The Glenn Beck Program - 11⧸8⧸17 - Blue Gets Bluer, Red Gets Redder (Imam Tawhidi joins Glenn)

00:00:10.120 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:15.500 Armageddon came to the GOP in Virginia last night, and quite frankly, they deserved it.

00:00:20.360 The Republicans got straight crushed as Ralph Northam defeated Ed Gillespie for governor,

00:00:27.000 and probably more significantly, Democrats picked up 10 seats in the state legislature.

00:00:33.640 Now, if you've been watching this in the past few weeks on the news,

00:00:37.440 you'd think whichever party performs better in this election is going to win every election until the end of time.

00:00:46.880 Uh-huh.

00:00:48.420 Democrats have lost every special election up until this point.

00:00:52.280 They have done that despite pouring records amount of cash into it.

00:00:58.560 So why is there so much hype on this election?

00:01:02.500 Gillespie lost.

00:01:03.740 But that was, you know, as predictable as making the bold claim that I think tomorrow the sun is going to come up.

00:01:10.740 And I'm going to actually put some more.

00:01:13.100 I'm going to risk some more.

00:01:14.280 It's going to come up in the east.

00:01:15.500 With an exception of 2013, the sitting president's party has lost every Virginia gubernatorial election since Jimmy Carter.

00:01:25.480 On top of that, Trump lost Virginia to Hillary, and the state went to Obama twice.

00:01:31.040 The narrative this morning is that this is the beginning of the end times for the GOP.

00:01:35.460 But this would have been a much bigger deal had the Democrats performed poorly.

00:01:40.200 Republicans were supposed to do poorly here.

00:01:46.520 There's a much bigger story on Virginia.

00:01:49.980 Because Virginia is the prime example of the increasing shift of people and states moving to the far fringes of the left and the right.

00:01:59.320 Red states are getting redder.

00:02:01.680 Blue states are getting bluer.

00:02:04.160 The moderates and the middle ground are disappearing.

00:02:07.400 Virginia has been turning blue for a while now.

00:02:12.420 But the most eye-popping thing you will see on the map is that the urban areas have turned so blue and rural areas have turned so red that it almost drains the red and blue cones from your eyes.

00:02:27.300 Where have the moderates gone?

00:02:29.820 This is a trend that is going to continue to pick up steam as people continue to shift further and further, left and right, until we have an unum again.

00:02:43.020 E, pluribus, unum.

00:02:45.520 This will continue to happen until we decide what we're for, not just what we're against.

00:02:52.780 Consider what's happening in Virginia.

00:02:55.940 This is a state that just elected a governor that was endorsed by Planned Parenthood.

00:03:00.860 They also elected their first openly transgender to the legislature.

00:03:06.780 And they elected a self-proclaimed socialist.

00:03:10.760 Okay, that sounds moderate.

00:03:17.980 The midterms are still a year away, and anything is possible.

00:03:23.460 The GOP either needs to up their game, or here's an idea, show up with a game.

00:03:29.620 Or somehow, try to get Hillary Clinton on every single ballot next year.

00:03:36.520 But either way, whether you live in a blue county or a red county, get ready, because everyone around you is going to move further in that direction.

00:03:54.520 It's Wednesday, November 8th.

00:03:57.080 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:59.620 So, Stu, give me a roundup on everything that happened yesterday.

00:04:06.840 Well, I mean, you know, there was an outside hope, I think, for Republicans to do pretty well in Virginia.

00:04:15.340 Gillespie had run previously, had run into a close race.

00:04:17.020 I don't know anybody who was actually feeling that.

00:04:19.560 You know, I've heard people say, well, I don't know anybody who actually believed that.

00:04:26.940 Well, I mean, you know, the polling was pretty close.

00:04:28.980 I mean, Gillespie was pretty close in the polls leading up to it.

00:04:32.640 He had run well previously in a statewide election and almost won.

00:04:36.740 He did much worse last night.

00:04:38.120 I am kind of with you in that I did not expect him to win.

00:04:42.300 Yeah.

00:04:42.640 You and I talked about it last night at six o'clock and we were both just looking at each other going, there's not a chance.

00:04:48.340 Yes, there is a chance.

00:04:50.280 Yeah.

00:04:50.680 But there's a chance, too, that, you know, quantum mechanics and the idea of a parallel universe is actually the right answer, too.

00:05:00.260 I mean, I mean, I'm having a hard time with it.

00:05:03.400 We've seen that play out before when it seems like it's a, you know, a parallel universe.

00:05:09.500 Yes.

00:05:10.080 And it's happened.

00:05:10.920 You know, so it's interesting in that, like, you know, Gillespie ran his campaign largely under sort of the Trump policy banner.

00:05:19.400 He didn't associate closely with Trump.

00:05:23.640 He didn't have him a campaign for him.

00:05:25.360 He did do robocalls and things like that for Gillespie, but there wasn't a close association of their personalities.

00:05:32.560 But he ran on a lot of the platform that that was has been seen as Trumpian over the past few years.

00:05:39.620 So as, you know, Steve Bannon was saying he was going to win because he was saying these things.

00:05:45.060 Donald Trump obviously said the same types of things, although he's a politician.

00:05:48.440 I don't know how much you can take from Trump saying it.

00:05:50.540 But, you know, you notice the reaction of Breitbart.

00:05:53.520 I have this.

00:05:54.980 This is a so the day before the election, Corey Stewart, who is like kind of the more Trumpian candidate that ran against Gillespie initially, is the reason Gillespie is going to win.

00:06:02.980 Stephen Bannon said it's the Trump Stewart talking points that got Gillespie close and maybe even a victory.

00:06:08.580 It was embracing Trump's agenda as personified by Corey's platform.

00:06:11.880 This was not a competitive race for weeks.

00:06:13.480 You could have stuck a fork in Gillespie.

00:06:15.200 But of course, he did the Trump stuff, right?

00:06:17.900 Breitbart today.

00:06:18.580 Establishment Republican Gillespie rejected.

00:06:23.840 They're so shameless.

00:06:25.760 But I mean, you know, look, not only did he lose, he lost by a much larger margin than was expected.

00:06:33.840 So the idea pretty easily you can jump to there's a big time problem here for Republicans and that this is the first batch of elections that have happened since Trump got into office in which these were fought on sort of like playing grounds that Republicans and Democrats are competitive.

00:06:52.280 A lot of the special elections that have happened so far are people in very deep red areas that Trump picked the representative out of to put him in the cabinet.

00:07:02.940 And so, you know, they wound up winning, but winning in a much closer elections than expected.

00:07:07.880 Here you see the first sort of purplish state, which, again, I think is leaning blue anyway, without Trump.

00:07:14.400 It's a tough win for a Republican governor there anyway.

00:07:17.660 But but, you know, you see a real underperformance than what you would expect.

00:07:24.600 Well, I mean, I honestly I think it is because honestly, what are the Republicans for?

00:07:32.960 I know they're against Obamacare.

00:07:35.280 I mean, what has that gotten us?

00:07:36.820 Even that is.

00:07:38.000 Yeah, they say they're against.

00:07:39.700 I don't know how you quantify that.

00:07:41.520 Right.

00:07:41.760 But but so but let's take them at their word.

00:07:44.040 They're against that.

00:07:45.040 But what are they what have they done?

00:07:47.280 They're against high taxes.

00:07:49.280 Have you seen their tax plan?

00:07:50.800 I am not getting out of my home and walking literally across the street to vote for a Republican who's giving me this same crap.

00:08:05.540 When on the other hand, when you have a socialist that is running, what are they running socialists?

00:08:12.980 OK, we ran constitutionalist and we swept.

00:08:17.340 They say that this is just to stop Trump.

00:08:22.460 I don't think it is.

00:08:24.220 Trump is the catalyst.

00:08:26.660 And what has happened is the people who have thought, you know, we never have a chance to win.

00:08:31.660 The people who are just as tired of the Democratic Party as we are of the Republican Party.

00:08:38.480 They're the ones who are going out and and voting.

00:08:42.460 They're the ones that put a socialist in, not your not your regular Democrat.

00:08:49.280 These are the ones who are like, I believe in something.

00:08:52.180 I believe in socialism.

00:08:53.520 I believe capitalism is killing us.

00:08:56.060 I believe capitalism is a poison.

00:08:59.320 Those are the ones who are going out and voting, just like those who thought that socialism was a cancer.

00:09:06.520 And progressivism was eating away at our Constitution.

00:09:11.280 Those are the guys who came out for the Tea Party.

00:09:14.840 What we found, however, was.

00:09:19.880 Not everybody was really for that.

00:09:23.120 Not everybody was really for the Constitution.

00:09:27.860 A lot of people were just against Barack Obama.

00:09:34.260 And that leads you to make all kinds of bad decisions.

00:09:39.780 The same thing can be said, I think, with those who are really rallying around the socialists.

00:09:50.140 Do they actually believe in hardcore socialism?

00:09:55.700 My guess is yes.

00:09:57.900 Yeah, I mean, to your point, not only did they elect the first transgender person into the state legislature in Virginia,

00:10:06.400 they also elected Lee Carter, a member of the Democratic Socialists, to be one.

00:10:12.140 Right.

00:10:12.300 They also elected an outspoken gun activist.

00:10:16.400 If you remember the terrible video from the reporter who was killed live on television doing this,

00:10:22.040 her boyfriend was elected as well on a anti-gun platform.

00:10:25.320 So, I mean, they got who they wanted.

00:10:27.860 The big surprise was kind of this Virginia state delegates who were, I believe, a super majority for Republicans going into this election.

00:10:37.480 And now it's the control of it over, it was like 66, 34 going in.

00:10:41.480 Now it's going to be, it looks like it could be Democratic control, which if they have all three of, you know,

00:10:46.800 if they have that whole state controlled, then they are going to be able to pass.

00:10:51.840 They're already talking about major gun legislation there in the state as well.

00:10:56.680 You know, and the other thing I would say on this, the Trump effect is somewhat the negative side of that is going to be magnified in a state like Virginia,

00:11:06.520 because remember, this is the home of Charlottesville.

00:11:10.640 I mean, think of what it would be like if you don't live in Virginia.

00:11:13.140 Think of what the state media has looked like since that event.

00:11:16.740 I mean, as big as that was to the nation and are, I mean, arguably Trump's worst moment, right?

00:11:23.380 Where even, you know, people in his own cabinet were coming out and criticizing the way he handled that.

00:11:28.260 Yeah. So that has been the dominating news event for the state for the past year.

00:11:35.740 So I think you can look at Virginia and say maybe this was worse than the Trump effect in other states will be,

00:11:41.820 though everywhere across the country last night.

00:11:44.480 I mean, Republicans.

00:11:45.660 Honestly, I don't think it's just the Trump effect.

00:11:48.540 I really don't. I think it's the GOP effect.

00:11:50.860 If the GOP would be putting things in front of the president, the GOP would be energized.

00:12:01.320 Here's the thing.

00:12:03.080 Trump energizes the opposition, but the GOP in Congress does not energize the base.

00:12:14.380 So you have Trump.

00:12:17.200 Everybody just wants to stop Trump.

00:12:18.840 Do anything you can to stop Trump by any means necessary.

00:12:22.120 OK, so that's that's what's driving Democrats to the polls.

00:12:25.900 You've got to stop this guy.

00:12:28.340 But there is nothing that the GOP is doing that makes anyone who's who's typically voted for Republicans say,

00:12:36.340 I'm going to get up and make a call, give you a dollar, spend the time to stand in line for you.

00:12:44.520 There's nothing that is exciting.

00:12:46.540 Because there's there's nobody in the GOP that you think, oh, no, they get it now.

00:12:54.900 They're getting it done.

00:12:56.240 There's no one.

00:13:08.860 The number of Americans preparing for emergencies has soared recently, and that's a good thing.

00:13:13.600 You know, I did I open up the TV show last night with a chalkboard just just going over just the shootings, just the shootings.

00:13:25.280 In June, we had the baseball shooting.

00:13:28.020 In August, we had the Nazi Charlottesville.

00:13:31.940 In October was Las Vegas.

00:13:34.620 Last Tuesday was ISIS in New York City running people over Saturday.

00:13:41.340 I'm sorry.

00:13:41.760 Friday ran Paul was beaten within an inch of his life in his own house.

00:13:47.960 Saturday, Antifa started a movement and started rallies around the country.

00:13:53.440 Sunday was Sutherland Springs.

00:13:55.940 Monday was the White House shooter that wanted to kill all of the white cops at the White House.

00:14:01.420 Are you kidding me?

00:14:06.860 Look at that.

00:14:08.800 The birth pangs are getting stronger and they are getting closer and closer together.

00:14:14.060 We are entering a world of absolute chaos.

