Summary
Donald Trump wants the Arab countries in the Middle East to take responsibility for their own land, and they don t care. They don t even care about the Christians. They won't even stand for the Muslims. And it's time for us to get out of the role of Middle Eastern steward.
Transcript
00:00:16.700
Okay, Donald Trump just made the Arab countries in the Middle East an insane proposition.
00:00:25.300
The goal, the goal he had to ask Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar to, you ready, take responsibility for their own land.
00:00:40.420
I know, I know, it's crazy, right? I mean, why would you even think that?
00:00:44.960
The Western world has not only assumed the role of Middle Eastern steward for, hmm, exactly 100 years ago this coming November,
00:00:54.580
but we're thinking about going for another 100 years.
00:01:02.040
The Trump administration has proposed a plan to the Arab Gulf nations for them to provide funding and troops that would stabilize and patrol Western Syria.
00:01:13.740
Wait a minute. Instead of us being bogged down there?
00:01:21.800
National Security Advisor John Bolton has also contacted Egypt to ask them to lend their support as well.
00:01:29.380
Now, I don't know if we can continue to look at this,
00:01:33.960
because we might see the beginning of a coalition of nations in the Middle East
00:01:42.540
This plan has a long way to go before it bears fruit,
00:01:50.020
but the Trump administration is actually looking at options that scale back our ridiculously overstretched military.
00:02:04.360
They've been in near constant combat in this region for 17 years.
00:02:11.240
It is well past time for the people that call this region home to take the reins.
00:02:18.020
Since 2011, the Arab nations have been relatively non-existent in the Syrian crisis.
00:02:30.240
but at least they took care of the refugees, right?
00:02:44.640
everyone else, the Saudis, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Bahrain,
00:02:49.420
they have contributed zero support for the Syrian refugees.
00:03:06.940
You think they're going to stand for the Christians?
00:03:16.720
the Arab nations have grown comfortable knowing that somebody else is always going to take care of their problems.
00:03:21.260
It's like a person living on, you know, welfare their entire life.
00:03:28.160
It's high time we broke this hundred-year cycle because it doesn't work.
00:03:36.140
and it is way beyond time that people that live in the Middle East
00:03:40.020
take responsibility for their own home and neighborhood.
00:04:00.520
otherwise known as Stu, our executive producer.
00:04:11.620
That's the only reason I go to an establishment.
00:06:32.440
it seems like they actually did go to the bathroom,
00:06:46.320
if you've ever been to a Starbucks or another...
00:07:17.680
but they decided they didn't want to pay any price
00:35:35.660
you're probably still paying less than one Apple cord.
00:36:02.880
at night I get up in the middle of night and I've got a little file and I'm,
00:36:05.900
I'm filing down the rubber coating or something.
00:36:10.180
I'm not okay with treating it better than I treat my children or my dogs.
00:36:22.860
Cause I'm just going to be really gentle with you.
00:36:32.300
I treat that cord like it's the most important thing in the world and it still
00:36:42.000
Just hoping you throw it away so it can get away from you.
00:36:51.140
Why do I want to hear some guy talk about his iPad for a half an hour?
00:37:03.920
we'll shoot ourselves before the end of the segment,
00:37:20.100
These are ones that I would think we could fix.
00:37:25.160
The whole point of the company is that we make things easy.
00:37:30.300
I don't know how they're the most beloved company on the earth.
00:37:48.060
It was recently reported that hackers stole information for more than 5 million credit and debit cards used for in-store purchases at Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off Fifth, and Lord & Taylor stores.
00:37:57.620
Some of the card information was put up for sale on the dark web as soon as the breach went viral.
00:38:02.420
There are so many threats in today's connected world.
00:38:05.340
And it takes just takes just one week link for criminals to get in.
00:38:09.060
Good thing that the new LifeLock identity theft protection adds the power of Norton Security to help protect you against threats to your identity and your devices that you can't easily see or fix on your own.
00:38:18.580
I don't think they can fix problems with your power cords, but they can fix this.
00:38:21.900
If you have a problem, they have agents who will work to do just that.
00:38:24.880
No one can stop every cyber threat, prevent all identity theft, or monitor transactions at all businesses.
00:38:30.060
But new LifeLock with Norton Security is able to uncover threats you might otherwise miss.
00:38:34.360

00:38:48.580
In several states, the number of women who die after giving birth has been on the rise in America for the past 15 years.
00:39:05.680
The uptick in maternal mortality rates has baffled experts, doctors, healthcare professionals.
00:39:13.960
Now, one of the theories is, is that it's tied to the growing opioid crisis and drug overdoses,
00:39:20.660
as well as an unexplainable increase of suicides among women who have just given birth.
00:39:29.300
They have concluded that recent cuts to Planned Parenthood are not the cause.
00:39:37.120
The rates have been increasing for the last 15 years.
00:39:41.100
But Minnesota Democratic Representative Keith Ellison wants you to know that the experts are wrong.
00:39:48.740
And we need to stop looking for actual medical, scientific reasons because Republicans are murdering these women.
00:39:58.820
His latest rant at an event hosted by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.
00:40:03.980
Did you know that in Missouri and in Texas and maybe other places, maternal mortality has risen?
00:40:12.440
Women are dying because we are losing elections.
00:40:18.960
We don't have the right to lose a damn election.
00:40:24.180
Unfortunately, in America in 2018, facts and empirical data don't often pass as truth anymore.
00:40:41.400
The narrative of the day holds Republicans and Trump out as the villains who are now killing women.
00:40:47.620
Villains who are out to harm women and kill them by cutting funds to Planned Parenthood.
00:40:52.340
The organization responsible for roughly 300,000 killings of children every year.
00:41:00.200
I would guess those would be pretty harmful, certainly for the child, but also for the mother.
00:41:07.680
But that's just another fact that doesn't fit the narrative.
00:41:22.340
Rand Paul just came out and said that he doesn't think that those chemical weapons were used by Assad.
00:41:32.500
He said Assad would have to be the dumbest person on the planet because he knew that the rest of the world would turn against him.
00:41:50.640
I'm disturbed by the growing number of people who, and I'm not putting Rand in this, you know, let Rand speak for himself.
00:42:03.920
But, you know, there is a history of Russia duping people.
00:42:10.000
I want to talk a little bit about that, but I want to come in through a side door that, you know, most people, most Americans don't even remember anymore.
00:42:20.980
Chappaquiddick, Mary Jo Kopechny, just about a week ago or a few days ago, we had her relatives on with us for about half an hour.
