Hi, it's Glenn Beck, and it's that time of year when the housing market starts to pick up steam.
00:00:14.460
So, if you have been thinking about selling your home, please know a couple of things.
00:00:18.940
Interest rates are going up. They're going to rise the rest of the year.
00:00:22.960
If you need to sell or you're thinking about it, right now is the time to list your home
00:00:30.820
I started realestateagentsitrust.com because I knew there had to be a better way to sell or buy a home.
00:00:37.220
And with the market average for selling cycle of six to nine months,
00:00:40.740
you need to get a jump on the rest of the market.
00:00:43.040
Competition is going to be stiff this year, but with realestateagentsitrust.com,
00:00:47.600
my team has assembled the agents who I trust, who you can trust,
00:00:51.400
who will get the most money for your home as quickly as possible.
00:00:54.740
At realestateagentsitrust.com, we've taken the guesswork and anxiety out of selling your home.
00:01:06.920
realestateagentsitrust.com is a Mercury Real Estate LLC.
00:01:11.500
Home Title Lock is something that Stu turned me on to,
00:01:15.060
and I immediately called in and got this for my family
00:01:19.780
because, I mean, this is real crime that can be stopped, and nobody's looking at it.
00:01:25.940
Yeah, you're talking about one of the fastest-growing crimes in America.
00:01:30.160
because a lot of this is because it was always possible for this to happen.
00:01:35.220
but it's happening much more because of the titles being stored online.
00:01:38.680
Basically, you know, people from all around the world can go target your home,
00:01:47.220
You're in serious trouble because they're able to take control.
00:01:50.900
They can get home equity loans, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:02:00.680
They have a $100 scan that you can get for free
00:02:06.220
If you have rental properties, this is a big deal as well.
00:02:27.880
Did not have the overwhelming effect that Democrats hoped it would
00:02:33.800
and it didn't have the effect that I think maybe some in the Republican Party
00:02:43.220
Exit polling from Tuesday indicates that immigration was the second most important issue
00:02:51.960
23% of voters said immigration was their top issue.
00:02:59.480
President Trump's reaction to it did have an impact.
00:03:02.560
Though the election is over, the caravan is not turning back.
00:03:08.620
which means more chances for the left to demonize the president.
00:03:12.180
And believe me, if you stand with the president,
00:03:16.700
you are going to look like an Israeli because that is exactly how this is going to be spun.
00:03:23.860
The big bad Israelis against the poor, innocent Palestinians.
00:03:28.760
If you've been wondering exactly why a large immigrant garavan is headed our way in the first place,
00:03:35.800
assuming for a moment that is not just a political stunt,
00:03:39.240
the story in the Washington Post has finally solved the mystery.
00:03:44.280
The Washington Post reports it's climate change.
00:03:54.580
Stu, shame on you for not seeing that this was climate change.
00:03:58.600
A lot of thousands of migrants move all over the world when 0.9 degrees Celsius changes over a century.
00:04:08.360
Climate change is wreaking havoc on rural Honduras and pushing people north.
00:04:15.900
The story claims an unpredictable climate has ruined crops and created environmental challenges
00:04:21.700
for millions of Honduran farmers to survive the bad harvests.
00:04:26.840
People are fleeing to cities and even north to the U.S.
00:04:31.080
According to the story, Honduras is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world.
00:04:39.220
All of that climate change just focused right there on Honduras.
00:04:47.080
Farmers dealing with drought, unpredictable weather.
00:04:58.780
Yeah, that's totally new in world history, isn't it?
00:05:02.320
Humans have never had to deal with an area that has drought.
00:05:10.040
It definitely feels like just another way to toss some more fuel on this progressive bonfire.
00:05:19.220
One of the left's favorite fundraising causes, along with the experts.
00:05:26.680
I mean, when you think about it, combining two hotbed leftist issues, migrant caravans and climate change.
00:05:46.680
Well, we'll talk about that as we begin our program.
00:06:06.140
You are, I rely on you for the climate change thing.
00:06:12.160
I think if we just kind of start the show every day with climate change is responsible for whatever terrible thing happened that day.
00:06:18.380
We're going to go, we're going to go the right direction.
00:06:22.340
No, no media source would ever be upset with us.
00:06:34.640
All of the global warming and the global climate change really centering, centering right there on Honduras.
00:06:40.840
Honduras is the worst affected, which is strange, not Guatemala, which is right next door.
00:06:53.800
But Honduras, all of the global climate change is happening right there.
00:07:07.460
Because I don't know how to do my job if I have to babysit everybody, if I have to pick sides.
00:07:22.280
And I can't tell you how many times I have said as a parent, and maybe it's just me, because I'm sure I'm the only one that has this problem.
00:07:31.060
Where one of the kids will run in to mom or dad and say, evaded.
00:07:41.160
And then the other one will run in and say, no, it's this.
00:07:46.320
And eventually they say, well, they started it.
00:07:51.960
And I'm sure I'm the only parent ever that has said, I don't care who started it.
00:08:11.860
Now, what happens when a parent says, oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh.
00:08:36.360
Family generally falls apart when the parent picks a favorite.
00:08:53.420
You have a whole town and an entire industry that needs you as a parent to stand up and say,
00:09:11.720
I'm going to take you through the Jim Acosta story, but I want you to hear the whole clip.
00:09:16.960
I don't want you to hear just what CNN is playing or just what the right is playing.
00:09:24.140
I want you to hear the whole clip because we have two children.
00:09:35.420
We have one child that the school calls almost every day and say, you will not believe what your child is doing today.
00:09:42.320
And you want to take that child in and and say every day.
00:09:57.120
But you also have a conflict between another one.
00:10:03.840
Another one of your children is a big fat bully.
00:10:10.020
The school says they're both bullies and you can see that.
00:10:22.980
I want to see the whole because this is a time when usually you don't have this in a family.
00:10:34.940
Let's sit down and I'm going to show you what each of you did and you both deserve a time out.
00:10:45.860
Now I'm going to get to that here in just a second.
00:10:47.980
First, let me stop and tell you about our sponsor this half hour, because once my parenting skills begin, I cannot have them interrupted.
00:10:58.080
And remember, parents, we have to stick together.
00:11:03.180
If one of the children come to us and ask to pull us apart, the whole thing pulls apart.
00:11:20.460
Hey, by the way, let me just give you a couple of things here.
00:11:25.100
U.S. Japan plan on military response to Chinese incursions.
00:11:31.540
World's largest asset manager warns dollar days as global reserve currency are numbered.
00:11:38.260
British troops now have to be foreign nationals because nobody is signing up to defend Great Britain.
00:11:44.740
And Italian people must understand their country is already at war.
00:11:48.460
How the Saudis crushed a rival in a shakedown at the Ritz-Carlton.
00:11:52.920
And it looks like they killed another journalist.
00:12:00.860
Oh, by the way, in Thousand Oaks, California, this is where the Kardashian live.
00:12:06.120
This is a very, very, very well to do neighborhood.
00:12:17.020
What do you say you prepare for the eventuality that maybe things spiral out of control for a little while?
00:12:23.260
You need a plan for food storage, water filtration, emergencies, protection from disasters, survival tools.
00:12:38.420
They've helped millions of Americans just like you become more self-reliant.
00:12:45.380
My Patriot Supply sells hundreds of items, including emergency food kits, gravity powered water filtration systems, all at my Patriot Supply dot com.
00:13:06.180
I have found now that I have kids that are between the ages of 13 and 30, there's a few secrets.
00:13:15.080
And one is kids are going to run into the room and they're going to blame each other for everything.
00:13:21.500
And if you accept one over the other and don't say, stop it.
00:13:31.140
I know you are always whining and saying that your brother is doing this and you are playing it up.
00:13:47.740
If you don't do that, you're going to start to build resentment in one side or the other.
00:13:56.600
And I don't care who started it, who is going to stop it.
00:14:01.280
So let me play the entire Jim Acosta piece here, because everybody's playing selected pieces and including Alex Jones, who is now speeding it up to make it look worse than it even was.
00:14:17.100
Here's the beginning of the president's press conference yesterday where he's calling on Jim Acosta from CNN.
00:14:25.240
I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign.
00:14:36.320
I want to challenge you on one of the things you said on the campaign.
00:14:42.180
As far as I'm concerned, the journalist's job is to possibly challenge, you know, I want to push you a little bit and challenge you on something you said.
00:14:53.280
I understand that, but that's not what's coming.
00:14:55.340
If you want to be an advocate, then get out of the press corps.