00:14:18.560 My Patriot Supply has helped people prepare for emergencies and chaos in their own lives for a long time.

00:14:25.500 Ten years now.

00:14:26.220 They have really helped me.

00:14:29.400 They're the ones that I've I have all my food through my Patriot Supply starting with their one hundred and two serving food kit right now.

00:14:38.800 Now, you can get this for less than a dollar per serving.

00:14:42.700 That's one hundred and two servings.

00:14:44.680 Really good food.

00:14:45.880 Last twenty five years.

00:14:47.520 It's all really easily stored.

00:14:49.540 And, you know, you have to get out because it's a fire.

00:14:53.020 It's an earthquake.

00:14:53.980 It's a flood.

00:14:55.060 Whatever it is, you just grab it and go.

00:14:58.040 And your family doesn't have to worry about food.

00:15:02.100 Call 800-200-7163 or you can order online at preparewithglenn.com.

00:15:16.140 Glenn Beck.

00:15:30.380 Glenn Beck.

00:15:32.600 Have a really great show for you.

00:15:33.840 We are going to talk to a mom in Australia that has been trying to warn the United States and Michael Bloomberg in particular about the mosques that are here in America and riddled all around the New York area.

00:15:53.380 That he said he has evidence proof people in the mosques are calling and saying, please help us get rid of these radical imams.

00:16:04.000 And Michael Bloomberg won't do anything about it.

00:16:06.280 And we'll talk to him coming up in just a little while.

00:16:08.380 And I feel like today, after the election results, it's easy to kind of wake up and feel that you're far too fully refreshed and awake from all the winning.

00:16:19.980 I'm sick of winning.

00:16:20.980 No one's feeling tired yet of it.

00:16:21.940 I'm sick of the winning.

00:16:22.580 And I think that's an easy way to react today.

00:16:24.400 Yeah.

00:16:24.620 But there are some positive ways to look at this.

00:16:27.320 Number one, if you are a Republican, you should, all of a sudden, the fear of God should be in you that you have one year to do something.

00:16:36.440 You have a year.

00:16:37.640 You may very well lose the house in a year and you will get nothing accomplished.

00:16:42.060 You have this year.

00:16:43.800 Get taxes done.

00:16:45.160 Get Obamacare done.

00:16:46.760 Get these things done because you have a very small window to get these things done.

00:16:51.940 At least there's a possibility of it.

00:16:53.500 I mean, I think there's a big thought.

00:16:55.580 The Senate was very, is very well aligned for Republicans in 2018.

00:16:58.620 It's very unlikely they will lose the Senate in almost any scenario.

00:17:02.300 But when it comes to the house, it could go away very quickly and it is dangerous.

00:17:07.820 There are some good ways, though, more optimistic take on this.

00:17:10.620 And I think you can kind of look at this and see maybe it's not as bad as the headlines are today.

00:17:16.840 You know, New York Times goes over this a little bit today, talking about how the results are consistent.

00:17:23.500 With what could be a wave election in 2018, which is not a not a huge surprise if you kind of looked at the results.

00:17:29.720 However, when you go at the you go back and look at this, Virginia voted for Hillary Clinton by five.

00:17:34.420 And this was a nine point win against Ed Gillespie last night for the Democrats.

00:17:40.020 But if you look at the House delegates, which is kind of the big surprise, everyone thought that Republicans were going to be fine there.

00:17:47.480 A lot of that came in Clinton areas of the 16 districts where Democrats wound up leading and getting going ahead in Virginia.

00:17:56.440 Clinton won 15 of them.

00:17:57.900 So these were already sort of right, you know, if they were anti-Trump, they were anti-Trump in 2016, too.

00:18:07.140 So there might not be as huge a signal in here if you want to look at this as sort of the positive.

00:18:12.340 So, you know, what I see this as a signal of is to is the left, the Democrats moving further left.

00:18:21.660 You know, the the the idea that we're going to be able to come together as a constitutionalist and a hardcore socialist.

00:18:31.880 I don't see that happening.

00:18:33.820 We're losing our principles.

00:18:36.900 And how do you how how do we come back together?

00:18:43.540 And so when you're when you're starting to see the the hard core left be elected, what are the Democrats going to send in?

00:18:57.160 Yeah. And they're going farther and farther left.

00:18:58.760 I mean, you're seeing this.

00:18:59.740 There is a real civil war here.

00:19:01.140 People love to talk about all the problems in the Republican Party.

00:19:04.380 The Democratic Party is in a civil war right now between the Bernie Sanders and and the much more than the Republicans are.

00:19:10.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:19:10.980 Honestly, I mean, honestly, there doesn't seem to be anybody fighting against sort of the Trump side outside of a couple individuals that split between sort of traditional conservatism and and the establishment and the Trump wing is right now really not even being fought on the Republican side.

00:19:26.660 I think because people have given up and they're looking for another way.

00:19:30.400 Right. And I think you're just like, I'm not going to I don't care about the Democrats.

00:19:33.480 Right. And so he's this happens in every sport.

00:19:37.980 When whoever wins the Super Bowl, the next year, everybody's doing what they were doing.

00:19:41.340 Yes. You know, so it's very common that this would happen if this stuff starts to go on where the Trump backed people continue to lose.

00:19:49.680 And if you know, that could wind up being a problem for that movement.

00:19:53.080 But I don't know that there is a movement there.

00:19:54.580 I mean, again, I don't think the Trump I don't I am not concerned policy movement.

00:19:58.920 Yeah, I am not concerned about the Trump movement.

00:20:01.860 I am concerned that he is that people like Steve Bannon are taking this politically much further to the I think to the left, a big government, big statist type of of government.

00:20:21.340 And that concerns me that people can just be swept up into the Steve Bannon camp.

00:20:30.700 Glenn Beck.

00:20:43.100 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:45.020 It's really amazing to me what is happening to the Democrats.

00:20:53.720 And and and let's talk about this for a bit.

00:20:56.880 We thought that Barack Obama was going to be the big socialist push because, quite honestly, his wife really believed in it.

00:21:06.460 I think he did, too.

00:21:08.080 But she was a diehard.

00:21:11.240 She believes in that.

00:21:13.860 As it turns out, he was really more about fame and fortune and money and and and playing the game.

00:21:21.320 Would you agree with that?

00:21:24.500 I think that's probably fair.

00:21:25.880 Yeah.

00:21:26.080 You now see him and people like Donna Brazil coming out and saying he leeched off the party.

00:21:35.980 Now, the reason why I bring up Donna Brazil is because she's always been a party hack, right?

00:21:41.520 Just a party hack.

00:21:43.480 And, you know, remember, she was the one who gave the questions to Hillary Clinton before a debate before the CNN debate because she worked at CNN.

00:21:52.000 Right.

00:21:52.320 OK, so, I mean, you want to talk about a party hack.

00:21:54.980 There is no bigger party hack than somebody who gets the questions in advance and then gives them to your candidate.

00:22:01.440 Would you agree with that?

00:22:02.220 Yeah, it's pretty bad.

00:22:02.940 OK, so she's now in her new book taking on Barack Obama.

00:22:08.640 And saying, you know, he was bad for the party.

00:22:10.960 He left us in a mess.

00:22:14.300 We were broke.

00:22:15.500 We had nothing.

00:22:17.180 So she's not holding him up as a champion.

00:22:21.000 And again, the reason why you do it for her is she's a party hack, but no longer.

00:22:27.400 With this new book, she is now staking her claim into the new left.

00:22:34.160 She's moving over to the Bernie side.

00:22:36.560 So she's cutting the ties.

00:22:39.940 Well, because they got them with her, but she's cutting the ties of all of the establishment.

00:22:45.160 But she's lumping Barack Obama into that and not bringing him into the Bernie camp.

00:22:52.200 I think that's really fascinating.

00:22:54.540 Yeah.

00:22:54.840 I mean, I guess when you're president for two terms, you're going to seem like the establishment.

00:22:58.840 You know, and it's I think a, you know, 30 percent of Amazon's book sales are come from

00:23:07.240 people who are in politics and are writing books about how it wasn't their fault that

00:23:11.460 they lost.

00:23:12.120 Like, I mean, it is very common to see.

00:23:14.200 But you're right.

00:23:14.680 I think it's identifying those lines of the Civil War.

00:23:18.960 Yes.

00:23:19.160 Right.

00:23:19.560 And I'm not picking a side.

00:23:21.580 Yeah.

00:23:21.860 I'm not saying that she's writing an important book and you should read the book or anything

00:23:25.460 else.

00:23:25.740 Right.

00:23:26.140 There's just two things in it that I think are important.

00:23:28.820 One, throwing Barack Obama under the bus because she's staking out territory with the new leadership.

00:23:37.320 He wasn't left enough.

00:23:39.040 That was the problem.

00:23:39.960 OK, he sold out.

00:23:41.880 But the other is the fact that she says in her book, if I can quote here, I felt some

00:23:51.400 responsibility for Seth Rich's death.

00:23:54.520 Stu, what does the family say that happened to Seth Rich?

00:23:57.480 A botched murder.

00:24:00.180 A botched, not a botched murder.

00:24:01.600 They actually succeeded in that.

00:24:02.660 Sorry, a botched robbery.

00:24:04.040 Botched robbery.

00:24:05.240 So he was just robbed.

00:24:07.440 And when anyone.

00:24:07.900 It's not just the family.

00:24:08.800 It's also, you know.

00:24:09.740 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:10.380 Yeah, I know.

00:24:10.800 Leading theory.

00:24:11.500 Right.

00:24:11.640 And I believe that.

00:24:13.700 And anybody on the right who has been saying that, well, no, I don't know.

00:24:19.820 I mean, I think he was killed and they made it look like a robbery.

00:24:24.240 What is what is the media said?

00:24:26.520 I mean, it's a conspiracy theorist.

00:24:29.220 I mean, Fox News had to retract stories about that.

00:24:32.380 I mean, it was a big scandal the last six months.

00:24:34.840 And everybody on the left was outraged about these conspiracy theories.

00:24:41.180 In her book, she writes, I felt some responsibility for Seth Rich's death.

00:24:46.460 I didn't, uh, I didn't, uh, I didn't bring him into the DNC, but I helped him.

00:24:50.500 I helped keep him there working on voting rights with all I knew about the Russian hacking.

00:24:56.580 I could not help but wonder if they had played some part in his unsolved murder.

00:25:02.120 Besides that, racial tensions were so high that summer, I worried that he was murdered for being white on the right side of town.

00:25:12.200 She then goes in and talks about how she, after the murder, she was afraid for her life.

00:25:22.240 Now, this is why this is important, because I'm not going to get into the Seth Rich murder.

00:25:27.800 However, this is important, because, again, all she's trying to do, she doesn't have a job.

00:25:35.700 She's not going to serve in the government anymore with the Democrats.

00:25:39.640 She has discredited herself.

00:25:41.520 She has no job as a political consultant.

00:25:44.840 She has no job as a, uh, a voice in the future.

00:25:50.220 No news organization can hire her after she leaked questions to the candidate.

00:25:54.200 Correct.

00:25:54.620 So she's discredited herself.

00:25:56.580 So we know what she's doing.

00:25:58.620 She's just trying to make herself relevant.

00:26:01.960 However, how she's making herself relevant is really important.

00:26:07.560 Yep.

00:26:08.080 One, Hillary Clinton, bad.

00:26:11.340 Barack Obama, bad.

00:26:13.980 Uh, the Democratic Party, corrupt.

00:26:17.200 Uh, socialism and Bernie Sanders.

00:26:20.220 Bernie Sanders, good.

00:26:21.980 And then to add the conspiracy element.

00:26:26.800 She is doing what the, uh, what the left and the media claimed was so damaging to the country

00:26:36.400 by taking people who believe something and then mixing in the fear of conspiracy theories.

00:26:43.880 And once you do that, this is their, this is their, um, hypothesis.

00:26:48.660 And I actually kind of agree with it.

00:26:51.000 Once you start to add the conspiracy theories into it, you start attracting all kinds of crackpots.

00:26:57.780 And then by any means necessary becomes real.

00:27:04.240 What is she doing?

00:27:06.100 And why is no one calling her out?

00:27:08.520 Why are they just dismissing after this huge scandal about Fox News and Seth Rich?

00:27:16.060 Why are they silent and not making a huge deal for their own side to now welcome in somebody who is peddling a conspiracy theory?

00:27:29.900 To me, to me, it, to me, it shows how dangerous things are getting.

00:27:40.220 It's not about what she's saying.

00:27:41.740 It's about her motivations to say them.

00:27:44.220 And, and you listen, look at the way she's saying all the points you just pointed out.

00:27:48.540 Uh, Hillary Clinton is bad.

00:27:49.860 She wasn't liberal enough.

00:27:51.100 Uh, the DNC was bad.

