The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ 10⧸22⧸26

00:00:00.000 Hey, we started with a warning today on Black October and digital DEFCON because something

00:00:10.440 else is happening called Black October that nobody's talking about.

00:00:13.480 And your data has most likely been breached at some point here in the last 10 days.

00:00:18.760 More hacking has gone on from AI agents than ever before in like a year's worth has happened

00:00:24.960 in 10 days.

00:00:26.520 Also, the Washington Redskins, you know, they took that name away.

00:00:31.280 And I don't know if you know the full story of this, because now the family of the guy who was on the helmet, they're really upset and they're finally being heard.

00:00:39.400 And who are all these Marxists?

00:00:42.540 I'll tell you who they are.

00:00:43.600 They're all theater kids.

00:00:44.880 And I'll explain what that means on today's podcast.

00:00:56.060 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:04.880 Okay, there is a new term the tech world has just come out with.

00:01:09.980 This is a breaking story, and the new term is Black October.

00:01:16.560 Black October is what they're using now to describe the last 10 days.

00:01:20.820 In a normal year, you will get one or two computer security disasters big enough for the evening news.

00:01:28.600 This week, they have arrived almost by the hour.

00:01:33.420 One watchdog on X counted 27 in the last 10 days.

00:01:39.080 Some online say the swarm of rogue AI agents is behind all of it.

00:01:45.020 The evidence does not show that, at least at my understanding, at my level, yet.

00:01:50.820 most websites are run on a software called php roughly seven out of ten okay think of php as

00:02:00.820 plumbing behind the walls you never see it it's you know in every house in every neighborhood

00:02:06.480 well this week we just learned that plumbing that plumbing php had a hidden back door

00:02:13.340 and strangers could walk in and run that house without a key.

00:02:19.240 The news leaked before the fix and burglars came.

00:02:25.280 Cloudflare watched break-in attempts go from thousands to millions in hours.

00:02:34.060 The NSA said, patch now or shut everything down.

00:02:38.500 Some governments actually shut down.

00:02:41.320 i'm just hearing about this you probably are too now who found the flaw ai good news

00:02:52.040 except ai is also the bad guy bad guys have the same tools okay you don't run a web server

00:03:01.740 but your doctor's office does so does your kid's school so does your church until the plumbing is

00:03:09.540 fixed, a stranger can walk out with your name, address, and all of your records. Reuters reported

00:03:15.480 that one hacker who turned AI agents loose on more than 1,200 websites has broken into more

00:03:24.720 than a hundred of them, including John Deere. The cost, the researcher estimates, is about $50 a

00:03:32.900 break-in. Now, here's why this is a problem. Burglars used to need a crew, a van, months of

00:03:40.580 casing the neighborhood. Now, for 50 bucks, he can rent a robot that will jiggle every doorknob

00:03:47.820 on the block while he's asleep. CrowdStrike found four more groups doing the same exact thing.

00:03:57.460 one hit at least 15 health organizations and their trick was telling the ai that they've been hired

00:04:05.120 to test security so the burglar tells the locksmith it's my house i locked myself out

00:04:11.160 and the locksmith opens the door now it isn't on all screens in france hackers forced the

00:04:18.760 refrigerators in about 700 supermarkets to defrost the food went into a dumpster a california

00:04:25.640 education contractor lost personal information on millions of students and this is where the

00:04:31.060 danger to for most most of us lives today phone numbers shopping histories you know uh it'll make

00:04:38.740 a scammer go hey this is your pharmacy and there's a problem with your order and then you click on

00:04:44.500 that. The question is, is it a swarm? Researchers did find one fleet of AI agents on Chinese cloud

00:04:57.000 grabbing leaked keys, but they didn't find any sign yet that the AI agents are coordinating

00:05:04.800 more than a thousand robot vacuums in a very big house, just bumping into doors until something

00:05:11.260 opens. That's what it looks like so far. Plenty of old-fashioned carelessness as well. One company

00:05:17.720 that got hit left its master passwords in plain text. It's like leaving your, you know, key under

00:05:24.820 the doormat. What's changed now is the price. When a burglary costs about $50, no one is too small to

00:05:34.580 rob so here's what i have put together so we can chart these things uh i've put a digit defcon

00:05:44.880 chart down you know how we go to defcon one and that means the planes are in the air and we're

00:05:50.260 about to drop bombs okay so i've made it the same defcon system defcon one is the worst but let me

