The Glenn Beck Program - 9⧸26⧸17 - Meet America's New Icon？ (Kitty Higgins & Burgess Owens join Glenn)

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

00:00:09.740 Love. Courage. Truth. Glenn Beck.

00:00:15.020 Well, let's give credit to America's team for showing the rest of the NFL the path forward.

00:00:19.460 Last night, just before the Monday night football game against the Cardinals,

00:00:25.160 the Dallas Cowboys walked out on the center field, knelt in prayer,

00:00:29.160 and then stood up and respectfully listened to the National Anthem.

00:00:34.240 What the Dallas Cowboys did last night is a microcosm for the entire country

00:00:39.700 and what we should all be doing.

00:00:41.100 As a team, they came together.

00:00:43.780 They all stood up for what they believed in.

00:00:46.120 They included prayer, and they did it respectfully.

00:00:49.140 They took a knee, and they honored the National Anthem,

00:00:52.420 and they even threw in a prayer.

00:00:54.960 You can disagree with what they're protesting,

00:00:57.520 but you can't say a word about how they did it

00:01:00.520 because it was not disrespectful in any way.

00:01:06.040 You know, when we're looking to the Dallas Cowboys for leadership,

00:01:09.400 there is a dearth of leadership in this country.

00:01:13.600 Can you think of any other political activism in this day and age

00:01:17.720 that has ended with nonviolence and both sides feeling respected?

00:01:21.960 Because I can't.

00:01:23.920 It doesn't happen anymore.

00:01:27.840 Once again, Texas comes riding in to make us feel good,

00:01:33.120 to show us something positive,

00:01:35.260 to show us how we should be behaving.

00:01:41.440 I am a little surprised that it came from professional sports.

00:01:48.860 However, I shouldn't be.

00:01:50.860 Our professional athletes historically have transcended their professions.

00:01:55.680 It was in 1936, Jesse Owens won four gold medals,

00:01:59.260 showing the master race that they weren't all that masterful. 1.00

00:02:02.520 You know what I mean?

00:02:03.080 1980, the U.S. hockey team broke the myth of the Soviets being invincible,

00:02:11.100 and they did it with style, and they did it with class.

00:02:14.880 In 2017, the Cowboys showed us that respecting one another is still possible,

00:02:20.440 and they provided a path forward for the NFL.

00:02:23.580 And what's more,

00:02:27.560 our children's heroes, if they still look at these guys as heroes,

00:02:35.220 demonstrated how a man behaves.

00:02:39.140 It's Tuesday, September 26th.

00:02:54.300 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:56.160 Killed you to see that with the Cowboys, didn't it, Stu? 0.98

00:02:58.760 Killed you. 1.00

00:02:59.440 Just killed you. 1.00

00:03:00.160 What, that they won? 0.95

00:03:00.880 Yeah, I mean, I was not happy about it, I'll tell you that.

00:03:03.440 No, no, I mean that.

00:03:05.500 I mean, you'd always still like to see the Cowboys doing anything good.

00:03:07.900 Well, it's hard to imagine anything born from Satan doing something good,

00:03:12.920 but if that's what you believe.

00:03:13.900 I will tell you, isn't it amazing how this has been reported?

00:03:17.500 The first story I read this morning was,

00:03:20.700 Jerry Jones knelt in solidarity with, you know, with Kaepernick.

00:03:27.440 And I'm like, Jerry, what?

00:03:29.540 Not even possible.

00:03:32.140 That's the first story I read on this today.

00:03:34.420 It doesn't really seem like what happened, did it?

00:03:36.280 No, it doesn't seem like that at all.

00:03:37.620 I think it was a respectful thing, but they stayed away from doing protests during the anthem,

00:03:42.900 which I definitely prefer to kneeling during the anthem.

00:03:45.980 I don't know that I need the kneel at all.

00:03:47.800 You know, the locking arms and standing there, I was kind of happy with.

00:03:50.220 A bunch of teams did that over the weekend.

00:03:52.560 But for me...

00:03:54.000 I don't mind if they go out and kneel.

00:03:55.680 Some of them were praying.

00:03:56.580 And that was great.

00:03:57.300 I thought that was great.

00:03:58.180 You like that?

00:03:58.900 Yeah, you can't do that anymore.

00:04:00.540 God forbid you pray.

00:04:02.520 I don't think he does.

00:04:03.100 I don't think he does forbid that.

00:04:05.140 So they go out and they lock arms.

00:04:08.300 Some of them are protesting.

00:04:09.340 Some of them are praying.

00:04:10.340 Good.

00:04:11.660 Now, here's what I would like to see.

00:04:14.440 End this.

00:04:15.800 End this now.

00:04:16.800 Yes.

00:04:17.120 There's no...

00:04:17.520 I mean, let's go out on the high note.

00:04:19.880 Isn't that...

00:04:20.560 Didn't we see enough?

00:04:21.380 No, I think we got it.

00:04:22.500 I think we got it.

00:04:23.460 I think we have it.

00:04:25.840 You know, as I have...

00:04:27.620 It will be...

00:04:28.260 You'll have it when the... 0.99

00:04:31.160 Then there's no more epidemic of violence from white police officers against black people. 0.97

00:04:36.640 That's when you'll have it. 0.61

00:04:38.060 Only then will we be able to stand together for...

00:04:40.760 First of all, that's not what this is about anymore.

00:04:42.360 All this weekend was all about anti-Donald Trump.

00:04:46.360 That's all this was.

00:04:47.380 Making a stand against Donald Trump.

00:04:50.420 And David French has a really good view, I think, on this.

00:04:55.520 We're trying to get David French on to talk about his article that he wrote on Google,

00:05:02.480 the NFL, and Donald Trump.

00:05:04.600 It's a think piece.

00:05:07.180 Gonna make your head hurt, but it's a think piece.

00:05:10.740 One of the things that Stu said yesterday that I had not put together is, you know,

00:05:16.640 Donald Trump, he does not forget grudges.

00:05:23.360 He holds a grudge, and he never lets it go.

00:05:27.040 And by the way, that's him saying that.

00:05:28.580 I mean, he's talked about that before in his books, and how he has a very difficult time with that.

00:05:33.740 Really, only until someone comes along and really praises him and gets on his side does that happen.

00:05:38.720 Correct.

00:05:39.740 So he's not, so it's, this is something coming from him.

00:05:45.160 It's not a slight on him.

00:05:46.600 It is what he says.

00:05:50.600 Stu pointed something out.

00:05:53.300 And let me just play audio cut number two of this.

00:05:58.220 See if you remember.

00:06:01.460 Yes.

00:06:02.060 Donald Trump and the USFL made plans to move to the fall.

00:06:07.480 If God wanted football in the spring, he wouldn't have created baseball.

00:06:10.900 Well, we had a good league, but I always said spring football will never work.

00:06:14.720 It'll never be first class.

00:06:16.160 And if you look at a building like this, it's 57th and 5th.

00:06:19.680 It's the best location right next to Tiffany.

00:06:22.140 And that's what I've been all about, doing the best.

00:06:24.480 Yes.

00:06:24.700 And spring football was not that.

00:06:26.700 And I thought if we moved to the fall, we'd create tremendous problems for the NFL and

00:06:35.520 something would happen.

00:06:37.280 On October 17th, the USFL filed a billion dollar antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

00:06:43.400 Do you see this as an attempt on their parts to maybe force a merger somewhere down the line?

00:06:48.600 That's, that's all that Donald Trump and two or three of those immensely wealthy men have

00:06:54.360 in mind.

00:06:54.780 So, and this is interesting because Trump filed a lawsuit, a billion dollars, along with a

00:07:01.940 couple of other owners to try to get the NFL to basically force them to merge.

00:07:05.780 They won the lawsuit and won $1.

00:07:08.240 And because they won $1, the entire league had to shut down.

00:07:11.440 So he had bought a team in the USFL.

00:07:14.480 This is back in the 80s.

00:07:15.340 This goes back 30, you know, 30 years.

00:07:18.060 And it was one of his first real business failures.

00:07:21.640 It was, and to this day, you could tell by, if you watch that documentary, which is an

00:07:26.840 ESPN 30 for 30, you can tell he's still angry about it in 2014 when it was made.

00:07:33.600 He doesn't let those things go.

00:07:34.760 No, he doesn't.

00:07:35.980 And by his own admission, he says this is one of the reasons that he's been so successful

00:07:39.880 and so strong in business all these years.

00:07:41.860 He doesn't forget these things.

00:07:43.200 He just keeps going.

00:07:44.340 Still, do I think that the reason he's doing this with the NFL has anything, has a lot to

00:07:49.400 do with the USFL thing?

00:07:50.500 No.

00:07:51.000 I mean, I think number one, I think he really does love the flag.

00:07:54.340 He is a nationalist.

00:07:55.340 He loves the troops.

00:07:56.280 I think that's number one.

00:07:57.300 Number two, he is saying something that a lot of us feel.

00:08:00.240 Would I like an owner to be like, you know what?

00:08:02.540 I'm sick of this.

00:08:03.260 Just get out of here. 0.96

00:08:04.460 Like, would I like that?

00:08:05.320 I mean, there's a big part of me that would like that.

00:08:07.740 So I think those are the main reasons he's doing it.

00:08:10.100 But I don't know, 10, 20 percent.

00:08:13.420 There's a part of him that has been trying to shut down and destroy the NFL for 30 years.

00:08:19.720 And I think there is a chunk of that that makes him kind of like, it's an additional exclamation

00:08:25.220 point on his attention on this particular matter.

00:08:27.300 I think it gives him just a tad bit of joy, maybe in not the happiest time, a little extra

00:08:33.580 joy that he's kicking the NFL when it's down.

00:08:43.940 So is it too much to ask that this is over now?

00:08:47.000 I think the answer to that is yes.

00:08:49.200 Yes, it is.

00:08:50.220 Yes, it is.

00:08:50.820 There's no common sense.

00:08:51.780 There's no, there's no, there's not a chance this now goes away.

00:08:56.320 Should it?

00:08:58.140 Absolutely.

00:08:59.700 But there are people that actually believe in something that is that is what Colin Kaepernick

00:09:08.740 believes.

00:09:09.880 And make no mistake, what Colin Kaepernick is is saying is wildly different than, you know,

00:09:20.220 there's some injustices.

00:09:21.200 And we can all agree that, hey, if there's a bad cop, let's find the bad cops.

00:09:29.080 There's no reason that any American, I don't care what color you are, no American should 1.00

00:09:32.880 be afraid to answer the door if it's the cops.

00:09:35.560 No American should, should fear the cops.

00:09:39.600 The police should be there to protect and defend everyone, no matter what.

00:09:46.580 Are there bad cops?

00:09:49.380 Yeah, I'm sure there are.

00:09:50.740 There's because there's bad bakers and there's there's bad everything.

00:09:55.380 So, yes, of course, there's bad cops.

00:09:59.300 Should we get them out?

00:10:01.320 Yes, we should.

00:10:03.060 That's what we all agree on, I think.

00:10:05.060 But that is not what Colin Kaepernick and others, for instance, Black Lives Matter, as we learned

00:10:12.760 after the cops were shot here in Dallas, talking to the people who are marching with Black Lives

00:10:20.120 Matter in places like Dallas, they don't agree with Black Lives Matter.

00:10:24.620 They just are trying.

00:10:25.500 They're using Black Lives Matter because they say there's a problem in our neighborhood.

00:10:28.880 There's a problem with the relationship in our neighborhood and in Dallas, at least, as

00:10:34.940 we talked to a few of the people who were marching in Black Lives Matter, they said, we're

00:10:39.360 becoming afraid of our own grandchildren because culture is changing and we need help.

00:10:47.720 I think that's true.

00:10:49.100 However, this is not going to go away until we actually separate the legitimate arguments,

00:11:03.160 the legitimate concerns.

00:11:05.440 Culture is changing.

00:11:07.400 There is a wound in America that has never really healed.

00:11:11.660 It's never healed.

00:11:13.280 We've never really, truly had reconciliation in this country.

00:11:17.360 Abraham, I want you to think about this.

00:11:20.440 What happens when a country goes to war like it did?

00:11:26.660 Rwanda is a great example.

00:11:29.840 Rwanda went to war.

00:11:31.220 They killed half the population.

00:11:33.320 Half the population killed the other half.

00:11:36.180 It was incredible what happened.

00:11:40.080 The war ended and instead of putting the criminals behind bars, the new president said, what we have

00:11:46.580 to do is we have to reconcile with one another.

00:11:50.140 And so if you admit to your crime and you say where the bodies are buried, what you did

00:11:59.240 to those victims, why you did it, and you ask the family for forgiveness.

00:12:05.320 Think of this.

00:12:06.180 If the family believes you and forgives you, you can go.

00:12:13.680 The forgiveness rate was over 80%.

00:12:17.080 I think that's astounding.

00:12:19.820 But what's happened to that country?

00:12:21.560 What happened to that country was it is now the, it has had, I think, 8% GDP growth every year

00:12:30.000 since the year 2000.

00:12:32.420 It is stable and growing faster than anyone else in the African Union.

00:12:39.880 It's a remarkable example on what can happen if you have reconciliation.

00:12:45.840 What happened here in the United States?

00:12:48.360 We went into Reconstruction.

00:12:51.160 Abraham Lincoln was killed.

00:12:53.720 And we all just said, basically, what Americans usually do, I'm fine.

00:12:57.280 I'm fine.

00:12:57.800 It's all good.

00:12:58.460 Let's just move on.

00:13:00.840 And we really, we did not finish the job.

00:13:07.400 When Martin Luther King was killed, we kind of did the same thing.

00:13:12.780 We were like, okay, all right, okay.

00:13:14.360 Everybody can ride the bus and we're, we're not going to have segregation anymore.

00:13:19.840 But we never got back together as people and slapped each other on the back and said,

00:13:26.380 hey, I'm sorry for the things that I was doing.

00:13:28.860 I mean, in this lifetime, you know, I'm sorry for the things that I was saying and doing.

00:13:32.340 And, you know, and I forgive you.

00:13:34.680 And having just a national dialogue, there was no coming back together.

00:13:38.500 We all just kind of buried it and moved on and just went, okay, it's all fine now.

00:13:43.280 So I don't think we ever really healed as a country should.

00:13:48.880 The reason why we can't do that now is because everybody wants something.

00:13:54.100 Because now it's not just about, hey, can we just get together as reasonable human beings?

00:13:58.640 Now everybody's at a negotiating table.

00:14:00.960 Now everybody wants, I want this or you're going to give me that.

00:14:04.820 And that's not what reconciliation is about.

00:14:09.280 So I don't think we can ever come together, but we have to, we have to.

00:14:15.740 And we have to dismiss the people on the extremes of each side that say there is no problem or it's all bad.

00:14:31.100 Because both of those are a lie.

00:14:34.820 There is a new white privilege checklist that is going out for schools in San Diego State University.

00:14:43.000 A chance for you to earn extra credit by rating your level of white privilege. 0.53

00:14:49.480 20 questions to see how privileged you are.

00:14:56.220 Okay.

00:14:56.700 I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

00:15:00.880 Oh my gosh.

00:15:02.460 Oh my gosh, I can do that.

00:15:04.820 I can do that.

00:15:07.320 I can go to an area that's predominantly one color, just like everyone else in the world.

00:15:11.680 I can go shopping alone or most of the time.

00:15:13.960 Pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

00:15:16.880 No, I can't do that.

00:15:20.940 I can't ever do that.

00:15:22.280 It's usually one of us throwing something at you.

00:15:23.820 Right.

00:15:24.040 I can turn on the television or open the front page of a paper and see people of my race widely represented.

00:15:31.360 You know, that's not white privilege.

00:15:34.700 And that's not good.

00:15:35.680 That just is.

00:15:37.260 It's not good or bad.

00:15:38.500 Right.

00:15:38.740 That's the whole point.

00:15:39.660 Let me ask you this.

00:15:42.160 Is there such a thing as black privilege?

00:15:44.340 Right. 0.97

00:15:44.580 Because I can go to Africa or I can go and I can I can go to an Arab country and I'm not going to see a bunch of white people. 0.94

00:15:51.880 Ask the NFL players as they kneel on the field with 70 percent of their own race. 0.65

00:15:56.800 Do they is that OK?

00:15:58.080 Is that black privilege there?

00:15:59.420 I thought that's what they were protesting was white privilege.

00:16:03.000 We're going to go into this a little bit more, probably on tomorrow's program, because it's a discussion that we we have to have a discussion that we have to have on saying, you know, let's let's have some perspective here.

00:16:16.840 Because that is, in my opinion, what is missing from America today.

00:16:21.260 Not opinions.

00:16:22.600 We have enough opinion perspective.

00:16:26.020 An opinion says, see, and I'm right.

00:16:28.960 Perspective says, hang on just a second.

00:16:31.720 Has anybody thought about looking at it from this angle?

00:16:42.320 You come home and you've lost about twenty five hundred dollars worth of stuff.

00:16:48.040 But more importantly, when you open up the door, you see that somebody has gone through all of your stuff.

00:16:57.140 They've broken into your house.

00:16:59.540 How long does it take for you to feel safe in your house?

00:17:03.060 SimpliSafe home security protects every door and every window in your home.

00:17:09.660 You're going to get motion sensors, entry sensors.

00:17:12.560 SimpliSafe system is completely wireless so you can set it up for yourself without drilling holes in your wall.

00:17:18.660 I have a friend who said on a prompting, they were they got into their car with their family and they were at some thing and they were going to go home and just play a game.

00:17:30.040 And and on a prompting, they halfway home, they felt you got to go back.

00:17:36.820 You got to go back to where you were and say something. 0.98

00:17:43.360 But it was so strong. 0.97

00:17:44.500 He said to his wife, I have to go back and say something to those people.

00:17:48.080 She's like, you can just call them.

00:17:49.620 He's like, no, I have to go right now.

00:17:51.620 I just feel it so strongly.

00:17:53.500 He drives back, takes him about forty five minutes to go back and then get back home.