00:27:52.280 They didn't embrace the crazy liberal socialist guy enough.

00:27:54.740 Uh, Barack Obama was bad.

00:27:56.320 He wasn't liberal enough.

00:27:57.600 You know, I mean, like these are, it's the same way.

00:27:59.900 You're right.

00:28:00.200 It's a full out embrace of that side of, uh, of the aisle.

00:28:03.820 And, and look, and look what they did.

00:28:05.580 What, why do they say that, uh, Donald Trump did all of the, uh, birth certificate stuff?

00:28:12.960 He did the birth certificate stuff because he knew this is their claim.

00:28:17.260 He knew that these conspiracy theorists were out there and he was going to, um, appeal to them and bring them into the party.

00:28:27.340 And it's the most dangerous thing that can happen.

00:28:30.860 Why is she doing this?

00:28:33.780 Is she doing this because she knows those people exist and she can bring them into the party?

00:28:40.620 Why is that not even an option?

00:28:43.120 Why is no one even talking about that?

00:28:47.260 And it seems rather significant, especially after you look, look at this too.

00:28:55.140 Okay.

00:28:55.740 So on Monday, just, just see what you, what, what are you getting from this?

00:29:00.840 Besides, holy cow, this has been a lot.

00:29:03.780 On Monday, there was a guy who broke into the white house or John tried to jump the fence and wanted his claim on Facebook was, I'm going to kill all of the white cops.

00:29:14.860 Uh, what is that?

00:29:18.960 Uh, ill-advised?

00:29:20.280 I don't know.

00:29:20.900 It's, it's, uh, it's black lives matter influence.

00:29:25.040 It's clearly leftist rhetoric and, and racist rhetoric, right?

00:29:30.820 Uh, Sutherland Springs.

00:29:32.860 He looks like he was a really pissed off atheist.

00:29:36.680 Yep.

00:29:37.080 Yep.

00:29:38.100 And yep.

00:29:38.800 With personal vendettas as well.

00:29:40.500 Yes.

00:29:40.660 Personal vendettas and a personal vendetta against Christians.

00:29:44.160 Uh, Rand Paul.

00:29:47.040 He was, uh, beat up on Friday, three broken ribs, uh, three, five ribs, right?

00:29:54.920 Yeah.

00:29:55.060 Five ribs, three, uh, separated fractures or something else.

00:29:59.420 Uh, uh, three teeth now that are, they, they apparently knocked out.

00:30:04.540 I mean, lungs, bruised lungs.

00:30:05.940 He was really beaten up.

00:30:07.480 He was beaten up by an Occupy Democrat supporter.

00:30:12.980 Antifa on Saturday by any means necessary.

00:30:18.200 All leftist.

00:30:19.520 By the way, all next week, we have the chalkboard on Antifa going through their history and where

00:30:23.620 they're coming, coming from.

00:30:24.480 You want to, you want to see the genesis of that, the history of it and where they're

00:30:28.580 trying to, where they're saying they're going in the future.

00:30:30.660 We'll have that all next week on the, on the TV show, the blaze.com slash TV.

00:30:34.340 If you want to change the narrative from gun control, let's just look at the last week.

00:30:41.620 Let's just look at the last week.

00:30:43.860 White house guy takes a gun, wants to kill all of the white cops.

00:30:48.180 That's a leftist Sutherland Springs.

00:30:50.900 And a, a, um, a, uh, atheist left, uh, Rand Paul beaten up by Occupy Wall Street guy

00:31:01.340 left Antifa, the left ISIS, what the left and the right are, uh, ignoring that happened

00:31:10.100 a week ago yesterday.

00:31:11.560 It feels like 1978, doesn't it?

00:31:14.220 Then you have the Las Vegas shooting, which the, the really sick thing about that is it

00:31:21.360 looks like he was only into fame.

00:31:24.320 That's what he wanted.

00:31:25.280 They don't know for sure, but that's one of the, that's the working theory now is that

00:31:28.960 he was just trying to be the best shooter of all time.

00:31:32.460 So he was looking for fame.

00:31:34.180 So that's neither side.

00:31:35.700 Then the Nazis, that's the first one on the right.

00:31:41.140 And it's not, I mean, yeah, no, it's a socialist, not on the right, national socialism, um, and

00:31:47.000 the baseball shooting, a guy trying to stop the GOP.

00:31:50.740 So you have the left, the Nazis, socialists, uh, Las Vegas doesn't count because it's, we

00:31:58.960 don't know the motive, but it looks like it was fame.

00:32:01.460 Uh, ISIS doesn't really count because both sides are ignoring that Antifa left Rand Paul

00:32:09.600 left Sutherland Springs left White House left.

00:32:14.320 You want to change the, you want to change the dialogue from guns?

00:32:18.520 Let's look at this list and say, um, who is sowing the seeds of hatred here?

00:32:25.000 And if you go back to, uh, Donna Brazil, why was somebody who was in the DNC worried about

00:32:34.640 a white guy that he may have been killed for being white?

00:32:41.140 Who has been encouraging that the left or the right?

00:32:47.640 You know, maybe we should have a, uh, a frank conversation in America because I think people

00:32:55.860 are missing the point.

00:33:07.180 If you're hiring, you know that quality hires keep your business moving forward, but it's

00:34:31.160 Glenn Beck.

00:34:32.760 So someday we're going to make a tape of all of our, all of our, that's crazy.

00:34:42.740 I can't believe we'll just make a tape of all those and run them back to back on, on

00:34:48.960 all topics and then just separate topics.

00:34:51.620 But this year, the, I can't believe that award has to go to Bitcoin.

00:34:58.180 Yes.

00:34:58.820 I would, I would say that's accurate because last spring we were like,

00:35:02.700 I can't believe it's $1,100 today.

00:35:07.560 I can't believe it's 75.

00:35:10.720 What is it?

00:35:11.280 75, 23, 75, 23.

00:35:13.800 It's amazing.

00:35:14.720 It's funny.

00:35:15.040 Our own Brad Stacks who is here on the blaze TV.

00:35:19.520 We have been trading texts for a year about, holy crap, look at this new price of Bitcoin.

00:35:26.160 And, you know, just, I was looking back at one the other day and he, in September was like,

00:35:29.900 you know what?

00:35:30.220 I think this could go to 7,500 by the end of the year.

00:35:33.340 And like, we were like, I don't even know if it was November when it hit 7,500.

00:35:37.680 We still have two months to go.

00:35:39.120 Goldman Sachs is now saying what?

00:35:40.480 79?

00:35:40.920 They're saying short term is 79, 41.

00:35:45.160 I mean, again, I have no idea how long this ride lasts.

00:35:48.020 It may very well, you know, rides that are really exciting and up and down.

00:35:51.600 Think of the nerds.

00:35:53.760 Think of the nerds that have millions of dollars now.

00:35:59.520 Yeah.

00:36:00.160 I mean, if you just would have bought it when it was pennies.

00:36:05.380 Yeah.

00:36:05.760 I mean, it was, we talked, we're talking about this.

00:36:07.780 Ethereum is another one of these.

00:36:09.180 And I promise not to get too in-depth on cryptocurrencies.

00:36:13.180 But if you go back and you look at Ethereum, which is another one, it was $8 at the beginning of the year.

00:36:18.200 And it's now 300.

00:36:19.660 It's been as high as 400.

00:36:21.340 So, 8 to 400.

00:36:23.340 50 times your money.

00:36:25.360 You know, these things are exploding.

00:36:26.960 And you wonder, because every chart you'll look at looks like it's the ultimate bubble.

00:36:31.580 That it's going to crash tomorrow and go to zero.

00:36:33.640 And it may.

00:36:34.140 It may if, here's what's going to stop it, governments.

00:36:38.760 If the governments start to regulate against it, it's going to fall apart.

00:36:43.020 And it will go to zero and you'll lose all your money.

00:36:45.080 That's why I've said, do not put a lot of money into this.

00:36:48.640 But even if you've missed, you think you've missed Bitcoin, you haven't.

00:36:53.200 It's $7,500, but less than 1% of people are invested in it.

00:36:59.380 How much is it?

00:36:59.880 0.1 or 0.01?

00:37:02.520 It's 0.1%, I think, of the entire world is invested at a level of $100.

00:37:11.360 I think it's 0.01%.

00:37:14.280 Put $100 in Bitcoin.

00:37:18.160 You haven't missed it.

00:37:19.480 If this works, it could go, you know, I don't even know, $100,000 a coin.

00:37:28.560 We had a guest on who said that it was going to go up to $50,000 a coin in the next couple of years, he thought.

00:37:35.020 Yeah.

00:37:36.120 And eventually a million dollars per coin.

00:37:37.940 Yeah, a million dollars a coin.

00:37:38.860 Put $100 in it and forget about it.

00:37:43.320 Glenn Beck.

00:37:44.360 So, happy anniversary, America.

00:38:02.900 Happy anniversary.

00:38:03.960 Today, President Trump celebrating 365 days in office.

00:38:09.660 Been an incredibly tremendous year.

00:38:12.760 That's what he promised.

00:38:14.040 Has it been an incredibly tremendous year?

00:38:17.180 Probably not, but there's been some good things that I think we should mention.

00:38:21.060 Trump has made great appointments.

00:38:24.300 Neil Gorsuch, Betsy DeVos, Scott Pruitt.

00:38:30.240 Probably, most people would say, the most impressive accomplishment of the last year is the economic landscape.

00:38:38.540 Under Trump, we have seen a healthy and robust economy come flourishing back from the grave.

00:38:44.160 All three quarters of Trump in office have resulted in a 3% or more of GDP growth, unmatched achievement by any other president in our history.

00:38:56.160 That's significant.

00:38:57.960 The numbers are fantastic when you compare them to the eight years of Obama's miserable 1.6% average.

00:39:06.020 Unemployment under Donald Trump has gone down to 4.1% as of October's job report released on Friday.

00:39:14.080 That is a 16-year low.

00:39:17.800 Consumer confidence is skyrocketing.

00:39:19.900 Hit 125.9 in October, the highest level since December of 2000.

00:39:27.160 The Dow Jones is up 29% since Trump was elected.

00:39:31.060 Now, there's lots of things I could say back and forth on all of them, but you do have to recognize, whether you like Donald Trump or you agree with all of these or not, these stats are true.

00:39:42.720 They're hard, fast facts.

00:39:46.480 And that's good for America.

00:39:48.620 We still have a long, long way to go.

00:39:51.340 But some really good things have happened last year.

00:39:54.740 And you know what?

00:39:56.920 If the GOP could actually cut the spending and actually reduce the taxes in a meaningful way, we'll have a really, really good 2018 as well.

00:40:09.420 One of the big changes that has happened in the last year, and this is significant, is the destruction of ISIS.

00:40:17.220 We talked about it for a very long time.

00:40:21.640 After we created it, we talked about destroying it.

00:40:26.440 This has been the one big change.

00:40:30.600 Donald Trump destroyed it.

00:40:33.440 Now, I highly doubt that ISIS would be destroyed, and I highly doubt our economy would have turned around with Hillary Clinton at the helm.

00:40:43.180 But we'll never know.

00:40:44.460 And by the way, I would like to recognize one other milestone.

00:40:50.500 It's been exactly one year today that Hillary lost for the last time.

00:41:06.320 It's Wednesday, November 8th.

00:41:08.760 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:41:14.460 You know, it's amazing.

00:41:21.300 I want to talk to you about being for or against something.

00:41:29.000 Do we have that audio, Stu?

00:41:30.880 Who was it that said yesterday that, you know, politics are now changing and it's really important that you are against something?

00:41:38.340 It's no longer what you're for.

00:41:39.920 It's what you're against.

00:41:40.700 Yeah, it's this proposition of audio.

00:41:43.060 I think we do have it pulled.

00:41:43.960 I haven't heard the clip yet, but if we want to give it a whirl.

00:41:47.160 Yeah.

00:41:47.480 All right.

00:41:48.160 It's a CNN clip, Sarah.

00:41:49.800 You should have it from Mike.

00:41:51.620 What's the challenge?

00:41:52.500 Because, you know, you're going to have to deal with it when you run.

00:41:55.300 People can look at you and say, you know, your score with Donald Trump is 97.9%.

00:42:00.800 You will be a proxy for President Trump for people in your own district.

00:42:04.680 How do you feel about that proposition?

00:42:06.200 Look, you know, I agree with a lot of the policies.

00:42:09.220 You know, and I believe in the party.

00:42:10.940 97.9%.

00:42:11.380 Yes, you do.

00:42:12.160 Yeah.

00:42:12.420 Well, the reality is, look, the Republicans control the House.

00:42:15.660 So the bills that are on the floor are mostly Republican.

00:42:18.480 And if it was Speaker Nancy Pelosi, most of the bills on the floor would be Democrats.

