The Glenn Beck Program - 3⧸13⧸17 - Full Show

00:00:00.500 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:00:04.560 House Intel Committee has given Donald Trump until today a deadline today to show the evidence of wiretapping.

00:00:13.640 We should know today bank fees are about to rise to an all-time high.

00:00:19.620 Also, Turkey versus the Netherlands.

00:00:23.360 We're two years away from creating synthetic life.

00:00:27.160 And how would you feel if your friend died, but you could write to them and they would respond back so you could grieve together?

00:00:42.420 That's, I believe, a movie, but it's now reality with artificial intelligence.

00:00:50.380 We'll tell you about its first trial run.

00:00:53.680 That and more begins right now.

00:00:57.160 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand.

00:01:04.960 Because we are one. I will beat my drum. I have made my choice.

00:01:11.280 We will overcome. Because we are one.

00:01:15.260 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:01:19.440 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:23.000 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:30.260 The House Intel Committee has given Trump, until today, to make clear the evidence of wiretapping.

00:01:40.080 They feel that this is quite an important charge.

00:01:44.440 You accused the former president of wiretapping.

00:01:48.720 You wouldn't do that unless you had evidence.

00:01:52.720 Mark Levin said that the evidence was very clear.

00:01:56.480 I don't know if he has seen the evidence.

00:01:59.000 But the White House or the House Intel Committee has now said, give us, Mr. President, the evidence by Monday afternoon or we're not moving forward.

00:02:13.080 Because the White House said, here's what was happening.

00:02:17.640 We want somebody to investigate.

00:02:20.240 Congress said, you need to show us some evidence that this happened and we'll investigate.

00:02:25.920 It seems like every piece of news I read the last couple of days has been speculating on one spokesperson or another and the way they took this and the way.

00:02:37.000 And it's like, well, why bother with all that?

00:02:38.600 The deadline's today.

00:02:39.840 By tomorrow, you're going to know if the evidence is out, if they're continuing this or not.

00:02:43.940 So why bother parsing every word that Kellyanne Conway said in every interview she did?

00:02:49.960 Who cares?

00:02:50.900 The bottom line is that today's the deadline, right?

00:02:53.360 So we'll know by tomorrow.

00:02:54.680 We have Mike Lee on today, later on the show.

00:02:58.960 Do you know what committee is he on?

00:03:00.560 Is he on the Intel Committee?

00:03:03.040 Most of the guys don't want to be on Intel now.

00:03:06.000 Why is that?

00:03:06.840 Because it's a nasty trap.

00:03:10.620 They've told me that you don't necessarily learn anything new from that committee.

00:03:15.760 And if you're on it, you can't even talk about the subject because the laws are so, so dicey that they don't even want to talk about the subject.

00:03:26.120 And so it bars them from discussing anything.

00:03:29.040 Mike Lee, Joint Economic Committee, Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Committee on the Judiciary.

00:03:36.320 Okay, so he'll be able to talk about it without any information.

00:03:40.100 He's not doing enough.

00:03:41.480 I'd like to hear from him because they're saying that it takes one phone call for the president to say, hey, I need this information.

00:03:51.960 And he's the president.

00:03:53.000 I mean, is there any doubt that the president can get the information he needs to get?

00:03:58.980 Wouldn't think so.

00:04:01.320 Well, that sounds tough.

00:04:02.240 I just don't think there's evidence.

00:04:04.960 Otherwise, it would have been presented by now.

00:04:07.680 Right?

00:04:08.240 I mean, that's kind of where we are.

00:04:11.100 If there's evidence, then you give them the evidence.

00:04:13.420 Right.

00:04:13.860 And then you've proven it.

00:04:16.160 And then you don't have to worry about all the media that hates you saying things that aren't true.

00:04:21.980 Well, give them the evidence, and then that stops.

00:04:25.020 It's that easy.

00:04:26.000 Quite easy.

00:04:26.560 So I'm a little sketchy on the evidence portion of this.

00:04:32.580 Right.

00:04:32.760 But what I'm asking you is, is there any doubt in your mind that as president of the United States, if the evidence exists, that he can get it?

00:04:43.160 Oh, sure.

00:04:43.780 Yeah.

00:04:44.320 Yeah.

00:04:45.780 So we should know by tomorrow what the evidence is.

00:04:49.480 Did you also follow that Steve Bannon, and they're now calling Sean Hannity the third most powerful man in the world because of what happened on Friday?

00:05:02.920 They let all of the Justice Department attorneys, all the Obama attorneys go.

00:05:11.440 And that's not unusual.

00:05:12.780 They just usually do it over a longer period of time, you know, so we don't have an absence of attorneys.

00:05:19.400 And we have a really good attorney in Manhattan who is, you know, strong on, you know, the gangs and strong on the mob and Islamic terror. 0.98

00:05:33.960 And apparently he had met with Trump before and said, hey, I just want to know if my job is at stake or you're going to be renewing me.

00:05:41.800 And he left saying, I'm going to be renewed because of the feared leaks in the administration.

00:05:51.280 Apparently, Hannity and Bannon convinced Donald Trump to fire all political appointees, get them out right now.

00:06:02.440 So Friday was their last day.

00:06:04.180 They all just got a note saying, see ya.

00:06:06.760 Who knows, though?

00:06:07.540 I mean, that is the reporting I saw as well.

00:06:09.380 But I mean, you know, who who knows what that stuff?

00:06:11.800 Oh, I know the rumors of who's telling Trump X, Y.

00:06:15.100 Who knows if any of that is true?

00:06:16.820 Again, it's all this is what the media does these days.

00:06:19.220 They don't seem to investigate anything when it comes to a big, important issues to the American people.

00:06:25.600 It's all just this little back and forth inside the administration because they're so fascinated with it.

00:06:30.060 I mean, are the American people fascinated with it?

00:06:31.700 No, I'm not.

00:06:33.120 I don't care who's telling him.

00:06:34.640 Just let's see what he does when he does stuff.

00:06:37.440 Then we'll judge it on what happens rather than again.

00:06:40.400 It's constant speculation and backroom talking about these weird deals that are cut.

00:06:44.780 Who cares about any of that?

00:06:46.520 Let's just judge what he what he's done.

00:06:48.160 And as you point out, it has happened before.

00:06:50.380 It's a little more aggressive maybe than other administrations.

00:06:53.100 But that's not it's not as you know, it's not the most of all time.

00:06:56.560 And you'd expect it to be more aggressive from the Trump administration.

00:06:59.500 But it's not a huge it's not a huge deal, especially when you are getting leaks from somewhere.

00:07:08.100 You know, if I had leaks from some place in the organization didn't know, the first thing I would do is cut all the people that I didn't hire.

00:07:19.440 You know what I mean?

00:07:19.980 Yeah.

00:07:20.740 Yeah.

00:07:21.040 Let's get rid of all the people that, you know, might be leaking stuff.

00:07:25.120 Let's just get rid of them.

00:07:26.040 One one one area that might need a little attention is White House security.

00:07:32.160 Thank you.

00:07:32.820 Oh, my God.

00:07:33.760 Maybe that could is unbelievable.

00:07:35.560 This can get a little shoring off.

00:07:37.500 That's unbelievable.

00:07:38.580 I don't even understand how this is possible.

00:07:41.520 Another person made it to the south entrance of the White House with President Donald Trump inside.

00:07:48.740 OK, so not just made it to the south entrance, walked clear around the White House.

00:07:54.760 Right.

00:07:54.940 So we're not talking about the south entrance of the gate.

00:07:57.280 We're talking about the doorway.

00:07:59.760 Scale the fence.

00:08:00.300 Yeah.

00:08:00.600 Yes.

00:08:00.920 Went up to the side of the White House.

00:08:02.780 Right.

00:08:03.000 Went around the entire side of the White House all the way of the south entrance of the White House,

00:08:08.100 got all the way up to the door.

00:08:09.340 And that's when they saw him.

00:08:09.980 How can that happen?

00:08:11.200 That couldn't happen at your house.

00:08:12.660 How does that happen at the White House?

00:08:14.040 We had a guy about, what, two years ago jump our fence in the middle of the night,

00:08:21.280 and he just happened to luck into a blind spot and kind of just walked.

00:08:30.000 It got to our garage before getting caught, but he walked by the fence in this blind spot.

00:08:36.780 The very next day, we were out with security going, OK, where are the blind spots?

00:08:46.180 Let's get, I want no blind spots.

00:08:48.660 When you have a problem with security and you're in a high security environment,

00:08:51.680 you address those concerns immediately.

00:08:53.200 We don't have blind spots anymore.

00:08:55.680 How does the Secret Service have so many people making it all the way to the residence?

00:09:04.080 They just must not have sensors.

00:09:05.340 Do they not have sensors?

00:09:06.360 Of course they do.

00:09:07.360 How are they not catching these guys then?

00:09:09.100 I have no idea.

00:09:10.140 You've got that guy who jumped the fence last year or the year before

00:09:12.660 and ran all the way into the White House.

00:09:15.120 He caught him inside the White House.

00:09:16.500 Stu, do you remember being at Kenny Bunkport?

00:09:18.940 And do you remember seeing those green, like, tube things coming out of the ground?

00:09:24.820 Yeah.

00:09:25.260 They were about a foot and a half high.

00:09:27.120 We went to interview George H.W. Bush.

00:09:29.960 This is many years ago.

00:09:30.780 Okay.

00:09:31.180 And so they had on one side, he lives out on a point.

00:09:35.980 And on one side, they had a big fence.

00:09:38.480 Remember that?

00:09:39.040 Behind the house, they had this huge double fence, razor wire.

00:09:42.520 I mean, it looked pretty nasty, but it was kind of hidden.

00:09:46.180 The other side, they always had a boat out because, remember, at the time, Saddam Hussein was threatening to kill George H.W. Bush.

00:09:55.080 So they always had a boat out there.

00:09:57.300 And on the residence, they had the gates and everything else.

00:10:00.360 And on the residence, all throughout the lawn were these green pipes that were about a foot, foot and a half high.

00:10:06.580 And I asked, what are those?

00:10:09.360 And they said that they were vibration or some sort of sensor that could sense that people were walking across the lawn at that point.

00:10:22.260 How long ago was that, though, Glenn?

00:10:24.160 I don't think they make those anymore.

00:10:26.160 I mean, I think those minutes continued.

00:10:28.240 That's in a former president's house.

00:10:32.980 And also, how do we not have...

00:10:35.800 It's unbelievable.

00:10:37.080 It's like close to the road.

00:10:38.960 You wouldn't have a lot of time to react to the sensors on that lawn.

00:10:43.920 You do on the White House.

00:10:45.680 I mean, this guy was just strolling around.

00:10:48.460 We have...

00:10:49.040 It's crazy.

00:10:49.460 It just didn't...

00:10:50.040 Are there not snipers?

00:10:51.160 Are there...

00:10:51.740 I thought there were.

00:10:52.460 We always thought...

00:10:53.100 I always thought there were.

00:10:54.000 I thought they extended the height of the fence as well.

00:10:56.780 I mean, I always thought if you joked that fence, you're going to be dead.

00:10:59.680 Right.

00:11:00.100 Or you're just going to shoot.

00:11:00.780 Here's the problem.

00:11:02.840 They're not going to do that.

00:11:04.200 No, they're not.

00:11:04.700 Because you shoot somebody.

00:11:06.600 What if he's mentally ill?

00:11:08.420 Right.

00:11:08.600 Which seems like this guy was, by the way.

00:11:09.980 Right.

00:11:10.420 You don't want to...

00:11:11.580 The Secret Service do not want to be shooting.

00:11:13.820 But you have somebody up at the top of that...

00:11:16.020 No, you don't even need that.

00:11:18.500 You have...

00:11:19.180 We have motions.

00:11:20.440 I do.

00:11:21.640 I'm not the president.

00:11:23.180 We have motion sensors.

00:11:24.960 A dog starts walking across our lawn.

00:11:28.320 All the cameras sweep to him.

00:11:31.360 Audio turns on so I can hear the...

00:11:35.300 No matter where they are.

00:11:38.440 I mean, that's what I have.

00:11:40.820 The president has got to have that.

00:11:44.180 Is somebody sleeping...

00:11:45.440 I don't think he does.

00:11:46.540 ...at the command center?

00:11:47.440 I think so.

00:11:48.260 I mean, the way this was reported originally is that they stumbled on this guy, right?

00:11:52.180 I mean, it was like the Secret Service came out for a smoke and went, hey, what are you

00:11:55.820 doing here?

00:11:56.780 That's crazy.

00:11:57.580 And he had a backpack.

00:11:58.940 Yeah.

00:11:59.160 I will say, however, he did say he was a friend of the president and had an appointment.

00:12:02.460 So, you know, maybe he set that up in advance with Donald and was like, I'll meet you at

00:12:08.780 the south entrance maybe around midnight and we'll chat.

00:12:14.140 So maybe the lesson we're supposed to learn, no matter how big you build a fence or a wall,

00:12:18.140 they'll still get over it?

00:12:19.100 Is that what it...

00:12:19.700 Ooh.

00:12:20.500 Well, I mean, look, that's plainly true, obviously.

00:12:23.020 But I mean, you know, it still can help.

00:12:25.060 I don't...

00:12:26.300 I really don't understand.

00:12:28.880 I've said this under the Obama administration.

00:12:32.220 This has been going on for a while.

00:12:32.660 This started under Bush.

00:12:34.600 It was pretty good under Bush, but it started a little bit towards the end.

00:12:37.320 It was much worse under Obama because we had those people who crashed the party.

00:12:42.160 Right.

00:12:42.400 And I think there was a combination of something's wrong with the Secret Service.

00:12:47.200 Yeah.

00:12:47.400 And the Obama administration just would write off the Secret Service.

00:12:53.160 They'd be like, whatever, we're doing that.

00:12:54.560 Remember, that's how they crashed the party.

00:12:56.580 Somebody said, look the other way.

00:12:58.520 They're coming in.

00:12:59.600 So you had that combination.

00:13:01.680 I hope that Donald Trump and his administration is not doing that.

00:13:06.280 But this is not a case of that anyway.

00:13:08.500 This is the case of the Secret Service.

00:13:10.740 We will pay what...

00:13:12.720 The American people are not going to kick up a fuss.

00:13:17.060 Hey, I'm not paying another $5,000 for more censors on the White House lawn.

00:13:20.780 Nobody's going to say that.

00:13:21.480 Nobody's going to say that.

00:13:22.240 Nobody's going to say that.

