The Glenn Beck Program - 12⧸4⧸17 - 'Meaningful Media' ( A.G. Riddle joins Glenn)

00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.

00:00:08.100 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:13.620 So, ABC, you and Brian Ross, I don't know exactly what you were thinking.

00:00:19.260 On Friday, Brian Ross, who has been an investigative correspondent for ABC for 20, almost 25 years,

00:00:26.260 reported that during the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump directed Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials before the election.

00:00:35.860 The statement was incorrect. You know, something you don't say unless you have a lot of evidence to back it up.

00:00:44.140 Yeah, that's one thing Ross was a little short of was evidence.

00:00:47.620 By Friday night, Ross was on ABC World News tonight reading a clarification.

00:00:53.980 This time, he said Trump didn't ask Flynn to contact Russia until after he had been elected president.

00:01:01.520 The problem with this is, is it affected the stock market on Friday because that was kind of a big deal.

00:01:08.560 And it wasn't really a clarification on World News tonight.

00:01:12.500 It was more of a let me clarify by completely changing the report.

00:01:18.240 On Saturday, ABC News apologized, saying they deeply regret the serious error and suspended Ross for four weeks without pay.

00:01:27.900 23-year-old veteran reporter.

00:01:30.400 He knows better than this, except he has a history of these kinds of errors.

00:01:37.840 Do you remember the movie theater shooting in 2012 in Aurora, Colorado?

00:01:41.780 Do you remember?

00:01:44.800 He's the guy who reported that the shooter, we think, was a Tea Party leader.

00:01:49.660 No, no, no, he wasn't.

00:01:53.100 Naturally, President Trump gloated on Twitter about Ross's suspension and the mainstream media can't stand President Trump.

00:02:01.320 Despite the fact the president is wrong, mainstream media is not all fake news.

00:02:07.720 But when will the media learn?

00:02:10.760 If you want the president to stop yapping about fake news and how the media is out to get him, then you should probably stop with the sloppy reporting.

00:02:21.880 This fake news feud between President Trump and the media.

00:02:28.020 Lasted all weekend and it's going to continue.

00:02:29.940 I mean, are you tired of it?

00:02:31.200 Because I'm really I'm sick of it.

00:02:33.160 Fake news is now a cliche.

00:02:34.880 It's a joke.

00:02:35.960 It's part of our cultural lexicon now.

00:02:39.820 In these insane times, when we're being flooded with media content, when it's difficult to know who and what to believe,

00:02:49.420 shouldn't we be doing everything in our power, especially if you're one of the nation's major media organizations,

00:02:55.320 to try to put aside politics for two minutes and refocus on integrity because character matters and the truth matters.

00:03:06.580 In fact, I'm going to go on a limb and say the truth and character matters more than politics.

00:03:12.520 Now, that's not going to get you a ratings point and it's not going to sell, you know, make America great again for Christmas cap.

00:03:21.480 But maybe we should all try to make character and truth our priority.

00:03:32.300 And then maybe we'll be able to make journalism trustworthy again.

00:03:36.560 It's Monday, December 4th.

00:03:56.100 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:04:01.420 Hello, Stu.

00:04:02.980 Mr. Beck, how are you?

00:04:04.020 I'm really good.

00:04:05.900 I'm really good.

00:04:06.440 A lot of things to talk about today.

00:04:07.740 But let's let's stick on the Donald Trump over the weekend.

00:04:12.300 And let's start with the the Ross story.

00:04:16.420 Yeah, that one's interesting in that because Ross has made some pretty big mistakes over the years, as you pointed out.

00:04:21.220 How is he still credible?

00:04:24.060 I mean, he's still their lead.

00:04:26.040 Yeah.

00:04:26.900 White House correspondent, right?

00:04:28.280 He's he's yeah, and he's an investigative reporter.

00:04:31.480 And I mean, you know, I don't understand, you know, what you have to do to be fired.

00:04:38.640 I mean, imagine Sean Hannity made a mistake like that.

00:04:41.840 You think?

00:04:43.020 And it affected the stock market.

00:04:45.100 Do you think people would be calling for his not not suspension, but firing?

00:04:51.320 Yeah, because the mistake in case you didn't know the exact mistake.

00:04:54.720 Basically, he said it was during the campaign, not the transition.

00:04:57.260 Right.

00:04:57.880 This this contact with Russia.

00:04:59.240 And I think everybody knows and it's why so far what has come out of the Mueller thing is generally speaking, underwhelming, no matter what side of this you're on, is that, you know, if he if if if Jared Kushner did direct the director of national intelligence to reach out to one of the main world players about a upcoming issue.

00:05:26.700 After Donald Trump was elected president and was just waiting to walk into the office, that is not a dramatic tale.

00:05:34.200 I mean, you know, there are questions about minor parts of it.

00:05:38.260 You know, you the old thing of you don't you can only have one president at a time.

00:05:42.260 So you don't necessarily want that to be encouraged constantly.

00:05:46.000 And I understand that.

00:05:47.600 And and people there is something to that at some level.

00:05:51.060 On the other side of it is that's not what this is about from a sexiness standpoint.

00:05:55.620 Right.

00:05:56.040 The only thing that's that's real is if it was Donald Trump trying to get help during the election from the Russians, which still to me seems like a long shot.

00:06:03.980 But that's a big that's kind of what been the big.

00:06:07.980 See, here's the problem.

00:06:09.300 We've never reached out to them.

00:06:11.520 You know, we never talked to the ambassador.

00:06:13.680 Oh, well, we shook hands.

00:06:14.940 Well, it was classified.

00:06:16.200 And now it's like, no, we just passed him in the hallway.

00:06:18.960 You know, all of the the lies upon the lies.

00:06:24.340 I mean, it's really if you look at this and if it was just this isolated thing, you'd be like, OK, well, I'm not I'm not sure if that's that big of a deal.

00:06:33.800 Right.

00:06:34.240 However, it's the lies on top of lies on top of lies on top of lies.

00:06:39.320 I mean, really, why would Flynn lie about this?

00:06:44.600 Right.

00:06:44.880 Because the the two things coming from the White House from the White House are, well, it wasn't a big deal.

00:06:50.400 There was no problem with it.

00:06:51.640 Then why?

00:06:52.060 Why is he lying about it?

00:06:53.660 And that's what this investigation is supposed to get done.

00:06:56.380 Right.

00:06:56.660 But it's a huge mistake on Brian Ross's part to essentially say this was happening during the campaign and not the transition.

00:07:03.800 The transition stuff might be an indication that leads to something else.

00:07:08.580 Right.

00:07:09.700 If it happened during the campaign, it would be a massive development.

00:07:12.320 And so he said that incorrectly.

00:07:14.680 There is an interesting point in that.

00:07:16.720 Hang on this second.

00:07:18.500 I'm not willing to go where you just went.

00:07:21.000 And I think I think we agree with each other.

00:07:23.180 But no, he didn't say that incorrectly.

00:07:27.620 He reported a falsehood.

00:07:30.680 Yes, because they we don't know for sure.

00:07:33.640 But they said essentially they initially said they were a clarification.

00:07:37.060 By the way, the entire gigantic story we broke is actually not that all that gigantic.

00:07:41.720 Just a quick clarification on these clarification.

00:07:44.060 Then they changed it to correction.

00:07:45.480 What we don't know at this time is did he get that information from a source?

00:07:51.920 Did the source tell him it was during the campaign and then they corrected it?

00:07:56.600 You'd think because the way they worded their one of their 19 statements about this was essentially it didn't go through the journalistic rigors that it should have.

00:08:07.320 Meaning to me, it wasn't that he said it wrong is that he just didn't check out the source enough to he didn't lock it down time frame wise with the source.

00:08:17.800 The source said he was a he was candidate because he wasn't president yet should have been president elect is the is the way they should have referred to that.

00:08:24.380 But in this case, it's a huge difference.

00:08:26.320 It's a massive difference.

00:08:27.720 As the stock market told us.

00:08:29.660 Yeah.

00:08:29.800 I mean, it went down a few hundred points.

00:08:31.300 It did bounce back mostly by the end of the day, but still, there was it shows you sold at the end of that 350 point drop.

00:08:37.100 You're not excited about that.

00:08:38.060 Yeah.

00:08:38.420 And you but but you also look at that and say, that's how big of a story this would have been.

00:08:45.180 Yeah.

00:08:45.480 If he was right.

00:08:46.580 Yes, it would have.

00:08:47.520 And, you know, once you saw that.

00:08:49.360 Oh, no, that wasn't happening.

00:08:50.820 Then you're like, oh, well, maybe he is going to be president.

00:08:53.980 Yeah.

00:08:54.200 However, I think have you heard the story?

00:08:57.320 Do you remember the the woman who came out and was talking to the press?

00:09:06.500 She was a huge supporter of Donald Trump for a long time.

00:09:10.560 Loved him, was on The Apprentice and really admired him and everything else.

00:09:16.360 And she came out after the Billy Bush thing.

00:09:20.040 Yeah.

00:09:20.240 Yeah.

00:09:21.000 And she said, I don't want to say these things, but I have to tell you the truth.

00:09:28.320 He brought me to the Beverly Hills Peninsula.

00:09:31.840 Yes.

00:09:32.420 I don't know.

00:09:32.760 This is one of the sexual assault accusations at the time.

00:09:35.600 Yeah.

00:09:35.860 I believed her.

00:09:37.080 I mean, I she seemed like she really, truly was a big Donald Trump fan for a long time.

00:09:44.280 And she's felt and she just seemed honest about being crushed by meeting one of her idols.

00:09:50.240 And so I believed her.

00:09:52.980 He came out and remember, she just kind of went away.

00:09:56.560 She wasn't a big deal.

00:09:57.740 She just wanted to say it.

00:09:58.800 And then she kind of went away.

00:09:59.720 And then Donald Trump came out and called her a liar.

00:10:03.500 Well, she sued. 0.91

00:10:05.560 Do you know that tomorrow they are deciding in court whether or not the president can be deposed?

00:10:12.480 Now, listen to this.

00:10:15.300 The White House is saying the president is too busy to be deposed on something like this and he will deal with it after his presidency.

00:10:27.640 So they're asking the court to put it off until he's out of the Oval Office.

00:10:34.620 Well, if you remember right, this sounds kind of familiar.

00:10:38.620 That's exactly what happened when he was being deposed about Monica Lewinsky with Clinton.

00:10:44.800 The White House said you can't depose the president.

00:10:48.100 He's too busy.

00:10:49.040 He'll deal with this after he leaves the office.

00:10:52.720 Well, the court had already ruled.

00:10:55.040 No, you can depose the president on something like this.

00:10:58.200 So if they rule tomorrow that the president does have to be deposed on this, this is going to open up a whole can of worms, because if he goes in and he tells the truth that, yes, I did do this.

00:11:15.940 What does that mean?

00:11:17.300 If he says no and there's evidence that exists that, yes, it did happen, then he's perjured himself and we're back with Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton again.

00:11:31.080 Yeah, but neither of those situations are going to happen, right?

00:11:33.860 I mean, he's absolutely not going to say he did anything.

00:11:37.780 I mean, he's never in his life.

00:11:39.980 He's saying his name, his voice isn't the voice on the Billy Bush tape.

00:11:44.120 I know.

00:11:44.580 Like, there's no way he's going to say he did something.

00:11:47.620 And the idea that there's going to be.

00:11:49.340 But there's going to be evidence.

00:11:50.500 Like, what evidence?

00:11:51.340 Other than statements.

00:11:52.540 And this is the world that we live in now.

00:11:56.020 None of these things.

00:11:56.780 Remember, this is the argument that we had under Bill Clinton.

00:12:00.480 He'll never admit that he did it.

00:12:02.760 And he didn't.

00:12:04.240 He perjured himself.

00:12:06.840 And when he perjured himself, they happen to have the blue dress.

00:12:10.400 Does she happen to have anything?

00:12:12.340 If she had that.

00:12:13.660 I don't know.

00:12:14.460 Maybe not.

00:12:14.940 You think that if she had something like that, we would have known about it a long time ago.

00:12:18.380 But you're right.

00:12:19.160 Maybe there's something there.

00:12:20.020 We'll see.

00:12:20.340 It's an interesting.

00:12:21.300 I don't think it.

00:12:21.980 I think it opens up not just for her, but for others.

00:12:25.120 I think this will become like there's eight women who accused.

00:12:28.640 And he called all of them liars.

00:12:31.700 And so this woman is leading it, saying, I want my reputation back. 0.97

00:12:34.900 Yeah.

00:12:35.080 I did not lie.

00:12:37.500 And she's had death threats and everything else.

00:12:39.920 And so there are these eight women. 1.00

00:12:41.780 If they open the door for her, it may open the door for all of them. 0.99

00:12:46.140 If anyone has any evidence, then you're getting your and you are.

00:12:52.220 I mean, Donald Trump said as soon as he leaves the Oval Office, he is suing them and he's

00:12:56.940 going to take them to court for defamation of his character.

00:13:00.660 It may a circus.

00:13:02.280 It's interesting, though, from the media perspective, there's two sides of this, and they're both

00:13:07.180 equally important.

00:13:08.620 One, the idea how excited the media was when all of this stuff came down with Russia and

00:13:15.880 Flynn and all of this.

00:13:17.560 I mean, it was insanity.

00:13:20.940 They're celebrating, throwing parties.

00:13:22.560 It's terrible for the country, right?

00:13:24.120 Like if the president did do these things and it gets caught, it's awful for the country.

00:13:28.360 And what was the media doing?

00:13:29.340 Celebrating.

00:13:29.720 And people are so exuberant that they get over the top with their excitement.

00:13:34.680 And I think that's why mistakes like the Brian Ross thing happen.

00:13:38.420 They're so sure they're so excited to get rid of this guy in any way possible that they

00:13:43.940 make sloppy mistakes or I think you could argue mistakes intentionally done to try to hurt

00:13:51.080 the president and Republicans in general.

00:13:53.120 But on the other side of that, and I think it's important to note.

00:13:55.800 Why, if this was just all fake news and these people were all the no-character disasters that

00:14:05.480 they're described as and is summarized by the president at times and Breitbart and all these

00:14:09.440 other places, why on earth would ABC correct this report?

00:14:13.760 It was an unnamed source.

00:14:15.600 No one in the world would ever know that they got that fact wrong.

00:14:19.700 If they were completely without character, they could easily say, well, no, it wasn't that

00:14:25.980 source.

00:14:26.600 The source that's coming out now publicly and telling you that I got it wrong.

00:14:29.540 No, that was a different source.

00:14:31.100 You didn't know about it.

00:14:32.020 They had a million ways out of that story because they gave you no information.

00:14:35.700 There was no reason for them to correct that report.

00:14:39.520 I want to be really careful on this.

00:14:40.900 I don't think that there is.

00:14:45.080 It's weird.

00:14:46.340 I think there's meaningful change in the media, but it's not lasting change.

00:14:51.860 And here's what I mean.

00:14:53.220 I think there is meaningful change where they know they're up against their greatest foe.

00:14:59.740 They also know they are being watched by the American public and the American public doesn't

00:15:07.120 doesn't trust them.

00:15:08.380 And so they are saying, OK, batten down the hatches, make sure it's right.

