00:00:00.000 If you couldn't believe the news from yesterday about the monkeys containing, you know, herpes and COVID that escaped from containment in some movie gone bad in Mississippi, there's the monkey story has just gotten nuts.

00:00:12.940 We've talked about that.

00:00:13.940 Also, Wikipedia taking a stand on something as simple as not allowing pedophiles to edit pages regarding child stars and and children.

00:00:21.400 You know, it's noble, but it also shows how low society has fallen.

00:00:25.820 And the proof is in the pudding. The files on Arctic Frost have been released.

00:00:30.160 You want to save the Republic? You need to understand this story and make sure it never happens again.

00:00:34.900 All this and more on today's podcast.

00:00:37.540 Winter isn't just a season. It is a test. And every year it asks the same questions.

00:00:42.300 Are you ready? You ready? Because when the power goes out because, you know, of Bill Gates and his and his chat GPT's, the world turns silent and cold and dark.

00:00:53.940 The people who are prepared are the ones who sleep easy.

00:01:13.140 So even if the lights go out, you still have heat.

00:01:15.520 The simple idea, but a powerful one.

00:01:17.360 Be ready before you have to be stock up on emergency food that lasts for years.

00:01:21.560 Secure your winter supplies and rest easy knowing you're prepared for whatever this season might bring.

00:02:31.220 Now let's get to work.

00:02:32.200 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:44.780 Well, President Trump said, now yesterday, truly great meeting with presidency.

00:02:50.440 You know, that's the problem.

00:02:51.540 I mean, so much is hyperbole.

00:02:53.040 You never know.

00:02:53.800 Truly great.

00:02:54.500 Like everybody said, that meeting couldn't happen.

00:02:56.520 It happened.

00:02:57.320 And they said it couldn't be done.

00:02:58.860 And it was done.

00:02:59.460 I mean, everything is like, people, I got up this morning, people said I couldn't open the door, and I opened the door.

00:03:04.840 Okay.

00:03:05.200 It was the greatest door opening I've ever seen.

00:03:07.580 But from all, you know, accounts, this was a really, really good meeting.

00:03:13.380 Let me just say this.

00:03:14.480 He's getting ready to meet with Putin and with what Putin has done in the last couple of days.

00:03:20.740 And now everybody's upset.

00:03:22.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:03:23.180 Donald Trump said he's going to start testing nuclear weapons again.

00:03:27.580 Yeah.

00:03:28.040 Yeah.

00:03:28.920 Yeah.

00:03:29.180 You know why?

00:03:30.500 Well, China is testing them, and Russia is testing them.

00:03:33.880 We've had a moratorium on that.

00:03:36.280 And here's what he's really doing.

00:03:38.420 If I heard the news, if I heard the news, and I was in the Donald Trump White House, I would have walked in after I heard the news, especially yesterday, that Vladimir Putin has a new nuclear missile that he can shoot 6,000 miles away underwater.

00:03:57.720 And it can blow up like a hydrogen bomb under the water, just off the coast of California, which would create a radioactive tsunami.

00:04:08.460 This is what I would tell the president.

00:04:09.880 This is what I would tell the president.

00:04:11.960 Congratulations, Mr. President, you've won.

00:04:14.880 Now, why would I say that?

00:04:16.140 Because Vladimir Putin is not going to do that.

00:04:20.600 It would make him the pariah of the entire world.

00:04:24.380 You're not going to set off a nuclear radioactive tsunami to cover Los Angeles.

00:04:30.920 Because if I'm the president, and maybe this would make me a very bad president, but if I'm the president and I hear that he has just launched a nuclear missile towards Los Angeles, my decision is, do I stop it?

00:04:47.900 Yes, I do everything I can to try to stop the missile from hitting.

00:04:50.580 Do I respond before it hits?

00:04:55.400 All conventional wisdom is, you've got to launch now, Mr. President.

00:04:58.660 You have to launch now.

00:05:01.300 Now, maybe this makes me a very bad president.

00:05:03.540 I don't know.

00:05:04.940 I think it probably does.

00:05:06.480 But I would say, no, I'm not launching.

00:05:09.200 Let it hit.

00:05:10.720 And then I'm going to say to the rest of the world immediately after it hits, this man just buried Los Angeles, killed all of these people.

00:05:20.580 By launching a missile, a hydrogen bomb, underwater, God only knows what it's done to the environment, but here's what it's done to people, and here's what it's done to Los Angeles.

00:05:32.860 I give the world an hour before I respond.

00:05:36.500 I don't want a nuclear war, because we all know what that means.

00:05:40.260 But the rest of the world, you need to condemn him, and he needs to go on trial for crimes against humanity.

00:05:46.780 Nothing, nothing warrants that kind of abuse of nuclear weapons.

00:05:52.980 That's what I would do as president, because I know the rest of the world would not be kind to anyone who launched a nuclear weapon at the West Coast.

00:06:04.620 Wouldn't.

00:06:05.040 If we launched a nuclear weapon, you know, even if we blew up Israel with a nuclear weapon, the world would be like, look at what America has just done. 0.99

00:06:14.900 They've killed all these Jews. 1.00

00:06:16.240 Wait a minute. 0.89

00:06:16.620 I'm so confused right now what I'm for and what I'm against.

00:06:18.720 But they would still condemn it.

00:06:20.200 Nobody can get away with that.

00:06:22.540 He knows, Putin knows, the president is the most concerned about nuclear weapons.

00:06:27.000 So what does he do?

00:06:28.260 He describes two nuclear weapons he has.

00:06:31.140 He's pulling out all that.

00:06:33.060 There's nowhere to go from there.

00:06:34.680 What are you going to do next?

00:06:35.680 I'm going to blow up the moon.

00:06:39.320 He's just used everything in his bag of tricks.

00:06:43.120 There's no place bigger he can go other than actually launching those things.

00:06:47.860 Mr. President, congratulations.

00:06:49.560 You've just won.

00:06:50.240 So that's what I think is happening with what Donald Trump has done this week and the way Putin is now reacting.

00:07:01.260 And he's about to turn his sights on Putin and Ukraine.

00:07:04.060 So let's watch and see what happens.

00:07:06.140 There's something else that has happened this week that we haven't had a chance.

00:07:09.160 And actually, I think, happened last week.

00:07:10.500 And I haven't had a chance to address it.

00:07:11.760 But I think it's important mentally because we have a problem with actual common sense in this country.

00:07:19.960 So let me tell you a story.

00:07:21.000 In New York, there was a conference hall that was holding just another boring conference with all the people from Wikipedia.

00:07:31.100 You know, the beautiful Wikipedia people.

