Hello, America. Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:00:13.180
The White House has signaled acceptance of the Russian sanctions.
00:00:18.140
Charlie Gard, the staff at the hospital say they have now received death threats.
00:00:23.980
We're still waiting to hear the fate of Charlie Gard.
00:00:33.780
I believe a masterpiece written in a way that I have never seen any movie written before.
00:01:20.100
I had a hard time finding a movie theater that actually had any seats available this weekend.
00:01:30.260
Wow, I thought it would have been a lot more than that.
00:01:37.400
I went to the, I saw it at the movie theater that you suggested, Stu.
00:01:58.980
The, the, the, all the subwoofers are underneath the stadium seating.
00:02:04.460
So you, when a plane in Dunkirk, when a plane was going from left of screen to the right
00:02:09.220
of the screen, you felt the rumble underneath you as if the ground, it was unbelievable.
00:02:15.200
I saw it in XD and it wasn't, it's, that's not, it's not quite that good an experience.
00:02:28.760
And we're driving 30 minutes to this theater to see it.
00:02:31.620
Seeing it on XD Dolby Atmos was remarkable, remarkable.
00:02:39.020
Um, I thought for a, a movie where it was about the near death of the English army, uh, and,
00:02:58.520
It was the least gory film I think I have seen of any war.
00:03:04.140
It was almost in some ways it didn't feel like this at all, but almost like an old 1970s TV war.
00:03:17.780
I'm glad they didn't, um, you didn't need it, didn't need it at all.
00:03:20.680
It had, um, uh, personally, I didn't think there was a star to the movie.
00:03:31.020
It was cut up into, into three different, um, uh, angles.
00:03:37.460
And it's really important when you go to see this, I thought it was very ineffective.
00:03:43.440
Um, the only thing that I could criticize this movie on is Christopher Nolan in, if he
00:03:52.980
And if he changed one word or one way in one frame, he would be able to, uh, fix this problem.
00:04:00.680
What he did is at the beginning, it's showing, uh, the guy, one of the guys who is basically
00:04:08.740
This is important for you to, you will, this will help the experience.
00:04:13.240
So this is a very beginning shows the guy, um, uh, you know, on the beach and it will say
00:04:22.000
Now I didn't know what the mole is the area of the beach where they evacuated.
00:04:29.980
So they say that in the movie, you know, in the first opening minutes, but you miss it.
00:04:37.600
And if you miss what the mole is, you will be confused because the mole, it'll say the
00:04:48.800
So everything that happens on the beach is a one week time period.
00:04:52.720
Then a few minutes later, it will show something that's happening in the water.
00:04:56.880
And it says the water, the sea, oh yeah, the sea one day.
00:05:01.280
And then a few minutes later, it says the air one hour.
00:05:07.020
If you don't like me, I didn't know what the mole was.
00:05:11.740
And so when I saw the mole one week, I was trying to figure out what the mole was more than one week.
00:05:21.120
It must be that guy is the mole or is this a plot?
00:05:28.480
Then the next time it said the water, one day, I was trying to figure out the relationship
00:05:39.700
And so I missed that it is shot and edited in three different ways.
00:05:46.240
It is, and it coincides, the whole thing moves at the same time, but there are three different
00:05:53.260
One week, everything on the beach, one hour, I'm sorry, one day, everything in the water
00:06:04.520
When you understand that, my daughter Hannah was the only one that caught this, at least
00:06:13.360
And she, we got out and we were talking about it and she said, oh my gosh, dad, didn't you
00:06:17.420
recognize that you saw X, Y, and Z earlier in the film?
00:06:20.320
And I was like, yes, I did, but I didn't understand, I didn't understand why it was there and what
00:06:27.700
I couldn't, if you miss that one thing, you'll miss a lot of this movie.
00:06:32.880
With that being said, this movie is, I think, a war masterpiece.
00:06:40.040
I have never seen a movie where, the closest you can get to this is Hitchcock, where the
00:06:46.840
score, the Hans Zimmer score, Hans Zimmer was his, he was a co-writer of this film because
00:06:55.040
the language, the talking, the, what do you call it, dialogue.
00:07:02.560
And, and it's not that important because it doesn't carry the story.
00:07:07.560
There is no real story except, are they going to get off the beach?
00:07:14.400
The music starts with a ticking at the very beginning and it never stops.
00:07:33.980
I was surprised how many people never heard of Dunkirk.
00:07:39.440
I mean, what has happened to our, our education system?
00:07:49.520
How, how did we let that slip through the cracks?
00:07:53.780
How many people won't know, um, that the, that the, the important, some important dialogue.
00:08:00.700
And again, I'm not wrecking, wrecking, wrecking anything.
00:08:02.880
Some important dialogue in the movie is, is the speech of Winston Churchill.
00:08:08.340
Cause they don't give, you know, we will storm the beaches.
00:08:11.120
We will, it becomes narration at one point and you don't really, I mean, people, I'll bet
00:08:17.660
you most people won't put together, oh, that's Winston Churchill speech.
00:08:22.020
Even though it's sad, said once, but it's, you know, just the scale of those few days
00:08:31.220
When you think that the British, uh, had 68,000 casualties and the French, 290,000.
00:08:40.040
That, that would shut the United States of America down.
00:08:48.340
Especially when you look at per capita, think about that per capita.
00:08:56.880
And it was, you know, there was really some amazing things of, uh, real heroism.
00:09:02.980
And then, uh, you know, I, I happened to go with a guy who is Scottish and I said to him,
00:09:10.940
um, so he's in the, I don't know, the Royal Greeny Wigs or whatever they call them over
00:09:24.140
But, uh, uh, he said, uh, I said, how did you make that?
00:09:31.640
Does that feel like, like, I guess American history would feel to me?
00:09:38.820
And he said, it's funny because I was wondering how Americans would view this and, uh, heroism
00:09:47.320
is heroism and it doesn't matter where it's from.
00:09:54.080
There are times when, again, a movie with really no storyline and no lead characters.
00:10:00.240
And when you, at one point in the movie, and I won't say anything about it, but at one
00:10:06.040
point in the movie, nothing is said and you will start crying.
00:10:18.440
It's one of those times too, where you really can't complain about spoiler alerts because
00:10:21.780
it just admits that you don't know anything about history.
00:10:34.500
Boy, I was, I'm amazed too, uh, with them on the beach that long, Pat, it really comes
00:10:42.140
through on either divine providence or how stupid and insane Hitler was.
00:10:57.840
He could have wiped out all of the French and all of the English, and he could have
00:11:04.960
We would have been totally alone, totally alone in the war.
00:11:09.120
One of the miracles, uh, the fact that we survived that at all is because he was so convinced
00:11:14.820
Like the fact that he's arrogant, every single vibe of his, every single move, you know,
00:11:19.060
movement of his quote unquote gut he acted on for so long wound up being one of the only
00:11:24.460
ways that we escaped really much, much worse than what happened.
00:11:29.780
I mean, when you see this and you really put into perspective what you know about history,
00:11:37.880
I mean, the reason why they didn't come over and save them was because they didn't want
00:11:44.060
They knew if they go, they send their Navy over to Dunkirk and he, and he sinks them.
00:11:51.180
I mean, this, it was this event that caused Churchill to finally call and say, I want you
00:11:57.040
to know if you don't get involved now, uh, you, any boat that is left, you will see on
00:12:06.420
your shore soon and it will have a swastika on it, not the flag of great Britain.
00:12:12.640
And that's the only reason why we got involved.
00:12:18.860
Well, even then it took the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor, but we started lend lease.
00:12:23.780
You know, we, we sunk the, we sunk the British Navy.
00:12:29.180
When we won world war two, we were so world war one, we were so arrogant on the league of
00:12:38.920
For Woodrow Wilson, he said to the British, you need to scale back your Navy.
00:12:45.820
Now here's a country that has, that at that time, the sun never sets on.
00:12:53.020
So if you don't have a Navy, how are you going to defend your colonies?