00:15:15.840 It's kind of a Watergate thing to where the Washington Post was looking at the, you know,

00:15:20.760 at Woodward and Bernstein and saying, no, get another source.

00:15:25.660 OK, they know they're up against a huge foe.

00:15:30.460 So get it right.

00:15:33.700 Because they have no credibility.

00:15:35.540 With that being said, the minute Donald Trump is out and their side is in, they will go

00:15:42.560 right back to ignoring all of this stuff.

00:15:45.580 So there's meaningful change, just not lasting change.

00:15:48.980 The new wave mattress from Casper breakthrough in sleep technology.

00:16:02.620 You're going to spend more time sleeping and less time tossing and turning.

00:16:07.760 Casper collected three years of data, feedback, foam research from sleep science.

00:16:13.480 Sleep science is is there's a lot going on right now.

00:16:18.380 They took the last three years of the the latest and greatest and said, how can we get people

00:16:25.480 who are in constant pain?

00:16:27.340 How can we get them to have a good night's sleep?

00:16:30.580 They've developed the patent pending support system that mirrors your body's natural curvature

00:16:35.400 for a deeper and more restorative sleep.

00:16:37.660 The new wave.

00:16:39.400 It has a top layer that's incredibly soft, doesn't get in the way of the support below.

00:16:43.960 It is also designed with a breathable foam, which is is their real hallmark, which lets you sleep

00:16:49.460 cool year round.

00:16:50.920 If you've ever had a foam mattress.

00:16:52.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:16:52.860 Those are it's like sleeping in hell.

00:16:55.200 Casper made that breakthrough to make sure that you're cool year round.

00:16:59.360 But now they also gave you the wave support system underneath all of that softness that

00:17:46.660 Glenn Beck.

00:17:54.180 Glenn Beck.

00:17:58.400 So Feinstein came out with a statement that is pretty, pretty, pretty bold that they're

00:18:04.960 building an impeachment case.

00:18:06.380 Now, listen to what she she said over the weekend.

00:18:09.740 The Judiciary Committee has an investigation going as well, and it involves obstruction of

00:18:17.420 justice.

00:18:17.960 I see it in the hyper phonetic attitude of the White House, the comments every day, the

00:18:24.160 continual tweets.

00:18:27.800 And I see it most importantly in what happened with the firing of Director Comey.

00:18:36.700 And it is my belief that that is directly because he did not agree to lift the cloud of the

00:18:44.320 Russia investigation.

00:18:45.380 And that's obstruction of justice.

00:18:48.700 Yeah.

00:18:49.220 So I don't know.

00:18:50.420 I mean, it's like it's hard to impeach someone off of Twitter for their tweets.

00:18:55.420 You're going to pitch him out of the White House for his tweets.

00:18:58.960 I mean, I don't I just think here's what's going to happen.

00:19:01.000 Depends on what happens tomorrow.

00:19:02.400 My theory is that this case with the the women is going to be Bill said this on Friday.

00:19:11.020 That's going to be their next the next approach.

00:19:14.100 And I think that's true because of this case.

00:19:17.000 If this case is allowed to go through tomorrow, I think it's going to change all of the dynamics.

00:19:23.980 And I think you're going to get to the next year or so where the president is just going

00:19:28.860 to say at the end of my term, I'm going to I'm not going to run again.

00:19:32.620 I think that's what's going to happen.

00:19:34.660 I don't know if he's going to be impeached.

00:19:36.440 If I mean, if they find more with with with this investigation, if you know, if it ends

00:19:42.780 today where we have it with Flynn, there's nothing's going to come of it.

00:19:46.440 If they have more and Flynn is leading them to something and has real evidence, then you're

00:19:52.060 going to have an issue on impeachment.

00:19:55.500 But I think this is just going to mount so much that I think he's just going to say, you

00:19:59.480 know what?

00:19:59.760 I'm going back to my life.

00:20:02.400 Let somebody else do it.

00:20:04.740 I think that's what's going to happen.

00:20:06.560 It's certainly possible, though.

00:20:08.180 The president cannot obstruct justice.

00:20:10.720 No, just so you know.

00:20:12.720 No, that's he really needs new lawyers.

00:20:15.180 He really does.

00:20:17.240 I don't know where he's getting these, you know, strip mall lawyers, but they're misinforming

00:20:22.240 him.

00:20:24.100 Glenn Beck.

00:20:30.740 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:20:33.280 Interesting weekend for Bitcoin.

00:20:36.780 It went from twelve thousand to a low of ten six.

00:20:41.140 Do you know why this is actually something you should watch?

00:20:44.020 Do you know why it had such a big blip?

00:20:46.460 It lost it lost a thousand a thousand bucks that fast.

00:20:52.660 You know why?

00:20:53.500 I don't know.

00:20:54.000 I know.

00:20:54.480 Telegraph reported right about the time of the big drop in the UK that they are now

00:21:01.320 the UK is going to launch a crackdown on the virtual currency Bitcoin amid growing concern.

00:21:07.540 It's being used to launder money and dodge tax.

00:21:12.360 So now you have England saying we're going to look into this.

00:21:17.820 We might start regulation.

00:21:19.080 So it went down.

00:21:22.200 Almost two thousand points.

00:21:23.420 And then by the end of the day, it had bounced back up.

00:21:27.000 What is it now?

00:21:28.500 Eleven thousand three hundred.

00:21:30.060 Eleven thousand three hundred.

00:21:31.140 That's OK.

00:21:31.720 All right.

00:21:32.160 What a disappointment now from 800 in January and a lot of people say that Bitcoin is in

00:21:39.760 a bubble and you could make the case and a pretty strong case that it's in a bubble.

00:21:44.340 One that I haven't been willing to really look at because, you know, this time it's different.

00:21:48.900 This time it's different.

00:21:49.700 It's never going to stop.

00:21:50.620 It's always going to be like this, right?

00:21:51.800 It's never different.

00:21:52.800 However, I think I have the evidence that makes me say we are definitely in a bubble.

00:22:00.480 Here it is.

00:22:02.400 Launched just a few days ago.

00:22:05.280 Crypto kitties.

00:22:08.600 Crypto kitties, essentially like a digital version of Pokemon cards, but based on the Ethereum

00:22:15.680 blockchain is becoming one of the biggest viral sensations to catch on in the tech world built

00:22:24.040 by a Vancouver and San Francisco based design studio, people are spending a crazy amount

00:22:30.320 of real money on the game.

00:22:32.260 So far, about one point three million dollars has been transacted with multiple kittens

00:22:39.800 selling for 50 ethereal coins and the genius kitten being sold for a record of two hundred

00:22:50.260 and forty six.

00:22:51.380 That's one hundred and thirteen thousand dollars.

00:22:54.060 So here's here's what it is.

00:22:58.860 I think I think there are only a certain number of virtual kitties that are born.

00:23:07.520 And you mean when you say kitty, like you mean cats, like little cats, digital cats, cat.

00:23:14.100 OK, just a digital cat.

00:23:17.140 And they're born through the block chain.

00:23:20.640 OK, so you buy a cat that is a digital block chain cat and then you can interact with the

00:23:32.020 digital cat.

00:23:33.400 Let's see if what it says that you do.

00:23:37.220 I know the idea is to trade.

00:23:39.600 It's like a beanie babies to trade and to buy, you know, a better cat that doesn't exist.

00:23:51.140 OK, so it's a bubble.

00:23:52.520 OK, we can now it's definitely a bubble.

00:23:55.020 What you do is you collect cats.

00:23:56.840 And here are the here are the cats right here.

00:23:59.600 How to play.

00:24:00.280 OK, they're the cats.

00:24:02.400 Yeah.

00:24:02.640 OK, so they all look pretty much the same.

00:24:05.280 Oh, no, they're very different.

00:24:07.840 They're very different.

00:24:08.640 They're very different.

00:24:09.520 Game was seeded with one hundred founder kitties.

00:24:13.520 This there's also a new Gen Zero cat released every 15 minutes, which are listed for the

00:24:21.460 average price of the last five sold plus 50 percent.

00:24:25.320 But the sale price declines over 24 hours until somebody actually buys the cat.

00:24:31.580 Anyone can sell their kittens via an auction where they pick a starting price and an ending

00:24:36.780 price.

00:24:37.260 And the price declines over time and sell someone who buys the cat.

00:24:40.080 So, for example, I could put a kitten up for sale for a one day auction at one ethereal.

00:24:46.160 Is it Ether or Ethereum?

00:24:48.240 Yeah, Ethereum coin starting at starting at one and a ending price of zero.

00:24:55.640 And if somebody buys it 12 hours after the auction starts, they pay me point five Ethereum,

00:25:02.120 which is like a couple hundred bucks.

00:25:03.380 You can also create new kittens by breeding them.

00:25:09.600 OK, so blockchain sex, basically, is what's happening.

00:25:13.820 No, blockchain cartoon kitty sex.

00:25:16.360 OK, OK.

00:25:17.220 So you are taking money that has no real value because it doesn't actually exist.

00:25:24.380 You're buying that bogus money and you're trading that bogus money for a bogus cat that doesn't

00:25:35.340 exist.

00:25:35.780 And your hope is that you're going to sell that fake cat or breed a better fake cat and

00:25:46.640 sell it for more of the fake coins than anybody else.

00:25:51.420 Obviously, did you feel the need to explain that to the audience?

00:25:53.760 No, I mean, I was just talking, you know, I was just talking down to a couple of the

00:25:58.120 slow people that don't really understand that.

00:26:01.880 Yes, indeed, perhaps this is a bubble.

00:26:16.960 It's funny, you brought up Beanie Babies, which people talk about in this bubble way.

00:26:21.880 That's such a fascinating story.

00:26:23.520 I did an interview with a guy who wrote a book about it.

00:26:26.000 I think it's called The Great Beanie Baby Bubble.

00:26:29.360 And you think, well, it's kind of a silly topic.

00:26:32.240 It's a fascinating story, though.

00:26:33.980 This guy had was going around trying.

00:26:36.040 He's a real big entrepreneur and decided to try to do this, create these little animals

00:26:44.260 that he would sell and make money off of.

00:26:47.120 And really, the reason why the Beanie Baby thing was so big for that time was that he

00:26:55.340 decided to call these things, instead of just discontinuing them, he started calling them

00:27:01.260 retired.

00:27:02.820 And when he started saying retired, as soon as he said, we're about to retire this stupid

00:27:09.840 Beanie Baby, people would rush to stores and bid the price super high.

00:27:14.360 And so the whole time, the entire process was people trying to figure out who would next

00:27:21.680 be retired.

00:27:22.380 Because as soon as they got retired, the price would go up.

00:27:24.740 And the people buying the new ones were based basically on the idea that eventually there

00:27:30.280 would be a retirement and they'd be able to cash in.

00:27:32.940 And the guy who wound up doing it was obsessed with these things, meticulous to the point

00:27:38.340 of he would spend hours looking over samples of the eyes.

00:27:42.280 And he took it super seriously and designed every one of these things.

00:27:47.540 And he wound up making like $2 billion off of this.

00:27:52.140 And it kind of came and went.

00:27:55.060 So how many people have parents who collected the Beanie Babies and they have a closet full

00:28:03.200 of the Beanie Babies and you knew at the time, Beanie Babies aren't going to, it's not going

00:28:07.600 to work.

00:28:08.740 You're not going to get, you're not going to retire on the Beanie Baby money.

00:28:12.080 And they saved them and they have them.

00:28:15.060 Now is the time where you, where you, where the, where boys are boys and men arrive.

00:28:23.360 The men say the hell, my Beanie Baby collection isn't going to be worth something.

00:28:29.200 I'm keeping it because everybody's looking at their Beanie Baby collection now going, this

00:28:34.640 is so stupid.

00:28:36.120 Get rid of it.

00:28:37.280 Once everybody gets rid of it, those who saved those Beanie Babies.

00:28:42.420 And you carry that dream to your grave, don't you?

00:28:46.760 Yeah, I'm going to lock them all in my coffin with me.

00:28:49.980 It's funny.

00:28:50.600 Who knows what happens with this?

00:28:51.680 I mean, it could, cryptocurrency could have parts of that.

00:28:54.840 There is more technology involved in it than Beanie Babies.

00:28:57.660 So you think it might have a little bit more.

00:29:00.340 The kitties?

00:29:01.060 Yeah, well.

00:29:01.880 No, the kitties.

00:29:03.580 Dear God, don't try to, Stu, don't try to talk yourself into the kitties at value.

00:29:08.320 No, I'm not talking about, I'm talking about, I'm talking about this technology.

00:29:12.100 Oh, the blockchain has, blockchain has, yeah, the blockchain kitties don't have any value.

00:29:19.660 But, well, I mean, everything has the value the market assigns to, right?

00:29:24.560 So, I mean.

00:29:26.200 That is crazy.

00:29:27.340 You just gotta, you just gotta wait for the right buyer.

00:29:29.820 And usually it's a moron.

00:29:31.060 So, I actually started reading a book about the tulip thing.

00:29:36.140 Yeah.

00:29:36.380 And it actually makes more sense, you know, because you think, for instance, tell me this

00:29:41.860 tulip story that you know.

00:29:43.620 The tulip story is, there became this sort of irrational exuberance, is the phrase they

00:29:50.300 often use in these terms, where they, people believed that they were going to be, they

00:29:53.820 were super valuable, and they started trading them as currency.

00:29:57.380 So, why did it, why, what was the spark for it?

00:30:00.500 Why did it, what happened?

00:30:02.360 How is it possible?

00:30:06.400 It's been a while, I don't remember.

00:30:08.380 Okay, so I never heard it, and I, okay, so here's the thing.

00:30:12.020 This was at the time when people were just starting to keep gardens and starting to have

00:30:17.520 lawns and everything else, and the really, really rich people were starting to do that.

00:30:23.520 The bulb, I don't know where the tulip bulb came from.

00:30:26.420 I'm like, I'm not deep in the book.

00:30:28.640 I'm kind of scanning it.

00:30:29.780 But the idea that all of a sudden, a thing of beauty, it's looked at as art.

00:30:41.020 This one bulb is art, okay?

00:30:45.160 So, you could put this in your house, or you could put this in front of your house, or

00:30:49.000 whatever, and it's a thing of beauty and a thing of art.

00:30:51.840 So, it's like the art craze to where a painting that you're like, okay, that doesn't even

00:30:56.440 look like anything.

00:30:57.400 That's just a blue canvas.

00:30:59.780 No, it's worth $121 million.

00:31:02.860 Okay, well, good for you.

00:31:04.680 Okay, same thing.

00:31:05.880 They thought this is a thing of beauty and a thing of art, and there's only one of them.

00:31:09.800 And so, they thought, this is going to catch on because all of the rich people are going

00:31:15.800 to want these all in their gardens all over the world, which they did.

00:31:21.620 It just didn't work out as well as they thought because you can make more of them.

00:31:28.700 You can make more tulips?

00:31:30.100 Yes, you can.

00:31:30.700 Oh my gosh, there's inflation in the tulip market?

00:31:32.780 Yeah.

00:31:32.980 Yeah, it does seem that way.

00:31:34.720 Right.

00:31:35.020 But you can see, you could see how people, like Bitcoin, you could see how people could

00:31:40.100 go, well, now, wait a minute.

00:31:42.160 Hang on.

00:31:43.380 You know, there weren't a lot of tulips.

