The Glenn Beck Program - 7⧸17⧸17 - Artificial Intelligence's 'fundamental risk to civilization'

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. 0.99

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. 1.00

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 0.98

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.96

00:04:27.480 or the 6,000 women and children that are currently used as sex slaves by ISIS. 0.96

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. 0.92

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. 0.99

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. 0.98

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? 1.00

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. 0.93

00:08:35.620 China, you know, is really the model for what comes next. 0.98

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,

00:10:50.260 You're listening.

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. 1.00

00:15:34.600 Well, look,

00:15:35.420 you have sex on a camera, 1.00

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 0.78

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. 1.00

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 0.89

00:16:35.100 even if you have

00:16:35.680 after the fact.

00:16:36.140 After the fact is rape. 1.00

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. 0.64

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 0.98

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 0.88

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 0.50

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. 0.99

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 0.69

00:27:38.520 that I knew?

00:27:39.860 What happened to the America 0.69

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. 0.82

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 0.84

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, 0.72

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,

00:34:05.660 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 0.77

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? 0.99

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 0.50

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?

00:37:05.560 Wonderful world of

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 0.99

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 0.67

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.86

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. 1.00

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. 0.91

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. 0.64

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 0.98

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. 1.00

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. 0.63

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? 0.86

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 1.00

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. 0.91

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. 0.65

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

01:42:25.820 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought the apes were the bad guys in that one. 0.50

01:42:31.360 Well, the apes were the bad guys in the other ones too, some of them. 0.97

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. 0.93

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. 0.93

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... 1.00

01:45:29.640 Something big like that.

01:45:30.200 Oh, that's right.

01:45:30.820 Something big like Blacklist. 0.56

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 0.99

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.