00:42:31.900
They're going to come down and spend some more time with us because their voice has not been heard on a national stage until now.
00:42:40.520
And we talked to them about Mary Jo Kopechny, the young staffer that was left to die in a car by Senator Ed Kennedy and wanted to know who she really was and what is the truth.
00:42:56.180
She idealized Bobby, and that was the only thing that brought her out of the South.
00:43:01.640
She was down South during the civil rights days, and we were very worried about her teaching school in Alabama.
00:43:06.740
But when she had the opportunity to work in Washington with the people who were making the rules, making the laws, and making things better for everyone and equal rights, she came right up to Washington.
00:43:23.260
She helped him write his speech announcing he was going to run for president.
00:43:31.700
Well, she was one of the older boiler room girls, too, though.
00:43:34.380
The one thing we all walked out of this movie saying is, how did she not get out, and he did?
00:43:47.920
Mary Jo was a wonderful swimmer, and her face couldn't have been more than a foot from air, even though she was inside the car trying to breathe the air that was in there.
00:44:01.080
If you want my opinion on it, when they did the inquest, there was blood that went down the back of her blouse, probably to the small of her back.
00:44:13.080
They dismissed it as some sort of nonsense as foam from her mouth.
00:44:20.440
And I personally think that she was injured inside that car, and she may not have been all the way conscious either.
00:44:26.500
I think instinctually, when John Farrar pulled her out of the car, instinctually, she had found an air pocket up by what would be the foot hole because the car was upside down, so it would be where you would put your feet.
00:44:40.100
That's a question that's puzzled us for years, and we don't have a lot of answers about Chappaquiddick, but what we've done is we'll give you who Mary Jo was.
00:44:48.380
So we can tell you what probably didn't happen, for instance, this rumor about her being in an affair with Ted Kennedy.
00:44:55.300
There's a good chance that that never happened because of who Mary Jo was and her upbringing and her Catholic and her values and things like that.
00:45:02.960
So when you find out what didn't happen, it kind of leads you down the path of what possibly could happen.
00:45:08.040
And I wish more people would do that that were there or that know things.
00:45:11.200
I wish more people would come forward with whatever little pieces of information that they may have, and that at least we know are fact.
00:45:17.960
These girls all came together because they had scattered, and this was their last chance to see each other.
00:45:24.340
A few of them, including Mary Jo, had been chosen to clean up the office, send things to the museums, send things home, send things to the office.
00:45:33.560
It was a very tragic task for them because they had loved the senator.
00:45:41.160
And so this was a chance for them to be together.
00:45:44.000
But no one has ever come to Gwen and Jo and said, I saw Mary Jo.
00:45:52.280
And so they've never had the last few hours of their daughter's life.
00:45:58.020
So wait, so wait, none of the boiler girls ever got together with the family and...
00:46:07.400
But Gwen and Jo were so sedated, to tell you the truth, that...
00:46:12.800
And none of them were ever introduced to any of us, so we never got a chance to talk to them either.
00:46:19.120
And afterward, when it was calmed down and they thought that, well, now the senator will come forward and talk to them,
00:46:26.460
he did call them, ask them to come to Hyannis Port, and they thought, well, now we'll find out what happened that night.
00:46:34.860
But when they got there, they walked into a cocktail party.
00:46:41.240
And so they turned around and went home and more or less hibernated the rest of their lives.
00:46:46.820
But he never, as far as I know, never even said, I'm sorry.
00:46:55.760
And I haven't read it yet, but I hope that it picks the story up before and after the movie Chappaquiddick.
00:47:08.960
Yeah, it starts from actually her heritage and where she came from.
00:47:14.500
It continues up past her death into Gwen and Jo's life without her.
00:47:20.460
And what we did is we took all the letters that we had received from people around the world,
00:47:24.600
well, Gwen and Jo had received, and we had actually inherited them.
00:47:27.800
And we put them in the book to tell Mary Jo's story through the eyes of other people, through her friends, her co-workers.
00:47:34.660
Now, she was great, but not because we say so, but because everyone who knew her said so.
00:47:39.500
So all the people surrounding her had an opportunity to go on and be lawyers and be publicists and have very successful lives.
00:47:46.280
So we'd only assume Mary Jo would also have done that, too.
00:48:01.860
Paul Kangor, he is an author of a book called Dupes, How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century.
00:48:12.980
And I want to talk to him a little bit about how the Soviets manipulated people in Congress and the media here in just a minute.
00:48:21.180
But I want to stop real quick and ask him about Senator Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick story.
00:48:35.980
They've never really done a national interview before and that nobody ever talked to the family about it.
00:48:45.860
And so they kind of just the parents just died in isolation and nobody ever said anything.
00:48:56.520
In fact, I had caught the interview at the Blaze.
00:49:00.200
And, you know, the original book that I think a lot of the movie seems to be based on, I haven't seen the movie yet.
00:49:10.460
It was Leo DeMore's book, which was called Senatorial Privilege, the Chappaquiddick cover-up.
00:49:19.080
And I remember at the time, I was an undergrad.
00:49:29.640
And I was just flipping the channels one night.
00:49:39.160
And his original publisher, I think it was Random House, had spiked the book after giving him $150,000 advance.
00:49:48.260
And that was after pressure from the Kennedy family.
00:49:50.720
And it was Regnery, Regnery that published the book.
00:49:59.520
He actually took his own life in the late 1990s.
00:50:04.400
But it was the first time that I heard all that information.
00:50:10.860
And you probably know this as well as I do, at least from what we know.
00:50:23.600
I mean, my understanding is that the car didn't go into Cape Cod.
00:50:30.620
The bottom of the vehicle was actually exposed.
00:50:38.420
They thought that she might have lived for up to three hours.
00:50:47.380
And he went away from the scene or walked away or ran away because he didn't want to get hit with drunk driving, surely, right?
00:50:57.380
And had he done that and he would have been accused of drunk driving and killing somebody in the process, that would have hurt his career.
00:51:08.140
He hoped to be the next Kennedy who would run for president of the United States.
00:51:19.320
Bobby Kennedy was assassinated just the year before.
00:51:26.740
And then you go back even a couple more Kennedy boys.
00:51:36.440
And then there was also another Kennedy boy, Joe Jr., who some people say this was the most impressive Kennedy boy of all of them.
00:51:46.300
Yeah, it's you know, it's now that there were tragedies that happened, but this was not one of the tragedies.