00:13:23.320 And you don't have to shoot the guy.

00:13:25.260 All you need are the censors to show that somebody is there.

00:13:28.840 Or the manpower to show that someone is walking across the lawn or running across the lawn.

00:13:36.160 And then you go out and you tackle him.

00:13:39.240 Yeah.

00:13:39.640 How hard is that?

00:13:40.620 Right.

00:13:41.240 About 10 feet from the fence is where he should be tackled.

00:13:44.220 How about this?

00:13:44.840 Because you just have dogs in the White House.

00:13:49.840 You just have...

00:13:50.660 Just let the German shepherds... 0.97

00:13:52.440 Well, they do have dogs.

00:13:54.160 Right.

00:13:54.800 But they should just be out on the lawn all the time, apparently.

00:13:56.960 Yeah.

00:13:57.200 Just let the German shepherds go.

00:13:59.240 Now, the problem with that is, you know, the last thing you want is a barking German shepherd

00:14:03.600 on the other side of a fence.

00:14:05.940 I mean, that'll look like, you know, Nazi Germany.

00:14:07.820 But that's the reason, right?

00:14:08.960 The reason why there's not a hundred Secret Service agents out on the lawn all the time

00:14:14.820 is because they want it to look nice.

00:14:16.580 Right?

00:14:16.960 There's no rational reason why that's protected other than just optics.

00:14:21.600 People want to look at the White House and not see an army on the back lawn.

00:14:25.180 And I understand that.

00:14:26.640 However, that's how important security is, right?

00:14:30.340 Like, that is actually the correct response here.

00:14:32.600 Think about this.

00:14:33.120 This guy had a backpack.

00:14:34.420 In it, he had a Trump book and some other nonsense.

00:14:37.620 But some mace.

00:14:39.320 So, I mean, you know...

00:14:40.180 You know, but I mean, not something he could have killed a lot of people with.

00:14:43.640 However, there's no security check to get up to the fence at the White House.

00:14:48.620 He could have had a massively powerful bomb.

00:14:51.680 He could have been carrying a suicide vest very easily.

00:14:56.060 And he could have, as he's walked along the side of the White House,

00:15:00.880 blown himself up right next to it and taken out a chunk of that building.

00:15:05.240 Yeah.

00:15:05.660 Easily.

00:15:06.240 Yeah.

00:15:06.680 Easily.

00:15:08.280 And again...

00:15:09.160 Because he was right there.

00:15:09.980 He was right there.

00:15:10.360 Is there a more secure building than the White House when the president is in it?

00:15:15.620 You'd think not.

00:15:16.600 You'd think not.

00:15:17.740 But apparently so.

00:15:18.760 Apparently, yes.

00:15:19.480 Obviously.

00:15:20.340 You know, I mean, apparently the answer to that is absolutely there are more secure buildings.

00:15:23.740 Apparently my house is more secure.

00:15:26.020 All right.

00:15:27.420 Sponsor of this half hour is ProFlowers.

00:15:29.340 They have come up with the ultimate solution to ensure that you remember the dates that matter.

00:15:35.120 Your anniversary.

00:15:36.640 Your wife's birthday.

00:15:38.680 Your kid's birthday.

00:15:40.760 The first...

00:15:41.960 Oh, this is the day we met.

00:15:44.320 Oh, yeah.

00:17:18.580 Movies this weekend.

00:17:21.060 Shaq was number four.

00:17:22.700 Get Out was number three.

00:17:24.140 Logan was number two.

00:17:26.500 Yeah.

00:17:27.080 Kong, number one.

00:17:28.860 Yeah, $61 million.

00:17:30.120 That cost $185 million to make.

00:17:32.340 My kids went to it.

00:17:34.480 Hannah and Tim.

00:17:35.480 They said it was fantastic.

00:17:38.160 They went on a date night and said it was just fantastic.

00:17:42.080 They said it was really fun, funny.

00:17:44.480 They said it was the perfect kind of monster movie.

00:17:47.520 Didn't take itself too seriously, but did take itself seriously.

00:17:51.000 I mean, it was serious enough to be I am Kong, but then, you know, right, I know it's a giant monkey.

00:17:58.820 Right.

00:17:59.860 Made by the same people, I guess, who did Godzilla. 0.88

00:18:02.360 And it was the same vibe of that, which I like that one.

00:18:04.980 I love that one.

00:18:05.680 So now they're, if you stay through the titles, I'm going to go see it tonight.

00:18:10.900 But if you stay through the titles, they show the next one.

00:18:14.680 And I guess it's, I don't know, is it Mothra?

00:18:17.340 Who are the...

00:18:19.540 So they're building toward a battle with another massive monster.

00:18:23.480 With another master.

00:18:24.020 And then the 2020, the film after this, is Godzilla and King Kong.

00:18:29.720 We've become the 1970s Japanese.

00:18:31.780 We sure have.

00:18:32.760 No, we are not.

00:18:34.860 No, we are not.

00:18:36.180 We're at least doing good movies that are monster movies about giant monkeys.

00:18:41.200 Right.

00:18:41.720 And lizards.

00:18:42.140 You needed that extra qualifier.

00:18:45.100 Yeah, I did.

00:18:46.020 I mean, you know, but those were not good movies.

00:18:49.480 I mean...

00:18:49.760 No, they were not.

00:18:50.560 They were not.

00:18:51.100 They were fun to watch on Saturday afternoons, though.

00:18:53.020 Yeah, I still love to watch them.

00:18:55.880 I'll never forget that.

00:18:56.940 I can't duplicate that.

00:18:57.960 I know.

00:18:58.520 I can't replicate that sound, but the sound that Godzilla made...

00:19:02.280 Yeah, it was so good.

00:19:05.440 It was so good.

00:19:07.380 Was it a parrot?

00:19:08.400 I thought it was a giant lizard.

00:19:10.220 I know, but in the Godzilla movie.

00:19:12.140 Godzilla with a cracker.

00:19:13.340 But in Godzilla, it still made that sound.

00:19:15.740 It did.

00:19:16.560 All the same.

00:19:17.620 Yeah.

00:19:18.240 People moving their lips at 8,000 miles an hour with, yes.

00:19:23.300 That's the thing I noticed.

00:19:24.600 I was like, man, there's too many words to learn in Japanese.

00:19:28.660 Way too many words.

00:19:30.480 Economy of words, guys.

00:19:32.920 Yeah, no, that one actually looks funny.

00:19:35.000 John C. Reilly's in it.

00:19:36.100 Isn't Samuel L. Jackson in it as well?

00:19:37.820 Did you hear the Samuel L. Jackson comments about Get Out?

00:19:42.300 No.

00:19:42.640 Did you hear this?

00:19:43.600 He said...

00:19:44.680 I tend not to listen to him.

00:19:45.620 Yeah, he said he was disturbed at how many black British actors were getting black American

00:19:51.220 actors' jobs.

00:19:52.940 What?

00:19:53.540 Yeah.

00:19:53.980 Look around to a lot of other shows.

00:19:55.860 Oh, man.

00:19:56.280 Samuel.

00:19:57.040 There's a lot of British actors.

00:19:57.860 A lot of white.

00:19:59.240 British actors that Americans get losing jobs to British.

00:20:02.660 So he's becoming a nationalist himself.

00:20:05.460 Apparently.

00:20:06.540 Good for him.

00:20:07.440 They can't understand the black experience of Americans because they didn't go through 1.00

00:20:10.640 it.

00:20:10.960 Ah.

00:20:11.300 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:16.240 Mercury.

00:20:20.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:22.480 Hello, and welcome back to the program.

00:20:28.720 Can you tell me about Get Out?

00:20:31.640 I mean, is it Key and Peele, or just...

00:20:35.200 I think it's just Peele.

00:20:36.400 Peele directed it, I believe.

00:20:37.860 Right.

00:20:38.700 And wrote it.

00:20:40.180 Yeah, it's a movie.

00:20:40.680 So does it...

00:20:41.320 I mean, those guys are razor-edge funny.

00:20:46.120 Yeah.

00:20:46.820 I mean, it's not a comedy, but there are funny parts in it, and very violent parts, and scary

00:20:54.000 parts, and parts where the whole audience sort of cheers.

00:20:58.420 But yeah, it was really well done, and...

00:21:01.280 So, as I'm watching it, and this is what kills me, is as I'm watching the preview of

00:21:07.600 it, I think, of course, the white family trying to... 0.74

00:21:13.220 Right.

00:21:13.620 You know.

00:21:14.620 But from what I understand, they're a very liberal family that's doing this.

00:21:19.040 Yeah.

00:21:19.120 Yes.

00:21:20.640 Don't they brag about voting for Obama?

00:21:23.160 They would have voted for him a third time.

00:21:24.580 A third term.

00:21:25.400 Yeah, they would have voted for him for a third term.

00:21:27.560 They make a big deal out of that at the beginning.

00:21:29.620 And you kind of get the sense that, like, one of the underlying...

00:21:32.220 And I have no idea what their politics are.

00:21:34.720 I'm sure it's not, you know, obviously conservative, but it does seem like there's an air in there

00:21:40.940 of, like, mocking liberals who think they're above all racism.

00:21:46.220 They're not racist just because they voted for Obama.

00:21:48.380 Right.

00:21:48.700 It's that sort of thing.

00:21:49.860 Yeah.

00:21:50.440 Oh, well, they're not racist because they...

00:21:51.980 Well, this family is racist, and they're going after black people.

00:21:55.560 Have you seen it yet?

00:21:57.040 Yeah.

00:21:57.180 Yeah.

00:21:57.620 So has it...

00:21:58.580 Am I going to be lectured about race, or is this just a good movie?

00:22:05.220 No, you're not going to be...

00:22:06.740 No, you're not going to be...

00:22:08.020 I mean, you've got to go into...

00:22:08.840 You understand what the movie is, and this is in every trailer.

00:22:11.900 It's a white family that is, as we just talked about, liberal family that, you know,

00:22:17.800 targets black people for violence.

00:22:21.000 That's as far as I want to go with the plot.

00:22:22.920 Right.

00:22:23.120 But, so, spoiler of what I just said earlier.

00:22:28.040 I'm not sure which...

00:22:29.640 Yeah, you didn't say that to me, but yes, I would definitely not talk about that.

00:22:34.860 Okay.

00:22:35.100 Didn't Samuel L. Jackson say something about it?

00:22:37.560 He was upset over the movie, or something was wrong with it?

00:22:41.280 Yeah.

00:22:41.520 What was his deal with it?

00:22:42.340 Yeah, that's what we were talking about.

00:22:43.620 Yeah, he's saying that he's upset that British actors are taking...

00:22:51.500 British...

00:22:52.280 British...

00:22:53.000 Wait, wait.

00:22:54.300 He's pissed that a black British actor...

00:22:56.520 African British... 0.82

00:22:57.840 Are taking African American actors' parts.

00:22:59.600 Are taking African American. 1.00

00:23:01.340 I don't think African British is a thing, but...

00:23:04.500 Oh, yes.

00:23:05.460 Yeah, well, they're not African American over there.

00:23:07.940 No, I know.

00:23:08.580 Well, you can't be African American. 1.00

00:23:09.720 That would make a lot of sense.

00:23:10.460 No, they're smart.

00:23:10.860 They just call them black.

00:23:12.100 Yeah.

00:23:12.800 And they call us white.

00:23:15.020 And we just leave it at that.

00:23:16.480 What is the deal with all these British actors taking American actor parts?

00:23:19.540 Stop it.

00:23:19.940 Don't, don't, don't.

00:23:20.500 What is the deal with that?

00:23:21.140 Well, that was Samuel L. Jackson's point.

00:23:22.760 Yeah.

00:23:23.240 I think he's on to something.

00:23:24.520 Yeah, he is on to something.

00:23:25.500 And it happens to white people, too, by the way, Samuel.

00:23:28.040 Stop it.

00:23:28.500 The Walking Dead is loaded with British actors who are playing American parts.

00:23:32.480 I believe they're Australian.

00:23:35.660 Is Rick Australian or British?

00:23:37.960 Well, Jeffy would know.

00:23:38.720 He hosts a podcast called Talking Walking Dead.

00:23:41.080 I would assume he would know this information.

00:23:42.700 Jeffy?

00:23:44.120 You don't know.

00:23:45.320 I want to say that.

00:23:46.180 I'm almost positive he's British, but I don't know.

00:23:48.320 Look it up real quick.

00:23:49.200 I think he's Australian.

00:23:49.940 The one thing you're supposed to have expertise on, you know, this is your podcast.

00:23:54.340 Yeah, but, okay, first of all, it goes to what you were saying, Mr. Beck, because I don't care.

00:23:58.840 Oh, no, you were just in with him.

00:24:00.740 I know.

00:24:01.320 It's happening a lot, right?

00:24:02.580 It does happen all over.

00:24:04.160 But if you don't care, then why?

00:24:05.620 And still, I admit that it's happening.

00:24:09.140 I don't care that it does.

00:24:10.300 He is an English actor.

00:24:12.940 English?

00:24:13.460 Andrew Lincoln.

00:24:14.420 English.

00:24:15.120 He's from Great Britain.

00:24:16.120 I think what's happening here is Merritt.

00:24:18.980 They're good actors, and they fit their role up.

00:24:20.900 They're good actors.

00:24:21.280 That's all.

00:24:21.580 I mean, aren't there enough good actors in America to fill these roles, though?

00:24:24.740 Why is this happening?

00:24:25.720 I've heard you say, and I didn't say anything at the time, because, I don't know, it wasn't important.

00:24:30.800 But I've heard you say, I mean, I love it.

00:24:35.340 And then I watched them in an interview, and they've got this British actor.

00:24:39.140 It's pretty agonizing.

00:24:40.320 It is.

00:24:41.280 It is frustrating.

00:24:41.740 Why is it agonizing?

00:24:42.660 It is frustrating.

00:24:44.120 It's just frustrating.

00:24:45.140 It's okay.

00:24:46.880 I'm more impressed by them when I see that.

00:24:48.820 I'm like, oh, House was good.

00:24:50.520 House was definitely that way.

00:24:51.660 And you see this guy, and you've known him as this American doctor for so long.

00:24:54.840 And then you see an interview with him, and I'm like, God, this guy completely.

00:24:57.560 I mean, it's like taking on a totally different additional challenge to the acting.

00:25:01.080 It's like me going over to the BBC.

00:25:03.060 I mean, it would take, you know, about 10 seconds before everybody would go, well, he's an American.

00:25:08.120 Right.