00:07:33.740 They are so great.

00:07:34.620 I'm so glad Grokipedia is around. 1.00

00:07:36.720 Not sure it's all that much better, but it's better so far than Wikipedia.

00:07:40.740 But Wikipedia is responsible for shaping what the world calls truth.

00:07:46.920 So the head person of, you know, the CEO of Wikipedia is giving a keynote address.

00:07:53.080 And a guy walks onto the stage and pulls out a revolver.

00:07:57.060 Doesn't point it at the CEO.

00:07:59.400 Points it to his own head.

00:08:01.200 And he says, I'm not here to hurt anybody.

00:08:05.520 Well, you've got a gun. 0.94

00:08:06.800 I'm a non-contact pedophile. 1.00

00:08:09.980 And I want to kill myself. 0.99

00:08:13.640 Now, the worst part of me goes, well. 0.99

00:08:19.020 But that's the worst part of me.

00:08:21.460 This guy's name is Connor Weston.

00:08:24.160 Okay.

00:08:24.760 He calls himself online Gapazoid.

00:08:28.480 Okay.

00:08:29.780 Maybe you should.

00:08:31.240 Okay.

00:08:31.620 He wasn't there to harm anybody, but himself.

00:08:35.460 He said, I'm there to protest what he called a don't ask, don't tell policy at Wikipedia.

00:08:42.040 Now, this is a rule that has banned anyone who openly admits to being a pedophile, even those who claim to have never have acted on it.

00:08:52.000 Now, I don't know about you, but generally speaking, in my workplace, you claim to be a pedophile, even though, hey, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn, never acted on it.

00:09:03.600 But, boy, those children are hot. 0.90

00:09:05.440 I'm not interested in your opinion.

00:09:08.100 Okay.

00:09:08.440 I don't feel comfortable being around you.

00:09:12.380 Okay.

00:09:13.100 Now, I appreciate that you are admitting that.

00:09:17.000 But can I ask you the next question?

00:09:19.080 What are you doing, dude, to get help?

00:09:21.340 Okay.

00:09:22.100 Well, nothing.

00:09:23.100 Nothing.

00:09:23.480 I'm working on Wikipedia, and I'm, well, I was.

00:09:27.280 I was editing stories about children, psychology, sexuality.

00:09:33.460 I call Wikipedia, and, like, what the hell are you thinking? 0.99

00:09:36.040 Do you know this guy's a pedophile? 0.98

00:09:38.200 Not acting pedophile. 0.97

00:09:41.000 Okay.

00:09:41.540 What does Wikipedia do?

00:09:42.840 Well, the editor was like, we can't have those people editing.

00:09:46.480 Look, let's not just tell anybody.

00:09:47.840 Let's just make sure if we find that out about somebody, you're not editing the Wikipedia files about children.

00:09:56.540 Okay.

00:09:57.160 And he said, I don't want a scandal on this.

00:09:59.400 Let's just do it.

00:10:00.040 Well, so he was, he had been editing articles about children, child actors, child abuse prevention, child psychology, and pages on sexuality.

00:10:11.800 Kind of a bad idea.

00:10:12.760 I look at Wikipedia for the very first time, perhaps, and go, good move, Wikipedia, right?

00:10:19.380 So they had a ban.

00:10:21.220 He no longer could have access to change any of those or be an expert on any of those pages, and I think it was the right call.

00:10:30.380 He's like, well, we're punishing the, this is thought, this is thought crime, because yes, I'm thinking about it, but I haven't acted on it.

00:10:38.280 No, this isn't thought crime.

00:10:39.500 That's not thought crime.

00:10:41.660 Here's the way to think about this.

00:10:43.420 I get onto a plane, and the pilot says, ladies and gentlemen, as your captain's speaking, and I just want you to know I've been having wild, wild thoughts of suicide lately, but I'm going to get you to San Francisco pretty safely, and it looks like everything's going to be okay.

00:11:02.220 Forget about the suicidal thoughts.

00:11:03.960 I'm not acting on my suicidal thoughts.

00:11:05.900 I say, excuse me, stewardess, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

00:11:10.220 Either he's off the plane or I'm off the plane.

00:11:12.660 I don't want a guy piloting the plane that has suicidal thoughts.

00:11:17.660 Now, that's not punishing him for thought crime.

00:11:21.420 Ladies and gentlemen, I understand some of you are in a full-fledged panic right now. 0.63

00:11:25.420 What are you, accusing me of actually wanting to kill all of you?

00:11:29.900 Again, I've had wild suicidal thoughts lately, but let's not panic here and start prosecuting people for thought crime. 0.95

00:11:38.940 Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

00:11:39.880 Yes, let's.

00:11:42.020 I don't want to condemn him.

00:11:43.080 I'm not going to call him a bad person, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:45.240 But can we get him out of the cockpit so he is safe?

00:11:48.640 Get him some help and make sure that we get to our destination without going down in his suicidal thought.

00:11:56.300 Okay?

00:11:56.540 That's just common sense.

00:11:59.920 We, our lives, depend on his stability.

00:12:06.320 That's not a thought crime.

00:12:07.960 Okay?

00:12:08.500 And we don't judge him.

00:12:11.680 You know?

00:12:12.140 If you admit you're, you know, I am really attracted by that hot four-year-old.

00:12:17.700 Uh, but I'm fighting the darkness every day.

00:12:22.200 Great.

00:12:23.120 Well, that's wonderful.

00:12:25.080 I'd like to know what you're doing to get help to fight that darkness.

00:12:28.740 And thank you for informing me.

00:12:30.500 And I support your fight of that darkness.

00:12:32.620 Uh, but you should not be in the airplane next to the guy with the suicidal thoughts.

00:12:38.540 Okay?

00:12:40.540 The problem is, with the suicidal thoughts and the pilot, we can actually say, um, we need to get him some help.

00:12:49.020 Okay?

00:12:49.840 I mean, unless you're in Canada, I think suicide is actually okay in Canada now.

00:12:53.800 Um, but we should get you some help. 0.90

00:12:56.680 But with pedophilia, you can't do that.

00:12:59.480 Because how dare you question their truth?

00:13:02.620 Right?

00:13:03.820 So we can't even say, he's saying, I haven't acted on it.

00:13:08.020 Okay?

00:13:08.380 Why?

00:13:08.940 Because he knows it's wrong.

00:13:10.740 But we can't say to him, what are you doing to get help, dude?

00:13:15.040 What are you doing?

00:13:15.980 We can't say, you really need help.

00:13:19.360 Because that's politically incorrect.

00:13:22.060 That is, that is, that is taking the boundaries off of compassion.