00:51:56.000
So, you know, you can't link this to the the the Kennedy curse.
00:52:06.920
He's the author of Dupes, How America's Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for Over a Century.
00:52:12.040
I want to take a quick break and come back and talk to Paul.
00:52:15.060
He's a he's a political science professor and has written extensively on on history.
00:52:21.480
And we go back to Ted Kennedy and his relationship with the Soviet Union and how he was, I think, willingly duped by the Soviet Union and how this has happened before.
00:52:35.100
And and I, I think, Paul, and I'd love to hear your opinion.
00:52:38.980
It's happening to members of the press and members on the right and the left right now in Syria with Russia.
00:52:47.160

00:54:16.620
Paul, I'm I'm watching the news come out today where I'm watching some media people start to hold up Russia as the good guys in this in this battle over in the Middle East.
00:54:33.040
And they are they are siding with Iran and Syria.
00:54:38.880
You know, your allies would tell you a little bit something about if you're on the right side or not.
00:54:43.520
This isn't the first time that Russia has used members of Congress or politicians or the media or people on the streets and turn them into little advocates for them.
00:55:03.360
I mean, they they've been masters of manipulation for decades.
00:55:06.560
They they had a department of agit prop agitation and propaganda.
00:55:13.200
The Russian word for it was desinformatsia, which is a long, clunky word.
00:55:18.220
But I mentioned it because because they practically pioneered it.
00:55:22.040
I mean, they they were great at learning how to work people in the American media, people in the American Congress.
00:55:29.540
And they they always targeted progressives because, you know, they figured progressives being on the left were far less anti-communist.
00:55:39.520
And those are the people that they could dupe and sucker.
00:55:42.060
And in fact, it would have been Vladimir Putin's KGB.
00:55:47.520
Putin was there throughout the 1980s that that that that duped and used and hoodwinked Ted Kennedy, you know, just to carry over from our last segment and Chappaquiddick.
00:55:58.320
They they worked Ted Kennedy over a really good a number of times in the 1970s and 1980s.
00:56:06.280
And at the word, the worst example of this was when Kennedy and we actually have now a May 14th, 1983 memo from the head of the KGB, Viktor Chebrukov.
00:56:20.860
And it was directly addressed to the head of the Soviet Union, Yuri Andropov.
00:56:32.380
And this was all about, as the actual document says, quote, regarding Senator Kennedy's request to the general secretary of the Communist Party and drop off.
00:56:44.000
And and that request, I think this fits perfectly with with exactly what you're talking about.
00:56:49.180
Kennedy in in this note, again, communication directly from the head of the KGB.
00:56:57.100
And it was communicated directly on the scene by by John Tunney, who is a former Democratic senator from California.
00:57:05.340
He had been a law school roommate of Ted Kennedy.
00:57:08.300
And Kennedy there tells the Russians that there's this bad situation internationally where the situation is deteriorating in U.S.-Soviet relations.
00:57:19.780
He's very troubled by this, but he blames it on Reagan.
00:57:27.700
The memo says the problem was Reagan's belligerence compounded by Reagan's stubbornness.
00:57:35.200
According to Kennedy, wrote Chebrakov, the current threat is due to the president's refusal to engage any modification to his politics.
00:57:45.160
And so that being the case, Kennedy actually offers and it says here, Kennedy believes that given the state of current affairs and in the interest of peace, it would be prudent and timely to undertake the following steps to counter the militaristic policies of Reagan.
00:58:03.360
And among those steps, Kennedy offered to connect Andropov and the Russians and the Kremlin with sympathetic people in the American media.
00:58:14.200
And the memo actually even notes Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters as two people that the Russians could be connected to.
00:58:23.680
So kind of the moral of the story and the overarching angle here that continues to this day, the Russians always knew and always understood, and this is going on now with Syria, that if there's a Republican in the White House that they don't like and who's doing something in foreign policy that they don't like,
00:58:45.640
they could always count on sympathetic people, liberals, progressives in the American media, in Congress, and in the Senate, to step up and help them out to be dupes.
00:58:57.180
Paul Kangor, the name of the book is Dupes, How America's Adversaries Have Been Manipulating Progressives for a Century.
00:59:17.280
You know, talking about the Syrian thing, this is why it's so important for you to understand what's happening in Syria.
00:59:28.680
It's not even about the United States and Russia.
00:59:35.180
Well, Hamas and Hezbollah, Hezbollah is the army of Iran.
00:59:48.100
Hezbollah has come out and along with the Al-Quds fighters, which means Jerusalem, Al-Quds, Quds meaning Jerusalem.
00:59:55.620
They are the armies that are being sent in from Iran.
01:00:00.700
Iran sees weakness in Assad, and Assad is allowing them to come in and occupy this space, and they are trying to take and build a crescent-shaped Iran and trying to come over to the top of Israel.
01:00:23.980
And we know this because in Israel, I'm sorry, in Syria, the commander of the Iranian troops has just said recently their action is almost complete.
01:00:39.960
Their encirclement of Israel is almost complete.
01:00:44.340
They have Syria, they have Lebanon, they now have Gaza as well.
01:00:50.120
The protesters in Gaza sent a viral love letter out to the head general of the Al-Quds fighting brigade, which is Iranian, saying, you know, we love you, we're waiting for you, hurry soon.
01:01:05.460
And the plan is to overwhelm Israel and take Jerusalem.
01:01:22.780
It happens to be in ours as well, but they believe they are enacting their end times theology.
01:01:29.980
This is the way they hasten the return of the promised one.
01:01:36.520
The Palestinians are being stirred up by Iran right now, and they're being used to try to penetrate the border wall in the Gaza Strip.
01:01:49.040
They are causing all kinds of distress there, where a proxy war between the United States and Russia is happening, and no one is talking about Israel.
01:01:59.260
Israel's 70th birthday or anniversary is right around the corner.
01:02:04.480
In fact, next week, here at our studios in Las Colinas, Texas, there is a Israel's 70th celebrate the miracle dinner that is going on.
01:02:20.400
We don't open our doors for everybody, but we wanted to open our doors for this group that is celebrating the 70th birthday of Israel.
01:02:40.620
If you've never heard Rafael Cruz speak, he is fantastic.
01:02:43.680
But it's a dinner in support of Israel, and that is happening, I believe, is it next Thursday, April 26th?
01:02:52.700
It's a cocktail reception, dinner, and then the program and dessert and everything else.
01:02:57.500
You can find your tickets at hayovel, H-A-Y-O-V-E-L, yahovel.com, slash Israel70, or at glennbeck.com.
