Transcript
00:00:30.660
The Capitol experienced a 7.1 magnitude earthquake.
00:00:40.340
rescuers are still working to dig people out from under the rubble.
00:00:47.720
240 people have been reported dead, but there will be many more.
00:00:54.340
More than 40 buildings have already collapsed, including at least two schools.
00:01:09.180
was that many Mexicans had attended memorial services earlier that morning.
00:01:17.400
because they were marking the 32nd anniversary of the 1985 earthquake that killed 10,000.
00:01:29.460
This earthquake also came less than two weeks after an 8.1 magnitude
00:01:33.520
that killed 91 people and destroyed thousands of homes.
00:01:38.140
Mexico City is one of the greatest cities, I believe, in the Western Hemisphere.
00:01:58.060
We saw neighbor helping neighbor, a community coming together.
00:02:01.860
And in the coming days, we'll see what makes America great yet again.
00:02:08.880
We will see Americans reaching deep and helping their neighbor.
00:02:13.320
Because no matter what we say, there is never a wall around our hearts.
00:02:22.560
Yesterday, what we saw in Mexico was a nation move to action
00:02:27.860
when everybody focused on what really mattered most, each other.
00:02:33.440
For two countries that are throwing the war of words back and forth with our politicians,
00:03:06.400
There's so much going on in the world that sometimes I'm overwhelmed
00:03:13.940
I try to find the stories that will make a difference, that actually matter.
00:03:19.420
And the only thing that really matters are those stories of people.
00:03:23.280
I read a letter to the American people, and it was really a plea.
00:03:30.280
But most people didn't read it, never heard it, didn't share it.
00:03:42.920
When I stretched out my arms, I could touch the two opposite walls.
00:03:53.220
The door was blocked with black garbage bags, leaving the room in total darkness.
00:03:58.300
There was rotten, worm-infested food on the floor alongside scraps of clothing covered in feces.
00:04:05.080
For a while, it felt as though I had been buried alive.
00:04:11.940
It was a year before, while I was going to speak at a news conference,
00:04:18.680
When I was interrupted by 10 or 15 undercover secret police vehicles,
00:04:23.900
a couple dozen armed agents came in and they tied my hands and covered my head with a black cloth.
00:04:29.320
I was then locked in a cell without light or any kind of ventilation.
00:04:36.160
I was denied any communication with the outside world,
00:04:38.760
and I could speak with my lawyers only when I was taken to court.
00:04:42.980
This went on for 10 days, and after then I was transferred to an administrative office inside the jail.
00:04:49.840
It was there for the next seven months I slept on a mat on the floor.
00:04:54.380
Three months ago, the prosecutor in my case closed the investigation.
00:05:00.460
He established that I wasn't guilty of any crimes.
00:05:03.240
I had faced a trumped-up charge of possession of explosives.
00:05:07.240
This meant that there are no active judicial proceedings against me.
00:05:11.680
I'm just simply being held hostage in violation of the Constitution.
00:05:16.820
Political imprisonment has been the punishment for daring to dream of a democratic society,
00:05:23.060
free of communism, and open to the global community.
00:05:27.960
We just want what so many other people around the world take for granted.
00:05:32.840
Free elections, good governance, free expression, judicial independence,
00:05:38.380
personal security, and a modicum of economic liberty.
00:05:42.280
But an armed minority has managed to impose a regime of fear and corruption and blood.
00:05:55.980
My sacrifice, and that of others like me, will change millions of lives.
00:06:01.780
Today, 93% of citizens in my country can't afford food.
00:06:07.960
Because of food shortages that are the fault of our corrupt and brutal government,
00:06:12.420
nearly three-quarters of our citizens say they have lost an average of about 17 pounds in the last few months.
00:06:19.300
I don't want to think of a father's horror when his baby dies from a fever,
00:06:25.680
or something as simple as diarrhea that could have easily been treated if he just had access to simple medicine.
00:06:48.040
I want to ask the people of the United States and the world to please stand by our side.
00:06:54.080
I have finally been moved to a cell with a bed, though one with no windows.
00:07:05.500
I'm 32, and I've been a democratic activist for 12 years.
00:07:09.840
I have two children, eight and five, who are my sun and moon.
00:07:13.640
I have a wife who I love and who now has to carry the burden of being married to a political prisoner.
00:07:19.420
I write to you from my cell in the dungeons of the Venezuelan secret police.
00:07:28.620
I will do everything in my power to keep resisting in prison.
00:07:32.700
I'll keep dreaming of going home to sleep in a clean bed surrounded by my family.
00:07:37.800
I'll keep dreaming of the day in which we all take to the streets to celebrate our freedom.
00:07:48.680
He wrote these words from his prison cell in Caracas, Venezuela,
00:07:52.560
a vivid reminder that freedom is costly, and we are foolish when we take it for granted.
00:07:59.960
Today, as we get busy and think about other things,
00:08:03.000
I would ask that you would pray for Jan and his family.
00:08:06.320
Pray for the good people of Venezuela, because they're just ahead of us.
00:08:11.000
They need a miracle, the same miracle that in the end will save us all.
00:08:31.220
A letter comes from a real political prisoner in Venezuela.
00:08:36.480
It was published as an op-ed in the New York Times.
00:08:40.400
We'll also tweet it from at World of Stew, if you want to read it.
00:08:44.400
Donald Trump gave a great speech yesterday at the United Nations.
00:08:49.560
Maybe the best part of that being that his commentary on Venezuela,
00:08:54.280
talking about how they, it's not about how socialism was implemented incorrectly.
00:09:06.360
So let me take you to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
00:09:14.240
You know, as the world is suffering with earthquakes,
00:09:18.340
while parts of our own country are bracing for a,
00:09:39.280
We're really grotesque on the things that we are complaining about
00:09:42.500
and the things that we are doing because I have a right.
00:09:47.300
The Bud family, the Bud family, um, has been spending the last couple of weeks
00:09:54.880
trying to find somebody in their neighborhood, uh, that they have dubbed the mad pooper.
00:10:01.160
Uh, Kathy Budd says, um, her kids first caught sight of this woman.
00:10:07.700
She appears to be in her mid thirties, maybe twenties, thirties.
00:10:14.420
They have a picture of her from behind, um, as she was running away.
00:10:19.720
She's a jogger and, uh, she is, uh, running and jogging around the neighborhood.
00:10:24.820
And, um, the, the, the, the, the Bud children, uh, look out the front window and scream, mom.
00:10:34.760
And here was this woman mid squat, pants down, unashamed.
00:10:38.840
And, and the kids say, mom, there's a lady taking a poop in our front yard.
00:10:49.520
And mom comes says, oh my, she, she opens up the door and she says, hey, what do you do?
00:10:58.920
Uh, she says, oh, sorry, pull your pants up and runs away.
