00:00:08.440
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.
00:01:09.740
Yeah, so we want to talk to you a little bit about BrickHouse, our sponsor for the broadcast today.
00:01:14.960
Yeah, you know we're going to talk about getting all the foods that you need.
00:01:17.420
Your mommy told you to eat your vegetables, remember that?
00:01:24.640
You should change the thing that Glenn did and actually use BrickHouse Nutrition.
00:01:30.080
They have a great thing called Field of Greens, and it can make it so you get all of your vegetables every day,
00:01:34.980
get the nutrition things that you, you know, the nutrition benefits that you need.
00:01:40.900
Well, I mean, you're supposed to eat that stuff, Glenn.
00:01:43.480
But the good thing is a lot of these superfood products are just like extracts, and they're not the real stuff.
00:01:49.620
This is real food from Field of Greens, BrickHouse Nutrition.
00:02:06.620
Well, I don't know if I've experienced a better me tomorrow, but tomorrow's still yet to come.
00:02:12.220
Yeah, you actually have to make sure you use it.
00:02:14.100
All I know, I'm happier because I don't have to eat broccoli.
00:02:33.100
I was in Florida when they said, this will never happen again because we're going to a whole new system.
00:02:43.660
I was in Florida when I told Florida, if this happens again, we're coming for you.
00:02:52.300
I was in Florida when Florida almost set the whole world on fire.
00:02:57.480
I was in Texas watching Florida and on Monday saying to Florida, I'm coming down with shovels and a saw and we're going to dig and then we're going to saw Florida off from the United States and just let it float into the middle of the ocean.
00:03:25.540
Does anyone know what's going on in Broward County?
00:03:30.900
It's been 72 hours and they're still counting votes.
00:03:36.960
In fact, in Broward County, they came out and said right away, how many people came and voted?
00:03:44.660
Then the next day they came out and said, oh, there's about 10,000 more votes here.
00:03:55.860
Broward County is probably the most technologically advanced and economically developed areas in Florida.
00:04:18.020
The Broward County election supervisor claims that she doesn't even know how many ballots are left to be counted.
00:04:25.700
Could I ask the Broward County election supervisor how that's even possible?
00:04:43.380
Now, I don't know if Broward County election supervisor knows this, but literally every other county in the nation reported the results pretty much minute by minute.
00:05:02.200
Large dumps of voting results are being pushed out at late night hours.
00:05:07.700
And curiously, they always seem to benefit the Democrats.
00:05:14.520
Look, we just found some more Democratic ballots.
00:05:18.560
To say something is rotten in the county of Broward is being kind.
00:05:27.960
Yesterday morning, a video was released on Twitter showing bags of ballots being transported in private vehicles and then loaded onto rental trucks.
00:05:47.540
Because if it is, I don't think you should have the job.
00:05:56.220
I'd like to ask, where were the, quote, supervisors?
00:06:10.320
Who's to say that ballots weren't just taken out and burned and replaced with fakes?
00:06:27.800
This is the reason why voting results are delayed and coming in late at night.
00:06:34.380
Because you just had to put it in the back of your Porsche and then take it out to some guys in the back of a truck.
00:06:54.220
If we can just get a Democratic Socialist in there, I'm sure he'll fix it.
00:07:00.540
Probably shouldn't use the word fix when we're talking about voting in Florida.
00:07:08.580
Yesterday afternoon, over 100 ballots were rejected in Miami after finding out the people that voted had voted multiple times.
00:07:19.280
Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott has had enough.
00:07:22.300
He's just filed a lawsuit late last night accusing Florida election officials of hiding information.
00:07:28.900
The lawsuit even suggests that the election supervisor in Palm Beach County illegally used her own judgment.
00:07:44.200
I'm not a guy who's for, you know, just higgledy-piggledy executions.
00:07:52.460
But I gotta tell you, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:07:57.680
So, they, apparently their election supervisor, took it upon herself just to determine voter intent when reviewing both damaged and incorrectly filled out ballots.
00:08:14.840
I don't know, it looks like they were trying to vote for the Democrat.
00:08:24.100
You are the only group of people that could take the hanging chads and make it worse.
00:08:29.600
This appears like legitimate election tampering and fraud.
00:08:38.180
You just showed that you're no better than countries like Russia.
00:08:43.320
To steal a little bit from the great sage Forrest Gump, corrupt is as corrupt does.
00:09:00.600
I think I, you know, I think, I think I could have handled it from any other state.
00:09:11.820
Uh, I just got a letter, an email in this morning, uh, that I have to read to you because it's happened in other states.
00:09:20.540
Uh, and I haven't snapped, but Florida, Florida, the people who brought us selected, not elected.
00:09:40.100
Dear Glenn, I want you to know the state of Iowa yesterday.
00:09:43.280
Our sister and daughter and son-in-law, who is a U.S. citizen, but from Argentina and speaks with a heavy accent, went in to vote ahead of his wife.
00:09:52.040
They handed him, my nephew, a voting ballot that was inside a plastic sheet.
00:09:56.720
He went to the voting table before the, uh, um, before the machines, and when he looked at it, he saw that the ballot was already filled out with all of the Democratic candidates.
00:10:07.700
He got angry and went back to them and said, what are you doing?
00:10:14.580
They seemed a little flustered as if they were hiding something.
00:10:18.780
My extended family believes the volunteers expected that he was an illegal who didn't know better by his thick accent and dark skin.
00:10:29.340
It seemed that they had a separate container with these pre-marked Democratic ballots.
00:10:37.680
My sister said trucks of illegals are taken to work in the town for Tyson.
00:10:42.520
There are many of those that are being given these Democratic-marked ballots at the voting station.
00:10:47.220
Only a driver's license is required to vote there.
00:10:50.140
The attendants tell them, uh, just to push it through the machine.
00:11:05.660
You're just not going to say anything today, are you?
00:11:07.760
I'm happy to say you were in a rant and I didn't want to cut you off.
00:11:11.920
Do you believe there was a mass voter fraud in Florida?
00:11:18.260
If I don't believe anything, I think that there is the possibility.
00:11:23.160
I think we're just going to go through what we went through in 2000, where nothing is really, really super clear.
00:11:30.620
It's just muddied waters and just helps us be a little more, I don't know, 1968 in our spirit for the country.
00:11:38.820
Well, it's amazing because they have, you know, they're supposed to, a recount is not necessarily bad, right?
00:11:44.000
Every close, every close election legally has a recount.
00:11:50.440
It's just the idea that they're supposed to, in Broward County, supposed to be able to say, hey, we have this many ballots left to count.
00:11:59.960
Like, there's a story of this person working at a school who found a box that just said provisional ballots.
00:12:05.920
And she was afraid to open it because she was afraid to tamper with evidence.
00:12:09.600
When they opened it, it was just a bunch of, like, you know, signs and pencils and there weren't any ballots inside.
00:12:16.240
But this is the sort of thing you're talking about.
00:12:19.920
They're finding ballots of, you know, boxes they think might have ballots in them.
00:12:23.820
You know, large numbers of votes are just popping up kind of out of nowhere.
00:12:29.200
You should be able to count when you come in every state I've ever voted in, including Florida.
00:12:38.100
They find your name, you sign, and they give you a ballot.
00:12:42.180
You should be able to count that and say, here are the number of people that voted.
00:12:47.980
How come Florida and Broward County can't tell us how many people voted?
00:13:07.820
I mean, some states have rules where mail in ballots can come in after Election Day.
00:13:13.720
I think today is the deadline in California, where if you if you mail a ballot that is mailed
00:13:19.200
and postmarked by Election Day and it gets there by Friday, the vote can still count.
00:13:24.480
And that's why a lot of these California house races are out there and still undecided and
00:13:30.980
But, you know, that's not supposed to be the case.
00:13:36.460
I don't know about you, but I don't remember all these problems growing up.
00:13:42.120
And maybe they were all corrupt back then, but I don't remember.
00:13:52.100
Anybody who's lived in Florida their whole life, I don't think it's you.
00:13:54.980
I think it's the corrupt Democrats that are moving out of New York.
00:14:02.440
Don't do it, because right now they're Californian, my Texas, and I don't like it.
00:14:20.300
As a person, by the way, I fully agree with you.
00:14:22.080
As a person born in New York, currently living in Texas, completely agree with you.
00:14:26.900
Oh, I said, when we moved down here, Rick Perry was the governor.
00:14:30.140
And I walked in and I said, we got to take care of this border.
00:14:37.940
You've got to stop people like me from moving into the state.
00:14:46.500
If you've ever taken your car into the mechanic and you're like, I just need an oil change.
00:14:50.520
You come back the next day and they're like, yeah, well, we found out that your engine has fallen out.
00:15:03.480
CarShield has you covered on all of the unexpected.
00:15:16.720
When that check engine light comes on, does anybody else just try to defy that?