00:13:29.820 We, we must not have boundaries on compassion, you know?

00:13:33.900 Just like somebody who has anger issues, I don't know.

00:13:36.540 I don't think they should work in law enforcement until they're healed.

00:13:39.460 You know what I mean?

00:13:41.100 Uh, some responsibility is just a little too heavy, you know, for the wounded to carry right now.

00:13:46.180 And that's not prosecuting thoughts.

00:13:48.260 We don't jail people for temptations they haven't acted on.

00:13:52.620 At least conservatives don't.

00:13:54.140 I mean, that's hate crime.

00:13:56.200 You know, that's thought crimes.

00:13:57.780 Those, you know, conservatives don't do that.

00:13:59.540 Um, that's all the rage on the left, not on the right.

00:14:03.460 But we as a society have to protect the innocent from preventable harm.

00:14:08.820 He's having suicidal thoughts.

00:14:10.880 What do you say we prevent that from happening to all of us on board?

00:14:14.700 That's not tyranny.

00:14:16.060 That's civilization.

00:14:18.480 The purpose of moral boundaries isn't to shame the fallen.

00:14:22.500 It's to shield the vulnerable.

00:14:24.380 And when you hold a position of influence, which, you know, I don't know, editing the world's encyclopedia and shaping how people understand, billions of people understand childhood, sexuality, and abuse, I don't know.

00:14:39.820 Our standard should be pretty high.

00:14:42.860 In fact, our standard should be absolute trust because a single edit there will bring the whole system down.

00:14:50.020 A single word subtly changed will alter how the rest of us perceive evil itself.

00:14:58.280 And if that trust is compromised, then the entire institution collapses.

00:15:02.880 So, yes, Wikipedia, continue to draw the line.

00:15:05.600 I'd like you to draw a few more lines.

00:15:07.880 But this one, this one is not balancing freedom over safety.

00:15:12.440 This one is already answered when you said, yeah, I wouldn't want the pilot to fly me to San Francisco.

00:15:18.920 Even if you, honestly, even if you didn't have suicidal thoughts, I'm on the wrong plane.

00:15:24.060 If you're flying me to San Francisco, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, can I get off?

00:15:29.220 Mercy and moral responsibility.

00:15:32.040 Technology with humanity.

00:15:33.620 These are the questions that deserve our time.

00:15:36.940 Those are the things we should be spending our time in and our time on.

00:15:42.800 We are, you know, if we can't agree to protect children from the risk of a broken mind behind a keyboard,

00:15:49.900 how will we ever protect humans from the power of a machine behind a screen?

00:15:56.600 The story is tragic.

00:15:57.920 Most of life is tragic.

00:15:59.100 The only thing that isn't a tragedy is when people who have moral clarity,

00:16:06.200 who have love in their heart, not persecution,

00:16:10.780 when they stand up and say, this has got to stop.

00:16:13.960 That's what stops life from being a constant tragedy.

00:16:17.940 You know, a man consumed by his own sickness, a gun in his hand.

00:16:21.040 Somebody has to confront that.

00:16:28.060 But it's also a warning.

00:16:29.780 Compassion without caution is not virtue.

00:16:33.260 It's negligence.

00:16:35.780 Love the sinner.

00:16:37.420 Lock the cockpit door.

00:16:40.180 Because the purpose of moral law, of boundaries, of rules and reason,

00:16:44.180 is not to punish the lost.

00:16:46.300 It's to keep the rest of us from being dragged into the fall.

00:16:50.040 Mercy for the broken, but protection for the innocent.

00:16:54.960 All right, let me talk to you a little bit about Relief Factor.

00:16:57.600 Somewhere along the way, we started living our lives in chairs.

00:17:02.060 We sit to work.

00:17:03.440 We sit to drive.

00:17:04.140 We sit to eat.

00:17:04.800 We sit to relax.

00:17:05.640 And then we wonder why our bodies feel like they're, you know, rusting in place.

00:17:09.160 We built a world that runs on screens and deadlines,

00:17:11.840 where our minds race and our bodies hardly even move.

00:17:14.380 Now our joints, our backs, our necks are paying interest on a debt

00:17:17.560 we never meant to take out.

00:17:20.280 I mean, we were just talking about that robot.

00:18:12.560 Let's talk about Arctic Frost.

00:18:14.580 That is the code name.

00:18:16.520 And according to the records released now by Senator Chuck Grassley

00:18:21.540 and the House Judiciary Committee,

00:18:24.620 the Biden-era DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith

00:18:27.840 drove an investigation that sprayed subpoenas like a fire hose.

00:18:32.520 We now know there were 197 subpoenas spanning more than 1,700 pages

00:18:40.160 sent to 34 people, 163 businesses,

00:18:45.240 and then vacuumed up communications tied to more than 400 Republican individuals

00:18:51.320 and entities.

00:18:52.780 Okay?

00:18:53.980 That's reaching into everything.

00:18:57.040 They reached into media companies, CBS, Fox, Fox Business, Newsmax,

00:19:02.200 Sinclair, into financial institutions, into political organizations,

00:19:07.360 even members, employees, and agents of the legislative branch.

00:19:13.160 So now you have congressmen and senators being vacuumed up into this whole thing.

00:19:18.860 This is not a precision rifle shot.

00:19:22.140 This is a net and a very big drag net.

00:19:26.160 Okay?

00:19:26.320 This is not the way justice in America works.

00:19:29.280 You do not go after, you know, an entire party.

00:19:34.520 400 people?

00:19:37.000 Now what were they looking for?

00:19:38.580 How did it start?

00:19:40.020 Well, let me say the opening memo to justify Arctic Frost is called,

00:19:46.440 in legal terms, it would be called the predicate.

00:19:48.340 And it was stamped, sensitive investigative matter.

00:19:53.480 Okay?

00:19:54.360 And it cited, and I love this, listen to this language,

00:19:57.760 cited evidence suggesting a conspiracy around alternate electors.

00:20:04.220 I'm going to get to that here in just a second.

00:20:05.740 But it relied on, leaned on, news clips, news clips to vacuum all these people up,

00:20:16.200 to get the engine turning, news clips were used.

00:20:22.500 Suggesting, not proving, suggesting.

00:20:26.120 And it just rose up the ladder.

00:20:27.520 Where, Ray, Garland, Monaco, even coordination with the White House Counsel's office,

00:20:34.480 it surfaces now in the record.

00:20:36.060 This went all the way to the top.

00:20:37.740 This is not my language.

00:20:39.540 This is what the documents now on the table imply.

00:20:43.400 Okay?

00:20:44.360 Now, let me just pause for a minute in the reading room of American memory.