00:11:08.240
Oh, how else are you going to respond to that question?
00:11:12.720
Um, this was the first time that somebody had caught her doing it.
00:11:17.840
Uh, she has been doing, um, uh, doing this now for the last seven weeks.
00:11:24.660
They don't know if she has just moved into the neighborhood.
00:11:31.400
Uh, uh, yesterday they caught her yesterday again.
00:11:36.040
Uh, she changed up her routine a little bit because she knew she was being watched.
00:11:41.860
Um, there, there are public restrooms, you know, it's Colorado Springs.
00:11:48.680
CVS has caught her, uh, out in their front, you know, the, the, the median there just taking
00:11:58.180
Uh, apparently you don't think it's a, you know, like a lot of people enjoy different
00:12:01.640
things, you know, different strokes for different folks.
00:12:05.520
So the, the bud family has put a, uh, a sign up in the yard that says, please, I'm begging
00:12:23.840
It needs to say, please stop pooping all humans.
00:12:39.780
They are, they are starving and people are going out.
00:12:44.340
Families are going out at night and they are hunting dogs and cats.
00:12:53.920
We're having to chase people from crapping in our front lawn.
00:13:00.260
It's, I mean, I used to go for a walk with a, we used to walk our dogs in this neighborhood.
00:13:06.900
And it's a nice little suburban neighborhood where we used to live.
00:13:09.320
And this one house, because a lot of people would walk their dogs past this house.
00:13:15.000
I guess dogs, not humans, but dogs would poop on this particular lawn.
00:13:18.420
So they decided to put up a sign and the sign said, uh, it was a, you know, a circle with
00:13:25.420
the, with the cross through it, the slash through it.
00:13:27.760
And it just, and it had a picture of a dog taking a poop.
00:13:32.240
So now instead of occasionally having a piece of poop in their front yard, they have a picture
00:13:37.380
of a dog pooping in their front yard all the time.
00:13:41.080
This does not seem like you've solved the issue.
00:13:43.980
Well, you know, I mean, I'm expecting a little dog poop and I'm expecting to catch a dog once
00:13:49.040
in a while pooping in my front yard, which I don't want.
00:13:51.500
And if you would do, if you're doing that and you're walking your dog, please pick up
00:13:56.000
Here was a quote from, I think it was a guy at CVS.
00:14:00.260
He said, I saw her now, now listen, listen to this.
00:14:07.320
And honestly, I thought she was going to pick it up after and put it in a bag, but she
00:14:26.020
No, she pulled her pants down and took a crap in the middle of the street, man.
00:14:31.000
You know, I know there's there, there are people and we have to get into this later today.
00:14:44.060
There are people that believe that September 23rd, maybe the day of the rapture.
00:14:48.100
I'd like to remind you that no man knows, but, and I'm, I'm, I'm not all down with the
00:14:55.560
Unfortunately, gosh, I hope, I hope I'm not wrong on that.
00:15:02.820
Anyway, the September 23rd, people are saying, this is it.
00:15:08.420
This is, this is the signs in the heavens and everything.
00:15:12.900
I don't think it is, but I will tell you this, you know, I'm going to look for the sign of
00:15:20.580
people pooping in your front yard as, you know, maybe men's hearts failed them.
00:15:25.660
Maybe, you know, women's sphincter muscles fail them and they just have to do that.
00:15:31.080
I'm not sure, but I will tell you this with the earthquake and the hurricanes, if you haven't
00:15:37.400
gotten the idea that your life could change in a heartbeat and it's wise to be prepared
00:15:47.040
I don't know what it's going to take to get this message.
00:15:49.660
You can't prepare for everything, but there are a few things that you can do when it comes
00:15:58.000
And that is you're going to need to have food, whether it's for you or somebody else, maybe
00:16:02.120
somebody in your neighborhood, somebody in your town, somebody in your state.
00:16:05.340
Actually having an emergency food supply is a lifesaver.
00:16:10.080
Ask our friends in Houston and in Florida, ask, ask people in Mexico.
00:16:16.940
Boy, you know, there's no food on the shelves in Mexico for probably a couple of days, at
00:16:24.180
least my Patriot supply has food storage for you.
00:16:28.220
Get their 70 serving survival food kit for only $67 healthy food that lasts up to 25 years.
00:16:34.880
For less than a dollar per serving, you'll get breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:16:42.060
I can guarantee you, you're not running to the store.

00:17:23.320
Donald Trump has just declared Puerto Rico a disaster area, and they are now saying that
00:17:33.220
Puerto Rico may be uninhabitable for weeks, if not months, after this.
00:17:43.620
I mean, I can see why people are saying September 23rd is, you know, maybe.
00:17:47.180
I mean, as I pointed out yesterday, you know, the book of Revelation is not going to be as scary as if this is, if this is the, you know, these are the signs.
00:18:00.440
I mean, yeah, it's bad, but it's not what I thought the book of Revelations bad would be, right?
00:18:06.500
So, I mean, it's kind of like if people have disappeared on, you know, Saturday on the 23rd in the rapture, you'd be like, okay, well, I mean, maybe the rest of it's not going to be as bad.
00:18:21.700
Maybe it's like one of those movies that everybody said, oh, no, it's the greatest.
00:18:24.520
And you went there and you're like, you wrecked it because it was good, but you built it up to too far.
00:18:30.040
I believe yesterday on the show, though, you said, well, you know, the only thing we're missing is earthquakes.
00:18:34.960
And then, so I think you should shut up is what I think.
00:18:45.900
The Mexican earthquake is just, have you ever been in Mexico City?
00:18:53.520
It is truly one of the greatest cities, I think, in the world.
00:19:00.860
I don't even know how many millions of people, 25 million people.
00:19:08.000
When you think of Mexico, you're just like, I don't know, it's the beach or whatever.
00:19:20.820
The parks and the streets and everything are just so clean.
00:19:27.160
8.85 million in the actual city, in the greater area, 21.3 million.
00:19:35.560
They're like, oh, well, there's a couple hundred people are dead and we expect that number to rise.
00:19:42.200
Do you remember, I don't know if you're old enough to remember, 1985.
00:19:45.560
Because the anniversary of that Mexico City earthquake that killed 10,000 people.
00:20:07.720
And, you know, like, no cities can handle stuff like this.
00:20:11.880
You know, the further you get into the poorer areas, the worse it gets.
00:20:15.760
And we're going to see that with the hurricane now, too.
00:20:32.260
With everything going on in the world, there are a few things that will actually change your life that we should pay attention to.
00:20:41.080
This is the Republicans, what some are saying, the last shot of getting anything done on a repeal and replace Obamacare.
00:20:48.900
It is starting to shape up, and it looks like it has a chance of passage.
