Celebrities wear an orange lapel pin in support gun control. Glenn Beck gives his thoughts on it. He also talks about the Oscars and calls for an end to Hollywood's obsession with the box office numbers and box office profits.
00:00:15.360Oh, another award show and another chance to display the fake morality of the elite and the privileged.
00:00:21.360I don't know if I can take it just another day. I just love it so very, very much.
00:00:27.460Celebrities yesterday chose to wear an orange lapel pin.
00:00:30.640Now, I don't have my color decoder kit yet, but apparently that was to support gun control on behalf of the organization Everytown for Gun Safety.
00:00:43.120This is a group that raises awareness about gun violence protection.
00:00:48.160They state their pins are a reminder that there's more we can all and should do to prevent more acts of gun violence.
00:00:55.840I didn't actually see any of it. I didn't turn on the Oscars. I don't care.
00:01:05.860I watched some clips so I could talk about it so you didn't have to, but don't worry.
00:01:11.260This is the only monologue about the Oscars here, and this is all I have to say.
00:01:16.160You know, just reading the monologue of Jimmy Kimmel says everything we need to know.
00:01:23.360There is only one place for any kind of conservative, anybody who believes in the Constitution, anybody who believes in preserving the good thing, not throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
00:01:37.340And that is as a butt of jokes. That's it. That's all we are. And that's fine.
00:01:44.260I mean, you can have your little community and, you know, there are little communities that make Hollywood the butt of their jokes.
00:01:50.760And that's totally fine. But Hollywood, you need to understand we don't really care anymore because we don't really need you anymore.
00:01:58.160We really don't. You need us more than we need you. Are we going to boycott your movies?
00:02:04.740No, no. For the most part, we'll still go. But we'll be probably a little more selective.
00:02:12.420But it's not like the days of the studio system anymore. We really don't need you.
00:02:17.960We don't need the movie theaters and the movie theaters know this.
00:02:21.640This is why they're all of a sudden, hey, I got an idea. We'll serve steak because we don't even need that.
00:02:28.440We have Netflix. We have Amazon. We have YouTube. We have our own independent channels.
00:02:34.020We don't need all of this anymore. And here's the thing. We're not victims. We're not victims.
00:02:42.000People who believe in self-reliance believe you do what you want to do. We'll do what we want to do.
00:02:48.720So I ain't going to react to you. We'll just create.
00:02:53.580Now, I encourage those who are creative to actually create because we can either complain or we can create.
00:03:03.880The basic choice is, how do you look at life?
00:05:39.080So the frame, the camera is moving and it shows the main character and he freezes it at a point to where somebody on, I don't know, right or left was wearing black.
00:05:48.460And I'm like, dude, if you wouldn't have stopped it, nobody would have noticed that you are way overthinking this because nobody picked up on that.
00:06:11.420It was like, wow, you're overthinking.
00:06:14.500So I'm not really going to listen to you on whether this is a good movie or a bad movie because you're overthinking it.
00:06:21.160Um, the, the, the, the interesting thing is, uh, how the movies are so anti-gun, the Hollywood is so anti-gun and yet they don't have a problem with putting in the, I saw, um, a, a PG 13, you know, warning.
00:06:41.820Have you ever read those every once in a while and some there's really like smoking is in there sometimes.
00:17:30.780Some blame the government at the very beginning and said the government is too involved.
00:17:34.880And others said, no, they're not enough involved.
00:17:38.160Now, when you look at the your your price of health care and what you're paying and how things are going, you're starting to just blame the government.
00:17:47.700Or are you still blaming the insurance companies and the doctors and the insurance?
00:17:54.040I mean, I remember when a president of the United States said there were doctors in this country that are cutting people's feet off because they could make more money.
00:25:18.780You have a right to have bail to be able to be free until proven guilty.
00:25:25.200I'll bet you there's stuff that we have violated on that one, especially with the, you know, the FISA laws and everything else we're doing.
00:25:35.400The right, these rights do not deny or disparage other rights held by the people.
00:25:41.980We don't even recognize the Ninth Amendment, that there are other rights and that they belong to the people.
