00:00:00.000 The Blaze Radio Network, on demand.
00:00:08.200 Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:10.600 It is Monday, a lot to recap over the weekend.
00:00:14.220 China, cash is rapidly becoming obsolete.
00:00:17.980 They are going to a cashless society.
00:00:20.360 On Friday, we told you about a project that Visa is doing here in the United States.
00:00:25.000 Charlie Gard's parents angry that the baby's lawyer is actually the head of a charity that backs assisted dying.
00:00:33.900 Elon Musk warns governors over the weekend, AI is a fundamental risk to civilization.
00:00:41.380 And attention geeks like me, Doctor Who is happy about the change.
00:00:50.480 Because next season, he's changing into a woman.
00:00:56.880 We begin there, right now.
00:00:59.160 I will make a stand. I will raise my voice. I will hold your hand.
00:01:07.080 Because we are one. I will beat my drum. I have made my choice.
00:01:13.360 We will overcome. Because we are one.
00:01:17.340 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
00:01:21.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:26.160 I'll admit it, I'm a freak.
00:01:28.500 I'm a Doctor Who geek.
00:01:30.900 I've loved Doctor Who for the last five or six years.
00:01:34.900 My son and I watch it.
00:01:36.360 Last night, I found out the news.
00:01:38.960 I went in and I told him.
00:01:40.380 He put his head under his pillow.
00:01:42.820 And just all I heard was, oh, hmm.
00:01:48.860 Doctor Who is, quote, excited about this change.
00:01:53.880 The character that England enjoyed since the 1960s and America pretty much is ignored until recently.
00:02:03.280 Next season is changing into a woman.
00:02:05.660 Now, frankly, I want to put this into perspective.
00:02:11.340 I don't really care.
00:02:13.080 I'm a fan of the show, but I can just stop watching the show.
00:02:16.720 I mean, if it's a great story, that's all I care about.
00:02:20.500 But I have to tell you, I am sick of the lecture that we all have to endure from producers of television shows
00:02:29.060 that just want to show all the other producers
00:02:31.820 that they can be the truly most politically corrected show or network of them all.
00:02:39.540 After all, these TV shows are very important to humanity, you know.
00:02:43.840 So let everyone hear from here to Alpha Centauri that the BBC is way, way far ahead of all other space police box driving Time Lord doctor shows.
00:02:59.200 They are the most politically correct.
00:03:02.680 Now, if America, who is always behind, could just get Captain Kirk to make it with a tap dancing green man who has no legs.
00:03:13.840 Then all of the enlightened producers will have all the other characters refuse to point out
00:03:19.620 that those green tap dancing men with no legs cannot tap dance, let alone dance, walk, or even move
00:03:26.460 because they have no feet or legs.
00:03:29.460 Wow.
00:03:30.820 That would sure teach those bigoted small town dummies who watch, who the producers despise, a thing or two.
00:03:38.940 Yes, how progressive our television shows can be.
00:03:45.180 Then we can all truly be happy.
00:03:49.420 Let us all toast to the end of all oppression.
00:03:54.160 Well, except for the tiny problem of most of the women in the Middle East aren't allowed to drive or leave their house without a man.
00:04:00.940 Or the fact that in some of those same countries they beat gay men to death or throw them off of rooftops.
00:04:08.740 I mean, that is if gays even exist.
00:04:11.440 Iran claims that gayness is caused by the evil Western culture and thus they have no gay people
00:04:17.220 except for those that they have to execute, beat to death, or throw off the roofs of buildings.
00:04:22.520 But other than that, well, and the slaves that make your Apple iPhone
00:04:27.480 or the 6,000 women and children that are currently used as sex slaves by ISIS.
00:04:32.960 This Doctor Who innovation is definitely going to be the end of all oppression.
00:04:41.460 Even though there are currently more slaves than there were during the entire 400 years of the Western slave trade combined.
00:04:48.900 But don't pay any attention because Doctor Who is finally, and I say it again, finally, gender fluid.
00:05:00.020 And, oh, it's going to be so good because we all need to be taught to be much more tolerant of gender fluidity.
00:05:11.060 Because it's one of the most important things in the entire Western world.
00:05:16.220 It is what's holding Western civilization back from being as great as all of the other civilizations on planet Earth.
00:05:24.260 Man, we are going to be remembered by historians in the best possible light.
00:05:30.760 I can almost hear their voices now.
00:05:34.200 Wow, these people really saw the truth.
00:05:36.860 The cold, hard facts.
00:05:38.580 They didn't scare this group of people off.
00:05:40.900 Oh, no, sir.
00:05:42.000 Not in 2017 or 2018 when they saw that the Western culture that had freed more people, fed more people,
00:05:49.820 and more than doubled lifespans of all humans wouldn't have a female space alien doctor with two hearts on a TV show.
00:05:59.000 Well, damn it, the BBC sprang into action and made all the difference in the world.
00:06:05.760 Oh, sir, those people were better than us today, I'll tell you that.
00:06:10.900 They didn't waste a second.
00:06:12.140 They fixed it, and then they called people bigots who thought it was all nonsense.
00:06:17.260 And then they went on ignoring the actual death count and the suffering and the beatings and the beheadings
00:06:24.080 and the root of the 8th century style oppression while watching Doctor Who or Doctor Her on their iPhone,
00:06:31.480 which was made by Chinese slaves.
00:06:33.140 Man, if we could just be more like those people that lived in 2017, historians are going to say that.
00:06:46.900 By the way, no animals were hurt in this monologue,
00:06:50.360 and I or no one on the program did accept any money from the tobacco industry to depict smoking.
00:06:56.380 However, Charlie Gard may be dead due to British socialized medicine death panels by the end of the week,
00:07:03.300 but pay no attention.
00:07:06.400 Doctor Who is gender fluid.
00:07:09.020 I can't take our society anymore.
00:07:21.680 We are actually talking now about...
00:07:26.300 Who's this stupid singer that is running for Senate now?
00:07:35.780 What's his name?
00:07:37.040 Kid Rock.
00:07:37.480 Kid Rock.
00:07:38.640 That's going to be so great.
00:07:40.900 If we could just get the original cast from the MTV real world,
00:07:47.360 because they're probably one of those guys are probably old enough to be president now.
00:07:52.040 If we could just get them to be president,
00:07:54.520 in fact, why don't we just make the White House the real world?
00:08:01.580 I mean, we could just have, like, a whole bunch of people,
00:08:04.780 and they're all just all trying to be president.
00:08:07.160 And we could just watch it and laugh and be entertained.
00:08:13.500 Let's not really think of anything deep.
00:08:16.320 Let's not actually discuss anything of meaning.
00:08:19.540 Let's just have our shows lecture us.
00:08:23.260 Let's just have all of our history books tell us how bad the Western way of life is.
00:08:30.080 Because it's so good everywhere else.
00:08:33.620 China, you know, is leading the way.
00:08:35.620 China, you know, is really the model for what comes next.
00:08:40.220 And, oh, I just want to go over there and just drink the pure water
00:08:45.500 by cupping it out in my hands right out of the rivers.
00:08:49.960 I just want to breathe deep the crystal clear air
00:08:55.280 and be able to live my life and pursue my happiness
00:09:00.040 the way the Chinese government allows you to.
00:09:03.480 It's so fantastic.
00:09:05.700 Ah, I'm glad we know up from down and left from right and right from wrong.
00:09:17.000 Now this, Liberty Safe not only makes great safes,

00:10:25.340 We've seen Liberty Safes not bolted to the foundation,
00:10:28.920 picked up by a tornado, dropped three blocks away.

00:10:51.680 To the Glenn Beck Program.
00:10:56.120 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:11:00.020 Mercury.
00:11:00.420 Mercury.
00:11:03.260 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
00:11:06.780 Charlie Gard update.
00:11:08.720 The parents have privately expressed their concern after discovering that the lawyer
00:11:13.060 that has been appointed by the court to represent their 11-month-old son
00:11:17.280 is the chairperson of Compassion in Dying,
00:11:23.760 the sister organization to Dignity in Dying,
00:11:26.120 which is campaigning for a change in the law to make assisted dying legal in the UK.
00:11:30.500 Dignity in Dying used to be called Voluntary Euthanasia Society.
00:11:38.020 So, the court didn't think it was a problem
00:11:42.720 to appoint as Charlie Gard's attorney
00:11:47.340 someone who is in charge of the euthanasia program in England.
00:11:54.340 But, I don't, why would they have a problem with that?
00:11:59.800 A source close to the parents said,
00:12:02.420 the family finds it astonishing
00:12:03.880 that the court appointed the barrister to act in the interest of Charlie Gard
00:12:08.680 as the chairman of Compassion in Dying,
00:12:10.220 the sister body of Dignity in Dying.
00:12:12.860 It looks like a profound conflict of interest.
00:12:16.960 Now.
00:12:17.360 Here's what's amazing is
00:12:21.260 they didn't know this before.
00:12:24.500 Today, the American neurosurgeon
00:12:26.580 who claims to have pioneered an experimental treatment
00:12:29.220 who says he can help Charlie
00:12:30.620 will examine him.
00:12:32.420 He flew in from New York over the weekend.
00:12:35.500 He examines him today.
00:12:37.820 Compassion in Dying says
00:12:39.000 it was wrong to suggest there's any conflict of interest
00:12:41.760 between the role of the attorney
00:12:44.540 in representing Charlie's guardian in court
00:12:47.160 and her view that adults with full mental capacity
00:12:50.540 should be allowed to plan their own death.
00:12:53.020 The charity said,
00:12:54.220 there are clear differences between this in this case,
00:12:57.080 the work of dignity in dying
00:12:58.280 and the work of compassion in dying.
00:13:00.460 Charlie Gard case is about making decisions
00:13:02.160 in the best interest of a seriously ill child.
00:13:05.460 Ah.
00:13:06.940 Okay.
00:13:08.720 The high court ruled in April
00:13:09.920 Charlie should be allowed to die with dignity.
00:13:12.700 Isn't that the...
00:13:13.780 Oh, no.
00:13:14.360 See, it's completely different.
00:13:15.620 She works for dignity in dying.
00:13:17.860 The court just wanted him to die with dignity,
00:13:20.360 which is, of course, the opposite.
00:13:22.780 No, it's the same.
00:13:24.220 The words are just turned around.
00:13:25.580 No, it's the opposite.
00:13:26.380 Dignity in dying.
00:13:28.020 And the court said
00:13:29.000 they wanted him to die with dignity.
00:13:31.860 Yeah, it's a rearranging of the words.
00:13:33.100 No, it's a complete reversal of that.
00:13:34.980 You need to look up the word opposite.
00:13:36.300 That's just amazing.
00:13:40.360 That's just amazing.
00:13:41.920 Really, seriously, you know,
00:13:44.200 I used to say you will not recognize your country.
00:13:47.940 You won't recognize anything else.
00:13:50.240 I don't...
00:13:52.080 I don't even...
00:13:53.560 I don't even want to read the news anymore.
00:13:56.800 Try this on for size.
00:13:57.600 It was a performance art piece that became famous.
00:14:01.680 A woman who felt that Columbia University
00:14:04.500 had mishandled her charge of a rape
00:14:06.620 against a fellow student
00:14:08.140 turned that anger into her senior arts thesis,
00:14:11.360 a year-long project
00:14:13.460 in which she carried a 50-pound mattress
00:14:16.300 whenever she was on the campus.
00:14:19.460 The woman won national acclaim
00:14:23.360 and was largely embraced by her fellow students
00:14:26.300 who often helped her carry
00:14:27.800 her burdened mattress.
00:14:30.580 She even brought the mattress
00:14:32.220 to the graduation ceremony in 2015.
00:14:36.080 The accused man
00:14:37.180 who had been cleared of all responsibility
00:14:41.320 in the case by the university
00:14:44.180 found himself alternately hounded
00:14:46.900 and ostracized
00:14:48.100 and condemned
00:14:49.460 at a campus rally
00:14:50.740 and on flyers
00:14:52.220 posted around the campus.
00:14:54.220 A month before
00:14:55.440 she received their degrees,
00:14:57.560 he sued Columbia,
00:14:59.260 accusing it of supporting
00:15:00.400 what he called
00:15:01.040 an outrageous display
00:15:02.180 of harassment
00:15:02.840 and defamation.
00:15:05.020 He said that
00:15:05.840 the university
00:15:06.880 may have gone too far
00:15:08.700 by giving her academic credit
00:15:10.740 for the art project.
00:15:14.780 Thank God
00:15:15.780 he won in court.
00:15:18.100 Columbia has to pay.
00:15:20.540 She went on to do
00:15:21.720 I believe a very classy
00:15:23.440 porn movie,
00:15:24.160 didn't she?
00:15:25.120 Jeffy?
00:15:26.600 Do you remember that?
00:15:27.680 She was filmed
00:15:28.320 with one of her other boyfriends,
00:15:30.140 yeah.
00:15:30.400 Yeah, because we talked about this
00:15:31.560 at the time.
00:15:32.220 She became a little bit
00:15:33.160 of a porn queen.
00:15:34.600 Well, look,
00:15:35.420 you have sex on a camera,
00:15:36.980 it's not always,
00:15:38.380 you're not always a queen,
00:15:40.760 but there was some sex
00:15:42.300 going on on the camera,
00:15:43.840 yes.
00:15:45.280 So she made use of that mattress.
00:15:47.240 Yes, she did.
00:15:47.900 She didn't make use
00:15:48.280 of the mattress.
00:15:49.020 Columbia recognizes,
00:15:50.240 this is the quote from Columbia,
00:15:51.620 Columbia recognizes
00:15:53.080 that after the conclusion
00:15:54.320 of the investigation,
00:15:55.940 Paul's remaining time
00:15:57.100 at Columbia
00:15:57.560 became very difficult
00:15:58.920 for him
00:16:00.060 and not what Columbia
00:16:01.560 would want any of its students
00:16:03.140 to experience.
00:16:04.840 Columbia will continue
00:16:06.020 to review and update
00:16:07.260 its policies
00:16:08.000 towards ensuring
00:16:08.800 that every student,
00:16:10.180 accuser,
00:16:10.900 and accused,
00:16:12.060 including those like Paul,
00:16:13.580 who are found
00:16:15.000 not responsible
00:16:16.880 is treated respectfully
00:16:19.320 and is a full member
00:16:20.200 of the Columbia community.
00:16:22.340 Oh.
00:16:23.460 Yeah, it's been a couple years
00:16:24.540 since we first talked about that,
00:16:25.640 but it seems like
00:16:26.260 they had consensual sex,
00:16:27.580 right,
00:16:27.820 that she later regretted
00:16:28.900 and then tried to say
00:16:30.180 it was rape.
00:16:30.680 It was something
00:16:31.400 along those lines.
00:16:33.540 Well, no,
00:16:34.140 you can be raped
00:16:35.100 even if you have
00:16:35.680 after the fact.
00:16:36.140 After the fact is rape.
00:16:37.320 No.
00:16:37.660 No, yes it is.
00:16:38.740 No.
00:16:39.480 You didn't understand
00:16:40.360 the dying with dignity,
00:16:41.520 dignity with dying thing.
00:16:42.240 No, I didn't.
00:16:42.600 How do I expect you
00:16:43.620 to understand rape
00:16:44.580 after the fact?
00:16:46.260 You can't.
00:16:47.640 And I love the idea
00:16:48.580 that he was cleared
00:16:49.960 by the university.
00:16:51.500 What the hell
00:16:52.380 does a university
00:16:53.120 have to do
00:16:53.680 with a rape case?
00:16:54.600 Yeah, you know.
00:16:55.060 Stop trying rape cases
00:16:56.840 in college.
00:16:58.060 They should go to the police.
00:16:59.580 We have a justice system
00:17:00.840 to figure out
00:17:01.400 when people are raped or not.
00:17:02.960 You don't figure out,
00:17:03.640 oh, well,
00:17:04.120 you know,
00:17:04.360 I don't know,
00:17:05.180 ask the dean.
00:17:05.720 Maybe he can tell us
00:17:06.740 if she was raped.
00:17:08.060 That's not how
00:17:08.740 this is supposed to work.
00:17:09.760 Oh, I remember.
00:17:10.620 I remember when I was
00:17:11.980 young and naive like that.
00:17:13.780 Police don't understand
00:17:15.220 the nuances of rape.
00:17:17.140 I would say
00:17:17.840 they understand it better
00:17:18.900 than most school administrators,
00:17:20.840 you know,
00:17:21.380 considering they're trained
00:17:22.360 specifically.
00:17:23.200 Not when one in nine women
00:17:25.160 are raped on college campuses.
00:17:27.220 In how many?
00:17:27.860 One in nine.
00:17:28.880 One in nine?
00:17:29.480 Yes, that's how prevalent it is.
00:17:31.460 What do you mean?
00:17:32.800 It's actually more rape
00:17:34.180 than people who are there.
00:17:35.260 So it's nine in one?
00:17:36.480 Yes, nine in one.
00:17:37.300 Nine in one.
00:17:37.880 One in nine is actually less
00:17:39.360 than the seven is better.
00:17:40.420 One in nine is less than the one in five.
00:17:41.280 That's right.
00:17:42.000 It's nine in one women are raped.
00:17:43.700 Wow, that's terrible.
00:17:44.780 Yeah.
00:17:45.080 That's cool.
00:17:46.100 Yeah, because I don't know,
00:17:47.660 it seems like people who work
00:17:49.640 in law enforcement
00:17:51.480 go through extensive training
00:17:53.060 on how to find evidence
00:17:55.140 on such cases,
00:17:56.800 to interrogate witnesses.
00:17:58.040 No, no, no.
00:18:00.300 In the old school,
00:18:02.180 the police don't understand oppression.
00:18:04.660 And they don't understand
00:18:05.680 white privilege.
00:18:07.040 Amen to that, brother.
00:18:08.860 Yeah.
00:18:09.380 So.
00:18:10.660 I mean,
00:18:11.420 so the white college dean
00:18:14.160 understands white privilege.
00:18:16.700 Oh, yes.
00:18:17.460 The African-American police officer.
00:18:19.160 He has to or he'll lose his job.
00:18:21.580 So he understands it better than most
00:18:24.200 because he,
00:18:25.720 white people would say,
00:18:26.880 overcompensates.
00:18:28.160 The white dean at the college
00:18:29.700 may be more black
00:18:30.560 than most black people.
00:18:32.520 And I'm sure they believe
00:18:34.000 that about themselves.
00:18:35.140 I'll bet they do.
00:18:35.980 Oh, yeah.
00:18:36.440 I'll bet they do.
00:18:36.960 This is such an amazing,
00:18:38.520 does it say how much Paul got
00:18:40.100 for being wrongly accused like this
00:18:41.760 and being a railroad?
00:18:43.460 I've already thrown it away.
00:18:44.840 Let me get it out of the trash.
00:18:45.680 At one point,
00:18:46.300 they kicked him out of school.
00:18:47.680 I mean, his life was really
00:18:49.620 turned upside down by this thing.