00:25:09.660 Hello, gov.

00:25:11.700 All right.

00:25:13.640 I mean, if they can pull it off.

00:25:15.200 I mean, I don't know if you guys know this, but it's a story that has zombies in it.

00:25:21.920 It's not.

00:25:23.960 I mean, it's.

00:25:25.820 He was fighting for America.

00:25:28.380 There's zombies.

00:25:29.340 It takes place here in America.

00:25:30.840 It takes place in America.

00:25:32.220 Right.

00:25:33.100 These are American people.

00:25:35.600 These are American walkers. 1.00

00:25:37.340 I mean, zombies that they're killing.

00:25:39.580 Right.

00:25:40.260 Right.

00:25:41.040 Here's the specific complaint from Samuel L. Jackson, because his has a racial component.

00:25:45.200 He says he has trouble with a British actor playing an American man grappling with a very

00:25:50.500 specifically American type of racism, which is bizarre when you see the movie.

00:25:55.100 It's not exactly specifically American, but American type of racism.

00:25:59.080 Quote, pisses me off.

00:26:00.260 I tend to wonder what would the movie have been with an American brother in the lead?

00:26:06.440 Oh, my God.

00:26:06.980 Who really understands that in a way.

00:26:09.380 Because Daniel grew up in a country where, you know, there's been interracially dating

00:26:13.360 for a hundred years.

00:26:14.480 So what would a brother from America have made of that role?

00:26:17.340 You know what?

00:26:17.780 There's also scant few, scant little diversity in England.

00:26:23.060 I mean, come on.

00:26:24.080 Can we can we wake up and realize that this is the greatest country on Earth racially, economically,

00:26:30.340 militarily and culturally in every way?

00:26:33.220 We deal with more stuff in a better way than the rest of the world combined.

00:26:38.460 By the way, they don't have the diversity we have.

00:26:40.580 By the way, would somebody would somebody three, three percent see when somebody check

00:26:44.800 on these numbers?

00:26:46.360 I heard somebody say this weekend that there are more people, more black people have immigrated

00:26:54.180 to the United States than than the right here by the slave trade. 0.93

00:27:01.040 Oh, yeah, that's true.

00:27:01.720 I mean, if we're so horrible.

00:27:04.180 Yeah.

00:27:04.480 Why would you come here?

00:27:06.960 Yeah.

00:27:07.140 I mean, if we're so horrible.

00:27:08.480 Yes, we have horrible things that have happened in our past and we're not perfect.

00:27:13.720 We are the most diverse country on planet Earth by far.

00:27:19.100 It's not even it's not even close.

00:27:20.640 We have people coming from one hundred and seventy five different countries and we're all

00:27:24.880 living together on top of each other in some cases.

00:27:28.560 Relax.

00:27:29.360 We're doing a pretty good job.

00:27:32.060 I wouldn't just keep on trying to improve.

00:27:33.940 We've seen dramatic improvement in a very short period of time, probably fast.

00:27:38.480 And then we take ten steps back by having British actors play zombie killers.

00:27:43.340 Thank you.

00:27:44.440 That's what Jeffy and I are saying.

00:27:46.120 That's right.

00:27:46.940 No, I get it.

00:27:48.300 I get it.

00:27:49.480 And you know what?

00:27:51.140 CGI took the job of that little Japanese guy that used to get into the suit for monkey 1.00

00:27:56.720 suit and the lizard suit.

00:27:58.720 Right.

00:27:58.940 I used to be a Japanese guy.

00:28:00.680 Because this Kong is way too tall.

00:28:02.060 Right.

00:28:02.540 He's what is he?

00:28:03.900 A hundred feet tall?

00:28:05.500 Yeah.

00:28:05.740 He seems like he's taller than a lot of mountains in the general area.

00:28:08.840 Have you seen it?

00:28:09.440 No.

00:28:09.800 I just saw the previous.

00:28:10.360 So, you know, one of the problems that I had with, you know, setting Kong today is

00:28:14.840 it's supposed to be on an island that's hidden by clouds and everything else.

00:28:19.440 And I thought my kids came back and I said, OK, so how did they solve the lost island thing

00:28:27.020 with satellites everywhere?

00:28:29.000 They set it back at the end of the Vietnam War.

00:28:32.840 So satellites were just going up.

00:28:35.280 So that's how they found it is from a satellite.

00:28:38.880 So, I mean, it's like they're actually trying to get it right.

00:28:42.920 It is it is ruining movie.

00:28:45.740 We're never going to have another movie like that's set past 1975.

00:28:50.500 Technology is ruining all these movies because like you see that same thing with like cell

00:28:54.420 phones and all the plots.

00:28:57.120 Someone just posted something recently of all the plots of Seinfeld that would be ruined

00:29:00.980 if cell phones were common.

00:29:02.320 Right.

00:29:02.760 And it was like a dozen episodes that are, you know, classics that would no longer exist

00:29:07.980 because it wouldn't make any sense.

00:29:09.600 You know, people just get on the phone and do it, you know.

00:29:12.280 And that's just basics.

00:29:13.680 I mean, and you go to you to you really with all the spy stuff we're talking about last

00:29:17.660 week, they can turn on your televisions to spy on you in your homes.

00:29:20.900 These movies are all going to be absurd.

00:29:22.960 Try this.

00:29:23.440 Try this on for size.

00:29:24.440 Think about when Kong first came out.

00:29:27.500 When did we first discover Tyrannosaurus Rex?

00:29:34.100 1880s, 1890s?

00:29:36.640 I don't know.

00:29:37.220 It wasn't in the 1980s till we figured out they all died from asteroids until the next thing

00:29:41.480 we find out that they died from.

00:29:42.700 Right.

00:29:42.920 Well, global warming.

00:29:44.100 But find out when we first discovered here in the United States.

00:29:48.340 Now, think of this.

00:29:50.520 30 years before and you don't have satellites.

00:29:53.540 You still are exploring the world.

00:29:55.720 There's half of the world that really hasn't.

00:29:58.200 You know, these islands are everywhere.

00:30:00.000 We're finding new things all the time.

00:30:02.520 Then, you know, you find the Galapagos Islands, which you had no idea that this this land that

00:30:11.520 time forgot.

00:30:12.340 Then you find dinosaur bones in America.

00:30:16.480 It wasn't that hard to believe, I think, that there might be an island somewhere in America

00:30:23.460 where these giant monkeys could live.

00:30:26.060 Somewhere in the world.

00:30:26.960 Yeah.

00:30:27.240 Somewhere in the world where that you don't know there.

00:30:30.120 We just found the bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

00:30:33.920 We didn't even know lived on this continent, let alone lived just a few years ago.

00:30:39.260 Well, I mean, not only that, I mean, we still haven't exactly pinpointed where Bigfoot is from.

00:30:46.380 Okay.

00:30:46.980 Thank you for that.

00:30:47.780 All right.

00:30:48.160 Right.

00:30:48.740 Right.

00:30:49.300 So, I mean, he could still be out there.

00:30:51.720 Bigfoot probably played by a British actor, too.

00:30:54.220 Right.

00:30:54.880 So, that's trouble.

00:30:57.760 Here's our sponsor this F-Hour.

00:30:59.200 It's LifeLock.

00:31:00.600 Do you use the same password for multiple web accounts?

00:31:06.000 My wife's mother is in town.

00:31:09.320 And I would not say she's technology friendly.

00:31:13.200 So, we went through all of her accounts.

00:31:16.000 She knows.

00:31:17.100 She had to get a new phone.

00:31:18.420 None of her passwords.

00:31:19.460 None of the passwords.

00:31:20.500 The whole weekend.

00:31:22.220 Resetting passwords.

00:31:22.420 Trying to resetting our password.

00:31:23.960 I'm like, you know what?

00:31:24.920 The worst advice I could give you is to make the same password for every one of these accounts,

00:31:29.120 but make the same password for every one of these accounts.

00:31:32.340 That's so funny.

00:31:32.960 I don't care what it is.

00:31:36.160 It's not your banking information.

00:31:37.780 Just make it the same.

00:31:39.600 But so many people do that even when they're, you know...

00:31:42.920 Sure do.

00:31:43.580 I mean, it doesn't even matter.

00:31:44.940 They just do it because they...

00:31:46.180 I can't remember multiple passwords.

00:31:48.100 And then one of these sites gets hacked.

00:31:50.900 That password goes out.

00:31:51.920 And what these hackers do is they go to every...

00:31:54.200 They go to Gmail.

00:31:55.900 They go to Yahoo.

00:31:57.120 They go everywhere you can.

00:31:58.160 And then they just put that same password in, assuming it's the same.

00:32:00.460 And they get into everything.

00:32:01.200 Yeah.

00:32:01.800 It's one of the reasons why identity theft is so powerful.

00:32:06.340 When they can find somebody like your mother...

00:32:10.800 Mother-in-law.

00:32:11.200 Mother-in-law.

00:32:13.320 They got her.

00:32:14.740 They got her.

00:32:16.820 LifeLock scans hundreds of millions of transactions every second.

00:32:19.960 And if they detect that your information is being used, they'll send you an alert.

00:32:23.260 And if you have a problem, a U.S.-based agent's going to work to fix it.

00:32:26.600 Now, nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.

00:32:31.240 But LifeLock is the best identity theft protection available.

00:32:56.600 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:33:01.900 You guys follow what happened with Turkey and the Netherlands?

00:33:06.580 If I tell you, I was over in...

00:33:07.820 Oh, yeah.

00:33:08.420 I was over in Thailand and I was watching the news over there.

00:33:13.020 It's totally different.

00:33:15.340 I mean, American news is just not the same.

00:33:18.620 Well, yeah, because they have the freedom as government-run news agencies to go ahead and

00:33:25.480 tell the truth.

00:33:26.060 The first thing that jumps out at you is they're speaking some stupid language that you don't... 0.82

00:33:32.540 They talk gibberish.

00:33:33.360 I know.

00:33:33.740 It's weird.

00:33:34.840 Speak English, man.

00:33:35.880 How does anybody even understand this?

00:33:37.440 Right.

00:33:38.080 Right.

00:33:39.200 It's deep.

00:33:39.840 That's a deep analysis.

00:33:40.740 That's all I...

00:33:41.440 That's all I say.

00:33:42.160 So, but I was watching it and they led...

00:33:46.340 This is, what, two weeks ago.

00:33:47.640 They were leading with what was happening in Turkey and this referendum for Erdogan gaining

00:33:54.180 more power.

00:33:55.040 And there is just this march towards fascism.

00:33:58.720 So, Erdogan's trying to stir up support back home.

00:34:02.600 And so now he's going on a world tour and he was in Germany and he was not...

00:34:07.300 He wasn't.

00:34:07.880 He sent the foreign minister to go speak in Germany to all of the Islamic communities from

00:34:15.180 Turkey that have immigrated up to Turkey and got them all jacked up on basically fascism. 0.96

00:34:24.440 He tried to go to the Netherlands and the Netherlands turned the plane around because they said we

00:34:30.540 are not going to allow anybody who's going to try to, you know, hype people up on fascism

00:34:35.320 into the Netherlands.

00:34:36.680 And so they turned his plane around.

00:34:38.600 He lands someplace else, gets into a car and tries to get across the border.

00:34:46.420 They stop him at the border.

00:34:48.540 He's in a bulletproof car.

00:34:50.040 So he just locks all the doors and he's like, I'm not getting out.

00:34:52.640 They're like, sir, you got to get out of the car.

00:34:54.880 I'm not getting out.

00:34:56.580 And they said, well, if you don't get out, we're just going to tow your car with you in

00:35:00.340 it.

00:35:00.860 So he got out.

00:35:03.120 They put him on a plane and sent him back to Turkey.

00:35:05.880 And Erdogan said, try landing some of your Dutch planes.

00:35:10.640 Go ahead.

00:35:11.200 Try to land some of those planes from the Netherlands.

00:35:13.260 Let's see how this is going to work out.

00:35:14.940 So now we have two NATO countries that are at each other's throats.

00:35:20.520 That doesn't seem ideal.

00:35:21.760 It does not seem ideal.

00:35:23.040 It really doesn't.

00:35:23.940 It doesn't seem ideal.

00:35:25.580 No.

00:35:25.780 Who was it that let Turkey in in the first place? 1.00

00:35:29.620 Yeah, that's a sketchy decision.

00:35:31.680 Was that George Bush?

00:35:32.440 I can't remember how long.

00:35:35.060 It might have been.

00:35:37.320 It might have been.

00:35:38.640 Well, we're on this international turmoil.

00:35:40.520 The guy from Jordan that killed seven Israeli girls 20 years ago.

00:35:46.300 Kids.

00:35:46.920 Kids.

00:35:47.340 Yeah.

00:35:48.940 Released.

00:35:49.640 They released him a little earlier than expected by a few days because they wanted to minimize

00:35:54.140 the celebrations.

00:35:55.380 Is he Palestinian?

00:35:56.340 He is.

00:35:56.700 Well, he's Jordanian, I believe.

00:35:57.840 But he's being he's received as a hero because he killed Jordan or in Jordan because he killed

00:36:03.900 these seven seven Israeli girls.

00:36:06.540 And I will say that they did it was, you know, was it justified?

00:36:10.560 I mean, I don't know.

00:36:11.220 They were reportedly mocking him.

00:36:14.760 So, you know, I mean, I don't know.

00:36:16.380 Do you get to kill the seven children over that?

00:36:19.440 I don't know.

00:36:19.920 It's a close call.

00:36:21.460 But Jordan says yes, apparently.

00:36:23.340 And I guess this is one of those things where, you know.

00:36:25.120 Well, Jordan said no, but some Jordanians say many Jordanians say say yes.

00:36:31.060 And but however, the king, the previous king, this is right after Israel and Jordan kind 0.54

00:36:37.540 of had a coming together and it looked like they were optimistic for the future.

00:36:41.020 Then, of course, this guy does this.

00:36:42.580 The king went and actually consoled the Israeli families.

00:36:45.280 And what was a big moment at the time, then 20 years later, I mean, again, yeah, another

00:36:51.340 two decades lost to this thing.

00:36:53.200 I mean, no improvement.

00:36:54.580 And now this guy who's murdered seven children goes to jail for 20 years and is released as

00:36:59.800 a hero in his own country.

00:37:01.520 Incredible.

00:37:01.920 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:17.260 Mercury.

00:37:31.920 This is the Blaze Radio On Demand.

00:37:36.520 Hello, America.

00:37:37.980 Health care bill.

00:37:39.980 The Freedom Caucus.