00:15:01.240
If you want to ask questions, then that is the perfect place for you.
00:15:20.940
If you don't mind, Mr. President, that this caravan.
00:15:23.780
This is where the president said, come on, come on.
00:15:32.960
Now, Jim Acosta is also tired of the president.
00:15:43.300
As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.
00:15:48.120
You notice he said, you know, I want to challenge you on the fact that it was an invasion.
00:16:09.540
Well, let me play the next line from the president, which is still completely accurate, under control and his prerogative.
00:16:23.480
As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion.
00:16:25.540
It's a it's a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.
00:16:31.940
And why did you why did you characterize it as such?
00:16:53.000
No one can have a different opinion than whomever is speaking.
00:17:08.140
I don't accept what you're saying because it differs than my it's different than mine.
00:17:29.300
An invasion usually conjures up the image of an armed insurgency crossing a border.
00:17:47.220
Or does that mean somebody coming in who is not welcome?
00:17:53.640
I think it conjures up a mass, you know, weapons and things like that when you first think of it.
00:17:58.260
However, there are several, I think, definitions here.
00:18:00.700
And certainly at least one of them, I think, fits.
00:18:06.300
An instance of invading a country or region with armed force.
00:18:14.700
But that is the only definition that the press on the left is willing to accept.
00:18:24.260
An incursion by a large number of people or things into a place or sphere of activity.
00:18:30.860
That is a completely accurate description of what they're doing.
00:18:42.280
So we have two definitions against one of the same word.
00:18:46.940
I think you can make the argument that it's not the most productive way to talk about it.
00:18:51.440
But I mean, the bottom line is it's not inaccurate.
00:18:57.880
Now, I don't have a problem with using that word because I'm defining it as definition two and three.
00:19:06.360
However, others can see it this this other way.
00:19:10.040
And so if you want to make progress, I guess you could watch your language and not use it.
00:19:16.620
However, I'm sick and tired of the left telling me what language I can and cannot use.
00:19:33.540
I'm sick of you telling me what a mob is and what a mob isn't.
00:19:38.520
I'm sick of you telling me of what a man is and what a man isn't.
00:19:43.800
I'm sick of you of telling me what an invasion is and what it isn't.
00:19:50.500
Now, we can have a conversation and you can say to me, Glenn, I disagree with you on the invasion and we can have a reasonable conversation and I can say, well, we have a difference of opinion.
00:20:14.920
I know now the press is saying that it was global warming, but that's complete and total.
00:20:21.380
Oh, I wish I wasn't on the airwaves to use the proper term for this.
00:20:31.600
This is a political event that has everything to do with the politics in Honduras.
00:20:44.820
I think that you demonized immigrants in this election to try to keep them.
00:20:49.240
I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally.
00:20:52.000
You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process.
00:20:54.060
I want it to be a process and I want people to come in and we need the people.
00:21:11.260
Now, he's saying because companies are coming in and we're going to need more jobs.
00:21:18.720
Maybe he knows something I don't know, but it is legitimate.
00:21:27.540
What in life that is important does not have a process?
00:21:39.800
Do you have a cash register or you just say grab what you want on the shelf and throw the money in the air or put it on that shelf or come to that cash register?
00:21:56.940
But there's so much more we haven't even started yet.
00:22:15.460
And we're taking Glenn Beck's parenting class 101.
00:22:19.880
Because let's just say that I have experience in things like this.
00:22:23.340
Let's just imagine for a second that I have two younger children.
00:22:30.820
And Cheyenne is constantly needling Rafe constantly and does everything she can just to get under his skin, knowing that he has a temper and he's going to lash out.
00:22:48.600
Rafe, knowing that he is far from a saint on this, he also needles his sister.
00:23:08.120
Now, let's look at Jim Acosta and Donald Trump.
00:23:11.400
I don't know what that story of Rafe and Cheyenne have to do with these two.
00:23:16.060
We're hearing now one of them, let's say the Rafe, Donald Trump, who has a temper and who is not an angel by any stretch of the imagination.
00:23:31.100
Let's say he's Cheyenne, who is constantly needling just to get under his skin.
00:23:39.320
The Rafe character, Donald Trump, is answering the Cheyenne character, Jim Acosta, and is trying just to.
00:23:53.600
And trying to answer properly, trying to answer nicely.
00:23:57.820
But Jim Acosta just wants to be an advocate, not a journalist.
00:24:02.120
So let's pick it up where he started to say, you accused everybody of, you know, you're a racist because you were just throwing these poor migrant workers under the bus with a video.
00:24:15.780
I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally.
00:24:18.440
You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process.
00:24:28.200
Because we have hundreds of companies moving in.
00:24:32.000
Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on.
00:24:43.860
How is it that they're not going to be doing that?
00:24:48.480
It was a video of these, quote, unquote, migrants doing that to get into Guatemala and Mexico.
00:24:55.900
So, what evidence do you have that they will not be doing this to America?
00:25:31.180
Just like, I guess, Jim, we could say the pipe bomber was hundreds and hundreds of miles away from you.
00:25:37.100
The Soviet Union was thousands and thousands of miles away.
00:25:41.400
You know, there is such a thing as spotting trouble before it is on your doorstep.
00:25:47.480
The Nazis were hundreds and thousands of miles away.
00:26:03.520
Honestly, I think they should let me run the country.
00:26:07.400
And if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.
00:26:10.100
Now, he says he's about to say, what is the first thing you say?
00:26:14.400
If you want to have two questions with the president, when you stand up, what is the first thing you say?
00:26:24.140
Mr. President, I have a question and a follow up.
00:26:38.140
Mr. President, if I may ask one other question.
00:26:51.360
Now, this is when the White House made its mistake later with Sarah Sanders.
00:26:56.200
They are trying to say that Jim Acosta accosted this woman.
00:27:10.640
Yes, because all he cares about is grandstanding.
00:27:17.680
You know, people in the press say all the time now.
00:27:24.920
The president asked and answered his questions.
00:27:32.040
Now he's not going to surrender the microphone.
00:27:34.560
Let me ask you what happens when you are at a lecture series and they take questions from
00:27:40.520
Eventually, the crowd says, shut up and sit down, but not here because the crowd is against
00:28:02.240
He walks away from the microphone so he doesn't say anything stupid.
00:28:08.140
He walks away from the microphone, hoping that someone will say, come on, Jim, knock it off.
00:28:16.140
He sends in the person to take the microphone to be able to pass it to the next journalist.
00:28:23.240
When you're at a comedy club, do you want some decorum?
00:28:27.620
You're at a lecture, comedy club, press conference, college classes, and they say, mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check.
00:28:42.700
If you don't have some sort of decorum, if you don't have some sort of rule, then you have anarchy.
00:28:52.920
Maybe that's why CNN doesn't have a problem with Antifa, because they are creating anarchy everywhere they go.
00:29:02.260
Now, I am not saying that Donald Trump isn't a spoiled little brat at times.
00:29:20.820
I'd like CNN to know, and Jim Acosta, I would just like to know, do you have a process or can anybody just get on the air?
00:29:28.280
Because if this is the way it is, I'm going to just stand by your live broadcast.
00:29:52.040
Did the president go on and did he lose his temper?
00:30:24.020
Because I don't know about you, but I can't find a good guy or a bad guy in yesterday's press conference.
00:30:30.660
I think the advantage goes to the president because the president tried to be civil.
00:30:42.980
Is he just going to let Jim Acosta take the press conference and hijack it every time Jim Acosta wants to hijack it?
00:31:00.160
They should fire him or they should have at least suspended him and say we do not treat any president.
00:31:13.320
Would you have accepted anyone, anyone from standing up and saying these kinds of things to President Obama's press conference or President Obama himself?
00:31:25.780
Anyone, if he would have said enough, enough, enough, sit down, Mr. President, you are lying.
00:31:34.480
You are lying about twenty five hundred dollars coming back to every family.
00:31:45.020
Are you telling me you would have accepted a Fox reporter in the press pool saying that to the president of the United States?
00:31:52.960
And you would have said, oh, no, you've got to you've got to stand up.
00:31:57.200
We all have to stand up behind that Fox reporter.
00:32:06.480
We remember what happened when someone who was not restrained by journalistic rules, just another congressman, said you lie.
00:32:17.980
And by the way, that claim wound up being in part of Hillary Clinton's platform when she was running for president.
00:32:22.660
The claim that that that Barack Obama supposedly was what he was lying about there.
00:32:31.080
It was a story about how racist this congressman was.
00:32:34.400
I mean, look, I don't I'm with you and I don't think either either one of them handles it well.