00:21:06.040
Now, Vox from the left says, I've covered the GOP repeal plan since day one.
00:21:18.400
It's basically, if you want a real quick summary, it's basically a federalist version of Obamacare.
00:21:27.700
Which means a state version of Obamacare, which is exactly what we were arguing for.
00:21:34.940
If Massachusetts wants to do Obamacare, they could do it.
00:21:39.480
If Texas says, no, there's a better way, let Texas do it.
00:21:44.300
So, that would have been okay back then, but that's not what this is now.
00:21:51.380
So, all the money from Obamacare, largely, still goes to the federal government.
00:21:56.180
And then it is distributed through block grants to the states to do what they want with.
00:22:00.320
So, you would have a situation where your conservative state would probably do a much better job with this, if you're a conservative, where a liberal state can do all the liberal things that they want.
00:22:08.200
And what they're doing is they're taking the states, all the money that's going to the states now, and dividing it up, what I would argue, is more equitably.
00:22:16.480
Like, right now, if you have $100 in Obamacare money, that's split up between California and Texas.
00:22:21.240
Right now, it's, let's say, $75 go to California, $25 go to Texas.
00:22:26.040
What they're going to do is split that up and make it 50-50.
00:22:29.000
It's a really generic way of explaining what it is.
00:22:35.960
Yeah, it's, again, I think this is another situation where it's better than Obamacare.
00:22:41.360
You will be able to get rid of the individual mandate.
00:22:48.340
If a state wants to do it, the state can do whatever it wants.
00:22:50.600
I personally think it's unconstitutional, as I know you do, at least from the federal side.
00:22:55.520
It's much better the smaller government you get to.
00:22:58.540
Now, the reason why this is in such a rush is because the Republicans have 10 days to do this.
00:23:04.160
The reconciliation process, which basically means you only have to get 51 votes instead of 60,
00:23:09.300
that expires on September 30th by rule because you can only do it once per fiscal year.
00:23:14.480
So they have to get it done by September 30th, which means that the House won't be able to change it.
00:23:25.560
So if this happens, they were going to use reconciliation in 2018 for the tax bill.
00:23:32.120
That's why they need to get this done in the next 10 days.
00:23:41.700
All 41 senators have voted for all the Republican Obamacare repeals.
00:23:56.480
Lamar Alexander, Shelley Moore Capito, Bob Corker, Tom Cotton, and Rob Portman, which all have very similar names.
00:24:07.520
You probably are definitely not going to get Susan Collins.
00:24:11.800
You're probably definitely not going to get Lisa Murkowski, though that's not determined yet.
00:24:15.700
You need to get all four of these in this scenario, which would be Mike Lee, who has not said anything about it yet.
00:24:25.180
Jerry Moran, who is probably a yes, although he's complained about the Medicaid cuts, which aren't really cuts, but it's a whole other story.
00:24:33.280
John McCain, who has voted against these things.
00:24:35.700
However, his buddy, Lindsey Graham, is the guy behind this one.
00:24:46.320
And then Rand Paul, who has said flat out he's a no on it.
00:24:50.200
But if he's the determining vote between this thing passing and not, will he hang with that?
00:24:56.840
I think there's a small chance of this passing.
00:24:58.980
There's a better chance of this passing than what we remember them doing with skinny repeal.
00:25:03.880
Because that would have had they've had to negotiate between the House and the Senate and it never would have gone anywhere.
00:25:11.880
Well, there's there's a lot of bad things in it.
00:25:16.720
Obamacare in California could actually go further to the left.
00:25:19.840
If you're someone who lives in a liberal state, you could actually get hit to the left and go further left of Obamacare.
00:25:26.080
There are people who are arguing that this actually paves the way for single payer.
00:25:31.700
Because what can happen here, some say it's a Trojan horse, but it's right.
00:25:36.420
So a state like California could take this money and institute single payer.
00:25:40.260
They'd have to obviously add some more tax dollars on their side to pay for it.
00:25:43.540
But they could get the federal government to pay for, let's say, three quarters of single payer.
00:25:47.240
So they pay they make single payer in California and they just they just go for it and go all out.
00:25:51.980
I have to tell you, if 10 states do that, you've paved the way.
00:25:54.860
I have to tell you, as long as this isn't the world we live in.
00:25:57.920
I don't care if if California goes completely flat broke, as long as we make it very clear, we're not bailing your ass out.
00:26:16.740
If if we could find a single payer system that actually worked, which I don't think is is possible.
00:26:31.480
Now, if you can do an experiment in your state and you're not going to drag me down with you, go for it.
00:26:41.220
Yeah, of course, that's how it winds up going every time you wind up bailing them out anyway.
00:26:46.720
We're going to see that with pensions, which is another thing we should get to at some point.
00:26:55.020
Remember this with they talked about this and, you know, they've denied, well, there's not really a deal.
00:26:58.840
But that whole deal, one of the big arguments for it from Donald Trump's side was to say that you're going to get help now from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
00:27:08.180
When it comes to legislation like tax reform or Obamacare.
00:27:14.360
Listen to this quote from Chuck Schumer when Graham Cassidy comes out, a proposal that the president strongly supports.
00:27:20.480
After a few weeks of lying dormant, Trumpcare is back and it's meaner than ever.
00:27:26.380
While its latest version of Trumpcare may live under a new name, no matter how many ways Republicans try to dress it up, this bill is even more dangerous than his predecessors.
00:27:34.560
Even after dealing with this guy, he not only came out strongly against the proposal, which you can understand, he shouldn't change his principles, right?
00:27:46.500
He took one of Trump's old quotes, calling it mean, to vilify him even further and called it even more dangerous than all of the predecessors.
00:27:59.820
They never, ever, ever will honor what they've said.
00:28:04.780
17-year-old kid and his girlfriend of eight months have made the news for something that I think that all of us have gone through.
00:28:35.120
So Destiny and her boyfriend, Kitacone, live here in Dallas.
00:28:45.380
And they were friends and then they started dating.
00:28:51.320
And she had texted him saying that she was hungry.
00:28:56.080
And he said, I'll pick you up later and we'll grab a bite together.
00:28:59.820
So they, he picks her up and right after school.
00:29:08.760
And she said, oh, I just, I just, I'd kill for a burger.
00:29:11.640
Now, he had this, this sinking feeling that I think all of us have had.
00:29:26.160
And you don't want to, you don't want to look like you're, you know, you have no money, but you have no money.
00:29:33.520
And so he says, he knows that she likes this burger at Chili's.
00:29:46.220
And he says, no, I've, I've, I've already eaten.
00:29:55.560
So she eats, she offers him a bite all the way through.
00:30:04.540
He just didn't have enough money for him to eat.
00:30:11.220
And he would eat, you know, at home with his box of macaroni and cheese or whatever he chose, because that's what I used to choose because they were 23 cents a box.