00:25:46.100And the Tenth Amendment, of course, we all know, is just nothing but racist.
00:25:50.080There are more rights, but they're reserved to the states or to the people.
00:27:35.920You'll notice everything that we've done.
00:27:38.360While we've made the list of, here are the problems, here's who's to blame, politicians, Wall Street, government, corporations, globalism, media, religion, capitalism, socialists, education, the healthcare system, and guns.
00:27:54.700We've left off one thing, and that is us.
00:28:09.280So the people rise up because we have a right.
00:28:13.580We rise up and we say, there's a problem and we have to do something.
00:28:20.460And the government, who some people think are too big, some people think too small, and some people think it's just right except it's corrupt.
00:29:00.440And when I say you, I'm looking at us as a collective, but the people who are handling the guns, the people who are in the press, the people who are running the banks, the people who are Wall Streeters.
00:29:15.720Because every one of us are being limited because of a few bad apples and because we don't want to take responsibility and be specific.
00:32:01.620Because, you know, when it comes to Wall Street or the banking collapse, how many of us, and I'm not saying it's all, everybody has done all of this.
00:34:34.540We have seen—I've been with them for eight years.
00:34:37.640So I have seen the actual pictures of the wildfires in California where every home in a neighborhood is burnt to the ground,
00:34:44.600and there is nothing but the chimneys left, the fireplaces and the chimneys, and a Liberty Safe.
00:34:52.040And they open them up, and they're fine.
00:34:54.160We have seen over the last eight years, we have seen Liberty Safes picked up by hurricanes and dropped—or tornadoes—and dropped three blocks away.
00:35:03.120And they're still closed, and everything is still inside.
00:37:36.880The Ayatollah of Iran went on a Twitter rant on Saturday, which is weird because he's banned that platform for his people, but not for him or for any of the religious elite.
00:38:26.960He's he's all wound up and he's ticking.
00:38:29.720If you're an anti-Second Amendment person, you have to ask yourself, wow, I'm now in the company of somebody who refers to himself as the supreme leader.
00:38:42.340If anyone knows what this argument is really all about, it is really all about him.
00:38:50.580Guns helped the mullahs of Iran pull off their coup back in the 1970s.
00:38:55.380But after that, after that, after they obtained power, what was their first act?
00:39:02.380To take away guns from the people that put them in power.
00:42:49.82026% now of the American people can tell you what the three branches of government are.
00:42:55.340How do we save a country that isn't even interested in knowing what it is we're trying to save?
00:43:03.000Well, you know what, Glenn, one of the things I've always appreciated about what you do is you teach.
00:43:12.160I mean, you're a great student of history and you're a great teacher of history.
00:43:17.240And I think one of the failures that we have in the United States is a failure to teach the Constitution properly and at a proper level in our schools.
00:43:30.020You know, that's my background is in education.
00:43:34.300I taught in public schools and Christian schools, and we homeschooled our children in early elementary.
00:43:41.020And, you know, while my background was in high school math, I've got a lifetime Texas teaching certificate in secondary mathematics.
00:43:49.420But I've always appreciated, you know, the importance of teaching students as they are learning about what it means to be an American about the Constitution.
00:44:07.000Well, we haven't taught civics forever, and you're running for the Senate of Texas, and we're not covering local or state politics all that often.
00:44:16.120But I really believe in you, and I'm not going to endorse you, and I shouldn't have even said that because it's always the kiss of death for the candidate.
00:44:24.320But I've met you, and I know your husband, and we've had, you know, some long conversations, and I just think you guys are the real deal.
00:44:36.680But talking about education, I mean, you can't even teach.
00:44:41.340They're actually going in and changing again the lessons of the Alamo, and they're, quote, in Texas, the educational system is, quote, reimagining the Alamo.
00:45:37.940And then I'm going to get into a couple of others.
00:45:40.360First, this real quick, how are you possibly going to improve education?
00:45:43.780Well, I mean, I think one of the things as I've been out talking with voters and people who live in Senate District 8 in the Collin County area for the most part where I am, you know, one of the things that people talk about a lot really is bringing back a focus on history, not a revisionist version of history, but real history.