00:32:39.940
I don't know why the president elevates Jim Acosta.
00:32:45.220
When you when you ban him, he's just going to turn into a martyr.
00:32:56.860
Here's here's the only part that I didn't like is when he said he said, you're a you're a rude.
00:33:03.740
You're a rude little man or something like that.
00:33:05.900
He said you're rude, rude and terrible person, terrible person.
00:33:21.680
Well, Mr. President, don't go there because you don't have a good record of that yourself.
00:33:32.180
He extended the courtesy because he's a well-known guy.
00:33:42.660
He already asked three either three or four questions when he still wanted another one.
00:33:49.080
And then they finally tried to take the microphone from him.
00:33:55.480
This is honestly somebody standing up in a comedy club and trying to hijack the show.
00:34:23.740
However, CNN would have said, oh, you're not calling on us.
00:34:32.080
Once he called on him, what is the president supposed to do?
00:34:37.740
What happens all the time with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, right?
00:34:41.480
And she just she talks over them and she points to another reporter.
00:34:44.220
And then she comes back and they keep talking and you just keep doing it.
00:34:54.480
It's something we've all priced into who he is.
00:34:56.360
And I think we've all priced in that Jim Acosta is a ridiculous grandstander.
00:35:01.840
He's out there trying to make a name for himself.
00:35:05.020
He takes pictures of himself in the mirror every other day.
00:35:15.520
Now, all the reporters have each other's backs, which is also bad, by the way.
00:35:19.920
Just like you complain about when the president, you know, and all the president's supporters
00:35:24.000
support him no matter what, you should also be critical occasionally of reporters when
00:35:29.580
But I mean, again, there are we are critical of a lot of the reporters that that cover the
00:35:34.560
White House and do, you know, the people who cover everything there.
00:35:39.320
Everybody else seems to be able to handle this interaction.
00:35:42.560
Every other reporter seems to be able to ask their questions and not try to puff their
00:35:47.160
chest up and make themselves into the most important person in America.
00:35:54.460
And by the way, CNN didn't really have anything to say about the reporter that called him
00:36:13.000
Do you go and say you can no longer come into the White House?
00:36:15.480
That's what they did to Acosta after this transaction.
00:36:26.160
Because honestly, it's not another reporter, CNN, if you want another reporter.
00:36:30.160
I can understand why CNN would be like, look, we choose our reporters.
00:36:33.320
You don't get to tell us who our reporters are.
00:36:41.360
You're elevating him to the same level as the freaking president of the United States.
00:36:45.760
Here's what they here's what he should have done.
00:36:59.680
I'm not calling on him until until you tell me he is going to abide.
00:37:06.200
He doesn't have to agree with me, but he has to abide by simple standards of decorum.
00:37:20.980
Pat, I'm sorry we didn't get a really chance to talk to you today, but Pat Gray from Pat
00:37:33.540
That's probably the most profound thing I've said all week.
00:37:42.900
SimpliSafe is a great way to protect your home.
00:37:52.440
SimpliSafe is a way to protect your house or your business, your family.
00:38:03.260
And when you see how affordable this system is and you know what you've been paying every
00:38:08.340
month, it's going to, I mean, it's, it's an, it's going to make you not so happy for a
00:38:14.020
while, but then you'll own the system and you only pay $14.99 a month if you want the
00:38:32.000
Imagine yourself a week from now driving around in a brand new Mercedes.
00:38:36.480
That could happen if you buy a raffle ticket for Mercury One.
00:38:44.120
This, this raffle helps us pay for all, you know, all the expenses.
00:38:47.880
So everything we raise for emergencies goes to that emergency.
00:38:52.100
Get a raffle, a raffle ticket for a brand new Mercedes now at MercuryOne.org slash M1
00:39:05.300
The great, the wonderful Beyonce wants you to know that she can be whatever she wants,
00:39:12.900
Sure, she's a musician, and if you count 22 Grammys and 63 Grammy nominations, it's fair
00:39:20.720
to say that she is considered pretty darn good.
00:39:24.460
Although, who's to say how much she actually writes or performs, besides singing and occasionally
00:39:33.400
But Beyonce wants you to know she's more than just a mega singing dancing superstar.
00:39:48.140
If she wants to be an academic, voila, she is done.
00:39:52.920
A few years ago, around the time that she appeared on an award show in Gilded Lingerie,
00:39:59.200
in front of a sign that said, feminist, Beyonce wrote an academic paper titled,
00:40:09.580
And yes, she used an exclamation point after the word myth.
00:40:22.100
Now, know that Beyonce happens to be one of the most privileged people on the face of the
00:40:26.400
earth, but she never has to check that privilege at the door.
00:40:33.420
One of the many roles that Beyonce has awarded herself is political activist, and she's one
00:40:42.680
She prances around the world, spouting off what some lower citizens might say is nonsense,
00:40:50.600
because she's a professor of political science.
00:40:59.780
She might even say that she's a longtime politician with all kinds of experience.
00:41:08.980
Believe me, her opinions matter more than yours.
00:41:13.260
See, that's what you really need to understand, America.
00:41:17.880
America, you need to understand these people are better than you.
00:41:24.840
Now, this, I suppose, little misunderstanding with you, the little people in the country,
00:41:32.680
is why she has now been named the most divisive celebrity in the country.
00:41:39.900
You know, to this American broadcaster, she's not divisive.
00:41:53.400
Because I don't give a flying crap about Beyonce.
00:42:08.120
But she's generally not on any program that I would be interested in.
00:42:17.480
I don't follow anyone that generally would be all wrapped up in what Beyonce says.
00:42:28.360
And for that, I fall to my knees and thank God.
00:42:33.520
But actors and musicians have always, always done this weird thing where they interpret their fame
00:42:45.840
Because, well, of course I'm not a race car driver, but I've played a race car driver.
00:42:53.140
Of course I'm not a president in the nuclear bunker, but I've played one.
00:42:59.400
People in their minds worship them for their abilities as an actor or musician.
00:43:05.000
They assume that they possess unlimited knowledge and that their opinions matter more than,
00:43:11.360
oh, I don't know, someone with actual knowledge.
00:43:14.380
We're all quite familiar with this Beyonce act.
00:43:18.800
Leading up to the midterms, Comedy Central poked fun at this.
00:43:22.740
All Americans are asking themselves the same questions.
00:43:33.720
Yes, but that isn't what this is about right now.
00:43:36.520
Telling regular Americans that they have to vote.
00:43:38.640
Many normal Americans like us don't know what we should do until celebrities tell us what to do.
00:43:44.860
And as a quasi-celebrity myself, I can tell you that that joke is funny.
00:43:52.740
And you should follow the advice of quasi-celebrities.
00:43:58.080
The justice now is that people have come to see through the cloud of smugness coming from celebrities.
00:44:08.260
This week's elections proved people no longer are swayed by celebrity endorsements.
00:44:20.360
And all of her fawning over Democratic Governor Phil What's-His-Face just wasn't enough to win him the spot.
00:44:31.800
The same thing happened with candidates endorsed by Dave Chappelle, who is really funny.
00:44:38.800
But I don't need to have Dave Chappelle tell me what to do.
00:44:46.220
You've got to run Oprah Winfrey because she's the ultimate goddess celebrity.
00:44:52.020
Everybody loves Oprah, except she couldn't get the job done.
00:44:57.260
Will Ferrell, most famous probably for dressing as an elf, tried to get everybody to, you know, vote his way.
00:45:09.560
Rihanna, Puff Daddy, and scores of other Hollywood elite who championed Beto.
00:45:18.620
Little odd that so many Hollywood actors were fawning over a candidate in a Texas election, but they were.
00:45:25.700
Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News,
00:45:29.620
Last night, the American voters once again told Hollywood that they simply do not care what they think.
00:45:37.580
All across the country, Hollywood darlings were rejected by the voters.
00:45:47.620
Your opinion is no more valuable than anyone else's.
00:45:51.340
We all have armpits, just like we all have opinions.
00:45:55.880
Most of us have two armpits, but I don't think anybody wants to smell mine, even one of them.
00:46:08.840
Keep your armpits and your opinions to yourself, unless you're a quasi-celebrity that makes his money, and it is his primary job to spout political opinions.
00:46:26.060
You see, it seems, strangely, because my opinion really is not worth any more than anyone else's, people come here to hear that opinion.
00:46:39.800
I know it's weird and strange, but it makes me feel just a little superior to the Hollywood celebrity.
00:46:53.400
And for that, too, I fall to my knees and thank God.