00:17:59.240 By the time they get home, somebody had just left their house.

00:18:03.380 If he hadn't have gone back, he would have walked in on a burglary and God only knows what would have happened.

00:18:51.560 Glenn Beck.

00:18:55.860 Glenn Beck.

00:18:56.340 Jason Batrill is with us now.

00:19:02.420 He's our chief researcher, military advisor, and writer on the Glenn Beck program.

00:19:09.000 And I wanted to bring you in.

00:19:10.180 North Korea, things are really weird with North Korea.

00:19:14.960 The president went against the advice of his own advisors and called him what he called rocket man at the UN,

00:19:21.760 which I thought was unnecessary, but he had harsh rhetoric.

00:19:28.440 He said, if provocations continue, we'll have no choice but totally destroy North Korea.

00:19:35.240 If we're forced to defend ourself or its allies, we will completely destroy it.

00:19:39.820 Then we flew our B-2 bombers in international waters.

00:19:49.260 The North Korea now says this is an act of war.

00:19:53.120 The rhetoric concerns me.

00:19:54.860 It does because the only thing that's going to really push this over to where we actually do engage in war is a mistake.

00:20:01.460 And the rhetoric that's going on right now is pushing both sides closer and closer towards making one of those mistakes.

00:20:07.980 If they shot down one of our bombers, it is an act of war, but we have behaved differently in the past, have we not?

00:20:15.120 We have.

00:20:15.660 The Soviets have done it in the past. 0.96

00:20:16.940 We do not have to go to war over that.

00:20:19.500 We would be justified, but...

00:20:21.980 Glenn Beck.

00:20:31.480 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:33.120 Anthony Weiner is going to be breaking rocks.

00:20:41.640 He just got two years in prison for being Anthony Weiner and doing what Anthony Weiner was doing with 15-year-old girls online.

00:20:55.560 I think he could have gotten 10 years.

00:20:58.060 I think he should have gotten more.

00:20:59.820 We need to send a message to dirtbags that this is unacceptable.

00:21:05.700 I can't even imagine, as a dad, how I would have felt if this guy would have been sending messages and asking my 15-year-old daughter to do the things that Anthony Weiner asked her to do,

00:21:18.400 knowing that she was 15.

00:21:21.660 You know, this isn't he stood in front of the judge and said, I had no idea.

00:21:24.640 She sure looked 18 to me. 0.98

00:21:26.520 No, she said, I'm 15.

00:21:29.620 And he said, oh, the things I would like to do to you when you're 18, but why don't you just do them to yourself and let me watch?

00:21:38.040 I mean, imagine as a dad how you'd feel.

00:21:40.920 So yesterday he went to jail, but it wasn't too long ago when he was close to becoming the mayor of New York City until he had a pretty major meltdown and Showtime was there to capture it.

00:22:00.840 But here's one meltdown that he had while he was at MSNBC.

00:22:05.560 He's running for the mayor of New York City, and he's on with Lawrence O'Donnell.

00:22:10.920 Where is Lawrence?

00:22:14.840 He's in D.C.

00:22:16.300 He's also playing the earpiece, not in the studio.

00:22:24.520 Joining me now is Anthony Weiner.

00:22:26.840 Thank you.

00:22:28.560 It's my pleasure, Lawrence.

00:22:29.480 How are you?

00:22:33.600 For me, it just comes down to this, which is what is wrong with you?

00:22:40.920 I don't understand the question.

00:22:43.140 What is wrong with me that I care so much about the issues that I fight for every day that I have my entire career?

00:22:48.640 No.

00:22:50.220 Are you saying that because I have things in my personal life that are embarrassing, I shouldn't run for office?

00:22:54.680 Okay, that's a fair position to have.

00:22:56.400 Some people have it.

00:22:58.300 Well, you're not being clear, Lawrence, so let's work a little harder at that.

00:23:03.060 It does not seem to be a fully healthy pursuit for your life.

00:23:07.680 I know there are a lot of people who talk about it.

00:23:09.900 If you take in the totality of your life, Anthony, do you think you've spent your time well?

00:23:15.620 That's so awkward.

00:23:19.260 This is from this video from Showtime called Weiner.

00:23:22.180 Anthony, I think there is something wrong with you.

00:23:23.400 I know you just said that.

00:23:24.440 You just said that.

00:23:25.120 Repeating it doesn't make it any more interesting.

00:23:27.540 I'm looking at your life.

00:23:29.000 I'm looking at your relentless pursuit.

00:23:31.280 You are relentless about certain things.

00:23:35.220 That was not, that's not true.

00:23:37.180 That's not true.

00:23:38.900 That's not true.

00:23:40.380 What I'm trying to get at, Anthony, is what drives you.

00:23:43.740 Okay, tell me, in that case, ask me that question.

00:23:46.300 You don't like things that you know about me.

00:23:48.100 You want to make fun of me on television.

00:23:49.760 Join the club.

00:23:50.820 Frankly, bigger guys than you have been trying to knock me down.

00:23:53.880 I mean it from a psychiatric level.

00:23:56.500 I don't care about political answers.

00:23:57.480 I don't really need your psychiatric questions.

00:23:59.540 All you can focus on is what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you.

00:24:03.140 That's not an instant debate either.

00:24:06.280 As it turns out.

00:24:07.380 I don't plan on losing. 1.00

00:24:09.860 Maybe I'll come on this show and kick your ass every night like I'm doing tonight. 1.00

00:24:18.060 You'll get the last word I want if you want it, Anthony. 1.00

00:24:20.160 Good night, Lawrence.

00:24:21.560 Oh, God, that's so awkward.

00:24:23.080 Okay, so here's the reason why we're playing this.

00:24:26.240 A, Lawrence O'Donnell was right.

00:24:28.020 There is something deeply disturbing about Anthony Weiner, and I don't think we've seen the end of the Anthony Weiner story.

00:24:35.480 I don't think he changes in jail, quite honestly.

00:24:39.220 I really don't.

00:24:40.140 But, hey, maybe he does.

00:24:41.720 Maybe he has this moment.

00:24:43.720 But is he allowed to have electronics?

00:24:46.280 Is he allowed to have a phone?

00:24:48.000 Is he allowed to have the internet in prison?

00:24:51.360 Let's see how this works out for him.

00:24:53.840 We wanted to bring Kitty in because as we were talking about this yesterday, Kitty Higgins is the booker of our show and been with me how long, Kitty?

00:25:03.620 Just over a year and a half.

00:25:04.800 Just over a year.

00:25:05.660 She came from NBC.

00:25:07.400 You actually were the one who booked that interview.

00:25:11.660 That's correct.

00:25:12.480 Yeah.

00:25:12.680 So it was my first job right out of college.

00:25:15.600 I was an NBC page, and I was on assignment with the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell.

00:25:20.140 We booked him for that day, and none of the producers knew what Lawrence was going to ask.

00:25:28.160 So Lawrence was keeping it as a mystery block.

00:25:30.740 It was the last interview that Weiner was going to do before the polls opened for the mayoral race.

00:25:36.580 And we booked him.

00:25:40.400 I'm waiting for him to arrive.

00:25:43.580 My supervisor is getting nervous, and I had to lie to his assistant to get him there on time.

00:25:50.660 I could tell that it wasn't going to go well, so I said it was going to be a block earlier.

00:25:56.320 And so by the time that Weiner came in, he was sweating because he had been running through New York to get to 30 Rock.

00:26:05.580 We're in the elevator, and my supervisor's in the elevator with me, and he says,

00:26:09.720 I am so sorry I'm late.

00:26:11.320 And my supervisor's like, you're right on time.

00:26:15.860 Oops.

00:26:16.560 And so we run him into studio, and I was actually standing in the studio when that was happening,

00:26:22.480 so I couldn't hear what Lawrence was saying right away.

00:26:25.300 And then I was thinking, this is too good.

00:26:26.740 I run in the control room, and everyone's just sitting there nervously

00:26:29.480 because we had no idea where Lawrence was going that night.

00:26:32.160 But the interview ended, and it was still a really heated talk.

00:26:38.320 And so they actually extended the interview for about 15 more minutes for all mine.

00:26:42.340 So in this documentary, it shows Anthony Weiner kind of just laughing it off

00:26:47.560 and having a good time and walking out feeling like the victor.

00:26:51.840 That's what he's portraying here.

00:26:55.080 Yes.

00:26:55.260 Is that the way it ended?

00:26:56.580 No.

00:26:57.200 So I had to be the one that escorted him from studio to the elevator out.

00:27:03.680 And in the elevator ride down, he started crying.

00:27:07.740 And I was the only one with him, and I just said, thank you for coming on today.

00:27:12.040 And he walked out.

00:27:15.380 What was your impression of him?

00:27:17.660 I mean, Lawrence said, you know, what's wrong with you?

00:27:20.580 Was your impression that there was something deeply wrong with him?

00:27:25.240 You know, I had never seen the documentary until last night.

00:27:30.180 But looking back on the whole mayoral race,

00:27:34.000 it just seemed crazy that he would put himself and his wife and family

00:27:38.160 through that over and over again with the press.

00:27:41.280 It was not crazy now looking back because he's so focused on himself and his own needs

00:27:45.300 and what is going to stroke his ego or whatever else.

00:27:47.920 And that's what he does all the time.

00:27:49.680 But what's the crazy thing about this documentary,

00:27:50.940 and if you've never seen it, you need to see it.

00:27:53.100 It's fantastic.

00:27:53.160 It's on Netflix and everything else.

00:27:54.560 It's called Wiener.

00:27:56.400 And it is truly a car crash in slow motion.

00:28:02.540 You know what's coming.

00:28:04.760 You know this isn't healthy that he's got this going on.

00:28:08.260 And then they cover him with the next sex scandal.

00:28:12.360 And he never says, get out.

00:28:14.800 He could say to the cameras,

00:28:17.920 get the hell out. 0.95

00:28:19.620 He doesn't.

00:28:21.520 And it says to you,

00:28:24.920 there's something deeply wrong with Anthony Wiener.

00:28:32.980 So he left.

00:28:36.580 What was the reaction of the rest of the staff?

00:28:41.020 I think the staff for Lawrence O'Donnell was just kind of shocked.

00:28:45.400 I mean, we didn't even know what to expect for the segment.

00:28:48.480 Lawrence wasn't even in New York.

00:28:49.980 He was in the DC studio,

00:28:51.340 which made it more awkward because you have a slight delay.

00:28:54.900 And then Lawrence flew back to New York the next morning.

00:28:59.520 And he felt really bad about the interview.

00:29:03.300 He had even debated about whether or not he should reach out to Anthony and apologize.

00:29:07.440 Uh, that's interesting.

00:29:09.240 Cause I, I, wow.

00:29:10.340 He, he came off as the obvious victor in that interview.

00:29:13.440 And it seemed like that was his plan from the beginning to really go after him.

00:29:17.440 I'm surprised to hear that he felt bad about it.

00:29:19.860 Well, the interview blew up.

00:29:21.060 It was a viral video.

00:29:23.520 Buzzfeed was all over it.

00:29:25.000 Did he feel bad that he kind of set him up?

00:29:27.140 Like, I'll never, you know, this,

00:29:28.780 I'll never book somebody and set them up.

00:29:31.620 You know, you're walking into a hostel room.

00:29:34.280 Right.

00:29:35.000 With me.

00:29:35.940 Do you think with Lawrence,

00:29:38.140 they, he felt bad maybe because he didn't tell him you're walking into a chainsaw.

00:29:42.820 I think he did feel bad.

00:29:44.380 Yeah.

00:29:44.800 Yeah.

00:29:49.720 So last week with Lawrence O'Donnell,

00:29:52.380 there was something else that came out.

00:29:54.400 There was this audio.

00:29:55.860 Um, and it came out because somebody in the other room was hammering while he was recording the show.

00:30:05.820 And here's a little piece of what happened.

00:30:09.200 Who's the hammer?

00:30:10.920 You're recording a TV show.

00:30:17.660 He's quiet now because he's listening to a guest.

00:30:20.240 Donald Trump going to be called to testify to Congress.

00:30:23.860 Michael Iscoff has the latest on that.

00:30:25.860 Stop the hammering.

00:30:30.800 Stop the hammering out there.

00:30:32.460 Who's got a hammer?

00:30:33.780 All right.

00:30:33.940 So he goes off and quite honestly,

00:30:36.200 everybody is,

00:30:37.560 is,

00:30:37.940 is pounced on him.

00:30:39.560 Uh,

00:30:40.040 and I think I would have reacted the same way if somebody was hammering during my show.

00:30:45.860 I'd be like,

00:30:46.640 can we stop the hammering please?

00:30:49.080 Um,

00:30:49.700 but,

00:30:50.160 uh,

00:30:51.200 he,

00:30:51.620 for some reason,

00:30:52.480 this was leaked out.

00:30:53.940 And as we said,

00:30:55.900 uh,

00:30:57.160 that,

00:30:57.640 that doesn't just come out.

00:30:58.920 That is usually from somebody in the control room that doesn't like you.

00:31:06.100 Was Lawrence O'Donnell,

00:31:07.180 is Lawrence known as a crazy man or was this just a,

00:31:10.860 uh, 0.54

00:31:11.160 a,

00:31:11.720 a,

00:31:11.860 a,

00:31:12.320 a,

00:31:12.580 an outburst that was unusual for him?

00:31:15.300 Uh,

00:31:15.680 he's definitely a colorful person,

00:31:17.960 but he has a really good relationship with his staff and they really love him.

00:31:22.700 And I'd be really surprised if it came from one of the producers,

00:31:26.120 how NBC is set up is that the editors are pretty separate from the producing team.

00:31:32.020 So any one of the NBC editors could have access to the raw footage and that could have been leaked.

00:31:38.160 What would have happened to somebody if they leaked raw footage?

00:31:42.440 Uh,

00:31:42.660 is NBC,

00:31:43.340 do you think doing an investigation on who did that?

00:31:45.820 I would think so.

00:31:47.440 I mean,

00:31:47.660 it doesn't look good for anyone over there.

00:31:50.320 So you walked away liking Lawrence O'Donnell.

00:31:52.780 I did.

00:31:53.360 I really liked working with his team.

00:31:55.000 Yeah.

00:31:55.920 It kills me because I actually like him too.

00:31:59.240 Uh,

00:31:59.440 I just,

00:31:59.820 I just despise everything he says.

00:32:02.580 Well,

00:32:03.080 sure.

00:32:03.760 Everything he says,

00:32:04.460 uh,

00:32:04.920 you know,

00:32:05.340 the guy is a,

00:32:06.180 uh,

00:32:06.400 he's an admitted socialist and,

00:32:08.360 uh,

00:32:08.880 and,

00:32:09.320 and not a,

00:32:10.280 you know,

00:32:10.540 not a happy socialist,

00:32:11.840 but yeah,

00:32:12.200 right.

00:32:12.380 But he's,

00:32:12.840 well,

00:32:13.080 I don't,

00:32:13.420 I,

00:32:13.720 well,

00:32:13.840 he's a happy socialist,

00:32:15.140 but not in,

00:32:16.240 not in the,

00:32:17.600 Hey,

00:32:17.800 let's be Sweden.

00:32:18.900 I don't think that's the,

00:32:20.700 yeah,

00:32:20.820 it's interesting because he is,

00:32:21.640 you're right.

00:32:21.920 He said he was a socialist and he has a pretty deep understanding of what that means.

00:32:26.940 Yes.

00:32:27.120 At the same time,

00:32:27.900 he's really good friends with Penn Jillette,

00:32:29.980 who is obviously,

00:32:31.480 I mean,

00:32:31.700 he's almost too libertarian for libertarians.

00:32:34.940 Uh,

00:32:35.180 and yet they're still really close and friendly.

00:32:37.720 I mean,

00:32:38.360 you know,

00:32:38.960 Penn seems to make friends with very strange people like you as well.

00:32:43.060 So,

00:32:43.360 I mean,

00:32:43.460 that's not necessarily,

00:32:44.440 uh,

00:32:45.560 going to,

00:32:45.980 but it's kind of interesting.

00:32:47.120 He seems like an interesting guy at least.

00:32:48.740 Uh,

00:32:49.060 and to be in the middle of both of those moments.

00:32:51.260 We can still like each other,

00:32:52.380 even though he'd be kneeling on the field and I would be standing on the field,

00:32:56.020 at least in the last weekend.

00:32:57.980 Thanks,

00:32:58.460 Kitty.

00:33:04.540 By the way,

00:33:05.100 that documentary is called Wiener.

00:33:06.920 So you're allowed to search for Wiener on the internet and,

00:33:10.360 uh,

00:33:10.660 be careful,

00:33:11.560 but just be careful when you're doing that.

00:33:13.020 That's not necessarily always a good idea.

00:33:14.520 However,

00:33:14.780 that documentary is a good idea.

00:33:16.220 It is crazy.

00:33:17.200 You might think Anthony Wiener adds an old story.

00:33:18.840 Who cares?

00:33:19.840 You will go.

00:33:20.340 It's a,

00:33:20.580 it's a remarkable documentary.

00:33:21.840 I've never seen anything like it.

00:33:23.620 Yeah.

00:33:23.940 Cause you go through the whole thing with them.

00:33:25.120 And like,

00:33:25.680 for example,

00:33:26.100 there's a scene at the end when he's giving his concession speech after the

00:33:29.200 mayoral race in the,

00:33:31.380 in real life.

00:33:32.260 And in the news,

00:33:33.060 it was reported that one of his flings was going to confront him outside of

00:33:37.740 the speech.

00:33:38.480 So you are with him as he walks through the next door,

00:33:42.080 McDonald's through the kitchen,

00:33:44.340 as he sneaks in through the back way to make the actual speech.

00:33:48.900 The access they had was incredible.

00:33:51.840 Traveling can be a hassle flights,

00:33:54.900 hotels,

00:33:55.460 rental cars.

00:35:32.160 Glenn back.

00:35:38.960 Glenn back.

