Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked out of a restaurant on Friday night, not because she or anybody in her party of eight were talking politics or annoying other customers, but because Sanders has a high profile job for the president that is hated by the left. These days, some hate on the left is disguised as moral conviction.
00:15:02.240There's going to be all kinds of people that piss you off.
00:15:04.580You need to grow up and you need to maybe have a little thicker skin.
00:15:14.780And the second thing, the second thing you need to know is, um, we shouldn't be compelled to use our talent to make food or to decorate cakes or anything else.
00:15:27.660If it violates our conscience, if that's your moral stance, God bless you.
00:15:35.060I'll just remember not to go there to get a cake or I'll not go there to eat a meal.
00:16:07.980It has really been great for me to see what people on the left and what people on the right, who they really are, what they really actually believe.
00:16:19.540I think it's been great because I know who to avoid.
00:20:19.980And you never get any arguments with them because you always share the exact same values.
00:20:25.540Maybe I'm living in a dream world here.
00:20:27.200A lot of people, they'll go down this dream world when they pick some random relative with a little bit of real estate experience to be the real estate agent.
00:20:34.760And because they, well, at least I know them.
00:22:28.060But the God I worship and I serve has also given man a noble spirit with an unquenchable desire to be better, to transcend, to grow, to reach beyond the muck.
00:22:43.780Look, no such spirit among those who worship politics or politicians, not that I have seen anyway.
00:25:26.680Each of us are telling us what to think, what to say, and what to believe.
00:25:30.520They each want to tell us what is right and what is wrong, what is acceptable and unacceptable.
00:25:37.120And they're doing it in a fashion to where you can't even question it, even if it makes no sense at all.
00:25:44.980Well, it's just you're too stupid to understand.
00:25:47.280And they are being taught by the high priest, the robe clerics of our generation and of our time, the robed clerics of higher education, their jobs made safe by tenure, paid for by the money taken from the peasants, either through new government studies that are designed really just to prove that the earth is at the center of the universe or whatever it is.
00:26:14.300As those in power want to prove, the government also makes it easy for those same peasants to be chained and beholden to the debt incurred to be taught what to think, how to behave and how to be the model serf and slave.
00:26:38.720Why is it we continue to see that at the highest scientific and technological advancement in all human history, when science is at its apex, American students leave our high schools and universities with a scientific illiteracy of 95 percent.
00:27:03.740That is higher than the illiteracy among blacks at the time of slavery.
00:27:09.820Well, I know why people didn't want to teach a black man to read back then.
00:27:15.800Why are universities doing such a horrendous job of teaching us basics like history, math, science, reading?
00:27:26.800You see, we believe that the politician and the media are enemies, but they're not.
00:31:28.520That ad was brilliant and it was mocked.
00:31:32.400Now, maybe not in your cocktail circles there, but everywhere else in the country it was.
00:31:37.600But unless we plant our flag in reason and decency and self-reflection, self-awareness, thicker skin,
00:31:51.800until we develop thicker skin and work on being more kind, we're going to lose our freedom, all of us.
00:32:03.020And I know that's not hyperbole because yesterday I saw CNN spend quite a bit of time with George Takai talking about American internment camps once used for Americans of Japanese descent and how it's happening on the border right now.
00:32:30.300But what is the difference between what Alex Jones said was happening with the secret camps where Americans were being held in cages and what George Takai and CNN and the press is saying happening right now on the border?
00:32:43.860How can my saying years ago, we are close to losing our right to live, work, to speak, to be around people with different opinions, to make your own choice, to be around people with different backgrounds and that maybe not this president or the next president, but we are headed towards real trouble.
00:33:10.680The same seeds are being planted that were planted in the 1930s.
00:33:15.300How can that be crazy if now the media is declaring that Trump is a Nazi and these are concentration camps?
00:34:10.680In all the right places, with all the right principles and faith and common decency and tolerance, real tolerance for one another's different opinion.
00:34:22.620Every poll shows that we are united by simple American ideals, even on the border.
00:34:28.420We all know that what's happening on the border is wrong.
00:37:01.220You mean an elected official telling people to go out and harass others in public?