00:46:08.160And, of course, you know, that's something that belongs to our State Board of Education.
00:46:14.020But I think we have to be vigilant about the content that we're teaching our students.
00:46:20.800And then I think, you know, another piece of that is just making sure that we're properly training teachers, that we're attracting great teachers who want to make a difference in students' lives, that they want to teach the facts.
00:46:36.600They're not there to, you know, to, I guess, progress some kind of crazy agenda, that they're going to stick to the curriculum that we're asking them to teach in Texas.
00:46:50.820Where do you stand on school safety and guns in school and what are we supposed to do with this?
00:46:58.060You know, the left always makes these issues about something that they're not.
00:47:02.900But what we're looking at in this horrific, you know, recent experience in Florida with school safety is that we've got to make sure that there are people on campuses that are prepared and trained to deal with these kinds of crisis situations.
00:47:26.500I mean, you can't stop the evil from coming, but you can be prepared to intercept it and stop it when it's at your front door.
00:47:35.700So you be for arming teachers or do you want some sort of an armed system in there?
00:47:42.040And are you also for hardening of the schools themselves?
00:47:45.520Well, I think all of those are good options.
00:47:48.160Now, you know, for me personally, I'm licensed to carry as an educator.
00:47:53.720I completely support arming teachers and making sure they're properly tactically trained.
00:47:59.680I mean, this is not, this isn't, you know, licensed to carry training.
00:48:03.320This is tactical training, obviously on a voluntary basis.
00:48:07.440But, you know, whether it is the schools hiring, you know, law enforcement or hiring, you know, retired, you know, military or whatever, trained professionals, people that can be in the schools that are ready to intercept and protect the children.
00:48:29.440And until we do that, you know, unfortunately, these kinds of things are going to continue to happen.
00:48:35.660Let me just, I'm going to go down a couple of just things real quickly, and I want to stop on a couple.
00:48:39.520First, you're fighting for property tax relief, which in Texas is, I mean, we don't have an income tax, but property taxes.
00:48:46.480I have a house where everybody in the area is, you know, has an acre or two.
00:48:58.960The tax assessment came in and said, well, you could split that up and have three more houses there, and you chose not to.
00:49:08.340And so you have to pay for the property tax of not just the four acres that I have, but as if four imaginary houses existed on there.
00:49:18.720When we tried to fight it, they wouldn't even listen.
00:49:22.540We made an error in our writing of the letter, and they said, we don't trust that this is what this letter means, that you were upset about that.
00:49:50.840Well, it's definitely out of control, and it's something that we deal with here in Collin County and Senate District 8, but it's also an issue statewide, really.
00:50:03.200And the governor and the lieutenant governor have both said this is a top priority for the next session.
00:50:09.400I mean, our property taxes are growing at a rate that far outpaces people's paychecks, for one thing.
00:50:16.860But what you bring up is another piece of the puzzle, which is, you know, there's no accountability.
00:50:24.800Those that assess the values of our property, they have no accountability to the taxpayers.
00:50:31.580And there's little transparency, most places, in the rate-setting process as well.
00:50:41.700She's running for the state senate here in Texas.
00:50:43.320And I hate to give you tough questions here, because you seem nice, but I've been watching the attack ads on you, and I'm won over by one piece of criticism that seems to be in every single attack ad about you.
00:51:07.440It must be, you feel pretty good when you're running a candidate, you're running a campaign, and the worst thing that can come up with you is your smile is nice.
00:51:15.180Well, you know, it's funny, as I've been out at the polls the last couple of weeks, how many people have said, hey, I'm voting for you.
00:51:49.400I think we are on the verge of losing Texas as Texas because of the amount of people that are moving here from California and other places that don't honor any of the things that average Texans have always honored.
00:52:31.480We have to get out there and meet our new neighbors, and we have to help them understand there's a reason your company moved here.
00:52:39.080There's a reason that it's better here for your company and for your children and for your future.
00:52:44.660And we've got to get out there and do the work of, as a friend of mine says, evangelizing the Californians.