01:03:10.520
Interesting you bring up Rafael Cruz after a segment about the Kennedys.
01:03:19.520
I thought you were going to say, interesting, you bring up Rafael Cruz and Israel, and we're just six days away from the rapture.
01:03:38.700
I mean, I'll be chosen to go, but I'm probably going to stay.
01:03:43.320
David Mead has come out and said that April 23rd, the sun and the moon will be in Virgo, as will Jupiter, which represents the Messiah.
01:03:57.580
Remember, we had the guy on who was saying that the end of it.
01:04:03.460
It's a totally different guy with the same name.
01:04:10.260
Anyway, he says that the date of the rapture is April 23rd, and it's the alignment of the stars.
01:04:25.100
You don't have to pack anything, because you're going as you came.
01:04:30.540
But for the rest of us, we'll still be broadcasting on Friday.
01:04:46.000
There's a giant sign behind you that says, Rapture Countdown, six days.
01:04:55.760
That's an internal message, just so we all know.
01:05:11.120
There's more important things than politics, though.
01:05:20.320
Is that more important than the tiger that is running amok in Manhattan?
01:05:30.980
A green activist who was a pioneering lawyer for gay and transgender rights, including the
01:05:35.120
notorious Boys Don't Cry rape murder case, committed suicide by setting himself on fire
01:05:41.120
on Saturday morning in Prospect Park in Brooklyn to show how bad fossil fuels were.
01:05:47.920
He burned himself to death using fossil fuels to reflect how mankind was likewise killing
01:05:55.840
Police sources say he left a note in a manila envelope, which killed trees.
01:06:09.920
I'm going to leave this here, but don't let it blow into my fire.
01:06:15.560
My early death by fossil fuels reflects what we are doing to ourselves.
01:06:20.540
It's interesting because if people really were dying because of fossil fuels, why would
01:06:27.620
You would just say, hey, let me show you this video.
01:06:30.500
Or let me go to this area where everyone's dying of fossil fuels.
01:06:34.280
Instead, he had to set himself on fire because fossil fuels aren't doing the thing he says they're
01:06:43.480
He was a lead lawyer in a 2000 lawsuit about boys don't cry.
01:06:47.520
Of course, you remember, you're a big fan, Glenn, of that movie, 1999, Hilary Swank.
01:06:53.180
Also fought for the rights of gay high school students in Salt Lake City to organize a club.
01:06:59.280
He argued against discrimination in the Boy Scouts of America and the military.
01:07:04.560
And then decided, you know, the temperature's gone up by 0.9 degrees.
01:07:11.580
You know, like, I feel like if you're going to light yourself on fire, but we know this
01:07:17.620
Guy lights himself on fire, starts the Arab Spring.
01:07:20.900
There's a big movement that kind of is, that comes out of that, right?
01:07:26.740
The lighting yourself on fire usually signifies, I think I'm starting something big.
01:07:39.080
It seems like you're going to burn yourself alive.
01:07:41.500
Yeah, you make sure a camera's there or something.
01:07:43.420
Like, you don't do it in the middle of the night and leave a manila envelope next to you.
01:07:47.100
I'm going to say you shouldn't set yourself on fire.
01:07:59.220
No, I just think I'm just going to, I think it stands on its own.
01:08:07.320
Some stories, some stories from New York, they don't even, no matter how big, imagine
01:08:14.480
if, let's say your town, there was a lion, was it a lion, a tiger?
01:08:25.780
I mean, at least all of the, it'd be front page of the paper, don't you think?
01:08:29.480
Okay, New York Times, this is how crazy New York is.
01:08:34.420
Manhattan, it's not on the front page of the New York Times, okay?
01:08:39.020
Helicopters were out because they had several residents call and say, there is a tiger loose
01:08:44.660
on the streets of Manhattan, and it was a, it was a, it's a social media frenzy, but things
01:08:52.260
are so crazy, this guy's setting himself on fire.
01:08:58.860
So it, it, uh, it was happening, uh, this tiger was loose.
01:09:03.540
Between 166th, uh, street, uh, in, in, in Harlem and, uh, and St. Nicholas Avenue.
01:09:14.220
It happens around 830 in the morning and they, the, the fire department, everybody, I mean,
01:09:26.580
They call the firemen and the firemen don't have anybody else to call.
01:09:30.800
So they go out and they start searching for this tiger.
01:09:36.260
Now these people in Manhattan, you know, they've lived in the city all their life, but they're
01:09:46.620
Fire, fire, firemen, uh, capture the, uh, the tiger.
01:09:59.040
Uh, by the, the, the, um, by the people who, uh, called, uh, police as the tiger that they
01:10:10.160
It was, it was, uh, it's what we would call a raccoon.
01:10:20.140
You can't expect them to be able to tell the difference between a tiger and a raccoon.
01:10:32.900
So, I mean, I've seen, I've seen Tony the tiger.
01:10:38.460
He's, he's, he can fit on your, your cereal box.
01:10:46.800
This is not a normal, this is a normal size raccoon, by the way.
01:10:51.680
You may have lost touch with nature if you're living in New York, I think is the lesson
01:10:55.440
I think, I think you might've lost touch with reality if you live in Manhattan and you
01:10:59.160
think a, a, a tiger, uh, is raccoon, uh, or, you know, or it was just a really cute
01:11:05.760
That would be a cute, that would actually, no, that would just be a cat.
01:11:11.500
Uh, there's a couple of stories here that I pulled today for future shows that you, uh,
01:11:24.200
The, uh, the, I think it's, uh, Danville pension.
01:11:30.920
The Illinois comptroller intercepted the municipality tax revenues, more than 400 police and fire
01:11:37.300
pension funds, 63% of Illinois, 651 total downstate public safety funds received less
01:11:46.860
The first city has gone, uh, belly up here with their, uh, with their pension fund.
01:11:56.480
Also, there's a story about how the dollar is falling, and this is a victory for Trump
01:12:02.140
because it will mean more saving, more, um, uh, spending by other countries.
01:12:09.100
But what that means is your dollar, your dollar is falling, which means if you left money in
01:12:15.980
the bank, you're losing money every day because we're devaluing the dollar.
01:12:23.080
People overseas, as their money goes up against the dollar, they can buy more of our stuff,
01:12:31.140
This is the game that's being played in Washington and it could be spun, you know, any way you
01:12:36.060
like, but the truth is when the dollar loses value, you lose money and purchasing power.
