The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ 6⧸17⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hey, it's a great podcast for you today, kind of different in its approach.

00:00:03.080 We really tackle three stories.

00:00:05.240 The New York Times article on Russia and the U.S. cyber warfare.

00:00:09.500 I think this is actually a good story for Trump.

00:00:12.520 And we have a different look at it.

00:00:14.540 It kind of revolves around not only cyber warfare, but the silencing of voices and the politically correct world that we're moving into.

00:00:24.120 Also, the poll numbers.

00:00:26.100 Are they as bad for Trump as everybody's saying?

00:00:28.960 And is he firing people just because he doesn't like bad news or is it something else?

00:00:34.800 And the third story is about Bitcoin.

00:00:37.460 Not a lot of people talking about Bitcoin, but maybe perhaps you should be.

00:00:41.340 It's back up to 9,000.

00:00:43.080 And this time it's all institutional money.

00:00:45.800 Is this the time that we've been talking about coming for about two years where the big money gets in after they've torn it apart so they can make large sums of money?

00:00:58.180 All that and more on today's podcast.

00:01:05.460 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:08.180 Well, welcome to Monday.

00:01:16.120 Hello, America.

00:01:17.220 Looks like we're in trouble with Russia now.

00:01:21.020 Thank you, New York Times.

00:01:22.520 New York Times ran a story that the president has said is treasonous.

00:01:28.680 I don't agree with him on that.

00:01:30.300 I'm actually happy to read this, that we're actually doing something about it.

00:01:35.820 However, let's remember that Putin said World War Three is going to be fought with ones and zeros.

00:01:42.300 So we are just entering another stage of this global game that I believe will end in World War Three.

00:01:50.820 We'll get into that and what it means to you in one minute.

00:01:55.840 This is the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:58.180 Today's show is what I've wanted to do for months and I haven't been able to just haven't been able to put it in.

00:02:20.200 I haven't been able to get it in my mind exactly right yet, and I've decided just to do it, even though I don't feel it's exactly right.

00:02:29.540 But I feel an urgency and have for quite some time to talk to you about a few things.

00:02:37.080 And if you have a chance to listen to today's show, listen as long as you possibly can or go back and listen to the podcast.

00:02:44.220 You'll find this show every day on podcast on iTunes or wherever you find your podcast and you can listen to it at your convenience.

00:02:51.940 But today I think is an important one.

00:02:53.400 And we're going to start by talking about what was in the New York Times.

00:02:56.500 I don't know if you you read it or you just read the headlines, but the New York Times has come out with something that the president says is treason.

00:03:11.200 And I guess I can understand that, but I don't agree with it because it was all vetted, apparently.

00:03:17.980 And it it states it in the article through the State Department and the NSA and John Bolton.

00:03:25.720 But here's what here's the basic gist of the story.

00:03:32.800 Let me just give you the first paragraph.

00:03:34.080 The United States is stepping up digital incursions into Russia's electric power grid in a warning to President Putin in a demonstration of how the Trump administration is using new authorities to deploy cyber tools more aggressively.

00:03:48.960 Currently, current and former government officials say now, this is the problem with it.

00:03:53.720 They say it's current and former former officials.

00:03:56.600 And so it's the unnamed sources.

00:03:59.420 In interviews over the past three months, the officials describe the previously unreported deployment of American computer code inside Russia's grid and other targets as classified companion to a more publicly discussed action directed at Moscow's disinformation and hacking units around the 2018 midterm elections.

00:04:18.960 Advocates for the more aggressive strategy say it's long overdue after years of public warnings from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI that Russia has inserted malware that could sabotage American power plants, oil and gas pipelines or water supplies in any future conflict within the United States.

00:04:38.540 Okay, this to me is something that we have been talking to you forever about.

00:04:45.640 We have been begging someone in the government to pay attention to this.

00:04:49.960 The Putin says that we are already in World War Three.

00:04:54.440 He made this announcement to a group of Western reporters, oh, probably about four years ago.

00:04:59.620 And he said the the governments of the West just don't understand it yet.

00:05:04.340 But the next war is going to be all ones and zeros.

00:05:07.720 And so there's not going to be necessarily bombs falling from the sky with us.

00:05:12.000 They will shut off the electric grid.

00:05:14.520 Now, imagine if you fry our electric grid, the chaos that would ensue just in a week.

00:05:21.040 But if you could find a way like an EMP to destroy us, 95 percent of all Americans die within the first year if you just keep our electricity off.

00:05:36.900 Let me say that again.

00:05:37.960 If Russia could find a way to keep our electricity off, 95 percent of the U.S. population dies within the first 12 months.

00:05:49.880 Now, that is quite a statement.

00:05:53.660 That's much more powerful than any nuclear weapon.

00:05:57.020 And all you have to do is just lob a few ones and zeros over our way.

00:06:01.860 Russia has already said that this is the way we will fight World War Three.

00:06:10.220 I don't I don't know if we're going to fight World War Three.

00:06:13.660 I hope we don't.

00:06:15.400 But the only thing that kept the world in balance was mutually assured destruction.

00:06:21.160 Now, this does not work in cases like Iran.

00:06:26.540 Mutually assured destruction does not matter to them.

00:06:29.840 Because they are trying to.

00:06:32.560 Now, this is very controversial to say.

00:06:34.780 And I know a lot in the media will disagree with this.

00:06:38.000 But all you have to do is read their words and take people at their word.

00:06:43.120 When they say they're going to kill you, you should take them at their word.

00:06:47.280 It's the reason why in 99 I saw Osama bin Laden as a threat and said that he would blow up buildings and there would be body and blood and buildings in the streets of Manhattan. 0.96

00:06:56.000 Before the next decade, or I said the next 10 years, and it would have Osama bin Laden's name on it. 0.78

00:07:02.700 It was called crazy at the time, but it was not a prediction.

00:07:07.040 It was looking at his words and saying, this is what he says he's going to do.

00:07:12.160 Let's believe him and prepare.

00:07:14.380 Same thing with ISIS and the caliphate.

00:07:23.040 We didn't take them seriously.

00:07:24.600 You have to take Iran seriously. 0.95

00:07:26.960 They believe that if they can cause chaos by shutting down or destroying America and Israel, they will hasten the return of the promised one. 0.99

00:07:39.300 Think of it as, you know, bringing think of it as a group of crazy Christians who are like, you know what? 1.00

00:07:45.780 I'm tired of waiting for the second coming, so I'm just going to make sure that I help cause Armageddon. 0.97

00:07:51.400 That's what the Iranians believe they are compelled to do. 0.99

00:07:59.260 So let's take them seriously.

00:08:01.540 The reason why they won't care about this is because they are cave dwellers.

00:08:06.280 And I don't mean that as literal as it sounds.

00:08:13.180 What I mean is their system is not as advanced as ours.

00:08:18.700 When's the last time you use cash?

00:08:23.320 Think of that.