00:35:44.080 On the muddy banks of the river,

00:35:46.040 Gabrielle Sanchez rattled off the previous jobs of the women. 0.97

00:35:52.600 She now works with teachers,

00:35:55.940 doctors,

00:35:57.360 a petroleum engineer.

00:35:59.600 All of them showed up with degrees in their hands for a chance to work here.

00:36:07.460 Because of hyperinflation,

00:36:10.860 because of hyperinflation,

00:36:11.900 food shortages,

00:36:14.360 the sanctions,

00:36:15.660 Venezuela is in real trouble.

00:36:23.080 They only had a few job openings at this place,

00:36:26.960 but they did hire the petroleum engineer and a couple of the doctors and a teacher.

00:36:36.000 Inflation is now running in excess of 700%.

00:36:39.360 The currency is in a free fall food and medicine in Venezuela,

00:36:43.860 almost impossible to get.

00:36:46.400 But these new employees can make 50 to a hundred dollars a night on a good night,

00:36:56.260 just by selling not their mind or their talents,

00:37:00.180 but their bodies now.

00:37:02.340 20 minutes at a time.

00:37:05.640 On a good night,

00:37:07.340 they will make 50 dollars.

00:37:09.400 What matters most to us?

00:37:19.200 Let's try to keep perspective.

00:37:24.800 Glenn Beck.

00:37:39.400 The giant.

00:37:49.160 The giant is what the locals in Afghanistan used to call him.

00:37:54.400 His platoon called him just Lieutenant V.

00:37:57.560 Sometimes just V.

00:38:00.940 It was late at night on August 2011

00:38:03.360 that the Taliban ambushed his platoon.

00:38:07.420 And it was a furious firefight.

00:38:10.820 Three American soldiers were hit immediately in the bullet spray.

00:38:14.960 And Lieutenant V.

00:38:16.180 The giant.

00:38:17.440 Took the wounded men to a nearby school,

00:38:19.740 carrying one of them on his back.

00:38:22.460 A helicopter eventually rescued them all.

00:38:26.180 For that,

00:38:27.340 he was awarded the bronze star.

00:38:30.980 Bronze star with a V.

00:38:33.920 For valor.

00:38:37.420 He says he'd rather not have it

00:38:39.740 because one of the three wounded men died that night.

00:38:44.120 He was a private,

00:38:45.060 Jesse Dietrich.

00:38:47.180 V.

00:38:47.400 Still hasn't come to grips with the tragedy.

00:38:52.620 Yet there would be two more tours in Afghanistan for V.

00:38:56.540 This time as an army ranger.

00:38:59.140 V.

00:38:59.820 Has a really unusual background.

00:39:02.220 He was born in Mississippi to Spanish parents.

00:39:04.800 His dad was a Spanish naval officer.

00:39:07.840 Later,

00:39:08.420 his dad worked at NATO in Belgium,

00:39:10.260 where V played football for the first time at an American high school.

00:39:14.500 He was smart.

00:39:15.260 He was athletic.

00:39:16.040 And he was really big.

00:39:19.340 He eventually went to West Point and he made the football team as a walk-on.

00:39:25.320 By his senior year,

00:39:26.680 he was team captain.

00:39:28.580 Then came Afghanistan, 1.00

00:39:30.640 the bronze star.

00:39:33.640 Then he fell in love and he married the love of his life,

00:39:36.580 Madeline.

00:39:39.280 Although he hadn't played football in five years,

00:39:41.960 he tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2014 and he made the team,

00:39:45.520 but he was cut before the season started.

00:39:47.700 Then he made the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad.

00:39:50.940 And halfway through the season,

00:39:52.640 he earned a starting spot.

00:39:54.700 This summer,

00:39:55.840 the Steelers gave him a four-year,

00:39:57.840 $24 million contract extension.

00:40:04.040 This is the man that much of America grew to love,

00:40:08.940 but not yet know.

00:40:10.300 On Sunday,

00:40:13.060 the 29-year-old,

00:40:14.440 six-foot-eight,

00:40:15.660 320-pound offensive lineman,

00:40:19.700 V the Giant,

00:40:22.380 Alejandro Villanueva.

00:40:25.620 He was the only Pittsburgh Steelers player to step out of the tunnel for the national anthem.

00:40:31.420 He stood there with his hand over his heart,

00:40:33.440 and by doing so,

00:40:34.360 he stepped into the hearts of millions of Americans

00:40:36.900 who were just disgusted by the childish activism of so many NFL players.

00:40:45.380 But here's the update on the story.

00:40:48.240 Yesterday,

00:40:48.960 he came out with a heartfelt apology.

00:40:53.140 He apologized because he said it was not his intention to be seen and step out and make himself different than the rest of the team.

00:41:03.760 He said he made his team and his coach look bad.

00:41:10.400 But something drew him out of that tunnel.

00:41:15.420 Something that most of us will never fully understand because our lives have not been at stake for the country.

00:41:23.680 You see,

00:41:28.700 this player

00:41:29.380 that was

00:41:31.800 probably the icon of Sunday

00:41:34.540 wasn't making a statement.

00:41:41.180 He stood there with his hand over his heart because it was private

00:41:44.720 and personal.

00:41:48.100 Because it was about a private.

00:41:50.000 And when he saw that the press had captured that private moment,

00:41:58.640 he humbly apologized,

00:42:01.660 which is why we

00:42:03.160 and his coach

00:42:04.580 and his teammates

00:42:05.440 respect him even more.

00:42:10.580 Villanueva

00:42:11.180 undoubtedly was standing there

00:42:14.380 thinking back to Afghanistan 0.64

00:42:16.280 and the loss

00:42:17.560 of Private Dietrich.

00:42:18.900 Villanueva

00:42:22.920 has something that

00:42:24.380 the rest of America

00:42:26.000 is sorely missing.

00:42:31.500 Honor,

00:42:33.040 integrity,

00:42:34.660 and real perspective.

00:42:36.760 It's Tuesday,

00:42:48.520 September 26th.

00:42:50.360 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:42:53.560 Burgess Owens,

00:42:54.680 NFL Super Bowl champion,

00:42:56.480 author of Liberalism,

00:42:58.320 How to Turn Good Men into Whiners,

00:43:00.620 Weenies,

00:43:00.940 and Wimps joins us

00:43:03.280 now with some perspective

00:43:04.840 on what's happening

00:43:06.920 in the NFL.

00:43:07.800 Burgess, how are you, sir?

00:43:09.220 Glenn,

00:43:09.660 it's good to talk with you again,

00:43:10.620 you and Stu, for sure.

00:43:11.500 Hello.

00:43:12.140 So, Burgess,

00:43:12.980 tell us what you think

00:43:14.040 of what is

00:43:16.360 happening

00:43:17.480 and how we should be

00:43:19.480 handling this.

00:43:21.280 Well, you know,

00:43:22.380 first of all,

00:43:23.260 I enjoyed that recap.

00:43:24.760 And I was thinking

00:43:25.540 as you're going through it,

00:43:27.040 this is the American way.

00:43:28.220 This is what America

00:43:29.100 is made of.

00:43:30.900 And it starts with

00:43:31.920 one word

00:43:33.640 that I grew up with

00:43:34.980 back in the days

00:43:35.980 of segregation,

00:43:37.000 back when I was

00:43:37.900 walking to school early

00:43:38.980 to fold the flag

00:43:40.280 and to hold it reverently

00:43:41.480 and not let it

00:43:42.100 touch the ground.

00:43:43.080 It's called gratitude.

00:43:44.940 What you just described

00:43:46.280 was a young man

00:43:47.520 who has struggled,

00:43:50.040 has struggled

00:43:50.560 through the process

00:43:51.240 that he's gone through.

00:43:52.400 He's gotten to a point

00:43:53.020 where he can look back

00:43:53.580 and say,

00:43:53.840 I'm so glad to be here.

00:43:55.560 And this is what's missing

00:43:56.640 in the NFL today.

00:43:58.240 And I'll say this,

00:43:59.260 it's missing on purpose.

00:44:00.980 It's missing because

00:44:01.780 of policies that's given

00:44:02.800 these young men

00:44:03.460 that are now

00:44:04.000 coming out of misery,

00:44:05.500 making income,

00:44:06.600 and having no perspective

00:44:07.700 on the fact

00:44:08.240 that they now are living

00:44:09.740 in a country

00:44:10.300 where they can make a difference

00:44:11.300 because they don't have parents.

00:44:12.040 They don't have dads.

00:44:13.120 70% of them don't have a dad

00:44:14.300 who says,

00:44:14.760 this is how you act

00:44:16.140 and this is how you respond.

00:44:17.220 This is how we respectfully

00:44:18.340 give the ball back

00:44:19.400 to the rep.

00:44:20.340 This is how you stay humble.

00:44:21.820 They don't have dads

00:44:22.640 to do that the way I did.

00:44:24.300 And it's on purpose.

00:44:26.180 Go ahead.

00:44:26.680 Burgess,

00:44:27.820 I want to,

00:44:28.960 because you said something

00:44:29.880 right at the very beginning.

00:44:30.720 You said,

00:44:31.380 you know,

00:44:32.260 I respectfully folded the flag

00:44:34.780 during segregation.

00:44:37.300 as a guy who has the perspective

00:44:40.940 of living when the country

00:44:43.340 really was much worse

00:44:46.620 than it was,

00:44:47.280 than it is today.

00:44:48.720 And having that,

00:44:50.020 and then coming to grips

00:44:51.480 with all of that,

00:44:52.560 and still finding love of country,

00:44:55.680 how do you feel,

00:44:58.260 or how do you relate

00:44:59.380 to the people who,

00:45:01.260 you know,

00:45:01.520 are making millions of dollars,

00:45:03.060 you know,

00:45:04.720 and want safe zones everywhere

00:45:07.220 for their hurt feelings

00:45:09.120 when they haven't necessarily

00:45:11.160 gone through the things

00:45:12.420 that you and people

00:45:13.660 like Martin Luther King,

00:45:14.780 et cetera,

00:45:15.120 have gone through?

00:45:16.020 You know,

00:45:17.320 you and I have talked

00:45:18.060 about this,

00:45:19.200 and I'd say down,

00:45:21.260 it's really another word

00:45:22.260 called history,

00:45:23.140 understanding history.

00:45:24.460 You know,

00:45:24.760 when there's a connection

00:45:25.540 with a lineage

00:45:27.040 of people who have gone

00:45:27.920 through harder times

00:45:29.040 than you have,

00:45:29.880 you look back and say,

00:45:30.700 you know what,

00:45:31.200 if they can do it,

00:45:32.140 I can do it.

00:45:32.700 Very powerful nine words.

00:45:34.400 That says it all.

00:45:35.260 And I was able to grow up

00:45:36.960 in an environment

00:45:37.820 in which every single person

00:45:39.600 that I knew,

00:45:40.760 man,

00:45:40.900 our goal was to win.

00:45:42.180 I mean,

00:45:42.420 you know,

00:45:42.900 it didn't matter

00:45:44.000 what the struggle was

00:45:44.820 or the obstacle.

00:45:45.680 Matter of fact,

00:45:45.980 the higher the obstacle,

00:45:46.780 the more as a people,

00:45:48.100 we couldn't wait to win

00:45:49.220 and prove to others

00:45:50.380 and ourselves

00:45:50.980 how good we were.

00:45:52.660 We've lost that connection,

00:45:54.360 and it's been,

00:45:54.960 when you tear down

00:45:55.860 the family structure,

00:45:57.600 when you all of a sudden

00:45:58.580 have men thinking

00:45:59.900 it's okay

00:46:00.480 not to be a part of it,

00:46:01.800 not to stand up

00:46:02.840 and man up.

00:46:03.820 We have women 1.00

00:46:04.520 who don't expect

00:46:05.220 them to stand up

00:46:06.120 and man up,

00:46:06.540 but instead look

00:46:07.020 at the government.

00:46:08.040 You are truly

00:46:09.000 disconnecting

00:46:10.080 with a great heritage

00:46:10.940 that's really

00:46:11.640 the American heritage.

00:46:13.120 So what's happening now,

00:46:14.080 I'm not surprised.

00:46:14.760 We are now seeing

00:46:15.460 what's been going on

00:46:16.580 for the last two decades

00:46:17.700 within the black community.

00:46:19.120 They are now standing

00:46:19.800 on the sideline,

00:46:20.980 collectively making

00:46:21.780 billions of dollars,

00:46:23.260 and no one is thinking,

00:46:24.720 how can we together

00:46:25.700 make a difference

00:46:26.420 in our community?

00:46:27.060 How can we go back

00:46:27.760 and mentor these kids,

00:46:29.500 raise these kids,

00:46:30.240 make sure they're free

00:46:31.280 and excited for their future?

00:46:32.960 Because once you become

00:46:33.960 a socialist,

00:46:34.440 you don't think that way.

00:46:35.900 If you're making money,

00:46:37.540 you think you're all that

00:46:38.400 as an elitist,

00:46:39.920 and you just can't

00:46:41.000 see anybody rising

00:46:42.560 to the greatness

00:46:43.620 that you have risen to.

00:46:45.220 So we just have to

00:46:46.340 get the right message out

00:46:47.280 and talk about

00:46:48.020 our history a little bit better.

00:46:48.720 Let me take you here.

00:46:50.100 Yesterday, I said,

00:46:51.620 the President of the United States

00:46:53.600 has to recognize

00:46:54.320 that he's the President

00:46:55.620 of the United States,

00:46:57.260 and that requires

00:46:59.640 restraint and leadership

00:47:01.520 in everything that he does.

00:47:05.800 And instead of talking about

00:47:07.560 how great the country is

00:47:08.940 and the flag,

00:47:10.660 and we respect it,

00:47:11.480 and stop disrespecting it,

00:47:12.620 and calling names,

00:47:13.320 and everything else,

00:47:13.880 isn't there some responsibility

00:47:16.380 for people

00:47:17.040 on the other side

00:47:18.460 of this issue

00:47:19.060 to also say,

00:47:20.260 instead of making it

00:47:22.000 about the flag

00:47:22.780 and just condemning others,

00:47:24.860 how about we say,

00:47:26.340 I don't need you

00:47:27.320 to boycott the NFL.

00:47:29.340 How about we take

00:47:30.420 a Sunday,

00:47:31.280 any Sunday,

00:47:32.020 and we go find

00:47:33.520 a veterans hospital

00:47:35.680 or a veterans home,

00:47:36.740 and we take our families out

00:47:38.920 and we serve these guys

00:47:40.420 because it's not about the flag.

00:47:42.220 It is about the idea of America,

00:47:45.420 and the idea is

00:47:46.960 we're great because we're good,

00:47:48.920 and these guys gave us

00:47:50.500 a chance to be good,

00:47:52.000 so let's go serve.

00:47:53.560 The same could be said

00:47:54.860 with the players.

00:47:56.900 Why is everybody just protesting

00:48:02.840 instead of saying,

00:48:04.360 look, there's a problem

00:48:05.180 in our own community,

00:48:06.600 and we as now influential men

00:48:09.440 in our own community

00:48:10.480 and men with means

00:48:12.240 are going to go in.

00:48:13.700 We're going to mentor,

00:48:14.900 but we're also going to go in

00:48:15.860 and try to work with the police,

00:48:17.340 finding the good cops

00:48:18.260 and the bad cops,

00:48:19.120 and stand with the good cops,

00:48:20.440 and try to usher

00:48:22.160 the bad cops out.

00:48:24.080 You know, Gene,

00:48:25.100 you sound like you believe

00:48:26.600 in the Judeo-Christian values

00:48:27.660 our country is built upon.

00:48:29.280 I'm one of the few now, I think.

00:48:31.060 Yeah, and to that point,

00:48:33.460 there are people,

00:48:34.240 there are many millions

00:48:35.460 of Americans

00:48:35.940 that are doing exactly

00:48:36.880 what you just described

00:48:37.640 because we do believe

00:48:38.480 in our Judeo-Christian values.

00:48:39.780 We still believe

00:48:40.740 in a God in heaven

00:48:41.360 that's no respective person

00:48:42.460 and that our true self-esteem

00:48:45.980 is built on service,

00:48:47.080 but we also have to understand

00:48:48.480 that there's another side

00:48:49.300 of this picture

00:48:50.620 that's been fighting this

00:48:51.500 for over a century,

00:48:53.880 and it's Marxists,

00:48:54.740 socialists, and atheists,

00:48:56.080 and no,

00:48:56.440 they don't believe

00:48:57.080 in the way that we believe,

00:48:57.980 and they're all about stealth,

00:48:58.880 so what they will do

00:49:00.320 is they will destroy

00:49:01.340 a community,

00:49:02.620 have them dependent on them,

00:49:03.840 and then teach them

00:49:04.560 how to hate the rest

00:49:05.360 of the country

00:49:05.860 that's doing exactly

00:49:07.140 what you just mentioned

00:49:07.680 a minute ago.

00:49:08.580 So it is a fight

00:49:09.680 that we're fighting.

00:49:10.260 It's the soul of our country.

00:49:11.680 It is not black and white,

00:49:12.920 and you and I

00:49:13.260 have had this discussion.

00:49:14.680 It's about ideology.

00:49:16.220 It's about the spirit

00:49:17.100 that we're going to take

00:49:19.320 our country in in the future,

00:49:20.320 and I have faith

00:49:20.900 in American people

00:49:21.620 just like I have,

00:49:22.800 and I look back

00:49:23.240 over our great history.

00:49:24.540 We've always stepped

00:49:25.840 to the plate

00:49:26.260 once we knew

00:49:26.620 we were in a fight.

00:49:27.320 We now know

00:49:27.820 we're in a fight,

00:49:28.700 and it's about

00:49:29.200 not only the flag.

00:49:31.540 That's just where

00:49:32.100 we are now.

00:49:32.900 It started off with God

00:49:33.780 in the public square,

00:49:36.420 and then it was

00:49:36.800 about the family,

00:49:37.800 and then it's about

00:49:38.240 our history.

00:49:38.780 Do we really teach

00:49:39.360 our true history or not?