00:30:20.760
This is something that we have, I think every guy has done.
00:30:28.160
And if you're going to spend 23 cents, it should be unpowdered cheese.
00:30:34.640
I, you know, if you spend 23 dollars, it might as well be on powdered cheese.
00:30:38.560
But anyway, so, so, so here's, here's why this is in the news.
00:30:44.600
They've been dating now for eight months and I don't know.
00:30:48.480
He tweets her, Facebooks her and says, you know, that first date, I was actually starving.
00:30:57.180
We could have, I mean, we, we could have just gone to the store and just grabbed something cheap and I would have made sandwiches.
00:31:04.080
And he said, no, I wanted you to, I wanted you to eat.
00:31:10.100
Now, this is something that I think every guy has done on a date.
00:31:14.320
Every, every parent has even done this with your children.
00:31:18.060
Your children are out and you're doing something or you're, you are making food at home and you're giving them the best.
00:31:25.080
And you're, and you're like, nope, I'm not hungry.
00:31:37.920
And my question is, has chivalry died to the point to where this is something that people are reading going, wow, look at that guy.
00:31:50.780
That now BuzzFeed's actually writing national news stories about it.
00:31:55.320
Is it possible that we live in such a place now that the majority of the people, at least writing, have never been in that position themselves?
00:32:12.740
Because this is the way America has always been.
00:32:18.360
This is the way, this is what you're supposed to do.
00:32:25.320
I don't know if you have checked to find your name at Equifax to see that that breach that they had at Equifax.
00:32:39.540
If that has affected you, 143 million Americans are affected by it.
00:32:45.720
The organization that determined credit card numbers and to see if your credit was good, if they were watching over your credit.
00:33:02.560
143 million Americans, 200,000 consumers with their personal data, the social security number, and their credit card number was accessed.
00:33:13.340
So once it's out, first of all, if all of that information was stolen for 143 million Americans, that's half of us, that information was stolen, it's out, and there's no putting that genie back in the bottle.
00:33:29.980
Now, if you haven't been hacked yet, if your identity hasn't been taken yet, it will.
00:33:37.720
Somebody's identity is stolen every two seconds.
00:33:42.340
LifeLock will go through and look at a wide range of identity threats.
00:33:47.040
They don't just look at your credit score like Equifax.
00:33:52.680
And if there is a problem, there's somebody here in the U.S., a U.S.-based identity restoration specialist that's going to work to fix it.
00:33:59.080
Now, as we can see, nobody can prevent all identity theft, monitor all transactions at all businesses.
00:34:06.280
But LifeLock can see more of the threats than anyone else.
00:34:10.580
They can see more of the threats to your identity.
00:34:14.000
And they alert you, and they step in to help fix it right away.
00:34:45.760
I don't know if you even remember in September, September 26, 1983.
00:34:54.360
This is really at the height of the Cold War with the Soviets and the United States.
00:35:00.140
And we were, you know, calling Moscow the evil empire.
00:35:04.820
And I remember working in Washington, D.C. and thinking after they shut down the Soviet, the Soviets shut down the Korean airliner.
00:35:17.420
On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov was sitting in his office and he received a message that told him that five nuclear missiles had been launched from the United States and were on their way.
00:35:34.660
And they had about 20 minutes to launch a counterattack.
00:35:40.120
Everything, everything on his screen said launch now.
00:35:44.900
All he had to do was pick up the phone and say launch.
00:35:54.540
He said, I sat there for a few minutes staring at this big back, backlit red screen with the words launch on it.
00:36:03.740
He said everything had everything I had showed me the United States was attacking us.
00:36:09.540
If I would have picked up the phone, we would have launched.
00:36:17.860
He said we had been trained to obey, not to think.
00:36:23.860
He said, but there was no rule saying how long we were allowed to think before we reported the strike.
00:36:31.240
He said, I knew that every second that was passing was taking up valuable time.
00:36:42.720
He said, I felt like I was sitting on a hot frying pan and I just couldn't move.
00:36:50.540
Luckily, luckily, it didn't feel right to him to launch and he didn't.
00:36:58.060
But the world is probably vastly different because he waited.
00:37:04.760
It was a bug in the system and he thought, this is a new system.
00:37:11.000
And he didn't give the order to launch and save the world.
00:37:15.740
The reason why I bring this story up is because he just passed away at 77.
00:37:51.180
So something happened that was, I thought, terrifying during President Trump's speech at the U.N. yesterday.
00:38:02.520
The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented,
00:38:08.880
but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.
00:38:15.200
So he waited for a second, but they just stared at him.
00:38:24.880
Yesterday, he was waiting for the assembly to stand up or to applaud at that line,
00:38:30.760
but it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
00:38:35.240
75% of the U.N. probably believes wholeheartedly that socialism is the answer.
00:38:43.820
But when a state makes the decision in everything in your life, it's never good.
00:38:59.020
Sean Penn, Oliver Stone, Naomi Campbell, Michael Moore, Bernie Sanders, all of them.
00:39:03.900
In fact, on Bernie Sanders' own website, he claims that if the American dream would be more apt to be realized in Venezuela
00:39:19.920
I think probably because it was a country that had so much promise.
00:39:26.520
And then when they went and started to really fully embrace socialism entirely, none of us ever lived there.
00:39:43.760
Basic goods like toilet paper are severely rationed.
00:39:48.520
The nation with the largest oil reserves in the world has to import oil and has oil and gasoline shortages.
00:39:57.520
What's really so heartbreaking, the people are struggling for food every single day.
00:40:07.380
At night, many citizens go on the prowl to hunt for rats, cats, or dogs.
00:40:14.360
This is what progressives across the world call a paradise.
00:40:24.200
The lack of food is, believe it or not, a sign of success.
00:40:30.720
Sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food.
00:40:37.260
In other countries, people don't line up for food.
00:40:39.300
The rich get the food and the poor starve to death.
00:40:43.400
Ask a Venezuelan what it's like to deal with food rationing.
00:40:46.500
What is it like to stand in line for food, to get turned away, and then have to go dig through the trash in a last-ditch effort to feed your family?
00:40:54.700
Ask them what it's like to watch their leaders rip up the Constitution and seize even more power and more control.
00:41:03.820
In the end, I don't care if it's the Nazis or the communists.
00:41:19.560
In the end, that is what the progressive, socialist, left and right agenda is always all about.
00:41:39.740
We're changing as a people, and I just want to drop a pin in the map.
00:41:45.040
And I just want to say we're going over a cliff.
00:41:47.960
And as I learned from one of the righteous among the nations in Poland a few years ago, and I've shared many times, the righteous didn't suddenly become righteous.
00:41:57.780
They just refused to go over the cliff with everyone else.