01:12:45.340
If I may suggest, please call Goldline, 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:12:53.980
Apparently the administration is very thrilled and so are some that are just looking at the
01:13:01.120
The dollar is, is caving and, uh, it's, uh, the, the currencies all around the world are
01:13:10.300
It might be a good thing for the stats, but for you, it's not good.
01:13:15.080
Call Goldline now, hedge your bet, spread your risk out a bit and have some physical
01:13:23.240
1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
01:13:43.420
So there's been a ruling in the Supreme Court and it was split across, uh, party lines.
01:13:49.500
Well, except for one, uh, voting with the now majority and making it the majority, um,
01:13:56.500
was Gorsuch and it was on immigration and the majority was the, the liberal side.
01:14:03.840
Kagan, Breyer, uh, Sotomayor, Ginsburg and Gorsuch voting together on an immigration law.
01:14:12.780
Uh, and you know, the, the law basically says you get an automatic deportation if you commit
01:14:18.780
a crime of violence and the Gorsuch argument is essentially crime of violence is too vague.
01:14:25.760
You need to actually list exactly what you, what you're, it's actually what, what I thought
01:14:33.840
Is a, is drunk driving a crime of violence or not?
01:14:43.180
And that's kind of the argument that Gorsuch makes, which I think does make some sense though.
01:14:51.720
And also, I mean, you know, I'm just kind of, you know, we're just skimming the basics
01:14:55.640
I mean, I think there's an argument to be made that that can be true.
01:14:58.860
Um, though, you know, there's a separate dissent.
01:15:02.660
There's a, there's separate, several dissents and several opinions.
01:15:09.120
I was, I was watching, um, I was reading an article yesterday about how the, the, the court
01:15:13.440
has turned, uh, more to the left over the years.
01:15:16.560
Um, and they show a ranking of where these guys vote and you see every one of them has
01:15:22.620
these wild swings, you know, even Scalia was more conservative than he, where he was at
01:15:28.020
You see people like Kennedy, uh, Stevens, who was actually started on the slightly conservative
01:15:38.040
It is always the most conservative and the most consistent.
01:15:45.140
You shouldn't, you shouldn't be going up and down on these scales.
01:15:47.340
They should, you should be, your, your, your line should look like Clarence Thomas's line.
01:15:53.380
Well, you could be, you could be constitutional, which would sometimes put you into the, uh, social
01:16:03.760
Uh, but, uh, you know, Clarence Thomas has gone through a wall of fire.
01:16:07.260
He knows exactly who he was when he got in Glenn and he hasn't changed.
01:16:24.640
Have you noticed how many politicians don't know when it's time to call it quits?
01:16:30.100
I mean, the career politicians, like 75 year old Joe Biden, guys like Joe cannot let it go.
01:16:36.200
He is only surpassed by, I think, pro athletes, uh, and Hillary Clinton as to, you know, knowing
01:16:44.860
Apparently out of work, Joe needs something to do because he was there Sunday keeping his
01:16:50.680
foot in the door for a 2020 presidential run by showing up on Al Sharpton's MSNBC show.
01:16:57.540
I, I, I, I didn't know he even had one still, but apparently he does.
01:17:02.200
And Joe Biden knew about it, or at least one of his advisors or somebody knew about it,
01:17:09.680
And so he showed up Biden's eight year paid vacation as Obama's vice president.
01:17:15.140
Apparently wasn't enough of a victory lap for this former Senator from Delaware.
01:17:21.500
And I guess the prospect of a schoolyard rumble with president Trump is just too good to pass
01:17:32.660
There's part of me that says, yeah, let him fight.
01:17:36.340
But old habits die hard for career politicians.
01:17:39.320
If we concede that guys like Biden cannot let go of the limelight, couldn't it at least make
01:17:52.380
He hasn't even officially announced his candidacy yet, but on Sharpton's show, he pulled out the
01:17:56.860
same old tired party lines about Republicans trying to keep working class people and back
01:18:02.760
You know, they don't want any black people voting for them.
01:18:06.640
You realize just this past year in 24 states, the administration's allies have have introduced
01:18:14.700
60 pieces of legislation or maybe 70 pieces of legislation to curtail the franchise.
01:18:25.660
Republicans don't want working class people voting.
01:18:30.140
I mean, it's just like, hey, let's roll a doobie, man.
01:18:50.980
I just got to see him in his keep on trucking t-shirt from the 1970s.
01:18:56.580
Now, this particular line is frayed and full of holes.
01:19:02.480
But, you know, that doesn't stop him from trotting it out, man.
01:19:09.660
Of course, Republicans want as many black people to vote as possible.
01:19:15.460
Funny how the same strategy applies regardless of race, isn't it?
01:19:22.960
If Joe Biden really wants to keep score over which party has fought more for fundamental
01:19:28.600
rights of black Americans, it's not really going to like the historical evidence all that
01:19:41.660
This is a guy who had to drop out of the race in 1988.
01:19:58.740
The two biggest one, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.
01:20:06.040
They're living in a in a complete made up world where the truth only matters when it's
01:20:23.360
I read a great article on Medium the other day that I want to share parts of it with you
01:20:38.880
We live in a world that is run by a pendulum, I think, you know, the.
01:20:44.760
The deists during the early enlightenment believed that there was a God, but he was a watchmaker
01:20:53.060
and he assembled the watch and then he walked away.
01:20:56.320
He set the time, started it going, and then he walks away from it.
01:21:05.980
Well, let's use that analogy here for a second, because in some ways it does work that way.
01:21:14.440
It's a it's a clock and it just it doesn't change no matter how much you want it to change.
01:21:21.900
It just continues to tick and it's 60 minutes is never rubber.
01:21:32.980
And when we get too far on the outside, it's it's crazy unstable and it's never good.
01:21:41.800
It's when that pendulum is just right towards the six o'clock, if you will, right at the bottom.
01:21:56.560
Where where where we are being pushed to those edges.
01:22:00.860
And right now, the extreme is being pushed so far to the left.
01:22:19.300
And yet that group is getting smaller and smaller and smaller until you're going to eventually range, you know, right.
01:22:25.980
My group, my group, my group is my group is Asian-Americans.
01:22:31.200
Well, not all Asian-Americans, Asian-Americans whose family has come here in the last two generations, but not just any last two generation, Asian-American, Asian-American generation that migrated from China.
01:22:46.760
And they came here because they were all missing one left foot.
01:22:52.040
And eventually you get to just you and your case.