00:05:58.940 show you where we are defcon 10 digit defcon 10 is just its background no he's nothing to worry

00:06:05.540 about uh eight and nine is there's one company or two companies that are breached not a problem

00:06:12.360 number seven is there's a new threat there's no damage yet but there's a new threat warning

00:06:19.500 six is widespread exposure your data has likely been stolen or is likely going to be stolen

00:06:27.460 defcon 5 active waves hitting every server that's bad that's why i was saying is this a swarm or

00:06:36.200 not defcon 4 stores banks hospitals are now offline in some places three power water phones

00:06:47.140 will be down regionally for days defcon 2 national banking or grid integrity in doubt and defcon 1 is

00:06:55.980 unplug. System cannot be trusted for anything. Don't get into your self-driving car. Don't do

00:07:02.760 anything. That's DEFCON 1. So, you know, hugging face was DEFCON 7. Warning, new threat, no damage.

00:07:12.560 It was just, we're seeing them start to organize. New threat. This Black October is a DEFCON 6.

00:07:19.680 widespread exposure your data has been or will likely be stolen that's not good

00:07:28.340 we're at the very beginning of this and we're at defcon 6

00:07:32.240 so want to let you know it's called black october you can look it up uh for yourself

00:07:39.180 jason any questions is that am i explaining this well enough we didn't even get a chance to talk

00:07:45.420 about this this story is just breaking now it does i was interested when you said uh hugging

00:07:50.440 face is defcon 7 and at first i was going to say no i think it's defcon 1 but i get what you're

00:07:55.500 saying because it's a it's a warning of what could be a reality coming soon because the details of

00:08:01.580 that i never really went through them until i saw a documentary on it a couple of days ago

00:08:05.440 oh my gosh if that is the warning uh yeah i so so i say it's defcon 7 because there's no there

00:08:15.040 was no damage done it was just oh dear god look what it can do capability yeah yeah the capability

00:08:21.920 is there so if it was actually doing things that were hacking into water systems stores banks or

00:08:28.600 anything else hugging face could go defcon one in a minute in a minute but there was no evidence of

00:08:35.300 that it was just oh dear look what this can do look what it's doing but so far it is only broken

00:08:43.680 in to be able to find answers to something it was looking for would you agree with it now

00:08:50.320 yes and it actually makes me even more worried some of these not only of what the capability

00:08:57.800 is but also what these corporations and ai developers because what they're going to want

00:09:04.500 going forward to continue doing this work we already talked about bailouts and you know and

00:09:08.920 giving them some kind of you know partnership with the government which is horrifying so horrifying

00:09:13.760 But I think that they're both trying to do that.

00:09:17.700 Now, Glenn, I also think that they are legitimately scared to death.

00:09:22.700 I think they are.

00:09:23.520 I think it's both.

00:09:24.500 I think it's absolutely both.

00:09:26.240 They know they're playing with fire.

00:09:28.460 Here's why this one is higher on the scale.

00:09:31.740 First of all, it has broken in and is stealing data.

00:09:35.580 So it's higher because of that widespread exposure.

00:09:38.340 Your data has likely been stolen or will be stolen.

00:09:40.840 Black October, the reason why it's scary,

00:09:43.300 is it's $50 per break-in.

00:09:47.960 You can get somebody, I mean, think of the money,

00:09:50.460 just think of the money that is flowing around in the NGO world

00:09:59.020 that wants to change the world.

00:10:01.460 Think about what's flowing into the Marxist and the DSA and Antifa

00:10:06.660 and all of the things that are trying to destroy the Western world.

00:10:12.320 At $50 a break-in, you can afford to have a swarm just go out and just cause chaos nonstop.

00:10:22.920 That's what's scary about these agents is now it is so cheap to be able to just knock on doors.

00:10:30.040 Just knock on doors.

00:10:30.800 See who's home.

00:10:31.680 Jiggle the doorknob.

00:10:33.220 See if you can get in.

00:10:34.680 You start doing that and you're looking for power.

00:10:37.440 You're looking for light.

00:10:38.580 You're looking for water.

00:10:40.400 You're looking for banking.

00:10:42.320 You're going to find it.

00:10:43.840 You're going to find it, and it's cheap.

00:10:46.880 This is why I have said, and I'm starting to get people to agree with me on this, you know, in the tech world, which is really weird.

00:10:57.020 There's nobody agreed with me.

00:10:58.400 I used to say this is worse than nuclear weapons.

00:11:04.860 No, nuclear weapons can vapor.

