The Glenn Beck Program - 6⧸20⧸17 - Is the left fine with violence？ (Steven Kotler Joins Glenn)

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

00:00:08.960 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:00:12.160 If there was a drug that could make you 500 times more creative in problem solving and thinking out of the box, would you take it?

00:00:25.500 Yes.

00:00:25.940 You would take it?

00:00:26.900 Yes.

00:00:27.240 There is a drug, and we have a guest coming up who is now working in Silicon Valley that says all of the billionaires in Silicon Valley are taking it.

00:00:39.140 And that's what's causing them to think out of the box.

00:00:43.100 The source on that, by the way, is Tim Ferriss, a guy who is extraordinarily credible and a guy who has experimented with his own body.

00:00:56.680 So this is like the limitless thing.

00:00:58.820 Exactly like that.

00:01:01.640 This is being done in conjunction with some Navy SEALs and some testing.

00:01:06.380 The drug, by the way?

00:01:08.980 Mescaline and LSD.

00:01:11.540 Yeah, man.

00:01:11.920 Wait until you hear the case Silicon Valley is trying to make for getting into the flow.

00:01:22.460 Amazing.

00:01:24.460 Amazing.

00:01:25.000 That's coming up in an hour from now.

00:01:26.860 Also, we have to share the amazing story of Tucker Carlson talking to this Democrat who has tweeted right after the shooting, tweeted,

00:01:43.060 hunt Republicans.

00:01:46.300 This guy is one of the more despicable human beings that I have heard for quite some time.

00:01:55.060 He is actually calling for, I think, would you agree, more violence?

00:02:02.600 At least more violent rhetoric.

00:02:03.840 Yeah, more violent rhetoric.

00:02:05.840 More violent rhetoric.

00:02:06.600 Meanwhile, CBS News has just a poll out that says Americans say that our political debate is increasingly uncivil.

00:02:14.820 And a remarkably sad story, an ending to the story of the kid that went to North Korea, tried to take a souvenir poster home on New Year's Eve,

00:02:32.340 was just sent home years later after being beaten, now we know, to death.

00:02:40.420 What is America going to do?

00:02:44.080 We give you that story right now.

00:02:46.460 I will make a stand.

00:02:49.880 I will raise my voice.

00:02:52.200 I will hold your hand.

00:02:54.620 Because we are one.

00:02:56.400 I will beat my drum.

00:02:58.660 I have made my choice.

00:03:00.900 We will overcome.

00:03:03.280 Because we are one.

00:03:05.280 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:03:08.180 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:03:15.640 In Cincinnati, there's a 22-year-old American college student that returned home last week.

00:03:24.320 He had been imprisoned in North Korea for 17 months.

00:03:28.900 He died in a Cincinnati hospital.

00:03:32.580 He had been home less than a week.

00:03:34.980 Now, the reason why the North Koreans sent him home is because they said he got botulism.

00:03:43.040 He was in prison and somehow or another, he got botulism.

00:03:47.820 And he went into a coma.

00:03:50.220 That excuse, doctors are now saying, is not an excuse.

00:03:55.220 It is a slap in the face to America, to our intelligence.

00:04:03.680 As Otto Warmbier came home to Cincinnati, greeted by his parents,

00:04:12.840 He was unable to speak, he was unable to see, he was unable to react to any verbal commands.

00:04:22.300 His parents said he looked so uncomfortable and in so much pain.

00:04:29.200 They knew they would never hear his voice again.

00:04:33.160 But they said, the look of anguish on his face within a day was gone.

00:04:40.800 They believe that he knew he was home.

00:04:49.620 He had severe brain damage.

00:04:52.900 One senior U.S. official told the New York Times

00:04:55.460 that intelligence reports show

00:04:58.080 that Warmbier had been repeatedly beaten.

00:05:03.640 Beaten

00:05:04.200 into a vegetative state.

00:05:10.200 Now, since the 1990s,

00:05:12.820 16 Americans

00:05:13.920 have been detained by North Korea.

00:05:16.380 And during that time,

00:05:17.580 it's incredibly rare to see evidence

00:05:19.480 of abuse or torture.

00:05:20.920 North Koreans have been very, very careful. 0.92

00:05:23.000 They don't want to give humanitarian groups

00:05:26.540 any, you know,

00:05:27.840 any cause to

00:05:30.540 protest.

00:05:32.860 They don't want to hand anybody more ammo

00:05:34.860 for criticism.

00:05:37.480 We're, by the way,

00:05:38.520 still technically at war.

00:05:41.460 I don't know if people really understand this,

00:05:43.680 but no peace treaty was ever signed

00:05:45.900 during the Korean War.

00:05:47.880 We are still technically at war.

00:05:50.180 We have an armistice.

00:05:53.760 We have a,

00:05:54.340 we have a,

00:05:55.640 a standoff.

00:06:00.040 So now,

00:06:01.620 why,

00:06:03.140 at the brink of war,

00:06:05.140 with three

00:06:07.340 carrier battle groups,

00:06:10.340 the only time the United States

00:06:12.460 has ever had

00:06:13.960 three carrier battle groups

00:06:15.800 in one region,

00:06:16.800 it has been because

00:06:18.620 we were about

00:06:19.620 to go to war.

00:06:21.980 War always 0.95

00:06:23.340 follows

00:06:24.180 in the past.

00:06:26.820 War always 0.95

00:06:27.720 follows

00:06:28.380 three

00:06:29.260 carrier groups

00:06:30.360 in a region.

00:06:32.760 So,

00:06:33.580 why,

00:06:34.400 when we have

00:06:35.260 all of that firepower,

00:06:37.200 did the North Koreans 0.92

00:06:38.080 break

00:06:38.600 decades of pattern

00:06:40.180 to deliver us

00:06:41.140 a broken,

00:06:42.180 beaten,

00:06:43.040 and clearly

00:06:44.060 tortured

00:06:45.080 American citizen?

00:06:46.800 he was murdered

00:06:52.000 by the Kim family

00:06:53.900 syndicate.

00:06:56.120 And I,

00:06:56.620 I want you to understand that

00:06:57.840 because it's,

00:06:58.420 it's not a nation.

00:07:00.960 This is a group of people

00:07:02.740 held hostage

00:07:03.620 by gangsters.

00:07:06.020 Kim Jong-un

00:07:06.920 made

00:07:07.580 this Cincinnati,

00:07:09.520 20-year-old Cincinnati

00:07:10.980 resident

00:07:12.800 resident

00:07:13.500 into a

00:07:18.000 Corleone-style

00:07:19.600 message.

00:07:24.020 This is what the mob does. 0.85

00:07:27.180 They beat or kill

00:07:28.720 and dump the body

00:07:30.080 on your doorstep.

00:07:31.320 And that's exactly

00:07:32.200 what they did.

00:07:33.660 he was killed

00:07:36.940 and beaten

00:07:37.640 not because he

00:07:38.980 took a poster

00:07:40.000 or tried to take

00:07:41.060 a poster.

00:07:42.260 He was beaten

00:07:43.380 because he was

00:07:44.020 an American citizen

00:07:45.140 and his death

00:07:46.460 was meant

00:07:47.000 to intimidate us.

00:07:49.980 Why would he

00:07:51.060 break decades

00:07:52.480 of a standoff?

00:07:54.160 Well, I think

00:07:59.980 the answer

00:08:00.440 is found here.

00:08:02.560 How exactly

00:08:03.440 do we

00:08:04.040 respond to this?

00:08:06.860 We're at war.

00:08:08.020 Is this not

00:08:08.500 a war crime?

00:08:12.740 The State Department

00:08:13.860 should be demanding

00:08:14.960 those responsible

00:08:15.780 to be held

00:08:16.460 accountable.

00:08:17.540 But North Korea

00:08:18.440 is never going to

00:08:19.140 comply.

00:08:21.380 But we at least

00:08:22.820 owe that

00:08:23.620 to the family

00:08:24.520 of this victim.

00:08:28.980 Why would

00:08:29.880 Kim Jong-un

00:08:31.000 do this

00:08:32.620 at this time?

00:08:34.620 Secretary of Defense

00:08:35.840 James Mattis

00:08:36.720 said that a war

00:08:38.240 with North Korea

00:08:39.300 quote,

00:08:39.960 will be catastrophic

00:08:41.280 and the worst

00:08:42.860 kind of fighting

00:08:43.860 in most people's

00:08:45.260 lifetimes.

00:08:46.480 End quote.

00:08:50.000 Is it possible

00:08:51.340 that we have

00:08:52.480 waited

00:08:52.860 and waited

00:08:53.920 and waited

00:08:54.940 and waited

00:08:55.980 and pussyfooted 1.00

00:08:57.980 around with

00:08:58.720 North Korea

00:08:59.440 to the point

00:09:00.860 of no return?

00:09:02.800 And now

00:09:03.120 North Korea

00:09:03.900 knows

00:09:04.980 we don't

00:09:06.020 want to fight.

00:09:06.960 They know

00:09:08.000 they have

00:09:08.660 the upper hand

00:09:09.520 and now

00:09:10.980 the tail

00:09:11.760 is going to

00:09:12.360 wag the dog.

00:09:13.200 multiple battle

00:09:16.920 carrier groups

00:09:17.820 are sitting

00:09:18.540 off the coast

00:09:19.240 of North Korea.

00:09:21.560 They can't

00:09:22.480 sit there

00:09:22.940 forever.

00:09:26.040 Capitulation

00:09:26.520 on our side

00:09:27.260 is not an

00:09:27.900 option.

00:09:30.040 The only way

00:09:31.000 out we have

00:09:31.620 said is if

00:09:32.700 Kim Jong-un

00:09:33.640 gives up and

00:09:34.320 dismantles his

00:09:35.060 nuclear and

00:09:35.600 missile programs.

00:09:38.720 Do you think

00:09:39.600 he's going to do

00:09:40.100 that?

00:09:40.360 Was this

00:09:42.260 the sign

00:09:42.900 of a guy

00:09:43.620 dumping a

00:09:45.280 body off

00:09:45.820 on our

00:09:46.120 doorstep?

00:09:47.420 Is that

00:09:48.100 not the

00:09:50.200 answer

00:09:50.740 of what

00:09:52.140 I'm going

00:09:52.540 to do

00:09:52.900 with our

00:09:53.300 nuclear

00:09:53.740 missiles?

00:09:55.320 Yeah,

00:09:55.640 am I going

00:09:55.920 to stop

00:09:56.300 them?

00:09:56.560 No,

00:09:56.720 I just

00:09:56.980 dumped a

00:09:57.540 body

00:09:57.820 on your

00:09:58.160 front

00:09:58.460 doorstep.

00:10:01.780 Here's the

00:10:02.380 thing.

00:10:03.300 He's worried

00:10:04.100 about the

00:10:04.540 survival of

00:10:05.200 his regime.

00:10:05.900 He can't

00:10:08.300 be perceived

00:10:08.980 as giving

00:10:09.640 in to the

00:10:10.140 United States

00:10:10.820 of America.

00:10:12.260 He is

00:10:12.980 escalating

00:10:13.780 this and

00:10:15.720 we are

00:10:16.060 moving closer

00:10:16.920 to war.

00:10:19.400 The question

00:10:20.460 is, what

00:10:22.200 will we

00:10:23.080 do?

00:10:25.020 What

00:10:25.660 should we

00:10:26.400 do?

00:10:29.000 What

00:10:29.640 comes

00:10:30.280 next?

00:10:32.500 More in a

00:10:33.340 second.

00:12:14.620 You're listening

00:12:15.680 to the Glenn

00:12:16.320 Beck Program.

00:12:16.960 Warmbier

00:12:19.860 has just

00:12:20.380 passed away.

00:12:22.120 He spent

00:12:22.920 a year and

00:12:23.320 a half

00:12:23.620 in North

00:12:24.120 Korea.

00:12:25.880 A lot

00:12:26.420 of bad

00:12:26.700 things

00:12:27.000 happened,

00:12:27.920 but at

00:12:28.820 least we

00:12:29.100 got him

00:12:29.400 home to

00:12:29.760 be with

00:12:30.060 his parents

00:12:30.740 where they

00:12:32.620 were so

00:12:33.540 happy to

00:12:34.080 see him

00:12:34.940 even though

00:12:35.360 he was

00:12:35.880 in very

00:12:36.980 tough

00:12:37.240 condition,

00:12:37.820 but he

00:12:38.000 just passed

00:12:38.440 away a

00:12:38.720 little while

00:12:39.020 ago.

00:12:41.340 It's a

00:12:41.940 brutal

00:12:42.240 regime

00:12:42.900 and

00:12:45.000 we'll be

00:12:46.600 able to

00:12:46.920 handle it.

00:12:48.060 I don't

00:12:48.580 know exactly

00:12:49.100 what that

00:12:49.520 means.

00:12:49.980 We're going

00:12:50.240 to be able

00:12:50.540 to handle

00:12:50.940 it because

00:12:51.320 I don't

00:12:51.560 know what

00:12:51.820 I would

00:12:52.080 do if

00:12:52.340 I were

00:12:52.540 in his

00:12:52.800 position.

00:12:54.160 I mean,

00:12:54.400 what would

00:12:54.680 you do if

00:12:55.100 you're

00:12:55.240 president of

00:12:55.740 the United

00:12:55.960 States and

00:12:56.420 you wake

00:12:56.760 up?

00:12:56.940 That's why

00:12:57.220 you don't

00:12:57.480 want to be

00:12:57.860 president of

00:12:58.320 the United

00:12:58.480 States because

00:12:59.120 somebody is

00:12:59.820 always waking

00:13:00.740 you up from

00:13:01.360 a nap to

00:13:02.600 say,

00:13:03.080 Mr.

00:13:03.360 President,

00:13:03.760 there's a

00:13:04.080 problem.

00:13:04.920 I don't want

00:13:05.760 to wake up

00:13:06.220 every day like

00:13:06.740 that.

00:13:07.160 These are big

00:13:07.680 problems,

00:13:08.240 too.

00:13:08.440 These are

00:13:08.800 huge.

00:13:09.220 We've got the

00:13:09.460 Russian thing

00:13:09.960 going on in

00:13:10.540 Syria and

00:13:11.160 we've got this

00:13:11.700 North Korean

00:13:12.180 deal.

00:13:12.780 Are we going

00:13:14.440 to let them

00:13:14.740 just get away 0.90

00:13:15.300 with it?

00:13:15.760 Are you going

00:13:16.220 to just

00:13:16.480 lob missiles?

00:13:17.740 No.

00:13:18.400 You're going

00:13:18.860 to assassinate

00:13:19.360 that fat

00:13:19.780 bastard.

00:13:21.120 I mean,

00:13:23.960 that would

00:13:24.300 be the only

00:13:24.960 thing that

00:13:25.580 you could

00:13:26.260 come into

00:13:26.620 my office

00:13:27.220 without an 0.62

00:13:28.340 actual

00:13:28.740 professional

00:13:29.340 briefing.

00:13:30.840 If you

00:13:32.020 guys,

00:13:32.540 if I were

00:13:32.880 president,

00:13:33.660 let's laugh

00:13:34.120 about that,

00:13:34.680 and you

00:13:35.160 guys were

00:13:35.740 my cabinet.

00:13:37.300 Man,

00:13:37.780 would we

00:13:38.160 be in

00:13:38.440 trouble?

00:13:39.000 If this

00:13:39.340 is the

00:13:39.620 best

00:13:40.020 information

00:13:40.620 I get,

00:13:41.600 I'm going

00:13:42.120 for you,

00:13:42.680 Pat.

00:13:43.260 I'm going

00:13:43.820 to put

00:13:44.080 that

00:13:44.280 operation

00:13:44.900 together.

00:13:45.960 Although

00:13:46.360 it's

00:13:46.600 legally

00:13:47.040 barred.

00:13:47.880 I know.

00:13:48.720 I know.

00:13:49.940 I would

00:13:50.880 say to

00:13:51.420 you,

00:13:51.820 Pat,

00:13:52.180 this is

00:13:52.840 what I

00:13:53.080 would say

00:13:53.360 to you,

00:13:53.700 Pat.

00:13:54.500 I'd be

00:13:55.000 very

00:13:55.240 disappointed.

00:13:55.980 If I

00:13:56.280 find out,

00:13:57.160 if I

00:13:58.080 ever found

00:13:58.620 out that

00:13:59.080 you put

00:13:59.680 something

00:14:00.000 like that

00:14:00.460 together

00:14:00.880 and had

00:14:01.260 that done

00:14:01.840 by the

00:14:02.220 end of

00:14:02.460 the week,

00:14:02.780 I would

00:14:03.060 be very

00:14:03.660 pissed.

00:14:04.300 Why would

00:14:04.480 you say

00:14:04.720 by the

00:14:04.940 end of

00:14:07.780 the

00:14:08.640 week or

00:14:09.540 somewhere

00:14:10.020 around

00:14:10.660 there?

00:14:11.500 I would

00:14:11.880 be very

00:14:12.580 upset.

00:14:13.320 Of course,

00:14:13.700 was it the

00:14:14.100 80s when

00:14:14.680 we supposedly

00:14:15.380 made that

00:14:16.640 illegal?

00:14:17.500 Yes,

00:14:17.800 we did.

00:14:18.480 Reagan,

00:14:19.100 right?

00:14:19.360 Reagan.

00:14:19.900 Yeah.

00:14:20.560 And we

00:14:21.100 shouldn't

00:14:21.540 assassinate. 0.67

00:14:22.560 No,

00:14:22.960 of course

00:14:23.320 not.

00:14:23.740 Not as a

00:14:24.460 general rule.

00:14:24.660 We should

00:14:24.860 never admit it.

00:14:26.120 Just when

00:14:26.540 you really

00:14:26.800 want to?

00:14:27.380 Yeah.

00:14:27.680 Just when

00:14:28.100 you really

00:14:28.420 need to,

00:14:28.860 like with

00:14:29.120 this guy.

00:14:30.060 Well,

00:14:30.360 I mean,

00:14:30.680 I don't know

00:14:31.260 what you do

00:14:31.680 or how you

00:14:32.100 handle this,

00:14:32.580 but there's

00:14:33.520 got to be

00:14:33.800 sanctions.

00:14:34.560 Hang on

00:14:35.280 just a

00:14:35.540 second.

00:14:36.200 Let's just

00:14:36.660 play devil's

00:14:38.520 advocate because

00:14:40.580 I know there

00:14:41.480 have got to

00:14:42.160 be some

00:14:42.640 people that

00:14:44.000 are thinking

00:14:44.740 just leave

00:14:45.920 it alone.

00:14:46.660 Just leave

00:14:47.100 it alone.

00:14:48.080 Just don't

00:14:48.720 do anything.

00:14:49.640 What are the

00:14:50.120 ramifications of

00:14:51.100 not doing

00:14:52.140 anything?

00:14:53.540 You open

00:14:54.360 yourself up for

00:14:55.200 more of the

00:14:56.060 same.

00:14:56.940 And that's

00:14:57.240 where we're

00:14:57.500 at now by

00:14:58.020 not doing

00:14:58.440 anything,

00:14:58.880 right?

00:14:59.120 Yeah.

00:14:59.420 With this

00:14:59.880 guy.

00:15:00.600 Well,

00:15:00.800 yeah,

00:15:01.100 that's why

00:15:02.180 this kid is

00:15:02.740 dead because

00:15:03.260 Obama did

00:15:03.980 nothing.

00:15:04.460 Right.

00:15:05.700 He did

00:15:06.500 nothing.

00:15:07.120 Although,

00:15:07.560 though,

00:15:08.700 they said

00:15:09.240 that he

00:15:09.580 went into

00:15:10.040 this coma

00:15:10.700 soon after

00:15:12.040 being captured.

00:15:13.420 Well,

00:15:13.760 of course,

00:15:14.100 they did.