00:37:41.920 Mike Lee is going to be on in just a little while.

00:37:44.920 Also, Colin Moriarty is going to be joining us, co-founder of kindoffunny.com.

00:37:50.840 Saw an interesting interview with him.

00:37:52.500 There's a new, there's actually three new studies out that suggest that your decisions are not

00:38:00.980 just about reasoning anymore.

00:38:04.180 And we are within two years of creating synthetic life.

00:38:09.380 Are you ready for the future?

00:38:12.840 All that and much more begins right now.

00:38:15.140 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:38:37.960 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:38:41.420 Uh, wrap your head in duct tape because it is absolutely going to explode when you hear

00:38:54.080 Nancy Pelosi this weekend say this.

00:38:58.840 Uh, well, she wrote Paul Ryan a letter, first of all, and she, in it, she said the American

00:39:05.040 people and members of Congress have a right to know the full impact of this legislation

00:39:10.980 before any vote in committee or by the whole house.

00:39:14.920 Huh.

00:39:15.520 Uh, wait, can we, can we go on the time tunnel here for just a second?

00:39:20.120 I just, uh-huh.

00:39:20.800 Time tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel, tunnel.

00:39:23.900 But we have to pass the bill so that you can, uh, find out what is in it.

00:39:29.220 Wait.

00:39:29.720 Away from the fog of the controversy.

00:39:32.540 Wait, wait.

00:39:33.880 We have to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it.

00:39:38.560 Yeah.

00:39:38.840 And now she's demanding that the American people have a right to know what's in the

00:39:42.600 bill before it passes.

00:39:44.580 I'm going to be consistent here and say, I thought we should have known what was in it

00:39:48.920 the first time.

00:39:50.000 I think we should know what it's in it this time before they pass it.

00:39:54.000 I'm going to go a step further.

00:39:55.780 I think the people voting for it should actually know what's in it as well.

00:40:00.520 Yeah.

00:40:00.640 There was also this from the gate.

00:40:02.380 The gate's closed.

00:40:03.260 We'll go over the fence.

00:40:04.160 The fence is too high.

00:40:05.180 We'll pull vault in.

00:40:06.320 If that doesn't work, we'll parachute in.

00:40:08.260 But we're going to get health care reform passed for the American people.

00:40:13.040 Hang on.

00:40:13.480 Could you show me what Cory Booker said over the weekend?

00:40:17.500 The Republicans cannot just force this down our throats.

00:40:20.320 It's going to knock a lot of folks off, hurt long-term care. 1.00

00:40:23.120 Wait.

00:40:23.340 Can you start over again?

00:40:24.680 The Republicans cannot just force this down our throats.

00:40:27.200 Now, can you just go to Nancy Pelosi, the second cut?

00:40:30.480 What did she say about it?

00:40:31.480 Go to the gate.

00:40:32.280 The gate's closed.

00:40:33.180 We'll go over the fence.

00:40:34.060 The fence is too high.

00:40:35.180 We'll pull vault in.

00:40:36.220 If that doesn't work, we'll parachute in.

00:40:38.140 But we're going to get health care reform passed for the American people for their own 0.92

00:40:43.380 personal health and economic health.

00:40:44.780 They've forgotten that we have something called audio tape.

00:40:49.340 Yes.

00:40:52.080 Digitized audio now.

00:40:53.180 Yes.

00:40:53.360 And it's at our ready disposal at all times.

00:40:57.160 Okay.

00:40:57.420 So you want to talk about fake news for a second.

00:40:59.620 Try this on for size.

00:41:00.500 Do you hear about the hacker in Russia that has released pictures and he has said, prove

00:41:07.940 that they are doctored?

00:41:10.480 Now, he released pictures that we know are doctored, but he has hacked the code so he can

00:41:18.360 erase the digital fingerprints of doctored photos.

00:41:24.200 And one of them is man standing on the moon wearing a Russian flag on his arm and planting

00:41:35.380 the Russian flag on on the moon.

00:41:38.220 And there's no way to tell if it has been faked or not.

00:41:45.060 Really?

00:41:45.800 Yeah.

00:41:47.140 So now.

00:41:48.280 Wow.

00:41:48.740 That can't be good.

00:41:49.940 No, no.

00:41:50.820 You literally will not believe images anymore where we already don't believe images.

00:41:59.060 We just dismissed everything.

00:42:00.440 But at least if somebody presents evidence, you can go into forensic testing and say, OK,

00:42:06.960 this this photo has been doctored because of the code.

00:42:09.900 You can tell where the code has been changed.

00:42:12.980 He has now changed it and found a way around the code so it will not leave any evidence of

00:42:21.080 being changed.

00:42:23.260 I mean, it probably won't be used in a negative way.

00:42:27.640 No.

00:42:27.880 OK.

00:42:28.500 No.

00:42:28.960 OK.

00:42:29.340 No.

00:42:29.740 Good.

00:42:30.440 No.

00:42:31.580 I mean, and of course, obviously, if some guy's doing it, the government has been able to

00:42:36.000 do it for how long?

00:42:37.040 Right.

00:42:37.220 Or, you know, the intelligence sources have been able to do it for how long?

00:42:40.240 So just make it illegal and nobody will use it.

00:42:42.420 I mean, sincerely, what what what is what is going to be real anymore?

00:42:48.580 What's going to be real?

00:42:52.020 Nancy Pelosi is on on tape now.

00:42:56.140 You know, completely contradicting herself and nobody pays attention to it. 0.99

00:43:02.580 Now, add that we are so close to we apparently can doctor video or film and you will not be able to prove that that isn't you in that picture.

00:43:16.940 That's not me.

00:43:17.540 That's not me.

00:43:17.620 I wasn't there.

00:43:18.560 Well, you're in the picture in this.

00:43:20.280 There's there's no doctoring of this photo.

00:43:23.720 Neil Armstrong.

00:43:24.540 He put the Russian flag there.

00:43:26.840 No, he didn't.

00:43:29.800 Well, I didn't doctor this photo.

00:43:32.000 I mean, really bad fakes from history, like the protocols of the elders of Zion.

00:43:38.840 Yes.

00:43:39.200 Have have, you know, manufactured millions of deaths.

00:43:44.860 Yes.

00:43:45.420 You know, I mean, massive turmoil throughout the globe.

00:43:49.920 Right.

00:43:50.240 Over fake things like that.

00:43:52.740 I mean, imagine what a really good fake could do.

00:43:57.560 Imagine technology is going to be something to truly be feared if we're not careful.

00:44:03.260 Try this on for size.

00:44:06.680 How would you feel?

00:44:09.880 If somebody could create a service.

00:44:13.360 Where you could dump your email into it and private conversations into it, it would be secure.

00:44:21.620 But the algorithm would search and it would try to make a digital replica of you through AI that you could write and it would write back and it would be a reflection of you.

00:44:41.820 That sounds like something that's years away.

00:44:45.440 It's here.

00:44:46.240 It's already here.

00:44:48.000 There is Eugenia Kuda.

00:44:53.020 In 2015, she was working on AI and she had a friend named Roman who had passed away.

00:45:02.800 She wanted to talk to him.

00:45:05.120 She wanted to write to him.

00:45:06.160 So she took all of his email and dumped it into this program and it started writing her and she said, you know, I learned a lot about my friend, blah, blah, blah.

00:45:19.620 Then she started doing it with others and saying, why don't you dump this into this system and that way we'll have you and your relatives can write to you, talk to you, and we're just going to continue to hone it because this guy didn't do it before he died.

00:45:40.200 So if, Pat, you wanted to do this, you'll just answer a whole bunch of questions, very personal.

00:45:47.180 You'll include all of your email and every conversation that you can possibly include in this so it will have it and then it will recreate you.

00:45:56.480 And the people who are trying it and the people who are trying it are saying it's pretty darn close to how I would respond and pretty spooky that we're now starting to make a clone of you.

00:46:12.140 Well, how long before that happens and when you do have AI and you do have upload and download, like Ray Kurzweil says, which Ray says is now about 10 years out where I can download me.

00:46:28.900 Just put a jack in my head and download the way I process information like Google.

00:46:36.140 It's what they're learning.

00:46:38.060 How does the world process?

00:46:40.200 This will then take, how does Glenn process?

00:46:43.580 And you'll be able to have it and ask it any question and it will answer the way I would answer it.

00:46:49.120 It will continue to keep up, but it will think on my patterns.

00:46:55.860 Well, wait a minute.

00:46:57.420 You have all of the images of me.

00:46:59.680 You have hours and hours and hours of images of me.

00:47:02.560 You have decades of audio of me.

00:47:10.400 Could a Glenn Beck in a fascistic world, you know, let's go to the movie, you know, let's go to the movie world for a while.

00:47:19.580 Is it that crazy of a movie script that in a fascistic world, a guy who was known could be completely recreated for television or for the Internet and could continue to do his show.

00:47:37.900 But then just have the government tweak because they killed him a long time ago.

00:47:43.740 But he's still now starting to lead the people in the way the government wanted to lead.

00:47:51.540 I mean, yeah, seriously, some of that technology kind of exists because you look at the last Star Wars movie, for instance,

00:47:58.440 where the general who played the original general on the Death Star in 1977 is featured prominently throughout the movie.

00:48:07.000 And he's been dead for 22 years.

00:48:09.960 And I mean, a lot of people say, oh, I could tell immediately.

00:48:13.420 And I couldn't.

00:48:15.520 I could with Carrie Fisher.

00:48:17.120 Carrie Fisher, she looked bad.

00:48:19.560 She's so familiar that it was.

00:48:24.160 And I obviously think that was bad.

00:48:25.840 I've seen her currently.

00:48:27.220 Yeah.

00:48:27.380 So it was easy for me to tell that.

00:48:29.520 But I mean, you know, I hadn't seen this guy in a long time.

00:48:31.580 But it's come a long way.

00:48:32.220 Oh, come a long way.

00:48:32.620 In a short time.

00:48:33.680 He is.

00:48:34.520 He, I thought he was as good.

00:48:36.000 So if you could also match the personality and inject that into the image.

00:48:40.040 Yeah.

00:48:40.540 You could do that kind of stuff.

00:48:41.000 And not just personality.

00:48:42.400 Thinking process.

00:48:43.340 Right.

00:48:43.520 So, you know, if you could, I mean, we are not far away from being able to have a conversation.

00:48:53.880 Remember, what is this test called?

00:48:55.320 They talked about it.

00:48:58.540 Maybe not.

00:48:59.360 I was thinking they talked about it in the imitation game.

00:49:02.100 I think they did.

00:49:03.600 It's a test that he came up with that you ask a computer, you know, a series of questions.

00:49:11.980 And at some point, it's for consciousness.

00:49:16.760 At some point, you won't be able to tell the difference between, you won't know if you're talking to a living being or a computer.

00:49:27.480 And we are really close to that.

00:49:30.940 When we cross over to that, what happens?

00:49:35.340 Don't tell my stupid car that never can tell that I just want to make a phone call through the voice recognition that we're close to that.

00:49:42.320 Because my caller car is not.

00:49:44.820 Tune radio to 109.4.

00:49:47.520 It doesn't even exist.

00:49:48.520 Why would I want to do that?

00:49:50.840 But I think maybe one of the end games here, or at least there's never an end game, I guess.

00:49:56.680 But the next step is we just don't care because we'll be so convinced that anything can be manipulated that these things don't matter.

00:50:06.460 Remember, like, John Kerry's campaign was basically derailed, not completely, but largely derailed by I voted for it before I voted against it.

00:50:16.080 It was such a crazy moment.

00:50:17.700 No one could believe he said it.

00:50:19.320 It was in every ad in that campaign.

00:50:21.260 These things happen 50 times a day now.

00:50:25.560 Because of all the recording devices, because of social media, every politician is constantly shown to be a complete hypocrite.

00:50:36.320 And we keep saying, you know, we go on the air every day and we say, like, do you believe what Nancy Pelosi said two weeks ago compared to what she said currently?

00:50:42.540 This is amazing.

00:50:43.880 No one cares anymore.

00:50:45.700 There's no, there's no, there's no weight to that moment anymore because so many people are shown to do it all the time.

00:50:53.920 You're turning to politics.

00:50:55.660 No, but I'm talking about what you're saying.

00:50:57.080 You said, well, what if people could manipulate what I say?

00:51:00.000 They have all this video.

00:51:01.040 What if people don't care what you say?

00:51:02.900 What if people have no, there's no weight on whether you're, whether you were a fascist or not?

00:51:07.840 Well, here's the problem.

00:51:09.740 Right now we're moving in the opposite direction.

00:51:12.060 Studies show now that, what is it, 90% of the American people get their opinions from someone else.

00:51:22.380 They have not done any homework.

00:51:25.040 They listen to somebody like me and they're like, you know what, he's close to me.

00:51:29.900 I like that guy.

00:51:31.460 He thinks the way I think.

00:51:32.980 And they don't think it past whatever it is that person said.

00:51:37.020 And this is not a left or right thing.

00:51:38.420 This is all people.

00:51:39.560 They're starting to formulate their opinions on things just based on what the people, not on any facts, just on what the people they trust say.

00:51:52.820 Glenn, how else could you explain the vast changes of opinion by 40 and 50% of groups?

00:52:01.500 All because the parties have changed.

00:52:05.460 Okay.

00:52:05.820 And that's, again, I know I'm relating it to politics, but it's important.

00:52:08.600 Let me explain that.

00:52:09.440 May I explain that one?

00:52:10.480 Because there's three new studies out that talk specifically about that.

00:52:14.760 I'll give that to you here in a second.

00:52:15.840 First, let me tell you about ZipRecruiter.

00:53:28.540 Glenn Beck Program.

00:53:29.740 888-727-BECK.

00:53:32.220 Mercury.

00:53:36.880 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:53:38.280 All right, so Stu said right before the break, what could explain people's, you know, just change of opinion?

00:53:49.640 Everybody just flip sides.

00:53:52.000 Listen to this.

00:53:52.880 And it's exactly what you think, Stu, on what will change it.

00:53:57.200 Three studies have come out now.

00:54:01.600 And we have developed a moral aversion toward political opponents.

00:54:08.060 And it compels us now to make any choice that will keep us on the right team or help our team win.

00:54:20.120 And we will adopt positions that we otherwise, big and small, that we otherwise would never hold.

00:54:29.620 For instance, one of the examples, you go into an ice cream shop.

00:54:36.100 It's election day.

00:54:37.260 You discover that the ice cream shop is filled with either Clinton supporters or Trump supporters, whichever one you oppose.