00:11:06.880 Uh-huh, yeah, I know.

00:11:08.240 You know why this is worse?

00:11:09.460 I can't build a nuclear weapon.

00:11:12.320 I have to go to Doc Brown.

00:11:15.100 I'm sure in 2027 that plutonium is on every street corner at every drugstore.

00:11:23.500 No, it's not. It's not.

00:11:26.420 I had to go steal it from Libyan terrorists. 1.00

00:11:32.560 This is cheap. 1.00

00:11:35.320 Anyone can do this.

00:11:37.180 So if you're sitting in an anonymous group and you want to take down Western society, you can do it.

00:11:45.500 That's why this is so incredibly dangerous.

00:11:48.320 And I have to tell you, we have to have this.

00:11:51.120 Ricky, let's see if we can get this DigiDevCon printed.

00:11:55.540 Let's put it up on our website so we can chart all of these things.

00:11:59.000 When there is a problem and we hear about another swarm, we hear about another AI thing, let's keep charts of what's going on and let's make sure we're using this system because I'm telling you, this thing could accelerate so fast.

00:12:14.660 I'm telling you, I, gosh, I don't want to go here.

00:12:24.620 2027 could be very bad.

00:12:27.020 2027 could be a very very bad year um it could we could have lots and lots of trouble in 2027

00:12:37.760 um

00:12:39.180 i'm gonna leave it at that for today let's move on um okay now let me just let me just uh go into

00:12:52.280 to Zelensky and Putin and Trump and what's really happening.

00:12:57.900 And why is everybody freaking out?

00:13:00.840 Why is everybody freaking out?

00:13:02.380 We're talking to Russia.

00:13:03.960 Oh, my gosh. 1.00

00:13:05.840 Isn't that what we should be doing?

00:13:08.700 We're trying to stop a war.

00:13:10.440 Shouldn't we be talking to everybody?

00:13:13.140 And look what's happening.

00:13:15.140 Iran has come to the table this week, and they've said,

00:13:17.500 okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, we'd like to talk.

00:13:20.240 We'd like to talk.

00:13:20.840 And Trump's like, meh, I don't think so.

00:13:22.860 You know why they're doing that?

00:13:24.000 Because it's working. 0.67

00:13:26.260 Russia, come to the table this week.

00:13:28.120 We'd like to talk.

00:13:28.920 You know who else came to the table this week?

00:13:30.740 Zelensky. 1.00

00:13:31.340 Oh, my gosh, Donald Trump is a monster. 1.00

00:13:34.060 Yeah. 1.00

00:13:35.560 Looks like we're moving towards peace.

00:13:37.380 Now, whether we get there or not is a different story.

00:13:39.540 But I want to talk about that and so much more.

00:15:06.600 all right i don't know if i don't know if you've seen the news uh about the redskins

00:15:19.520 the commanders hi we're the commanders i command you to watch our football team

00:15:24.740 shut up commanders oh they will always be and always should be the washington redskins

00:15:32.960 But I want to give you an update on this. 0.97

00:15:36.560 The family of a Blackfeet chief is asking for his face back.

00:15:44.940 His name was John Two Guns Whitecalf.

00:15:49.920 For 50 years, he was the face on the side of every Washington Redskins helmet.

00:15:56.060 Okay. And then in 2020, we got to get that face on the helmet. It's so horrible of us white people

00:16:06.080 to do this. It's so horrible. Shut up. Okay. So now his descendants have hired a lawyer and 0.99

00:16:20.720 they're going public they want the name back they want the logo back they want the stadium named

00:16:26.560 after their grandfather and they're asking for a meeting with Donald Trump and believe me he will

00:16:31.140 take that meeting okay so the guy who leads the estate Kenneth Conway put it this way they have

00:16:38.840 tried to erase us now listen to this they tried to erase us like we didn't exist anymore another

00:16:48.200 descendant said and this i think is one of the most damning things uh of of all nobody ever asked

00:16:56.600 the family wait nobody asked the family what do you mean nobody asked the family

00:17:02.300 you know most people don't even know who that man on the helmet was

00:17:08.380 most americans saw him every sunday half a century never knew he was a real guy he was born in 1872

00:17:17.760 wait till you hear this story man this is gonna oh you do gooding liberal backstabbing american

00:17:27.080 hating oh spineless weasels so the guy's born in 1872 on blackfeet land in montana

00:17:39.220 now his world is ending at that time buffalo were disappearing they weren't disappearing white men