00:15:33.500
I choose to stand on the side of the highway with my engine smoking.
00:15:42.940
Mention the promo code back and no longer swear at that little check engine light.
00:15:47.760
You'll save 10% right now if you use the promo code back at CarShield.com.
00:15:56.560
You know, one of the last things my dad said to me was, I don't envy you, son.
00:16:09.980
And he said, because in my life, things were, you know, we had World War II, but I just don't
00:16:17.320
know how you guys are going to get past all of this stuff.
00:16:23.100
That's not the deathbed message I was hoping for, but thank you for that.
00:16:28.920
You know, I, for one, am kind of, I don't believe in the rapture, but I'm willing.
00:16:34.200
I mean, I don't care if I have to be in a Nike cult.
00:16:36.620
If that's what gets me taken and I'd like it in the next six months.
00:16:41.060
I can make you some Kool-Aid if you're interested.
00:16:53.280
No, heaven's chimney is not, uh, not exactly what I'm looking for, but thank you.
00:17:02.180
Um, I do have, um, first of all, the Tucker Carlson thing, uh, is, is despicable.
00:17:11.580
And, uh, when Tucker said yesterday that he thinks he knows who it is, it's fascinating that
00:17:18.120
this came out last night that he thinks he knows who it is.
00:17:20.440
And he thinks he knows that it was a guest on his show.
00:17:23.180
I had two sources reach out to me last night and say, they watch the video and they know
00:17:29.980
And they said, he's a guy who was on Tucker's show and Tucker, uh, humiliated him, um, you
00:17:41.060
And, uh, uh, and I said, are you willing to go on the record?
00:17:49.480
Um, so I, uh, I didn't even ask the name of the guy because I don't want to know it
00:17:58.360
But, uh, I got those phone calls last night and then what happened?
00:18:03.940
Tucker comes out and says, I think I know who the guy is.
00:18:13.040
I don't think there's a lot of love for this idea.
00:18:15.340
There's been some leftists who have come out and said, Hey, you know, who cares if
00:18:23.960
He's terrifying people every day with his hatred and blah, blah, blah.
00:18:27.180
There's been a lot of people though, who realized that this is over the line.
00:18:30.780
This is, this is however, even on the left, why we need to have, why we need to be a different.
00:18:36.820
And as I was saying on tour, a peculiar people, we need to stand out as being peaceful and, uh,
00:18:44.020
not part of that because I've been saying this for the last few years.
00:18:48.300
The only thing that hasn't happened to repeat the sixties is assassinations.
00:18:54.440
Now we've had assassination attempts, but it was on the right.
00:19:00.460
So the guy was just trying to kill all the congressmen that are Republicans.
00:19:06.800
Steve, if this happens to a journalist, good God, I mean, and you know what doesn't happen.
00:19:15.540
Could you, this is something I said on Fox, you journalists don't have any idea and you
00:19:25.140
are cozying up to these people and you have no idea.
00:19:28.820
And when the crap really hits the fan, they will come and they will drag you out of your
00:19:33.880
chair from your comfy studio and beat you to death in the streets.
00:19:41.500
So you don't know what we're playing with and who we're dealing with here.
00:19:51.100
I mean, had, you know, and this is a little bit unrelated, but we had that incident a few
00:19:55.240
months ago where a guy went into a newspaper and shot up the news.
00:20:00.860
Everyone should be on their knees praying for Ruth Bader Ginsburg right now, praying.
00:20:07.300
If she would die now, right now, that is, can you imagine?
00:20:16.180
The only thing they didn't do during Kavanaugh was firebomb and kill people.
00:20:27.520
You can't, I mean, they can't, they accused the guy of gang rape, right?
00:20:31.580
And they, and they had people in the streets and they were, you know, they were on the
00:20:42.600
The only thing to escalate, escalate this is to go to violence.
00:20:46.900
And if you don't think that would happen with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, uh, you're, you're crazy.
00:20:55.160
Um, and so this is, you know, but it does make, it made people think about, you know,
00:21:01.620
Um, you know, obviously you pray for Ruth Bader Ginsburg also just because she's a person,
00:21:05.980
Just because she's completely wrong on the constitution every single time does not mean
00:21:18.120
She's, uh, she, she seems like a really fun and decent woman.
00:21:23.920
And she was very well liked by a lot of the conservatives on the court.
00:21:27.180
You know, that doesn't mean I want her on the court.
00:21:28.860
I'd rather have, I'd like to have her retire and be replaced by someone who cares about
00:21:32.080
the constitution of the United States rather than South Africa.
00:21:38.140
I mean, they are so worked up on the left over, you know, they don't like losing, right?
00:21:45.180
They don't like the idea that, uh, you know, that, uh, uh, a conservative is on the court.
00:21:50.980
They don't like the fact that if someone were to, because, you know, people were talking
00:21:54.180
Well, if, uh, Ginsburg, um, does retire, they should replace her with a, with a moderate.
00:22:02.160
They should replace her with a, uh, an originalist and a constitutionalist.
00:22:07.340
You don't do this because you feel like, oh, we should play to the other side.
00:22:11.120
You replace with a constitutionalist, not a Republican, not a Democrat.
00:22:24.580
Uh, Pac Ray from Pac Ray Unleashed is, uh, joining us now.
00:22:28.140
And, uh, you two are a little upset about the, uh, the Florida situation.
00:22:37.020
In the, I mean, everything seemed fine yesterday.
00:22:40.260
We, we, we dodged a bullet in the governorship for Florida, uh, in the Senate seat in Florida,
00:22:50.620
They got the house control back, but other than that, everything went really well.
00:23:01.840
And now there's a recount in both races in Florida for Senate and for the governorship.
00:23:06.220
And the one I'm concerned about, I mean, I haven't, have you guys heard anything about,
00:23:16.180
Rick Scott is kind of concerned about that in Florida, obviously.
00:23:19.660
I know we were talking about Florida and I want to get Marco Rubio on today because he
00:23:25.880
Um, but I, I haven't heard anything about foul play in Arizona.
00:23:29.400
So if that's, if it's all up and up, then that's what it is.
00:23:33.440
Florida is, uh, they're not saying how many more ballots they have to count.
00:23:40.400
It's also their legal responsibility to be able to, it's, I can't remember the name of
00:23:45.020
the act, but they are legally responsible to be able to, to report on these things and
00:23:49.540
tell them how many ballots they have left and all a bunch of details.
00:23:51.920
And they're just not, they're required to, if anyone, I'm telling you the feds should
00:23:59.600
If anyone is caught tampering with these ballots, they should go to prison, not jail.
00:24:08.540
We lose control of the ballot and lose faith in our election system.
00:24:15.560
And you know, what's really interesting is it was, well, he's not my president.
00:24:20.100
He was selected, not elected because they all declared Al Gore, the winner and then Bush.
00:24:26.900
Well, I guess you could say that about your governor.
00:24:29.180
And I bet you could say that now about your Senator.
00:24:36.900
Who did you hear about Broward County where the election supervisor was just eyeballing
00:24:41.860
and, and making the call where the ballots weren't clear on who they voted for?
00:24:46.440
She was just looking at him going, oh yeah, that looks like that's a democratic one.
00:24:54.480
So is that how they went from 54,000 ahead with the Rick Scott campaign down to 17,000
00:25:03.820
I apologized on Twitter this morning when I found out, uh, and I don't know if you guys
00:25:08.620
have heard yet, but if so, I'd like to open the floor for your apology as well.
00:25:12.660
My apology to the Trump administration for just believing that, uh, the white house had
00:25:21.600
put an edited tape out and they had sped up Jim Acosta's arm.
00:25:32.960
I mean, it, I don't think they did it intentionally, but it does seem like they did speed it up because
00:25:41.500
Correct, but that's not what anyone was saying yesterday.
00:25:46.080
They were saying, oh, they just took an Alex Jones file.
00:25:51.340
Uh, but we did report that they played a doctored tape that was sped up.
00:25:59.360
If they were doing that, that is not what they did.
00:26:08.200
Buzzfeed news found that if you take just the, the raw video and then you take in, you,
00:26:19.000
That's there's, there's a long-term debate of that.
00:26:21.960
I can never remember which one is the winning, the winning.
00:26:36.740
And so it looks like you sped it up, but you didn't.
00:26:39.720
You just cut frames out automatically when you convert it, it cuts frames out.
00:26:51.600
Cause I don't, did they accuse the, uh, White House?
00:26:57.060
I just assume, cause I read that everywhere yesterday morning that they were using a doctored
00:27:05.600
And, and you assumed that they meant that they, they were just, they took the Alex Jones version
00:27:13.640
Now you can, you can convert it in multiple ways.
00:27:15.660
And sir, I mean, we don't know if there's any intent to whoever did it originally.
00:27:20.260
I know that, uh, the Alex Jones circle was sharing it widely.