00:54:47.900 And as you come up to the counter, your favorite flavor is red velvet.

00:54:53.460 And when you order red velvet, the person behind the counter says, oh, everybody here, that's everybody's favorite flavor.

00:55:07.640 You now are more likely to say, yeah, you know what?

00:55:12.860 I don't want red velvet.

00:55:14.700 Can you just give me double chocolate, please?

00:55:18.860 Wow.

00:55:19.420 Three studies, whatever they think, whatever your opponent thinks, you are now conditioned to think the opposite.

00:55:30.580 They did another test.

00:55:33.020 This is called, I guess, the Stroop effect.

00:55:36.420 People are asked to see a single word and asked to name the color in which the word is printed.

00:55:42.900 When the color in the word matches, for example, red printed in red, the task is easy.

00:55:47.520 When the color in the word are incongruent, red printed in blue, the task is harder.

00:55:52.620 People feel an impulse or an urge to accidentally read the word.

00:55:57.480 This urge interferes with the task of naming a color.

00:56:02.180 But it becomes more difficult for people to do.

00:56:05.320 It's a Stroop effect.

00:56:06.580 So they were looking for the Stroop effect.

00:56:08.960 And this, again, is Jonathan Haidt.

00:56:10.520 And they did a moral blind for people on alternative viewpoints.

00:56:17.840 So what they did is they said, I'm going to name some consumer choice and you tell me what you like.

00:56:28.280 As far as preference for car color, forest green or silver, vacuum brand, Hoover or the dirt devil.

00:56:37.100 After each answer, the participants were told how a majority of other participants answered the same question.

00:56:46.760 Sometimes they answered, they said, oh, you know what?

00:56:50.200 The group, you know, you're a Trump supporter.

00:56:51.960 All the Trump people said dirt devil too.

00:56:55.060 Other times they said, oh, you know what?

00:56:57.800 The white supremacists say dirt devil too.

00:57:00.460 That's weird.

00:57:00.960 Oh, all of the Clinton supporters say dirt devil.

00:57:06.400 And what they found is they would say that and they would say, Hoover or dirt devil?

00:57:14.600 And you would say dirt devil.

00:57:16.400 They say, wow, you know, all of the white supremacists say dirt devil.

00:57:20.160 I'm sorry, what was your answer again?

00:57:22.520 The majority of people changed their answer.

00:57:26.260 And pretended that they never said dirt devil.

00:57:31.220 That's where we are right now.

00:57:34.320 We're in our own little group and our own little bubble and we refuse to move out of it.

00:57:41.480 We are white.

00:57:44.780 The Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:47.900 Mercury.

00:57:48.500 Triple eight, seven, two, seven, back.

00:57:54.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:57:57.260 We are truly a society to really watch.

00:58:01.380 There's there's a lot of crazy stuff going on with us as people.

00:58:06.400 And we're we're now looking at studies.

00:58:11.100 And one study I just shared, it was actually three studies that showed the same thing, suggests that we are willing to change everything if we think that it puts us in a wrong group.

00:58:29.020 If it puts us in a group of people we don't like, we will change everything.

00:58:36.440 Now, Stu found another study.

00:58:38.280 Well, it's just interesting in a way that our society is polarizing.

00:58:42.820 We've obviously talked about that before.

00:58:44.560 This study shows that we are more polarized than we've ever been in American history.

00:58:48.520 And the election kind of civil war points that out.

00:58:52.280 I mean, it said ever in any time.

00:58:55.720 But yeah.

00:58:56.120 Yeah.

00:58:56.320 I mean, who knows if maybe they didn't study the civil war period.

00:58:58.560 But this goes back just, you know, a few decades.

00:59:00.880 But look at the way this is changing.

00:59:03.240 What they did is they looked at counties.

00:59:04.680 So county by county across America, and they looked for what percentage of counties are essentially blowout counties.

00:59:13.900 So you have a 20, 30, 40, 50 point margin in each individual county.

00:59:19.680 So the people who live around you are basically of the same mindset.

00:59:23.600 You're seeing 80, 20 elections.

00:59:25.380 So you could break this down a bunch of different ways.

00:59:29.380 But this is, in 1992, the amount of counties who, that were 30 point margins, 30 point margins,

00:59:38.260 there was about, eh, about 17% of counties had 30 point margins.

00:59:43.280 Real blowout elections.

00:59:44.460 That's slowly risen until this last election, where it went from, so 1992 was 17%, 2016, 42%.

00:59:54.840 Oh my gosh.

00:59:56.200 I mean, that's an incredible increase.

00:59:59.020 In fact, now, over 20% of counties are 50 point blowout counties.

01:00:06.020 50 points.

01:00:06.940 I mean, that is incredible.

01:00:09.300 And you go to, now, over 60% of all counties are 20 point blowout counties.

01:00:15.460 So, again, the chances of you being around someone who's like-minded is incredibly high.

01:00:21.120 That's the problem.

01:00:22.140 We don't live, you know, you go to Denver.

01:00:26.240 You can live in, you know, I don't even know where, that is a real conservative part of Denver.

01:00:31.740 You can go to Boulder, which is very, very liberal.

01:00:33.980 And no conservative wants to live in Boulder.

01:00:38.180 I mean, what are we doing?

01:00:40.060 We can sit here and say that we complain about it, but you're hearing a show that, you know, comes from Texas that used to come from New York.

01:00:46.620 Right?

01:00:47.160 And then there's a reason for it.

01:00:49.320 It makes life better.

01:00:50.940 But I understand.

01:00:52.320 Well, that's not why we.

01:00:53.620 But it creates real problems.

01:00:54.140 Yeah, that's not why we moved.

01:00:55.420 That's part of it.

01:00:56.080 It is part of it, but that's not the real.

01:00:57.920 You're sick of getting hit with eggs in the face in your walks of Fox News.

01:01:01.120 Yes.

01:01:01.220 And that's not the same as what the average person goes through.

01:01:05.980 It's not.

01:01:06.080 We're an exaggerated example of that, clearly.

01:01:08.840 But still, I mean, I think people tend to do that.

01:01:12.280 How many people have called this show over the years and been like, I got to move to Texas?

01:01:15.460 We had just won something the other day.

01:01:16.560 We'd say, I want to move to Texas or Idaho.

01:01:17.920 I'm thinking of moving to.

01:01:18.420 Yeah, the choice.

01:01:18.920 And they were trying to figure it out.

01:01:20.660 You want to go to people that, you know, consider, that understand your viewpoint.

01:01:24.980 And I don't think that it's the problem that people have talking to people who disagree with them that are rational and ask, as you've always begged for, honest questions.

01:01:35.360 We are so convinced now that the other side doesn't ask honest questions.

01:01:39.560 And, by the way, we're right in that analysis a lot of the time that we just want to get away from it.

01:01:44.600 And so are they.

01:01:45.720 Yeah, and so are they.

01:01:46.400 So are they.

01:01:46.940 Sure.

01:01:47.040 But I say that you go further than that.

01:01:50.800 We are convinced that the people on the other side aren't even kind.

01:01:54.940 They're not even, they're not even, they're not good people.

01:01:59.300 Great new study here that kind of shows that people aren't nearly as nice as they think they are.

01:02:06.700 They did this study in Great Britain, but I'm sure this applies to Americans as well.

01:02:12.200 People are not what?

01:02:13.160 Not as nice as they think they are.

01:02:14.680 That's an interesting study for this room.

01:02:16.380 I'm going to pay attention to that.

01:02:18.380 Oh, please.

01:02:19.400 We're the nicest group of people around.

01:02:21.220 Shut your fat mouth.

01:02:22.400 See how nice he was?

01:02:23.380 He didn't say anything about the rest of your body.

01:02:25.740 He just said your mouth was fat.

01:02:27.000 I just narrowed it to your mouth, your fat mouth. 1.00

01:02:29.680 That was generous.

01:02:30.320 I could have said, my gosh, look at you, you slob. 1.00

01:02:33.380 But I didn't.

01:02:34.080 Well, now you have.

01:02:34.940 Well, thank you.

01:02:35.840 No, but I said only as an example.

01:02:37.540 But that time you didn't mention his mouth.

01:02:39.940 Right.

01:02:40.460 That time, so.

01:02:40.800 Right.

01:02:41.300 Still kind.

01:02:41.720 Only as a kindness example, Stu.

01:02:43.860 Anyway, go ahead.

01:02:44.740 Now, according to the psychologist from Goldsmiths University of London, they've discovered

01:02:50.580 that 98% of British people think they're part of the 50%, the nicest 50% on the planet.

01:02:58.840 So the question was, are you part of the nicest people on the planet?

01:03:04.560 98% said yes.

01:03:07.960 They were given a.

01:03:08.540 Boy, what?

01:03:09.200 Of course, everybody wants to be.

01:03:10.080 That 2%, that 2% is either really evil or just suicidal.

01:03:16.640 Or just super honest.

01:03:17.540 Incredibly honest, yeah.

01:03:18.240 Maybe they know they're cranky.

01:03:20.100 Yeah.

01:03:21.060 They were given a list of nice behaviors and asked which ones they do.

01:03:24.720 So the most frequently carried out nice behaviors were giving directions to strangers, holding

01:03:30.640 doors open.

01:03:31.560 I do those.

01:03:31.980 I do both those things.

01:03:32.800 I do all that all the time.

01:03:33.580 Giving up seats on public transport.

01:03:35.240 Done that a lot.

01:03:35.980 Done that.

01:03:37.780 But two-thirds of people admitted that they rarely, if ever, help others carry heavy shopping

01:03:44.400 bags.

01:03:45.420 Done that.

01:03:45.780 I've done that.

01:03:46.780 Five-sixths of people infrequently give money to strangers.

01:03:51.220 I've done that often.

01:03:52.840 And only a quarter.

01:03:53.400 I got yelled at often from Stu and mean people like him who turned out to be right, but let's

01:03:58.920 not dwell on that.

01:03:59.620 And only a quarter of people give blood to help elderly or infirm.

01:04:04.280 I don't know if I've ever given blood.

01:04:07.140 I've given.

01:04:08.060 Well, I've tried to give blood.

01:04:09.700 They won't take my blood.

01:04:10.700 It's too pure.

01:04:11.520 It's too good.

01:04:12.120 It's too...

01:04:12.740 No.

01:04:13.420 What?

01:04:13.640 I don't think they were just blood for being pure.

01:04:16.800 That's the same thing they said to me.

01:04:17.640 Like Glenn, it's too pure.

01:04:19.160 We can't have super humans.

01:04:21.920 You are in a category all of yourself.

01:04:24.540 I don't think that happened.

01:04:25.360 And Jeffy, yours was clearly pure heroin, they were saying, was in the blood.

01:04:28.380 There was a couple letters ahead of pure when they talked to me?

01:04:31.320 You give half a pint from him.

01:04:33.200 It sounded something like that.

01:04:34.620 I am in pure.

01:04:36.680 It's like when he says, hey, I just want to give a pint.

01:04:40.080 He actually means like a pint.

01:04:41.740 It's just like a pint of whiskey.

01:04:43.700 It's just a little stronger than that.

01:04:45.860 Well, if you try to draw blood, all you get is gravy.

01:04:48.420 Right.

01:04:48.820 So it's not very helpful anyway.

01:04:51.320 That is very kind of you.

01:04:52.620 Thank you.

01:04:53.080 Very kind.

01:04:53.820 Gravy is something good.

01:04:55.620 Gravy is delicious.

01:04:56.420 Gravy is delicious.

01:04:57.200 You sure are in the top 50% of niceness.

01:04:59.260 I know.

01:05:00.200 I know.

01:05:00.500 So how would you answer that question?

01:05:02.220 Of course I'd say yes.

01:05:03.220 Of course.

01:05:03.720 Everyone.

01:05:04.320 Everyone says yes.

01:05:05.240 It says yes.

01:05:05.860 And of course, everyone can't be right.

01:05:07.780 And we all know that that's not true.

01:05:10.500 But I mean, that's the funny thing you see with, it's something like, it's over 90%,

01:05:14.640 I believe, maybe it's in the 80s, but it's something right around 90% of people who believe

01:05:18.880 they qualify as the middle class.

01:05:21.320 So people who are poor say they're richer than they are, and people who are rich say they're

01:05:26.700 poorer than they are, and everyone thinks they're in the middle class.

01:05:30.120 And it's like, well, they're not, the middle class doesn't mean anything if we're all in

01:05:33.560 the middle class.

01:05:35.740 You have to first define middle class for them.

01:05:38.440 Exactly.

01:05:38.620 And then, of course, you could statistically say that they're not even, there's not.

01:05:41.880 But that's really, that's good of us in some ways.

01:05:44.820 That's a really good thing in our country.

01:05:46.840 Yeah.

01:05:47.140 That we all, we all kind of see ourselves, unfortunately, we're so blind to our lifestyle

01:05:54.280 that, you know, that, that could lead to a real problem on charitable giving and things.

01:06:01.700 If you are, if you're, you know, if you're wealthy, you're, you know, you're me or whatever.

01:06:07.160 And you're like, yeah, well, I'm in the middle class.

01:06:10.420 No, no, you're not.

01:06:12.380 It's something I try to tell my kids all the time.

01:06:14.720 You have a very different lifestyle.

01:06:17.500 The minute you move away from daddy's house, you're going to see the real world.

01:06:22.880 And so if people who are on the upper end of the scale think they're middle class, they

01:06:32.140 don't recognize necessarily the suffering, especially in the lower class, because then

01:06:38.240 they will look at the lower classes.

01:06:39.940 What?

01:06:40.920 Upper middle class?

01:06:42.160 Look at these poor people.

01:06:44.420 I, but I think of people, a lot of people who make really good money don't consider themselves

01:06:49.620 no wealthy.

01:06:50.780 Well, you just said, who, who, who just gave that stat?

01:06:53.660 I did.

01:06:54.340 Yeah.

01:06:54.540 Yeah.

01:06:55.020 You have the stat again?

01:06:56.020 It's something like it's around, it's between 80 and 90%, I think.

01:06:59.540 No, they, they identify with the middle class.

01:07:01.320 They think they're just like everybody else, but I don't think that, I don't think that

01:07:04.900 means that they don't consider other people.

01:07:07.720 They just don't consider themselves.

01:07:09.840 Right.

01:07:10.340 And, and I think we vilified the rich enough that people who are rich don't want to be

01:07:16.100 identified that way.

01:07:16.940 They don't want to think of themselves in that category.