00:17:46.900 were killing the buffalo okay the reservation was shrinking and he spent his life doing the

00:17:53.200 hardest thing a leader could do in a world like that he went to washington and spoke for his

00:17:58.080 people he then stood at the gates of the glacier national park and greeted the tourists coming in

00:18:04.560 on trains so he so so he wanted people to know in americans to know there were black feet still

00:18:12.140 still there he claimed this and did this until the day he died and he claimed that his face was

00:18:21.420 one of the faces on the buffalo nickel historians disagree i disagree it was it was iron tail that

00:18:28.260 was on the front but he didn't care he wanted his people's face on the things americans carried

00:18:33.500 in his pocket because it was important that they weren't erased so he dies in 1934 37 years later

00:18:42.120 later, another Blackfeet man, a tribal leader named Walter Blackie Wetzel. Blackie? Why were

00:18:49.700 they calling him Blackie? Not anything to do with that, you racists. I don't mean you. I mean the 0.92

00:18:57.500 liberal racists. Anyway, he had led the National Congress of American Indians, and he went to the

00:19:06.440 Redskins with an idea. He said, you're going to carry our name, carry a real face, not the

00:19:12.100 cartoon, the actual chief. And so he brought them the face of two guns, white calf, and the team

00:19:18.400 put it on their helmet in 1972. And that logo was not taken from the Blackfeet. It was given

00:19:24.360 by the Blackfeet. So when the pressure campaign heated up, Wetzel's own son said, I'm proud of it. 1.00

00:19:32.060 In 2016, the Washington Post, not exactly a team booster, pulled 504 Native Americans in every 1.00

00:19:41.380 state. Nine in ten said it didn't offend them. Same result as a national poll found 12 years

00:19:49.120 earlier. The people being defended had been asked twice, and they gave the same answer

00:19:57.180 two times, but it didn't matter. It doesn't matter. We're white people. We know. They don't

00:20:03.240 even know they're being mocked. They don't even know they're being damaged. We've got to wipe

00:20:08.620 them out again because that's exactly what happened summer 2020 countries on fire sponsors

00:20:15.320 and investors moved why because we told them we're gonna boycott your product if you just

00:20:21.160 if you don't stand against the Washington Redskins because we know better than the Redskins we know

00:20:27.080 better than the Blackfeet we're white we know we're superior and within a few weeks the name

00:20:34.980 and the face, gone. Replaced with something so incredibly insipid. They just literally called

00:20:43.560 the team the Washington football team for two years. And then the commanders, a name nobody

00:20:48.860 asked for, honoring nobody. I don't even know what it means. But I know we've been here before.

00:20:57.620 i mean exactly the same there's it's in 1879 there's this army officer his name is richard

00:21:05.380 pratt and he opens a school in an old army barracks in carlisle pennsylvania and he's not

00:21:12.320 a villain villain in his own eyes in his own time he's a reformer he's enlightened he's a friend of

00:21:20.240 the indian he's gonna save them okay that's the way he's in his own head and in his own time

00:21:27.000 that's exactly who these weasels are now this guy okay he has a plan they're savages

00:21:36.680 i've got to go in and take their children far from home i've got to cut their hair i got to 0.97

00:21:42.480 take their names and give them new ones i got to punish them for speaking their own language 0.97

00:21:47.020 he says in a speech in 18 let me look this up it was 1872 1892 kill the indian in him 0.80

00:21:58.220 and save the man that's his quote okay now he means this as compassion

00:22:03.400 the children at carlisle here's here's there's fascinating fact children at carlisle the ones

00:22:12.380 he's cutting their hair, trying to kill the Indian and save the man, they decide they're

00:22:16.960 going to have a football team. And they become one of the greatest teams in America. A little

00:22:21.680 Indian school beat Harvard, beat Army. One of the men who played and coached there, a

00:22:30.180 man who called himself Lone Star Dietz, said he was Sue, became the head coach of a new

00:22:36.720 team in Boston in 1933. 1933 is the year that Boston team took the name the Redskins. So the

00:22:47.660 name came out of a school built to erase the Native American. And what came out of the school 0.75

00:22:56.140 was not erasure, it was pride. The kids, they tried to strip of everything, took to the football team

00:23:04.180 and beat the sons of the men who ran the damn country. 0.99

00:23:09.140 Pratt cut their hair for their own good. 1.00

00:23:11.960 And in 2020, the people with the same kind of crappy-ass education 0.97

00:23:17.480 cuts the chief off of their helmet for his own good. 0.98

00:23:24.160 Different century, same certainty, same exact progressives.