00:37:05.660Yeah, well, especially in the same week where, you know, two elected officials had their children threatened with rape, kidnapping, and murder.
00:37:14.600It was at the same week where the Department of Homeland Security was kicked out of the, or thrown out of the Mr. Rogers documentary.
00:37:55.140Let's make sure we show up wherever we have to show up.
00:37:59.220And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd.
00:38:57.400Now, here's my question for the media.
00:39:01.740Can you honestly say that if someone from the Tea Party or anyone in Congress that was GOP would have said the same thing during the Obama administration, that you would have been cool?
00:39:17.440That you would treat this story exactly the same?
00:39:59.780The cries for rage heard this weekend.
00:40:07.380Protests against ICE sprung up all over the country.
00:40:10.880An ICE facility in New York was forced to shut down after being laid siege upon by a group called Metropolitan Anarchist Coordinating Council.
00:40:59.720They're using the immigration debate to kickstart the Occupy movement again.
00:41:04.400Occupy ICE is the latest version of the renewed season of rage.
00:41:09.400Is it possible that this is the summer of 1968?
00:41:15.060On Saturday, a Texas Border Patrol agent suffered a broken ankle after defending a woman during one of those assaults on immigration facilities.
00:41:25.020200 protesters from the League of United Latin American Citizens were bussed in.
00:41:35.160They were bussed into McAllen from all over Texas.
00:41:37.980The League is an open borders, free college, pro-single-payer health care advocacy group that gets their funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute.
00:41:51.000Did we really need to know who bussed them in?
00:44:32.620I agree with you completely, and it's not a good thing.
00:44:38.900The more politicized every aspect of our lives gets, the tougher it is to just go out to the corner and pick up your newspaper and come back home.
00:44:47.940And I will rush to hopefully complicate and possibly enrage you a little bit, too, of that this is not all simply coming from the left or from liberals.
00:44:59.400Yeah, I mean, to be honest, stuff like, you know, whether you kneel or stand or, you know, tap dance during the national anthem at a football game.
00:45:10.820It's one thing, the way that people wear different insignias on their coats to signify this or that, you know, who gets to decide what cause, you know, what cause or what belief in a person means that you want to do business with them in a business that is technically open to all comers.
00:45:29.860It's a real problem, and, you know, the starting point of my piece and why it says eat more crow was that one of the founders of Twitter, who also has another company that does kind of cash bonus thing, Jack Dorsey, he made the mistake of, you know, and, of course, because he's selling his company all the time, his wallet was linked to his Twitter feed.
00:45:53.660And it turned out a couple of weeks ago, just as Gay Pride Month was starting, he went and had some Chick-fil-A, and that showed up in his feed.
00:46:01.540And then he got attacked for eating an anti-gay chicken sandwich, which he immediately, you know, he immediately apologized for.
00:46:10.040You know, I like the idea, you know, I'm a small-l libertarian.
00:46:15.960I like to be the person that I think, you know, I want to try and incarnate the world that I see,
00:46:21.900the values of tolerance and pluralism and the voluntary exchange and all that.
00:46:26.900But there is a time where it's just like, geez, you know, if you're politics all the time, that's why it's so horrible living in America in the 21st century.
00:47:20.280And that that's actually, you know, it's that cynicism that I think is what is really driving people nuts, because it would be bad.
00:47:28.960And we know this, because this is what, you know, the countries like the Soviet Union or East Germany used to do, where, you know, the worst art that you could produce in East Germany or the Soviet Union was not political, like a political pop song that criticized Gorbachev.
00:47:43.960It was songs that were simply about, you know, like teenage love that had no politics in them.
00:47:50.640And in America today, it's, you know, where we are is everything is political and everybody knows that it's just situational and that, you know, if it's Obama doing one thing, then one side will say, oh, that was great.
00:48:04.580And then it becomes Trump and everybody says this is pure evil.
00:48:09.580And it's one of the reasons why polls continue to show, and they've been showing this forever for good reason, fewer and fewer of us want to identify as a Republican or as a Democrat, as a liberal or a conservative,
00:48:20.280because we know everybody around us is just full of BS.