00:52:52.480But we've got to, we have the winning argument, and we've got to get out there.
00:52:58.020And instead of just letting people be co-opted by the left, we've got to get out there and do the work of making the arguments and building the relationships so that people see the connection between why their companies have moved here and the success and the prosperity that Texas is.
00:53:17.420Angela, thank you so much, and best of luck, Angela Paxton.
00:53:20.500She's running for U.S. Senate as a Republican.
00:53:24.860I know her and her husband professionally, and I am wildly impressed with both of them.
00:53:31.900Her husband is the Attorney General, and it would be great to have her in the Senate.
01:14:45.520You know, there are several things that are going on in Washington where we could really make a difference if we would just stop trying to, I don't know, go for the big win instead of looking for the things where we could unite.
01:15:12.440You know, people say, we should get money out of politics.
01:15:15.880Okay, we should get money out of politics.
01:15:33.240Let me give you this story over the weekend.
01:15:35.140Over the last several weeks, Mueller's team has been questioning George Nader.
01:15:38.800He is a Lebanese-American businessman with close ties to the UAE.
01:15:43.500Investigators are trying to determine whether the UAE tried to buy political influence during Trump's presidential campaign and administration.
01:15:51.560They're also trying to determine how George Nader has influenced White House policy.
01:15:57.000During the first few months of 2017, Nader had several meetings at the White House with Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner about American policy in the Persian Gulf.
01:16:05.020Nader is something of a Middle East mystery man.
01:16:08.560During the Clinton presidency, he was a back-channel negotiator with Syria.
01:16:12.180With Clinton's permission, he tried to secretly work out a peace deal between Syria and Israel.
01:16:18.200During the 90s, he also ran a magazine called Middle East Insight, which sometimes ran editorials by Middle Eastern leaders like President Mubarak of Egypt, Prime Minister Rabin of Israel, and Yasser Arafat.
01:16:31.480Well, this guy fell off the radar for a while.
01:16:34.320But in 2016, he somehow became an advisor to the crown prince of the UAE.
01:16:40.240After Trump's inauguration, Nader met with Elliot Broidy.
01:16:44.640He's a major Republican fundraiser who also owns a private security firm.
01:16:49.800With Nader's help, Broidy's security firm landed several hundred million dollars worth of contracts at the UAE.
01:16:56.500Last fall, Broidy had a private meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office.
01:17:00.860Afterwards, he sent a memo of the meeting to Nader at an encrypted email address.
01:17:08.520Apparently, we can decrypt this somehow or another.
01:17:12.020In the memo, Broidy said he advised the president to have a private meeting outside of the White House with UAE's crown prince.
01:17:19.180He also encouraged Trump to fire the secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, because of his support for Qatar.
01:17:26.300A copy of this meeting memo was sent to the New York Times by someone, quote, critical of the UAE's influence in Washington.
01:17:36.120A spokesperson for Elliot Broidy didn't deny the memo's contents, but said that the Qatari agents hacked Broidy's computer and stole the memo.
01:17:46.720So what does any of this have to do with the Russia investigation?
01:17:57.480This is why President Trump, like all other presidents, needed to divest himself of all of his business holdings and interests.
01:18:07.720So he we know for sure that there is no pressure point on the president.
01:18:13.560He's not trying to make deals and get special favors.
01:18:16.180It it makes us feel good when everything is transparent.
01:18:20.180We need our president to be free of all influence.
01:18:24.680So now the president, he's caused trouble on his own because he's refused to get away from his business holdings, just like President Clinton or better yet, Hillary Clinton.
01:18:37.020She brought this on herself by having her foundation.
01:18:41.340That was trouble because, wait a minute, was she involved with Russia?
01:18:45.200Was she getting special deals elsewhere?
01:19:08.620You're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
01:19:10.500So I believe that if we are going to heal as a nation, we have to have start having conversations and have conversations that make us uncomfortable.
01:19:22.040We're not learning anything if we're not uncomfortable.
01:19:27.060You know, it's nice to sit on the on the mountaintop.
01:19:29.540But on the mountaintop, no work is really done.