00:23:30.980 Because they know better.

00:23:32.340 They know better than the people themselves.

00:23:37.620 We know better.

00:23:39.480 We know what they should be proud of, what they should be allowed to be proud of.

00:23:44.760 It's absolutely unbelievable.

00:23:48.080 Unfricking believable.

00:23:51.960 Now, I ought to tell you, if they had asked the family and asked all the people, is this really offensive?

00:23:59.320 I wouldn't have been happy, but I would have been okay.

00:24:01.900 all right well they just think this is really horrible but they didn't they didn't you ask them

00:24:08.000 you ask them they said no twice but that's not good enough we have to go to the faculty lounge

00:24:15.340 we got to ask the faculty in the faculty lounge you know we're going to ask with a hashtag

00:24:19.800 you don't you don't drive to Montana and ask the grandchildren of the man on the helmet

00:24:27.080 No one did. And you know why they didn't? They didn't do it because they knew they wouldn't

00:24:32.440 have a problem with it. The well-meaning. This is what they never see about themselves.

00:24:40.540 Every crusade like this carries a quiet insult inside of it. Every single time. Oh, you're too

00:24:49.580 weak. You're too pathetic to speak for yourself. You're too confused to know when you've been 1.00

00:24:54.360 insulted. You're too small to be trusted with your own grandfather and your own heritage.

00:25:00.960 I can't think of anything more demeaning than that. The tribe that survived the end of the 0.74

00:25:09.520 buffalo, the shrinking of its land, the schools built to kill its culture,

00:25:18.420 does not need rescuing from a football helmet.

00:25:25.220 Oh, these people.

00:25:26.760 Gosh, they are so. 0.99

00:25:29.980 Let's make sure in Ireland that nobody's hugging their grandmother

00:25:33.960 and their grandfather without consent.

00:25:38.200 We hashtag, or we hyphen consent, consent.org. 0.99

00:25:46.220 Shut up. 0.96

00:25:48.420 I got to tell you, the surest way to make a man feel small is to speak for him while he's standing right there. 0.99

00:26:00.720 The people who say this, who did this, they just say, you know,

00:26:05.420 we're doing it because so much, the white man has taken so much from the Native American people.

00:26:12.960 Really? You're the one who just took what they had.

00:26:15.620 they say

00:26:18.260 they say you're erasing their history

00:26:20.980 you're saying I'm preserving

00:26:23.060 their history you're erasing it

00:26:25.320 you're against

00:26:35.100 powerful outsiders deciding

00:26:37.100 what's best for the tribe

00:26:38.400 except you never asked any

00:26:41.080 of them and when you did they gave you

00:26:43.060 the same answer that was against

00:26:45.040 your answer two times oh you know what here's what here's what you know that they don't know

00:26:54.540 yet this is all ending this is ending it's only a matter of time you're already seeing it it started

00:27:00.720 with covid it started to chip away it started to fall apart people are like i've had enough of this

00:27:05.680 and i gotta tell you they're gonna double down after this election they're gonna double down

00:27:11.020 You think it was bad then? Do you remember what it was like under Obama and then Trump lost in

00:27:16.220 2020? And all of a sudden you're like, oh my gosh, these people are monsters. What are they doing? 0.93

00:27:22.080 All of a sudden they're telling you that you got to trans your kid. And you're like, wait a minute,

00:27:26.780 I didn't vote for any of that. You thought that was bad? They win this election. They're going

00:27:31.300 to double down again. And most of us are really tired of people being rescued by people who never

00:27:40.720 asked. You can hear it in the stands. You can hear it in that family in Montana

00:27:47.240 who just wanted somebody to knock on their door and just say, hey, what do you think?

00:28:00.020 John Tugan's white calf spent his life making sure America would not forget his people.

00:28:06.540 he stood at the park gate he went to Washington he wanted his face in your pocket for 50 years

00:28:15.080 he got his wish and then white people do-gooding over-educated white people said that he can't have 0.76

00:28:23.500 that they're the same bigoted racist that they were in the 1800s 0.98

00:28:30.200 It's an embarrassment 0.92

00:28:33.880 It wasn't an embarrassment

00:28:35.880 He was a chief

00:28:37.540 I hope this family 0.78

00:28:41.280 I hope they can find a way to sue

00:28:44.120 In the end

00:28:53.020 They're going to get his face back on the

00:28:54.800 His face is going to be back on the helmet

00:28:56.980 Mark my words 1.00

00:28:58.040 because America is sick and tired of this

00:29:01.100 and restoring what honor he wanted his whole life

00:29:08.680 to remind you that the Blackfeet were people that existed here.