01:07:18.780 They want to think of themselves, oh, I'm just like everybody else.

01:07:21.180 And, and, you know, they are just like everyone else in a million different ways, but probably

01:07:25.460 not income.

01:07:26.000 And a million different ways they're not.

01:07:29.200 Right.

01:07:29.620 They all have pictures of George Washington on those million different ways.

01:07:33.160 Well, yes.

01:07:33.920 So, um, all right.

01:07:36.840 Our sponsor of this half hour is, uh, my Patriot supply America's, uh, greatest threats have

01:07:43.120 become bold and aggressive in the, uh, last couple of weeks.

01:07:48.980 I think Turkey's going to be a problem. 1.00

01:07:51.700 Uh, North Korea missile testing that, um, uh, could carry EMPs and they say that they are

01:07:59.560 working on EMPs, uh, and they just, uh, did some missile testing.

01:08:03.920 They're off the coast of Japan and they say that they could carry these missiles, uh, to

01:08:08.820 our waters, Russian hacking that could be less about our privacy and more about taking

01:08:13.680 down our electrical grid.

01:08:14.860 ISIS using Mad Max style tactics, wherever they encounter Western forces, are any of these

01:08:22.240 threats, uh, you know, abating anytime soon, any of these things going away, any of these

01:08:29.000 things going to be solved by Washington?

01:08:31.880 No, these are all huge threats and they're growing.

01:08:38.100 I've, I've often told my family, you know, um, dad, when will you feel things are getting

01:08:43.840 better?

01:08:44.100 When the star field starts to roll back the other direction right now, you're seeing over

01:08:49.340 the horizon and you're seeing everything move towards more instability, not less.

01:08:55.920 And as soon as it starts to move towards not less unstable, uh, then, okay, we'll, we'll

01:09:04.540 back off and calm down a little bit until that time you should prepare.

01:09:08.100 My Patriot supply can help you get prepared the Glenn Beck exclusive deluxe emergency food

01:10:46.420 Hey, today, seven, two, seven, B.E.C.K.

01:10:50.760 Um, I have to, uh, I have to tell you a story about, um, uh, a couple of good friends of ours

01:10:57.620 and, uh, somebody who works, he's the general manager of this program, Dom Theodore and his,

01:11:02.880 uh, wife, Jen. 0.97

01:11:04.480 Um, they were out on Friday night and, uh, in a head-on car collision, um, and a, a pretty

01:11:14.460 bad one, um, Jen just has a broken nose, um, Dom is, was seriously injured and has a broken

01:11:24.860 hip, uh, and he is going to be in a rehab center, they say, for three to four months before

01:11:32.180 he'll be able to fully recover.

01:11:34.500 He's a guy who has, um, you know, uh, kidney issues and everything else and has just been

01:11:41.560 struggling so hard just to stay healthy.

01:11:45.500 And, uh, this is a massive setback for, for him.

01:11:50.580 What is so amazing is the woman who, whose fault it was apparently was texting.

01:12:01.300 She walked away. 1.00

01:12:02.680 She's fine today.

01:12:03.760 She's back at work today.

01:12:04.920 Um, they totaled the car head-on collision.

01:12:10.020 She apparently swerved into the other lane, um, because she wasn't paying attention and

01:12:17.060 she's at work today.

01:12:18.880 Somebody else is possibly affected for the rest of his life.

01:12:24.640 And, uh, you know, I had a lot of thoughts this weekend of a, God, can you cut him some

01:12:34.000 slack?

01:12:34.520 Can you, can you give him a break?

01:12:37.020 Cause he's really been struggling for a very, very long time.

01:12:41.540 Um, and he's one of the nicest guys.

01:12:44.260 And so is his wife, just one of the nicest guys I know.

01:12:46.900 Um, so nice.

01:12:49.840 He probably put, wouldn't put himself in that top 50% if he was asked, are you the top 50%?

01:12:55.980 No, no, no.

01:12:57.000 He's that kind of nice guy.

01:12:59.240 Um, and, um, and I thought about the driver a lot this weekend.

01:13:07.400 Um, has she even considered that her checking that email has affected somebody's life that

01:13:28.020 much?

01:13:29.420 They had nothing to do.

01:13:31.000 They were doing nothing to do with anything.

01:13:34.080 And she was checking the email.

01:13:37.400 Yeah.

01:13:37.780 The, you know, they had the scare tactic PSAs, uh, that air, like they used to have the,

01:13:42.880 you know, this is your brain on drugs.

01:13:44.560 Classic example.

01:13:45.400 The ones, the ones they have, at least they were running a couple of years ago were really

01:13:49.160 effective on the texting.

01:13:50.040 Cause it was the people who were either debilitated because they got in an accident because of the

01:13:55.920 texting or family members of people who had died, just reading the last text that they

01:14:02.160 were sending as they got, and it's like, LOL.

01:14:05.500 Well, so be, be right there.

01:14:08.460 Like, it's just all nonsense, like completely worthless stuff that leads to these things.

01:14:16.020 Um, and those are pretty effective.

01:14:18.020 I think, uh, you know, I, it's hard because I mean, you know, it's yeah, I'll just take

01:14:23.120 my eyes off the road for a second, but this is what happens.

01:14:25.900 It's really bad.

01:14:27.620 We ask for your prayers for, um, uh, Dom and Jen, uh, Theodore, um, really, uh, just

01:14:35.100 a great, great family.

01:14:37.840 Um, thankfully she was driving and she's okay.

01:14:55.200 This is the blaze radio on demand.

01:15:03.940 So what's happening with Obamacare repeal and the pull and replace what's happening with

01:15:09.340 the tax cuts, the infrastructure spending a trillion dollar infrastructure bill.

01:15:15.180 Uh, what's happening with the, uh, intelligence community saying 24 hours, president Trump, let

01:15:24.820 us know what the, what, you know, what do you have that shows that president Obama was spying

01:15:31.880 on you?

01:15:33.020 Please produce your evidence.

01:15:34.460 And if so, Congress will investigate that, but we can't find any evidence of it at all.

01:15:41.520 What's happening with that?

01:15:43.520 A guy who knows?

01:15:44.520 A guy who knows?

01:15:45.520 A guy who's in the middle of a lot of it?

01:15:47.580 Mike Lee joins us right now.

01:15:50.580 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:16:11.640 This is the Glenn Beck program.

01:16:18.700 Senator Mike Lee, who's at an airport getting ready to, uh, board a plane.

01:16:22.440 We just, uh, we're glad that you would take the time to hop on the phone with us.

01:16:25.240 How are you, sir?

01:16:26.500 Doing great.

01:16:27.240 Thanks so much, Glenn.

01:16:27.880 Good.

01:16:28.440 Um, let's, uh, let's get to, um, Obamacare repeal and replace.

01:16:33.980 This thing is nothing like what the Republicans were promising us they would do.

01:16:42.960 Nowhere even close.

01:16:44.820 Do we have a chance of getting something good out of this?

01:16:51.140 Sure.

01:16:51.740 Something good can come out of it.

01:16:53.280 What happens, whether something good comes out of it and to the extent to which it might

01:16:57.300 be good depends entirely on how members of Congress handle this in the next few days

01:17:01.860 on how they choose to cast their votes.

01:17:05.340 Now, look, you're right.

01:17:06.360 What we promised was to repeal Obamacare as much of Obamacare as we possibly could.

01:17:10.260 And then to start, uh, trying to find new ways to put the American people back in charge 0.61

01:17:15.460 of their own healthcare.

01:17:16.740 Well, what, what this bill does is it doesn't repeal, uh, nearly as much of Obamacare as we

01:17:22.040 could.

01:17:22.360 It leaves all kinds of things intact.

01:17:24.580 It leaves most of the Obamacare regulations in place.

01:17:27.380 Most of many of the Obamacare taxes remain in place, at least for a time.

01:17:32.100 Uh, it, it leaves expanded Medicaid, uh, intact for a period of time and then doesn't make

01:17:38.300 as many adjustments to it longterm.

01:17:40.260 Meanwhile, it comes up with a new refundable tax credit, which we don't know the cost of

01:17:46.240 yet.

01:17:46.520 We don't know how many people are going to take it.

01:17:48.660 There are, there are a lot of unanswered questions, which begs the question, why are we

01:17:52.340 not just repealing?

01:17:53.280 Why are we not just passing the same repeal bill that Republicans in the house and in

01:17:57.100 the Senate voted for in December of 2015?

01:17:59.100 That's what I'd like to see.

01:18:01.400 Mike, is it true that you can't just repeal it unless you have 60 votes?

01:18:05.180 You can't do it through reconciliation with a, just a full repeal?

01:18:08.180 Uh, there is some ambiguity as to how many of the insurance regulations of Obamacare could

01:18:16.060 be repealed through reconciliation.

01:18:18.600 Uh, so there's an open question on that, but we do know that we could repeal all the

01:18:23.140 taxes and all of the subsidies and possibly some of the regs through reconciliation.

01:18:28.240 We know that because the, the reconciliation bill we passed in 2015, uh, uh, repealed all

01:18:34.360 of the taxes and all the subsidies.

01:18:36.580 Why aren't we doing it?

01:18:37.220 That's a very good question.

01:18:38.920 That's what I believed that we were going to do.

01:18:41.200 That's what many of us were told.

01:18:42.800 Why aren't we led to believe?

01:18:44.860 Why aren't we doing it?

01:18:46.740 He said it was a good question.

01:18:48.620 There are those in Congress who chose to take a different path.

01:18:52.900 Uh, now I can't speak for them.

01:18:55.080 I can't speak to what their intentions are.

01:18:57.640 I think the easiest, simplest way of explaining it is they had other priorities that they wanted

01:19:02.520 to attach to this priorities that were perhaps higher than simply, uh, achieving repeal,

01:19:08.260 at least to the degree that we, uh, in our 2015 bill.

01:19:11.520 Can you give me an example of what might be more important than what you promised the

01:19:16.020 American people?

01:19:17.520 Okay.

01:19:18.080 So here's how I think they would explain it.

01:19:20.480 And I want to be clear.

01:19:21.180 I I'm always careful not to try to speak for someone else, but I, I think if they were here

01:19:26.100 with us, they would probably say, look, we don't want people to be in a state of too

01:19:30.660 much uncertainty and doubt.

01:19:32.480 We don't want them to be afraid.

01:19:34.400 We want them to have a degree of competence about what comes next after Obamacare repeal.

01:19:38.500 And so we want to provide a soft landing spot for them.

01:19:42.380 And that is so important.

01:19:43.680 It's important enough to them, apparently that they're willing to, uh, go a little softer

01:19:49.300 on some of the repeal and, uh, uh, provide more programs through this bill right now.

01:19:55.180 The problem with that is it's, um, it's not going to pass and it probably shouldn't pass

01:20:00.460 until they can answer more of these questions, more of these questions about why we can't

01:20:04.920 repeal more of Obamacare than this bill does.

01:20:06.920 And the other problem with that, uh, Mike, is that that's not what they promised us.

01:20:11.720 That's not what they said they were going to do.

01:20:14.260 They didn't say, well, we're going to think about this and provide a safe landing spot

01:20:17.760 for people.

01:20:18.340 It's going to take a really long time.

01:20:19.900 We're going to not repeal every, it was repeal and replace.

01:20:22.880 That's what they ran on.

01:20:24.160 That's what they were elected to do.

01:20:25.580 And now again, as so often happens with the Republican party, they're not doing it.

01:20:31.200 Frustrating.

01:20:31.780 That's right.

01:20:32.320 By the way, I love the Kermit the Frog imitation to both UN and Glenn do.

01:20:35.800 Thank you very much.

01:20:37.280 Thank you.

01:20:38.360 That's what happens when you're best friends since 1989.

01:20:41.960 He has in fact been the, the, uh, spokesman for the AHCA.

01:20:45.960 So, you know, it's appropriate that we use his voice when doing this, but no, you're,

01:20:49.600 you're exactly right.

01:20:51.020 This is what we ran on.

01:20:52.600 This is what we promised.

01:20:53.560 Now, to my great dismay, to my great surprise, on many instances over the last week or so,

01:20:59.980 we've had, uh, legislators from the house and from the Senate somehow saying, uh, that this

01:21:05.760 bill, the AHCA is somehow what we campaigned on, what we ran on.

01:21:09.340 Well, that's news to me.

01:21:10.600 That's news to me because we've had this bill for only a few days.

01:21:13.540 This bill has been in existence for only a few days.

01:21:16.380 Well, it's news to me if we somehow ran on this specific bill, a bill, the score of which

01:21:21.760 we still don't know.

01:21:22.480 We still don't know how much this thing is going to cost.

01:21:24.240 We still don't have any idea how many people are going to take this refundable tax credit

01:21:28.220 and therefore how much it's going to cost.

01:21:30.200 So that's news to me that that's somehow what we ran on.

01:21:32.640 What I remember that we ran on was that we would repeal every scrap of Obamacare that

01:21:37.340 we possibly could, the whole thing, if we could get away with it under our procedural rules

01:21:41.800 in the Senate.

01:21:42.440 And that's what we should be doing.

01:21:43.800 We're talking to Senator Mike Lee.

01:21:45.180 And every time you're on, Mike, I like to ask you the nerdiest, most boring, uninteresting

01:21:48.240 question.

01:21:48.820 So please keep this answer short, please, for the love of me.

01:21:51.220 I apologize in advance for this.

01:21:52.760 But when the Bush tax cuts were passed, they were passed under a reconciliation.

01:21:57.860 And because of that, they expired after 10 years.

01:22:00.700 Would the same thing happen here?

01:22:01.900 If we repeal all these Obamacare taxes in 10 years, are we going to be talking about the

01:22:05.580 expiration of the Obamacare repeal?

01:22:07.820 And then is it going to come be back into effect again?

01:22:10.880 No, not necessarily.

01:22:13.580 In fact, almost certainly not.

01:22:14.920 Good to end.

01:22:15.480 It was a quirk of the fact that we were dealing with taxes in that circumstance rather than

01:22:21.780 something else.

01:22:22.280 So that wouldn't be it.

01:22:23.060 I thought it was a tax, which is the only reason it was constitutional.

01:22:26.840 Wasn't that the tax versus fee?

01:22:29.000 Wasn't that a big conversation back with Roberts?

01:22:31.300 That was in your pocket or something.

01:22:33.400 I'm sorry.

01:22:33.900 I didn't hear that question.

01:22:34.720 Can you say that again?

01:22:35.200 Good.

01:22:35.440 No.