01:22:56.660
Because if you noticed, they're all starting to eat each other now.
01:23:01.080
I mean, when RuPaul is called out by transgendered people.
01:23:11.680
It's I mean, it's it's RuPaul for the love of Pete.
01:23:14.340
So let me let me just share this medium article.
01:23:19.300
The biggest oversight of today's pro-diversity extremists is that they forget that literally diversity cannot be sustained without coexistence.
01:23:30.120
Remember those bumper stickers that used to piss people off?
01:23:41.660
You know, I don't mean I have to agree with you, but I pretty much have to live next door to you.
01:23:47.480
It's like a pretty low hurdle to clear as well.
01:23:50.480
You're just kind of both existing at the same time.
01:23:53.840
We can't all have, you know, white, black, Asian, male, female, intersex, trans, gay, straight, cis, tall, short, fat, skinny, liberal, conservative, all living together exactly the same way.
01:24:11.060
And if they don't tolerate one another, what happens?
01:24:19.460
The article says, let me give you two types of people in this world.
01:24:25.240
One, those who can tolerate people who don't think, look, live, or feel like them within the confines of the law.
01:24:36.200
Or two, those who cannot tolerate who don't think, look, live, or feel like them within the confines of the law.
01:24:46.380
And if you're a number two person in any shape or form, then you are not pro-diversity.
01:24:57.680
And it doesn't matter if you're black or white, gay or straight.
01:25:07.500
If black people resent and mock white people for their white privilege and gay people resent and mock straight people for their privilege,
01:25:16.460
and women resent and mock men for their privilege, and trans people resent and mock cis people for their privilege,
01:25:23.800
and poor people resent and mock rich people for their privilege,
01:25:27.040
submissive men resent and mock dominant men for their privilege,
01:25:30.700
Unattractive people resent and mock attractive people for their privilege.
01:25:36.240
Bald people resent and mock fully maimed people for their privilege.
01:25:40.760
Disabled people resent and mock able-bodied people for their privilege.
01:25:44.400
Liberals resent and mock conservatives for their privilege.
01:25:46.960
Vegetarians resent and mock meat eaters for their privilege.
01:25:49.860
Vegans resent and mock vegetarians for their privilege.
01:25:53.000
Christians resent and mock Jews for their privileges.
01:25:56.160
Muslims resent and mock Christians for their privilege.
01:25:59.640
atheists resent and mock theists for their privilege uh and pentecostal christians resent
01:26:05.340
and mock catholic christians for their privilege on and on and on and on this is a recipe for
01:26:12.080
conflict not peace not unity this is what causes wars
01:26:20.320
now what happens is people will say well wait a minute here
01:26:35.820
no if they are actually promoting the idea of racial supremacy and the violent subjugation of
01:26:48.640
people well no you do resist those people the the sexists that believe they are superior and
01:26:57.660
entitled to have power over another sex no matter which of the 94 or 114 genders it may be uh no
01:27:06.160
no i resist those who make decisions based solely on gender homophobes people that have believe that
01:27:13.800
uh the the the lifestyle of gay people has to be exactly what you decide no i i don't i don't know
01:27:24.200
i don't think we we do that other than that yeah i think we all have to get along that's interesting
01:27:33.580
it's similar to what amy chua was saying yesterday um on the show in that we've come to a point where
01:27:39.820
the people who claim to be diverse are so strident in their opposition to any other viewpoint
01:27:47.540
diversity is a joke i mean it's really even when you were reading that when you were talking about
01:27:53.400
diversity you kind of cringe at the word not because you don't you cringe at the idea of actual
01:27:58.560
diversity diversity is great we i mean in in real terms as the word actually means
01:28:04.740
from a dictionary it's great but what it is in political terms today is just a way to beat up
01:28:12.280
on people who are too conservative here's here's the thing diversity makes you stronger okay real
01:28:19.260
diversity makes you stronger you know that there are some animals that are both and neither x nor y
01:28:26.820
chromosome male or female yeah okay and they can procreate they can become a female or a male doesn't
01:28:33.880
matter they can play both it's creepy right it's creepy however they um they do that for survival
01:28:43.240
they actually physically change for survival all right but here's the problem they clone themselves
01:28:52.860
because they have nobody to mate with so they clone themselves and what happens all of a sudden
01:29:00.620
there's this population explosion it's happening with the crawfish in europe yeah it's happening now
01:29:06.980
this explosion where everybody's like there's gonna be a world covered in crawfish no you're not you know
01:29:13.600
why because it's inherently weak it will come against a predator or it will come against a disease or
01:29:22.160
something and they will all die because one thing will kill all of them because there's
01:29:30.560
no diversity there's no genetic diversity whatever that one has they all have it whatever the one
01:29:37.960
weakness is they all have it we need diversity we need genetic diversity and we need mental diversity
01:29:48.800
i don't know anybody who's against that except when you start talking politics and then everybody
01:29:56.180
seems to be against it guys we need each other we have to live with each other we have to stop trying
01:30:04.480
to criminalize somebody else's point of view there's a there is a um a free speech survey that was just put
01:30:12.380
put out on to the uh university presidents 471 college presidents how do you value free speech 82 percent of
01:30:25.240
university presidents believe it is important to promote an inclusive society that is welcome to
01:30:30.620
diverse groups although 85 percent said shouting down speakers or trying to prevent them from talking
01:30:37.780
is never acceptable and 74 percent said that protecting citizens free speech rights is extremely
01:30:43.960
important 96 percent answered that they believe it's more important to allow students to be exposed to
01:30:50.340
all types of speeches even if they may find it offensive or biased than to protect students by
01:30:56.580
prohibiting speech they may find offensive or biased 96 percent of all university presidents say that it is
01:31:06.080

01:33:22.360
so they're already in real time rewriting history and it's the history that our kids are studying
01:33:30.400
if you're not reading the history books with your kids and going over their tests with them
01:33:34.160
and talking to them every night um you you shouldn't be surprised at the product that you
01:33:40.160
get at the end of their schooling nyu professor james frazier is rewriting history uh and he's he's
01:33:47.160
making it a progressive narrative he penned by the people a history of the united states it's a
01:33:52.720
textbook for advanced placement american history high school class um and it is it's riddled with
01:33:58.900
thinly veiled criticism of president trump uh blatant insults aimed at those who voted for him
01:34:04.260
and anti-police rhetoric now i've read this and some of this is really bad some of it is
01:34:09.980
i guess you have to take it as a whole because some of it is like i don't know you could read it
01:34:17.460
that way i guess but if you take it to if you look at it as a whole it's it tips the scales i mean here's
01:34:25.220
one of the really bad ones um most thought this talking about the last election most thought that