00:15:14.300 Soon after

00:15:15.540 they beat

00:15:16.080 the crap

00:15:16.600 out of

00:15:16.940 him and

00:15:17.200 knocked

00:15:17.820 him into

00:15:18.160 a coma.

00:15:18.780 But what

00:15:19.160 I'm saying

00:15:19.500 is if

00:15:19.760 you brought

00:15:20.460 him back,

00:15:21.020 he still

00:15:21.400 would have

00:15:21.600 been in

00:15:21.820 a coma.

00:15:22.620 Whether he

00:15:22.980 would have

00:15:23.200 died right

00:15:23.620 away.

00:15:23.920 We don't

00:15:24.420 know how

00:15:25.020 soon it

00:15:25.440 was,

00:15:25.800 though.

00:15:26.240 I think

00:15:26.840 they said

00:15:27.160 within a few

00:15:27.640 weeks,

00:15:28.040 right?

00:15:28.200 Well,

00:15:28.340 no,

00:15:28.560 but you

00:15:29.200 don't.

00:15:29.740 You remember

00:15:30.400 the days.

00:15:31.160 I remember

00:15:32.660 the days.

00:15:33.440 I got up

00:15:35.500 this morning

00:15:35.920 and I

00:15:36.180 thought,

00:15:37.120 there are

00:15:38.480 so many

00:15:39.120 millennials

00:15:39.580 that are

00:15:40.060 working here

00:15:40.680 now and

00:15:41.660 so many

00:15:42.180 people that

00:15:42.660 are 20,

00:15:43.360 25 years

00:15:43.960 old.

00:15:44.360 They do

00:15:45.160 not remember

00:15:46.280 an America

00:15:47.180 before 9-11.

00:15:49.620 They don't

00:15:50.380 remember that.

00:15:52.040 So,

00:15:52.420 they've always

00:15:53.920 been in a

00:15:54.880 world where

00:15:55.540 the American

00:15:56.160 passport was

00:15:57.100 a target.

00:15:57.680 When I was

00:15:59.020 growing up,

00:15:59.580 the American

00:15:59.960 passport was

00:16:00.960 like,

00:16:01.460 back off,

00:16:02.580 Jack.

00:16:03.700 Nobody would

00:16:05.040 touch an

00:16:05.660 American citizen.

00:16:06.980 You're not

00:16:07.420 going anywhere

00:16:08.080 and they

00:16:08.440 kidnap an

00:16:09.280 American citizen

00:16:10.160 or arrest

00:16:11.280 them.

00:16:11.760 They might

00:16:12.240 arrest you,

00:16:13.040 but they're

00:16:13.380 not going

00:16:13.640 to beat

00:16:14.300 you to

00:16:14.660 death because

00:16:16.420 they know

00:16:17.120 America will 0.92

00:16:18.080 respond.

00:16:19.880 American

00:16:20.320 passports were

00:16:21.380 a shield to

00:16:22.860 go anywhere.

00:16:23.740 Everybody wanted

00:16:24.640 an American

00:16:25.240 passport.

00:16:25.820 not now.

00:16:28.700 You have an

00:16:29.100 American passport.

00:16:30.240 They took

00:16:30.680 this guy.

00:16:31.140 It's one thing

00:16:31.740 to arrest

00:16:32.340 him and

00:16:33.340 convict him

00:16:34.360 for hard

00:16:35.060 labor or

00:16:35.860 whatever because

00:16:36.620 he stole a

00:16:37.800 poster or

00:16:38.520 tried to steal

00:16:39.140 a poster.

00:16:39.620 We don't even

00:16:39.840 know if he

00:16:40.120 actually stole

00:16:40.880 the poster.

00:16:41.580 Whatever.

00:16:42.320 But that's

00:16:43.000 one thing to

00:16:43.900 arrest him and

00:16:44.500 try him.

00:16:45.060 That's something

00:16:45.480 the old Soviet 0.71

00:16:46.060 Union would 0.63

00:16:46.620 have done.

00:16:47.340 But they

00:16:47.960 would not

00:16:48.780 have beaten

00:16:49.420 him.

00:16:49.940 They would

00:16:50.180 have made

00:16:50.440 sure that they

00:16:51.120 took care of

00:16:51.720 that guy.

00:16:52.220 Do not let

00:16:53.540 him die or

00:16:55.240 fall down

00:16:56.420 or have

00:16:57.620 a bowl

00:16:58.480 of botulism.

00:17:00.160 Let's make

00:17:00.760 sure he doesn't

00:17:01.380 do that.

00:17:02.220 I don't know

00:17:03.540 if this is

00:17:03.920 related but it

00:17:04.580 seems like

00:17:05.100 there's now

00:17:06.300 a huge

00:17:07.340 industry into

00:17:08.300 saying how

00:17:09.220 bad the

00:17:10.760 American

00:17:11.180 country is

00:17:13.460 and what

00:17:13.860 we stand

00:17:14.660 for.

00:17:15.360 The left

00:17:15.780 people don't

00:17:16.980 remember this

00:17:17.460 now but at

00:17:18.700 the time when

00:17:19.500 this guy was

00:17:19.860 captured the

00:17:20.480 left attacked

00:17:21.080 him.

00:17:21.660 Yes.

00:17:22.380 They wrote

00:17:23.060 white privilege

00:17:24.080 stuff.

00:17:25.820 Bustle wrote

00:17:27.420 why do people

00:17:28.300 blame Otto

00:17:29.280 Warmbier for

00:17:29.920 his North

00:17:30.460 Korea sentence? 0.63

00:17:31.600 Privilege can

00:17:32.180 sometimes come

00:17:33.180 at a price.

00:17:34.840 Privilege?

00:17:36.260 North Korea

00:17:37.320 proves your

00:17:38.080 white male

00:17:38.800 privilege is not

00:17:39.980 universal.

00:17:41.240 Ha ha ha ha ha.

00:17:43.040 Salon this

00:17:43.760 might be

00:17:44.060 America's

00:17:44.500 biggest idiot

00:17:45.440 frat boy.

00:17:46.620 Meet the

00:17:46.940 UVA student

00:17:47.760 who thought

00:17:48.200 he could pull

00:17:49.580 and prank in

00:17:50.220 North Korea.

00:17:50.780 Salon.

00:17:53.060 I will tell

00:17:53.800 you that if

00:17:54.760 this were my

00:17:55.420 son at the

00:17:56.340 time and if

00:17:58.200 he would have

00:17:58.600 called me I

00:18:00.140 would have

00:18:00.420 said are you

00:18:01.940 crazy?

00:18:02.780 What the hell

00:18:03.500 were you doing?

00:18:04.580 It was obviously

00:18:05.280 not a good

00:18:05.760 decision.

00:18:06.320 Not a good

00:18:06.620 decision.

00:18:07.280 But then you're

00:18:07.780 calling the

00:18:08.280 State Department

00:18:08.880 and you're

00:18:09.600 asking him what

00:18:10.320 are you doing

00:18:10.780 to get my

00:18:11.460 son out of

00:18:11.860 there.

00:18:12.640 Someone's

00:18:13.060 life is a

00:18:13.440 sick.

00:18:13.660 And apparently

00:18:14.560 according to

00:18:15.060 the father the

00:18:17.100 family was told

00:18:18.040 hey keep a low

00:18:18.860 profile by Obama.

00:18:20.780 Keep a low

00:18:21.340 profile.

00:18:21.920 Don't make

00:18:22.200 any waves.

00:18:24.420 And this is the

00:18:25.300 result of that.

00:18:25.980 He pretty much

00:18:26.260 credited Trump

00:18:27.220 for getting this

00:18:27.860 done.

00:18:28.040 Yes he did.

00:18:28.540 Here.

00:18:29.140 It's interesting.

00:18:29.760 I mean I don't

00:18:30.120 know if North

00:18:31.580 Korea actually

00:18:32.720 gave him up

00:18:35.320 because they

00:18:36.000 thought he was

00:18:36.560 on the verge

00:18:36.920 of death and

00:18:37.480 didn't want

00:18:37.780 them to die

00:18:38.360 on their soil.

00:18:40.280 Because it's

00:18:40.820 interesting that

00:18:41.340 he would be

00:18:41.800 over there and

00:18:42.540 be in a coma

00:18:43.080 for what is

00:18:43.780 reported 16,

00:18:44.820 17 months and

00:18:45.800 then come over

00:18:46.240 here two days

00:18:46.740 later and die. 0.69

00:18:47.720 So maybe he

00:18:48.240 was just on life

00:18:48.880 support the whole

00:18:49.440 time.

00:18:49.800 And they

00:18:50.960 just brought

00:18:51.280 him back and

00:18:51.740 he was just

00:18:53.220 all artificial and

00:18:54.300 he was alive in

00:18:54.820 the first place.

00:18:55.360 I don't know.

00:18:56.600 Salon also a

00:18:57.480 frat boy Otto

00:18:58.440 Frederick Warmbier

00:18:59.320 gets the nightly

00:19:00.200 show treatment he

00:19:01.140 richly deserves.

00:19:03.020 And then there's a

00:19:03.520 thing a picture of

00:19:04.700 Larry Wilmore who

00:19:07.020 was the host of the

00:19:07.720 nightly show and

00:19:09.040 he's got a little

00:19:09.700 acronym Alpha Sigma

00:19:11.480 Sigma but in big 0.98

00:19:12.680 letters at the top

00:19:13.400 A-S-S 1.00

00:19:14.440 ass. 0.70

00:19:14.940 over his picture

00:19:16.660 they're calling

00:19:17.180 him an ass. 0.98

00:19:18.540 Isn't that funny?

00:19:19.660 Interestingly enough

00:19:20.440 Otto Warmbier actually

00:19:22.160 did outlive the

00:19:23.500 nightly show.

00:19:24.280 We can say that.

00:19:26.660 Just in case anyone

00:19:27.580 was keeping track.

00:19:29.640 But I mean this is

00:19:30.400 despicable.

00:19:31.380 The guy was I mean

00:19:32.100 yes he made a

00:19:32.720 mistake.

00:19:33.140 Yes it was a

00:19:34.240 silly mistake.

00:19:35.460 I mean just going

00:19:36.040 there.

00:19:36.300 I mean I want to go

00:19:37.560 to North Korea.

00:19:38.220 I've always wanted to

00:19:38.780 go to North Korea 0.94

00:19:39.300 because I find it to

00:19:39.940 be a fascinating place.

00:19:41.100 But I'm never going

00:19:42.160 to go to North

00:19:42.980 Korea.

00:19:43.440 Wait we could send

00:19:44.740 you there on special

00:19:46.640 assignment.

00:19:47.480 Pat are you into

00:19:48.100 with me on this one?

00:19:48.820 Oh yeah.

00:19:49.480 Special assignment.

00:19:50.580 That's a good idea

00:19:51.220 Glenn.

00:19:51.640 Thank you.

00:19:52.100 I thought so too.

00:19:52.980 What can you imagine

00:19:53.720 the reporting you'd be

00:19:54.820 able to do?

00:19:55.200 My gosh.

00:19:56.240 You can finally see

00:19:57.120 that hotel.

00:19:57.900 That giant hotel.

00:19:58.720 Yeah.

00:19:59.300 And you can talk

00:19:59.960 about what a rat hole

00:20:00.880 the place is.

00:20:01.540 Normally I would

00:20:02.080 say really loudly.

00:20:02.260 Well when you come

00:20:02.920 back what I'd really

00:20:04.080 like is like a poster

00:20:05.280 from the wall of one

00:20:06.380 of those hotels.

00:20:07.200 That's nice.

00:20:07.760 That would be great.

00:20:08.920 I appreciate it.

00:20:10.660 You can't.

00:20:12.240 Blame the kid.

00:20:14.680 You don't beat people

00:20:16.620 to death for trying

00:20:18.220 to take a New

00:20:19.480 Year's Eve poster.

00:20:20.680 This is the Glenn

00:20:21.220 Beck Program.

00:20:23.160 Mercury.

00:20:26.940 The Glenn Beck

00:20:28.500 Program.

00:20:30.720 So last night we were

00:20:33.980 saying our prayers

00:20:34.820 before the kids go to

00:20:36.100 bed and said a long

00:20:40.980 involved prayer for

00:20:42.580 Donald Trump last

00:20:43.500 night because we

00:20:45.680 are, I don't wish

00:20:50.720 his position on any

00:20:53.780 man.

00:20:54.880 If you just look at

00:20:56.340 what has happened in

00:20:57.520 the last 24 hours, I

00:20:59.880 don't know how we get

00:21:01.280 around these things, but

00:21:02.840 we really need to come

00:21:04.460 together because there's

00:21:06.780 real trouble ahead.

00:21:10.600 What was it, yesterday

00:21:12.480 or the day before

00:21:13.560 Syria time, the U.S. 0.98

00:21:16.320 shot a fighter jet down.

00:21:19.200 We had a Syrian fighter

00:21:20.420 jet and it was a dogfight. 0.96

00:21:22.520 I mean, when's the last

00:21:23.200 time the United States was

00:21:24.400 in a dogfight with

00:21:26.680 another plane?

00:21:28.600 Um, we, uh, shot him

00:21:33.720 down because this Syrian 1.00

00:21:35.780 fighter jet had just

00:21:37.480 bombed superior, uh, Syrian 1.00

00:21:40.380 rebel forces.

00:21:41.320 Well, we are there to help

00:21:43.600 the Syrian rebel forces.

00:21:47.640 There was a time, uh, during

00:21:51.260 the last presidency that I

00:21:53.520 would have applauded that

00:21:55.600 kind of action.

00:21:57.620 Um, and I'm sure there's

00:21:59.580 a lot of people still that

00:22:01.240 will still applaud that

00:22:03.220 action, but here's the

00:22:05.460 problem with this latest

00:22:07.500 escalation into our

00:22:09.160 intervention into Syria.

00:22:10.740 So we have North Korea 0.87

00:22:12.160 that is bubbling over.

00:22:14.440 I don't know what the

00:22:15.660 president should do.

00:22:18.020 And now, because we did

00:22:20.120 nothing in Syria for so 0.96

00:22:23.220 long and the Russians know 0.76

00:22:25.600 um, a, how weak we have

00:22:29.780 been and the Syrians know

00:22:32.160 how weak we have been.

00:22:33.600 Now Donald Trump comes in

00:22:35.220 and is like, we're, we're

00:22:36.060 not weak anymore.

00:22:37.380 Well, the Russians are 1.00

00:22:39.040 desperate with oil at $47

00:22:42.540 a barrel right now.

00:22:45.140 Oh, Russia is collapsing

00:22:47.600 everything outside of

00:22:49.820 Moscow, all of the, all of 0.93

00:22:52.280 the towns and, and farmlands

00:22:54.600 that are surrounding, uh,

00:22:56.700 Moscow outside of the main

00:22:58.960 cities of Moscow.

00:22:59.940 Everything is defaulting.

00:23:02.420 They are in real trouble.

00:23:05.220 They need a game changer.

00:23:08.060 So the problem with this is

00:23:10.140 there's not any good guys in

00:23:12.080 this scenario.

00:23:13.100 You know, when we used to be

00:23:14.140 able to cheer during the

00:23:16.740 Olympics as kids, because we

00:23:18.500 knew China and Russia were 0.92

00:23:20.640 bad and, you know, America and

00:23:23.700 England and Australia, we were

00:23:25.200 good and we were a team and

00:23:26.620 they were a team.

00:23:28.160 That's not the way the world

00:23:29.320 is right now.

00:23:30.740 There is no, you know,

00:23:33.340 Australia in the Middle East.

00:23:36.540 There's, there's no, there's no

00:23:37.860 England.

00:23:38.280 There's no Thomas Jefferson guy

00:23:39.760 who's like, you know, Tom,

00:23:41.400 Tom Payne, you should write

00:23:42.540 some, because all the stuff we're

00:23:43.500 talking about is common sense.

00:23:44.820 You know, the Mahdi crawling out 1.00

00:23:46.240 of a well, coming back, you

00:23:48.020 know, after thousands of years

00:23:49.460 hiding in the well, coming

00:23:51.140 back to wash the world in

00:23:52.600 blood.

00:23:52.920 That's common sense.

00:23:53.880 Everybody knows it.

00:23:54.720 No, no, there's no Thomas

00:23:57.180 Payne, Thomas Jefferson in this

00:23:58.980 area.

00:24:00.280 So we are just like in North

00:24:03.860 Korea now.

00:24:05.260 We are looking at bad and worse

00:24:08.800 options.

00:24:10.020 And here's why.

00:24:11.600 We know what the Russians are 1.00

00:24:13.380 doing.

00:24:13.660 The Russians are just trying to 1.00

00:24:16.420 broker a deal in the Middle

00:24:18.120 East.

00:24:18.500 That's all they're trying to do.

00:24:20.120 They want to be the power in

00:24:23.580 the Middle East.

00:24:24.480 That's why they're in with Syria. 1.00

00:24:26.720 That's why they're in with Iran. 1.00

00:24:29.600 Iran is sweeping now across Iraq 1.00

00:24:33.060 and into Syria.

00:24:34.620 They're looking to build a

00:24:36.540 crescent-shaped power and their

00:24:39.200 own little caliphate.

00:24:40.540 ISIS now is starting to fade into

00:24:44.260 the background.

00:24:44.800 But we're saying we're there

00:24:46.220 fighting ISIS.

00:24:47.500 Well, we are and we aren't.

00:24:50.700 We let ISIS foster and grow. 0.70

00:24:54.160 And now what we're doing is trying

00:24:56.000 to hold Iran back from taking Iraq 0.99

00:25:00.100 and Syria.

00:25:01.340 And Russia is on the side of Syria 0.92

00:25:04.000 and Iran.

00:25:04.780 So let's just look at the bad

00:25:08.900 guys here.

00:25:09.400 You have the oppressive Bashar 1.00

00:25:12.140 Assad government forces which

00:25:15.300 are battling against ISIS and the

00:25:18.780 U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic

00:25:20.460 forces.

00:25:21.600 Well, they're Democratic.

00:25:23.320 They're Democratic.

00:25:24.480 That's good.

00:25:25.480 No.

00:25:26.620 Just like the former socialist

00:25:29.240 republics that all had Democratic

00:25:32.120 people's republic.

00:25:35.300 No.

00:25:36.820 These guys are now the PKK.

00:25:39.720 These guys are really bad.

00:25:42.340 They're Kurds in Iraq and there 1.00

00:25:44.720 are Kurds in Syria.

00:25:46.500 The Kurds in Syria are Marxist, 0.99

00:25:49.280 Leninist, revolutionary terrorists.

00:25:52.180 And they're the guys that we are

00:25:54.740 backing.

00:25:55.660 So we're supporting them.

00:26:02.140 What are we doing here?

00:26:06.580 Who are we really backing?

00:26:09.580 We've been down this road so many

00:26:11.980 times in Iran with the Shah,

00:26:15.420 Pinochet in Chile,

00:26:17.860 Noriega in Nicaragua,

00:26:20.880 the Contras, Batista in Cuba.

00:26:23.080 I mean, we keep making the same

00:26:25.840 mistake over and over and over

00:26:27.060 again.

00:26:27.840 We support or prop, you know, a

00:26:30.480 dictator up one after the other.

00:26:32.480 And then there was the complicated

00:26:34.940 mess in Bosnia where we back the 0.69

00:26:37.800 Muslim majority while bombing the 1.00

00:26:39.660 Christian minority into submission. 1.00

00:26:42.360 And let's not forget the recent

00:26:44.280 disasters backing the initial Muslim 1.00

00:26:46.840 brotherhood leadership in Egypt and

00:26:49.580 the situation in Libya, which is still a

00:26:52.340 monumental mess.

00:26:54.860 All of these issues are complex and

00:26:58.200 they're all tribal.

00:27:00.060 They're all people who have been

00:27:01.080 warring with each other for a thousand

00:27:03.160 years.

00:27:04.880 And there were compelling reasons that

00:27:06.620 we took action before each of them.

00:27:09.020 But there were better reasons each time

00:27:11.300 to stay out of the mess.