00:20:50.600 What is this all about?

00:20:53.480 Alternate electors.

00:20:54.640 That's not a Martian invention.

00:20:59.620 Okay?

00:20:59.740 That's not something completely foreign.

00:21:01.440 We've seen them before.

00:21:03.160 1876 and 1960, they were messy, contested, deeply political moments

00:21:09.220 that produced zero criminal prosecutions for their existence of rival slates.

00:21:14.820 In fact, Al Gore, if he didn't set an alternate slate of electors,

00:21:21.300 he was counseled, and I've talked to Dershowitz about this,

00:21:24.980 he was like, they're counseled to have an alternate set of electors.

00:21:29.220 Because once, if you don't do that, and the tables turn, and you're like,

00:21:33.280 you know what?

00:21:33.720 There was a problem.

00:21:34.820 If you haven't seated those electors before a certain time, you have no case.

00:21:39.580 You can't change anything.

00:21:40.720 So it has to happen, and it has happened two times before.

00:21:45.700 I think three, but definitely in 1876 and 1960.

00:21:49.360 In Hawaii in 1960, Democrats signed certificates while a recount was still underway.

00:21:55.700 The recount flipped.

00:21:57.260 So it was ultimately certified.

00:22:00.240 The Democratic slate was certified.

00:22:02.780 Ugly?

00:22:03.700 Yes.

00:22:04.680 But that's the way it works.

00:22:05.800 It's not criminal.

00:22:07.180 And history has said no.

00:22:09.960 It's not criminal.

00:22:12.360 But it doesn't matter when it's about Donald Trump.

00:22:14.740 So let me go back to Arctic Frost now.

00:22:17.180 As the subpoenas flew, the FBI reportedly snooped phone records of Republican members of Congress.

00:22:24.900 The scope widened to donor analytics, broad financial data, Trump World Advisors, the lawyers, the media contacts.

00:22:37.260 We said during January 6th, we said internally, if you don't think they are going after a massive tree,

00:22:46.180 because remember, this is what the Patriot Act allows you to do now.

00:22:49.740 You go after one person, if anybody is calling somebody else, well, that person now can be hoovered up.

00:22:56.820 And who is that person called?

00:22:58.000 So you could get pretty much everybody that you want with one subpoena.

00:23:03.600 But that's not where they stopped.

00:23:05.100 They didn't stop with one subpoena.

00:23:07.460 Okay?

00:23:08.640 When the state cast a dragnet over the opposition's political ecosystem, 0.56

00:23:14.680 with the authority to seize all their communications, compel testimony, and chill the donors,

00:23:21.960 that's not tough politics.

00:23:23.900 Okay?

00:23:24.800 That is the government with badges and grand juries leaning its full weight into one side of the national scale.

00:23:34.220 Watergate?

00:23:35.420 Please.

00:23:36.860 Watergate.

00:23:37.580 Let me compare Watergate.

00:23:38.560 You know what Watergate was?

00:23:40.240 Watergate was a gang of political operatives who broke into an office to get information.

00:23:46.000 They weren't even losing the election.

00:23:48.700 Nobody even knows why they would have even done this. 1.00

00:23:50.880 It was so stupid that they even did this. 1.00

00:23:53.280 But it was a local office. 1.00

00:23:55.420 They broke in.

00:23:56.400 They wanted to get some information that was there, you know, on the candidate and on the race.

00:24:02.160 And then they covered it up.

00:24:03.800 And they tried to keep the public from the truth.

00:24:06.500 It was wrong.

00:24:07.840 It was criminal.

00:24:08.600 And it forced a president to resign.

00:24:11.180 And people went to prison over it.

00:24:13.680 But Watergate was a private burglary executed by a campaign and covered up by the White House.

00:24:21.840 Terrible.

00:24:22.940 Awful.

00:24:24.580 That's not the DOJ blanketing the opposing party's entire world with federal subpoenas while citing news hits as the predicate.

00:24:36.020 Do you see the difference?

00:24:41.100 Watergate was an attempt to weaponize a campaign.

00:24:44.180 Arctic Frost, if the emerging records hold, was the attempt to weaponize the entire state against a political party.

00:24:55.040 The difference there is the whole ballgame under a constitutional republic.

00:25:00.500 You don't have a constitutional republic if that's allowed to happen.

00:25:03.940 In America, the state is supposed to be the neutral referee, not a sideline enforcer wearing one team's colors, you know, under the stripes.

00:25:13.540 And don't even start with me on, well, what about Donald Trump?

00:25:16.480 But we'll play that game all day long.

00:25:19.180 And you know where that gets us?

00:25:20.980 Nowhere.

00:25:21.860 You want to make a charge against Donald Trump and what he's doing?

00:25:24.800 Good.

00:25:25.080 Let's take that separately.

00:25:27.080 Let's do that.

00:25:27.640 I'm willing to.

00:25:28.720 Let's take that separately.

00:25:30.140 Let's deal with this one first, okay?

00:25:34.740 The moment the referee picks up the ball and starts running, the game is over.

00:25:41.040 It's not a fair game anymore.

00:25:43.180 And if it can be done to them today, it will be done to you tomorrow.

00:25:48.740 That's not a slogan.

00:25:50.780 That's a law of political gravity.

00:25:53.480 Yeah, but Trump did.

00:25:58.240 Okay, let's have that conversation.

00:25:59.880 But can we at least have it honestly?

00:26:02.060 Because if you think this is about whataboutism, you cannot see the nose on the front of your face.

00:26:10.520 You're completely missing this.

00:26:13.580 You cannot make a weaponization of a government a partisan inheritance that each side can claim when it holds power.

00:26:22.940 If any president, any prosecutor, red or blue, uses federal power to criminalize political opposition rather than prosecute clear crimes, it is an offense against the equal protection under the law.

00:26:38.700 So let's lay down a standard here that I'm willing to apply to Donald Trump and to Joe Biden and any other president that comes our way.

00:26:47.100 Because if we don't lay this clear standard down, we're done.

00:26:50.340 The predicate, predication, it has to be real, not rhetorical.

00:26:58.100 Evidence suggesting via TV interviews is circular sourcing at its best.

00:27:05.720 It's not something that you launch a sprawling investigation on into a presidential rival's universe.

00:27:16.480 If you can't articulate the crime specifically, you don't get to launch a dragnet on the people that are running against you.

00:27:26.500 The scope has to be narrow and tied exactly to the alleged crime, not a sweep through media organizations and donor records and opposition infrastructure under vague theories that come from TV reports.

00:27:41.900 Journalism, political advocacy, fundraising, all of those things are protected activities.