01:34:30.800
trump was too extreme a candidate to win the nomination but his extremism his anti-establishment
01:34:36.900
rhetoric and some said his not very hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary
01:34:43.200
voters okay well who are the some some said who are the some how many people said that
01:34:50.480
his not so hidden racist comments is his attitudes i mean i think that leads needs a little more
01:34:59.020
explanation or needs to be left out some is a nice way to say it's what i think yes um but i don't
01:35:06.680
want to take responsibility for it so i'll just reference random others that may have said
01:35:11.480
something similar now he detests stereotyping but listen to this trump supporters saw the vote as a
01:35:16.720
victory for the people who like themselves had been forgotten in fast-changing america okay i don't have
01:35:22.880
a problem with that you mostly older often rural or suburban and overwhelmingly white clinton supporters
01:35:32.380
feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of rapidly developing
01:35:38.140
ethnic diversity of the country discomfort with their candidates gender and nostalgia for an earlier
01:35:44.820
time in the nation's history they also worried about the mental instability of the president-elect
01:35:50.160
and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation holy cow why don't you just take
01:35:55.140
hillary clinton's india speech yeah pretty much quoting i mean it is it is there's there's more uh in
01:36:04.340
this and i just want to share it uh with you and and and and go over it because you have to go over
01:36:11.240
this with your kids you have to go over this with your kids and and to find a way to talk to your kids
01:36:18.520
about this in a balanced way where they won't take the side of the teacher automatically we'll talk
01:36:35.880
you're listening to the glenn beck program so reading this textbook
01:36:47.760
uh that is now in classrooms called by the people a history of the united states it's a textbook for
01:36:53.940
advanced placement american history high school classes and by the way do you know that now to
01:37:00.180
get a history major world history major you don't have to take a single course in american history
01:37:09.060
not one not one how how do you understand world history if you don't understand the united states
01:37:17.560
how do you understand if if we don't have to take any world his any american history to
01:37:25.560
to qualify as a as a history teacher a world history teacher how how is that possible did the united
01:37:34.020
states not play a role in anything that's happened the last 220 years it would not play any role i mean
01:37:40.040
how is that possible it's really the only important role to understand correct right it's the by far the
01:37:46.600
most dynamic change correct i mean we've tried things that no one had tried before we are now no longer
01:37:53.200
teaching the founders in fact some school districts are now only teaching american history
01:37:58.160
post 1900 what a surprise because that's when oh the progressive era started isn't that interesting
01:38:06.700
history history is written by those in power and the good news is you have the ability to
01:38:18.020
to to to teach history it's being made every day to teach history to your kids and it's imperative
01:38:26.760
that you do in this advanced uh placement textbook for high school by the people is the name of the
01:38:33.960
book um i gave you a couple of things one is uh most thought that trump was too extreme of a candidate to
01:38:40.140
win the nomination but his extremism his anti-establishment rhetoric and some said his not very hidden
01:38:47.220
racism connected with a significant number of primary voters so i would agree with i'd say 90 percent of
01:38:56.060
this most thought that trump was extreme candidate who couldn't win the nomination i contend even
01:39:01.140
donald trump's people didn't think he could win the nomination but he went in as an extreme candidate
01:39:05.540
to shake up the system his his uh anti-establishment rhetoric yeah that connected with a lot of people
01:39:13.260
now his extremism and his not very hidden racism no no uh did some people perceive some of the things
01:39:24.080
he said as racist yeah yeah they did who are those people i don't know do they exist yeah in what
01:39:31.580
number i don't know i mean that that shouldn't be in that textbook that's not you could say some
01:39:38.460
people felt that he had hidden racist tendencies as long as you say others vehemently denied that
01:39:45.660
he says he goes on clinton supporters feared the election uh had been determined by people who were
01:39:54.640
afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country can we stop with this i don't know a soul
01:40:02.640
that is afraid of the country changing because there are all these black people here
01:40:09.680
i see brown people no nobody i don't know of anybody that is feeling that way i don't know
01:40:17.460
anybody that is like whites are going to be in the minority we got to start killing me some of those
01:40:22.620
other colored people you know people in the media you know the richard spencers of the world of course
01:40:27.580
like that they do exist they're in small numbers here's what people are feeling
01:40:31.700
the american culture the culture that we've had from the beginning of neighborliness decency honor
01:40:41.700
integrity we've failed all of those things over and over again but for the most part you could
01:40:48.800
predict america you could predict what your neighbor would do and we all generally agreed on
01:40:56.040
the bill of rights even though we wouldn't live up to them all the time we were always progressing
01:41:01.140
and getting better there's no finish line and so we're always progressing and getting better but
01:41:05.800
generally we all agreed on those things well here's what i'm afraid of and it has nothing to do with the
01:41:12.340
color of skin it does have something to do with people coming in from other countries let's say sweden
01:41:19.340
sweden i don't want a bunch of swedes in here that want to make america like sweden no then live in
01:41:27.640
sweden i want you to come here if you're like you know we had some really good things you know but
01:41:34.160
it may not work here because it's diverse there's no diversity in sweden or what a surprise as soon
01:41:41.100
as we started introducing some some sort of diversity the whole thing started to shimmy apart
01:41:46.280
huh wonder if that had anything to do with it i don't want people here who want to recreate
01:41:51.840
their country i don't want people here who just want to be an american because you can become rich
01:41:58.160
by the world's standards i want people here who understand the opportunity that our constitution
01:42:05.640
provides and that's what we're losing but we're losing it with white people and black people and
01:42:11.280
young people and old people we're losing it everywhere there's nobody generating those kind of people and
01:42:17.540
that's what i think people fear and they saw donald trump as a guy who's like i love the country you
01:42:23.020
say whatever you want but he loves the country i'm sorry i don't think that was a universal opinion
01:42:31.740
under barack obama now you may not agree with donald trump's version of the country but he loved it
01:42:41.860
and people wanted they want a president who's like i'm on i'm on our side i'm on our side that played
01:42:50.120
to a lot of people they felt that he loved the country that's important it does it has less to do
01:42:59.120
with race i think he goes on to say uh uh it was uh afraid of rapidly developing ethnic diversity of
01:43:08.380