00:27:13.380 The decision to intervene in a civil war

00:27:18.040 and coups and regime changes over the

00:27:21.640 years have been made both by the

00:27:23.560 Republicans and the Democrats.

00:27:25.880 Neither party is immune from the

00:27:28.340 temptation to mess up other people's

00:27:31.340 lives.

00:27:32.820 But in the civil war in Syria, the stakes

00:27:36.320 have never been higher.

00:27:37.960 After shooting down the Syrian plane the 0.95

00:27:40.340 other day, Russia threatened to target any

00:27:43.820 American jet that strays into Russian

00:27:46.160 protected space.

00:27:48.340 Well, that's anything west of the

00:27:50.480 Euphrates.

00:27:51.560 That's almost all of Syria. 0.96

00:27:53.400 Syria, they also not only say we're now

00:27:58.560 pitting the Soviets or the former 0.98

00:28:00.460 Soviets with the United States, we're 1.00

00:28:03.320 going to take the MiGs and our F-18s and

00:28:07.300 go head to head.

00:28:08.960 They've also cut off all communication on

00:28:11.420 the battlefield.

00:28:15.080 Pray for our president.

00:28:16.500 Because almost anything we do now is a

00:28:23.840 disaster.

00:28:25.460 The last thing anyone should want is a

00:28:28.720 direct military conflict between the two

00:28:30.900 most powerful nuclear armed nations on

00:28:33.280 earth.

00:28:35.480 What we need to do is lead from behind.

00:28:40.200 We have started to begin this lie that

00:28:44.020 we don't count, but we do.

00:28:48.160 The entire world is pushing us into chaos.

00:28:53.060 The entire world is in commotion.

00:28:59.400 I wouldn't be surprised to see the sun hide

00:29:04.240 its face and the moon turn blood red and

00:29:07.020 the stars fall from the sky.

00:29:09.500 The entire earth is in commotion.

00:29:12.540 And there are wars and there are rumors of

00:29:15.760 wars.

00:29:17.440 We need to let our leaders know that

00:29:21.260 cooler heads must prevail here.

00:29:24.740 And long term, it's important, imperative,

00:29:29.480 that the United States of America go back

00:29:32.140 to our founding principles and stay out of

00:29:35.180 foreign entanglements.

00:29:36.360 When we respond, we have to respond with

00:29:42.540 overwhelming, frightening, terrifying, and

00:29:46.480 awesome power on any direct threat to us,

00:29:51.340 any hit on us.

00:29:54.360 But when it comes to everybody else's

00:29:56.740 foreign mess, we need to keep our nose out of 1.00

00:30:00.160 it and mind our own business.

00:30:02.840 Everything else is just a repeat of the

00:30:07.500 disasters of the last 100 years.

00:30:11.860 Now this ProFlowers has come out with the

00:30:14.060 ultimate solution to ensure that you

00:30:15.960 remember the dates that matter.

00:30:18.920 How many of us have ever forgotten a

00:30:22.140 birthday of our wife?

00:30:23.820 Any of us?

00:30:24.600 Anybody willing to admit?

00:30:26.240 Jeffy's willing to admit?

00:30:27.300 I'm willing to admit.

00:30:29.780 I did once.

00:30:30.620 Yeah.

00:30:30.960 I did once.

00:30:32.380 Once.

00:30:33.340 Once.

00:30:33.820 You really learned.

00:30:34.620 That was more than enough.

00:30:35.940 Yes.

00:30:36.740 Yes.

00:30:37.060 More than enough.

00:30:37.680 You don't need a second time around on

00:30:39.320 that.

00:30:39.520 You never have?

00:30:40.660 No, never have.

00:30:41.800 But I also have the, well, when were you

00:30:45.600 married?

00:30:46.160 I'm the shortest of everybody, right?

00:30:47.800 Yeah.

00:30:48.120 So, I mean, I've just got plenty of time

00:30:49.600 to screw it up.

00:30:50.700 Well, let me just say this.

00:30:52.720 I'm the guy here in this crew that's

00:30:55.300 been married twice, so I clearly know

00:30:58.260 twice as much than anybody else on how

00:31:01.020 to make a marriage work.

00:31:02.060 That's an interesting perspective.

00:31:03.100 I've got double the experience.

00:31:04.480 Anyway, here's what I recommend.

00:31:06.880 I recommend that you go to ProFlowers.

00:31:09.040 They have the ultimate solution.

00:31:10.900 It is called the ProGifter service.

00:31:14.980 When you go to ProFlowers.com, you click

00:31:17.840 on their brand new ProGifter service, and

00:31:19.780 this is what it does.

00:31:20.740 You can put three different bouquets,

00:31:23.680 three different locations, three different

00:31:26.380 names, three different dates, and you put

00:31:30.140 them in there, and it's on automatic

00:31:32.000 delivery.

00:31:33.780 So, for the next year, for three deliveries

00:31:36.240 of flowers, you don't have to worry about

00:31:38.380 it, and all of it for $99.

00:32:03.520 Go to ProFlowers.com.

00:32:05.040 If you're thinking of an occasion you're

00:32:14.080 It's ProFlowers.com.

00:32:18.400 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:22.400 Mercury.

00:32:26.280 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:28.280 Next hour, I want to share with you a couple of things.

00:32:35.040 A new insight about who we are and where we are as people and the way out.

00:32:46.240 There is an interesting set of books that I've been reading as I've been looking for this

00:32:54.820 answer for the last six months.

00:32:57.560 I've kind of narrowed it down to five books, and I've been teaching it here at the studios

00:33:05.080 and looking for some assistance from some of the writers of these books to come in and help

00:33:16.880 steer me in the right place so I really understand it, and then share it with you.

00:33:24.120 I want to share one of them, one of these observations next that I had reading a book.

00:33:32.360 And then in hour number three, we have the authors of a new book called Stealing Fire.

00:33:42.280 And it is the new thing now to what's being called get into the flow.

00:33:50.220 And the flow is something that you can induce, they say, with meditation, but also they say

00:34:00.160 that you can get into the flow by taking a very small amount of LSD and mescaline.

00:34:06.020 And they are saying that this is happening in Silicon Valley.

00:34:09.920 The real disruptors are all altering their mental state.

00:34:14.920 And if I haven't read this book, I've read some of this book.

00:34:20.360 And if I'm not mistaken, I think they're actually advocating.

00:34:26.760 And some of these guys are like the Navy SEALs are experimenting with these things.

00:34:32.060 And DARPA.

00:34:33.760 I mean, it sounds very...

00:34:35.780 What was the Red Skull?

00:34:38.020 Who was the Captain America came after at first?

00:34:44.860 It wasn't the Red Skull that was experimenting with drugs that make you superhuman. 0.76

00:34:52.800 I was like, you know, racking my mind going through history.

00:34:54.560 Like, which one is he talking to?

00:34:55.540 The Nazi regime? 0.51

00:34:56.540 Is this the...

00:34:57.160 No, you're talking about Captain America.

00:34:59.480 Yeah, right.

00:35:00.540 Yeah, that was real.

00:35:01.420 That was the Nazi regime. 0.90

00:35:02.800 Anyway, but the Nazis did do this.

00:35:04.980 They were looking for things that make you superhuman.

00:35:08.600 And we're apparently doing that too.

00:35:11.700 And this is a case that it's a good thing.

00:35:14.020 I don't think I'm going to be convinced.

00:35:16.440 But that was the reports with LSD forever, right?

00:35:19.020 I mean, the CIA created that for our military.

00:35:21.460 And then it broke loose into the public, which created the 60s movement, right?

00:35:26.860 They're saying that it's such a low dose that it doesn't cause any of those psychedelic effects.

00:35:31.120 But one, like, 100 milligrams, I don't remember, I don't want to give the exact dosage, but

00:35:39.440 they say it's really, really small, and that you don't, almost don't even feel it in your

00:35:45.000 system.

00:35:45.680 And unlike other shows, we were telling you to try this at home.

00:35:49.780 No.

00:35:50.140 Just experiment with it.

00:35:51.380 See how much you can handle.

00:35:52.520 No, actually we're not.

00:35:53.960 What is mescaline?

00:35:54.980 I'd have to go to Jeffy on that.

00:35:56.020 Jeffy.

00:35:56.440 What is mescaline?

00:35:57.640 I actually forget what mescaline is.

00:36:00.340 Because that was like a 60s drug.

00:36:01.920 Yeah, it was definitely a 60s and early 70s drug.

00:36:05.900 It was a, I wanted to tie it in with LSD because I can't remember exactly what it is.

00:36:11.760 But I think mescaline was a.

00:36:15.280 Stimulant?

00:36:15.820 Taken from some sort of plant.

00:36:19.260 But I don't know.

00:36:20.180 LSD was, you know, obviously mad made.

00:36:22.940 And I don't remember.

00:36:23.780 I just don't remember.

00:36:24.520 Yeah, it looks like it is a hallucinogenic drug.

00:36:28.800 That's what happens when you take too much of it.

00:36:29.860 Yeah.

00:36:31.200 What was it used for?

00:36:33.180 Was it used for treatment of anything?

00:36:36.380 Affects a comparable to those of LSD.

00:36:40.800 Occurs naturally in the peyote cactus.

00:36:45.100 Was a plant.

00:36:46.060 You got that right.

00:36:46.680 You know your drugs.

00:36:47.680 I mean, don't test them on that.

00:36:49.080 Seriously, Jeffy really is our drug expert.

00:36:50.800 He knows his drugs.

00:36:52.160 Whenever I have a question.

00:36:53.000 We go to the doctor and we call up Jeffy.

00:36:54.960 Jeffy, what do you think about this?

00:36:56.540 Double up on this.

00:36:57.460 Take another one of those.

00:37:00.280 You're welcome.

00:37:02.080 Also, we have new poll numbers out on the United States.

00:37:06.620 And where do we, what do we perceive?

00:37:10.020 Seven percent of the American population believe that the political rhetoric in America is getting better.

00:37:16.960 I want to meet those people.

00:37:18.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:22.000 Mercury.

00:37:36.680 The Blaze Radio Network.

00:37:41.380 On demand.

00:37:42.560 Hello, America.

00:37:46.380 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:49.100 There is a new poll out.

00:37:51.140 Shows most Americans feel like there is real problems in our communication with other fellow Americans.

00:37:58.700 But that's crazy talk.

00:38:01.480 What is it?

00:38:02.180 Six percent?

00:38:02.820 Seven percent?

00:38:03.600 Say that it's getting better?

00:38:04.880 Seven percent.

00:38:05.680 Yeah.

00:38:06.100 Yeah.

00:38:06.340 Say it's getting better.

00:38:07.560 Oh, yeah.

00:38:07.800 Things are great.

00:38:08.460 I'd like to, I'd like to meet those seven percent and beat the snot out of it, quite frankly. 0.99

00:38:13.840 But are we getting better or are we getting worse?

00:38:17.560 I think we're getting worse as evidence on something that happened with Tucker Carlson last night.

00:38:22.360 We'll get into that here in just a second.

00:38:24.400 But not only, not only that, how do we get around this?

00:38:31.360 Other than just admiring the problem, how do we solve this?

00:38:36.680 I have a new attitude on this that I'm going to be laying some of the foundational work on here in the next few months.

00:38:44.280 And I want to bring you along for the ride and hear your opinion.

00:38:49.740 Because to me, and I've shared it with a lot of people here recently in the building, and it makes an awful lot of sense to me.

00:38:57.720 And I want to start there with Tucker Carlson and what happened last night with a liberal who said it's okay to hunt Republicans.

00:39:05.200 We go there right now.

00:39:06.540 I will make a stand, I will raise my voice, I will hold your hand, because we are one.

00:39:16.560 I will beat my drum, I have made my choice, we will overcome, because we are one.

00:39:25.220 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

00:39:29.220 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:39:32.800 Now there's a lot of things today that are really disturbing.

00:39:40.600 Al Franken was talking about, hey, let's not move so fast with impeachment.

00:39:47.320 Telling the Democrats, let's not move so fast with impeachment because Mike Pence is worse.

00:39:54.860 And at the same time, it just shows that there's just not an honest bone in any of their bodies.

00:40:00.120 It's not really about Donald Trump and his tweets and his incivility or anything like that that they say it is.

00:40:07.340 It's just the fact that he's a Republican for many of them.

00:40:12.020 And then on the flip side of that, you have Keith Oberman, who, thank God, nobody is watching.

00:40:18.900 But he is speaking in terms of revolution.

00:40:26.360 And he said something really disturbing a few weeks ago, and now he's saying it again, just in a different way.

00:40:33.520 This time he's saying, you know what, best that Donald Trump implodes than our country implodes.

00:40:40.900 You know, we never, ever, ever said anything like that about Barack Obama.

00:40:49.120 We, at least on this show, we prayed for his safety.

00:40:52.680 We prayed for good decisions to be made.

00:40:57.660 If he was making a bad decision, I know my prayer every night was,

00:41:01.500 Lord, if there are people that want to destroy the country, please thwart them.

00:41:09.180 Please help the president see the right decisions for the country.

00:41:14.440 Never did any of us want to see the president implode or go down in flames,

00:41:20.020 because conservatives, at least the ones I know, we were all saying the same thing.

00:41:25.020 If he goes down, we all go down.

00:41:27.260 Keith Olbermann is saying it's your responsibility now to help him implode.

00:41:34.320 That is so reckless.

00:41:38.120 But there are good people on the other side that have kind of lost their way,

00:41:47.240 and there are bad people on the other side who have just, or just bad people that just want to see us destroyed

00:41:55.300 and want a war, and I have news for you.

00:41:59.260 There are people on our side that have lost their way,

00:42:02.520 and people on our side that want a civil war.

00:42:05.260 I'm not into that.

00:42:08.000 I don't think that's the answer.

00:42:12.020 Listen to Tucker Carlson interview a progressive

00:42:17.860 who put out a tweet as a columnist right after the shooting last week

00:42:26.360 with the hashtag HuntRepublicans.

00:42:30.320 People were horrified, of course, by last week's assassination attempt

00:42:33.920 on Republican members of Congress, which wounded five people

00:42:36.960 and nearly killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

00:42:39.840 But most people apparently does not include some people,

00:42:43.260 including New Jersey Democratic strategist Jim Devine.

00:42:45.680 After the shooting, Devine tweeted this,

00:42:48.040 quote,

00:42:48.720 We are in a war with selfish, foolish, and narcissistic rich people.

00:42:53.060 Why is it a shock when things turn violent?

00:42:55.860 Hashtag HuntRepublicanCongressman.

00:42:58.640 After many people objected, Devine did not back down.

00:43:01.640 He followed up by tweeting this,

00:43:03.180 I'm sorry if my HuntRepublicanCongressman hashtag

00:43:05.820 hurt the feelings of any GOP snowflakes,

00:43:08.520 but you have not engaged in civil discourse, end quote.

00:43:11.540 We invited Jim Devine to come on the show,

00:43:13.460 and remarkably, he agreed.

00:43:15.400 He's brave, at least.

00:43:16.420 Jim Devine joins us tonight.

00:43:18.180 So, Jim Devine, under what circumstances

00:43:20.380 is it morally acceptable to use violence for political ends?

00:43:23.520 It's never acceptable to use violence for political ends,

00:43:28.140 except for perhaps in the most extreme cases,

00:43:30.420 I refer you to George Washington and those guys.

00:43:32.740 The fact of the matter is we do with ballots in this country

00:43:36.680 what they do with bullets elsewhere,

00:43:38.420 and it is not uncommon in politics

00:43:41.120 that we use the language of war.

00:43:43.740 We talk about fierce rhetoric.

00:43:45.560 We talk about camp, crusades, and so on.

00:43:49.520 You were on a television program,

00:43:51.200 and I don't know what your body count was

00:43:52.760 when you were on Crossfire.

00:43:54.480 I assume that there were no real casualties there.

00:43:56.660 Okay, now stop, stop, stop.

00:43:57.940 What is he saying there?

00:43:58.860 It's ludicrous.

00:43:59.420 What is he saying?

00:44:00.680 He's saying that we're used to this.

00:44:02.800 We're used to this.

00:44:03.800 This is violent rhetoric, sure, war rhetoric,

00:44:07.820 but there was no body count on Crossfire.

00:44:10.260 So he is accepting CNN's Crossfire.

00:44:15.140 C-N-N's Crossfire. 1.00

00:44:19.480 And saying that there was no body count.

00:44:22.200 And also, by the way, retroactively mocking

00:44:24.360 every Democrat's position in 2011.

00:44:28.180 Retroactively saying,

00:44:29.700 that was completely fine.

00:44:31.360 What do you mean?

00:44:31.800 It was on Crossfire.

00:44:33.100 You guys, was there any body count there?

00:44:35.020 Correct.

00:44:35.360 Now, that was the exact opposite position

00:44:37.180 they took when it was thought initially

00:44:40.440 that a Republican may have shot a congressperson.

00:44:44.040 Of course, that went, I'm not being true,

00:44:45.520 but when they thought it was true,

00:44:47.040 they said it was about the violent rhetoric.

00:44:49.200 It was.

00:44:50.080 We've got to stop the violent rhetoric.

00:44:51.580 Okay.

00:44:51.720 I mean, wait, I'll stop.

00:44:53.580 You know what?

00:44:54.700 I want to have a reasonable conversation.

00:44:56.600 I don't want to demagogue this,

00:44:57.580 but in the hours after five people were shot,

00:45:01.780 including the House Majority Whip,

00:45:03.140 you sent out a tweet that said,

00:45:04.480 hunt Republicans.

00:45:06.640 I mean, it was clearly a reference

00:45:07.900 to the assassination attempt

00:45:09.920 against Congressman Scalise.

00:45:12.040 It's hard to imagine

00:45:13.180 how you could justify writing something like that.

00:45:15.480 But in the immediate aftermath of the shooting

00:45:18.440 at the Sandy Hook School,

00:45:20.000 we've heard people say,

00:45:21.040 this is not the time to talk about gun violence.

00:45:24.280 We've heard lots of things follow this.

00:45:26.640 What does that have to do with it?

00:45:28.680 Yeah.

00:45:29.260 What does that have to do with it?

00:45:30.780 In the immediate aftermath,

00:45:33.040 we don't make policy decisions.

00:45:37.120 That's when you're emotional.

00:45:38.500 You don't,

00:45:39.600 you find out exactly what's going on.

00:45:42.900 It's, it's...

00:45:43.640 You make terrible decisions

00:45:44.680 when you're super emotional.

00:45:46.020 Do we need to talk about

00:45:46.980 the Duke Lacrosse team?

00:45:49.080 Yeah.

00:45:49.420 When things are at an emotional high,

00:45:51.520 you make really bad decisions

00:45:53.140 and you destroy people's lives. 0.81

00:45:55.900 That only makes sense.

00:45:57.880 You don't strike out in anger.

00:46:01.000 This also seems like

00:46:02.080 when you have your quarterback

00:46:03.400 and he gets hurt

00:46:04.420 and then your backup comes in

00:46:05.760 and he gets hurt

00:46:06.440 and then your third string guy

00:46:07.800 comes in and he gets hurt

00:46:08.720 and then you have to have

00:46:09.340 the punter be quarterback

00:46:10.220 for the rest of the game.

00:46:11.300 That's this guy's role

00:46:12.280 in the Democratic Party.

00:46:13.500 He is not good at this.

00:46:15.360 No.

00:46:16.000 But that's not what you were saying.

00:46:17.480 You were encouraging gun violence.

00:46:19.280 Wait, hold on.

00:46:19.660 Absolutely not.

00:46:20.180 You were encouraging gun violence.

00:46:21.940 Absolutely not.

00:46:22.620 You never encouraged gun violence

00:46:23.880 when I stated on my tweet.

00:46:25.240 What did you mean by that?

00:46:26.180 I put down that paper.

00:46:27.180 I'm talking about you,

00:46:28.020 not some other paper.