00:49:40.320 So far,

00:49:40.740 we've been losing

00:49:41.140 all those battles.

00:49:42.320 This is what we cannot

00:49:43.080 afford to lose.

00:49:43.820 So Burgess,

00:49:45.000 Burgess,

00:49:46.040 tell me the difference,

00:49:46.980 because as a guy

00:49:47.660 who grew up in the 60s,

00:49:49.140 tell me the difference

00:49:50.720 between being

00:49:53.640 uncomfortable

00:49:54.520 and being unsafe.

00:49:57.640 We're now,

00:49:58.640 people are asking

00:49:59.740 for safe zones.

00:50:01.560 You're not unsafe

00:50:02.900 unless you're in Berkeley.

00:50:04.200 You're not unsafe.

00:50:05.760 You're just uncomfortable,

00:50:07.060 and it's okay

00:50:09.040 to be uncomfortable.

00:50:11.280 No one should be unsafe

00:50:12.980 for what they believe,

00:50:14.880 but there's a huge difference.

00:50:17.840 Can you explain

00:50:18.540 to a generation

00:50:19.580 that maybe doesn't

00:50:20.620 understand the difference

00:50:21.680 between uncomfortability

00:50:23.460 and safety?

00:50:25.420 There is something

00:50:26.320 that many of us

00:50:28.340 grew up with

00:50:28.860 in the locker room.

00:50:30.420 When there's no pain,

00:50:31.360 there's no gain.

00:50:32.640 That's life.

00:50:33.700 You know,

00:50:33.860 life is truly

00:50:34.820 about how do we overcome

00:50:36.840 those obstacles we face,

00:50:38.100 those disappointments,

00:50:39.180 those betrayals,

00:50:40.140 those pain,

00:50:40.700 the pain that we go through

00:50:41.540 as a part of life.

00:50:42.620 How do we deal with it?

00:50:44.200 Now,

00:50:44.520 we were taught

00:50:45.140 you man up.

00:50:46.800 You get up,

00:50:47.300 and you go at it,

00:50:48.020 and matter of fact,

00:50:48.600 if you have fear,

00:50:49.180 you run toward it

00:50:49.900 as fast as you can.

00:50:51.320 Unfortunately,

00:50:51.740 we're not teaching

00:50:52.180 our kids to do that.

00:50:53.120 So the first time

00:50:53.740 they come with

00:50:54.480 all their education,

00:50:55.360 all their great feelings,

00:50:56.400 the first time

00:50:56.840 they hit pain,

00:50:57.720 they were to run

00:50:58.240 the other direction.

00:50:59.540 So some kind of way,

00:51:00.940 again,

00:51:01.300 and to me,

00:51:01.880 this comes down

00:51:02.340 to mentorship.

00:51:03.120 It comes down

00:51:03.540 to men stepping in

00:51:05.020 and doing their part.

00:51:07.200 My goal within

00:51:07.960 the black community 0.98

00:51:08.580 is to get black 0.96

00:51:10.060 conservative men 0.69

00:51:11.020 to stand in,

00:51:12.340 to mentor,

00:51:12.960 to educate,

00:51:13.820 to help these kids

00:51:14.440 when they start

00:51:14.800 having these decisions

00:51:16.280 on whether they're

00:51:16.680 going to quit or not,

00:51:17.400 to tell them,

00:51:17.880 hang in there,

00:51:18.380 take one more step.

00:51:19.680 As we give that message

00:51:21.300 and we're there

00:51:22.500 to kind of support

00:51:23.100 the process,

00:51:23.780 then we'll end up winning.

00:51:24.760 But it's going to come

00:51:25.200 down to heart-to-heart,

00:51:26.160 hand-to-hand.

00:51:26.960 It's not talking

00:51:28.220 this process through.

00:51:29.260 We're going to have

00:51:29.540 to really get in there

00:51:30.100 and do some heavy lifting.

00:51:32.360 And so that comes down

00:51:33.500 to being there

00:51:34.880 in those communities

00:51:35.640 to help these people

00:51:36.580 to make it through it.

00:51:37.320 How can people help you?

00:51:39.780 Well, I'll tell you,

00:51:40.640 I'm now just opening up

00:51:42.140 a chapter.

00:51:43.160 There's a group called

00:51:43.900 One Heart Project

00:51:45.400 that I think

00:51:46.680 is one of the greatest things

00:51:48.120 is helping young men

00:51:48.980 and women

00:51:49.320 come out of

00:51:49.980 Corrections Center

00:51:50.580 and have a place to go,

00:51:52.380 have hope.

00:51:53.780 And that's what our country

00:51:54.440 is all about,

00:51:54.840 a second chance.

00:51:55.880 So we're just getting

00:51:57.000 a chapter started

00:51:58.340 in Salt Lake City.

00:51:59.420 There's a chapter in Dallas.

00:52:00.780 I think it's one

00:52:01.400 of the greatest things

00:52:02.000 we can do

00:52:02.420 to help our men,

00:52:03.520 our young boys and girls

00:52:04.660 to finally come through.

00:52:06.100 And those are going to be

00:52:06.780 the champions for us

00:52:08.140 because once they get this

00:52:09.080 and they get their second chance,

00:52:10.420 you're going to find

00:52:11.040 a stronger advocate

00:52:11.880 than these young men

00:52:12.840 and women

00:52:13.200 that understand

00:52:14.000 the American ways

00:52:14.680 about second chances.

00:52:15.740 Next time you're in Dallas,

00:52:16.720 come by and see me

00:52:17.440 and let's explore

00:52:20.160 how we can help you on that.

00:52:22.020 We will do that.

00:52:22.680 All right, buddy.

00:52:23.160 Thanks a lot, Burgess.

00:52:23.540 Good talking to you, Glenn.

00:52:24.460 Good talking to you, bye-bye.

00:52:25.140 Bye-bye.

00:52:33.240 Burgess Owens

00:52:34.040 is an NFL Super Bowl champion.

00:52:36.320 Sadly, of course,

00:52:37.140 he defeated

00:52:37.560 the Philadelphia Eagles

00:52:38.360 for that title,

00:52:39.100 but that's a whole other story.

00:52:40.240 He's the author of Liberalism.

00:52:41.460 That's why you didn't say anything.

00:52:42.500 I know.

00:52:43.840 Liberalism or

00:52:44.400 how to turn good men 0.97

00:52:45.720 into whiners, 0.99

00:52:46.580 weenies and wimps 0.97

00:52:47.220 and you could probably 0.59

00:52:47.960 call me one of those

00:52:48.780 after that particular sell.

00:52:51.460 The Equifax breach

00:52:52.960 could affect

00:52:53.780 143 million Americans

00:52:56.640 and so far,

00:52:57.560 the organization

00:52:58.060 has determined

00:52:58.960 that the credit card numbers

00:53:00.140 for about 200,000 consumers,

00:53:02.080 personal data,

00:53:03.240 social security numbers,

00:53:05.120 they're out

00:53:06.080 and they're never coming back.

00:53:07.500 Is your name part of that?

00:53:09.820 Someone's identity

00:53:10.740 is stolen

00:53:11.340 every two seconds.

00:53:12.880 This was a big theft.

00:53:16.200 This is game-changing

00:53:17.340 in the identity circles.

00:53:19.480 LifeLock detects

00:53:20.460 a wide range

00:53:21.440 of identity thefts

00:53:22.580 and if there is a problem,

00:53:23.700 they have somebody

00:53:24.520 that is here

00:53:25.240 in the United States

00:53:26.040 that is going to

00:53:27.260 help restore it

00:53:28.180 and fix it.

00:53:29.100 Now, nobody can prevent

00:53:30.040 all identity theft,

00:53:30.980 nobody can monitor

00:53:31.640 all transactions

00:53:32.320 and all businesses,

00:53:56.280 Glenn Beck.

00:54:07.900 Glenn Beck.

00:54:10.060 The woman who said

00:54:11.020 Hobby Lobby cotton decoration

00:54:12.500 last week is racist

00:54:14.060 has spoken out.

00:54:16.540 It doesn't represent

00:54:17.460 a decoration to me.

00:54:19.020 It represents a time

00:54:20.740 of oppression

00:54:21.660 for my people.

00:54:23.160 I was not trying

00:54:23.760 to be divisive.

00:54:24.620 If I was trying

00:54:25.100 to be divisive,

00:54:25.880 I would have said

00:54:26.480 something to the effect

00:54:27.560 of talking about the world,

00:54:29.060 talking about race relations,

00:54:30.460 talking about an individual.

00:54:32.000 I am a consumer

00:54:33.060 talking to a retailer

00:54:35.340 and all I said

00:54:36.360 was I found

00:54:36.960 something offensive.

00:54:38.440 If you really want

00:54:39.200 the country to heal,

00:54:40.080 then you need to be mindful

00:54:41.220 of how you speak.

00:54:42.620 Words Have Power

00:54:43.340 is no longer

00:54:44.240 about the raw cotton.

00:54:46.060 The cotton is off the shelf

00:54:47.020 and racism remains there.

00:54:48.400 So I'm still going

00:54:49.040 to be happy

00:54:49.480 and I'm still going

00:54:50.060 to make a change

00:54:50.620 in the world.

00:54:51.780 Okay.

00:54:52.580 All right.

00:54:53.980 Can we play that again?

00:54:54.720 I want to hear

00:54:55.360 the first about

00:54:56.340 eight seconds.

00:54:56.960 I want you to listen

00:54:57.400 carefully to what she said.

00:54:58.320 It doesn't represent

00:54:59.220 a decoration to me.

00:55:00.620 It represents

00:55:01.620 a time of oppression

00:55:03.420 for my people.

00:55:05.000 I was not.

00:55:06.020 Do you notice

00:55:06.400 what she said?

00:55:08.000 This represents

00:55:09.840 dot dot dot

00:55:11.800 to me.

00:55:15.720 Well,

00:55:16.260 that can represent

00:55:17.060 a lot of things

00:55:17.860 to a lot of people.

00:55:19.200 We don't have to project

00:55:22.400 our feelings

00:55:23.980 on other people.

00:55:27.020 I wouldn't not

00:55:28.060 have thought of,

00:55:29.040 you know,

00:55:30.400 cotton as the,

00:55:32.240 you know,

00:55:32.620 racist symbol

00:55:33.480 that she does.

00:55:34.720 I think most people

00:55:35.920 wouldn't.

00:55:36.240 In fact,

00:55:36.920 a lot of cotton farmers

00:55:38.120 around the world,

00:55:39.040 you know,

00:55:41.240 are white.

00:55:43.300 Cotton actually

00:55:44.700 helped end

00:55:46.140 slavery.

00:55:46.920 Let me say

00:55:47.940 that again.

00:55:48.980 Cotton actually

00:55:50.300 helped end

00:55:51.500 slavery because

00:55:52.840 the South said

00:55:53.980 the world is so

00:55:54.800 enslaved to American 0.96

00:55:55.840 cotton that

00:55:57.060 they're going to

00:55:57.500 need it.

00:55:58.120 And so we're

00:55:58.620 going to go to

00:55:59.060 Europe and we're

00:55:59.680 going to say

00:56:00.060 you're not going

00:56:00.540 to get any cotton

00:56:01.300 unless you defend

00:56:02.260 us.

00:56:04.640 England and France

00:56:05.520 said,

00:56:05.900 I don't think so.

00:56:07.080 I don't think so.

00:56:09.620 Cotton changed

00:56:11.300 the world.

00:56:12.840 Cotton helped 1.00

00:56:13.720 end slavery.

00:56:15.060 That's another

00:56:15.800 way to look

00:56:16.280 at it.

00:56:18.860 It's her

00:56:19.940 personal viewpoint.

00:56:22.420 Okay,

00:56:23.060 I can see how

00:56:24.000 you see that.

00:56:24.840 I don't agree

00:56:25.600 with you,

00:56:26.180 but you don't

00:56:27.280 have a right

00:56:27.900 to dictate

00:56:28.700 to everyone

00:56:29.960 else.

00:56:31.120 And I think

00:56:32.020 we really need

00:56:32.760 to grow a

00:56:33.580 little thicker

00:56:34.240 skin.

00:56:36.440 I think

00:56:37.400 Frederick

00:56:37.860 Douglas

00:56:38.380 might have

00:56:40.320 a problem

00:56:40.980 with somebody

00:56:41.960 comparing

00:56:42.780 this

00:56:44.040 cotton

00:56:45.580 in a vase

00:56:46.720 and Hobby

00:56:47.520 Lobby

00:56:47.940 with racism

00:56:49.440 and oppression.

00:56:50.700 I think

00:56:51.360 he might have

00:56:52.120 said,

00:56:52.860 you know what,

00:56:53.240 I'm going to

00:56:53.560 let that one 0.60

00:56:54.100 go.

00:56:54.700 Maybe you

00:56:55.100 should too.

00:56:56.000 I do have

00:56:56.280 a problem

00:56:56.600 with Hobby

00:56:57.060 Lobby forcing

00:56:57.700 her to buy 0.97

00:56:58.220 it,

00:56:58.420 though.

00:56:58.600 I mean,

00:56:58.840 it's her money 0.66

00:56:59.720 and she should

00:57:00.260 be able to

00:57:00.760 walk into a

00:57:01.440 store and

00:57:01.980 purchase

00:57:02.260 what she

00:57:02.740 wants.

00:57:03.260 They didn't.

00:57:03.880 So she

00:57:04.200 didn't actually

00:57:04.860 purchase this

00:57:05.440 product.

00:57:05.680 No, and

00:57:05.860 in fact,

00:57:06.600 did you hear

00:57:07.220 what she went

00:57:07.680 on to say?

00:57:08.600 Hobby Lobby

00:57:09.600 took this

00:57:10.620 off the

00:57:11.100 shelf,

00:57:11.600 which is

00:57:11.760 so they

00:57:12.100 were they

00:57:12.780 were sensitive

00:57:13.500 to what

00:57:14.300 she was

00:57:15.180 feeling.

00:57:16.200 They decided

00:57:17.260 that she

00:57:18.100 was more

00:57:18.640 important than

00:57:19.360 what everybody

00:57:19.840 else might

00:57:20.420 feel.

00:57:21.320 They took

00:57:22.080 it off and

00:57:22.520 she said,

00:57:23.160 and yet the

00:57:23.960 racism remains.

00:57:25.320 She's still

00:57:25.600 pissed.

00:57:26.320 She's still 0.94

00:57:26.720 pissed.

00:57:27.720 You can't 0.73

00:57:28.040 look,

00:57:28.620 you're you

00:57:29.480 we have to

00:57:30.580 understand you're

00:57:32.220 dealing with

00:57:32.780 people who

00:57:33.660 want to be

00:57:34.980 angry,

00:57:35.520 who want

00:57:37.720 revenge,

00:57:38.600 and this is

00:57:39.460 on all sides

00:57:40.260 of all the

00:57:40.780 issues.

00:57:41.680 Don't be

00:57:42.380 one of those

00:57:42.980 people.

00:57:45.020 Glenn

00:57:45.460 Beck.

00:57:53.720 This is the

00:57:54.540 Glenn Beck

00:57:57.440 Brad Meltzer,

00:57:59.180 who first I

00:58:00.720 think met

00:58:01.080 Glenn when

00:58:01.660 they were

00:58:01.960 trying to

00:58:02.320 save Superman's

00:58:03.200 house, which

00:58:03.680 was successful,

00:58:04.440 by the way.

00:58:04.820 Yes, it was.

00:58:05.240 It's a good

00:58:05.480 story.

00:58:05.780 You should

00:58:05.860 tell that

00:58:06.120 sometime.

00:58:06.920 Brad is,

00:58:07.660 of course,

00:58:25.100 He joins us

00:58:25.580 on the

00:58:25.800 program.

00:58:26.380 Hey, Brad,

00:58:27.240 I always like

00:58:28.160 talking to you

00:58:28.620 because you

00:58:29.040 always bring

00:58:29.520 something cool

00:58:30.140 about history

00:58:30.900 to the table.

00:58:32.840 I wanted to

00:58:33.460 ask you,

00:58:35.020 if you can,

00:58:36.280 can you put

00:58:37.240 us in a

00:58:40.480 time frame

00:58:41.680 from history?

00:58:42.960 Do you see

00:58:43.720 the West

00:58:44.500 and where

00:58:44.980 America is

00:58:45.700 today as

00:58:47.320 repeating any

00:58:50.080 time in history

00:58:50.980 from any

00:58:51.460 country?

00:58:53.380 You know,

00:58:53.980 that's a really

00:58:54.540 good question.

00:58:55.180 I want to give

00:58:55.460 you a thoughtful

00:58:55.960 answer rather

00:58:56.520 than a quick

00:58:56.980 one.

00:58:57.240 But for me,

00:58:58.000 where I see

00:58:58.560 us today,

00:59:00.820 I was reading

00:59:02.360 this morning,

00:59:02.900 it was an

00:59:03.280 incredible

00:59:03.680 article about

00:59:04.720 the context

00:59:05.700 of looking at

00:59:06.540 the civil

00:59:06.920 rights movement

00:59:07.560 and compared

00:59:08.100 to today.

00:59:09.000 And I'm not

00:59:09.400 talking about

00:59:09.760 picking which

00:59:10.180 side's right

00:59:10.660 at all.

00:59:11.320 What I'm

00:59:11.720 simply talking

00:59:12.360 about,

00:59:12.600 because I've

00:59:12.800 been obsessed

00:59:13.180 with protests

00:59:13.860 lately,

00:59:14.820 for obvious

00:59:15.560 reasons,

00:59:16.400 but is at

00:59:17.120 the time of

00:59:17.760 the March

00:59:18.200 on Washington,

00:59:19.420 and I would

00:59:20.740 have thought

00:59:20.980 the exact

00:59:21.340 opposite,

00:59:22.500 that 60% 0.64

00:59:24.020 of the people

00:59:24.680 who were

00:59:25.040 against it,

00:59:25.680 only 20

00:59:26.400 something percent

00:59:27.240 supported Dr.

