 30 years here.
01:15:54.480
Sure, on another channel, you might be hearing about Taylor Swift's new tour.
01:16:03.720
Back in a second with a look at Roy Moore from a different perspective.
01:16:31.360
GQ Magazine has just named their Citizen of the Year.
01:16:37.360
When I say Citizen of the Year, you immediately think?
01:16:44.000
You know, it kind of makes you wonder what exactly their selection criteria is.
01:16:49.780
You know, some might have a hard time seeing this one.
01:16:52.460
So let's just take a quick rundown on memory lane here.
01:16:56.620
Back in 2013, Kaepernick was one of the best players in football.
01:17:00.860
A true Citizen of the Year, you know, would have begun his activism when he was on top.
01:17:06.760
But Colin mysteriously was quiet during this time.
01:17:18.900
But activism, no, no, it didn't have time for that.
01:17:24.620
Now, Kaepernick's meteoric NFL rise was rivaled only by his fall.
01:17:30.000
And as his play declined and the magazine covers dried up, suddenly he appeared very, very interested on oppression.
01:17:38.840
Colin, you know, didn't have to move far to, you know, begin his taking a knee position.
01:17:46.520
I mean, because, you know, he was sitting right there on the bench.
01:17:49.180
It was just a real quick trip right to the ground.
01:17:52.020
But GQ apparently didn't find this suspicious that when he was on top, he was doing naked magazine stuff.
01:18:01.180
And then when he was at the bottom and nobody wanted to talk to him, suddenly he found things that were just too horrible.
01:18:10.140
They elevated him to the level yesterday in GQ of Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson.
01:18:19.400
Forget the fact that he was never interested in speaking out until it became convenient for him to do so.
01:18:26.640
And when it stopped being convenient, as his prospects in the NFL ran out, he went silent for an entire year to try to get his job back.
01:18:37.740
So let me just recap Colin Kaepernick's Citizen of the Year campaign.
01:18:44.540
The winner of GQ's award went to a man that began a misguided cause for selfish reasons and then who abandoned that misguided cause again for selfish reasons.
01:18:55.920
Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the fact that he glorifies Che Guevara, a mass murderer.
01:19:03.020
And he even has admitted that he doesn't even vote.
01:19:08.360
This qualifies him to be the citizen of the year?
01:19:16.960
How many people can you just now just off the top of your head that might deserve that a little just real quick?
01:19:24.500
He raised over $37 million to help victims of Hurricane Harvey.
01:19:44.400
He was the guy, the private citizen, that exercised his rights, the Second Amendment,
01:19:55.440
He was just a guy who ran out of the house, grabbed his gun because his neighbors were being shot to death.
01:20:08.740
How about the police that took down the New York City truck terrorist or the Green Berets that died fighting terrorists in Niger?
01:20:16.920
Or Colette Sulcer, the woman who sacrificed her own life to save her infant daughter from the waters of Hurricane Harvey?
01:20:33.800
Those are examples of heroes committing uncommon acts of selfishness, selflessness, in the same way that Jackie Robinson did,
01:21:16.580
A columnist, a podcast host, and a really smart guy
01:21:22.220
who you're going to find yourself disagreeing with from time to time, as it should be.
01:21:33.420
That was a tremendous commentary on Colin Kaepernick, by the way.
01:21:38.020
Especially for a guy who doesn't know football.
01:21:39.580
I'm guessing Stu might have helped you with the football stuff.
01:21:41.800
Well, he might have helped me with the football stuff.
01:21:43.720
I saw Colin Kaepernick yesterday, and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
01:21:55.540
We have in the studio, you'll get a kick out of this.
01:22:02.660
We have a jacket that is a, like an army jacket, and it has, they have taken,
01:22:23.540
We try, they tried to bury us, but they did not know we were seeds.
01:22:28.580
The bombing for peace is like F-ing for virginity.
01:22:35.620
My favorite is, I am valuable, I am powerful, I am deserving.
01:22:42.640
They're selling this jacket at Barney's in New York for $400.
01:22:53.500
I mean, this is, and by the way, here's a Molotov cocktail
01:22:57.660
while you're going around the store, and you just throw it through any window.