01:22:35.740 Okay.

01:22:35.880 No, let's just move on.

01:22:36.720 Let's move on.

01:22:37.180 Um, okay.

01:22:38.180 So Senator, um, let me ask you about the intelligence, uh, committee has given the president until

01:22:46.100 like this afternoon, they say they can't find any evidence that Barack Obama was spying on

01:22:52.660 Donald Trump, uh, and to present some evidence and we'll go pursue that.

01:22:59.840 I, any indication that he's going to present that evidence.

01:23:03.760 And is there any reason to believe that he couldn't present the evidence if he had it?

01:23:11.200 Okay.

01:23:11.680 That's a good question.

01:23:12.880 As to the first question, I have no idea.

01:23:15.040 I would love to see what the evidence is.

01:23:16.800 I'm wildly curious about it as to whether he could present it.

01:23:21.040 That depends on what the it is.

01:23:23.200 Yeah.

01:23:23.340 I'll tell you my first reaction to this when I very first learned about the tweet, uh,

01:23:29.020 my first reaction was he's probably not talking about a traditional wiretap, uh, where somebody

01:23:34.680 actually, uh, goes to a judge and the judge orders a phone line to be tapped.

01:23:40.160 Perhaps he's talking about, uh, a foreign intelligence surveillance court order, uh,

01:23:46.660 issued pursuant to section 702 of the FISA amendments, which would say, you know, uh,

01:23:53.140 here, here is an identified agent of a foreign government.

01:23:56.320 Uh, let's monitor, uh, this person's communications and that there might've been some incidental

01:24:03.220 communications with some U S citizens, perhaps including, uh, people who, uh, were involved

01:24:10.040 in one way or another with the campaign, uh, that incidentally got pulled into that.

01:24:14.480 That was my first reaction is that that seemed like the most plausible possibility.

01:24:19.120 If in fact, it's that there, there might be some reasons why he might be reluctant to

01:24:23.760 share that or, or why he could share it with the intelligence community.

01:24:27.640 Could he not?

01:24:28.340 Or the committee?

01:24:29.120 Yes.

01:24:29.400 Because they've got, they've got the clearance to do that.

01:24:31.200 So there's no reason why he couldn't share something like that with them.

01:24:34.440 They've got clearance to see pretty much all of that.

01:24:36.560 Uh, but, uh, uh, as far as his ability to share that publicly, that would seem less likely

01:24:42.380 if my theory is correct.

01:24:43.980 And, um, there's nothing that the president can't get right.

01:24:48.140 If, if he said, I want to show it, but you know, this agency won't let me, you know, have

01:24:54.740 access to this.

01:24:56.460 Um, there's everybody in the Senate would be like, okay, we need to see this enclosed behind

01:25:02.940 closed doors, but you will open these books or whatever it is that he's saying the evidence

01:25:09.700 is there's nothing.

01:25:10.500 The president couldn't get to is there.

01:25:15.100 I assume so, uh, because, uh, and look, he's the, he's the commander in chief.

01:25:20.340 There's nothing that he doesn't have access to.

01:25:23.300 So if he can, if he can back this up, if he knows what it is that he's referring to, uh,

01:25:29.260 there's no reason that I'm aware of why he couldn't come up with something that he could

01:25:33.840 produce through these Intel committees.

01:25:35.040 Now, whether he will choose to do so or not is a different question.

01:25:39.200 Uh, the, perhaps there are those close to him advising him, Hey, um, you don't have to

01:25:44.900 do this if you don't want to, but that requires rank speculation.

01:25:49.420 Why wouldn't you?

01:25:51.200 Uh, if perhaps he didn't want to set a precedent that, uh, that, that he could just, uh, be required

01:25:58.180 to answer questions every time the Intel committee wanted to hear something, but I would think

01:26:02.900 in this instance, he would want to, particularly since these questions are going to be raised

01:26:07.700 from time to time.

01:26:08.680 And we're talking in this instance, we're talking about national security.

01:26:12.440 I mean, we're talking about something that, that, uh, he's accused another president of

01:26:17.460 doing.

01:26:18.020 And if that president was doing that, uh, that needs to be stopped.

01:26:24.400 Yes, yes, exactly.

01:26:25.940 And that's, uh, that's all the more reason why I suspect he'll provide them with what

01:26:32.780 they want to know, because you're right.

01:26:34.740 Look, this is one of the things I've been worried about for years.

01:26:37.440 And I, I've, I've expressed this concern on your show previously, but if you remember

01:26:42.460 the church committee, the Frank church committee back in the seventies conducted a series of

01:26:46.940 hearings, uh, to look into abuses by our intelligence gathering agencies.

01:26:51.660 And what they concluded was startling, which was that in every administration from Ford,

01:26:56.580 uh, uh, uh, from FDR through Ford and Nixon, who was in power at about the time they concluded

01:27:03.880 their research that, um, uh, the U S government's intelligence gathering apparatus had been used

01:27:13.760 to engage in political espionage.

01:27:17.100 Now look at what's happened since then.

01:27:19.760 Our technology has improved dramatically.

01:27:22.140 Uh, our technology, technological means of gathering intelligence have grown by leaps and

01:27:29.300 bounds and our laws haven't always kept up with that.

01:27:31.820 And so to me, uh, it would be almost surprising if some of this were not occurring.

01:27:37.840 That's why we need to be watchful of this.

01:27:40.100 That's why I was concerned immediately when I saw the president's tweet was because I considered

01:27:44.240 it plausible, if not likely that this kind of thing would be going on.

01:27:49.000 Um, one last question.

01:27:51.180 Let's go to infrastructure.

01:27:53.160 The GOP went out of their gourd.

01:27:56.460 And I believe rightly so for a stimulus package for roads and bridges and tunnels and everything

01:28:02.260 else for $787, uh, uh, billion dollars.

01:28:07.280 I remember that number.

01:28:09.300 It's, it's burn seared into my memory of $787 billion.

01:28:14.760 Um, now the president is proposing a trillion dollar stimulus package and the Republicans are

01:28:24.040 very excited about it.

01:28:25.620 Can you tell me what made the $787 billion stimulus package an affront on the constitution

01:28:32.840 and this one, a dream come true?

01:28:36.600 Well, um, I can't point to any distinguishing characteristic between the two as to why this

01:28:43.660 one would be good and that one bad.

01:28:46.320 In fact, uh, look, when I look at the constitution, uh, I, I see the powers of Congress being limited.

01:28:53.500 Uh, there are the enumerated powers, most of them in article one, section eight.

01:28:57.300 And they talk about things like the power to provide for our national defense, to declare

01:29:01.380 war, to regulate trade between the states with foreign nations and with Indian tribes.

01:29:06.400 Um, I don't see anything in there that says that it's the prerogative of Congress to create

01:29:13.820 all infrastructure.

01:29:15.200 Now, look, it's one thing if we're talking about an interstate corridor, uh, here or there,

01:29:19.980 but it's another thing entirely.

01:29:21.620 If we're talking about wholesale top to bottom soup to nuts, uh, transportation infrastructure,

01:29:27.540 even intrastate projects, uh, I, I think whether we're talking about on the, under the Obama

01:29:32.860 administration or any subsequent administration headed by a Republican or a Democrat, I think

01:29:37.980 we've got to look carefully at what we're doing there.

01:29:40.360 Not every transportation infrastructure is necessarily outside of Congress's, uh, authority

01:29:45.480 because, uh, some of them do involve a distinctly interstate function, uh, but where they don't,

01:29:52.200 we've got constitutional problems.

01:29:55.180 Mike Lee, always good to talk to you.

01:29:57.260 Thank you so much, sir.

01:29:58.040 Appreciate it.

01:29:59.260 Thank you very much.

01:30:00.180 It's good to be with you.

01:30:01.520 So positive.

01:30:02.580 Yeah.

01:30:02.960 Thank you very much.

01:30:04.060 Boring as snot.

01:30:05.120 Oh, I love him.

01:30:06.640 He's saving my hope in the entire country right about now.

01:30:09.740 He is so good and so smart.

01:30:13.360 And, you know, he's just tickled pink by, you know, I love, I love because you know he's accurate.

01:30:20.580 But when you're talking to him and, and cause he's like this all the time.

01:30:24.960 Well, I mean, in section 508, subsection B paragraph four, you'll see, and he did that

01:30:30.940 like four times during this.

01:30:32.220 You just have to get used to that's the way he is.

01:30:34.840 He's that guy.

01:30:35.440 And he's, that's why he is so good and so needed in the Senate.

01:30:40.400 I want to give you this from the New York post today.

01:30:43.240 Bank fees rise to an all time high.

01:30:46.500 The average customer now pays $666 a year in banking fees.

01:30:56.040 Satan.

01:30:57.260 Right?

01:30:58.040 Right?

01:30:59.400 This is how it happens.

01:31:00.700 The overdraft revenue from the top three banks has surged from 5.1 billion to 5.4 billion dollars.

01:31:12.780 That's what they make if you overdraft.

01:31:17.000 5.4 billion dollars.

01:31:20.800 Does anybody remember that we're providing them?

01:31:24.700 It's a service that we're providing them as well.

01:31:27.980 We're giving them our money so they can loan it out to other people.

01:31:33.360 No, they don't care anymore.

01:31:35.320 They do not.

01:31:35.620 Now, the service fees are going through the roof.

01:31:40.600 No one seems able to stop them.

01:31:43.540 We now have countries that are going cashless.

01:31:46.680 Why?

01:31:47.640 Because it will trap your money in these banks. 0.96

01:31:50.780 You won't be able to withdraw it unless they say you can withdraw it.

01:31:53.900 And you can only withdraw a certain amount.

01:31:55.420 That allows them to charge you whatever because you can't take your money out of a bank.

01:32:02.780 The cashless society is coming.

01:32:06.600 So what have you done to prepare yourself for trouble or a cashless society?

01:32:13.680 Nobody's saying put everything in stocks or land or food or gold or whatever.

01:32:19.860 However, would you consider putting 10% of what you have into gold and spreading the risk out?

01:32:29.340 I don't know how things are going to shake out.

01:32:32.040 But boy, when I started saying these things 10 years ago, I couldn't have imagined how crazy it would be and we're still taking it.

01:32:40.780 How much crazier is the world going to be before finally the world snaps and says, okay, enough.

01:32:47.400 And when it does, what does that mean?

01:32:50.860 Call Goldline today and ask for their updated free cashless society risk report.

01:32:56.100 This is really important that you're up on this information.

01:32:58.900 Read their important risk information and find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.

01:33:03.060 But call them now.

01:33:04.000 1-866-465-3546.

01:33:06.720 1-866-465-3546.

01:33:09.540 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.

01:33:14.400 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:17.980 Mercury.

01:33:19.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:33:25.400 We're just talking about David Letterman in the break.

01:33:28.860 He is a cranky old get off my lawn kind of guy.

01:33:33.940 But he has been since he was, you know, for a long time.

01:33:38.360 Yeah.

01:33:38.520 He's been this way for 20.

01:33:40.180 I contend.

01:33:41.080 He got worse, though.

01:33:42.340 He got worse.

01:33:43.200 They say.

01:33:43.980 I mean, he was bad enough to begin with as far as not being a nice guy.

01:33:48.700 But after he started losing to Leno, it was not good from then on.

01:33:54.980 And he wasn't happy with anybody or anything.

01:33:57.140 Is there a story about Mel Gibson?

01:33:59.720 Oh, when he was doing Late Night, one of their guests canceled at the last minute.

01:34:05.140 And so his producer, Barry Sand, was able to book Mel Gibson.

01:34:08.900 How do you book Mel Gibson at the last minute?

01:34:11.080 Pretty amazing.

01:34:11.960 So he went to David and said, hey, we got Mel Gibson.

01:34:14.540 It's like, who the hell wants Mel Gibson?

01:34:17.860 I don't want Mel Gibson.

01:34:19.760 So they booked, I don't remember the guy's name.

01:34:25.420 Kamar the Discount Magician instead.

01:34:28.460 Ah.

01:34:28.980 Kamar the Discount Magician.

01:34:31.140 No, he's much better than Mel Gibson.

01:34:32.520 Much better than Mel Gibson.

01:34:34.060 That's the guy I want.

01:34:35.620 Who wants Mel Gibson when I can get Kamar the Discount Magician?

01:34:40.200 Right?

01:34:40.660 Am I right?

01:34:41.300 But that's Letterman.

01:34:42.260 Right.

01:34:43.020 That's Letterman.

01:34:43.640 So I found a gamer watching the Dave Rubin Report on Friday.

01:34:50.320 I found this guy who's a gamer who lives in San Francisco.

01:34:54.580 Libertarian.

01:34:55.760 But a conservative libertarian.

01:34:59.480 And he's fascinating.

01:35:02.260 Called him up.

01:35:02.940 He's on next.

01:35:04.480 Stand by.

01:35:08.960 We are one.

01:35:12.160 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:16.200 Mercury.

01:35:20.260 The Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:22.580 All right.

01:35:22.980 So I am on Friday.

01:35:25.340 I supported Sam B for her joke, which was awful and she felt terrible about it and she apologized.

01:35:36.040 She reached out personally.

01:35:38.360 All of that.

01:35:39.680 And my point was this joke police stuff has got to stop.

01:35:44.600 It wasn't right when they were doing it to us.

01:35:46.500 Why are we doing it back?

01:35:48.760 Well, I was persona na gratis for that.

01:35:53.140 On Twitter, I'm just the most evil man ever.

01:35:55.600 Um, and then I, it came to my attention that there was somebody else on the conservative side that was in trouble for a joke.

01:36:06.520 On the day without a woman, uh, Colin Moriarty texted, ah, peace and quiet. 0.81

01:36:15.520 So now the left didn't like that at all.

01:36:21.060 And so I tweeted support.

01:36:23.600 And I said, as I supported Samantha Bee, I am also supporting Colin Moriarty.

01:36:28.600 Stop with the joke police.

01:36:30.780 Of course, it doesn't matter.

01:36:36.340 Can we actually engage and be thinking human beings for 10 minutes?

01:36:42.000 Can we do that?

01:36:43.420 Colin Moriarty joins us now.

01:36:45.640 He's the co-founder of kindoffunny.com and, uh, he's a, um, he's a gamer and welcome to the program.

01:36:53.420 Colin, how are you, sir?

01:36:55.300 I'm well, thank you so much for having me.

01:36:56.820 It's a, it's very surreal.

01:36:58.240 I appreciate you taking the time.