00:31:44.880 We think now, tulips, I mean, they're everywhere.

00:31:47.120 Not a lot of tulips.

00:31:48.060 And they're making new tulips, and they're kind of, I don't know how you breed tulips,

00:31:52.120 but they're making new ones.

00:31:53.660 And they're like, oh, you know what?

00:31:55.160 People are starting, you know, people are going to have these things called lawns, and

00:31:59.140 they're going to want a flower box. 0.99

00:32:01.400 It was at the beginning of flower boxes and bringing flowers in.

00:32:06.400 I mean, you don't really even think of it like that, you know?

00:32:09.580 Yeah.

00:32:10.480 It's a bit of a stretch.

00:32:12.040 No.

00:32:13.040 That's why it was a bubble and a disaster.

00:32:15.460 But again, you could kind of, like, I can't make a case for the kitty cats.

00:32:21.460 Can't.

00:32:22.440 Well, I mean, no.

00:32:23.680 We've had many.

00:32:24.500 Can't.

00:32:24.540 This is the pet rock, right?

00:32:26.000 Who spent, no.

00:32:27.420 No, the pet rock costs what?

00:32:29.740 $2?

00:32:31.140 People are spending $150,000 on a kitty.

00:32:35.820 But the same thing with Beanie Babies, and the same thing with every one of these trends,

00:32:40.160 you can always say, a Cabbage Patch doll, that's just a doll.

00:32:43.440 I mean, you can always say that, right?

00:32:45.460 It's about what level of entertainment and enjoyment it gives the individual.

00:32:49.340 That's why things happen on a market.

00:32:51.080 There's a lot of stuff that's worth, I mean, I see, you know, purses that my wife buys,

00:32:56.260 and I think, that looks like it's worth $12, and it's not.

00:33:00.860 Again, not at all.

00:33:02.040 No.

00:33:02.300 Again, that is a thing that is tangible.

00:33:06.180 Yeah, but tangible is a thing that goes with style.

00:33:08.660 But that is something, that's a weird, that's an old-timey observation, right?

00:33:13.260 Like, we used to say the same thing, like, that company, they don't even produce anything.

00:33:16.880 That's what we used to say when the quote-unquote internet bubble happened,

00:33:20.920 and now I'm pretty sure that one wound up being kind of big, that internet thing.

00:33:25.620 All right, all right.

00:33:26.460 I'm ready to buy an Ethereum cat.

00:33:29.240 I already have 12.

00:33:30.220 They're for sale right now on auction.

00:33:32.280 Yes, but I have the genius kitty.

00:33:33.940 Your mortgage rate depends on many factors, the economy, the loan that you choose,

00:33:41.020 how many points you pay, other variables that can add costs, the property type,

00:33:44.940 whether it's your primary property.

00:33:47.120 This is the reason why it's in your best interest as a homebuyer to seek

00:33:51.000 a mortgage pre-approval and guidance before making an offer on a home.

00:33:55.140 Plus, if you're a veteran and you haven't used your VA benefits with interest rates this low,

00:34:00.920 now is the time to get into a new home or to refinance.

00:34:38.320 Glenn Beck.

00:34:46.440 Glenn Beck.

00:34:48.260 I mean, you know, I don't want to gang up on Detroit, but man, what a depressing thing.

00:34:54.360 You know, to try to bring the Silverdome down, everything is crumbling.

00:34:59.860 Nothing is working right.

00:35:02.060 And you're like, okay, let's get rid of this eyesore.

00:35:04.320 Let's bring this thing down. 0.80

00:35:05.600 You try to blow it up, and it won't come down.

00:35:08.760 That's, I mean, I feel bad for Detroit.

00:35:10.840 It's like, come on, man.

00:35:12.560 We're the Charlie Brown of cities.

00:35:14.240 Many Lions fans were pointing out that the Silverdome has survived many previous implosions

00:35:20.740 as well, and you can't just bring it down with one of those.

00:35:25.320 It is kind of a depressing thing, though.

00:35:27.680 Basically, every building in the city is crumbling to the ground, and this one, they actually want

00:35:33.200 to crumble to the ground.

00:35:33.460 They say that Detroit is actually becoming one of the more dynamic cities in the country.

00:35:38.540 I think it may have a renaissance.

00:35:41.560 It may have a renaissance.

00:35:43.320 It may.

00:35:44.240 I mean, there's certain, you know, you have those, there's certain really wealthy benefactors

00:35:48.380 who have decided, like, I love this city, and I'm staying here.

00:35:52.200 Like, I love Shinola, what Shinola is doing.

00:35:55.260 You know, are you familiar with Shinola?

00:35:56.840 Oh, my, of course.

00:35:58.160 No, you're not?

00:35:58.500 Obviously.

00:35:58.660 No, I'm not.

00:35:59.160 Oh, look up Shinola.

00:36:00.300 They're fantastic.

00:36:02.020 They make these incredible bikes.

00:36:04.400 They make incredible watches, and they started and said, we're going to build a great company

00:36:12.540 that builds really great items, and we're going to build them in Detroit, and so they

00:36:18.940 did, and they've taken off, and I mean, really high-quality stuff, really good stuff.

00:36:24.880 Never heard of Shinola, really?

00:36:26.500 Yeah, no.

00:36:27.300 Yeah, they're one of the first companies to go into Detroit, and they kind of kicked off

00:36:32.700 a renaissance in Detroit.

00:36:34.080 There's another, I can't remember which guy he was, a billionaire from some line of

00:36:38.380 business, and decided, you know what, I'm just going to go back, and I'm going to start

00:36:40.520 building these amazing developments, and I just love the city, and I want to keep doing

00:36:44.180 it, and he's just being vilified in the community, because he's tearing down what Detroit has

00:36:49.540 always been, and he's trying.

00:36:52.220 A crapeat?

00:36:52.940 Yeah, apparently, people are like, there's some people, this is what happens every time.

00:36:57.100 They're tearing down all the crape houses.

00:36:58.760 Like, that's what they do, and they say this in New York all the time.

00:37:00.880 Someone will build a really nice apartment complex in a downtrodden community, and they'll

00:37:06.640 say, well, now you're pricing out all the residents.

00:37:09.940 And it's like, well, first of all, it's not their responsibility to set price for the entire

00:37:16.900 community.

00:37:17.260 They're doing something that's improving the community, right?

00:37:20.080 And then they get beaten up for it.

00:37:22.240 It's just a no-win situation.

00:37:23.860 It's just why you just stay home and play video games.

00:37:25.780 Wait, hold it.

00:37:27.120 That went south fast.

00:37:30.180 Glenn Beck.

00:37:36.440 Love.

00:37:38.020 Courage.

00:37:39.600 Truth.

00:37:40.780 Glenn Beck.

00:37:41.640 While you were sleeping in the early morning hours of Saturday, the Senate passed the final

00:37:46.880 version of its tax bill.

00:37:48.240 Senate voted 51 to 49, with Senator Bob Corker as the lone Republican voting against it.

00:37:54.460 The big takeaway from the bill is the plan will reduce the corporate tax rate from 35%

00:37:59.920 to 20%.

00:38:01.080 That is huge.

00:38:04.460 That is, if that actually goes through and happens, if Trump signs this into law, you're

00:38:10.720 going to see, you'll see a boom to the economy.

00:38:14.100 Now, Trump apparently is already walking away from the 20% after the bill passed.

00:38:20.440 He told reporters, you know, it could be 22 when it all comes out, but it could also

00:38:24.180 be 20.

00:38:25.020 We'll see.

00:38:26.320 The difference between the two percentage points?

00:38:29.340 $200 billion.

00:38:30.080 The passage of the Senate tax bill is a step in the right direction for the most part,

00:38:35.880 but the House and the Senate still have to hash out the differences in their plans, and

00:38:39.200 we have no idea what the final version is going to be right now.

00:38:42.600 But cutting the corporate tax rate is good.

00:38:45.560 I wish he was giving money to, you know, everyday people as well.

00:38:49.940 It's the hasty way Congress is dealing with bills now.

00:38:54.400 It kind of stinks of the Obama-era politics, passing bills in the cover of darkness at 2

00:39:01.220 a.m. on a Saturday, and only after the details of the plan are kind of released in a shady

00:39:08.840 sort of way, you're kind of like, I don't even know what they're voting on.

00:39:12.740 The Republicans are desperately trying to comply with Trump's demand to sign anything of substance

00:39:17.980 by the end of the year. Not a good reason to pass a bill, but I'm hoping the bill will be good for

00:39:23.580 the country. But one thing is for sure, unless we do something about it, Congress will continue

00:39:30.240 to act as if we're all asleep.

00:39:40.540 It's Monday, December 4th. This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:44.360 So, I read a story in The Guardian. Do you trust The Guardian? Do you think The Guardian

00:39:50.280 is any good?

00:39:51.680 Eh, no, you know. I don't trust anybody.

00:39:57.720 Do you trust anybody?

00:40:00.300 Not really. Very few people. No. I mean, it's... Look, I mean, you have a board behind you.

00:40:07.080 As I sit here in the studio, I look behind you to a giant chalkboard.

00:40:10.920 Yeah. And on that chalkboard is a giant timeline of the past two months.

00:40:15.280 Continue... Just two months.

00:40:17.040 Two months, which contains approximately

00:40:18.740 40, 45 people

00:40:21.140 who have been accused of sexual

00:40:22.700 harassment, assault, rape,

00:40:25.180 you know, name the sexual crime.

00:40:28.000 And some of them

00:40:29.100 on there, I really, you wouldn't...

00:40:31.220 I don't know. Some of them you'd predict, right?

00:40:33.040 Harvey Weinstein, you kind of...

00:40:34.620 Eh. Kind of the guy who started this all off this one.

00:40:37.600 George H.W. Bush

00:40:39.000 never would have seen that coming. I would have put him in the safe category.

00:40:42.540 Absolutely.

00:40:42.780 My dying breath, I would have...

00:40:44.480 Yeah. George H.W. Bush, I mean, I would not have seen that coming.

00:40:47.320 No, I would not have seen that one coming.

00:40:48.560 You've got NPR hosts, politicians,

00:40:52.000 you've got, I mean...

00:40:54.840 Everybody.

00:40:55.180 Star Trek actors and, you know...

00:40:58.240 Charlie Rose.

00:40:59.700 Yeah.

00:41:00.060 Charlie Rose and Garrison Keillor

00:41:02.180 would have put them in the safe category.

00:41:04.780 Keillor's so weird looking, though.

00:41:06.340 I feel like there's something...

00:41:07.640 You're saying that there's only way...

00:41:08.740 I think there is.

00:41:09.240 The only way he can...

00:41:11.020 No, it's not even that.

00:41:12.280 It's just...

00:41:12.780 There's some...

00:41:13.460 There's a look, right?

00:41:15.060 There is a look.

00:41:16.040 No, there's a look of the guy...

00:41:17.620 Who is the photograph...

00:41:18.760 The photographer?

00:41:19.860 It's under October 23rd.

00:41:22.240 The photographer,

00:41:23.780 released on the same day that George Bush's,

00:41:26.480 you know,

00:41:27.380 harassment comes out.

00:41:30.340 This is a photographer

00:41:31.260 who is taking pictures of models.

00:41:33.760 You look at him and you're like,

00:41:35.540 okay, yeah.

00:41:37.240 Right, right, right.

00:41:38.880 I mean, grab the kids and start running, okay?

00:41:41.460 I mean, he just looks like...

00:41:43.480 If he moves in next door,

00:41:44.900 you are having a conversation with your kids.

00:41:47.860 Don't go to the child molester's house.

00:41:50.360 He's got that look.

00:41:51.900 Well, it's...

00:41:52.520 And there's these industries,

00:41:53.900 these sort of side industries

00:41:55.560 to the, like, mainstream entertainment

00:41:57.840 that are now all getting hit with this.

00:42:00.080 I mean, the photographer thing has got...

00:42:02.720 There's going to be a huge reckoning there, right?

00:42:04.760 Because, I mean,

00:42:05.440 it's a bunch of guys taking pictures

00:42:07.760 of, like, 19-year-olds

00:42:09.880 who are half-naked or all-naked.

00:42:12.960 Like, that business,

00:42:13.800 there's got to be all sorts of shows

00:42:15.460 turned over there.

00:42:16.140 I mean, what's happening...

00:42:17.380 The real goal mine here, I think,

00:42:19.840 is Congress.

00:42:20.940 I think we should have a trading floor.

00:42:23.380 I think we should have a futures.

00:42:26.340 Who do you think is next?

00:42:28.820 When are they going to get it?

00:42:30.240 Because, especially in Washington...

00:42:32.680 I like this.

00:42:33.520 Because the guilt by accusation

00:42:37.040 hasn't gone far enough,

00:42:38.120 we're just going to start putting people

00:42:39.480 who haven't even been accused on the board...

00:42:41.320 Yeah, we're just going to start trading.

00:42:43.120 Yeah, they've got something to hide.

00:42:45.520 That's good.

00:42:46.340 That's helpful to the nation, I think.

00:42:47.820 I think that's a good idea.

00:42:48.720 Well, I mean, if we're wrong,

00:42:49.780 then we lose

00:42:50.420 because we would put our money behind.

00:42:52.700 You know, to get on the trading floor,

00:42:54.280 you have to buy in.

00:42:55.980 So you're like,

00:42:56.480 you know, I'm going to put my $10 on this guy.

00:42:58.780 Well, it was interesting

00:42:59.420 because it was a DARPA

00:43:00.340 that did something a long time ago.

00:43:02.320 They tried to come up with a market

00:43:03.900 that would basically predict terrible events, right?

00:43:06.880 Like terrorist attacks.

00:43:08.000 Yeah.

00:43:08.460 The thought was

00:43:09.260 people would get involved in this

00:43:10.720 and people who knew

00:43:12.980 that a terrorist attack was coming

00:43:14.300 would start to bid up certain prices

00:43:17.300 to make money off of it.

00:43:19.300 Yeah, it wasn't...

00:43:20.040 Wait, wait, wait.

00:43:20.540 It wasn't that they knew

00:43:22.340 a terrorist attack was coming.

00:43:23.360 It was made for the investigative bodies

00:43:27.080 and the think tanks around the world

00:43:29.640 that were trying to figure out terrorism.

00:43:32.960 And so like the CIA and MI6,

00:43:35.320 they could all be a part of this trading floor.

00:43:39.660 And they would say,

00:43:41.060 you know what?

00:43:41.520 We want to put so much points.

00:43:43.080 There was no money exchange.

00:43:44.140 We want to put so many points

00:43:45.160 on an airplane, Middle East, these guys.

00:43:48.720 and the theory was

00:43:51.620 as you would see

00:43:53.080 the other agencies around the world,

00:43:55.420 they would start to have,

00:43:57.540 you know,

00:43:57.740 oh, I got a bid and peace.

00:43:58.880 That kind of makes sense with that one.

00:44:01.240 So I'm going to say yes to that one

00:44:04.780 and it would shake out

00:44:06.420 and it would be a pool of collective knowledge

00:44:09.720 without actually sharing

00:44:11.240 any of the collective knowledge.

00:44:12.960 It would just be,

00:44:13.920 we're watching something over here

00:44:15.960 that kind of goes with that.