00:18:51.460 Well, I will tell you
00:18:52.400 that they were very upset
00:18:54.440 because they're afraid now
00:18:57.560 with Betsy DeVos
00:18:59.220 being the Secretary of Education
00:19:00.800 that the days when, you know,
00:19:04.040 rape was just swept under the rug
00:19:06.100 is coming back quickly.
00:19:09.160 So I'm just looking for a price
00:19:12.440 or what they paid.
00:19:13.740 Was that part of
00:19:14.520 what they actually said?
00:19:16.460 Uh-huh.
00:19:17.060 Yeah, yeah.
00:19:17.680 Of course.
00:19:18.440 Can you believe
00:19:18.860 after they railroaded this kid,
00:19:20.940 they had the nerve
00:19:21.740 to continue to say that?
00:19:23.640 After they railroaded him,
00:19:24.960 they've got to railroad somebody.
00:19:26.120 It's what they do.
00:19:27.940 Yeah.
00:19:28.380 It's what they do.
00:19:29.720 Again, think of this, though.
00:19:31.020 This is,
00:19:31.500 we would all probably agree,
00:19:33.060 is the second most serious crime
00:19:35.820 that exists in humanity
00:19:37.240 outside of maybe murder.
00:19:39.720 And we're like,
00:19:40.740 oh, let's just let some people
00:19:42.080 at school figure out who did it.
00:19:43.660 Like, this is the exact reason
00:19:46.200 we have the law enforcement.
00:19:47.040 This is much more important
00:19:48.120 than the people
00:19:48.660 who are actually dying
00:19:49.720 all over the world.
00:19:51.120 The people who are actually
00:19:52.420 feeling the oppressive weight.
00:19:54.500 Hey, did I tell you?
00:19:56.380 Doctor who?
00:19:57.760 Flender, gender fluid now.
00:19:59.540 Oh, good.
00:20:00.100 Good.
00:20:00.600 It's going to be great.
00:20:01.300 Well, they fixed that show then.
00:20:02.340 We fixed that show.
00:20:03.720 Fixed it.
00:20:03.960 Forget about everything else.
00:20:05.980 You're listening to
00:20:10.860 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:14.080 Mercury.
00:20:17.800 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:20.440 Oh, you're going to be so happy.
00:20:23.140 And this does not fit into our theme today
00:20:25.560 of you're living in a country
00:20:27.100 that you no longer recognize at all.
00:20:31.100 Well, this falls right into
00:20:34.540 the category of
00:20:40.020 it's just like it's always been.
00:20:42.840 Let me tell you a little bit
00:20:43.620 about Bell Plains, Minnesota.
00:20:45.520 Bell Plains, Minnesota,
00:20:46.620 cute little town of about 6,000 people.
00:20:49.400 One of the biggest events of the year
00:20:51.180 is their annual 4th of July celebration.
00:20:53.980 This was usually sponsored
00:20:55.820 by the local park there.
00:20:57.940 Various games are held,
00:20:59.260 such as foot races, tug-of-war,
00:21:01.420 watermelon-eating contests,
00:21:03.140 and horse racing.
00:21:04.680 Later years,
00:21:05.300 later years,
00:21:06.020 the Bell Plains Fire Department
00:21:07.460 was in charge of the evening fireworks,
00:21:09.380 but the job has been taken over
00:21:10.540 by Alf Albrecht,
00:21:11.700 who performed that
00:21:13.000 for many, many years.
00:21:15.340 You know, in the old days,
00:21:16.520 they used to have a horse race
00:21:17.700 right there in the,
00:21:19.680 right on the street,
00:21:20.760 starting just east of the town.
00:21:22.320 The finish line was that first house
00:21:23.840 on Main Street.
00:21:25.560 But now,
00:21:26.860 everybody gets together
00:21:28.400 there in the local park
00:21:29.720 for the 4th of July celebration.
00:21:31.860 This little town in Minnesota,
00:21:34.340 which is the first town
00:21:36.560 in the United States
00:21:37.660 to actually have on public property
00:21:40.900 a memorial to Satan.
00:21:44.800 And, oh,
00:21:45.840 the kids are going to enjoy that
00:21:47.140 next 4th of July.
00:21:48.240 It's just a little satanic monument.
00:21:51.680 You know,
00:21:52.100 some people might be
00:21:53.740 a little taken aback by that,
00:21:55.560 but you shouldn't be
00:21:57.100 because, of course,
00:21:58.440 the equal treatment
00:22:00.460 of all religions clause
00:22:01.840 in the Constitution.
00:22:02.240 There's no clause like that.
00:22:04.540 It's in the good and plumpy
00:22:06.780 separation of church
00:22:08.800 and state amendment.
00:22:10.480 No, that's not in there either.
00:22:11.660 That was just a letter
00:22:12.560 that was written.
00:22:14.200 But that's not in there.
00:22:15.300 It was a collection of letters
00:22:16.300 written in the Constitution
00:22:17.280 is what it was.
00:22:17.780 No, no.
00:22:18.400 Again, I think you guys
00:22:20.460 are wrong this time.
00:22:21.680 Well, that's the perception.
00:22:23.500 Glennon, what do they say
00:22:24.520 about perception?
00:22:25.260 Perception is reality.
00:22:26.960 It is reality.
00:22:28.560 You're right.
00:22:29.060 So you got that going for you.
00:22:31.300 Honest question.
00:22:32.140 What do you think
00:22:32.900 the percentage of people
00:22:34.540 who say they're Satanists are
00:22:36.200 that are actually
00:22:37.460 That's got to be minute.
00:22:38.960 that are actually atheists
00:22:40.820 who just want to make a point?
00:22:42.860 Okay, that's higher.
00:22:44.940 Are there really Satanists?
00:22:46.900 I'm sure there's seven.
00:22:48.520 There's some.
00:22:49.400 But like,
00:22:50.040 I think you're right.
00:22:51.080 I think they're more likely atheists.
00:22:53.100 This memorial is not
00:22:54.160 actually being put up
00:22:55.500 by actual Satanists.
00:22:57.860 Right?
00:22:58.400 The idea is
00:22:59.200 they probably got
00:22:59.940 a Satanist
00:23:01.380 to get on board
00:23:03.080 for them to make their point
00:23:04.740 against Christianity.
00:23:06.200 Like, it's not
00:23:06.680 Am I wrong on that?
00:23:08.520 I mean, I hate to
00:23:08.960 For all the Satanists
00:23:10.520 in the audience,
00:23:11.540 I hate to be offensive.
00:23:13.000 Of course.
00:23:13.960 You don't want to demean them
00:23:15.180 in any way.
00:23:15.880 In any way.
00:23:16.820 However,
00:23:17.540 it does seem like
00:23:18.840 this is just
00:23:20.120 an excuse
00:23:21.140 to push
00:23:22.900 atheism
00:23:23.620 on everybody else.
00:23:25.000 Well, let's look into it.
00:23:26.660 This is according to
00:23:27.440 WCCO.
00:23:28.960 A small Minnesota town
00:23:30.160 getting a lot of attention
00:23:30.980 for a Satanic monument
00:23:32.340 coming to their
00:23:33.340 Veterans Park.
00:23:34.180 Yeah, that's the special
00:23:36.320 cherry on top.
00:23:37.320 It's a Veterans Park.
00:23:38.600 For fallen soldiers.
00:23:40.360 That's what the monument
00:23:41.140 is for.
00:23:41.680 The monument is going up
00:23:42.660 for the Satanic Temple,
00:23:44.460 which features an upturned
00:23:45.760 helmet atop a black cube.
00:23:48.140 Soon will be at the site
00:23:49.040 of the Veterans Memorial Park
00:23:50.360 in Belle Plaine.
00:23:51.800 It's being built
00:23:52.340 by a group of Satanists
00:23:53.600 out of Massachusetts
00:23:55.300 and be the first
00:23:56.800 Satanic monument
00:23:57.760 on public property
00:23:58.900 in United States history.
00:24:00.480 It's going to be great.
00:24:01.460 So the people in Massachusetts
00:24:02.940 were like,
00:24:03.400 I just got to have
00:24:04.500 a memorial in Minnesota.
00:24:05.860 I've got to have it.
00:24:06.980 In Belle Plaine, Minnesota.
00:24:07.720 We're going for Belle Plaine.
00:24:09.320 This has been the goal
00:24:10.460 of this church
00:24:11.460 the entire time.
00:24:12.720 We need to get a monument
00:24:14.020 in Belle Plaine
00:24:14.700 in a Veterans Park.
00:24:15.400 Well, let's see.
00:24:15.960 The city is allowing
00:24:16.820 the monument to be built
00:24:17.840 after a religious freedom group
00:24:19.480 threatened to sue
00:24:20.340 over another statue,
00:24:21.820 which features a soldier
00:24:23.180 praying over a grave
00:24:24.840 marked with a cross.
00:24:26.580 City officials say
00:24:27.280 the memorial,
00:24:28.060 which is not inside
00:24:29.160 the park yet,
00:24:30.000 is finished,
00:24:30.760 but they're still working
00:24:32.020 on a date
00:24:32.760 where it'll go in.
00:24:34.240 It has to be put
00:24:35.040 in a small area
00:24:35.900 called the Free Speech Zone.
00:24:38.560 It's an area designated
00:24:39.600 to 10 or fewer memorials
00:24:41.960 as long as they honor veterans.
00:24:44.380 They say they were putting it up
00:24:45.800 and I didn't like it,
00:24:47.100 said one resident.
00:24:48.540 City Council Member
00:24:49.420 Kerry Coop said
00:24:51.100 he voted against
00:24:52.060 the designated
00:24:52.780 Free Speech Area.
00:24:54.800 I don't think there are
00:24:55.720 too many Satanists
00:24:56.540 around here,
00:24:57.280 but it is free speech,
00:24:58.960 said Coop.
00:24:59.520 He says they anticipated
00:25:01.780 other groups coming in.
00:25:03.000 We were warned
00:25:04.160 against creating
00:25:05.000 this free speech zone
00:25:06.360 and it'll be probably
00:25:08.680 just as well
00:25:09.560 that we didn't have one,
00:25:10.820 that people could use
00:25:11.620 private property
00:25:12.460 to say whatever they wanted.
00:25:14.540 Carnitz,
00:25:15.100 whose husband is a veteran
00:25:16.420 of the Vietnam War,
00:25:17.820 says she finds
00:25:18.700 the new Satanic monument
00:25:21.640 offensive.
00:25:23.200 Of course she does.
00:25:24.680 Bigot.
00:25:24.880 It was approved
00:25:26.500 a while back already
00:25:27.700 and it hasn't come here.
00:25:29.060 I'm hoping that,
00:25:30.080 and praying,
00:25:31.060 that it doesn't come
00:25:32.260 into the park.
00:25:33.980 There is a protest
00:25:34.960 planned at the park
00:25:36.080 on Saturday
00:25:36.780 during the city's
00:25:37.660 popular
00:25:38.240 Barbecue Days Festival.
00:25:39.860 I know we missed it
00:25:40.460 this weekend.
00:25:43.060 Despite the name,
00:25:43.840 the Satanic Temple
00:25:44.660 does not promote
00:25:46.000 a belief in
00:25:46.940 personal Satan
00:25:47.980 and that a religion
00:25:49.920 can and should be
00:25:51.180 divorced from superstition.
00:25:52.800 See, that's exactly
00:25:53.780 what Stu said.
00:25:54.560 It's a statement.
00:25:56.120 It's a stinking statement
00:25:57.380 against Christians.
00:26:00.180 They don't have to do this.
00:26:02.300 They don't have to
00:26:02.820 cave into that nonsense.
00:26:04.080 There's nothing
00:26:04.460 in the Constitution
00:26:05.260 that says you have to give
00:26:06.440 equal space
00:26:07.780 to Satanists.
00:26:09.240 You don't have to.
00:26:11.120 I wish we could
00:26:12.500 get over this.
00:26:13.280 That's the sad.
00:26:13.700 It's like,
00:26:13.900 all of these foundations
00:26:14.920 keep crumbling.
00:26:15.740 It's like,
00:26:15.980 if we can't trust
00:26:17.220 the Satanists
00:26:18.000 to tell us the truth
00:26:18.920 about their intentions,
00:26:20.360 who can we trust?
00:26:21.100 You know,
00:26:24.320 it casts some doubt
00:26:26.480 on Wiccans
00:26:27.640 at that point,
00:26:28.520 doesn't it?
00:26:29.380 No.
00:26:30.000 No, don't say that.
00:26:31.420 Do not drag them
00:26:32.500 into this, Matt.
00:26:36.040 People who are outwardly
00:26:37.680 praising pure evil,
00:26:39.300 they may tell a fib.
00:26:40.980 I mean,
00:26:41.220 I'm going to be
00:26:41.520 going on a limb
00:26:42.120 and say it's possible.
00:26:46.440 What the hell has happened to us?
00:26:47.300 How can a nation
00:26:47.960 continue to be blessed?
00:26:48.980 Well, these cities cave, right?
00:26:49.960 It can't.
00:26:50.180 They threaten lawsuits
00:26:51.700 in the city's cave
00:26:52.420 because they can't spend the money.
00:26:53.840 Yeah, and they should not cave.
00:26:55.180 They should not cave.
00:26:56.300 They don't have the money.
00:26:56.840 I mean,
00:26:57.680 I just hear the words
00:27:00.260 of Paulina,
00:27:01.780 that woman I met in Poland
00:27:02.940 who was, you know,
00:27:03.780 the righteous among the nations.
00:27:06.660 The righteous suddenly,
00:27:07.600 it didn't suddenly
00:27:08.200 just become righteous.
00:27:09.460 They just refused
00:27:10.160 to go over the cliff
00:27:10.900 with everyone else.
00:27:11.880 We all know this is wrong.
00:27:13.640 We all know
00:27:15.000 this is wrong.
00:27:16.360 We all know
00:27:17.960 everything that I have told you
00:27:19.800 today
00:27:20.320 is just ridiculous.
00:27:22.400 Too many of us
00:27:23.000 have bought into the hole.
00:27:24.340 Well, yeah,
00:27:25.000 if you do it for one,
00:27:26.340 you have to do it
00:27:27.000 for everybody.
00:27:28.400 But it's not only that.
00:27:29.320 And we don't.
00:27:29.880 It's not only that.
00:27:30.680 We've come to a place
00:27:32.280 to where we're like,
00:27:33.060 well, you can't fight it anyway.
00:27:35.100 So just don't worry about it.
00:27:37.120 What happened to the America
00:27:38.520 that I knew?
00:27:39.860 What happened to the America
00:27:40.940 that stands up
00:27:41.960 for what is right?
00:27:42.820 It will even recognize
00:27:44.160 what's right.
00:27:46.600 I mean,
00:27:47.040 we are just amazing
00:27:50.560 how they have worn us out
00:27:53.080 in 10 years.
00:27:54.840 They have taken us
00:27:56.160 and worn us out.
00:27:57.880 It's what we talked about.
00:27:58.880 They overwhelmed the system.
00:28:01.160 Yeah.
00:28:02.080 And they did.
00:28:03.020 Mission accomplished.
00:28:03.940 And now you just don't.
00:28:05.280 Now you just can't
00:28:06.120 keep up with it all.
00:28:07.520 You just don't.
00:28:08.320 You're just like,
00:28:08.900 you know what?
00:28:09.700 I'm just going to.
00:28:11.040 I don't care.
00:28:11.980 I don't care.
00:28:12.420 I put up your pentagram.
00:28:13.280 I don't care.
00:28:14.040 Whatever.
00:28:14.500 A dog with horns
00:28:15.400 or whatever.
00:28:15.940 That's got to help
00:28:16.520 on the top of my head.
00:28:17.700 I didn't mean to be,
00:28:18.580 you know,
00:28:18.960 demeaning to your dog
00:28:20.300 with horns.
00:28:21.900 I'm sure it's great.
00:28:22.980 Is it a barbecue weekend?
00:28:24.140 Let's go have some chicken.
00:28:27.420 Really?
00:28:28.040 Yeah.
00:28:28.380 That's what it is.
00:28:29.200 Really?
00:28:29.920 And how long have you
00:28:30.740 been saying that too?
00:28:31.560 I mean,
00:28:31.700 we need to stop worrying
00:28:32.760 about Washington.
00:28:33.940 We need to stop worrying
00:28:35.040 about these things.
00:28:36.060 Get your own circle.
00:28:37.880 You know,
00:28:38.420 straighten out.
00:28:39.100 I mean,
00:28:39.240 here's a town
00:28:39.840 of 6,000 people
00:28:42.120 in Minnesota.
00:28:44.240 6,000 people.
00:28:46.040 Target one for the Satanists.
00:28:47.060 We've always said it.
00:28:48.240 Target one.
00:28:49.040 They're like,
00:28:49.360 oh,
00:28:49.480 we got to get in there.
00:28:52.160 So weird.
00:28:53.080 So,
00:28:53.580 I mean,
00:28:54.120 obviously,
00:28:54.780 these are just statements
00:28:55.900 being made
00:28:56.540 to mock
00:28:57.280 the foundational aspects
00:28:59.200 of this society
00:29:00.100 and this civilization.
00:29:00.860 Oh,
00:29:01.040 the last line tells you
00:29:02.000 everything you need
00:29:03.180 to know about that.
00:29:04.100 Religion can
00:29:04.740 and should be divorced
00:29:05.620 from superstition.
00:29:07.240 Well,
00:29:07.420 that's,
00:29:07.680 I mean,
00:29:08.000 they're just,
00:29:08.380 that's just a shot
00:29:09.540 at Christians.
00:29:11.180 Superstition,
00:29:11.720 but you know,
00:29:12.100 the hardcore fact
00:29:13.260 of Satan.
00:29:13.980 Right.
00:29:15.460 That's any less
00:29:16.360 superstitious,
00:29:17.280 quote unquote,
00:29:17.920 than they think God is.
00:29:19.720 That's why.
00:29:20.960 They're making this cube
00:29:22.240 because they don't
00:29:22.880 believe in Satan
00:29:23.640 and they don't
00:29:24.380 believe in God
00:29:26.120 and so,
00:29:26.920 why not?
00:29:27.580 I mean,
00:29:28.280 even if you believe
00:29:29.560 that every religion
00:29:30.680 has to be treated equally,
00:29:32.460 at the very least,
00:29:33.740 you should also,
00:29:35.820 I don't know,
00:29:36.500 require the religion
00:29:37.640 to be represented
00:29:38.340 by people
00:29:38.840 who actually believe it.
00:29:40.580 I mean,
00:29:40.880 this is like,
00:29:41.640 there's no standing
00:29:42.520 for someone
00:29:43.120 who's an atheist
00:29:43.820 just trying to make a point.
00:29:45.820 There's no standing
00:29:46.680 for them to put up
00:29:47.320 a, you know,
00:29:48.100 a Satanist statue.
00:29:49.920 That was one of
00:29:50.380 Michael Newdow's problems
00:29:52.000 when he was trying to,
00:29:53.040 he was the atheist
00:29:53.860 that is so famous
00:29:55.060 for trying to eliminate God
00:29:56.600 from every,
00:29:57.440 like money,
00:29:58.680 every section of our culture.