00:08:24.140 When's the last time you said, I got to go to the bank and get cash.

00:08:27.820 When's the last time you filled up your tank and went inside and gave cash to the guy or to the woman?

00:08:33.980 I'm so sorry for making that awful stereotype.

00:08:36.380 We rely on a system that replenishes our our supermarket shelves 12 times a day.

00:08:49.580 There are deliveries coming to the average supermarket 10 to 12 times a day.

00:08:55.680 You cancel that for three days and our supermarket shelves are empty.

00:09:00.220 You cut our electricity off and we have no cash.

00:09:06.380 You cut our electricity off.

00:09:08.380 You cut our our communications out.

00:09:11.320 We can't communicate with one another.

00:09:13.760 We have no idea what's going on.

00:09:15.860 We can't call 9-1-1.

00:09:19.860 The world falls into chaos.

00:09:21.740 The people who are living, you know, more like the 1970s, even don't have as much to lose.

00:09:29.660 Those in Afghanistan that really have spotty electricity, they don't care at all. 1.00

00:09:39.960 Russia is the probably one of the only ones that we can keep at bay with mutually assured destruction. 1.00

00:09:46.760 China probably doesn't care as much, although it is their cities are so controlled now by electronics.

00:09:56.540 They are probably starting to care more and more.

00:10:00.140 But the mass population of China won't see a difference if the modern world goes away. 0.85

00:10:06.540 Advocates of the more aggressive strategy says it's long overdue, quoting the New York Times,

00:10:10.960 after years of public warnings from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.

00:10:14.760 But it also can carry significant risk of escalating the daily digital Cold War between Washington and Moscow.

00:10:22.960 Guys, we're not starting this.

00:10:26.100 We're not hacking into their elections.

00:10:28.100 They hacked into ours.

00:10:30.380 The administration declined to describe specific actions it was taking under the new authorities.

00:10:34.540 Now listen to this, which were granted separately by the White House and Congress last year to the United States Cyber Command,

00:10:42.620 the arm of the Pentagon that runs the military's offensive and defensive, offensive and defensive operations in the online world.

00:10:51.220 Stu, write this down.

00:10:51.920 We have to do a show on Cyber Command.

00:10:53.460 But in a public appearance Tuesday, President Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton,

00:10:59.000 said the United States was now taking a broader view of potential digital targets as part of an effort to say to Russia or anyone else,

00:11:07.500 quoting, that is engaged in cyber operations against us, you will pay a price, end quote.

00:11:14.040 Power grids have been a low intensity battleground for years.

00:11:17.680 Since 2012, current and former officials say the United States has put reconnaissance probes into the control systems of the Russian electric grid.

00:11:27.320 But now the American strategy has shifted more towards offense, officials say,

00:11:32.880 with the placement of potentially crippling malware inside Russian systems at a depth and with an aggressiveness that has never been tried before.

00:11:41.820 It is intended partly as a warning and partly to be poised as a direct cyber strike if a major conflict broke out between Moscow and Russia.

00:11:53.980 The commander said that it's time to defend forward.

00:11:58.740 They don't fear us, he said to the Senate a year ago during his confirmation hearings,

00:12:03.460 but finding a way to calibrate those responses so they deter attacks without inciting dangerous escalation has been the source of constant debate.

00:12:11.140 Mr. Trump issued new authorities to cyber command last summer in a still classified document known as the National Security Presidential Memorandum 13,

00:12:24.520 giving General Nakasun far more leeway to conduct offensive online operations without receiving presidential approval.

00:12:33.100 So when people said, well, the president probably didn't know about it, could be, could be because he gave this far reaching authority to cyber command last summer.

00:12:46.600 The action inside the Russian electric grid appears to have been conducted under a little known new legal authorities.

00:12:53.100 Listen to the way this is slipped in to the military authorization bill passed by Congress last summer.

00:13:01.020 This is why we don't do those big omnibus.

00:13:05.480 The measure approved the routine conduct of clandestine military activity in cyber state in cyberspace to deter, safeguard or defend against attacks or malicious cyber activities

00:13:18.280 against the United States.

00:13:19.280 Now, I'm wondering if that gives them the authority to do that in country or only out of the country under these laws.

00:13:29.800 These actions can now be authorized by the defense secretary without presidential approval.

00:13:35.120 This is bad.

00:13:36.820 This is really bad.

00:13:38.580 You don't keep giving power to different authorities.

00:13:42.280 I don't know when we're going to get that, but nobody in Washington seems to get it yet.

00:13:49.080 More on this and what it means and what you can do about it coming up in just a second.

00:14:02.820 So I just want to give you a couple of other things.

00:14:05.220 Both Nakasun and Mr. Bolton, through a spokesman, declined to answer questions about the incursions into Russia's grid.

00:14:11.120 Officials of the National Security Council also declined to comment, but said that they had no national security concerns about the details of the New York Times reporting

00:14:20.520 about the targeting of the Russian grid, perhaps an indication that some of the intrusions were intended to be noticed by the Russians.

00:14:28.320 Of course they were.

00:14:30.980 Of course they were.

00:14:32.260 Do you really, do you honestly think that, um, that we are, that we're better off by making sure that the Russians don't know anything? 0.64

00:14:45.820 If so, why did the Russians release the tape of the hyperspeed missile?

00:14:52.200 Happened two weeks ago.

00:14:53.480 If you see it, it's like a bullet coming out of a gun.

00:14:55.820 It is not like a missile coming out of the ground.

00:14:57.820 It's unbelievable.

00:14:58.380 Why did they want the world to see that?

00:15:01.060 They wanted to see what we were, we wanted, they wanted us to see what they were doing as a warning.

00:15:09.620 So some of this stuff is a warning.

00:15:13.600 Now, so far, there's nothing in this article that is surprising.

00:15:17.180 And I wouldn't be surprised if the president trying to keep his negotiation power is, is, uh, is doing two things.

00:15:28.640 One playing the innocent.

00:15:31.380 I didn't know anything about that.

00:15:32.900 I had no idea about that.

00:15:34.400 He signed it.

00:15:35.460 He knows about it, but this gives him, you know, some, some possible credibility when sitting down at the table with Moscow of, I, you know,

00:15:46.180 what Vlad a little out of control there.

00:15:50.080 I'll talk to him.

00:15:51.520 I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that may be what he was doing there.

00:15:56.580 Um, also the president is fighting for his life on an election.

00:16:00.320 And, uh, I'm sure Stu will get into the election results that we have seen now.

00:16:04.720 The polling numbers, not too good for the president and he's got to win.

00:16:09.160 And he knows that the, uh, the press is doing everything they can to destroy him.

00:16:16.380 Personally, I think that this is good.

00:16:19.360 If I were the president, I would have come out and said, you know what? 0.95

00:16:22.520 Damn right. 0.98

00:16:23.520 Damn right. 0.98

00:16:23.980 We're doing that. 0.96

00:16:24.760 These guys meddled in our elections, but the press has already set a trap up for him on that.