00:47:21.300
I don't know about her sister, Melissa, but Alyssa Milano is a pretty good...
00:47:28.020
They were the twins that played in Full House, were they not?
00:47:33.640
I was completely in love with her when she was on Who's the Boss.
00:47:39.020
She might have had her way romantically with me when she was in...
00:47:43.120
Well, for you, I don't think it would be very appropriate.
00:47:45.960
For me, I feel like it was probably okay at the time.
00:47:50.120
She's very, very pretty and very well appreciated by the male species, I would say.
00:48:03.840
I would say her understanding of political issues occasionally leaves something to be desired.
00:48:18.560
Because when I was like eight, I would have thought it would have been the greatest thing
00:48:21.040
in the world that I could have spent the rest of my life with Alyssa Milano.
00:48:24.060
I would not have made it to this age if I had to spend the rest.
00:48:27.200
I would have either disappeared or terrible things would have been...
00:48:37.520
So Alyssa Milano has been a big Me Too booster.
00:48:41.840
And she has been part of the Women's March as well.
00:48:45.440
And if you remember, the Women's March is this organization, fabulous organization, that
00:48:48.540
took all the time to decipher the positives and negatives of Donald Trump's pregnancy,
00:48:52.540
that they launched a giant rally, planned it all before he became president, and then
00:48:56.880
had the rally the day of or after his inauguration.
00:49:06.660
Because that shows that they were really, really deciphering how positive his pregnancy.
00:49:16.520
But an interesting part of this, one of the criticisms she's had from us and many others
00:49:27.460
And the Women's March crew is led by two people who overtly have hung out and said words of
00:49:38.840
praise to Louis Farrakhan and about Louis Farrakhan.
00:49:42.000
That's a problem to me because you can't say that you're pro-woman or that you're, you
00:49:48.500
can't criticize someone else for being an anti-Semite when you're hanging with people
00:49:53.120
Because there's probably no single higher profile anti-Semite in America than Louis Farrakhan.
00:49:59.820
That includes the person you never heard about in Charlottesville until they were on the
00:50:04.440
It includes every horrible talk show host that you think...
00:50:08.600
Have we already deported that ex-Auschwitz guard?
00:50:22.560
Well, I don't know that we could say Farrakhan has the most ardent anti-Semitic views.
00:50:28.300
However, he is the best known and most influential anti-Semite in America.
00:50:34.220
I mean, Richard Spencer is not even remotely close to the sort of impact.
00:50:38.140
Richard Spencer got like 50 people to Charlottesville.
00:50:43.380
Now, again, maybe there was only 300,000, but still, it was a lot of people.
00:50:48.040
The guy has incredible influence and can still, to this day, pull giant crowds, a lot bigger
00:50:55.200
So, Louis Farrakhan, one of the worst anti-Semites in America, and he...
00:51:02.920
Well, Alyssa, again, I'm not sure, but Alyssa...
00:51:07.340
Well, I don't know what Melissa thinks, I will say, but Alyssa, you know, which is the
00:51:19.760
Why are you associating with the Women's March people?
00:51:22.240
She is now saying, and I would say a relatively surprising moment, she is now disavowing the
00:51:30.900
Women's March leaders until that time where Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour actually step
00:51:43.680
Now, did Melissa Alano have any influence on her sister and this decision?
00:51:51.880
Did she marry someone named Alano instead of Milano?
00:52:04.520
Look, I think your interest in her name is the appropriate amount of interest we should
00:52:09.840
Yes, I mean, we've just spent eight minutes on this story.
00:52:12.200
I will say, though, I mean, the fact that she's actually doing something and stepping
00:52:19.220
Now, the line is all the way over to Louis Farrakhan.
00:52:22.900
And at least there's a line for a celebrity when it comes to just selling yourself out
00:52:33.300
What is his stance on all things political today?
00:52:39.180
I would be much more interested in Tony Danson.
00:52:41.180
I bet he probably is interesting on politics, to be honest.
00:52:45.060
He's had some time now to think about, you know, these things.
00:52:53.740
And the fact that she may be figuring out that Louis Farrakhan, not a good person.
00:53:00.760
The fact that she's figuring those things out, I think, is a positive.
00:53:19.000
Could I just play just real quick, before we take a break, the montage of the Democrats
00:53:35.320
And I think we're going to see a real blue wave.
00:53:38.400
There's an enormous tsunami-like blue wave coming.
00:53:42.740
Can the president save his party and knock down that blue wave?
00:53:48.120
There was some hope that the Democrats would have a wave election.
00:53:55.880
I don't think we're seeing some massive blue wave.
00:54:03.000
In these statewide races, no signature win for Democrats.
00:54:07.940
Democrats are not winning in the way they were hoping to win early in the night.
00:54:17.080
And eventually, Jack, in this particular blue wave story, played by the Democratic Socialists, is kicked off the bedboard because there's no room and quietly freezes to death, I think, with Nancy Pelosi on the bedboard saying, goodbye, Jack.
00:54:42.480
Well, this is what they did, essentially, to all the Kavanaugh accusers.
00:54:46.680
The second the election was over and Kavanaugh was in, they will never worry about that one again.
00:55:03.420
Saying something about, I don't know anything about her.
00:55:06.720
Well, it's good to see that they are at least consistent.
00:55:10.740
Let me talk to you a little bit about Goldline.
00:55:12.980
The Democrats are going to elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, making her the most powerful House leader, as well as third in line for presidential secession, which.
00:55:28.540
I mean, you know, maybe smallpox breaks out and Nancy Pelosi can can lead us into the next great epic of American life.
00:55:38.640
Democrats have been granted one of the most powerful weapons available, the power of congressional subpoena.
00:55:45.420
They are just going to start subpoenaing the president on everything.
00:55:48.660
Everything they are already going after, you know, Maxine Waters, Maxine Waters is a committee chairman, and she is now starting already.
00:55:59.340
She said yesterday she is going to start subpoenaing the records for Deutsche Bank and all the other banking records.
00:56:06.400
And they are going to pour over everything with Donald Trump.
00:56:21.780
May I suggest that you visit Goldline now, read the report that they have just generated.
00:56:28.340
I've been sharing it with my friends, and I urge you to get it.
00:56:33.560
Just just get this report because it outlines what most likely is coming our way and what it will mean for the economy, what it means for the dollar and what it means to you.
00:56:45.380
If you have any job, you count on one or maybe you like to spend dollars.
00:57:02.280
Okay, I just found out some very important news.
00:57:10.840
Michael Buble is on tour, and he's coming to Dallas on the 25th of March, and there's nothing.
00:57:16.420
I don't think there's anything more important than that, honestly.
00:57:22.000
He is the best performer I've ever seen, and he's the only celebrity that I completely geek out over.
00:57:32.820
It's uncomfortable, too, because you actually talked to him, had him on the show several times.
00:57:37.920
Every time I do something really like we use on the CNN show, spent an hour with him on the CNN show and completely geeked out.
00:57:46.640
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not going to sing with you.
00:57:52.840
Not with him, because I'm such a geek around him.
00:57:56.140
He was on the TV show on Fox, and he basically said off air, I'm getting married.
00:58:04.960
But I didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable situation because I'm such a geek.
00:58:15.460
You usually, you know, reveal terrible inside secrets you're not supposed to.
00:58:23.840
It's at least a good portion of the reason you don't have friends.
00:58:26.980
There's a lot of other things, too, that would be ingredients into that little recipe.
00:58:45.900
I didn't see any weird interactions that you had with him.
00:59:11.560
We have to talk about what happened in California yesterday.
00:59:16.520
I don't want to go in depth in it because we don't know anything yet.
00:59:22.900
We think we have a couple of details on the shooter.
00:59:44.040
It happened in Thousand Oaks, California, which is is where the Kardashians live.
00:59:49.880
It's it's where all the, you know, big celebrities live.
00:59:55.940
And it is a I can't say rural area, but it is, you know, it has horse farms there.
01:00:04.680
Uh, and it's supposedly the place where you go if you want to have a normal life.
01:00:14.340
We don't know anything about it other than it was a horrible, horrible tragedy.
01:00:21.220
We think the guy was a vet and, uh, before everybody jumps on guns and before everybody jumps on the VA, even we should know the story.
01:00:35.100
But if he was a vet and he had PTSD, we should probably talk about that before we talk about guns.
01:00:46.380
You can't just wind someone up, teach them to kill, teach them to kill for a purpose.
01:00:57.580
Give them meaning in their life and say, you are good at this and then just send them home and go like, okay, well, you were great at that.