00:30:00.000 You had no standing.
00:30:00.460 And,
00:30:00.800 and he had no standing.
00:30:01.940 He sued on behalf
00:30:02.960 or something,
00:30:03.340 I guess,
00:30:03.820 of his daughter
00:30:04.680 who he didn't even
00:30:07.060 have custody of.
00:30:08.100 She was with the mom,
00:30:09.700 but he sued on her behalf
00:30:11.000 and they're like,
00:30:11.460 well,
00:30:11.620 you've got no standing
00:30:12.400 to do that.
00:30:13.100 She's not the one complaining.
00:30:15.600 And so,
00:30:16.560 I think that's one of the things
00:30:18.080 that eventually
00:30:18.600 brought down his case
00:30:19.640 and got the
00:30:21.060 One Nation Under God
00:30:23.020 part of the pledge
00:30:24.560 put back into it
00:30:25.540 in the Western United States.
00:30:27.720 So,
00:30:28.940 let me give you,
00:30:29.540 let me give you
00:30:30.020 one good story here
00:30:31.460 of somebody actually standing.
00:30:33.340 A week and a half
00:30:34.740 before they were scheduled
00:30:35.620 to perform in Tel Aviv's
00:30:37.280 Yarkin Park,
00:30:39.640 Radiohead
00:30:40.580 continued to battle
00:30:42.120 the anti-Israel boycott,
00:30:44.160 divestment,
00:30:44.800 sanctions,
00:30:45.300 BDS movement.
00:30:46.680 During the band's
00:30:47.400 Friday night concert
00:30:48.520 at a festival
00:30:49.740 in Glasgow,
00:30:51.040 Scotland,
00:30:51.660 several activists
00:30:52.440 raised Palestinian flags
00:30:54.240 as well as a Radiohead
00:30:56.180 hashtag
00:30:56.680 cancel Tel Aviv sign
00:30:58.320 and held demonstrations
00:30:59.740 outside the venue
00:31:01.280 causing the lead singer
00:31:02.500 to respond
00:31:03.380 according to
00:31:04.700 Consequence of Sound.
00:31:06.480 Prior to the band's
00:31:07.380 performance,
00:31:09.020 Yark reportedly
00:31:09.760 exclaimed
00:31:10.440 some
00:31:11.540 effing people
00:31:13.840 while staring out
00:31:15.180 in the crowd.
00:31:16.260 Radiohead
00:31:16.840 have faced
00:31:17.840 a number of protests
00:31:18.740 over their decision
00:31:19.480 to play Tel Aviv
00:31:20.640 including
00:31:21.540 an event
00:31:22.380 at Glastonbury,
00:31:23.520 England
00:31:23.760 last month.
00:31:24.840 Speaking recently
00:31:26.140 to Rolling Stone,
00:31:27.180 Yark described
00:31:27.780 the situation
00:31:28.440 as offensive
00:31:29.280 and an extraordinary
00:31:30.700 waste of energy.
00:31:31.940 Nice.
00:31:32.260 Saying,
00:31:32.700 I don't agree
00:31:33.460 with a cultural ban
00:31:34.640 at all
00:31:35.260 along with
00:31:36.160 J.K. Rowling,
00:31:37.340 Noam Chomsky
00:31:38.300 and a long list
00:31:39.380 of others.
00:31:40.900 How about that?
00:31:41.440 He's not caving in
00:31:42.200 to these Palestinian protests.
00:31:43.420 In fact,
00:31:43.740 he flipped them off.
00:31:45.080 Noam Chomsky
00:31:46.120 isn't with it either?
00:31:48.160 I just...
00:31:50.120 That's amazing.
00:31:51.120 Again,
00:31:51.680 I tried to give you
00:31:52.320 a happy story
00:31:53.040 and it ends with
00:31:54.080 I don't understand
00:31:54.860 the world
00:31:55.220 I'm living in.
00:31:57.960 Here's our sponsor

00:32:16.420 Now,
00:32:16.560 this is a business
00:32:17.940 that was started
00:32:18.580 by a family
00:32:19.560 of designers
00:32:20.860 and decorators,
00:32:22.380 husband and wife team.
00:32:24.080 that would go out
00:32:24.940 to people's houses
00:32:25.620 back in the 80s
00:32:27.800 and 90s.
00:32:29.020 And I think
00:32:31.560 it was the husband
00:32:32.520 that started
00:32:33.700 to read about
00:32:35.300 this information
00:32:36.540 superhighway
00:32:37.460 and said,
00:32:37.880 we've got to find
00:32:38.660 a way to sell
00:32:39.320 this stuff
00:32:39.820 online.
00:32:43.620 And the family
00:32:45.120 was like,
00:32:45.860 Dad,
00:32:46.200 that's crazy.
00:32:46.940 Nobody goes online.
00:32:47.840 He said,
00:32:48.260 if we are there
00:32:49.440 first,
00:32:50.740 we're going to be
00:32:51.880 able to make
00:32:52.260 an impact.
00:32:53.540 And again,
00:32:54.180 the family said,
00:32:55.080 but you can't,
00:32:56.420 how are you going
00:32:56.840 to give advice?
00:32:57.540 He said,
00:32:57.780 we're going to find
00:32:58.380 a way.
00:32:59.720 So,
00:33:00.220 after all of these
00:33:01.100 years,
00:33:01.620 they have really
00:33:02.380 perfected it.

00:33:06.560 They are the
00:33:06.920 largest,

00:33:07.900 in the world

00:34:05.660 may have
00:34:07.640 more subscribers
00:34:08.820 to Amazon
00:34:09.800 Prime than
00:34:10.780 cable or
00:34:11.640 satellite TV.
00:34:12.740 I used to
00:34:15.280 doubt those
00:34:15.740 stories, but
00:34:16.520 I don't,
00:34:19.980 I so rarely
00:34:21.460 watch television
00:34:22.700 now.
00:34:23.960 I don't watch
00:34:24.820 it on cable
00:34:25.640 or satellite.
00:34:26.580 Rarely.
00:34:27.140 Amazon Prime,
00:34:27.900 like video
00:34:28.560 active users
00:34:29.440 or Amazon
00:34:30.080 Prime,
00:34:30.700 the entire
00:34:31.260 service?
00:34:31.460 Video active
00:34:32.180 users.
00:34:33.960 Because I mean
00:34:34.360 Netflix would be
00:34:35.040 even further
00:34:35.580 along, I would
00:34:36.120 think.
00:34:36.380 I would imagine.
00:34:37.480 But I mean
00:34:37.760 Amazon Prime
00:34:38.480 is essentially,
00:34:39.300 I think it's
00:34:39.680 something like a
00:34:40.200 third of the
00:34:40.680 nation is already
00:34:41.580 a member of
00:34:42.680 Amazon Prime.
00:34:44.240 Sixty-six
00:34:44.980 million households
00:34:45.820 have Amazon
00:34:46.560 Prime.
00:34:47.260 Sixty-six
00:34:48.420 million.
00:34:49.460 That is,
00:34:50.240 that compares
00:34:51.240 to 90 million
00:34:52.500 households that
00:34:53.320 have cable or
00:34:54.620 satellite TV.
00:34:56.080 However,
00:34:57.200 they don't know
00:34:58.260 66 million.
00:35:01.380 They're not
00:35:02.200 sure if that's
00:35:03.360 a real number
00:35:03.920 because they
00:35:04.440 don't release
00:35:05.340 the studies.
00:35:06.300 They've just
00:35:06.680 had to release
00:35:07.280 their earnings
00:35:07.920 statement.
00:35:09.020 So they're
00:35:09.600 saying that it
00:35:10.580 could be as
00:35:11.540 low as 60
00:35:12.500 million could
00:35:13.580 be as high
00:35:14.380 as 85
00:35:15.260 million.
00:35:16.480 Wow.
00:35:18.400 Really, they
00:35:19.280 are taking over
00:35:19.980 the world and
00:35:20.720 it's because it's
00:35:22.860 so good.
00:35:23.620 We're going to
00:35:24.200 replace Comcast
00:35:25.660 and Direct
00:35:26.600 and Dish and
00:35:27.860 all of that
00:35:28.420 stuff.
00:35:29.320 We're going to
00:35:29.820 replace that
00:35:30.720 with Apple
00:35:32.200 and Amazon
00:35:33.440 and Google.
00:35:34.560 I mean, look at
00:35:34.900 the Emmy
00:35:35.960 nominations that
00:35:36.560 came out.
00:35:37.200 Netflix got
00:35:37.960 91 and I
00:35:39.060 swear I read
00:35:39.860 that Bill Nye
00:35:41.020 got one for
00:35:41.620 his sex
00:35:42.020 episode.
00:35:42.500 Is that true?
00:35:43.340 He did.
00:35:43.740 Yeah, he got a
00:35:44.120 nomination.
00:35:44.300 How on earth
00:35:45.220 it's the worst
00:35:46.320 piece of
00:35:47.320 television I've
00:35:48.260 ever seen.
00:35:48.680 Because, did you
00:35:49.340 listen to the
00:35:49.840 first part of
00:35:50.520 the hour?
00:35:51.140 Because he's
00:35:51.760 embracing that.
00:35:52.240 Because he's
00:35:52.740 embracing political
00:35:53.780 correctness and
00:35:55.080 he's teaching
00:35:56.460 everybody what
00:35:57.680 the new science
00:35:58.400 is.
00:35:59.340 That's incredible
00:36:00.160 though.
00:36:00.420 I mean, that
00:36:00.660 one, it's a
00:36:01.800 jokey example.
00:36:02.800 It was so bad.
00:36:03.660 I mean, look,
00:36:04.120 Doctor Who will
00:36:04.620 probably be really
00:36:05.480 entertaining despite
00:36:06.380 the changes that
00:36:07.100 they're making here
00:36:07.700 because it's
00:36:08.220 well done
00:36:08.600 television, right?
00:36:09.700 This is the worst
00:36:11.200 piece of television
00:36:12.000 anybody's ever
00:36:12.560 seen.
00:36:12.900 I mean, let's be
00:36:13.240 honest about it.
00:36:14.020 And you throw
00:36:14.360 on, like, the
00:36:15.180 only thing I've
00:36:15.540 ever seen worse
00:36:16.080 was the video
00:36:16.920 they said caused
00:36:17.680 Benghazi.
00:36:18.440 That's the only
00:36:19.020 acting I've ever
00:36:19.800 seen that was
00:36:20.300 worse than that
00:36:21.100 Bill Nye thing.
00:36:21.860 That's actually
00:36:22.260 true.
00:36:23.340 I can't, I mean,
00:36:24.100 seriously, it was
00:36:25.140 that bad.
00:36:26.200 It's just beyond
00:36:27.860 the fact that it's
00:36:28.660 making a ridiculous
00:36:29.520 point in a stupid
00:36:30.660 way.
00:36:30.980 One in which Bill
00:36:31.660 Nye himself has
00:36:32.500 done shows
00:36:33.080 disagreeing with.
00:36:35.060 Do you want an
00:36:35.860 Emmy that everybody
00:36:36.800 knows you won
00:36:38.140 that Emmy?
00:36:38.820 It's the Barack
00:36:39.880 Obama Nobel Peace
00:36:40.880 Prize.
00:36:41.300 It is.
00:36:41.740 No merit, no
00:36:44.160 reason for him to
00:36:45.280 get that, and they
00:36:46.440 just give it to him
00:36:47.100 because it feels
00:36:47.720 good.
00:36:48.960 The nomination is
00:36:49.780 enough.
00:36:50.300 That is objectively
00:36:51.940 terrible television.
00:36:53.800 Objectively.
00:36:54.840 I mean, whether you
00:36:55.580 like the point or
00:36:56.420 not is completely
00:36:57.300 separate from the
00:36:57.940 fact that Bill
00:36:58.620 Nye is just awful
00:36:59.840 at this, and yet
00:37:01.440 he still gets the
00:37:02.180 nomination.
00:37:02.780 It's the world we
00:37:03.160 live in.
00:37:03.520 What?
00:37:04.080 Glenn Beck
00:37:04.480 program?
00:37:04.860 Pat and Stu?

00:37:06.100 Stu?

00:38:36.260 So, over the
00:38:37.300 weekend, Elon Musk
00:38:39.280 was with the
00:38:40.140 governors, and he
00:38:42.760 said that AI is a
00:38:44.340 fundamental risk to
00:38:45.540 human civilization.
00:38:47.040 You have to hear his
00:38:48.220 speech.
00:38:48.780 He's trying to get
00:38:50.380 somebody to listen to
00:38:51.600 him.
00:38:52.520 I hope that he is
00:38:53.940 wrong, but we should
00:38:54.780 listen to him.
00:38:56.120 And we also want to
00:38:57.600 tell you about a story
00:38:58.360 that I think is
00:38:59.100 absolutely unbelievable.
00:39:01.760 A couple moved from
00:39:02.760 Thailand to Texas, and
00:39:05.100 they started a mom and
00:39:07.080 pop wedding dress
00:39:07.980 store.
00:39:08.320 They started it in
00:39:09.100 1983.
00:39:09.940 30 years in business
00:39:12.520 located in Garland,
00:39:14.480 Texas.
00:39:14.760 It was just shut down
00:39:16.180 by the IRS, which
00:39:18.680 they claim they
00:39:21.260 owed unpaid taxes
00:39:22.720 totaling $31,400.
00:39:29.900 Now, the family says we
00:39:33.560 don't owe the IRS any
00:39:34.980 money.
00:39:36.700 Plus, we haven't been
00:39:37.780 convicted of a crime.
00:39:39.740 But that didn't stop the
00:39:41.220 IRS.
00:39:42.440 Wait until you see what
00:39:43.860 the IRS has done to
00:39:46.220 this immigrant family.
00:39:48.140 We begin there right
00:39:49.660 now.
00:39:50.980 I will make a stand.
00:39:53.220 I will raise my voice.
00:39:55.460 I will hold your hand.
00:39:57.880 Because we are one.
00:39:59.720 I will beat my drum.
00:40:01.940 I have made my choice.
00:40:04.180 We will overcome.
00:40:06.480 Because we are one.
00:40:08.460 The fusion of
00:40:09.660 entertainment and
00:40:10.960 enlightenment.
00:40:12.380 This is the Glenn Beck
00:40:14.900 Program.
00:40:15.940 This is about a
00:40:20.300 couple.
00:40:21.240 They are both
00:40:22.400 near 70.
00:40:23.180 One is 72.
00:40:23.920 The other one is 68.
00:40:25.200 They moved to Texas
00:40:26.380 from Thailand.
00:40:27.960 And they wanted to
00:40:30.860 live the American
00:40:31.520 dream.
00:40:32.140 And they have been.
00:40:33.440 Except they have
00:40:35.800 been in business now
00:40:36.560 for 30 years in
00:40:37.580 Garland, Texas.
00:40:38.520 The IRS says they
00:40:40.020 owe them about $30,000.
00:40:41.860 They say we don't owe
00:40:43.380 the IRS any money.
00:40:44.700 We've never been
00:40:45.500 convicted of a crime.
00:40:47.200 20 armed IRS agents
00:40:49.240 came in, shut down
00:40:51.180 the business in March.
00:40:53.120 And they seized
00:40:54.300 1,600 designer
00:40:56.060 wedding gowns.
00:41:00.320 They told the couple
00:41:01.820 they had to produce
00:41:03.020 $10,000 immediately
00:41:05.240 or the IRS would
00:41:06.760 sell the dresses
00:41:07.680 when the couple said
00:41:09.560 we're not paying you.
00:41:11.620 We haven't been
00:41:12.480 charged with anything
00:41:13.680 and we don't owe
00:41:14.800 you any money.
00:41:16.440 The IRS agents
00:41:17.540 sold all the gowns
00:41:19.220 in two hours.
00:41:22.680 Now, the dresses
00:41:24.880 were worth $615,000.
00:41:29.820 They sold them
00:41:31.380 for $3.75 per gown.
00:41:36.560 The IRS made $6,000
00:41:41.100 on $615,000.
00:41:48.320 How do you feel
00:41:49.020 about that, boys?
00:41:50.940 Efficient.
00:41:51.980 Right?
00:41:52.980 Government's doing
00:41:53.540 a great job, aren't they?
00:41:54.480 They sure are.
00:41:55.360 They always do.
00:41:56.420 They always do.
00:41:57.340 I don't know.
00:41:57.800 This is such a strange
00:41:59.160 phenomenon.
00:42:00.060 How could it happen
00:42:01.200 in the United States
00:42:02.320 of America?
00:42:03.200 More so,
00:42:04.160 how could it happen
00:42:04.860 in Texas?
00:42:06.240 Yeah.
00:42:07.900 It's outrageous.
00:42:09.440 Not charged with a crime
00:42:10.660 and not convicted
00:42:12.760 of a crime
00:42:13.800 and yet
00:42:14.660 they confiscate
00:42:16.440 their entire inventory
00:42:17.500 and sell it all.
00:42:19.220 Just out of spite,
00:42:20.560 it seems like.
00:42:22.080 The property
00:42:22.700 has been wiped out.
00:42:24.280 Everything that they had,
00:42:25.940 they are now destitute.
00:42:27.280 Everything they had built
00:42:29.820 since immigrating
00:42:30.520 to the United States
00:42:31.400 before beginning
00:42:32.020 their business
00:42:32.460 in 1983
00:42:33.200 has been wiped out.
00:42:35.560 Dallas Morning News
00:42:36.320 reported the IRS
00:42:37.240 said that they attempted
00:42:38.540 to evade federal requirements
00:42:40.200 by making multiple
00:42:41.060 cash deposits
00:42:42.100 under the $10,000
00:42:44.080 reporting limit.
00:42:45.440 But the couple
00:42:45.920 was never formally charged
00:42:47.240 with breaking the law.
00:42:48.180 So once again,
00:42:49.320 it's the Patriot Act.
00:42:52.220 It's such a weird thing.
00:42:54.040 They did this to
00:42:54.720 Dennis Hastert, right?
00:42:56.360 Which again,
00:42:57.260 it seems like he was
00:42:58.060 very much involved
00:42:58.940 in really shady stuff.
00:43:01.160 But separate from this,
00:43:02.340 he was trying to,
00:43:05.700 he was taking out
00:43:06.700 less than $10,000
00:43:08.200 because there's
00:43:10.720 a reporting requirement
00:43:11.820 for over $10,000.
00:43:13.460 But if you take out
00:43:14.820 just under $10,000
00:43:16.320 too many times,
00:43:17.660 that also becomes a crime.
00:43:18.580 We found that out
00:43:19.440 during that Dennis Hastert case
00:43:20.820 that it's not so much
00:43:22.140 the limit,
00:43:22.840 it's the different.
00:43:24.400 Yeah,
00:43:24.720 because if you do
00:43:25.080 9,900 a bunch
00:43:27.060 of times in a row,
00:43:27.640 they assume you're
00:43:28.320 just trying to hide it.