00:12:58.560
So he says to Wilson and Churchill, who happens to be, I think the, the head of the Navy, Secretary
00:13:07.060
of Navy, I don't want to know what they call them over there.
00:13:10.960
Um, but he says, you got to sink half your fleet.
00:13:28.460
Don't even give them a chair at the table of the negotiations for peace.
00:13:35.160
Should have thought of that before you started a war.
00:13:40.140
And then in the 1930s, when Germany is breaking all of their treaties and they're building ships,
00:13:46.700
they're building subs, they're building planes.
00:13:49.180
The Luftwaffe is just growing beyond comprehension.
00:13:53.540
The fastest growing industrial might in the world is happening in Germany.
00:13:59.300
Germany and Churchill says, we don't have a Navy guys.
00:14:03.640
Remember the reason why they had to come to us and say, we need ships.
00:14:12.200
You need to sell us ships is because we sunk their Navy.
00:14:20.460
We're going to sink the Navy and the League of Nations will do it.
00:14:24.740
And we were so arrogant that people in Congress said, don't build ships.
00:14:30.780
No, the way to keep peace is not to have any warships.
00:14:33.820
Finally, after Dunkirk, it was FDR who said, okay, we're going to lend them and lease them to you.
00:14:43.860
And that was the beginning of us getting involved and actually saving the world.
00:14:49.700
And now this summer vacation, summer vacation is exciting for you, but it's also exciting for burglars.
00:15:01.960
I remember we grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington at 202 Warren.
00:15:07.160
It's a great house that my mother grew up in across the street from.
00:15:10.920
And she used to look at her, out of her window, and she would look at that house and say, someday, someday, I want to own that house.
00:15:25.100
And we never locked our doors except when we would go on vacation.
00:15:42.660
It has everything you need to protect your home, an arsenal of security sensors to secure each door and window.
00:15:48.280
And your SimpliSafe system comes with a panic button, a blaring extra siren, and wireless connection to authorities and to police dispatch.
00:15:56.180
With SimpliSafe, no long-term contracts, no installation costs, and no hidden fees.
00:16:05.380
This summer, see what SimpliSafe can do for your home.
00:16:07.840
Get $100 off the summer security package, which I think is like $3.99, at SimpliSafeBeck.com.
00:16:39.100
There is a horrible tragedy that happened in San Antonio this weekend.
00:16:58.480
We think that there were probably a hundred in there because some ran out as soon as they opened the doors.
00:17:08.740
And I have to tell you, the truck driver should get the death penalty.
00:17:13.680
I really believe we need to send a very strong message to people who are acting as coyotes.
00:17:24.280
If you are caught and you are transporting people like cattle and anyone dies, death penalty.
00:17:51.000
Well, that's what we're just, I mean, they showed, the footage was showing cars coming earlier and picking up some humans and driving away.
00:17:59.540
So then we had the nine now dead and the 17 or so in the hospital.
00:18:05.640
And I think they had others that they picked up that were not in the hospital.
00:18:15.240
You know, for sure more, but we just don't know how many.
00:18:27.760
And the employee saw that he was close to, you know.
00:18:47.800
That will teach him a thing or two about the taking life lightly.
00:18:56.540
Remember, though, the caring side of this argument is to let this continue.
00:19:03.180
The caring part of this argument is to allow this to continue as a process that's been going on for how many years?
00:19:09.740
Either that or to just open the border wide because they're calling this death by policy.
00:19:23.500
That's the real problem here is that we are playing the middle ground.
00:19:31.040
Either we have a border and enforce it or we don't.
00:19:37.520
This sanctuary city thing is a lure and brings lots of money into people who will do this kind of thing with an empty semi.
00:19:51.380
Are we going to incentivize those people which will lead to more death and destruction?
00:20:03.040
Personally, for the driver of this truck who knew and allowed these people to die.
00:20:29.660
First of all, Charlie Gard's parents have said that time has now run out for their child.
00:20:37.740
And they have withdrawn their request to continue to fight on for the child.
00:20:45.060
It must be that, I'm guessing, it must be that the doctors came back and said nothing.
00:21:03.260
Because of the way it was phrased, that the time has run out.
00:21:12.000
But if the doctors are saying there is no treatment and nothing that can be done,
00:21:22.140
removing a ventilator, that is a medical procedure.
00:21:30.080
That is allowing a child to die a natural death.
00:21:34.720
A ventilator is medical treatment where food and water is not.
00:21:44.840
It's probably related to a downturn in their optimism as far as this goes.
00:21:50.760
Because, I mean, they went through 11 months of this.
00:21:52.760
And the hearings were supposed to be today and tomorrow.
00:21:55.280
Like, why would you go through 11 months and then be like,
00:21:59.340
Well, probably because the hearings, the doctors probably came back and said,
00:22:04.560
Like, they may have lost the support of the doctors who believed there was hope.
00:22:12.500
The only reason why you would do it is because you would want your son to,
00:22:19.780
you would want somebody else not to have to go through what you just went through.
00:22:38.600
You know, it might be worth the extra two days to try to win that battle.
00:22:43.800
But honestly, you know, these parents have been through hell.
00:22:47.480
And just thinking of their child, if there is no hope and they're not going to starve the baby to death,
00:23:02.440
The reporting is that they're going to remove the ventilator and it will allow him to, quote, slip away.
00:23:09.540
It's hard to even put yourself in the position of these parents.
00:23:12.360
And, you know, they have done quite a bit to alert people about battles like this that do happen all around the world.
00:23:18.360
But, you know, I mean, this is obviously not the ending that you would hope for.
00:23:22.180
They said that instead that it's going to be a short hearing today and I guess it can happen anytime.
00:23:28.940
So Jared Kushner, here's some new news, confirmed four contacts with Russians during his father-in-law's presidential campaign
00:23:41.080
But he has now described the meetings as unmemorable and denied colluding with the Russian government to help Donald Trump win.
00:23:49.140
In the most consequential meeting, Kushner said he had agreed to meet with a Russian banker at the request of the Russian ambassador.
00:23:57.740
He said that nothing of substance came from the meeting and he had no reason to connect with him since.
00:24:07.780
Because he had disclosed previous meetings with, I mean, you know, unlike some other people in the administration,
00:24:17.860
But he's, but he, but we have been, we've asked this over and over and over again.
00:24:23.720
Now, every time we have to know what the meetings were, if you would have just gotten them all out and not,
00:24:30.660
hey, here's the problem, you look so guilty, I'm not saying you are, you look so guilty by saying,
00:24:42.540
Okay, the Russian ambassador did ask that I would meet with this banker over there.
00:24:49.080
Well, you were at the same time saying that you had no business dealings over there.
00:24:59.040
Was it about getting deals done for the Russians?
00:25:12.460
Yeah, I read somewhere this morning that this Kushner's statement is a perfectly plausible series of events.
00:25:18.860
It just should have been released a long time ago, which, I know, I mean, is a legitimate issue that everybody in the White House seems to have.
00:25:26.820
I mean, obviously, the Don Jr. thing is the one that pops to mind more than anything.
00:25:30.960
You know, look, I heard a congressman on, I think it was CNN earlier, talking about how, like, you know, this collusion, this idea of collusion,
00:25:41.900
It's like, well, look, we have no evidence that any collusion actually happened.
00:25:45.940
But we do absolutely have evidence from Donald Jr. releasing his own email that he wanted it to happen.
00:25:55.140
Those are all understandable things that should be parsed and are important in the investigation.
00:25:59.120
But as K.M. said, being incompetent and collusion is no excuse.
00:26:03.800
You're trying to collude and you're just bad at it.
00:26:12.160
Charles Krauthammer, for those of you not in the know.
00:26:14.480
So, you know, going to a hooker and exchanging money with a hooker who ends up being a cop.
00:26:28.220
Well, but yeah, but that's what you were coming for.