00:42:03.220
There's a new survey out, and we'll talk about it later, about how so many college students are now saying freedom of speech is not that important.
00:42:20.860
In 1923, there was a survey of parents of disabled children.
00:42:27.240
Would you agree definitely to a painless shortcut of your child's life after it's determined by experts that it is incurably stupid?
00:42:37.540
The results of this survey, this study, were published in 1925.
00:42:46.360
73% of those adults who had children said they were willing to have their children killed if they weren't told about it.
00:42:59.720
Well, what do you think happened in Germany after these kinds of polls started to come out?
00:43:12.180
The stat comes from an amazing op-ed in the New York Times called The Nazis' First Victims Were Disabled.
00:43:18.920
He's the author of not only that op-ed, but also the book In the Province of the Gods.
00:43:25.240
So, Kenny, first of all, you were born without bones in your legs?
00:43:33.200
I was born in 1960, missing fibula in my legs, and spent the first four weeks of my life in an incubator.
00:43:42.520
People didn't know whether I would be able to walk.
00:43:45.840
Some thought I shouldn't be, you know, allowed to live, but luckily my parents weren't amongst them.
00:43:52.440
So, yeah, and then lived a pretty, you know, normal life.
00:43:56.960
I was one of the first kids to be schooled in the mainstream school in Brooklyn, New York in the 1960s.
00:44:04.600
And, you know, went to college, and after college I started to write about my disability experience,
00:44:09.880
which then, you know, much later in 2002 brought me to Japan.
00:44:15.020
I wanted to look at what another country, a culture very different from our own, looked at how they looked at disability.
00:44:22.700
So I went to Japan, and the result was my new book, In the Province of the Gods.
00:44:28.700
And I learned some interesting things there, Glenn.
00:44:31.000
I mean, I was very surprised when I went to Japan that I was treated more as a foreigner, which I was, than I was as a disabled person.
00:44:38.800
Whereas in my own country, in the United States, I was always looked at as different because I was disabled.
00:44:45.020
So I kind of felt like a foreigner in my own country.
00:44:48.400
And I also found out a lot about how central, you know, central disability was to Japanese culture, you know, historically,
00:44:58.500
at the same time where it was looked at as something shameful.
00:45:01.260
And you talk about, you know, what happened in Germany.
00:45:04.200
There was a story that happened in Yokohama, Japan, in the early 1970s, where a mother had a child with cerebral palsy,
00:45:17.620
And in true Japanese fashion, you know, the husband was away a lot, and she was very overburdened by having the child,
00:45:25.720
And though she was, you know, charged with murder and found guilty, the outcry was so great that people felt so sorry for her
00:45:37.700
that she really got off without any punishment for killing her own child.
00:45:46.820
Kenny, there was a story that came out in a couple of weeks ago, I think, about Reykjavik,
00:45:54.340
how Reykjavik is becoming a country that will, and it was celebrated, this first city or country now that will be Down syndrome free,
00:46:06.520
because they're doing early testing, and most people are aborting these children before they're born.
00:46:13.880
So Reykjavik now is Down syndrome free birth, and I found that article really disturbing.
00:46:22.360
As a dad of a child of special needs, my daughter has cerebral palsy, I wouldn't wish this for my child.
00:46:32.620
However, her life has real meaning and real purpose, and I don't understand, we're crossing some spooky lines.
00:46:46.440
Yep, we are, and we can't forget that, you know, and as I pointed out in my New York Times article,
00:46:53.440
that the history in our own country, in the United States, is not free of these things.
00:46:59.040
Back in 1927, in the Buck v. Bell decision, you know, Oliver Wendell Holmes said three generations of imbeciles was enough,
00:47:07.140
and it was constitutional to sterilize, you know, disabled people.
00:47:13.480
So that, you know, one thing, in our own culture, we used to have what they call the ugly laws,
00:47:18.700
where you were prohibited from being in public if you were disabled, if you looked different, if you looked, you know, deformed.
00:47:26.020
And the last of those laws wasn't rescinded until 1974, Glenn.
00:47:32.720
Was that one, because I had never heard, I've never heard of the ugly law.
00:47:35.920
I mean, I know about the Human Betterment Society, and I know all about the nastiness of what we've done with eugenics.
00:47:43.980
I think we were, in some ways, we taught the Germans an awful lot.
00:47:48.100
But when it comes to, when it comes to the ugly laws, was that one of those laws that just happened to still be on the books?
00:47:55.880
Like, you know, you can't tie your horse up at the supermarket, and it just wasn't removed?
00:48:01.160
They started being passed in the 1860s, 1870s, in various cities across the country.
00:48:08.060
Some states tried to pass them, and they weren't as successful as cities.
00:48:12.420
So there were basically local ordinances that just basically said you can't...
00:48:18.320
There's also a case in Germany that happened a couple of decades ago called the Frankfurt Judgment,
00:48:25.640
where people went on a holiday, you know, they booked a holiday,
00:48:30.380
and they encountered disabled people on their holiday,
00:48:33.800
and they asked to be reimbursed by their travel agent,
00:48:41.240
you know, because they happened upon these disabled people.
00:48:49.200
So these feelings about disability are prevalent in a lot of cultures.
00:48:57.760
So can we have an adult conversation here, Kenny?
00:49:00.160
And this is not popular to do, and it will be taken, you know, and chopped up.
00:49:06.300
But we have to have real conversations because we're dealing with really scary stuff.
00:49:14.400
As we're looking at health care, the argument is about we just can't let people die, etc., etc.
00:49:25.060
But when a state is in control, there's too many examples of it just comes down to the money.
00:49:37.400
And if you can't opt out of that, you know, and the state says,
00:49:44.240
I got to give this money to somebody else who has a better quality of life
00:49:49.760
And it becomes this horror show versus, well, these people can't afford any health care,
00:49:57.360
and so they're just going to die, which is also awful.
00:50:04.200
In my mind, I would rather have the chance to opt out or opt in
00:50:09.960
than being stuck in a system where whatever they call and say,
00:50:16.460
Well, I mean, you know, to go back to Japan, I mean, you know, in Japan,
00:50:25.020
I don't know if you know the movie Ballad of Narayama,
00:50:28.040
where they basically take these small villages in Japan a while back.
00:50:33.320
They would take their elderly when they were old to just go to the mountain
00:50:40.300
which I don't think is a good thing to do either.
00:50:48.660
Yeah, but the problem, Glenn, is that you, in a society that disvalues disability,
00:50:55.120
that misunderstands disability, that fears disability,
00:51:03.180
If, you know, people say that if somebody, you know,
00:51:06.540
when I get dementia, if I get Alzheimer's, I don't want to live like that.
00:51:15.100
They're reacting to a fear about the body changing.
00:51:19.160
And if the disability experience teaches anything,
00:51:21.320
it is about the fact that that's what our life is.