the country or discomfort with their candidates gender look it's not 1970 anymore and hillary
01:43:16.240
clinton is not mary tyler moore she's more like an angry mod for the love of people can you love
01:43:23.180
a p can you hippies stop living in the 1960s and 70s you did you're the one that made the mod reference
01:43:31.080
i don't know because they'll understand it that's true though this idea that i mean is there again
01:43:39.780
is there someone out there in the sound of my voice that didn't vote for hillary clinton because she
01:43:44.960
was a woman maybe maybe i've never met anyone who's like that but it's possible okay try try this
01:43:51.860
on for size that's like me saying you know that melania hasn't been on uh on on magazine fashion
01:43:58.120
magazine covers any no she's been on one but i don't remember which one it was it wasn't a fashion
01:44:04.380
magazine but she was she was on vanity fair mexico yeah you're right you're right you're right you're
01:44:10.260
right it doesn't count because it's not american vanity fair mexico she has not been on the cover of
01:44:16.940
any women's magazine and think about the extensive propaganda we receive of the arms you must believe
01:44:26.380
michelle obama is beautiful you must she's on every fashion magazine she's on magazine after magazine
01:44:31.600
if you question her abs you were a monster a monster and then they put a super model in the white house
01:44:40.560
and she's on zero magazine covers i think that's because she's a woman stew
01:44:45.940
that's a dumb point exactly right making here it is the same point it is so if i said that with a
01:44:54.580
straight face to the left you're only doing that because she's a woman you would roll your eyes
01:45:00.220
rightfully so and say that's ridiculous and you'd bring up the point i liked when michelle obama was
01:45:06.460
on fashion magazines like we'd say well we liked carly fiorina but you would never give us any points
01:45:11.740
for that no you would never say remember who used to lead the polls you know a couple it was a couple
01:45:16.760
elections ago now but condoleezer rice used to be the person they would talk about leading the polls
01:45:20.800
have no problem no problem with women none stop it stop it then he says and uh there is a there was a
01:45:34.700
nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation's history yeah you know what that's true of everybody
01:45:40.340
that's true of everybody because we all look back the older you get the you look back and you're like
01:45:45.420
you know it was simpler those days no it wasn't it was simpler those days yeah you had to pump your
01:45:52.300
own water you had to go outside and crap in a box you had to wipe yourself with leaf it was never better
01:46:00.140
back then it was never better back then we have better things now we have easier times now we have
01:46:09.340
connection around the planet like we've like we've never ever had yes in your old timey memories you
01:46:17.820
can be like oh i remember going down to the fruit cellar in grandma's house and how i wonder grandma
01:46:23.840
worked her ass off to pick all of that food and then she spent all summer canning it and every time
01:46:30.060
she would look at you and say hey you know i gotta go down and get some beans you'd be like why can't
01:46:34.180
somebody else do it because you were freaked out about grandma's basement because it was dark and
01:46:39.100
spooky not like most basements today so please stop with the it was better in the old days it wasn't
01:46:46.200
it wasn't and and stop with this well you know what we need to do let me tell you i gotta i've got to
01:46:54.880
do you know i watched i watched who was that what's that chick's name who bill mark play in fact play
01:47:04.040
bill maher bill maher made this point on uh on uh watching old movies and the hashtag um me too
01:47:14.160
listen to this a recent article by molly ringwald got a lot of attention because she revisited the
01:47:19.860
breakfast club and her other 80s movies and found them troubling in the age of me too she said she was
01:47:26.260
taken aback by the scope of the ugliness oh please they were teen comedies not snuff films you can't
01:47:32.740
blame someone for not being woke 30 years before woke was a thing 20 years ago the jokes on friends
01:47:39.260
were just funny now some millennials some i applaud the sane ones
01:47:45.800
but some find the jokes sexist transphobic and fat shaming okay but if you spend your time combing
01:47:54.720
through old tv shows to identify stuff that by today's standards looks bad you're not woke you're
01:48:00.260
just a douche bag we're never finished evolving i hate to break it to you but no matter how woke
01:48:05.680
you think you are you are tolerating things right now that will make you cringe in 25 years
01:48:12.460
amen now let me speak to all the douche bags as bill maher has described and labeled those people who
01:48:20.320
want to look back in time and be outraged by something that was said or done 20 years ago
01:48:27.160
because i'm assuming that that douche bagginess continues beyond 20 years to perhaps 250 years
01:48:36.080
to our founders who definitely never you could go up to the ministry say you're not woke man
01:48:44.540
and they wouldn't know what the hell you were talking about joe biden could say hey dude man
01:48:52.520
keep on trucking just without all the african americans okay he wouldn't understand that
01:49:01.280
because he was in a different time so if we can lecture molly ringwald about her evolving standards
01:49:11.360
maybe we can do the same with those who want to say you know those founding fathers they were just evil
01:49:20.800
no they were a product of their day just like molly ringwald now the difference is she's a woman
01:49:29.680
so i'm gonna come down oh no wait i'm applying the same standard to a woman that i am an old dead guy
01:49:38.100
yeah but he was white and a man what happened there i don't know i'm so nostalgic for the for the good old
01:49:48.100
days when right was right and wrong was wrong and let's just go lynch him what the hell what the hell
01:49:54.820
is wrong with us this is the only show that will tie molly ringwald to the founders today and i am
01:50:00.260
anywhere else and i am thrilled to do it because it is the loss of american culture not white not black
01:50:09.780
not male female cisgen none of that it's none of that it is the loss that we all feel something's not
01:50:20.400
right something's not right i feel like we're we're our country is slipping through our fingers
01:50:29.120
because what i'm watching on tv would not have been acceptable and what's really i would love for this
01:50:37.960
guy to to write because he he wrote uh those who had long thought of a nation as a white and christian
01:50:43.760
country found it difficult to adjust to president barack obama really really because i don't think
01:50:49.020
that's what it was i think it was his policies i think it was his communist ties i think it was his
01:50:55.520
constant insistence on saying that america was bad and that you couldn't make it without government
01:51:03.960
help i think that's what it was but what's weird is the tea party didn't march on inaugural weekend
01:51:09.840
we didn't do that that was the democrats that seemed to have a problem with something beyond his policies
01:51:16.460
and they can't let it go and i think the textbook for american history should end this chapter on
01:51:24.100
what's strange is half the country felt the way under barack obama that the other half would soon feel
01:51:33.100
after the election of donald trump yet with so much in common
01:51:45.440
so some really exciting news for our friends at uh simply safe two weeks ago simply safe won a couple