00:43:29.240 Right.
00:43:29.720 Which may very well
00:43:30.460 be true.
00:43:31.100 However,
00:43:31.460 if you have a standard,
00:43:34.040 then what you're saying
00:43:35.060 is the,
00:43:35.460 it's very much
00:43:36.380 Jennifer Aniston
00:43:37.400 in office space
00:43:39.600 in which she
00:43:40.940 would like to,
00:43:41.620 that's just what I was thinking.
00:43:42.380 I think it's what
00:43:42.820 everyone's thinking.
00:43:43.840 You want 15 pieces of flair.
00:43:45.780 If the rule is
00:43:46.820 15 pieces of flair
00:43:48.040 and she's wearing
00:43:49.140 15 pieces of flair,
00:43:51.400 then she should be fine.
00:43:52.520 However,
00:43:53.560 the manager keeps saying,
00:43:54.700 don't you want
00:43:55.180 to wear more flair?
00:43:56.580 Is the rule
00:43:57.280 higher than 15 pieces
00:43:58.340 of flair?
00:43:59.000 Because if it is,
00:43:59.620 I'll wear more than 15.
00:44:00.540 But if it's 15,
00:44:01.280 I'm wearing 15.
00:44:02.520 And that's what the standard,
00:44:03.440 we're all in that situation.
00:44:04.340 From 2000,
00:44:05.620 from 2005
00:44:06.580 to 2012,
00:44:08.180 the IRS
00:44:08.660 took from people
00:44:10.420 more than
00:44:11.400 43 million dollars
00:44:13.080 in 600 cases
00:44:14.980 whose assets
00:44:16.460 had been taken
00:44:17.320 and not
00:44:18.740 suspected
00:44:19.560 of any criminal
00:44:21.240 activity
00:44:22.140 except for
00:44:23.480 having made
00:44:24.180 deposits
00:44:24.900 slightly below
00:44:26.480 the $10,000
00:44:27.880 threshold.
00:44:29.120 That's so weird.
00:44:30.200 The Treasury
00:44:30.760 Inspector General
00:44:31.600 for Tax Administration
00:44:32.880 revealed a report
00:44:34.280 from 2012
00:44:35.560 to 2014
00:44:36.600 that the IRS
00:44:38.380 has seized
00:44:38.800 more than
00:44:39.280 17 million dollars
00:44:40.660 from people
00:44:41.120 because they engaged
00:44:42.240 in suspicious
00:44:43.000 banking depositing
00:44:44.440 patterns.
00:44:45.100 but there's
00:44:48.000 no criminal
00:44:49.540 activity,
00:44:50.960 none of them
00:44:52.120 had been
00:44:55.520 charged with
00:44:55.980 a crime.
00:44:56.500 Current law
00:44:57.140 does not require
00:44:58.140 the funds
00:44:58.760 to have an
00:44:59.280 illegal source.
00:45:01.360 They can just
00:45:01.800 come and take
00:45:02.240 your money.
00:45:03.080 But that's
00:45:03.380 so weird.
00:45:05.960 To me,
00:45:06.500 it's not even
00:45:07.240 right for them
00:45:08.080 to know
00:45:08.860 that there is
00:45:10.320 a bunch
00:45:11.300 of these deposits
00:45:11.960 to even think
00:45:12.980 of an indication
00:45:13.640 to further
00:45:14.100 investigate.
00:45:15.100 Let alone
00:45:15.620 just to convict
00:45:16.400 of the fact
00:45:16.860 that they
00:45:17.120 saw a bunch
00:45:17.620 of people.
00:45:18.120 No, Stu,
00:45:18.380 we have to be
00:45:18.900 safe from
00:45:19.320 the Muslim
00:45:19.860 extremists.
00:45:22.320 We have to be
00:45:23.160 safe from
00:45:23.540 the Muslim
00:45:23.900 extremists.
00:45:24.460 You know that.
00:45:24.940 That has nothing
00:45:25.440 to do with that.
00:45:26.060 Yeah, that's
00:45:26.520 what it does.
00:45:27.220 That's what
00:45:27.540 this is for.
00:45:28.240 This is not
00:45:28.640 for anything
00:45:29.040 else.
00:45:29.340 This is to
00:45:29.780 protect us
00:45:30.340 from the
00:45:30.700 Muslim
00:45:31.260 extremists.
00:45:31.920 And these
00:45:32.240 guys who are
00:45:33.280 in the bridal
00:45:33.740 gown business
00:45:34.380 since 1983
00:45:35.280 are clearly
00:45:36.220 part of some
00:45:36.980 Muslim
00:45:37.320 extremist
00:45:37.820 ring.
00:45:38.940 Otherwise,
00:45:39.560 it wouldn't
00:45:39.940 come up.
00:45:40.640 The Patriot
00:45:41.460 Act allows
00:45:42.080 this,
00:45:42.400 but that
00:45:42.760 was just
00:45:43.160 for making
00:45:44.300 sure that
00:45:44.780 no money
00:45:45.200 was going
00:45:45.740 to Muslim
00:45:46.460 extremists.
00:45:48.380 The 68
00:45:49.380 and 73
00:45:49.960 year old
00:45:50.680 Thai couple,
00:45:53.140 clearly Muslim
00:45:53.980 extremists.
00:45:54.920 Selling wedding
00:45:55.840 dresses,
00:45:56.480 the perfect
00:45:57.080 front.
00:45:57.980 Everybody
00:45:58.280 knows it.
00:45:59.540 Well, how many
00:46:00.020 times have we
00:46:00.880 seen wedding
00:46:02.140 dress owners
00:46:02.900 attack?
00:46:03.080 Well, 600
00:46:03.740 cases where
00:46:05.660 people weren't
00:46:06.200 charged with a
00:46:06.760 crime.
00:46:07.760 So we know
00:46:08.580 we've seen
00:46:09.040 600 cases
00:46:10.120 doing that.
00:46:11.080 And then it's
00:46:11.540 Connecticut,
00:46:12.460 of all places,
00:46:13.760 that has passed
00:46:14.520 a law that
00:46:15.680 is getting rid
00:46:16.420 of this.
00:46:17.360 This idea
00:46:18.020 that you can
00:46:18.660 go in and
00:46:19.120 take people's
00:46:19.980 stuff without
00:46:20.880 charging them
00:46:21.460 for a crime.
00:46:21.820 Civil asset
00:46:22.320 forfeiture.
00:46:23.000 Which I don't
00:46:23.640 think is the
00:46:24.020 same as this.
00:46:24.560 This is the
00:46:24.980 IRS coming in.
00:46:26.360 I mean, it's
00:46:26.820 similar.
00:46:27.420 It's similar,
00:46:28.100 but I'm not
00:46:28.440 sure it's the
00:46:28.960 same.
00:46:30.000 Civil asset
00:46:30.800 forfeiture is
00:46:32.400 they can come
00:46:33.920 into your
00:46:34.340 house and
00:46:35.120 you don't
00:46:35.560 have a
00:46:35.980 receipt for
00:46:36.740 the money
00:46:37.860 that you
00:46:38.240 might have
00:46:38.660 in a safe
00:46:39.220 or you
00:46:40.260 don't have
00:46:40.900 a receipt
00:46:41.900 for the
00:46:42.280 money you
00:46:42.640 have in
00:46:42.920 your purse.
00:46:44.460 And they
00:46:45.340 can just
00:46:45.720 take it
00:46:46.100 because they
00:46:47.000 suspect you
00:46:47.760 of a crime.
00:46:48.540 And so they
00:46:48.980 say, just
00:46:49.540 take it.
00:46:50.840 At its
00:46:51.100 worst,
00:46:51.940 there is a
00:46:53.960 situation where
00:46:54.740 they will
00:46:55.040 come and
00:46:55.540 take your
00:46:55.940 stuff, not
00:46:57.240 only without
00:46:58.380 convicting you
00:46:59.120 of a crime,
00:46:59.940 or charging you
00:47:01.040 with a crime,
00:47:01.440 not even
00:47:02.420 without a
00:47:02.980 real
00:47:03.140 investigation
00:47:03.640 of you
00:47:04.400 potentially
00:47:06.200 committing a
00:47:06.660 crime.
00:47:06.940 They can
00:47:07.140 just take
00:47:07.500 it.
00:47:08.320 And that's
00:47:08.980 not obviously
00:47:09.420 the way it's
00:47:10.500 always used.
00:47:11.240 But I mean,
00:47:11.560 it is completely
00:47:12.460 out of control.
00:47:13.100 And conviction
00:47:13.540 is obviously
00:47:14.300 the standard
00:47:14.740 here.
00:47:15.260 The issue
00:47:15.660 is they can
00:47:16.060 still take
00:47:16.620 stuff from
00:47:17.060 you, but
00:47:17.840 if you go
00:47:19.120 to trial and
00:47:19.680 they don't
00:47:20.080 convict you,
00:47:20.500 then they
00:47:20.840 have to
00:47:21.140 return it.
00:47:21.900 This is a
00:47:22.360 crazy step
00:47:23.400 in the way...
00:47:26.000 It's nuts.
00:47:26.680 It's nuts.
00:47:27.080 This is not
00:47:28.400 who we are
00:47:30.000 as Americans.
00:47:31.060 If we don't
00:47:31.700 get a hold
00:47:32.280 of this,
00:47:34.000 I mean,
00:47:34.500 God only
00:47:35.260 knows what
00:47:36.100 is coming
00:47:36.700 next.
00:47:38.080 I mean,
00:47:38.360 if we ever
00:47:39.200 hit a really
00:47:40.280 bad situation,
00:47:42.120 what are you
00:47:42.580 going to do?
00:47:45.100 I mean,
00:47:45.920 we hit a
00:47:46.540 situation where
00:47:47.720 the government
00:47:50.320 needs to
00:47:50.920 clamp down.
00:47:52.280 They'll control
00:47:53.140 every bit of
00:47:54.300 your life.
00:47:55.040 Every bit of
00:47:55.900 your life.
00:47:57.660 And what are
00:47:58.240 you going to
00:47:58.540 say about it?
00:47:59.740 We're not
00:48:00.040 saying anything
00:48:00.500 about it now.
00:48:01.760 We just
00:48:02.300 had a story
00:48:02.820 a couple
00:48:03.060 months ago
00:48:03.520 about a
00:48:03.920 couple driving
00:48:04.440 through Texas
00:48:05.120 that were
00:48:05.380 going to buy
00:48:06.440 a car.
00:48:07.300 Remember this?
00:48:07.900 They got
00:48:08.480 pulled over
00:48:08.960 and they
00:48:10.560 had $10,000
00:48:11.200 on them to
00:48:12.520 buy the car
00:48:13.040 and the
00:48:14.360 sheriff took
00:48:15.360 it.
00:48:16.380 He just
00:48:16.980 took it
00:48:17.780 because they
00:48:18.940 had $10,000
00:48:19.780 in cash.
00:48:20.720 It could have
00:48:21.440 been a drug
00:48:21.840 deal.
00:48:22.380 And they
00:48:23.060 never got it
00:48:23.460 back.
00:48:23.840 Didn't we
00:48:24.100 find out in
00:48:24.540 that particular
00:48:25.240 town?
00:48:25.680 I mean I
00:48:26.160 can't believe
00:48:26.480 we're saying
00:48:26.800 this about
00:48:27.180 America.
00:48:28.040 In that
00:48:28.440 particular town
00:48:29.280 didn't we
00:48:29.660 find out
00:48:30.080 that that
00:48:30.760 was something
00:48:31.280 that happens
00:48:31.940 quite a bit?
00:48:32.880 Yes.
00:48:33.520 And they
00:48:33.840 threatened to
00:48:34.460 take your
00:48:34.900 child.
00:48:35.940 If you
00:48:36.640 say something
00:48:37.800 about the
00:48:38.240 money they
00:48:38.740 threatened to
00:48:39.160 take your
00:48:39.520 child because
00:48:41.220 you're an
00:48:41.760 unfit parent.
00:48:43.380 That's nuts.
00:48:45.140 What kind of
00:48:45.940 country are we
00:48:46.480 turning into?
00:48:47.420 And this goes
00:48:48.280 back to what
00:48:48.880 we've talked
00:48:49.280 about every
00:48:50.080 single case and
00:48:51.220 every single
00:48:51.660 story that hits
00:48:52.500 the news today
00:48:53.560 is you have to
00:48:54.320 have principles.
00:48:54.900 This is a
00:48:55.460 constitutional
00:48:56.020 principle.
00:48:56.640 You can't
00:48:56.900 just have
00:48:57.160 stuff taken
00:48:57.700 from you by
00:48:58.140 the government.
00:48:58.920 This is pretty
00:48:59.740 clear in the
00:49:01.060 constitution that
00:49:02.420 the government
00:49:03.020 can't just come
00:49:03.500 and just rip
00:49:04.000 stuff away from
00:49:04.720 people.
00:49:05.280 That is not what
00:49:07.020 is supposed to
00:49:07.660 happen in this
00:49:08.220 country.
00:49:08.820 And I don't
00:49:09.580 know if it's
00:49:09.940 because probably
00:49:11.380 95% of the
00:49:13.600 time it is
00:49:14.840 used against
00:49:15.820 people who are
00:49:17.360 dealing drugs and
00:49:18.940 are guilty of
00:49:19.660 doing those
00:49:20.020 things.
00:49:20.280 But it goes
00:49:20.960 to the same
00:49:21.440 point we
00:49:21.760 talked about
00:49:22.180 with the
00:49:23.060 Philippines.
00:49:24.980 It's an
00:49:25.940 extension of
00:49:26.420 that same
00:49:26.760 principle.
00:49:27.320 Well, drug
00:49:28.160 dealers are
00:49:28.620 bad and most
00:49:29.520 of the time
00:49:29.880 they are killing
00:49:30.500 people who are
00:49:31.280 actually drug
00:49:31.960 dealers.
00:49:32.780 So therefore,
00:49:33.260 let's not make a
00:49:34.040 big deal about
00:49:34.620 this.
00:49:35.200 That's how these
00:49:35.600 things swing out
00:49:36.060 of control.
00:49:36.760 21 cases out
00:49:38.440 of the 252
00:49:40.220 cases, 21 cases
00:49:43.520 out of 252,
00:49:45.600 those 21 were
00:49:48.760 actual crimes.
00:49:50.420 Out of 252.
00:49:52.700 That's even
00:49:52.980 worse.
00:49:54.460 So only 21 of
00:49:55.700 them were
00:49:56.120 actually ever
00:49:56.680 charged with
00:49:57.360 anything.
00:49:58.100 The rest of
00:49:59.060 them just lost
00:49:59.960 everything and
00:50:01.520 nobody said
00:50:02.100 any.
00:50:02.540 It doesn't
00:50:03.260 seem to be
00:50:03.720 there's not
00:50:04.440 some of this
00:50:05.640 would make some
00:50:06.420 sense if it was
00:50:07.280 easy for someone
00:50:08.300 who's wrongly
00:50:09.240 accused of
00:50:09.760 something to get
00:50:10.340 their stuff back.
00:50:11.520 I mean, maybe
00:50:11.900 you'd at least
00:50:12.340 argue it.
00:50:13.200 But I mean,
00:50:13.640 but see, this is
00:50:14.260 the deal.
00:50:16.320 We're not
00:50:16.980 prosecuting anybody.
00:50:18.400 We give them
00:50:18.900 every excuse
00:50:20.160 under the sun.
00:50:22.520 Oh, how many
00:50:24.040 times have you
00:50:24.480 been deported?
00:50:26.420 60?
00:50:27.640 Okay, well,
00:50:28.820 we're going to
00:50:29.480 turn around now
00:50:30.200 and let you go.
00:50:31.280 We make excuses
00:50:32.380 for everybody.
00:50:33.820 Nobody is held
00:50:35.320 responsible for
00:50:36.120 anything anymore.
00:50:37.680 But this?
00:50:40.220 We're holding you
00:50:41.140 responsible for
00:50:41.740 things you didn't
00:50:42.280 even do.
00:50:44.260 When you have
00:50:45.600 Visa starting
00:50:48.900 to put in
00:50:49.640 their new
00:50:51.620 program to go
00:50:52.800 to a cashless
00:50:53.620 society where
00:50:54.860 they're offering
00:50:55.340 businesses, I
00:50:56.340 think it's $10,000
00:50:57.100 to go cashless.
00:50:59.120 And you're seeing
00:50:59.640 this now happen.
00:51:00.380 There's a big story
00:51:00.940 out today about
00:51:01.520 how China is
00:51:02.400 moving cashless.
00:51:03.640 It is moving
00:51:04.800 at a rapid,
00:51:06.360 rapid pace.
00:51:07.600 And everybody
00:51:08.240 sees that as a
00:51:09.160 good thing.
00:51:10.680 Well, it sure
00:51:11.700 makes this a lot
00:51:12.480 easier, doesn't
00:51:13.000 it?
00:51:13.200 Yeah, when you
00:51:15.160 only have digits
00:51:15.800 instead of actual
00:51:16.580 cash?
00:51:17.000 Yeah, you can't
00:51:17.600 take anything out
00:51:18.540 of the cash.
00:51:19.100 All you have to
00:51:19.560 do is just shut
00:51:20.100 down your digits.
00:51:20.980 And that's the
00:51:21.400 problem, right?
00:51:21.860 Because everybody
00:51:22.260 sees it as a good
00:51:23.080 well, I don't use
00:51:23.680 cash that much
00:51:24.240 anyway.
00:51:24.960 So, you know,
00:51:25.520 no big deal.
00:51:26.180 You already can't
00:51:27.040 take, if you
00:51:27.960 wanted to take all
00:51:29.220 of your money out
00:51:30.220 of the bank,
00:51:32.060 could you do it
00:51:32.960 today?
00:51:33.500 No.
00:51:34.080 You have to give
00:51:34.600 them an advance
00:51:35.500 notice.
00:51:35.800 You have to give
00:51:36.300 them an advance
00:51:36.720 notice depending on
00:51:37.500 how much you do.
00:51:37.760 Unless you only have
00:51:38.160 $400 in there.
00:51:39.200 Unless you're Jeffy,
00:51:40.180 and then obviously
00:51:40.640 you could.
00:51:43.200 Draw a negative
00:51:43.580 about, is that
00:51:44.120 possible?
00:51:44.660 I don't know how
00:51:45.260 you would.
00:51:45.840 No, you can't.
00:51:46.540 Okay.
00:51:47.440 Yeah, he's tried.
00:51:48.760 If you had what
00:51:51.140 the average bank
00:51:52.040 account is, which
00:51:52.960 is probably the
00:51:54.160 average bank account,
00:51:55.120 $1,000 maybe,
00:51:57.740 average bank account,
00:51:58.700 you could probably
00:51:59.680 take that out.
00:52:01.200 But if you had
00:52:01.900 anything.
00:52:02.400 If you have $100,000,
00:52:03.540 you're not going to
00:52:03.940 get that out today.
00:52:04.680 No way.