00:48:24.640And they're just looking for the next cheap win in some kind of never ending battle of, you know, I know you are, but what, you know, I know I am, but what are you?
00:49:24.260And as we started looking at the literal, you know, the actual mechanics of voting, and I think we'll remember, maybe not everybody, those, you know, those hanging chads, those paper ballots that were being looked at as if they were, you know, I mean, you know, it was like outer space, something like that.
00:49:41.880You know, the DNA code of the entire universe.
00:49:58.080Like when you really get down to rock bottom and, you know, you get into the secret hangar where the alien autopsies are, you look at there's something on the table, but you're not sure what the hell it is.
00:50:07.800Like maybe it's not real at all, but then on top of that, the stakes, we were constantly being told that the stakes were so high because Bush and Gore were radically different people and one meant life for the country and the other meant death or something.
00:50:21.100So you simultaneously had a breakdown of basic reality and a real heightening of the perceived stakes of things.
00:50:28.340And I think that, you know, and then, you know, the growth of social media and the growth of, you know, harder and harder politics because precisely because the parties no longer control themselves very well.
00:50:42.680And the coalitions that they were developed to build or to represent were mostly done in the 70s and 80s.
00:50:48.960And they don't really, the groups that they represent don't really exist anymore.
00:50:53.380So you have people battling for stuff that represents fewer and few people who they say they're representing.
00:51:00.660Yeah, and I guess it was interesting reading your piece in that it brought me back to another time because, as you point out, the conversation before the 2000 election was not we're too politically divided and everyone's turning politics into everything.
00:51:15.640People were worried that people were not engaged with politics at all and no one was showing up to vote and too apathetic.
00:51:21.840Yeah, the vanishing voter, you know, the AWOL electorate it was called and whatnot.
00:51:27.180And, of course, you know, there was anger and ire.
00:51:29.220I mean, any of us who remember the 90s know, you know, there were moments where, oh, Jerry Falwell introduced a series of documentaries, you know, listing all of Bill Clinton's murders and things like that.
00:51:39.960You know, there was like some pretty crazy stuff going on at very high levels.
00:51:43.880But, yeah, it was, you know, one of the problems that a lot of people were worried about was that nobody was engaged in politics.
00:51:53.760The voter turnout for the 2000 election, you know, which we knew was going to be close, which everybody was saying this is, you know, for the 21st century, like we're either going in this direction or that direction.
00:52:02.860Most important election in your lifetime, et cetera, et cetera, it had mediocre turnout.
00:52:08.000And, by the way, it's also fascinating if you go back and look at that, Gore and Bush split so many parts of the demographic of voters, you wouldn't have felt like they were basically even on women.
00:52:21.360The Democrats did much better with blacks and Latinos, but Bush did very well with Latinos.
00:52:27.820When you look at the way in which Republican presidential and Democratic presidential candidates score, you know, and we've seen, you know, one wins one year, the other side wins the other.
00:52:37.900But they have a much more fractured set of people voting for that.
00:52:45.160Nick Gillespie, editor of large Reason Magazine.
00:52:48.360You need to read this particular article.
00:53:00.320We'll talk about that coming up in just a second.
00:53:02.600Wishing somebody a happy birthday on social media may seem innocent enough, but believe it or not, if you are nefarious, you can piece together information from various places to hack accounts.
00:53:16.520And once they do that, they can snatch a sensitive data like payment information.
00:53:21.540Social media, great way to connect to people.
00:53:24.780But it's important to think about what somebody with malicious intentions can do with the information that you're sharing.
00:53:37.400It's just I think really social media and the media in general is making us feel this way.
00:53:41.200There are so many threats in today's connected world.
00:53:44.320It takes one weak link and criminals are in.
00:53:48.180That's why the new LifeLock Identity Theft Protection adds the power of Norton Security to help protect you against the threats of your identity and your devices that you can't easily see or fix on your own.
00:53:58.380And if you have a problem, their agents are going to work to fix it.
00:54:01.320Now, nobody can stop all cyber threats, prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses.