00:27:27.560
Certain ways make it look worse for, uh, for Acosta than the other way.
00:27:32.840
When you look at the raw tape though, when you look at the actual event, he didn't do
00:27:37.660
The only thing he did wrong was be rude and ridiculous.
00:27:41.320
And the left yesterday on the view was saying that, uh, she accosted him.
00:27:54.440
She's, you know, 23 year old woman is really beating the crap out of this, uh, you know,
00:28:01.820
She tried to get the mic because the president directed her to do that.
00:28:06.080
So, so I've been saying this for a while and I'm always wrong on timing direction.
00:28:13.960
I'm usually pretty close to being right, but I'm always wrong on timing.
00:28:28.060
Everyone is charging and counter charging that you're setting up stuff for violence.
00:28:33.520
Uh, you're going to get someone killed assassinations already are a part of our life.
00:28:40.040
They just haven't been successful yet, but they're already a part of our lives.
00:28:44.760
Um, and God only knows what's coming, but, uh, you kill a journalist.
00:28:54.460
Somebody shoots Sean Hannity or somebody shoots, uh, you know, who's on CNN.
00:29:03.120
I don't even, uh, Cuomo, you've got yourself a serious issue, a serious issue.
00:29:14.680
I don't, I don't even think it takes that kind of event.
00:29:16.980
I think we're teetering on the, you know, I was on election day, Andrew Heaton asked me,
00:29:23.260
so are we, you know, cause we were both watching a newsfeed together and he said, so we're going
00:29:33.380
I thought I was going to say it's America, but is it, is it now?
00:29:39.000
The America that transfers power peacefully and doesn't have tanks and, and Molotov cocktails
00:29:44.780
and all other manner of, uh, weaponry in the streets after an election.
00:29:49.680
It's, you know, so far we, if it's still America, we're not going to have riots and we're not
00:29:54.460
going to have violence, but I don't know that it is.
00:29:58.800
So there's, um, the, the, the real problem is, I think, is that I think there's 60% of
00:30:07.780
this country that is still America and they don't want any of this, but they don't know
00:30:14.980
where about the right percentage, which is frightening.
00:30:17.660
And the, and the left has become, this is a religion now for them.
00:30:26.660
And, um, when you have religious zealots, it's trouble when, whenever a zealot says I'm
00:30:34.860
right and everyone else is wrong, there's your trouble.
00:30:38.540
And, and we are also teaching absolutely everything that is encouraging this.
00:30:48.260
This, this comes from, uh, the West Virginia Gazette mail.
00:30:53.460
And it's a story visiting classrooms for read aloud in West Virginia.
00:31:10.260
I said, I thought about asking him for a try my weight, but I didn't want to hear that
00:31:20.080
It talks about how these parents are going into schools and they're starting to read
00:31:25.080
And they are, uh, nine-year-olds now about, I don't know, 40 paragraphs in, they start
00:31:32.980
talking about how the books that they're reading, uh, which, you know, I don't have any problems
00:31:38.500
You know, they're reading the stinky cheese man and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:31:42.060
The Read Aloud West Virginia had a list of reading suggestions, uh, that work with the
00:31:48.180
librarians and the teachers, but no religion and no politics, said the librarian.
00:31:56.820
If, uh, it's an obviously political or religious book or written by a provocative public figure,
00:32:04.860
Third graders don't need to be read the communist manifesto.
00:32:08.480
And if parents want to read Glenn Beck's Christmas sweater book to their kids, that's up to them.
00:32:15.400
Wait, so you're in the same category as the communist manifesto.
00:32:19.000
So I had, I, I honestly had no problem with that.
00:32:22.700
I'm like, yeah, you know, I'm a polarizing figure, blah, blah, blah, but there's nothing
00:32:25.960
wrong with it, but it is overtly Christian in the end.
00:32:29.880
Um, but then at Cedar Grove, staff made me feel welcome, told me how nice it was that I got
00:32:37.800
Fourth graders gave me a bit of a hard time at first.
00:32:40.120
I'd interrupted the nature lesson that involved a video about monkeys, but I read the stinky
00:32:47.920
A couple of kids tried to get in a joke or two, but overall it went pretty well on my
00:32:54.660
One of the kids heckled me a couple of times and shouted goodbye, Mr.
00:33:03.000
Um, he was asking what the kids would like to see before I left the class.
00:33:07.820
I asked them if they had any requests hand shot up.
00:33:18.320
The first five year old, uh, I called on said five nights at Freddy's.
00:33:27.660
It's a video game series about a security guard trying to stay alive while being hunted
00:33:31.360
by garish audio animatronic killers inside of Chuck E cheese.
00:33:39.900
There's a line of books, toys, and a film based on the games in the work.
00:33:43.960
No, the teacher of the five year olds said, apparently the subject had come up before.
00:33:50.060
So I called on a little girl seated in a chair next to the front.
00:33:53.760
She said, I'd like you to read a story about Pennywise.
00:34:05.140
Pennywise is the evil shape-shifting clown in it.
00:34:08.680
A third boy suggested Jason as in Jason Voorhees.
00:34:17.800
Now, I don't know about you, but if you have five year olds asking for Jason, a girl asking
00:34:29.240
for Pennywise, the Christmas sweater might not be a bad idea to throw in there.
00:34:37.920
You might want to throw a little Christmas sweater in.
00:34:40.180
Of course, as a religious zealot, you'd be saying that.
00:34:47.680
Okay, Pat, thank you very much for stopping by today.
00:34:50.240
Thanks for your hard work on the Pat Gray show, which is called Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:35:06.500
It was a little controversial today because we got toward the end and tried to jam in
00:35:27.880
We'll get the recap of more on trivia on Monday from Pat as he'll bring that in.
00:35:31.380
And if you want to hear it, you can hear it on his podcast, Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:35:36.980
I want to talk to you about our sponsor, Filter By.
00:35:42.660
Yes, we have Filter By because that means the filter will actually get changed.
00:35:51.840
Can you think of any time you've actually changed the filter?
00:36:05.780
You do nothing for yourself, and there's no way you do this.
00:36:13.260
Well, my wife was with me, but we did it as a couple.
00:36:25.140
If I didn't have Filter By, I would never do it.
00:36:27.540
And the house could burn down, and they could say, it was a filter.
00:36:31.440
It was so clogged with 20 years of crap, and I'd be like, huh.
00:36:39.100
You don't have to go, and you don't even have to remember.
00:36:49.220
And you get a 5% discount if you just go on the auto send.
00:36:53.600
So it finds out when you're supposed to change the filter, and then it sends it to you.
00:36:57.940
And then you just go and take it from the front door and pop it in.
00:37:09.680
Bill O'Reilly is coming up in just a few minutes.
00:37:15.020
We have Dimitri in Florida, who voted in Broward County.
00:37:31.260
We're always the laughingstock when it comes to voting.
00:37:33.460
And not to mention, there's a third recount, not just for Governor, Senate, and now for Department of Agriculture's commissioner.
00:37:46.180
It was the Republican winning, and now it's the Democrat.
00:37:54.020
Most people voted for Rick Scott for the Senate.
00:37:57.860
Everyone that I know pretty much has voted for him, whether they be Republican or Democrat, because they all believe that Bill Nelson is basically a seat filler at this point.
00:38:08.720
And now I live two miles away from Parkland, or actually where Stone Douglas is.
00:38:25.520
Most people like Rick Scott because of what he's done with Stone and Douglas and pushing stuff, as well as they believe he's getting a bad rap from the Democrats for a lot of the stuff that...
00:38:38.940
And quickly, because I've only got about 15 seconds left here.
00:38:45.920
Most people didn't want Gillen because it's too radical for us.
00:38:57.620
Hey, it's Glenn, and I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with, and that is The News and Why It Matters.
00:39:08.880
If you like this show, you're going to love The News and Why It Matters.
00:39:12.300
It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.
00:39:19.720
Look for it now wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
00:39:29.140
How many Beto admirers could actually tell you about his policy?
00:39:33.360
Probably more than anyone else on Earth is the ultimate cool guy, Barack Obama.
00:39:39.240
Many on the left are far more likely to remember his change poster.
00:39:46.920
Then his craftiness with drone strikes or his ineptitude for keeping campaign promises.
00:39:53.240
Lately, there's been a push to achieve this with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who leads the court's liberal wing.
00:40:07.020
It's a brand poster that you're going to find in Brooklyn.
00:40:15.800
With a slick rendering of RBG made to look like the iconic photo of Notorious B.O.G. on the cover.
00:40:24.640
Beneath all the graphic design and the fawning, though, Ginsburg is not doing well.
00:40:29.360
Her health is really becoming an unavoidable reality.
00:40:32.600
The left has done its best to keep her, you know, upright.
00:40:36.380
But yesterday brought another reminder that she is not as well as the left is blindly believing.