00:16:29.780 Uh, they meddled with our elections.

00:16:31.440 They've already said we're in world war three.

00:16:33.940 We don't want to be in world war three, but we will be prepared.

00:16:36.800 And we know that they have already done these things to us.

00:16:40.980 And so, yes, our cyber command is up and running.

00:16:45.320 And I feel pretty good about that.

00:16:46.760 And Americans should sleep well because we are protecting this country.

00:16:51.380 We're doing everything we can.

00:16:53.580 And the one thing I have control over is cyberspace.

00:16:56.720 And so we are, we are, uh, working to protect this country.

00:17:01.000 Now I'd like to get to work and protect this country from our Southern border.

00:17:04.800 And what's happening there.

00:17:05.860 There's disease that is starting to run out of control.

00:17:09.160 We could fix this quickly, get the Democrats to sit down at the table.

00:17:14.860 I think that would have been a good way for him to, uh, to handle this.

00:17:18.680 Now, with this being said, I want to couple this with what we have learned from the last couple of weeks.

00:17:27.120 Here we have, uh, a known enemy that is trying to cripple us.

00:17:34.340 They, we know that if world war three, God forbid ever does breakout, we know that the life that we currently live will be disrupted, may not be over, but it will be disrupted.

00:17:48.840 We hope that our people can disrupt them faster than they can disrupt us and get us back onto our feet. 0.89

00:17:56.160 But we know that this, uh, is, is coming, if not in our lifetime, our children's lifetime, and it's going to be a big burden.

00:18:06.800 Everything we have, everything we have, everything we have, everything we have, is digital.

00:18:13.180 Now, that's not the only threat to everything we have.

00:18:16.900 The other threat is political.

00:18:20.680 The other threat is also digital, but it is political.

00:18:26.360 Look how fast we could all be erased.

00:18:30.600 Look how fast history could be erased, because almost everything now is online.

00:18:37.180 How many actually read a book?

00:18:39.500 And by the way, any book that was written after, uh, anywhere between 1880 and 1920,

00:18:47.040 the paper was changed, and it will eventually turn to dust.

00:18:53.540 Old, old books prior to 1880, they don't have this problem.

00:18:58.160 But our history literally can be erased and eventually will go to dust.

00:19:05.720 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:17.040 Hi, it's Glenn.

00:19:20.000 If you're a subscriber to the podcast, can you do us a favor and rate us on iTunes?

00:19:24.540 If you're not a subscriber, become one today and listen on your own time.

00:19:28.620 You can subscribe on iTunes.

00:19:30.220 Thanks.

00:19:32.920 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:19:34.340 Glad you're here.

00:19:35.020 It is Monday.

00:19:36.460 Uh, there was some breaking news about the poll numbers this weekend that don't look good for the president.

00:19:41.760 And the president fired his pollsters, um, and again, it doesn't look good.

00:19:47.020 But the good thing is, is we have one of, I believe, the leading guys on polls.

00:19:54.340 His name is Stu Breguier.

00:19:56.800 And he, he lives polls.

00:20:00.160 He eats, drinks, statistics.

00:20:03.120 He loves it.

00:20:04.340 And he has been historically very, very accurate in the way he reads polls and the, and the, uh, the polls that we should pay attention to and not pay attention to.

00:20:15.860 So I wanted to get his read on what is really happening with the polls.

00:20:20.640 And is the president in as much trouble as the press would have you believe?

00:20:25.620 We do that in one minute.

00:20:27.720 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:34.340 So I want to bring Stu right into the Glenn Beck Program.

00:20:41.760 And, uh, I don't want to really get into the politics, unless you think they're important, Stu, about the Trump firing of the pollsters.

00:20:48.640 Um, uh, because politics is politics.

00:20:51.340 I really want to stick to the facts.

00:20:53.040 How bad are the polls for President Trump at this point?

00:20:58.000 They show him really trailing everybody, including Elizabeth Warren.

00:21:04.160 Are we to believe these polls?

00:21:05.880 I mean, no.

00:21:07.040 I would say right now you have to put a, they're legitimate internal polls.

00:21:11.220 And there's some external ones.

00:21:12.140 The ones you're talking about with Elizabeth Warren and stuff are largely external.

00:21:15.740 There's a lot that show him losing.

00:21:17.200 But it's, A, it's way too early to take anything serious out of these polls.

00:21:20.880 I mean, it's important for the campaign to understand where they, where they are, uh, and kind of be able to plan for the future.

00:21:29.620 You know, he's, he hasn't even officially really started running for president yet.

00:21:34.000 He's not tested any of his new messaging.

00:21:36.200 He's done none of these things.

00:21:37.400 I think kind of one of the important things you're seeing in the media is people basically saying Donald Trump is firing his pollsters because they showed him losing as if like he's, you know, he, if they were winning, he would have loved it.

00:21:50.980 Right.

00:21:51.140 Exactly.

00:21:51.720 And that's not what this was.

00:21:52.840 Look, you know, they were internal polls.

00:21:55.060 We shouldn't know about them.

00:21:56.360 Right.

00:21:56.600 They're supposed to be hidden.

00:21:57.860 Yes.

00:21:58.040 He was losing a lot of these states in these internal polls.

00:22:00.360 Initially, Trump kind of said, and those polls don't exist.

00:22:02.740 Then his campaign confirmed that they do, but they were from March.

00:22:06.000 So they're outdated already anyway.

00:22:08.100 But beyond that, like the issue here is that they shouldn't be out in the public.

00:22:12.620 They're supposed to be things used for internal, internal use.

00:22:16.320 Right.

00:22:16.860 So the reason why these people are getting fired is because they believe the links, the leaks came from these pollsters.

00:22:22.440 They believe these people went out there, took these polls, realized that the Trump administration was never going to let them out and decided to leak them out.

00:22:30.980 That's a huge problem.

00:22:32.200 If that's true, you, you, you have to be able to trust your team.

00:22:36.560 And so now there's another theory out there.

00:22:39.420 He really can't trust anybody.

00:22:41.260 I mean, I feel bad for the president in some ways.

00:22:43.580 He cannot trust a single person.

00:22:46.120 No, I mean, that was interesting in that with Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving, that was one of the people, you know, she hasn't been doing a lot of press conferences. 0.76

00:22:54.240 However, she's become a pretty central advisor to him and one of the few people that he believed he could trust.

00:23:00.660 I mean, Bill O'Reilly, as you pointed out, said nobody.

00:23:03.120 He can trust nobody.

00:23:04.000 He trusts literally zero people, maybe outside of, certainly outside of family.

00:23:08.860 Maybe some of his family he trusts, but that's about it.

00:23:11.520 But the issue here with these polls is that this is not, you know, there are some things you can learn from polls this early.

00:23:17.360 You can usually find indications as to what's possible.