00:27:51.180 Separation from the White House also must be unmistakable.

00:27:58.320 If the White House's counsel's office is coordinating device transfers into an investigation of its chief political rival, alarm should clang in every corridor of every main justice hall.

00:28:12.020 Everywhere.

00:28:12.980 The alarm, the Claxton, should be going off right now.

00:28:15.160 Also, historic practice matters.

00:28:21.700 If prior episodes, by the way, this is all thrown out by the Supreme Court, so you know, nothing there.

00:28:27.580 If prior episodes, 1876, 1960, and I believe 2000, if they were treated as political, not criminal,

00:28:37.800 especially where alternate electors were explicitly conditional, then you need compelling new legal theories and clean facts to criminalize it now.

00:28:50.940 You can't just say, yeah, well, history never did anything about that before, and actually they said it was fine, but now, now it's going to be a crime.

00:29:00.040 Wait, can you be specific on what has changed?

00:29:02.360 Well, we really dislike the people that are doing it this time.

00:29:07.060 That doesn't count.

00:29:08.040 That doesn't count.

00:29:09.920 Now, before anybody clips this monologue and screams, Glenn Beck said, nobody in the Trump administration did anything wrong.

00:29:17.680 Well, I don't think so, but that's not what I'm saying, because I'm not the judge.

00:29:22.040 I'm not your juror.

00:29:23.540 I'm the guy insisting that the rules are rules, and they should be applied to everyone on all sides.

00:29:33.480 Smith has his report.

00:29:35.620 He says he wants to tell his side.

00:29:37.480 Great.

00:29:38.060 Put him under oath.

00:29:39.600 If he didn't do it, then he should be set free, but it should be on a clear set of laws.

00:29:45.640 What's happened in the Biden administration, they just kept changing laws.

00:29:49.100 Well, yeah, I mean, the bank said there was no crime, but Donald Trump, and so all of a sudden there was a crime.

00:29:55.900 Nobody's ever been prosecuted, ever before that. 0.90

00:29:58.480 Even the bank said this is ridiculous.

00:30:01.200 There's no crime here. 0.81

00:30:02.740 Didn't matter.

00:30:04.880 That's not justice.

00:30:07.140 I want real justice.

00:30:09.380 Smith says he has a side.

00:30:10.640 Let's hear it.

00:30:11.920 Bring forward the memos.

00:30:14.100 Publish the predicate.

00:30:15.200 Let the country see whether we had a criminal case or an election cycle dragnet, because that's what it looks like.

00:30:22.360 If the emerging picture is right, if Arctic Frost opened up on thin evidence, escalated on political pressure, and metastasized into a government-wide sweep of the sitting president's chief rival and his entire ecosystem,

00:30:40.540 then this is not just like Watergate.

00:30:42.960 This is much, much, much, much worse than Watergate, in kind, not just degree.

00:30:51.120 Watergate tried to steal the information.

00:30:53.320 That's it.

00:30:53.920 They potentially attempted to steal legitimacy, to criminalize opposition by wielding the sword of the state.

00:31:01.920 That violates more than statutes.

00:31:04.620 That violates our creed that free men govern themselves by consent, and the process is sacred, and the law is the wall that even presidents and prosecutors can never climb over.

00:31:18.220 If proven, the remedy is not a sternly, a terse letter, or an op-ed and a shrug.

00:31:28.080 The remedy is the full force of the law.

00:31:31.540 Inspector General referrals, special counsels where appropriate, prosecution where crimes are clear, statutory reforms to bar this from ever happening again,

00:31:42.040 from press clippings being your predicate, bright lines need to be drawn, protections for the press, for donors, and legislators in political cases.

00:31:54.620 Sunlight, all the sunlight on how this began, who approved it, and why no one in the administration said stop.

00:32:01.860 And to my friends say, well, Trump is doing the same thing.

00:32:06.340 I hear you.

00:32:06.960 I don't agree with you, but I hear you.

00:32:09.560 Why don't we codify the guardrails right now?

00:32:14.080 So when emotions are high and temptations are strong, the republic doesn't survive by trusting that our guys will be angels.

00:32:22.600 It survives on the chains on power, everyone's power.

00:32:27.000 You know, when you hold a founding sermon in your hand, when you read the ink of Washington, scratched in the margin, notes of James Madison,

00:32:39.560 you discover that America's miracle wasn't that we selected saints.

00:32:44.040 It's that we built a system where even the sinners are fenced in by law.

00:32:48.520 That's the process.

00:32:50.440 When justice is blind to banners and bumper stickers and political parties, that's when America is America.

00:32:59.160 Arctic Frost, if the record stands, it took a blowtorch to that fence.

00:33:03.820 So the choice is really simple.

00:33:06.260 Retreat into teams, each side cheering for its prosecutors and its dragnet.

00:33:10.560 Or you can do the harder, nobler thing, just like our founders did, and insist that the same rules that bind all power,

00:33:19.180 especially when it's aimed at people we dislike, are enforced.

00:33:24.340 That's how you keep a republic.

00:33:26.020 That's how you make sure there's not a second Watergate.

00:33:29.500 Because we learned the lesson the first time.

00:33:31.640 But did we?

00:33:32.960 Because if we haven't, if we don't learn it this time,

00:33:35.200 then by God, we are done.

00:33:38.260 The story of America is not a story of who got whom.

00:33:43.620 It's a story of a people who refuse to let the government become a weapon.

00:33:47.180 And if that spirit still lives in us,

00:33:49.380 then this cold wind called Arctic Frost will pass and the Constitution will stand

00:33:54.440 because you stood for equal justice, for due process, for truth that doesn't bend to politics.

00:34:02.080 And that, that is how we relight the torch of America.

00:34:08.260 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:11.040 Okay, so, uh, Stu, uh, you know, the Reese's monkeys that escaped, you know, on a crash, uh, of a truck on, uh, I-59.

00:34:23.880 The what monkeys? The Reese's?

00:34:25.680 The Reese's monkeys, yeah.

00:34:27.660 Like, peanut butter flavored?

00:34:29.300 No, isn't that what they're called? The Reese's monkeys, aren't they?

00:34:31.540 I just, that just sounds delicious.

00:34:33.220 It does, but I don't recommend eating them.

00:34:35.880 Okay.

00:34:36.080 Okay, okay.

00:34:36.960 Especially these, yesterday we found out they were riddled with disease.

00:34:41.080 I think they had-

00:34:41.940 That's sad.

00:34:42.600 What did that, that's sad.

00:34:43.540 They had herpes and, I don't know, the clap and maybe a little COVID.