00:44:18.000 I think,

00:44:18.760 I mean,

00:44:19.060 DARPA was right.

00:44:20.040 And they were hit by the,

00:44:20.900 how dare you?

00:44:21.820 You're betting on terrorism.

00:44:23.460 This is a terrible,

00:44:24.560 it was a great idea.

00:44:26.200 It's something certainly worth exploring

00:44:27.380 because markets are efficient

00:44:28.720 and they usually can help solve problems.

00:44:30.420 And that's why I think

00:44:31.420 we need to start our trading floor

00:44:32.980 for sexual harassers.

00:44:35.760 Because then if you,

00:44:36.860 let's say you had an accusation,

00:44:38.260 you knew it was coming out,

00:44:39.840 right?

00:44:40.060 Like you could just,

00:44:40.940 you could,

00:44:41.200 or if everybody knew,

00:44:42.380 okay,

00:44:42.620 this guy in Congress,

00:44:43.860 I mean,

00:44:44.540 imagine you go to the people in Congress

00:44:47.060 and say,

00:44:47.600 hey,

00:44:47.860 you can make some money here.

00:44:50.600 You just have to bet on

00:44:52.140 which one of your colleagues is next.

00:44:56.200 These weasels would be,

00:44:57.640 they'd be like,

00:44:58.280 oh my gosh,

00:44:59.020 this guy's so dirty. 0.90

00:45:00.380 Especially like the actors

00:45:01.500 who haven't had a hit show in a while.

00:45:03.880 Like I got nothing going on,

00:45:05.260 but I do know that that guy,

00:45:06.740 I know Kevin Spacey's been doing

00:45:08.160 all sorts of shady stuff.

00:45:09.240 I'm going to put some money on him.

00:45:10.740 Yeah.

00:45:10.900 I think we could predict this pretty well.

00:45:12.120 So I don't think that we actually

00:45:13.100 go to the people who know.

00:45:14.100 I just think we do it ourselves,

00:45:16.160 ourselves,

00:45:16.700 just by the way they look.

00:45:19.420 I mean,

00:45:19.940 let's make this a little more creepy.

00:45:24.080 Creepy.

00:45:24.540 Okay.

00:45:24.780 Yeah.

00:45:25.600 Let's make this a little more,

00:45:27.300 a little more like a witch hunt.

00:45:29.260 Okay.

00:45:30.160 You know,

00:45:30.700 it's not bad enough

00:45:31.780 that you don't have to have any evidence.

00:45:33.580 You just have to say it,

00:45:34.720 but we're going to base it

00:45:36.300 just on what we think

00:45:37.940 by the way you look.

00:45:40.180 That's efficient.

00:45:41.460 I like that.

00:45:42.540 Right.

00:45:42.740 Yeah.

00:45:43.400 Cause I mean,

00:45:43.860 but I can't think of anybody

00:45:45.100 that I would put in the no way category.

00:45:48.840 Who would you put in the no way category?

00:45:50.920 After George H.W. Bush,

00:45:52.860 who would you put in the no way category?

00:45:55.640 Mike Lee.

00:45:56.200 I would put Mike Lee

00:45:57.160 in the no way category.

00:45:59.060 I'd be,

00:45:59.300 yes,

00:45:59.480 I'd be comfortable with that.

00:46:01.560 Beyond him.

00:46:03.780 It's very few.

00:46:04.880 I mean,

00:46:05.480 we know the Cruz family

00:46:08.000 with his multiple affairs

00:46:09.540 and assassination of JFK.

00:46:12.000 Just the assassination

00:46:13.100 runs deep in that family.

00:46:15.020 Who knows what's going on there?

00:46:16.260 Yeah.

00:46:16.420 Right.

00:46:16.680 Yeah.

00:46:17.260 There's really,

00:46:17.800 you're right.

00:46:18.300 I don't think you could,

00:46:19.800 at this point,

00:46:21.940 you just,

00:46:23.260 nobody.

00:46:23.700 Yeah.

00:46:23.920 And especially because we don't even know

00:46:24.940 if these people did this,

00:46:26.620 right?

00:46:26.820 There's 40 some odd names behind you

00:46:29.220 on the chalkboard.

00:46:30.760 But in reality,

00:46:31.840 we,

00:46:32.060 there's very few of them we know

00:46:33.720 actually did the thing

00:46:34.880 they were accused of.

00:46:35.800 There's a few of them

00:46:36.580 that have kind of admitted it

00:46:37.680 or,

00:46:38.180 you know,

00:46:39.300 talked about it publicly.

00:46:40.560 And some crimes are worse

00:46:42.200 than others on that board.

00:46:43.480 But still,

00:46:44.380 like,

00:46:44.600 but if you look,

00:46:46.200 those 40 names came out

00:46:47.980 over the last two months.

00:46:50.420 It's like every two or three days.

00:46:52.240 Oh,

00:46:52.460 and over the weekend,

00:46:53.660 like,

00:46:53.800 this is what I was kind of getting to before.

00:46:55.200 There was,

00:46:55.380 I think there was a,

00:46:57.680 like a music conductor,

00:46:59.400 like a play,

00:47:00.720 a playwright,

00:47:02.480 a playwright or something like that.

00:47:03.480 Like,

00:47:03.600 it's all these,

00:47:04.160 like,

00:47:04.280 now sort of side industries

00:47:05.580 that people,

00:47:06.040 now it's like,

00:47:06.840 ah,

00:47:07.880 like I was a music conductor.

00:47:09.180 I was paying attention.

00:47:10.800 What kind of power does he have?

00:47:12.460 I was at the South Bend Arby's

00:47:14.020 and I was working as a fry cook

00:47:15.480 and I was like,

00:47:16.660 now we're getting to that point.

00:47:17.720 But still,

00:47:18.560 and you know,

00:47:19.120 it's,

00:47:19.600 it,

00:47:19.840 it does seem like this is a never ending thing.

00:47:23.320 And I think it's a,

00:47:25.380 probably the correct observation

00:47:27.720 that this is what they're going to go after Trump on

00:47:29.880 once this settles down a little bit.

00:47:32.140 They're going to look,

00:47:32.780 they're going to try to bring back those accusations.

00:47:34.700 They're going to try to.

00:47:36.300 Absolutely.

00:47:36.880 It's going to start tomorrow.

00:47:38.240 I think the higher the stakes,

00:47:39.620 the less it feels real.

00:47:42.880 Like,

00:47:43.140 I think a lot of people,

00:47:44.980 even if like the more thing was,

00:47:47.260 was not higher.

00:47:48.280 The stakes,

00:47:48.860 the more political,

00:47:51.200 it feels less real.

00:47:52.100 Like with Donald Trump,

00:47:53.140 like I,

00:47:53.620 there's a lot of things I'm critical about Trump on,

00:47:55.360 but like you look at the,

00:47:56.560 the accusations of the harassment.

00:47:58.940 There is a part of me that saw that.

00:48:01.240 I'm just like,

00:48:01.600 he's running for president of the United States.

00:48:03.020 Of course,

00:48:03.380 he's being accused of a million different things.

00:48:05.200 It's hard to,

00:48:05.900 it's hard.

00:48:06.320 Once you get to that point,

00:48:07.520 it's,

00:48:07.760 you,

00:48:07.960 you get some level of immunity almost,

00:48:10.040 I think from people who just say,

00:48:11.780 there's so much at stake here.

00:48:13.800 There's so much to motivate someone to say something like this.

00:48:17.400 That you kind of say,

00:48:19.520 well,

00:48:19.740 I don't know.

00:48:20.160 I can't judge their,

00:48:21.200 I can't judge their heart.

00:48:22.380 I can't judge this unless I have actual evidence.

00:48:25.040 Now,

00:48:25.320 of course,

00:48:25.560 that's how you're supposed to judge all of these.

00:48:27.320 I know.

00:48:27.820 I thought it might be pointing,

00:48:28.980 I'm putting time to point that out.

00:48:30.340 You're supposed to have evidence on all of them.

00:48:31.920 So I don't know if you saw this from the guardian.

00:48:34.120 It's why I started with,

00:48:35.340 who do you trust?

00:48:36.160 The guardian says,

00:48:37.700 why did Roy Moore escape to Australia?

00:48:40.920 Clues remain in the Outback wilderness.

00:48:44.440 He escaped to the Outback wilderness.

00:48:46.680 Yes.

00:48:46.960 Yes.

00:48:47.600 Okay.

00:48:48.020 So I don't know this story.

00:48:50.260 Right.

00:48:50.880 Roy Moore,

00:48:51.400 the Senate candidate from Alabama escaped to the Australian wilderness.

00:48:55.020 Yes.

00:48:55.960 So in 1984,

00:48:58.180 Mark Moore spent the better part of a year in Queensland Outback,

00:49:01.980 where he lived and worked with the Rolf family,

00:49:05.460 the hardworking,

00:49:06.320 deeply religious former owners of Telemann.

00:49:09.640 But how he ended up there and what drove him,

00:49:12.740 an ambitious 37-year-old assistant district attorney to this remote outpost has mostly remained a mystery.

00:49:19.240 The guardian spent a week in central Queensland seeking out those who knew more to find out what was he doing there so far from home.

00:49:26.020 What emerged was a portrait of a man overcoming his own personal demons,

00:49:30.200 but one who never left the impression on those he met as anything but a gentleman.

00:49:35.140 So it goes into all this mystery.

00:49:37.760 What was he doing there?

00:49:39.000 And then you start to they start interviewing people.

00:49:44.080 I don't know.

00:49:45.640 It was pretty normal for us.

00:49:48.080 Yeah,

00:49:48.560 but he's doing it in Australia.

00:49:50.540 Huh?

00:49:51.340 Yeah.

00:49:52.100 I don't think he'd ever done any sort of manual labor in his life,

00:49:55.560 but he took to the hard labor like a duck to water.

00:49:59.000 He was a hardworking man.

00:50:00.780 One woman who is 16 years old when Moore lived with the Rolfs came close contact with him,

00:50:06.560 said,

00:50:06.900 I never felt uncomfortable around him.

00:50:09.740 Maybe he was trying to get away from something.

00:50:11.900 There was nothing of that kind on my part.

00:50:14.860 I didn't feel uneasy with him at all.

00:50:17.420 There was never anything even remotely like that.

00:50:20.300 And I was in my teenage years.

00:50:22.160 That would have been prime time if he was going to do something.

00:50:25.820 Usually you'll have your antenna out for something like that.

00:50:28.880 But I remember him being gregarious, bubbly, loud, you know, a typical American.

00:50:34.680 I do remember that he sucked at tennis.

00:50:38.340 Another said,

00:50:39.460 I never thought of him anything other than a good bloke.

00:50:43.680 Another woman said, 0.91

00:50:44.780 certainly there weren't any alarm bells or anything.

00:50:47.220 He just seemed like a very pleasant man.

00:50:49.260 That's all I can recall.

00:50:52.500 Another one said,

00:50:53.820 wow.

00:50:54.740 Another one said,

00:50:56.000 he was a man.

00:50:58.720 I remember him as a man with deep religious belief and a gentle man with a beautiful singing voice.

00:51:09.020 It's interesting.

00:51:09.980 Roy is a person who's a little bit set in his beliefs and he doesn't like change.

00:51:14.840 So when he has an idea about something,

00:51:16.800 it's black and white.

00:51:17.660 He doesn't see it in gray.

00:51:18.920 I couldn't say whether the allegations may be correct or not,

00:51:21.780 but I find him very surprising because of his treatment of us and the family and all the women who are with us.

00:51:27.640 He was very morally correct.

00:51:29.740 I mean,

00:51:30.060 it's possible.

00:51:30.940 People have a second side outside of moral company,

00:51:34.540 but we never saw it.

00:51:36.640 So basically the Guardian went to Australia to find dirt.

00:51:41.100 And what they found is a bunch of people who said,

00:51:43.160 actually,

00:51:43.420 he was very nice,

00:51:44.180 but he was not good at tennis.

00:51:45.840 Right.

00:51:46.300 Right.

00:51:46.600 So what was he doing?

00:51:47.820 Why was he so afraid of tennis?

00:51:57.520 I did find it interesting that the Guardian actually published it though.

00:52:01.300 Instead of saying,

00:52:01.920 there's not a story there,

00:52:03.140 they just wrote a fancy headline to get you to think that there was something there.

00:52:07.560 And then when you read it,

00:52:08.600 I mean,

00:52:09.100 from the beginning,

00:52:09.980 it's like there was nothing.

00:52:11.580 You read quotes from like paragraph eight.

00:52:13.940 There's been four people in the history of the internet that have made it to paragraph eight.

00:52:18.440 Yes.

00:52:19.660 All you did is the headline.

00:52:21.160 But it wasn't on page 16.

00:52:23.740 It was also on page 16 and page one.

00:52:28.300 No matter who you're shopping for this holiday season,

00:52:30.940 Sherry's berries has the perfect gift for everybody on your list.

00:52:34.260 I got a note.

00:52:35.160 Berries are in Glenn's freezer.

00:52:37.320 I didn't even know I had a freezer,

00:52:38.980 but where the hell is my freezer?

00:52:41.540 Where is the freezer?

00:52:42.780 I want the Sherry's berries before they're gone.

00:52:46.300 This holiday,

00:52:47.280 you can get fresh,

00:52:49.060 delicious Sherry's berries.

00:52:51.140 They are so good.

00:52:52.760 They start at $19.99 plus shipping and handling.

00:52:55.580 I don't know if you've ever had,

00:52:56.540 have you ever had the basket of fruit flower things?

00:52:58.720 Yeah.

00:52:59.060 Yeah.

00:52:59.680 Those suck. 1.00

00:53:00.660 Do you think so?

00:53:01.560 Yeah.

00:53:01.920 Yeah.

00:53:02.200 I mean,

00:53:02.380 they're not,

00:53:02.780 they suck. 0.95

00:53:03.280 I know what you mean.

00:53:03.900 Yeah.

00:53:04.040 They suck.

00:53:04.760 And it's usually because it's like bad fruit.

00:53:07.160 It starts with bad fruit.

00:53:08.600 Yeah.

00:53:08.680 But if you have bad fruit and then you just cover it in chocolate,

00:53:11.780 you can't tell.

00:53:12.760 Chocolate covered bad fruit.

00:53:15.000 Right.

00:53:15.160 But it's harder to tell.

00:53:16.260 I think that's right.

00:53:17.040 Yes.

00:53:17.460 That's the theory there.

00:53:18.320 You can't spot it.

00:53:19.360 You only spot it once you bite into it.

00:53:21.680 So you're like,

00:53:22.420 wow,

00:53:22.720 that looks great.

00:53:23.660 And then you eat a bite and you're like,

00:53:24.840 okay,

00:53:25.200 I'm not going to have any more of that.

00:53:26.580 Right.

00:53:26.720 That's why,

00:53:27.280 of course,

00:53:28.060 Sherry's berries is the answer.

00:53:29.500 Yes.

00:54:28.280 Glenn,

00:54:28.960 back.

00:54:29.500 Very excited to talk to an author.

00:54:42.060 His name is A.G.

00:54:43.680 Riddle.

00:54:44.520 He's the author of Pandemic,

00:54:47.860 and I'm trying to remember the name of his new one.

00:54:51.340 I think it's Departure.