00:52:05.220 No way you're
00:52:05.440 taking that out.
00:52:06.120 I bet you can't
00:52:07.280 take it out.
00:52:07.880 Your entire life
00:52:08.940 savings, and you
00:52:09.720 decided you didn't
00:52:10.880 trust the bank.
00:52:11.540 If you went down
00:52:12.140 there today and said,
00:52:12.920 I need my money
00:52:14.180 out.
00:52:14.620 Well, I'm not sure
00:52:16.300 that they would
00:52:16.800 ever be able to.
00:52:17.700 They would say that
00:52:18.860 we have to call the
00:52:19.680 treasury, we don't
00:52:20.420 have that kind of
00:52:21.000 money at the bank.
00:52:22.400 And I would accept
00:52:23.740 that.
00:52:24.360 But I will bet you
00:52:26.140 that you could not
00:52:27.220 take that money out
00:52:28.640 and walk out of
00:52:30.700 there with a briefcase
00:52:31.620 in a week or three
00:52:32.520 weeks or anything
00:52:33.200 without some sort
00:52:34.220 of harassment.
00:52:34.980 You would pay
00:52:35.640 dearly for doing
00:52:36.700 that.
00:52:37.420 Definitely.
00:52:38.780 I saw a documentary
00:52:39.480 about this in
00:52:40.140 Potterville, I think
00:52:40.820 it was.
00:52:43.320 In Potterville?
00:52:44.240 No, no.
00:52:45.180 No?
00:52:45.940 What is it?
00:52:46.640 No, it's not
00:52:47.400 Potterville.
00:52:47.940 Potter.
00:52:49.780 No?
00:52:50.140 I'm not helping you.
00:52:51.520 I'm not helping you.
00:52:53.000 You don't have to.
00:52:54.000 Just a shameless
00:52:54.920 effort for a Jimmy
00:52:56.000 Stewart imitation.
00:52:57.600 That was sad.
00:52:58.200 That was sad.
00:52:59.120 That was sad.
00:52:59.320 That was sad.
00:52:59.840 That was sad.
00:53:00.160 I mean, it really
00:53:00.620 is sad.
00:53:01.640 By the way, $2,900
00:53:02.300 for the median
00:53:03.200 account.
00:53:03.940 9,132 average
00:53:05.600 bank account.
00:53:07.100 It's $2,900.
00:53:10.540 But that money's
00:53:11.380 not there.
00:53:11.940 You're working
00:53:12.440 for Potter now.
00:53:14.580 That money's not
00:53:15.420 in the bank.
00:53:16.820 Right?
00:53:17.320 Right.
00:53:17.900 Right.
00:53:18.140 And that's what
00:53:18.940 he said.
00:53:20.380 It's not in the
00:53:21.240 bank.
00:53:21.760 It's with Jim
00:53:23.440 and Sarah.
00:53:24.860 You're going to
00:53:25.340 foreclose on them?
00:53:28.800 And I think that
00:53:29.640 mean guy would
00:53:30.240 have.
00:53:30.400 He would have
00:53:31.400 foreclosed on them.
00:53:32.480 Because he was a
00:53:32.520 bastard business
00:53:32.760 person.
00:53:33.160 Yeah, he was.
00:53:33.740 He only cared
00:53:34.220 about himself.
00:53:34.840 Yeah.
00:53:35.160 He was trying to
00:53:36.160 make a profit,
00:53:36.980 if I'm not mistaken.
00:53:37.980 I hate businessmen
00:53:39.060 like that.
00:53:40.120 Well, I wish there
00:53:41.820 was a network
00:53:42.840 that would show
00:53:43.640 movies that hated
00:53:45.480 businessmen like that.
00:53:46.140 All weekend long.
00:53:47.040 You know, where
00:53:47.560 they do a month
00:53:48.800 out of the year,
00:53:49.480 maybe around Christmas,
00:53:50.700 where they just show
00:53:51.360 how evil the
00:53:52.120 businessmen were.
00:53:52.780 It started this
00:53:53.440 past weekend.
00:53:53.980 It was Christmas
00:53:54.500 in July this weekend.
00:53:56.020 It was a Hallmark.
00:53:57.120 All weekend long.
00:53:58.080 Yes, it was.
00:53:58.880 Yeah.
00:53:59.060 So Hallmark was
00:54:01.180 doing Christmas
00:54:01.660 movies this weekend?
00:54:02.680 It was on all day
00:54:03.740 yesterday.
00:54:04.280 I was getting many
00:54:04.960 tweets about how
00:54:06.000 the Christmas
00:54:07.340 cookie movie was on
00:54:08.440 and it was very
00:54:09.600 similar to our
00:54:10.340 previous movie.
00:54:10.480 Anybody watch
00:54:11.420 Game of Thrones?
00:54:12.780 No, I did not
00:54:13.540 watch it last night.
00:54:14.540 But do you watch it?
00:54:15.720 Not enough to be able
00:54:17.400 to tell you about it,
00:54:18.240 no.
00:54:19.580 It's obviously a big
00:54:20.580 thing.
00:54:20.840 We're into seven
00:54:22.480 or eight seasons
00:54:23.180 now and it's been
00:54:24.100 on for a long time
00:54:24.800 and people have
00:54:26.140 been after me
00:54:26.940 to really get into
00:54:27.760 it, but I've got
00:54:28.380 so many other
00:54:28.960 shows going.
00:54:29.900 Yes, you do.
00:54:30.780 I can only keep
00:54:31.300 up with so many.
00:54:31.620 You're too busy
00:54:32.380 with all the rest.
00:54:33.100 It is the golden
00:54:33.460 age of television.
00:54:34.420 It is.
00:54:35.060 The golden age of
00:54:35.720 television.
00:54:35.840 Do you watch it?
00:54:36.780 No.
00:54:37.960 It's quite risque.
00:54:39.700 It's a big guy show.
00:54:40.560 It's definitely a big
00:54:41.320 guy show, so you two
00:54:42.220 may have to think
00:54:42.860 twice.
00:54:43.460 Yeah, I saw one
00:54:44.720 scene where
00:54:46.020 they, it was a
00:54:48.300 great scene where
00:54:49.220 some guy, the king
00:54:52.300 threw somebody
00:54:53.440 through a hole in
00:54:54.300 the floor or
00:54:55.120 something.
00:54:56.780 No, it threw his
00:54:57.680 wife or something
00:54:59.040 through some hole
00:55:00.160 in the floor down
00:55:00.900 in the mountains.
00:55:01.520 It was a weird, I
00:55:03.220 enjoyed that scene.
00:55:04.320 I thought that was
00:55:04.740 really good, but
00:55:05.380 haven't gotten into
00:55:06.060 it.
00:55:06.520 Now this, predictability.
00:55:08.340 You say that, when
00:55:08.860 I say that, you look
00:55:09.820 like you've never
00:55:10.560 seen that scene, so
00:55:11.340 this must be what
00:55:12.560 it's like all the
00:55:13.200 time on Game of
00:55:14.400 Thrones?
00:55:14.920 Yes.
00:55:15.360 Yes, okay.
00:55:16.900 Predictability is
00:55:17.740 boring.

00:56:09.300 You're listening to the
00:56:12.800 Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:15.500 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:56:22.500 We are back.
00:56:23.580 Hello and welcome to
00:56:24.240 the program.
00:56:25.960 You know, talking about
00:56:26.920 the digital currency and
00:56:29.200 trying to get your money
00:56:30.980 out of the bank.
00:56:31.680 This is one of the
00:56:32.200 reasons why they say
00:56:32.840 Bitcoin is really starting
00:56:34.160 to take off.
00:56:36.460 And they look at
00:56:39.100 things and say, you
00:56:40.220 know, gold is always
00:56:42.940 known as a safe haven.
00:56:46.880 But Bitcoin, people are
00:56:48.300 worried even about gold
00:56:49.420 or silver now because
00:56:51.140 things are getting so
00:56:52.300 crazy.
00:56:54.080 And what is Bitcoin up
00:56:55.360 to now?
00:56:56.300 It's over 2,000.
00:56:57.220 It's actually down quite
00:56:57.980 a bit from its real
00:56:58.800 peaks, which was almost
00:57:00.320 3,000.
00:57:01.260 When was that?
00:57:01.980 A few weeks ago.
00:57:03.120 That's a few weeks ago.
00:57:03.800 That's when I bought
00:57:04.400 3,000.
00:57:04.940 So it's down to 2,000
00:57:07.500 now?
00:57:08.280 Yeah, quote unquote
00:57:09.140 down to about a little
00:57:10.660 over 2,000.
00:57:12.860 Shoo.
00:57:13.360 Which is, you know,
00:57:14.140 I mean.
00:57:14.420 How's the time to buy
00:57:14.960 it?
00:57:16.240 That's what I thought
00:57:16.920 of 3,000.
00:57:17.580 Yeah.
00:57:18.360 I mean, who knows?
00:57:19.120 There's a big technical
00:57:20.500 issue coming up in the
00:57:21.340 next two weeks.
00:57:22.360 So we're doomed.
00:57:22.780 Which is a scary
00:57:25.340 proposition for it.
00:57:26.640 Not to go into too
00:57:27.460 much detail on it
00:57:28.220 because it's basically
00:57:29.740 the most boring thing
00:57:30.700 you could possibly talk
00:57:31.500 about.
00:57:31.960 So much of Bitcoin
00:57:32.920 seems to be that.
00:57:34.060 It is.
00:57:34.580 I mean, it really is.
00:57:35.360 It's really a crazy bet
00:57:38.300 to make, you know,
00:57:39.440 in some ways.
00:57:40.320 But with crazy upside.
00:57:40.920 Because you don't.
00:57:41.600 Yeah, with crazy upside.
00:57:42.880 I mean, it's the kind of
00:57:43.420 thing you lose everything
00:57:44.280 or you just, you gain
00:57:45.480 everything.
00:57:45.840 it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
00:57:49.240 really nuts.
00:57:51.100 That's why you don't put,
00:57:52.060 you don't, you just don't
00:57:52.660 put, you know, you don't
00:57:53.860 put your life savings in
00:57:54.880 there and you don't, you
00:57:55.780 don't invest in it except
00:57:57.800 for everything that you're
00:57:58.840 willing to lose.
00:57:59.760 You know, if you're a
00:58:00.380 betting man, it's a, it's a
00:58:03.140 worthwhile bet, you know,
00:58:04.580 that, because you don't
00:58:06.960 know what's going to happen.
00:58:08.740 Yeah.
00:58:09.180 Hit about 3,000 about a
00:58:10.860 little over a month ago.
00:58:11.840 Now it's a little over
00:58:12.760 2,000.
00:58:13.300 However, you go back just
00:58:14.720 three months, it was at
00:58:15.560 1,000.
00:58:16.600 So it's still up a hundred
00:58:18.040 percent, even after coming
00:58:20.200 off of its highs.
00:58:21.560 And if this technical issue
00:58:22.420 winds up working out
00:58:23.420 somehow, you know, it could
00:58:25.380 go a lot higher.
00:58:26.960 I read a story last week
00:58:27.860 that, you know, this is
00:58:29.160 crazy prediction, but
00:58:30.300 Bitcoin, 20,000 per coin
00:58:34.020 soon.
00:58:34.880 I mean, because the world
00:58:37.500 is so unstable and no one
00:58:40.080 knows what is going to
00:58:41.680 follow.
00:58:42.460 Back in a minute.
00:58:43.300 We are one.
00:58:46.360 The Glenn Beck Program.
00:58:49.380 Look at me.
00:58:53.440 This is the Glenn Beck
00:58:55.740 Program.
00:58:57.360 I see what
00:58:58.700 Elon Musk said at the
00:59:04.080 mayor's conference this
00:59:06.280 weekend.
00:59:07.520 The governor's conference.
00:59:08.940 It was quite astounding
00:59:12.540 to see him speak
00:59:15.540 saying, we really need
00:59:18.280 to do something about
00:59:20.320 AI.
00:59:22.380 He says that AI is
00:59:24.140 going to change the world
00:59:27.200 and not in a positive way.
00:59:29.920 He says that AI is
00:59:32.280 is a fundamental
00:59:35.100 quoting, a fundamental risk
00:59:37.040 to civilization.
00:59:38.660 He says it's a fundamental
00:59:39.980 risk to the existence of
00:59:42.100 mankind.
00:59:43.300 On the artificial
00:59:44.380 intelligence front, I have
00:59:46.440 exposure to the very most
00:59:49.160 cutting edge AI.
00:59:50.500 AI, and I think people
00:59:51.980 should really be concerned
00:59:53.200 about it.
00:59:53.720 I keep sounding the alarm
00:59:55.240 bell, but until people see
00:59:57.340 like robots going down the
00:59:58.700 street killing people, they
01:00:00.480 won't know how to react
01:00:01.720 because it seems so
01:00:03.120 ethereal.
01:00:04.560 He said we should really be
01:00:05.980 concerned about AI and that
01:00:08.300 emerging technology presents a
01:00:10.060 rare case where the government
01:00:11.420 should be proactive in
01:00:12.800 regulation instead of reactive
01:00:14.880 to industry.
01:00:15.780 By the time we're reactive
01:00:17.800 to AI, regulation will be
01:00:20.080 too late.
01:00:21.540 Normally, the way
01:00:22.500 regulation is set up, a
01:00:23.940 whole bunch of bad things
01:00:25.120 happen, there's a public
01:00:26.080 outcry, and then after
01:00:27.560 years, a regulatory agency
01:00:29.480 is set up to regulate that
01:00:30.820 industry.
01:00:31.740 There's a bunch of
01:00:32.480 opposition from companies
01:00:33.720 who don't like to be told
01:00:34.840 what to do by regulators,
01:00:36.100 and it takes forever.
01:00:37.480 That in the past has been
01:00:38.960 bad, but not something which
01:00:40.820 represented a fundamental
01:00:42.040 risk to the existence of
01:00:43.780 civilization.
01:00:44.420 Car accidents, airplane
01:00:46.500 crashes, faulty drugs, bad
01:00:48.480 foods are merely harmful to
01:00:50.780 certain parts of society, but
01:00:53.060 AI will affect all of
01:00:55.020 society.
01:00:56.160 I'm against over-regulation
01:00:57.640 for sure, but I think we
01:00:59.320 better get that with AI.
01:01:03.160 I really think we need a lot
01:01:05.080 of government regulation
01:01:06.220 here.
01:01:07.220 Robots will be able to do
01:01:08.620 everything better than us.
01:01:10.420 I'm not sure, and I'm not
01:01:12.560 exactly sure what to do
01:01:14.940 about when machines reach
01:01:16.520 their potential.
01:01:17.700 This is really like the
01:01:19.240 scariest problem to me.
01:01:21.020 I lose a lot of sleep.
01:01:22.920 Clearly, he talks about it
01:01:24.340 all the time.
01:01:25.960 It's really why he's going
01:01:26.900 to Mars.
01:01:28.340 Yeah.
01:01:28.640 I mean, most people don't
01:01:29.480 really realize that.
01:01:30.720 That's why he says he's going
01:01:32.200 to Mars.
01:01:32.820 He believes in this.
01:01:34.280 Escaping AI.
01:01:34.780 He says this threat is so
01:01:36.900 bad that if humans aren't
01:01:41.180 on another planet, they risk
01:01:44.460 extermination from AI.
01:01:46.520 Every Elon Musk speech is
01:01:49.140 like the, as the opening
01:01:51.440 music is running in some
01:01:52.940 apocalyptic story, like
01:01:54.320 they're showing these old
01:01:56.000 timey clips of some guy
01:01:57.340 predicting terrible things,
01:01:59.580 and then you just join the
01:02:00.840 present day with like 12
01:02:02.260 people left on the planet.
01:02:03.220 Yeah.
01:02:04.680 It really is like that.
01:02:05.860 I mean, he's freaked out
01:02:06.600 beyond even you, I think,
01:02:09.000 Glenn.
01:02:09.640 Isn't he?
01:02:10.100 Oh, I don't know.
01:02:11.000 I mean, you don't even, I
01:02:12.120 know you've got fears there
01:02:13.420 and concerns about AI.
01:02:14.680 I am really concerned about
01:02:16.420 AI.
01:02:16.440 And I have some too, but I'm
01:02:17.860 not like Elon Musk over it.
01:02:20.560 The problem with AI is it
01:02:22.620 doesn't think like us, and
01:02:24.660 that's what we cannot predict.
01:02:26.820 And we've just learned this
01:02:28.300 from, what is that, my
01:02:29.960 jang or something, what is
01:02:31.120 that game, the, the, the
01:02:33.200 Chinese game that's harder
01:02:35.180 than chess?
01:02:35.840 Yeah, more complex.
01:02:36.780 I don't remember, but it,
01:02:37.960 it beats the masters at that
01:02:40.000 game.
01:02:40.380 Okay.
01:02:40.600 So AI just, you remember
01:02:43.420 when Big Blue beat, what
01:02:46.460 was it, Kasparov, he accused
01:02:49.460 IBM of cheating.
01:02:51.120 And they're like, no, it's, it's
01:02:53.500 AI, but it took them like
01:02:54.880 three years to beat
01:02:55.960 Kasparov.
01:02:57.240 So there's another game, this
01:02:58.980 Chinese game, you're looking
01:03:00.660 up, Pat.
01:03:01.680 Yeah.
01:03:02.020 And it just beat the master,
01:03:05.000 the grand master of this, of
01:03:07.100 this game.
01:03:07.760 It's supposedly far, far more
01:03:11.180 complex than chess.
01:03:14.500 It beat the master and the
01:03:16.540 master said, it's an illegal
01:03:19.160 move, you can't make that
01:03:20.060 move.
01:03:21.060 And they started going back
01:03:22.540 and looking at it and it's
01:03:23.860 not an illegal move.
01:03:25.140 It's just that it's just a
01:03:26.420 move that no human had ever
01:03:28.020 thought of.
01:03:29.420 And it won the game quickly.
01:03:32.400 And it, it apparently,
01:03:34.820 they're saying now that AI can
01:03:36.980 beat the top 50 masters all
01:03:39.760 combined at this game.
01:03:41.360 Is it Kijai?
01:03:42.840 Maybe.
01:03:43.520 I don't know.
01:03:44.700 Anyway.
01:03:45.020 I haven't played it for a
01:03:46.120 while.
01:03:46.980 What do you, what do you
01:03:48.800 think about his approach
01:03:49.600 there though?
01:03:50.160 It's interesting in that, you
01:03:51.420 know, Elon Musk is a business
01:03:52.880 guy, but certainly very
01:03:55.180 friendly with government.
01:03:57.140 A big, gets chunks of money
01:03:58.760 every time he sells one of his
01:03:59.680 products from, from the
01:04:00.560 government.
01:04:01.040 Also is a fan, a big green
01:04:03.680 energy guy, like certainly is
01:04:05.600 on board for over-regulation
01:04:06.940 even despite that last claim,
01:04:09.080 at least in my opinion.