00:46:29.500 I mean, please.

00:46:29.840 This is what's been out there.

00:46:31.100 This has been going on for decades

00:46:32.840 when we see stuff like this.

00:46:34.420 And this is not an uncommon thing.

00:46:35.900 But we're not...

00:46:37.260 We saw...

00:46:38.340 So your excuse apparently

00:46:39.500 is other people have done it.

00:46:40.840 That's not an excuse.

00:46:41.440 I'm here to ask you

00:46:42.300 about something that you wrote

00:46:43.260 and why don't you explain it?

00:46:44.760 Why did you write

00:46:45.360 Hunt Republicans?

00:46:45.880 What I'm saying is that

00:46:46.060 for too long,

00:46:47.400 Republicans in this country

00:46:48.760 have failed to distinguish

00:46:50.480 the differences

00:46:51.240 between politics and war.

00:46:53.320 And a lot of Democrats

00:46:54.200 have failed to see

00:46:55.080 the similarities.

00:46:56.300 So you guys either

00:46:57.120 have to tone down the rhetoric

00:46:58.380 or we have to step up.

00:47:00.140 Unbelievable.

00:47:01.400 I don't think there's anything...

00:47:02.620 So by saying Hunt Republicans...

00:47:03.900 Hunt Republicans...

00:47:04.860 There's nothing wrong with that?

00:47:05.960 Sarah Palin put the crosshairs

00:47:08.060 on Congress.

00:47:08.920 Okay, stop.

00:47:09.300 I'm just saying Hunt Republicans.

00:47:10.900 But here's the difference.

00:47:12.240 Here's the difference.

00:47:13.660 This...

00:47:14.300 Sarah Palin did that before. 1.00

00:47:16.980 He did this within hours

00:47:19.640 of someone attempting

00:47:22.080 to assassinate.

00:47:24.160 He wasn't a shooter.

00:47:25.740 He's an assassin.

00:47:27.180 Sarah Palin's implication too

00:47:28.640 was target these districts

00:47:29.740 for election purposes.

00:47:31.460 His implication is

00:47:32.560 hunt them down and shoot them

00:47:33.900 because that happened

00:47:34.940 right after the shooting.

00:47:36.740 There's a target.

00:47:37.780 The district is different

00:47:39.240 than hunt Republicans.

00:47:41.920 Yeah.

00:47:44.180 What?

00:47:45.700 How do you hunt?

00:47:47.020 You hunt with a gun.

00:47:48.360 What was that guy doing?

00:47:49.780 He was hunting.

00:47:50.520 He had a list of people

00:47:52.460 he was trying to kill.

00:47:54.320 He was an assassin.

00:47:55.900 That's like after Oswald

00:47:58.740 you say hunt Soviets.

00:48:03.320 Hunt Russians in America. 1.00

00:48:06.020 Hunt Republicans then.

00:48:11.260 What are you talking about?

00:48:14.280 You don't use that

00:48:16.280 after someone has attempted

00:48:18.680 to assassinate someone.

00:48:20.500 I mean, obviously,

00:48:22.080 the timing there is crucial.

00:48:24.000 I mean, the Sarah Palin thing

00:48:25.260 and by the way,

00:48:25.920 Democrats were also using maps

00:48:27.720 with targets on them

00:48:28.720 at the exact same time.

00:48:30.640 It doesn't matter.

00:48:30.920 I know,

00:48:31.680 but there's been so overdone

00:48:34.280 and the press here

00:48:35.440 and the Democrats

00:48:36.580 and this is your point,

00:48:37.700 I think,

00:48:38.280 is we all know this.

00:48:40.400 Right.

00:48:40.640 We all know this.

00:48:42.880 Yeah.

00:48:43.560 It's an obvious thing.

00:48:45.200 Both sides have always done it.

00:48:46.520 This guy's point,

00:48:47.160 even his ridiculous point today

00:48:49.080 that the Democrats

00:48:49.760 need to start doing it more

00:48:50.980 isn't even valid.

00:48:51.840 But it's all a bizarre justification.

00:48:55.880 My guess is he at the moment

00:48:58.040 tried to do something controversial

00:49:01.080 so he would get attention

00:49:02.080 because we're in that age,

00:49:03.500 right?

00:49:03.620 The social media age

00:49:04.520 where here's an unknown

00:49:05.880 punter level quarterback

00:49:08.000 trying to make a name

00:49:09.680 for himself in the Democratic Party.

00:49:11.040 That is an insult

00:49:11.420 to all punters.

00:49:12.360 It is.

00:49:12.860 It is.

00:49:13.220 But that's why I said

00:49:13.840 punter level quarterback.

00:49:14.880 Punters are fine.

00:49:15.680 No, no, no.

00:49:16.200 That's an insult

00:49:19.140 to all punter level quarterbacks.

00:49:21.300 Okay.

00:49:21.980 This is the water boy

00:49:23.320 who is...

00:49:24.500 Oh my gosh.

00:49:25.140 Oh wow.

00:49:25.760 Holy cow. 0.89

00:49:28.000 This guy's not even in the stadium.

00:49:29.980 He has not seen a football.

00:49:31.140 He thinks football is soccer.

00:49:32.740 That's how far away he is.

00:49:34.160 And this is a guy

00:49:34.780 who thinks

00:49:35.440 saying something like this

00:49:36.800 will make him brave

00:49:37.760 so he can get on television

00:49:38.820 and stand out

00:49:40.100 from the other 9,000

00:49:41.540 Democrat consultants out there.

00:49:43.040 But this is not...

00:49:43.860 But he is a guy.

00:49:44.820 He is speaking a different...

00:49:46.880 He is speaking a different language 1.00

00:49:48.180 and I don't think

00:49:49.040 he is speaking American.

00:49:51.320 He might be speaking English

00:49:52.480 but he is not speaking American.

00:49:54.100 So the question is

00:49:55.300 why is he doing this?

00:49:58.940 I don't know.

00:50:01.180 Is this healthy?

00:50:02.760 No.

00:50:03.980 How do we respond?

00:50:07.140 That is what has tripped me up

00:50:09.380 for the last

00:50:10.760 probably four years.

00:50:13.060 you have been asking me

00:50:15.340 Glenn

00:50:16.280 how do we get out of it?

00:50:17.620 And I've given you

00:50:18.760 platitudes.

00:50:20.900 I've given you

00:50:22.260 well stick by your principles.

00:50:25.360 And quite honestly

00:50:26.520 and I've said this to you before

00:50:28.560 I've given up hope.

00:50:33.220 I mean

00:50:33.640 I've been lying to you

00:50:35.340 and I'm like

00:50:35.760 well there's a way out

00:50:37.180 we're gonna

00:50:37.740 I've been lying.

00:50:41.260 Because

00:50:41.860 I know there is

00:50:43.820 I just haven't been able

00:50:45.280 to find it.

00:50:46.260 I don't know what it is.

00:50:48.560 I have been doing

00:50:49.780 a lot of studying

00:50:51.060 and a lot of soul searching

00:50:53.000 in the last

00:50:54.100 eight months.

00:50:56.000 In the last four months

00:50:57.220 I've really

00:50:58.500 gone to work

00:51:00.040 and buckled down

00:51:01.220 and

00:51:01.820 got up off the floor

00:51:04.200 and said

00:51:04.700 okay

00:51:05.280 enough is enough.

00:51:08.160 The answer is

00:51:11.340 surrender

00:51:12.080 or find a new way

00:51:14.420 to live.

00:51:16.200 And

00:51:16.560 I knew I didn't

00:51:17.980 want to surrender.

00:51:18.700 I've been here before.

00:51:19.820 As an alcoholic

00:51:20.620 I was down on the floor

00:51:22.040 in

00:51:22.840 my apartment

00:51:24.180 that smelled like soup.

00:51:25.740 and I was

00:51:27.580 broke

00:51:28.200 and out

00:51:29.080 and I was on the floor

00:51:30.440 and I thought to myself

00:51:31.640 I'm either gonna die

00:51:34.320 and commit suicide

00:51:35.460 and I'm done

00:51:36.420 or I'm gonna stand up

00:51:39.440 and start again.

00:51:42.200 And I

00:51:43.080 didn't have

00:51:44.560 any idea

00:51:45.740 when I stood up

00:51:47.280 what it was gonna take

00:51:48.440 and for a long time

00:51:50.260 I didn't know.

00:51:52.340 I've done it again

00:51:53.680 and this time

00:51:55.500 I am at the beginning

00:51:57.080 of

00:51:57.640 really knowing

00:51:59.260 exactly

00:52:00.040 where we need to go

00:52:01.380 and I want to share

00:52:02.700 some of that with you

00:52:03.540 when we come back.

00:52:04.420 First

00:52:04.600 our sponsor

00:52:05.100 this half hour

00:52:05.600 Have you solved

00:52:06.320 the mystery

00:52:06.840 of why your apartment

00:52:08.160 building smelled

00:52:08.920 like soup?

00:52:10.200 Yes.

00:52:10.600 Have you solved that one?

00:52:11.580 Yeah.

00:52:11.860 There were a lot of old ladies 1.00

00:52:12.960 that lived in

00:52:13.920 And they made a lot of soup?

00:52:14.720 And they made a lot of soup

00:52:15.640 and the hallway

00:52:16.940 always smelled like

00:52:18.060 bad soup.

00:52:19.520 It did.

00:52:20.440 It did.

00:52:21.100 Remember?

00:52:21.580 It did.

00:52:21.820 Yes.