00:34:46.680 I don't know what they-

00:34:47.500 Yeah, herpes and COVID were the two real ones.

00:34:49.360 I don't think the clap was actually one of them.

00:34:50.920 I thought there was a third disease.

00:34:52.520 I wasn't sure.

00:34:53.060 I think it was hep C.

00:34:53.860 Yeah, hep C.

00:34:54.560 Okay, so, I don't recommend eating these monkeys, you know.

00:34:57.660 They sound less delicious, I'll say that.

00:34:59.140 There's not exactly chocolate and peanut butter inside, okay?

00:35:02.880 But now, as if that wasn't weird enough, that a truck got into an accident, the back door opened up, and these very aggressive monkeys-

00:35:15.120 This is a horrible movie plot.

00:35:16.660 It's horrible.

00:35:17.060 It's like a completely predictable, gee, what's going to happen?

00:35:21.700 Obviously, all of society gets disintegrated through disease.

00:35:26.240 They're now saying that these monkeys were not diseased, okay?

00:35:32.840 Oh, wow, great for them.

00:35:33.860 They got all of them except one.

00:35:36.880 And all of the other monkeys were, I'm quoting, they've all been destroyed.

00:35:42.260 Well, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:35:44.100 Why did you destroy them?

00:35:45.580 If they weren't diseased.

00:35:46.680 If they weren't diseased, why would you destroy them?

00:35:49.480 I mean, where were you shipping them to?

00:35:51.240 I mean, this monkey thing just does not make sense.

00:35:53.580 This is how governments make conspiracy theories much worse.

00:35:59.420 Just go out and say, riddled with disease.

00:36:02.300 Yep.

00:36:02.920 We were bringing them to the monkey Auschwitz. 1.00

00:36:06.260 We were going to kill them all. 1.00

00:36:07.480 Whatever it was. 1.00

00:36:09.140 Whatever.

00:36:09.460 Just tell the truth on it, okay?

00:36:12.020 Why would the driver-

00:36:13.860 This is what they're saying now.

00:36:15.080 The driver didn't know.

00:36:16.900 Well, wait.

00:36:18.080 So you just piled a bunch of monkeys into the back of his truck, and he somehow or another

00:36:25.220 just assumed they were riddled with disease?

00:36:28.660 Really?

00:36:29.220 He was just like, I just picked up these monkeys, man, and they're all diseased.

00:36:32.620 They all have hepatitis C.

00:36:34.420 They all have-

00:36:35.020 Why would-

00:36:35.540 Why would he say that?

00:36:36.420 Come on.

00:36:37.220 Come on.

00:36:38.780 Stop it.

00:36:39.560 Was this guy an employee, or was it an Uber?

00:36:43.740 He's just like, can you come pick up-

00:36:45.760 I got a bunch of monkeys.

00:36:46.580 I got a bunch of monkeys.

00:36:48.100 We're going to put them in the back of your Camry.

00:36:49.900 I need it in an Uber black.

00:36:51.780 You should bring the SUV, okay?

00:36:54.600 Of course, there might be some monkey mess in the end, because again, they're riddled

00:36:58.100 with disease. 0.90

00:36:59.180 They're riddled with diarrhea.

00:37:00.500 It's bad.

00:37:01.080 It's bad.

00:37:01.700 Okay, so now they're saying there's only one monkey on the loose, but it's totally fine.

00:37:08.100 It's totally fine?

00:37:08.920 It's totally fine.

00:37:09.820 So the one monkey that is loose, is it possible this one monkey was like the control group,

00:37:14.840 didn't have the diseases?

00:37:16.700 Maybe.

00:37:17.180 Is that possible?

00:37:17.960 Maybe.

00:37:18.460 The other five who did have the diseases, they destroyed them already, but they know

00:37:23.320 them by sight.

00:37:24.680 They could just, hey, there's number five.

00:37:27.760 That's the one without the diseases.

00:37:29.140 Don't shoot that one.

00:37:30.160 So could you just get a shot of my screen here?

00:37:33.740 Always a good idea.

00:37:34.900 Always a good idea.

00:37:35.660 Um, this, this is the picture they released of the rhesus monkey and they, they have a

00:37:43.020 picture of him like fiddling with the wires on a telephone pole.

00:37:48.360 Now, I don't know.

00:37:49.640 Maybe it's a Chinese spy monkey that is like, we're going to send these monkeys in. 1.00

00:37:54.840 They're going to rewire the entire country for collapse.

00:37:57.500 I don't know.

00:37:58.320 It also doesn't look safe for the monkey.

00:38:00.340 He's not grounded.

00:38:01.100 He doesn't have a safety tie nor a helmet.

00:38:04.020 There's nothing rubber, uh, that he is holding onto.

00:38:07.160 I fear for that monkey diseased or not. 0.99

00:38:09.740 I fear for the monkey.

00:38:10.820 Maybe this is how they destroyed all the monkeys.

00:38:12.440 They just told him to go to the top.

00:38:16.620 It's possible.

00:38:17.940 I mean, I mean, every day it just gets weirder and weirder.

00:38:22.200 Do you have a theory here as to what is, what actually occurred here?

00:38:26.620 Yeah.

00:38:26.820 Have you been able to?

00:38:27.720 No, no, this is just a theory.

00:38:29.500 I haven't put a lot of thought into the, into the escaped monkeys.

00:38:33.620 It seems like you have.

00:38:34.780 I really haven't.

00:38:35.720 I've read two stories on it.

00:38:37.200 That's it.

00:38:37.660 That's as far as I'm going with the diseased monkeys. 0.97

00:38:40.300 Until they show up at your house.

00:38:41.920 And then I'm going to regret.

00:38:43.300 I should have known.

00:38:44.340 Is it Paul?

00:38:45.160 What was your name?

00:38:46.040 Are you Bob?

00:38:47.380 We're friends.

00:38:48.180 We're friends, Mr. Monkey.

00:38:50.720 I think this is what happened.

00:38:53.340 The university was either buying or selling these monkeys and they were sending them to

00:39:00.740 some other place that is doing even more monkey experiments.

00:39:04.000 Okay.

00:39:04.360 Whether they had diseases or not, I'm assuming they did because I can't imagine the driver

00:39:08.280 being so specific.

00:39:09.540 Yes, they have three diseases.

00:39:11.600 They have hepatitis C.

00:39:13.020 They have COVID and the clap or whatever.

00:39:16.640 Okay.

00:39:18.060 There's another.

00:39:18.860 Yeah, there was three.

00:39:19.680 Yeah, yeah.

00:39:19.800 But like, you're right.

00:39:21.160 That just doesn't just make that up.