00:26:31.720
Yeah, but I didn't I didn't complete the transaction because I didn't get my part of it.
00:26:37.500
This is the argument of everybody who's been on to catch a predator.
00:26:40.800
Like, well, you didn't actually have sex with a 13 year old.
00:26:43.820
Well, but we have 500 emails of you talking about how you wanted to have sex and you went to the house to meet.
00:26:50.480
It doesn't prove that anything happened by any means.
00:26:54.400
But, you know, to call the idea that they would be interested in this absurd when the source is Donald Trump Jr.'s own emails that he released is kind of a stretch here.
00:27:10.200
And I think, you know, it very well may be nothing.
00:27:12.740
It does not help their case that it's nothing when these things start keep dripping out over a long period of time.
00:27:22.400
And it would be helpful to the president's agenda.
00:27:23.600
It would be helpful to, you know, to every principle that they're trying to advance.
00:27:31.860
It's just having the president come out and say, look, I'm not going to stand away of an investigation.
00:27:37.380
It's got to be a fair investigation, but I'm not going to stand away of an investigation.
00:27:46.020
But stop defending things that just don't look good.
00:27:50.420
You can say, look, you know the biggest mistake?
00:27:54.300
His biggest mistake is he didn't bring it to me.
00:27:58.600
But, you know, there wasn't any collusion, yada, yada, yada.
00:28:03.900
But what you can't do is say, I'm going to pardon my children while saying no crime was committed.
00:28:12.900
Why would you be looking to pardoning people if there was no crime?
00:28:18.180
Now, I understand that the, you know, the Trump camp is saying he's just looking into it so he knows his options.
00:28:25.480
But you can't say, you know, that you can pardon somebody if there was no crime.
00:28:32.420
Second of all, the idea that the left is clean on this is absurd.
00:28:42.920
Hillary Clinton, we now know, was doing exactly the same thing.
00:28:47.200
Trying to meet with the Russians to get information on Donald Trump.
00:28:51.640
Trying to meet, I mean, they were luring both of them in.
00:28:58.520
You can't shout, what was it, jailer or lock her up.
00:29:05.900
Or in this case now, saying, look at what she did.
00:29:18.080
The reason you don't vote for Hillary Clinton is because you want better than Hillary Clinton.
00:29:22.540
So therefore, you should expect more than Hillary Clinton.
00:29:25.880
And, you know, we don't know the answer to these things yet.
00:29:34.840
What does affect our life is Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan.
00:30:05.540
You get Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell out of the way.
00:30:09.920
You call every congressman and every senator you can and demand that those guys are removed or real tax cuts for all Americans.
00:30:28.880
It's really important now, too, because Schumer and the Democrats are stepping up and trying to fill this void.
00:30:33.400
But did you hear the things he was saying yesterday on, I don't know, one of those Sunday shows?
00:30:42.260
Number one, we're going to go after the drug companies.
00:30:48.760
They're going to create a special, special office.
00:30:55.520
If we could get the special door with the special, special office, we've got quite something to talk about.
00:31:01.220
That will just go after these drug companies when they raise prices so egregiously and people can't afford these drugs.
00:31:09.640
We're going to change the way companies can merge.
00:31:12.660
We have these huge companies buying up other big companies.
00:31:18.660
The old Adam Smith idea of competition, it's gone.
00:31:22.460
So people hate it when their cable bills go up there.
00:31:23.100
Oh, please don't talk to me about Adam Smith or competition.
00:31:26.460
Oh, I don't think I can take the Democrats talking about Adam Smith and competition.
00:31:30.340
Because they just cherish Adam Smith's writings oh so much.
00:31:36.560
I'm pretty sure Adam Smith was open to the idea of companies being able to do what they want, including going into business with other companies, which would be mergers.
00:31:43.960
They know that gas prices are sticky, you know, when the domestic price goes, when the price for oil goes up on the markets, it goes right up, but it never goes down.
00:31:56.900
It's under $2 a gallon now in most places in the country.
00:32:13.220
And that way, you know, inflation, we're going to go after that.
00:32:15.780
And that will help the average person lower their costs.
00:32:18.400
And finally, we're going to have tomorrow a very novel idea of how to create 10 million jobs.
00:32:23.880
There are 10 million Americans looking for good-paying jobs.
00:32:30.240
Week after week, month after month, we're going to roll out specific pieces here that are quite different than the Democratic Party you heard in the past.
00:32:37.160
If we were too cautious, we were too namby-pamby, this is sharp, bold, and will appeal to both the old Obama coalition, let's say the young lady who's just getting out of college, and the Democratic voters who deserted us for Trump.
00:32:54.080
So, in other words, this is going to appeal to not just the communists, but the socialists as well.
00:33:04.700
The ones who said, Bernie Sanders, no, I can't do Hillary, so I'll do Trump.
00:33:15.140
And they're going to get the communists as well.
00:33:22.060
And he kind of went into, too, in that interview about how it really was, they think, their fault.
00:33:26.660
They at least are taking responsibility of, like, how do we lose to someone with a 40% approval rating?
00:33:45.740
You come up with a bold tax plan, you will have all pieces of the right.
00:33:52.900
And those people in the middle and the, you know, libertarians come to the table as well.
00:34:04.640
The independents will come to the table with a bold tax plan that frees companies and frees people up and gives the average person more money back to them, gives them their money, not somebody else's money, their money back.
00:34:20.540
Yeah, you will have a bold plan and you can win.
00:34:31.360
Now this, if you're looking to buy or refi, the last thing you need is to become just another number at another mortgage company.
00:34:41.280
American Financing is there because they're salary-based mortgage consultants.
00:34:45.720
Their consultants are dedicated to help make smart mortgage decisions that align with your unique financial goals.
00:34:54.460
Straightforward, effortless mortgage experience.
00:34:58.080
If you want the right mortgage for you, you can trust the people at American Financing and they're now doing reverse mortgages.
00:35:40.880
Should we try to take the 1922 college entrance exam?
00:35:54.120
I mean, together, we are probably smarter than the average one quarter of a person.
00:36:06.460
The course, the test, I'll bet you four questions.
00:36:20.960
So I can Google it and look it up and see the answers.
00:36:35.540
I'll just change the test because there's lots of them out there.
00:36:44.920
I can process millions of things and find exactly what I'm looking for on the web just
00:36:49.360
by typing the exact address in, including the HTTP part.
00:36:53.340
Let me also take you through a lesson of what the media really is like and ask you some
00:37:03.900
tough questions about the media and ourselves when we come back.
00:37:42.200
Israel refuses to remove metal detectors from mosques despite rising violence.
00:37:56.300
It should be despite a lack of violence, despite a lack of problems.
00:38:02.260
Then maybe you talk about removing the metal detectors.
00:38:07.980
You don't take away the things that help you stop that violence.
00:38:16.780
I know I slip through a wormhole and I'm in some sort of an America that looks like the
00:38:23.140
one I grew up in, but has, come on, has absolutely nothing to do with the America that you and
00:38:36.680
I mean, at least they're not teaching our kids that two plus two equals five sometimes, if you could explain it.
00:38:47.880
We're going to bring in someplace else right now.
00:39:22.000
Just the facts on what is happening with our attorney general right now.
00:39:27.060
Donald Trump is rumored to be letting him go or he's leaving the administration
00:39:40.600
Donald Trump did not like the fact that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
00:39:46.020
He wanted an ally there and instead now has, obviously, the Mueller investigation going on.
00:39:53.500
And his belief is that if Sessions didn't recuse himself, he wouldn't be dealing with this.
00:40:00.160
Sessions, when he took the job, there wasn't this talk of Russia.
00:40:05.460
So he couldn't have said, hey, by the way, I'm out on that Russia thing.
00:40:11.840
Trump's hope in that New York Times interview was to say, look, if he wanted to recuse himself, fine.
00:40:18.440
But tell me before I hire you so I can hire somebody else.
00:40:24.680
And then, you know, today, Trump tweeted, called Sessions the beleaguered attorney general.