00:54:52.800 I found him about 10 days ago,

00:54:57.980 and I've read all five of his novels in the last 10 days or 12 days,

00:55:03.680 and I'm interested in the topic that he talks about.

00:55:08.360 He's kind of a sci-fi action writer.

00:55:11.280 He's a guy from Silicon Valley who did some startups and now is writing about quantum computing,

00:55:25.840 and he's fascinated with the evolution of man.

00:55:32.020 And I just find his work really compelling.

00:55:38.400 And I don't know if anybody,

00:55:39.900 do you even know?

00:55:41.300 We should check out.

00:55:42.900 Is he like famous or anything?

00:55:44.680 Or is this a,

00:55:46.020 I mean,

00:55:46.260 I know nothing about him.

00:55:48.300 And he's going to be on with us because I think you should meet him.

00:55:51.620 And if you're looking for a good book to read,

00:55:54.320 any of his books are great,

00:55:56.400 especially if you're into futuristic,

00:55:59.760 the paradox that we are beginning to go into.

00:56:05.340 His latest is Departure,

00:56:07.040 and it's about time travel and quantum computing and what is in store for us in the future.

00:56:19.260 And it's really good.

00:56:20.860 It's really good.

00:56:21.340 It's an entertaining way to talk about the nerd culture you're obsessed with.

00:56:25.020 Yes.

00:56:25.360 Basically.

00:56:26.040 I started because I was looking for,

00:56:27.620 I'm reading all kinds of science and tech books right now,

00:56:32.580 and I'm looking for who's telling this in an interesting way.

00:56:36.100 I find,

00:56:37.040 you know,

00:56:37.200 we kind of did this with,

00:56:38.300 with people like Brad Thor and,

00:56:41.560 you know,

00:56:42.080 became friends with Vince Flynn,

00:56:43.660 Vince Flynn,

00:56:44.400 because at the time they were looking at entertaining ways to tell people what we're really fighting.

00:56:51.940 You know,

00:56:52.440 terrorism and,

00:56:53.560 and right.

00:56:54.140 And all of that international intrigue.

00:56:56.580 So I'm looking now for some entertaining ways to talk to people about,

00:57:02.580 what,

00:57:02.780 you know,

00:57:03.020 what,

00:57:03.900 what we should be thinking about the things that should be crossing our mind.

00:57:07.680 And,

00:57:07.860 you know,

00:57:08.540 you hear about Stephen Hawking said,

00:57:11.860 he just reiterated it again this weekend,

00:57:13.620 that he believes the human race will be finished.

00:57:18.660 That homo sapiens will be done by 2050.

00:57:22.660 That will be out.

00:57:24.300 And I think I,

00:57:25.600 it's bad time we're put out of our misery to be quite honest.

00:57:27.420 I know.

00:57:27.820 I actually think that he may be right,

00:57:31.640 but not in the way that everybody thinks,

00:57:34.520 not the way that you just heard that sentence.

00:57:38.500 There's something,

00:57:39.560 there's something very logical to what he said,

00:57:42.960 especially if you know history or if you're reading stuff like a G riddle,

00:57:47.100 I think he made that clear.

00:57:48.660 And we'll talk about that top of next hour.

00:57:53.580 Glenn Beck.

00:57:58.680 You're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

00:58:00.980 So glad that you're here today.

00:58:02.800 Thank you so much for tuning in.

00:58:04.700 I hope you had a good weekend.

00:58:06.540 We,

00:58:07.220 we have some good news about the Nazarene fund tomorrow.

00:58:11.100 we have Tim Ballard in.

00:58:14.920 He is the CEO of operation underground railroad,

00:58:18.360 which is a,

00:58:20.300 which is just a,

00:58:21.620 an amazing group of people that are going in and,

00:58:24.760 and breaking up the slave trade for sex trafficking all around the world.

00:58:29.760 And doing some amazing things here in the United States,

00:58:32.180 but they can't talk about them here in the United States.

00:58:36.720 But we have partnered with them with the Nazarene fund.

00:58:40.560 So now Tim is the official CEO of the Nazarene fund.

00:58:44.320 And the reason why we partnered with him is because I wanted to,

00:58:48.120 I wanted to expand it.

00:58:50.020 You know,

00:58:50.480 we,

00:58:50.660 we didn't know what we were doing August two years ago when I said,

00:58:54.860 Hey,

00:58:55.080 let's raise, 0.97

00:58:56.500 let's raise a million dollars and let's see if we can get,

00:58:58.920 you know,

00:58:59.420 10 families out or a hundred families out of the middle East.

00:59:04.860 Well,

00:59:05.340 we did get a hundred families out.

00:59:06.900 We,

00:59:07.000 in fact,

00:59:07.520 we had almost 8,000 families,

00:59:10.200 Christians that had been marked for death by ISIS.

00:59:13.720 We got about 8,000 of them out.

00:59:16.240 We moved another,

00:59:17.620 I don't know,

00:59:18.740 six or 10,000 to different parts of the middle East.

00:59:23.540 So they were safe from ISIS.

00:59:26.120 I mean,

00:59:26.540 it is truly one of the most remarkable stories.

00:59:29.240 I think in,

00:59:30.580 in,

00:59:31.760 in radio history or television history,

00:59:34.160 when it comes to a single audience,

00:59:36.160 this single audience saved 8,000 marked for death Christians. 0.72

00:59:44.540 we didn't know what we were doing at first,

00:59:47.620 but we got to be pretty good at it.

00:59:50.680 But then the mission kind of went into another direction.

00:59:55.760 As we were hearing from the,

00:59:58.540 the families that were removing,

01:00:00.580 they said,

01:00:02.020 you know,

01:00:02.240 my sister and her daughters have been kidnapped and they're in the slave trade

01:00:07.680 and they're being held by ISIS.

01:00:10.220 So we started looking into that and we hired some people,

01:00:14.200 a former military,

01:00:15.620 et cetera,

01:00:15.960 et cetera,

01:00:16.240 to go in and rescue these people.

01:00:18.560 We have raised to date now,

01:00:20.660 are so sorry,

01:00:21.400 we have freed 100 slaves in Iraq alone.

01:00:27.400 And these are all women and children.

01:00:32.260 The youngest one,

01:00:33.340 the last one was three years old.

01:00:35.480 That is horrible.

01:00:38.520 We've lost two operatives in a mission.

01:00:42.160 We got the slaves out.

01:00:43.820 They went back for more and they both lost their lives.

01:00:48.180 We really,

01:00:49.100 we need to bring in some,

01:00:51.160 you know,

01:00:51.620 some people who really know what they're doing.

01:00:54.300 And that was Tim Ballard.

01:00:56.280 And so Tim and operation.

01:00:58.560 Oh,

01:00:58.720 you are in the Nazarene fund have merged together and we are going to take on the

01:01:05.400 slave trade,

01:01:06.220 but not only the slave trade in the middle East and Northern Africa,

01:01:10.100 but I can't get into a lot of details.

01:01:14.060 But we are going,

01:01:16.740 there's,

01:01:17.020 there's Oregon trafficking going on now. 0.96

01:01:19.100 And what they're doing is they're kidnapping these children that are

01:01:23.560 Christians. 0.51

01:01:24.100 Cause remember ISIS and people like them believe that, 1.00

01:01:28.380 you know,

01:01:28.980 you don't have a right to live.

01:01:30.900 You're not really a person if you're a Christian. 1.00

01:01:33.700 And so they take these kids and these families and they're harvesting them for 0.99

01:01:37.500 organs.

01:01:38.940 And it's horrific what is happening.

01:01:41.480 And I have seen a video of one of them.

01:01:46.480 And we haven't decided whether or not we're going to show it's disturbing.

01:01:51.440 It's just disturbing.

01:01:53.220 And we put operatives down on the ground.

01:01:57.460 We know where this happened.

01:02:00.700 It's not happening there now,

01:02:02.420 but we have devised some ways to break up the organ harvesting as well and really

01:02:09.880 get to the source of a lot of this,

01:02:12.320 but we need your help.

01:02:14.020 It's going to take a lot of people.

01:02:15.560 And we have,

01:02:16.380 we have so many people from special forces from all around the world that want to do

01:02:20.960 this.

01:02:21.480 It just takes money to do it.

01:02:25.200 So our goal for the year is to raise $25 million.

01:02:30.440 That will free a lot of slaves and it will change not only the Middle East, 0.99

01:02:38.520 but it'll make a huge dent around the world.

01:02:40.400 So we really could use your help and your support.

01:02:43.620 I got an,

01:02:44.020 I got an amazing handwritten letter in from an eight year old boy.

01:02:49.000 I'll have to show it to you on TV tonight.

01:02:51.240 This eight year old boy named Garand.

01:02:56.080 He just wrote,

01:02:57.720 please use this $8 to help the Christians in the Middle East.

01:03:01.260 It warms our heart so much to see the kids participating in this.

01:03:13.480 And we're working on some things to help teach your kids about what's really

01:03:17.640 happening and the evil that is around the world,

01:03:20.180 but to show them,

01:03:21.320 you know,

01:03:22.320 real life superheroes,

01:03:24.240 you know,

01:03:24.500 you don't have to go to comic books.

01:03:26.520 Uh,

01:03:26.880 there are real life superheroes that are,

01:03:28.920 are saving people.

01:03:30.380 Uh,

01:03:31.400 and we would love to get your kids involved in this because they're going to

01:03:35.640 be dealing with it,

01:03:36.540 uh,

01:03:37.020 in their lifetime as well.

01:03:38.940 Good news is just in the first few days of,

01:03:42.980 uh,

01:03:43.320 our fundraising,

01:03:43.940 we've raised a quarter of a million dollars.

01:03:45.940 So we're 1% there,

01:03:47.920 but this is the first,

01:03:49.400 it was like the first four days of this.

01:03:51.880 And,

01:03:52.440 uh,

01:03:52.600 our goal is to raise 25 million in the,

01:03:55.080 in the next year.

01:03:56.480 So by Christmas of next year to be able to raise 25 million,

01:04:00.580 we really need your help.

01:04:01.740 You can go to the Nazarene fund.org,

01:04:05.320 the Nazarene fund.org.

01:04:07.540 So I don't know if you remember,

01:04:25.500 do you remember,

01:04:26.340 um,

01:04:27.320 Congressman Massey?

01:04:30.700 Uh,

01:04:31.580 not Massey,

01:04:33.440 Massa,

01:04:35.000 was it Eric Massa,

01:04:36.300 Massa,

01:04:36.720 Eric Massa.

01:04:37.600 That was his name.

01:04:38.300 Thomas Massey is a good guy.

01:04:40.860 You're right.

01:04:41.320 You're right.

01:04:41.620 This is another,

01:04:42.160 this is Eric Massa.

01:04:43.400 Okay.

01:04:43.860 So Eric Massa,

01:04:45.180 uh,

01:04:45.900 was a guy.

01:04:46.640 This is for,

01:04:47.640 if you're a long time listener or viewer of the show,

01:04:50.340 I was on Fox.

01:04:51.560 The guy called in,

01:04:53.040 he was a Democrat and he said,

01:04:54.660 I've got some dirt on the Democrats.

01:04:57.200 I'm going to expose it all.

01:04:59.280 And I want to talk to you.

01:05:01.660 Okay.

01:05:02.320 He called in during the show.

01:05:03.720 Do you remember?

01:05:04.740 And he said he had all kinds of information that he was going to expose.

01:05:09.080 Well,

01:05:09.540 give me some,

01:05:10.280 not until I'm on the show.

01:05:13.140 Well,

01:05:13.660 we knew that there was some scandal going on.

01:05:16.620 We didn't know exactly what we found out that it was all revolving around tickle fights.

01:05:23.540 Do you remember the tickle fight guy here is a play,

01:05:26.900 play a play a cut one,

01:05:28.520 please.

01:05:29.180 Somebody says I groped male staffers,

01:05:32.900 female staffers. 0.99

01:05:34.360 Um,

01:05:34.920 you know,

01:05:35.400 I was fondling a cat,

01:05:36.940 whatever it is.

01:05:38.340 I don't resign.

01:05:39.760 I stand up and I say,

01:05:40.960 you do know.

01:05:41.680 And here's why.

01:05:42.780 No,

01:05:43.020 I don't.

01:05:43.540 Well,

01:05:43.640 I do.

01:05:44.160 And here's why,

01:05:44.800 because it doesn't make any difference.

01:05:46.480 What my intentions were.

01:05:48.880 It's how it's perceived by the individual who receives that action.

01:05:54.480 That's the Franken line.

01:05:55.240 And we set it up so that it could be completely.

01:05:58.280 Your name is at stake here.

01:06:00.780 And that.

01:06:01.240 No,

01:06:01.460 no,

01:06:01.620 no,

01:06:01.720 no.

01:06:02.120 Not just your name.

01:06:03.400 Everybody's name.

01:06:03.880 Your children's.

01:06:05.060 That's right.

01:06:05.740 Okay.

01:06:06.240 So there are some,

01:06:07.800 there's something called honor.

01:06:09.340 You are a Navy guy.

01:06:10.840 So the only other.

01:06:12.200 Glenn,

01:06:12.480 the only thing I do is slip my wrist and bleed out here on that.

01:06:14.880 I'm telling you I was wrong.

01:06:17.820 I was wrong.

01:06:19.060 It's why I've.

01:06:19.980 Wait,

01:06:20.380 wait.

01:06:21.380 You know what you're saying to me is they took it wrong.

01:06:25.980 No,

01:06:26.560 I'm saying my behavior was wrong.

01:06:28.760 My behavior was wrong.

01:06:30.240 I should have wrong about it.

01:06:31.420 I should have never allowed myself to be as familiar with my staff as I was.

01:06:37.120 I never translated from my days in the Navy to being a congressman.

01:06:41.400 It was,

01:06:41.860 but I did not.

01:06:42.800 Let me be very clear.

01:06:43.340 I don't know what tickle fights in the Navy.

01:06:45.580 I've never been in the Navy.

01:06:46.760 I don't know what tickle fights in the Navy.

01:06:47.940 Let me show you something.

01:06:49.340 You're going to show me tickle fights.

01:06:50.640 I'm going to show you a lot more than tickle fights.

01:06:52.960 Whoa.

01:06:53.860 Okay.

01:06:54.280 So he just went on to this.

01:06:56.220 These,

01:06:56.540 this tickle fight was normal.

01:06:58.300 I finally had enough cut to please,

01:07:01.660 but I cannot put in together in my head.

01:07:04.380 You believe these things.

01:07:05.840 You're trying to convince me.

01:07:07.200 You believe these things.

01:07:08.460 Yep.

01:07:08.800 And I can't change.

01:07:09.700 You realize as a realize bullcrap.

01:07:12.260 I can't especially bullcrap.

01:07:13.700 No,

01:07:14.020 it's not.

01:07:14.500 Listen to me.

01:07:14.980 Here's what you realize what some of us do.

01:07:16.900 You realize what some of us are doing.

01:07:19.380 We're not an elected office.

01:07:20.840 Do you realize my family is at stake?

01:07:23.520 Do you realize?

01:07:24.560 Excuse me,

01:07:25.060 sir.

01:07:25.200 So was mine.

01:07:25.800 Excuse me for a second,

01:07:26.800 sir.

01:07:27.880 My family is at stake.