01:04:10.280 However, if you go and you
01:04:11.280 over-regulate artificial
01:04:12.780 intelligence, you wind up
01:04:14.580 with what?
01:04:15.380 Japan, China, Russia, who's
01:04:17.440 leading the way instead of
01:04:18.560 us?
01:04:19.460 Because they're not, here's
01:04:20.200 the problem, we're not going
01:04:20.460 to be able to regulate them.
01:04:21.100 It needs to be a global, it
01:04:23.140 needs to be, I mean,
01:04:24.200 global governance though is
01:04:25.540 what that, hang on just a
01:04:26.940 second.
01:04:28.100 We have to come up with
01:04:29.940 something like in the movie
01:04:32.860 iRobot, you know, the three
01:04:35.520 principles, we have to come
01:04:37.400 up with that.
01:04:38.440 See, go back to the game.
01:04:39.720 It doesn't think like we
01:04:43.080 do.
01:04:43.620 So, they're saying now that
01:04:45.460 AI almost has to be
01:04:48.580 introduced to humans like a
01:04:51.600 baby and it's because you
01:04:54.920 will say, wait, whoa, whoa,
01:04:56.460 watch the furniture and you
01:04:58.980 will say the same thing.
01:05:00.100 Hey, hey, hey, be careful of
01:05:01.200 the baby and it won't know the
01:05:03.640 difference between the baby and
01:05:05.420 the furniture.
01:05:05.940 It doesn't know the, it
01:05:08.240 doesn't know.
01:05:08.660 So, you have to teach it the
01:05:10.840 value of everything that it's
01:05:14.660 going to encounter.
01:05:15.860 Well, we don't even know the
01:05:17.440 value of life.
01:05:19.120 We're having that discussion
01:05:20.360 now.
01:05:21.900 Life is sacred if.
01:05:24.800 Unless you're too young or too
01:05:26.180 old or not wanted or too sick.
01:05:29.500 Or don't have a.
01:05:30.660 Too poor.
01:05:31.220 Don't have a life worth living.
01:05:33.680 Yeah, I mean, how many times
01:05:34.640 have we heard?
01:05:35.120 Well, it's a, you have to
01:05:36.180 have X, Y, or Z government
01:05:37.680 program or life isn't worth
01:05:39.140 living.
01:05:39.720 Right.
01:05:41.040 So, they're saying that it
01:05:43.240 could quickly learn in a
01:05:47.500 completely different way than
01:05:49.500 we're expecting.
01:05:50.840 Yeah, and that's what
01:05:51.420 happened in the game is
01:05:52.480 called Go.
01:05:53.720 That's what it is.
01:05:54.700 Go.
01:05:55.140 And so, this machine called
01:05:57.140 AlphaGo was taught how to
01:05:59.900 play.
01:06:00.120 And at first it lost.
01:06:01.240 And then, but it learned.
01:06:02.460 And it developed this unusual
01:06:04.540 style of playing that nobody
01:06:06.180 else played like.
01:06:08.280 And so, that's how it started.
01:06:09.920 And the Grandmaster, who was
01:06:11.600 only 19 years old, tried to play
01:06:13.340 in the same unusual style and
01:06:15.140 still lost.
01:06:16.680 So, a little interesting.
01:06:19.960 Yeah, you want to talk about,
01:06:20.840 you want to talk about
01:06:21.800 asymmetrical warfare.
01:06:24.040 It's AI.
01:06:25.240 Yeah.
01:06:25.480 AI will have, it will be so
01:06:31.620 asymmetrical to our puny little
01:06:33.840 brains and the way we think.
01:06:36.620 And it will be, it will literally
01:06:38.780 be introducing alien thinking to
01:06:43.160 the world.
01:06:44.000 It will not think like us.
01:06:46.600 It will learn and think in an
01:06:49.140 entirely new way, which will be
01:06:51.660 great.
01:06:52.440 There are going to be a lot of
01:06:53.340 positive ramifications of that,
01:06:54.720 too, by the way.
01:06:55.580 Yeah, it will be great.
01:06:56.540 Things that have stumped us, like
01:06:57.800 cancer cures and, I mean,
01:07:00.120 perpetual motion machines and
01:07:02.060 all the things.
01:07:02.900 But think we can't even, as a
01:07:04.100 society, agree on basic things
01:07:06.100 like, what is truth?
01:07:09.480 How are we going to tell, teach
01:07:12.600 AI absolute truth when we don't
01:07:15.840 even agree with absolute truth?
01:07:17.480 We don't even know what absolute
01:07:18.640 truth.
01:07:19.120 We have no boundaries on anything.
01:07:21.400 If you can do it, you should do it.
01:07:27.280 There is no such thing as good
01:07:29.740 pain.
01:07:30.700 There's no such thing as good
01:07:32.660 failure in today's society.
01:07:36.300 So what do we become?
01:07:40.540 Elon Musk said, the transportation job
01:07:43.540 sector accounts for 4.6 million jobs.
01:07:47.080 It's going to be the first thing to go
01:07:49.600 fully autonomous.
01:07:50.960 The robots will do everything, bar
01:07:53.580 nothing.
01:07:55.540 Various technology companies are
01:07:57.220 racing to build better AI systems to
01:07:59.300 stay competitive in the market.
01:08:00.860 Facebook with Messenger, Apple with
01:08:02.880 Siri, Amazon with Alexa, some major
01:08:04.960 consumer examples around the corner.
01:08:07.040 AI-powered autonomous cars.
01:08:09.520 Service companies like Uber that is
01:08:11.740 increasingly waving AI into its
01:08:14.100 ride-hailing app.
01:08:16.760 Musk said, we really need the
01:08:19.420 regulators to come in and say, hey
01:08:21.340 guys, we need you to take a pause and
01:08:24.520 make sure we thought this thing
01:08:25.960 through.
01:08:26.880 When it's cool and the regulators are
01:08:28.860 convinced it's safe to proceed, then
01:08:30.760 you can go, but otherwise slow down.
01:08:34.620 Complicating matters is the fact that
01:08:36.080 the biggest companies developing AI right
01:08:37.820 now are publicly held and stock owners
01:08:39.740 will demand the company aggressively
01:08:41.380 stay ahead of the competition when it
01:08:43.640 comes to developing AI.
01:08:46.580 I don't know how you can regulate
01:08:49.120 this.
01:08:49.940 You can't.
01:08:50.460 You can't.
01:08:50.900 You can try to do something where you
01:08:52.900 come up with best practices among the
01:08:54.580 industries involved and try to set it
01:08:58.480 down those basic guidelines.
01:09:00.220 And you can try to treat them like
01:09:01.820 nuclear weapons.
01:09:03.640 I mean, that's the only other type of
01:09:04.800 thing.
01:09:05.000 And again, even that is obviously not
01:09:06.280 easily self-controlled.
01:09:07.560 But this stuff will start creating
01:09:09.060 itself.
01:09:10.140 Once it's successful, it's going to
01:09:11.620 advance on its own and you're not
01:09:13.220 going to be able to stop it.
01:09:14.060 Here's what he said.
01:09:15.020 You're going to see robots that will
01:09:16.460 learn to walk from nothing within
01:09:19.760 hours.
01:09:20.940 That would be something.
01:09:22.840 He said, while killer robots are easy
01:09:25.640 to visualize, the most dangerous threat
01:09:27.820 is the deep intelligence in the network.
01:09:31.860 He said they could start a war by
01:09:33.820 creating fake news and spoofing email
01:09:36.260 accounts and sending out fake press
01:09:38.900 releases as a way to manipulate
01:09:40.680 information.
01:09:42.000 The pen today is mightier than the
01:09:44.060 sword.
01:09:44.980 How are you going to how are you going
01:09:47.080 to out think?
01:09:49.100 Deep mind.
01:09:50.940 How are you going to how are you going
01:09:52.700 to prove that something?
01:09:54.680 Remember, the Russians just perfected the
01:09:58.940 picture of Neil Armstrong on the moon,
01:10:01.800 except the American flag was replaced
01:10:05.280 with a Russian flag and the American
01:10:07.080 flag was on his shoulder was replaced
01:10:09.760 with CCCP.
01:10:11.740 And they offered, I think, $100,000 to
01:10:14.380 anyone who could prove that that had been
01:10:17.120 manipulated.
01:10:18.220 They now say that they have perfected
01:10:21.120 artificial manipulation of pictures
01:10:23.760 where you can't tell that that is not a
01:10:27.820 real photo that no investigation can tell
01:10:32.620 that that's been digitized and recreated,
01:10:36.260 changed.
01:10:38.080 How are you going to I mean, do you
01:10:39.620 remember back in the 90s?
01:10:41.280 You won't believe your eyes.
01:10:42.660 You won't believe in anything anymore
01:10:44.320 because everything will be fake and
01:10:46.520 manipulated and you won't know what's
01:10:48.380 real or not.
01:10:49.160 What I'm starting to fear is the actual
01:10:51.020 willing start of that in that like I
01:10:54.340 so there's so much crap out there
01:10:56.080 anymore.
01:10:56.440 I find it more and more difficult to
01:10:57.880 care about it.
01:10:59.280 Like I just my my answer to everyone
01:11:01.860 lying all the time is to just not
01:11:04.060 believe anybody and just just blow it
01:11:07.320 off, which as a society is not a good
01:11:09.600 reaction.
01:11:10.100 Hopefully I'm the only one doing that.
01:11:11.960 But I mean, I don't think I am.
01:11:13.960 I do not think I am.
01:11:15.900 You just wind up realizing, you know,
01:11:17.140 more and more so little of this stuff
01:11:18.960 winds up mattering in your life that
01:11:21.440 it's easy to just kind of blow it off
01:11:23.260 and then there's nobody guarding the
01:11:24.800 the gate.
01:11:26.300 So Jason, who works for us, he's he
01:11:29.220 does research and he came in.
01:11:32.060 I came in this morning and and went to
01:11:34.420 his desk.
01:11:34.860 He was working on something.
01:11:35.720 He said, have you read Cheryl
01:11:36.740 Atkinson's new book yet?
01:11:37.900 And I said, no.
01:11:39.260 He said, oh, you need to.
01:11:40.460 He said a good portion of it's
01:11:41.560 dedicated to you.
01:11:43.240 And I said, what are you talking
01:11:44.560 about?
01:11:44.880 And he said she does an expose on how
01:11:49.300 they really perfected and how everything
01:11:54.660 changed because of you, how the left
01:11:58.880 learned how to discredit and smear.
01:12:01.640 He was telling me stuff.
01:12:02.760 She did research on what they did to us,
01:12:05.640 what they did to smear my reputation.
01:12:08.240 I didn't even know half of it.
01:12:10.920 And it's in her new book, apparently.
01:12:13.980 And he said that she's claiming that it
01:12:17.200 was it was how the left poured money
01:12:20.640 into trying to discredit me.
01:12:23.320 That might be somebody we need to have
01:12:24.540 on the air.
01:12:25.060 Yeah.
01:12:25.280 Yeah, I think so.
01:12:26.100 We've had her on before.
01:12:27.160 It's yeah.
01:12:27.500 No, no.
01:12:27.960 She and it's apparently I have not read
01:12:29.720 the book yet.
01:12:30.300 We should get grab Jason and just see
01:12:31.800 what he says, because it was fascinating
01:12:33.520 in the, you know, in a hallway talk.
01:12:34.980 Did she cover however they chose us
01:12:37.060 to work with you to try to destroy
01:12:38.260 you from the inside?
01:12:39.020 Did they go through that whole process?
01:12:41.940 North Korea may have more nuclear
01:12:43.940 bomb material than we thought.
01:12:46.140 Thermal images of North Korea's main
01:12:47.840 nuclear site now shows that they may
01:12:50.540 have reprocessed more plutonium
01:12:53.160 than previously thought that can be
01:12:55.540 used to enlarge its nuclear weapons
01:12:57.120 stockpile.
01:12:58.460 They've already tested five nuclear bombs.
01:13:01.120 Officials and experts say they could
01:13:02.620 test a sixth at any time.
01:13:05.980 This is such good news.
01:13:07.820 I'm really bumming myself out today.
01:13:09.600 I've got to work on a happier show
01:13:11.060 for tomorrow because I'm bumming
01:13:12.680 myself out today.
01:13:13.880 There's a new report out from
01:13:15.400 President Reagan's budget director,
01:13:16.840 David Stockman, and the report
01:13:19.560 identifies five threats to the economy.
01:13:23.260 This is a commercial sponsored by
01:13:25.860 Goldline.
01:13:26.760 In this report, it's available for free.
01:13:30.360 He says that there are five things
01:13:32.420 that could collapse this economy.
01:13:34.080 There are many others.
01:13:35.640 I was talking to my wife about this
01:13:36.720 this weekend.
01:13:37.340 Yeah, she had a happy weekend.
01:13:38.980 And I said, you know, that there are
01:13:41.060 those who are saying that this is all
01:13:42.540 lining up to be the fall of 1929,
01:13:46.080 which was the big stock market crash.
01:13:48.900 I hope not.
01:13:50.640 But man, there are so many things in the air
01:13:53.820 that nobody is talking to because talking
01:13:56.640 about because they're just they're yelling
01:13:58.620 at each other about fake news in Russia.
01:14:00.860 For the love of Pete, pay attention to what
01:14:03.680 is really going on.
01:14:05.740 Watch the other hand.
01:14:08.040 There's an exclusive report.
01:14:09.340 It's available now by calling 866-465-3546,
01:14:13.260 866-GOLDLINE.
01:14:14.900 Also, they're extending their price
01:14:16.160 protection programs for as little as $2,500.
01:14:18.780 You'll get three months of price protection
01:14:20.820 all the way up to a year for $25,000 of investment.
01:14:25.820 Call Goldline at 1-866-GOLDLINE,
01:14:28.100 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:14:30.620 Talking about the the president's poll numbers
01:14:47.360 are down now, but they're they're going to go back up.
01:14:50.740 I think this this attack that he's using to go back
01:14:55.960 and attack the press is actually going to work for him.
01:14:59.040 So this is the lowest numbers any president has had
01:15:02.280 in this time in his presidency,
01:15:03.700 at least in the last 70 years.
01:15:05.720 I think that goes back to Truman.
01:15:07.340 Does it not, Stu?
01:15:08.340 Do you know?
01:15:08.960 Yeah, the story I read and went back to Truman,
01:15:11.100 although Truman was very obviously in 1945 popular.
01:15:14.940 But I mean, so they just don't have the numbers
01:15:16.880 before that.
01:15:18.780 We'll give you the numbers, what the strategy is
01:15:21.420 and what the president is doing,
01:15:23.100 what his surrogates are doing.
01:15:25.280 And the press is just I mean, I mean,
01:15:28.120 did you see the did you see the handshake thing
01:15:31.200 that they did?
01:15:31.940 Oh, I mean, got it.
01:15:34.420 Guys, really, seek some medical attention.
01:15:39.140 Seek some medical attention.
01:15:41.300 We have that and how the left perfected this.
01:15:46.160 Coming up.
01:15:47.620 The Glenn Beck program.
01:15:50.720 Mercury.
01:15:51.320 Mercury.
01:15:51.520 Mercury.
01:15:51.920 Mercury.
01:15:52.520 Mercury.
01:15:53.520 Mercury.
01:15:54.520 Mercury.
01:15:55.520 Mercury.
01:15:56.520 Mercury.
01:15:57.520 The blaze radio network.
01:16:09.600 On demand.
01:16:13.000 Hello, America, and welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
01:16:15.780 So glad that you're here.
01:16:17.500 More on the Russia Trump thing.
01:16:21.240 Trump started to swing back this weekend,
01:16:23.720 and I think it's actually going to help his poll numbers,
01:16:25.980 which are the worst of any president in the last 70 years at this point in his presidency.
01:16:34.620 Did the left hurt themselves and and really cause the reaction that Americans are having
01:16:44.640 to this right now, where they're yawning and saying, huh?
01:16:49.860 Well, all right, so move on.
01:16:53.500 Is that something the left did?
01:16:55.800 How does the left work?
01:16:58.020 We have a little insight on that beginning right now.
01:17:00.500 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment, this is the Glenn Beck program.
01:17:26.720 Welcome to the program.
01:17:33.720 We are glad that you're here.
01:17:35.660 There's nothing really new in the Trump front that you need to know about with a Trump Russia
01:17:41.280 scandal.
01:17:41.940 That's not going to stop the news media from reporting on it for hours and hours and hours
01:17:48.500 and hours.
01:17:48.980 But there is nothing really new here, except what the president's, you know, own people
01:17:55.020 came out and what he tweeted about this weekend.
01:17:57.540 We have gone from there was no collusion to, well, collusion is not a crime.
01:18:05.220 And there was no crime here.
01:18:07.560 And that actually is accurate.
01:18:09.960 So far, what we know is is fairly accurate.
01:18:13.160 That's why there's an investigation and the media has nothing.
01:18:17.320 When you look at the poll numbers of the president, he's down to 36 percent approval rating.
01:18:25.020 Stu, were you surprised by that number?
01:18:27.060 Not really.
01:18:27.600 If you look at it, he's been actually pretty stable approval rating wise for about two months
01:18:32.860 since about mid May was when he fell to the levels where he kind of is now.
01:18:38.280 He was at what, 42?
01:18:39.720 Yes.
01:18:40.020 However, that's misleading.
01:18:40.820 The ABC, I think it's an ABC poll that came out and said that.
01:18:44.620 The reason why that looks so bad is because the last time the poll was taken was April.
01:18:49.600 So he had a fall off in mid May that has, he stayed pretty darn consistent since mid May.
01:18:55.180 The issue is that poll was taken before that drop off.
01:18:57.860 So it looks like a bigger drop than is real.
01:19:02.060 So he didn't, when you look at it, you know, as the weeks go by, he didn't really drop off
01:19:06.580 because of the Russia scandal?
01:19:08.080 Uh, I mean, certainly not this late.
01:19:10.880 I mean, the latest meeting is probably a little too recent to see anything.
01:19:14.500 Um, I mean, I don't know when, when would you say the Russians, Russia scandal started?
01:19:18.520 I mean, I mean, I would say, no, I would say, no, no, no.
01:19:21.760 I would say the scandal really, most people thought it was ridiculous.
01:19:25.960 You know, I don't think anybody has changed their minds.
01:19:27.780 No, I, I've changed my mind.
01:19:30.940 Um, I did not think that we would ever find anything like this.
01:19:35.760 Like the email.
01:19:36.720 Like the email.
01:19:37.300 I didn't believe in collusion for a second.
01:19:39.940 No collusion.
01:19:40.620 That was ridiculous to believe.
01:19:42.900 Now you look at it and there was at least a willingness to collude.
01:19:47.460 And the Russians did reach out and say, hey, we're on your side.
01:19:51.360 I never thought that.
01:19:52.300 I never thought that.
01:19:53.500 I thought the Russians just wanted to cause chaos.
01:19:57.140 And, uh, you know, I still believe that Donald Trump just may be a useful idiot to Vladimir Putin
01:20:04.260 and not know that, you know, not know how this works.