00:29:13.880 They want it back. 0.73

00:29:15.780 And it's high time we give it back to them.

00:29:19.880 Back in a minute.

00:29:20.680 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:29:45.940 so on a base what i have to say on a on a monologue uh or a

00:29:50.180 op-ed piece that was at glennbeck.com earlier this week, and it was made by Michaela, who's

00:29:58.620 absolutely one of my favorite people on earth. She is so bright. She is so, she's a really godly

00:30:06.960 woman and very, very smart and compassionate. She's better than most of us combined, I think.

00:30:12.900 and here's her flaws she has a degree in acting okay what a worthless so she has a degree in 1.00

00:30:21.120 acting uh and she married a guy and i'm not making this up that went to clown school now 0.95

00:30:30.380 the harvard of clown schools don't get me wrong it's the harvard of crown of clown schools but

00:30:35.960 it's still a clown school okay and she has played an angel and a greek goddess and an astronaut's 0.98

00:30:41.780 wife and all of the other crap that every, you know, every actor, uh, you know, has ever played. 0.98

00:30:47.060 Okay. She knows the arts. And so she's saying, she came to me and she's like, Glenn, I want to 1.00

00:30:53.460 write an op-ed for glenbeck.com. And, uh, I said, okay, what do you want to write about? And she

00:30:58.140 said, I recognize these democratic socialists and I recognize them in a way people, most people will

00:31:04.400 miss. So she did. And I want you to go to glenbeck.com and read it. Midterms are right around

00:31:10.540 the corner. DSA is on the rise. Most of us are watching and go, what are these people thinking?

00:31:16.520 Who votes for socialists? And to answer that question, let me take you back to the 2016

00:31:26.140 aspiring young rapper named Young Cardamom. We now know him as Mayor Zoran Mamdani.

00:31:36.820 same year the same year a young woman from a middle-class family in lubbock texas

00:31:43.940 had just moved to new york to become a painter and she paid the rent working at taco bell and

00:31:50.880 trader joe's and pizza hut and today she's a state assembly woman and this summer she won

00:31:57.520 the democratic primary for congress with bernie sanders in her corner and a yale man who studied

00:32:04.620 literature and sculpture and was selling other people's art in a chelsea gallery you know one

00:32:10.020 of the nice chelsea galleries it's like the harvard of clown schools today he's the co-chair

00:32:15.900 of the new york city dsa drawing 95 000 a year plus benefits he lives in brooklyn in a townhouse

00:32:23.860 his parents bought and renovated worth about a million and a half bucks his father built a

00:32:29.620 construction business. And for years, his social media handle has been Union Gustavo. And his

00:32:37.260 profile says Union Electrician. But that's not really true. The electrician's union threw him

00:32:45.560 out of its apprenticeship for not showing up to work or to class. But his profile still says

00:32:51.680 Union Electrician. It's kind of like, I'm a doctor. I've never really actually seen a patient,

00:32:56.660 But I'm a doctor. I got the coat, okay? So you have a rapper, the painter, and a sculptor.

00:33:04.680 That's the bench of the largest socialist organization in American history.

00:33:10.080 Now with more than 120,000 dues-paying members, this is the head of it.

00:33:17.920 So who are these people? Well, Nate Silver came out, and he had a great answer for it. He said,

00:33:23.740 highly educated and

00:33:25.520 downwardly mobile

00:33:26.900 you did everything you were told

00:33:31.900 they did everything

00:33:33.160 you went to a good school, you got good grades

00:33:36.040 you got a degree that your professors

00:33:37.920 told you would be as noble

00:33:40.060 as medicine

00:33:41.040 except it wasn't medicine

00:33:42.880 then you graduated and the engineering major

00:33:45.920 down the hall got a six figure offer

00:33:47.920 and you got an apron

00:33:48.920 at a place you didn't need to study to go work at

00:33:52.260 that hurts

00:33:54.420 the rent is real

00:33:56.720 the loans are real

00:33:58.300 now frying tacos is an honest work

00:34:01.800 you know that nobody should ever

00:34:03.760 sneer at

00:34:04.800 but at the moment every young person

00:34:07.500 chooses between two conclusions

00:34:09.160 one is I need to find something

00:34:11.700 that will pay

00:34:13.940 the other is

00:34:15.780 the system is rigged against the people

00:34:17.460 who see the world as it should be

00:34:19.900 and I'm one of those people

00:34:22.320 The second one feels better.