01:07:29.580 You've got a little scandal with your children in college.

01:07:32.240 I've got one for all time now because I'm not going to resign.

01:07:36.720 I'm not going to back down.

01:07:39.180 I have come to a place to where I believe at some point the system will destroy me.

01:07:44.040 That's okay because I'm going to do what I can to pass on a better America for tomorrow.

01:07:50.260 So I don't understand the white flag.

01:07:53.880 It doesn't make sense to me.

01:07:55.320 For 30 years,

01:07:55.920 I've been doing it.

01:07:56.640 I can't fight this.

01:07:57.880 I can't fight cancer.

01:07:59.240 I can't fight the White House.

01:08:00.600 I can't fight the Democratic Party.

01:08:02.080 I can't fight the Republicans.

01:08:03.840 I can't fight anymore.

01:08:05.620 Okay.

01:08:06.200 So he was trying to make himself look like a hero.

01:08:08.560 But here's what happened.

01:08:09.720 This came out now on Friday.

01:08:12.480 Here's the real story.

01:08:14.600 So Massey.

01:08:16.820 Massey.

01:08:17.420 Massey.

01:08:18.000 Sorry.

01:08:18.500 My apologies to Massey.

01:08:20.980 Massey.

01:08:22.740 He calls us and says,

01:08:25.080 I'm going to expose Harry Reid.

01:08:27.420 I'm going to expose the party.

01:08:29.640 And we know he is in trouble for tickle fights.

01:08:34.440 So we say,

01:08:35.380 well,

01:08:35.480 what do you have?

01:08:36.200 I just,

01:08:37.040 but I'm going to expose it.

01:08:38.700 Then we know that about four o'clock,

01:08:41.700 about an hour before the show on Fox,

01:08:44.460 the,

01:08:45.020 the,

01:08:45.800 the social media changes.

01:08:48.920 And all of a sudden people in the Democratic Party are starting to rally around him.

01:08:55.080 He comes on the show and he says,

01:08:57.440 okay,

01:08:57.660 so I'm not going to tell you what I,

01:08:59.720 what I told you.

01:09:00.720 I'm this,

01:09:01.640 what I really want to say.

01:09:02.660 I was wrong.

01:09:04.500 Didn't make any sense.

01:09:05.740 Did you make a deal with Harry Reid?

01:09:07.800 Did you make a deal of some sort?

01:09:09.200 No,

01:09:09.440 no,

01:09:09.620 no,

01:09:09.800 no,

01:09:09.940 no.

01:09:10.840 What came out Friday was when they're looking through the records on who paid out.

01:09:18.660 Did the parties pay for any sexual harassment lawsuits?

01:09:23.860 Yeah.

01:09:24.480 On that day,

01:09:25.680 the day of the broadcast,

01:09:26.700 it looks like the Democrats decided to pay to cover his butt.

01:09:33.880 So my guess is the deal came down.

01:09:38.300 He used me as a wedge to get a deal,

01:09:41.940 which is what we suspected.

01:09:43.100 But now we know a deal was made and people who were crying sexual harassment about him were paid off by the Democratic Party.

01:09:55.480 That is what happened.

01:09:58.260 And now you know the rest of the story.

01:10:05.780 Getting a good night's sleep is easier said than done, especially if you hear a noise downstairs.

01:11:17.000 Glenn Beck.

01:11:26.340 Glenn Beck.

01:11:28.400 I have to make a book list for you.

01:11:32.120 I've read some really good books lately.

01:11:35.060 Great, great history book.

01:11:38.560 A couple of them.

01:11:41.260 Some really good, you haven't read Brett King's Augmented Life in the Smart Lane.

01:11:47.100 You should.

01:11:48.220 Really good.

01:11:50.140 Reading some great novels.

01:11:53.320 And I'll put a list together in case you want.

01:11:56.300 In case you have book lovers, you know, on your Christmas list.

01:12:00.740 I'll get you a book list.

01:12:02.380 And I asked Rafe last night if he would do one, two.

01:12:06.800 Rafe reads.

01:12:07.360 Rafe is my son.

01:12:08.440 13.

01:12:09.160 He reads probably more than I do.

01:12:12.580 And is just, he devours.

01:12:14.660 I mean, literally, if he starts in the morning and, you know, has kind of a normal day, he can finish a novel in a day.

01:12:24.480 By night time, he's finished.

01:12:26.980 So he just reads and reads and reads and reads.

01:12:30.620 And I asked him if he would put together a list for, you know, 13-year-old boys, if you have a 13-year-old boy.

01:12:35.840 Because he reads pretty much everything.

01:12:37.600 And we're going to do that.

01:12:40.160 We talked last night about reading The Immortal Nicholas.

01:12:43.440 Because we read every night before we go to bed.

01:12:46.680 And so we talked about reading The Immortal Nicholas as a family.

01:12:51.480 And I think what we're going to do is we're going to make that just for subscribers only on TheBlaze.com.

01:12:57.880 It won't be on the TV network or anything else.

01:12:59.620 It'll just be subscribers only.

01:13:01.000 I've got to figure out the technology to, you know, get it so it's really easy to just upload every night.

01:13:08.460 But we'll read, probably starting this week, The Immortal Nicholas until Christmas.

01:13:13.000 And you're also helping teach him a lesson that eventually every good book just winds up being in video at some point,

01:13:18.580 whether it's a movie or something else.

01:13:20.240 So you don't really have to read it.

01:13:22.320 Because reading, you know, takes a long time.

01:13:24.640 No, I really...

01:13:25.600 Someone eventually will read it to you on the internet.

01:13:27.540 Yeah, no.

01:13:28.200 That's the lesson to learn, kids.

01:13:29.860 No.

01:13:30.140 At some point.

01:13:31.780 Or they'll make a movie out of it.

01:13:32.580 No, I don't.

01:13:33.140 One of the two.

01:13:33.320 No, I don't.

01:13:34.000 Actually, I read...

01:13:35.180 Let me see if I can find it here on my list.

01:13:37.020 I read...

01:13:38.380 Oh, it's...

01:13:39.700 Love of Money, or I can't remember what it's called here.

01:13:44.100 Let me see if I can find it.

01:13:45.460 But it is the story of the movie that is coming out, All the Money in the World.

01:13:52.620 Oh, it's Disgustingly Rich or something like that.

01:13:55.620 They're running ads for that.

01:13:56.320 That's the movie that Kevin Spacey was in, and they edited him out of it.

01:13:59.640 Yes, yes.

01:14:00.280 And now Christopher Plummer is playing that role.

01:14:02.500 First of all, the movie looks amazing.

01:14:05.360 So I read the book that it's based on.

01:14:07.620 Oh, okay.

01:14:08.120 Okay.

01:14:09.060 About Getty, right?

01:14:10.320 About Getty.

01:14:11.140 And so it tells the whole...

01:14:12.720 The movie is just really kind of one chapter of this book.

01:14:18.020 But I read the book.

01:14:19.220 I can't wait for the movie.

01:14:20.780 You know what I want to happen?

01:14:22.220 Is about two days before it comes out, I don't care if it's true or not, come out and accuse

01:14:28.200 Christopher Plummer of sexual harassment just to see if they try to edit somebody else in.

01:14:32.020 They just...

01:14:33.540 I just see a lesbian, they're like, all right, uh... 1.00

01:14:35.540 Just got a guy reading, just got a guy reading a line.

01:14:38.080 I won't pay anything for my grandson.

01:14:41.800 It's Painfully Rich is the name of the book by John Pearson, Painfully Rich.

01:14:46.520 If you're into the Getty story, that's a wild ride.

01:14:50.020 Wild ride.

01:14:50.660 Wild ride.

01:14:50.740 It finally happened on Friday.

01:15:11.740 Impeachment hopefuls and resistance warriors like Keith Olbermann have been waiting with

01:15:16.100 bated breath for months, salivating over what secrets Mike Flynn might reveal.

01:15:20.740 We found out Friday.

01:15:22.120 Actually, we didn't find out anything on Friday, but we found out a little.

01:15:26.220 I guess, maybe.

01:15:27.560 Highly anticipated ruling against General Flynn was, wait for it, lying to the FBI.

01:15:34.820 The Mueller hammer everybody was waiting for on the surface seemed a little underwhelming

01:15:41.260 to some.

01:15:43.100 The question is, what did General Flynn promise to the FBI to receive such a small slap on the

01:15:50.360 wrist?

01:15:50.740 If this investigation stops here and this is all they got, they got nothing.

01:15:56.480 I don't think that's the case.

01:15:59.860 After millions of dollars and thousands of man hours invested, if all we get out of this

01:16:06.260 is a lying general and a tax evading lobbyist, that's a pretty big letdown.

01:16:12.880 Manafort and Flynn could very well, though, be act one of a complicated three act play.

01:16:19.140 That's my guess who or what comes next is anyone's guess.

01:16:24.020 But the hyperbolic media reports, the finger pointing, the impeachment calls, that's not

01:16:31.580 helping.

01:16:32.280 And those who say, it got nothing.

01:16:34.800 The president is fine.

01:16:36.640 That's not helpful either.

01:16:37.860 The president defeating his defense after every single allegation really isn't the smartest,

01:16:45.120 Mr. President.

01:16:45.500 I don't know where you.

01:16:46.420 I mean, it's it's like your attorneys are from H&R Block.

01:16:50.540 Those are tax attorneys, man.

01:16:52.800 They can't help you on this.

01:16:54.480 Stop listening to your really crappy attorneys.

01:16:56.740 So let's get back on track.

01:16:59.540 The investigation better start producing fruit soon.

01:17:03.700 And we all need to look at that fruit and start accepting that fruit, no matter which

01:17:10.140 way it goes.

01:17:11.900 Russian interference is an undisputed fact.

01:17:15.040 Putin is a threat.

01:17:17.000 Russia is a threat. 0.98

01:17:18.720 The entire intelligence community is on agreement on this.

01:17:22.120 Russian intelligence services launched a campaign to publicly sway opinion via social media.

01:17:29.220 They appear to be involved in the Fusion GPS dossier and a meeting at Trump Tower.

01:17:35.120 More Trump administration officials could be involved.

01:17:38.400 But so can the Democrats and the Clinton campaign and a laundry list of other Americans.

01:17:44.380 This is a serious issue.

01:17:46.340 And if we don't fix this now, imagine what might and probably will happen during the midterms

01:17:52.020 and the 2020 election.

01:17:55.000 If this was just the opening salvo of a much larger Russian influence operation, we're in

01:18:00.100 serious trouble.

01:18:01.740 The media needs to stop with the overreaction.

01:18:04.760 And so do the supporters.

01:18:06.540 Those calling for impeachment every time something comes out, they need to calm down.

01:18:11.460 Those who've already made up their minds that he is guilty or not guilty will ultimately find

01:18:17.400 themselves missing the actual threat.

01:18:19.540 So to all the investigators, the FBI, the DOJ and all other investigations that are open

01:18:26.880 on this, do your jobs, be thorough, do it quickly.

01:18:32.300 There is too much at stake here.

01:18:34.320 It's Monday, December 4th.

01:18:45.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:49.220 So I did something after I was on holiday and I had downloaded a whole bunch of books.

01:18:55.060 And one of them, I think, was Pandemic.

01:18:59.660 I think that's the first one that I read.

01:19:00.920 And I've never done this, you know, at the end of the book, sometimes it says, hey, write

01:19:05.800 to the author and tell me what you think.

01:19:08.240 And so I did.

01:19:09.740 And I just wrote, I said, hey, I just finished one of your books and I really enjoyed it.

01:19:13.680 And he wrote me back right away and said, hey, thanks so much.

01:19:17.580 I'd like to, you know, send you an autographed copy.

01:19:20.440 And I'm like, oh, thanks.

01:19:21.860 No recognition of who I was or I don't.

01:19:24.580 I mean, I don't even know now if he really knows who I am.

01:19:28.440 But so I said, I'm already into the second book and it's really great.

01:19:34.320 Well, probably much to his surprise, I've since that I've read all of his books because he

01:19:44.600 is looking at a problem that I am really interested in.

01:19:48.860 And he has some kind of some facts that he builds his fiction.

01:19:53.200 And a lot of it is, I think I would classify it, I guess, as sci-fi in a way.

01:19:56.520 He builds his fiction around some facts that I want to find out more about.

01:20:03.520 So I want to introduce you to A.J. Riddle, A.G. Riddle.

01:20:07.000 He's the author of Pandemic and also The Atlantis Gene.

01:20:12.380 And I think the new one is called, what is it, A.G.?

01:20:16.740 It's Genome.

01:20:17.940 Genome.

01:20:19.140 No, no, no.

01:20:19.960 Departure.

01:20:20.440 I thought that was the new one.

01:20:22.160 Well, Departure actually came out before Pandemic.

01:20:25.560 So it's a standalone, but it may be the most recent book you've read.

01:20:29.160 OK, OK.

01:20:30.100 Yeah.

01:20:30.460 All right.

01:20:31.140 So anyway, they're all great.

01:20:33.020 They're all great.

01:20:34.260 So let me first of all, thanks for coming on the program.

01:20:38.380 Of course.

01:20:39.880 You really kind of look into a couple of things that interest me.

01:20:48.400 You know, Stephen Hawking has said, he just said it again this weekend, that homo sapiens

01:20:53.480 are going to be a thing of the past by 2050.

01:20:57.980 And people freak out and they think, oh, my gosh, we're going to be all wiped out.

01:21:02.140 I don't think that's what he means.

01:21:04.460 He means that homo sapiens, as we know them, as we are now, are going to be so transformed

01:21:11.940 that you won't be able to recognize the current homo sapien next to the new homo sapien of

01:21:22.500 2050.

01:21:23.860 Does that make sense to you?

01:21:25.380 It does.

01:21:26.300 And I mean, I think he's right in that we're, I believe we're in the midst of this radical

01:21:31.340 transformation that we're just now getting our heads around.

01:21:34.000 So in your book, you talk about something called the Great Leap, and I was only familiar

01:21:40.220 with the Great Leap Forward of China, which was a nightmare. 0.96

01:21:44.180 But you talk about the Great Leap.

01:21:46.960 Can you describe that?

01:21:48.680 Sure.

01:21:49.280 I mean, you know, one of the interests and one of the themes of my work is, you know,

01:21:53.780 humanity's genetic history.

01:21:55.080 And so what we now believe is that the current, you know, that our race of humans, the homo 0.99

01:22:00.640 sapiens sapiens, are about 200,000 years old.

01:22:03.340 And so when we first evolved, you know, we know there were Neanderthals existed on Earth

01:22:08.840 for maybe 200,000 or 300,000 years before us.

01:22:12.700 And there were, you know, these humans called denosivans and homo fluorinesis on the island 1.00

01:22:19.000 of Java.

01:22:19.580 So there were other human species.

01:22:20.960 And so we coexisted with them for about roughly 150,000 years.

01:22:25.900 And it was status quo.

01:22:27.080 I mean, you know, life went on on Earth as it had for, you know, a very, very long time.

01:22:32.700 And then something happened about 50,000 years ago.

01:22:36.780 And we see it, especially in Europe, this explosion of creativity.

01:22:40.500 We see these cave paintings and sort of this advent of figurative art.

01:22:45.580 And so making, you know, clay sculptures and these other things.