00:54:05.920But the new LifeLock with Norton Security is able to uncover the threats that you might otherwise miss.
00:54:12.300So go to LifeLock.com or call 1-800-LIFELOCK and use the promo code BECK.
00:54:27.860So, you know, when you listen or you read Nick's article on reason, you see this is not reasonable what's happening, even with Maxine Waters.
00:55:50.480And it's amazing, too, looking back at the history of it in that there were still crazy political attacks by both sides at the highest levels of these parties and advocacy organizations.
00:56:01.760And, you know, people were still trashing each other.
00:56:15.260I mean, at the end of Jonah Goldberg's book has a great segment about how maybe not everybody, we should be encouraging everyone to go out and vote.
00:59:04.320I don't know if the left knows this, but you should not be talking about people who violate, you know, ethics and and rules and regulations about what they do with their personal phones,
00:59:23.600I'm just saying that maybe you're not exactly the ones to bring that up.
00:59:31.040It's just an it is an amazing world, though, where, you know, you have an elected official, Maxine Waters, advocating for the harassment of women as they go out in their daily lives.
00:59:42.460Think about think about this for a moment.
00:59:45.940You know, we hear all the time of the pressure of a superior at work hinting something, giving an insinuation that maybe a person should do X, Y or Z to advance their career and how serious that is.
01:00:00.820You shouldn't that should never happen.
01:00:02.020What Maxine Waters advocated for this weekend was to surround and surround, create a crowd, push back to any person from the administration and obviously female being the most recent example is examples in with the DHS secretary and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
01:00:23.280Strange how many women in power for this person who hates women so much.
01:00:26.240But the idea that surrounding them, pushing back when they're out at a dinner and a movie at a gas station.
01:00:34.980Remember, think of think of a woman alone pumping gas.
01:00:37.940She's advocating that she should be surrounded and harassed.
01:00:41.260And that's completely OK from an elected official.
01:00:44.740I mean, there have been, I will say, some on the left that have said things about this and pushed back on it.
01:00:52.880Oh, I'm sure there will be those that will say they'll publish one story and say, oh, my God, we spoke out about this.
01:14:34.920So yesterday, I was foolish enough to agree to go on CNN and Brian Stelter's reliable sources.
01:14:46.660I read his, you know, newsletter, usually before I go to bed, and I have seen the increasing, I think, Trump derangement syndrome in that newsletter.
01:15:05.380And I say this as a guy who actually, it's fading, respects Brian Stelter.
01:15:15.040And I know he has just taken this as a badge of honor and glory, that I would say it this way.
01:15:23.660But I really thought Brian might be a guy that would actually be interested in what is going on.
01:15:31.260And what I was asked to do was to speak about the border of 2014 and also why the press cannot reach the Donald Trump voter.
01:15:41.500And I was foolish enough to think that they actually wanted a reason.
01:15:46.360And they wanted a logical explanation and to help them understand.
01:16:10.280It is it's a life that is not going to end well, just not going to end well for you.
01:16:15.680They live in this bubble where they don't have to take time to consider other people's point of view, because, you know, in the hallways I've worked at CNN in the hallways, everybody thinks alike.
01:16:32.860I mean, there might be some subtle differences, but pretty much everybody is on the same page.
01:16:37.720They are right in this particular case and Trump or the Trump voter is wrong and all they want to do is prove that they are virtuous and they are right.
01:16:50.180So they're not going to they're not going to change their ways and we should stop looking for it.
01:16:58.000I am going to stop engaging with them on this because there's no interest.
01:17:03.040If if there if there were if there were interest, I would suggest that maybe they reach out and have a honest conversation.
01:17:16.800The average person says about Donald Trump, the average person.
01:17:24.180I don't necessarily like everything that he is doing.
01:17:27.180I don't like necessarily his personal behavior.
01:17:45.880For the first time, somebody is actually is somebody is paying attention to what I am afraid of.
01:17:52.400And what I am afraid of is this economy is going to collapse because we are moving in a direction that makes absolutely no sense where everything is being ruled from government.
01:20:36.360Well, have you stopped and said, is any of the stuff that they say about you, is that true?