00:23:20.700 But we know in 18 months, anything can happen here.

00:23:23.400 There's no reason to panic from these numbers at this point.

00:23:26.900 I think he could win.

00:23:28.000 I think it's not hyperbole.

00:23:30.300 You know better than I do on this stuff.

00:23:31.960 And I'm always wrong when it comes to politics and predictions.

00:23:34.660 But I think it's so open, he could win by a landslide.

00:23:40.000 I mean, a Reagan-style landslide.

00:23:41.640 He could lose by a landslide.

00:23:44.100 It's that open.

00:23:45.260 I think all those things are certainly in play.

00:23:47.440 I mean, you go back to, you know, George H.W. Bush at this time was an incredibly popular president and wound up losing his re-election.

00:23:54.820 We've seen, you know, Clinton did not look good at this time in, you know, in 1992 and came back, or 1996 and came back and won.

00:24:02.840 So these things change all the time.

00:24:04.540 It's way too far out.

00:24:05.340 I mean, the one thing I think you can look at with some interest at this point when it comes to polling is more on the Democratic side.

00:24:12.980 It's interesting to see, number one, who performs best against the president.

00:24:17.940 Like, a lot of these polls will show every one of these people beating the president.

00:24:21.140 I think we all know that that's not, I mean, that's not reality.

00:24:24.700 But it is interesting, I think.

00:24:26.160 The minute he stages, the minute he steps on his stage with Elizabeth Warren, she's done.

00:24:30.400 The Elizabeth Warren thing is fascinating because it's as if the Democrats learned nothing.

00:24:35.040 It's like, take Hillary Clinton and then pop with, you know, give her, fill her with, like, really leftist policies.

00:24:41.960 So you'll not only lose her because of the style and her incompetence on the campaign, but you'll also lose a lot of people in the middle because they think she's too much of a socialist. 0.63

00:24:50.440 Where, you know, Hillary at least tried to hide that. 1.00

00:24:52.680 Elizabeth Warren loves it.

00:24:54.480 So you take that, it's like, I can't believe they're falling for that one again.

00:24:57.500 If they put Elizabeth Warren.

00:24:58.800 I saw the numbers of Elizabeth Warren beating Trump and I thought to myself, oh, please, Democrats, please, please run.

00:25:06.440 She is specifically designed in a factory to lose to Donald Trump, right? 0.99

00:25:10.080 Oh, yeah.

00:25:10.380 If she can beat Donald Trump, literally any Democrat can beat Donald Trump right now, which is, you know, who knows?

00:25:16.380 Who knows how this country goes?

00:25:17.500 We have no idea.

00:25:18.160 But if you look at that and you say, which candidate is performing best against a Donald Trump and you see Joe Biden is usually number one in all these recent polls that have come out publicly, he's beating Trump by the most.

00:25:33.860 And you see people who are still have large amounts of the Democrats and America, especially who have no idea who they are.

00:25:40.440 I mean, people don't have no idea who Pete Buttigieg is yet.

00:25:43.540 I mean, can he can he compete?

00:25:45.020 I mean, he in one of these polls, he's shown beating Donald Trump, too, although it's closer.

00:25:49.380 But a lot of this has to do with, you know, the American people have no idea who these people even are yet.

00:25:53.160 We're about to have these first debates.

00:25:55.060 Once you get through the first and second round of these debates, you'll start to get a little bit of an idea where this race is.

00:26:00.140 But as of right now, even Biden's lead, which looks insurmountable to a lot of people, is absolutely a real possibility of disintegrating.

00:26:10.560 So way too early to tell.

00:26:11.940 And I think the media's take on this, which is just trying to say, oh, Donald Trump is is shallow and he doesn't want to see people losing.

00:26:17.480 So he's firing himself.

00:26:18.480 Look, these polls leaked not once, but twice.

00:26:20.780 That's that's completely unacceptable from your team.

00:26:23.280 It's this early.

00:26:24.300 Why not switch him out?

00:26:25.780 That's a completely rational thing to do.

00:26:27.460 So I saw a clip earlier today on the blaze of Ocasio-Cortez, and she was on, I don't know, meet the press or something.

00:26:36.200 And she was just horrible.

00:26:38.220 She was just horrible on it.

00:26:40.240 And I thought, you know, she she doesn't work in the old style media. 1.00

00:26:45.720 She just doesn't work. 0.99

00:26:46.620 She's she's never good at it.

00:26:50.000 And if that's all she had, she'd be nowhere.

00:26:54.120 However, she is a new generation that is really, really good online.

00:27:01.520 Donald Trump is not your typical politician.

00:27:05.000 And for anybody, including me, who said the guy's not going to win, the guy won't be able to win.

00:27:11.120 It's because we were putting him into the mold of of what America really wanted before.

00:27:19.420 Well, he's not that guy.

00:27:21.740 He's he's not a typical politician where I think Joe Biden is.

00:27:26.660 And Joe Biden's strength will be in the upper end of the Democratic Party.

00:27:31.080 They'll look for that traditional guy who is just rock solid, steady, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:27:37.340 Even though he's not, they'll believe he's he looks presidential.

00:27:41.260 America is not looking for that anymore.

00:27:43.300 It's just not.

00:27:45.640 Otherwise, Donald Donald Trump would not be president.

00:27:49.140 They are looking for somebody who who who really understands what we're facing today, or at least represents that.

00:27:56.580 I will tell you, if I were if I were if I were king of the political media and I was on Donald Trump's side, I would be saying to Donald Trump and his allies, all of the people who are the 501 C3s, all of the people who are working for the president's reelection but are not connected to him. 0.90

00:28:17.980 They should really just concentrate on what the hell has happened to America. 0.83

00:28:23.960 They should be doing all of the stuff about, you know, gay bathroom. 1.00

00:28:28.760 Are we not gay bathrooms trans transitional bathrooms? 0.56

00:28:31.980 All the things that have made people uncomfortable, the silencing of voices, the crazy political correctness that's going on. 0.97

00:28:40.720 I would concentrate on the left and how crazy it has become and and and show the future using their own words behind the scenes and show this is not who you are.

00:28:56.720 This is this is what you want.

00:28:58.780 And then Ronald then Donald Trump should be doing what Ronald Reagan did.

00:29:03.320 And that is it's morning in America.

00:29:05.360 It's a new day in America.

00:29:07.360 But remember, I'm the first guy.

00:29:10.400 I'm the first guy that had a a homosexual on the Republican stand talking and speaking out about this. 1.00

00:29:20.540 I don't have a problem with homosexuality.

00:29:22.900 I don't have a problem with gay marriage.

00:29:24.560 It's up to you.

00:29:26.040 And there is a reasonable path.

00:29:28.820 But even that wasn't reasonable enough because that's not where we're headed.

00:29:33.280 And him just doing a very positive morning in America show who we really can be not in the past show who we can be, that our future is right here.