00:34:24.220 It does.

00:34:25.620 It turns your disappointment into a cause.

00:34:28.880 I don't have to change.

00:34:30.440 The world has to change.

00:34:31.800 Come on, let's all change it together.

00:34:34.620 And believe me, drama people are full of drama.

00:34:38.820 Now comes the second problem.

00:34:41.540 The circle's where these people live.

00:34:44.980 Privilege is the worst thing you can have.

00:34:47.760 and many of these aspiring artists

00:34:50.460 turned DSA leaders

00:34:51.960 have privilege

00:34:53.880 I was taking tap when I was

00:34:56.440 five, I took piano and voice

00:34:58.740 and summer programs

00:34:59.920 and I had a mom who drove me to every

00:35:02.400 audition and a dad who paid for the fine

00:35:04.460 arts degree, it was the bravest thing I've

00:35:06.400 ever done

00:35:07.120 in the article, Michaela says

00:35:10.500 plainly

00:35:11.520 outside of rare cases

00:35:14.220 the arts are not

00:35:16.460 a poor kid's game

00:35:17.680 true 0.95

00:35:19.560 it's absolutely true

00:35:21.460 and nobody wants to be a starving artist

00:35:23.540 nobody does

00:35:24.540 so what do you do with a rich

00:35:27.460 father in a room where rich fathers

00:35:29.860 are the villain

00:35:30.540 well

00:35:33.820 you have a couple of choices you can confess

00:35:35.860 it or you

00:35:37.860 can put on a costume

00:35:39.100 a hard hat

00:35:41.500 a union card the name

00:35:43.760 of a trade you never finished

00:35:45.460 I'm a union electrician

00:35:47.460 are you? You sound like a kid who grew up with privilege that didn't want to do any work

00:35:54.080 whatsoever, and now you're hiding behind that. And the artists, the art world, very good at

00:36:01.600 costumes. They get it. They're very good at acting, good at getting attention, making a room

00:36:07.860 feel something, anything, taking that applause, taking that bow. That is the job.

00:36:15.540 On a stage, it's a gift.

00:36:20.860 In politics, it's the audience getting played.

00:36:25.900 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:36:27.040 We run a costume shop, too.

00:36:29.680 I mean, I have brand new Carhartt clothing up at my ranch.

00:36:35.560 I've never mended a fence.

00:36:37.280 Never, never done it.

00:36:38.300 I mean, I drive my pickup truck because I like it, not because I have to.

00:36:45.240 I have people that run my ranch.

00:36:47.160 I'm not going anywhere near the pregnancy check for my cattle.

00:36:51.340 I'm not sticking my arm up there.

00:36:52.860 I'm not doing it, okay?

00:36:54.900 Same shop, different rack.

00:36:56.680 We all wear costumes from time to time, okay? 0.70

00:36:59.940 But this is dangerous because let me take you back to Russia.

00:37:02.460 Summer of 1874.

00:37:05.560 Thousands of university students, many of them sons and daughters of the landowners and the officials

00:37:10.920 and the czars and all of these people.

00:37:16.440 They've got diamonds and Fabergé eggs. 0.61

00:37:19.640 And they decide the revolution is going to come for the peasants.

00:37:23.380 All somebody has to do is go out and get the villages to wake them up. 0.74

00:37:28.480 So they put costumes on, rough peasant shirts, bark shoes.

00:37:33.800 Not making that up, bark shoes. 0.89

00:37:36.660 Some of them learn to cobble boots or saw lumber so they'll have a trade to hide behind.

00:37:42.280 No, I'm just like you.

00:37:44.760 They called it going out to the people.

00:37:47.340 And they walk out into the countryside carrying pamphlets to explain how the peasants are being so badly cheated.

00:37:53.860 And the peasants look at them.

00:37:57.200 And then the stories say they looked at their hands and they realize you're a total fraud.

00:38:03.000 You speak like the city.

00:38:04.520 You don't have a single callus on a single hand.

00:38:08.840 And they were explaining to the village men who had never left it.

00:38:13.300 Oh, no, this is what's happening.

00:38:14.400 And the village men are looking at it like, you're not a peasant, okay?