01:23:11.980
I'm finding myself in this position where, as Stu said today,
01:23:15.740
I am both the biggest defender and the biggest critic of Roy Moore,
01:23:22.960
apparently online, because I believe the accusers,
01:23:29.900
but I'm also very cautious here, because this can turn into a witch hunt.
01:23:44.900
And I think that the Roy Moore situation has caused a real problem for those of us
01:23:50.740
who believe in things like precedence and not causing a situation where we're setting new rules
01:23:58.200
that are going to come back to haunt us in the future.
01:24:00.900
I think that, and I'm somebody who does not like Roy Moore.
01:24:08.720
but I also know that the standards that are being used to evaluate those accusers are very different
01:24:15.280
than they were, for instance, with Bill Clinton.
01:24:19.140
And I think we're seeing this in almost all of these instances of sex abuse hysteria,
01:24:27.800
which has now taken over the culture since Harvey Weinstein,
01:24:33.060
I mean, the New York Daily News over the weekend had 11 guys on the front page of their newspaper,
01:24:39.600
not one of whom has ever been sued publicly or charged with a crime, you know,
01:24:47.720
And with regard to Moore specifically, to me, I think that where I differ with regard to the mob yesterday
01:24:54.160
is, you know, take a look at that yearbook inscription,
01:24:57.960
which I fully acknowledge is weird and creepy for a guy much older than the girl was at the time.
01:25:04.660
I mean, have you ever signed outside of high school, John?
01:25:12.220
There seems to be a lot of them floating around with his signature in it, which is weird.
01:25:16.820
And look, and I think that it absolutely goes to the idea that this guy had a thing for young girls.
01:25:28.980
And to me, the idea that a very friendly, perhaps overly friendly, yearbook inscription 40 years later
01:25:37.960
can be used, as it was being used yesterday, as proof of an assault 40 years later?
01:25:45.480
That should scare the living daylights out of anybody, because we are setting rules up now
01:25:51.560
where it is exceedingly easy, exceedingly easy to destroy somebody based upon a false story.
01:26:00.420
This is the part the media will never accept, because it's way too politically incorrect.
01:26:05.260
But one of the things that has happened to our culture,
01:26:08.000
and I'm not saying this has anything to do with Roy Moore, okay?
01:26:11.160
But there's no question that in our culture over the last generation, being a victim no
01:26:19.360
In fact, for many people, being a victim is something to champion, that you can embrace
01:26:26.660
And you can get paid a heck of a lot of money now in our culture under the right circumstances
01:26:31.980
And so the pendulum has swung so much, understandably so.
01:26:37.620
Look, there was a time when no one wanted to come forward and tell these stories, and it
01:26:43.560
But in an effort to try to correct that, we have gone so far in the other direction.
01:26:48.760
And now the media is publishing major news outlets, or publishing allegations, not just
01:26:54.960
against Roy Moore, but against minor celebrities from 30 years ago, based upon nothing but somebody's
01:27:01.960
word when they haven't been charged with a crime.
01:27:06.220
And to me, whenever the news media is involved in a firestorm that involves emotional hysteria,
01:27:13.120
their completion percentage is way worse than Colin Kaepernick.
01:27:19.340
So, John, can we just go through this for a second?
01:27:23.100
Because, for instance, George Takai, I don't like this guy at all.
01:27:30.600
However, I heard, you know, the one story and thought, okay, this is not cool.
01:27:44.540
And then I heard him on, you know, I heard the tape of him on Howard Stern, and I'm like,
01:27:49.480
well, he's kind of admitting that that's what he did.
01:27:52.680
And so I don't know out of all of them, I tend to believe the people unless there was
01:28:07.400
If there's a personal relationship with somebody, then I generally don't.
01:28:16.000
I don't want to defend, but I don't want to condemn.
01:28:18.480
Um, look, I'm actually somewhat similar to where you are, but I want to take this out
01:28:22.780
of the theoretical and put it into the practical, you know, especially for someone like you,
01:28:27.060
Glenn, because none of the stories that have been prominently reported to me make my BS
01:28:31.580
detector, which is pretty finely tuned, go off.