00:52:22.140 And I think it was

00:52:23.240 because a lot of

00:52:24.100 old people lived there

00:52:26.000 and they made soup

00:52:28.680 and their apartments

00:52:30.060 were all like

00:52:30.900 95 degrees

00:52:32.200 and so that soup

00:52:33.160 permeated everything

00:52:34.380 permeated everything

00:52:35.540 but anyway

00:52:36.540 LifeLock is our sponsor

00:52:38.900 this half hour

00:52:39.720 Somebody's identity

00:52:41.540 is stolen

00:52:42.300 every two seconds

00:52:43.800 every two seconds

00:52:45.600 It's summer vacation time

00:52:47.660 Scammers are hard at work

00:52:49.120 and they can be stolen

00:52:50.220 in so many ways

00:52:51.160 that you're not going

00:52:51.900 to detect it

00:52:52.580 especially if you're

00:52:53.500 just monitoring

00:52:54.740 your credit

00:52:55.460 Thieves can sell

00:52:57.200 your information

00:52:57.900 on the dark web

00:52:58.800 or get an online

00:52:59.680 payday loan

00:53:00.980 in your name

00:53:01.800 You will have

00:53:02.980 no idea

00:53:04.560 what hit you

00:53:05.120 and then

00:53:05.660 you're left

00:53:06.500 to try to clean it up

00:53:07.440 and trying to clean up

00:53:08.440 your record

00:53:10.380 from identity theft

00:53:11.680 is a nightmare

00:53:13.200 This is what

00:53:14.600 LifeLock does

00:53:15.540 They look

00:53:16.600 and try to detect

00:53:17.720 a wide range

00:53:18.920 of identity threats

00:53:19.980 Nobody can prevent

00:53:21.700 all identity theft

00:53:22.540 but they are the best

00:53:23.500 in the business

00:53:24.020 If they detect

00:53:25.200 that your information

00:53:26.020 is being used

00:53:27.660 or has been stolen

00:53:28.640 they will send you

00:53:29.520 an alert

00:53:29.880 and it says

00:53:30.720 hey

00:54:37.280 it's a good book

00:54:38.660 on you know

00:54:39.460 tribes

00:54:39.940 if you

00:54:40.400 if you

00:54:42.100 or anything like that

00:54:42.940 you know what

00:54:43.480 tribes are

00:54:44.380 in your company

00:54:46.420 and it's a good

00:54:47.400 management book

00:54:48.800 it's not

00:54:49.800 you know

00:54:50.580 it's not fantastic

00:54:51.280 it's not going to

00:54:51.860 change you know

00:54:53.000 everything on

00:54:53.720 management books

00:54:54.400 it's just a good book

00:54:55.640 but in my

00:54:57.180 as I'm reading this

00:54:58.540 what

00:55:00.340 came to mind

00:55:01.780 was

00:55:02.340 they're not

00:55:03.100 just talking

00:55:04.100 about

00:55:04.700 companies here

00:55:06.540 this is a

00:55:08.540 great way

00:55:09.360 to describe

00:55:10.220 where we are

00:55:12.100 in the United

00:55:12.980 States

00:55:13.500 and it talks

00:55:15.360 about five

00:55:16.280 stages of

00:55:17.120 tribes

00:55:17.660 and I'm going to

00:55:19.060 go over them

00:55:19.500 real quick

00:55:19.880 and then I want to

00:55:20.420 explain how this

00:55:21.900 goes into the

00:55:23.060 country

00:55:23.320 I'm going to

00:55:23.640 explain it

00:55:24.200 as it was

00:55:26.920 meant to be

00:55:27.480 explained

00:55:27.880 in workplaces

00:55:29.140 the first

00:55:31.180 stage of

00:55:31.880 tribes

00:55:32.280 is the lowest

00:55:33.040 stage

00:55:33.580 and it is

00:55:34.440 you know

00:55:35.520 a place

00:55:35.920 where everybody

00:55:36.980 thinks just

00:55:37.540 life sucks

00:55:38.380 I imagine

00:55:39.300 this is what

00:55:39.800 a lot of

00:55:40.180 DMVs are like

00:55:41.620 where

00:55:42.260 this life

00:55:43.820 sucks

00:55:44.800 and you have

00:55:46.120 you know

00:55:46.860 you have

00:55:47.160 fighting in the

00:55:48.200 hallways

00:55:48.900 you have

00:55:49.720 you know

00:55:51.220 high theft

00:55:52.560 everybody's just

00:55:54.220 miserable there

00:55:55.280 that's a really

00:55:56.580 bad place

00:55:57.280 high suicide

00:55:58.040 rates

00:55:58.720 I've never

00:55:59.960 worked in a

00:56:00.440 place like

00:56:00.840 that

00:56:01.140 but bad

00:56:02.020 the next

00:56:03.340 level

00:56:03.760 is

00:56:04.760 my life

00:56:05.780 sucks

00:56:06.300 because

00:56:07.020 first level

00:56:08.020 all life

00:56:08.740 sucks

00:56:09.040 just life

00:56:09.720 sucks

00:56:10.220 second level

00:56:11.980 is

00:56:12.400 my life

00:56:13.520 sucks

00:56:13.980 because

00:56:14.760 and it's

00:56:16.300 usually things

00:56:17.000 like

00:56:17.760 my life

00:56:20.540 sucks

00:56:20.840 because

00:56:21.140 I've got

00:56:21.600 this bad

00:56:22.140 boss

00:56:22.660 think of

00:56:23.540 the office

00:56:24.240 okay

00:56:25.100 they're all

00:56:26.200 they're

00:56:27.260 well in that

00:56:27.980 particular case

00:56:28.740 they're not

00:56:29.120 normal

00:56:29.400 but they're

00:56:29.800 they could

00:56:30.220 all go out

00:56:31.160 in real life

00:56:32.220 and be

00:56:32.680 generally

00:56:33.180 normal

00:56:33.880 you know

00:56:35.100 but it's

00:56:35.760 somebody

00:56:36.100 at work

00:56:36.860 not some

00:56:37.940 of them

00:56:38.260 yeah

00:56:38.440 but

00:56:39.060 but it's

00:56:40.160 because their

00:56:40.820 boss and their

00:56:41.560 work is so

00:56:42.360 crazy

00:56:42.980 and

00:56:44.020 nobody's getting

00:56:45.560 anywhere

00:56:46.040 nobody has a

00:56:46.700 chance of

00:56:47.300 advancement

00:56:48.360 the place is

00:56:49.580 never gonna

00:56:50.260 change

00:56:50.860 they've tried

00:56:51.380 all kinds of

00:56:52.040 stuff but

00:56:52.640 you know

00:56:53.360 yeah right

00:56:54.020 we're gonna

00:56:54.400 change

00:56:54.800 we've tried

00:56:55.260 that before

00:56:55.920 but my

00:56:57.060 life sucks

00:56:58.000 because

00:56:58.620 the third

00:57:00.380 level is

00:57:01.420 I'm okay

00:57:03.300 you suck 0.94

00:57:04.260 and that's

00:57:05.400 where people

00:57:05.880 at work

00:57:06.440 go

00:57:06.800 yeah don't

00:57:07.800 talk to

00:57:08.120 anybody else

00:57:08.540 I'll get

00:57:08.860 that done

00:57:09.220 just don't

00:57:09.820 worry about

00:57:10.160 it I'll get

00:57:10.540 it done

00:57:10.900 and there

00:57:11.640 are those

00:57:11.920 few people

00:57:12.540 that are

00:57:13.060 confident in

00:57:14.040 their abilities

00:57:14.740 they've

00:57:15.580 they work

00:57:16.060 the system

00:57:16.580 they can

00:57:16.940 get it

00:57:17.280 done

00:57:17.640 their life

00:57:18.800 is good

00:57:19.220 and they're

00:57:19.860 building up

00:57:20.680 to get

00:57:21.260 out of

00:57:21.900 there

00:57:22.220 okay

00:57:23.100 my life

00:57:24.940 my life

00:57:25.600 is great

00:57:26.120 I'm okay

00:57:26.820 it's just

00:57:27.600 everybody else

00:57:28.300 around here

00:57:28.900 there's two

00:57:30.240 more stages

00:57:30.860 above that

00:57:31.600 and you can

00:57:32.920 relate to these

00:57:33.840 if you've ever

00:57:34.520 worked in these

00:57:35.180 places before

00:57:35.880 but I want to

00:57:36.540 show you how

00:57:37.780 it applies to

00:57:38.880 us as

00:57:39.680 Americans

00:57:40.340 back in a

00:57:42.240 minute

00:57:52.220 the Glenn Beck

00:57:53.600 program

00:57:54.220 all right

00:58:04.220 talking about

00:58:05.900 a book called

00:58:06.760 tribal leadership

00:58:07.520 that I've been

00:58:07.960 working with

00:58:09.960 my staff on

00:58:10.960 and there are

00:58:11.880 about five books

00:58:12.600 that I want to

00:58:13.120 share with you

00:58:14.260 and I've been

00:58:15.200 talking about

00:58:15.760 some of them

00:58:16.260 on the television

00:58:17.620 show at five

00:58:18.300 o'clock

00:58:18.680 but I really

00:58:19.700 want to take

00:58:20.180 you along

00:58:20.760 for the ride

00:58:22.400 on this

00:58:22.700 because I

00:58:23.080 think it's

00:58:23.400 the answer

00:58:23.920 to America

00:58:24.760 I've been

00:58:25.160 looking for

00:58:25.580 some other

00:58:26.080 answers

00:58:26.500 internally

00:58:28.260 and externally

00:58:29.560 there's a

00:58:30.960 problem in

00:58:32.760 America that

00:58:33.360 we're all

00:58:33.720 feeling and

00:58:34.340 we all

00:58:34.840 know it

00:58:35.860 so now

00:58:36.160 let's

00:58:37.520 go back

00:58:38.120 to this

00:58:38.520 book

00:58:38.860 about

00:58:39.400 work

00:58:40.320 stage one

00:58:41.580 is life

00:58:42.300 sucks

00:58:42.680 stage two

00:58:43.520 is a

00:58:43.920 company

00:58:44.240 where

00:58:44.640 people say

00:58:45.880 my life

00:58:46.360 sucks

00:58:46.620 because of

00:58:46.900 my boss

00:58:47.540 because this

00:58:48.360 is in my

00:58:48.820 way

00:58:49.180 because of

00:58:49.680 education

00:58:50.260 because the

00:58:52.140 you know

00:58:52.920 the boss

00:58:54.020 has tried

00:58:54.960 things but

00:58:55.600 he's not

00:58:55.940 going to

00:58:56.180 stick to

00:58:56.700 them

00:58:57.000 there's always

00:58:57.980 an excuse

00:58:58.620 and what

00:58:59.060 happens

00:58:59.640 and it's

00:59:00.520 it's based

00:59:01.560 in reality

00:59:02.160 when I say

00:59:02.840 it's there's

00:59:03.800 always an

00:59:04.100 excuse

00:59:04.440 it's based

00:59:05.080 in reality

00:59:05.800 but what

00:59:06.720 happens is

00:59:07.380 it starts

00:59:08.060 to

00:59:08.620 it starts

00:59:11.140 to reward

00:59:12.380 entrenched

00:59:13.240 mediocrity

00:59:14.300 and it

00:59:15.680 calcifies

00:59:16.400 stage three

00:59:17.280 is I'm

00:59:17.800 okay

00:59:18.220 everybody else

00:59:19.060 here sucks

00:59:19.720 stage four

00:59:21.440 is really

00:59:22.740 where

00:59:23.540 very few

00:59:25.400 companies

00:59:26.080 ever get

00:59:26.700 most

00:59:27.560 companies

00:59:28.180 are in

00:59:28.960 stage two

00:59:29.900 or stage

00:59:31.100 three

00:59:31.600 stage four

00:59:33.520 is a

00:59:34.780 company where

00:59:35.300 everybody says

00:59:36.120 we're okay

00:59:37.600 we're doing

00:59:38.640 great

00:59:39.220 it's our

00:59:40.220 competition

00:59:40.920 that sucks

00:59:41.620 the problem

00:59:42.600 is outside

00:59:43.440 we're doing

00:59:44.380 a great job

00:59:45.120 but boy

00:59:45.500 do they suck 0.94

00:59:46.160 and where

00:59:47.240 you really

00:59:47.800 want to

00:59:48.120 get to

00:59:51.620 stage five

00:59:52.240 company

00:59:52.660 is

00:59:53.260 this is

00:59:54.300 great

00:59:55.000 I don't

00:59:55.780 even know

00:59:56.100 how we're

00:59:56.400 getting all

00:59:56.740 this stuff

00:59:57.180 done

00:59:57.680 it's so

00:59:58.720 great

00:59:59.060 and I

00:59:59.420 don't care

00:59:59.820 about

01:00:00.100 other people

01:00:01.020 should come

01:00:01.380 and join

01:00:01.840 us

01:00:02.320 why aren't

01:00:03.620 people coming

01:00:04.260 here

01:00:04.560 this is so

01:00:05.180 great

01:00:05.800 and you don't

01:00:07.040 worry about

01:00:07.540 competition

01:00:08.080 or anything

01:00:08.420 you just

01:00:08.900 focus on

01:00:09.420 what you're

01:00:09.840 doing

01:00:10.180 I

01:00:11.800 as I'm

01:00:12.580 reading this

01:00:13.320 I am

01:00:15.460 looking at

01:00:15.940 this and

01:00:16.280 saying we

01:00:16.800 used to

01:00:17.140 be a

01:00:17.440 five stage

01:00:18.300 country

01:00:19.400 we were

01:00:21.340 a country

01:00:21.860 in the

01:00:22.580 1800s

01:00:24.080 and

01:00:25.520 really

01:00:26.600 for a

01:00:27.280 very long

01:00:27.880 time

01:00:28.320 that we

01:00:29.280 didn't say

01:00:30.200 the other

01:00:30.960 nations

01:00:31.400 sucked

01:00:31.900 when we

01:00:34.320 were

01:00:34.700 when we

01:00:35.260 were at

01:00:35.520 our

01:00:35.680 founding

01:00:36.160 and when

01:00:36.800 we were

01:00:37.080 at our

01:00:37.320 best

01:00:37.840 we were

01:00:38.980 just worried

01:00:39.500 about us

01:00:40.140 we were

01:00:40.720 like this

01:00:41.060 is great

01:00:41.820 guys

01:00:44.300 come over

01:00:44.660 here

01:00:45.060 and people

01:00:46.480 were looking

01:00:47.280 over to

01:00:48.260 us

01:00:48.600 and that's

01:00:49.000 when they

01:00:49.180 give us

01:00:49.420 the Statue

01:00:49.840 of Liberty

01:00:50.820 what America

01:00:51.840 is doing

01:00:52.500 because all

01:00:54.240 we were

01:00:54.540 focused on

01:00:55.260 was what

01:00:56.060 we could

01:00:57.080 accomplish

01:00:57.720 and we

01:00:58.840 didn't

01:00:59.300 bother

01:01:05.260 a nice

01:01:06.000 view of it

01:01:06.640 forgetting the

01:01:07.260 Indians

01:01:07.600 and slaves

01:01:08.160 and everything

01:01:08.580 else

01:01:35.620 it's

01:01:37.780 not

01:01:38.220 uncommon

01:01:38.740 that it

01:05:29.960 the

01:05:30.120 problem

01:05:30.480 is

01:05:30.760 if

01:05:31.000 you

01:05:31.140 don't

01:05:31.540 bring

01:05:31.760 it

01:05:31.900 up

01:05:32.140 stage

01:05:32.820 two

01:05:33.260 can

01:05:33.560 go

01:05:33.780 down

01:05:34.360 to

01:05:34.620 stage

01:05:35.060 one

01:05:35.560 and

01:05:37.760 listen

01:05:38.240 to

01:05:38.420 this

01:05:38.820 are

01:05:40.280 where

01:05:41.100 you

01:05:41.300 find

01:05:55.400 because

01:05:56.820 and

01:05:57.400 suicides

01:05:58.580 I

01:06:00.960 contend

01:06:01.860 that we

01:06:03.140 are

01:06:03.360 currently

01:06:03.960 a

01:06:04.380 stage

01:06:04.960 two

01:06:05.740 country

01:06:06.600 and we

01:06:08.360 are

01:06:08.520 quickly

01:06:09.260 spiraling

01:06:10.500 into a

01:06:11.300 stage

01:06:11.660 one

01:06:12.140 country

01:06:12.660 and we

01:06:14.220 are being

01:06:14.600 helped

01:06:15.240 into that

01:06:16.900 position

01:06:17.400 by people

01:06:18.520 like the

01:06:19.120 guy that

01:06:19.640 Tucker Carlson

01:06:20.440 had on

01:06:21.080 last

01:06:21.440 night

01:06:21.780 and by

01:06:23.080 just

01:06:23.740 talking

01:06:24.520 about

01:06:25.020 those

01:06:25.400 things

01:06:25.860 and not

01:06:27.080 offering

01:06:27.760 any other

01:06:28.860 new

01:06:29.300 path

01:06:30.020 we are

01:06:31.560 almost

01:06:32.060 guaranteeing

01:06:33.260 that we

01:06:33.960 will go

01:06:34.380 to a

01:06:34.920 stage

01:06:35.300 one

01:06:35.680 and if

01:06:37.740 you speak

01:06:38.500 the language

01:06:39.180 of a

01:06:39.760 stage

01:06:40.140 two

01:06:40.560 person

01:06:41.280 who says

01:06:42.400 my life

01:06:42.900 sucks

01:06:43.280 because I

01:06:44.040 can't get

01:06:44.640 health care

01:06:45.240 my life

01:06:46.380 sucks

01:06:46.860 because

01:06:47.440 it's

01:06:48.260 dangerous

01:06:48.840 outside

01:06:49.440 and you

01:06:49.980 guys aren't

01:06:50.440 doing anything

01:06:50.980 about it

01:06:51.560 and somebody

01:06:52.560 from

01:06:53.040 that speaks

01:06:53.860 the language

01:06:54.340 of that

01:06:54.700 tribe

01:06:55.020 says I'm

01:06:55.540 going to

01:06:55.720 help you

01:06:56.100 and then

01:06:56.600 you violate

01:06:57.500 their trust

01:06:58.480 it only

01:06:59.780 makes things

01:07:00.340 worse

01:07:00.820 it has

01:07:03.580 to be

01:07:04.020 authentic

01:07:04.680 or the

01:07:07.160 tribe

01:07:07.600 grows

01:07:08.060 more

01:07:08.560 disillusioned

01:07:09.880 a stage

01:07:11.720 five

01:07:12.240 country

01:07:13.900 or company

01:07:14.840 an

01:07:16.000 apple

01:07:16.500 a google

01:07:17.480 an

01:07:19.800 america

01:07:20.440 when the

01:07:23.020 founder dies

01:07:24.080 goes to

01:07:24.880 a stage

01:07:25.340 two

01:07:25.600 not always

01:07:26.220 but it's

01:07:26.980 not

01:07:27.200 it's not

01:07:28.120 uncommon

01:07:28.540 our

01:07:30.480 founders

01:07:31.000 have died

01:07:32.000 our

01:07:34.160 founders

01:07:34.660 died

01:07:35.280 when we

01:07:36.580 stopped

01:07:37.180 reading

01:07:37.880 and

01:07:39.120 listening

01:07:39.960 to them

01:07:40.520 when we

01:07:41.740 stopped

01:07:42.100 honoring

01:07:42.600 what they

01:07:43.240 wrote

01:07:43.720 when we

01:07:44.160 stopped

01:07:44.700 listening

01:07:45.520 to what

01:07:46.220 they advised

01:07:48.040 us to

01:07:48.580 do

01:07:48.940 it's

01:07:51.200 it's

01:07:51.800 clearly

01:07:52.880 official

01:07:53.600 that our

01:07:55.000 founders

01:07:55.360 play no

01:07:56.000 role in

01:07:56.840 this country

01:07:57.380 anymore

01:07:57.860 it's why

01:07:59.020 people

01:07:59.560 our age

01:08:00.640 feel

01:08:01.820 this country

01:08:04.000 used to

01:08:04.360 stand for

01:08:04.800 something

01:08:05.220 but you

01:08:06.980 have to

01:08:07.380 understand

01:08:08.100 people who

01:08:10.020 are 17

01:08:10.840 now

01:08:11.500 were a

01:08:13.920 year old

01:08:15.000 when 9-11

01:08:16.460 happened

01:08:16.940 people who

01:08:18.980 were 23

01:08:20.180 really have

01:08:22.220 no memory

01:08:23.000 of america

01:08:24.080 the way

01:08:25.020 we do

01:08:25.720 people who

01:08:29.160 were 30

01:08:29.740 were kids

01:08:30.900 when it

01:08:32.140 happened

01:08:32.520 30

01:08:33.300 it

01:08:38.340 it

01:08:39.000 it

01:08:39.340 it

01:08:40.700 won't be

01:08:41.440 repaired

01:08:42.140 unless

01:08:43.160 we

01:08:43.840 teach

01:08:44.680 the

01:08:46.260 principles

01:08:46.800 of the

01:08:47.380 founders

01:08:47.760 again

01:08:48.220 we must

01:08:50.040 restore those

01:08:50.800 things in

01:08:51.440 our own

01:08:52.020 home

01:08:52.480 but

01:08:53.800 people like

01:08:54.760 me

01:08:55.320 need to

01:08:56.460 learn

01:08:56.900 how to

01:08:57.700 speak

01:08:58.220 the

01:08:58.480 language

01:08:59.180 of the

01:09:01.920 people in

01:09:02.520 Ohio

01:09:03.040 of the

01:09:04.460 people in

01:09:19.880 you know

01:09:20.580 it's the

01:09:24.400 worried about

01:09:31.880 have the

01:09:32.440 privilege

01:09:33.560 to worry

01:09:36.160 about anything

01:09:36.880 else

01:10:44.080 I just

01:10:44.420 said

01:10:44.820 may I

01:10:45.560 suggest

01:10:46.100 that you

01:10:46.880 read the

01:10:47.340 book

01:10:47.680 Tribal

01:10:48.520 Leadership

01:10:48.980 it's a

01:10:49.540 New York

01:10:49.800 Times

01:10:50.080 bestseller

01:10:50.540 I don't

01:10:51.000 even know

01:10:51.220 when it

01:10:51.420 came out

01:10:51.680 it's not

01:10:52.160 a new

01:10:52.420 book

01:10:52.700 Tribal

01:10:54.480 Leadership

01:10:54.880 and look

01:10:56.440 at this

01:10:56.740 not only

01:10:57.120 for your

01:10:57.480 company

01:10:57.940 but also

01:10:58.940 look at

01:10:59.340 this

01:10:59.680 for

01:11:01.340 the

01:11:01.980 country

01:11:02.400 and like

01:11:04.040 I said

01:11:04.360 I have

01:11:04.640 4 or 5

01:11:05.820 books that

01:11:06.300 I would

01:11:06.580 like you

01:11:07.020 to read

01:11:08.040 that are

01:11:08.500 really

01:11:10.120 important

01:11:10.780 especially

01:11:12.080 if you're

01:11:12.380 just running

01:11:12.820 a company

01:11:13.400 friction

01:11:15.540 is another

01:11:16.440 one we'll

01:11:16.900 talk about

01:11:17.540 but it

01:11:20.180 ties directly

01:11:21.360 in to

01:11:21.960 saving our

01:11:22.560 country

01:11:22.920 and I

01:11:24.240 think I

01:11:25.000 have a

01:11:25.320 pathway

01:11:25.700 out

01:11:26.200 and I'd

01:11:43.860 Gross

01:11:44.340 are saying

01:11:45.500 warning

01:11:46.680 the economy

01:11:48.460 is an

01:11:48.900 increasing

01:11:49.280 risk

01:11:50.440 you do

01:11:50.880 well

01:11:51.320 you shouldn't

01:11:52.140 just do

01:11:52.600 nothing

01:11:53.060 or ignore

01:11:53.660 that threat

01:12:04.800 laid out

01:12:07.240 President

01:12:07.600 Trump

01:12:08.020 harder

01:12:08.500 than we