00:59:28.420 King or the

00:59:29.100 March.

00:59:29.400 I thought it

00:59:29.660 was a terrible

00:59:30.240 idea.

00:59:31.240 And it's only

00:59:31.800 through history

00:59:32.460 and looking

00:59:32.880 backwards do

00:59:34.300 we look,

00:59:34.800 and I know

00:59:35.140 your great

00:59:35.960 heroes,

00:59:36.280 my great

00:59:36.620 heroes too,

00:59:37.400 the heroes

00:59:37.960 of the

00:59:38.200 civil rights

00:59:38.560 movement,

00:59:39.440 but to

00:59:40.640 look at

00:59:41.280 that and

00:59:41.760 realize how

00:59:42.420 wrong we

00:59:42.980 had it at

00:59:43.420 that moment.

00:59:44.360 Even two

00:59:45.060 years later,

00:59:46.360 the numbers

00:59:47.860 were only

00:59:48.200 starting to

00:59:48.680 change.

00:59:49.200 It wasn't

00:59:49.580 like some

00:59:49.920 magical change

00:59:50.640 that happened

00:59:51.040 and a speech

00:59:51.480 was given

00:59:51.880 and glory

00:59:52.780 was heard.

00:59:53.920 It's an

00:59:54.420 incredible

00:59:54.820 thing.

00:59:55.240 So to me,

00:59:55.700 that's the

00:59:56.400 context I'm

00:59:57.040 looking at

00:59:57.380 now,

00:59:57.620 is that

00:59:57.820 sometimes we're

00:59:58.440 in the midst

00:59:58.820 of history,

01:00:00.480 one side is

01:00:01.800 going to be

01:00:02.060 proven wrong,

01:00:02.460 right here

01:00:02.960 in the history

01:00:04.120 books,

01:00:04.440 and it's

01:00:04.860 going to be

01:00:05.120 fascinating to

01:00:05.860 watch.

01:00:06.260 Do you have

01:00:08.180 any inkling,

01:00:09.280 because it's

01:00:09.660 so strange,

01:00:10.400 you and I

01:00:10.740 think so

01:00:11.080 much alike,

01:00:11.560 Brad.

01:00:11.820 I was just

01:00:12.660 pondering the

01:00:13.720 same thing

01:00:14.740 over the

01:00:15.940 last two

01:00:16.400 weeks.

01:00:17.360 You have to

01:00:18.120 be,

01:00:18.340 you have to

01:00:18.840 be,

01:00:19.040 right?

01:00:19.300 Because you're

01:00:20.020 such a big

01:00:20.620 fan,

01:00:20.840 you and I

01:00:21.100 both,

01:00:21.820 you know,

01:00:22.040 those civil

01:00:22.440 rights icons

01:00:22.960 are heroes

01:00:23.560 to us.

01:00:24.500 But at the

01:00:24.800 time,

01:00:25.140 what I realized,

01:00:26.120 especially with

01:00:26.580 Gandhi and

01:00:26.960 everything else,

01:00:27.560 is that,

01:00:28.220 and it said

01:00:28.740 it in this

01:00:29.100 article,

01:00:29.500 I'm going to

01:00:29.800 send it to you

01:00:32.460 basically said

01:00:33.220 is that any

01:00:34.220 protest,

01:00:35.340 any protest

01:00:36.220 has to be

01:00:37.620 unaccepted by

01:00:38.360 the people,

01:00:38.940 that's why it's

01:00:39.440 a protest.

01:00:40.560 And so it's

01:00:40.980 always going to

01:00:41.680 be a small

01:00:42.400 minority that's

01:00:43.160 doing it.

01:00:43.640 It can't ever

01:00:44.380 be,

01:00:44.640 there's no

01:00:45.000 protest that

01:00:45.620 exists that

01:00:46.100 goes,

01:00:46.740 yeah,

01:00:46.980 everyone's for

01:00:47.660 it,

01:00:47.780 because then

01:00:48.280 it's not a

01:00:48.680 protest.

01:00:49.660 And I was

01:00:50.260 like,

01:00:50.500 wait,

01:00:50.700 we have to

01:00:51.420 take a

01:00:51.940 moment and

01:00:52.900 look,

01:00:53.320 and I always

01:00:54.200 say to people

01:00:55.180 on Twitter all

01:00:55.680 the time,

01:00:56.060 you may not

01:00:56.680 agree with it.

01:00:57.400 Obviously,

01:00:57.940 you and I have

01:00:58.360 great love for

01:00:58.960 the American

01:00:59.320 flag,

01:00:59.660 we may not

01:01:00.060 agree with

01:01:00.600 it,

01:01:02.460 support

01:01:03.220 anyone's

01:01:03.660 right to

01:01:04.020 a peaceful

01:01:04.560 protest,

01:01:05.560 a peaceful

01:01:06.000 one.

01:01:06.580 And obviously,

01:01:07.260 you know,

01:01:07.460 there's arguments

01:01:08.040 in there,

01:01:08.480 and there's

01:01:08.680 things I

01:01:09.000 really don't

01:01:09.460 like that

01:01:09.760 are going

01:01:09.980 on right

01:01:10.320 now,

01:01:10.500 but it

01:01:10.820 is an

01:01:11.080 incredible,

01:01:12.200 incredible

01:01:12.680 world we

01:01:13.180 live in

01:01:13.460 right now,

01:01:14.020 especially when

01:01:14.600 you look at

01:01:14.940 it in that

01:01:15.220 historical

01:01:15.560 context.

01:01:16.200 When you

01:01:16.460 look at

01:01:16.820 the greats,

01:01:17.720 when you

01:01:18.020 look at

01:01:18.460 Martin Luther

01:01:18.940 King,

01:01:19.420 et cetera,

01:01:20.560 you see

01:01:22.240 that there

01:01:22.760 was a great

01:01:23.940 injustice

01:01:24.820 going on,

01:01:26.040 and he

01:01:27.180 was pretty

01:01:28.740 pure of

01:01:29.240 heart on

01:01:30.060 this,

01:01:30.980 and the

01:01:31.860 same thing

01:01:32.280 could be

01:01:32.560 said for

01:01:32.900 Dietrich

01:01:33.280 Bonhoeffer

01:01:34.020 and other

01:01:35.220 great leaders.

01:01:38.620 You know,

01:01:38.860 Colin Kaepernick

01:01:39.840 is not

01:01:42.160 necessarily

01:01:42.900 that guy,

01:01:44.560 and most

01:01:46.640 people who

01:01:47.120 are following

01:01:47.760 don't really

01:01:49.280 have any

01:01:50.060 idea of

01:01:51.780 what they

01:01:52.900 are protesting.

01:01:54.720 It's weird

01:01:55.980 because it's

01:01:56.540 become almost

01:01:57.160 like a

01:01:57.600 hashtag where

01:01:58.940 you don't

01:01:59.300 really have

01:02:00.120 to do

01:02:00.480 anything.

01:02:01.340 I mean,

01:02:01.700 the great

01:02:02.200 leaders actually

01:02:03.460 went out,

01:02:04.260 they actually

01:02:05.060 suffered,

01:02:06.600 and they

01:02:06.920 taught people

01:02:10.140 how to be

01:02:11.880 decent human

01:02:13.340 beings and

01:02:14.520 what the

01:02:14.980 struggle was

01:02:15.540 really all

01:02:16.020 about.

01:02:16.340 And listen,

01:02:17.620 you couldn't

01:02:17.880 have said it

01:02:18.240 better,

01:02:18.500 think of it

01:02:19.060 like this.

01:02:19.420 I mean,

01:02:19.600 listen,

01:02:19.960 talk about

01:02:20.540 the math,

01:02:20.980 the one who

01:02:21.280 inspired Dr.

01:02:22.300 King is

01:02:22.720 Gandhi.

01:02:23.400 That's who

01:02:23.780 inspired him.

01:02:24.560 And the reason

01:02:25.400 we adore

01:02:25.920 Gandhi,

01:02:26.340 the reason we

01:02:26.900 adore Dr.

01:02:27.620 King is

01:02:28.960 because of

01:02:30.120 the teachings

01:02:30.940 that they

01:02:31.380 brought with

01:02:31.980 them.

01:02:32.220 You know,

01:02:32.340 the reason I

01:02:32.880 wrote I'm

01:02:33.500 Gandhi is

01:02:34.420 because we're

01:02:34.780 a culture at

01:02:35.400 war right now.

01:02:36.400 We're a culture

01:02:36.960 that has stopped

01:02:37.720 listening to each

01:02:38.660 other.

01:02:39.280 So this is the

01:02:40.060 book I wrote to

01:02:40.760 remind my own

01:02:41.500 kids and parents

01:02:42.800 out there that no

01:02:43.720 one wins in a

01:02:44.500 fight.

01:02:44.760 And the reason

01:02:45.780 Dr.

01:02:46.320 King worked

01:02:47.380 the way he

01:02:47.820 did and the

01:02:48.340 reason Gandhi

01:02:49.140 worked the way

01:02:49.700 they did is,

01:02:50.880 you know,

01:02:51.080 Gandhi called

01:02:52.040 it,

01:02:52.620 he had a

01:02:53.260 philosophy behind

01:02:54.160 it.

01:02:54.280 It wasn't just

01:02:54.640 I'm pissed at

01:02:55.240 something and I

01:02:56.040 want to take

01:02:56.420 action.

01:02:57.360 He had something

01:02:58.120 called sutra

01:02:58.860 gruha,

01:02:59.580 which translated

01:03:00.640 meant his

01:03:01.440 truth force.

01:03:02.800 Now,

01:03:03.040 I love this

01:03:03.680 idea,

01:03:04.040 a truth force.

01:03:05.480 And his

01:03:06.000 truth force was

01:03:06.700 made up of

01:03:07.160 three parts.

01:03:07.780 You can learn

01:03:08.280 from it.

01:03:08.880 Civil disobedience,

01:03:10.620 non-possession,

01:03:11.420 which is why he

01:03:11.940 wore a cloth.

01:03:12.580 You don't need

01:03:13.040 big fancy things.

01:03:13.880 You don't need

01:03:14.160 to be rich and

01:03:14.740 show off.

01:03:15.540 And the most

01:03:15.980 important to me,

01:03:17.480 non-violence,

01:03:18.280 which he called

01:03:19.000 love.

01:03:19.640 And Dr.

01:03:20.040 King called

01:03:20.460 love.

01:03:21.420 And that's what

01:03:22.280 they're spreading.

01:03:23.240 That's what

01:03:23.720 they're teaching.

01:03:24.940 And what we're

01:03:25.600 seeing now in

01:03:26.440 the culture is,

01:03:27.220 you know,

01:03:27.500 I actually don't

01:03:28.260 think it's about,

01:03:29.380 I think what

01:03:29.980 started as,

01:03:30.700 you know,

01:03:30.880 about race and

01:03:31.720 what started as

01:03:32.560 what may have

01:03:33.020 been something

01:03:33.400 about the flag

01:03:34.200 personally,

01:03:35.160 I believe has

01:03:36.040 been transformed

01:03:37.100 in the last

01:03:37.800 week that the

01:03:38.900 protest is about

01:03:39.620 one man and

01:03:40.280 it's about the

01:03:40.720 president.

01:03:41.220 Yes.

01:03:41.560 That's what the

01:03:42.080 protest is about

01:03:42.800 now.

01:03:43.200 Okay.

01:03:43.460 It started one

01:03:44.300 way.

01:03:44.580 It started with

01:03:45.400 Kaepernick.

01:03:46.220 But the reason

01:03:47.000 Jerry Jones is

01:03:47.920 kneeling and the

01:03:48.680 reason Dale Earnhardt

01:03:50.040 Jr.

01:03:50.280 is saying you

01:03:51.240 should allow

01:03:51.900 take a knee and

01:03:52.680 the reason you're

01:03:53.280 seeing, you know,

01:03:53.920 many conservatives

01:03:54.560 now coming out is

01:03:56.020 because it's not

01:03:57.740 about, it's not

01:03:59.140 about the flag.

01:03:59.960 It's not about the

01:04:00.580 anthem.

01:04:00.780 But it's basically

01:04:01.920 trying, you know,

01:04:02.900 they're fed up with

01:04:03.800 a man who's

01:04:04.460 saying, I don't

01:04:05.380 want you to

01:04:05.840 protest.

01:04:06.240 And that's going

01:04:06.620 to make people

01:04:07.880 really upset.

01:04:08.800 And that's what,

01:04:09.200 you know, I think

01:04:09.560 what we're seeing

01:04:10.160 is a transformation

01:04:10.780 of what the

01:04:11.360 protest is.

01:04:13.340 Have we already

01:04:14.480 lost the

01:04:15.480 Western culture

01:04:17.360 when people

01:04:20.200 look at, I

01:04:21.720 mean, the

01:04:21.960 Western, the

01:04:23.380 Western culture

01:04:24.280 and especially

01:04:24.980 America, but the 0.64

01:04:28.300 Western culture as

01:04:29.560 America has always 0.89

01:04:31.000 projected it is

01:04:32.120 that the good

01:04:33.580 guys win, the

01:04:36.140 humble guy wins,

01:04:37.940 the quiet one who

01:04:40.100 is never picking a

01:04:41.600 fight, only comes

01:04:42.760 to the fight when

01:04:43.800 they absolutely

01:04:44.660 have to.

01:04:46.700 And the

01:04:47.920 peacemaker is the

01:04:50.060 blessed one.

01:04:51.360 When our culture

01:04:52.680 rejects now the

01:04:54.840 peacemaker and says,

01:04:56.600 I need a strong man 0.99

01:04:57.760 to go punch them 1.00

01:04:58.580 in the face. 1.00

01:04:59.560 Have we already

01:05:00.820 lost?

01:05:01.580 We have a problem.

01:05:02.460 Yeah, we have a

01:05:02.940 problem, right?

01:05:03.500 I mean, that's what,

01:05:04.480 you know, I wrote

01:05:05.260 that when I started

01:05:06.380 this children's book,

01:05:07.320 I am Gandhi.

01:05:08.120 I had no idea where

01:05:09.040 the culture would be.

01:05:09.660 I started this a year

01:05:10.400 ago.

01:05:11.360 And I can tell you

01:05:13.340 that what it's all

01:05:15.120 about and celebrates

01:05:15.960 is that idea of the

01:05:17.860 peacemaker.

01:05:18.520 We've gotten away from

01:05:19.440 it and we automatically

01:05:20.460 lose when we're

01:05:22.020 fighting.

01:05:22.580 You know, my

01:05:23.060 favorite line in the

01:05:23.980 whole book, it

01:05:25.460 says, and I need to

01:05:28.580 read it to you, but

01:05:29.280 it literally says

01:05:30.320 that, you know,

01:05:31.920 Gandhi was the

01:05:32.460 small one, the

01:05:33.140 skinny one, the

01:05:33.960 poor one, even the

01:05:34.800 shy one, but he

01:05:35.340 was never the

01:05:35.980 weak one.

01:05:36.520 And here's the

01:05:36.980 line.

01:05:37.260 It says, strength

01:05:37.960 doesn't come from

01:05:38.860 the size of your

01:05:39.620 body.

01:05:40.480 It comes from the

01:05:41.500 size of your

01:05:42.020 heart.

01:05:43.000 Show love, especially

01:05:44.060 when you want to

01:05:44.680 fight on fairness.

01:05:46.440 And to me, I need

01:05:47.480 my kids to learn

01:05:48.280 that.

01:05:48.640 That's what I am

01:05:49.200 Gandhi is about.

01:05:50.000 And one of the

01:05:50.660 things that I love

01:05:51.920 about when I was

01:05:52.780 researching Gandhi,

01:05:53.680 again, a footnote

01:05:54.340 of history that I

01:05:54.980 know you'll

01:05:55.280 appreciate, is, of

01:05:57.120 course, we know

01:05:57.560 it's a peaceful

01:05:58.100 protest.

01:05:58.680 He's, you know,

01:05:59.080 he's fasting and

01:06:00.040 he's marching.

01:06:00.900 But my favorite

01:06:01.820 thing he does, and

01:06:02.860 I never knew this

01:06:03.500 story, is one of

01:06:05.320 his greatest

01:06:05.760 adversaries was a

01:06:07.280 guy named General

01:06:07.860 Smuts. 0.88

01:06:08.900 And General Smuts

01:06:09.980 is the one who had

01:06:10.700 Gandhi arrested and

01:06:12.100 put him in prison and

01:06:13.100 always tried to keep

01:06:13.920 him down.

01:06:14.520 It was literally like

01:06:15.460 his arch nemesis.

01:06:16.560 I mean, the name

01:06:17.860 sounds like a

01:06:19.240 cartoon.

01:06:19.920 I mean, Smuts is

01:06:21.480 like, yeah, you're

01:06:22.660 you are in a comic

01:06:23.960 book.

01:06:25.040 Right.

01:06:25.440 He's literally got

01:06:26.060 the twirly mustache

01:06:26.760 and laser shark.

01:06:27.780 He's got everything

01:06:28.680 right.

01:06:29.420 And this guy at

01:06:31.120 one point, Gandhi

01:06:33.040 makes a pair.

01:06:34.060 He used to make

01:06:34.540 things, you know, he

01:06:35.460 made a pair of

01:06:36.100 leather sandals and

01:06:37.700 he gives it to his

01:06:38.720 arch nemesis, General

01:06:40.320 Smuts. 0.88

01:06:41.260 And he says, why

01:06:42.180 are you giving me

01:06:42.780 this?

01:06:43.080 And he says, I

01:06:43.560 made them as a

01:06:44.160 sign of friendship

01:06:44.880 better to make

01:06:46.040 friends than to make

01:06:47.680 enemies.

01:06:48.020 And the great part of

01:06:48.800 the story, my kids

01:06:49.560 were fascinated when

01:06:50.400 they read this to

01:06:50.940 them.

01:06:51.440 But the best part of

01:06:52.500 the story is that he

01:06:53.500 wears them for 20

01:06:54.360 years, the general

01:06:55.240 does.