00:29:48.300 All we have to do is grab onto it.

00:29:51.140 And I think that would be effective because you have to remind people that things have gone crazy.

00:29:58.360 Things have really gone crazy and that there is somebody out there and it should be his vision of of a positive American future.

00:30:11.080 And I think that would win.

00:30:13.340 Now, whether he does that or not, I have I have no idea.

00:30:16.880 I know he will go after the press and the press will go after him.

00:30:20.580 And maybe that's winning strategy this time around as well.

00:30:23.620 I don't know.

00:30:25.660 But anything can happen in this.

00:30:28.000 We go back to Stu here on more on this in just a second.

00:30:39.700 So, Stu, how right or wrong were the polls last time?

00:30:46.340 Because nobody thought that Donald Trump was going to win.

00:30:49.140 No.

00:30:49.440 I mean, you know, just not pay attention to those polls or were they wrong?

00:30:52.660 I think there's a little bit of both in there.

00:30:55.680 And that one of the big lessons that everyone took from 2016 is never look at another poll again because they're always wrong.

00:31:00.980 And in reality, that's not fair at all.

00:31:03.220 The national polls predicted the results.

00:31:07.260 I think they missed by about a little over 1.1 or 1.2 points.

00:31:12.260 That is that doesn't sound right because we obviously know the result wasn't right.

00:31:17.300 But remember, polls don't look at the Electoral College.

00:31:20.180 Polls look at the national popular vote, which they predicted pretty accurately, honestly.

00:31:24.360 There are a few state polls that were wrong and was enough to throw the election to Donald Trump.

00:31:31.320 And, you know, that's the Electoral College.

00:31:33.220 Because of the Electoral College.

00:31:33.520 And obviously very important.

00:31:35.220 But the poll results overall for 2016 were actually really solid when it comes to the nationwide one.

00:31:43.080 And honestly, the bigger lesson to learn, and this is a lesson that I certainly learned in the primary, was in the primary, like, remember, Donald Trump led all the polls.

00:31:52.680 People forget because at the very end, everyone thought Hillary Clinton was going to win and Donald Trump won.

00:31:57.120 Well, remember, the polls also existed for the primary.

00:31:59.880 And the primary said over and over again for months, despite all the fundamentals, despite all the things that said the opposite, that Donald Trump should win the primary and is leading the primary.

00:32:10.500 And he did.

00:32:11.100 And he did. 0.99

00:32:11.820 So in reality, like, looking at these polls and completely dismissing them is probably a little bit foolish.

00:32:20.560 However, again, a lot can change in a presidential election.

00:32:24.140 And, you know, remember, it was only a few weeks before the election happened when you have, you know, the Access Hollywood tape coming out and polls are swinging towards Hillary Clinton with these large margins.

00:32:34.540 And he was able to whittle away at that and come all the way back to almost even in the popular vote right towards the end.

00:32:41.860 He hasn't started any, you know, messaging here.

00:32:45.120 The idea that because here's some of the results.

00:32:47.120 He's down by 17 in Virginia state.

00:32:48.860 He's probably not going to win anyway.

00:32:49.880 He's down by 15 in Maine, 14 in Minnesota.

00:32:53.300 He almost won Minnesota in 2016.

00:32:55.900 Michigan, he's down by 13 in these internal polls.

00:32:58.940 Again, they're from March.

00:33:00.140 Even the pollster who took them says at this point they're misleading.

00:33:02.820 He's losing to Biden in North Carolina by eight.

00:33:06.420 He's losing in Iowa by seven, in Ohio by one.

00:33:10.580 And, you know, these results are not good.

00:33:12.980 And obviously he would get destroyed if these were real.

00:33:15.420 But they're not real.

00:33:16.480 And that is really important.

00:33:17.600 And also, it is also the unnamed Democrat.

00:33:21.560 It's Biden, actually.

00:33:22.500 In this particular one, it's Biden.

00:33:24.180 Though Biden, I think, stands in for the unnamed Democrat in a lot of ways.

00:33:28.020 Because he's kind of the guy.

00:33:29.420 He hasn't really campaigned yet.

00:33:31.520 He's a guy that people know.

00:33:32.900 But they know him largely for him being vice president.

00:33:35.620 Which, as we all know, in most cases is just a role.

00:33:40.100 It's the backup quarterback role, right?

00:33:41.980 People kind of predict, well, if this person came in, he'd be great.

00:33:44.920 But you never actually see him doing anything if you're a Democrat.

00:33:47.300 You've never seen him actually enacting these policies.

00:33:49.500 And when he's tried to come out and propose things, he's really had a lot of trouble so far.

00:33:54.860 I mean, the Hyde Amendment is the big one where he reversed himself a multi-decade stance against public funding for abortion.

00:34:01.800 And he's come out and now reversed that stance a few times over the past few weeks.

00:34:08.760 And that's a stance that is actually largely popular among the American people.

00:34:13.180 Even people who are pro-choice, generally speaking, can get behind the idea,

00:34:18.000 all right, let's not put, we know it's controversial.

00:34:19.780 Let's not put public funding behind it.

00:34:21.440 It's only a slight majority of Democratic voters who support overturning the Hyde Amendment.

00:34:27.440 So, I mean, it's one of those issues that if he's wavering on something, that's a simple one to be quote-unquote centrist about.

00:34:35.180 And he's already waiving on those.

00:34:37.620 I mean, what this campaign could do to him over a long period of time, he may look just as socialist as any of the others.

00:34:42.360 So, I just, and maybe it's just me, I just think that when America, if the campaign is run right,

00:34:50.220 when America says, all right, I've got the chaos of the Trump administration, you never know how to predict it, you know.

00:34:59.040 And I'm tired of the fighting back and forth.

00:35:01.700 However, when I look at who he's fighting against, he's fighting against the press,

00:35:06.620 and most Americans don't trust the press.

00:35:08.940 So, he's right on that one.

00:35:11.280 And he's also, if they run things properly, when you look at things like abortion,

00:35:18.340 and you look at really pretty much everything, he's in step with the American people.

00:35:27.040 They are wildly out of step.

00:35:30.180 And when it comes down to it, they may say right now, you know what, I don't like all the chaos.

00:35:35.640 I don't like all the bickering back and forth.

00:35:37.180 But when it comes down to it, if the economy is doing well, he will, they will look and say, you know what, I got a job.

00:35:46.220 Things are going pretty well.

00:35:49.200 I think this is stable.

00:35:52.660 I don't like these things.

00:35:55.160 And, you know, there's a chance that they do enact those things.

00:35:58.260 I'm just going to go with this one.

00:35:59.540 Let's not change horses.

00:36:00.760 As long as the economy.

00:36:03.240 Yeah, huge risk for Democrats in nominating someone like Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders, especially,

00:36:09.500 who's outwardly telling you they want to change the fabric of our society, right?

00:36:14.360 At least Biden's attempting to hide that.