01:01:08.060
And that had a lot of meaning, but, uh, yeah, just go, uh, go find yourself a job.
01:01:13.880
These guys come home and they had real meaning.
01:01:19.880
They felt at least they used to, I don't know if they do now, but they felt as if they were doing something good for humanity.
01:01:27.960
They were actually changing the world for the better.
01:01:34.240
And then they come back and what they, can you imagine your life is on the line every day?
01:01:41.160
You're fighting for something big and you come back and you're arguing over a stupid tweet.
01:01:48.160
And these guys are coming back to a, to a country.
01:01:52.060
Imagine being out, uh, in a foreign country for the last four years.
01:02:08.280
So we don't know anything about this and I don't, I don't think we should talk about, uh, much more of it until we do.
01:02:16.720
I mean, I don't think there's anything to add there.
01:02:18.400
You, uh, you, you, you hit it and we'll, when we have more details, we'll give them to you.
01:02:33.380
It said, contrary to the promise I made myself in 2016 about not voting for the lesser of two evils, I'm voting for the Republican side of the Democrat Republican party on November 6th.
01:02:48.000
It's not because I trust the Republican side of the one party system, as he calls it, but rather because the Democratic side scares the hell out of me.
01:02:57.240
No, I don't trust 90% of the Republican side of the party in office to protect our freedoms, but rather they may not erode them as fast as the socialist, fascist, Democratic side.
01:03:10.220
I have to tell you, this is exactly how I felt.
01:03:14.200
I usually go in and when I vote, um, I never vote party line.
01:03:20.560
Um, I look at everybody and if I don't know somebody, I'll usually throw it to the libertarian.
01:03:25.500
Um, but in, in this case, I didn't, I ended up with an exception of, I think one person, uh, which I voted libertarian.
01:03:37.140
I think I voted straight Republican, which I don't, I've, I've never done.
01:03:46.480
I mean, it was like, I don't know if I throw it to the libertarian, they may, they may block, uh, they may block the Republican for getting it.
01:03:55.500
And I, we cannot afford to have democratic socialists in power.
01:04:01.520
I mean, it's someone who's obviously done a lot of thinking about.
01:04:10.460
People, uh, sometimes would be like, well, you don't like Trump or you don't like Trump enough or whatever.
01:04:15.460
And then they'll say, you, you're one of those people who loves Bush.
01:04:18.860
Jeb Bush was actually the reason we did this on the air.
01:04:22.680
We said, I am not voting for freaking Jeb Bush.
01:04:24.680
I'm not voting for another generic Republican next time.
01:04:27.800
At that time, that's who everyone believed was going to be the winner.
01:04:38.140
I was just like, I can't, I can't, I can't do it.
01:04:47.840
The Republican side claims to be for lower taxes and a very few for reducing spending when campaigning,
01:04:57.720
For instance, the Republican side promised to repeal Obamacare.
01:05:00.900
Instead, they tweaked it by getting rid of the individual mandate.
01:05:04.200
They modestly reduced taxes, but they could have gone a lot further having the House, Senate
01:05:09.140
and presidency with tariffs on foreign imports.
01:05:13.240
I think Glenn Beck says, oh, I didn't even know I was in this.
01:05:15.300
I think Glenn Beck says they've counteracted the benefits of the tax cuts.
01:05:19.500
The Republican side promised to end the funding of Planned Parenthood, the abortion mill to
01:05:28.660
Again, I'm voting for the Republican side of the Democrat Republican Party on November
01:05:34.480
6th, not because I trust them, but because the Democratic side of the party scares the
01:05:42.960
Incredibly common in the United States right now.
01:05:48.680
I think the Democrats and I think I think what we saw happening with the the results show
01:06:03.500
this, that in the Romney sections, you know, the people who voted for Romney in the Obama
01:06:13.140
They did not want the diehard Donald Trump people.
01:06:19.100
OK, and in the in the rest of the country, they did not want the diehard Democratic Socialist.
01:06:29.420
They want somebody who is just like, can we just please work together?
01:06:33.620
And I don't want to work together with the with the extremes of the party.
01:06:44.120
I'd like us to consider, you know, abolishing the Senate, which is something they actually
01:07:02.740
I mean, you need a constitutional amendment, right?
01:07:06.080
I mean, no, you I don't think you could even do that in the constitutional amendments.
01:07:17.020
The progressives changed the makeup of of the Senate to vote for voting for senators.
01:07:22.200
And what they want is, you know, the small states to have fewer senators than the big
01:07:29.500
Well, that's called the House of Representatives.
01:07:39.840
They've dismantled it because the country should not have cared about Beto.
01:07:45.200
In fact, the country should not have cared about Ted Cruz either.
01:07:48.320
The country should not care about the Senate races because the reason why and the the
01:07:55.980
progressives changed this around the turn of the century.
01:07:58.940
Um, the the Senate was originally appointed by each state house.
01:08:06.340
So they would pick two people from the state and they would say that the state house would
01:08:12.500
they would say you to go to Washington and your job is make sure you protect the interests
01:08:22.680
Had these had the state houses picked our representatives, it wouldn't have passed because
01:08:29.220
every state would have said, you're not shoving all that money on us.
01:08:38.420
Education would be totally different because they give you all the money, but they also make
01:08:44.960
And they would have said, no way, we're not doing that.
01:08:55.280
No, the people are represented in the house of representatives.
01:09:01.780
The Senate is supposed to represent each state.
01:09:06.260
And it is important that it is balanced, that every state has an equal voice.
01:09:12.220
Otherwise, New York, California, Texas, Ohio, Florida will control everything.
01:09:28.820
So you can't negotiate with people who want to wipe out the system.
01:09:41.100
I think the Jim Acosta thing yesterday was was an important moment.
01:09:45.820
The people who are honest would say, look, Jim, Jim Acosta.
01:09:50.620
I don't necessarily agree with throwing him out, but I don't condemn the president either
01:09:55.720
And I don't think that's a freedom of speech thing.
01:09:59.700
And I know the president, you know, I don't want the president picking who they're sending.
01:10:10.240
He just wants to do a monologue in front of all the cameras.
01:10:16.960
Well, his first question was insipid, just insipid.
01:10:26.700
Well, you and I have a disagreement on the definition of invasion.
01:10:39.840
Yeah, you don't you don't get to control what everybody believes, Jim Acosta.
01:10:45.720
And so I think that while I think Donald Trump won that with the right, Jim Acosta won it
01:11:03.060
I mean, just the people who may have really hard fought and hard won viewpoints.
01:11:14.540
This is like there was like it was like children.
01:11:20.820
And a lot of this, too, comes down to when you're talking about an election, part of your
01:11:24.420
role as you're going through and you're trying to get candidates to run for certain races
01:11:28.500
is finding candidates that are good and can actually win those races.
01:11:32.100
You want to get the best candidate you can to win the race that, you know, that and they
01:11:39.160
I mean, Sanford, Mark Sanford, who, of course, you remember, was governor of South Carolina,
01:11:43.260
had his issues there, went away for a while, came back and was a very conservative senator
01:11:47.400
or excuse me, a congressman while he was in office and but was occasionally and occasionally
01:11:54.500
occasionally a critical of Trump, mainly from the perspective of either spending or, you
01:12:03.500
Like the complaints that a lot of people have about his tweeting or his, you know, certain
01:12:08.160
But generally speaking, other than that, it was, you know, it was when Trump would sign
01:12:15.580
I mean, most of the time they voted this, you know, the same way.
01:12:18.600
And so but it was a big target for the administration.
01:12:24.060
They endorsed and slathered praise all over his primary challenger.
01:12:31.540
But the primary challenger isn't going to Washington because the primary challenger lost.
01:12:34.760
So they did all the celebration about how, oh, we got this.
01:12:38.500
We got Mark Sanford out because he said some criticisms about Trump.
01:12:46.600
I mean, arguably in Virginia with the Senate where they went out and went, you know, pushed
01:12:50.880
hard for a candidate that had no chance of winning there, even though Republicans have
01:12:56.180
come very close to winning statewide elections in Virginia over the past six years.
01:13:00.820
And he it was so bad in Virginia that the second the polls closed, we called the race.
01:13:12.280
And the Democrats did the same thing with the Democratic Socialists.
01:13:18.200
They didn't because they put a socialist up there.
01:13:25.020
Both sides have in common at the extreme edges.
01:13:40.000
Look, if you're for anarchy, if you are if you're Antifa or you're you want to change
01:13:46.420
the Constitution, but you don't want to do it through constitutional means.