00:51:26.880
You know, I talk about this in The Province of the Gods
00:51:34.040
that we're all, you know, not going to be here after a while.
00:51:36.680
So it's this fear that I think gets in the way of making a decision
00:51:42.960
of what one would want to do if one was, you know,
00:51:45.880
severely disabled, you know, Alzheimer's, whatever it is.
00:51:50.040
And I don't think you can make a rational choice
00:51:53.580
in a society that disvalues disability and disabled lives.
00:52:05.860
What you're saying, Kenny, is going counterculture.
00:52:26.040
that is wanting to make the decisions for people
00:53:10.660
with an anthology called Staring Back that I edited.
00:54:56.500
and to have this continuing conversation with you.
00:55:00.700
It's one I think we desperately need as a society.
00:55:18.600
I don't want my health insurance premiums to be higher
00:55:21.080
so that infants who can experience zero quality of life
00:55:45.700
They even offer a Liberty Safe for as low as $20 a month.
00:55:49.380
I've been working with Liberty now for seven years
00:55:59.980
It had your safes installed right now in your home
00:56:13.280
They're the home of the best built safes on the planet.
00:57:13.000
You might be about to find out what you would do.
00:57:22.780
that Keith Ellison has compared our government,
00:57:33.800
he has said that those who came here illegally,
00:57:41.660
are akin to the Jews that died in gas chambers.
00:57:58.200
There is a hurricane that is now wiping off the face of the earth.
00:58:03.380
They say that it's going to be uninhabitable for weeks,
00:58:21.480
there's a lot of people that believe that this is talked about in the book of Revelation.
00:58:34.440
And there are a lot of people that are believing,
00:58:37.440
but there are a lot of people believing that that is in the book of Revelation.
00:58:46.960
because you're probably not going to have to make the payment.
00:58:56.540
where's this deadbeat that promised us the $9.99 a month?
00:59:12.060
they do interviews with all these people who started these amazing businesses,
00:59:41.260
because we're going to come back to the wording you just used there.
00:59:43.660
This is Jen Hyman talking about how she was coming up,
00:59:48.100
how she's developing the idea for this business.
00:59:50.800
I had this thesis that we had entered the experience economy,
00:59:57.860
and starting to value experiences like travel over owning things.
01:00:03.400
And so I had an idea at the time to launch the first honeymoon registry in the world,
01:00:10.120
where couples could register for their honeymoons,
01:00:14.260
and their friends and family could contribute by,
01:00:32.860
and I pitched him on this idea to start a wedding business.
01:00:48.140
she's going to explain kind of what it is here.
01:00:54.460
it says something so profound about where we are as a society.
01:01:38.300
because I realized I was having a conversation with my sister
01:01:41.760
about the experience of wearing an amazing dress,
01:01:58.540
was the photograph that would exist after the party
01:02:48.680
If I could ever think like this in these moments...
01:02:55.140
essentially she solved the problem her sister had
01:03:33.260
they are now the largest dry cleaner in America.
01:04:07.320
when you thought of sexual harassment towards women.
01:04:18.220
And I thought this was a really interesting lesson
01:05:11.120
I can't tell you how I was introduced to people,
01:32:00.380
survivors have been rescued and 260 monsters are
01:32:05.380
behind bars slavery must stop now if you haven't
01:32:11.920

01:34:00.400
uh people in puerto rico they are they are being devastated right
01:34:06.300
now uh the category four it has washed up on shore it started earlier
01:34:11.340
today um the president has declared that is a disaster area they say
01:34:18.040
that um it will be uninhabitable uninhabitable for um weeks if not
01:34:25.880
months puerto rico is is i mean is already um on the verge of absolute
01:34:38.300
um the last number i heard and there's conflicting numbers but the last number i
01:34:44.280
heard was 240 people have been killed in the earthquake in mexico you know
01:34:50.600
that's going a lot higher a lot higher i mean that's just that you i mean
01:34:54.620
almost immediately they had video of buildings collapsing completely two
01:35:01.020
jeez i just hope you know some of them got out but they were talking about
01:35:05.580
dozens and dozens and dozens of children that they know are missing
01:35:08.880
whether they're alive in the rubble or who knows
01:35:11.680
but is there is there an aftershock coming i mean
01:35:14.500
you know they had an an 8.1 on the southern border of mexico what two weeks
01:35:20.140
ago now a 7.1 uh i believe in 1985 uh that was what was that an was that an
01:35:31.660
eight yeah on the worker scale eight one yeah uh and that killed it was
01:35:35.920
ironically the anniversary the 35th anniversary yesterday of the mexico city
01:35:43.300
earthquake that caused 10 000 people to die and a lot of people had
01:35:49.600
already gone to memorial services to remember their loved ones that had died
01:35:53.180
35 years later uh i mean earlier and then later in the
01:35:56.780
afternoon they're hit with an with a 7.1 it's moments it's
01:36:00.800
seriously like this that you take a moment and thank god for capitalism
01:36:04.940
because the capitalism we've had and our system has brought us enough freedom to
01:36:10.820
to make these disasters when they do hit us must much less damage oh my gosh well
01:36:14.860
look at the difference between mexico city and 85 and now
01:36:30.160
pat gray from pat gray unchained on the blaze radio network that uh begin or unleashed
01:36:37.580
whichever name whatever is on the on your network leashes i had it all i had all of it and and now
01:36:43.700
it's been on all of it's been on you it's all been on yes so uh so pat what is on your mind today
01:36:50.140
uh well i think we're going in the right direction in this country and uh i think you have to agree to
01:36:55.480
agree when a uh when an entire illinois football team of players eight years old and younger
01:37:00.900
takes a knee rather than stand for the national anthem you know that it's going swimmingly where where
01:37:07.840
where where where where did this happen illinois illinois and they were they were eight years old
01:37:12.980
and below yes yeah and they took a knee there's seven and eight year olds uh the coach says one of
01:37:17.900
the kids asked me did i see them protesting and writing in st louis uh the coach said i said yes
01:37:22.980
and do you know why they're doing it player answered because black people are getting killed and nobody's
01:37:27.460
going to jail i mean thank you for knowing that thank you for understanding that all black people are
01:37:32.980
being killed and the people who kill them just then they don't nothing happens to them that's not
01:37:39.400
in fact in some cases they're given awards no it's not really true at all but there's the perception so
01:37:46.680
they he thought it was a great teaching moment and so they talked about colin kaepernick which is
01:37:50.620
interesting because colin kaepernick doesn't know why colin kaepernick is doing what he's doing
01:37:54.720
it's very true uh so he circled up the team they talked about it and they said well can we do that he
01:37:59.680
said sure yeah i you know as long as you know why you're doing it uh i don't have a problem with
01:38:04.300
it with that the whole team of all 25 players turned their back on the flag and took a knee parent
01:38:11.020
decide to have a vigorous conversation with the coach here's the coach's quote kind of along those
01:38:20.240
lines as long as i have the support of my parents and team and i'm covered by the first amendment to