00:40:41.980
Which is interesting because Trump, of course, himself has said that he made the decision to not investigate the Clintons upon becoming president.
00:41:00.360
It was like, you know, like, we don't need to beat these poor people up anymore.
00:41:11.380
So the speculation is, now we're crossing the line of speculation, that the Bannon, Sessions...
00:41:20.520
Priebus group, which is one side of the sort of warring factions inside the White House...
00:41:35.380
Sessions was the first senator to endorse Donald Trump.
00:41:38.760
At the time, said to Bannon, reportedly, that he knew it was the end of his career if Trump didn't win.
00:41:49.300
And the idea was, Bannon had wanted Sessions to run for president, which Sessions turned down.
00:41:57.040
But they wanted someone to essentially work and do this nationalist, strong border, strong on crime.
00:42:02.600
This sort of nationalist philosophy that Bannon holds dear.
00:42:06.760
So to Sessions, and they wanted someone to run for president under that platform.
00:42:18.300
Or, excuse me, Bannon went to Sessions and said, look, our guy's here.
00:42:25.700
We need your support right now to make this happen and lock it in.
00:42:28.460
And Sessions, still skeptical that Trump would win, was nervous about this, but wound up going in on the promise and supported him.
00:42:36.600
And it was the day after, I believe, Christie endorsed.
00:42:40.680
And the Christie-Sessions thing really, you could argue, put them over the top with those two big endorsements at that time.
00:42:52.360
And, you know, again, we talk about loyalty a lot with Donald Trump.
00:42:56.140
And it's, you know, he talks about how loyal he is to everyone.
00:42:59.680
It's interesting in that, like, Sessions, you could argue, was the guy.
00:43:05.040
And he did get rewarded with a spot in the administration.
00:43:25.220
They're now talking about Rudy Giuliani coming in and being the head of justice.
00:43:32.580
Which, you know, Rudy Giuliani is a great prosecutor.
00:43:36.140
But is he going to be an Eric Holder kind of guy?
00:43:46.480
Or is he going to be a guy who sees justice and says we're going for justice no matter where it leads?
00:43:52.180
It's interesting in that the one differentiating part there between Giuliani and Sessions...
00:43:57.320
Because they're both known as being tough on crime.
00:44:01.720
But Sessions is known for the border stuff where Giuliani is not.
00:44:05.640
So if you're rooting for a wall, you might not like that switch so much.
00:44:09.580
Yeah, because Giuliani is much more of an open borders kind of guy.
00:44:17.200
That was one of the big complaints about him back when he was running for president.
00:44:30.200
If Sessions would be replaced by Giuliani, that'll kill Jeff Sessions.
00:44:37.220
But a lot of these people in the administration had differing viewpoints with Trump before they got in it.
00:44:42.000
And they're able to do their jobs and support his agenda, right?
00:44:51.980
Or Sessions, it's been his passion point for a long time.
00:44:55.020
So you know he's trying to do everything he can to get that done.
00:44:57.940
Or if it's not the number one priority for Giuliani, it might not be as effective.
00:45:03.460
So if Trump would fire Jeff Sessions because of the Russia thing, do you have a problem with that?
00:45:22.900
I'm trying to find out if there's any threshold of stopping.
00:45:26.260
If he fires the Attorney General because he wants him involved in the investigation.
00:45:42.620
Because I think those are stepping across lines.
00:45:52.340
Yeah, because Sessions absolutely serves at the pleasure of the President.
00:45:56.720
And isn't in the middle of an investigation against the President.
00:46:00.260
So if he wants to move on from Sessions to Giuliani, I think that's essentially his call.
00:46:09.320
But really that's totally him doing whatever he wants.
00:46:14.360
It's going to be, it'll be another beating for him.
00:46:18.760
It's a different type of, like it's not good in that like you figure he probably shouldn't
00:46:23.300
have hired the guy if he didn't want him for longer than six months.
00:46:25.860
I mean, like I read a story today that actually said,
00:46:28.180
uh, Priebus is looking like he's on his way out.
00:46:32.120
However, Priebus hopes to make it to the end of the year.
00:46:36.940
He was hoping to make it to the end of the year.
00:46:43.580
I mean, when you look at Jeff Sessions, he was loyal to Donald Trump all the way and
00:46:56.000
And you know, it's, I read something about Bannon wanting to take on Kushner early on.
00:47:07.940
You think he's going to believe you over family?
00:47:13.440
No, nobody would do that unless the family is really wrong.
00:47:21.680
Um, I mean, that's just, that's just Russian roulette that you're playing.
00:47:26.940
But, but Sessions is not, is, have you heard Sessions in the anti-Kushner clan?
00:47:36.820
And you never know from these internal circles, but that there are essentially, there's been
00:47:40.600
three groups and they say three and three B is another one, but you've got the Kushner
00:47:46.180
You've got the, which is, they call it the New York group.
00:47:49.000
The, uh, the Bannon side, which is sort of that, you know, you know, we're the Bannon
00:47:55.160
And then you have the, uh, um, the establishment Washington type people who have been there and
00:48:03.780
And then you kind of, Pence is the only one that I've ever seen separated out of those
00:48:07.160
three groups, which is kind of, he's there doing his own thing and has been very loyal
00:48:10.960
But of course we all know believes kind of different things than the president, but it supported
00:48:15.140
his agenda without fail, even behind closed doors, reportedly.
00:48:17.980
The issue with, uh, with those three groups though, is the Washington one has kind of,
00:48:23.200
I mean, you look at that group, you have previous, which kind of folded, it has folded in with
00:48:30.080
Um, so that, that group seems to have lost, uh, power and it becomes the Bannon versus the
00:48:37.040
And in that group so far, Kushner is when you imagine, I don't care who is in charge.
00:48:43.300
You imagine working in a building like the white house where you think your office
00:48:57.040
People are jockeying now where they are bringing the president, you know, tweets and things that
00:49:03.760
they think that they think he'll like, um, because they're jockeying for position and others
00:49:14.320
And that will cause more problems, blah, blah, blah.
00:49:17.140
You imagine the weasels that are at that level.
00:49:21.260
The standard way it's reported is, oh, Donald Trump is sitting around obsessing about these
00:49:25.720
television shows and something happens on Fox and friends or morning Joe.
00:49:29.200
And 10 minutes later, he's tweeting the exact same thing that may happen.
00:49:32.880
Sometimes we do know that he likes watching shows.
00:49:35.200
However, the, you know, the, the reporting from inside the white house is that there are
00:49:39.980
people who know to get on Don's good side, you bring them the good juicy stuff from the
00:49:45.720
So he, even when he doesn't see it, there are people there egging him on and they bring
00:49:50.260
the worst part of morning Joe or the worst part or the, you know, the part on Fox and
00:49:54.340
friends that has the, you know, the, whatever's going to excite him or ignite him.
00:49:59.760
So then he tweets about it, which in a way is worse because he hasn't even seen it for
00:50:03.940
And so he's kind of tweeting on someone else's word, but then he gets excited about it,
00:50:10.280
But again, from an internal, well, it doesn't sound sensible if you're trying to make the
00:50:14.320
best thing for the, for the administration, but from the inside, if, if the president is
00:50:20.080
happy with you, you're going to continue, you're, you're incentivized to continue to
00:50:28.020
I mean, really, is it, is it any different than game of Thrones?
00:50:32.880
Slightly less sex and violence, but a lot less sex and violence, but I mean, unless
00:50:36.940
it's a Clinton administration, but I mean, it's this game of Thrones.
00:50:44.600
And now this, the USCCA knows that in today's unpredictable world, self-defense is more of
00:50:51.820
And fortunately, you're not alone at the first and largest organization dedicated to protect
00:50:57.960
protecting responsible gun owners before, during, and after a self-defense incident.
00:51:05.520
You can rest assured knowing that the USCCA has your, has your back.