01:20:41.100Well, let me give you a couple of examples.
01:20:44.320Do you think that if somebody would have come out on the Republican side and said the things that Maxine Waters said, you would be treating it the same way that you're treating it today?
01:21:30.460You can't just say, well, Glenn Beck is a conspiracy theorist for for debunking the FEMA camps, by the way, for for even talking about FEMA camps.
01:23:47.040What I was seeing was this post-modernist bullcrap that is now being shoved down everybody's throat in universities where they're saying that it is the evil white Western culture that is the cause of all problems.
01:24:02.600You could call it racist or you could just call it post-modernist bullcrap.
01:25:09.520So can half of America because we saw you do it.
01:25:12.880But when we didn't do those things, when you when when Nancy Pelosi locked arms and intentionally tried to antagonize and provoke a crowd that was against universal health care,
01:25:28.140when she locked arms and intentionally went into that crowd hoping for something to happen and it didn't, you treated it like it did.
01:26:34.620OK, well, let me just give you, Brian, the Newsweek headline.
01:26:40.720Obama held more than double the number of children than the Trump White House.
01:26:47.260So you should care twice as much in your time machine.
01:26:52.220Twice as many kids are in jail under Obama.
01:26:59.280Now, if you can't get that fact right, how is anyone else supposed to have that fact right?
01:27:05.620If the press itself and the journalist that is trying to hold people's feet to the fire, if you can't get it right.
01:27:12.800How's the average American supposed to?
01:27:19.000And whatever happened to the idea, if it just saves one child's life, because that's the thing we always get, you know, especially with guns, if it just saves one child.
01:27:27.900And by the way, speaking of guns, you know, since 2012, 2013, since then, there's been the average of 6.8 people killed in school shootings.
01:28:38.560Hey, Brian, why don't you come on down here, work here?
01:28:42.380Why don't you get CNN to start moving out in the rest of the country and see how they push you back?
01:28:48.860They'll do it kindly, not the way, well, the way that Maxine Waters is suggesting or the way my family was treated when we lived in New York.
01:28:57.08048% of the American people believe that these kids should be released with their family back to their homeland.
01:29:56.520We're arguing for the same reasons you don't want to have a private conversation.
01:30:01.840When I've suggested to not only you, but almost every member of the press, you really want to understand, please don't make the same mistakes I made.
01:30:39.600You actually have to be interested in seeking knowledge.
01:30:42.100And by the way, I guess the only thing left that you and the Washington Post, strangely exposing you as somebody was waiting, just lying in wait with your, what did they call it?
01:31:19.540But I do want to address quickly why I just thought that it was ridiculous to ask me a question that was only written by one person who has claimed my company has been dying for about four years now.
01:31:34.960When, let me just give you the headlines, CNN laid off 50 people in February.
01:31:39.000Then the next one, also 50 people in 2016.
01:32:52.840Blockchain technology is a very big part of cryptocurrency.
01:32:56.060And it is really, really important that you understand that because block currency is going to be a part of our everyday life beyond currency.
01:33:03.740I believe it's going to be the way we communicate with each other and keep our conversations safe from from hackers.
01:33:10.820If you are looking for information, if you're looking to learn and expand your mind on what the future looks like, take the smart crypto course at smart crypto course dot com.
01:33:22.880That's smart crypto course dot com or call 877 PBL back.
01:33:27.580That's 877 PBL back or smart crypto course dot com.
01:33:33.740So I want to talk a little bit about what we should be talking about.
01:33:41.720What we should be talking about is a we agree.
01:35:40.680Fifteen-year-olds were being held because they were actually trafficking kids because they knew if they brought them across the border,
01:35:48.440the drug cartels knew that they would be released and they would arrive at their destination ready to be at the, you know, a willing slave,
01:35:59.200either at the sex shops or the egg farms, believe it or not.
01:38:13.160It drives me nuts that there is no personal responsibility on the part of the people bringing their kids here when they know this is a distinct possibility.
01:38:24.800This is going to happen to you, that you could be separated from your children.
01:38:28.380Is there no responsibility on the part of the parents?