01:28:36.080
That doesn't, but I'm just saying that none of them are like, wait a minute, there's
01:28:39.820
But, but think about the rules that we're now creating with George Takai being a pretty good
01:28:44.540
I mean, what relevance is George Takai in our culture today?
01:28:48.780
He doesn't run a business, but, but let's take a look at these new rules and let's put
01:28:55.100
Cause I actually think that you are maybe the most vulnerable person to a false accusation
01:29:03.180
Let's go through the, let's go through the criteria now that's been created in the last
01:29:10.640
Are they not particularly beloved by the masses of the media?
01:29:19.340
Does he claim to be of a high moral character so they can accuse him of hypocrisy?
01:29:24.220
Is he in charge of hiring and firing large groups of people?
01:29:28.460
Has he recently fired a young woman known for her sex appeal?
01:29:33.180
Is he not attractive enough so that it would be widely believed that any sort of sexual
01:29:37.220
act with an attractive female would therefore have to be consensual?
01:29:44.920
I actually feel like he's guilty right now after that if you're laying it out like
01:29:48.680
Now, luckily, luckily, the blaze hasn't recently fired any attractive woman who would be seen
01:29:58.960
So, you know, that's about the only thing you have in your favor is that woman's lack of
01:30:05.380
But I think you can see where I'm going with this.
01:30:09.120
Any allegation against you would be instantly believed now.
01:30:23.000
They spent over a million dollars to try to discredit me and find something on me.
01:30:29.540
I mean, Cheryl Atkinson outlines it in her own book.
01:30:32.540
Um, and and I remember people going through my garbage.
01:30:37.180
I mean, we knew people were going through my stuff to try to find.
01:30:41.360
We knew private investigators were doing investigations on me.
01:30:57.840
And and there's not there's no way to defend yourself now because the forces of political
01:31:02.520
correctness have taken away the very few weapons that anyone would theoretically have.
01:31:08.600
Like, I mean, for instance, you know, when the Harvey Weinstein thing, I think Harvey Weinstein
01:31:12.060
is guilty of just about everything he's been accused of.
01:31:14.900
But, you know, do you remember there was this big controversy because Lisa Bloom wanted to
01:31:19.980
use photo friendly photos of him with his accusers after the fact.
01:31:24.960
Now, if you're not allowed to even use those, if that's taken off the table, if that's
01:31:28.980
verboten, if that's politically incorrect, what is somebody supposed to do?
01:31:33.440
Well, well, look at look at what happened with negative.
01:31:36.020
Look at which with Sean Hannity, what happened with Sean Hannity that I mean, that was not
01:31:40.980
He did ask him tough questions and he's being called a supporter of a child molester and they're
01:31:47.960
trying to pull his advertisement because what he let the man tell his story.
01:31:53.780
I agree that that's, and I'm no fan of Sean, as you know, but I agree that that is a very
01:31:59.860
And interestingly, you know, Bill O'Reilly called me yesterday after my column.
01:32:04.300
I haven't spoken to Bill in a decade or almost a decade.
01:32:07.540
And, you know, I've been one of those who has been very suspect of the idea that anyone
01:32:15.080
But as you know, Glenn, and I have to tell you, I mean, you're, you've been, you know,
01:32:18.700
somewhat supportive of Bill and that's made me go, wait a minute, there's got to be
01:32:21.700
something here, there's no question in my mind.
01:32:24.280
There's no question in my mind that Bill believes that he was railroaded a hundred percent.
01:32:32.180
I think he needs to explain better the $32 million.
01:32:34.520
He says he can't for legal reasons, but, you know, but my mind is now even open to that.
01:32:39.480
I mean, because that's the environment we're living in.
01:32:42.040
Things that would be impossible are actually exceedingly possible.
01:32:46.300
Well, as you guys know, my, my history on the Penn State case, which I'm still investigating
01:32:52.780
I mean, these, these things are happening on a constant basis now, and we're setting
01:32:57.640
very, very dangerous precedents and new rules that we are going to rue in very short order.
01:33:07.480
Freespeechbroadcasting.com is where my podcast is and Mediate is where my columns are.