00:51:13.720
We prepare the minute we think, are we, should I own a gun?
00:51:19.460
You start to prepare and you prepare for that moment of being ready to be able to shoot.
00:51:30.840
We have to prepare for what happens the moment after the shooting.
00:51:38.000
God forbid any of us ever have to pull our gun, let alone use it.
00:51:51.360
That guy, he may be gone, but he's replaced with another guy.
00:51:55.940
Another bad guy, another bad guy, this bad guy comes with a suit and a briefcase and possibly
00:52:05.260
And your life for the next three years is going to be upside down.
00:52:08.260
No matter if justified or not, it's upside down.
00:52:20.180
They're giving away $1,776 for guns and ammo right now.
00:52:24.520
All five lucky winners they're going to be selecting right now.
00:52:27.800
The entry is completely free, but go there and find out how they will protect and defend you
00:52:49.320
There's a couple of things that you should be aware of.
00:52:52.580
The Swedish alt-right, the Swedish Nazis, if you will, trained in Russia.
00:53:06.680
And Russia, paramilitary people, who are training and learning how to turn the Ukraine,
00:53:14.600
are now starting to take people in from all over Europe, including these Nazis now in Sweden,
00:53:29.040
And they are now starting to blow things up in Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden.
00:53:33.520
And these Nazis had taken an asylum camp, if you will, and blown it up.
00:53:45.080
So, another reason why not to trust Russia, they are siding with all of the worst players
00:53:56.640
Pentagon is developing something with DARPA, developing technology that allows the next
00:54:01.660
generation of soldiers to fire their weapons with their mines.
00:54:05.000
They believe that mind-technology relationship that underpins the use of artificial limbs might
00:54:19.140
The mind makes a decision, good guy, bad guy, fire the gun.
00:54:24.720
Mind makes a decision, brain puts it into action, sends the signal, squeeze the trigger.
00:54:32.420
So, what they're trying to do is come up with artificial ways to read the mind and get,
00:54:42.000
fire the gun to the gun faster than your body can.
00:54:46.700
It's kind of like eliminating the check swing possibility, which seems like not necessarily
00:54:52.680
You kind of want that half split second to be able to reconsider what you're doing in those
00:54:57.400
I mean, how many times have you made a split second decision and it was wrong?
00:55:08.100
How many times have they made a decision and went, stop?
00:55:12.500
How many times has that second killed them, but that second also saved them?
00:55:18.720
I would love to see the legal proceedings afterwards when the mind fires a bullet.
00:55:27.340
It winds up turning out wrong for whatever reason.
00:55:33.660
I didn't, I thought about it, but I didn't want to actually fire at that time.
00:55:43.800
Will we at least be dead of old age before this happens?
00:55:52.020
Didn't we see where this road leads us in the documentary Robocop?
00:55:55.640
I mean, it seems pretty clear in that movie that it's problematic.
00:55:59.820
This is about a robotic police officer, correct?
00:56:04.440
I saw a preview for a new documentary called Blade Runner.
00:56:21.120
But I am going to that documentary this weekend.
00:56:33.360
I can barely remember the name or the look of that blonde.
00:56:38.160
America's United in its support of Atomic Blonde this weekend.
00:56:43.940
I mean, just from a film, I'm just interested in the film.
00:56:58.520
You have your special theater for that one as well?
00:57:04.140
It was Stu's special theater, which I mocked before I saw Dunkirk in it.
00:57:08.360
If you're around an Atmos, a Dolby Atmos 70 millimeter screen, go see Dunkirk in that.
00:57:21.840
Something tells me they're going to keep Dunkirk in those theaters this weekend and not put Atomic Blonde in them.
00:57:26.260
But that's the only reason I will not be seeing in the 70 millimeter theater this weekend.
00:58:03.800
So when does, when does, um, uh, when does, I'm sorry, uh, Blade Runner come out?
00:58:32.640
You know, I was thinking about Elton John this weekend.
00:58:38.980
He's going to be probably the first guy to die a natural death that I grew up really listening
00:58:46.740
to, being a fan of his, really being, he was my era.
00:58:51.080
Now, do you know what kind of death Elton John is going to succumb to?
00:59:00.360
But I'm not saying that he's going to die, you know, now.
00:59:03.160
But who else is there that was in your, your childhood that has been going on, you know,
00:59:21.240
Well, I mean, George Michael's kind of in that generation.
00:59:27.600
And that wasn't a regular, that wasn't a, you know, a normal death.
00:59:40.640
He'll be another guy that when he dies, you know, Harrison Ford, a guy that I grew
01:00:01.920
I don't know what it is, but I love sci-fi movies like that, but that looks like it's
01:00:20.520
It's set up to be one of the bigger box office bombs of all time.
01:00:24.080
Just 17 million this weekend, and it's going to go down a lot from there if it's bad.
01:00:28.220
And if you missed the movie review earlier of Dunkirk, uh, really, really good.
01:00:47.600
Let me give you, um, an entrance examination for the University of Illinois, 1922.
01:00:58.540
See if anyone can answer any of these five questions.
01:01:02.520
Describe the conditions causing Achilles to stop fighting.
01:01:06.360
You get shot, and then it's usually taking a step the wrong way.
01:01:21.380
What was Franklin's plan for the Union of the Colonies?
01:01:30.080
Discuss Benjamin Franklin's plan for the Union of the Colonies.
01:01:46.780
Maybe his plan came from that Indian chief that said, you know, bind them together and
01:02:06.460
I don't think any of these are right, but join or die?
01:02:11.200
What characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream are more than mere types?
01:02:22.900
I think probably the clarifying thing is Shakespeare's dumb, so don't ask me about it again.
01:02:29.080
When that's relevant to my life, I'll let you know.
01:02:31.180
Boy, you guys are going to go to the university.
01:02:33.640
Summarize the chief ideas you gained from reading one of Thackeray's essays in The English Humorist.
01:02:42.120
Point out four distinctly Poe-esque characteristics marking the raven.
01:03:11.840
Annie Holmquist wrote an article about these five questions, and she said, one might argue
01:03:22.920
that just because today's entrance exam don't ask us thorough or probing questions doesn't
01:03:27.160
mean that high school students are not familiar with a wide range of classic and historical
01:03:31.940
Unfortunately, the experience of university professors such as Alan Bloom suggests otherwise.
01:03:38.460
In 87, Bloom wrote that the decline of student reading habits first became evident in the
01:03:45.720
He notes that while there may have been a few who grazed on the classics in high school,
01:03:51.280
the notion of books as companions is foreign to them.
01:03:56.380
Lacking in this knowledge, students will also have a much narrower lens to which to view
01:04:03.700
That makes sense because there were so many other things to entertain people by then, right?
01:04:08.160
I mean, in 1920, your entertainment was a book.
01:04:12.960
Students today have nothing like the characters that Dickens gave, which sharpened our vision,
01:04:19.560
allowing us some subtlety in our distinction of human types.
01:04:23.200
Oh, they're forgetting about Valerian and the city of a thousand planets there.
01:04:29.100
It is a complex set of experiences that enables one to so simply say, he's a Scrooge.
01:04:36.160
Without literature, no such observations are possible and the fine art of comparison is lost.
01:04:44.040
The psychological obtruseness of our students is appalling because they only have pop psychology.
01:04:51.180
Because they only have pop psychology to tell them what people are like and a range of their motives.
01:04:58.360
As awareness that we owed almost exclusively to literary genius falters, people become more alike.
01:05:06.160
For want of knowing that they can be otherwise, what poor substitutes for real diversity are the wild rainbows of dyed hair and other external differences that tell the observer nothing about what is inside that matters.
01:05:37.240
Trying to get them to read something that was written a hundred years ago is, it's so slow for them.
01:05:51.400
They don't sit well through the descriptions of what the room looked like, what the people looked like.
01:06:01.160
They just want, give me the meat, give me the meat, give me the meat.
01:06:05.060
Tried to get Rafe to read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde all summer long.