00:42:24.640 So, of course, my score would be in the opposite.

00:42:27.200 So I think that score is a little bit misleading.

00:42:29.280 But the reality is, when we believe in something, we should have no problem standing up and saying so.

00:42:33.800 And if we disagree with something, we should have no problem standing up and saying so.

00:42:37.200 What do you think happens in the midterms if people in your party who are running for Congress

00:42:41.760 don't start saying what you're saying right now, which is we can't divide anymore?

00:42:45.440 The divisive rhetoric may have gotten us here in terms of having a president from our party,

00:42:50.340 but won't get us where we want to be.

00:42:52.100 Again, I believe that leadership is bringing people together.

00:42:55.120 I believe in the politics of addition, not subtraction.

00:42:57.440 I think that, you know, I would just encourage my peers to do the same thing.

00:43:02.020 That, you know, dividing people.

00:43:03.120 And listen, let's be realistic here.

00:43:06.500 Democrats are guilty of this as well, too.

00:43:09.800 So he's making the point here about you've got to be for something.

00:43:15.440 And what's happening to us is we're really against things.

00:43:20.940 For instance, let's take ISIS.

00:43:23.180 We've been against ISIS, right?

00:43:26.060 We've got to stop ISIS.

00:43:28.780 All right, we did.

00:43:31.000 But what did we do in the meantime?

00:43:34.020 In the meantime, we helped Iran fight ISIS.

00:43:38.940 Now what's happening?

00:43:42.100 Now we have Iran in Iraq and Syria, and it looks like Iran is now positioning itself to go to war with Saudi Arabia.

00:43:52.880 Why did that happen?

00:43:55.180 Well, let me give you a little history lesson quickly.

00:43:59.360 This started, you know, back in the 1970s.

00:44:02.560 We were really against.

00:44:04.040 We were fighting a Cold War.

00:44:05.660 And who were we against, Stu?

00:44:08.320 That Cold War.

00:44:10.360 The evil Soviets.

00:44:11.800 The evil Soviet Union.

00:44:13.140 So we have to do whatever we can to stop the evil Soviets.

00:44:17.360 By any means necessary.

00:44:18.860 Sure.

00:44:19.240 Because we're against them, right?

00:44:20.440 And so what did we do?

00:44:22.560 When they went into Afghanistan, we built Osama bin Laden.

00:44:28.180 We trained him.

00:44:30.480 We gave him the guns.

00:44:32.220 We gave and armed them and trained them.

00:44:35.800 Obviously, he wasn't Osama bin Laden at that time.

00:44:38.960 There was a real motivation there.

00:44:40.420 It was the enemy of our enemy.

00:44:41.760 Enemy of our enemy.

00:44:42.860 And he hated the Soviets.

00:44:44.900 He wanted to kick them out.

00:44:46.240 We wanted them to be kicked out.

00:44:48.380 And so we helped him because we were against the Russians.

00:44:54.040 Once the Russians fell, he said, okay, now I'm going to do that to America.

00:44:58.380 That's almost a quote.

00:45:00.100 So we became, we were against Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, which we were just for with the Russians.

00:45:08.740 But now we were against it.

00:45:10.960 Because we were against it, we decided to get into bed with the Muslim Brotherhood.

00:45:16.200 Well, the Muslim Brotherhood, they're against Al Qaeda.

00:45:21.500 Okay.

00:45:22.420 All right.

00:45:23.800 Then what happened?

00:45:24.920 Because we were for the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood was starting to fight against Gaddafi.

00:45:35.560 We had to help the people against Gaddafi.

00:45:41.020 So what did we do?

00:45:42.620 We created ISIS and we armed the people of ISIS.

00:45:48.160 That's what Benghazi was all about.

00:45:50.480 Now we were against ISIS.

00:45:52.860 And so what happens?

00:45:54.300 We have to help Iran.

00:45:56.220 What's missing here?

00:45:59.000 What do you learn from this?

00:46:01.300 You learn without having principles.

00:46:04.780 You're just going to switch problems.

00:46:07.320 You're just going to be against something and you're going to make it worse.

00:46:10.520 And then you have to be against that and you're going to make it worse and you're going to make it worse.

00:46:13.920 And you get nowhere.

00:46:15.140 Your best case is kicking the can down the road, typically.

00:46:18.100 Yes.

00:46:18.880 Best case.

00:46:21.200 Worst case is you're entangled in something that just continues to go on and on and on and you never get out of the cycle.

00:46:27.460 And you can't get out of the cycle because you don't stand for.

00:46:30.720 You're not for something.

00:46:32.320 If we were for freedom, we would not be for or tolerating ISIS, which we did, Al Qaeda, which we did, the Muslim Brotherhood, which we did, Osama bin Laden, which we did.

00:46:50.820 And they stood against the things we should have been for, and they have raised money and soldiers against us because we're duplicitous.

00:47:03.640 We don't stand for anything.

00:47:07.860 Now, let's look at this with the GOP.

00:47:11.180 The GOP said that they were for the free market, but they didn't mean it.

00:47:17.700 What they were against was more important.

00:47:23.520 What they were against was Barack Obama and what they were against, Hillary Clinton, overrode everything else.

00:47:32.680 But we're against Obamacare.

00:47:35.840 That became the mantra.

00:47:39.540 We're against Obamacare and we're going to repeal and replace.

00:47:43.000 And how many times did I say with what?

00:47:45.780 Replace?

00:47:46.300 No, you're going to replace it with the free market.

00:47:49.580 But because we didn't demand to hear what they were for.

00:47:55.240 We were all taken like a bunch of hapless dupes.

00:47:59.060 What?

00:47:59.800 They're not going to repeal it?

00:48:01.620 They're not going to give it back to free market?

00:48:04.680 No.

00:48:05.700 Why would they?

00:48:06.800 We never asked them to be for that.

00:48:09.240 We assumed.

00:48:10.000 And we put all of our stock in what they were against.

00:48:21.060 Let's look at.

00:48:23.780 Let's look at gun control.

00:48:28.180 It's happening to us again.

00:48:30.240 We are what?

00:48:31.940 What are we against?

00:48:32.980 I'm against a church being shot up.

00:48:35.740 This is the argument.

00:48:37.300 Do you want that to happen more?

00:48:38.860 No, of course not.

00:48:40.140 Nobody wants that to happen more.

00:48:41.540 And it's a stupid argument to make.

00:48:44.340 It's not that I'm for that.

00:48:46.160 Stop changing.

00:48:47.100 Stop changing the argument.

00:48:50.100 Stop making it an argument of first graders.

00:48:52.840 I'm not for that.

00:48:54.200 Nobody's for that.

00:48:55.100 Well, then how come you're not against?

00:49:00.040 Well, wait, because I want to be for something.

00:49:03.440 And it has to be something that aligns with my principles.

00:49:06.840 For instance, how come you won't join Antifa?

00:49:11.460 You for the fascists?

00:49:13.340 No.

00:49:14.100 No, I'm not.

00:49:15.160 I'm not for the Nazis.

00:49:17.200 However, I know what a fascist is.

00:49:19.920 And what a fascist is, is somebody who says, I'm going to shut down people who disagree with me by any means necessary.

00:49:30.780 Wait a minute, Antifa, that's your slogan.

00:49:35.040 I can't be for you, even though I am against the Nazis.

00:49:41.160 I can't be for you because, yes, you might shut down the Nazis, but then I have to fight with you because you believe anyone who disagrees with you, you're going to shut them down by any means necessary.

00:49:58.360 So once you finish with the Nazis, are you going to come for me?

00:50:02.200 I can't be for you and I can't be against the Nazis with you by my side because I don't agree with you on where we're headed.

00:50:13.820 You want to go into a totalitarian state, which is a socialist communist state, which you think is going to bring utopia.

00:50:23.520 Well, the same thing with the Nazis.

00:50:25.100 They think that's going to bring utopia.

00:50:26.880 I don't agree with either of you.

00:50:29.140 I believe everyone has the right to speak and exchange ideas and we meet on the battlefield of ideas.

00:50:39.260 The minute you make that an actual battlefield, I'm out.

00:50:44.160 The minute you say I've got to silence somebody, I'm out.

00:50:47.760 The minute you say they don't have worth to be listened to, to occupy space, that they don't have a reason to live, that there's somehow or another beneath you, I'm out.

00:51:05.300 But because I'm for something.

00:51:14.300 I'm going to take a break.

00:51:15.300 I'm going to come back with something that Clarence Thomas asked last week that is so unbelievably profound and sad, sad that we even have to have that conversation.

00:51:26.840 But he's absolutely right.

00:51:29.220 And it's a conversation that we have to have today.

00:51:34.840 We'll do that in a second.

00:51:36.180 Your mortgage rate depends on many factors like the global economy, the loan that you choose, how many points you pay.

00:51:55.260 Now, these and other variables add cost and that's, you know, whether you're going to be able to get the loan and be able to afford the loan.

00:52:07.960 Now, the one thing that you really have to look at is, is the person helping me buy this loan?

00:52:17.600 You've got to look at banks like used car salesmen.

00:52:20.760 They are selling you something.

00:52:22.760 We just trust them because it's a bank.

00:52:24.520 Don't what are you doing?

00:52:26.860 They're selling you something.

00:52:28.920 It's a loan instrument.

00:52:30.880 And they want you to get into that loan because it's good for them.

00:52:36.460 Don't do that.

00:52:37.920 You need to talk to somebody who makes a salary without any bonuses or tied commissions to whatever the customers buy.

00:52:47.880 This is why I like American financing.

00:52:50.020 And this is why in 2008, American financing didn't have any problems.

00:52:54.360 You know, this is a this is a family owned business that started years ago and and now has just grown so so well because they work for you.

00:53:05.440 They don't work for the bank.

00:53:07.580 American financing will give you straightforward and effortless mortgage experiences.

00:53:12.040 So call American financing today.

00:53:14.000 If you want to refi, you want to buy a new home.

00:53:17.080 Call American financing.

00:53:18.500 Eight hundred nine zero six twenty four forty.

00:53:20.700 That's eight hundred nine zero six twenty four forty or online at American financing dot net.

00:53:36.240 Glenn back.

00:53:43.580 Glenn back.

00:53:46.300 Tonight at five o'clock, I'm going to go deeper into this.

00:53:49.200 I started yesterday on the TV show on what do we have in common?

00:53:54.040 What is our unum and showed you the problems that we are experiencing right now because we don't have an unum e pluribus unum from many one.

00:54:06.900 That was our national motto.

00:54:08.660 We are now e pluribus pluribus from many, many.

00:54:12.340 It doesn't work.

00:54:14.140 And now we're adding arrogance to it on.

00:54:17.580 It's my way or the highway.

00:54:19.780 I can kill you if I don't agree with you.

00:54:25.000 Clarence Thomas said this recently.

00:54:27.760 I want you to listen to this.

00:54:29.860 When you think of people like my grandparents, these were people who had been through quite a bit and had a calmness and a contentment about life.

00:54:38.700 And they understood putting things in context.

00:54:42.820 What was important priorities?

00:54:45.300 What battles are you going to fight today?

00:54:47.720 What decisions you're going to make?

00:54:49.520 What decisions you're going to make today will result in you being able to eat?

00:54:54.060 Those sorts of things.

00:54:55.940 And long term, that these two boys they were raising will be educated and that they will have good manners and go to school and be polite to the neighbors, etc.

00:55:06.480 I think that today we seem to think that everything has to be one size fits all and people can't have opinions that make us uncomfortable or ideas that make us uncomfortable or that we don't agree with.

00:55:20.800 I want you to think of that.

00:55:25.020 See, we have we're changing language.

00:55:28.760 What we used to call uncomfortable.

00:55:32.440 We now call unsafe.

00:55:38.120 I feel unsafe.

00:55:41.000 No, you feel uncomfortable.

00:55:45.480 Unsafe is when somebody comes into the office with a gun.

00:55:48.800 That's when I feel unsafe.

00:55:50.620 I feel unsafe when I go to a, you know, a theme park and they haven't locked me in.

00:55:57.500 I feel unsafe.

00:55:58.860 I feel uncomfortable when somebody is challenging me.

00:56:04.760 That's huge.

00:56:08.000 Because we can't even promise safety.

00:56:12.000 There's no one that can say to you, you're going to be safe your entire life unless you're in a bubble.

00:56:18.880 And even then there could be a fire.

00:56:22.380 And if you're in a bubble, maybe the oxygen tanks blow up.

00:56:25.180 I mean, I can't promise you safety.

00:56:27.180 No one can.

00:56:28.860 But you should never want to be promised a lack of uncomfortability.

00:56:35.640 I am only uncomfortable when I'm learning something new.