01:20:08.700 Uh, but, you know, this, this guy that is his friend over in Moscow is known now.
01:20:13.560 We found out over the weekend is known as, you know, Putin's fixer.
01:20:17.860 So he is directly tied to fixing Putin's problems.
01:20:22.400 Is that the same guy from the pageant?
01:20:25.280 Yes.
01:20:25.720 Yes.
01:20:26.340 Yes.
01:20:27.380 He's, he's, he's Putin's fixer.
01:20:30.160 Yes.
01:20:30.760 Okay, good.
01:20:31.940 So, but, you know, some of the, I don't think,
01:20:33.760 I don't think Donald Trump knows that or knew that.
01:20:36.380 Probably not.
01:20:36.940 Yeah.
01:20:37.520 Some of the, some of the poll stuff is a little overblown, I think, in that, you know,
01:20:41.060 like they're talking about him being the least popular president at six months, uh,
01:20:45.540 that of any in measured history.
01:20:47.240 However, he also started as the least popular president of any in measured history.
01:20:50.840 So it's not, you know, yes, he's fallen.
01:20:53.320 He's fallen at a, at a middle of the pack rate, uh, compared to other presidents.
01:20:58.400 It's, it's not, it's not like, you know, I mean, Gerald Ford is the most crazy example.
01:21:02.400 He was a plus 68 and then he pardoned Nixon and he was minus six.
01:21:06.640 So he fell by 74 points, kind of the weird outlier there.
01:21:09.820 Um, but Barack Obama fell more than Donald Trump has in the first six months.
01:21:14.360 Bill Clinton.
01:21:14.940 Oh, I think he is.
01:21:15.740 Jimmy Carter.
01:21:16.060 I think he has a strong base.
01:21:17.160 I don't know what really, I don't know what you're going to do to shake his base.
01:21:21.460 I don't think there's anything you could do to shake his base.
01:21:23.260 Some polls are showing that he has literally lost zero support of people.
01:21:27.720 I believe that I believe that I will say, I think his support will go up.
01:21:32.100 If, if this is all that turns up, I think his support will go back up.
01:21:36.900 The indication is it's the support is softening.
01:21:39.800 The polling shows when he started, uh, strong, you know, they break it up to strong support
01:21:44.320 and lighter support, um, that a lot of the people who were strong supporters have navigated
01:21:50.160 themselves to lighter support.
01:21:52.060 So they still kind of approving, but not a strong approval.
01:21:54.540 I don't see a heck of a lot of evidence of that.
01:21:56.300 I don't either like the guy we played last week from Washington, that talk show in Washington,
01:22:01.120 uh, who cried, uh, he, he's in desperate straits.
01:22:07.340 It sounds like financially right now, he's just hanging on with, by the skin of his teeth.
01:22:12.240 And even he is not disappointed in the job Trump does because here's he's, he believes
01:22:18.240 Trump's been blocked at everything he wants to do.
01:22:20.520 May I suggest that the left caused this problem, the media and the left caused this problem.
01:22:27.220 And it just started with the inauguration weekend when they were marching during his
01:22:32.480 inauguration.
01:22:33.560 Well, what the hell are you marching against?
01:22:35.900 You knew what you were getting.
01:22:36.860 He's the president of the United States.
01:22:38.340 All the, everything from the very beginning has been a scandal.
01:22:42.240 And so when you actually stumble upon one, nobody cares or nobody's listening to you anymore.
01:22:48.520 You have zero credibility.
01:22:50.860 I think the media has caused this by not taking a moment after the election and saying, okay,
01:22:57.900 okay, wait a minute.
01:22:59.720 What were we doing that caused half the country to look at us with a side eye?
01:23:05.740 For instance, we brought Jason in.
01:23:09.200 He said that he was, he, I stopped by his desk this morning and he was reading a book by
01:23:13.780 Sheryl Atkinson.
01:23:14.740 What's it called?
01:23:15.700 The Smear.
01:23:17.340 And I didn't even know this, but I apparently am a chapter in this book.
01:23:22.200 A good portion of a chapter.
01:23:23.720 Okay.
01:23:24.100 And, and what does it say?
01:23:26.060 What is the book about?
01:23:26.800 What's it say?
01:23:27.540 Well, it's funny when we first, we didn't even know that you were going to be in this book.
01:23:30.520 So I was like, I better read all through this.
01:23:32.020 It was fascinating.
01:23:32.720 But we saw actually a picture of your eyes on the book and I was like, is this, I was
01:23:38.840 like, Hmm.
01:23:39.460 So I skipped to this, this portion and it was all about how throughout history, the media
01:23:44.260 has basically upped their game a little bit when they want to, you know, try to do a smear
01:23:48.600 campaign, uh, or just spread fake news.
01:23:51.360 And they pinpointed when David Brock and media matters went after you at Fox news and they
01:23:56.900 did their whole dump Fox campaign.
01:23:58.440 Um, as a, as a significant point where this completely spiraled out of control, I cannot
01:24:04.820 believe the stuff that you guys went through.
01:24:06.960 I mean, this is a crazy illustration that she goes into talking about how, um, David Brock
01:24:12.340 and media matters at the time were so linked in to the media, like the media, they would
01:24:17.840 like quote media matters and they would just take their research as just fact.
01:24:22.180 It still happens.
01:24:25.080 And then they, so they would listen to every single word that you would say.
01:24:28.840 They hired a team of reporters, multiple writers who would already have these articles already
01:24:33.940 written up.
01:24:34.600 They would seize on one little thing, blow it out of proportion, instantly distribute that
01:24:39.260 out of context, make it look like something it wasn't.
01:24:41.940 And that was actually based off of a model that they ran off of to, to ditch Imus.
01:24:46.260 They took that and we're like, Hmm, how can we take that model and up that game?
01:24:52.620 Let's wreck Beck.
01:24:53.900 And that's actually the title of this section and, and, uh, is wrecking Beck, but it was
01:24:58.720 the same.
01:24:58.960 Like they, they hired, um, uh, private investigators and this is all in, uh, internal memos between
01:25:04.420 David Brock and his, the, uh, uh, guy named Carl Freish, the guy that I think he tried to
01:25:09.600 get a Howard Dean elected.
01:25:10.780 He was a democratic stat strategist.
01:25:12.220 They all went to work for media matters and internal menu, uh, a memo.
01:25:15.800 They were like, let's hire private investigators.
01:25:17.720 Let's follow him everywhere he goes.
01:25:19.140 Let's stake out every single event he goes to.
01:25:21.080 Let's follow him around.
01:25:22.400 Let's get any kind of dirt we can to use against this guy.
01:25:25.440 Yeah, it does sound familiar.
01:25:26.440 And then they launched other, other, uh, organizations underneath that that were getting
01:25:31.220 a hundred thousand, 200,000 donations.
01:25:33.120 All the tons of money was going into this specifically to target the people that were running ads on Fox.
01:25:39.160 It sounds exactly almost like they did the exact same playbook against O'Reilly.
01:25:42.640 It sounds like the exact same thing.
01:25:44.480 No, it's, I mean, this is absolutely true.
01:25:47.140 Oh yeah.
01:25:47.680 We, we often said, we knew a lot of that was going on.
01:25:50.340 We sat in my office.
01:25:52.060 I don't know how many days and said, we could expose this today and no one will believe us.
01:25:58.720 No one will believe what's been going on.
01:26:01.700 Um, I mean, they went through my trash.
01:26:03.600 They, and it was on the, both on the right and the left, um, uh, I am going to write a
01:26:09.900 book, um, about my time at Fox because there's a lot to expose on the right and the left of
01:26:17.480 what was done to me and my wife and my family.
01:26:20.600 It was shocking, uh, what was done and more so, uh, only because of the, of where it was
01:26:28.780 coming from on the right, when the right started doing it, I lost all hope.
01:26:33.960 I was just like, Oh my gosh.
01:26:36.220 And the only thing that saved me, how many times have we said this?
01:26:39.220 The only thing that saved me was I didn't have any skeletons in my closet.
01:26:43.760 I mean, they paid, we had both.
01:26:45.860 And let's be clear.
01:26:46.480 That's just because you've opened the closet for everyone.
01:26:48.580 Oh yeah.
01:26:48.860 It's not because you haven't done anything horrible.
01:26:50.720 No, I've done, I've done, you know, all kinds of stuff, but I just let everybody know
01:26:54.600 and said, okay, this is who I am.
01:26:56.420 And so beat you to the punch and it might not be the entire closet.
01:27:00.660 How much cash were they offering?
01:27:04.320 So this is what they're, this, they learned it there.
01:27:08.160 And this, their mistake is, I think they're overplaying their hand.
01:27:12.240 They're, they're too cocky now.
01:27:14.100 They think that they can just take Donald Trump down.
01:27:19.580 Um, but Donald Trump, and this is why he's popular is people,
01:27:24.600 people instinctively know what Cheryl Atkinson has written.
01:27:28.200 And what's the name of this book?
01:27:29.460 Uh, it's the smear, the smear, how shady political operatives and fake news control.
01:27:33.480 You see what you think and how you vote.
01:27:35.260 Okay.
01:27:35.480 So people instinctively know that.
01:27:38.400 And it's interesting you say that because she makes the point at the very end.
01:27:41.160 She was like, so there, the entire, uh, machine that was built around this and mostly perfected
01:27:46.760 by what they did to you was that, Hey, you go after them, you go after them, you go after them,
01:27:50.680 you either get them fired or you force an apology and then they'll have to retract
01:27:54.420 or something.
01:27:54.920 That's how it's always worked.
01:27:55.800 And that's how they've always played it.
01:27:57.300 But Trump was what she called the wild card.
01:27:59.380 He was the first one that didn't play it that way.
01:28:01.620 They came after him with an allegation and he shot right back at them.
01:28:05.420 And they were like, Whoa, we don't know how to deal with this.
01:28:07.260 He didn't apologize.
01:28:08.540 He didn't step back.
01:28:09.720 And for the first time, his supporters were like, see that he has resolved.
01:28:14.280 That's why he won.
01:28:15.580 And then eventually they were like, wait a minute.
01:28:17.120 We don't trust anything that the media has been saying.
01:28:19.060 They were wrong about, you know, they, they said that there was no possible way he could win.
01:28:22.300 And they were wrong about this.
01:28:23.360 They're wrong about that.
01:28:23.980 So now everyone has teamed up against him and it's completely backfired, completely backfired.
01:28:32.060 Is we have to get Cheryl on.
01:28:34.860 Oh, yeah.
01:28:35.400 And, and, and, and have her on to talk about this.
01:28:38.900 Does she, does she pick up at all that the right is now doing this because the right use the same tactics.
01:28:47.180 They'll use the same tactics on us or anybody else that stood against Donald Trump.
01:28:52.800 She very, she goes on both sides.
01:28:55.160 She talks about, I mean, she goes all the way back about how the, like the left actually,
01:28:58.900 David Brock was actually a conservative hitman back in the day.
01:29:02.560 Remember Clarence Thomas when he was going for a running for Supreme court and he went after,
01:29:06.900 I think it was Anita Hill at the time.
01:29:08.860 We actually, the right were actually some of the biggest perpetrators in all of this.
01:29:12.760 So she goes back and forth, back and forth the entire time.
01:29:15.420 Well, we're not different.
01:29:16.240 That's the one thing I did learn when I was at Fox.
01:29:18.640 We're not all that different.
01:29:20.080 There are those operatives that will do whatever they have to do just to win.
01:29:24.900 And their winning looks almost identical to the other side's winning, which is, was mind boggling to me.
01:29:34.540 Thanks, Jason.

01:31:06.240 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:31:09.860 Mercury.
01:31:13.620 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:31:16.020 Oh my God.
01:31:18.320 So this.
01:31:21.360 A spat of recent articles corroborate what I've already suspected, writes Reason Magazine,
01:31:27.240 that holding elected office is the neurological equivalent of getting kicked in the head by
01:31:32.200 a donkey.
01:31:34.020 Dasher Keltner, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, found that subjects
01:31:40.040 under the influence of power acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury, becoming
01:31:45.360 more impulsive, less risk-aware, and crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people's
01:31:51.780 point of view.
01:31:52.360 In other words, power turns people into sociopaths.
01:31:59.700 Well, I suppose it could do that, but I don't think it has to do that.
01:32:05.860 I mean, I don't think that we all have to look at power like Frodo looked at the ring, do
01:32:14.420 we?
01:32:15.860 I don't think so.
01:32:17.200 I mean, I think we've seen it happen many times before, but there also have, there have
01:32:25.080 been people who are not like that in the end.
01:32:28.620 Not very many, but some.
01:32:31.920 There are some.
01:32:34.680 Are you interested in the engineering of super dogs and test tubes in China?
01:32:39.880 I love this.
01:32:40.540 This is crazy.
01:32:41.500 Have you seen this dog yet, Stu?
01:32:42.920 I saw a picture of it, yeah.
01:32:44.460 Okay.
01:32:44.680 It looked like it was Photoshopped.
01:32:46.000 If that's real, if that's real and not Photoshopped, that's unbelievable.
01:32:50.100 Uh, the dogs are being bred in test tubes to be more muscular and they wind up having
01:32:57.440 twice the muscle mass of their natural counterparts.
01:33:01.680 They're, so they're stronger, they're faster.
01:33:03.260 And the next step supposedly with the Chinese is to do this in humans and create weaponized
01:33:08.680 superhumans.
01:33:09.740 Oh, that's great.
01:33:10.820 For, uh, you know, soldiers.
01:33:12.380 Yeah.
01:33:12.840 No, that's fantastic.
01:33:14.260 Yeah.
01:33:14.420 Hitler, Hitler didn't get that done.
01:33:17.120 And, uh, if he could have just got that done.
01:33:19.240 Let's do it.
01:33:19.960 Maybe they can get it done.
01:33:21.060 Well, they have enough disposable humans, don't they?
01:33:24.000 Yes, they do.
01:33:25.500 I mean, they think they do.
01:33:26.660 Yeah.
01:33:27.620 1.4 billion people is a lot of people.
01:33:29.400 I mean, they don't care.
01:33:30.160 A lot of people.
01:33:30.680 Yeah.
01:33:30.920 They don't care.
01:33:32.880 Yeah.
01:33:33.180 That is terrifying.
01:33:34.460 I think so.
01:33:36.000 I think it is.
01:33:37.660 Uh, and if, and we see the dog.
01:33:40.340 Don't you think we're getting to the place?
01:33:41.660 The superhumans or the super dogs?
01:33:44.020 Both.
01:33:44.800 Both are terrifying.
01:33:46.060 The soldier dogs.
01:33:46.860 Yes.
01:33:47.220 Yeah, the soldier dogs would be bad enough.
01:33:50.760 The soldier people would be also very bad.
01:33:54.260 Just thinking, um, are we approaching a place to where, if you're religious at all in nature,
01:34:02.840 you're like, God won't let us pass this point?
01:34:08.440 Super dogs is the...
01:34:09.860 No, I don't think it's super dogs.
01:34:11.600 I think it's superhumans, artificial intelligence.
01:34:15.540 This is kind of the point.
01:34:16.700 They're getting into a scary place.
01:34:18.420 Yeah.
01:34:18.600 Yeah.
01:34:18.760 It's a place where you're like...
01:34:20.160 It's a place where you're like...
01:34:20.180 It's a superhuman Chinese butt.
01:34:22.320 Does anybody over in China, or does anybody in Silicon Valley, do they have children?
01:34:29.960 Do they at all worry about the future?
01:34:32.320 Like, hmm, you know, Bob, that sounds like an interesting idea, but maybe we shouldn't do that.
01:34:40.380 Does that ever...
01:34:41.280 Is that word ever spoken?
01:34:42.580 It's possible, but there also has to be the feeling that every single major technological advancement over the past 150 years was greeted by the same type of stuff.
01:34:51.940 I mean, it's all...
01:34:52.740 We're always fearful of this new stuff, and...
01:34:55.540 Yes, superintelligence is different.
01:34:58.660 Artificial intelligence is...
01:35:00.540 It's always different.
01:35:01.200 It is as unpredictable as a visit from the sky.
01:35:09.060 Somebody, you know, all of a sudden, there's spaceships around the world.
01:35:12.580 You know, ringing the earth.
01:35:14.600 Do we think that that's going to end well?
01:35:19.580 It might.
01:35:20.400 I mean, if it solves cancer, and it solves every disease, and it could go through and change the way that we don't have to, you know, spend hours and hours coming to radio shows to put food on the table.
01:35:32.320 Can you imagine the incredible advancements that could come from this?
01:35:36.580 We all pray and hope it could do things.
01:35:38.840 It could make food more plentiful.
01:35:40.120 If it could just make the TV news go away and bring me blessed sleep, I'm for it.
01:35:46.320 Because, I mean, there is a point where you look at the Matrix situation, where you're kind of just in a bath of goo in a pod somewhere, and it kind of sounds good.
01:35:53.940 I mean, you know, right now...
01:35:55.700 I wouldn't get out of it.
01:35:56.540 I wouldn't get out of it.
01:35:57.360 I'm not taking that pill.
01:35:57.980 Which pill do I need to take to get back to the pod?
01:36:00.240 That's the one I want.
01:36:01.000 Yeah, I think I'm with you.
01:36:04.200 When that movie came out, I was not with you.
01:36:06.520 No, I would be like, oh, no, I want to go into the gutters and fight.
01:36:09.240 Now, just give me the pod.
01:36:10.300 Give me the pill.
01:36:10.760 Give me the pod.
01:36:11.280 Give me the pill.
01:36:12.160 I'm totally fine.
01:36:13.200 This is the Glenn Beck Program.
01:36:20.420 Mercury.
01:36:24.280 The Glenn Beck Program.
01:36:27.660 Hello and welcome to the program.
01:36:29.400 It's from the Mercury Studios in Las Colinas, Texas, where it's about 9,000 degrees.
01:36:36.040 And we're happy to be free, but we wouldn't mind a cooling trend from time to time.
01:36:42.060 Who was it that saw a weather forecast that said we haven't had a good, hot summer streak yet?
01:36:47.780 There hasn't been a good streak yet, yes, here in North Texas.
01:36:50.740 I'm thinking June to now.
01:36:52.540 It hasn't hit 100 yet, though, has it?
01:36:54.380 Maybe once?
01:36:55.060 I think just the heat addicts, right?
01:36:56.560 I don't know that it's actually been a lot.
01:36:57.660 It's usually like 18 or 19 days during the summer, but that's coming this weekend, apparently.
01:37:02.140 Oh, good.
01:37:02.920 Yeah, don't speak too soon.
01:37:04.180 I was in California.
01:37:07.580 California just has the perfect weather.
01:37:09.600 California, why did they wreck it?
01:37:11.260 I don't know.
01:37:12.060 Why did they wreck it so?
01:37:13.840 It is so perfect.
01:37:16.680 But you could look at it this way.
01:37:18.320 If they hadn't have wrecked it, it would probably have maybe 260 million people living there.
01:37:24.620 Yeah.