01:13:54.520
Other than that, we we have to have bigger tents, bigger tents and listen to people.

But an exciting hour for you that you do not want to miss coming up next.
01:15:59.880
And I wanted to announce this a couple of weeks ago.
01:16:02.480
But Andrew just wouldn't get off his butt and actually sign anything.
01:16:07.760
So I'm really excited to announce that we are adding a new podcast, a new show to the Blaze lineup.
01:16:17.380
And you say to yourself, finally, a guy I've never heard of.
01:16:41.080
And so he comes at things at a really refreshing place.
01:16:51.320
I've worked with him now for the last, what, three weeks here?
01:16:53.820
And it's a pleasure to be around him because he is so grateful.
01:16:58.240
He's, I mean, didn't you just move from New York?
01:17:05.400
Which is, Austin's kind of like if Brooklyn had a kid in Texas.
01:17:11.300
How did you escape New York and have this attitude?
01:17:14.480
I, you know, part of it was, I knew, and like I still, some of my best friends live in New York.
01:17:20.900
There's really good people in New York, specifically 12.
01:17:27.760
I, you know, I'm from Oklahoma originally, which is the Canada of Texas.
01:17:31.400
So I never really, I never really fit in in New York.
01:17:34.960
And I, I, I mean, I think what I finally figured out is there's actually a different etiquette model that's working there.
01:17:41.000
Like in Oklahoma, you show respect by engaging people.
01:17:46.880
In New York, you give, you show respect by giving people space.
01:17:49.960
And it took me a couple of years to figure out that I was a very, very rude person by New York standards.
01:17:54.760
And I, I think the aha moment was I would, I was visiting Austin for a comedy festival and I was on the boardwalk and some teenagers saw me.
01:18:01.620
I mean, I was on a bike, some teenagers saw me and ran up and I started tensing and they just went, yeah, and high five me and ran away.
01:18:09.900
It's just a bunch of happy people running around high fiving.
01:18:12.740
And then I went back to New York that weekend and I saw people who are presumably neighbors because they were, they were unloading their car near me.
01:18:20.220
And, um, the, the lady had on a fedora and I stopped and went, that is a really sharp hat.
01:18:24.940
And they both turned to me and their heads swiveled at the slow, slow degree.
01:18:34.560
You guys are always going to find me irritating.
01:18:38.060
And like, so I wanted to move back to the middle of the country.
01:18:41.060
So, uh, we convinced him to move to Dallas and, uh, come do a podcast with him.
01:18:45.940
And I, I want to play, I, I heard a rehearsal podcast.
01:18:50.780
We've taken it and I've taken a couple of parts of it.
01:18:55.380
It begins on Monday, but, uh, something's off with Andrew Heaton.
01:18:59.300
Uh, that's a statement and the name of the podcast.
01:19:04.340
Listen, hello and welcome to something's off with Andrew Heaton.
01:19:12.280
Snuffies is a great American diner where, as you know, all of the waiters take your order
01:19:20.120
Yes, you'll be at one of the great, great places in the United States in terms of eating
01:19:25.860
And you and your family will have a joyous day having all of your food you serve by horseback.
01:19:31.080
If you've ever been to Sonic and you've seen a high schooler on rollerblades delivering
01:19:35.960
You will be angry at what a gullible yokel you were for being impressed by such a paltry
01:19:41.940
feat of locomotive skills when compared to the grandeur and majesty of a waiter delivering
01:19:51.280
Snuffies off Route 44 because everything tastes better from a horse.
01:19:55.940
A new iPhone's coming out and I put my head together with some friends for apps that we'd
01:20:06.600
One, I think this would be of tremendous benefit to the United States at large.
01:20:10.340
A social hookup app that makes people uglier on the phone so when you meet them in person
01:20:30.620
An app that can shoot a lightsaber out of your iPhone.
01:20:34.620
And then finally, I think this one would be super cool.
01:20:38.820
An app that reads NPR stories in the voice of Alex Jones.
01:20:43.400
I think that that would be a really interesting crossover.
01:20:47.620
A certain tribe is making wind chimes out of used...
01:20:53.640
You know, you can fill in the NPR story, but I think it would be really interesting to
01:21:10.920
And I think the Russian spy, the hot Russian spy had just been deported.
01:21:16.480
I forget her name off the top of my head, but there was somebody that had come in like
01:21:19.680
a few years ago, and she'd been the head of like a gun organization, and she'd kind of
01:21:24.980
So everybody is talking about, you know, whether this is fake or whether this is real.
01:21:29.760
And I stop in the hallway to listen to his test podcast.
01:21:34.460
And here's how Andrew Heaton was dealing with it.
01:21:39.360
I would like to thank Russia for sending us hot lady spies.
01:21:43.720
I think that is a gesture of respect to our country, and that makes me like them more.
01:21:47.340
I have lots of problems with the Russian regime.
01:21:54.380
And they, you know, they tried to interfere in our election, and perhaps did.
01:21:57.060
So those are all issues that I'm concerned with.
01:21:58.500
However, they are taking the actual James Bond gentleman's agreement that we have with
01:22:04.860
Russia, which is you send over your hot people, hot men and women, both, and you have them
01:22:14.320
I'm not going to point any fingers at any other large nations that we're periodically in
01:22:22.040
But as I understand it, nations that we're currently in a trade war with are mostly just hacking
01:22:29.000
Or from wherever, whatever country I'm not talking about.
01:22:41.060
And I don't know about you, but I just want to laugh.
01:22:43.560
They didn't even talk about that on NPR, the whole sex angle.
01:22:47.260
Maybe if they had it in Alex Jones's voice, they would have.
01:22:51.960
I think, like, right now is so tense, and it's so angry.
01:22:54.980
And, like, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to have a podcast with you guys.
01:22:59.340
And to – I want to have a place where people can hang out.
01:23:04.020
And we'll be thoughtful, but we're going to have fun.
01:23:06.040
I don't want people to leave, like, needing statins.
01:23:11.860
You came – I mean, one of the things – the first thing I think I saw you on was your stuff for Reason.
01:23:17.880
You did Mostly Weekly with Andrew Heaton, which I freaking loved.
01:23:25.220
Well, that means my mom wasn't watching it then.
01:23:28.760
I will tell you that this is the first question I asked in the job interview.
01:23:36.440
Oh, I was going to say – because we watched it, and we loved it, and I said to Andrew – were you in there?
01:23:43.220
Because I said to him, okay, so, I mean, maybe we're completely wrong about you, because we cannot figure out why that wasn't a huge success, because it was really funny.
01:23:57.400
I don't mean this really, but how are you not more successful?
01:24:00.600
And that was, like, the weirdest, like, mind question.
01:24:05.920
Like, for days, I would just stare at the sea leg going, what happened to me?
01:24:20.840
I mean, the premise to that for the – I mean, probably 5% of your viewers haven't watched it.
01:24:27.460
But the premise to that was it was basically a Craigslist version of John Oliver from a libertarian perspective.
01:24:33.520
It was on Reason, which is kind of the flagship libertarian publication.
01:24:37.340
And I just – I wanted to – I wanted to tackle a lot of the issues that I didn't think were either getting represented or were getting represented poorly.
01:24:45.080
Like, the one that got the most views, I think, was on net neutrality, because I was the only humorist, the only one, that was like, wait a minute.
01:24:52.380
So, you guys hate Donald Trump, who's the head of the government, and you want to give the government control of the internet.
01:25:03.880
You know that he appoints the FCC, like the guy you hate, Ajit Pai.
01:25:09.260
So, like, I won't go off my rant about net neutrality.
01:25:12.900
And I thought that one was going to do so poorly, because it's so wonky, but it became, like, it became this huge kind of psychological proxy battle.
01:25:26.400
We're in a really interesting place right now where –
01:25:33.220
But, like, with podcasts and things, you can actually have, like, a long conversation and not think – and soundbites are amazing.
01:25:43.420
I can't believe there was an actual conversation that happened.
01:25:47.440
It's like – there's always a back and forth with that, right?
01:25:49.100
I think there's that idea that for years – I mean, Twitter is certainly a great example of it, but everyone, you know, going to – you know, pivoting to video on the web, and everyone had shorter and shorter and shorter articles, and there's just no substance.
01:26:00.380
And I think the podcast world gives you a chance to laugh a lot and really go into depth on a topic, and I think it is a – it's a pushback against this short attention span.
01:26:15.080
They might have released this, but I used to work in Congress.
01:26:18.200
I worked for a couple of members of the House, and while I was there, the Library of Congress purchased all tweets in perpetuity.