01:33:13.040
I highly, highly recommend you listen and follow John.
01:33:17.500
He says it, he shoots right from the hip, and you may not like it sometimes, but he
01:33:29.900
It's amazing, because I look at these accusers and I say, ah, they seem pretty credible.
01:33:33.540
But I was thinking of the way that we talked about that.
01:33:42.440
These are not standards that you ruin people's lives over.
01:33:46.060
And it's, it's impossible to see how we're going to turn back from this.
01:33:50.080
Okay, so there was a, there's a story that came out.
01:33:52.700
Gold coins and bars saw demand rise 17% to 222 tons of gold.
01:34:09.820
Russia and the central banks are gobbling up gold, because when, you know, when everything
01:34:16.780
is going crazy, you might want to do your reserves.
01:34:19.760
You know, what really kills me is that America is not buying gold.
01:34:24.880
How we are not putting gold into reserve now is beyond me.
01:34:29.820
Please don't be, don't, don't be like, uh, America.
01:34:38.860
Right now, gold line is offering free gift cards on qualified purchases and one year of
01:34:45.540
And they'll give you a free American lapel pin just for calling to learn more.
01:34:50.120
This is your chance to read their important risk information.
01:34:57.000
Putting yourself on a unstable, sure footing in a world that no longer makes sense.
01:35:04.380
When that happens in the financial markets, that's when the world always, for thousands
01:35:15.880
Have your insurance policy with gold line ready.
01:35:42.120
This is, I mean, this is a geek, this a geek day for me.
01:35:47.620
ELO announced a 10 city North American tour today, which I, I, I will fly to Greenland to
01:35:55.840
Uh, and the only one, the only other person that I feel this way about is Michael Buble.
01:36:02.300
And he's just announced his first concert since his son has been sick.
01:36:08.940
Um, and it's been a while since he's performed anywhere.
01:36:28.820
Well, we might miss that one, but, uh, welcome back.
01:36:44.800
If you've missed any of the show today, you've missed a lot.
01:36:48.880
You missed Bob Lutz, uh, the former general motors executive, former, uh, vice chairman
01:36:54.180
and head of development at general motors who talks, uh, we spent an hour with him talking
01:36:59.580
about the future, what it means to the audio industry.
01:37:02.620
He says cars are over, uh, in, uh, in the next 15 to 20 years and, uh, you won't own your
01:37:10.960
own car and there won't be automakers like general motors.
01:37:14.460
And, uh, I think he said BMW and Mercedes were specialty car companies that he said they
01:37:22.060
were the smaller car companies that would probably go out of business because they're
01:37:30.800
Uh, if you missed it, go check it out at, uh, Glenn Beck.com.
01:37:36.600
The, uh, AR chainsaw video that we actually built one on Friday and I took it to the range
01:37:44.520
I mean, I want to thank USA today for the chainsaw bayonet idea, uh, but it works pretty
01:37:49.260
And you can, you can check that out, uh, at glennbeck.com as well.
01:38:01.240
Just stay your same sweet self and have a bitchin' summer.
01:38:10.000
I was over at the malt shop, uh, signing your yearbooks.
01:38:14.340
Couldn't get them all finished up before I had to come out here.
01:38:18.940
Roy was with me and, and, you know, it's a, it's a nice time.
01:38:37.060
Uh, so, yeah, since high school, the grand total is, other than today at the malt shop.
01:38:49.160
As, as, uh, John Ziegler pointed out, uh, it does not mean you are guilty of rape if
01:38:55.800
Uh, however, uh, the fact that he said he had never heard of the restaurant before.
01:39:09.060
Three words I heard, I thought of at that time.
01:39:14.400
I am not sticking up for the guy because I believe, I believe the accusers.
01:39:20.120
Um, the, but, so I'm not sticking up for him, but let me play devil's advocate here.
01:39:25.300
Uh, that a, the handwriting looks like his, we don't know if it is his, it looks like
01:39:35.120
They haven't had an expert yet to my knowledge.
01:39:46.120
And even if it is his, you know, the problem comes in saying, I don't know what old hickory
01:39:54.640
I mean, how did you forget the old hickory restaurant?