01:12:09.520 before

01:12:10.020 because there

01:12:11.840 are no good

01:12:12.440 options left

01:12:13.360 for the

01:12:14.200 Middle East

01:12:14.760 with Syria

01:12:15.440 and Russia

01:12:16.100 what happened

01:12:16.720 yesterday

01:12:17.120 and I

01:12:17.480 went into

01:12:17.980 detail on

01:12:18.560 that

01:12:18.780 and also

01:12:20.120 what happened

01:12:21.040 tragically

01:12:21.860 to the

01:12:24.060 the kid

01:12:25.080 from Cincinnati

01:12:25.800 that was

01:12:26.620 over in

01:12:27.240 North Korea

01:12:27.900 they basically

01:12:29.320 like Don

01:12:30.000 Corleone

01:12:30.520 dumped his 0.74

01:12:31.400 body on

01:12:32.120 our American

01:12:32.800 doorstep

01:12:33.560 after beating

01:12:34.540 the crap

01:12:35.380 out of

01:12:35.820 him

01:12:36.040 we as

01:12:37.900 America

01:12:38.280 can't let

01:12:38.820 that stand

01:12:39.500 but we

01:12:39.960 as Americans

01:12:40.560 can also

01:12:41.300 not go

01:12:41.780 into what

01:12:42.700 our

01:12:45.100 generals

01:12:45.880 are saying

01:12:46.340 will be

01:12:46.720 the worst

01:12:47.580 war anyone

01:12:48.900 has seen

01:12:49.700 in our

01:12:50.340 lifetime

01:12:51.180 I don't

01:12:53.020 know how

01:12:53.420 to navigate

01:12:53.880 these waters

01:12:54.540 but I do

01:12:55.820 know this

01:12:56.400 we will not

01:12:57.680 rise to the

01:12:58.420 level of our

01:12:58.940 expectations

01:12:59.540 we will

01:13:00.360 fall to the

01:13:02.460 level of our

01:13:03.120 preparedness

01:13:03.740 and as I

01:13:05.340 said before

01:13:05.820 when your

01:13:06.260 hierarchy needs

01:14:34.060 how Silicon Valley

01:14:35.380 and the Navy

01:14:35.840 seals and

01:14:37.020 maverick scientists

01:14:38.140 are revolutionary

01:14:40.600 way we work and

01:14:41.480 live it's all

01:14:43.360 about chemicals

01:14:44.640 can we naturally

01:14:49.140 believe it or not

01:14:50.800 it's coming up

01:14:52.160 next

01:15:14.560 on demand

01:15:18.220 this is going to

01:15:21.920 be a fascinating

01:15:22.920 conversation there

01:15:23.900 is a new book

01:15:24.560 out by Stephen

01:15:26.280 Kotler and

01:15:27.360 Jamie wheel

01:15:28.340 Stephen is on

01:15:30.220 with us it's

01:15:30.680 called stealing

01:15:31.400 fire how Silicon

01:15:33.100 Valley the Navy

01:15:34.180 seals and maverick

01:15:35.540 scientists are

01:15:36.980 revolutionized

01:15:37.840 revolutionizing the

01:15:39.100 way we work and

01:15:40.100 live

01:15:40.620 this is about

01:15:44.600 getting into the

01:15:45.760 flow and it

01:15:47.480 takes you to

01:15:48.900 places that are

01:15:50.060 very unexpected

01:15:51.980 and I'm not sure

01:15:53.900 I really understand

01:15:55.480 here

01:15:55.880 but it's going to

01:15:58.680 be a fascinating

01:15:59.700 conversation

01:16:00.720 the idea that

01:16:03.560 Tim Ferriss says

01:16:05.160 that the

01:16:06.320 billionaires that

01:16:07.140 he knows in

01:16:07.880 Silicon Valley

01:16:08.740 are following

01:16:10.000 Steve Jobs

01:16:10.800 advice and

01:16:11.640 they're all

01:16:12.060 taking LSD

01:16:13.620 or micro doses

01:16:15.500 of mescaline

01:16:16.560 and that's

01:16:17.860 why they're

01:16:18.980 able to

01:16:19.780 change the

01:16:20.700 world and

01:16:21.780 see solutions

01:16:23.220 stealing

01:16:24.280 fire

01:16:24.940 where do you

01:16:26.800 get that fire

01:16:27.740 we begin

01:16:29.120 right now

01:16:29.860 I will

01:16:31.920 make a

01:16:32.680 stand

01:16:33.340 I will

01:16:34.120 raise my

01:16:34.940 voice

01:16:35.660 I will

01:16:36.320 hold your

01:16:37.060 hand

01:16:37.800 because we

01:16:38.880 are one

01:16:39.840 I will

01:16:40.680 beat my

01:16:41.500 drum

01:16:42.060 I have

01:16:42.900 made my

01:16:43.640 choice

01:16:44.280 we will

01:16:45.100 overcome

01:16:45.980 because we

01:16:47.680 are one

01:16:48.660 the fusion

01:16:49.580 of entertainment

01:16:50.600 and enlightenment

01:16:51.820 this is the

01:16:53.820 Glenn Beck

01:16:55.240 program

01:16:56.440 Steve welcome

01:16:58.540 to the program

01:16:59.080 glad you're here

01:16:59.760 I have to be

01:17:01.980 honest with you

01:17:02.360 I've only read

01:17:03.080 50 pages

01:17:04.160 of the book

01:17:04.760 and I'm

01:17:06.180 not sure

01:17:07.040 I understand

01:17:09.100 let me just

01:17:09.640 ask you one

01:17:10.240 question before

01:17:10.860 we get into

01:17:12.080 it to make

01:17:12.920 sure I do

01:17:13.720 understand what

01:17:14.600 the point is

01:17:15.080 here is James

01:17:16.200 Valentine

01:17:16.660 he was not

01:17:17.940 taking any

01:17:18.580 drugs he was

01:17:19.700 just he had

01:17:21.660 a different

01:17:22.380 kind of

01:17:22.740 experience but

01:17:23.500 the same

01:17:24.140 effect

01:17:24.700 yeah

01:17:25.540 okay

01:17:25.940 so I just

01:17:28.120 wanted to know

01:17:28.600 that

01:17:28.760 now you can

01:17:29.920 start at the

01:17:30.380 beginning

01:17:30.580 because now

01:17:30.940 I think I

01:17:31.320 got it

01:17:31.700 absolutely

01:17:32.360 let me just

01:17:32.860 put it in

01:17:33.300 historical context

01:17:34.220 for you

01:17:34.560 thank you for

01:17:35.640 having me by

01:17:36.140 the way

01:17:36.420 but it's the

01:17:37.700 easiest way

01:17:38.740 to frame this

01:17:39.280 up

01:17:39.480 back at the

01:17:40.580 turn of the

01:17:40.960 century

01:17:41.220 1902

01:17:42.080 William James

01:17:43.720 who is a

01:17:44.340 Harvard

01:17:44.700 philosopher

01:17:45.320 and psychologist

01:17:45.880 and he

01:17:46.560 sort of

01:17:47.000 kind of

01:17:47.440 the godfather

01:17:48.560 of western

01:17:49.120 philosophy

01:17:49.660 he makes

01:17:51.200 the observation

01:17:52.060 the whole

01:17:53.300 slew of

01:17:54.680 experiences

01:17:55.980 what all

01:17:57.240 the experiences

01:17:57.840 that are

01:17:58.700 sort of

01:17:58.960 found north

01:17:59.580 of happy

01:18:00.180 so these

01:18:00.840 are states

01:18:03.320 of awe

01:18:04.080 certain kinds

01:18:05.500 of mystical

01:18:06.040 experiences

01:18:06.620 like trance

01:18:07.500 states or

01:18:08.020 states produced

01:18:08.560 by prayer

01:18:09.300 or yoga

01:18:10.060 or meditation

01:18:11.020 or even

01:18:12.060 in some cases

01:18:12.540 psychedelic states

01:18:13.780 or flow states

01:18:14.920 which is what

01:18:15.540 we study at the

01:18:16.480 Flow Genome Project

01:18:17.100 myself and

01:18:17.540 Jamie Wheeler

01:18:17.920 who I wrote

01:18:18.300 the book with

01:18:18.820 which are

01:18:19.500 those states

01:18:20.080 of kind of

01:18:20.740 optimal states

01:18:21.460 of consciousness

01:18:21.960 where we feel

01:18:22.560 our best

01:18:22.880 and perform

01:18:23.300 but you notice

01:18:23.920 that all

01:18:24.300 these states

01:18:25.000 were really

01:18:26.500 really similar

01:18:26.940 they produced

01:18:27.520 very similar

01:18:28.080 psychological

01:18:28.600 changes in us

01:18:29.540 they seemed

01:18:30.160 to heal

01:18:30.540 anxiety

01:18:31.080 heal trauma

01:18:32.000 and they

01:18:32.760 you know

01:18:33.140 seemed to

01:18:33.500 lift us

01:18:34.040 up to

01:18:34.300 incredible

01:18:34.640 heights

01:18:34.960 and they

01:18:35.260 produced

01:18:35.640 very similar

01:18:36.080 kind of

01:18:36.420 physical

01:18:36.800 experiences

01:18:37.480 in us

01:18:38.660 and we

01:18:39.980 sort of

01:18:40.260 turned our

01:18:40.560 back on it

01:18:41.020 like we

01:18:41.320 weren't really

01:18:41.880 interested in

01:18:42.380 altered states

01:18:42.840 of consciousness

01:18:43.280 at that point

01:18:43.960 Freud came

01:18:44.700 along

01:18:44.980 and said

01:18:45.220 hey

01:18:45.460 pathological

01:18:46.120 problems

01:18:46.600 are much

01:18:46.980 more interesting

01:18:47.580 let's try

01:18:48.180 to fix

01:18:48.580 people

01:18:48.980 and that's

01:18:49.860 what psychology

01:18:50.300 did for about

01:18:50.860 a hundred

01:18:51.200 years

01:18:51.700 until the late

01:18:52.920 90s when

01:18:53.540 somebody went

01:18:54.060 hey you know

01:18:54.620 there's this

01:18:54.940 whole upper

01:18:55.520 realm of

01:18:56.480 experiences we

01:18:57.340 haven't looked

01:18:58.060 at and now

01:18:59.120 we have and

01:18:59.720 as it turns out

01:19:00.800 using you know

01:19:01.860 high powered

01:19:02.220 brain imaging

01:19:02.680 technology

01:19:03.420 James was right

01:19:04.940 there's very

01:19:05.800 very little

01:19:06.400 difference in the

01:19:07.140 brain of

01:19:07.540 kind of a

01:19:08.100 skier in the

01:19:09.180 zone moving

01:19:09.960 down a mountain

01:19:10.920 face or say

01:19:12.600 as you pointed

01:19:13.100 out in the

01:19:13.640 beginning a you

01:19:14.400 know a billionaire

01:19:15.040 micro dosing

01:19:16.300 with psychedelics

01:19:17.540 or somebody

01:19:19.300 meditating

01:19:19.800 very similar

01:19:20.440 things happen

01:19:21.120 in the brain

01:19:21.600 they produce

01:19:22.060 very similar

01:19:22.660 feelings in us

01:19:23.420 and they have

01:19:23.700 similar benefits

01:19:24.520 okay so let's

01:19:26.660 get into this

01:19:27.500 because as I'm

01:19:28.720 like I've read

01:19:30.520 55 pages this

01:19:31.660 morning just

01:19:33.380 trying to get

01:19:33.800 ready for this

01:19:34.880 and I wish I

01:19:35.660 would have picked

01:19:35.980 the book up

01:19:36.380 earlier because

01:19:37.240 I think

01:19:39.040 I gotta tell you

01:19:40.600 by the way

01:19:40.920 55 pages

01:19:41.740 you're doing

01:19:42.920 well compared

01:19:43.460 to a lot of

01:19:43.920 people I talk

01:19:44.400 to so

01:19:44.740 well I'm

01:19:46.400 embarrassed

01:19:46.700 that I've

01:19:49.000 only read

01:19:49.320 55 but

01:19:50.060 the idea

01:19:52.520 here

01:19:53.200 I'm fascinated

01:19:55.560 by because

01:19:56.100 I believe

01:19:56.800 as long as

01:19:57.300 we're not

01:19:57.520 talking about

01:19:57.920 a drug

01:19:58.520 only state

01:20:00.160 in the flow

01:20:00.760 I really

01:20:01.900 truly believe

01:20:02.800 that from

01:20:03.880 2007 to

01:20:05.580 about 2012

01:20:07.100 I experienced

01:20:08.880 that and

01:20:10.840 just being

01:20:11.620 in the flow

01:20:12.580 and it was

01:20:13.700 a very

01:20:14.280 different feeling

01:20:15.300 and real

01:20:17.600 high high

01:20:18.880 clarity

01:20:19.600 mine was

01:20:21.080 a mine

01:20:22.000 was a not

01:20:23.580 drug induced

01:20:24.300 but I could

01:20:26.500 explain it to

01:20:27.360 you and I

01:20:27.800 think it's the

01:20:28.280 way John

01:20:28.720 Valentine

01:20:29.240 James Valentine

01:20:31.600 would explain

01:20:32.500 that as well

01:20:33.600 so I think

01:20:34.720 there is

01:20:35.580 something here

01:20:36.400 to people

01:20:38.000 who

01:20:38.540 do you mind

01:20:39.240 if I ask

01:20:39.620 you a question

01:20:40.100 what triggered

01:20:41.240 that experience

01:20:41.940 in you

01:20:42.320 at the front

01:20:43.420 end of it

01:20:43.840 what was going

01:20:45.000 on in your

01:20:45.320 life

01:20:45.740 that brought

01:20:47.640 that on

01:20:48.080 it was a

01:20:49.600 deep

01:20:52.860 spiritual

01:20:53.780 connection

01:20:54.840 of

01:20:57.160 profound

01:20:58.940 gratitude

01:20:59.700 and

01:21:01.260 service

01:21:03.140 so

01:21:04.120 interestingly

01:21:06.340 you had

01:21:07.180 an experience

01:21:07.680 and it's

01:21:08.440 very long

01:21:08.900 lasting

01:21:09.280 it's known

01:21:09.820 as helper's

01:21:10.420 high

01:21:10.620 it was

01:21:11.200 discovered

01:21:11.520 by Alan

01:21:12.280 Luke

01:21:12.640 founded

01:21:13.600 Big Brother

01:21:13.980 Big Sisters

01:21:14.460 back in the

01:21:14.920 90s

01:21:15.260 essentially a

01:21:15.880 flow state

01:21:16.540 let's just

01:21:17.400 define flow

01:21:18.000 for your

01:21:18.460 listeners

01:21:18.740 who don't

01:21:19.260 know

01:21:19.600 what exactly

01:21:20.760 it is

01:21:21.080 flow is a

01:21:22.200 fancy term

01:21:22.780 for being

01:21:23.140 in the zone

01:21:23.800 being unconscious

01:21:25.100 if you play

01:21:25.440 a lot of

01:21:25.720 basketball

01:21:26.080 those moments

01:21:26.920 of rapt

01:21:27.340 attention

01:21:27.700 and total

01:21:28.140 absorption

01:21:28.540 where you

01:21:28.860 get so

01:21:29.220 focused

01:21:29.520 on what

01:21:29.840 you're

01:21:29.960 doing

01:21:30.200 everything

01:21:30.680 else

01:21:30.880 vanishes

01:21:31.320 so your

01:21:31.700 sense of

01:21:32.080 self

01:21:32.400 goes away

01:21:33.340 time

01:21:33.800 passes

01:21:34.080 strangely

01:21:34.540 it slows

01:21:35.080 down

01:21:35.400 or it'll

01:21:35.660 speed up

01:21:36.660 it's what

01:21:37.080 seals and

01:21:38.820 people describe

01:21:39.940 when they're

01:21:40.500 at their

01:21:41.480 height of

01:21:42.060 going into

01:21:42.700 kill Osama 0.97

01:21:43.320 bin Laden

01:21:43.780 time slows

01:21:44.640 down

01:21:45.100 everything else

01:21:46.140 disappears

01:21:46.660 so there's

01:21:47.560 a

01:21:47.700 now that's

01:21:48.900 a very

01:21:49.180 acute

01:21:49.680 when time

01:21:50.380 slows down

01:21:50.820 that tends

01:21:51.360 to be very

01:21:51.720 acute

01:21:52.220 there's a

01:21:52.880 lot of

01:21:53.800 additional

01:21:54.340 brain processes

01:21:54.980 being involved

01:21:55.720 a little bit

01:21:56.280 but

01:21:56.600 essentially

01:21:57.600 helper's high

01:21:58.620 is a flow

01:21:59.300 state

01:21:59.600 produced by

01:22:00.220 altruism

01:22:00.700 you even can

01:22:01.280 get a little

01:22:01.820 taste of it

01:22:02.420 if you've ever

01:22:03.080 donated to

01:22:03.800 Kiva

01:22:04.180 or an

01:22:05.080 online charity

01:22:05.920 or anything

01:22:06.300 like that

01:22:06.740 you'll get a

01:22:07.140 little

01:22:07.340 flush of that

01:22:08.420 kind of

01:22:08.720 feel good

01:22:09.140 feeling on

01:22:09.580 the back

01:22:09.980 end

01:22:10.220 you just

01:22:11.280 got it

01:22:11.660 for a

01:22:11.900 very long

01:22:12.200 time

01:22:12.340 my wife

01:22:12.660 and I

01:22:12.820 run a

01:22:13.060 dog

01:22:13.280 sanctuary

01:22:13.660 and so

01:22:15.260 we do

01:22:15.520 hospice

01:22:15.880 care

01:22:16.100 and special

01:22:16.480 needs

01:22:16.720 care

01:22:16.900 and we

01:22:17.060 live in

01:22:17.220 a very

01:22:17.500 poor

01:22:17.820 community

01:22:18.200 and we

01:22:18.460 work here

01:22:18.860 intentionally

01:22:19.280 and live

01:22:19.660 here

01:22:19.780 intentionally

01:22:20.100 to do

01:22:20.720 this

01:22:20.900 work

01:22:21.240 and she

01:22:22.420 runs

01:22:22.760 on

01:22:22.940 helpers

01:22:23.280 high

01:22:23.500 so

01:22:25.540 the

01:22:26.220 difference

01:22:26.760 between

01:22:27.140 that

01:22:28.220 and

01:22:29.140 just the

01:22:31.280 dopamine

01:22:31.800 that you

01:22:32.320 get from

01:22:33.120 the

01:22:33.620 bling

01:22:34.860 of your

01:22:35.420 Facebook

01:22:36.000 or your

01:22:36.600 email

01:22:37.060 what is

01:22:38.660 the difference

01:22:39.320 so the

01:22:40.300 differences

01:22:40.700 are

01:22:41.280 as we

01:22:42.280 move

01:22:42.560 into

01:22:42.760 flow

01:22:43.040 a couple

01:22:43.440 of things

01:22:43.760 happened

01:22:44.160 first of

01:22:45.360 all

01:22:45.700 you get

01:22:46.480 so most

01:22:47.340 of what

01:22:47.780 they call

01:22:48.780 21st century

01:22:49.620 normal

01:22:49.920 you and I

01:22:50.480 where our

01:22:50.820 brains are

01:22:51.300 right now

01:22:51.900 there's a lot

01:22:53.040 of activity

01:22:53.640 kind of behind

01:22:54.580 our forehead

01:22:55.120 and what's

01:22:55.480 known as

01:22:55.720 the prefrontal

01:22:56.260 cortex

01:22:56.580 which is

01:22:57.040 your executive

01:22:57.800 function

01:22:58.200 your attention

01:22:58.800 your sense

01:22:59.220 of morality

01:22:59.720 your sense

01:23:00.240 of will

01:23:00.860 language

01:23:01.360 function

01:23:01.640 all that

01:23:01.980 stuff

01:23:02.320 that's

01:23:02.860 going

01:23:03.060 crazy

01:23:04.060 and

01:23:05.080 we

01:23:05.740 most of

01:23:06.280 us

01:23:06.460 live with

01:23:06.860 like the

01:23:07.180 steady

01:23:07.560 drip

01:23:07.900 drip

01:23:08.180 drip

01:23:08.400 of

01:23:08.580 stress

01:23:08.880 hormones

01:23:09.260 like

01:23:09.520 cortisol

01:23:09.860 and

01:23:10.160 norepinephrine

01:23:10.740 that's

01:23:11.100 what

01:23:11.200 psychologists

01:23:11.640 talk about

01:23:12.140 as 21st

01:23:12.740 century

01:23:13.000 normal

01:23:13.360 essentially

01:23:13.820 as you

01:23:14.780 move into

01:23:15.140 all of

01:23:15.660 these

01:23:15.820 states

01:23:16.180 this

01:23:16.420 happens

01:23:16.700 in

01:23:16.860 meditation

01:23:17.340 and contemplative

01:23:18.560 states

01:23:18.800 like yoga

01:23:19.360 it happens

01:23:20.280 in flow

01:23:20.720 states

01:23:21.040 whether

01:23:21.280 they're

01:23:21.540 triggered

01:23:21.780 by action

01:23:22.900 adventure

01:23:23.300 sports

01:23:23.720 or by

01:23:24.200 music

01:23:24.720 James

01:23:25.640 Valentine's

01:23:26.160 experience

01:23:26.500 deep

01:23:27.380 trances

01:23:27.740 playing

01:23:28.100 music

01:23:28.700 chess

01:23:30.480 talks a lot

01:23:32.900 about

01:23:33.100 chess

01:23:33.400 and flow

01:23:33.820 very

01:23:34.400 common

01:23:35.100 in a lot

01:23:35.520 of different

01:23:35.860 things that

01:23:36.320 require

01:23:36.700 intense focus

01:23:37.920 in the present

01:23:38.400 moment

01:23:38.740 or altruism

01:23:39.560 in your

01:23:39.860 case

01:23:40.220 and so

01:23:41.520 what happens

01:23:42.180 as you move

01:23:42.500 into those

01:23:42.800 states

01:23:43.060 is

01:23:43.320 activity

01:23:43.840 in the

01:23:44.020 prefrontal

01:23:44.380 cortex

01:23:44.620 gets really

01:23:45.260 quiet

01:23:45.740 it dies

01:23:46.540 down

01:23:46.960 that's why

01:23:47.680 your sense

01:23:48.300 of self

01:23:48.840 disappears

01:23:49.700 right

01:23:49.920 the inner

01:23:50.280 critic

01:23:50.520 that nagging 0.93

01:23:51.200 always on

01:23:51.760 defeatist

01:23:52.120 voice in

01:23:52.460 your head

01:23:52.800 goes quiet

01:23:53.480 in those

01:23:53.780 states

01:23:54.040 because the

01:23:54.560 inner

01:23:54.780 critic

01:23:55.000 is basically

01:23:55.680 calculated

01:23:56.840 in your

01:23:57.160 prefrontal

01:23:57.560 cortex

01:23:57.840 and as that

01:23:58.320 part of the

01:23:58.740 brain

01:23:59.020 starts to

01:23:59.480 shut down

01:24:00.060 we can't

01:24:01.120 perform the

01:24:01.560 calculation

01:24:01.980 so your

01:24:02.440 inner critic

01:24:02.860 goes away

01:24:03.340 time passes

01:24:03.960 strangely

01:24:04.380 because time

01:24:05.100 is calculated

01:24:05.580 all over the

01:24:06.100 prefrontal

01:24:06.520 cortex

01:24:06.780 and when it

01:24:07.220 goes away

01:24:07.680 we can't

01:24:08.280 separate

01:24:08.680 past

01:24:09.020 present

01:24:09.300 from future

01:24:09.740 it all

01:24:10.000 blends

01:24:10.280 together

01:24:10.640 into what

01:24:11.080 researchers

01:24:11.780 call the

01:24:12.220 deep now

01:24:12.720 and to

01:24:13.380 your

01:24:13.560 question

01:24:14.020 the stress

01:24:15.260 hormones

01:24:15.820 norepinephrine

01:24:16.760 and cortisol