00:40:42.620
And this poses a danger, I think, to the country because the left is that has their hair on fire.
00:40:50.140
And if something happens to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, it could be the fuse that just pushes us over the edge.
00:41:01.000
I know that Chris Matthews said yesterday that this phrase should be literally outlawed.
00:41:08.620
But please keep Ginsburg in your hopes and prayers.
00:41:19.200
The Supreme Court police rushed to her, rushed her to the Georgetown University Hospital.
00:41:30.220
I cannot even imagine what a broken rib feels like.
00:41:36.560
The fall is the latest in a series of health issues.
00:41:39.360
She's had broken ribs and fallen and broken her ribs.
00:41:44.560
I think two other times she has survived both colon cancer and pancreatic cancer.
00:41:54.640
In 2014, she had a stent placed right in her right coronary artery.
00:42:01.120
And politics aside, we sincerely wish Ms. Ginsburg a speedy recovery and a speedy return to work.
00:42:10.860
We, like President Trump, will keep Ms. Ginsburg in our prayers.
00:42:17.340
The politics of the situation are far less clear.
00:42:20.740
I don't want to remind you what happened last time President Trump nominated a Supreme Court justice by the name of Brett Kavanaugh.
00:42:27.380
But the left did not maintain their cool attitude.
00:42:40.460
How could you possibly escalate what they did to Kavanaugh without violence?
00:42:53.300
And it will be an escalation from what they did to Kavanaugh for the next Supreme Court justice if they have to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:43:03.000
It is we're in a precarious situation, America, and we should be a unique and peculiar people.
00:43:13.380
We on the right should be a people of peace and thoughtfulness and kindness because the other is coming.
00:43:24.100
And somebody's going to need a direction to run.
00:43:35.620
Bill O'Reilly from BillO'Reilly.com and a friend of the program.
00:43:46.020
No, but I knew Anton Scalia a little bit and he liked her.
00:43:50.020
Yeah, which was kind of perplexing to me because, you know, Justice Ginsburg made no, you know, she's not a phony.
00:43:58.180
I mean, she basically said, look, I'm ruling on my political beliefs and the Constitution be damned and that's what I'm going to do.
00:44:04.980
Yeah, she said at one point she was using the South African Constitution to make decisions.
00:44:18.300
It showed that two people that opposed to each other can still be friends.
00:44:25.540
But what you didn't report is that while Justice Ginsburg said she was going to use the South African Constitution,
00:44:31.520
she was also listening to the Paul Simon record recorded down there.
00:44:37.880
So, Bill, let's start with Broward County and Palm Beach County.
00:44:58.540
Complicated issue because, you know, Broward County is a problem, always has been historically, very, very locked up Democrat.
00:45:09.800
And then all of a sudden we're getting a tarn of votes out of Broward County, as Trump just pointed out about 10 minutes ago in a little press conference he had before he got on a plane to go to Paris.
00:45:27.020
And, look, we have a federal elections commission.
00:45:30.980
And I think you've got to hand over all the stuff to it and let the federal oversight kick in.
00:45:38.060
Well, unfortunately, you know, they've done a number on the FBI.
00:45:41.060
So we don't really have the FBI that has, you know, got a lot of confidence with people.
00:45:45.440
I still think that they're competent in doing things like that.
00:45:48.260
I mean, they came up real fast catching the bomber.
00:45:51.000
And, you know, look, if there's any whiff, then the FBI has got to go down, take it away from the state people right away.
00:46:00.640
You have Dr. Brenda Snipes, who is the the election commissioner.
00:46:07.160
In 2016, she got into trouble for throwing away ballots.
00:46:11.420
The judge said she violated federal and state laws on the ballots.
00:46:17.360
But Broward County didn't do anything about it.
00:46:19.840
I mean, because, you know, I don't know whether you know that area.
00:46:30.000
It is the county that with the Stoneman Douglas in it.
00:46:32.700
And we know that they didn't do anything for the the people on the school board who were obviously, you know, had hinky things going on with the shooting.
00:46:43.860
The sheriff, Scott Israel, he's still the sheriff today.
00:46:51.020
I mean, if if I'm working in the the ballot and I tend to be a corrupt person and I see what just happened and nobody did anything to Scott Israel, nobody really did anything except blame the right.
00:47:05.500
What makes you think that anybody's going to say anything about you if you fix the ballot?
00:47:10.940
Well, look, speculation is not really useful here.
00:47:17.420
I think that we have a new attorney general, acting attorney general.
00:47:22.480
Trump mentioned it before he got on his plane today.
00:47:25.800
And I believe that the FBI will be down there very quickly.
00:47:29.640
So tell me about the new attorney general, because that also now is something that the Democrats are saying, you know, we don't accept him.
00:47:38.980
He's this is this is this is probably an impeachable offense, yada, yada, yada.
00:47:44.640
Tell me about him and what you think about Jeff Sessions leaving back.
00:47:48.640
I got to tell you, I just don't even bother with the partisan gibberish anymore.
00:47:54.880
I really don't. I'm so busy with with really important stories and trying to accumulate facts that when these people say this stupid stuff, look, Whitaker is a guy who was entrenched in the Justice Department under Sessions.
00:48:12.500
So he would be the logical guy that anybody would appoint, correct?
00:48:17.060
So you just the apparatus in the Justice Department continues to roll because you put a guy in who knows what's happening.
00:48:24.900
And then a few months from now, you nominate who you believe should be the new attorney general.
00:48:33.560
Now, Whitaker is on record is saying that he didn't believe the Hillary Clinton investigation was conducted properly.
00:48:39.540
I believe that will be proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the inspector general's report.
00:48:46.460
He's also, you know, skeptical about power given to Robert Mueller and other special prosecutors as anybody should be.
00:48:55.700
All right. So I don't see any problem with him.
00:48:59.940
Remember that Joe Manchin, who, you know, was supposed to be this guy who was going to, you know, kind of, you know, he was going to come from both.
00:49:09.540
But, you know, both sides, he's the guy who came out yesterday and was talking about impeachment for the president because of what's because of this.
00:49:18.900
Somebody teed him off in the Trump administration.
00:49:33.240
Sessions looked befuddled in the job from day one.
00:49:42.280
Why isn't he taking a more aggressive posture, i.e. sanctuary cities?
00:49:49.320
He just, you know, when you're a senator or a congressperson, part of your job, and sometimes all of your job,
00:49:56.520
is being diplomatic and trying to raise money and trying to backslap and schmoozerama and all this.
00:50:07.240
You know, he's supposed to kick doors down and get bad guys.
00:50:10.660
That's the kind of attorney general I would like.
00:50:20.260
Jeff Sessions was, you know, I just don't know.
00:50:33.480
I said on BillOReilly.com on Wednesday, it's going to be Chris Christie.
00:50:44.380
And Trump even said it today in his little impromptu press conference.
00:50:48.340
So that's, if you're going to place a bet, that's what you place your bet on.
00:51:09.840
I didn't really run the state of New Jersey that well.
00:51:16.640
I don't like, I don't like, you know, I feel the same way about Rudy Giuliani, and I like Rudy Giuliani.
00:51:23.580
But, you know, I don't want a guy who you're like, hey, how come Bill's not in this meeting?
00:51:30.980
You know, I did a real good job with law enforcement in New York City, though.
00:51:39.180
But boy, oh boy, did he clean up New York City.
00:51:42.980
Let me go to, I've got so much to talk to you about.
00:51:46.760
I'm going to talk to you about Tucker Carlson, Acosta, the shooting at Thousand Oaks, and so much more.
00:51:55.200
When we come back with Bill O'Reilly, the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Killing the SS, a great book available everywhere, Killing the SS.
00:52:15.600
Do you remember the name of those fancy chairs that they're like, I don't even know.
00:52:22.500
They're the ones who make all of the chairs in the airports, you know, those really nasty chairs in the airport.
00:52:33.060
And everybody's like, oh, that's the greatest chair ever.
00:52:42.940
The X Chair is in that class, but it does not have that price tag.
00:52:53.360
It has, I don't even know how many adjustments.
00:52:58.080
And it can fit your body, whatever that body shape is.
00:53:03.940
And now for the holidays, they have new colors in.
00:53:10.140
If you need something for your office home, for your office, or if you want something for the staff, this is the chair to buy.
00:53:20.000
They also have their X Flex Top Sit Stand Desk that you can check out as well at XChairBeck.com.
00:53:37.000
Comes with a 30-day, no questions asked, guarantee of complete satisfaction.
00:53:40.600
If they don't love it, if you don't love it, just come by and pick it up.
00:53:44.920
And if you use the promo code Beck, you're also going to get a free footrest as well.
00:53:57.660
It is Friday and Bill O'Reilly from BillOReilly.com joins us.
00:54:02.220
Let me take you to what happened in front of Tucker Carlson's house.