01:06:55.900 And 20 years later, he

01:06:57.720 gives them back to

01:06:58.660 Gandhi.

01:06:59.600 And Gandhi says, why

01:07:00.340 are you giving them

01:07:00.840 back?

01:07:01.180 And he says, because I

01:07:02.320 wasn't worthy of

01:07:03.960 wearing the gift in the

01:07:05.520 shoes of such a great

01:07:06.960 man.

01:07:07.540 Wow.

01:07:07.880 And I love that at the

01:07:09.080 height of all of his

01:07:10.040 anger, and especially,

01:07:11.100 you know, we all on both

01:07:12.060 sides right now are at

01:07:13.740 the height of our

01:07:14.260 anger.

01:07:14.700 Whatever side you're on,

01:07:15.680 you're at the height of

01:07:16.160 your anger.

01:07:16.920 And the one thing I try

01:07:18.200 to do every day is, and I

01:07:20.540 say it all the time, I put

01:07:21.680 this on my Twitter feed and

01:07:22.740 Facebook feed, we need to

01:07:24.360 be better than what

01:07:25.520 angers you.

01:07:26.500 Be better than what

01:07:27.480 angers you.

01:07:28.380 It is vital.

01:07:30.160 Brad Meltzer, author of

01:07:31.020 the book, I am Gandhi

01:07:31.840 for kids, and I am

01:07:32.820 Sakawajia.

01:07:33.580 There's a whole series of

01:07:34.800 I am books for kids.

01:07:36.440 Let me take this a

01:07:37.340 different direction on

01:07:38.160 Gandhi.

01:07:38.940 Right now, we are

01:07:39.900 talking about pulling

01:07:40.800 down statues of Thomas

01:07:42.360 Jefferson, who, yes, was

01:07:43.840 a slave owner.

01:07:44.980 Yes, was a deeply

01:07:45.940 conflicted man, but was

01:07:48.100 also one of the greatest

01:07:49.060 men to live in his day

01:07:51.580 and freed much of the

01:07:54.200 world with his thoughts.

01:07:57.580 We're talking about

01:07:58.480 pulling statues down, and

01:08:00.140 it's because we're

01:08:01.120 judging them and saying,

01:08:03.120 yeah, well, everything

01:08:03.980 else we have to dismiss.

01:08:06.360 Brad, Gandhi was one of 1.00

01:08:09.500 the biggest racists 0.99

01:08:13.440 against blacks out there. 0.99

01:08:16.360 the things that he said, 0.94

01:08:18.120 and he was just blind to

01:08:19.400 it.

01:08:19.660 He was blind to it.

01:08:20.680 He goes to Africa, and 0.81

01:08:22.080 he does not see that the 0.61

01:08:25.180 way blacks are being 1.00

01:08:26.700 treated in Africa is the 0.96

01:08:28.960 way his people are being 0.99

01:08:30.620 treated in India.

01:08:31.640 He doesn't equate that at

01:08:33.220 all, but that doesn't

01:08:34.620 mean we dismiss the great

01:08:35.940 things about him.

01:08:37.500 Yeah, of course, and

01:08:39.600 same about, of course,

01:08:41.100 one of my heroes, Thomas

01:08:42.000 Jefferson, you know, our

01:08:43.020 mutual love for him, and

01:08:44.260 to me, it comes down to

01:08:45.540 this, is if, you know,

01:08:47.320 when I started writing

01:08:48.080 this series, and people

01:08:49.400 said, and one of the

01:08:50.020 first people I did, you

01:08:50.720 know, was George

01:08:51.320 Washington, and people

01:08:53.340 said, well, you know,

01:08:54.100 slave owner, this, that,

01:08:54.860 and I said, listen, if

01:08:55.520 you are looking for

01:08:56.780 someone who's perfect,

01:08:58.320 you're not looking at a

01:08:59.300 human being.

01:08:59.800 The only one who's

01:09:00.280 perfect is God, period.

01:09:02.300 Okay?

01:09:02.700 That's it.

01:09:03.860 Anyone else you give me,

01:09:05.060 I will find a flaw, and

01:09:06.040 some are going to be

01:09:06.680 bigger than others, and

01:09:07.460 some will be personal, and

01:09:08.520 some will be adulterous, and

01:09:09.720 some will be slavery, and

01:09:11.380 some will find something.

01:09:13.540 The Gandhi one actually 0.89

01:09:14.680 is the only hero so far

01:09:16.040 who gave me the refute

01:09:16.960 for it, because Gandhi

01:09:17.900 himself says, I'm not

01:09:19.620 perfect.

01:09:20.480 I have a bad, his thing

01:09:21.460 was a temper at the

01:09:22.320 time, forget about

01:09:22.920 everything else that

01:09:23.660 came out, but one of

01:09:25.340 the things he says, and

01:09:26.620 it's the most vital

01:09:27.360 lesson I put in the book

01:09:28.300 for my own children, and

01:09:30.020 I need the lesson every

01:09:31.160 day, I need it, but he

01:09:32.860 says that the only way

01:09:35.380 that you change the

01:09:37.060 world is you first have

01:09:38.680 to change yourself, and

01:09:40.460 he knows even about his

01:09:41.560 own temper, if he

01:09:42.980 transforms himself, and

01:09:44.460 he'll be the best person

01:09:45.500 he can be, that's the

01:09:46.600 only way you change the

01:09:47.520 world, you change

01:09:48.020 yourself, and I think

01:09:49.540 that I take that

01:09:50.760 philosophy, and that's

01:09:52.260 how I apply it to my

01:09:53.120 own life, if you're

01:09:54.120 looking for perfect

01:09:54.780 people, you're tearing

01:09:55.480 down statues, there

01:09:56.260 will be no statues

01:09:57.080 left, we will be in the

01:09:58.300 statue-less land, right?

01:09:59.560 You can't find the

01:10:00.540 perfection, and to me

01:10:02.000 that's obviously, you

01:10:03.020 know, losing that

01:10:03.740 history, you know, you

01:10:06.300 and I don't even have to

01:10:07.140 discuss it, what a

01:10:07.980 travesty that is, but I

01:10:09.580 think what we have to

01:10:10.420 do is, again, rather

01:10:11.580 than find anger, is

01:10:13.440 find the forgiveness

01:10:14.360 in people, too, you

01:10:16.220 have to find, if you're

01:10:17.420 looking for those

01:10:17.960 things, you have to

01:10:18.640 say, you know what, I

01:10:19.380 can't be mad at

01:10:20.320 everything, because as

01:10:21.260 you said so well, then

01:10:22.980 we've already lost the

01:10:23.700 fight, if you approach

01:10:24.760 the argument in anger,

01:10:26.100 you've already lost.

01:10:27.940 Brad, thanks.

01:10:33.020 This whole series from

01:10:34.060 Brad Meltzer is a great

01:10:35.320 one, I read these books

01:10:36.460 to my kids, and where

01:10:37.540 else are you going to

01:10:38.060 find any stories about

01:10:39.340 the footwear of

01:10:40.220 General Schmutz?

01:10:41.720 You're not, you're not,

01:10:43.120 you're not, I've

01:10:43.960 looked, I've looked.

01:10:45.320 The sandals of Schmutz,

01:10:46.740 I can't find them.

01:10:48.400 The books are I Am

01:10:49.460 Gandhi, I Am

01:10:50.200 Sacagawea, there's a

01:10:51.200 whole series of these

01:10:52.000 for your kids, they're

01:10:52.600 great, you can go to

01:10:53.120 get them at bookstores

01:10:54.340 or bradmeltzer.com.

01:10:57.060 I can have him on all

01:10:58.040 the time.

01:10:58.540 Yeah, he's just so

01:10:59.180 good.

01:10:59.480 He's fantastic.

01:11:00.280 I love his love for

01:11:01.760 history.

01:11:03.400 If you're a gun owner,

01:11:04.980 can you say with 100%

01:11:06.500 confidence that your

01:11:07.600 family and your home

01:11:08.620 are safe?

01:11:11.220 I am a gun owner, and

01:11:12.620 no, I cannot say that.

01:11:13.540 Okay, have you, remember

01:11:15.540 when we went through the

01:11:16.340 classes and we thought,

01:11:17.480 okay, we've got to make

01:11:18.580 sure we know when to pull

01:11:19.700 a gun and how to pull a

01:11:20.960 gun and how to fire a

01:11:22.000 gun, remember all that

01:11:22.700 stuff?

01:11:22.920 Yeah, for the concealed

01:11:23.660 carry license, yeah.

01:11:25.060 Did we ever even

01:11:26.400 consider, I didn't, did

01:11:27.780 we ever consider what

01:11:30.300 happens the second after

01:11:31.620 you pull the trigger?

01:11:33.540 It's a scary time.

01:11:34.640 It gets, I mean, because

01:11:35.860 all you think about is

01:11:36.860 that moment.

01:11:37.800 Right.

01:11:38.080 Am I going to do the

01:11:39.100 right thing?

01:11:39.760 Right.

01:11:40.160 And then after that, you're

01:11:41.380 going to face a very long

01:11:43.040 time of trying to put your

01:11:44.820 life back together.

01:11:45.700 Others saying, and

01:11:47.280 especially, depending on

01:11:49.600 where you live, a district

01:11:52.840 attorney is going to be

01:11:53.940 trying to ask that

01:11:55.280 question and trying to

01:11:56.340 prove to everyone else

01:11:57.900 that you should not have

01:11:58.940 had a gun and you should

01:12:00.500 not have pulled the

01:12:01.280 trigger.

01:12:01.800 You're going to be

01:12:02.520 beating yourself up and

01:12:03.640 meanwhile, then you're

01:12:04.420 going to be in court.

01:12:05.540 Your life is going to

01:12:06.360 change probably for about

01:12:07.540 a three year period and

01:12:09.740 you can be broke by the

01:12:10.760 end of it.

01:12:11.540 That doesn't sound good.

01:12:13.500 Is your family safe?

01:12:15.380 You might have been safe

01:12:16.140 from the guy who came 0.69

01:12:16.860 into robber worse in your

01:12:18.460 house, but now you've got

01:12:20.280 a whole different defense

01:12:22.540 that you have to worry

01:12:23.440 about.

01:12:24.300 That's where the U.S. 0.95

01:12:26.180 Concealed Carry Association

01:12:28.840 comes in.

01:12:30.140 They now have the

01:12:31.300 Concealed Carry Family

01:12:43.460 and most dangerous places

01:12:44.800 to sit when you're out in

01:12:46.840 public, how to responsibly

01:12:48.600 own and store a gun.

01:12:50.040 And to me, the most

01:12:51.860 important thing is what

01:12:53.420 happens after you pull the

01:12:54.360 trigger?

01:12:55.080 What happens?

01:13:27.460 USCCA.

01:13:35.640 So it's so you're you're not

01:13:37.820 alone.

01:13:39.060 Somebody is there to protect

01:13:40.880 the protector.

01:13:42.860 Defend the defender.

01:13:45.220 Protect and defend dot com.

01:13:46.700 Go there now.

01:13:47.260 Protect and defend dot com.

01:13:51.780 Glenn Beck.

01:13:52.880 No, you don't know.

01:13:58.100 No one knows.

01:13:59.120 Glenn Beck.

01:14:00.160 I don't know what a

01:14:00.980 prototype wall is.

01:14:02.700 The the wall prototype

01:14:04.580 construction begins today.

01:14:06.760 Yeah, you've got to you've

01:14:07.500 got to figure out how to

01:14:07.940 build it first.

01:14:08.600 You've got to figure out

01:14:09.080 what the wall is.

01:14:09.820 A couple of studs there and

01:14:11.160 then you just you throw some

01:14:12.300 sheetrock up and you have

01:14:13.320 yourself a wall.

01:14:14.060 No one's built a wall

01:14:14.740 before.

01:14:15.320 Right.

01:14:15.660 So the idea is to try to

01:14:16.860 figure out how to build a

01:14:18.020 wall.

01:14:18.660 Seriously, what is the wall

01:14:19.740 prototype construction that is

01:14:21.140 beginning?

01:14:21.360 Well, I mean, there are

01:14:22.000 obviously details, different

01:14:23.040 ways you could build it.

01:14:23.960 So I guess they're going to

01:14:24.740 try to finalize that before

01:14:26.220 they build the entire thing,

01:14:28.060 which they're not.

01:14:29.280 They've already stated

01:14:29.900 they're not going to build.

01:14:30.700 We should point that out.

01:14:31.820 They are not going to build a

01:14:32.860 wall on the entire border as

01:14:34.140 stated already by the

01:14:35.480 government.

01:14:36.220 So America needs hope.

01:14:37.320 And where do we find it?

01:14:39.160 We find it in a foreigner. 1.00

01:14:41.060 We find it in Bono.

01:14:42.540 What he just said to his

01:14:43.820 crowd a couple of nights ago

01:14:45.040 in San Diego is fantastic.

01:14:48.500 We'll share that coming up.

01:14:52.000 Glenn Beck.

01:15:09.140 Love.

01:15:10.700 Courage.

01:15:12.060 Truth.

01:15:13.340 Glenn Beck.

01:15:14.020 All right.

01:15:14.220 It's time for a quick quiz.

01:15:15.340 Now, this is not if I mean, if

01:15:16.580 you have Common Core, this may be

01:15:18.220 hard, is 60,000 greater than,

01:15:23.120 less than, or equal to 100.

01:15:27.520 Think about it.

01:15:28.980 Think about it.

01:15:31.940 60,000 greater than, less than,

01:15:35.200 or equal to 100.

01:15:37.600 Now, if you're in the media, I

01:15:40.440 know you answered equal to.

01:15:42.360 But that's only because you

01:15:45.840 really want us to believe that

01:15:47.580 60,000 emails from Hillary

01:15:49.880 Clinton's private server, over

01:15:52.260 half of which were deleted, are

01:15:54.980 the same thing as less than 100

01:15:57.640 emails found in the private email

01:15:59.720 address of Jared Kushner.

01:16:01.680 Now, you might still think to

01:16:03.820 yourself, well, did Jared

01:16:05.240 Kushner, did he miss the whole

01:16:06.660 email scandal during the

01:16:07.820 election?

01:16:08.300 Why is he using private email

01:16:09.900 address?

01:16:10.300 That's a really fair question.

01:16:12.200 It is.

01:16:13.960 But perspective is important.

01:16:17.480 Not opinion.

01:16:19.640 Perspective.

01:16:21.120 First of all, no one is

01:16:23.040 accusing Kushner of emailing

01:16:25.340 classified documents.

01:16:26.760 That's a pretty big part of it.

01:16:28.540 I mean, really, I don't really

01:16:29.640 care if she had a bunch of

01:16:31.000 stuff on her own server that

01:16:32.340 was about, you know, grandma's

01:16:33.320 toenails.

01:16:33.880 I don't care.

01:16:36.320 Classified information.

01:16:37.440 He didn't also call up some

01:16:40.540 IT professional to set up a

01:16:42.680 private server in his home.

01:16:45.360 He already had that private

01:16:46.940 server.

01:16:47.320 It was a family domain account.

01:16:49.320 And reportedly, now this is

01:16:51.160 something we don't know.

01:16:52.100 It hasn't been verified.

01:16:53.160 But reportedly, the emails were

01:16:55.780 nothing but a bunch of links to

01:16:57.360 news stories, mostly sent to him

01:16:59.820 by other people that he then

01:17:01.440 forwarded to his government

01:17:03.060 address to fulfill the federal

01:17:04.660 record keeping laws.

01:17:05.720 So, unlike Hillary, he put them

01:17:09.540 back into the system.

01:17:11.280 He wasn't trying to get them

01:17:12.300 out.

01:17:12.680 He had a private server.

01:17:14.780 Somebody emailed him something

01:17:15.900 about the campaign, usually just

01:17:17.780 news stories.

01:17:18.780 He immediately sent them to the

01:17:20.880 government address so it would

01:17:23.080 all be there.

01:17:24.280 Now, this information has not

01:17:25.960 been verified yet, and we still

01:17:27.940 may find something wrong.

01:17:29.140 I don't know.

01:17:30.280 But at this point, we don't have

01:17:32.660 the weird emails about grandma's

01:17:34.720 yoga, John Podesta wearing socks

01:17:37.440 to bed, creepy codes about child

01:17:39.740 trafficking rings held in a

01:17:41.260 non-existent basement of a pizza

01:17:42.800 parlor.

01:17:44.280 So far, there's nothing here at

01:17:47.480 all.

01:17:48.620 Which makes the equation, I think,

01:17:51.040 a lot easier to solve.

01:17:53.640 60,000 is not even close to equal to

01:17:58.500 100.

01:18:00.400 The math couldn't be more simple.

01:18:04.320 Unless you learned mathematics with

01:18:07.820 Common Core, or more likely, you're in

01:18:12.400 the media.

01:18:24.020 It's Tuesday, September 26th.

01:18:26.940 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

01:18:29.240 So what matters most today?

01:18:31.780 What matters most?

01:18:32.740 There's a lot of stuff that matters,

01:18:34.160 matters a lot.

01:18:35.080 But to me, what matters most is trying

01:18:37.120 to find ways to feel good about

01:18:41.020 ourselves.

01:18:42.260 But B, not on, you know, I feel

01:18:44.360 better because I just had a bowl of

01:18:45.800 M&Ms.

01:18:46.680 Yeah, you're going to feel crappy

01:18:47.780 after that.

01:18:48.620 Once you finish it, you're going to

01:18:50.220 feel crappy.

01:18:53.100 Something that's real.

01:18:55.840 And we have lost perspective.

01:18:58.020 Sometimes you get so close to

01:18:59.540 something, you're like, it's a blue

01:19:01.120 dot.

01:19:01.540 It's just a blue dot and a green dot

01:19:04.120 and a red dot.

01:19:05.040 Back up.

01:19:06.000 Back up.

01:19:07.400 Gain some perspective.

01:19:08.520 You're too close.

01:19:09.220 It's a Seurat painting.