01:06:12.180
Went to Barnes & Noble and picked up a comic book, a graphic novel on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
01:06:36.780
And the doctor, he's a doctor, he's an accountant and a vet.
01:06:48.640
And he sets it and he says, let my creature live for no reason.
01:07:02.640
He came back to me a couple months ago and said, dad, Frankenstein is nothing.
01:07:07.880
And I wanted to go, oh, I think I've been saying that.
01:07:22.040
We have to find ways to get our kids to look deeper and to go back into.
01:07:29.940
The Pendulet's good friend, Christopher Hitchens, who just died.
01:07:34.620
The atheist several years ago, several years ago.
01:07:38.120
But what he said was, in defense of the Bible, he said, if you want to understand the West,
01:07:47.240
if you want to understand Shakespeare, you must understand the Bible.
01:07:52.080
The Bible should be read just as literature because it is the basis of everything in the West.
01:08:07.960
He suggested that it should be the number one thing taught for literature.
01:08:14.480
Here's a guy who disagrees with every word in the Bible.
01:08:23.560
And unless you understand that stock, how do you read classics?
01:08:28.880
That's amazing coming from an avowed atheist like he was.
01:08:32.100
And if you don't understand Shakespeare, how do you really understand the West and England
01:08:38.580
and war and what the lessons are behind Macbeth and a lot of his work?
01:08:56.640
Did you see Jeffrey Katzenberg, his former DreamWorks executive, is raising $2 billion
01:09:00.960
to put Hollywood-style budgets, sets, actors, scripts, everything into new 10-minute episodes
01:09:10.740
So you think of all the money that they're putting into TV already.
01:09:13.620
They want to focus that to 10 minutes because they think people aren't watching half an hour
01:09:16.880
and an hour episodes, or they won't be as much in the future.
01:09:23.000
Well, I mean, that's what all the YouTubers are doing, right?
01:09:27.640
They create 10, 15-minute YouTube clips, post them.
01:09:34.360
In some ways, we'll be talking about this in September, and in some regards, we're moving
01:09:44.700
That the Ben Sass book we talked to him about a few weeks ago, a lot of that is about actually
01:09:53.420
Here is like, we need to go back to these times.
01:09:57.960
And it's weird because being intelligent is something that used to be reflected in questions
01:10:12.100
And really, we've, in a way, our minds, because of Google, have evolved to, that's not really
01:10:18.800
Has anybody, have you guys heard anybody say that the third planet of the apes is the story
01:10:43.640
I hope you grounded him for that disrespectful attitude.
01:10:53.000
You should have done a New Media Matters release on that.
01:11:06.920
But, you know, he would not have been able to have a different understanding of what was happening.
01:11:16.720
He would have had no comparisons to Planet of the Apes.
01:11:23.880
Instead, it became, oh my gosh, look at the pattern here.
01:11:37.620

Okay, so if you saw Dunkirk, I will not spoil anything.
01:13:25.100
And it apparently is based or closely resembles Alan Christopher.
01:13:38.700
It was very similar to this, except his tail was hit by a rear gunner of a German plane.
01:14:04.760
And when a woman from the mole, the beach, ran out to help him, stitched him back up, got him onto a boat.
01:14:12.860
When he was getting onto the boat, she heard people say, where the hell were you?
01:14:27.180
And where the hell he was was where he should have been.
01:14:36.080
And the Germans actually beat the English and the French right there on the beach.
01:15:20.300
You haven't lived until you've heard Pat's weekend.
01:15:58.540
Unfortunately, we have to figure out ourselves at the same time.
01:16:46.120
That is the only good theater experience I ever had in New York City.
01:16:50.440
Every time I went to the movies in New York City, it was bad.
01:16:56.700
There was a guy who, if he knew who I was, he put his hatred of that series over his hatred for me.
01:17:09.220
And I was sitting in the theater, and there was only one seat.
01:17:13.920
And every guy in there walked in like a zombie with their wife or their girlfriend.
01:17:28.820
And I just look over at him, and he looks over at me.
01:17:40.700
And then our wives both poked us, jabbed us, and we sat there like dutiful husbands watching it.
01:17:46.940
I don't know how you, A, got away with not seeing it for this long.
01:17:52.300
And then got roped into watching it with her all weekend.
01:18:00.440
That's a pretty big guy series for you, Pat, Greg.
01:18:06.960
She was in Utah for eight days, and her best friend is a huge Twilight fan.
01:18:14.600
And so after the first one the other night, after Twilight, we watched the whole thing.
01:18:19.520
And I keep my mouth shut because I didn't want to ruin the experience because it's a quality one.
01:18:23.140
So at the end of the movie, I stand up and say, wow, that is worse than I ever thought it could be.
01:18:41.180
And at that point, I lost all respect for my wife.
01:18:47.340
So am I to understand, Glenn Beck, that you haven't seen all of them?
01:19:07.120
I have to mow the lawn of the neighbors for the next three days.
01:19:11.300
And I guess, you know, the experience, maybe it clouds women's judgment because Taylor Lautner,
01:19:19.320
whatever his name is, is half naked the whole time.
01:19:27.880
I didn't notice a difference between the naked men and the naked women.
01:19:35.100
Naked men, naked women, they're all the same to me.
01:19:41.120
So, I am both attracted and not attracted to naked women and naked men.
01:20:13.740
You know, it could be said that we're all escaping on the weekend.
01:20:24.480
And I've done a couple weekends of double features in a row.
01:20:34.280
Everybody says, you know, there's not a lot of good movies.
01:20:40.000
You like almost everything you've seen this summer.
01:20:44.660
Well, you've seen two movies that you said were the greatest movies of all time.
01:21:15.460
I will say Pat is in a much better arguing position here.
01:21:18.860
You, my friend, were not only excited about the movies, you were telling us about the books
01:21:25.420
I thought the Twilight series was a great series of books.
01:21:30.060
You went to the theater and were excited about it.
01:21:43.340
No, I have a much more credible movie review then.
01:21:54.760
And I was like, holy mother of everything that is good and sacred.
01:22:03.980
I mean, Stephanie Meyer gets all this credit for an incredible...
01:22:15.000
First of all, vampires can't go out in the sun.
01:22:24.300
Who are you to be the end-all and be-all of vampire?
01:22:44.460
So I no longer believe you as an authority on vampirism.
01:22:51.760
I did an interview with John Ziegler from Mediate and his podcast.
01:22:59.060
I think Ziegler is one of the more honest people in the media.
01:23:09.140
And have every belief in me that at some point we'll do something that he doesn't like and he'll say that we're the worst human beings of all time.
01:23:23.620
But so I did an interview with him this weekend and I thought it was a good interview.
01:23:32.640
In my rather strange media career, I've had the chance to do interviews with some rather high profile newsmakers and some sticky situations.
01:23:39.700
While my weekend podcast discussion with conservative libertarian talk show host Glenn Beck was not the most publicized that I've ever done, it may have been the most fascinating and important.
01:23:50.040
If you care even a little bit about our dysfunctional media machinery and broken national dialogue, I urge you to listen to all 40 minutes of it.
01:23:58.440
If you do, you'll be way ahead of many of those who commented on it.
01:24:07.140
John has some really good questions, some really good answers in it.
01:24:11.540
But what I'm fascinated by is how the media portrayed this, how the headlines changed.
01:24:29.060
Or no, it was the most, it was like Beck talks to Trump.
01:24:35.820
Okay, and then the next one was Beck takes on Trump.
01:24:39.800
Then the next headline was Beck talks trash about Trump.
01:24:47.380
And if you read the comments, they don't even read or listen to the first source.
01:24:56.060
So I just wanted to show you the opposite of the headlines that you're reading, that Beck takes on Trump.
01:25:07.160
Listen to his questions and the beginnings of my answers.
01:25:12.240
How would you grade Trump after six months in comparison to what you had anticipated or feared?