01:38:25.060
peacefully protest and assemble i'm fine with this so apparently nobody nobody complained i mean can
01:38:31.720
you imagine you imagine you're taking your kid to um a uh into a game and you're sitting there in
01:38:40.480
stands and here comes the star spangled banner and all of a sudden you see your kid take a knee i'd go
01:38:46.680
out of my mind i would go out on the field i'd pull out of the game immediately i would too i would
01:38:51.120
go get my kid and i would i would walk out on the field during the national anthem and i would go get
01:38:58.620
my kid and i would pull him up on his feet and say after it was over we're leaving and then we would
01:39:08.580
get into the car and then i would have a discussion later with the coach the hell are you doing who
01:39:14.780
what right do you think you have to teach my children about this country and what we should
01:39:23.000
be doing do you think my you think my six-year-old really had an understanding on the ins and outs
01:39:31.800
of what's happening in st louis you really think so and he's a little league football game the proper
01:39:39.720
forum for that kind of nonsense it's not you know a guy called into the show yesterday and uh i don't
01:39:46.800
even remember what we were talking about at the time but he said pat i you know i appreciate what
01:39:50.880
you're trying to do but it's it's too late just don't uh don't worry about it it's too late for
01:39:55.240
this country and i said you know i just can't go there with you i can't no i'm not gonna i'm not
01:40:00.200
going to adopt that defeatist attitude by the end of the show i'd adopted that attitude he's right
01:40:06.840
you know what i'll throw my hands up it's too late you're done defeated during the show got
01:40:11.380
defeated during the show with one stupid story after another it's pretty hard to believe when
01:40:17.880
you got this coach saying what i teach my kids is love integrity honesty fairness respect boundaries
01:40:22.920
and of course hatred hatred for america i i don't correct any of their misperceptions about what's
01:40:28.680
going on in this country i as long as we're not going to teach our children if we don't teach our
01:40:33.980
children we are done it is too late we we got to get a grip on this and if you don't homeschool your
01:40:41.620
kids you've got to at least supplement what they're what they're hearing when they get home how have to
01:40:48.100
how sitting around the dinner table and discussing what you learned that day and then correcting the
01:40:53.520
misperceptions talking about the news that comes on tv hey when the when your kids say i saw what
01:40:58.800
happened in st louis what's going on there and you can give them the perspective that there are many
01:41:03.020
people who think that that all cops are racist they're not sometimes they make terrible mistakes
01:41:08.420
and sometimes they are racist sometimes they are sometimes they might be racist but in the vast
01:41:12.520
majority of cases they're not and and the vast majority of these cops have been exonerated from
01:41:18.300
any wrongdoing and i know people don't like that and they don't like to hear it but there's also people
01:41:23.060
who are doing hands up don't shoot when that never happened in ferguson yeah i mean plus talking to a
01:41:28.500
six-year-old you're not even in the position to explain racism in in proper terms they can't even
01:41:33.520
just the i mean that's why they had the star-bellied sneetches from dr seuss like he's trying to explain
01:41:41.500
racism and he's got to put stars on the belly of sneetches to explain that concept this is you're
01:41:46.520
saying the concept of racism then you're trying to dissect you know national events and and misleading
01:41:52.360
these kids in in massive ways it is so clear now that you have small children star-bellied sneetches
01:41:57.920
there's no way 10 years ago you could have made a reference to star-bellied sneetches you're exactly
01:42:03.160
right you're exactly right so true you would have mocked us yes you would have mocked us and now we're
01:42:09.040
sitting here going uh-huh yeah wait until they become teenagers you're praying for the star-bellied
01:42:15.140
sneetches to come and kill you i don't think they were violent creatures no they were they were yeah
01:42:21.680
uh seuss he covered all that up yeah he covered it all up yeah there was a horrible bloodbath yeah
01:42:27.500
wait i thought it was they all came together and understood that it's okay if one has a star in
01:42:31.760
their belly and one does not it doesn't matter those are just differences and we can all come together
01:42:35.360
hands up don't sneetch that's that's that was completely erased yeah and then they were all
01:42:41.520
decapitated yeah so and it turns into like a really like a who to and tootsie situation where
01:42:46.740
they all start killing each other millions dead i'm glad i didn't get to that chapter in fact the
01:42:52.520
who to and titsies actually follow the playbook of star-bellied sneetches yeah i just want you to
01:42:59.000
listen to that that's where that came from i just want you to listen to that imagine that you had no
01:43:02.300
idea who dr seuss was uh and but you did know who the who tos and the sneetches or the who tos and
01:43:08.240
the tootsies were you would be worried right now about the star-bellied sneetches that's true
01:43:13.620
they kind of sound yeah it's a little scary i i would be infuriated by that though because i mean
01:43:20.020
i just had a a meeting speaking of having little kids i had a uh a basketball coach meeting last
01:43:24.880
night where i had to go and like learn how to not i guess i think that i would say the main thrust of
01:43:30.160
the meeting was don't punch the kids in the face if they miss a shot like they just want to make
01:43:34.460
sure that you're not the crazy parent who's going to go nuts on the sidelines and and become this
01:43:40.720
competitive pat riley so wait wait so you you're going to be coaching yes i'd be coaching the the
01:43:46.640
basketball and again like it's i mean i'd already do the baseball thing uh and we're starting the
01:43:51.040
basketball thing but that's i would say the thrust of the meeting is not necessarily like anything about
01:43:54.800
the coaching it's about like hey don't be a lunatic parent who thinks this is the final four it's not
01:43:59.320
okay um however they didn't i remember going through this with uh my daughter uh when she
01:44:06.220
was young at uh uh in connecticut at a t-ball game and they didn't give that uh that that speech to
01:44:17.100
the parents and the parents were arguing at a t-ball game yeah the t-ball and where they probably
01:44:25.420
didn't even keep score uh no they did they did everyone continued to hit the t-ball everyone
01:44:32.400
was not you were not allowed to grab the ball and tag them out so everyone hit the ball ran around
01:44:40.060
everyone got home it was tied eight to eight it was a home run every time it was a home run every
01:44:46.380
time tied eight to eight and there were parents that actually were arguing about it and i turned around
01:44:53.920
and went it's going to be eight to eight that is true because i did the baseball thing last year
01:45:01.980
and there's you start just counting in your head at least the outs because every once in a while the
01:45:07.820
ball gets close enough to the base and the kid actually picks it up or throws it somewhat near the
01:45:11.720
other kid yeah and and the guy running to first base trips and you get an out and it's like basically
01:45:17.120
winning the world series oh the stands empty yeah they tear down the fencing yeah it's a big moment
01:45:23.940
gatorade baths come right but i mean i think honestly there is no circumstance that i can