01:24:17.140 they get

01:24:17.500 flushed out

01:24:18.180 of our

01:24:18.480 system

01:24:18.760 and they

01:24:19.000 get replaced

01:24:19.760 by not

01:24:20.520 just dopamine

01:24:21.240 dopamine

01:24:21.680 itself is a

01:24:22.220 very powerful

01:24:23.180 feel good

01:24:24.220 neurochemical

01:24:24.780 with a lot

01:24:25.260 of performance

01:24:25.660 enhancing

01:24:25.940 benefit

01:24:26.320 but you also

01:24:27.100 get endorphins

01:24:27.860 and serotonin

01:24:28.880 and anandamine

01:24:29.720 and oxytocin

01:24:30.320 and it's the

01:24:31.340 cocktail

01:24:31.880 that is so

01:24:33.200 powerful

01:24:33.540 and what that

01:24:34.060 cocktail does

01:24:35.060 you talked about

01:24:35.600 the clarity

01:24:36.200 it does besides

01:24:37.100 it makes us

01:24:38.540 feel selfless

01:24:39.300 it makes us

01:24:39.940 feel timeless

01:24:40.560 it also

01:24:41.020 gives

01:24:41.640 it massively

01:24:42.660 it massively

01:24:43.860 boosts

01:24:44.760 motivation

01:24:46.060 so McKinsey

01:24:47.320 for example

01:24:47.840 did a 10 year

01:24:48.500 study of top

01:24:49.160 executives

01:24:49.600 in flow

01:24:50.140 and they found

01:24:50.880 that top

01:24:51.260 executives

01:24:51.640 were 500%

01:24:52.680 more productive

01:24:53.500 in flow

01:24:53.940 that's

01:24:54.680 a huge

01:24:55.400 boost

01:24:55.900 and it's

01:24:57.100 because

01:24:57.540 all of these

01:24:58.720 same neurochemicals

01:24:59.620 they're feel good

01:25:00.220 drugs

01:25:00.500 some of the most

01:25:01.340 addictive

01:25:01.840 pleasure chemicals

01:25:02.980 the brain can

01:25:03.520 produce

01:25:03.840 flow is the only

01:25:04.620 time we get

01:25:05.040 all it wants

01:25:05.760 and it's so

01:25:06.080 produced

01:25:06.440 this huge spike

01:25:08.020 in motivation

01:25:09.000 a positive spike

01:25:09.820 right

01:25:10.000 like a positive

01:25:11.040 addiction

01:25:11.460 and so your

01:25:12.720 job now

01:25:14.140 is to try

01:25:15.060 to figure out

01:25:15.860 how to trip

01:25:17.380 us into

01:25:18.080 this flow

01:25:18.700 yeah

01:25:19.400 so over

01:25:20.780 the past

01:25:21.540 you know

01:25:23.280 flow science

01:25:23.900 is

01:25:24.200 stretched back

01:25:25.180 150 years

01:25:25.960 but

01:25:26.220 recently

01:25:27.100 past 10 years

01:25:28.120 we've been able

01:25:28.520 to look

01:25:28.960 under the hood

01:25:29.840 for the first time

01:25:30.360 where are these

01:25:30.740 experiences coming

01:25:31.560 from

01:25:31.920 and we've been

01:25:32.760 able to work

01:25:33.360 backwards

01:25:33.880 and we now

01:25:34.540 know that

01:25:34.920 flow states

01:25:35.580 have triggers

01:25:36.500 preconditions

01:25:37.560 that lead

01:25:38.000 to more

01:25:38.360 flow

01:25:38.700 there are

01:25:39.300 10

01:25:39.740 individual

01:25:40.580 triggers 1.00

01:25:41.020 what you

01:25:41.720 or I

01:25:42.020 could use

01:25:42.420 on our

01:25:42.860 own

01:25:43.040 to drive

01:25:43.420 ourselves

01:25:43.660 into flow

01:25:44.060 and then

01:25:44.600 there's a

01:25:44.960 shared

01:25:45.580 collective

01:25:45.980 version

01:25:46.300 of a

01:25:46.480 flow state

01:25:46.820 known as

01:25:47.120 group flow

01:25:47.800 it's what

01:25:48.680 happens if you've

01:25:49.160 ever been in a

01:25:49.620 great brainstorming

01:25:50.780 session

01:25:51.040 if you watched

01:25:51.580 a band come

01:25:52.440 together and the music

01:25:53.120 just starts to soar

01:25:54.020 or for that matter

01:25:55.120 if you saw the

01:25:55.680 Super Bowl last year

01:25:56.620 saw a fourth quarter

01:25:57.360 comeback

01:25:57.740 right

01:25:58.540 it's just spectacular

01:25:59.240 what the Patriots

01:26:00.180 did in the fourth quarter

01:26:00.900 everybody comes together

01:26:01.900 and football looks

01:26:02.460 more like ballet

01:26:03.120 that's group flow

01:26:04.560 it's what the SEALs

01:26:05.920 rely on so heavily

01:26:06.940 too

01:26:07.220 it's a team

01:26:07.860 coming together

01:26:08.400 being able to

01:26:09.600 behave like a

01:26:10.600 collective organism

01:26:11.440 okay when we come back

01:26:12.660 I want to have you

01:26:14.320 go through some of

01:26:14.900 those 10 things

01:26:16.200 that can trip us

01:26:16.860 into it

01:26:17.340 the name of the book

01:26:19.480 is Stealing Fire

01:26:20.680 how Silicon Valley

01:26:22.540 Navy SEALs

01:26:23.300 and Maverick scientists

01:26:24.080 are revolutionizing

01:26:25.380 the way we work

01:28:38.320 I'm fascinated

01:28:51.560 by this

01:28:52.040 Stephen

01:28:52.460 Kotler

01:28:52.920 the name

01:28:53.660 of the

01:28:53.860 book

01:28:54.060 is

01:28:54.240 Stealing

01:28:54.600 Fire

01:28:55.040 and Stephen

01:28:56.120 if I

01:28:56.600 understand

01:28:57.060 you right

01:28:57.640 what you're

01:28:58.260 saying is

01:28:58.900 whether it's

01:28:59.760 drugs

01:29:00.220 whether it's

01:29:00.700 a spiritual

01:29:01.220 experience

01:29:01.800 no matter

01:29:02.100 how you

01:29:02.620 get there

01:29:03.100 there's this

01:29:03.540 place called

01:29:04.240 the flow

01:29:04.880 and it

01:29:05.740 makes you

01:29:06.320 so much

01:29:07.220 more focused

01:29:08.060 and productive

01:29:09.280 and the

01:29:10.520 however you

01:29:11.380 get there

01:29:11.980 you're trying

01:29:12.520 to figure

01:29:12.800 out how

01:29:13.980 to trip

01:29:14.480 yourself

01:29:14.900 into it

01:29:15.540 correct

01:29:16.020 yeah

01:29:16.740 what we

01:29:17.240 know about

01:29:17.680 flow

01:29:17.960 is that

01:29:18.280 it you

01:29:18.940 know

01:29:19.120 in these

01:29:19.940 states

01:29:20.260 all of the

01:29:20.880 brain's

01:29:21.300 kind of

01:29:21.520 basic

01:29:21.800 information

01:29:22.380 processing

01:29:23.240 machinery

01:29:23.780 gets amplified

01:29:24.580 we take in

01:29:25.540 more information

01:29:26.120 per second

01:29:26.560 we process

01:29:27.020 it more

01:29:27.340 quickly

01:29:27.640 we're able

01:29:27.980 to like

01:29:28.360 link ideas

01:29:29.100 together

01:29:29.540 fine

01:29:30.020 so creativity

01:29:30.920 goes through

01:29:31.420 the roof

01:29:31.700 motivation

01:29:32.160 goes through

01:29:32.700 the roof

01:29:33.280 cooperation

01:29:34.780 collaboration

01:29:35.520 all the

01:29:35.840 so-called

01:29:36.260 21st century

01:29:37.160 skills

01:29:37.660 skills

01:29:38.040 that we

01:29:38.380 need so

01:29:39.140 badly

01:29:39.420 right now

01:29:39.860 okay so

01:29:40.540 give me

01:29:41.860 we have about

01:29:42.340 five minutes

01:29:42.880 give me the

01:29:43.840 give me the

01:29:44.540 high points

01:29:45.120 on how to

01:29:45.700 trip yourself

01:29:46.500 into it

01:29:47.440 so you know

01:29:49.360 some really

01:29:50.720 kind of basic

01:29:51.720 stuff is pretty

01:29:52.700 simple

01:29:53.120 first thing you

01:29:54.100 need to know

01:29:54.660 is that flow

01:29:55.540 shows up

01:29:56.140 when all our

01:29:56.520 attention is

01:29:57.040 focused on the

01:29:57.560 right here

01:29:57.880 right now

01:29:58.420 so at a

01:29:59.180 very practical

01:29:59.900 level we go

01:30:00.600 into companies

01:30:01.220 one of the

01:30:01.500 first things

01:30:01.860 we tell them

01:30:02.400 is if you

01:30:03.640 can't hang a

01:30:04.320 sign on your

01:30:05.360 door that says

01:30:06.240 bleep off

01:30:07.040 I'm flowing

01:30:07.700 you are in

01:30:10.560 trouble

01:30:10.780 because flow

01:30:11.420 requires 90

01:30:12.800 to 120

01:30:13.700 minute periods

01:30:14.760 of concentration

01:30:15.620 to really bring

01:30:16.720 it out

01:30:17.120 which is by the

01:30:18.520 way one of the

01:30:19.200 reasons Montessori

01:30:19.840 education is so

01:30:20.660 effective it's

01:30:21.580 built around 90

01:30:22.620 to 120 minutes

01:30:23.540 of uninterrupted

01:30:25.580 concentration periods

01:30:26.760 right that they

01:30:27.360 use this and

01:30:28.040 it's why Montessori

01:30:28.800 kids you know

01:30:29.740 see so much

01:30:30.540 flow and end

01:30:31.320 up testing

01:30:31.720 better than

01:30:32.120 so many other

01:30:32.580 kids on any

01:30:33.580 test you throw

01:30:34.180 at them

01:30:34.520 very simple

01:30:35.540 thing

01:30:36.100 want to get

01:30:36.600 it take it

01:30:37.040 one notch up

01:30:38.020 we'll go into

01:30:38.920 a trigger that's

01:30:40.380 often called the

01:30:40.940 golden rule of

01:30:41.720 flow known as

01:30:42.220 the challenge

01:30:42.720 skills balance

01:30:43.500 the idea here

01:30:44.240 is really simple

01:30:44.840 all of flows

01:30:45.920 triggers are 1.00

01:30:46.880 things that help

01:30:47.360 drive attention

01:30:47.920 to the present

01:30:48.440 moment right so

01:30:49.240 we pay the most

01:30:50.120 attention to the

01:30:50.740 task at hand

01:30:51.520 when the challenge

01:30:52.480 of the task

01:30:53.140 slightly exceeds

01:30:54.980 our skill set

01:30:55.620 so you want to

01:30:56.480 stretch but not

01:30:58.100 snap and 0.77

01:30:59.640 this is tricky

01:31:00.320 because if you're

01:31:01.120 sort of a shyer

01:31:02.520 more timid

01:31:03.180 maybe a bit of

01:31:03.700 a nerd chief

01:31:04.480 or whatever

01:31:05.000 the sweet spot

01:31:07.140 is outside your

01:31:08.080 comfort zone

01:31:08.680 you have to be

01:31:09.400 pushing yourself

01:31:10.380 outside your

01:31:11.480 standard comfort

01:31:12.100 zone for really

01:31:13.460 super high

01:31:14.760 productive top

01:31:15.740 performers type

01:31:16.520 A types

01:31:17.480 the problem here

01:31:18.460 is they blow

01:31:19.060 past the sweet

01:31:19.880 spot they will

01:31:20.340 take on challenges

01:31:21.040 that are so much

01:31:21.980 bigger than they

01:31:23.400 need to be and

01:31:23.980 so one of the

01:31:24.380 things we always

01:31:24.820 tell people is

01:31:25.440 in this stuff

01:31:26.300 especially if you're

01:31:27.080 type A you got to

01:31:28.180 go slow to go

01:31:28.740 fast

01:31:29.080 there's a

01:31:30.900 kind of

01:31:32.280 neurobiologically

01:31:33.160 regulated sweet

01:31:34.180 spot as to

01:31:34.960 how we pay

01:31:35.380 attention

01:31:35.740 and when you

01:31:37.200 hit it

01:31:37.680 it really

01:31:38.820 drives focus

01:31:39.620 okay

01:31:40.820 go ahead

01:31:42.060 I mean

01:31:43.160 just a couple

01:31:44.000 places to start

01:31:44.920 all right

01:31:46.160 so do you

01:31:48.200 do you do

01:31:48.900 this with

01:31:49.760 are you guys

01:31:52.800 doing this

01:31:53.660 work with

01:31:54.520 companies coming

01:31:55.380 in and saying

01:31:56.140 yeah we

01:31:56.800 I mean

01:31:57.040 last week

01:31:57.680 I was

01:31:57.940 we spent a

01:31:58.860 day with

01:31:59.600 all the top

01:32:00.860 senior management

01:32:02.440 and top executives

01:32:03.220 in Ameritrade

01:32:04.060 and the bigger

01:32:05.840 point is this

01:32:06.560 and we learned

01:32:07.040 this you know

01:32:07.820 we've learned

01:32:08.140 this over the

01:32:08.600 years in our

01:32:09.000 digitally delivered

01:32:10.100 classes and

01:32:10.740 for example

01:32:11.340 we did a

01:32:11.800 six week training

01:32:12.660 at Google

01:32:13.140 a couple years

01:32:14.080 ago which was a

01:32:14.800 joint learning

01:32:15.240 exercise

01:32:15.860 we were trying

01:32:17.520 some of the

01:32:17.820 stuff out

01:32:18.340 and we

01:32:19.000 trained them

01:32:19.560 up in kind

01:32:20.180 of four

01:32:20.560 high performance

01:32:21.140 basics like

01:32:21.880 sleep hygiene

01:32:22.460 getting up

01:32:22.900 sleep at night

01:32:23.500 kind of stuff

01:32:24.100 real basic

01:32:25.180 and then four

01:32:26.300 flow triggers

01:32:26.940 how do you

01:32:27.840 deploy these

01:32:28.580 in your life

01:32:29.080 and after a

01:32:30.140 six week period

01:32:30.780 and they did

01:32:31.100 about an hour

01:32:31.700 of homework a

01:32:32.420 day spread out

01:32:33.120 throughout the

01:32:33.420 day but it

01:32:33.720 took some work

01:32:34.660 but not a ton

01:32:35.880 they saw a

01:32:36.900 35 to 80%

01:32:38.140 increase in flow

01:32:39.040 now put this

01:32:40.020 in context

01:32:40.780 same McKinsey

01:32:41.780 article I talked

01:32:42.400 about earlier

01:32:42.780 the same study

01:32:43.360 found that a

01:32:44.440 15% increase

01:32:46.140 in workplace

01:32:46.740 flow will

01:32:47.740 double over

01:32:48.560 overall workplace

01:32:49.540 productivity

01:32:50.020 so what we've

01:32:51.940 learned is not

01:32:53.040 only does flow

01:32:53.520 have triggers

01:32:54.020 this stuff is

01:32:54.900 really easy to

01:32:55.540 teach it's not

01:32:57.320 it's and it's

01:32:58.460 funny because

01:32:58.880 everybody everybody

01:32:59.860 is basically we're

01:33:00.700 hardwired the same

01:33:01.580 we're wired for

01:33:02.500 high performance

01:33:03.140 so once you start

01:33:04.820 understanding how

01:33:05.560 this stuff works

01:33:06.400 you can really

01:33:07.680 step on the gas

01:33:08.580 so you you

01:33:10.880 don't have to do

01:33:11.920 this through

01:33:12.840 drugs drugs

01:33:14.420 through chemical

01:33:15.100 means right

01:33:16.140 no in fact

01:33:17.260 I mean you

01:33:18.680 you know we

01:33:19.660 there are a lot

01:33:20.500 there you have

01:33:21.640 to understand

01:33:22.080 that what you're

01:33:24.060 talking about is

01:33:24.800 pharmacology today

01:33:25.980 which has a long

01:33:27.800 history of

01:33:29.060 strong reactions

01:33:31.100 lots of politics

01:33:32.160 lots of mess

01:33:32.840 goes back a long

01:33:33.740 time tomorrow

01:33:34.960 you're going to be

01:33:35.820 talking about

01:33:36.840 a EEG headset

01:33:39.020 that zaps your

01:33:39.780 brain in particular

01:33:40.320 way we're already

01:33:41.240 getting there right

01:33:42.080 we have EEG

01:33:43.260 headsets that

01:33:44.020 can dial up a

01:33:45.220 lot of kind

01:33:46.860 of the underlying

01:33:47.760 neurobiology of

01:33:49.620 flow and they're

01:33:50.240 getting better

01:33:50.740 virtual reality is

01:33:51.780 better is really

01:33:53.540 good at this as

01:33:54.380 well so like you

01:33:56.020 have feelings about

01:33:57.080 hey I don't want

01:33:57.860 to I don't want to

01:33:58.640 take a pharmacological

01:33:59.520 route totally fine

01:34:01.120 right absolutely

01:34:02.020 valid you know

01:34:02.960 what I mean like

01:34:03.500 not for everybody

01:34:04.380 but you know it's

01:34:06.800 an interesting bias

01:34:07.600 because you know

01:34:08.660 our idea that we

01:34:09.500 if this is internal

01:34:10.660 and comes from us

01:34:11.460 it's pure and whole

01:34:12.360 and sacred you know

01:34:13.780 and drugs are

01:34:14.660 a cheater's way

01:34:16.320 there or they're

01:34:16.980 bad or whatever

01:34:17.580 fine okay that's

01:34:18.800 where we are right

01:34:19.360 now but tomorrow

01:34:20.320 it's going to be

01:34:20.980 an app on your

01:34:21.640 phone that's where

01:34:23.120 it starts to get

01:34:23.680 really interesting

01:34:24.320 wow well I want

01:34:25.440 to talk to you

01:34:25.820 about that a little

01:34:26.400 bit because you

01:34:28.500 say this is this

01:34:29.900 can be really really

01:34:31.100 good or highly

01:34:32.720 destructive well so

01:34:35.400 earlier I mentioned

01:34:36.580 that you get all

01:34:37.560 five of these really

01:34:38.460 potent neurochemicals

01:34:39.680 they're very

01:34:40.440 addictive all you

01:34:42.020 know I mean there's

01:34:42.920 no external drugs

01:34:45.760 cocaine for example

01:34:46.620 most addictive drug

01:34:47.500 on earth all it

01:34:48.300 does is flood the

01:34:49.040 brain with dopamine

01:34:50.100 right dopamine is

01:34:52.120 the drug that makes

01:34:53.800 you know that

01:34:54.660 underlies all

01:34:56.180 addictive behavior

01:34:56.960 right yes gambling

01:34:57.880 addiction sex addiction

01:34:58.760 shopping addiction

01:34:59.580 you know cocaine

01:35:01.040 addiction doesn't

01:35:01.780 matter so you're

01:35:03.980 getting at the same

01:35:04.580 endogenous

01:35:04.980 neurochemistry

01:35:05.620 so these states can

01:35:06.820 be very very

01:35:07.580 addictive and you 0.63

01:35:08.500 know one of the

01:35:08.920 things for example

01:35:10.140 creatives I talk

01:35:11.440 about this all one

01:35:12.360 of the reasons

01:35:12.700 creativity is very

01:35:13.460 hold on hold on

01:35:14.480 just a second

01:35:15.020 stealing fire is the

01:35:15.980 name of the book

01:35:16.500 back in just a

01:35:18.280 second

01:35:18.580 the glenn beck program

01:35:27.860 mercury

01:35:29.300 the glenn beck program

01:35:34.800 we're talking to

01:35:35.980 steven kotler um he

01:35:37.940 and jamie wheel wrote a

01:35:39.440 book called stealing

01:35:40.240 fire and it's it's

01:35:42.380 basically about how you

01:35:44.120 can get into a super

01:35:46.520 uh focused and

01:35:49.280 productive state like

01:35:50.860 five hundred percent

01:35:53.040 higher uh than where

01:35:55.160 you uh normally are

01:35:57.500 to be able to solve

01:35:58.840 problems and and see

01:36:01.540 the world in a

01:36:02.320 completely different

01:36:03.340 way and um it's

01:36:06.120 surprising because when

01:36:06.740 I first picked this up

01:36:07.740 it talks about tim

01:36:09.080 ferris who I respect a

01:36:10.320 great deal who has

01:36:12.300 done crazy things to

01:36:14.300 his body just to

01:36:15.900 check it out you

01:36:17.660 know what foods what

01:36:19.040 foods am I really

01:36:20.060 processing I'm going

01:36:21.100 to put a I'm going

01:36:22.100 to put a little uh

01:36:23.300 processor in in my

01:36:25.700 body to be able to

01:36:26.940 really check blood

01:36:28.000 sugar I mean he's a

01:36:29.540 crazy thinker in a

01:36:31.060 good way and uh as

01:36:33.140 I started reading this

01:36:34.240 uh and I haven't read

01:36:35.440 all of it um it it

01:36:37.660 it appeared as though

01:36:38.860 it was going towards a

01:36:40.260 place of hey you know

01:36:42.020 maybe you know LSD

01:36:44.040 is is the way to go

01:36:45.440 that's not the point

01:36:47.540 here the point can be

01:36:48.820 and I think you see it

01:36:49.760 even in the Bible for

01:36:50.780 anybody who's religious

01:36:51.680 where these guys have

01:36:53.240 gone off and prayed all

01:36:54.740 day and all night and

01:36:56.160 they come back and

01:36:57.360 they've got it they're

01:36:59.200 in the flow they have

01:37:01.340 concentrated and focused

01:37:03.720 and found prayer does

01:37:05.960 this to you to some

01:37:07.120 people it can totally

01:37:08.820 change um I think

01:37:11.600 your body chemistry

01:37:13.140 uh it does right

01:37:15.140 yeah for sure absolutely

01:37:16.200 so anyway you were

01:37:18.140 saying I'm sorry we

01:37:19.220 had to interrupt you

01:37:19.780 with a break Stephen go

01:37:20.680 ahead

01:37:20.840 no worries you you

01:37:21.660 would you would ask

01:37:22.260 about is there a dark

01:37:23.380 side here you know this

01:37:24.480 is a this is a great

01:37:25.260 upside and the dark I

01:37:26.700 mean historically we

01:37:28.420 talked earlier about

01:37:29.160 group flow right what

01:37:29.980 happens in a whole

01:37:30.760 collective group of

01:37:31.560 people well great