00:54:09.640
This is what we believe to be Antifa surrounding his house at night,
00:54:35.140
Bill O'Reilly, who has had his share of threats as well.
00:54:53.980
And I had to have actual armed guards sleep inside my house.
00:55:01.100
Is there anything worse on your family than having to have...
00:55:05.040
I've had armed guards sleeping at the doors of our bedrooms.
00:55:10.580
You know, one of the reasons that I don't regret leaving Fox News is because I don't have to deal with that anymore.
00:55:17.620
And I had to deal with it every day of my life for 16 years once we became number one.
00:55:24.160
The first four, when we were coming up, I didn't have to deal with it that much.
00:55:27.400
But once we became successful, then the threats came every direction.
00:55:33.360
So, you know, I recommended on my website that Tucker Cawson file charges and also sue civilly.
00:55:47.260
I found it interesting that Antifa, that has been accused of being the group here, Antifa, their Twitter feed was suspended.
00:56:05.260
Well, look, whoever did it deserves to be punished.
00:56:18.180
I will tell you that this is exactly what happened in the late 1920s, 1930s in Germany.
00:56:28.560
Also happened in 1919 here in America and in the mid-30s here in America as well.
00:56:42.860
If these people aren't punished, then this is going to escalate to where, as you said, somebody's going to get killed or badly hurt.
00:56:59.760
When we're not going to know, we know where you sleep at night.
00:57:03.760
That individual, Tucker Carlson said, was on his show recently.
00:57:11.440
I had two people tell me last night that they also recognize the voice.
00:57:18.920
And they said, this guy was just on Tucker's show.
00:57:23.780
You can take that audio and they can voice print that.
00:57:27.740
We will find out who that guy was if he's in the public eye.
00:57:38.100
And, you know, Mr. Carlson himself is I would file absolutely file a lawsuit against these people for putting my family in danger.
00:57:49.800
Bill, we talked about this earlier this week, and it kind of goes here.
00:57:53.480
What we saw in the in the original vote, I don't know how it's going to turn out now, was that the American people turned down the real strident right in in Romney counties.
00:58:14.540
And they turned down the the crazy left all across the country, which told me that we have a big portion of America that is just not interested in this kind of fight.
00:58:29.780
I think they fear these people, these kinds of real committed zealots who will stop at nothing to advance their political agenda.
00:58:42.500
I think they're feared by independent Americans who say this is in our country.
00:58:50.900
And there's an article today in The Wall Street Journal that Elizabeth Warren has finished.
00:58:57.980
I don't think the Democratic Party can go with Bernie Sanders or any of these far, far left people.
00:59:06.220
I also want to talk to you about Acosta and the shooting in Thousand Oaks, California.
00:59:12.720
And I kind of like to tie that to, again, Germany and your book, Killing the SS.
00:59:24.720
I've got three topics I need to cover here in the next 10 minutes.
00:59:28.860
But, Bill, first of all, let me ask you about Elizabeth Warren.
00:59:32.220
Warren, you said you thought she was done because she was too far left.
00:59:36.620
Would you include Cory Booker and Spartacus in that and Bernie Sanders?
00:59:41.740
Yeah, and Gillibrand and the Senator Kamala Harris from California.
00:59:48.160
That whole crew that's trying to sell socialized medicine, high corporate taxation, high personal taxation.
01:00:00.220
What do you think about Michelle Obama starting to move in?
01:00:06.900
She's just doing a lot of things that just seem presidential.
01:00:20.040
Do you think she's a possibility of a candidate?
01:00:35.420
I wrote a column on BillOReilly.com, which gets into it, and I don't have time on the Beck program.
01:00:40.560
He has far more important guests than me to really get into the micro of it.
01:00:44.340
But if you want to know, BillOReilly.com has a column.
01:00:47.200
Acosta's job, Beck, as you know, is to get information to the people that watch CNN.
01:00:52.600
So, on a presidential press conference, his job is to ask questions.
01:01:03.900
Not get a response that would be helpful to CNN viewers, and it would up their information flow.
01:01:10.000
He basically says, you know, you call the caravan an invasion.
01:01:19.200
I mean, and you're looking at it going, all right, so you just attacked the president of the United States and insinuated he's a liar,
01:01:26.460
or that he's incompetent and doesn't know what an invasion is.
01:01:32.420
Now, if CNN wants to give Acosta a primetime opinion show, good.
01:01:36.220
Their ratings are so low, he couldn't do much worse.
01:01:42.660
And then when the president of the United States, and I've interviewed five of them, says, sit down.
01:01:49.120
So, there's, it's, because the only thing that happens after that is chaos.
01:01:57.300
But here's the problem with the rest of the West, the rest, the rest of the press corps.
01:02:12.840
They should have suspended him or, you know, apologized.
01:02:27.000
See, look, once Trump was president two years ago, once he won, then the media chieftains
01:02:32.800
basically sat down and said, OK, we're embarrassed.
01:02:41.640
So MSNBC, under the Comcast banner, CNN under Tom Warner, basically told their people, get
01:02:51.840
And then the Fox people, in response to that, basically sent out a message, we're going to
01:02:59.580
support Trump so that all the Trump supporters watch Fox and all the Trump haters divide themselves
01:03:10.360
What I want to ask you is what I do not want the president picking and choosing who's going
01:03:17.200
But I cannot think of anything because he's already tried not to call on.
01:03:23.820
So what is the president to do other than what he did?
01:03:27.960
Not the president, but the White House communications office is to issue standards that when the
01:03:36.000
president says sit down and that's the end of the questioning, you sit down and shut up.
01:03:45.240
And if they issue that so everybody knows what the rules are, it'll be a lot easier to enforce
01:04:03.280
But it doesn't matter because if they don't, then they're out.
01:04:21.760
And first of all, before I get into the aftermath of that, any thoughts on on that?
01:04:28.680
My analysis on the shooting in the bar is the same as it was in the synagogue shooting,
01:04:37.700
the church in Charleston and the high school in Broward County, Florida.
01:04:42.100
The men that have done this have a one thing in common.
01:04:53.520
They are emotionally disturbed individuals who in the 1950s and 60s, when you and I grew
01:05:10.680
OK, you can live on this machine and talk to other people as screwed up as you are.
01:05:16.200
And then finally, when you look around and see your life means nothing and you don't believe
01:05:21.000
in anything, you have no relationships with anybody, then you say, I want to end it, but
01:05:32.540
There is a really powerful video that is out of this mother whose son was not killed in
01:05:40.120
Vegas, but was there, survived and then was killed here.
01:05:42.880
And you can understand what she's saying because, you know, her son was just killed and she's
01:05:50.080
Now, you know, it's not appropriate to talk to the mom about this at this point, but California
01:06:00.820
What they're really saying is we want ban, gun ban, not gun control, because gun control
01:06:14.340
OK, so anybody possessing a gun, you have to give it up or we arrest you.
01:06:23.800
OK, they want to disarm the entire population, particularly with handguns and AKs, things
01:06:43.820
And they're and the ban will work out even worse because the only people defense.
01:06:57.260
But if you want to protect yourself with a handgun in a dangerous neighborhood, they would
01:07:10.560
First is Chris Cuomo last night, and then it's followed by Chris Matthews.
01:07:15.340
The only consensus there is is in a canard, and here it is.
01:07:20.560
First, I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers, because that's what you do when you
01:07:29.500
You mock those who lost loved ones, because if you gave it any thought at all, you would
01:07:34.760
never walk away from any of these without figuring out a better way to deal with them.
01:07:48.060
Because somebody's a nut, or this guy, a nut has a gun, a gun with a nut, a nut with a
01:07:53.000
gun, whatever it is, somebody with an attitude, a bad life experience, whatever it is.
01:07:57.060
The easiness with you get a semi-automatic Glock, which is beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
01:08:01.320
It doesn't take any intelligence or skill or talent to use one of these guns to just kill people
01:08:06.280
in their face, and they're doing it now with some rapidity in this country.
01:08:12.860
The moments of silence are about all that Congress has the guts to do, and it's not good enough.
01:08:23.340
I know it's well-intended in some cases, but usually it's a throwaway line by a staffer
01:08:29.780
Bill O'Reilly mocking thoughts and prayers and then calling for it to be outlawed.
01:08:36.280
Look, Cuomo and Matthews play to a crew, all right?
01:08:48.980
You don't get discretionary viewing with Chris Cuomo and Chris Matthews.
01:08:54.320
The crew is largely secular, doesn't really believe in religion to any meaningful extent,
01:09:05.360
So, prayers and thoughts to that crew, that's like a waste of time.
01:09:13.940
And then the overall message that they send is what I just told you.
01:09:23.600
They won't say that because that becomes an extreme position.
01:09:27.580
They can get in a lot of trouble, so they'll never, but they'll code it.
01:09:34.600
The cliche is dog whistles, you know, that ridiculous phrase.