01:45:29.940
imagine losing my mind as a parent for a little league kid except the one you just described pat i
01:45:35.420
would lose my mind on that not on the kid obviously for sure uh but i mean i'm a coach afterwards and i
01:45:41.400
would i wouldn't lose my mind on the kid but i would have there would be a harsh talking to on that
01:45:45.120
one i you know what i i i don't think i would take it out on my child there would be a there would
01:45:52.380
be a discussion on um i understand i i understand you thought you were doing good um but that's a
01:46:00.980
really complex thing i mean if you come down on your kids when they think they're doing good and
01:46:07.380
they've been told by an adult that they're doing good they're gonna have to decide eventually who do
01:46:12.840
they believe mom and dad or my fun coach over here you know and as they grow they're gonna start
01:46:19.980
thinking so you you wouldn't want to come down on your kid at all um you would want to correct it
01:46:25.300
but if they're six or seven years old they have no idea what they're doing none it's the one the one
01:46:30.640
that's responsible is the coach and i can't believe i can't believe that in america today that could
01:46:38.780
happen and there isn't a single parent on that little league team on either side that isn't in
01:46:46.460
front of a camera saying this is outrageous i pulled my kid out it shows you how out of favor
01:46:53.880
conservative principles are no no no nobody has them stop nobody has them stop conservative
01:46:58.820
american yeah principles that's right not conservative anymore this is how out of step
01:47:05.200
anyone who actually believes in america how out of step you actually are
01:47:10.480
now if you don't hate america you can listen to pat gray unleashed or watch it on the blaze
01:47:20.080
television and radio networks and if you don't do it i'll find you if you find you if you don't
01:47:24.520
hate america listen to him if you do hate america watch him right one of whatever whichever one
01:47:30.100
and see uh the fabulous path he will take today to be completely defeated and give up on america
01:47:35.640
that's all coming up on pat gray unleashed after this program on blaze radio and tv
01:47:39.880
as a gun owner education is the top priority a concealed carry uh permit uh allows you to do a lot of
01:47:53.240
but the moment you pull out that gun it's a different world who is protecting you do you guys
01:48:01.640
remember when when we went to philadelphia and we took the classes and we all had to you know take the
01:48:07.800
safety course classes and learn to shoot the guns oh yeah remember that and remember the conversation
01:48:13.420
that they had on look if you're ever going to pull out your gun here are the rules here are the
01:48:18.660
restrictions here's what you want to make sure and you we were all afraid like i'm not going to pull
01:48:23.720
my gun i mean i don't i don't want to pull my gun because it was so there were certain things you had
01:48:30.480
to do otherwise your life is over and people who go through that training are the usually the least
01:48:37.460
likely to pull out their gun in some crazy circumstance because they're the most responsible
01:48:41.620
and in some cases in some states there's a law that you must try to retreat first you have to run
01:48:46.700
away before you can then defend yourself it doesn't even make sense in some places just unbelievable
01:48:52.460
uh here in texas uh thank god that's not the case but pretty much everywhere else you're in trouble and
01:48:59.680
even in texas you you have to pull your gun on somebody god forbid you have to shoot you are in
01:49:04.540
you're in trouble the u.s concealed carry association knows this and they would like to send you their free
01:49:11.140
family defense guide now this is really important it covers everything all the safety stuff
01:49:16.580
all of the um all of the things like you know how can you uh you know see trouble coming how can
01:49:23.060
you detect detectors before they see you i can't believe that we have to have a handbook but you
01:49:28.620
should have this handbook in your house on um uh how what do you do in case of a mass shooting
01:49:34.580
hey i mean i just i don't understand this world but that's part of it now the the critical thing is
01:49:43.400
beyond the 165 pages um that you can either read or you can listen to it on their bonus audio version
01:49:49.960
um they give you the checklist that you should have if you own a gun and you want to protect yourself
01:49:57.500
but to me the most important thing is that you look into their insurance because you we have health
01:50:04.820
insurance we have life insurance we have fire insurance we have car insurance we have some people
01:50:11.440
have flood insurance i mean we have insurance for everything but this but the moment you pull
01:50:17.220
your gun you're going to need it because somebody the bad guys this time wearing a suit and carrying
01:50:23.040
a briefcase and calling themselves attorneys are coming for you protect and defend.com the people

my name is glenn beck my executive producer is uh stuber gear he is uh also the executive producer of
01:51:04.720
uh glenn beck television which uh airs on the plays uh we are in um in um in um in the process now of
01:51:14.160
doing something that i think you're really going to like um all chalkboard based um but i i think in a way
01:51:20.540
when we get it all said and done hopefully it's in a way that you've you've not seen before and and um
01:51:26.000
really explaining the basic things uh uh in a in a very clear and simple way kind of the stuff that
01:51:34.420
you know we're trying to go back to the basics the things that we know that we do well and the things
01:51:38.240
that we that we know that you could use um but we were this week we've been showing you behind the
01:51:45.940
scenes and it's it's really quite last night last night show i was watching it last night and
01:51:51.680
it was a little uncomfortable at times uh because it was really it's i mean it is you know reality
01:51:58.920
television it was raw and honest yeah last night was you know as we're building up to the new stuff
01:52:03.700
this was sort of like a behind the scenes episode where you're going through and talking about how
01:52:07.760
what new shows might be on the blaze uh specifically talking to ali and uh alice tucky and lawrence
01:52:13.640
jones about their shows that uh they're working on now uh and you know it was kind of in the
01:52:19.560
meetings and dissecting every little bit of their performance and every idea that they had it was
01:52:26.200
there was a time where it was like you saw me and how i critique people yeah um you're a jerk
01:52:31.800
which is interesting i don't think people knew that until last night well i mean it is i mean you did
01:52:37.340
kind of cut out the spirit of it i mean i did say i noticed that there was cut out a lot of the stuff
01:52:42.360
that like you're on it i didn't have that conversation with them you know at the beginning that's when i
01:52:47.220
thought that they were all i guess that makes it worse yeah actually i i i thought i made you look
01:52:53.020
a lot better than in real life uh this is the truth did not live here in that episode because
01:52:58.740
i edited out you being a real jerk and just made you kind of a jerk yeah because that was really as
01:53:04.020
far as i could go yeah so if you ever want to see what it's like to work with me um boy unfettered
01:53:10.280
access uh you can uh watch last night so tonight is when i was working with the writers yeah the
01:53:15.980
writers uh with the blaze.com which is kind of interesting how that's changing as well yeah
01:53:20.480
so check it out the blaze.com slash tv tonight five o'clock