01:39:57.480
Um, but he says he doesn't know what it is, but just because he signed it, she's 16 years
01:40:29.120
I, I, it wasn't for him in the first place, but, uh, uh, you know, I, I would love to have
01:40:34.500
a conservative in the Senate, but I just don't want a guy who is, uh, you know, touching
01:40:46.380
In Washington, it's getting, it seems to be, doesn't it?
01:40:57.400
I was kind of thinking, okay, I still can't get past the timing of it.
01:41:05.180
I mean, what an amazing coincidence that all of a sudden one month before the special election,
01:41:10.480
all of this starts coming out, well, may I play 40 years, may I play devil's advocate again?
01:41:17.440
If I can play devil's advocate, um, this isn't just come out out of the blue.
01:41:23.460
This is because, uh, Harvey Weinstein, uh, came out and now all of a sudden America is saying, you know, bring out your dad, bring out your dad.
01:41:43.300
And at the same time, I could convince myself there's a reasonable doubt.
01:41:49.780
I think a good solution is, is what they're kind of talking about with sessions.
01:41:54.680
Let, you know, right, do a writing campaign with him and put him back in the Senate.
01:41:59.760
Since, since Trump's not happy with him anyway, you know, they're not getting along.
01:42:03.800
There's no way there's going to be a writing campaign.
01:42:08.720
Elect him and then let the Senate dismiss him and there'll have to be another special election.
01:42:12.940
Look, the, the, the Alabama voters have a right to be able to choose.
01:42:20.340
You know, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and, and Ted Cruz and Mike Lee can all come out and say that they don't endorse him anymore.
01:42:25.660
But it really, it's got nothing to do with them.
01:42:27.260
It's if they, the people in Alabama have to choose this.
01:42:29.640
And I just don't like the idea that they're making decisions based on these things.
01:42:34.400
It would be nice if they were just, you know, being able to vote on policy and things like that.
01:42:38.780
But I mean, this is a legit, it's not a throwaway issue if it's true.
01:42:41.500
It's not like you had somebody that was, you know, a hero that just, you know, saved, you know, saved lives at the ballpark just a few months before.
01:42:50.500
And a real conservative that has one of the best audio clips of all time when he told, when MSNBC said, well, it's not like you had that guy to choose from.
01:42:58.640
Exactly. I'm going to actually, I think I'm going to make a, something to post on the internet today of, of, don't blame me.
01:43:05.800
Because I do think that that is a, it's a frustrating part of this because it wasn't like it was establishment versus more and that was it.
01:43:12.640
You had a guy who was a real conservative that has never done anything wrong.
01:43:16.920
That was saving, he was resuscitating people at a mass shooting like two months before the election.
01:43:22.420
And they're still like, ah, no, let's take that other guy.
01:43:27.380
Well, Alabama, I mean, you know, Roy Moore is a hero in Alabama because of, I think Alabama still votes for him.
01:43:33.320
I think he has got a good chance to vote too, honestly.
01:43:35.020
Based on the people I've talked to from Alabama, this makes some of them more likely to vote for him.
01:43:40.840
Because it's kind of a, it's kind of an in your face.
01:43:49.540
Someone pointed out, I think it was on one of the news channels yesterday, that it would have probably been more likely to sink him in this campaign if it came from a local paper.
01:44:00.060
The idea that it comes from the Washington Post just feels like this out, like attack from our country, there's coming after our guy.
01:44:06.600
Did you see the reporters, the local reporters that talked about that?
01:44:09.800
They're pissed at themselves because they all said, we've known this forever.
01:44:21.280
And they've said, but nobody ever talked about it.
01:44:24.560
Everybody knew about it, so it wasn't really news.
01:44:27.420
And it took, you know, the Washington Post to come down because it was new to them.
01:44:34.320
Now, are they saying it was well-known that the guy dated young girls?
01:44:37.800
Or well-known that he did, you know, he dated 14-year-olds?
01:44:45.220
I mean, the accuser that came out yesterday accused him of more of an assault.
01:44:52.180
But the first story, and again, because it's Gloria Allred, I have no idea whether to put any stock into this person.