01:09:38.700
But if you will look and step back and see what really drives this mass murder,
01:09:53.900
But we're a free society, and there's no solution to that.
01:09:58.320
So you can live the way you want to live unless you break the law.
01:10:02.500
And what happens is these people, they get so isolated, so desperate, so hopeless,
01:10:07.520
they decide, I'm leaving the planet, and I'm taking people with me.
01:10:12.880
And you're not going to stop that no matter what you do.
01:10:19.880
Bill, any thoughts on, you know, you just finished all your research with the SS.
01:10:26.040
We are, you know, talking about, you know, banning guns.
01:10:29.960
We're talking about banning speech, intimidation.
01:10:34.140
You have Antifa on the street, which is, you know, our American version now of the brown shirts.
01:10:45.420
Well, I don't think that what happened in Nazi Germany can happen here.
01:10:51.580
I do believe that we are heading the United States into a period of time where hatred
01:11:04.460
And that led to power being distributed to the Nazis,
01:11:17.460
But the hatred is going to cause people to be harmed.
01:11:24.420
And we have to, we commentators, you, me, and the other sane people with radio and television exposure,
01:11:37.920
And all of us have to collectively fight evil, which is the theme of killing the SS.
01:11:46.980
Not ridiculously inflame the hatred, which is what you're seeing now in much of the media.
01:12:04.560
I will tell you, I said this earlier this week,
01:12:11.900
And everything this audience has always said, and I've, I've strived for it for so long.
01:12:20.640
And others, you know, they just wanted to make their own path.
01:12:27.620
But we are starting to work together, which I think is really good.
01:12:31.560
We're not looking at each other as competitors.
01:12:34.000
We are looking at each other as, you know, patriots that are in the fight together.
01:12:41.440
And we may disagree with each other, but we're in the fight together.
01:12:44.340
And I think that is really important, especially as voices are going to be squelched.
01:12:51.380
And as things get tougher and tougher, we need to, as Franklin said, hang together or we will all hang separately.
01:13:02.480
Simply Safe is a way to keep your family safe at home at night.
01:13:06.640
It's a way to make sure that nobody is opening up windows or doors.
01:13:13.840
And if somebody does come in or try to get in, the siren scares them off.
01:13:18.340
The police are called right away and their picture is taken.
01:13:23.420
And it's not one of these really crappy pictures.
01:13:25.620
You're like, well, that gray blob there is the guy we're looking for.
01:13:31.040
Simply Safe keeps more than two millions Americans safe every single day.
01:13:35.820
I've Simply Safe in my home, my daughter's home.
01:13:46.700
It starts, you know, just by going online and ordering now.
01:13:56.180
The sensors are practically invisible, so they don't wreck the look of your house.
01:14:01.380
And before you know it, your home is set up for professional monitoring 24 hours a day.
01:14:25.740
So, Chris Cuomo was mocking people with their thoughts and prayers and said,
01:14:30.600
enough is enough because you're only mocking people and you're not doing anything about it.
01:14:35.360
Yeah, I'll read the quote in case you missed it.
01:14:36.680
The only thing you people do after these shootings is hopes and prayers or keep you in my thoughts every time
01:14:48.260
No, it was a little different than Chris Cuomo.
01:14:49.620
I mean, in the exact same point, the wording's a tad different.
01:14:52.380
Yeah, he said hopes and prayers where I thought Cuomo said thoughts and prayers.
01:14:55.920
Yeah, the difference is that the quote I just read came from the California shooter moments before the attack on Facebook.
01:15:02.500
This was the, every leftist you see on Twitter, on television, on Facebook today that's saying this whole mocking thoughts and prayers thing is expressing the exact thing that the California shooter expressed on Facebook immediately before the shooting.
01:15:17.040
And he wanted it to be his, it's his manifesto.
01:15:23.420
The Unabomber manifesto, they had, the FBI had to basically force news organizations to print.
01:15:28.320
When people have manifestos, they don't want them on the air.
01:15:30.940
Every one of these leftists is going on television and reading his manifesto, just rewording it and giving it their own endorsement over and over and over again, all over the media today.
01:15:40.940
Unbeknownst to them, because they probably haven't even looked at what he wrote.
01:15:46.820
But thank you, Chris Cuomo and Chris Matthews for making the killers manifesto your own.
01:16:00.840
I want to talk to you a little bit about our shared fate.
01:16:17.720
But we ought to be careful of throwing more logs on the fire because we share the same fate.
01:16:27.220
What happens to the left will happen to the right.
01:16:31.940
What happens to the right will happen to the left because we are one nation.
01:16:41.740
When we see pain in someone, it is human nature.
01:16:46.400
It is one of the best things about humans is to see the pain in others, to feel empathy.
01:17:05.700
Of course, I wasn't looking for it, but I didn't see it yesterday about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
01:17:13.060
You know, the president came out, said nice things.
01:17:16.140
You know, everybody I know said nice things about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
01:17:19.060
We, you know, we don't wish ill on people and we don't wish pain on people, but we're beginning to.
01:17:26.280
The head of Vox came out and said, no, I don't have any sympathy for Tucker Carlson's family or his wife.
01:17:45.280
Americans have always believed in taking care of the least fortunate.
01:17:50.300
And half the country believes that's just a scam now for the other half.
01:17:56.480
And one had the other half thinks that nobody even cares about people.
01:18:32.420
We shouldn't be hoping for chaos in the streets because we have a shared fate.
01:18:50.200
I want to share something that I wrote in Addicted to Outrage.
01:19:00.300
And a lot of people are, you know, they don't like Don Lemon.
01:19:03.320
And you have reason to be, you know, disappointed or angry with him, especially recently.
01:19:09.360
But when I wrote this, he had just called the president a racist.
01:19:21.640
The first paragraph was about me and how bad of a human being I was because I dared question the president on race.
01:19:30.320
He said, Glenn Beck once said that the president was a racist.
01:19:39.920
And I immediately corrected it and said, no, that's not quite right.
01:19:47.840
How many times has this president been called a racist?
01:19:51.840
Let me let me read what I wrote now, Don Lemon and others say that Donald Trump is a racist and they're applauded for it by the left and vilified by the state, the red state voters.
01:20:07.260
What Don, however, is saying is, I believe very much what I tried to express.
01:20:16.040
And because I'm not sure what it is, I'll use the most basic word I have to describe what I'm feeling.
01:20:22.280
Now, the feeling I believe that Don cannot pinpoint or perhaps even understand is the loss of heritage and national identity.
01:20:34.420
Now, a lot of people on the left do not have this this loyalty.
01:20:43.060
I do not mean it the way this is going to sound.
01:20:45.740
I'm using one of the moral principles that Jonathan Haidt, a guy from the left, says that the the left just doesn't have and they don't understand it.
01:20:57.740
It is the loyalty to the country, the loyalty to our heritage.
01:21:05.660
We all need the people who are way out on the edge.
01:21:08.640
And you need the people who are the stick in the muds, because together we actually get it right.
01:21:14.040
So they don't have the same loyalty to the flag or the same understanding to our future.
01:21:20.900
They don't feel the same way on the 4th of July.
01:21:26.080
And we generally say, well, that's because you're a heartless communist.
01:21:30.880
So the feeling Don cannot pinpoint or perhaps even understand is the loss of heritage and national identity.
01:21:39.940
Many Americans feel that every good that this country has done is being erased or ignored by the elites.
01:21:47.480
The white culture or the white male cisgender hierarchy really just means to many on the left, the Western Judeo Christian culture.
01:21:58.960
And those who are comfortable with cisgender talk are not comfortable with Judeo Christian talk.
01:22:05.100
But believe me, in many times, in many ways, we're talking about the same thing.
01:22:11.060
Maybe it is racist to some, but a deep seated hatred of the white culture seems to fit.
01:22:22.000
Perhaps Don Lemon, who I know and I like, does hate the Western world.
01:22:27.920
But what we all fail to see is we're talking over each other.
01:22:31.640
No one on either side is willing to recognize that our verbiage is doing as much damage as our belief system.
01:22:40.120
I believe that what Barack Obama and those in the Marxist gender, race and inequality studies, you know, spoke about as fairness was and is understood by many Americans as racist and sexist.
01:22:55.560
And when Trump or his supporters speak of the loss of traditional values, the left hears, I hate Mexicans and them gays, too.
01:23:03.740
On both sides, what we hear in some cases may be accurate at some level.
01:23:12.160
But it is the level of those who mean it this way that makes all the difference.
01:23:19.060
And this point is we don't trust each other enough.
01:23:34.240
And we have to find the language that can do it.
01:23:37.980
I go to so many different churches and I love it.
01:23:45.260
And I I love it because I can laugh so many times because I can speak different languages.
01:23:52.760
I, you know, I know what people mean when they say, you know, let the blood of Jesus wash over you.