00:36:18.200 And if you have someone who says, basically, OK, here's a stable guy.

00:36:21.420 We already saw Biden in there.

00:36:23.140 Again, this is not my analysis.

00:36:24.780 I'm saying a Democratic voter or a centrist voter even who says, I don't like the chaos of Trump.

00:36:29.840 Biden, he was around.

00:36:31.200 I remember that.

00:36:31.880 You start remembering these things more fondly than they were.

00:36:34.060 There's plenty of chaos in the Obama administration, but people will forget a lot of that.

00:36:37.960 And they'll say, all right, well, he's not going to be a revolutionary.

00:36:41.000 You don't get that from Elizabeth Warren.

00:36:42.260 You don't get that from Bernie Sanders.

00:36:44.100 I don't think you're going to get that from Kamala Harris or many of these others.

00:36:47.260 And at that point, you're saying, well, I have something good.

00:36:49.780 Am I going to flush it completely down the toilet and try something different?

00:36:53.820 Or am I going to stick with what's going on right now, which has aspects I don't like,

00:36:58.660 but the economy's good.

00:36:59.860 There's a lot of good things.

00:37:00.960 I think he's got a good case there.

00:37:06.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:12.260 You know, we were, uh, it's really funny.

00:37:19.900 We were, uh, we were talking at one point that they would just come out and then they

00:37:24.460 would just say what they were really trying to do, that the radicals, the progressives

00:37:29.460 would start to say, look, I'm a democratic socialist.

00:37:32.020 Okay.

00:37:32.340 That's what I am.

00:37:33.320 And this system doesn't work.

00:37:34.720 And, uh, people thought I was crazy when I said that I'm going to play some audio that

00:37:39.320 just happened this weekend.

00:37:40.140 That's a little stunning, a little stunning.

00:37:44.120 We'll give you that in one minute.

00:37:46.780 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:37:49.040 So Stu, can you take us through the audio, the audio that we just heard, uh, if you were

00:38:06.860 listening, uh, on the blaze TV or watching or listening on the blaze TV, uh, it's pretty

00:38:12.660 stunning audio of people just taking their masks off.

00:38:16.000 Yeah, you talked about this for a very long time and we've seen it in different levels,

00:38:20.500 even up to the presidential election.

00:38:21.920 Now we have, uh, democratic socialists obviously saying they're going to run.

00:38:25.140 We have it all over Congress.

00:38:26.920 We also maybe have the most explicit example in the Denver city city council.

00:38:32.240 Now, one of the things you hear from democratic socialists is all we want is Norway.

00:38:36.960 All we want is Sweden.

00:38:38.580 This is, this is all we want.

00:38:40.580 Uh, well, that's, that's, that's absolutely not true.

00:38:43.600 Sweden, Norway, those are, those are, uh, free market systems.

00:38:48.280 Those are capitalist nations with a very large safety net.

00:38:52.520 So it's easy for somebody to say, look, I, I, I want Sweden.

00:38:56.680 We just are going to have to have higher taxes.

00:38:58.840 We still keep the free market the way it is.

00:39:01.340 In fact, we should reduce some of the regulation because Sweden and Norway are way ahead of us

00:39:06.560 on, on less regulation.

00:39:07.960 So businesses can make more money, but people make more money.

00:39:12.300 And that's, we get the taxes and we take that money and we have a big safety net.

00:39:18.180 That's the message of Norway and Denmark, not what democratic socialists are saying.

00:39:23.300 Yeah.

00:39:23.340 And we should point out, obviously there's major, there's major issues with that.

00:39:26.380 I mean, you know, it's easy to do a Norway and a Denmark when you have a United States

00:39:30.180 doing all the innovations for you, right?

00:39:31.980 Like it's easy to be able to live off essentially the work of other countries, uh, who have a freer

00:39:36.460 market.

00:39:37.020 And then of course there's other, there's other more, you know, day to day pragmatic

00:39:40.800 things.

00:39:41.200 Like for example, you know, the, the average new home in the United States is 2,600 square

00:39:45.800 feet.

00:39:46.140 The average residence in Norway is something like 780.

00:39:49.380 So, I mean, if you, well, I think the, I think the biggest thing is, and this is even

00:39:52.640 too big of a state, but, um, you could do this in, let's say Manhattan, or you could do

00:39:58.040 this in California if it was a country and they had to live within their own means and they

00:40:04.200 had to live with the consequences of what they wanted to do without dragging the rest

00:40:09.360 of the country in with them.

00:40:10.540 This is a very large country, huge population, very diverse.

00:40:16.520 Not everybody wants to go that way.

00:40:18.560 So if you wanted to do it in California, do it in California, but we cut all ties to you

00:40:23.020 financially, meaning we're not going to bail you out.

00:40:26.660 You have to do what Norway is doing. 0.86

00:40:28.800 They have to live within their own means or go out of business.

00:40:33.380 Right.

00:40:33.980 So there's a lot of trade-offs there.

00:40:35.740 However, most of them, most of the people who say they're democratic socialists, uh,

00:40:40.440 when you're talking about people who are philosophically advocating that viewpoint of

00:40:44.020 we, as we've seen from, uh, Jacobin and, uh, you know, the piece we've talked about

00:40:49.000 several times in Fox where they talk about that basically what we're looking to do is

00:40:52.300 overthrow capitalism.

00:40:53.060 It's not just Medicare for all.

00:40:54.540 It's not, it's not just the green new deal.

00:40:56.080 We want to overthrow it because we think it's bad.

00:40:58.340 They'll eventually admit it if you, if you kind of actually go after them.

00:41:02.060 Well, uh, in the Denver city council, uh, candy, the Kabaka, I believe is her name. 0.99

00:41:08.920 She talks about capitalism and wants to make sure that everyone understands what she really

00:41:13.860 wants.

00:41:14.340 And this is not just this little view vision of Norway that we've, we've been sold.

00:41:18.560 This is full government ownership, ownership by the state of the means of production.

00:41:24.480 Listen to her outline it.

00:41:26.520 What experience do you have on shaping the economy of the city and not turning Denver into a true

00:41:31.260 welfare state where there's limited potential for personal wealth and savings?

00:41:37.100 Well, I guess we'll just address the elephant in the room.

00:41:40.600 I don't believe that our current economic system actually works.

00:41:44.380 Um, capitalism by design is extractive.

00:41:47.380 And in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, something has to be exploited.

00:41:52.980 That's land labor or resources. 1.00

00:41:55.120 And I think that we're in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn't work and we've got to

00:42:00.560 move into something new.

00:42:01.780 And I believe in community ownership of land labor resources and distribution of those resources.

00:42:07.780 And so whatever that morphs into, I think is what will serve community the best.

00:42:13.200 And I'm excited to usher it in by any means necessary.

00:42:17.680 By, I love that.

00:42:18.420 By any means necessary.

00:42:20.260 Any means necessary.