01:25:17.320
Let me say this, that I think we have an extraordinary opportunity right now to get Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan out of leadership.
01:25:34.160
They can't get anything passed because what they're trying to pass has nothing to do with conservative values or the conservative movement or actually even helping people.
01:25:46.140
It seems like you didn't even mention Trump there.
01:25:50.220
Okay, is there any other examples of that, maybe?
01:25:52.600
Who or what surprised you most about how specifically the conservative media has dealt with Trump from the beginning of this odyssey until today?
01:26:03.440
I would say, in an unflattering way, I would say me.
01:26:10.340
Okay, so now you're going to skip to the next one.
01:26:21.720
Look, we have an incredible opportunity right now that I didn't see coming, and that's getting real tax reform passed if we can get Congress to move.
01:26:30.680
Then the next one is, really, let's get you to take on the right-wing media.
01:26:39.140
Because you didn't read the pain of the audience well enough for the Americans, and then he pushes you a little bit further on it.
01:26:45.220
Who or what surprised you most about the conservative media with regard to their dealing with Trump?
01:26:49.700
Wow, you're just trying to pin me down, aren't you?
01:27:00.620
Okay, so I'm just going to go with what, because I think people can make their own conclusions.
01:27:06.840
I just, I'm tired of fighting back and forth, but people can make their own conclusions.
01:27:13.960
I mean, so you've never done trash anybody there.
01:27:18.880
So here's what I wanted to pull out of this, and I was grateful to John for, A, an interesting and intelligent conversation.
01:27:33.340
You can find it in the links up at my Facebook page or at glenbeck.com.
01:27:38.700
But it was interesting and intelligent, so thanks for that.
01:27:44.680
Second, interesting how the headlines that were grabbed, many of them didn't reflect the interview.
01:27:54.320
And if they did, they were the least interesting parts of it.
01:28:13.360
Look at the comments from people under the stories.
01:28:16.880
We say we think that the media is horrible, and they report fake news, and we don't know the truth because of them, and they'll never report the truth.
01:28:32.040
Because if you're commenting on something that you haven't read, if you're commenting on something that you haven't listened to,
01:28:45.920
He writes in this, this is what I posted last night.
01:28:52.360
Anyone who's bothered to listen to the whole interview would know that this simply was not even remotely true.
01:28:57.520
In fact, I don't think Beck even directly criticized Trump even one time, despite me giving him numerous opportunities to do so.
01:29:05.880
It was clear to me that Beck was bending over backwards to give Trump every chance possible to succeed,
01:29:10.720
but while also standing on conservative principles in an effort to keep him and the movement at least somewhat honest.
01:29:18.360
In reality, one of the more extraordinary moments in the discussion came when I asked him who or what surprised him most about dot dot dot.
01:29:33.740
Then why just stick off your face in the Cheetos?
01:29:36.740
I got these people who are obsessed with that bit.
01:29:51.740
Mr. Beck seems to me like you have a choice of accepting our form of government out of love of your country
01:29:57.840
and continue to support the Constitution, blah, blah, blah.
01:30:08.000
Bull all Beck and his sidekicks do is try to criticize, uh, Trump.
01:30:12.920
Um, uh, it goes on and on and on and on and on.
01:30:18.760
They didn't even, they didn't even take the time to realize that this was a quote out of something that had happened that day
01:30:30.160
So they didn't listen to the interview and they didn't read the story.
01:30:40.640
For some people, unless you are saying that Donald Trump is the fourth member of the Godhead.
01:30:47.680
No, but I don't think that's, uh, they don't, they're not happy.
01:30:50.760
A, I don't think, I don't think it's just a, it's not just Donald Trump supporters.
01:30:59.460
We see somebody that says anything that we think we know what they're talking about because we've put this person in a box.
01:31:10.500
We automatically jump to, yeah, well, that guy.
01:31:16.160
It, it, it, we, there's no way to move forward unless we can have actual conversations.
01:31:24.960
The average person spends 10 seconds per news story.
01:31:31.160
So when you're looking at your story on Facebook or however you get your news, the blaze or glenbeck.com or whatever, the average person only spends 10 seconds per story.
01:31:44.600
How can you possibly know what that story is about?
01:31:49.240
And we're all spouting off like we know everything when in reality, all of us know nothing.
01:31:57.080
Now this, let me tell you a story about Stephanie.
01:32:00.780
Stephanie and her husband made the hard decision to take a transfer, uh, that her husband's job offered.
01:32:07.760
Well, that meant they had to leave their hometown of 24 years.
01:32:11.200
They had to leave their children and their grandchildren.
01:32:19.980
Uh, and she knew that we could help with this emotional move.
01:32:29.860
Her agent, Ashley helped to try to make this a much easier and better experience.
01:32:41.540
They're going to help you find a real estate agent in your town that actually is somebody that you want to work with.
01:32:49.920
Somebody that you have the same values, the same principles behind you.
01:32:54.660
And somebody who is going to get your home sold on time and for the most amount of money.
01:33:37.760
We have a clip of a press conference that Charlie Gard's parents just filed in London.
01:33:46.620
Charlie has been left with his illness to deteriorate devastatingly to the point of no return.
01:33:52.440
This has also never been about parents know best.
01:33:56.200
All we wanted to do was take Charlie from one world-renowned hospital to another world-renowned hospital in the attempt to save his life and to be treated by the world leader in mitochondrial disease.
01:34:08.300
We will have to live with the what-ifs which will haunt us for the rest of our lives.
01:34:14.420
Despite the way that our beautiful son has been spoken about sometimes as if he is not worthy of a chance at life.
01:34:21.200
Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly.
01:34:33.680
But his spirit will live on for eternity and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come.
01:34:42.080
We are now going to spend our last precious moment with our son Charlie.
01:34:46.180
who unfortunately won't make his first birthday in just under two weeks' time.
01:35:00.060
The case was supposed to be heard again today but the doctor said because of the delay with the court cases and everything else
01:35:08.120
that he was no longer fit for any of the procedures.
01:35:16.180
And yet he listened to the father the way he speaks of this proud hospital that doomed his son to death.
01:35:41.800
In the end, Trump will force conservatives to decide if they love the rule of law more than they hate liberals.
01:35:51.940
He said, so Eric writes, I share his lack of confidence in the outcome.
01:35:56.460
There is rapidly developing on the right a group of tribalists who think that they have all of the left and they can beat the left.
01:36:05.540
And in doing so, they'll become more and more each day just like the left.
01:36:14.120
You should get comfortable with that term because it is the buzzword of the decade on the left.
01:36:19.760
It posits that we must take into account the whole person to determine levels of power and degrees of discrimination.
01:36:26.920
So, in other words, heterosexual, Christian, white male has maximum power, minimal chances of being discriminated against.
01:36:36.060
While black transgender lesbian has near minimal power and maximum chance of being discriminated against.
01:36:44.300
The result is that any black transgender lesbian must be put in a position of power over everyone else.
01:36:52.640
And no one can second guess that person without it being their privilege talking.
01:36:58.020
It lets loose a lord of the flies atmosphere on the left, now set loose on college campuses.
01:37:06.740
A liberal in good standing can soon find herself tied to the post at an academic firing line
01:37:12.380
because she didn't recognize that though she's hermaphrodite and lesbian,
01:37:24.900
Therefore, she has way too much privilege and had no business telling the transgendered Hispanic midget not to talk in class.
01:37:33.880
On the right, those in the tribal class of beat the left are no different,
01:37:39.320
though they presently judge themselves based on fealty to Trump.
01:37:48.840
so he must be listened to and respected more than the person who was not with Trump until after South Carolina primary.
01:37:56.440
And both must be treated with greater value than the jackass traitor who only decided to loyally stick to Trump
01:38:10.580
And that is wholly reflected in their own candidate's administration.
01:38:14.340
The Trump agenda consists of nothing more than rage-tweeting against the media and political opponents,
01:38:21.920
which his supporters of the beat-the-left variety tell us has a secret meaning.