01:36:59.800 And why do you say it's very surreal?

01:37:02.480 Uh, well, my father and I, uh, you know, well, I grew up with my father, uh, listening to talk radio and kind of, uh, listening to all sorts of people.

01:37:10.300 And when I told him I was going to be out with you, uh, he said he got chills actually, because we used to, we used to listen to you and watch together.

01:37:16.740 Oh, that's wild.

01:37:17.700 That's wild.

01:37:18.700 Um, well, I am so glad that you've joined us.

01:37:21.220 I saw you on, uh, Dave Rubin's show, uh, and was fascinated by you because you say you're a libertarian, um, but you're also a proud conservative.

01:37:33.720 And if this was visual, you're all tatted up, you live in San Francisco and I can't imagine, it's one thing to say a libertarian, another thing to say a conservative in San Francisco.

01:37:47.060 What, how, how, how's that going for you?

01:37:50.380 Uh, not very well, as you can see.

01:37:52.780 Yeah.

01:37:53.120 Uh, but, uh, yeah, but, uh, no, I, I kind of take, uh, you know, the, I think the good parts of both sides and I think even the good parts of liberalism to come up with some amalgamation that makes sense to me.

01:38:02.880 Um, so I think, uh, socially, I think I'm very libertarian.

01:38:06.220 In fact, I think I'm more libertarian than many, you know, progressive liberals.

01:38:09.760 Um, but at the same time, I believe in the constitution.

01:38:12.120 I believe in deference to the founders.

01:38:13.600 I believe in a small government that stays out of your business.

01:38:17.040 Uh, the thing is, is that I mark those all together.

01:38:19.660 So a government that stays out of your business, uh, to tell you, you can have a gun, for instance, is the same, uh, it's the same government that I think should stay out of your business.

01:38:27.080 If a man wants to marry another man. 0.87

01:38:28.660 Yes.

01:38:29.000 Um, and I think that's where my libertarianism comes in the play.

01:38:30.960 It's why, Colin, it's why, you know, I was in this strange position 10, 15 years ago of saying, look, uh, you know, morally, my religion teaches one thing, but my constitutionalism tells me I have no place to tell anybody who can marry and who can't.

01:38:49.520 The government should be out of this entirely.

01:38:52.640 Don't affect my church and I won't affect your marriage.

01:38:56.160 Just leave each other alone.

01:38:58.060 Uh, and that creates some really strange bedfellows that we're currently trying to chase out of the public square.

01:39:05.980 And the, that's the answer.

01:39:09.020 Uh, I agree with you.

01:39:10.160 I mean, I, you know, this is where I think people have a hard time identifying people like me, Glenn, because, you know, I'm actually an atheist.

01:39:15.980 Uh, but I grew up in a Catholic household, uh, a very devoutly Catholic household.

01:39:21.140 Um, and you have a, you know, people of faith have a great, uh, a great ally because I believe that faith is a good thing.

01:39:27.620 Uh, I believe it's good for polity.

01:39:29.200 I think it's good for, for people to have faith in something and a higher being.

01:39:31.880 I just don't, but I would always protect to the very last a person's right.

01:39:35.860 For instance, to believe just because I don't believe doesn't mean, as you said, you can't believe.

01:39:40.480 Um, and so I also respect, you know, I'm pro-choice, but I respect the pro-life argument.

01:39:44.360 I think it's a very principled argument.

01:39:45.800 I think it's good that there are people out there that are challenging my beliefs.

01:39:49.340 Um, and so, you know, this is, this is kind of the confusing thing.

01:39:52.660 This kind of, um, this kind of thought policing, uh, that's happening.

01:39:57.040 This, this very, um, you know, I'm considered an enemy to liberalism, even though I share many of their values because I believe the government should stay out of your business.

01:40:04.920 So I'm the enemy.

01:40:06.560 Isn't it strange to see how people have flipped on almost every point just because their guy is not in office?

01:40:14.720 Now liberals are concerned.

01:40:16.740 They're concerned about, um, uh, um, you know, uh, executive orders, but they weren't under Obama.

01:40:24.340 And now the people who were concerned about executive orders under Obama are fine with it now.

01:40:29.960 It's crazy.

01:40:32.140 To me, I agree with you.

01:40:33.700 It's insane.

01:40:34.200 I mean, I, you know, as people that listen to me and, and, and know me, I go off on politics often and, you know, I was disgusted with the Republican party.

01:40:41.140 I was a registered Republican.

01:40:42.460 Um, and I, you know, I'm not a Trump fan at all.

01:40:44.820 I, I, I was sickened by how people took what I thought Republicanism was and, and, you know, morphed it into something that it wasn't simply to win.

01:40:55.060 And to me, that's not, that's not principled.

01:40:57.980 And I'd rather lose and retain my principles.

01:41:00.540 So when it was clear, Trump was going to, was going to win here in California, we vote very late.

01:41:04.640 As you know, I voted for Kasich as a protest vote.

01:41:07.640 Um, and then I disavowed the party completely.

01:41:09.900 Um, that doesn't mean I'm a conservative or I'm sorry, that doesn't mean that I'm not a conservative.

01:41:13.300 It means that I think that the conservative principles and the free principles that, that we stand upon, uh, were actually kind of taken away by people that, that don't really share our values.

01:41:21.380 Um, and it seems like it's all in the name of winning.

01:41:24.440 It's all in the name of, of being better than the other side.

01:41:27.340 There's no one talking to each other.

01:41:28.540 There's no gray area.

01:41:29.560 There's no, it's just all orthodoxy.

01:41:31.620 And it really makes me sick.

01:41:32.520 So, so help me out on what conservative, cause I, I don't know.

01:41:36.720 Uh, I mean, I know what Republicanism means now.

01:41:39.140 It means the same exact thing as, uh, as, uh, you know, being a Democrat, it means I'll do whatever I, it takes and whatever I have to, to win.

01:41:48.460 Um, but conservatives, what does it mean to be a conservative?

01:41:52.900 I mean, you're, you're 32 years old.

01:41:55.460 You're out in San Francisco.

01:41:57.180 Um, you're, you're a gamer, you do a, you know, you do a gaming kind of, uh, blog.

01:42:04.620 So who are the, the people you relate to?

01:42:09.460 What does that word even mean to them and to you?

01:42:14.680 Well, I, I think, you know, as you said, uh, you know, things are changing.

01:42:17.920 I think we're at an exlection point.

01:42:19.320 And to me, conservatism simply means in my mind, and everyone might have a different opinion on this.

01:42:23.840 I'm sure they do, you know, uh, a deference to the constitution, uh, if a, if the government can get out of something, it should get out of something.

01:42:30.000 If the state or, you know, the local or state government can take care of something over the federal government, I think that that's ideal.

01:42:36.060 To me, it's personal freedom, responsibility, the right to succeed and the right to fail, um, and the right to express yourself freely, um, without having to worry about being called a bigot or being called a sexist as I was for making a silly joke.

01:42:50.260 Um, and I'm glad you brought that up specifically because there are so many people that play video games.

01:42:55.580 There are so many people that enjoy entertainment that don't have anyone speaking for them.

01:42:59.940 The video game industry in the United States is out of San Francisco.

01:43:02.740 The media, which I come from, I used to be the senior editor of the biggest video game website in the world.

01:43:06.820 And two years ago, I quit to do my own thing with my friends, but it is exclusively liberal.

01:43:11.700 I am the only real conservative voice out there in what I would call, uh, mainstream media.

01:43:16.300 Obviously there are people on YouTube that do that as well in the gaming space.

01:43:19.460 And you'd be shocked about how many people talk to me every day and are like, you are the only person I can relate to.

01:43:25.060 I am a gun owner, for instance, you know, I'm not, but they're saying I am a gun owner, for instance, and I would be ridiculed and labeled by these other people, but you support me.

01:43:32.400 Or I'm a man of faith.

01:43:33.560 I'm a Christian or I'm Jewish or whatever it might be.

01:43:36.760 And you don't judge me for that.

01:43:38.380 Um, and so I think that there's, there's a conservative bent to gaming and a conservative bent to, you know, or an independent bent or a libertarian bent to those things that people are support.

01:43:48.180 But what I'm asking you is, does the word conservative mean any, the word itself, because what you're saying is to me, conservative has been so bastardized that it doesn't mean anything that we almost, and this is not the right word because it's so misunderstood, but almost classic liberalism.

01:44:08.240 Um, because I, I think, you know, everything is, I hope, and maybe this is wishful thinking, you will be able to tell me, is anybody in San Francisco waking up to the point of, hey, safe spaces is a restriction on speech.

01:44:25.120 And we're really starting to go down the roads of, of fascism.

01:44:29.360 And it's really kind of the progressive side that's, that's, that's pushing hard for it.

01:44:35.960 Uh, yes, there are some people, and I want to, I want to keep it in the scope of reality.

01:44:41.140 You know, there are people here that are waking up that said only 10%, and I'm not saying a vote for Trump is a good thing, but just as an illustration, only 10% of San Francisco voted for Trump.

01:44:50.400 So you're dealing with a very hyper liberal society here in San Francisco, um, that supports those things more than anything.

01:44:56.620 But there are people, even in the gaming industry that are waking up to this and think this stuff is so silly.

01:45:01.620 And, and Glenn, I've expressed it in the past. Uh, I went to Northeastern in Boston and I studied American history and I couldn't imagine, you know, I graduated in 2007 and I couldn't imagine being in college now where people are restricted.

01:45:13.260 I took a bunch of classes on Nazi Germany, for instance, or the civil war, the bloodiest conflict, as I'm sure you know, as you're very learned it, uh, in American history.

01:45:20.500 And I couldn't imagine how they might teach those things now, um, to kind of placate people or to make sure that they're coddled.

01:45:26.080 Um, and so, so yeah, there are people waking up, but what's disappointing to me is I'm one of the only ones speaking outwardly and I'm the proxy for a lot of people that are afraid to talk.

01:45:35.100 They talk to me, people at gaming companies, all the way up to CEOs of game companies down to the lowest trenches, as I told Dave, will talk to me and tell me, I believe what you say, but man, I'm afraid to say it because they're going to get ridiculed in the public population.

01:45:48.900 So then what makes you, what, what, what do you say to people like that? What makes you heroic, um, uh, and, uh, and, and them not willing to do something that is now considered heroic?

01:46:03.660 I think, you know, uh, I, I, I try not to judge anyone for that. I think that there's a real fear for people's jobs. These people have families. They don't want to be, you know, basically blacklisted, uh, from the industry. Um, as people have, you know, by, you know, the fact they'll kind of tried to do to me over the years.

01:46:21.880 And as you see, um, you know, with this joke, people came down, I mean, no one's offended by that joke, Glenn. I don't believe anyone. I don't know that joke. I agree. Nobody's offended by that. They've seen opportunity. They've seen opportunity to take down someone that speaks a different language than them. Yep. Um, so, so to me, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, go ahead. So do you. I was going to say, I was going to say, so to me, it's, it's just, I understand people's fear, but I'm also kind of getting exhausted by being their proxy because I know they're out there. Um, and you know, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, 0.76

01:46:51.880 I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was,

01:47:21.880 than people think it is hey i would i would be um uh it would be wrong of me to have you on

01:47:28.460 and because a lot of people that listen to you um don't like me because i have said quoting um

01:47:36.160 colonel i'm trying to remember his name he wrote on killing um and he is one of the he is the

01:47:42.420 leading expert uh on killing and uh and has developed all of these programs for the pentagon

01:47:50.540 to be able to get people to have a positive shooting experience how do we get guys to shoot

01:47:57.760 uh when they first get off the back of an airplane etc etc and he has said um and his research shows

01:48:05.680 that um video games help break down a mental wall that allow they don't they don't make you into a

01:48:13.260 killer but they break down a mental wall where it makes it easier for you to kill um and that is

01:48:19.920 somehow very controversial for me to even say i don't believe video games make you into a killer

01:48:25.560 i think you have something inside of you or don't have something inside of you but it does break down

01:48:31.900 a a wall do you want to tell me off for that i want to give your i want to give your fans an

01:48:38.600 opportunity to say yeah all right you told him i mean i have no interest in in telling anyone off

01:48:44.760 for a differing opinion or whatever like that you know but but but to me i'm not an expert in it i

01:48:49.520 haven't read the work you're talking about yes um what i will say is that it doesn't it doesn't

01:48:54.500 belie the least for me to say if a person plays grand that thought of five and he might already

01:48:58.600 have some pre-existing mental condition or some pre-existing propensity as you said to do something

01:49:03.400 already that running around in a car murdering people with it might set that person off is that

01:49:08.840 possible i'm sure that it probably is uh but i try to keep the numbers in balance this is actually a

01:49:14.180 similar argument to what i use uh with with the right to own a gun which is to say grand death auto

01:49:18.880 five which is a very violent very provocative game has sold 70 million units around the world one of

01:49:24.780 the best-selling games of all time if there are five people that play grand death auto five and go on

01:49:29.060 and and go on to kill someone because they were inspired by that i know it sounds kind of kind of

01:49:33.280 strange but that's a really almost mathematically insignificant number of people if that makes any

01:49:37.420 sense similarly to a person that has access to a gun should we none of us have access to a gun

01:49:42.180 because a mentally unstable person has access to a gun and kill them so i always defer you know it's 0.89

01:49:48.080 like the old benjamin franklin quote about you defer to liberty over over kind of security in that

01:49:53.380 regard and so i i take a similar stance there can something like that set someone off of course

01:49:58.160 i'm sure that's possible uh colin i'd love to talk to you again colin moriarty he is the co-founder

01:50:02.920 of kind of funny.com um and it's it's great meeting you really great meeting you thanks colin i appreciate

01:50:09.600 it thank you so much i appreciate it the amount of time i killed playing twisted metal back in the day

01:51:03.920 you know what's what's really interesting is um stew and i were talking some of these people come on

01:51:20.060 and they're um and they it's almost and i'm not saying this about colin but we've had other people

01:51:27.460 that almost uh want to make a point of yeah i'm conservative but i'm not on this and this and

01:51:35.600 this because it's it's there it's it's it's out of fear it's uh i want to make sure nobody puts me

01:51:42.400 into that box the same stuff colin was talking about right yeah i mean with the people he's talking

01:51:46.600 to in san francisco yeah and and so uh they appear to be the opposite kind of of who they are they're

01:51:54.780 almost a sheepish or apologetic uh conservative but again like i said to colin i don't know what

01:52:01.600 it means to be a conservative to the general public i know what it means to me this is the glenn beck