00:38:19.660 And the peasant quietly listened, politely.

00:38:23.220 Then they walked down the road and turned them into the police.

00:38:26.480 More than 1,000 of these frauds were arrested.

00:38:29.900 One trial alone had nearly 200 defendants.

00:38:34.520 Now, the students didn't go home and rethink anything.

00:38:38.660 Some of them decided that if the people wouldn't be persuaded, then the people would have to be acted for.

00:38:46.880 And so they stopped printing pamphlets and started bombing buildings.

00:38:50.900 They started building bombs and setting them off.

00:38:55.620 1881, they killed the czar.

00:38:58.180 Not just any czar, the one who had 20 for 20 years had freed the serfs.

00:39:05.560 They murdered the man who freed the peasants in the name of the peasants because the peasants wouldn't follow them.

00:39:15.380 See, this is where the costume goes when the audience stops clapping, not to humility, to contempt.

00:39:21.580 And the audience is about to stop clapping for these people because it's going to figure it out.

00:39:26.100 It's only a matter of time. 1.00

00:39:28.180 If the working man won't believe you, then he has to be stupid or brainwashed or voting against his own interests or a traitor to his own race. 1.00

00:39:39.760 You've heard the phrase over and over again. 1.00

00:39:42.700 We're living an 1874 podcast right now.

00:39:46.560 That's what's happening.

00:39:48.900 Think about the electrician who didn't finish the apprenticeship.

00:39:51.840 five and a half years up before dawn night classes after a full job you know on a bad job site a bad

00:40:01.240 shoulder by 40 he he's the man the costume was borrowed from and is now sitting on that guy that

00:40:11.320 never did anything think about the woman who is still you know working in the friar at 45 long

00:40:17.680 after the painter passed through on her way to congress they don't need somebody to play them

00:40:23.540 do you do you know the story of um

00:40:25.720 marie antoinette do you know why the french people were so angry at her it's not the cake

00:40:36.240 thing let them eat cake that probably was never even said and if it was it wasn't like

00:40:42.340 we'll let them eat cake it was in her world cake was so plentiful well there's plenty of cake if

00:40:50.080 they don't have bread why don't they just have cake there's always cake around okay she was just

00:40:53.920 that phrase was more about her just being so out of touch but do you know do you know who she was

00:40:59.460 do you know that by the time of the revolution came she wasn't even living in the palace she

00:41:04.200 was so sickened by the palace she was so disgusted by living that life and she couldn't go anywhere

00:41:12.320 because she was the queen so she had to live at Versailles but she lived like I think it was like

00:41:19.100 a mile away I mean I just I was just there it's it's it's astounding that more people don't know

00:41:24.120 this she actually built a second palace on the on the site of Versailles and she was living there 0.99

00:41:32.460 and every all of the elites were pissed at her because why she's living at this palace that she 1.00

00:41:38.840 had all of this wood brought in and all of this stuff brought in she built it to look like a 1.00

00:41:44.380 peasant's town and then she had clothing made to make her look like a peasant even though she

00:41:51.940 wasn't a peasant and she wasn't living a peasant's life and she was she would go out and she'd milk

00:41:56.680 the cow and she was living the life of a regular everyday person but it wasn't an everyday person

00:42:01.620 and so when the when the people finally stormed the gates of Versailles and saw that they hated 0.67

00:42:07.380 her. Because they're like, look

00:42:09.440 at, she's mocking us.

00:42:13.780 That's what's coming, gang.

00:42:15.720 You are living the life

00:42:17.500 of Marie Antoinette. You're dressing

00:42:19.320 up as a union worker and you're not

00:42:21.340 a union worker.

00:42:23.360 And when the people find out

00:42:25.440 who you are, they're not going to be happy.

00:42:32.160 These people just

00:42:33.400 need somebody to hear them.

00:42:35.380 And when you ask them what they want,

00:42:37.380 They rarely say abolish the Senate or, you know, public ownership of large corporations.

00:42:42.980 They're starting to.

00:42:44.580 They'll just say instead, I want people to lower the rent.

00:42:49.760 I want somebody to leave my paycheck alone.

00:42:52.380 I want my kids to do better than me.

00:42:56.680 The last one is a tell.

00:42:59.520 Because people in costumes are the kids who did not do better than their parents.

00:43:05.200 and they decided that it was everybody else's fault that they didn't do better than their

00:43:10.360 parents. So what do you take out of this? This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