01:20:36.260We felt like no one was really listening or understanding each other.
01:20:39.420And as ordinary citizens, one thing we we knew we could do is is get people together, get people together over a meal, people across the political spectrum to share their stories or perspectives and really listen with the intent to learn.
01:20:54.660And we believe that ordinary citizens just like us can do the same.
01:20:59.640So you guys started this and I'm I'm pretty sure you're not of the same political bent that I am.
01:21:09.420You live in you live in San Francisco, right?
01:21:52.540Yeah, it is hard, but it's so worth it.
01:21:54.960And we also make sure we don't only have Republicans and Democrats, but also libertarians and people who have views that don't fit into any particular bucket, because there are so many different perspectives out there.
01:22:07.880And we all get better and learn more if we can hear from each other.
01:22:11.700Well, first of all, you guys had me when you mentioned dinner because I'm a big fan of it.
01:22:49.400Yeah, so one way is that we, right off the bat, in our language and our outreach to our guests, we let them know that, you know, our intention here is not to win, is not to convert or change minds.
01:23:07.560It's just simply to take a step back and get to know each other as people first.
01:23:11.880And you can't, you know, when you're sharing your stories about your life experiences, those are things that people can't really argue, right?
01:23:17.680What you've experienced, what your life has been to you and how you perceive it is your truth.
01:23:24.020And so I think that folks come and they really internalize these stories from other people.
01:23:31.400And they now have these perspectives and these stories and they leave the dinner as data points that they can reference when they're considering an issue or an idea.
01:23:39.500And that's been really valuable for them.
01:23:41.200So do you have, this is the biggest, I mean, I've been on this kick for a few years now of trying to explain how right Martin Luther King was, that it was, that it's all about reconciliation.
01:23:55.720And we lose the minute we start, we try to win and everyone is trying to win right now.
01:24:04.900How is this going for you on explaining that and getting people to participate?
01:24:13.500Yeah, well, first of all, Glenn, we love that message that you're spreading, that it's not about winning.
01:24:20.700Sometimes the word reconciliation is perhaps a little too strong for the people who want to just come eat dinner and hear some perspective.
01:24:29.080So we really, yeah, we put the emphasis on it's about listening.
01:24:33.320It's about understanding and personal growth.
01:24:35.760And you've been talking about personal responsibility and we really feel that as citizens, Justine and I felt the personal responsibility that if we were surprised by the elections result, that meant we weren't listening enough and we weren't understanding our country well enough.
01:24:51.120And we think that the people who sign up for dinners do a little bit of self-selection and that they feel that same responsibility.
01:24:57.920So it hasn't been too hard, actually, to get people in the mood to come together and hear each other out and share their perspectives as well without trying to gain points and win.
01:25:10.300When I look at your program, I'm conflicted because part of me thinks, wow, what an amazing thing to do and take this big step and try this really innovative, cool thing that can really solve a problem that America is having right now.
01:25:23.620And the other part of me says, wait a minute, this is just what we're supposed to be doing.
01:25:26.720Like, this is just a regular American thing.
01:25:30.820We were supposed to get together with people regardless of their politics and have conversations with them and get to know people.
01:25:37.280Does it feel like you're doing both of those things simultaneously?
01:25:43.580I mean, we found that, you know, right now at this time in our state, in our country, it's a very divided time, right?
01:25:51.160The amplification of that division and distrust online for media.
01:25:54.460You know, people are speaking another way and they're tired of feeling anger and misunderstood.
01:25:58.520And MADD has become this refreshing avenue for them.
01:26:01.460But the hope is that that isn't going to be the case.
01:26:05.380This actually becomes an everyday thing, right?
01:26:07.440Sitting down at dinner and talking respectfully to each other.
01:26:10.360So we really see Make America Dinner Again as a blueprint for, you know, future conversations when things aren't as heated around politics.
01:26:20.480I mean, we think there will always be some type of conflict in the world and in our country.
01:26:24.700So it's just getting people, you know, to practice active listening, to remembering what it's like to communicate with one another in a respectful way.
01:26:34.900Would you guys come and have dinner with me?