01:24:02.540
And in my faith, that might make people uncomfortable.
01:24:05.000
People who don't go to a church that talks about the blood of Christ, they misunderstand it.
01:24:16.120
They're saying the same thing as let forgive yourself, forgive others, let let redemption happen.
01:24:26.700
Now, there are people who don't like the word redemption because redemption.
01:24:33.240
I need to be redeemed because I'm so it's crazy what happens with words.
01:24:39.060
But as I sit in all of these different groups and I listen to people.
01:24:42.760
You're you're all saying pretty much the same thing.
01:24:51.000
You go to, you know, you go to, you know, the church of Satan, I guess.
01:25:04.600
And those people, we're never going to be able to find the right language because there is no right language to bring us together.
01:25:10.920
But how many of our differences are being caused because we're not willing to accept anything other than the worst in one another?
01:25:33.880
His point is, is that there are moral foundations that the left and the right have the left and right only have three in common because the left only focuses on three.
01:25:53.100
But we generally lean on the three that they don't have.
01:26:03.360
This foundation is related to a long evolution as mammals with our attachment systems and an ability to feel and dislike the pain of others.
01:26:11.980
It underlies the virtues of kindness, gentleness and nurturance.
01:26:20.500
This foundation related to the evolutionary process of reciprocal altruism.
01:26:24.940
It generates ideas of justice and rights and autonomy.
01:26:30.140
Fairness included originally equality, which was more strongly endorsed by political liberals.
01:26:37.040
However, as we reformulated the theory based on new data, we emphasize proportionality, which is endorsed by everyone.
01:26:47.840
Can you take the fruits of your labor and is it not an equal outcome?
01:26:53.540
But is it is it in some way connected to what you do?
01:27:03.440
This is the one that they don't have loyalty and betrayal.
01:27:07.580
Foundation is related to our long history as tribal creatures able to form shifting coalitions.
01:27:12.920
It underlines virtues of patriotism and self-sacrifice for the group.
01:27:17.360
It is active anytime people think that it is one for all and all for one authority and subversion.
01:27:24.300
The foundation was shaped by our long primate history of hierarchical social interactions.
01:27:29.040
It underlines virtues of leadership and followership.
01:27:33.340
It includes deference to legitimate authority and respect for traditions.
01:27:39.660
I'm speaking generally, and this is Jonathan Haidt, who is a liberal.
01:27:48.100
This foundation was shaped by the psychology of disgust and contamination.
01:27:53.460
It underlies religious notions of striving to live in an elevated, less carnal and more noble way.
01:28:00.200
It underlines the widespread idea that the body is a temple and can be desecrated by immoral activities.
01:28:08.180
The last one is liberty and oppression, and this one the left does have, except they have oppression.
01:28:17.400
We also have oppression, but we emphasize liberty.
01:28:20.860
The foundation is about the feelings of reactance and resentments.
01:28:25.700
People feel towards those who dominate them and restrict their liberty.
01:28:30.200
Okay, it goes on, but here's the thing I want to show you.
01:28:35.500
We have to start concentrating on oppression, care and harm, and fairness and cheating.
01:28:42.680
Those are the three languages and morals that the left understands and speaks.
01:29:04.000
We need to start showing the people that Antifa is harming and show the people that are really, truly innocent standing by the side.
01:29:16.900
Because he showed the big, bad policemen and the racist in the South as harming people who were doing nothing wrong, who were just looking for peace and fairness.
01:29:31.960
When you're looking for fairness, when you're looking for fairness and someone is causing harm to you, the left understands that as a bad guy.
01:29:42.800
Well, you have that, you have that in Antifa, you have that in bad people, bad actors, but we don't respond.
01:29:57.560
And just asking for fairness in a polite, gentle way today.
01:30:06.980
We didn't have the fear of the violence under Barack Obama as much as we do right now.
01:30:16.520
We also need to show that what's happening in our school is oppression.
01:30:22.420
But we have to speak at a softer tone, not throwing accusations, because we're not talking to the people who are actually doing it.
01:30:36.540
We're never going to break ground with those who want to indoctrinate our kids and oppress them and tell them to shut up, sit down and just say these words.
01:30:50.220
We need to find ways to show our friends, not on the left, but in the Democratic Party, that you are standing with people who are causing harm.
01:31:38.280
And they don't recognize their own failing because they're so convinced of their own rationality, open-mindedness, and enlightenment.
01:31:44.340
We need to help citizens develop sympathetic relationships so they seek to understand each other instead of trying to use reason, because reason follows the moral sentiments.
01:31:58.860
Second, we need to create time for contemplation.
01:32:01.720
Research shows two minutes of reflection on a good argument can change a person's mind.
01:32:07.600
And we don't have any time to reflect in today's society anymore.
01:32:17.360
ZipRecruiter is a way for you to find the most qualified jobs.
01:32:22.100
They find the most qualified people because they listen to what you're looking for as a business owner.
01:32:31.100
And then they go out and they search the Internet and they search all the job sites.
01:32:35.800
And they have just they're the biggest they have the biggest file of people looking for a job in the country.
01:32:41.880
Now, they're the biggest job headhunter in the country now.
01:32:45.480
And at ZipRecruiter, and they have all these computer scientists that have come up with all kinds of algorithms and ways to be able to find the perfect match for you.
01:32:55.780
They now say you can get the perfect match within an hour at ZipRecruiter.
01:33:00.500
It's really, really, truly amazing what they've done.
01:33:05.880
If you're looking to hire somebody, do it for free right now.
01:33:12.620
It's the number one job site and voted number one for hiring.
01:33:25.080
Look, you know, one thing that I think people are not going to pay attention to are the people who are going to be in the most danger in the future are going to be the people like Malcolm X,
01:33:33.020
who were once fired or fired up and were tearing us apart and who will wake up and say, wait a minute.
01:33:41.500
Louis Farrakhan is claimed in the past in subtle ways that he was responsible for the killing of Malcolm X because he betrayed the cause by going all soft.
01:33:54.660
But listen to what let me use Don Lemon as example.
01:33:59.780
Don Lemon would never call me and say, Glenn, you know, this thing about calling Barack Obama a racist.
01:34:07.900
I don't even understand how you got there and have a serious conversation.
01:34:14.100
And we could have had a good, open conversation and it would have been healing for the country.
01:34:21.020
Same thing with Don Lemon, where he came out, you know, and said, I think Donald Trump is a racist.
01:34:25.360
If he would if he would sit down and really listen, but the arrogance is too high.
01:34:32.280
If he would sit down and listen and you could say, look, Don, here's what I think you're feeling.
01:34:41.740
It could be with some people, but it's not what people are afraid of.
01:34:51.800
They feel as though the American ideals, principles and history is under attack and that everyone is saying that it's this culture needs to be destroyed.
01:35:05.860
If if somebody would come out like Don Lemon and say, guys, I get it.
01:35:20.940
There's a lot of good things about America that that the right understands.
01:35:27.480
It would deescalate things and you'd be able to have a conversation because how many people in America would go?
01:35:46.260
It's a fear of losing the things that we really, truly feel are good for all of us.
01:35:54.720
We are a nation that is we're segregating each other.
01:36:17.140
But we are now segregating ourselves online, too.
01:36:20.180
So all of our opinions, we're only comfortable with the ones that we think are on our side because everything has been made into a war.
01:36:30.640
Ideas, ideas are what we should be looking for.
01:36:36.160
Now, studies show that conservatives are actually better at this than liberals.
01:36:46.060
If you go to, you know, you go to a barbecue and you start talking about it for the most part, and this may be changing and it's bad if it does.
01:36:56.520
If you go to a barbecue and there's a bunch of conservatives there and you start spouting liberal ideas, but you're decent about it.
01:37:05.380
And most likely you'll have a lot of people who will engage you on that and talk to you about it and want to know your point of view, et cetera, et cetera.
01:37:17.300
You go into a cocktail party on Madison Avenue or on Central Park West and you start talking about, well, I don't know.
01:37:26.320
I mean, Donald Trump has done some good things.
01:37:33.400
That is a problem good at, you know, good at examining other people's ideas, not so good at examining their own ideas and their own being self-reflective.
01:37:45.420
And that's what we need to work on is being more self-reflective and and having these conversations and not necessarily.
01:37:57.000
You know, let me let me read a bit of what I wrote in the book Addicted to Outrage, which also fits today, what I wrote about Samantha B.
01:38:09.400
There is a there is a there is a chapter in here about Samantha B and about why I did what I did with Samantha B and how it worked out.
01:38:27.160
Most people outside my audience don't know this, but I used to be funny.
01:38:30.540
In fact, early in my talk radio career, stations weren't sure they wanted a funny, not all political talk show on before Rush Limbaugh.
01:38:36.860
I traveled a ton and I would do 40 city comedy tours every year.