00:39:22.860 You wouldn't make that up.

00:39:23.620 Okay.

00:39:24.080 That doesn't mean it's true, but somebody told this guy.

00:39:27.020 Somebody told this guy.

00:39:27.820 Okay.

00:39:28.040 Unless he's just constantly assigning hepatitis C to people he runs into.

00:39:32.120 You know what?

00:39:32.640 I just was with a dog.

00:39:34.360 Leprosy.

00:39:34.940 Yeah.

00:39:35.960 My neighbor's dog has leprosy.

00:39:37.740 He doesn't even know it.

00:39:38.520 It's true.

00:39:38.660 I know.

00:39:39.360 I'm a dog and monkey whisperer.

00:39:41.600 It could just be his thing.

00:39:42.860 Yeah, I don't know.

00:39:43.740 Maybe this is just his content.

00:39:45.400 I just don't think that's the case.

00:39:46.800 Big social media account just assigning different diseases to different animals that walk by.

00:39:49.820 This is just another reason why we don't trust anything anymore because people in government 0.96

00:39:57.320 are weasels, diseased weasels that just don't have any spine at all. 0.97

00:40:02.920 Just tell the people the truth.

00:40:04.680 Yes, we lost some monkeys in an accident.

00:40:07.820 Don't go around the monkeys.

00:40:10.580 Okay?

00:40:10.920 You see one? 1.00

00:40:12.080 Shoot the monkey. 1.00

00:40:13.700 All right? 0.99

00:40:14.420 I love how, like, flippant you are.

00:40:16.160 Just tell us the truth about how you lost a bunch of diseased monkeys.

00:40:19.480 Come on.

00:40:19.840 I would rather know that than have them go, there's absolutely nothing.

00:40:23.640 So my kid is in the backyard playing with a diseased monkey.

00:40:26.620 You know what I mean?

00:40:27.100 I mean, I just think, just for safety, maybe never let your kid play in the backyard with

00:40:33.040 an escaped monkey of any sort, whether diseased or not.

00:40:36.180 That's just my advice. 0.99

00:40:37.060 You say it's diseased, and I mean, you know how many stupid people, didn't we go over this 1.00

00:40:39.840 yesterday? 1.00

00:40:40.240 Like, 63% of Americans have, they cannot read past a sixth grade level?

00:40:45.740 Yes, we did.

00:40:46.920 Diseased monkey kind of jumps out at you.

00:40:49.800 You know what I mean?

00:40:51.080 Monkeys, where 63% of the people cannot understand anything past a sixth grade level, I don't know.

00:40:57.840 Monkeys might be like, oh, there was a cute little monkey in my backyard.

00:41:00.400 Oh, okay.

00:41:00.920 And your other neighbor that maybe can read at a seventh grade level is like, it's a diseased

00:41:05.740 monkey, don't touch it. 1.00

00:41:07.180 I just can't read the names of these diseases because they're too long, but it's bad. 0.97

00:41:11.800 Yes, bad, bad.

00:41:13.460 Just stop lying to people.

00:41:15.900 Well, but you're just throwing that out there.

00:41:18.120 What if what they're doing is actually telling us the truth?

00:41:21.720 There's just nothing to be worried about, and that might actually be accurate in this

00:41:25.100 case.

00:41:26.120 Because here's why I think, let me see if I can find, uh, it weren't.

00:41:30.920 Part of, uh, these monkeys were, were not part of a tool, uh, uh, Tulane transport, and

00:41:37.040 they're not infectious.

00:41:39.460 Non-human primates at the Tulane National Biomedical Research Center are provided other

00:41:44.060 research organizations to advance scientific discovery.

00:41:46.680 The primates in question belong to another entity.

00:41:49.580 They're not infectious.

00:41:50.980 We, we are actively collaborating with local authorities.

00:41:53.380 We're going to send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed.

00:41:55.880 I mean, it's not us.

00:41:56.620 It's not us.

00:41:57.140 They're not diseased.

00:41:57.940 We have nothing to do with it.

00:41:59.120 When you think of our university, you don't think we have diseased monkeys here.

00:42:01.800 That's, I mean, it's a little, me thinketh, you protesteth too much.

00:42:06.740 I can see that.

00:42:07.860 If, if, can I give a suggestion?

00:42:09.720 Yes.

00:42:10.180 For future incidents like this.

00:42:11.940 Yes.

00:42:12.740 If you're going to be transporting a bunch of diseased monkeys.

00:42:16.420 Don't do it.

00:42:17.200 Don't do it.

00:42:18.080 Don't, don't.

00:42:18.540 Don't do it in an Uber.

00:42:19.500 Yeah.

00:42:19.640 Don't do it in an Uber.

00:42:20.460 And maybe, maybe have your own diseased monkey truck. 0.90

00:42:24.080 That's a, that's a, that's, you could go that way. 1.00

00:42:26.640 My, what a stupid, what a stupid phrase. 1.00

00:42:29.700 Have your own diseased monkey truck. 1.00

00:42:31.420 But that's expensive.

00:42:32.180 I will say diseased monkey truck's probably expensive. 0.96

00:42:34.360 It could be.

00:42:35.060 We are building all these BSL-4 laboratories.

00:42:37.420 Maybe we can keep them there.

00:42:38.940 But what I would say.

00:42:39.620 Here's an idea.

00:42:40.160 Maybe we don't take monkeys and we inject them with a whole bunch of different, like COVID.

00:42:45.120 You know.

00:42:45.720 We're not going to stop doing that.

00:42:47.480 That's not even an option.

00:42:48.880 We're going to, we are always going to gain a function in these things.

00:42:51.560 Can we not then just put them in a monkey truck?

00:42:53.720 Can we just keep them there?

00:42:55.680 I'm just saying, dress them adorably.

00:42:58.820 If you, like, let's say you, if you had all these diseased monkeys and you dress them 0.99

00:43:03.320 all like Paddington Bear. 0.72

00:43:04.740 Mm-hmm.

00:43:05.860 If they escaped, no one would be upset about it.

00:43:08.140 They'd think it was awesome.

00:43:09.640 Yeah.

00:43:09.880 And then your kids would be.

00:43:10.620 Look at that.

00:43:11.380 They'd be so excited to see the Paddington Bear monkeys.

00:43:14.200 Then they'd scratch the clap into you.

00:43:15.800 Yeah, but that, so what?

00:43:18.360 It's the fear, Glenn.

00:43:19.680 It's the terrorism.

00:43:20.620 Okay.

00:43:20.860 It's not like, when you think about terrorism, it's not necessarily that you're going to

00:43:23.460 be caught in a terrorist attack.