00:56:41.280 For instance, yesterday I was in a meeting and I was very uncomfortable.

00:56:45.960 I was very uncomfortable.

00:56:46.980 But I was very uncomfortable because we were all learning something new.

00:56:53.540 I'd never been there before.

00:56:58.460 Didn't know exactly how to handle it.

00:57:00.560 None of us did.

00:57:01.780 And we were all uncomfortable.

00:57:05.040 But we will be better because we had that moment of uncomfortability.

00:57:09.940 If we didn't have that uncomfortable moment, we would never solve it.

00:57:15.500 It would just decay and get worse and worse and worse.

00:57:18.560 Your kids are uncomfortable doing their homework.

00:57:23.520 They don't like it.

00:57:24.920 You do it because you know it's important.

00:57:30.200 So, the first thing that we have to change is the understanding of being unsafe and uncomfortable.

00:57:41.820 If somebody says to you, hey, I like that dress and would you like to go out?

00:57:48.840 That may make you uncomfortable and say, that makes me uncomfortable.

00:57:51.840 Don't do that anymore.

00:57:53.980 Somebody stalking you is making you unsafe.

00:57:58.360 And they are very different.

00:58:00.660 Learn that first.

00:58:01.960 More in a minute.

00:58:02.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:58:20.400 All right.

00:58:22.000 So, Clarence Thomas said, you know, a couple of things.

00:58:28.520 And could we play this again, Sarah, please?

00:58:31.000 This is Clarence Thomas.

00:58:32.860 When you think of people like my grandparents, these were people who had been through quite a bit and had a calmness and a contentment about life.

00:58:42.280 And they understood putting things in context.

00:58:46.260 What was important?

00:58:47.460 Priorities.

00:58:48.240 Okay, stop.

00:58:48.740 What battles are you?

00:58:50.020 First of all, I want to start there.

00:58:52.840 What he said here is our grandparents were content.

00:59:00.780 And why?

00:59:02.300 Because they had priorities.

00:59:05.360 They put things in context and they put things, they knew what mattered.

00:59:11.620 This is why I've been on this kick lately in my own life.

00:59:16.680 What matters most?

00:59:18.420 Once you know and you make a list of what matters most, this is what matters most to me.

00:59:24.300 This is where I'm headed.

00:59:25.460 This is what I want to do.

00:59:26.960 Once you start doing that, oh my gosh, your life changes.

00:59:30.320 You suddenly have no tolerance for stuff that just doesn't matter.

00:59:36.880 You're just like, you want to have this conversation?

00:59:40.060 Go someplace else and have this conversation.

00:59:42.200 I'm working on this.

00:59:44.420 Once we know, Stu, what is the greatest gift from God?

00:59:48.440 What would you say?

00:59:49.260 I thought of this yesterday.

00:59:50.200 What would you say God's greatest gift to us is?

00:59:53.160 Most precious gift?

00:59:54.680 Probably queso, I would think.

00:59:55.900 I mean, it's a tough line.

00:59:57.100 That was the first one I thought of too, but now go to the second level.

01:00:01.480 I mean, obviously the chips go closely along with it, but I'm putting it in the same category.

01:00:06.360 All right.

01:00:06.500 Well, I'm going to help you a little.

01:00:07.780 I mean, I bet a lot of people would say, and I've said most of my life, forgiveness.

01:00:13.100 Grace.

01:00:13.640 The chance to start all over again is phenomenal, but I don't think that's his greatest gift.

01:00:23.620 Time.

01:00:26.260 Time is our greatest, most precious commodity.

01:00:30.280 Time, and there's a limited amount of it.

01:00:35.700 There's enough grace for the entire universe for all eternity, but time is limited.

01:00:45.240 What are we doing with our time?

01:00:49.420 We are not putting things into order.

01:00:52.500 What matters most?

01:00:53.820 We're like, we are so ADD driven.

01:00:56.880 Think of us.

01:00:57.500 Think of this.

01:00:57.960 Uh, where are we on ISIS today?

01:01:01.180 Talking about what happened in ISIS.

01:01:03.460 We're not talking about it because we're currently talking about guns because of the shooting.

01:01:07.720 Last week, we were all about ISIS.

01:01:09.320 Last week, we got to be all about ISIS.

01:01:11.060 This week, shooting, shooting guns.

01:01:13.060 First Amendment.

01:01:13.700 Next week, it'll be something else.

01:01:14.980 What the hell is wrong with us?

01:01:17.860 We are shiny object, shiny object.

01:01:20.460 Yeah.

01:01:20.640 Squirrel.

01:01:21.400 If you were super duper into the NFL protests a few weeks ago.

01:01:26.760 Yeah.

01:01:27.040 I mean, now it feels like ancient history.

01:01:28.760 Was there any purpose in getting all fired up about that?

01:01:30.820 I don't know.

01:01:31.440 I mean, and this goes every single week.

01:01:33.700 There's another one of these stories.

01:01:34.640 So, so first of all, we have to say what matters most for our time, but we have to look at that also as in our society, what matters most?

01:01:47.140 What matters most?

01:01:48.380 And I will tell you that it is not getting rid of ISIS or getting, I'm sorry, getting rid of the Nazis or getting rid of Antifa.

01:02:02.940 It's not getting rid of the Democrats or the Republicans.

01:02:07.460 It's not getting rid of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

01:02:12.160 Because another one will appear.

01:02:15.500 Have you ever thought, I'm not going to watch the news anymore.

01:02:18.580 And you're all keyed up from it.

01:02:21.040 And then you leave and you're like, what have I missed?

01:02:25.200 And you come back and it's the same crap, different names.

01:02:28.400 Have you ever noticed when you read the Bible, it's the same crap, just different names.

01:02:33.580 You're while you're reading this and you're like, did these people not see what happened 500 years before?

01:02:39.080 Did they not see what it?

01:02:41.420 Yes, they didn't see it.

01:02:43.560 We're not seeing it.

01:02:44.840 It's the same story over and over and over again.

01:02:50.620 So what matters most?

01:02:54.700 We could do all kinds of things to get rid of guns.

01:02:57.220 But is that what matters most?

01:03:03.040 We want to get rid of guns because we're against guns.

01:03:06.560 No, I am for security.

01:03:12.500 I am for the defense of the innocent.

01:03:17.160 I am for the defense of the helpless.

01:03:20.620 Now that changes things because if I'm against guns, I can solve what happened in a Petri dish, not actual solve it.

01:03:34.920 I could solve what happened in a Petri dish by telling that telling you that I'm going to make sure that that gunman on Sunday had, you know, doesn't isn't going to get a gun.

01:03:46.560 Well, he's going to find someplace else.

01:03:48.140 He's going to he'll mow a bunch of people down with a truck.

01:03:51.020 You know, and if they really committed, they'll fly a 747 or a 727 into a building.

01:04:00.240 They'll find a way that doesn't solve anything that kicks the can down the road.

01:04:05.240 What matters most is I am for security and safety.

01:04:14.120 I am for a a a society that doesn't want to rip the throats out of each other.

01:04:21.760 Well, now that's a different problem.

01:04:24.880 That's a totally different problem.

01:04:26.980 That's going to make me now look at the shooter on Sunday and say we have to look at mental health.

01:04:33.660 We have to look at the divide between Christians and atheists.

01:04:37.740 How can Christians and atheists what would be better in our country if we were having a discussion this week about how do we get together with atheists?

01:04:46.340 You know what?

01:04:47.360 See if we can get Penn Jillette on tomorrow.

01:04:49.860 Penn, this guy was an atheist.

01:04:51.200 What can the Christian community do to reach out to atheists and say we don't want to be those kinds of people?

01:05:00.540 And I know you don't want to be those kinds of people.

01:05:03.720 How can we break down some of these barriers?

01:05:06.900 Wouldn't that do more for the safety of our nation and the and the calmness of the nation?

01:05:16.020 Wouldn't that make us feel more safe?

01:05:18.960 It's going to make us feel uncomfortable.

01:05:24.520 But if you're not willing to be uncomfortable in thought, what you're saying to the world is, I got it all figured out and it's my way or the highway.

01:05:33.380 And that leads to Nazis.

01:05:34.920 That leads to Antifa.

01:05:36.680 That leads to rounding people up.

01:05:42.180 We have to be for things.

01:05:45.380 I'm going to show you tonight at five o'clock.

01:05:50.160 On the Blaze TV, I'm going to take to the chalkboard and I'm going to show you the things that people are saying now that we need to solve.

01:05:56.760 We have to do something.

01:05:58.220 And I'm going to show you that if you are against something, that solution will look really good.

01:06:05.620 That solution will be like, yep, that could take care of it.

01:06:08.980 I'm not going to guarantee it, but that could take care of it.

01:06:11.940 But unless you're for something and these are really big principles that we should all be for.

01:06:19.400 You will destroy those big principles.

01:06:23.060 Because you're just going to pick them off one by one without even noticing.

01:06:27.760 I'll show you that tonight on the chalkboard at five o'clock, only on the Blaze TV.

01:06:33.760 Become a subscriber now at the Blaze TV.

01:06:36.880 That's theblaze.com slash TV.

01:06:39.520 And you can watch them all.

01:06:40.600 I think it's a Buck an episode or something.

01:06:42.440 And you can watch them all.

01:06:43.700 But we just did.

01:06:45.100 Last week was all about socialism.

01:06:47.060 This week is kind of turning out to be.

01:06:50.420 E pluribus unum.

01:06:51.520 What do we believe that will bring us together?

01:06:58.620 Because if we don't bring ourselves together, we're toast.

01:07:03.360 We're absolutely toast.

01:07:04.740 Can I, can I, can I, let me show you.

01:07:21.220 I want to show you one thing.

01:07:23.300 Because I think we're going to have so much tonight that we're just not going to have time for it.

01:07:26.960 So let me, let me show you one example.

01:07:28.660 Right now, we all, would you agree that the one thing we all want to stop is sexual harassment?

01:07:39.940 Right?

01:07:40.880 Sure.

01:07:41.240 I don't know anybody who's for that.

01:07:43.220 Well, Harvey Weinstein.

01:07:43.960 Harvey Weinstein.

01:07:45.080 Okay.

01:07:45.420 So the bad guys are for that.

01:07:46.980 Kevin Spacey.

01:07:47.440 Okay.

01:07:47.780 Yes, Kevin.

01:07:48.820 Can you play real quick just the Kevin Spacey?

01:07:51.680 There's a show on Hulu.

01:07:54.100 Don't tell me that this Kevin Spacey thing was a secret.

01:07:56.660 But this show has targeted for three years, Kevin Spacey's problem.

01:08:04.420 Yeah.

01:08:04.600 The show's called Difficult People and it's on Hulu.

01:08:07.860 Listen to this from, this highlights from the past three seasons.

01:08:10.940 The second Bridget asked for a volunteer to come up on stage, his hand shot up faster than Kevin Spacey's fly at the opening of Newsy.

01:08:16.580 Um, what do kids hate?

01:08:18.240 Jazz.

01:08:19.220 Uh, the dentist.

01:08:21.440 Homework.

01:08:22.560 Kevin Spacey.

01:08:24.040 And yes, many gay lives were spared in the process.

01:08:27.300 I don't know how many, you know.

01:08:28.240 Well, we'd have to ask Kevin Spacey.

01:08:30.220 Kevin Spacey, sure.

01:08:30.800 Well, this is Choking Chucky.

01:08:33.480 Choking Chucky by day, maybe.

01:08:35.060 Kevin Spacey's pool boy by night.

01:08:36.740 So maybe I should just give up trying to find love.

01:08:39.180 You know, I'm going to go the Kevin Spacey route.

01:08:41.340 Just, just stop trying to be a human being and just focus on getting famous.

01:08:45.840 And then after I have a Netflix show, focus all of my frustrations on a boyfriend young enough to be my own son.

01:08:51.460 Wow.

01:08:52.360 Holy crap.

01:08:53.320 Wow.

01:08:54.120 Don't tell me this was unknown.

01:08:56.400 Wow.

01:08:56.900 That was, that was on Hulu.

01:09:00.140 Wow.

01:09:00.660 Over three years.

01:09:01.740 This is all stuff prior to this coming out.

01:09:04.320 Yeah.

01:09:04.600 That's, it's important to note.

01:09:05.660 It's not like they, they're reacting to the scandal.

01:09:07.580 This has been, they've been putting these jokes on the air for three years.

01:09:10.900 Okay.

01:09:11.300 So let's talk about, I mean, cause this is, you know, this stuff is different.

01:09:16.320 And some of the stuff with Harvey Weinstein is different cause it's, it's rape.

01:09:19.600 Uh, but let's talk about, um, you know, just sexual harassment in the workplace.

01:09:25.060 Okay.

01:09:25.480 So we all agree.

01:09:26.280 We want to stop that.