00:42:20.980 And by the way, what it's morphed into, in case you, uh, she says whatever it morphs into.

00:42:25.140 So far it's a hundred million dead.

00:42:26.740 Uh, so that's, that morphing was kind of problematic for me, uh, morphed into, you know, a lot of

00:42:32.520 people losing their lives in every single, uh, instance it's been attempted.

00:42:37.680 Uh, so I, I do not want to try it.

00:42:39.680 I do not think capitalism has failed.

00:42:41.380 And we've talked about these numbers so many times.

00:42:43.040 I mean, we've billions of people ripped out of poverty by this system since, you know,

00:42:48.180 we've been alive.

00:42:48.980 This is not going back to the night.

00:42:51.020 I mean, you can go back to the 1800s and sure, it looks great.

00:42:53.860 Go back to the 1990s, billions of people extracted from poverty because of this system.

00:42:59.660 She wants to close.

00:43:01.100 It's not a good look.

00:43:02.240 It's not a good look.

00:43:02.980 And it was, uh, you know, and I will say the people of Denver knew that.

00:43:05.480 And that's why, of course, she actually successfully won election after, after those statements.

00:43:11.380 That's unbelievable.

00:43:13.040 That's absolutely unbelievable.

00:43:16.100 The people, you know, it used to be said that the people who had the most to lose did the least to save it.

00:43:23.100 It is now those with the most to lose are doing the most to lose it.

00:43:29.920 I mean, our, our, our nation is, is, is filled with people who are either in denial.

00:43:37.400 That'll never happen.

00:43:38.620 Or they are, uh, or they're actively involved in it.

00:43:44.820 I mean, these, these, they're, they're telling you what they want to do.

00:43:49.320 And, and I guess part of it is we haven't learned about nobody.

00:43:54.220 Young has learned about the Soviet union has learned about the socialist experiments.

00:43:59.000 These are all experiments.

00:44:00.720 In fact, the first socialist experiment, I can't say the first, cause the first was really the pilgrims.

00:44:07.060 No, it was really Jamestown perhaps.

00:44:09.380 And then the pilgrims, they all tried socialist, you know, it wasn't called socialism then, but they all tried this way.

00:44:15.900 You know, we'll all decide and we'll all just put our money in a big heap and it doesn't work.

00:44:20.360 Um, the, the, uh, a really big experiment happened in Texas, believe it or not.

00:44:27.200 And if you ever look at the, uh, skyline of Texas, just Google it real quick and you'll see a big ball around ball and it's lit up at night and it's the reunion tower.

00:44:39.080 Nobody knows what the reunion tower is.

00:44:41.240 What is reunion?

00:44:42.100 Well, reunion used to be a suburb of Dallas and it was a reunion, Texas.

00:44:47.840 Dallas, it's now part of Dallas and it was the big first real socialist experiment, uh, in Texas where they tried this.

00:44:58.160 They tried this in the late 1800s.

00:45:00.880 In fact, one of the biggest minds of the socialist movement from France came over.

00:45:06.360 They were the movers and shakers and they tried it and it ended the way it always ends.

00:45:12.700 Um, you were kicked out as soon as you got sick, you were kicked out as soon as you got old.

00:45:17.840 Uh, you were not allowed to stay there and it, it all fell apart.

00:45:23.600 Now the modern socialist movement doesn't kick you out of the community. 0.94

00:45:28.060 They just kill you.

00:45:30.580 Uh, and so it, it, it completely failed and every socialist experiment ends the same way.

00:45:38.800 And what are we doing?

00:45:41.400 We were going to try a socialist experiment in America and in the West.

00:45:47.700 It will, it will end exactly the same way.

00:45:52.240 And it's amazing to me that people have not been taught the difference between the free market and what we're doing now, which is crony capitalism.

00:46:03.980 Crony capitalism.

00:46:05.060 The reason why this is failing in many ways is because of many of the things that the socialists are doing in companies like Google and Facebook.

00:46:16.400 What are they doing?

00:46:17.920 They're controlling everything.

00:46:19.940 They're controlling the way it works.

00:46:22.360 They're in bed with the government.

00:46:24.320 If not the government here, but the government in China.

00:46:27.340 Look at Amazon.

00:46:28.520 Look at Google.

00:46:29.200 They're writing all of the laws.

00:46:33.760 So the things that we hate about capitalism, crony capitalism, that these companies just get bigger and bigger and they don't have to abide by the laws that you have to abide to.

00:46:43.160 Why is it that that Google and Facebook are having a problem right now?

00:46:48.960 They're having a problem because they they don't have to pick between a publisher being a publisher where they edit and they're responsible and you can sue them or a platform, which is just an open platform and everyone can say whatever they want on it.

00:47:03.800 Well, they don't want that they want both.

00:47:06.860 They want to have a platform that they can edit if they choose, but not get sued if they don't choose the right ones or don't catch something because they're a platform, but have all the the benefits of being a publisher as well in control speech.

00:47:22.600 Why, why, why are we having a problem because it's in bed with the government?

00:47:27.740 Why are we having a problem with so many things?

00:47:30.140 Why do this?

00:47:31.240 Why do the why does the left hate corporations?

00:47:35.360 They hate corporations because they know they get big bloated and then they control everything because of the government.

00:47:43.280 They get involved with the government.

00:47:44.840 That's crony capitalism, and that's exactly what they eventually do.

00:47:51.620 Do you really think that the people in Venezuela really had a say?

00:47:57.320 Do you think the people in the former Soviet Union really had a say on how to make things?

00:48:03.920 Watch Chernobyl. 0.75

00:48:05.920 The little people didn't have anything to say. 0.99

00:48:08.260 Everybody was too afraid to say anything.

00:48:11.220 Well, that won't happen here.

00:48:12.640 Really?

00:48:12.920 Is no one afraid to say anything right now is no one afraid of saying the wrong thing and being politically squashed?

00:48:19.620 How do you not see that this is exactly where we're headed?

00:48:25.400 They're doing all of the things that they they say they hate.

00:48:29.240 Therefore, freedom.

00:48:30.780 Therefore, everybody having their fair shot.

00:48:33.140 While they're in bed with people like Google and Facebook, who will do nothing but enforce whatever it is they believe by any means necessary.

00:48:44.640 That last line, she said, should not be taken lightly by any means necessary.

00:48:53.180 True revolutionaries.

00:48:54.760 No, you got to break a lot of eggs to make an omelet.

00:48:57.480 You just listen to George Soros in his own words on 60 Minutes when he said, look, so a lot of people, you know, they hurt, but you know, it's kind of fun doing this.

00:49:09.380 You're destroying people and you're destroying people and you don't care because it's not about the individual.

00:49:15.940 It's for the greater good and there is no greater good without the individual.

00:49:22.480 It becomes a it becomes a greater nightmare.

00:49:24.980 And that's what our founders knew.

00:49:28.900 And somehow or another.