01:38:40.860
Then when we went to Iraq, which I had supported when I saw.
01:38:44.660
But later when I saw we really didn't have a plan that would work, I soured.
01:38:48.300
But I began to understand the Patriot Act was anything but patriotic.
01:38:52.380
I saw the Republicans betray everything that they said they believed in.
01:38:57.280
And I saw us abandon the free market to save the free market.
01:39:00.060
I, too, wanted hope and change, just not from the guy who had been a good friend of Jeremiah Wright and was an active member of his church.
01:39:09.160
Things began to change for me, and I knew we had and I knew how to draw a crowd, how to make people laugh.
01:39:15.180
But it was important to me to expose and convince the country that many Americans were horribly and dangerously wrong.
01:39:25.680
I explained to Sam my journey, my mistakes and my regrets.
01:39:30.640
I think for perhaps the first time she had a little understanding of me and what I had tried to do.
01:39:36.260
If, in fact, she didn't explains the path that she took.
01:39:42.280
I'm talking about a private conversation that we had in a dressing room, and I'm only exposing it because I want you to understand.
01:39:52.320
I want you to understand how this happens to all of us, to all of us, and only the honest will be able to get out of it.
01:40:01.600
CNN will not be able to get out of the Jim Acosta spiral, death spiral, because they are not being honest.
01:40:11.160
I told her that an audience that she would get would cheer and would grow the more she took on the king, whoever that king would be.
01:40:21.260
The more she fed their outrage with her coverage, the more they would cheer.
01:40:25.760
But in the end, even though she said she was not doing it for ratings because, and I believed her on this, she honestly had something to say that she thought would help.
01:40:34.700
She would end up doing damage that she didn't recognize at the time that would divide us even further, even if it wasn't her intent.
01:40:42.740
I tried to explain how I really believed and in some ways still really believe that I was acting as a pressure valve, reliefing steam that my own side needed released.
01:40:57.680
What I hadn't seen is that by making my own side laugh, I was also inflicting deep wounds on the other half.
01:41:06.440
Those wounds she would also inflict and she would, as time goes by, regret them more and more because I believe she was smart and deeply compassionate, who happens to be tasked with making her tribe laugh.
01:41:18.460
And at the same time, being an activist for what she believes in, I saw trouble.
01:41:23.120
This is a new territory for most people who can do it or paid a great deal of money and are encouraged by those who pay them to keep going.
01:41:35.680
Go get them because it will mean eyeballs and ratings.
01:41:44.900
I told her I'm not a comedian, but an opinion guy who moonlighted at being funny on the side.
01:41:49.700
But if I had to do it all over again with the knowledge I have now, I would probably end up mostly doing the same way I did the first time with a few exceptions.
01:41:58.660
I told her as a student of history, I hadn't found any examples of anyone in the media, comedy, etc.
01:42:03.500
who had ever charted a successful course through these waters.
01:42:06.880
A few weeks later, I called her to discuss coming with me to Detroit to do a service project together with the caveat that our audiences were not allowed to talk politics.
01:42:15.900
We would then end a weekend at some theater and discuss what our audiences learned about the other side, working side by side.
01:42:22.600
She said, I don't know how I can make that funny.
01:42:25.400
My next suggestion a few months later was come with me to Asia or Africa and rescue slave children.
01:42:33.140
I said, the funny is, is you being locked in a plane with me at 40,000 feet with nothing but ocean underneath for 8 to 12 hours.
01:42:43.160
The more and more I saw her clips and her stories, the more worried I became for her.
01:42:47.080
She had chosen a course, or perhaps like me, it was the only one she knew or understood how to work.
01:42:52.440
And it was the path that she, that I felt she would soon regret.
01:42:56.400
When she finally called Ivanka the C word, I cringed.
01:43:02.520
But unlike that moment for me, this was scripted and she meant it.
01:43:07.780
It was planned and approved in a comedy room and by producers.
01:43:12.060
Somehow this feminist had gotten to the point of calling another woman a name that even Donald Trump hadn't used, at least in public, when he described where celebrities could grab women.
01:43:21.980
It was degrading and an insult when he referred to that as locker room talk.
01:43:27.360
But without justifying it at all, it is who he is.
01:43:31.000
And you don't change when you're successful because you have no motive to change.
01:43:36.840
What's more, everyone around you at the time is incentivized to boost you up, to empower and enable you to go even further.
01:43:42.900
No one around Trump or be provided any kind of real pushback.
01:43:47.220
They had surrounded themselves with like minded people who had seen success and provided no help to the talent or the person because that was all part of what made them successful.
01:44:02.660
No one at CNN is going to tell Jim Acosta to stop.
01:44:07.280
No one is going to tell him that because they see this as, oh, he's the guy going after.
01:44:18.900
That makes us the other side, the opposing side when it comes to when it comes to Trump, not seeing that everything they accused me of or Fox of during the Obama years is exactly what they're doing now, except to the 10th power.
01:44:41.660
Remember, I was called on the carpet by Fox for saying that.
01:44:46.300
Bill O'Reilly had me in his studio and asked me about that.
01:45:04.500
They're jumping into the boat, calling the president racist.
01:45:07.840
They're jumping into the boat saying, yep, we can treat this president any way we want in press conferences.
01:45:34.180
You know, these people are just enemies of mine.
01:45:36.800
And in prayer, I strongly felt, no, they're not.
01:45:43.480
They're enemies of freedom and they're mine to deal with, not yours.
01:46:11.020
And you are so convinced that this person is your enemy or the enemy of all mankind.
01:46:30.100
You can head into really dangerous waters quickly.
01:46:35.940
They still, they still pillory me for the Washington Post today has a story out where they're pilloring me for conspiracy theories.
01:47:03.140
You mean like when I said it was going to be 1968 and there would be assassinations?
01:47:06.800
Because we've already had people shot and we are coming into even worse things.
01:47:11.700
What part of the conspiracy are you still harping on?
01:47:14.680
While at the same time you're floating all kinds of conspiracies about this president?
01:47:25.180
We have to stand out and be different because more and more people are going to be really angry and gosh.
01:47:58.100
And that was one thing my father taught me that really pissed me off.
01:48:25.100
It's like why I don't I don't want to play the woman today from from a thousand oaks, the woman who lost her son.
01:48:34.840
He had gone through the shooting over in Vegas and survived and then came home and was now shot at a thousand oaks shooting.
01:48:44.460
And I can understand how she just doesn't want any she don't want anything.
01:48:50.380
She don't want to hear about thoughts and prayers.
01:48:55.380
I'm not not playing that because of what she said, but it's because of the emotion.
01:49:02.080
I can understand how she feels, but we don't ever make any good decisions when we're motivated by anger or deep emotions.
01:49:21.640
So there is a few things that a few things that you should be really aware of, especially with tech.
01:49:38.840
If you don't understand those three things, I think you're going to be you're on the way to understanding the future.
01:49:47.680
Cryptocurrency is just it's it's it's mind bending.
01:49:52.600
How long did it take us to a couple of years to really kind of understand it?
01:49:58.020
When you first heard about it, if you would have listened.
01:50:03.740
Up anyway, Tika Tuari is one of the best guys to talk about cryptocurrency and and to teach about it and blockchain.
01:50:12.780
And it's something you need to understand whether you invest or not.
01:50:15.120
I want you to take the smart crypto course, smart crypto course dot com.
01:50:19.180
You will see what blockchain is and why it's going to affect everything.
01:50:24.740
The world is just on the edge of having this explode.
01:50:29.100
Go to smart crypto course dot com smart crypto course dot com and take the course or call 877 PBL back smart crypto course dot com.
01:50:48.200
Things are great in Oneida County and we miss you.
01:50:52.720
You've talked about moving forward and I've seen this cycle go on and on and on.
01:51:00.100
We can never, ever, ever move forward until we start treating our fellow man with kindness and love and true to kindness and respect.
01:51:09.320
We show it with our manners in a positive visual way.
01:51:16.920
You know, one of my greatest mentors were dogs.
01:51:19.680
And I've learned how to treat my fellow man as their dog would treat them when they come home at night.
01:51:26.360
And I have that attitude because I want to be missed when I'm gone.
01:51:31.560
And I know how dearly we miss our animals when they when they're gone.
01:51:35.780
And one last point now, I'll shut up 15 years ago, I started applying manners to my driving habits and it has totally changed my attitude about driving.
01:51:47.880
I love sharing the please and thank you and the positive things with my fellow motorists.
01:51:56.940
I know I'm positively connecting, making great eye contact with other motorists.
01:52:02.880
And it's what it's doing is bringing people to a sense that, hey, this is important.
01:52:09.440
And we're paying a price for the digital market.
01:52:21.800
But if all of us start to do these things and stop walking around in our own bubble, that's the problem.
01:52:31.940
We have everything at our fingertips and we don't recognize that we're all in this together.