01:19:10.460 It's a painting of a park in Paris.

01:19:14.620 Whoa.

01:19:16.880 And right now, Americans are too

01:19:18.800 close.

01:19:19.720 And all we're seeing are blue dots,

01:19:21.920 red dots, green dots.

01:19:23.080 We cannot see.

01:19:24.900 We don't have perspective at all on

01:19:26.920 who we are.

01:19:28.400 And everything is everything.

01:19:31.880 You know, we didn't talk about this

01:19:33.780 yesterday.

01:19:34.320 I mentioned it.

01:19:35.260 And let me mention it again.

01:19:37.360 But we should talk about it.

01:19:39.440 Did you see what Facebook said

01:19:41.700 about how they missed the some of the

01:19:46.680 influence advertising from Russia?

01:19:50.420 Did you see this?

01:19:51.420 No.

01:19:51.580 So, uh, what's his name running for

01:19:55.720 president?

01:19:56.320 He's not running for president yet, at

01:19:57.840 least.

01:19:58.120 Mark Zuckerberg.

01:19:58.680 Yeah, Zuckerberg.

01:19:59.440 So Zuckerberg says, uh, you know, one

01:20:02.060 of the things that we, we missed was

01:20:03.740 they were setting up a lot of advertising

01:20:06.220 for Black Lives Matter.

01:20:07.760 And that interesting.

01:20:12.100 They were setting it up for Black Lives 1.00

01:20:14.360 Matter.

01:20:14.840 Russia was paying for ads for Black Lives 0.99

01:20:17.280 Matter.

01:20:18.180 Isn't that interesting?

01:20:19.180 It is interesting.

01:20:20.400 That doesn't really seem to go along with

01:20:22.280 Hillary Clinton.

01:20:23.480 We want her out. 0.58

01:20:24.500 We want George.

01:20:25.360 We want Donald Trump in.

01:20:26.580 Does it?

01:20:27.040 No.

01:20:27.920 What was the explanation?

01:20:29.800 There was no explanation other than that's

01:20:32.140 one of the reasons why they missed it.

01:20:33.640 So they think it was a like they were

01:20:35.240 covering themselves, like trying to send

01:20:37.720 them off off the trail.

01:20:39.300 No, no.

01:20:41.120 They only want chaos.

01:20:43.780 They only want us to rip each other 1.00

01:20:46.500 apart.

01:20:47.020 Do I think that, uh, Vladimir Putin would

01:20:51.440 have liked to see Hillary Clinton win?

01:20:54.300 No.

01:20:55.760 Do I, does that make him for Donald

01:20:58.100 Trump?

01:20:58.880 No.

01:21:00.040 I think what Vladimir Putin really wants is

01:21:04.020 is chaos in the West and chaos in America.

01:21:07.600 He knows that Abraham Lincoln was right. 1.00

01:21:09.680 If there's ever going to be a revolution, if

01:21:11.020 we're ever going to kill, if America's ever 0.75

01:21:13.180 going to die, it's going to die by our own 0.98

01:21:15.240 hand. 0.89

01:21:15.500 It's going to be suicide because we'll just

01:21:17.580 tear each other apart.

01:21:18.920 And so that's what they're doing.

01:21:20.640 They are doing everything they can to push

01:21:22.820 every single button to tear us apart.

01:21:26.160 And we're gladly going right along with it.

01:21:29.280 And as we're watching, do you think Vladimir

01:21:32.300 Putin and our enemies, any enemy of America,

01:21:36.360 do you think they're not licking their chops

01:21:39.580 when they see what we're doing this week, just

01:21:42.360 with the NFL?

01:21:43.420 They're laughing.

01:21:44.560 This is great for them.

01:21:46.400 Kim Jong-un.

01:21:47.280 This is great for him because we're destroying

01:21:51.000 ourself because the thing that we always had was

01:21:54.800 unity.

01:21:56.300 We owe America.

01:21:57.540 Look, America is.

01:22:00.920 I guess I'm the quintessential American because this

01:22:04.960 is really the way I feel about me.

01:22:09.400 I'll get it right.

01:22:10.760 But only after I've exhausted every other possible

01:22:14.300 opportunity.

01:22:16.020 Eventually, I'll get it right.

01:22:17.280 That's America.

01:22:18.720 We'll get it right.

01:22:20.340 But only after we've tried everything else.

01:22:25.500 But we do get it right.

01:22:27.740 And we come together.

01:22:29.780 When push comes to shove, we come together.

01:22:31.820 And when we do, we change the world.

01:22:33.580 That's why we have to remain divided.

01:22:36.900 And there are people on all sides that want us to

01:22:40.500 be divided.

01:22:41.840 Because once we say, you guys, both of you,

01:22:45.900 knock it off. 0.61

01:22:47.280 See, the children.

01:22:50.340 And if you have children, you know, this the children know if

01:22:56.540 they can divide mom and dad.

01:22:58.440 They win.

01:23:01.500 They win.

01:23:02.060 They win.

01:23:03.500 And that's why it's critical as parents.

01:23:06.300 If you're a new parent, you need to have a talk with your spouse and say,

01:23:09.600 we're never going to be divided.

01:23:11.600 I don't care.

01:23:12.180 I don't care if you've just told the children we're going to go out on a killing spree tonight.

01:23:19.940 When they come to me and say, mom said we're going on a killing spree.

01:23:24.300 I'm going to respond to them. 0.93

01:23:26.100 You're damn right we are. 0.66

01:23:29.020 Then I'm going to come to you away from the kids. 0.98

01:23:31.700 And I'm going to what the hell are you talking about with the killing spree? 0.92

01:23:33.840 We're not doing a killing spree. 0.94

01:23:35.480 But as far as the kids know, I am all in on the killing spree.

01:23:41.800 Kids understand.

01:23:43.620 Divide mom and dad and you're and we win. 0.99

01:23:47.000 They're toast.

01:23:47.660 Breaks up the family.

01:23:52.440 The kids in our society.

01:23:56.080 They know this, too.

01:23:59.080 And that is why that's why you feel like looking at people on both sides and just say things like grow up.

01:24:09.400 Because they're behaving like kids.

01:24:13.920 And they are trying to appeal to either mom or dad.

01:24:17.660 It's why the adults, even though we disagree, I'm not going on a killing spree with you.

01:24:24.100 Yes, we are, kids.

01:24:25.860 I mean, yes, we are, kids.

01:24:28.740 The adults will have a reasonable conversation.

01:24:32.360 But we have to be united.

01:24:35.660 And because we are letting our emotions.

01:24:39.720 We are letting our fear.

01:24:43.140 And our anger drive us.

01:24:45.580 We are becoming part of the problem.

01:24:52.440 And it's because we feel as though we're under attack in every aspect of our life.

01:24:59.520 We feel as though my kids are under attack.

01:25:04.400 The culture is under attack.

01:25:06.080 My job is under attack.

01:25:07.520 My finances are under attack.

01:25:10.340 My church is under attack.

01:25:12.080 My faith is under attack.

01:25:13.880 Everything.

01:25:14.760 Everything that I am.

01:25:15.760 I'm constantly under attack.

01:25:22.140 And as long as people can make you feel that way, they can control you.

01:25:26.220 But once in a while, somebody can come from overseas, somebody who has perspective because it's not their family.

01:25:40.640 And they can remind the family exactly who they are.

01:25:47.640 Bono just did this in San Diego.

01:25:54.020 I just got an email from the editor of 180.com.

01:25:59.700 And he said, happened to be at a concert with my wife in San Diego.

01:26:04.320 You need to hear this.

01:26:08.040 This is Bono on stage in San Diego just a couple of days ago.

01:26:12.340 Listen.

01:26:13.020 This is a country that we love.

01:26:14.580 A country that has become our second home.

01:26:16.520 And you've been so generous to our band.

01:26:20.340 And we don't take that for granted.

01:26:22.020 We really love this country.

01:26:26.700 And we love you.

01:26:28.900 And it's not just a country, is it?

01:26:33.000 It's an idea.

01:26:35.060 It's a great idea.

01:26:37.600 It's one of the best ideas ever.

01:26:39.880 Is it not, Mitch?

01:26:42.800 America.

01:26:43.280 America.

01:26:45.220 But if we're honest, that idea right now is in need of some encouragement.

01:26:52.500 Some protection.

01:26:55.640 A country built on hope cannot be driven by fear.

01:27:03.120 A country founded on equality cannot allow hate to put it apart.

01:27:10.220 Is that not true?

01:27:13.280 We all have a stake in your success.

01:27:20.020 We want the city on the hill to shine.

01:27:23.700 We all are responsible to work for that promise.

01:27:27.620 Because there's nothing, there is nothing this country cannot do when you work together.

01:27:34.560 What a great message.

01:27:49.160 He believes it, too.

01:27:50.120 What a great message.

01:27:50.920 That's what makes it good.

01:27:52.520 Yeah.

01:27:52.840 I mean, it really is.

01:27:53.960 It's from the U2 tour, which is fantastic, by the way.

01:27:56.140 I saw it when it was in Dallas.

01:27:57.020 And he did a similar thing there.

01:27:58.200 I think that was after the time after the shooting.

01:28:00.600 And he was, like, talking about how we really need to honor, like, you know, Steve Scalise and the service he's putting.

01:28:08.080 It was like, you never hear a band do this, right?

01:28:11.260 That's not what happens.

01:28:13.000 But he was praying for Steve Scalise's recovery.

01:28:16.200 I mean, it's fantastic.

01:28:17.000 And he legitimately believes America is a great place and believes in the founding ideas of this country, even though you don't agree with him politically on everything.

01:28:26.040 When was the last time you heard somebody say, a country that was founded on equality cannot be ruled by hate?

01:28:37.140 That's amazing because you don't hear that it's founded on equality very often.

01:28:41.460 No, never.

01:28:41.980 And obviously there were major flaws in that, but it's just like we had heard earlier with Brad Meltzer.

01:28:47.300 It's like there's flaws in everybody.

01:28:49.320 You know, this country has never been perfectly executed. 1.00

01:28:52.620 It's like looking at a Model T and saying Henry Ford was an imbecile. 1.00

01:28:57.320 He was an imbecile because look at the Model T. 1.00

01:29:02.480 The Model T was an idea. 1.00

01:29:05.740 It was an idea.

01:29:07.100 Man doesn't have to use a horse.

01:29:09.580 What it turns into is up to the future generations.

01:29:16.540 Yes, it didn't have airbags.

01:29:18.320 I can't believe he wanted people to die.

01:29:20.820 It didn't have airbags.

01:29:22.400 They didn't think of it that way at that time.

01:29:26.520 They did the best they could.

01:29:27.860 And honestly, like if you want something that actually can rejuvenate, you forget sometimes that we live in a great place.

01:29:33.340 And you watch the news with all the kneeling and everyone fighting about it and all the division stuff like that really does bring you like a cool place.

01:29:42.300 You can see the video, I guess we're going to have it up on glenbeck.com or 180report.com is where it was submitted from.

01:29:47.760 But it's a, you know, Bono does this a lot.

01:29:50.320 And I think because he's a celebrity and because he occasionally says things that are liberal or things you might not agree with, people brush him off and throw him into that same sort of pile of annoying celebrities.

01:30:01.060 In reality, the guy freaking loves this country.

01:30:04.320 And he's been consistent about that for a very long time.

01:30:07.260 Somebody asked me the other day, if you could interview one person, who would it be?

01:30:10.800 And I said, Elon Musk.

01:30:14.360 Really?

01:30:15.020 Yeah.

01:30:15.620 But I think it might be Bono.

01:30:17.560 If I could, if I could interview one person, it might be Bono.

01:30:20.920 Elon Musk, for sure.

01:30:23.580 But just ahead of him, maybe Bono because, because he has experience on both sides.

01:30:28.740 And he sees it, he has grown and seen it, and seen it work and fail from both sides.

01:30:39.000 He has incredible perspective and he's a great interview.

01:30:41.940 The guy, he's got a way with words.

01:30:44.460 Elon would be interesting too because he's so connected to what's coming in the future.

01:30:48.500 Yeah, I heard a quote from him.

01:30:49.740 I watched an interview with him over the weekend and I heard a quote from Elon Musk and he said,

01:30:53.580 they said, why are you, why are you doing this?

01:30:59.380 Why are you, why are you doing all these things and why are you going to Mars and everything else?

01:31:04.560 And he said, because I want to be able to think of the future and be happy.

01:31:15.400 Isn't that amazing?

01:31:16.980 Yeah.

01:31:18.440 I want to be able to think, I know it's really dark.

01:31:20.620 He's a pretty pessimistic dude.

01:31:21.240 Yeah, no, he's a pessimistic dude.

01:31:22.880 But I thought that was really interesting.

01:31:25.060 I want to be able to look at the future and be happy.

01:31:37.860 Every successful business has great talent.

01:31:40.860 But where do you find your great talent?

01:31:43.860 Where do you find the people that are going to take your business to the next level?

01:31:47.000 The answer is ZipRecruiter.

01:31:48.760 Unlike other job sites, ZipRecruiter isn't really a job site.

01:31:52.620 What ZipRecruiter does is it goes out and finds the qualified candidates.

01:31:57.660 It doesn't require the candidates to find you.

01:32:52.300 Glenn Beck.

01:32:59.300 Glenn Beck.

01:33:00.280 So we were just talking about Elon Musk.

01:33:06.420 I watched an interview with him on TED Talks, and it was about 45 minutes long, and he talked about going to Mars.

01:33:15.120 He talked about building rockets.

01:33:16.300 He talked about the new tunnel program that he's working on, his hyperlink.

01:33:21.200 I mean, he is just, he is, he's remarkable.

01:33:25.300 And the things that come out of his mouth that are like, yeah, well, you know, we intend on, you know, doubling the battery capability in the next five years.

01:33:37.300 And he just says it so matter-of-factly and like, yeah, we're going to, that's what we're going to do.

01:33:41.440 It's, it's remarkable.

01:33:42.820 And he'd sound insane if he hadn't have, you know, but for instance, he said, the question was, we understand that you want to in the next 10 years launch a rocket to Mars.

01:33:54.200 And he said, yeah, well, our internal goals are much more aggressive.

01:33:59.780 We'd like to try to do it in five.

01:34:00.960 Oh, okay, all right.

01:34:04.840 And you accept it from him.

01:34:06.760 But he is, the reason why he's pushing for Mars is because he's really concerned about what's happening with AI.

01:34:13.480 He really is.

01:34:15.260 And I'm, of course, I don't like the idea he's always calling for regulation on this stuff.

01:34:19.080 But I mean, at least he's thinking about it.

01:34:21.080 Here you see, here he is talking about AI.

01:34:23.440 On the artificial intelligence front, you know, I have exposure to the very most cutting edge.

01:34:30.960 AI.

01:34:32.780 And I think people should be really concerned about it.

01:34:36.660 I keep soundingly long-bell, but, you know, until people see, like, robots going down the street, killing people, like, they don't know how to react, you know, because it seems so ethereal.

01:34:46.440 And I think we should be really concerned about AI.

01:34:51.720 And I think we should.

01:34:53.380 AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation instead of reactive.

01:34:59.300 Because I think by the time we are reactive in AI regulation, it's too late.

01:35:04.300 Because what's going to happen is robots will be able to do everything better than us.

01:35:10.660 I'm including, I mean, all of us, you know.

01:35:13.680 Glenn Beck.

01:35:27.780 You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.

01:35:29.680 So, if you saw the Dallas Cowboys last night, it was the perfect ending.

01:35:35.680 I mean, it was beautifully done.

01:35:37.640 It was a great ending for this whole thing.

01:35:40.340 They walk out, and first they all take a knee right in the center of the field.

01:35:46.200 And some of them are praying.

01:35:48.180 Some of them are not praying, I suppose.

01:35:49.840 And then they get up, and they lock arms, and they stand to the side, and they listen to the National Anthem.

01:35:55.700 With respect, everybody's a winner.

01:35:58.620 You've got the prayer thing.

01:35:59.860 You have the taking of a knee.

01:36:01.420 You have the National Anthem.

01:36:03.840 You have respect.

01:36:04.540 And the best part is, we can now watch football.

01:36:08.340 It was brilliant if it ended there, but it's not going to.

01:36:11.300 It's not going to.

01:36:12.000 It's not going to.

01:36:12.580 They've already decided for next week, the Cowboys are going to stand for the Anthem.

01:36:18.700 They're going to take a knee for the entire first quarter, and then they're going to lay down in a pool of gravy at halftime.

01:36:24.160 Really?

01:36:24.960 Yes.

01:36:25.240 For unity.

01:36:26.520 For unity.

01:36:28.140 The Green Bay Packers, on the other hand, they believe that locking arms just wasn't enough of a unifying gesture last week.

01:36:35.820 So they're now going to lock lips during the National Anthem.

01:36:41.040 And some have promised tongue.

01:36:42.980 Wow.

01:36:43.440 For unity.

01:36:44.520 For unity.

01:36:45.680 And fluidity.

01:36:46.600 For some kind of fluidity.

01:36:48.180 And fluidity.

01:36:48.820 Yes.

01:36:49.480 And then during the kickoff, the Indianapolis Colts are all planning to vomit at the same time.

01:36:57.040 For unity.

01:36:58.320 For unity.

01:36:59.220 Why?

01:36:59.780 Because if one wants to vomit, they should all vomit. 0.99

01:37:02.620 They should all puke. 0.99

01:37:02.940 They should all vomit. 1.00

01:37:03.880 Yes. 0.97

01:37:04.320 There's a sports psychologist I saw this morning who says it's one of the most sincere forms of unity you can do to synchronize barf.

01:37:13.500 Really?

01:37:14.220 Yeah.

01:37:14.480 Really.

01:37:14.900 Synchronized barfing is the most unifying gesture in all of sports.

01:37:19.280 So when my wife or I go into the bathroom with my daughters and we're holding their hair back as they're vomiting. 0.96

01:37:27.200 You guys are unifying.

01:37:28.680 You're unifying.