01:37:32.860 oratory especially if

01:37:34.920 you accompany that

01:37:35.580 oratory with lights and

01:37:36.760 sound and you know

01:37:37.760 and other things can

01:37:39.240 move people into this

01:37:40.620 state right Victor

01:37:41.780 Turner from the 0.78

01:37:42.540 University of Chicago

01:37:43.260 an anthropologist

01:37:44.000 talked about it called

01:37:45.180 it communitas and he

01:37:46.880 was talking about it

01:37:47.880 he was talking about

01:37:48.460 Hitler he was talking 1.00

01:37:49.820 about hey you know

01:37:51.320 great despots great

01:37:53.760 orators can move

01:37:54.980 can it can move their

01:37:56.040 people people and it's

01:37:57.260 you know the thing is

01:37:58.540 when the prefrontal

01:37:59.820 cortex the part of your

01:38:00.760 brain that shuts down

01:38:02.200 and flow goes away

01:38:03.600 there's great benefit

01:38:05.400 there's phenomenal

01:38:06.180 benefit but it also

01:38:07.440 shuts down certain

01:38:08.940 critical thinking

01:38:09.640 faculties and certain

01:38:10.600 long-term reasoning

01:38:11.500 faculties right this

01:38:12.460 we're not meant to

01:38:14.100 live in these states

01:38:15.180 right somebody comes

01:38:15.960 up to me about once a

01:38:16.940 month and says hey

01:38:17.860 Steven oh my god you

01:38:18.980 should study me I'm in

01:38:20.120 flow all the time and

01:38:21.700 I you know I used to

01:38:22.840 not know I used to get

01:38:23.660 really uncomfortable

01:38:24.060 now I'm like you know

01:38:25.000 I gotta tell you the

01:38:25.700 truth we got a word for

01:38:26.940 that we call that

01:38:27.620 schizophrenia you know or

01:38:30.700 bipolar disorder or you

01:38:32.200 know take take your pick

01:38:33.080 there's a whole bunch of

01:38:33.920 those you know that

01:38:35.420 diseases that are right

01:38:36.720 on the edge of these

01:38:37.440 experiences um right I

01:38:40.260 mean the altered state

01:38:40.940 spectrum starts on dreams

01:38:42.260 and one end goes to

01:38:43.180 schizophrenia on the other

01:38:44.280 we're talking about states

01:38:45.620 that are sort of in the

01:38:46.600 middle right and and

01:38:48.000 they're you know very very

01:38:49.320 powerful but there's

01:38:50.020 downside these states are

01:38:51.060 addictive I said

01:38:51.800 earlier that creatives

01:38:52.840 have the highest suicide

01:38:54.160 rate out of any

01:38:54.980 profession and creatives

01:38:55.920 need flow to do their

01:38:57.180 jobs as a writer I can

01:38:58.500 tell you this um right I

01:39:00.480 had to get really good at

01:39:01.740 this mostly out of

01:39:02.960 survival right like I did

01:39:04.680 that it was that's you

01:39:05.920 know that's where a lot of

01:39:07.060 it came from you know in

01:39:08.420 the beginning for me just

01:39:09.580 as a writer like if you

01:39:10.980 can't trip into these

01:39:12.300 states pretty quickly you're

01:39:13.580 not gonna have a job for

01:39:14.300 long so Stephen have you

01:39:15.520 ever read um uh Jonathan

01:39:17.360 hates book uh the

01:39:18.780 righteous mind yeah

01:39:19.940 absolutely I got a chance

01:39:22.060 to meet Jonathan not too

01:39:23.140 long ago amazing guy isn't

01:39:24.620 he yeah yeah so in that he

01:39:27.840 talks a little bit about the

01:39:29.160 elephant in the writer he uh

01:39:30.960 he he talks about uh things

01:39:33.540 shutting down and the and

01:39:35.100 the hits that we get from all

01:39:37.000 of these positive uh self-made

01:39:39.460 drugs and um he kind of uses

01:39:42.680 that in a way and and speaking

01:39:44.400 to him um uh off the air I you

01:39:49.380 know he I've said you know

01:39:51.080 Stephen I I I mean Jonathan I

01:39:53.080 think you've come up with you

01:39:54.620 know with with part of a

01:39:55.760 solution here to solve our

01:39:57.080 nation's problems and being

01:39:58.460 able to talk to each other

01:39:59.580 well let me I mean let me

01:40:00.740 invert it for you I'm

01:40:02.180 working on a conference

01:40:03.120 right now so what happens

01:40:05.040 in a terrorist training camp

01:40:06.280 they put people in the flow

01:40:08.280 that's I mean if you look at

01:40:10.260 kind of cultic programming

01:40:11.580 right and I don't we tell

01:40:13.080 people the flow genome

01:40:13.720 project don't go shopping in

01:40:15.320 a flow state everything's

01:40:16.580 going to look great right and

01:40:18.540 so I'm I'm I'm working with

01:40:20.080 a lot of different people in

01:40:21.180 the first part right now to

01:40:22.340 talk about you know there's a

01:40:24.180 neurobiological addiction

01:40:25.740 connection underneath all the

01:40:26.680 socio-political stuff that

01:40:27.760 generates terrorism you're 0.52

01:40:30.080 dealing with an addictive

01:40:31.160 behavior and really potent

01:40:32.940 neurochemistry so you have to

01:40:34.360 if you're not you know people

01:40:36.200 I for me people always talk

01:40:37.880 about if you're going to fight

01:40:38.860 terrorism for example you got

01:40:39.860 to get to the source well the

01:40:41.300 source is neurobiological in all

01:40:42.900 of us that's the source my wife

01:40:45.520 must be in a constant state of

01:40:47.120 flow every time she goes to

01:40:48.360 Costco right it's like so so

01:40:50.780 Stephen here is stop so let me

01:40:53.020 take this a step further and

01:40:54.200 it's probably a conversation I

01:40:55.380 should have off the air with

01:40:56.280 you but I am looking I am very

01:41:01.780 concerned about for instance last

01:41:04.400 week when the assassination

01:41:06.020 attempt happened at the ballpark

01:41:08.360 you know I immediately got on the

01:41:11.600 air and said look there's going to

01:41:14.360 be two kinds of people they're going

01:41:17.780 to be those who are saying see this

01:41:21.120 is what happened and you caused

01:41:22.660 blah blah blah or see now your side

01:41:25.840 did this and then that's going to

01:41:27.940 feel good it's going to feel good to

01:41:30.080 bash people and argue people and

01:41:32.280 everything else then there's going to

01:41:33.500 be other people who know that's not

01:41:36.360 healthy and it's not healthy to read

01:41:39.420 it it's not healthy to be part of it

01:41:41.280 you got to stay away from that stuff

01:41:43.620 and I explained on the air that you

01:41:46.880 know when you see quote your side

01:41:49.960 have a a time of righteous indignation

01:41:53.860 you're going to get all kinds of hits

01:41:56.380 of dopamine and I think I think

01:41:59.000 Facebook and especially Twitter is is

01:42:03.140 just overloading us with dopamine of

01:42:08.940 yeah I mean it's a double hit right you

01:42:11.480 get one hit so this is Robert

01:42:14.020 Spolsky's work at Stanford where one

01:42:16.840 of the reasons is so it's so other

01:42:18.400 flow triggers just for quick to back

01:42:20.080 this into novelty complexity and

01:42:21.640 unpredictability all grab hold of

01:42:24.180 attention drive into the present

01:42:25.500 moment they massively spike dopamine

01:42:27.340 in fact when we look at Facebook and

01:42:30.440 we may or may not have a message

01:42:31.880 somebody may or not may not have liked

01:42:33.320 our poster or whatever right if

01:42:36.240 there's a like there we get a 400%

01:42:38.820 spike in dopamine that's almost cocaine

01:42:41.240 levels now added to that right you got

01:42:44.820 to figure out first order of business

01:42:46.360 of the brain is survival so the brain

01:42:49.000 is constantly scanning the environment

01:42:51.080 for danger letting occasional positive

01:42:53.700 things through but it's really looking

01:42:55.700 to make you feel safe so when you show

01:42:58.020 up on Twitter and not only has somebody

01:43:00.940 posted you know like your hate screen

01:43:03.380 they've they've they've seconded the

01:43:05.360 motion take you know yeah so you get

01:43:08.320 that 400% dopamine spike from that

01:43:10.540 somebody somebody agrees with you

01:43:12.640 you're safer in the world we're safer

01:43:14.680 in numbers it's fundamental evolutionary

01:43:17.220 biology right so suddenly it's a

01:43:19.340 double hit and that's you know it's

01:43:23.100 your day you're absolutely correct we're

01:43:24.360 looking at addictive behavior and it's

01:43:25.980 spiral no place good because so that's

01:43:29.300 where that's where I'm stuck with with

01:43:31.780 Jonathan hates work is mmm he's got a

01:43:36.320 way out but we don't have the dopamine

01:43:39.260 hit we don't have the thing that

01:43:41.440 triggers us into the flow in a positive

01:43:44.820 way you know interesting though because

01:43:47.000 one of the things we know about flow

01:43:48.680 um there's 50 60 years of work done at

01:43:52.580 Harvard and other places that kind of

01:43:53.820 backs this up is that the more access

01:43:56.900 you get to the state right you talked

01:43:58.320 about how it can help you solve complex

01:43:59.820 problems right the reason it happens is

01:44:02.160 in the state not only is information

01:44:03.740 processing totally jacked up but

01:44:07.080 empathy expands we take in different

01:44:10.920 information so we could write like one

01:44:13.020 of the problems for example in the

01:44:15.080 environmental movement has is people

01:44:16.720 who live in the cities and there's 50

01:44:17.940 years of eco psychology that backs up

01:44:19.780 don't even see nature because we stop

01:44:21.920 having to process it it's not critical we

01:44:24.040 don't even look at it so like when

01:44:25.900 you're trying to have an environmental

01:44:27.100 discussion with somebody who's living in

01:44:28.680 New York it doesn't matter how much

01:44:31.000 they care about the planet they

01:44:32.440 actually can't take in the raw data

01:44:34.220 right we have filters biases and

01:44:37.140 confirmation bias is the strongest

01:44:38.560 among them we get past those biases

01:44:40.700 we expand beyond them in these states

01:44:42.940 these states over time they widen

01:44:45.440 empathy and this is kind of welcome

01:44:47.220 and they give us the ability the reason

01:44:49.160 we can solve critical challenges is you

01:44:50.760 start to be able to see multiple

01:44:52.500 perspectives from all the way around

01:44:54.100 the problem why because your sense of

01:44:55.660 self which normally drives the bus which

01:44:58.020 is all those filters is turned off

01:45:00.720 so in this in this summer we go in a

01:45:03.100 summer my family goes up to the

01:45:04.680 mountains where there isn't light for you

01:45:07.820 know 25 miles easy there's like nobody

01:45:11.480 and we stand and you can see the the the

01:45:16.040 Milky Way is 3d and in color and when I

01:45:19.820 was living in New York I remember I first

01:45:21.740 went out and and I stood out there for

01:45:24.940 hours and it was the first time in years

01:45:29.100 years that I had thought wow we are small

01:45:33.000 and insignificant did you get the time

01:45:35.400 slow down for you yes yeah that's the

01:45:38.020 front that's all is essentially the front

01:45:40.140 end of a flow state right it's the

01:45:41.540 prefrontal cortex going holy crap

01:45:44.060 there's a lot of stuff up there I can't

01:45:45.960 process it because the conscious brain is

01:45:48.220 very limited it can only hold on to so

01:45:49.840 many things at once it dumps it over to

01:45:51.500 the subconscious which is what happens

01:45:52.900 in flow right and the subconscious takes

01:45:55.060 over which can process much more

01:45:56.340 information per second and it time seems

01:45:58.540 to slow down it's actually a measure of

01:46:00.580 information processing the brain the more

01:46:02.740 you're processing the slower it's going

01:46:04.300 that's what's happening are you in a

01:46:07.380 constant state of flow no I mean I you

01:46:10.540 know I'm not I and I mean my life I've

01:46:12.960 reduced I do six things five of them

01:46:14.700 produce flow like a really I've really

01:46:16.760 really willed it down I'm very good at

01:46:18.520 this but so you can get into it pretty

01:46:20.920 much anytime you want well yes and no I

01:46:23.340 mean I will tell you that stealing fire

01:46:25.100 for example this particular book I've

01:46:26.640 written it's my ninth eighth book um it

01:46:30.260 was a very challenging book um there

01:46:32.540 was a there's a massive amounts of

01:46:34.600 information massive amounts of data

01:46:36.100 across six or seven disciplines

01:46:38.140 tremendous amounts of research very

01:46:39.860 hard to assemble wasn't in flow for the

01:46:42.120 entire book I've never had an

01:46:42.980 experience like that it was really a

01:46:44.780 struggle and you know and I'm 50 years

01:46:47.160 old and one of the best in the world

01:46:48.860 and that was my experience so you get

01:46:51.520 better at it for sure and you can use it

01:46:54.020 to do great stuff and level up your

01:46:55.360 career but that's not you know I if

01:46:57.420 there's expertise out there you know a

01:46:59.500 sure thing I don't know about it yet

01:47:01.340 would you would you say this is a little

01:47:02.980 bit like did you see the movie timeless

01:47:04.980 with Bradley Cooper limitless

01:47:07.920 limitless she's the bane of my existence 1.00

01:47:10.680 I yell at my friend Leslie wrote it and

01:47:12.860 every time I'm around her I'm just like

01:47:14.180 you have no idea every conversation I

01:47:16.280 want the limitless pill I mean this does

01:47:19.160 sound somewhat like that though right well

01:47:21.020 there's a search for it in a natural way

01:47:23.180 right and and by the way there's I mean

01:47:26.180 there is no limitless pill we we we

01:47:28.220 barely have the brain imaging technology

01:47:30.140 at this point to find the neurochemicals

01:47:31.940 deep in the brain like we're we're a ways

01:47:34.400 from that pill let's just say we'll get

01:47:35.960 there using optogenetics or something

01:47:37.780 else first long before we get there in a

01:47:39.480 pill that's disappointing news I'm not

01:47:42.640 saying you won't be able to turn it on and

01:47:44.080 off like a light switch we you you will it'll

01:47:46.780 just be using different technology than

01:47:48.620 probably you know pharmacological pharmacological

01:47:51.420 interventions are just fairly crude in

01:47:53.480 how they interact with the system and we

01:47:55.120 can get much more precise now Steven you

01:47:57.860 are fascinating and I would love to talk

01:47:59.960 to you spend some time off air and and and

01:48:02.380 also just next time you're in town have you

01:48:04.920 here at your this is just fascinating and I'm

01:48:08.720 sorry that I didn't get to the whole book and

01:48:10.920 we'll have you on again when I have finished

01:48:12.640 the whole book thank you so much Steven

01:48:14.620 awesome my pleasure appreciate it the name of

01:48:16.420 the book is stealing fire how Silicon Valley

01:48:18.880 and the Navy SEALs and maverick scientists

01:48:20.720 are revolutionizing the way we live in the

01:48:23.580 way we work the depth that on the cover

01:48:26.220 that's a that is a long time using the flow

01:48:29.060 when he wrote it that's the yeah it take I

01:48:31.980 could read it 500 times faster than wow

01:48:35.520 when I'm in the flow and then now this

01:48:37.880 United States concealed carry association the

01:48:41.280 first and largest organization dedicated to

01:48:43.580 protecting responsible gun owners during

01:48:46.740 before and after a self-defense incident we

01:48:52.140 think about you know what would we do if

01:48:54.580 somebody broke into our house somebody's

01:48:56.120 threatening our children that made some of

01:48:59.480 us buy guns and we thought what are we

01:49:02.660 going to do during are we going to be capable

01:49:05.720 of pulling a gun are we going to be capable

01:49:07.880 of using it the right way we've done a lot of

01:49:12.500 thinking on that we don't necessarily think

01:49:15.100 about what happens after you've used the gun

01:49:18.760 and the police come it is a hair raising and

01:49:24.420 quite honestly financially draining experience if

01:49:28.200 you ever have to pull a gun on somebody it's

01:49:31.160 about three years before your life gets back to

01:49:33.820 normal and God only knows how much how much

01:49:36.920 you've spent in attorney fees it can destroy

01:49:39.400 your life that's why I highly recommend you go

01:49:43.960 to protect and defend dot-com right now and

01:49:46.900 find out what they have to offer in insurance

01:49:50.460 to be able when you pull the trigger the bad

01:49:53.920 guy is gone now new bad guys with briefcases

01:49:57.460 attorneys show up you need somebody to protect

01:50:01.320 you the protector and that is the United States

01:50:05.020 Concealed Carry Association and right now for

01:50:07.720 July 4th five lucky people are going to win

01:50:10.080 $1,776 to buy the gun and the ammo of their

01:50:13.740 choice you want to win 1776 go to protect

01:50:17.460 and defend dot-com right now your right to

01:50:21.380 carry a gun is there the right to protection

01:50:26.340 for you is also out there and you'll find it

01:50:29.280 protect and defend dot-com five chances for

01:50:33.000 you to win do it now protect and defend dot-com

01:50:35.600 this is the Glenn Beck program mercury

01:50:40.480 the Glenn Beck program

01:50:45.940 hello America and welcome to the program we're

01:50:55.280 just we're just screwing off at this point that

01:50:58.560 was an amazing conversation I don't know if I

01:51:01.860 don't know how you might have related to that

01:51:05.920 but I found that fascinating well everyone's I

01:51:09.480 mean you know you of course didn't understand a

01:51:11.580 sports reference at all but when everybody's

01:51:13.540 been in the zone right I mean everyone's been in

01:51:15.520 the zone in some point in their lives whether it's

01:51:18.040 in sports whether it's in at work whether it's I

01:51:20.980 mean doing so many different things and it's

01:51:22.460 like you if you could actually just turn that on

01:51:24.220 I mean it would completely change your life and

01:51:26.360 and probably change the world because we could

01:51:28.220 actually figure out how to do that along a large

01:51:30.660 population yeah now how do you and like he said

01:51:33.320 the dark side is you'd be careful turning it on

01:51:36.040 you know we turn it on before a great candidate

01:51:38.980 speech who you might want to turn that zone

01:51:42.760 off because that candidate if that candidate has

01:51:45.680 ill will it can play right into your zone I mean

01:51:48.860 it's that's just I mean a ridiculous idea though

01:51:51.480 like a politician would have ill will

01:51:53.060 what are the odds oh that's crazy talk could

01:51:58.080 never happen no yeah it's really interesting I

01:52:01.800 mean it's and it's funny because that's really

01:52:03.500 what politicians do and you know with the red

01:52:06.820 white and blue and the balloons and the band and

01:52:09.560 the all of the excitement there they're trying to put

01:52:12.940 you into that heightened position to you know it's

01:52:16.920 it's old-fashioned propaganda if you will the

01:52:21.040 star-spangled banner and uncle Sam and I think this

01:52:27.360 is the Glenn Beck program mercury