01:37:25.280 If everybody could afford to live there, that's where everybody would live.
01:37:28.920 Because it's just beautiful and perfect.
01:37:31.520 And it's because of the heat and humidity that 200 million people don't live in Texas.
01:37:35.780 Yes.
01:37:36.660 I can't even imagine the state without air conditioning.
01:37:38.840 More people are moving here than any other place.
01:37:41.760 So maybe some of them are like me and enjoy the warm weather.
01:37:45.900 You enjoy this?
01:37:46.740 Oh, totally.
01:37:47.540 Do you really?
01:37:48.660 This humid?
01:37:49.360 No.
01:37:49.740 I mean, it's not the most preferred, but I would choose this over most places else in America.
01:37:55.820 Good heavens.
01:37:56.720 Oh my gosh.
01:37:57.340 No way.
01:37:57.480 I'm from the Mountain West, man, and I can't handle the humidity.
01:38:02.460 I got out of church yesterday.
01:38:03.860 The steering wheel was 7,000 degrees.
01:38:07.200 Oh my gosh.
01:38:07.820 The car.
01:38:08.440 I couldn't.
01:38:08.800 Near it.
01:38:09.780 Don't you have a...
01:38:10.820 Don't you have a...
01:38:10.840 Don't you start it for the end of service?
01:38:14.500 So the AC is running?
01:38:16.200 Oh, excuse me, Thurston Howell.
01:38:17.680 Mr. Planet Killer?
01:38:21.100 Pat is just too concerned with the environment.
01:38:23.760 I am just too environmentally aware to do something like that.
01:38:27.080 I did think about buying one of those yesterday.
01:38:29.560 I got out of church and I got in my car and I was like...
01:38:32.080 It is so odd.
01:38:35.080 Don't touch the seatbelt metal.
01:38:37.340 Oh my gosh.
01:38:38.260 I mean, your kids can really burn themselves getting into the car.
01:38:41.480 I lived in Arizona.
01:38:42.400 It is worse in cars in Arizona than it is in Texas.
01:38:46.300 It's really...
01:38:47.300 Arizona is surface of the sun hot.
01:38:51.920 When you open up your car door, forget about it.
01:38:55.120 Just forget about sitting down.
01:38:57.000 Everybody brings a towel.
01:38:58.020 You have...
01:38:58.640 Oh yeah, I like that.
01:38:59.740 Ooh, I like that one with the black interior.
01:39:03.040 Welcome to Arizona.
01:39:05.500 First summer here.
01:39:07.240 When you're in the Northeast, people buy automatic car starters because of the winter.
01:39:10.660 You get the car started.
01:39:11.540 But here, you use them in the summer.
01:39:13.600 And so, my car has one.
01:39:15.200 But it has this feature where it starts for 10 minutes and then turns itself off.
01:39:20.180 10 minutes of running air conditioning on full blast in this state is not enough.
01:39:23.920 No, it's not.
01:39:24.460 Like, you have to do it three or four times to get it to a normal human temperature to
01:39:28.600 be able to get in the car.
01:39:29.540 It's bad.
01:39:30.220 It is.
01:39:30.700 It can be really rough.
01:39:32.060 Yeah.
01:39:32.460 So, welcome to it.
01:39:33.680 I went to a double feature with the kids Saturday.
01:39:37.820 I went and I saw Spider-Man, which I loved.
01:39:40.360 It reminded me very much of almost like Michael J. Fox, Back to the Future kind of vibe.
01:39:47.020 Spider-Man, I thought he was great.
01:39:50.220 You know, there's a couple of lines in there that, you know, make it PG-13.
01:39:55.520 But I thought it was great.
01:39:58.180 I loved it.
01:39:59.100 And I did not want to see it.
01:40:01.060 I'm so sick of the reboots.
01:40:03.480 How many times have they rebooted that thing?
01:40:05.020 Yeah.
01:40:05.220 It's Sony.
01:40:05.860 They kept doing it over and over and over and over again.
01:40:07.880 This is Marvel.
01:40:09.320 So, and I expected Tony Stark, you know, I expected Robert Downey Jr., who I think is
01:40:13.580 dead inside by now.
01:40:14.820 He's like, I'm a real actor.
01:40:16.620 It's like I'm a clown at a, you know, kid's birthday party.
01:40:19.420 He says that about these movies.
01:40:20.880 Like, I was going to do one of these and now I've done it so many times and I keep saying
01:40:24.200 I'm not going to do anymore, but I keep doing them.
01:40:26.220 Yeah.
01:40:26.520 He phoned it in on Iron Man 3 or whatever that was.
01:40:29.880 No, he didn't phone this one in.
01:40:31.080 I mean, you know, it's, you know, it's not Shakespeare, but it's not bad.
01:40:36.120 There's one scene where you hear his voice and you're like, I think he literally phoned this
01:40:42.140 part here.
01:40:45.240 But I, so I was pleasantly surprised.
01:40:47.680 I thought it was, I thought it was really good.
01:40:49.240 And I, I had given up on the Spider-Man series.
01:40:51.860 I've heard really good things about it.
01:40:53.460 It's supposed to.
01:40:53.920 I liked it.
01:40:54.420 Some have said it's the best one of the series.
01:40:56.280 Oh, by far.
01:40:56.960 I think.
01:40:57.220 By far.
01:40:58.100 It's interesting because people say you escape when you go to the movies and you can tell
01:41:02.640 Glenn's opinion on the world, the more movies he sees, which is like now every single
01:41:08.420 weekend you've seen every single movie is essentially where you are.
01:41:11.900 You use the movies.
01:41:13.580 I thought about that this weekend.
01:41:14.980 I sat down for it because Rafe and I first went to Planet of the Apes.
01:41:19.000 We've been waiting for that for months and months and months.
01:41:22.960 When the, like a year ago, when it, if you had the Planet of the Apes, Rafe cheered in
01:41:27.480 the movie theater and we're like, we're going opening weekend.
01:41:32.200 And, and so he came back.
01:41:33.980 So we watched that and then we watched Spider-Man.
01:41:37.160 The girls joined us for Spider-Man and I, and I did think of that.
01:41:40.140 I thought, man, I am escaping.
01:41:42.300 That's all I'm doing.
01:41:43.400 Just escaping.
01:41:44.240 So how was Planet of the Apes?
01:41:45.420 Loved it.
01:41:46.600 Jeffy is ridiculous.
01:41:48.700 I loved it.
01:41:49.560 I told you that if you liked the other two that you would like this one.
01:41:52.020 Best of the three.
01:41:52.800 No, it's not the best of the three.
01:41:53.740 Best of the three.
01:41:55.320 Yes, it is.
01:41:55.920 Best of the three.
01:41:56.720 Isn't it sort of anti-human again though?
01:41:59.840 Oh, yeah.
01:42:00.160 Oh, yeah.
01:42:00.800 Humans are the best.
01:42:01.520 Yes, of course, yes.
01:42:03.200 Beings.
01:42:03.680 Yes, of course.
01:42:04.380 The apes are the good ones.
01:42:05.700 Get over it, yes.
01:42:06.880 I can't handle it.
01:42:08.540 I mean, that's, that's the premise of it.
01:42:09.380 That's the premise of the whole thing.
01:42:11.220 It's been that way since 1972.
01:42:14.420 I can't take it.
01:42:16.280 It's been anti-human since.
01:42:17.800 No, not in the original 68 one, maybe since 72, but the original with Charlton Heston.
01:42:24.660 Get off me, you dirty ape.
01:42:25.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought the apes were the bad guys in that one.
01:42:31.360 Well, the apes were the bad guys in the other ones too, some of them.
01:42:35.120 I mean, Caesar is, Caesar is the good one, and there are bad apes in this one as well.
01:42:42.540 It's, the deal is, they're just like people, and the people don't realize that the-
01:42:48.060 Except they're better than people.
01:42:50.440 No, they're just-
01:42:51.420 Except they won't kill each other, right?
01:42:53.540 You never kill another ape.
01:42:55.380 Uh, yeah, they do.
01:42:57.080 You're not supposed to.
01:42:57.640 Yeah, they do.
01:42:58.200 You're not supposed to, but you do.
01:42:59.440 I mean, that's Caesar's rule.
01:43:00.680 Yeah.
01:43:00.900 Ape, ape, don't kill ape.
01:43:02.240 Yeah.
01:43:03.260 I will tell you, the CGI is unbelievable.
01:43:05.740 You believe they are real.
01:43:07.480 Yeah, the motion capture.
01:43:08.560 I mean, that's circus.
01:43:09.480 How did they get those chimpanzees to talk to each other?
01:43:14.340 It's, it's phenomenal.
01:43:16.880 It's phenomenal.
01:43:19.520 I love how far CGI has come.
01:43:21.780 It's pretty amazing.
01:43:22.500 So here's the thing.
01:43:23.740 Here's the thing.
01:43:24.200 I said to Rafe, and I'm not spoiling anything.
01:43:27.020 Oh, no.
01:43:27.600 Oh, no.
01:43:28.660 Here we go.
01:43:29.540 No, no, no.
01:43:29.880 I'm not going to say anything about what's happening on the screen.
01:43:32.060 I won't.
01:43:32.660 But I said to Rafe, at some point during the movie, I said, this is the Moses story.
01:43:38.420 And he went, uh, yeah.
01:43:42.640 And I'm like, don't talk down to me.
01:43:44.460 You're not, you haven't even turned 13 yet.
01:43:46.720 Don't talk down to me.
01:43:47.560 And he said, dad, you just caught on.
01:43:51.620 And I said, uh, yeah.
01:43:53.940 When did you catch on?
01:43:54.920 He said, the first movie.
01:43:58.200 What?
01:43:59.560 I didn't look that deep on this.
01:44:00.980 Yeah.
01:44:01.460 So we're driving home and he tells me all the parallels of the Moses story.
01:44:06.980 And you'll see it in this one.
01:44:08.900 It's absolutely clearly based on the Moses story.
01:44:12.760 And of course, it's the apes who were Moses.
01:44:15.220 No doubt.
01:44:15.960 Well, Caesar.
01:44:16.460 But of course, Caesar also is his side.
01:44:19.400 I don't know if I could handle it.
01:44:21.020 His side is pierced at one point.
01:44:22.680 Did you like the other two?
01:44:22.820 So he might be Christ.
01:44:23.840 Not really.
01:44:24.500 Not really.
01:44:26.320 Oh, you didn't like the other ones?
01:44:27.400 Not really.
01:44:28.240 I mean.
01:44:28.640 I love this.
01:44:29.300 They're okay.
01:44:30.000 They were just okay.
01:44:30.980 Yeah.
01:44:31.280 I thought they were just.
01:44:32.400 I liked, I think, the first one.
01:44:34.840 And then the second one, I'm like, okay.
01:44:36.800 I get it.
01:44:37.340 I get it.
01:44:38.360 And this one, I really liked.
01:44:40.640 And Woody Harrelson is really good in it.
01:44:43.000 He plays a good psychopath, surprisingly.
01:44:47.360 He plays himself.
01:44:49.140 And Caesar says, aren't you the guy from Cheers?
01:44:53.580 That's a weird line.
01:44:54.960 I thought you said you wanted to give any of it away.
01:44:56.880 Oh, crap.
01:44:58.300 I think all of this, though, is just killing time until the release of Atomic Blonde in
01:45:02.220 theaters in only two weeks.
01:45:03.620 Thank you very much.
01:45:04.420 We are all very excited about that here.
01:45:06.480 That's going to be fun.
01:45:07.000 So have you ever seen Two Days in the Valley?
01:45:09.300 Yes.
01:45:10.040 One of my favorite movies of all time.
01:45:10.920 Oh, my gosh.
01:45:11.240 One of my favorite movies of all time.
01:45:12.900 Yeah.
01:45:13.080 It's her first.
01:45:13.820 It was her first movie.
01:45:15.540 And James Spader.
01:45:16.780 One of the first times I ever saw James Spader.
01:45:18.480 What happened to him?
01:45:18.940 Wow.
01:45:19.880 Oh, he was great in Boston Legal.
01:45:22.880 Yeah.
01:45:23.220 And then he's still doing...
01:45:24.560 Boston Legal is, what, 10 years ago?
01:45:25.380 No, he's still doing something, or was, Blacklist or...
01:45:29.640 Something big like that.
01:45:30.200 Oh, that's right.
01:45:30.820 Something big like Blacklist.
01:45:32.620 A Netflix.
01:45:33.160 Yes.
01:45:33.760 A Netflix show.
01:45:34.260 No, I think that's ABC.
01:45:35.120 That's NBC, I believe.
01:45:36.680 Oh, is it?
01:45:37.400 NBC, CB.
01:45:38.140 One of the networks, but Netflix has picked up the past episodes.
01:45:42.420 I mean, and I watch that.
01:45:43.920 It's way too dark for my taste.
01:45:45.640 Yeah, yeah.
01:45:46.000 It's a pretty big guy.
01:45:46.900 But it's...
01:45:48.460 I love him.
01:45:50.200 I think he's one of my favorite actors.
01:45:51.360 That movie is great.
01:45:52.360 I'm sure he loves you, too.
01:45:53.040 It's hilarious.
01:45:53.820 Two Days in the Valley?
01:45:54.600 Yes.
01:45:54.920 Yeah.
01:45:55.240 It's great.
01:45:56.160 What did you just say?
01:45:56.820 I'm sure he loves you, too.
01:45:58.280 I remember right there.
01:45:59.240 No doubt about that.
01:46:00.340 They talked about you on Boston Legal.
01:46:01.900 Didn't they trash you on Boston Legal in one episode?
01:46:03.660 Oh, they've trashed me on some of the greatest shows of all time.
01:46:05.840 Yeah, that's true.
01:46:06.780 I was sitting with somebody in Hollywood, and they said, have you ever been featured on
01:46:14.960 The Simpsons?
01:46:16.320 And I said, featured on The Simpsons?
01:46:19.920 Homer played me for an entire episode.
01:46:22.940 I think I've been three episodes of The Simpsons.
01:46:27.140 One full.
01:46:28.020 I think South Park, too, I think.
01:46:31.320 Yeah, what?
01:46:31.620 I think South Park, too.
01:46:32.800 Yeah, South Park.
01:46:33.180 We should get those.
01:46:34.000 I don't have it.
01:46:34.840 We should catalog all those things where they just ripped me apart.
01:46:38.200 Those were the days.
01:46:38.620 There were a lot of fun ones.
01:46:39.320 Good times.
01:46:39.840 They were.
01:46:40.220 I laughed.
01:46:40.760 Good times.
01:46:41.540 You know, Donald Trump, if they were doing, to me, the Saturday Night Live stuff, I think
01:46:49.320 that's hysterical.
01:46:50.660 I don't think there's a higher form of flattery, and the only way that you diffuse that is laugh
01:46:57.320 at it.
01:46:58.020 Donald Trump should go on Saturday Night Live with Alec Baldwin and make fun of himself
01:47:04.620 better than Alec Baldwin.
01:47:06.700 That will never happen.
01:47:07.800 It will never happen.
01:47:08.500 It's not his style.
01:47:09.040 It's not his style, but that's the way you diffuse that.
01:47:11.760 It's funny.
01:47:12.380 These things came so fast.
01:47:14.480 I remember watching a rerun of Saturday Night Live, I guess it was maybe late last year,
01:47:19.580 and it was from the time of the primary, and it started with a monologue from Ted Cruz
01:47:25.460 talking to the camera, and in it, you're mentioned in the monologue.
01:47:30.060 Glenn Beck is mentioned in the monologue.
01:47:32.000 Think about what a weird life it is that Saturday Night Live could mention my boss, the guy I'm
01:47:37.700 in the room with, every single day, and we didn't even get word of it.
01:47:40.960 Like, I didn't even know it occurred.
01:47:44.040 We went through how many months before we even discovered that it happened?
01:47:48.060 I mean, you're just learning about it right now by the look at your face.
01:47:50.000 Yeah, I mean, and that has happened so many times now, and it's a wonder, it is actually
01:47:56.180 like, I admire the stamina of Trump to be constantly offended by it.
01:48:00.600 Like, it's like, to me, sooner or later, I don't know, at some point, you do go dead
01:48:06.300 inside.
01:48:06.660 We were just talking about that Sheryl Atkinson book where she talks about what they did and
01:48:13.680 how they perfected the art of the smear on me, and Jason, who's reading the book,
01:48:19.860 said, I can't believe what you guys endured, and I think we were off the air when Stu said,
01:48:26.400 yeah, this came a point where it was every day, and we didn't even pay attention to it
01:48:29.300 anymore.
01:48:29.840 It's just, that's the way your life is.
01:48:32.120 And so it just doesn't, it really doesn't affect you, and it is pretty incredible how
01:48:40.060 it still affects Donald Trump.
01:48:42.440 Yeah, I mean, and that's why, you know, some of the people who point out that this Trump
01:48:46.560 is just doing this as part of a game.
01:48:48.700 There's some, like, from our perspective, I don't believe it from him, but I mean, from
01:48:53.180 our perspective, there is something to that.
01:48:55.340 Now, there were times, I remember reading articles from things like Media Matters and
01:48:58.760 being like, this will just be a fun break.
01:49:00.220 I don't, like, I didn't look at it as an attack anymore.
01:49:03.280 It was just like, oh, how can we use this to make the show good?
01:49:05.700 Yeah.
01:49:05.980 Like, it was really like, it wasn't, it wasn't something where it worried.
01:49:08.560 Donald Trump, if I were on Donald Trump's staff today, I would be making a how to shake
01:49:15.480 hands with Donald Trump video, and I would be making fun of CNN did a second by second
01:49:22.800 analysis of Donald Trump shaking the hands of the French president.
01:49:28.480 We're on for 26 seconds.
01:49:30.100 Yeah, we're on for 28 seconds.
01:49:31.520 It was, I'll give you, it's weird.
01:49:34.240 Um, he has this, this power handshake going on where he pulls you in and you can't get
01:49:41.340 away from him.
01:49:42.040 Yeah.
01:49:42.460 And, you know, they talked about it.
01:49:44.140 I mean, even in Hillary Clinton, um, I saw a report where she was learning the art of the
01:49:51.840 handshake of how to break it off with him.
01:49:55.040 Now, he's, he's perfected it, as you would see in this 28 seconds.
01:50:00.240 Um, but it's, I mean, that's really, that's CNN.
01:50:02.680 That's what you're down to.
01:50:04.160 You're, you're doing a literal second by second here.
01:50:07.480 Watch this move.
01:50:08.300 Watch this move.
01:50:09.100 Watch this move.
01:50:10.000 It was bizarre, but I would, if I were Trump, I'd be doing the same thing.
01:50:14.860 How to shake hands with Donald Trump and make fun of it instead of just bashing them, do
01:50:21.440 something funny.
01:50:22.540 And you totally, they become a joke.
01:50:25.860 Instead of something that is angry and everybody starts to laugh at them and there's nothing
01:50:32.380 that makes dictators or people who are high on themselves, like the media, more angry than
01:50:39.480 making a joke about them.