01:37:28.960 Well, I'm not barfing.

01:37:29.880 Oh, okay.

01:37:30.540 Well, then you should barf too. 0.89

01:37:31.940 I should barf too. 1.00

01:37:33.020 You should throw up. 0.99

01:37:33.660 Okay. 0.97

01:37:33.920 Now I've almost done that.

01:37:35.940 Well, I have helped my children.

01:37:38.880 I've seen entire classrooms of fourth graders do that.

01:37:44.600 30 kids all even.

01:37:46.100 One starts to barf and it's a chain reaction.

01:37:48.880 So I'm not sure the barfing is the unifier that you think it is.

01:37:52.160 Well, according to sports psychologists, who am I?

01:37:54.740 I'm not a psychologist.

01:37:55.840 All right.

01:37:56.240 Okay.

01:37:56.540 The thing that bothered me the most about the weekend, I think, was the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Baltimore Ravens in London taking a knee during the National Anthem, but standing for God Save the Queen.

01:38:09.080 That's bizarre.

01:38:10.960 Hey, rocket scientist, do you know that Britain started the slave trade in the United States of America?

01:38:19.940 And for Baltimore Ravens, the British almost burned your city to the ground at one point. 1.00

01:38:25.900 It's just stupid. 0.99

01:38:30.460 Every once in a while, I get this weird impression that some of these athletes have not fully researched to these issues. 1.00

01:38:37.180 It's possible.

01:38:38.380 Come on.

01:38:39.100 I think that's kind of hasty.

01:38:39.700 I think you're being a little unfair there.

01:38:42.800 I think you are.

01:38:44.060 I can see that.

01:38:44.660 Yeah.

01:38:45.040 I can see that.

01:38:45.660 I feel like maybe the entire history of the United States and maybe every piece of the FBI Unified Pride Report has not necessarily been read through.

01:38:55.980 They're busy playing football.

01:38:57.220 Cover to cover.

01:38:57.920 They play football.

01:38:59.320 They get the executive summer.

01:39:02.040 They got the high points.

01:39:03.180 America is a country.

01:39:06.000 And it's bad.

01:39:07.440 And it's bad.

01:39:08.060 They got that.

01:39:08.700 They got that.

01:39:09.220 Yeah.

01:39:09.340 What more do you need?

01:39:10.360 They got that.

01:39:10.880 That might have been an ad lib on their part.

01:39:13.420 Yeah.

01:39:13.580 I mean, I think they got America is a country.

01:39:16.040 And then they just fill in the rest.

01:39:18.160 It's bad.

01:39:19.060 Because the FBI would would would a country would a good country require a law enforcement agency?

01:39:25.680 No, it would not.

01:39:26.360 No.

01:39:26.600 You would need one because they're good people.

01:39:29.120 Exactly right.

01:39:30.120 So I think we can see the logic here.

01:39:32.960 America is a country.

01:39:34.240 It has a law enforcement organization like the FBI.

01:39:38.080 Those are only used when you have bad people.

01:39:41.860 Only necessary then.

01:39:42.860 Thus, America is bad.

01:39:45.040 Right.

01:39:45.860 Right. 0.97

01:39:46.300 Now let's vomit. 1.00

01:39:51.280 There's something else.

01:39:53.240 Do we have the audio?

01:39:54.260 I believe so.

01:39:55.120 This is huge.

01:39:55.740 This is huge.

01:39:56.280 This is Pat Gray News.

01:39:57.240 Oh, yeah?

01:39:57.600 This is really big.

01:39:58.020 This is news designed for Pat Gray.

01:40:00.860 Oh, I'm excited.

01:40:01.720 We are very surprised to see this announcement today.

01:40:04.580 The prophecy is coming true.

01:40:06.240 Now, you are going to be shocked.

01:40:08.640 This is real.

01:40:09.900 This is real.

01:40:10.400 This is real.

01:40:11.260 Okay.

01:40:12.380 Go ahead.

01:40:12.940 Roll the video.

01:40:13.300 Hi, everybody.

01:40:13.980 Chip and Joanna Gaines here in Waco, Texas.

01:40:16.700 Of course, at the farm where it all started.

01:40:19.620 I remember it like it was yesterday.

01:40:21.160 Five years ago, roughly, we were contacted by a production company who wanted to do a show

01:40:26.680 about us here in our beautiful hometown of Waco, Texas.

01:40:30.100 And one thing led to another.

01:40:32.600 And, of course, a pilot was born called Fixer Upper.

01:40:36.540 And this journey has been indescribable.

01:40:40.380 The opportunity of a lifetime.

01:40:42.780 Our family has grown up before our eyes on national television, which is an experience that I can tell you is beautiful.

01:40:51.860 He's leading somewhere.

01:40:52.720 It's wonderful for so many reasons.

01:40:54.620 But, nevertheless, we are making an announcement.

01:41:02.100 And it just ends there.

01:41:03.660 No, no, no.

01:41:04.320 Nevertheless.

01:41:05.040 No, we have the rest.

01:41:05.780 What is he going to make the announcement?

01:41:06.900 What is he going to say?

01:41:07.580 He's going to say, I mean, you're leading me to believe.

01:41:11.320 He's going to say they're leaving to sell facial cream.

01:41:15.160 I'm not leading you to believe anything.

01:41:17.700 That's what I'm being led to believe.

01:41:19.380 I am not leading you to believe anything.

01:41:21.780 Sounds like a pretty serious thing, doesn't it?

01:41:23.500 Is this recent?

01:41:24.620 Yeah, this happened today.

01:41:25.820 Just moments ago.

01:41:26.780 Really?

01:41:27.160 Just moments ago.

01:41:28.540 Well, that has got to be facial cream, right?

01:41:31.080 They've just been behind the ads on the website.

01:41:33.520 Now they're ready to go.

01:41:34.540 That would be the best story of all time.

01:41:37.020 I listen to this up to here, exactly like you did.

01:41:40.680 And I went, okay, I'm being led to believe it's facial cream.

01:41:44.020 This is actually a huge announcement.

01:41:46.560 Listen.

01:41:46.780 Today, that the fifth season, which will begin in November and take us all the way into second quarter 2018, will be our last.

01:41:58.320 What?

01:41:59.120 They are actually ending the show?

01:42:00.300 They're actually ending the show.

01:42:01.260 Why are they selling facial cream?

01:42:04.060 It's really happening.

01:42:05.880 The facial cream prophecy has proven true.

01:42:10.060 It's true.

01:42:11.560 Wow.

01:42:12.240 Yeah.

01:42:13.100 Wow.

01:42:14.780 Hmm.

01:42:16.620 Big announcement.

01:42:17.900 I've got to leave the show with that today.

01:42:19.640 Yeah, I think so, right?

01:42:20.700 It's huge.

01:42:21.000 This is a Pat Gray Unleashed story.

01:42:23.780 Yes, it is.

01:42:24.260 I can tell you, if I were, what is it, HGTV that they're on, I would have paid them anything.

01:42:31.240 To stay?

01:42:31.860 They are the best.

01:42:34.240 They're the reason why.

01:42:34.900 They're the superstars of the network.

01:42:36.520 Imagine how good the facial cream must be.

01:42:38.220 It must be.

01:42:39.420 It must be.

01:42:40.120 Incredible.

01:42:41.900 Pat Gray Unleashed coming up on the Believe Radio and TV Network next.

01:42:46.220 And subscribe on iTunes and make him number one.

01:42:50.620 Every successful business has great talent.

01:42:54.260 Where do you find that great talent to take your business over?

01:42:57.980 Up to the next level.

01:42:59.280 ZipRecruiter.

01:43:00.540 Unlike other job sites, ZipRecruiter does a great job and will help you find that qualified candidate.

01:43:10.660 Try them out for free.

01:43:12.480 I also want to tell you a little bit about American Financing.

01:43:16.740 American Financing will help you put together the financing for your home.

01:43:23.340 And when I say they help you, they are not working for the bank.

01:43:28.100 What they are doing is they're working for you.

01:43:31.420 When people say, I hope the bank gives me a loan, they're not giving it to you.

01:43:35.840 They're selling it.

01:43:36.980 Have you seen how much you're paying to borrow that money?

01:43:42.120 They're selling it to you.

01:43:43.740 And there are different what are called loan instruments.

01:43:46.680 The banks are pushing because they want to be able to get a higher rate from you.

01:43:51.360 They want to be able to sell this, you know, this loan instrument or this loan instrument.

01:43:56.940 And so they go to all of the loan managers and say, we want you to push this one.

01:44:02.380 American Financing is family owned and operated.

01:44:05.280 And so they don't work that way.

01:44:06.440 They don't work on commissions and they don't work for the bank.

01:44:10.500 They work for you.

01:44:12.040 This is definitely true.

01:44:12.900 This literally happened to me in which I went to American Financing.

01:44:16.520 They got me a great deal on a mortgage.

01:44:19.660 I found one of, I think, the six companies that I went to that had a slightly better rate in one area.

01:44:25.280 Because I was asking for a very weird type of mortgage.

01:44:28.180 You're going to regret that.

01:44:29.260 But go ahead.

01:44:29.980 Thank you for that.

01:44:30.940 But they said, you know what?

01:44:32.580 Honestly, like, we're more than happy to help you.

01:44:35.080 We'd love to help you.

01:44:35.860 But if you can find that rate, run to it.

01:44:38.000 Take it.

01:44:38.220 Yeah, they said, if they're crazy enough to give you that rate.

01:44:40.840 That is the way they phrased it.

01:44:42.160 If they're crazy enough to give you that rate, take that rate.

01:44:45.120 But again, like, they're turning down business.

01:44:47.600 Because they don't make their money that way.

01:44:49.900 They just don't.

01:44:50.580 They're not getting paid double.

01:44:52.700 I mean, they want to give you the right mortgage.

01:44:55.200 And then you're going to buy it from them.

01:44:57.200 And then they're going to have you in the next house and the next house and the next house.

01:45:00.360 They earn your trust.

01:45:02.140 Not a lot of people do that when you're looking for mortgages.

01:45:05.020 Call their number right now, 800-906-2440, 800-906-2440.

01:45:10.720 Or you can go to AmericanFinancing.net.

01:45:13.100 That's AmericanFinancing.net.

01:45:25.020 Glenn Beck.

01:45:26.420 Glenn Beck.

01:45:32.200 Glenn Beck.

01:45:35.020 Hey, we're going to be taking a fourth hour, moving into Facebook Live here in probably about half an hour or so.

01:45:44.120 If you want to kind of join us, it's a very kind of loose, behind-the-scenes kind of thing.

01:45:48.980 But we'll do that in about a half an hour.

01:45:51.920 Make sure you join us, Glenn Beck, Facebook, slash Glenn Beck, and Facebook, slash The Blaze.

01:45:58.700 Maybe we can talk a little bit about the important things the New York Times has been teaching us lately about our history in this world, including how did women fare in China's communist revolution?

01:46:13.580 I had a lot of thoughts about that before, but now I'm woke, because they tell us here, the communists did many terrible things, but they made women's lives much better, which was not my, it was not what I thought before.

01:46:29.360 Really?

01:46:29.480 I've learned something new.

01:46:30.760 So, wait, the communists did a lot of bad things.

01:46:34.400 Did they mention any of them?

01:46:36.040 Like the possibly 90 million people they slaughtered?

01:46:41.720 Well, I don't think that's the important thing to focus on here.

01:46:45.640 I thought the tweet the New York Times put out really crystallized the issue, which was,

01:46:51.240 For all its flaws, the communist revolution taught Chinese women to dream big.

01:46:57.840 Like someday I'll be out of these shackles.

01:47:00.520 But maybe something like that.

01:47:02.600 Someday I could worship as I wanted to.

01:47:05.920 Someday, I know, I know.

01:47:08.900 Teaching women to dream big.

01:47:12.080 Maybe you could have two children.

01:47:14.320 Whoa, don't dream too big now.

01:47:16.260 It's not going to be a dream that comes true. 1.00

01:47:17.600 They'll come and they'll rip the child out of you, kill the child, and possibly kill you. 1.00

01:47:22.740 But you can dream big. 1.00

01:47:24.640 Maybe two children.

01:47:26.640 That's impressive.

01:47:27.560 Yeah.

01:47:27.880 And can you get away with, for all its flaws-ing, 60 million dead?

01:47:35.580 I feel like that's more than a for all its flaws reference.

01:47:39.220 Well, I mean, you could say, yes, you could do that.

01:47:42.940 You could do that.

01:47:43.580 But you would also then have to accept smaller flaws, like, you know, for all of the flaws

01:47:50.160 on slavery, the founding of America was good.

01:47:54.280 Right.

01:47:54.760 You'd have to do that.

01:47:55.740 You'd have to do that.

01:47:56.360 You certainly wouldn't be tearing down statues anyway.

01:47:58.220 No, of course not.

01:47:59.260 For all of the flaws in America, it has been good for people.

01:48:05.640 For all of its flaws, the fire that burned their house to the ground gave off some much-needed

01:48:09.580 warmth in that cool fall air.

01:48:11.880 That's true.

01:48:12.540 It is true.

01:48:13.640 Yeah.

01:48:13.820 For all of its flaws, the thickness of the antifreeze he was drinking satisfied his appetite

01:48:18.500 momentarily.

01:48:19.340 That is, again, that's another good one.

01:48:22.360 It's another good one.

01:48:23.120 For all of its flaws, the giant meteor careening towards the earth provided some much-needed

01:48:27.720 shade on a bright summer afternoon.

01:48:30.380 I think that works.

01:48:31.760 I like that.

01:48:32.440 For all of its flaws, Anthony Weiner's decision to sign up for Twitter did guarantee that Hillary

01:48:37.100 Clinton would never be president.

01:48:39.680 That one actually kind of works.

01:48:40.460 That one works.

01:48:41.000 I like that one.

01:48:41.580 Yeah, that one's not really funny.

01:48:42.920 That one's true.

01:48:43.840 That's true.

01:48:44.800 It's not funny in any way.

01:48:47.040 For all of the flaws on that joke, it still is good.

01:48:50.260 It still works.

01:48:51.040 It still works.

01:48:51.740 That one actually works.

01:48:52.320 It still works.

01:48:52.720 Unless you're, I don't know, a parent of a random 15-year-old, then it's not quite as

01:48:57.460 good or funny.

01:48:58.300 Yeah, but you know what?

01:48:59.080 Unfortunately.

01:48:59.520 For all of his flaws, look at the things that he taught young women.

01:49:03.260 There you go.

01:49:04.860 Right?

01:49:05.840 Think of how much.

01:49:06.780 Think how outrageous that statement is from the New York Times.

01:49:11.720 For all of its flaws, communism really has taught women to think big. 0.99

01:49:16.900 Do they describe how they're thinking big?

01:49:19.960 Well, I mean, I guess, you know, look, pre-communist China was not a delightful place for women

01:49:26.200 either.

01:49:26.800 And there were times in the communist revolution where they put, they had all hands on deck

01:49:31.360 is the way I would describe it.

01:49:32.700 They put women to work. 1.00

01:49:34.640 They put, and I guess the hope of the career gave them a little bit.

01:49:40.660 The hope of the career.

01:49:41.860 The one that, the one where they work for Apple and throw themselves off the roof.

01:49:47.000 That one.

01:49:47.880 Yeah, I guess that's good.

01:49:48.760 Yeah, that's good.

01:49:49.460 Listen to this.

01:49:50.020 The party at times only paid lip service to the equal sharing of domestic labor, but

01:49:55.820 in practice, it condoned women's continuing subordination in the home. 1.00

01:49:59.900 Well, there's a hopeful dream.

01:50:02.140 Wow, dream big.

01:50:03.160 Dream big.

01:50:03.920 You can share the labor equally.

01:50:06.720 Right.

01:50:06.940 But in posters and speeches, Glenn, female socialist icons were portrayed as iron women who labored 1.00

01:50:14.960 heroically in front of steel furnaces while maintaining a harmonious family.

01:50:22.300 I think of this is a real article. 0.97

01:50:24.900 These are killers. 0.99

01:50:25.980 These are killers. 1.00

01:50:26.840 They killed 60 to 100 million people. 0.85

01:50:30.760 I mean, you're again, what?

01:50:31.880 Five times the amount of Hitler? 0.94

01:50:34.080 Five times?

01:50:34.720 This is not a cute little story that you look back on and fondly.

01:50:40.420 This is the most murderous regime in world history, period.

01:50:46.280 And they're talking about them like they, you know, they were inspirational, though.

01:50:51.460 You know, despite all of his flaws, he did come up with a Volkswagen.

01:50:55.280 Yeah, that's what it is.

01:50:56.620 You could absolutely do this with Hitler. 0.98

01:50:58.200 They never would.

01:50:59.020 Despite all of his flaws, the Audubon is unbelievable.

01:51:01.760 Despite all of his flaws, those were snappy uniforms.

01:51:06.960 There you go.

01:51:08.060 I mean, it's crazy.

01:51:09.920 It's incredible.

01:51:10.720 It is crazy.

01:51:12.720 And you cannot.

01:51:13.720 And that's what's so amazing.

01:51:14.880 Especially since they are taking us apart and not giving us despite all of our flaws.

01:51:22.300 They're giving us any room for that.

01:51:24.820 No room.

01:51:26.580 But they will for people who have killed the minimum of 60 million people.

01:51:32.800 It's amazing what you'll overlook when you're...

01:51:35.540 When it's just ideology.

01:51:36.720 Your bias is being confirmed.

01:51:38.060 Yes.

01:51:38.700 When that comes out, it makes everything a lot easier.

01:51:41.500 It shows you also how frightening communism, socialism, fascism really is.

01:51:47.480 Because when you can overlook the death of 60 million people, the orchestrated death of 60 million people, and you can say, yeah, well, I mean, you have to crack a few eggs.

01:52:02.500 Because when you can get there, there is no depravity that will stop you currently because you believe, yes, that's bad, but that's why you have to be intellectually honest.

01:52:25.160 Glenn Beck.