01:26:41.540Maybe you guys bring some friends from San Francisco and I can bring some friends from Texas who they usually don't meet unless it's in Austin.
01:26:54.560And we can, you know, I would love to have a conversation with you and I would love to have dinner with you.
01:27:02.940I think that we've always been a country that was e pluribus unum.
01:27:09.960We all come from different backgrounds.
01:27:11.860We all have different beliefs, but we all settled on a few, and I think they're the Bill of Rights, a few things that we all had in common that we all believed.
01:27:19.560And if we can just stop believing the worst of each other, and that's hard.
01:28:28.400And, yeah, there are a lot of ways to reach out there.
01:28:30.960You can either email us directly, download the kit, or sign up for dinner, either to host or be a guest.
01:28:37.840I've got to believe that, for instance, in my little town in Idaho, it would be really hard to find somebody who is really hardcore liberal.
01:28:46.920Uh, and, uh, I would imagine in San Francisco, it's really hard to find somebody like me.
01:28:52.960Does it, does it, does it get, I mean, it takes, depending on where you live, it takes real work, does it not?
01:29:24.220I was thinking maybe the Brooklyn barbecue controversy from Twitter over the weekend would be a good starting point.
01:29:28.640We can all join together to make fun of Brooklyn barbecue.
01:29:31.060Well, we found one of the, one of our go-tos is pizza.
01:29:36.740That's something usually people can agree on, and we do pull our guests ahead of time and get their dietary restrictions, so we consider that.
01:29:45.480What's the best thing that has come, that you guys have personally witnessed?
01:29:49.860What's the most surprising thing that you were like, wow, was that amazing?
01:29:53.120Well, there are a few, but one that stands out is we have two guests that, you know, have been to a couple of our dinners the first time they met, and the second one they actually really got to know each other.
01:30:06.740And these are two guests who seem like complete opposites in their build and their demeanor.
01:30:11.260One is a straight, middle-aged white man who is a real estate attorney and voted for Trump, and the other is a young transgender Korean adoptee who voted for Hillary.
01:30:22.100And it was pretty clear they have different politics, but when they sat down and exchanged stories, they actually found they had some things in common.
01:30:31.040They have, you know, one was from North Dakota, the other was from South Dakota, and they have a real shared love for that part of the country.
01:30:37.700They're both fathers, and they really strongly identified as being fathers.
01:30:42.500They said above anything else, that's how they identify.
01:30:46.500And they both also found they have a real love for our country, and they want the best for it.
01:30:51.520And those commonalities were enough for them to leave actually hugging each other and looking forward to the next time they'd meet.
01:30:57.540So we've seen that friendship blossom over the course of a few dinners, and it's been pretty cool.
01:31:04.520I would love to have you again, and I would love to invite you here to Texas, and let's have dinner.
01:31:07.800And if you can't make it, then I'll come to San Francisco, but let's have dinner because I think you guys are doing just a great, great service to our country.
01:32:10.760They've just released their brand-new security system, the all-new SimpliSafe, completely redesigned and rebuilt.
01:32:16.620They've added new safeguards to protect against power outages, downed Wi-Fi, cut landlines.
01:32:22.000They give you a chance to protect your family.
01:32:25.580The all-new SimpliSafe, redesigned to be practically invisible with small, powerful sensors that are so small you'll hardly notice them, but the people who are coming into your house will.
01:32:34.620And what's remarkable is they have spent all this time, and it's still the same great, honest price, 24-7 protection for only $15 a month.
01:32:45.680Smaller, faster, and stronger than anything that they've built before, and supply is limited.
01:32:51.060So whether you have a gun in your house and you're going to protect when the alarm goes off and the police, you're waiting for the police to arrive,
01:32:57.880or you just want time to lock your kids down until the police arrive, SimpliSafe serves both.
01:33:41.660I have, you know, somebody that, and I know they're not monsters, and they don't hate me and, you know, all of this stuff.
01:33:49.840And so we, you know, recognize them as people instead of this mythical, you know, oh, they're all out to, you know, get your kids or whatever it is.
01:34:03.320You know, whatever the stupid things that held us apart.