01:44:58.360
And, you know, it's just because she just automatically taints anything she's involved in.
01:45:08.340
It's because you just don't trust anything that comes out of coming from that camp.
01:45:13.260
She stands next to her, just like Al Sharpton, stands next to a, quote, victim.
01:45:18.020
And Gloria Allred, the same way, stands next to a, quote, victim.
01:45:20.800
And you automatically go, well, I don't think I believe them.
01:45:26.600
Because, I mean, everyone can, you can relate to someone who felt like it was tough to come out.
01:45:32.080
You can feel, you can relate to someone who went through a terrible tragedy.
01:45:35.480
I can't relate to someone who thinks the best way to handle that is to go to Gloria Allred.
01:45:39.580
It's such an impossible hurdle for me to clear, to use that phrase again.
01:45:43.540
It's just like, you have, you're in the worst situation of your life.
01:45:47.660
You're going in the national stage and you go to this person who has been so shady and, in my mind, discredited
01:46:11.440
And it reminded me the whole time I was thinking of the Duke lacrosse team with Al Sharpton.
01:46:21.100
Because I tried, I immediately dismissed her and then I, I went back and I was like, okay,
01:46:25.440
watch her with a hand over Gloria Allred sitting right next to her.
01:46:29.260
And, and it reminded me of the Juanita Broderick, uh, interviews.
01:46:38.320
And it's amazing how little attention, uh, that case has received.
01:46:44.520
I mean, you, you pointed this out earlier, Glenn.
01:46:46.000
If they come out and start hammering Bill Clinton and take down Bill Clinton from these allegations,
01:46:50.320
multiple allegations over many years, then you'll start to take them seriously.
01:46:53.860
I won't take the left seriously until they go after Bill Clinton.
01:46:56.820
When they say, you know what, what we did to Gloria, what we did to, uh, Juanita Broderick
01:47:02.080
and, and Paula Jones, uh, Kathleen Willey, Kathleen Willey, all of those people that were
01:47:09.880
And what we did to them by dismissing them and playing politics, we're going to believe
01:47:19.320
Then I, then I'm like, okay, all right, they're serious until they do that.
01:47:28.440
And you're starting to see a little bit of that now.
01:47:30.500
I mean, during the campaign, during Hillary's campaign, Buzzfeed had an extensive profile of
01:47:36.100
Juanita Broderick, where, which was, I would say very favorable to her and her story.
01:47:43.900
She's the most, I remember seeing her on 60 minutes back in the nineties.
01:47:47.560
And I remember watching that going, okay, I don't know about Paula Jones.
01:47:51.280
I mean, it seems credible, blah, blah, blah, but Juanita absolutely credible.
01:47:55.940
And she is, she's more dangerous for the Clintons because remember her charges, she was having
01:48:02.880
an affair with him or no, she, she was raped by him.
01:48:08.540
And then Hillary came up and said, what you, what you've done with my husband, I know what's
01:48:17.660
happened with my husband or something like this.
01:48:19.400
And, and I just want you to know how to fundraise her.
01:48:28.160
She couldn't take it when they take Juanita Broderick seriously.
01:48:34.220
That's when you will be able to say, okay, let's talk about other people now, but until
01:48:42.380
If we don't take people seriously with Trump, with, uh, Roy Moore or anybody else, and that
01:48:55.320
Do not just say it's a political game and then use your common sense.
01:49:05.540
I also don't want to, uh, I don't want to support them because I don't know.
01:49:11.340
I don't know, uh, Pat, you, you didn't sign that last year.
01:49:38.040
I don't know, but a malt sounds freaking delicious.
01:49:40.220
Ever since he's said that, that's all I've thought about.
01:49:45.420
Uh, Pat Gray Unleashed is coming up on the Blaze Radio and TV network.

01:52:00.240
Um, which now you are eligible as, yeah, I don't think so.
01:52:03.440
No, I, uh, obviously I will be selecting the writing entry.

If somebody wants half the price of a truck, we can make them true.
01:52:17.620
So here's the, here's the, here's the, here's, I'm sorry, Martha, cause I didn't look at me