00:49:31.120 Well, we did not somehow or another.

00:49:32.860 We know how it happened.

00:49:34.720 They have made sure that our children are not educated in this and that our values and our principles are being sidelined and being silenced and discredited every step of the way.

00:49:47.040 And we need to draw a line in the sand and say, no more, not a not an inch further and preserve those things in our own life, in our own homes and make sure that we know how this story usually ends.

00:50:02.560 And we write ourselves into the story.

00:50:05.680 Who will we be?

00:50:07.400 Who will we be?

00:50:08.920 Who will our children be when they say any means necessary?

00:50:14.320 Who will we be?

00:50:17.040 How was your father's day, Stu?

00:50:24.820 Pretty good.

00:50:25.380 How about you?

00:50:26.780 Yeah, good.

00:50:27.260 What did you do?

00:50:27.980 I had a father-son basketball camp this weekend, which was five hours on Friday night and then six hours on Saturday.

00:50:40.900 And I'm not in shape.

00:50:42.680 This is how I would summarize the weekend.

00:50:44.340 I am in pain as if I conquered Everest several times.

00:50:52.800 And instead, what I did was, I think, run a few drills and the drills that used to be easy and they no longer come that way.

00:51:01.520 So I'm in pain.

00:51:03.060 I'm in severe pain.

00:51:04.040 Yeah.

00:51:04.320 That's how I would describe my weekend.

00:51:05.640 Yeah.

00:51:06.080 Yeah.

00:51:06.660 Yeah.

00:51:07.340 I kind of similar.

00:51:08.640 Kind of similar.

00:51:09.420 We're building fences and things like that.

00:51:11.780 And I realized I can't really do much, really, of anything.

00:51:15.540 Destroying an old fence, taking an old fence down with a sledgehammer.

00:51:19.880 We have two of the guys who are up here helping us with it.

00:51:23.200 And, you know, they're old, you know, special forces kind of guys.

00:51:26.100 And watching them take the sledgehammer, I'm thinking, nope, not a chance.

00:51:32.680 I'm not even a man anymore.

00:51:34.680 Right.

00:51:34.840 I'm not even a man.

00:51:36.580 Physical labor is one of those things that we, it's nice to look back on.

00:51:41.400 But I don't want to go back there if I can avoid it.

00:51:44.960 Yeah.

00:51:45.400 It's actually, it's weird because I want to do it.

00:51:49.380 I don't want to do it full time.

00:51:50.760 I don't want to do it full time.

00:51:51.700 No.

00:51:51.820 Don't get me wrong.

00:51:52.820 I was, because we have a couple of heavy machinery here that I've just been drinking like crazy

00:51:59.140 and then operating.

00:52:00.700 But we have a couple of pieces of heavy machinery.

00:52:03.280 And even in that, you know, it's a hard job.

00:52:08.400 It's a really hard job.

00:52:10.120 And I was thinking to myself, I could do this.

00:52:11.880 And then I thought, no, I really couldn't.

00:52:13.420 I couldn't do this my whole life.

00:52:14.500 No way.

00:52:15.540 I love when the politicians come out and they're like, well, look, I just, we need to get these

00:52:18.920 manufacturing jobs back.

00:52:20.660 And none of these people had manufacturing jobs.

00:52:23.940 Like, manufacturing jobs are great.

00:52:26.300 And they, you know, they are obviously a central part of our economy.

00:52:29.520 But very few of the people advocating for them have actually done them.

00:52:32.580 Like, they're hard.

00:52:33.800 You're in pain afterwards.

00:52:35.480 You know, they talk about this replacement of truck drivers, right?

00:52:41.040 With all these automated vehicles.

00:52:43.640 And what they're finding is when these automations come, and not all of them, obviously, this

00:52:48.560 is just very beginning of the circle.

00:52:50.060 But what they think is going to happen is a lot of these truck drivers who will go on,

00:52:53.600 especially ones who are maybe old enough and not, you know, to look, be able to train

00:52:57.360 for another gig, are going to retire, look around for a while, and eventually go on disability.

00:53:02.280 Because almost all of them have ailments that could qualify you for disability.

00:53:06.600 Because they all have had to drive around, and they have back problems, and they have

00:53:10.320 all sorts of physical issues that absolutely qualify them.

00:53:13.400 Because it's hard freaking work.

00:53:15.100 We want to save these coal mining jobs. 1.00

00:53:18.340 Actually, I think everybody who is in a coal mining job would say, hey, or replace it with

00:53:23.060 something I can do.

00:53:24.740 I'm up for that.

00:53:25.940 I mean, you look at these coal miners, no thank you, no thank you. 1.00

00:53:31.540 But, you know, it's a little ridiculous for us.

00:53:35.940 I just realized, I'm dead.

00:53:38.100 The power goes out, you know, the New York Times thing, you know, where cyber warfare,

00:53:44.100 well, I'm dead within a week.

00:53:45.220 And I'm very marbled, so I'm being eaten by the survivors that are out actually using 0.98

00:53:50.140 sledgehammers.

00:53:50.740 Oh, in the cannibalism economy, you're high value.

00:53:54.400 Oh, yeah.

00:53:55.960 No, they bid on me, the different camps.

00:53:58.800 They take me, and they're like, okay, we got this one up for sale.

00:54:01.960 He is really soft, tender, tender-eaten, and very, very juicy and fatty.

00:54:07.580 And people say you're not preparing for the future.

00:54:09.720 You clearly are.

00:54:10.840 I mean, look at that.

00:54:11.660 I am.

00:54:12.120 I am.

00:54:12.320 It takes a long, long, long amount of work to get to where you are.

00:54:15.200 I clearly am.

00:54:16.800 You know, I've spent the last two weeks with my son.

00:54:22.480 It's really kind of been, it's been a hard year with him, because he's coming into his own.

00:54:29.140 And that's good.

00:54:32.480 It's all good stuff.

00:54:34.120 But it's hard.

00:54:36.180 And I'm trying to walk him through it without self-destruction because of what is, you know,

00:54:41.340 what's happening in society.

00:54:42.620 And, you know, he had a real problem last year around the summertime.

00:54:48.380 And then this last year has been really, really tough.

00:54:53.980 And it's hard because when you're a dad and you have more than one child, it's hard to dedicate yourself to all of them at the same time.

00:55:08.720 And it's tough.

00:55:11.180 If dads, dads deserve a day of looking up and saying, hey, thanks, dad, because it's, it's a hard job and harder than working construction.

00:55:22.860 This is the Glenn Beck Program.

00:55:24.980 Hey, it's Glenn.

00:55:26.000 And I want to tell you about something that you should either end your day with or start your morning with.

00:55:31.860 And that is the news and why it matters.

00:55:34.840 If you like this show, you're going to love the news and why it matters.

00:55:38.120 It's a bunch of us that all get together at the end of the day and just talk about the stories that matter to you and your life.