01:09:29.120 Okay.

01:09:29.560 So then you can't legislate anything.

01:09:32.440 So the answer has been, well, let's publicly shame.

01:09:36.460 Let's shame them.

01:09:37.420 And that's really the way society should work is, you know, you shame people.

01:09:41.220 However, things have gotten so out of whack because we don't, we haven't looked at the

01:09:47.780 big picture because it's all happened so fast and the world has changed because of, of social

01:09:53.840 media society should shame.

01:09:56.240 Okay.

01:09:57.100 So I make a claim, you know, uh, be Arthur sexually harassed me, uh, back in the 1940s.

01:10:06.540 I make that claim and all of a sudden be Arthur, well, she's no longer working, but if she would

01:10:15.660 have been working, she loses her job and everybody says, be Arthur, that's bad.

01:10:20.120 What have we lost?

01:10:21.200 We have lost a potential sexual harasser.

01:10:25.380 We have empowered the victim.

01:10:27.880 If it is a victim, what we've lost is the biggest principle of our society.

01:10:33.820 And that is due process without due process.

01:10:39.100 It's a witch hunt, which I could say, Hey, anybody want to go round up people?

01:10:45.540 I think are witches.

01:10:46.880 Anybody want to join me and round up people?

01:10:49.020 I think are bad people and we'll be the judge and jury and executioner.

01:10:54.200 I'm not going to get anybody but crazy people to do that, but we're all doing that through

01:11:00.960 social media and we haven't noticed the death of due process, which is a fundamental American

01:11:10.140 principle.

01:11:12.220 We're a mob.

01:11:15.040 Yeah.

01:11:15.580 I mean, it is most of the time going to be probably right.

01:11:20.300 I think most of the time these accusations turn out to be against real terrible people,

01:11:24.120 but there's a reason we structured, especially at the beginning, there's a reason we structured

01:11:29.860 our legal system, innocent until proven guilty and not guilty until proven innocent.

01:11:34.580 And you know what?

01:11:35.240 If it was guilty until proven innocent, most of the time we'd still get it right.

01:11:40.680 The question is the issue and the thing that the founders put in there was to make it so

01:11:48.100 it was difficult to even get people who were guilty to be proven guilty.

01:11:53.740 You put the standard as a high one so that when you always erred on saying, you know what?

01:11:59.020 We don't have enough.

01:11:59.680 They're innocent.

01:12:00.460 And we're going the opposite way on that.

01:12:02.080 We didn't want to be a society like all other societies before us that were putting innocent

01:12:08.780 people in jail.

01:12:09.980 We still say we put innocent people in jail with the high standard that we have.

01:12:16.280 We still make mistakes and we still have prejudice in us that makes us, you know, think in

01:12:22.160 different ways.

01:12:23.520 Okay.

01:12:24.540 We don't like that.

01:12:26.400 So what are we doing?

01:12:27.780 Instead of making it more difficult to be proven guilty, we are making it less difficult by

01:12:36.340 cutting out the judicial system entirely and saying vigilante justice, the mob justice, and

01:12:44.540 we will destroy you, your life, your reputation, everything that you are through mob justice.

01:12:50.200 Now, personally, I know some people that are, that I think are guilty and some people who

01:12:56.320 aren't firsthand.

01:12:59.480 Do you want to be somebody who destroys someone's life just by joining a hashtag group?

01:13:07.620 Due process.

01:13:10.240 We must be for things, not just against them.

01:15:15.840 You don't have to be there to win.

01:15:19.180 Glenn Beck.

01:15:20.780 So how is it possible to pass five background checks, even after you have been in prison for assault?

01:15:40.060 Disturbing details continue to emerge about the man who murdered 26 people at Sutherland Springs First Baptist Church last Sunday.

01:15:46.740 The latest is that while he was in the Air Force in 2012, he made death threats against his superior officers who tried to and he tried to sneak guns onto Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.

01:15:59.420 He was then sent to a mental health facility.

01:16:03.100 He later escaped.

01:16:04.720 Police caught him at a bus terminal in El Paso.

01:16:08.300 Police said that at the time he was suffering for mental disorders and was a danger to himself and others.

01:16:14.560 Now, this apparently happened at the same time that he was facing charges for kicking, choking and hitting his wife, pulling her hair and pointing loaded guns at her in 2011 and 2012.

01:16:26.580 He also hit his infant stepson in the head, fracturing the child's skull, and he was quoted as saying he did it intentionally.

01:16:37.180 I don't think I understand military justice.

01:16:42.940 He was only sentenced to one year in a military prison for punching a baby alone.

01:16:50.860 According to his court martial documents, the assault was with the force likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm.

01:16:58.560 The air force admitted on Monday that his conviction was not entered into the National Criminal Information Center database.

01:17:10.380 Someone was not doing their job.

01:17:13.920 Had someone done his job, we wouldn't be in the situation in Sutherland Springs.

01:17:20.520 In the two years following his military prison term, he was also investigated twice for sexual assault and rape, although no charges were ever filed.

01:17:32.920 Despite all of that, he still passed at least five background checks after his assault conviction because somebody didn't do their job.

01:17:44.580 He got one to work at a grocery store and then he had he passed another one, two more in 2016 and 2017.

01:17:54.480 He purchased guns at Academy Sports and then two more within the last four months to get a security job at a water park and an RV resort.

01:18:04.300 So who's doing these background checks?

01:18:07.380 This isn't like applying for a library card.

01:18:10.380 He was getting full time jobs.

01:18:11.700 Okay, one step up from a library card, but he was buying firearms.

01:18:19.020 What's going on?

01:18:21.580 When we have a background check law in place that completely fails, it only emboldens the left to try to pass more laws.

01:18:32.760 Anyone who believes in the Second Amendment must be now controlling the narrative and asking the air force,

01:18:41.120 what happened, who's responsible, and what are you doing to make sure that lunatics,

01:18:48.440 that domestic violence, and what I believe was attempted murder,

01:18:55.820 should not get a year in prison and then have it wiped from the public record.

01:19:02.140 America needs to get its act together with the laws we already have in place or we will lose more of our freedoms.

01:19:11.880 It's Wednesday, November 8th.

01:19:22.880 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:19:25.420 Last week, I saw a story on the Daily Wire, and it was about an imam in Australia, Imam Tahiti.

01:19:34.440 And this imam said, I have contacted or tried to contact Mayor de Blasio several times over the last few years,

01:19:45.480 and I am trying to reach out to mayors all over the country because radical Islam is being taught in many of the mosques here in America.

01:19:54.920 This is the letter that he wrote on February 2016 to Mayor de Blasio.

01:20:02.120 Dear Mayor de Blasio, it is my pleasure to address you in this letter,

01:20:06.660 and I hope it finds you in the best statuses of health and high levels of happiness.

01:20:11.280 I've spent the last two weeks in New York, both meeting and working with the Muslim community and its leaders.

01:20:16.680 I am writing to inform you that a number of Islamic centers and organizations which I believe are responsible for radicalizing Muslim youth are within your local government.

01:20:29.380 I am aware that the tactics being applied in these organizations include details of their financial funding from the Middle East

01:20:38.180 and importing of books containing extremist Wahhabist fundamentalist teachings.

01:20:44.020 These books are being gifted to prisoners within New York, resulting in their radicalization in prison.

01:20:52.740 I have met with U.S. ambassadors in diplomatic missions in the past,

01:20:55.940 and I welcome the opportunity to meet with you regarding the growth of Islamic extremism in the U.S., in general, and specifically in New York.

01:21:07.380 From Australia, joining us now, Imam Tahiti.

01:21:11.180 I sent two letters, and I assume the one you read was the 2016 one, February of 2016.

01:21:20.240 Yes.

01:21:20.920 And I sent another letter in January of 2017, following up that letter, basically because I was in New York a year later,

01:21:31.160 and I thought that now would be also a good time to bring some attention to the mayor.

01:21:40.080 Now, I sent the letter through all means possible.

01:21:43.980 I sent it through the website, through the City Hall website.

01:21:47.580 I sent it through the postal address provided on the website.

01:21:50.500 I even contacted the number available there to his secretary, a receptionist of his office, and made sure that they had received the letter.

01:22:00.720 I even sent one of my employees that was accompanying me to go and send a letter in person.

01:22:09.520 So, and this is not the first time that I've, you know, sent letters to mayors.

01:22:15.440 I've been doing this for a long time in many countries, and I received positive response.

01:22:20.480 So, sadly, yeah, sadly, New York wasn't interested in the advice I had to give.

01:22:29.240 Why is that, do you think?

01:22:32.400 Well, basically, it's not part of his agenda.

01:22:35.760 It's not part of his, it's not something that he shows that he's very concerned about, the security of the state, the city.

01:22:44.880 Now, let me be very clear with you.

01:22:48.100 We cannot compare mayor of New York with the mayor of another city in America.

01:22:53.820 It doesn't work like that.

01:22:55.540 New York is probably one of the most important places on earth after Washington, D.C., and London, and so on.

01:23:02.840 This will always be a hotbed and a target for Islamic terrorism.

01:23:06.920 It's something I know.

01:23:07.860 I know the ideology of my co-religionists.

01:23:10.340 I know how they think.

01:23:11.320 And it's always been a target, 9-11 and so on recently.

01:23:16.280 But when you have a mayor that's very calm when it comes to radical Islam, that's very open, very soft, you know, he will say that, you know, we're doing work.

01:23:25.720 But it's not really him that's doing work.

01:23:27.400 It's the FBI.

01:23:28.340 It's the intelligence services.

01:23:30.560 You know, it's something very worrying, especially to people from Australia.

01:23:34.260 And you would wonder why I would be worried.

01:23:36.700 That's basically because whatever happens in America influences the globe.

01:23:40.020 Therefore, I sent the letter.

01:23:43.240 Tell me what is happening in our country that Americans should be aware of.

01:23:50.180 I travel to America frequently, and I have a very healthy relationship with American ambassadors in the Arabian Gulf.

01:23:58.440 Now, the problem that we find is taking place in America is the lack of understanding when it comes to dealing with Islamic terrorism.

01:24:10.780 Now, let's be very frank over here.

01:24:13.660 Mayor de Blasio, he enjoys a very healthy relationship, maintains a healthy relationship with the Muslim community and with activists such as Linda Sarsour and so on.

01:24:24.320 Now, I don't want to speak about the funding part of it.

01:24:28.140 I just want to shed light on having a good relationship with the Muslim community.

01:24:32.940 That in itself does not mean that you can control the Muslim extremists that want to conduct terrorist attacks.

01:24:40.340 If you're good with a mosque, it doesn't mean that you control the congregation of the mosque.

01:24:47.060 That doesn't mean anything.

01:24:48.400 The fact is, in the eyes of a Muslim, so I'm a Muslim imam, in the eyes of the Muslim community, if a mayor is good with the Muslim leader or a Muslim figure, that adds credibility to the Muslim mosque.

01:25:02.320 And most of these mosques are actually radicals, which is why I sent the letter.

01:25:08.580 Most of them are radicals.

01:25:10.560 And there's been studies that have been done, available online, by intelligence services, regarding the Saudi Arabian funding to these mosques.

01:25:19.440 The number of terrorists that used to attend these mosques, people that have joined ISIS that used to pray in these mosques.

01:25:27.260 And, you know, the mayors over there, they have a good relationship with the people in the mosque.

01:25:31.720 That's the problem right now that America is suffering from.

01:25:34.400 But we don't know which ones are the good ones and which ones are the bad ones.

01:25:37.960 We don't even know how to tell as citizens.

01:25:40.300 We have no idea.

01:25:41.380 I don't blame you for that, because sometimes even Muslims and Muslim authorities can't tell between the radical and the non-radicalized person, let alone a non-Muslim trying to tell the difference.

01:25:58.020 This is a serious problem.

01:25:59.920 I hold a certificate in counterterrorism studies from Georgetown University.

01:26:04.660 When I sent my letter to the mayor, I knew exactly what I was speaking about.

01:26:10.200 I am a third-generation imam.

01:26:11.960 I'm very well experienced in this field.

01:26:14.280 I collaborate with the Australian authorities regarding these matters.

01:26:18.560 There's a huge opportunity to save America, especially during the Trump administration.

01:26:25.340 Now is the perfect time to crack down on terrorists.

01:26:28.340 What is needed is the people to actually rise and demand the mayors to actually take action.

01:26:34.900 And I speak to officials.

01:26:36.060 I don't just sit with anyone.

01:26:37.420 I have my relations over there.

01:26:40.280 And the imams in New York can't really do much because they live there.

01:26:44.480 They fear for their job.

01:26:45.540 They fear for their income.

01:26:46.900 I'm a guest.

01:26:47.820 You can take my advice, see if it benefits you.