01:38:27.900
It's part of a larger plan that we're not smart enough to see, and he fights.
01:38:33.280
The alternative is that the rule of law must matter.
01:38:37.460
And I think we're rapidly moving to the point where those of us who think it does
01:38:43.700
will be more or less the monks in the monastery keeping vigil around actual truth and knowledge.
01:38:52.100
I want you to know Eric is right about this point in our history coming, intersectionalism.
01:38:58.860
We are about to hit the intersection where we now are going to have to decide whether the rule of law matters.
01:39:11.240
We've already known that principles don't matter.
01:39:20.280
Whatever it is, it doesn't matter as long as it's your side doing it.
01:39:31.940
Some of us will see the armed bandits and roving hordes tear down our doors and seek to ruin us.
01:39:38.160
But others will have to carry on until it's safe to come out and show there really is a better way.
01:39:44.280
Frankly, that's what churches in America are doing right now.
01:39:48.400
Tearing down tribal lines with the unity of Christ.
01:39:51.420
But there are too many on both sides who have joined up with the tribes.
01:39:56.060
And too many congregants, even within still sane churches, who are flirting with the tribes.
01:40:03.000
Right now, the beat the left Republicans are willing to pass a health care bill
01:40:12.100
Because the left is upset about it, they now think it's a great idea.
01:40:17.360
That they will actually fund Planned Parenthood to get it done.
01:40:22.940
They will grow government and fund Planned Parenthood because the left doesn't like the bill.
01:40:30.680
They will also coddle Russia and turn a blind eye to any abuses of power on their own side.
01:40:36.560
So long as their own side continues to beat the left.
01:40:40.420
The problem is, of course, is that history is somewhat cyclical and politics even more so.
01:40:46.220
Just as Barack Obama established the precedents to abuse executive orders that Donald Trump has now grabbed hold of,
01:40:53.900
Donald Trump is establishing precedents that Democrats will soon grab a hold of once they take the White House.
01:41:00.940
The beat the left Republicans are so committed to winning,
01:41:05.260
no matter the cost, that they have failed to see and plant their feet upon first rule of fight.
01:41:17.200
One day, we will find ourselves on the losing side with a beat the right attitude and mob.
01:41:29.360
who will marvel and behold the complete collapse of the rule of law which he can take advantage of?
01:41:36.580
If the right is going to surrender the moral high ground and adopt all tactics of the left,
01:41:42.120
they shouldn't be surprised to see the Democrat who comes to power next and what he does.
01:41:48.980
If he does what this president claimed he would do,
01:41:55.120
engage in a politically motivated prosecution of the prior administration.
01:42:07.180
As we're getting into this beat the left, beat the left, beat the left, nothing matters.
01:42:17.880
everything that you said was fair game will be fair game and embraced.
01:42:35.620
Notice Al Gore has been missing for, strangely, eight years.
01:42:41.920
Now, first year of Republicans, he's strangely back.
01:42:52.200
Why did you make the prediction at the time, and are you making a new one right now?
01:42:57.820
The premiere of an Inconvenient sequel, Truth to Power, with former Vice President Al Gore.
01:43:04.800
So, the first question I have for you was the prediction that you made in the first film
01:43:10.860
about reaching the point of no return in ten years.
01:43:17.480
why did you make the prediction at the time, and are you making a new one right now,
01:43:24.400
Well, first of all, we've seen a lot of progress since the first movie came out.
01:43:30.860
The cost of renewable energy has come down so quickly that people are switching over.
01:43:47.560
I mean, that's the first thing you need to do when you're with Al Gore,
01:43:51.920
And then, wait a minute, hold on just a second.
01:43:54.020
And then the price of renewals has come down so far that people are racing towards it?
01:44:12.980
And natural gas has massively expanded as well,
01:44:15.920
which is the only reason emissions have dropped,
01:44:18.100
is because we're using a different fossil fuel that has less emissions.
01:44:26.340
And I mean, the Paris Agreement isn't even in effect in any meaningful way.
01:44:30.600
And even if it was, and it had us in it, which it doesn't,
01:44:36.520
As all of their models show, it's just a first step to eventually get to something
01:44:43.300
So he's taking these things, which they have said are just a first step
01:44:52.940
And he's taking credit and saying that we haven't seen these doomsday predictions
01:44:58.480
come true because of these things that he has also said wouldn't make any difference now.
01:45:11.120
Unfortunately, some elements of the Earth system have crossed a point of no return.
01:45:17.800
A big chunk of the West Antarctic ice sheet, for example,
01:45:33.540
It was already causing whatever rise an ice sheet is going to cause.
01:45:38.000
It hasn't affected it at all, nor will it unless it floats to Florida at mounts.
01:45:47.600
And NASA and everyone has said that was not caused by global warming.
01:45:56.920
When the glacier starts to go out, it's pushed down.
01:46:01.200
As the glacier is pushed out over a long period of time,
01:46:05.360
they can get so heavy that they finally snap off from the rest of the glacier.
01:46:15.280
And by the way, in the articles about this particular incident,
01:46:18.640
the head researchers who discovered it all say there is no tie to global warming.
01:46:34.040
This is called calving, where it just snaps off.
01:46:39.940
And also, all of them have said it doesn't affect the sea level.
01:46:50.320
But we still have the ability to stop short of other points of no return.
01:46:56.580
And we now have the solutions available to really solve this crisis.
01:47:06.100
So, I don't know about you, but when I saw Dunkirk, I saw the...
01:47:22.740
Now, we're going to buy tickets to something else.
01:47:32.240
I wonder if we can get some sort of a free preview or something.
01:47:43.040
Maybe we should just do it because he's good for comedy.
01:47:46.780
And it's a good spend of money because he discredits the global warming thing so much.
01:47:54.760
It'd be great if we could stop and start the film.
01:48:03.560
Cannot line his pockets under any circumstances.
01:48:10.520
He wants people to go see it so he can line his pockets somehow.
01:48:16.360
Let me tell you about our sponsor this half hour.
01:48:26.800
Because a stable dollar allows the Fed to unwind their QE measures with less risk.
01:48:33.620
Remember they bought up a bunch of stuff that's not worth very much?
01:48:38.520
Remember that they also just kind of flooded the market with dollars, and they need to stop doing that?
01:48:50.580
The dollar falling down creates risk for runaway inflation.
01:49:01.180
Again, the Fed will never keep pace, which leads to a rapidly developing crisis.
01:49:14.400
It's never been done before where humans or the banks or anybody else has been able to unwind a mess like this.
01:49:22.800
It always ends in the destruction of the currency.
01:49:31.780
But this time it's going to be different, they tell us.
01:49:44.900
There is a report out now from President Reagan's budget director, David Stockman.
01:49:51.920
You can understand those and read those by getting this report for free.
01:50:04.220
Also, Goldline is extending their price protection programs.
01:50:13.980
For as little as $2,500, you'll get three months of price protection, meaning if the price of gold goes down, they make it up with more gold.
01:50:22.720
All the way up to a year for a $25,000 investment.
01:50:30.100
See if Goldline will be able to help you with this right away.
01:50:35.960
With the price protection, a year from now, you won't have lost anything.
01:50:39.660
If the price goes down, no stock is going to do that.
01:50:44.820
Make sure you read their important risk information.
01:50:46.760
Find out if buying gold or silver is right for you.
01:51:08.840
I will tell you tomorrow about the Florida family that was awakened by 15 pounds of sausage crashing through their roof.
01:51:34.540
We're going to leave you with something from Jim Carrey.
01:51:42.540
He's had a lot of problems over the last couple of years.
01:51:44.500
But listen to what he was talking about this weekend.
01:51:48.600
I really want to speak to the fact that I've had some challenges in the last couple of years myself.
01:51:55.520
And ultimately, I believe that suffering leads to salvation.
01:52:16.660
We'll see you at 5 with the Think Tank, only on The Blaze TV.