01:22:49.040 And so we also see the advent of complex language.

01:22:53.620 And so these are things that really had not existed on Earth before.

01:22:58.040 I mean, there were species that were, that Homo erectus had made tools and other sort of

01:23:05.000 breakthrough, you know, we had learned to control fire.

01:23:07.600 But we, no human species had ever done anything on this level cognitively.

01:23:13.560 And so we call, you know, geneticists call this the great leap forward.

01:23:20.580 And so the only thing that we know for a fact is that after that, all the other human species

01:23:26.500 went extinct.

01:23:27.300 And so this, I think this coincides with the extinction of other archaic humans. 0.95

01:23:36.180 And so I think there, you know, to me, it feels like we're in another great leap forward.

01:23:40.340 Okay, before we, wait, wait, before we go to the other great leap forward, let me just ask one thing.

01:23:44.100 Because in your books, you kind of, and I don't know what's fact and what's fiction here.

01:23:51.220 You, you allude to the fact that those that, that, you know, the other species were kind of killed by us 0.59

01:24:01.140 for competition of meat.

01:24:04.080 And, you know, we had to go, we had, we needed 20% more calories for our brains.

01:24:10.420 Um, and, you know, they were bigger, stronger, but we were smarter.

01:24:14.680 And so we kind of wiped them out.

01:24:16.900 Is that true or is that speculation?

01:24:20.020 Well, um, it's still a matter of debate.

01:24:22.980 I mean, what we do know for a fact is that when our species moved into an area, we see the

01:24:30.780 archeological record of other species stop.

01:24:34.580 And so the, the big debate is, was that some sort of, uh, interbreeding with our species

01:24:41.260 or was it competition?

01:24:43.320 You know, Neanderthals had existed in Europe for half a million years.

01:24:46.560 They'd seen a lot of climate change.

01:24:48.280 And so a lot of, you know, anthropologists say, Hey, look, you know, we think that obviously

01:24:54.140 the world was getting warmer, uh, at that point.

01:24:57.500 And we think that created this ecological disaster that wiped out the Neanderthals. 0.95

01:25:01.840 But to me, that doesn't hold a lot of water because you've got a species that's very long

01:25:06.620 lived.

01:25:07.300 We show up on the scene, you know, the cognitive revolution happens at the same time and these

01:25:12.320 guys disappear.

01:25:13.960 So, okay.

01:25:14.820 So the reason why I bring this up in it may be where you're going, take us to the next

01:25:19.740 great leap.

01:25:22.040 Well, I think, you know, we're, to me, it's sort of like a ripple on the horizon.

01:25:26.300 And, and, you know, in the late nineties, people said, Oh, the internet is going to transform

01:25:31.260 everything.

01:25:32.080 You know, the, the retailers are going to go bust.

01:25:34.940 And then it largely didn't materialize.

01:25:37.680 You know, things went on the way they had for a long time, but now we're seeing this transformation

01:25:42.960 of, of empty malls.

01:25:45.220 You know, you walk into a restaurant and now there's a touchscreen to take your order instead

01:25:49.860 of a person.

01:25:50.520 I mean, the people are still there.

01:25:52.180 Assembly lines need less people.

01:25:54.160 So we're seeing, you know, this, call it a technological revolution of robotics and artificial

01:26:00.820 intelligence.

01:26:01.680 You know, robotics are doing a lot of the manual labor that, that we've traditionally done

01:26:06.440 for, you know, since history began and artificial intelligence threatens to, to frankly do a lot

01:26:13.340 of our thinking for us.

01:26:14.800 So, you know, part of the thing that I explore in my books is, you know, what, what becomes

01:26:20.700 of the human race and what, what does the future look like?

01:26:24.160 And that, that's something I worry about.

01:26:26.260 Okay.

01:26:26.740 So let me ask you this, um, as I have read yours, I'm also reading, you know, I read a

01:26:32.660 lot of Rick Kurzweil and, uh, um, I'm reading Brett King, uh, his book called augmented, which

01:26:38.460 is, um, all about, um, you know, what, what, what do we need to teach our children?

01:26:43.820 What is on the horizon?

01:26:45.220 And, and what do we teach our children?

01:26:47.280 And one of the things that he talks about is that we have to be open-minded.

01:26:53.460 Um, we have to learn how to work with robotics and AI, uh, and we have to really be open to

01:27:00.100 accepting the changes that will be coming even to our own bodies and with nanotechnology,

01:27:05.080 et cetera, et cetera.

01:27:05.660 So as I'm putting all of these together and then I read your great leap, I think to myself,

01:27:10.320 okay, so what I believe Stephen Hawking is talking about and, and Ray Kurzweil is, is,

01:27:18.420 is the, uh, uh, transhumanism.

01:27:22.460 It's the singularity of bringing man and machine and making them one.

01:27:26.900 If you do this and you have quantum computing and AI, a, a, an upgraded human is going to

01:27:35.980 talk to a non-upgraded human and, and it would be like talking to a dog.

01:27:41.020 I mean, the, the information and the, the modeling that the individual could do, who's

01:27:47.720 upgraded that would be completely lost on a non-upgraded homo sapien.

01:27:53.140 Um, it puts us in a different category.

01:27:57.780 And so that was my first thought was, okay, this is going to put us in a different category.

01:28:02.180 You're not going to be able to relate.

01:28:03.700 Then I started thinking, well, we're already talking about cars, you know, once, once automated

01:28:09.260 cars are really, uh, you know, uh, everywhere, it's only a matter of time before we don't

01:28:16.100 let humans drive anymore because they're going to, they're going to screw it all up.

01:28:20.060 Well, if you have a non-upgraded human and everybody else is upgraded, I'm not going to

01:28:25.880 let the human really touch anything because it's like having your dog drive a bus.

01:28:30.400 You don't do that.

01:28:31.540 You, you, you can't do it.

01:28:33.540 Then I read your book and I think of the great leap.

01:28:37.000 Is it possible that we, that the upgraded humans actually do wipe out the homo sapien because

01:28:45.820 we're dangerous to them?

01:28:47.760 Um, well, certainly, I mean, I think the long arc of human history has been to a certain

01:28:56.120 extent replacement and sort of one dominant species.

01:28:59.980 I mean, one of the things that fascinates me is, is the fact that there are no Neanderthals,

01:29:05.020 but there are, you know, plenty of chimps and gorillas and bonobos.

01:29:09.040 And these are, you know, obviously, uh, whether you believe in evolution or not, you have to

01:29:14.200 agree that genetically, you know, a chimpanzee is 98 point, uh, you know, 99.8% of the same

01:29:22.760 genome as, as our species of human.

01:29:26.920 And so it's like, you know, why did they survive and Neanderthals didn't? 0.63

01:29:30.240 And I think it's very clear that chimpanzees were not a competitor for, for food with us.

01:29:37.800 And to a certain extent, they weren't a threat.

01:29:40.600 And so, um, the question for me becomes, all right, if we know the future is about a certain

01:29:47.560 amount of merging of human with technology, you look on the street today and everyone

01:29:52.560 walking around is staring at their cell phone.

01:29:54.680 Half the people driving are staring at their cell phone.

01:29:57.560 And so it's, uh, whether it's been implanted or not, there is this sort of merging with

01:30:01.680 technology that we know is somewhat inevitable.

01:30:05.040 Um, what does become the role for humans?

01:30:09.060 And I do think there will be this, probably a minority of people that say, you know, I like

01:30:15.480 life the way it is and I'm not, I'm not going to join this sort of future that, that humanity

01:30:21.600 at large has envisioned.

01:30:22.640 And, and I mean, I, I like to think that there's going to be coexistence and peace, but you know,

01:30:29.880 the long arc of human history hasn't, hasn't really borne that out, but we may be entering

01:30:34.080 this new era.

01:30:35.880 A.G.

01:30:36.560 Riddle, um, author of genome, uh, also the, uh, that's a part of the pandemic series, uh,

01:30:44.800 the, uh, Atlantis plague and, uh, departure.

01:30:47.920 You can start really anywhere and, uh, pick them up and, and enjoy them.

01:30:51.560 Um, great storytelling, really, really great storytelling.

01:30:54.840 I really enjoyed it.

01:30:56.240 Um, A.G., I'd love to talk to you again sometime.

01:30:58.640 Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

01:31:00.540 Oh, thanks for having me.

01:31:02.160 Really appreciate it.

01:31:02.940 You bet.

01:31:03.520 Bye-bye.

01:31:04.280 Uh, name of the book, uh, again is genome.

01:31:08.820 Uh, it's part of the pandemic series.

01:31:11.400 Uh, I started with pandemic, then went to genome.

01:31:14.700 Uh, I just read departure, which he said was an earlier book, which I thought, I thought

01:31:18.820 was really, really good.

01:31:19.860 Um, but doesn't have kind of some of the, the deeper, uh, uh, stuff in it about the great

01:31:27.160 leap.

01:31:27.500 I mean, if you're, if you're, if you're at all curious about what the future holds and

01:31:33.640 where do we come from and what, what is, what, what is going to, what's the next turn?

01:31:39.300 He gives you some food for thought.

01:31:41.080 It's all sci-fi obviously, but, uh, it's, it's quite good.

01:31:44.700 Uh, a G riddle is in 2017, we witnessed, uh, numerous natural disasters, uh, an increasing

01:32:03.520 threat from North Korea and alarming number of, uh, cyber attacks on financial data and,

01:32:08.840 and hacks.

01:32:09.860 Many Americans have felt, you know, maybe I should be a little more prepared than I was

01:32:15.880 big disasters will strike.

01:32:18.840 And when the big disasters come, there's, there's not going to be any warning.

01:32:22.660 It's not complicated to prepare.

01:32:24.600 It used to be, but it's not, and it's not anymore because of a company called my Patriot

01:32:29.020 supply.

01:32:29.760 When my Patriot supply, when, when Matt Redhawk first started my Patriot supply, um, he was

01:32:35.140 a guy who just, you know, was a guy who's paying attention to the news and was like,

01:32:39.740 I gotta, I gotta, you know, uh, get prepared.

01:32:42.720 He starts to get prepared and he realizes most of the stuff that he's buying tastes like crap.

01:32:47.540 It's MREs.

01:32:48.640 It's not easy to store.

01:32:50.380 It's just awful.

01:32:51.680 He thought there's got to be a better way to do this.

01:32:54.520 Now he's put everybody out of business.

01:32:56.420 They are so good.

01:32:57.760 The food is so good.

01:32:59.240 The quality is so high and the price is so affordable.

01:33:02.960 He's now offering 102 servings.

01:33:33.320 Glenn Beck.

01:33:41.100 Glenn Beck.

01:33:42.780 Stu and I are just having an interesting conversation off the air about, you know,

01:33:46.440 why does this stuff matter?

01:33:47.880 Yeah, like even if you figure out exactly what's going to happen in the future and think

01:33:52.160 of some magical way to stop it or make it better, I mean, then you're probably going

01:33:56.780 to be dead in like three days anyway, and no one's even going to know.

01:33:59.840 That's very optimistic.

01:34:00.760 No, I'm not.

01:34:01.280 Yeah.

01:34:01.640 So, I mean, because I'm really concerned about technology.

01:34:07.280 I'm both thrilled and excited about technology and very concerned because we're not thinking

01:34:12.360 about the ethics that are coming our way.

01:34:14.340 We're all distracted and it's just going to come barreling down on us.

01:34:19.380 Um, our education system is not prepared to teach us what we need to learn.

01:34:27.740 Um, it's, it's, it's teaching us to live in a world of 1940 and what's coming is robotics

01:34:35.580 and artificial intelligence and a completely different way of life.

01:34:39.880 So, a, you're not going to stop it.

01:34:43.000 None of us is going to be stopped.

01:34:44.120 The genie's out of the bottle.

01:34:45.140 So, it's not stoppable.

01:34:47.020 Um, uh, however, how do you live with it?

01:34:51.900 Now, how do you prevent, you know, how do you warn about things that are really bad?

01:34:56.660 How do you, how do you decide and prepare yourself before it's just here?

01:35:01.880 Uh, so you're strong enough to not just fall in line with things that are, are maybe moving

01:35:09.380 in the wrong direction.

01:35:10.800 How do you teach your children to be prepared for the world of tomorrow?

01:35:15.680 What, what should they even be doing?

01:35:17.260 Go to college.

01:35:18.140 Study what?

01:35:20.840 Glenn Beck.

01:35:27.820 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:35:29.660 It's a really big week in the, uh, court system, uh, tomorrow, uh, Donald Trump is going to

01:35:37.760 court to try to fight a lawsuit.

01:35:40.200 Remember the woman who was on, uh, the apprentice was a huge fan.

01:35:45.700 Then she was out in California.

01:35:47.640 He called her up and said, Hey, why don't you come to my place at the peninsula?

01:35:51.200 Uh, and we'll talk.

01:35:52.380 She went, she, she said that she was, you know, abused by him.

01:35:57.740 And it was horrible because she was such a big fan.

01:36:00.680 He called her a liar.

01:36:02.400 She's now suing for defamation of character. 1.00

01:36:06.260 Um, and she said, I wasn't lying and don't call me a liar.

01:36:09.700 Now the white house tomorrow is going to be in court arguing that the president can't do

01:36:14.440 depositions, um, while he's the president because it will distract him from his other

01:36:19.820 duties, et cetera, et cetera.

01:36:21.020 It's not going to fly because it didn't fly with bill Clinton.

01:36:24.020 So if that happens, that's a big deal.

01:36:27.680 Cause it's going to open up an entirely new front on the president.

01:36:31.860 Uh, and it will be the, it, I think that if it goes through, I think that will be the

01:36:38.680 story of 2018 for Donald Trump that and, and Russia, but this one will probably be a,

01:36:45.140 a faster, uh, knife.

01:36:48.720 The other thing that is happening tomorrow in the court system is we're going to hear

01:36:52.580 the, uh, gay wedding cake.

01:36:55.120 The Supreme court is going to hear this case.

01:36:57.680 Welcome to the program, Pat Gray.

01:36:59.200 Thank you.

01:36:59.620 Uh, this is the one from, uh, Colorado where, uh, a gay couple came in and they asked, uh,

01:37:07.920 this man, Mr. Phillips for a wedding cake.

01:37:10.900 And right away, he said, you know, I'll, I'll bake anything for you.

01:37:13.960 You can have brownies, pies, I'll, I'll sell you whatever you want, but I just can't be

01:37:19.420 part of your wedding.

01:37:20.300 I, that's my art.

01:37:21.920 And, uh, and I, uh, it's a real personal thing for me and I just feel like it violates

01:37:26.720 my religious rights.

01:37:27.780 And so they took him to court and they sued him.

01:37:30.080 And of course, Colorado decided that if he doesn't, if he doesn't do cakes for gay

01:37:37.720 weddings, he can't do any cakes at all.

01:37:39.560 That was their ruling.

01:37:41.640 So he's taken it all the way to the Supreme court.

01:37:43.840 Yeah.

01:37:44.700 Just unbelievable.

01:37:45.800 It's unbelievable because, you know, obviously he's claiming, uh, first amendment freedom

01:37:51.000 of speech and religious freedom, both first amendment issues.

01:37:56.500 And so, uh, does that Trump this equality thing?

01:38:01.400 Do you have to participate in somebody's wedding if they ask you to, it seems so bizarre.