01:26:51.020 If it doesn't, then I'm just going to be on my way back to Australia.

01:26:54.200 I don't want money.

01:26:55.060 I don't want anything.

01:26:55.620 I just want to give you free and friendly advice.

01:26:58.340 But the mayor wasn't really welcoming that.

01:27:02.480 I spoke to the imam last night because of the time difference.

01:27:08.120 And in the next segment, he started talking about, I can go to the streets of New York

01:27:16.040 and I can show you this, this, this.

01:27:18.140 I can show you who and what they're saying.

01:27:21.240 We're going to take him up on that offer.

01:27:24.180 More in just a second with Imam Tahiti.

01:27:26.800 I just followed him on my Twitter feed.

01:29:22.260 Continuing our conversation with an influential imam,

01:29:28.460 in Australia, who is begging the United States and, in particular, New York City and Mayor de Blasio to listen to him

01:29:38.160 because the people of the mosques in New York are saying,

01:29:42.220 help us.

01:29:43.320 There are radicals here.

01:29:45.760 Imam, welcome.

01:29:46.560 Welcome back, Imam Tahiti.

01:29:48.900 Thank you.

01:29:49.060 What is the motive to not respond to you?

01:29:58.280 Well, I have to acknowledge that I did not receive any confirmation from the mayor that he received my letter

01:30:06.540 because the way the system works is that when you send a letter through the website or postal or even in person,

01:30:13.560 nobody confirms with you that you've received your letter.

01:30:17.900 Let's go here.

01:30:18.900 If Glenn Beck in Texas can hear about it and get you on the phone,

01:30:23.820 surely the mayor of New York did.

01:30:25.840 There's been no approach whatsoever at all.

01:30:30.780 Has there been any approach from the New York Times or the New York Post, the Daily News?

01:30:37.660 Nothing.

01:30:38.000 I think nobody, nobody has contacted me from any of the news agencies that you just mentioned.

01:30:47.980 And you're probably the only person that is concerned about this matter right now, other than the public.

01:30:54.080 But, you know, it's very sad.

01:30:55.960 I can come to New York.

01:30:57.220 All I need is the green light.

01:30:58.680 And I will provide a list to the mayor of the people that shouldn't be entering America at all,

01:31:05.860 especially through New York Airport.

01:31:07.760 I will give him a history of the Islamic centers, the problem there.

01:31:12.300 And I want nothing in return.

01:31:14.340 I just want to help the people over there.

01:31:16.000 And I come back, you know, to my office in Australia.

01:31:18.840 This is something I can offer.

01:31:20.600 But I've been shut down.

01:31:22.320 And it's not going to stop over here.

01:31:23.780 I'm actually going to come to New York.

01:31:25.180 And I'm going to conduct my own research.

01:31:27.800 And I'll provide it publicly to the mayor.

01:31:30.040 And we'll follow up.

01:31:31.220 We'll see what he's planning to do.

01:31:32.520 This is really good news, if I understand you right.

01:31:35.000 You, your, some of your sources are people, American Muslims, that are attending these mosques,

01:31:41.660 that are begging you help.

01:31:44.880 Is that true?

01:31:46.200 Yeah, not one or two.

01:31:47.580 This happens around the world as well.

01:31:49.840 I have people everywhere.

01:31:50.900 And America, especially, I can easily point out the mosques and the problem.

01:31:56.960 And if we like, we can easily go inside with a spy camera.

01:32:01.340 They will have no idea who's doing it, because many people come.

01:32:05.140 We can go and we'll translate the lectures for you.

01:32:08.540 And in fact, there are many agencies right now, like Memory, that are doing this.

01:32:13.060 They're uncovering the truth about these matters.

01:32:15.140 But you have real channels that are concerned about real news that use those clips.

01:32:21.620 And there are those like CNN and so on that will never broadcast the things that are being exposed from within the radical communities in America.

01:32:29.580 What is your life like, you know, being this outspoken?

01:32:35.820 How much danger are you in?

01:32:37.080 Those who watch YouTube videos about me will see that when I walk on the street with my bodyguards,

01:32:45.900 with my security cameras on me, you'll find people spitting at me, wanting to attack me in the middle of the street.

01:32:54.360 This is in Sydney.

01:32:55.540 So I moved to Adelaide because it's a lot smaller and quieter here.

01:32:59.540 But even last Ramadan, we were attacked and ambushed in a restaurant.

01:33:04.340 Muslim leaders here invited me for a meeting.

01:33:08.280 And they said, we want to discuss some of your statements on the media.

01:33:11.920 This was in March.

01:33:13.080 This year I attended.

01:33:14.480 They ambushed me.

01:33:15.260 They assaulted me.

01:33:17.120 Within the meeting, it turned into an interrogation rather than just a discussion.

01:33:21.000 And I refused to stay silent.

01:33:25.660 Australian authorities are really good when it comes to taking control over violence and especially terrorism.

01:33:33.040 They're really good with that.

01:33:34.340 I give them, I commend them on that.

01:33:36.560 But you really can't control radicalization in mosques.

01:33:40.000 You can't.

01:33:40.420 You can't stop an imam from speaking.

01:33:42.800 He believes it's free speech and the child has emotions.

01:33:45.500 And we had a 15-year-old.

01:33:48.520 This is why it's important.

01:33:49.660 We had a 15-year-old called Fahad Jabba went out after listening to two Friday sermons, two Friday prayers in a mosque, 45 minutes each.

01:34:03.140 He acquired a gun and he killed a police officer in front of a police station, a 15-year-old.

01:34:09.980 So we're dealing with a very serious situation over here.

01:34:13.940 And what's happening in New York will happen again and again.

01:34:16.840 We pray that it doesn't, but this is the way the world is going right now.

01:34:20.600 Unless the mayor actually steps up and does something, this is not going to change anytime soon.

01:34:26.320 Imam Tahiti, thank you very much.

01:34:29.420 We pray for you and we wish you the best and remain standing.

01:34:35.380 It will be people like you that will set millions upon millions of people free that believe in Mohammed but want to live a decent, honorable, and peaceful life.

01:34:55.240 We are going to further our conversations with him and I'd like to bring him to the United States and have our cameras follow him and see what he can show us that some people apparently just do not want us to see.

01:35:16.360 More in a minute.

01:35:17.120 Glenn Beck.

01:35:37.460 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:39.340 So we brought Pat from Pat Gray Unleashed, which follows this program on the Blaze Radio Network, which you can listen to for free.

01:35:49.240 Pat, I'm a little puzzled why I have not heard from this imam in the New York Times, the New York Post, the New York Any News.

01:36:01.900 I don't understand that.

01:36:03.340 That's what we've been screaming about for years.

01:36:05.420 For years.

01:36:05.820 Where are the moderate Muslims?

01:36:07.120 Where are the peaceful Muslims?

01:36:08.040 And we have found a few of them.

01:36:09.940 Zutty Jasser is one.

01:36:11.760 Riyaz Patal is one.

01:36:14.420 This is the first imam I think I've heard of.

01:36:16.360 Well, we had one.

01:36:17.440 Remember, we had one when we were in Jerusalem and he was going to come to our, you know, standing with courage thing.

01:36:24.900 And they said, your whole family will be dead before you leave the stage if you go.

01:36:31.500 And so he just stayed at home.

01:36:33.720 Kind of a deterrent.

01:36:34.660 But he did not pull back his endorsement.

01:36:39.240 Yeah.

01:36:39.960 So, but other than him.

01:36:42.160 I don't understand why you wouldn't want to cover that.

01:36:44.180 I don't understand why you wouldn't follow up on that.

01:36:46.840 Doesn't fit the narrative.

01:36:48.100 Doesn't fit the narrative that there are no radicalized mosques.

01:36:52.040 Doesn't fit the narrative that New York is doing everything they can.

01:36:55.220 Doesn't fit the narrative that, you know, you can be, you can be a Islamic mosque getting money from Saudi Arabia, pushing books of Wahhabism and still be okay.

01:37:12.000 Yeah.

01:37:13.720 So I just find this incredible.

01:37:15.980 Well, then the attacks are going to continue.

01:37:17.740 You know, if you're not going to listen to guys like this, this is a gold mine of information.

01:37:24.320 A gold mine.

01:37:24.880 Where he said it's not just one or two people in the mosque who are telling him about these radicals.

01:37:30.700 This is, this is a, this is a double whammy.

01:37:33.040 This is a moderate imam who is saying, I want to help America.

01:37:39.120 Yeah.

01:37:39.320 I want to help.

01:37:39.920 You're on the right track.

01:37:40.820 I want to help.

01:37:41.500 So there's the first one that we've been looking for.

01:37:43.660 And who are his sources?

01:37:46.080 The people in the mosques, the Muslims who are like, you guys don't know what's going on.

01:37:52.220 You don't speak the language.

01:37:53.320 You don't know what's going on.

01:37:54.620 They're hiding this from you.

01:37:55.700 Please help us.

01:37:57.560 I mean, and the, like his standard of what he wants is so low.

01:38:02.460 Hear me out.

01:38:03.760 I'll fly there on my own dime.

01:38:05.380 Hear me out.

01:38:06.020 And he's not looking for anything in return.

01:38:07.380 He's not looking for anything in return.

01:38:08.520 He's letting me give this information.

01:38:10.440 If you think it's nonsense, if you think it's nothing, then move on with your lives.

01:38:13.440 Yeah.

01:38:13.620 You know, but move on with lives instead of, you know, the lack of life, which is kind of

01:38:18.940 the big focus here.

01:38:20.420 This guy is, I can't believe he's still walking around and he's still alive, for one, because

01:38:25.980 he's still in the faith.

01:38:27.720 Um, and that is remarkable in and of itself.

01:38:32.100 And, and the stuff on him is, you know, from, from Islam, not good.

01:38:38.800 Just not, not good.

01:38:40.460 A lot of threats.

01:38:41.480 And yeah, yeah.

01:38:42.180 Not good.

01:38:42.940 Not good.

01:38:43.380 And I will bet that if this guy takes root, you will see care and everybody else start

01:38:50.840 to tear this guy apart.

01:38:52.320 Well, I mean, look, our special interest groups are busy going after the real enemies

01:38:55.980 in this culture.

01:38:57.580 And like, you know, the national anthem, for example, there's something where we can actually.

01:39:01.840 You know what?

01:39:02.260 I am so glad you brought that up because I'm still pissed about that.

01:39:05.900 Yes, yes, yes, you do.

01:39:07.220 Have you heard it?

01:39:08.320 No, it's racist.

01:39:09.340 It's right.

01:39:09.700 Yeah.

01:39:09.820 Thank you.

01:39:10.340 And fortunately, the California chapter of the NAACP is pointing it out and they're insisting

01:39:16.200 that the Congress in California change the national anthem.

01:39:20.520 Actually, they want the U.S. Congress to change the national anthem.

01:39:24.220 To what?

01:39:25.180 It's, uh, they call the song one of the most racist pro-slavery anti-black songs in the American

01:39:32.280 lexicon.

01:39:33.340 I agree.

01:39:33.940 How many times is, uh, is the word black in the national anthem?

01:39:37.340 Higherling or slave.

01:39:37.900 Too many to even count.

01:39:39.540 What?

01:39:39.720 Yeah, it's the-

01:39:40.520 Higherling or slave.

01:39:41.320 It's the third verse.

01:39:42.600 Yes.

01:39:43.020 There are 863 verses in the song.

01:39:46.040 If you ever sang it all, it would take 16 weeks to actually finish.

01:39:49.820 It's real.

01:39:50.120 There's actually, there's actually five verses, usually only four are printed, but the fifth

01:39:55.320 verse was written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, which is all about the blood of the Civil War

01:40:00.520 freeing the slaves.

01:40:02.240 Yeah, that wasn't, yes, that was afterwards.

01:40:04.380 That was like 1862.

01:40:05.920 Um, but this, it says, uh, their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution.

01:40:13.620 No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the

01:40:19.300 grave.

01:40:19.580 So that's thought to be a reference to, uh, slaves in the war of 1812 who sided with the

01:40:26.620 British.

01:40:27.260 You know, they wanted freedom, but Francis Scott Key apparently took exception to that.

01:40:31.860 So, you know, that one line, which is never sung, and I don't think anybody even knows

01:40:36.300 about, is, I guess, perceived as racist.

01:40:39.560 Okay.

01:40:39.920 So drop the third verse and replace it with the fifth.

01:40:42.380 Which is, yes.

01:40:43.360 The fifth verse, the fifth verse is, is great on, on, on, uh, freedom of slaves.

01:40:50.440 May I suggest something that might even be more to their liking?

01:40:52.900 Since this began as a protest on the police, what about NWA's classic song, F the police?

01:41:03.200 Oh, that's.