00:43:25.160 It's the fear it brings on a society. 0.98

00:43:27.520 That's what's happening with these diseased monkeys. 0.97

00:43:28.980 So you're saying if we dress them cute.

00:43:31.100 Yeah.

00:43:31.520 Like, put a little white coat on them.

00:43:33.220 You know what I mean?

00:43:34.280 That would be adorable.

00:43:36.060 He's wearing a Yankees pole cap.

00:43:37.480 Yeah.

00:43:37.840 That would be cute.

00:43:38.400 How cute would that be?

00:43:39.300 That would be really cute.

00:43:40.060 You would never be terrified of that.

00:43:42.020 You know what?

00:43:42.380 At one point in my career, I worked with both Zippy the Chimp and Bubbles the Chimp. 0.64

00:43:48.060 Zippy was the-

00:43:49.120 At the same time?

00:43:50.600 No.

00:43:51.060 Two separate times.

00:43:51.800 Two separate times.

00:43:52.760 They did not get along.

00:43:53.780 Anyway, Zippy was the David Letterman monkey cam, monkey.

00:43:59.360 Zippy the Chimp.

00:44:00.120 Zippy the Chimp.

00:44:00.760 And Bubbles was Michael Jackson's monkey.

00:44:03.140 You worked with Bubbles?

00:44:04.820 Are you kidding me?

00:44:05.480 I didn't work with Michael Jackson, man.

00:44:07.400 You got-

00:44:08.280 I went right to the top.

00:44:09.800 I worked with the monkey.

00:44:10.780 Oh, wow.

00:44:11.300 Okay?

00:44:11.740 Mm-hmm.

00:44:12.480 And I will tell you, they are adorable.

00:44:15.500 They are adorable.

00:44:16.460 Until they get to an age where they scratch your eyes out.

00:44:18.460 Yeah.

00:44:18.960 But they are adorable.

00:44:20.300 Didn't you do a commercial with one of them?

00:44:22.100 Yeah.

00:44:22.480 Both of them.

00:44:23.260 But Bubbles was, like, unbelievable. 0.98

00:44:25.620 Bubbles- 0.68

00:44:26.160 It's a true story.

00:44:28.080 So, I'm doing a commercial.

00:44:29.860 This is in the early 1990s, maybe late 80s.

00:44:33.420 And Bubbles is a big deal at the time. 0.99

00:44:35.560 It's Michael Jackson's monkey.

00:44:37.460 So, he would, like, what?

00:44:39.140 Like, rent him out for commercial shoots?

00:44:40.840 He would rent him out for commercial shoots.

00:44:42.200 Okay.

00:44:42.440 Yeah.

00:44:42.900 His slave owner.

00:44:44.260 But anyway.

00:44:45.500 Bizarre.

00:44:45.900 So, it was so funny because we went-

00:44:47.960 It was a very complex commercial where all of these things that were unbelievable were happening.

00:44:52.680 And, you know, at the middle of the commercial, a monkey just swings in on a rope and picks up a coffee mug, drinks the coffee, puts it down, looks at me, and then swings back out.

00:45:03.160 Okay?

00:45:03.460 And the commercial just keeps going.

00:45:04.960 You're not supposed to even-

00:45:06.120 I'm not supposed to even notice it.

00:45:08.060 Okay?

00:45:09.200 And so, we work and we rehearse all morning.

00:45:13.540 Mm-hmm.

00:45:14.220 And rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, rehearse to get this right because it's a complex commercial.

00:45:19.980 A limousine pulls up right after lunch.

00:45:23.180 And Bubbles gets out.

00:45:26.020 Okay?

00:45:26.680 We come in a cab.

00:45:29.260 A limousine pulls up.

00:45:30.700 With-

00:45:31.260 The monkey?

00:45:32.400 The monkey and the trainer.

00:45:33.920 Okay?

00:45:34.360 And so, the trainer gets out and Bubbles gets out of this limousine, like red carpet. 1.00

00:45:39.340 Yeah.

00:45:39.620 And he comes onto the set and we're starting to, you know, we're going to shoot it now.

00:45:45.540 We've rehearsed all morning.

00:45:46.440 We're going to shoot it. 0.99

00:45:46.940 You're going to shoot the monkey? 1.00

00:45:47.460 Yes. 1.00

00:45:47.720 We're going to shoot the monkey or the commercial. 0.97

00:45:49.580 I can't remember which.

00:45:50.240 And so, we're on set.

00:45:52.840 We're ready to go.

00:45:54.020 And Bubbles jumps up on this ladder and the trainer gives him the rope and said, Bubbles,

00:46:01.960 here's what you're going to do.

00:46:03.380 You're going to grab this rope.

00:46:04.360 When I point to you, you're going to swing across. 0.86

00:46:07.740 You're going to land right here on the desk behind him.

00:46:10.120 You're going to pick up this mug.

00:46:11.520 You're going to drink it.

00:46:12.360 You're going to set it back down.

00:46:13.440 You're going to look back at him.

00:46:14.560 And then you're going to take the rope and you're going to swing back over to the ladder.

00:46:17.560 Got it?

00:46:18.540 And Bubbles shook his head.

00:46:20.020 Yes.

00:46:20.900 And I'm like, yeah, right.

00:46:23.000 So, in the-

00:46:24.640 What?

00:46:25.300 He just said like-

00:46:26.360 That's exactly what he said.

00:46:29.160 English sentences.

00:46:30.300 English sentences.

00:46:31.380 That's what you're going to do.

00:46:32.240 Do you understand?

00:46:33.880 Yes.

00:46:34.560 Okay?

00:46:35.600 So, we start shooting the commercial.

00:46:37.640 And it's flawless.

00:46:39.740 It's perfect.

00:46:40.340 And he swings back at the very end and he lands on the ladder. 0.78

00:46:43.380 And I just screwed.

00:46:44.160 I just went, wait. 0.89

00:46:46.460 This can't happen.

00:46:47.360 And everyone's like, we had the take, man.

00:46:48.900 What is wrong with you?

00:46:49.740 The human screws it up.

00:46:50.960 And I'm like, it was the first take and the monkey gets it right?

00:46:54.360 The monkey gets it right just by him saying, this is what you do?

00:46:57.720 I mean, I don't think we should put diseases into the monkeys.

00:47:00.820 I'm just saying.

00:47:02.220 I see how you're tying that back in.

00:47:04.820 It was an amazing thing.

00:47:06.680 Amazing thing.

00:47:07.600 That's incredible.

00:47:08.360 Yeah.

00:47:08.720 And then he got old enough to scratch your eyes out and so they had to put him down.