01:34:05.780Now, we are having the same problem, except it's people who, you know, believe in guns, et cetera, et cetera.
01:34:14.380I think we're seeing a little bit of movement on that in that it's the same type of thing where people, when they meet gun owners, they think in their head of these scary people who want to shoot everybody.
01:34:26.300David French was on last week and talked about a column he wrote for The Atlantic, a left-wing, largely a left-wing publication, to kind of just inform people on the left of how you'd even come into guns.
01:34:39.840Because I can tell you, as, you know, someone who grew up in Connecticut, like, it was not at all part of my life or culture.
01:34:45.000And, you know, people don't, you know, in the Northeast, they don't understand it.
01:34:48.860It's, I mean, and it's the same crazy thing, oh, all gay people are going to try to make us all gay or whatever that was.
01:34:55.420All gun owners want to just kill people and they just are bloodthirsty.
01:41:31.520ADL and the University of California at Berkeley's D-Lab have been working to develop a new approach to tackle online hate using the latest methods.
01:41:40.640The goal of the Online Hate Index is to help tech platforms better understand the growing amount of hate on social media and to use that information to address the problem.
01:41:49.700By combining artificial intelligence and machine learning with social science, the Online Hate Index will ultimately uncover and identify trends and patterns in hate speech across different platforms.
01:42:02.860We've just completed our first phase of research, and we found that the machine learning model identified hate speech accurately between 78 and 85% of the time.
01:42:12.940In the next phase of our project, we will look at specific targeted populations in a more detailed manner.
01:42:19.700We'll examine content on multiple social media sites, and we'll identify strategies to deploy the model more broadly.
01:42:27.680While there's still a long way to go with artificial intelligence and machine learning-based solutions, we believe the Online Hate Index will help tech companies better understand the extent of hateful content on their platforms by creating community-based definitions of hate speech.
01:43:10.200But I think that's a place where you allow people to upload everything, right?
01:43:15.660And when you're talking about your recommendations as a site, that is absolutely your determination of how you want to recommend the next thing.
01:43:24.060If you want to recommend only liberal videos, you can absolutely do that.
01:43:27.340I mean, there's no reason you can't do that.
01:43:30.260You know, it's another thing to say we're not going to allow people to access those videos because then you're taking a stance against...
01:46:00.940Your stolen information is out there, and it can be used in other ways, like opening up a credit card in your name or being sold on the dark web.
01:46:08.220If your information has been part of a breach, don't get too comfortable just because you filed your taxes early.
01:46:14.060There are many threats in today's connected world, and it takes one weak link for the criminals to break the chain.
01:46:20.820Good thing is, LifeLock has new identity theft protection and adds the power of Norton Security to help protect you against threats to your identity and your devices so you can find the things that you can't easily see or fix on your own.
01:46:36.260Nobody can stop all cyber threats or prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock with new Norton Security is able to uncover threats that you might miss.

01:47:21.480He said, Glenn, what color are they wearing at the Oscars to stop all the graphic violence that they put in movies and video games?
01:47:28.240I think that was covered with orange, still orange, which, by the way, if anyone can get their hands on those orange lapel pins that they had, please let me know.
01:48:01.760And those orange lapel pins were important.
01:48:05.820John wrote in and said, I always skip the Oscars.
01:48:08.000What a waste of time watching Hollywood elite pat themselves on the back for producing violent and bloody movies and then crying about guns.
01:48:13.820Because, yeah, I loved it also that they were wearing clothes that, you know, makes it very hard not to notice a woman and all of the things about being a woman and and then talking about don't make women into objects.
01:48:32.720I thought that was an interesting thing as well.
01:48:35.060Glenn, the I think we need a special counsel to investigate the need for another special counsel in light of the original special counsel.
01:48:45.540This is about the Trey Gowdy says the second special counsel is likely needed to investigate the DOJ.
01:48:51.240I don't know how many special counsels we can have investigating special counsels, but I'm kind of with you.
01:48:56.380Shane says the government should not be investigating the government.
01:48:59.660It's like letting criminals investigate the criminals.