01:41:04.440 With the poignant lyrics, a young N-word on the warpath, and when I'm finished, it's going

01:41:10.540 to be a bloodbath of cops dying in LA.

01:41:14.940 Yo, Dre, I got something to say.

01:41:17.780 F the police.

01:41:19.220 Wow.

01:41:19.920 F the police.

01:41:21.100 I almost overwhelmed with patriotism.

01:41:24.180 Stop it.

01:41:24.440 Stop it.

01:41:24.960 Stop it.

01:41:25.380 Could you read that last line again, please?

01:41:27.540 Now, I want you to imagine.

01:41:28.260 Pay attention.

01:41:28.860 Pay attention.

01:41:29.800 Don't say anything, Stu.

01:41:30.960 I want you to imagine.

01:41:32.500 Close your eyes and really think about this.

01:41:34.100 Now, go ahead.

01:41:34.520 Because you're right.

01:41:35.200 Read it again.

01:41:35.920 Read it again.

01:41:36.740 When he talked over it, it did lessen the impact.

01:41:39.480 Let me paint the picture for you.

01:41:41.780 Go ahead.

01:41:42.860 Okay.

01:41:43.320 Go ahead.

01:41:44.100 Let me go back to, yo, Dre, I got something to say.

01:41:47.560 F the police.

01:41:49.440 F the police.

01:41:51.600 F the police.

01:41:53.860 F the police.

01:41:58.120 Playball!

01:42:00.060 Is that not poignant and beautiful?

01:42:03.540 There won't be a dry eye in this stadium.

01:42:05.560 Not a dry eye.

01:42:06.940 I'm with you, Pat.

01:42:08.400 I am with you.

01:42:10.320 Wow.

01:42:11.340 I mean, implement it right now.

01:42:12.880 You're welcome.

01:42:13.440 Implement it right now.

01:42:14.560 You're welcome.

01:42:14.940 Hey, wait, wait, wait.

01:42:15.920 I got to get your comments on this.

01:42:17.180 All right.

01:42:17.440 Student versus teacher audio, please.

01:42:20.220 I think this came yesterday.

01:42:22.440 Oh, I love this.

01:42:23.020 See, I love this.

01:42:24.580 This is a teacher trying to tell the student that they are wrong about the definition of

01:42:33.740 terrorism.

01:42:34.620 The teacher is incorrect.

01:42:36.560 And what the teacher says about the dictionary towards the end is unbelievable.

01:42:42.940 If this teacher were teaching my kids, and I don't care if it was about the definition

01:42:50.140 of something that wasn't being politically charged, it was just about, and I had tape, I would

01:42:57.380 right now be saying, you must fire this teacher.

01:43:01.900 Just the sheer arrogance.

01:43:04.420 But listen to the insanity.

01:43:06.540 It's not a terrorist attack when there's no political aim.

01:43:10.460 A terrorist attack, when you, when you commit violence to further a political goal, when

01:43:17.640 you, when you, when you, when you, when you use violence to further a political aim, that

01:43:29.720 is the definition of terrorism.

01:43:31.860 That is the definition of terror.

01:43:33.320 Are you just going to do what the alt-right does?

01:43:37.380 It's everyone else's fault.

01:43:38.180 It's everyone else's fault.

01:43:38.740 It's everyone else's fault.

01:43:39.440 That's what the alt-right does.

01:43:41.400 Terrorism means you can be a white man who is a terrorist.

01:43:46.600 There is domestic terror.

01:43:47.340 Yes, obviously.

01:43:49.080 No one denies that.

01:43:50.720 No one denies that.

01:43:52.200 No one denies that.

01:43:53.860 Yeah, but they have a political aim.

01:43:55.480 The Vegas shooter had, as far as we know, no political aim.

01:44:00.760 Terrorism.

01:44:01.120 The unlawful use of violence, the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially

01:44:05.840 against the villains, in the pursuit of political aim.

01:44:08.080 The Vegas shooter, as far as we know, unless something comes out.

01:44:11.940 Not necessary.

01:44:12.600 What do you mean you're not smarter than the dictionary?

01:44:14.260 Yes, I am.

01:44:15.080 I bet you I am.

01:44:16.700 You're smarter than Miriam Webster.

01:44:22.760 You're smarter than Miriam Webster dictionary.

01:44:24.880 You're smarter than Miriam Webster dictionary.

01:44:25.880 You're smarter than Miriam Webster dictionary.

01:44:26.880 You're smarter than Miriam Webster dictionary.

01:44:27.240 You're smarter than Miriam Webster dictionary.

01:44:27.740 Whoa.

01:44:29.180 Whoa.

01:44:29.580 Whoa.

01:44:29.740 That could be any way.

01:44:32.400 Okay, that's a 12th.

01:44:33.520 That's 12th grade English.

01:44:35.880 That's a 12th grade English class.

01:44:38.080 By the way, in case you aren't watching the show, you're just listening to it, that's not

01:44:41.980 a white kid.

01:44:42.880 That is either an Arab kid or a Hispanic kid.

01:44:45.780 That's not a white kid.

01:44:46.720 Right.

01:44:46.940 Uh, what's, uh, what's the deal here?

01:44:53.440 This is the kind of indoctrination, and once your kids are smart enough to push back, they

01:45:01.140 will win.

01:45:02.200 Yeah.

01:45:02.700 We have to be smart enough to make the logical case, because nobody's ever pushed back against

01:45:11.860 these people, and then they start to have to say things like, I'm smarter than the dictionary.

01:45:15.880 Okay.

01:45:17.160 That's amazing.

01:45:18.300 Um, by the way, if you think that's some right-wing talking point on the definition of terrorism,

01:45:21.820 obviously he cited the dictionary, but listen to this.

01:45:24.700 This is Chris Cuomo on his show.

01:45:26.800 Who is smarter than the dictionary.

01:45:28.160 Now, he's definitely smarter than the dictionary.

01:45:29.980 We know that for a fact.

01:45:31.260 But listen to him the other day talking about terrorism.

01:45:34.800 Uh, one of the things that winds up being prickly here is how we define it.

01:45:39.960 People will say, well, when the brown guy did it in New York City, it's terror, but when

01:45:44.820 the white guy does it, it's not.

01:45:46.220 People misunderstand, I think, the legally, the contextual relationship between the word

01:45:52.240 terrorism and investigations.

01:45:54.340 I've asked you this before.

01:45:55.440 I'm asking you again now.

01:45:56.540 What does it take for something to be terror to investigators?

01:46:00.880 Pretty straightforward.

01:46:02.000 If he's motivated by a political motivation, that is, he's protesting, for example, U.S.

01:46:06.400 engagement in Iraq or Syria.

01:46:08.440 He's protesting racial issues in the United States, which is political.

01:46:11.800 So, that goes into terrorism.

01:46:13.660 If he's simply angry because of something that's happened in his life, maybe similar to what

01:46:18.020 we saw in Las Vegas, that's not terror.

01:46:20.320 That's simple violence, and that's insanity.

01:46:22.760 I'm guessing in this case, we're going to find that he, as the president has suggested,

01:46:26.240 had some mental health issues.

01:46:27.580 That doesn't necessarily take me to terror.

01:46:30.320 I mean, people, I think, confuse who does it with why they do it, and you guys are focused

01:46:34.380 on why it's done and how you can make that manifest in terms of agenda.

01:46:37.820 So, I hate to break it to the 12th grade teacher, but even most likely your god of Chris Cuomo

01:46:47.680 and CNN would agree with the dictionary that maybe, perhaps, you're not as smart as Merriam

01:46:57.040 Webster.

01:46:57.620 As smart as Merriam, but not Webster.

01:46:59.240 I believe that agreeing with Chris Cuomo is also a sign that the fourth horseman of the

01:47:05.260 apocalypse is saddling up and getting ready to ride through town.

01:47:08.760 Oh, I'm looking for wormwood in my telescope tonight.

01:47:13.260 Thanks, Pat.

01:47:15.920 Pat Gray Unleashed on the Blaze Radio and Television Networks coming up in just a few moments.

01:47:22.000 You can get the podcast as well on demand anytime.

01:47:24.960 Blaze.com slash TV or Blaze.com slash radio.

01:47:28.220 Okay, I want to talk to you a little bit about LifeLock.

01:47:30.720 Do you remember, I mean, I've done LifeLock commercials for a long, long time, and I've

01:47:37.500 had LifeLock for a long time, but a lot of times, you know, when it first started, I remember

01:47:45.560 the guy, because I'm pretty sure this is the company that had the CEO that was like, here

01:47:49.660 is my social security number.

01:47:51.980 And we were given our social security number out like water.

01:47:54.660 Everybody was.

01:47:55.480 You know, we didn't even think about it in the time.

01:47:59.320 And then LifeLock came around.

01:48:01.080 You're kind of like, oh, social security number.

01:48:02.620 But then you never really thought, okay, well, somebody is going to steal something from me.

01:48:05.900 I don't have anything to steal.

01:48:07.960 The world has completely changed.

01:48:11.080 And if you don't understand that your life can be turned upside down and that there are,

01:48:16.840 for instance, Russian hackers that are trying to go and get everybody's information,

01:48:22.540 because once they have your identity, you know, your date of birth, your social security,

01:48:29.820 and just a couple of pieces of information, you're toast.

01:48:32.640 They can commit crimes.

01:48:34.460 They can steal from you, but commit crimes in your name, all kinds of stuff.

01:48:40.420 And our children are really vulnerable because they won't find it until they go to apply for

01:48:44.680 their first job.

01:48:46.200 Somebody's been posing as them online in the virtual world for 15 years.

01:48:53.280 Now is the time to get protection.

01:48:56.420 LifeLock uses proprietary technology to help detect a wide range of identity theft.

01:49:01.240 And if there is a problem, they have a U.S.-based identity restoration specialist

01:49:04.660 that will work to fix it.

01:49:06.600 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions.

01:49:10.220 But LifeLock is the best.

01:49:12.420 Go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK and use the promo code BECK.

01:49:28.440 By the way, the president is going to China today.

01:49:44.320 And I have to tell you, the speech that he gave yesterday is making a lot of people nervous.

01:49:52.660 And quite honestly, I mean, I just don't know.

01:49:58.440 I just don't know with him.

01:50:00.820 And that is actually good.

01:50:02.880 I've said for a while, we kind of want our enemies.

01:50:06.000 I'd prefer not our own countrymen, but I prefer our enemies to look at the president and go,

01:50:11.020 I'm not sure he just might do that.

01:50:16.460 What President Trump has done in China or on his Asian trip so far is he has spoken some really tough words over there.

01:50:27.280 And I think he's going into China holding all the cards because I don't think they know if he would just go to war with North Korea or not.

01:50:38.340 And they don't want that.

01:50:39.720 Uh, and, uh, I think this could be Donald Trump may be on track with North Korea, uh, to do what Ronald Reagan did with the Berlin Wall.

01:50:53.840 Say crazy stuff, their evil empire, they're going to be destroyed.

01:50:58.760 Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.

01:51:00.700 Everything he was told not to say, they believed him and they thought he was going to do it.

01:51:07.920 And so they responded and it all came crashing down.

01:51:11.860 I think Donald Trump, if he is playing this game, uh, this may be the best thing that he can do for the nation.

01:51:21.260 And maybe the biggest thing he's done or will do for the United States of America.

01:51:28.500 Either that or he's just crazy.

01:51:31.380 Hopefully that's not it.

01:51:32.420 No, I don't, I don't think it is.

01:51:33.660 He's playing it really well.

01:51:35.100 It's been a year.

01:51:36.080 I know.

01:51:36.520 Today's a year anniversary of the, of election night.

01:51:39.020 And, you know, you could still, if, if you were a betting man one year ago and went on a betting website right at this moment,

01:51:47.900 you could have been given five and a half to one odds for Donald Trump to win the presidency.

01:51:53.860 That's how unlikely it was.

01:51:55.800 And you could say, oh, I knew it was going to happen.

01:51:57.440 Well, you should have taken advantage of it then.

01:51:58.960 Because if you knew you could have cleaned up, uh, because it was five and a half to one on election day while votes are being cast,

01:52:07.080 while exit polls are coming out and he wound up winning, uh, obviously, uh, in a, in probably the most stunning upset,

01:52:15.720 um, with the exception of if you're in the Trump family of, of really any election in, in modern times.

01:52:21.340 And in some ways he has, it's been a better year than I expected.

01:52:26.320 And in some ways a worse year than I expected, but that the worst part is because of the dynamics of all of it.

01:52:34.660 How people are reacting, what he's doing, all of it.

01:52:51.340 How people are reacting, what a life is happening.

01:53:05.700 How people are reacting, what a life is happening.

01:53:15.820 How people are reacting, what I've been opening up these upcoming可能ion,