01:38:06.820 And we've talked about this a million times.

01:38:08.320 Why would you want that?

01:38:09.560 If you're a gay couple and a guy doesn't want to be a part of your wedding, why would 1.00

01:38:13.900 you want him to be?

01:38:15.660 Doesn't make any sense to me.

01:38:17.520 It doesn't.

01:38:18.100 And they're sort of arguing this on the basis of he's an artist.

01:38:22.560 Yes.

01:38:23.040 With his, his bakery.

01:38:24.880 It's an art gallery of cakes basically.

01:38:27.340 And it's my dad, my dad's expression.

01:38:30.000 My dad, uh, you know, made cakes for a living.

01:38:33.460 Um, he was a baker and stunning development.

01:38:35.580 No one could have guessed that from, I know from looking at me.

01:38:37.980 Uh, and he's, uh, his specialty were, were wedding cakes and he was an artist.

01:38:42.920 He was absolutely an artist.

01:38:44.940 It is an art form.

01:38:47.200 And that was, that's what he says.

01:38:49.080 And because they said, well, it just because you make him a wedding cake, that doesn't mean

01:38:53.240 you're participating in the wedding.

01:38:54.320 So that doesn't constitute religious freedom.

01:38:57.500 And then he, he brought in this artistic part of it.

01:39:00.400 And so the, that's what the Supreme court will hear, uh, tomorrow, whether or not he

01:39:04.900 has the right to, to not participate in their wedding.

01:39:08.240 And I I'm guessing the Supreme court is going to decide he has to participate in their wedding.

01:39:13.220 That's amazing.

01:39:13.860 They're saying that this is basically already for, for, for, for, for from the beginning.

01:39:19.200 And then you've got Anthony Kennedy who always decides on behalf of the, of gay rights.

01:39:24.020 Although they, he has decided, uh, on the side of religious freedom a couple of times

01:39:28.680 as well, not against gay rights, right?

01:39:31.560 Yeah.

01:39:31.900 So he, so it'll be interesting to see which one wins up with him.

01:39:34.720 Yeah.

01:39:35.240 Interesting.

01:39:35.900 What are the ramifications of this?

01:39:38.120 If the Supreme court says, how far can they take this now?

01:39:41.680 It means from what I understand it, the legal world is saying that you will have to, uh,

01:39:47.740 kiss men at any point that you're requested.

01:39:52.320 No, but you cannot say you do not want to participate in that because I thought it was

01:39:56.220 bigger than that.

01:39:56.920 I thought we all had to be gay after this all the time.

01:39:59.900 Yeah.

01:40:00.080 Okay.

01:40:00.380 I thought it was just guys are probably the wrong people to ask.

01:40:04.540 Uh, no, but I mean, if, if you're saying now that this is an art form and it is, and

01:40:10.960 I'm spending my time and I will make you anything, I just cannot make you something because of

01:40:18.580 my religious belief.

01:40:20.100 I can't put my hard earned time and artwork towards your wedding.

01:40:27.940 Well, then that's everything that's that.

01:40:32.300 Yeah.

01:40:32.580 That's everything.

01:40:34.160 Yeah.

01:40:34.640 You, you have no right to your religious freedom as practiced outside of the church.

01:40:41.280 You have, this is a really good move by a FDR. 0.90

01:40:44.980 You have the freedom to worship.

01:40:46.540 You worship any way you want in your church, worship any way you want.

01:40:49.900 But once you're outside, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can worship in your house.

01:40:56.740 We can't even really do that now.

01:40:58.300 But once you're outside, then that's different.

01:41:01.360 Yeah.

01:41:02.160 Well, that doesn't really mean anything.

01:41:04.240 If I can't apply what I believe, I mean, this is the problem with, honestly, this is

01:41:12.740 why the Amish get away with it. 0.99

01:41:15.900 Okay.

01:41:17.120 Because they mean it.

01:41:18.740 Yeah.

01:41:19.220 You know what I mean?

01:41:20.020 They're not playing some, you know, oh, we're also, you know, pious.

01:41:24.940 And then at night they're, you know, whipping out their LED screens and watching movies.

01:41:29.040 They're not doing it.

01:41:30.420 We're Christians.

01:41:31.740 We say one thing, but we live a different way.

01:41:34.480 And so nobody, you know, I don't believe you actually believe that stuff.

01:41:38.800 We're the Amish.

01:41:40.000 You know, I mean, you're dressing like that.

01:41:42.960 You're still in the barn shoveling crap.

01:41:45.820 You've never seen a cell phone.

01:41:48.580 I think you believe it.

01:41:49.920 Yeah.

01:41:50.320 I think you believe it.

01:41:51.420 Well, I mean, it's a, it's a, you'd think for sure you'd believe that the baker actually

01:41:55.900 believes has convictions here.

01:41:57.320 He's being offered money.

01:41:58.760 It's his, it's the way he makes a living.

01:42:00.500 Right.

01:42:00.800 And he's turning down money to make this stance.

01:42:05.040 And especially when he'll give them, he'll make them anything else.

01:42:08.180 Yeah.

01:42:08.620 You know, it's not like he's denying them service because they're gay.

01:42:11.860 It's just that he doesn't want to participate in that particular ceremony.

01:42:15.240 See, here's the, here's the problem.

01:42:18.000 We need each other.

01:42:19.840 We need each other.

01:42:20.980 And I don't want to live in a world where everybody is exactly the same.

01:42:25.720 We need the pushback.

01:42:28.900 It's the only way we grow.

01:42:31.180 And as long as your pushback is not evil, if this guy was like, you get them gays out 1.00

01:42:38.460 of my bakery.

01:42:39.860 Well, you're just, you're just a bigoted guy, but if you say you're welcome here anytime

01:42:46.320 I am, I, I, your friend, I, you know, I love you and you can have anything.

01:42:52.520 I can't cross this line because of my belief.

01:42:57.080 That's when we all need to say, okay, you know, if I said, Hey, I want you to come and

01:43:03.180 participate in, you know, this particular thing.

01:43:07.080 And for instance, I asked a rabbi to come speak at our church.

01:43:10.660 Hey, would you come speak at his church?

01:43:12.840 He says, no, I can't.

01:43:15.100 I can't.

01:43:16.000 Why rabbis are not allowed to walk into churches. 1.00

01:43:20.140 You're just not allowed.

01:43:21.240 You're a rabbi.

01:43:21.780 You don't walk into a church.

01:43:23.040 I didn't know that.

01:43:24.300 I didn't either.

01:43:25.280 Now, does that make him bigoted?

01:43:27.060 Oh, it just means that's his religious belief that we as a rabbi are not supposed to go into

01:43:33.400 the houses of worship of other people's faith.

01:43:35.860 That doesn't make him a bigot.

01:43:37.820 I can live side by side with him.

01:43:39.660 We're fine.

01:43:40.860 That's just his belief.

01:43:42.660 My belief is different to force what I want.

01:43:45.880 What I want to live in a world where I could force the rabbi. 1.00

01:43:49.280 No, I'm sorry, rabbi.

01:43:52.140 You won't be able to practice any of your religious stuff unless you come right now and speak at 1.00

01:43:59.540 my church.

01:44:00.580 No, it's against my religious belief.

01:44:02.500 I don't care.

01:44:03.360 You're a bigot.

01:44:05.580 I don't want to live in a world that is forcing him to go and break his religious belief unless

01:44:11.840 he's outside all the time going, you know, these Christians all need to be rounded up. 1.00

01:44:16.060 No, thank you.

01:44:17.520 That's a different thing.

01:44:18.840 But we all have our religious belief.

01:44:21.940 And no matter what it is, Penn Jillette, I don't agree with his belief in religion.

01:44:27.820 He doesn't believe in it.

01:44:29.500 He doesn't believe in God.

01:44:30.600 I don't believe that.

01:44:31.800 I don't want to shut him up.

01:44:33.000 I don't want to change his lifestyle.

01:44:34.300 Well, I like him.

01:44:35.920 He's a nice guy.

01:44:36.980 He's not doing me any harm.

01:44:39.100 Let him go.

01:44:40.280 If he said, if I said, hey, I wanted you to come to, you know, my wedding.

01:44:44.260 Now he would.

01:44:45.300 But let's just say he was one of these hardcore atheists is like, I'm not going to church.

01:44:50.620 Okay, cool.

01:44:52.620 That's fine.

01:44:53.600 I don't agree with it, but okay.

01:44:56.240 Doesn't change me.

01:44:57.180 Doesn't change him.

01:44:58.160 It's just he doesn't want to go to a church because he doesn't believe in God.

01:45:00.960 Okay, yeah, well, I mean the question a lot of people have asked is would would a Jewish

01:45:08.960 baker have to make a cake for a Nazi? 0.99

01:45:11.900 Are we are we getting to that point where you're going to be forced into doing all of

01:45:15.480 those things?

01:45:15.900 But see what they'll say to you what they'll say to you is, oh, come on.

01:45:19.860 That's just not going to happen.

01:45:21.140 No, that's not going to happen.

01:45:22.360 Well, no, but you're setting the precedent that it has to happen.

01:45:27.380 Yeah, if it's if it's if it's not because they they're.

01:45:30.960 Their defense is that he that a baker that supported same-sex marriage could refuse to

01:45:38.140 make a cake opposing it.

01:45:39.520 Right.

01:45:40.160 And that's obviously true.

01:45:41.620 Their defense that as well.

01:45:42.940 Right.

01:45:43.100 That's not that's not a sexual.

01:45:44.740 That's not a case of sexual discrimination, though.

01:45:47.300 That's not a case of that's just a political statement case like the Nazi, the Jewish Nazi 0.57

01:45:52.420 thing.

01:45:52.880 They could say so.

01:45:53.780 All right.

01:45:53.940 So Corey Ten Boom, you know, she is she she actually to save Jews. 0.85

01:45:59.580 She's a Christian.

01:46:00.200 She actually went to what is it Ravensbrook and she and her sister, her sister died in

01:46:07.000 Ravensbrook and she went with the Jews to to the concentration camps.

01:46:13.420 She's a remarkable woman.

01:46:16.420 She gets out and she goes on a tour of saying love and forgiveness.

01:46:21.480 Now she's going all over Europe. 0.99

01:46:23.440 Love and forgiveness.

01:46:24.400 We have to love the people that we think we despise that hated us.

01:46:29.820 Love, love, love, love, love.

01:46:30.940 That's the answer.

01:46:32.060 So she goes into a church in Munich and she said she felt her real first big test.

01:46:37.080 She goes into this church in Munich and she starts to give her speech on love and she

01:46:42.840 looks down and she sees the guy that was in charge of the shower room when her and her 0.86

01:46:50.260 sister came in.

01:46:51.280 He was the he was the main guard and was in charge of all of the mocking and all of the

01:46:57.220 things.

01:46:57.520 Can you imagine what happened in shower rooms?

01:46:59.400 All of the things that the guards were doing in the shower rooms.

01:47:01.960 He was the guy in charge and she was preaching love.

01:47:04.460 And he comes up to her afterwards and he said, I am glad to know that there's forgiveness

01:47:12.100 even for people like me.

01:47:14.380 Thank you.

01:47:15.040 And he puts his hand out and she said, I couldn't shake his hand.

01:47:18.160 I couldn't.

01:47:18.720 She said everything in me.

01:47:19.940 I could not do it.

01:47:21.020 I couldn't.

01:47:21.700 And she said, I immediately closed my eyes and started prayer.

01:47:24.620 Lord, help me here because I have no love for this man.

01:47:28.080 I cannot find a love.

01:47:30.100 Help me.

01:47:31.220 She said she opens her eyes and he's standing there and she's like, I could.

01:47:34.440 She said it was like my, my arm was tied down.

01:47:38.820 I could not move it.

01:47:40.480 She said, I closed my eyes again.

01:47:42.400 Lord, help me here because I can't find the love for him.

01:47:45.760 She said, I opened my eyes a second time.

01:47:48.020 She said, my arm started going up.

01:47:49.640 She said, when I grasped his hand, she said, that is when I just felt the power, God's power

01:47:57.320 of giving me the love for him.

01:48:00.400 She said, but I had to start moving my hand first.

01:48:04.240 I have no idea why I'm telling you this story now, but I know it ties in to what we were

01:48:09.660 talking about.

01:48:10.600 Wow.

01:48:10.920 Okay.

01:48:11.560 It's powerful.

01:48:12.680 Yeah.

01:48:12.980 Did Corey Ten Boom say that?

01:48:14.480 Is that, or is that a quote from her?

01:48:16.100 That's a quote.

01:48:16.460 She was starting to lose it there at the end.

01:48:18.620 All right.

01:48:20.480 So I think the point, I think the point is, is that this is who we're supposed to be.

01:48:29.060 We're supposed to be able to, no matter what, we need each other.

01:48:34.160 We got to love each other, but we don't have to force it down each other's throat.

01:48:42.220 Otherwise, it does lead to the showers.

01:48:44.460 That kind of stuff leads to the showers. 0.99

01:48:46.860 One side says they're right.

01:48:48.600 The other side says, no, I'm right.

01:48:51.440 Which everyone has the power.

01:48:54.640 If you don't agree to disagree, then you have to round people up.

01:48:59.620 We got to love each other and recognize that we have to coexist.

01:49:05.340 It always ends with a bullet to the head.

01:49:07.700 I think we've said that before, haven't we?

01:49:09.600 That's where it always ends.

01:49:10.780 It always does.

01:49:11.400 It always ends.

01:49:12.380 Yeah.

01:49:12.520 Okay, well, so we're looking forward to a really great court case tomorrow with a bullet

01:49:18.180 into the head of the baker.

01:49:24.180 Also, a very upbeat Pat Gray Unleashed is certainly around the corner.

01:49:29.980 Pat, what are you leading with?

01:49:35.700 Entertaining version of what we just talked about.

01:49:38.400 So that's coming up.

01:49:40.020 No Corey Ten Boom 12-minute dissertation on handshaking.

01:49:46.340 Yeah.

01:49:46.920 It was a little deeper than that, I suppose.

01:49:48.740 A little.

01:49:49.380 Listen to this quote from the, real quick.

01:49:52.120 If a retail bakery will offer a white, three-tiered cake to one customer, it has no constitutional

01:49:58.480 right to refuse to sell the same cake to the next customer because he happens to be African 1.00

01:50:04.500 American, Jewish, or gay.

01:50:06.200 That's their, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission is making that argument, essentially saying

01:50:10.940 it's the same thing.

01:50:12.320 You can't, you can't refuse it to one and not the other.

01:50:14.860 Now, I think the art line is important there because if you are decorating with specific

01:50:19.420 things, there's a, there's something there.

01:50:22.080 So here's the, here's the point I just remembered.

01:50:24.380 It was on this.

01:50:25.640 Would Corey Ten Boom, should she be required to make a wedding cake for that man's wedding? 0.99

01:50:33.300 Should she be forced to participate in that man's wedding? 0.94

01:50:37.420 The answer is no.

01:50:38.960 Of course not.

01:50:39.520 Should she, as a Christian, reach the hand of fellowship and say, I forgive you?

01:50:44.880 Yes.

01:50:45.260 But should she be forced, especially when the Germans were in charge? 1.00

01:50:49.840 No.