01:26:24.520
And I – like my – I was an undergraduate as a history major, and I looked at that and thought, all of history comes from about three different sources.
01:26:32.840
It comes from junk people left behind, from propaganda, and from the letters of Benjamin Franklin.
01:26:42.200
Like, almost everything we know is literally just broken pottery shards.
01:26:44.260
And I looked at the Twitter feed and was like, in the 25th century, that's how we are going to be remembered is through the asinine junk we put on Twitter and Facebook.
01:26:57.340
That'll be – and they loathed whatever political party they weren't, but they loved cats wearing costumes.
01:27:02.700
Like, that'll be our contribution to the zeitgeist.
01:27:04.940
I will tell you that it is – we are going to be looked at by historians as morons.
01:27:12.540
I – can I tell – to get deep for a second, I'll tell you what I think – how they're going to look back on us.
01:27:16.780
I think we live in, like, an absolutely amazing time.
01:27:19.160
I think that this is – this is very much like the same thing as the invention of the printing press or the invention of the agricultural revolution.
01:27:26.440
I think this is a pivot point for the entire species.
01:27:29.220
But I think at the same time, historians are going to look back and go, wow, they must have been so lonely.
01:27:35.760
I think this is the loneliest period in all of human history.
01:27:38.800
And I think that's why, in politics right now, people are so thirsty to be a part of a political party because it gives them the sense of belonging.
01:27:46.900
And I think that's why tribalism is on the rise because everybody's so alienated.
01:27:54.380
I – so I think, for one thing, just from an evolutionary perspective, you know, we've been around about 300,000 years.
01:28:08.700
Just saying it just to get the argument started.
01:28:12.080
Well, but even then, even then, let's go with 6,000, right?
01:28:21.240
For 6,000 years, you're mostly living with your best friends.
01:28:27.440
I mean, unless you're in the army, the bulk of human history never goes more than, you know, 30 miles from where they grew up.
01:28:33.040
And so, I was talking to friends about this because I went to several weddings this summer.
01:28:37.180
That feeling you get when you're at a wedding and you're like, oh, my uncle.
01:28:40.600
That's the normal human state that when you're surrounded by people.
01:28:43.500
What we've done is we went, or I could live in a box by myself.
01:28:48.240
And then we added to that, I'm going to further remove myself from people.
01:28:55.260
I'm not going to go to the Bowling League or the Improv Team.
01:29:00.320
And I think as a result, we've become so distant from one another.
01:29:05.540
Well, there's – for instance, companies are very, very hard to run over.
01:29:13.220
Yeah, it just starts to fall apart because it's completely different because there's something about culture at about 120 people.
01:29:24.020
And the human experience, I think it's – I think we're supposed to – we are geared to have about 50 friends, 50 people in our lives that we kind of really know and we can handle that.
01:29:39.400
And after – I think – I can't remember the number exactly, but it's a very low number, like 50.
01:29:47.060
We are not used to having all these relationships and being involved in this gigantic conversation with people all over the world.
01:30:03.000
There's a fascinating study by a guy named Robert Dunbar.
01:30:05.800
And he came up with Dunbar's number, which is, I think, the 120 you're citing.
01:30:09.240
And it's – I mean, basically, I think the easiest way to explain it is after 150 people, you need name tags.
01:30:14.160
And that changes the whole dynamic of the group.
01:30:17.000
And when you've got 150 people, you think about, like, being able to arbitrate disputes with neighbors.
01:30:21.900
If you know – if you're in a neighborhood of 150 people, you can deal with that as a group.
01:30:25.640
You get above that, you start needing some kind of external authority to come in.
01:30:29.480
If you don't know the other person, it becomes harder.
01:30:31.460
It's really interesting that you say this because this is the one thing that Jefferson and Adams argued right before they died.
01:30:39.320
They said, you know, that one of them said to the other, this is going to fall apart.
01:30:43.940
But then they will remember what we were trying to do.
01:30:49.920
We didn't do enough Deuteronomy, which – what the – you know, we're dealing with –
01:30:55.840
But for listeners that aren't familiar with Deuteronomy –
01:31:00.400
And it's kind of the law part of the Bible, okay?
01:31:03.920
And they – in there, they talk about how society needs to be broken up.
01:31:08.500
And it needs to be broken up into what are called stakes.
01:31:17.380
They're, like, organizing a group of 150 people?
01:31:19.220
So what they wanted to do was divide the country into what are called stakes.
01:31:23.740
So you'd have 150 people or 150 families, whatever it is.
01:31:27.520
And then when it hit 170, it would break in half.
01:31:37.320
And it would just keep breaking up to keep that number.
01:31:44.960
And that's why we have this gerrymandering where you don't really know who to talk to.
01:31:50.180
And this is important, probably a good time to note, that you are limiting the amount of listeners to your podcast to 150.
01:32:03.960
And I don't even know if you can subscribe yet.
01:32:08.240
And you'll get it wherever podcasts – you find podcasts.
01:32:11.460
I've come up with a selection of my favorite mostly weekly episodes.
01:32:15.540
And I'm going to be tweeting them out all day today.
01:32:23.940
And we're thrilled to have you a part of the team.
01:32:28.720
Andrew Heaton will crush his soul within six months.
01:32:34.960
So get him while he's still, you know, spirited.
01:32:56.560
You have a chair that you need in your office at home.
01:33:10.380
I mean, if you're going to sit in a chair for six or eight or ten hours a day.
01:33:13.900
Spend more time in your office chair than you do in bed.
01:33:19.680
They're also offering now new toque new colors for the holidays, red and white.
01:33:30.400
Also, Santa must be for Trump, too, because he wears red and white.
01:33:43.880
X chair has its own version called the X flex top sit stand desk.
01:33:55.020
Just go to X chair Beck dot com or call eight four four four X chair X chair Beck dot com.
01:34:06.960
Let me go to Cindy in Virginia has been holding a while.
01:34:15.660
So I actually met you last week at the meet and greet.
01:34:23.660
So if I could, I would like to commend Stu on early in the broadcast, not having mixed
01:34:34.840
So Glenn was talking about Charlottesville in, you know, Virginia and was kept calling
01:34:44.800
And of course, I could have easily jumped in and corrected him.
01:34:46.940
But I thought it was better for him to just continue to say it until the crowd basically
01:34:51.140
revolted and started screaming Charlottesville at you.
01:34:57.340
I have to tell you, I took a lot away from that.
01:35:00.000
And I was the one, I don't expect you to remember, but upstairs who was talking about
01:35:04.080
our kids, my older, my younger kids, rather, older kids, rather, the same age as your younger
01:35:08.720
And I was asking when the young adult edition of Addicted to Outrage would come out.
01:35:13.380
And I think you basically told me to go ahead and write it.
01:35:16.800
But, you know, I took a lot away from that evening, and it all comes back to my kids.
01:35:20.980
But there was one point in that night where my heart sank, and only one.
01:35:25.340
And it was when you showed the, I guess, basically the logo of the Democratic Socialists, which
01:35:30.560
was, I think, the hand-in-hand with the red rose.
01:35:35.220
I want to come back, and then you can explain what that is and why your heart sank when we come
01:35:49.580
We're talking to Cindy in Virginia, who was at the state show last week in Richmond, Virginia,
01:35:58.140
where we were talking about Addicted to Outrage.
01:36:02.160
And at one point, we put a tweet up on the screen.
01:36:07.280
And it was, I'm trying to remember what it was, but it had a picture of a gun on it.
01:36:11.340
And I think it said I was going to go collect a bunch of bloody hats at a MAGA party.
01:36:17.120
And it was tweeted out by someone who was a member of the Democratic Socialist Party.
01:36:23.080
And I said, how do you know that this person is a member of the DSA?
01:36:28.740
And up next to their name was the logo of the DSA.
01:36:34.960
And it's a logo of a black hand or a dark hand and a white hand coming together in a
01:36:49.200
Well, you know, my going on 14-year-old daughter had just literally put in little red rosebud
01:36:55.040
earrings the day before, you know, completely innocently.
01:36:58.500
And, you know, it's a small thing, but I'm sure it's always been this way.
01:37:02.540
But especially in that age group, or maybe it's especially today, every little thing
01:37:10.800
And, you know, I feel like, you know, I was thinking on the way back, you know, they've
01:37:15.600
But unfortunately, it's more like they push the rainbow on them in the schools.
01:37:22.740
And I know, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're not, like, personally entrenched in
01:37:34.220
I know a number of people who are homeschooled, people have made other choices.
01:37:37.820
But no matter what each choice of us, you know, no matter what each choice we make, the
01:37:42.160
whole system and the way these kids are being educated affects every single one of us.
01:37:47.000
And it's just boom, boom, boom, thing after thing after thing every day.
01:37:51.540
So I feel like one of my additional full-time jobs is almost like this clandestine system
01:37:56.680
where I find, like, counter information and I leave it on the counters for the kids so
01:38:04.440
And, you know, it's like, you know, I don't want to do this one.
01:38:09.540
And I'm not saying, Cindy, I want you to know, I hope you didn't take from me that you
01:38:22.440
It's them taking it, you know, taking something simple and beautiful and making it a political.
01:38:30.860
And even for these little kids in the schools, you know, they see it all the time.
01:38:42.800
I hope you left there learning something new and also, you know, hopeful.
01:38:54.560
You know, I had a couple hours drive home and I was like, what did I take away?
01:38:58.800
And that was never my intended bailiwick in life.
01:39:00.880
But I was like, you know, how do we get them younger?
01:39:10.600
By the way, we're going to be on tour in Orlando and Tampa.
01:39:21.980
It's November 8th today and we are going to be, I know it's the November 30th is when
01:39:36.720
It's a fun show, lots of laughs, and you'll learn a lot.
01:39:41.620
You know, I want to, can I bring it back to the, I'm working on something for tomorrow's
01:39:48.360
show and I, and I want to talk to you tomorrow about how do we judge people with what's going
01:39:59.020
People are, people are, people are, you don't know who the good guy and bad guy is.
01:40:08.640
And they're just subtle things that, you know, take you from a person that is concerned about
01:40:14.580
all the things I am and, uh, there's a fine line between that and all of a sudden you're
01:40:20.960
in a group with a bunch of racists, you know, how do you talk about immigration and, and
01:40:26.820
know when the people around you are like, wait, you're thinking a different way.
01:40:31.820
Or for instance, people that, you know, on the democratic side that believe in, in a bigger
01:40:36.980
welfare state, but all of a sudden are standing around in a group and they're like, wait, you
01:40:46.020
It's very subtle and it's because we're not speaking the truth to each other.
01:40:51.920
And we're also, um, we don't understand each other.
01:40:57.120
And as you, you look at the Jim Costa thing and you see how he treated the president and
01:41:08.340
I don't know for consistency sake, how the left is split on this, how they are not seeing
01:41:15.540
it the way, you know, many Americans, uh, see it.
01:41:22.960
Uh, I think the president in this case was right.
01:41:30.980
When Sarah Sanders came out and said that, you know, uh, Jim Acosta, you know, accosted
01:41:36.020
this woman or, you know, hit her or anything else that none of that happened.
01:41:45.640
Um, I think the president did get mad at the end and he got a little snippy at the
01:41:55.980
At some point, the heckler has to be removed because we got to move on.
01:42:01.220
And if you won't play by the rules, what are you going to do?
01:42:09.500
Well, I think there's a couple of things that the left misses, you know, Jonathan
01:42:13.860
height, uh, he, he wrote about the foundations of, uh, of morality in our society.
01:42:20.000
And he says there are six pillars and they are care, fairness, liberty, loyalty, authority,
01:42:30.360
He says out of these six pillars, liberals only.
01:42:35.280
And now remember he's a liberal, he's an NYU professor.
01:42:39.420
But he said, there's only three pillars out of the six that liberals even recognize.
01:42:58.100
Conservatives also relate to liberty, relate to fairness.
01:43:11.900
Conservatives are much more personably a personal.
01:43:15.420
Their personal charitable givings are higher than liberals.
01:43:22.560
We just think we should care, not the government per se.
01:43:26.980
So conservatives have all six of these, but liberals do not have an understanding or even
01:43:40.620
Purity is nothing sacred, is nothing sacred, is nothing off limits, is, is nothing so vile
01:44:05.420
The police, we should respect the authority until they violate that.
01:44:10.740
So we're much more, look, there's a reason why, and you know, I, I, I love the way the
01:44:17.220
CIA says in the middle of the desert or the NSA says in the middle of the desert, the reason
01:44:22.560
why they put those servers in the middle of a desert was because of the vast amount of
01:44:28.740
water that is available to keep those servers cool.
01:44:34.040
The reason why they did that is because Mormons are very compliant.
01:44:41.620
And the last people you're going to have a problem with in an uprising is a group of Mormons.
01:44:48.720
But I believe I've heard the NSA say, well, it's because they're so patriotic.
01:44:55.880
And so the last group that you're going to have a problem with an uprising because they
01:44:59.660
respect authority are the Mormons in Salt Lake.
01:45:02.820
And that's why those NSA servers are there, in my opinion.
01:45:07.100
So authority is something that conservatives respect and loyalty, loyalty to God, our, our
01:45:15.120
country, our founding principles, uh, our military, even our politicians, Donald Trump.
01:45:23.240
It's why they have, they've pushed this one sometimes a little too far.
01:45:31.080
And even when they shouldn't necessarily be loyal, they'll push it, especially when under
01:45:43.800
And that's not me saying that this is a New York, uh, university study with an NYU professor.
01:45:50.620
This is widely respected from all sides of the aisle.
01:45:57.080
Why does, why is Costa a scene like a hero yesterday?
01:46:03.020
Well, not only because people want vengeance and people want it on both sides.
01:46:07.460
People want on the right to see Donald Trump smash the press.
01:46:11.780
The press on the left wants, uh, the left wants to see the press smash Donald Trump.
01:46:19.520
That's an overriding thing, but also conservatives look at that situation and say, it's the white
01:46:52.400
That's what really, um, secondary to the, I just want the president to go ahead and swing
01:47:03.300
Um, but secondary, but not a, uh, it's a very close second is he's the president.
01:47:16.320
You don't have the authority to speak to the president that way.
01:47:21.420
After you've asked your question, there is a system in place for this.
01:47:27.520
Is there nothing sacred anymore until the, until liberals can understand and are willing
01:47:37.380
to see things from our perspective, they will not grow.
01:47:47.400
And until we can understand that they don't see those three.
01:47:53.100
So we stopped talking to them about those three.
01:47:56.340
If you want to make a difference and you want to win an argument, talk to them about all
01:48:02.000
of the issues about care, fairness, and liberty, because what are they going to now on this?
01:48:13.040
You're not going to say, well, he's the president and this is a press conference and there is a
01:48:23.380
You have to meet them on care, fairness, and liberty.
01:48:28.700
And the thing on liberty is he does have a right to do that, but he's become an advocate.
01:48:35.160
Those questions were advocates that, you know, he was advocating for a point of view.
01:48:42.280
And and personally, I don't think the president should have taken his credentials away.
01:48:49.160
I think CNN should have punished him for that and said, look, if you want to be an advocate,
01:48:54.380
but be an advocate, you can ask him tough questions and ask them.
01:48:58.660
But we have rules at CNN and we don't want to see anybody's liberty squashed.
01:49:04.560
But for liberty to work, we also have responsibilities.
01:49:11.900
The problem is they do have standards at CNN, and I think you're seeing them.
01:49:16.940
The fact that they're coming out in with this glorious praise as if the guy, you know,
01:49:20.200
cured cancer shows that the real trouble here is CNN's management.
01:49:26.420
He's he's doing exactly what he's being cheered on to do.
01:49:32.560
E-commerce continues its explosive growth, and this is going to be a problem for the holidays.
01:49:39.380
There is an increase of 297 percent in the in the number of fake retail websites.
01:49:48.540
300 percent increase, and it's only going to get worse.
01:49:52.380
Now, this is where they come and they fish for all of your information.
01:49:56.620
Cyber criminals can use that for your IP address, credit card, shipping address.
01:50:01.080
And they pull off these scams, and then they have everything that they need.
01:50:06.680
So many threats in today's connected world, and it just takes one single weak link, and they're in.
01:50:12.320
That's why the new LifeLock identity theft protection adds the power of Norton security.
01:50:17.700
So they protect against the threats against your devices, not just your identity, but the devices that you're not going to be able to see or fix on your own.
01:50:25.320
Nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft, or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
01:50:30.460
But new LifeLock with Norton security will see the threats that you might miss.

Tomorrow, we're going to talk a little bit about how do we...
01:51:59.280
How do we move forward from here with everything going more and more crazy and the lines getting sharper and sharper?
01:52:12.920
And yet there's this movement where people are saying, I don't really want to stand on either side.
01:52:19.080
We're going to start to delve into that on tomorrow's broadcast.
